B03501	The mystery of faith opened up: or Some sermons concerning faith (two where of were not formerly printed.) Wherein the nature, excellency, and usefulness of that noble grace is much cleared, and the practice thereof most powerfully pressed. Whereunto are added other three sermons, two concerning the great salvation, one of these not formerly printed, and a third concerning death. / By that pious and worthy servant of Jesus Christ, Mr. Andrew Gray, late minister of the Gospel in Glasgow. All these sermons being now carefully revised, and much corrected.	Gray, Andrew, 1633-1656.; Traill, Robert, 1642-1716.; Stirling, John, b. 1621?	1668 (1668)	Wing G1616; ESTC R177630	121,416	225

you_o will_v but_o come_v forth_o and_o cast_v a_o look_n to_o christ_n your_o very_a shakel_n shall_v fall_v off_o your_o hand_n and_o you_o shall_v be_v as_o those_o who_o be_v never_o bind_v now_o

will_v you_o take_v he_o for_o your_o salvation_n consideration_n 4._o if_o you_o will_v take_v christ_n now_o he_o shall_v be_v your_o guide_n when_o you_o be_v go_v through_o the_o valley_n and_o

salvation_n therefore_o do_v not_o delay_v but_o embrace_v christ_n lest_o death_n surprise_v you_o ere_o you_o be_v aware_a and_o so_o the_o acceptable_a day_n be_v lose_v but_o unto_o these_o who_o think_v they_o may_v delay_v till_o death_n i_o say_v sure_o there_o be_v many_o damn_a atheist_n in_o hell_n that_o sometime_o do_v think_v as_o you_o think_v i_o will_v make_v all_o wrong_n right_a when_o death_n and_o i_o shall_v meet_v i_o hope_v that_o three_o day_n repentance_n will_v satisfy_v for_o all_o my_o wrong_n for_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v many_o in_o hell_n who_o do_v never_o get_v three_o day_n to_o think_v upon_o their_o former_a way_n therefore_o o_o come_v come_v and_o embrace_v christ_n present_o now_o be_v you_o all_o persuade_v of_o this_o truth_n that_o you_o shall_v once_o see_v death_n then_o study_v a_o tender_a walk_n for_o believe_v i_o there_o be_v many_o of_o we_o that_o shall_v go_v through_o death_n with_o many_o bruise_a bone_n because_o of_o

believe_v i_o death_n will_v preach_v these_o thing_n unto_o you_o in_o a_o more_o terrible_a manner_n than_o we_o can_v do_v at_o this_o time_n therefore_o i_o say_v to_o each_o of_o you_o o_o
