A60666	The work of Gods power in man with something that the spirit of truth leads to practise, and what it leads to deny ... / W.S.	Smith, William, d. 1673.	1663 (1663)	Wing S4346; ESTC R19003	14,538	19

all_o truth_n mark_n into_o all_o truth_n and_o be_v all_o there_o be_v nothing_o want_v which_o be_v attain_v in_o the_o leading_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o soul_n come_v into_o everlasting_a rest_n in_o god_n and_o so_o by_o the_o leading_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v a_o growth_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o a_o pass_v on_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o until_o the_o fullness_n be_v enjoy_v and_o all_o be_v to_o mind_v the_o measure_n of_o truth_n in_o which_o they_o stand_v and_o to_o answer_v the_o moving_n and_o leading_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o in_o the_o truth_n they_o may_v grow_v and_o prosper_v for_o as_o the_o truth_n be_v live_v in_o according_a to_o measure_n there_o be_v a_o growth_n to_o be_v feel_v and_o witness_v in_o it_o a_o growth_n in_o understanding_n grow_v up_o from_o child_n to_o young_a man_n and_o from_o young_a man_n to_o ancient_n and_o so_o in_o understanding_n come_v to_o be_v man_n not_o by_o apprehension_n and_o conceive_n but_o by_o revelation_n and_o possess_n and_o as_o the_o growth_n come_v to_o be_v feel_v in_o the_o truth_n so_o there_o be_v a_o decay_n of_o all_o that_o which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o that_o which_o have_v be_v manifest_v by_o any_o practice_n out_o of_o the_o truth_n that_o come_v to_o die_v for_o as_o the_o root_n be_v destroy_v so_o do_v the_o branch_n die_v and_o then_o the_o truth_n branch_v forth_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o manifest_v itself_o according_a to_o its_o nature_n and_o that_o be_v the_o principal_a of_o all_o good_a work_n and_o the_o good_a work_n which_o be_v wrought_v and_o manifest_v by_o it_o they_o be_v of_o god_n and_o be_v of_o god_n they_o be_v truth_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n beside_o he_o true_a and_o all_o good_a work_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o he_o and_o manifest_v from_o he_o they_o be_v approve_v by_o he_o and_o so_o they_o that_o have_v true_a faith_n they_o have_v good_a work_n also_o yea_o such_o good_a work_n as_o may_v be_v see_v of_o man_n so_o that_o the_o practice_n in_o the_o truth_n be_v from_o the_o principle_n of_o truth_n by_o all_o that_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o though_o something_o of_o such_o a_o practice_n may_v be_v observe_v by_o such_o as_o be_v out_o of_o the_o truth_n yet_o that_o do_v not_o make_v the_o practice_n in_o the_o truth_n to_o be_v ever_o the_o less_o glorious_a in_o itself_o for_o it_o be_v the_o principle_n that_o make_v the_o practice_n true_a and_o not_o the_o practice_n that_o make_v the_o principle_n true_a but_o where_o the_o practice_n of_o any_o do_v whole_o degenerate_a from_o the_o practice_n in_o the_o truth_n that_o principle_n do_v plain_o manifest_v its_o nature_n by_o what_o be_v practise_v and_o neither_o principle_n nor_o practice_n be_v true_a but_o where_o the_o practice_n of_o truth_n stand_v in_o the_o principle_n of_o truth_n there_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o root_n manifest_v by_o the_o branch_n and_o so_o the_o tree_n be_v good_a and_o the_o fruit_n be_v good_a and_o will_v not_o many_o speak_v well_o of_o the_o life_n of_o such_o as_o live_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o truth_n and_o yet_o speak_v evil_a of_o their_o principle_n and_o so_o will_v make_v the_o fruit_n good_a and_o the_o tree_n corrupt_v which_o thing_n can_v be_v for_o not_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v true_o good_a can_v proceed_v from_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a as_o the_o ground_n of_o its_o conception_n so_o if_o the_o life_n of_o such_o as_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o light_n do_v not_o answer_v their_o principle_n in_o all_o righteousness_n than_o people_n may_v have_v some_o cause_n to_o say_v that_o their_o principle_n be_v delusion_n and_o they_o a_o delude_a people_n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o their_o life_n do_v sufficient_o demonstrate_v then_o let_v all_o people_n acknowledge_v that_o their_o principle_n be_v truth_n and_o that_o god_n be_v their_o god_n and_o that_o they_o be_v his_o people_n so_o let_v all_o people_n consider_v their_o way_n and_o behold_v what_o they_o practise_v for_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n lead_v into_o all_o truth_n and_o so_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n in_o all_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n of_o life_n and_o that_o life_n spring_v from_o the_o spirit_n as_o from_o its_o root_n and_o be_v make_v manifest_a as_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o it_o answer_v the_o righteous_a principle_n of_o god_n in_o every_o man_n and_o that_o which_o be_v manifest_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o practise_v by_o those_o that_o live_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o also_o what_o they_o can_v practice_v as_o be_v out_o of_o the_o truth_n be_v these_o thing_n follow_v 1._o they_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n but_o the_o evil_a worship_n they_o can_v observe_v they_o bow_v to_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n and_o can_v bow_v to_o any_o grave_a image_n for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n be_v their_o life_n 2._o they_o live_v a_o godly_a and_o righteous_a life_n walk_v in_o sobriety_n moderation_n temperance_n meekness_n gentleness_n patience_n love_n justice_n mercy_n and_o truth_n they_o do_v unto_o all_o man_n as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o 3._o they_o honour_n god_n alone_o and_o honour_v all_o man_n in_o the_o lord_n but_o they_o can_v give_v flatter_a title_n unto_o man_n nor_o respect_n person_n in_o the_o vain_a custom_n 4._o they_o be_v conformable_a unto_o christ_n but_o they_o can_v conform_v to_o fashion_n and_o tradition_n they_o can_v live_v in_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n they_o can_v be_v excessive_a in_o meat_n drink_n and_o apparel_n but_o what_o be_v needful_a they_o use_v it_o in_o its_o place_n but_o can_v use_v any_o more_o 5._o they_o speak_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o soberness_n but_o that_o which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o truth_n they_o can_v speak_v for_o you_o to_o one_o be_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n but_o thou_o to_o one_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o they_o speak_v it_o as_o it_o be_v the_o language_n of_o the_o spirit_n 6._o their_o word_n be_v truth_n in_o what_o they_o speak_v and_o they_o faithful_o answer_v what_o they_o promise_v but_o they_o can_v be_v bind_v by_o bond_n of_o man_n to_o cause_v they_o to_o perform_v what_o they_o may_v require_v for_o by_o their_o word_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o perform_v if_o they_o make_v a_o promise_n for_o their_o word_n be_v truth_n 7._o they_o testify_v the_o truth_n when_o they_o be_v require_v but_o they_o dare_v not_o swear_v at_o all_o they_o love_v christ_n and_o keep_v his_o command_n and_o they_o can_v answer_v what_o be_v command_v contrary_a for_o all_o his_o command_n be_v righteous_a unto_o they_o and_o they_o choose_v to_o obey_v he_o rather_o than_o man_n 8._o they_o love_v the_o lord_n god_n and_o one_o another_o but_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o wicked_a their_o soul_n abhor_v they_o be_v true_o tender_a to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a in_o all_o but_o they_o can_v join_v with_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a for_o the_o good_a be_v their_o rest_n these_o thing_n with_o much_o more_o of_o this_o nature_n be_v practise_v by_o such_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o be_v manifest_v from_o the_o spirit_n as_o fruit_n of_o its_o nature_n and_o where_o it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n do_v not_o lead_v and_o so_o people_n profess_v christ_n but_o conform_v to_o the_o custom_n and_o fashion_n of_o the_o world_n which_o they_o that_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n can_v do_v for_o the_o spirit_n teach_v they_o to_o deny_v all_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v vain_a and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o teach_v they_o to_o testify_v against_o the_o world_n and_o the_o deed_n of_o evil_n which_o by_o they_o be_v observe_v and_o this_o be_v good_a fruit_n bring_v forth_o from_o the_o good_a tree_n and_o be_v not_o like_o the_o corrupt_a fruit_n of_o the_o corrupt_a tree_n and_o so_o the_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o its_o fruit_n for_o thereby_o do_v every_o tree_n manifest_v its_o nature_n now_o let_v he_o that_o read_v understand_v for_o this_o be_v declare_v that_o all_o may_v believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v in_o man_n and_o that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n work_v the_o work_n of_o god_n for_o you_o that_o can_v endure_v to_o hear_v of_o the_o light_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n within_o you_o will_v not_o endure_v sound_a doctrine_n but_o cry_v out_o against_o it_o as_o the_o great_a

you_o and_o by_o his_o blood_n you_o be_v justify_v and_o by_o his_o impute_a righteousness_n you_o be_v accept_v now_o consider_v the_o ground_n of_o your_o faith_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o

god_n according_a to_o scripture_n now_o be_v your_o faith_n within_o you_o or_o without_o you_o if_o within_o you_o than_o christ_n be_v there_o also_o for_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o true_a

within_o you_o than_o not_o faith_n within_o you_o and_o then_o not_o pure_a heart_n and_o what_o good_a do_v all_o your_o apprehension_n do_v you_o if_o you_o can_v witness_v pure_a heart_n they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o unbelief_n can_v but_o lie_v there_o and_o what_o better_o be_v you_o by_o your_o faith_n than_o they_o that_o that_o have_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o for_o all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n this_o be_v in_o tender_a pity_n to_o you_o that_o you_o may_v once_o look_v within_o and_o have_v regard_n to_o that_o which_o do_v reprove_v you_o for_o that_o which_o cry_v peace_n when_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n will_v not_o do_v you_o any_o good_a that_o be_v ever_o the_o message_n of_o the_o false_a prophet_n to_o cry_v peace_n to_o that_o nature_n which_o live_v and_o rule_v over_o the_o good_a seed_n and_o that_o never_o do_v people_n any_o good_a but_o become_v a_o hindrance_n to_o they_o for_o follow_v on_o to_o know_v the_o lord_n and_o they_o want_v peace_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n let_v no_o such_o message_n strengthen_v you_o where_o you_o be_v nor_o persuade_v not_o yourselves_o thereby_o that_o you_o be_v what_o you_o be_v not_o for_o if_o you_o

which_o god_n will_v destroy_v and_o whosoever_o strengthen_v you_o in_o that_o nature_n and_o cry_v peace_n to_o you_o there_o they_o be_v such_o as_o run_v when_o god_n send_v they_o not_o and_o they_o only_o please_v that_o life_n which_o must_v come_v to_o death_n friend_n the_o true_a love_n be_v in_o plain_a deal_n there_o be_v no_o deceit_n in_o that_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v speak_v to_o every_o state_n and_o condition_n as_o it_o be_v and_o though_o there_o may_v be_v a_o part_n that_o like_v not_o reproof_n yet_o the_o love_n reach_v to_o something_o that_o lie_v under_o that_o

before_o the_o love_n mercy_n and_o peace_n of_o god_n be_v obtain_v for_o you_o that_o talk_v so_o much_o of_o justification_n by_o christ_n whilst_o you_o be_v not_o change_v and_o renew_v by_o the_o work_n of_o his_o power_n you_o have_v yet_o a_o large_a journey_n to_o go_v before_o you_o can_v come_v to_o that_o place_n where_o justification_n be_v witness_v for_o he_o do_v not_o

be_v receive_v it_o give_v the_o flesh_n a_o occasion_n to_o use_v its_o liberty_n for_o a_o man_n may_v sometime_o have_v be_v ungodly_a and_o such_o be_v some_o of_o you_o say_v the_o apostle_n but_o you_o be_v wash_v but_o you_o be_v sanctify_v but_o you_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n &_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o god_n 1_o cor._n 6._o 11._o mark_v here_o

to_o take_v away_o sin_n and_o to_o bring_v in_o everlasting_a righteousness_n and_o to_o justify_v man_n in_o his_o own_o righteousness_n for_o in_o no_o other_o thing_n can_v man_n stand_v justify_v before_o god_n who_o be_v righteous_a and_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n shall_v stand_v for_o ever_o and_o they_o go_v on_o too_o fast_o that_o will_v be_v justify_v before_o they_o submit_v to_o
