A45558	What a shame is it that the sowrest fruit should grow upon the uppermost boughs, and the worst Scholars be in the highest forms?
A45558	What filthiness is in her skirts, I mean her Suburbs, where all manner of sin is acted with a brazen forehead?
A45558	and when, if not now on this day of our publick assembling?
A45558	for whom should prayer be made if not for our English Jerusalem?
A45558	he maketh men to be of one mind in one house; Is the peace broken, he healeth the breaches: Is it made?
A45558	saith an Ancient sweetly; What better than peace, under which Honesty thriveth, and Piety flourisheth?
A45558	what should we pray for if not for her peace and good?
A45558	who should pray for it or seek after it if not we?
A45558	wilt thou have me account them to be her Citizens, who yet own not her as their City, so as to seek her welfare?
A45546	2 What it is that is required?
A45546	And now worthy Sir, what bitter counsell could I prescribe you then this of Faith?
A45546	But by whom is it that Abraham was tryed?
A45546	But for what end, may some say, doth God tempt and try his peoole?
A45546	But how and by what meanes doth God try his servants?
A45546	But what need is there that God should for these ends try his servants?
A45546	Doth the God of mercie delight in cruelty, and piety it self command murther?
A45546	How shall I look Sarah in the fa ● e when I have slain her son?
A45546	How will the Heathens censure this holy cruelty, and say, there goes the man who cut the throat of his own childe?
A45546	I deny not but even Heathens have sacrificed themselves and their children unto death, but upon what grounds?
A45546	Is this the welcome thy return''d Natives have O England?
A45546	Shall these hands destroy the fruit of my loyns?
A45546	WHo slew all these?
A45546	What did he not know before who is Omniscient?
A45546	What though the world accuse me of cruelty, yet thou requirest it as a duty?
A45546	What, Lord, are thy decrees changable, or thy promise failable?
A45546	What, Lord?
A45546	When from strange Climates to their own they come Has''t no home for them, but their longest Home?
A45546	When he laments his Beauty so soon gone, Doth he not Weep for his Dead Absolom?
A45546	When he recounts the Wisdome of his Sonne, And Sighs, sighs he not for his Solomon?
A45546	When to thy long''d for Soile thy Sonnes return, Canst finde no lodging for them, but their Urn ●?
A45546	Who slew all these then?
A45546	Who slew all these?
A45546	Why did I so long wayt for him?
A45546	Why didst thou at last bestow him, if I must now part with him?
A45546	better shee call me a bloudy husband, then thou an undutifull servant?
A45546	eng Rushout, John, d. 1648?
A45546	entertainment in a grave?
A45546	how can these two stand together, Isaac shall be a father of many nations, and yet he must dye by his fathers hands?
A45546	is it to have him taken away by death, through some visitation of Gods hand?
A45546	is it to part with him and not see his face for some yeares?
A45546	is it to send him a far off into some strange Country?
A45546	must I that was the instrument of his life, become the means of his death ▪ Can not I be faithfull unto thee, unlesse I be unnaturall to my childe?
A45546	or if thou wilt needs have an humane sacrifice, is none but Isaac fit for thine Altar, and must none offer him but Abraham?
A45546	what fruit is to be expected from a dry root, or what hopes can there be in a dead Isaac?
A45546	why didst thou make me a father, if now I must become a murtherer of my childe?
A45546	will justice require the slaughter of an innocent, and canst thou in equity desire the bloud of the guiltlesse?
A45546	woman, what have I to do with thee?
A45562	Am not I better to thee then ten sons, said Elkanah to Hannah?
A45562	And if so, Why is this inserted in his petition?
A45562	And now, what better, fitter, fuller prayer can be made for you by us or by your self, then that which here in effect Jacob maketh for himself?
A45562	And this Jacob well knew, else what need of this prayer?
A45562	And why all these expressions, but to intimate Gods near, speciall, and gracious presence with his people?
A45562	And why this?
A45562	As if he should have said, What?
A45562	For what way can be rugged to her, whilest he vouchsafes to be her companion?
A45562	If it shall be enquired, How God keepeth his servants in the way they go?
A45562	If you shall yet more particularly enquire why the servants of God may and do bind themselves to bounden duties?
A45562	Indeed this was that calumny which the Devil would have fastened upon Job, when he saith, Doth Job fear God for nought?
A45562	Indeed, which way can a man go wherein he may not be endangered, and therefore needs to be preserved?
A45562	It is a pretty story of him, who saying That his Father, Grandfather, and great Grandfather died at sea; and being asked, Why then do you go to sea?
A45562	It may be here enquired, Whether Jacob had not provision of bread and rayment already with him?
A45562	It may here be enquired, what need Jacob trouble himself ▪ to pray for that which God had already promised?
A45562	Let me then bespeak you in those words of God to Baruch, Seekest thou great things for thy self?
A45562	Quid enim difficile sibi illo comite reputet?
A45562	Replied, Where did your Father, Grandfather, and great Grandfather die?
A45562	The Lord keepeth the feet of his Saints; So runs the Song of Hannah: where if the question be asked why the feet are mentioned?
A45562	Vides equum benè ● ormitum, bonis viribus, magno cursu praeditum?
A45562	What the Devil said of Job, Hast thou not made an hedge about him?
A45562	Will the Lord be so exceeding gracious to me, and shall not I be more than ordinarily grateful unto him?
A45562	and being answered, In their beds; wittily retorted, Why then do you go to bed?
A45562	his word being passed the performance is sure; to what end should Jacob pray?
A45562	is it thus?
A45562	know we not that riches and honours are things too great for our bodies, and too little for our minds?
A45562	with which agrees that of Saint Paul to the Chief Captain,{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}, may I speak unto thee?
A87093	A Christian but to Christ who hath delivered him from the slavery and captivity of sin?
A87093	A slave but to him that bought him?
A87093	And may not Christ take up the same complaint of us?
A87093	And now my brethren, would you on the one hand ▪ see the reason why you are so fearfull of death?
A87093	Art not thou nourished by food, and refreshed by sleep as we are?
A87093	But what a folly, nay madnesse is it, for men to expect to reap what they doe not sow?
A87093	But, is he thy friend, and dost thou envy him his happiness?
A87093	But, my brethren, which of us can excuse our selves from living to some one or other of these lusts?
A87093	Did ever childe cry when his Fathers man came to fetch him home?
A87093	Doth not the ambitious man say, To me to live is honour?
A87093	He is thy friend, and death is his benefit: and shall the benefit of another, especially of thy friend, be thy sorrow?
A87093	How truly might our blessed Saviour say, whilest on earth; yea, now he is in heaven, To me to live is man?
A87093	Indeed, Christ is the Christians All in all estares ▪ as David said concerning God, Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A87093	Indeed, what was there from first to last which had not a reference to us?
A87093	Indeed, when we see one falling in his full strength, snatched away in the prime of his dayes, have we not reason to watch?
A87093	Let the gain of death moderate our sorrow for our friends who sleep in Iesus: Why should we be troubled for them who are at rest?
A87093	Let us say in this, Lord, to whom should we live?
A87093	The covetous, To me to live is wealth?
A87093	The envious, To me to live is revenge?
A87093	The voluptuous, To me to live is pleasure?
A87093	This life, what is it but a going to death?
A87093	Thou wilt say perhaps, It is my friend, my dearly beloved friend who is dead, and can I choose but mourn?
A87093	What is it we are to publish but the Gospel of Christ?
A87093	Whom should a captive live to, but him that ransomed him?
A87093	Why are we clad in black for them who walk in white?
A87093	and death, what is it but a going to life?
A87093	and so many tears flow from our eyes for them who have all tears wiped from theirs?
A87093	and there is none on earth I desire in comparison of thee: so saith a Christian in this case concerning Christ, Whom have I in death but thee?
A87093	by death we gain glory, and shall we not glory over death?
A87093	dost thou dearly love him, and yet grieve at his welfare?
A87093	for our earthly comforts to be taken from us, when heavenly joyes are conferred on us?
A87093	for the standing- pools to be dry so long as we may drink at the fountain?
A87093	if the first fruits be desirable, what is the full crop?
A87093	if we should not live to Christ, who should?
A87093	sit down in sorrow for them who are entred into joy?
A87093	to sow to the flesh, and to the world, and yet reap by Christ the gaine of everlasting life after death?
A87093	we are the soldiers of Jesus Christ( according to S. Pauls character of Timothy) and whose commands should we observe if not his?
A87093	where is the man can truly say ▪ To me to live is Christ?
A87093	where shall we finde him?
A87093	would you have comfort in, and gaine after death?
A45570	And thus I have shewed you Wisdome in the abstract, whence and what she is, but alas where shall we finde it in the concrete?
A45570	But how could they be assured this Starre was Christs?
A45570	But though Herod were troubled( as Tyra ● ● ie is ever suspicious, and Guilt jealous yee why Jerusalem?
A45570	Charity towards the poor, then this, what more commendable?
A45570	Dissembling Herod, hew grosse was thy Lie, odious thy Hypocrisie, and divellish thy deceit?
A45570	Execution of justice on offenders, then this, what work more acceptable to God and good men?
A45570	Finally, Will you see murder the extremity of malice, and bloudshed the height of oppression, washed over with a zealous paint?
A45570	Hast thou been preserved from the inchantments of seditious Korahs?
A45570	How oft hath Ambition caught hold of Religion, and made it a stirrup whereby to mount into the saddle of honour?
A45570	How often have you seen a leaden Cisterne convey pleasant water, an iron key open a golden Treasury, and choice fruit served up in a woodden platter?

A45570	It is our Apostles question at the thirteenth verse of this chapter, Who is a wise man, and indued with knowledge among you?

A45570	May not God take up the same complaint against the Inhabitants of this land?
A45570	No doubt in his heart he conceived him a King, else why so perplexed at the newes of his birth?
A45570	Piety towards God, then this, what more amiable?
A45570	Quam caeca ferit as, quae credebat quod deprehendere dominum fraudibus posset?
A45570	Quis, who?
A45570	Salus populi, the publique good, then that, what more fit to be indeavoured?
A45570	Subtilty would have taught him not at all to have sent them, but others, why did he not imploy his owne Courtiers, rather then trust strangers?
A45570	That I may come and worship him, who could have said better?
A45570	These were his words, but what was his aime?
A45570	Was there ever humility like this?
A45570	What policy more plaine and common then to strike before we speak, and seize on an Enemy unawares?
A45570	What purity can be expected from them whose hands are defiled with blood?
A45570	What sin hath not been masked with Religion?
A45570	Where( might they well imagine) was it more likely to finde the Jewes King, then in the Royall City?
A45570	Who more forward then Absalom to heare causes, doe the people right?
A45570	Will you see Rebellion weare the livery of Religion?
A45570	Will you see revenge in a religious habit?
A45570	and by its appearing conclude his comming?
A45570	and what part of Religion hath not been used as a cover for sinne?
A45570	but his intention was thereby to thrust his Father from his throne: Finally, who more zealous then the Pharisees in good duties?
A45570	he that made us, how little is he made for us?
A45570	or if not so, why did he not, together with them, send messengers of his owne, of whose fidelity to his designe, he might have assured confidence?
A45570	what could the wise men desire more?
A45570	why did he not rather prevent their journey, then hazard his own disappointment?
A45570	why so jealous of the losse of his Crowne?
A70325	And If a mercy in it selfe, yet how a mercy to him?
A70325	And can it be a favour for a man to continue long in a place of miseries?
A70325	Art thou recovered?
A70325	Art thou sick?
A70325	Art thou wicked?
A70325	But how can we except God should grant that to us, which we deny to others?
A70325	But it is further inquired, though this recoverie were a mercy in it selfe, yet how could it be so to Epaphroditus a godly man?
A70325	Can I heare any more the voice of singing men, and singing women?
A70325	Can musick, or any other pleasures then delight him, when he is a burthen to himselfe?
A70325	Finally, if the health of the body be a favour, how choice a benefit is the soules health?
A70325	Finally, to be kept out of a Palace, and confined to a Prison?
A70325	Finally, who is it that commands a blessing upon, and giveth successe to the meanes, but the God of Power?
A70325	For, tell me, when any are recovered, who is it that put the medicinall quality into the drugs which heale them, but the God of Nature?
A70325	I end this, If deliverance from death be a mercy, how great a mercy is deliverance from hell?
A70325	If it be a blessing to have the danger of a mortall disease prevented, Oh what is it to have the guilt of our deadly sinnes pardoned?
A70325	If we call our selves Christians, whom should we imitate but Christ, by performing all offices of love to the sick ▪ which lye within our Spheare?
A70325	Indeed what fitter Prooemium to a gratulatorie Sermon than a Benedictus?

A70325	One to which all are subject, quis non aegrotat in hac vitâ?
A70325	Surely one man is of more worth then many Asses; and shall we not, in what we may, succour him when fallen into some grievous sicknesse?

A70325	That bed must needs be easie which God maketh, nor can he faint, whom God strengtheneth, but to whom is it made?
A70325	To close up this, life continued, health restored, are mercies; oh let not us by abusing them to sinne turne them into judgement, who can believe it?
A70325	What sayest thou to this, oh hereticall Manich ● e?
A70325	What vertue could there be in the waters of Jordan to cleanse Naamans leprosie?

A45542	2 What a prevailing motive ought this to be against all sin, especially Idolatry?
A45542	And now if any aske when, or how this was verified?
A45542	But in what posture is the people?
A45542	But is there not yet a secret veine inwardly bleeding, and though the bloudy issue be stopt, are we not still sick of a Consumption?
A45542	But to come neerer to these days: Is not the Bound still removed in Families, City, Countrey, yea, the whole Kingdom?
A45542	But was this only the Princes fault?
A45542	But what is the offence that these great Delinquents are charged withall?
A45542	But what, may some say, is oppression no sin?
A45542	Consider, I beseech you, is not God as a moth to many Countries, by the quartering of an Army, who, though friends yet are wasting?
A45542	Divine wrath is not lessened, but augmented by opposition: so true is that of the Psalmist, Who may stand in thy sight when thou art angry?
A45542	Fidem ● e servare Deo levius quàm homini?
A45542	For the sheep, then to wander through every pasture since it will quickly be devoured of the Wolves?
A45542	How much better had it been for me to have climbed the ropes, then sate at the stern?
A45542	I end this with one short consectary, if it be a sin with an Anathema to remove our neighbours, what is it to alienate the Churches bounds?
A45542	Is hee not as a worme to the Church ▪ in the impayring and with- holding of our Ministers mayntenance?
A45542	Is it a more veniall offence to breake faith with God then man?
A45542	Is it an offence worthy of punishment to abuse the Sonne of a King, and is it lesse to dishonour the Sonne of God?
A45542	Quid deest omnia possi ● entibus?
A45542	Remember I beseech you, you are within the bounds of a Covenant; for what?
A45542	Say then to thy selfe; as Caesar did, Méne servare ut sint qui me perdant?
A45542	Say to your selves, O ye Princes of the earth, with Nehemiah, Shall such an o ● e as I flie?
A45542	Shall I hug a snake in my bosome, to poyson me?
A45542	Shall I sigh out my sad thoughts in that patheticall complaint of Vincentius Lyrenensis?
A45542	Shall I who am most obliged to God by the bonds of wealth and power, exceed the bounds of truth and justice?
A45542	Shall other Sciences have a portion, and must Divinity be put off only with her beauty?
A45542	Shall wee reflect upon the former times?
A45542	That when we were unnaturally tearing each other in peeces, a third party came not to devoure us both, what was it but his mercie?
A45542	To have been confined to a cottage, then inherited a palace?
A45542	Vir bonus est qui ●?

A45542	is he not as a worme to the Kingdome, in our renewed Taxations, which though just, yet are impoverishing?
A45542	nourish Wolves young ones, to teare me?
A45542	or can the p ● re God be the author of sin?
A45542	shall I imbrace that in my soule which will be a worm to gnaw my conscience, and a moth to devoure my estate?
A45542	shall I whom God hath honoured so much, dishonour him by oaths so greatly?
A45542	shall they who rob your houses be condemned, and those that rob your souls escape?
A45542	the illegall introductions of superstitious Ceremonies, Tables removed, Crucifixes erected, Adoration towards Altars practised?
A45542	up and be doing, take away the accursed ● ● ● ours from among you?
A45542	what else meant the open allowance of Sabbath prophanation, the manifest connivance at preaching, nay printing Arminian, yea Popish doctrines?
A45542	what more violent?

A45542	why do you ransack the whole world?
A87104	And may they not as truly be charged upon us?
A87104	And now what more fit?
A87104	And shall we our selves practice that towards God which we would abhorr and condemn in a Servant towards us?
A87104	And will you know what followeth upon such provocations?
A87104	At the twelfth verse of this Psalm we find David putting a question, what shall I render?
A87104	At whose command am I?
A87104	Aug. Si non vovisses quid aliud tibi suadendum suit aut quid melius ab homine fieri potest, quam ut ei se restituat à quo institutus est?
A87104	But do we thus requite the Lord, oh foolish People, and unwise?
A87104	But it may be here objected, what meaneth David to say thus peremptorily?
A87104	But what is it that rendreth this life the matter of David''s desire and hope?
A87104	Can two walk together and not be agreed?
A87104	Doth not the Law of Nature teach us to do as we would be done to?
A87104	Doth the Spirit or the Flesh govern me?
A87104	Finally, Do we not think that God is highly provoked with, and therefore will surely and sorely avenge himself upon such ingratefull Rebels?
A87104	How happy is the condition of a Saint?
A87104	How welcome was the spacious Land to Jonah, when he had been Prisoner in the Whales belly?
A87104	I am not able to requite, shall I not endeavour to return something to him for all his love?
A87104	I have deserved nothing but death, and tears, and falling, shall I not be thankfull for deliverance from all these?
A87104	I will?
A87104	Indeed how can it be expected that those services which are onely rented forth to Mens eyes, should have any payment at God''s hands?
A87104	Is carnal reason, or God''s Word, my rule?
A87104	Is not this the most odious ingratitude to retaliate injuries for curtesies?
A87104	Lord, what wilt thou give me if I go graceless?
A87104	Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
A87104	Nay yet worse, like the Earth that drinketh in the Rain, and instead of Herbs meet for the Dresser, bringeth forth Thorns and Briars?
A87104	O, my Brethren, often ask your selves these Questions, Before whom do I walk?
A87104	Quasi diceret Rem novam agis& insolentem cum enim soleas ex uno beneficio alia atque aliaseriatim ducere, quid modo hanc telam interrūp ●?
A87104	Qui Deo non vult reddere bona quae vovit ei, quomodo vult à Deo accipere bona quae ei Deus promisit?
A87104	Saint Paul saith, it is God who worketh in us to will and to do, and doth David attribute it to himself, I will?
A87104	The sense of this made Ezra to blush in behalf of the People, crying out, And now, Oh our God, what shall we say after this?
A87104	Thus indeed we ought to do; but what do we?
A87104	To this purpose the reasonings of David and Hezechiah concerning death, and the grave, are very observable, Shall the dust prayse thee?
A87104	To walk in the land of the living is the wicked mans desire, yea were it possible he would walk here for ever, but for what end?
A87104	VVas not God incensed bitterly against the old World, when he said, It repented me that I made Man upon Earth?
A87104	VVhat Man would be so impudent as to steal before the Judges face?
A87104	VVhat foolishness is it to desire that one should be a Spectator, and expect another to be a rewarder of thy actions?
A87104	VVhat kind greeting think you was there between Lazarus and his Sisters, when he was returned from the dead?
A87104	VVhat madness is it to regard the fellow- servants eye, and not the Masters?
A87104	VVhen Sigismund asked Theodoricus, what a Man should do to walk in the right way that leadeth to bliss?
A87104	VVhich of us( my Brethren) here before God this day have not experienced variety of mercies, positive and privitive, in our persons and relations?
A87104	VVould it not then be a great curb to our licenciousness, did we consider that the King of Kings, and Judge of all the World looketh on?
A87104	Vbi placebo?
A87104	What are my waies?
A87104	What man plants an Orchard, and looketh not to eat of the Fruit?
A87104	What speak I of Saints?
A87104	Whom should a Man labour to please if not his Benefactor?
A87104	and in the sense of thy vileness thus reason with thy self, I am unworthy to receive, shall I be unwilling to requite the goodness of God?
A87104	and would we have others deal by us as we do by God?
A87104	are they restrained?
A87104	are we not like the high- way side, which returneth no crop, though you cast never so much seed upon it?
A87104	builds an House, and hopeth not to enjoy the comfort thereof?
A87104	cur non pergis nectere hanc catenam?
A87104	feedeth a Flock, and expecteth not to eat of the Milk of the Flock?
A87104	in Gen. Quid ergo vovemus Deo nisi ut simus Templum Dei?
A87104	nay rather, do we not stand out the more rebelliously against him?
A87104	or act any thing unseemly in his Princes sight?
A87104	quersum ver ● cessas tu ● ● me beneficiis cumulare?
A87104	say in this case, as Abraham in another, Lord, what wilt thou give me seeing I go childless?
A87104	the sounding of thy bowells, and of thy mercyes towards me?
A87104	these gentle Batteries?
A87104	thou hast delivered my soul from death, to whom but thee should I dedicate my life?
A87104	what men resolve and promise must be what they are able to performe, and is not walking before God more than he had ability to do?
A87104	yea remain in the Congregation of the Dead, whilst in the Land of the Living?
A87104	yea, like the Vineyard, which though fenced and planted, instead of Grapes brought forth wild Grapes?
A87104	yea, which of us at some time, in some kind or other, hath not been blessed with deliverances, and that from various, yea desperate dangers?
A45548	Again, are there not many who more set by Plutarchs Morals, Seneca''s Epistles, and such like books; then they do by the holy Scriptures?
A45548	Ah my sinfull soule what will become of thee?
A45548	Ah thou despairing sinner whoever thou art, what doest thou hereby but question, nay deny Gods faithfulnesse?
A45548	Alas?
A45548	And can any admonition be more seasonable to this licentious and malicious Generation?
A45548	And how can it be otherwise?
A45548	And if there be any awakened conscience, wounded soule which cryeth out, what shall I do?
A45548	And now( my brethren) what abundant consolation doth this afford us against the sense of our manifold and mighty sins?
A45548	And would you know how to go to him?
A45548	And( oh beloved) that every soule in this congregation might be able to say of me, my Father; oh that I might be able to say of you, my children; why?
A45548	As for our past sins, committed before conversion, they shal not hinder this fellowsh ● p, because?
A45548	Because my best knowledge is mixed with some ignorance: have I not reason to study hard, that I may attain the more knowledge?
A45548	Besides, other joyes are such as many times end in sorrow, how oft have you seen tears in mens eyes, after the heartiest laughter?
A45548	But alas, how unlike are the thing& the name, how catachrestical an expression is it, when drunkenness is stiled good fellowship?
A45548	But oh thou foolish sinner, knowest thou not that though no man can be without moats, yet good m ● n are without beams?
A45548	But perhaps you will say, how can this be, that the Deity should be manifested in flesh?
A45548	Christ was before incarnate?
A45548	Confession, what is it but a setting our sins in order, and that is to be done by a distinct and particular enumeration?
A45548	Consider this clause in its selfe, and that which we have to inquire, is, what our Apostle meaneth by this phrase?
A45548	Consider who it is that here speaketh, and that in his own person: who then can be excepted out of the catalogue?
A45548	Dearest Iesus, didst thou procure thy Fathers love to me, and shall it not engage my love to thee?
A45548	Doth any one labour with ignorance?
A45548	Excellently to this purpose is that even of a Roman Bishop, in his exhortation to the Clergy?
A45548	Excellently to this purpose saith L ● ●, who is found so voyd of fault, that there is not in his life, what justice may blame and mercy perdon?
A45548	Fellowship with God, remission, adoption, eternal life; what not?
A45548	Finally, since we can not now in this life say we have no sin, how should we pray and sigh, and long to be possessed of that future felicity?
A45548	For shame let us not so palpably give our selves the lye; quid verba audiam, cum facta videam, what avail good words, when our works are bad?
A45548	For what crime of any creature whatsoever can be so haynous, for the expiating of which, the shedding of the bloud of God can not suffice?
A45548	Frequent in prayer to God; for this shall every one that is godly pray to thee, saith David: for this, what because of his sins?
A45548	Hence the dolefull sigh, and sorrowful complaint of the holy Apostle, Oh wretched man that I am, who shal deliver mee from this body of death?
A45548	How all this can be verified in reference to the word of life, which was with the Father?
A45548	How can a sinner sleep securely who is indebted so deeply?
A45548	How dishonourable, and therefore provoking this must needs be to God?
A45548	How many precious hours do many spend, and that not only on workdays, but holy- days, in fool ● sh Romances, fabulous histories, lascivious poems?
A45548	How odious is the prophanenesse of those Christians who neglect the holy Scriptures, and give themselves to reading other books?
A45548	How well doth fervent vehemency become a Minister in all his addresses to the people, but especially when he reproveth?
A45548	I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me, ● f our sinnes bee not before us how can we set them before God?
A45548	If it shall be further inquired, why the word, the second person was manifested?
A45548	If we can never come to say we have no sin, what need we care though we have sin?
A45548	If yet more perticularly you ask how this is done?
A45548	In the confidence of this propitiation wrought for us by Christ, how infinitely should we account our selves obliged to our blessed Jesus?
A45548	In this case, as Samuel said to Jesse, Are here all thy children?
A45548	Indeed St. Paul puts the question, and by it no doubt intendeth a negation; how shall they preach except they be sent?
A45548	Indeed, what is our life but a walk, and all the actions of our life, as so many steps?
A45548	Is any one affrighted with the light and sense of sin?
A45548	It is a debt in Gods Book, and who dares to blot any thing out of his Book, but himself?
A45548	It is not, an it may bee God will forgive, or an, who knoweth but hee will forgive?
A45548	It is the question of the wise man, Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
A45548	It may be here enquired, how it can stand with God ● justice, ● o infl ● ct punishment upon the guiltles?
A45548	It may perhaps be here inquired why since the commission of sin is meritorious of punishment, the confession is not of pardon?
A45548	It may perhaps be here objected, if we may not desire the prayers of the Saints in heaven, why do we of those on earth?
A45548	No sin is committed, but the Iudgement is first infatuated; and therefore it is the wisemans question, Do not they erre, that devise mischief?
A45548	O Beate Iohannes, non immeritò vocaris Iohannes, i d est, cui donatum est: cui enim Theologorum donatum est, quod tibi donatum est?
A45548	Oh how great an injury must he needs account it, if we shall throw dirt in his face?
A45548	Oh then how odious is an unpardoned sinner in Gods sight?
A45548	Oh wretched man that I am( saith the sensible sinner) who shall discharge me from this debt?
A45548	Once more, If Christ will be an Advocate, and propitiation, when we have sinned, why should our sins trouble us?
A45548	Put the case that a man were free in respect of his externall actions, yet who is free from internall motions?
A45548	Quid quaeris ext ● a illum?
A45548	Said, Peace be to you, and shewed them his hands and his feet, as if he would say?
A45548	Shall the Lawyer be valued who sheweth you that way of preserving your temporal estate?
A45548	So let us say, Blessed Iesus whither shall we go, whom should we hear but thee, thou art the word of life?
A45548	St. Ambrose speaking of these words, the whole earth is full of thy mercy; puts the question, Why is it not said the heaven as well as the earth?
A45548	Surely those that we confesse:& not till they are confessed ▪ now whoever antedated confession?
A45548	Tell me I beseech you, what man in chaines would not be at liberty?
A45548	That the manifestation is the incarnation is clear, but it would be further inquired, who it is that was thus manifested?
A45548	That which the Apostles heard is here called a message: so our translation renders it: as also Beza?
A45548	The Apostles heard this message of him: if you ask, of whom?
A45548	The Psalmist proposeth it to young men, and in them to all men as an excellent help against sin, wherewith shall a young man cleanse his wayes?
A45548	The last quaere cometh now to be unfolded: Why the thing here intended is called a manifestation?
A45548	There is a plaister provided for our wounds, what need we fear to wound our selves?
A45548	To apply this briefly, what should the consideration hereof teach us?
A45548	Upon the hearing of this message, I beleeve many are ready to put forth the question, how can this be?
A45548	Vile wretch that I am, where shall I appear?
A45548	What encouragement doth Gods faithfulnesse give to our faith?
A45548	What is it, but as it were, wrapt up in darkness?
A45548	What might be the reason why the Apostles had such sensible confirmation of what they did declare?
A45548	What shall I do to be eased of this oppressing burden?
A45548	What sins?
A45548	What then is the inference which we are to draw from hence, but that we learn?
A45548	Who art thou then that sayest Christ dyed not for thee, and will not be a propitiation for thy sins?
A45548	Who can expresse what horror seized upon ruined Babylon, which had said, I sit as a Queen, I shall see no evill?
A45548	Who ever could say, he loved God with all his heart, with all his soule, with all his might, and with all his strength?
A45548	Who may not complain of dulness: deadness, wandringnes in his devotion?
A45548	Would Ministers know what doctrine they ought to declare, and the people what they are to receive?
A45548	Would we be instructed what we are to put in practise in this Epistle?
A45548	Would we know in what respect the Gospel is the word of this life?
A45548	Would we know what this life is, whereof the Gospel is the word?
A45548	Wouldest thou then that God should ignoscere, cover, doe thou, agnoscere, discover thy sins: wouldest thou have no sin unpardoned?
A45548	Yea, that this sence is intended where spoken of Christs sufferings, appeares by St. Pauls question, is Paul crucified for you?
A45548	and afterwards in the same Chapter, what then?
A45548	and such a question, to which none can returne an affirmative answer: who can say it, and say it truly, and not be untrue in saying it?
A45548	and when he hideth his fa ● e, who then can behold him?
A45548	and who?
A45548	and why this?
A45548	and with whom?
A45548	and would it not be interpreted an act of benignity?
A45548	any hopes of it assured to us?
A45548	are profane wretches ready to say, our lives are little worse than theirs, why should not our condition be as good?
A45548	art thou spiritually hungry?
A45548	beleeve them, and not be comforted?
A45548	but there is no reality nor truth of the thing, else it could not be a cheat: will you know then how men come to say they have no sin?
A45548	confesse thy sinnes with sorrow, grief, and hatred: wouldest thou have him put away thine iniquities far from him?
A45548	didst thou snatch me as a brand out of the fire of Gods wrath, and shall not I be inflamed with affection towards thee?
A45548	doe thou freely acknowledge: wouldest thou rejoyce, and glory in his pardoning love?
A45548	doe thou put thy iniquities far from thee: finally, wouldest thou have him to cast thy sinnes for ever behinde his back?
A45548	doth it bring forth fruit in us?
A45548	for if the sin be therefore of so great a desert, because against God, why shall not the acknowledgement be of as great merit, because to God?
A45548	have not the godliest fallen into sin?
A45548	he is a God k ● eping Covenant, and mercy with us, and shall we be a people not stedfast in our Covenant with him?
A45548	hear them and not be ravished?
A45548	here is a fountain of pure water?
A45548	here we may find that which will dry our eyes, and revive our spirit; doest thou thirst after righteousnesse?
A45548	his temple, and will you seek to destroy them?
A45548	how light do most men make of their general calling?
A45548	in how many things doe every one of us offend every hour?
A45548	it is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A45548	know you not that they are his jewels, and will you deface them?
A45548	knowest thou not that though no man can be altogether without sin, yet he is best that hath the least?
A45548	meditate on them and not be delighted?
A45548	nay, if these that say they have fellowship with God, do such abhominable things, what need we trouble our selves?
A45548	nay, why should we come in at the last day of Iudgement as witnesses against you, and be forced to give up our account with grief?
A45548	not the wickedest, but the godly in this respect have cause to pray; and for what should he pray?
A45548	or can he do it, and hope impunity?
A45548	or down into the deep, to fetch it thence?
A45548	quid desideras praeter illum?
A45548	quid placet c ● m illo?
A45548	quod majus dare potuit Majoris dilectionis indicium?
A45548	seeing do what we can we shall slip; is there not cause of the more warinesse that we may not fall, or at least not often?
A45548	shall we continue in sin?
A45548	shall we sinne?
A45548	so that we may well take up the challenge of St. Paul, who shall lay any thing to our charge?
A45548	so we must conceive that God saith to us, Are here all thy sins?
A45548	soberer then Noah?
A45548	surely what Abraham in another case said to God, What wilt thou give me, seeing I go childlesse, that we say to you in this, what will you give us?
A45548	tell me why do you enforce us to complain with the Prophet, we labour in vain, and spend our strength for nought?
A45548	tell the worst tale thou canst against thy selfe, wouldest thou have him freely to forgive?
A45548	that which no man can avoid, why should we go about to withstand?
A45548	the apple of his eye, and will you touch them?
A45548	these writings are a light to the feet, and a lanthorn to his paths; do we weep in this valley of tears?
A45548	they have infirmities, but they are free from enormities?
A45548	this man or his parents?
A45548	to catch after that which being got, we can not hold, or that which being once got, we can not lose?
A45548	view the Text well, and tell me if the whole world do not include thee?
A45548	we account that Patient desperate, on whom a mortal disease is seized, and yet he saith he is not sick: is not this thy case?
A45548	what can please without him?
A45548	what debtour doth not long to be discharged?
A45548	what diseased person is not restless till he be healed?
A45548	what doest thou desire, which thou mayest not finde in him?
A45548	what exceeding gratulation should flow from us, if at any time God give us assurance of this general pardon?
A45548	what have I done can never make the confession?
A45548	what joy to seek after?
A45548	what leper craveth not to be cleansed?
A45548	what malefactor desireth not to be acquitted?
A45548	what singular admiration should ravish us in the apprehension of this, multa& m ● ● na mis ● ricordia, manifo ● d and great mercy?
A45548	when God is ready to receive thee, why shouldest thou reject Christ and cast away thy self?
A45548	when the doore is open by God, why should it be shut by thee?
A45548	when, oh when will you by receiving this caelestial seed, make us joyfull Fathers and Mothers?
A45548	why do you force us with our preaching and praying, to joyn tears in weeping for, and over you, because of your barreness?
A45548	with what confidence may a cleansed sinner come before Gods face, not doubting of acceptance and audience?
A87095	( saith St Austin) quam pervenire ad regnum cujus non est finis?
A87095	1 How glorious a priviledge is it to bee a Christian, and partake of the Unction; what is more valued by a rational creature than knowledge?
A87095	1 How suitable is the benefit to the condition?
A87095	1 The first Question to be resolved is, what this going out imports?
A87095	1 When our Apostle saith, who is a Lyar but hee that denyeth?
A87095	2 How great will the capacity of our knowledge bee when we come to Heaven?
A87095	2 How pretious is the benefit considered in it self?
A87095	2 If it shall in the next place be enquired, why eternal life is called the promise?
A87095	2 The Father it is who sends his Son into the World, and to deny him who is sent, what is it but to deny him who sendeth?
A87095	2 The next question which would bee resolved, is, how this came to pass that these schismatical Hereticks went out from the Church?
A87095	And Prosper putting this Question, What is it to walk as Christ walked?
A87095	And as Naamans servant said in another case to him, If the Prophet had commanded thee a greater thing, wouldst thou not have done it?
A87095	And doth it not plainly argue, the vessell of the heart is full of the liquor of worldly love when it runs so constantly over in worldly language?
A87095	And here both parts of this clause would be looked upon; and it is not unworthy our inquiry, how and upon what account they are brought in?
A87095	And now Brethren, If this consideration can not induce us to the doing Gods will, what will?
A87095	And now putting all together, what great cause of gratulation, and ground of consolation doth this verse afford us?
A87095	And now to use St Austins Interogation, Quid vis?
A87095	And now what other use should we make of all that hath been said, then to press upon us that Apostolicall exhortation, walk in love?
A87095	And shall we so live in this world which shall have an end, as if the world were to be our chief end?
A87095	And sutably Plato putting the question, What is the most ancient thing?
A87095	And yet what more usuall then this kinde of pride?
A87095	Answer quousque eadem peccabitis?
A87095	Are Hereticks industrious to seduce from, and shall not the Orthodox be solicitous to reduce to the truth?
A87095	Are not the souls of the wicked immortall as well as of the godly?
A87095	Are the Wolves ranging up and down to worry, and shall not the Shepheards bee watchful to preserve the sheep?
A87095	As Men, Quid superbis terra& cinis?
A87095	But alas how vaine and insufficient is this Reformation?
A87095	But if you will know when it is a desire of vain glory, and so pride of life?
A87095	But it may be here objected, What meaneth our Apostle to use this phrase of perfecting: nay, to use it in the Preterperfectence?
A87095	But oh how much better were it for us now to be convinced of, and reclaimed from this brutish simplicity?
A87095	But oh what cause is there of bemoaning the unsettledness of many in matters of Religion?
A87095	But perhaps you will say, if this were true in them already, what need our Apostle write this Commandment to them?
A87095	But tell me oh drooping soul, Why dost thou frowardly put that comfort far from thee, which truly belongs to thee?
A87095	But that which would chiefly be considered is, wherein this strength of a Christian lyeth, by which he overcometh the wicked one?
A87095	But what need I go further than the Text?
A87095	By all which it appeareth, that the Spirit is the chief in this work, so that as if you ask how we know that we know Christ, and are in him?
A87095	Can any grace, which we have in this life be perfect?
A87095	Can it be imagined that that tree which doth not bud nor blossome in the spring, should bring forth fruit in Autumn, or should flourish in Winter?
A87095	Can the world do that for us which Christ hath done?
A87095	Can there be any love of the Father in him, who hath no love to his name, especially his word which God hath magnified above all his name?
A87095	Could you but lay your eares to Hell, you might heare the like despairing moanes from those damned spirits?
A87095	Did Heliogabalus take care to make his Son like himself, luxurious, and shall not religious Parents endeavour that their children may serve the Lord?
A87095	Did not I offer my self, my merits, my righteousnesse to cloath thee?
A87095	Didst thou not by thy Sureties promise at thy Baptism, and afterwards at my table engage thy self to my service?
A87095	Didst thou not for a time make a large profession of my name, and truth?
A87095	Divine and excellent to this purpose, is that ratiocination of Seneca in his advice to Lucilius, To them that say quousque eadem?
A87095	Do we confess, bemoane, and forsake our sins?
A87095	Do we contend for a Lyturgy in the Church?
A87095	Do we contest for our Hierarchie in the Church, is it not because it was so from the beginning?
A87095	Do we oppose the office of a Lay ruling Elder in the Church?
A87095	Dost thou imagine what that soul of thine which is glued to this world, will do when this world shall be taken from it?
A87095	Dost thou think it will be so easie to cast out this strong man, when he hath had so much time to fortifie himself?
A87095	Every Instructor saith to his Auditors, in words, much like those of the King to the woman ▪ How can I help, except God help?
A87095	Excellently St. Austin to this purpose, If this be true you need not that any man teach you, why do we teach you?
A87095	Finally, To name no more, do we plead for the Baptizing of Infants?
A87095	Finally, Why shouldst thou aspire to be a Lord, when Christ took upon him the forme of a Servant?
A87095	For the better unfolding of which, I shall briefly resolve these two queries, What that Love is which we owe to our Brother?
A87095	For the unfolding whereof I shall discuss the Quid nominis?
A87095	God himselfe reasoneth, If I be a Father, where ● ● my honour, If I be a Master, where is my fear?
A87095	God knoweth we have sinnes enough( as so many Sons) of our own, why should we adopt others?
A87095	He is the Supreame Majesty, having, absolute soveraignty, and therefore his will is most justly a Law, shall we refuse to do it?
A87095	Henceforth I shall use you as Servants, but never more love you as Friends; Why should I forsake my own mercies, to observe lying vanities?
A87095	Here is the triall, what do we?
A87095	Here it is that Christ feedeth his Flock in green pastures, by still waters, why should we be as they that turn aside?
A87095	How bitterly doth David deprecate Allmighty God?
A87095	How bitterly doth Mary weep at the Sepulchre, whenas he for whom she weepeth, is risen from the grave, and standeth by her?
A87095	How can we call God Father, unless we know him to be so?
A87095	How can we love God if we love the world?
A87095	How canst thou say thou lovest me( said Dalilah to Sampson) since thy heart is not with me?
A87095	How clear and quick- sighted is a spiritual inlightened eye?
A87095	How desperately wicked then must the Devil needs be, who sinneth not only though, but because he knoweth it to be sin?
A87095	How easily is hee tossed up and down with every winde of Doctrin?
A87095	How farre, or in what sense, this is verified?
A87095	How fearfull are we to offend?
A87095	How fitly doth this represent the Spirits unction, which alone can rejoyce and exhilarate the soul?
A87095	How full of teares and despair is Hagar, when yet a well was by her?
A87095	How good is it?
A87095	How greatly doth this Meditation advance the comfort of a Christian?
A87095	How many things Historical, Moral, Speculative, Practical, are there in the sacred books, which wee meet with in Heathen Authors?
A87095	How obvious is this in all kinds of advancement, Ecclesiasticall, Civill, Military?
A87095	How often( saith Christ to Jerusalem) would I have gathered thy children together, as un Hen doth her Chickens under her wings, but you would not?
A87095	How sad, and pensive are those two Disciples whilest yet Christ draweth near to them, and walketh with them?
A87095	How unsuitable are unholy members to an holy head?
A87095	How willingly should we bespeak the people as our Brethren, nay Masters, so we can but gain them to be Christs Servants?
A87095	I answer Humility; if what is worth least and cost most?
A87095	I can not expostulate better, then in the words of St Cyprian, Si homo lucis esse capisti quid in zeli tenebras ruis?
A87095	I close up all in one word of Application, and that 1 In General, is there an Eternal Life promised?
A87095	I have served my Jesus( said Polycarpus) these many years, shall I now desert him?
A87095	I know if this Question were put to many lovers of the world, Do you hate God?
A87095	I say my Prayers, frequent the Church: and thinke you I hate, nay do I not love God?
A87095	If God hath at my request forgiven me pounds, and given me Talents, shall not I at his command forgive my Brother pence, and give him Mites?
A87095	If any shall aske a reason how it cometh to pass, that by doing Gods will, we obtaine an eternity of bliss?
A87095	If any shall yet further enquire, why our Apostle speaking of this love to a Christian, calls him by the name of a brother?
A87095	If it be further enquired what these Commandements are?
A87095	If it is old, how is it new?
A87095	If more particularly you would know what love of sleep is immoderate?
A87095	If now you shall ask me in what acception brother is here to be taken?
A87095	If so, where is our Obedience to his Commands?
A87095	If then you ask what is the formal act of this love?
A87095	If therefore you would know what desire of keeping is Tenacity?
A87095	If these things do not leave us, yet we must leave them, and as Esau said, I dye, and what good will my birthright do me?
A87095	If they did move, how did they stand?
A87095	If what is the proper effect of it?
A87095	If you aske any man whom he loveth best?
