A45701	The Christians best garment: or, The putting on of the Lord Jesus Christ Wherein the absolute necessity, excellency, and usefulness of Christ, as a garment, to believing souls, is briefly open and applied. Secondly, the naked, miserable, lost, and undone condition of all unbelievers, who have not put on this garment, discovered. Thirdly and lastly, some few brief, but powerful motives to perswade us to the putting on of this garment, with directions how to live to the glory of Christ here, that so we may live with Christ hereafter in glory. By a godly, able, and faithful servant of Jesus Christ.	Hart, John, D.D.	1664 (1664)	Wing H930; ESTC R216385	16,154	50

what_o christ_n do_v 1._o christ_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o garment_n consider_v what_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o best_a of_o we_o be_v but_o as_o st._n john_n say_v rev._n 3.17_o empty_a

64.6_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o by_o nature_n poor_a and_o blind_a miserable_a and_o naked_a till_o christ_n appear_v in_o we_o thereupon_o the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o phil._n 3.8_o 9_o desire_n so_o

16_o 8._o and_o to_o illustrate_v this_o a_o little_a i_o shall_v here_o take_v occasion_n to_o show_v you_o wherein_o christ_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o garment_n by_o give_v you_o the_o
