A47199	The way to the city of God described, or, A plain declaration how any man may, within the day of visitation given him of God, pass out of the unrighteous into the righteous state as also how he may go forward in the way of holiness and righteousness, and so be fitted for the kingdom of God, and the beholding and enjoying thereof : wherein divers things, which occur to them, that enter into this way with respect to their inward trials, temptations, and difficulties are pointed at, and directions intimated, how to carry themselves therein ... / written by George Keith in the year 1669 ... : whereunto is added the way to discern the convictions, motions, &c of the spirit of God, and divine principle in us, from those of a man's own natural reason, &c.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1678 (1678)	Wing K235; ESTC R33462	109,527	235

a_o distance_n from_o it_o and_o but_o look_v to_o it_o afar_o off_o it_o will_v only_o make_v we_o perceive_v its_o light_n so_o as_o to_o give_v we_o a_o discovery_n of_o thing_n but_o we_o will_v know_v nothing_o of_o its_o fieriness_n more_o than_o if_o it_o be_v not_o fire_n at_o all_o but_o if_o we_o come_v near_o unto_o it_o so_o as_o to_o hold_v our_o hand_n or_o any_o other_o member_n of_o our_o body_n nigh_o unto_o it_o we_o will_v then_o find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o fire_n and_o be_v very_o sensible_a of_o its_o fiery_a operation_n so_o that_o if_o we_o take_v not_o away_o the_o

will_v find_v this_o divine_a principle_n and_o the_o appearance_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n therein_o to_o be_v as_o a_o fire_n in_o thou_o turn_v in_o thy_o mind_n and_o heart_n unto_o it_o yet_o more_o near_o and_o intimate_o and_o persist_v therein_o and_o thou_o will_v find_v it_o not_o only_o to_o be_v in_o thou_o a_o shine_a light_n but_o a_o burn_a light_n also_o yea_o at_o first_o and_o for_o some_o time_n follow_v rather_o burn_v than_o shine_v wherefore_o turn_v in_o and_o convert_v not_o only_a thy_o understanding_n unto_o it_o but_o thy_o will_n and_o affection_n thou_o will_v find_v its_o power_n even_o to_o kill_v and_o destroy_v the_o evil_n of_o thy_o heart_n no_o less_o than_o to_o discover_v they_o and_o hereby_o thou_o will_v receive_v not_o only_o a_o

and_o so_o they_o remain_v as_o bad_a and_o evil_a in_o heart_n as_o the_o most_o ignorant_a yea_o many_o time_n they_o be_v worse_o for_o what_o they_o know_v natural_o as_o brute_n beast_n they_o
