A34984	An alarum sounded in the borders of spiritual Egypt vvhich shall be heard in Babylon, and astonish the inhabitants of the defiled and polluted habitations of the earth. And the power of the Prince of Darkness called into question; and he himself examin'd by the truth, how he came to raign over mankind; and how long his time shall be, till he comes to be cast out of his dominion, and the creature be deliver'd from under his tyranny; to serve God in spirit and in truth, as Christ, the prince of peace, has order'd them. Also the number of him whom the world hath wonder'd after, found out; and demonstrated to be near at an end: and withal, that it is no wayes unlawful, nor in vain, both to hope, and to expect the utter desolation, and destruction of sin in this life, and the setting up of perfect righteousness in the souls of men, where sin has too long raign'd. Written in a testimony to the truth, and against the false position of the devil, and his servants; by a servant of God, Steven Crisp.	Crisp, Stephen, 1628-1692.	1671 (1671)	Wing C6922; ESTC R215182	35,940	50

and_o he_o think_v he_o may_v do_v many_o thing_n against_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n second_o he_o declare_v of_o his_o convincement_n and_o how_o it_o be_v with_o he_o then_o when_o he_o know_v he_o shall_v not_o do_v no_o more_o against_o the_o truth_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v whole_o change_v he_o do_v thing_n which_o he_o know_v he_o ought_v not_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n live_v and_o dwell_v in_o he_o and_o that_o state_n he_o do_v not_o call_v happy_a or_o bless_a as_o these_o blind_a professor_n do_v at_o this_o day_n that_o take_v up_o a_o rest_n in_o this_o state_n and_o say_v they_o can_v never_o be_v redeem_a out_o of_o it_o for_o he_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o condition_n cry_v out_o for_o deliverance_n call_v it_o a_o miserable_a condition_n which_o plain_o show_v that_o his_o eye_n be_v upon_o a_o further_a and_o better_a state_n unto_o which_o he_o also_o bear_v witness_n say_v he_o be_v make_v free_a by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n both_o of_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o death_n in_o which_o time_n he_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o body_n now_o what_o ●eason_n have_v these_o pleader_n for_o sin_n to_o believe_v that_o paul_n be_v in_o all_o these_o three_o state_n at_o once_o and_o if_o not_o why_o not_o in_o the_o last_o be_v the_o other_o two_o be_v but_o foregoing_a state_n lead_v to_o the_o three_o especial_o consider_v the_o many_o other_o testimony_n which_o he_o give_v of_o his_o be_v perfect_a and_o of_o those_o that_o by_o his_o ministry_n be_v bring_v to_o perfection_n say_v concern_v himself_o timothy_n and_o silvanus_n we_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o truth_n and_o in_o a_o other_o place_n he_o testify_v that_o he_o have_v fight_v a_o good_a fight_n keep_v the_o faith_n and_o finish_v his_o course_n now_o if_o it_o be_v finish_v then_o there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o run_v and_o if_o the_o fight_n be_v fight_v then_o the_o enemy_n be_v no_o more_o alive_a as_o they_o be_v when_o sin_n live_v and_o dwell_v in_o he_o again_o he_o say_v in_o a_o other_o place_n we_o preach_v wisdom_n among_o they_o that_o be_v perfect_a that_o be_v after_o the_o explication_n and_o sense_n of_o these_o sin-pleader_n we_o preach_v wisdom_n among_o none_o except_o among_o those_o that_o be_v already_o depart_v out_o of_o this_o world_n and_o go_v to_o heaven_n and_o again_o as_o many_o of_o you_o as_o be_v perfect_a be_v so_o mind_v that_o be_v to_o say_v after_o their_o explication_n let_v none_o be_v thus_o mind_v before_o they_o be_v dead_a again_o at_o last_o dear_a brethren_n be_v perfect_a and_o of_o one_o mind_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o they_o say_v can_v be_v in_o this_o life_n and_o again_o he_o say_v to_o the_o hebrew_n you_o be_v come_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a and_o to_o god_n the_o righteous_a judge_n of_o all_o etc._n etc._n but_o where_o be_v these_o hebrew_n be_v they_o yet_o alive_a or_o be_v they_o dead_a if_o dead_a how_o come_v his_o epistle_n to_o meet_v they_o but_o a_o wilful_a blindness_n be_v come_v over_o many_o of_o these_o servant_n and_o minister_n of_o darkness_n and_o they_o have_v rebellious_a heart_n against_o the_o light_n that_o discover_v their_o sin_n and_o will_v lead_v they_o out_o of_o it_o but_o because_o they_o have_v more_o love_n to_o sin_n then_o to_o the_o light_n therefore_o they_o seek_v to_o

which_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o apostle_n john_n 1_o joh._n 1.8_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o we_o out_o of_o which_o word_n every_o miserable_a and_o pitiful_a soldier_n of_o this_o great_a prince_n of_o darkness_n think_v he_o may_v arm_v himself_o sufficient_o to_o fight_v against_o that_o which_o will_v deliver_v they_o and_o make_v they_o free_a but_o if_o this_o scripture_n be_v see_v and_o read_v with_o that_o spirit_n by_o which_o and_o in_o which_o it_o be_v write_v then_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o this_o

that_o the_o enmity_n be_v great_a in_o the_o first_o birth_n and_o so_o that_o although_o he_o grow_v up_o to_o be_v a_o offerer_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o grow_v up_o in_o dominion_n over_o the_o
