with him 2. Whether they who have signed that Paper against him are not guilty of giving him Names that did not belong to him but may be justly accounted Names of Reviling Vngodly Speeches and false Accusations And whether Samuell Jenings particularly is not greatly to be blamed for calling G. K. Worse than Prophane and Apostate seeing we know not wherein G. K. is in any one particular gone from Friends Doctrine or Practice or what thing or things he is guilty of so as to be worthy of having his Ministry denyed 3. Whether it cannot be proved that that Faction which have sufficiently shown their Opposition and Prejudice against G. K. and have signed to that Paper against him are guilty of Cloaking more Damnable Heresies and Errors than any Protestant Society in Christendom while it can be proved against them that they have not only cloaked W. Stockdale for above 18 Months in saying To preach Faith in Christ within and in Christ without it to preach Two Christs and Tho. Witzwater in saying The Light in sufficient without any thing else and That he owned no man Christ Jesus as Mediator is Heaven but the Grate of God within him and saying in his Prayer O God that dy●d in us and laid down thy Life in us c. and saying That he had not learned that Lesson whether the God head was crucified on the Tree of the Cross or some-what that he took of the Virgin c. but they have cloaked divers other Persons in their vile and gross Errors as can be sufficiently proved particularly Sam. Jenings in saying To do our own business as men we needed not a super-natural Power and Tho. Lloyd in arguing some hours That we might be Christians good enough without the Faith of Christ as he dyed for our sins and rose again without us and Arthur Cook John Simcock in their charging G. K. for imposing Novelties upon them when he affirmed Christ was in Heaven in the same Body for being in which he suffered and J. Simcock denyed that Christ rose in the same Body in which he suffered and Robert Young in saying That he read not in all the Scriptures of Christ without and Christ within and that Christ was seperated from his Body in the Cloud and Rob. Owen William Southbe in denying any general Day of Judgment and the Resurrection of the Dead but only what every one witnessed within here Whether these with many more that can be proved were not cause enough for G. K. to say More Damnable Heresies Errors were cloaked among the Quakers here than in any Protestant Society in Christendom 4. Seeing their Paper signed by the 28 mentioneth a main matter of Controversie betwixt G. K. and them which they say they proffered to refer to one of his own Books or to the Yearly Meeting here or to the Yearly Meeting at London Let them show what that main Matter of Controversie is and wherein his present Doctrine doth contradict any of his former Books which he saith they can never prove 5. Whether the Act of the Monthly Meeting at Philad●lphia the 26 of 3d Month 1692. is according to Christian Doctrine That the Light is sufficient without any thing else thereby excluding the Man Christ Jesus without u● and his Death Sufferings Resurrection Ascention Mediation Intercession for us in Heaven from having any part or share in our Salvation and thereby making him only a Titular but no real Saviour as one zealous for that side lately called the Difference betwixt them and us concerning Christ An empty Barrel and another great Zealot said He did not believe to be saved by that which dyed at Jerusalem 6. Whether it be necessary to our salvation to believe That Christ dyed for our sins without us rest again and is gone into Heaven without us and there doth make Intercession for us And whether it doth not belong to sound Christian Doctrine to believe That Christ will come without us in his glorified Body to judge the quick and the dead and that there shall be a general Day of Judgment and that there is a Resurrection of the Dead to be that the deceased Saints have not yet attained generally but wait for it until Christs Coming And whether there is not to be a Resurrection of the Body that is not the Resurrection or quickening of the Soul only as some falsly imagine Let them clear themselves in these things they haviug given us just cause to suspect them Unbelievers therein 7. Whether every true Christian is not taught led to believe in the Power and Spirit of Christ his Eight and Life inwardly revealed and by the help of the said measure to believe in him who hath the Fullness even the Man Christ Jesus without us glorified in Heaven And whether by True Faith in the Man Christ Jesus without us as it is wrought by the measure of the Spirit and Light of Christ in us we receive not a daily supply and increase of more Grace Light Life and a further measure of the Spirit from the Man Christ Jesus And whether they who have not this Faith in the Man Christ Jesus without them are worthy to bear the honourable Name of Christians 8. Whether it is not a great and necessary part of Christian Doctrine necessary to be preached in order to bring People to an inward knowledge enjoyment of God and Christ and the holy Spirit to preach Faith in Christ without us even the Man Christ Jesus as he dyed for our sins and rose again is ascended into Heaven and there maketh Intercession for us as well as Faith in Christ in us as he doth inwardly enlighten us And whether it can be said that the Man Christ Jesus is in us otherwise than by a figurative Speech of giving the Name of the whole to the measure or part as when th● Sun is said to be in such a House the fullness of the Sun's light is only in the Body of the Sun and but a stream of Light cometh from the Sun into the House 9. Whether the said 28 Persons had not done much better to have passed Judgment against som of their Brethren at Philadelphia some of themselves being guilty for countenancing allowing some call'd Quakers and owning them in so doing to hire men to fight giving them a Commission so to do signed by 3 Justices of the Peace one whereof being a Preacher among them as accordingly they did and recover'd a Sloop took some Privateers by Force of Arms 10. Whether hiring men thus to fight also to provide the Indans with Powder Lead to fight against other Indians be not a manifest Transgression of our Principle against all use of the carnal Sword other carnal Weapons And whether these call'd Quakers in their so doing have not greatly weakened the Testimony of Friends in England Barbadoes c. who have suffered much for the is refusing to contribute to
