A58146	Blessedness, or, God and the world weighted in the balances of the sanctuary and the world found too light preached in a sermon at Paule, before the Right Honourable the Lord Major, Aldermen, and commonalty of the city of London, on a thanksgiving-day, for the prosperity of our navy in a conflict with the Spaniard, October 17, 1656 / by Francis Raworth ...

to_o the_o double_a blessedness_n in_o it_o one_o interpretation_n propose_v it_o by_o way_n of_o competition_n bless_a be_v the_o people_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o case_n that_o be_v while_o

stand_v up_o as_o offend_v with_o this_o vote_n and_o verdict_n how_o now_o be_v this_o true_a blessedness_n to_o enjoy_v the_o shell_n without_o the_o kernel_n the_o ring_n without_o the_o jewel_n to_o live_v like_o a_o beast_n and_o die_v like_o a_o dog_n and_o have_v no_o portion_n in_o god_n afterward_o to_o be_v damn_v like_o a_o devil_n no_o no_o say_v the_o prophet_n this_o be_v a_o
