A47081	Mercy triumphing over judgement or, A warning for Sabbath-breakers Published for Gods glory and the benefit of all true Christians. By me Thomas Jones, of the City of Hereford. Who for prophaning the Lords Day was [m]ost miraculously strucken by the hand of God, and ut[te]rly depriv'd of all my senses, for the space of 4 years; [an]d now by his great mercy (upon my hearty repen[ta]nce) being perfectly restored to my former health, I [w]as moved to set forth this ensuing relation, as a testi[m]ony of my thankfulnesse to God for his fatherly [ch]astisement; and that all others by my example, may [b]e deterred from so hainous an offence as Sabbath-breaking.	Jones, Thomas, of Hereford.	1641 (1641)	Wing J993A; ESTC S103195	21,118	49

though they loathsome are to mortall eyes Within this world their shame and sorrow dyes But man who sins on earth continually Death shall not end his shame nor misery Then doth his woe begin for whom I pray Although they scorne and hate what now I say Then shall he know that God caus'd me to write The Sabbaths praise his gift or Trades-mans Mite Then shall proud gallants wish would they had bin As
