A13823	The revvard of religion Deliuered in sundrie lectures vpon the booke of Ruth, wherein the godly may see their daily and outwarde tryals, with the presence of God to assist them, and his mercies to recompence them: verie profitable for this present time of dearth, wherein manye are most pittifully tormented with want; and also worthie to bee considered in this golden age of the preaching of the word, when some vomit vp the loathsomnes therof, and others fall away to damnable securitie.	Topsell, Edward, 1572-1625?	1596 (1596)	STC 24127; ESTC S105980	250,925	363

she_o have_v forsake_v she_o own_o idolatrous_a people_n to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n common_a wealth_n yes_o very_o it_o be_v so_o then_o be_v it_o of_o faith_n or_o of_o work_n no_o work_v assure_o

of_o work_n therefore_o to_o conclude_v bohaz_n pray_v for_o such_o a_o reward_n as_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o all_o the_o faithful_a for_o as_o the_o sun_n look_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o

to_o all_o the_o world_n by_o the_o which_o it_o be_v most_o easy_a to_o be_v gather_v and_o do_v necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o sum_n drift_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o scripture_n depend_v upon_o
