Applied (as it was specially intended) for the better information of our judgements, and quickning of our affections in holiness, wherein our everlasting our everlasting happiness chiefly consisteth. / Preached in the weekly lecture at Evesham in the county of Worcester, by George Hopkins, M.A. minister of the Gospel there.; Salvation from sinne by Jesus Christ Hopkins, George, 1620-1666. 1655 (1655) Wing H2743; Thomason E1608_1; ESTC R208454 135,124 325
