A57939 A looking-glass for England wherein is shewn God's mercies and judgments on this sinful nation; with an earnest invitation to poor sinners to repentance: wherein is set forth the great folly and madness of forsaking Christ their redeemer, and neglecting the care of their immortal souls, and setting their cares upon the vanities of this world; ... with some hints of the present judgments that now hangs over our heads, which will suddenly fall on us, if we neglect to return our thanks to almighty God for our late deliverances, and the speedy reforming of our lives. To which is added, the great joy and comfort of the godly that have harkened to the voice of the Lord, and have fasted and prayed to God for his blessings, and given thanks for all mercies received. By Robert Russel, in Sussex. Russel, Robert, fl. 1692. 1696 (1696) Wing R2347H; ESTC R219970 10,107 25

day_n than_o they_o do_v any_o other_o day_n in_o the_o week_n and_o now_o i_o must_v take_v occasion_n to_o write_v something_o against_o a_o great_a evil_n that_o have_v of_o late_a year_n be_v do_v
