A74895	A discovery of faith; wherein is laid down the ground of true faith, which sanctifieth and purifieth the heart, and worketh out the carnal part. Shewing the way that leadeth to salvation: with the difference betwixt the two seeds, the one of Mount Sinai, which tendeth to bondage; and the other, which is the immortal seed of God, begotten by the immortal word, which liveth and abideth for ever. Being as Isaac was, the childe of the promise, and of Jerusalem which is from above ... The difference betwixt the living word and the letter.	R. F. (Richard Farnworth), d. 1666.; Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1653 (1653)	Thomason E703_6**	16,669	16

freely out of the Fathers love freely receive life and love and shew forth life and love to God again by giving up to him all you have and all you are for Christs sake that so you may come to receive all again with Christ who is the fulness of the Fathers love and in him are all good things needfull for this life and that which is to come even the earnest of your inheritance which none can take from you which once being received you shall never hunger more having a wel spring within even the witness of eternal life and love and as Christ appears who is our life and love so shall life and love appear spring blossom and bring forth fruit towards God and man that so being raised with him from death and dead works you may henceforth live unto God and being brought into oneness with him and purity and holiness you may be one amongst your selves of one heart and one minde speaking one and the self same thing and having the same care one for another as for your selves And take heed that there be not in any of you a principle of self-love which once having will lead to separation and division casting a stumbling block in the way of the simple and so they that are weak being defiled and turned back into the world And I beseech you brethren that you mark them that once set their faces towards Sion but not being willing to deny the world and take up the Cross have consulted with flesh and blood and turned back into Egypt again of such take heed knowing that the same spirit that hath wrought in them deceitfully will not cease to work by them to deceive others to maintain its own Kingdom but you standing fast in the pure light of Christ you shall see whither these return and the cause of their returnings and that the end of such is worse then the beginning but there must be such that they who are approved may be made manifest But you my Brethren be ye so far from following such that their falling away may cause you to watch and search by what power you stand and so a pure fear may be preserved in you by which you may be kept in the way that leads to the Crown which is immortall for it is he that overcomes that must wear the Crown wherefore faint not nor think any thing hard the Lord cals unto you nothing must suffer but that which is to die that your souls may live O your light affliction worketh for you a far more exceeding weight of glory while you keep your eye to that which is invisible wherefore give up your selves to his will in all things Stand in the will of God in your present condition you are my joy in the Lord let ny benelste refreshed to hear of your stedfas●ness and growth in the Truth Take heed of propounding ends to your selves in any thing for that leads out of the way of God and gives way to your own wisdom and so you seek to preserve that alive which is appointed for death and so you maintain war against God and knows not and in this condition you can have no peace while the enemies are in arms against your peace O dear Friends you are in my heart my prayer to God for you is that you may be kept blameless to the ceming of our Lord Jesus Christ blessed for ever My fellow prisoner and dear companion in the Lord salutes you all Cease not to pray for us that we may be kept to his praise who hath counted us worthy to suffer for his Name we are well and in great peace kept in our Fathers love above all we are often brought to stand and wonder how we are kept in the midst of the fire and yet not consumed and the more that the enemy rages the more are we kept in peace within Here are strange Devices used to insnare us to get ought against us true or false but all is Ordered by a power the World knows not God is our strength Rejoyce with us all dear Friends and praise his Name for evermore for he is worthy for his Mercy endures for ever JAMES NAYLER A Prisoner at Appleby in Westmorland for the Truths sake FINIS
