A52034 The way of life revealed and the way of death discovered wherein is declared man's happy estate before the fall, his miserable estate in the fall, and the way of restauration out of the fall into the image of God again ... : also the by-pathes, crooked wayes, wiles, snares, and temptations of the enemy of man's soul discover'd ... the utter end and final destruction of all false professions prophesied ... : also a call in the tender bowels of the love of God shed abroad in this day, age, and generation to all the scatterrd sheep upon the barren mountains of profession to return to the true shepherd Christ Jesus ... / Charles Marshall. Marshall, Charles, 1637-1698. 1674 (1674) Wing M746; ESTC R26188 27,827 35

unto_o who_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o own_o work_n forever_o and_o so_o here_o will_v be_v a_o grow_a and_o increase_v until_o there_o be_v a_o come_n into_o that_o precious_a state_n and_o

heavenly_a principle_n and_o that_o therein_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v begin_v which_o before_o be_v say_v be_v the_o bring_v man_n into_o a_o real_a sensible_a knowledge_n of_o his_o state_n and_o condition_n then_o will_v the_o same_o destroyer_n that_o bring_v man_n into_o bondage_n at_o first_o and_o have_v keep_v he_o in_o bondage_n begin_v to_o work_v cunning_o and_o every_o way_n endeavour_n to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o god_n begin_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o he_o may_v accomplish_v his_o end_n he_o will_v go_v about_o every_o way_n seek_v a_o entrance_n and_o will_v lay_v his_o temptation_n suitable_a to_o the_o propensity_n or_o inclination_n of_o the_o creature_n if_o the_o heart_n and_o mind_n be_v bow_v down_o under_o the_o weighty_a sense_n of_o

in_o his_o transforming_n and_o although_o in_o appearance_n like_o the_o light_n yet_o in_o nature_n contrary_a thereto_o for_o albeit_o the_o light_n and_o appearance_n of_o god_n give_v the_o

its_o working_n inward_o beget_v a_o secret_a hope_n of_o overcome_v by_o the_o lord_n strength_n but_o then_o the_o enemy_n when_o he_o see_v the_o soul_n bew_v down_o as_o aforesaid_a oftentimes_o afflict_v and_o bring_v down_o the_o mind_n into_o unbelief_n of_o ever_o overcome_v thereby_o endeavour_v to_o sink_v the_o soul_n down_o into_o despair_n know_v if_o he_o overcome_v he_o still_o

down_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o chamber_n of_o darkness_n where_o there_o be_v no_o order_n but_o now_o when_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o soul_n peace_n be_v discover_v in_o this_o his_o work_v and_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n through_o the_o love_n and_o power_n of_o god_n be_v comfort_v encourage_v and_o refresh_v and_o raise_v up_o into_o a_o measure_n of_o the_o live_a hope_n satisfaction_n and_o content_a then_o the_o old_a crooked_a subtle_a serpent_n endeavour_v to_o lead_v from_o off_o the_o inward_a daily_a travail_n that_o so_o judgement_n may_v not_o be_v bring_v forth_o into_o

he_o will_v beget_v a_o fasle_n hope_n and_o confidence_n and_o so_o bring_v out_o of_o the_o daily_a cross_n through_o which_o the_o nature_n which_o have_v alienate_v from_o god_n shall_v be_v

in_o a_o good_a measure_n to_o be_v cleanse_v and_o that_o in_o pure_a obedience_n and_o constant_a faithfulness_n in_o this_o light_n of_o righteousness_n a_o good_a progress_n be_v make_v through_o the_o administration_n of_o condemnation_n that_o be_v glorious_a in_o its_o time_n and_o that_o something_o of_o pure_a peace_n and_o heavenly_a joy_n spring_v and_o arise_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n here_o again_o the_o enemy_n will_v be_v subtle_o at_o work_n to_o betray_v and_o lead_v aside_o in_o persuade_v to_o sit_v down_o now_o as_o if_o all_o be_v do_v and_o so_o lead_v out_o from_o the_o feed_n on_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n to_o feed_v on_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o so_o lead_v out_o into_o a_o liberty_n to_o break_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o here_o at_o first_o subtle_o and_o cunning_o draw_v the_o mind_n out_o so_o far_o as_o to_o take_v a_o little_a liberty_n and_o draw_v the_o mind_n somewhat_o from_o that_o diligent_a watchfulness_n dread_a fear_v and_o awe_n it_o be_v in_o before_o in_o the_o inward_a travail_n of_o spirit_n and_o here_o if_o the_o destroy_a subtle_a enemy_n can_v but_o prevail_v a_o little_a he_o will_v lead_v out_o of_o the_o innocent_a harmleis_n life_n and_o so_o gradual_o lead_v a_o little_a forth_o and_o so_o by_o degree_n open_v a_o eye_n that_o may_v see_v something_o in_o the_o outward_a visible_a thing_n that_o may_v somewhat_o affect_v the_o mind_n and_o as_o here_o he_o prevail_v and_o cause_v his_o work_n to_o prosper_v which_o he_o do_v subtle_o gradual_o and_o hidden_o the_o eye_n that_o be_v open_v come_v again_o through_o disobedience_n to_o be_v in_o some_o meature_n blind_v and_o here_o loss_n be_v sustain_v even_o before_o the_o unwatchful_a be_v

into_o the_o form_n thereof_o and_o although_o at_o sometime_o the_o eternal_a power_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n may_v be_v feel_v in_o this_o estate_n yet_o there_o be_v not_o a_o daily_a feel_n
