A13823	The revvard of religion Deliuered in sundrie lectures vpon the booke of Ruth, wherein the godly may see their daily and outwarde tryals, with the presence of God to assist them, and his mercies to recompence them: verie profitable for this present time of dearth, wherein manye are most pittifully tormented with want; and also worthie to bee considered in this golden age of the preaching of the word, when some vomit vp the loathsomnes therof, and others fall away to damnable securitie.

these_o old_a day_n of_o she_o without_o husband_n or_o milk_n which_o we_o know_v be_v the_o chief_a nourishment_n for_o young_a child_n and_o therefore_o a_o nurse_n in_o this_o place_n be_v take_v
