A54079	An apostate exposed, or, George Keith contradicting himself and his brother Bradford wherein their testimony to the Christian faith of the people called Quakers, is opposed to G.K.'s late pamphlet, stiled, Gross error and hypocrisie detected / by John Pennington.

he hath defended them to be even a Traducer a Defamer yea a Judas This shaking the Foundation upon which G. K's whole superstructure is built in his late envious piece stiled Gross Error c. as is Manifest from so much of the Preface as I have cited I shall leave G. K. to reconcile himself to himself and his Friends and refer the Reader for answer to the particular charges there exhibited to that Book of T. E's called Truth Defended wherein I doubt not but the judicious and impartial will receive Satisfaction in finding most of the Citations Inferences and Cavils brought in this last of G. K's already fully cleared and answered there POSTSCRIPT SInce the above was committed to the Press another Book of G. K's is come to my Hands called A Serious Appeal c. in Answer to Cotton Mather of New-England whom in the Title-Page he represents as greatly possessed with a Spirit of Perversion Errors and Envious Zeal against the People called Quakers and together with an Appeal against him to all the more Sober Impartial c. he Subjoins a Vindication of our Christian Faith especially respecting the Fundamental Doctrines and Principles of Christian Religion This also was Printed by W. Bradford Anno 1692. but after the other Paper already cited as appears by the References to it in this Book Some few Passages out of it and that the rather for that G. K. is Sole Author here not in conjunction with others as before I shall add by way of Corollary In page 6. I find G. K. deservedly reflecting on his Opponent for his Citations out of the Quakers Printed Books and Treatises as having borrowed and taken them not from our own Books but from our professed Adversaries whom he terms Men known well enough to be possessed with prejudice against us such as Thomas Hick's and John Faldo and others But how comes G. K. of late to abet these very Adversaries defended their cause and pick matter of quarrel against Friends even out of these very Books among others he here recommends whom our Friends in Old England and particularly G. W. and W. P. have largly answered and goes on I do here solemnly charge C. M. to give us but ONE single instance of any one Fundamental Article of Christian Faith denyed by us as a People or by any one of our Writers or Preachers generally owned and approved by us And in the next page ' According to the best knowledge I have of the People called Quakers and those most generally owned by them Is G. W. W. P. and J. W. none of this number Did not he then repute them such and recommend G. W. and W. P their Books as such as Preachers and Publishers of their Faith of unquestioned esteem among them and worthy of double Honour as many such there are I know NONE that are guilty of any ONE of such Heresies and Blasphemies as he accuseth them In page 11. Speaking on behalf of the Quakers he saith We zealously believe that the Man Christ is in Heaven without us in his Glorified Body of Man the same for being he had on Earth but wonderfully changed in manner and condition as is clearly and fully expressed in that late Treatise given forth by our Friends in Rhode-Island called The Christian Faith c. Vindicated c. Now hear him in page 52 thus he hath it But that he Cotton Mather chargeth it upon us as if we did not believe Christs coming again and appearance without us in his Glorified Body to judge the Quick and the Dead is that he cannot prove ANY OF US Guilty that is generally owned and received to be of our Faith only we have denied the gross and carnal Imaginations that some have vented as concerning Christ's Body calling it Natural and Earthly which we believe is Spiritual and Heavenly And a little lower ' He C. M. doth most grossly prevaricate abusing and perverting our words This abuse and perversion himself of late hath been guilty of in a high degree and that from the same to picks as if because we owned an inward quicking and being raised with Christ in our Souls and inward Man that therefore we deny any future Resurrection of the Body after Death which WE DENY NOT but affirm against Ranters and vain Notionists and we believe that the Resurrection of the Body is not attained Immediately after Death but at Christ's coming and appearing to judge the Quick and the Dead and the same Body that dyeth is raised in a true sence being freed and refined from all Dross of Corruption c. His Citations out of my Father page 25. 26 28. These are but words of course with him for it is not long since that it was Dear G.W. also whom he terms Dear Isaac Penington and saith he well knew to be a true Believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and a sincere Lover of the crucified Jesus and those of G. F. page 60. Vindicating them even in those very passages which his Friend Tho. Crisp renders them as heretical in I lightly pass over deeming it no wonder that T. C. and G. K. should clash when G. K. and G. K. cannot agree And perhaps a more suitable occasion may happen for some body else to be more particular therein Now Reader what should induce such a Man of so great abilities as he would be thought to be and no question hath more then he makes a good use of who to Gods praise as he tells C. M. page 29. but I rather think to his own applause hath the Gifts both of sound Knowledge and Expression with his MANIFOLD other Mercies bestowed on him thus to interfere say and unsay were it not that Envy and Prejudice hath exceedingly blinded him For supposing not granting that those three Friends he levels his stroak so hard against had not so safely guarded some Expressions as they might have done must therefore they and their Brethren be reflected on as Blind Dark and Erroneous touching divers weighty Matters of the Christian Doctrine and Faith even after he had given a contrary character of two of them viz. G. W. and W. P. and referred to their writings as sound and true as well as declared that he knew not one single instance of any one Fundamental Article of Christian Faith denied by us as a People or by any one of our Writers and Preachers generally owned and approved by us Let us hear him therefore once more pass Judgement against himself even in this particular and that after 28 Years experience and converse both private and publick and therewith close these All but prejudiced Persons saith he Serious Appeal page 7. will say if it can be found by comparing their Words one with another that their Sense or Meaning is sound though not so altogether safely and cautiously worded in every respect Charity is to be allowed and the best construction ought to be given to their words or they themselves or their Friends for them in respect of their absence or decease who did best know them ought to be allowed to give their sence of them as I have done in the sincerity of my Heart according to my best understanding and knowledge of them and I think I should know and do know these called Quakers The greater is his condemnation then falsly to accuse them now and their Principles far better than Cotton Mather or any or all his Brethren having been conversant with them in publick Meetings as well as in private Discourses with the most noted and esteemed among them for about 28 Years past and that in many places of the World in Europe and for these divers Years in America THE END
