A67066	The leper, and the leper's house, cleansed being, an exposition upon some part of the XIVth chapter of Leviticus; the mystery of which is explained and applied to the state and condition of a sinner's becoming a saint. With profitable uses and applications. As also, what chapter may be applied to, as to the cleansing or destroying of any particular church of Christ, in and under the time of the gospel. Divided into ten parts. Written for the information of those which seldom concern themselves about the types and shadows of the Old Testament: very useful for all people. By Thomas Worden, author of, The types unvailed.	Worden, Thomas.	1695 (1695)	Wing W3578; ESTC R218033	86,936	103

i_o do_v well_o to_o be_v angry_a to_o death_n but_o rather_o to_o say_v with_o david_n psal_n 119._o 75._o in_o faithfulness_n have_v thou_o afflict_v i_o and_o instead_o of_o mutter_v at_o the_o

must_v be_v the_o strong_a in_o the_o medicine_n to_o work_v it_o forth_o again_o christ_n have_v rather_o his_o people_n shall_v be_v preserve_v in_o brine_n than_o rot_v in_o honey_n and_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o this_o that_o when_o christ_n by_o his_o rod_n have_v do_v his_o work_n upon_o you_o then_o may_v you_o expect_v the_o removal_n of_o it_o from_o you_o isa_n 4._o 4_o 5._o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v wash_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o daughter_n of_o zion_n then_o will_v be_v create_v upon_o the_o dwelling-place_n thereof_o a_o cloud_n and_o a_o smoke_n by_o
