A94505	Christ knocking at the doore, or, The substance of a sermon intended to be preached in Pauls upon the Sabbath day which fell upon the fifteenth day of April last: but not preached, by reason of a suddain obstruction of that liberty which was promised him, being indeed unworthy to be the servant of Jesus Christ in any such ministration for ever. / Published by the authour Philip Tanny commonly Tandy.

to_o pray_v any_o more_o to_o be_v humble_v any_o more_o to_o hearken_v to_o the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n any_o more_o the_o final_a conclusion_n be_v as_o they_o throw_v off_o all_o hope_n so_o
