THE Shame and Humiliation OF THE QUAKERS IN A Remarkable Judgment of ●●●●ituation already begun upon some of 〈…〉 Ministers of their Second Days Meeting With a fair Warning and kind Admonition to the rest who are sincere and desire to escape the Snare of Deceit to beware of them 1. A Brief Account of the Beginning and Progress of the Difference between George Keith and the other Quakers and of their Meeting at Turners-Hall April 29 1697. GEORGE KEITH who had been bred a Scholar had taken his degree of M. A. at Aberdeen in Scotland and was one of the most Learned of all the Quakers coming into Pensilvania and observing the Quakers there to Preach up the Light within but nothing of Christ without contrary to what he had asserted in behalf of the Quakers against some who had charged them to be no Christians and being moved thereat began to Preach up the true Doctrine concerning Christ whereupon he was charged with Preaching up two Christs and for asserting that the Light within was not sufficient without something else And several Hearings there were there about it but it was carried there against him so that he was forced to write about it to the Friends here and at last to come over himself but before he came over this gave him occasion to consider better of some other of their Principles and he discovered in them divers other Errors which he had never held and that he himself had been carried away and deceived in some things and particularly concerning the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's-Supper so that he is now become one of the most moderate of the Dissenters but ingaging in no Party only some of the Quakers are come off to him When he came over instead of Redress he met with the like usage here only because it would have been too gross to have censured him expressly for that Cause they made the most plausible Pretences they could for it and passed a Sentence of Excommunication against him Whereupon he charged them with divers gross Errors and Heresies and appointed the 11th of June last to make good his Charge at Turners-Hall in Filpot-Lane but none of the Persons concerned appearing then to answer the Charge he Printed a Narrative of that Meeting and again this Year by a Printed Advertisement dated April 9. 1697. gave notice of another intended Meeting by him and his Friends at Turners-Hall upon the 29th of the same Month. At which Meeting he was further to detect the vile and gross Errors and Heresies of certain Quakers of their Second Days Meeting at Lombard-Street that is of their Ministers wherewith they had been formerly charged by him in relation to Four Fundamentals of the Christian Religion to which those Errors and Heresies are directly repugnant And the said Persons were desired to be present The Errors charged were these 1. That Faith in Christ as he outwardly suffered at Jerusalem is not necessary to our Salvation 2. That Justification and Sanctification is not by the Blood of Christ outwardly shed 3. That there is no Resurrection of the Body that dieth 4. That Christ is not to come without us in his glorified Body even the same that formerly suffered Death for our Sins to judge the Quick and the Dead At the day appointed none of the Persons desired to be present appeared so that he had nothing to do but to produce the Proofs of his Charge against them which he read out of the Books themselves which were brought thither on purpose and discoursed upon them Of which a full Narrative is preparing for the Press But two Persons placed themselves at the Entrance of the Gate of Turners-Hall and gave each of them a Paper to such as were going in the one Intituled A Letter on George Keith 's Advertisement a Counterfeit written as by one of the Church of England but a very silly thing and without any Name to it and not worthy to be regarded but the other Intituled A Solemn Protestation against George Keith 's Advertisement c. Though as weak yet appearing in that Form of a Protestation and dated the very day of their Second Days Meeting and written by some of them concerned a Person of the Church of England who had had divers Conferences with them out of good will to do them good and received one of them as he was going in made some brief Observations upon it which he put in Writing and at the end of the Meeting read to the People there Which being desired by many were permitted to be Printed with some Enlargements as followeth 2. Observations upon the Quakers Solemn Protestation against George Keith's Advertisement THIS Protestation being delivered at Turners-Hall-Gate at the time appointed by G. K. by Persons known I suppose to be Quakers and being written by and in the Name of the Persons concerned for so they stile themselves we therefore who are concerned c. p. 1. and in the Conclusion Written c. by some of them concerned for these Reasons it may deserve some Consideration And these things are observable in it 1. Their Tergiversation refusing to vindicate themselves and their Doctrines when they had fair Notice of Time and Place when and where divers vile and gross Errors and Heresies were to be objected and proved against them before any who would be present to hear it Had this been only at this time there might have been some special Cause for it but this is not the first time nor is George Keith the only person whom they have refused to answer I must be a Witness against them and many of their own People if they be sincere and not more affected to a Party than to the Truth must bear me Witness against them that I have divers times offered at their own Head-Quarters as I might call it their Meeting-place between Grace-Church-Street and Lombard-Street where they have their Conclave and hold their Principal Assemblies in a friendly and amicable manner to have discoursed some Matters wherein I know they are out of the way or short and to have done my Endeavour to help them out that they might be compleat in all things and offered if they thought it not convenient at the time to do it at some other time which they should appoint but they never would be perswaded to it This their own People can many of them witness But I must say more I had before this had divers very friendly Meetings with 7 or 8 of the Principal of them at a time and had sent them several very kind Letters had acquainted them with the special Reasons and Motives of my Kindness to them and given such Evidence of my Sincerity that no reasonable Man could question so that there can be no reasonable Cause imagined why they should refuse to hear me but only Obstinacy and Consciousness of the Truth of what they knew I had to say and of their own Errors which if they were indeed acted by the
