A60448	To all that want peace with God to the sheep everywhere not brought home, ... plainly published, concerning the way of life, and of the gradual comings forth of death through law ... / ... Humphry Smith.	Smith, Humphrey, d. 1663.	1660 (1660)	Wing S4079; ESTC R6668	14,712	19

God and he is the beginning and the end and he leadeth to the beginning of Gods Worship and he is the end and the Rest of all the faithful in whom all the promises are yea and Amen and without him all is as nothing and all that come before him are thieves and robbers and he it is that abideth a Priest for ever and his spirit of truth is it which all people and professors whatsoever should first wait to receive thereby to be led into that true spiritual worship which alone God accepteth lest they and their worship and building fall together in a day when there is none to deliver And then thus I will Query If Christs own dear Disciples who had forsook all and followed him not Priests or Baptists did not come to receive this spirit by hearing all the words which he spoke unto them but by waiting after the words were ended then whether those that have not forsaken all nor so much as the worlds fashions do now come to receive the Spirit by Reading Hearing or Professing the same words of Christ now written or any other part of Scriptures Or whether a proud man hath received this Spirit or a lyar or a prophane person or any wise or prudent man whatsoever by any means or way of his and whether any such ever did have can or may by any industry or other way or means attain to this spirit which leadeth in the true Worship of God but as it is freely given forth from God and then whether all people are not to be led by that spirit which God freely giveth into the Worship of God because Christ said the spirit should lead which indeed doth lead into all truth and nothing else doth so And they that hath not received this from God to lead them are not yet come to be led by that which the Sons and Children of God were and are led by And the Ministration of the Spirit which all are now to be taught by is inwardly to be known in the nearest secret invisible manner and is more out of the sight comprehension and reach of mans wisdome than any other Ministration and it is given forth from the clear fountain it self unto the souls satisfaction of man when he is come to the end of words or having heard much or all the words that can be spoken of it remaineth unsatisfied in a restless longing desire to find receive feel and enjoy the thing it self which the words declared of and that which satisfieth the true thirsting soul comes clearly from God to the refreshing of the inward parrs of man and filling of the empty barren hungry spirit which cannot be satisfied without Gods in-dwellings and thus the disciples were led along and at last in a foolish way to the great Professors they waited among them in Jerusalem and the Lord had regard unto them and sent his own Spirit unto them and then they were filled with the Holy Ghost And the secret invisible hand of God whose power was is felt in my heart having out of the sight of flesh and blood in the hidden counsel of his secret will led me by the vertue of the opperation drawings thereof through those things which thereby I come to leave behind and to receive and feel that which now goeth before and is my leader in whose Covenant of life eternal my soul is now satisfied and so by good experience of the Lords leadings and from an experimental knowledge and sensible feeling and present enjoyment of the incomes of the Spirit of Truth and Life which filleth the inward parts with the holiness of it self and giveth power to do the things required before of God even from the right and good understanding thereof is this written That where it meets with the like condition in a weary Traveller it may answer its own and be helpful to the weak and feeble that such may not give over pressing forwards nor faint in their long travail though many Mountains on which they did nourish themselves for a time will not yield them Bread now yet that they may with me and the rest of the followers and friends of Christ past and present alwayes continue following the Spirit as it leads until the inward man be filled therewith and so power and strength from God come to be known and received in every particular For thus it is with Christs followers now they are not satisfied until they are filled with that which they heard of and their souls thirsted after and so it was with them then they were filled with what they wanted before and then from that which they were filled with they spoke forth and so they did teach the Nations and brought people under the power of God and Baptised them into that and dipt them into the Name of the Father and brought them under that which saveth from sin and plunged them into the holy Spirit and as they Teacht they did this Baptising as they did Teach and plunging them as their doctrine went forth into that which washeth and purifieth the Conscience from the filth and guilt of sin of which the outward Baptism was a Figure of this which saveth and so their Doctrine was from an inward life and proceeded from that which was invisible and so reached to that which wanted life in the Hearers and so brought up the power of God over them and them under it and into it for the word is Into and they were to bring People into the Name not water and they were to bring or Baptise them into the Name as they did Teach Go ye and Teach Baptising into Baptising is in the present Tense when they did Teach and so here the spiritual and inward Baptism goes along with the preaching of the Word of life which is inward and brings man to an inward injoyment of God being Baptised into his Name which is a strong Tower which preserveth from the power of the Devil and we all who are brought into this and are come in here are all by one spirit Baptised into one Body and so worship God in the spirit having the heart sprinkled from an evil Conscience by the washig of Regeneration in the Ministration of the Gospel of peace whereby there is a drawing nigh to God being brought into his Name and a free access to the Throne of that Grace which saveth from and out of all filthiness of flesh and spirit THE END
