A47142	George Keith's explications of divers passages contained in his former books as also his free and open retractations of sundry other passages contained in the same, which may at present suffice for a reply to the late, as well as former books of Tho. Elwood, and John Penington, published against me, in respect of the most material things.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1697 (1697)	Wing K163; ESTC R18950	49,736	50

holy_a ghost_n by_o union_n to_o this_o some_o of_o my_o late_a adversary_n have_v object_v a_o quotation_n i_o make_v in_o some_o of_o my_o former_a book_n out_o of_o plato_n and_o plotimus_n who_o

answer_v that_o plato_n who_o live_v some_o hundred_o of_o year_n before_o christ_n incarnation_n have_v no_o faith_n in_o christ_n so_o much_o as_o implicit_a be_v more_o than_o they_o can_v prove_v for_o there_o be_v divers_a say_n in_o his_o book_n that_o make_v it_o probable_a he_o have_v there_o be_v less_o ground_n to_o think_v that_o plotimus_n who_o live_v two_o hundred_o year_n and_o more_o after_o christ_n and_o be_v contemporary_a with_o origen_n have_v faith_n in_o christ_n see_v he_o write_v against_o the_o christian_n therefore_o what_o thing_n he_o say_v of_o union_n with_o god_n and_o the_o divine_a contact_n and_o other_o high_a expression_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n may_v possible_o be_v not_o so_o much_o from_o his_o own_o experience_n as_o from_o his_o master_n plato_n write_n or_o allow_v he_o may_v have_v have_v some_o true_a experience_n of_o a_o divine_a contact_n and_o union_n in_o some_o transient_a way_n like_o a_o glance_n or_o flash_n of_o
