A54075	The way of life and death made manifest and set before men whereby the many paths of death are impleaded, and the one path of life propounded and pleaded for in some positions concerning the apostacy from the Christian spirit and life, with some principles guiding out of it : as also in answers to some objections whereby the simplicity in some may be entangled : held forth in tender good will both Papists and Protestants who have generally erred from the faith for these many generations, since the dayes of the apostles, and with that which they have erred from are they comprehended / by Isac Pennington the younger.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.; Fox, George, 1624-1691. Cause of all error.; Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.

that_o which_o cross_v the_o natural_a and_o this_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o deliver_v from_o the_o natural_a how_o shall_v the_o earthly_a understanding_n the_o earthly_a will_n the_o earthly_a affection_n with_o the_o elementary_a nature_n which_o have_v have_v their_o swinge_n in_o the_o earth_n be_v crucify_v and_o slay_v but_o by_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n he_o therefore_o that_o will_v have_v a_o religion_n to_o please_v himself_o in_o any_o thing_n must_v not_o come_v hither_o and_o he_o who_o after_o he_o be_v come_v hither_o admit_v of_o any_o thing_n please_v to_o the_o earthly_a and_o start_v from_o the_o cross_n which_o will_v deny_v and_o turn_v from_o it_o so_o far_o as_o it_o do_v so_o he_o go_v backward_o and_o not_o forward_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o enmity_n in_o all_o sort_n against_o the_o truth_n for_o it_o strike_v at_o their_o life_n yea_o at_o the_o very_a root_n of_o their_o life_n if_o there_o be_v any_o new_a way_n or_o form_n of_o religion_n hold_v forth_o man_n understanding_n and_o affection_n may_v by_o degree_n be_v wrought_v of_o to_o it_o and_o find_v pleasure_n in_o it_o but_o this_o be_v direct_a death_n to_o that_o nature_n and_o spirit_n that_o have_v live_v in_o any_o form_n of_o religion_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o that_o nature_n and_o spirit_n yet_o through_o this_o death_n the_o true_a life_n spring_v up_o in_o those_o who_o receive_v the_o stroke_n of_o it_o therefore_o be_v willing_a and_o learn_v to_o die_v daily_o and_o bring_v every_o thing_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o christ_n to_o the_o cross_n deny_v self_n in_o every_o thing_n take_v up_o the_o cross_n in_o every_o thing_n follow_v christ_n in_o every_o thing_n this_o be_v the_o way_n which_o christ_n himself_o prescribe_v to_o become_v his_o disciple_n by_o if_o any_o man_n will_v come_v after_o i_o let_v he_o deny_v himself_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n daily_o and_o follow_v i_o seek_v not_o ease_v in_o the_o flesh_n no_o not_o in_o the_o least_o but_o take_v up_o the_o cross_a every_o day_n in_o every_o thing_n till_o the_o earthly_a be_v slay_v till_o the_o wisdom_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v whole_o subdue_v and_o then_o the_o wisdom_n and_o power_n of_o god_n will_v become_v natural_a 2._o keep_v to_o the_o sense_n keep_v to_o the_o feel_n beware_v of_o the_o understanding_n beware_v of_o the_o imagine_v conceive_v mind_n these_o can_v be_v for_o god_n not_o bring_v forth_o any_o thing_n for_o god_n until_o they_o be_v new_o cast_v and_o new_a mould_v the_o one_o seed_n of_o life_n lie_v in_o the_o invisible_a in_o the_o hide_a man_n of_o the_o heart_n among_o multitude_n of_o seed_n of_o death_n all_o which_o have_v their_o growth_n up_o into_o and_o strength_n in_o the_o corrupt_a natural_a so_o that_o this_o seed_n can_v shoot_v up_o into_o any_o part_n of_o the_o natural_a but_o the_o other_o seed_n shoot_v up_o with_o it_o and_o endeavour_v to_o choke_v it_o now_o the_o other_o seed_n spring_v up_o two_o way_n either_o in_o a_o way_n of_o opposition_n against_o the_o the_o true_a seed_n or_o in_o a_o way_n of_o similitude_n

again_o yea_o the_o enemy_n have_v yet_o a_o more_o subtle_a way_n namely_o to_o raise_v motion_n like_o the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o sudden_o before_o the_o light_n have_v give_v the_o

though_o good_a in_o appearance_n may_v be_v the_o less_o suspect_v and_o swallow_v now_o the_o only_a way_n of_o safety_n be_v to_o keep_v out_o of_o the_o natural_a whereof_o the_o enemy_n have_v

in_o that_o sense_n and_o feeling_n and_o when_o he_o come_v he_o will_v come_v with_o strength_n above_o the_o strength_n that_o the_o enemy_n have_v in_o the_o natural_a and_o by_o degree_n
