A78561	A tender salutation: or, loving epistle to such, who have a breathing in the innocent life of my friends with whom I walked in the outward observances. Also, for my relations (after the flesh) with all others professing God, and that have any breathings after the truth in the inward parts. Wherein something is declared in the power and light of God, concerning the sure foundation, and the house of God, with the inward glory, government, cloathing, feeding, non-superiority, and safety, that is in Gods habitation. With a word to the weak to establish them, that they faint not at the appearances of outward trouble for their consciences. - Whereunto is annexed a further discovery of God to my soul, concerning the spiritual temple, tabernacle and ark of Gods testimony, being the truth, life, and substance of the temple, tabernacle and ark of the testimony under the legal day. - To be read in the light, which discovers the things that be of God. -	Chandler, Jacob.	1664 (1664)	Wing C1927A; ESTC R227552	24,960	33

take_v up_o in_o the_o outward_a observance_n and_o less_o mind_n this_o inward_a feed_n this_o inward_a drink_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o water_n of_o life_n oh_o friend_n this_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v well_o mind_v and_o weigh_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o equity_n of_o god_n now_o there_o be_v many_o a_o poor_a soul_n more_o a_o mind_v the_o outward_a observance_n than_o the_o inward_a virtue_n

10.6_o 7_o 8._o therefore_o friend_n look_v not_o so_o much_o at_o the_o outward_a observation_n for_o christ_n if_o that_o be_v it_o thou_o be_v in_o good_a earnest_n desirous_a to_o have_v as_o to_o
