A54043 Naked truth, or, Truth nakedly manifesting itself in several particulars for the removing of hinderances out of the way of the simple-hearted, that they may come to true knowledge, life, liberty, peace and joy in the Lord, through the vertue and power of his precious truth, revealed and working in them : given forth by way of question and answer : whereunto are added, some experiences, with some Scriptures very sweet, and necessary to be experienced in the Gospel-state : as also, a few words concerning the true Christ, and a few words in the bowels of tender love and good will to my native country / by a long mourner and traveller after, but as length an happy experiencer of the truth, as it is in Jesus, Isaac Pennington.

thing_n i_o have_v experience_v both_o concern_v the_o nature_n virtue_n and_o operation_n of_o it_o some_z whereof_z as_o i_o feel_v they_o spring_v up_o live_o in_o my_o heart_n i_o may_v mention_v at_o this_o time_n first_o this_o i_o have_v often_o experience_v that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n true_o and_o right_o to_o believe_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o believe_v notion_n concern_v god_n and_o concern_v christ_n but_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n to_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n to_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n life_n and_o power_n which_o flow_v from_o jesus_n this_o indeed_o be_v hard_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a darkness_n and_o ignorance_n which_o man_n be_v fall_v into_o through_o transgression_n second_o i_o have_v experience_v this_o also_o that_o faith_n be_v god_n gift_n and_o that_o it_o flow_v from_o the_o power_n of_o his_o life_n there_o be_v first_o a_o quicken_a first_o a_o touch_v of_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o holy_a pure_a power_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o when_o a_o man_n be_v touch_v and_o quicken_v then_o in_o and_o by_o and_o through_o that_o virtue_n which_o flow_v into_o he_o he_o can_v believe_v in_o that_o which_o touch_v and_o quicken_v he_o three_o that_o faith_n never_o stand_v in_o a_o man_n own_o power_n but_o always_o in_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o the_o life_n of_o the_o son_n so_o that_o he_o that_o will_v believe_v aright_o must_v wait_v to_o feel_v the_o life_n of_o the_o son_n reveal_v in_o he_o and_o faith_n flow_v therefrom_o for_o the_o true_a belief_n spring_v from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o holy_a root_n and_o from_o the_o flow_a up_o and_o spring_v up_o of_o that_o life_n faith_n receive_v its_o nourishment_n and_o daily_a virtue_n four_o i_o have_v observe_v this_o in_o my_o travel_n that_o the_o earthly_a wisdom_n and_o notion_n there_o from_o get_v into_o the_o mind_n and_o hold_v in_o the_o mind_n out_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o life_n be_v a_o great_a let_v to_o faith_n for_o these_o strengthen_v and_o nourish_v that_o in_o man_n which_o be_v to_o be_v weaken_v and_o die_v that_o life_n and_o the_o birth_n of_o life_n may_v be_v all_o in_o the_o heart_n man_n be_v to_o die_v man_n be_v to_o be_v cease_v from_o his_o understanding_n his_o wisdom_n be_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o nought_o but_o after_o it_o have_v have_v a_o stroke_n and_o wound_n from_o god_n holy_a spirit_n and_o power_n even_o the_o very_a wound_n which_o tend_v to_o death_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v get_v life_n again_o get_v its_o deadly_a wound_n heal_v and_o nourish_v its_o life_n by_o those_o very_a notion_n which_o come_v from_o that_o life_n and_o power_n which_o in_o measure_n slay_v it_o and_o thus_o the_o jew_n outward_a have_v his_o life_n in_o the_o outwardness_n of_o knowledge_n in_o the_o outwardness_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o letter_n which_o kill_v for_o the_o relation_n and_o outward_a knowledge_n of_o thing_n kill_v and_o deadn_v more_o and_o more_o unless_o man_n come_v into_o the_o inward_a life_n and_o virtue_n and_o daily_o feel_v they_o quicken_v there_o if_o you_o live_v in_o the_o spirit_n walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n say_v the_o apostle_n a_o man_n can_v live_v in_o a_o outwardness_n of_o knowledge_n concern_v the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o

and_o i_o live_v not_o of_o myself_o but_o by_o feel_v he_o to_o live_v in_o i_o find_v life_n spring_v up_o from_o he_o into_o i_o and_o through_o i_o and_o therein_o lie_v all_o my_o ability_n and_o

that_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o unrighteousness_n may_v come_v to_o a_o end_n have_v not_o god_n judgement_n be_v upon_o thou_o yea_o be_v not_o god_n judgement_n still_o upon_o thou_o and_o can_v any_o
