A54075	The way of life and death made manifest and set before men whereby the many paths of death are impleaded, and the one path of life propounded and pleaded for in some positions concerning the apostacy from the Christian spirit and life, with some principles guiding out of it : as also in answers to some objections whereby the simplicity in some may be entangled : held forth in tender good will both Papists and Protestants who have generally erred from the faith for these many generations, since the dayes of the apostles, and with that which they have erred from are they comprehended / by Isac Pennington the younger.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.; Fox, George, 1624-1691. Cause of all error.; Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662. Here follows the testimony concerning the estate of the true church.	1658 (1658)	Wing P1219; ESTC R14864	89,559	110

that_o will_v have_v a_o religion_n to_o please_v himself_o in_o any_o thing_n must_v not_o come_v hither_o and_o he_o who_o after_o he_o be_v come_v hither_o admit_v of_o any_o thing_n please_v to_o the_o earthly_a and_o start_v from_o the_o cross_n which_o will_v deny_v and_o turn_v from_o it_o so_o far_o as_o it_o do_v so_o he_o go_v backward_o and_o not_o forward_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n

christ_n himself_o prescribe_v to_o become_v his_o disciple_n by_o if_o any_o man_n will_v come_v after_o i_o let_v he_o deny_v himself_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n daily_o and_o follow_v i_o seek_v
