A35136	Truth's principles: or, Those things about doctrine and worship, which are most surely believed and received amongst the people of God, called Quakers viz. concerning the man Christ, his sufferings, death, resurrection, faith in his blood, the imputation of his righteousness, sanctification, justification &c. Written, to stop the mouth of clamour, and to inform all who desire to know the truth as it is in Jesus; by the servant of the Lord, John Crook. To which is added, somewhat concerning the difference between the perswasions of reason, and the perswasions of faith.	Crook, John, 1617-1699.; Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1662 (1662)	Wing C7217; ESTC R204876	16,180	24

from the deep and true sence for then God out of the depths of his Love and Mercy could not but heal them and therefore lest the true Light should shine into them to give them the sensible knowledge of themselves and God should heal them the Devil as god of the world by the things of the world endeavours to blind the mind not the brain-knowledge but the hearty feeling sence within in the mind lest the Light within should so shine as God should heal them and all the busslings of Satan with his gifts are but to blind the mind within lest God should heal the soul that complains to him from the true sight and sence of his misery as in himself By this Grace and Gift within we believe that to us though in the world there be Lords many and Gods many there is but ONE GOD the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ witnessed within man only by the Spirit of Truth that manifests both the Father and the Son and yet these three are one and agree in one and he that honours the Father honours the Son that proceeds from him and he that denies the Spirit denies both the Father and the Son and is Anti-Christ but he that believes in the Spirit and is led by it is the Son of God Rom. 8. 14. As many as are the Sons of God are led by the Spirit of God We believe the Scriptures bear witness unto and testifie of Christ but they say the Witness of God is greater than them the Spirit it self bearing witness with our spirits that we are the Sons of God for it is not the Scriptures without the Spirit nor the Spirit contrary to the Scriptures but the Spirit 's discovering the Will of God in the heart or opening of the Scriptures in its own time and way and not in or by the will of man but as it self pleaseth who searcheth all things even the deep things of God and manifests them unto the soul which giveth the perfect sound and saving knowledge for said Christ the Spirit shall take of mine and shew them unto you And as holy men gave forth the Scriptures 2 Pet. 1. 21. so holy men and they only come truly to understand them and not proud or ungodly men because their hearts and lives do not answer the hearts and lives of those that gave them forth as face answereth face in a glass And this we believe to be the reason why so long preaching by men of corrupt minds who have and do handle the words deceitfully for selfish ends and filthy lucre sake hath brought forth so little fruit and been to so little purpose except to their purses and bellies for bad they believed and therefore spoken and stood in God's counsel they should have profited their hearers Jer. 23. 21 22 23. to the end Through this Gift we believe that Christ Jesus the Son of God was manifest in the flesh in the fulness of time And this we know by the same Spirit by which our Fathers believed he should come and Abraham saw his day by the same do we believe he is come and do see his day as also by the Prophets and Apostles Writings which twofold cord is not easily broken We believe also according to the Scriptures of truth that this same Jesus hath God highly exalted and given him a Name above every Name that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have Everlasting Life and that there is not another Name whereby man can be saved than this Name of Jesus Christ nor is Remission of Sins to be Preached by any other Name But as we do not believe that the outward letters syllables are that Name that are to be bowed to by the outward knee no more than the letters or syllables in the words God or Spirit seeing the 〈…〉 God who is a Spirit 〈…〉 45. 23. but that Name which saves is the Power and Arm of God that brings Salvation from Sin and makes every soul that names it to depart from Iniquity This is that Name which was preached and which is preached through Faith in which Name remission of sin is obtained Therefore was the outward word Jesus given him as his outward name Thou shalt call his name JESUS for he shall save his People from their Sins Mark for he shall save c. So that which saves is the Name which is to be believed in which is that Arm of God that brings Salvation when no eye pitties neither is there any to help the Power of God that then saves is that Grace that comes from the fulness of Christ the Saviour And without this vertue Christ and Jesus are but empty names 1 Cor. 12. 3. No man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the holy Ghost We believe also that this Jesus died for or because of Sin and rose again for the Justification of those that believe in him as well as to manifest to all the world that he was the Son of God and that he thereby spoiled Principalities and Powers and triumphed over them openly and led captivity captive in his own person yet we believe and know by his Grace in our hearts that as his name Jesus without vertue and Power is but an empty word so his Dying without man's Conformity to his Death or being planted into the likeness thereof or being crucified with Christ as saith the Scripture Rom. 6. 2 3 4 5 6. Gal. 2. 20. will not profit man as unto the salvation of his soul no more than the naming of his outward name Jesus doth at this day make people to depart from iniquity For we believe and are sure that man must dye inwardly as well as Christ died outwardly and must be put to death in his flesh as Christ was in his for he that is in the flesh cannot please God Rom. 8. 8. neither cease from sin but he that is dead is freed from sin Rom. 6. 7. And yet mans dying unto sin and the root and principle of it in himself is so far from making void Christ's Death in his own person that it establisheth it to all those ends and purposes for which it was intended of the Father As the cures which the Physician doth manifest and establish his skill and ability so doth mans dying unto sin and self and living unto God manifest and establish the virtue and power of Christ's Death for as man manifests his being risen with Christ by his seeking the things that are above Col. 3. 1 2. so doth he manifest his knowledge of the Death of Christ by his being crucified with Christ and bearing about in his body the dyings of the Lord Jesus for as it is not an outward belief gathered from the letter that will change the heart and life though the judgment and opinion it may so is it not a belief from the history or letter only that can give man a saving knowledge of the Death of Christ but he must have the
