Wherein divers weighty cases are resolved in relation to all those particulars: delivered in divers sermons preached at Mildreds in Bread-street London, on Psalm 19. 12, 13. Together with the remissibleness of all sin, and the irremissibleness of the sin against the Holy Ghost preached before an honourable auditory. By that reverend and faithfull minister of the Gospel, Mr. Obadiah Sedgwick, B.D. Perfected by himself, and published by those whom he intrusted with his notes.

of_o sin_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o despair_v no_o sinner_n have_v cause_n sufficient_a to_o despair_v presume_v but_o be_v once_o make_v sensible_a we_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o despair_v it_o be_v the_o
