A58545	The visible glory of the reign of Christ on earth, no ways repugnant to the spirituality of his kingdom. Occasion'd by an epistolary discourse intituled The reign of Christ among his saints, denying any such outward and visible kingdom.	J. S.	1677 (1677)	Wing S103; ESTC R34575	59,327	88

whole_a creation_n do_v unto_o this_o day_n yea_o we_o that_o have_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n say_v the_o apostle_n even_o we_o ourselves_o groan_v within_o ourselves_o wait_v for_o

for_o this_o be_v all_o the_o evidence_n you_o bring_v or_o indeed_o can_v bring_v for_o the_o absoluteness_n of_o this_o perfection_n and_o glory_n our_o imperfection_n manifold_a testify_v against_o
