A86422	Practicall divinity: or a helpe through the blessing of God to lead men more to look within themselves, and to unite experienced Christians in the bond and fellowship of the Spirit. / Delivered in sundry exercises lately spoken by Cap. Paul Hobson, upon these texts. Published by an hearty wellwiller to peace and unity among the dissenting godly, and to the promotion of spirituall and experimentall truths, without affectation of opinions, or prejudice against persons. Tending as to the edification of the reader chiefly : so also, somewhat in vindication of the authour.	Hobson, Paul.	1646 (1646)	Wing H2275; Thomason E1167_3; ESTC R208788	40,074	124

be_v all_o this_o cross_n in_o a_o presbiterian_a way_n and_o cross_n in_o a_o independent_a way_n and_o why_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o our_o spirit_n be_v not_o lay_v level_v to_o all_o
