A71231	Enter into thy closet, or A method and order for private devotion A treatise endeavouring a plain discovery of the most spiritual and edifying course of reading, meditation, and prayer; and so, of self examination, humiliation, mortification, and such most necessary Christian duties, by which we sue out the pardon of our sins from Heaven, and maintain an holy converse with God. Together with particular perswasives thereunto, and helps therein.	Wettenhall, Edward, 1636-1713.	1666 (1666)	Wing W1495B; ESTC R217163	97,436	340

more_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n may_v be_v note_v but_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o exemplify_v the_o rule_n i_o proceed_v now_o to_o consider_v the_o gospel_n which_o also_o i_o be_o suppose_v to_o have_v read_v gospel_n john_n 1._o v._o 1_o to_o 15._o the_o scope_n and_o substance_n of_o this_o gospel_n seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v god_n ever_o with_o the_o
