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

scripture_n say_v he_o justify_v the_o ugodly_a in_o his_o ungodliness_n or_o he_o that_o by_o faith_n become_v obedient_a as_o abraham_n do_v and_o you_o that_o will_v persuade_v people_n that_o

you_o be_v offend_v with_o our_o charge_v you_o with_o plead_v for_o sin_n and_o you_o say_v you_o foresee_v it_o i_o answer_v it_o seem_v something_o in_o your_o conscience_n accuse_v you_o that_o we_o can_v do_v no_o less_o as_o may_v appear_v to_o all_o who_o read_v your_o word_n who_o will_v make_v people_n believe_v the_o saint_n be_v real_a and_o yet_o live_v in_o sin_n but_o this_o be_v of_o the_o same_o with_o your_o former_a who_o say_v that_o while_o a_o man_n be_v curse_v and_o deny_v christ_n he_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o justification_n now_o what_o justification_n you_o own_o all_o may_v see_v when_o you_o say_v he_o that_o deny_v christ_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o justification_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v to_o discover_v sin_n be_v not_o to_o plead_v for_o it_o and_o many_o deceitful_a word_n you_o use_v and_o bring_v in_o a_o comparison_n of_o a_o physician_n discover_v a_o consumption_n to_o that_o end_n that_o the_o patient_n may_v be_v heal_v and_o this_o you_o say_v be_v the_o very_a case_n between_o you_o and_o nayler_n i_o answer_v your_o comparison_n will_v not_o hold_v for_o the_o physician_n discover_v the_o disease_n that_o there_o may_v

that_o you_o say_v no_o man_n shall_v ever_o be_v without_o it_o and_o here_o you_o plead_v that_o man_n shall_v serve_v the_o devil_n as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v for_o he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o servant_n of_o sin_n and_o such_o a_o one_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o nayler_n will_v not_o hear_v of_o the_o

and_o say_v that_o to_o witness_v perfection_n and_o holiness_n and_o the_o overcome_a of_o sin_n be_v real_o to_o plead_v for_o sin_n and_o to_o strengthen_v the_o bar_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o

or_o they_o that_o deny_v it_o make_v it_o in_o vain_a and_o whereas_o you_o say_v the_o practice_n of_o quaker_n both_o in_o their_o speak_n and_o write_v be_v never_o to_o send_v soul_n to_o the_o

you_o use_v many_o word_n and_o bring_v many_o scripture_n as_o to_o make_v people_n believe_v that_o we_o hold_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n needless_a or_o that_o man_n can_v be_v cleanse_v
