A85461	Saltmarsh returned from the dead, in Amico Philalethe. Or, The resurrection of James the apostle, out of the grave of carnall glosses, for the correction of the universall apostacy, which cruelly buryed him who yet liveth. Appearing in the comely ornaments of his fifth chapter, in an exercise, June 4. 1654. Having laid by his grave clothes, in a despised village remote from England, but wishing well, and heartily desiring the true prosperity thereof.	Gorton, Samuel, 1592 or 3-1677.	1655 (1655)	Wing G1307; Thomason E836_1; ESTC R207426	178,733	220

as_o he_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n in_o send_v they_o out_o to_o preach_v free_o you_o have_v receive_v and_o free_o do_v you_o give_v so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o more_o bless_a thing_n to_o give_v

my_o darling_n or_o as_o the_o word_n signify_v my_o alone_a soul_n as_o have_v no_o copartner_n from_o the_o power_n of_o the_o dog_n and_o it_o be_v he_o that_o come_v meek_a and_o lowly_a as_o

for_o faith_n have_v salvation_n in_o it_o only_o as_o it_o be_v that_o hypostacis_n and_o subsistence_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o so_o paul_n teach_v faith_n without_o work_n that_o be_v without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n which_o he_o call_v dead_a work_n because_o the_o life_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o they_o but_o our_o apostle_n james_n ascribe_v salvation_n unto_o work_n and_o decline_v faith_n as_o be_v the_o belief_n of_o devil_n that_o be_v such_o faith_n as_o have_v not_o the_o powerful_a operation_n of_o god_n work_v in_o and_o

we_o be_v also_o say_v to_o be_v save_v by_o hope_n as_o well_o as_o by_o either_o faith_n or_o work_n there_o be_v salvation_n also_o in_o love_n for_o it_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n and_o where_o the_o law_n be_v complete_a and_o full_a there_o can_v be_v no_o condemnation_n but_o perfect_a acquittance_n and_o salvation_n yea_o god_n be_v love_n and_o he_o that_o dwell_v in_o love_n dwell_v in_o god_n and_o god_n in_o he_o which_o can_v be_v without_o salvation_n yea_o salvation_n be_v in_o patience_n for_o he_o that_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v save_v so_o that_o

therefore_o the_o psalmist_n complain_v say_v many_o there_o be_v that_o say_v of_o my_o soul_n there_o be_v no_o hope_n for_o he_o in_o god_n selah_n but_o he_o appeal_v unto_o god_n as_o to_o his_o
