A10931	Certaine sermons preached and penned by Richard Rogers preacher of Weathersfield in Essex, directly tending to these three ends. First, to bring any bad person (that hath not committed the sinne that is vnpardonable) to true conuersion. Secondly, to stablish and settle all such as are conuerted, in faith and repentance. Thirdly, to leade them forward (that are so setled) in the Christian life, to bring foorth the fruite of both. Whereunto are annexed diuers godlie and learned sermons of another reuerend and faithfull seruant of God, Mr. Samuel Wright, Bachelor of Diuinitie, late president of Sidney Colledge in Camebridge, deceased, tending also to the same ends, with diuers particular points in both, profitable and fit for these times.	Rogers, Richard, 1550?-1618.; Wright, Samuel, d. ca. 1612. aut	1612 (1612)	STC 21203; ESTC S116121	188,868	230

such_o a_o liberal_a offer_n thus_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n in_o which_o any_o difficulty_n lie_v be_v clear_a it_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v what_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o whole_a verse_n

that_o thirst_n and_o to_o no_o other_o for_o so_o be_v the_o word_n ho_o every_o one_o that_o thirst_v come_v second_o what_o he_o offer_v to_o they_o even_o whatsoever_o good_a thing_n will_v

that_o the_o lord_n require_v of_o they_o by_o the_o prophet_n thirsty_a to_o speak_v of_o these_o three_o point_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o order_n and_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o profit_v in_o the_o school_n of_o christ_n and_o a_o token_n of_o god_n love_n to_o thirst_v and_o earnest_o to_o long_o after_o heavenly_a thing_n as_o

8.2_o or_o who_o among_o many_o may_v have_v be_v like_o to_o be_v reject_v rather_o than_o paul_n himself_o 1.15_o who_o be_v a_o persecutor_n a_o oppressor_n and_o a_o blasphemer_n likewise_o the_o
