A96143 The judgement set, and the bookes opened. Religion tried whether it be of God or of men. The Lord cometh to visit his own, for the time is come that judgement must begin at the house of God. To separate the sheep from the goats. and the precious from the vile. And to discover the blasphemy of those that say, they are apostles, teachers, alive, rich, Jewes, but are found lyars. Deceivers. Dead. Poore, blind, naked. The synagogue of Satan. In severall sermons at Alhallows Lumbard-street, by John Webster, a servant of Christ and his church. Webster, John, 1610-1682. 1654 (1654) Wing W1210; Thomason E805_13; ESTC R207390 257,953 337

the_o gospel_n bring_v light_a but_o man_n resist_v it_o &_o hate_v it_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o every_o creature_n for_o he_o be_v the_o true_a light_n that_o

for_o sure_o i_o be_o the_o one_o agree_v more_o with_o your_o way_n then_o the_o other_o but_o now_o to_o my_o second_o question_n do_v ever_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n persecute_v and_o hate_v

to_o all_o these_o devilish_a deceit_n that_o your_o soul_n may_v come_v to_o live_v in_o he_o who_o be_v truth_n itself_o and_o then_o you_o will_v not_o only_o be_v professor_n but_o possessor_n
