A95869	Christ and the Church: or Parallels, in three books. In the first ye have the harmony between Christ and the foregoing types, by which he was fore-shadowed in the Old Testament, both persons and things. In the second the agreement between Christ and other things, to which he is compared in the holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament. In the third the agreement between the Church and the types, by which it was foreshadowed in the Old Testament; and other resemblances, by which it is set forth in the holy Scriptures. By Henry Vertue, M.A. rector of Alhallows Hony-lane.	Vertue, Henry, d. 1660.	1659 (1659)	Wing V274; Thomason E975_1; ESTC R203902	335,049	439

no_o more_o think_v we_o be_v it_o not_o much_o more_o persuasive_a to_o have_v god_n himself_o speak_v then_o only_o to_o read_v what_o be_v write_v from_o he_o and_o who_o desire_v not_o more_o to_o
