A67764 Preparation to conversion, or, Faith's harbinger in a rare epistle, writ by a person of quality before his death, to his surviving friends, shewing, that Satan prevails most by deception of our reason, that the beauty of holiness and true wisdom is unseen to the world, that ingrateful persons are as witless as wicked, why most men hear the Gospel year after year, and are never the better, with wholsom instruction, to prevent destruction : all richly fraught with choise and pithy sentences, similitudes, examples, metaphors, rhetorical and pointed expressions, which being thought by many worth the transcribing at no small charge, is now committed to the press / by R. Young ... Younge, Richard. 1658 (1658) Wing Y176; ESTC R39195 18,400 18

a_o restern_a for_o a_o shilling_n and_o not_o he_o alone_o shall_v suffer_v but_o all_o these_o churchman_n say_v you_o be_v so_o covetous_a that_o they_o never_o think_v they_o have_v enough_o when_o they_o have_v scarce_o enough_o to_o fill_v the_o belly_n of_o their_o own_o family_n all_o which_o not_o only_o argue_v you_o as_o brainless_a as_o beast_n but_o prove_v you_o to_o be_v as_o

man_n as_o homer_n relate_v and_o to_o speak_v right_o we_o need_v say_v no_o more_o of_o a_o man_n then_o he_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o his_o faithful_a pastor_n that_o be_v enough_o to_o brand_v he_o
