A95905	A salutation of love unto all who have known the call of God and have in measure believed therein so far as to make open confession to his name and truth, and yet sit down short of the heavenly possession, through want of faithfulness thereunto, so come not to witness a being gathered into God's vineyard, to labour therein, which alone obtains the reward, and fits for his heavenly kingdom / by Richard Vickris.	Vickris, Richard, d. 1700.	1697 (1697)	Wing V340; ESTC R43808	5,873	28

that_o which_o principal_o rest_v with_o i_o to_o recommend_v to_o all_o to_o who_o this_o may_v come_v be_v a_o true_a and_o right_a performance_n of_o this_o great_a exercise_n and_o weighty_a

for_o as_o man_n lose_v his_o happy_a state_n by_o be_v betray_v and_o go_v from_o that_o image_n of_o god_n in_o which_o he_o be_v create_v so_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o recover_v it_o

father_n that_o have_v send_v i_o draw_v he_o well_o then_o we_o must_v wait_v for_o the_o drawing_n of_o the_o father_n and_o follow_v his_o leading_n for_o as_o christ_n say_v the_o father_n himself_o love_v you_o how_o know_v we_o that_o but_o by_o the_o sense_n he_o give_v we_o of_o his_o love_n in_o our_o soul_n and_o how_o come_v we_o by_o this_o sense_n but_o by_o the_o open_n of_o his_o life_n and_o love_n therein_o this_o manifestation_n of_o himself_o to_o we_o and_o in_o we_o be_v through_o the_o gift_n and_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n in_o we_o who_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o say_v christ_n that_o be_v confide_v in_o he_o and_o follow_v he_o as_o he_o be_v the_o way_n to_o the_o father_n love_n fear_v and_o obey_v he_o according_a as_o he_o manifest_v himself_o and_o reveal_v the_o father_n who_o be_v one_o for_o so_o have_v we_o experience_v and_o learned_a of_o christ_n therefore_o when_o he_o exhort_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v that_o we_o inward_o retire_v unto_o he_o in_o our_o mind_n and_o settle_v our_o intention_n pure_o upon_o he_o and_o diligent_o wait_v to_o feel_v his_o life_n and_o love_n which_o be_v his_o divine_a nature_n to_o spring_v up_o and_o show_v itself_o in_o our_o soul_n and_o then_o join_v with_o it_o cleave_v to_o it_o and_o love_v it_o and_o it_o will_v leven_fw-mi we_o into_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o image_n and_o so_o we_o come_v to_o a_o right_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n by_o participation_n and_o union_n and_o in_o and_o by_o this_o divine_a nature_n and_o spirit_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v enable_v to_o pray_v to_o the_o father_n to_o resist_v the_o enemy_n and_o overcome_v he_o for_o it_o be_v able_a to_o do_v all_o

to_o for_o the_o enemy_n of_o our_o soul_n peace_n watch_v all_o opportunity_n to_o draw_v our_o mind_n away_o and_o keep_v we_o therefrom_o know_v that_o all_o our_o labour_n and_o exercise_n upon_o

to_o our_o soul_n everlasting_a rest_n and_o peace_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o great_o it_o concern_v we_o in_o order_n to_o the_o right_a performance_n of_o worship_n to_o god_n and_o obtain_v our_o
