Religion which is an Institution of Love dangerous or unnecessary Controversies or Divisions all Religions being I think agreed that bad Men are a Scandal to the best Religion and that they cannot if they continue so be saved in any as is said p. 27. of that Book said to be published with the Approbation of a considerable number of Lords Spiritual and Temporal This Advice being contrary to my Practice I rather chuse to make my Address to you and it 's to such that all along I intend my Complaint And this I may add Concerning Ordination Indeed I am ashamed that I should derive either my own or that any other of the Protestants should derive their Call or Ordination through so unclean a Conduit as the great Antichrist and through confessed Synioniacks Magicians and Necromancers yea through Papesse John a Vile Harlot Sure I am the most Famous of the Primitive Protestants abhorred such a thing and if at any time any of them alledged that outward Ordination it was but an Argument Ad hominem as we use to say by way of Retortion to stop the Papists Mouths otherwise acknowledging their Call to be Extraordinary and Immediate And because it hath been suggested that the Quakers are Papists look in G. K.'s Looking Glass p. 96 97 98 99 100 101 I. And you may see the Papists and G.

They agree in affirming That Infants are really guilty of Adam's Sin before they commit Actually any of their own III. They agree in denying there is a Saving Evangelical Supernatural Light in all Men by which they may be saved without the use of other outward Means if God necessarily Abstract them from them both affirming That such as have not the Scriptures or some to Preach to them or Baptize them c. must of necessity Perish unless the Lord make use of some Extraordinary Means IV. They agree That Humane Learning and Natural Parts are more Essential Qualifications to Ministers and Preachers than the Grace of God and that Men may be true Ministers without the Grace of God but not without the other V. They agree In deriving the Power of their Ministry by an Outward Succession which together with the use of Outward Ordination they judge sufficient to Constitute a Minister though he want an Inward Call from God's Spirit reckoning People are obliged to hear him and look upon him as a Minister because of his outward Formality of Ordination without questioning his Inward Call VI. They agree in affirming That the Clergy ought to be a distinct sort of Persons distinguished from the rest of the People by their Black Coats VII They agree in affirming That Preachers are not to wait to speak as the Spirit gives them utterance but then when the Bell Ringeth Repeat over before the People as the School-Boys do their Lessons VIII They agree That Ministers ought to have a set Limited hire and ought not to supply their Wants with their Hands as did the honest Apostle Paul but sit at Ease and feed of the Fat. IX They agree in affirming That all Ministers are not alike but that there ought to be Diocesian Bishops over the rest whom Men must call My Lord. X. They agree in affirming That Men may yea and ought to Pray Preach and do all their other Acts of Worship when they please whether they be moved and influenced by God's Spirit or not XI They agree in affirming That Water-Baptism is the Baptism of Christ and a Standing Ordinance of the Church of Christ XII They agree in affirming That Instant Sprinkling is an Ordinance of the Gospel XIII They agree in affirming That partaking of the Visible Signs of Bread and Wine is a Sacrament or Standing Ordinance in the Church of Christ XIV ' They agree That it is lawful for Christians to Swear XV. They agree That it is lawful for Christians to Fight and kill one another in Fighting XVI They agree in the Bloody Antichristian Tenet of Persecution in affirming That the Civil Magistrate may Lawfully Kill Banish Imprison and Poyn'd Men for their Opinions in Matters of Worship and Doctrine XVII They agree in affirming it Lawful for Men to Kneel Bow and take off their Hats one to another and in the use of vain Titles Complements and Cringings c. XVIII They agree in Asserting the Lawfulness of Gaming Sporting and Playing and all such other things as Dancings Singings Actings of Comedies using of Lace Ribbonds Plaiting the Hair and such other kind of Superfluities All which although the Papists and G. K. and his Brethren Agree the Quakers Deny and Disown with several other Particulars as may be seen in G. K.'s Looking-Glass for all those called Protestants in the Three Nations Thus as that called The Quakers Complaint against George Keith is made in the Person of the Quakers That Liberty is taken to write this in G. K.'s Person And as that Pamphlet ends with Quotations so this called George Keith's Complaint against the Quakers ends with Quotations For a farther and a more particular Answer to which you are referr'd to a Book lately Printed intituled The Creed-Forgers detected sold by T. Sowle in White-Hart-Court in Gracious-street Both which are recommended 1. To G. K. and his Brethren and 2. To the Serious Perusal and Weighty Consideration of all the Impartial to whom this shall come and to them it 's left FINIS
