A53721	A practical exposition on the 130th Psalm wherein the nature of the forgiveness of sin is declared, the truth and reality of it asserted, and the case of a soul distressed with the guilt of sin and relieved by a discovery of forgiveness with God is at large discoursed / by John Owen.	Owen, John, 1616-1683.	1669 (1669)	Wing O794; ESTC R26853	334,249	417
