A67066 The leper, and the leper's house, cleansed being, an exposition upon some part of the XIVth chapter of Leviticus; the mystery of which is explained and applied to the state and condition of a sinner's becoming a saint. With profitable uses and applications. As also, what chapter may be applied to, as to the cleansing or destroying of any particular church of Christ, in and under the time of the gospel. Divided into ten parts. Written for the information of those which seldom concern themselves about the types and shadows of the Old Testament: very useful for all people. By Thomas Worden, author of, The types unvailed. Worden, Thomas. 1695 (1695) Wing W3578; ESTC R218033 86,936 103

this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o a_o believer_n justification_n and_o sanctification_n be_v so_o complete_a and_o perfect_a it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v carry_v on_o by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v very_a god_n as_o well_o as_o very_a man_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o too_o hard_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o we_o come_v to_o application_n use_v let_v this_o serve_v for_o comfort_n to_o the_o

the_o work_n of_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n for_o they_o that_o be_v put_v beyond_o question_n with_o they_o but_o their_o trouble_n arise_v from_o their_o darkness_n as_o to_o their_o

the_o soul_n first_o of_o all_o the_o sight_n of_o old_a sin_n as_o they_o stand_v upon_o the_o book_n of_o their_o conscience_n they_o think_v because_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n remain_v upon_o
