MORE DIVISIONS AMONGST THE QUAKERS As appears by the following Books of their own Writing VIZ. I. The Christian Faith of New-England Quakers condemn'd by a Meeting of Pensilvanian Quakers II. The false Judgment of a yearly Meeting of Quakers in Maryland condemn'd by George Keith Thomas Budd c. all Quakers To which is added A Discovery of this Mystery of Iniquity By GEORGE KEITH First Printed beyond Sea and now Re-printed and are to be Sold by Richard Baldwin near the Oxford-Arms in Warwick-Lane 1693. The Christian Faith of the People called Quakers in Rhode-Island in New-England vindicated from the Calumnies of Christian Lodowick that formerly was of that Profession but is lately fall'n therefrom WHereas Christian Lodowick hath given forth several Papers Challenging all these belonging to Newport Meeting who speak in the Meetings of the People called Quakers and that within these few days past he hath renewed his Challenge accusing the Foundation of their Gospel Faith Doctrine and Religion to be unscriptural false and naught shaken and sandy and challenging them to appoint one of their number to dispute with him These are to give notice to all sober People and Neighbours that these so challenged by him having taken his Challenge into consideration and finding many things in it falsly and perversly stated which they could not own so stated by him to be the Foundation of their Faith c. did meet with him at the House of Walter Clark in Newport in Rhode-Island the 18th of the 4th Month 1691 in order to have things fairly stated that if any did dispute with him they might know before hand what he was to dispute against but they could not procure him to allow of this but after that some of the things charged by him in his Papers began to be discoursed of in order to a fair and right stating of them he would not hear of it but went away And whereas divers of us challenged by him declared sincerely before many People there assembled on the said day their sincere Faith as concerning the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth and what the holy Scriptures testifie of him yet he did continue to accuse them still as denying the true Christ alledging They had another sence than the Scripture words did bear and that his sence was true but their sence was false appealing to their Consciences whether it was not so Thus making himself Judge over our secret thoughts as having a secret sence in our thoughts of Scripture words contrary to the true sence of them tho' we have not given him or any other occasion to judge so rashly and uncharitably of us and our Consciences bear us witness in the sight of God that we do sincerely believe and think as we speak when we say according to the holy Scripture That Jesus of Nazareth is the true Christ of God and the only true Saviour and there is no other Name given under Heaven whereby men must be saved and that this same Jesus was in fulness of time born of the Virgin called Mary being conceived of the Holy Ghost who died for our sins and rose again for our Justification and by his death on the Tree of the Cross was a most acceptable Offering and Sacrifice to God for the sins of the whole world having tasted death for every man and given himself a Ransom for all And we believe that Christ was God manifest in the Flesh even in the Body of Flesh in which he did suffer death on the Cross and that the fulness of the Godhead dwelt bodily in him and doth still dwell bodily in him and that of his fulness we all receive and grace for grace And we also believe according to holy Scripture that Christ's Body that was crucified on the Tree of the Cross was raised again on the third day and after forty days did ascend into Heaven in the sight of the Disciples and who is exalted at the right hand of God and ever liveth to make Intercession for us and that Christ hath his Body in Heaven a most glorious Body not changed in Being or Substance but in condition and manner of Being and that Christ is true and perfect God and true and perfect Man the Son of God begotten of God from everlasting glorified with the Father before the World began and also begotten of God in the Womb of the Virgin called Mary and born of her in the fulness of time the Son of Abraham the Son of David who took not on him the Nature of Angels but the Seed of Abraham and which he still hath and that Christ as Man hath both Soul and Body and his Manhood is most excellently and wonderfully united with his Godhead yet his Manhood is not his Godhead nor is his Body that he had of the Virgin and now hath in Heaven his Godhead but the Temple of it as Christ called his Body the Temple and is the Garment or Cloathing wherewith the Eternal Word did clothe himself who is that new and living Way that he hath consecrated for us through the Vail that is to say his Flesh And we believe That God the Father hath appointed the Man Christ Jesus to be the Judge of the Quick and the Dead and that he is to come to judge all Mankind and that his coming so to Judge all Mankind with the great and last Judgment is at the end of the world the which End of the world we do believe is not come either within us or without us as he doth falsly charge for the End of the world as the Scripture declareth it is the End of the Ages or Times of this World for the Times and Ages of this world shall have an End and God hath appointed a Day wherein he will judge the world in righteousness by that Man Christ Jesus whom he hath ordained but of that day and hour knoweth no Man as Christ hath declared that all might be watchful And because according to Scripture Testimony we do faithfully believe that Christ hath also inwardly and spiritually appeared in the Hearts of men and that all true Christians do believe and own his inward Appearance and Revelation in them as he is the Word Light and Life in them in various measures and degrees of Divine Revelation and that he is the true Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the World and that we testifie that all should turn to his Light in them that convinceth of sin and should believe in it and obey and follow it and that all who so do will be led in due time to believe in him in whom the Fulness is and to receive the benefit of Christ's Death and Resurrection in the outward therefore hath this Accuser joyned with Thomas Hicks a Baptist Teacher at London and John Faldo an Independant Teacher and divers others to accuse us as Denying the true Christ because we believe and confess to Christ's Inward Coming and Appearance were to deny his Outward or to hold

they call their Discerning as first whereas the Meeting in the Country used to be kept at an honest mans House and this man favoured me therefore they had a sence that he was a man of a wrong Spirit but whereas there was another that rise up in great Opposition to me charging me of Blasphemy because I said God was present in all his Creatures and of false Doctrine because I said Christ was in Heaven our Elder Brother and that he would appear again to judge the Quick and the Dead at the great Day therefore a Company of them removed their Meeting to this man's house whom they thought worthy crying him up as if he were no ordinary Saint whenas at the same time a Negro Woman had his Bastard carrying about in her Womb though he has a Wife of his own and though some have endeavoured to cloak it yet it appearing with more than ordinary clearness hath caused them now again to remove the Meeting from his House Secondly Another that hath lately given forth a Paper of Condemnation as if he were some great Convert about the very time of his pretended Conversion was discovered to be guilty of attempting to commit Sodomy which he hath partly confessed So that they have little cause to boast of their Converts or yet of their Spirit of Discerning And if some have left us more have left them and come to us and who are Persons of more Sobriety Fourthly Whereas H.D. saith It is sealed upon his heart that the Anger of the Lord is kindled as Fire against that Spirit of Division that appeared in G.K. and others Answ It is but ordinary to him and such other Hypocrites to take the Name of the Lord in vain it were well if he was sensible of the Fire of Gods Anger that is ready to kindle against him for his Lying Hypocrisie Enmity and falsly accusing the Innocent and seeking to justifie the Guilty We are not divided from faithful Friends and Brethren that are found in the Doctrine and Faith of Christ and whose Godly Life and Practice seal to the sincerity of their Faith but we are divided from Hypocrites Lyars and false accusers and gross Unbelievers who deny the Lord that bought them and Faith in him and for so doing God is not angry with us but well pleased having done it in obedience to Christ's Command who hath commanded us to be separate from Unbelievers 2 Cor. 6.14 27. Fifthly Whereas he accuseth me for saying The Light within is not sufficient without somewhat else he knowing in his Conscience as well as his Associates that by that something else I understand not Humane Learning nor the Letter of the Scripture nor outward Preaching but the Man Christ Jesus without us in whom all fulness of Grace Truth Light and Life dwelleth and his Death and Sufferings Resurrection Ascension and Mediation all which are something else than the measure of Grace and Light in us In this Accusation H.D. falleth in with J. Delavall and my Answer to the one will serve sufficiently to the other And though H.D. seemeth to assent and declare That the Grace of God which is sufficient is the Effect of the Death and Sufferings of Christ Jesus yet either like a gross Hypocrite or most ignorant and inconsiderate Person not to use Sam. Jening's Phrase of Ignorant Nonsensical Puppey he doth most palpably contradict his present Assertion for if the Grace of God within us be the Effect of Christ's Death and Sufferings then we are not saved only by the Grace within but by the Death and Sufferings Resurrection and Mediation of Christ without us seeing the Cause of a Cause is the Cause of the thing caused or effect Beside the Death and Sufferings of Christ and his most perfect Obedience unto Death and shedding of his most precious Blood without us was not only necessary to procure the inward Grace of God to us but also to make a Propitiation for our sins and reconcile us unto God and so was needful to our Salvation as the great Atonement and Sacrifice of Expiation as well as the procuring Cause of his Grace in us But since he chargeth me with an Errour for holding That the Grace or Light within is not sufficient without something else then seeing nothing can be an Errour but because it is opposite to some Truth that which it is opposite to is That the Light within is sufficient without any or every thing else and if so then he excludes wholly the Man Christ Jesus from having any part in our Salvation Sixthly As to the Testimonies he citeth out of Rob. Barclay's Apology they are of the same nature with what J. Delavall hath formerly cited in his Papers to which I have answered and refer to the same in print where I show that R. B. no where saith in all his Apology That the Light or Grace within is sufficient to Salvation without the Man Christ Jesus without us and what he did and suffered for us on Earth and his present Mediation and Intercession for us in Heaven All that can be gathered from R. B's words in any of his Books is first That the express distinct outward and historical Knowledge and Faith of Christ is not necessary to Salvation where it is not preached nor revealed and I say the same Secondly That men may be saved and many have been saved who have not heard Christ outwardly preached to them nor never heard or read the outward Testimony of the Scriptures concerning him Thirdly That a good Work of God may be begun in men that is of a tendency to Salvation and is Salvation begun in a general sence and respect without all Knowledge and Faith of Christs Death and Sufferings which I also grant and have all along granted and therefore neither H. Derborough J. Delavall nor any other have proved me and I believe never can prove me to contradict either Rob. Barclay's Books or any of my own Books and it is great deceit in this H. D. only in general to cite my Book of Universal Grace without mentioning the words of my Book And it is worth noticing that he exactly followeth J. Delavall not bringing one place of Scripture wherewithal to prove me in an Errour but only some Citations out of R. B. perverted and falsly applied by him And it is another piece either of gross Hypocrisie and Deceit or bold and impudent Rashness in him to say That R. Barclay doth not say the Express Knowledge of Christ who as Man died for the sins of the World for though he doth not say it in one place yet he hath it in another as pag. 86. of his Latine Apology truly thus Englished The History is profitable and comfortable joyned with the Mystery but not without it but the Mystery is and can profit without the explicit or express knowledge of the History and I still affirm the same Seventhly He grosly and most impudently belyeth me in his Paper That in my printed
