Written, to stop the mouth of clamour, and to inform all who desire to know the truth as it is in Jesus; by the servant of the Lord, John Crook. To which is added, somewhat concerning the difference between the perswasions of reason, and the perswasions of faith.

we_o or_o impute_v unto_o we_o not_o by_o the_o creature_o skill_n but_o by_o the_o applicatory_a act_n of_o god_n gift_n of_o grace_n whereby_o the_o soul_n feel_v the_o difference_n between_o
