A86423	A treatise containing three things. Viz. [3 braces] 1. A discovery of the unsupportable burthen of sinne, to a heart that is saint-like sensible of sin. 2. The restlesse resolution of a soule to returne to God, who is saint-like sensible of his withdrawings. 3. A discovery of the sweet and unexpected entertainment that wandring hearts meet with in their returnes to God. / Written by Lieutenant Collonel Paul Hobson.

be_v punish_v for_o all_o his_o prosecute_n do_v but_o pierce_v into_o his_o own_o spirit_n and_o all_o his_o stir_n do_v but_o rouse_v up_o guilt_n in_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o all_o his_o rub_n

close_a of_o this_o remember_v but_o this_o scripture_n prov._n the_o 28._o and_o the_o first_o verse_n the_o wicked_a fly_n when_o no_o man_n pursue_v but_o the_o righteous_a be_v as_o bold_a as_o
