A91363	A little cabinet richly stored with all sorts of heavenly varieties, and soul-reviving influences. Wherein there is a remedy for every malady, viz. milk for babes, and meat for strong men, and the ready way for both to obtain and retain assurance of salvation: being an abridgement of the sum and substance of the true Christian religion; wherein the cause of our salvation, the way, the guide, the rule, the evidence, the seals, &c. and the connection of these points together, and dependancy of them one upon another: this I have endeavoured to do orderly, exactly, methodically, with much plainness and clearness. / By Robert Purnell.

3._o ground_n or_o reason_n why_o so_o few_o believe_v be_v because_o it_o be_v the_o great_a design_n of_o satan_n either_o to_o hinder_v or_o overthrow_v our_o faith_n because_o believe_v do_v
