A14114	A silver watch-bell The sound wherof is able (by the grace of God) to win the most profane worldling, and carelesse liuer, if there be but the least sparke of grace remaining in him, to become a true Christian indeed, that in the end he may obtaine euerlasting saluation. Wherunto is annexed a treatise of the holy Sacrament of the Lords Supper.	Tymme, Thomas, d. 1620.	1605 (1605)	STC 24421; ESTC S106042	114,862	276
