A91475	Good tydings for sinners, great ioy for saints; or, A word to the world, and two to those that are chosen out of the world. Wherein is held forth, first, the sweet tenders of grace from the father through the son to all dejected sinners; he invites them, he woes them, he intreats them, nay, he beseecheth them to accept of mercy. In the second part of this book, called, Two words to those chosen out of the world, is spoken to the saints under their severall forms, taking notice first of the things commendable in them: and in the second place reproving them for things amisse among them. With a short prophesie of the downfall of presbyterie, independencie, anabaptismie, vaine notions, free-will. With a brief description of a true church-state, against which the gates of Hell shall not prevaile; it being founded upon a rock, it will stand against all waves and storms, that either men or devils can raise against it. I will give you all one heart, and one way. Then the Lord shall be one, and his name one. / Robert Purnell.

time_n in_o speak_v evil_a of_o almost_o all_o other_o christian_n that_o walk_v not_o by_o your_o rule_n and_o hold_v not_o to_o your_o error_n you_o backbite_v and_o reproach_v they_o with_o that_o bitterness_n of_o spirit_n as_o be_v more_o suitable_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o heathen_n than_o of_o christian_n i_o will_v forbear_v to_o speak_v the_o one_o half_a of_o what_o i_o have_v be_v a_o eye_n witness_n unto_o of_o this_o kind_n in_o that_o little_a time_n when_o i_o be_v among_o you_o you_o spend_v your_o time_n to_o spy_v a_o mote_n in_o your_o brother_n eye_n but_o when_o will_v you_o pull_v the_o beam_n out_o of_o your_o own_o eye_n again_o you_o hold_v that_o a_o man_n may_v fall_v from_o christ_n or_o grace_n you_o have_v often_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n to_o day_n and_o a_o limb_n of_o satan_n to_o morrow_n that_o he_o stand_v by_o obedience_n and_o not_o by_o grace_n when_o he_o do_v well_o he_o be_v accept_v when_o he_o do_v ill_o be_v be_v reject_v and_o so_o by_o your_o error_n our_o salvation_n seem_v to_o depend_v upon_o work_n and_o so_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n be_v nullify_v and_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n make_v of_o none_o effect_n and_o in_o effect_v you_o plain_o deny_v christ_n in_o a_o word_n you_o hold_v more_o foolish_a sottish_a unsound_a unwarrantable_a and_o uncomfortable_a point_n than_o any_o sect_n and_o your_o conversation_n be_v just_a answerable_a to_o your_o principle_n so_o join_v both_o together_o and_o behold_v their_o ill_a shape_a form_n and_o fruit_n 1._o by_o they_o both_o you_o dishonour_v god_n 2._o you_o grieve_v his_o people_n 3._o you_o delude_v the_o world_n 4._o you_o cause_v the_o way_n of_o truth_n to_o be_v evil_a speak_v of_o remember_v
