A46371	The reflections of the reverend and learned Monsieur Jurieu, upon the strange and miraculous exstasies of Isabel Vincent, the shepardess of Saov in Dauphiné who ever since February last hath sung psalms, prayed, preached, and prophesied about the present times in her trances : as also upon the wonderful and portentous trumpetings and singing of psalms that were heard by thousands in the air, in many parts of France, in the year 1686 : taken out of the pastoral letters of the 1st and 15th day of October last : to which is added, A letter of a gentleman in Dauphiné, to a friend of His in Geneva, containing the discourses and prophesies of the shepherdess / all faithfully translated out of the French copies ...	Jurieu, Pierre, 1637-1713.	1689 (1689)	Wing J1212; ESTC R14047	30,643	66

that_o be_v think_v significant_a and_o yet_o nothing_o follow_v they_o they_o ought_v to_o remember_v that_o their_o knowledge_n be_v too_o narrow_a to_o comprehend_v every_o thing_n and_o that_o

give_v to_o mankind_n to_o forewarn_v they_o of_o they_o all_o prodigy_n and_o presage_n be_v not_o necessary_o design_v to_o betoken_v dismal_a and_o sad_a event_n their_o use_n be_v to_o render_v

they_o not_o at_o all_o time_n and_o if_o we_o can_v discern_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o send_v they_o one_o time_n and_o not_o another_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v concern_v for_o this_o be_v the_o most_o usual_a course_n of_o god_n almighty_n he_o discover_v himself_o in_o part_n and_o hide_v himself_o in_o part_n he_o leave_v some_o difficulty_n in_o every_o thing_n and_o stone_n of_o
