A94505	Christ knocking at the doore, or, The substance of a sermon intended to be preached in Pauls upon the Sabbath day which fell upon the fifteenth day of April last: but not preached, by reason of a suddain obstruction of that liberty which was promised him, being indeed unworthy to be the servant of Jesus Christ in any such ministration for ever. / Published by the authour Philip Tanny commonly Tandy.

seem_v to_o i_o to_o consist_v of_o these_o grand_a part_n first_o of_o several_a exhortation_n full_a of_o life_n which_o st_n john_n receive_v from_o christ_n the_o author_n of_o they_o second_o
