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.

to_o be_v of_o god_n in_o i_o as_o the_o scripture_n do_v witness_v so_o this_o faith_n didnot_v work_v i_o into_o a_o conceit_n of_o myself_o glory_v in_o knowledge_n and_o so_o to_o become_v a_o teacher_n of_o other_o what_o i_o have_v conceive_v below_o the_o life_n but_o it_o lead_v i_o down_o into_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o light_n to_o wait_v therein_o for_o the_o resurrection_n of_o life_n and_o i_o come_v to_o see_v in_o that_o light_n that_o the_o motion_n of_o sin_n do_v still_o work_v from_o the_o old_a ground_n and_o root_n and_o that_o must_v be_v

not_o come_v to_o perfect_a victory_n over_o the_o enmity_n nor_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o though_o this_o faith_n have_v turn_v my_o heart_n towards_o christ_n and_o give_v i_o hope_n to_o attain_v he_o yet_o i_o have_v not_o then_o learn_v he_o nor_o be_v he_o yet_o form_v in_o i_o so_o be_v i_o lead_v in_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n to_o see_v what_o i_o have_v of_o this_o treasure_n in_o the_o earthen_a vessel_n which_o i_o find_v to_o be_v in_o i_o very_o little_a and_o that_o seed_n the_o least_o of_o all_o seed_n so_o i_o become_v little_a in_o that_o eye_n which_o tell_v i_o the_o truth_n though_o i_o have_v be_v high_a in_o my_o own_o thought_n former_o and_o so_o to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o begin_n of_o christ_n i_o be_v lead_v or_o the_o first_o principle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n that_o with_o that_o which_o teach_v christ_n i_o may_v learn_v christ_n in_o every_o measure_n of_o he_o as_o i_o grow_v therein_o so_o be_v i_o bring_v to_o know_v he_o that_o be_v make_v under_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o foundation_n of_o repentance_n from_o dead_a work_n and_o to_o doctrine_n of_o baptism_n and_o to_o eternal_a judgement_n then_o come_v i_o in_o truth_n and_o life_n to_o see_v what_o they_o be_v do_v who_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v to_o work_v out_o their_o own_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a 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 which_o before_o to_o i_o be_v a_o mystery_n while_o i_o learn_v they_o in_o meaning_n without_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n which_o then_o be_v open_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o christ_n jesus_n 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 from_o the_o law_n and_o that_o my_o redemption_n from_o it_o must_v not_o be_v by_o make_v it_o void_a but_o by_o fulfil_v of_o it_o and_o till_o than_o it_o have_v power_n over_o i_o and_o sin_n take_v occasion_n by_o it_o to_o strengthen_v itself_o in_o i_o but_o as_o i_o come_v to_o grow_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n i_o be_v in_o he_o bring_v through_o it_o it_o in_o he_o fulfil_v and_o i_o dead_a to_o it_o as_o it_o come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v and_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n i_o find_v true_a i_o come_v not_o to_o break_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o and_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o heaven_n &_o earth_n to_o pass_v away_o then_o one_o jot_n of_o the_o law_n to_o pass_v away_o tell_v it_o be_v fulfil_v and_o i_o need_v not_o a_o meaning_n to_o that_o scripture_n but_o a_o fulfil_n thereof_o in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o schoolmaster_n that_o bring_v to_o christ_n i_o learn_v &_o christ_n form_v &_o the_o heir_n under_o tutor_n before_o i_o 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 life_n of_o it_o to_o salvation_n which_o the_o unlearned_a wrist_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n by_o meaning_n without_o life_n and_o that_o it_o be_v of_o no_o private_a interpretation_n but_o this_o one_o spirit_n must_v open_v it_o all_o in_o the_o fulfil_n thereof_o and_o this_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n only_o be_v able_a to_o make_v wise_a unto_o salvation_n of_o eternal_a life_n 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 that_o the_o attain_n of_o he_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o glory_n and_o no_o hope_n without_o he_o and_o this_o hope_n be_v as_o a_o anchor_n in_o all_o hardship_n and_o temptation_n which_o be_v not_o a_o few_o i_o be_v lead_v through_o but_o all_o be_v count_v little_a while_o i_o stand_v in_o this_o faith_n for_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v in_o i_o to_o win_v christ_n and_o i_o clear_o see_v that_o now_o with_o stand_v my_o first_o faith_n in_o what_o he_o have_v do_v at_o jerusalem_n yet_o if_o i_o do_v not_o continue_v therein_o to_o follow_v the_o same_o spirit_n in_o obedience_n thereto_o believe_v therein_o in_o all_o its_o leading_n hope_v to_o attain_v to_o christ_n jesus_n the_o end_n of_o that_o faith_n in_o daily_o grow_v towards_o his_o stature_n and_o fullness_n but_o have_v turn_v aside_o or_o set_v down_o short_a of_o the_o leading_n
any_o share_n or_o possession_n in_o he_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v not_o holy_a come_v not_o from_o god_n and_o so_o can_v build_v up_o to_o god_n that_o be_v not_o save_v faith_n that_o do_v not_o save_v from_o sin_n but_o be_v deceive_a faith_n which_o deceive_v the_o soul_n and_o suffer_v lust_n to_o defile_v it_o and_o destroy_v it_o and_o so_o bring_v it_o under_o condemnation_n by_o believe_v lie_n and_o so_o let_v in_o sin_n upon_o the_o soul_n by_o consent_n persuade_v that_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o and_o so_o give_v the_o devil_n victory_n and_o the_o world_n victory_n and_o the_o flesh_n victory_n and_o sin_n victory_n over_o the_o soul_n which_o shall_v give_v the_o soul_n victory_n over_o all_o and_o what_o great_a deceit_n can_v there_o be_v to_o the_o soul_n than_o this_o be_v and_o therefore_o for_o ever_o that_o which_o i_o have_v see_v and_o learn_v do_v i_o declare_v open_o that_o this_o be_v the_o deceive_a faith_n indeed_o rather_o unbelief_n than_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n which_o make_v way_n for_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n to_o reign_v and_o act_n in_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o creature_n and_o the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o faith_n which_o give_v way_n to_o the_o least_o sin_n be_v not_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n who_o work_n and_o come_n be_v to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o redeem_v the_o soul_n from_o sin_n and_o the_o least_o measure_n of_o that_o faith_n that_o stand_v in_o his_o life_n overcome_v the_o world_n and_o sin_n in_o that_o measure_n and_o he_o that_o commit_v sin_n go_v out_o of_o that_o faith_n and_o act_n against_o it_o and_o a_o lie_a faith_n i_o have_v find_v that_o to_o be_v which_o persuade_v the_o soul_n of_o freedom_n from_o condemnation_n but_o give_v it_o not_o freedom_n from_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o condemnation_n and_o all_o shall_v witness_v this_o with_o i_o now_o or_o hereafter_o that_o where_o sin_n have_v power_n there_o death_n have_v power_n and_o the_o grave_n and_o hell_n and_o condemnation_n have_v power_n also_o for_o these_o be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n then_o shall_v you_o say_v you_o be_v deceive_v who_o believe_v the_o contrary_a and_o may_v not_o such_o true_o be_v say_v to_o be_v past_a feel_n indeed_o who_o can_v commit_v sin_n and_o feel_v no_o condemnation_n for_o it_o already_o and_o this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o false_a faith_n to_o harden_v themselves_o against_o the_o faithful_a witness_n of_o god_n in_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o the_o sear_a conscience_n have_v make_v ship_n wrack_n of_o the_o faith_n christ_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n preach_v the_o faith_n of_o devil_n to_o give_v way_n to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o all_o sin_n be_v from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a and_o he_o that_o plead_v for_o it_o be_v a_o father_n to_o it_o and_o he_o that_o commit_v it_o a_o servant_n and_o may_v look_v for_o the_o wage_n thereof_o if_o he_o repent_v not_o notwithstanding_o he_o believe_v the_o contrary_n and_o many_o may_v feel_v this_o truth_n at_o this_o day_n who_o have_v a_o long_a time_n believe_v with_o this_o faith_n deceive_v their_o own_o soul_n day_n after_o day_n believe_v they_o shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v when_o they_o be_v condemn_v already_o in_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o feel_v the_o weight_n of_o sin_n daily_o press_v their_o soul_n and_o burden_v the_o pure_a conscience_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o sin_n keep_v their_o soul_n still_o in_o bondage_n and_o lie_v upon_o they_o all_o their_o life_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v force_v themselves_o to_o believe_v contrary_a to_o holy_a faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o they_o be_v save_v and_o redeem_v and_o thus_o make_v ship_n wrack_n of_o save_a faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n by_o believe_v a_o lie_n contrary_a to_o their_o own_o daily_a feel_n no_o other_o thing_n to_o encourage_v they_o therein_o but_o this_o persuasion_n which_o suit_n well_o with_o such_o as_o take_v pleasure_n in_o unrighteousness_n which_o persuasion_n come_v not_o of_o god_n but_o condemn_v by_o that_o of_o god_n in_o themselves_o and_o this_o be_v the_o state_n of_o many_o at_o this_o day_n though_o some_o there_o be_v who_o conscience_n be_v sear_v and_o feel_v not_o this_o witness_n live_v in_o they_o though_o their_o damnation_n slumber_v not_o though_o they_o have_v lose_v their_o call_v and_o election_n also_o and_o this_o have_v i_o learn_v in_o christ_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n both_o in_o effect_n and_o nature_n betwixt_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o that_o faith_n which_o man_n make_v to_o themselves_o for_o that_o which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v of_o his_o own_o nature_n clean_a pure_a and_o perfect_a as_o be_v all_o his_o gift_n and_o so_o it_o work_v natural_o the_o work_n and_o will_n of_o god_n in_o all_o who_o receive_v it_o free_o and_o mix_v nothing_o with_o it_o to_o darken_v it_o or_o stop_v his_o work_n and_o by_o this_o faith_n i_o be_o save_v from_o sin_n and_o

that_o it_o be_v not_o my_o own_o work_n but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o this_o effect_n have_v save_a work_a faith_n and_o this_o be_v its_o nature_n and_o grace_n but_o another_o faith_n i_o have_v find_v which_o be_v not_o so_o in_o nature_n or_o effect_n be_v not_o free_o receive_v from_o above_o but_o be_v feign_v and_o have_v its_o ground_n

to_o believe_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o and_o so_o form_v a_o faith_n in_o himself_o and_o though_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o perfect_a when_o he_o have_v form_v it_o and_o make_v it_o with_o all_o his_o strength_n but_o many_o thing_n in_o scripture_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o saint_n but_o especial_o that_o of_o god_n in_o his_o own_o conscience_n will_v not_o suit_v with_o it_o

bring_v not_o forth_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n nor_o his_o pure_a image_n and_o life_n neither_o in_o matter_n of_o worship_n nor_o manner_n but_o what_o he_o may_v imitate_v christ_n and_o the_o
