A89843 Love to the lost: and a hand held forth to the helpless, to lead out of the dark. Wherein is plainly held out divers perticular things, as they are learned of Christ; and are most needfull to be known of all who profess godliness. Set forth chiefly for the directing the simple into the living way of truth, as it is in Christ Jesus, the Righteous, that therein they may come to the life and power of that which the world hath in words; which being received, satisfies the weary soul, and makes the creature wel-pleasing to his maker. Wherein also there is some reproofs to the dark world. / By one that seeks the redemption of Sions seed, and a lover of the creation of God, who is called James Naylor. Naylor, James, 1617?-1660. 1656 (1656) Wing N294; Thomason E866_2; ESTC R207630 74,213 79

in_o bondage_n concern_v justification_n sanctification_n and_o mortification_n the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n in_o the_o fall_n find_v these_o several_a word_n in_o scripture_n have_v in_o their_o

the_o justifier_n and_o sanctifier_n of_o all_o that_o believe_v and_o the_o mortifier_n of_o that_o nature_n which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o faith_n and_o one_o of_o these_o be_v not_o alone_o

will_v exclude_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n also_o and_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v god_n justify_v the_o ungodly_a through_o faith_n therefore_o they_o conclude_v themselves_o justify_v in_o their_o ungodliness_n by_o a_o fancy_n which_o they_o call_v faith_n but_o be_v without_o faith_n in_o christ_n for_o that_o faith_n which_o lay_v not_o hold_v upon_o god_n
