A65908 The doctrine of perfection vindicated by way of answer to some objecting reasons frequently used by them that plead for sin in this life ... with some wholesome exhortation ... shewing plainly how it is agreeable with what is signified in the Scripture and the light within ... : something likeways expressed concerning bread and wine : also some wholsome directions to stir up young people to seek after their Creator in the days of their youth / written by one who breathes to God for the redemption of the seed that lies yet in the house of bondage bound by the cords of iniquity, J.W. Whitehouse, John, fl. 1662-1663. 1663 (1663) Wing W1984; ESTC R33637 36,477 48

deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o break_v the_o law_n by_o his_o powerful_a spirit_n that_o you_o may_v follow_v it_o and_o your_o fruit_n may_v be_v unto_o righteousness_n and_o you_o dead_a to_o
