A94794	A legacy for saints; being several experiences of the dealings of God with Anna Trapnel, in, and after her conversion, (written some years since with her own hand) and new coming to the sight of some friends, they have judged them worthy of publike view; together with some letters of a latter date, sent to the congregation with whom she walks in the fellowship of the Gospel, and to some other friends.	Trapnel, Anna.; Proud, John, fl. 1654.; Ingold, Caleb.	1654 (1654)	Wing T2032; Thomason E806_1; ESTC R207169	57,632	72

praise_v and_o be_v go_v i_o be_v trouble_v that_o he_o do_v not_o more_o question_v i_o and_o bring_v argument_n against_o i_o for_o trial_n i_o know_v true_a gold_n be_v make_v more_o manifest_a

now_o i_o behold_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v in_o he_o to_o speak_v in_o a_o soul-searching_a manner_n though_o he_o tell_v i_o i_o may_v be_v delude_v and_o also_o tell_v i_o that_o many_o

be_v the_o more_o torture_v and_o feel_v myself_o the_o worse_a because_o god_n come_v not_o in_o the_o mean_n it_o take_v no_o effect_n god_n have_v a_o further_a work_n to_o show_v to_o his_o people_n and_o the_o lord_n bid_v i_o tell_v these_o thing_n in_o gath_n and_o publish_v they_o in_o ashkelon_n fear_v not_o say_v god_n to_o tell_v it_o to_o the_o great_a monarch_n of_o the_o

but_o now_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o saint_n how_o god_n present_v himself_o to_o i_o in_o many_o similitude_n which_o i_o never_o hear_v mention_v before_o by_o any_o they_o be_v bring_v immediate_o from_o god_n and_o scripture_n present_v that_o i_o never_o take_v notice_n of_o before_o and_o god_n sweet_o interpret_v they_o to_o my_o spirit_n god_n first_o fill_v i_o with_o contemplation_n about_o the_o trinity_n which_o be_v sweet_a than_o the_o honey_n and_o the_o honycomb_n to_o my_o spiritual_a palate_n it_o come_v in_o such_o a_o majesty_n to_o i_o that_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o set_v it_o forth_o it_o swallow_v up_o my_o spirit_n but_o in_o desire_v to_o declare_v it_o to_o the_o saint_n this_o similitude_n of_o a_o tree_n be_v set_v before_o i_o god_n the_o root_n his_o son_n christ_n the_o tree_n the_o spirit_n the_o sap_n and_o as_o the_o root_n and_o tree_n and_o sap_n be_v but_o one_o in_o a_o natural_a sense_n for_o the_o sap_n and_o tree_n look_v on_o in_o the_o root_n there_o be_v but_o one_o substance_n which_o lie_v hide_v till_o such_o time_n as_o it_o put_v forth_o itself_o in_o a_o tree_n and_o then_o the_o tree_n appear_v but_o it_o be_v cover_v with_o a_o bark_n or_o rinde_n and_o the_o sap_n be_v discover_v run_v from_o the_o root_n through_o the_o tree_n into_o the_o branch_n which_o sap_n be_v not_o so_o discover_v as_o when_o the_o bark_n be_v peel_v off_o the_o tree_n yet_o than_o it_o can_v be_v discern_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o so_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n be_v one_o in_o that_o glorious_a essential_a incomprehensible_a be_v make_v themselves_o forth_o in_o thou_o 3_o joh._n 5.7_o god_n lie_v hide_v in_o the_o root_n man_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o know_v what_o he_o be_v no_o more_o than_o man_n be_v capable_a to_o know_v what_o sweetness_n be_v in_o the_o root_n of_o a_o tree_n while_o it_o lie_v hide_v till_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o tree_n and_o sap_n so_o when_o this_o one_o god_n appear_v in_o the_o tree_n the_o lord_n jesus_n than_o his_o sweetness_n begin_v to_o break_v forth_o and_o be_v make_v forth_o more_o by_o the_o sap_n the_o spirit_n but_o i_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o show_v i_o this_o similitude_n by_o scripture_n in_o which_o he_o open_v the_o trinity_n by_o way_n of_o root_n tree_n and_o sap_n god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v love_n and_o he_o that_o dwell_v in_o god_n dwell_v in_o love_n so_o that_o from_o this_o god_n appear_v as_o the_o root_n of_o man_n happiness_n be_v enfold_v in_o the_o first_o person_n in_o trinity_n from_o eternity_n by_o this_o root_n which_o the_o scripture_n call_v love_n the_o first_o glorious_a person_n in_o trinity_n appear_v in_o the_o second_o person_n the_o tree_n but_o how_o be_v he_o call_v a_o tree_n in_o scripture_n it_o be_v present_o present_v before_o i_o that_o he_o be_v that_o tree_n speak_v of_o in_o paradise_n that_o tree_n of_o life_n gen._n 2._o but_o how_o may_v the_o spirit_n be_v call_v sap_n from_o scripture_n thus_o it_o be_v call_v a_o holy_a anoint_v it_o be_v compare_v to_o oil_n to_o the_o ointment_n psal_n 133.2_o which_o be_v upon_o aaron_n head_n and_o run_v down_o upon_o his_o beard_n and_o so_o to_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o garment_n and_o from_o the_o word_n oil_n or_o ointment_n so_o the_o three_o glorious_a person_n in_o trinity_n be_v liken_v unto_o sap_n and_o thus_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o that_o as_o the_o sap_n run_v from_o the_o root_n through_o the_o tree_n into_o the_o branch_n so_o the_o spirit_n the_o holy_a oil_n run_v from_o out_o of_o the_o root_n which_o be_v the_o father_n through_o the_o tree_n which_o be_v the_o son_n into_o the_o branch_n for_o so_o the_o saint_n be_v call_v in_o scripture_n branch_n of_o the_o vine_n christ_n jesus_n and_o as_o the_o sap_n drop_v into_o the_o branch_n and_o twig_n of_o a_o tree_n which_o cause_v they_o to_o live_v and_o appear_v green_a and_o the_o efficacy_n of_o this_o sap_n produce_v fruit_n it_o be_v very_o virtual_a it_o descend_v of_o its_o virtue_n into_o the_o leau_n which_o else_o will_v wither_v as_o for_o instance_n in_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o leaf_n when_o the_o sap_n return_v into_o the_o root_n the_o leave_v wither_v and_o fail_v and_o as_o there_o be_v a_o virtual_a union_n of_o the_o root_n tree_n and_o sap_n and_o branch_n and_o fruit_n and_o leave_n so_o there_o be_v a_o glorious_a union_n and_o congruity_n that_o the_o saint_n have_v in_o the_o holy_a trinity_n their_o life_n be_v in_o the_o root_n and_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o tree_n and_o manifest_v by_o the_o sap_n to_o the_o branch_n the_o elect_n appear_v dead_a till_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o sap_n quicken_v they_o and_o no_o fruit_n be_v bring_v forth_o though_o they_o may_v have_v a_o profession_n yet_o it_o be_v but_o as_o dead_a leaf_n which_o fall_v and_o crumble_v to_o dust_n so_o that_o from_o the_o spirit_n slow_v sweet_a water_n it_o produce_v sound_a fruit_n it_o make_v also_o professor_n green_a and_o lively_a and_o as_o when_o the_o bark_n be_v peel_v of_o the_o tree_n the_o sap_n be_v more_o discern_v so_o when_o the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n be_v take_v from_o the_o saint_n view_v than_o the_o spirit_n be_v more_o discern_v therefore_o say_v christ_n it_o be_v expedient_a that_o i_o go_v away_o that_o so_o you_o may_v have_v a_o full_a sight_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o that_o believe_v as_o the_o scripture_n have_v say_v out_o of_o his_o belly_n shall_v flow_v river_n of_o live_a water_n this_o speak_v he_o of_o the_o spirit_n which_o those_o shall_v

it_o on_o my_o spirit_n and_o god_n tell_v i_o that_o the_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o far_o off_o ere_o he_o will_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o his_o child_n and_o take_v away_o that_o skin_n of_o formality_n that_o have_v lie_v so_o long_o upon_o their_o sight_n and_o that_o drowsiness_n or_o sleepiness_n of_o spirit_n that_o have_v seize_v upon_o they_o and_o baptize_v they_o with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o shall_v break_v forth_o as_o fire_n among_o they_o so_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v fill_v with_o the_o song_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o they_o shall_v behold_v their_o
