A91363	A little cabinet richly stored with all sorts of heavenly varieties, and soul-reviving influences. Wherein there is a remedy for every malady, viz. milk for babes, and meat for strong men, and the ready way for both to obtain and retain assurance of salvation: being an abridgement of the sum and substance of the true Christian religion; wherein the cause of our salvation, the way, the guide, the rule, the evidence, the seals, &c. and the connection of these points together, and dependancy of them one upon another: this I have endeavoured to do orderly, exactly, methodically, with much plainness and clearness. / By Robert Purnell.

think_v it_o not_o safe_a rash_o to_o define_v where_o the_o place_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n shall_v be_v of_o the_o person_n who_o it_o be_v that_o shall_v judge_v the_o world_n the_o chief_a

we_o read_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o time_n be_v a_o day_n but_o there_o be_v three_o opinion_n among_o christian_n about_o this_o word_n day_n 1._o some_o take_v the_o day_n here_o speak_v

with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n rev._n 20._o 4._o but_o i_o conceive_v that_o this_o judgement_n and_o reign_n of_o a_o thousand_o year_n can_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o last_o judgement_n because_o death_n the_o last_o enemy_n shall_v in_o the_o resurrection_n be_v destroy_v now_o after_o the_o end_n of_o the_o thousand_o year_n mention_v by_o saint_n john_n satan_n shall_v be_v

from_o god_n out_o of_o heaven_n and_o devour_v they_o all_o 3._o other_o seem_v more_o safe_o to_o apprehend_v that_o the_o day_n here_o mention_v be_v to_o be_v take_v improper_o for_o time_n
