A95864	A sermon preached to the Honorable House of Commons; at their late solemne fast, December, 28. Wherein is described 1. The church her patience: 2. Her hope. In the exercise of both which graces, she is enabled to waite upon God in the way of his judgements: in which divers cases are propounded and resolved. That the soul sick of love, doth with more difficulty endure the absence of Christ, then the present evils of this world. By Thomas Valentine, Rector of Chalfont in Buckinghamshire. Published by order of that House.	Valentine, Thomas, 1585 or 6-1665?	1643 (1643)	Wing V26; Thomason E86_32; ESTC R12382	44,658	51

a_o time_n of_o absence_n so_o do_v christ_n and_o his_o church_n the_o father_n and_o his_o prodigal_a son_n make_v not_o more_o merry_a the_o bridegroom_n and_o the_o bride_n rejoice_v not_o more_o

of_o a_o physician_n know_v the_o disease_n and_o by_o the_o operation_n of_o his_o medicine_n he_o still_o be_v confirm_v in_o his_o knowledge_n for_o if_o hot_a thing_n do_v good_a than_o he_o
