A91779	Gemitus plebis: or A mournful complaint and supplication in behalf of the more weak and ignorant of the people of this nation. Drawn up for them by a friend, whose deep sense of his own ignorance and weakness, hath taught him to be compassionate towards all that labour under the same infirmities. / By C. Raie.

those_o that_o do_v oppose_v you_o upon_o this_o account_n that_o our_o child_n be_v holy_a be_v the_o offspring_n of_o believer_n and_o yet_o when_o we_o will_v come_v to_o present_v ourselves_o to_o
