A52705	Milk for babes: and meat for strong men A feast of fat things; wine well refined on the lees. O come young men and maidens, old men and babes, and drink abundantly of the streams that run from the fountain, that you may feel a well-spring of living water in yourselves, springing up to eternal life; that as he lives (even Christ Jesus) from whence all the springs do come, so you may live also, and partake of his glory that is ascended at the right hand of the Father, far above principalities and powers. Being the breathings of the Spirit through his servant James Naylor, written by him in the time of the confinement of his outward man in prison, but not published till now.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.; Booth, Mary, 17th cent.	1661 (1661)	Wing N299; ESTC R202065	26,742	32

hunt about for freedom yet if any Carnal Way be opened it will form a fair pretence as though it were of God which is not of God and this seeks to betray the just faithful one from you would part you from your chast waiting upon him whom you love taking his advantage by your hast weariness weakness in the journey But that which only minds to be obedient to God in suffering and acting with faith and diligence nearkning with all Long-suffering what Meekness and Patience saith thinking it a greater thing to obtain Counsel from that then ease from another believing that no other thing can give an expected end but that to wit an inheritance in that you wait for and therefore count nothing dear that you may win him thinking no time long nor any thing hard to endure for the joy and beauty that is set before you This wil never deceive you of the Redemption of Truth your Love and Redeemer and Lord is One and you shal not be put to your sleighty shifts as they that go out from that Spirit are for you shal feel and see your Redeemer in the misst of you and with his body shal you rise and live and you shal not be ransomed with silver or gold from the hand of the Opressor but by the pretious blood of Christ as a Lamb without spot not with any corruptible thing but his Long-suffering Faith and Patience his Love and meek Spirit shal set you out of all darkness and above all fears and your freedom wil be perfect and inheritance large when all that would not stay upon him alone are consumedin the fiery tryals which haste ease and distrust wil never bring to an end til which you are not fit to be joined to him you love in everliving obedience and everlasting praises the portion of all who have waited on him and have found him faithful in the End And having Learned this mystery of Godliness and found the worth of it you having found his way perfect and pure and him faithful to such as walk therein you may be able to direct the simple and unlearned in their desirable way to rest and your words have in them a manifestation of life and quickning power is with you this shal be your everlasting strength that you are redeemed with that you so dearly loved And this you shal feel in the way that the more diligently you wait upon him in all Conditions you pass through even so the more do you receive of him by drinking in of that heavenly virtue that is in him who is the meek and patient one and by supping continually with him and he with you wil you come so to be filled with him that all haste and impatiency and distrust will be covered and overcome with him and so your Mortal be swallowed up of the Immortal till it become your whole Life and Being and all your Thoughts Words and Actions have their Rise and Being therein so that Self be seen no more nor that appear in which Death and Condemnation have any entrance or power And this shall you find to be the House from Above and Heavenly City in which the holy Spirits live and walk and have Communion as they come to be perfected of which the LAMB is the Light and Salvation into which none enter but who through his Meekness and Long-suffering are ransomed and by Faith therein redeemed Who being thus builded see no more sorrow nor fear of falling the Foundation being everlasting elect and precious and every Stone therein tryed in the fire and in faithfulness chosen for that end So with all diligence sink down to feel the Election not minding that which boasts in high words before it be tryed but when it comes into the fire will not stand patient in the Tryal but through that being given up to death seek for that which lies under in the sufferings which calls you down from every high thought To him come down into the pit who bears all things without complaining that with him you may suffer and with him you may obey and in all things he may be with you and you with him this is the Election make him sure to your selves in life and death so shall you be changed with him and though you go down into the lower parts of the Earth in the carnal body he shall raise you spiritual though sown weak yet raised in Power if you rise not but with him as he raises you if you cast not off the Yoak nor flye the Cross nor heal your own wound though your wound be mortal yet the cure is immortal though you go down in shame and reproach yet raised in glory and covered with immortal honour and eternal life with power and strength to fulfil the will of God and the answer of a good Conscience through this Baptism and Resurraction you shall attain and so become one Spirit with him that dwells in the light in death in sufferings in patience in faith and in obedience which otherwise no mortal man can approach to there being that to be fulfilled which the Light requires which the first man born hath not in power so by that Law his life he must lose which hath power over the Transgressor as long as he lives and joined to Christ cannot be till to that Law he be dead So the first which is earthly the

is and hath the power of obedience to righteousness puts an end to the Law So he being denied dead and buried whose life arose through disobedience who is the Transgressor and because of whom the Law was added that Law becomes dead also he that fulfils the Law is he that gave it forth and is the end thereof in whom by Faith you live and inherit this right eousness as you put him on through death who is this life So being faithful in the Light shal
