A86947 The mystery of Christ in us, with the mystery of the Father, Word, and holy Ghost or Spirit, opened also, the parable of the rich man's flocks and herds, and the poor man's ewe-lamb, explicated. Likewise, the way that Christ takes to undo a man, and take away his life. Together with a discovery of the neerness of Christs coming, and of those glorious things which are to be fulfilled in these later days. Set forth and published by Ed. Hide jun. Hyde, Edward, 1607-1659. 1651 (1651) Wing H3866; Thomason E1372_4; ESTC R209351 80,214 204

he_o while_o joseph_n make_v himself_o know_v to_o his_o brethren_n and_o he_o weep_v aloud_o and_o the_o egyptian_n and_o house_n of_o pharaoh_n hear_v and_o joseph_n say_v unto_o his_o brethren_n
