A10931	Certaine sermons preached and penned by Richard Rogers preacher of Weathersfield in Essex, directly tending to these three ends. First, to bring any bad person (that hath not committed the sinne that is vnpardonable) to true conuersion. Secondly, to stablish and settle all such as are conuerted, in faith and repentance. Thirdly, to leade them forward (that are so setled) in the Christian life, to bring foorth the fruite of both. Whereunto are annexed diuers godlie and learned sermons of another reuerend and faithfull seruant of God, Mr. Samuel Wright, Bachelor of Diuinitie, late president of Sidney Colledge in Camebridge, deceased, tending also to the same ends, with diuers particular points in both, profitable and fit for these times.	Rogers, Richard, 1550?-1618.; Wright, Samuel, d. ca. 1612. aut	1612 (1612)	STC 21203; ESTC S116121	188,868	230

also_o will_v illustrate_v the_o story_n of_o his_o conversion_n more_o clear_o from_o the_o 28._o verse_n to_o the_o 33._o 28._o paul_n see_v this_o miserable_a jailer_n in_o this_o extremity_n

even_o as_o if_o he_o be_v our_o friend_n therefore_o moses_n say_v 23.5_o if_o thy_o enemy_n ox_n or_o ass_n fall_v under_o the_o burden_n thou_o shall_v help_v he_o up_o again_o and_o as_o the_o
