confesseth these eight Years been so intimate with those of Chief Note among us not only in Europe but for these divers Years in America I say therefore How is it but he must needs know that according to express VVords of Scripture VVe really own and unfeignedly believe in one God that made the VVorld and all things therein and in one Lord Jesus Christ who is called the Word of God in whom is Life and which Life is the Light of Men and that he is the true Light that enlightens every Man that comes into the VVorld who commanded us to believe in the Light that we might be Children of the Light This is express Scripture And that we believe that as the Children were partakers of Flesh and Blood he himself also took part of the same being Conceived by the Holy Ghost Born of the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem and by wicked Hands was Crucified and Slain and that he died for the Sins of the World whose Body Joseph of Arimathea begged and that he was buried and the third Day he rose gain from the Dead and shewed himself to his Disciples being seen o● them forty Days and whilst they beheld he was taken up into Heaven and a Cloud received him out of their sight and that this Man Jesus Christ is the Mediator between God and Man and that he ever lives to make Intercession for us And that by him it is who is the Life and Light of Men who said to his Disciples I will come again and receive you I go away and come again unto you I in them and thou in me he that is with you shall be in you John 14. and Chap. 18. and promised to be with his own to the end of the World Mat. 28. he even he it is who died and was buried rose again and ascended and sits on the right Hand of God Him Jesus our only Saviour and no other it is that we believe God will judge the World by at the Day appointed or great Day of Judgment But how or after what Manner his Body was changed after it was taken up out of their sight we think no need to undertake as well as that it is impossible for us to determine But G. K. saith It is no more a Body of Flesh Blood and Bones And again according to express Scripture Words We believe that there is no Salvation in any other nor no Name given under Heaven whereby we must be saved but this Name Jesus But G. K. saith It is not the outward Name that saves but the inward Name Virtue and Power signified thereby And according to the express Words of Scripture We believe there shall be a Resurrection of the Dead both of the Just and Unjust as is afore expressed and that in such a Body as God pleaseth to give this is Scripture Now I say how can G. K. be ignorant but that this he must needs know we believe Though this I cannot find will do with him unless we say The Light is not sufficient without something else or unless we say God will not give Eternal Life and Salvation to honest and consciencious Heathens no more to Infants neither that dye in that State unless they have first the Knowledge of Christ's outward Sufferings c. I shall now conclude with a few Words more particularly to those that are most Sincere amongst you for whose sakes I was chiefly drawn forth thus to write and lay before you these things Let me entreat you to begin a little to consider what you have been doing and how you have caused many to stumble at the way of Truth and how you that could so easily and rashly run into this Separation and Division dividing your selves from your Brethren and then exposing the weakness of some and perverting the Words of others with such cruel and uncharitable Aggravations that I do not remember I ever heard the like Now I say You that could so easily thus divide from and on this manner deal with your Brethren without that true Regard had as you ought for the Fame of Truth the way of it or to the afflicted People in remote Parts that live therein Pray consider this and lay it to Heart and what hath been the Effect of it And you that were so much contending about Doctrinal Points not being content with the Expressions of Scripture concerning them how are you now rent and shattered among your selves about them What shall I say more But come return again and let us be content to receive for Doctrine what the Holy Ghost moved the Holy Men of Old to lay down for us in the Holy Scripture and that by a measure of the same Spirit in which they were right we may be enabled to follow the Lord in the narrow Path of Regeneration why should you thus turn aside from the Flocks of the Companions I hope you may see by what is here written G. K. had not any matter of weight in Truth nor Matter consistent in it self to draw you thus aside Therefore do but return in the way of Truth and then it may please the Lord we may yet meet together and sit down in deep Humility before him every one being upon his Watch Tower guarding strongly in the Strength of the Lord against our common Enemies the World the Flesh and the Devil and so may yet be a People of one Judgment one Heart and one Mind Worshipping and Serving the Lord our God with one Consent Now my Friends if what is here written may prevail upon any of you for your good I shall be glad if not we must leave our Cause with God who judgeth righteously Thus truly desiring Truth Peace and Concord may be restored kept and remain in the Churches of Christ I remain one that heartily Wishes for all your welfares and Rest your true Friend Caleb Pusey The 23d 12th Month 1695. Rom. 16. 17. NOW I beseech you Brethren mark them which cause Divisions among you contrary to the Doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them Acts 20. 30. Also from your own selves shall Men arise speaking perverse things to draw away Disciples after them Coll. 2. 18. Intruding into those things which he hath not seen 1 John 3. 2. Beloved now are we the Sons of God and it doth not yet appear what we shall be John 8. 13.

But he that doth Truth cometh to the Light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God Acts 20. 32.

A Modest Account FROM PENSYLVANIA OF The Principal Differences In Point of Doctrine BETWEEN George Keith And those of the People CALLED QUAKERS From whom he Separated SHEWING His great Declension and Inconsistency with Himself Therein Recommended to the Serious Consideration of Those who are Turned Aside and Joyned in his SCHISM If any man draw back my Soul shall have no plasure in him LONDON Printed and Sold by T. Sowle in White-Hart Cou●t in Gracious-Street 1696. A Modest Account FROM PENSYLVANIA OF THE Principal Differences BETWEEN George Keith And those of the People called QUAKERS From whom he Separated SOme Assertions and Expressions touching Points of Doctrine being agreeable to the Writings of Faithful Friends and Brethren as also the Writings of G. K. himself with some Observations thereon written here and proposed to the Consideration of You that differ with us about Doctrinal Points and yet profess your selves to be at Unity with all Faithful Friends and Brethren in all parts of the World both in Spirit and Doctrine that you may candidly and impartially consider thereof and by which you may see clearly how G. Keith is contradicting not only himself but also Faithful Friends and Brethren in several Points of Doctrine but especially about one part of that you call the main matter of Controversie Also several Reasons offered to shew that G. K. designed either to conform Friends to some New Matter or else to separate long before he took the occasion against W. S. and T. F. wherein his Insincerity is manifest in pretending to be One with all Faithful Friends both in Spirit and Doctrine Here is also shewn my sence of his Confusions about the Resurrection with some Remarks upon the Almanack-Makers accusing Friends for Persecuting their Brethren Unto which is added A very good way and means proposed by G. K. himself to bring the Difference among Christians in point of Judgment to a small compass With some Observations and Queries thereon c. Note I have been careful to cite the Book and Pages of the following Passages by which it may be seen though for brevity's sake I have not sometimes taken in the whole Paragraphs yet as is premised in the Title it is nothing but what is agreeable to them IN the First place then As concerning one part of that which you call The main matter of Controversie with us to wit Of the universal necessity of the Knowledge and Faith of Christs Death and Sufferings without us to Salvation as by your Books Plea of the Innocent page 17. and Some Fundamental Truths c. page 14. appears Now you may see what R. Barclay and G. K. have laid down in this matter to wit As the Light and Grace and Seed R. Barclay's Apology page 90. comes to be received and not resisted it works the Salvation of all even of those who are ignorant of the Death and Sufferings of Christ Who receive him in his Inward Coming G. K's Light of Truth c. pag. 12. and become subject to him receive the benefit of his outward Coming receive the benefit of his Sufferings and Death his Sufferings and Death is theirs But that the express knowledge and belief of his taking on him the Form Page 6. of a Man and his Obedience and Sufferings therein is of absolute necessity unto Salvation so as none could be saved without the express knowledge though it was never revealed to them This I deny and how canst thou prove it by Scripture For why may not the benefit of Christs taking on him the Form of a Man redound unto many who do not expresly know it even as a diseased Person may receive benefit of a Cure applied to him though he has not an express knowledge of all the means and ways how from first to last it hath been prepared And even as many have suffered hurt through the Disobedience of the First Man Adam who have not known expresly that ever such a Man was nor the manner of his Disobedience so even why may not many receive benefit through the Obedience of Christ in the Outward who have not known expresly his Outward Coming and Sufferings Otherwise Adam's Disobedience was more effectual for Mans Destruction than the Obedience of Christ was for his Salvation Again G. K. frames an Objection G. K.'s Universal Free Grace of the Gospel page 116 117. and answers thus Object This Light cannot discover the Birth Suffering Death Resurrection and Ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Outward the knowledge of which is essentially necessary to Salvation To which G. K. concludes his Answer after this manner That the Unbelievers that had not the Scriptures saith he neither know him nor the Scriptures that testified of him being gone from his inward appearance of his own Light in their hearts which would have discovered both him in the Outward and the Scripture's Testimony of him But that the knowledge of him as in the Outward to be of necessity to Salvation We Grant not Secondly As concerning the sufficiency Edw. Burrough's Works p. 54 of the Light without something else that you have made such a pudder about of late There is a Light in every Man sufficient of it self to bring Eternal Life and Salvation It is a real degree of Blasphemy to G. K.'s Refutation p. 38 39. say This Light cannot make Satisfaction for the Sins that are past nor lead into Evangelical or Gospel Truths or give Eternal Peace and Salvation We believe and acknowledge him G. K.'s Light of Truth p. 113. who was manifest in the Body of Flesh to be the true and only Christ and Saviour as manifest in us mark As manifest in us The Light within is God and Christ Here with open Mouth thou speakest G. K.'s Here●y of Hatred p. 1● G. K's Light of Truth page 8. against our Principle the Light that Enlightens every Man that comes into the World being the true Christ our only Saviour Mediator and Redeemer and that there is not another And that Man is to heed and be joyned to this Light as that which as it condemns him so is able of it self to redeem him as he becomes obedient thereunto Thou sayest This Doctrine declaring the Light and Power and Spirit within Ibid. p. 8. to be Christ the only Mediator and Saviour asserts another Christ another Saviour than him Jesus Christ of Nazareth who was born of the Virgin Mary c. But saith G. K. if thou wert indeed for this Mystery Christ within as he is the Seed the Light the Power and the Life thou wouldst not say this asserts another Christ c. God and Christ can do all things and G. K.'s Refutation p. 32. both God and Christ are in all Men. Thirdly As concerning Christians and Preachers being Magistrates you Edw. Burbough's Works p. 75. may see what E. B. and G. K. says to wit Such we would have to Reign who Rule for the Lord Exercising
