A89860 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.

of_o that_o spirit_n in_o the_o way_n i_o have_v make_v void_a my_o hope_n of_o glory_n the_o work_n of_o my_o redemption_n and_o that_o which_o christ_n do_v at_o jerusalem_n as_o to_o i_o and_o

that_o through_o the_o scripture_n i_o may_v have_v hope_n see_v he_o go_v the_o same_o way_n before_o i_o there_o in_o which_o he_o now_o lead_v and_o that_o therein_o i_o may_v see_v he_o to_o be_v the_o same_o to_o all_o generation_n as_o he_o be_v there_o and_o in_o his_o saint_n that_o follow_v he_o and_o as_o they_o exhort_v one_o another_o to_o look_v unto_o he_o in_o their_o travel_n who_o be_v the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o to_o consider_v he_o as_o a_o example_n who_o endure_v such_o contradiction_n of_o sinner_n against_o himself_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v weary_a of_o suffer_v and_o faint_a in_o their_o mind_n and_o so_o their_o faith_n and_o hope_n be_v strengthen_v so_o also_o i_o look_v to_o the_o same_o in_o he_o and_o also_o in_o they_o after_o he_o my_o faith_n and_o patience_n may_v be_v double_v and_o my_o obedience_n make_v without_o doubt_v and_o my_o hope_n firm_a unto_o the_o end_n which_o end_n be_v the_o win_v christ_n in_o i_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n the_o great_a mystery_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o all_o till_o the_o revelation_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o so_o when_o the_o saint_n and_o apostle_n have_v christ_n reveal_v in_o they_o they_o be_v able_a minister_n of_o he_o and_o have_v the_o mystery_n open_v and_o preach_v it_o without_o doubt_n that_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n which_o be_v great_a yet_o hide_v from_o the_o world_n but_o to_o they_o without_o all_o controversy_n god_n manifest_a in_o flesh_n not_o god_n flesh_n but_o manifest_a in_o flesh_n which_o mystery_n of_o faith_n they_o hold_v in_o a_o pure_a conscience_n and_o so_o i_o know_v my_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o same_o faith_n once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o good_a fight_n of_o that_o faith_n i_o come_v to_o know_v and_o that_o faith_n which_o overcome_v the_o world_n which_o have_v the_o promise_n and_o inheritance_n of_o eternal_a life_n which_o all_o that_o go_v back_o from_o deny_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o set_v up_o a_o faith_n without_o christ_n which_o be_v not_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o in_o the_o learning_n of_o christ_n i_o come_v to_o see_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n from_o faith_n to_o faith_n and_o the_o faith_n of_o devil_n the_o live_a work_a faith_n and_o the_o dead_a faith_n without_o work_n and_o i_o find_v that_o christ_n never_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v never_o be_v perfect_a nor_o overcome_v the_o devil_n nor_o overcome_v sin_n it_o be_v never_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n to_o make_v void_a the_o law_n of_o his_o father_n unfulfil_v in_o he_o it_o be_v never_o his_o faith_n to_o revenge_v evil_a but_o to_o overcome_v it_o with_o good_a it_o be_v never_o his_o faith_n to_o respect_v person_n or_o that_o he_o can_v

observe_v his_o father_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o only_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o he_o that_o he_o do_v and_o can_v do_v nothing_o of_o himself_o he_o never_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v child_n of_o god_n who_o say_v and_o do_v not_o and_o much_o such_o like_a thing_n as_o these_o be_v never_o by_o he_o believe_v but_o be_v the_o world_n faith_n to_o uphold_v they_o in_o sin_n &_o lust_n who_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n which_o present_v perfect_a to_o god_n by_o work_v out_o such_o evil_n all_o whieh_n i_o eme_n to_o see_v not_o by_o man_n but_o in_o the_o

christ_n contrary_a to_o the_o will_n of_o man_n and_o so_o in_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n i_o have_v learned_a to_o know_v the_o growth_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o riches_n of_o
