A50608	The Memory of that servant of God, John Story, revived shewing what manner of man he was from his youth to his grave, by the testimonies of several friends, to whom he was well known, and by whom, for his work sake in the truth, he was greatly beloved : to which is adjoyned something written by him, &c., in his latter years, wherein his judgment is shewn concerning some particular things, and his great desires for love, unity, concord, and peace in the church of Christ.

he_o to_o be_v and_o through_o that_o gift_n and_o wisdom_n that_o be_v bestow_v upon_o he_o he_o know_v how_o to_o behave_v himself_o aright_o in_o the_o assembly_n of_o god_n people_n and_o among_o
