A47145 George Keith's Fourth narrative of his proceedings at Turners-hall divided into three parts : detecting the Quakers gross errors, vile heresies, and antichristian principles, oppugning the fundamentals of Christianity, by clear and evident proofs (in above two hundred and fifty quotations) faithfully taken out of their books, and read at three several meetings, the 11th, the 18th, and 23d of Jan., 1699 before a great auditory of judicious persons, ministers, and others, more particularly discovering the fallacious and sophistical defences of George Whitehead, Joseph Wyeth, and seven Quakers of Colchester, in their late books on all the several heads contained in the printed advertisement : to which is prefix'd, the attestation of five ministers of the Church of England, to the truth of the said quotations, and a postcript [sic] / by George Keith.; Fourth narrative of his proceedings at Turners-Hall Keith, George, 1639?-1716. 1700 (1700) Wing K167; ESTC R2430 153,412 130

they_o be_v distinct_a but_o not_o divide_v nor_o separate_v either_o in_o themselves_o or_o work_n of_o the_o old_a or_o new_a creation_n first_o g._n vv._n shall_v tell_v we_o where_o do_v he_o

these_o property_n be_v communicable_a such_o as_o god_n absolute_a property_n be_v as_o holy_a wise_a good_a etc._n etc._n then_o the_o son_n may_v beget_v and_o the_o father_n may_v be_v beget_v and_o last_o see_v he_o now_o own_v a_o distinction_n of_o property_n of_o relation_n though_o in_o unscripture_n term_n he_o must_v by_o good_a consequence_n own_o three_o person_n to_o be_v the_o
