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.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.; R. T. (Rebecca Travers), 1609-1688.	1664 (1664)	Wing N329; ESTC R23113	74,833	93

serve_v christ_n with_o real_a actual_a obedience_n and_o so_o his_o birth_n be_v a_o meaning_n instead_o of_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o he_o set_v to_o oppose_v that_o life_n lest_o

after_o they_o have_v full_o believe_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o at_o jerusalem_n in_o that_o vessel_n and_o many_o other_o scripture_n do_v he_o open_v to_o i_o as_o i_o learn_v he_o

as_o they_o come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o i_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n in_o that_o work_n of_o faith_n then_o come_v i_o to_o see_v that_o i_o through_o the_o law_n must_v be_v redeem_v

know_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o perfect_a freedom_n and_o then_o i_o see_v the_o scripture_n can_v not_o be_v break_v nor_o wrest_v but_o it_o must_v be_v learn_v in_o the_o

and_o then_o come_v i_o clear_o to_o see_v christ_n jesus_n set_v before_o i_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o i_o be_v to_o go_v through_o in_o that_o faith_n which_o i_o have_v first_o receive_v and_o

firm_a unto_o the_o end_n which_o end_n be_v the_o win_a 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

never_o his_o faith_n to_o respect_v person_n or_o that_o he_o can_v commit_v sin_n and_o not_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v never_o his_o faith_n to_o sue_v contend_v or_o fight_v or_o
