A54907	The captive (that hath long been in captivity) visited with the day-spring from on high. Or the prisoner (that hath fitten in the prison-house of woful darkness) freed into the everlasting light and covenant of God, in which perfect peace and satisfaction is Written by way of conference, and sent out into the world for the sake of those who have long groped upon the tops of the dark mountains, where the barrennesse and emptinesse is, without the knowledge of the true light to be their guide, that they (as in a glass) may see themselves, and read what hath been the cause why they have so long sought, and not found that they have sought for. Given forth especially for the sake of the scattered people in America, by one who labors for and waits to see the elect gathered from the four quarters of the earth, known by the name of Richard Pinder.	Pinder, Richard, d. 1695.	1660 (1660)	Wing P2262; ESTC R219448	16,995	45

to_o give_v peace_n as_o ever_o it_o be_v to_o trouble_v and_o condemn_v i_o when_o i_o have_v commit_v unrighteousness_n and_o as_o i_o remember_v thou_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v and_o
