A47149	Gross error and hypocrisie detected in George Whitehead and some of his brethern as doth appear from the disingenuous and hypocritical answer he and some others have given to some queries sent to the last Yearly Meeting of the people call'd Quakers, in the third month, 1695, by comparing the said answer with the printed books of the said George Whitehead, William Pemn, and John Whitehead, leading men in the said Meeting, wherein the great inconistency and contradiction of their present late answer to the express words and sentiments of their printed books is discovered : with a further account of their vile and pernicious errours / by George Keith.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.; Lancaster, William, 1650-1717.; Gratton, John, 1641-1712.	1695 (1695)	Wing K172; ESTC R3387	26,885	44

Christ hath a Body in Heaven that is not every-where is neither Anthropomorphism nor Muggletonism but found Christian Doctrine according to Scripture For the Errour of the Anthropomorphites and Muggletonians was and is That the Godhead is a Body and circumscript and limited to one Place and not Omnipresent But the true Christian Doctrine is That Christ as God is no Body and yet that the Godhead of Christ dwelleth in that Body and is most gloriously united to the Soul and Body of Christ's Manhood now in Heaven and yet that the Godhead is not circumscribed within that Body but is every-where present and by special Manifestations and Operations of his Spirit dwelleth in the Saints But again That it was and for ought I know now is the Mind of George Whitehead That the Bodies of the Saints are not to rise again to be re-united to the Souls with which they were formerly joined Let us hear what he saith in his part of the Christian Quaker page 153 where he hath these Words Both Calvin T. D. the Schools and divers Anabaptists are mistaken in this very Matter and see not with the Eye of true Faith either that the Happiness of the Soul is not perfect without the Body or that the Soul hath a strong Desire to a Re-union to the Body while they intend the Terrestrial and Elementary Bodies For this implies the Soul to be in a kind of Purgatory or disquietness till the suppos'd resumption of the Body And their Assertion and Determination herein is contrary to what the Apostle saith 2. Cor. 5. Note From George Whitehead's own Words here cited the Argument is as much against the Souls of the deceased Saints now in Heaven having a desire to be united to any Body whatsoever for suppose they now desire and expect to be united to a Heavenly Body they were not formerly united to this would as much imply that they are in a kind of Purgatory as to suppose them to desire to be united to that Body they formerly had But it is disingenuous and unfair in George Whitehead to represent it as the general sense of Calvin and the Schools That the Body to which the Soul of a deceas'd Saint hath a desire of Re-union shall be Terrestrial and Elementary such as it was on Earth For the more Judicious of all sorts hold That the Bodies of the Saints at the Resurrection shall be changed in Qualities and Properties from Terrestrial to Celestial and from Animal to Spiritual yet retaining the same Substance and Essence Next Let us hear William Penn in his Answer against Thomas Hicks call'd Reason against Railing treating on the Estate of the deceased Saints page 138. Is the Joy of the Ancients now in Glory saith he imperfect or are they in Heaven but by halfs If it be so unequitable that the Body which hath suffer'd shou'd not partake of the Joys Celestial is it not in measure unequal that the Soul should be so long rewarded before the Body This brings to the Mortality of the Soul held by many Baptists or I am mistaken But why must the Felicity of the Soul depend on that of the Body Is it not to make the Soul a kind of a Widow and so in a State of Mourning and Disconsolateness to be without its beloved Body which State is but a better State of Purgatory Note Here he plainly maketh his Ignorance and Unbelief to appear concerning the Resurrection of the Dead and the deceased Saints By his Arguing all the Saints between deceased Abel and Christ got all the Resurrection they expected either in the Mortal Body or immediately after Death and so Thousands were raised from the Dead before Christ quite contrary to Scripture that saith Christ should be the first that should rise from the Dead and he is the First-fruits of them that sleep And it is not Christian in William Penn thus to ridicule that great Article of the Christian Faith and to Argue against the inequality of Divine Providence if the Soul shall be so long rewarded before the Body whereas the full Reward is reserved for both at the Resurrection of the Just And yet this neither proveth the Mortality of the Soul or that it is in a State of Purgatory before the Resurrection And as I have noticed in George Whitehead the like I wou'd have the Reader to notice in William Penn who as they both deny the Resurrection of the Body as a thing which the deceased Saints wait for so they both Argue against it from false Principles of false and spurious Philosophy As that a Body that is Earthly and Gross cannot put off its Earthliness and Grossness without any change of its Substance or Essence a thing so commonly known not only among Chymists but to all ordinary Stillers who know by daily Experience how gross Bodies are changed from their grossness in great part and made Subtile or Volatile and yet remain Body still and the same Bodies in Substance And if the Operation of Fire and Mens Art have this Effect upon gross Bodies of Herbs Stones and Flesh to change them in great part how much more ought we to acknowledge the Wisdom and Power of God not only can but will change the Bodies of the Saints from all Gross and Terrestrial Qualities to be Heavenly and Spiritual the Husk or drossy part that is no more the true Body than Dross in a Lump of rich Oar of Gold is Gold being excepted Query V. Do ye believe that Christ or the Eternal Word was so made Flesh that he truly and really became Man as truly Man as he was God c For Answer to this let us hear what George Whitehead saith in his Book above-cited The Life and Light c. page 39. As for those Expressions saith he God-man being born of Mary we do not find them in the Scriptures nor do we read that Mary was the Mother of God but in the Pope's Canons Articles c. And page 47. he saith What Nonsence and Unscripture Language is this to tell of God being Co-creator with the Father or that God had Glory with God doth not this imply two Gods and that God had a Father let the Reader Judge Note Is not this the very Argument of Arians c I wonder what George Whitehead will make or hold concerning Christ at last One while that visible Man born of the Virgin was not the Christ for Christ was never seen with a Carnal Eye Which Expression George Whitehead defends The Light and Life page 62 and brings that place in John 14. to defend it He that seeth me seeth my father also Where it is plain by sight in that place Christ meant a Spiritual Saving Knowledge and Faith of Christ which whoever have they know the Father also But Christ told the Jews they did see him and did not believe in him Another while with George Whitehead to say Christ or the Word was with God and had Glory with God before the World was
