A96266	The narrow path of divine truth described from living practice and experience of its three great steps, viz Purgation, illumination & union according to the testimony of the holy scriptures; as also of Thomas a Kempis, the German divinity, Thauler, and such like. Or the sayings of Matthew Weyer reduced into order in three books by J. Spee. Unto which are subjoyned his practical epistles, done above 120 years since in the Dutch, and after the author's death, printed in the German language at Frankfort 1579. And in Latin at Amsterdam 1658. and now in English.	Weyer, Matthias, 1521-1560.; Spee, J.	1683 (1683)	Wing W1525A; ESTC R231717	176,738	498

the_o motion_n of_o sin_n be_v still_o there_o then_o be_v not_o sin_n yet_o thorough_o take_v away_o but_o after_o that_o sin_n be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o mind_n than_o it_o betake_v itself_o to_o

will_v not_o be_v constant_a and_o firm_a but_o now_o righteousness_n plant_v in_o the_o place_n of_o sin_n which_o righteousness_n be_v christ_n who_o now_o have_v take_v up_o the_o man_n and_o work_v and_o perform_v all_o the_o man_n commission_n of_o good_a and_o omission_n of_o evil_a but_o the_o man_n only_o yield_v up_o himself_o quiet_o to_o christ_n and_o he_o himself_o be_v at_o

soever_o or_o glory_n spring_v from_o hence_o he_o ascrib●s_v all_o of_o it_o to_o christ_n but_o attribute_v nothing_o to_o himself_o because_o that_o nothing_o thereof_o do_v indeed_o belong_v to_o
