A89849 A salutation to the seed of God. And a call out of Babylon, and Egypt, from amongst the magitians, where the house of bondage is, and the imaginations rules above the seed of God, the cause of all blindnes, and condemnation. Also that which is perfect made manifest, even everlasting righteousnesse, which endures for all generations, ... With the way to him, set forth most for such as groan for freedome from the power of sin; but may be serviceable to all who loves his appearance. Also a testimony from Christ what he is in this world, and where he is; ... Also a suite to such rulers, magistrates, and governours, as have not wholly hardened their hearts, and stopt the eare against the voyce of the spirit, that they may hear and their soules may live, and be established a blessing to the nations. With some things more added to this second impression. / Written in love to all your soules, by him who is called James Naylor. Naylor, James, 1617?-1660. 1655 (1655) Wing N310; Thomason E852_25 31,397 40

now_o read_v all_o the_o scripture_n and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o covenant_n but_o this_o covenant_n of_o light_n and_o this_o be_v the_o life_n which_o be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n

both_o which_o the_o light_n discover_v as_o it_o arise_v in_o all_o who_o in_o it_o believe_v and_o wait_v and_o if_o you_o abide_v in_o the_o light_n you_o will_v see_v none_o can_v curse_v what_o
