B02144	Seasonable thoughts of divine providence affording comfort to those who are in danger. Instruction to all that are delivered from the late sad visitation. Wherein we are inform'd whether our preservation be a fruit of God's special love, or of his common providence.	Chishull, John.	1666 (1666)	Wing C3903B; ESTC R176572	27,160	97

of_o danger_n and_o trouble_n and_o our_o preservation_n under_o it_o many_o man_n have_v some_o sense_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o time_n of_o great_a danger_n and_o seem_v to_o be_v affect_v with_o their_o deliverance_n but_o these_o be_v only_o make_v by_o some_o extraordinary_a providence_n these_o thing_n do_v not_o abide_v upon_o their_o spirit_n whereas_o a_o good_a man_n labour_v to_o keep_v all_o the_o impression_n that_o be_v make_v upon_o his_o heart_n either_o under_o affliction_n or_o by_o any_o mercy_n fresh_a and_o lively_a that_o so_o the_o frame_n of_o his_o heart_n may_v be_v better_v and_o that_o he_o may_v get_v a_o sound_n and_o good_a constitution_n of_o soul_n second_o there_o will_v be_v find_v in_o we_o a_o great_a care_n to_o
