Christ Up steps Immediate Revelation and Answers in the Affirmative and refers As to his Birth to p. 256. And thus according to his Spiritual Birth in the Saints is the Seed of Woman for that the Saints are the Woman that bring him forth after the Spirit and are his Mother as Mary brought him forth after the Flesh and after the Spirit also so that she was the Mother of Jesus in a double respect for as she brought him forth in her Body so she brought him forth in her Soul otherwise he could not have been her Saviour as Augustine and long after him Erasmus hath well observed Now as to his Death and Resurrection see 244 245. And he is called the Hidden Man of the Heart whom Paul witn●ssed that he lived in him this he understood of Christ as Man for as God he liveth in all neither as God can he be Crucified or Die and yet he is Crucified in those that are ungodly in whom as they turn from their ungodliness he cometh to live whose Life as a Seed is sown in every Man and as every Seed hath its Body so hath this Seed its Body which as it is raised up in us the Life is raised up or revealed in it through which Life of the Man Jesus we have access unto the Father and have our Fellowship both with the Father and the Son Then for Algorizing his Miracles read p. 200. And we witness the Power of God which wrought all these outward Miracles working Miraculously in our Hearts opening the Blind Eye of the Mind and Deaf Ear raising to Life the Dead Soul causing the Lame to leap as an Hart and the Tongue of the Dumb to speak c. And these are the GREATEST Miracles and the outward were but a Figure of them and were for the sake of Vnbelievers who believed not except they saw Thus far Immediate Revelation Now Mr. Keith I can see no other Remedy but ●ou must either cry Peccavi if you would have Mr. Whitehead to do so too or else ●ame him not whilst you are tardy your self for Turpe est doctori cum culpa redarguit ipsum But as a farther Confirmation hereof and to evince that you have once had as high 〈◊〉 Opinion for ought I can perceive and have given as high Titles perhaps as 〈◊〉 Whitehead or any other Quaker to what they call the Light within and you ●●●ewise in the aforementioned Treatise sometimes call so too as well as Christ within the Seed Birth Spirit Wisdom c.

The Seed of the Woman That Man-child which John the Beloved Disciple saw brought forth by the Woman that was cloathed with the Sun and Moon under her Feet But reviewing your Exact Narrative I find a passage which s●ems Calculated for the Meridian of a Recantation enough one would think to perswade the Incredulous World that you are just mounting the Stool of Repentance I read it thus p. 35. I thank God that hath given me that humble Heart that if they bring any passage out of my Books that is not to be justified I will own my Errour and Shortness Now if they would do the like it would be well And therefore to lay it the more home upon you both I would Counsel both Parties so far as either or both of you are concerned to take the advice given in your Preface viz. But if they really disown these gross and vile Errours which I have proved them guilty of in this following Narrative and be Cordial 〈◊〉 the belief and acknowledgment of the great Fundamental Truths opposite to these Errours then it will be that which the sincere Professors of Christianity in these three Nations will expect from them and may justly require of them as publickly to retract and renounce these Errours as they have publickly asserted them in their Printed Books in the Face of the Christian World otherwise no sincere Christians will believe them to be in good Earnest but that they resemble many Old Hereticks and particularly the Crafty Arrians that pretended and made great Protestations that they owned the true Faith according to all contained in the Scriptures when they did nothing less Now Sir Example● being more prevalent than Precepts do you lead the way and if they do not follow you will have acquitted your self and so far left them without Excuse if in Obstinacy they should refuse to write after your Copy For I hope you will by this time be Convinced that the above Quotations are so diametrically opposite to each other that they cannot all be true and sound Doctrine But if should still remain of another Mind and think them all defensible you would do well to reconcile them so as to evidence it to others which if you should forbear to endeavour I must then tell you That the sincere Professors of Christianity may justly require of you publickly in Print to retract and renounce those that by Scripture and Sound Reason you cannot defend For Mr. Keith we have an Old Proverb amongst us That which is Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander Furthermore it is expected of you that you should once come to stability and no longer be like Caesar at the River Rubicon one while a mind to go back another while a mind to go forward one while profess your self a Quaker another while almost ashamed of the Name But either come wholly over to the Church of England to whom you seem much inclined and who seems ready with open Arms to receive you as a true Penitent and thereby make amends for your so long joining with the Quakers who have so fiercely opposed Her whereby in probability you may obtain a Settlement which may prevent the Ruin of your self and Family you seem so apprehensive of by leaving the Quakers who perhaps in Retaliation of your good Service may be pleased to Reward you with some Ecclesiastical Preferment which your great Learning and Abilities may Entitle you to Or else e'ne turn back to your late Abdicated Opinions and once more embrace your forsaken Friends with a Brotherly Love if after all the Affronts you have put upon them they will yet receive you For in short neither God nor good Men love a Laodicean Lukewarmness but if you continue so neither hot nor cold will be ready to Spew you out of their Mouths Thus have I adventured to gi●e you my Opinion and so intend to conclude designing brevity because I would take the Poets Advice Contra verbosum noli contendere verbis SIR Yours W.
