A61227	Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain he heapeth up riches and knoweth not who shall gather them, Psal.39.6.	Stafford, Richard, 1663-1703.	1700 (1700)	Wing S5142; ESTC R221820	22,526	32

truth_n and_o consider_v in_o my_o mind_n the_o exceed_a preciousness_n and_o necessity_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o order_n to_o bring_v other_o and_o myself_o unto_o eternal_a life_n it_o be_v equal_o
