A47400 A discovery of some troublesome thoughts Wherewith many godly precious souls are burthened, and extreamly pressed: that like a canker eats out all their comforts, and keeps their souls under continuall fears and distractions. Together with a compound of some Scripture and experimentall cordials, for the refreshing of those who are sick of such a disease; and through the blessing of God, may prove medicinall, to the cure of some, and the comforting of others. By Daniel King, preacher of the Word. King, Daniel, preacher near Coventry. 1651 (1651) Wing K489; ESTC R216092 52,316 69

god_n you_o that_o have_v be_v so_o intimate_a with_o christ_n that_o have_v have_v so_o much_o experience_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o after_o three_o day_n i_o shall_v rise_v
