A30570After what manner did God work upon thy heart?
A30570Again, Consider how have I provoked the wrath of God against my self, and yet God doth not use his power a ● ainst me?
A30570Againe doth thy heart faile thee?
A30570And he said, Who made thee a Prince and a Judge over us, Intendest thou to kil me as thou didst the Egyptian?
A30570And so Ahaz, what a bold spirit had he in sin?
A30570And so if we had taken all advantages that we found in our hearts, since we came to the knowledg of Gods waies, what abundance might we have done?
A30570And suitable to his expression so was his life; speaking of Eudoxia the Empres: saies he, what wil she do?
A30570And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting, and the children of Israel also wept again and sayd who shal give us flesh to eate?
A30570And what is meant by the Roes and the Hindes?
A30570Are there any such, that God hath made sensible of their woful bondage and wouldest thou deliver thy soul from that spiritual bondage?
A30570Are you affraid of the sword and the wasters?
A30570As it is observed concerning Steven; after Steven was filled with the Holy Ghost how bold was he?
A30570Because we feared not the Lord, What then should a King do to us?
A30570But I say, have they not heard?
A30570But how shall we get up our hearts when they are not in a frame fit for service?
A30570But if we must not feare man, may we not flee from danger?
A30570But may not men reject the yoake of Antichrist upon other Grounds besides Faith?
A30570But may not natural Conscience help men through much difficulty in the way of deliverance from this spiritual Egypt?
A30570But rather bring it sooner, as when Peter was affraid of the waves, and affraid of sinking, did it help him?
A30570But should we not take care for our estates, and lives, and liberties?
A30570But suppose Those that are limitted: shall abuse their authority and go beyond it?
A30570But then we leave to give Testimony to the truth, and is not the giving Testimony to the truth of God more worth than our estates?
A30570But there must be discretion exercised: what do they count discretion?
A30570But what shal become of those that are left behind, if others that have abilities forsake them?
A30570But you wil say, How shall we improve this time?
A30570By the Law of Faith, or by the Law of Works?
A30570Can any man submit truly upon right grounds to a Justice of Peace, that wil not yeild to the King?
A30570Did I feare a multitude, or did the contempt of families terrifie mee?
A30570Fifthly, It is according to the Riches of his Glory; Whose Glory?
A30570Fiftly, You ask whether you may avoid danger, and suffering?
A30570Fourthly, Take heed of slighting any thing that God gives you, as they did, when they were delivered, and had Manna, say they, What is this Manna?
A30570Fourthly, There are some cases we must not Flee in If you ask what they are?
A30570Had God performed al things for David?
A30570Hath God carryed you through any difficult work?
A30570Hath God given you strength& power over others?
A30570Here seems to be a cross thing: they might say blessed Saviour, doest not thou bid us flee?
A30570How can that be?
A30570How can we flee and not feare?
A30570How doth Faith do this?
A30570How violent was his passion when once he had power?
A30570I am doing a great work, so that I can not come, why should the work cease, whilst I leave it and come down to you?
A30570I am nothing what is an instrument, an axe to the building of an house?
A30570I have a perverse crooked heart?
A30570I have a rough knotty heart?
A30570If it be a work of Faith, it is a work of much Humiliation, and Prayer; was there a time you were under the power and bondage of Antichrist?
A30570In the Hebrew it is who hath filled his heart to do this?
A30570It is reported of Illaria meeting with theeves, say they are you not affraid?
A30570Labor to harden your selves by faith against all difficulties NOw doth God call you to any service or work that hath any difficulty in it?
A30570Now if your strength be not let out for God, call your hearts to an account, where is the strength of my heart?
A30570Now what is it that you do, or have done in all your lives, that doth manifest a glorious power of God?
A30570Quest, Whether men may not reject the yoke of Antichrist upon other grounds besides Faith?
A30570Question, What is there in Faith which helps the Soul?
A30570Question, What is there in Faith which helps the Soul?
A30570Qustion, But you will say, what is there in faith that helps the soul, and carries a Christian through the most difficult works and services?
A30570Secondly, You ask this question whether you may not flee danger?
A30570Shall Iron break the northern Iron and the Steel?
A30570Shall iron breake the Northern Iron and the steele?
A30570Sixthly, nay I appeal to you, have you never found your hearts up for God?
A30570So let it be thy prayer, and it is my prayer for thee: Is thy heart up more than before?
A30570That any that are in authority do command a thing that is unlawful to be done and yet they do not go beyond the limits of authority?
A30570The Riches of the Glory, of the Might, of the Spirit of God: Of what God?
A30570Thirdly, Is God come in?
A30570Thirdly, Then Moses might think, Pharoah is such a man that there is no hold of him, how if he follow us with his army and cut us off?
A30570Through God we shal do valiantly, for he it is that shall tread down our enemies: is it God that treads down our enemies how do we do valiantly?
A30570To what end is this spoken?
A30570What a perverse reasoning is this?
A30570What a shame is it then for Christians to be so revengeful?
A30570What cases are those?
A30570What is the estate of a Christian?
A30570What is the reason you do not count us obedient to authority?
A30570What meane you to weep and break my heart?
A30570What shall we doe to take heed of the deceit in this?
A30570When Elijah met Ahab, Saies he Art thou he that troublest Israel?
A30570When they came to Canaan the great City Jericho, what have they to overcom it?
A30570When you had power for God you were content then to forbear, and shall you now use your power for the maintenance of your Lusts?
A30570Where God saies mountains shall be made plaine before Zerubbabel, difficulties shall be taken away, how?
A30570Whether men may not reject the yoke of Antichrist upon other grounds besides Faith?
A30570Who shall remove the difficulties of the curse of the Law?
A30570Why doth a man feare?
A30570Why should wicked men be feared that are compared to such base things?
A30570Wicked men that have had the basest spirits of all, have been bold in sin; As Manasseh, how audacious was he in sin?
A30570Wil she cut me asunder?
A30570Wil she drown me?
A30570Will she behead me?
A30570Will she stone me?
A30570Wilt stay beleeving till thou canst get strength?
A30570You wil say, How shall we come to keep up our hearts, whenas our hearts are in a better frame, than at some other times?
A30570You wil say, What is that proper essential work of faith, that is the most glorious difficult work that ever was performed?
A30570Your question is, whether a Christian may not flee danger?
A30570and hath the shadow of death been made known to you?
A30570and have I been so long suffering towards those that have crost me, as to manifest the glorious power of God in it?
A30570and when he came into danger how feared he?
A30570and where is he that durst presume in his heart to do so?
A30570are you careful to attaine your end?
A30570because we will not worship Idolls, and pray to the Idols for your Governors?
A30570came you not to enjoy God?
A30570did God shew you the evil of it?
A30570did he first prepare thy heart, by a work of humiliation to seek him, and make up thy peace with him?
A30570do you find God sweetly and comfortably enlivening your souls, and putting the spirit of confidence in that unbeleeving heart of yours?
A30570do you know who I am?
A30570doth it come near to you that you find for the present you have attained so little of your end?
A30570doth it trouble your souls when at any time you see any danger to be frustrate of your end?
A30570have you faith only to keep you in that ordinary way that the principles of nature are able to keep you in?
A30570he did flee, but was it not an abatement of his faith and confidence in God?
A30570how came you from under it?
A30570if my unbelieving heart make me faile in this work, what if I should faile through unbelief in that great work that concernes my eternal estate?
A30570if we must not feare the creature, must we deliver our selves from it?
A30570is it now as it was then?
A30570is it thy worke that thou art now about?
A30570it is said, Moses seeing two Hebrews smiting one another, he said to him that did the wrong, Why smitest thou thy fellow?
A30570may we not labor to deliver our selves from it when it comes?
A30570or any help that we can imagine from any creature?
A30570so on the contrary, because we feare the Lord, what then can a King, what can all the power in the world do against us?
A30570so was Paul; Will she take away my substance?
A30570speaking concerning Haman, saith the King, Who is he?
A30570that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
A30570the strength of your own purposes?
A30570they have but a little dough at their backs, and if that be spent what shal become of them?
A30570those that are over others and are given to anger should think, How is God provoked and crossed?
A30570to have further communion with God?
A30570to walk with God in a more close way then you could do before?
A30570was it any assistance you hade from any friends?
A30570was it your own naturall resolutions?
A30570we must not rush into danger but suppose we see danger before us, may we not flee from it, and avoid it before it comes?
A30570were thy ends good and right in this work?
A30570wert willing wholly to venture upon God, to give up thy self unto him, to be at his dispose?
A30570what can man do unto me?
A30570what should become of me then?
A30570when God would bring Job to feare, saith God, you seem to have some boldness: but have you seen the gates of death?
A30570when he came into danger what a base spirit had he?
A30570when he had done that: did God secondly take off thy heart from all creature props, creature confidences, and dependances?
A30570when they were afraid least he should at last revenge himself upon them, he answers them, Fear not, for am I in the place of God?
A30570which way runs it?
A30570who shall pacifie the wrath of God that is burning against me for my sin?
A30570wil shee bannish me?
A30570will he regard thee?
A30608& c. He heard that Esau was coming against him with a great company;& what doth Iacob?
A3060836. what is said of our joyning with the people of God, how excellent is thy loving kindnesse, wherein appears the excellency?
A30608Again, those that appeared on the one side how were they discouraged extraordinarily?
A30608Again, what is that thing that you strive to make most sure?
A30608All the nations of the earth are but as the dust of the ballance, and a drop of the bucket to God, what is thy dust then?
A30608And Iehoshaphat said ▪ O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven, and rulest over all Kingdomes?
A30608And call your hearts to question, what do I do with my estate for God?
A30608And doth not God for the present curse thy portion?
A30608And if mercies should come, what a daunting would this be to our hearts, that mercies are come, but we have not sought them?
A30608And now I go to hear the word, and out of the word he calls unto me, and seeks me, let me say, Lord what sayest thou to thy servant?
A30608Art thou one of the seed of Iacob, and hast sought God and sayest, thou hast had no answer?
A30608Art thou sorry for what thou hast done?
A30608Behold I die, but I die in faith of the promise: because I am taken away shall I think the promise shall be of no effect?
A30608Boniface the martyr when he was asked the question, if he might have the sacrament, if he would drink it in a wooden challice?
A30608But 2. further, I put this to you; do you spend as much breath in praying for these kind of men, as you do in rayling upon them?
A30608But art thou of the seed of Iacob?
A30608But by what means shall these mercies be bestowed on then?
A30608But how comes it thus to passe, that men should be so greedy of this their portion?
A30608But how many broken Gentry expected to raise their condition on the other side?
A30608But it follows upon it, notwithstanding when the Sonne of man comes shall he find faith on earth?
A30608But now, wherein doth it appear that it is not in vain to seek the Lord?
A30608But what hath he done of late?
A30608But what if David should now perish in this distresse, should God be any looser by it?
A30608But what is there in the Saints that makes them the excellent in the earth?
A30608But what is this supernaturall manner of serving God?
A30608But when I pray in the time of affliction, and Gods hand is on me, will it not be in vain to call unto him then?
A30608But wherein lyeth the efficacy of prayer?
A30608But why sayest thou so O Iacob?
A30608But you will say, how is God present with his Saints more then in other places; why is God said to dwell among his people, his Saints?
A30608But you will say; Lord, what will become of us?
A30608But you''l say, if men be in an errour, why should they not be forc''d, shall every man be left to his opinion, to do what he will?
A30608But( you''le say) do you think to preach to men that have their portion here in this life?
A30608Can you make good that you are one of the seed of Iacob?
A30608Canst thou say that thou art of the Church?
A30608Consider how do the losse of the things of the world, take thy heart; dost not thou account thy self an undone man, when thou had lost some comforts?

A30608Esau when he comes to Iacob, when Iacob would have given him his present, saith he, what meanest thou by all these droves which I met?
A30608Examine then whether these things of the world, be not the onely suitable things to your hearts?
A30608First understand, who they are, you speak off; do you know wherein you and they differ?
A30608First, the poor things that men have here in this world, what are they?
A30608For what Nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
A30608God can say I have my end in these: Take any town where there are but two or three that are godly, what glory hath God but of these?

A30608Hast thou not known?
A30608Hast thou nothing to put into the scoales but this?
A30608Hath not God done great things heretofore, in 88. and in the powder plot and at other times?
A30608He cryed oft when his enemies prevailed: yet he saith, When I cried then mine enemies turned back: and this I know, why?
A30608How do you know such an ones child, but by his likenesse to his father?
A30608How excellent is thy loving kindnesse?
A30608How is that?
A30608How long will ye love vanity and seek after leasing?
A30608How many prayers have we put up to God, and find not the issue?
A30608I appeal to thy conscience; when thou hast gone to pray to God, hast thou propounded this end?
A30608I but who have you spoke too all this while?
A30608I hear indeed there are some menare put of so, what if that should prove to be my portion what a miserable creature were I?
A30608I see how things are like to be, the enemie prevails and is like to overrun all: had it not been better that I had not ingaged my self so much?
A30608I, now you seek God, but this is in your affliction, and will God regard you now?
A30608If there be nothing but vanity, how canst thou expect that God should hear them?
A30608If there were nothing else, what a delightfull thing is it saith the heart?
A30608If they had prevailed how would they have blasphemed?
A30608If thou have been a publick instrument, and hast done good and yet if in fear of successe thou hast repented?
A30608If you ask what this excellency of Iacob is?
A30608Is it in vain to serve the Lord?
A30608Is the plowing, and the sowing of the husbandman, and all the showers in vain; because the corn is not in the barn?
A30608Is this thy care?
A30608It may be his estate, his houses, his lands may be somewhat worth, but what is his heart worth?
A30608It was that that stayed the Psalmist, he began to reason as you do, that he had sought God without answer, Will the Lord cast off for ever?

A30608O such a man is happy, he hath so much coming in, and hath so much a year; but dost thou call the vile man happy?
A30608O wretch, why hast thou left?
A30608On the one side how unfaithfull have they been?
A30608Our slighting of the Gospell because we had it so ordinarie might have caused God to take it from us; and hath God restored it?
A30608Secondly, Iecob was one that feared God, when God appeared to him he looked on the presence of God as dreadfull, How dreadfull is this place?
A30608See what thou dost most admire men for?
A30608So for other places where hath God glory but for a few contemptibile ones?

A30608You may hear them sometimes tell with joy that we were in such a place, and were so merry,& had the bravest meeting, and what was there?

A30608hast thou relyed on it?
A30608is his mercy clean gone for ever?
A30608is it worth so much, that they contend so about it?
A30608it is such an excellent portion, that they are so greedy of it?
A30608must I die, and go from all these?
A30608so may I say to you that are godly, hath God given you Iesus Christ?
A30608so may a man that hath his portion in this world, say at his death, where is this poor soul of mine going?
A30608so what great things hath prayer done in the world?
A30608that I had not appeared so much?
A30608thou shalt never have more jests, nor be merry, nor be jocund any more; where art thou going?
A30608though he hath grown never so rich, and got all he desires, when God takes away his soul?
A30608what do you want?
A30608what doth prayer do?
A30608what honour hath God from my estate more then before?
A30608what is thy house and land then?
A30608wherefore would you be preserved?
A30608wherefore would you live?
A30608whether a man hath grace or no?
A30608whether wilt thou go?
A30608whither art thou going?
A30608who art thou that judgest?
A30608who is the man that hath his portion in this world?
A30608who shall stand in his holy place?
A30608why should not our prayers joyn with the rest?
A30608why what is the matter?
A30608will that satisfie thy soul, that may be the portion of a reprobate?
A30608will this satisfie thee?
A30608would you have any beer?
A30608would you not have cried to Magistrates?
A30608would you not have cried to Parliament men?

A30577But may we go against the command of the King?
A30577But now because some troubles arise, because we see war in our gates, how vile& unworthy are the spirits of many?
A30577But the question is, Whether no breach of Covenant may possibly in any case make a forfeiture?
A30577But then you say, What would they have more?
A30577But what if authority be abused, may we resist?
A30577But what if the King will not keepe to his agreement, may the Subject doe nothing?
A30577But what if the Kingdom be got by Conquest,& the right come in that way?
A30577But what is all this for the satisfaction to conscience about the Lawfulnesse or unlawfulnesse of resisting men that have power in any case?

A30577Did they even in times of Popery ever seek to blow up Parliament houses, as Papists have done?

A30577Doe we heare of their pride and blasphemies?
A30577Doe you know who they are you thus abuse?
A30577From whence is this?
A30577God here speaks angerly, What am I the Lord of Hosts, and will you offer this?
A30577God will leave heaven to fight for his Church; will not you leave your shops and your houses?
A30577Hath God made all the world to bee under the lusts of twenty or thirty men?
A30577Here you see Babylon must down, and yet the Kings lament her fall: Who then must pull her down but the people?
A30577How can this Obiection, without wrangling, be admitted?

A30577Is not passive obedience required, if active can not be given?
A30577Is not the reason the same in this, although the degree inferiour?
A30577It is apparent this was Christ, for Joshua fell on his face, and worshipped, and said, What saith my Lord unto his servant?

A30577Onely they wil not yeeld to mens wils and lusts beyond that authority they have over them, and who wil that hath the spirit of a man in him?
A30577Prophets, Priests have Gods hand and oyle upon them, and can not the power for no cause be taken from these?

A30577Shall not his excellencie make you afraid?
A30577Shall the prohibition be good against Christians under Emperors persecuting Religion,& not against Subjects enjoying their Religion?
A30577Shall your brethren goe to war, and shall ye sit here?

A30577There is a great deale of stir about these men, but what have they done?
A30577These men doe what lyes in them to put men upon examining, Whether the relation between King and people may not possibly be broke?
A30577They stamp for anger that they have them not, and if they had them, how would they stamp then?
A30577They venture their lives for us, and endure great hardship; shall not wee pray?
A30577This is most certaine, who are hardest to beleeve what the Parliament sayes, but Papists, and notorious blasphemers, and prophane livers?

A30615BUt you will say, How should we do to get this our Conversasation to be in Heaven?
A30615Be astonished O ye Heavens at this, and be horrible afraid, be ye very desolate saith the Lord, Why?
A30615But now, Do you reason thus for the things of Heaven?
A30615But now, I appeal to you, Who are you withal when you awake?
A30615But now, If you demand the reason, why it is that the Saints have their Conversations in Heaven?
A30615But now, if any one should say, May we not mind earthly things and heavenly things too?
A30615But what evidences can you shew?
A30615Can two walk together except they be agreed?

A30615How did the Spirit of God begin to stir in me?
A30615How may any Causuality come and take away from thee al the things of the earth that thy mind is upon?

A30615Is the creature so sweet?
A30615Is the way like to end well that I am walking in?
A30615It is a very carnal expression that some have, Why?
A30615It may be, they would have said, is not this, To mind Earthly things?
A30615It seems that the Lord for the present to Davids apprehension had forsaken him: but what was Davids resolution?
A30615It was that that made Demas to be an Apostate; why?

A30615Let every Christian think thus, My Conversation is thus and thus; but what glory do I bring to God by my Conversation?
A30615Now I appeal to you in this, Do you live so, as that your family, and your neighbors may see that you have bin this morning in Heaven?
A30615Now except you do restore, you do wilfully continue in it; for why?
A30615Now is it not a blessed thing to be in safety alwaies with God?

A30615So may I say to all Christians, that would professe themselves Christians and godly; ought not ye to walk in the fear of our God?
A30615So what evil hast thou found in the waies of God?
A30615So, Oh that God would meet with such as are declining from the good waies of God, Oh thou soul whither art thou going?

A30615The work of Grace when it is first wrought, it hath the name of Vocation: Calling, what is it for a man to be called?
A30615Then saith God, Is it so?
A30615Then what shall he be that walks with God?
A30615Therefore you know what Christ saith, What shall it profit a man, to gain the whol world, and lose his soul?

A30615You will say for this Idolatry, What is there in it?
A30615You will say, Do not these comfort our lives?
A30615You will say, What Rule doth the Apostle mean here?
A30615and are there no higher things to be had in God than such base things as thy heart is upon?
A30615and are your thoughts solicitous about this?
A30615and be rouling of sin and wickedness up and down in your thoughts?
A30615and how can that stand with such workings as I have had before?
A30615and that your sins are pardoned, and your souls justified?
A30615and what opportunities to present petitions to God?
A30615and what shall my graces that are in my soul be?

A30615can you value a poor man that is godly above the richest man that is wicked?
A30615canst thou attain to a more strict and holy Conversation than a Heavenly Conversation?

A30615is it the losse of the light of the face of God, or the losse of an estate, the losse of a voyage, or the commission of a sin?
A30615is that possible?
A30615is the way that I am in like to the way that befeems an Immortal soul?
A30615is there nothing amisse between God and my soul?
A30615must I leave you now?
A30615shall I come before him with burns offerings?
A30615shall I give my first born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A30615shalt thou profess an interest in Christ?
A30615that you are at peace with God?
A30615that you are translated out of the kingdom of darknesse into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ?
A30615that you have shot the gulf?
A30615thou that hast had the Word working upon thy heart and thou wert seem''d to be turned into the good waies of God, whither art thou going?
A30615thy body being either too much heated, or too much coold, what''s become of all thy comfort here in this earth?
A30615we can not be Saints?
A30615we have the Prophesie of Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and other Prophets; but where the Prophesie of Enoch?
A30615what a seemly thing were it in those that come to hear the word when they depart that there should be no discourse but tending that way?
A30615what abundant enterance will be made into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
A30615what are we doing?
A30615what comfort can I have in all the good things I have enjoyed?
A30615what converse with God have you had there?
A30615what do you loose through this earthlinesse?
A30615what evil would the over- charging of the heart which the cares of this life bring?
A30615what hath been this day between God and my soul?
A30615what is there in hell, but raging and filthiness?
A30615what need we labor to do so much?
A30615what news from Heaven?
A30615what shall people do then, when they see that either way holy men go in?
A30615what was Demas before?
A30615what were they mad men to rejoyce at the plundering of their estates?
A30615what would you take for the enjoyment of such an hour as that is?
A30615what''s become of Agrippa and Bernice with al their pagentry greatness?
A30615what''s my way; whither am I going?
A30615what''s that that doth most trouble your hearts?
A30615what''s the matter?
A30615whatsoever other men do, they do thus and thus, and seek to follow their own ends and waies, but ought not YE to walk in the fear of our God?
A30615when their goods were spoil''d, did they take that joyfully?
A30615when will that blessed day come when I shall come to enjoy those good things that are there?
A30615where''s the great workings of your spirits?
A30615who are you conversing withal?
A30615who had ever that fellowship with the Father and the Son so as Christ had?
A30615why hath he sent them hither into the world?
A30615wil not this be folly?
A30615will a Reprobates portion content thee?
A30615will it serve thee?
A30615will not you curse your selves hereafter for your folly?
A30615will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of Oyl?
A30615with Calves of a yeer old?
A30615you should be walking with God: what are you the Saints of God?
A3057615. saith Paul, Where is then the Blessedness you spake of?
A3057648. say they,( when the Officers were Affected with the Ministry of Christ) Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?
A30576Am I the man?
A30576And God comfort you; and so: I, but what have you of the Doctrine of Reconciliation with God, and the way of Attonement with God?
A30576And can the World offer to you as much as this comes to?
A30576And daily experience teaches it too, who are those that are the most spiritual and heavenly Christians, are they those that are fullest?
A30576And grant God may call at the eleventh hour, I but it is not said God will call eleven times?
A30576And so, I say, What knowest thou, O Child, whether thou mayest save thy Brother, or Sister?
A30576And the truth is, We would willingly Dart up such a Prayer to God, if we knew how God did begin to stir you?
A30576And then he shews himself; Look upon me, is it not I that have done it?
A30576And then, He is the end of my Life: To what purpose do I live, if it were not in order to Him?
A30576And thus much for this Supposition, If not: What follows?
A30576And to what end?
A30576And well may their Ministers say, Where is the Blessedness you spake of?
A30576And what Wayes were they?
A30576And what art thou, that thou shouldest keep a stir under any hand of God?
A30576And what hath God yet come and strove with me again for all this Rejection?
A30576And what then?
A30576And who were these?
A30576And why did they deride Him?
A30576And why?
A30576And you will say, How is this an Argument?
A30576Are there a People that they are sent to, to whom do they offer Christ?
A30576As for Instance, Peace between God and us: Why, what are we Enemies?
A30576As if the Disciples should say, I indeed, If our Ministry prevails that we may bring Peace to Souls, we have enough: But what if not?
A30576As now, I have for the present Health of Body: Where doth the good of the Health of my Body lie?
A30576Ask a Dying Soul, what Peace with God is worth?
A30576But I this day, in the Name of God demand of you, How came you to have this Peace?
A30576But alas, You go with a barren Heart, and carry nothing at all: And why?
A30576But how comes in the last, And the Poor receive the Gospel?
A30576But how is it sanctified by the Word?
A30576But now, What will satisfie the Soul of Jesus Christ for all this?
A30576But now, because much may be said, As doth not God call at the Eleventh hour and the like?
A30576But the Rulers, have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees, the Great Men, and the Rich Men, the Learned Men, Have they believed?
A30576But you will say, How doth the Gospel discover so much of the Evil of sin?
A30576But you will say, Why doth God send it, God knows it will not be entertain''d; it is not with God as it is with us, to go to a place at paradventures?
A30576But, you will say, If it be thus, Why is it then that Ministers do Preach so much of our miserable Condition in which we are?
A30576Can there be any thing to draw your Hearts away from it, that shall be Equal with this Good?
A30576Can you bring unto them any Truths you have heard?
A30576Can you say so now?
A30576Can you say so?
A30576Come about such a Work as this, to be an Embassador of Reconciliation from the Great God of Heaven and Earth?
A30576Could there have been any thing more to reveal the evil of your sin, than this was?
A30576Do I enjoy my fulness for God, yea or no?
A30576Do I see Jesus Christ rejected by others?
A30576Do you enjoy no Good?
A30576Do''st thou thus requite the Lord, O foolish heart?
A30576Doth it return from you?
A30576Doth not God by this, some way, or other, help me against some sin?
A30576Doth the Gospel go away from thee?
A30576Doth the Gospel return again?
A30576For the first, When hath a Man learned how to be full?
A30576For what doth a Godly man see in Christ?
A30576For what knowest thou, O Wife, whether thou shalt save thy Husband?
A30576Go and make the heart of this People fat; but this was a mighty hard Message: How must this Prophet be prepared?
A30576God gives you abundance in the neather Springs, but doth he give you the upper Springs too?
A30576God he saith, Who is this that uttereth words without knowledge?
A30576Hath He afflicted thee in thy Body, He might have afflicted thee in thy Soul?
A30576Hath He afflicted thee in thy Estate, He might have afflicted thee in thy Body?
A30576Hath He afflicted thee in thy Soul here, He might have sent thee down to Hell eternally?
A30576Hath the Gospel had this end of it upon your Hearts?
A30576Have I learned to be full?
A30576Have any of them Believed on Him?
A30576Have they known the Blessed things of the Gospel?
A30576Have you found the Ministry of the Gospel to be powerful upon you, and to bring this Peace into you?
A30576Here''s the Reason why they will do thus unto you, they will be far from entertaining of you, but will rather oppose you: Why?
A30576How are they described?
A30576How came God and your Souls to be Friends?
A30576How is this an Argument that Christ is the Messias?
A30576How shall I know that they are good to me?
A30576How shall they Preach except they be sent?
A30576I appeal to you this morning, as in the Name of God, Have these things been in your thoughts that have been spoken to you?
A30576I beseech you, examine whether this be so in you or no?
A30576I have an Estate, Wherein lies the good of it?
A30576I have bestowed mercy upon you already, and how did you abuse it?
A30576I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for us?
A30576I put this to you in the Name of God, I say, Hath the Peace of the Gospel rested upon your Hearts?
A30576I put this to your Souls, What Treaties hath there been between God and you?
A30576I say, What do you account your Lives to consist in?
A30576I, but what hath God revealed his Grace in Christ unto their Souls?
A30576If I Live, Wherein lies the good of Life?
A30576If a Man hath a great Gain, and it comes not in his present Possession, he thinks, What shall I have for my Forbearance?
A30576If the Son of Peace be there, your Peace shall rest upon it: But what if not?
A30576If there be any that will not Imbrace it?
A30576If we account a firm and sure peace to be so sweet, would not we be willing to lay down our Lives?
A30576In the mean time, I appeal this day in the Name of God to your Conscience; Have you learned to be full?
A30576Is it possible that Jesus Christ, wheresoever He comes, should not be Entertain''d?
A30576Is it so with thy heart?
A30576Is it upon any within thy Dwelling- place, it might have been upon thy self?
A30576Is the Gospel returned from thee?
A30576Is the sight of God that, that should cause us humbly to submit?
A30576Is there an Enmity between God and us?
A30576It is not a New thing for the World to have such an Esteem of Ministers of the Gospel: And what do they do?
A30576It may be the Lord hath some Souls in that place, He intends Eternal good unto: And wilt thou stand out against that, and cross God?
A30576It may possibly be, that some will not receive your Ministry?
A30576It''s a speech of Judas,( not of him that betrayed Christ) Lord, How is it that thou Revealest thy Self unto us, and not unto the World?
A30576It''s true, I have these things, but what are these things to the portion of an Immortal Soul; is there not a vanity in all these things in the world?
A30576John would know whether He was the Messiah: How shall he know it?
A30576Lastly, Is this true, That God sends the Preaching of the Gospel where he sees it will and doth not prevail with many?
A30576Let him know, saith he, that he that Converteth a sinner from the Errour of his Way, Let him know: What shall he know?
A30576Mark, Receive with Meekness the Word: But how?
A30576Mark, They were thus taken with the Truths of the Gospel, when they were first Preached: But now, saith Paul, Where is the Blessedness ye spake of?
A30576Ninthly, And then lastly, We shall enjoy what is in Christ without any Intermission: What''s the reason of any Intermission here?
A30576Now I have al things about me, but can I now, if God should call me to suffer poverty, could I be content to be laid in a Prison for his Name sake?
A30576Now have you sold all?
A30576Now how comes this?
A30576Now if God knows that before a Man comes, it will not be entertain''d, why doth God send it?
A30576Now let every one of you lay his hand upon his Heart, and think thus with himself; Is it I?
A30576Now saith the Apostle, To me to live is Christ: Will you take Life in this sense, that is, for a Comfortable, a Contented, a Joyful life?
A30576Now then, Is that the main thing?
A30576Now what an unseemly thing is this, among those who profess themselves Christians?
A30576Now you will say, What Paul?
A30576Now, Is not this worth any ones Labour and Life?
A30576Now, hadst thou as much as all the Saints ever had, were not that Gain?
A30576Now: When was that Now?
A30576O Repent and Turn from your sins; Why?
A30576O my Soul, where are they?
A30576O the Hearts of People were mightily stirred, ever since the dayes of John Baptist; and why?
A30576O, do you shew forth the Power and Efficacy of the Ministry of the Gospel, of that Ministry of mine upon you: Why?
A30576Or how knowest thou, O Man, whether thou shalt save thy Wife?
A30576Or thou, O Husband, whether thou shalt save thy Wife?
A30576Or thou, O Servant, whether thou mayest save thy Fellow- Servant?
A30576Or whether those Men that are serviceable to the Great Ends of God, in setting forth the Honour of Jesus Christ?
A30576Secondly, Can there be next unto this, a greater Encouragement, than to be an Instrument of good to our Brethren, of good to Mankind?
A30576Sin: Why are there any Men in the World that have no sin?
A30576So they did to the Prophets and Apostles: Elisha, Art not thou the troubler of Israel?
A30576So, Dost thou thus requite the Lord, hath God made thy condition more comfortable than anothers?
A30576Some times you will speak in way of Indignation, What do you think me a Heathen, a Turk?
A30576That Scripture speaks of a Promise of Eternal Life before the World began: How could there be a Promise before the World began?
A30576That Sweetness and Comfort thou hast in communion with Christ at any time, thou shalt have it at all times: And how good is that?
A30576The Lord saith thus to Job: Who is this whose heart doth fret and is so impatient, who is it?
A30576The Lord was patient with my Father many Years, and why may not I venture as he did?
A30576The Ministry of the Gospel, it is the great Gift of Jesus Christ, that He gave when He Ascended on high: And to what end did He give it?
A30576The Patience of God doth Lead to Repentance; Then what might the Grace of God do, that is held out in the Gospel?
A30576There comes a young man running to Christ, and saith, Good Master, what shall I do to Inherit Eternal Life?
A30576They can Die daily unto the World: Why?
A30576They have been rejected all in their Ministry, and what art thou that thou canst not bear any Rejection?
A30576Think but of this one thing, and it will make you Thankful; when you are in your Families, What have I to do in the Morning when I rise?
A30576Those Men that are the most Rebellious, yet Christ hath received Gifts for them: What Gifts?
A30576Thou hast a Table well furnished, but how do''st thou know but that it is a snare for thee, and a trap?
A30576Thy House is full, and thy Estate, but what''s thy Heart in the mean time?
A30576Thy conscience shall not upbraid thee, as others will; Thou comest to God for mercy, What come to me for mercy?
A30576To whom could it be made?
A30576We know that you are those whom God hath Eternally Elected: How do you know that?
A30576Well, How doth God the Father send Christ?
A30576Were they not made fuel for your lusts, and serviceable to your wickedness?
A30576Were you in the Counsel of God, in Gods Treasury, to know what His Thoughts were: How can you tell the Election of God?
A30576What Phisicians have you had?
A30576What art thou more than Jesus Christ thy Master?
A30576What art thou more than Paul and other of the Apostles?
A30576What do you account your Lives to be?
A30576What do you mean, when you say that Christ doth teach his people to know how to be full?
A30576What do you think will become of you, when your fulness shall be taken from you?
A30576What doth God aim at, why I should have a prosperous estate and others not?
A30576What great Evil wil follow upon this?
A30576What hast thou done with them?
A30576What have you to help their troubled Consciences, and to pacifie them?
A30576What is that acceptable time?
A30576What is there between God and my Family?
A30576What shall the Lord send Embassadors of Peace?
A30576What then?
A30576What will you get away all my estate and make me a begger?
A30576What would not we do to purchase a good and sure Peace here in the Kingdom?
A30576What''s that?
A30576What''s the Reason why Men and Women, when they go to Visit their Sick Neighbours, they are so Barren in their Conference, they say, How do you?
A30576What''s the Wise more than the Fool?
A30576What''s the reason of Ecclipses?
A30576What, Is this the Errand that I am sent about, to go and Preach the Gospel, that brings Life and Immortality to light?
A30576What, dost thou apprehend God as an Enemy?
A30576What, shall such a glorious Gospel be preached in vain?
A30576What, shall the precious Blood of Jesus Christ be shed in vain?
A30576What?
A30576When Christ came to Jerusalem, He falls a Weeping: Upon what ground?
A30576When God sent Paul to Preach, there was a great deal of Opposition: Well, saith God, for all that Opposition, you shall Preach in this place: Why?
A30576When John began to preach Christ, you know what he said: Now is the Axe lay''d to the root of the Tree: And why now more than before?
A30576When there is a Promise made, there must be some body to receive it?
A30576When thou shalt have eaten and be full( saith the Text) what then?
A30576When was there ever a Kingdom upon the Face of the Earth, that hath had longer continuance of outward Peace, than England hath had?
A30576When we come to bring the Pearl of the Gospel to you, have you embrac''d it?
A30576Wherefore learn by this, Not to be too Sudden, nor so Peremptory, in the judging of Gods Administrations: Why?
A30576Whether you can say as the Apostle here did, To me to live is Christ?
A30576Which are the Men that God accounts most Happy?
A30576Who art thou?
A30576Who do you account to be the Men that live the brave Lives in the World?
A30576Who doth believe it?
A30576Why I do enjoy these and these outward comforts; from whence have I these?
A30576Why I have it saith Paul: Where had Paul such a Joyful and Contented life?
A30576Why are Temptations so strong?
A30576Why were they not prepared to God?
A30576Why what is become of all thy Stirrings, and of all those Resolutions and Truths, that thou hast heard?
A30576Why would Christ have His Disciples to be Uncivil, not so much to Salute Men in a civil way?
A30576Why, did Christ coming bring sin to them?
A30576Why, from whence was it, was it not from the Lord?
A30576Why?
A30576Why?
A30576Why?
A30576Why?
A30576Why?
A30576Will not these be sad thoughts another day?
A30576With what face can you cry to me for mercy, that have abus''d it so?
A30576Would this be good Answer?
A30576Would you have a Salve that should do good to an Affected Member?
A30576Yea, perhaps the very Father, out of whose Loyns the poor Child comes, will deride him: What shall we have of you now?
A30576Yea, saith the Apostle, For what knowest thou, O Wife, whether thou shalt save thy Husband?
A30576You have Liv''d under the Ministry of the Gospel a long time, what is become of them?
A30576You have an Affliction, but have you no Mercies?
A30576You will say, How long shall he continue so?
A30576You will say, How quick will the Lord be in the wayes of his Mercy?
A30576You will say, If it be so much Gain, why should any be so desirous to Live?
A30576You will say, Is this so great a matter?
A30576You will say, What is it that any Believer can have in lieu of his Forbearance of that Gain?
A30576Your Hearts are not now so taken with the Gospel, as they were at first; now you seem to be taken off from it: Where is the Blessedness you spake of?
A30576Your Peace shall be upon it: What''s that?
A30576am I the Woman to whom Jesus Christ shall be Preached, and shall not prevail?
A30576and do you so?
A30576and doth not this Recompence you for the trouble that you suffer, and the loss of your Estates?
A30576and it is in vain in respect of many Souls, and shall it be in respect of my Soul?
A30576have you thus bought the Pearl?

A172861. it is said, That Israel is an empty Vine; Why so?

A1728613. who say, What a wearinesse is this?
A1728622. when hee had the Syrians in the midst of Samaria, and the king of Israel askt him, Shall I smite them?
A1728626. it is said, What shall it profit a man if hee gaine the whole world, and lose his soule?

A17286Art thou indued with such a spirit as here thou maist find?
A17286As Tertullian sayes, in his Apologie against the Gentiles, Wherein doe we offend you?
A17286As for other mirth, I have said of laughter, it is mad, and of mirth, What dost thou?
A17286As if S. Paul should have said, What?
A17286As that blessed Martyr once said, What, have I but one life to lay downe for Christ?
A17286But how canst thou looke upon the face of the blessed God, when hee shall appeare in his glory unto thee?
A17286But how is that?
A17286But in what particulars should we manifest this choicenes of our spirits, in wayes differing from others?
A17286But is there not a proud phantasticall singularity?
A17286But what are those reserved mercies you speake of, that God hath for these?
A17286But what is this, to that mighty work of God upon this spirit, convincing of the infinite necessity, equity, beauty of his blessed wayes?
A17286But what say you?
A17286But what should be done that we may get another spirit?
A17286But what then would take off the heart, and carry it fully after the Lord?
A17286But wherein should we looke to our spirits?
A17286But you will say, how can I pray without the Spirit?
A17286Can you rejoyce in the greatest troubles?
A17286Certainly it can not be; You cry out of dissimulation, and that justly; But what is dissimulation, if this be not?

A17286How are many mens spirits employed about nothing else but to make provision for the flesh, and the filthy lusts of it?

A17286How farre are these from any communion with God?

A17286How sublime was Pauls spirit, when hee accounted all things dung, yet himselfe could bee contented to bee accounted an off- scouring for Christ?

A17286I will behave my selfe wisely, in a perfect way; oh when wilt thou come unto mee?
A17286IF godly men be men of another spirit, and this be their commendation; why then should any account it to be a dishonour to be singular from the world?
A17286IF the spirits of godly men bee thus pretious, how vile then is this base world, which hath such irrationall absurd conceits of this spirit?
A17286If he thus inlargeth himselfe towards thee, how unequall is it, that thou shouldest be scant in thy service to him, and in thine honouring of him?

A17286If mans authority doe this, how much more Divine?
A17286If mens bodies were deformed, and ranne with loathsome issues, and putrified sores, how dejected would they be in their owne thoughts?
A17286If mens bodies were so putrisied, that they bred vermine continually( as it is reported of Maximinus) how grievous would it be to them?
A17286If she had had such a base cowardly spirit as many, to think, Alas what good shall I do?
A17286If the Worthies of God in former times, had stood upon every difficulty, what had been done in Gods cause?
A17286If the treasure be rich, what though the vessell be earthen?
A17286Indeed we should the rather follow the Lord, because we see so few follow him: What?
A17286Is it not because he intends to give me my portion in this life, but reserves better mercies for them afterwards?
A17286Is it not better not to covenant, than not to performe?
A17286Is not here then as great an evill, in this way of dissimulation as in the other?
A17286It is a speech well knowne to Scholers; of how great use might it be, if God did settle it upon their hearts?
A17286It is reported likewise of Cambyses, who falling in love with his sister, he asked the Iudges whether it were lawfull for him to marry her?
A17286It was said of Ahab, that hee sold himselfe to work wickednesse; what a fulnesse of spirit was there in him, in doing wickednesse?

A17286Lord what will thou give me, so long as I goe childlesse?
A17286Now how great, how inconceiveable a dignity is this, for the poor creature to have this neare communion with God?
A17286Of what use are men whose spirits are so vile?
A17286Oh Lord, what are the spirits of men?
A17286Oh wretched creature what hast thou done?
A17286Oh, what great cause have we then to pray for these men, whose spirits are raised by naturall parts?
A17286Perhaps your Lands, your houses may be something worth, but what are your hearts worth?
A17286Quis hic est, qui implevit cor suum ad faciendum sic?
A17286Secondly, that which thou dost, though but weakly, is it upon divine grounds, and hast thou divine ends?
A17286Seneca has a strong speech concerning mans soule, What can we call the soule( sayes he) but God abiding in an humane bodie?
A17286Shall mans authority make small things to be accounted great, and shall Gods Authority doe nothing?
A17286So I may say of these, Oh that there were such a heart in them; How farre are they from having yet a heart to follow God fully?
A17286So shall God hereafter say to the men of the world, What were those men, and what did they, whom yee so hated and abused?
A17286Soule take thine ease, thou hast goods laid up for many yeares; what were all those to his soule, to the happinesse of his soule?

A17286The words are very emphaticall in the Hebrew, they are thus, Were yee not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
A17286Their way, their lives are singular; Why?
A17286Their wayes are different from other men; I, that is true indeed, who can thinke otherwise?
A17286Then Iulian answers, And if it be sufficient to be accused, who can be innocent?
A17286They are not valiant for the truth upon the earth: and what is the reason?
A17286Thine did I say?
A17286Thirdly, doth the sight of thy weaknesse make thee cling, and cleave unto Jesus Christ?
A17286To what purpose doe we live, if we be of no use?
A17286Wee reade of a notable speech, that Hilarion had when hee was to die; Goe out, goe out my soule, why dost thou feare, why dost thou doubt?
A17286Were hee onely my servant, though he were not Moses, were you not afraid?

A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286When Oecolampadius lay sick, his friends askt him, whether the light did not offend him?
A17286When the writing was signed, the Lions den threatned, did he mussle up his Religion, and shrink up his spirit?
A17286Where have we five such expressions together, to set out the fulnesse of the worke of mens spirits in following after the Lord?
A17286Where lies the power of godlinesse?
A17286Wherefore have wee fasted, and thou seest not, and wherefore have we afflicted our soules, and thou regardest not?
A17286Who are those that shal be thus abundantly satisfied, and shall have this River of pleasures?
A17286Who is he that hath filled his heart; in our Translations, That durst presume in his heart to doe so?
A17286Who knowes but that thy eternall estate may depend upon those sparkes that hee is now kindling in theé?

A17286Who such enemies to Christ; as the Scribes and Pharises, men of the strongest parts?
A17286Who such enemies to S. Paul when hee came to Athens, as the Philosophers there?
A17286Why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie unto the Holy Ghost?
A17286Why is not Ioshua mentioned likewise, for surely hee followed the Lord fully, as well as Caleb?

A17286You talke of merry hearts and joyfull spirits, but can you be joyfull in affliction?
A17286Your parts were alwayes hopefull, but how apparently have they beene raised since grace hath sanctified them?
A17286almost these seventy yeares hast thou served Christ, and dost thou now feare death?
A17286and can it not do so now?
A17286and shall not then our hearts and lives bee more fully after the blessed God?
A17286and thou my sonne Brutus too?
A17286and which so scornes and abuses men of such excellent spirits?
A17286and who is there, that being as I am, would go into the Temple to save his life?
A17286and, what thou?
A17286are these to the excellency of mans nature?
A17286are they not the blessed wayes of holinesse, the wayes of eternall rest and peace that thou hast left?
A17286as Christ said to his Disciples, when many forsook him, Will you also forsake me?
A17286can not a man bee saved except hee doe thus?
A17286doe they not bring more honor to his Name, than ever you did?
A17286doe they not doe God farre more service than you?
A17286doth holinesse, that makes God glorious, make man contemptible and vile?
A17286doth that which makes God so honourable in the eies of the blessed Angels and Saints, make man a sott, and a foole in the eyes of men?
A17286egredere anima mea, quid dubitas?
A17286for whom the Lord hath done such great things?
A17286hath Christ laid down his life,& shed his pretious blood for the renewing of Gods Image in man, and is it nothing but this?
A17286have not many of them most excellent pretious spirits?
A17286how contemptibly was hee used?
A17286how dejected are they then?
A17286how did they carry themselves?
A17286how disconsolate?
A17286how doe their hearts sinke like lead?
A17286how doth he difference a few odde contemptible people from the whole world?
A17286how great things will they suffer?
A17286how little would he be minded, or regarded?
A17286how loathsome is the mixture of their spirits?
A17286how soone is the heart brought fully to close with them?
A17286how would you have them live?
A17286in the vertue, in the power, and life of Christ Jesus, if it doth not enable to go beyond others?
A17286is godlinesse but a notion, but a conceit, that it will not carry men beyond the light of nature?
A17286is it absolutely necessary?
A17286is it not the God of life, and peace, and comfort, and all good, that thou hast forsaken?
A17286is this that Land that God said hee would shew me?
A17286is this that fruitfull Land for which I must leave my Country and all my friends?
A17286is this thy kindnesse to him?
A17286may not such a thing be lawfully done?
A17286not better fruit grow upon the tree of life, than upon the root of nature?
A17286not better fruit in the garden, in the vineyard of the Lord, then in the wildernesse?
A17286or was there never any thing that had as much difficulty as this in it?
A17286put into stocks, and whipped; wanted cloathes and victuals?
A17286septuagintaprope annis servisti Christo, et mortemtimes?
A17286shall I smite them?
A17286shall I then be glad of these wayes I now walke in?
A17286shall he have none to follow him?
A17286that was as unlikely as this, to come to a good issue and yet was at last accomplished?
A17286were they some vile- spirited men?
A17286what cost will they bee at?
A17286what was S. Paul, and what were those that were with him, who was so accounted of, were they not men of most excellent and admirable spirits?
A17286what was that, that raised and inlarged Davids heart?
A17286what?
A17286what?
A17286who ever had a higher straine of eloquence than Esay?
A17286who ever more profound than S. Paul?
A17286whom hast thou forsaken?
A17286why may not this then be done?
A17286will your spirits hold out in tribulation?
A17286wilt thou have thy blow also at him?
A17286would they not have thought it better to have been at more liberty?
A17286would you have them live according to the common course of the world?
A17286〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 5 Quid prodest esse, quod esse non predest?
A30585''T is mercy that our lives have not gone many times for Gods Glory; How often might God have glorified Himself in taking away our lives?
A305851. what weariness is there?
A3058517. where the holy Ghost saith, that God prepares the heart: And what then?
A3058521. there the Apostle speaking of the Heathens; he doth rebuke them; For what?
A305855. we find that Solomon when he was preparing for the Temple, he would build a great Temple, why?
A30585Am I worse than the Devils themselves?
A30585And by drawing nigh to God often, you will come to encrease your graces abundantly: your graces, how wil they act?
A30585And is God a holy God?
A30585And is it but this?
A30585And is not this a dreadfull thing then, to be guilty of not sanctifying of Gods Name?
A30585And then, what safety is there in being neer to God, especially in these dangerous times?
A30585And this can not be schism thus to do; As now if this schism?
A30585And what do you do when you Worship God?
A30585As Moses should say in Gods Name, I must, and will have glory from the people, And how?
A30585As if Moses should have said, Why do you contend for any more Honor, the Lord hath separated you, to bring you neer to himself?
A30585Because God is an Eternal God?
A30585Bring strange fire into Gods Service, What''s that?
A30585But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, The good Lord pardon every one; what, every one?
A30585But I have so many sins mixt with my prayers, how can I beleeve?
A30585But had God ever forbidden it?
A30585But hath God appointed that the great Ordinance for the converting and the edifying of souls in the way to eternal life?
A30585But then as for others that have made little or no conscience of sanctifying of Gods Name, how had they need be humbled?
A30585But then if you can answer thus, Thou O Lord didst require it: It is well: But then God hath another Question, Whose Image and Superscription is this?
A30585But then may a poor soul say, How shall I be able to stand before this God that is so glorious?
A30585But what is meant by an Honest Heart?
A30585But what is the meaning of the other, Say not, who shall ascend up into Heaven& c?
A30585But what saith it?
A30585But when the heart comes to it, in what manner should the duty be performed so as the Name of God may be sanctified in the duty?
A30585But where do we find that God spake this?
A30585But you will say, Is it not better for to be given into every ones hand?
A30585But you will say, Is it possible for any creature which comes to tender up its worship to God, to tender up that which is fit for a God to have?
A30585But you will say, May not an unregenerate man Pray?
A30585But you will say, What is the meaning of the plowing of our hearts for the preparation of the Word?
A30585Can there be too much to make thee happy?
A30585Consider, If thou doest not beleeve, what a case art thou in?
A30585Cursed be the deceiver which hath in his flock a male, and voweth and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: why?
A30585Dare I venture my soul and my eternal estate upon hopes that these things are not so bad as I hear?
A30585Did Jesus Christ come into the world for that end for to cause thee to depart more from God?
A30585Do not we find in Scripture that the Church had alwaies wicked men among them?
A30585Do not we see that men will rather favor their own Kindred than strangers, though the offence be the same?
A30585Do you come peaceably say they?
A30585Do you get nothing else but this by hearing Sermons?
A30585Doest thou say, Her''s a great deal?
A30585From whence is it that thou art unfit, but from the temptation of the Devil?
A30585Further consider, God as he is an eternal God, what sutable disposition doth this require of me when I am to look upon God as an eternal Being?
A30585God, He is the living God: What behavior then doth beseem me towards this living God?
A30585How comes it to pass that these are apostatized thus from God?
A30585How doth it appear that the Nation of Israel is a greater Nation than other Nations are?
A30585How hath God glorified himself?
A30585How is that?
A30585How many live without God in the world, and do declare to all the world that they are not of God?
A30585How?
A30585I am now going to God; for what?
A30585I appeal to any gratious heart, What canst thou want of any of these, or what wouldest thou want?
A30585I appeal to you, have you had that freedom in prayer, afterwards?
A30585I beseech you now lay this text to your hearts, Do you prepare your hearts to seek God?
A30585I have written unto you yong men, you are yong, you have strong natures, and so strength of nature for God: But how comes this to pass?
A30585I must sanctifie Gods Name, and how can I do that, except my heart be sanctified?
A30585If any of you should say, How can we sanctifie Gods Name, we are poor and weak, we can do little?
A30585If so be that thou sawest a knife that had cut the throat of thy dearest child, would not thy heart rise against that knife?
A30585If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hand towards him:( What then?)
A30585If you ask me, wherein it differs?
A30585If you do neglect duty in the morning upon any business, are you fitter to perform duty at night because of it?
A30585If you had but the Invitations of the Spirit now, that sometimes you have had, how happy were it for you?
A30585In the Worship of God there be two Questions that He will ask, First, Who required this at your hands?
A30585Is it not a sweet thing to be in his presence?
A30585Is not this honor enough?
A30585Is there a word presented?
A30585Is this all?
A30585It seems then that it is not enough to receive it with gladness?
A30585It was but a howling upon their beds: And how so?
A30585It was the speech of Cain if thou beest of the same body, you are to have a care of your Brother; do not ye Judg those that are within?
A30585Know you not that a little leaven leaveneth the whol lump?
A30585Let us draw neer( saith the Text) Who would not draw neer to God?
A30585Mark how he speaks, But it is good for me: Why?
A30585Mark the phrase, You fasted in the fifth and seventh month, and for seventy yeers together, but saith the Lord, Did you at all fast unto me?
A30585Must the People of Israel manifest their holiness in this, That they must eat nothing torn by beasts, but cast it unto dogs?
A30585Ninthly, If thou doest not sanctifie Gods Name in the hearing of the word, what comfort canst thou ever have by the word in the day of affliction?
A30585Now concerning that I''le but propound these few particulars; You will say, Must we beleeve every thing that is spoken?
A30585Now if I should come from one end of the Congregation to the other, and ask every one of you this Question, It is your duty to Worship God, Is it not?
A30585Now if you ask me in what particulars doth the behavior of the soul consist that is very sutable to the greatness of God in the general?
A30585Now then you will say, What should be done in the hearing Gods Word, so as Gods Name may be Sanctified?
A30585Now what doth this call for?
A30585Now when is there a time for the acting of our graces upon God, so as when we come to worship God?
A30585Now you will say, How doth God appear, that he doth not accept of them?
A30585Now you will say, How should a Beleever sanctifie the Justice of God?
A30585Oh fear and tremble lest your condition be such as to be nigh to cursing: Who knows what a day, a week may bring forth?
A30585Oh now, the good Word of the Gospel, how should we prize it, and keep it in our hearts?
A30585Oh what a good thing is it to be in the presence of God: Is not the Lord the fountain of thy life?
A30585One would have thought that these Priests offering Incense to the true God, what hurt was there in taking other Fire?
A30585Or was the holiness of the People of Israel such, as God required them, that they must eat nothing that was torn by beasts?
A30585Saith he, Go ye into al the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, and he that beleeveth and is Baptized shall be saved?
A30585Secondly, Suppose we do not find our hearts prepared as we do desire; Whether it were better to leave off the duty than perform it?
A30585So, our coming nigh to God is such a priviledg as cost the Blood of Christ; And will not you improve it?
A30585Suppose it be one of your own family, wil not you be ready to excuse them?
A30585Take it; how shal we take it?
A30585That is, That you should come to worship him, Is this a small thing to you?
A30585The Cup of blessing which we bless, it is not the Communion of the blood of Christ?
A30585The First is, Whether we ought at all times to set apart some time for Preparation to every duty of Gods Worship?
A30585The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Thou art separated from the world, To what end?
A30585The Lord is terrible out of his holy places: When we have to deal with God, who can stand before this holy God?
A30585The Lord there did acknowledg that they were very much affected in their prayers, but what was it?
A30585The Saints of God, the Children of Israel, the Church of God are said to be a people neer to God; Why neer him?
A30585The bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ?
A30585The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not Communion of the blood of Christ?
A30585The way to be assured that God will hear you, is by casting your selves upon God, how can you know that he will hear, but by resting upon him?
A30585Their parts act much before others, But what is there between God and their own souls?
A30585Then what sutable behavior doth become me?
A30585They have built a glorious Temple to God, but what do I regard that saith God?
A30585They were careful to offer their fattest beasts in their peace- offerings, and will not God regard them?
A30585Thinkest thou this O man that judgest them that do such things,& doest the same, that thou shalt escape the Judgment of God?
A30585This day if you should hear a voice out of the Clouds from Heaven speaking to you, would you not then listen?
A30585This is a strange Scripture: What, must a Prophet go to them to make their hearts fat, and to shut their eyes?
A30585Thou rejectest the Word, doest thou?
A30585To examine our selves of what?
A30585Trouble is neer many of you, perhaps there''s not a spans breadth between death and us, what a blessed thing is it then to have God to be neer us?
A30585We are bound to humble our selves before God, but here it is that he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the Prophet; Why before the Prophet?
A30585We know how it was with Adam, when God appeared in the Garden and called to him, he ran to hide himself; Why?
A30585Were they not struck with such fear that they thought they should die?
A30585What Nation is there so great as you are?
A30585What account had you been able to have given unto him?
A30585What did Mary choose?
A30585What do they come and draw neer me with their lips, and their hearts are far from me, and do they worship me in a formal way?
A30585What do you get this by going to Sermons?
A30585What doth a Father more delight in than to have his Children about him?
A30585What if we do not sanctifie Gods Name in this dutie?
A30585What is it then?
A30585What should a Child love most but to be in the presence of his Father?
A30585What then is the holiness of the infinite God?
A30585What was their sin?
A30585What would make you to attend to any thing?
A30585What''s the reason then that you sin so much with your bodies?
A30585What''s the reason why Heaven is said to be the presence of God, and why those that are in Heaven are said to live with God?
A30585What''s the reason why we wander so as we do, but meerly because we see not God?
A30585When ever thou art worshiping of God, do not satisfie thy self meerly in the duty done, but consider, Do I sanctifie Gods Name in the duty?
A30585When every toy, every feather, every light matter cals them off; Is this to Sanctifie Gods Name?
A30585When thou comest before God, Consider that thou comest to a merciful God: And what should this work?
A30585When thou comest to perform holy duties thou art troubled, Will the Lord have regard to such a duty as this is?
A30585When you go home, you must hold forth the power of the Word you hear: well, what wil become of that?
A30585Where do we find that ever God had forbidden them to offer strange Fire, or appointed that they should offer only one kind of Fire?
A30585Whether it be sinfull to pray for afflictions, as somtimes some will be ready to do?
A30585Whether it it be from the general Bounty and Patience of God, or from the special love of God in Jesus Christ?
A30585Who shall go down into the deep?
A30585Who shall go down to Hell to know there, whether that place be prepared for him or no?
A30585Why, canst thou make good the former, and appeal to God, that indeed it was thy care to make preparation?
A30585Why, did they not fear the Lord?
A30585Why, in what respects may a man be said to draw nigh to God when he Worships him?
A30585Why, is not God in every place?
A30585Why?
A30585Will God accept of a duty when I perform it, and am not set for it?
A30585Would you know whether you have received the Spirit of aboption yea or no?
A30585Yes, what then?
A30585You may ask me this Question, How may I know that I am acted by self- ends in holy Duties?
A30585You wil say, If a man have business in the world, how can this be?
A30585You wil say, Must it be received in a Communion of Saints?
A30585You will say, Are we bound to spend some time every time we go to prayer beforehand, or every time we come to the Word?
A30585You will say, Can any thing that is good come from the Devil?
A30585You will say, Can not we sit at home and reade a Sermon?
A30585You will say, God forbid: Have not I prayed, and heard the Word much, and received the Communion often, and yet have I never honored God?
A30585You will say, Here is a great deal of do in serving of God, how much is here that we must do?
A30585You will say, If God understand a mans heart, what need he come and confess?
A30585You will say, Must we plow up our hearts before we come to hear?
A30585You will say, Why is not the Word of the Law as nigh one as the Word of the Gospel?
A30585You will say, Why may not any time be said to be holy that I spend in holy duties?
A30585and in hearing the Word; and so likewise for receiving the Sacrament?
A30585and then mark how he doubled it, To me?
A30585and yet what a poor appearance is there of such people at the hearing of the Word?
A30585even unto me?
A30585even unto me?
A30585hath he Body and Blood, and human Nature upon him?
A30585have you actually renewed your covenant with God?
A30585how hath God honored humane Nature?
A30585is not Gods Name prophaned here?
A30585it was from hence, because he was so nigh to God: Would you have your faces to shine in a holy conversation before men?
A30585or what is the behavior of the soul in the sanctifying of Gods Name when it is in the very act of the duty?
A30585shall I give any occasion that this Word of the Lord should be spoken ill of by reason of me?
A30585sometimes there are some things spoken that we can not tell how to beleeve?
A30585that is, the Heathens and those that are in no communion with them, I have nothing to do to judg them; but do not ye judg them that are within?
A30585that you abbuse your body with uncleanness, and drunkenness, and other wickedness afterwards?
A30585the Lord is nigh unto all, to all that call upon him in truth; you will say, What is the meaning of that?
A30585the bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ?
A30585then me thought I could have gone through fire and water for God?
A30585thou hast ability in expressing of thy self in prayer: why, do thy parts commend thee to God?
A30585were the Word true yea, or no?
A30585what can I do?
A30585what do you go for?
A30585what fellowship hath Christ with Belial?
A30585what friends would you make to take him off from punishment?
A30585what if I were now going to receive the sentence of my eternal doom; Would I not then beleeve these things?
A30585what if wicked men do come there, will that hinder us from sanctifying Gods Name in partaking of the Sacrament with them?
A30585when ye go to prayr, Can you say that you take pains in preparing your hearts for it?
A30585whether he will accept of me, and of that obedience and worship that I tender up to him?
A30585who is the man, or where is he that will do this?
A30585will you not speak when you see the Fire kindling?
A30585would I not then think what I hear out of the Word to be true?
A30585would you give belief unto the suggestions of the Devil then?
A30585you that have taken the body of Christ, have you given up your body to Christ?
A30585you will not find it to be so: The forbearing a duty now, will not make the soul fitter for a duty afterwards?
A30566A mallefactor in prison is not executed many times, Why?
A30566A pardon of what?
A30566And Secondly, that whatsoever thou doest shal be accepted, though with much imperfection, how wouldest thou prize this?
A30566And have I a stock of grace from him to trade by, that what I trade by I have from him?
A30566And have I got ease and rest by virtue of the promises of the Gospel?
A30566And have I searched into the Covenant of Grace, and found there promises to convey comfort unto my soul?
A30566And if this prove to be my portion, it had been better ten thousand times I had never been borne, and is this a condition to rest in?
A30566And is not this a blessed Rest?
A30566And now, is not here rest for the soul?
A30566And then for the sabboth, you know what the scripture saith, what a sabboth is, it is nothing but rest, and is the saboth a day of Rest unto thy soul?
A30566And therefore we should when we come to any ordinance think with our selves, what have we of Christ, what have we of Christ here?
A30566And thus much for this first Particular, what the bondage is that the soul is under, that is under the Law; are you sensible of this?
A30566And what preaching was this?
A30566And why art thou afraid thou art not a beleever?
A30566And would not many of you say, as those in Malachy, When wil the sabboth be over?
A30566Are we able to go to the body of the Sun?
A30566Art thou one that is come to Christ, and brought to Christ?
A30566Art thou one that is in the state of beleevers, being a member of Christ?
A30566Art thou taken off from thy self and al the creatures?
A30566As for the First?
A30566As if he should say, the deliverance that I must have from this body of death, it is from God, but how?
A30566As it was in Adam, how come we to have so much sin conveyed to us by Adam by propagation, but thus?
A30566As now sickness of body, what a Burden is it?
A30566As we come to a friend sometimes, and desire somewhat of him, but how?
A30566As, do you exercise your faith for peace and comfort, and mainly for that?
A30566Because the Judg may out of favor reprieve him for a while, I but, is this a condition to rest in?
A30566Blessed Redeemer, dost thou cal us?
A30566But how shal this Law of sin and death be overcome?
A30566But is there any of you that are seeking rest and peace unto your souls in such a way by the righteousness of the Law?
A30566But now Schollars though it is tiresome to the flesh, they can go on and make it easy to them, why?
A30566But now in motion, what is the Reason that the fire ascends upwards?
A30566But now( for it is pitty to let this pass) it may be, some may think, wil not this tend to looseness to say, it s nothing else but to Come to Christ?
A30566But now, wherein do these promises appeare to be so precious?
A30566But then what are we delivered from in the Law by Christ?
A30566But you wil say wherein doth it appeare to be so glorious in regard of our corruption?
A30566But you wil say, alas, Christ is so glorious, how shal we come to him?
A30566But you wil say, hath not Christ suffered?
A30566But you will say, Is this the Law of God?
A30566Can not a Father chastise his Child and yet do it out of Love?
A30566Canst thou when thou art sorrowing for thy sins, present the sorrows of Jesus Christ by Faith unto the Father?
A30566Christ cals you; perhaps some of you may say, we have not been sensible of this; do you begin to understand it?
A30566Christ hath given thee Rest, wilt not thou do what thou canst to give thy brother rest too?
A30566Christ invites the heavy laden;[ heavy laden] what is that?
A30566Christ was made poor that he might make us Rich, doth therefore poverty trouble thee?
A30566Come to many beleevers that are ful of doubts and feares and why do they not beleeve?
A30566Come to me, say many, Why doth Christ call me?
A30566Do not you find it thus?
A30566Do they not live inoffensively?
A30566Do you begin to feel it somthing weighty upon your Hearts?
A30566Do you think the night is a night of Rest that is before the execution of a condemned man?
A30566Dost thou feel thy Heart drawn nearer to God?
A30566Dost thou find the discovering of thy Heart more, and the purging out thy Corruption more, and thy Heart quickned in the waies of God more?
A30566Doth God begin to let in some light to you?
A30566For a man and Woman to be in such a condition, as when he comes to examine, how doth things stand between God and my Soul?
A30566For he that said, thou shalt not commit adultery, said also thou shalt not kil: now where are these comandements, but in the ten commandements?
A30566For him to be made a curse for sinners, will that do it?
A30566For the first, Come to me, what is that?
A30566For you wil say, who is there that commits not sin?
A30566From being under the Covenant of works?
A30566God could deliver them from their Corruptions, why wil God make them cry out, O Wreched man that I am, who shal deliver me from this Body of Death?
A30566Hath my heart been exercised after this manner?
A30566Have I found the burden of my inward corruption?
A30566Have you any Burden in your Children?
A30566Have you any burden in your Yoke fellows?
A30566Have you any burden of poverty?
A30566Here is an affliction, but from whence doth it come?
A30566How do I know but I may be swallowed up in the Gulf of the eternal wrath of the infinite God, and there lie under it for ever?
A30566How dreadful doth God speak, and to whom?
A30566How is that you wil say?
A30566How much dost thou think the mercy of Christs coming to take Mans Nature upon him is worth, to take our sinful Nature upon him?
A30566How stand I to God?
A30566How wilt thou be able to look God in the face another day?
A30566How, you wil say, doth the Law of God give a strength to sin?
A30566I answer, What Rest?
A30566I come to Christ that I may commit my whole soul to him, is not this a sanctifying grace?
A30566I have borne the burden of sin already, Is it the wrath of God that is a burden to you?
A30566III Thirdly, It is a burden because it may be my holy profession is scandalized by it, and is not this a burden?
A30566In the word, prayer, sacraments, hath my heart been drawn neerer to Christ in them?
A30566Is it not a burden to be in this Condition?
A30566Is it not a mercy that thou art out of hel this day?
A30566Is it not worth a great deal of pains to come to Christ?
A30566Is it possible that the soul can have any rest in this Condition?
A30566Is it the burden of any affliction?
A30566Is the society and company of the saints a rest to the, or rather a trouble to thee?
A30566Is there Rest for such a Soul that is in this condition?
A30566Is there not that that will recompence all at last, whatever trouble there is at first, the work of humiliation and the like?
A30566It s mercy thou needest, and Mercy thou must have, or else thou art for ever miserable, and wilt thou reject this mercy?
A30566Jesus Christ is the thing that we seek for, have we him?
A30566Lord why castest thou off my soul, why hidest thou thy face from mee?
A30566Many Christians are laboring under the burden of their corruptions, a long time, why?
A30566Many Christians, they seek to have Christ, but why?
A30566Many men and women wil say, when they hear of the terrors of the Law, what doth this but harden us?
A30566Mark how Christ excuse them, they do not say when Christ comes and saith, can not you watch with me one hour?
A30566May we not appeale from Gods justice to Gods mercy seat?
A30566Men indeed count the sabboth a rest, Why?
A30566My God My God why hast thou forsaken mee?
A30566NOw for a word of Application: doth Christ cal for burdened Souls; to come to him that they may have rest?
A30566No, it would burn us up, how can we be able to go to the glory of God then?
A30566Now can any man be at peace when he is a condemned creature?
A30566Now doth thy soul enjoy more rest in the ordinances then in any other way?
A30566Now how shouldest thou entertain these threates?
A30566Now is not this a burden, for thee to loose the sweetness of thy Soul in communion with God?
A30566Now put all these together, and the soul that comes to be enlightened to understand these, do you not think that such a soul wil be burdened?
A30566Now then, is there any poor Soul that understands what these things mean?
A30566Now therefore, how should the soul come to be deliuered from the strength of sin?
A30566Now what a temptation is this?
A30566Now what duty is harder then restitution?
A30566Now what is this but to make faith legal?
A30566Now you will say, in what respect may the Law be said to be a Burden?
A30566Now, What ease is it to a beleever, to be freed from the throbs of Conscience, and the trouble of Heart that ariseth from the guilt of sin?
A30566One would have thought the chain should have gon along in that linke, but there is no mention of sanctification, Why?
A30566Or burden by reason of weakness in Body?
A30566Or what reference hath God to me?
A30566Pay every one their own, they do no wrong, they come to Church and serve God, what would they have more?
A30566Secondly, Come to Christ, Why?
A30566Shall it be cast upon this now?
A30566Sixthly, It is the end of thy Labor, what dost thou endeavor after?
A30566Surely Christ hath a great deal of virtue in him, that the very touch did heal her, and therefore he saith, who hath touched me?
A30566That God should not spare his only begotten son the Lord Jesus Christ, he wil not spare him, but thee?
A30566That ever were in this Restless condition?
A30566That is the reason that many upon their death beds lie Ro ● ring and Crying out so bitterly for their sins; and why?
A30566That there is no unworthiness of any sinner, be he what he will be, before this invitation, that is sufficient to hinder, Why?
A30566That they are in a Restless condition?
A30566That which I have committed to him, what is that?
A30566Their means perhaps is not more, their outward means, their parts in Nature is not more, whence grows it then?
A30566There are many poor troubled souls, whose consciences pul them on to duty, but why do they performe them?
A30566There are many souls that would come to Christ, why?
A30566Therefore it is apparent, there is a kind of commission of sin, that is an argument they are of the Devil, for they are the words of the Holy Ghost?
A30566Thirdly, The Burden of the Law is this; you may say; though it doth require perfect obedience; but wil it accept of no endeavours at al?
A30566This helps us about interest in comming to Christ, you wil say, come to Christ, but how shal I know that I have any right to come to Christ?
A30566This is the condition of al that are under the covenant of works; and is not this a load?
A30566To exercise faith upon Christ as poor, doth help to give ease and rest unto the soul, under the burden of the affliction of poverty?
A30566Upon their sick beds, and death beds, then men are burdened with Sin, and why?
A30566We hear Ministers speak of Morral men, such a one is a good Morral man, or such a one is a civil man, what would they have more?
A30566What a strange expression is this of a godly man?
A30566What an infinite grace of God is this?
A30566What did Christ say in the very verse before?
A30566What discoveries of Gods waies hast thou had, to draw thy heart to Christ?
A30566What do I know to the contrary?
A30566What do you account precious?
A30566What dost thou fear in regard of thy sins?
A30566What doth he mean by the Law of sin and death?
A30566What ease hath she, Why?
A30566What expressions are here for a godly man?
A30566What is Jesus Christ that doth cal you to come to him?
A30566What is it that unites thee to Christ?
A30566What is it to come and enter into our Chamber?
A30566What is the Reason that people hurry up and down in seeking after the things of this world?
A30566What is the happiness of heaven, but for the Saints and Angels to be exercised in magnifying the riches of God, and of Christ?
A30566What is the reason of this?
A30566What must the law stand in force then?
A30566What need then such a man or woman have any trouble in this world?
A30566What reference have I to God?
A30566What shal we say then?
A30566What should be the meaning of this?
A30566What was the Image that God made man in at the first?
A30566What were you able to answer?
A30566What wil disquiet one?
A30566Who are they that are in Christ and delivered from condemnation?
A30566Why can not I go to Christ?
A30566Why what restless Condition are we in, you might have said?
A30566Wilt thou seek thy rest in that which hangs upon nothing?
A30566Wilt thou yet go on in thy sins?
A30566Wilt thou yet prize thy lusts, before al that infinite good that is in Jesus Christ?
A30566Would not this burden the Soul?
A30566Would there not be a great deal of calme, quiet, and rest upon your spirits?
A30566Would they not have men civil?
A30566Would you have Mercy?
A30566Would you know whence?
A30566Would you know why, and how it comes to pass, that None that are out of Christ can have Rest unto their soules?
A30566Wretched Man and Woman that I am, who shal deliver me?
A30566Wretched Man that I am who shal deliver me from this Body of Death, Why?
A30566Wretched man, or Woman that I am, who shal deliver me from this Body of Death?
A30566You had need therefore take heed what you do when temptation to sin comes, take heed you do not break your bones, and your Leggs, Why?
A30566You have sinned against the Lord, and you are troubled, what shal we do?
A30566You know in time of danger, when any come and rap at the dore, wil you open the dore presently?
A30566You wil say then, why are you speaking al this while to exhort people to come to him, we are dead, and you had as good speake to dead men?
A30566You wil say, How is the Law a bondage unto those that are Godly, being the law of God?
A30566You wil say, Why then hath not al their stony hearts been taken from them because the promise is absolute?
A30566You wil say, can a man make too much hast to get assurance of Gods Love in Christ?
A30566You wil say, doth not God sometimes chastise his people for their sins?
A30566You wil say, it comes from Love, therefore God chastiseth not for sin, No?
A30566You wil say, what is there that can be higher than what we are inabled to do by God?
A30566You will say what is more?
A30566You will say what is that for Christ to reach forth his hand, and invite that way?
A30566You will say what should we do then?
A30566You will say, How doth that appear, that there is any such intimation of Gods go ● ness to a soul in particular when it is called to come to Christ?
A30566You will say, How shall we know it is the voyce of Christ?
A30566You will say, Shall that be such a Rest in performing of Holy Duties?
A30566am I able to come to him?
A30566and is it not a mercy that thou art not drowned in the sea?
A30566and say, Men and bretheren, what shal we do to be saved?
A30566and that we might sit in the ● himny corner and do nothing?
A30566and therefore it is but trusting in Gods mercy; and do we not do as others do?
A30566art thou so burdened with those inward corruptions in thy spirit, that the world can take no notice of?
A30566blessed Saviour, we are vild unworthy creatures, we lie under the weight and burden of the guilt of our Sins: and shal such as we come to thee?
A30566blessed Saviour,( saith the poor Sinner) thou art the Holy one of the Father; thou art God blessed for ever, and how should I be able to come to thee?
A30566but because the proper place of the fire is above: and that the Earth, and all heavy things fal downward?
A30566can this man have rest, if he do but understand this?
A30566can you rest now?
A30566come and cast this burden upon me, I have born the wrath of God; Or is it the burden of the Law?
A30566does God say, that if you first repent, and performe such and such duties that I require of you, then I wil take away your heart of stone?
A30566dost not thou work for thy self in al thy waies?
A30566dost thou think this wil be peace in the end?
A30566forgive us our Sins?
A30566hast thou not now a gracious offer?
A30566have we met with any thing of Christ here?
A30566have you not sought to bring it about by the works of the Law, and have thought to get rest and peace to your souls that way?
A30566how is he beforehand with us?
A30566if he called you to come to him for mercy, would you not come?
A30566is God so hard to his Creature as to command that which he gives no ability to perform?
A30566is it not the word of the Lord?
A30566is the root of it Gods displeasure, Gods wrath, Gods hatred?
A30566is the root of it the love of Christ to my soul?
A30566no trouble, wil you say, do not such and such things fal cross to them, such and such afflictions fal as cross to such men as any others?
A30566saith God, to his servants, have ye invited them to come in, and wil they not?
A30566shal we continue in sin that grace may abound?
A30566suppose we do endeauor to obey to the uttermost that we can?
A30566that there might be peace between God and my soul, that I might have assurance of Gods Love?
A30566that thou art brought to land, to heare one more offer to come to Christ?
A30566the way of God is so hard, and duty so strict, to live so exactly, who is able to do this?
A30566there is an affliction upon me, but what is the root of it?
A30566thou wretched soul, is not that that thou hearest in the word the truth of God?
A30566to be in debt, will not that disquiet one?
A30566what course have you taken to get it?
A30566what if the affliction comes to me for my sin, can I have rest then?
A30566what is it that gives interest in Christ?
A30566what is it that makes a member of Christ?
A30566what is the rest of Christ?
A30566what shal I do in this?
A30566what wil this man do when he shal be called to account for al his time, for al his opportunity for al his estate?
A30566what would Christ have you to do?
A30566wil you say, such a man is gone to his rest, that is gone to sleep upon the top of a mast?
A30566yes, certainly, one that is once come to Christ, wil not go from him again, why?
A30566you have some peace and comfort, but you shal not have so much holiness: but do you exercise your faith for holiness most?
A77988( So great) How doth it appear that the Nation of Israel is a greater Nation then other Nations are?

A7798821. there the Apostle speaking of the Heathens; he doth rebuke them; For what?
A779883 Thou mayest know it by this, wherein doest thou account the excellency of a duty to consist, either in thy self or others?
A779883 When ever thou art worshipping of God, do not satisfie thy self meerly in the duty done, but consider, do I sanctifie Gods Name in the duty?
A779884 Consider, If thou doest not beleeve, what a case art thou in?
A779885. we find that Solomon when he was preparing for the Temple, he would build a great Temple, why?
A779886. know you not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
A77988Am I worse then the Devils themselves?
A77988And Herod it is said of him, That he heard John Baptist gladly: It seems then that it is not enough to receive it with gladnesse?
A77988And is God a holy God?
A77988And is it but this?
A77988And is not this a dreadfull thing then, to be guilty of not sanctifying of Gods Name?
A77988And then faith is as the mouth; when thou commest to eat and drinke, how canst thou if thou hast not a mouth?
A77988And then what safety is there in being neer to God, especially in these dangerous times?
A77988And this can not be Schisme thus to do; as now is this Schisme?
A77988And what do you do when you Worship God?
A77988As if Moses should have said, Why do you contend for any more honour, the Lord hath separated you to bring you neer to himsef?
A77988As if Moses should say in Gods name, Why, I must have glory from the people, and how?
A77988Because God is an Eternal God?
A77988Bring strange fire into Gods service, What''s that?
A77988But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, The good Lord pardon every one, what every one?
A77988But I have so many sins mixt with my prayers, how can I beleeve?
A77988But had God ever forbidden it?
A77988But hath God appointed that the great ordinance for the converting and the edifying of soules in the way to eternal life?
A77988But if you were to die, and upon your sick and death bed if you saw the infinite ocean of eternity before you, what would you say then?

A77988But what is meant by an honest heart?
A77988But what saith it?
A77988But where do we find that God spake this?
A77988But you wil say, is it possible for any creature when it comes to tender up it''s worship to God, to tender up that which is fit for a God to have?
A77988But you will say, May not an unregenerate man Pray?
A77988But you will say, is it not better for it to be given into every ones hand?
A77988Can not we sit at home and read a Sermon?
A77988Can there be too much to make thee happy?
A77988Christ would have all his people look to the edification of their soules; and should I account that Schisme?
A77988Dare I venture my Soul and my eternal estate upon hopes that these things are not so bad as I hear?
A77988Did Jesus Christ come into the world to that end for to cause thee to depart more from God?
A77988Do you get nothing else but this by hearing Sermons?
A77988Doe not we see that men will rather favour their owne kindred then strangers, though the offence be the same?
A77988Doest thou say, Here''s a great deal?
A77988Fourthly, It s a Sacrament of Communion with God, and Communion with the Saints; now what Communion hath Light and Darknesse?
A77988From whence is it that thou art unfit but from the temptation of the Devil?
A77988God he is the living God: What behaviour then doth beseeme me towards this living God?
A77988Have you done thus when you have come to receive the Sacrament?
A77988Hear( saith the holy Ghost there) for the time to come?
A77988How comes it to passe that these are Apostatised thus from God?
A77988How hath God glorified himselfe?
A77988How is that?
A77988How many live without God in the world, and do declare to all the world that they are not of God?
A77988How terrible is the presence of God in his Ordinances then?
A77988I am now going to God; for what?
A77988I am to worship God, but how is my heart insnared and intangled in this and the other businesse?
A77988I appeal to any gracious heart, what canst thou want of any of these, or what wouldest thou want?
A77988I appeal to you, have you had that freedome in prayer, afterwards?
A77988I beseech you now lay this text to your hearts do you prepare your hearts to seek God?
A77988I beseech you observe it it is not enough that a thing is not forbidden, and what hurt is there in it?
A77988I have read of one Martyr, that when he was to die, and the fire a kindling, saith an Officer, What will not you speak when you see the fire kindling?
A77988I have written to you young men, you are youug, you have strong natures, and so strength of nature for God, But how comes this to passe?
A77988I must Sanctifie Gods Name, and how can I do that, except my heart be Sanctified?
A77988If it be appointed to nourish and increase grace, then surely there must be grace before; what nourishment can a dead child take?
A77988If so be that thou sawest a knife that had cut the throat of thy dearest child, would not thy heart rise against that knife?
A77988If thou prepare thine heart, and siretch out thine hand towards him: What then?
A77988If you ask me wherein it differs?
A77988If you do neglect duty in the morning upon any businesse, are you fitter to perform duty at night because of it?
A77988If you had but the Invitations of the Spirit now that sometimes you have had, how happy were it for you?
A77988In the Worship of God there be Two Questions that he will ask; First, Who required this at your hands?
A77988Is it not a sweet thing to be in his presence?
A77988Is not the Lord the fountain of thy life?
A77988Is there a word presented?
A77988Is this all?
A77988It is a wicked thing to use curses; but it s a most wicked thing to wish evill to others in a way of prayer; yet how many doe so?
A77988Let us draw neer( saith the Text) Who would not draw neer to God?
A77988Mark how he speaks, But it is good for me: Why?
A77988Mark the phrase you fasted in the fifth and seventh month, and for seventy years together, but saith the Lord, Did you at all fast unto me?
A77988Neer him, Why, in what respects may a man be said to draw nigh to God when he Worships him?
A77988Now concerning that I le but propound these few particulars; You will say, Must we beleeve every thing that is spoken?
A77988Now if I should come from one end of the Congregation to the other, and ask every one of you this Question, It is your duty to Worship God, is it not?
A77988Now if you ask me in what particulars doth the behaviour of the Soul consist that is very suitable to the greatnesse of God in the generall?
A77988Now is the presence of God in the very faces of his Saints terrible to a guilty conscience?
A77988Now what doth this call for?
A77988Now when is there a time for the acting of our graces upon God so as when we come to worship God?
A77988Now you will say, How doth God appear, that he doth not accept of them?
A77988Now you will say, How should a beleever Sanctifie the Justice of God?
A77988Oh fear and tremble lest your condition be such as to be nigh to cursing: Who knows what a day, a week may bring forth?
A77988Oh now the good word of the Gospel how should we prize it, and keep it in our hearts?
A77988One would have thought that these Preists offering Incense to the true God, what hurt was there in taking other Fire?
A77988Or was the holinesse of the people of Israel such as God required them, that they must eate nothing that was torne by beasts?
A77988Secondly suppose we do not find our hearts prepared as we do desire; whither it were better to leave off the duty then performe it?
A77988Suppose it be one of your own family, will not you be ready to excuse them?
A77988That is, That you should come to Worship him, is this a small thing to you?
A77988That saith, Who shall ascend into heaven to know the mind of God concerning me?
A77988The Cup of blessing which we blesse, is it not the Communion of the bloud of Christ?
A77988The Cup of blessing which wee blesse, is it not the Communion of the blood of Christ?
A77988The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Thou art separated from the world, to what end?
A77988The Lord is 〈 ◊ 〉 out of his holy places: When we have to deal with God, who can stand before this holy God?
A77988The Saints of God, the Children of Israel, the Church of God are said to be a people neer to God; Why neer him?
A77988The bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ?
A77988The first is, whither we ought at all times to set apart some time for preparation to every duty of Gods Worship?
A77988The way to be assured that God will hear you, is by casting your selves upon God, how can you know that he will hear, but by resting upon him?
A77988Their parts act much before others, but what is there between God and their own Souls?
A77988Then what suitable behaviour doth become me?
A77988There were three thousand in one day that did gladly receive the word; What an auditory had Peter at this time?
A77988They were carefull to offer their fattest beasts in their peace offerings, and will not God regard them?
A77988Thinkest thou this O man that judgest them that do such things,& doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgement of God?
A77988This day if you should hear a voice out of the clouds from heaven speaking to you, would you not then listen?
A77988This you will say was spoken to the Priests?
A77988Thou rejectest the word, doest thou?
A77988To examine our selves of what?
A77988We know how it was with Adam, when God appeared in the garden and called to him, he ran to hide himself; Why?
A77988Were they not struck with such fear that they thought they should die?
A77988What Nation is there so great as you are?
A77988What did Mary choose?
A77988What do they come and draw neer me with their lips and their hearts are far from me, and do they worship me in a formall way?
A77988What doth a Father more delight in then to have his Children about him?
A77988What if I were now going to receive the sentence of my eternall doome; would I not then beleeve these things?
A77988What if wee doe not sanctifie Gods name in this duty?
A77988What is it then?
A77988What should a Child love most but to be in the presence of his Father?
A77988What then is the holinesse of the infinite God?
A77988What was their Sinne?
A77988What would make you to attend to any thing?
A77988What''s the reason why heaven is said to be the presence of God, and why those that are in heaven are said to live with God?
A77988What''s the reason why we wander so as we do?
A77988When every toye, every feather, every light matter cals them off; Is this to Sanctifie Gods Name?
A77988When thou comest to perform holy duties thou art troubled, will the Lord have regard to such a duty as this is?
A77988Whether it be from the generall Bounty and Patience of God, or from the speciall ● oue of God in Jesus Christ?
A77988Who shall go down into the deep?
A77988Who shall go down to Hell to know there, whether that place be prepared for him or not?
A77988Why canst thou make good the former and appeal to God that indeed it was thy care to make preparation?
A77988Why is not God in every place?
A77988Why, did they not fear the Lord?
A77988Why?
A77988Why?
A77988Why?
A77988Would I not then think what I hear out of the word to be true?
A77988Would you know whither you have received the Spirit of adoption yea or no?
A77988Yes; what then?
A77988You may ask me this Question, How may I know that I am acted by self ends in holy duties?
A77988You say that you would fain withstand and not be overcome with temptations?
A77988You will say if a man have businesse in the world how can this be?
A77988You will say, Are we bound to spend sometime every time we go to prayer before hand, or every time we come to the Word?
A77988You will say, Can any thing that is good come from the Devil?
A77988You will say, God forbid: Have not I prayed, and heard the word much, and received the Communion often, and yet have I never honoured God?
A77988You will say, God is an Infinite Glorious God?
A77988You will say, Here is a great deal of doe in serving of God, how much is here that we must do?
A77988You will say, If God understand a mans heart, what need he come and confesse?
A77988You will say, Must we plow up our hearts before we come to hear?
A77988You will say, Why may not any time be said to be holy that I spend in holy duties?
A77988You will say, must it be received in a communion of Saints?
A77988You will say, shall we be the worse for one wicked mans coming?
A77988and drunkennesse?
A77988and other wickednesse afterwards?
A77988and then mark how it is doubled, To me?
A77988but then may a poor Soul say, how shall I be able to stand before this God that is so glorious?
A77988canst thou say this in the uprightnesse of thy heart?
A77988doe not wee finde in Scripture that the Church had alwayes wicked men among them?
A77988even unto me?
A77988even unto me?
A77988for I am a great King saith the Lord, and therefore cursed is he that doth not offer a Sacrifice suitable to my Greatnesse?
A77988hath hee body and bloud and humane nature upon him?
A77988have you actually renewed your Covenant with God?
A77988how?
A77988is not Gods name prophaned here?
A77988is not this honour enough?
A77988it was from hence, because he was so nigh to God: would you have your faces to shine in a holy conversation before men?
A77988it was the speech of Cain; if thou beest of the same body, you are to have a care of your Brother; doe not yee judge those that are within?
A77988oh how hath God honoured humane nature?
A77988shall I give any occasion that this word of the Lord should be spoken ill of by reason of me?
A77988sometimes there are some things spoken that we can not tell how to beleeve?
A77988that is, the Heathens, and those that were in no communion with them, I have nothing to do to judge them; but doe not yee judge them that are within?
A77988that you abuse your body with uncleannesse?
A77988the bread which wee break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ?
A77988they have built a glorious Temple to God, but what do I regard that saith God?
A77988we are bound to humble our selves before God, but here it is that he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet; Why before the prophet?
A77988were the word true yea or no?
A77988what friends would you make to take him off from punishment?
A77988what if wicked men doe come there?
A77988what''s the reason then that you sinne so much with your bodies?
A77988when the Lord in the preaching of his word did reveale Jesus Christ to thy soule, what didst thou then oh soule?
A77988when you go to prayer can you say that you take paines in preparing your hearts for it?
A77988where doe wee find that ever God had forbidden them to offer strange Fire, or appointed that they should offer onely one kind of fire?
A77988whether he will accept of me, and of that obedience and worship that I tender up to him?
A77988will not this hinder the spiritualnesse of my heart in Communion with God in prayer, when I come home at night?
A77988will that hinder us from sanctifying Gods name in partaking of the Sacrament with them?
A77988would you give beleif unto the suggestions of the Devill then?
A77988you that have taken the body of Christ, have you given up your body to Christ?
A3058231.33, 34 there God promises to put his law into our inward parts: But what''s the ground of it?
A3058233. he speaks as if he had made a challenge to all the world, let them all come in, let me see Who can lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A305825. what follows?
A305825. when she was asked; What is thy beloved?
A30582And now we have many things to say in the Application of these things, for the answer to that question, What shall we say to these things?
A30582And shall my creatures seek after it for no other end, nor higher aims, but meerly to save their own skins?
A30582And thus the pardons of God differ from all other pardons; a Prince pardons a Malefactor, or a Father a Child: but upon what terms?
A30582And what is a better instruction than to tell man the way of the pardon and forgiveness of sin?
A30582And yet David committed murder and adultery, and was not cast off; why?
A30582Are thy ways such, that Gods dealings with thee are as if thou wer''t a servant, and a home- born slave?
A30582As St. Paul says, the blessedness you spake of, Where is it?
A30582BUt if it be asked, Who are they that have their sins pardoned?
A30582Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits; Why?
A30582But may not a pardoned man have these fears, or somewhat of the nature of them resting on his spirit after he is pardoned?
A30582But what are the grounds of your hopes; why you think God will not proceed against you for your sins, but will pass them by, and forgive you?
A30582But who are they that dishonour this great work of God?
A30582But you will say, Who are they?
A30582Can you look for that blessed hope with comfort, and expect the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ?
A30582Can you say, my life is so, though I have many weaknesses, yet I hope something of the glory of God appears in me?
A30582Collect your selves, and say, Why do I determine of my everlasting condition?
A30582Conscience speak freely and fully: What is there in Heaven against me?
A30582Consider and call to remembrance what the dayes of old were?
A30582Could he not have forgiven him by his absolute Prerogative?
A30582Did ever any Child of God make use of Scripture to reason for sin in such a wicked way, for to presume to sin, because God is willing to pardon?
A30582Do you find sin now a burden to your souls?
A30582Do you live and walk as one that hath the Kingdom of Christ within you?
A30582Does not thy sin hinder Gods grace to thee; and shall trouble and affliction hinder thy glorifying God?
A30582Does thy heart work thus?
A30582Does your vain thoughts still abide with you as they were wo nt to do?
A30582Dost thou not watch over my sin?
A30582Further, Thou saist God is merciful, and thererefore thou hop''st for pardon: Why?
A30582Further, Thou speakest of mercy; hast not thou abused and turn''d mercy into wantonness?
A30582God is more delighted in the work of thy heart closing with free grace, than in all the legal works of humiliation; what says Christ?
A30582God is speaking there to his own people: Is Israel a servant?
A30582God speaks it with pity, Israel is my dear Son; How comes it to pass that he is as a home- born slave?
A30582Hast not thou the Conscience, and the rather upon the knowledge of this, to keep Gods Commandements?
A30582Hast thou not turn''d the grace of God into wantonness, and abused it, when thou heardest that God was merciful?

A30582Have you not heard this?
A30582Have your hearts been taken with the great mysteries of godliness, and wrought upon by the infinite grace of God?
A30582Having spoken of these general things, I come now more garticularly to the other part of the Question, What is to be done?
A30582He is near that justifies me, who will contend with me?
A30582How comes it to pass that your hearts are so taken off from the esteem you then had of it?
A30582How does matters stand betwixt God and thee?
A30582How few of you now this morning that are come into the presence of God, have had your thoughts working thus?
A30582How in former times it was with you, when you were seeking the pardoning grace of God?
A30582How is it between God and me?
A30582How readily will they say, with the Prophet, How beautiful are the feet of those that bring( such) good tidings?
A30582How sweet and acceptable will this be to such fou ● s, that by the former argument have been made apprehensive of the dreadful evil of it?
A30582How would the damned spirits sing and rejoyce, and look about them to attend this message?
A30582I may allude unto it, and it is an argument of great force, Is the iniquity of Peor too little, from which we are not cleansed to this day?
A30582I verily fear that many of you that hear me this day, if we could but hear Conscience speak, would answer, What?
A30582I will not again curse the Ground any more for mans sake; why?
A30582I, but the Scripture says, God imputes faith for righteousness; and when God inables us to believe, Is it not our own?
A30582If all outward good be not a mercy unless sin be pardoned, then what good wilt thou or any one get by the increase of sin?
A30582If it have been thus with your spirits?
A30582If these things be so, if God thus gloriously appear, in the riches of his grace for the pardon of sin; What shall we then say to these things?
A30582If this be to dishonour the pardoning grace of God; what would you have us to do?
A30582Is Christ as King and Soveraign over your thoughts, words and actions?
A30582Is he a home- born slave?
A30582Is he a home- born slave?
A30582Is it not the greatest affliction?
A30582Is there any thing upon Record that I am charg''d withal?
A30582Is this the frame of thy heart, to be careful above all things in the world, that thou mightest not dishonour this precious grace?
A30582It may be some of you go thus far, not to content your selves with a dead hearted sluggish Prayer: But what do you look to all the day after?
A30582It''s this, that we are justified by Faith and so come to have peace with God; How does this cause the heart to be inlarged?
A30582Lord wilt thou come in thus to thy people in such an abundant way of mercy more than formerly, and let in these graces of thy Covenant; Why?
A30582May it not be said of you, Where is the sence of the Evil of Sin you spake of?
A30582May not they say, that though they do sin, yet there is a Pardon laid in before hand for them?
A30582Ministers of the Word are Ministers of Reconciliation that God hath given to his People: what is that?
A30582No more now, what sin will have me to do?
A30582No, now I see the ways of Life and Salvation are the only blessed ways; Now Lord, What would''st thou have me to do?
A30582Now this you are to examine your hearts upon; What of the Kingdom of Christ you have within you?
A30582Now what shall we say to those things?
A30582O my soul how is it with thee?
A30582Of righteousness: What is that?
A30582PArdon of Sin makes a m ● ● blessed; Why?
A30582Quest Well, but what would you have us to do?
A30582Secondly, Others say, I am not only sorry for my sins, but I reform; and is not this a ground of pardon?
A30582Shall Christ say, notwithstanding all my sorrows, let thy sin be pardoned, and I have enough?
A30582Shall I go on then to add sin unto sin to make the work greater?
A30582Shall I satisfie any base lust, with the neglect of him?
A30582Shall I venture upon it?
A30582Shall he say, there would be better Auditors in Hell than are here?
A30582Shall not I be content to leave any thing to serve him?
A30582Should we again break thy Commandements?
A30582Sin shall not have dominion over you; why?
A30582Suppose there were no evil of guilt or punishment, yet an ingenious gracious spirit would never do it; What shall I sin, because God will pardon?
A30582The Sacraments, for what purpose hath Christ ordained them?
A30582This should be a mighty ingagement upon thy spirit; Has God made thee equal to them in Justification?
A30582Thou that takest liberty on this ground to blaspheme the Name of God; What thinkest thou will become of thee another day?
A30582To wind up all, those that know what pardon of sin is; how do they spend their time, and lay out themselves to get assurance?
A30582Turn from all sin and keep all Gods Statutes then, or, How can you do that is lawful and right then?
A30582Well, now you would have mercy, Why now, and not before?
A30582What Evils have you reformed in your families, and in your own hearts?
A30582What acclamations would there be in Hell in the mid''st of those fiery flames?
A30582What do you mean by that, how shall we know whether we be called or no?
A30582What glory of God is come into your hearts, and appears in your lives and conversations?
A30582What guilt is it thou hast upon thy Spirit?
A30582What hast thou to do in the way of Egypt?
A30582What hath Divine Justice to charge thee withal?
A30582What holding up of hands and rejoycing would there be to hear of such a thing, that there is a possibility on any terms?
A30582What if he will pardon the most notorious gross sins in others, and damn thee for thy sins in thoughts?
A30582What is become of all that strength and power the Doctrine of Remission of Sin had upon your hearts?
A30582What is become of it?
A30582What is the end for which Christ hath set up this great Ordinance?
A30582What is the end of thy way like to be?
A30582What is the glory of a justified soul?
A30582What is the matter?
A30582What is the travel of Christs soul?
A30582What say''st thou against me that I may get it blotted out now, that it may not be read against me at the day of Judgment?
A30582What shall I magnifie the riches of my grace so wonderfully in this work of my pardoning mercy?
A30582What shall we say then, Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A30582What''s the meaning of this blessedness?
A30582What, have you not a mightier Argument to draw your hearts to God, after he hath spoke peace, than ever you had before?
A30582What, is Gods grace so free?
A30582What, is he a servant, and brought into such a condition as a servant or a slave?
A30582What, is the iniquity of your youth too little that you committed, and mispent your time when you were Prentice, or lived in such and such a family?
A30582What?
A30582When he gives quietness, who can give trouble?
A30582Where is it?
A30582Where is that bitterness upon your hearts, on the convictions you had of the evil of sin?
A30582Where is that filial ingenious spirit of thine, that God is fain to deal with thee as now he doth?
A30582Where is then the blessedness you spake of?
A30582Wherefore then served the Law?
A30582Whither art thou a going?
A30582Who is a God like to thee; who in all the world can pardon sin as God doth?
A30582Who is a God like unto thee that pardoneth iniquity and passeth by the transgressions of the remnant of his heritage?
A30582Why do I make such conclusions that my state is naught, because of the stirrings of such and such corruptions?
A30582Why?
A30582Why?
A30582Why?
A30582Why?
A30582Will not this be presumption for a sinner thus to lay hold on Christ?
A30582Wilt not thou now say; and let me have Christ and I have enough?
A30582Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, my Father, thou art the guide of my youth?
A30582Would you have us go on to believe and doubt no more?
A30582You will say, How must we seek it?
A30582all thou hast now is not a good, is not a mercy; and dost thou think to get good by the increase of sin?
A30582an excellent place, The Word of God is quick and powerful; but what word is it?
A30582and dost thou still go on to heap up more and more sin, as if the pardon of thy sin was nothing?
A30582and shall I strike this Blasphemer says another?
A30582and what is to be done?
A30582and what this and that; and the other lust will have me to do?
A30582and when he hides his face, who then can behold him?
A30582as if he had said, Lord, how does thy glory appear in the Justification of a sinner, and pardoning his sin through Jesus Christ?
A30582before you had other things, and you quieted your hearts with them; and why not now, were not they mercies?
A30582certainly, the soul that is pardoned, can not but answer God so far as this; Will God justifie me notwithstanding my sin?
A30582does my heart work so in it as that I can satisfie my own Conscience in the work I do?
A30582for, I bear you record, if possible, you would have pluckt out your own eyes, and given them to me: Where is then the blessedness you spake of?
A30582he answered, Lord thou knowest I love thee; Christ puts it to him again; Lovest thou me?
A30582he does not grant it, but reject it with a horrible indignation, God forbid, What?
A30582he gave him this answer, says he, I can not live, and what shall I now think of Uncleanness and Fornication?
A30582he is in the way of Egypt; so it may be said to thee who walkest in the sensual drossiness of thy spirit; Hast thou not been in the way of Egypt?
A30582he would not take his first answer, but puts it to him the second and third time, Lovest thou me?
A30582how should''st thou labour to be like to them in Sanctification?
A30582if it be so with thee?
A30582let us stand together: Who is my Adversary?
A30582or how many wayes may we be guilty in sinning against this great mercy of God in forgiveness of sin?
A30582or, Whether we can joyn with that Church wherein there is no power to keep them out, and after they are crept in to cast them out?
A30582perhaps the mercy thou speakst of, now is at this very present pleading to God against thee; saying, how have I been abused by this wretched man?
A30582says Paul, Where is the blessedness you spake of?
A30582says you, first we give our word one to another, says God you shall have that, I give you my Word; What have you else?
A30582shall Christ be so sensible of the waight and burden of sin, when he was to suffer, that he should seek the Father with such Prayers?
A30582so I may say to sinners going on in their sins; Is the iniquity of Peor too little, from which you are not cleansed to this day?
A30582so after God has delivered us from condemnation, the guilt of sin, and the spirit of bondage; What?
A30582that God should have such thoughts of such mercy and grace in the pardon of sin, as we have heard; What shall we say to it?
A30582that I might have my sins forgiven, and have assurance of it; Why, says God, what way do you take to make things sure from one to another?
A30582that we know not what to say, there is so much of thy glorious grace appears, that our mouths are stopped; What shall we say to these things?
A30582the answer will be, What see I?
A30582the more my beauty& excellency hath been displayed, the more wicked he hath grown; what if mercy be now pleading against thee?
A30582the soul that hath true pardon of sin, hath fetch''t it from Heaven in a right way, in Gods own way; How is that?
A30582the way to true happiness?
A30582then you have acted faith in a Gospel way, and your sins are pardoned: Again, Are you pardoned?
A30582this is the good will and pleasure of God; and David was called a man after Gods own heart; Why?
A30582thou think''st it now a fit time to cry for mercy; why?
A30582thou think''st it to be a good; Why?
A30582to make use of the grace of God to further sin; Shall we stand to answer these men, in the horrible reasoning of their hearts?
A30582to sin that grace may abound, God forbid: What?
A30582we read of one came running after Christ, saying, What shall I do to be saved?
A30582what God hath to charge them withal?
A30582what if he will pardon the most notorious uncleanness and murder in another, and damn thee for a wanton thought?
A30582what shall I do?
A30582what shall wandring and discouraging thoughts bring you to look down all the day?
A30582what shall we say to these things?
A30582what would they do?
A30582when God gives quietness, as he doth in forgiveness of sin, then who can make trouble?
A30582when we tell them of their sins, they say, they hope to repent; What do they mean?
A30582whether God hath any thing against them, yea or no?
A30582why God should not declare against thee according to his Law?
A30582with strong cryings and tears, What?
A30582— In the days of his flesh, observe, Christ in the days of his flesh, did offer up Prayers and Supplications; How?
A30582— Would''st not thou be angry with us, should we again sin, would''st thou not consume us?
A30582— some there were that did abuse the grace of God to sin; How does the Apostle rise with indignation against that abominable wickedness?
A30598( that was a degree beyond murmuring) saith he, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women, shall we receive good at the band of God and not evil?
A30598( you know the place) A sword shall pierce thorow thy soul, why?
A305981 How below the relation of a Christian?
A305986. what is the Arms of a Christian?
A30598A contented man is a self- sufficient man, what is the great glory of God but to be happy and self- sufficient in himself?
A30598A further consiadertion is this, The creatures do suffer for us, why should not we be willing to suffer, to be servicable to God?
A30598A man when he comes into an Inn, If there be a fair cupbord of plate he is not troubled that it is not his own, Why?
A30598A second answer I would give is this, Is it unexpected?
A30598A speech of Job to his wife, what saith Job when his wife would have had him curse God and die?
A30598Am not I better to thee than ten sons?
A30598Am not I to thee( saith Elkanah to Hannah) instead of ten Children?
A30598And how long shall I bear with them?
A30598And now hath God given to you the Contentment of your hearts?
A30598And so a Christian should reason the case with himself, what am I discontented for?
A30598And so again, Am I disgraced, dishonoured, is my good- name taken away?
A30598And the people of Israel in their other Captivity, there were mountains before them; what straights did God put them into?
A30598And then doth he want honour?
A30598And what was it that God would do unto them?
A30598And why art thou disquieted within me?
A30598And yet in the 10. verse, And he hath brought thee neer to him, and all thy Brethren the Sons of Levi with thee, and seek ye the Priest- hood also?
A30598And your labour for that which satisfieth not?
A30598As now a Scholer that hath great learning and understanding in Arts and Sciences, how did he begin it?
A30598Because God is gone wilt thou go too?
A30598Because he is going away; so let us not be troubled when we see othar men have great estates, but we have not, why?
A30598But again, Is God about to humble me?
A30598But hath Paul a self- sufficiency you will say?
A30598But my people would not hearken to my voice, and Israel would none of me[ what then?]
A30598But then, what is this quietnesse of spirit opposed unto?
A30598But what comfort is this if it doth befal me?
A30598But what do you think of a King to give account for all the disorder and wickednesse in a Kingdom that he possibly might have prevented?
A30598But where is the power of God, the glorious power of God?
A30598But you wil say, it is true, If I could honour God in my low estate as much as in my prosperous estate then it were somewhat, but how can that be?
A30598But you will say now, hath faith warant to beleeve deliverance, that it shall be fully delivered?
A30598But you will say, In time of danger may we not fly?
A30598But you will say, This that you speake of is good indeed if we could attain to it, but is it possible for one to attain to this?
A30598But you will say, What do you understand by Gods waies?
A30598But you will say, What good then is there in such a promise that God makes to his people?
A30598But( might other Levites say) how hath God prefer''d this family before us?
A30598But( saith Sineus) when we have all in our hands, what shall we do in the end?
A30598By faith we understand that the worlds were made, by faith we understand it: why by faith?

A30598Cut them not off, why?
A30598David did fly from Absolom, and yet what confidence had David( in that case) in God?
A30598Did''st thou take pains with resolution, that thou must have such a thing when thou labourest for it?
A30598Do I indeed feel God departing from me?
A30598Do''st thou think it such a weak thing that because it doth not please thee it must alter it''s course?
A30598Dost thou murmur because once thou wert better?
A30598Doth God give us gifts and parts?
A30598First, The relation thou standest in to God: Do''st not thou call God thy father?
A30598For first, Is thy eye evil because God hath been good to thee heretofore?
A30598From whence are wars, and strifs, are they not from your lusts that are within you?
A30598God gives me an opportunitie in this to honour him in this affliction more than other men?
A30598God hath given you those good things that makes Angels glorious, is not that enough to you, though you want what thing a fly hath?
A30598God here threatens to bring his curse so upon them, as to make them a wonder and a sign to others, why?

A30598How long wilt thou go about?
A30598How many reckon you him for, that is the Captain of all our Hosts: Have not prayers been sent up to God?

A30598I am now in a murmuring discontented way, but how did I feel my soul working when God did turn my Soul to himself?
A30598I commit further sin and so I go further off from God, what a case am I in?
A30598I have all: Alas poor man what had Paul that could make him say he had all; where was there ever man more afflicted than Paul was?
A30598I have learn''d to be Contented; Learn''d, what lessons have you lern''d?
A30598I remember Austin hath such an expression, What is this thy faith?
A30598I should prepare for poverty, have I health now?
A30598I should prepare for sickness, have I liberty?
A30598If God be in a way of mercy, why deals he thus with us?
A30598If God should anihilate me what loss would there be of me?
A30598If you should give a friend, a kinsman, a purse of money to go and trade withal, and he should come and say, what do you give me?
A30598If you your selves were content with the world without grace, there''s reason you should be content with grace without the world?
A30598In general you would submit to any thing: but what if it be in this and that particular, that is most crosse to you?
A30598In the house of the Righteous is much Treasure, his house, what house?
A30598In this manner, art thou afflicted, and is there a great load and burden upon thee by reason of thy affliction?
A30598Is God about to raise me, to comfort me?
A30598Is it not Gods hand, and must thy will be regarded more than Gods?

A30598Mark, God swears against a murmurer; sometimes in your discontent you will be ready to swear( it may be,) do you swear in your discontent?
A30598Now in what disposition of heart do we thus ● ouch to God more, than when we have this Contentation in all conditions that God disposed us unto?
A30598Now shall Gods mercies aggravate our sins?
A30598Now when I perform a duty, I worship God, I do what pleases God: why should I not as well worship God when I am pleased with what God doth?
A30598O my Soul why art thou disquieted?

A30598Saith Sineus, Indeed it is likely which your Grace speaketh: But when we have won Italy, will then our wars end?
A30598Secondly, If it were greater than others: why is thy eye evil because the eye of God is good?
A30598Secondly, Thou didst heretofore more prosper, did God heretofore give thee more prosperity?
A30598Secondly, When thou did''st take a great deal of pains, was it not with submission to God?
A30598Seek ye the Priest- hood also?
A30598Shall one that will sit still and be of no use, yet for all that he must have all the supply that possibly he can desire?
A30598So I may say to every discontented impatient heart, what shall the providence of God change it''s course for thee?

A30598Take heed of murmuring as some of them did,( he speaks of the people of Israel in the wildernesse,) but saith he, what came of it?
A30598Take heed then that we have not our hearts sinck, because of straights: Let us not say, why is it thus with us?
A30598That every Christian should do: have I an estate now?
A30598That then the heart begins to reason as he in the Kings, If the Lord should open the windows of heaven how should this be?
A30598That which God gave you before, upon what terms did you hold it?
A30598The Saints in Heaven have not houses, and lands, and money, and meat and drink, and cloaths, you wil say, they do not need them; why do they not?
A30598The profession of a Christian, what''s that?
A30598Then can''st not thou have as much Contentment with God and Christ without the world, as they can with the world without God and Christ?
A30598There is in the work of thy turning to God the giving up of thy self to God in an everlasting Covenant?

A30598Thirdly, Is thy affliction greater than others?
A30598Thou art crost in thy desires, now thou art discontented and vext and fretted at it, is that thy only misery that thou art crost in thy desires?
A30598Thou saiest thou canst not bear it, why doest thou think that Christ could not bear it?

A30598Till your poverty be removed?
A30598Vse, Is it so with us?

A30598What do you think that such a cross and affliction doth sting you?
A30598What doest thou think there is no way for the Contentment of thy spirit but this getting off thy burden?
A30598What doth this murmuring discontented heart of thine do otherwise but wrangle and contind and strive even with God himself?

A30598Will this help him?
A30598Wilt thou be a Rebel against God?
A30598Wilt thou be above God?
A30598With what relation( you will say?)
A30598You give me somewhat to drink, and my wound is in my arme, or in my leg, what good will this do that I put in my stomack?
A30598You will say how is that?
A30598You will say how is this?
A30598You will say, Can I have the strength of Christ?
A30598You will say, I, but you do not know what our afflictions are, our afflictions are so as you do not conceive of them because you feel them not?
A30598You will say, how are they my servants, I can not command them?
A30598You will say, how are they sure, their lives and estates go as well as others?
A30598You will say, wherein is this graciousness of Contentment distinguisht from all these?
A30598according to our imployment?
A30598and do''st not thou stand in relation to him as a child?
A30598and hath not God heretofore delivered me from great straights and extremities, even from the wrath of God himself, and from his justice?
A30598and have said, Husband, why go we from our own Country, and our friends, and so are brought into such straights?
A30598and how might I have honoured my profession?
A30598and is this thy faith?
A30598and rise then, and beat it down with the contrary grace?
A30598and what a deal of comfort might I have enjoyed?
A30598and what am I in comparison of Christ?
A30598and will he not with him give thee all things?
A30598art thou a Christian to that end?
A30598art thou he that hath cast thy soul upon Jesus Christ for all good?
A30598as he saith in another case, Is this thy faith?
A30598but still you are discontented with what you have and must have more, seek ye yet more?
A30598but the Lord knows it hath been far otherwise, Oh how far have I been from this grace of Contentment that hath been opened to me?
A30598but this may be but a temptation, therefore you should rather think, What doth God require of me in the condition I am now brought into?
A30598do we more in our cause?
A30598do you murmur and repine?
A30598doth God make the creature suffer for my use?
A30598for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth: How long wilt thou go about, Oh thou backsliding daughter?
A30598for which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: And what is Aaron that ye murmur against him?
A30598had they done any thing amisse?
A30598hast thou ever tryed this way of getting contentment, to act thy faith upon all the pains and sufferings that Jesus Christ did suffer?
A30598hath the love of God bin to thee to give thee his Son in way of marriage?
A30598have I comfort and peace now in my conscience, doth God shine upon me?
A30598have not you enough already?
A30598have you suckt this sweetnesse from the Covenant and content to your hearts in your sad conditions?
A30598how can I then be so much troubled for every little affliction?
A30598how could I bear it?
A30598how generally was it there in their Kingdom, and shall it be acknowledged they are loving subjects doing so much, and we be accounted Rebels?
A30598how know I, but that God may have glorious ends, to work out of these extremities and troubles I am in?
A30598how much of his spirit have I upon me that can find no rest at all?
A30598how?
A30598if Christ could bear it, why mayest not thou come to bear it?
A30598is God about to break my heart, and to bring my heart down to him?
A30598is it not lawful to avoid danger and to fly?
A30598is it through the strength of his patience?
A30598is this thy help?
A30598it''s a speech of Jonadab to Amnon, Why art thou, being the Kings Son, lean from day to day, wilt thou not tell me?
A30598let me prepare my self for imprisonment?
A30598must men keep their stations?
A30598must you of necessity go among them?
A30598nay, have we done so much in our cause, as they have done?
A30598not only for my nourishment, but for my delight; what am I then in respect of the infinit God?
A30598now thou hast them, Is not there enough in them to quiet thy heart for some privat trouble thou meetest withall in thy family?
A30598one married to Jesus Christ& yet troubled and discontented?
A30598or your children, Do you deserve it that you are so eager upon it?
A30598perhaps such an affliction is upon you, and it seems to be grievous for the present, what?
A30598speaking of riches; Why blessed God dost not thou do so?
A30598such a perplexity as we are now in?
A30598such comforts as thou murmurest for want of; hath not God given thee his Son?
A30598the son of a King, shal he have every base fellow to come and bid him bow down that he may tread upon his neck?
A30598then consider, consider what?
A30598then in this thou hast an opportunity to honour God more than others; so thou shouldest consider, Doth God afflict me more than other men?
A30598then you would be content, why?
A30598thou murmer?
A30598was it not that thou mightest walk with God in the place that God had set thee?
A30598was the creature any other to thee but a Conduit, a pipe that did convey Gods goodnesse to thee?
A30598we will be more beleeving, and trust in God, and not be afraid, have we not a good cause, and is not God with us?
A30598were they worth having if we return to our bondage again?
A30598what abundance of honour I might have brought to the Name of God?
A30598what can I think now, are those duties that God requires of me in the condition that he hath now put me into?
A30598what canst thou do by thy faith?
A30598what did I ever promise thee,( saith he) that thou shouldest ever flourish in the world?
A30598what had they done?
A30598what hath God given you such things, and yet will you be murmuring, because you can not have more?
A30598what is the health of a mans soul?
A30598what know I what God may call me to?
A30598what talk you of Salvation( might they say to Moses) when there is nothing but distruction before us?
A30598what unthankfulnesse is here?
A30598what unwise course do I take?
A30598what''s the matter?
A30598what?
A30598when Moses came to tell them of their deliverance, the text saith, He spake to the Children of Israel, but they hearkned not to him: why?
A30598when they come in straights, how must their hearts sink in horror, because all their straights are no other, but the beginning of eternal straights?
A30598where''s the strengthening with all might, unto all long- suffering and patience and that with joyfulnesse?
A30598wherefore do you tempt the Lord?
A30598while I have this let me prepare for Gods withdrawing from me: am I delivered from temptations?
A30598who is this?
A30598why art thou discontented and murmuring?
A30598why should I not give up my self to God, to have his will upon me?
A30598why should I stand much upon it to be troubled and discontented if I have not this and that, when the truth is I can do nothing?
A30598why should any creature be servicable to thee, who art so little servicable to God?
A30598why should not I yeild to Gods providential will as well as to his commanding will?
A30598why shouldest thou be discontented the more because God is gracious to others?
A30598why were they so long in the wildernesse?
A30598will God have regard to such a one that is in such a poor low place as I am?
A30598wilt thou rise in a way of Rebellion against the infinite God?
A30598wilt thou therefore depart from God too?
A77976( I mean the Church- Wardens, as they stiled them) and when you were put to such Oaths, had you never inward regreet in your Consciences?
A77976( as you have heard) such dreadful evil in the least sin?
A779761 How can God that is so infinitly good, have a hand in sin, that have so much evil in it?
A779761 You shal find many that come and complain of Sin: who do they complain to?
A7797616. there God saith, The face of the Lord is against them that do evil: Mark, the face of the Lord: What is Gods face?
A779762 If his Prosperitie doth give him further liberty in Sin?
A7797620. when Elijah met Ahab, Hast thou found me, O my Enemy?
A779763 Hence it follows, That all the Creatures in the world were brought under the Dominion of Man to be serviceable unto Man; why?
A77976Abishai the son of Zerviah; Abishai was one of Davids Soldiers, when Shimei cursed David: Shall I go and cut off this dead Dogs neck?
A77976Alas poor man, he might have need of them: How many of you venture upon other manner of things upon the Lords Day, profaning of it?
A77976All my glorious Attributes shall work against you; as if God should say, Is there any thing in me can make you miserable?
A77976And again, another Creature, Swords and Weapons, they have power to gash and wound the Body; whence have these Instruments their power?
A77976And doth not God bring good out of sin?
A77976And he was verie cheerful who made so manie Psalms, and was so Musical as David?
A77976And if Sin be to evil, what an evil case are those men in, who be so full of sin?
A77976And is there not evil in this?
A77976And now you that have heard of the great evil of sin, will you ever open your mouths to deminish and excuse sin?
A77976And so when they spend whole daies in drinking and eating, why?
A77976And that I may bring it more full to your sences, consider this, From whence hath any Creature power to bring evil upon thee, or to torment thee?

A30579A follower of Christ?
A30579A friend to the Gospel?
A30579A vile person shall arise: What is this vile person?
A30579Ambrose hath such a speech upon the place, If the man had the soul of a swine, what could be said otherwise?
A30579And another thing that is very considerable, What is God so set upon the glory of his Justice in the Gospel?
A30579And are there any that make profession?
A30579And are thy services forc''d, that thou art compel''d?
A30579And are you troubled that you have no more of that that beasts may have as well as your selves?
A30579And do I see Learned and Godly men of another judgment?
A30579And do you but think what kind of portion that must needs be?
A30579And do you profess that the Lord hath enlightened you by his holy Spirit, to understand the certainty and reality of this?
A30579And hence then, what Conversation becomes this Gospel of Christ?
A30579And here in this Scripture he saith, Oh what shall I do?
A30579And secondly, What is it so to live as becometh the Gospel of Christ?
A30579And shall God account us to do that which is worthy of his Gospel?
A30579And so he tels us, Who art thou that judgest another?
A30579And so if one that professes the Gospel of Christ, would manifest that he is a good Christian, What doth he do?
A30579And what justice is there among men to do as they would be done by?
A30579And what''s the great argument in the Gospel to cause us to live godly in this present world?
A30579Another when he lay upon his sick bed, his friends came to him and said, What lack you?
A30579Are all the good things that the Father hath to cōmunicate of this world, and not Christ Himself of this world?
A30579Are you converted to Christ?
A30579Are you so desirous of it, as to be willing to leave them to the fury and rage of their Adversaries?
A30579Art thou hypocritical in thy service?
A30579As Judas,( not Iscariot) said, How is it that thou revealest thy self to us, and not unto the world?
A30579As if Christ should say, What, hath God brought the light of the Gospel to you?
A30579As if Paul had said to Timothy, it''s true, you meet with many difficulties, but hath not the Gospel given you a Spirit of power?
A30579As the Saints of God and all the Churches of God that knew him, they highly commended him, Why?
A30579Be all damn''d that do not this?
A30579Because Christ hath satisfied the Lawfully, and how can God require it in them?
A30579Because the time doth sanctifie the duty, being set apart by God: As in the Temple, the duty was more acceptable than in any other place, why?
A30579But You will say, If men be in an Error, why should they not be forced?
A30579But now you will say, Wherein should a man go beyond this as becomes the Gospel?
A30579But now, Art not thou a Christian?
A30579But then you will say, How doth He say, that His Kingdom is not of this world, if He he Lord over all the world?
A30579Can I be able to find any fault with them in their lives and Conversations?
A30579Can not a man be saved unless he do it?
A30579Can those that live with you see your Conversations so changed as to make them stand and admire at the work of the Gospel upon your hearts?
A30579Can thy conscience tell thee that thou hast done so?
A30579Can you think that if the Adversarie should prevail, you should be only at the dispose of the King?
A30579Canst thou have any evidence to thy soul that there is any work of grace in thee, and yet live looslie?
A30579Canst thou say as in the presence of God, that thy Conversation is answerable?
A30579Canst thou think that thou that art a means to send so many to Hell, that thou shalt not go thither thy self?
A30579Christ hath satisfied that: Hath Christ satisfied that?
A30579Demas( saith Paul) hath forsaken me, but what is it that hath made Demas to forsake me?
A30579Did not our forefathers know of life and immortality before?
A30579Did they in the time of the Law, know that these bodies of ours should be made more glorious than the Sun in the firmament?
A30579Did they know that our bodies should be made like to the glorious body of Jesus Christ?
A30579Did they know that the Saints were not only Heirs, but Co- heirs with Jesus Christ?
A30579Did they know the communion that the Saints shall have w th God, and with Jesus Christ in his bodily presence in glory?

A30579Do you expect that this flesh of yours should be made like the Sun in the Heavens, like the glorious body of Jesus Christ?
A30579Do you hope that God hath wrought the work of Convertion?
A30579Do you know wherein you and they differ?
A30579Do you live like such as God hath not put off with the Portion of this world?
A30579Do you or I live as becomes the Gospel?
A30579Do you profess the Gospel?
A30579Do you spend as much breath in praying for these kind of men, as you do in railing upon them?
A30579Do you teach us the Word of God?
A30579Do you understand what they are you speak of?
A30579Dost not thou come home to thy wife and children, and say, I am an undone man: Why?
A30579Dost not thou count thy self an undone man, when thou hast lost some comforts?
A30579Dost thou aim at the praise of men in outward duties?
A30579Dost thou put off God with slight services?
A30579Doth not God for the present Curse thy portion?
A30579Epistle of Christ( you wil say) what''s the meaning of that?
A30579Everie one should consider this; what temptation am I most liable to?
A30579Fifthly, Who is the man that hath his Portion in this world?
A30579Fifthly, You abuse your portion you have now, what will you do with more?
A30579First, Why is it that God will deal out somewhat to wicked men in this world, why they shall have any Portion at all?
A30579For the Lords sake, do not lay down thy everlasting soul at stake for a little gain, some for a little credit; art thou a Christian?
A30579For the grace of God( saith he, that''s the Gospel) that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men:( What doth it teach us?)
A30579Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold: from what?
A30579Fourthly, These things that are here, they are the only sutable things to your hearts, and what will you do with any more hereafter?
A30579Further, Hast thou heretofore been a forward Professor in Religion, and hast thou forsaken the waies of God?
A30579Give up your hearts, strength, and endeavors what possibly you can to fulfill all righteousness, do not say, Why should I do thus?
A30579Hath God let you live under this Gospel, that you hear it it your ears?
A30579Have we the hopes and promises of such an inheritance in Heaven?
A30579Hence then, Cast away al sin as an abominable thing from you; What have I to do any more with Idols?
A30579Here is a great and a sore cross, you think, how shall I endure that?
A30579Here is their portion, it is confin''d to this life; Why so?
A30579How comes life and immortality to be brought to light through the Gospel?
A30579How did God manifest his love?
A30579How do the loss of the things of the world take thy heart?
A30579How high are they raised above other men?
A30579I am not excluded no more than others?
A30579I appeal to your consciences, Do not your consciences in hearing these things condemn you?
A30579I appeal to your consciences, Do you live so, as the glory of Christ shines in you in the course of your lives?
A30579I beseech you observe this text, Christ gave Himself to deliver us from our sins, that we might not perish eternally: And was that all?
A30579I but you will say, That is in Heaven?
A30579I fear there are some men never had such a thought in their lives; What if it should prove so, what a miserable creature were I?
A30579I hear indeed there are some men are put off so, what if it should prove to be my portion?
A30579I stand not so much upon that term, Whether as given by Moses?
A30579IN the sixt place, Would you know what Conversation becomes the Gospel?
A30579If there be any in a family that you care not much for, you make no great provision for them, Doth God take care for Oxen?
A30579If this be a Conversation becoming the Gospel, O Lord, how far are we from honoring the Gospel in our lives?
A30579If you ask me why it is that God the Father would not have His Son to have his kingdom in this world?
A30579Is it meerly conscience compels thee, and not an inward agreeableness between the frame of thy heart, and holy things?
A30579Is it not in a way wherein the dreadfullest Justice of God appears too?
A30579Is it so that wicked men have a portion here, and here is all?
A30579Is it such an excellent portion that they are so greedy of it?
A30579Is it worth so much, that they contend so much about it?
A30579Is not the grace of God let out to you through the blood of his Son?
A30579Is there any that can stand before the Son of Man in glory?
A30579Is there no Conversation that your consciences tell you would please God better, than that Conversation which you live in?
A30579Is there not righteousness in Him?
A30579Is this as becomes the Gospel?
A30579Is this becoming the Gospel, to stand with God for any thing?
A30579It is a very sweet and excellent Scripture, Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you: What should he do?
A30579It is in the very next words to my text, when Christ had said his Kingdom was not of this world, Pilate said to Him, Art thou a King then?
A30579Let every one of you that profess you love the Gospel, but think thus, Oh but shall I not hinder the Gospel if I listen and yeild to this temptation?
A30579Manie Christians live, and their Conuersations are very dark and no beauty at all in them; Why?
A30579Mark the Text, Why, can we poor worms do any thing worthy of the Gospel?
A30579Mark, striving together, he would have the Saints to be strivers: I but strivers for what?
A30579Mark, what a title is here?
A30579May there not be Wars and fighting for the maintainance of Religion and the Kingdom of Christ?
A30579Must I do it?
A30579My Kingdom is not of this world( saith Christ) Therefore, why should any that come under my kingdom look for great things in this world?
A30579No( that you''l say) and therefore we account our condition ill now, for we have Arbitrary Governments amongst us now, And who are they?
A30579Now dost thou know the price of a soul?
A30579Now if a soul should make this moan to Jesus Christ, do you think that Christ would account this man a schismatick?
A30579Now if they have as worldly hearts as others, how can they be the lights of the world?
A30579Now if you must enter into a full possession of this glorious Kingdom through sufferings, why should you murmur?
A30579Now if you should ask me, what Conversation is becoming the Gospel?
A30579Now if you should say, Wherein should we walk so?
A30579Now is your conversations as becometh the Gospel?
A30579Now suppose his Excellency, that hath done so much service for the kingdom, when he shall come, What an entrance will be made for him into the City?
A30579Now then I would appeal and put this to your consciences, Are your Conversations now, such as can give you comfort?
A30579Now what Conversation is sutable to this?
A30579Now what Conversation is sutable to this?
A30579Now what a many enemies hath the Gospel at this day?
A30579Now, was this the end of the death of Christ, not only to reconcile us to God, but one unto another in one body, Jew and Gentile?
A30579O what Conversation becomes this, that we should be principled and acted with the same Spirit?
A30579O what a stir is therein the world to satisfie the wils of a few men in the world?
A30579Oh consider now, whether there be not like to be perplexity in your Spirits?
A30579Oh how unbeseeming is this to the Gospel?
A30579Oh how unsutable are fleshly lusts to a spiritual man?
A30579Oh now my brethren, how ought we to live?
A30579Oh then, What Conversation become this?
A30579Oh this is infinitly unbeseeming the Gospel of Jesus Christ: do I beleeve this, and is it real unto my soul?
A30579Oh those that are godly, when they see others that profess godlines to walk in a strict and holy conversation, how doth it rejoyce their hearts?
A30579Oh where is you bearing and forbearing with one another?
A30579Oh you say, you have repented you of your sins: the word that is translated there repentance; it is, change of mind: Oh hath God changed your mind?
A30579On the other side, Here''s a sin to be committed; if I venture upon this sin, it may be I shall be delivered from this affliction?
A30579Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His Glory?
A30579Put on: Why?
A30579Q. Wherefore did he make you?
A30579Quest ▪ You will say to me, How should one know when a man is a man of this world?
A30579Saith an Ancient, what doth beastly fierceness and cruelty, and savigeness do in the breast of a Christian?
A30579Saith he, Who am I, and what is my Fathers house, that I should be thus chosen?
A30579Saul was a man chosen immediately by God himself, to be the first King that ever was over his own people; and was not that a great favor?
A30579Secondly, That this their portion, it is confin''d to this life; and why so?
A30579Shal they see their conversations to be holy as becomes the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
A30579Shall every man be lest to his Opinion, to do what he will?
A30579So God will answer to many men, when they shall cry to him for mercy, at that day, Why come you to me for more?
A30579So I may say concerning many professors, look upon their Conversations, and what is this the Coat?
A30579So I say concerning you: Ought not you to suffer first, and then to enter into your glory?
A30579So may I say to you that are godly, Hath God given you Jesus Christ?
A30579So may a man that hath his portion in this world here, say at his death, Where is this poor soul of mine going?
A30579So that when God cals for anything, never think it much, Oh this is hard and costly and dear to me, and how shall I part with this?
A30579Some men and women are ready to say, what do they care what others observe in them so that God knows their hearts?
A30579Some will say, Should we have a care of our Conversations that we may get honor?
A30579Somwhat they have, but little; Doth God take care for wicked and ungodly ones?
A30579Such men, how do they abuse their portions?
A30579Surely then, this cals to us al aloud to love peace, O love peace, Is God so set upon peace as he is?
A30579That perhaps what you aim at as your End, your Adversaries may aim at, but as their Means; and what will become of you then?
A30579The Spirit lives in us, and we live in the Spirit, what Conversation must there needs be here then?
A30579The dearest thing, What''s that?
A30579The poor things, that men have here in this world; What are they?
A30579The weapons, What are they?
A30579Then do not dishonor your Head: When there is a temptation comes to any sin, but will not this be a dishonor to my Head?
A30579Then what manner of persons ought we to be?
A30579Then why is thy heart set upon the world as the hearts of other men that are strangers to Jesus Christ?
A30579There is a right from Promise?
A30579This is a base kind of reasoning; Is this as becomes the Gospel?
A30579This is higher; that''s thus, hath God shewed Himself gracious unto me?
A30579Thou professest thou knowest Jesus Christ, that the Lord hath made known the glorious Mysteries of the Gospel to thee; What is thy life?
A30579Truth, Pilate asked Him what the Truth was?
A30579Upon what ground is it?
A30579Watch and Pray, be watchful in all your converse, keep your communion with God close: What will be the fruit of this?
A30579We use to answer men, that come for their dole, who have had out a dole, and they will come again, Why do you come again?
A30579Were not this one of the horriblest wickednesses that ever were committed in a Kingdom?
A30579What Conversation doth become this?
A30579What Dominions shall there be when the Saints are in the highest Heavens, to serve and obey Christ?
A30579What do you hold forth of the great Work of the Gospel, if you do not hold forth this?

A30579What dost thou admire most men for?
A30579What esteem would you have of a man that is hanging upon a gallows?
A30579What honor should God have in the world were it not for the holy and gracious Conversations of some of His Saints?
A30579What hope hath an Hypocrite though he hath gained, when God takes away his soul?
A30579What is Truth?
A30579What is Truth?
A30579What is all this to the soul?

A30579What''s the reason that there are more comes into the Kingdom of Antichrist, than into the Kingdom of Christ?
A30579What, art thou careful to lay up for thy Children?
A30579What, doest thou convince wicked men, and stop the mouthes of wicked men?
A30579What, know ye not that your bodie is the temple of the holy Ghost, which is in you?
A30579When many come into places of dignity and power, What are their thoughts?
A30579Whence was it that ever Jesus Christ should be known to thy soul, that was so worldly, so drossie, so earthy a soul?
A30579Who is he?
A30579Who made you?
A30579Who shall separate us from the love of God?
A30579Who will trust you with the true riches?
A30579Why?
A30579Why?
A30579Why?
A30579Why?
A30579Why?
A30579Wilt thou set thy heart upon that which is not?
A30579With more ease?
A30579Would it not be more pleasing to God( ask but your conscience now?)
A30579Would you know what Christs mind is?
A30579Would you walk as becomes the Gospel?
A30579Ye observe daies, and months, and times, and years: What then?
A30579You are graffed into Jesus Christ, and not into a Crab- stock: And do you receive this Sap from the Root?
A30579You complain of weakness: But is there not strength in Christ?
A30579You know what an offence it was unto the Jews, say they, Do any of the Rulers beleeve in him?
A30579You will say then, But what is that Conversation becoming the Gospel, that is beyond the light of Nature?
A30579You will say, How doth it appear?
A30579You will say, If there be not such weapons that are outward to force men, then all will be to no purpose, it will be nothing?
A30579You will say, Is any man so wicked as to pawn away his soul to the Devil?
A30579You will say, Love is a secret thing?

A30579You will say, What''s the fighting and Wars for now?
A30579Your willingness to be at peace, and to seek for peace even from your inferiors?
A30579and do you see that they walk not according to the truth of the Gospel?
A30579and do you think that Christ came to take us away from obeying the Will of God, which was Christs meat and drink to do?
A30579and dost thou know what the death of Christ meant?
A30579and dost thou set them at so low a rate?
A30579and hath He revealed unto you those glorious Mysteries of Salvation in Him?
A30579and is he willing to be at so great cost for peace?
A30579and is this conversation such as beseems one that is raised to such a height of honor as this is?
A30579and know what a price God hath set upon souls?
A30579and so doest thou tender up all thy services to God?
A30579and that he must be avoided and persecuted 〈 ◊ 〉 a schismatick?

A30579are you not joyned to Christ thus, and a member of Him, and a branch in Him?
A30579are you sensible of the love of Christ?

A30579didst ever reade the Gospel, man or woman didst thou ever hear of Christ?
A30579do I receive such a spirit from the Head to act after such a sinful course?
A30579every letter thereof is a character of love; and what commendations of love in heavenly expressions?
A30579for his Saints, for his Children, that are so dear unto him?
A30579for how do many of your Conversations disgrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

A30579how provoking must it needs be to the holy God?
A30579how unbeseeming the Gospel of Jesus Christ is an irreconciliable spirit?
A30579how unsutable will it be then to you?
A30579ibid 11 Doth God for the present curse thy portion?
A30579if the Enemies should prevail, and overcome and take away our Civil Rights, Oh then the Kingdom of Christ, what will become of that?

A30587ANd now, my brethren, as the Eunuch said to Philip concerning his Baptisme, Here is water, what lets but I may be baptized?
A30587Add indeed the root from whence the word comes, signifies desolari, to make desolate; why?
A30587After a while Philip met with those who would have him to have revenged himself upon Arcadion, What say you now of Arcadion?
A30587And dost thou also require, that wee must not bring our judgments to our Brethrens till thy light brings them?
A30587And is not this one Spirit the Spirit of love and meeknesse?
A30587And it is observable, that they follow upon those words, What shall it profit a man if he shall gaine the whole world, and loose his owne soule?
A30587And to what purpose do we live, if God have not glory by us?
A30587And what comfort can a man have of his life, if he be laid aside by God as a useless man?

A30587BUt how will this joyn us one to another?
A30587But did he not bring disturbance to the Kingdome by this his zeale?
A30587But doe not men in a Congregationall way urge upon others their owne conception ● and practices, according to the power they have, as much as any?
A30587But doth not Christ say, Hee came into the world to witnesse to the truth, and is not every truth more worth then our lives?
A30587But doth not this then exclude him from the exercise of any power in the matters of Christian Religion?
A30587But especially where men will not keepe within their bounds in their power over others; for what is all our contestation at this time?
A30587But here will be not an inconvenience only but a mischief?
A30587But how can naturall and externall things be helps to things spirituall and divine?
A30587But how can this be?
A30587But how is this an argument for us to unite?
A30587But how shall it be known, whether the Devill be in a mans conscience or not?
A30587But if instead of being sweetned by mercies we are the more imbittered one against another, how great is this sinne?

A30587But if the difference be so little, why doe they not come in?
A30587But if those liberties they seek be good, or but supposed by them to be so, why then should they feare a right setling of things?
A30587But it is necessary that all things be reformed at once?
A30587But must God have all our hearts, so as we may not let them out at all to any thing else?
A30587But that those embracements of his should be everlasting, and yet shall every trifle take us off from one anothers hearts?
A30587But these who gather Churches thus, looke upon all others who are not in that way as Heathens; and what division must this needs make?

A30587But what are the severall workings of pride that make such a stir in the world?
A30587But what came on it?
A30587But what if Congregations refuse to give account of their wayes?
A30587But what may be done to a man in such a case?
A30587But when these latter cases shall fall out, how shall the truth be maintained?
A30587But while one draws one way, another another, one seeks to set up, and another labours to pull down, how can the work go on?
A30587But who can know when a man is condemned of himselfe?
A30587But why must there be Divisions, what does God ayme at in them?
A30587But why then will they not admit them to their communion?
A30587But will Printing help?
A30587But would you know what it is that hath grieved it, and what it is that is like to grieve it further?
A30587But you will say, How can we do lesse but account it a very strange thing, that those who fear God should be thus divided?
A30587But you will say, Is it not more likely that men of learning and piety, should know what is right, and what is not, better then others?

A30587Can not you endure to be deceived?
A30587Can not you endure to have others envy you?
A30587Can this satisfie your consciences?
A30587Can we be able to bear such rebukes as these?
A30587Canst not thou prevail with thy Father as well in this as in that?
A30587Christ reconciles both unto God: but how?
A30587Conscience is an inward roome, who can see into it, what, or who is there?
A30587Cur hominios non obstruitis auro argentove?
A30587Did not he that made me in the wombe, make him?
A30587Do not all Divines say, There are some things in Scripture wherein the Elephant may swimm, some things where the Lamb may wade?
A30587Do not our Adversaries say, Let them alone and they will devoure one another?

A30587Do you envy for my sake, says Moses?
A30587Do you think this was Gods end in delivering us from being devoured of our enemies, that we may be devoured one of another?
A30587Doe not men in a Congregationall way take away all Ecclesiastical means that should hinder such an absolute liberty as this?

A30587For wherein lyes the strength of the seventh above the rest?
A30587For who can say, that a Democracy is a sinfull Government in it selfe?

A30587From whence are our State- divisions, our Warres, but because Princes have been perswaded their power was boundlesse?
A30587From whence hath come the gross ignorance of Popery, but from the prevailing of this principle?
A30587God is come amongst us, wee may see the face of God in what he hath done for us, and shall we be quarrelling before his face?
A30587God shewes that he can owne us notwithstanding all our infirmities: Was ever Kingdome in a more distempered condition then ours hath been of late?
A30587Had we joyned hand in hand together, and set out selves to serve the Lord with one shoulder, what abundance of service might have been done?
A30587Hath Christ delevered us from one burden to lay a greater upon us?
A30587Hath God made this to be an Ordinance for the spirituall good of people?
A30587Have we not all one Father?
A30587Have we the spirit of Christ in us?

A30587How farre are most of us from this?
A30587How great a misery will this be?
A30587How great then is the evill of our divisions?
A30587How little has all that they have studied and endeavoured to do, prevailed with the hearts of men?
A30587How much better then is it to be hated for Christ, then to be beloved for sinne?
A30587How then is it possible that we should be at peace one with another?

A30587I demand, what can any Church- power do more to work upon mens conscience for the reducing them from evill?
A30587I have read of two famous Philosophers falling at variance Aristippus and Aeschines, Aristippus comes to Aeschines, Shall we not be friends?
A30587I know not: Shall I call you Cives, qui à patria vestra descivistis?
A30587IF God should catch advantages against us, what would become of us?
A30587IT is but a little time we have to live; shall the greater part of it, nay why should any part of it be ravel''d out with contentions and quarrels?
A30587If an Ammonite or Moabite can not beare the being shut out of the Congregation of the Lord, how can the Saints beare it?
A30587If he comes thus, who shall abide his comming?
A30587If it prevails, what domineering is there like to be of one over another, yea of some few over many?
A30587If men speak with strange tongues, aud there comes in one unlearned, will they not be to him as Barbarians, will they not say they are mad?
A30587If one should set the Beakons on fire upon the landing of every Cock- boat, what continuall combustions and tumults would there be in the Land?
A30587If such things may fall out between Jerome and Ruffinus,( sayes he) who that is now a friend may not fear to be an enemy?
A30587If they be not united one to another in love and peace, but have a spirit of Division ruling amongst them, what will the world thinke?
A30587If we had but that great question more amongst us, What shall wee doe to be saved?
A30587If we should say, O Lord Jesus, wouldst thou have us be at peace one with another?
A30587If you say, If men have meanes of knowledge and strength, and yet continue ignorant and weake, should not such be dealt with as wilfull and obstinate?
A30587If you should compell us, sayes he, to sacrifice, what did you in this for your gods?
A30587In times of Popery what rage did it raise against men who were most conscientious?
A30587Is it comely for the body of Christ to be rent and torn?
A30587Is it for the credit of a Master, that his servants are alwayes wrangling and fighting one with another?

A30587Is it not an abhorring thing to any mans heart in the world, that men should suffer that God to be blasphemed, whom they honour?
A30587Is it not in our desires, that this great Victory might be pursued, that it might not be lost, as others( in great part) have been?
A30587Is it not the power which they themselves had, and which they might have kept amongst themselves?
A30587Is it seemly that one mans children should be alwayes contending, quarrelling and mischieving one another?
A30587Is it such a Fast that I have chosen?
A30587Is it true O Shadrach; Meshach, and Abednego?
A30587Is not thine Embassage from thy Father, an Embassage of peace?
A30587Is not this to deny the Church the benefit of the gifts and graces of thousands of others?
A30587It is not enough therefore to say the thing is in it selfe better, but is it better in all the references I have, and it hath?
A30587It may be you will say, What hurt is there in them?
A30587Lastly, the Saints enjoyment of the sweetnesse of love, peace and unity among themselves, what is it but heaven upon earth?
A30587Let all bitternesse, wrath, anger, clamour, and evill speaking be put away from you with all malice: And would you doe that which may rejoyce it?
A30587Luther approved of these things, are you wiser then he?
A30587Many amongst us do but dream of men, with whom our hearts are not, that they have some plots working, and how do our spirits work against them?
A30587Many will have no peace, except their own party be followed; Jehu- like, What hast thou to do with peace?
A30587May it not be justly thought that all our seeming love one to,& closing one with another formerly, was only for our own ends?

A30587Nehemiah raised up by God for great service, what dirt was cast upon him?
A30587Ninthly, what can have that power to take off the sowrnesse of mens spirits like mercy; the mercy of a God?
A30587Now all this being done in Christs name, is this nothing to prevail with conscience?
A30587Now then, have not our divisions overcom Gods goodnes, lest Gods goodness overcome our divisions?
A30587Now then, how shall we know when a man is neither fickle nor stout?
A30587Now what doth this require of us?
A30587O Lord, what is this thy curse at this time upon England?
A30587O pitty, pitty thy Brother, if thou canst not pitty thy selfe; does it not grieve thee, that thy Brother should bring sinne upon himself?
A30587Oh Lord, what are we in these dayes such kinde of Christians as these were?
A30587Oh blessed Saviour, is not thy prayer against our divisions, as strong?
A30587Oh blessed Saviour, must we not think that thou art come to send peace?
A30587Oh consider, is the breach between man and man so grievous?
A30587Oh that we had hearts when we find contentions stirring to consider, But is there not a temptation in them?
A30587One would be for Paul, another for Apollos, sayes the Apostle, What need this contention, who you are for, and who another is for?
A30587Only here lies the great doubt, Whether hath God appointed the use of the Magistrates power to be a helpe to the things of Religion?

A30587Quid facit inpectore Christiano luporum feritas?
A30587Quis non vita etiam sua redimat submotum istus infinitum dissi ● ii scandalum?
A30587Rulers, saith the Text, are not a terrour to good works, but to evil; wilt thou then not be afraid of their power?

A30587Shall I lose my sweetnesse in contending, to get my will to be above others?
A30587Shall I say sutablenesse?
A30587Shall men of warre be at peace?
A30587Shall not we whom God from all eternity hath ordained to live co- heires in heaven, to joyn together in praises there, agree together here on earth?
A30587Shall so many Religions be suffered amongst us?
A30587Shall the comfort of all our former mercies and future hopes be lost, by raising up of new quarrels?
A30587Sixthly, what help can there be?
A30587So St. Paul, Hast thou faith?
A30587So we may say, what if they will not regard your delivering them up to Satan, but will go on still?
A30587Such an one is thine enemy, and wilt thou of one enemy make two?
A30587Suppose a man differs from his brethren in point of Church- Discipline, must not this man have a place in an Army therefore?
A30587Suppose children or servants were wrangling one with another, were not this an argument to make them be quiet, Your Father is here?
A30587Take but away their disputes, and for any else, how empty and dry are they?
A30587Tanta ne vos generis tenuit fiducia vestri?
A30587Tell me, were it a signe of valour in a man to draw his sword at every Whappet that comes near him?
A30587That is as if you should say, What if they be not conscientious?
A30587The Lord make you to increase and abound in love one towards another, and towards all men: To what end?
A30587The answer is soon made, Do you not see plainly that they came from your lusts?

A30587The first heart- division amongst men was between Gain& Abel, and what caused it but envy?
A30587The heat of the Gospel divides: it is like fire when it comes, Is not my word like fire?
A30587There are other names of division; the name of Puritan, what a divider hath it been?
A30587There is a great outcry of this but what is the scope of it?
A30587There shall not a man be put to death this day: Why?
A30587These are strange accusations; for do not they themselves make all these the signs of the true Church?
A30587This dividing with God is very wicked; what communion hath God with Belial?
A30587Those wasting Wars of the Romans between Sylla and Marius, Caesar and Pompey, were they not from hence?
A30587To which the Embassadors of Austria reply: What discommoditie were herein, how heavie and sorrowfull newes this would be to the people, who seeth not?
A30587VVE differ thus and thus, but what doe we agree in?
A30587VVHat do you hear more ordinary then this, How many Religions have we now?
A30587VVOuld not I have others beare with me?
A30587VVhat then should be the rule?
A30587WHen Christ shall come, will you stand before him with scratched faces, with black and blew eyes?
A30587WHy may not meat come out of the eater, and sweet out of these bitter things?
A30587We are delivered from being devoured by our enemies; shal we now devour one another?
A30587We never had such a time to try what spirit of love, what principles of union are in us, as now we have; and shall we now miscarry?
A30587We pray that the will of God might bee done on earth as it is done in heaven; why, may not we have a heaven upon earth?
A30587We use to put a price upon things that are rare: what makes Jewels to be of that worth, but for the rarity of them?
A30587Were it not better for thee to suffer; then for thy Brother to sinne?
A30587Were it not folly and madnesse?
A30587What a stir hath this Meum and Tuum made in the world?
A30587What a stir would the Lions in the Tower mak ●, and the Bears in Paris- garden, if they were let loose?
A30587What be our caetera opera, that bewray such a humor?
A30587What biting and devouring was this?
A30587What can cause one member to tear and rend another, but madness?
A30587What dependance had these things upon their discipline and Ceremonies, supposing they had been right?
A30587What does a froward contentious spirit do in thee, who professt thy self to be a Christian?
A30587What hinders why soft and gentle words may not prevaile, as well as hard and bitter language?
A30587What if nothing can prevaile with conscience?
A30587What is more seasonable for divided times then uniting graces?
A30587What is the meaning of humanity, but courteousness, gentleness, pleasantness in our carriages one towards another?
A30587What shall I doe?
A30587What shall we do?
A30587What spirit is it that we professe our selves to be acted by when we are working for Religion?
A30587What sweet visits were there wo nt to be?
A30587What then followes?
A30587What then is our fraternity?
A30587What this people were in their divided condition, that we are; and what does this threaten, but that we should be as they a while after this were?
A30587What, this is your conscience?

A30587What?
A30587What?
A30587When did you ever know a wrangling contentious Minister( though his gifts were never so excellent) do good amongst his people?
A30587When the Turks have prevailed over Christians, do not all stories tell us it hath been through the divisions of Christians?
A30587Whence are wars and fighting amongst you?
A30587Whence come they?
A30587Where is there that opening of secrets one to another as formerly?
A30587Wherefore First, by these Divisions men may come to see the vilenesse and the vanity of their own hearts: what were the thoughts of men heretofore?
A30587Who can meddle with this fire that is kindled among us, and not burn his fingers?
A30587Who can read that short but sowre History of the troubles at Frankford, but his heart must needs bleed within him?
A30587Who can stand before envy?
A30587Why are you dismembred in your hearts and your opinions?
A30587Why doe you seek to strengthen your selves by stirring up vile men to joyne with you, such as heretofore your hearts were opposite to?
A30587Why doest thou not reason thus with thy spirit?
A30587Why halt ye between two opinions?
A30587Why may not a loving winning carriage do as much as severe rigid violence?
A30587Why may not heavenly hearts change the very nature of these sowre brinish things, and make them sweet to themselves and others?
A30587Why should a man labour and toyle till he sweats again, to take up a pin?
A30587Why should our divisions cause u ● to call off one another, seeing our divisions from God hath not provoked him to cast us off?
A30587Why should we let the strength of our spirits run waste?
A30587Why should we not then keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace?
A30587Why so?
A30587Why, what then?
A30587Why?
A30587Why?
A30587YOu will say, Are workes of zeale any helps to peace and union?
A30587Yet were this Question put to some of us, Whence are all our divisions?
A30587You begin to make a stirre, but can you give account of it?
A30587You wil say, How could it then endure the heat of the oven?
A30587You will say, How can that be?
A30587You will say, These were wo nt to be very entire friends, how came they to break?
A30587You will say, What evills would Christ have punished, and what not?
A30587You will say, What if they care not for all this?
A30587You will say, What need that?
A30587Zoilus the common slanderer, being asked why he spake evil of such and such men?
A30587ad Spalatinum Non possun quin vehementissime commovear quotie, haec mala apud me reputo: quid agam?
A30587am not I about that which God hath called me to do?
A30587and although we hold not the seventh, yet there is an ingredient in the sixt, that hath in it the strength of the seventh?
A30587and did not one fashion us in the wombe?
A30587and is it not our case?
A30587and is not that a Dove- like spirit?
A30587and is this comely?
A30587and must this come from the City?
A30587and shall men of peace be at warre?
A30587and that nothing should be done for the restrayning any, but to aske them why they doe so, and to perswade them to doe otherwise?
A30587and what then is like to become of the publique?
A30587and yet the Lord hath owned us: Why should not we own our Brethren, notwithstanding their infirmities?
A30587any reference to Christ might perswade unity, but union with Christ as the members with the body, what heart can stand against the strength of this?
A30587are these the Sheep of Christ, whom I see to consume away in their miserable burning?
A30587are they not hence, even from your lusts?
A30587are we stronger then he?
A30587as fire- brands plucked out of the fire, and now they seeke to fire those who plucked them out; but if this be too hot, what will you call them?

A30587bestow benefits then: would you have mercy?
A30587by what should we judg a man to be obstiate?
A30587canum rabies?
A30587commend others: would you be loved?
A30587cruenta sevitia bestiarum?
A30587did we not then acknowledg that it were righteous with God because of our divisions, to give us up as a prey to our adversarie ●?
A30587do you thinke this is pleasing to your Father?
A30587doe we not agree in things enough, wherein we may all the dayes of our lives spend all the strength we have in glorifying God together?
A30587doe you not feare to bring those feet of yours, polluted with the blood of innocents, into this holy place?
A30587dost thou not pray for thy self and for him, Lord lead us not into temptation?
A30587dost thou see that this will be a temptation to thy brother, and wilt thou lay it before him?
A30587for we wilfully make our selves miserable; if men will undoe themselves, who can helpe it?
A30587hast thou not said that they shall serve thee with one shoulder?
A30587hath not one God created us?
A30587have they stronger bonds of union then we?
A30587he did not take notice of your passing by him; is it not thus often with your selfe in respect of others?
A30587how did it please them at the heart if they could meet with any thing that might serve their turne?
A30587how might the honour of Christ have been advanced high amongst us before this day?
A30587how uncomely will this be?
A30587if this be suffered, what desolation must needs follow?
A30587is it better in regard of others, in regard of the publique, for the helping me in all my relations?
A30587is it not from the generality of the men, over whom they have power?
A30587is it not in this?
A30587is it not possible that it may be thorough multitude of businesse in his head that you know not of?

A30575But when was this?
A30575But where are they, saith God?
A30575But will he be such a Savior to me, in my condition?
A30575But you should consider what though such and such opinions and waies will serve my turn, will they not be burdens to others?
A30575But you wil ask me, What''s the reason that nothing would satisfie them but a King and Nobles?

A30575I am that I am, or, I will be what I will be; so saith God here, I am Lord, I will be; but then where is your King?

A30575I have loved you, saith the Lord; yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us?

A30575I have much, but have I not much engagements with what I do enjoy?
A30575I may vent my self, but what good may come of it?
A30575I say, this confounding[ Where] will be asked to every wicked and ungodly man: What will they be able to say then?
A30575I see infirmities in them, I, but notwithstanding my great sins, God saith of me, How shall I give thee up?
A30575I shall have the glory of my Justice; I, but it will be but passively: And will that be much, to have the glory of Justice in a passive way?

A30575It is my child, though stuborn, why may it not return?
A30575It is your foolish, wilful stubornness, going on in such a vile, finful way that puts God to such a stand; What shall I do?

A30575It may be there is som of you that are very just, yea, but what worship of God is there in your Families, and in your own hearts?

A30575Now what abundance hath God wrought by deferring what we would have had?

A30575Sixthly, God gives me abundance of the Creature: but what is it that makes the difference between me and others?
A30575So Carnal hearts look only at Flowers; but gracious hearts look at the Root: I have such and such a thing, but have I an evidence of Gods love?

A30575The old man forgetful of his yeers pursueth him flying, and crieth: My son, why fliest thou from me thy father, unarmed and old?

A30575Thirdly, I come now to fit my self with these contentments, but what opportunities have I by these to do good more than before?
A30575This is that the Lord threatens here; and why?
A30575This seems plainly to be even the scope of this Charge, Is there iniquity in Gilead?
A30575Thou hast( saith the text) defiled thy Sanctuaries( how?)
A30575Thou, even thou art to be feared; and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

A30592But how shall I know that my reproaches are the reproaches of Christ?
A30592But how shall we joyn with any?

A30592But how should we manifest our respect to those that are outwardly mean, that are gracious?
A30592But is it possible not to revile again?
A30592But is it said here the reproach of Christ?
A30592But it may be said thirdly, Whither shall we go to any people, but we shall finde sin there as well as in another place?

A30592What, will a reprobates portion serve you?
A30592What, would God suffer his own people( say they) his own truth thus to be beaten down?
A30592What, would he rather have his lust with Lais?
A30592When Christ commanded the winds and seas, and they were still at his word, they wondred and said, Who is this, that the winds and seas obey him?
A30592When a temptation to sin comes, make use of this argument, as Saul did to his men, What, can the son of Jesse give you vineyards, and oliveyards?
A30592When as reason says, How can this be?
A30592When as the Lord in favor towards you will vouchsafe you a sign, and you refuse it, as if you had no need, why will you weary God?
A30592When thou shalt hereafter at the great Day meet with this wretched carcase of thine, and see how vile it is, what confusion will be upon thee?
A30592When wicked men hear of so many dissonant opinions, of so many dissentions among you, will they not think you mad?
A30592When you fail in any thing, you plead infirmity, but when you do neglect any opportunity of gaining strength, how can you plead infirmity?
A30592Wherefore?
A30592Who are so basely looked upon as base drunkards?
A30592Who can but do so when they come and give such ill language, so injurious, so false?
A30592Who having his Enemy, would have spared him?
A30592Who knows but that body of thine that hath been so intemperate, and but a sink of filthy lusts, may be made glorious like the body of Christ?
A30592Who now dare accuse the ways of godliness, of folly, when the holy Ghost hath honored them with so many several expressions of wisdom in them?
A30592Who were this people?
A30592Why do you seek the living amongst the dead?
A30592Why does God suffer this?
A30592Why should I fear?
A30592Why should not your hearts be convinced by that which hath so much reason in it?
A30592Why should we be as Children, to run after bubbles?
A30592Why would you preposterously have the crown before you have overcome?
A30592Will this be an answer before God, when you come to give an account why you went out of your way?
A30592Will you go on in the ways of the pleasure of the flesh?
A30592Wouldst thou never be sad?
A30592Yea, how may all the creatures in the earth come to plead against you?
A30592Yea, how may the Devils come and plead against thee?
A30592Yea, not onely others that are better then you, but God and Christ is reproached: How is the name of God slighted?
A30592Yet notwithstanding your sins, he chooses you; Why notwithstanding the sufferings you may meet with, should not you choose him?
A30592You desire Heaven at last, and do you not desire communion with Gods people?
A30592You have but low thoughts of God; are there no richer treasures in God then onely a few outward delights, meat, and drink, and sports here?
A30592You know how earnest the Apostle was with the Galatians, when they had once received the faith, and drew back again, says he, Who hath bewitched you?
A30592You must trust God with your souls, and eternal conditions, and will you not trust him with your pleasures?
A30592You think if they will not do thus and thus, you will make them do it: Alas, you are infinitely deceived; what will you do to make them do it?
A30592You will say this is a riddle, how can it be made out?
A30592You will say, An infinite capacity of happiness, how is that?
A30592You will say, How is it possible that this should be?
A30592You will say, What is there in the ways of God, to cause delight?
A30592You will say, how does this appear to be meant of Gods people now?
A30592Your life is in danger, and do you now talk of truth?
A30592[ The reproach of Christ:] How could that reproach that Moses suffered, be the reproach of Christ?
A30592a Jeremy?
A30592after he had recanted for fear of sufferings, yet he was forced to suffer; what a darkning was it to this spirit, his cause, and name?
A30592against whom do ye make a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue?
A30592and God in all things?
A30592and are they not capable of better things then these things that you have chosen for your chiefest good?
A30592and do you disesteem of them for their sufferings?
A30592and hath put his glory upon your souls, and hath honored you by that near relation you have to Christ?
A30592and have not obeyed the voyce of my teachers, nor enclined mine ear to them that instructed me?
A30592and how are you vext and troubled?
A30592and how comes it about?
A30592and how is it now?
A30592and if God comes to you in your names, do you take it so ill?
A30592and if God have done such great things in Six thousand years, what may God do in the next Six thousand years, and so in the next, who now can tell?
A30592and if in the land of peace, how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
A30592and if the father sees them, how provoked is he to correct them both?
A30592and sports?
A30592and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
A30592and this hath been shewn in this glorious recompence of reward: How great and honorable then should they be in our eyes?
A30592and was it not the pleasure of a little meat and drink thou couldst be content to part with for me?
A30592and was not all that sufficient to draw your hearts over these difficulties?
A30592and what great content is it for a man to have outward pleasure, and inward dampings of spirit?
A30592and what is a countrey to the world?
A30592and what is it that God requires of you for all this?
A30592and what rest do your souls finde in God?
A30592and when shall be the time that I shall provide for eternity?
A30592and will you despise him?
A30592and will you not now be willing to suffer as much in the ways of God?
A30592and, Who shall ascend into the Mount?
A30592are not the thoughrs of God concerning the children of men, higher and more glorious then these outward things?
A30592are not we made of the same matter that men are?
A30592are these the things that God hath made us for?
A30592are they not fleshly?
A30592are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falshood?
A30592are your hearts more after these then after any thing else?
A30592as if he should say, Do not your consciences condemn you?
A30592as there is a great deal of pleasure in meat and drink: Whence comes this?
A30592as they did, Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved?
A30592as when Christ was speaking of the new birth, says Nicodemus, How can this be?
A30592at such light things?
A30592at the 8. verse, Upright men shall be astonied at this: How?
A30592banishments were there then?
A30592c. 9 Cum quid ā interrogasset Platonem, Unde, tibi sapientia tanta?
A30592can my sin reward me as God will reward me if I walk in his way?
A30592canst thou overcome without fight, triumph without combate?
A30592considera squalorem Pauli in carcerc,& accenderis erga illam pulchritudinem, hancque extremam deformitatem esse putabis: vis odoramenta?
A30592cum risu?
A30592cur etiam ipsi non mecum laborant?
A30592cursed, cruel, shameful death?
A30592did Christ ever do any thing for you?
A30592did not she build the house of Israel likewise?
A30592do not seek them, for I am about to bring evil upon my people, the time of publique calamity is coming, and doest thou seek great things for thy self?
A30592do they leave any sweetness behinde them, after they are over?
A30592do you think temptations would draw their hearts again?
A30592does any good come out of Nazareth?
A30592doest think to put the sea into a little vessel?
A30592either upon things that are for a season, or eternal?
A30592fire?
A30592flores ejus quomodo colligeres, qui à spinis non revocas manum?
A30592for ever?
A30592gibbets?
A30592haeccine tibi promisi, aut ad hoc factus es Christianus, ut seculo floreres?
A30592hath God marked you, and set the stamp of his image upon you?
A30592hath God such intentions to communicate himself thus to mankinde?
A30592have I been faithful to God, and to mine own soul?
A30592have I more peace now, then I had then?
A30592have I promised thee these things?
A30592have not I an immortal soul?
A30592here is a mercy indeed, never to be forgotten; How comes it to pass that your hearts should not be so seduced as theirs?
A30592his heart is on fire, and his tongue is on fire, and will you bring more fire?
A30592how does God communicate himself to me in meat and drink, and cloathes, and friends, and the like?
A30592how glorions is the presence Chamber?
A30592how happy then are the Saints with Gods presence in Heaven?
A30592how if you perish eternally for setting your hearts upon these things?
A30592how ill then will he take it, how sorely will he be displeased, when the affliction that his people suffer for his name, is helped forward?
A30592how long will you love vanity and seek after lyes?
A30592how much better were it for me if I had never been born, then thus to do?
A30592how should the kingdom of heaven suffer violence?
A30592how should we work toward God, who is our proper place and center, in whom is so much good?
A30592how sweet is sleep when it comes from that promise?
A30592how was it with me then?
A30592how will conscience accuse you?
A30592how will you use it?
A30592if the Lord should leave a soul in that choice, what a lamentable condition had the soul been in?
A30592if we do not do much good, and get much good here, what have we to sweeten and recompence this tediousness?
A30592if you rejoyce because God hath glory by the discovery, then would you rejoyce, if the dearest friend you had were discovered?
A30592in striking at God?
A30592is not the breach made up in those?
A30592it is not any carnal good, any carnal content that is the heighth and top of the glory of heaven?
A30592it is well if you go thus far, but you must go higher; are there not choyce mercies?
A30592live well, says Bernard: Tell me, wouldst thou embrace the ways of Religion, if thou wert sure of pleasure?
A30592may we have a respect to the reward?
A30592memor esto vinculorū Pauli,& videbuntur tibi serica indumenta faetulentis panniculis abjectiora: velles aureis indumentis amiciri?
A30592miseries?
A30592onely reach to the sensual part?
A30592or not rather do some famous exploit for his Countrey; as to slay Archias, and to deliver Athens?
A30592or what is your names that you should think much to bear reproach?
A30592or, not affected with them, to grieve as I ought?
A30592our names are nothing, what though ten thousand such as we are come to nought, and rot?
A30592putas te posse sine pugna vincere, sine certamine triumphare?
A30592quid cpulari gestis antequam stadium solvatur?
A30592quid praeproperè coronam exigis antequam vin cas?
A30592quis ab bominibus ersequi se justitiae causa non optet?
A30592quis se non maledici desi deret?
A30592recordare carceris Pauli: velles sericis indui?
A30592recordare vinculorum Pauli,& ostendent tibi nibil illa coeno protrito melius habere: vis ornari capillis formosaque videri?
A30592remember Pauls chains, and silken cloaths will be more vile to thee then filthy rags: Wouldest thou be adorned with gold?
A30592remember Pauls chains, and they will shew you that such ornaments are no better then the dirt under your feet: Would you be beautiful with your hair?
A30592remember the Prison of Paul: Wouldest thou be cloathed in silks?
A30592says Paul, Who art thou?
A30592scorns?
A30592scourges?
A30592shall it be well, or not well with my soul when I am beyond things that are for a season?
A30592shall their fire be no hotter then ours?
A30592shall we say, How unsearchable are his mercies?
A30592so we may say to our own hearts, Is it not enough for us, that we have such a cloud of witnesses, such a noble Army of Martyrs before us and with us?
A30592stranglings?
A30592that is, to judge according to them: Some render it thus; and are not judges of evil thoughts?
A30592that shall never be partaker of this?
A30592the Sun, or the man that either said it or believed it?
A30592the body of the meanest Saint shall be like the glorious body of Christ: What is that?
A30592the least truth of God is worth more then heaven and earth; and what is thy ease, thy liberty, thy name, thy life to it?
A30592they would have Ministers preach much of Gods mercy, but if people had eyes to behold it in the glory of it, how would it change their hearts?
A30592this time of our life is appointed for this end, it is our winter time; will a man be troubled to see frost and snow in winter time?
A30592those evil thoughts of yours, in respecting those that are in brave apparel; Are you judges of those evil thoughts?
A30592those fearful gnawings of that never- dying worm that was bred in thy sweet delights?
A30592though the clouds do arise, and darken the light of the Sun, does the Sun cease in its course, and cease shining because it is darkned?
A30592though you be tost up and down in regard of the uncertainty of the creature, yet is God your rest: yea, do you enjoy your selves in God?
A30592to have no trouble to the flesh?
A30592to have the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ in respect of persons; Are you become judges of evil thoughts?
A30592to receive that faith that brings such happiness, and after you have received it to turn back again; Who hath bewitched you?
A30592what a difference is there between the disposition of your hearts, and the disposition of the most worthy servants of God in all ages?

A30592what starvings?
A30592what use would they have made of them?
A30592what was thy aim?
A30592what will it do?
A30592what wise man can please his thoughts after his pleasures are over, in thinking what pleasures he hath had?
A30592what worth is in it to make thee so venturous?
A30592what would become of them?
A30592what, didst thou make account to live at ease?
A30592what, wert thou made a Christian, that thou shouldest flourish here in this world?
A30592when Divine justice follows a man from one place to another and persecutes him?
A30592where would there be any witness to truth, against the rage and malice of devil and wicked men, if all should do as thou doest?
A30592wherein do you count the good of it to consist?
A30592who shall be partakers of these things?
A30592who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
A30592who would not desire to be reviled?
A30592who would not wish to be persecuted for righteousness sake?
A30592why do not they labor as well as I?
A30592why do they riot it out?
A30592why do you seek for living comforts, where you must expect to dye daily?
A30592why then should we not do the like to him whose soul is more diseased then ours?
A30592why then will God suffer his beloved ones thus to be troubled and afflicted?
A30592will any sin do you that good as will countervail the cutting you off the hope of all this glory?
A30592will it make you amends for this evil?
A30592would thy ways be peace?
A30592would you learn contempt of honors?
A30592would you see the highest patience?
A30592wouldst thou be willing to be in such a condition as this?
A30592you can not keep your hands from the thorns, how earnest would you be then in gathering the flowers?
