A47188	The true copy of a paper given in to the yearly meeting of the people called Quakers at their meeting-place in Grace-Church-street, Lonon, 15 day of the 3d. month 1695. 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

we_o be_v to_o they_o but_o history_n and_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o without_o we_o be_v but_o history_n and_o a_o historical_a faith_n but_o if_o these_o man_n be_v not_o extreme_o dark_a and_o
