A89836	A discovery of the man of sin, acting in a mystery of iniquitie, pleading for his kingdom, against the coming of Christ to take away sin. Or, an answer to a book set forth by Tho. Weld of Gateshead, Richard Prideaux, Sam. Hamond, Will. Cole, and Will. Durant of Newcastle. By way of reply to an answer of James Nayler's to their former book, called The perfect Pharisee: who call themselves ministers of Christ, but are found ministring for the kingdom of Antichrist. Published for clearing the innocency of the truth from their malicious slanders, and discovering their deceits. By one whom the world calls James Nayler.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1654 (1654)	Wing N274; Thomason E738_16; ESTC R202155	50,411	56

the_o cross_n for_o his_o people_n he_o do_v the_o same_o now_o and_o so_o be_v the_o same_o yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o heb._n 13._o 8._o which_o cross_n you_o that_o live_v in_o your_o

any_o of_o they_o say_v that_o christ_n have_v destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o they_o who_o live_v in_o sin_n for_o to_o commit_v sin_n be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o first_o you_o say_v christ_n have_v destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o then_o you_o say_v the_o work_n of_o satan_n shall_v be_v destroy_v in_o the_o time_n appoint_v of_o the_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v present_v we_o spotless_a at_o his_o come_n which_o time_n of_o the_o father_n appointment_n and_o come_v of_o christ_n to_o present_v spotless_a you_o appear_v

and_o be_v make_v glorious_a and_o perfect_a and_o holy_a after_o death_n which_o be_v your_o own_o imagination_n here_o i_o charge_v you_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o live_a god_n to_o be_v in_o the_o papist_n faith_n to_o encourage_v people_n to_o live_v in_o sin_n while_o they_o live_v and_o for_o which_o you_o have_v no_o scripture_n for_o i_o challenge_v you_o to_o bring_v one_o

to_o deceive_v withal_o which_o at_o that_o day_n you_o shall_v account_v for_o which_o will_v be_v terrible_a to_o all_o deceiver_n and_o whereas_o you_o will_v wrest_v those_o word_n of_o christ_n mat._n 5._o 18._o not_o one_o jot_n or_o tittle_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v pass_v away_o until_o all_o be_v fulfil_v and_o this_o you_o will_v wrest_v to_o make_v the_o law_n void_a as_o though_o god_n do_v not_o require_v it_o to_o be_v fulfil_v and_o you_o say_v this_o be_v the_o scle_n and_o alone_a work_n of_o christ_n which_o work_n of_o christ_n you_o know_v not_o in_o yourselves_o who_o put_v it_o far_o from_o you_o for_o they_o who_o witness_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n they_o know_v that_o he_o who_o do_v fulfil_v the_o law_n do_v fulfil_v the_o it_o in_o every_o generation_n of_o the_o saint_n who_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o so_o by_o faith_n the_o law_n be_v establish_v and_o not_o make_v void_a and_o whereas_o you_o say_v it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o this_o life_n in_o any_o saint_n and_o here_o i_o charge_v you_o all_o to_o be_v liar_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o live_a god_n but_o you_o say_v the_o contrary_n be_v assert_v i_o answer_v it_o seem_v you_o hold_v a_o fulfil_n of_o it_o after_o death_n but_o read_v rom._n 8._o 3_o 4._o and_o let_v the_o scripture_n be_v witness_n against_o you_o which_o say_v in_o plain_a word_n that_o christ_n come_v for_o that_o end_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o the_o saint_n which_o they_o can_v not_o do_v through_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n that_o assert_v the_o contrary_a without_o your_o wrest_n which_o i_o deny_v as_o you_o have_v wrest_v and_o turn_v many_o scripture_n here_o to_o your_o own_o destruction_n and_o to_o destroy_v other_o turning_z they_o into_o your_o sense_n to_o another_o end_n then_o for_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v they_o forth_o for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v never_o give_v out_o the_o scripture_n to_o plead_v for_o sin_n while_o man_n live_v but_o they_o be_v so_o plain_a to_o all_o your_o wrest_n of_o they_o that_o i_o forbear_v to_o mention_v they_o in_o particular_a and_o whereas_o you_o slander_v we_o to_o hold_v up_o popish_a notion_n and_o inherent_a holiness_n that_o be_v your_o own_o practice_n and_o your_o own_o word_n which_o we_o deny_v and_o you_o that_o say_v may_v not_o a_o man_n be_v in_o part_n unclean_a and_o yet_o pure_a and_o spotless_a too_o by_o reason_n of_o imputation_n here_o you_o now_o

which_o christ_n come_v to_o take_v away_o judge_v if_o you_o be_v not_o the_o upholder_n of_o what_o christ_n come_v to_o destroy_v and_o here_o you_o be_v antichrist_n and_o by_o your_o plead_n for_o sin_n be_v the_o man_n of_o sin_n discover_v in_o you_o who_o plead_v for_o his_o kingdom_n while_o man_n live_v and_o how_o i_o be_o a_o railer_n for_o lay_v open_a these_o truth_n let_v any_o judge_n where_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n be_v discover_v and_o you_o be_v find_v faithful_a to_o therein_o you_o be_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o papist_n your_o master_n the_o eleven_o position_n that_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v a_o light_n within_o he_o sufficient_a to_o guide_v he_o to_o salvation_n without_o the_o help_n of_o any_o outward_a light_n or_o discovery_n and_o in_o your_o reyly_n you_o deceitful_o put_v in_o that_o word_n save_v light_a which_o be_v not_o speak_v by_o i_o for_o though_o christ_n be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n that_o enlighten_v all_o yet_o none_o be_v save_v by_o he_o but_o who_o believe_v and_o follow_v he_o out_o of_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n but_o to_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o world_n and_o they_o love_v darkness_n and_o their_o evil_a deed_n and_o here_o be_v you_o to_o be_v condemn_v with_o it_o who_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o light_n and_o plead_v against_o it_o and_o so_o live_v in_o work_n of_o darkness_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v none_o can_v come_v except_o the_o father_n draw_v they_o it_o be_v true_a but_o those_o drawing_n you_o and_o all_o that_o hate_v the_o light_n do_v resist_v and_o whereas_o you_o say_v every_o one_o that_o have_v hear_v and_o learn_v of_o the_o father_n come_v to_o i_o it_o be_v true_a and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o you_o who_o own_v not_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o father_n but_o count_v it_o blasphemy_n to_o witness_v his_o voice_n come_v not_o to_o christ_n but_o be_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o he_o and_o for_o john_n 1._o 4_o 5._o which_o you_o say_v be_v clear_a against_o i_o and_o you_o say_v they_o be_v in_o darkness_n for_o want_n of_o light_n but_o john_n say_v the_o light_n shine_v in_o darkness_n and_o he_o come_v unto_o his_o own_o and_o they_o receive_v he_o not_o john_n 1_o and_o here_o john_n show_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o be_v in_o darkness_n be_v because_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o light_n for_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o what_o john_n say_v you_o hold_v the_o contrary_n and_o you_o say_v that_o of_o joh._n 3._o 19_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v full_a against_o i_o but_o how_o that_o be_v full_a against_o my_o witness_v every_o man_n to_o have_v a_o light_n let_v any_o man_n see_v but_o you_o sure_o think_v that_o people_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v any_o thing_n you_o say_v without_o any_o further_a trial_n but_o the_o light_n be_v come_v and_o you_o must_v now_o lead_v none_o but_o who_o be_v wilful_o blind_a and_o for_o the_o three_o branch_n of_o my_o answer_n that_o where_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n be_v there_o need_v no_o outward_a
