A Modest DETECTION OF George Keith's MISCALLED JUST VINDICATION OF HIS Earnest Expostulation PUBLISHED By him as a pretended Answer to a Late Book of Mine Entituled Some Brief Observations c. By E. P. Isa 28. 20. For the Bed is shorter then that a Man can stretch himself on it And the Covering narrower then that he can wrap himself in it LONDON Printed and Sold by T. Sowle near the Meeting-House in White-Hart-Court in Gracious-Street and at the Bible in Leaden-Hall-Street near the Market 1696. A Modest Detection of George Keith 's miscalled Just Vindication of his Earnest Expostulation c. HAD I not by Observation of past Actions known George Keith a little too well I might have been induced to have Thought that the extravagancies of Expressions bitterness of Words and angry Language vented against those whom he calls A Gang or Sort of Quakers were only the product of a suddain angry Fit which in a more serene Temper he would be ashamed of But alas I find if I had so thought I had been mistaken in the Man and consequently my Opinion of him and his malicious Work but too true and that is that his Spleen is so swelled with the Ill-will he bears us that a common venting his Passion wont ease him but as if not only Intoxicated but perfectly Drunk therewith he Vomits out great Floods of Railing Accusations and what is worse still Sucks in more whereby he is so far from coming to his right Mind as that he may be said to be continually inflamed therewith and thereby hindred from seeing the Deformity of it and the inconveniencies it subjects him to whence it is that instead of being ashamed he Vindicates what any Sober Moderate Man I am perswaded cannot read with Approbation I confess his Answering if his deserve that Name my late small Treatise Entituled Some brief Observations upon George Keith 's Earnest Expostulation is no surprize upon me For I did suppose that he who declines answering an Antagonist more considerable in every respect to whom he is Debtor for three Books yet unanswered by him would fall upon me if possible to Nip me in the Bud which is all of a Piece with his answering Caleb Pusey of Pennsilvania who living at so great a distance he might in probability not expect a Reply in hast not knowing 't is like that any Body here would take up the Cudgels against him on behalf of C. Pusey But as I therein consulted not with Flesh and Blood nor entertained any reasonings in my Mind concerning the Arts Parts or Qualifications of the Man or my own meanness or inabilities for such a Work So now I must needs say I do not find his performances in his Reply to mine so considerable as to render the Piece unanswerable but rather what he is pleased to Term mine Trifling Exceptions therefore I shall now betake my self to it In my former I taxed him with fondly imagining that he and he alone amongst the Quakers had monopolized Knowledge and for Proof thereof produced a Paragraph out of a Book Entituled A Modest Account c. p. 28. viz. If you serve George Keith so George Keith will leave you and then ye shall wander about for lack of Knowledge and shall not find it Brief Observations p. 3. This he now tells us p. 1. is a lying Story an abominable Falshood I Answer He knows whence I had it I reserred to Book and Page which is more then he does in some of his Stories therefore I made it not but that it is false we have only his bare Denial now and not so much before in his Answer to the said Book He only says Antichrists and Sadducees p. 8. concerning some Relations C. Pusey gives in his Modest Account Most of which are absolutely False and that little that 's true in any of them is not fairly nor duly related should he not have told us which were and which were not false and how far true how far false However upon the whole it is but his denial against the others Affirmation which Whether the one would be guilty of Forging a lying Story without any ground or the other of denying a real Truth to save his Credit as not being willing to be thought so presumptuously conceited of his own profound Knowledge and so undervaluingly slighting of others must be left to every Reader to judge as he sees occasion and in the mean time he must excuse me if I disbelieve him and tell him in his own Dialect to C. Pusey he hath brought nothing in disproof of it but his own forseited Credit He proceeds And this and the like false Accusations are the best Armour these my Adversaries have to Fight against me Which is a gross Abuse and proofless Assertion and as such I reject it the only Reason of my producing it being as an Instance of his Malice which is one of my Charges upon him under which he is uneasie What I charged upon him Brief Observations p. 4. relating to ' his imposing fond Notions and unscriptural Creeds he will have to be no other then some of the great Fundamentals of the Christian Religion the denial whereof says he I have sufficiently proved them guilty of in the Meeting at Turners-Hall c. I Answer He mistakes the Point I called not those fond Notions which he falsly accused us at Turners-Hall with denying but I 'le tell him where he may find some that I call so viz. in Truth Advanced from p. 17. to p. 30. likewise p. 115 116 117. and from p. 124 to p. 127. besides other places of that Book what they are he has been already told in part in a Book lately Published Entituled Keith against Keith from p. 39 to p. 53. and from p. 93 to p. 100. and so that Labour saved me for the present Then what I call unscriptural Creeds I shall now tell him viz. Articles of Faith not delivered in Scripture Terms imposed as a Boundary Term and Bond of Vnion which unless a Person confess with his Mouth in the hearing of some of his Fellow-members he is not to be owned as a Member of the Church see the last of the Ten Articles and methinks G. Keith should not call this a false Charge for the very ten Articles themselves mentioned Exact Narrative p. 42. are not in Scripture Language though whether right or wrong and wherein I wave at present and how far they were offered to be imposed is known to some and that himself refused to accept of a Confession of Faith drawn up in Scripture Phrase by the Pennsylvanian Friends himself hath acknowledged therefore my Charge stands grounded upon a good Bottom Besides he 's too hasty to take it for granted that what he said and alledged at Turners-Hall was sufficient Proof I may as well tell him his so called Proofs were sufficiently disproved by T. Ellwood in his Answer to the Narrative and shall have more ground for my so saying than
