A61415	An admonition concerning a publick fast the just causes we have for it, from the full growth of sin, and the near approaches of God's judgments : and the manner of performance to obtain the desired effects thereof, which ought to be other than our Common Forms, and with stricter acts of moritication than is usual amongst us : with an abstract of Mr. Chillingworth's judgement of the state of religion in this nation in his time : and of a letter from the Hague concerning two sermons preached there in the French church at which were present divers of the English nobility.

something_o brief_o concern_v the_o present_a state_n of_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o what_o may_v be_v expect_v from_o it_o in_o matter_n of_o prudence_n none_o but_o weak_a and_o dull_a or_o
