A Faithful and True WITNESS TO THE LIGHT OF Iesus Christ or Word of Faith WITHIN in the Heart and Conscience Proving that God alwayes did and doth reveal himself in it and through it to the Sons and Daughters of Men that they may believe and be saved And that no People ever knew God or themselves in any Measure in any Age or Generation under any Dispensation or Ministration whatsoever but in this Word of Faith that through it they might believe and be saved Also a Postscript in Answer to some base Lyes and Reflections cast upon me by William Haworth an Independent Preacher Christopher Taylor Printed in the Year 1675. A Faithful True WITNESS TO THE Light of Jesus Christ c. TO you all Professors and People a Word of Exhortation that you turn in your Minds to the Light of Jesus Christ within in your Consciences that with it you may see where you are and find the true Way to Everlasting Life and do not call that natural in Opposition to the Light and Spirit of Christ which revealeth to Man his Thoughts and lets him see the Intents of his Heart whether they be good or evil and all that ever he doth for no other Way can any Man come to the Knowledge of God or of himself but by this Means neither did ever any Man know God but by this Way Christ the Way Truth and Life who enlightneth every Man that cometh into the World this was the Word of Faith in Adam's Heart whereby he knew what God required of him in his Paradical State it was the Word of his Understanding and Belief and in this there was Power to have preserved him if he had trusted and staid his Mind in it and in it he had known no Evil but in the Eternal Sence of the Love Power and Wisdom of the Creator he had been preserved but going from this he fell into Sin and Transgression of the Mind of the Lord and was ashamed because that which he fell from and turned from the Counsel of revealed unto him his Sin and his Nakedness and then he would have hid himself to have escaped Shame and Condemnation so that here was his Condemnation the Light and is the Condemnation of all in him and with this Light all the Sons of the disobedient old Adam are found out whether they be Professors or Prophane and it is in vain for any to hide themselves under any Pretence or Profession of Religion whatsoever for they will be found out condemned and be made ashamed and their Nakedness will appear Oh all ye Professors and Prophane consider and hearken to the Counsel of God in the Light be wise-hearted and learn in it first to know your Estate and Inward Condition and also to know the Lord the Seed of the Woman to bruise the Scrpent's Head for by this Principle he doth and ever did speak to Mankind in general even to their Hearts and Consciences and it was the true Word of Faith in their Hearts when God spake to Abraham Isaac and Jacob and Moses and the holy Prophets who spoak forth the Scriptures as they were moved by the Holy Ghost and in this Principle the Light or Word of Faith they received the holy Doctrine of God by this Infallible Spirit and Guide raised up to open their Understandings by which they knew the Lord and the Revelation of his Mind what they were to speak or reveal to any People it was the same in that Day the Light of God or Christ the Word of true Faith and if any would nicely distinguish and say it was the Light of God the Father or Creator but not of Christ the Saviour and Redeemer I answer the Lord God made the World by the same Word that was in the Beginning with God and was God which Word became Flesh in whom was Life and the Life was the Light of Men and so God made all Things by him and without him was nothing made that was made and all Power in Heaven and Earth is given to him Mat. 28. 18. And all Judgment Joh. 5. 22. Neither can there be Eternal Judgment without him in the Hearts and Consciences of Men therefore it is absurd to say It is not the spiritual saving Light of Jesus Christ the Word or Son of God for if it be a Light that either judges or condemns for Sin within or saves from it then it is the Light of Christ and no other and therefore spiritual and saving and powerful in the working and a Manifestation of it to all that believe because it is a Measure of and from the living God and his Eternal Powerful Word and Wisdom and is piercing and searching within to discover unto Man his Sin though never so secr●t and with it and in it God tryes Mens Hearts and Reins and God's Eternal Judgment is set up in it And therefore this is to check the Absurdity of that base Reflection cast upon it by many who profess to teach others the Way of God who say It is a Natural Light in Opposition to the Spiritual Light of Christ and herein they manifestly contradict their own Doctrine who in Word preach for Doctrine and say Christ is all in all and confess That all Judgment is delivered to the Son and yet deny it again and yet most of them confess that to be true Judgment set up in the Hearts of Men and Women by this Light within and hereby they confess People may read their Condemnation and that it judges People for their inward Thoughts Words and Deeds and yet they call this Natural and cry down the Spirituality of it as from Christ Jesus and so derogate from their own Doctrine and Christ's Authority who imagine another Judgment set up in the Heart and Conscience before Christ come by a Natural Light and if so then all Power and Judgment is not committed to the Son neither is Christ as to Mans Salvation or Condemnation all in all and therefore they are in the Dark groping for the Light at Noon day and put Natural for Spiritual for the Light must needs be spiritual which judgeth the spiritual Matters of a Man's Heart and Conscience his secretest Thoughts of his Heart that ever he thought his Affections and his Inteutions which are all Spiritual or from a Man's Spirit to be judged or discerned by no Natural Man or Natural Thing All will grant That no Man knows the particular Thoughts and Intents of another Man's Heart as relating to Good or Evil but by the Revelation of Gods Spirit therefore it must needs be the Revelation of God's Spirit and Light within that makes manifest to a Man his own inward Thoughts and spiritual Cogitations that he may discern whether they be good or evil So this Light and Manifestation of the Spirit of God was alwayes the same in its Nature it never changed nor ever will but stood and stands a Witness for God in all Ages and Generations to witness
