A89860 What the possession of the living faith is, and the fruits thereof and wherein it hath been found to differ from the dead faith of the world, in the learning and following of Christ in the regeneration. With an opening of Light to all sorts of people that waits for the Kingdom of God; and a candle lighted to give the sight of the good old way of God, from the wayes that now ensnares the simple. Written by James Naylor in the time of his imprisonment, and now published by a friend. Naylor, James, 1617?-1660. 1659 (1659) Wing N328; ESTC R205424 58,748 72

man_n make_v but_o with_o his_o own_o gift_n which_o be_v good_a and_o perfect_a in_o every_o measure_n thereof_o and_o this_o also_o i_o have_v learn_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o declare_v to_o

measure_n till_o this_o day_n in_o it_o i_o prevail_v against_o what_o ever_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n lead_v i_o out_o therein_o and_o a_o shield_n i_o have_v find_v it_o and_o a_o growth_n in_o it_o towards_o christ_n jesus_n in_o every_o work_n of_o it_o wherein_o i_o have_v stand_v single_a to_o the_o end_n however_o tempt_v or_o try_v before_o the_o end_n appear_v yet_o in_o the_o end_n of_o that_o faith_n i_o be_v ever_o a_o conqueror_n through_o the_o spirit_n and_o whoever_o prove_v it_o to_o the_o end_n in_o singleness_n of_o heart_n shall_v be_v witness_n with_o i_o herein_o with_o a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n that_o have_v go_v before_o who_o by_o this_o holy_a faith_n have_v prevail_v over_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n and_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a rest_n who_o have_v not_o seek_v their_o own_o kingdom_n but_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o only_o this_o pure_a faith_n which_o work_v towards_o the_o appearance_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o action_n and_o suffering_n be_v that_o which_o order_v all_o thing_n in_o their_o place_n and_o time_n and_o fit_v all_o relation_n for_o his_o appearance_n therein_o to_o glorify_v god_n for_o god_n be_v not_o

faith_n work_v towards_o the_o heavenly_a appearance_n and_o the_o earthly_a faith_n to_o the_o earthly_a appearance_n and_o so_o faith_n in_o god_n be_v that_o which_o work_v effectual_o by_o love_n to_o the_o image_n and_o life_n of_o god_n in_o this_o world_n which_o be_v see_v only_o in_o his_o spiritual_a beget_n which_o be_v believe_v in_o and_o set_v above_o shine_v forth_o in_o every_o

love_n to_o which_o it_o work_v disobedience_n to_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o it_o can_v hold_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o glorify_v god_n with_o a_o earthly_a lover_n in_o the_o heart_n nor_o can_v one_o faith_n serve_v god_n and_o mammon_n so_o he_o that_o love_v the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v god_n enemy_n who_o faith_n withstand_v the_o appearance_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o action_n or_o suffering_n and_o so_o withstand_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o therein_o shall_v be_v manifest_a to_o all_o

the_o way_n of_o his_o come_n and_o to_o that_o end_n what_o christ_n real_o command_v to_o be_v bring_v forth_o of_o his_o life_n and_o virtue_n in_o real_a appearance_n this_o spirit_n serve_v

he_o set_v to_o oppose_v that_o life_n lest_o it_o shouldd_v be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n as_o for_o instance_n when_o christ_n faith_n in_o scripture_n he_o that_o smite_v thou_o on_o the_o one_o

and_o lead_v a_o example_n in_o himself_o and_o who_o ever_o receive_v the_o same_o spirit_n it_o move_v to_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o it_o grow_v in_o any_o and_o be_v obey_v will_v bring_v forth_o the_o same_o fruit_n to_o glorify_v the_o father_n thereof_o to_o all_o generation_n which_o spirit_n wax_v not_o old_a nor_o in_o its_o fruit_n barren_a where_o it_o be_v real_o receive_v in_o the_o

must_v have_v a_o spiritual_a meaning_n and_o this_o spiritual_a meaning_n of_o he_o be_v to_o devour_v the_o life_n of_o this_o obedience_n both_o in_o letter_n of_o christ_n and_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o set_v up_o a_o subtle_a meaning_n without_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n and_o contrary_a to_o his_o example_n and_o this_o he_o will_v have_v to_o take_v place_n in_o all_o both_o

of_o christ_n in_o he_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o and_o his_o body_n the_o temple_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n because_o he_o find_v these_o word_n in_o scripture_n but_o if_o any_o

in_o its_o own_o carnal_a comprehension_n many_o may_v witness_v but_o be_v never_o like_a to_o receive_v he_o in_o the_o same_o life_n and_o spirit_n and_o power_n in_o which_o he_o ever_o appear_v

after_o they_o have_v full_o believe_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o at_o jerusalem_n in_o that_o vessel_n and_o many_o other_o scripture_n do_v he_o open_v to_o i_o as_o i_o learn_v he_o which_o before_o to_o i_o be_v a_o mystery_n while_o i_o learn_v they_o in_o meaning_n without_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n which_o then_o be_v open_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o christ_n jesus_n as_o they_o come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o i_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n in_o that_o work_n of_o faith_n then_o come_v i_o to_o see_v that_o i_o through_o the_o law_n must_v be_v redeem_v

take_v occasion_n by_o it_o to_o strengthen_v itself_o in_o i_o but_o as_o i_o come_v to_o grow_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n i_o be_v in_o he_o bring_v through_o it_o it_o in_o he_o fulfil_v and_o i_o dead_a to_o it_o as_o it_o come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v and_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n i_o find_v true_a i_o come_v not_o to_o break_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o and_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o heaven_n &_o earth_n to_o pass_v away_o then_o one_o jot_n of_o the_o law_n to_o pass_v away_o tell_v it_o be_v fulfil_v and_o i_o need_v not_o a_o meaning_n to_o that_o scripture_n but_o a_o fulfil_n thereof_o in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o schoolmaster_n that_o bring_v to_o christ_n i_o learn_v &_o christ_n form_v &_o the_o heir_n under_o tutor_n before_o i_o know_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o perfect_a freedom_n and_o then_o i_o see_v the_o scripture_n can_v not_o be_v break_v nor_o wrest_v but_o it_o must_v be_v learn_v in_o the_o life_n of_o it_o to_o salvation_n which_o the_o unlearned_a wrist_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n by_o meaning_n without_o life_n and_o that_o it_o be_v of_o no_o private_a interpretation_n but_o this_o one_o spirit_n must_v open_v it_o all_o in_o the_o fulfil_n thereof_o and_o this_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n only_o be_v able_a to_o make_v wise_a unto_o salvation_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o then_o come_v i_o clear_o to_o see_v christ_n jesus_n set_v before_o i_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o i_o be_v to_o go_v through_o in_o that_o faith_n which_o i_o have_v first_o receive_v and_o that_o the_o attain_n of_o he_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o glory_n and_o no_o hope_n without_o he_o and_o this_o hope_n be_v as_o a_o anchor_n in_o all_o hardship_n and_o temptation_n which_o be_v not_o

he_o conform_v they_o to_o his_o own_o image_n which_o he_o have_v always_o bear_v in_o this_o world_n as_o say_v the_o scripture_n when_o he_o shall_v appear_v we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o who_o

and_o he_o that_o commit_v sin_n go_v out_o of_o that_o faith_n and_o act_n against_o it_o and_o a_o lie_a faith_n i_o have_v find_v that_o to_o be_v which_o persuade_v the_o soul_n of_o freedom_n from_o condemnation_n but_o give_v it_o not_o freedom_n from_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o condemnation_n and_o all_o shall_v witness_v this_o with_o i_o now_o or_o hereafter_o that_o where_o sin_n have_v power_n there_o death_n have_v power_n and_o the_o grave_n and_o hell_n and_o condemnation_n have_v power_n also_o for_o these_o be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n then_o shall_v you_o

for_o it_o already_o and_o this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o false_a faith_n to_o harden_v themselves_o against_o the_o faithful_a witness_n of_o god_n in_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o the_o sear_a conscience_n have_v make_v ship_n wrack_n of_o the_o faith_n christ_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n preach_v the_o faith_n of_o devil_n to_o give_v way_n to_o the_o work_n of_o

to_o encourage_v they_o therein_o but_o this_o persuasion_n which_o suit_n well_o with_o such_o as_o take_v pleasure_n in_o unrighteousness_n which_o persuasion_n come_v not_o of_o god_n but_o

of_o god_n in_o all_o who_o receive_v it_o free_o and_o mix_v nothing_o with_o it_o to_o darken_v it_o or_o stop_v his_o work_n and_o by_o this_o faith_n i_o be_o save_v from_o sin_n and_o

to_o believe_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o and_o so_o form_v a_o faith_n in_o himself_o and_o though_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o perfect_a when_o he_o have_v form_v it_o and_o make_v it_o with_o all_o his_o strength_n but_o many_o thing_n in_o scripture_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o saint_n but_o especial_o that_o of_o god_n in_o his_o own_o conscience_n will_v not_o suit_v with_o it_o

for_o the_o rest_n he_o believe_v it_o concern_v not_o he_o now_o in_o all_o thing_n at_o this_o day_n so_o to_o walk_v as_o they_o do_v and_o as_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o perfect_a in_o worship_n
