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

perfection_n god_n be_v perfect_a and_o so_o be_v all_o his_o work_n and_o all_o his_o gift_n and_o who_o ever_o receive_v his_o gift_n receive_v that_o which_o be_v perfect_a and_o by_o receive_v and_o join_v to_o that_o which_o be_v perfect_a be_v the_o creature_n make_v perfect_a and_o no_o far_o than_o the_o creature_n be_v in_o this_o perfection_n can_v any_o be_v unite_v to_o god_n nor_o appear_v in_o his_o sight_n nor_o be_v bless_v but_o be_v go_v out_o into_o the_o curse_n from_o what_o be_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o so_o be_v in_o the_o fall_n unredeemed_a and_o have_v no_o more_o of_o christ_n than_o what_o he_o have_v of_o perfection_n for_o perfection_n be_v of_o christ_n and_o imperfection_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o these_o be_v two_o contraries_n and_o come_v from_o contrary_a ground_n and_o bring_v forth_o contrary_a fruit_n for_o he_o that_o be_v of_o god_n be_v of_o perfection_n and_o believe_v perfection_n but_o who_o be_v of_o the_o serpent_n can_v own_v it_o nor_o believe_v it_o be_v blind_v by_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n so_o god_n send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o preach_v perfection_n even_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o father_n that_o all_o who_o will_v believe_v may_v inherit_v it_o and_o all_o that_o believe_v he_o believe_v perfection_n and_o when_o he_o have_v leave_v a_o perfect_a example_n in_o all_o thing_n he_o ascend_v and_o give_v gift_n to_o man_n several_a sort_n of_o gift_n all_o for_o the_o perfect_a the_o saint_n that_o all_o may_v come_v up_o to_o one_o faith_n to_o a_o perfect_a man_n to_o the_o measure_n and_o stature_n and_o fullness_n of_o christ_n that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v a_o everlasting_a redeemer_n perfect_v the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o every_o generation_n of_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o work_n and_o follow_v he_o and_o this_o all_o his_o minister_n improve_v to_o the_o same_o end_n and_o preach_v and_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v present_v every_o man_n perfect_a in_o christ_n jesus_n from_o who_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o gift_n and_o all_o that_o believe_v they_o believe_v perfection_n and_o press_v after_o it_o as_o the_o end_n of_o their_o faith_n know_v nothing_o less_o than_o perfection_n can_v give_v they_o rest_v and_o redemption_n now_o since_o the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n enter_v there_o be_v another_o ministry_n go_v out_o into_o the_o world_n who_o have_v take_v up_o a_o imitation_n instead_o of_o gift_n &_o have_v beget_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o world_n whole_o reprobate_a as_o to_o perfection_n preach_v against_o it_o with_o all_o the_o power_n that_o may_v be_v hold_v it_o for_o blasphemy_n and_o call_v it_o a_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n and_o the_o like_a and_o these_o will_v be_v call_v the_o minister_n of_o christ_n that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o miss_v of_o their_o end_n for_o do_v they_o come_v in_o his_o name_n who_o work_n they_o uphold_v he_o know_v they_o may_v run_v in_o vain_a thus_o they_o deceive_v all_o who_o receive_v they_o by_o their_o word_n but_o who_o mind_v the_o end_n of_o their_o work_n may_v easy_o see_v as_o much_o difference_n as_o be_v betwixt_o christ_n and_o belial_n the_o work_n of_o christ_n be_v and_o ever_o be_v to_o renew_v man_n again_o to_o his_o perfect_a estate_n but_o the_o work_n of_o antichrist_n be_v to_o withstand_v it_o and_o each_o have_v his_o minister_n suitable_a to_o their_o end_n intend_v christ_n end_n be_v to_o perfect_v the_o devil_n be_v to_o keep_v unperfect_a and_o each_o minister_n have_v their_o faith_n hope_n and_o other_o gift_n suitable_a one_o pure_a the_o other_o pollute_v and_o according_a to_o each_o faith_n so_o it_o be_v to_o all_o that_o believe_v they_o &_o follow_v they_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o shield_n &_o give_v victory_n over_o uncleanness_n sin_n and_o evil_a but_o the_o devil_n faith_n let_v in_o and_o believe_v it_o must_v be_v so_o for_o have_v not_o the_o devil_n first_o bring_v man_n to_o believe_v he_o rather_o than_o god_n he_o can_v not_o have_v pollute_v what_o god_n have_v perfect_v and_o the_o same_o way_n he_o take_v to_o keep_v up_o his_o work_n by_o which_o at_o first_o he_o wrought_v it_o so_o none_o can_v come_v to_o know_v a_o new_a creature_n but_o who_o can_v believe_v perfection_n nor_o can_v any_o come_v to_o god_n nor_o christ_n nor_o god_n righteousness_n but_o who_o come_v to_o perfection_n for_o all_o who_o be_v in_o the_o unperfect_a righteousness_n be_v in_o your_o own_o righteousness_n for_o the_o lest_o measure_n of_o god_n righteousness_n be_v perfect_a and_o all_o be_v in_o perfection_n who_o become_v servant_n to_o it_o and_o thereby_o become_v free_a from_o sin_n so_o by_o your_o unbelief_n you_o destroy_v your_o

what_o god_n be_v and_o not_o what_o we_o can_v do_v in_o everlasting_a righteousness_n not_o in_o what_o we_o have_v to_o work_v the_o one_o be_v righteousness_n by_o faith_n reveal_v a_o gift_n put_v into_o the_o believer_n the_o other_o a_o imitation_n of_o the_o same_o in_o work_n but_o not_o the_o power_n and_o such_o be_v you_o who_o read_v a_o verse_n and_o see_v therein_o what_o the_o
