A27605	The general inefficacy and insincerity of a late or death-bed repentance with earnestest disswasives from committing our eternal condition, to that infinite hazard, and a full resolution of the case, how far a death-bed repentance is possible, to be sincere and effectual.	Beverley, Thomas.	1670 (1670)	Wing B2147; ESTC R18995	57,818	104
