A92846	The anatomy of secret sins, presumptuous sins, sins in dominion, & uprightness. 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 whether_o simile_n simile_n the_o sun_n do_v shine_v or_o not_o there_o be_v as_o many_o atom_n and_o mote_n fly_v in_o the_o room_n there_o they_o be_v real_o though_o not_o sensible_o
