A97271	A touch-stone to try (by our knowledge, belief, and life) whether we be Christians in name onely, or Christians in deed. Or, The character of a true beleever, that walks in some measure answerable to the gospell, his Christian profession, and the millions of mercies he hath received. / By R.Y. of Roxwell in Essex.

to_o be_v the_o world_n friend_n be_v to_o be_v god_n enemy_n yea_o he_o esteem_v it_o a_o honour_n to_o be_v evil_a speak_v of_o by_o evil_a man_n because_o when_o a_o thing_n be_v best_o they_o
