A26938	How far holinesse is the design of Christianity where the nature of holiness and morality is opened, and the doctrine of justification, imputation of sin and righteousness, &c. partly cleared, and vindicated from abuse : in certain propositions, returned to an unknown person, referring to Mr. Fowlers treatise on this subject / by Richard Baxter.	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1671 (1671)	Wing B1282; ESTC R6861	14,037	25

in_o all_o that_o have_v the_o thing_n though_o it_o be_v to_o be_v no_o more_o wonder_v at_o than_o that_o man_n who_o have_v intellect_n and_o will_n and_o vital_a power_n be_v so_o much_o perplex_v
