A23744	Alas, what are her feeble charms, that she should expect by them to fix the giddy appetites of youth?
A23744	And alas what recompence can the little blandishments and caresses of a mother make her children, for such important such inestimable mischiefs?
A23744	And indeed to what can we more reasonably impute the great overflowings of profaneness among us, then to our ill- husbanding the means of Grace?
A23744	And what rational expectation can they have of that, when they do not invoke it?
A23744	But what speak I of an hearty Reverence, when''t is visible that there are those who pay none at all?
A23744	But, in the mean time, what security do they give for the truth of their pretensions?
A23744	Can she make it her study to please her appetite, that remembers that Dives''s unintermitted feast ends in as unallaied a thirst?

A23744	How will he then detest this robbery this impoverishing of the husband, when''t is only to make an oblation to vanity and excess?
A23744	In short what a retaliation of inversions will there then be?
A23744	In the mean time, by what strange measures do they proceed?
A23744	Indeed any marriage is in such a folly and dotage, they who must suddenly make their beds in the dust, what should they think of a nuptial couch?
A23744	Or can she deny the crumbs of her table to that Lazarus, to whom she foresees she shall then supplicate for a drop of water?
A23744	Or what tenure have they in the safety of one moment, save what they owe to God''s Providence?

A23744	Why siekye the living among the dead?
A23744	Why ● … hen should their emulation leave them where only it could do them good?
A23744	With what face can she require that strict and severe modesty of a young Girl, which she who should be a Matron will not practise?
A23744	and how many more do by their niceness and delicacy exemt themselves?

A23740	''T is only our light hath so blinded us: so that God may upbraid us as he did Israel, Hath a nation changed their Gods which yet are no gods?
A23740	AND if these be the weapons of our spiritual warfare, what may we think of the carnal?
A23740	AND now how great a madness is it to make costly Oblations to so vile an Idol?
A23740	AND now who can sufficiently wonder, that a practice that so thwarts our interest of both worlds, should come universally to prevail among us?
A23740	AND shall we give over our Clime as forlorn and desperate, and conclude that nothing which is not venemous will thrive in our Soil?
A23740	Alas, with what solicitude do we seek to hide our own guilts with false dresses, what varnishes have we for them?
A23740	And alas, how familiarly do we now see both these scenes reacted?
A23740	And can humanity contrive to debase it self more?
A23740	And can there be a grosser, a more detestable partiality then this?
A23740	And if their impotence can not afford excuse for it, what a debasement is it of mens nobler Faculties to be thus entertained?
A23740	And if we think the affront to base for one of us, can we believe God will take it in good part?
A23740	And is not this a parallel case?
A23740	And shall the servant think himself greater then his Lord?
A23740	Are not your waies unequal?
A23740	As a mad man that casteth fire- brands, arrows and death, so is he that deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, am not I in sport?
A23740	BUT here we may every one of us interrogate our selves in our Saviours words, Who made me a Judg?
A23740	Besides, how pitiful an attestation of Wit is it, to be able to make a disgraceful relation of another?
A23740	Can we pretend to love our Neighbors as our selves, and yet shall our love to him have the quite contrary effects to that we bear our selves?
A23740	For alas what Tragical complaints do men make of their infelicity, when perhaps their prosperity is as much the envious out- cry of others?
A23740	For alas what effect can that man hope from his most zealous reprehensions, who laies himself open to recrimination?
A23740	For here sure we may ask the Apostles question, Who made thee to differ from another?
A23740	For what an allay do we find it to the credit of the most probable event, that it is reported by one who uses to stretch?
A23740	For what besides this unhappy servility to Custom, can possibly reconcile men that own Christianity, to a practice so widely distant from it?
A23740	How are our secular animosities pursued, when our Speculations are thus managed?

A23740	How many persons have laid under great and heavy scandals, which have taken their first rise only from some inadvertence or indiscretion?
A23740	How shall they believe in him whom they have not heard, and how shall they hear without a preacher?
A23740	How then may we wander in things of abstruse speculations?
A23740	Is it not the same Barbarism, to mock and reproch a man that wants the gifts of Nature, as him that wants those of Fortune?
A23740	Is there a God to swear by, and is there none to believe in, none to pray to?
A23740	It was a Politic inference of the Elders of Israel in the case of Jehu, Behold two Kings stood not before him, how then shall we stand?
A23740	Judg not, and that back''d with a severe penalty, that ye be not judged?
A23740	Nay what indeed are our displesures even at those things which we pretend to fasten upon a Second Cause?
A23740	Now who knows at the instant he is so positive, but this may be his erring turn?
A23740	On self- love lessen our beam into a mote, and yet can our love to him magnify his mote into a beam?

A23740	What signifies an unfriendly Parent, or Brother, or Wife?
A23740	What so common Topic of Discourse is there, as this of back- biting our Neighbors?
A23740	When God has made Rationality the common portion of mankind, how came it to be thy inclosure?
A23740	Whither shall we turn us to find it in its pristine integrity?
A23740	Who among them can be content to be falsely aspersed?
A23740	Why dost thou judg thy brother?
A23740	Why then do these men of reason make such solemn appeals( for such every Oath is) to a mere Chimera and Phantasm?
A23740	With what gust and sensuality will they tell how such a Jest of theirs took, or such a Magnificence was admired?
A23740	could not alwaies preserve them innocent, to what guilts may not our unrestrained licentious Tongues hurry us?
A23740	made a little brisk noise for the present, and with the sparkles perhaps annoied their Neighbors, but what real good has it brought to themselves?

A23803	10.15, The rich mans wealth is his strong City: and the Psalmist says, who will lead me into the strong City?
A23803	And Now shall our Childish and fond Self- love so blindly flatter us; as to wish an Exception from this regular and general Rule?
A23803	And for the Common- Wealth, how full has it been of Jarrs and Contentions?
A23803	And now would you on the one hand see the reason why you are so fearful of Death?
A23803	And, if thou needs wilt Build, let St. Chrysostom be a little thy Surveyour wouldst thou erect Beauteous and Splendid Edifices?
A23803	Are our Friends for the present in a flourishing Estate?
A23803	But how are we degenerated into Nabalism?
A23803	But perhaps thou wilt say, To what end is this humane Life lent thee?
A23803	But what?
A23803	But, is he thy Friend, and dost thou envy him his Happiness?
A23803	Can we Complain of Wants?

A23803	It was a Question once debated in the Court of Alexander, What was the Greatest Thing in the World?
A23803	Let the Comfort then, which Death brings, moderate our Sorrow for our Friends who Sleep in Jesus: why should we be troubled for them who are at Rest?
A23803	Lord, whither should we go?
A23803	So after all this Colloquy of ours, anatomizing the vain World, what can we find here worthy our Affections?
A23803	The sting of death is Sin; since Death is only venemous and deadly to them who live in Sin: on the other hand, would you see the way to a joyful End?
A23803	Then what do we here, here in our unsatisfied Desires?
A23803	Thinkst thou of Youth and Strength?
A23803	Thirdly, to express what thou art, what Language can that unfold?
A23803	Thou wilt say perhaps, it is my Friend, my dearly beloved Friend who is dead, and can I choose but Mourn?
A23803	V. In the Church, what Flouds, what Seas can lend us Tears enough to bewail this want of Vnity in matters of Religion?
A23803	Wast of Food, Wast of Feeders?
A23803	What Man is he that liveth, and shall not see Death?
A23803	What then is our being?
A23803	Why did our Mothers conceive us, and bring us forth to a miserable World; and unkindly rejoyce to hear us cry?
A23803	Why should we impatiently take it, that they are withdrawn for a time, whom we believe returning to Eternity?
A23803	Why should we then thus be surrrounded with Fears, and permit Death''s Terrors thus to affright us?
A23803	Why so big with Expectation of Advantage or Advancement from thy Rich Ally, Honourable Lord, Potent Friend?
A23803	Why too much, if we believe they are not lost?
A23803	Why were we born to behold the Sun?
A23803	and Death what is it but a going to Life?
A23803	and as soon do intemperately devoured Meats, like much Fire a little Water, drink up the radical moisture?
A23803	and does not those many Miseries highly applaud its shortness?
A23803	and here that Judaism is seasonable, What need this wast?
A23803	and not worthy our Disdain?
A23803	and sit down in Sorrow for them who are entred into Joy?
A23803	and so many Tears flow from our Eyes for them, who have all Tears wiped away from theirs?
A23803	because such Lightnings, Inflammations in his Veins?
A23803	can he enter into his Mother''s Womb again and be born?
A23803	can they then whose is the whole Earth want Cities?
A23803	did not all Creatures then wear Mans Livery, a name of Servitude, and the very Wheeles of Time it self appointed to attend him unto Immortality?
A23803	does not the very shortness mitigate and abate its Miseries?
A23803	dost thou dearly Love him and yet grieve at his Welfare?
A23803	for our Earthly Comforts to be taken from us, when Heavenly Joys are Conferred on us?
A23803	for the standing Pools to be dry, so long as we may drink at the Fountain?
A23803	have we no Continuing City?
A23803	he is thy Friend, and Death is his Benefit: and shall the Benefit of another, especially of thy Friend be thy Sorrow?
A23803	how many that are young, and in the Vigour of their Age, have died before thee?
A23803	is it because he hath such Earthquakes in him, so many Chollicks and Palsies?
A23803	is it because he hath such Thunderings, sudden Noises in his Head?
A23803	no, that''s not he: is''t the Man whom the King will Honour, with the Ring, and Steed, and Royal Robe?
A23803	our eager Prosecutions?
A23803	says the Holy Father: why says God, the kingdom of heaven: says St. Augustine, what''s the price on''t?
A23803	seems it so hard a task to Walk the Path, which all our Ancestors have Trod before us?
A23803	shall he deliver his Soul from the hand of the grave?
A23803	should we not rather be glad and rejoye at the approach of Death, that when e''er it comes it proves so advantagious to us?
A23803	that he has not cut down the principal Cedar?
A23803	that he has not deprived us of our chiefest Support, and Royal Defender?
A23803	that our only business here, is but like unto the Wise Virgins; to Trim our Lamps, and to wait the coming of the Bridegroom?
A23803	this Life, what is it but a going to Death?
A23803	thou hast the Words of Eternall Life: let us say in this, Lord to whom should we live?
A23803	to Sow to the Flesh, and to the World, and yet Reap by Christ the Gain of everlasting Life after Death?
A23803	what glorious Objects not to be reveal''d, should you there behold?
A23803	what is become of that Sin Covering Amity?
A23803	what though not straightway granted,''t is but to glorify our Patience?
A23803	whose Chariot is Immortality; whose Lackquies Time was; can they want Continuance?
A23803	why are we Clad in Black for them who Walk in White?
A23803	why should we immoderately grieve that our Friends go before us, seeing we must quickly follow after?
A23803	would you have Comfort in, and Gain after Death?
A23803	yet were the World let loose against them, Christ''s little Flock need fear no ill; for they are in such a Hand, as who shall take them from him?
A23734	AND now, O Lord, I who am less than the least of all thy Mercies, what shall I render thee?
A23734	ART thou in Want, which excites thy Discontent?
A23734	ASK thy Conscience whether it can presume to sin wittingly and willingly?
A23734	Again he demanded, That being Won, shall our Wars end?
A23734	And canst thou think that the Almighty will suffer thee to be lost, by permitting thee to Temptations?
A23734	And if God Justifies, who shall Condemn?
A23734	And rather more for the love of God, than for fear of his Judgments?
A23734	And what can the richest Treasures of Princes afford them more than Tranquility of Mind?
A23734	And what shall we do then,( said Cineas?)
A23734	And whether it can be sedate in any known and unrepented Sin?
A23734	Art thou endowed with Riches?
A23734	But when we have all in our Hands,( said Cineas) what shall we do in the end?
A23734	Can the Husbandman, so opportune the Wind, that he will not lose the Corn, but cleanse it from the Chaff?

A23734	DOST thou resolve to oblige thy self to avoid Sin?
A23734	DOTH thy Faith endure many sharp encounters of the Tempter?
A23734	Dost thou carefully shun all occasions and incentives moving thee and enticing thee to Sin and Wickedness?
A23734	Dost thou conscientiously and diligently use the means to take cognizance of thy Sins; as by applying the word of God home to thy Conscience?
A23734	Dost thou in the inward Man consent to the Law of God?
A23734	ENQUIRE whether thou dost not persevere in some habitual sin?
A23734	Even this which thou now complainest of?
A23734	From this Inference, ask thy Conscience whether thou wouldst have committed this Evil which now wounds it?
A23734	HOW properly may vain, childish things, like dead Leaves neer the fruitful Autumn, fall off our minds, when we subscribe our selves Men?
A23734	Hast thou a hearty desire to have these wants of Grace supplyed?
A23734	Hast thou laid it up in a Solicitous Heart?
A23734	Hast thou not neglected the appointed means?
A23734	Hast thou not procured this unto thy self?
A23734	Hast thou valued it, and begged it fervently and frequently of God, above all things in the World?
A23734	How few set a right Estimate on Heavenly things till it be too late?
A23734	How guilty then must thou be in Envying his Felicity?
A23734	If God in his good Pleasure would have destroyed thee; how often and justly might he have taken thee away in thy Sins?
A23734	If want of Faith perplex thee; hast thou not negligently heard the Gospel?
A23734	In every affliction, examine well thy Heart for the Cause: Wherefore is the living Man Sorrowful?
A23734	Is he Good?
A23734	Is not every Temptation as the shaking of Trees, which loosing the ground, Engrafts them the deeper?
A23734	Is not it enough that he will effect that which is properest and best for thee and canst thou pretend to outvie his Wisdom?
A23734	Is not the sound of their Masters Feet behind them?
A23734	Is thy Fortune slender?
A23734	It animated the Royal Prophet to cry out, In the Lord put I my trust; how say ye then to my Soul, flee, as a Bird to your Mountain?
A23734	It was no small tryal, when David cryed out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A23734	MAKE that inquest with thy Soul, whether ever thou wert possest of that, which thou art now sensible thou wantest?
A23734	NATURAL Historians acquaint us of some Countries free from Serpents; but who can inform me of any barren of Envy?

A23734	O Jerusalem, saith the Lord, wash thy Heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be Saved: How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge in thee?
A23734	Or complain of Danger?

A23734	Pyrrhus replied, The way was then open enough to attain great Conquests, and who would not afterwards go into Africk, and so to Carthage?
A23734	SEEING then Calamity is often the Discipline of Virtue; Shall his Stomach be averse to the Antidote, who greedily swallowed down the Poyson?
A23734	THE Heart is deceitful above all things; who can know it?
A23734	That, The Heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?
A23734	The Lord is my Light and my Salvation, whom shall I fear?
A23734	The Lord is the strength of my Life, of whom shall I be afraid?
A23734	The Spirit of a Man will sustain his Infirmities, but a wounded Spirit who can bear?
A23734	The first is evident in Jehoram''s Message, Behold, said that Prophaner, beheld, this evil is of the Lord, what should I wait for the Lord any longer?
A23734	WHAT are Honors, where a qualification of Mind is wanting to manage them?
A23734	WHEN thou art under any Temptation examine thy self whether thou delightest in it?
A23734	WOULDST thou embrace Sanctity, and is it thy Heart''s desire to serve God in sincerity?
A23734	What advantage did he reap upon the Royal Prophet, by staining so glorious a Life, which was produc''d by his few hours Vacancy?
A23734	What are Pleasures?

A23734	What is Strength?
A23734	What then shall our Glory be when we shall be like Christ?
A23734	When he cometh, shut the Door, and hold him fast there: Is not the sound of his Master''s Feet behind him?
A23734	When the sting of Death is taken out, who would not be Valiant?
A23734	Wherefore should I fear in the days of Evil?
A23734	Wherefore think you Evil in your hearts?
A23734	Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the Words of my Roaring?
A23734	Why art thou so sad, O my Soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A23734	Wouldst thou desert the Service?

A75017	ALAS what human writing is there of near that Antiquity, wherein there are not many passages unintelligible?
A75017	AND hath God don nothing to get him a repute among us?
A75017	AND then in the second place, what calm can there be to such a mind?
A75017	And alas, what will it avail us that our opinions are right, if our manners be crooked?
A75017	And if it should happen to succeed in such a particular Church, yet what is that to the universal?

A75017	And if the Jewish Church had no such right, upon what account can the Christian claim any?
A75017	And what Patron will not expect observance from one who thus subsists by him?
A75017	And when a thing is proper for such noble purposes, can it be the part of a wise man to apply it only to mean and trivial?
A75017	And when their perverseness frustrates all this his holy Artifice; how passionately do''s he expostulate with them?
A75017	And whence is all this caution but from a universal consent that writing is the surest way of transmitting?
A75017	BESIDES, admit it possible that so many could have join''d in the deceit, yet what imaginable end could they have in it?
A75017	BUT what human kindness is there that can come in any competition with the Divine?
A75017	BUT, besides all this, what shall we say, if the power it self of giving Licences be a mere shew, and really signifies just nothing?
A75017	But alas, what is the profoundest wisdom of men, compar''d with that of God?
A75017	But what are those things which we ought to enquire into?
A75017	But who ever laid down their lives in attestation of that, or any human composure, as multitudes of men have don for the Bible?
A75017	But yet with how much deeper anguish will it reflect on it self as the Author of that deprivation?

A75017	Hath a Nation changed their gods which yet are no gods?
A75017	How exactly are all the denunciations of judgments fulfil''d, where repentance has not interven''d?
A75017	How great a shame is it then for Christians to defalk that reverence from the true God, which heathens allow''d their false ones?

A75017	How often are they upbraided with the better examples of the bruit creatures?
A75017	How shall I give thee up Ephraim?
A75017	How shall it be known that there was such a man as either Seller or Purchaser?
A75017	How will it recollect the many despis''d tenders of grace, the easy terms on which salvation might have bin had?
A75017	I ask then, had the Jewish Church by vertue of its being keeper, a power to supersede any part of those Oracles intrusted to them?
A75017	Is he not worthy to prescribe to his own creatures?
A75017	Is it possible that any men in their wits should be so stupidly credulous, as to incur the penalty of those Laws upon so improbable an indemnity?
A75017	Is this house which is called by my name become a den of robbers in your eies?
A75017	Many indeed have pretended impotency as a motive of compassion; but what could they gain by owning a cure they had not?
A75017	NOW what method imaginable can there be used to rational creatures of more force and energy?
A75017	Now at this rate of infidelity, what way will they leave God to manifest any thing convincingly to the world?
A75017	Now of those many who defame Holy Writ, how few are there that have the industry to inquire into those particulars?
A75017	Now suppose God should now raise us Prophets, and inspire them after this manner; what would the merry men of this time say to it?
A75017	Now what have we to found this confidence on besides the faith of History?
A75017	Should we not conclude him mad, that should attemt to fell a mighty Oak with a Pen- knife, or stop a Torrent with a wisp of Straw?
A75017	So also for property, if nothing of testimony may be admitted, how shall any man prove his right to any thing?
A75017	To what purpose are the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?
A75017	We are all very niggardly towards God, and should have bin apt to have ask''d Judas''s question; to what purpose is this wast?
A75017	What a multitude of subjects are there in the world, who never saw their Prince, nor were at the making of any Law?
A75017	What instance is there of the greatest tenderness and love which God has not adopted to express his by?
A75017	What needs the labor of the course if the prize be certain?
A75017	What piercing exprobrations do we find of Israels ingratitude?
A75017	What saiest thou, O man?
A75017	Who is there that questions there was such a man as William the Conqueror in this Island?
A75017	Why may it not then be as possible for others to do the like thro a greater excess of incredulity?
A75017	Why will ye die O house of Israel?
A75017	Would any but an Idiot wast that Soveraign Liquor in the washing of his feet, which was given him to expel poison from his heart?
A75017	and how could he believe that, but upon the credit of those who have bin there?
A75017	but what impression can a sword make on a body of air; which still slips from, and eludes its thrusts?
A75017	can we think God can be pleas''d to see his more sacred Word, the theme of our giddy mirth, and have his own words echoed to him in profane drollery?
A75017	do''s any man purchase an estate, and leave no way for his children to lay claim to it, but the Tradition the present witnesses shall leave of it?
A75017	has he left the sacred Scriptures with her, not to preserve and practice, but to regulate and reform?
A75017	has he no excellencies to deserve our esteem?
A75017	how readest thou?
A75017	how shall I deliver thee Israel?
A75017	how shall I set thee as Zeboim?
A75017	how solemnly protest his aversness to their ruin?
A75017	if all these should deny their obedience, because they have it only by hear- say, there is such a man, and such Laws, what would become of goverment?
A75017	if we think yes, why is he the only person to be disregarded?
A75017	is it from the autority of our Lord and his Gospel; or comes it from the commands of the Apostles in their Epistles?
A75017	or, to lay the Scene farther; who doubts there was an Alexander, a Julius Caesar, an Augustus?
A75017	saies: How can we make use of any thing which is not to be found in Scripture?
A75017	should frame Laws in their favor, make Acts of toleration and indulgence for them?
A75017	to fill up its vacancies, and supply its defects by her own Traditions?
A75017	what order and peace would it introduce?
A75017	when he teaches us that highest, and yet most certain Alchimy, of refining and multiplying our enjoyments, and then perpetuating them?
A75017	ye have taken away my Gods which I have made, and the Priest, and are gon away, and what have I more?
A23752	12. but what impression can a sword make on a body of air; which still slips from, and eludes its thrusts?
A23752	2 NOW what method imaginable can there be used to rational creatures of more sorce and energy?
A23752	24. ye have taken away my Gods which I have made, and the Priest, and are gon away, and what have I more?
A23752	31, 32. with what regrets and relentings do''s he think of abandoning them?
A23752	5. when he teaches us that highest, and yet most certain Alchimy, of refining and multiplying our enjoiments, and then perpetuating them?
A23752	8. should frame Laws in their favor, make Acts of toleration and indulgence for them?
A23752	ALAS what human writing is there of near that Antiquity, wherein there are not many passages unintelligible?
A23752	AND hath God don nothing to get him a repute among us?
A23752	AND then in the second place, what calm can there be to such a mind?
A23752	And alas, what will it avail us that our opinions are right, if our manners be crooked?
A23752	And if it should happen to succeed in such a particular Church, yet what is that to the universal?
A23752	And if men would but universally conform to them, to what a blessed harmony would it tune the world?
A23752	And if the Jewish Church had no such right, upon what account can the Christian claim any?
A23752	And what Patron will not expect observance from one who thus subsists by him?
A23752	And when a thing is proper for such noble purposes, can it be the part of a wise man to apply it only to mean and trivial?
A23752	And when their per ● erseness frustrates all this his holy Artifice; how passionately do''s he expostulate with them?
A23752	And whence is all this caution but from a universal consent that writing is the surest way of transmitting?
A23752	BESIDES, admit it possible that so many could have join''d in the deceit, yet what imaginable end could they have in it?
A23752	BUT what human kindness is there that can come in any competition with the Divine?
A23752	BUT, besides all this, what shall we say, if the power it self of giving Licences be a mere shew, and really signifies just nothing?
A23752	But alas what is the profoundest wisdom of men compar''d with that of God?
A23752	But what are those things which we ought to enquire into?
A23752	But who ever laid down their lives in attestation of that, or any human composure, as multitudes of men have don for the Bible?
A23752	But yet with how much deeper anguish will it reflect on it self as the Author of that deprivation?
A23752	Can we think that they who rally upon all that the former Prophets have writ, would look with much reverence on what the new ones should say?
A23752	Do''s any Nation trust their fundamental Laws only to the memory of the present Age, and take no other course to transmit them to the future?
A23752	FIRST for the predictions, what signal completions do we find?
A23752	Fear ye not me saith the Lord?
A23752	For when Tradition was objected to him, he answers; Whence is this Tradition?
A23752	Had not he drawn mankind out of his original clay, what had we bin concern''d in all the other works of his Creation?
A23752	Has Christ enlarg''d its Charter?
A23752	How exactly are all the denunciations of judgments fulfill''d, where repentance has not interven''d?
A23752	How great a shame is it then for Christians to defalk that reverence from the true God, which heathens allow''d their false ones?
A23752	How impious a folly is it then in us, to Idolize human Wisdom with all its imperfections, and despise the divine?
A23752	How ingenuously apt was Nathans Apologue to David, whereby with holy artifice he ensnar''d him into repentance?
A23752	How often are they upbraided with the better examples of the brute creatures?
A23752	How shall I give thee up Ephraim?
A23752	How shall it be known that there was such a man as either Seller or Purchaser?
A23752	How will it recollect the many despis''d tenders of grace, the easy terms on which salvation might have bin had?
A23752	I ask then, had the Jewish Church by vertue of its being keeper, a power to supersede any part of those Oracles intrusted to them?
A23752	If the same rigor should be extended to secular cases, what a damp would it strike upon commerce?
A23752	If we think yes, why is he the only person to be disregarded?
A23752	Is it possible that any men in their wits should be so stupidly credulous, as to incur the penalty of those Laws upon so improbable an indemnity?
A23752	Is this house which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eies?
A23752	Many indeed have pretended impotency as a motive of compassion; but what could they gain by owning a cure they had not?
A23752	NOW in all these cases how possible is it that primitive Tradition may be either lost or adulterated?
A23752	Now at this rate of infidelity, what way will they leave God to manifest any thing convincingly to the world?
A23752	Now of those many who defame Holy Writ, how few are there that have the industry to inquire into those particulars?
A23752	Now suppose God should now raise us Prophets, and inspire them after this manner; what would the merry men of this time say to it?
A23752	Now what have we to found this confidence on besides the faith of History?

A23773	''T is certain, the Hour of Death will come, and then what will all thy Wealth avail thee?
A23773	14. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
A23773	6. what can we expect our Unrighteousness should be?
A23773	AND now, who would not run with Alacrity, through Adversity, wild Woods, Desarts, and Wildernesses?
A23773	AND was that the Occasion of this Invitation we gave the Most Highest?
A23773	AND yet how hard a Task is it for us to endure even the pettiest Affliction, for Thy sake, O Lord?
A23773	AND yet, how foolish and vain are our Desires still after the World?
A23773	After this method Iob resolv''d, I have made a covenant with mine eyes, why then should I look upon a maid?
A23773	Alas, Is the Magnificence of Thy Kingdom not worth approaching to?
A23773	And do''st thou still swell with Ambition?
A23773	And how many Centuries of Ages must thou yet remain buried in Flames, and roaring among the Infernal Crew?
A23773	And how much more then will thy Account extend to obscene Speeches, and sordid Actions?
A23773	And is not this Person a fit Example for the whole World to imitate?
A23773	And shall Christians follow the Examples of Heathens?
A23773	And shall the Lusts of this vain World, O Lord, be greater in my Soul than the Love of Thee?
A23773	And what after Death, but Food for VVorms?
A23773	And what can all their Detraction prejudice thee, if she defend thee?
A23773	And who would not relinquish this momentary sensual Pleasure, to evade everlasting Burnings?
A23773	And why do''st thou so eagerly pursue after Pleasures?
A23773	And wilt thou be a Jesus of Mercy to the whole Universe, and become none to me?
A23773	Are all shrunk into a Tomb, and an unwelcom Period?
A23773	Are the Felicities of Eternal Bliss of so small a Value, that they are not worth approaching too?
A23773	Art thou addicted to Drinking?
A23773	But a wounded spirit who can bear?
A23773	But why do''st thou chase so much after Riches?
A23773	Can they, by their utmost Skill, neither bribe nor purchase thy Pardon?
A23773	Can those Pleasures which bereft thee of Heaven, recover it again before Death puts a period to thy Life?
A23773	Can thy Pomps and Vanities asswage or allay thy deep Sorrows?
A23773	Can we propose to ascend Thy Throne by a feeble and dronish Devotion?
A23773	Deeds of Darkness are the Seeds of Satan, but a lively Faith proceeds from Christ; and, What communion is there between Christ and Satan?
A23773	Did He which made the Heavens bow them, come down, and unthrone himself to convey us thither, and do we lie wallowing in our Sins for ever?
A23773	For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
A23773	For, how can that which is Temporal, satisfie the Soul which is Eternal?
A23773	For, who is he which is now Young and Vigorous, that is certain he shall live to be Old?
A23773	For, who is there, almost, in the World, that knows not but that he must die, but how few are they that consider it?
A23773	HOW contritely doth it expostulate with Heaven; My dearest Redeemer, is that amiable Attribute of thy Mercy lost?
A23773	He that despises not the VVorld, to follow Christ, how will he be qualify''d to lay down his Life for him?
A23773	He who took care of thee before thou wer''t born: Will his Providence neglect thee, now thou art fashioned after his own Image?
A23773	How actively do we run after the Vanities of the World, but in Thy Service pretend faintness?
A23773	How easie and alluringly, O Lord, are we led by the counterfeit and transitory Pleasures of this Life, from Thee?
A23773	How few is there, that have desired to learn it?
A23773	How many apt Scholars is there in the World, that hath perfectly learn''d this Lesson, and imprinted it in their Memory?
A23773	IF Honour be the Subject of our Ambition: What are Scepters and Crowns, but Illustrious Miseries?
A23773	IF Innocency be the Robe of Heaven, who then would not diligently strive to be adorn''d with Purity?
A23773	IF this happens to the Just, what shall become of wretched Sinners?
A23773	If this be the Recompence of true Sanctity, who would neglect Religious Duties?
A23773	Is the Fountain of it dried up from a poor and wretched Sinner?
A23773	Let us now be upon the Grand Inquest; Is not Sin a Leprosie?
A23773	Now some will object, If it be a Duty so Necessary, how comes it to pass, that it hath been so geeerally Neglected by most Christians?
A23773	Now the Query is, Whether his Boldness, or his Love to Christ, prompted him to this Heroick Action?
A23773	Oh, how infatuated are they then, which indulge themselves to that which is liable to Corruption?
A23773	Or shall we imagine every step too tiresom, that conveys us to Everlasting Glory?
A23773	Or will the silent Grave require no other Fee than so rich a Miser?
A23773	Or, what signifies a Bed of Gold, to one in a burning Fever, unless the State or Pomp could abate the Torment?
A23773	SET not thy Affections upon the World; for it shall pass away; and all the things that are therein, shall be consumed with fire?
A23773	Shall the temporary Allurements of Sin eclipse the Memory of thy Glory?
A23773	Shall they that are ignorant of Thee, be more passionately Just, than we that have traced out Heaven, and expect Eternity to succeed?
A23773	Shall they who can, by the Eye of Faith, take a prospect of Eternity, look down upon this Lower World with Affectation?
A23773	THE Majesty of Heaven is the Riches of his Servants; then why should''st thou not seek after that which will compleat thy Happiness?
A23773	Tell me, ye stupid Chasers of the World, what ye aim at in all your Pretences?
A23773	That Sovereignty for which thou enslavest thy self, and lost the perfect Freedom of thy Immortal Soul?
A23773	That with the Pharisee, embrace Formality for your Religion, and make an external Piety your Duty?
A23773	V. ALL the Applause and Breath of the VVorld is insignificant, if thy Bosom Friend, thy Conscience, accuse thee?
A23773	V. CAN those transitory Enjoyments that allured away thy Immortal Part, restore it in convenient time?
A23773	VVhat in thy Life, but a Lump of Flesh?
A23773	VVhat is mortal Man the better, for gaining a Reputation of a greater value than others, if he is disesteem''d in the sight of God?
A23773	VVhat wast thou in thy Conception, but sinful Corruption?
A23773	VVhy doth mundane, ambitious Honour delight thee?
A23773	WHO then would offer up that Part an Oblation to the World, which might be render''d the Instrument of so much Felicity?
A23773	WHY art thou perplexed, O my Soul?
A23773	Was ever Grief so great?
A23773	Was not the lofty Pharisee a greater Leper than the poor Publicane, though so ambitiously he display''d his proud Plumes?
A23773	Were there no Difficulties, no skilful Trials to be past through, who, of a Mortal, would not become a Saint?
A23773	What Happiness receive we from those fleeting Honours, and transitory Treasures we so highly valued?
A23773	What Miracles of Piety?
A23773	What availeth the Praises of Men, if the Voice within accuseth us?
A23773	What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
A23773	What number of Years has thou reign''d in sulphurous Fire?
A23773	Where are all those fine Diversions that divested thee of thy Piety, and the Thoughts of thy Creator?
A23773	Whither then shall I fly?
A23773	Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burning?
A23773	Who can tell how oft he offendeth?
A23773	Why hast thou forsaken me?
A23773	Why then art thou proud, O Earth and Ashes?
A23773	Why then do we deferr our Repentance, and procrastinate it from day to day?
A23773	Ye that scoff at Heaven, and make Divinity a Garment for Unrighteousness?
A23773	and aim not at sublimer Things than what this sublunary World can afford?
A23773	and are so backward from Confessing their Crimes, that they are become obdurate in their Impenitence?
A23773	and suffer the Profuseness of his wanton Blood to revel there, where sublimer Passions and Flames should triumph?
A23773	and why art thou dubious of the Mercy of God?
A23773	but to undoe others, and lose your Souls?
A23773	nay, even wade thorough Seas of Blood, to arrive safe at the Port of the Heavenly Cannaan?
A23773	or any Sorrow like unto my Sorrow?
A23773	or the Memento of thy Sins, the Destruction of thy End?
A23773	or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
A23773	those pleasing deluding Vanities that swept away all sense of Heaven, and fore- sight of thy Future State?
A23773	what Griefs, what Pains and Torments are these thou undergoest?
A23773	what will our loose Liberties, and those fond Delights we so eagerly chas''d after, now yield us?
A23710	23.29, 30. Who hath woe?
A23710	All the caresses of this World are unable to satisfie the Soul; but how ravishing are the joys of a holy conversation?
A23710	All these are things so evident, that I need not enlarge upon them: but how repugnant are these vices to Holiness?
A23710	All which phrases do most significantly express the severity and intolerableness of the torments: for what punishment is so terrible as that of Fire?
A23710	And after he was apprehended, with what horrid contumelies and affronts did his barbarous Enemies entertain him?
A23710	And besides, at what pains are they to make other men believe that they are real in what they onely pretend?
A23710	And can there be a more convincing motive than this, to recommend meekness to Christians?
A23710	And now may he not take up that same protestation that he used to his ancient People the Jews; What more can I do for you?
A23710	And now what ingratitude is it to despise so much love?
A23710	And now what reason can any man alleadge for the pretended easiness of sin?
A23710	And seeing our great Law- giver met with so severe a sentence, who can expect any more upright verdicts should pass upon his Laws?
A23710	And yet what an universal Empress is external beauty become?
A23710	Are ye not much better than they?
A23710	Art thou a Childe?
A23710	Art thou a Parent?
A23710	As for Beauty and Excellency, what in the world can compete with him, who is glorious in holiness, and whose Name is excellent in all the earth?
A23710	At what trouble and pains are men, to invent a lie?
A23710	But besides those loathsome diseases that are the effects of Lasciviousness, how restless and uneasie is the condition of such persons?
A23710	But how easie is Vertue, if compared with Vice?
A23710	But how easie is it to speak the truth?
A23710	But how hard is it to convince men of the folly, the extream and strange madness, of being lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God?
A23710	But how impossible is it to give a just list of those miseries that Wantonness and Intemperance hurry men to?
A23710	But now how quieting and solacing is Vertue?
A23710	But since Holiness is so conformable to Humane reason, so advantageous and beneficial to every man; what madness is it to condemn it as singular?
A23710	But what reason have good men to be sad and disconsolate, since all the causes of grief are removed from them?
A23710	Can I remember there is a Kingdom promised, and yet be terrified from it by supposed difficulties, or complain that the way is inaccessible?
A23710	Can a man finde pleasure in doing that which he knows he ought not to do?
A23710	Can any man produce any good effect that ever sin caused?
A23710	Did he not die that we might live?
A23710	Do I really know that it is indeed a good Land, and am yet discouraged to attempt the taking of it, because it will require some violence?
A23710	For first, How can any man be satisfied with those actions which are so cross to his very nature, and opposite to Reason, as every sin is?
A23710	Friend, wherefore art thou come?
A23710	From whence come wars and fightings among you?
A23710	From whence come wars and sightings amongst you?
A23710	Go to the Lascivious and Wanton person who is tormented with the Pox, and ask whether his sin be grievous to him or not?
A23710	Hath he been at so much pains, undergone such dismal sufferings to purchase our peace, and will we notwithstanding frustrate his designe?
A23710	He did indeed frequently meet with extraordinary provocations to anger; but yet how sweet were his reproofs?
A23710	His whole life was spent in doing good to men: how transcendent is his love in pitying us in our degenerate and forlorn estate?
A23710	How delectable will it be, to be constant residents in the Heavenly Jerusalem, whose Streets are pure Gold, and whose Gates are Pearl?
A23710	How delightful are all acts of Piety and Vertue?
A23710	How dismal and inconsolable was Spira''s condition?
A23710	How full of joy have Martyrs been in the midst of the flames?
A23710	How hath she conquered the mighty, and made the Nobles of the Earth Vassals to lacquey after her?
A23710	How much more inconsiderable must sinful pleasures be, which are attended with so black and dismal consequences?
A23710	How quickly are all created beauties winked into darkness?
A23710	How strictly are all the causes of Envy, Contention, Ambition, and Rebellion, prohibited?
A23710	How sweet and acceptable would Peace( a word always sounding sweetly) be to them?
A23710	How sweet will it be, to be a member of that blessed Society of the first- born in Heaven, where there is a perfect concord and agreement?
A23710	I confess, I know not any thing, except it be custom, that can be pertinently adduced; but how weak is this Plea?
A23710	I confess, that man that shall take notice( and who, having eyes in his head, can evite this, when men proclaim their sin like Sodom?)
A23710	If mankinde had not corrupted their ways, and degenerated from their pristine purity, how peaceable and happy had humane societies been?
A23710	If this merits the Encomium of courage, why may not those mad- men who inconsiderately expose themselves to danger, be also accounted valiant?
A23710	Is it fit and congruous that God should take measures from men in his Oeconomy of the World?
A23710	Is not Christ called the Prince of Peace, and the Gospel, the Gospel of Peace?
A23710	May I not well say to such men, as St. Paul said to the Galatians, Vnwise sinners, who hath bewitched you?
A23710	O how do the thoughts of a vertuous life refresh men in the midst of greatest dangers?
A23710	O how should the remembrance of his boundless compassions transport and ravish us with love?
A23710	Shall I, like the Reubenites and Gadites, set up my rest on this side of Jordan, notwithstanding this proposal of Canaan?
A23710	Some good men may be naturally of a brittle constitution, yet how strangely has their life been protracted by their moderation and sobriety?
A23710	The land which we passed through to search, it is an exceeding good land?
A23710	There is in Holiness an internal delectability, that is better felt, than it can be expressed; but how loathsome and odious is Vice?
A23710	Thirdly, What pleasure can any man enjoy, who is sure to be eternally tormented?
A23710	This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you: and yet how little efficacy has either his precept or example with us?
A23710	This is plainly attested by our Saviour, saying, What hath a man profited if he should gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
A23710	To this I answer; That the Question is not whether wicked men have some pleasure in their sins, or not?
A23710	What is all this, but for men to expose themselves to the contempt rather than pity of discerning men?
A23710	Why then are we dissatisfied with our adverse state?
A23710	With how much art and pains do men trouble themselves to conceal their vices?
A23710	Would God sinners would seriously consider whether they are able to endure the eternal pains of a gnawing Conscience?
A23710	and can it be rationally imagined that their genuine and proper effects can be more reconcilable with it?
A23710	and how many strong men have had their days shortened by their intemperance and excess?
A23710	and how unspeakably does it inhance the misery, in that it is eternal?
A23710	and shall we spend our life in offering despite unto him?
A23710	and shall wise and discerning men be Eye- witnesses of the bad bargain those men make, and not warn them of their folly?
A23710	and the body than raiment?
A23710	are they not hence, even from your lusts that war in your members?
A23710	but, whether that pleasure that ariseth from a good life, be not infinitely preferable to these?
A23710	can there be any greater madness, than to prescribe rules of Government to infinite Wisdome?
A23710	come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
A23710	how amazing are the very thoughts of those gnawings and horrours of Conscience he suffered?
A23710	how dimunitive does it make the pleasures of the wicked, to say they are short?
A23710	how dismal is the condition of those men who have lost the divine Image, and consequently his love and favour, and are liable to his fury and wrath?
A23710	how exceedingly does this one circumstance diminish them?
A23710	how inconsiderable are all sensitive delights?
A23710	how little are we moved by this noble president to minde Holiness?
A23710	how ravishing will it be, to be always in his presence, where there are Streams and Rivers of perpetual pleasures?
A23710	how seldom do we express in our actions the vertues of our spiritual King?
A23710	how strange is it, that the highest endearments of Love have not inflamed our spirits, and made Love mutual and reciprocal?
A23710	how strange to astonishment is this, that men should prefer captivity to freedom?
A23710	how unexpressible is that comfort that the devout Soul findes in conversing with God?
A23710	how unlike are we to God in this?
A23710	is it reasonable that the whole course of things should be put out of order, to satisfie every private mans humor?
A23710	is perdition so lovely and desirable, that, like Rachel, a double servitude is thought light for it?
A23710	or can patiently dwell with devouring Flames?
A23710	or, as another of the Evangelists expresseth it, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
A23710	what comforts have they even then expressed?
A23710	what inquietudes and disorders are occasioned by discontentment?
A23710	what mischiefs, jarrs and contests does it raise?
A23710	what pleasure is able to contest with those ravishing joys which result from a holy conversation?
A23710	what purity, what integrity and innocence appeared in their lives?
A23710	what tears are sufficient to express and set forth this exceeding great madness and insolency?
A23710	whether some sins have not brought him to poverty and disgrace, ruined both his estate and fame?
A23710	who hath sorrow?
A23710	who hath wounds without cause?
A23710	why do we repine and complain?
A23710	will no argument prevail with men?
A23760	( for after all these things do the Gentiles seck) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things?
A23760	2. suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
A23760	5. Who ask, When will the Sabbath be gone, that we may set forth wheat?
A23760	7. what shall then become of those multitudes of men that lye on quite other ends?
A23760	A fourth end is said to be the putting away of cares; but I shall ask what those cares are?
A23760	And alas, how many are there that have thus made themselves the Devils martyrs?
A23760	And good reason, For he that makes no conscience thus to profane Gods name; Why shall any man beleeve, he makes any of lying?
A23760	And he that ladeth himself with thick clay: shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee?
A23760	And here think, how unworthy a wretch thou art to have done that, which occasioned such torments to him?
A23760	And if he the Lord of glory suffered thus meekly and unjustly from his own creatures, with what force can we ever complain of any injury done to us?
A23760	And if it shall now be asked, what are the particular acts of this kind which we are to perform?
A23760	And of this sort is the flesh, it is an enemy, at our doors, shall I say?
A23760	And what cause of that sparing, but his tender compassions towards thee, his unwillingness that thou should''st perish?
A23760	And what is now left, but that it utterly sink, and we all perish?
A23760	And wilt thou suffer thy Spouse, for whose sake all things were made ● hus bycontinual discords to perish, and go to wrack?
A23760	And with what face can you in your greatest nee ● beg for his mercy to your Souls, when you would not as ford them your own?
A23760	Are they restrained?
A23760	Are ye not, much better then they?
A23760	But I would ask such a one whether if that man were drinking rank poison, he would pledg him for company?
A23760	But again thirdly, if he do discern his danger, yet how is he sure he shall then be able to repent?
A23760	But it may perhaps here be asked, what a person that hath already brought himself into such a condition shall do?
A23760	Did ever any think to befriend a man by helping to destroy his estate, his credit, his life?
A23760	For first, I would ask any man, that means to repent at his death, how he knows he shall have an hours time for it?
A23760	For how can he either confess his sin, that knows not his guilt of it?
A23760	For how many times would it cut and burn, and mischief it self, if it might have every thing it desires?
A23760	For how shall he that swears hourly, look upon an oath with any reverence and he that doth not?
A23760	For who can stretch his hand against the Lords anointed, and be guilt less?
A23760	How amiable are thy dwellings, O Lord of Hosts?
A23760	How can ye believe, that receive honour one of another?
A23760	How fearful a guilt is it then to entertain any such thoughts, as are in themselves wicked?
A23760	How horrible an injustice is it then, purposely to bring that loss, and damage on him?
A23760	How many of these sacramental vowes have I violated?
A23760	How much does the whiteness of the Lilly, and the redness of the Rose exceed the white, and red of the fairest face?
A23760	How much worse then his very crucifiers?
A23760	How often have I turned my back in the day of battel?
A23760	How shall one so ungodly stand in thy Judgment, or such a sinner in the Congregation of the Righteous?
A23760	How vainly then do those pretend to this vertue, that are still grudging, and rep ● ning at every good hap of others?
A23760	I presume there is no man would willingly undergo this from another, and why then should thou offer it to him?
A23760	If I be a Master, saith God, where is my fear?
A23760	If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shal reap your carnal things?
A23760	Is it not a little one?
A23760	Is it not a most ravishing pleasure to him that hath any bowels to see the joy, that a seasonable alms brings to a poor wretch?
A23760	My Soul is a thirst for God, even for the living God, when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
A23760	Nay, indeed how can it be said they do love at all, who can contentedly let each other run on in a course that will bring them to eternal misery?
A23760	Now examine thy self by this: hast thou this fruit of love to shew?
A23760	O God, wherefore art thou absent from us so long?
A23760	Shalt thou suffer ● e strong Captain of mischief, whom thou once overthrewest, again 〈 ◊ 〉 invade thy tents, and to spoil thy souldiers?
A23760	Shalt thou ● ot turn the wicked mens evils into thy Churches good?
A23760	Shalt thou ● ot with thy heavenly policy turn our folly into thy glory?
A23760	Shalt thou ● ● ffer the wicked spirits, which be authors and workers of discord, 〈 ◊ 〉 bear such a swing in thy Kingdome unchecked?
A23760	Suffered such torments in the pursuit of this sin, as would exceed the invention of the greatest tyrant?
A23760	Therefore in that respect also, the Soul is of the greatest worth; and then what strange madnesse is it for us to neglect them as we do?
A23760	WHat shall I render unto the Lord for all the benefits he hath done unto me?
A23760	What could ye not watch with me one hour?
A23760	What shall I render unto the Lord for all these benefits he hath done unto me?
A23760	Why art thou so heavy, O my Soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A23760	Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say?
A23760	Why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture?
A23760	Why shouldst thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that can not save?
A23760	Will a man rob God?
A23760	Woe to him that encreaseth that which is not his, how long?
A23760	Yet how many of us fail even in this, how frequent is it to see men, not only neglect to repay courtesies, but return injuries in stead of them?
A23760	[ Here recollect some of thy greatest sins] If thou Lord shouldst be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord who may abide it?
A23760	and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?
A23760	and who can tell that it shal not be his own case?
A23760	and why take ye thought for rayment?
A23760	be they such as should be put away?
A23760	do we not daily see men snatch''d away in a moment?
A23760	dost thou make it thy constant and greatest care to keep Gods Commandments?
A23760	earnestly labouring to please him to the utmost of thy power, even to the forsaking of what is dearest to thee in this world?
A23760	how few are there that can find gratitude, shall I say?
A23760	how it revives and puts new spirits in him, that was even sinking?
A23760	nay patience for such a courtesie?
A23760	or how can he resolve to forsake it, that discerns not himself to have formerly cleaved to it?
A23760	or how canst thou expect thy perswasions should work?
A23760	to obey him in all things?
A23760	what a multitude of creatures is there, that farr surpass man in strength and sweetness?
A23760	what hurt is it possible for thee to do to another, which can bear any comparison with that thou doest thy self, in loosing the pardon of thy sins?
A23760	which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?
A23760	yet ye have robbed me; yet ye say, wherein have we robbed thee?
A23688	15. take up that of the Psalmist, what shall I render to the Lord for all the benefits he hath don unto me?
A23688	16. and may be said of many others of those whole- sale robbers who have dignified the trade?
A23688	19. a comfort or a vexation to himself if he live to see his proof?
A23688	19. and shall he not know where to place a little lump of figur''d earth?
A23688	28. and shall we expect so much a nobler and more advantageous adoption perfectly gratis?
A23688	36. what can we do towards the new moulding our condition, or modelling things without us?
A23688	39. that he abates any thing of that just severity he might use toward us?
A23688	4. when charg''d with his murmurings, Behold I am vile, what shall I answer?
A23688	4. why art thou, being the Kings son, thus lean from day to day?
A23688	5?
A23688	6. and can we think God is less considerate of his homagers and dependents?
A23688	6. and what are we worms that we should dispute with him?
A23688	7. the sharp accent whereof, if it do aright sound in our hearts, must certainly quite overwhelm our loudest groans?
A23688	9. and why should not we have as sensible a concurrence with our fellow Christians?
A23688	A man has some joy in thinking himself less wicked then his neighbor, but what imaginable comfort can he take in thinking himself more miserable?
A23688	AND now should God take us at our words, withdraw all those blessings which we so fastidiously despise, what a condition were we in?
A23688	AND now with what face can people that thus pursue an hostility, expect that it should not be return''d to them?
A23688	Alas how few things are there which our nature( if not stimulated by fancy and luxury) requires?
A23688	Alas were all things exactly fitted to our humors here, when should we think of a remove?
A23688	And alas may we not say the very same?
A23688	And can there be any thing imagin''d more unreasonable?
A23688	And can we offer him a greater affront then thus to distrust him?
A23688	And can we then expect God should concern himself in the cure?
A23688	And can we think his malice is now worn out?
A23688	And can we think our selves then in terms to capitulate and make our own conditions, and expect God should humor us in all our wild demands?
A23688	And do we not frequently see men upon an impatience of some disappointment, grow angry even at their comforts?
A23688	And how astonishing a contemplation is this?
A23688	And how rare is it to find them who want those?
A23688	And now surely God may complaine of us as he did of Israel, How loug will it be ere you believe me?
A23688	And shall we basely forsake ours in pursuit of our ease?
A23688	And what ambition is there so greedy which this will not satisfy?
A23688	And where we can neither resist nor appeal, what have we to do but humbly to submit?
A23688	And who is there that suffers in this world the utmost that God can inflict?
A23688	BUT as bad as it is, who is there of us, that can in this particular say we have made our heart clean?
A23688	BUT in the mean time how unjustly do they accuse God of illiberality, because every thing answers not their humor?
A23688	BUT is not our dealing too as little after the manner of men?
A23688	But alas how preposterous a method do we take in our afflictions?
A23688	But if every aspiring humor should be as prosperous, where would it find fuel to maintain the flame?
A23688	But if it be thus with us upon the mere score of our imperfectionsor omissions, what an obnoxious state do our innumerable actual sins put us in?
A23688	But what a contest may we think there was in his own bowels when that rigorous task was imposed on him of sacrificing his Isaac?
A23688	But whilst our appetites are boundless, and rather stretcht then filled with our acquest''s, what possibility is there of their satisfaction?
A23688	But who is there can say that any one of his afflictions has bin of equal continuance, or has prest him with so few intermissions?
A23688	Can the highest human indulgence bear any proportion with this divine Clemency?
A23688	Did he resist to blood, and shall we think those pressures intolerable, which force only a few tears from us?
A23688	Do''s any complain of the lowness and poverty of his condition?
A23688	Do''s any man groan under sharp and acute pains?
A23688	Do''s any man or indeed any beast desire to keep a distastful relish still in his mouth, to chew the cud upon gall and wormwood?
A23688	For alas who is there that can say his obedience has bin in any degree proportionable to his obligation?
A23688	For alas, let the most afflicted of us weigh our sorrows with his, how absurdly unequal will the comparison appear?
A23688	God complains of Israel wherefore say my people we are Lords?
A23688	Had God wisdom enough to contrive this vast and beautiful fabric, and may he not be trusted with one of us poor worms?
A23688	How many are there who have lived in a perpetual affluence from their cradles to their graves, have never known what it is to want?
A23688	How nicely and critically do we observe every little adverse accident of our lives?
A23688	How should we like it in any of our own families, to have an inferior officer leave his work undon, because he has more mind to be Major- Domo?
A23688	I confess t is no good indication of our temper that we need thus to be put in the press ere we will yield any thing?
A23688	If God permit but one ambitious spirit to break loose in an age as the instrument of his wrath, what destruction do''s it often times make?
A23688	If he dislike an inferior state, why should he not think others do so too?
A23688	If the spots of our sacrifices are provoking, what are our sacrileges and bold profanations?
A23688	If those who neglect or forget God are listed among his enemies, what are those who avowedly defy him?
A23688	If we indeed think it a privilege to be the sons of God and fellow- heirs with Christ, why do we grudg at the condition?
A23688	If we will create such to our selves, why do we not create an imaginary satisfaction to them?
A23688	Ionah in a sullen mood would justify his discontent even to God himself, and in spight of that calm reproof, dost thou well to be angry?
A23688	Is Heaven grown less valuable, or Earth more then it was then?
A23688	Is any dissatisfied with the hard- ships or laboriousness of his life?
A23688	Is any man despised or deserted by his friends?
A23688	Is any opprest with infamy and reproch?
A23688	Is there any evil( i. e. of punishment) in the city, and the Lord hath not don it?
A23688	Lastly do''s any man labor under the bitterest of all sorrows, importunate temtations to, or a wounded spirit for sin?
A23688	Nay who have not many additionals for delight and pleasure?
A23688	Now whence is it that we so constantly, so frequently find the good, the benign efficacy of these things, and so seldom, so rarely the evil?
A23688	Perhaps he may have mist some few nights sleep: but what is that to a twelve- months, or perhaps a whole lives enjoying it?
A23688	Shall a man contend with his Maker?
A23688	Shall not the judg of all the earth do right?
A23688	So that God may well upbraid us as he did Israel, Offer it now to thy governor, will he be pleas''d with it?
A23688	Socrates lookt with trouble and jealousy on himself when ill men commended him, saying what ill have I don?
A23688	Surely we may well say with David, Is this after the manner of men, O Lord?
A23688	T is manifest we have all received abundantly from Gods hand, but what has he had from ours?
A23688	T is possible his stomach and his meat have not alwaies bin ready together; but how much oftner have they met to his delight?
A23688	T was Elkanahs question to Hannah in her disconsolation, Am not I better to thee then ten Sons?
A23688	Then how importunate are we in our petitions?
A23688	WHAT a madness is it then for men to be so desperatly bent against their interest and duty, as to renounce even their ease too for company?
A23688	Was he contradicted, and shall we expect to be humor''d and compli''d with?
A23688	We have no assurance that the same occasion shall not recur, but with what face can we then resume that entercourse which in the interval we despised?
A23688	What a dreadful pressure was that which wrung from him that bloody sweat?
A23688	What a madness is it then for us to expose our selves to be pierc''d and wounded by every temporal adversity, who have so impenetrable an armour?
A23688	What a shame is it then that we should spend our breath in sighs and out- cries?
A23688	What a soldier is he like to make, that will take no share of the hazards and hardships of His General?
A23688	What a value do''s a gasping despairing soul put upon a small parcel of that time, which before he knew not how fast enough to squander?
A23688	What imaginable use is there of patience, where there is nothing to suffer?
A23688	What is it but interpretatively to deny either his wisdom, or his goodness, or both?
A23688	What is there below the sun worthy his notice, much less his desires, that hath a Kingdom above it?
A23688	What may we think were his apprehensions in the Garden, when he so earnestly deprecated that which was his whole errand into the world?
A23688	What shall we say?
A23688	What son is he( saith the Apostle) whom the Father chastiseth not?
A23688	Who is there that if he ransack his conscience, shall not find guilts enow to justify God in the utmost severities towards him?
A23688	Who is there that when he has most studiously recollected his miseries, may not find some or other that apparently equals, if not exceeds him?
A23688	Whom have I in heaven but thee: and there is none upon earth that I desire in comparison of thee?
A23688	Why should a Person who is adopted by the King of Kings, thus languish and pine?
A23688	Why then should that which was so desirable to them, appear so formidable to us?
A23688	With what an humble bashfulness should we then sue for any thing, who have no argument to invite the least donation?
A23688	Would any man in his wits tell another he will cut his throat, and then expect he should furnish him with a knife for it?
A23688	and cast him into that inexplicable agony, the horror whereof was beyond the comprehensions of any, but his who felt it?
A23688	and had not death some harbingers to prepare us or him, what a surprising guest would he be to us?
A23688	and then as the wise man speaks, whose voice shall the Lord hear?
A23688	are these his doings?
A23688	do''s any man denounce war, and yet expect from his adversary all the caresses, the obligements of friendship?
A23688	from what despicable beginnings have many arriv''d to the most splendid conditions?
A23688	how profuse in our vowes and promises?
A23688	or why should we so vehemently deprecate, what they so earnestly invited?
A23688	was not our whole race tainted in our first Parent?
A23688	what tragical stories of them do our memories present us with?
A23697	1. so we may demand of these zealous Invaders, where is the bill of assignment, by which that right was transferr''d to them?
A23697	15. have I need of mad men?
A23697	18. but now we gird our selves and go whither we will; and alass, what use do many of us make of this freedom?
A23697	25. Who then can be saved?
A23697	3. and what can he want who possesses him who is all things?
A23697	3. may yet startle at Esays, who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?
A23697	41. whet his glittering Sword?
A23697	47. how solicitous are they to repair that error, and leave nothing to the mercy of a Law- quirk?
A23697	50. so verified to have our God in this sense, such a one as our selves?
A23697	9. and shall we hope he will connive at it in Christians?
A23697	9. is very pertinent, Who did sin, this man or his Parents?
A23697	AND if this Inquisition be impartially made, who among us can plead not guilty?
A23697	AND indeed if we examine the original of this kind of Sorrow, what is there that an with any face pretend to an acceptation?
A23697	AND now who can suspect that a cause so rightly dispos''d, should miss of its effect?
A23697	Alas what propriety had all their legal purifications towards the cleansing of the mind?
A23697	Alas, is it not enough to be at distance where we differ, but must we be so also where we agree?
A23697	Alas, is not the whole circuit of Secular things wide enough to contain this swelling humour?
A23697	Alas, what stupid folly has possest men?
A23697	And aemulate the Angelical obedience and purity, as much as bliss?
A23697	And can he imagine we have any such Precept, as lye not one to another, or any such penalty upon the infringer, as exclusion from the new Ierusalem?
A23697	And can they be proud of that Vertue which the Devil himself will allow them?
A23697	And can we think it sufficient to atone an incensed Majesty, that we love our own ease, while yet we love our sin so much better?
A23697	And do we daily thus see Ishmael mocking Isaac, and shall we not think it time to cast out the Bond- woman and her Son?
A23697	And how does it reproach the slightness of our sleepy heartless addresses?
A23697	And how great an ardency is required to this intercession?
A23697	And how wretched, how deplorable is this state?
A23697	And it cries out with Esay too, Who can dwell with everlasting Fire?
A23697	And now are all these worth no regard, if they are not, why did we exclaim so loudly when we wanted them?
A23697	And now in such a distress, who would not think that such a necessity should have become our vertue?
A23697	And think themselves good enough when they are as bad as he wishes them?
A23697	And why should not our more worthy Hopes excite as great an earnestness?
A23697	Are not our Persons at freedom; deliver''d from that kind word, and unkind thing, SECURING?
A23697	Are there not Pomps and Vanities of the world enough to entertain this one Lust, but must this Moabite be brought into the Sanctuary?
A23697	Are we not also restor''d to all those spiritual advantages which we once profest so much to value?
A23697	Be Adulterous in act, that did not first transgress in his desire?
A23697	But what need we travel beyond the Alps to find out that, which every where presents its self?
A23697	Can he imagine that God sends forth an irresistible strength against some sins, whilest in others he permits men a power of repelling his Grace?
A23697	Can it be Incense in his nostrils, to have our Dunghils displayed?
A23697	Can we hope to bind Gods hands with Wit hs and Straws?
A23697	Can we not be elevated enough unless we trample upon all that is holy, and make Religion Factor for our Ambition?
A23697	Children with their Parents?
A23697	Do we as passionately desire to do Gods will, as that God should do ours?
A23697	Do we expect to reign hereafter, and yet depose our selves before hand here?
A23697	First, for excessive Fare, if a man be not excessive too in the eating, what does he enjoy of it?
A23697	For alas, what part of wild fury was there in the Heathen Bacchanals, which we have not seen Equall''d if not Exceeded by some intoxicated zealots?
A23697	Good God, how might true vital Christianity at this day have flourisht, if we would have bestowed our pains the right way?
A23697	Hast thou in all, or any of these estates been thus affected for thy self?
A23697	How light are our heaviest, how momentary our most lasting Afflictions, if balanced with that eternal weight of Glory?
A23697	How many Servants have on this score been at defiance with their Masters?
A23697	How must it then affront and baffle the enticements of sin, when we compare its empty vanishing pleasures with those solid and durable joys?
A23697	How shall he be perjured that fears an oath?
A23697	How shall he kill that dares not be angry?
A23697	If the first sparks of ill were quencht within, what possibility is there they should ever break out into a flame?
A23697	If this fairer and more specious part of us were thus reprovable, how obnoxious were the other?
A23697	Indeed, what encouragement had those poor creatures to receive a Religion from their Oppressors?
A23697	Is so glorious a prize annext to the victory, and will it not animate the faintest heart, and feeblest hands to the combate?
A23697	It cries out with Ioseph, How shall I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
A23697	Men of common reason would be asham''d to use such frivolous cavils: but who can without horror hear them from profest Christians?
A23697	Must we always waste our strength in forging shackles for our selves?
A23697	Nay, has he not moreover( in the Scripture style) made it drunk with blood?
A23697	Now what other employment of wealth is there( after competent accommodations are provided) which can contribute to a mans Felicity?
A23697	Or defraud that permits not himself to covet?
A23697	Or that what has so many tenures in us, should be finally disseis''d?
A23697	Or the sword of the Spirit to subdue all to the obedience of Christ?
A23697	Or what cruelty in their most barbarous rites, which has not been matcht by the inhumanity of dissenting Christians?
A23697	Or who reverences a man for the sharpness of that Sword wherewith he commits his Paricide?
A23697	Our iniquities are upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we live?
A23697	Shall the sword devour for ever?
A23697	Shall these I say be so slight and inconsiderable, as not to hinder his ascent to the hill of the Lord?
A23697	Snuff at his service, and say, What a weariness is it?
A23697	Suffer every the vilest lust to rule over us?
A23697	That this so auspicious Planet should be counter- influenc''t by any malevolent Star?
A23697	The essence and being of Christianity is practice; and according to that Test and proof thereof, where almost can it be said to Exist in the world?
A23697	This is sure too wild an imagination for any to entertain, yet what more sober one can any pretend, in favour of so stupendous an improvidence?
A23697	Thus saith the Lord, A sword, a sword, it is sharpned to make a sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter, should we then make mirth?
A23697	To arrest his vengeance with such faint and feeble assaults?
A23697	WHEN all this is consider''d, what a sad abode does it make?
A23697	Was it not enough that he engag''d his Omnipotence for us, but must his Omniscience also be prest upon the same service?
A23697	What Lions can we fear in the way which this hope is not Sampson enough to encounter?
A23697	What a Piety is this that we must owe to the Devil, while we can be no better than he will let us?
A23697	What a mockery is it for a man to be zealous for God, and rebellious against his King?
A23697	What nicety in cloaths or diet have we cut off in sympathy with the nakedness and hunger of our afflicted brethren?
A23697	What shall we drink?
A23697	What vanity( I fear I may ask what vice) have we substracted, upon the sense of Gods anger?
A23697	Whether these marks of the Beast can ever rank them among the followers of the Lamb?
A23697	Whether they bring Alexanders sword to cut asunder the Gordian knot, to sever between the promise and the condition?
A23697	Who admires the Sagacity of the Viper, that Eats her way through her mothers bowels?
A23697	Who is there that( unless awakened by his personal concernments) seems at all to startle at the noise of publick ruine?
A23697	Why doest thou tread my Courts?
A23697	Why should men wander to seek beggary and emptiness, who may with far less labour be rich at home?
A23697	Ye stand upon the sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every man his neighbours wife, and shall ye possess the land?
A23697	Yet now we have them, who considers them, or is regulated by them?
A23697	Yet what multitudes of men are there engag''d in such chases as this?
A23697	and by what measures do they make their estimates?
A23697	and can we think it will be more modest, when it shall be told that they are only edgeless weapons it hath to encounter?
A23697	and hast thou with him wept sore, and vehemently solicited a recovery?
A23697	and hast thou with loud and earnest cries, appealed to that God to whom vengeance belongs?
A23697	and provide all he could foresee we would wish?
A23697	can we remember that we are candidates for a Kingdom, and yet retain the abject spirits of slaves?
A23697	has thy estate been invaded by Oppression, thy fame by Slander and Detraction?
A23697	how are their precious Souls become so vile in their eyes, that they are the only part of them, which they think below their regard?
A23697	if they are, why are we still as querulous now we have them?
A23697	is it a vertue to have some ineffective regrets to damnation, and such a Vertue too, as shall serve to ballance all our vices?
A23697	knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the later end?
A23697	nay, Wives with their Husbands?
A23697	nay, bring down Heaven to us, and enstate us in undisturb''d unmix''d felicities?
A23697	or can his pure eyes be gratified with such polluted prospects?
A23697	or hast thou been in that condition which is proverbial for setting men to their prayers?
A23697	or that those who would not permit them to enjoy what was their own, meant to help them to any thing better?
A23697	or why should he let those sacred monuments remain among them, to whom all memorials of him serve but as occasions, and incentives to blaspheme him?
A23697	shall we for ever cherish this generation of Vipers to tear out the bowels of our common Mother?
A23697	that God must replant us a Paradise, pluck up every one of the Briers and Thorns which were our native curse?
A23697	that Gods Thunder amidst all its noise carries no bolt?
A23697	why should they think that those who tortured and kill''d their bodies, were really concern''d to save their Souls?
A23775	12. Who can understand his errors?
A23775	5. Who ask, When will the Sabbath be gone, that we may set forth wheat?
A23775	7. what shall then become of those multitudes of men that lye on quite other ends?
A23775	A fourth end is said to be the putting away of cares; but I shall ask what those cares are?
A23775	And alas, how many are there that have thus made themselves the Divels Martyrs?
A23775	And good reason, for he that makes no conscience thus to profane Gods Name, why shall any man believe he makes any of lying?
A23775	And he that ladeth himself with thick Clay: shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee?
A23775	And here think, how unworthy a wretch thou art to have done that which occasioned such torments to him?
A23775	And if he, the Lord of glory suffered thus meekly and unjustly from his own creatures, with what face can we ever complain of any injury done to us?
A23775	And if it shall now be asked, what are the particular acts of this kind which we are to perform?
A23775	And is it not a great despising of God to call him solemnly to judge in such childish, such wretched matters?
A23775	And now, Lord, what can I expect from thee but judgment and fiery indignation, that is indeed the due reward of my sins?
A23775	And now, O Lord, what shall I say, or how shall I open my mouth, seeing I have done these things?
A23775	And of this sort is the flesh, it is an Enemy, at our Doors, shall I say?
A23775	And then, O Lord, what can secure me that my present dislikes of my sins are not rather the effects of my amazing danger then of any real change?
A23775	And therefore how vile an injury do we offer to him if we dare not trust as much upon his promise as we would that of a man?
A23775	And what cause canst thou give, why thou hast thus long escaped, but only because his eye hath spared thee?
A23775	And what cause of that sparing, but his tender compassions towards thee, his unwillingness that thou should''st perish?
A23775	And what is now left but that it utterly sink and we all perish?
A23775	And why take ye thought for raiment?
A23775	And with what face can you in your greatest need beg for his mercy to your Souls, when you would not afford them your own?
A23775	Are they restrained?
A23775	Are ye not much better then they?
A23775	But I would ask such a one, Whether if that man were drinking rank poyson he would pledge him for company?
A23775	But again, thirdly, if he do discern his danger, yet how is he sure he shall then be able to repent?
A23775	But it may perhaps here be asked, What a person that hath already brought himself into such a condition shall do?
A23775	But secondly, suppose we be not out in judging, yet what is there in any of these natural endowments which is worth the being Proud?
A23775	But, Lord, what am I the worst of men, that I should have any part in this attonement, who have so oft despised him and his sufferings?
A23775	Did ever any think to befriend a man by helping to destroy his estate, his credit, his life?
A23775	For first, I would ask any man that means to repent at his death, how he knows he shall have an hours time for it?
A23775	For how can he either confess his Sin, that knowes not his guilt of it?
A23775	For how many times would it cut, and burn, and mischief it self if it might have every thing it desires?
A23775	For how shall he that swears hourly, look upon an Oath with any reverence?
A23775	For when thou hast either kindled or blowed the fire, what knowest thou whom it may consume?
A23775	For who can stretch his hand against the Lords anointed, and be guiltless?
A23775	How amiable are thy dwellings, O Lord of Hosts?
A23775	How can ye believe, that receive honour one of another?
A23775	How fearfull a guilt is it then to entertain any such thoughts as are in themselves wicked?
A23775	How horrible an injustice is it then, purposely to bring that loss, and damage on him?
A23775	How many of these Sacramental vows have I violated?
A23775	How much does the whitenesse of the Lilly, and the redness of the Rose exceed the white and red of the fairest face?
A23775	How much worse then his very crucifiers?
A23775	How often have I turned my back in the day of battel?
A23775	How shall one so ungodly stand in thy Judgement, or such a sinner in the Congregation of the Righteous?
A23775	I am a dog, how shall I presume to take the childrens bread?
A23775	I have sinned: What shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men?
A23775	I presume there is no man would willingly undergo this from another, and why then should thou offer it to him?
A23775	If God be for us who can be against us?
A23775	If I be a Master, saith God, where is my fear?
A23775	If thou Lord shouldst be extream to mark what is done amiss, O Lord, who may abide it?
A23775	If thou, Lord, shouldst be extream to mark what is done amiss, O Lord, who may abide it?
A23775	If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
A23775	Is it not a little one?
A23775	Is it not a most ravishing pleasure to him that hath any bowels, to see the joy that a seasonable alms brings to a poor wretch?
A23775	LORD, why abhorrest thou my soul, and hidest thy face from me?
A23775	My Soul is a thirst for God, even for the living God, when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
A23775	Nay, indeed how can it be said they do love at all, who can contentedly let each other run on in a course that will bring them to eternal misery?
A23775	Now examine thy self by this; hast thou this fruit of love to shew?
A23775	O God, wherefore art thou absent from us so long: why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture?
A23775	O God, wherefore art thou absent from us so long?
A23775	O LORD, of whom may I seek for succour but of thee, who for my sins art justly displeased?
A23775	Shalt thou not turn the wicked mens evils into thy Churches good?
A23775	Shalt thou not with thy heavenly policy turn our folly into thy glory?
A23775	Shalt thou suffer the strong Captain of mischief, whom thou once overthrewest, again to inuade thy tents, and to spoil thy Souldiers?
A23775	Shalt thou suffer the wicked Spirits, which be authors and workers of discord, to bear such a swing in thy Kingedome unchecked?
A23775	Suffered such torments in the pursuit of this sin, as would exceed the invention of the greatest tyrant?
A23775	Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
A23775	Therefore in that respect also, the Soul is of the greatest worth; and then what strange madness is it for us to neglect them as we do?
A23775	Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
A23775	WHAT shall I render unto the Lord for all the benefits he hath done unto me?
A23775	What a heavy curse then does every revengful person lay upon himself, when he sayes this Prayer?
A23775	What a multitude of creatures is there, that far surpass man in strength and swiftness?
A23775	What could ye not watch with me one houre?
A23775	What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
A23775	What shall I render unto the Lord for all these benefits he hath done unto me?
A23775	What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
A23775	Wherefore didst thou shed it, but to save sinners?
A23775	Which of you by taking thought can adde one cubit to his stature?
A23775	Whoso hath this worlds goods, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
A23775	Why art thou so heavy, O my Soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A23775	Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say?
A23775	Why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture?
A23775	Why shouldst thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that can not save?
A23775	Will a man rob God?
A23775	Woe to him that encreaseth that which is not his, how long?
A23775	Yet O merciful Jesu, this blood is my only refuge, O let this make my atonement or I perish eternally?
A23775	Yet how many of us fail even in this, how frequent is it to see men, not only neglect to repay curtesies, but return injuries in stead of them?
A23775	and he that keepeth thy s ● ● l, doth not he know it?
A23775	and then how dangerous is the condition of that man that sleeps in an unrepented sin?
A23775	and who can tell that it shall not be his own case?
A23775	be they such as should be put away?
A23775	do we not daily see men snatch''d away in a moment?
A23775	doest thou make it thy constant and greatest care to keep Gods Commandments?
A23775	earnestly labouring to please him to the utmost of thy power, even to the forsakeing of what is dearest to thee in this world?
A23775	how few are there that can finde gratitude, shall I say?
A23775	how it revives and puts new spirits in him, that was even sinking?
A23775	nay patience for such a courtesie?
A23775	or how can he resolve to forsake it, that discerns not himself to have formerly cleaved to it?
A23775	or how canst thou expect thy perswasions should work?
A23775	or what shall we drink?
A23775	or wherewithal shall we be clothed?
A23775	that of pleasing God; let that be thy enquiry when thou goest about any thing, whether it be approved by him?
A23775	to obey him in all things?
A23775	what hurt is it possible for thee to do to another, which can bear any comparison with that thou doest thy self, in losing the pardon of thy sins?
A23775	yet ye have robbed me; yet ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
A23696	22.1?
A23696	ALAS, what is our Exile, if this be our home?
A23696	AND for Bodily Grievances, What Varieties do we meet withal?
A23696	AND how may Fir- trees howl, when Cedars fall?
A23696	AND we may perceive how their Power is bounded?
A23696	ART not thou a Gainer, if after this thy Assault, thou dost in a Holy Indignation, rise up, and fight the more valiantly?
A23696	ART thou afraid of the Power, Malice and Subtility of thy Spiritual Enemies?
A23696	ART thou troubled and dismayed with fears of Death?
A23696	Alas, What are we capable to suffer, in proportion of these Tortures?
A23696	All these Sorrows thou hast escap''d: And many whom thou enviest, have thought thee happier than themselves?
A23696	Am not I better to thee than ten Sons?
A23696	Am not I better to thee than ten Thousand?
A23696	And King Artaxerxes questioning with his Cup bearer Nehemiah, could say, Why is thy Countenance sad, seeing thou art not Sick?
A23696	And can there be worse Names, than Glutton, Drunkard, Conjurer, and Traytor, Blasphemer, Mad- man, Demoniack, and Impostor?
A23696	And canst thou grudge his Challenge of his own?
A23696	And do''st thou grudge to restore what thou borrowest?
A23696	And how can we expect any other but gloomy Weather, chilling Frosts, Storms, and Tempests?
A23696	And if such a Son live and die impenitent, what can answer the Discomfort of that Parent?
A23696	And if the World be dissolved, who can abide it?
A23696	And if thou desire to be Confin''d, why dost thou complain for want of Liberty?
A23696	And is this a proper Character for thee, who professest to sight under his Banner, who is the Conqueror of Death and Hell?
A23696	And lastly, what a strong Cordial is this to all good Hearts, that all which die well, sleep in Jesus?
A23696	And of what use is Wings, if not to flie?
A23696	And shall not my Soul be avenged on such a Nation as this?
A23696	And to cry out of the Sordidness not of the Peril of thy Sin?
A23696	And were it put to thy Choice, Whether thou hadst rather enjoy the Favour of God with extremity of Pain, or continue in his Displeasure with Ease?
A23696	And what Acceptation found they on the Earth?
A23696	And what a comfort is it, that the same Jesus who arose, shall come again and bring all his with him in Glory?
A23696	And what a small Spot of Earth is this, to which thy Shame is confined?
A23696	And what hath Satan gain''d by this Encounter?
A23696	And what is the World without these Comforts?
A23696	And when it is offered thee, canst lay some( tho weak) hold upon it?
A23696	And will he turn that Miscreant of Hell loose to worry thee?
A23696	And wilt thou not allow the Benefactor of Heav''n, to Dispense his Favours as he pleaseth?
A23696	Are not thine Eyes and Hands often lift up to implore mercy?
A23696	Are not thy internal Senses more quick, thy Memory stronger, thy Fancy more active, and thy Understanding more apprehensive?
A23696	Art thou a Christian?
A23696	Art thou come to torment me before the time?
A23696	Art thou not effectually, tho not perfectly called out of the World, and corrupt Nature?
A23696	Art thou not heartily sorry that thou canst be no more grieved for thy Sin?
A23696	Art thou troubled that a Stumbling block is remov''d out of thy way to Happiness?
A23696	BUT how frequently proved often the contrary?
A23696	BUT is this so vexatious a Case?
A23696	BUT tell me, notwithstanding, Art thou truly serious with thy God?
A23696	But after all this, art thou such as thou accusest thy self, defective in thy Repentance?
A23696	But confidently appear at the Bar, where we are assur''d of a discharge?
A23696	But hadst thou not Cares attended''em?
A23696	But hath he not given thee a supply in other Faculties?
A23696	But how much more would she say, Mine Eyes wake, and my Heart also?
A23696	But to be driven to forsake Parents, Kinsfolk, Friends, how sad a Case must it needs be?
A23696	But what do I speak of Mortals, whose greatest Purity might be blurr''d with some Imperfections?
A23696	But what do I speak of the Future?
A23696	But what his Machinations are, how can we know, or prevent?
A23696	But when Labour and Sorrow are added to the Weight, how can we but sink under the Burden?
A23696	But when we think of a happy restitution of all things; how can we but rejoice in trembling?
A23696	But where is the Man, that loves thee for thy self, for being Vertuous, divested of all By- respects?
A23696	But who are there thou art so sorry to part with?
A23696	CANST thou but love thy self so well, that when thou seest a Pardon held forth to stretch forth thy Hand, and take it?
A23696	COMFORTABLE Expressions, thou confessest, to those that are capable of them: But what is this to me, that am neither Penitent nor Believer?
A23696	Can I hear any more the voice of Singing- Men, and Singing- Women?
A23696	Can not the Time ● justly challenge thee as accessary to their Misery?
A23696	Can this seem averse to thee, when the Son of God was in the Wilderness forty Days, and forty Nights, under the Tempter?
A23696	Can thy Servant taste what I eat, or what I drink?
A23696	Canst thou deny, thou hast a real, though weak Appetite to the means, and degrees of it?
A23696	Canst thou fear he will condemn thee for those sins which he hath given his blood to expiate?
A23696	Canst thou fear he will doom thee to death, who dyed to give thee life?
A23696	Canst thou fear the rigour of that Justice which he hath so fully satisfied?
A23696	Canst thou in a sense of thine own Misery close with thy Saviour?
A23696	Canst thou not read God''s Indulgence in thine own Disposition?
A23696	Canst thou prostrate thy self before him, as a miserable Object of his Grace and Mercy?
A23696	Canst thou think him less Merciful, than mighty?
A23696	Canst thou throw thy self into the Arms of his Mercy?
A23696	Canst thou trust him with thy Soul, and relie upon him for Forgiveness and Salvation?
A23696	Confess now, if this be not in effect thy Case?
A23696	Couldst thou think that a Cottage not strongly built, and standing so bleak in the very Mouth of the Winds, could for ever hold firm and strong?
A23696	DID''ST thou not know, That Riches have Wings to fly away?
A23696	DID''ST thou value thy Friend for Wit, Complaisance and kind Offices?
A23696	DO we not find Ravings and Frenzies the Attendants of over Watchfulness?
A23696	DOES not many Rivulets from the main Channel, leave the Stream shallow?
A23696	DOST thou droop under Old Age?
A23696	DOST thou tremble at the thoughts of Judgment?
A23696	Did he follow with Applause, whilst thou wert hooted at by the Multitude?
A23696	Did he honour thee, when the World despised thee?
A23696	Did not the Multitude say, He is mad and hath a Devil?
A23696	Did thy Heart say, What if we should part?
A23696	Did you not take each other upon Terms of Re- delivery, when call''d for?
A23696	Did''st thou conceive, that Grace would put thee into a constant and perpetual invariable Condition of Soul, whil''st thou art on this side Heav''n?
A23696	Did''st thou so affect her, that thou would''st not have her Soul Glorious?
A23696	Didst thou not ov ● ● enjoy this Blessing?
A23696	Do but turn thine Ear from the Reception, and what art thou the worse?
A23696	Do''st thou not hear thy Saviour say, How hardly shall they that have Riches enter into the Kingdom of God?
A23696	Do''st thou not see the Infant that can not go alone, how fast he clings to the hand of his Mother; more trusting to her help, than his own Strength?
A23696	Do''st thou think to find God where thou goest?
A23696	Dost thou not Pray daily to thy Father in Heaven, to Lead thee n ● t into Temptation?
A23696	Dost thou not cast thy self upon the Lord Jesus, and depend upon his free All sufficiency for Pardon and Salvation?
A23696	Dost thou not endeavour to be in all things approved to God, and confirmed to thy Saviour?
A23696	Dost thou not inwardly abhor sinful ways, and think of what thou wert with Detestation?
A23696	Dost thou not know by thee stands the Victorious Lyon of the Tribe of Judah, whom that infernal Fiend dare not look in the Face?
A23696	Dost thou not many times sigh for thine own Insanity?
A23696	Dost thou not truly desire, that God would Renew a right Spirit within thee?
A23696	Dost thou rest contented in this condition, and not complain of it as the greatest Misery?
A23696	For behold, this self- same thing that ye sorrowed after a Godly sort, what Carefulness is wrought in you?
A23696	For his Powerful and Merciful Cure of Demoniacks, blazon''d for a Fellow that Casts out Devils through Beelzebub the Prince of Devils?
A23696	GOD hears him; Rebecca Conceives: But when she felt that early Combat of her strugling Twins, she can say, If it be so, why am I thus?
A23696	HAST thou freedom to thine own Thoughts?
A23696	HATH God taken away thy Sight?
A23696	HATH not the loss of thine Eyes freed thee of a World of Sorrows?
A23696	HOW easie is it for thee to see God''s Hand chastising thee by another Man''s Sin?
A23696	HOW many Pagans have we read of, that have died resolutely for their Country, cheerfully sacrificing themselves to the Publick?
A23696	HOW many invite the violence of Death, and if refus''d, do, as Ignatius threatned he would do to the Lyons, force his Assault?
A23696	Had Daniel, and his three Companions of the Captivity ever attained honour in their Native Land?
A23696	Had Joseph been great, if not transplanted into Egypt?
A23696	Had he not put that value upon it, he would not have honour''d it with his own Stile; calling himself, The Ancient of Days?
A23696	Had not thy Sorrow a relation to God, why wouldst thou Sigh to Heaven?
A23696	Hadst thou never seen the Face of the Elements, what Expressions could have made thee apprehensive of the wonderful Works of thy Creator?
A23696	Hast thou a Child disorderly and debauch''d?
A23696	Hast thou a Child well dispos''d, well govern''d?
A23696	Hast thou a Son stubborn, and unnatural?
A23696	Hast thou doubled thy Humiliation, for the Reduplication of thine Offence, and sought God more instantly with an unfeigned Contrition?

A23696	Were this Condition offer''d for Temporal Riches, who would be Poor?
A23696	Were you not, in Uniting, put in mind of Dissolution?
A23696	What Difference is there betwixt thee and them, but that their Travel is voluntary, thy Exile constrain''d?
A23696	What Hollow Coughs, weaknesses of Retention, Expulsion, Digestion, and Decay of Senses?
A23696	What Power is their in any Creature, which is not derived from the Almighty?

A23716	And he sent Messengers to him saying, VVhose is the land?
A23716	And i ● this all the Lord came hither for?

A23716	And is this to be a partner in his Crucifixion, to partake onely the Sacrament of Crucifixion?
A23716	And is''t not so vvith us?
A23716	And must his Votaries also be of the Herd?

A23716	And now could any from the dead have given us such a frighting account?
A23716	And now how poor a wish was that of our Rich man?
A23716	And now is not the kindness and the condescension of Friendship in his expressions too, when he saith, greater love than this hath no man?
A23716	And now, O Lord, what sort of men among us hath thy goodness wrought upon, and made repent?

A23716	And then what Cranes will force out thence, and wind up such a Soul into the practises and expectations of Plety?
A23716	And then what can one coming from the dead perswade?
A23716	And then where are the men that ● ought him?
A23716	And then why should the Ax be now Laid to the Root of the Tree?
A23716	And therefore with a deal of scorn they question, Do any of the Rulers or the Pharisees believe in him?
A23716	And thou that makest so ill requests for thy on self, how wilt thou pray for them that despitefully use thee& persecure thee?
A23716	And truly, when men once depart from Uniformity, what measures can they set themselves of changing?
A23716	And what shall give a check where difficulty does provoke, and torments do ingratiate?
A23716	And what was there in this Cup which so empoyson''d it as to make it dreadful to the Son of God?
A23716	And when that Crucified offended Enemy shall come there to be their Judge?
A23716	And who could better reveal them to us than the Authour and the God of them?
A23716	And why all this?
A23716	And why not?
A23716	And why should he observe them that can safely break them?
A23716	And wouldest thou say all this to God, if it were put in words at length in thy petition?
A23716	Because God became Man, must Men therefore become Beasts?
A23716	Besides it is most prudent to believe it too, for if there be another World what then?
A23716	But after all this, is he not thy Father that hath bought thee?
A23716	But do these know themselves what manner of Spirit they are of?
A23716	But dost thou refuse thy Cup?
A23716	But he that mortifies sometimes, that does acquaint even his most innocent desires with a denyal, how can unlawful ones assault him?
A23716	But how David their King, vvhen''t was Zorobabel?
A23716	But is there nothing lesse indeed will qualify?
A23716	But then if he will ask his Faith how all these will look to him in the state which is now before his thoughts, what his opinion of them will be then?
A23716	But these are not I, how am I mortified in these?
A23716	But vvhy David their King?
A23716	But why stand I thus to enumerate particulars?
A23716	Christianus verò quid simile?
A23716	Could his Pure Conscience make his Bloody hands undefil''d?
A23716	David inquires as if it were a prodigy to find, b What man is he that lusteth to Live?
A23716	Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- sufferance, not knovving that the goodness of the Lord leads thee to repentance?
A23716	Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate Thee?
A23716	Do not all rather justifie as far as they themselves proceeded?
A23716	First, What the Import of the thing commanded, the Afflicting of the Soul is?
A23716	First, What the way is that the World does wage War in?
A23716	For can my Appetite hope to betray me into superfluities, who have taught my self not to wish for necessaries?
A23716	For what is there that can hinder?
A23716	For what motive is there in Heaven to stir up his appetite, to whom Heaven it self would not be a place of Joy?
A23716	For who dares sin, and who does not repent upon his Death- bed?
A23716	God squeezed into it all the dregs of his Wrath, and man scornfully spits into it?
A23716	Hath he not made thee and establisht thee?
A23716	He did not question, how can God perform with me when I have offered up my Son?
A23716	His Death were our own losse and punishment: And had we no communion in this Death of Christ?
A23716	How can he choose but be appeased towards thee when he shall see thee executing his Sentence even upon thy own self?
A23716	How shall I pardon thee for this?
A23716	I say not who?
A23716	If David never checkt Adonijah, did not at any time displease him, saying, Why hast thou done so?
A23716	If I do offer up whole Hecatombs to God, will that atone for having offered up too plentifully to my Genius?
A23716	If I give God ten thousand Rivers for my overflowing Cups, will the Intemperance be washt away in those?
A23716	If a foul body be abominable to the Lord, shall a foul spirit be less odious?
A23716	If an Apostle become wicked, he is in our Saviours Character a Devil; have I not chosen Twelve, and one of you it a Devil?
A23716	If such have been the beginnings of sufferings, what shall the issues be?
A23716	If the morning dew of the day of punishment have been so full of blood, what shall the Storm and Tempest be?
A23716	If this be but preparative, then what is the full potion, the Cup of Indignation, when all his Violls shall be poured into it?
A23716	If thou delight in that intemperance, which filled his deadly Cup, which Vomited Gall into it, can he delight in thee?
A23716	In answering my call: But vvhy seek we experience of so old a date?
A23716	Indeed how can they choose when Christ does joyn his Intercessions?
A23716	Is it Secondly, because you know not what it is to dye the second Death?
A23716	Is it because it may be they are grown so dear to me, that I am Crucified in their destruction?
A23716	Is it fit to honour that Child with Iniquity and Loosnesse, that did come into the World upon designs of Holinesse, to settle a most strict Religion?
A23716	Is not he thy Father that hath bought thee?
A23716	Is this all he can do after so many Centuries of the abode of him and his Religion among us?
A23716	It were in vain to ask what else such men can be good for?
A23716	Lord, shall we command fire to come down from Heaven to consume them, even as Elias did?
A23716	Must I leave all these for things that I have had no tast nor rellish of?
A23716	My Soul thirsteth for thee?
A23716	Nay at the last, because that Rehoboam vvould not ease their taxes, all Israel cry out, VVhat portion have we in David?
A23716	Nor is there ever any pleasure in some vices, what is there in the dismal Wishes of mans imprecating passion?
A23716	Now does this Expiation as theirs did, require afflicting of the Soul in its attendance, or was that but a Ceremony of their Rite?
A23716	Now have Children any other way to know their Parents, then to let their Father shew them, and their Elders tell them?
A23716	Now he that will forgive to the bounds of necessity, but never into favour, there he will stay his hand, will so much serve his turn from God?
A23716	Now how comes this to passe?
A23716	Now shall we call this being Crucified?
A23716	Now there is nothing then that can prefer these to your choyce but the Death only; and Oh will ye without and against all Temptation, Will ye dye?
A23716	Now they that refuse to do themselves this Honour that the Angel could not do, to comfort their God in his Agony, how will he b ease himself on them?
A23716	Now what is there of God the Pious man hath not the present uses off?
A23716	Now what strange kind of impiety is this that hath none of the natural affections of it?
A23716	Now who would seek the Living God among the dead?
A23716	Now why do you choose thus onely in Sin and Hell?
A23716	Now would a man do this to entertain, and feed, and dresse the Carcasse of his vanquisht, his dead Enemy?
A23716	Now''t were in vain to ask Solomons question, What good is there in this?
A23716	Of these in order; and First, what this person is?
A23716	Oh why will you rather dye?
A23716	Or are they not good rational Discoursers too, who labour to throw out a thing as false and vain, because''t is necessary?
A23716	Or dost thou think thou dost not say as much in praying so?
A23716	Or else hath the Old Man no Soul?
A23716	Or he gape for intemperate satisfactions, who will not let thirst call, but shuts his mouth against it?
A23716	Or shall I think to expiate an adultery with a Child?
A23716	Or should we cast off the relation and tenounce all the obedience due to it, because we are not sure of it our selves?
A23716	Quid hoc mali est cujus reus gaudet, cujus accusatio votum est,& poena foelicitas?
A23716	Quid hoc mali est quod naturalia mali non habet?
A23716	S. Austin asks, Quis ergo nisi infidelis negaverit fuisse Christum apud inferos?
A23716	Secondly, what the strengths of Faith are?
A23716	Should we see one that had no other madness, no other sickness but his sin do thus, would it not be more horrid?
A23716	That c Cup which made him fall upon his face to deprecate, will he partake in as the pledge of mutuall love?
A23716	That ill language that is banded to and fro?
A23716	The Second was, that coming which the Prophet Isay did foresee, and in the astonishment of Vision askt, a Who is this that comes from Edom?
A23716	The first is, What sort of men those are that walk as Enemies to the Crosse, and wherein their hostility does expresse it self?
A23716	The other Schismaticks that divide from the World by cutting off the World from them: do they seek God that are diverted by so many Saints and Angels?
A23716	Thirdly, how far the Believer must pursue his Conquest?
A23716	Till by a miraculous and signal providence he had establisht, settled us?
A23716	To the good kind well- spoken part?
A23716	Were it a reasonable argument; because I see that the vvhole Countrey''s till''d, vvhy should I not break up the holy places, and plow the Temple?
A23716	What Usefulnesse and Efficacy this Duty had upon that time in which it was prescribed?
A23716	What a kind of evil''s this, which he that is found guilty of is glad?
A23716	What answer do we make to all these Messengers of Death that come so thick about us?
A23716	What can then become of those for whom God does contrive that they shall not escape?
A23716	What can we say to prove it would not be a mercy to us to be suddenly cut off, even in the midst of our iniquity?
A23716	What height is there which Amibtion will not flie at, since it made this spirit aim at an equality with the b Most High?
A23716	What is it then?
A23716	What purity do those Commandements require, which they must not hear with any thing that was unclean about them?
A23716	What the Importance of the thing commanded is?
A23716	What vvork is here for discipline?
A23716	What was it else to change God into stocks and stones?
A23716	What will he not sacrifice to Christs Command?
A23716	What wounds and what Massacres must the State expect from them that stab and murder it with the same Zeal that the Priest kills a Sacrifice?
A23716	When they shall look on him that they have pierced and Crucified upon it?
A23716	When this Crosse shall usher in the great Assize?
A23716	When thou wilt cast a shameful spewing on his glory too, if he own such a Friend?
A23716	When to be like God, and to be perfect as our Father: ● Heaven is perfect, is to be most sordid and unworthy of a Gentl ● ● an?
A23716	Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the most high God?
A23716	Whether that for ever do reach us?
A23716	Whom have I in Heaven but Thee?
A23716	Why do ye not understand my speech?
A23716	Why is he red in his Apparrel, and his garments like him that treadeth in the Wine- fat?
A23716	Why should he covet more that hath learnt to give away, and want that which he hath?
A23716	Why such great Agonies of the Holy Jesus, when I can not find in my heart to bear a little strictnesse for it?
A23716	Why was I Crucified but that thou might''st be aton''d and he be pardon''d?
A23716	Why will ye Dye?
A23716	Why will ye Dye?
A23716	Wickednesse as outragious as ever?
A23716	Will he be tempted with Excesses, or hearken to the invitations of Luxury, that will not hear his bowells when they croak for bread?
A23716	Will our Friends, think you, keep it off us, and secure us?
A23716	Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousand Rivers of Oyle?
A23716	With what effectuall Sermon will he then Preach to himself against his sins?
A23716	Would you see how little value all those interests that recommend this World, are of to Christians?
A23716	Would you see what Humility and lowliness becomes a Christian?
A23716	Would you see what one of these will venture at?
A23716	Yea more contracted Stench and Putresaction?
A23716	Yea, this he hath present possession of, which my third Proposition and my Text asserts, in saying, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A23716	Yet that the sinner does so is the ground of Gods Expostulation here, Why will you dye?
A23716	Yet where are any that do aim at doing any more?
A23716	Yet where were any others that did seek him?
A23716	all our Mount Olivet and Golgotha be onely the Lords Table and his Entertainment?
A23716	and Worship into most abominable wickednesse?
A23716	and after such Redemption of your persons is there no redemption of your Will from perishing?
A23716	and all his hopes sickned and dy''d?
A23716	and as if they also were set for the fall of many, throwing every body down that but stands neer them, either in their way or prospect?
A23716	and can I make my self merry with nothing else but that which made him dye?
A23716	and canst thou choose that he so dreads and deprecates?
A23716	and confute this Scripture; and make good that they do overcome the World most easily who never heard that Jesus was the Son of God?
A23716	and crucifie your selves rather than have it?
A23716	and for that momentary and unclean delight give up the lovely and first issue of my lawful Bed?
A23716	and having us''d him most despightfully, will you therefore use his favours so?
A23716	and how it does improve each such advantage till it gets a perfect Conquest?
A23716	and how it manages that force so as to get advantage over men?
A23716	and if all that were well, why do not we repent of our Allegiance and Lovalty?
A23716	and in this case what method will be useful?
A23716	and is this to be Crucified with Christ?
A23716	and long practice and acquaintance hath riveted them into my very heart?
A23716	and not let his Death and Passion do you any good?
A23716	and others in those cursed Principles that did inflict it, as they ever were?
A23716	and punishing his Enemies although they be thy Members?
A23716	and reject the Messiah, and yet go unpunished?
A23716	and the foulest actions Religion?
A23716	and the same frost possesse you but to hear him?
A23716	and then shall I do so?
A23716	and when he durst not meet the apprehensions, wilt thou stand the storm?
A23716	and when the one will make thee drink it up, the other throws it in thy face?
A23716	and which I also see that very few venture for?
A23716	and why may not divisions be as infinite as mens phansies?
A23716	and will have War with God because he is their Enemy?
A23716	and will you dye because you may, and I desire you should live?
A23716	and will you dye into this state eternally?
A23716	are not some men as violent in those wicked practises that merited our former Ruine?
A23716	are not the Spots upon us still?
A23716	are the sinners expectations so tempting?
A23716	are there Racks and Tortures in this discipline?
A23716	are we like to fall?
A23716	are we so assur''d of worsting God Almighty, that we will resist whatever makes towards a peace with him?
A23716	are we thus resolv''d to be reveng''d upon the Triumphs of the Crosse?
A23716	as you have slain his Person, will you Crucifie his Kindnesse too?
A23716	be comforted in their Destruction at his coming as a King in Executions?
A23716	because it was the Cup of the Lords fury, and Man''s also?
A23716	because thou wast to suffer God Almightys Indignation in it, and the Sinners hatred for it?
A23716	but most despitefully treads down that Cross while thou art sinking under it laden with their weight?
A23716	but what does the Christian like this?
A23716	by raising Trophies to themselves for that which raised a Gibbet to their Saviour?
A23716	by whom he did conveigh all the full measures of his Graces; and now what effect of these is there in us?
A23716	c How will he laugh at their Calamity?
A23716	contemn his methods of Salvation, his divine Acts of making you for ever Blessed?
A23716	couldst thou imagine I vvould not sustein thee in the doing vvhat I bid thee do?
A23716	do fear or hope, or long for, and pursue?
A23716	dost thou, communicate thy Agonies in Eucharistick wine?
A23716	embrace that which does not, can not satisfie?
A23716	for could his Kingdome disappear and be to seek, of vvhom the Lord had said, I have sworn once by my Holiness, I will not fail David?
A23716	for is it not more that these Torments should be so terrible to him than that they should be insupportable to us?
A23716	giving themselves a value for the thing which hath such infinite diminution in it, that it made the Son of God esteemed worse than Barabbas?
A23716	hadst thou no Blood to shed for them?
A23716	hath a Spear prickt them to the heart, and no blood nor no water, no tears gush out thence?
A23716	hath it made no issue for some hearty Sorrow to purle out?
A23716	have I none there but my offended Adversary God?
A23716	have we not reason so much more to fear the goodness?
A23716	his blest Providence serve onely to afford us arguments against it self; help to confute it self because it hath so prospered, doth still suffer us?
A23716	how it charges, breaks the forces of the World, and does enable the Believer to overcome?
A23716	if all that were well, what hath thy goodness done, O Lord, that hath reverst it all?
A23716	if the first apprehensions did assault thee with such killing fury, can we resolve to stand the storm?
A23716	if this Cup passe from thee, what will the Cup of Blessing profit us?
A23716	in dayes when Scoffers appear, f that walk after their own lusts, and say, where is the promise of his coming?
A23716	is he all Flesh?
A23716	is the love of Christ so injurious to us that we will be Enemies to the Expresses of it?
A23716	is there not as much warning in this prospect, as if our selves had tasted all of it?
A23716	is your Saviour and Life it self so hateful to you?
A23716	leave all in present for some future hopes which I have no great confidence of compassing if I should try?
A23716	let such consider, whether they are likely to escape that which is set and ordein''d for them by God?
A23716	make all his plenties turn to poison in us, and invenome us against himself?
A23716	make his miraculous mercies furnish us for the abuse and provocation of him?
A23716	not the shame nor fear, tergiversations or repentance, or deplorings of it?
A23716	nothing but Tears?
A23716	nothing of value that can bribe your choyce against it?
A23716	nothing that can betroth you into a desire of Life, and take you off from your resolves to dye?
A23716	one not out of Abraham''s but Gods Bosom?
A23716	or account we our concern and share in that lesse valuable than in that of our Beast?
A23716	or be impatient if I had not respects and the Attendances of Pomp from one upon the Gibbet?
A23716	or be troubled if the person on the Crosse did not do fitting reverences to me?
A23716	or do they cleave to God, when their devotion embraceth stocks and stones?
A23716	or if thy transgressions be multiplyed, what doest thou to him?
A23716	or shall I venture upon bearing that to all Eternity which that Son was not able to support some hours?
A23716	or that do cleave to him novv?
A23716	or what doe Christians mean when they doe break and tear this Precept and themselves?
A23716	or what enjoyment?
A23716	or with whom does he dwell?
A23716	prest it thus?
A23716	shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A23716	shall I give my first- born for my Transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A23716	shall I think to scape them when he spared not his Son?
A23716	should we account our selves to suffer in our Beast?
A23716	so, that recovery from that condition may be well, as''t is in Scripture often called a Rising?
A23716	such as Death and the Grave do add?
A23716	that did retrive him to us?
A23716	that go to act their Villanies with Devotion, and go to their own Execution as to Martyrdom?
A23716	that it should be made so indispensable an ingredient of its performances, tyed to it by a Statute for ever?
A23716	that terminate divinest Worship in a creature?
A23716	that thou didst pray against thy Cup so earnestly, because of Man''s ingrateful enmity to it?
A23716	the deluge and inundation of Fury?
A23716	the venome, ulcer, and infection about us?
A23716	thou hadst but now bequeathed a Cup to us which was the New Testament in thy Blood, and now wilt thou not shed that Blood?
A23716	tickle, cheer, and heighten my self with Agonies?
A23716	to be a Sanctuary for the prophane, a Cloak for Hypocrites?
A23716	to be accus''d of it is his ambition?
A23716	to make the Vilest creatures Deities?
A23716	to pay such Sacrifices for his sins?
A23716	to save mens Souls or to destroy their lives, yea and Souls too?
A23716	to see Divinity empty it self, and him that is a worm, swell and be puffed up?
A23716	to suffer for it is his happinesse?
A23716	to turn a disease into a God, and a sin into Devotion?
A23716	vvhat principle can they proceed upon vvhich shall engage them to stay any where?
A23716	was it not because thou wert to take a Crosse up which thou couldst not bear the Torments of, and Man will not endure the Blessings of?
A23716	was not that our own?
A23716	we know it was S. Paul, but what?
A23716	what Religion should we be of, if God should raise a Di ● clesian, come to tempt us with the fiery trial?
A23716	what are we the better?
A23716	what do we that may justifie Gods care in sending us so many warnings?
A23716	what is it if it be not suffering?
A23716	what is required in this Injunction Te shall Afflict your Souls?
A23716	what must be the measures of his Victory?
A23716	what prodigy of age is this when Christ the Lo ● d can not be competent to judge either of right, of honour, ● of reason?
A23716	what shall confine or put shores to them?
A23716	what the Afflicting of the Soul contributed to the work of that Day?
A23716	what were we then when we were not?
A23716	what will Hell say to us when one there said, if Lazarus will go they will repent?
A23716	when as there is to be an universal Conflagration, where every Tree that beareth not good Fruit shall be cast in?
A23716	when he disputed?
A23716	when in our times Christians will not be kept from their Excesses by it?
A23716	when my Son went from the essential felicities of my bosome to embrace Agonies, and dy''d for you; why will you also dye?
A23716	when thou hadst just now made thy Death thy Legacy, thy Sacrament, dost thou intreat to scape this death?
A23716	when we do onely mean to make this use of such indulgence, to cherish another Plague in our own hearts?
A23716	where its Strength lyes?
A23716	which they must wash all to receive?
A23716	while it is thus, with what face can we beg of God to keep from us this Plague and grievous sicknesse?
A23716	who knew them more than he that did create them and possess them?
A23716	whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A23716	why must the Blood of God be paid for sin, when I can not afford a little self- denyal for it?
A23716	will be foes to their foes?
A23716	will make it mind and entertain the hopes and Duties of Religion?
A23716	with dy''d garments from Bozrah, travelling in the greatness of his Strength?
A23716	with words of so much bowells?
A23716	would he be so vain, so guilty to provide to deck the Crosse on which he Crucified his Foe?
A23716	would it not exorcize all impious Contrivances?
A23716	would not such a word be a Spell and Charm against unmerciful, inhumane, and unjust Designs?
A23716	yet if I might plead with Thee concerning them, I would enquire what hast thou done here all this while after thy so long abode among us?
A23717	''Till by a miraculous and signal providence he had establisht, settled us?
A23717	1. Who this I here is, I know?
A23717	10. Who is he among you that feareth the Lord, that walketh in darkness& hath no light?
A23717	14. to see if any did understand and seek after God, should he not then have found it here as there?
A23717	16. but neither to look after our obedience, nor indeed to set us any law to obey, as some would have it?
A23717	23. and then, is Christ more inaccessible, and harder to be made a Friend?
A23717	28. the blind men that cried after him and followed him for sight, he asks, believe ye that I am able to do this?
A23717	31, 32. that Abraham and the other must have a life after this; for otherwise how is he yet their God?
A23717	38. and when he findeth them asleep, he says, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
A23717	47. you may find them strugling with his demonstrations to keep off the Evidence, What do we?
A23717	50. how am I straitned?
A23717	7. and talk deceitfully for him?
A23717	A wicked person is the Devil''s house, Sathan dwells there, and is not his house Hell?
A23717	A wretched hope; for how shall the Hills hide him, whose iniquities are like Mountains?
A23717	Able to succour?
A23717	All our Mount Olivet and Golgotha be onely the Lords Table and his Entertainment?
A23717	Among our other Controversies this is one, whether are the worse Subjects?
A23717	And all this was foretold?
A23717	And are they not kind Subjects then who, by promoting Atheism, labour to break down that fence which themselves account necessary?
A23717	And as for the Community of the Nation,''t is true we are as it were risen from the Grave, but have we not brought up with us the Plague sores?
A23717	And as to Heaven the negation is express''d emphatically by a Question, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A23717	And can he be content with such a portion?
A23717	And can the Sinner hope to stand this shock?
A23717	And can the Sinner thirst for the Abyss of this, the Lake that hath no bottom?
A23717	And do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise?
A23717	And do you think that such shall be receiv''d and entertain''d by Christ?
A23717	And hath he not prepared our David so for us?
A23717	And hath there not a greater than Lazarus been with us?
A23717	And he live and be worship''d always in a Stable?
A23717	And he sent Messengers to him saying, Whose is the land?
A23717	And here let us stop a little, and say a word on these expressions, why these things to the eie?
A23717	And how shall we reconcile these expressions?
A23717	And how will he receive and embrace us, who doth thus desire and court us?
A23717	And if a favourite of Heaven shall accuse us to the Lord for that, Then how will he complain of us when we tempt?
A23717	And if all that were well, why do not we repent of our Allegiance and Loyalty?
A23717	And if he be, that question will concern us, Are we stronger than God?
A23717	And if it be a blessed Hope, what will the possession be; if there be happiness in the expectation, what will there be in the fruition?
A23717	And if they do, how many sins shall they have to answer for, besides their own, which, God knows, are an infinity, too many?
A23717	And if they were all one member, where were the body?
A23717	And if thou dost believe them, how is it possible that thou that liv''st in any of those courses which these threats belong to, canst have any hope?
A23717	And in Gods name why do parents give their Children up to God in their first infancy, deliver him so early a possession of them?
A23717	And in this tumult, this riot of faiths, if the Son of man should have come, could he have found any Faith in the Land?
A23717	And indeed where else should we take shelter, but in our Sanctuary?
A23717	And is a Reconciliation with the Lord so hateful to us, that we will be Enemies to the Cross that works it?
A23717	And is it not time for him to retire?
A23717	And is not this directly to believe our selves into Damnation?
A23717	And is such a thing as this fit to go to God, or to be a Spouse of Christ?
A23717	And is this all that men are required to prepare the way of the Lord for?
A23717	And is this all the Lord came hither for?
A23717	And is this to be a Partner in his Crucifixion, to partake onely the Sacrament of Crucifixion?
A23717	And is''t not so with us?
A23717	And must I?
A23717	And must his Votaries also be of the Herd?
A23717	And must we celebrate this Child too like that Calf, because he was born among Brutes?
A23717	And now I have no more to do but onely ask, whether we are assur''d of any other whom on more or safer grounds we have or may believe?
A23717	And now Lord, what is thy servant that thou shouldst thus value him, or what are his performances that thou shouldst buy them at these rates?
A23717	And now could any from the dead have given such a frighting account?
A23717	And now how poor a wish was that of our Rich Man?
A23717	And now, O Lord, what sort of men among us hath thy goodness wrought upon, and made repent?
A23717	And shall I give to Sin or Sathan those services, which he thus values, and thus buys?
A23717	And shall we be such Children to our Father that establisht us?
A23717	And so Peter receiv''d no hurt, but a rebuke; O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
A23717	And so may not men grow past their babies?
A23717	And the Prophet Isaiah speaking of this Day in my Text, says, Is it such a Fast that I have chosen?
A23717	And then I appeal to your own hearts, for what end, think you, he did so desire, and obtain this power?
A23717	And then are not all the miseries of Tophet, the torments of the vale of Hinnom in a Sinner?
A23717	And then how shall we reconcile these considerations, if we put them both together in the Sinners mind?
A23717	And then how will they proceed to the next expression of this Duty?
A23717	And then shall such a person ever hope that God should hear his Praiers at any time, who is displeas''d because the Lord do''s not deny him?
A23717	And then what Cranes will force out thence, and wind up such a Soul into the practices and expectations of Piety?
A23717	And then what can one coming from the dead perswade?
A23717	And then where are the men that sought him?
A23717	And then whether is this better, or to do our duty faithfully and trust God?
A23717	And then why should the Ax be now laid to the root of the Tree?
A23717	And then, my Brethren, would not the Hopes of Heaven be able to do somthing with us, when the Hopes of a little know not what''s, will do all this?
A23717	And then, when neither present, past, nor future can work any thing upon him, how is it possible to change him?
A23717	And therefore with a deal of scorn they question, Do any of the Rulers or the Pharisees believe in him?
A23717	And they therefore enter them into a vow of Religion almost as soon as they have them: why all this?
A23717	And this gives me yet occasion to ask, what temtation Sinners can have not to believe, to be willing to come in to Christ and be sav''d?
A23717	And thou that makest so ill requests for thy own self, how wilt thou pray for them that despitefully use thee and persecute thee?
A23717	And to a Soul that is thus taken up, what''s the world, or the miscarriages that are therein?
A23717	And truly very justly; for when is any use of light but in the dark?
A23717	And truly, when men once depart from Uniformity, what measures can they set themselves of changing?
A23717	And what do''s give a right but human Law?
A23717	And what doth all this mean, but describe a person that after seeming amendment returns back again to his courses of sin?
A23717	And what if by withdrawing thus I frequently deprive my self of the society that I was us''d to,& was friendly and delightfull to me?
A23717	And what is the duty in relation to such a season?
A23717	And what may not his poor Church depend upon him for, who purchased to himself his Church with his own bloud?
A23717	And what shall lighten him whose very self is weight?
A23717	And what was there in this Cup which so empoyson''d it as to make it dreadful to the Son of God?
A23717	And what would any man have more?
A23717	And when each party pleaded that theirs was the Faith deliver''d to them, which should they believe?
A23717	And when that Crucified offended Enemy shall come there to be their Judge?
A23717	And whither shall they be doom''d, who do so?
A23717	And who could better reveal them to us than the Author and the God of them?
A23717	And who do''s go to the Physician of Souls to prevent death Eternal?
A23717	And who knoweth whether thou art come to the Kingdom for such a time as this?
A23717	And who then but wretched man would buy damnation at so hard rates?
A23717	And who will be content to be his own Priest in such manner?
A23717	And why all this?
A23717	And why may not divisions be as infinite as mens fancies?
A23717	And why not?
A23717	And why not?
A23717	And why should he observe them that can safely break them?
A23717	And why?
A23717	And why?
A23717	And will you neither be invited into life, nor carried into it?
A23717	And wouldest thou say all this to God, if it were put in words at length in thy petition?
A23717	Are there fears abroad?
A23717	Are we content onely to abstain from something for his sake, but will not do any thing for his, nor Heaven''s sake?
A23717	At least as St Paul asks the wicked Jew, thro breaking the Law dishonorest thou God?
A23717	Because God became Man, must Men therefore become Beasts?
A23717	Besides it is most prudent to believe it too, for if there be another World what then?
A23717	But God has not forbid him Conversation; and why should he be an Anchoret and recluse in the throngs of Cities and of Courts?
A23717	But do these know themselves what manner of Spirit they are of?
A23717	But dost thou refuse thy Cup?
A23717	But hast thou sin''d, and dost thou truly mourn and greive for it?
A23717	But he that mortifies sometimes, that does acquaint even his most innocent desires with a denial, how can unlawful ones assault him?
A23717	But how David their King, when''t was Zorobabel?
A23717	But how can this duty of mourning consist with those so frequent Gospel- Commands to rejoyce in utmost afflictions?
A23717	But how this?
A23717	But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say?
A23717	But if thy eie be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness; if therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness?
A23717	But in the voiage towards heaven how many make shipwrack of a good conscience, because they will not commit themselves to any conduct?
A23717	But is there nothing less indeed will qualify?
A23717	But secondly whose Children are they and like whom, who go on still in their courses of wickedness?
A23717	But then if he will ask his Faith how all these will look to him in the state which is now before his thoughts, what his opinion of them will be then?
A23717	But these are not I, how am I mortified in these?
A23717	But what are all those satisfactions in comparison with the joys of God?
A23717	But what does the Christian like this?
A23717	But what?
A23717	But where''s the Law for these?
A23717	But where, I pray you, are the Luminaries that are to shed this Noon?
A23717	But whether is wiser to believe these, or the God from whom we have these promises, and these experiences, and the other grounds of trust?
A23717	But why David their King?
A23717	But why seek we experience of so old a date?
A23717	But why stand I thus to enumerate particulars?
A23717	But, Lord God, what will not a worldly heart adventure on; what will not a mind undertake, which envies at another, and is greedy for it self?
A23717	Call now, see if there be any that will answer thee, and to which of the Saints wilt thou turn thee?
A23717	Can I desire indeed, when I have him?
A23717	Can I fear the malice of Adversaries?
A23717	Can I want any thing for this life or the life to come, if there be a supply in Christ?
A23717	Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire?
A23717	Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire?
A23717	Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not remember the fruit of her womb?
A23717	Can all his mercies, all his rewards neither procure nor deserve more of us, than onely not to serve the Devil?
A23717	Can we have confidence to present a Strumpet to him for a Bride, and care not that he find us Virgins at the Marriage of the Lamb?
A23717	Can ye not help it?
A23717	Can you perswade the mad man in the feaver to betake himself to the Physician?
A23717	Christianus verò quid simile?
A23717	Could his Pure Conscience make his Bloody hands undefil''d?
A23717	David enquires as if it were a Prodigy to find, What man is he that lusteth to Live?
A23717	Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- sufferance, not knowing that the goodness of the Lord leads thee to repentance?
A23717	Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee?
A23717	Do not all rather justifie as far as they themselves proceeded?
A23717	Do not wounds require, and qualify for a Chirurgeon?
A23717	Do not you think that most men miscarry out of want of that which resolution would be able to effect with its own strength?
A23717	Do vows so straiten us, that we can not endure the obligations to be happy?
A23717	Does judgment threaten an utter desolation, make solitude about us, and drive us into d the place of dragons, in Davids words?
A23717	Does not weariness and burdens dispose a man for ease and rest?
A23717	Dost thou forsake?
A23717	Dost thou not see him that laid the lost sheep on his shoulders as ready to take thee up?
A23717	Dost thou not think there is some joy in this estate of thine, when it can make a joy in Heaven?
A23717	First, What the Import of the thing commanded, the Afflicting of the Soul is?
A23717	First, What the way is that the World does wage War in?
A23717	For Secondly, if it be lawful otherwise, I might ask, for whom?
A23717	For as long as men apprehend no danger in their courses, how can we expect that they should leave them?
A23717	For can my Appetite hope to betray me into superfluities, who have taught my self not to wish for necessaries?
A23717	For could his Kingdom disappear and be to seek; of whom the Lord had said, I have sworn once by my Holiness, I will not fail David?
A23717	For does any man loose a child?
A23717	For how shall the eye bear that which the shoulders must sink under, which onely pillars can support?
A23717	For how should he appear by those inflictions to detest Sin, if he should accept the Sinner that amends not?
A23717	For if the truth of God hath more abounded thro my lie unto his glory; why also yet am I judged as a sinner?
A23717	For is it not time for Thee to arise, O Lord, when thy resting place is destroying?
A23717	For it was worth the death of the Son of God; Christ was content to be crucified to compass it, and can not we be content to purify our selves for it?
A23717	For what are the pleasures of earth to the things of God, not worthy to be the expressions, no nor the foils of them?
A23717	For what is there that can hinder?
A23717	For what motive is there in Heaven to stir up his appetite, to whom Heaven it self would not be a place of Joy?
A23717	For who dares sin, and who does not repent upon his Death- bed?
A23717	For will he, think you, forgive the sins of those that do as yet love those sins?
A23717	God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
A23717	Had it not bin enough for him to set before us life and death, and bid us take our choice?
A23717	Had they so great lust to dye, as for that to bid farewel to their Moses, their Religion and their Law?
A23717	Hath God indulg''d pleasure to those things which he hath allow''d to wicked Egypt?
A23717	Hath he not made thee and established thee?
A23717	Have they any ground or plea?
A23717	Have your inclinations and customs, think you, so prevail''d upon you, that to leave them looks impossible?
A23717	He did not question, how can God perform with me when I have offered up my Son?
A23717	His Death were our own loss and punishment: And had we no communion in this Death of Christ?
A23717	His blest Providence serve only to afford us arguments against it self; help to confute it self because it hath so prospered, doth still suffer us?
A23717	How be assured the major party is requir''d?
A23717	How can he be a Benefactor to the dead?
A23717	How can he choose but be appeased towards thee when he shall see thee executing his Sentence even upon thy own self?
A23717	How can these hinder, when sin could not hinder?
A23717	How clean a thing then must a Christian be who must be wash''d into the Name?
A23717	How could they guide themselves by that Rule, when as in their Doctrines they condemn''d each other, in their practice murder''d one another?
A23717	How desirous was he to succour us, who lays down Heaven and glory above, and life here below, that he might be able to succour us?
A23717	How few are there that do not spend more time and more endeavors, take more and longer pains in their Sports than in their Religion?
A23717	How infinitely willing then was he to be compassionate to us, when he takes flesh to learn to be compassionate?
A23717	How long will this people provoke me, and how long will it be ere they believe me?
A23717	How often is the candle of the wicked put out, and how oft cometh their destruction upon them?
A23717	How secure may I be?
A23717	How shall I pardon thee for this?
A23717	How shall they be at peace and not tear one another and the soul?
A23717	How should they know infallibly which was?
A23717	How will he laugh at their Calamity?
A23717	How wretchedly stupid is the heart of this People that glory in their shame, that count their sins the onely gaudy bravery?
A23717	I have told you to retire thus into your chambers is to enter Gods bed- chamber, and where is safety to be had, if it be not there?
A23717	I say not who?
A23717	If David never checkt Adonijah, did not at any time displease him, saying, Why hast thou done so?
A23717	If God suffer this and can not help it, where is then his power?
A23717	If I am weary of my work e''re night, what shall I be of everlastingness of torment?
A23717	If I do offer up whole Hecatombs to God, will that atone for having offered up too plentifully to my Genius?
A23717	If I give God ten thousand Rivers for my overflowing Cups, will the Intemperance be wash''d away in those?
A23717	If a foul body be abominable to the Lord, shall a foul spirit be less odious?
A23717	If all that were well, what hath thy goodness done, O Lord, that hath reverst it all?
A23717	If an Apostle become wicked, he is in our Saviour''s Character a Devil; Have I not chosen Twelve, and one of you is a Devil?
A23717	If he can, and will not, where his holiness?
A23717	If he that was a person of the Trinity could not bear the weight, how shall we sink under it?
A23717	If it be not enough to abstain from sin, what will become of them that do little else but act it?
A23717	If little thirsty heats and drops of sweat offend me, what will unquenchable feavors, and what a lake of brimstone?
A23717	If not to do pass sentence, how will to commit condemn?
A23717	If such a one indeed do seize me, there is danger; but till that happen c why art thou so troubled, O my soul, why art thou so disquieted within me?
A23717	If such have been the beginnings of sufferings, what shall the issues be?
A23717	If the morning dew of the day of punishment have been so full of blood, what shall the Storm and Tempest be?
A23717	If the tree with leaves, that was green in foliage be curst, shall not the dry and rotten one be burnt?
A23717	If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness?
A23717	If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness?
A23717	If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness?
A23717	If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness?
A23717	If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness?
A23717	If this be but preparative, then what is the full Potion, the Cup of Indignation, when all his Vials shall be poured into it?
A23717	If thou delight in that intemperance, which filled his deadly Cup, which Vomited Gall into it, can he delight in thee?
A23717	If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him; or if thy wickedness be multiplied, what dost thou to him?
A23717	In answering my call?
A23717	Indeed how can they choose when Christ does joyn his Intercessions?
A23717	Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance?
A23717	Is any thing impossible for him, that is Almighty, whose grace is sufficient?
A23717	Is he the onely Bridegroom to be thus provided for?
A23717	Is he unjust because he is rich, or learned, or well provided?
A23717	Is it a wrong to me, because that person is better qualified, or better endowed?
A23717	Is it because it may be they are grown so dear to me, that I am Crucified in their destruction?
A23717	Is it fit to honour that Child with Iniquity and Loosness, that did come into the World upon designs of Holiness, to settle a most strict Religion?
A23717	Is it not in fine worth while to strive against it, but e''en go on with the stream, abandon all consideration of concern for that life?
A23717	Is it not therefore certain, but that he that hath true Faith may say here with our Confessor, Lord, I believe, help thou my unbelief?
A23717	Is not he thy Father that hath bought thee?
A23717	Is the dimness of anguish, and darkness as of the shadow of death coming upon the Land?
A23717	Is the fifth of November in the Scripture any more than the twenty fifth of December?
A23717	Is there delight in the full affluence of those enjoyments?
A23717	Is there not full quietness and calm in the Lords withdrawing rooms?
A23717	Is thine eie evil, because I am good?
A23717	Is this all he can do after so many Centuries of the abode of him and his Religion among us?
A23717	Is this occasion for a contest with the Lord?
A23717	Is thy Estate taken from thee?
A23717	Is your case, think you, desperate, and have you gon too far to be receiv''d if you should turn?
A23717	Is''t worth the while to be at once false to God and our own blessedness?
A23717	It is Secondly, because you know not what it is to dye the second Death?
A23717	It were in vain to ask what else such men can be good for?
A23717	Know ye not that so many of us as were baptiz''d into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
A23717	Know yee not, that so many of us as were baptiz''d into Jesus Christ, were baptiz''d into his death?
A23717	Lord, shall we command fire to come down from Heaven to consume them, even as Elias did?
A23717	Lord, what is man that thou art thus mindful of him, and the son of man that thou so regardest him?
A23717	Make all his plenties turn to poison in us, and invenome us against himself?
A23717	Most of the actions of our life are common and indifferent, serve only the necessities or recreations of nature, and how can these be holy?
A23717	Must I leave all these for things that I have had no taste nor rellish of?
A23717	Must he lend thee his mercies, when his wisdom sees fit to do otherwise in order to the ends of Providence?
A23717	My Soul thirsteth for thee?
A23717	Nay at the last, because that Re ● oboam would not ease the Taxes, all Israel cry out, What portion have we in David?
A23717	Nay do they mind it cordially, when they stand before him in his house in order to it?
A23717	Now all this while how did his light shine before men, when it was immur''d in a Carpenter''s work- house?
A23717	Now does eternal ruin look so lovely to us, as that we will break thro all oaths to get at it?
A23717	Now does this Expiation as theirs did, require afflicting of the Soul in its attendance, or was that but a Ceremony of their Rite?
A23717	Now hath God any where promis''d that thou particularly ● ● alt be sav''d?
A23717	Now have Children any other way to know their Parents, then to let their Father shew them, and their Elders tell them?
A23717	Now he that will forgive to the bounds of necessity, but never into favour, there he will stay his hand, will so much serve his turn from God?
A23717	Now how comes this to pass?
A23717	Now how miserably does this man delude himself?
A23717	Now if he do not vindicate himself from these aspersions, and his laws from violation, his autority from contemt, how is he just to himself?
A23717	Now is there any thing that is like this in those others who pretend to aim at Heaven and the Blessedness that God is happy in?
A23717	Now saith Tertullian, Quis ille nobis intelligendus Pater?
A23717	Now shall we call this being Crucified?
A23717	Now there is nothing then that can prefer these to your choice but the Death only; and Oh will ye without and against all Temptation, Will ye die?
A23717	Now they that refuse to do themselves this Honour that the Angel could not do, to comfort their God in his Agony, how will he ease himself on them?
A23717	Now what is there of God the Pious man hath not the present uses of?
A23717	Now what security or guard can mankind have against such, whom no ties of Religion or humanity have any force on?
A23717	Now what strange kind of impiety is this that hath none of the natural affections of it?
A23717	Now who would seek the Living God among the dead?
A23717	Now why do you choose thus onely in Sin and Hell?
A23717	Now would a man do this to entertain, and feed, and dress the Carcass of his vanquish''d, his dead Enemy?
A23717	Now''t were in vain to ask Solomons question, What good is there in this?
A23717	Of these in order; and First, what this Person is?
A23717	Offer it now unto thy Governor, will he be pleased with thee or accept thy person?
A23717	Oh why will you rather die?
A23717	Or are they not good rational Discoursers too, who labour to throw out a thing as false and vain, because''t is necessary?
A23717	Or can there be a greater mercy than to refuse all the means of mercy to such men as onely make them work out condemnation to them?
A23717	Or do they cleave to God, when their devotion embraceth stocks and stones?
A23717	Or dost thou think thou dost not say as much in praying so?
A23717	Or else hath the Old Man no Soul?
A23717	Or farther yet, shall I give my first- born for my transgression, or the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A23717	Or he gape for intemperate satisfactions, who will not let thirst call, but shuts his mouth against it?
A23717	Or is their heart upon it there, while they are praying for it?
A23717	Or shall I give ten thousand rivers of oyl, thereby to make his face to shine, and look upon me with a chearfull countenance?
A23717	Or shall I think to expiate an Adultery with a Child?
A23717	Or should we cast off the relation and renounce all the obedience due to it, because we are not sure of it our selves?
A23717	Or that do cleave to him now?
A23717	Or what can fright the man whose heart is set above the sphere of terrours?
A23717	Or with whom does he dwell?
A23717	Quid hoc mali est cujus reus gaudet, cujus accusatio votum est,& poena faelicitas?
A23717	Quid hoc mali est quod naturalia mali non habet?
A23717	Rather than see me hot with anger, will you see me dwell with everlasting burnings?
A23717	Riches are not comely for a niggard, and what should an envious man do with mony?
A23717	S. Austin asks, Quis ergo nisi infidelis negaverit fuisse Christum apud inferos?
A23717	Satan entred into him, and when he was there, what design hath he to fill an heart with?
A23717	Secondly, What the strengths of Faith are?
A23717	Shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with calves of a year old?
A23717	Shall I say, I have a kindness for him, when I would not so much as mind him of that precipice he stood upon the edg of, nor offer to desire him back?
A23717	Shall I think God not easy to be serv''d when I may teach my recreations to serve him?
A23717	Shall I think Heaven placed out of my possibilities, when I can learn my sports to wing me towards it?
A23717	Shall we attribute them to the unhappy contradictions of this thing sin, which is at once ease and pressure, sleep and yet heavy labour?
A23717	Should we account our selves to suffer in our Beast?
A23717	Should we see one that had no other madness, no other sickness but his sin do thus, would it not be more horrid?
A23717	Since thou wilt not do it, not turn, not repent, sure I must, for how shall I give thee up?
A23717	So a prescribed way of Praier is boggled at, and why that more unlawful than a limited way of praising God?
A23717	So that he dares not not hope, and yet if he do but ask himself, he knows he can not hope: and what then makes him do it?
A23717	That Cup which made him fall upon his face to deprecate, will he partake in as the pledge of mutual love?
A23717	That did retrive him to us?
A23717	That ill Language that is banded to and fro?
A23717	The Second was, that coming which the Prophet Isay did foresee, and in the astonishment of Vision ask''d, Who is this that comes from Edom?
A23717	The first is, What sort of men those are that walk as Enemies to the Cross, and wherein their hostility does express it self?
A23717	The other Schismaticks that divide from the World by cutting off the World from them; do they seek God that are diverted by so many Saints and Angels?
A23717	There is some difference in the reading of the latter verse, the one version rendring, for why?
A23717	They had effusions of those in the first times, why do not we as well pretend to the one as to the other?
A23717	Thirdly, How far the Believer must pursue his Conquest?
A23717	Those that do embrace the Faith sincerely and are saved, or those that do not give their hearts up to it, and so perish in their unbelief?
A23717	Those that were then to be instructed in the Faith, what could they hearken to?
A23717	To instance; God hath commanded me I shall not steal, and I think my self bound in conscience not to do it; but what is it to steal?
A23717	To the good kind well- spoken part?
A23717	Were it a reasonable argument; because I see that the whole Country''s till''d, why should I not break up the holy places, and plow the Temple?
A23717	What Father is this in the story?
A23717	What Usefulness and Efficacy this Duty had upon that time in which it was prescribed?
A23717	What Wounds and what Massacres must the State expect from them that stab and murder it with the same Zeal that the Priest kills a Sacrifice?
A23717	What a kind of evil''s this, which he that is found guilty of is glad?
A23717	What a mixture is here, how far from purity; God and the Devil join''d together, and the Devil having the upper hand, the better portion?
A23717	What a wretched mistake is this, to think his bloud, which purchased him a power to command us, should purchase us a leave to disobey him?
A23717	What answer do we make to all these Messengers of Death that come so thick about us?
A23717	What can I want while I have a continual feast, for so''is a good conscience?
A23717	What can then become of those for whom God does contrive that they shall not escape?
A23717	What can we say to prove it would not be a mercy to us to be suddenly cut off, even in the midst of our iniquity?
A23717	What could have bin don more to my Vineyard, that I have not don unto it?
A23717	What design can he have to fail us possibly, who would be crucified for us?
A23717	What hath pride profited us, or what good hath riches with our vaunting brought us?
A23717	What have you don this day?
A23717	What height is there which Ambition will not fly at, since it made this spirit aim at an equality with the Most High?
A23717	What if they forgive no wrong, why they will do none, and so who shall lay any thing to their charge?
A23717	What is it then?
A23717	What is required in this Injunction, Ye shall afflict your Souls?
A23717	What is there in the dismal Wishes of mans imprecating passion?
A23717	What one thought can afflict or trouble me long, unless it be such an one, for which there is no help for in God?
A23717	What purity do those Commandments require, which they must not hear with any thing that was unclean about them?
A23717	What reason for this difference?
A23717	What self- evident Rule had they to judge of these by?
A23717	What shall confine or put shores to them?
A23717	What shall disburden him who is his own immense pressure?
A23717	What the Importance of the thing commanded is?
A23717	What then?
A23717	What tho you know not how to fancy satisfactions of another frame than those you now enjoy which you could like to change for?
A23717	What use were it to him God should hear his praiers, and not do that to him which he does to himself?
A23717	What was it else to change God into stocks and stones?
A23717	What will he not sacrifice to Christs Command?
A23717	What will not a man undertake, which he can but hope to go thro, and is assur''d of a large recompence for doing?
A23717	What will not hope do?
A23717	What work is here for discipline?
A23717	When God hath so solemnly declar''d thou shalt have nothing but everlasting ruin, how darest thou, how canst thou hope for Heaven?
A23717	When they shall look on him that they have pierced and Crucified upon it?
A23717	When this Cross shall usher in the great Assize?
A23717	When thou wilt cast a shameful spewing on his glory too, if he own such a Friend?
A23717	When to be like God, and to be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect, is to be most fordid and unworthy of a Gentleman?
A23717	Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and How my self before the most high God?
A23717	Whether that for ever do reach us?
A23717	Which part of thee do''s labor with the more intolerable Feaver, thy Body or thy Soul?
A23717	Who did make them the keepers of their brothers soul?
A23717	Who would either value or fly to a Savior, that is not first convinc''d that he wants help?
A23717	Who would not give alms, if by doing so he give himself a shole of vertue?
A23717	Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A23717	Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A23717	Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye?
A23717	Why do ye not understand my speech?
A23717	Why is he red in his Apparel, and his garments like him that treadeth in the Wine- fat?
A23717	Why our bread?
A23717	Why should he covet more that hath learnt to give away, and want that which he hath?
A23717	Why such great Agonies of the Holy Jesus, when I can not find in my heart to bear a little strictness for it?
A23717	Why truth must be on that side where the most are?
A23717	Why was I Crucified but that thou might''st be aton''d and he be pardon''d?
A23717	Why when they are but newly born their children, do they take care they shall be regenerate and born again Gods Children?
A23717	Why will ye Dye?
A23717	Why will ye die?
A23717	Why will ye die?
A23717	Why will you die?
A23717	Wickedness as outragious as ever?
A23717	Will a man rob God?
A23717	Will he be tempted with Excesses, or hearken to the invitations of Luxury, that will not hear his bowels when they croak for bread?
A23717	Will our Friends, think you, keep it off us, and secure us?
A23717	Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousand Rivers of Oyl?
A23717	Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams?
A23717	Will you see what hope can perswade a man to do?
A23717	With what effectual Sermon will he then Preach to himself against his sins?
A23717	Would he give his own Son to die, shed his own bloud to redeem us into a worse estate?
A23717	Would we not sow to the Spirit, where the harvest is Blessedness?
A23717	Would we not war against the Flesh, when he that overcomes should have a Crown immortal and incorruptible?
A23717	Would you see how little value all those interests that recommend this World, are of to Christians?
A23717	Would you see what Humility and lowliness becomes a Christian?
A23717	Would you see what one of these will venture at?
A23717	Would you then, my Brethren, find out a way to make death easy and familiar to you?
A23717	Wouldst thou have thy death to be the same thing?
A23717	Wretched Nature using that as an Attractive, which should repell; for who would hugg a Cloud?
A23717	Wretched men that we are, who shall deliver us from these burdens of our selves?
A23717	Ye fools, did not be that made that which is without, make that which is within also?
A23717	Yea more contracted Stench and Putrefaction?
A23717	Yea, but how stands my Praier- chamber?
A23717	Yea, this he hath present possession of, which my third Proposition and my Text asserts, in saying, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A23717	Yet that the Sinner does so is the ground of Gods Expostulation here, Why will you dye?
A23717	Yet where are any that do aim at doing any more?
A23717	Yet where were any others that did seek him?
A23717	Yet why should I call it his exercise, when it is his enjoiment?
A23717	a day for a man to afflict his Soul?
A23717	and Worship into most abominable wickedness?
A23717	and after such Redemption of your persons is there no redemption of your Will from perishing?
A23717	and all his hopes sickned and di''d?
A23717	and as if they also were set for the fall of many, throwing every body down that but stands near them, either in their way or prospect?
A23717	and can I make my self merry with nothing else but that which made him die?
A23717	and canst thou choose that he so dreads and deprecates?
A23717	and confute this Scripture; and make good that they do overcome the World most easily who never heard that Jesus was the Son of God?
A23717	and crucifie your selves rather than have it?
A23717	and for that momentary and unclean delight give up the lovely and first issue of my lawful Bed?
A23717	and have I not reason to fear the same expectations and woes?
A23717	and having us''d him most despightfully, will you therefore use his favours so?
A23717	and how it does improve each such advantage till it gets a perfect Conquest?
A23717	and how it manages that force so as to get advantage over men?
A23717	and if the half righteous shall not be saved, c where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?
A23717	and in this case what method will be useful?
A23717	and in what respect, and how qualified?
A23717	and is this to be Crucified with Christ?
A23717	and long practice and acquaintance hath riveted them into my very heart?
A23717	and not let his Death and Passion do you any good?
A23717	and others in those cursed Principles that did inflict it, as they ever were?
A23717	and punishing his Enemies although they be thy Members?
A23717	and reject the Messiah, and yet go unpunished?
A23717	and shall I think he hath not provided greater pleasures for his own self, and for those he intends to make happy with him?
A23717	and the foulest Actions Religion?
A23717	and the same frost possess you but to hear him?
A23717	and then shall I do so?
A23717	and when he durst not meet the apprehensions, wilt thou stand the storm?
A23717	and when the one will make thee drink it up, the 〈 … 〉 it in thy face?
A23717	and which I also see that very few venture for?
A23717	and will have War with God because he is their Enemy?
A23717	and will you die because you may, and I desire you should live?
A23717	and will you die into this state eternally?
A23717	are not some men as violent in those wicked practices that merited our former Ruin?
A23717	are not the Spots upon us still?
A23717	are the Sinners expectations so tempting?
A23717	are there Racks and Tortures in this discipline?
A23717	are we like to fall?
A23717	are we so assur''d of worsting God Almighty, that we will resist whatever makes towards a peace with him?
A23717	are we thus resolv''d to be reveng''d upon the Triumphs of the Cross?
A23717	as you have slain his Person, will you Crucifie his Kindness too?
A23717	b If thou be righteous, what givest thou him; or what receiveth he of thine hand?
A23717	be comforted in their Destruction at his coming as a King in Executions?
A23717	because it was the Cup of the Lords 〈 ◊ 〉, and 〈 … 〉 squeezed into it all the d ● egs of his Wrath, and 〈 … 〉 into it?
A23717	but after all this, is he not thy Father that hath bought thee?
A23717	but most despitefully treads down that 〈 … 〉 thou art sinking under it laden with their weight?
A23717	by raising Trophies to themselves for that which raised a Gibbet to their Saviour?
A23717	by whom he did conveigh all the full measures of his Graces; and now what effect of these is there in us?
A23717	can not we truly come til we find our selves to be heavy laden, till we labor and are tired and wearied with iniquity?
A23717	contemn his methods of Salvation, his divine Acts of making you for ever Blessed?
A23717	could his pure heart make his bloody hands undefil''d?
A23717	couldst thou imagin I would not sustein thee in the doing what I bid thee do?
A23717	do fear or hope, or long for, and pursue?
A23717	dost thou communicate thy Agonies in Eucharistick wine?
A23717	embrace that which does not, can not satisfie?
A23717	for is it not more that these Torments should be so terrible to him than that they should be insupportable to us?
A23717	give his pardons and rewards to one that will not part with his iniquities?
A23717	hadst thou no Blood to shed for them?
A23717	hath a Spear prick''d them to the heart, and no blood nor no water, no tears gush out thence?
A23717	hath it made no issue for some hearty Sorrow to purle out?
A23717	have I none there but my offended Adversary God?
A23717	have any savor of the manly pleasures which mere reason gives, and humane knowledg entertain us with?
A23717	have we not reason so much more to fear the goodness?
A23717	how do''s it appear he is displeas''d at Sin, or do''s indeed not like it?
A23717	how great, how insupportable is this darkness?
A23717	how it charges, breaks the forces of the World, and does enable the Believer to overcome?
A23717	how shall I deliver thee, O Israel?
A23717	how would we offer up a lust, and think a sin a good exchange for the hopes of Heaven?
A23717	if the first apprehensions did assault thee with such killing fury, can we resolve to stand the storm?
A23717	if they do, why do they not allow them?
A23717	if this Cup pass from thee, what will the Cup of Blessing profit us?
A23717	in days when Scoffers appear: that walk after their own lusts, and say, where is the promise of his coming?
A23717	is he all Flesh?
A23717	is that the chief seat of those qualities, is not the heart much rather?
A23717	is the love of Christ so injurious to us that we will be Enemies to the Expresses of it?
A23717	is there not as much warning in this prospect, as if our selves had tasted all of it?
A23717	is your Saviour and Life it self so hateful to you?
A23717	leave all in present for some future hopes which I have no great confidence of compassing if I should try?
A23717	let us consider, whether they are likely to escape that which is set and ordain''d for them by God?
A23717	m For they were askt, and they did answer: Dost thou renounce?
A23717	make his miraculous mercies furnish us for the abuse and provocation of him?
A23717	not the shame nor fear, tergiversations or repentance, or deplorings of it?
A23717	nothing but Tears?
A23717	nothing of value that can bribe your choice against it?
A23717	nothing that can betroth you into a desire of Life, and take you off from your resolves to die?
A23717	one not out of Abraham''s but Gods Bosom?
A23717	or account we our concern and share in that less valuable than in that of our Beast?
A23717	or be impatient if I had not respects and the Attendances of Pomp from one upon the Gibbet?
A23717	or be troubled if the person on the Cross did not do fitting reverences to me?
A23717	or can he possibly imagine there are any such delights as those his babies and rattles afford him?
A23717	or how a righteous Governor?
A23717	or how shall the rocks cover him, whose rebellions are like the great deep, as the Scripture words it?
A23717	or if thy transgressions be multiplyed, what doest thou to him?
A23717	or indeed would that Rhyme and tune become unlawful, should the Magistrate command them too?
A23717	or is it gain to him that thou makest thy ways perfect?
A23717	or shall I venture upon bearing that to all Eternity which that Son was not able to support some hours?
A23717	or that the child hath any notion of the strong contents of riper age?
A23717	or the succession to the Crown of Egypt in comparison with the possessing the Inheritance of Heaven?
A23717	or to assent to these must there be the graces and assistance of the Holy Ghost?
A23717	or to believe the Sun shines, when it does, is that a Faith that is fit to be rewarded with eternal light and glory?
A23717	or what do Christians mean when they do break and tear this Precept and themselves?
A23717	or what enjoyment?
A23717	or whether it be the Christians birth- right, and due to all others?
A23717	or will he strive to ease them of their iniquities, that find no burden in them, but rather that of a full pleasure?
A23717	or will he work a miracle of power, create a resurrection, that he may reward us to our loss?
A23717	p. 65. l. 6. read after evil?
A23717	prest it thus?
A23717	shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A23717	shall I doubt the fury of that spoiler that even robs necessity, will rob me even to a perfect desolation?
A23717	shall I give my first- born for my Transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A23717	shall I think to scape them when he spared not his own Son?
A23717	so that recovery from that condition may be well, as''t is in Scripture often called a Rising?
A23717	such as Death and the Grave do add?
A23717	that go to act their Villanies with Devotion, and go to their own Execution as to Martyrdom?
A23717	that is, why dost thou look so severely on the light faults of others?
A23717	that it should be made so indispensable an ingredient of its performances, tied to it by a Statute for ever?
A23717	that terminte divinest Worship in a creature?
A23717	the Venom, Ulcer, and infection about us?
A23717	the deluge and inundation of Fury?
A23717	thou hadst but now bequeathed a Cup to us which was the New Testament in thy Blood, and now wilt thou not shed that Blood?
A23717	tickle, chear, and heighten my self with Agonies?
A23717	to be a Sanctuary for the prophane, a Cloak for Hypocrites?
A23717	to be accus''d of it is his ambition?
A23717	to make the Vilest creatures Deities?
A23717	to pay such Sacrifices for sins?
A23717	to save mens Souls or to destroy their lives, yea and Souls too?
A23717	to see Divinity empty it self, and him that is a Worm, swell and be puffed up?
A23717	to suffer for it is his happiness?
A23717	to turn a disease into a God, and a sin into Devotion?
A23717	to whom is this man bountiful, but to himself indeed?
A23717	was it not because thou wert to take a Cross up which thou couldst not bear the Torments of, and 〈 ◊ 〉 will not endure the blessings of?
A23717	was not that our own?
A23717	we know it was S. Paul, but what?
A23717	what Principle can they proceed upon which shall engage them to stay any where?
A23717	what Religion should we be of, if God should raise a Dioclesian, come to tempt us with the fiery trial?
A23717	what are we the better?
A23717	what do we that may justifie Gods care in sending us so many warnings?
A23717	what must be the measures of his Victory?
A23717	what prodigy of age is this, when Christ the Lord can not be competent to judge either of right, of honour, or of realon?
A23717	what the Afflicting of the Soul contributed to the work of that Day?
A23717	what then will be our hope?
A23717	what were we then when we were not?
A23717	what will Hell say to us when one there said, if Lazarus will go they will repent?
A23717	what''s become of the sentence that was awarded thee, by which all of us were adjudg''d to be thy bond- slaves?
A23717	when as there is to be an universal Conflagration, where every Tree that beareth not good Fruit shall be cast in?
A23717	when he disputed?
A23717	when in our times Christians will not be kept from their Excesses by it?
A23717	when my Son went from the essential felicities of my Bosom to embrace Agonies, and dy''d for you; why will you also die?
A23717	when thou hadst just now made thy Death thy Legacy, thy Sacrament, dost thou intreat to scape this death?
A23717	when we do onely mean to make this use of such indulgence, to cherish another Plague in our own hearts?
A23717	where is that punishment which thou didst inflict upon us all, and by it ruin us?
A23717	where is the right thou hadst over all men to seize and take possession of them?
A23717	where its Strength lies?
A23717	which they must wash all to receive?
A23717	while it is thus, with what face can we beg of God to keep from us this Plague and grievous sickness?
A23717	who knew them more than he that did create them and possess them?
A23717	who would 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, extremely labor, tire himself till he faint to get to hell?
A23717	whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A23717	why dost thou hope?
A23717	why if he greive to death will his mourning raise him?
A23717	why must the Blood of God be paid for sin, when I can not afford a little self- denial for it?
A23717	why thou art sad upon it, but will thy tears recover it?
A23717	will be foes to their foes?
A23717	will make it mind and entertain the hopes and Duties of Religion?
A23717	will ye accept his person?
A23717	with dy''d garments from Bozrah, travelling in the greatness of his Strength?
A23717	with words of so much bowels?
A23717	would he be so vain, so guilty to provide to deck the Cross on which he Crucified his Foe?
A23717	would it not exorcize all impious Contrivances?
A23717	would not such a word be a Spell and Charm against unmerciful, inhumane, and unjust Designs?
A23717	yet if I might plead with Thee concerning them, I would enquire what hast thou done here all this while after thy so long abode among us?
