A56437	A tryal of faith wherein, is discovered the ground of the faith of the hypocrite, which perisheth, and the faith of the saints, which is founded upon the everlasting rock, so all may see what their faith is, and what they trust to : written to the intent that every one may come to the true searcher of faith, that their faith which they speak of and trust to, may be searched, and the heart of the pharisee ript open and searched, and that the poor ignorant blind creatures may come to see and be deceived no longer intrusting to that which perisheth : verily it is of much concernment to every one, even the soul, the tryal of your faith / written from the spirit of the Lord, and published for the good of all, that they may come to build upon the everlasting rock, with him whose name according to the world is James Parnell.	Parnell, James, 1637?-1656.	1654 (1654)	Wing P535; ESTC R6742	4,855	8

wisdom_n and_o all_o you_o wilful_a blind_a carnal_a ignorant_a creature_n who_o my_o soul_n pity_v to_o see_v how_o ignorant_o you_o be_v lead_v who_o pin_n your_o faith_n upon_o the_o sleeve_n of_o
