Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

P. 2. HE recites some words of G. Whitehead , as if they were Haeretical , which are not only Inoffensive , but such as import the Profession of that Faith , without which no Man can be Sanctified . Again , in Answer to T. Smiths Question , p. 23. Q. 43. When you tell us that ye have Faith in Christ , do you mean Christ , whose Person is now Ascended into Heaven above the Clouds ? Or do you mean only a Christ within you ? G. W. replyeth . Answ . Here thou wouldst make two Christs , a Christ , whose Person is above the Clouds , and a Christ within . But how provest thou two such Christs ? We have Faith in that Christ that Descended from The Father , who is The SAME that Ascended far Above all Heavens , that He might Fill All things , and this CHRIST We Witness IN US , who is not divided . P. 6. On these words , ' His HUMANE PERSON ( Agreeable to the Haeresie of NESTORIUS ) us'd by John Faldo , G. Keith hath this Note : He means His Nature of Manhood , Personally United to his Godhead . Why Nature of Manhood , and not the usual words His Humane Nature ? If G. K. would put so favourable a construction on the Words of the Quakers , as he does upon those Haeretical words of John Faldo , the Bulk of his Narrative would shrivel into a very Narrow Compass . P. 10. He recites these words of William Penn : The Seed of the Promise is an Holy and Spiritual Principle of Light , Life , and Power , that being received into the Heart , bruiseth the Serpents Head. And because the Seed which cannot be that Body , is Christ , as testifie the Scriptures , the Seed is one , and that Seed Christ , and Christ GOD over all , Blessed for ever ; we do conclude , and that most truly , that Christ was , and is the Divine Word of Light and Life , that was in the Beginning with GOD , and was , and is GOD over all Blessed for ever . 'T is Evident that when W. P. says , the Seed cannot be that Body , he means the Body of Christ considered Abstractly from His Person or Essence which is Eternal . The SEED in the Language of the Apostle , signifies The SON OF GOD , considered with reference to that Body which he Assum'd in the Womb of the Blessed VIRGIN . The rest of William Penn's words in this Place , contain a plain , and evident Confession of Faith in the SON of God. P. 17. G. K. hath these words : Nor will G. Whitehead , nor yet his Moderate , and Learned Church-man , their Evasion Excuse G. Whitehead his Gross Error , in thus Opposing by Socinian Arguments the God-head of Christ , &c. And his Moderate Church-man is Idle , and Weak in granting the word Co-creating , and not Co-creator . Answ . Co-CREATING signifies there are More Creating , or who do Create , than One : Co-CREATOR signifies there are More CREATORS , than One : The first Saying I Approve , the latter I Abhor . The Father , Son and Holy Ghost are Co-creating , but ONE CREATOR . Whether I Deserve the Epithets of Idle and Weak ; or G. Keith of Proud and Insolent , the Learned and Pious Reader may Determine . In his Letter to G. W. He says that I take part with G. W. in his Vile Errors . I CHALLENGE GEORGE KEITH to Prove that I have Asserted any one Error , in any one of the several Papers that have been Publish'd for Me by the People called Quakers . He would have the World to Believe that I am one of those who call themselves DEISTS , viz. who Deny that Jesus Christ is the True and Eternal GOD. E. El. says he , by name , and some other Deists . Here he 's Guilty of a most Notorious LYE : For he knows that I do most Earnestly Profess the Belief of the God-head of JESUS CHRIST . That this Malitious Aspersion may not in any measure stick on Me , I shall entreat the Learned Reader to Peruse my Treatise entituled , DEI INCARNATI VINDICIAE , and my Paper against CRELLIVS . I would have G. Keith to Know , that the Moderate Church-man most earnestly Desires , that both Himself and G. Keith may be ever Mindful of those words of the Blessed Apostle : Let your MODERATION be known unto all Men. The LORD is at hand . Edmund Elys . LONDON , Printed and Sold by T.
