A52705	Milk for babes: and meat for strong men A feast of fat things; wine well refined on the lees. O come young men and maidens, old men and babes, and drink abundantly of the streams that run from the fountain, that you may feel a well-spring of living water in yourselves, springing up to eternal life; that as he lives (even Christ Jesus) from whence all the springs do come, so you may live also, and partake of his glory that is ascended at the right hand of the Father, far above principalities and powers. Being the breathings of the Spirit through his servant James Naylor, written by him in the time of the confinement of his outward man in prison, but not published till now.

entrance_n to_o he_o from_o who_o all_o the_o world_n be_v drive_v who_o be_v in_o the_o lust_n and_o in_o that_o nature_n which_o love_v itself_o and_o work_v iniquity_n yet_o weary_v themselves_o to_o find_v the_o door_n without_o the_o light_n of_o that_o life_n which_o be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o as_o you_o mind_v only_o to_o feed_v on_o the_o plant_n of_o life_n you_o will_v come_v to_o know_v the_o work_n of_o the_o father_n in_o his_o vineyard_n and_o who_o the_o faithful_a labourer_n be_v and_o what_o must_v be_v his_o work_n and_o the_o slothful_a servant_n and_o what_o
