A84337	The axe, against sin and error; and the truth conquering. A sermon on Matthew 3. 10. Now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees, therefore every tree, that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire. At which, a Christian confessed, she was converted; and because it did good to her, desired it might be preached again at her funerall, that it might do good to others, ... wherein are shewed the causes of the sword upon England, and on the Lutherans, and the remedies that must be used, before the judgements cease. / Written by John Eachard, M. A. of Trin. Col. Camb. and pastor of Darsham in Suffolke. Published according to order.	Eachard, John, 17th cent.	1646 (1646)	Wing E46; Thomason E322_26; ESTC R200585	51,668	51

most_o sound_o among_o man_n have_v convert_v most_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o so_o few_o be_v convert_v in_o these_o day_n because_o few_o preach_v the_o law_n clear_o in_o the_o spiritual_a

and_o catch_v no_o fish_n convert_v no_o soul_n though_o he_o labour_v all_o his_o life_n this_o be_v the_o right_a side_n that_o christ_n evil_a bid_v peter_n cast_v out_o the_o net_n on_o i_o the_o

evil_a but_o partly_o good_a and_o partly_o bad_a we_o must_v do_v something_o to_o make_v ourselves_o good_a before_o god_n which_o be_v the_o great_a abomination_n antichrist_n that_o antichrist_n
