A30567 | Difference? |
A30567 | Eighthly, Another ground is this: A temptation comes to sin, and they will venture upon it: Why? |
A30567 | For sin shall not have dominion over you; why? |
A30567 | I appeal to you, whether you do not know that this is the great hardning conceit of most people in the World? |
A30567 | Ninethly, Another ground may be this: They will venture upon it; why? |
A30567 | Now Samuel he comes and convinces him, that he had not done what God had sent him to do; why? |
A30567 | Now you will say, How may a man make use of this Note to know the nature of his sin? |

A30567 | You will say, What difference? |
A30567 | You will say, What symptoms of life will appear in a godly man or woman, when they are overcome with sin and corruption? |
A30567 | You will say, that, that''s but a similitude; what do you mean by that of the scar, and a rotten sore? |
A30567 | and dare you stand in the Presence of that Holy God, when he comes to pass the Sentence of your Eternal Estate upon your ● ouls? |
A30567 | are the best without sin upon them? |
A30567 | dare you stand before him with such defiled, stained souls, as you have? |
A30567 | do you look for the appearing of the Holy God? |
A30567 | for do not you see some that speak more of free grace then ever they did, and yet more loose then ever they were before? |
A30567 | how many is there that can wallow in sin, and take delight in it? |
A30567 | is this such an evil as can belong to a Child of God? |
A30567 | or thee to do with him? |
A30567 | saith Paul, who shall deliver me from this body of death? |

A30567 | wilt tho ● come into Gods presence in thy filth? |
A30567 | you will say, who is not corrupted? |
A30567 | — What? |
A30567 | — Why, Godly men will not do so; where was there ever a godly man on the face of the Earth that would allow himself in a sin because it was but one? |
A30594 | 13. to bee a Kings sonne in law? |
A30594 | 20. is very observable: What glory is it, if when ye be buffeted for your fault yee take it patiently? |
A30594 | 20. that wee can not say, is there not a lye in our right hand? |
A30594 | 7. are yee not as children of Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? |
A30594 | An non personam meam in hac mundi fabula satis commode egisse videor? |
A30594 | And will you then depend upon man, and that in a matter of so great consequence, as the cleaving to, or the forsaking of the Truth of God? |
A30594 | Are there not Arguments enough from all Gods love and his mercifull dealings with you, to prevaile with your hearts for such a thing as this? |
A30594 | Are you wiser then they? |
A30594 | Aske them now what their judgement is of Gods Saints? |
A30594 | Aske them now what they thinke of grace? |
A30594 | Aske them what they thinke of eternal separation from God, and the infinite wrath of a Deity for evermore? |
A30594 | But how more then conquerours? |
A30594 | But is not opportuity of service for God, and his people, as great a good as any you can have? |
A30594 | But may wee not resolve then aforehand what we will doe? |
A30594 | But what if it does not enable thee to doe as much as a beast can doe? |
A30594 | But wherein lies the power of faith to take off the heart from the world, and carry it through sufferings? |
A30594 | Dare you venture your soules and eternall estates upon this Faith? |
A30594 | Dic quaeso quid genus est? |
A30594 | Dic quaeso quid genus est? |
A30594 | Doe you seriously consider, that there is a snare in them? |
A30594 | Doe you thinke in your consciences that this is the end why God hath given you an abundance of these outward things more then others? |
A30594 | First, doe you feare, are you jealous of your selves, lest you should let out your hearts too farre in them? |
A30594 | First, have you not taken too much comfort already in them? |
A30594 | Fourthly, what does conscience say when you are in afflictions? |
A30594 | Good Lord, what doe wee make of Faith, if this be Faith? |
A30594 | How easie is it for a man to despise the World, when faith gives him a cleare sight of God? |
A30594 | How great uncertainety have many great ones, by their miserable experience, found in their outward glory, and worldly felicity? |
A30594 | How much more glorious( sayes hee) is it to doe good to many, then to dwell magnificently? |
A30594 | How often, to gratifie the flesh, have many opportunities of spirituall good beene neglected? |
A30594 | How resolutely did Nehemiah goe on in the worke of the Lord, notwithstanding that opposition he had? |
A30594 | I may say in this respect, as Saint Paul saith in another case; who makes thee to differ? |
A30594 | I pray tell me, saies Chrysostome, what is kindred? |
A30594 | If distempered humours be in the body,''t is not able to endure any thing; a little cold, oh how tedious is it to it? |
A30594 | If the publike good falls, shall I thinke to enjoy my ease and my peace, my estate and my honour upon good termes? |
A30594 | In all these things wee are more then conquerers, in what things? |
A30594 | It is a notable expression that Bernard in a sermon upon the birth of Christ hath: what can bee more unworthy? |
A30594 | It unburthens a man of himselfe, his sinfull selfe: What joy, what ease was it to Joseph to bee rid of his inticing Mistresse? |
A30594 | Nature hath brought us forth magnanimous, sayes hee, it hath given us a glorious and lofty spirit; what is that? |
A30594 | Nonne vidisti alios vestri ordinis idipsum fecisse? |
A30594 | Not many rich, not many noble? |
A30594 | Now, would such a Faith, as thou hast, carry through these things? |
A30594 | Rejoyce alwaies, and againe I say rejoyce; what followes? |
A30594 | Saint Augustine hath a good speech to this purpose, what doth it profit a man to have his chest full of goods, and his conscience empty? |
A30594 | Secondly, what doe you with your comfort when you have it? |
A30594 | That there may be danger, yea, very great danger, if you take not heed? |
A30594 | The things of Christ, of grace, of Heaven, what poore empty notions were they to the soule? |
A30594 | They might have answered, where hath God said so? |
A30594 | Thirdly observe, with what indignation hee speakes against those that will set their eyes upon them; wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? |
A30594 | This may be thy condition, thou knowest not how soone; and that Faith that thou hast, of what use would it be to thee, in such a condition as this? |
A30594 | This were comfort indeed, if wee were sure our Faith were right, and such as would carry us through: But how shall we know that? |
A30594 | WHerein must those who are higher then others in their nobility of birth deny themselves, and refuse the honour of it? |
A30594 | What are those resolutions that doe come from Faith? |
A30594 | What care and endeavour is there to cleanse the heart? |
A30594 | What if it does not enable you to doe so much as the Devils faith? |
A30594 | What if thou shouldst see God in his infinite Glorie, Majestie, Holinesse, and Iustice? |
A30594 | What is all the world now to such a soule? |
A30594 | What? |
A30594 | Who knowes whether you bee raised for such a time as this? |
A30594 | Why art thou cast down oh my soule? |
A30594 | Why art thou, being a Kings sonne, soleane from day to day? |
A30594 | Why doest thou denie thy selfe in part, and not altogether? |
A30594 | Would it not be another Heaven to be rid of our sinfull opinions, sinfull wills and affections? |
A30594 | Would it uphold thee from sinking into the bottomelesse Gulfe of Despaire? |
A30594 | and what is a mans happinesse, but his goodnesse? |
A30594 | are there not other things that God requires of us to looke after? |
A30594 | are these the chiefe good of those that are raised to such an high estate? |
A30594 | as if he should say, what a vaine, unreasonable, sottish, senselesse thing is it? |
A30594 | can it draw your hearts off from all creatures here below? |
A30594 | can it raise your spirits above all the delights, honours, profits of the world? |
A30594 | can it satisfie your soules with God alone, as an infinite all- sufficient good? |
A30594 | children of Israel to be as the children of Ethiopians? |
A30594 | did God aime at no higher end then this? |
A30594 | doth it fit you for service to God? |
A30594 | else wherefore would you have comfort, if not to fit you for service? |
A30594 | hath God so much the more glory from you, then hee hath from others, by how much the more comfort you have then others? |
A30594 | hath hee more then from others in meane estates? |
A30594 | hee said it indeede to Ioshua, but what is that to us? |
A30594 | how ever it falls out, it is no great matter that wee hazard; what is my honour? |
A30594 | how hath God spared you in your greatest extremities? |
A30594 | how may others be provoked likewise thereunto? |
A30594 | is not the excellency of any thing you have above others, in this especially, that you have opportunity to doe more good then others? |
A30594 | is there no other way whereby God may bee more glorified by that you have? |
A30594 | is this the precious Faith that will save a Soule? |
A30594 | my estate? |
A30594 | my liberty? |
A30594 | my life? |
A30594 | my pleasure? |
A30594 | now you shall finde their judgements otherwise then formerly: and what is the reason of all? |
A30594 | of a good conscience? |
A30594 | of the pardon of sin? |
A30594 | of walking strictly with God? |
A30594 | or if not, whether is it the griefe of your soules, that you should enjoy so much from God, and God have so little honour from you? |
A30594 | or what will it profit you to have gained the whole world, and to have lost your owne soules? |
A30594 | so lovest thou mee more then all those delightfull things you enjoy? |
A30594 | that this holy, great, and dreadfull God will be pacified by a word or two? |
A30594 | to get more full sense of Gods love? |
A30594 | to provide spirituall armour? |
A30594 | to strengthen Faith? |
A30594 | we can not thus say in our owne thoughts, Is there not a lye in our right hand? |
A30594 | wee can not so much as question with our selves: Are these the things that wee were borne for? |
A30594 | what a change hath a little time made in all their honours, riches, and delights? |
A30594 | what a clutter of businesse crossing one the other? |
A30594 | what a debasement is this? |
A30594 | what deserving more grievous punishments then that a man should magnifie himselfe after hee hath seene God humbled? |
A30594 | what disappointments? |
A30594 | what does all my glory profit me, but that I have so much the more torment in my death? |
A30594 | what efficacie hath it? |
A30594 | what great matter is this? |
A30594 | what is a yeare or two, or ten yeeres enjoyment of them? |
A30594 | what more detestable? |
A30594 | what power? |
A30594 | what prayers? |
A30594 | what snares and temptations lye in your way at every hand? |
A30594 | what strangers are most men to such considerations as these? |
A30594 | what teares are sent up to God afore- hand? |
A30594 | what uncertaine things before faith came in? |
A30594 | what undermining one another? |
A30594 | what vexations? |
A30594 | what? |
A30594 | what? |
A30594 | when you apprehend God is calling you to an account for them, does it not tell you that your hearts have beene let out too greedily after them? |
A30594 | where is all the bravery of it, or the malice and opposition of it? |
A30594 | who knowes what may bee done in godly courses, if you will begin thē? |
A30594 | who should bee free to speake, if not you? |
A30594 | why then should not now, for the honour of God, some opportunities for fleshly delights bee denyed? |
A30594 | will it rejoyce your hearts hereafter to remember what you have done? |
A30570 | After that did God cast in a word, and promise into thee, and by his spirit mightily draw thy heart to close with it, and fasten upon it? |
A30570 | After what manner did God work upon thy heart? |
A30570 | Again, Consider how have I provoked the wrath of God against my self, and yet God doth not use his power a ● ainst me? |
A30570 | Againe doth thy heart faile thee? |
A30570 | And he said, Who made thee a Prince and a Judge over us, Intendest thou to kil me as thou didst the Egyptian? |
A30570 | And so Ahaz, what a bold spirit had he in sin? |
A30570 | And 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? |
A30570 | And suitable to his expression so was his life; speaking of Eudoxia the Empres: saies he, what wil she do? |
A30570 | And 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? |
A30570 | And what is meant by the Roes and the Hindes? |
A30570 | Are there any such, that God hath made sensible of their woful bondage and wouldest thou deliver thy soul from that spiritual bondage? |
A30570 | Are you affraid of the sword and the wasters? |
A30570 | As it is observed concerning Steven; after Steven was filled with the Holy Ghost how bold was he? |
A30570 | Because we feared not the Lord, What then should a King do to us? |
A30570 | But I say, have they not heard? |
A30570 | But how shall we get up our hearts when they are not in a frame fit for service? |
A30570 | But if we must not feare man, may we not flee from danger? |
A30570 | But may not men reject the yoake of Antichrist upon other Grounds besides Faith? |
A30570 | But may not natural Conscience help men through much difficulty in the way of deliverance from this spiritual Egypt? |
A30570 | But rather bring it sooner, as when Peter was affraid of the waves, and affraid of sinking, did it help him? |
A30570 | But should we not take care for our estates, and lives, and liberties? |
A30570 | But suppose Those that are limitted: shall abuse their authority and go beyond it? |
A30570 | But 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? |
A30570 | But there must be discretion exercised: what do they count discretion? |
A30570 | But what shal become of those that are left behind, if others that have abilities forsake them? |
A30570 | But you wil say, How shall we improve this time? |
A30570 | By the Law of Faith, or by the Law of Works? |
A30570 | Can any man submit truly upon right grounds to a Justice of Peace, that wil not yeild to the King? |
A30570 | Did I feare a multitude, or did the contempt of families terrifie mee? |
A30570 | Fifthly, It is according to the Riches of his Glory; Whose Glory? |
A30570 | Fiftly, You ask whether you may avoid danger, and suffering? |
A30570 | Fourthly, 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? |
A30570 | Fourthly, There are some cases we must not Flee in If you ask what they are? |
A30570 | Had God performed al things for David? |
A30570 | Hath God carryed you through any difficult work? |
A30570 | Hath God given you strength& power over others? |
A30570 | Here seems to be a cross thing: they might say blessed Saviour, doest not thou bid us flee? |
A30570 | How can that be? |
A30570 | How can we flee and not feare? |
A30570 | How doth Faith do this? |
A30570 | How violent was his passion when once he had power? |
A30570 | I 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? |
A30570 | I am nothing what is an instrument, an axe to the building of an house? |
A30570 | I have a perverse crooked heart? |
A30570 | I have a rough knotty heart? |
A30570 | If 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? |
A30570 | In the Hebrew it is who hath filled his heart to do this? |
A30570 | It is reported of Illaria meeting with theeves, say they are you not affraid? |
A30570 | Labor 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? |
A30570 | Now if your strength be not let out for God, call your hearts to an account, where is the strength of my heart? |
A30570 | Now what is it that you do, or have done in all your lives, that doth manifest a glorious power of God? |
A30570 | Quest, Whether men may not reject the yoke of Antichrist upon other grounds besides Faith? |
A30570 | Question, What is there in Faith which helps the Soul? |
A30570 | Question, What is there in Faith which helps the Soul? |
A30570 | Qustion, But you will say, what is there in faith that helps the soul, and carries a Christian through the most difficult works and services? |
A30570 | Secondly, You ask this question whether you may not flee danger? |
A30570 | Shall Iron break the northern Iron and the Steel? |
A30570 | Shall iron breake the Northern Iron and the steele? |
A30570 | Sixthly, nay I appeal to you, have you never found your hearts up for God? |
A30570 | So let it be thy prayer, and it is my prayer for thee: Is thy heart up more than before? |
A30570 | That 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? |
A30570 | The Riches of the Glory, of the Might, of the Spirit of God: Of what God? |
A30570 | Thirdly, Is God come in? |
A30570 | Thirdly, 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? |
A30570 | Through 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? |
A30570 | To what end is this spoken? |
A30570 | What a perverse reasoning is this? |
A30570 | What a shame is it then for Christians to be so revengeful? |
A30570 | What cases are those? |
A30570 | What is the estate of a Christian? |
A30570 | What is the reason you do not count us obedient to authority? |
A30570 | What meane you to weep and break my heart? |
A30570 | What shall we doe to take heed of the deceit in this? |
A30570 | When Elijah met Ahab, Saies he Art thou he that troublest Israel? |
A30570 | When they came to Canaan the great City Jericho, what have they to overcom it? |
A30570 | When you had power for God you were content then to forbear, and shall you now use your power for the maintenance of your Lusts? |
A30570 | Where God saies mountains shall be made plaine before Zerubbabel, difficulties shall be taken away, how? |
A30570 | Whether men may not reject the yoke of Antichrist upon other grounds besides Faith? |
A30570 | Who shall remove the difficulties of the curse of the Law? |
A30570 | Why doth a man feare? |
A30570 | Why should wicked men be feared that are compared to such base things? |
A30570 | Wicked men that have had the basest spirits of all, have been bold in sin; As Manasseh, how audacious was he in sin? |
A30570 | Wil she cut me asunder? |
A30570 | Wil she drown me? |
A30570 | Will she behead me? |
A30570 | Will she stone me? |
A30570 | Wilt stay beleeving till thou canst get strength? |
A30570 | You wil say, How shall we come to keep up our hearts, whenas our hearts are in a better frame, than at some other times? |
A30570 | You wil say, What is that proper essential work of faith, that is the most glorious difficult work that ever was performed? |
A30570 | Your question is, whether a Christian may not flee danger? |
A30570 | and hath the shadow of death been made known to you? |
A30570 | and have I been so long suffering towards those that have crost me, as to manifest the glorious power of God in it? |
A30570 | and when he came into danger how feared he? |
A30570 | and where is he that durst presume in his heart to do so? |
A30570 | are you careful to attaine your end? |
A30570 | because we will not worship Idolls, and pray to the Idols for your Governors? |
A30570 | came you not to enjoy God? |
A30570 | did God shew you the evil of it? |
A30570 | did he first prepare thy heart, by a work of humiliation to seek him, and make up thy peace with him? |
A30570 | do you find God sweetly and comfortably enlivening your souls, and putting the spirit of confidence in that unbeleeving heart of yours? |
A30570 | do you know who I am? |
A30570 | doth it come near to you that you find for the present you have attained so little of your end? |
A30570 | doth it trouble your souls when at any time you see any danger to be frustrate of your end? |
A30570 | have you faith only to keep you in that ordinary way that the principles of nature are able to keep you in? |
A30570 | he did flee, but was it not an abatement of his faith and confidence in God? |
A30570 | how came you from under it? |
A30570 | if 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? |
A30570 | if we must not feare the creature, must we deliver our selves from it? |
A30570 | is it now as it was then? |
A30570 | is it thy worke that thou art now about? |
A30570 | it is said, Moses seeing two Hebrews smiting one another, he said to him that did the wrong, Why smitest thou thy fellow? |
A30570 | may we not labor to deliver our selves from it when it comes? |
A30570 | or any help that we can imagine from any creature? |
A30570 | so on the contrary, because we feare the Lord, what then can a King, what can all the power in the world do against us? |
A30570 | so was Paul; Will she take away my substance? |
A30570 | speaking concerning Haman, saith the King, Who is he? |
A30570 | that I kept silence, and went not out of the door? |
A30570 | the strength of your own purposes? |
A30570 | they have but a little dough at their backs, and if that be spent what shal become of them? |
A30570 | those that are over others and are given to anger should think, How is God provoked and crossed? |
A30570 | to have further communion with God? |
A30570 | to walk with God in a more close way then you could do before? |
A30570 | was it any assistance you hade from any friends? |
A30570 | was it your own naturall resolutions? |
A30570 | we must not rush into danger but suppose we see danger before us, may we not flee from it, and avoid it before it comes? |
A30570 | were thy ends good and right in this work? |
A30570 | wert willing wholly to venture upon God, to give up thy self unto him, to be at his dispose? |
A30570 | what can man do unto me? |
A30570 | what should become of me then? |
A30570 | when God would bring Job to feare, saith God, you seem to have some boldness: but have you seen the gates of death? |
A30570 | when he came into danger what a base spirit had he? |
A30570 | when he had done that: did God secondly take off thy heart from all creature props, creature confidences, and dependances? |
A30570 | when 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? |
A30570 | which way runs it? |
A30570 | who shall pacifie the wrath of God that is burning against me for my sin? |
A30570 | wil shee bannish me? |
A30570 | will he regard thee? |
A30608 | & c. He heard that Esau was coming against him with a great company;& what doth Iacob? |
A30608 | 36. what is said of our joyning with the people of God, how excellent is thy loving kindnesse, wherein appears the excellency? |
A30608 | Again, those that appeared on the one side how were they discouraged extraordinarily? |
A30608 | Again, what is that thing that you strive to make most sure? |
A30608 | All 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? |
A30608 | And Iehoshaphat said ▪ O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven, and rulest over all Kingdomes? |
A30608 | And call your hearts to question, what do I do with my estate for God? |
A30608 | And doth not God for the present curse thy portion? |
A30608 | And if mercies should come, what a daunting would this be to our hearts, that mercies are come, but we have not sought them? |
A30608 | And 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? |
A30608 | Art thou one of the seed of Iacob, and hast sought God and sayest, thou hast had no answer? |
A30608 | Art thou sorry for what thou hast done? |
A30608 | Behold 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? |
A30608 | Boniface the martyr when he was asked the question, if he might have the sacrament, if he would drink it in a wooden challice? |
A30608 | But 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? |
A30608 | But art thou of the seed of Iacob? |
A30608 | But by what means shall these mercies be bestowed on then? |
A30608 | But how comes it thus to passe, that men should be so greedy of this their portion? |
A30608 | But how many broken Gentry expected to raise their condition on the other side? |
A30608 | But it follows upon it, notwithstanding when the Sonne of man comes shall he find faith on earth? |
A30608 | But now, wherein doth it appear that it is not in vain to seek the Lord? |
A30608 | But what hath he done of late? |
A30608 | But what if David should now perish in this distresse, should God be any looser by it? |
A30608 | But what is there in the Saints that makes them the excellent in the earth? |
A30608 | But what is this supernaturall manner of serving God? |
A30608 | But 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? |
A30608 | But wherein lyeth the efficacy of prayer? |
A30608 | But why sayest thou so O Iacob? |
A30608 | But 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? |
A30608 | But you will say; Lord, what will become of us? |
A30608 | But 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? |
A30608 | But( you''le say) do you think to preach to men that have their portion here in this life? |
A30608 | Can you make good that you are one of the seed of Iacob? |
A30608 | Canst thou say that thou art of the Church? |
A30608 | Consider 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? |
A30608 | Did not David cry oft, and yet his enemies did not turn their backs when he cryed? |
A30608 | England, Ireland, and Scotland, are but 3. little spots unto the world, and what are your farmes and your mannours? |
A30608 | Esau 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? |
A30608 | Examine then whether these things of the world, be not the onely suitable things to your hearts? |
A30608 | First understand, who they are, you speak off; do you know wherein you and they differ? |
A30608 | First, the poor things that men have here in this world, what are they? |
A30608 | For 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? |
A30608 | God 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? |
A30608 | God desires Zion; what is Zion, but onely his Saints and people joyned together? |
A30608 | Hast thou not known? |
A30608 | Hast thou nothing to put into the scoales but this? |
A30608 | Hath not God done great things heretofore, in 88. and in the powder plot and at other times? |
A30608 | He cryed oft when his enemies prevailed: yet he saith, When I cried then mine enemies turned back: and this I know, why? |
A30608 | How do you know such an ones child, but by his likenesse to his father? |
A30608 | How excellent is thy loving kindnesse? |
A30608 | How is that? |
A30608 | How long will ye love vanity and seek after leasing? |
A30608 | How many prayers have we put up to God, and find not the issue? |
A30608 | I appeal to thy conscience; when thou hast gone to pray to God, hast thou propounded this end? |
A30608 | I but who have you spoke too all this while? |
A30608 | I hear indeed there are some menare put of so, what if that should prove to be my portion what a miserable creature were I? |
A30608 | I 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? |
A30608 | I, now you seek God, but this is in your affliction, and will God regard you now? |
A30608 | If there be nothing but vanity, how canst thou expect that God should hear them? |
A30608 | If there were nothing else, what a delightfull thing is it saith the heart? |
A30608 | If they had prevailed how would they have blasphemed? |
A30608 | If thou have been a publick instrument, and hast done good and yet if in fear of successe thou hast repented? |
A30608 | If you ask what this excellency of Iacob is? |
A30608 | Is it in vain to serve the Lord? |
A30608 | Is the plowing, and the sowing of the husbandman, and all the showers in vain; because the corn is not in the barn? |
A30608 | Is this thy care? |
A30608 | It may be his estate, his houses, his lands may be somewhat worth, but what is his heart worth? |
A30608 | It 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? |
A30608 | Lastly, what art thou most carefull to lay up for thy children? |
A30608 | Many of you when you apprehend your selves to be in trouble, you then cry to God to be preserved: but to what end? |
A30608 | Now if thou prove a fornicatour thou art of the seed of Esau, or a profane person; what is that? |
A30608 | O must I leave you? |
A30608 | O our God, saith he, wilt thou not judge them? |
A30608 | O 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? |
A30608 | O wretch, why hast thou left? |
A30608 | On the one side how unfaithfull have they been? |
A30608 | Our slighting of the Gospell because we had it so ordinarie might have caused God to take it from us; and hath God restored it? |
A30608 | Secondly, 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? |
A30608 | See what thou dost most admire men for? |
A30608 | So for other places where hath God glory but for a few contemptibile ones? |
A30608 | So the men of the world, they have respect, but what is it for? |
A30608 | The Psalmist saith, O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? |
A30608 | The ambassadours of the king of Babylon came to congratulate with Hezekiah after his recovery: but what was the businesse? |
A30608 | The seed of Esau, what is that? |
A30608 | The state of the Church is called heaven, For what is there in heaven but is here? |
A30608 | The word of God shall be made good, but how? |
A30608 | They shall be abundantly satisfied; how? |
A30608 | Thirdly, live like such as God hath not put off with the portion of this world? |
A30608 | This incouragement we have, that there is not any of us that seek God alone, but we joyn with thousands: why should our place be found empty? |
A30608 | Thou sayest thou hast prayed, and thou thinkest thou hast not answer: hast thou believed this promise in the Text? |
A30608 | Thy way O God is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? |
A30608 | Were it not for a few gracious men, and women, what glory should God have in all the world? |
A30608 | What great things hath thy master done? |
A30608 | What hope hath an hypocrite though he hath gained, when God takes away his soul? |
A30608 | What is our inheritance? |
A30608 | What is that? |
A30608 | What is the delight of God, but the seeing of the shining of his glory in his works? |
A30608 | What is the mountain of God? |
A30608 | What is to make use of the memoriall we celebrate? |
A30608 | What makes prayer so powerfull with God? |
A30608 | What of him? |
A30608 | What use shall we make of it? |
A30608 | What was Iacobs inheritance? |
A30608 | What was that? |
A30608 | Where should the King of glory come but into his Church? |
A30608 | Where were those prayers of all the Saints that he must take a censer and offer incense with? |
A30608 | Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? |
A30608 | Who is it that can not tell histories of Gods gracious dealing with him upon his calling unto him? |
A30608 | Who is the King of glory? |
A30608 | Who shall ascend in to the hill of the Lord? |
A30608 | Why? |
A30608 | Why? |
A30608 | Would you desire that God should blesse you with the chief mercies that he hath? |
A30608 | Would you not delight to keep house with God? |
A30608 | You 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? |
A30608 | You will say, Why are the people of God called the seed of Iacob, rather then the seed of Abraham, or the seed of Isaac? |
A30608 | You will say, humbled, for what? |
A30608 | and manie thousands of Atheist; would have been made more then there was before: what a mightie offence, and stumbling block would this have been? |
A30608 | and thus he goes on, and there could be nothing got from him, but wounds, sides, heart, must I die? |
A30608 | and will he be favourable no more? |
A30608 | are they not wiser men that have kept themselves quiet and silent, and done as little as they could, nothing but what they have been forced to? |
A30608 | are you so desirous of it, as to be willing to leave them to the fury and rage of their adversaries? |
A30608 | art thou not discouraged in prayer? |
A30608 | as if he had said, what a strange man is this, the man is in danger of his life, and he talks of truth, what is truth? |
A30608 | dost thou not come home to thy wife and children, I say, I am an undone man? |
A30608 | doth his promise fail for evermore? |
A30608 | hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? |
A30608 | hast thou relyed on it? |
A30608 | is his mercy clean gone for ever? |
A30608 | is it worth so much, that they contend so about it? |
A30608 | it is such an excellent portion, that they are so greedy of it? |
A30608 | must I die, and go from all these? |
A30608 | so may I say to you that are godly, hath God given you Iesus Christ? |
A30608 | so may a man that hath his portion in this world, say at his death, where is this poor soul of mine going? |
A30608 | so what great things hath prayer done in the world? |
A30608 | that I had not appeared so much? |

A30615 | So, Oh that God would meet with such as are declining from the good waies of God, Oh thou soul whither art thou going? |
A30615 | So, what''s your chief Joy, your profitting by the word, or gaining by your bargains? |
A30615 | The work of Grace when it is first wrought, it hath the name of Vocation: Calling, what is it for a man to be called? |
A30615 | Then saith God, Is it so? |
A30615 | Then what shall he be that walks with God? |
A30615 | Therefore you know what Christ saith, What shall it profit a man, to gain the whol world, and lose his soul? |
A30615 | This is a special thing in walking with God, when they lie down to consider, Are my accompts even with God? |
A30615 | Thou goest abroad, and art dangerously wounded by an enemy, what refreshing then doest thou receive from all these things? |
A30615 | Thou hast a few names even in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments, What''s promised to them? |
A30615 | Thou tellest my wandrings, put thou my tears into thy bottle, are they not in thy book? |
A30615 | WHat Rules should be observed for a Christian''s walking with God? |
A30615 | What Idolatry is there in it? |
A30615 | What difference is there between the poor and rich when they die? |
A30615 | What evidence have you that the saving work of grace is wrought in you? |
A30615 | What is there in hell, but hatred and malice? |
A30615 | What motions flowing in had I at such a time? |
A30615 | What shall I do to please God? |
A30615 | What was the reason when the young man came to Christ, to know what he should do to the Eternal life that he got no good? |
A30615 | What''s done in Heaven, but the keeping of a perpetual Sabbath? |
A30615 | What''s the glory of Heaven but the reflection of Gods presence upon Heaven that makes it so glorious? |
A30615 | What''s to be done when Examples of Godly men are contrary? |
A30615 | What? |
A30615 | When he is in company with friends, is it so sweet to have society with men: how sweet is it to have society with God then? |
A30615 | When is the bird in danger of the Lime- twig or Net but when she comes to pick below upon the ground? |
A30615 | When we come to heaven, there we shall have dispositions sutable to heaven, but sure not till then? |
A30615 | While thou art mudling in the world, and plodding for thy self in the things of this world, If God should come to thee and say, Where art thou? |
A30615 | Whither was I going? |
A30615 | Who did ever walk with God so as Christ did? |
A30615 | Who were these? |
A30615 | Why( you will say?) |
A30615 | Would it not be a great benefit to the world if God should send some one Saint from Heaven, or Angel to converse in a bodily way among us? |
A30615 | You know what Philip said, Let us see the Father, and it sufficeth us: What, would it suffice Philip to see God? |
A30615 | You know, If you be walking from place to place, if you have good company with you, you are not weary, you account the journy nothing, why? |
A30615 | You will say for this Idolatry, What is there in it? |
A30615 | You will say, Do not these comfort our lives? |
A30615 | You will say, What Rule doth the Apostle mean here? |
A30615 | and are there no higher things to be had in God than such base things as thy heart is upon? |
A30615 | and are your thoughts solicitous about this? |
A30615 | and be rouling of sin and wickedness up and down in your thoughts? |
A30615 | and how can that stand with such workings as I have had before? |
A30615 | and that your sins are pardoned, and your souls justified? |
A30615 | and what opportunities to present petitions to God? |
A30615 | and what shall my graces that are in my soul be? |
A30615 | and where dost thou think to find so much good as in Abraham''s family, where the presence of God is? |
A30615 | are not you walking many times with the Devil, and making provision for the flesh? |
A30615 | are these the waies that are like the former waies that thou hast seem''d to walk in? |
A30615 | art thou going from thence? |
A30615 | art thou satisfied with dogs meat? |
A30615 | as he said to Adam; yea sometimes while thou art at prayer and hearing the Word, Where are thy thoughts, and about what? |
A30615 | but have I it with the blessing of God? |
A30615 | but then, take not only my soul, but my grace, the Divine Nature that is in my soul, what shall that be raised too? |
A30615 | but what communion have I with God in them? |
A30615 | but who are they that do so? |
A30615 | can you say in your consciences, that you think that they that do so have their Conversations in Heaven, you will do as they do? |
A30615 | can you value a poor man that is godly above the richest man that is wicked? |
A30615 | canst thou attain to a more strict and holy Conversation than a Heavenly Conversation? |
A30615 | do not you hear of many Saints of God that walk comfortably in the midst of all afflictions upon the assurance of Gods love? |
A30615 | do others glorifie God by beholding the lustre of the holiness of God in me? |
A30615 | do they see cause to blesse God that they see so much of the glory of God in me? |
A30615 | doest thou come from Abraham''s family? |
A30615 | doth God offer himself to walk and converse with you, and will you walk with the flesh, and converse with the Devil? |
A30615 | even as if there were no Heaven at all? |
A30615 | had not God higher thoughts in making of the children of men? |
A30615 | hath not godliness the promises of this life as well as of that to come? |
A30615 | have I any word from Jesus Christ to guide me in such a way? |
A30615 | have not I cause to fear that I am but an Hypocrite, a rotten professor? |
A30615 | have you so much time for the spending the very spirits of your souls upon the things of this earth, can you spare so many hours? |
A30615 | how great is the sum of them? |
A30615 | how sweet is God then? |
A30615 | if thou hadst but thy thoughts often working this way, Wherefore do I think in my conscience hath God made the children of men, for what end? |
A30615 | is 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? |
A30615 | is that possible? |
A30615 | is the way that I am in like to the way that befeems an Immortal soul? |
A30615 | is there nothing amisse between God and my soul? |
A30615 | must I leave you now? |
A30615 | shall I come before him with burns offerings? |
A30615 | shall I give my first born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? |
A30615 | shalt thou profess an interest in Christ? |
A30615 | that you are at peace with God? |
A30615 | that you are translated out of the kingdom of darknesse into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ? |
A30615 | that you have shot the gulf? |
A30615 | thou 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? |
A30615 | thy body being either too much heated, or too much coold, what''s become of all thy comfort here in this earth? |
A30615 | we can not be Saints? |
A30615 | we have the Prophesie of Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and other Prophets; but where the Prophesie of Enoch? |
A30615 | what 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? |
A30615 | what abundant enterance will be made into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? |
A30615 | what are we doing? |
A30615 | what comfort can I have in all the good things I have enjoyed? |
A30615 | what converse with God have you had there? |
A30615 | what do you loose through this earthlinesse? |
A30615 | what evil would the over- charging of the heart which the cares of this life bring? |
A30615 | what hath been this day between God and my soul? |
A30615 | what is there in hell, but raging and filthiness? |
A30615 | what need we labor to do so much? |
A30615 | what news from Heaven? |
A30615 | what shall people do then, when they see that either way holy men go in? |
A30615 | what was Demas before? |
A30615 | what were they mad men to rejoyce at the plundering of their estates? |
A30615 | what would you take for the enjoyment of such an hour as that is? |
A30615 | what''s become of Agrippa and Bernice with al their pagentry greatness? |
A30615 | what''s my way; whither am I going? |
A30615 | what''s that that doth most trouble your hearts? |
A30615 | what''s the matter? |
A30615 | whatsoever 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? |
A30615 | when their goods were spoil''d, did they take that joyfully? |
A30615 | when will that blessed day come when I shall come to enjoy those good things that are there? |
A30615 | where''s the great workings of your spirits? |
A30615 | who are you conversing withal? |
A30615 | who had ever that fellowship with the Father and the Son so as Christ had? |
A30615 | why hath he sent them hither into the world? |
A30615 | wil not this be folly? |
A30615 | will a Reprobates portion content thee? |
A30615 | will it serve thee? |
A30615 | will not you curse your selves hereafter for your folly? |
A30615 | will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of Oyl? |
A30615 | with Calves of a yeer old? |
A30615 | you should be walking with God: what are you the Saints of God? |
A30576 | 15. saith Paul, Where is then the Blessedness you spake of? |
A30576 | 48. say they,( when the Officers were Affected with the Ministry of Christ) Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
A30576 | Am I the man? |
A30576 | And God comfort you; and so: I, but what have you of the Doctrine of Reconciliation with God, and the way of Attonement with God? |
A30576 | And can the World offer to you as much as this comes to? |
A30576 | And daily experience teaches it too, who are those that are the most spiritual and heavenly Christians, are they those that are fullest? |
A30576 | And grant God may call at the eleventh hour, I but it is not said God will call eleven times? |
A30576 | And so, I say, What knowest thou, O Child, whether thou mayest save thy Brother, or Sister? |
A30576 | And the truth is, We would willingly Dart up such a Prayer to God, if we knew how God did begin to stir you? |
A30576 | And then he shews himself; Look upon me, is it not I that have done it? |
A30576 | And then, He is the end of my Life: To what purpose do I live, if it were not in order to Him? |
A30576 | And thus much for this Supposition, If not: What follows? |
A30576 | And to what end? |
A30576 | And well may their Ministers say, Where is the Blessedness you spake of? |
A30576 | And what Wayes were they? |
A30576 | And what art thou, that thou shouldest keep a stir under any hand of God? |
A30576 | And what hath God yet come and strove with me again for all this Rejection? |
A30576 | And what then? |
A30576 | And who were these? |
A30576 | And why did they deride Him? |
A30576 | And why? |
A30576 | And you will say, How is this an Argument? |
A30576 | Are there a People that they are sent to, to whom do they offer Christ? |
A30576 | As for Instance, Peace between God and us: Why, what are we Enemies? |
A30576 | As 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? |
A30576 | As now, I have for the present Health of Body: Where doth the good of the Health of my Body lie? |
A30576 | Ask a Dying Soul, what Peace with God is worth? |
A30576 | But I this day, in the Name of God demand of you, How came you to have this Peace? |
A30576 | But alas, You go with a barren Heart, and carry nothing at all: And why? |
A30576 | But how comes in the last, And the Poor receive the Gospel? |
A30576 | But how is it sanctified by the Word? |
A30576 | But now, What will satisfie the Soul of Jesus Christ for all this? |
A30576 | But now, because much may be said, As doth not God call at the Eleventh hour and the like? |
A30576 | But the Rulers, have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees, the Great Men, and the Rich Men, the Learned Men, Have they believed? |
A30576 | But you will say, How doth the Gospel discover so much of the Evil of sin? |
A30576 | But 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? |
A30576 | But, 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? |
A30576 | Can there be any thing to draw your Hearts away from it, that shall be Equal with this Good? |
A30576 | Can you bring unto them any Truths you have heard? |
A30576 | Can you say so now? |
A30576 | Can you say so? |
A30576 | Come about such a Work as this, to be an Embassador of Reconciliation from the Great God of Heaven and Earth? |
A30576 | Could there have been any thing more to reveal the evil of your sin, than this was? |
A30576 | Do I enjoy my fulness for God, yea or no? |
A30576 | Do I see Jesus Christ rejected by others? |
A30576 | Do you enjoy no Good? |
A30576 | Do''st thou thus requite the Lord, O foolish heart? |
A30576 | Doth it return from you? |
A30576 | Doth not God by this, some way, or other, help me against some sin? |
A30576 | Doth the Gospel go away from thee? |
A30576 | Doth the Gospel return again? |
A30576 | For the first, When hath a Man learned how to be full? |
A30576 | For what doth a Godly man see in Christ? |
A30576 | For what knowest thou, O Wife, whether thou shalt save thy Husband? |
A30576 | Go and make the heart of this People fat; but this was a mighty hard Message: How must this Prophet be prepared? |
A30576 | God gives you abundance in the neather Springs, but doth he give you the upper Springs too? |
A30576 | God he saith, Who is this that uttereth words without knowledge? |
A30576 | Hath He afflicted thee in thy Body, He might have afflicted thee in thy Soul? |
A30576 | Hath He afflicted thee in thy Estate, He might have afflicted thee in thy Body? |
A30576 | Hath He afflicted thee in thy Soul here, He might have sent thee down to Hell eternally? |
A30576 | Hath the Gospel had this end of it upon your Hearts? |
A30576 | Have I learned to be full? |
A30576 | Have any of them Believed on Him? |
A30576 | Have they known the Blessed things of the Gospel? |
A30576 | Have you found the Ministry of the Gospel to be powerful upon you, and to bring this Peace into you? |
A30576 | Here''s the Reason why they will do thus unto you, they will be far from entertaining of you, but will rather oppose you: Why? |
A30576 | How are they described? |
A30576 | How came God and your Souls to be Friends? |
A30576 | How is this an Argument that Christ is the Messias? |
A30576 | How shall I know that they are good to me? |
A30576 | How shall they Preach except they be sent? |
A30576 | I appeal to you this morning, as in the Name of God, Have these things been in your thoughts that have been spoken to you? |
A30576 | I beseech you, examine whether this be so in you or no? |
A30576 | I have an Estate, Wherein lies the good of it? |
A30576 | I have bestowed mercy upon you already, and how did you abuse it? |
A30576 | I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for us? |
A30576 | I put this to you in the Name of God, I say, Hath the Peace of the Gospel rested upon your Hearts? |
A30576 | I put this to your Souls, What Treaties hath there been between God and you? |
A30576 | I say, What do you account your Lives to consist in? |
A30576 | I, but what hath God revealed his Grace in Christ unto their Souls? |
A30576 | If I Live, Wherein lies the good of Life? |
A30576 | If a Man hath a great Gain, and it comes not in his present Possession, he thinks, What shall I have for my Forbearance? |
A30576 | If the Son of Peace be there, your Peace shall rest upon it: But what if not? |
A30576 | If there be any that will not Imbrace it? |
A30576 | If we account a firm and sure peace to be so sweet, would not we be willing to lay down our Lives? |
A30576 | In the mean time, I appeal this day in the Name of God to your Conscience; Have you learned to be full? |
A30576 | Is it possible that Jesus Christ, wheresoever He comes, should not be Entertain''d? |
A30576 | Is it so with thy heart? |
A30576 | Is it upon any within thy Dwelling- place, it might have been upon thy self? |
A30576 | Is the Gospel returned from thee? |
A30576 | Is the sight of God that, that should cause us humbly to submit? |
A30576 | Is there an Enmity between God and us? |
A30576 | It is not a New thing for the World to have such an Esteem of Ministers of the Gospel: And what do they do? |
A30576 | It 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? |
A30576 | It may possibly be, that some will not receive your Ministry? |
A30576 | It''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? |
A30576 | It''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? |
A30576 | John would know whether He was the Messiah: How shall he know it? |
A30576 | Lastly, Is this true, That God sends the Preaching of the Gospel where he sees it will and doth not prevail with many? |
A30576 | Let him know, saith he, that he that Converteth a sinner from the Errour of his Way, Let him know: What shall he know? |
A30576 | Mark, Receive with Meekness the Word: But how? |
A30576 | Mark, 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? |
A30576 | Ninthly, And then lastly, We shall enjoy what is in Christ without any Intermission: What''s the reason of any Intermission here? |
A30576 | Now 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? |
A30576 | Now have you sold all? |
A30576 | Now how comes this? |
A30576 | Now if God knows that before a Man comes, it will not be entertain''d, why doth God send it? |
A30576 | Now let every one of you lay his hand upon his Heart, and think thus with himself; Is it I? |
A30576 | Now 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? |
A30576 | Now then, Is that the main thing? |
A30576 | Now what an unseemly thing is this, among those who profess themselves Christians? |
A30576 | Now you will say, What Paul? |
A30576 | Now, Is not this worth any ones Labour and Life? |
A30576 | Now, hadst thou as much as all the Saints ever had, were not that Gain? |
A30576 | Now: When was that Now? |
A30576 | O Repent and Turn from your sins; Why? |
A30576 | O my Soul, where are they? |
A30576 | O the Hearts of People were mightily stirred, ever since the dayes of John Baptist; and why? |
A30576 | O, do you shew forth the Power and Efficacy of the Ministry of the Gospel, of that Ministry of mine upon you: Why? |
A30576 | Or how knowest thou, O Man, whether thou shalt save thy Wife? |
A30576 | Or thou, O Husband, whether thou shalt save thy Wife? |
A30576 | Or thou, O Servant, whether thou mayest save thy Fellow- Servant? |
A30576 | Or whether those Men that are serviceable to the Great Ends of God, in setting forth the Honour of Jesus Christ? |
A30576 | Secondly, Can there be next unto this, a greater Encouragement, than to be an Instrument of good to our Brethren, of good to Mankind? |
A30576 | Sin: Why are there any Men in the World that have no sin? |
A30576 | So they did to the Prophets and Apostles: Elisha, Art not thou the troubler of Israel? |
A30576 | So, Dost thou thus requite the Lord, hath God made thy condition more comfortable than anothers? |
A30576 | Some times you will speak in way of Indignation, What do you think me a Heathen, a Turk? |
A30576 | That Scripture speaks of a Promise of Eternal Life before the World began: How could there be a Promise before the World began? |
A30576 | That Sweetness and Comfort thou hast in communion with Christ at any time, thou shalt have it at all times: And how good is that? |
A30576 | The Lord saith thus to Job: Who is this whose heart doth fret and is so impatient, who is it? |
A30576 | The Lord was patient with my Father many Years, and why may not I venture as he did? |
A30576 | The 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? |
A30576 | The Patience of God doth Lead to Repentance; Then what might the Grace of God do, that is held out in the Gospel? |
A30576 | There comes a young man running to Christ, and saith, Good Master, what shall I do to Inherit Eternal Life? |
A30576 | They can Die daily unto the World: Why? |
A30576 | They have been rejected all in their Ministry, and what art thou that thou canst not bear any Rejection? |
A30576 | Think 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? |
A30576 | Those Men that are the most Rebellious, yet Christ hath received Gifts for them: What Gifts? |
A30576 | Thou hast a Table well furnished, but how do''st thou know but that it is a snare for thee, and a trap? |
A30576 | Thy House is full, and thy Estate, but what''s thy Heart in the mean time? |
A30576 | Thy conscience shall not upbraid thee, as others will; Thou comest to God for mercy, What come to me for mercy? |
A30576 | To whom could it be made? |
A30576 | We know that you are those whom God hath Eternally Elected: How do you know that? |
A30576 | Well, How doth God the Father send Christ? |
A30576 | Were they not made fuel for your lusts, and serviceable to your wickedness? |
A30576 | Were you in the Counsel of God, in Gods Treasury, to know what His Thoughts were: How can you tell the Election of God? |
A30576 | What Phisicians have you had? |
A30576 | What art thou more than Jesus Christ thy Master? |
A30576 | What art thou more than Paul and other of the Apostles? |
A30576 | What do you account your Lives to be? |
A30576 | What do you mean, when you say that Christ doth teach his people to know how to be full? |
A30576 | What do you think will become of you, when your fulness shall be taken from you? |
A30576 | What doth God aim at, why I should have a prosperous estate and others not? |
A30576 | What great Evil wil follow upon this? |
A30576 | What hast thou done with them? |
A30576 | What have you to help their troubled Consciences, and to pacifie them? |
A30576 | What is that acceptable time? |
A30576 | What is there between God and my Family? |
A30576 | What shall the Lord send Embassadors of Peace? |
A30576 | What then? |
A30576 | What will you get away all my estate and make me a begger? |
A30576 | What would not we do to purchase a good and sure Peace here in the Kingdom? |
A30576 | What''s that? |
A30576 | What''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? |
A30576 | What''s the Wise more than the Fool? |
A30576 | What''s the reason of Ecclipses? |
A30576 | What, Is this the Errand that I am sent about, to go and Preach the Gospel, that brings Life and Immortality to light? |
A30576 | What, dost thou apprehend God as an Enemy? |
A30576 | What, shall such a glorious Gospel be preached in vain? |
A30576 | What, shall the precious Blood of Jesus Christ be shed in vain? |
A30576 | What? |
A30576 | When Christ came to Jerusalem, He falls a Weeping: Upon what ground? |
A30576 | When 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? |
A30576 | When 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? |
A30576 | When there is a Promise made, there must be some body to receive it? |
A30576 | When thou shalt have eaten and be full( saith the Text) what then? |
A30576 | When was there ever a Kingdom upon the Face of the Earth, that hath had longer continuance of outward Peace, than England hath had? |
A30576 | When we come to bring the Pearl of the Gospel to you, have you embrac''d it? |
A30576 | Wherefore learn by this, Not to be too Sudden, nor so Peremptory, in the judging of Gods Administrations: Why? |
A30576 | Whether you can say as the Apostle here did, To me to live is Christ? |
A30576 | Which are the Men that God accounts most Happy? |
A30576 | Who art thou? |
A30576 | Who do you account to be the Men that live the brave Lives in the World? |
A30576 | Who doth believe it? |

A30585 | Dare I venture my soul and my eternal estate upon hopes that these things are not so bad as I hear? |
A30585 | Did Jesus Christ come into the world for that end for to cause thee to depart more from God? |
A30585 | Do not we find in Scripture that the Church had alwaies wicked men among them? |
A30585 | Do not we see that men will rather favor their own Kindred than strangers, though the offence be the same? |
A30585 | Do you come peaceably say they? |
A30585 | Do you get nothing else but this by hearing Sermons? |
A30585 | Doest thou say, Her''s a great deal? |
A30585 | From whence is it that thou art unfit, but from the temptation of the Devil? |
A30585 | Further 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? |
A30585 | God, He is the living God: What behavior then doth beseem me towards this living God? |
A30585 | How comes it to pass that these are apostatized thus from God? |
A30585 | How doth it appear that the Nation of Israel is a greater Nation than other Nations are? |
A30585 | How hath God glorified himself? |
A30585 | How is that? |
A30585 | How many live without God in the world, and do declare to all the world that they are not of God? |
A30585 | How? |
A30585 | I am now going to God; for what? |
A30585 | I appeal to any gratious heart, What canst thou want of any of these, or what wouldest thou want? |
A30585 | I appeal to you, have you had that freedom in prayer, afterwards? |
A30585 | I beseech you now lay this text to your hearts, Do you prepare your hearts to seek God? |
A30585 | I 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? |
A30585 | I must sanctifie Gods Name, and how can I do that, except my heart be sanctified? |
A30585 | If any of you should say, How can we sanctifie Gods Name, we are poor and weak, we can do little? |
A30585 | If so be that thou sawest a knife that had cut the throat of thy dearest child, would not thy heart rise against that knife? |
A30585 | If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hand towards him:( What then?) |
A30585 | If you ask me, wherein it differs? |
A30585 | If you do neglect duty in the morning upon any business, are you fitter to perform duty at night because of it? |
A30585 | If you had but the Invitations of the Spirit now, that sometimes you have had, how happy were it for you? |
A30585 | In the Worship of God there be two Questions that He will ask, First, Who required this at your hands? |
A30585 | Is it not a sweet thing to be in his presence? |
A30585 | Is not this honor enough? |
A30585 | Is there a word presented? |
A30585 | Is this all? |
A30585 | It seems then that it is not enough to receive it with gladness? |
A30585 | It was but a howling upon their beds: And how so? |
A30585 | It 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? |
A30585 | Know you not that a little leaven leaveneth the whol lump? |
A30585 | Let us draw neer( saith the Text) Who would not draw neer to God? |
A30585 | Mark how he speaks, But it is good for me: Why? |
A30585 | Mark 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? |
A30585 | Must the People of Israel manifest their holiness in this, That they must eat nothing torn by beasts, but cast it unto dogs? |
A30585 | Ninthly, 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? |
A30585 | Now concerning that I''le but propound these few particulars; You will say, Must we beleeve every thing that is spoken? |
A30585 | Now 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? |
A30585 | Now 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? |
A30585 | Now then you will say, What should be done in the hearing Gods Word, so as Gods Name may be Sanctified? |
A30585 | Now what doth this call for? |
A30585 | Now when is there a time for the acting of our graces upon God, so as when we come to worship God? |
A30585 | Now you will say, How doth God appear, that he doth not accept of them? |
A30585 | Now you will say, How should a Beleever sanctifie the Justice of God? |
A30585 | Oh fear and tremble lest your condition be such as to be nigh to cursing: Who knows what a day, a week may bring forth? |
A30585 | Oh now, the good Word of the Gospel, how should we prize it, and keep it in our hearts? |
A30585 | Oh what a good thing is it to be in the presence of God: Is not the Lord the fountain of thy life? |
A30585 | One would have thought that these Priests offering Incense to the true God, what hurt was there in taking other Fire? |
A30585 | Or was the holiness of the People of Israel such, as God required them, that they must eat nothing that was torn by beasts? |
A30585 | Saith he, Go ye into al the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, and he that beleeveth and is Baptized shall be saved? |
A30585 | Secondly, Suppose we do not find our hearts prepared as we do desire; Whether it were better to leave off the duty than perform it? |
A30585 | So, our coming nigh to God is such a priviledg as cost the Blood of Christ; And will not you improve it? |
A30585 | Suppose it be one of your own family, wil not you be ready to excuse them? |
A30585 | Take it; how shal we take it? |
A30585 | That is, That you should come to worship him, Is this a small thing to you? |
A30585 | The Cup of blessing which we bless, it is not the Communion of the blood of Christ? |
A30585 | The First is, Whether we ought at all times to set apart some time for Preparation to every duty of Gods Worship? |
A30585 | The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Thou art separated from the world, To what end? |
A30585 | The Lord is terrible out of his holy places: When we have to deal with God, who can stand before this holy God? |
A30585 | The Lord there did acknowledg that they were very much affected in their prayers, but what was it? |
A30585 | The Saints of God, the Children of Israel, the Church of God are said to be a people neer to God; Why neer him? |
A30585 | The bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ? |
A30585 | The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not Communion of the blood of Christ? |
A30585 | The 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? |
A30585 | Their parts act much before others, But what is there between God and their own souls? |
A30585 | Then what sutable behavior doth become me? |
A30585 | They have built a glorious Temple to God, but what do I regard that saith God? |
A30585 | They were careful to offer their fattest beasts in their peace- offerings, and will not God regard them? |
A30585 | Thinkest thou this O man that judgest them that do such things,& doest the same, that thou shalt escape the Judgment of God? |
A30585 | This day if you should hear a voice out of the Clouds from Heaven speaking to you, would you not then listen? |
A30585 | This is a strange Scripture: What, must a Prophet go to them to make their hearts fat, and to shut their eyes? |
A30585 | Thou rejectest the Word, doest thou? |
A30585 | To examine our selves of what? |
A30585 | Trouble 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? |
A30585 | We 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? |
A30585 | We know how it was with Adam, when God appeared in the Garden and called to him, he ran to hide himself; Why? |
A30585 | Were they not struck with such fear that they thought they should die? |
A30585 | What Nation is there so great as you are? |
A30585 | What account had you been able to have given unto him? |
A30585 | What did Mary choose? |
A30585 | What 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? |
A30585 | What do you get this by going to Sermons? |
A30585 | What doth a Father more delight in than to have his Children about him? |
A30585 | What if we do not sanctifie Gods Name in this dutie? |
A30585 | What is it then? |
A30585 | What should a Child love most but to be in the presence of his Father? |
A30585 | What then is the holiness of the infinite God? |
A30585 | What was their sin? |
A30585 | What would make you to attend to any thing? |
A30585 | What''s the reason then that you sin so much with your bodies? |
A30585 | What''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? |
A30585 | What''s the reason why we wander so as we do, but meerly because we see not God? |
A30585 | When 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? |
A30585 | When every toy, every feather, every light matter cals them off; Is this to Sanctifie Gods Name? |
A30585 | When thou comest before God, Consider that thou comest to a merciful God: And what should this work? |
A30585 | When thou comest to perform holy duties thou art troubled, Will the Lord have regard to such a duty as this is? |
A30585 | When you go home, you must hold forth the power of the Word you hear: well, what wil become of that? |
A30585 | Where do we find that ever God had forbidden them to offer strange Fire, or appointed that they should offer only one kind of Fire? |
A30585 | Whether it be sinfull to pray for afflictions, as somtimes some will be ready to do? |
A30585 | Whether it it be from the general Bounty and Patience of God, or from the special love of God in Jesus Christ? |
A30585 | Who shall go down into the deep? |
A30585 | Who shall go down to Hell to know there, whether that place be prepared for him or no? |
A30585 | Why, canst thou make good the former, and appeal to God, that indeed it was thy care to make preparation? |
A30585 | Why, did they not fear the Lord? |
A30585 | Why, in what respects may a man be said to draw nigh to God when he Worships him? |
A30585 | Why, is not God in every place? |
A30585 | Why? |
A30585 | Will God accept of a duty when I perform it, and am not set for it? |
A30585 | Would you know whether you have received the Spirit of aboption yea or no? |
A30585 | Yes, what then? |
A30585 | You may ask me this Question, How may I know that I am acted by self- ends in holy Duties? |
A30585 | You wil say, If a man have business in the world, how can this be? |
A30585 | You wil say, Must it be received in a Communion of Saints? |
A30585 | You will say, Are we bound to spend some time every time we go to prayer beforehand, or every time we come to the Word? |
A30585 | You will say, Can any thing that is good come from the Devil? |
A30585 | You will say, Can not we sit at home and reade a Sermon? |
A30585 | You 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? |
A30585 | You will say, Here is a great deal of do in serving of God, how much is here that we must do? |
A30585 | You will say, If God understand a mans heart, what need he come and confess? |
A30585 | You will say, Must we plow up our hearts before we come to hear? |
A30585 | You will say, Why is not the Word of the Law as nigh one as the Word of the Gospel? |
A30585 | You will say, Why may not any time be said to be holy that I spend in holy duties? |
A30585 | and in hearing the Word; and so likewise for receiving the Sacrament? |
A30585 | and then mark how he doubled it, To me? |
A30585 | and yet what a poor appearance is there of such people at the hearing of the Word? |
A30585 | even unto me? |
A30585 | even unto me? |
A30585 | hath he Body and Blood, and human Nature upon him? |
A30585 | have you actually renewed your covenant with God? |
A30585 | how hath God honored humane Nature? |
A30585 | is not Gods Name prophaned here? |
A30585 | it was from hence, because he was so nigh to God: Would you have your faces to shine in a holy conversation before men? |
A30585 | or what is the behavior of the soul in the sanctifying of Gods Name when it is in the very act of the duty? |
A30585 | shall I give any occasion that this Word of the Lord should be spoken ill of by reason of me? |
A30585 | sometimes there are some things spoken that we can not tell how to beleeve? |
A30585 | that 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? |
A30585 | that you abbuse your body with uncleanness, and drunkenness, and other wickedness afterwards? |
A30585 | the Lord is nigh unto all, to all that call upon him in truth; you will say, What is the meaning of that? |
A30585 | the bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ? |
A30585 | then me thought I could have gone through fire and water for God? |
A30585 | thou hast ability in expressing of thy self in prayer: why, do thy parts commend thee to God? |
A30585 | were the Word true yea, or no? |
A30585 | what can I do? |
A30585 | what do you go for? |
A30585 | what fellowship hath Christ with Belial? |
A30585 | what friends would you make to take him off from punishment? |
A30585 | what if I were now going to receive the sentence of my eternal doom; Would I not then beleeve these things? |
A30585 | what if wicked men do come there, will that hinder us from sanctifying Gods Name in partaking of the Sacrament with them? |
A30585 | when ye go to prayr, Can you say that you take pains in preparing your hearts for it? |
A30585 | whether he will accept of me, and of that obedience and worship that I tender up to him? |
A30585 | who is the man, or where is he that will do this? |
A30585 | will you not speak when you see the Fire kindling? |
A30585 | would I not then think what I hear out of the Word to be true? |
A30585 | would you give belief unto the suggestions of the Devil then? |
A30585 | you that have taken the body of Christ, have you given up your body to Christ? |
A30585 | you will not find it to be so: The forbearing a duty now, will not make the soul fitter for a duty afterwards? |
A30566 | A mallefactor in prison is not executed many times, Why? |
A30566 | A pardon of what? |
A30566 | And Secondly, that whatsoever thou doest shal be accepted, though with much imperfection, how wouldest thou prize this? |
A30566 | And have I a stock of grace from him to trade by, that what I trade by I have from him? |
A30566 | And have I got ease and rest by virtue of the promises of the Gospel? |
A30566 | And have I searched into the Covenant of Grace, and found there promises to convey comfort unto my soul? |
A30566 | And 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? |
A30566 | And is not this a blessed Rest? |
A30566 | And now, is not here rest for the soul? |
A30566 | And 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? |
A30566 | And therefore we should when we come to any ordinance think with our selves, what have we of Christ, what have we of Christ here? |
A30566 | And 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? |
A30566 | And what preaching was this? |
A30566 | And why art thou afraid thou art not a beleever? |
A30566 | And would not many of you say, as those in Malachy, When wil the sabboth be over? |
A30566 | Are we able to go to the body of the Sun? |
A30566 | Art thou one that is come to Christ, and brought to Christ? |
A30566 | Art thou one that is in the state of beleevers, being a member of Christ? |
A30566 | Art thou taken off from thy self and al the creatures? |
A30566 | As for the First? |
A30566 | As if he should say, the deliverance that I must have from this body of death, it is from God, but how? |
A30566 | As it was in Adam, how come we to have so much sin conveyed to us by Adam by propagation, but thus? |
A30566 | As now sickness of body, what a Burden is it? |
A30566 | As we come to a friend sometimes, and desire somewhat of him, but how? |
A30566 | As, do you exercise your faith for peace and comfort, and mainly for that? |
A30566 | Because the Judg may out of favor reprieve him for a while, I but, is this a condition to rest in? |
A30566 | Blessed Redeemer, dost thou cal us? |
A30566 | But how shal this Law of sin and death be overcome? |
A30566 | But is there any of you that are seeking rest and peace unto your souls in such a way by the righteousness of the Law? |
A30566 | But now Schollars though it is tiresome to the flesh, they can go on and make it easy to them, why? |
A30566 | But now in motion, what is the Reason that the fire ascends upwards? |
A30566 | But 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? |
A30566 | But now, wherein do these promises appeare to be so precious? |
A30566 | But then what are we delivered from in the Law by Christ? |
A30566 | But you wil say wherein doth it appeare to be so glorious in regard of our corruption? |
A30566 | But you wil say, alas, Christ is so glorious, how shal we come to him? |
A30566 | But you wil say, hath not Christ suffered? |
A30566 | But you will say, Is this the Law of God? |
A30566 | Can not a Father chastise his Child and yet do it out of Love? |
A30566 | Canst thou when thou art sorrowing for thy sins, present the sorrows of Jesus Christ by Faith unto the Father? |
A30566 | Christ cals you; perhaps some of you may say, we have not been sensible of this; do you begin to understand it? |
A30566 | Christ hath given thee Rest, wilt not thou do what thou canst to give thy brother rest too? |
A30566 | Christ invites the heavy laden;[ heavy laden] what is that? |
A30566 | Christ was made poor that he might make us Rich, doth therefore poverty trouble thee? |
A30566 | Come to many beleevers that are ful of doubts and feares and why do they not beleeve? |
A30566 | Come to me, say many, Why doth Christ call me? |
A30566 | Do not you find it thus? |
A30566 | Do they not live inoffensively? |
A30566 | Do you begin to feel it somthing weighty upon your Hearts? |
A30566 | Do you think the night is a night of Rest that is before the execution of a condemned man? |
A30566 | Dost thou feel thy Heart drawn nearer to God? |
A30566 | Dost 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? |
A30566 | Doth God begin to let in some light to you? |
A30566 | For 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? |
A30566 | For he that said, thou shalt not commit adultery, said also thou shalt not kil: now where are these comandements, but in the ten commandements? |
A30566 | For him to be made a curse for sinners, will that do it? |
A30566 | For the first, Come to me, what is that? |
A30566 | For you wil say, who is there that commits not sin? |
A30566 | From being under the Covenant of works? |
A30566 | God 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? |
A30566 | Hath my heart been exercised after this manner? |
A30566 | Have I found the burden of my inward corruption? |
A30566 | Have you any Burden in your Children? |
A30566 | Have you any burden in your Yoke fellows? |
A30566 | Have you any burden of poverty? |
A30566 | Here is an affliction, but from whence doth it come? |
A30566 | How 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? |
A30566 | How dreadful doth God speak, and to whom? |
A30566 | How is that you wil say? |
A30566 | How much dost thou think the mercy of Christs coming to take Mans Nature upon him is worth, to take our sinful Nature upon him? |
A30566 | How stand I to God? |
A30566 | How wilt thou be able to look God in the face another day? |
A30566 | How, you wil say, doth the Law of God give a strength to sin? |
A30566 | I answer, What Rest? |
A30566 | I come to Christ that I may commit my whole soul to him, is not this a sanctifying grace? |
A30566 | I have borne the burden of sin already, Is it the wrath of God that is a burden to you? |
A30566 | III Thirdly, It is a burden because it may be my holy profession is scandalized by it, and is not this a burden? |
A30566 | In the word, prayer, sacraments, hath my heart been drawn neerer to Christ in them? |
A30566 | Is it not a burden to be in this Condition? |
A30566 | Is it not a mercy that thou art out of hel this day? |
A30566 | Is it not worth a great deal of pains to come to Christ? |
A30566 | Is it possible that the soul can have any rest in this Condition? |
A30566 | Is it the burden of any affliction? |
A30566 | Is the society and company of the saints a rest to the, or rather a trouble to thee? |
A30566 | Is there Rest for such a Soul that is in this condition? |
A30566 | Is there not that that will recompence all at last, whatever trouble there is at first, the work of humiliation and the like? |
A30566 | It s mercy thou needest, and Mercy thou must have, or else thou art for ever miserable, and wilt thou reject this mercy? |
A30566 | Jesus Christ is the thing that we seek for, have we him? |
A30566 | Lord why castest thou off my soul, why hidest thou thy face from mee? |
A30566 | Many Christians are laboring under the burden of their corruptions, a long time, why? |
A30566 | Many Christians, they seek to have Christ, but why? |
A30566 | Many men and women wil say, when they hear of the terrors of the Law, what doth this but harden us? |
A30566 | Mark how Christ excuse them, they do not say when Christ comes and saith, can not you watch with me one hour? |
A30566 | May we not appeale from Gods justice to Gods mercy seat? |
A30566 | Men indeed count the sabboth a rest, Why? |
A30566 | My God My God why hast thou forsaken mee? |
A30566 | NOw for a word of Application: doth Christ cal for burdened Souls; to come to him that they may have rest? |
A30566 | No, it would burn us up, how can we be able to go to the glory of God then? |
A30566 | Now can any man be at peace when he is a condemned creature? |
A30566 | Now doth thy soul enjoy more rest in the ordinances then in any other way? |
A30566 | Now how shouldest thou entertain these threates? |
A30566 | Now is not this a burden, for thee to loose the sweetness of thy Soul in communion with God? |
A30566 | Now 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? |
A30566 | Now then, is there any poor Soul that understands what these things mean? |
A30566 | Now therefore, how should the soul come to be deliuered from the strength of sin? |
A30566 | Now what a temptation is this? |
A30566 | Now what duty is harder then restitution? |
A30566 | Now what is this but to make faith legal? |
A30566 | Now you will say, in what respect may the Law be said to be a Burden? |
A30566 | Now, 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? |
A30566 | One would have thought the chain should have gon along in that linke, but there is no mention of sanctification, Why? |
A30566 | Or burden by reason of weakness in Body? |
A30566 | Or what reference hath God to me? |
A30566 | Pay every one their own, they do no wrong, they come to Church and serve God, what would they have more? |
A30566 | Secondly, Come to Christ, Why? |
A30566 | Shall it be cast upon this now? |
A30566 | Sixthly, It is the end of thy Labor, what dost thou endeavor after? |
A30566 | Surely Christ hath a great deal of virtue in him, that the very touch did heal her, and therefore he saith, who hath touched me? |
A30566 | That God should not spare his only begotten son the Lord Jesus Christ, he wil not spare him, but thee? |
A30566 | That ever were in this Restless condition? |
A30566 | That is the reason that many upon their death beds lie Ro ● ring and Crying out so bitterly for their sins; and why? |
A30566 | That there is no unworthiness of any sinner, be he what he will be, before this invitation, that is sufficient to hinder, Why? |
A30566 | That they are in a Restless condition? |
A30566 | That which I have committed to him, what is that? |
A30566 | Their means perhaps is not more, their outward means, their parts in Nature is not more, whence grows it then? |
A30566 | There are many poor troubled souls, whose consciences pul them on to duty, but why do they performe them? |
A30566 | There are many souls that would come to Christ, why? |
A30566 | Therefore 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? |
A30566 | Thirdly, 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? |
A30566 | This 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? |
A30566 | This is the condition of al that are under the covenant of works; and is not this a load? |
A30566 | To exercise faith upon Christ as poor, doth help to give ease and rest unto the soul, under the burden of the affliction of poverty? |
A30566 | Upon their sick beds, and death beds, then men are burdened with Sin, and why? |
A30566 | We 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? |
A30566 | What a strange expression is this of a godly man? |
A30566 | What an infinite grace of God is this? |
A30566 | What did Christ say in the very verse before? |
A30566 | What discoveries of Gods waies hast thou had, to draw thy heart to Christ? |
A30566 | What do I know to the contrary? |
A30566 | What do you account precious? |
A30566 | What dost thou fear in regard of thy sins? |
A30566 | What doth he mean by the Law of sin and death? |
A30566 | What ease hath she, Why? |
A30566 | What expressions are here for a godly man? |
A30566 | What is Jesus Christ that doth cal you to come to him? |
A30566 | What is it that unites thee to Christ? |
A30566 | What is it to come and enter into our Chamber? |
A30566 | What is the Reason that people hurry up and down in seeking after the things of this world? |
A30566 | What is the happiness of heaven, but for the Saints and Angels to be exercised in magnifying the riches of God, and of Christ? |
A30566 | What is the reason of this? |
A30566 | What must the law stand in force then? |
A30566 | What need then such a man or woman have any trouble in this world? |
A30566 | What reference have I to God? |
A30566 | What shal we say then? |
A30566 | What should be the meaning of this? |
A30566 | What was the Image that God made man in at the first? |
A30566 | What were you able to answer? |
A30566 | What wil disquiet one? |
A30566 | Who are they that are in Christ and delivered from condemnation? |
A30566 | Why can not I go to Christ? |
A30566 | Why what restless Condition are we in, you might have said? |
A30566 | Wilt thou seek thy rest in that which hangs upon nothing? |
A30566 | Wilt thou yet go on in thy sins? |
A30566 | Wilt thou yet prize thy lusts, before al that infinite good that is in Jesus Christ? |
A30566 | Would not this burden the Soul? |
A30566 | Would there not be a great deal of calme, quiet, and rest upon your spirits? |
A30566 | Would they not have men civil? |
A30566 | Would you have Mercy? |
A30566 | Would you know whence? |
A30566 | Would you know why, and how it comes to pass, that None that are out of Christ can have Rest unto their soules? |
A30566 | Wretched Man and Woman that I am, who shal deliver me? |
A30566 | Wretched Man that I am who shal deliver me from this Body of Death, Why? |
A30566 | Wretched man, or Woman that I am, who shal deliver me from this Body of Death? |
A30566 | You 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? |
A30566 | You have sinned against the Lord, and you are troubled, what shal we do? |
A30566 | You know in time of danger, when any come and rap at the dore, wil you open the dore presently? |
A30566 | You 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? |
A30566 | You wil say, How is the Law a bondage unto those that are Godly, being the law of God? |
A30566 | You wil say, Why then hath not al their stony hearts been taken from them because the promise is absolute? |
A30566 | You wil say, can a man make too much hast to get assurance of Gods Love in Christ? |
A30566 | You wil say, doth not God sometimes chastise his people for their sins? |
A30566 | You wil say, it comes from Love, therefore God chastiseth not for sin, No? |
A30566 | You wil say, what is there that can be higher than what we are inabled to do by God? |
A30566 | You will say what is more? |
A30566 | You will say what is that for Christ to reach forth his hand, and invite that way? |
A30566 | You will say what should we do then? |
A30566 | You 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? |
A30566 | You will say, How shall we know it is the voyce of Christ? |
A30566 | You will say, Shall that be such a Rest in performing of Holy Duties? |
A30566 | am I able to come to him? |
A30566 | and is it not a mercy that thou art not drowned in the sea? |
A30566 | and say, Men and bretheren, what shal we do to be saved? |
A30566 | and that we might sit in the ● himny corner and do nothing? |
A30566 | and therefore it is but trusting in Gods mercy; and do we not do as others do? |
A30566 | art thou so burdened with those inward corruptions in thy spirit, that the world can take no notice of? |
A30566 | blessed 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? |
A30566 | blessed 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? |
A30566 | but because the proper place of the fire is above: and that the Earth, and all heavy things fal downward? |
A30566 | can this man have rest, if he do but understand this? |
A30566 | can you rest now? |
A30566 | come and cast this burden upon me, I have born the wrath of God; Or is it the burden of the Law? |
A30566 | does 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? |
A30566 | dost not thou work for thy self in al thy waies? |
A30566 | dost thou think this wil be peace in the end? |
A30566 | forgive us our Sins? |
A30566 | hast thou not now a gracious offer? |
A30566 | have we met with any thing of Christ here? |
A30566 | have 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? |
A30566 | how is he beforehand with us? |
A30566 | if he called you to come to him for mercy, would you not come? |
A30566 | is God so hard to his Creature as to command that which he gives no ability to perform? |
A30566 | is it not the word of the Lord? |
A30566 | is the root of it Gods displeasure, Gods wrath, Gods hatred? |
A30566 | is the root of it the love of Christ to my soul? |
A30566 | no 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? |
A30566 | saith God, to his servants, have ye invited them to come in, and wil they not? |
A30566 | shal we continue in sin that grace may abound? |
A30566 | suppose we do endeauor to obey to the uttermost that we can? |
A30566 | that there might be peace between God and my soul, that I might have assurance of Gods Love? |
A30566 | that thou art brought to land, to heare one more offer to come to Christ? |
A30566 | the way of God is so hard, and duty so strict, to live so exactly, who is able to do this? |
A30566 | there is an affliction upon me, but what is the root of it? |
A30566 | thou wretched soul, is not that that thou hearest in the word the truth of God? |
A30566 | to be in debt, will not that disquiet one? |
A30566 | what course have you taken to get it? |
A30566 | what if the affliction comes to me for my sin, can I have rest then? |
A30566 | what is it that gives interest in Christ? |
A30566 | what is it that makes a member of Christ? |
A30566 | what is the rest of Christ? |
A30566 | what shal I do in this? |
A30566 | what wil this man do when he shal be called to account for al his time, for al his opportunity for al his estate? |
A30566 | what would Christ have you to do? |
A30566 | wil you say, such a man is gone to his rest, that is gone to sleep upon the top of a mast? |
A30566 | yes, certainly, one that is once come to Christ, wil not go from him again, why? |
A30566 | you 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? |
A77988 | 1. what wearinesse is there? |
A77988 | 10 When thou comest before God, Consider that thou comest to a mercifull God: And what should this work? |
A77988 | 18. the Lord is nigh unto all, to all that call upon him in truth; you will say what is the meaning of that? |
A77988 | 21. there the Apostle speaking of the Heathens; he doth rebuke them; For what? |
A77988 | 3 Thou mayest know it by this, wherein doest thou account the excellency of a duty to consist, either in thy self or others? |
A77988 | 3 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? |
A77988 | 4 Consider, If thou doest not beleeve, what a case art thou in? |
A77988 | 5. we find that Solomon when he was preparing for the Temple, he would build a great Temple, why? |
A77988 | 6. know you not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? |
A77988 | Am I worse then the Devils themselves? |
A77988 | And 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? |
A77988 | And is God a holy God? |
A77988 | And is it but this? |
A77988 | And is not this a dreadfull thing then, to be guilty of not sanctifying of Gods Name? |
A77988 | And then faith is as the mouth; when thou commest to eat and drinke, how canst thou if thou hast not a mouth? |
A77988 | And then what safety is there in being neer to God, especially in these dangerous times? |
A77988 | And this can not be Schisme thus to do; as now is this Schisme? |
A77988 | And what do you do when you Worship God? |
A77988 | As if Moses should have said, Why do you contend for any more honour, the Lord hath separated you to bring you neer to himsef? |
A77988 | As if Moses should say in Gods name, Why, I must have glory from the people, and how? |
A77988 | Because God is an Eternal God? |
A77988 | Bring strange fire into Gods service, What''s that? |
A77988 | But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, The good Lord pardon every one, what every one? |
A77988 | But I have so many sins mixt with my prayers, how can I beleeve? |
A77988 | But had God ever forbidden it? |
A77988 | But hath God appointed that the great ordinance for the converting and the edifying of soules in the way to eternal life? |
A77988 | But 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? |
A77988 | But now when we find not that coming in that we do desire, we begin to be weary of worship; and say, Why have we fasted, and thou seest it not? |
A77988 | But what is meant by an honest heart? |
A77988 | But what saith it? |
A77988 | But where do we find that God spake this? |
A77988 | But 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? |
A77988 | But you will say, May not an unregenerate man Pray? |
A77988 | But you will say, is it not better for it to be given into every ones hand? |
A77988 | Can not we sit at home and read a Sermon? |
A77988 | Can there be too much to make thee happy? |
A77988 | Christ would have all his people look to the edification of their soules; and should I account that Schisme? |
A77988 | Dare I venture my Soul and my eternal estate upon hopes that these things are not so bad as I hear? |
A77988 | Did Jesus Christ come into the world to that end for to cause thee to depart more from God? |
A77988 | Do you get nothing else but this by hearing Sermons? |
A77988 | Doe not we see that men will rather favour their owne kindred then strangers, though the offence be the same? |
A77988 | Doest thou say, Here''s a great deal? |
A77988 | Fourthly, It s a Sacrament of Communion with God, and Communion with the Saints; now what Communion hath Light and Darknesse? |
A77988 | From whence is it that thou art unfit but from the temptation of the Devil? |
A77988 | God he is the living God: What behaviour then doth beseeme me towards this living God? |
A77988 | Have you done thus when you have come to receive the Sacrament? |
A77988 | Hear( saith the holy Ghost there) for the time to come? |
A77988 | How comes it to passe that these are Apostatised thus from God? |
A77988 | How hath God glorified himselfe? |
A77988 | How is that? |
A77988 | How many live without God in the world, and do declare to all the world that they are not of God? |
A77988 | How terrible is the presence of God in his Ordinances then? |
A77988 | I am now going to God; for what? |
A77988 | I am to worship God, but how is my heart insnared and intangled in this and the other businesse? |
A77988 | I appeal to any gracious heart, what canst thou want of any of these, or what wouldest thou want? |
A77988 | I appeal to you, have you had that freedome in prayer, afterwards? |
A77988 | I beseech you now lay this text to your hearts do you prepare your hearts to seek God? |
A77988 | I beseech you observe it it is not enough that a thing is not forbidden, and what hurt is there in it? |
A77988 | I 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? |
A77988 | I 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? |
A77988 | I must Sanctifie Gods Name, and how can I do that, except my heart be Sanctified? |
A77988 | If it be appointed to nourish and increase grace, then surely there must be grace before; what nourishment can a dead child take? |
A77988 | If so be that thou sawest a knife that had cut the throat of thy dearest child, would not thy heart rise against that knife? |
A77988 | If thou prepare thine heart, and siretch out thine hand towards him: What then? |
A77988 | If you ask me wherein it differs? |
A77988 | If you do neglect duty in the morning upon any businesse, are you fitter to perform duty at night because of it? |
A77988 | If you had but the Invitations of the Spirit now that sometimes you have had, how happy were it for you? |
A77988 | In the Worship of God there be Two Questions that he will ask; First, Who required this at your hands? |
A77988 | Is it not a sweet thing to be in his presence? |
A77988 | Is not the Lord the fountain of thy life? |
A77988 | Is there a word presented? |
A77988 | Is this all? |
A77988 | It 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? |
A77988 | Let us draw neer( saith the Text) Who would not draw neer to God? |
A77988 | Mark how he speaks, But it is good for me: Why? |
A77988 | Mark 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? |
A77988 | Neer him, Why, in what respects may a man be said to draw nigh to God when he Worships him? |
A77988 | Now concerning that I le but propound these few particulars; You will say, Must we beleeve every thing that is spoken? |
A77988 | Now 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? |
A77988 | Now 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? |
A77988 | Now is the presence of God in the very faces of his Saints terrible to a guilty conscience? |
A77988 | Now what doth this call for? |
A77988 | Now when is there a time for the acting of our graces upon God so as when we come to worship God? |
A77988 | Now you will say, How doth God appear, that he doth not accept of them? |
A77988 | Now you will say, How should a beleever Sanctifie the Justice of God? |
A77988 | Oh fear and tremble lest your condition be such as to be nigh to cursing: Who knows what a day, a week may bring forth? |
A77988 | Oh now the good word of the Gospel how should we prize it, and keep it in our hearts? |
A77988 | One would have thought that these Preists offering Incense to the true God, what hurt was there in taking other Fire? |
A77988 | Or was the holinesse of the people of Israel such as God required them, that they must eate nothing that was torne by beasts? |
A77988 | Secondly suppose we do not find our hearts prepared as we do desire; whither it were better to leave off the duty then performe it? |
A77988 | Suppose it be one of your own family, will not you be ready to excuse them? |
A77988 | That is, That you should come to Worship him, is this a small thing to you? |
A77988 | That saith, Who shall ascend into heaven to know the mind of God concerning me? |
A77988 | The Cup of blessing which we blesse, is it not the Communion of the bloud of Christ? |
A77988 | The Cup of blessing which wee blesse, is it not the Communion of the blood of Christ? |
A77988 | The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Thou art separated from the world, to what end? |
A77988 | The Lord is 〈 ◊ 〉 out of his holy places: When we have to deal with God, who can stand before this holy God? |
A77988 | The Saints of God, the Children of Israel, the Church of God are said to be a people neer to God; Why neer him? |
A77988 | The bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ? |
A77988 | The first is, whither we ought at all times to set apart some time for preparation to every duty of Gods Worship? |
A77988 | The 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? |
A77988 | Their parts act much before others, but what is there between God and their own Souls? |
A77988 | Then what suitable behaviour doth become me? |
A77988 | There were three thousand in one day that did gladly receive the word; What an auditory had Peter at this time? |
A77988 | They were carefull to offer their fattest beasts in their peace offerings, and will not God regard them? |
A77988 | Thinkest thou this O man that judgest them that do such things,& doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgement of God? |
A77988 | This day if you should hear a voice out of the clouds from heaven speaking to you, would you not then listen? |
A77988 | This you will say was spoken to the Priests? |
A77988 | Thou rejectest the word, doest thou? |
A77988 | To examine our selves of what? |
A77988 | We know how it was with Adam, when God appeared in the garden and called to him, he ran to hide himself; Why? |
A77988 | Were they not struck with such fear that they thought they should die? |
A77988 | What Nation is there so great as you are? |
A77988 | What did Mary choose? |
A77988 | What 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? |
A77988 | What doth a Father more delight in then to have his Children about him? |
A77988 | What if I were now going to receive the sentence of my eternall doome; would I not then beleeve these things? |
A77988 | What if wee doe not sanctifie Gods name in this duty? |
A77988 | What is it then? |
A77988 | What should a Child love most but to be in the presence of his Father? |
A77988 | What then is the holinesse of the infinite God? |
A77988 | What was their Sinne? |
A77988 | What would make you to attend to any thing? |
A77988 | What''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? |
A77988 | What''s the reason why we wander so as we do? |
A77988 | When every toye, every feather, every light matter cals them off; Is this to Sanctifie Gods Name? |
A77988 | When thou comest to perform holy duties thou art troubled, will the Lord have regard to such a duty as this is? |
A77988 | Whether it be from the generall Bounty and Patience of God, or from the speciall ● oue of God in Jesus Christ? |
A77988 | Who shall go down into the deep? |
A77988 | Who shall go down to Hell to know there, whether that place be prepared for him or not? |
A77988 | Why canst thou make good the former and appeal to God that indeed it was thy care to make preparation? |
A77988 | Why is not God in every place? |
A77988 | Why, did they not fear the Lord? |
A77988 | Why? |
A77988 | Why? |
A77988 | Why? |
A77988 | Would I not then think what I hear out of the word to be true? |
A77988 | Would you know whither you have received the Spirit of adoption yea or no? |
A77988 | Yes; what then? |
A77988 | You may ask me this Question, How may I know that I am acted by self ends in holy duties? |
A77988 | You say that you would fain withstand and not be overcome with temptations? |
A77988 | You will say if a man have businesse in the world how can this be? |
A77988 | You will say, Are we bound to spend sometime every time we go to prayer before hand, or every time we come to the Word? |
A77988 | You will say, Can any thing that is good come from the Devil? |
A77988 | You 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? |
A77988 | You will say, God is an Infinite Glorious God? |
A77988 | You will say, Here is a great deal of doe in serving of God, how much is here that we must do? |
A77988 | You will say, If God understand a mans heart, what need he come and confesse? |
A77988 | You will say, Must we plow up our hearts before we come to hear? |
A77988 | You will say, Why may not any time be said to be holy that I spend in holy duties? |
A77988 | You will say, must it be received in a communion of Saints? |
A77988 | You will say, shall we be the worse for one wicked mans coming? |
A77988 | and drunkennesse? |
A77988 | and other wickednesse afterwards? |
A77988 | and then mark how it is doubled, To me? |
A77988 | but then may a poor Soul say, how shall I be able to stand before this God that is so glorious? |
A77988 | canst thou say this in the uprightnesse of thy heart? |
A77988 | doe not wee finde in Scripture that the Church had alwayes wicked men among them? |
A77988 | even unto me? |
A77988 | even unto me? |
A77988 | for I am a great King saith the Lord, and therefore cursed is he that doth not offer a Sacrifice suitable to my Greatnesse? |
A77988 | hath hee body and bloud and humane nature upon him? |
A77988 | have you actually renewed your Covenant with God? |
A77988 | how? |
A77988 | is not Gods name prophaned here? |
A77988 | is not this honour enough? |
A77988 | it was from hence, because he was so nigh to God: would you have your faces to shine in a holy conversation before men? |
A77988 | it 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? |
A77988 | oh how hath God honoured humane nature? |
A77988 | shall I give any occasion that this word of the Lord should be spoken ill of by reason of me? |
A77988 | sometimes there are some things spoken that we can not tell how to beleeve? |
A77988 | that 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? |
A77988 | that you abuse your body with uncleannesse? |
A77988 | the bread which wee break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ? |
A77988 | they have built a glorious Temple to God, but what do I regard that saith God? |
A77988 | we 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? |
A77988 | were the word true yea or no? |
A77988 | what friends would you make to take him off from punishment? |
A77988 | what if wicked men doe come there? |
A77988 | what''s the reason then that you sinne so much with your bodies? |
A77988 | when the Lord in the preaching of his word did reveale Jesus Christ to thy soule, what didst thou then oh soule? |
A77988 | when you go to prayer can you say that you take paines in preparing your hearts for it? |
A77988 | where doe wee find that ever God had forbidden them to offer strange Fire, or appointed that they should offer onely one kind of fire? |
A77988 | whether he will accept of me, and of that obedience and worship that I tender up to him? |
A77988 | will not this hinder the spiritualnesse of my heart in Communion with God in prayer, when I come home at night? |
A77988 | will that hinder us from sanctifying Gods name in partaking of the Sacrament with them? |
A77988 | would you give beleif unto the suggestions of the Devill then? |
A77988 | you that have taken the body of Christ, have you given up your body to Christ? |
A30582 | 31.33, 34 there God promises to put his law into our inward parts: But what''s the ground of it? |
A30582 | 33. 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? |
A30582 | 5. what follows? |
A30582 | 5. when she was asked; What is thy beloved? |
A30582 | And 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? |
A30582 | And shall my creatures seek after it for no other end, nor higher aims, but meerly to save their own skins? |
A30582 | And thus the pardons of God differ from all other pardons; a Prince pardons a Malefactor, or a Father a Child: but upon what terms? |
A30582 | And what is a better instruction than to tell man the way of the pardon and forgiveness of sin? |
A30582 | And yet David committed murder and adultery, and was not cast off; why? |
A30582 | Are thy ways such, that Gods dealings with thee are as if thou wer''t a servant, and a home- born slave? |
A30582 | As St. Paul says, the blessedness you spake of, Where is it? |
A30582 | BUt if it be asked, Who are they that have their sins pardoned? |
A30582 | Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits; Why? |
A30582 | But may not a pardoned man have these fears, or somewhat of the nature of them resting on his spirit after he is pardoned? |
A30582 | But 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? |
A30582 | But who are they that dishonour this great work of God? |
A30582 | But you will say, Who are they? |
A30582 | Can you look for that blessed hope with comfort, and expect the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ? |
A30582 | Can you say, my life is so, though I have many weaknesses, yet I hope something of the glory of God appears in me? |
A30582 | Collect your selves, and say, Why do I determine of my everlasting condition? |
A30582 | Conscience speak freely and fully: What is there in Heaven against me? |
A30582 | Consider and call to remembrance what the dayes of old were? |
A30582 | Could he not have forgiven him by his absolute Prerogative? |
A30582 | Did 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? |
A30582 | Do you find sin now a burden to your souls? |
A30582 | Do you live and walk as one that hath the Kingdom of Christ within you? |
A30582 | Does not thy sin hinder Gods grace to thee; and shall trouble and affliction hinder thy glorifying God? |
A30582 | Does thy heart work thus? |
A30582 | Does your vain thoughts still abide with you as they were wo nt to do? |
A30582 | Dost thou not watch over my sin? |
A30582 | Further, Thou saist God is merciful, and thererefore thou hop''st for pardon: Why? |
A30582 | Further, Thou speakest of mercy; hast not thou abused and turn''d mercy into wantonness? |
A30582 | God is more delighted in the work of thy heart closing with free grace, than in all the legal works of humiliation; what says Christ? |
A30582 | God is speaking there to his own people: Is Israel a servant? |
A30582 | God speaks it with pity, Israel is my dear Son; How comes it to pass that he is as a home- born slave? |
A30582 | Hast not thou the Conscience, and the rather upon the knowledge of this, to keep Gods Commandements? |
A30582 | Hast thou not turn''d the grace of God into wantonness, and abused it, when thou heardest that God was merciful? |
A30582 | Hast thou took liberty to sin? |
A30582 | Hath God forgiven thee? |
A30582 | Hath God ingaged himself to you by his Word, to be your God? |
A30582 | Have I to deal with God in the Covenant of grace, and can not these imperfections stand with it? |
A30582 | Have you heard the voyce of gladness speaking in your hearts, saying, Son, or Daughter be of good chear, go in peace, thy sins are pardoned? |
A30582 | Have you look''t on Christ as a mighty Mediator, as one able to save you? |
A30582 | Have you not heard this? |
A30582 | Have your hearts been taken with the great mysteries of godliness, and wrought upon by the infinite grace of God? |
A30582 | Having spoken of these general things, I come now more garticularly to the other part of the Question, What is to be done? |
A30582 | He is near that justifies me, who will contend with me? |
A30582 | How comes it to pass that your hearts are so taken off from the esteem you then had of it? |
A30582 | How does matters stand betwixt God and thee? |
A30582 | How few of you now this morning that are come into the presence of God, have had your thoughts working thus? |
A30582 | How in former times it was with you, when you were seeking the pardoning grace of God? |
A30582 | How is it between God and me? |
A30582 | How readily will they say, with the Prophet, How beautiful are the feet of those that bring( such) good tidings? |
A30582 | How 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? |
A30582 | How would the damned spirits sing and rejoyce, and look about them to attend this message? |
A30582 | I 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? |
A30582 | I verily fear that many of you that hear me this day, if we could but hear Conscience speak, would answer, What? |
A30582 | I will not again curse the Ground any more for mans sake; why? |
A30582 | I, but the Scripture says, God imputes faith for righteousness; and when God inables us to believe, Is it not our own? |
A30582 | If 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? |
A30582 | If it have been thus with your spirits? |
A30582 | If 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? |
A30582 | If this be to dishonour the pardoning grace of God; what would you have us to do? |
A30582 | Is Christ as King and Soveraign over your thoughts, words and actions? |
A30582 | Is he a home- born slave? |
A30582 | Is he a home- born slave? |
A30582 | Is it not the greatest affliction? |
A30582 | Is there any thing upon Record that I am charg''d withal? |
A30582 | Is this the frame of thy heart, to be careful above all things in the world, that thou mightest not dishonour this precious grace? |
A30582 | It 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? |
A30582 | It''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? |
A30582 | Lord 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? |
A30582 | May it not be said of you, Where is the sence of the Evil of Sin you spake of? |
A30582 | May not they say, that though they do sin, yet there is a Pardon laid in before hand for them? |
A30582 | Ministers of the Word are Ministers of Reconciliation that God hath given to his People: what is that? |
A30582 | No more now, what sin will have me to do? |
A30582 | No, now I see the ways of Life and Salvation are the only blessed ways; Now Lord, What would''st thou have me to do? |
A30582 | Now this you are to examine your hearts upon; What of the Kingdom of Christ you have within you? |
A30582 | Now what shall we say to those things? |
A30582 | O my soul how is it with thee? |
A30582 | Of righteousness: What is that? |
A30582 | PArdon of Sin makes a m ● ● blessed; Why? |
A30582 | Quest Well, but what would you have us to do? |
A30582 | Secondly, Others say, I am not only sorry for my sins, but I reform; and is not this a ground of pardon? |
A30582 | Shall Christ say, notwithstanding all my sorrows, let thy sin be pardoned, and I have enough? |
A30582 | Shall I go on then to add sin unto sin to make the work greater? |
A30582 | Shall I satisfie any base lust, with the neglect of him? |
A30582 | Shall I venture upon it? |
A30582 | Shall he say, there would be better Auditors in Hell than are here? |
A30582 | Shall not I be content to leave any thing to serve him? |
A30582 | Should we again break thy Commandements? |
A30582 | Sin shall not have dominion over you; why? |
A30582 | Suppose 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? |
A30582 | The Sacraments, for what purpose hath Christ ordained them? |
A30582 | This should be a mighty ingagement upon thy spirit; Has God made thee equal to them in Justification? |
A30582 | Thou that takest liberty on this ground to blaspheme the Name of God; What thinkest thou will become of thee another day? |
A30582 | To wind up all, those that know what pardon of sin is; how do they spend their time, and lay out themselves to get assurance? |
A30582 | Turn from all sin and keep all Gods Statutes then, or, How can you do that is lawful and right then? |
A30582 | Well, now you would have mercy, Why now, and not before? |
A30582 | What Evils have you reformed in your families, and in your own hearts? |
A30582 | What acclamations would there be in Hell in the mid''st of those fiery flames? |
A30582 | What do you mean by that, how shall we know whether we be called or no? |
A30582 | What glory of God is come into your hearts, and appears in your lives and conversations? |
A30582 | What guilt is it thou hast upon thy Spirit? |
A30582 | What hast thou to do in the way of Egypt? |
A30582 | What hath Divine Justice to charge thee withal? |
A30582 | What holding up of hands and rejoycing would there be to hear of such a thing, that there is a possibility on any terms? |
A30582 | What if he will pardon the most notorious gross sins in others, and damn thee for thy sins in thoughts? |
A30582 | What is become of all that strength and power the Doctrine of Remission of Sin had upon your hearts? |
A30582 | What is become of it? |
A30582 | What is the end for which Christ hath set up this great Ordinance? |
A30582 | What is the end of thy way like to be? |
A30582 | What is the glory of a justified soul? |
A30582 | What is the matter? |
A30582 | What is the travel of Christs soul? |
A30582 | What 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? |
A30582 | What shall I magnifie the riches of my grace so wonderfully in this work of my pardoning mercy? |
A30582 | What shall we say then, Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
A30582 | What''s the meaning of this blessedness? |
A30582 | What, have you not a mightier Argument to draw your hearts to God, after he hath spoke peace, than ever you had before? |
A30582 | What, is Gods grace so free? |
A30582 | What, is he a servant, and brought into such a condition as a servant or a slave? |
A30582 | What, 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? |
A30582 | What? |
A30582 | When he gives quietness, who can give trouble? |
A30582 | Where is it? |
A30582 | Where is that bitterness upon your hearts, on the convictions you had of the evil of sin? |
A30582 | Where is that filial ingenious spirit of thine, that God is fain to deal with thee as now he doth? |
A30582 | Where is then the blessedness you spake of? |
A30582 | Wherefore then served the Law? |
A30582 | Whither art thou a going? |
A30582 | Who is a God like to thee; who in all the world can pardon sin as God doth? |
A30582 | Who is a God like unto thee that pardoneth iniquity and passeth by the transgressions of the remnant of his heritage? |
A30582 | Why do I make such conclusions that my state is naught, because of the stirrings of such and such corruptions? |
A30582 | Why? |
A30582 | Why? |
A30582 | Why? |
A30582 | Why? |
A30582 | Will not this be presumption for a sinner thus to lay hold on Christ? |
A30582 | Wilt not thou now say; and let me have Christ and I have enough? |
A30582 | Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, my Father, thou art the guide of my youth? |
A30582 | Would you have us go on to believe and doubt no more? |
A30582 | You will say, How must we seek it? |
A30582 | all thou hast now is not a good, is not a mercy; and dost thou think to get good by the increase of sin? |
A30582 | an excellent place, The Word of God is quick and powerful; but what word is it? |
A30582 | and dost thou still go on to heap up more and more sin, as if the pardon of thy sin was nothing? |
A30582 | and shall I strike this Blasphemer says another? |
A30582 | and what is to be done? |
A30582 | and what this and that; and the other lust will have me to do? |
A30582 | and when he hides his face, who then can behold him? |
A30582 | as if he had said, Lord, how does thy glory appear in the Justification of a sinner, and pardoning his sin through Jesus Christ? |
A30582 | before you had other things, and you quieted your hearts with them; and why not now, were not they mercies? |
A30582 | certainly, the soul that is pardoned, can not but answer God so far as this; Will God justifie me notwithstanding my sin? |
A30582 | does my heart work so in it as that I can satisfie my own Conscience in the work I do? |
A30582 | for, 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? |
A30582 | he answered, Lord thou knowest I love thee; Christ puts it to him again; Lovest thou me? |
A30582 | he does not grant it, but reject it with a horrible indignation, God forbid, What? |
A30582 | he gave him this answer, says he, I can not live, and what shall I now think of Uncleanness and Fornication? |
A30582 | he 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? |
A30582 | he would not take his first answer, but puts it to him the second and third time, Lovest thou me? |
A30582 | how should''st thou labour to be like to them in Sanctification? |
A30582 | if it be so with thee? |
A30582 | let us stand together: Who is my Adversary? |
A30582 | or how many wayes may we be guilty in sinning against this great mercy of God in forgiveness of sin? |
A30582 | or, 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? |
A30582 | perhaps 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? |
A30582 | says Paul, Where is the blessedness you spake of? |
A30582 | says you, first we give our word one to another, says God you shall have that, I give you my Word; What have you else? |
A30582 | shall 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? |
A30582 | so 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? |
A30582 | so after God has delivered us from condemnation, the guilt of sin, and the spirit of bondage; What? |
A30582 | that 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? |
A30582 | that 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? |
A30582 | that 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? |
A30582 | the answer will be, What see I? |
A30582 | the more my beauty& excellency hath been displayed, the more wicked he hath grown; what if mercy be now pleading against thee? |
A30582 | the soul that hath true pardon of sin, hath fetch''t it from Heaven in a right way, in Gods own way; How is that? |
A30582 | the way to true happiness? |
A30582 | then you have acted faith in a Gospel way, and your sins are pardoned: Again, Are you pardoned? |
A30582 | this is the good will and pleasure of God; and David was called a man after Gods own heart; Why? |
A30582 | thou think''st it now a fit time to cry for mercy; why? |
A30582 | thou think''st it to be a good; Why? |
A30582 | to make use of the grace of God to further sin; Shall we stand to answer these men, in the horrible reasoning of their hearts? |
A30582 | to sin that grace may abound, God forbid: What? |
A30582 | we read of one came running after Christ, saying, What shall I do to be saved? |
A30582 | what God hath to charge them withal? |
A30582 | what if he will pardon the most notorious uncleanness and murder in another, and damn thee for a wanton thought? |
A30582 | what shall I do? |
A30582 | what shall wandring and discouraging thoughts bring you to look down all the day? |
A30582 | what shall we say to these things? |
A30582 | what would they do? |
A30582 | when God gives quietness, as he doth in forgiveness of sin, then who can make trouble? |
A30582 | when we tell them of their sins, they say, they hope to repent; What do they mean? |
A30582 | whether God hath any thing against them, yea or no? |
A30582 | why God should not declare against thee according to his Law? |
A30582 | with 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? |
A30598 | 1 How below the relation of a Christian? |
A30598 | 6. what is the Arms of a Christian? |
A30598 | A contented man is a self- sufficient man, what is the great glory of God but to be happy and self- sufficient in himself? |
A30598 | A further consiadertion is this, The creatures do suffer for us, why should not we be willing to suffer, to be servicable to God? |
A30598 | A 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? |
A30598 | A second answer I would give is this, Is it unexpected? |
A30598 | A speech of Job to his wife, what saith Job when his wife would have had him curse God and die? |
A30598 | Am not I better to thee than ten sons? |
A30598 | Am not I to thee( saith Elkanah to Hannah) instead of ten Children? |
A30598 | And how long shall I bear with them? |
A30598 | And now hath God given to you the Contentment of your hearts? |
A30598 | And so a Christian should reason the case with himself, what am I discontented for? |
A30598 | And so again, Am I disgraced, dishonoured, is my good- name taken away? |
A30598 | And the people of Israel in their other Captivity, there were mountains before them; what straights did God put them into? |
A30598 | And then doth he want honour? |
A30598 | And what was it that God would do unto them? |
A30598 | And why art thou disquieted within me? |
A30598 | And 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? |
A30598 | And your labour for that which satisfieth not? |
A30598 | As now a Scholer that hath great learning and understanding in Arts and Sciences, how did he begin it? |
A30598 | Because God is gone wilt thou go too? |
A30598 | Because he is going away; so let us not be troubled when we see othar men have great estates, but we have not, why? |
A30598 | But again, Is God about to humble me? |
A30598 | But hath Paul a self- sufficiency you will say? |
A30598 | But my people would not hearken to my voice, and Israel would none of me[ what then?] |
A30598 | But then, what is this quietnesse of spirit opposed unto? |
A30598 | But what comfort is this if it doth befal me? |
A30598 | But 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? |
A30598 | But where is the power of God, the glorious power of God? |
A30598 | But 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? |
A30598 | But you will say now, hath faith warant to beleeve deliverance, that it shall be fully delivered? |
A30598 | But you will say, In time of danger may we not fly? |
A30598 | But 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? |
A30598 | But you will say, What do you understand by Gods waies? |
A30598 | But you will say, What good then is there in such a promise that God makes to his people? |
A30598 | But( might other Levites say) how hath God prefer''d this family before us? |
A30598 | But( saith Sineus) when we have all in our hands, what shall we do in the end? |
A30598 | By faith we understand that the worlds were made, by faith we understand it: why by faith? |
A30598 | Can''st thou help thy self that way? |
A30598 | Cut them not off, why? |
A30598 | David did fly from Absolom, and yet what confidence had David( in that case) in God? |
A30598 | Did''st thou take pains with resolution, that thou must have such a thing when thou labourest for it? |
A30598 | Do I indeed feel God departing from me? |
A30598 | Do''st thou think it such a weak thing that because it doth not please thee it must alter it''s course? |
A30598 | Dost thou murmur because once thou wert better? |
A30598 | Doth God give us gifts and parts? |
A30598 | First, The relation thou standest in to God: Do''st not thou call God thy father? |
A30598 | For first, Is thy eye evil because God hath been good to thee heretofore? |
A30598 | From whence are wars, and strifs, are they not from your lusts that are within you? |
A30598 | God gives me an opportunitie in this to honour him in this affliction more than other men? |
A30598 | God hath given you those good things that makes Angels glorious, is not that enough to you, though you want what thing a fly hath? |
A30598 | God here threatens to bring his curse so upon them, as to make them a wonder and a sign to others, why? |
A30598 | How are we sufficient of our selves? |
A30598 | How is that you will say? |
A30598 | How long shall I bear with this evill Congregation which murmur against me? |
A30598 | How long wilt thou go about? |
A30598 | How many reckon you him for, that is the Captain of all our Hosts: Have not prayers been sent up to God? |
A30598 | I am discontented, and would fain have such a thing, and afterwards I have it: now doth this prepare me to be contented in other things? |
A30598 | I am now in a murmuring discontented way, but how did I feel my soul working when God did turn my Soul to himself? |
A30598 | I commit further sin and so I go further off from God, what a case am I in? |
A30598 | I 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? |
A30598 | I have learn''d to be Contented; Learn''d, what lessons have you lern''d? |
A30598 | I remember Austin hath such an expression, What is this thy faith? |
A30598 | I should prepare for poverty, have I health now? |
A30598 | I should prepare for sickness, have I liberty? |
A30598 | If God be in a way of mercy, why deals he thus with us? |
A30598 | If God should anihilate me what loss would there be of me? |
A30598 | If 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? |
A30598 | If you your selves were content with the world without grace, there''s reason you should be content with grace without the world? |
A30598 | In general you would submit to any thing: but what if it be in this and that particular, that is most crosse to you? |
A30598 | In the house of the Righteous is much Treasure, his house, what house? |
A30598 | In this manner, art thou afflicted, and is there a great load and burden upon thee by reason of thy affliction? |
A30598 | Is God about to raise me, to comfort me? |
A30598 | Is it not Gods hand, and must thy will be regarded more than Gods? |
A30598 | Is it not almost all one, never to be in want, or never to be without Contentment? |
A30598 | Is it poverty that God strikes me withall? |
A30598 | Is not Gods Name engaged in all this businesse? |
A30598 | Is not there goodness enough there to cure thy discontentment? |
A30598 | It is said that Enoch, and Noah walked with God; walked with God, what''s that? |
A30598 | It may be it is so, it may be God for thy tryal is departed a little from thee, and is it so indeed? |

A77976 | Sinner, Man or woman doest thou know God, that infinite glorious eternal God, with whom thou hast to do? |
A77976 | So God will say, Why? |
A77976 | So a Blasphemer may be said to be guilty of all the blasphemies in the world; why? |
A77976 | So he saith concerning Shimei, Let me go over I pray thee, and take off his head; why should this dead Dog curse my Lord? |
A77976 | So may I say to anie wicked man or woman in the world that hath got by waies of sin; What hast thou sinned, and gotten possession? |
A77976 | So may I say unto those who have such woful guilt of sin upon them; What is thy strength the strength of stones, and thy flesh of brass? |
A77976 | So one Disease hath power to torment one way, and another, another way; whence hath any Disease power to torment? |
A77976 | So that it appears, he was in his power to possess him, but yet he did not; and what is the reason? |
A77976 | So when poor souls cry to heaven for Christ, God may say to the poor soul, Why? |
A77976 | So you dislike sin, and Oh you would not commit it; but this is the Question, Whether your dislike or hatred be Natural or Supernatural? |
A77976 | Some go to evil wicked company, and when they spend their times in drinking; Plead, Why? |
A77976 | Some sin or other, did you not strain your Conscience in that benefit you have got? |
A77976 | Such a secret lust thou livest in? |
A77976 | Suppose in your company, in the midst of your mirth, one takes a knife and stabs himself into the heart; would not this damp your joy? |
A77976 | That God must be Man? |
A77976 | That God must be manifested in the flesh? |
A77976 | That is wronged especiallie: Why? |
A77976 | The Mercie of God, doest thou think that shall plead for thee? |
A77976 | There are manie converted when they were old, and what would these give for to be delivered from the guilt of some sins committed when they were yong? |
A77976 | Therefore God in Scripture reasons the Case with his People, What are not my waies equal, are not your waies unequal? |
A77976 | Therefore if any soul shal go away and say, Wo to me what have I done? |
A77976 | Therefore let me abide here; tell me Oh Sinner what is it thou gettest in waies of sin that thou wilt dwel here? |
A77976 | Therfore this is a vain plea that men have, what kind of* Government must we have if this be taken away? |
A77976 | Think thus, suppose God should have no more glorie by all the world, than by me, to what end were the world made? |
A77976 | Thou abstainest from sin, what is the reason? |
A77976 | Was that then that was good made death to me? |
A77976 | Well, but was there no apparent wickednesse committed in your companie? |
A77976 | Well, but what is the reason of this Mysterie of godliness? |

A77976 | What is that worm that shall never dye? |
A77976 | What is the folly of yong people? |
A77976 | What is the reason men and women give up their souls to sin, to lasciviousness and wantonness with greediness? |

A77976 | What? |
A77976 | What? |
A77976 | What? |
A77976 | When Christ would humble Sauls heart, what doth he do? |
A77976 | When men have got any thing in possession, they usually reckon, I but, what did this cost me? |
A77976 | Wherefore yet let me labor with your souls; who knows whether anie of you shall hear me preach anie one Sermon more? |
A77976 | Who art thou Lord? |
A77976 | Who be these that ventured their lives? |

A77976 | Who is there but is guilty of resisting the motions of the Holy Ghost? |
A77976 | Who would acknowledg in the way of sin they despise God? |
A77976 | Why abodest thou among the Sheep- folds to hear the bleatings of the ● locks? |
A77976 | Why can not man be saved by any Savior but such a one as must be verily and truly God and man? |

A77976 | Why? |
A77976 | Why? |
A77976 | Why? |
A77976 | Will you venture to commit sin for a groat or six pence, if there be so much opposition against God in it? |
A77976 | Wilt thou break thy bounds in sinful waies to get out of affliction? |
A77976 | Would you fain break your hearts for sin? |
A77976 | Yea, now will God say here is somewhat done, when sinners cries come up to heaven; what hath been doing in this Congregation? |

A77976 | You will say, How can the delivering up to Santan be for the saving of the soul? |
A77976 | and dost thou not account more the hazard of thy own soul? |
A77976 | and how miserable is their condition, in that regard; who have given up themselves to follow Sin with greediness? |
A77976 | and is this my way? |
A77976 | and it should be answered every one of them murthered himself; were it not an object of pity? |
A77976 | and my flesh of Brass? |
A77976 | and not to keep his Commandements, but goest on in waies of sin? |
A77976 | and so much ado? |
A77976 | and such a womans Womb? |
A77976 | and the soul of thy brother? |

A77976 | and what hurt hath God done to thee that thou shouldest be so malicious against him? |
A77976 | and what if I were now to stand before God? |
A77976 | and whether am I a going? |
A77976 | and who is there almost but makes the mercy of God in some degree or other Serviceable to his lusts? |
A77976 | and yet how ordinarie is this in the world? |
A77976 | and yet will he have such thoughts of mercy, as to send his own Son to make up that wrong, and satisfie for the evil I have done? |

A77976 | are you not more greedy upon Sin than before? |
A77976 | art thou happie in the enjoyment of this? |
A77976 | as if he had said, Lord, I did not think I had to deal with thee, who art thou Lord? |
A77976 | because poison is sweet, and comes to be suitable because of the sweetnesse? |

A77976 | in one sin? |
A77976 | is it anie way likelie and probable, but that I must follow, when as they be there for the sins I brought them to? |
A77976 | is it not that height of wickedness that I speak of? |
A77976 | is it only to eat and drink, and the like? |
A77976 | is not God a merciful God? |
A77976 | is not God infinitely worthy of all glory and honor in the world? |
A77976 | is one spark of the wrath of God upon the soul so terrible? |
A77976 | is that from grace? |

A30579 | A follower of Christ? |
A30579 | A friend to the Gospel? |
A30579 | A vile person shall arise: What is this vile person? |
A30579 | Ambrose hath such a speech upon the place, If the man had the soul of a swine, what could be said otherwise? |
A30579 | And another thing that is very considerable, What is God so set upon the glory of his Justice in the Gospel? |

A30579 | And are thy services forc''d, that thou art compel''d? |
A30579 | And are you troubled that you have no more of that that beasts may have as well as your selves? |
A30579 | And do I see Learned and Godly men of another judgment? |

A30579 | Art thou hypocritical in thy service? |
A30579 | As Judas,( not Iscariot) said, How is it that thou revealest thy self to us, and not unto the world? |
A30579 | As if Christ should say, What, hath God brought the light of the Gospel to you? |
A30579 | As 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? |
A30579 | As the Saints of God and all the Churches of God that knew him, they highly commended him, Why? |
A30579 | Be all damn''d that do not this? |
A30579 | Because Christ hath satisfied the Lawfully, and how can God require it in them? |
A30579 | Because 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? |

A30579 | Can I be able to find any fault with them in their lives and Conversations? |
A30579 | Can not a man be saved unless he do it? |

A30579 | Canst thou say as in the presence of God, that thy Conversation is answerable? |
A30579 | Canst thou think that thou that art a means to send so many to Hell, that thou shalt not go thither thy self? |
A30579 | Christ hath satisfied that: Hath Christ satisfied that? |
A30579 | Demas( saith Paul) hath forsaken me, but what is it that hath made Demas to forsake me? |
A30579 | Did not our forefathers know of life and immortality before? |

A30579 | For 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? |
A30579 | For the grace of God( saith he, that''s the Gospel) that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men:( What doth it teach us?) |
A30579 | Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold: from what? |
A30579 | Fourthly, These things that are here, they are the only sutable things to your hearts, and what will you do with any more hereafter? |

A30579 | Hath God let you live under this Gospel, that you hear it it your ears? |
A30579 | Have we the hopes and promises of such an inheritance in Heaven? |
A30579 | Hence then, Cast away al sin as an abominable thing from you; What have I to do any more with Idols? |
A30579 | Here is a great and a sore cross, you think, how shall I endure that? |
A30579 | Here is their portion, it is confin''d to this life; Why so? |
A30579 | How comes life and immortality to be brought to light through the Gospel? |
A30579 | How did God manifest his love? |
A30579 | How do the loss of the things of the world take thy heart? |
A30579 | How high are they raised above other men? |
A30579 | I am not excluded no more than others? |
A30579 | I appeal to your consciences, Do not your consciences in hearing these things condemn you? |
A30579 | I appeal to your consciences, Do you live so, as the glory of Christ shines in you in the course of your lives? |
A30579 | I beseech you observe this text, Christ gave Himself to deliver us from our sins, that we might not perish eternally: And was that all? |
A30579 | I but you will say, That is in Heaven? |
A30579 | I 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? |
A30579 | I hear indeed there are some men are put off so, what if it should prove to be my portion? |
A30579 | I stand not so much upon that term, Whether as given by Moses? |
A30579 | IN the sixt place, Would you know what Conversation becomes the Gospel? |
A30579 | If 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? |
A30579 | If this be a Conversation becoming the Gospel, O Lord, how far are we from honoring the Gospel in our lives? |
A30579 | If you ask me why it is that God the Father would not have His Son to have his kingdom in this world? |
A30579 | Is it meerly conscience compels thee, and not an inward agreeableness between the frame of thy heart, and holy things? |
A30579 | Is it not in a way wherein the dreadfullest Justice of God appears too? |
A30579 | Is it so that wicked men have a portion here, and here is all? |
A30579 | Is it such an excellent portion that they are so greedy of it? |
A30579 | Is it worth so much, that they contend so much about it? |
A30579 | Is not the grace of God let out to you through the blood of his Son? |
A30579 | Is there any that can stand before the Son of Man in glory? |
A30579 | Is there no Conversation that your consciences tell you would please God better, than that Conversation which you live in? |
A30579 | Is there not righteousness in Him? |
A30579 | Is this as becomes the Gospel? |
A30579 | Is this becoming the Gospel, to stand with God for any thing? |
A30579 | It is a very sweet and excellent Scripture, Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you: What should he do? |
A30579 | It 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? |
A30579 | Let 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? |
A30579 | Manie Christians live, and their Conuersations are very dark and no beauty at all in them; Why? |
A30579 | Mark the Text, Why, can we poor worms do any thing worthy of the Gospel? |
A30579 | Mark, striving together, he would have the Saints to be strivers: I but strivers for what? |
A30579 | Mark, what a title is here? |
A30579 | May there not be Wars and fighting for the maintainance of Religion and the Kingdom of Christ? |
A30579 | Must I do it? |
A30579 | My Kingdom is not of this world( saith Christ) Therefore, why should any that come under my kingdom look for great things in this world? |
A30579 | No( that you''l say) and therefore we account our condition ill now, for we have Arbitrary Governments amongst us now, And who are they? |
A30579 | Now dost thou know the price of a soul? |
A30579 | Now if a soul should make this moan to Jesus Christ, do you think that Christ would account this man a schismatick? |
A30579 | Now if they have as worldly hearts as others, how can they be the lights of the world? |
A30579 | Now if you must enter into a full possession of this glorious Kingdom through sufferings, why should you murmur? |
A30579 | Now if you should ask me, what Conversation is becoming the Gospel? |
A30579 | Now if you should say, Wherein should we walk so? |
A30579 | Now is your conversations as becometh the Gospel? |
A30579 | Now 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? |
A30579 | Now then I would appeal and put this to your consciences, Are your Conversations now, such as can give you comfort? |
A30579 | Now what Conversation is sutable to this? |
A30579 | Now what Conversation is sutable to this? |
A30579 | Now what a many enemies hath the Gospel at this day? |
A30579 | Now, 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? |
A30579 | O what Conversation becomes this, that we should be principled and acted with the same Spirit? |
A30579 | O what a stir is therein the world to satisfie the wils of a few men in the world? |
A30579 | Oh consider now, whether there be not like to be perplexity in your Spirits? |
A30579 | Oh how unbeseeming is this to the Gospel? |
A30579 | Oh how unsutable are fleshly lusts to a spiritual man? |
A30579 | Oh now my brethren, how ought we to live? |
A30579 | Oh then, What Conversation become this? |
A30579 | Oh this is infinitly unbeseeming the Gospel of Jesus Christ: do I beleeve this, and is it real unto my soul? |
A30579 | Oh 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? |
A30579 | Oh where is you bearing and forbearing with one another? |
A30579 | Oh 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? |
A30579 | On 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? |
A30579 | Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His Glory? |
A30579 | Put on: Why? |
A30579 | Q. Wherefore did he make you? |
A30579 | Quest ▪ You will say to me, How should one know when a man is a man of this world? |
A30579 | Saith an Ancient, what doth beastly fierceness and cruelty, and savigeness do in the breast of a Christian? |
A30579 | Saith he, Who am I, and what is my Fathers house, that I should be thus chosen? |
A30579 | Saul 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? |
A30579 | Secondly, That this their portion, it is confin''d to this life; and why so? |
A30579 | Shal they see their conversations to be holy as becomes the Gospel of Jesus Christ? |
A30579 | Shall every man be lest to his Opinion, to do what he will? |
A30579 | So God will answer to many men, when they shall cry to him for mercy, at that day, Why come you to me for more? |
A30579 | So I may say concerning many professors, look upon their Conversations, and what is this the Coat? |
A30579 | So I say concerning you: Ought not you to suffer first, and then to enter into your glory? |
A30579 | So may I say to you that are godly, Hath God given you Jesus Christ? |
A30579 | So may a man that hath his portion in this world here, say at his death, Where is this poor soul of mine going? |
A30579 | So 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? |
A30579 | Some men and women are ready to say, what do they care what others observe in them so that God knows their hearts? |
A30579 | Some will say, Should we have a care of our Conversations that we may get honor? |
A30579 | Somwhat they have, but little; Doth God take care for wicked and ungodly ones? |
A30579 | Such men, how do they abuse their portions? |
A30579 | Surely then, this cals to us al aloud to love peace, O love peace, Is God so set upon peace as he is? |
A30579 | That perhaps what you aim at as your End, your Adversaries may aim at, but as their Means; and what will become of you then? |
A30579 | The Spirit lives in us, and we live in the Spirit, what Conversation must there needs be here then? |
A30579 | The dearest thing, What''s that? |
A30579 | The poor things, that men have here in this world; What are they? |
A30579 | The weapons, What are they? |
A30579 | Then do not dishonor your Head: When there is a temptation comes to any sin, but will not this be a dishonor to my Head? |
A30579 | Then what manner of persons ought we to be? |
A30579 | Then why is thy heart set upon the world as the hearts of other men that are strangers to Jesus Christ? |
A30579 | There is a right from Promise? |
A30579 | This is a base kind of reasoning; Is this as becomes the Gospel? |
A30579 | This is higher; that''s thus, hath God shewed Himself gracious unto me? |
A30579 | Thou professest thou knowest Jesus Christ, that the Lord hath made known the glorious Mysteries of the Gospel to thee; What is thy life? |
A30579 | Truth, Pilate asked Him what the Truth was? |
A30579 | Upon what ground is it? |
A30579 | Watch and Pray, be watchful in all your converse, keep your communion with God close: What will be the fruit of this? |
A30579 | We 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? |
A30579 | Were not this one of the horriblest wickednesses that ever were committed in a Kingdom? |
A30579 | What Conversation doth become this? |
A30579 | What Dominions shall there be when the Saints are in the highest Heavens, to serve and obey Christ? |
A30579 | What do you hold forth of the great Work of the Gospel, if you do not hold forth this? |

A30579 | What dost thou admire most men for? |
A30579 | What esteem would you have of a man that is hanging upon a gallows? |
A30579 | What honor should God have in the world were it not for the holy and gracious Conversations of some of His Saints? |
A30579 | What hope hath an Hypocrite though he hath gained, when God takes away his soul? |

A30579 | What is it to repent? |
A30579 | What is it? |
A30579 | What is it? |
A30579 | What is that thing that you strive to make most sure? |
A30579 | What is the meaning? |
A30579 | What shal I make the Temple of God a ● ● y for the unclean spirit, a cage of unclean birds? |
A30579 | What''s that but as Christ himself saith, Be ye merciful as your heavenly father is merciful, Oh have you a merciful heart one towards another? |
A30579 | What''s the reason that there are more comes into the Kingdom of Antichrist, than into the Kingdom of Christ? |
A30579 | What, art thou careful to lay up for thy Children? |
A30579 | What, doest thou convince wicked men, and stop the mouthes of wicked men? |
A30579 | What, know ye not that your bodie is the temple of the holy Ghost, which is in you? |
A30579 | When many come into places of dignity and power, What are their thoughts? |
A30579 | Whence was it that ever Jesus Christ should be known to thy soul, that was so worldly, so drossie, so earthy a soul? |
A30579 | Who is he? |
A30579 | Who made you? |
A30579 | Who shall separate us from the love of God? |
A30579 | Who will trust you with the true riches? |
A30579 | Why? |
A30579 | Why? |
A30579 | Why? |
A30579 | Why? |
A30579 | Why? |
A30579 | Wilt thou set thy heart upon that which is not? |
A30579 | With more ease? |
A30579 | Would it not be more pleasing to God( ask but your conscience now?) |
A30579 | Would you know what Christs mind is? |
A30579 | Would you walk as becomes the Gospel? |
A30579 | Ye observe daies, and months, and times, and years: What then? |
A30579 | You are graffed into Jesus Christ, and not into a Crab- stock: And do you receive this Sap from the Root? |
A30579 | You complain of weakness: But is there not strength in Christ? |
A30579 | You know what an offence it was unto the Jews, say they, Do any of the Rulers beleeve in him? |
A30579 | You will say then, But what is that Conversation becoming the Gospel, that is beyond the light of Nature? |
A30579 | You will say, How doth it appear? |
A30579 | You 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? |

A30579 | and do you see that they walk not according to the truth of the Gospel? |

A30579 | and dost thou set them at so low a rate? |
A30579 | and hath He revealed unto you those glorious Mysteries of Salvation in Him? |

A30579 | and know what a price God hath set upon souls? |
A30579 | and so doest thou tender up all thy services to God? |

A30579 | are you sensible of the love of Christ? |
A30579 | but I have an unclean conscience, a leprous soul: Doest thou set the good things here to countervail the evil of sin? |
A30579 | didst ever reade the Gospel, man or woman didst thou ever hear of Christ? |
A30579 | do I receive such a spirit from the Head to act after such a sinful course? |

A30579 | indeed this will bring me a great deal of comfort and content, and I shall get so much by it; Oh but will it not obstruct the Gospel? |
A30579 | is it fit for him to wear such things as these? |
A30579 | is this to shew the high price of a soul, that wil pawn your souls thus? |
A30579 | it will hinder the Gospel, Oh wilt not thou part with thy sin, when any temptation comes to sin? |
A30579 | must Heaven and earth be mov''d to provide a way to ransom souls? |

A30579 | of sin indefinitly, it''s death: And do I beleeve this, and yet shall I rather chuse the commission of a sin than the bearing of any affliction? |
A30579 | or that shal be accounted worthy to stand before Him? |
A30579 | or what use can you make of that to your point? |
A30579 | send for a Physitian; wounds, sides, heart, must I die? |
A30579 | such a man is happy, he hath so much coming in, and hath so much a yeer: But dost thou call the vile man happy? |
A30579 | there is infinite grace, but what way doth God take to manifest infinite grace? |
A30579 | this the Conversation of the son of God? |

A30579 | why must we be so holy? |
A30579 | why should you be against it then, when it forces you not to come into it? |
A30579 | why should you so malign Christs Kingdom when as Christs Kingdom would help you? |

A30587 | 16. is very sutable; Be not righteous over much, neither make thy selfe over wise, why shouldst thou destroy thy selfe? |
A30587 | 2. Who shall stand when he appeares? |
A30587 | A carnall heart would say, why might not Daniel have been wiser? |
A30587 | A great deal of stir there hath been more then formerly,& yet what are these men otherwise then they have bin many years since? |
A30587 | A learned man being once asked why he did not write his judgment about the controversie of his time, answered, To what purpose? |
A30587 | A little Logick will draw the consequence, Hath God declared himself that he intends to go on in this work he hath begun? |
A30587 | ANd now, my brethren, as the Eunuch said to Philip concerning his Baptisme, Here is water, what lets but I may be baptized? |
A30587 | Add indeed the root from whence the word comes, signifies desolari, to make desolate; why? |
A30587 | After a while Philip met with those who would have him to have revenged himself upon Arcadion, What say you now of Arcadion? |
A30587 | And dost thou also require, that wee must not bring our judgments to our Brethrens till thy light brings them? |
A30587 | And is not this one Spirit the Spirit of love and meeknesse? |
A30587 | And 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? |
A30587 | And to what purpose do we live, if God have not glory by us? |
A30587 | And what comfort can a man have of his life, if he be laid aside by God as a useless man? |
A30587 | And why may not I adde, of division and contention, peace and union? |
A30587 | Are they not under his protection and care? |
A30587 | Are those the places? |
A30587 | Are we the children of Israel? |
A30587 | Are you not the Stewards of Christ, are they not given to you for the edification of your Brethren, as well as for good to your selves? |
A30587 | Arius Montanus translates, Nunquid de solatio: what, is there desolation made? |
A30587 | As Balaams Asse said to his Master, Have I used to serve thee so at other times? |
A30587 | Away therefore, will you adde impiety to your sinne? |
A30587 | BUt how will this joyn us one to another? |
A30587 | But did he not bring disturbance to the Kingdome by this his zeale? |
A30587 | But 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? |
A30587 | But doth not Christ say, Hee came into the world to witnesse to the truth, and is not every truth more worth then our lives? |
A30587 | But doth not this then exclude him from the exercise of any power in the matters of Christian Religion? |
A30587 | But especially where men will not keepe within their bounds in their power over others; for what is all our contestation at this time? |
A30587 | But here will be not an inconvenience only but a mischief? |
A30587 | But how can naturall and externall things be helps to things spirituall and divine? |
A30587 | But how can this be? |
A30587 | But how is this an argument for us to unite? |
A30587 | But how shall it be known, whether the Devill be in a mans conscience or not? |
A30587 | But if instead of being sweetned by mercies we are the more imbittered one against another, how great is this sinne? |
A30587 | But if men of evill tongues doe so much hurt to men of moderate spirits, what hurt doe they doe one to another? |
A30587 | But if the difference be so little, why doe they not come in? |
A30587 | But 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? |
A30587 | But it is necessary that all things be reformed at once? |
A30587 | But must God have all our hearts, so as we may not let them out at all to any thing else? |
A30587 | But that those embracements of his should be everlasting, and yet shall every trifle take us off from one anothers hearts? |
A30587 | But these who gather Churches thus, looke upon all others who are not in that way as Heathens; and what division must this needs make? |
A30587 | But they are not formally and juridically delivered up to Satan? |
A30587 | But what are the severall workings of pride that make such a stir in the world? |
A30587 | But what came on it? |
A30587 | But what if Congregations refuse to give account of their wayes? |
A30587 | But what may be done to a man in such a case? |
A30587 | But when these latter cases shall fall out, how shall the truth be maintained? |
A30587 | But while one draws one way, another another, one seeks to set up, and another labours to pull down, how can the work go on? |
A30587 | But who can know when a man is condemned of himselfe? |
A30587 | But why must there be Divisions, what does God ayme at in them? |
A30587 | But why then will they not admit them to their communion? |
A30587 | But will Printing help? |
A30587 | But would you know what it is that hath grieved it, and what it is that is like to grieve it further? |
A30587 | But you will say, How can we do lesse but account it a very strange thing, that those who fear God should be thus divided? |
A30587 | But 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? |
A30587 | But you will say, May not men be punished for things that they see no reason why they should be punished? |
A30587 | But you will say, Surely there is use of reason and prudence in matters spirituall; how far may their use extend? |
A30587 | But you will say, What? |
A30587 | By what name, sayes he, shall I call you? |
A30587 | Can any man living beare this? |

A30587 | Canst not thou prevail with thy Father as well in this as in that? |
A30587 | Christ reconciles both unto God: but how? |
A30587 | Conscience is an inward roome, who can see into it, what, or who is there? |
A30587 | Cur hominios non obstruitis auro argentove? |

A30587 | From whence are our State- divisions, our Warres, but because Princes have been perswaded their power was boundlesse? |
A30587 | From whence hath come the gross ignorance of Popery, but from the prevailing of this principle? |
A30587 | God 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? |
A30587 | God shewes that he can owne us notwithstanding all our infirmities: Was ever Kingdome in a more distempered condition then ours hath been of late? |
A30587 | Had 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? |
A30587 | Hath Christ delevered us from one burden to lay a greater upon us? |
A30587 | Hath God made this to be an Ordinance for the spirituall good of people? |
A30587 | Have we not all one Father? |
A30587 | Have we the spirit of Christ in us? |
A30587 | He shall not prevail, sayes Christ: Why? |
A30587 | How can we answer Christ Jesus for these things? |
A30587 | How can you partake of the Table of the Lord, and the Table of Devills? |
A30587 | How comes it to passe, you can close so lovingly now? |

A30587 | How great a misery will this be? |
A30587 | How great then is the evill of our divisions? |
A30587 | How little has all that they have studied and endeavoured to do, prevailed with the hearts of men? |

A30587 | IF God should catch advantages against us, what would become of us? |
A30587 | IT 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? |
A30587 | If an Ammonite or Moabite can not beare the being shut out of the Congregation of the Lord, how can the Saints beare it? |
A30587 | If he comes thus, who shall abide his comming? |
A30587 | If it prevails, what domineering is there like to be of one over another, yea of some few over many? |
A30587 | If 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? |
A30587 | If 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? |
A30587 | If such things may fall out between Jerome and Ruffinus,( sayes he) who that is now a friend may not fear to be an enemy? |
A30587 | If 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? |
A30587 | If we had but that great question more amongst us, What shall wee doe to be saved? |
A30587 | If we should say, O Lord Jesus, wouldst thou have us be at peace one with another? |
A30587 | If 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? |

A30587 | Is it comely for the body of Christ to be rent and torn? |

A30587 | Is 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? |
A30587 | Is it not the power which they themselves had, and which they might have kept amongst themselves? |
A30587 | Is it seemly that one mans children should be alwayes contending, quarrelling and mischieving one another? |
A30587 | Is it such a Fast that I have chosen? |
A30587 | Is it true O Shadrach; Meshach, and Abednego? |
A30587 | Is not thine Embassage from thy Father, an Embassage of peace? |
A30587 | Is not this to deny the Church the benefit of the gifts and graces of thousands of others? |
A30587 | It 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? |
A30587 | It may be you will say, What hurt is there in them? |
A30587 | Lastly, the Saints enjoyment of the sweetnesse of love, peace and unity among themselves, what is it but heaven upon earth? |
A30587 | Let 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? |
A30587 | Luther approved of these things, are you wiser then he? |
A30587 | Many 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? |
A30587 | Many will have no peace, except their own party be followed; Jehu- like, What hast thou to do with peace? |
A30587 | May it not be justly thought that all our seeming love one to,& closing one with another formerly, was only for our own ends? |
A30587 | May it not be that his eyes and thoughts were another way? |
A30587 | May it not help one way, and hinder many ways? |

A30587 | Nehemiah raised up by God for great service, what dirt was cast upon him? |
A30587 | Ninthly, what can have that power to take off the sowrnesse of mens spirits like mercy; the mercy of a God? |
A30587 | Now all this being done in Christs name, is this nothing to prevail with conscience? |
A30587 | Now then, have not our divisions overcom Gods goodnes, lest Gods goodness overcome our divisions? |
A30587 | Now then, how shall we know when a man is neither fickle nor stout? |
A30587 | Now what doth this require of us? |
A30587 | O Lord, what is this thy curse at this time upon England? |
A30587 | O pitty, pitty thy Brother, if thou canst not pitty thy selfe; does it not grieve thee, that thy Brother should bring sinne upon himself? |
A30587 | Oh Lord, what are we in these dayes such kinde of Christians as these were? |
A30587 | Oh blessed Saviour, is not thy prayer against our divisions, as strong? |
A30587 | Oh blessed Saviour, must we not think that thou art come to send peace? |
A30587 | Oh consider, is the breach between man and man so grievous? |
A30587 | Oh that we had hearts when we find contentions stirring to consider, But is there not a temptation in them? |
A30587 | One would be for Paul, another for Apollos, sayes the Apostle, What need this contention, who you are for, and who another is for? |
A30587 | Only here lies the great doubt, Whether hath God appointed the use of the Magistrates power to be a helpe to the things of Religion? |
A30587 | Our Divisions hinder our strength; If you untwist a Cable, how weak is it in the severall parts of it? |
A30587 | Prayer in it selfe is better, but is it better at this time for me, all things considered? |

A30587 | Shall 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? |
A30587 | Shall so many Religions be suffered amongst us? |
A30587 | Shall the comfort of all our former mercies and future hopes be lost, by raising up of new quarrels? |

A30587 | Tanta ne vos generis tenuit fiducia vestri? |
A30587 | Tell me, were it a signe of valour in a man to draw his sword at every Whappet that comes near him? |

A30587 | There is a great outcry of this but what is the scope of it? |
A30587 | There shall not a man be put to death this day: Why? |
A30587 | These are strange accusations; for do not they themselves make all these the signs of the true Church? |
A30587 | This dividing with God is very wicked; what communion hath God with Belial? |
A30587 | Those wasting Wars of the Romans between Sylla and Marius, Caesar and Pompey, were they not from hence? |
A30587 | To which the Embassadors of Austria reply: What discommoditie were herein, how heavie and sorrowfull newes this would be to the people, who seeth not? |

A30587 | We are delivered from being devoured by our enemies; shal we now devour one another? |
A30587 | We 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? |
A30587 | We 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? |
A30587 | We use to put a price upon things that are rare: what makes Jewels to be of that worth, but for the rarity of them? |
A30587 | Were it not better for thee to suffer; then for thy Brother to sinne? |
A30587 | Were it not folly and madnesse? |
A30587 | What a stir hath this Meum and Tuum made in the world? |
A30587 | What a stir would the Lions in the Tower mak ●, and the Bears in Paris- garden, if they were let loose? |

A30587 | When the Turks have prevailed over Christians, do not all stories tell us it hath been through the divisions of Christians? |
A30587 | Whence are wars and fighting amongst you? |
A30587 | Whence come they? |
A30587 | Where is there that opening of secrets one to another as formerly? |
A30587 | Wherefore 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? |
A30587 | Who can meddle with this fire that is kindled among us, and not burn his fingers? |
A30587 | Who can read that short but sowre History of the troubles at Frankford, but his heart must needs bleed within him? |
A30587 | Who can stand before envy? |
A30587 | Why are you dismembred in your hearts and your opinions? |
A30587 | Why doe you seek to strengthen your selves by stirring up vile men to joyne with you, such as heretofore your hearts were opposite to? |

A30587 | Why so? |
A30587 | Why, what then? |
A30587 | Why? |
A30587 | Why? |
A30587 | YOu will say, Are workes of zeale any helps to peace and union? |
A30587 | Yet were this Question put to some of us, Whence are all our divisions? |
A30587 | You begin to make a stirre, but can you give account of it? |
A30587 | You wil say, How could it then endure the heat of the oven? |
A30587 | You will say, How can that be? |

A30587 | and although we hold not the seventh, yet there is an ingredient in the sixt, that hath in it the strength of the seventh? |
A30587 | and did not one fashion us in the wombe? |
A30587 | and is it not our case? |
A30587 | and is not that a Dove- like spirit? |
A30587 | and is this comely? |
A30587 | and must this come from the City? |
A30587 | and shall men of peace be at warre? |
A30587 | and that nothing should be done for the restrayning any, but to aske them why they doe so, and to perswade them to doe otherwise? |
A30587 | and what then is like to become of the publique? |
A30587 | and yet the Lord hath owned us: Why should not we own our Brethren, notwithstanding their infirmities? |
A30587 | any 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? |
A30587 | are these the Sheep of Christ, whom I see to consume away in their miserable burning? |
A30587 | are they not hence, even from your lusts? |

A30587 | commend others: would you be loved? |
A30587 | cruenta sevitia bestiarum? |
A30587 | did we not then acknowledg that it were righteous with God because of our divisions, to give us up as a prey to our adversarie ●? |
A30587 | do you thinke this is pleasing to your Father? |
A30587 | doe 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? |
A30587 | doe you not feare to bring those feet of yours, polluted with the blood of innocents, into this holy place? |
A30587 | dost thou not pray for thy self and for him, Lord lead us not into temptation? |
A30587 | dost thou see that this will be a temptation to thy brother, and wilt thou lay it before him? |

A30587 | how did it please them at the heart if they could meet with any thing that might serve their turne? |
A30587 | how might the honour of Christ have been advanced high amongst us before this day? |
A30587 | how uncomely will this be? |
A30587 | if this be suffered, what desolation must needs follow? |
A30587 | is it better in regard of others, in regard of the publique, for the helping me in all my relations? |
A30587 | is it not from the generality of the men, over whom they have power? |
A30587 | is it not in this? |
A30587 | is it not possible that it may be thorough multitude of businesse in his head that you know not of? |
A30587 | is it not the Spirit of God? |
A30587 | is the same minde in us that was in Christ Jesus? |
A30587 | it is not about mens stretching their power beyond their line both in State and Church? |
A30587 | may be not preach Jesus Christ to poor ignorant creatures? |
A30587 | may wee not doe them then? |
A30587 | of such parts, such approved abilities, so endued by God to doe some eminent service, be laid aside, and no body regard me? |
A30587 | or doe you not remember we have another Emperour above you? |
A30587 | or to stretch forth those hands of yours, wet, yea dropping with blood, to take the most holy body of the Lord? |
A30587 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his soule? |
A30587 | sayes he: How doth he now behave himself? |
A30587 | shall every jealous spusitious conceit, every little difference, be enough to seperate us and that almost irreconcileably? |
A30587 | surely our condition is very sad: Have we not cause to say, Lord let any burthen of the Ceremonial Law be laid upon our necks rather then this? |

A30587 | the thoughts, the counsels, contrivances, endeavours, ways of men, almost of all men, how are they divided? |
A30587 | then all your affections? |
A30587 | then all your offences? |
A30587 | thus many answer to the truth of God that would take them off from what they are engaged in, but what shall I do for my credit that lyes engaged? |
A30587 | vinenum lethale serpenium? |
A30587 | w ht made him thus to aggravate the offence, but meerly the pride of his heart? |
A30587 | was it a desolation that these three poor innocent men made, because they would not, nay, they could not do as this proud K. would have them? |
A30587 | was it not because they were chained together? |
A30587 | was it out of respect to Christ, that they were so unwilling it should be divided? |
A30587 | we do not read of such things before Christs time; yet do you think this was a good argument why men should wish that Christ had never come? |
A30587 | what bearing one anothers burdens? |

A30587 | why do we deale treacherously every man against his brother? |
A30587 | will it not suffer much prejudice? |
A30587 | will not all be whist presently? |
A30587 | will you then make the Magistrate a Judge in all causes of Religion? |

A30574 | you can not go to God, then the very thoughts of God must needs be terrible to you, and then what will you do? |
A30575 | ''T is a speech of Chrysostom, Why doest thou despise, and despight God in this, in bringing unclean things to him? |
A30575 | ( saith the Scripture) or what profit is there of Circumcision? |
A30575 | ( speaking of riches) Now it is according to the Hebrew, Will ye make your eyes to fly upon that which is not? |
A30575 | 1. Who is this, that cometh from Edom? |
A30575 | 13. saith he, Their fear towards me is taught by the precepts of men: What then? |
A30575 | 13. when he appeared to Jacob, what said he to him? |
A30575 | 14. there it''s spoken of God, that he did wonders and marvellous things; What are those wonders and marvellous things? |
A30575 | 17. he calls him his Enemy, saying to Michel, Why hast thou sent away mine Enemy? |
A30575 | 22. which is spoken in reference to their way, coming out of their captivity; How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? |

A30575 | 5. he speaks of Christ there cleerly, and saith, To which of the Angels bath he said, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee? |
A30575 | 7. hath he smitten him, as he smot those that smit him? |
A30575 | 7. saith God there, Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me? |

A30575 | 8. Who are those that fly as a cloud, and as the Doves to their windows? |
A30575 | 8. when those Hypocrits had said, What shall we do? |
A30575 | A Ninth Observation is this; you see when God, though he threatned very sorely, and charges deeply, yet, How shall I do this? |
A30575 | Again, I come to enjoy abundance here in the Creature: But is there not danger, is there not a snare in what I do enjoy? |
A30575 | Am I not a Reprobate? |
A30575 | And Drusius he reades it Interogatively, Who hath destroyed thee? |
A30575 | And Pareus he read it, Against thy help, and so supplies the word, Thou hast rebelled against thy help, Oh thou hast destroyed thy help; Why? |
A30575 | And did not God deal honorably with them? |
A30575 | And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? |
A30575 | And if ever you have need of God again, how will conscience be stop''d? |
A30575 | And is it so? |
A30575 | And it may be for a time you seem to have some patience; But hath Patience had her perfect work in you? |
A30575 | And my brethren, this is not meant meerly of the times of the Law; for this anger of God upon them is to this very day? |
A30575 | And shewed you how that all those that had to deal with men to draw them to God should do as God doth, labor to draw them with Bonds of Love? |
A30575 | And sixtly, Doth the love of God to his people begin so soon? |
A30575 | And so we were going to most vile and abominable Idolatry, but by what steps? |
A30575 | And then Secondly, How will the shame and confusion of men be aggravated hereafter, which did disregard Gods using of them in an honorable way? |
A30575 | And then Thirdly, Is this Gods way? |
A30575 | And then secondly, But would you know whether God would love you? |
A30575 | And therefore they translate it so, How shall I protect thee? |
A30575 | And this is the reason that your Goal- birds never com to any good almost; Why? |
A30575 | And this waiting is of very great use to those that are turning to God, Consider of it, Is any of you about the work of turning to God? |
A30575 | And thus much for those words, How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A30575 | And why may not the Lord that hath brought us out of Egypt, bring us to rejoyce as in the feast of Tabernacles? |
A30575 | And why? |
A30575 | And yet can not thy heart be overturned, nor tremble? |
A30575 | And you can not better your self: Whither wilt thou go, poor soul? |
A30575 | And you that would fain have more and more, have you digested what you have had? |
A30575 | And you who were so poor in the wilderness, depending on me for every bit of bread; yet after when you were fed, how proud and wanton grew you? |
A30575 | Are not they thy People? |
A30575 | Are not you grown flat, dead, and drossie, and carnal now more than before? |
A30575 | Are they not those that I have had sweet converse with, and experience of their godliness? |
A30575 | Art thou come to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son? |
A30575 | As here in a Kingdom, so in an Estate, Hast thou a little Estate, yea, but hast thou it with God? |
A30575 | As if he should have said, what a case had you been in, if I had not delivered you out of Egypt, from the Iron furnace, a low, base imployment? |
A30575 | As if he should say, I am the same God that ever I was, but where is your King that should save you in your Cities? |
A30575 | As if he should say, Lord, how will thy promise be fulfill''d? |
A30575 | Asked them, Where''s all your Bravery, and Pride, and Rage? |
A30575 | At that time when Forces were raised( before the Parliament) against our Brethren of Scotland, then said the Lord, How shall I give thee up? |
A30575 | Baal- zephon what? |
A30575 | But I rather take it thus; Who shall find iniquity in me that were any great matter? |
A30575 | But can we say, that according to our green Pastures that God leads us in, so are we filled? |
A30575 | But how did he prevail? |
A30575 | But how doth the Prophet make use of this Title of God, The Lord of Hosts? |
A30575 | But how in the midst, when they so vile, and cast off from being his people, a sink of Idolatry and wickedness? |
A30575 | But how was this true? |
A30575 | But if you make a stop there, I will be, your King; where is he that shall save you in your Cities? |
A30575 | But it may be demanded: When are Kings and Princes given in anger? |
A30575 | But it''s better if men before they have sinned would say, How shall I do it? |
A30575 | But now, doth not this argue God to be a God of ridgedness and severity? |
A30575 | But then Secondly, Why is Jacob mentioned in this place? |
A30575 | But they might say, Do not we turn to God? |
A30575 | But to another it''s nothing, What, Shall the Ministry of the Word countervail the loss of my estate? |
A30575 | But what''s the meaning of this,( you will say?) |
A30575 | But when was this? |
A30575 | But where are they, saith God? |
A30575 | But will he be such a Savior to me, in my condition? |
A30575 | But you should consider what though such and such opinions and waies will serve my turn, will they not be burdens to others? |
A30575 | But you wil ask me, What''s the reason that nothing would satisfie them but a King and Nobles? |
A30575 | But you wil say, Why doth God express himself thus? |
A30575 | But you will say, He can love, I but, Will He love? |
A30575 | But you will say, They are so wicked that how can I hope to have love from them? |
A30575 | But, how shall I make thee as Admah and Zeboim? |
A30575 | By way of Interogation some reade it thus, What shall I the Lord that brought thee out of the Land of Egypt make thee to dwell in Tabernacles? |
A30575 | Can any God work for you so as I have done? |
A30575 | Can you mend your self any way? |
A30575 | Can you stand it out with God? |
A30575 | Canst thou say, Oh Righteous Father? |
A30575 | Convert A true Convert, what? |
A30575 | Covetousness it is a beforting sin, it is a blinding sin; Who shall find any iniquity in me? |
A30575 | Cur Domine eū ficisti Imperatorum? |
A30575 | Dangerous A dangerous sign of Reprobation 544 Deceiptful dealers Deceiptful dealers, see Excuses Decree Decree, what it is? |
A30575 | Did he not name wild beasts enough before? |
A30575 | Did not God approve of it? |
A30575 | Did not God fight for them before? |
A30575 | Did not God gain upon your hearts in a gentle way? |
A30575 | Did not all say, even at the first year when the Wars began, Surely things would be very scarce? |
A30575 | Did not that terrifie him? |
A30575 | Do not we see how fast we run towards destruction, being but a little left to our selves, what a perverse spirit is there now among our selves? |
A30575 | Do ye provoke the Lord to jealousie? |
A30575 | Do you expect that Gods heart should work strongly towards you to do you good, and yet nothing stir in you? |
A30575 | Do your souls worship God, and sanctifie the Name of God in all your waies? |
A30575 | Doest thou profess any interest in God? |
A30575 | Doest thou think that another mans evil may be an excuse to thy evil? |
A30575 | Doth God at any time melt thy heart, and make thee apprehensive of thy need of mercy? |
A30575 | Doth God call you, and you not answer to him? |
A30575 | Doth God put a difference between Reprobates and his People in punishment? |
A30575 | Doth a Fountain send forth, at the same place, sweet water, and bitter? |
A30575 | Doth it become the Captain of our salvation in his seeking of God to weep? |
A30575 | Doth not Judah do so aswel as we? |
A30575 | Doth thy conscience tell thee that there hath been a time wherein God hath been displeased with thee, the anger of God hath burst out against thee? |
A30575 | Everie fool may do mischief to himself, yea, and to others, but can he help? |
A30575 | Examin I beseech you, when you were low any of you, say, had you not more of Gods presence with you then, than you have now? |
A30575 | Excellency Excellency of the Name JEHOVAH 293 Excellency of Gods saving 449 Exalted We should not be exalted by prosperity, and why? |
A30575 | First, How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A30575 | First, How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A30575 | For First, What low and mean things are they? |
A30575 | For my love, they are my adversaries( but what then?) |
A30575 | For so it is, Where is your King that should save you in your Cities? |
A30575 | For the Answer: That which before was said, will give sufficient answer to it, How shall I make thee as Admah, and Zeboim? |
A30575 | Fourthly, How shall I s ● t thee as Zeboim? |
A30575 | Fourthly, Now I come to enjoy abundance, What''s the rule that God hath set in the Word for the ordering of my heart in what I do enjoy? |
A30575 | Further, I have abundance; but what uncertainty is there in all these things? |
A30575 | God doth seem as it were to be at a stand, How shall I do to save these sinners, and yet not to wrong my self? |
A30575 | God gives me abundance of the creature, but what is Gods end? |
A30575 | God knows that many times it was ready to sink, and if I had left off, what had become of me? |
A30575 | God made his glory pass by him, and what was it? |
A30575 | God might without any more ado pardon, and help, or deliver, why should he express himself in this manner? |
A30575 | God, what God? |
A30575 | Gods mercy is his own; If God wil destroy Admah and Zeboim eternally; who can say against Gods dealings with them? |
A30575 | Had not God blessed the endeavors of a Prophet for good unto your forefathers, where had you been at this day? |
A30575 | Have I conceived all this people? |
A30575 | Have not some of you heard such language many times in this Kingdom? |
A30575 | Have not you found it thus many times in your selves? |
A30575 | Have not you found this fruit of the Ministry of the Word in your hearts, calling you many a time to the most high God? |
A30575 | Have you to deal with stony hearts? |
A30575 | He lets them have them, but how? |
A30575 | He tells also of the Bishop of Thebais, being proud because advanced: Had these words spoken to him: Wherefore miserable man art thou proud? |
A30575 | He went on frowardly when I smote him; what then? |
A30575 | Hence let us learn what to do when any temptation comes to any sin: What, is it thus with God? |
A30575 | Here we have in your books four[ How''s] How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A30575 | His Lord] What is God the Lord of this people? |
A30575 | How comes it to pass that Israel is dealt withall so as he is? |
A30575 | How doth the Work of God seem against his Word in appearance? |
A30575 | How fair and how pleasant art thou, O Love, for delights? |
A30575 | How fair and how pleasant is Love? |
A30575 | How few Country Villages about the City were supplied with faithful Preachers? |
A30575 | How foolish were they, to forsake the blessed God, to worship Calves? |
A30575 | How if these should prove to be temptations to me to draw my heart from God; were I not better be without them? |
A30575 | How many mens hearts and waies are so different from what they seem''d to be? |
A30575 | How often when men have been willing to give any thing to God, God hath made it up in one yeer? |
A30575 | How shall I deliver thee, Israel? |
A30575 | How shall I deliver thee, Israel? |
A30575 | How shall I deliver thee? |
A30575 | How shall I do it, saith God? |
A30575 | How shall I do it? |
A30575 | How shall I do it? |
A30575 | How shall I do it? |
A30575 | How shall I do this? |
A30575 | How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A30575 | How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A30575 | How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A30575 | How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A30575 | How shall I make thee as Admah? |
A30575 | How shall I make thee as Admah? |
A30575 | How shall I make thee as Admah? |
A30575 | How shall I pardon thee for this? |
A30575 | How shall I protect thee, Israel? |
A30575 | How shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
A30575 | How shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
A30575 | How shall it be for mine honor that thou shouldest be under my protection? |
A30575 | How to know whether God will love us or no? |
A30575 | How we may know when God takes away and not in wrath? |
A30575 | How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman? |
A30575 | How? |
A30575 | How? |
A30575 | I am infinitly above man: Wherein O Lord art thou above them? |
A30575 | I 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? |
A30575 | I am yet what ever I seemed to be to you, why are you so perverse and untoward towards me? |
A30575 | I can not beat it whoever provokes me, why should I think that the infinite God should bear with me when I provoke him? |
A30575 | I confess in the Hebrew there are but two, but yet for the sense of it the Interpreters put in the other, and they have the sense of four, How? |
A30575 | I have it now, but how quickly may it be gone? |
A30575 | I have loved you, saith the Lord; yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? |
A30575 | I have much, Oh but considering how little service I do for God, may not I fear that this I have it is to be my portion? |
A30575 | I have much, but have I not much engagements with what I do enjoy? |
A30575 | I may vent my self, but what good may come of it? |
A30575 | I say, this confounding[ Where] will be asked to every wicked and ungodly man: What will they be able to say then? |
A30575 | I see infirmities in them, I, but notwithstanding my great sins, God saith of me, How shall I give thee up? |
A30575 | I 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? |
A30575 | I will be thy King: Where is any other that may save thee in all thy Cities? |
A30575 | If I buy a commodity and sell it again, what oppression can there be? |
A30575 | If a man comes to a Table and eats, and then he swels presently upon it, God be merciful to me, am I poisoned, saith he? |
A30575 | If a man were to go and chuse a Wife, if he knew her face were painted, would he conclude, Surely here''s one of an excellent complexion? |
A30575 | If indeed Israel could have said thus, You indeed complain of our false worship, Who doth otherwise? |
A30575 | If the Ox be but fed, he knows his Owner: Who is it that feeds you? |
A30575 | If we enquire what that way is? |
A30575 | If you ask me what were those Bonds of Love that God drew this people of Israel unto Himself by? |
A30575 | In the Fourth place, Sin puts God to a stand; How shall I do it? |
A30575 | Indeed the words may carry it, Who shall find iniquity in me? |
A30575 | Is Ephraim my dear Son? |
A30575 | Is Ephraim my dear son? |
A30575 | Is Israel a Servant? |
A30575 | Is Israel a Servant? |
A30575 | Is it not better to have the Russet Coat that is not dangerous, than a Velvet Coat that hath the Plague in it? |
A30575 | Is it not folly to provoke a man that is a Superior, that hath power over you, and can crush you? |
A30575 | Is it not from the free Grace of God in chusing one rather than the other,& that in the very womb? |
A30575 | Is it not possible why there should be some other grounds why they differ from their brethren, but meerly stiff- neckedness? |
A30575 | Is not Judah as bad as we? |
A30575 | Is not our God a gracious God, and a merciful God? |
A30575 | Is not the gleaning of the Grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer? |
A30575 | Is there iniquitie in Gilead? |
A30575 | Is there iniquity in Gilead? |
A30575 | Is there iniquity in Gilead? |
A30575 | Is there that good to be got in those waies of sin as there is in mine? |
A30575 | Is there? |
A30575 | Is this he that is God and Man? |
A30575 | Is this he that is the second person in Trinity, that presently after he is born we must fly for his life through a desert wilderness? |
A30575 | Is this he that should be the redeemer of Israel? |
A30575 | Is this the Savior of the World? |
A30575 | Is this the merciful God? |
A30575 | Is this the same God that spake so of Ephraim heretofore? |
A30575 | It follows; How shall I make thee as Admah, and set thee as Zeboim? |
A30575 | It is a vain conceit of people to think thus, God loves me, why? |
A30575 | It is my child, though stuborn, why may it not return? |
A30575 | It is your foolish, wilful stubornness, going on in such a vile, finful way that puts God to such a stand; What shall I do? |
A30575 | It may be in a way of aggravation of their sin and stubbornness, Why doest not thou come in to me? |
A30575 | It 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? |
A30575 | It were well my brethren, if men after they have sinned would say, Oh, what have I done? |
A30575 | It''s true, we have suffered something, yea, but hath not God wrought good out of our sufferings? |
A30575 | Joshuah he was of the Tribe of Ephraim, and when Joshua spake, what trembling was there among all the people? |
A30575 | Just like to the plea that some heretofore have had, What, do not our Ministers do thus? |
A30575 | Mark the answer there: How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge? |
A30575 | Mark, all the Nations that are about you shall say, What Nation is there so wise, that hath Statutes and Judgments like this Nation? |
A30575 | Mens inventions are low things, are base and unworthy things, Oh consider whether thou findest this in the Worship of God? |
A30575 | My Brethren, What are we but almost like Egypt this day? |
A30575 | My brethren, let us search our hearts; there was a great forwardness of Reformation in the beginning of the Parliament, then how did men stir? |
A30575 | Now my brethren, all this I have done to that end, that your hearts may be gained unto God; And what wilt thou do now? |
A30575 | Now what a difference is there in the hearts of men in these daies? |
A30575 | Now what abundance hath God wrought by deferring what we would have had? |
A30575 | Now when Christ ascended up to be crowned on high, What was the great thing that he gave in the world? |
A30575 | Now you are seeking God, you have not what you would have, Whither will you go? |
A30575 | Now you will say, What doth the holy Ghost mean here? |
A30575 | O thou Sword of the Lord, How long will it be ere thou be quiet? |
A30575 | Oh but you will say, Why do you speak thus? |
A30575 | Or as some others reade it, What shall I do to thee? |
A30575 | Or if you take it as it is in your books, How shall I give thee up? |
A30575 | Or it may be people would speak thus to the Prophet, Oh why do you speak of God in this terrible manner? |
A30575 | Parents are charged not so much as to provoke their Children to wrath; And wilt thou provoke God then? |
A30575 | Prisoners that are chained at a Post, they are altogether all the day long: But would you have such a kind of union, to be united with such chains? |
A30575 | Q But how doth this concern us? |
A30575 | Samuel could appeal to them, Whose Ox, or Ass have I taken? |
A30575 | Secondly, How shall I deliver thee, Israel? |
A30575 | Secondly, What do I think God aims at? |
A30575 | Shall I account them pure with the wicked ballances, and with the bag of deceiptful weights? |
A30575 | Shall I yet continue my wonted love to you as to make you to keep your Feast of Tabernacles still with joy as you were wo nt to do yeerly? |
A30575 | Shall it not wither when the East wind toucheth it? |
A30575 | Shall it not wither when the East wind toucheth it? |
A30575 | Should a wise man utter vain knowledg, and fill his belly with the East wind? |
A30575 | Since you know God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye to the weak and beggerly elements of the world? |
A30575 | Sixthly, God gives me abundance of the Creature: but what is it that makes the difference between me and others? |
A30575 | So 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? |
A30575 | So the Septuagint Translation, Where is your King( say they?) |
A30575 | So wert not thou of such a Familie? |
A30575 | So, doth God bring into great straights? |
A30575 | So, shall we leave our Oyl? |
A30575 | Spake, what? |
A30575 | Still mark how God urges this, when you come to fast; Is this the Fast that I require, to do thus and thus? |
A30575 | Strength: What strength, you will say? |
A30575 | Suppose we go on in the waies of death and perish, what shal God lose by it? |
A30575 | THEY were readie to say, Why do you thus blame us for our eager desire? |
A30575 | The Angels they excel in strength, the most excellent Creatures, and what, do they slight and disregard the Word of God? |
A30575 | The Greek thus, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A30575 | The Lyon hath roared, who will not tremble? |
A30575 | The Notes from the words are these: First, Those things that carnal hearts rest upon will vanish; Where are they, saith God, what''s become of them? |
A30575 | The Septuagint they turn the words, How shall I protect thee? |
A30575 | The old man forgetful of his yeers pursueth him flying, and crieth: My son, why fliest thou from me thy father, unarmed and old? |
A30575 | The ten Tribes might say, Doth God threaten us? |
A30575 | Then God is Love himself, he is the Element of Love; And whither should love go but up to the Element? |
A30575 | Then when any temptation comes to us to sin against God, Oh let us say, How shall I do this, and sin against God? |
A30575 | There is a time to love; when is the time? |
A30575 | There was a time that conscience was against it; how came you to get leave of your conscience? |
A30575 | There was none exalted him, but they followed their own Counsels and did what they list, yet, how shall I give thee up? |
A30575 | There''s such Religious men speak thus, and others that we account as Religious as they speak quite contrary; Is there any Religion in the world? |
A30575 | Therefore I will do a mervailous work among the People, even a mervailous work and a wonder;( What''s the mervailous work, what''s the wonder?) |
A30575 | Therfore, O you Saints of God, never be afraid of evil men, for ere long it will be demanded of them, where their Pomp, and Glory, and Pride is? |
A30575 | They are said to be strong- hearted, stiff hearted, but saith the holy Ghost, how weak is thy heart? |
A30575 | Thirdly, A Lyon is strong and crushes the whol compages of a mans bones at one crush; Alas man, what is he? |
A30575 | Thirdly, I come now to fit my self with these contentments, but what opportunities have I by these to do good more than before? |
A30575 | This is that the Lord threatens here; and why? |
A30575 | This seems plainly to be even the scope of this Charge, Is there iniquity in Gilead? |
A30575 | Thou hast( saith the text) defiled thy Sanctuaries( how?) |
A30575 | Thou, even thou art to be feared; and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? |
A30575 | Though Ephraim the yonger, yet when he got Authority in his hand, how imperious was he? |
A30575 | Though the affliction doth continue a great while, Will you patiently hold out to long- suffering, and that with joyfulness? |
A30575 | Thus saith the Lord, Shall they fall, and not arise? |
A30575 | True, I think such and such they are in the wrong, but what good will come of it if I do thus and thus? |
A30575 | Truly, I do not know a greater temptation to Atheism at this day than this is, for what will men think? |
A30575 | Twelfthly, If I destroy them, what glory shall I have? |
A30575 | Vnto all patience] It may be you have strength to bear some afflictions, you have some patience; But are you strengthened with all might? |
A30575 | Was it not free Grace, free Grace in in the kind of it? |
A30575 | Was not Esau Jacob''s brother, saith God? |
A30575 | Was not Esau Jacob''s brother, saith the Lord? |
A30575 | Was there ever times of provoking so as there are now? |
A30575 | Was this story to be a means to humble the people for their sins? |
A30575 | We can easily destroy our selves, but can we save our selves? |
A30575 | We reade of bands of Love, but what''s become of them? |
A30575 | We say sometimes of the Prelates, Oh the hand of God is against them; how they brought themselves into a snare? |
A30575 | We say to a child, Your father calls you, or to a servant, your master calls you, will you not answer? |
A30575 | Wel, here was Gods Word, But how was Gods Work? |
A30575 | Well, but though they be burdens, if they be truths, why should they not be urged? |
A30575 | Well, but wherein did God manifest that he did love Israel when he was a Child? |
A30575 | Well, do you bring a reproach upon God, upon his Name, upon Profession, upon his Saints? |
A30575 | Well, he prevail''d, but what''s this to this people of Israel? |
A30575 | Wert not thou such a ones brother, such a ones sister that remained wicked and ungodly, and it may be died so? |
A30575 | What advantage hath the Jew? |
A30575 | What are they but crums that the Master of the Familie casts to Dogs? |

A30575 | What follows in the 10. verse? |
A30575 | What had God spoken, or where had he spoken any thing? |

A30575 | What need hath God of us? |
A30575 | What oppression is there in Trading? |
A30575 | What people is there so great as this people that the Lord is so nigh unto in all that they call upon him for, saith Moses? |
A30575 | What prayer will then? |
A30575 | What saith the Psalmist? |
A30575 | What shall I do then? |
A30575 | What shall become of Samuel then? |
A30575 | What sins were greater than the sins of Jerusalem against Christ when he lived? |
A30575 | What then can Gilgal expect? |
A30575 | What then? |
A30575 | What was the special thing that God spake to Jacob when he found him at Bethel? |
A30575 | What were it for a drunken fellow to come and think to oppose but such an Army as we have that goes out of the City at this time? |
A30575 | What were they but Gods people? |
A30575 | What would follow? |
A30575 | What''s the matter that should make them thus? |
A30575 | What''s the reason our consciences do so misgive us, and that we are so afraid that the Lord will leave us to our selves? |
A30575 | What, Is this sweet, to be freed from outward bondage, and to have meat laid before us? |
A30575 | What, art thou his posterity? |
A30575 | What, can I think my anger to be so terrible to a Child, a Neighbor, a Servant? |
A30575 | What, doest thou think to harden thy self against God, and yet think to prosper? |
A30575 | What, is not Israel a Son? |
A30575 | What, is this the God that heretofore carried them as Eagles do their yong upon their wings, and nourished them as the Eagle nourisheth her yong ones? |
A30575 | What, such great things in us, and yet moves not God to cast us off, but still, How shall I cast thee off? |
A30575 | What, will you shew your selves so ingrateful to him for all the good he hath done to you, as to reject him, and his house, and family? |
A30575 | What, will you undertake such a thing as that, to deliver them from their sin? |
A30575 | When almost did you ever hear of a covetous man convinc''d? |
A30575 | When does God take away in wrath? |
A30575 | When he can stand out no longer, than he falls a lessening; It is no more than others do, and how should I maintain my family? |
A30575 | When the Reformation was first from Popery here, what a stir was there? |
A30575 | When we have been at the very pits brink, the Lord hath been often saying even concerning England, How shall I give thee up England? |

A30575 | Wilt not thou now love the Lord thy God? |
A30575 | Wilt thou see thine eyes upon that which is not? |
A30575 | Wilt thou, a poor worm, stand out against this God? |
A30575 | Would it have been a comfort to them to have known it? |

A30575 | Would you ever have thought to have liv''d to the time to have seen such a change in their spirits as at this day? |
A30575 | Yea but now, did not you behaue your selves proudly and stubbornly, and so make your service so much the more hard, by provoking your Governors? |

A30592 | BUt what was the ground that made Moses thus esteem reproaches? |
A30592 | BUt you will say, these arguments may move us to do it, and convince us we should do it, but how shall we do it? |
A30592 | Be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; as if he should say, Do you know whom you serve? |
A30592 | Be willing to be guided by the counsels of God: What do you think in your consciences are the counsels of God concerning you? |
A30592 | Before we go any further, me thinks the thoughts of these should raise our hearts: what do we here minding such poor empty things? |
A30592 | Behold( saith an Ancient) the world is troublesome, and yet it is loved, what would it be if it were peaceable? |
A30592 | Behold, I am vile, what shall I answer thee? |
A30592 | Behold, they whose judgement was not to drink of the cup, have assuredly drunken, and art tbou he that shall go altogether unpunished? |
A30592 | Blessed are they that shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God; But who are they? |
A30592 | Bonus es Domine, animae quaerenti; quid invenienti? |
A30592 | But are you shy of sufferings, and run away? |
A30592 | But how are the ways of wisdom the ways of pleasantness? |
A30592 | But how may we finde out the particular sin? |
A30592 | But how much more base is it, for people still to stick in the mire and dross, rather then to seek after these glorious things? |
A30592 | But how must we appear? |
A30592 | But how shall I know that my reproaches are the reproaches of Christ? |
A30592 | But how shall we joyn with any? |
A30592 | But how should we improve afflictions? |
A30592 | But how should we manifest our respect to those that are outwardly mean, that are gracious? |
A30592 | But is it possible not to revile again? |
A30592 | But is it said here the reproach of Christ? |
A30592 | But it may be said thirdly, Whither shall we go to any people, but we shall finde sin there as well as in another place? |
A30592 | But it may be said, A suffering condition is the joyful condition, why then should we thus bless God that we are freed from it? |
A30592 | But may not a man go to heaven without it? |
A30592 | But may we not presume to think that such great things belong to us? |
A30592 | But though it be his dwelling, Is it a dwelling that is lovely to him? |
A30592 | But what if I should come in now? |
A30592 | But what if that which thou callest hypocrisie, God account godliness? |
A30592 | But what is that uprightness, and singleness of heart that we are to walk withal? |
A30592 | But what shall we do to get a portion in those things that shall be eternal? |
A30592 | But when are we called? |
A30592 | But when helps are taken away, and the Spirit of God does absent it self, shall we fear then that we are not called? |
A30592 | But when is a work supernatural, so as I must have some comfortable hope, that it shall reach unto this supernatural reward? |
A30592 | But when we are about this argument, the glory of the Kingdom of God, Doest thou seek great things for thy self? |
A30592 | But where have we those that do labor to clear the innocency of those that do reproach them? |
A30592 | But wherein does the pleasantness of the ways of wisdom appear? |
A30592 | But wherein does the presence of God with his people appear more then with other people? |
A30592 | But who is a true Israelite? |
A30592 | But why does God thus suffer wicked men, to enjoy their pleasure thus in the ways of sin? |
A30592 | But will God stay here? |
A30592 | But you will say, wherein does it appear, and how comes it to pass, that Gods people do so esteem of their sufferings for Christ? |
A30592 | Can this stand with grace? |
A30592 | Canst thou be in any place where thou seest God dishonored, and be merry? |
A30592 | Christ cryes out, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
A30592 | Christ hath gloried in the sufferings he suffered for you, and why should you be afraid of sufferings for him? |
A30592 | Come, let us reason together; Is there not infinite reason for Gods ways more then those ways you have walked in? |
A30592 | Confes l. 4 Ecce, turbatus mun dus,& amatur; quid si tranquillus esset? |
A30592 | Consider, does this beseem the spirit of a Christian? |
A30592 | Could I be content to part with my blood, and couldst not thou be content to part with thy lusts? |
A30592 | Cur cae quae ad usum diuturna esse non possunt, ad supplicium diuturna deposces? |
A30592 | Cur impi ● letātur cur luxuriantur? |
A30592 | Die queso, si quis solē tenebrarum autorem existimet, soline an sibi detraxit? |
A30592 | Do not you tear the flesh of one another by reproaches? |
A30592 | Do you not apprehend Heaven after a carnal and natural way, when you hear speaking of Crowns, and dignity, and happiness, and glory, and the like? |
A30592 | Do you see one walking in the ways of God? |
A30592 | Do you think Christ came to dye, and shed his precious blood to bring men into worser conditions then before? |
A30592 | Do you think reproaches from you will take off their hearts from all the good they had experience of Gods ways? |
A30592 | Do you think that God will let his people sink in their sufferings for him? |
A30592 | Do you think the sufferings you are like to meet withal in Gods ways, are more grievous to you, then your sins are to him? |
A30592 | Do you think them worthy of regard, if it were not for trouble and affliction? |
A30592 | Do your souls ask this question indeed in the earnestness of them? |
A30592 | Does God look at any man the worse for want of these things? |
A30592 | Does not the Scripture speak of the excellency, and the glory, and the power of the grace of God? |
A30592 | Draw near hither ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and the whore, against whom do ye sport your selves? |
A30592 | Eleventhly, What honor should God have in the world? |
A30592 | Eternal life is begun in this world in all that shall be saved; therefore think with your selves, What seeds of eternity have I put into my soul? |
A30592 | Fifthly, is not the inheritance of the Saints, that kingdom of glory, that incorruptible undefiled crown that is reserved for them, riches? |
A30592 | Fifthly, the great use that they are of in the world; What use is a poor man or woman of, that lives in a poor smoak- hole, that no man regards? |
A30592 | Fifthly, what are the apprehensions that you have of this reward? |
A30592 | Fifthly, what shall become then of ungodly and wicked men? |
A30592 | First, are you willing to suffer reproaches, and to glory in them? |
A30592 | First, would you know whether you shall have this Recompence of reward? |
A30592 | For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord; How was it proved they hated knowledge? |
A30592 | For ye shewed kindeness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt: Who were these Kenites? |
A30592 | Formoso quomodo haereris, qui sic amplecteris foedum? |
A30592 | Fourthly, do you glory in the low condition you are put into for Christ? |
A30592 | Fourthly, you come by this means to adde your sin to his sin: What, is not God dishonored enough by his reviling, but must you adde to Gods dishonor? |
A30592 | Gather not my soul with sinners: Would you not have your souls gathered with sinners hereafter? |
A30592 | God did not onely speak, and said there should be a blessing, but spake in a commanding way; There: Where is that? |
A30592 | God does not judge of men in regard of outwards; what are outwards before the Lord? |
A30592 | God in the Ordinances? |
A30592 | God says, The froward mouth he hates: Now if you have any love you should think thus, This poor man what hath he done? |
A30592 | God will not take the wicked by the hand; so it is in some of your books; Why then will you? |
A30592 | Gods people ought so to walk, as to gain respect from the consciences of men; Do you so walk as to gain any such honorable respect? |
A30592 | Guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory: Would you be brought to glory? |
A30592 | Had you ever any experimental knowledge of the evil of sin, or any good in the ways of God? |
A30592 | Haeccine est fides tua? |
A30592 | Hast any cause to repent thee? |
A30592 | Hath God given you a heart to make choice of his ways? |
A30592 | Hath God nothing else to communicate to the creature? |
A30592 | Hath God thus spoken peace to thy soul? |
A30592 | Hath my peace grown upon good grounds, so as it may- hold? |
A30592 | Hath not God given you immortal souls? |
A30592 | Hath not God made you for a higher end, then to eat, and drink, and play? |
A30592 | Hath not the Lord been pleased to bring you into the honorable estate of sonship? |
A30592 | Have you heard a voyce from heaven, saying, This is the way, walk in it? |
A30592 | Have you made Moses Choice? |
A30592 | He hath made me also a by- word of the people: Job was a godly man, and yet he was made a by- word: What then? |
A30592 | He instances in Sampson for strength, and yet what a contemptible end had he? |
A30592 | He instances likewise in Kingdoms; the Chaldaean, Persian, Graecian, Roman, how soon were they gone? |
A30592 | Here is faith called for, and why should not our faith go beyond reason to rectifie reason, as reason rectifies sense? |
A30592 | His visage was so marred more then any mans, and his form more then the sons of men: what then, is there none therefore that shall prize him? |
A30592 | How are the dreadful threatnings of God, and the revelation of Gods wrath scorned in the world? |
A30592 | How are we to set up the name of Christ? |
A30592 | How canst thou trust God with thy soul, thy eternal estate? |
A30592 | How did all that never heard of this way? |
A30592 | How do they know? |
A30592 | How does grace conduce to the comfortable life of Gods people? |
A30592 | How far are you from resisting unto blood? |
A30592 | How few wil now improve such interest in great ones, such opportunities for the relieving the persecuted Servants of God? |
A30592 | How great is it before Angels then, and before God himself? |
A30592 | How is that, says he? |
A30592 | How lamentable is the hearing of these things unto nice and curious women? |
A30592 | How lightly doest thou regard all the faithfulness, the mercy, goodness, wisdom, power of God, working for his people in their suffering conditions? |
A30592 | How long since was his kindeness shewed? |
A30592 | How long will you turn my glory into shame? |
A30592 | How long ye simple ones will ye love simplicity? |
A30592 | How many draw all their substance thorow their throats, and their belly? |
A30592 | How many hath God cast off? |
A30592 | How many thousands perish, because they are offended at the mean, afflicted, persecuted estate of Christ in this life? |
A30592 | How much more miserable is it for one to be in the form of a man, and to have the minde of a beast, yea, of a wilde beast? |
A30592 | How much more should the obtaining of this glorious recompence of reward, put heart into us to endure any difficulty? |
A30592 | How shall the hearts of the Saints be taken with that eternal Supper of the Lamb? |
A30592 | How shall we carry on the work of God pleasantly? |
A30592 | How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? |
A30592 | How shall we stop their mouthes? |
A30592 | How sore was the bondage of the Israelites in Egypt? |
A30592 | How sweet and delightful is the end of wisdom? |
A30592 | How sweet and pleasant are the ways of wisdom then? |
A30592 | How vain then is mans heart, in being set upon such vain things? |
A30592 | How will the Spirit of God plead against you? |
A30592 | I account all things in the world as dross and dung, or dogs meat; and will this satisfie you? |
A30592 | I am Jesus of Nazareth; why does he say, Jesus of Nazareth? |
A30592 | I am walking here, and compassed in the garden that is mine enemies, and what if he meet me here? |
A30592 | I answer, Are your hearts serious in asking this question? |
A30592 | I appeal to thee, Does thy pleasantness carry thee on more sweetly in the ways of Religion? |
A30592 | I had workings of Spirit then, what are become of them? |
A30592 | I may say to some, as Jonadab said to Amnon, Why art thou lean from day to day, being the Kings Son? |
A30592 | I remember a speech of Jerome upon that, Blessed are you when men speak evil of you, and revile you; says he, Who would not be willing to suffer? |
A30592 | I the Lord do keep it, I will water it every moment, lest any hurt it; I will keep it night and day: How full is this? |
A30592 | I urge it upon you as in the name of God, and answer in your secret thoughts, What are your hearts upon? |
A30592 | I who have given so much pleasure to the flesh, would God accept of me, and regard me? |
A30592 | IF you say, How shall I know how it shall be with me for eternity? |
A30592 | IT is true, will some say, there are glorious things prepared for some of the children of men; but whether may we look after them? |
A30592 | If Heaven must be so glorious to entertain the Saints, how glorious are those for whom heaven is prepared? |
A30592 | If a condemned man had two or three days granted him, that he might sue out his pardon, were that a time for pleasure? |
A30592 | If a man be going to be crowned, and to be glorified, and those that do not know him, as he goes contemn him, what cares he? |
A30592 | If after every intemperate draught, there should be a draught of scalding lead poured down, how grievous would it be? |
A30592 | If children be casting mire and dirt upon the faces of one another, how unbeseeming is it? |
A30592 | If company should come to draw them to drinking, and uncleanness, would they yield then? |
A30592 | If grace be pleasant, how pleasant is glory? |
A30592 | If he comes with this temptation, Why will you go on in a singular way from others? |
A30592 | If it be done thus to the green tree, what shall be done to the dry? |
A30592 | If men do so much for the things of the world, why should we be backward in doing for Heaven? |
A30592 | If the footmen have wearied thee, how canst thou contend with horses? |
A30592 | If the neather springs be so sweet, what will the upper be? |
A30592 | If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinners appear? |
A30592 | If there be so much content to the minde in viewing the things here, what content will there be to the minde in beholding God, and his glory? |
A30592 | If this one Ordinance be so blessed, what a blessing then is the enjoyment of all, and that in a right way? |
A30592 | If this succession be so honorable, so happy, how honorable, how happy doth the succession of Religion from Father to Son, make Families to be? |
A30592 | If you ask why the reproaches of Gods people are called the reproaches of Christ? |
A30592 | If you had never so much filth upon you for the present, being there is so much honor to come, what need you to care? |
A30592 | If you love your bodies, be godly: if you did believe these things were so, would not these make you love godliness? |
A30592 | In heaven there is the perfection of our natures, the image of God shall be renewed; now is the image of God begun? |
A30592 | In such profuse expences, for the satisfying of the flesh, how many do glory, as if it were the highest happiness attainable upon the earth? |
A30592 | In the second place; What infinite cause have we to bless the Name of God that gives us such pleasant ways unto glory? |
A30592 | Indeed if they had no higher ends then your base ends, you might say so; a base hypocrite what need he be so strict? |
A30592 | Is Christ notwithstanding all his reproaches dear and precious to us? |
A30592 | Is any man afflicted? |
A30592 | Is it God that you enjoy in the creature? |
A30592 | Is it not a riddle to you? |
A30592 | Is it not more like thou shouldst have pleasure when thou art reconciled to God, then when thou art an enemy? |
A30592 | Is it not time to look about me? |
A30592 | Is it possible that the chief contentment of a creature should be in sinning against an infinite God? |
A30592 | Is it that spiritual and supernatural good that is in Heaven? |
A30592 | Is my life such as may be said to be worthy of God, and that God that hath called me unto his kingdom and glory? |
A30592 | Is not mean wholsom fare rather to be desired? |
A30592 | Is not our way of Religion a greater inheritance to us, then an inheritance of a thousand pounds a year? |
A30592 | Is not plain russet or leather better that is free? |
A30592 | Is not this a mercenary thing, and hypocrisie? |
A30592 | Is not this one thing that is spoken of amongst the rest, that is but for a season? |
A30592 | Is there not cause of suspition? |
A30592 | Is there nothing else for you to seek after? |
A30592 | Is this the way to clear your selves, by defiling your selves more? |
A30592 | It is a notable speech that Ambrose hath; Why will you make that which can not be eternal for use, eternal for punishment? |
A30592 | It is an excellent speech of Bernard, Good art thou, O Lord, to the soul that seeks thee; what art thou then to the soul that findes thee? |
A30592 | It is not yet Six thousand years since God did any thing out of himself, and what is six thousand years to eternity? |
A30592 | It is true, godly men may have them, but never as their portion, God hath afforded you better pleasures, hath he not reserved better things for you? |
A30592 | It may be asked, Why not the reproach of God the Father, or the reproach of the Holy Ghost? |
A30592 | It was the sad expression of Lysimachus, who had lost his Kingdom for one draught of water, For what a short pleasure have I made my self a servant? |
A30592 | Iudgement must begin at the house of God, and if it first begin at us, what shall the end of them be, that obey not the Gospel of God? |
A30592 | Knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? |
A30592 | Let the name of God be precious to you: Is it not a precious thing to live so, as to bring honor to God? |
A30592 | Let us eat and drink, to morrow we shall dye: Why do you say, to morrow? |
A30592 | Memor esto vinculorū Pauli,& vide quam sit absurdū illum esse in vinculis te verò deliciari: deliciarum concupiscentia prehenderis? |
A30592 | Might you not have gathered from thence, that there was another time a coming? |
A30592 | NOw what use should we make of this difference? |
A30592 | Ninthly, How little love is there in thine heart to God, when thou art so shy of any thing to be suffered for God? |
A30592 | Ninthly, often call your self to account after the affliction is over; What is become of it? |
A30592 | Noune gravius omnibus foetet sepulchris? |
A30592 | Now I appeal to thee, Canst thou behold the face of God in righteousness? |
A30592 | Now consider, what life have I? |
A30592 | Now do you finde this? |
A30592 | Now if you have any conviction at all, tell me, Are you willing to enter into the ways of God? |
A30592 | Now shall the reproach of an evil tongue take away the comfort of a godly heart that hath so great honors? |
A30592 | Now what a mercy of God is this to stop our way, though it be by filth? |
A30592 | O no, but those whom God honors, let us honor; What rule can we have better for our honoring of men, then that honor that our God puts upon them? |
A30592 | O say they, who are they that favor this way? |
A30592 | O that God would fasten these thoughts upon you, when you are in the midst of your delights; But will this hold? |
A30592 | O that the fear of God might be upon you, because of the reproach of your adversaries: Is Christ dear to you? |
A30592 | O what is reserved for me then? |
A30592 | O what will you do in the day of your visitation? |
A30592 | Of what little account are all these gracious blessed promises of the Lord, for their encouragement herein? |
A30592 | Or, have not I heard the reproaches of others, and been delighted with them? |
A30592 | Ought he not to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory? |
A30592 | Our condition is such, that we must suffer one way or another, while we live here; Is it not better then to suffer for God then any other way? |
A30592 | People talk of Gods mercy, but how few ever had a spiritual sight of Gods mercy? |
A30592 | Pliny says, there was a miraculous example of one Xenophilus, who lived a hundred and five years without sickness: But what is this to eternity? |
A30592 | Psalm, brings in God, rebuking a discontented Christian, thus: What is thy faith? |
A30592 | Qu is post hujusmodi vocem tentari se non sinat? |
A30592 | Qualis erit splendor animarum cum solis splendorem habebit lux ● orporum? |
A30592 | Quid alibi poscis quod alibi debetur? |
A30592 | Saint John had a little glimpse of the representation of Christ, and how glorious is it set forth? |
A30592 | Say with thy Savior, Shall not I drink of that cup my Father hath given me to drink? |
A30592 | Says Ahasuerus, What shall be done to the man whom the King will honor? |
A30592 | Says Calvin upon this argument, What are we poor worms, full of vanities and lyes, that we should be called to be maintainers of the truth? |
A30592 | Says Chrysostom, When you hear any reproach you, you should think, have not I reproached others? |
A30592 | Says Seneca, He is to be ashamed that does unjustly, and shall you be ashamed that are innocent? |
A30592 | Secondly, are you begotten unto the hope of these glorious things? |
A30592 | Secondly, because they are chained together; as the Papists will say, there is no such union between others, as between us; What is the ground? |
A30592 | Secondly, is not the truth of God a rich jewel, a precious jewel? |
A30592 | Secondly, what are you? |
A30592 | Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what maner of persons ought ye to be in all maner of holy conversation and godliness? |
A30592 | Seekest thou great things for thy self? |
A30592 | Seventhly, How vile is the unbelief of thy heart, who darest not trust God with thy name, estate, liberty? |
A30592 | Seventhly, if there be so much good in this way, labor to improve it to the utmost: Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool? |
A30592 | Shall eating, and drinking, and a little pleasure here, put heart into men to suffer hardships, to endure difficulties? |
A30592 | Shall therefore this Ordinance be accused as the cause of dissention? |
A30592 | Shall your hearts stir when you hear Gods wrath, and when you hear of Gods grace shall not your hearts stir then? |
A30592 | Shall your sins have a greater testimony of respect to them from you, then God himself? |
A30592 | Si adeò dulce flere prote, quàm dulce erit gaudere de te? |
A30592 | So it may be said to an Apostata, Poor creature, from whence comest thou, and whither goest thou? |
A30592 | So seeing these things are so that are revealed, What shall we say to these things? |
A30592 | So the pleasure of the eye, what is it but the visive spirit that is in the eye? |
A30592 | So the ways of God that are so glorious, to make them serviceable to your base ends, what dishonor is put upon the ways of God in this? |
A30592 | So thou doest in the way of sin: That thy chief contentment should be in incensing the wrath of an infinite Deity against thy soul? |
A30592 | So you may say to every temptation, to the ways of sin, What, can my sin give me Heaven, and glory, and immortality? |
A30592 | So, why is it that your hearts are set upon the delight of the creature? |
A30592 | St. Augustine in his Confessions hath this notable expression: How sweet was it to me of a sudden, to be without those sweet vanities? |
A30592 | Suppose an Angelical nature were put upon us, what a change would there be? |
A30592 | Suppose reproaches had such shame in them as you think they have, can not God put honor upon them? |
A30592 | Suppose you have an estate encreasing more then another, what will you do with it? |
A30592 | Take heed of such things as may hinder that good you may have in communion with the Saints: What are they? |
A30592 | Tenthly, Did you never suffer affliction in your ways of sin? |
A30592 | That thy chief contentment should be in departing from God? |
A30592 | That thy chief contentment should be in putting thy self under the everlasting curse, that bindes thee over to eternal death? |
A30592 | That thy chief contentment should be in that, which being committed, if ever it comes to be pardoned, must cost more then Heaven and Earth is worth? |
A30592 | The Heathen could say, Believe me, true joy is no light thing; but what windy frothy contents are these pleasures to the flesh? |
A30592 | The last Use of all, is, If the ways of wisdom be ways of pleasantness, what is the end of wisdom? |
A30592 | The pleasures that you speak of, what are they? |
A30592 | The renewing of this daily, and setling of this daily upon the heart, what might it do? |
A30592 | The three Children in the fiery furnace with Gods presence were happy? |
A30592 | There are none but their hearts are set upon some good that they apprehend to be good; Now what is that good? |
A30592 | Therefore now do you ask, Who shall have Heaven? |
A30592 | They hated that truth of God, and that which should bring them into the ways of God, and guide them in it; How does that appear? |
A30592 | They have glorious priviledges; What are they? |
A30592 | They think the matters of Religion are but niceties, and and to venture the loss of so much for such niceties, what a foolish thing is it? |
A30592 | Thirdly, Wouldst thou willingly have God reject all thy services, and account them as abominable to him? |
A30592 | Thirdly, all for God: Why then should not God have the glory of all his own way? |
A30592 | Thirdly, is it not a rich thing to enjoy communion with God? |
A30592 | Thirdly, there is a mixture of a curse with them: What good is there in having a brave sute with the plague in it? |
A30592 | Thirdly, thou who art so shy of suffering, mayest be forced to suffer in spight of thy heart; and what a sad thing will that be to thee? |
A30592 | Thirdly, to the ways of godliness that leads to all this: great and blessed are the things of the Kingdom of Heaven; from whence is all this? |
