A47162	The plea of the innocent against the false judgment of the guilty being a vindication of George Keith and his friends, who are joyned with him in this present testimony, from the false judgment, calumnies, false informations and defamations of Samuell Jenings, John Simcock, Thomas Lloyd, and others joyned with them, being in number twenty eight : directed by way of epistle to faithful friends of truth in Pennsilvania, East and West-Jersey, and else-where, as occasion requireth.

That Christ when he ascended into the Cloud was seperated from his Body and tho' one or two checkt him a little for his a●●ertion yet no further notice was taken of it to bring him to any Condemnation for his Blasphemy Also Arthur Cook in one of these Meetings accused G. K. for saying at the Meeting at R. Ewer's house That Christs Body that was crucified and buried is gaue into Heaven and was and is in Heaven even the very same Body which G. K. most freely acknowledged he had so affirmed and that Christs Body was not changed in Being or Substance of Body but in Manner and Condition And whereas at one of these Meetings G. K. had complained against J. Simcock that he had questioned G. K. at the the Meeting at R. Ewer's saying Did Christs Bones rise which G. K. affirmed and proved from Scripture but the said J. S. boldly deny'd that he asked any such Question until John Delavall and W. Brad●ord affirmed they heard him question it And not only John Simcock and Arthur Cook and others did openly blame G. K. both at the Meeting at R. Ewer's and at other Meetings at the Yearly Meeting for imposing a Novelty upon his Antient Brethren but more especially and principally Thomas Llyod who was the great Attorney for W. Stockdale and the great Mouth of all these that opposed G. K. in his Testimony to these 〈◊〉 Fundamental Principles and Doctrines of the Christian Faith did oft object against G. K ' s Imposing an Vnscriptural Faith on his Brethren all which is so openly known to many that we judge they scarce have the Confidence themselves to deny it but what was this Unscriptural Faith that they did blame G. K. for imposing on 〈◊〉 Antient Brethren even no other but this That we ought to believe in Christ without us in Heaven as well as in Christ within for Salvation and That Christ is an Heaven having the true Nature of Man both of Soul and Body the same he had on Earth for Being but wonderfully and most gloriously changed in Condition and Manner and is not only God in Heaven but both God and Man and yet one Lord Jesus Christ and many are Witnesses how at the School-house Meeting as well as at these other Meetings aforesaid T. Lloyd a●gued That Faith in Christ without us as he dyed for our sins rose again was not necessary to ou● Sal●ation which his Son-in-Law J. Delavall openly contradicted bringing for his Proof Rom. 10. 9 10. And at one of th●se Yearly Meeting T. Llyod said Christ within did all which J. Wilsford contradicted saying That he did not b●lieve for Christ without did somewhat when he dyed for us And at a●other of these Meetings ●am●ll Jenings having rudely uncivilly stopt G. K. in his Testimony when he was recommending to them seriously to consider whether it was not their Duty to preach Christ outwardly more than they did said I● thou preached Christ without less others might preac● him more whereof divers present took great notice and was very offensive to them as well as to G. K. and did signifie that S. Jennings was too much a Preacher at his own will as well as prejudiced against G. K. that because he would not seem to follow G. K. he and others would not preach what G. K. preached tho' true And this is but a hint of many more things that could be mentioned as Instances of their gross Ignorance Unbelief and Blasphemy that some of them showed themselves openly guilty of at these Meetings and others their being guilty of gross Partiality and Hypocrisie labouring to cover these men in their Impious blasphemies against Christ Jesus the Son of Man was it therefore any matter of Wonder or Cr●●e that G. K. being zealous and fe●vent for the true Faith and Doctrine of Christ so much openly contradicted by some of them and questioned by others at these Meet●ngs a●o●e●aid was stirred in spirit to use sharp words against them which yet were all true and therefore no Railing nor yet blame-worthy even as it is said of Paul That his Spirit was stirred in him ●●oen he saw the City viz. of Athens wholly given to Idolatry● And suppose that G. K. did exceed at times the one Bounds by great provocations on their side is it not great Hypocrisie and Partiality of these men so severel to judge him and wholly to conceal not only their own Ignorance Error and blasphemy but the ext●eam Passion the rude uncivil and unmannerly Speeches they uttered against him both in these Meetings and afte●●nce calling him Reviser o● his B●ethren Acc●ser of the Brethren Brat of Babylon One that alwayes endeavoured to keep down the Power of Truth drawing from the Gi●t of God calling him also Pope Primate of Pennsilvania Father Confessor accusing him of Railing Envy extream Passion and a Turbulent and Vnsubdued Spirit and not only so but most uncivilly and unchristianly yea inhumanely otherwise treating him in these Meetings often six or ten all at once speaking to him and some pulling him by one sleeve and others by the skirts of his Coat more like Mad-men than Sober and some bidding him go out and when he essayed to go out and prayed th●m to let him go others pulling him back and det●ining him so that greater Confusion was scarce ever seen in any Meetings pretending to Christianity and why do they conceal all this their ●ude and b●se and inhumane Carriage as well as uncivil words towards G. K. but to demonstrate their Partiality and Hypocrisie at least to give us a fair occasion to demonstrate it and what Partial and Hypocritical men they are whom God hath in great measure already discovered and we doubt not will further discover in due time And many of these men have discovered no less Ignorance and Error in the late Difference that hath happened betwixt G K. I. Pitzwater who hath openly in the face of a Monthly Meeting accused G. K. for denying the sufficiency of the Light and the thing at last is come to this Issue that by the Act of a Monthly Meeting held at Philadelp●ia the 26. 3. m●n G. K. is condemned for saying The Light is not sufficient without something else and at the next Monthly Meeting following T. Lloyd did acknowledge in the open hearing of all present whereof many are ready to bear witness which we judge they will not deny That by that something else they knew that G. K. did hold as he hath●oft declared both in publick Testimonies other occasion Discourses The Man Christ Jesus without us and what he did and s●ffered for us on Earth and what he now doth for us in Heaven Whereupon G. K. said If this be a Guiltiness That the Light within doth not save us or is not sufficient without the Man Christ Jesus and his Death Resurrection Ascention Mediation for us in Heaven I own my self guilty but by their thus condemning G. K. for his sound
