By George Keith, which was read by him in the said meeting, by their allowance. With a brief narrative of the most material passages of discourse betwixt George White-head, Charles Marshal, and George Keith, the said day, and the day following, betwixt George White-head, William Penn, and Francis Canfield on the one side, and George Keith on the other; ... Together with a short list of some of the vile and gross errors of George Whitehead, John Whitehead, William Penn, their chief ministers, and now having the greatest sway among them (being of the same sort and nature with the gross errors charged on some in Pensilvania) most apparently opposite to the fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion ... And a proposition to VVilliam Penn, to prove his charge, that G.K. is an apostate.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1695 (1695)	Wing K220; ESTC R220379	30,855	34

still in being but not as to the spiritual virtue which is still in being And a little after he argueth thus in the same page And seeing that the children had flesh and blood and Christ took part of the same if the same how was it more or another simply as to the matter of blood His third answer is that he owns the blood shed in one sense was more then the blood of another Saint tho not in the matter of it as to the visible in that it had a peculiar signification c. Obser As to his first answer that his intent was that that blood was no more than the blood of another Saint as to Papists and Baptists whose minds are carnal who oppose the light within here is a plain denyal that Christs death and blood shedding was of value for all men Papists and Baptists and all others are excluded whose minds are carnal and who oppose the light within We had wont to blame the narrowness of them that said Christ dyed not for all men and shed not his blood for all but G. W. here excludeth Papists and Baptists and all others whose minds are carnal who oppose the light within from any other benefit by Christs blood than what they have by the blood of any other Saint but have we not Preached and Printed that the light within is a benefit that Papists and Baptists yea Jews Turks and all Mankind have by Christ's Obedience unto Death which we have proved from Rom. 5. 15 18. and other places of Scripture but this benefit all Men have not by the Death and Blood of any other Saints To his 2d Answer That that Blood of Christ was no more than the Blood of another Saint simply as to the Essence of the Blood by his rate of Arguing he might excuse it if S. E. had said It was no more than the blood of a common Thief as it was reported he or some other did say seeing the blood of a Saint and the blood of a common Theif simply considered differ not as to the visible or matter of it But I say as the blood and body of a Saint differeth much from the blood and body of a wicked man because the body and blood of a Saint is Sanctified so is not the body and blood of a wicked man while such so the blood and body of Christ differeth from that of all Saints by way of Excellency and that in a very high degree beyond what can be expressed or conceived not only that it was never defiled with sin but for other great Reasons And tho Christ took flesh and blood and the true nature of man yet that proveth not that as man Christ had not that which was more excellent even belonging to his body and blood as well as to his Soul far above all other men his very body being Miraculously conceived and having no immediate Father as Man but God As to his 3d. Answer That is as weak and impertinent as the other two he owns that in one sense the blood shed was more in that it had a peculiar signification c. But this is but a small preference to say in one sense it had a peculiar signification the blood of the Beasts in one sense had a peculiar signification that were Offered in Sacrifices under the Law being Types and Typical significations of Christ's Blood But the blood of Christ that was outwardly shed had not a Typical Signification as the blood of beasts had but was a real part of the true Attonement together with his Body and Soul and if he had any knowledg of the great Mistery of that Blood and any due value for it he would not only have owned it to be more than the blood of another Saint in one sense but in a manifold sense or rather every way having the preference the blood as well as the Body of the Saints is corruptible and doth corrupt but neither the body nor blood of Christ did corrupt and that G. W. insists so much on that Argument that because that blood is not in being which W. B. had confest that therefore it is not Meritorious of Justification this is but Argumentum ad hominem at most against W. B. but what saith G. W. to it is that Blood in being or did it corrupt Let him speak out plainly and not shift or quible as his manner too much hath been in Controversy and if nothing can merit or be efficacious which is not in being this doth as much render Christ's Death and bodily Sufferings ineffectual but only for that little time that he suffered and because Christ's Death and bodily Sufferings are now at an end Christ having once died dieth no more But the Scripture saith that Christ by one Offering hath for ever perfected them that are Sanctified and that was the Offering his body once for all his blood being also a part of the Offering together with his Soul and this Offering was effectual in all Ages before he Died as well as it is now effectual and will be to the Worlds end to all that truly believe and obey his Gospel But what little true knowledg either G. W. or W. P. hath of the Mistery of Christ's Flesh and Blood or of Christ without us doth sufficiently appear from two Citations more I shall bring one of G. W. another of W. P. in the Second Part of the Christian Qnaker done by G. VV. pag. 243. VVe really own saith he and confess to the Blood of Christ both in the History and in the Mystery c. By this it plainly appeareth that he did not own the blood of Christ as it was ourwardly shed to have any mistery in it that blood outwardly shed was blood in the History but the life or spirit or Light within that 's blood in the Mistery Next VV. P. in his Answer to John Faldo findeth great fault with him See his Rejoynder p. 335. 336 337. For his holding it to be a Truth That Christ without is a great Mistery who died as a Malefactor by his Death reconciled to God c. Yea and more misterious than for Christ to be in the Gentiles rightly understood But in opposition to John Faldo's Assertion VV. P. saith in way of reply The History is made the greatest Mistery and to believe the one matter of greater difficulty than to experience the other And p. 336 337. He saith further It is strange that should be reputed most Misterious which was the Introduction to the Mistery and these Transactions counted most difficult that were by the Divine wisdom of God Ordained as so many facile Representations of what was to be accomplished in Man In short saith he it is to lessen if not totally to exclude the true Mistery of Godliness which is Christ manifested in his Children their hope of Glory Obs It is plainly evident that they make not only Christ's Works and Sufferings without us but History but even Christ himself without

Ratcliffe and Haranging against me as I was told in my Absence at the last Yearly Meeting which some present greatly blamed And some putting VVilliam Penn in mind to give an Account to the Meeting of his manner of Opposition to me at Ratcliffe Meeting and what just cause he had so to Treat me He began and told the Meeting what he spoke by way of Opposition to me at Ratcliffe was not till after I have abused not only him and Friends there present but had abused Friends in general and had distinguished my self from them by saying of them they did put such a gloss on that place of Scripture 1 John 1. 7. The Blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin and by charging Friends in general and saying he would prove it out of their Books that they denied That the Blood of Christ's Humanity did with God Expiate for Sin and said VVilliam Penn though I was much spent in the Meeting by my former Testimony yet after he had so abused Friends in general I was raised up in such a Transport so that I was carried beyond my self not knowing whether I was sitting standing or kneeling but I was in no Passion the glorious Power of God which I felt did so Transport me that I confess I gave Judgment against him and saw no need of staying till a Quarterly or Yearly Meeting should Judg him seeing he had Judged us all and plainly distinguished himself from us at which I confess I was much moved and had scarce patience to hear him assert such gross Falshoods and to father his Transport of sinful Passion upon the Spirit of God which God forbid I should ever do And after William Penn had done I replied That was most abominable in him and blaspheming though not against the Holy Ghost I hope to father his most sinful Passion calling it a Transport upon the Glorious Power and Spirit of God a thing but too familiar with him and many others of his Associates It could be no Divine Transport falsly to accuse me of that whereof I was not guilty But he gives you a most false Relation in matter of Fact He saith he did not oppose me and judg me until after I had not only abused him and Friends there present but had abused Friends in general and had distinguished my self from them by saying of them They did put such a Gloss on that place 1 John 1. 7. The Blood is the Life and that Life is the Light within But I neither charged him nor any called a Quaker at that time for putting such a Gloss upon that place though I can sufficiently prove That both he and others have put that Gloss on it at other times And though I said I could prove out of some of their printed books That they did not own That the Blood of Christ's Humanity was that which did with God expiate for sin yet I charged only some particular persons called Quakers but not the people in general therefore his Information was false in the main In the Conclusion of my Discourse with them among others Francis Camfield pressed much That silence should be made and let any who were dissatisfied with the Last Years Judgment declare their dissatisfaction and if they did not they were not honest men To which I replied Although it passeth for a Proverb Silence is Consent yet ye know it is not always true How oft in Meetings when things are carried by a prevailing Faction or Party against Truth Right and Justice Persons will be silent through fear of displeasing yet are not satisfied but go away grieved and wounded and this ye are not ignorant of what sayest thou to it Francis Camfield knowest thou not that it is so FINIS A Short List of the Vile and Gross Errors of Geo. Whitehead John Whitehead and William Penn c. Friendly Reader I Design only to give thee at present this short List of these mens gross and vile Errors opposite to some of the Fundamental Doctrines of Christianity reserving a more full Account of both their Errors and some others in high esteem with them to another Opportunity with a due and impartial Correction of them wherein I purpose also God willing if he shall be pleased to prolong my Life and Health and afford me his Gracious Assistance impartially to publish together with the said Correction some short Explications and also Emendations where I see need of some Words and Passages in my former Books for upon a Review of my former books as the Book of Immed Revel the Book of Universal grace the Rector corrected and Truth defended I freely acknowledge I have found some Passages and Words that not only need some further Explanation but even in some part an Emendation and Correction And I thank Almighty God that has not only given me to see them but has given me that humility of heart and Love to Truth and Regard to the Salvation of Souls that I can freely both acknowledge and correct my former mistakes after the Example of some Worthy Ancients And had these men that are turn'd my so implacable Enemies for my zealous and free opposing such gross Errors that I found them here as well as others in America guilty of and which those in America had suckt in out of their Books had but had the l●●e Huminity and Love to Truth and Regard to the Honour of God and Salvation of Souls instead of hating and excommunicating me for my Opposition to those Errors they would have loved and embraced and encouraged me and gone before me in their good Example to have openly corrected them But Old Self prevailing in them would not permit them to do any such thing a plain Evidence they Love the Praise of men more than the Honour of God and Salvation of Souls and the Conceit that they had begot the People generally into that all what they preached and printed was from the infallible Spirit and that they were altogether of a sound Mind and Judgment in all parts of Christian Doctrine tending so much to support their Praise and high Esteem and Admiration among their too credulous Followers being to be contradicted if they should acknowledge their former Errors and unsoundness of Faith in these great matters This is the Pinch and Difficulty at present and rather than acknowledge their Fallibility and gross Mistakes and pernicious Errors touching Fundamental Doctrines they resolved to cloak and cover all these gross Errors both of them in America as well as their own and the more safely to hide themselves they now begin to Preach contradictory to their former books in divers things but will not own any self-contradiction pretending there is none But withal they mightily charge me with my Contradictions to my former Books To which I can and do thus answer 1. If in any things or words I do contradict what I have formerly Printed I am willing most freely and cordially to correct my former mistakes for
