A47134	A discovery of the mystery of iniquity & hypocrisie acting and ruling in Hugh Derborough	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1692 (1692)	Wing K157; ESTC R14384	9,131	13

Apology truly thus Englished The History it profitable and comfortable joyned with the Mystery but not without it but the Mystery is and can profit without the explicit or express knowledge of the History and I still affirm the same 7thly He grosly most impudently belyeth me in his Paper That in my printed Treatise called Truth and Innocency c. pag. 16. the Light within is so struck at as if it were a very insufficient thing Nor is he less injurious in belying me as if I did hold that the Light within was sufficient to begin ● good Work but 〈◊〉 not sufficient to perfect 〈◊〉 Which is his gross abuse but not my Assertion for I never so said but either in his Ignorance of Hypocrisie he doth not distinguish betwixt the several Measures and Ministrations of the Light within for this I have said and still say 1st No measure of Light can save any man either to begin or finish his Salvation without the Man Christ Jesus and his Death and Sufferings and Resurrection and Intercession for us in Heaven without us 2dly The Light is sufficient in the first and succeeding Measures of it both to begin and finish the Work of mens Salvation but yet not the first Ministration or Operation of it and though the Ministrations be divers yet the Light it self in its Nature is but one and is abundantly in it self sufficient both to begin and to finish the Work of mens Salvation but not without the Man Christ Jesus 8thly That the Faith of Christ as he dyed for the sins of men is universally necessary to finish and perfect the work of mens Eternal Salvation doth no wise derogate from the sufficiency of the Light because the Light is as sufficient to work the Faith and Knowledge of Christ without men as within them when it pleaseth God so to order it And as for the Example brought by Rob. Barclay in his Apology and also by me in my Answer to R. Gorden it must not be too far stretched for commonly all similitudes fall short in some part for though a Medicine may cure a mans Body tho' he hath no Knowledge of it what it is yet the Light and Grace of Christ cannot cure the Soul perfectly without all Knowledge of it and Faith in it otherwise it might be said That men may be saved without all Knowledge of God and Christ within as well as without but the same Reason that maketh the Knowledge and Faith of Christ within needful to perfect the Work of mens Salvation doth also make the Knowledge of him without them necessary in some measure to perfect the Work of their Salvation seeing the o●● cannot sufficiently be known without the other and the Scripture laveth equal necessity and weight on both see Rom. 10. 8. 9. Joh 17. 3. Isa 53. 11. Acts 10. 13. Acts 11. 14. Rom. 3. 22 25. Gal. ● 26. And 〈…〉 have received Damage by Adam's Fall who never heard of 〈◊〉 and know not that Adam sinned by eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil yet none are finally lost or condemned for Adam's sin but for their own Sin of Impenitency and Unbelief which they either do or may know and consequently none are finally and perfectly saved but who have some Knowledge and faith of Christ their Saviour even the Man Christ Jesus by the Faith of whom they receive the Forgiveness of their sins according to Acts 13. 38 39. Cap. 4. 10 11 12. Luke 1. 77. cap. 24. 46 47. George Keith ADVERTISEMENT THat divers Papers stuft with Lyes and Calumnies against G. K. these our Opposers hand about from one to another and some from Meeting to Meeting which we cannot yet procure Copies of and with difficulty this of H. Derborough was procured as one of Rob. O●en's which he read in the publick Meeting at Philadelphia and though he expresly promised G. K. a Copy of it yet now detains it pretending he did not limit any time Another Paper of Jane Byles they carry about from Meeting to Meeting And another Paper that was signed by many at their Yearly Meeting which G. K. occasionally hearing read at their Quarterly Meeting at Philadelphia desired a Copy of it which they most unjustly refused And thus like all Evil Doers they seek to hide their Evil Deed and smite at the Innocent in secret and for all their Hypocritical pretences to the Light they are such who are not willing to have their Deeds brought to the Light as Christ said The Evil Doer hates the ●ight and will not bring his Deeds to the Light lest they should be Reproved If they had Truth on their side they would not so smite in the Dark but would openly face to face appear make good their Charges but this they cannot for they have no Covering of Refuge but Lyes Falshoods which God in his 〈◊〉 will sweep away to the clearing the Innocent Amen THE END
