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

with hope and faith and keep therein and be not discouraged because of the littleness of it in your present sight neither do you judge and measure it thereby for you know not what power it hath with God and how precious it is in his sight and what it will obtain for you at his hands in the time of need you have not yet proved nor can you while you have things greater in your thoughts than it to run to the power of Holiness and Truth in the inward parts is not known but in the depth when the fire of wrath comes upon all vain hopes and hypocritical confidence when all that is without a man is removed far away when all relations friends and acquaintance are become farther off than strangers and what-ever thing the creature seeks to for comfort turns against him and adds to his grief then is known the power of Holiness and Truth in heart with God and a clean Conscience will speak peace and none can take it away from you if you abide but in it He that hath proved it commends it to you who have been stript of all that ye might learn and know the treasure of life and holiness with God wherefore judge not that which is holier and lower then your selves but let that which is just and holy judge that which is above it in you which is not of that nature The cause why it is so little esteemed in you is because you are so great in the contrary nature and the proud despises the poor and the rich undervalues him that is better then himself And this you will find in you if you measure with that which God esteems and weighs all flesh by to wit by that which is his own and as he is in every creature so do not you judge the most Holy but believe and obey for the time for you to judge is not yet come till the most Holy and Just be King in you and you in him so keep in that which is holy and just and grow in him that he may grow in you and arise through death of his enemies to be greater then the greatest greater then the World and the Prince of it which is the Devil wherein is all unbelief false fears and doubting and exaltation against the Holy One and as these Towers fall which are lifted up against the Lord so his way will become a plain and Truth will take his place in you as King and Lord which God loves which the unbelief is out of and against and as the Pure arises you will find a change in your mind in your nature in your judgment and in your government and you will come to know that your kingdom and power with the highest stands in the anointing of the most Holy and the Kingdom of God is within you and the poor takes it So you must not fix your faith upon that which is great and strong in you because it is so nor because it is likely nor because it promiseth great things but believe in that which is most holy true and just in you that to the Anointing of the most Holy you may come in your particular and he will bring you into the Assembly of the Sanctified where the Holy One reigneth over all for it 's he that 's sent out into the world that lies in wickedness to gather them one by one into Sanctification therein to present unto God as many as receive him who is without spot or blemish And all the world take notice of this where ever it comes this is He whom the Father of Lights hath now sent into you that are in the world the Holy One of God sent to call you and give you light who saith I am the Light of the World Hear him and believe that you may become Children of Light and Truth this is the glad-tydings and Gospel of Jesus Christ who is preached to you in the world Professions and forms would limit the Holy One to themselves and exclude others but Gods gift is free in Christ Jesus and his tender is to all men who would have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth none he excludes none but who will not receive his gift his Son the most Holy which calls you who through the preaching of the Gospel is come near you yea he is in you with his Light giving you to see the way out of darkness which no other thing could do for you and without money or price you have him If you receive him and keep his sayings and obey his movings He will dwell in you and take up his aboad and you shall know that the Father hath sent him to call you out of the world into the Light of Life if you deny Him he will deny you If you receive Him the Father will love you and power from above will be given to become the Sons of God Wherefore mind that Spirit which calls you out of sin out of the world and gives you light to see what is sin and deceit in your own hearts hearken to that which is Holy and would not have you do evil that 's of the Holy One and the most Holy in you believe in Him and follow Him believe not them who would make you believe you have him not in you who are past feeling in themselves and have already rejected him but you who feel him abide in him who is holy in you against all unholiness a witness cut not your selves off through disobedience and unbelief and he will in no wise cast you out but will encrease your light through obedience and purifie your souls and cleanse your bodies and work in you mightily in Truth to Salvation and you shall see that his working is pure and good and that which none else can do for you and this is the Lord your Righteousnesse though yet you know him not as he is And if you will receive the most Holy this is your time and the day of your visitation by him whose Light is now rejected of the builders of this world and the wisdom of the wise will not know him nor suffer him to rule above their carnal rudiments nor to be all in their hearts to guide with his Light to Salvation so to the out-casts he is preached who are afar off and have not sought him You is he seeking with his Light if you reject him not he will make you to see Light who have sat in the region of death and gross darkness hath covered you wherefore hearken to him that saith Come and feel that Spirit that draws that you may answer his love freely as it is freely tendred and know him by his holiness that it is he and let his uuchangeable witness in you in the night and in the day perswade your hearts that he is the Lord who changeth not and he that declares unto man his thoughts his name is the Lord of Hosts And you that withstand

whose life you speak evil of but know it not by birth and virtue which is naturally good as the first man is naturally evil And the bondage is in that which is against the pure nature and not in that which is free-born and the law is upon the transgressor and him that is degenerated into that nature which is carnal and sensual and if this man do any thing as to God it is from something that is laid upon him not in spirit but from without and this is legal and in bondage which is not in the free Spirit which doth by nature the things contained in the Law And little it is that such would either do or know were there not a Law or a Letter a Heaven or a Hell to put them upon works and here is the bondage and fear that hath torment but with the Spiritual Seed it is not so who are begotten and born of God in Christ Jesus in whom they receive freely as the branch of the root and what he sends forth through them is fruits of the Spirit against which there is no Law and this is not legal but spiritual and free who are a Law unto themselves and there is no Law against the Seed but is added upon the transgressor because of sin till the Seed be come and where the Seed is born and rules that creature is not under the law letter nor tradition nor bondage but led by the Spirit and born of that Nature which was before transgression was by which the fruits of Righteousness are brought to light by the working of the Holy Ghost who worketh the will and deed of his good pleasure and with the same good will and pleasure it is brought forth without bondage or constraint And in whom the bonds of iniquity are broken the world ended and all things become new and all things of God there dwells not self-righteousness nor spirit of bondage but that is the new creature which is in Christ Jesus created unto good works and not in self and the Heavens new and the Earth new wherein dwells Righteousness as it is in Christ Jesus revealed from God in Spirit and Power without the Law manifest to which the Law and the Prophets bear witness having foretold what glory and freedom should be revealed in the latter dayes at the Seeds appearing and the Letter testifies of this life and power but is not this life but the Spirit gives this life and freedom that it may be of grace freely and the glory of the Lord who is that Spirit and here is the boaster and self excluded and all fruitless trees condemned and seen to come short of the glory of God of whose works he is not either root or off-spring And before you can judge of this Freedom or the nature of the works that spring thereof or inherit the power that brings forth this Righteousness you must own the Judgment of Him that condemns the man of sin in you and receive him for your Law-giver which will break you off from the world and would have you to deny the forms and images and bring you from under its power that 's he that breaks the house of bondage and sets the righteous Seed at liberty to bear the fruits which are of God And thus hath Christ sent his servants to seek the lost and to gather them from among bryers and thorns and bring them to Zion one by one and as they were gained out of sin so the Devils kingdom fell and grew weaker by every servant he lost and Christs Kingdom increased until the Kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of Righteousnesse wherein the righteous King reigns And out of cruel mockings scorning and bloody persecutions they gathered the lost and gained them to God yea sometimes pulled them out of the fire such hath been their faith and zeal for Christ and his holy Kingdom and their stedfastness to that work to which they were called and hired and the furie of the adversary and his opposite power against him in his servants hath often reached unto blood rendering evil for love to their souls Wherefore take heed to your selves you that name the Lord and call him Master depart from iniquity and obey the good This is his work if you be his servants he hath called you to holinesse as he is holy And that you turn from the world and repent of his works who is the prince of it and deny him and them openly and in secret if you will serve the holy One you must bear his mark and open your heart to him and your mouth for him as confidently as the servants of sin do for it that your Light might shine against the darknesse of this world in the face of the perverse and crooked generation that it may appear to all men that the wayes of the Lord and the world are not one nor their servants one nor their words one nor their garments one nor their table one in all things bearing his Image and Glory above his Adversary that it may appear whose Family you belong to and what is his Glory who hath hired you and what is the Work of your Lord in the World And herein may all people as in a glass see your selves and what you are to God in this his day and what against him these are the two masters which Christ tells of which none can serve but the one he hates who serves the other so now who hath hired you whom do you serve and whom do you hate Is it the World you serve then you hate Christ Is it Christ then you deny the World And these are plain things and you may read as you go if you will whose business you go about and whose hand you strengthen If you commit sin and plead for it then you war against him that is manifest to destroy sin And if you say sin must live in you while you live then while you live the Devil must have a place and power in you and a kingdom as long as you live and if you believe to overcome sin then you wait for the Kingdom of God which consists in Righteousness and believe to see it and seek it daily with your whole heart for it is not words which take the Kingdom but power of Faith against the evil one Neither is it forms and professions or any outward thing that can vanquish the Devil for he is a spirit and by a spiritual power must he be resisted and the weapons must be spiritual and mighty through God which casts down his seat in man though many are led out from form to form and deny that power of God in them and obey the power of sin in them not knowing that power which layes the Ax to the root of the evil tree out of which all the evil springs and these are manifest to be such as are not hired what ever your forms may be which you chuse and change you are but in the
