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

love_n for_o christ_n love_n to_o they_o cause_v their_o love_n to_o return_v to_o he_o and_o they_o love_n christ_n also_o in_o the_o saint_n these_o love_n be_v the_o saint_n feast_n they_o live_v
