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

for_o certain_o this_o divine_a principle_n which_o be_v in_o thou_o be_v not_o altogether_o idle_a or_o without_o operation_n it_o be_v of_o a_o most_o active_a or_o operative_a nature_n even_o as_o fire_n and_o light_n in_o the_o outward_a can_v the_o outward_a sun_n shine_v and_o enlighten_v the_o earth_n and_o have_v no_o operation_n nor_o influence_n upon_o it_o or_o can_v the_o fire_n burn_v and_o have_v no_o operation_n or_o influence_n upon_o what_o be_v next_o unto_o it_o nay_o sure_o and_o therefore_o no_o more_o can_v this_o divine_a principle_n and_o light_n be_v in_o any_o soul_n but_o it_o must_v certain_o and_o infallible_o have_v some_o influence_n and_o operation_n upon_o that_o soul_n in_o who_o it_o be_v and_o that_o in_o order_n to_o salvation_n who_o day_n of_o visitation_n be_v not_o expire_v and_o the_o most_o proper_a operation_n of_o it_o in_o the_o first_o place_n be_v to_o convince_v the_o soul_n of_o truth_n i_o mean_v of_o somewhat_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o somewhat_o of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o what_o he_o do_v accept_v and_o be_v well_o please_v with_o and_o what_o he_o do_v reject_v and_o abhor_v the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n heb._n 4.12_o be_v live_v and_o powerful_a or_o operative_a and_o sharp_a than_o any_o two_o edge_a sword_n pierce_v even_o to_o the_o divide_v asunder_o of_o soul_n and_o spirit_n and_o of_o the_o joint_n and_o marrow_n and_o be_v a_o discerner_n judge_n or_o reprover_n of_o the_o thought_n and_o intent_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o this_o word_n be_v in_o all_o even_o in_o the_o mouth_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o every_o man_n and_o be_v that_o word_n of_o faith_n as_o paul_n do_v expound_v it_o rom._n 10.8_o now_o if_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v also_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n for_o in_o that_o word_n be_v life_n and_o the_o life_n be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a light_n that_o do_v lighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n as_o john_n declare_v 1.9_o now_o mark_v the_o word_n lighten_v which_o do_v import_v its_o active_a and_o operative_a influence_n and_o virtue_n in_o all_o man_n in_o some_o measure_n or_o degree_n real_o to_o convince_v they_o and_o although_o there_o be_v great_a darkness_n over_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n of_o all_o unconverted_a man_n and_o woman_n that_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v darkness_n yet_o as_o john_n have_v declare_v the_o light_n shine_v in_o darkness_n although_o the_o darkness_n comprehend_v it_o not_o 1.5_o so_o the_o light_n not_o only_o be_v in_o the_o darkness_n but_o it_o shine_v in_o the_o darkness_n and_o work_v against_o the_o darkness_n to_o reveal_v it_o and_o remove_v it_o even_o as_o the_o darkness_n do_v work_v in_o the_o soul_n to_o hide_v and_o obscure_v the_o light_n and_o as_o it_o be_v to_o extinguish_v and_o quench_v it_o in_o the_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v a_o most_o absurd_a thing_n to_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o natural_a principle_n have_v its_o operation_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o be_v not_o without_o its_o influence_n and_o force_n to_o move_v and_o act_v the_o soul_n as_o also_o that_o the_o principle_n of_o darkness_n to_o wit_n the_o diabolical_a or_o hellish_a principle_n even_o the_o very_a spirit_n of_o satan_n have_v its_o operation_n and_o influence_n in_o all_o man_n in_o who_o it_o be_v and_o yet_o to_o deny_v that_o this_o divine_a principle_n that_o be_v in_o nature_n more_o powerful_a and_o more_o operative_a than_o either_o of_o the_o other_o two_o have_v any_o

affliction_n suffering_n and_o trial_n for_o by_o these_o that_o hide_a divine_a virtue_n and_o perfection_n which_o be_v in_o the_o centre_n both_o of_o his_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v raise_v up_o

and_o physician_n and_o thus_o be_v our_o bless_a lord_n use_v both_o in_o his_o soul_n and_o body_n his_o deep_a sufring_n in_o both_o be_v like_o a_o wine-press_n which_o serve_v to_o squeeze_v and_o press_v out_o the_o hide_a wine_n that_o be_v in_o his_o grape_n even_o that_o pure_a and_o precious_a water_n and_o blood_n which_o come_v out_o at_o his_o side_n on_o the_o cross_n and_o when_o in_o the_o garden_n he_o sweat_v that_o drop_n of_o blood_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n these_o very_a drop_n of_o water_n and_o blood_n have_v a_o most_o excellent_a virtue_n in_o they_o beyond_o what_o man_n heart_n be_v able_a to_o conceive_v of_o whereby_o they_o enter_v into_o the_o very_a kernel_n and_o quintessence_n of_o the_o whole_a creation_n to_o its_o very_a heart_n for_o its_o deliverance_n and_o restauration_n and_o this_o be_v as_o a_o seed_n that_o be_v then_o sow_v in_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o the_o outward_a nature_n by_o which_o it_o be_v bless_v of_o god_n in_o some_o measure_n and_o through_o which_o it_o shall_v in_o due_a time_n be_v perfect_o deliver_v and_o cure_v of_o its_o vanity_n corruption_n and_o bondage_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o at_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n the_o whole_a outward_a creation_n fall_v into_o a_o wonderful_a passion_n and_o suffering_n in_o so_o much_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a darkness_n over_o all_o and_o the_o very_a earth_n be_v as_o it_o be_v rent_n for_o that_o secret_a and_o excellent_a virtue_n which_o go_v forth_o from_o he_o at_o his_o suffering_n even_o in_o the_o water_n and_o the_o blood_n pierce_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o world_n and_o wrought_v in_o it_o like_o physic_n that_o work_v strong_o against_o the_o corrupt_a humour_n in_o man_n body_n that_o do_v great_o affect_v the_o body_n with_o suffering_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v even_o fit_a that_o the_o creation_n shall_v after_o its_o manner_n suffer_v with_o he_o which_o be_v to_o partake_v of_o such_o glorious_a effect_n through_o his_o suffering_n and_o though_o the_o outward_a creation_n be_v not_o yet_o cure_v through_o the_o secret_a virtue_n of_o that_o water_n and_o blood_n no_o nor_o yet_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n yet_o in_o due_a time_n they_o shall_v even_o through_o and_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o these_o suffering_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v above_o so_o do_v i_o again_o repeat_v it_o that_o it_o may_v have_v the_o more_o weight_n viz._n that_o we_o be_v not_o too_o nice_o to_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o influence_n and_o effect_n of_o his_o outward_a and_o inward_a suffering_n but_o to_o understand_v they_o in_o a_o perfect_a conjunction_n and_o that_o the_o end_n of_o his_o suffer_v in_o both_o be_v this_o viz._n 1._o both_o to_o quench_v and_o allay_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o be_v kindle_v both_o in_o man_n soul_n and_o body_n and_o also_o in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o 2._o to_o purify_v and_o cure_v both_o man_n and_o also_o the_o outward_a creation_n from_o corruption_n vanity_n and_o bondage_n and_o so_o in_o relation_n to_o man_n this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o obedience_n life_n and_o righteousness_n both_o inward_o and_o outward_o have_v a_o very_a bless_a influence_n upon_o man_n both_o to_o remove_v the_o wrath_n and_o also_o to_o remove_v sin_n the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o to_o bring_v in_o everlasting_a righteousness_n to_o cover_v the_o soul_n with_o by_o a_o real_a participation_n of_o it_o over_z and_o beyond_o all_o imaginary_a reckon_n and_o imputation_n of_o man_n though_o the_o imputation_n of_o god_n unto_o man_n ●we_v own_o and_o this_o i_o say_v further_o that_o the_o wrath_n be_v no_o further_o remove_v from_o man_n by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n obedience_n and_o suffering_n than_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v remove_v and_o thus_o justification_n and_o mortification_n and_o sanctification_n go_v on_o equal_o and_o by_o what_o be_v say_v way_n be_v also_o make_v for_o clear_v of_o that_o concern_v christ_n his_o bear_v the_o wrath_n and_o anger_n of_o god_n for_o we_o to_o which_o i_o say_v he_o do_v so_o bear_v it_o indeed_o that_o he_o bear_v it_o up_o from_o fall_v upon_o we_o in_o its_o full_a weight_n which_o if_o it_o have_v do_v it_o will_v have_v sink_v we_o into_o a_o eternal_a state_n of_o misery_n and_o he_o stand_v in_o the_o way_n and_o bear_v it_o off_o that_o it_o do_v not_o drown_v and_o consume_v we_o with_o everlasting_a death_n and_o destruction_n but_o that_o he_o do_v bear_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n either_o in_o that_o manner_n or_o measure_n which_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n do_v or_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v have_v not_o the_o lord_n recover_v we_o i_o altogether_o deny_v for_o he_o can_v and_o do_v satisfy_v the_o father_n well_o and_o acceptable_o without_o bear_v it_o in_o that_o way_n but_o if_o it_o be_v query_v if_o he_o suffer_v by_o that_o wrath_n when_o he_o stand_v betwixt_o we_o and_o it_o i_o answer_v he_o suffer_v a_o trial_n and_o chastisement_n by_o it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v call_v a_o chastisement_n but_o it_o can_v never_o be_v say_v that_o the_o father_n be_v offend_v or_o displease_v with_o he_o even_o while_o he_o suffer_v for_o we_o for_o the_o father_n be_v satisfy_v and_o well_o please_v in_o he_o in_o his_o great_a suffering_n which_o he_o do_v bear_v in_o most_o perfect_a resignation_n love_n and_o willingness_n both_o to_o please_v his_o father_n and_o also_o to_o save_v and_o reconcile_v man_n unto_o god_n and_o though_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o withdraw_v that_o sensible_a comfort_n from_o he_o when_o he_o suffer_v on_o the_o cross_n it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o displeasure_n towards_o he_o but_o for_o a_o trial_n and_o as_o be_v say_v to_o raise_v up_o and_o draw_v forth_o that_o excellent_a virtue_n and_o perfection_n that_o be_v in_o he_o the_o more_o so_o it_o please_v the_o father_n to_o
