A60643	The morning-watch, or, A spiritual glass opened wherin a clear discovery is made of that which lies in darknesse, from whence wars, contentions, and destructions do arise concerning a professed religion, with a few words of tender counsel unto the Pope, prelate, presbyter, independent & baptist, &c. ... / by ...

yet_o they_o neither_o know_v god_n nor_o christ_n nor_o the_o place_n where_o they_o say_v he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o upon_o confession_n make_v of_o this_o belief_n and_o
