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

again_o another_o ground_n why_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n come_v not_o to_o christ_n reas_n 3_o be_v because_o the_o appear_v of_o christ_n in_o the_o spirit_n make_v all_o the_o hide_a thing_n of_o

in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o appearance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n all_o this_o be_v discover_v and_o lay_v open_a therefore_o man_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n come_v to_o christ_n because_o the_o appear_v

that_o lose_v his_o life_n shall_v find_v it_o 3.19_o job_n 2.4_o mat._n 10.39_o john_n 3.19_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o plain_o that_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n

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
