A60644	A new catechism wherein many truths are plainly opened by way of question and answer which may be a help and furtherance unto all tender hearted people who are breathing after the Lord and waits for redemption and salvation by Jesus Christ : also something concerning the foundation and principle of the poor afflicted people of God (called Quakers) and of their faith and love towards God and their good will unto men, being also plainly demonstrated by way of question and answer : given forth in the labour of love and put to view for the service of this present generation and also generations to come / William Smith.	Smith, William, d. 1673.	1665 (1665)	Wing S4318; ESTC R26928	43,953	129

our_o faith_n by_o our_o work_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n be_v live_v in_o as_o the_o inward_a principle_n the_o body_n be_v dispose_v by_o its_o motion_n and_o it_o do_v never_o dispose_v the_o body_n to_o conform_v unto_o any_o outward_a thing_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o its_o own_o nature_n so_o that_o the_o body_n be_v not_o to_o act_v the_o spirit_n but_o the_o spirit_n be_v to_o act_v and_o govern_v the_o body_n and_o where_o it_o be_v so_o both_o the_o inward_a and_o the_o outward_a agree_v in_o one_o and_o there_o be_v faith_n inward_o and_o good_a work_n outward_o and_o we_o have_v a_o good_a evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o ourselves_o that_o so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o whereby_o we_o be_v preserve_v upon_o our_o foundation_n inward_o and_o for_o join_v with_o any_o practice_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o outward_o and_o here_o our_o body_n be_v alive_a unto_o god_n in_o his_o spirit_n and_o be_v act_v and_o order_v by_o the_o power_n of_o it_o according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o where_o it_o be_v not_o so_o there_o be_v not_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o body_n and_o so_o a_o dead_a body_n which_o other_o may_v move_v and_o order_v in_o their_o own_o way_n q._n well_o but_o demonstrate_v in_o some_o particular_n your_o nonconformity_n as_o first_o why_o you_o can_v conform_v to_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o be_v now_o establish_v outward_o a._n because_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o it_o be_v establish_v upon_o our_o foundation_n and_o principle_n inward_o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v have_v faith_n in_o it_o nor_o love_n towards_o it_o and_o if_o we_o shall_v conform_v to_o it_o outward_o contrary_a to_o the_o inward_a principle_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o shall_v commit_v sin_n for_o that_o which_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v do_v so_o we_o shall_v commit_v a_o great_a evil_n and_o our_o faith_n and_o love_n unto_o god_n will_v be_v lose_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v why_o we_o can_v conform_v to_o the_o way_n and_o worship_n now_o observe_v according_a to_o that_o discipline_n or_o order_n because_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o which_o our_o body_n be_v alive_a to_o god_n do_v not_o so_o order_n and_o dispose_v we_o and_o we_o dare_v not_o order_v our_o body_n in_o our_o own_o choice_n for_o if_o we_o can_v do_v so_o and_o not_o sin_n against_o god_n we_o shall_v rather_o choose_v to_o conform_v then_o suffer_v but_o we_o know_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v do_v so_o we_o can_v not_o keep_v our_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n towards_o god_n though_o we_o may_v in_o so_o do_v please_v many_o man_n but_o shall_v come_v under_o his_o rebuke_n and_o correction_n for_o transgression_n and_o so_o in_o our_o single_a faith_n and_o love_n towards_o god_n we_o stand_v in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o dare_v not_o move_v to_o observe_v any_o thing_n outward_o but_o as_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o power_n and_o life_n dispose_v we_o inward_o in_o which_o we_o have_v true_a peace_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o our_o great_a tribulation_n and_o hereby_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v why_o we_o can_v conform_v in_o this_o particular_a q._n and_o why_o be_v it_o that_o you_o can_v swear_v at_o all_o a._n because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o inward_a principle_n and_o our_o principle_n be_v the_o truth_n itself_o we_o know_v that_o as_o we_o be_v act_v and_o dispose_v by_o its_o motion_n that_o all_o our_o word_n promise_n and_o engagement_n be_v sure_a and_o steadfast_a for_o they_o be_v firm_o establish_v in_o our_o principle_n and_o therefore_o we_o dare_v not_o swear_v at_o all_o know_v our_o yea_o be_v yea_o and_o our_o nay_o be_v nay_o in_o a_o sure_a and_o steadfast_a principle_n that_o change_v not_o and_o our_o faith_n and_o love_n towards_o god_n be_v in_o our_o principle_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v swear_v at_o all_o we_o shall_v deny_v our_o principle_n which_o be_v christ_n the_o truth_n who_o command_v we_o not_o swear_v at_o all_o and_o our_o faith_n stand_v in_o he_o and_o our_o love_n be_v towards_o he_o we_o be_v constrain_v to_o keep_v his_o command_n because_o we_o know_v that_o all_o his_o command_n be_v according_a to_o truth_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v swear_v at_o all_o we_o shall_v go_v into_o transgression_n and_o fall_v under_o condemnation_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v loose_v the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o peace_n with_o god_n which_o be_v of_o more_o value_n unto_o we_o than_o the_o high_a favour_n in_o the_o world_n q._n but_o do_v your_o faith_n and_o love_n which_o you_o say_v be_v towards_o god_n lead_v you_o whole_o into_o opposition_n to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n who_o be_v to_o rule_v and_o govern_v nation_n and_o kingdom_n a._n nay_o our_o faith_n and_o love_n towards_o god_n make_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n and_o we_o do_v not_o despise_v government_n outward_o but_o do_v believe_v that_o actual_a subjection_n ought_v to_o be_v give_v in_o all_o thing_n that_o pertain_v to_o the_o preservation_n and_o well-being_n of_o such_o as_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n pay_v we_o tribute_n and_o custom_n and_o that_o not_o only_o for_o fear_n but_o for_o conscience_n sake_n whereby_o our_o actual_a subjection_n be_v manifest_v and_o our_o conscience_n keep_v void_a of_o offence_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n for_o as_o we_o know_v that_o our_o inward_a principle_n be_v just_a and_o righteous_a in_o itself_o so_o we_o believe_v that_o every_o power_n in_o outward_a government_n that_o rule_v in_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n between_o man_n and_o man_n be_v to_o be_v own_v and_o submit_v unto_o and_o not_o in_o any_o wise_a to_o be_v resist_v or_o deny_v and_o this_o be_v something_o of_o our_o faith_n concern_v this_o particular_a whereby_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o we_o be_v not_o whole_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n as_o they_o act_n in_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n for_o the_o well-being_n one_o of_o another_o which_o be_v the_o main_a end_n of_o all_o outward_a government_n q._n but_o do_v you_o not_o believe_v that_o you_o ought_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o be_v actual_o subject_a according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o law_n which_o be_v in_o be_v a._n nay_o that_o be_v not_o our_o faith_n for_o where_o any_o law_n concern_v our_o conscience_n and_o that_o contrary_a to_o our_o inward_a principle_n in_o that_o case_n we_o dare_v not_o be_v actual_o subject_a for_o as_o our_o principle_n be_v the_o great_a in_o power_n and_o so_o it_o be_v most_o worthy_a of_o our_o subjection_n and_o our_o faith_n and_o love_n constrain_v we_o so_o to_o do_v and_o where_o any_o outward_a law_n lie_v against_o our_o inward_a principle_n as_o to_o thing_n pertain_v to_o our_o conscience_n we_o in_o that_o case_n be_v passive_a and_o patient_o suffer_v under_o it_o and_o so_o we_o believe_v and_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o conscience_n in_o matter_n of_o worship_n and_o religion_n be_v to_o stand_v single_a unto_o god_n alone_o and_o not_o to_o be_v restrain_v or_o limit_v by_o any_o ordinance_n of_o man_n q._n why_o can_v you_o not_o give_v respect_n and_o honour_n unto_o person_n that_o be_v in_o power_n and_o government_n according_a to_o the_o custom_n which_o be_v use_v a._n because_o it_o be_v against_o our_o faith_n to_o respect_v person_n according_a to_o custom_n for_o we_o have_v not_o the_o faith_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o yet_o we_o give_v honour_n and_o respect_n to_o all_o man_n unto_o who_o it_o be_v due_a but_o the_o hat_n and_o knee_n be_v a_o beggarly_a honour_n and_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v either_o give_v or_o receive_v for_o honour_n be_v far_o below_o the_o honour_n that_o come_v from_o above_o and_o we_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o royal_a seed_n of_o god_n we_o can_v give_v honour_n to_o any_o thing_n below_o it_o and_o all_o the_o custom_n that_o be_v in_o be_v and_o give_v and_o receive_v for_o honour_n among_o man_n they_o be_v all_o below_o the_o royal_a seed_n and_o the_o birth_n bear_v of_o the_o seed_n can_v neither_o give_v nor_o receive_v such_o honour_n and_o this_o be_v our_o faith_n in_o this_o particular_a that_o we_o be_v to_o honour_n god_n and_o all_o man_n in_o the_o lord_n but_o custom_n and_o observation_n with_o the_o hat_n and_o knee_n we_o believe_v and_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n do_v not_o require_v we_o to_o give_v respect_n or_o honour_n unto_o any_o person_n after_o that_o manner_n and_o by_o our_o faith_n we_o live_v in_o our_o principle_n
