They the Apostles frequented the Jewish Temple and Liturgy They acknowledged the Authority of God's High Priest and submitted themselves to it as one commission'd from God Tho they were against the Gospel c. Mr. M. Hear Mr. Lesly Were the Pharisees long Prayers read Would you own a Church ridiculing the Gospel In short Sir if a Church must not be separated from that crucified Christ and put Apostles to death must a Church be left that pluck'd King James a Papist and a Tyrant too from his Throne that prays for a Protestant King and chuseth sober Bishops Is it a greater Sin to dethrone King James than to crucify Christ and murder the Apostles That you and others go not to Common-Prayer and Sacraments openly but run into Corners now as well as others once did G. F. George Keith it is revealed unto me Thou art a Hypocrite I know it by the Spirit of Discerning I know also what Money the Bishop of London gave thee and what Money L. hath procured for thee and others too G. K. Yes as the Glover and his two Quaker Prophets did in Cheapside one declared it was the Servant Maid another the Servant Man that stole but at last it was a common Thief afterwards executed who confest all When the Foxonian Quakers excommunicated Story Wilkinson Rogers and others and they them and all in the Name of the Lord they would say This is the Word of the Lord from me to thee Yet the Quakers were always One. Thou in thy Journal tellest of being led into Paradise and knowing the Virtues of all the Creatures of being as perfect as Adam before he fell as Christ himself that thou didst wade through the Blood of a thousand Martyrs by which tricks thou gotest thousands of pounds I have told the People from the Pulpit the Mischief of Toleration and that all is not Persecution Men call so c. I am ready to spit in the faces of my old Schismatical Friends Y. in particular I cannot for my heart love a Dissenter I study Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity the Chief Book for the Church of England and make the World believe his Arguments are mine Mr. M. I believe from thence you will go to Parker's Ecclesiastical Polity too and with him call for Axes and Hammers and say The Cannibals in America are Philosophers or Gentlemen if compared to the Dissenters And that the conscientious Villain is the worst of Rogues and not to be born with and that Christ sometimes acted like a Jewish Zealot which Josephus says were Cut-throats Mr. L. Maugre all Oppositions I must say Snake p. 92. You have all forsaken Episcopacy which you cannot deny was in the days of the Apostles and in all ages among Christians to this day Let such read Numbers 16. of them that perished in the gain-saying of Kore c. Mr. M. It is denied by all Dissenters A Diocesan Bishop you speak of or say nothing to the purpose There were many Bishops in the Churches of Ephesus Acts 20.17 18. Colos 1.1 that is many Elders or Presbyters I lately heard that Mr. Pool and Dr. Hammond once contending on this Subject Dr. H. was examining Act. 20.17 18. Mr. Pool said Sir The Bishop cannot be found in that Verse but if you look for him he is in vers 29. After my departure shall come in ravenous Wolves not sparing the Flock Look you Sir into Ireland you know what Book was there printed by whom against whom G. K. G. Fox thou toldst the World twenty four Languages were inspir'd into thee one Night who never understoodst thy Mother Tongue Thy Battledoor proves that thou knowest thy self to be an Impostor The History Books thou didst put thy Name to and pridest thy self as thine were done by others thou understoodst none of them but madest the World believe all was by Revelation I have heard some Quakers say Thou were equal to Christ wert born of a Virgin G. F. Had Friends thought such a precious Friend as George Keith would have come to this pass they had wish'd that the pieces of Money they gave thee had been all cased That the Spit had stood still or the Pot boil'd over when they prepared for thee Many a good Dinner cost thee but a Groan G. Whitehead's Prophecy is now fulfill'd Contempt is poured on thee For W. C. a Church-man wrote against thee and T. M. himself now G. K. If this be to prophesy I will prophesy of him That he shall sometimes feel pain hunger and thirst That be shall die As for T. M. I have offer'd him a Publick Disputation but refuse a Private one about the Liturgy Episcopacy and Ceremonies Mr. M. I have heard him say he will accept it get you him Protection without which you are no Man to make such an Offer If you so do you shall never say of him as of Mr. Penn That he absconded and would not appear Shall I be plain with you Mr. Keith for once and speak my mind freely to you and will you hear me patiently G. K. Keep to your Word let it be but once but I cannot promise Patience for every one knows I and Patience have been strangers these threescore years Mr. M.
