A67066	The leper, and the leper's house, cleansed being, an exposition upon some part of the XIVth chapter of Leviticus; the mystery of which is explained and applied to the state and condition of a sinner's becoming a saint. With profitable uses and applications. As also, what chapter may be applied to, as to the cleansing or destroying of any particular church of Christ, in and under the time of the gospel. Divided into ten parts. Written for the information of those which seldom concern themselves about the types and shadows of the Old Testament: very useful for all people. By Thomas Worden, author of, The types unvailed.	Worden, Thomas.	1695 (1695)	Wing W3578; ESTC R218033	86,936	103

can_v not_o imagine_v to_o obtain_v it_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o any_o who_o god_n have_v not_o appoint_v to_o administer_v it_o but_o god_n never_o appoint_v any_o but_o their_o priest_n to_o be_v

the_o case_n of_o our_o spiritual_a leprosy_n it_o be_v only_a jesus_n christ_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o administer_v health_n and_o heal_n against_o it_o it_o be_v he_o alone_o that_o be_v
