A97232	Chonoyterion he Sion. The refinement of Zion: or, The old orthodox Protestant doctrine justified, and defended against several exceptions of the Antinomians, methodically digested into questions, wherein many weighty and important cases of conscience are handled, concerning the nature of faith and repentance, or conversion to God: of his eternal love, and beholding of sin in his dearest children: of justification from eternity, of of [sic] preparations to the acceptance of Christ, of prayer for pardon of sin, and turning to God: of the gospel covenant, aud [sic] tenders of salvation, on the termes of faith and repentance. For the establishment of the scrupulous, conviction of the erroneous, and consolation of distressed consciences. By Anthony Warton, minister of the word at Breamore in Hampshire.

they_o do_v know_v christ_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o now_o that_o god_n love_v none_o but_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v he_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v by_o divers_a reason_n first_o justif_a

for_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o god_n shall_v love_v any_o sinner_n as_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n but_o when_o we_o be_v god_n enemy_n and_o as_o yet_o do_v nothing_o that_o be_v good_a we_o be_v

be_v grievous_a and_o bitter_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o that_o can_v rule_v his_o appetite_n that_o he_o deserve_v to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o

2.10_o job_n 2.10_o shall_v we_o receive_v good_a at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o not_o receive_v evil_a you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o affliction_n of_o god_n child_n be_v evil_a in_o themselves_o though_o good_a in_o their_o end_n the_o force_n of_o this_o reason_n object_n our_o adversary_n do_v think_v to_o avoid_v by_o say_v that_o a_o father_n be_v indeed_o angry_a with_o
