A52725 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 : also a message from the spirit of truth unto the holy seed who are chosen out of the world, and are lovers and followers of the light / written by J.N. in the time of his imprisonment, and now (the second time) published by a Friend.

that_o faith_n save_v not_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n through_o lust_n and_o so_o be_v but_o a_o conceit_n of_o salvation_n and_o not_o the_o power_n of_o salvation_n

which_o work_v not_o thus_o be_v like_o a_o body_n without_o a_o spirit_n which_o be_v dead_a but_o the_o live_a faith_n that_o stand_v in_o christ_n jesus_n that_o spirit_n purify_v the_o heart_n

not_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o end_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o conversation_n that_o to_o the_o world_n he_o may_v be_v manifest_a in_o life_n and_o power_n to_o be_v the_o

for_o ever_o without_o any_o more_o controversy_n that_o the_o faith_n that_o admit_v of_o sin_n be_v not_o christ_n frith_n nor_o have_v 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

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 and_o 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

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 here_o death_n have_v power_n and_o the_o grave_a 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 yond_o say_v you_o be_v deceive_v who_o believe_v the_o contrary_a

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 shipwreck_n of_o the_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
