A70812	The glasse of Gods providence towards his faithfvll ones held forth in a sermon preached to the two Houses of Parliament at Margarets Westminster, Aug. 13, 1644, being an extraordinary day of humiliation : wherein is discovered the great failings that the best are liable unto, upon which God is provoked sometimes to take vengeance : the whole is applyed specially to a more carefull observation of our late covenant, and particularly against the ungodly toleration pleaded for under pretence of liberty of conscience / by Herbert Palmer ...

and_o though_o they_o deny_v not_o that_o family-devotion_n be_v duty_n yet_o they_o themselves_o do_v little_a regard_n that_o their_o family_n shall_v observe_v they_o and_o their_o family_n
