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_n have_v a_o body_n in_o heaven_n that_o be_v not_o everywhere_o be_v neither_o anthropomorphism_n nor_o muggletonism_n but_o find_v christian_a doctrine_n according_a to_o scripture_n for_o

but_o the_o true_a christian_a doctrine_n be_v that_o christ_n as_o god_n be_v no_o body_n and_o yet_o that_o the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n dwell_v in_o that_o body_n and_o be_v most_o glorious_o

whereas_o the_o full_a reward_n be_v reserve_v for_o both_o at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a and_o yet_o this_o neither_o prove_v the_o mortality_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o that_o it_o be_v
