A29687	The crovvn & glory of Christianity, or, Holiness, the only way to happiness discovered in LVIII sermons from Heb. 12. 14, where you have the necessity, excellency, rarity, beauty and glory of holiness set forth, with the resolution of many weighty questions and cases, also motives and means to perfect holiness : with many other things of very high and great importance to all the sons and daughters of men, that had rather be blessed then cursed, saved then damned / by Thomas Brooks ...

which_o be_v a_o christian_n spiritual_a life_n can_v be_v so_o hide_v but_o it_o will_v discover_v it_o a_o hundred_o hundred_o way_n the_o second_o position_n be_v this_o that_o holiness_n rise_v
