A85140	The heart opened by Christ; or, The conditions of a troubled soul that could find no true rest, peace, comfort, nor satisfaction in any thing below the divine power and glory of God, breaking forth and appearing in several operations and manifestations, by the blessed spirit of the Lord Jesus, the Saviour of the soul, God manifesting himself in flesh, that he may glorified in spirit. With, a word to those that are for the approbation of ministers; and something to those that scruple about the receiving or not receiving that which they call a sacrament and communion of saints, at Easter, Penticost, Christmas, so called, and other festival and set daies, or any other time when it is to be administered by those priests that profess themselves to be ministers of Christ. Written in the year 1654. in the third moneth, commonly called May, by R.F.	R. F. (Richard Farnworth), d. 1666.	1654 (1654)	Wing F485; Thomason E745_7; ESTC R207062	17,335	24

i_o live_v a_o highpriest_n who_o have_v be_v a_o captain_n in_o the_o army_n and_o examine_v i_o about_o it_o near_o unto_o a_o house_n and_o i_o do_v consent_n to_o receive_v it_o at_o his_o hand_n

of_o though_o i_o do_v then_o little_a experience_n what_o i_o say_v but_o think_v it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o talk_v and_o discourse_n of_o thing_n and_o rest_n in_o the_o outward_a knowledge_n of_o

of_o saint_n but_o be_v not_o i_o say_v before_o the_o time_n come_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v give_v and_o i_o to_o receive_v it_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n in_o i_o and_o great_a preparation_n
