A52691	Glory to God Almighty who ruleth in the heavens, and in whose hands are all the kingdoms of the earth	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1659 (1659)	Wing N282; ESTC R8580	3,871	6

GLory to God Almighty who Ruleth in the Heavens and in whose hands are all the Kingdoms of the earth who raiseth up and casteth down at his Will who hath wayes to confound the exaltation of man and to chastise his Children and to make man to know himself to be as grass before him whose Judgements are above the highest of men and his pitty reacheth the deepest misery and this Arm of his Mercy is underneath to lift up the Prisoner out of the Pit and to save such as trust in him from the great distruction which vain man through his folly brings on himself who hath delivered my Soul out of darkness and made way for my Freedom out of the Prison-house and Ransomed me from the great Captivity who devides the Seas before him and removes the Mountains out of his Way in the Day when he takes upon him to deliver the Oppressed out of the hand of him that is too mighty for him in the earth let his Name be exalted forever and let all flesh fear before him whose breath is life to his own but a consuming fire to the Adversary And to the Lord Jesus Christ be Everlasting Dominion upon earth and his Kingdom above all the powers of darkness even that Christ of whom the Scriptures declares which was and is and is to come the light of the world to all Generations of whose coming I testifie with the rest of the Children of light begotten of the Immortal Seed whose Truth and Vertue now shines in the world unto the Righteousness of Eternal life and the Saviour of all that believe therein who hath been the Rock of my Salvation and his Spirit hath given Quietness and Patience to my Soul in deep affliction even for his Names sake praises for ever But Condemned for ever be all those false worships with which any have Idolized my Person in the night of my temptation when the power of darkness was above all their casting off their Clothes in the ●ay their bowings and singings and all the rest of those wilde actions which did any way tend to dishonour the Lord or draw the minds of any from the measure of Christ Jesus in themselves to look at flesh which is grass or to ascribe that to the visible wch belongs to Christ Jesus ●●l that I condemn by which the pure Name of the Lord hath any way ●een Blasphemed through me in that time of temptation or the spirits of any People grieved that truly loves the Lord Jesus throughout the whole world of what sort soever this offence I confess which hath been sorrow of heart that the enemy of mans Peace in Christ should get this advantage in the night of my Tryal to stir up wrath and offences in the Creation of God a thing the simplicity of my heart did not intend the Lord knows who in his endless love hath given 〈◊〉 Power over it to Condemn it And also that Letter sent me to Exeter by John Stanger when I was in Prison with these words Thy name sh●●●e no more James Naylor but Jesus this I Judge to be written from the Imaginations and a fear struck me when I first saw it and so I put it in my Pocket close not intending any should see it which they finding on me spread it abroad which the simplicity of my heart never owned so this I deny also that the Name of Christ Jesus is received in stead of James Naylor or after the flesh for the Name is to the Seed to all Generations and he that hath the Son hath the Name which is Life and Power the Salvation and the Unction into which Name all the Children of light are Baptized so the Name of Christ I confess before men but not according to men which Name to me hath been a strong Tower in the night and in the day And this is the Name of Jesus Christ which I confess The Son and the Lamb in the Seed where he speaks in Male or Female but who hath not this in himself hath not life neither can have by Idolizing my Person or the Person of any flesh but in whom the Heir is born and hath spoken or doth speak there he must not be denied the mouth to speak by who is head over all and in all his own God blessed for ever And all those ranting wilde spirits which then gathered about me in that time of darkness and all their wilde actions and wicked words against the honour of God and his pure Spirit and People I deny the spirit the power and the works thereof and as far as I gave advantage through want of Judgement for that evil spirit in any to arise I take shame to my self justly having formerly had Power over that spirit in Judgement and discerning where ever it was which darkness came over me through want of watchfulness and obedience to the pure Eye of God and diligent minding the reproof of life which condemns the Adulterous spirit so the Adversary got advantage who ceases not to seek to devour and being taken Captive from the true light walked in the night where none can work as a wandring bird sit for the prey and if the Lord of all my mercies had not rescued me I had perished for I was as one appointed to death and distruction and there was none could deliver me And this I confess that God may be justified in his Judgement and magnified in his mercies without end who did not forsake his Captive in the night even when his Spirit was daily provoked and grieved but hath brought me forth to give Glory to his Name for ever And it is in my heart to confess to God and before men my folly and offence in that day yet was there many things formed against me at that day to take away my life and cast upon the Truth of which I am not guilty at all as that accusation as if I had committed Adultery with some of those Women who came with us from Exeter Prison and also those who were with me at Bristow the night before I suffered there Of both which accusations I am clear before God who kept me at that day both in thought and deed as to all Women as a little Child God is my Record and this I mention in Particular hearing of some who still cease not to reproach therewith Gods Truth and People that the mouth of enmity may be shut from evil-speaking though this touch not my Conscience Also that report as though I had raised Dorcas Erbury from death carnally this I deny also and condemn that Testimony to be out of the Truth though that Power that quickens the dead I deny not which is the word of Eternal Life And this I give forth that it may go as far as the offence against the Spirit of Truth hath gone abroad that all burthens may be taken off with the Truth and the Truth cleared thereby and the true light and all that walk therein and the
