A13547	The parable of the sovver and of the seed Declaring in foure seuerall grounds, among other things: 1. How farre an hypocrite may goe in the way towards heauen, and wherein the sound Christian goeth beyond him. And 2. In the last and best ground, largely discourseth of a good heart, describing it by very many signes of it, digested into a familiar method: which of it selfe is an entire treatise. And also, 3. From the constant fruit of the good ground, iustifieth the doctrine of the perseuerance of saints: oppugneth the fifth article of the late Arminians; and shortly and plainly answereth their most colourable arguments and euasions. By Thomas Taylor, late fellow of Christs Colledge in Cambridge, and preacher of the Word of God, at Reding in Bark-shire.	Taylor, Thomas, 1576-1632.	1621 (1621)	STC 23840; ESTC S118185	284,009	494

experimental_a knowledge_n far_o pass_v the_o theory_n and_o be_v the_o knowledge_n but_o of_o a_o few_o 2._o a_o hypocrite_n may_v know_v in_o general_a that_o christ_n be_v a_o redeemer_n and_o

the_o judgement_n of_o certainty_n he_o die_v not_o for_o all_o and_o every_o one_o now_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o argument_n appear_v evident_o that_o because_o some_o fall_n away_o for_o who_o

that_o be_v enlighten_v fall_v away_o but_o this_o be_v of_o knowledge_n in_o judgement_n not_o in_o affection_n of_o knowledge_n in_o the_o brain_n not_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o bare_a illumination_n without_o thorow-renovation_a or_o reformation_n of_o science_n without_o conscience_n experience_n practice_n what_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o knowledge_n have_v demas_n judas_n and_o julian_n
