A60654	Something written concerning the worlds creed, or, What they teach their children to believe for a belief of words cannot save the soul, but a belief in the light, Christ Jesus, the word of God ...	Smith, William, d. 1673.	1660 (1660)	Wing S4332; ESTC R10110	4,741	10

Conscience convinceth man of sin and evil and sheweth him the errour of his way through which man comes to see his way out of the world being turned to the light and in it believing which is the way to the Father Joh. 14 6. So that them who are the true believers that believe in God believe in the light are come to know a measure of God within themselves that is to be believed in and they who believe in Jesus Christ his Son believe in the light which he hath enlightned them withall which is little or the least of all seeds which the kingdom of heaven is likened unto to the earthly man in its first appearance to whom the Parables were spoken and this light is that which is to be believed in and brings into its own likenesse to be little and low to become a child of the light otherwise not being turned unto and believed in it may be there as the talent hid in the earth which doth not increase while it lyes hid and under the clods but there is a time that the seed must arise if ever it grow and come from under the earth and grow over the earth before it come to ripening this little seed of the kingdom must before it be gathered into the barn abide many storms in its growth and so through the growth of the seed the mysteries of Gods kingdom come to be known which is revealed in the light for whatsoever maketh manifest is light through which Christ within the mystery hid comes to be known Eph. 5.13 his Resurrection Ascension Death and Burial and what it was in man driven out into the earth that crucified him and buried him which is to be crucified and so comes Captivity to be led captive by him who descended first into the lower parts of the earth and there God the Father comes to be believed in where the light is obeyed and believed and Christ is Lord where the seed immortal comes to reign otherwise their faith is dead who are yet in their sins and not come to believe in the light wherewith Christ hath enlightned them and have not the faith of Gods Elect the faith that purifieth the heart and so in the dead estate believe that which they neither see nor feel nor taste nor handle the unpurified state but who come to see to feel to taste to handle come to a principal that is living of God that is living in themselves so what he hath seen and heard that he comes to believe and that he can declare unto others and believes not onely because others have declared it but having seen and felt it in their own principle and such can give Testimony of the just that are come into the faith of the just that liveth and such know their Testimony is faithful and true that have born testimony of him and confirm the Scriptures and are confirmed by them and so lay them not waste but bear testimony of the truth of them wrought in themselves having the same things fulfilled in them according to their measure as was in them that gave them forth One Spirit one Lord one Faith one Baptism that serve the Lord with one consent where the Lord is one his Truth one and his Spirit one wherein he is worshipped such are of the one family that grow up and meet together in the unity of the faith that know the Religion that is pure and come to the faith that purifies the heart where there is no jars nor janglings about Sacraments divers washing and carnal Ordinances that are come to the house and know its out-goings and in-comings and know the Ordinances of the house and are fed with the good things of his house who is the Father of Spirits And thus the children of the light that believe in the light feed together and are nourished up together all feeding upon the one bread the bread of life that nourisheth up unto eternal life and this is another manner of feeding another kind of Baptism then what the worlds Professors call their Sacraments and so you must first be baptized into his death before you come to be partakers of his life and he that comes to this comes to the substance the thing it self not to shews figures and shadows to keep people in that but to be partakers of that which is living the bread of life and to drink of the water of life from the spring of life plunging the deadly part under where this Baptism is witnessed the one Baptism baptized by the one Spirit into the one body 1 Cor. 12.13 and so the Baptism must be known before the table be come unto which the Saints have declared and were witnesses of Therefore you who have been in these things so long and in such a belief consider whether your faith have yet purified your heart or given you victory over the world or when it will that say you believe in God in Christ and in the Spirit and yet believe not in the light for God is light and the Spirit enlightneth the understanding and Christ is the true light of the world can you believe in all these and not believe in the light or is that the true faith where the light is not believed in which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world or is a confession of words or repetition of words enough to save the soul for the Heathen had that which thought they should be heard for their much speaking who knew not God but a belief in the light in the Lord Jesus Christ that brings the salvation for with the heart man believeth which is more then words and he that believeth is not condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already the Light is his condemnation Cain was the first blood-shedder because his Brothers Offering was accepted and his was not for no other reason and all that is of Cains Generation are blood-shedders according to the Scripture 1. Epistle of John 3. Chapter and the 12. and 15. verses for how can any one whatsoever say the Lords Prayer in deed in truth when we pray forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us so that they that say this and do it not bring a curse upon themselves instead of a blessing for they desire others to do by them as they do by others W.
