A52713	The royall law and covenant of God what, and where it is, and who are in it, and who are reprobate to the faith.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1655 (1655)	Wing N308; ESTC R19463	7,830	10

but hath freely given up to the death of the Crosse and hath walked in obedience of my pure Light in their consciences contrary to their own wills and in these is my power known and my glorious presence witnessed and now thus saith the Lord If ye who are convinced by my pure Light in your consciences and walk not in obedience to it but slights my counsell and cast my Law behinde your backs and abide not in my fear which would have kept you out of all slavish feares and will go on to uphold this filthy abominable thing in my sight in upholding with your outward estates a crooked viprous serpentine Generation of Priests who devoure the soules of the people for dishonest gaine though you are convinced by my pure Light in your consciences that they ran and I sent them not neither have they stood in my counsell but have erred from my spirit as their Father Balaam did and because they have unrighteous Laws m●de in the will of man for the upholding of their unrighteous maintainance which they with greedinesse do seek after and where they cannot have it there they bite and devoure and yet I saith the Lord according to my promise made of old in love to your souls have pluckt you out of their mouths that ye should be no longer a prey unto them and yet many of you for feare of the unrighteous Laws made in the will of proud flesh which is contrary to my pure Law in the conscience have consulted with flesh and blood which shall never enter in my rest and so hath cumbred your minde with fears and troubles of what would come after if you should withstand them of what they call theirs being that they have a Law to compell us thereunto and we shall bring further trouble upon our selves And heare the earthly minde that is not willing to suffer for my name sake comes to be exalted and the will of man is bowed unto and my pure seed which boweth not unto the seed of evill doers neither can uphold any deceite but testifies against it comes to to be betrayed into the hands of the murderer and now the witnesse being slaine you are at ease and can uphold the Idols Temple and the Idols Shepheards and changeable Priests and here the carnall upholds the carnall but my light which is eternall you are turned from and the hands of the wicked are strengthned by you and you add afflictions to my childrens bonds who through faithfulnesse to me are made willing to suffer for my names sake the spoyling of their goods with joy and to be cast into dungeous and prisons for the testimony of a good conscience But ye who can conforme and bow to the will of man and stumble at the Crosse and deale in hypocrisie you are with my pure light by which my Saints are perfected to be judged and condemned and I will rip off all your coverings sayth the Lord which you in your earthly wills have made to cover over your deceipts withall And you my dear children who have thorow ignorance upheld them Idoll Shepheards with the carnall things remember you have been warned from me saith the Lord see you uphold them no longer for my hand is stretched out against them and by my mighty power will I bring them downe and those that uphold them therefore are you left without excuse for at your ignorance I winked at but now by my pure light in your consciences are you convinced that I the Lord am the sum of all figures types and shadowes and all changeable things and of the changeable Priesthood and of the changeable Temple for ye are my Temple sayth the Lord and the habitation of my holinesse whom I have separated and chosen by my power to place my name amongst you and I will be a Priest unto you after the everlasting Order and ye shall be Kings and Priests and shall raigne over the earth over the Beast and the false Prophet therefore my dear Lambs and Babes be bold and valiant for my truth upon the earth and contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to my dear Children of old your brethren the Prophets and Apostles which hath passed before you which was shamefully intreated by the wicked world therefore in my pure counsell stand and abide and look not out at the prosperity of the wicked for by the red Sea of my wrath and fierce displeasure will I destroy and consume all your enemies and oppressors saith the Lord of Hosts therefore rejoyce and be glad ye righteous ones and be faithfull to the Lord for your redemption draweth nigh Rich Salle Prisoner at Derby writ to friends ALL you that have a set wages for reading the Scriptures which was spoken forth freely Christ sent his Disciples to speak forth freely and the words which they spoke forth freely doe you make a Trade of and have great sums of money for and the Apostles which writ the Epistles which was to be read among the Saints he charged them to read it by the Lord and he did not say they should have so much in the year for reading of it for it was sent freely to be read freely and the writing which was in the Revelations was to be read freely which was sent to the Churches in Asia they was not to have great sums of money to read that which was written and Jeremiah which was commanded to write the Rowle which was to be read he had not a great sum of money for it for they burnt it and Moses which wrote the two Tables and the Law which was to be read among the People they had not so many hundreds a year for reading of it but oh what abundance doe make merchandize of the Saints words But let these examples before that be mentioned judge you all to be such as are greedy of filthy lucre and through covetousnesse make merchandize of the people going in the way of Cain after the errour of Balaam who perished in the gain saying of Core whose judgements of a long time lingers not whose damnation slumbers not and there you may see your examples before mentioned FRiends Had the Prophets Christ and the Apostles when they were speaking forth the Scripture if any spoke to them in their time or asked them any Question while they were speaking forth the Scriptures a Law to send them to Prison and say they did disturb them was they of such a perverse Generation that spoke forth the Scriptures by a Law did they cause them to suffer that opposed the Prophets and the Apostles as you doe who doth professe the words that were given forth from them that were prisoned and contradicted you with your Law to prison them that witnesse the Life and are in the Life that gave forth the Scriptures and with your Law holds up them which hath their words but not their Life as their fruits doth make it appear therefore some examples such as bear rule by their means were cryed against with them who were in the Life and such as seeke for their gaine from their Quarter and such as are Hirelings and seeke for the fleece and such as stands praying in the Synagogues and are called of men Masters and hath the chiefest seat in the Assemblies and such as sue men at the Law which are not wise men and such as goe in Cain's and Balaams way such were cryed against with the life that gave forth the Scriptures which used their tongues and said the Lord saith when the Lord had not spoken to them And such as have gotten the Saints words and talke of them for money and must be maintained by a Law and must have a house maintained by poore people when as the Life that gave forth the Scriptures testified against such things and now it comes to be made manifest what men you doe hold up and justifie FINIS

and are observers of times but sees him not where he is manifested and makes a mock at his messengers which are his witnesses and stone them in your streets and casts them into holes and dungeons corners and prisons and houses of correction and whipping them and beating them in your ma●kets stripping naked setting your dogs upon them and tearing their cloaths beating them with cudgels and casting dirt upon them who are made white through the blood of the Lamb and haling them out of your Synagogues before Magistrates and Counsels and chief Priests them which witnesse the everlasting Priest And here you are they that fulfill Christs words who said they should h●le you before Rulers and scourge you in Synagogues and Counsels and Christ is now manifest the same that ever was and you are made manifest to be the Generation to oppose him who makes war against him and the son of man now raigns Christ Jesus amongst his children that learn of him who heareth the Prophet that Moses spoke off and every one that will not hear this Prophet is to be cut off and now many that will not hear this Prophet are numbred to the sword And you that deny the light that Christ Jesus hath enlightned every man that comes into the world withall that th●ough him all might believe So you that deny this light which Christ hath enlightned every one that comes into the world withall you do not beleive but calls it a naturall light who are in your naturall state and stumbleth at the Light and are blinde and led with the blinde and so shall bo●h go into the ditch So Christs Reign you know not which receives not the Light which enlightneth every man that comes into the world that through him they might beleeve So every one owning the Light which cometh from Christ it will bring you to hear the true Prophet and learn of him so with the Light you will come to see Christ Jesus Gods righteousnesse now you that do stumble and deny the Light which comes from Christ Jesus which is Gods righteosnesse if you professe any righteousnesse being in that state driven from God it is your own righteousnesse though you may professe all the Saints words and the Prophets and Christs words and the holy men of God and deny the Light which comes from Christ you stumble at Gods righteousnesse and deny it that denies the Light which comes from Christ which lightneth every one that comes into the world and are all found in your own Righteousnesse And you that deny that Christ Jesus is the Light of the world and enlightens every one that comes into the world and do not own the Light you are in your will worships and all your worships are in your wills and are to be condemned with the Light and so you be all in he state of wrath and darknesse droven from God shut up in unbeliefe will worship and self righteousnesse your own works and are not yet come to own the Son of God who lightneth every one that cometh into the world that through him all may beleeve God who is light drove man from him so he being in darknesse and in the earth and under the power of Satan God sending his Son his Light into the world which is the Light of the word which lighteth every man that cometh into the world that all men through him might beleive and learn of Christ and hear him who is the true Prophet and he that doth not believe in the Son of God the Light is condemned already with the Light for this is the condemnation the light saith Christ Jesus and he that hears not this Prophet shall be cut off Also a Paper speaking of the two Seeds DEare Brethren and Sisters in the visible life which hath been hid from ages but now is made manifest in the Son by the revelation of his coming in this life am I one with you and doth dearly sallute you all farewell Upon the first day of the week being the 24th day of the 4 month the word of the Lord came unto me saying thus saith the Lord If ye my dear children whom I have convine't by my pure Light in your consciences will hearken to my counsel and will stand in my fear then shall my secrets be made known unto you and you shall grow up in the knowledge of me as calves of the stall and my knowledge shall cover the whole earth as the waters cover the Sea and the earth shall be removed out of its place and the mountaines under which my pure seed suffers will I remove by my mighty power saith the Lord of hosts and I will raise up the mountaine of my holinesse and establish it on the top of the mountains and ye shall become the glory of the whole earth and ye shall be called Sion the City of the living God the habitation of my holinesse from whence my pure and righteous Law shall go forth which shall cut down all the unrighteous Laws made in the will of man which are turned from my pure Light in the conscience and righteousnesse and truth shall k●sse each other and run down the Nations like a mighty stream and violence and oppression shall cease and the rod of the wicked will I remove from off your backs and their heavy yoakes and bonds which have been made as bulwarks to keep my pure seed in bondage will I by my mighty power break in sunder and the oppressed will I set free and the wilde beasts of the field which ye have long been a p●ey unto will I cause to cease out of your land and you shall be no more a rep●oach to the heathen saith the Lord but ye shall become a ter●our and a dread to all your enemies and I will mul●iply my blessings upon you and will establish my Covenant with you even the sure mercies of David and I will write my pure Law in your hearts and ye shall not depart from me neither shall you need to say to any man know the Lord for ye shall all know me from the least even to the greatest and an open fountaine will I be unto you as you abide in my pure fear to cleanse you from your sins and to refresh my own in every one of you and I will be unto you as the former and the latter raine in its due season and you shall sit under your own vine which is Christ in you and eat of your own fruit and none shall make you afraid and ye shall be my sheep and the flock of my pasture and ye shall be no longer a prey to the Idoll Shepheards who have sed themselves but not my flock therefore will I feed them with Judgement and by my mighty power will I redeem you out of their mouths and I will be your alone Shepheard and you shall be my people saith the Lord of hosts And this is witnessed by many who have not thought their lives dear unto them
