A57428	The wonder of the world being a perfect relation of a young maid, about eighteen years of age, which hath not tasted of any food this two and fifty weeks ... : wherein is related the whole truth and no more, as it was taken from the mouth of the damsel and her mother, being a true account of her condition / written by Thomas Robins ...	Robins, Thomas.	1669 (1669)	Wing R1663; ESTC R4546	7,629	23

she_o do_v not_o advance_v herself_o in_o any_o way_n but_o do_v confess_v herself_o a_o sinner_n trust_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o mercn_n and_o the_o lord_n grant_v every_o one_o of_o we_o so_o for_o to_o do_v she_o be_v very_o ready_a in_o the_o scripture_n be_v able_a to_o discourse_v with_o any_o of_o the_o clergy_n she_o be_v so_o very_o ready_a in_o dispute_v of_o scripture_n and_o yet_o very_o small_a learning_n when_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o ftrike_v she_o into_o this_o condition_n and_o yet_o now_o as_o ready_a as_o if_o she_o have_v go_v seven_o year_n to_o the_o school_n a_o mighty_a providence_n and_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v admire_v at_o but_o the_o lord_n be_v suffisient_a and_o be_v able_a to_o do_v much_o more_o than_o man_n be_v able_a to_o express_v but_o before_o i_o go_v any_o further_a i_o do_v intend_v to_o give_v you_o a_o little_a more_o satisfaction_n concern_v this_o damsel_n taste_v for_o after_o it_o be_v know_v and_o spread_v abroad_o in_o the_o country_n the_o thing_n be_v so_o very_o strange_a that_o the_o country_n be_v very_o hard_o of_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v true_a as_o some_o do_v to_o this_o 〈◊〉_d will_v not_o believe_v but_o all_o i_o can_v say_v to_o such_o as_o these_o i_o pray_v god_n that_o they_o have_v a_o true_a faith_n to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o as_o for_o my_o own_o part_n my_o conscience_n tell_v i_o i_o ought_v to_o believe_v it_o for_o when_o i_o be_v with_o she_o i_o can_v not_o conceive_v any_o way_n to_o the_o contrary_n but_o indeed_o the_o hard_a belief_n of_o some_o man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o for_o in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o walk_v on_o the_o earth_n i_o say_v there_o be_v many_o that_o will_v not_o believe_v he_o which_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o of_o hereafter_o but_o now_o to_o give_v you_o a_o little_a more_o satisfaction_n concern_v this_o damsel_n fast_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o some_o of_o the_o head_n of_o the_o gentry_n which_o live_v near_o the_o damsel_n cause_v twenty_o maid_n to_o be_v choose_v out_o of_o several_a town_n thereabouts_o to_o wake_v and_o watch_v with_o she_o for_o to_o see_v how_o she_o live_v that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_o satisfy_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o these_o twenty_o maid_n do_v watch_v and_o wake_v with_o she_o every_o one_o her_o turn_n and_o when_o they_o have_v do_v they_o all_o agree_v that_o she_o receive_v no_o food_n but_o as_o they_o wet_v her_o lip_n with_o spring_n water_n in_o a_o spoon_n which_o be_v a_o great_a satisfaction_n to_o many_o yet_o some_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o very_o hard_o of_o belief_n but_o since_o that_o tune_n for_o a_o further_a trial_n the_o most_o worthy_a and_o honourable_a earl_n of_o devonshire_n for_o a_o further_o and_o more_o full_a satisfaction_n he_o have_v send_v fourteen_o maid_n to_o wake_v and_o watch_v with_o she_o that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o more_o satisfy_v in_o the_o truth_n these_o maid_n wake_v with_o she_o by_o two_o at_o a_o time_n for_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n and_o so_o every_o two_o do_v so_o till_o they_o have_v wake_v seven_o night_n and_o seven_o day_n and_o when_o they_o have_v so_o do_v they_o certify_v that_o she_o do_v receive_v no_o mortal_a food_n but_o only_o the_o wet_n of_o her_o lip_n with_o spring_n water_n in_o a_o spoon_n and_o as_o it_o be_v very_o credable_o report_v this_o have_v give_v he_o very_o good_a satisfaction_n and_o he_o do_v believe_v it_o to_o be_v true_a indeed_o it_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a and_o miraculous_a wonder_n nay_o it_o may_v be_v call_v a_o wonder_n of_o all_o wonder_n for_o the_o like_a be_v never_o hear_v of_o before_o neither_o in_o our_o day_n nor_o in_o our_o forefather_n day_n no_o not_o since_o the_o lord_n create_v man_n but_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o to_o let_v we_o see_v his_o handiwork_n for_o to_o try_v whether_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o can_v work_v strange_a and_o wonderful_a work_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o so_o hard_a of_o belief_n that_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v i_o mean_v concern_v this_o maid_n that_o there_o be_v some_o desembleation_n in_o it_o and_o will_v find_v some_o scornful_a word_n or_o other_o concern_v it_o nay_o some_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v witchcraft_n in_o it_o but_o as_o for_o such_o as_o those_o i_o desire_v not_o to_o spend_v no_o rash_a judgement_n upon_o they_o but_o leave_v they_o in_o the_o imagination_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n but_o as_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o full_o believe_v as_o the_o word_n say_v as_o you_o may_v find_v it_o in_o the_o 28._o chap._n of_o the_o prophet_n isaih_n and_o about_o the_o 29._o verse_n the_o word_n be_v these_o this_o also_o come_v forth_o from_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n which_o be_v wonderful_a in_o counsel_n and_o excellent_a in_o work_v but_o indeed_o in_o these_o day_n man_n heart_n be_v so_o deceitful_a that_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o find_v any_o that_o his_o heart_n and_o tongue_n agree_v together_o for_o many_o in_o these_o our_o day_n which_o do_v make_v a_o fair_a 〈◊〉_d that_o they_o be_v very_o religious_a people_n and_o fear_v the_o lord_n in_o a_o out_o 〈◊〉_d to_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o i_o say_v such_o as_o they_o i_o can_v hear_v do_v spend_v their_o judgement_n very_o rash_o concern_v this_o maid_n which_o i_o here_o have_v speak_v off_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o as_o for_o such_o as_o those_o i_o will_v desire_v they_o to_o look_v in_o the_o 29._o chapter_n of_o isaiah_n and_o about_o the_o 13._o verse_n and_o consider_v with_o themselves_o whether_o they_o be_v 〈◊〉_d or_o no_o of_o that_o deep_a hypocrisy_n as_o the_o lord_n call_v it_o in_o the_o content_n of_o that_o chapter_n as_o you_o may_v sin_v in_o the_o 13._o verse_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n say_v forasmuch_o as_o this_o people_n draw_v near_o i_o with_o their_o mouth_n and_o with_o their_o lip_n do_v honour_v i_o but_o have_v remove_v their_o heart_n far_o from_o i_o and_o their_o fear_n towards_o i_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o precept_n of_o man_n and_o fear_v we_o may_v see_v now_o the_o lord_n be_v angry_a with_o this_o people_n in_o those_o day_n which_o make_v such_o a_o fair_a outward_a show_n with_o their_o lip_n but_o yet_o their_o heart_n be_v contrary_a indeed_o i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o look_v into_o the_o 14._o verse_n of_o that_o same_o chapter_n and_o there_o you_o may_v find_v it_o very_o plain_a to_o understand_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o lord_n do_v work_v such_o great_a and_o marvellous_a work_n for_o as_o i_o have_v read_v it_o unto_o you_o in_o the_o 13._o verse_n he_o challenge_v they_o for_o their_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o behold_v i_o proceed_v to_o do_v a_o marvellous_a work_n among_o this_o people_n even_o a_o marvellous_a work_n and_o a_o wonder_n and_o indeed_o the_o lord_n may_v for_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o know_v have_v speak_v the_o very_a same_o word_n to_o we_o here_o in_o these_o our_o nation_n for_o to_o be_v sure_o no_o nation_n in_o these_o day_n can_v be_v deep_o plunge_v in_o that_o deadly_a sin_n of_o hypocrisy_n than_o we_o for_o in_o the_o 13._o verse_n you_o may_v understand_v that_o the_o lord_n call_v desembleation_n a_o deep_a hypocrisy_n in_o these_o word_n they_o honour_v i_o with_o their_o lip_n but_o have_v remove_v their_o heart_n far_o from_o i_o and_o i_o pray_v god_n there_o be_v not_o too_o many_o such_o now_o adays_o which_o may_v be_v a_o great_a cause_n of_o the_o lord_n work_v this_o great_a and_o marvellous_a work_n here_o among_o we_o now_o in_o this_o sinful_a nation_n and_o have_v make_v his_o choose_a uessel_n of_o this_o damsel_n for_o to_o work_v this_o great_a and_o marvellous_a work_n upon_o and_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o know_v may_v have_v speak_v the_o very_a same_o word_n to_o she_o as_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o 41._o of_o isaiah_n and_o about_o the_o 9_o and_z 10_o verse_n the_o word_n be_v these_o i_o pray_v you_o take_v notice_n it_o be_v worth_a your_o observation_n thou_o who_o i_o have_v take_v from_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o call_v thou_o from_o the_o chief_a man_n thereof_o and_o say_v into_o thou_o thou_o be_v my_o servant_n i_o have_v choose_v thou_o and_o not_o
