A74895	A discovery of faith; wherein is laid down the ground of true faith, which sanctifieth and purifieth the heart, and worketh out the carnal part. Shewing the way that leadeth to salvation: with the difference betwixt the two seeds, the one of Mount Sinai, which tendeth to bondage; and the other, which is the immortal seed of God, begotten by the immortal word, which liveth and abideth for ever. Being as Isaac was, the childe of the promise, and of Jerusalem which is from above ... The difference betwixt the living word and the letter.	R. F. (Richard Farnworth), d. 1666.; Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1653 (1653)	Thomason E703_6**	16,669	16

freely out of the Fathers love freely receive life and love and shew forth life and love to God again by giving up to him all you have and all you are for Christs sake that so you may come to receive all again with Christ who is the fulness of the Fathers love and in him are all good things needfull for this life and that which is to come even the earnest of your inheritance which none can take from you which once being received you shall never hunger more having a wel spring within even the witness of eternal life and love and as Christ appears who is our life and love so shall life and love appear spring blossom and bring forth fruit towards God and man that so being raised with him from death and dead works you may henceforth live unto God and being brought into oneness with him and purity and holiness you may be one amongst your selves of one heart and one minde speaking one and the self same thing and having the same care one for another as for your selves And take heed that there be not in any of you a principle of self-love which once having will lead to separation and division casting a stumbling block in the way of the simple and so they that are weak being defiled and turned back into the world And I beseech you brethren that you mark them that once set their faces towards Sion but not being willing to deny the world and take up the Cross have consulted with flesh and blood and turned back into Egypt again of such take heed knowing that the same spirit that hath wrought in them deceitfully will not cease to work by them to deceive others to maintain its own Kingdom but you standing fast in the pure light of Christ you shall see whither these return and the cause of their returnings and that the end of such is worse then the beginning but there must be such that they who are approved may be made manifest But you my Brethren be ye so far from following such that their falling away may cause you to watch and search by what power you stand and so a pure fear may be preserved in you by which you may be kept in the way that leads to the Crown which is immortall for it is he that overcomes that must wear the Crown wherefore faint not nor think any thing hard the Lord cals unto you nothing must suffer but that which is to die that your souls may live O your light affliction worketh for you a far more exceeding weight of glory while you keep your eye to that which is invisible wherefore give up your selves to his will in all things Stand in the will of God in your present condition you are my joy in the Lord let ny benelste refreshed to hear of your stedfas●ness and growth in the Truth Take heed of propounding ends to your selves in any thing for that leads out of the way of God and gives way to your own wisdom and so you seek to preserve that alive which is appointed for death and so you maintain war against God and knows not and in this condition you can have no peace while the enemies are in arms against your peace O dear Friends you are in my heart my prayer to God for you is that you may be kept blameless to the ceming of our Lord Jesus Christ blessed for ever My fellow prisoner and dear companion in the Lord salutes you all Cease not to pray for us that we may be kept to his praise who hath counted us worthy to suffer for his Name we are well and in great peace kept in our Fathers love above all we are often brought to stand and wonder how we are kept in the midst of the fire and yet not consumed and the more that the enemy rages the more are we kept in peace within Here are strange Devices used to insnare us to get ought against us true or false but all is Ordered by a power the World knows not God is our strength Rejoyce with us all dear Friends and praise his Name for evermore for he is worthy for his Mercy endures for ever JAMES NAYLER A Prisoner at Appleby in Westmorland for the Truths sake FINIS

is the VVord that lets see that flesh is grass and this is the VVord which was before any Letter was written and all who have not this VVord puts the Letter for the Word and are in Cains nature envying and murdering running on swiftly and Cains sacrifice God doth not accept and all the Preaching and all the Praying and all your Reading and all your Singing and all your Expounding and all your Churches and all your Worships and all your Teachers and all your Baptismes which are invented from the Letter the carnall minde invents them all this is for the fire your profession must be gathered together in bundles and cast into the fire for they are the works of the flesh proceeding from the first nature not knowing the Word of God but only the Letter ye crucifie the just and ye get up in the justs place quenching the light within you the deceipt transforms in his place as Cain did when he slew his brothen Abell he gets up into his brothers place and said Am I my Brothers keeper so all you who crucify the just ye are as Cain for it is the righteous that God doth accept the second birth As you read Cains sacrifice God did not accept but Abel the second God did accept for he was righteous And Cain slew Abel because Abels works were righteous and Cains were evil now all you who are in the first birth are Cain in envy manslayers and your sacrifice God doth not accept see whether you be in envy or no now all that come to the Word come before Cain was All the Prophets of the Lord spoke from this Word and then the false Prophets got the true Prophets form of words but had not the Word then the Lord sent his Prophets which had his Word to cry against the Prophets that spoke a Divination of their own brain and steal my Word from their Neighbor and use their tongue and say the Lord saith when the Lord hath not spoken unto them and as it was then so it is now all the Teachers of the World speak a Divination of their own brain and not from the mouth of the Lord the Lord is against them now I witnesse it by the same Word as ever was and so they draw people unto the Letter and tels them it is the Word and to hearken to them who speak their vain imaginations of it so they bear rule by their meanes over the poor people which the Lord was ever against for God is free and he wil have his people so and his Gospell is a free Gospell and his mercies are free and his Grace is free his Gospell is free to every Creature and his Grace is free to every Creature his Grace is not the letter the Gospel is not the letter his glad tydings is not the letter for many poor troubled Souls may lie in death and condemnation and have the Letter And these Teachers of the Letter and there lay wounded but no peace till Jesus Christ come the glad tydings the free Gospell then will you witness with me That the Gospell is a free Gospel and not to be bought and sold for mony and the grace of God is free Ho every one that thirsteth come to the water of life he that hath no money come buy wine and milk without money and without price And hearken diligently that your souls may live And I will make an everlasting Covenant with you even the sure mercies of David So all people consider and see if you can witness your Souls are raised out of death and you brought into this everlasting Covenant for who can witness their Souls brought out of death are come into the beginning but thou that hast nothing but the Letter and are spending thy money and thy labor and not satisfied spending thy money for that which is not bread thou art following the greedy dumb Doggs which never have enough Baals priests which have forsaken the right way going after the error of Baalam running after the way of Cain who loved the wages of unrighteousness who ever slew the just in the particular despiseth the birthright Cain like slaying the righteous and who sayes it in the particular the same nature slayes it in the generall where the righteous Seed guides and rules and is the head so the generation of Cain is but one which is the first birth Now loving the light it will guide you to God from all men that you need never look at man more That the Ministers of Christ many of them were Tradesmen and no Masters TO all who are ignorant and blind people who a long time have been deceived by blind guides who have told you that Learned men and Scholars must open the Scriptures which is a thing contrary to the Scripture and crosseth the Scriptures to say so for there was not many of them learned in the Letter and spoke forth the life of the Scriptures which made learned men to wonder Paul was a learned man but while he was in that condition he was an enemy to Christ and that hinderd but he was a strict Pharisee and a Persecuter and when he knew Jesus Christ he denyed all his learning and then hee spoke forth the Scriptures He was a Tentmaker Amos a Herdsman a keeper of carrell and the Apostles many of them Fishermen These gave forth the Scriptures these were the Ministers of God made by God not by man David Moses and Jacob were keepers of sheep and such as these spoke forth the Scriptures They were plain men keepers of cattel Elisha was a ploughman these were plain men and those were an abomination to the Egiptians would it not be an abominable thing and abomination to you who are Egiptians and in the Egiptian-wisdom to see a shepherd or a Tent-maker come and preach or a Fisherman to come and preach which was not learned or a Herdsman come among you and preach in the Kings Chappel as Amos did and they would not let him and yet yee will make a trade of his words or to see a man come from the Plough or a Thresher preach such kinde of men as these gave forth the Scriptures taught of God not brought up and taught and learned by the will of man for by that learning no man knows God but that knowledg lifts up in pride and makes them Masters and lord it over people and creatures but who are made ministers by the will of God and not by the will of man are Servants to all Now here is a distinction between the Ministers of the world and the Ministers of God the one is Masters over all the other is Servants to all and they who are in their own will set up the Ministers made by the will of man and denies them who are made Ministers by the will of God and they who are made Ministers by the will of man say that the Letter which is carnall is the light and that the Letter is the
