Postscript.

SINCE this Book went to the Press, Mr. Keith hath witten a Just Vin∣dication; and his long promis'd and long lookt for Retractions are now in the Press, and to them I refer W. C. and his Friends the Quakers. I declare I never read, nor never will, Mr. Keith's former Books, nor dispute what he meant by this word and that; for I stand by him no farther than he by the Old, though late Exploded Doctrines of Christianity: The Au∣thor of the Snake in the Grass, this day hath Learnedly appeared in his Vindi∣cation, against Mr. Ellwood (a Quaker) The Title of this Masculine Tract, is Satan Disrob'd, where he tells us, Im∣puted Righteousness, when examin'd, was In putted Righteousness: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Men need not seek to Jerusalem to Christ Blood, Quakers have Printed, Ellwood

Page 97

says, it was a mistake of the Printer too, for whoever did go there to seek his Natural Blood shed; he says, they con∣demn them that plead for an Outward Sanctification: Who of us ever said, Sanctification was an outward thing: a great Preacher among them no Jo. 14 said, In my Fathers house are many Manchets, he applied it White-bread, Fine Provision was in God's House: yet all was by Inspiration: One Printed, such a Friend was Meeker than Moses, Stronger than Sampson, Wiser than Solo∣mon, more Patient than Job, Harmless and Innocent as Christ himself; That some pretended to come beyond the Outward Christ, or Jesus: That Isac Pennington wrote to the Jew; and ne∣ver names the Outward Christ, but the Light within: That they have condemned going beyond Yea and Nay, and attesting God to any thing, and made such things Oaths, yet now have consented to this Form, on the Parlia∣ments giving them this favour, In the Presence of Almighty God, the Witness of what I say: As the Lord Liveth, they said was an Oath, yet denyed, W. Penn

Page 98

swore, when he said, As sure as the Lord Liveth, because the word sure was added, which made it the Higher: Read p 45, 46. about Penn's Prophe∣sie of Thomas Hicks, what Lyes and Folly was used to secure Mr. Penn from being a False Prophet, which no man can do, and this will be a stain and curse on his name: He names T. Curtis and others, that deny, or will not own, what Penn's followers are forced to say after Mr. Keith.— This Ingeni∣ous Author (on whom our Conform∣ing Episcoparian flings dung as well as on me (became once more an Advo∣cate for Mr. Keith, who is his Intimate and Correspondent, That nothing but Conscience ind••••ed him to this Change, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 being against his interest in the World, &c. They tryed Mr. Keith in Pensilvania for his Life, about his Doctrine, and no doubt had put him to Death, had not his Majesty at the nick of time sent o∣ver a New Goverrour, W. Penn then Absconding (the world too well ••••ows for what) they there sent out warrants to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Printers and P••••li∣shers of Books against them. He tells

Page 99

how Mr. Pennyman left the Quakers because they would not in London pro∣ceed against Friends for Lying, De∣ceit, Ʋncleanness, that was fully proved against them, whilst they would continue in the Ʋnity: He proves Cressius the Dutchmans History of the Quakers ve∣ry lame and defective, as about Bur∣oughs's Sufferings, when the quite con∣trary was known, that learned Man was too credulous and believed their Lyes and publisht them: The Whore∣doms of Arcler proved, for which he ••••ed, and here received, read in that Book.

I justifie the late hand of God on my mind and Body, after many years ease a both: But was Spira mad? Was Mr. Rogers of this City so? Mr. Tra∣ross of Cornwal who pin'd away for a ime? to name no others: Such as . C. and W. C. who Lye, &c. as if ast feeling, are not so safe as Spira, f whom Mr. Perkins hath spoken fa∣vourably, and given weighty reasons, ••••d Mr. Baxter more in his Christian Directory; no Scoffers know what lie between them and their Graves: A

tempestious winds arise on a sudden on Marriners, who just before were in a Calm, and (it may be) at their Musick, which may not only oss them, but cast them away, and none can allay, but he whom the Winds and the Seas obey; so may an inward Tempest do. — Re∣member that of David, Search me O God and know my heart, &c. and that of Paul, Examine your selves, whether you be in the Faith, &c. for the best may say as Heman, I am even distracted through thy Ferrors; yet was he no Mad Ma; None accused him of I know not what Impieties; neither doth my Consci∣ence Accuse of such idle stories, that those men and Mr. Sylvester (like an old Quaker) have set on foot; none of which I ever saw, and they dare not face me: Is their cause good? They are Suspitious Commodities that can∣not bear the Light.

It is expected when Muggleton is dead his Journal will be Printed also, and his Prophesies, as some Muggleto∣nians tell; yet Fox and he damned one another as False Prophets times with∣out number.
