Applied (as it was specially intended) for the better information of our judgements, and quickning of our affections in holiness, wherein our everlasting our everlasting happiness chiefly consisteth. / Preached in the weekly lecture at Evesham in the county of Worcester, by George Hopkins, M.A. minister of the Gospel there.; Salvation from sinne by Jesus Christ Hopkins, George, 1620-1666. 1655 (1655) Wing H2743; Thomason E1608_1; ESTC R208454 135,124 325

the_o gospel_n that_o shine_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n mat._n 5.16_o let_v your_o light_n so_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o may_v see_v your_o good_a work_n and_o glorify_v your_o

in_o the_o head_n there_o be_v less_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n and_o light_n in_o the_o head_n will_v be_v but_o a_o aggravation_n of_o darkness_n in_o the_o heart_n the_o servant_n that_o

the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n or_o not_o there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o wander_a light_n in_o the_o night_n season_n which_o ignorant_a people_n call_v by_o divers_a name_n but_o philosopher_n call_v it_o ignis_fw-la fatuus_fw-la fool_n fire_n because_o ignorant_a and_o foolish_a people_n when_o they_o see_v it_o wonder_n and_o be_v amaze_v at_o it_o and_o be_v lead_v by_o it_o out_o of_o their_o

that_o those_o that_o live_v under_o the_o law_n do_v not_o so_o clear_o understand_v the_o promise_n of_o grace_n but_o be_v more_o plentiful_o threaten_v with_o judgement_n it_o be_v true_a 1._o
