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

often_o repeat_v i_o know_v not_o well_o what_o to_o make_v of_o it_o i_o know_v he_o understand_v word_n well_o enough_o when_o he_o be_v cool_a which_o make_v i_o question_v whether_o his_o heat_n

first_o how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o yearly_o meet_v about_o six_o month_n before_o the_o monthly_a meeting_n as_o he_o call_v it_o give_v any_o judgement_n at_o all_o contradict_v the_o

ipse_fw-la tixit_fw-la he_o have_v affirm_v it_o and_o they_o that_o will_v believe_v it_o may_v but_o the_o best_a on_o it_o be_v they_o that_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o upon_o his_o bare_a word_n

to_o be_v any_o offence_n against_o god_n or_o christ_n but_o to_o sound_v and_o tender_a friend_n but_o if_o this_o be_v so_o great_a a_o offence_n in_o the_o yearly_o meet_v what_o will_v he_o say_v 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

the_o yearly_o meet_v do_v and_o yet_o he_o call_v they_o a_o sound_a judgement_n and_o give_v sincere_o but_o where_o be_v the_o soundness_n of_o his_o judgement_n and_o his_o sincerity_n the_o mean_a while_n his_o six_o charge_n against_o i_o be_v thus_o word_v he_o false_o and_o most_o fictitious_o allege_v that_o tho._n fitzwater_n sufficient_o prove_v his_o charge_n against_o i_o for_o

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

though_o g._n k._n to_o compass_v his_o design_n do_v cunning_o slide_v in_o the_o word_n within_o yet_o he_o know_v it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o word_n charge_v nor_o in_o the_o word_n prove_v the_o

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 exclude_v the_o man_n christ_n without_o we_o be_v a_o abuse_n and_o his_o tell_v i_o of_o jeffery_n bullock_n a_o idle_a bugbear_n he_o have_v clear_v i_o himself_o beyond_o what_o he_o be_v able_a to_o asperse_v i_o with_o by_o cite_v those_o passage_n out_o of_o a_o former_a book_n of_o i_o call_v the_o foundation_n of_o tithe_n shake_v p._n 238._o where_o in_o answer_n to_o my_o opponent_n 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
