A89849	A salutation to the seed of God. And a call out of Babylon, and Egypt, from amongst the magitians, where the house of bondage is, and the imaginations rules above the seed of God, the cause of all blindnes, and condemnation. Also that which is perfect made manifest, even everlasting righteousnesse, which endures for all generations, ... With the way to him, set forth most for such as groan for freedome from the power of sin; but may be serviceable to all who loves his appearance. Also a testimony from Christ what he is in this world, and where he is; ... Also a suite to such rulers, magistrates, and governours, as have not wholly hardened their hearts, and stopt the eare against the voyce of the spirit, that they may hear and their soules may live, and be established a blessing to the nations. With some things more added to this second impression. / Written in love to all your soules, by him who is called James Naylor.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1655 (1655)	Wing N310; Thomason E852_25	31,397	40

purity_n and_o perfection_n which_o we_o have_v in_o the_o holy_a god_n as_o all_o ever_o have_v who_o live_v in_o he_o and_o in_o he_o be_v truth_n and_o freedom_n but_o a_o lie_n there_o be_v in_o

from_o that_o you_o will_v be_v run_v to_o ask_v counsel_n at_o they_o who_o know_v not_o your_o condition_n so_o instead_o of_o god_n you_o confess_v to_o man_n that_o can_v judge_v you_o nor_o help_v you_o while_o you_o go_v to_o the_o natural_a you_o leave_v the_o spiritual_a and_o so_o with_o natural_a word_n you_o seed_n the_o natural_a comprehension_n but_o the_o spiritual_a man_n

the_o seed_n of_o the_o kingdom_n tread_v under_o foot_n by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o nothing_o else_o lead_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o who_o kingdom_n be_v not_o

which_o lead_v he_o out_o out_o of_o the_o world_n wherein_o he_o become_v a_o stranger_n and_o wanderer_n as_o that_o seed_n ever_o be_v which_o you_o call_v vagabond_n persecute_v and_o imprison_v you_o that_o have_v rule_n in_o this_o world_n show_v that_o you_o be_v not_o of_o that_o seed_n that_o entertain_v stranger_n nor_o in_o that_o covenant_n where_o all_o be_v stranger_n and_o

that_o we_o can_v true_o say_v here_o he_o be_v all_o and_o self_n be_v nothing_o but_o abhor_v because_o it_o be_v pollute_v the_o eye_n be_v now_o open_v that_o be_v only_o take_v with_o affection_n

and_o harlot_n take_v the_o kingdom_n before_o they_o but_o you_o say_v must_v we_o not_o pray_v then_o i_o say_v wait_v for_o the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n which_o only_o be_v hear_v and_o without_o which_o none_o know_v what_o to_o pray_v for_o &_o with_o that_o prayer_n which_o help_v the_o infirmity_n and_o give_v the_o understanding_n only_o such_o be_v answer_v in_o what_o they_o pray_v for_o what_o effect_n have_v thy_o prayer_n which_o be_v abomination_n do_v god_n hear_v a_o contrary_a spirit_n thou_o that_o delight_v in_o wickedness_n god_n will_v not_o hear_v that_o prayer_n that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o covenant_n and_o thou_o be_v in_o that_o nature_n that_o god_n have_v curse_v from_o he_o and_z its_z in_o vain_a for_o thou_o to_o bless_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o nothing_o you_o do_v be_v accept_v because_o it_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o disobedient_a curse_a nature_n and_o there_o be_v cain_n sacrifice_n and_o esan_n prayer_n and_o tear_n and_o you_o that_o abide_v in_o that_o nature_n be_v of_o those_o who_o say_v why_o have_v we_o fast_v and_o pray_v and_o thou_o have_v not_o regard_v you_o call_v but_o receive_v no_o answer_n but_o do_v you_o but_o mind_n that_o in_o your_o conscience_n which_o be_v pure_a you_o will_v see_v how_o often_o he_o have_v call_v to_o you_o and_o check_v you_o for_o sin_n but_o you_o have_v not_o answer_v there_o may_v you_o read_v the_o cause_n why_o you_o call_v but_o he_o do_v not_o answer_n as_o he_o have_v say_v because_o i_o call_v and_o you_o will_v not_o answer_v therefore_o when_o you_o cry_v i_o will_v not_o answer_v and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o you_o who_o observe_v the_o outward_a worship_n but_o mind_n not_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v give_v to_o profit_v withal_o in_o the_o

with_o the_o form_n but_o not_o in_o the_o power_n with_o man_n in_o word_n but_o not_o with_o god_n and_o so_o your_o time_n be_v in_o your_o own_o hand_n and_o you_o have_v resolve_v they_o beforehand_o and_o you_o have_v a_o time_n to_o pray_v and_o a_o time_n to_o play_v a_o time_n to_o abstain_v from_o your_o lust_n and_o a_o time_n to_o fulfil_v your_o lust_n a_o day_n to_o abstain_v from_o the_o world_n and_o day_n to_o conform_v to_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o not_o be_v guide_v with_o that_o spirit_n which_o be_v before_o all_o to_o lead_v and_o bring_v you_o out_o of_o time_n you_o be_v still_o in_o observation_n and_o your_o time_n of_o religion_n and_o your_o time_n in_o the_o world_n your_o custom_n in_o religion_n and_o your_o custom_n in_o the_o world_n be_v both_o in_o your_o own_o will_n and_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o so_o your_o prayer_n be_v abomination_n and_o your_o plow_a sin_n but_o the_o time_n of_o son_n and_o daughter_n be_v not_o in_o their_o own_o
