A51262 Clavis aurea; or, a golden key: by which hidden and mystical scriptures are opened and explained Wherein is clearly discovered and asserted, the doctrine of the salvation of all men. Also the mystery of iniquity laid open, and the doctrine of freewill fully refuted; by proving, that sin is an infirmity. By Thomas Moor. Moor, Thomas, fl. 1695-1697. 1695 (1695) Wing M2608BA; ESTC R216357 21,064 33

let_v any_o man_n consider_v this_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a with_o god_n as_o to_o make_v a_o camel_n pass_v through_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o

for_o justice_n describe_v in_o moses_n law_n which_o law_n christ_n come_v to_o fulfil_v make_v the_o cause_n render_v the_o satisfaction_n hence_o adam_n death_n be_v only_o a_o punishment_n but_o
