A94794	A legacy for saints; being several experiences of the dealings of God with Anna Trapnel, in, and after her conversion, (written some years since with her own hand) and new coming to the sight of some friends, they have judged them worthy of publike view; together with some letters of a latter date, sent to the congregation with whom she walks in the fellowship of the Gospel, and to some other friends.	Trapnel, Anna.; Proud, John, fl. 1654.; Ingold, Caleb.	1654 (1654)	Wing T2032; Thomason E806_1; ESTC R207169	57,632	72

first_o rise_v out_o of_o the_o sea_n which_o sea_n in_o its_o self_n when_o not_o trouble_v its_o very_a clam_n and_o smooth_a and_o to_o swim_v upon_o it_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n if_o we_o

become_v very_o tempestuous_a and_o the_o creature_n be_v put_v to_o some_o plunge_n and_o toss_v up_o and_o down_o though_o in_o the_o ship_n yet_o many_o be_v put_v to_o great_a strait_n by_o reason_n of_o such_o mighty_a storm_n which_o sometime_o s●amen_n meet_v withal_o yet_o valiant_a seaman_n heart_n do_v not_o sink_v without_o a_o leak_n be_v spring_v in_o the_o ship_n than_o their_o

when_o they_o get_v the_o mastery_n over_o the_o storm_n and_o not_o it_o over_o they_o this_o sea_n in_o which_o my_o spirit_n first_o receive_v trouble_v and_o dark_a dissertion_n begin_v to_o take_v hold_n of_o my_o rejoice_v spirit_n it_o be_v a_o eager_a press_v after_o the_o way_n of_o worship_n to_o know_v the_o right_a way_n and_o to_o enjoy_v it_o i_o earnest_o seek_v for_o but_o can_v not_o find_v now_o there_o arise_v contrary_a wind_n which_o do_v blow_v so_o strong_a that_o this_o smooth_a and_o pleasant_a sea_n begin_v to_o be_v so_o full_a of_o wave_n and_o storm_n grow_v so_o fast_o that_o my_o joy_n sink_v there_o grow_v a_o thick_a skin_n over_o my_o sight_n of_o union_n and_o true_o i_o mind_v not_o that_o which_o be_v my_o life_n so_o much_o as_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o a_o way_n of_o worship_n which_o night_n and_o day_n i_o lie_v pore_v upon_o i_o can_v not_o take_v my_o natural_a rest_n my_o thought_n dwell_v so_o continual_o upon_o the_o study_n of_o ordinance_n and_o the_o right_a administration_n according_a to_o that_o practice_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o which_o i_o can_v not_o find_v any_o come_v up_o unto_o fain_o i_o will_v have_v be_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o the_o ordinance_n that_o christ_n leave_v his_o disciple_n to_o be_v help_n meet_v to_o they_o and_o i_o believe_v they_o be_v a_o sea_n on_o which_o saint_n may_v swim_v safe_o till_o they_o arrive_v at_o their_o haven_n of_o eternal_a glory_n saint_n voyage_n continue_v till_o their_o mortal_a shall_v put_v on_o immortality_n and_o till_o then_o the_o water_n be_v for_o saint_n to_o float_v upon_o saint_n you_o be_v a_o float_n keep_v in_o your_o ark_n and_o you_o be_v safe_a take_v heed_n of_o the_o bluster_a wind_n which_o be_v too_o much_o eagerness_n extram_n will_v toss_v your_o spirit_n they_o may_v drown_v your_o comfort_n and_o joy_n of_o union_n though_o nothing_o can_v possible_o drown_v your_o union_n saint_n you_o have_v need_n to_o stand_v upon_o your_o watch_n tower_n even_o at_o the_o time_n when_o you_o be_v seek_v after_o spiritual_a thing_n for_o we_o have_v within_o we_o such_o a_o corrupt_a spirit_n which_o prove_v such_o a_o treacherous_a enemy_n it_o betray_v we_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o satan_n which_o be_v that_o roar_a lion_n that_o go_v about_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v and_o so_o join_v with_o our_o enemy_n within_o we_o to_o fight_v against_o we_o therefore_o unto_o all_o the_o saint_n that_o practice_n as_o they_o think_v all_o the_o ordinance_n that_o christ_n leave_v to_o his_o disciple_n i_o shall_v speak_v this_o word_n to_o you_o have_v a_o care_v your_o fall_n not_o overhead_o and_o ear_n into_o this_o sea_n if_o you_o keep_v upon_o it_o it_o may_v be_v very_o sweet_a to_o you_o but_o if_o it_o once_o flow_v over_o your_o spirit_n you_o sink_v my_o meaning_n be_v this_o if_o any_o thing_n below_o christ_n yea_o though_o it_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o christ_n if_o thou_o exalt_v it_o high_o than_o thou_o shall_v thou_o dishonour_v christ_n and_o endanger_v thy_o spiritual_a welfare_n true_o saint_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o misplace_v thing_n every_o thing_n may_v be_v useful_o keep_v in_o their_o right_a sphere_n but_o when_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v beneath_o get_v uppermost_a then_o come_v in_o confusion_n and_o darkness_n for_o it_o we_o rejoice_v more_o in_o the_o administration_n then_o in_o the_o administrator_n dark_a misty_a cloud_n will_v arise_v upon_o our_o spirit_n and_o if_o a_o second_o vail_n cover_v our_o sight_n it_o be_v worse_o for_o we_o then_o when_o the_o law_n be_v a_o vail_n obscurity_n after_o the_o shine_a of_o gospel_n light_n be_v terribly_o to_o bear_v than_o that_o darkness_n before_o a_o freedom_n for_o when_o once_o the_o soul_n have_v a_o freedom_n from_o legal_a bondage_n by_o the_o spirit_n that_o it_o can_v cry_v abba_n father_n and_o have_v communion_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o union_n with_o god_n as_o their_o father_n and_o now_o though_o union_n may_v be_v in_o sight_n yet_o it_o be_v afar_o off_o and_o for_o want_v to_o communion_n the_o poor_a soul_n can_v take_v the_o felicity_n in_o its_o union_n as_o it_o shall_v and_o true_o if_o we_o have_v too_o high_a esteem_n of_o thing_n we_o shall_v enthrall_v ourselves_o therefore_o dear_a friend_n let_v god_n be_v your_o all_o and_o not_o ordinance_n let_v god_n be_v your_o all_o and_o not_o any_o practice_n though_o a_o practice_n prescribe_v by_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o have_v our_o thought_n too_o much_o upon_o or_o after_o thing_n we_o be_v so_o apt_a to_o make_v that_o our_o all_o our_o heart_n be_v so_o ready_a to_o delude_v we_o when_o our_o eye_n be_v a_o little_a off_o christ_n therefore_o let_v we_o still_o desire_v a_o fix_a eye_n upon_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o this_o be_v the_o safe_a road_n there_o be_v no_o damage_n to_o that_o soul_n that_o continual_o keep_v his_o feast_n with_o christ_n for_o christ_n be_v at_o all_o the_o cost_n oh_o that_o saint_n be_v more_o in_o spiritual_a practice_n the_o lord_n know_v i_o will_v not_o undervalue_v or_o have_v a_o slight_a thought_n of_o of_o any_o administration_n or_o of_o any_o saint_n for_o sure_o i_o prize_v they_o but_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o my_o speak_n be_v to_o give_v god_n his_o due_a and_o by_o he_o we_o shall_v be_v think_v to_o give_v every_o thing_n its_o due_a and_o in_o so_o do_v how_o sweet_a will_v our_o harmony_n be_v and_o though_o we_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n in_o respect_n of_o external_a yet_o that_o sweet_a internal_a converse_n will_v delight_v our_o spirit_n if_o that_o be_v not_o smother_v by_o sin_n and_o satan_n which_o aim_v to_o give_v that_o a_o great_a blow_n than_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o this_o blow_n my_o spirit_n feel_v it_o be_v not_o external_o that_o cause_v my_o dissertion_n for_o they_o be_v good_a in_o themselves_o i_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o make_v they_o the_o cause_n or_o put_v fault_n in_o they_o the_o fault_n be_v in_o myself_o concern_v ordinance_n i_o still_o go_v on_o try_v and_o examine_v the_o way_n which_o sundry_a congregation_n

not_o be_v satisfy_v in_o my_o seek_n because_o i_o find_v not_o neither_o be_v i_o take_v off_o from_o that_o restless_a frame_n i_o be_v in_o till_o a_o constant_a over_o pour_v word_n come_v which_o be_v this_o i_o say_v to_o thou_o wait_v it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o thy_o god_n that_o thou_o shall_v wait_v then_o my_o spirit_n be_v quiet_a and_o i_o clear_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n not_o to_o discover_v a_o way_n of_o worship_n to_o i_o in_o that_o i_o can_v not_o behold_v the_o practice_n of_o any_o people_n under_o any_o form_n to_o be_v like_o the_o
