A96435 Abraham's humble intercession for Sodom, and the Lord's gracious concessions in answer thereunto containing sundry meditations upon Gen. XVIII. from ver. XXIII. to the end of the chapter. Wherein many things are spoken of concerning believers drawing near to God, and the efficacy of their prayers; and how they may be princes and prevailers with God, and with what boldness they may come before him, and what ground they may get of him by their prayers, and what sweet communing they have with him. With sundry other things worthy of our most serious thoughts, helping us to be more spiritual and heavenly, which may prepare us for that everlasting communion and fellowship that we hope to arrive at, and come to in a blessed state of glory by Jesus Christ. By Samuel Whiting, Pastor of the Church of Christ at Lyn in N.E. [Three lines of Scripture texts] Whiting, Samuel, 1597-1679. 1666 (1666) Wing W2022; ESTC W15363 173,427 374

5._o we_o sometime_o desire_v that_o that_o will_v be_v hurtful_a to_o other_o as_o it_o will_v have_v be_v to_o the_o ninevite_n if_o jonah_n have_v have_v that_o that_o he_o desire_v for_o than_o
