A65897	The case of such professors as have known the way of truth, and are turned aside from its holy testimony to save themselves, opened and lamented : with some wholsome warnings and admonitions, tending to restore and turn them again to the Lord, that they may be saved by him, both from the evil of sin and punishment.	Whitehead, John, 1630-1696.	1662 (1662)	Wing W1974; ESTC R21475	3,301	1

but_o with_o yearn_v bowel_n of_o love_n exhort_v you_o to_o search_v and_o try_v your_o way_n and_o turn_v again_o to_o the_o lord_n who_o will_v not_o your_o destruction_n but_o delight_n rather_o to_o pardon_v than_o punish_v you_o because_o he_o love_v you_o as_o his_o creature_n and_o as_o you_o return_v to_o the_o lord_n when_o you_o see_v briar_n and_o thorn_n grievous_a wolf_n and_o

make_v your_o way_n through_o they_o and_o you_o shall_v see_v all_o vanish_v as_o a_o shadow_n that_o stand_v in_o opposition_n to_o you_o in_o god_n work_n and_o way_n for_o the_o end_n of_o all_o
