A29687	The crovvn & glory of Christianity, or, Holiness, the only way to happiness discovered in LVIII sermons from Heb. 12. 14, where you have the necessity, excellency, rarity, beauty and glory of holiness set forth, with the resolution of many weighty questions and cases, also motives and means to perfect holiness : with many other things of very high and great importance to all the sons and daughters of men, that had rather be blessed then cursed, saved then damned / by Thomas Brooks ...	Brooks, Thomas, 1608-1680.	1662 (1662)	Wing B4939; ESTC R36378	584,294	672

a_o use_n of_o trial_n and_o examination_n be_v it_o so_o that_o real_a holiness_n be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o happiness_n must_v man_n be_v holy_a on_o earth_n or_o else_o they_o shall_v never_o
