A89843	Love to the lost: and a hand held forth to the helpless, to lead out of the dark. Wherein is plainly held out divers perticular things, as they are learned of Christ; and are most needfull to be known of all who profess godliness. Set forth chiefly for the directing the simple into the living way of truth, as it is in Christ Jesus, the Righteous, that therein they may come to the life and power of that which the world hath in words; which being received, satisfies the weary soul, and makes the creature wel-pleasing to his maker. Wherein also there is some reproofs to the dark world. / By one that seeks the redemption of Sions seed, and a lover of the creation of God, who is called James Naylor.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1656 (1656)	Wing N294; Thomason E866_2; ESTC R207630	74,213	79

is plain 1 Cor. 10 therefore they were to keep their Consciences pure from things offered to Idols for they could not partake of the Table of the Lord and eat that which was sacrificed to Devils though in some Cases they might go to a Feast among Unbelievers yet whether they eat or drank they were to do it to the Lord as at his Table and not as at the Table of Gentiles whose feasting is in the Lust and so their meat they sacrifice to Devils and eat not to God and so do all who eat to the lust To keep from which there is no other thing can but to eat in remembrance of Christs death till he come who when he is come he takes the ordering and government of the Creature himself upon his shoulders and so ever keeps them out of the lust in all they do and so is the Creation restored and reconciled to God in Christ Jesus at his appearing till which time the Apostles exhorted to these things and warned of the contrary as Jude who saw some crept in among the Church who did turn the grace of God into lasciviousnesse walking after their own hearts lusts whereby they defile the flesh living in sensuality not having the Spirit to order them they fed themselves without fear and these were spots in their Feasts who being once inlightened and again giving way to the lusts and excesse they became twice dead plucked up by the roots yet had they great swelling words And of such like are many Examples at this day who have had something quickned in them to hope for the appearance of the Lord but fulnesse and excesse having overtaken them for want of eating alwayes in fear and in remembrance of his coming they are become dead again to any hope of his appearance at the present and have put his coming afar off into 1 Cor. 4. 5 6. another world yet are contending about the Shadows or Figures of his coming as they have imagined concerning them But are become reprobate Pil. 4. 5. in the Faith as to his appearance and plucked up by the roots And to avoid this it was the Lord Jesus commanded his Disciples in eating and drinking to shew forth his death till he came and they knowing this from the Lord gave it in example and warning to those who were convinced that in all fear and moderation they might wait for his appearance who at his coming would bring to light the hidden things and manifest the counsels of the heart and all its deceipts and become the Worker in them and then they should have praise of God and these things were transferred to the Apostles in a figure So they exhorted the Believers to whom the Lord was at hand to let their moderation be known to all men the Lord is at hand which they knew All who get up into the liberty of the flesh rioting and excesse will put afar off as it is at this day with many who are in Observations outward who have a day to go into the Idols Temple and there to eat Bread and drink Wine in a Self-solemnity once a moneth or three times a year or as they imagine some affirming the Body and Blood of Christ to be in the Creature after Consecration as they call it some saying Nay but it is Spiritual after Consecration Others saying It is still carnall and not changed because of words and one imagines the body of Christ reall in it another not reall but by Faith as they say But in this they all agree that they return back into the pleasures of the flesh and fashions of the world there to eat and drink the rest of Gods Creatures to spend on their lusts and it must needs be so with such as do not discern his body in their eatings who is the body of all Creatures and filleth all things in Heaven and in Earth which they who stick in Observations never knew and with such he is alwayes to come or past But the carnall eye which stickes in the Visibles can never see him present to order the Creation out of the Lust and therefore it is that all the Creatures of God are turned to feed the Lust in that state as is seen in all the Worlds Profession and therefore accursed the more riches the more pride the more fullnesse the more lust in that state where Christ is not discerned present And so their eating is not the Supper of the Lord nor doth he sup with them in the Newbut in the lustfull Spirit become the table of the Devill where the Creatures are Sacrificed to his use so he keeps them in observation of a day from the letter which they think is worship but he bears rule in their whole lives by his Spirit and so much of the Creation as is in their hands is used at his will Aud hence is all lasciviousnesse wantonnesse strife fighting Suites and Violence Sports and Vanities too many here to mention all with the Creation is spent upon given not to that end for which they shall account who are in that state when shall be required his Corn and his Wine his Wooll and his Flax which he hath made for his use and to be ordered by his Son who is the fullnesse and vertue of every Creature which all know who come to his Supper where the Father and the Son are come in and Supp with the Creature which all the imitaters and observers of times are ignorant of whose contention is about out-sides And for the sake of such who are lost in this thing and troubled in minde concerning it what I have received of the Lord that I shall declare unto you which all shall witnesse to who come to pertake thereof as the truth is in Christ Jesus If you intend to supp with the Lord or shew the Lords death till he come let your Eating and Drinking so oft as you do it be in remembrance of him and in his feare that at death you may witnesse to the lust and excesse which is that which slew him since the Foundation of the World And is the great enemy of his appearance and that by which he lies slain in the great City which is called Sodom Egypt For all you that live in pleasure on the Earth and are wanton you that nourish your hearts as in the day of slaughter you have condemned and killed the Just and he doth not resist you and you must know a death to this before you can Supp with the Lord or he with you But if you eat in remembrance of him and so come to dye to that which slue him then do you shew the Lords death till he come and when he comes he shall not find you eating and drinking with the drunken nor beating your fellow-servants And this is known from the Lord in the Eternall to be the true end of the Supper of the Lord instituted and appointed that in the rememberance of his death they might

him who maketh his Angels Spirits and his Ministers a flame of fire whose Flesh is the Life of Men and his Light is as a Law that goeth forth whereby man is led to his food and the sons of men sees out of darknesse and this is he who cannot be limitted nor his person restrained in one place who filleth Heaven and Earth with his presence and appeareth at his pleasure to his own though the wise of the world knows him not and therefore limit him above the stars who dwelleth in the bodies of his Saints but as for the Reprobates they know him not so who have put the good day farre from them and hate reproof that they may spend their days in folly and feed themselves with the wind and fill their hearts with carnal delights When the hearts of the Children of Light are established with grace yet these will be disputing about the body of Christ but the body of sinne rules in them whereby they are darkened and become Heart-blind past Ephe. 4. 18 19. feeling the measure of God whose hearts are over-charged with surfeiting and cares of the world and their minds corrupted with Earthly things To such I say Cease your imaginations as to find out what Christ is in that state for he alone reveals himself in Spirit to such as wait in the Light and love that which is pure to such his appearance is as the Sun whose Rising is not by the Will of Man but for his appearing all the World must wait to be refreshed with the Beams of his Glory and to all who are yet in the night shall he appear if you look towards the place of his Rising which is not Lo here Lo there but within you in your Luke 17. 21. hearts and all who are come to the sure Word of Prophesie as to a Light that shines in a dark place to which you do well to take heed til the day dawn and the Day-star arise in your hearts you shall see the Sun arise where the day-starr appeares in your hearts if in the light you wait that shines in the darknesse and you shall feel the vertue and life of him and receive thereof to live in the same with him and you shall see him as he is and know him to be the Sun of Righteousnesse whose arising is with healing in his wings and whose breaking forth is upon all his enemies which over the seed hath raigned whose spirituall weapons are mighty through God to the palling down strongs holds casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth it self against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of himself and having in readinesse to revenge all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled And thus the Saints know the Son with his Light his power and dominion over all things in Heaven and in Earth who rules in righteousnesse in the hearts of his people trampling down Satan under their feet which Son of God Hypocrites call Lord Lord but the Devill they serves and obey and though such have got the words of Lord and Christ and Jesus yet they know not his light his power his kingdom and dominion over sin and the Devill in them to set them free therefrom by his Light and life Nor his blood to wash them from their pollutions and to present them without spot or wrinkle or any such thing And so you have made the name of Christ a reproach among the Nations who call him a redeemer but lives in your sins So as such as professe not the syllables of Christ and Jesus even from a principle of God within them many of them become your Judges as to moderation faithfullnesse and honesty Nay it is manifest amongst you that the name of Jesus which gives the Saints victory over sin you know not Who have it in words and therewith make a cover for your sin your pride Lust and excesse What covetousnesse and all manner of unrighteousnesse is covered over which a profession of the Name of Christ which redeems from those things all that knows him For none knowes Jesus further then they know a Saviour from sin And not a cover for sin and live in it for the promise of the Father is He shall save his people from their sins And the Children of the promise knowes this to be so without a cover or meaning to live in sin And none knowes Christ but who knowes the anointing and such need no man to teach them but as the Anointing teacheth them all things that is true if they abide therein and there is noe lye in it But who sayes they know Christ and are redeemed and commits sin not keeping his commands is a lyer And so abides not in the truth and anointing And so is of the Devil and not of Christ for he that abides in Christ sins not For the Name of Jesus Christ is power over all sin as it is known and the creature baptized into it by faith So all that know Christ know the seed the promise the word of Life the covenant the Heritage the righteousnesse the Kingdom the power the glory which is not of this world and the Father of all which you that commits sin have not seen Neither can any say that Jesus is Lord but by the Spirit so you whose knowledge is without Another Lord ruleth within Concerning the Ministry of Christ THe Ministers of Christ are ever Called out of the World and contrary to the world contrary to their own wills and the wills of all flesh for such have the Word who are begotten of the word and such are begotten contrary to the will of man and through such came the Scriptures which came not by the will of man but by the Spirit and so are of no private interpretation nor are his ministers of any private Call but of himself who hath all creatures in his hand to chuse whom he will to go on his message nor would he ever send by whom the Kings of the earth did chuse nor the powers thereof but such as they called and set up without his Immediate call was ever the great enemies to such as he sent and this is evident in all the Scriptures and in all histories since that when ever the mystery of iniquity had spread over and darknesse had passed over his seed and his people had broken his covenant and lost his word then he in love to his people sent out some Immediately who had his word in them to bear witnesse to the Lord against all their blackslidings and self wayes and formall worships and to such the worlds ministers or rather masters was ever enemies and sought to stirr up the powers of men against them to devour them alwayes under the name of Blasphemers and hereticks destroyers of worship and peace-breakers and enemies to authority when they are but sent of God to testifie against their false worships and to break the peace of the

your selves above your brethren for that came in by the devil and perfection is hid from it and all that live therein nither can it be bought or sold nor procured with all the industry of man Only such obtain it who wait in the light till they receive the free gift of rigteousness and be indued with power from above Not they who heare a thing in the notion and then declare it nor who see a work done and go do the like for none was more like to have been able ministers then the Apostles in this who had seen the mighty works of Christ and heard him and his doctrine but these were not fit for perfecting the Saints till they had received the same Spirit from above Therefore was they commanded to wait at Jerusalem till therewith they was indued and then they was made able ministers not of the letter but of the spirit and their testament in the spirit not old in the letter for that of the letter kills but the Spirit perfects And so all that ever beare the testament in spirit preach and beleive perfection but that testimony of the letter being without cannot perfect the comers thereto for the light faith hope love patience c. are gifts Spiritually given for perfecting and cannot be had any other way but in spirit freely given and freely received which gifts you know not nor the effect of them who are in the literal ministration but in your vain imaginations and comprehensions are Judging you know not what And limitting the spirituall covenant of God to the literall and because you who are in the letter searching with your witt can find no perfection therefore you will judge the spirituall covenant also That so the devill may for ever keep people from the coming in of the better hope for if the first covenant made nothing perfect nor the second neither what hope is there for people seeing no imperfection can enter into the kingdom of heaven Concerning Government or Magistracy THere is no just government but what is of God and in whomsoever he having called them placeth his power and authority which is just and righteous received in the light and from the anointing of Jesus and the subjection to his spiritual power in the soul whom the Father hath appointed King and Governour of all things in heaven and in earth And none can deserve the name of Christian governors but who by him are governed and do receive his authority with subjection thereunto in Spirit Therefore saith the Apostle Let every soul be subject to the higher power And he that will rule for God must first see that his own soul be subject to the higher power must know one higher then hee and so himselfe coming under that power then with that power authority upon him he goes forth to rule with God for God and having set up his Kingdom in his heart he goes to make way that his Kingdom may be set up in others that all may bow to his authority wherewith he is anointed from above and to which he is become subject for conscience sake And so his government being according to that in every conscience every one that minds that in the conscience shall witnesse him and his government to be of God and so he that resists shall receive to himselfe damnation witnessed by that in the conscience and all who own not that in the conscience which is pure to obey the Lord therein the sword of the Lord in the hand of his Minister shall be upon such and that of God to which he is subject even the anointing he hath received shall instruct him in the Spirit of meekenesse wisdome and judgment to find out the transgressor and lay the sword upon him and such shall not beare the sword in vaine but a terror to the evil doer shall be without respect to the persons of men or any other thing but onely to the law of God which is one with that in the conscience So is Christ honoured as Lawgiver and Judge and King and with this honour he honoureth such Rulers in the consciences of all his people and before all the world and though the world knows not the authority of such nor from whom they have it yet all that feare God doe and are made to confesse them before God and man and so Isay was made to confesse to Cyrus whom others counted a Heathen for it is the authority in the person that is honourable where ever it is placed so Moses was dreadfull in this authority though otherwise but a shepheard and the meekest man in the world and Samuel a poore man yet this authority made the Elders of Bethlem to tremble at his coming when they heard thereof Nay it is too much to instance in particulars for all that ever honoured God in this he honoured them whose names are a blessing to this day and their memoriall shall not rott for when such raignes the people rejoyce that delights in righteousnesse the just are bold and righteousnesse flourishes in the open streets and wickednesse is ashamed and is hid and the innocent clap their hands for joy that the Lord raignes and their governors are of themselves When Christ rules all in all then he makes his Officers peace and his exactors righteousnesse But if it be said Must not men own wicked Majestrates I say they are to be owned and obeyed in all things as they are appointed by God for God limits them and hath set bounds to them though they know it not and so far as they command the will of God they are to be obeyed for conscience sake but when they are contrary to God and command that which God forbids and forbid what he commands then God is to be obeyed and man denyed for Consciencesake for none can be obeyed for conscience sake who commands that which is contrary to that of God in the conscience though many do deny the Lord and conforme to such yet who are guided by the Spirit of God which keeps the conscience cleane never could but in all ages have suffered violence from such to keepe their consciences void of offence for so it must be when rulers themselves deny obedience to God in Spirit then all who walk after the Spirit must needs suffer by them And here is the ground of all persecution that ever was when governors are out of the feare of God and stand in their owne wills and walke after the flesh then that seed rules which persecutes him that is borne after the Spirit and so the enmity getting up snares are laid for the innocent to make him an offender for a word who is none indeed And from this ground have the Lambes beene devoured always as evill doers but ever innocent yet never wanting accusations as Heretickes Ring-leaders of Sects and Seditions Blasphemers and the like that so the Devill may the more blind the world least they should see his envie and their innocency
