A13024	The Christians sacrifice much better then all the legall sacrifices of the Iewes; and without the which, all the said legall sacrifices of the Iewes, euen when they were in force, were not acceptable to God. Or, a logicall and theologicall exposition of the two first verses of the twelfth to the Romanes, with all the doctrine in the said two verses, plainly laid forth, and fitly applied according as these times do require the same. Wherein also besides the orthodoxall exposition of the said words, diuers other places of Scripture by the way occurring, before somewhat obscure, are so naturally interpreted, as that the iudicious reader shall thinke his paines well bestowed in vouchsafing to reade this treatise following. With the authors postscript to his children, as it were his last will and testament vnto them.	Stoughton, Thomas.	1622 (1622)	STC 23314; ESTC S100120	224,816	288

god_n mercy_n go_v together_o i_o speak_v only_o of_o his_o mercy_n for_o the_o life_n to_o come_v i_o have_v now_o speak_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o this_o life_n which_o be_v give_v more_o in_o

in_o the_o singular_a number_n although_o therefore_o all_o god_n common_a mercy_n for_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o accompany_v salvation_n do_v go_v together_o so_o that_o where_o there_o be_v one_o there_o be_v all_o yet_o i_o say_v also_o before_o that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v give_v in_o several_a measure_n touch_v the_o particular_n knowledge_n faith_n hope_n love_n patience_n
