A39305	A further discovery of that spirit of contention & division which hath appeared of late in George Keith, &c. being a reply to two late printed pieces of his, the one entituled A loving epistle, &c. the other, A seasonable information, &c. : wherein his cavils are answered, his falshood is laid open, and the guilt and blame of the breach and separation in America, and the reproach he hath brought upon truth and Friends by his late printed books, are fixed faster on him / written by way of epistle ... by Thomas Ellwood.	Ellwood, Thomas, 1639-1713.	1694 (1694)	Wing E623; ESTC R224514	71,867	130

for_o his_o adjourn_v meet_v who_o in_o their_o judgement_n as_o he_o have_v give_v it_o do_v not_o own_o to_o use_v his_o own_o word_n i_o shall_v else_o have_v say_v declare_v the_o word_n speak_v

that_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o light_n be_v sufficient_a without_o something_o else_o where_o be_v the_o great_a forgery_n here_o if_o there_o be_v any_o it_o will_v lie_v at_o his_o door_n for_o report_v i_o to_o have_v allege_v that_o t._n fitzwater_n sufficient_o prove_v his_o charge_n etc._n etc._n whereas_o my_o word_n be_v it_o seem_v t._n f._n sufficient_o prove_v the_o word_n he_o charge_v g._n k._n with_o speak_v and_o so_o i_o think_v it_o will_v seem_v to_o any_o one_o that_o consider_v the_o word_n charge_v and_o the_o word_n prove_v the_o word_n charge_v be_v that_o he_o deny_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o light_n the_o word_n prove_v be_v that_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o light_n be_v sufficient_a without_o something_o else_o and_o these_o last_o word_n he_o say_v be_v quite_o another_o thing_n than_o the_o former_a so_o that_o according_a to_o he_o not_o sufficient_a without_o something_o else_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n than_o not_o sufficient_a but_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o he_o to_o make_v that_o sufficient_o out_o nor_o do_v the_o assert_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o light_n exclude_v as_o he_o will_v

the_o light_n mention_v indefinite_o not_o a_o word_n of_o within_o and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o fair_o nor_o like_o a_o disputant_n to_o thrust_v it_o in_o afterward_o his_o charge_v i_o with_o

a_o priest_n that_o have_v in_o print_n affirm_v that_o some_o quaker_n slight_v the_o merit_n and_o necessity_n of_o christ_n death_n ascribe_v salvation_n to_o the_o follow_v the_o light_n within_o i_o reject_v his_o charge_n and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o quaker_n deny_v it_o put_v he_o to_o name_v those_o quaker_n and_o solemn_o declare_v i_o know_v no_o such_o then_o add_v nor_o do_v the_o quaker_n ascribe_v salvation_n to_o the_o follow_v the_o light_n within_o but_o they_o ascribe_v salvation_n to_o christ_n jesus_n to_o who_o the_o light_n within_o do_v lead_v those_o that_o true_o follow_v it_o and_o in_o p._n 240._o i_o say_v if_o any_o one_o expect_v remission_n of_o sin_n by_o any_o other_o way_n than_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n he_o render_v the_o death_n of_o

so_o p._n 5._o and_o so_o p._n 7._o nay_o he_o there_o suggest_v as_o if_o that_o paper_n call_v a_o true_a account_n of_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o yearly_o meet_v be_v not_o give_v forth_o by_o the_o yearly_o meet_v for_o speak_v of_o it_o he_o say_v p._n 4._o the_o paper_n say_v to_o be_v give_v out_o by_o the_o yearly_o meet_v though_o after_o he_o have_v hear_v it_o read_v it_o be_v deliver_v to_o he_o in_o the_o yearly_o meet_v in_o the_o name_n and_o as_o the_o act_n of_o the_o yearly_o meet_v but_o now_o in_o his_o last_o book_n which_o he_o call_v a_o seasonable_a information_n etc._n etc._n he_o say_v downright_a p._n 28._o as_o for_o that_o call_v the_o yearly_o meeting_n judgement_n i_o own_v it_o not_o to_o be_v such_o and_o of_o the_o meet_v its_o self_n

this_o man_n and_o the_o more_o exact_o you_o weigh_v and_o consider_v his_o word_n and_o action_n the_o more_o plain_o you_o will_v see_v his_o shift_a shuffle_n and_o double-dealing_a and_o that_o

at_o least_o as_o have_v come_v to_o my_o notice_n when_o friend_n have_v have_v to_o do_v with_o he_o he_o regard_v neither_o friend_n nor_o friend_n nor_o meeting_n of_o friend_n if_o they_o do_v not_o answer_v his_o humour_n and_o friend_n it_o be_v observable_a and_o worth_a your_o take_a notice_n of_o that_o in_o the_o idle_a challenge_n he_o make_v in_o the_o postscript_n to_o his_o epistle_n to_o i_o and_o those_o friend_n that_o approve_v my_o book_n for_o a_o public_a meeting_n between_o he_o and_o we_o he_o provide_v by_o a_o particular_a caution_n that_o all_o sober_a and_o
