A74895	A discovery of faith; wherein is laid down the ground of true faith, which sanctifieth and purifieth the heart, and worketh out the carnal part. Shewing the way that leadeth to salvation: with the difference betwixt the two seeds, the one of Mount Sinai, which tendeth to bondage; and the other, which is the immortal seed of God, begotten by the immortal word, which liveth and abideth for ever. Being as Isaac was, the childe of the promise, and of Jerusalem which is from above ... The difference betwixt the living word and the letter.	R. F. (Richard Farnworth), d. 1666.; Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1653 (1653)	Thomason E703_6**	16,669	16

Eccles 3. 11. 1 Cor. 1. 21. Faith gives the victory over the world and then he comes to the end of the world now you must see the world to be set in your hearts and the world by their wisdom which is earthly and carnal knows not God for God is pure and cannot behold iniquity Now thou that Gen. 32. 30.

And do not all the worlds Teachers and people all apply the Scriptures and say he saith and calls the Letter the Word Iohn 1. 1. and so live in hear-say and deceive your selves and others When as the Letter saith God is the Word and the Letter saith The Word is sharper then a two edged sword and it divideth asunder but it doth not say that the Heb. 4. 12. Letter is sharper then a two edged sword and you are clean through the Word but not through the Letter and the Letter saith The Word is a hammer but it doth not say the Letter is a hammer and Iohn 15. 3. the Letter saith The Wood is a fire but doth not say the Letter is as a fire O hear you outside faiths and you outside mindes whose Ier. 23. 29. faith is without God formed and imagined in thy minde you have the nature of the Devil to murther and the nature of the heathen to rage the nature of the man-slayer to envy and you take the Letter for a cloak and say you believe in Christ in the Lord Jesus O Hypocrite and Dissembler awake awake O you blinde guides Psal 2. 1. which have lain long covered but now the Lord is uncovering you Isa 3. 18. 19 20 21 22 23. now he will strip you of your mantles of your vails of your broidered atire now your bracelets and your bonets and of your nose-gaises and now thou scarlet coloured harlot that is covered mincing with thy eyes and tinckling with thy feet and thy broidered Isa 3. 16. hair now thou hast time to repent repent turn to the Lord but thy own ways thou hast chosen and the vain imaginations of thy own heart thou followest so thy own delusions and fear the Lord will bring upon thee and all you that say you have faith you gather a great company together and you profess Christ and you have been a long time taught some thirty years some forty some fifty some sixty some fourscore but how many of you have one Faith and one Seed and Witness examine your selves and deceive not your own souls and you that do profess you have faith you say the Letter is the light and the Scripture Letter is the Word and the Steple-house is the Church and the sprinkling of Infants is the baptism which you baptize them into and you have a Teacher and he teaches you these things and he is called of Men Master which Christ cryed wo against and hath the chiefest place in the Assemblies but all this while see how many of you are of one faith and how many of you would lay down your life one for another and to let your yea be Mat 23. 27 26 yea and your nay nay in all things that which purifies the heart comes from one and draws to one if they be ten thousand they are one But these are them who are purified now you shall see a difference between your saith as you call it and the Saints faith for the Saints said their light was Christ and it was within them and the Saints 1 Iohn 2. 20. 27 1 Thess 1. 1. 1 Cor. 12. 13.
