A89842	The light of Christ, and the word of life. Cleared from the deceipts of the Deceiver, and his litterall weapons turned upon his owne head. Also the man of sin found out, who is hiding himselfe in a heape of confusion, pretending Antichrist is not yet come. Occasioned by laying open some deceipts in a booke titled, The deceiv'd and deceiving Quakers discovered; subscribed Mathew Caffin and William Jeffery, brethren in iniquitie, who are joyned to deny God, Christ, the light, and spirit, in his saints, and calls it teaching Christs spirit apart from his body, and an evill spirit, to witnesse the spirit of Christ in the saints. Set forth that the simple may see the wiles the devill hath to keepe them from the word of life, the soules salvation. / By a lover of Israels seede, called James Nayler.

sin_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o present_o the_o serpent_n get_v a_o scripture_n to_o plead_v for_o it_o and_o so_o to_o give_v god_n the_o lie_n which_o be_v his_o work_n before_o the_o letter_n be_v to_o wit_n to_o oppose_v the_o word_n in_o open_a lie_v but_o now_o have_v get_v the_o letter_n to_o hide_v he_o and_o can_v now_o come_v as_o bold_o with_o it_o be_v write_v luke_n 4._o 10._o to_o uphold_v his_o sin_n and_o imperfection_n as_o ever_o he_o do_v with_o his_o lie_n to_o eve_n to_o set_v up_o his_o kingdom_n of_o sin_n and_o imperfection_n at_o the_o first_o which_o then_o he_o get_v in_o by_o subtlety_n without_o scripture_n but_o now_o by_o the_o letter_n will_v maintain_v it_o by_o force_n and_o if_o any_o believe_v to_o attain_v that_o estate_n again_o before_o he_o enter_v with_o boldness_n from_o the_o letter_n he_o will_v prove_v he_o a_o heretic_n and_o find_v scripture_n to_o murder_v he_o for_o it_o also_o he_o have_v but_o power_n to_o do_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o use_n the_o scripture_n be_v of_o when_o such_o give_v meaning_n of_o they_o and_o preach_v they_o who_o eye_n he_o have_v blind_v and_o have_v not_o the_o word_n in_o they_o from_o which_o the_o scripture_n come_v and_o without_o which_o none_o know_v they_o nor_o understand_v they_o and_o thus_o the_o jewish_a rabbi_n put_v christ_n to_o death_n by_o the_o letter_n john_n 19_o 7._o and_o so_o do_v he_o suffer_v to_o this_o day_n in_o who_o ever_o he_o be_v by_o the_o world_n teacher_n wrest_v the_o letter_n therefore_o say_v peter_n such_o wrest_v all_o scripture_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n 2_o pet._n 3._o 16._o and_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o devil_n envy_n against_o the_o child_n of_o light_n at_o this_o day_n because_o we_o exhort_v people_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o his_o light_n to_o enlighten_v their_o mind_n that_o they_o may_v not_o read_v without_o understanding_n and_o so_o wrest_v the_o

be_v pervert_v to_o a_o wrong_a end_n but_o be_v enlighten_v from_o the_o word_n the_o gift_n be_v see_v and_o sanctify_v to_o its_o right_a end_n without_o which_o it_o can_v for_o god_n have_v

therefore_o be_v he_o first_o to_o be_v preach_v who_o be_v first_o and_o last_o to_o enlighten_v people_n that_o sit_v in_o darkness_n death_n and_o delusion_n which_o light_n be_v first_o receive_v all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v yea_o and_o amen_o therein_o to_o his_o praise_n and_o the_o creature_n good_a for_o without_o faith_n all_o be_v lose_v and_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n in_o the_o gift_n that_o save_v but_o faith_n in_o the_o giver_n for_o many_o do_v believe_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o think_v to_o have_v eternal_a life_n therein_o but_o can_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o deny_v the_o giver_n and_o the_o scripture_n can_v not_o save_v these_o but_o in_o their_o thought_n thereof_o deceive_v themselves_o who_o have_v not_o the_o word_n in_o they_o and_o so_o stick_v in_o the_o letter_n but_o will_v not_o come_v to_o the_o light_n of_o life_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v the_o son_n have_v life_n and_o not_o every_o

be_v many_o that_o hear_v christ_n speak_v but_o do_v not_o nor_o can_v they_o hear_v the_o word_n john_n 8._o 43._o and_o this_o be_v much_o more_o than_o the_o letter_n yet_o such_o blind_a and_o

also_o that_o place_n act_v 17._o which_o you_o think_v make_v so_o much_o for_o you_o to_o prove_v the_o letter_n the_o word_n it_o do_v but_o fall_v on_o your_o own_o head_n as_o all_o other_o scripture_n do_v for_o they_o of_o berea_n be_v not_o call_v more_o noble_a than_o they_o of_o thessalonica_n because_o they_o have_v the_o scripture_n read_v for_o the_o jew_n of_o thessalonica_n have_v the_o scripture_n read_v every_o sabbath_n day_n but_o this_o be_v their_o nobility_n in_o that_o they_o receive_v the_o word_n glad_o with_o all_o readiness_n of_o mind_n and_o then_o search_v the_o scripture_n daily_o first_o they_o receive_v the_o word_n to_o enlighten_v and_o then_o search_v the_o scripture_n in_o the_o light_n so_o this_o do_v plain_o prove_v that_o they_o have_v not_o
