A67066	The leper, and the leper's house, cleansed being, an exposition upon some part of the XIVth chapter of Leviticus; the mystery of which is explained and applied to the state and condition of a sinner's becoming a saint. With profitable uses and applications. As also, what chapter may be applied to, as to the cleansing or destroying of any particular church of Christ, in and under the time of the gospel. Divided into ten parts. Written for the information of those which seldom concern themselves about the types and shadows of the Old Testament: very useful for all people. By Thomas Worden, author of, The types unvailed.	Worden, Thomas.	1695 (1695)	Wing W3578; ESTC R218033	86,936	103

on_o earth_n in_o a_o word_n christ_n himself_o have_v not_o one_o grace_n in_o he_o more_o than_o the_o weak_a believer_n on_o earth_n this_o we_o grant_v that_o he_o have_v more_o grace_n than_o

for_o what_o there_o be_v of_o it_o it_o be_v as_o perfect_a as_o be_v the_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o tall_a saint_n in_o the_o world_n as_o a_o spark_n of_o fire_n be_v as_o true_a
