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 truth_n judge_n and_o for_o those_o word_n 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 whoever_o read_v the_o next_o word_n may_v plain_o see_v that_o they_o be_v speak_v of_o a_o condition_n before_o confession_n and_o cleanse_v else_o the_o same_o apostle_n shall_v contradict_v himself_o who_o say_v he_o that_o abide_v in_o

your_o deceit_n and_o for_o that_o in_o rom._n 4._o and_o 5._o it_o be_v true_a no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o own_o work_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v in_o we_o but_o do_v that_o 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 christ_n will_v justify_v they_o in_o their_o ungodliness_n count_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n a_o unholy_a thing_n which_o be_v to_o cleanse_v people_n from_o their_o sin_n and_o not_o to_o justify_v they_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o here_o i_o charge_v you_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o here_o you_o reason_n to_o encourage_v people_n in_o ungodliness_n to_o your_o ten_o position_n no_o real_a saint_n but_o he_o that_o be_v perfect_a and_o perfect_o holy_a in_o this_o life_n and_o do_v not_o sin_n and_o in_o your_o reply_n 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 be_v heal_v but_o your_o discover_v be_v that_o none_o can_v be_v free_a from_o it_o while_o they_o live_v nor_o do_v we_o say_v you_o plead_v for_o sin_n in_o your_o discover_v of_o sin_n but_o in_o 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 saint_n be_v sick_a or_o under_o any_o spiritual_a imperfection_n your_o charge_n be_v false_a for_o the_o saint_n growth_n i_o own_o and_o the_o time_n of_o a_o child_n i_o own_o and_o the_o growth_n till_o the_o overcome_a and_o do_v not_o deny_v seek_v after_o the_o healing_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o witness_v it_o effectual_a for_o cleanse_v and_o overcome_v which_o you_o deny_v 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 satan_n and_o that_o which_o the_o saint_n have_v witness_v and_o do_v witness_n you_o will_v render_v it_o under_o the_o name_n of_o conceit_n and_o charge_v they_o to_o make_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o vain_a but_o whether_o do_v they_o who_o witness_v the_o end_n for_o which_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v which_o be_v to_o cleanse_v from_o all_o sin_n 1_o joh._n 1._o 7._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 blood_n of_o christ_n but_o to_o their_o own_o light_n to_o save_v they_o o_o you_o filthy_a slanderer_n who_o matter_n not_o what_o you_o speak_v against_o the_o truth_n where_o do_v ever_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 without_o it_o that_o be_v your_o deceit_n for_o all_o be_v miserable_a till_o they_o be_v cleanse_v by_o christ_n and_o then_o who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n elect_v who_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o by_o the_o lamb_n of_o god_n and_o such_o deny_v self-righteousnes_n and_o though_o paul_n do_v witness_v his_o warfare_n which_o we_o witness_v also_o in_o our_o measure_n yet_o afterward_o he_o do_v witness_v his_o overcome_a and_o be_v more_o than_o a_o conqueror_n and_o whereas_o you_o talk_v of_o cover_v sin_n daily_o his_o sin_n who_o be_v once_o cover_v be_v not_o daily_o to_o cover_v but_o once_o for_o ever_o if_o he_o abide_v in_o christ_n and_o return_v not_o into_o sin_n again_o and_o be_v make_v heir_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o such_o deny_v self-righteousness_n and_o whereas_o you_o charge_v we_o with_o blasphemous_a heresy_n deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v we_o rail_v pride_n lie_v reproach_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n

be_v guilty_a of_o they_o and_o the_o lord_n that_o buy_v we_o we_o own_o who_o you_o that_o be_v sell_v to_o sin_n can_v witness_v rail_a pride_n and_o lie_v we_o abhor_v and_o witness_v against_o they_o in_o you_o who_o live_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o you_o hate_v we_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n we_o own_o but_o deny_v your_o tradition_n the_o messenger_n of_o jesus_n we_o own_o and_o their_o call_n and_o deny_v you_o who_o scorn_v the_o immediate_a call_n of_o christ_n and_o will_v cast_v it_o off_o as_o blasphemy_n on_o they_o who_o he_o have_v call_v and_o so_o witness_v yourselves_o to_o be_v of_o those_o who_o run_v unsent_a and_o here_o you_o be_v discover_v and_o your_o cover_n be_v too_o narrow_a and_o your_o bed_n be_v too_o short_a and_o the_o word_n of_o job_n we_o own_o and_o deny_v self-justification_n and_o witness_v ourselves_o justify_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n bring_v near_o unto_o we_o which_o be_v not_o a_o break_a reed_n as_o you_o will_v call_v it_o but_o will_v stand_v we_o in_o stead_n in_o the_o evil_a day_n and_o our_o walk_n with_o god_n in_o his_o righteousness_n be_v our_o cover_n from_o wrath_n for_o which_o you_o

in_o which_o whoever_o walk_v with_o god_n be_v cover_v from_o wrath_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o his_o people_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o yet_o man_n must_v commit_v sin_n while_o they_o live_v here_o be_v your_o confusion_n lay_v open_a to_o all_o man_n and_o you_o who_o live_v in_o sin_n which_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o

the_o devil_n be_v alive_a in_o you_o and_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n you_o know_v not_o for_o what_o christ_n former_o do_v destroy_v upon_o

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 pride_n and_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n will_v not_o take_v up_o and_o therefore_o the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n remain_v in_o you_o undestroy_v and_o for_o the_o scripture_n you_o allege_v do_v 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 to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o for_o the_o father_n time_n be_v to_o day_n to_o they_o that_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n and_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n without_o sin_n unto_o salvation_n and_o present_v spotless_a be_v witness_v and_o whereas_o you_o go_v about_o to_o make_v people_n believe_v that_o though_o they_o die_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n yet_o they_o shall_v be_v complete_a in_o christ_n 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 scripture_n which_o do_v say_v that_o perfection_n and_o holiness_n be_v reserve_v till_o after_o death_n or_o that_o any_o shall_v inherit_v they_o after_o death_n or_o one_o scripture_n that_o say_v man_n shall_v live_v in_o sin_n while_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n who_o can_v witness_v they_o here_o but_o as_o man_n die_v so_o shall_v they_o come_v to_o judgement_n and_o so_o shall_v be_v proceed_v against_o without_o any_o holiness_n add_v to_o they_o after_o death_n and_o thus_o you_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o deceive_v soul_n and_o hold_v thing_n contrary_a to_o plain_a scripture_n 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

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

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

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

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
