A52687	A door opened to the imprisoned seed in the vvorld, and the way of freedom by the spirit of truth, sent out into the world in love to the sheep that have long been lost, which may serve any who simply seek the life of what they possess, and may shew the feigned & false in heart, the cause why they are shut out of truths power : wherein the elect way is opened to the blind, with encouragements to enter and walk therein : also the fruits of the free-born cleared from legal performances, and the children of bondage shewed the nature of their own works : Christ Jesus known to be king in his temples, through the power of the Holy Ghost, and sword of the spirit lifted up against the man of sin in true judgment / by J.N.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1667 (1667)	Wing N277; ESTC R23128	41,513	48

on their way out of the world which is Christ the life that 's holy and light that 's pure and to this the mind is kept in all their travels and tribulations and temptions which worketh in them by faith in Christ more hope and more strength daily and every thing that happens them in the way gives experience and renewed strength against their adversarie the Devil while they keep close to Christ in faith and love and though they feel the Devil in the sensual part to be strong and powerful and past their strength at present yet they yeeld him not the Kingdom for that but into the faith and hope and patience of Christ Jesus they sink down waiting for the resurrection of that Life which never sinned but died when sin took his kingdome and there wait for the appearance of Christ without sin to save them from that power of death which wars in their own members to bring forth sin in this world and this is to be true in their service and faithful who wait for the Kingdom of God within them and Righteousnesse thereof and the comming of their Lord with their minds girt up with holinesse and hearts stedfast not to consent to the least work of the Devil if it would gain the whole world in the aperition of the sensual reason and wisdom And if these be overtaken with a fault it is not willingly but as Servants of Christ they stand against it to the utmost they then see and sin being a work of the wrong master they abhor it and themselves for it and deny it and will not plead for it or seek to hide it in them but confesse it and cannot have peace till it be cleansed out and these are the little children who have an Advocate with the Father to whom sin is as death and dare not speak a word for it but against it in themselves and in others and these appear against sin openly and confess to him that is holy with all their hearts and words But what a difference is there betwixt one of these who when they either see it or are told of their offence against the Lord are broken before the least reproof into tears or sorrow condemning themselves for it and it in themselves openly and you who when you are reproved for sin which is both open and known you set your selves with all your strength and wisdom to plead for it and like the Devil bring the letter to strengthen your selves against just reproof and with hearts full of envie and mouths full of reproach you stand up seeking to ensuare them that reprove you in love to Christs Kingdom and your souls and to recover you out of the works of Satan that his kingdom might fall in you and so he have fewer subjects left in his power and you be added unto the Kingdom of Christ by being brought under his Commands through denying your old matter and confessing and condemning his evil works for a denying of the Devil and his works there must be ere Christ will receive you And thus it is that Christ hath ever taken his Kingdom out of the hand of his adversary in the world by sending his Servants into the high-wayes and hedges to gather his creatures out of the Devils works by true reproof and testifying against them where ever he led them for which they were torn and scratched and evil entreated by that evil spirit in whom it had power as you now do who rise up against reproof Christ Jesus known to be King in his Temples through the power of the Holy Ghost and sword of the Spirit lifted up against the man of sin in true Judgement You who look for the Kingdom of Christ Jesus it stands not in observations words and forms but in the power of the holy Ghost in judgment in truth and righteousness If you would know his appearance to salvation wait for it without sin in that Spirit and Power which is holy to judge and condemn sin this is his Kingdom with men if you can receive it that he be known in his spiritual power in the bodies of holy men and women to dwell and walk in a holy life a witness against all sin by the breath of his mouth and Sword of his Spirit and therein that he hath power and consent to judge all contrary spirits within and without and all contrary actions And what ever opposes him in this his Kingdom is Antichrist which denies Christ in his Temples and House whose House and Temple is the new Creation of holy men and women and in whom he speaks dwells and walks as saith the Scriptures in whom he judges the Prince of this world and all his out-goings in the children of darkness and in his own Temples shews forth his nature and virtue a witness against him and all his works and he that would let this is Antichrist who sits in the Temple of Christ to resist the Holy One and cannot receive the Judgements of Christ against sin in his Temples nor his witness against sin to Salvation but cries do not judge when Truth speaks and the Spirit of Christ testifies against sin in true Judgement and this is he that lets and withstands the coming of Christ without sin who withstands him in his Temple and denies his righteous Judgement against sin and blasphemes and sayes it is not he nor is he now on earth nor speaks in any body now against sin but saith Thou must not judge lest thou be judged and so through deceit would turn Christs words against his work who saith I will redeem Zion with Judgement and Christ did not speak those words to save sin from Judgement when he saith Judge not that ye be not judged not to stop the mouth of Truth and Righteousness for then had he contradicted himself who in another place commands them to judge righteous Judgement And he is manifest to destroy sin and not to save sin in whomsoever he is manifest and for this end he liveth in his people which Antichrist would make as though he lived not nor heard or spoke but as a dumb Idol would he make the living God for people to talk on or set up a form of him to make void his present life and spiritual power in his people that he should not shew forth his vertue and give forth his Laws and Judgements by the mouth of his Servants against the works of his adversary where ever they appear in his eye Therefore you professors of Christ in words and forms seek his Kingdom in you and take heed that your forms withstand not his powerful appearance in spirit His Kingly Authority stands in his heavenly holy Nature and Vertue in Spirit and not in perishing rudiments and shadows without Read in Scriptures how often Antichrist hath deceived people by turning these outward forms to let the spiritual power and so have kept people in words without life opposing Christ in his Kingdom So in the first
