A46824	The state of the case, briefly but impartially given betwixt the people called Quakers, Pensilvania, &c. in America, who remain in unity, and George Keith, with some few seduced by him into a separation from them as also a just vindication of my self from the reproaches and abuses of those backsliders / by Samuel Jennings.	Jennings, Samuel, d. 1708.	1694 (1694)	Wing J670; ESTC R3996	38,369	87

of a Plea Wherein he had like a most disingenious Adversary upon groundless reports laboured to reproach several of them and dispersed the same towards London and other parts some Weeks e're the Persons against whom they were Printed had a sight of the same And yet George Keith would possess his hearers and others by his Pamphlets that he had no Gospel Order from the Meeting when the whole procedure is according to the order of Truth established among Friends And he himself cannot but be Conscious to himself herein that neither Gospel nor Order regulates him in Conference with us nor in his giving forth his Papers against us Signed on the behalf and by Order of our Meeting of Ministring Friends held in Burlington the 6th of the 7th Month. 1692. Sam. Jennings POSTSCRIPT AND After George Keith and his Adherents by his said Plea appealed to God the righteous Judge of all Men and next to all faithful Friends and Brethren here in America and in Old England Scotland and Ireland or elsewhere to Judge between them and us Yet in a short time afterwards they got another Paper Printed which they stiled An Appeal from the 28 Judges to the Spirit of True Judgment in all faithful Friends called Quakers that meet at this Yearly Meeting at Burlington the 7th Month 1692. But instead of giving us any friendly Notice of this Appeal they spread and set the same upon Posts about this Town of Philadelphia and else where Nine days at least before the said Yearly Meeting And when the Meeting time came G. K. and his Company met apart in the Court-house from whence he sent to Friends a Paper in the nature of a Challenge requiring a hearing of his said last mentioned Appeal which Challenge was Introduced by one of his followers who climbing up in our Meeting house Window tho the door was open stood in the said Window with his Hat on and read part of it while our ancient Friend Tho Jauney was at Prayer And the publick Friends from the Mornings Meeting had sent to G. K. by Word and Writing That in Case he had any thing to propose to that Yearly Meeting either as a Friend or Opposer he should have a suitable hearing and Answer provided he would stay till the day appointed for business which was the last day of the Meeting Friends not being willing to invert the good Orde● of Truth in Imploying those days for business which were Established for Worship ● Nevertheless G. K. slighting Friends Proposals calling them Evasions and Jesuitical Tricks did give publick Notice for the People to meet him at our Meeting-house after Meeting was over the next day being the third day of the Week At which time they accordingly met whereupon some Friends were sent by the Ministring Friends to acquaint G. K. and the People then met with him how that Friends were ready and willing to give him the Opportunity of a hearing next day following which was the day appointed for business according to Friends former proposals in that behalf But instead of admitting those so sent to deliver their Message he and divers of his Followers cried out against them saying They had nothing to do there refusing to hear them and insinuating to the Auditory that the said Friends came to disturb their Meeting and so they immediately withdrew to the Court-house And there the said G. K. and the rest concerned in the said Appeal having set up those who made little or no Profession of Truth for their Judges whom they called Impartial Men by reason of their not signing theretofore either with or against the said Appealors though joined with them in Worship at their said separate Meeting and so drew up a sort of Judgment against Friends and signed it that very Night which is also put in Print as from their Yearly Meeting signed by Robert Turner Griffith Jones and others And though the same was compleated according to the Mind and Direction of our Opposer G. K. yet it was so far from allaying his rage and violence against Friends that he still persisted in his abusive Carriage calling Friends in our Religious Meetings Hypocrites Snakes Vipers Blood-thirsty Hounds Impudent Rascals and such like bidding them cut him in Collops fry him and eat him and saying His Back bad long itched to be whipt And at the same Juncture he said That he was like our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ comparing himself to a Dove a Lamb while he thus appeared in a great Transport o● Heat and Passion It would be tedious to trace him in one half o● his Raileries invective Preachings and loathsome Printings against us since this disorderly Yearly Meeting of his and Separation from us his Auditony being generally made up as to the bulk thereof out of the disaffected the Apostates and the more Prophane of all Perswasions among us whom he gratified with telling them of a Preaching Quaker in Mary land who got another Man's Wife with Child which they meaning Friends could not discern by the Light within and with another being carried drunk out of a Tap-house with such unseemly passages for a Man of his Rank and Pretences And tho' we published not a Line in Print to detect him justly of his notorious Falshoods against us hoping th● have somewhat thereby kept this unhappy difference from being made more publick by us as much as in us lay and as long a● we could yet this uneasie and farious Man upon our Return as usually to one Meeting on the First Days during the severity of the Winter at our Meeting-house on th● Front of Delaware He sets on afresh not only to disquiet Friends here but very rudely and openly opposed our publick and serviceable Travailing Friend Tho. Everndon and Richard Hoskins who bearing their Testimonies in the dread of the Lord and in Humility of Spirit among us he called out upon them several times Hypocrites Hypocrites and the former of them tho' two days before he said he had good Unity with him he call'd him then before many Hundreds The greatest Hypocrite that ever stood upon two Legs And while for some Weeks we Assembled together in some of the last Meetings George Keith left Friends Gallery and betook himself to the Stairs near one of the Doors on the opposite side and being soon weary of that Seat as appearing there too much like what he was viz. a Common Opposer his Followers on a sudden set up on a Seventh Day a new Gallery for him over against the Publick Friends which two of the Trustees hearing of went that Evening in a peaceable manner calling to them Robert Turner who was a Trustee also to remove the same being set up there as a Seat of Contention and without the least Consent of the Meeting And upon their going in Robert Turner with more heat than true Zeal and as he said afterwards with a dissatisfaction to Galleries striking only a transient stroke at the new one he fell severely upon
