And also they have judged a whole Meeting without ever admonishing of them If this be not Partiality Injustice and Unrighteous Judgment tell us what is And clear your selves of these things if you can Signed by us in the behalf of the rest of our Friends by order of our Meeting the 18th of the Fifth Month 1692. Thomas Budd Richard Hilliard John Hart Thomas Paschall William Bradford James Cooper Elizabeth Keith An APPEAL from the Twenty Eight Judges to the Spirit of Truth and True Judgment in all faithful Friends called Quakers that meet at this Yearly Meeting at Burlington the Seventh Month 1692. WHereas Twenty eight Persons called Friends of the Ministry have publisht a Paper of false Judgment against George Keith and the rest of his Friends and Brethren without any Hearing or Tryal We in behalf of the rest do make this our Serious and Solemn Appeal to the Spirit of Truth and true Judgment in you all that by the help and guidance of the same ye may enquire and search into the matter requesting and beseeching you to do Justice in these things for the Vindication of the Truth and Honour of Christ the Peace of your Consciences and the Credit and Repute of our Holy Profession and making up the Breach that is among us if possible and answering the expectation of our faithful Brethren in England and other places of the World who will be greatly concern'd with us that Justice and true Judgment may take place impartially and without respect of Persons And Friends Think it not strange that we appeal to you universally that by the Spirit of Truth ye may give true Judgment in these Matters concerning Us and these Twenty eight Persons and others of the Ministry who are joyned with them therein for tho' upon a pretence of their being Ministers they claim a Superiority over you the Lord's Heritage and People as if ye were not capable nor qualified to judge them but that they have Authority to judge you and on this pretended Authority too like the Roman Hierarchy they have sent their Paper of Judgment against us to you tho' they were no Yearly Meeting nor any true Representative of the Body of Friends in these three Provinces but a Party or Faction of prejudiced Men against the Truth and us the defamed Witnesses of it many of whom we can prove guilty of great Ignorance and Error in Doctrine as well as some of them are guilty of evil and scandalous Practice repugnant to our Holy Profession and some that have been too busie to comply with their usurped Authority over you have read the said Judgment in divers Monthly Quarterly and other Meetings without the Consent of the said Meetings or so much as asking it All which we appeal to you Whether it be not a manifest Usurpation over you and seeking to bring you into Bondage And when we have at several Meetings requested the Friends of the said Meetings to enquire and examine the Matter of Difference between these Twenty eight Men and us some of the said Twenty eight have still refused to suffer the thing to come to any further Examination or Judgment pretending None have power to judge in these Matters but Friends of the Ministry whereof these Twenty eight are the far greatest part in these Three Provinces and most of the rest of the Preachers are joyned with them to uphold and defend them in their Tyrannical Usurpation over your Consciences as if ye were only to see with their Eyes and hear with their Ears and not with your own and that ye were to take all things without all due Examination and Tryal by an implicit Faith Papist-like from them But if there remain that Nobility in you and Sence of your Christian Liberty and Freedom wherewithal Christ hath made you free as we hope there doth ye will not suffer your selves to be so imposed upon nor to be thus Ass-rid by them as to take things by a bare implicit Faith from them but every one of you to see with your one Spiritual Eyes and hear with your Spiritual Ears of God's opening and to bring these weighty Things of Difference to the true Touch-stone the Spirit of Truth and true Judgment in your selves which ye have as well as they and which many of you are better taught by and acquainted with than they even as formerly it was that many of the People say beyond the Priests and Teachers in the days of the Prophets and of Christ in the Flesh and the Apostles and also of late many Thousands of the People have seen beyond the Priest and Teachers and have been made able by the Spirit of Truth to judge them for their great Ignorance and Error And that ye may have the better opportunity to examine these matters and impartially and throughly to search into them and judge of them we have procured to be Printed their Three Papers of Judgment viz. The first given forth by their Monthly Meeting at Philadelphia the 26th of the Third Month 1692 wherein they clear Tho. Fitzwater and condemn G. K. for saying The Light is not sufficient without something else Which something else Thomas Lloyd as the Mouth of the said Monthly Meeting acknowledged They knew G. K. held to be the Man Christ Jesus and what he did and suffered for us on Earth and what he now doth for us in Heaven The Second Judgment is given forth by them called Friends of the Ministry concerning W. Stockdale signed by Sam. Jenings as Clerk of the said Meeting the 4th of the Fourth Month 1692. The Third signed by Twenty eight of them of the Ministry against G. K. and his Friends c. Which said Judgments we desire you to compare with our Printed Answer called The Plea of the Innocent c. and another called An Expostulation with Tho. Lloyd Sam. Jenings c. and another by way of Epistle in Answer to their Three false Judgments And we earnestly request and desire of you to procure of these Twenty eight Men that we may have a Publick Hearing with these Men before you all at a Place and Time mutually appointed by them and us before the People be gone from the Yearly Meeting and that an orderly Method be agreed upon betwixt them and us to prevent all Confusion and especially that none but one speak at once and that every one that speaketh who is concerned may have full liberty without interruption in order to which we are most willing that one or two Impartial and Judicious Men may be chosen by both them and us to Preside and have full Power to command and enjoyn Silence to any of them or us as they shall see occasion and whoever of them or us yieldeth not Obedience to the said Command shall be held and declared unworthy and uncapable of further speaking at the said Publick Conference And also we demand that Justice of these Twenty eight Men that they will give us the said Publick Hearing and
