A90835 The poor man's mite, unto the more large contributions of the liberal, at this day freely added, in testimony of that respect which is born unto the faithful and their interest, as it's laid up and hid in Jesus. Briefly discovering, 1. The vanity of that rejoycing, which seems to glory in any thing save the Lord. 2. What is required of all that expect to have the form of the Lords house revealed unto them. 3. That however the chief corner-stone may be rejected, none other foundation can no man lay. 4. That as Christ shall appear, so with him shall the interest of the second of new creation, appear with him in glory. 5. A postscript, or additional word to the reader, occasioned by the late revived noise of uniformity, or national conformity to the principles of some men. 1659 (1659) Wing P2867; Thomason E986_3; ESTC R207764 9,278 15

easy_a to_o be_v discern_v and_o not_o only_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v discover_v but_o also_o the_o hypocrisy_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n for_o as_o the_o glory_n of_o
