A76271	A short relation or testimony of the working of the light of Christ in me, from my childhood, by one who is now a witness of the spirit of truth (whom the world cannot receive) which doth convince of sin, of righteousnesse and of judgment: and brings all things to rememberance, and shews me things to come, glory to the Lord for ever: / W:B:.	Bayly, William, d. 1675.	1659 (1659)	Wing B1537; ESTC R170480	14,195	12
