A94794	A legacy for saints; being several experiences of the dealings of God with Anna Trapnel, in, and after her conversion, (written some years since with her own hand) and new coming to the sight of some friends, they have judged them worthy of publike view; together with some letters of a latter date, sent to the congregation with whom she walks in the fellowship of the Gospel, and to some other friends.

if_o thou_o exalt_v it_o high_o than_o thou_o shall_v thou_o dishonour_v christ_n and_o endanger_v thy_o spiritual_a welfare_n true_o saint_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o misplace_v thing_n every_o thing_n
