A44794	The heart of New-England hardned through wickednes in answer to a book, entituled the Heart of New-England rent, published by John Norton appointed thereunto by the General Court. The doctrine of the Quakers uindicated [sic], his ignorance manifested, and his lying doctrines brought to light and judged with the word of truth, and truth cleared from his aspersions and slanders. By him that waits to see the throne of righteousness exalted above all deceit. Francis Howgill.	Howgill, Francis, 1618-1669.	1659 (1659)	Wing H3166; ESTC R223647	32,471	42

in_o the_o operation_n thereof_o be_v in_o the_o transgression_n it_o convict_v reprove_v accuse_v and_o condemn_v for_o evil_a and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v the_o light_n of_o life_n to_o he_o

be_v not_o of_o gift_n but_o thou_o err_v in_o thy_o judgement_n for_o it_o be_v by_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n that_o justification_n come_v upon_o all_o that_o believe_v it_o be_v not_o this_o or_o that_o qualification_n before_o their_o conversion_n which_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o god_n enlighten_v they_o but_o it_o be_v the_o free_a love_n of_o god_n unto_o man_n without_o
