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.

and_o great_a travel_n and_o many_o temptation_n and_o trial_n within_o and_o without_o but_o the_o great_a enemy_n be_v yet_o within_o i_o which_o will_v upon_o every_o hardship_n be_v temper_v

it_o must_v be_v sanctify_v and_o set_v free_a and_o i_o come_v to_o see_v that_o if_o i_o have_v be_v in_o his_o company_n here_o on_o earth_n as_o long_o as_o his_o disciple_n be_v in_o the_o

that_o this_o son_n of_o god_n do_v not_o appear_v in_o any_o within_o or_o without_o but_o as_o he_o conform_v they_o to_o his_o own_o image_n which_o he_o have_v always_o bear_v in_o this_o world_n as_o say_v the_o scripture_n when_o he_o shall_v appear_v we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o who_o shall_v change_v our_o vile_a body_n and_o make_v they_o like_o his_o glorious_a body_n from_o glory_n to_o glory_n by_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o herein_o we_o have_v boldness_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n because_o as_o he_o be_v so_o be_v we_o in_o this_o present_a world_n and_o this_o be_v
