Concerning doing Servile Work on the Lord's Day, and the Moral Law.

We might wave till G. K. brought plain and express Scripture, and proved by plain and express Scrip∣ture, and in express Scripture Terms, that the doing of any Servile Work on the 1st Day of the Week, called here the Lord's Day, is forbid; and by express Scripture, proves the 1st Day of the Week, and none of the other Days, is called the Lord's Day, and that Christ is not the Life of a Christian, or the true Christians Life; and doth by express Scripture, and in plain and express Scripture Terms, prove that it's an Article of Faith or Doctrine, in common to be believed; but he may expect some Quotati∣ons to that Head; and seeing in this Sheet use is made of a Quotation out of an Appeal, as it's said, out of a Quakers Book, concerning the Church of England's Ministry, we refer the Reader to a Sheet, Intituled, Mr. Geo. Keith's Account of a National Church, and the Ministry of the Church of England; and to the Animad∣versions thereon; and also to the Book, Intituled, The Portraiture of Mr. Geo. Keith, wherein it doth appear, what Account G. K. gives concerning the Ministry of the Church of England, and the Dissenting Mi∣nistry; and let him now, if he will, own or deny them to be Heretical and Antichristian, so far as they reflect upon the Persons of our Opposers, and most Heretical.

From the foregoing and following Quotations it will appear, what G. K's Belief was, and the Quakers is, concerning the Ten Articles.
