A67687 The holy mourner. Or An earnest invitation to religious mourning in general with a large declaration of the divine comforts, and the blessed effects which attend the performance of it. But more particularly to mourning in private, for our own personal iniquities, and the publick crying sins of the nation. To which are added, forms of devotion fitted to that pious exercise. By Erasmus Warren, rector of Worlington in Suffolk. Warren, Erasmus. 1698 (1698) Wing W967; ESTC R218442 210,205 385

to_o god_n and_o baneful_a unto_o we_o that_o they_o expose_v we_o at_o once_o to_o temporal_a misery_n spiritual_a judgement_n and_o eternal_a punishment_n and_o therefore_o in_o this_o ordinance_n
