One WONDER more , Added to the Seven Wonders of the World .

Verified in the Person of Mr. George Keith , once a Presbyterian , afterwards about Thirty Years a Quaker , then a Noun Substantive at Turners-Hall , and now an Itinerant Preacher ( upon his Good Behaviour ) in the Church of England : And all without Variation ( as himself says ) in Fundamentals .

By a Protestant Dissenter .

HIS Education , Judgment and Affection , in his Youth , so dipp'd him in the Scotch Solemn League and Covenant , that he Glories in it : Page 38 , and 39. of Help in Time of Need , That by it , as Prelacy was declared a Limb of Anti-Christ , the Horrible and Filthy thing set up in the Land . & he , &c. had vowed to the most High God against it , and had kept his Vow . What is become of his Vow now ?

The same Mr. Keith , whilst a Quaker , saith in behalf of them , in the same Book , thus : I declare unto you ( Presbyterians ) and that in the Name and Power of the Living God , That ye shall look till your Eyes fail you , and rot in your Holes , ere ever ye see another Day or Appearance of Jesus Christ , to your Comfort , than what We , the People of the Lord , called Quakers , do witness Come , and more abundantly Coming : Help in Time of Need , page 78 , 79. printed 1665. —

Again , It sufficeth me , and I hope many others , that according to the best Knowledge I have of the Quakers , as Preachers and Publishers of their Faith , of unquestionable Esteem among them , and worthy of double Honour , as many such there are . I know none are Guilty of any one of those Heresies , he ( C. M. ) accuseth them of , ( which are the same Mr. Keith now accuseth them of , and the same he hath vindicated them from ) ' And I think ( adds Mr. Keith ) I should know , and do know , the Quakers and their Principles ; having been Conversant with them in Publick and Private , with the most noted among 'em , for about Twenty Eight Years past , in both Europe and America : Serious Appeal , page 7. printed 1692. Twenty Seven Years Experience , after Help in Time of Need , printed 1665. Add to this the Multitude of Books he writ in their Defence , against Episcopalians , Presbyterians , Independents , Baptists , &c. in Vindication of those very Books he now quotes for their Heresie ; so that he cannot 〈…〉 nly pretend Ignorance , concerning either the Books , or the 〈◇〉 therein contained .

〈…〉 same Mr. Keith , in his Interregnum , after the Quakers 〈…〉 communicated him , ( for he left not them ) in Re〈…〉 which is sweet ) saith , The Quakers hold such vile 〈…〉 and Heresies , as are Repugnant to the Christian 〈…〉 ss and that no such Damnable Heresies , and Doctrines 〈…〉 Devils , is tolerated in any Protestant Society : Nevertheless , he is in Love and Charity with a Considerable Number ; yea , with all the Faithful , both in the City of London and Country . Antichrist and Sadduces , Loving Epistle , &c. printed 96 , 97 , 98 , 99.

The same Mr. Keith , an Itinerant Preacher for the Church of England , in the Year 1700. ( a very Remarkable Year for Wonders ) from the Pulpit , sends his repeated Exclamations against all Dissenters , except the Church of Rome ; which is not only astonishing , but makes us believe , that the Quakers had good reason to Expel him their Communion ; nor can we think him any other than a Tool , for no good , either to us or the Quakers .

The same Mr Keith , in his Book , Quakers Politicks , makes good my Jealousie of him ; For doth it not , saith he , p. 26. deserve the serious Consideration of the Civil Government , to be a Warning to them to keep a watchful Eye over the Quakers ? — Again , What security has the Civil Government ? But when they think fit , and apprehend they are moved by the Spirit so to do , they may take up the Sword , considering their Numbers , Wealth and Politicks ; for the Prosperity therefore , of the Christian Religion in these three Nations , which is in danger to be undermin'd , by their Crafty Politicks , if not seasonably prevented ( which I desire may be done ) I publish this their Politicks to the Nation . a P. 29. He goes on , And I do say , I have a good Conscience , and great Peace herein , if Sufferings come on them , after this my Exposing them . Again , I can justly say , neither I , nor others concerned with me , ( viz. Bugg , Snake , &c. ) in the like opposition against them , are chargeable with it .

Behold here Revolution upon Revolution , and all with●● a Thousand Years ; as wonderful as Transmigration or Transubstantiation ! not for the unconstancy of the Man , and his many Changes , Sayings for and against , and against and for ; out and in , and in and out ; backwards and forwards , and forwards and backwards : But in the midst , beginning and ending , he is always in the right of it ! for in all these Turnings and Disputings he is not Contradicting himself in any thing , Serious Appeal , p. 7. nor has he , in all , or any of these Removes , varied from one Fundamental Principle of the Christian Faith ; nor indeed from any one Fundamental Principle , 1st Narrative , p. 15. For he has the only skill of any Man in this Age , to be as a Jew , but not one ; to be as a Gentile , but not one ; Bristol Quakerism exposed , p. 32. His design being , as he saith , to gain some ; if he means Money , I believe him .

The Presbyterians , whilst he was with them , both they , and he , hold the Fundamentals of Christianity ; yet he left them , and settled with the Quakers about 30 Years , they and he agreeing in the Fundamentals of Christianity ; for he saith , He knew them 28 Years , and was in dear Unity with them ; but for breaking that dear Unity , they Excommunicated him , upon which he fell in with the Turner's at their Hall ; untill some considered him , and found him a fit Tool to begin this work with , upon the Quakers : First , as the weakest part ; that our Golden or Glorious Chain of Toleration might be broken ; from which mi●chievous Design , I pray God , Deliver us . Amen .

Monstrum ! Horrendum , Informe , Ingens , cui Lumen ademptum ! FINIS .
