A89860 What the possession of the living faith is, and the fruits thereof and wherein it hath been found to differ from the dead faith of the world, in the learning and following of Christ in the regeneration. With an opening of Light to all sorts of people that waits for the Kingdom of God; and a candle lighted to give the sight of the good old way of God, from the wayes that now ensnares the simple. Written by James Naylor in the time of his imprisonment, and now published by a friend. Naylor, James, 1617?-1660. 1659 (1659) Wing N328; ESTC R205424 58,748 72

any_o share_n or_o possession_n in_o he_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v not_o holy_a come_v not_o from_o god_n and_o so_o can_v build_v up_o to_o god_n that_o be_v not_o save_v faith_n that_o do_v not_o save_v from_o sin_n but_o be_v deceive_a faith_n which_o deceive_v the_o soul_n and_o suffer_v lust_n to_o defile_v it_o and_o destroy_v it_o and_o so_o bring_v it_o under_o condemnation_n by_o believe_v lie_n and_o so_o let_v in_o sin_n upon_o the_o soul_n by_o consent_n persuade_v that_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o and_o so_o give_v the_o devil_n victory_n and_o the_o world_n victory_n and_o the_o flesh_n victory_n and_o sin_n victory_n over_o the_o soul_n which_o shall_v give_v the_o soul_n victory_n over_o all_o and_o what_o great_a deceit_n can_v there_o be_v to_o the_o soul_n than_o this_o be_v and_o therefore_o for_o ever_o that_o which_o i_o have_v see_v and_o learn_v do_v i_o declare_v open_o that_o this_o be_v the_o deceive_a faith_n indeed_o rather_o unbelief_n than_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n which_o make_v way_n for_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n to_o reign_v and_o act_n in_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o creature_n and_o the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o faith_n which_o give_v way_n to_o the_o least_o sin_n be_v not_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n who_o work_n and_o come_n be_v to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o redeem_v the_o soul_n from_o sin_n and_o the_o least_o measure_n of_o that_o faith_n that_o stand_v in_o his_o life_n overcome_v the_o world_n and_o sin_n in_o that_o measure_n and_o he_o that_o commit_v sin_n go_v out_o of_o that_o faith_n and_o act_n against_o it_o and_o a_o lie_a faith_n i_o have_v find_v that_o to_o be_v which_o persuade_v the_o soul_n of_o freedom_n from_o condemnation_n but_o give_v it_o not_o freedom_n from_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o condemnation_n and_o all_o shall_v witness_v this_o with_o i_o now_o or_o hereafter_o that_o where_o sin_n have_v power_n there_o death_n have_v power_n and_o the_o grave_n and_o hell_n and_o condemnation_n have_v power_n also_o for_o these_o be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n then_o shall_v you_o say_v you_o be_v deceive_v who_o believe_v the_o contrary_a and_o may_v not_o such_o true_o be_v say_v to_o be_v past_a feel_n indeed_o who_o can_v commit_v sin_n and_o feel_v no_o condemnation_n for_o it_o already_o and_o this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o false_a faith_n to_o harden_v themselves_o against_o the_o faithful_a witness_n of_o god_n in_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o the_o sear_a conscience_n have_v make_v ship_n wrack_n of_o the_o faith_n christ_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n preach_v the_o faith_n of_o devil_n to_o give_v way_n to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o all_o sin_n be_v from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a and_o he_o that_o plead_v for_o it_o be_v a_o father_n to_o it_o and_o he_o that_o commit_v it_o a_o servant_n and_o may_v look_v for_o the_o wage_n thereof_o if_o he_o repent_v not_o notwithstanding_o he_o believe_v the_o contrary_n and_o many_o may_v feel_v this_o truth_n at_o this_o day_n who_o have_v a_o long_a time_n believe_v with_o this_o faith_n deceive_v their_o own_o soul_n day_n after_o day_n believe_v they_o shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v when_o they_o be_v condemn_v already_o in_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o feel_v the_o weight_n of_o sin_n daily_o press_v their_o soul_n and_o burden_v the_o pure_a conscience_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o sin_n keep_v their_o soul_n still_o in_o bondage_n and_o lie_v upon_o they_o all_o their_o life_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v force_v themselves_o to_o believe_v contrary_a to_o holy_a faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o they_o be_v save_v and_o redeem_v and_o thus_o make_v ship_n wrack_n of_o save_a faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n by_o believe_v a_o lie_n contrary_a to_o their_o own_o daily_a feel_n no_o other_o thing_n to_o encourage_v they_o therein_o but_o this_o persuasion_n which_o suit_n well_o with_o such_o as_o take_v pleasure_n in_o unrighteousness_n which_o persuasion_n come_v not_o of_o god_n but_o condemn_v by_o that_o of_o god_n in_o themselves_o and_o this_o be_v the_o state_n of_o many_o at_o this_o day_n though_o some_o there_o be_v who_o conscience_n be_v sear_v and_o feel_v not_o this_o witness_n live_v in_o they_o though_o their_o damnation_n slumber_v not_o though_o they_o have_v lose_v their_o call_v and_o election_n also_o and_o this_o have_v i_o learn_v in_o christ_n that_o

for_o that_o which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v of_o his_o own_o nature_n clean_a pure_a and_o perfect_a as_o be_v all_o his_o gift_n and_o so_o it_o work_v natural_o the_o work_n and_o will_n of_o god_n in_o all_o who_o receive_v it_o free_o and_o mix_v nothing_o with_o it_o to_o darken_v it_o or_o stop_v his_o work_n and_o by_o this_o faith_n i_o be_o save_v from_o sin_n and_o condemnation_n and_o beget_v to_o the_o father_n thereof_o in_o christ_n jesus_n which_o faith_n be_v not_o of_o myself_o but_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o perfect_a holiness_n in_o the_o fight_n of_o god_n and_o what_o ever_o be_v do_v in_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o sin_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v against_o this_o faith_n or_o not_o of_o this_o faith_n be_v sin_n and_o bring_v

that_o it_o be_v not_o my_o own_o work_n but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o this_o effect_n have_v save_a work_a faith_n and_o this_o be_v its_o nature_n and_o grace_n but_o another_o faith_n i_o have_v find_v which_o be_v not_o so_o in_o nature_n or_o effect_n be_v not_o free_o receive_v from_o above_o but_o be_v feign_v and_o have_v its_o ground_n here_o below_o and_o its_o end_n also_o the_o earthly_a man_n in_o his_o wisdom_n from_o the_o letter_n reason_n or_o comprehension_n set_v up_o a_o opinion_n or_o image_n in_o his_o mind_n touch_v

to_o believe_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o and_o so_o form_v a_o faith_n in_o himself_o and_o though_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o perfect_a when_o he_o have_v form_v it_o and_o make_v it_o with_o all_o his_o strength_n but_o many_o thing_n in_o scripture_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o saint_n but_o especial_o that_o of_o god_n in_o his_o own_o conscience_n will_v not_o suit_v with_o it_o yet_o the_o strong_a man_n be_v above_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o comprehension_n force_v a_o faith_n against_o all_o these_o and_o cause_n all_o to_o bow_v under_o it_o so_o this_o faith_n bring_v not_o forth_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n nor_o his_o pure_a image_n and_o life_n neither_o in_o matter_n of_o worship_n nor_o manner_n but_o what_o he_o may_v imitate_v christ_n and_o the_o

for_o the_o rest_n he_o believe_v it_o concern_v not_o he_o now_o in_o all_o thing_n at_o this_o day_n so_o to_o walk_v as_o they_o do_v and_o as_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o perfect_a in_o worship_n so_o in_o practice_n also_o for_o that_o evil_a he_o be_v not_o addict_v to_o he_o condemn_v in_o all_o but_o that_o which_o be_v in_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o eye_n and_o bring_v he_o profit_n and_o pleasure_n that_o he_o will_v cover_v and_o believe_v it_o may_v stand_v with_o true_a belief_n at_o this_o day_n though_o former_o it_o can_v not_o and_o this_o be_v the_o faith_n make_v after_o

under_o the_o foot_n of_o jesus_n that_o spirit_n but_o be_v earthly_a by_o nature_n have_v earthly_a effect_n and_o god_n do_v not_o own_o that_o with_o his_o power_n nor_o go_v forth_o with_o that_o which_o
which_o he_o have_v of_o god_n betrust_v in_o he_o and_o not_o by_o his_o own_o strive_n in_o the_o thought_n of_o himself_o his_o worth_n or_o wisdom_n and_o in_o diligent_a harken_v and_o obey_v of_o the_o spirit_n have_v i_o find_v the_o right_a faithfulness_n towards_o god_n though_o get_v knowledge_n be_v high_o esteem_v with_o man_n and_o i_o have_v find_v that_o as_o i_o have_v the_o
