A02590I doe most willingly( as what good hart doth not?)
A02590If this be the rod of children, Oh, what shall be the Scorpions for his enemies?
A02590If we walke not answerable to so great a light, what can we looke for, but vtter darkenesse?

A02590Would we then auoyde the vnspeakeable horror of this wofull condition?
A02590Would wee find the bed of our sicknesse and death, comforted with the sweete testimony of an heauenly peace betwixt God and our soules?
A02590Wouldst thou pray with effect at home?
A02590Yea, wherein is it not greater?
A02590Yea, why are we apalled, when we see the measures of the sonnes of Anak; the spirituall wickednesses in heauenly places?

A02590nay, What doth God care for the worke of a Lapidary, or Painter, or Mason?
A02584Alas, poore man, at what distance doth hee see us?
A02584Alas, poore soules, doe they not know, that Hypocrites, leud persons, reprobates, are no lesse members of the true visible Church?
A02584And how doth S. Paul call that Church, wherein Antichrist( hee saith) shall sit, the Temple of God?
A02584As those friendly souldiers therefore, of old, said to their fellowes( 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?)
A02584But fearing the true reproch cast by Iob in his friends teeth, a Will you speake wickedly for God, and talke deceitfully for him?
A02584But, doe you not say, It is a true visible Church?
A02584Doe you not yeeld some kinde of communion with these clients of Antichrist?
A02584For the former; Hee that saith a theefe is truly a man, doth hee therein fauour that theefe?
A02584For who perceiues not, that your Lordship leaues no more to Rome, then our best Diuines euer since the Reformation haue granted?
A02584He that saith, a diseased, dropsied, dying bodie, is a true( though corrupt) body, doth he favour that disease, or that living carcasse?
A02584If we durst have taken their part in these, this breach had not beene; Now who can but say that wee must hate their evill, and allow their good?
A02584Is the sea- weed ever the lesse vile, because it is dragd vp together with good fish?
A02584Loe; say they, we are of the true visible Church; this is enough for us; why are we forsaken, why are we presecuted, why are we solicited to change?
A02584Neither bee you troubled with that idle exprobration of a Prebendary retribution; who would care for a contumely so void of truth?
A02584Therefore he said vnto them, p Where are the Letters of your mothers diuorcement, whom I haue put away?
A02584To what purpose did the Iewes crie, The Temple of the Lord, whiles they despighted the Lord of that Temple?
A02584What blacke Art hath raised up this spirit of Aerius from his pit?
A02584What is, if this be not, favour?
A02584What need I vrge this?
A02584What speake we of?
A02584or where is the subject of our question?
A02584what gaine they by this but a deeper damnation?
A02584who sees not that there is a morall trueness, and a naturall?
A02584why fight we?
A02568& c. Ego forensibus causis affixus sum,& c. Vxorem alo& liberos, familiae curamgero& c. Qui montium vertices occuparunt,& c. Quid ais homo?
A02568?
A02568A Religion, that vtterly ouerthrowes the perfection of Christs satisfaction: If all be not paid, how hath he satisfied?
A02568Alas you can not be condemned without our sorrow& shame: What should we do?
A02568As also the signes, miracles, histories are not they knowne and manifest to euery man?
A02568But you will say, What if a iust Prelate commaund his spirituall sonnes, to pray or fast for the departed, and those sonnes be vniust?
A02568Dominus narrabit,& quomodo narrabit?
A02568He that giues you right to the succession of this claime, giues you such an example, as what Father euer gaue a Son?
A02568How could you choose but be in loue with this superstition, Magicke, blasphemy practised, and maintained by the heads of your Church?
A02568I answere according to all our Doctors, that he may; But what if he be compelled to sweare?
A02568If temporall punishments in purgatory be yet due, how is all paid?
A02568In the meane time what spirituall phrensie hath ouertaken you, that you can finde no beauty, but in this monster of errors?
A02568Inter nos autem& Donatistas quaestio est, vbi sit ecclesia, quid ergo facturi sumus?
A02568May he say that he knowes not of it?
A02568Non verbo, sedscriptura, in cuius scriptura?
A02568Not by word but by writing; In whose writing?
A02568Sed fac quod Iudex aut praelatus ex malitia exigat a me iuramentum, an sciam in confessione?
A02568So be it: Yea so it will be: how can it be that so many and faithfull prayers of all Gods faithfull ones through the world should haue other successe?
A02568THere is yet one question amongst our Diuines: For what be those remainders of sinne, which are done away by this anointing?
A02568The Lord will declare; and how will he declare?
A02568Their numbers perhaps, and our handfuls?
A02568We can but intreat, perswade, protest, mourn,& gage our souls for yours; if these auaile not, who can remedy that which will perish?
A02568What can you plead yet more for your change?
A02568What gaine we then?
A02568What is it then, that could thus bewitch you to forsake the comely and heauenly truth of God, and to dote vpon this beastly strumpet?
A02568What sayest thou O man?
A02568What then could stir you?
A02568Who is there to whom all is not manifest, which is written in the Gospel?
A02568You heard all the world was theirs, scarce any corner ours: How could you but suspect a few?
A02568and if so many be acknowledged, thinke how many there are that lurke in secret, and will not be confessed?
A02568and if these must be paid by vs, how are they satisfied by him?
A02568shall we seeke her in our owne words, or in the words of her head, the Lord Iesus Christ?
A02568to change your Religion, for a ridiculous, sensuall, cruell, irreligious faction?
A02537Alas, how little is this regarded in the world?
A02537Alas, what shall wee thinke, or say of the condition of those men, which neuer follow any other aduice than what they take of their owne heart?
A02537And can the heart be wiser than it selfe?
A02537And what certainty, what safety can it be for a man to liue vnacquainted with himselfe?
A02537Could they be so loth to possesse it?
A02537Could they so sleight heauen if they beleeued it?
A02537Could they thinke much of a little painfull goodnesse to purchase an eternity of happinesse?
A02537Doe the Disciples miraculously speake all the tongues of Babel?
A02537Durst they sin if they were perswaded of an hell?
A02537He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
A02537Hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he vnderstand?
A02537How camest thou in hither?
A02537How many millions thinke they walke fairely on to heauen, when indeed they are in the broad way that leads to destruction?
A02537In the first kinde; What hath not the fond heart of man dared to arrogate to it selfe?
A02537Is a man conscionable?
A02537Lord, haue not we heard thee preach in out streets?
A02537Others, first: How many doe we take for honest and sound Christians, who yet are but errant hypocrites?
A02537Our Sauiour hath bidden vs be wise as Serpents; What should bee wise but the heart?
A02537They are full of new wine: Doe they preach Christs Kingdome?
A02537What comfort can you finde in publike seruice to the state against offenders, if you should carry a fraudulent and wicked heart in your owne bosomes?
A02537What needs all this waste?
A02537Would the Israelites be deuout?
A02537Ye haue seene the fashion of this deceit; cast now your eies vpon the subiect: And whom doth it then deceiue?
A02537durst they buy a minute of pleasure with euerlasting torments?
A02537haue not we cast out Deuils in thy name?
A02537he is a foole in a Morris: Doth Saint Paul discourse of his heauenly Vision?
A02537he is an Hypocrite: Is he conformable?
A02537he is rudely vnciuill: Is he wisely insinuatiue?
A02537he is vnconscionable: Is he plaine dealing?
A02537hee hath a thousand quirks to cozen both law and conscience: Is a Simoniacall Patron disposed to make a good match of his peoples soules?
A02537they are idle; Doth Dauid daunce for ioy before the Arke?
A02537they are seditious; The resurrection?
A02537〈 … 〉 wisdome of the heart remedie the craft of the heart?
A53386All this was but duty in him to doe, and can it be lesse then dutie in us?
A53386As for the gaine and advantage I mentiond, can there be any greater gaine than Salvation?
A53386But how may they doe that?
A53386But now how did Luther carry himselfe?
A53386Concerning the Point of Praedestination, how doth the Church of Christ groane under the burden of a number of huge& high- swolne Volumes?
A53386For indeed what a small and slender hedge is it, which now divide ▪ s and part''s us?
A53386For what can be imagined more unequall, than that one man''s crime, or commendation, should be imputed to all?
A53386How much more prudently did that blessed Martyr and most learned Father of his Times, S. Cyprian behave himselfe?
A53386How much truer and more charitable is that opinion of a grave and moderate Divine?
A53386In such a multitude of mysteries, who can chuse but admire that there should not be above one or two Points wherein they did not fully agree?
A53386Let us view a comparison betwixt things humane& divine, although what similitude can there bee''twixt Earth and Heaven?
A53386Likewise also that of the Apostle, what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols?
A53386Now then how extreme faulty in this kinde Divines of both sides have beene, who is there that see''s not?
A53386Now who is there that doe''s not daily solicite God for the flourishing and peaceable estate of his Church?
A53386Shall they breath out nothing but mildnesse and sweetnesse, and wee nought but rage and fury?
A53386Thus were matters carried amongst thē: and why should not We, putting on bowells of meeknesse, tread the steps of these Worthies?
A53386What are these to Salvation?
A53386What make Schoole- nicities amongst Church- Confessions?
A53386What reward shall bee given or done unto thee, thou false tongue?
A53386Why doe not we in like manner now at last begin to be wise?
A53386Why then such strifes and contentions about words?
A53386was he so farre possest with prejudice and passion, as to disdaine all commerce and societie with our men?
A45174And why is it ranked in the style of Faith, Repentance, Baptisme,& c. whose use and practice must be perpetuall?
A45174As for any command, it is as far to seek, as either of the other: What Scripture can be pretended to carry the least colour of a mandate?
A45174Can it be, that Baptisme should be ever out of date?
A45174Can the Doctrine of the Resurrection from the dead, and of the last Judgment, be ever unseasonable, and super annated?
A45174Can there be any time wherein Faith, and Repentance from dead works, shall not be necessary, both for knowledge and practice?
A45174Dare any Christian presume to say, that the Apostle, the great and wise Master- builder of the Church, mistook the foundation whereon he built?
A45174Faine would I know what they can say to this irrefragable text?
A45174Have we any just ground of reason to forbear, and discontinue the use of it?
A45174Have we any warrant for banishing it out of the Church of God?
A45174Have we lesse need of Grace, or Confirmation then our Forefathers?
A45174How have we been oppressed with the throngs of the multitude, striving for the first admission?
A45174How have we been tired with the importunity of Suitors, impatient of either deniall, or delay?
A45174How is the practice of it cryed down, and hooted at, as meerly superstitious and Antichristian?
A45174Insomuch, as we have been forced to call for the help of Officers to our rescue from that well- meant impetuousnesse?
A45174Is there not as much occasion and need of the use of it, as ever?
A45174Or, are we lesse qualified to performe this gracious act then our Predecessours?
A45174Or, dare any presumptuous soul single this one Article from the rest, as meerly temporary, when all the rest are granted to be of eternall use?
A45174Or, is the power of Gods Ordinance abated, and now languisheth with Age?
A45174Was not the Doctrine and practice of it held so usefull, as that it was singled out for one of the Principles of Christian Religion?
A45174Was there not such a thing, in the Apostolick times, as the Imposition of hands?
A45174Was this only a temporary Institution, soon after to be abrogated?
A45174What a willing forgetfulnesse of it?
A45174What if we can not second our Imposition of hands with sensible wonders as the Apostles did?
A45174What need was there then to trouble the heads, and to clog the Catechisme of Christian novices with a vanishing, and now already- gasping Ceremony?
A45174Where shall we look for the consignation with the crosse in the forehead?
A45174Who can but wonder at this strange partiality?
A45174With what bold and sinfull ignorance do too many of the promiscuous multitude thrust themselves upon Gods table?
A45174Yea rather on the contrary, how odious is the very name of it grown to the ears of those, who professe the strictest godlinesse?
A45174for the box on the ear given to the confirmed, with the rest of the complements of that pretendedly- Sacramentall action?
A71323And we d, and burie, and make Christen- soules?
A71323Both good things ill, and ill things well: all one?

A68128And must we therefore being Christian soules, needes bee cast out of the lap of the Church?
A68128Atqui, Concilium fecit hoc insuper Oecumenicum Quodnam vero?

A68128But ought these things thus to be done?
A68128Did vve ever rage vvith fire and sword against the Papall faith?
A68128Doe wee thinke that this will bee found a just cause of deadly warre, or of a Massacre at the tribunall of the great Iudge?
A68128Eccui vnquam capitale fuit hoc miseré hallucinantis conscientiae crimen?
A68128Euge, Petri vmbra, numquid hi tibi Malchi videntur, quibus dum aures praecidere voluisti, levi errore in guttura incidisti?

A68128Is this all the matter why the stall and shambles, are all the provision your Holinesse makes for such Animals as vs?
A68128Must we being throwne downe to hell by the thunderbolt of a curse, there burne for ever?
A68128Must we forthwith be delivered vp to bee devoured by fire and sword?

A0256614. what should the net doe now in the ship?
A0256637, Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, Men and brethren what shall we doe?
A02566Against neglect of Diuine Seruice; yet how are they sleighted?
A02566And why doenot we follow Peter in the same steppes wherein Peter followed Christ, and Christ his fore- runner, and his fore- runner the Prophets?
A02566But in the fourth generation, they shall come hither againe; when is that?
A02566Can there be a greater sinne then robbing of God?
A02566Can there be better lawes against wilfull Recusancy, against Symony, against Sacriledge?
A02566Can there bee a better Law made for the restraint of too too common oathes?
A02566Can there possibly be better Lawes, then have in our times beene enacted, against drunkennesse?
A02566Deus, omen,& c. If folly, if villanie bee committed in our Israel, it is not for euery man to be an Officer; Who made thee a Iudge?
A02566For the multitude, where is the man that makes true conscience of any the Lawes of his God?
A02566Honorable& beloued, how should we be humbled vnder the hand of our God, in the sense of our many, great, bold and lawlesse sinnes?
A02566How commonly doe we cry out of those querulous Michaiahs, that are still prophesying euill to vs, and not good?
A02566I dare say, none but heauen could afford better; what a pleasing spectacle was this anguish of their wounded soules?
A02566Indeed, what reason is there to hope or to plead for an immunity; If wee share in the worke, why should wee not take part of the wages?
A02566Is not euery Tauern a stye of such swine?
A02566Is not euery street indented with their shamefull staggerings?
A02566Is not this( besides all the rest) the sinne of the present Romish generation?
A02566Is there not now as much spent in wanton smoake, as our honest forefathers spent in substantiall hospitality?
A02566Is this sight now any newes to vs?
A02566Lord what is becomne of the successe of thy Gospel?
A02566Lord whither will this presumption grow?
A02566Neither doe they more exceed in number, then magnitude; Can there be a greater sinne then Idolatry?
A02566Nothing?
A02566Now, what need I waste the time in dehorting your Noble and Christian ingenuity from participation of the Epidemicall sinnes of a froward generation?
A02566Oh foolish sinners, shall yee liue here alwayes; care ye not for your soules; is there not an hell that gapes for your stubborne impenitence?
A02566Oh when, when shall our eyes be blessed with so happy a prospect?
A02566Oh, what sweet Musick was this to the Apostles eare?
A02566Salomon was a wise man, and he sayes, Say not thou, what is the cause that the former dayes were better then these?
A02566To beginne with the former; what is a generation?
A02566WHo knowes not that Simon Peter was a Fisher?
A02566What auailes it that children are brought to the birth, if there want a midwifry to deliuer them?
A02566What is an vntoward generation?
A02566What sackcloth, what ashes can be enough for vs?
A02566When the fish was caught, Christ sayes, Draw vp againe, what should the net doe now in the Sea?
A02566Who hath beleeued our report, or to whom is the arm ● of the Lord reuealed?
A02566Who should tell the times of their sinnes, if wee be silent?
A02566Would we then thoroughly quit our selues of our froward generation?
A02566Would you thinke that Saint Luke hath giuen mee the diuision of this, whether Text, or, sermon of Saint Peter?
A02566against the lawlesse wandring of lazie vagabonds; yet, how full are our streets, how empty our Correction- houses?
A02566and if euery man violate all the lawes of God, what do all put together?
A02566are your liues filthy?
A02566how are they eluded by fraudulent euasions?
A02566how doth bribery& corruption smother these offences, as if the sinnes of men serued onely to enrich couetous Officers?
A02566no man will so much as say with the Iewes, What haue I done, or with Saint Peters auditors, what shall I doe?
A02566not a soule caught?
A02566to speake a word in season; what should I presume to put into your hands, these apples of gold, with pictures of siluer?
A02566to what vse is the water deriued from the cesterne, into the pipes, if the cocke be not turned?
A02566what is an vntoward generation?
A02566where, or when are they executed?
A02566who vrges, who payes that iust mulct?
A02566why doe you slander the time?
A02547& where had our deliuerance bin without him?
A02547Alas it is euen too little for God; what doe wee thinke of taking an Inmate into this cottage?
A02547And first, why should it not be our perpetuall glorie and reioicing, that we were her subiects?
A02547And if the Peace- maker both doth blesse and is blessed; how should we blesse him, and blesse God for him, and hold our selues blessed in him?
A02547And( as the Oath of the Roman souldiours ranne) how deare and precious should the life of our Caesar bee to vs, aboue al earthly things?
A02547Are they persecuted?
A02547Are they resisted?
A02547Are they stung to death?
A02547But how?
A02547But what shall bee the iudgement?
A02547But where had beene our peace, or this freedome of the Gospell, without our Deliuerance?
A02547Did they want a guide?
A02547Did they want a shelter?
A02547Did they want bread?
A02547Did they want meate to their bread?
A02547Did they want way?
A02547Doe they want a law?

A02547Durst wee be Christians at Church, Mammonists at home, if we feared him?
A02547Durst wee mocke God with a formall flourish of that, which our heart tels vs wee are not, if wee feared him?

A02547How would he that( as this day) when we feared a tempest, gaue vs an happie calme, preuent a tempest in our calme when wee feare not?
A02547If we see not the worth of our King, how shall we be thankefull to God that gaue him?
A02547If wee fear''d the Lord, durst we dally with his name, durst wee teare it in pieces?
A02547May wee not well say of the heart, as Lot of Zoar, Is it not a little one?
A02547Neuer had England more learned Bishops, and Doctors; which of them euer returned from his Maiesties discourse without admiration?
A02547Our snow lyes here melted, where are those flouds of bloud that you threatned?
A02547Shall their feare keepe them from once mentioning the dreadfull name of God, and shall not our feare keepe vs from abusing it?
A02547That all the crownes and kingdomes in this world should not indure him to change any iot of his profession?
A02547The wages of sinne is death; And what death?
A02547To what purpose shal ye feast one another in your houses, if you shall feast the fiends of hell with your wilfull sinnes?
A02547To what purpose shall we kindle Bonfiérs in our streets, if wee kindle the flames of Gods displeasure against vs by our sinnes?
A02547To whom?
A02547What King christned hath written so learned volumes?
A02547What Nation vnder heauen yeeldes so many learned Diuines?
A02547What a brewing of death was tun''d vp in those vessels?
A02547What a world of Sulphur had hee prouided against that day?
A02547What famous Trophees of victory would hee erect ouer all Antichristianisme amongst vs?
A02547What portion haue we in Dauid?
A02547What shall we make of this?
A02547What should I runne my selfe out of breath, in this endlesse course of examples?

A025517. if to the opposites of Godlines, here is a Law fighting; fighting?
A02551Alas, what is this?
A02551And as great in respect of our enemies, so no lesse great in respect of our selues, Great, and beneficiall: What wonders are done by Godlinesse?
A02551And now what can the flesh doe, without the World, without the Deuill?
A02551Are there any of vs wearie of carrying our old Adam about vs?
A02551Are ye godly, which haue no inward awe of that God whom yee pretend to serue?
A02551As all sinne is originally from the Diuell, so especially Hypocrisie; hee is the father of Lyes, and what is Hypocrisie but a reall Lye?
A02551Briefly( for I could dwell here alwayes) it is godlinesse that only can giue vs, the beatificall sight of God; the sight?
A02551But for vs; Tell me, yee that heare me this day; Are ye Christians in earnest, or are yee not?
A02551But to rise higher then a change; Is it not an act of omnipotencie to create?
A02551But what of all this now, the power of Godlinesse is denyed by wicked men; How then?
A02551Doe ye not remember that Absalom would goe to pay his vow in Hebron?
A02551Doe ye see an illuminate Elder of the Anabaptists rapt in diuine extasies?
A02551Doe ye see the penances of the three super- mortified Orders of the Mahumetan Saints?
A02551Doe yee see a stigmaticall Fryer lashing himselfe to blood, wallowing in the snow naked, returning the lice into his bosome?
A02551Doe yee see an Ananias and Saphira making God their heyre of their halfe- shared Patrimony?
A02551Doe you see a griping Vsurer build Schooles and Hospitals with ten in the hundred?
A02551Faith and Praier are no small peeces of Godlines, and what is it that God can doe, which Praier and Faith can not doe?
A02551How is this done by Creation, and how is he created?
A02551How shall this be?
A02551In the former, what power hath Godlinesse if it haue not made vs good?
A02551Is it not a great wonder to make a Foole wise, to make the blind see?
A02551Is it not a wonder to cast out Deuils?
A02551Is it not a wonder to raise the dead?
A02551Is it not an act of omnipotence to change nature?
A02551It yee be not, what doe yee here?
A02551Neither is this consideration more fit to bee a whetstone to our zeale, then a touch stone to our condition; Godlinesse?
A02551No gouernment of your Passions, no Conscience of your Actions, no care of your Liues?
A02551Now, when I say the man is strong, is it any derogation to say his arme is strong?
A02551Oh the deplorable condition of those damned soules that haue sleighted the power of Godlinesse?
A02551Resist?
A02551Surely so; for hee heares him; Tush, heares him, what''s that?
A02551To repent of euill, To abstaine from euill; would yee escape the wrath of God, the fire of hell?
A02551What but that same, Dextra excelsi, wherby hee workes mightily vpon the soule?
A02551What is an Hypocrite but a Player, the Zani of Religion?
A02551What power then is this of Godlines?
A02551What shall we say to those gallants that hate to haue so much as a forme of Godlinesse?
A02551What should I weary you with instances?
A02551What speake I of power?
A02551What talke ye of a Sermon?
A02551Will yee see some instances of the further acts of Godlinesse?
A02551Would any of vs that are thus borne naturals( to God) bee wise to saluation?
A02551a Play if you will; what speake you of weeping for sinns?
A02551a grieuous burthen I confesse,& that which is able to weigh vs downe to Hell; doe wee groane vnder the load, and long to be eased?
A02551eiected our hellish corruptions, changed our wicked natures, new created our hearts?
A02551hath it raysed vs, vp from the graue of our sinnes?
A02551talke of drinking healths, singing of rounds, courting of Dames, reuels, matches, games, any thing saue goodnesse; what should we say of these men?
A02551what can it doe?
A02551what doth it?
A02551what is their case?
A02551what teares can bee enough to bewayle their euerlasting burnings?
A02551where is the power?
A02551wherein differ they from their neighbours vnlesse it be perhaps in better fare?
A02551with what horror shall ye feele the gnawing of your guilty consciences, and heare that hellish shrieking, and weeping, and wailing, and gnashing?
A02585A charge, to whom?
A02585And not to cast backe our eyes, Doe yee not see it thus in our times?
A02585And whence is all this?
A02585Are they Christians, or Antickes in some Carnevale, or childrens puppets that are thus dressed?
A02585Can he giue a man to liue more merrily, to feed more heartily, to sleep more quietly?
A02585Can he make a man honest?
A02585Can hee buy off the gout, cares, death, much lesse the paines of another world?
A02585Charge the Rich; Who are they?
A02585Charge then, but whom?
A02585Confidence in God; Beneficence to men: And euery one of these is backed with a reason to inforce it: Why should they not be hy- minded?
A02585Did these men euer heare that the Blessing of God maketh rich?
A02585For all these you haue reason to aske, Quid retribuam with Dauid; What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits?
A02585For, what safety, what vnspeakable comfort is there in Trusting to God?
A02585Glasses are pleasing vessels, yet because of their brittlenesse, who esteemes them precious?
A02585He is a liuing God, and a liberall God: Why should they extend their beneficence to men?
A02585Hy- mindednesse,& Trust in wealth: What are the duties they must labour vnto?
A02585If a man be but worth a foot- cloth, how big hee lookes on the inferior passengers?
A02585If yee looke about you; What is it that hee hath not giuen vs?
A02585In the Lord put I my trust, how say yee then to my soule, flee hence as a bird to the hills?
A02585Is this( thinks he) the flesh and blood, is this the hayre, is this the shape of a woman?
A02585O God, what a world of vanity hast thou reserv''d vs to?
A02585Of what?
A02585That the crowne of the wise is their wealth?
A02585That the wings of riches carry them vp to heauen?
A02585The Lord is my trust, whom then can I feare?
A02585The bush that hangs out, showes what we may looke for within; Whither doth the conceit of a litle inheritance transport the Gallants of our time?
A02585Their wealth is but in this world; Why should they not trust in Riches?
A02585To the rich: Of what?
A02585To whom?
A02585What are great men but like hailstones, that leape vp on the Tiles,& straight fall downe againe,& lye still,& melt away?
A02585What do I instance?
A02585What meane wee( my beloued) to spend our liues and hearts vpon these perishing treasures?
A02585What mines, what Princes can raise you vp to wealth, against him, without him?
A02585Whither can yee turne your eyes to looke beside the bounty of God?
A02585Why should they trust in God?
A02585Will yee haue the reason why we preach our selues hoarse and dead, and preuaile not?
A02585and there, but to be heard, and seene?
A02585can he make him wise?
A02585can hee make him healthfull?
A02585nay, doth he not bring all these?
A02585or hath nature repented of her worke since my daies, and begun a new frame?
A02585what they must auoide, what they must indeuour: What must they auoide?
A02585who can dote vpon it?
A02585who would trust it?
A02585will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand riuers of oyle?
A0256520. or Musicke in a day of Mourning, Howling and Lamentation is fitter for this occasion?
A02565All this hath God done for his Vinyard, what could haue beene done more?
A02565And of all fruits, what is comparable to that of the Vine?
A02565Are these the fruites of his choyce, his Fencing, his Reforming, his Planting, his watch Towre, his Winepresse?
A02565Are we lesse deep in the sins of Israel, then in Israels blessings?
A02565But to what purpose is the fruitfulnesse, fencing, stoning, if the ground yeeld a plentifull Crop of Bryers, Thistles, Weedes?
A02565Can we, dare we impute ill husbandry to the God of Heauen?
A02565God cheared with Wine?
A02565Hath God a Vineyard, and shall he not tend it?
A02565How did that noysome pestilence vanish suddenly away, as that which could not stand before our powerfull humiliations?
A02565How easie is it for a man to loose himselfe in the sinnes of the time?
A02565How hath the vigilant eye of his prouidence out of his doore of Heauen watcht ouer this Iland for good?
A02565How is this?
A02565How with Christ?
A02565I fast twise a weeke, saith the Pharisee, and wee Christians, when?
A02565In fasting often, saith St. Paul; what, and wee neuer?
A02565It is God that iustifies?
A02565Lastly, how infinitely hath his louing care laboured to bring vs to good?
A02565Lay now all these together, And what could haue beene done more for our Vineyard, O God, that thou hast not done?
A02565Of these hee sayes, What could haue beene done more that I haue not done?
A02565One of the sinnes of our Sodom is fulnesse of bread: What is the remedy?
A02565Shall hee not mightily protect it?
A02565Should I leaue my Wine which cheareth God and man?
A02565Sin hath a body, as well as the man hath,( who shall deliuer mee from this body of death?
A02565Sin is impudent; but let me challenge the impudent forehead of sinne it selfe; Are they not sowre and wilde Grapes that we haue yeelded?
A02565Sonne of man what shall be done to the Vine of all trees?
A02565The armes and legges take the same lot with the head; Euery beleeuer is a limme of that body; how can he therefore, but dye with him, and in him?
A02565The superstitious man is professedly mortifyde; The answer of that Hermite in the storie is famous, why dost thou destroy thy body?
A02565VVhat quarrels for measure; and forme?
A02565Vaine hypocrites, they must know that euery Christian is a crucified man: How are they dead to their sinnes, that walke in their sins?
A02565What a mockery is this?
A02565What are we, O God, what are we, that thou shouldst bee thus rich in thy mercies to vs, whiles thou art so seuere in thy iudgements vnto them?
A02565What bouzing, and quaffing, and whiffing, and healthing is there on euery bench; and what reeling and staggering in our streets?
A02565What could be more; the sins are aggrauated by those fauours; what worse then wilde Grapes and disappointment?
A02565What could haue beene done more?
A02565What could haue heene done more to my Vineyard that I haue not done in it?
A02565What drinking by the Yard, the Die, the Dozen?
A02565What sweet opportunities, and incouragements hath hee giuen vs of a fruitfull obedience?
A02565What then are these wilde, or as Pagnine renders it vuae putidae, rotten Grapes?
A02565What then is it, O Lord, what is it that thou hast done, then which more could not bee done for thy Vineyard?
A02565Who derides not the solecisme of that Actor, which exprest himselfe fully dead by saying so?
A02565Who doth not smile to heare of a dead man that walkes?
A02565Who shall condemne?
A02565With what competencie of maintenance hath he heartned all learned Professions?
A02565With what pregnant spirits hath hee furnisht our Academies?
A02565With what rare gifts hath hee graced our Teachers?
A02565but, among all deaths, in crucifying?
A02565eyes full of lust, itching eares, scurrilous tongues, bloody hands, hearts full of wickednesse, and yet dead?
A02565how are their sinnes dead in them, in whom they stir, raigne, flourish?
A02565nay( as he rightly) Polyolbion; richly blessed; O God, what, where is the Nation, that can emulate vs in these fauours?
A02565what a distention of the body,( whose weight is racke enough to it selfe?)
A02565what a torture must there needs be in this act of violence?
A02565what nayling of hands and feet?
A02565what strayning of the ioynts?
A02565where shall we seeke for a crucified man?
A02565who would not freeze vpon an hardle, that hee might not fry in hell?
A02565who would not hold his eies open, to auoid an eternall vnrest and torment?
A02565who would not scrub his skin, to ease his conscience?
A45148Ah Lord, What strugling have I with my weak fears?
A45148Alas, my Lord God, how small matters trouble me?
A45148And as for my outward spirituall enemies; how can there be a victory without war; and how can I hope for a crown without victory?
A45148Can ye hope to finde rest in any of these sublunary contentments, Alas?
A45148How can I be discouraged with unlikelihoods, when I see thee work by contraries?
A45148How can ye choose O ye Saints but love the Lord?
A45148How comfortable a style is that, O God, which thine Apostle gives to thine Heaven, whiles he cals it the inheritance of the Saints in light?
A45148How confidently did I relie upon the promised favour of some great friends, which now leave me in the suds, as the scom of( a mis- called) fortune?
A45148How did we lately feed our selves with the hope of a firme and during peace, which now shuts up in too much bloud?
A45148How happy, O Lord, is the man that hath thee for his God?
A45148How many good purposes, O my God, have I taken up,& let fall to the ground again without effect?
A45148How shall I be able to indure pain?
A45148How shall I pass through the horrid gates of death?
A45148If gifts can attract love; O my God, Who can have any interest in my heart but thy blessed self, that hast been so infinitely munificent to my soul?
A45148In how slippery places, O Lord, do our feet stand?
A45148In the mean time what shall I say to our wretched unthankfulnes; and impious negligence?
A45148In what pangs couldst thou be, O Asaph, that so woful a word should fall from thee, Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
A45148Indeed, Lord, as thou saist, the night commeth when no man can work; What can we do, when the light is shut in, but shut our eyes, and sleep?
A45148Let me not know what they say, or think of me, and what am I the better or worse for them?
A45148Lord God, What a world of treasure hast thou hid in the bowels of the earth, which no eye of man ever did, or shall, or can see?
A45148Lord God, if thou take off thy hand from me, what wickedness shall escape me?
A45148Lord God, whither need I go to seek thee?
A45148My condition is no other then theirs; I wander here in a strange country; What wonder is it, if I meet with forrainers fare, hard usage, and neglect?
A45148O God, how troublesome and painful do I find this Sun of thine, whose scorching beams beat upon my head?
A45148O Lord God, under how opposite aspects do I stand ▪ from the world?
A45148O Lord God; how subject is this wretched heart of mine to repining, and discontentment?
A45148O blessed God, what variety of gifts hast thou scattered amongst the sons of men?
A45148O blessed Saviour, What strange variety of conceits do I finde concerning thy thousand years raign?
A45148Oh Lord God; how ambitious, how covetous of knowledg is this soul of mine?
A45148Oh my God, Where is my faith that I am thus surprized?
A45148Oh my God, why do not I suspect my self?
A45148Oh what a praise is this of thy mercy and long suffering?
A45148Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth: What is it which thou wouldst have me do that I may finde rest to my soul?
A45148V. Ah my Lord God, what heats and colds do I feel in my soul?
A45148What a madness then were it in me to come disguised into thy presence ▪& to seek to hide my counsels from thine al- seeing eyes?
A45148What a shame to our dull neglect and graceless ingratitude?
A45148What goodly plants hast thou brought forth of the earth, in wilde, unknown regions, which no man ever beheld?
A45148What great wits hast thou shut up in a willing obscurity, which the world never takes notice of?
A45148What have ye, what are ye, what can ye be, but from his meer bounty?
A45148What hold have I of my self more then these other miserable examples of humane frailtie?
A45148What judgment more heavy then that of the sword?
A45148What outward blessing can be sweeter then civill peace?
A45148What riddles are in that prophesie; which no humane tongue can aread?
A45148What shall I do Lord?
A45148What shall I do when I am old?
A45148What would it avail me, O Lord, to mock the eyes of all the world with asemblance of holiness, whilst thou shouldst see me false and filthy?
A45148When our senses are tyed up, and our limbs laid to rest, what can we do, but yeeld our selves to a necessary repose?
A45148Where art thou, O my God?
A45148Whether, Lord, is it my wretchednesse to suffer my self to be rob''d of thee, for the time, by temptation?
A45148Whither now, O whither do ye rove O my thoughts?
A45148Why are not my affections homeward?
A45148Why do I clog my self in my way with the base and heavy lumber of the world?
A45148Why do I intermeddle with the affaires of a nation that is not mine?
A45148Why do I not long to see and enjoy my fathers house?
A45148Yet, when did I bless thee for any of them?
A45148and shall therein alone bestow a blessed eternity?
A45148but that I have any helps of my wel- beeing here; or hopes and means of my being glorious hereafter, how far is it beyond the reach of my soul?
A45148how can they yeeld any stay to you, that have no settlement in themselves?
A45148how do I anticipate my evils by distrust?
A45148how teeming hath this barren womb of my heart been of false conceptions?
A45148how variously am I construed by men?
A45148whither hast thou withdrawn thy self?
A025637. ad finem iustus igitur aduocatus noster,& c. Ergo fratres, omnes de plenitudine eius accepimus, de pl ● nitudine miserecordiae,& c. Quid?
A02563And how doth this become ours?
A02563And how late was this?
A02563And i ● thou, Lord, shouldst marke iniquities ▪ O Lord, who shall stand?
A02563And if hee must pray that hee may doe it; how much more must he practice it, when he can doe it?
A02563And if our Parents do not, who else among the dead know what wee doe, or what wee suffer?
A02563And what if a mouse, or other vermin, should eat the Host( it is a case put by themselues) who then sacrificeth?
A02563And when the score is strucke off, what remaynes to pay?
A02563Because now yee are iust; and whence are yee iust?
A02563But Binius wrangleth here; Can we blame him when the free- hold of their Great Mistresse is so neerely touched?
A02563But did hee say, No sinne shall bee remitted, but what yee remit?
A02563But will not this seeme to sauour of too much indifferencie?
A02563But, good Lord, how apt men are to raise or beleeue lies for their owne aduantages?
A02563But, what need allegations to proue a yeelded truth?
A02563But, what striue wee in this?
A02563Can there be a back- reckoning for that which shal not be remembred?
A02563Doe we not offer euerie day?
A02563Doth hee thanke that seruant because hee did the things that were commanded him?
A02563For what can breake that peace but our sinnes?
A02563Freely, ● y his Grace: What Grace?
A02563HOw absurd therefore is it in reason, when the King of heauen cals vs to him, to run with our petitions to the Guard or Pages of the Court?
A02563How can this plea stand with his owne confessed subscription?
A02563How doe they multiply in their passage, and either grow, or dye vpon hazards?
A02563How doe wee see the reports varie, of those things, which our eyes haue seene done?
A02563How ill would this doctrine or practice now bee endured?
A02563I haue done away thy Transgressions as a Cloud: What sinnes can bee lesse then transgressions?
A02563In Christ is the Sacrifice once offered able to giue saluation; What doe we therefore?
A02563Inherent in vs, and working by vs?
A02563Is it really propitiatorie?
A02563It is no short Cloake, that it should not couer twaine; Thy righteousnesse is a righteousnesse for euer; and what is longer then eternitie?
A02563Loe, can the Letter bee read that is blotted out?
A02563Loe, he cleanseth vs from the guilt, and forgiues the punishment: What are our sinnes but debts?
A02563Not by your owne Merits, but by his Grace; Whence are yee iust?
A02563Nothing can formally make vs iust but that which is perfect in it selfe; How should it giue what it hath not?

A02563Quid prodest fons signatus?
A02563Reioyce in the Lord; Why?
A02563That commonly men may be saued without them?
A02563The former Iob saw from his dung- hill; How should a man bee iustified before God?
A02563The masters of the Pythonisse are angrie part with a gainefull( though euill) guest: Am I become your enemie because I tolde you the truth?
A02563Wash me, and I shall be whiter then snow: Who can tell where the spot was, when the skin is rinced?
A02563What can be more plaine?
A02563What can bee more cleerely dispersed then a Cloud?
A02563What can bee more direct, then that of holy Athanasius?
A02563What foundation of truth can be layd vpon the breath of man?
A02563What is our remission, but a striking off that score?
A02563What is the infliction of punishment, but an exaction of payment?
A02563Who can but feare that the Cardinall shifts this euidence against his owne heart?
A02563Who shall lay any thing to the ● harge of Gods Elect?
A02563Will these men bee wiser then the wisdome of his Father?

A45250A dark vail of ignorance, of errour, of impiety?
A45250And what then was a he Gabriel ▪ that appeared with the happy newes of a Saviour to the blessed Virgin?
A45250BUt, O Savior, was it not enough for thee to be manifested in flesh?
A45250Could these be any other then the acts of living, and powerful agents?
A45250Did not that elementarie composition carry in it abasement enough, without any further addition?
A45250Did not thy Deity then lie hid, and obscured, whiles thou wert here on earth under the vail of of thy flesh?
A45250How canst thou be but wholly taken up with the sight and thought of that place of blessednesse?
A45250How did they stirr up cruell Tyrants, in the first dawning of thy Gospell, furiously to persecute this way unto death?
A45250How drunken was the earth with the blood of thy Martyrs in all parts?
A45250How is the earth every where drenched with humane bloud?
A45250How many sclaves under the vassalage of an enemie fare better then thou didst from ingratefull man, whom thou camest to save?
A45250How then wert thou manifested in that flesh, wherein thou didst lye obscured?
A45250How would all the Nations under heaven have flockd to thee, and fallen down at the feet of so glorious a Majesty?
A45250Is not this he that filled the world with his divine and beneficiall miracles?
A45250Is not this he whom the very ejected Devils were forced to confess to be the son of the everliving God?
A45250O Jesu, thou art our head, we are thy body: how can the body but participate of the glory of the head?
A45250O blessed Jesu, with what assurance do I cast my self upon thee for thy present protection for my future salvation?
A45250Oh for a fountain of tears to bewaile the slain of Gods people in all the coasts of the Earth: How is Christendome become an universall Aceldama?
A45250Oh what an happy spectacle was this, to see the face of him, in whom the Godhead dwelt bodily?
A45250Or, since thou wouldst be a man, why wouldst thou not come as the chief of men, commanding Kings and Princes of the earth to attend thy train?
A45250Shall I say more?
A45250Shortly, what were all those spirits( whereof both Testaments are full,) which God was pleased to imply in his frequent missions to the earth?
A45250Was Gabriel that appeared and spake to Daniel, nothing but a supernatural ph ● ntasme?
A45250What a vail, O God, was spread over all Nations?
A45250What are the Angels of those little ones, whereof our Saviour speakes, which do alwaies behold the face of his Father in heaven?
A45250What are those spirits, who shall be Gods reapers at the end of the world, to cut down the tares, and gather the wheat into his barn?
A45250What man in all the world would not have said with Peter, Lord it is good for us to be here?
A45250What then, O Saviour, was the strengthening which thou receivedst from this officious spirit in this pang of thine agony?
A45250What were those Angels that appeared to the shepherds with the tidings and gratulations of the Saviour borne at Bethlem?
A45250Who shal lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A45250Wo is me, what a world of this world of men lyes still under the damnable estate of unbelief?
A45250Wo is me, what throngs are carried to hell by these devillish impostures?
A45250and having conquered all adverse powers, sittest on the right hand of God the Farher, crowned with honour and majesty?
A45250and justly, whom the dead Saints and the heavenly Angels attended in his powerfull Resurrect on, and glorious Ascension?
A45250and wherefore serves a vail, but to hide and cover?
A45250and with him to partake of that glory and happinesse which he hath provided for all that love him?
A45250how boldly can I defie all the powers of darknesse, whiles I am in the hand of so gracious and omnipotent a Mediator?
A45250how would all the Earth have rung with Hosonnas to the highest?
A45250our obedience, more exact, our sins less and fewer then before we were thus heavily afflicted?
A45250was it a supernaturall apparition of fancie, that in one night laid an hundred fourscore and five thousand Assyrians dead upon the ground?
A45250was not the flesh thy vail?
A45250were these phantasms too?
A45250what cruell storms of persecution did they raise against those blessed messengers, whose feet deserved to be beautifull?
A45250what exquisite torments of all kinds did they devise for the innocent professors of thy name?
A45250who, or what might those be?
A45250whom the heaven and al the elements owned for their almighty Creatour?
A45250whose sufferings darkened the Sun, and shooke the Earth, and rent the Rocks in pieces?
A45250why did not thy Court glitter with pearle, and gold, in the rich furnitures, and gay suits of thy stately followers?
A45250why was not thy Table furnished with all the delicacies that the world could afford?
A02513Alas how dimmely, and a farre off doest thou now beholde him?
A02513Alas, how weake and vnbeleeuing is thy beleefe?
A02513Alas, what can I giue thee which is not thine owne before?
A02513And what perfection of blisse is there where all goodnesse is mette and vnited?
A02513Artthou a christian, or art thou none?
A02513But alas, where is my loue?
A02513Doest thou doubt whether there bee an heauen?
A02513How lamentable is it, that wee so imploy them, as if our facultie of discourse serued for nothing, but our earthly prouision?
A02513How loath are we to leaue this earth, onely for the societie of some few friends in whom we delight?
A02513How may I preuent the wrong of mine aduersarie, how may I returne it?
A02513How should I trample vpō these poore vanities of the earth?
A02513How willingly should I indure all sorrowes, all torments?
A02513Howe may I gette more?
A02513In what pastimes shall I spend this day, in what the next?
A02513Moses sawe God but a while, and shined; How shal we shine that shal behold his face for euer?
A02513Oh dying and false life, which wee enioy here, and scarce a shadowe and counterfeit of that other: What is more esteemed than glory?
A02513Oh what affection can be worthy of such an home?
A02513Say, there were no other worlde; how could wee spend our cares otherwise?
A02513Tel me, what such goodly entertainemēt hast thou met withall here on earth, that was worthy to withdraw thee frō these heauenly ioyes?
A02513The worlde filles vs, yea, cloyes vs: we finde our selues worke enough to thinke; What haue I yet?
A02513Thus I desire, O Lord, to bee right affected towards thee and thy glory; I desire to come to thee: but, alas, how weakly?
A02513Thus lastly( for who knowes not that examples of this kinde are infinite?)
A02513What aduantage shall I reape by this practise; what losse?
A02513What answeres shall I make to such allegations?
A02513What are wee the warmer if we passe hastily along by the hearth, stay not at it?
A02513What auailes it to knock at the doore of the heart, if wee depart ere we haue an answere?
A02513What courses shall I take in such suits?
A02513What doest thou here groueling vpon earth?
A02513What doest thou here then, O my soule?
A02513What entertainement shall I giue to such friends?
A02513What greater honour is there than in Souereignty?
A02513What is more deare to vs than our Countrey?
A02513What is their life, but that blessed estate aboue, wherein their glorified soule hath a full fruition of God?
A02513What must I lay out?
A02513What sauour hath this earth to thee?
A02513What shall I leaue for posterity?
A02513What shall I then doe to thee for this mercie, Othou Sauiour of men?
A02513What should I render to my Lord, for all his benefites?
A02513What then, O my soule, is the life of the Saints, whereof thou studiest?
A02513What was sayd, answered, replied, done, followed?
A02513Whence is this eternal life, but from him which onely is eternall; which onely is the fountaine of life, yea, life it selfe?
A02513Where is our Countrey but aboue?
A02513Which, ouercomming on earth, are truely canonized in heauen?
A02513Who but the same God that giues our temporall life, giues also that eternall?
A02513Who can hope for thee, and not reioyce?
A02513Who can knowe thee, and not bee swallowed vp with admiration at the mercie of him that bestowes thee?
A02513Who can regarde the worlde that beleeueth thee?
A02513Who can thinke of thee, and not bee rauished with woonder and desire?
A02513Yea, besides promise, hand, seale; hath hee not giuen thee a sure earnest of thy saluation, in some weake, but true graces?
A02513Yet more: hath hee not giuen thee besides Earnest, possession?
A02513and shall haue Tabernacles not of our own making, but prepared for vs by God?
A02513from my glorie with Christ, who shall pull mee out of my heauen?
A02513hast thou so long read these capitall letters of Gods great booke, and canst thou not yet spell one worde of them?
A02513how cold and faint are thy desires?
A02513how happy shal wee be, when our selues shal be changed into glorious?
A02513how heartlesly?
A02513how scornefully should I passe by all pleasures?
A02513how should I be in trauel of my dissolution?
A02513how should I hate all this world for thee?
A02513howe imperfectly doest thou enioy him?
A02513or what cause of dislike findest thou aboue?
A02513or whether thou haue a God, and a Sauiour there?
A02513what greater pleasure than in feasting?
A02513what heauinesse hath ouertaken thee?
A02513what pleasure in it euer gaue thee contentment?
A02513where God is enioyed in whom only all things are good, what good can bee wanting?
A02513where art thou, O my soule?
A02513where is my longing?
A02513which euen on earth were perfectly holy in their Sauiour, now are so in themselues?
A02513which yet are subiect euery day to mutuall dislikes: what pleasure shall wee then take in the enioying of the Saints?
A02513who are the Saints, but those which hauing been weakely holy vpon earth, are perfectly holy aboue?
A02586Alas, what act of ours is free from this wofull pollution?
A02586Alas, what are we now?
A02586Alas, what was the pleasure and riches of the Court of Egypt, in the eyes of Moses, when he had once seene his God?
A02586Alwayes, and yet never changing?
A02586And now, since the spring is foule, how can the streames be cleare?

A02586How shall I do this great wickednesse and sinne against God?
A02586If Vzziah once feele himselfe growne strong, his heart is lifted up; why should not a Censer fit him no lesse than a Scepter?
A02586If invisible, how seene?

A02586Lo thou, that madest such an heaven, canst thou be other than infinitely glorious?
A02586Lord what a world is this of thine, which wee see?
A02586Men do not so much covet, as arrogate spirituall gifts, Every Zidkijah can say, which way went the spirit of God from mee to speake unto thee?
A02586O God, if mercy be proper to attract feare, how must our hearts, in all these respects, needs be filled with all awfull regard unto thy divine bounty?
A02586O God, what were the world without it, but a vast, and sullen dungeon of confusion, and horrour; and, with it, what a Theater of beauty and wonders?
A02586Or is there lesse cause of our reverence of those divine Oracles, than theirs?
A02586Paines of body, frownes of the great, restraint of liberty, losse of goods, who is it that feares not?
A02586Si ex toto corde ridere non licet?
A02586The mountains quake at him, and the hils melt, and the earth is burnt at his presence; Who can stand before his indignation?
A02586WOuld we therefore see him that is invisible?
A02586Were our hearts no lesse convinced of the designation of an everlasting burning to the rebellious and impenitent, could we lesse bestirre our selves?
A02586What Bath was so suppling, and delightfull, as the rack of Theodorus the Martyr, whiles Gods Angel wip''t, and refreshed his distended joynts?

A02586X. LAstly, what other doth this vision of God but enter us into our heaven?
A02586and how tamed and confined by thine Almightinesse?
A02586and if seene, how invisible?
A02586and what is glory above, but grace perfected?
A02586and who can abide in the fiercenesse of his anger?
A02586and why wouldest thou do all this, but because thou doubtest not of the truth of the report?
A02586and yet what roome hast thou left in that large contignation, for more?
A02586as Elisha''s servant said; there are more with us than against us: It is strength?
A02586behold, the weaknesse of God is stronger than men; than divels: How justly do we contemne all visible powers, when we see the Invisible?
A02586no lesse than this vast element of waters, so many thousand miles distant from her sphere?
A02586what anxiety, what strife, what torture, what selfe- revenge, what ejaculations and complaints, what unrepining subjection to the rod?

A02538Am I a foole, or a rebel?
A02538Am I in prison?
A02538Am I wandring in banishmēt?
A02538An easy condition of so great a benefit, hee requires vs not to earne it, but to accept it of him, what could hee giue more?
A02538Any want of loue not to giue thee what he knowes is best?

A02538He is vnworthy of Gods fauor that can not thinke it happines enough with out the worlds?
A02538Hee strikes me that made me, that moderats the world, Why struggle, I with him, why with my selfe?
A02538How canst thou then faile of the best?
A02538How could I abide the smell of forrain smoke?

A02538How deare& welcome shall our death bee that shall but leade vs from one heauen to another, from peace to glorye?
A02538How doth Platoes worldling bewaile the misery of the graue, besides all respect of paine?
A02538How long?
A02538How long?
A02538How many meeting with an hedstrong griefe which they could not menage, haue by the violēce of it beene carried quite from their wits?
A02538How ofte haue I scorned these dead and vnpleasant pleasures of earth, in comparison of thine?
A02538How pleasāt shall our life be, while neither ioies nor sorrows can distemper it with excesse?
A02538How shall heauen and earth smile vpon vs, and we on them; commāding the one; aspiring to the other?

A02538Lastly shall I account that good which is incident to the worst?
A02538Not to depend vpon others opiniōs but to stād on our own bottoms?

A45320And how have you suted your respects to the better times?
A45320And it is not profanenesse to thinke so slovenly as you doe of God and his Service, Atheisme; to professe so much, and practise nothing at all?
A45320And know you what iniquity some of your holy Sisters might have committed yesternight?
A45320And must all these fall within the verge of your excommunication?
A45320And why doe such Batts and Owles as you screech about our Churches?
A45320And why him, I pray you?
A45320And why may there not be some few pearles in that dung- hill, the masse- booke?
A45320And you Sir, who hath made all this dinne, how should a man finde your out, either to convert you, or to be converted by you?
A45320Aske you how you know this, you reply, the thoughts and intentions of the men are not upright, and is not this without tryall to judge the minde?
A45320But how shall this humor of yours suit with the unity of a Church?
A45320But if every knowne sin be every mans, where is Christs burthen?
A45320But if your selves onely, what need have you of Judges?
A45320But let no man blame you before they try you: do you deale so with others?
A45320But what answer you to the question, if they have not received Baptisme?
A45320But what reformation do you conceive?
A45320But who should finde it so?
A45320Do you thus tempt the patience of the Prince and people?
A45320Doe not you too much rejoyce over the( perhaps deserved) afflictions of others: If Judgement begin at the house of God, what doe you expect?
A45320Doe you thinke we may not use what is in the Masse booke consonant to Scripture, and purest antiquity?
A45320Have they resigned that power which God, his Majesty, and their ancient privileges have indued them with, into your hands?
A45320Have you yet proved these things to be Popish?
A45320Heare you of preparation for Warre?
A45320How doe you( which is yours quarto modo) preach and practise contradictions?
A45320How may this incourage the Romanists, when by our pretended selves, not onely our best champions, but our very Church is made theirs?
A45320How shall we argue against them without bespattering our owne faces in time to come?
A45320I will therefore assigne you a third, that comes more home to the point, To your Tents O Israel, what Inheritance have we in the Sonne of Iesse?
A45320Is it not the Dial ● ct of rebellion?
A45320Is it nothing for you to object Paganisme to them at every word?
A45320Is this your modell, your patterne of reformation?
A45320It is granted: but are you not like the doore that turneth all day upon the hinges, and never changeth its place?
A45320May we expect, dum viatores sumus, your contemplative perfection, or that the wheate shall be here without the chaffe?
A45320Nay how blame you a whole Church and nation?
A45320Now when you have drained us of all discipline and unity, how proceed you against the fomentation of envy, and faction in the state?
A45320Now, this cleer deniall of a Church, how agreeth it with your advise of reformation?
A45320Of the a ornation of a Chappell?
A45320Or are they not Christians?
A45320Quo Donate ruis?
A45320Sufficiently discovered?
A45320Suppose now it were so, is not your curse, who discovereth your mothers nakednesse, double to his, who did not cover his fathers?
A45320Tel me, I pray you, whether should the Judges, or your selves determine the integrity of the Law?
A45320They have so, and so might they ever performe; but can not one Devill be cast out, unlesse seaven enter?
A45320This you say is not of divine, therefore it must be of diabolicall institution, can you giue a reason of this consequence?
A45320To call them profane, ignorant, unbaptized, unchristian persons?
A45320What a cursed Shimei is this to lay this heaviest imputation upon the most glorious Church in the world?
A45320What a wild consequence is this?
A45320What difference put you betwixt the head and the branch?
A45320When will you agree among your selves?
A45320Whether is this a trick of the Antichrist or not, an usurpation of Gods prerogative?
A45320Yea, thinke your selfe obliged to redeeme your slackned rigour by an after- increase of heate and violence?
A45320You tell us of the Homilies, and what doe you think are meant by the third mark, the true discipline there?
A45320You therefore will begin ab ovo, and call together the Holy ones, to make up your new houshold congregations: but how shall these be discended?
A45320and doe you thinke petitions, covenants, and insurrections the surest gradations to the Kingdome of Heaven?
A45320and is not this to bee stinced and tyed to aforme of prayer how raw and senselesse so ever?
A45320and yet will have your credulous hearers( who have pulled out their eyes for you) conceive, that all you speak is from above?
A45320are all your thousands evanished, you boasted of in the last page?
A45320are not al profane to you, that are good Church- men and obedient Subjects?
A45320are not you and your Bible the onely Judge of Controversies?
A45320by whom?
A45320can many shreads of cloth make a garment, and doe not you remember that Christs coat was without a seame?
A45320doth not this derogate from your infallibilitie, if in a syllable you be obliged to a Father?
A45320enter, you may not for pollution) as if the ruines and desolations of Babel had already seised upon us?
A45320every moneth a new faith?
A45320have they therefore vowed to erect Anabaptisme?
A45320how is it, that the hand must reforme the head, the people their Prince?
A45320if they, why doe not you attend their determination?
A45320if you communicate with them, doe you partake of their profanation?
A45320in whose age?
A45320is there a corner in all this 〈 ◊ 〉 of yours which is not stuft with accusations of a totall apostacy and profanation against her?
A45320is there no midde betwixt the extreames?
A45320must either a shaveling or a scavinger be the starre to point us out the way to Christ?
A45320must every yeere produce you a new religion?
A45320must they and we be tyed to what fancy your humour shall be pleased, to thrust upon their just commands, and our due obedience?
A45320no salvation, but either in the communion of the one, or conventicle of the other?
A45320the very{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}, the Tactus physicus of all disorder, mutinie, and confusion?
A45320themselves, or you?
A45320were the probabilities of your arguments, a warrant good enough for your reformation, without the approbation of your Superiours?
A45320what exporbrations, what triumph of theirs will hence ensue?
A45320what?
A45320when shall you make a stand?
A02567?
A02567Alas beloued, and will we not yet let the sonne of God be at rest?
A02567Alas, how haue we gathered rust with our long peace?
A02567Alas, they doe flie it: that which should be their punishment, they make their contentment, how are they worthy of pitty?
A02567Alas, who could?
A02567And now when he saw al these prophesies were fulfilled, knowing that one remained, he said, I thirst, Domine, quid sitis?
A02567And what shall his Disciples doe?
A02567And yet, what can the Angels helpe, where God will smite?
A02567And, what lesse courage was there, in our memorable and glorious forefathers of the last of this age?
A02567Behold then, yee despisers,& wonder, and vanish away: whome haue all the Prophets fore- told?
A02567Blasphemy, worthy the tearing of garments: how is it finished by Christ, if men must supply?
A02567But here, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee?
A02567But thou Lorde, how long?
A02567But what goe I so farre?
A02567But what man?
A02567Can we yet say any more?
A02567Christ is the end of the Law: what law?
A02567Darest thou not trust thy Redeemer?
A02567Euen the greatest torments are easie, when they haue answerable comforts: but a wounded and comfortlesse spirit, who can beare?
A02567For Absurdity, how grosse and monstrous are these Positions?
A02567Goe thy wayes forth my soule, go forth, what fearest thou?
A02567Hast thou relieued them, and doest thou forsake me?
A02567He must bee apprehended: it was fore- prophesied; The Annointed of the Lord was taken in their nets, sayeth Ieremie: but how?
A02567Hee giues his life, but for whome?
A02567Hee hath his aunswere; yee men of Israel, why stand you gazing and gaping for another Messias?
A02567How art thou a perfect Sauiour, if our Brethren also must be our redeemers?
A02567How cut off?
A02567How easie a breath disperst his enemies?
A02567How safely doth our soule passe through the gates of death, without any impeachment, while it is in the hands of the Almighty?
A02567I call you not to a weake& idle pitty of our glorious Sauiour: to what purpose?
A02567If there bee any Iew amongst you, that like one of Iohns vnseasonable Disciples, shall aske, Art thou hee, or shall wee looke for another?
A02567If thine heart can say thus, thou shalt not need to intreat with old Hilarion, Egredere mea anima, egredere, quid times?
A02567If thou hadst no soule, if a mortall one, if thine owne, if neuer to bee required; how couldest thou liue but sensually?
A02567If thy soule had been in his soules stead, what had become of it?
A02567In short, hee shall bee led to death: it is the prophesie, the Messias shall be slaine, saith Daniel: what death?
A02567Is Christ diuided?
A02567Is it not now finished?
A02567Is this the entertainment that so gracious a Sauiour hath deserued of vs by dying?
A02567Is this the recompence of that infinite loue of his, that thou shouldest thus cruelly vexe and wound him with thy sinnes?
A02567Is thy heart wounded with thy sin?
A02567Legions of Angels?
A02567Lift vp, whither?
A02567Looke vp O all ye beholders, looke vpon this pretious body, and see what part ye can find free?
A02567Nay, shall ● e sweat and bleed for vs, and shall not we weepe for our selues?
A02567Not a bone of him shall be broken: what hinders it?
A02567Not of Reason, how should one meere man pay for another, dispense with another, to another, by another?
A02567Not onely brought me to this shame, smitten me, vnregarded me; but, as it were, forgotten, yea, forsaken me?
A02567O Death where is thy sting?
A02567O Graue where is thy victory?
A02567O all yee that passe by the way, behold and see, if there bee any sorrow like to my sorrow: Alas, Lord, what can we see of thy sorrows?
A02567Oh blessed Sauiour, was euery drop of thy bloud enough to redeeme a world, and doe we yet need the helpe of men?
A02567Oh deare Christians, how should these earthen and rocky hearts of ours shake, and rend in peeces at this Meditation?
A02567Oh how grieuous, how deadly are our sinnes, that cost the sonne of God( besides blood) so much torment?
A02567Oh wilfull men; whither do they runne?
A02567Oh ye blessed Saints, how would you abhorre this sacrilegious glory?
A02567Oh, beloued, is it not enough that he died once for vs?
A02567Our Sauiour is the Physitian?
A02567Paul chides this loue: what doe you weeping and breaking my heart?
A02567Prayse the Lord, O my soule; and, What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefites?
A02567See the Apostles gradation?
A02567Shall he thus lamentably shrieke out, vnder his Fathers wrath, and shall not wee tremble?
A02567Shall the heauens and earth suffer with him, and we suffer nothing?
A02567Still Altars?
A02567Still Priestes?
A02567Still the further wee looke, the more wonder: euery thing addes to this ignominie of suffering,& triumph of ouercomming: where was it?
A02567The whole need not the Physitian, but the sicke: wherein?
A02567Thinke now seriously of this point; Gods Angell is abroade, and strikes on all sides?
A02567Though thou shouldest euery day die a death for him, thou couldest neuer requite his one death, and doest thou sticke at one?
A02567VVere those paines so light, that wee should euery day redouble them?
A02567VVhat a word was here, to come from the mouth of the Sonne of GOD?
A02567VVhat an Army were here?
A02567VVhen our soule is once giuen vpp, what euill shall reach vnto heauen; and wrestle with the Almighty?
A02567VVhy do we liue, as those that tooke no keepe of so glorious a guest?
A02567Was his heart free?
A02567What a spirit was here?
A02567What end?
A02567What fearest thou?
A02567What is finished?
A02567What is this to thee?
A02567What shall I say of these men?
A02567What shall be done to him?
A02567What should God doe with an vncleane, drunken, prophane, proud, couetous soule?
A02567What should we doe but striue& suffer, as our Generall hath done; that we may raigne as he doth, and once triumph in our Consummatum est?
A02567What sodaine familiarity is this?
A02567What suffered hee?
A02567What therefore is finished?

A02578Will any man put his finger into a fiery crucible, to pull out gold?
A02578Will any man( not desperate) runne into an infected house, to rifle for a rich suit?
A02578and especially from English Iesuites?

A02578and where was our religion before Luther lay with Bora?
A02578as if they were ashamed of the head of Gods making, and proud of the Tire- womans?
A02578but the hang- byes of that royall court which the soule keeps in a generous heart?

A68133O God, with what horror shall the guilty Soule stand before thy dreadfull Tribunall in the day of the great Assizes of the World?
A68133OH God, Why am not I thus?
A68133REason is an excellent facultie; and indeed, that which alone differenceth us from brute creatures; without which what is man but a two- legged beast?

A45310And all from no other ground then this, that they know not how to abound?
A45310And as for outward dangers, what an happy immunity doth commonly bless the poor man?
A45310And when they have found their Blood too rank, have been glad to pay for the letting it out?
A45310And whom have we seen more healthful and active, then the Children of poor men, trayned up hardly in their Cottages with fare as little, as course?

A45182he knows he is on his way home- ward; Is he imprisoned?
A45182his comfort is that the inward man is so much more renued daily, as the outward perisheth: Is he slandered and unjustly disgraced?
A45182his comfort is that there is a blessing, which will more then make him amends; Is he banished?

A45182that they should bear me in their arms, that they should shield me with their protection?

A45182yet had he the residue of the spirit; and wherefore one?
A45274All our other weaknesses are no eye- sore to God, no rub in our way to heaven; What matters it then how unworthy we are of our selves?

A45274Can they think the unchangeable God subject to after thoughts?
A45274Did thy love so far over- shoot thy reason, as to pray they might attain to the knowledge of that which can not be known?
A45274For where is the man hath obtained the mastery of his corrupt affections, and to be the Lord of his unruly appetite?
A45274For, if we set up more Christs, where is that one?
A45274Freedome from the curse?
A45274From death, and therein from all miseries: O death where is thy sting?
A45274Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
A45274He that hath given himself to her; what can he deny to impart?
A45274He that hath made himself one with her, how can he be divided from his other- self?
A45274How dare they stand out against the word of truth, which tels us expresly that Christ is made our righteousnesse?
A45274How dear a price hast thou paid for our ransome?
A45274How do evill spirits and men labour to destroy that Creed which we have alwayes constantly professed?
A45274How free then, and how perfect is our justification?
A45274How happy in thy blessed possession?
A45274How hast thou blessed us, and how should we blesse thee in so mighty, and glorious attendants?
A45274How little do they consider that Christ is ours?
A45274How much lesse can they know the God of Spirits, who( besides his invisibility) is infinite, and incomprehensible?
A45274How resolutely shall I grapple with the temptations of that enemy, whom thou hast foiled for me?
A45274How safe in thine Almighty tuition?
A45274How shamefully injurious were it, that when thou hast trimm''d up my soul, it should prostitute it self to the love of the world?
A45274How should a man be just with God?
A45274How ● hearfully should I passe through ● hose miseries and that death, which ● hou hast sweetned?
A45274If Saint Paul, when his Corinthians did but say, I am of Paul, I am of Apollo, I am of Cephas, could ask, Is Christ divided?
A45274Is Christ shred into infinites?
A45274Is Christ sub- divided?
A45274Is he a father of children?
A45274Is he a servant?
A45274Is he a son?
A45274Is he a subject?
A45274Is he bereaved of his goods and worldly estate?
A45274Is he the husband of a wife?
A45274Is he the master of a family?
A45274Is it for that there may be holy ambitions of those heights of grace, which we can never hope actually to attain?
A45274Is it the loathsome condition of our nature?
A45274It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A45274It is God that justifieth: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
A45274It is the love of Christ which thou wishest they may know, and it is that love which thou sayest is past all knowledge; What shall we say to this?
A45274Lord Jesu, who should enjoy the fruit of thine own favours but thy self?
A45274Now alas, what is our life?
A45274O grave, where is thy victory?
A45274Oh what are we in comparison of thine once glorious Angels?
A45274Satisfaction?
A45274Shall tribulation, or distresse, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sword?
A45274That which he ordained for us, shall not the holy God much more observe in his own heavenly match with his Church?
A45274To him to live is Christ, and to dye is gain; Is he dead?
A45274To this purpose Christ gives his Spirit; the soul plights her faith: What interesse have we in Christ but by his Spirit?
A45274What an infinite power hath put together, can they imagine that a limited power can disjoyn?
A45274What can we therefore fear, what can we suffer, while Christ is made our Redemption?
A45274What doe we then, weak souls tremble to think of appearing before the dreadfull tribunall of the Almighty?
A45274What is it then that can hinder us from a sweet and heavenly fruition of thee?
A45274What is it then whereby the new creature lives?
A45274What is the least of them, but a world of light?
A45274What quarrell may the pure and holy God have against righteousnesse?
A45274What ransome can be set upon it, that a man would stick to give?
A45274What raptures of spirit can be sufficient for the admiration of thy so infinite mercy?
A45274What strangers are they to that grace they oppugn?
A45274What we had not, thou gavest; what thou didst not find, thou madest; that we might be a not- unmeet match for the Lord of life: Is it want of beauty?
A45274Wherefore hath God given to men the tongue of the learned, but that they might know to speak a word in season to him that is weary?
A45274Who can be capable to love us but men or Angels?
A45274With what comfortable assurance shall I look upon the face of that mercifull Justice which thou hast satisfied?
A45274Woe is me, into how many thousand pieces is the seamlesse coat of our Saviour rent?
A45274Wouldst tho ● therefore, my son, finde true and sol ● d comfort in the hour of temptation, in the agony of death?
A45274Yea were we not sinfull, how were we capable of his justification?
A45274Yea, how readily do we expose our dear lims, not to hazard only, but to losse for the preservation of it?
A45274Yea, into what numberlesse atomes is the precious body of Christ torn and minced?
A45274against his own righteousnesse?
A45274all of them claiming Christ for theirs, and denying him to their gain- sayers; would he not ask, Is Christ multiplied?
A45274and beneficiall to men; and can they look upon themselves, as some withered bough fit only for the fire?
A45274and if we give way to these infinite distractions, where is the communion of Saints?
A45274and in this mutuall fruition, what can there be other then perfect blessedness?
A45274and such are we made in, and by him: what can now stand between us and blessednesse?
A45274and what are all of them, but a confluence of so many thousand worlds of beauty and brightnesse met in one firmament?
A45274and who can be otherwise affected that knowes and feels the infinite happinesse that offers it self to be enjoyed by him in the Lord Jesus?
A45274art thou not ashamed to think, how little sense thou hast had of thy great happinesse?
A45274but that thou wouldst love man, because thou wouldst?
A45274can they suppose that which by way of type was done in the earthly Paradise, to be really undone in the heavenly?
A45274fetch it from his Soveraignty; Wouldst thou have redemption?
A45274fetch it from his bloud; Mortification?
A45274fetch it from his crosse?
A45274fetch it from his grave; Newnesse of life?
A45274fetch it from his intercession; Wouldst thou have salvation?
A45274fetch it from his passion; Wouldst thou have absolution?
A45274fetch it from his perfect innocence?
A45274fetch it from his purchase; Audience in all thy suits?
A45274fetch it from his resurrection; Right to heaven?
A45274fetch it from his sacrifice; Cleansing from sin?
A45274fetch it from his session at the right hand of Majesty: Wouldst thou have all?
A45274fetch them from his anointing; Wouldst thou have power against spirituall enemies?
A45274he comforts himself in the conscience of a better treasure that can never be lost; Is he afflicted with sicknesse?
A45274he knows he is on his way home- ward; Is he imprisoned?
A45274his comfort is that the inward man is so much more renued daily, as the outward perisheth: Is he slandered and unjustly disgraced?
A45274his comfort is that there is a blessing, which will more then make him amends; Is he banished?
A45274his spirit can not be lockt in; God and his Angels can not be lockt out; Is he dying?
A45274how easily should I be rob''d of thee with every temptation?
A45274how entire must thou needs be with him, how dear must thy valuations be of him, how heartily must thou be devoted to him?
A45274how had I crucified thee the Lord of life?
A45274how much more reason hath her heart to be wholly ravished with both thine, which are so full of grace and amiablenesse?
A45274how shall the weak eyes of sinfull flesh ever be able to reach unto it?
A45274how should I be made the scorn and insultation of men and devils?
A45274how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
A45274perishing under our hand in the very use of them, and in the mean while how unsatisfying in the fruition?
A45274questions, Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
A45274since thou wouldst come down to our earth, why wouldst thou not enjoy the best entertainment that the earth could yeeld thee?
A45274that can see the invisible, and secretly enjoy that Saviour, to whom he is spiritually united?
A45274that hath his heart in heaven, whiles his living carkasse is stirring here upon earth?
A45274that they should bear me in their arms, that they should shield me with their protection?
A45274thee, who hast the keyes of hell, and of death, lying sealed up in another mans grave: Oh Saviour, whither hath thy love to mankinde carryed thee?
A45274though thousands of rams, or ten thousand rivers of oyle?
A45274thy precepts, thine examples, that so I may live thee, as well as preach thee?
A45274what a marvellous and happy exchange is here?
A45274what a world do we meet with of those, who mis- call themselves severall Religions, indeed severall professions of one and the same Christianity?
A45274what anguish of souls that would, and can not die?
A45274what confusion?
A45274what darknesse?
A45274what dreadfull horror is here?
A45274what everlasting burnings?
A45274what exquisitenesse, what infinitenesse of pains that can not, yet must be endured?
A45274what howling, and yelling, and shrieking, and gnashing?
A45274what interesse hath Christ in us but by our faith?
A45274what is become of Christianity?
A45274what mercilesse fury of unweariable tormentors?
A45274what never slaking tortures?
A45274what room can there be now here for onr diffidence?
A45274what sighs, and groans, and tears and bloud, hast thou spent upon us wretched men?
A45274what utter despair of any possibility of release?
A45274whence?
A45274who but thou( who art infinite in goodnesse) would love that which is not?
A45274who is offended, and I burn not?
A45274why should I, how can I be any otherwise, any whit lesse affected, O Saviour?
A45274would he be thus disposed as I now feel my self?
A45274would he speak these words that I am now uttering?
A45319And for the free use whereof he blessed that God to whom hee was sending up his soule?
A45319And would learned Capellus( thinke you) make himselfe so merrie at the view of this passage?
A45319Are you not sufficiently convinced herein, by the Synod of Laodicea?
A45319But how am I mistaken?
A45319But what doth this imply other, then that there were of old, prescriptions both of number, and time, and formes, though not expressed in the Law?
A45319But, Why may we not( you say) use the testimony of Antichrist, against Antichristian Bishops?
A45319But, where( ye say) were the rest of the peaceable and orthodoxe Bishops the while?
A45319Can they finde the roof in the foundation?
A45319Could hee not utter it without help of his fellowes?
A45319Did Doctor Hall faine that Luther said so?
A45319Did they either say, or think it, the more, because hee spake it?
A45319For first, have they ever professed their whole and sole intentions, or have they not?
A45319For what is it that hee sayes?
A45319Grant it to be larger then it is; is it yet Essentiall?
A45319How did they ere the more pray without a prompter?
A45319How is it more out of their heart, when they follow the Minister praying out of unknown conceptions, then out of foreknown prescription?
A45319How now, Brethren?
A45319I beseech you, brethren, what thinke you of the Lords Prayer?
A45319I cited but one, what needed you( but to shew the world you can tell something) to talk of two?
A45319I had thought you would have looked for the reclamation of erring soules by the power of preaching?
A45319If not, how come you to know what they never expressed?
A45319If peace bee the thing you desire, who is it that hath broken it?
A45319If the case bee equall, why doe you not labour to convince your people of so unjust a partialitie; and to reclaime them from so palpable an errour?
A45319If they have, why have you suppressed it?
A45319In good time, Brethren; And why should not I take leave to returne the same answer to you in this your tedious velitation of Episcopacie?
A45319In what sense you meant the self- confoundednesse you impute to me, what matters it to the Reader?
A45319Is it not more certaine that Christ is God and man?
A45319Is that a perfect platforme of our devotion, or is it not?
A45319Is the ground- work of an house, the whole frame of it?
A45319Let that bee as fond, as your exception is unseasonable; What is that to us?
A45319Let the Reader now judge, where this shuffling lies: The Canon requires one of these prayers to be in silence; what then?
A45319Must this bee an Article of our Creed,& c. Nothing more certaine?
A45319None in Idolatrous or Superstitious rites?
A45319None in corruption of Government?
A45319None in lawes Ecclesiasticall?
A45319None in matter of Practise?
A45319None in offensive Customes?
A45319Notes for div A45319e-1950 Doth hee say, those Iudges were called Areopagi?
A45319Now, how doth that concerne us?
A45319On what ground, I beseech you?
A45319Or doe these men feare that Luther is turn''d Papist?
A45319Or what such absurd project is there, in this just restraint?
A45319Say, Readers, is not this a likely testimony to bee produced against set formes of Prayer?
A45319Say,( as you have undertaken) what such huge difference there is betwixt King Iames his Book, and Queen Elizabeths?
A45319See the instances; In the same Epistle, I professe not to tax their abilities, and yet call them impotent assailants: And why not both of these?
A45319Some have made an Idol of their silver and gold, must I therefore cast away this metall?
A45319TO the fifth, The great distaste which these publick prayers meet withall, is truly lamentable, and the effect of that distaste, separation: yet more?
A45319Tell me, I beseech you, what thinke you of our Saviours Epitome of a Liturgie, the Lords Prayer?
A45319The Testimony can not be eluded, now it must be disparaged;[ Ioseph Scaliger had certainly but two Samaritan Chronicles] Who saies he had more?
A45319The question is not, what may cover our differences, but what may disunite our Churches?
A45319There is no one line in them, which I am not ready to justifie; what one word is here liable to exception?
A45319VVHat a windie Section have you past, wherein you confesse you have striven for words?
A45319Was it not prescribed for the help of the devotion of all disciples?
A45319Was it, then, that not the people, but the Minister was left to the liberty of his expressions?
A45319Was there no Reformation but in matter of Doctrine?
A45319We allow both, you would rob us of one, where is the sacriledge?
A45319Well: Compare Luther with the Bishop of Salisburie; two worthy Divines, what then?
A45319Were it a good ground of judgement, that he, who once erres, can never say true?
A45319Were the imposition amisse, what were this to the people?
A45319What Is it not more certaine that there is a God?
A45319What a Woolseian insolence were this?
A45319What businesse have we with that shorter Chronicle, which you will needs draw into mention?
A45319What call you eclipsing, if this be none?
A45319What can you make of these Allegations?
A45319What if to take a licence to preach from the hands of a Popish Bishop, seemed to him no better then to receive the marke of a Beast?
A45319What is it then that you would hence inferre?
A45319What is that to the people?
A45319What is, if this be not a plaine shuffle?
A45319What lose we by this condescent?
A45319What mean you, Brethren, thus to delude the Reader?
A45319What meane you, brethren, to urge so improbable a proof?
A45319What must the indifferent Reader needs think of this?
A45319What proof call you this?
A45319What reason have you to feoffe a private conceit on all?
A45319What, in so angry a confidence?
A45319What?
A45319Where I said, If the Divell confesse Christ to be the Sonne of God, shall I disclaime the truth, because it passed through a damned mouth?
A45319Where now is your charitie in raising such groundlesse intimations against your innocent brethren?
A45319Where, or wherein, Brethren?
A45319Wherein, I beseech you, brethren?
A45319Who can expect other but that a Samaritan should speak like himselfe, when it comes to a difference in Religion?
A45319Who can forbeare to smile at this doughty proofe?
A45319Why do you suffer your hands to widen that, which your tongues would seeme to close?
A45319Why, Brethren, was that word too big for one mans mouth?
A45319Will any Justice hold it enough to accuse?
A45319Will it follow from hence, that I affirme Bishops to have beene alwayes every where?
A45319Will those solid judgements bee likely to be swayed by colours?
A45319With a Church that allowes some of their wholesome prayers, or that which rejects and defies all, though never so holy, because theirs?
A45319Yet more anger; The Remonstrant rises higher and sets the Mitre above the Crown?
A45319and descant fearfully upon the word, Nothing more certain?
A45319and if I have disadvantaged my cause, why is it not urged to my conviction?
A45319are these things you mention, any part of the Leiturgie?
A45319are they found in any Rubrick of the Communion- book?
A45319are they prescribed by any law of the Church?
A45319dens Marmora Arundeliana?
A45319have they not hit the bird in the eye?
A45319or whether we might vary our prayers with our occasions?
A45319what is that to those, whose proceedings have beene square and innocent?
A45319what is that to us?
A45319what to the cause?
A45319whence were those passages of interchanged devotion, which the Centuriators themselves instance in, from Cyprian, fore- alledged by mee?
A45280ANd now, what is to be done?
A45280Alas, what anguish do I feel in my self to see the body of a malefactour flaming at a stake?
A45280And how safe are we under so many, and so mighty Protectors?
A45280And if any then of those spirits could have been originally evil, whence could he pretend to fetch it?
A45280And now, Lord, what pure and resplendent light is this, wherein thy blessed ones dwel?
A45280And what a strange confusion were this, in stead of an heavenly order of remuneration?
A45280But let thy favour, O God, order and accompany the deputation of the lowest of thine Angels; what can all the troops of hell hurt us?
A45280But, O ye blessed, immortal glorious spirits, who can know you, but he that is of you?
A45280Can we make any doubt that the blessed Angels know each other?
A45280Canst thou believe this O my soul, and yet recoil ● t the thought of thy departure?
A45280Do they despise these houses of clay, wherein they once dwelt?
A45280Doth Moses turn his rod into a serpent?
A45280Doth he smite the waters into bloud?
A45280For, how can we give him the honour due to his name, whiles we conceive too narrowly of him, and his works?
A45280God made all things good; sin could be no work of his: How should the good that he made, produce the evill which he hates?
A45280HOw often have I begged of my God, that it would please him to shew me some little glimpse of the glory of his Saints?
A45280He that can so easily transform himself, will seem to doe good; What cures doth he often work?
A45280How are my thoughts at a losse in this place of confusion?
A45280How can it be otherwise?
A45280How do they spend, not their time, but their eternity?
A45280How is the earth every where drenched with humane bloud?
A45280How justly did thine Ecstatical Apostle call it the inheritance of the Saints in light?
A45280How safe are we, since their power is limited, our protection infinite?
A45280How?
A45280Lastly, what life can there be properly but of the soul?
A45280Lo, his Armies are past all number, how much more his several souldiers?
A45280Nay, how oft hath he testified his prohibitions, and detestation of these courses?
A45280Oh for a fountain of tears to bewaile the stain of Gods people in all the coasts of the Earth: How is Christendome become an universall Aceldama?
A45280Or can we imagine that those Angelicall spirits do not take speciall notice of those souls which they have guarded here, and conducted to their glory?
A45280SUch are the respects of good Angels to us; now what is ours to them?
A45280SUch is the place, such is the condition of the blessed; What is their implement?
A45280Shortly, what is the end of our faith but sight?
A45280WHo can know how much he is bound to God for safe- guard, if he doe not apprehend the quality of those enemies, wherewith he is incompassed?
A45280WHo can think other, but that the great God of heaven loseth much glory by our ignorance?
A45280What a difference then there is of times, and means?
A45280What a life doth the presence of the Sun put into all Creatures here below?
A45280What can be wished more, where there is fulness of joy?
A45280What communion were there of Saints, if the departed souls were not ▪ and the soul, when it begins to be perfect, should cease to be?
A45280What woman or childe can not make faces at a fierce Lion, or a bloudy Bajazet lockt up fast in an iron grate?
A45280Who then, O God, who is able to stand before these sons of Anak?
A45280With them of old, there was no more but a word of command, and an instant ejection: here, what a world of business?
A45280Wo is me, what a dolefull, what a dreadful spectacle is this which is now presented to my soul?
A45280Wo is me, what throngs are carried to hell by these devillish impostures?
A45280alas this soul of mine knows not it self, how shall it know you?
A45280and how can that life be everlasting, which is not continued?
A45280and how could they hold a God, and no Spirit?
A45280and what doth that triumph suppose, but both a beeing, and a beeing glorious?
A45280at last perhaps when the body shall be resumed?
A45280being for dissolution?
A45280but in the exercise of the perpetual acts of their blessedness, vision, adhesion, fruition?
A45280but to think of a whole years broyling in such a fire, how can it but turn our bowels within us?
A45280every of their rods crawleth and hisseth as well as his?
A45280have we been preserved from mortall dangers which we could not tell how by our providence to have evaded?
A45280how do I dare to dance for a few minutes upon the mouth of hell with the peril of an everlasting burning?
A45280how into Angels?
A45280how much more when the great Dragon draws down the third part of the stars with his tail?
A45280how senselesse were it to grant that no knowledge is hid from them, but of themselves?
A45280how should sin come into the world?
A45280light unexpressible, light unconceivable, light inaccessible?
A45280or art thou so loath to take leave of a miserable companion for a while, on condition that he shall ere long meet thee happy?
A45280or have they with Pharaohs Courtier, forgotten their fellow- prisoner?
A45280or if there be a difference pleaded in the relations, where or how shal we finde it?
A45280or that continued, that is not?
A45280our obedience, more exact, our sins less and fewer then before we were thus heavily afflicted?
A45280presence?
A45280sanity for corruption?
A45280to these the forlorn companions of their pilgrimage and warfare?
A45280to what purpose were the resurrection of the body, but to meet with his old partner, the soul?
A45280were it not for this strong, and straight curb of divine providence, what good man could breath one minute upon earth?
A45280what absolute joy?
A45280what an ordinary traffique doth he hold of Charms, Spels, Amulets?
A45280what are we in such hands?
A45280what blessing of herbs, and other ingredients of suffumigation?
A45280what censing?
A45280what clear knowledge?
A45280what compleat felicity?
A45280what creature is there which doth not exchange life for death?
A45280what cunning conveyances are here of the foul spirit?
A45280what discoveries of thefts?
A45280what entire union?
A45280what powerfull illusions?
A45280what pure sanctity?
A45280what remedies of Diabolicall operations and possessions by the agency of Witches, Wisards, Magicians?
A45280what sincere charity?
A45280what sprinkling?
A45280what subtile hypocrisie?
A45280what the end of our hope but possession?
A45280what the end of our love but enjoying?
A45280what uproars do we find in the air?
A45280what variety of direfull ceremonies?
A45280what wonderfull majesty?
A45280what ● ommotions, and turbulencies upon earth?
A45280when he can at pleasure counterfeit an Angell of light?
A45280where any promise to concurre with it?
A45280wherefore serves the eye of reason and faith, but to see that lively and invisible power, which governs and comprehends it?
A45280who can but tremble to think of their number, power, malice, cunning and deadly machinations?
A45280why more in the resemblance of men, then of all other creatures since their deceit may be no lesse dangerous in either?
A45280yea, but when?
A45311( Loe, the wife of thy covenant; therefore too sure setled to be turn''d off upon every sleight occasion; what?
A4531124 V. Whether and how farre Monopolies are, or may be lawfull?
A453117. would he not straight say: some belike I am allowed to lye?
A45311?
A45311A poore neighbour that is constrained out of need?
A45311Alas, the Canon is peremptory; It is incestuous and unlawfull; what plea is there for continuance?
A45311And even amongst our selves, how apt we are to brand one another with this hatefull marke where there is no true merit of such a reproach?
A45311And if he may not be a Judge, who may be an executioner?
A45311And they called Rebecca, and said unto her, Wilt thou goe with this man?
A45311And what can be more contrary to the honour and obedience due to Parents, then to neglect them in the maine businesse that concernes our lives?
A45311And, Children obey your parents?
A45311As for Lyra, who is trayled in here, and cited strongly in Othoniels case, what shall I say?
A45311Besides, the Pharisees question[ Is it lawfull for a man to put away his wife for every cause?]
A45311But alas you say; I am poor my self, what need I then look forth for any other?
A45311But have there been( as he saith) precedents of this match?
A45311But what a loose point is this?
A45311But, indeed, what law ever said, Thou shalt kill that man whom thou knowest innocent, if false witnesse will swear him guilty?
A45311CASE V. Whom may we justly hold an Heretick; and what is to be done in the case of Heresie?
A45311Cozens German, he saith, have been allowed to marry; What is that to the present case?

A45311How farre and when am I bound to make restitution of another mans goods remaining in my hands?
A45311In this case what is to be done?
A45311Indeed, how can it be otherwise?
A45311Is it not because there is not a God in Israel that we goe to enquire of Baalzebub the God of Ekron?
A45311Is not that coast equally excluded, though not expressed?
A45311Is your heart therefore embroyled within you, with the guilt of some hainous sin?
A45311It is fit for every honest man to seeme as he is; what do you howling amongst Wolves, if you be not one?
A45311Now how can that marriage be in the Lord, which is against him?
A45311Or can we thinke that God will indure an union made by himselfe to be so sleightly dissolved?
A45311Or how is the Judge other then a partner in the injury, if for want of his seasonable interposition a good cause is lost, and a false plea prevailes?
A45311Or rather is not the forme of publique judgement perverted, when innocence suffers for the maintenance of a formality?
A45311Or what can be more horribly mischievous for a man, then to kill, that hee may steale?
A45311Or what do you amongst the Cranes, if you be a Storke?
A45311Or what necessity is there that the form of publique judgements should be perverted, unlesse an honest defendent must be undone by false sentence?
A45311Parker, what doubt we now?
A45311Secondly, upon what termes doe you lend?
A45311Shall we therefore say, It is from the North?
A45311Shortly; doe you enter into your armes, imprest, or voluntary?
A45311The latter I must answer affirmatively: If the ordinances be holy, why should not you take your part of them?
A45311Thirdly, if upon an absolute compact; is it upon a certainty, or an adventure?
A45311This question starts another more universall, how farre we may, or ought to make known the secret sin of another?
A45311To whom, but the owner?

A45311What a wrong were it therefore to the great Lord and giver of life, to steale out of the world, without his leave that placed us there?
A45311What doe I offer to particularize?

A45311What scruple can arise hence?

A45311Why may not I employ my restitution to the reliefe of my owne necessity?
A45311Why so late, when the remedy intended, would be as noxious as the disease?
A45311Woe is me: To what a passe is the world come that a Christian pretending to Reformation, should dare to tender so loose a project to the publique?
A45311Yea how apparently contrary is this practise to the very originall institution of marriage it selfe?
A45311Yea, what speake I of Divinity?
A45311You ask now, to whom you should tender restitution?
A45311and how can that be other then against the Lord; which is against the Lords commandement?
A45311and of those that do contract themselves, how weakly and insufficiently is it performed on many hands?
A45311and what faith is that?
A45311and what is that violence, but the injurious execution of those suggestions?
A45311and what is their faith, without a word?
A45311and what were this other then to invite men to be accessary to those crimes, which the law in a due way intends to puuish?

A02536And vvho knowes whether in that?
A02536And what differs our end from yours, but in hast and violence?
A02536And what feare without correction?
A02536Answere him with that worthy Disciple, Maister whether shall I go from thee, thou hast the words of eternall life?
A02536Are not the pointes controuerted still the same?
A02536Are we all vnlearned, vnsufficient?
A02536Are we then heretickes condemned in ourselues, wherin ouerthroew wee the foundation?
A02536As Paul to the Corinthes, is it so that there is not one wise man amongest vs?
A02536As if Christ had sayde to euery man, Goe teach, and whose sinnes ye remit: Howe Sencelesse are these two extreames?

A02536By the dear name of our common parents, what meanest thou, Arminius?
A02536Can no man be saued but hee that knowes euery thing in scripture?
A02536Can you more dislike your station, then wee all naturally distast goodnesse?
A02536Can you thinke this probable?
A02536Did feare of enuy, distrust of want?
A02536Did not our aduersaries quarrell enough before, at our quarrels?
A02536Do but see how God scorneth that vniust Prouerbe of the Iewes, That the fathers haue eaten sower Grapes, and the childrens teeth are set on edge?
A02536Doe wee not see all Christs first agents extraordinary Apostles, Euangelists, Prophets; Prophetesses?
A02536Dooth this become him that shall be once glorious vvith thee?
A02536Each man shal beare his own burden: is ours so light, that we cal for more waight,& vndertake what God neuer imposed?
A02536For( if wee looke to no other world) what gaine is it to be the keeper of the best earth?
A02536Had God neuer Church vpon earth, since the Apostles time, till Barrow& Greenwood arose?
A02536Hast thou prepared heauen for me, and do I thus prepare my selfe for heauen?
A02536Hath my deare Sauiour bought my soul at such a price, and shall he not haue it?
A02536Hath the Gospel shined thus long, and bright, and left some Corners vnseene?
A02536Haue we not a true desire to do faithful seruice to God and his Church?
A02536Haue wee not competent guifts from aboue, for so great a function?
A02536He charges, not to take so much as a staffe; yet after behold two swords: should the Disciples haue held their master to his owne rule?

A02536How many executors haue proued the executioners of honest wills?
A02536How many of the Ancients, after a forceable Ordination, became not profitable onely, but famous in the Church?
A02536How many thousand sue to her; and can not be look''t vpon?
A02536How much lesse are straungers?
A02536How much lesse ordination, which is but an outward admission to preach the gospel?
A02536How much more of neighbours, whom scarce a sea seuereth from each other?
A02536How rare is that man that prefers not himselfe to his dead friend?
A02536How should we, when all the euil in a Citie comes from the prouidence of a good God; which can neither be impotent, nor vnmercifull?
A02536How vaine are those temptations, vvhich( would make you a looser of all this praise; this recompence?
A02536Howe many moderate and wiser spirits haue we, that can not approue the Ceremonies, yet dare not forsake the Church?
A02536If it be truth thou affectest; what alone?
A02536If then notwithstanding vnpunnished sinnes wee may ioyne with the true Church: Whether is ours such?
A02536If they affirme it, when ceased we?
A02536If they deny it, Who then were so?
A02536If they make thee famous, and the Churche miserable; who shall gain by them?

A02536Let mee not aske whether your affections be estranged, but wherefore?
A02536Let this stand euicted for the true and necessary sense of the Apostle, and what is this, but to lay men in the ballance with God?
A02536Little difference is betwixt good differred, and euill done: Good was meant, who hindered it, will our conscience say?
A02536Looke into our Sauiours times: what corruptions were in the very Priesthood?
A02536No man vvill affirm it: some of them haue censured our excesse in some knowledge; none, our defect in all: What then?
A02536No zeal for Gods glory?
A02536No:( Let them meete together againe) saith the Apostle, not as a toleratiō, but as a charge?
A02536Not a man that knowes to deuide the word aright?
A02536Nothing that I know can be faulted in the ordering of Child- hood, but indulgence Foolish Mothers, admit of Tutors, but debarre rods?
A02536Now if the tongue speak not when it ought, shall we be so foolish as to blame the hand?
A02536Or to whom but the true God?
A02536Or who but you woulde not thinke the tyme mispent in answering it?
A02536Or, from which of these are we reuolted?
A02536Our blessed Sauiour sawe the glory of al Kingdomes,& contemned them: and can not the world look vpon vs Christians, but wee are be witched?
A02536See wee not fiery and clouen tongues descending ▪ What Church euer since boasted of such founders; of such meanes?
A02536Shall I thus recompence thy loue, in dooing that which thou hatest?
A02536Shall not the childe smart for the Parent; and shall wee( euen spiritually) for others?
A02536Shall we neglect the pursuit of vertue, because it pleases not, or rather displease, and neglect our selues, till it may please vs?
A02536So the Church may be still, would God thou wert wise alone?
A02536Some of them we can not doe; others wee neede not: which of vs can cast out diuels by command?
A02536Some they graunt, but not the right: as if they sayde?
A02536Take heede while you complaine of want, least pride shroude it selfe vnder the skirts of modestie; How many are thankfull for lesse?
A02536That frō an ignominious place, your soule is receyued to glory?
A02536That you alone may fare better then all Gods Saints?
A02536The same Gouernment, the same doctrine?
A02536The vnclean must be seperated, not by the people: I Would you haue no distinction betwixt priuate and publicke persons?
A02536Their Tradesmen may make true Ministers, our Ministers cānot: who but they wold not be ashamed of such a position?
A02536Their minds are changed, not our estate: Who hath admonished, euinced, eccommunicated vs; and when?
A02536There be more yet, which we neede not doe: VVhat neede wee to choose Ministers by Lot?
A02536There is nothing that I more desire to be taught, then what is true Nobilitie: What thanke is it to you that you are borne wel?
A02536Thinke not to extenuate your offence with the vain Titles of man- hood; what praise is this, that you were a valiaunt Murderer?

A02536What is good if not patience?
A02536What is( if this bee not) to make a monster of Christs body: hee is the heade, his Church the body, consisting of diuers limbes?
A02536What neede I to stir vp your constancy, which hath already amazed, and wearied your persecutors?
A02536What other God, Sauiour, Scriptures, Iustification, Sacraments, Heauen, do they teach beside vs?
A02536What remaynes but that wee applaud our selues in this happines;& walke on clearly in this heauenly professiō?

A02536Why blessed?
A02536Why haue you this respite of liuing, but to preuent the imperious necessity of death?
A02536Why wol ● d God begin with those which he meant not to continue, but to shew vs we may not alwayes looke for one face of things?

A45322ALas, Lord, how tenderly sensible I am of the least bodily complaint that can befall mee?
A45322Alas, we can not be but lame in all our obediences: What can fall from defective causes, but imperfect effects?
A45322And can wee doubt that it will be else- where better with us?
A45322And canst thou pretend to bee within the verge of heaven, and not rejoyce?
A45322And if we be wo nt to measure the worth of al things by their vertues and uses, and operations, what is it that your wealth can do?
A45322And were it so precious as you imagine, what hold have you of it?
A45322And what privilege can meer time give us in our duration?
A45322And whose fault is it but ours, if wee forget the engagements of our sicke beds?
A45322And why is this way narrow, but because it is untracked, and untrodden?
A45322Another, Are not these my rich Mines?
A45322Another, Is not this my royall and adored Magnificence?
A45322Are they restrained?
A45322Are you ever the wiser, ever the holier, ever the quieter for that which you have purchased with teares, and blood?
A45322Art thou in heaven and know''st it not?
A45322But above all other, did not those surpass in madnesse, who allowed of all Heresies, and professed to hold all opinions true?
A45322But had they beene double to the age of Methusaleh, could they have been so much as a minute to eternity?
A45322But narrow in respect of the weaknesse and insufficiency of our obedience?
A45322But what were the place, O my soule, how goodly& glorious soever in it self, if it were not for the presence of him whose being there makes it heaven?
A45322But, alas, what poor things are these in comparison of those heavenly promotions?
A45322Can it free you from cares?
A45322Can the Ward, after an hard pupillage chuse but rejoyce that the day is comming wherein he shall freely enjoy all his Lordly revenues and roialties?
A45322Can we not feed on good meate without a surfet?
A45322Can yee bee happier in a change?
A45322Canst thou make question of the truth of the Earnest?
A45322Cast thine eyes abroad into the world, what canst thou see but killing and dying?
A45322Cast thine eyes up into heaven, how canst thou but thinke of the place of thy approaching rest?
A45322Could they be lesse mad than they, that of the same Tree, would make a block for their fire, and a God for their Adoration?
A45322Could they be other than blasphemously mad, that held there are two Gods, one good the other evill, and that all creatures were made by the latter?
A45322Could they bee any other than mad men, that thought there was one God of the hils, another of the vallies?
A45322Could they bee any other than stark mad that would lance, and gash their owne flesh, because their Block did not answer them by fire?
A45322Could they bee other than mad which would worship Cain, Iudas, the Sodomites?
A45322Doe wee not know what abides for us above?
A45322HOw officious, O God, doe I see thy poore dumbe Creatures to us?
A45322HOw regularly, O God, hast thou determined a set season for all thy Creatures, both for their actions and their use?
A45322HOw slowly the houres seem to pace when we are big with the desire and expectation of any earthly contentment?
A45322Had I made them, I could but require of them their absolute submission: Why should I then exact of them, more than I am ready to performe unto thee?
A45322Hath the world benummed thee with such a dull stupidity that thou art growne regardlesse and insensible of eternall blessednesse?
A45322Have yee not found their promises false, their performances unsatisfactory, their disappointment irksome?
A45322Have yee not full often complained of the worthlesnesse, and satiety of these poore vanities here below?
A45322Hee that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow, saith the Kingly Preacher: Have I children?
A45322How canst thou containe thy selfe any longer within these bounds of my flesh, when thou feelest thy selfe thus initiated into glory?
A45322How canst thou then, bee, but pleasingly affected, O my soul, with the comfortable sense of having a God, a Savior, an heaven of thine own?
A45322How justly glorifiable is thy name in the gracious, and sometimes miraculous, preservation of thy Children?
A45322How many great wits are there in the world, which lie willingly concealed?
A45322How many successions and changes of Princes both at home, and abroad?
A45322How much good ground is there in the World, that is neither cultured nor owned?
A45322How much more wouldst thou have it thus in the best of all blessings, the eternell fruition of heaven?
A45322How oft have I not grudged to go a foule way to a friends house, where I knew my entertainement kind and cordiall?
A45322How past the admiration of men and Angels, is that transcendent proof of thy divine love, in the more than marvelous work of our Redemption?
A45322How should any perfect gift arise from the region of all imperfection?
A45322How should evill afford any good?
A45322How willingly, O Lord, should I stoop to this just condition of my Creation?
A45322I can not bee rid of envy: Have I knowledge?
A45322I can not bee void of cares: Have I honour?
A45322If I look into my study; what are all those books, but the monuments of other dead authors?
A45322If but a tooth begin to ake, or a thorn have rankled in my flesh, or but an angry Corne vexe my Toe, how am I incessantly troubled with the pain?
A45322If the question be of a sinfull act already committed, what a shuffling there is to face it out by a stout justification?
A45322In this sad case what is to bee done?
A45322Is the Sun to be blamed that the Travellers cloak swelts him with heat?
A45322Is the fruit of the Grape guilty of that Drunkennesse which followes upon a sinful excess?
A45322Is the question concerning Vertue?
A45322Is the question of sinne?
A45322Is there any thing in this miserable world that can be worthy to carry you away from the hopes and affectations of blessednesse?
A45322It is God that justifieth; who is he that condemneth?
A45322It was a just question of the wisest of men, A wounded spirit who can bear?
A45322Let the Sun shine never so bright, what is this to thee if thou bee blinde?
A45322Lord what troubles and sorrowes hast thou let me see, both my owne and others?
A45322Lord, how doe I see poore worldlings please themselves in the conceit of their miserable proprieties?
A45322Nay, were they not worse than mad, who if we may beleeve Hosius, and Lindanus, and Prateolus, worshipt the Devill ten times every day?
A45322No, alas, all our earthly contentments are like a Jewish Passeover, which wee must eate with soure herbes: Have I wealth?
A45322O God, how can we hope to avoid delusions upon earth, when even the face of heaven may thus deceive us?
A45322O My God, what a comfortable assurance is this which thou hast given to my soule?
A45322O my soul, how canst thou bee unmindfull of our parting, when thou art plyed with so many monitors?
A45322O then, with what unspeakable joy, and jubilation, dost thou entertaine thy happinesse?
A45322Oh what an heaven is this which thou hast canopied over our heads?
A45322One thinks, Is not this my great Babylon which I have built?
A45322Rather than health should make us godlesse, how much better were it for us to be alwaies sicke?
A45322Surely thine Apostle bids me rejoyce continually, and, who would not wish to do so?
A45322Surely, as we finde here, that the Sun puts out the fire, and the greater light ever extinguisheth the lesse: so why may wee not think it to be above?
A45322Thou knowest thy Originall is heavenly, why are not thy affections so?
A45322VIctory it selfe is the great reward of our fight; but what is it, O God that thou promisest to give us as the reward of our Victory?
A45322VVhat a sway of Providence is this that governes the world?
A45322WHat a fool were I, if I should thinke to finde that, which Solomon could not; contentment upon earth?
A45322WHat a subtile Devill wee have to deale with?
A45322WHat are all excellencies without respect of their use?
A45322WHy do wee complaine of the difficulty of a Christian profession, when we heare our Saviour say, My yoak is easie, and my burden is light?
A45322What a world of precious metals lies hid in the bowels of the earth, which shall never be coined?
A45322What abominable sacrilege in those that would bee zealous?
A45322What agonies in temptations?
A45322What alterations of Governments?
A45322What anguish in the oppressed and tormented?
A45322What can fall into my thoughts or desires, beside, or beyond that which is infinite?
A45322What canst thou finde here below worthy to either withdraw, or detain thee from those heavenly Mansions?
A45322What cruelties and barbarismes in revenges?
A45322What delicacies of Fouls and Fishes doe both Elements afford, which shall never come to the Dish?

A45322What ebbes and flowes of condition?
A45322What frenzies of rebellions?
A45322What grosse superstition in the ignorant?
A45322What havocks of warre?
A45322What insolence did I see in men of power?
A45322What is below but earth and hell?
A45322What is that makes heaven, but joy and felicity?
A45322What perfidiousnesse in friendship, what cozenage in contracts, what cruelty in revenges; Shortly, what an Hell upon Earth?
A45322What rage in men of bloud?
A45322What ruines and desolations of Kingdoms?
A45322What sacking of Cities?
A45322What shiftings and downfalls of Favourites?
A45322What should I need to instance in any more, or to contract a large Volume of Hereseology?
A45322What store of rich Pearles and Diamonds are hoarded up in the earth and sea, which shall never see the light?
A45322What then, what is it that thou canst sticke at, O my soul?
A45322What turnings of times?
A45322What underminings of treachery?
A45322What vicissitudes of sicknesse and health?
A45322When thou art all in all to us, what can the knowledge of any creature adde to our blessednesse?
A45322Whither are yee stray, O my thoughts?
A45322Who hath heard the Nightingale in the heat of harvest?
A45322Why should it not be thus alwaies with me?
A45322Why therefore, oh, why, should ye be loath to part upon faire termes?
A45322With what contempt now, dost thou looke downe upon those muddy foundations of earth, which the low spirits of worldlings are wo nt to admire?
A45322Yea, what speake I of the times of ignorance?
A45322Yea, what stand we upon this?
A45322and how favourable indulgence and remission in case of our faylings?
A45322and how is that again surrounded with severall heights of those lightsome Regions, unmeasurable for their glorious dimensions?
A45322and lie equally still to be shorne, or slain at our pleasure?
A45322and what doe I desire on earth in comparison of thee?
A45322and what gracious latitude hast thou given us in it of our Obedience?
A45322can it keepe you from head- aches, from Gouts, Dropsies, Feavers and other bodily distempers?
A45322can it lengthen your sleeps?
A45322can it make your account easier in the great day of reckoning?
A45322can it ransome you from death?
A45322concurring with, and actuating the motions and operations of all second causes of whatsoever is done in heaven, or in earth?
A45322hast thou no stomack to thy happinesse?
A45322how admirably beautifull?
A45322how bestudded with goodly Globes of Light?
A45322how carefully do I seek for a speedy remedy?
A45322how doe they beare our stripes with a trembling unresistance?
A45322how doe they fawne, or crouch, as they see us affected?
A45322how doe they run and fetch, and carry, and draw at our command?
A45322how feelingly doe I bemoane my selfe?
A45322how great and happie should I have seemed, not more in others eies, than in my own?
A45322how have I seen that poor Fowl, after the patience of a painfull hatching, clocking her little brood together?
A45322how immensely capacious?
A45322how patiently doe they yield us their milk and their fleeces for our advantage?
A45322how readily doe they spend their strength, and their lives in our service?
A45322if thou doe not earnestly wish for a full consummation of that heavenly match?
A45322it were strange, if without crosses: Have I pleasures?
A45322not without a sting: Have I health?
A45322not without the inconveniences of satiety: Have I beauty?
A45322not without the threats of disease: Have I full diet?
A45322or the Bittern bearing her base in the coldest Moneths?
A45322over- ruling the highest, and stooping to the meanest peece of thy Creation?
A45322what assurance to enjoy it, or your self but one hour?

A02531But whom doe I see wondring?
A02531But, O Father of all mercies, how little pleasure doest thou take in the bloud of sinners?
A02531But, what shall we thinke of this?

A02520An ignorant pesant hath digg''d up a lump of pretious Ore, doe we not smile at him, if he be unwilling the finer should put it into the fire?
A02520And doe we not think he sorrowed more for his owne sinnes?
A02520And for the quality of their sustenance; what shall we say to the diet of some votaries?
A02520And how great a madnesse is it to place our contentment upon meere transitorinesse, to fall in love with that face which can not stay to be saluted?
A02520And how well shouldst thou be pleased with his approach?
A02520And if I may not take pleasure in my recreation, how is it such?
A02520And is there plentious redemption for all, and none for thee?

A02520And why did he yeeld to death, but to overcome him?
A02520And, if he have made us the Lords of the world, why are we wilfull beggers?
A02520Are we more learned, and more devout then the Fathers?
A02520Art thou therefore subject to choler?
A02520As for the Sacramentarian quarrels, Lord, how bitter have they beene, how frequent, how long, in six severall successions of learned conflicts?
A02520As for the comfort of conjugall society, what other did our good God intend in the making of that meet helper?
A02520Because thou hast wronged God in his justice, wilt thou more wrong him in his mercy?
A02520Doe I professe their faith, doe I looke for their glory, and shall I partake nothing of their courage?
A02520Doe we see so many thousands of them then dye for us, and shall we think much to returne our life to our Creator?
A02520Dost thou pray daily to him to forgive thee, as thou forgivest others, whiles thou resolvest to forgive none, whom thou canst plague with revenge?
A02520Doth any thing befall thee different from the best, and all of thy kind?
A02520Even he that could say, Shall I come to you with a Rod, or with the spirit of meekenesse?
A02520Had any man before- hand said, Death is in the pot, which of the children of the Prophets durst have been so hardy as to put in his spoone?
A02520Hath good Melaina lost her husband, and her children at once?

A02520He may be worse, but who ever is the better for his yesterdayes feast?
A02520He that dyed for thee, that he might rescue thee from death; shall he, can he doome thee to that death from which he came to save thee?
A02520Hope and Charity; And need we care for more then these?
A02520How long then wilt thou sleep, O sl ● ggard?

A02520How many sowre Crabs, which for beautie have surpassed the best Fruit in our Orchard?
A02520How no lesse rise then insatiable are these desires of men?
A02520How unjustly branded with heresie?
A02520I have lost my goods; were they mine first?
A02520I see many sweating in the mint upon severall imployments, they have money enough under their hands, what are they the richer?
A02520I will then( said Pyrrhus) saile over to Sicily; And vvhat wilt thou doe, said Cyneas, vvhen that is vvon?
A02520If I may not joy in my children, what difference is there to me betwixt my owne, and other mens, save that my care is more without hope of requitall?
A02520If I may not take contentment in the wife of my youth, wherefore is she mine?
A02520If I may take no pleasure in one food above another, what use is there of my taste?

A02520If thy debt bee still called for, wherefore was thine obligation cancelled?
A02520If thy sinne remaine, wherefore serves his bloud?
A02520Is his mercy cleane gone for ever?
A02520Is it not thy Saviour that sits there?
A02520Is not this the condition, upon which thou receivedst life, to part with it when it should be called for?
A02520Is not thy life thus made miserable before it come?
A02520Is there any man here condemned for an heretick, but hee who dirctly affirmes, confesses, maintaines opinions truly damnable?
A02520Is there any so unjust Arbiter of things, as to upbrayd these Paradoxes to the Roman Church, who professeth their dislike?
A02520Lastly, look but upon the termes wherein thou standest with God; how grievously dost thou provoke him every day to his face?
A02520Lastly, thou fearest death; Is it not that thy Saviour underwent for thee?
A02520Lo this was Christs owne ordination, was it not therefore his practice?
A02520Look back upon all that have been before thee, where are those innumerable numbers of men which peopled the earth but in the last century of yeares?
A02520My goods are lost; were they not only lent me for a time, till they should be called for?
A02520O good Iesus where wert thou, whil ● s I was thus handled?
A02520Oh then, lay hold on the large, and illimited mercy of thy God, and thou art safe: What cares the debtor for the length of a bill that is crossed?
A02520Or what can be a greater pleasure to our adversaries, then to see us thus bickering with our selves?
A02520Or, hath the Lord cast off for ever?

A02520S. Paul puts it to the choyse of his Corinthians; Will ye that I come to you with a Rod, or with the spirit of meekenesse?
A02520Say that thou were sentenced to live some hundreds of yeares, with thine infirmities to boot, what a burden wouldst thou be to thy selfe?
A02520Shall I see a Cleombrotus, casting himselfe resolutely from the rock, to enjoy that separate life of the soule which Plato discoursed of?
A02520Shall I see a bold Roman spurring his horse, to leap down into a dreadfull Gulfe, for the benefit of those from whom he can not receive thanks?
A02520Shortly then, am I visited with sicknesse?
A02520Tell me then, thou weak man, thou fearest death: will it not come if thou feare it not?
A02520That old Dragon, when he saw the woman flying to the wildernesse to avoyde his rage; what doth hee?
A02520The second remedy, is the due consideration of the object of our desires: Alas, vvhat poore stuffe is this vvherewith vve are transported?
A02520They have done violence to the Lord of Life, our blessed Redeemer; what have wee done unto them?
A02520Thou art afraid of death: Hast thou well considered from how many evills it acquites thee?
A02520Thou art afraid of death: what a slaughter dost thou make every houre of all other creatures?
A02520Thou art an hainous sinner: Wherefore came thy Saviour?
A02520Thou fearest death; How many heathens have undergone it with courage?
A02520Thou foole, this night shall they take away thy soule, as vvas said to the rich projector in the parable, and then whose shall all these things bee?
A02520WHat then is there incident into the whole course of humane life, but matter of practice, or matter of speculation and judgement?

A02520What enemy may not rush into such a City at pleasure?
A02520What forme can not this humour put on?

A02520What should I mention the toleration and yearly rent of publique stewes?
A02520What should I speak of the Tables of Zacheus, of Simon the Pharisee, of Martha and Mary?
A02520What speak I yet of this, when he that was greater then Solomon, sanctified feasting by his owne blessed example?
A02520What speak we of this?
A02520What was that other then honest simplicity?
A02520What was the mule in Plutarch, after his lying down in the water, troubled with the melting of that burden of salt, which he carryed?

A02520Who ever knew any man that by the superfluity of earthly contentments grew more wise, more learned, more vertuous, more devout?
A02520Who knowes not the bare feet and patched cloaks of the famous Philosophers amongst the heathen?
A02520Why should wee then admit of this wrong in each other?
A02520Why was death suffered to seize upon that Lord of life, but that by dying he might pull out the sting of death?
A02520Would wee have the Arch- Enemie of Mankind beleeved in all his suggestions against our innocence?
A02520Yea, how many have I known that have eagely sought for death and can not finde it?
A02520Yea, if I may not take pleasure in the works of my calling, what difference is there betwixt a slave and me?
A02520and because thou hast wronged him in both, wilt thou wrong thy selfe in him?
A02520and dost thou call thy self the son of that Father, whom thou wilt not imitate?
A02520and how doe we feele them, if we sorrow not?
A02520and what can it be but selfe- love that makes me more sensible of my owne losse, then my childes glory?

A45315Wherefore serves the excellent variety of Flowers, surpassing Solomon in all his glory, but to please his eie?
A45315Whether, Lord, is it my wretchednesse to suffer my self to be rob''d of thee, for the time, by temptation?
A45315Whither now, O whither do ye rove O my thoughts?
A45315Whom shall we hope to finde free from cruelty of revenge, when even the Disciple of Love was thus over- taken?
A45315Why are not my affections homeward?
A45315Why do I clog my self in my way with the base and heavy lumber of the world?
A45315Why do I intermeddle with the affaires of a nation that is not mine?
A45315Why do I not long to see and enjoy my fathers house?
A45315Why do I not look beyond death, at the eternally- blessed condition of this soul of mine; which in my dissolution is thus crowned with immortality?
A45315With what elegance and force doth the holy Ghost express our Saviours leaving of the world; which he cals his taking home again; or his receiving up?
A45315Yea, what Creature but he is capable to survey Gods wonders in the deep?
A45315Yea, when God himself is justly stiled the possessor of Heaven, and Earth?
A45315Yet, when did I bless thee for any of them?
A45315and how can patience have its perfect work, where it is not?
A45315and how could he be a theif in his office, if his bags were empty?
A45315and shall therein alone bestow a blessed eternity?
A45315and to be as insensible of the great works of God, as the ground that he treads upon?
A45315and wherefore serves the various musick of Birds, but to please his ear?
A45315and who is so fit a match for the great Adversary as this Champion of God?
A45315and, as if he would have it sleighted for some forlorn out- cast, he charges us, not to make provision for the flesh: What?
A45315breaking down Altars?
A45315burning of Cities?
A45315but that I have any helps of my wel- beeing here; or hopes and means of my being glorious hereafter, how far is it beyond the reach of my soul?
A45315can they think themselves priviledged by the liberty of prophesying to coyn new articles, to deface old?
A45315demolition of walls?
A45315did the blessed man retire to some desart, far from all humane society, that he might enjoy this heavenly company alone?
A45315for, when ever was there so much prophaneness, atheism, blasphemy, schism, excess, disobedience, oppression, licentiousness, as we now sigh under?
A45315had not himself and his family been furnished with a meet stock raised from hence; what purse was it which Judas bore?
A45315how can they yeeld any stay to you, that have no settlement in themselves?
A45315how couldst thou more depress thy self, then thus to match thy self with us poor wretched creatures?
A45315how couldst thou more exalt us, then to raise us unto this entireness with thee the All- glorious, and eternal Son of God?
A45315how do I anticipate my evils by distrust?
A45315how infinitely doth his bounty transcend not the practise onely, but the admiration of man?
A45315how little do these censurers know to pass a true judgment of wisdom and folly?
A45315how teeming hath this barren womb of my heart been of false conceptions?
A45315how variously am I construed by men?
A45315my Saviour in an Agonie, and an Angel strengthening him?
A45315or do I say of the messenger as David said of Ahimaaz; He is a good man, and brings good tidings?
A45315or how can he wish to close up his eyes with any other object?
A45315or if covetously minded, would sit down content with one dram of gold?
A45315or is not this the condition of all those, of whom he can say in the next words, ye are Christs?
A45315or one of the long robe, a Souldier?
A45315shall we think the holy man was faln out with a part of himself?
A45315since my heart can be sometimes in Heaven, why should it not be alwaies there?
A45315spoyling of houses?
A45315the devouring of her land?
A45315thou bottomless abyss of misery to the wicked; thou indeterminable pitch of joy to the Saints of God; what soul is able to comprehend thee?
A45315to contemplate the great fabrick of the Heavens?
A45315vastation of her tents?
A45315we must go out of our selves, into the God of our strength: If we have made him ours, who shall, yea, who can be against us?
A45315were ever the Presses so cloyed with frivolous work?
A45315were this the errand; why did not all that blessed Chore of celestial spirits joyn their forces together in so high an imployment?
A45315what Israelite is not ready to run away at the sight of this Goliah?
A45315what meer Ice is in these spiritual veins?
A45315what strength of understanding is able to conceive of thee?
A45315what wilde and mad opinions have been lately broached, which the setled brains of better ages could never have imagined?
A45315wherefore doth the father whip the childe, but that he would have him smart; and by smarting bettered?
A45315whither hast thou withdrawn thy self?
A45315who offendeth, and I weep not?
A45315wiser then the whole Church of God that hath been upon earth ever since the Apostles of Christ inclusively, in all successions to this present time?
A45214A difference?
A45214A main question of faith is propounded to the Apostles and Elders of Hierusalem; but what?
A45214Additions and Alterations?
A45214Alas, brethren, what needed this to be a scruple in your thoughts, or your words, when it is in expresse termes granted by us?
A45214And hath it so?
A45214And if so, who were then Bishops?
A45214And if the Lords Prayer be yeelded for an ordinary and stinted forme, why not others?
A45214And what I beseech you is the worke of an Evangelist, but to preach the Evangell, or good tydings of peace?
A45214And what say the Fathers at Carthage?
A45214And what say the admired Areopagi, the grave Judges of Athens?
A45214And what sayes Antichrist?
A45214And why should not I speake of Martyrs, as the Authors and users of this holy Liturgie?
A45214And why should that seeme harsh in us, which soundeth well in the mouthes of lesse- interessed Divines?
A45214Are all our Bibles Prelaticall too?
A45214As for their other testimony, it is lesse to the purpose; Who ever denied that some things are to be asked according to every mans occasion?
A45214As if some monster suddenly presented it selfe to you, you aske, Was ever such a thing heard of in the best primitive times?
A45214Brethren, what an injurious imputation is this?
A45214Brethren, what means this, whether simplicity, or scorne?
A45214But Ignatius was the Disciple of the Apostles, from whence then had he this Hierarchie but from the Apostles?
A45214But how appears it?
A45214But tell me brethren what can be your drift in this your tedious relatiō?
A45214But what a poore exception is this?
A45214But what, I beseech you, was this process of time?
A45214But why more here( they say) then in other Reformed Churches?
A45214But wil it hence follow that in the sense you contend for, they had a Setled Lay Presbytery?
A45214Can one uniforme expression bee the originall act of many thousand braines, and tongues?
A45214Can ye but blush at this envious and groundlesse suggestion?
A45214Could yee imagine me to meane, that every place through the whole world hath had a continued Line of Bishops ever since the Apostles?
A45214Did he not wish would to God they were cut off that trouble you?
A45214Did the Apostle say, reject none but an Heretick?
A45214Do they not care to lose their cause, so they may crosse an Adversary?
A45214Do we not give you the title of Rectores Ecclesiarum?
A45214Doe we abridge this liberty by ordaining a publique forme?
A45214Doe we not in your institution commit to you regimen animarum?
A45214Doe you exclude Bishops, Deans, Archdeacons,& c. from being members of the Church of England?
A45214Doth any man claime this as essentiall to his Episcopacie?
A45214Doth any man stand upon it, as a piece of his spirituall power?
A45214Fie brethren, are ye Presbyters of the Church of England, and dare challenge Episcopacie of faction?
A45214For Timothy, ye say the Text is cleare: but what Text, what the least intimation have you for Titus?
A45214For shame brethren, did ever man make this an article of faith?
A45214For shame, Brethren, eate this word; What?
A45214HOw justly may I say, Readers, of these men as the King of Israel said of the King of Syria: See I beseech you, how they seeke a quarrell against me?
A45214Had all those of Sardis a name to live, and were dead?
A45214Had you spoken but such a word in the time of holy Cyprian, whom you frequently cite, as a patterne of good discipline, what had become of you?
A45214Hath not Episcopall imparitie continued in them, all this while?
A45214Have they a minde to goe beyond us in asserting that necessity, and essentiall use of Episcopacy, which we dare not avow?
A45214Have you beene urged to subscribe to any other Ceremonies, than have been established by the Lawes of this Realme& Church?
A45214Have you forgotten how by vertue of his Apostleshippe hee charges, Commands, Controllers, Censures?
A45214Have you not seen M r Fr: Masons Vindication of our succession?
A45214He therefore holds those, that are set over the people worthy of double honour; And why double?
A45214Here are but four ranks of Dignities, and few in each; put if that inclusive,[& c.] reach far, yet what will you make of all this?
A45214Herod the King stretched out his hands to vexe certaine of the Congregation: Was his malice onely Parochiall?
A45214I acknowledge the words of Iohannes Major, I wish they had not been without, either before, or since; but what is this to my assertion?
A45214I can tell the world that your selves oppose it; what of that?
A45214If I find gold in the Channell, shall I throw it away because it was ill laid?
A45214If he comply with them in good words, he Rhetoricates?
A45214If he crosse them in plaine termes, he is false?
A45214If it be evill, it is unlawfull to be used; If good, it is not unlawfull to be imposed: And were the imposition amisse, what is that to the people?
A45214If it be not set, how is it an order?
A45214If no body, whether hee that intimates it doth not falsifie and slander?
A45214If not, how come ye to see them?
A45214If the Devills confessed Christ the Son of God, shall I disclaime that truth, because it passed through a damned mouth?
A45214Is it to ordaine others to that worked?
A45214Is it to rule, to governe by admonition, and by other censures?
A45214Is the whole Church all the world over Antichristian, even those, which are no lesse angry at Rome then your selves?
A45214Is there any man that offers to undertake their patrocination?
A45214Is there no distinction to be had betwixt the calling, and the abuse?
A45214It is God that makes the Bishop, the King that gives the Bishoprick: what can you say to this?
A45214Let them have beene as foule as ill will can make them; Let them have been in their times Devills incarnate; what is that to us?
A45214Mary; if we may beleeve Damasus himselfe, after Marcellinus, for 7. years, 6. moneths, and 25. daies?
A45214No diligence in preaching?
A45214No holinesse in living?
A45214Now what should a man doe with such sullen and crabbed pieces as these?
A45214Or doe ye make no difference betwixt an intermission and an interruption?
A45214Or how comes he elsewhere to name Bishops made by the Apostles, and to confesse that before his time there had been many successions?
A45214Reasons moving me to this opinion?
A45214So say we too; But when began the distinction?
A45214Spiritus sanctus vos constituit Episcopos?
A45214Stirre up the gift of God which is in thee by the imposition of my hands; mine, not others: I aske then, Was Timothy ordained more then once?
A45214Such, as we stil are wo nt out of the ancient appellation, to style Aldermen?
A45214Sure, brethren, you can not be so ignorant as you make your selves; Have you not seen M r Foxes Acts and Monuments?
A45214Tell me, Is this Liturgie good or evill?
A45214Tell me, brethren, Do ye like, or beleeve this assertion, because a Pope said it?
A45214That the Apostle Paul laid his hands on Timothy?
A45214The Elders I exhort who am also a fellow- Elder, feede the flock; How is hee a fellow- Elder, but because he is a teacher as they?
A45214The Homilies are left free( they say) to be read or not, by preaching Ministers; why not then the Liturgie?
A45214The Presbyters then chose their Bishops: who doubts it?
A45214They tell me of one scruple yet remaining; It is well, if there be no more: And what may that be?
A45214To answer you in your own kind: when, or where did our bishops challenge power to ordaine alone, to govern alone?
A45214VVho can doubt that they had Magistrates and men in authority?
A45214VVho can make question but that Carthage and Hippo, and other African Cities, had old and grave men in them?
A45214Vpon this Rocke will I build my Congregation: was this a Parish onely?
A45214Was it Episcopall power that enacted them?
A45214Was their Church ere the more( according to your construction) governed by Pastors, Elders, Deacons?
A45214Were all the Laodicean Ministers of one temper?
A45214Were not the quarrels betwixt the Grecians and Hebrews for the maintenance of their widows, an evill occurrence?
A45214What Baptisme?
A45214What Christ?
A45214What Eucharist?
A45214What Heaven?
A45214What Scripture?
A45214What a poore shift is it to tell me of the contradiction that Episcopacie hath had since the Reformation?
A45214What bounds?
A45214What can be more thank- worthy, then to reclaime erring soules?
A45214What can you say to this?
A45214What distinction?
A45214What have I professed concerning conceived prayers, but that which I ever allowed, ever practised, both in private, and publike?
A45214What high points shall wee now expect trow wee?
A45214What if Innovations in Religion be cryed out of, as not to be indured?
A45214What if great Elogies and Apologies have been cast away upon it, by learned men, since that time?
A45214What if that silly and ignorant Martyr, D r Taylor, could magnifie it to B. Gardner, and others, as complete?
A45214What if the weak judgement of K. Iames, upon some pretended reasons, decreed all forbearance of any farther change?
A45214What in the present Liturgie?
A45214What is this to a prescribed forme?
A45214What is this to the nature of the calling?
A45214What is, if this bee not Ordination and Jurisdiction?
A45214What means this wickedly false suggestion?
A45214What new Creed?
A45214What then is the difference?
A45214What?
A45214Whereas I say the government hath continued without any interruption, they aske jeeringly, What at Rome?
A45214Whether Episcopacie be of Divine right?
A45214Whether there bee any question at all in the fifth question?
A45214Whether these answerers have the wit or grace to understand the true meaning of the Ius Divinum of Episcopacie?
A45214Who can doubt that they did in all great occasions of the Church take the advise, and assistance of these prime men?
A45214Who ever challenged( in that sense which you faine to your selves) a sole Jurisdiction?
A45214Why do you object that to us, wherewith the Presbyterian part may be more justly choaked?
A45214Why doe they not aske, how wee can prove that those Apostolicall Bishops had Notaries, Registers, Advocates, Consistories?
A45214Why is it a greater fault in one of our Doctors to hold the Lords day to stand Iure bumano, then it was in Master Calvin?
A45214Why will ye therefore bear your Readers in hand, that we herein rob you of your right?
A45214Why will you with some show of learning confute that, which you yeeld us to confesse?
A45214Ye need not learne it of Saravia, he himselfe tels you, When divisions began: And when that?
A45214Yea, but can you tell us what kind of Flock it was, whether Nationall, or Provinciall, or Diocesan?
A45214Yet to mend the matter, This( say they) was a forme of a mans owne prescribing: Were it so, wherein is that the better?
A45214You adde, Election upon faith foreseene; What?
A45214You object to your selfe the authority of some Fathers, that have called Timothy and Titus Bishops: Some?
A45214You say peremptorily, it was not written from Nicopolis; neither was Paul then there: how appeares it?
A45214You tel us What an unpreaching Bishop once said of a Preacher; I challeng you to shew any unpreaching Bishop in the Church of England this day?
A45214You tell mee of some irreligious ones, that have as strongly upheld Satan and his Antichrist against the truth of GOD; What is this to the calling?
A45214and if some one have passed an hyperbolicall praise of it, must it therefore be marred in mending?
A45214and why should we be more tyed to their formes, then those of all other Christians, Grecians, Armenians, Cophs, Abassine, Arabian, Egyptian?
A45214are there no Bishops but at Rome?
A45214are these the onely remarkable works that your eyes could discover to fall from the hands of Bishops?
A45214because Timothy and Titus( yee say) were Evangelists, and so moved in an higher sphere; Liberally and boldly spoken; but where is your proofe?
A45214but that each of these famous Churches were under their own Star, or Angel; but those churches( you say) were not Diocesan: How doth that appeare?
A45214by Praier and imposition of hands?
A45214can not I tell you of some wicked and irreligious Presbyters, shall the function it selfe therefore suffer?
A45214could I doubt whether these very men oppose it?
A45214could you see no Colledges, no Hospitalls built?
A45214doth the errour of every addle head?
A45214if so, why can not we?
A45214if the formes were meerly arbitrary, to what use was the prescription of an Order?
A45214if they difference men, doe they difference Christians?
A45214must it needs be so in plaine narrations, where it is limited by just Praedicates?
A45214no Churches re- edified?
A45214no care of the peace of the Church?
A45214no disorders corrected?
A45214no good offices done for the publique?
A45214no great offenders punished?
A45214no heresies confuted?
A45214no hospitality kept?
A45214no learned Volumes written?
A45214no seduced persons reclaimed?
A45214not in the essentiall points, but in some accidents, and outward formalities; Whose fault is that?
A45214nothing but grosse untruths?
A45214once surely S. Pauls hands were laid upon him, when therefore the Presbyters?
A45214or because it is so in one phrase of speech, must it bee so in all?
A45214or if they did, whether they could possibly be so absurd, as to raise so sensless and inconsequent inferences upon it?
A45214or is it any advantage to you to make their memory yet more odious?
A45214or the sight or posture of a Boord make a different Church?
A45214otherwise, why doe you argue from the want of directions to them, as inferiours?
A45214ours was before theirs; why did not they conforme to us; rather, then we come back to them?
A45214say you; Whence then proceed so many ▪ Additions and Alterations, that have changed the face, and fabrick thereof?
A45214shall wee thinke shee was wife to the whole company, or to one Bishop alone?
A45214sleight you them as you please, we blesse God for such Patrons of our good cause: What a poore returne is this?
A45214tell me, I beseech you brethren, are they visible, or are they not?
A45214that they were composed by some particular men; Was it ever heard that a whole Church together framed a forme of prayer?
A45214that thou maist ordain Elders in every City ▪ what kind of Elders?
A45214to be decided by Lay- Men?
A45214under some Bishop, though not under Timothy?
A45214unlesse you mean to comprse all Preachers under this name?
A45214what frivolous and delusory exceptions are these to all wise men; and how strangely savouring of a weak judgement, and strong malice?
A45214where or what?
A45214wherein?
A45214which are ready to be censured rather for too great observance of Soveraignty?
A45214who were those?
A45214who will thinke you worthy to have any faith given you in the rest of your assertions?
A45214why should not we glory in their name and Authority?
A45214why should the calling,& others innocence suffer?
A45324& all from no other ground then this, that they know not how to abound?
A45324A world of sinners?
A45324After others envy, the next attendant upon greatnesse is our own cares; how doe these disquiet the Beds, and sawce the Tables of the wealthy?
A45324And as for outward dangers, what an happy immunity doth commonly blesse the poore man?
A45324And now after this heavenly repast, how doe I feel my self?
A45324And whom have wee seene more healthfull and active, then the children of poor men, trayned up hardly in their Cottages with fare as little, as course?
A45324As for Beauty, what is it, but a dash of Natures tincture laid upon the skinne, which is soon washt off with a little sickness?
A45324As for Honour, what a meer shadow it is?
A45324As for that other passion of grief, what wofull work doth it make in ungoverned mindes?
A45324Beef, as Phesant?
A45324But if those Beauties could bee as permanent, as they are glorious, how vvould they carry away our hearts with them?
A45324But, put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, saith the Apostle: Would I have medicine?
A45324Can I finde my sins accessary to this thy death, and thy death meritoriously expiating all these my grievous sins, and not remember thee?
A45324Can I hear thee freely offering thy self to me, and feel thee graciously conveighing thy self into my soul, and not remember thee?
A45324Can I see thee thus crucified before my eies,& for my sake thus crucified, and not remember thee?
A45324Christ is to me to live; I am the resurrection and the life: Would I have all spirituall things?
A45324Do we suffer?
A45324Doe we not see some vain churl, though cryed down by the multitude, herein secretly applauding himself, that he hath bags at home?
A45324Doest thou bid me, O Saviour, doe this in remembrance of thee?
A45324Doth God call for his ear?
A45324For first, vvhat an advantage is it, to be free from those gnawing cares, which( like Tityus his Vulture) feed upon the Heart of the Great?
A45324Have I a minde to some one curious dish above the rest?
A45324He is the Tree of life, the leaves whereof are for the healing of the Nations: Would I have safety and protection?
A45324He whose wee are, knows sicknesse to bee for the health of the soul; whether should we in true judgement desire?
A45324How can I enough celebrate thee for this thy unspeakable mercy?
A45324How can I fail of all contentment?
A45324How can I without a Guide?
A45324How can he be over- affected with triviall profits, or pleasures, who is taken up with the God of all comfort?
A45324How can he complain of thirst, out of whose belly flow rivers of living water?
A45324How can he complain to want light, that dwels in the midst of the Sun?
A45324How can he forbeare to take away from us his sleighted mercies?
A45324How can he hold his hand from plaguing so ingratefull disrespects of his favours?
A45324How displeasedly doth the begger look upon the larger almes of his neighbour?
A45324How fair is thy love, my sister, my Spouse?
A45324How is his passion lively acted before mine eyes?
A45324How is my Saviour by all my senses here brought home to my soul?
A45324How many have shut their eyes in an healthfull sleep, who have waked in another vvorld?
A45324How many have we known, that have found too much flesh a burden?
A45324How many have we knowne, that out of thought for unrecoverable losses, have lost themselves?
A45324How many worthy inhabitants make choice to fixe their abode within these wals, as not knowing where to be happier?
A45324How much more scope have we then they?
A45324How shall they beleeve except they hear?
A45324How soon would it cleare up above head, if we were but holily affected within?
A45324How unworthy shall I be, if I doe not strive to answer this love of my God and Saviour, in all hearty affection, and in all holy obedience?
A45324How witless a thing it is for a man to torment himself with the thoughts of those evils, that are past all remedy?
A45324I am the way, and the truth: Would I have life?
A45324I hear many a parent wish himself so: Am I banished from my home?
A45324I will put my knife to my throat, and not humour my palate so far as to taste of it: Doe I receive a Letter of newes from a far Countrey, over night?
A45324I, that now complain of the load of seventy one yeers, how should I be tyred out, ere I could arrive at the age of Parre?
A45324IS it solitude and infrequence of visitation?
A45324If Death doe not snatch us away from them, how many thousand means of casualties, of enemies, may snatch them away from us?
A45324If it were better, I should be worse; more proud, more carelesse; and what a wofull improvement were this?
A45324If the clay had sense, what a mad thing were it for it to struggle with the Potter?
A45324If thou wilt be extream to mark what is done amisse, O Lord who may abide it?
A45324If we murmure at what we wish?
A45324Impotent, wretched creatures, that had despighted thee, that had no motive for thy favour but deformity, misery, professed enmity?
A45324In the failing whereof, how is the Conscience affected?
A45324Indeed, what can we cast our eyes upon, that doth not put us in minde of our frailty?
A45324Is Christ mine therefore?
A45324Is he invited to Gods feast?
A45324Is it an allotment to the same room without change, without remove?
A45324Is it in a desire to approve my self to my God, in the conscience of my humble obedience to his command, and my holy attendance upon his Ordinance?
A45324Is it not rather thy bloud of the New testament, that is poured out for me?
A45324Is it to please others eyes, or to avoid their censures?
A45324Is it to satisfie my own curiosity in hearing what the Preacher will say?
A45324Is it to satisfie the law, that requires my presence?
A45324Is it to see, or to be seen?
A45324Is the heart heavy with the grievous pressures of affliction?
A45324It shall keep my pillow warme till the morning: Doe my importunate recreations cal me away?
A45324It was the answer wherewith that admirable pattern of patience stopped the querulous mouth of his tempting wife; What?
A45324Lord thou knowest the thoughts of man that they are but vain; O God, why abhorrest thou my soul, and hidest thy face from me?

A45324Oh, how can I forget thee?
A45324Or like the Ostrich, to be so held down with an heavie body that we can have no use of our wings?
A45324Or when should we goe to seek the face of our God, rather, then in the needfull time of trouble?

A45324The difficulty of doing well is the third; for how averse are we by this conjunction from any thing that is good?

A45324What are our bowels made of, if they yearn not at their unexpressible calamity?
A45324What are the foot of the soul, but our affections?
A45324What are these outward things, but very luggage, which may load our backs, but can not lighten our hearts?
A45324What are we the better if we hear and remember not?
A45324What blind light looks in here at these scant loopeholes of my soul?
A45324What but our prison wals can hinder us here, from a free prospect?
A45324What but these wals of flesh can hinder me from a clear vision of God?
A45324What can I wish, that my Christ is not to me?
A45324What can he withhold from us, that hath given us himself?

A45324What service can our eyes do us in the ways of God without our thoughts?
A45324What the better if we remember, but think not seriously of what we hear; or if we practice not carefully what wee think of?
A45324Wherefore would he, who is the Lord of life, die, but to sanctifie, season, and sweeten death to us?
A45324Who is God but the Lord, and who hath any strength except our God?
A45324Who is the Lord?
A45324Who now can complain of want, when he hears his Lord, and Saviour but thus provided for?
A45324Who would goe any other way then his Saviour went before him?
A45324Who would not have been angry with that cholerick Prophet to hear him so furiously contest with his Maker for a withered Gourd?
A45324Why more then those Anachorites whom we have seen willingly coop''d up for merit?
A45324Why more then those great persons which keep up for state; or Dames for beauty?
A45324Why should it?
A45324Why should not I have so much power over my will as to make that voluntary in me, to undergo, which another wils forcibly to inflict?
A45324Would I have meat and drink?
A45324Yea, how many, that out of an impatience to stay the leisure of vengeance, have made their own hands, their hasty executioners?
A45324Yea, what darknesse of ignorance rather possesses me?
A45324and doe I rove over all the latitude of Nature for contentment?
A45324and either carry our souls up to him, or bring him down to us?
A45324and for their happy and speedy deliverance out of their wofull captivity?
A45324and if a man wil spurn against strong Iron- pikes, what can he hope to carry away but wounds?
A45324and looks angerly at the least crosses; as if he said, Why thus much?
A45324and what is the world, but my prison in the other kinde?
A45324and when more then now?
A45324and when they have found their blood too rank, have been glad to pay for the letting it out?
A45324for what other terms doe I find here?

A45324how dragging the same chaine with the worst malefactors?
A45324how easily may we have over- lived our comforts?
A45324how many from their lives?
A45324how many have runne from their wits?

A45324how much faster hold have I taken of my blessed Redeemer?
A45324how much more firm& sensible is my interest in him?
A45324how restrained from that full liberty of injoying my home, and my God in it, which I daily expect in my dissolution?
A45324if we be such auditours as the Jews were wo nt to call sieves, that retain no moisture that is poured into them?
A45324is it for fashion?
A45324is it for recreation?
A45324life is sweet, but if our Maker have ordained, that nothing but Death can render us glorious, what madnesse is it to stick at the condition?
A45324or is it with a sincere desire to doe my soul good, in gaining more knowledge, in quickning my affections?
A45324or who would abide to have a toad lie in his bosome?

A45324the Grashopper feeds on dew, the Chameleon on air, what care they for other Viands?
A45324to be in the case of Surena the Parthian Lord, that could never remove his family with lesse then a thousand Camels?
A45324we feed upon the cordiall Promises of our God: Doe we sigh and groan under varieties of grievous persecutions?
A45324we see him by us, who hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee: Doe we droop under spirituall desertions?
A45324what a transcendent, what an infinite love is this?
A45324what an object was this for thee to love?
A45324what bolts and shackles of heavy crosses doe I beare about me?

A02548Faelix the Third, sonne to Bishop Valerius?
A02548First, where finds hee this Law, that no man may alledge one testimonie of a Father, or a Councell, but he must be tyed to iustifie all the rest?
A02548For Iouinian, what is he to vs?
A02548For doth Cyprian at all varie the persons of whom hee speakes?
A02548God neuer imposed this Law of continencie; Who then?
A02548He that denyes this, let him deny that there is a Sunne in the heauen, or light in that Sunne; what need I say more?
A02548Hee hath cast off Ignatius alreadie, anon you shal find him reiecting Socrates, Sozomen, Nicephorus, Gratian, Sigebert, H. Huntingdon, and whom not?
A02548Hee makes choice of Archbishop Panormitan for one of his Cardinals: What offence is here?
A02548Here is no command then( saith he) but a permission; How much are wee bound to him for this fauour?
A02548Hereafter hee shall receiue answere enough; What needes this disorderly anticipation?
A02548Herein, how am I refuted?
A02548How Alfere and the Nobles dispossessed the Monkes of Dunstan; iustly restoring the marryed Priests to their ancient right?
A02548How can we looke to escape their Opposition, when they dare thus contradict their Sauiour?

A02548How well doth it become lips drencht in the Cup of those Fornications; to vtter blasphemous Slanders( Spumam CERBERI) against Innocence?
A02548How well doth it become the sonne of that Babylonian Strumpet, to call the Spouse of Christ Harlot?
A02548How well is that man, that is matcht but with an honest Aduersary?
A02548I Would faine know who it was that first ordayned, that Christian Priests might not marry, GOD, or Man?
A02548I alleaged the learned Cardinall Caietan for the likelihood of S. Pauls Marriage; Can my Refuter denie this?
A02548If I say our Clergie is heartily loyall to their King; will hee straight take it, of theirs?
A02548If all my Proofes be fore- alledged and fore- answered by his Bellarmine; to what purpose hath this Trifler blurred so much Paper?
A02548If all my errours be at the mouth of the Presse, how is it that two or three of them are thus suffered to out- runne their fellowes?
A02548If there were differences in relating the circumstances of that storie( as, I know none) must it needs thereupon bee false?
A02548If to marry, were to waxe wanton against Christ, why would the Apostle haue aduised it them?
A02548If we honor the man, must wee hold his pen impeccable?
A02548If, that our Clergie is willingly subiect to more then the directiue Power of their Soueraigne, will he challenge this to theirs?
A02548In a word, what were all those whom his Damasus recounteth?
A02548In all this what sayes hee?
A02548In the meane while, how well doth the title of a Detector become him that hides himselfe?
A02548In the time of their painefull Euangelicall peregrination they forbore perhaps: doth it therefore follow that they did alwayes forget to bee Husbands?
A02548In this where should they finde an aduersary?
A02548Indeed whom doth the aspersion of that foule hand forbeare?
A02548Is he so ignorant as not to know that all his great t Masters discard this whole Councell as spurious?
A02548Is it not enough that wee shew they had wiues, that they had children?
A02548Is it simplicitie that he knowes not this title of Isidore?
A02548Is not this a Logicall and faithfull refutation?
A02548Is not this sufficient to win respect from a Catholique Priest?
A02548Is that of Saint Ignatius nothing against him?
A02548Is this nothing done by his Leo; the Leo rugiens of that time?
A02548It followes then: If Master HALL could for so long together liue a chaste life, why no more?
A02548Lastly, Who can but wonder at the face of our Aduersaries, that dare bring forth so playne a witnesse against themselues?
A02548Let him tell mee what was that Epistle which Leo the Ninth wrote to Peter the Hermite?
A02548My wise Refuter, after hee hath idlely gone about the bush a little, comes out with this dry verdict, What will Master HALL hence infer?
A02548NOt to follow therefore this babbling vagary of my Aduersary against Zuinglius, Luther, Musculus, Whitakers,( what Puppy can not bark at a dead Lion?)
A02548NOw vnhappie is this man that still shoots his Arrowes quite besides the Butt?
A02548Nam in totum quae sunt humani iuris, quemadmodum in morbis remedia,& c. Inter bos quanta raritas corum qui castè viuunt?
A02548Natalis, l Beda, Vssuardus, Sygebertus, Platina?
A02548No more was required, no lesse is yeelded; whereto is all this iangling?
A02548Not his opinion; How can wee be said to admit marriage to an equall share of merit with virginitie, when wee deny merit in eyther?
A02548Not to put my Detector in mind how honourably he now speakes of marriage, how dares he talke of our fleshlinesse, and their chastitie?
A02548Nothing can bee more base then to beg the Question; What doe we dispute, but whether any Vow were made?
A02548Or as if it were any newes with Popes rescindere acta praedecessorum; euen of those which immediately preceded them?
A02548Or could the act of a purposed Virgin onely, shame Virgins professed?
A02548Or if of Augustine, with the errour of the necessitie of Infants communicating?
A02548Or what other sense can bee put vpon the words of the Apostle?
A02548Or wherein hath our Authour offended vs?
A02548Or, in a word, if they bee the true issue of the Apostles, are they accordingly respected, and obserued of the Roman Church?
A02548Paris?
A02548Perhaps the Time had bin as well spent in tossing of his Beades: How happie a man am I that shall see all my ouersights?
A02548Permission?
A02548Pope Adrian the Second, sonne to Bishop Taralus?
A02548Prudent; But, to grant him his owne Phrase; Can my Detector descry no difference betwixt Chaste and Single?
A02548Quid ad Rhombum?
A02548Quid mihi ostendis,& c?
A02548Quo quod peruersius potest fieri?
A02548Quot enim& digamipraesident apud vos, insultantes vtique Apostolo,& c?
A02548Reader, Is my Detector awake?
A02548Reader, if one of his euill spirits should haue stept into Peters chaire, doe yee thinke hee could haue wanted Proctors?
A02548Reader, vouchsafe yet once more to cast thine eye vpon the close of my Epistle; Doth my argument run thus wildly as hee makes it?
A02548Risum teneatis?
A02548Secondly, my parenthesis displeases him( As now, a dayes) But what needes this quarrell?
A02548Sixtly, The Husband and Wife are separated vpon discord, or disease: What shall they doe?
A02548So as I still conclude, He that made marriage, saith it is honorable, what care we for the dishonor of those that corrupt it?

A45113Thou art imprisoned; Wise men are wo nt in all actions and events to enquire still into the causes: Wherefore dost thou suffer?
A45113Thou art now sick: Wert thou not before a long time healthfull?
A45113Thou art restrained; Is it such a matter that thou art not suffered to rome abroad?
A45113Thou art surprized with Sickness; whose fault is this but thine own?
A45113Thou art troubled with the fear of death: What reason hast thou to be afflicted with that which is the common condition of mankinde?
A45113Thou art very poore; who made thee so?
A45113Thou complainest of pain: What use were there of thy Patience, if thou a ● ledst nothing?
A45113Thou hadst riches?
A45113Thou hadst wealth; Hast thou not parted with that for which many a man hath been the worse?
A45113Thou hast lost a piece of thy self: for what are our children, but as colonies deduced from our own flesh?
A45113Thou hast lost his presence; he is advanced to the beatifical presence of the King of glory: Whether is thy loss, or his gain the greater?
A45113Thou hearest, my son, what some others say; but what dost thou hear from the bird in thy bosom?
A45113Thou lately possessedst great riches; yea, maist thou not rather say, thou wert possessed of them?
A45113Thou shrinkest at the thought of death: Is it not for that thou hast, over- valued life, and made thy home on earth?
A45113Thy banishment bereaves thee of the comfort of thy wonted companions: Would not a voluntary travel do as much?
A45113Thy son is dead: What marvel is it, that a mortal Father hath begot a mortal Son?
A45113Thy wealth is gone: Hast thou necessaries left?
A45113To what purpose were our Christian valour, if we had no enemy to encounter?
A45113WHat should we do in this vale of teares, but bemoan each others miseries?
A45113Was he so much thine, that he would not be set off by thine adversity?
A45113Was it any ease to thee to make thy child smart, and bleed?
A45113Was she vertuous?
A45113We hear, and are fore- warned of the wiles of the Devil: but what his special machinations are, how can we know, much less prevent?
A45113Wee are not entire peeces, but are all limbs of a community both of Church and Kingdome; whiles the whole body suffers, how can we be free?
A45113Were it not for our sin, what use were there of a Redeemer?
A45113Were not our sin hainous, how should it have required such an expiation as the blood of the eternal Son of God?
A45113Were you not in your very knitting put in minde of your dissolution?
A45113What Trophees did that wicked spirit think to erect upon the ruines of miserable Job?
A45113What a short moment is it that thou canst suffer?
A45113What are times and places of our birth but unconcerning circumstances?
A45113What are wee but pieces of our Parents?
A45113What can this be but that hunger and thirst after righteousnesse, to which our Saviour hath pronounced blessednesse?
A45113What difference is there betwixt thee and them, but that their exile is voluntary, thy travel constrained?
A45113What discourse could have made thee to understand what light is?
A45113What do we going for Christians, if we be nothing but meer flesh and blood?
A45113What dost thou complain of ease?
A45113What harme can there be in a Sting- lesse Snake?
A45113What hath Satan now gotten by this match?
A45113What if God be pleased so to dispose of thee, as to give thee health without it?
A45113What if the light be shut out from thee?
A45113What if there were as many Devils in the air, as there are spires of grasse on the earth?
A45113What is it that makes the act of thy sin to be sinful, but the offence of the Divine Majestie?
A45113What is it to thee, but to improve, and to account for?
A45113What is this other then a perfect distraction?
A45113What mean these sighs, and sobs, and passionate expressions of sorrow which I hear from thee?
A45113What more then the time wherein thou wert born?
A45113What need we doubt of this truth, when our own times have so cleerly seconded it?
A45113What place ▪ then is here for any terrour, since the more state and heavenly magnificence, the more joy and glory?
A45113What power can there be in any oreature, which is not derived from the Almighty?
A45113What reason hast thou then to complain?
A45113What sturdy, and ill mannerd beggers are we, if we will not ● ● ay at the doore till we be served; and grudge at our almes when it comes?
A45113What then are these things, which must be done by us?
A45113What woful entertainment is this to be enamoured on?
A45113What young man would have been so easily induced to part with his life, and have been so ready to give entertainment to an unexpected death?
A45113When thou hast heard the Name of Christ blasphemed, hast thou not felt a secret horrour in thy bosom?
A45113When thou hast said all, my son, what is befalne thee other, then it pleased God to enjoyn the Father of the faithfull?
A45113When we think of an ● universal conflagration of the world, how can we but fear?
A45113Where is our faith of an heaven, if having been so long sea- beaten, we be loth to think of putting into the safe and blessed harbour of immortality?
A45113Wherefore came the Son of God into the world, but to save sinners?
A45113Wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the King?
A45113Wherefore was the holy Tabernacle over- spred with a strong tent of skins, but to figure out unto us Gods Church sheltred under a sure protection?
A45113Whiles there is honey in thy gally- pot, the wasps and flyes will be buzzing about it; but which of them cares to light upon an empty vessel?
A45113Who are we, that we should think much to share with the best of Gods Saints, yea with the dear and eternal Son of his love, our ever blessed Redeemer?
A45113Who bade thee not to look for so sure a guest?
A45113Who can fear a Bear or a Lion, when he sees them chained to their stake?
A45113Who can stand before these sonnes of Anak?
A45113Who is so little in his owne favour as to imagine hee can be the worse for faring well?
A45113Who would desire to walk in the world, when he may sleep with Jesus?
A45113Why are we impatient for their silent reposal in the bed of their grave, when we are assured of their awaking to glory?
A45113Why are we too much dejected with that, which others complain to want?
A45113Why art thou over- troubled to see the great Physitian of the world take this course with sinful mankinde?
A45113Why dost thou not chide thy self, as that dying Saint did of old, Go forth, my soul, go boldly forth; what art thou afraid of?
A45113Why doth the living man complain?
A45113Why is the living man sorrowful?
A45113Why should that Saviour of thine( thinkst thou) suffer himself to be tempted, if not to bear thee out in all thy temptations?
A45113Why should we, my son, expect other from him, who is professedly the manslayer from the beginning?
A45113Why shouldst thou not rather rejoyce that thy loyns have helped to furnish heaven with a Saint?
A45113Why shouldst thou think it strange( saith wise Seneca) that some men should be well pleased to be scorcht, to be wounded, to be rackt, to be kill''d?
A45113Why wilt thou be so unthankfully injurious to the Father of mercies, as to deny those graces which his good Spirit hath so freely bestowed upon thee?
A45113Why wilt thou, my son, be so unwise, and unjust, as to take part with Satan against thine own soul?
A45113Wilt thou not allow him to call for a consummation of that happie match?
A45113Wilt thou not give the Physitian leave to make use of his Mithridate, because there are vipers in the composition?
A45113Without a true life of grace, these things could never have been: Are not thine eyes and hands many times lifted up in an imploration of mercy?
A45113Would he die to save thee?
A45113Would he else have denounced it as a judgement to over- indulgent Eli, There shall not be an old man in thine house for ever?
A45113Would he have owned thee if he had found thee stripped and wounded in the Wilderness?
A45113Wouldst thou have been so wary of thy steps as now thou art, if thou hadst never slipped?
A45113Wouldst thou know then what is to be done for the preventing of a destructive vengeance?
A45113Wouldst thou not allow it an act of his justice to punish sins?
A45113Wouldst thou not have God to be just, that is, himself?
A45113Yea, dost thou not hear him with one breath professing his confidence, and lamenting his desertion?
A45113Yea, dost thou not rather wonder that it hath out- stood so many blustring blasts, thus long, utterly unruined?
A45113Yea, how many that had lost their precious soules?
A45113Yea, what do I speak of the future?
A45113am not I better to thee then ten sons?
A45113am not I better to thee then ten thousand sons?
A45113and be ready to bless a thriving prophaneness?
A45113and couldst thou imagine that some of them should not be ever out of order?
A45113and dost thou grudge to restore what thou borrowedst?
A45113and how was he baffled by the patience of that Saint?
A45113and how was that Saint doubled both in his estate and honour, by his conquering patience?
A45113and if it be thy will to keepe in, what dost thou complaine of restraint?
A45113and many rivulets let out from the main Chanel, leave the stream shallow?
A45113and shall not my soul be avenged on such a Nation as this?
A45113and what are friends but parts of us?
A45113and what are we but the Farmers of those we leave behinde us?
A45113and what can this affection of thy soul be for sin, but true penitence?
A45113and what use is there of wings, if not to flie?
A45113and when it is held forth to thee, canst thou lay some( though weak) hold upon it?
A45113and why is thy heart heavy?
A45113and will he turn that bandog of hell loose upon thee to worry thee?
A45113but how confidently may we appear at that Bar, where we are beforehand assured of a discharge?
A45113but to bee driven to forsake Parents, kinsfolke, friends, how sad a case must it needs bee?
A45113but when we think of an happie restitution of all things in this day; how can we but rejoyce in trembling?
A45113canst thou lay thy self before him as a miserable object of his grace and mercy?
A45113canst thou throw thy self into the arms of his mercy?
A45113canst thou trust him with thy soul, and repose thy self upon him for forgivenesse and salvation?
A45113dost thou not complain of it as thy greatest misery?
A45113hast no ▪ thou cast in thy symbole into the common shot?
A45113hast thou doubled thine humiliation for the reduplication of thine offence?
A45113hast thou found thy soul wrought to so much greater detestation of thy sin, as thine acquain ● tance with it hath been more?
A45113hast thou not shrunk inward, and secretly thought, How shall I decline this dreadful damnation?
A45113hast thou sought God so much the more instantly with an unfained contrition of heart?
A45113hast thou taken this occasion to lay better hold on thy Saviour, and to reinforce the vows of thy more careful and strict obedience?
A45113have not I the Lord?
A45113have not thy sins helped to make up this irritating heap?
A45113have we not seen many a good bough split with the weight of too much fruit?
A45113how can the soule( which makes the body sensible) choose, but be most affected with that pain, whereof it gives sense to the body?
A45113how canst thou then be sorry that thou hast sinned, and not be sorry that thou hast offended?
A45113how is thy minde affected?
A45113how suddenly is this clear skie over- clouded, and spread over with a sad darkness, and I return to my former heartlesness?
A45113how unworthy art thou of health, if thou wilt no trust the fidelity and skill of the Artist in mixing so wholsome a Cordial?
A45113knowest thou not that there was a Pre- contract betwixt thy Saviour, and her soul, ere thou couldst lay any claim to her body?
A45113or i ● it not rather, Thou hast sinned?
A45113or is my fl ● sh as brass?
A45113or of Daniel, if there had been no Lions to accompany him?
A45113or that the wires of that engine should so long have held pace with time?
A45113that carries nothing but destruction both in his name and nature?
A45113that goes about continually like a roaring Lion, seeking whom hee may devoure?
A45113that loves thy Vertue, and thee for it, devested of all by- respects?
A45113that neighbours should be like the reed and the brake set neare together, whereof the one starves the other?
A45113thy memory stronger, thy phantasie more active, thy understanding more apprehensive?
A45113till seven times?
A45113what aches of the bones, what belking of the Joynts, what Convulsions of Sinews, what torments of the Bowels, Stone, Collick, Strangury?
A45113what distillations of Rheums, what hollow Coughs, what weaknesses of retention, expulsion, digestion, what decay of Senses?
A45113what is all the world to us without these comforts?
A45113what the Sun the fountain of it, what the heavens, the glorious region of it, and what the Moon and Starres illuminated by it?
A45113when thou art going to a light more glorious then this thou leavest, then the Sun is more weak then a Rush- Candle?
A45113wherefore are thy so sad bemoanings, and vehement deprecations?
A45113wherein, if the world be dissolved, who can bear up?
A45113whiles we profess to have moreover the advantage of Faith to uphold and chear us?
A45113who can hope to be free from being transported with irregular affections, when wee see such great precedents of frailty before our eyes?
A45113why dost thou cry out of the foulness, not onely of the peril, of thy sin?
A45113why should we finde that so tedious to us, which others have wished?
A45113why would thy heart challenge thee for unkindness in offending?
A45113wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
A45113with what silent anxiety dost thou watch by his couch?
A45113worse both in body and soule: and by which never any soul was better: Have wee not seen many good corn fields marred with ranknesse?
A45113yea, what clearing of your selves; yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge?
A45313& dost thou se any so miserable upon earth as the holiest?
A45313Am I better gifted then another?
A45313Am I more inlightned then others?
A45313And canst thou be so desperately, and presumptuously mercilesse to thy selfe, as to say, I shall be damned, therefore I will sinne?
A45313And in his answer to Zophar; Where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
A45313And shall I with the foolish Virgins, delay the buying of my oyle, till the doores be shut?
A45313And the prime Apostle sends them to the last dayes( which are ours) for those scoffers, which shall say, Where is the promise of his comming?
A45313And upon what grounds doth he raise this assurance?
A45313And what thank is it to me, that I would, and am disabled to offend?
A45313Are not all the Attributes of God, his?
A45313Are not his eyes a flame of fire?
A45313Are not the great works of divine power attributed to him?
A45313Are not the meanes of grace( Gods blessed ordinances) stil held forth unto thee?
A45313Are not these the infallible proofs of my calling, and the sure and certaine fruits of mine election?
A45313Are not we his members?
A45313Are we not all by nature the childrē of wrath?
A45313Are we not charged to give divine e honour to him?
A45313Are we not commanded c to baptize in his name as God?
A45313Because I have happily, by the mercy of my God, escaped hell in sinning, shall I wilfully run my self headlong into the pit, by continuing in sin?
A45313Because I have once yeilded to be evill, must I therefore be worse?
A45313Besides examples, have we not an all sufficient pledg of our certaine rising againe, in the victorious refurrection of the Lord of life?
A45313Besides these resemblances, have we not many clear instances and examples of our resurrection?
A45313Besides, the manner of the infliction speaks nothing but mercy; for, what a gentle hand doth my God lay upon me?
A45313But for the mortifyed christian, were it not for the comfort and amends of a resurrection, who can expresse the miserie of his condition?
A45313But let me have wind enough left to redouble the name of mercy; am I sure upon so short warning to obtaine it?
A45313But, let me live; Have I repentance in a string, that I may pull it to me when I list?
A45313Can any man expect fruit, or leaves from the tree in the midst of winter?
A45313Can any man looke that the fire should give either flame or heat, whiles it lies covered with ashes?
A45313Can it not attaine to the knowledg of the secrets of nature, of the perfection of Arts?
A45313Can it not compare one thing with another?
A45313Can it not deduce one sequel from another?
A45313Can it not reach to the scanning of humane plots; and the apprehension of divine mysteries?
A45313Can the child entertaine any apprehension of his parents favour whiles he is under the lash?
A45313Can the head be alive and glorious, whiles the limmes doe utterly perish in a finall corruption?
A45313Can there be any heavier doom that can fall from that awfull mouth, then, Receive thy portion with hypocrites?
A45313Can there be now any man so desperately mad, as to shut heaven gates against himselfe, which the mercifull God leaves open for him?
A45313Can they desire and indeavour to be holy?
A45313Canst thou hope I can so abdicate my self, as to put my selfe into the ranke of beasts?
A45313Canst thou hope to perswade me, that God will bestow these favours where he loves not?
A45313Canst thou hope to perswade me, that I do belie, or mis- know my own grief?
A45313Canst thou perswade us they made this heavenly musick in their sleep?
A45313Canst thou think so to prevaile with thy suggestions, as to make reason it selfe turne irrationall?
A45313Contrarily, are those brute things capable of doing those works which may be pleasing unto God; the performāce whereof thou so much envyest unto me?
A45313Could it be thus if there were providence that over looks and over- rules these earthly affairs?
A45313Could it be thus, if there were a providence that over- looks and over- rules these earthly affairs?
A45313Credulous soule, when shall these things be?
A45313Credulous soule, when shall these things be?
A45313DEceitfull spirit; How thou goest about to perswade me to that, which thy selfe would be most loathe should be true?
A45313Did he not heare them cry, How long Lord, holy ▪ and true?
A45313Did he not see and heare the hundred forty four thousand Saints, before the throne, harping, and singing a new song to the praise of their God?
A45313Did not he conquer death for us?
A45313Did not the touch of Elishaes bones raise up the partner of his grave?
A45313Did not they arise, and come out of their graves, after my Saviours resurrection, and go into the holy city, and appeare unto many?
A45313Do I not desire and indeavour to conforme my selfe wholly to the will of my God and Saviour?
A45313Do I not ever looke backe upon them with a vehement loathing and detestation?
A45313Do I not give willing eare to the voice of the Gospel?
A45313Do I not hate the courses of my former disobedience?
A45313Do I not hear that God, whom vaine men frame all of mercy, say, even of his Israel; I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them?
A45313Do I not heartily grieve for my spirituall faylings?
A45313Do I not labour in all things to keep a good conscience before God, and men?
A45313Do not I cordially affect the means of grace and salvation?
A45313Do not I earnestly pray for grace to resist all thy temptations?
A45313Do not I feele this heart of mine bleed with a true inward remorse for my sinnes?
A45313Do not I heare the chosen vessel tell his Thessalonians, that he knows them to be elected of God?
A45313Do not I know that they are meerly fed up to the slaughter?
A45313Do not our iniquities separate between us& our God?
A45313Do not our sins hide his face from us, that he will not hear?
A45313Do not the secrets of all hearts lie open before him?
A45313Doe not I see how fickle my life is?
A45313Dost thou importune their yeildance to sinfull motions?
A45313Dost thou labour to prevaile with thy temptations upon beasts?
A45313Dost thou not apprehend the impossibility of this so absurd assertion?
A45313Dost thou not apprehend the impossibility of this so absurd assertion?
A45313Dost thou not heare the man after Gods owne heart say, Lord, remember David and all his troubles?
A45313Doth evill turne good as it falls from their person?
A45313Doth he not there challenge a joynt k right with the Father in all things both in heaven, and earth?
A45313Doth not God still gratiously invite thee to repentance?
A45313Doth not our Saviour tell us, that the soul of poor Lazarus was immediately carried by Angels into Abrahams boome?
A45313Doth not the wrath of God come( for sin) upon the children of disobedience?
A45313Doth not thy Saviour stand ready with his armes spread abroad to receive thee into his bosome?
A45313Even Rabshakeh himselfe spake truer then he was aware of; Am I now comne up without the Lord against this place?
A45313For, if I had not a soul beyond the condition of brute creatures, how am I capable of sinning?
A45313For, that a man should commit sinne, as Lot did his incest, not knowing that hee doth the fact, what is it but to bereave him of his senses?
A45313God cals me to a speedy repentance, thou perswadest me to defer it; whether counsell should I hold more safe?
A45313God meant the honour of the Priesthood to the family of Eli; but what?
A45313Hath he not told thee that our computations of time are nothing to the infinite?
A45313Hath he not told us, that this mis- construed slacknesse is in mans vaine opinion, not in Gods performance?
A45313Hath not he said,& wil make it good, Though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much sope, yet thine iniquity is marked before mee?
A45313Hath not my Saviour, who shall be our Judge, said, Therefore thou shalt receive the greater damnation?
A45313Hath not my brest swell''d up with an angry indignation at my sinfull mis- carriages?
A45313Have I not poured out many hearty sighs, and tears for mine offences?
A45313Have I not trembled, not only at the apprehension of my owne danger by sin, but at the very suggestion of the like offence?
A45313Have I not with much anguish of soule confessed them before the face of that God whom I have provoked?
A45313Have ye not asked them that go by the way, and do ye not know their tokens?
A45313He hath poured out his soule unto death, and he was numbred with the transgressors; and he ● ar ● the sin of many?
A45313He that planted the eare, shall he not heare?
A45313Holy Iob could say; How many are mine iniquities and sinnes; make me to know my transgression and my sinne?
A45313How contrary is this to the mind and practise of al Gods Saints?
A45313How evidently then doth the present estate of my soul convince thee of the future?
A45313How great care must we needs think is taken of the head, since not an haire can fall unregarded?
A45313How hath God promised deliverance to those that trust in him, yet how many of his faithfull servants have mis- carried?
A45313How many are there that shall say, Lord, Lord; and yet shall be answer''d, with Depart from me, I know you not?
A45313How many have lien downe to sleep out their furfeit, and have waked in hell?
A45313How many of Gods dearlings on earth have indured more?
A45313How many of those blessed ones have indured more, then my God wil allow thee to inflict upon my weaknesse?
A45313How palpably dost thou confound thy selfe in this very act of Temptation?
A45313How willingly dost thou seem to fight against thy selfe, that thou mighrest overcome me?
A45313I shall not live long, let me live well; so let mee live for a while, that I may live for ever?
A45313IF pride were thy ruine, wicked spirit, how faine wouldst thou make it mine also?
A45313IS it any wonder that thou should''st sclander the graces of God, who art ever ready to calumniate the giver?
A45313If the debt then be paid for me, and that payment accepted of the Creditor, as mine, how fully am I acquitted?
A45313If they had such a soul as mine, why should they not sin, as well as I?
A45313If we must be over- ruled by nature, what doe we professing Christianity?
A45313Impudent tempter, doest thou not remember thine owne language?
A45313Impudent tempter, how canst thou from my sufferings argue Gods disfavour, when thou knowest that he whom God loved best, suffered most?
A45313Indeed this is the way to beguile the eyes of men like our selves; for who would mistrust a mortifyed face?
A45313Is he not eternall?
A45313Is he not infinite and incomprehensible?
A45313Is he not there asserted to be i one with the Father?
A45313Is he not there declared to be h equall with God?
A45313Is he not u Almighty?
A45313Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
A45313Is his mercy cleane gone for ever?
A45313Is it not he of whom the Psalmist, m Thy throne O God is for ever and ever; the scepter of thy kingdome is a right scepter?
A45313Is it not he that ſ filleth all things; t that was in heaven, whiles he was on earth?
A45313Is it not the great day of the Lord?
A45313Is it not the great gift of that good Spirit, which breatheth when, and where it pleaseth?
A45313Is it not the judgement of the great day?
A45313Is it out of favour, or is it that they are designed to the dresser?
A45313Is it the measure of my smart that should argue Gods displeasure?
A45313Is not he our head?
A45313Is not he the first fruits of them that slept?
A45313Is not he the n Father of eternity; o the first and the last; p have not his goings forth been from everlasting?
A45313Is not he the r Word which was in the beginning; the word that was with God; and the word that was God?
A45313Is not the anger of a just God deservedly kindled against man for sin?
A45313Is not the holy Ghost d given as a seale to that baptisme?
A45313Is not the life of all herbs, flowers, trees buried in the earth, during that whole dead season?
A45313Is not this required and reported to be done not only by the f Kings of the earth, but by the g Saints and Angels in heaven?
A45313Is there any thing in heaven, or earth, or hell that can be hid from his all- seeing eyes?
A45313It is in him that we live, and move, and have our being; and can we be so sottish, as to think we can steale a life from him, which he knows not of?
A45313It is man that had sinned; it is God that was offended; who but he that was God& man could reconcile God unto man?
A45313It is true; Wicked men flourish; what marvell is this?
A45313Lastly, have I not falne foule upon my selfe for so easie a seduction?
A45313Lastly, what can be the necessity which may either induce to sin; or excuse for sinning?
A45313Mammon is the God they serve, and what can he doe lesse then blesse them with a miserable advantage?
A45313NAy rather, these are blasphemies not fit to fall from any but a malignant Devill: what is this but to flatter man, that thou maist sclander God?
A45313No, tempter; Canst thou challenge this faith of mine, which thou censurest, to be thine owne worke?
A45313O death where is thy sting?
A45313O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
A45313O grave, where is thy victory?
A45313One corne of sand with the whole masse of the earth?
A45313Our sins are debts,( so my Saviour hath styled them) how commona a thing is it for debts to be set over to anothers hand?
A45313PLausible tempter, what care wouldest thou seeme to take of my ease, and reputation, that, in the mean time, thou mightst run away with my soule?
A45313Presently therfore after our flitting hence, we have a being,& that glorious; who can think of a being in heaven without a ful sense of joy?
A45313Rejoice, and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven: Who would not endure wrongs a while to be everlastingly recompenced?
A45313Shall I bid a theefe welcome, because he had wo nt to rob me?
A45313Shall I then cleanse the out- side of the cup, whiles I am within full of extortion,& excesse?
A45313Shall wee think they cryed in their sleep?
A45313Since then I am a subject truly capable of this mercy, what can hinder me from enjoying it?
A45313TEMPTATION Alas, poor man, how grosly deludest thou thy selfe?
A45313TEMPTATION If God be never so liberall in in his promises and sure in performances of mercy, to his own, yet what is that to thee?
A45313TEMPTATION If the soule must live; and the body shall rise: yet what needest thou to affright thy selfe with the terrours of an universall judgement?
A45313TEMPTATION Pretend religion, and doe any thing: what face is so foule as that Maske will not cleanly cover?
A45313TEMPTATION Why shouldst thou lose any thing of thy height?
A45313Tell mee if thou canst, which of those Saints that are now shining bright in their heaven, hath got thither un- afflicted?

A45313Temptation Pretend religion, and doe any thing: what face is so foule as that Maske will not cleanly cover?
A45313Temptation Tush, what dost thou please thy selfe with these vaine thoughts; If God cared for thee, couldst thou be thus miserable?
A45313Temptation Why shouldst thou lose any thing of thy height?
A45313That he will lose the thanks and honour of so gracious proceedings?
A45313That one day with the Lord, is as a thousand yeares, and a thousand yeares as one day?
A45313That which in it self is sin, is it not sin in the Elect?
A45313The wicked man prospers; but how long?
A45313The wicked prosper; Let me never prosper if I envy them: Do not I see their day coming?
A45313The wicked thrive in the world; How should they do other?
A45313The wicked triumph, whiles the righteous are trampled upon; What marvell?
A45313The world loves his owne: Doth any man wonder to see the weeds overtop the good herbes?
A45313These sixteen hundred years hath he been look''t and yet he is not come; and when will he?
A45313These sixteene hundred yeares hath he beene lookt for: and yet he is not come, and when will he?
A45313Thou talkest of an awfull Judge: but where is the promise of his comming?
A45313Thou talkst of an awfull Iudge, but where is the promise of his comming?
A45313Thy case was his for the sense of the desertion, why should not his case be thine for the remedy?
A45313To an illimited power what difference is there betwixt a mountaine and an ant- heape?
A45313To lend a ly to a friend; why dost thou not perswade mee to lend him my soule?
A45313To swallow an oath for fear?
A45313Upon all these grounds how can I do lesse then cry our with the late- believing disciple, My Lord, and my God?
A45313V. TEMPTATION Why wilt thou be singular amongst and above thy neighbours; to draw needlesse censures upon thy self?
A45313V. Temptation Why wilt thou be singular amongst and above thy neighbours; to draw needlesse censures upon thy self?
A45313Was not Lazarus called up out of his sepulcher after four daies possess ● ion; and many noysome degrees of rottenesse?
A45313Were it a matter of humane disquisition, why did not those sages of nature, the learned Philosophers of former times, reach unto it?
A45313Were not the graves opened of many bodies of the Saints, W ch slept?
A45313What Trophees hast thou cause to erect for thy victory and my soyle?
A45313What an horrible abuse is this of divine mercy?
A45313What blessednesse can be incident into those that either are not at all, or are senselesse?
A45313What can meer man who is led by reason, discerne in spirituall and supernaturall things?
A45313What can the Christian, who is led by faith, which is the evidence of things not seen attain unto in the clear vision of God, and heavenly glory?
A45313What can the world do to make me say I must doe evill?
A45313What doest thou please thy selfe with these vaine thoughts?
A45313What dost thou and they but make good that sacred truth, which was delivered before so many hundred generations?
A45313What dost thou then, O thou false spirit, thinke to choak divine providence with the smalnesse, and multitude of objects?
A45313What hast thou now gained, O thou wicked spirit, by thy prevalent temptations?
A45313What if I be in paine here for a while?
A45313What is it, O thou wicked spirit, whereto thou art reserved in chaines of darknesse?
A45313What liberall promises hath he made of provision for those that wait upon him; yet how many of them have miserably perished in want?
A45313What marvell is it, if each speak for his own?
A45313What marvell is it, if that which moved the unjust judge to do right, against the bent of his will, be able to draw the weak sinner awry?
A45313What matters it if our carcasses rot upon earth, whiles our souls shine in heavenly glory?
A45313What need is there, thou sayest, of any intreaty?
A45313What poore flea bitings are these that I am afflicted with ▪ in respect of those torments which the Sonne of God under went for me?
A45313What should I regard thy cavils, whiles I have these pledges of the Almighty?
A45313What then?
A45313What warnings, what reproofes, what exhortations, what invitations, what intreaties, what importunities, hath he forborn for our conversion?
A45313What?
A45313Wherefore do the cram''d fowles, and fatted Oxen fare better then their fellows?
A45313Whiles then there can not but be sin in the Elect, is it possible that God should not see it there?
A45313Who am I, that I should over- know not the present world of men only, but the eminent Saints, and learned Doctors of all former ages?
A45313Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
A45313Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
A45313Why dost thou perswade me to that whereof my nature( if but brutish) can have no capacity?
A45313Why should I not rather suspect my owne judgement, then oppose theirs?
A45313Wicked spirit; What a deadly fallacy is this which thou puttest upon miserable soules?
A45313Will the Lord cast off for ever?
A45313Wouldst thou perswade me to falsifie my word for an advantage?
A45313Yea lastly, when had my Saviour more glory then in this very act of his ignominious suffering, and crucifixion?
A45313Yea tell me, by what power was it that thine Oracles( wherby all the world was held in superstition) were silenced?
A45313Yea to give it unto thee for him?
A45313Yea, can it not judge of spirits?
A45313a tongue that speakes holy things?
A45313am I not evidently freed from the bondage of those naturall corruptions, under which thou heldst mo miserably captiv''d?
A45313an eye and hand lift up to heaven?
A45313and canst thou be other then apposed with the question of that Jew, who asked whether it were more possible to make a mans body of water, or of earth?
A45313and dost thou see any so miserable upon earth as the holiest?
A45313and if I have received it, why should I glory in it as my owne?
A45313and in stead thereof to gratifie us with a greater blessing undesired?
A45313and to passe a peremptory doome of necessary damnation upon thy selfe?
A45313and what have I that I have not received?
A45313and what is glory but the consummation of grace?
A45313and what proportion is there between our mercy, and his?
A45313and what words more harmelesse then those which have no evill quality in them, though no good?
A45313and who but a God could conquer by suffering?
A45313and will be favorable no more?
A45313and will he be favourable no more?
A45313are they capable of making conscience of their waies?
A45313art thou come to torment us before the time?
A45313as if one drop of water were not all one to the Almighty, with the whole deep?
A45313as if quantities or numbers could make any difference in the Infinite?
A45313as if that hand which graspeth the large circumference of the highest heaven could let slip the least flye, or worme upon earth?
A45313because it will not part away with ease?
A45313betwixt one and a million?
A45313charming the winds, and waters, healing diseases by the very shadow of his transient disciples?
A45313doth his promise faile for evermore?
A45313doth his promise faile for evermore?
A45313for if the soule of man expired with the body, what subject shouldest thou have of that tyranny, and torment which thou so much affectest?
A45313hath God forgotten to be gracious?
A45313hath God forgotten to be gracious?
A45313hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?
A45313hath he shut up his tender mercies in displeasure?
A45313hath it not been inflamed with just displeasure at my selfe, and all the instruments& means of my mis- leading?
A45313hath not he commanded all their host?
A45313have I not been kept in awe with the jealous feares of my miserable frailties, lest I should be againe ensnared in thy mischievous ginnes?
A45313have I not seriously rated my selfe, for giving way to thy wicked temptations?
A45313have not his hands stretched out the heavens?
A45313he that formed the eye, shall not he see?
A45313he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
A45313how certain of ruine, and confusion?
A45313how full of uncertainties?
A45313how is he made a gazing stock of reproch to the world, to Angels, and to men?
A45313how is he trampled upon, by scornful malignity; how is he reputed the off- scouring of the world?
A45313how ordinary for a bond to be discharged by the surety?
A45313how should it doe althis, if it were not a spirit?
A45313if God cared for thee couldst thou be thus miserable?
A45313l Hath not he created the earth, and man upon it?
A45313or a motion that he discerneth not?
A45313or so tied up to the punctuality of a promise, as that he may not exchange it for a better?
A45313or, as to breake open the gates of hell, and rush violently into the pit of destruction, which God had latched against him?
A45313presumptuous, unpardonable; With what face canst thou look up to heaven and expect remission from a just God?
A45313q Had not he glory with the Father before the world was?
A45313raising to it selfe such notions, as wherein the body can challenge no interest?
A45313shal I put on thy forme, and transfigure my selfe into an Angell of light?
A45313shall I fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickednesse?
A45313shall I to gratifie a friend, make God mine enemy?
A45313shall I to rescue a friend from danger, bring destruction upon my selfe?
A45313shall I under pretence of long prayers devoure widowes houses?
A45313shall not the all- seeing eye of the righteous God find me out in my damnable simulation?
A45313shall the all- wise and righteous Arbiter of the world decree, and reverse?
A45313so deep a contrition of soule?
A45313so fervent zeale of obedience?
A45313so hearty a detestation of sin?
A45313so reall experience of temptation?
A45313so sweet a sense of mercy?
A45313so thankfull a recognition of deliverance?
A45313such awe of offending?
A45313such it should be, if it were presumption; Were it presumption, would''st thou oppose it?
A45313such tendernesse of heart?
A45313that he wil repent him of such mercies?
A45313was it in so absolute termes, that how ever they dishonored God, yet God was bound to honour them?
A45313was it not from hence that both he, and we in him, were adjudged to death?
A45313was it not from hence that man was driven out of Paradise?
A45313what advantage can be so great as the conscience of truth, and fidelity?
A45313what height have I?
A45313what is it whereto the manifestation of all hidden truthes, and the accomplishment of all Gods gracious promises are referred?
A45313what liberall promises hath he made of provision for those that wait upon him; yet how many of them have miserably perished in want?
A45313what menaces, what afflictions, what judgments hath he not made use of, for the prevention of our damnation?
A45313what proofes can we have of anger but the effects of displeasure?
A45313when thou wouldst draw me on to my sins; then, how small, sleight, harmlesse, plausible they were?
A45313where did the holy God infuse such vertue into any creature?
A45313where should this sin lurk, that he should not espy it?
A45313why should they not be equally guilty?
A45313works so transcending the possibility of nature, that they could not be wrought by any lesse then the God of nature?
A45313would''st thou not foster and applaud it as thine?
A45313yea till the next hour?
A45313yea till to morrow?
A0252211?
A0252216?
A0252217?
A025222. and is it not sinne to omit this duety?
A025222?
A0252238. why do we think much to drinke of an Euangelists cuppe?
A0252240.?
A025225. why should we not if we so esteemed it?
A025229?
A02522Actiuely to you, or passiuely from you?
A02522Aduanced aboue al that is called God?
A02522Alas miserable countrimen, whither runne you?
A02522Alas, who are you that you should oppose al Churches& times?
A02522All the learned Diuines of other Churches are in these left, yea in the most of them censured by you: Hath God spoken these things to you alone?
A02522All these will be auowed in spight of all contradiction: with what forehead then can you say; the whole Church of England hath not at all separated?
A02522Am I only a stranger in Hierusalem?
A02522An tu solus Ecclesia es?
A02522And being made as it is, a part of Gods worship, and of the Ministers office, what is it if it be not a sacrament?
A02522And if the fathers sower Grapes can not hurt the childrens teeth, how much lesse shall the neighbours?
A02522And now what is all this to infallibilitie?
A02522And since such was their face, who dares iudge of their hearts?
A02522And were we then yours?
A02522And where, say I, learned you your deuout kneeling to or before the bread, but from that error of Transubstantiatiō?
A02522And why may not euen constraint it selfe haue place in the lawfull constitution or reformation of a Church?
A02522Are not those people called together?
A02522Are these your patternes?
A02522As we hope or desire to be saued, we can find no sentence that soundeth toward the fauour of this your act: Must God be accused of your wilfulnesse?
A02522BVT what bonds were these straight ones?
A02522BVT who can wonder at your vnnaturalnesse to the Church, that heares what measure you mete to your owne?
A02522BVt besides that we ought to haue had somewhat which we want, we haue some what which wee should haue wanted: Some?
A02522BVt tell vs then, what should haue beene done?
A02522Because you are not suffered to inioy them: who hinders it?
A02522Behold a newe crime: That they suffer themselues to be driuen out: VVhat should they haue done?
A02522Behold here, the Church of England gaue you but an Antichristian estate; if God giue secret mercy, what is that to her?
A02522Both annuall and perpetual they can not be: VVhat is( if not this) a wrong in Constitution?
A02522But for all men, and all times?
A02522But hath not God giuen inward grace, by our outward Ministery?
A02522But if there were not something more then iust reuerence, why do we solemnely kneel at the Communion not at Baptisme?
A02522But in how many volumes hath this point beene fully discussed?
A02522But might not God be purely and perfectly worshipped without it?
A02522But should you haue continued still in sinne that grace might haue abounded?
A02522But these decrees are absolute, what lawes can be without a commaund?
A02522But this yet exceedes: Not onely all persons, but all thinges?
A02522But what is the Element: the Ring; These things agree not; you had before made the two parties to be the matter of this Sacrament?
A02522But what meane you to charge our Churches with carued and painted Images?
A02522But what necessity is this?
A02522But what thē?
A02522But wherein stands this our creation?
A02522But whiles we striue; who shall be our Iudge?
A02522But whither will you runne from this communion of the prophane?
A02522But whose is that so vnsauorie weede; No Bishoppe, no King?
A02522But why is our Prelacy hatefull?
A02522But why separate you from these?
A02522But why then did I write?
A02522But, of thinges reputed indifferent?
A02522By what Lawe must wee write, nothing but large Scholasticall Discourses?
A02522By whose hand hath he published her diuorce?
A02522CAn you thinke this hangs well together?
A02522Call you our Doctrines some generall truthes?
A02522Can there be no Church, no Christians without them?
A02522Can we be worse then they?
A02522Can you find no difference?
A02522Can your charity finde nothing but rubbish?
A02522Can your heart suffer your tong to say, that there is no more diffrence betwixt Rome and vs, then there is betwixt vs and you?
A02522Christianity came in the roome of Iudaisme, was it therefore deriued from it?
A02522Consider, and conferre seriously: VVhat faith is it, that is thus necessarily required to each member in this Constitution?
A02522Could it escape all the holy Prophets, Apostles, Doctors of the old, middle, and later world, and light onely vpon these your three Patriarchs?
A02522Could you say worse of vs?
A02522De cauernis cellularum damnamus orbem; in sacco& cinere volutati de Episcopis sententiam ferimus: Quid facit sub tunica paenitentis regius animus?
A02522Did euer any of our Prelates challenge all the world as his Diocesse?
A02522Did not Manisses after his comming home to God, charge and commaund 〈 ◊ 〉 to serue the Lord God of Israel?
A02522Did they then, in that confused allowance of the Gospel, separate?
A02522Doctor, whom I beseech you should we follow, but God in his own seruices?
A02522Doe but stay till God haue separated vs from himselfe: will the wise husbandman cast away his Corne- heape for the chaffe and dust?
A02522Doe we preferre duetie to piety, and so plead for our holy mother Church, that we neglect our heauenly Father, yea offend him?
A02522Doe wee either denie, or vtterly forbeare this censure?
A02522Doth God separate from the faithfull soule, because it hath some corruptions, her Inmates, though not her commaunders?
A02522Doth he not from that sweet coniunction, and the effects of it: argue the deere respects that should bee in marriage?
A02522Doth he not make Christ the husband, the Church his spouse?
A02522Doth his grace couer them, and do you display them?
A02522Doubtlesse they were: Who can deny it?
A02522Either is disobedience no sinne, or might you do this euil that good may come of it?
A02522Externall light was Gods first creature, and shall this spirituall light, whereby all Churches should be discerned come thus late?
A02522For faith first: VVho are you, that dare thus boldy breake into the Closets of God, the hearts of men?
A02522For none( I hope) but our owne, And why not for them?
A02522God forbidde: This were high Treason against Gods annointed: what then?
A02522Grant we should be cleane separated from the world, yet if we be not, must you be separated from vs?
A02522HOw did confirmation escape this number?
A02522Ha ● ● we not a people?
A02522Hath he not laboured with you, the Elders and the Church, to bring you to peace?
A02522Hath hee not vsed the helpe and counsell of the Reformed Churches herein?
A02522Hath their double honour made voide their callings?
A02522Haue you learned to be more iust then your Maker?
A02522Haue you not sinnes enow of your owne, that you must needes borrow of others?
A02522He was with vs while you were here: Did he depart with you?
A02522His fall depends on the fall of others, or rather their rising from vnder him: If neither of these must be sudden, why is your hast?
A02522How can you expect compassion, when you breath fire, and write gall?
A02522How for all?
A02522How is the Church of Amsterdam now gathered from the world?
A02522How many haue we that conscionably teach and feede, or rather feede by teaching?
A02522How many hundred errours, how many damnable heresies haue we euinced with you, in that( so compounded) Church?
A02522How oft haue you said that there can bee no sound Church without this course, because no separation?
A02522How painefully and Diuinely did they labour in this Vineyard of God?
A02522How should wee be more inseparably commingled, then our good and euill?
A02522How vainely doe you seeke a knot in a rush, while you cauil at so holy a petition?
A02522How wrongfull is this force, to fasten an opinion vpon our Church which shee hath condemned?
A02522I Wrote not to you alone: what is become of your partner, yea, your guide?
A02522I forbeare to recapitulate, how much rather had I helpe to burie, then to reuiue such vn- christian exprobrations?
A02522I vtter both, they are both mine, if the heart speake them both, feelingly and deuoutly, where lies the Idoll?
A02522IF then such bee the good things of our Church; What good can you acknowledge to haue receiued from her?
A02522If Antichrist held not many truthes, wherewith should he countenance so many forgeries, or how could his work be a mistery of iniquitie?
A02522If God did not draw vs, and by asweat violence bend our wils to his, when should we follow him?
A02522If I may be freely allowed to be a true professed Christian, what care I vnder whose hands?
A02522If I pray therfore in spirit, and hartely vtter my desires to God, whether in mine owne wordes, or borrowed( and so made mine) what is the offence?
A02522If Princes leisures may not be stayed in reforming, yet shall not Gods in reiecting?
A02522If Sathan himselfe shall say of Christ; Thou art the sonne of the liuing God, shall I feare to repeate it?
A02522If a good Angell, or man shall speake that which is euill, is it euer the better for the Deliuerer?
A02522If one thing offend, doe all displease?
A02522If the King should offer vs his hand to kisse, we take it vpon our kneees: how much more when the King of heauen giues vs his sonne in these pledges?
A02522If the pompe of the Temple were ceremoniall, yet it leaues this morality behinde it, that Gods house should be decent, and what if goodly?
A02522If they had this aduantage against vs, how could wee stand?
A02522If we be traytors in our obedience: what doe you make of him that commands it?
A02522If yea, as who can denie it, that knowes what the worshippe of God meaneth?
A02522If you haue duely admonished him, and detested and bewailed his sinne; what is another mans prophanenesse to you?
A02522If you should finde a company of true Christians in vtmost India, would you stand vpon tearmes, and inquire how they became so?
A02522If you will not: why doe you obiect it?
A02522If you will; why doe you reuile her?
A02522In a conceiued prayer, is it not possible for a mans thought to stray from his tongue?
A02522In a word, could not God bee purely worshipped, if you were not?
A02522In earnest, doe you thinke wee make our Ordinary an Idoll?
A02522In his second Epistle: Come out( saith he) from among them: But, from whom?
A02522In hoc Ignoratis, quia malo exemplo possunt plurimi interire?
A02522In that it hates you?
A02522Is all this nothing to their ingrateful posterity?
A02522Is it no City, if there be mud- walles halfe- broken, low Cottages vnequally built, no state house?
A02522Is it not a law of the Eternall God, that the Ministers of the Gospell, the Bishops or Elders should be apt and able to teach?
A02522Is necessity with you become a sinne, and that haynous?
A02522Is not the willing neglect of your owne Parlor- decrees punished with excommunication?
A02522Is shee guilty euen of that which shee condemnes?
A02522Is there no remedy but you must needes haue such Elders, Pastors, Doctors, Relieuers, such Offices, such executions?

A02522No, what hath the body to doe with Purgatorie?
A02522Noah was righteous, the multitude disobedient: Who denies it?

A02522Tell mee why is it more idolatry for a man to worship God in, and by a praier read, or got by hart, then by a praier conceiued?

A02522The Ring was hallowed before by the booke; now it must be consecrated: How idlely?
A02522The Visible Church: Which is that?
A02522The quantitie varies not the kinde: Will you haue yet auncienter precedents?
A02522The rest in Noahs time were disobedient, and perished: What of all this?
A02522The third is our blasting Hierarchie, which suffers no good thing,( that is no Brownist, no singular fancy)( for what good things haue we but yours?)
A02522Then follow the wordes of consecration: I pray you, what difference is there betwixt hallowing, and consecration?
A02522Then we fell not from you: Euery Apostacie of a Church must needs be from the true Church; A true Church, and not yours?
A02522These you eschue as hell: While you goe on thus vncharitably, both alike: Doe you hate these more then Master Smith, and his faction hates yours?
A02522This is mere boyes- play: But wee pray over, or for the dead; Doe wee not sing to him also?
A02522This must needs be religious adoration: is there no remedie?
A02522This say we for our selues in no more charity then truth: But for you; how dare you make this shamelesse Comparison?

A02522Wherein haue wee runne from the tents of Christ?
A02522While you accuse our loyaltie to an earthly King, as treasonable to the King of the Church, Christ Iesus: If our loyaltie bee a sinne, where is yours?
A02522Who can not doe so?
A02522Who hath not?
A02522Who is fitter to offer vp the publike prayer, then the Minister?
A02522Why more then extreme needinesse?
A02522Why shall that be lawfull in a case of deiection, which may not in praise and exultation?

A02522You that wil not allow a Prince to compell subiects, VVill you allow subiects to compell Princes?
A02522Your act might haue saued your voice: what should our eyes and eares be troubled with one bad obiect?
A02522Your hatred is neither any newes, nor paine: Who or what of ours is not hatefull to you?

A02522Your tongues are your owne, who can forbid you?
A02522all in all ages, and places till now Apostates?

A02522wherefore serue names, but to denotate the nature of things?
A02522who knowes not that, to be the Mart of all the world?
A02522who rather then he which in the name of God may best blesse them?
A02522who should rather ioyne the parties in marriage, then the publique deputie of that God, who solemnly ioyned the first couple?
A02522will the separatists engrosse our Sauiour to themselues, and( as Cyprian said of Pupianus) goe to heauen alone?

A02522yea how should there be no sides?
A02522yea, confine the God of heauen to Amsterdam?
A02522yea, say if you dare, that other reformed Churches are not ouer the Ankles with vs in this Apostacy?
A02532A nation so vnthankfull for mercies, so impatient of remedies, so vncapable of repentance: so obliged, so warned, so shamelesly, so lawlesly wicked?
A02532Among the beathen: and who is more Ethnick then Sanballat?
A02532And if he be the true God, why is he not mine?
A02532And vvhen should Haman bee called to aduise of Mordecaies honour, but in the very instant, vvhen hee came to sue for Mordecaies hanging?
A02532And what becomes of Ioash?
A02532And what if Nehemiah had harkened to this counsell?
A02532And wherein can greatnesse bee better showne, then in the atcheiuments of warre, and the intertainments of peace?
A02532Are there no authors of good but blocks or Deuils?

A02532Besides, what will become of thy poore Church, which I shall leaue feebly religious, and as yet scarce warme, in the course of a pious reformation?
A02532Both are slaine in their charet; Both with an arrow; Both repay their blood to Naboth; and how perfit is this retaliation?

A02532But what shall wee say to so harsh an aggrauation?
A02532But what?
A02532Can I heare him plead a command from God, and not inquire into it?
A02532Can it stand with the honour of my soueraignty, to be thus proudly checked by subiects?
A02532Can the flattering applause of strangers let thee loose into a proud ioy, whom the late message of Gods Prophet resolued into teares?
A02532Can there bee a worse iudgement then desolation, captiuity, desertion, spoyle, and torture of preuailing enemies?
A02532Certainly, to a generous nature, death is farre more easie then bondage; why would she haue indured the greater, and yet so abhorres the lesse?

A02532Could I bee so bewitched as to passe so bloody a decree?
A02532Could he auoid the sense of those fifteene yeares, which were super- added to his fathers age?

A02532Could hee but know the slaughter that Gods Angell made in one night, of an hundred fourescore and fiue thousand?
A02532Could hee but see that euer- lasting monument of the noted degrees in the Dyall of Ahaz?
A02532Could his yonger eares escape the knowledge of Gods miraculous deliuerance of Ierusalem from the Assyrians?
A02532Could there bee fouler sinnes then these?
A02532Couldst thou feare, ô Ezekiah, that God had forgotten thine integrity?
A02532Dare he not trust his God with his owne businesses?
A02532Did I leaue Persians, to meet with Canaanites?
A02532Did it gall me to the heart, and make all my happinesse tedious vnto mee, to see that this Iew would not bow to me,& must I now bow to him?
A02532Did we not foreadmonish thee of thy danger?
A02532Didst thou not see that heauen it selfe was at thy becke, whilest thou wert humbled?
A02532Doe I not therefore smart from these Pagans, for that I secretly affected this vncircumcised alliance?
A02532Doe thou so to Mordecai?
A02532Doth he beleeue himselfe that he thus doubts ere he begin?
A02532Euen Princesses did not then scorne the bed of those that serued at Gods Altar: Why should the Gospel poure contempt vpon that which the Law honoured?
A02532Euery one of these words were steeped in teares: But what meant these words, these teares?
A02532False Hamā, hovv is it not for the Kings profit to suffer the Iewes?
A02532Had not the golden Scepter been held out, where had Queen Esther beene?
A02532Hath thine holy cariage merited any thing from that infinite Iustice?
A02532Haue not I the Priests, and Prophets of God about me?
A02532Haue you not carefully reformed all those abuses?
A02532Hee that spared not the naturall Oliue, shall hee spare the wild?
A02532How God blesses the deuout indeuours of his seruants?
A02532How bold a word was this, and how hazardous?
A02532How carefull is the God of compassions, that his holy seruant should not languish one houre, in the expectation of his denounced death?
A02532How could Ezra heare this with his cloathes, his haire, his beard vntorne?
A02532How could they choose but think; Alas, how are we fallen from our hopes?
A02532How did he swell with indignation; and then againe waxe pale with anger?
A02532How did the dispersed priests of Baal now flock together, and applaud each others happinesse, and magnifie the deuotions of their new Soueraigne?
A02532How doe their conioyned cries fill heauen, and earth?
A02532How doe they bemone themselues, each to other?
A02532How doe we thinke he lookt to heare himselfe thus enstyled, thus accused, yea, thus condemned?
A02532How easie is it for me to know the certainty of this pretended commission?
A02532How easie is it for thee to make very Pagans protectors to thy Church; enemies, benefactors?
A02532How easie is it to suggest strange vntruths, when there is no body to giue an answer?

A02532How gracious was the command of that, whereof the very allowance was a fauour?
A02532How happily hath Iosiah gained by this change?

A02532How large a triall doth God now secondly take of the faith, of the patience of his people?
A02532How little do we know what is towards vs?
A02532How many millions of Iewes were then liuing, that knew not there was a Mordecai?
A02532How many saw those ruines, and were little affected?
A02532How may I contribute to the establishment of that seed vpon earth, which God hath charged to be pull''d vp from vnder heauen?
A02532How may I professe respect, where God professeth enmity?
A02532How much better were a cleare captiutie, then an idolatrous freedome?

A02532How wonderfull is this mercy?
A02532How worthy is hee rather of the aide both of my power, and purse?
A02532Howsoeuer it bee, yet, ô God, what haue thy people done?
A02532I abhor to think that such a monster should descend from the loynes of Dauid; where shall bee the period of this wickednesse?

A02532I haue offended, returne from mee, what thou putst on mee will I beare?
A02532If for gaine, The Kings profit is in the largenesse of his Tributes; and what people are more deepe in their payments?

A02532If thou abhorrest Baal, why didst thou giue way to this last sacrifice?
A02532If thou construe this profit, for honor, The Kings honor is in the multitude of subiects, and what people more numerous then they?
A02532If thou weepest for his losse, why didst thou not weepe for those sinnes of thine, that procured it?
A02532If ye be Priests, remember that ye are subiects; or if ye will needs forget it, how easie is it for this hand to awake your memory?

A45200And wherefore serves that glorious Guard of Angels, which have by Divine Commission taken upon them the charge of thine Humanity?
A45200And who can willingly part from what he loves?
A45200And why are all other creatures said to praise God, and bidden to praise him, but because they doe it by the apprehension, by the expression of man?
A45200And why are they thus troubled?
A45200And why did he not?
A45200And why do we not still follow thee, O Saviour, through desarts and mountains, over land and seas, that we may be both healed and taught?
A45200And why dost not thou, O my Soul, help to bear thy part with that happy Quire of Heaven?
A45200And why mightest not thou, who madest all things, take liberty to destroy a plant for thine own Glory?
A45200And why not rather by his own hand to the multitude, that so the Miracle and thank might have been more immediate?
A45200And why sent by him?
A45200And why should our garments be of any other colour?
A45200And why should the Christian Church have less power then the Jewish Synagogue?
A45200And why the Woman rather?
A45200And why these?
A45200And yet why should it more trouble me to see thee sinking under thy Cross now, then to see thee anon hanging upon thy Cross?
A45200Applause of his abettours, contempt of the Scribes and Pharisees, ignorance of the multitude?
A45200Are not these of them that could say, Master, the evil spirits are subdued to us?
A45200Are not these they that ejected Devils by their command?
A45200Are our Offerings more noted then our Sacrileges?
A45200Are there not twelve hours in the day, which are duely set and proceed regularly for the direction of all the motions and actions of men?
A45200Are we afflicted, whither should we go but to Cana, to seek Christ?
A45200Are we more orthodox, and shall not we be as charitable?
A45200Are we naturally timorous?
A45200Are we pinched with want?
A45200Are ye not afraid he will wrest the Scepter out of Caesar''s hand?
A45200Are ye now also at rest, O ye Jewish Rulers?
A45200Art thou come to torment us before our time?
A45200Art thou rather pleased that gross sins should be blanched, and sent away with a gentle connivency?
A45200Art thou the Prophet of God, that so disdainfully entertainest poor suppliants?
A45200As if that shameless man meant to outbrave all accusations, and to outface his own heart, he dares ask too, Master, is it I?
A45200At whose board did he ever sit, and left not his host a gainer?
A45200Because fools jear thee, dost thou forbear thy work?
A45200Before the Devil had spoken singularly of himself, What have I to doe with thee?
A45200Behold the man; the man whom ye envied for his greatness, whom ye feared for his usurpation: Doth he not look like a King?
A45200Besides his own, what favour was he worthy of for his Masters sake?
A45200Besides this undervaluation, how unjust is the ground of this doubt?
A45200Besides, how injuriously dost thou take this woman for what she was?
A45200Blessed Jesu, how thou pitiest the errours and infirmities of thy servants?
A45200Blessed Jesu, if as Man thou wouldst be made a little lower then the Angels; how can it disparage thee to be attended and cheared up by an Angel?
A45200Blessed Jesu, who are those?
A45200But all this can not deliver thee from the just blame of this bold subincusation, Lord, dost thou not care?
A45200But all this while what part hath the Moon in this man''s misery?
A45200But art thou, O Saviour, ever the more discouraged by the derision and censure of these scornfull unbelievers?
A45200But his domesticall fare how simple, how homely it is?
A45200But how gladly do we second the Angel in the praise of her, who was more ours then his?
A45200But how ill guests were these?
A45200But how modestly dost thou discover thy Deity to thy Disciples?
A45200But if Herod were troubled,( as Tyranny is still suspicious,) why was all Jerusalem troubled with him?
A45200But if without leave they can not set upon an Hog, what can they doe to the living Images of their Creatour?
A45200But is it the name of Elias( O ye Zelots) which ye pretend for a colour of your impotent desire?
A45200But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast?
A45200But now what a demonstration of power doth both the world and I see, in thy glorious Resurrection?
A45200But oh, what tongue of the highest Archangel of Heaven can express the welcome of thee the King of Glory into those Blessed Regions of Immortality?
A45200But say it had been what they mistook it for, a Spirit; why should they fear?
A45200But to man, how ever favourable and indulgent wert thou?
A45200But to whom dost thou make this moan, O thou Saviour of men?
A45200But what ails you, O ye Rulers of Israel, that ye stand thus thronging at the door?
A45200But what is this I hear?
A45200But what is this I see?
A45200But what shall I say of so sharp and imperious an act from so meek an Agent?
A45200But what shall I say to you Courtiers, but even as Saint Paul to his Corinthians, Ye are full, ye are rich, ye are strong without us?
A45200But what shall we say to this thine early hunger?
A45200But what strange variety do I see in the spectatours of his Miracle, some wondering, others censuring, a third sort tempting, a fourth applauding?
A45200But what was this other, then to serve a Prentiship in the house of bondage?
A45200But what?
A45200But where wert thou, O Blessed Jesu, for the space of these three days?
A45200But whither then, O whither dost thou carry that blessed burthen, by which thy self and the world are upholden?
A45200But who can tell whether that silence or this answer be more grievous?
A45200But whom do I see wondering?
A45200But why didst thou curse a poor Tree for the want of that fruit which the season yielded not?
A45200But why didst thou not, O Centurion, rather bring thy Servant to Christ for cure, then sue for him absent?
A45200But why then, O Saviour, why didst thou thus inquire, thus expostulate?
A45200But why to them?
A45200But, O Blessed Virgin, who can express the sorrows of thy perplexed soul, wben all that evening- search could afford thee no news of thy Son Jesus?
A45200But, O Saviour, how doth this agree?
A45200But, O Saviour, may I presume to ask what this is to thee?
A45200But, O Saviour, whilst thou dignifiest them in thy grant, dost thou disparage thy self in thy denial?
A45200But, O fond Herod, what needed this unjust scrupulousness?
A45200By whose hands perished the Prophets?
A45200Can I bring him back again?
A45200Can I chuse but wonder how Peter could thus strike unwounded?
A45200Can men be so sottish, to think that the vowed enemy of their souls can offer them a bait without an hook?
A45200Can neither the silence of Christ nor his denial silence her?
A45200Can not he, in whose hands are the issues of death, bring her back again?
A45200Can they begin their will, In Dei nomine, Amen; and give nothing to God?
A45200Can we bequeath our Souls to Christ in Heaven, and give nothing to his Lims on earth?
A45200Can we marvell that Zacchaeus received Christ joyfully?
A45200Can ye so converse with leud good- fellows, as that ye repress their sins, redress their exorbitances, win them to God?
A45200Canst thou be so injurious to me as to think I yield, because I want aid to resist?
A45200Canst thou be so weak as to imagine that this Suffering of mine is not free and voluntary?
A45200Canst thou distrust the certainty of that dreadfull menace of vengeance?
A45200Canst thou dream waking, thus to avoid the charge of thy wife''s dream?
A45200Canst thou love those thou regardest not?
A45200Could Joseph now chuse but think, Is this the King that must save Israel, that needs to be saved by me?
A45200Could she be in a safer place then before the Tribunall of a Saviour?
A45200Could there be a meaner?
A45200Could there be a more just cause wherein to draw his sword then in thy quarrell?
A45200Could there be an affection more worth incouragement then the love to such a Master?
A45200Could thy fellows see such a demonstration of Power and Goodness with unrelenting hearts?
A45200Could we but speak for our selves, as this Captain did for his servant, what could we possibly want?
A45200Could ye suppose that I would condemn any man unheard?
A45200Did I fly upon thee otherwise then with my prayers and tears?
A45200Did I not once before call thee Satan, for suggesting to me this immunity from my Passion?
A45200Did I snarl or bark at thee, when I called thee the Son of David?
A45200Did John take the ear and heart of Herod, and doth Herod bind the hands and feet of John?
A45200Did ever any man that ran for a prize say, I will keep up with the rest?
A45200Did they not run from thee?
A45200Did ye not live( many of you) to see your City buried in ashes, and drowned in bloud?
A45200Didst thou call for fire from Heaven upon them?
A45200Didst thou not see how easy it had been for me to have blown away these poor forces of my adversaries?
A45200Do we find our selves haunted with the familiar Devills of Pride, Self- love, Sensuall desires, Unbelief?
A45200Do we groan on the bed of our sickness, and languishing in pain complain of long hours and weary sides?
A45200Do we pray to thee?
A45200Do we think she spared her search?
A45200Do ye complain of the Blindness of your Ignorance?
A45200Do ye long to be stained with bloud, with the bloud of God?
A45200Do ye not now see that he who made your heart, knows it, and anticipates your fond thoughts with the same breath?
A45200Do ye pretend Holiness, and urge so injurious a violence?
A45200Do ye think that S. Paul''s rule, Non in comessationibus& ebrietate, not in surfeiting and drunkenness, was for work- days onely?
A45200Do ye thus part with your no less meek then glorious King?
A45200Do ye thus requite the Lord, O ye foolish people and unjust?
A45200Do you think I may take your complaint for a crime?
A45200Dost thou ask of one; when thou art pressed by many?
A45200Dost thou challenge the Lord of Heaven and earth of incogitancy and neglect?
A45200Dost thou go about to hinder thine own and the whole world''s Redemption?
A45200Dost thou know, Pilate, who we are?
A45200Dost thou take upon thee to prescribe unto that infinite Wisedom, in stead of receiving directions from him?
A45200Doth God''s poor Church goe to wreck, whilst the ploughers ploughing on her back make long furrows?
A45200Doth he not know that if he be not foremost, he loseth?
A45200Doth he not rather snatch this sword out of that impure hand, and beat Satan with the weapon which he abuseth?
A45200Doth he take upon him to make wine for the marriage- feast of Cana?
A45200Doth he take upon him to prepare a table for his Israel in the desart?
A45200Doth he wilfully imprison whom he gladly heard?
A45200Doth so small a Gnat stick in your throats, whilst ye swallow such a Camel of flagitious wickedness?
A45200Doth this Holy man mean thus to quench our feast, and cool our stomacks?
A45200Doubtless they went first to the Court; where else should they ask for a King?
A45200Durst I have set my foot where he did?
A45200Elias did so; why not we?
A45200Even Pilate begins justly, What accusation bring you against this man?
A45200Even so, O Blessed Jesu, how ambitiously should we follow thee with the paces of Love and Faith, and aspire towards thy Glory?
A45200Even that had been a cruel mercy from him; for what evil hadst thou done?
A45200Even we weak men, what can we stick at where we love?
A45200Even when thou hast found us, how hardly do we follow thee?
A45200Ever Lepers will flock to their fellows: where shall we find one spiritual Leper alone?
A45200Every day may we hear him in our streets, and yet be as new to seek as these Citizens of Jerusalem; Who is this?
A45200Every good gift and every perfect giving come down from above: how can we look off from that place whence we receive all good?
A45200Fear not?
A45200Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde?
A45200For how should Christ both depart at Jerusalem, and stay in the Mount?
A45200For them; What reward shall be given to thee, thou false tongue?
A45200For what womb can conceive thee, and not partake of thee?
A45200From the mountain wert thou taken up; and what but Heaven is above the hills?
A45200HOW different, how contrary are our conditions here upon earth?
A45200HOW troublesome did the people''s importunity seem to Jairus?
A45200Had I stood by and heard them, should I not have said, What holy, honest, conscionable men are these?
A45200Had he not begotten many children of her, as the pledges of their love?
A45200Had he not chosen her out of all the earth?
A45200Had he pleased to resist, how easily had he with one breath blown thee and thy complices down into their Hell?
A45200Had it not been easie for thee( O Saviour) to have acquit thy self from Herod a thousand ways?
A45200Had not Satan tempted thee, how shouldst thou have overcome?
A45200Had not he been a wise Disciple that should have envied the great favour done to Judas, and have stomacked his own preterition?
A45200Had not that thy Divine Master foretold thee with the rest that he must be crucified, and the third day rise again?
A45200Had not thine entrance been recorded for strange and supernaturall, why was thy standing in the midst noted before thy passage into the room?
A45200Had our Saviour said in plain terms, Simon, whether dost thou or this sinner love me more?
A45200Had these holy women known their Jesus to be alive, how had they hasted, who made such speed to doe their last offices to his sacred Corps?
A45200Had they had victuals, they had not called for a dismission; and not having, how should they give?
A45200Had this duty been neglected, what clamours had been raised by his emulous adversaries?
A45200Had thy God left thee?
A45200Had thy fear put thee to so long a flight, that as yet thou wert not returned to thy fellows?
A45200Had we been in the stead of this Publican, how would our hearts have leapt within us for joy of such a presence?
A45200Had ye said, Why would he not?
A45200Hadst thou gone sooner, and prevented the death, who had known whether strength of Nature, and not thy miraculous power, had done it?
A45200Hast thou disregarded thy Blessed self, to save them?
A45200Hast thou refused all Glory, to put on shame and misery for their sakes?
A45200Hast thou said, Not Heaven, but Earth; not Sovereignty, but Service; not the Gentile, but the Jew?
A45200Hast thou yet enough?
A45200Hath Pilate enough served your envy and revenge?
A45200Hath not God made the wisedome of the world foolishness?
A45200Hath not this poor woman yet done?
A45200Have I not given to thee and to the world many undeniable proofs of my Omnipotence?
A45200Have they made their Mammon their God, in stead of making friends with their Mammon to God?
A45200Have we piped at so many Funerals, and seen and lamented so many Corpses, and can not we distinguish betwixt Sleep and Death?
A45200Have ye onely a postern to go to Heaven by your selves, where- through ye can go, besides the foolishness of Preaching?
A45200Have ye yet enough of that bloud which ye called for upon your selves and your children?
A45200He can not, he dare not say, What hast thou to doe with me?
A45200He could as well have multiplied the loaves whole; why would he rather doe it in the breaking?
A45200He is but in his trade, whilst he is bartering even for his Master; What will ye give me?
A45200He is gone: can it trouble you to know you have an Advocate in Heaven?
A45200He saith not, I came with these men, with them I will goe; if they will return, I will accompany them; if not, what should I goe alone?
A45200He that commands us to honour Father and Mother, doth he disdain her whose flesh he took?
A45200He that could give himself life, can more easily take mine: how can I escape the hands of a now- immortal and impassible avenger?
A45200He that had humility enough to kneel to the Son of God, hath boldness enough to expostulate; Art thou come to torment us before our time?
A45200He that knew all their thoughts afar off, yet, as if he had been a stranger to their purposes, asks, What wouldst thou?
A45200He that knew all things, asks questions; How long hath he been so?
A45200He that said once, Who touched me?
A45200He that sent word to John for great news, that the poor receive the Gospel, said also, How hard is it for a rich man to enter into heaven?
A45200He that was sanctified in the womb, born and conceived with so much note and miracle,( What manner of child shall this be?)
A45200He wanted not malice and presumption to assault thee?
A45200He was condemned that increased not the summe concredited to him: what shall become of him that lawlesly impairs it?
A45200He was then stone- blind; what distinction could he yet make of persons, of actions?
A45200He who before had said, If this man were a Prophet, he would have known what manner of Woman this is, now hears, Seest thou this Woman?
A45200He whose sweet mildness and mercy never sent away any suppliant discontented, doth he onely frown upon her that bare him?
A45200Her Son and Saviour is her monitour, out of his Divine love reforming her natural: How is it that ye sought me?
A45200Her former tears said, Who shall deliver me from this body of death?
A45200Her modesty and her tears bewray her change: and if she be changed, why is she censured for what she is not?
A45200Here are the mouths, but where is the meat?
A45200His Obedience drew him up to that bloudy Feast, wherein himself was sacrificed; how much more now, that he might sacrifice?
A45200Hospital, in the glad entertainment of Jesus and his train; Pious, in their Devotions; Unanimous, in their mutual Concord?
A45200How God fits lewd men with restraints?
A45200How I envy those locks that were graced with the touch of those sacred feet; but much more those lips that kissed them?
A45200How am I thine, if I be not risen?
A45200How apt are we, if thou dost never so little vary from our apprehensions, to mis- know thee, and to wrong our selves by our mis- opinions?
A45200How are their sleeps broken with cares?
A45200How art thou faln from heaven, O Lucifer?
A45200How basely therefore dost thou speak of chaffering for him whose the world was?
A45200How beautifull do the feet of those deserve to be, who bring the glad tidings of peace and Salvation?
A45200How boldly may we spit in the faces of all the impure Adversaries of Wedlock, when the Son of God pleases to honour it?
A45200How boldly should we come to the throne of Grace, in respect of the grace of that throne?
A45200How boldly therefore may we go unto the Throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace of help in time of need?
A45200How bounteously open were their hands to the house of God?
A45200How camest thou, O Saviour, to be thus tempted?
A45200How can God bless us, if we implore him not?
A45200How can I be enough sensible of my own stripes?
A45200How can I look for favour, whilst I return rebellion?
A45200How can I now fear a conquered enemy?
A45200How can Joy but enter into her heart, out of whose womb shall come Salvation?
A45200How can it trouble us to be rejected of the world, which is not ours?
A45200How can my heart but tremble to hear this suit from the Captain of our Salvation?
A45200How can she chuse but think, If I have offended, why was I not secretly taxed for it in a sisterly familiarity?
A45200How can these Jews but either believe, or be made inexcusable in not believing?
A45200How can we be abased low enough for thee,( O Saviour) that hast thus neglected thy self for us?
A45200How can we be unwelcome to thee, if we come with tears in our eyes, faith in our hearts, restitution in our hands?
A45200How can we doe or will without him?
A45200How can we either fear danger, or complain of solitariness, whilst we have so unseparable, so glorious Companions?
A45200How can we either neglect means, or despise homeliness, when thou the God of all the World wouldst stoop to the suit of so poor a provision?
A45200How can we ever enough magnifie thy Mercy, who takest no pleasure in the death of a sinner?
A45200How can we hope ever to be transfigured from a lump of corrupt flesh, if we do not ascend and pray?
A45200How can we hope he should be sparing of false boasts, and of unreasonable promises unto us, when he dares offer Kingdoms to him by whom Kings reign?
A45200How can we profess him a God, and doubt of his power?
A45200How can we profess him a Saviour, and doubt of his will?
A45200How can we then enough love and praise thy mercy, O thou preserver of men?
A45200How can we want Blessings, when so many cords draw them down upon our heads?
A45200How can ye now, O ye cavillers, except at that title, which ye shall see irrefragably justified?
A45200How canst thou but come to us in vengeance, if we come not down to entertain thee in a thankfull obedience?
A45200How captious a word is this?
A45200How carefully frugal should we be in the notice, account, usage of God''s several favours, since his bounty sets all his gifts upon the file?
A45200How carefully should we avoid those actions which may ever stain us?
A45200How carefully should we furnish our selves with this powerfull munition?
A45200How comes the name of that goodly Planet in question?
A45200How comfortless, how desperate should be our lying down, if it were not for this assurance of rising?
A45200How contrary may the affections of Christ and ours be, and yet be both good?
A45200How could Heaven chuse but shake at such a Prayer from the Power that made it?
A45200How could he chuse but be heard of his Father, who was one with the Father?
A45200How could he imagine this to be John?
A45200How could she in that site wash his feet with her tears?
A45200How could she, that was full of God, be other then full of Joy in that God?
A45200How could that touch, that Call be other then effectual?
A45200How could the neighbours doe less then ask where he was that had done so strange a Cure?
A45200How could they chuse but fear lest their Master had, with himself, with- drawn that spiritual power which they had formerly exercised?
A45200How could they chuse but think, Were he not the Son of God, how could these things be?
A45200How could they ever fear to be miserable, that saw such precedents of their insuing glory?
A45200How could they think of a parting?
A45200How could we have avoided so formidable and deadly evils, if thou hadst not willingly undergone them?
A45200How could ye subsist, whilst he thus suffers in whom ye are?
A45200How cruel is a wicked heart, that can take pleasure in those things which have most horrour?
A45200How did the Kingdom of Heaven suffer an holy violence in these his followers?
A45200How did these Jewish bloud- suckers stand thunder- stricken with so unexpected a word?
A45200How did they sing, Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in?
A45200How did this man know what Jesus did?
A45200How did thy Blessed Mother now wish her veil upon thy shoulders?
A45200How didst thou struggle under the weight of our sins, that thou thus sweatest, that thou thus bleedest?
A45200How didst thou think of the miraculous formation of that thy Divine burthen by the power of the Holy Ghost?
A45200How didst thou vow, though thou shouldst die with thy Master, not to deny him?
A45200How didst thou, with thy carefull Husband spend that restless night in mutual expostulations, and bemoanings of your loss?
A45200How different are thy ways from ours?
A45200How do all things now seem to conspire to the vexing of the poor Disciples?
A45200How do they foam and gnash whom he hath drawn to an impatient repining at God''s afflictive hand?
A45200How do they pine away who hourly decay and languish in Grace?
A45200How do we follow thee, if we suffer either pleasures or profits to take the wall of thy services?
A45200How do we resemble him, if his life were all pain and labour, ours all pastime?
A45200How do ye vainly wish that he could deceive you in the fore- reporting of his own Resurrection?
A45200How dost thou now take notice of all our complaints, of all our infirmities?
A45200How dost thou raise their titles with thy self?
A45200How doth he tear and rack them whom he vexes and distracts with inordinate cares and sorrows?
A45200How durst thou yet resolve to lift up thy hand against him, who knows thine offence, and can either prevent or revenge it?
A45200How easie had it been for our Saviour, to have confounded Satan by the power of his Godhead?
A45200How easie had it been for thee, to have made place for thy self in the throngs of the stateliest Courts?
A45200How easily and how far may the best be miscarried with a common errour?
A45200How easily can they carry those Souls which are under their power to destruction?
A45200How easily could I rave at that rude hand?
A45200How easily couldst thou have done so here?
A45200How easily may our Reason or Sense befool us in Divine matters?
A45200How easily might they be mistaken?
A45200How easy is it for him that made the heart, to put either terrour or courage into it at pleasure?
A45200How else should a piece of wheaten bread nourish the Soul?
A45200How else should the world have seen thou canst be severe as well as meek and mercifull?
A45200How fain would he have freed Jesus, whom he found faultless?
A45200How familiar a word is this, Lazarus, come forth?
A45200How far then may our care reach to these earthly things?
A45200How fearfull is the consideration of the number of Apostate Angels?
A45200How few but would have faln into intemperate passions, into passionate expostulations?
A45200How fit was that to receive him, whose in- dwellers were hospital, pious, unanimous?
A45200How free was it for thy Father to convey seasonable consolations to thine humbled Soul, by whatsoever means?
A45200How full of terrours and inevitable perplexities is guiltiness?
A45200How glad wouldst thou have been, since this last news, to have had thy Daughter alive, though weak and sickly?
A45200How gladly did every tongue celebrate both the work and the authour?
A45200How gladly did they spend their breath in acclaiming thee?
A45200How gladly dost thou now resign thy grave to him in whom thou livest, and who liveth for ever, whose Soul is in Paradise, whose Godhead every- where?
A45200How gladly doth Peter afterwards recount it?
A45200How glorious did the Temple now seem, that the Owner was within the walls of it?
A45200How glorious did this Angel of thine appear?
A45200How glorious therefore was it for thee, O Saviour, how happy for us, that thou wert tempted?
A45200How graciously doth Jesus still prevent the Publican, as in his sight, notice, compellation, so in his invitation too?

A45200O Saviour, did ever so hard a word fall from those mild lips?
A45200O Saviour, didst thou take flesh for our Redemption, to be thus indignly used, thus mangled, thus tortured?
A45200O Saviour, distance was no hindrance to thy work: why should the Demoniack be brought to thee?
A45200O Saviour, how can thy servants challenge that freedom which thy self hadst not?
A45200O Saviour, how can we, thy sinfull servants, think much to be exercised with hunger and thirst, when we hear thee thus plain?
A45200O Saviour, how justly mightest thou have left this man to his own pertinacy?
A45200O Saviour, how many parts of thee are here active?
A45200O Saviour, how much evidence had thy Resurrection wanted, if these enemies had not been thus maliciously provident?
A45200O Saviour, how oft hadst thou cured blindnesses by thy word alone?
A45200O Saviour, how should our weakness have ever hoped to climb into Heaven, if thou hadst not gone before and made way for us?
A45200O Saviour, how worthy are they to want thee that wish to be rid of thee?
A45200O Saviour, if thou foundest cause to censure the weakness and poverty of his Faith, what mayest thou well say to mine?
A45200O Saviour, if thou wert such in Tabor, what art thou in Heaven?
A45200O Saviour, there is no day wherein thou dost not call us by the voice of thy Gospel: what doe we still lingering in the Sycomore?
A45200O Saviour, thou hast made us fishers of men; how should we learn of thee, so to bait our hooks, that they may be most likely to take?
A45200O Saviour, what a killing indignity was this for thee to hear from thine own Nation?
A45200O Saviour, what a precedent is this of thy free and powerfull grace?
A45200O Saviour, what do we seek for any precedent but thine, whose name we challenge?
A45200O Saviour, what doest thou else every day but invite thy self to us in thy Word, in thy Sacraments?
A45200O Saviour, what must thou needs feel when thou saidst so?
A45200O Saviour, whilst we desire our spirituall resuscitation, how should we labour to bring thee to our grave?
A45200O Saviour, whither should we have recourse but to thine Oracle?
A45200O Saviour, why should we not imitate thee in this mercifull improvement of our Senses?
A45200O Simon, thy Saviour is come into thine own ship to call thee, to call others by thee unto Blessedness, and dost thou say, Lord, goe from me?
A45200O blessed Apostle, can it be any wrong to say of thee that which thou hast written of thy self, not for insultation, not for exprobration?
A45200O blessed Syrophoenician, who taught thee this abstract of Divinity?
A45200O dear Jesu, how shouldst thou doe other then thirst?
A45200O dear Jesu, what a beginning is here of a Passion?
A45200O dear Saviour, who can miss, and not mourn for thee?
A45200O gracious and divine Zeal, the kindly warmth and vital temper of Piety, whither hast thou withdrawn thy self from the cold hearts of men?
A45200O grave, where is thy victory?
A45200O my Saviour, what an agony am I in, whilst I think of thine?
A45200O thou that saidst, I and my Father are one, dost thou suffer ought from thy Father but what thou wouldst, what thou determinedst?
A45200O thou weak Christian, was onely one or two lims of Christ''s body glorious in the Transfiguration, or the whole?
A45200O ye sons of men, how long will ye love vanity, and follow after lies?
A45200O ye sons of men, how long,& c?
A45200Of Nazareth, say you?
A45200Of whom do the Kings of the earth receive tribute?
A45200Oh how worthy is the King of Glory to command our eyes now in the highest pitch of his Heavenly exaltation?
A45200Oh what pangs were these, dear Jesu, that drew from thee this complaint?
A45200Oh what shall become of us, that reel and fall in the clearest Sun- shine that ever looked forth upon any Church?
A45200Once, when Peter ask''d thee a question concerning John, What shall this man doe?
A45200One grain of Faith in thy very Disciples was enough to remove mountains; and dost thou say, Take away the stone?
A45200Onwards thy pretence is fair, and such as can not but receive applause from thy compacted crue; What need have we of witnesses?
A45200Or how could that at once be which Moses and Elias had told him, and that which he wished?
A45200Or is this according to the just constitution of the old and decrepit age of the world, into which we are fallen?
A45200Or was it chiefly for the Woman''s sake; for the praise of her Faith, for the securing of her Conscience?
A45200Or was it in a representation of that loud voice of the last Trumpet, which shall sound into all graves, and raise all flesh from their dust?
A45200Or was it out of an honour and respect to Christ, that in his presence she would not presume to call off her Sister without his leave?
A45200Or was it out of cunning?
A45200Or was it rather for that thou couldst not?
A45200Or was it rather out of partiality?
A45200Or was it that this phrase doth not so much import posture as presence?
A45200Others indeed I have vexed, thee I fear: in respect then of any violence, of any personal provocation, What have I to doe with thee?
A45200Our desires are uttered in our Prayers: What can we wish but to have what we would?
A45200Perhaps Pilate supposed some such business now on foot, and therefore asks so curiously, Art thou the King of the Jews?
A45200Pilate had given leave to break the bones of the living, he gave no leave to goar the side of the dead: what wicked superrerogation is this?
A45200Pilate had helpt to kill him; but who shall keep him from rising?
A45200Pilate takes this intimation at the first bound; Art thou then the King of the Jews?
A45200Quae nunc nos angit vesania vitiorum, sitire absynthium,& c?
A45200Quantum mali facit nimia subtilitas?
A45200Said he formally thus as ye have deposed?
A45200Saidst thou not well, O Saviour, I have chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Devil?
A45200Satan himself with a Bible under his arm, with a Text in his mouth, It is written, He shall give his Angels charge over thee?
A45200Say then, thou wife of Zebedee, what is it that thou cravest of thine Omnipotent kinsman?
A45200Shall none be seen with him in the Tabor of Heaven but those which have seen him in Horeb and Carmel?
A45200Shall we yet call this a suit, or a complaint?
A45200She did not murmur, not whisper, but cry out: couldst thou but pity, but regard her that was as good as she was miserable?
A45200She knew him what he was; and could therefore speak to thee, as brought in by his mediation, Art not thou also one of this man''s Disciples?
A45200She says not, Who and whence art thou?
A45200Shew our selves to the Priests?
A45200Shouldst thou, O God, stand strictly upon the punctual degrees of knowledge, how wide would it goe with millions of Souls?
A45200Since thou wert so fervent, why didst thou not rather fall upon that Treachour that betray''d him, then that Sergeant that arrested him?
A45200Sir, it is too little for our selves; whence shall we then relieve our own hunger?
A45200Sixteen hundred years are now passed since you wished your selves thus wretched: have ye not been ever since the hate and scorn of the world?
A45200Sleepest thou, Peter?
A45200So as now the neighbours can say, Is this the man?
A45200Speak out, woman; what is this certain thing that thou cravest?
A45200Still the sacred Tribe challengeth reverence: who cares how little they receive, how much they pay?
A45200Still, O Saviour, dost thou walk through our Jericho: what would become of us, if thou shouldst stay till we seek thee alone?
A45200Surely there is no Angel in Heaven but would have been proud to attend thee; and what could the earth afford worthy of thy train?
A45200Surely, they were not verier Lepers then we: why do we not imitate them in their actions, who are too like them in our condition?
A45200THE sentence of Death is past, and now who can with dry eyes behold the sad pomp of my Saviour''s bloudy execution?
A45200Tell me then, Herod, what could the people doe at the worst?
A45200That enmity that spared not to strike at the head, will it forbear the weakest and remotest limb?
A45200That sight had well fore- arm''d and prepared them for this: how could they be dismay''d to see his trouble, who there saw his Majesty?
A45200The Angels did attend thee, they did not aid thee: whence had they their strength but from thee?
A45200The Disciples see the blind man too, but with different eyes: our Saviour for pity and cure, they for expostulation; Master, who did sin?
A45200The Disciples, who were not used to these affronts, can not but be troubled at their mis- success: Master, why could not we cast him out?
A45200The Feast ended, what should they doe but return to Nazareth?
A45200The Lion shall roar, who shall not be afraid?
A45200The Swine ran down violently; what marvell is it if their Keepers fled?
A45200The attending Disciples could not be to seek for an answer; which of the Prophets have not put it into their mouths?
A45200The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
A45200The first Fole of the Ass is commanded, under the Law, to have his neck broken: what is that to us?
A45200The mannerly Collectours demand it first of him, with whom they might be more bold; Doth not your Master pay tribute?
A45200The noise of the Gospel is common; but where is the power of it?
A45200The offender is worthy of stoning, but who shall cast them?
A45200The onely thought they now take is, Who shall roll away the stone?
A45200The throne of David did so fill their eyes, that they could not see his Cross: and if they must let down this Pill, how bitter must it needs be?
A45200The touch of an ordinary( though honest) Jew was their pollution; how much more the presence of a Strumpet?
A45200The very heathen Poet could say, A Jove principium: and which of those verse- mongers ever durst write a ballad without imploring of some Deity?
A45200The wicked Spirits have their wish; the Swine are choaked in the waves: What ease is this to them?
A45200The world is your servant: if it were your Parasite, yet could it make you heartily merry?
A45200These are such as must hold the Devils themselves( their Masters) unto the judgment of the great Day; how much more those impotent Vassals?
A45200These are the tongues that must win the whole world to an assent; and durst thou the first man detrect to yield?
A45200They stand not silent therefore, but, directing their speech to the amazed beholders, say, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing into Heaven?
A45200They told thee, We have seen the Lord; was not this enough?
A45200They well knew that Stars did not use to attend earthly Kings; and if their aim had not been higher, what was a Jewish King to Persian Strangers?
A45200Think that Christ saith to thee at every Sermon as he did to Peter, Etiam, Petre, dormis?
A45200This Day, this Deep they tremble at: what shall I say of those men that fear it not?
A45200This journey thou hast purposed and contrived; but what neededst thou to acquaint thy Disciples with thine intent?
A45200This piece of the clause was spoken like a Saint, Jesus, the Son of the Most high God: the other piece like a Devil, What have I to doe with thee?
A45200This was the Place: what was the Use of it?
A45200Those tears which she did let drop into the Sepulcher, send up back to her the voice of those Angels, Woman, why weepest thou?
A45200Thou a challenger of temporall Sovereignty, who avoidedst it, renouncedst it, professedst to come to serve?
A45200Thou a forbidder of Tribute, who payedst it, who prescribedst it, who provedst it to be Caesar''s due?
A45200Thou a perverter of the Nation, who taughtest the way of God truely?
A45200Thou also supposes the first acknowledged such; yet what crime, what danger was urged upon that noted Disciple?
A45200Thou art God all- sufficient; what can we want when we want not thee?
A45200Thou not long since saidst, I and my Father are one: Are ye now severed?
A45200Thou who hadst said, One of you is a Devil, didst not now say, Avoid, Satan; but, Friend, wherefore art thou come?
A45200Thus unconceivably heavy was the revenge: but what was the offence?
A45200Thy Pulpit shall I call it, or thine Oratory?
A45200To carve a man out of thine own dish, what could it seem to argue but a singularity of respect?
A45200To what purpose did thy spear pierce so many hearts in that one?
A45200To whom should we complain of any want, but to the Maker and Giver of all things?
A45200To whom should we have recourse in all our spiritual complaints but to the agents and messengers of God?
A45200To whom then dost thou send her?
A45200Unto this, how weakly didst thou, because of Christ''s silent admission of the woman, suppose him ignorant of her quality?
A45200WAS this then thy first Miracle, O Saviour, that thou wroughtest in Cana of Galilee?
A45200WEll might these Wise men have suspected Herod''s Secrecy: If he had meant well, what needed that whispering?
A45200WHat a Preface do I find to my Saviour''s Passion?
A45200WHat a busie life was this of Christ''s?
A45200WHat flocking there was after Christ which way soever he went?
A45200Was it a modest kind of mannerliness in Martha, that she would not have Christ annoyed with the ill sent of that stale carkass?
A45200Was it a question of applause, or of contempt, or of ignorance?
A45200Was it because it had not been so great an advantage to thee that he should fall by thy means, as by his own?
A45200Was it for that Martha, being the elder Sister, and the huswife of the family, might stir about with less observation?
A45200Was it for that their malice held a quick dispatch too much Mercy?
A45200Was it for that thou, who knewest thine own strength, knewest also their weakness?
A45200Was it for that thy Disciples, being of thy robe, might justly seem interessed in the liberties of their Master?
A45200Was it for that ye would not defile your selves with the contagion of an Heathen roof?
A45200Was it for that, whilst they meant to be bloudy, they would fain seem just?
A45200Was it for thy own sake; that the glory of the Miracle might thus come to light, which otherwise had been smothered in silence?
A45200Was it in a mild taxation of her mistaking?
A45200Was it in obedience to the Law?
A45200Was it not then, as now, that the weakest soonest suffers; and impotency lays us open to the malice of an enemy?
A45200Was it not with thy Father and thee as it was with thee and Moses?
A45200Was it out of necessity?
A45200Was it out of the strength of thy Faith, which assured thee thou neededst not shew thy Servant to him who saw all things?
A45200Was it possible that the wit of Envy could devise so high a Slander?
A45200Was it that our Saviour did not sit at the Feast,( after our fashion,) but, according to the then- Jewish and Roman fashion, lay on the one side?
A45200Was it that the greatness of the voice might answer to the greatness of the work?
A45200Was it that the guilty wretch upon the fact done subduced himself, and shrouded his false head under the wings of darkness?
A45200Was it that the strength of the voice might answer to the strength of the affection?
A45200Was it that thou couldst not so suddenly apprehend the odious depth of that Villany, and instantly hate him that had been thy old companion?
A45200Was it that though Judas were more faulty, yet Malchus was more imperiously cruell?
A45200Was it that thy amazedness as yet conceived not the purposed issue of this seizure, and astonishedly waited for the success?
A45200Was it that thy heart misgave thee thou mightest be called to account for Malchus?
A45200Was it the fear of Death?
A45200Was it to shew thy liberty in not always equally exercising the power of thy Deity?
A45200Was it to signifie that Lazarus his Soul was called from far; the speech must be loud that shall be heard in another world?
A45200Was it to teach us that in the distribution of our goods we should expect his blessing, not in their intireness and reservation?
A45200Was it to teach us that there is less danger in suffering then in outward prosperity?
A45200Was not Jerusalem the Spouse of Christ?
A45200Was not that Face fit to be spat upon, from the dreadfull aspect whereof ye are ready to desire the mountains to cover you?
A45200Was not that Hand fit for a Reed, whose iron Scepter crushes you to death?
A45200Was not that Head fit for your Thorns, which you now see crowned with Glory and Majesty?
A45200Was not this one of those Swords of Simeon, which should pierce through thy tender breast?
A45200Was not this( think we) out of similitude of condition?
A45200Was there ever people under Heaven that was made so famous a spectacle of misery and desolation?
A45200Was this measure fit to be offered to that Sacred Body that was conceived by the Holy Ghost of the pure substance of an immaculate Virgin?
A45200Was this to shew thy liberty, or thy power?
A45200We are as great sinners as the consorts of these Publicans, why should we despair of a room at thy Table?
A45200We can cast away admiration upon the poor devices or activities of men; how much more upon the extraordinary works of Omnipotency?
A45200We can soon be set, but whence shall we be served?
A45200We have still the same conduct: Let the path be what it will, how can we miscarry in the hand of a Father?
A45200We may rejoyce in others forwardness; but if we rest in it, how small joy shall it be to us, to see them go to Heaven without us?
A45200We see the birds of the air provided for by him; how rarely have we found any of them dead of hunger?
A45200Were there not ten cleansed?
A45200Were these the terms that you heard from that Sacred mouth?
A45200Were this example binding, who should be rich to give?

A45200What a self- conflicting and prodigious creature is a wicked man left over to his own thoughts?
A45200What a service was here to be brought into a Feast, especially to a Woman?

A45200What an unusual bearer is here?
A45200What are the monuments of thine Apostles and Evangelists, but the relations of the blind man''s guide, what and how thou hast wrought for us?

A45200Yet, as if the matter had been strange to him, he lifts up himself, and says, Woman, where are thy accusers?
A45200Yet, as not regarding their triumph, thou thus pourest out thy sorrow: and when so much is uttered, who can conceive what is felt?
A45200ad quid diligitis vanitatem,& quaeritis mendacium?
A45200and do they refuse thee for Barabbas?
A45200and do they say, Not him, but Barabbas?
A45200and do ye fear to be defiled with the touch of Pilate''s pavement?
A45200and do you stick at a locall infection?
A45200and dost thou now think to favour me with a reall opposition to this great and necessary work?
A45200and hadst oft said within thy self, Here I shall once lie down to my last rest, and wait for my Resurrection?
A45200and if I be risen with thee, why do I not seek the things above, where thou sittest at the right hand of God?
A45200and if he were the Son of God, how could he die?
A45200and if our life be a blessing, why should it not be celebrated?
A45200and if they be sure, why do they question that which they know decided?
A45200and laying all these together, with the miserable infirmities of his Passion, how wert thou crucified with him?
A45200and then, when, in stead of giving security, he receives with one hand and pays with another, receives our bequest and gives us glory?
A45200and to cast this aspersion on those whom God hath noted for holiness?
A45200and what is chastisement but a real chiding?
A45200and whereabouts rather then on the right side of the Altar?
A45200and wherefore then wouldst thou pass by them, as if thou hadst intended nothing but their dismay?
A45200and who could make the difference of Grace but he that gave it?
A45200and why should we expect that the love of our God shall yield to fore- lay any benefit to the Soul?
A45200and why this Angel?
A45200any thing beyond the sphere of Divine Omnipotence?
A45200but how few Martha''s?
A45200but if the uncultured Fallow yield more, how justly is that unanswerable ground near to a curse?
A45200but when we look down upon our sins and wickedness, how shall we express our shame?
A45200but where are the nine?
A45200but, How shall this be?
A45200but, What have I to doe with thee?
A45200but, Wilt thou that we command?
A45200can we suppose they would have cared more for the Sabbath then for the Lord of the Sabbath, who now kept his Sabbath in the Grave?
A45200canst thou regard them from whom thou willingly absentest thy self in their necessity?
A45200canst thou think to scape so?
A45200could there be ought more unfit?
A45200couldst thou not wake with me one hour?
A45200couldst thou think that those blear eyes of thine would endure the beams of the Sun, or that counterfeit slip, the fire?
A45200did not another of them deny thee, yea abjure thee?
A45200did not one of them rather leave his inmost coat behind him, then not be quit of thee?
A45200didst thou not rather send down water from thy compassionate eyes, and weep for them by whom thou must bleed?
A45200do I not hear the Evangelist say that Herod heard John gladly?
A45200do we hear thee preach to us?
A45200dost thou then shew favour to foul offenders?
A45200doth that clear fountain of mercy run bloud?
A45200from a Sacramental banquet,( the food of Angels) if we do not believe it will nourish our Souls?
A45200from our best Devotions, if we do not perswade our selves they will fetch down blessings?
A45200hath no man condemned thee?
A45200have we a Saviour there?
A45200he received a short answer, What is that to thee?
A45200here Ease: of the superfluity of your sinfull Humours?
A45200here Evacuation: of the impotency of your Obedience?
A45200here Integrity: of the dead witheredness of good Affections?
A45200here ye shall receive clearness of Sight: of the distemper of Passions?

A45200how could they be dismay''d to see his Body now sweat, which they had then seen to shine?

A45200how dost thou lose thy tears?
A45200how doth thine infinite pity take order to redress them?
A45200how dreadfull are thy Judgements?
A45200how fain would ye fight against God and your own hearts?
A45200how far transcending the ordinary course of nature?
A45200how fearfully, in respect of the awfulness of the Majesty of that throne, and that unworthiness which we bring with us into that dreadfull presence?
A45200how full of joyfull assurance, of spirituall consolation?
A45200how gladly would ye deceive your selves, in believing him to be a Deceiver whom your consciences knew to be no less true then powerfull?

A45200how many swords at once pierce thine?
A45200how marvellously dost thou contrive thine own affairs?
A45200how much care do I see every- where?
A45200how much more might he say so, when the Divine Son of that mother came to call for a favour from him?
A45200how oft by thy touch?
A45200how poor?
A45200how should he have done, how should he have suffered that which was satisfactory to his Father''s wrath?
A45200how should our hearts and mouths be full of it?
A45200how should we fear thy justice, since they of Children are Dogs?
A45200how should we instruct them without bitterness, and without violence of Passion expect the meet seasons of their better information?
A45200how should we lay open our deadness before thee, and bewray to thee our impotence and senselesness?
A45200how should we lift up our voice in the fervour of our supplications?

A45200or( since he could not conceive what an eye was) what must the beholders needs think, to see that hollowness thus filled up?

A45190And if the Plebeians will be stubborn or uncivil and respectless, where is Honour?
A45190And if the best of earth can not doe it, why will ye seek it in the worst?
A45190And if the very handkerchief which touched his Apostles had power of cure, how much more that Water which the sacred body of Christ touched?
A45190And if these two only Languages had been meant, why had it not been as easie to specifie them, as to intimate them by so large a circumlocution?
A45190And if they will not give, yet will they not lend to God?
A45190And if this terme were fit for my vileness, yet doth it become thy lips?
A45190And is the hand of our God shortned?
A45190And is this the state of these two Saints alone?
A45190And must we now be cast out of the bosome of the Church, and be presently delivered up to fire and sword?
A45190And now how am I conformable to thee, if when thou art risen I lie still in the grave of my Corruptions?
A45190And now how happily was that doubt bestowed, which brought forth so faithful a confession, My Lord, my God?
A45190And now what can remain, but the setting under of Vessels to receive the comfortable juice that shall flow from these so- well- husbanded clusters?
A45190And now what doth it but call me to the thought of my parting?
A45190And now what must be done?
A45190And now what variety think you is there of several kinds?
A45190And now, O blessed Jesu, how easily have carnal eyes all this while mistaken the passages and intentions of this thy last and most glorious work?
A45190And now, since we are thus and every other way one, why are we not united in Love?
A45190And now, what can the Flesh doe without the World, without the Devil?
A45190And of all fruits, what is comparable to that of the Vine?
A45190And shall we need to teach God how to frame his Church?
A45190And since that, in my Latine Sermon to the Convocation, did I very ought from this hold?
A45190And was it any better with the best Saints under the Gospel?
A45190And we, why do not we as heartily labour to reclaim them, as they to withdraw us?
A45190And were they not well served, think we?
A45190And what Face is it that pleaseth all?
A45190And what can hurt him that is blessed by Crosses, and is bettered by Sins?
A45190And what can now secure them?
A45190And what gives she?
A45190And what honour do we place in slaughter?
A45190And what if a mouse or other vermin should eat the Host?
A45190And what if the desire of more audibleness raised him to his feet?
A45190And what is that but fancies, mis- opinions, mis- judgment?
A45190And what man can love to perish?
A45190And what needed all this pageant of Cruelty?
A45190And what of that?
A45190And what other is our condition?
A45190And what shall I need to tell you how loathsomely deformed these fashions of the world make us to appear in the sight of God?
A45190And what was this other then a real Parable of thine?
A45190And what work was thine but the hospital receit of thy Saviour and his train?
A45190And when the score is struck off, what remains to pay?
A45190And whence are ye just?
A45190And wherefore doth this foul spirit urge a Text, but for imitation, for prevention, and for successe?
A45190And why are all other creatures said to praise God, and bidden to praise him, but because they do it by the apprehension, by the expression of man?
A45190And why are they thus troubled?
A45190And why do not we follow Peter in the same steps wherein Peter followed Christ, and Christ his Fore- runner, and his Fore- runner the Prophets?
A45190And why do not we learn wit and will of those that hate us?
A45190And why do we not still follow thee, O Saviour, through desarts and mountains, over land and seas, that we may be both healed and taught?
A45190And why dost not thou, O my Soul, help to bear thy part with that happy Quire of Heaven?
A45190And why mightest not thou, who madest all things, take liberty to destroy a plant for thine own Glory?
A45190And why not of Gold as well as of Grain?
A45190And why not rather by his own hand to the multitude, that so the Miracle and thank might have been more immediate?
A45190And why sent by him?
A45190And why should our garments be of any other colour?
A45190And why should the Christian Church have lesse power then the Jewish Synagogue?
A45190And why should we not doe that which we are made for?
A45190And why the Woman rather?
A45190And why these?
A45190And why this?
A45190And would it boot ought to spend time in perswading these Calves that they are such?
A45190And yet why should it more trouble me to see thee sinking under thy Crosse now, then to see thee anone hanging upon thy Crosse?
A45190And, which is the head of all, how hath he brought our Vine out of the Egypt of Popish Superstition, and planted it?
A45190Anointed?
A45190Applause of his abettors, contempt of the Scribes and Pharisees, ignorance of the multitude?
A45190Are any great Potentates of the earth secret or open persecutors of his Church?
A45190Are any of you Great ones Benefactors to his Church?
A45190Are not the Elements( the main stuffe of the world) contrary to each other in their forms and qualities?
A45190Are not these of them that could say, Master, the evil spirits are subdued to us?
A45190Are not these they that ejected Devils by their command?
A45190Are our Offerings more noted then our Sacriledges?
A45190Are there any of us pained with our heart of stone?
A45190Are there any of us weary of carrying our old Adam about us?
A45190Are there not twelve hours in the day, which are duely set and proceed regularly for the direction of all the motions and actions of men?
A45190Are these grapes for a God?
A45190Are these the fruits of his Choice, his Fencing, his Reforming, his Planting, his Watch- tower, his Winepresse?
A45190Are they bidden to adore a God which they know the baker made?
A45190Are they bidden to forswear their Allegiance, and to take armes against their Lawful and native Soveraign?
A45190Are they not sour and wilde Grapes that we have yielded?
A45190Are we afflicted?
A45190Are we lesse deep in the Sins of Israel then in Israel''s Blessings?
A45190Are we more orthodox, and shall not we be as charitable?
A45190Are we naturally timorous?
A45190Are we pinched with want?
A45190Are we therefore preserved from the malignity of these powers of darkness?
A45190Are ye godly, that care to know any thing rather then God and spiritual things?
A45190Are ye godly, that have neither ability nor will to serve that God whom ye fashionably pretend to know?
A45190Are ye not afraid he will wrest the Scepter out of Caesar''s hand?
A45190Are ye now also at rest, O ye Jewish Rulers?
A45190Art thou come to torment us before our time?
A45190Art thou rather pleased that grosse sins should be blanched, and sent away with a gentle connivency?
A45190Art thou the Pilot of the Churches peace, and talkest of nothing but glittering helmets, swords and spears, instruments of war& bloodshed?
A45190Art thou the Prophet of God that so disdainfully entertainest poor suppliants?
A45190As all sin is originally from the Devil, so especially Hypocrisie: he is the father of Lies; and what is Hypocrisie but a real Lie?
A45190As contrarily, what an uncomfortable thing is Darknesse?
A45190As for orall Traditions, what certainty can there be in them?
A45190As if that shameless man meant to outbrave all accusations, and to outface his own heart, he dares ask too, Master, is it I?
A45190As those friendly Souldiers therefore of old said to their fellows, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; why fight we?
A45190At tu, Domine, usque quò?
A45190At whose board did he ever sit, and left not his host a gainer?
A45190Aut nunquid de quadrupedibus hisce in Gallia stabulantibus dictum tibi pridem coelitus, Occide& Manduca?
A45190Because fools jear thee, dost thou forbear thy work?
A45190Before, the Devil had spoken singularly of himself, What have I to doe with thee?
A45190Behold the man; the man whom ye envied for his greatnesse, whom ye feared for his usurpation: Doth he not look like a King?
A45190Being thus acknowledged, what suit is so fit for him as mercy?
A45190Besides his own, what favour was he worthy of for his Masters sake?
A45190Besides this undervaluation, how unjust is the ground of this doubt?
A45190Besides, how injuriously dost thou take this woman for what she was?
A45190Besides, how uncertain must our Devotions needs be, when we can have no possible assurance of their audience?
A45190Blessed God, how marvelously dost thou contrive thine own affaires?
A45190Blessed Jesu, how thou pittiest the errors and infirmities of thy servants?
A45190Blessed Jesu, if as Man thou wouldst be made a little lower then the Angels; how can it disparage thee to be attended and cheared up by an Angel?
A45190Blessed Jesu, who are those?
A45190Both which cleared, what have I done?
A45190Brethren, since our Religion is one, why are not our tongues one?
A45190But all this can not deliver thee from the just blame of this bold subincusation; Lord, dost thou not care?
A45190But all this while what part hath the Moon in this mans misery?
A45190But art thou, O Saviour, ever the more discouraged by the derision and censure of these scornfull unbelievers?
A45190But besides the natural tone, have we not heard Birds taught so to imitate the voice of men, that they have received replies, as not distinguished?
A45190But did he say, No sin shall be remitted but what ye remit?
A45190But do we deale thus roughly with the followers of the Roman Religion?
A45190But do you not say, It is a true visible Church?
A45190But fearing the true reproach cast by Job in his friends teeth, Will ye speak wickedly for God, and talk deceitfully for him?
A45190But for us; tell me, ye that hear me this day, are ye Christians in earnest, or are ye not?
A45190But his domestical fare how simple, how homely it is?
A45190But how gladly doe we second the Angel in the praise of her, which was more ours then his?
A45190But how ill guests were these?
A45190But how is this renewing wrought, and wherein doth it consist?
A45190But how modestly dost thou discover thy Deity to thy Disciples?
A45190But if Herod were troubled,( as Tyranny is still suspicious) why was all Hierusalem troubled with him?
A45190But if Sexes be known by cloaths, what is become of Degrees?
A45190But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: when is that?
A45190But is it the name of Elias( O ye Zelots) which ye pretend for a colour of your impotent desire?
A45190But much more what is the light of that infinitely- resplendent Sun of Righteousnesse, who gave that light to the Sun, that Sun to the world?
A45190But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast?
A45190But now what a demonstration of power doth both the world and I see in thy glorious Resurrection?
A45190But oh, what a wofull thing it is to consider, and how may we bemone our selves to Heaven and earth, that yet men will not be transformed?
A45190But oh, what tongue of the highest Archangel of Heaven can express the welcome of thee the King of Glory into those Blessed Regions of Immortality?
A45190But say it had been what they mistook it for, a Spirit; why should they fear?
A45190But should these things be so?
A45190But to man, how ever favourable and indulgent wert thou?
A45190But to rise higher then a change: Is it not an act of Omnipotencie to create?
A45190But to what purpose is the fruitfulnesse, fencing, stoning, if the ground yield a plentifull crop of Briers, Thistles, Weeds?
A45190But to what purpose should it be fenced with stones without, if it be choked with stones within?
A45190But to whom dost thou make this moan, O thou Saviour of men?
A45190But what ailes you, O ye Rulers of Israel, that ye stand thus thronging at the door?
A45190But what an unpleasing and unseasonable subject am I fallen upon, to speak of Hell in a Christian Court, the embleme of Heaven?
A45190But what do I seek any other Author then the Lord of Life himself?
A45190But what is that one Faith?
A45190But what is this I hear?
A45190But what is this I see?
A45190But what is this to S. Paul''s Combat?
A45190But what need allegations to prove a yielded truth?
A45190But what of all this now?
A45190But what shall I say of so sharp and imperious an act from so meek an Agent?
A45190But what shall I say to you Courtiers, but even as Saint Paul to his Corinthians, Ye are full, ye are rich, ye are strong without us?
A45190But what shall I say( Honorable and Beloved?)
A45190But what shall we say to this thine early hunger?
A45190But what strange variety do I see in the spectators of his Miracle, some wondring, others censuring, a third sort tempting, a fourth applauding?
A45190But what strive we in this?
A45190But what was this other then to serve a prentiship in the house of bondage?
A45190But what would it avail the ground to be fruitfull, if it be unfenced, that the wilde Boar or the Foxes may spoil it?
A45190But what?
A45190But what?
A45190But when once they jarre and check each other, either jangling together, or striking preposterously, how harsh and unpleasing is that noise?
A45190But where am I?
A45190But where wert thou, O blessed Jesu, for the space of these three daies?
A45190But whither then?
A45190But who can tell whether that silence or this answer be more grievous?
A45190But whom do I see wondring?
A45190But whom have ye reproched and blasphemed?
A45190But why did he sigh?
A45190But why didst thou curse a poor tree for the want of that fruit which the season yielded not?
A45190But why didst thou not, O Centurion, rather bring thy Servant to Christ for cure, then sue for him absent?
A45190But why do I wonder to finde this unquiet disposition in a brute creature, when it is no news with the reasonable?
A45190But why fera arundinis, the beast of the reeds?
A45190But why should not Grace and Truth be as successfull in dilating it self to the gaining of many hearts?
A45190But why then, O Saviour, why didst thou thus inquire, thus expostulate?
A45190But why to them?
A45190But will not this seem to savour of too much indifferency?
A45190But withall let me adde onely one disswasive from the danger, implyed in the very word Save, for how are we saved but from a danger?
A45190But withall, where is it?
A45190But would they have the Priest shrieve himself to the penitent, as well as the penitent to the Priest?
A45190But you say, What is this but to play with ambiguities?
A45190But( as all motions have their termes) what is that into which we must be transformed?
A45190But, O Blessed Virgin, who can express the sorrows of thy perplexed Soul, when all that evening search could afford thee no news of thy Son Jesus?
A45190But, O Saviour, how doth this agree?
A45190But, O Saviour, may I presume to ask what this is to thee?
A45190But, O Saviour, whiles thou dignifiest them in thy grant, dost thou disparage thy self in thy denial?
A45190But, as c all beginnings are timorous, how d calmly did he enter?
A45190But, good Lord, how apt men are to raise or believe lies for their own advantage?
A45190By whose hands perished the Prophets?
A45190Can I bring him back again?
A45190Can I chuse but wonder how Peter could thus strike unwounded?
A45190Can a Leopard change his spots, or a Blackmore his skin?
A45190Can men be so sottish to think that the vowed enemie of their Souls can offer them a bait without an hook?
A45190Can neither the silence of Christ nor his deniall silence her?
A45190Can not he in whose hands are the issues of death, bring her back again?
A45190Can there be a better Law made for the restraint of too- too common Oathes?
A45190Can there be a greater sin then Idolatry?
A45190Can there be a greater sin then robbing of God?
A45190Can there be better Laws against wilful Recusancy, against Simony, against Sacriledge?
A45190Can there be here any danger of self- sacrificing with Sejanus, and not rather the just danger of our shame and confusion in our selves?
A45190Can there possibly be better Laws then have in our times been enacted against Drunkenness?
A45190Can they begin their will, In Dei nomine, Amen; and give nothing to God?
A45190Can we bequeath our Souls to Christ in Heaven, and give nothing to his Lims on earth?
A45190Can we blame him, when the free- hold of their Great Mistresse is so nearly touched?
A45190Can we marvel that Zacheus received Christ joyfully?
A45190Can we think him so in love with our persons, that he will overlook or digest our crimes?
A45190Can we, dare we impute ill husbandry to the God of Heaven?
A45190Can ye so converse with leud good fellows, as that ye represse their sins, redresse their exorbitances, win them to God?
A45190Canst thou be so injurious to me as to think I yield, because I want aid to resist?
A45190Canst thou be so weak as to imagine that this Suffering of mine is not free and voluntary?
A45190Canst thou distrust the certainty of that dreadfull menace of vengeance?
A45190Canst thou dream waking thus to avoid the charge of thy wives dream?
A45190Canst thou love those thou regardest not?
A45190Causam tu nostram age, ô Deus, imò tuam, tuam solius: Quidni te provocet arbitrum audax innocentia?
A45190Certainly, God made man upright, as in shape, so in disposition: What wrought this miserable Metamorphosis?
A45190Come down?
A45190Constituted?
A45190Could Joseph now chuse but think, Is this the King that must save Israel, that needs to be saved by me?
A45190Could she be in a safer place then before the Tribunal of a Saviour?
A45190Could there be a meaner?
A45190Could there be a more ignorant Paralogisme then this wherewith the foolish Jews beguiled themselves?
A45190Could there be a more just cause wherein to draw his sword then in thy quarrell?
A45190Could there be an affection more worth incouragement then the love to such a Master?
A45190Could thy fellows see such a demonstration of Power and Goodnesse with unrelenting hearts?
A45190Could we but speak for our selves, as this Captain did for his servant, what could we possibly want?
A45190Could ye suppose that I would condemn any man unheard?
A45190Couldst thou but( Oh that thou couldst) look within that veile, how shouldst thou be ravisht with that blissefull sight?
A45190Did David lose his right by the Rebellion of the people under his son Absalom?
A45190Did I flie upon thee otherwise then with my prayers and tears?
A45190Did I not cast the fault upon their violence, not our will?
A45190Did I not once before call thee Satan for suggesting to me this immunity from my Passion?
A45190Did I not there call heaven& earth to record of our innocence in separating from the Romane Church?
A45190Did I snarl or bark at thee, when I called thee the Son of David?
A45190Did John take the ear and heart of Herod, and doth Herod binde the hands and feet of John?
A45190Did ever any Ephesian beast bray out such another challenge?
A45190Did ever any man that ran for a prize, say, I will keep up with the rest?
A45190Did ever man doe thus to beast?
A45190Did he chuse you out of all the kingdomes of the earth, and do ye wilfully reject him?
A45190Did he empty himself of his Celestial Glory, and put on weak Manhood and all the symptoms of wretched Mortality; and do ye despise him for this Mercy?
A45190Did his Love make him humble, that his Humility should make him contemptible?
A45190Did not another of them deny thee, yea abjure thee?
A45190Did not one of them rather leave his inmost coat behind him, then not be quit of thee?
A45190Did or could ever any eye pity them?
A45190Did they not run from thee?
A45190Did we ever rage against the Popish Faith with fire and sword?
A45190Did ye not live( many of you) to see your City buried in ashes, and drowned in blood?
A45190Didst thou call for fire from Heaven upon them?
A45190Didst thou not see how easie it had been for me to have blown away these poor forces of my adversaries?
A45190Do I mistake it, or are those stones, not Flints and Pebbles, but Diamonds& Rubies and Carbuncles to set upon thy Crown of Glory?
A45190Do the enemies of the Church rage and snuffe, and breath nothing but threats and death?
A45190Do we finde our selves haunted with the familiar Devils of Pride, Self- love, Sensual desires, Unbelief?
A45190Do we groan on the bed of our sicknesse, and languishing in pain complain of long hours and weary sides?
A45190Do we not offer every day?
A45190Do we pray to thee?
A45190Do we think she spared her search?
A45190Do we think that Christ hath no Rebels but Jews?
A45190Do ye complain of the Blindness of your Ignorance?
A45190Do ye live willingly in your sins?
A45190Do ye long to be stained with blood, with the blood of God?
A45190Do ye not mark how this note is changed?
A45190Do ye not now see that he who made your heart, knows it, and anticipates your fond thoughts with the same breath?
A45190Do ye not remember that Absolom would go to pay his vow in Hebron?
A45190Do ye not see how awful, how submiss the Angels of Heaven are?
A45190Do ye pretend Holiness, and urge so injurious a violence?
A45190Do ye see a stigmatical Frier lashing himself to blood, wallowing in the snow naked, returning the lice into his bosome?
A45190Do ye see an apple fall untimely from the tree?
A45190Do ye see an illuminate Elder of the Anabaptists rapt in divine extasies?
A45190Do ye see the penances of the three super- mortified Orders of the Mahumetan Saints?
A45190Do ye think that S: Paul''s rule, Non in comessationibus& ebrietate, not in surfeiting and drunkennesse, was for work- days only?
A45190Do ye thus part with your no less meek then glorious King?
A45190Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unjust?
A45190Do ye thus requite the Lord, O ye foolish people and unjust?
A45190Do you hear his exception against St. Paul?
A45190Do you not yield some kinde of Communion with these clients of Antichrist?
A45190Do you see a griping Usurer build Schools and Hospitals with ten in the hundred?
A45190Do you see an Ananias and Sapphira making God their heir of their half- shared Patrimony?
A45190Do you think I may take your complaint for a crime?
A45190Dost thou ask of one, when thou art preased by many?
A45190Dost thou go about to hinder thine own and the whole worlds Redemption?
A45190Dost thou justifie the wicked?
A45190Dost thou know, Pilate, who we are?
A45190Dost thou take upon thee to prescribe unto that infinite Wisdome, in stead of receiving directions from him?
A45190Dost thou then shew favour to foul offenders?
A45190Doth Eliah cry out against the murders and Idolatries of Ahab?
A45190Doth God''s poor Church goe to wrack, whiles the ploughers ploughing on her back, make long furrows?
A45190Doth John Baptist bend his Non licet against Herodias''s incest?
A45190Doth Michaiah cross the designes of the false Prophets in the expedition of Ramoth?
A45190Doth he give in?
A45190Doth he not know that if he be not foremost, he loseth?
A45190Doth he not rather snatch this sword out of that impure hand,& beat Satan with the weapon which he abuseth?
A45190Doth he take upon him to make wine for the marriage- feast of Cana?
A45190Doth he take upon him to prepare a table for his Israel in the desart?
A45190Doth he thank that Servant because he did the things that were commanded him?
A45190Doth he wilfully imprison whom he gladly heard?
A45190Doth so small a gnat stick in your throats, whiles ye swallow such a Camel of flagitious wickednesse?
A45190Doth that clear fountain of mercy run blood?
A45190Doth this Holy man mean thus to quench our Feast, and cool our stomacks?
A45190Down, whither?
A45190Durst I have set my foot where he did?
A45190Eccui unquam capitale fuit hoc miserè hallucinantis conscientiae crimen?
A45190Elias did so; why not we?
A45190Enthronized?
A45190Ere he die?
A45190Ergo adeo stolidi opifices ab se fabrefieri Deos credunt?
A45190Euge, Petri umbra, numquid hi tibi Malchi videntur, quibus dum aures praecidere voluisti, levi errore in guttura incidisti?
A45190Even Pilate begins justly, What accusation bring you against this man?
A45190Even so, O Blessed Jesu, how ambitiously should we follow thee with the paces of Love and Faith, and aspire towards thy Glory?
A45190Even that had been a cruell mercy from him; for what evil hadst thou done?
A45190Even we men live not( Cameleon- like) with the aire of thanks, nor feed ere the fatter with praises; how much less our Maker?
A45190Even we weak men, what can we stick at where we love?
A45190Even when thou hast found us, how hardly do we follow thee?
A45190Ever Lepers will flock to their fellows: where shall we finde one spiritual Leper alone?
A45190Every day may we hear him in our streets, and yet be as new to seek as these Citizens of Jerusalem; Who is this?
A45190Every good gift and every perfect gift coming down from above, how can we look off from that place whence we receive all good?
A45190Faith and Prayer are no small pieces of Godliness; and what is it that God can doe, which Prayer and Faith can not doe?
A45190Faith comes by hearing, These are the tongues that must win the whole world to an assent; and dost thou the first man detrect to yield?
A45190Fear not?
A45190Fighting?
A45190Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde?
A45190First, there is the advantage of the Place chosen: where hath he setled his Vineyard but upon a very fruitfull Hill?
A45190For age so new, as that a Cornelius Agrippa, and b Polydore Virgil, and Machiavel( and who not?)
A45190For how should Christ both depart at Hierusalem, and stay in the Mount?
A45190For the Multitude, where is the man that makes true conscience of any the Laws of his God?
A45190For the former, He that saith a Thief is truly a man, doth he therein favour that Thief?

A45190Mark, I beseech you: He doth not say, What could have been done more then hath been done?
A45190Master, when shall these things be?
A45190Methinks I see how Zacheus startled at this, to hear the sound of his own name from the mouth of Christ: neither can he but think, Doth Jesus know me?
A45190Might she have chosen her refuge, whither should she rather have fled?
A45190Might that passe commendably from the pen or tongue of a Doctor, which will not be endured from the hand of a Bishop?
A45190Moisture, we know, glibs the tongue, and makes it apt to motion; how much more from that Sacred mouth?
A45190Must he then be a Malefactor whom ye will condemn?
A45190Must they not needs think, What should we doe with a dead man?
A45190Must we for this be thunder- strucken to Hell by your Anathemas, there to frie in perpetuall Torments?
A45190Nay, in this condition what could all the Angels of Heaven( as of themselves) doe to succour thee?
A45190Nay, what beast did ever thus to man?
A45190Neither be you troubled with that idle exprobration of a Prebendary retribution; who would care for a contumely so void of truth?
A45190Neither didst thou say, How think you if I goe?
A45190Neither doth he say, What could I have done more that I have not done?
A45190Neither doth she say, This can not be, nor, How can this be?
A45190Neither is it in this alone: what one act ever passed the hand of God, which Satan did not apishly attempt to second?
A45190Neither think to goe away with an idle misprision, We are a true visible Church, what need we more?
A45190Neither was it for nothing that the act and the man is doubted of and inquired into by the beholders; Is not this he that sat begging?
A45190Neither will they goe empty- handed?
A45190Never did God mean that his best Children should dwell alwayes upon earth: should they stay here, wherefore hath he provided Glory above?
A45190No doubt there were many that would not so much as leave their shop- board, and step to their doors or their windows, to say, Who is this?
A45190No fault, when we have found Crimes?
A45190No man will so much as say with the Jews, What have I done?
A45190None but those that are found in him are the happier by him: who but the Members are the better for the glory of the Head?
A45190None of them say, Sit down?
A45190None of thine but have sometimes cryed, How long, Lord?
A45190Not dead, but asleep?
A45190Not for the pleasure of the dishes; what was that to him, who began his work in a whole Lent of dayes?
A45190Not mine to give?
A45190Not need?

A45190Why am I not more desirous to be unclothed of this body, that I may be clothed upon with Immortality?
A45190Why are the Sisters sorrowful?
A45190Why are we not more joyed in this then dejected with the other?

A45190Why are we weary to doe good, when our Saviour underwent this perpetuall toyle in healing bodies and winning Souls?
A45190Why art thou troubled( O Herod?)
A45190Why did Herod fear the people?
A45190Why did Satan carry up Christ so high, but on purpose that his fall might be the more deadly?

A45190Why do not we spend the whole quiver of Gods threatned vengeance upon wilful sinners?
A45190Why do we not fear the denial, the exclusion of the Almighty?
A45190Why do we not then say, I will be yet more vile for the Lord?
A45190Why do we therefore bend our eyes on the means, and not look up to the hand that gives the blessing?
A45190Why do we wrong our selves with the contradistinction of Protestant and Catholick?
A45190Why doe I not thus to my God?
A45190Why doth the same Hebrew word signifie a Beast, and a Company?
A45190Why else doth our good God send us pain, losses, opposition, but that he may be sought to?

A45190Why is this earth and ashes proud?

A45190Why may not Abraham sue for an Ismael?
A45190Why may not our favours be freely dispensed where we like best, without envie, without prejudice?

A45190Why should we be proud of that which may slacken our way to Glory?
A45190Why should we be transported with the outward glory of places, whiles our God regards it not?
A45190Why should we grudge not to be privileged, when we see there is no spare of the greatest?
A45190Why should you then say, I will be no holier?
A45190Why shouldst thou give me, O God, that which I care not to ask?
A45190Why then did they fall upon this suit in a time of their losse?
A45190Why then is the Mind thus specified?

A45190Why( said Socrates) art thou proud of that which is no part of the earth?
A45190Why, Mary, could not thine Omnipotent Saviour as well in absence have commanded Lazarus to live?
A45190Will he feast his Auditors in the wilderness?
A45190Will it not therefore hence follow, that the common sort of Christians need not look at his Traditions?
A45190Will makes the difference; but who makes the difference of wills but he that made them?
A45190Will these men be wiser then the wisedome of his Father?
A45190Will they put out to any but God?

A45190Without blows there can be no victory, no triumph: How had thy power been manifested, if no adversary had tried thee?
A45190Woe is me, how are thy joynts and sinews torn, and stretched till they crack again, by this torturing distension?
A45190Woe is me, how is the World turned Beast?
A45190Woe is me, how many fashionable ones are not so much as pained with their sins?
A45190Woe is me, what a word is this for the Son of God?
A45190Woe is me, what safety can there be for Innocence, when the evidence is wilfully corrupted?
A45190Woe to you Priests, Scribes, Elders, Hypocrites; can there be any roof so unclean as that of your own breasts?
A45190Would any of us that are thus born Naturals( to God) be wise to Salvation?
A45190Would men take up with good words, with good desires, and quit our bonds for thanks, who would be a debter?
A45190Would my heart have served me to dare the doing of this that Peter did?
A45190Would we be cured?
A45190Would we then throughly quit our selves of our froward Generation?

A45190Would ye wish a Finer King?
A45190Would you be free from this hellish tyranny?
A45190Would you think that Saint Luke hath given me the division of this, whether Text, or Sermon of Saint Peter?
A45190Wouldst thou have thy sons preferred to the Father of the faithfull, to the blessed Mother of thy Saviour?
A45190Ye undervalue your Master, O ye well- meaning Followers of Christ: A Prophet?
A45190Yea how didst thou( O Saviour) by whom Augustus reigned, in the Womb of thy Mother yield this homage to Augustus?
A45190Yea how many that have hardly crawled out from a desperate shipwrack, will yet be trying the fidelity of that unsure and untrusty Element?
A45190Yea what is the World but a composition of atomes?
A45190Yea( which is yet more) how plain is it that these men forced their tongue to speak this slander against their own heart?
A45190Yea, Lord, what have I but two mites, a Soul, and a Body?
A45190Yea, O blessed Saviour, how glorious was it for thee, how happy for us, that thou wert tempted?
A45190Yea, what speak I of these Puppets?
A45190Yet as not regarding their triumph, thou thus powrest out thy sorrow: and when so much is uttered, who can conceive what is felt?
A45190Yet how doth Herod dote on her, that for her sake he loads John with irons?
A45190Yet it doth not alwaies follow, If he sleep, he shall doe well: How many have dyed in Lethargies?
A45190Yet more Hypocrisie?
A45190Yet they dare not but begin with leave, Master, wilt thou?
A45190Yet what a painfull wound hath it given me?
A45190Yet what a sensible mixture is here of Faith& Distrust?
A45190Yet what a thing is this, to hear the Devil at his prayers?
A45190Yet, alas, what can earthly advancement make us other then we are, dust and ashes; which the higher it is blown, the more it is scattered?
A45190Yet, as if the matter had been strange to him, he lifts up himself, and saies, Woman, where are thy accusers?
A45190Zachary and Elizabeth are just, both of Aarons blood, and John Baptist of theirs: whence should an holy seed spring if not of the Loyns of Levi?
A45190a Play if you will: What speak you of weeping for sins?
A45190a To whom will ye liken God?
A45190a grievous burden I confess, and that which is able to weigh us down to Hell: do we groan under the load, and long to be eased?
A45190ad quid diligitis vanitatem,& quaeritis mendacium?
A45190and against whom have ye exalted your voice, and lift up your eyes on high?
A45190and do they refuse thee for Barabbas?
A45190and do they say, Not him, but Barabbas?
A45190and do ye fear to be defiled with the touch of Pilate''s pavement?
A45190and dost thou now think to favour me with a reall opposition to this great and necessary work?
A45190and dost thou say, My Dove, my undefiled?
A45190and ere morning, when I have wearied my restlesse bed, how glad am I to rise and renew my labour?
A45190and hadst oft said within thy self, Here I shall once lye down to my last rest, and wait for my Resurrection?
A45190and how exalted with desire and hope of his own speed?
A45190and how well will it become us to follow so pious, so gracious an example?
A45190and if I be risen with thee, why do I not seek the things above, where thou sittest at the right hand of God?
A45190and if he had not seen it useful, why did he not then spare the labour and cost of so needless an element?
A45190and if he were the Son of God, how could he die?
A45190and if our life be a blessing, why should it not be celebrated?
A45190and if they be sure, why do they question that which they know decided?
A45190and laying all these together, with the miserable infirmities of his Passion, how wert thou crucified with him?
A45190and straight, Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garment like him that treadeth in the wine- press?
A45190and then, when in stead of giving security, he receives with one hand and payes with another, receives our bequest and gives us glory?
A45190and those are remitted: For God''s elect?
A45190and to cast this aspersion on those whom God hath noted for holiness?
A45190and what Witch could this be but the old Circe of the world, Sensuality?
A45190and what is chastisement but a reall chiding?
A45190and what other is our honest Sincerity, then those gracefull proportions and colours which make us appear lovely in the eyes of God?
A45190and what reeling and staggering in our streets?
A45190and when we have it, what a poor puffe is this?
A45190and whereabout rather then on the right side of the Altar?
A45190and wherefore serves that glorious Guard of Angels, which have by Divine Commission taken upon them the charge of thine Humanity?
A45190and wherefore then wouldest thou passe by them, as if thou hadst intended nothing but their dismay?
A45190and who can willingly part from what he loves?
A45190and who could make the difference of Grace but he that gave it?
A45190and why should we exspect that the love of our God shall yield to forelay any benefit to the Soul?
A45190and why this Angel?
A45190and with what inexspectable, unconceivable mercy were they answered?
A45190and with what submiss Supplications did he sue for redress?
A45190and yet how adored every where?
A45190any thing beyond the sphere of Divine Omnipotence?
A45190are your lives filthy?
A45190as, indeed, how wonderfull is his Wisdome and Goodness in all his purveiances?
A45190at what distance doth he see us?
A45190but among all deaths in crucifying?
A45190but how?
A45190but if the uncultured fallow yield more, how justly is that unanswerable ground near to a curse?
A45190but that in all these we should still daily re- acknowledge our new obligations to the giver?
A45190but what a nothing is the possession of a Subject?
A45190but when we look down upon our sins and wickedness, how shall we expresse our shame?
A45190but where are the nine?
A45190but, How shall this be?
A45190but, Is it lawful?
A45190but, What have I to doe with thee?
A45190but, Wilt thou that we command?
A45190but, more, that I have not done?
A45190by Creation: and how is he created?
A45190can we suppose they would have cared more for the Sabbath then for the Lord of the Sabbath, who now kept his Sabbath in the Grave?
A45190canst thou regard them from whom thou willingly absentest thy self in their necessity?
A45190canst thou think to escape so?
A45190care ye not for your Souls?
A45190could there be ought more unfit?
A45190couldst thou not wake with me one hour?
A45190couldst thou think that those blear eyes of thine would indure the beams of the Sun, or that counterfeit slip, the fire?
A45190didst thou not rather send down water from thy compassionate eyes, and weep for them by whom thou must bleed?
A45190do I not hear the Evangelist say that Herod heard John gladly?
A45190do they not know that Hypocrites, leud persons, Reprobates, are no less members of the true visible Church?
A45190do we hear thee preach to us?
A45190do we think thus to shake off the yoak of Christ?
A45190do ye thus requite the Lord?
A45190dost thou challenge the Lord of Heaven and earth of incogitancy and neglect?
A45190dost thou feather the Raven with the wings of the Dove?
A45190doth he give out?
A45190e We have all therefore, Brethren, received of his fulness; of the fulness of his Mercy, of the abundance of his Goodness have we received: What?
A45190even with the long white robes which are the justifications of Saints?
A45190eyes full of lust, itching ears, scurrilous tongues, bloody hands, hearts full of wickedness, and yet dead?
A45190f If thou shalt mark the iniquities even of thine Elect, saith S. Bernard, Who shall abide it?
A45190for who can know that a Saint hears him?
A45190from a Sacramental banquet( the food of Angels) if we do not believe it will nourish our Souls?
A45190from our best Devotions, if we do not perswade our selves they will fetch down blessings?
A45190gratuita sunt, Why do we spare thanks that cost us nothing?
A45190h Who shall lay anything to the charge of Gods Elect?
A45190had we been also surprized in those acts, where had we been?
A45190hath it raised us up from the grave of our sins, ejected our hellish corruptions, changed our wicked natures, new created our hearts?
A45190hath no man condemned thee?
A45190have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
A45190have we a Saviour there, or have we none?
A45190he received a short answer, What is that to thee?
A45190here Ease: of the superfluity of your sinful Humors?
A45190here Evacuation: of the impotency of your Obedience?
A45190here Integrity: of the Dead witheredness of good Affections?
A45190here ye shall receive clearness of Sight: of the distemper of Passions?
A45190how are their hearts broken with losses?
A45190how are their sins dead in them, in whom they stir, reign, flourish?
A45190how are they eluded by fraudulent evasions?
A45190how are we feasted, yea pampered with thy celestial delicacies?
A45190how can we prosper if he bless us not?
A45190how careful so to moderate out power in the use of lawful things, that our Charity may prevent others scandals?
A45190how chearfull a Spring in his return?
A45190how common a thing it is, by the interposition of the throng of the world to be kept from the sight of our Jesus?
A45190how could they be daunted to see him now accosted with Judas and his train, whom they then saw attended with Moses and Elias?
A45190how could they be dismai''d to see his body now sweat, which they had then seen to shine?
A45190how could they fear to die, that saw in others the happiness of their own change?
A45190how dare we thrust our selves into actions either perilous or important, without ever lifting up our eyes and hearts unto the God of Heaven?
A45190how do we either smile or blush in our mature age, to think of the humours and actions of our youth?
A45190how doe I stand amazed at this, above all other the demonstrations of thy Goodnesse and Power?
A45190how doth bribery and corruption smother these offences, as if the sins of men served only to inrich covetous Officers?
A45190how doth she now again in her heart renew her answer to the Angel, Behold the servant of the Lord, be it according to thy word?
A45190how dreadful are thy Judgements?
A45190how easily doth our sight deceive us?
A45190how fain would ye fight against God, and your own hearts?
A45190how fearfully, in respect of the awfulness of the Majesty of that throne, and that unworthiness which we bring with us into that dreadfull presence?
A45190how happy shall I be in thine acceptation?
A45190how he, whose first blow made the fray, could escape hewing in pieces from that band of Ruffians?
A45190how insensible of their Saviour''s?
A45190how irrefragable is thy rising made by these bootless endeavours of their prevention?
A45190how little list should I have to ● ● ke musick to thee or my self?
A45190how long shall I suffer you?

A45190how should we lay open our deadness before thee, and bewray to thee our impotence and senselesness?
A45190how should we lift up our voice in the fervour of our supplications?
A45190how well is thy house- room repai''d with a mansion not made with hands, eternall in the heavens?
A45190how well worthy of an Herod''s table?
A45190how windy, how unsatisfying?
A45190if I suffer not, what would become of thee?
A45190if infinite, how could it be limited to place, or hindered by distance?
A45190if the first improvement of his tongue were the praise of the giver, of the maker of it?
A45190if we share in the work, why should we not take part of the wages?
A45190if ye could run away from God, it were somewhat; but whiles ye move in him; what doe ye?
A45190in regard of virtue issuing from him, never said, Whom have I touched?
A45190is he not royally dressed?
A45190is it so rare a thing for the Son to be heard, that he pours out his thanks for it as a blessing unusual?
A45190is the Lamb of God turned Lion?
A45190is there not an Hell that gapes for your stubborn impenitence?
A45190let them hear from us, What saiest thou?
A45190man, whose breath is in his nostrils, whose house is clay, whose foundation is the dust?
A45190must the whole house ring of it before my Lord and all his Disciples?
A45190nay, did ever one beast doe thus to another?
A45190nay, where is there any other?
A45190no fault at all, when we have condemned him for capital offences?
A45190not a Soul caught?
A45190now it is tether''d up short by that Almighty hand, what can we fear?
A45190of their own children, or of strangers?
A45190of their own, or of strangers?
A45190of whom dost thou complain, but of thy best friend?
A45190or condemn that reall Friendship that arises from debate?
A45190or didst thou suffer other occasions to detain thee from this happiness?
A45190or do ye sing that old Pelagian note, Quid nunc mihi opus est Deo?
A45190or doth his loathing stomack make a difference betwixt an earthen and silver dish?
A45190or how must he flie, to save himself out of that Land which he comes to save?
A45190or raise up your hair with the report of those Spanish Cruelties which were exercised upon our men in the Indies during the late warre?
A45190or that thine acceptance of our Charity was confined to the earth?
A45190or to have bidden the Earth to receive them alive whom she meant to swallow dead?
A45190or was it for confirmation of the Miracle?

A45190or with Saint Peter''s Auditors, What shall I doe?
A45190or( since he could not conceive what an eye was) what must the beholders needs think, to see that hollowness thus filled up?
A45190or, No sin shall be remitted by you but what is particularly numbred unto you?
A45190qui suum pro te ac magno Parente tuo lubentissime prodegerunt?
A45190say you; wherein differ they from their neighbours, unlesse it be perhaps in better fare?
A45190shall he not mightily protect it?
A45190shall our borrowed Beauty blemish the whiles thine infinite Justice?
A45190shall we taint thee to clear our selves?
A45190shall ye live here always?
