A34997	A plain path-vvay opened to the simple-hearted for the answering all doubts & objections which do arise in them against the light and truth in the inward parts, by which many are kept from obedience and so from peace to their panting souls / by Stephen Crisp.	Crisp, Stephen, 1628-1692.	1688 (1688)	Wing C6938; ESTC R29744	13,460	16

World to come Life Everlasting Forsaking and Self-denial hath always been the way to Life and to true Blessedness and is the way unto this day And therefore all you who have wandred in your own ways and have not yet learned to deny your selves of what is contrary to the Witness of God in your Consciences but have desires and that strong ones too to keep and hold that still which the Light in you doth reprove and yet have desires of Life and Peace too and so are in many doubts and straits about these things To you all this is the Counsel of the Lord and the cry of his pure Spirit Come out of the Babylonish Confusion of your own thoughts and touch not that which is unclean and the Lord will receive you And what God by his pure Spirit hath called unclean let no man presume to call clean and to joyn to it lest they be found fighting against God and nourishing and keeping that a live which God hath appointed to die and be destroyed ye cannot serve two Masters nor pertake of the Table of the Lord and the Table of Devils Oh! seed not that birth that hungers after evil things and delights in them but what is for famine let it be famished and what is for the Sword let the two-edged Sword that goeth out of the mouth of the faithfull and true Witness cut it down Rev. 1.16 and 3.14 And so thou mayst see the Gyants in the Land slain before thee by one that is mighty to deliver and to bring thee out of this Spiritual Egypt with a high hand But this thou canst not come to witness but by diligent following him and if thou willingly yieldst to his gentle drawings when thou feelest them in thy heart thou wilt find them to be effectual and profitable to thy Soul and the more thou followest him the more thou wilt feel his goodness break in upon thee for thy encouragement and the less thou wilt doubt of his love and mercy in leading thee still farther even unto the end and unto that Rest which will satisfie thy Soul Therefore lay aside all Consultations that are against thy Obedience to the Gift of God in thy heart which reproves Sin in thee and give not way to vain and needless doubts about it but as thou findst that thou hast been condemned judged in thy disobeying of it now try and prove whether by taking up thy daily Cross and obeying of it in thy words and actions and in all things if thou dost not find the answer of sweet peace and joy and when thou shalt find it so then will there be no more room for doubts and questionings against thy obeying of it but as any Questions or Doubts do arise in thee or shall be cast in thy way by any without thee thou wilt feel the answer of it in thy self to thy refreshing and so thou wilt come to witness the effectual operation of it daily in thy Soul to work thy change and translation out of thy self into it self and so thou wilt come not only to know the Light in thee for that one may do and perish For this is the Condemnation that Light is come and not loved but thou wilt know that thou art in the Light and walkest there with God and in the holy Fellowship where thou feelst the Lord near thee in his Light and his Reward is with him and so coming to walk and dwell in the Light thy Conversation is now in Heaven as the Saints of old was and thy unity is witnessed with the Father and the Son as theirs was who said If we walk in the Light as he is in the Light they had fellowship with him and if any said they had fellowship and walked in Darkness which all Sinners do for Sin is the work of it such they said were Lyars And such as walk in the Light as he is in the Light such come to know the Blood that cleanseth and washeth from the Sin and from all Vnrighteousness And such as feel this work wrought in them are brought into such a knowledge of the Blood of Christ that they need not doubt about it nor have they occasion to raise a question where it is or what it is nor what the efficacy of it is for having the work and witness of the Blood in them this forthwith resolves all doubts that would arise and so likewise those that come to know the Light in all things to be their Guide to lead out of Darkness and Sin and Imperfections and to bring into the Innocent and Blameless Conversation which becometh Saints and so come to know their footsteps directed before the Lord such have done doubting and questioning about Perfection for such see that which is perfect to be come and they from the belief which they have of attaining it are labouring to conform themselves unto that rule and endeavouring after it not as the carnal Professors who say they labour after a Conquest over their Sins with a belief they shall never attain it while they live but they so run that they may attain and have the true hope in them which they that have are purifying themselves as he is pure that is their hope as John said He that hath this hope in him purifieth himself as God is pure that so Even as he was in this present World so they may be also And so here the Substance will come and will cause the shadow to flee and will answer all thy Doubts and Questions far beyond what Arguments can do And again the many doubts and disputations that have arisen about the Resurrection as thou comest to be faithful in the daily Cross that doth slay and crucifie that nature in thee that hath resisted the Truth and held the Seed in bondage as that comes to die and to be buried down in the true Baptism into Christs Death thou wilt feel the Pure to spring up in thee and thou wilt be made a partaker of the new Life and the true Resurrection which is Christ and all that are in him are in the Resurrection and in the Life for he said I am the Resurrection and the Life he that believeth on me though he were dead yet shall he live and this living to God in the Spirit of his Son is the first Resurrection which whomsoever come to witness the second death hath no power over them but they come to know the thing as it is in Jesus and their doubts are all answered about that also for he that knows a death and Resurrection after this manner To be dead to Sin and to be risen with Christ Jesus in the new Life even while they are in this earthly Tabernacle before it is dissolved such will never question their appearing at the judgment Seat of God after it is dissolved but do believe it with joy and gladness and have a fervent hope concerning the Resurrection of the dead and have their expectation unto God in
