Christ Up steps Immediate Revelation and Answers in the Affirmative and refers As to his Birth to p. 256. And thus according to his Spiritual Birth in the Saints is the Seed of Woman for that the Saints are the Woman that bring him forth after the Spirit and are his Mother as Mary brought him forth after the Flesh and after the Spirit also so that she was the Mother of Jesus in a double respect for as she brought him forth in her Body so she brought him forth in her Soul otherwise he could not have been her Saviour as Augustine and long after him Erasmus hath well observed Now as to his Death and Resurrection see 244 245. And he is called the Hidden Man of the Heart whom Paul witn●ssed that he lived in him this he understood of Christ as Man for as God he liveth in all neither as God can he be Crucified or Die and yet he is Crucified in those that are ungodly in whom as they turn from their ungodliness he cometh to live whose Life as a Seed is sown in every Man and as every Seed hath its Body so hath this Seed its Body which as it is raised up in us the Life is raised up or revealed in it through which Life of the Man Jesus we have access unto the Father and have our Fellowship both with the Father and the Son Then for Algorizing his Miracles read p. 200. And we witness the Power of God which wrought all these outward Miracles working Miraculously in our Hearts opening the Blind Eye of the Mind and Deaf Ear raising to Life the Dead Soul causing the Lame to leap as an Hart and the Tongue of the Dumb to speak c. And these are the GREATEST Miracles and the outward were but a Figure of them and were for the sake of Vnbelievers who believed not except they saw Thus far Immediate Revelation Now Mr. Keith I can see no other Remedy but ●ou must either cry Peccavi if you would have Mr. Whitehead to do so too or else ●ame him not whilst you are tardy your self for Turpe est doctori cum culpa redarguit ipsum But as a farther Confirmation hereof and to evince that you have once had as high 〈◊〉 Opinion for ought I can perceive and have given as high Titles perhaps as 〈◊〉 Whitehead or any other Quaker to what they call the Light within and you ●●●ewise in the aforementioned Treatise sometimes call so too as well as Christ within the Seed Birth Spirit Wisdom c.

The Seed of the Woman That Man-child which John the Beloved Disciple saw brought forth by the Woman that was cloathed with the Sun and Moon under her Feet But reviewing your Exact Narrative I find a passage which s●ems Calculated for the Meridian of a Recantation enough one would think to perswade the Incredulous World that you are just mounting the Stool of Repentance I read it thus p. 35. I thank God that hath given me that humble Heart that if they bring any passage out of my Books that is not to be justified I will own my Errour and Shortness Now if they would do the like it would be well And therefore to lay it the more home upon you both I would Counsel both Parties so far as either or both of you are concerned to take the advice given in your Preface viz. But if they really disown these gross and vile Errours which I have proved them guilty of in this following Narrative and be Cordial 〈◊〉 the belief and acknowledgment of the great Fundamental Truths opposite to these Errours then it will be that which the sincere Professors of Christianity in these three Nations will expect from them and may justly require of them as publickly to retract and renounce these Errours as they have publickly asserted them in their Printed Books in the Face of the Christian World otherwise no sincere Christians will believe them to be in good Earnest but that they resemble many Old Hereticks and particularly the Crafty Arrians that pretended and made great Protestations that they owned the true Faith according to all contained in the Scriptures when they did nothing less Now Sir Example● being more prevalent than Precepts do you lead the way and if they do not follow you will have acquitted your self and so far left them without Excuse if in Obstinacy they should refuse to write after your Copy For I hope you will by this time be Convinced that the above Quotations are so diametrically opposite to each other that they cannot all be true and sound Doctrine But if should still remain of another Mind and think them all defensible you would do well to reconcile them so as to evidence it to others which if you should forbear to endeavour I must then tell you That the sincere Professors of Christianity may justly require of you publickly in Print to retract and renounce those that by Scripture and Sound Reason you cannot defend For Mr. Keith we have an Old Proverb amongst us That which is Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander Furthermore it is expected of you that you should once come to stability and no longer be like Caesar at the River Rubicon one while a mind to go back another while a mind to go forward one while profess your self a Quaker another while almost ashamed of the Name But either come wholly over to the Church of England to whom you seem much inclined and who seems ready with open Arms to receive you as a true Penitent and thereby make amends for your so long joining with the Quakers who have so fiercely opposed Her whereby in probability you may obtain a Settlement which may prevent the Ruin of your self and Family you seem so apprehensive of by leaving the Quakers who perhaps in Retaliation of your good Service may be pleased to Reward you with some Ecclesiastical Preferment which your great Learning and Abilities may Entitle you to Or else e'ne turn back to your late Abdicated Opinions and once more embrace your forsaken Friends with a Brotherly Love if after all the Affronts you have put upon them they will yet receive you For in short neither God nor good Men love a Laodicean Lukewarmness but if you continue so neither hot nor cold will be ready to Spew you out of their Mouths Thus have I adventured to gi●e you my Opinion and so intend to conclude designing brevity because I would take the Poets Advice Contra verbosum noli contendere verbis SIR Yours W.

of Regeneration I do affirm the Work of Regeneration is a light thing tho' not light in its self Immediate Revelation p. 120 121. And all these glorious things both he in the Days of his Flesh and the Prophets before that his Appearance in that Body of Flesh declared neither only nor principally concerning his Coming in the Flesh namely in that Vessel or Temple which appeared at Jerusalem but mainly and principally concerning his Spiritual Appearance in his Saints after his being Crucified Risen and Ascended for till then the Son of Man was not glorified Phil. 7.39 And though he was Bodily present with his Disciples yet he told them they were to see greater things Phil. 1.50 And he said The Kingdom of God was at hand I am not accountable for your False Quotations and he taught them to pray for it and he said There be standing some among you which shall not taste of Death till they see the Kingdom of God come with great Power and Glry Whereby it is manifest that these things relat MAINLY to his coming again in Spirit when it should be poured out accordi●g to those many Promises concerning the same Recorded in the Prophets an● as is said before he told them It was expedient he should go away that he might c●me again in a MORE GLORIOUS and Comfortable Appearance by the Reve●ation of his Glorious Power in their Hearts for his Kingdom was not of this World but an Inward Kingdom and he said that it was within and pointed to this Spiritual Appearance by his Light in their Hearts under many Parables and Figures which he calls the Kingdom of God Mat. 13.18 19 c. Exact Narrative Ibid. But the matter is there is a Saving Faith of Christ without us and Christ without us as he is both God and Man the Emmanuel as well as his inward Appearance in us is the Object of Saving Faith but those Men would not own it Immediate Revelation p 231. So that this Internal Revelation Searching and Testimony is the Foundation and Ground of my Faith commonly called the formal Object of Faith for which I believe and assent unto the Truth of any part of the Scripture and consequently of the History its self if my Faith be a Divine and Supernatural Faith and not meerly Humane Exact Narrative p. 46. He says I have already cleared George Whitehead and William Penn from that Charge that they have not destroyed the Object of Faith And I say I have proved that they have destroyed the Object of Faith if they have at other times owned it let them disown and retract their Errours I am not to account for their Contradictions They have Contradicted themselves they have Disowned the Object of Faith and if I have Charged them with it this is no Contradiction in me but in them Immediate Revelation p. 4. And if we are to partake of the same precious Faith so also are we to partake of the same precious Revelation and Inspiration of the Word of God by which their Faith was wrought and which was its OBJECT and Foundation as also it is ours and continues to be the same in all Generations Exact Narrative p. 26. Now he says It is contrary to Rom. 10. to direct People to Jesus Christ as he was Crucified at Jerusalem But let the Bible be judge He has not Cited the Verse but the Verses he aims 〈◊〉 shall read Ver. 5 6 7 8. For Moses describeth the Righteousness which is of the Law That the Man which doth those things shall live by them c. See Ver. 6 7 8. Now in their Preachments they have used to stop there and go no further But read the 9th Verse If thou shalt confess with thy Mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine Heart that God hath raised him from the Dead thou shalt be saved c. Immediate Revelation p. 77. The Light reveals the WHOLE Wi●● of God unto him and as he abides in the Light and waits in it it will manifest clearly in him what he should do and what he should shun and he needs not go forth to seek a Law without him or a Teacher without him The Word is near in his Heart and in his Mouth and this is the Word of Faith to which Moses pointed the Jews and Paul the Romans Again p. 106 107. And he calls them the Words of the Righteousn●●● of Faith and that Word Moses pointed the Jews to in the Heart He calls it the Word of Faith and it is clear he understands it of Christ for he addeth by way of Interpretation to Moses's words speaking from the same Spirit Say not in thine Heart who shall ascend into Heaven That is saith he to bring Christ down from above Again a little lower in the same page And the Jews and People of Israel wh● lived in Moses's time and WERE SAVED it was through Faith in this Word 〈◊〉 this Prophet raised up in them in their Hearts not at a distance but nigh the Word is nigh in thy Heart And this is CHRIST IN THEM the Hope o● Glory the Mystery hid from Ages and Generations but was ever made manife●● in his Saints but in the latter Days more clearly Christ in all that believe the Hope of Glory Well Sir I hope you will thank me for making no Comments upon the foregoing two-fac'd and double-tongu'd Quotations I referring that part to your self upon a Review Only Querying of you Whether they Treat of Fundamentals or no But pray excuse me if I trouble you a little farther and be pleased to exercise what little patience you may by this time have left in perusing what I have further to offer I observe you say of Mr. G. Whitehead Exact Narrative p. 39 40. Now all these proofs Mat. 16.27 28. Luke 9.26 27. 1 Thes 4.17 he has Allego●ized to Christ within he has Allegorized away his Birth his Death Resurrection and Ascention and coming to Judgment and so we have nothing from Scripture to prove Christ's Death to be of any Benefit to us and we have no Arguments to prove he came in the Flesh And so all the Proofs against Jews and Philosophers h● has Allegorized away But Sir What if Mr. Keith have done the like what will you say then Perhaps the World may be ready to say There is never a Barrel the better Herring of you in that respect For if I were to ask Mr. Whitehead Whether by the places you quote his Intention was the Explication thereof being always to be allowed to surviving Authors according to your own Proposal in a Book I have by me thereby to overthrow the Faith of Christ Crucified c perhaps he might reply No and produce some of his Books in confirmation of such a denial Then on the other hand if it should be queried of Mr. Keith Whether he never Allegorized for the word away we must in Justice drop on both sides the Birth Crucifixion Resurrection and Miracles of
