A56313	A modest account from Pensylvania of the principal differences in point of doctrine, between George Keith, and those of the people called Quakers, from whom he separated : shewing his great declension, and inconsistency with himself therein : recommended to the serious consideration of those who are turned aside, aud [sic] joyned in his schism.	Pusey, Caleb, 1650?-1727.	1696 (1696)	Wing P4248; ESTC R40087	25,043	138

so as to Collect or Gather by Just and True Consequences other things that lie out of the view of their weaker Brethren they ought not to obtrude them upon any to be received as Principles of Faith but in that case to have Faith to themselves and receive them as peculiar Discoveries or Revelations of the Spirit to them and such others as God hath so enlighten'd That which by the Apostle Paul is called The Word of Wisdom to wit Such a peculiar Degree of Wisdom or Understanding in the Depth of the Scriptures which others who yet are true Christians did not reach unto And concerning such a peculiar Gift of Divine Wisdom he said We speak Wisdom among the Perfect This certainly could be no common Article of Faith eIse he should have preached it unto all And this by the same Apostle is called The Knowledge of Mysteries as distinguished from the common Faith and Knowledge of the whole Church Now if this were but receiv'd among those called Christians That nothing should be required by one sort from another as an Article of Faith or Doctrine or Principle of the Christian Religion in common to be believed but what is expresly delivered in the Scripture in plain express Scripture-Terms of how great an Advantage might it be to bring a true Reconcilement among them and beget true Christian Unity Peace Love and Concord And as for the Consequential part of peculiar Doctrines whether True or False to leave every one a Freedom or Latitude without Imposing the Affirmative or Negative as any Bond or Tye of Christian Fellowship For if such Consequential be false it 's more Unreasonable to impose it and therefore in Observe this is Charity which G. K. now wants for us that Case a Dissenter should have his Liberty to differ in Judgment without any Breach of Brotherly Unity and Society And if it be true yet not being Opened or Revealed to another it cannot be in Justice pressed upon him where God has not given him the true Freedom and Clearness of Mind to receive it And to do otherwise is to transgress that Golden Rule delivered by Paul viz. To walk by the same Rule according to what we have attained And if any be otherwise minded saith he God will reveal it unto him Or if this Advice could find place it would bring the Differences among those called Christians in point of Judgment to a very small and narrow compass and they would derstand one another far better than now they do Thus far G. Keith in his said Book Now pray Friends consider of it for if this advice either had or yet could find place with you that are gone after G. K. or could it have found place with G. K. himself when so often desired it might it is well known the difference had never come to this furious Printing and Separation as it did But if you say G. K. is of another Mind now we do not Question that in the least but then surely the more insincere Man he still to pretend to be of the same Mind for in his Answer to the New England Priests he speaking of the Fall of Adam c. saith thus What the Scripture saith of it is readily believed and granted and it is safest saith he in this and all other Matters of Faith to keep to Scripture VVords especially in all Cases and Matters that are in Controversie for the Scripture is a Rich Treasure or Storehouse sufficient to afford us Words whereby to express our Faith in all Matters of Christian Doctrine and saith he it is not safe to leave the Scripture Words c. Nay in his last great Book so much talkt of before it came out for a profound piece of Divinity though as little heeded by many since they see what it is I say in that Book he hath these Words viz. But against the Doctrine of the Resurrection Truth advanced page 118. here delivered and opened by plain evidence of Holy Scripture VVords and Terms to which it is only safe in this and in all other matters of Faith to keep close c. Thus far again G. K. Again Now whereas you say we have given you to understand VVe have a sense contrary to Scripture VVords it is surely more likely contrary to your Meanings upon Scripture VVords But what uncharitableness is this when we offer to express our Faith in Scripture Words for you to say we have another sense then what we speak Now I ask how do you know that did we either at any time make or offer to make any Confession but in Scripture Words expresly For though here and there a particular Man may have dropt an unadvised Expression contrary to the Principles of the Church they belong to both among us you and others yet certainly in this Case I verily believe the fault hath been chiefly in you for perverting our VVords Now whereas you alledge The Papists say they keep to Scripture Words when they say from Christ's Words This is my Body c. that the very Bread they eat in the Sacrament is the very Body of Christ that was crucified on the Cross c. Now I say the Papists erring here is not by keeping but adding to Scripture Words because the Scripture saith no such things only This is my Body c. Now in what sense Christ called the Bread of the Passover his Body in that sense 't was his Body even as in what sence he called himself a Door and a Vine in that sence he is a Door and a Vine and so we may conclude without any danger of perverting the Text or running into Error about that or such like Texts of Scripture But if some of you think yet That it is not safe enough to express our Faith in the express words of Scripture and should offer any Reasons for it let them be offered to G. K. and see how you can reconcile your Reasons with the Method he hath laid down as the only Means to reconcile differences as abovesaid and if you are one with G. K's Method then I say it being according to him not only safest but the only safe way to reconcile differences in Religion to keep to express Scripture Then surely all other ways are unsafe and why should not this only safe way be accepted of us when we so often offered to take that way to express our Christian Belief by And seeing according to G. K. there is no other Truth advanced page 17. safe way to express our Faith but in express Scripture VVords Let me therefore a little Query with you about it First Where are the express Words of Scripture that say The same Body for Matter and Substance shall rise Secondly Where are the express Scripture Road Island ●●eet page 7. Words that say None but those that have the Faith of Christ crucified and raised again can love Enemies c. according to G. K's Doctrine G. K. himself saith That many
