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

that Outward Blood so outwardly shed as the Payment of our Debt and Satisfaction for our Sins is this the true saving Faith Was not his outward Blood that Blood without sheding of which there cou'd be no Remission Heb. 9.22 But if your Mystical and Allegorical Notion of Inward and Spiritual Blood that is Only Light and Spirit within may be constru'd to be that Blood and that it is shed inwardly at this Day when as you say in the above Queries that he has no outward Blood then it might have been shed before Christ came in the Flesh or if he had never come And so renders his coming unnecessary and our Faith in him as come in the Flesh to be altogether vain These Questions may be propos'd to the Assembly and their Answer demanded W. Lancaster Chaplain to the Lord Bishop of London May 15. 1695. Return your Answer to Dr. Lancaster at Mr. Wiseman ' s House a Chirurgeon in Long-Acre London 3. Day 4. Month call'd June 1695. Friend William Lancaster HAving received a Paper of great Objections against Us the People call'd Quakers with Seven Queries therein subscrib'd William Lancaster directed to our Yearly Meeting in Whitsun-Week 1695. and deliver'd to some of Us very near the Conclusion thereof and therefore only read in the said Meeting which not having any further Time to consider the Contents thereof or to give any particular Answer thereunto it was by the said Meeting left to a few to consider and answer as in the Fear of God and Meekness of Wisdom we should see Cause Wherein we observe is noted Great Objections have been made against Vs by those who have departed from our Communion as by others To which we reply That 's True and they have been answer'd to which we referr And we observe in the said Paper it 's said We would not take an Account of you only from your Adversaries c. and We have chosen this Solemn Time and again And We have chosen this most proper and convenient Opportunity c. And then states the several Queries and says These Questions may be propos'd and their Answer demanded Now the Objections having been publick and our Answers publick we desire to know who the Wee are that are intended in this Paper that we may apply our selves to them or give such Scriptural Answers as we hope may tend to Satisfaction But to repeat Answers in Writing or Print to we know not who so often as demanded to the same things already answer'd we think it not needful Therefore have herewith only sent thee a few brief Lines being grosly wrong'd and mis-represented in the said Objections And divers of the Queries contain several Questions in them in different Terms and some Unscriptural so not plain and direct Queries therefore cannot positively be answer'd by our single Yea or Nay to each Query as desir'd We therefore at present send this general Answer to the Queries for thy Information as followeth viz. We sincerely believe and profess Jesus Christ and the Resurrection according to the Holy Scripture-Testimony and to that measure of Understanding which God hath been pleased to give us by his Holy Spirit We sincerely believe in Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of the Living God both as He is True God and Perfect Man our Emanuel and Mediatour and as in the Fulness of Time he was Conceiv'd by the Holy Ghost Born of the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem of Judaea Suffer'd under Pontius Pilate was Crucify'd and put to Death was Buried Rose again the third day and visibly Ascended into Heaven and was received into Glory and that this same Jesus Christ that was crucify'd shall so in like manner come as he was seen to go into Heaven in Power and great Glory to judge both the Living and the Dead according to their Works at the last and great Day of Judgment in that great Harvest which is the End of the World And that by Jesus Christ there shall be a Resurrection of the Dead both of the Just and Unjust unto the Righteous Judgment of the great Day consequently That the Resurrection is not past as Hymeneus and Philetus said 2 Tim. 2.18 And that the Dead shall be rais'd Incorruptible every Man in his own Order and that our low Body shall be chang'd and made like unto Christ's glorious Body The Resurrection of the Bodies of the Saints we believe shall be Spiritual and Glorious and that the Sons of God and of the Resurrection shall be equal to the Angels of God in Heaven and shine as the Sun in the Kingdom of their Father and yet there is such a great Mystery in the Resurrection as that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God neither doth Corruption inherit Incorruption 1 Cor. 15. The whole Sacrifice of Christ whereof his Blood outwardly that was shed was a Part was of great Price with God for Man's Redemption Christ's Blood that was shed without the Gates of Jerusalem together with the whole Sacrifice of Himself both of Soul and Body was a true Propitiation and Atonement for Man's Reconciliation and Peace with God for Remission of Sins through a living Faith and true Repentance in his Name given and wronght by his Spirit and Word of Power in Mens Hearts whose sincere Obedience to Christ and walking in his Light being required of them in order to experience Christ the Author of their Eternal Salvation and to wash them from their Sins in his own Blood for without this true Faith Repentance and Obedience to Christ Jesus Men lose and forfeit the great Benefit of Christ's Sufferings and deprive themselves of that Eternal Redemption and Salvation which he hath thereby obtained for Us tho' he dy'd for all Men tasted Death for every Man and gave himself a Ransom for all to be testify'd of in due Time being a true Propitiation for the Sins of the whole World From thy Friends and Well-Wishers John Gratton Samuel Wattson Thomas Lower James Parke John Bowater Geo. Whitehead John Vaughton A True Copy THE SEVEN QUERIES Delivered to the Yearly Meeting of the People called Quakers met at Grace-Church-Street Meeting-House the 15th Day of the third Month 1695. Signed by William Lancaster with these Words prefix'd to his Signing These Queries may be proposed to the Assembly and their Answer demanded by William Lancaster Chaplain to the Lord Bishop of London Answered plainly and directly out of the Printed Books of George Whitehead and William Pen. Query I. DO you believe in Christ without you now in Heaven Answer To this G. Whitehead's Words in his Answer to William Burnet in his Book called The Light and Life of Christ within c. Printed at London in the Year 1668. may be a proper Reply to signifie his Perswasion touching this weighty Question I shall first recite the Words of William Burnet as I find them quoted by Geo. Whitehead in the 38 th page of his Book The Light and Life of Christ within Baptist Now the

Quakers would be so far from directing Men to go to the Material Temple That they make it a vain thing to look to Jerusalem to the Antitype of that Temple viz. To Jesus Christ as he was there Crucified or unto that Blood that was there Shed for Justification p. 24. G. Whitehead answereth The Quakers see no need of directing Men to the Type for the Antitype viz. Neither to the outward Temple nor yet to Jerusalem either to Jesus Christ or his Blood knowing that neither the Righteousness of Faith nor the Word of it doth so direct Rom. 10. And a few Lines after he saith And where do the Scriptures say The Blood was there shed for Justification and that Men must be directed unto Jerusalem for it Query II. Hath he now in Heaven the same Body though now changed in Qualities and Glorify'd which he assum'd in the Womb of the Blessed Virgin in which he Suffer'd Died was Buried Rose again and Ascended outwardly In Answer to this take John Whitehead's Words in his Postscript to a Book call'd The Quakers Refuge pag. 90.41 I have several times saith he deny'd that Christ hath now a Body of Flesh and Bones circumscript or limited in that Heaven which is above and out of every Man on Earth Again he saith ibidem Christ hath a Body or is in a Body suitable to his Spirit consisting of Heavenly Flesh and Bone Also he saith Wheresoever the Spirit and Life of Christ is that is in the Body of Christ Note As he owneth that Christ has a Body that is not the Church yet he owneth no other Body of his besides his Church that is circumscript or limited out of every Man on Earth Now by John Whitehead's Words it plainly appeareth either that Christ hath not that real Body he had on Earth which was Crucify'd c. or if he hath it is such as not only every one of the Saints but every Man yea and every Creature hath he denying it to be circumscript or limited And is not this a fair Inlet to the Popish Doctrine of the real Presence of Christ's Body that suffered to be in the consecrated bread as they imagine Query III. Will he return in that same Body Outwardly or without Men to judge the World c Answer To this George Whitehead's Words in his Book before-mentioned call'd The Life and Light of Christ within page 4 1. are a fit Reply whereby to give us an Account of his Belief or rather Unbelief in this weighty Fundamental Doctrine of the Christian Faith But three Comings of Christ saith George Whitehead not only that in the Flesh at Jirusalem and that in the Spirit but also another Coming in the Flesh yet to be expected we do not read of but a second Coming without Sin unto Salvation which in the Apostles Days was looked for And one John Newman whom George Whitehead answereth in his Book call'd Christ ascended above the Clouds having said from Rev. 1.7 Those that pierced him in his Body of Flesh shall see that Body visibly come again To this George Whitehead answereth These are not the Words of Scripture but added although to add or diminish be forbidden under a Penalty Rev. 22.18 19. yet this Man's Presumption leads him to incurr that See also for Answer to him Rev. 1.7 8. and 13 14 16. in none of which is Jesus Christ either call'd or represented as a Body of Flesh visibly to come again but that he is Alpha and Omega the first and the last And Christ in the Days of his Flesh wherein he visibly appear'd to the World said Yet a little while and the World seeth me no more John 14. and 19. But his second Coming and Appearance without Sin unto Salvation I own and witness page 21 22 of that Book and page 23. So where they add the Word Personal or his coming again or Personal Being do they not herein shew their carnal Expectations c And George Whitehead in his Answer to William Burnet The Light within c. page 40. replyeth to two places of Scripture brought by William Burnet to prove Christ's Coming again without us to judge the Quick and the Dead where he answereth in these express Words And as to that 1 Thes 4.17 which William Burnet brings to prove that Christ shall come in the latter end of the World from Heaven above the Clouds Now in p. 15. it 's said that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of our Lord now I ask saith George Whitehead if they did live and remain to a Personal Coming of Christ in the Clouds yea or nay or can it be reasonably thought to be a Coming that is not yet that they lived and remained unto c. And in Answer to that other place of Scripture which William Burnet had brought to prove the Resurrection of the deceas'd Saints after the Bodily Death George Whitehead saith again that the Dead in Christ shall arise first we own to be an Effect of Christ's Coming and know that there is a Dying in Christ and being Baptized unto his Death before a Coming forth or Rising in the likeness of his Resurrection c. And a little after saith But to know the said States what it is to Die with Christ to be conformable unto his Death and to partake of the Power of his Resurrection these things are hid from that Eye that is Carnal c. Note He grosly perverteth and misapplyeth these Scriptures only to an inward Dying and Rising with Christ and to his inward Coming into the Saints But though the inward Work of Mortification and an inward Death and Rising is to be own'd and which I find not that William Burnet in his Words deny'd and is according to the Scriptures Testimony and the Saints Experience yet surely to understand these above-mentioned places of Scripture of that inward Dying and Rising and inward Coming of Christ in the Saints is a gross Perversion and Misapplication of Scripture yea and a gross Abuse of it especially when it is brought by George Whitehead on purpose to contradict William Burnet's Assertion held in common by all sincere Christians viz. That Christ is as visibly to Come again as he did visibly Ascend and that the Bodies of the Dead Saints shall be Raised And George Whitehead's Reason that he brings to refute William Burnet's sound Assertions in this matter is most weak and impertinent As because Christ said John 14.19 Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more which he brings to contradict Christ's coming againg in Person without us to judge the World It proveth no such thing as that he should never at any time appear to the World for he limits it for a little time that they shou'd not see him And the Greek Word or Particle may be well translated not as yet as it is elsewhere translated And what a trifling and empty Reason brings he to prove that 1 Thes 4.17 is not to be understood of
