A57428	The wonder of the world being a perfect relation of a young maid, about eighteen years of age, which hath not tasted of any food this two and fifty weeks ... : wherein is related the whole truth and no more, as it was taken from the mouth of the damsel and her mother, being a true account of her condition / written by Thomas Robins ...

righteousness_n oh_o what_o comfortable_a speech_n be_v here_o from_o the_o lord_n to_o poor_a sinner_n and_o as_o i_o may_v say_v why_o may_v not_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v the_o very_a same_o word_n to_o this_o damsel_n for_o true_o i_o do_v full_o believe_v that_o we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v a_o choose_a uessel_n of_o she_o and_o by_o god_n help_n i_o will_v do_v my_o best_a endeavour_n to_o lay_v it_o open_v unto_o you_o in_o these_o three_o condition_n and_o first_o of_o all_o as_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o 9_o verse_n say_v i_o have_v choose_v thou_o and_o not_o cast_v thou_o away_o for_o certain_o the_o lord_n have_v choose_v she_o for_o to_o work_v this_o great_a and_o wonderful_a work_n upon_o for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o have_v bring_v her_o body_n into_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o the_o like_a be_v never_o know_v or_o hear_v of_o before_o since_o the_o creation_n of_o man_n a_o body_n preserve_v with_o life_n and_o have_v not_o taste_v of_o any_o mortal_a food_n not_o of_o fifty_o week_n and_o some_o more_o and_o therein_o it_o make_v i_o the_o bold_a to_o say_v i_o do_v believe_v she_o be_v one_o of_o the_o lord_n choose_v uessel_n second_o she_o have_v her_o speech_n as_o perfect_v for_o any_o to_o understand_v as_o she_o have_v in_o the_o time_n of_o her_o health_n and_o speak_v very_o hearty_a consider_v her_o weak_a condition_n of_o body_n and_o three_o she_o have_v a_o far_o better_a and_o more_o perfect_a memory_n then_o former_o she_o have_v in_o the_o time_n of_o her_o health_n and_o especial_o in_o discourse_v of_o the_o scripture_n and_o these_o be_v my_o chief_a reason_n why_o i_o say_v that_o i_o do_v believe_v she_o be_v a_o choose_a vessel_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o indeed_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o if_o all_o the_o people_n be_v together_o and_o do_v all_o the_o best_a they_o can_v i_o mean_v all_o that_o have_v be_v with_o she_o and_o have_v see_v she_o in_o this_o condition_n i_o say_v if_o they_o all_o shall_v do_v the_o best_a they_o can_v they_o will_v have_v much_o ado_n to_o persuade_v some_o to_o believe_v no_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v some_o will_v rather_o give_v out_o some_o scornsin_n speech_n despise_v any_o one_o which_o will_v persuade_v they_o to_o believe_v it_o for_o truth_n but_o i_o desire_v such_o to_o look_v into_o the_o 13._o of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o about_o the_o 41._o verse_n and_o there_o you_o shall_v find_v what_o be_v speak_v concern_v such_o as_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o wondrous_a work_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o pray_v take_v notice_n and_o these_o be_v the_o word_n behold_v you_o despiser_n and_o wonder_n and_o perish_v for_o i_o work_v a_o work_n in_o your_o day_n a_o work_n which_o you_o shall_v in_o no_o wise_a be_v ieve_v though_o a_o man_n declare_v it_o unto_o you_o and_o indeed_o i_o do_v believe_v this_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v never_o so_o much_o fulfil_v since_o it_o be_v write_v as_o it_o be_v now_o in_o our_o day_n concern_v this_o maid_n a_o wonder_n the_o like_a never_o know_v before_o in_o any_o age_n and_o be_v too_o true_a that_o there_o be_v too_o many_o despiser_n and_o i_o pray_v god_n the_o word_n of_o this_o text_n do_v not_o too_o soon_o fall_v upon_o some_o of_o they_o for_o as_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n say_v they_o will_v not_o believe_v though_o a_o man_n declare_v it_o unto_o they_o nay_o there_o be_v some_o which_o have_v be_v with_o the_o damsel_n and_o have_v see_v she_o and_o yet_o they_o be_v very_o hard_a of_o belief_n just_a like_a unto_o those_o people_n which_o we_o read_v of_o in_o the_o gospel_n which_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o word_n which_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v to_o they_o

and_o yet_o for_o all_o they_o laugh_v he_o to_o scorn_v he_o let_v they_o see_v a_o wonderful_a strange_a work_n which_o he_o wrought_v upon_o the_o body_n of_o i_o 〈◊〉_d daughter_n in_o raise_v

to_o see_v if_o we_o will_v believe_v and_o not_o to_o perish_v through_o our_o unbeleive_v heart_n for_o he_o that_o have_v a_o stedlast_n heart_n to_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v shall_v

i_o must_v needs_o tell_v you_o if_o you_o do_v desire_n to_o have_v mercy_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n at_o the_o latter_a day_n you_o must_v strive_v to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n that_o be_v

she_o do_v not_o advance_v herself_o in_o any_o way_n but_o do_v confess_v herself_o a_o sinner_n trust_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o mercn_n and_o the_o lord_n grant_v every_o one_o of_o we_o so_o for_o
