A67066 The leper, and the leper's house, cleansed being, an exposition upon some part of the XIVth chapter of Leviticus; the mystery of which is explained and applied to the state and condition of a sinner's becoming a saint. With profitable uses and applications. As also, what chapter may be applied to, as to the cleansing or destroying of any particular church of Christ, in and under the time of the gospel. Divided into ten parts. Written for the information of those which seldom concern themselves about the types and shadows of the Old Testament: very useful for all people.

as_o soon_o as_o the_o priest_n can_v apply_v each_o one_o after_o the_o other_o the_o blood_n apply_v first_o and_o then_o the_o oil_n next_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v observe_v this_o point_n of_o

and_o good_a for_o the_o form_n of_o it_o and_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v a_o glorious_a work_n psal_n 19_o 1._o hence_o say_v moses_n deut._n 32._o 4._o his_o work_n be_v perfect_a so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o a_o believer_n justification_n and_o sanctification_n be_v so_o complete_a and_o perfect_a it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v carry_v on_o by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v very_a god_n as_o well_o as_o very_a man_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o too_o hard_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o we_o come_v to_o application_n use_v let_v this_o serve_v for_o comfort_n to_o the_o
