A70812	The glasse of Gods providence towards his faithfvll ones held forth in a sermon preached to the two Houses of Parliament at Margarets Westminster, Aug. 13, 1644, being an extraordinary day of humiliation : wherein is discovered the great failings that the best are liable unto, upon which God is provoked sometimes to take vengeance : the whole is applyed specially to a more carefull observation of our late covenant, and particularly against the ungodly toleration pleaded for under pretence of liberty of conscience / by Herbert Palmer ...

when_o the_o church_n of_o god_n the_o church_n of_o the_o n._n t._n have_v a_o government_n and_o that_o within_o itself_o a_o ecclesiastical_a government_n and_o not_o mere_o civil_a from_o the_o

well_o to_o own_v what_o we_o find_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v from_o god_n as_o to_o receive_v it_o and_o set_v it_o up_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o hold_v it_o out_o and_o establish_v

it_o be_v indeed_o most_o dangerous_a to_o assert_v man_n invention_n to_o be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la or_o necessary_a but_o it_o be_v also_o dangerous_a and_o sinful_a to_o make_v god_n

that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v act_v by_o those_o that_o you_o employ_v in_o divers_a place_n there_o be_v a_o great_a cry_n of_o this_o how_o true_o and_o just_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o say_v but_o

of_o oppression_n and_o violent_a pervert_n of_o judgement_n and_o justice_n in_o a_o province_n eccles._n 5._o 8._o and_o god_n oft_o say_v elsewhere_o that_o he_o do_v and_o will_v hear_v the_o
