A47188	The true copy of a paper given in to the yearly meeting of the people called Quakers at their meeting-place in Grace-Church-street, Lonon, 15 day of the 3d. month 1695. By George Keith, which was read by him in the said meeting, by their allowance. With a brief narrative of the most material passages of discourse betwixt George White-head, Charles Marshal, and George Keith, the said day, and the day following, betwixt George White-head, William Penn, and Francis Canfield on the one side, and George Keith on the other; ... Together with a short list of some of the vile and gross errors of George Whitehead, John Whitehead, William Penn, their chief ministers, and now having the greatest sway among them (being of the same sort and nature with the gross errors charged on some in Pensilvania) most apparently opposite to the fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion ... And a proposition to VVilliam Penn, to prove his charge, that G.K. is an apostate.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1695 (1695)	Wing K220; ESTC R220379	30,855	34

still_o in_o be_v but_o not_o as_o to_o the_o spiritual_a virtue_n which_o be_v still_o in_o be_v and_o a_o little_a after_o he_o argue_v thus_o in_o the_o same_o page_n and_o see_v that_o the_o

of_o another_o saint_n as_o to_o papist_n and_o baptist_n who_o mind_n be_v carnal_a who_o oppose_v the_o light_n within_o here_o be_v a_o plain_a denial_n that_o christ_n death_n and_o blood_n shed_v

the_o blood_n by_o his_o rate_n of_o argue_v he_o may_v excuse_v it_o if_o s._n e._n have_v say_v it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o common_a thief_n as_o it_o be_v report_v he_o or_o some_o other_o do_v say_v see_v the_o blood_n of_o a_o saint_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o common_a thief_n simple_o consider_v differ_v not_o as_o to_o the_o visible_a or_o matter_n of_o it_o but_o i_o say_v as_o the_o blood_n and_o body_n of_o a_o saint_n differ_v much_o from_o the_o blood_n and_o body_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n because_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o a_o saint_n be_v

real_a part_n of_o the_o true_a atonement_n together_o with_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o if_o he_o have_v any_o knowledge_n of_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o that_o blood_n and_o any_o due_a

vv._n p._n say_v in_o way_n of_o reply_n the_o history_n be_v make_v the_o great_a mystery_n and_o to_o believe_v the_o one_o matter_n of_o great_a difficulty_n than_o to_o experience_n the_o other_o

be_v plain_o evident_a that_o they_o make_v not_o only_a christ_n work_n and_o suffering_n without_o we_o but_o history_n but_o even_o christ_n himself_o without_o

we_o be_v to_o they_o but_o history_n and_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o without_o we_o be_v but_o history_n and_o a_o historical_a faith_n but_o if_o these_o man_n be_v not_o extreme_o dark_a and_o

or_o excuse_v he_o so_o christ_n without_o we_o be_v not_o only_o a_o mystery_n but_o a_o great_a mystery_n or_o rather_o as_o christ_n both_o without_o we_o and_o within_o we_o be_v but_o one_o
