A96143	The judgement set, and the bookes opened. Religion tried whether it be of God or of men. The Lord cometh to visit his own, for the time is come that judgement must begin at the house of God. To separate the sheep from the goats. and the precious from the vile. And to discover the blasphemy of those that say, they are apostles, teachers, alive, rich, Jewes, but are found lyars. Deceivers. Dead. Poore, blind, naked. The synagogue of Satan. In severall sermons at Alhallows Lumbard-street, by John Webster, a servant of Christ and his church.	Webster, John, 1610-1682.	1654 (1654)	Wing W1210; Thomason E805_13; ESTC R207390	257,953	337

the_o light_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n in_o the_o night_n there_o be_v a_o fire_n and_o in_o the_o day_n a_o cloud_n now_o i_o say_v when_o the_o fire_n shine_v all_o thing_n be_v dark_a round_o

all_o thing_n else_o be_v not_o darkness_n thou_o never_o yet_o discover_v this_o light_n to_o this_o soul_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o whole_a creation_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v glorious_a and_o excellent_a but_o when_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n in_o he_o have_v shine_v upon_o it_o than_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v all_o darkness_n when_o the_o light_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n shine_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n than_o riches_n honour_n pleasure_n preferment_n all_o thing_n below_o god_n be_v darkness_n then_o the_o light_n of_o his_o reason_n wit_n morality_n and_o holy_a

whether_o this_o way_n of_o man_n do_v not_o set_v he_o at_o a_o far_a distance_n from_o his_o true_a rest_n for_o if_o man_n think_v he_o can_v come_v to_o christ_n by_o any_o thing_n of_o himself_o by_o any_o religious_a action_n and_o performance_n then_o from_o this_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o he_o see_v not_o his_o own_o weakness_n nor_o wickedness_n nor_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n nor_o wickedness_n nor_o misery_n make_v manifest_a unto_o he_o and_o he_o make_v lie_v his_o refuge_n 22.15_o esa_n 22.15_o and_o under_o falsehood_n he_o have_v hide_v himself_o and_o draw_v way_n

2.13_o so_o that_o second_o this_o will_v follow_v that_o this_o man_n have_v make_v a_o rock_n to_o stay_v himself_o upon_o for_o if_o thou_o think_v that_o thy_o action_n and_o performance_n will_v

now_o when_o the_o soul_n have_v make_v experiment_n of_o this_o in_o itself_o to_o find_v see_v and_o feel_v it_o real_o in_o his_o own_o heart_n that_o no_o hand_n draw_v to_o the_o father_n but_o
