A86651	A lamentation for the scattered tribes, who are exiled into captivity, and are now mingled among the heathen, and are joyned to the oppressor, and refuses to return. Presented unto all the separated congregations, under what name or form soever, in love to the lost. Shewing, the difference betwixt them that were separated by the word of faith, and them who have separated themselves, in imitation from the letter: ... / By a servant of truth, and a friend to righteousness, who suffers with the seed, which is held in oppression, waiting and labouring for its return; called Francis Howgill.	Howgill, Francis, 1618-1669.	1656 (1656)	Wing H3170; Thomason E885_1; ESTC R204835	28,211	39

of_o christ_n die_v at_o jerusalem_n and_o of_o their_o report_n that_o know_v he_o and_o believe_v this_o you_o call_v it_o faith_n and_o so_o be_v one_o with_o the_o faith_n and_o hope_n which_o
