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

bring_v forth_o other_o sort_n of_o fruit_n than_o former_o even_o good_a fruit_n and_o that_o in_o abundance_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o common_a tree_n in_o the_o outward_a for_o they_o do_v not_o change_v the_o graft_n imp_v on_o they_o into_o their_o own_o nature_n but_o rather_o the_o imp_n change_v the_o sap_n and_o virtue_n of_o spirit_n of_o the_o tree_n that_o it_o cause_v the_o tree_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n according_a to_o the_o kind_n of_o the_o graft_n itself_o but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o betwixt_o ch●ist_n and_o we_o man_n for_o we_o be_v plant_v or_o graft_v into_o he_o he_o change_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o fruit_n from_o evil_a to_o good_a otherwise_o the_o comparison_n hold_v very_o well_o now_o when_o the_o graft_n be_v cut_v off_o from_o its_o natural_a stock_n it_o be_v very_o g●●en_v and_o full_a of_o life_n yea_o suppose_v it_o be_v full_a of_o blossom_n or_o fruit_n yet_o when_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o husbandman_n it_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o its_o natural_a stock_n and_o graft_v into_o another_o it_o do_v not_o instant_o spring_v and_o green_a and_o flourish_v as_o before_z far_o less_o bear_v new_a fruit_n but_o first_o of_o all_o die_v its_o greenness_n and_o flourish_n wither_v and_o its_o fruit_n fall_v off_o so_o that_o it_o remain_v very_o bare_a and_o empty-like_a for_o some_o time_n yet_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n be_v not_o altogether_o idle_a in_o it_o for_o by_o little_a and_o little_a the_o power_n of_o life_n in_o the_o tree_n into_o which_o it_o be_v ingraft_v do_v infuse_v and_o insinuate_v itself_o into_o it_o by_o which_o it_o unit_v and_o knit_v the_o graft_n to_o the_o tree_n by_o a_o natural_a union_n and_o then_o in_o process_n of_o time_n the_o graft_n begin_v to_o green_a and_o flourish_v again_o and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n both_o much_o better_a and_o more_o abundant_a as_o be_v say_v and_o here_o we_o may_v observe_v somewhat_o of_o all_o these_o step_n in_o a_o similitude_n which_o the_o graft_n pass_v through_o before_o it_o come_v to_o bear_v fruit_n as_o 1._o the_o power_n of_o the_o life_n in_o the_o tree_n insinuate_v it_o self_n into_o the_o graft_n take_v hold_v of_o the_o faint_a and_o dead_a power_n of_o nature_n in_o the_o graft_n and_o convert_v or_o turn_v they_o into_o itself_o 2._o the_o graft_n be_v thus_o turn_v or_o join_v to_o the_o tree_n not_o by_o any_o outward_a bond_n but_o by_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o tree_n continue_v and_o persist_v therein_o which_o if_o it_o do_v not_o it_o can_v not_o receive_v life_n from_o the_o tree_n 3._o in_o this_o continuance_n it_o remain_v very_o passive_a do_v nothing_o but_o secret_o drink_v in_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o life_n from_o the_o tree_n into_o which_o it_o be_v graft_v and_o so_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o become_v in_o due_a time_n as_o a_o natural_a branch_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o bring_v forth_o its_o fruit_n as_o aforesaid_a now_o such_o be_v the_o discretion_n of_o the_o husband_n man_n that_o he_o require_v not_o present_a fruit_n from_o the_o tree_n neither_o be_v he_o offend_v with_o it_o that_o it_o yield_v not_o present_a fruit_n but_o patient_o wait_v for_o the_o fruit_n in_o the_o season_n of_o it_o even_o such_o be_v the_o discretion_n of_o the_o lord_n yea_o and_o much_o more_o towards_o man_n that_o if_o they_o convert_v and_o turn_v into_o the_o true_a vine_n and_o tree_n of_o life_n not_o resist_v the_o power_n of_o life_n therein_o but_o suffer_v it_o to_o work_v in_o they_o to_o kill_v the_o unholy_a life_n by_o which_o they_o live_v and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o sin_n and_o if_o they_o continue_v thus_o convert_v in_o a_o passive_a and_o forbear_v way_n suffer_v the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o god_n in_o the_o divine_a seed_n in_o they_o to_o do_v in_o it_o what_o he_o please_v this_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o the_o lord_n even_o thus_o to_o die_v in_o he_o and_o bless_v be_v such_o for_o their_o work_n shall_v follow_v they_o in_o due_a time_n and_o this_o be_v according_a to_o what_o our_o lord_n teach_v himself_o unless_o say_v he_o a_o grain_n of_o wheat_n fall_v into_o the_o ground_n and_o die_v it_o remain_v alone_o but_o if_o it_o die_v it_o bring_v forth_o much_o fruit_n this_o he_o speak_v in_o relation_n to_o himself_o but_o it_o hold_v good_a also_o in_o relation_n to_o other_o will_v thou_o indeed_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o good_a work_n unto_o the_o lord_n then_o thou_o must_v fall_v into_o the_o ground_n and_o die_v like_o a_o grain_n of_o wheat_n and_o

lord_n who_o be_v the_o husbandman_n require_v not_o fruit_n of_o thou_o before_o the_o season_n but_o patient_o wait_v for_o it_o yet_o the_o time_n be_v not_o so_o long_o betwixt_o the_o time_n of_o

thou_o may_v come_v to_o bear_v some_o fruit_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o be_v able_a and_o fit_a to_o do_v some_o good_a work_n in_o a_o very_a short_a space_n much_o less_o than_o a_o year_n yea_o

of_o this_o life_n in_o thy_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v a_o wheel_n within_o a_o wheel_n or_o as_o a_o soul_n within_o a_o soul_n yea_o it_o be_v true_o so_o and_o that_o also_o thou_o find_v thy_o
