A03311	Truths purchase: or A commoditie, which no man may either neglect to buie, or dare to sell laid forth in two sermons vpon Prov.23.23. by Samuel Hieron minister of the word, at Modburie in Deuon. Very necessary for the times, in which so few seeke after the truth, and so many fall away from the profession and practise of the truth.

to_o the_o truth_n of_o these_o two_o in_o order_n and_o first_o of_o buy_v the_o knowedge_n of_o the_o truth_n see_v it_o have_v please_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o this_o place_n to_o borrow_v
