an Outlandish Plant and of an heavenly extract is hardly come by it costs many a sigh and tear Acts 2. 37. This spiritual Infant is not born without pangs 2. An Hypocritical faith is afraid to come to tryal The Hypocrite had rather have his faith commended than examined He can no more endure a Scripture-trial than counterfeit Metal can endure the Touchstone He is like a man that hath stollen-Goods in his House and is very unwilling to have his House searched So the Hypocrite hath gotten some stollen-Goods which the Devil hath helped him to and he is loth to have his heart searched whereas true faith is willing to come to a trial Psal. 26. 2. Examine me O Lord and prove me try my reins and heart David was not afraid to be tried by a Jury No though God himself were one of the Jury Good Wares are never afraid of the light 3. An Hypocritical faith hath a slight esteem of true Faith The Hypocrite hears others speak in the commendation of faith but he wonders where the vertue of it lies he looks upon faith as a Drugg or some base Commodity that will not off he will part with all the faith he hath for a piece of silver and perhaps it might be dear enough of the price But that man who hath true faith he sets an high value upon it he reckons this grace among his Jewels What incorporates him into Christ but faith What puts him into a state of Sonship but faith Gal. 3. 26. Oh precious faith A Believer would not exchange his shield of faith for a Crown of gold 4. An Hypocritical faith is lame on one hand With one hand it would take Christ but it doth not with the other hand give up it self to Christ. It would take Christ by way of surety but not give up it self to him by way of surrender whereas true faith is impartial it takes Christ as a Saviour and submits to him as a Prince Christ saith With my Body and my Blood I thee endow and faith saith With my soul I thee worship 5. An Hypocritical faith is impure The Hypocrite saith he believes yet goes on in sin He is all Creed but no Commandment He believes yet will take God's Name in vain Jer. 3. 4 5. Wilt not thou cry unto me My Father thou art the guide of my youth behold thou hast done evil things as thou couldst These Impostors would call God their Father yet sinned as fast as they could For one to say he hath faith yet lives in sin is as if a man should say he were in health yet his vitals are perished but a true faith is joined with sanctity 1 Tim. 3. 9. Holding the mystery of faith in a pure Conscience The Jewel of faith is always put in the Cabinet of a good Conscience The Woman that touched Christ by faith felt an healing vertue come from him Though faith doth not wholly remove sin yet it subdues it 6. An Hypocritical faith is a dead faith it tasts no sap or sweetness in Christ. The Hypocrite tasts something in the Vine and Olive he finds contentment in the carnal luscious delights of the World but no sweetness in a promise the Holy Ghost Himself is spiritless to him That is a dead faith which hath no sense or taste But true faith finds much delectation in heavenly things The Word is sweeter than the Honey comb Psal. 19. 10. Christ's Love is better than Wine Cant. 1. 2. Thus we see a difference between the true faith and the spurious How many have thought they have had the live Child of faith by them when it hath proved the dead Child Take heed of presumption but cherish faith Faith applies Christ and makes a spiritual concoction of his Body and Blood This Supper was intended chiefly for Believers Christs Blood to an unbeliever is like Aqua-Vitae in a dead man's mouth it loseth all its vertue 11. We must come to the Lord's-Table with charitable hearts 1 Cor. 5. 7. Purge out therefore the old leaven The leaven of malice will sowre the Ordinance to us Though we must come with bitter tears yet not with bitter spirits The Lords Supper is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a Love-feast Christs blood was shed not only to reconcile us to God but one to another Christ's body was broken to make up the breaches among Christians Howsad is it that they who profess they are going to eat Christs flesh in the Sacrament should tear the flesh one of another 1 John 3. 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a Murderer He who comes to the Lord's-Table in hatred is a Judas to Christ and a Câ—…in to his brother What benefit can he receive at the Sacrament whose heart is invenomed with malice If one drinks down poyson and presently takes a Cordial surely the Cordial will do him no good Such as are poysoned with rancour and malice are not the better for the Sacrament-Cordial he that doth not come in charity to the Sacrament hath nothing of God in him for God is love 1 John 4. 19. He knows nothing of the Gospel savingly for it is a Gospel of peace Eph. 6. 15. He hath none of the wisdom which comes from Heaven for that is gentle and easie to be intreated Jam. 3. 17. Oh that Christians were 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as Ignatius speaks rooted and cemented together in love Shall Devils unite and Saints divide Did we thus learn Christ Hath not the Lord Jesus loved us to the death What greater reproach can be cast upon such a loving Head than for the Members to sâ—…ite one against another The good Lord put out the fire of contention and kindle the fire of love and amity in all our hearts 12. We must come hither with praying hearts Every Ordinance as well as every Creature is sanctified by prayer Prayer turns the Element into spiritual Aliment When we send the Dove of Prayer to Heaven It brings an Olive-leaf in its mouth We should pray that God would enrich his Ordinance with his presence that he would make the Sacrament effectual to all those holy ends and purposes for which he hath appointed it that it may be the feast of our graces and the funeral of our corruptions that it may be not only a sign to represent but an instrument to convey Christ to us and a Seal to assure us of our heavenly Joynture If we vvould have the fat and sweet of this Ordinance we must send prayer before as an Harbinger to bespeak a blessing Divers are so distracted with worldly cares that they can scarce spare any time for prayer before they come to the Sacrament Do they think the Tree of blessing will drop its fruit into their mouth when they never shaked it by prayer God doth not set his mercies at so low a rate as to cast them away upon those that do not seek them Nor is it enough to pray but it
this Spiritual Vine What was the old World the better to hear of an Ark unless they got into the Ark So what are we the better to hear of a Vine unless we are in this Vine Quest. How shall we know that we are in this Vine Answ. 1. By being ingrafted into the Vine Faith is Vinculum unionis the ingrafting grace And herein Faith hath a peculiar excellency above other Graces Other Graces make us like Christ but Faith makes us one with Christ Other Graces make us lively Pictures of Christ but Faith makes us living Branches of Christ. By Love and Humility we imitate Christ but by Faith we are implanted into him as the graft or siens is in-oculated into the Tree Let us therefore examine whether we have this ingrafting Grace Faith admires Christ's beauty confides in his Merits submits to his Laws Faith gives up its will its love its life to Christ. Faith hath two hands with one it takes Christ for its Sin-offering with the other it gives up it self to Christ as a Burnt-offering 2. We may know we are in the Vine by receiving influence from the Vine 1. A vital influence Joh. 5. 21. The Son quickneth whom he will And this life from Christ is evidenced by sensation we are sensible of the first ebullitions and risings of corruption Rom. 7. 23. and of the least ebbings of grace Hebrew 5. 14. Who have their senses exercis'd to discern both good and evil 2. A Sanctifying influence The root of this Vine being holy makes all the Branches holy Hath Christ diffused some of his Divine Unction into us are our hearts consecrated do we set our selves against every evil as there is a conflict in the stomack between the spirits of Wine and Poison Do we forsake fin not only out of Policy but Antipathy Are we by the power of Grace transformed and made Partakers of the Divine Nature Are we meek humble zealous Is the fiame of our heart Spiritual doth our pulse still beat aster God Is our aime sincere Do we not only advance but design God's Glory behold here a sanctifying vertue derived from Christ into us and we need not doubt but we are Branches of the true Vine and shall grow and flourish in him to eternity 2. Bran. You that are Believers stand and wonder that when you were by nature the Vine of Sodom Deut. 32. 32 a Vine in your blood Ezek. 19. 10 a wild Vine which not only cumbred the Ground but poyson'd it That God should take such degenerate Branches and plant you into Christ and make you partake of the spiritual juice and fat of this Vine 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 O the unfathomable depth of Gods love you who are the Branches of this Vine let me beseech you love the Vine that bears you kiss and embrace Christ. Let your Souls sound forth Hallelujahs to the whole Trinity Admire God the Father in sending a Vine from Heaven Admire God the Son who was a bleeding Vine for you Admire God the Holy Ghost who hath by his mighty Power implanted you into this Vine Turn all your sullen discontents into triumphant songs You are now made living Branches who weâ—…e once dead holy Branches who were once unclean you now bear Grapes who did once bring forth Thistles Oh make melody in your hearts to the Lord. Admire and celebrate Freegrace It is well that there is anEternitya coming and that will be little enough to praise God Use. 3. Here is a breast of Consolation to all who are implanted into Christ this Spiritual Vine Let the Times be what they will you have never so much cause to be sad as you have to rejoyce 2 Cor. 6. 10. As sorrowful yet always rejoycing Harken to me thou Branch of Christ what though thou hast little in the world seeing thou partakest of the blessing of the Vine even of all the fulness of God Eph. 3. 19. What though thou art reproached It is honour enough that thou art in Christ This Vine being a Plant of Renown casts a glory upon all the Branches What though thou art told by the Tempter that Christ doth not love thee Thou maist reply Am I ingrafted into Christ is the holy sap of his Grace infused into me and doth he not love me What though thou art persecuted be of good chear thou hast a life hid in the Vine Col. 3. 3. Your life is hid with Christ. Fear not if thou canst not live without moleâ—…ation in a Wilderness thou shalt grow in Paradise When Basil was threatned with banishment he comforted himself with this Either I shall be under Heaven or in Heaven Oh how may all the Branches of the true Vine flourish with joy Let death come they may triumph death shall destroy Sin and perfect Grace In particular there is comfort to all the real Branches of Christ in these four Cases 1. It is comfort under fear of Spiritual barrenness I am afraid saith the Saint I shall grow dead at last and be like that barren Figtree in the Gospel which was cursed But for thy comfort know that the Branches of this Spiritual Vine never cease yielding fruit Indeed ordinary Vine-Trees though they are for a time fruitful yet when they grow old they grow barren but the Branches of the true Vine are never so old as to be past bearing Psal. 92. 14. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age Believers the longer they live the more full they are of Faith the more perfumed with Love The Church of Thyatira the older she grew the better she grew Her last works were more than her first Rev. 2. 19. What a deal of fruit did Paul bring forth not long before his death This light shined brighter before his setting 1 Cor. 15. 10. I laboured more abundantly than they all So long as there is a fulness in Christ Believers shall not want This Holy Vine being replenished with sap the Branches cannot choose but be fertil Joh. 14. 19. Because I live ye shall live also Because the Root lives therefore the Branches shall flourish with fruit 2. It is comfort in case of wrongs and injuries especially when endured for Christ's sake The Lord Jesus is sensible and will one day vindicate his people The Vine is sensible of all the injury done to the Branches Exod. 3. 7. I have seen I have seen the afflictions of my people Not only have I seen them with an eye of inspection but affection Christ bleeds in the Saints wounds He who knows their Sufferings feelingly will avenge them speedily 3. It is comfort under fear of falling away I am afraid saith a Christian I shall tyre before I get to Heaven Either I shall be blown down by Satan's Temptation or faint under sufferings Oh remember thou art a Branch in Christ and thou canst not be broken off thou hast Omnipotency to support thee Adam when he grew upon his own root of innocency withered but
So carnal persons see the external Elements but Christ is not known to them in his saving Vertues There is honey in this spiritual Rock which they never taste They feed upon the bread but not Christ in the bread Isaac eat the Kid when he thought it had been Venison Gen. 27. 25. Unbelievers go away with the shadow of the Sacrament they have the Rind and the Husk not the Marrow They eat the Kid not the Venison 3. See in this Text as in a Glass infinite Love display'd 1. Behold the love of God the Father in giving Christ to be broken for us that God should lay such a Jewel to pawn is the Wonderment of Angels John 3. 16. God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son It is a pattern of Love without a Parallel it was a far greater expression of Love in God to give his Son to dye for us than if he had voluntarily acquitted us of the Debt without any satisfaction at all If a Subject be disloyal to his Soveraign it argues more love in the King to give his own Son to dye for that Subject than to forgive him the wrong freely 2. Behold the amazing Love of Christ His body was broken The Cross saith St. Austin was a Pulpit in which Christ preached his Love to the World Let us see an holy Climax or Gradation of the Love of Christ 1. It was wonderful Love that Christ who never had the Viper of sin fastened on him should be reputed a sinner That he who hated sin should be made sin That he who is numbred among the Persons of the Trinity should be numbred among transgressours Isa. 53. 12. 2 That Christ should suffer peath Lord saith Bernard thou hast loved me more than thy self for thou didst lay down thy life for me The Emperour Trajan rent off a piece of his own Robe to bind up one of his Souldiers Wounds Christ rent off his own Flesh for us Nay that Christ should dye as the greatest sinner †having the weight of all mens sins laid upon him here was Love usque ad stuporem dulcis It sets all the Angels in Heaven a wondring 3. That Christ should dye freely John 10. 17. I lay down my Life There was no Law to enjoin him no Force to compel him It is called the Offering of the Body of Jesus Heb. 10. 10. What could fasten him to the Cross but the Golden Link of Love 4. That Christ should dye for such as we are What are we Not only Vanity but Enmity When we were fighting he was dying when we had the Weapons in our hands then had he the Spear in his Sides Rom. 5. 8. 5. That Christ dyed â—…or us when he could not expect to be at all bettered by us We were reduced to penury we were in such a condition that we could neither Merit Christ's Love nor Râ—…quite it for Christ to dye for us when we were at such a low Ebb was the very Quintessence of Love One Man will extend kindness to another so long as he is able to requite him but if he be fallen to decay then love begins to slacken and cool But when we were ingulphed in misery and were fallen to decay we had lost our Beauty stained our Blood spent our Portion then Christ dyed for us O amazing love which may swallow up all our thoughts 6. That Christ should not repent of his sufferings Isa. 53 11. He shall see of the travel of his soul and shall be satisfied It is a Metaphor that alludes to a Mother who though she hath had hard Labour yet doth not repent â—…it when she sees a Child brought forth so though Christ had hard Travel upon the Cross yet he doth not repent of it but thinks all his Sweat and Blood well bestowed because he sees the Man-child of redemption is brought forth into the World He shall be satisfied the Hebrew Word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies such a satiating as a man hath at some sweet repast or banquet 7. That Christ should rather dye for us than the Angels that fell They were creatures of a more noble Extract and in all probability might have brought greater Revenues of glory to God yet that Christ should pass by those Golden Vessels and make us Clods of Earth into Stars of Glory O the Hyperbole of Christ's Love 8. Yet another Step of Christ's Love for like the waters of the Sanctuary it riseth higher That Christ's Love should not cease at the hour of Death We write in our Letters Your Friend till Death But Christ wrote in another Style Your Friend after Death Christ dyed once 〈◊〉 loves ever He is now testify 〈◊〉 his Affection to us he is making the Mansions ready for us John 14. 2. He is interceding for us Heb. 9. 27. He appears in the Court as the Advocate for the Clyent When he hath done dying yet he hath not done loving what a stupendious love was here Who can meditate upon this and not be in an Extasie Well may the Apostle call it A love that passeth knowledg Eph. 3. 19. When you see Christ broken in the Sacrament think of this Love 4. See then what dear and intire affections we should bear to Christ who gives us his body and blood in the Eucharist If he had had any thing to part with of more worth he would have bestowed it upon us O let Christ lie nearest our Hearts Let him be our Tree of Life and let us desire no other Fruit â—…et him be our Morning Star â—…nd let us rejoice in no other Light As Christs Beauty so his Bounty should make him loved by us he hath given us his Blood as the Price and his Spirit as the Witness of our Pardon In the Sacrament Christ bestows all good things He both imputes his Righteousness and imparts his Loving-kindness He gives a Fore-taste of that Supper which shall be celebrated in the Paradise of God To sum up all In the blessed Supper Christ gives himself to Believers and what can he give more Dear Saviour how should thy Name be as Oyntment poured forth The Persians worship the Sun for their God let us worship the Sun of Righteousness Though Judas sold Christ for Thirty Pieces let us rather part with all than this Pearl Christ is that Golden Pipe through which the Golden Oyl of Salvation is transmitted to us 5. Was Christ's Body broken then we may behold Sin odious in the Red Glass of Christ's Sufferings It is true Sin is to be abominated as it turn'd Adam out of Paradise and threw the Angels down to Hell Sin is the Peace-breaker it is like an Incendiary in the Family that sets Husband and Wife at variance it makes God fall out with us Sin is the Womb of our Sorrows and the Grave of our Comforts But that which may most of all disfigure the Face of
frequent Celebration of the Lords Supper where Christ in a special manner is lifted up though we have looked upon this Brazen serpent formerly yet still we have need to look upon him we are not perfectly healed Indeed Israel if they had looked but once on the Brazen Serpent they were perfectly cured but though we have looked several times on Christ in the Sacrament and can say by experience We have fetched vertue from him yet we are not perfectly cured Though the guilt of sin be taken away yet not the presence and in-being Our bloody issue is not quite dried up our wounds bleed afresh our sins break out again I appeal to the best hearts alive how often have they been stung with sin and tentation since they looked last on Christ lifted up in the Sacrament O what need then to come often to this Ordinance Herein the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper differeth from the Sacrament of Baptism which is to be administred but once this often 〈◊〉 Cor. 11. 26 If we consider how strong our corruptions are how weak our Graces how numerous our wanâ—…s it may make us come often to the Lords-Table where we may have an healing sight of Christ. He that wants Gold goes often to the Indies Our Spiritual indigence may renew our addresses to the Lords-Supper for strength and comfort 3. Bran. See in this Mystery the Cabinet of Free-grace opened and God's love sparkling forth Three ways 1. That God hath provided Christ this Brazen Serpent as a remedy for stung lapsed sinners Oh infinite goodness of God that when vve had degenerated from him by Apostacy the Lord should take pity of us and instead of brandishing his flaming svvord should erect a Brazen serpent and make Christ knovvn to us in his healing vertues When the Angels sinned there vvas no Brazen serpent for them God did not send them to the Hospital to be healed but to the Jail to be punished They are reserved in everlasting Chains Jude 6. O rich Free-grace that hath indulged us vvith a remedy and found out a vvay of cure for all our desperate maladies 2. See Gods Free-grace that some should be healed of their sting and not others There are but a fevv healed There is a time vvhen sinners vvill not be healed Jer. 51. 9. We would have healed Babylon but she is not healed and there is a time vvhen sinners cannot be healed Nah. 3. 19. There is no healing of thy bruise Novv Christian vvhen most die of their vvound that the Brazen serpent should be sent to thee to cure thee Oh stupendious Grace that God should lay his left hand upon many of the rich and noble and lay his right hand upon thee that Heaven should fall to thy lot that thou shouldst be one of those few that are saved* cry out in admiration Lord how is it that thou shouldst show thy self to me and not unto the world 3. See God's Free-grace that he cures us upon such cheap terms When we were wounded so deadly God did not put us to charges we were not to bring money to purchase our Cure not rivers of Oyl or drops of blood no only look upon the Brazen Serpent and the Cure is effected Isa. 55 1. Come without money and without price We are not to pay for our Cure Spiritual Blessings are too dear for our purse to reach Christ made a purchase for us in his Blood all he requires is to receive it and be thankful 4. See how justly all wicked men perish God hath provided a brazen Serpent a glorious Saviour that whoever believes in his blood may obtain mercy God beseecheth yea chargeth men to believe if therefore through folly they neglect Christ or obstinacy refuse him how righteous will God be in pronouncing that last and fatal sentence upon them They who perish under the Gospel must needs be double damned Hell's furnace will be heated seven times hoter for them because they put away Salvation from them Act. 13. 46. Pagans perish in the want of a Brazen serpent and Christians in the Contempt Jesus Christ saith Come unto me all ye sinners who are stung with guilt I will heal you I conflicted with my Fathers wrath I was wounded and out of these bleeding wounds comes forth a soveraign medicine to cure you But desperate sinners love their disease better then their remedy They had rather die then look up to Christ for life Psal. 81. 11. Israel would none of me Oh strange delirium the old Serpent after he hath stung men hath bewitched them that they mind not a Cure Who will pity such as willfully cast away themselves how will mercy slight their tears at last and God's justice triumph in their deserved ruin Use 2. Let us look in a right manner upon this Mystical Brazen Serpent Heb. 12. 2. Looking unto Jesus The Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies the stedfast fixing of the eye upon some lovely beautiful object Faith will be of more use to us than any other grace As an eye though a dim one was of more use to a stung Israelite than any other member Faith discerns the Lords body To encourage Faith Consider 1. Christ was lifted up upon the Cross purposely to cure us Christ had no other end in dying but to heal his blood is a soveraign balm for a sin-sick soul. Such as feel the burden of their sins need not question Christ's willingness to save them when the very design of his death was to cure Psal. 147. 3. He healeth the broken in heart Serpents as Naturalists affirm have a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or great love to their young and will hazard their lives for them So full of love was Christ our Mystical Brazen serpent as to die for us by whose stripes we are healed Isa. 53. 5. 2. Such as do not look up to Christ's merits do necessitate themselves to damnation Mar. 16. 16. He that believeth not shall be damned Had not Israel lift up their eyes to the Brazen serpent they had died for it If thou dost not look up as David did Psal. 25. 15. Mine eyes are ever towards the Lord then thou must look up as Dives did Luk. 16. 23. In hell he lift up his eyes Oh therefore let us fix our eye upon the Brazen serpent looking unto Jesus Let us look up to the sacrifice of Christ's blood and to the cloud of incense which he sends up by his glorious Intercession Object 1. But I fear I have no Faith alive in my Soul whereby I should look up Though Israel were stung yet they were alive but how dead do I find my heart Answ. We must distinguish between a Christian that is liveless and that is without life A sick man is liveless and hath no mind to stir yet he is not without life So Christian thou maist be liveless and thy grace dormunt yet the seed of Faith may be alive in thy heart
thou growest upon Christ's root therefore thy Grace shall flourish into Perseverance Though thou wert but as a bough that hangs half on the Tree thou shouldst never drop off because Christ holds thee It is not thy holding Christ but Christ's holding thee preserves thee He repells the force of Temptation over-pours the rellicks of corruption encreaseth the spark of Grace 1 Pet. 1. 5. Kept by the power of God The Greek word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Kept as in a Garrison 4. It is comfort in case of the World's hatred Hieroni blessed God that he was counted worthy to be one whom the World hated What though thou art maligned and hated God loves all the Branches of the True Vine nay he loveth them as he loves the Root Joh. 17. 23. That the World may know that thou hast loved Them as thou hast loved Me. It is the same love for kind though not degree 1. God the Father loved Christ ab aeterno from eternity Joh. 17. 34. Thou lovedst me before the Foundation of the World And so he loves Believers Eyhes 1. 4. He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world Our love to God began but late We may remember the time when we had no love in our hearts sparkling towards the Deity but God's love to us bears date from Eternity 2. God's love to Christ is a love of immutability and so it is to Believers The Sun of electing love having risen upon them never sets Death may take away their life but not God's love Isa. 54. 10. The Hills shall be removed but my kindness shall not depart from thee The Lord may change his love into a frown but he will never change his love into hatred God can no more hate a Believer then he can Christ for a Believer is part of Christ he is Christ-mystical What a comfort is this God loves the Branches as he loves the root and the fruit of God's love to the Elect-branches appears in two things 1. In pruning of them He prunes them by affliction We are apt to think when God afflicts us he doth not love us an Husbandman loves his Vine never a whit the less because he prunes it Affliction is God's Pruning-Hook he prunes us to make us bring forth the peaceable fruits af Righteousness Hebr. 12. 11. God had rather have the Branches bleed then be barren Joh. 15. 2. Every branch in me that beareth fruit he purgetb it that it may bring forth more fruit All this is Love It is God's love that he will rather lopp and prune the Branches then let them grow wild 2. In Transplanting them into Heaven The Branches of Christ will thrive best when they are transplanted and good reason because then they will grow in a better soil Christ desires to have all his Branches which are scattered up and down in the World to be with him Joh. 17. 24. Father I will that those which thou hast given me be with me The Elect will never be happy till they are transplanted Then they will grow quietly In Heaven there will be no Bramble to tear the Vine-Branches none of the Red Dragon's Race Then all the Branches will be sweetly united in love Then they shall grow in the Sun-shine God's Countenance will be ever shining upon them In this life they partake of Christ's Grace and hereafter they shall partake of his Glory FINIS ERRATA Pag. 2. marg for re read rei p. 9. mâ—…rg for myeris r. mysteriis p. 21. marg r. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 p. 111. marg r. mortis Books to be sold by Thomas Parkhurst at the Golden Bible on London-Bridg 1.
