A58213	A real demonstration of the true order in the spirit of God and of the ground of all formality & idolatry, with a few words unto such as are concerned in it.	Smith, William, d. 1673.	1663 (1663)	Wing R456A; ESTC R31776	9,666	13

drawn off from them and entertains hard thoughts of them when their love and good-will is the same to your souls as ever And this I am sure that you have increased the travel of many though some of you do little regard it And Friends the Seed is known in the inward the fruit of it is manifest in the outward and thereby the Father is glorified and they that have taken foot downwards are truly changed into the nature of the Seed through the dislolution and death of the first body they again spring upwards in the resurrection life as the first born of life they shew forth living praise in perfect innocency And Friends I am not ignorant of that spirit which hath ensnared you but certainly knows from whence it comes whither it goes the end of it I know that it is not of God nor never must have any part in his Kingdom therefore I travel in the true Spirit of love which is the Spirit ofGod that such of you as are turned aside may not so turn your backs upon the Lord as to cause him utterly to cast you off but that you may speedily return unto him who in his long-suffering and patience waits that he may be gracious Therefore let your diligence be improved in watchfulness and wait that you may be of understanding hearts publish no more than you perfectly understand in the will of God for that will neither profit your selvs nor others You have given so much life to the fals birth by some of your writings as that the beasts of the field rise up to trample upon the precious truth of God consider of this for it will fall heavy in the latter end for it is an easie matter to get words to make a flourish in them as though som more excellent thing was attained and it is as easie a matter to cry down words as a dispensation below the Life but to declare words in the Life or come to silence in the life perfectly understand that it is so ordered by the Life in both this is such a secret as from the fleshly birth is hid but the true babes can sit read it in the Fathers bosom Oh it is a grief to the good Spirit of God to behold how words fly abroad as if people would prevail with their tongues and host with words som are crying down words endeavoring to lay aside that dispensation as being come to its period not considering that the love life of God hath its passage through the Vessel where he pleaseth and that the words are from the Word which is not to be limited I only justifie the innocent herein who in the Fathers will and time are ordered but such of you as can allow your own liberty in words and through the same hold forth an attainment above them you have your time in your own hand whilst you speak of all the precious vertues of the innocent life which are many yet with the same breath some of you are not afraid to speak rashly if not evil of such as are born of it and are cloathed with it who as noble Plants and Trees of righteousness which the Father hath planted do bear ripe fruit to his endless Glory unto whom you must come again who are gone from them if ever you come to enjoy ●ue peace for there is no whither else to go where true peace rest happiness can be found or attained And herein I have cleared my Conscience in the Fathers will in whose will I speak and in whose will I am silent both lying down rising up in his pleasure desiring that what is here manifested in his wil may not be rejected in your wills but that it may reach the meek lowly in you so be accepted by you as the loving kindness of the Lord be entertain'd in that love from which it doth proceed which is the love that beareth all things thinketh not ill in any thing WILLIAM SMITH IN the movings of pure love I most earnestly beseech intreat you all that in time you be warned and take heed of that spirit which in time past betrayed the innocent with a kiss and in these days doth take to it self a term of general love to all and also pretends a liberty in an inward ground which is not to be limited to any outward thing which spirit from a good understanding I do declare to be in the ground thereof the general very enmity unto the begotten of God in all under which many tender hearts in their simplicity may lie captivated as yet understand it not even as once it was with me until I was so far benighted that as that spirit transformed into light I in the darkness wandred after it but finding that it led to no true rest the innocent cryed unto its God his ear was open unto it by his grace I now am that I am that I now am is the same which in measure I was in the beginning when the begotten of God in me simply breathed after him and I have now true unity in the Faith with the chosen of God and with them do partake of his vertuous life in the sence of which I desire that you may speedily return unto your first love in which is true joy 〈◊〉 everlasting peace which no transformed spirit hath to give nor power to take away I could have spoken more fully in particulars but a clear information is manifested unto you who have an ear to hear and I am at present eased rests in the will of God ELISABETH NEVVTON IN the unity of the love and life of God we do give in our testimony for God having our selves been somtimes in bondage unto that spirit which leads into a liberty out of the order of God and in that state we looked upon our selves to be in an inward ground and looked upon such as with the true Light was guided to be more formal and legal in what they practiced to be no higher than Moses administration and here we had layed an inward g●●●d in a wrong spirit and our belief was placed in it wherein we could allow to our selves the liberty of using or not using such things as stood in outward practice looked upon them all to be far below our liberty but under our liberty the innocent sat in sorrow and such was the love of God unto us as in due time his own Arm reached to the oppressed his right hand hath done valiantly for us and mighty things he hath brought to pass and in his Light we are gathered amongst the Babes of his Kingdome where we have a part portion in his peace and blessing And therefore in faithfulness unto God and in love to your souls we warn you all who with this spirit is taken to submit to the power and spirit of life and fly from this spirit
