A90395	Severall fresh inward openings, (concerning severall things) which the day will declare of what nature they are, to which judgment they appeal for justice, being contented either to stand or fall by it: and being likewise ready to kiss that condemnation, which they are likely to meet with in the mean time, from all sorts of men, whom they finde ready to deal hardly with them. / Through Isaac Penington, (junior) Esq;	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1650 (1650)	Wing P1189; Thomason E608_2; ESTC R205900	38,872	56

for_o his_o own_o day_n and_o so_o thou_o can_v not_o discern_v the_o true_a nature_n and_o state_n of_o thing_n what_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o what_o force_v there_o be_v from_o without_o thou_o can_v not_o see_v how_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o heart_n nor_o how_o they_o come_v forth_o from_o the_o heart_n all_o which_o must_v be_v thorough_o see_v and_o due_o weigh_v before_o righteous_a judgement_n can_v be_v pass_v therefore_o the_o lord_n know_v how_o unfit_a man_n be_v for_o this_o work_n have_v forbid_v he_o it_o have_v bind_v he_o up_o very_o close_a leave_v he_o
