A90678	The Gospel nevv-creature; wherein the work of the spirit is opened, in awakening the soul; to the getting pardon of sin, and an interest in Jesus Christ; without which, it is undone to all eternity. Discovering the false refuges, and vain hopes for heaven, of ignorant and formal professors in this nation, tending to rouze them out of their carnal security, before it be too late. Whereunto is added, (by way of comfort, to all dejected soules) the tempestuous soul calmed by Jesus Christ. / By A. Palmer, preacher of the Gospel at Bourton on the Water in Gloucester-shire.	Palmer, Anthony, 1618?-1679.; Palmer, Anthony, 1618?-1679. Tempestuous soul calmed.	1658 (1658)	Wing P216; Thomason E1826_2; Thomason E1826_3; ESTC R209826	155,076	274

the_o 22._o verse_n viz._n for_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n which_o may_v further_o help_v on_o the_o conviction_n we_o have_v be_v upon_o the_o jew_n may_v object_v to_o the_o apostle_n thus_o you_o by_o your_o doctrine_n seem_v to_o conclude_v all_o under_o the_o law_n equal_o and_o under_o guilt_n you_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o we_o jew_n who_o have_v the_o law_n and_o

of_o christ_n convince_v that_o he_o or_o she_o be_v in_o as_o bad_a and_o damnable_a a_o condition_n as_o any_o great_a sinner_n in_o the_o world_n it_o may_v be_v a_o startle_a to_o they_o and_o a_o

more_o accept_v with_o christ_n nor_o in_o any_o near_a capacity_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n than_o the_o great_a sinner_n because_o one_o sin_n put_v a_o man_n under_o the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o
