A47081	Mercy triumphing over judgement or, A warning for Sabbath-breakers Published for Gods glory and the benefit of all true Christians. By me Thomas Jones, of the City of Hereford. Who for prophaning the Lords Day was [m]ost miraculously strucken by the hand of God, and ut[te]rly depriv'd of all my senses, for the space of 4 years; [an]d now by his great mercy (upon my hearty repen[ta]nce) being perfectly restored to my former health, I [w]as moved to set forth this ensuing relation, as a testi[m]ony of my thankfulnesse to God for his fatherly [ch]astisement; and that all others by my example, may [b]e deterred from so hainous an offence as Sabbath-breaking.	Jones, Thomas, of Hereford.	1641 (1641)	Wing J993A; ESTC S103195	21,118	49

on_o whitsunday_n for_o than_o i_o know_v from_o god_n i_o go_v astray_o within_o six_o week_n the_o surgeon_n come_v again_o to_o i_o but_o then_o they_o say_v i_o tell_v he_o plain_a i_o know_v he_o

surgeon_n well_o yet_o he_o appeal_v to_o god_n he_o can_v not_o make_v i_o speak_v again_o yet_o i_o but_o half_a a_o year_n do_v so_o remain_v nay_o in_o a_o month_n or_o two_o my_o health_n i_o
