A89447	A box of spikenard newly broken not so much for the preparation of the burial; as for the clearer illustration, and exornation of the birth and nativity of our blessed Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus. Contained in a short and sweet discourse which was at first hinted, and occasioned through a question propounded by R.B.P. de K. Which is now answered and resloved by T.M. P. de P.	Malpas, Thomas.	1659 (1659)	Wing M340; Thomason E2140_2; ESTC R208367	46,250	128

a_o day_n against_o he_o it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v object_v and_o say_v here_o as_o you_o do_v in_o your_o thirteen_o argument_n that_o god_n be_v in_o many_o place_n much_o dishonour_v by_o the_o
