A89843	Love to the lost: and a hand held forth to the helpless, to lead out of the dark. Wherein is plainly held out divers perticular things, as they are learned of Christ; and are most needfull to be known of all who profess godliness. Set forth chiefly for the directing the simple into the living way of truth, as it is in Christ Jesus, the Righteous, that therein they may come to the life and power of that which the world hath in words; which being received, satisfies the weary soul, and makes the creature wel-pleasing to his maker. Wherein also there is some reproofs to the dark world. / By one that seeks the redemption of Sions seed, and a lover of the creation of God, who is called James Naylor.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1656 (1656)	Wing N294; Thomason E866_2; ESTC R207630	74,213	79

is plain 1 Cor. 10 therefore they were to keep their Consciences pure from things offered to Idols for they could not partake of the Table of the Lord and eat that which was sacrificed to Devils though in some Cases they might go to a Feast among Unbelievers yet whether they eat or drank they were to do it to the Lord as at his Table and not as at the Table of Gentiles whose feasting is in the Lust and so their meat they sacrifice to Devils and eat not to God and so do all who eat to the lust To keep from which there is no other thing can but to eat in remembrance of Christs death till he come who when he is come he takes the ordering and government of the Creature himself upon his shoulders and so ever keeps them out of the lust in all they do and so is the Creation restored and reconciled to God in Christ Jesus at his appearing till which time the Apostles exhorted to these things and warned of the contrary as Jude who saw some crept in among the Church who did turn the grace of God into lasciviousnesse walking after their own hearts lusts whereby they defile the flesh living in sensuality not having the Spirit to order them they fed themselves without fear and these were spots in their Feasts who being once inlightened and again giving way to the lusts and excesse they became twice dead plucked up by the roots yet had they great swelling words And of such like are many Examples at this day who have had something quickned in them to hope for the appearance of the Lord but fulnesse and excesse having overtaken them for want of eating alwayes in fear and in remembrance of his coming they are become dead again to any hope of his appearance at the present and have put his coming afar off into 1 Cor. 4. 5 6. another world yet are contending about the Shadows or Figures of his coming as they have imagined concerning them But are become reprobate Pil. 4. 5. in the Faith as to his appearance and plucked up by the roots And to avoid this it was the Lord Jesus commanded his Disciples in eating and drinking to shew forth his death till he came and they knowing this from the Lord gave it in example and warning to those who were convinced that in all fear and moderation they might wait for his appearance who at his coming would bring to light the hidden things and manifest the counsels of the heart and all its deceipts and become the Worker in them and then they should have praise of God and these things were transferred to the Apostles in a figure So they exhorted the Believers to whom the Lord was at hand to let their moderation be known to all men the Lord is at hand which they knew All who get up into the liberty of the flesh rioting and excesse will put afar off as it is at this day with many who are in Observations outward who have a day to go into the Idols Temple and there to eat Bread and drink Wine in a Self-solemnity once a moneth or three times a year or as they imagine some affirming the Body and Blood of Christ to be in the Creature after Consecration as they call it some saying Nay but it is Spiritual after Consecration Others saying It is still carnall and not changed because of words and one imagines the body of Christ reall in it another not reall but by Faith as they say But in this they all agree that they return back into the pleasures of the flesh and fashions of the world there to eat and drink the rest of Gods Creatures to spend on their lusts and it must needs be so with such as do not discern his body in their eatings who is the body of all Creatures and filleth all things in Heaven and in Earth which they who stick in Observations never knew and with such he is alwayes to come or past But the carnall eye which stickes in the Visibles can never see him present to order the Creation out of the Lust and therefore it is that all the Creatures of God are turned to feed the Lust in that state as is seen in all the Worlds Profession and therefore accursed the more riches the more pride the more fullnesse the more lust in that state where Christ is not discerned present And so their eating is not the Supper of the Lord nor doth he sup with them in the Newbut in the lustfull Spirit become the table of the Devill where the Creatures are Sacrificed to his use so he keeps them in observation of a day from the letter which they think is worship but he bears rule in their whole lives by his Spirit and so much of the Creation as is in their hands is used at his will Aud hence is all lasciviousnesse wantonnesse strife fighting Suites and Violence Sports and Vanities too many here to mention all with the Creation is spent upon given not to that end for which they shall account who are in that state when shall be required his Corn and his Wine his Wooll and his Flax which he hath made for his use and to be ordered by his Son who is the fullnesse and vertue of every Creature which all know who come to his Supper where the Father and the Son are come in and Supp with the Creature which all the imitaters and observers of times are ignorant of whose contention is about out-sides And for the sake of such who are lost in this thing and troubled in minde concerning it what I have received of the Lord that I shall declare unto you which all shall witnesse to who come to pertake thereof as the truth is in Christ Jesus If you intend to supp with the Lord or shew the Lords death till he come let your Eating and Drinking so oft as you do it be in remembrance of him and in his feare that at death you may witnesse to the lust and excesse which is that which slew him since the Foundation of the World And is the great enemy of his appearance and that by which he lies slain in the great City which is called Sodom Egypt For all you that live in pleasure on the Earth and are wanton you that nourish your hearts as in the day of slaughter you have condemned and killed the Just and he doth not resist you and you must know a death to this before you can Supp with the Lord or he with you But if you eat in remembrance of him and so come to dye to that which slue him then do you shew the Lords death till he come and when he comes he shall not find you eating and drinking with the drunken nor beating your fellow-servants And this is known from the Lord in the Eternall to be the true end of the Supper of the Lord instituted and appointed that in the rememberance of his death they might

shewed us a more excellent way The Light is come and therein have we found Christ Jesus the Guide of his people and the Leader of Ages even the Spirit of Truth which leads into all Truth even into all that God requires the obedience to which is better then Sacrifice And to direct people to this Spirit are we sent that Christ may be all in all who gives power in the Creature to perform in what he leads into that thereby all that believe in the light may learn him who begets the Will and the deed also who is the Author and Finisher of their Faith who look to him alone and to his light that all may see their righteousnesse to be of him alone And by this which we have received of him in Spirit do we all see you who read what the Saints have done by Call from God and from that sets your selves to do the like to be in the Imitation and self-righteousnesse and Will-worship both in this and all other things into which you are not led by the Lord and by a Call from him For this I say that the Father hath given his Son for a Leader and Guide to all Ages and into and out of all Forms at his Will and in his way and time in every Generation And therefore it is that all who know his Will herein cannot endure that any visible thing should be set up to limit his leading in Spirit or his people from following in Spirit So no form we deny into which Christ leads in Spirit but all forms we deny that are used by Men to keep people from following the Spirit for those onely are the Children of God Rom. 8. 14. who are led by the Spirit of God to whom they who are led by the 2 Cor. 4. 6. Letter were ever enemies for it is the Spiritual Ministration that gives the knowledge of God and his Glory and Power and not the literall for he that is born after the flesh hath his way in the visibles but he that is born after the Spirit hath his food the world knows not of and therefore becomes his enemy And in that state you are who takes the shadow to oppose the body which should lead to the body which is the end of the shadow And takes the Letter to oppose the Spirit which Co● 2. 16 17 20. is given to declare the sufficiency of the Spirits teaching alone and so pervert the Scriptures out of their place and end which are set to testifie of Christ the Life and End to set them in the place of Christ and Joh. 5. 38 39 40. think to have life in them And this is the errour of the Wicked who are gone into the world sensual not having the Spirit And in this state wherein the Spirit leads not both Scriptures and Ordinances and all other the gifts of God are abused wrested out of their places and made unprofitable And therefore you that take up from the Letter cannot bring forth their fruits who were spiritually called into their several Ministrations therefore your Ordinances are left to you desolate you and they in the world together out of which God is leading his people in Spirit to get himself a Name in such a way as is foolishnesse to your wisdome yet the hidden wisdome of God to the Children of Light who have believed therein And you that use great swelling words crying We deny an Ordinance of God To you I say To neglect that which is altered from what God ordained both in Call Manner and End is no neglecting an Ordinance of God 1. God never called any to baptize but first he called them out of the world and their habitations there to follow Christ as into the Wildernesse which were Prophets and Apostles called immediatly 2. They did not baptize Believers over again with water who had had it because they had it not before in their fashion but they went to disciple Unbelievers Neither did they lay it upon all as of absolute necessity but as they saw it useful and could for bear in case it was idolized 3. Their End was to gather all into One out of all the Shaddows and Ceremonies and Fashions of the World to follow Christ alone as he walked bearing his Crosse daily suffering the spoyling of their goods joyfully and their lives unto death rather than to conform to any but him alone for whose sake they were hated of all men which end how your Baptisms answers let your Pride and Pleasures and Conformity to the world in their Fashions Manners and Worships and upholding thereof your Suits and Contentions about carnal things your Rents and Divisions about outward Forms of Baptisms and Worships and upholding that in others which you know is false by Tythes and Offerings whereby Christ is denyed and the Popish Inventions holden up with much such like I say That these things judge you before all men and the light in your Conscience answers thereto untill the Lord appear to judge your unfaithfulnesse herein Concerning the Lords Supper THis is the thing that all the Worlds Professors are contending about and indeed is of great use and profit to the weak Believers who have not yet seen the Lord for bringing them all into one body and bloud mind and heart and soul and spirit But since the Mystery of Iniquity began to work the Worlds Teachers and Professors having lost their in-dwelling in the body of Christ are run out into the Imaginations and are so far from the life of this as that they have lost the Form and the first Institution as as it was by Christ first performed and appointed and therefore are so far from being thereby made one in the blood of Christ that they are shedding one anothers blood about the Form which they are all out of and have lost and the power also For this was done and instituted by Matth. 26. 26. Christ as they sate at meat and did eat and so often as they did eat and drink thereof they were to do it in remembrance of him shewing his Mar. 14. 22 death till he came 1 Cor. 11. 26. And this was that the Apostles received of the Lord and was so practised in the purity of the Church before they ran into confusion which did continue stedfastly in the Apostles Doctrine and Fellowship breaking bread and prayer daily breaking bread from house to house did eat their meat with gladnesse and singleness of heart in the fear and favour of God And this was to be done at all Seasons when they eat and Act. 2. 41. to the end drank in their eating and drinking they were to do it to the Lord and therein to have Communion with his Body and his Blood and for that 1 Cor. 10. end were to keep themselves pure from all pollution yea when they 15. to the end were to eat with Gentiles they were to partake of the Table of the Lord as
