A49198	A treatise of the souls union with Christ wherein is declared what this union with Jesus Christ is, and many false grounds of union discovered, in which these two weighty guest are largely handled, viz. : how souls do attain the first, certain, infallible evidence of union with Christ : how souls that conceive themselves to have received certain and satisfying evidence of their union with the Lord Jesus may know certainly and infallibly that their evidence of union with Christ received is really from God, and not a diobolical enthusiasm or inspiration, or a delusion from the Devils translastion of himself into angelical glory / J.L.

to_o make_v his_o love_n glorious_a in_o those_o object_n therefore_o the_o end_n must_v in_o order_n of_o nature_n according_a to_o our_o conception_n be_v before_o the_o mean_n though_o all_o
