A46824	The state of the case, briefly but impartially given betwixt the people called Quakers, Pensilvania, &c. in America, who remain in unity, and George Keith, with some few seduced by him into a separation from them as also a just vindication of my self from the reproaches and abuses of those backsliders / by Samuel Jennings.	Jennings, Samuel, d. 1708.	1694 (1694)	Wing J670; ESTC R3996	38,369	87

â—s never done by that lame Record of Daniel â—â—ds's producing that gives no account of â—urses Distances nor number of Acres of â—adow which is such a return as one preâ—â—ding to art would blush at But however â—e can be no wrong done by me to Richard â—tthews for either it was Surveyed to â—â— or it was not if it were then he has it â—t were not What pretence hath he to it â—e than I who am a Co-ordinate Proprietor â—h him The Fifth and last Article Relating to me is only a suggestion in general terms of abuses done to John Skeen Deceased which if Peter Boss had nothing to say to make good his Charges I shall need to say as little in my defence As to the Sixth and Seventh Article Where he squibbingly queries Whether it were S. J. or J. Simcock that was carried Drunk to Bed betwixt to persons And whether it were the said S. J. or J. Simcod that was Drunk lost a Coat that was borrowed of another Man These things I know nothing of and believe that J. Simcock deserves not so base a Reflection being a Mâ—â— fearing God and of good Repute in the Country but his Crime is that he is one of the Twenty Eight that flrst appeared in â— testimony against G. K. c. Thus Reader if thou art impartial thou wilt see and grant how little matter is iâ— this great and loud Charge and nothing proved so that all indifferent People did nauseate and abnor the baseness of the praction of this Man Peter Boss whom the Jury found only Guilty as they say of transgressing the 29th Chapter of the Laws of this Province c. For which he was Fined Six Pound The word only here is given to put an â—mphasis upon the Verdict which shews how â—ight a matter the Libeller esteems it to slight â—nd Condemn Magistracy and Government â—e necessity and dignity of which is not to â—e disputed in it self how mean soever the instruments of it be since we have always awned it to be an Ordinance of God As â—o divers other things suggested against me â—â— that malicious Libel relating to the usage of my Servants c. representing me either ruel or obscene I deny any one thing as here suggested to be true and were it â—eedful I could procure as large a testimoâ—y of the good usage of my Servants perhaps â—â— any Man in that Country that hath been laster of so many and that from the very â—ands of those that I am represented to abuse though I was never principled against giving â—e Correction to Servants and in that Counâ—y where Servants are bound for time it 's â—ery well known how froward many have â—roved with design if possible to torment â—â—d tire those they have belonged to to force â—em to give them their freedom I shall give but one Instance more of the reasure I have had from these People I mean G. K. P. B. c. and so come to a Conclusion â—aving been much larger then I intended or â—â—y circumstances for time would well allow â—â— the Book indeed deserved being it 's such â—â— none here nor any where else can yet be â—und by me to own The matter is this as near as I can relate it not having the Paper by me Whilst Peter Boss was in the Prisâ— at Philadelphia he says there came to visit hiâ— one Robert Cole who asked What are youâ— Prison for Saying S. I. was Drunk I 'le proâ— that for he was Drunk at my House and Spewâ— in the Bed and gave the Maid a piece of Eight to clean it This Peter Boss c. spread Toâ— and Country by small Manuscripts thrâ— into the hands of such as never were of oâ— Communion for it came too late to be Priced with the rest or else no doubt we had â—â— it When I heard it I desired two Friend who lived near Cole to enquire if he had â— reported he told them if he had he did â—â— know it for he confessed he was Drunk whâ—â— he was in Prison with Peter Boss and thâ—â—â— knew no such thing by me but said on â—â— Morrow after he had been with P. B. Geoâ— Keith desired to speak with him and whâ— together G. K. asked him concerning whâ— he was said to have reported of me he tâ—â— him as he says that he knew no such thing â— me G. K. told him an honest Man would â— as good as his word and he having said â— Why should he deny it He said he know not that ever he said it but did Confess â— was Drunk and knew not what he said Bâ—â— G. K. pressed it so far till as Cole says â—â— Wife desired him to desist saying Husband the Man says he was Drunk therefore let him alone Yet notwithstanding the report was spread by Paper c. to the utmost of their power I shall not need to aggravate this by making any remarks upon it being so loathsome in it self as cannot be related without great reluctancy How like this was to Sufferers for Religion and under the weight of a heavy Persecution I shall leave my Reader free to sudge and pray God to forgive the Iniquity of my Enemies that have bitterly belcht out and thrown forth whole floods of reproach against me which how ill soever it hath been on their part I bless God I have been carried through it and over it and can hardly count it â— suffering esteeming iâ— as my Crown to be reproached by such as Apostatize from the Truth with which I have been acquainted long â—ough to make it familiar and easie to me And it is my great satisfaction that the unkindnesses I have met with in this Nation at this or any other time nath â—een mostly from those â—at have been concerned in or favourers of â—he Old or New Separation which rather than â— would purchase their favour at so dear a â—ate as to spare them much less to fall in with â—hem till they repent I would rather chuse â—â— stand exposed to their â—tmost rage and fury And though I am not wholly unknown nor a granger in this Nation and have reason many â—ays to be endeared to it and more that the â—ay of God's Love reached me in it than that drew my first Breath in it Yet having had my esidence for more then 14 Years in a remote and it may with reason be supposed that my condition and Carriage may be better known there than here For which Reason I have chosen to publish the Certificate sent â— me by Friends there who remain in Unâ—â— and have not been defiled with G. K.'s Sâ—â— paration which I intend for a Conclusâ—â—â— of this Work To our Dear Friends and Faithful Brethren in England and elsewhere where these may come From our Quarterly Meeting in Philadelphia in Pensilvania the 4th of the 10th Month 1693. IN a tender sense of that Everlasting Love which God the Father through his Dear Son Christ Jesus hath Loved us and United us together in the Unity of his Spirit and Bond of Peace where there is no Rent or Division Hatred or Prejudice do we sincerely salute you all Earnestly desiring that Grace Mercy and Peace Love Unity and Concord be more and more multiplied amongst you and us and all God's Heritage every where And that it may please the Lord to subdue and cause that to wither and decay that would break our Unity trouble the Common-wealth of Israel and lay Stumbling-blocks in their way Although it 's a day of great Tryal Exercise and Affliction to the Seed of Jacob in this part of the World yet we have cause to say it 's a day of God's Love so that many were never nearer to the Lord or enjoyed more of his presence which sweetens the waters of afflictions and makes the passage through the vale of tears and mourning easie unto us the Lord having raised our desires after and given us a measure of the sence of the durable reward and Kingdom of Everlasting Joy Rest and Peace Our dear and well esteemed Friend Same Jennings having laid his intention before the Meeting of going for England to visit Frieds there We thought fit and also our duty to certifie unto you that we have good Unity with him in the Spirit and Life of Jesus whose Labour and Trayel in the Gospel â—â— Peace and Salvation the Lord hath beeâ— pleased to make successful so that his Living and Savoury Testimony has a seal in â—â— Hearts of the true Israelites of God in thâ—â— American Parts who has stood firm in the Building of the Lord against that Spirit iâ— George Keith and his Adherents that would Divide Rent and Scatter and many have been the Malicious Arrows that have been Shot at him endeavouring with all the Art and Parts that Spirit could prompt them to to Villfie and Wickedly to Calumniate him both with Tongue and Press therefore the Love of God and the regard we have to his Truth constrains us to certifie unto you that as far as we can understand he is clear from the false Aspersions and Defamations that has been spread abroad in many Countries by the said G. K. and his Adherents having been cleared in the face of the Country of many of them with shame to the false Accuser Note The Friends saying I have been cleared in the face of the Country with shame to the false Accuser of many of the Aspersions and Defamations cast upon me respect all that was in P.

of a Plea Wherein he had like a most disingenious Adversary upon groundless reports laboured to reproach several of them and dispersed the same towards London and other parts some Weeks e're the Persons against whom they were Printed had a sight of the same And yet George Keith would possess his hearers and others by his Pamphlets that he had no Gospel Order from the Meeting when the whole procedure is according to the order of Truth established among Friends And he himself cannot but be Conscious to himself herein that neither Gospel nor Order regulates him in Conference with us nor in his giving forth his Papers against us Signed on the behalf and by Order of our Meeting of Ministring Friends held in Burlington the 6th of the 7th Month. 1692. Sam. Jennings POSTSCRIPT AND After George Keith and his Adherents by his said Plea appealed to God the righteous Judge of all Men and next to all faithful Friends and Brethren here in America and in Old England Scotland and Ireland or elsewhere to Judge between them and us Yet in a short time afterwards they got another Paper Printed which they stiled An Appeal from the 28 Judges to the Spirit of True Judgment in all faithful Friends called Quakers that meet at this Yearly Meeting at Burlington the 7th Month 1692. But instead of giving us any friendly Notice of this Appeal they spread and set the same upon Posts about this Town of Philadelphia and else where Nine days at least before the said Yearly Meeting And when the Meeting time came G. K. and his Company met apart in the Court-house from whence he sent to Friends a Paper in the nature of a Challenge requiring a hearing of his said last mentioned Appeal which Challenge was Introduced by one of his followers who climbing up in our Meeting house Window tho the door was open stood in the said Window with his Hat on and read part of it while our ancient Friend Tho Jauney was at Prayer And the publick Friends from the Mornings Meeting had sent to G. K. by Word and Writing That in Case he had any thing to propose to that Yearly Meeting either as a Friend or Opposer he should have a suitable hearing and Answer provided he would stay till the day appointed for business which was the last day of the Meeting Friends not being willing to invert the good Ordeâ— of Truth in Imploying those days for business which were Established for Worship â— Nevertheless G. K. slighting Friends Proposals calling them Evasions and Jesuitical Tricks did give publick Notice for the People to meet him at our Meeting-house after Meeting was over the next day being the third day of the Week At which time they accordingly met whereupon some Friends were sent by the Ministring Friends to acquaint G. K. and the People then met with him how that Friends were ready and willing to give him the Opportunity of a hearing next day following which was the day appointed for business according to Friends former proposals in that behalf But instead of admitting those so sent to deliver their Message he and divers of his Followers cried out against them saying They had nothing to do there refusing to hear them and insinuating to the Auditory that the said Friends came to disturb their Meeting and so they immediately withdrew to the Court-house And there the said G. K. and the rest concerned in the said Appeal having set up those who made little or no Profession of Truth for their Judges whom they called Impartial Men by reason of their not signing theretofore either with or against the said Appealors though joined with them in Worship at their said separate Meeting and so drew up a sort of Judgment against Friends and signed it that very Night which is also put in Print as from their Yearly Meeting signed by Robert Turner Griffith Jones and others And though the same was compleated according to the Mind and Direction of our Opposer G. K. yet it was so far from allaying his rage and violence against Friends that he still persisted in his abusive Carriage calling Friends in our Religious Meetings Hypocrites Snakes Vipers Blood-thirsty Hounds Impudent Rascals and such like bidding them cut him in Collops fry him and eat him and saying His Back bad long itched to be whipt And at the same Juncture he said That he was like our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ comparing himself to a Dove a Lamb while he thus appeared in a great Transport oâ— Heat and Passion It would be tedious to trace him in one half oâ— his Raileries invective Preachings and loathsome Printings against us since this disorderly Yearly Meeting of his and Separation from us his Auditony being generally made up as to the bulk thereof out of the disaffected the Apostates and the more Prophane of all Perswasions among us whom he gratified with telling them of a Preaching Quaker in Mary land who got another Man's Wife with Child which they meaning Friends could not discern by the Light within and with another being carried drunk out of a Tap-house with such unseemly passages for a Man of his Rank and Pretences And tho' we published not a Line in Print to detect him justly of his notorious Falshoods against us hoping thâ— have somewhat thereby kept this unhappy difference from being made more publick by us as much as in us lay and as long aâ— we could yet this uneasie and farious Man upon our Return as usually to one Meeting on the First Days during the severity of the Winter at our Meeting-house on thâ— Front of Delaware He sets on afresh not only to disquiet Friends here but very rudely and openly opposed our publick and serviceable Travailing Friend Tho. Everndon and Richard Hoskins who bearing their Testimonies in the dread of the Lord and in Humility of Spirit among us he called out upon them several times Hypocrites Hypocrites and the former of them tho' two days before he said he had good Unity with him he call'd him then before many Hundreds The greatest Hypocrite that ever stood upon two Legs And while for some Weeks we Assembled together in some of the last Meetings George Keith left Friends Gallery and betook himself to the Stairs near one of the Doors on the opposite side and being soon weary of that Seat as appearing there too much like what he was viz. a Common Opposer his Followers on a sudden set up on a Seventh Day a new Gallery for him over against the Publick Friends which two of the Trustees hearing of went that Evening in a peaceable manner calling to them Robert Turner who was a Trustee also to remove the same being set up there as a Seat of Contention and without the least Consent of the Meeting And upon their going in Robert Turner with more heat than true Zeal and as he said afterwards with a dissatisfaction to Galleries striking only a transient stroke at the new one he fell severely upon
