Or, The saints assurance gotten, and to be had in this life, by the several means specified in this tract upon I Pet. 1.9.

Fitted for all such gracious souls as do most heartily desire to see the death of their strong and mighty corruptions, & a thorow [sic] victory gotten over this vile and troublesome world.
