A16543	The importunate begger for things necessary, or necessity, without deniall Or a treatise, wherein is shewed the lawfullnesse of praying absolutely for necessary temporall things, without doubting or wavering, and that the saints of God may and ought, as absolutely depend upon God, for their dayly bread, as they may for the pardon of their sinnes, and that the cause is in themselves, who doe not obtaine them. Whereunto is annexed an answer to Mr. Norrice his 5 arguments, which were framed against it, together with an answer to his Prosopopeia, wherein, as well the insufficiency of those arguments, as the deceitfullnesse of his collections, is plainely manifested by R.B.

wherefore_o lie_v thou_o upon_o thy_o face_n israel_n have_v sin_v oh_o then_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o once_o imagine_v with_o thyself_o that_o ever_o god_n do_v deprive_v thou_o of_o any_o
