A78440	Balaam's wish: a sermon Wherein the vanity of desires without endeavours, in order to the obtaining the death of the upright, and their last end, is opened and applyed. First occasionally preached, and now at the request of some published. By an unworthy messenger of Christ.	Cawton, Thomas, 1637-1677.	1670 (1670)	Wing C1652; ESTC R225053	24,897	113

without_o some_o preface_n of_o honour_n as_o king_n david_n my_o lord_n the_o king_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o he_o be_v about_o forty_o time_n call_v king_n david_n and_o my_o lord_n the_o king_n

you_o then_o desire_v to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o a_o great_a man_n sure_o it_o be_v not_o so_o good_a as_o to_o die_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o great_a god_n and_o therefore_o hezekiah_n a_o

wealthy_a many_o person_n we_o see_v in_o the_o world_n they_o toil_v and_o labour_n and_o sweat_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v they_o the_o reason_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v this_o that_o they_o may_v
