Or, The resurrection of James the apostle, out of the grave of carnall glosses, for the correction of the universall apostacy, which cruelly buryed him who yet liveth. Appearing in the comely ornaments of his fifth chapter, in an exercise, June 4. 1654. Having laid by his grave clothes, in a despised village remote from England, but wishing well, and heartily desiring the true prosperity thereof.	Gorton, Samuel, 1592 or 3-1677.	1655 (1655)	Wing G1307; Thomason E836_1; ESTC R207426	178,733	220
