A26941	The invaluable price of an immortal soul shewing the vanity of most people in taking care for the body, but neglect their duty as to the preservation of their never-dying souls : with advice to secure sinners to examine themselves before it be too late, that when death shall come to separate their souls from their bodies, they may be in a condition to welcome death for that happy change which all prepared Christians will ever rejoyce in : very necessary for all people to read and consider who would willingly be accounted true Christians : with large admonition to prayer as a duty most incumbant upon all who desire to obtain everlasting life through Christ Jesus.	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1681 (1681)	Wing B1287; ESTC R25867	7,221	26

sinful_a desire_n they_o have_v rather_o to_o live_v a_o brave_a jovial_a merry_a life_n like_o servant_n to_o sin_n than_o a_o sober_a serious_a and_o holy_a life_n like_o servant_n of_o god_n thus_o
