The plea of the innocent, against the false judgment of the guilty : being a vindication of George Keith, and his friends, who are joined with him in this present testimony, from the false judgment, calumnies, false informations and defamations of Samuel Jenings, John Simcock, Thomas Lloyd, an others, joyned with them, being in number twenty eight : directed, by way of epistle, to faithful friends of truth, in Pensilvania, East and West-Jersey, and else-where, as occasion requireth.

pretended Friend of G. K. and who hath greatly owned in words G. K's Doctrine and came to that called our separate Meeting at least one first day as joyning with us and yet now hath joyned with these false Judges against us and yet but a few days before he told G. K. That he believed e're long they would thrust him out from among them for it lay on him to preach among them what that something else was that was necessary to their Salvation besides the Light to wit the Man Christ Jesus without us Let none be offended that we name these mens Names for seeing they have named G. K. in their Paper containing false Judgment and put their Names to it we hope none can justly blame G. K. or us that love him to name their names to things we can prove sufficiently against them besides some of them have complain'd that in our Book Some Causes of Separation we named not Names and therefore seeing it is desired we have named some and it were an easie matter to give such a Character of every one of them that have signed that Paper of false Judgment as may render them unqualified men to give Judgment in such a weighty case not only for the Ignorance of most of them as well as their Prejudice but for the great suspicion that some of them lie under of a scandalous Life as Drunkenness Uncleanness c. and as for W. Yardly and N. Walne as we can prove them both very ignorant men so they are not of a very good Fame among their Neighbors and for that distaste some stay from Meetings as we are informed And one George Gray from Barbadoes almost wholly a stranger to these matters of difference taking all no trust from them except what hath lately happened in some late Meetings hath showed himself too foolish and rash as well as ignorant And the like may be said of H. Willis of Long-Island wholly a stranger to our Differences but what he had by report and who lately before divers Witnesses at the House of W. Bradford openly declar'd himself an Unbeliever as concerning Christs coming without us to judge the quick and the dead which is a great Article of the Christian Faith 4thly As concerning their blaming G. K. for objecting against their Discipline and his preparing a Draught which he presented them G. K. gave no just cause to be offended at this hundreds here-a-way of the more sincere sort of Friends do object as well as G. K. against the too-great laxness of Discipline amongst us and that there is but little inspection into the good Lives and Manners of them that profess Truth among us far less into their Faith so that men may almost believe any thing and yet be owned if they come to Meetings and use plain Language and plain Habit and be not grosly scandalous And as to his Draught that he prepared and presented to the Yearly Meeting 1690. he was very moderate in it and did not press it on them and he is so far from being ashamed of it that he has now sent it to Friends in Old England to consider of 5thly Their blaming G. K. for his earnest desiring that they and we might agree to draw up some Principles and Doctrines of Faith in the most necessary things to qualifie our Church-Members and distinguish Believers from Unbelievers has no just ground but is rather worthy of commendation for hundreds see the necessity of such o thing among us especially here-a-way And for his saying That he knew none given forth by the body of Friends it is true he hath so said and if they know any entire Confession or Declaration of Faith in all necessary things and sufficient to end the present Differences let them produce it we know that particular accounts of Principles and Doctrines have been given forth by divers particular Friends as G. F. G. W. E. B. J. C. and divers others but not by the Body of Friends or any yearly Meeting so far as we know except the Rhode-Island Sheet which they do so much oppose For their offering to give a Confession in scripture-Scripture-words when they have given us to know they have a sence contrary to Scripture no more can satisfie us than when Papists Socinians Muggletonians c. say they will give us a Confession of their Faith in scripture-Scripture-words They have greatly blamed G. K. for imposing unscriptural words and terms on them and yet when asked what these terms are they never did or can show unless that some of them have said to preach faith in Christ within and without us is unscriptural And what else can it be but gross Unbelief and Pagauism to find fault so much with preaching Faith in Christ without us and his being in Heaven in the same Body that suffered being necessary to our Salvation for tho' the words without us or the same Body be not express Scripture-words yet seeing they are according to the true sence of Scripture who can blame G. K. or any other to preach them viz. That Faith in Christ as he dyed for us and rose again is necessary to our Salvation and that Christ's Body that was crucified and buried rose again and is gone into Heaven Surely none but Infidels and Ranters but no sincere Christians will deny these things and yet all the Imposition they can alledge on G. K. is That he did preach Faith in the Man Christ without them as well as Faith in Christ the Light in them and that Christ hath the true Body of Man in Heaven and in that Body he will come and appear without us to judge the quick and the dead And the 27. 4th Mo. at Frankford Mo. Meeting in discourse without door before many Friends T. Lloyd blamed G. K. for imposing unscriptural words on them G. K. pressed him again and again to show in any one particular but he would not give one instance then G. K. desired him to answer one Question viz. Whether to believe that Christ died for our Sins and rose again was necessary to our Salvation but T. L. waved it saying I will prove out of thy Books thou wast not of this Faith some time ago which G. K. denyed well knowing what is in his own Books And it may be noted that T. Lloyd S. Jenings J. Delavall and S. Richardson came to the said Meeting to countenance the reading of their Paper of false Judgment against G. K. and his Friends having put it into the Hands of W. Preston to read who offering to read it the far greatest part of the Meeting forbad the reading of it declaring That nothing ought to be read in their Meeting without the general Consent of the Meeting but this unruly and disorderly man who hath otherwise showed his Prejudice against G. K. and particularly that when G. K. was declaring at another Meeting W. P. interrupted him and called him Lyar when yet it was proved that he was the Lyar himself at that very
