A13823	The revvard of religion Deliuered in sundrie lectures vpon the booke of Ruth, wherein the godly may see their daily and outwarde tryals, with the presence of God to assist them, and his mercies to recompence them: verie profitable for this present time of dearth, wherein manye are most pittifully tormented with want; and also worthie to bee considered in this golden age of the preaching of the word, when some vomit vp the loathsomnes therof, and others fall away to damnable securitie.

who_o they_o know_v to_o be_v godly_a but_o the_o wicked_a they_o think_v unworthy_a of_o reverence_n because_o our_o saviour_n will_v do_v none_o to_o herod_n or_o pilate_n paul_n to_o the_o high_a

we_o must_v with_o abraham_n bend_v as_o well_o to_o the_o idolatrous_a hebron_n as_o with_o bathshebah_n to_o godly_a david_n if_o they_o receive_v more_o than_o they_o be_v worthy_a it_o be_v not_o

and_o how_o do_v he_o desire_v to_o plead_v with_o god_n about_o his_o affliction_n &_o curse_v the_o day_n and_o hour_n of_o his_o death_n our_o saviour_n will_v never_o have_v warn_v we_o that_o
