A30835	An epistle to Friends shewing the great difference between a convinced estate and a converted estate, and between the profession of the truth, and the possession thereof : with the comfort and sweetness to the soul it affordeth : with a few words of good counsel and wholesome advice both to parents and their children / by one that travails for Sion's prosperity, known by the name of John Banks.	Banks, John, 1637-1710.	1693 (1693)	Wing B652A; ESTC R22805	14,665	20

as_o much_o concern_v in_o faithfulness_n to_o god_n and_o for_o the_o good_a of_o their_o own_o soul_n in_o order_n to_o win_v heaven_n and_o the_o s●lvation_n thereof_o as_o they_o be_v concern_v for_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o heap_v up_o riches_n they_o know_v not_o for_o who_o well_o may_v it_o be_v with_o many_o as_o to_o their_o eternal_a happiness_n but_o be_v that_o such_o be_v many_o time_n more_o concern_v for_o the_o assurance_n of_o the_o terrestrial_a than_o the_o celestial_a viz._n more_o for_o the_o earthly_a than_o the_o heavenly_a hence_o it_o be_v that_o although_o such_o profess_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n among_o his_o people_n they_o grow_v very_o indifferent_a about_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o for_o they_o can_v scarce_o find_v any_o time_n to_o come_v to_o meeting_n but_o on_o the_o first_o day_n what_o differ_v these_o from_o the_o professor_n and_o profane_a in_o the_o world_n let_v such_o say_v so_o to_o themselves_o and_o amend_v

and_o sleepy_a in_o meeting_n which_o show_v forth_o the_o coldness_n of_o their_o love_n to_o god-ward_o his_o truth_n and_o people_n and_o worthy_a name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o how_o unconcerned_a they_o be_v for_o the_o management_n of_o the_o affair_n and_o concern_v of_o truth_n in_o man_n and_o woman_n meeting_n and_o neglect_v week-day-meeting_n and_o yet_o none_o ready_a than_o such_o
