Whitehead and other of your Teachers have Published some late Creeds seemingly Orthodox and repugnant to the errors above Quoted in divers particulars Yet considering what he hath said in his Counterfeit Convert p. 72. Printed 1694. I may see cause otherwise to word the matter and yet our intention be the same and that Joseph Wyeth in his Primitive Christianity p. 6. Printed 1698. hath said in behalf of the Quakers our Principles are now no other than what they were when we were first a People It is left to your serious Consideration whether the Quotations here given are consistent with those New Creeds and whether Joseph Wyeth's so saying is not a full confirmation that your Teachers are not in the least changed from their former vile and monstrous Principles Note As above said most of these Quotations none of which are Retracted by the Quakers are Attested with near 200. more of the same Nature in G. K 's Third and Fourth Naratives By Eight Ministers of the Church of England viz. Dr. Isham Rector of St. Botolph Bishops-gate Dr. Wincop Rector of St. Mary Abb-Church Dr. Bedford Rector of St. George Botolph-lane Mr. Altham M. A. Rect. of St. Andrew Undershaft Mr. Bradford M. A. Rector of St. Mary le Bow Mr. Whitfield M. A. Rect. of St. Martins Ludgate Mr. Butler M. A. Rect. of St. Mary Aldermanbury Mr. Adams M. A. Rect. of S. Alban Woodstreet Note That the Quotations above given do exactly agree with the Books out of which they are taken as cited in the Margin I George Keith do affirm and offer to prove before any impartial Auditory to the
Quakers Faces if they will dare to deny them and if they will dare to own them I offer to prove them monstrous Heretical and Antichristian and so far as they reflect on the Persons of their opposers most uncharitable POSTCRIPT From the above-cited Quotations it is plainly evident that the Quakers Belief in these Ten Articles is as followeth 1. COncerning their Infallibility They affirm that they are Infallible that God hath given to them his Attribute to know Men's Hearts and that they are equal with God 2. Concerning the Holy Scriptures They say that the Scriptures are Humane and that no command in them is in itself obliging that what they speak is of greater Authority than the Holy Scriptures that the Gospels of St. Matthew Mark Luke and John are Dust and the Serpent's Meat that is the Devil's Meat 3. Concerning the Holy Trinity They damn the Holy Trinity to the Pit of Hell and call it Conjuration affirming the Three Persons of God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Ghost are Three Nothings 4. Concerning Christ and his Blood They utterly deny that Jesus Christ who suffer'd under Pontius Pilate was properly the Son of God or that we are to be sav'd by his Merits but affirm that the Light which every Man brings with him into the World is sufficient for every Man's Salvation without any thing else and that the Blood of Christ is no more than the Blood of any Saint 5. Concerning Baptism and the Lord's Supper They affirm that Baptism and the Lord's Supper are no more Duties to Christians than Circumcision is which they renounce as they say by the same Spirit by which St. Paul renounced Circumcision They call Infant Baptism the Doctrin of Devils and the Lord's Supper the Table of Devils 6. Concerning the Resurrection They deny the Resurrection of the Body after Death calling that Article of our Faith as absurd as the Doctrin of Transubstantiation is 7. Concerning Christ's coming to Judgment They deny the Article of Christ's coming to Judgment at the end of the World saying that there will be no other coming of Christ than what has been already or that be within Men. 8. They deny any other Heaven or Hell than what is within Men calling all other Mahometism 9. They allow doing servile Work as opening Shop on the Lord's Day to sell Goods and Taylers to mend Clothes on that Day and deny the Ten Commandments are a Rule to Christians and especially the Eighth Commandment for a Quaker said he had a Command immediatly from Heaven to take away the Priest's Hour-glass which being complain'd of G. Fox makes this answer Great Mist p. 77. viz And for any being moved of the Lord to take away your Hour-glass from you by the eternal Power it is owned Note by the same pretence they may take away the Church Plate or any thing else for as E. Burrough their Prophet saith Our HEIRSHIP is to possess the uttermost part of the Earth in a Declaration of the Quakers signed by E. Burrough and 15 more p. 9. which is the same Principle with John of Leiden and other German Enthusiasts that all right to any worldly Substance is founded on Grace and that none had a right to any thing but the Saints 10. For these Reasons they call all Ministers of Jesus Christ and Preachers of his Gospel always excepting themselves by most unchristian and uncharitable Names The Quakers are not wronged in any one Citation and it is left to the Judgment of all serious Christians whether these are not the Doctrines which are contain'd in them All good Christians are desired to have this Sheet in their Houses and as they have opportunity to shew the poor deluded Quakers their Errors which 't is hoped many of them do not know and will reonunce assoon as they do ☞ Note Reader 1st That the Quakers have printed a most fallacious answer to this Sheet to which they give this Title The Christianity of the People called Quakers asserted c. containing sundry Quotations out of my former Books writ by me when I was too much leavened with the Errors of Quakerism though I thank God I never had the worst of their Errors nor ever denied any of the Fundamentals of Christianity as they have done whereof this Sheet is a Suffitient proof all which I have retracted in Print several Years ago and therefore they are most unfair and unjust either to charge me with them or make what I then writ te be their defence 2d That they have not in all their Printed Sheet discovored one unfair Quotation in that called a Serious Call only blamed two or three Marginals wrongly paged that are in this Sheet Corrected LONDON Printed for W.
