A44678	Otherwise, is not the forming of the eye, in itself as great a thing, as to give sight to the blind?
A44678	Shall not I loose such a one whom Satan hath bound, that great enemy of mankind?
A44678	We find it expresly so said in Scripture; and who can so truly speak Gods mind as himself?

A44689	And do I then think it fit, that the heavens should roll for me?
A44689	And what is the chief design of them?
A44689	And when we principally design our selves in our prayers, what is it we covet most for our selves?
A44689	But also do not our prayers chiefly center in our selves?
A44689	But what am I?
A44689	For what is Christianity but the tendency of soules towards God, through the mediation, and under the conduct of Christ?

A44689	Than which, what could make a Prince more inglorious, and infamous?
A44689	The absurdity, For who can reasonably think him capable of hearing our prayers, whom at the same time he thinkes incapable of knowing our hearts?
A44689	To distinguish them that will not be distinguisht?
A44689	VVhat are we all, and all our interests to that of his name?

A44689	Why to whom can it be thought this people did keep fasts but unto God?
A44689	expostulations, What wilt thou do to thy great name?
A44689	hath thy Soul loathed Zion?
A44689	or all the mighty wheeles of providence move only with regard to my convenience?
A44689	or the thing we are most intent, and which our hearts are principally set upon?
A44689	what are the good things we chiefly desire for them?
A44689	what subordination is there here?
A44689	while we make a customary( not understood) use in them of the name of God?
A44690	According to that you are to be judged: Did you love God in this Body while here, yea or no?
A44690	And then, Fifthly, Hereupon too: Pity thy self, pity thy own Soul, there is cause to hate it, to loath it, and is there no cause to pity it?
A44690	And to think sadly with my self what will the end of this be?
A44690	Are we lovers of God in Christ, or are we not?
A44690	But if I be such an evil doer against the Supream Ruler, the Lord of Heaven and Earth: Have I not reason to be afraid?
A44690	Can any thing be more absurdly spoken?
A44690	Doth not this look like a lamentable case?
A44690	For the last Judgment regards that former state, what thou didst; and what was thy wo nt as to this whilst thou wast in the Body?
A44690	How canst thou guide thy course, or tell which way to apply or turn thy self?
A44690	I''ll pawn my Soul upon it, I''ll run the hazard of my Soul upon it, I am a lover of God for all this?

A44690	To what Regions of Horror, and Darkness, and Woe, art thou going?
A44690	What Society can be fit for thee?
A44690	What a Soul have I?
A44690	What a fearful thing will it be to stand convicted so upon such a Point as this?
A44690	What a fearful thing would it be to have this Secret so disclosed?
A44690	What a heart have I?
A44690	What is Examination for, but in order to Judgment?
A44690	What wast thou as to this point, while thou wast in the Body?
A44690	Where art thou to have thy eternal abode?
A44690	Why should you not concur and fall in with Christ the authorized Judge?
A44690	Why, is it not as good this should be the present issue at your own Bar, and at the Tribunal of your own Conscience, as before God''s Judgment- Seat?
A44690	Would you venture a Finger so?
A44690	Would you venture any thing else so besides your Soul?
A44690	condemn him?
A44690	dethrone him?
A44690	disannul his Judgment?
A44690	or dost thou not?
A44690	that thou may be righteous?
A44690	to lament it?
A44690	whether thou lovest God, or lovest him not?
A48160	( What?
A48160	( as God forbid I should think he never hath) what is that he supposes injurious to it?
A48160	And indeed is this a new notion?
A48160	And is there any hurt to him in that?
A48160	And what doth this come to less than three Natures?
A48160	And what is it now that he can not possibly understand otherwise?
A48160	And what then?
A48160	And what''s that which he calls a new notion?
A48160	And wherein doth it come short of what is said by the Enquirer?
A48160	And who did ever make a real distinction to be but modal?
A48160	Are similitudes ever wo nt to be alike throughout, to what they are brought to illustrate?
A48160	But hath he in all this fervent bluster a present concern at this time for the Honour of the Divine Being?
A48160	But if there be three what?
A48160	But this supposes some body said the first: And who?
A48160	But wherein doth the Enquirer own it?
A48160	But why then were these three so much discourst of before?
A48160	Doth he mean we are to disbelieve every thing of God whereof we have not a natural Notion?
A48160	For how can such actual sensation be imagin''d to be union?
A48160	For what are three spiritual natures no more the same, than( as he grosly speaks) the Soul and Body are?
A48160	How could he but think of that; To whom do ye liken me?
A48160	If by different Natures he means( as he seems) of a different kind, who thought of such a difference?
A48160	Is God the appropriate Name of a Person?
A48160	Is it strange the Created Universe should not afford us an exact Representation of uncreated Being?
A48160	Is it the words, parts and compounds?
A48160	Is not the water in the streams, the same that was in the Fountain?
A48160	Is this Notion of God pretended to be Natural?
A48160	Then to what purpose is a Divine Revelation?
A48160	Therefore if he do not own the Consequence, then the Defender confesses himself to have invidiously devised it; and what is it?
A48160	What Appetite in him is it, that now seeks what Nature doth not afford?
A48160	What is wanting to make him compleat God, in whom the whole, entire Divinity subsists?
A48160	Who can help so cross an understanding?
A48160	Why were these words read with Eyes refusing their office, to let them into the Reader''s mind?
A48160	and all other conceivable perfections besides?
A48160	and are not the several Attributes expresly spoken of as common to these three?
A48160	as new as the Creation?
A48160	by what consequence is this said, from any thing in the Enquirers Hypothesis?
A48160	may one neither be allow''d to agree with him, nor disagree?
A48160	no more than an intelligent mind, and a piece of Clay?
A48160	or fathom the depths?
A48160	or is it the things supposed to be united in the Divine Being?
A48160	then indeed there will be but one person; but who here says so but himself?
A48160	tho''distinct?)
A44681	And how?
A44681	And now what mighty pleadings might the Case admit, on the one hand, and the other?
A44681	And now, all the question will be, Which alledges the more considerable things?
A44681	And what else is living Religion, but a tendency to Blessedness?
A44681	But he that is joined unto the Lord, is one Spirit?
A44681	But is our Service fit, in point of excellency, and value, to be compared with that of glorified Spirits in the upper Regions?
A44681	But what now, doth this fearful Case admit of no remedy?
A44681	Can such a presence with the Lord, as is here meant, consist with sleeping?
A44681	Can we not endure to see or think of a Man at liberty,( suppose it were a Friend or a Brother) if we our selves were in Prison?
A44681	Especially, when it is so purposely design''d for Remedy of the Apostacy, wherein Men are revolted and gone off from him?
A44681	For was it only an entrance into Glory he desired, and not continuance in a glorified state?
A44681	For who are the[ We] that speak of being absent from the Body, and present with the Lord?
A44681	Hath not Death still swept the Stage from Generation to Generation?
A44681	Have not others, in all former Ages, lov''d the Body and this World as much?
A44681	How doth that part of the Creation that is inferior to you, abound with like Instances?
A44681	How like in sound is this to Animus cujusque is quisque?
A44681	Is a Body so much nearer a- kin to us, than a Spirit; that we must have so mean a thing to come between, to mediate and reconcile us to it?
A44681	Know of your selves, demand an account, Are you sincerely willing to be his?
A44681	Mansion do I say?
A44681	Matters are then agreed between him and you: And who can break or disanul the Agreement?
A44681	Of whom we find one* speaking with a sort of disdain; Is this Body, I?
A44681	Or is sleeping more desirable than the converse with him our present state admits?
A44681	Or, That the Soul is the Man?
A44681	Or, upon supposition you should, are you willing?
A44681	Shall we agree to resign these Bodies, and this bodily Life?
A44681	Shall we now learn more to study, and understand our own Natures?
A44681	That we are Creatures united with Bodies, but separable from them?
A44681	That we are sojourners only in a Body, which we must shortly leave to Dust and Worms?
A44681	To contemplate our selves, and our Duty thereupon?
A44681	What can be more disconsolate?
A44681	What is Death to me as an Object of Fear, in comparison of being absent from the Lord?
A44681	What is it as an Object of Love, in comparison of being with the Lord?
A44681	What so much a- kin are a Mind, and a piece of Earth, a Clod, and a Thought, that they should be thus affiix''d to one another?
A44681	Who are they that they should desire the Day of the Lord?
A44681	Who can come between him and you?
A44681	Who could ever, by their love of this bodily Life, procure it to be perpetuated?
A44681	Why are we afraid of what we are so nearly allyed unto?
A44681	Why do we make the Thoughts of a Spirit out of a Body so strange to our selves?
A44681	Will a Man rob God?
A44681	Will he suffer himself to be defeated in a Design, upon which he is so industriously intent?
A44681	Without this, who can expect but to hear from him at last, Depart from me, I know you not?
A44681	Would I lurk in the Body, and lie hid from the presence of the Lord?
A44681	Yea, and when he now takes him in hand a second time?
A44681	You are unwilling to die, and be banish''d the Divine Presence; But are you unwilling to die and enjoy it?
A44681	a Day of such gloominess and darkness, as it is likely, should it now dawn, to prove to them?
A44681	and taken all away, willingly or unwillingly?
A44681	and to take him for yours, without limitation or reserves?
A44681	and what is become of them?
A44681	break and violate his House?
A44681	or by their dread of Mortality, make themselves Immortal?
A44674	And are your minds more delightfully taken up with the things of God than formerly?
A44674	And doth not this import enmity in an high degree?
A44674	And is it not strange you can not see this?
A44674	And is your enmity against God a juster, or more tolerable thing?
A44674	And what were they, of whom he says, by the Prophet?
A44674	And whence doth this proceed, but from enmity, an alienation of the mind from God?
A44674	Are you in mind and spirit more holy, spiritual and serious?
A44674	But it is most justly to be said, what profit is it to the Almighty that we call upon him?
A44674	But who may not now apprehend a necessity of being regenerate?
A44674	Can two walk together, unless they be agreed?
A44674	Can you deny that you have lived in great ignorance of God much of your time?
A44674	Can you deny you have minds capable of knowing God?
A44674	Do not these things together discover an enmity against God, and the ways of God?
A44674	Enquire, therefore, what change do you find in your minds?
A44674	God charges them, and doth he not know them?
A44674	Have you not in you a reflecting power?
A44674	How can we lie down in peace in an unreconciled state?
A44674	How few are there that say, give me Christ, or I am lost?
A44674	If you be God''s Enemy, can he be your Friend?
A44674	It would be profane to say, what profit is it to us to call upon the Almighty?
A44674	None can reconcile me to God but Christ?
A44674	Now consider, whether our disobedience to these two Precepts do not discover great enmity in our Hearts against God?
A44674	That the Gospel under which you have lived, hath had little effect upon you, to alter the temper of your Spirits towards him?
A44674	That the thoughts of him have been ungratefull, and very little welcome, or pleasant to you?
A44674	That you have had little converse with him, little trust, reverence, delight, or expectation plac''d on him as the object?
A44674	That you have not been wo nt to concern him in your affairs, to consult him, to desire his concurrence?
A44674	That you have not designed the pleasing, or obeying of him in the course of your conversation?
A44674	That you have not thought of approving your self to him in your designs and actions, but lived as without him in the world?
A44674	That you have usually been thoughtless and unmindfull of him in your ordinary course?
A44674	To refuse placing our Treasure, and our Hearts in Heaven, what doth this signify, but aversion, and a disaffected Heart?
A44674	What doth this signify, but obstinate, invincible enmity?
A44674	What is so near a man, as himself?
A44674	What need of such striving, but that there is a great enmity in the minds of People to be conquered and overcome?
A44674	What will become of the man that is not reconciled to God?
A44674	What will become of thee, if thou diest with such a disaffected mind Godward?
A44674	What, to refuse to pray, and pour out our Souls to him in secret?
A44674	When men will endure the greatest extremity, rather than apply themselves to God; what doth this resolve into, but enmity against God?
A44674	When therefore this is not done, whence is it, but from an enmity of mind?
A44674	Whence can this be, but from man''s aversion, and enmity of mind against God?
A44674	While the voice of the Gospel of Grace is calling upon you, Return and live; Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die?
A44674	Why are men at that distance from him, who is Goodness, and Grace, and Love it self?
A44674	Why else is he called, the heart- searching God?
A44674	Why is it?
A44674	Why is not Heaven every day in our thoughts?
A44674	Why not as well on God, as upon any of those vanities, about which they are commonly employ''d?
A44674	Why should not God rule over, and govern his own?
A44674	Why will we lose the pleasure of an heavenly life, and exchange it for earthly care, and trouble, or vanity, at the best?
A44674	Yet when their very Hearts are such an Hell of wickedness( as what is more hellish than enmity against God?)
A44674	and perceive a disaffection to God by all this in your selves?
A44674	or without knowing, whether we are reconciled, or not?
A44674	that your ignorance was voluntary, having such means of knowing him, as you have had?
A44674	what business will this hinder?
A44674	when a man goes about his ordinary affairs, will it do any hurt to take God with him?
A44670	Against whom doth he write?
A44670	And consider whether by your Notion of a Person you forsake not the generality of them, who have gone, as to this point, under the repute of Orthodox?
A44670	And doth not this civil, or meerly respective Notion of a Person, the other being left, fall in with the Antitrinitarian?
A44670	And is an interpretation false, because the words can possibly be tortur''d unto some other sense?
A44670	And then I further enquire, If it were possible to him to unite two, would it not be as possible to unite three?
A44670	Are we therefore to think Infidelity or Despair do not disagree?
A44670	But I pass to the II d Enquiry: Whether some further distinction may not be admitted as possible?
A44670	But are these different conceptions true or false?
A44670	But if things of so congenerous a Nature be united, will not their distinction be lost in their union?
A44670	But is it therefore to be called irrational?
A44670	But what will be the consequence?
A44670	But you will say, suppose it be possible, to what purpose is all this?
A44670	Do therefore their Contraries agree to him?
A44670	Doth he not know they understand this Oneness in one sense, he, in another?
A44670	For the allowing of three somewhats in the divine nature( and what less could have been said?)
A44670	For the former we are at a certainty: But for the latter how do we know what the Original, Natural State of the Divine Being is, in this respect?
A44670	For tho''it is so generally acknowledged, doth he not know it is not so generally understood in the same sense?
A44670	How do we know but that there may be three in the Godhead that make but one God?
A44670	How remote is it from the supposed Trinity in the Godhead?
A44670	How then are we to conceive of the hypostatical union?
A44670	How will he prove any Copies we rely upon to be false?
A44670	If I had deny''d the simplicity of the Divine Nature, had the inference been just, that therefore I must grant a composition?
A44670	If false, why are they admitted?
A44670	If the first be possible, the next actual, what pretence is there to think the last impossible?
A44670	If therefore it be askt, What do we conceive under the Notion of God, but a necessary, spiritual Being?
A44670	If this were indeed so; doth what was true become false, because such a man hath said it?
A44670	Is it because he is pleased to suspect them?
A44670	Nor do I say that it must, I only say Do we know, or are we sure there is no sort of Plurality?
A44670	Or shall we say we clearly see that is not, which only we do not see?
A44670	That therefore there are three Deities?
A44670	They in such a sense as admits a Trinity, he in a sense that excludes it?
A44670	What Man knoweth the things of a Man, but the Spirit of a Man that is in him?
A44670	What incongruity is there in supposing, in this respect, as well as in many others, somewhat most peculiarly appropriate to the Being of God?
A44670	What will be the consequence?
A44670	Where novv is the coincidency?
A44670	Whether a Trinity in the Godhead be possible or no?
A44670	Why then is an unmade, uncreated union of three Spirits less conceivable as that which is to be presupposed to their mutual consciousness?
A44670	Will any man say two or three spirits united, being of the same nature, will mingle, be confounded, run into one another, and lose their distinction?
A44670	Will it not make us Unitarians only, as they affect to call themselves?
A44670	Will not the Notion of Person it self be much more unexceptionable, when it shall be supposed to have its own individual Nature?
A44670	You will here say further than what?
A44670	and what do we make of that?
A44670	and what would I have further?
A44670	i. e. If it were possible to him to unite a spirit and a body, why is it less possible to him to have united two spirits?
A44670	or what it may contain or comprehend in it, consistently with the Unity thereof; or so, but that it may still be but one Divine Being?
A44670	or what simplicity belongs to it?
A44670	or will it be Tritheism, and inconsistent with the acknowledged inviolable Unity of the Godhead?
A44670	or will we say his Wisdom and his Power are really the same thing?
A44670	shall we not believe it?
A44670	that therefore there are three Gods?
A44670	will it be any thing more contrary to such simplicity of the Divine Nature as is necessarily to be ascribed thereto?
A44687	A Law already made in the case, how can it be innocent?
A44687	And how is that otherwise to be done, than by these disputed means?
A44687	And how small is the inconvenience of acknowledging that?
A44687	And if we say his Will is changed, how should we know it to be so?
A44687	And stands the same Rule of righteousnes and duty that it was?
A44687	And that this was the fittest way of dealing with reasonable Creatures, who, that will use his own reason, sees not?
A44687	And then why is the latter call''d voluntas?
A44687	And thus how easily, and even naturally, would the Gospel soon have spread it self thorough the World?
A44687	And were it reasonable to affirm that by a perfection he is disabled for Government?
A44687	And why is it not to be thought congruous, that, in some degree, things should be proportionably so, in the sphere of Grace?
A44687	As to the former, What appearance such alledg''d Passages can be justly said to have?
A44687	As what of it were left, if it should despoil him of his Legislative Power, and capacity of governing according to Lawes made by it?
A44687	But if what was otherwise man''s duty, be still his duty, what can make it unfit that it be declared, and made known to him to be so?
A44687	Doth the change of his Rebel- Creatures infer any with him?
A44687	Expressions of passionate earnestnes, how to be understood?
A44687	For what can be supposed more repugnant?
A44687	For what should be the reason of the doubt?
A44687	For, how can that end be seriously intended, which it is foreseen will not be brought about?
A44687	Hath this Perfection so much diminisht him as to depose him from his Government?
A44687	He, who best understands his own Nature, having said of himself what imports no less; why should we make a difficulty to believe him?
A44687	How God may be said to act for any end?
A44687	How much better is it, in both, that second Causes, ordinarily follow their inclinations?
A44687	If innocent, how were it punishable?
A44687	If no such thing did ever fall out, what a Temptation were it to mankind, to introduce into their beleif an unintelligent fate instead of a Deity?
A44687	If we know it, how should those yet- extant Lawes and Declarations continue to oblige, against the Law- givers known will?
A44687	Is it hereby become unfit for him to govern his Subjects by Lawes?
A44687	Now again suppose the World revolted, what then is that holy Will of God changed?
A44687	Or the Miracles wrought in our Saviour''s and the next following Daies?
A44687	Or what more impertinent?
A44687	Or what relief is there in that dream[ of the supposed possibility of God''s making a reasonable Creature with an innocent aversion to himself?]
A44687	Or, if it be said, because it is foreknown, Man will do such a thing, therefore he may, where is the connection?
A44687	What Government is there that hath not its arcana, profound mysteries and reasons of State that a vulgar wit can not dive into?
A44687	What can be the sober meaning and design of such prayers?
A44687	What fit course could be thought of more consistent therewith?
A44687	What his declarations to men amount unto?
A44687	What they are, by them, encouraged to expect?
A44687	Who blames a Prince, for placing special marks of his Royal bounty, or clemency here and there, as he thinkes fit?
A44687	Would it nullifie the obligation of God''s Law, and make Man''s own inclination his only rule?
A44687	Yea and how manifest the absurdity of not acknowledging the like, in many cases?
A44687	Yea( for this is the case) what can make it less fit, than it would be that God should cease to rule over the World?
A44687	and qit the right of his Government to his revolted creatures, upon no other reason, than only that he foresees they have a mind to invade it?
A44687	and take away the differences of good and evil?
A44687	or any way admonish them of their duty?
A44687	unless the meaning be he did only will the sign, which is false and impious; and if it were true, did he not will it with the will of good pleasure?
A44687	will we not say it remains the same holy Will still?
A70719	3. but if you design Hurt and Revenge, you walk like Devils; and where are your City Walls this while?
A70719	And 3dly, for your Souls, how should they thrive, when no Worship of God among you?
A70719	And even slighty efforts of it are oft great sorrow to some Souls, and is it nothing to you?
A70719	And how should he rule his own House, that can not rule himself?
A70719	And is it not a fine credit for thee to be marked, and to be warned of, as one to have as little to do with as may be?
A70719	And why should we despair of seeing such an effect, what is too hard for Grace and the Spirit of God to work us unto?
A70719	Are ye carnal, and will ye walk like men?
A70719	But how must you be cured, and others warned, if your sin must not be named?
A70719	But how, or by what means shall this strange and stupendous change, be brought to pass?
A70719	But if they are irreclaimable, why should you destroy your own comfort, or fall upon your self for their wickedness?
A70719	But what then shall I do when God riseth up, and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
A70719	But when Men are as oft angry as ever they can; when it may be said to some, when did you ever avoid Anger if there were occasion for it?
A70719	Can they say worse by me than I know by my self?
A70719	Chrysostom hath an ingenious concession in this case: Wilt thou remember Injuries?
A70719	Did not he that made me in the womb, make him; and did not one fashion us in the womb?
A70719	Doth Anger mend them, or not make them worse?
A70719	Doth Christ for nothing say that he that is angry with his Brother rashly, is in so much danger?
A70719	God doth not fail to afflict to make men see, and repent of this sin, and to seek Peace with God and Men: Who hath wo?
A70719	Hast thou never done as much to any other; what doth thine own heart tell thee on this account?
A70719	Have you no consideration with you, that you are thus transported on this manner?
A70719	If any one acts crossingly, or speaks provokingly, it is what God hath appointed, and who can say to him what dost thou?
A70719	If good Folks can not spare one another, what can be expected from Enemies?
A70719	If what I would have done, may sooner and sooner be done by fair words, who would chide to have it done?
A70719	In some of your Transports, what could the vilest carnal Wretch speak or do worse?
A70719	Is it handsome to entertain Strangers with brawls?
A70719	Is the Sun gone down upon your wrath?
A70719	It is what hath been cured, and if thou be willing, why not in thee?
A70719	Now what if you made trial to put off Anger at certain times?
A70719	One expostulated with Demonax, why he would be a friend to his enemy?
A70719	Should be deal with our sister as with an harlot?
A70719	To be patient unprovoked is no patience, what thank have ye?
A70719	Use your selves to put off the present motion, it may spoil many a chiding match, and who will loose by that?
A70719	Was there so great matter for it?
A70719	We see the Mischief that is done to, and by ungoverned Spirits; what is to be done for remedy?
A70719	What Mischief had David like to have done in his wrath?
A70719	What a disappointment and defeat doth believing Patience give to your Enemy, when Anger and Wrath is suppressed and turned by?
A70719	What a fine Life is it to have all things done in quiet?
A70719	What a rich and lovely Ornament in Religion is a wise reprover to an obedient ear?
A70719	What doth Anger do, but what Calmness might do, and do it better, and escape this trouble of vexation?
A70719	Where are your City Walls and Gates and Bars this while?
A70719	Where could Anger get in?
A70719	Whether Success in Affairs can be expected, when not prayed for?
A70719	Who am I, that I should not be crossed, when few have their will in every thing?
A70719	Who am I, they vilifie me, and am I not vile?
A70719	Who gave you leave to be Angry?
A70719	Why who are ye?
A70719	Wouldst thou be willing to be thus born down, and not suffered to speak if thou hadst Truth on thy side, meerly because thou art an Inferior?]
A70719	You have tried and tasted the bitterness of being angry, but did you ever try the sweetness of putting anger by?
A70719	You may thrust your Sword- hilt and all into his Heart, and add another stab; and how is this done?
A70719	[ if he be extream to mark what is amiss, who can stand?]
A70719	and may you not, by finding the feasibleness and sweetness of putting it by at some times, be strengthened rarely to admit it at any time?
A70719	but see how this is remembred by God?
A70719	he answered, why he would be an enemy to his friend?
A70719	or what could the most Carnal do worse to you, or to one another?
A70719	that we must be so cautious lest we touch your Freehold?
A70719	to mark every little thing, and to aggravate our real Transgressions, as we do Appearances, it would be very sad; and how can we look for other?
A70719	were it not more rational to leave them unto God, and preserve your own City as well as you can?
A70719	what a dismantled City is this?
A70719	where are your Walls this while?
A70719	who hath babling?
A70719	who hath contentions?
A70719	who hath sorrow?
A70719	who hath wounds without cause?
A70719	wilt thou be an Enemy?
A70719	wilt thou revenge thy self?
A70719	would''st have God deal so with thee?
A70719	wouldst thou be willing to be screwed, and aggravated, and no defence admitted, as thou dost no with thy Brother with whom thou strivest?
A44671	( Can Men find nothing else to play with?)
A44671	( We suppose it only such a Trust as may be fitly enough placed upon a Man) Which way is it to contribute towards my Safety or Welfare?
A44671	And are you so foolish, having begun in the Spirit, do you think to be made perfect by the Flesh?
A44671	And do we yet entertain in our minds any hope that the Christian Religion shall spread, and be more generally propagated through the world?
A44671	And how little can this avail upon a rational Estimate?
A44671	And if it be, every one will understand the Enquiry concerning that, as they would concerning any thing else, what is it''s Essence?
A44671	And if the Question be ask''d, Pray how long?
A44671	And what is it but Religious Contention, for the most part, that hath fill''d the Christian World with Blood and Ruines for many by past Ages?
A44671	And what, has such a Text of Scripture as that no Edge?
A44671	And who should dare to invite others, or forbid these?
A44671	As you would do, if it were enquired, What is Humanity?
A44671	But above all, it ought to be considered,( and how little is it?)
A44671	But do we think we shall carry Strife to Heaven?
A44671	But he presently falls a disputing, Yea, but how am I to consider this trust?
A44671	But if any endeavour to that purpose were yet to be used; what should it be?
A44671	But is it not too common to magnify one of these above or against the other?
A44671	But you will say, What is to be done?
A44671	Can any good come of it?
A44671	Can none remember when the Disputative Humour had even eaten out the Power and Spirit of Practical Religion and Godliness?
A44671	Can this be grateful, or not be a dismaying, frightful thing?
A44671	Can this conduce to the Service of Divine and Heavenly Truth?
A44671	Can this serve for Religion?
A44671	Consider, I beseech you, my Friends, what this comes to?
A44671	Doth it tend to the clearning of Truth?
A44671	Envyings, Heart- burnings, An ● ● ● sities, Enimities, Hatred of our Brethren and Fellow- Christians, shall we carry these to Heaven with us?
A44671	For can it Content us that Christianity should appear, and be counted a mean, a weak, and even a ludicrous thing?
A44671	For where( scarce any where) is the Man to be found?
A44671	For, I pray, do but consider; All the several differing Parties amongst us do with one voice pretend to be for Peace; but how, and upon what Terms?
A44671	How absurd an Abuse were this of the Clemency of a Propitious Prince?
A44671	How can this but offend?
A44671	I would ask whose is this Table?
A44671	If it be a Sin, is it not an hainous one?
A44671	If there be cause of Anger, upon this account, on one side, there is the same cause on the other too; and then whether shall this grow?
A44671	If we love Divine Truth, why do we not feed and live upon it, and enjoy it''s pleasant Relishes?
A44671	Is Christ therefore the minister of sin?
A44671	Is a good Cause served by it?
A44671	Is it not less to us to collect, that these things do more peculiarly grieve the Spirit?
A44671	Is it not to be considered, that he no further differs from me than I do from him?
A44671	Is it the Table of this or that Man?
A44671	Is it to be an Instrument or a Condition?
A44671	Much more, that shelters what is so very bad?
A44671	Nevertheless I live; And how?
A44671	Not what are all the several Accidents it may admit of?
A44671	One would think in this case, What have I stirring within me?
A44671	Or do we desire it should?
A44671	Or do we dread that it should not, through our default?
A44671	Or do we think it possible the Wrath of Man should ever- work the Righteousness of God?
A44671	Or is it the Lord''s Table?
A44671	Or what are it''s Essentials, or wherein doth it consist?
A44671	Or what would I persw ● de in this case of differing Apprehensions and ways still remaining among Christians?
A44671	Shall I indulge that in my self, that is a mark upon me of Divine Displeasure; and upon all in whom it is found?
A44671	Shall we carry Anger to Heaven?
A44671	Shall we see the better thorough the Clouds and Dust we raised?
A44671	That is in the Body an universal Sentient?
A44671	This only would I learn of you, received ye the Spirit by the Works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith?
A44671	What Clemency would not this provoke to the highest Resentment and Indignation?
A44671	What Consideration?
A44671	What Tenderness of offending, of affronting him, and of hazarding our own Souls is there in all this?
A44671	What a representation of Christian Religion is this?
A44671	What can you think of that Spirit that feels every where?
A44671	When we have the Rights of the Redeemer asserted in those whom he hath bought with his Blood?
A44671	While there are divisions among you, are you not carnal, and walk( or act) as Men?
A44671	Who art thou who presumest to justle him out of this his Supream and most Sacred right?
A44671	Who can justify this?
A44671	Why dost thou judge thy Brother, or set at nought thy Brother?
A44671	by which to lance, to pierce such a Tumour?
A44671	for the end for which it was given, to enlighten, purify, quicken my Soul towards God, renew and form ▪ it for God, to serve and enjoy him?
A44671	no Point?
A44671	or Party of Men?
A44691	And I may add, can it be comfortable to us, he should have no other interest in us than he hath in Devils?
A44691	And again, ille qui adoptabatur — utrum i d fieri pateretur?
A44691	And dare we, who live, move, and have our being in him, refuse to be, live, and move to him?
A44691	And first, Let it be considered, Are there no like cases?
A44691	And how shall he, while you hold off your selves from him?
A44691	And if that were done never so seriously, must one be a Christian alwaies, onely by the Christianity of another, not his own?
A44691	And that least should appear of caution, care and punctual dealing, in our very greatest concernment?
A44691	And what a reproach do you cast upon him, when you give others occasion to say his own, they that have devoted themselves to him, dare not trust him?
A44691	And what are these sanctify''d for, but to be used and exercised?
A44691	And what can be to you the ground of an higher fortitude?
A44691	And what limit can be set to a love, whose object is infinite?
A44691	And who is there of us that finds not himself under sufficient obligation, by the mercies of God, unto all this?
A44691	And would you think of any less noble Sacrifice?
A44691	Are the Collatine people in their own power?
A44691	Are the Collatine people in their own power?
A44691	Are there no mercies( confer''d or offered) that do peculiarly oblige us more?
A44691	Are we not rescued from a necessity of perishing, and being lost for ever, in the most costly way?
A44691	Are we too considerable to be his, or his Mercies too inconsiderable to oblige us to be so?
A44691	Are you devoted to God?
A44691	As a bridegroom rejoiceth over his bride, so will thy God rejoice over thee) and shall not we?
A44691	Can any thing less be thought worthy of a God?
A44691	Can men excel God in praise- worthy things?
A44691	Can they be unsafe that have devoted themselves to God?
A44691	Estisne vos legati Oratoresque missi à populo Collatino, ut vos populumque Collatinum dederitis?
A44691	For how unlikely were it, and absurd to suppose, that a man should seriously devote his child to God, that never devoted himself?
A44691	For is not the Devil invisible too?
A44691	For what else can you doe with your self?
A44691	For, let such a One think, what particular reason can I have to exclude my self from such a consenting Chorus?
A44691	He that provideth not for his own,( his domesticks) those of his own house, hath deny''d the faith, and is worse than an infidel?
A44691	How great a day in a man''s life doth he count his marriage day?
A44691	In which it is fit for us to tolerate our selves?
A44691	Is it fit that a man''s Religion should be less the matter of his solemn choice, than his inferiour concerns?
A44691	Is it reasonable one should be a child and a minor in the things of God and Religion all his daies?
A44691	Is that too much?
A44691	Is this that God is less conversable with men?
A44691	Lord, whither shall we go?
A44691	My self?
A44691	Or can we think it fit, in it self; we should be no otherwise his, than( as one well saies) Fields, Woods, and Mountains, and brute Beasts?
A44691	Or to whom he may not say, in a far more eminent sense, than the Apostle speaks it to Philemon, thou owest even thy self also unto me?
A44691	Stand, shall I?
A44691	That when he chooses his dwelling, his calling, his servant, or master, he should seem thrown upon his God, and his Religion, by chance?
A44691	The one sort, through natural incapacity, can not, by consent, be his?
A44691	They have lamented your sin, are you never therefore to lament your own?
A44691	They have prayed for you, are you therefore never to pray for your selves?
A44691	To have dedicated one self to God, if seriously, and duly done; would it have less power to possess One, with an holy, calm, peacefull temper of mind?
A44691	Were we not lost?
A44691	What am I?
A44691	What an horrid complexion of mind did Cain bear with him hereupon?
A44691	What need we, then, do over again, a thing already done?
A44691	Wherefore do ye spend your money for that which is not bread?
A44691	Which the Apostle''s reasoning implies, He that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
A44691	Who?
A44691	Why should I spoil the harmony, and give a disagreeing vote?
A44691	Why should any One be more willing to be saved than I?
A44691	Why should any man be, more willing to be dutifull, and happy than I?
A44691	Will we refuse to give God what we owe?
A44691	Will you think, he can be like such a One?
A44691	You are to discharge your self of all unsuitable cares, for will not he take care of his own, Who hath put so ill a note upon them that do not?
A44691	You can not be happy without it, For who should make you so but God?
A44691	alwaies in nonage?
A44691	and the other, through an invincible malignity, never will?
A44691	and to what more noble purpose?
A44691	and your labour, for that which satisfieth not?
A44691	have you dedicated your selves?
A44691	he that was to be adopted, whether he was contented it should be so?
A44691	if not the Children of a Prince, should live free from care?
A44691	is there no difference in the case of reasonable creatures and unreasonable?
A44691	less willing to be found of them that seek him?
A44691	or deny the Lord who bought us?
A44691	shall I?
A44691	theirs who profess devotedness to him, and theirs who are his profest enemies?
A44691	to be just to God, or have him good to me?
A44682	A Parliament( at least) not Adjourn or be Prorogued without being dissolved?
A44682	And I further inquire, by what power they can be bound which Christ hath not given?
A44682	And are we alwaies to sit still thus?
A44682	And can we think that a Duty lying upon us, which, in our circumstances, makes a far greater Duty impractible?
A44682	And how easie were it to instance in many other Laws, the letter of which, they that urge these against the Dissenters, do without scruple transgress?
A44682	And if indeed they judge that Consequence strong, I would fain know what hurt they can think it doth them?
A44682	And that an Assembly of the States in any Kingdom or Nation can not break up, without a dissolution of the Government?
A44682	And then( if this were all that were to be said to the contrary) why might not that Bond as well serve to Constitute the Church?
A44682	And therefore such a Church hath such powers from Christ as were above mentioned?
A44682	And what reason is there why men should be so strictly tyed up to such things, which they may do or let alone, and yet be very good Christians still?
A44682	And which no more qualify for Christian Society, than that doth for human?
A44682	And who would think in such a case I transgrest the true intention of the Law?
A44682	And with how great numbers must this be the case?
A44682	Because it is possible there might have been such a Macedonian, or such a Lydian Church, is such a one therefore necessary?
A44682	But can it be thought a man is to put himself out of the state or way of Salvation in complement to such as will otherwise take offence?
A44682	But can it now be infer''d thence, that therefore God hath actually constituted every Christian Kingdom or Nation such a Church?
A44682	But if one find upon the road such a poor wretch ready to perish, am I not bound, notwithstanding, if I can, to releive him?
A44682	But is this to be done while we sleep and do nothing?
A44682	But now( my Honored Friend) what think you of our cause?
A44682	But only inquiring( as he there doth) concerning the Charter given by Christ for the binding men up to more than himself hath done?
A44682	But what shall we do if after our utmost endeavours our dissatisfaction remain?
A44682	Can a Mercury be made of every Log?
A44682	Do meer Orders make him a Minister who( perhaps since he received them) is become destitute of the most essential qualifications?
A44682	Do not necessities of a much lower nature oblige us to recede from stated humane rules?
A44682	How far either the example of our Saviour or his Apostles doth warrant such rigorous impositions?
A44682	How many dispense with themselves in many parts of their required Conformity, that have obliged themselves to it?
A44682	If it be so, how came this Author to have it revealed to him?
A44682	Is Printing it to the World keeping it secret?
A44682	Is it not possible there may be such a Bond for Worship, as well as for Government?
A44682	It is not how far Christians are bound to submit to a restraint of their Christian liberty?
A44682	It is not whether indifferences may be determined or no?
A44682	It is not whether the things Commanded and required be lawful or no?
A44682	Must it be taken for a demonstration of a mans want of honesty and conscience, not be presently of the Doctors Opinion in every thing?
A44682	Nor am I now inquiring whether the things Commanded be lawful or no?
A44682	Nor how far Christians are bound to submit to a restraint of their Christian Liberty?
A44682	Nor whether indifferences may be determined or no?
A44682	Or have we in our Circumstances, any thing to do, by which we may hope to contribute so much towards it as by Prayer?
A44682	Or should they, in that exigency, be still held to it, to drink of that very water or none?
A44682	To take order they shall have no Pastors, no Sacraments, no Assemblies for Worship?
A44682	To the plucking an Ass or Ox out of a Ditch, how much more the souls of men?
A44682	Was not Religion sufficiently guarded and fenced in them?
A44682	Was there ever more true and Cordial reverence in the Worship of God?
A44682	What ground can there be why Christians should not stand upon the same terms now, which they did in the time of Christ and his Apostles?
A44682	What if many of our Ministers think it lawful, and, at some times, a duty to joyn in some of the publick Assemblies?
A44682	What say you to such where the Minister is grosly ignorant of the Principles of Religion, or habitually vicious, and of a profligate life?
A44682	What then would he have us do?
A44682	What, while we are endeavouring?
A44682	When our very Error if we be willing to admit conviction( as we sincerely are could the matter admit it) is not imputable to us for a sin?
A44682	Why may there not be one National Church from the consent in the same Articles of Religion, and the same order of Worship?
A44682	Why should any man be afraid of his duty?
A44682	an Obligation to meet at stated times for that purpose, when they are not met?
A44682	and any other Constitution of a Christian Church impossible, or unlawful?
A44682	and because they will not be so much more than Christians, that they shall not be Christians at all?
A44682	and from which no such weighty reasons do urge to borrow now and then a point?
A44682	and what are they when, through Gods mercy, there appears not the least colour of it?
A44682	any more than the habit, a Monk?
A44682	are these unproportionable penalties even where contempt appears?
A44682	or a Be ● rd, a Philosopher?
A44682	or not to see every consequence which he sees, or thinks he sees?
A44682	or of the truth which makes it known?
A44684	And can there be any other more sacred bond?
A44684	And how absurd were it to pretend love to a Christian upon Christs account, and for his sake, while there is no love to Christ himself?
A44684	And of Pagans, better men than some Christians?
A44684	And reduc''t to such a condition, before which I would prefer the greatest sinless misery in all the world?
A44684	And supposing your guess, in any part, hit right; What if those others sin by Surprize, you by Design?
A44684	And that the works of wickedness are his works?
A44684	And what do you account that but Reform''d primitive Christianity?
A44684	And what sort of love is this, which is made so identical, and the same thing with the very Being, and Nature of God?
A44684	And while this horrid impure malignity is not from God, or like him( far be the thought from us), from whom doth it derive?
A44684	And who is there of us, but professes to be on Gods part in this War?
A44684	And who would not fear, and lament his share in that Wo?
A44684	And would a Christian rejoyce in the disadvantages of his own cause?
A44684	Are you not a Christian?
A44684	Are you not still a man, if you would be no longer a Christian?
A44684	Are you proof against all hurt by another''s sin?
A44684	As in the School( or Church should I call it?)
A44684	But are you then of a Party of which you are sure there are no ill men?
A44684	But can it consist with such love and devotedness to God, to be glad at his being affronted by the sin of any man?
A44684	But how consists it with such purity, to take pleasure in other mens impurities, or make their sin the matter of jest, and raillery?
A44684	But now who can tell, what they should be, or do, in such circumstances as might have befal''n them?
A44684	But what Reputation ought to be of that value with us, as his that bought us with his Blood?
A44684	Can any Party be united within it self, by so sacred tyes, as all true Christians are with the whole body of Christ?
A44684	Can it stand with our duty,& fidelity to him, to be glad that any are foiled, who profess to fight under the same Banner?
A44684	Can their wit added to yours, prove there will be no Judgment- day?
A44684	Do we not know he was for this end manifested, to destroy the works of the Devil?
A44684	Do you not profess subjection to the known rules of the Bible concerning Christian and civil conversation?
A44684	Doth not your Baptismal Covenant( which you are supposed to avow) bind you to as much strictness as any other Christian?
A44684	For what ● ill you do with your humanity?
A44684	For when our Saviour saith, Wo to that man, by whom offence cometh, doth he not also say, Wo to the world because of offences?
A44684	For, I should think, Who made me differ?
A44684	How many do some mens sin dispose to Atheism?
A44684	How repugnant is this to Charity?
A44684	How soon, and easily would a mutual universal Charity redress all?
A44684	If this or that member say, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?
A44684	Is he a wise, or is he not a mad man, that rejoyces he hath an unsound hand or foot, or an ulcerated finger, or toe rotting off from him?
A44684	Is it not the Christian Name that is dishonoured by the scandalous lives of them that bear that name?
A44684	Is it that such are like you, and as bad men as your selves?
A44684	Is this no matter of lamentation to you?
A44684	No?
A44684	Nor, tho''they fall in never so intirely with you in all points of wickedness, will that much mend your matter?
A44684	Or are you not a Protestant?
A44684	Or that there is no God?
A44684	Or will you, here, again say, your unrelatedness to their party, makes you unconcern''d?
A44684	Or, if that performance fail, can their power and yours, defend you against the Almighty?
A44684	Others take their liberty, and why may not I?
A44684	Should it be a solace to me also that there are Devils, who may perhaps be somewhat worse than they or I?
A44684	They are ashamed, you glory?
A44684	They in an act, you in a course?
A44684	They in one kind of lowdness, you in every kind?
A44684	They return, you persevere?
A44684	They sin and are penitent, you sin and are obdurate?
A44684	Through thy Knowledg shall a weak Brother perish and be destroyed, for whom Christ died?
A44684	To rejoyce in so hateful a thing, is to do that mad part, to cast about firebrands, arrows, and death, and say, Am not I in sport?
A44684	What Party should you be of, that professes less strictness?
A44684	What can now be more contrary to the pure, and holy love, which shall resemble, and be the image of his, than to rejoyce in iniquity?
A44684	What if harden you in it?
A44684	What if it encourage you to sin too?
A44684	What if they be not like you?
A44684	What is it now to rejoyce in another man''s sin?
A44684	What more lax rule of Morals have you than other Christians?
A44684	What would be thought of him, who, in battel, rejoyceth to see those of his own side fall, here one, and there one?
A44684	What?
A44684	Which they that possess, how should they adore the God of all grace?
A44684	Who but sinners his Souldiers?
A44684	Who doubts, but there may be found, of the Roman Communion, better men than some Protestants?
A44684	Who made you of a distinct party?
A44684	Whom doth it resemble?
A44684	Whose Laws are they that are broken?
A44684	Why was not I the example?
A44684	Will it so indeed?
A44684	Will you say you are unrelated to him too?
A44684	and in the dishonour and reproach of the very name which he himself bears?
A44684	and to think there is nothing in Religion?
A44684	or are they not the laws of Christ?
A44684	or have no concern with Him?
A44684	or that is glad a Fire or the Plague is broken out in the Neighbourhood, that equally endangers his own house and family, yea and his own life?
A44684	the Laws of this or that party?
A44665	A Parliament( at least) not Adjourn or be Prorogued without being dissolved?
A44665	And I further inquire, by what power they can be bound which Christ hath not given?
A44665	And are we alwaies to sit still thus?
A44665	And can we think that a Duty lying upon us, which, in our circumstances, makes a far greater Duty impractible?
A44665	And if indeed they judge that Consequence strong, I would fain know what hurt they can think it doth them?

A44665	Why should any man be afraid of his duty?
A44665	an Obligation to meet at stated times for that purpose, when they are not met?
A44665	and any other Constitution of a Christian Church impossible, or unlawful?
A44665	and because they will not be so much more than Christians, that they shall not be Christians at all?
A44665	and from which no such weighty reasons do urge to borrow now and then a point?
A44665	and what are they when, through Gods mercy, there appears not the least colour of it?
A44665	any more than the habit, a Monk?
A44665	are these unproportionable penalties even where contempt appears?
A44665	or a Beard, a Philosopher?
A44665	or not to see every consequence which he sees, or thinks he sees?
A44665	or of the truth which makes it known?
A44698	And again, Have you not broken your Baptismal Vow?
A44698	And consider, were these Christian Romans on whom the Apostle presses this duty never Baptiz''d, think you?
A44698	And doth not that signifie such a refusal to be a shameful thing?
A44698	And how will you lift up your heads at last in the great day?
A44698	And if you say, Wherein have I robbed him?
A44698	And is there not a solemnity belonging to all such transactions?
A44698	And that he discerns it, if there be any heart among us that is not sincere in this thing?
A44698	And will you not know him for your Owner?
A44698	Are you about yielding your selves to God?
A44698	Are you always to be Christians, only by another''s Christianity, not by your own?
A44698	Are you prepar''d to contest with your Maker?
A44698	But do you now know with whom you have to do?
A44698	But here I desire you to consider, Are you never to become the Lords by your own choice?
A44698	But what man hath this power?
A44698	But what sinners?
A44698	But what then?
A44698	But will it content you to be so only taught by him?
A44698	Can you love him?
A44698	Did he demand of thee any unreasonable thing?
A44698	Do we not know all things in us are naked and manifest to him with whom we have to do?
A44698	Do you indeed find your selves willing?
A44698	For do we not know that eyes which are as a flame of fire, behold us, and pierce into our very Souls?
A44698	For every thing due and devoted to God, hath a sacredness upon it; and consider, were you not, upon his just claim, in your Baptism devoted to him?
A44698	For if there were any such thing, it must be by God''s own immediate gift, and vouchsafement; How otherwise should a man be made infallible?
A44698	For while that remains, will you ever mind him?
A44698	For will you not give him his own?
A44698	For, have you ever had a business of greater importance to transact in all your days?
A44698	For, how can you but be his, who of his meer pleasure hath rais''d you out of nothing?
A44698	Hast thou been treating with the Great God, the God of thy life, and not agreed?
A44698	Have you agreed?
A44698	He that teaches man knowledge, shall not he know?
A44698	How are we otherwise to dispose of our selves?
A44698	How we are to consider or look upon God in this affair?
A44698	If I appeal to you in the very thing I am speaking of, should you not yield your selves to God whose Creatures you are?
A44698	If we may not yield our selves to the service of sin, what are we then to do with our selves?
A44698	If we say to you, Ought you not to live according to his Will that gave you breath?
A44698	If you were to dispose of an Estate, or a Child, would you not have all things be as express, and clear, as may be?
A44698	Is it possible there should be now among us any dissenting Vote?
A44698	My Friends, shall we now do so, when we are call''d upon to yield our selves to God?
A44698	Or are only the matters of your Soul, and wherein you have to do with the great God, to be slightly managed?
A44698	Or, Who shall descend into the deep, to bring Christ again from the dead?
A44698	Perhaps some may say, But what needs all this?
A44698	Shall every one say in his own heart, For my part, I will, and so will I, and so will I?
A44698	Shall we then all agree upon this thing?
A44698	Shall we think it fit to play or trifle with it, as is the common wo nt?
A44698	Shall we unite in one resolution, We will be the Lords?
A44698	Should you not above all things fear and love, and trust and obey him that made you and all things?
A44698	Should you not do as you would be done unto?
A44698	Should you not take more care for your immortal Souls, than for your mortal flesh?
A44698	So long Lord, have I liv''d in this World of thine, which thou mad''st, and not I, as if I might do in it, and with my self, what I pleas''d?
A44698	So that the controversy between him and you hath been, who shall be God?
A44698	To what purpose should we do again a thing that hath once been so solemnly done?
A44698	Were you not on such a day, in such a place demanded and claim''d in my Name?
A44698	Were you not told, were you not convinc''t you ought to yield your selves to me, and yet you did it not?
A44698	What doth it signifie or intend, but to recal Apostate Creatures back again to God?
A44698	What is his by former right, and by after- consent, and self- resignation, shall it not be govern''d by him?
A44698	What is the Christian Religion you profess, but a State of devotedness to God, under the conduct, and thorough the mediation of Christ?
A44698	What will become of you if you can not obey this Law?
A44698	What wilt thou do with thy self?
A44698	When you account duty to your Prince obliges you to give to Caesar the things that are Caesar''s, will you not give God the things that are God''s?
A44698	Where is your right, where is your power, to stand against me in this contest?
A44698	Where wilt thou lay thy hated head?
A44698	Who among us can have the confidence to stand forth and say, I will be none of the Lords?
A44698	Will a man rob God?
A44698	Will he that bids a poor wretch yield it self, reject or destroy when it doth so?
A44698	Will not this be remembred hereafter?
A44698	Will the God of Truth say and unsay the same thing?
A44698	Would any man be content to go with this writ upon his Forehead from day to day?
A44698	Wretched Creature, whither now wilt thou go?
A44698	You have refus''d him his own creature; How high a crime was this?
A44698	You will live under his care, for will he not take care of his own, those that are of his own House?
A44698	You will not need to say, Who shall ascend into Heaven, to bring down Christ from above?
A44698	and before this God the judge of all?
A44698	and how great the iniquity was of your former course?
A44698	and is not that sufficient?
A44698	and would not they insist to have it so, with whom you deal in any such affair?
A44698	desire after him?
A44698	especially if you were to dispose of your self; as in the Conjugal Covenant?
A44698	have you not forgot it for the most part ever since?
A44698	how should this startle you?
A44698	if it be a subject capable of Laws and Government, as such consent shews it to be?
A44698	or delight in him?
A44698	or to be huddled up in confusion?
A44698	or to be slid over in silent intimations?
A44698	or what doth this yielding our selves to God signifie?
A44698	or whom on Earth can I desire besides thee?
A44698	were we not once devoted and given up to God in Baptism?
A44698	wherein you are to make over your Soul to him?
A44698	will you offer God a carcass?
A44698	yea or than a piece of Ground, or an Horse, or a Sheep, about which how punctual and express are your Bargains and Contracts wo nt to be?
A44698	you should come, smiting upon the thigh, and saying within your selves, What have I done?
A44701	And another will be added, Is there any thing originally in God, not essential to him?
A44701	And are they no way distinct?
A44701	And doth he give any better account of infinite Wisdom and Power?
A44701	And hath the Creation nothing in it of real Being?
A44701	And if so, why such Union should spoil mutual Conversation and Delight?
A44701	And is his Will the self- same undistinguishable Perfection, in him, with his Knowledg?
A44701	And let him think away those, whether still he doth not presently conceive new?
A44701	And now, thinks he, will my easy admiring Readers, that read me only, and not him, say, What a Baffle hath he given the Enquirer?
A44701	And see whether this will not make all Religion cease too?
A44701	And what is that?
A44701	And which is a Difference with a Witness, in his Questions and Answers; He asks how many Causes are there in God?
A44701	And who apprehends not in what latitude of sense the humane Nature is One, which is common to Adam, and his Posterity?
A44701	And why, Sir, doth this argue him to have forgot the Question?
A44701	And, say I, but why, Sir, are not the three( supposed) created Spirits intelligent Substances?
A44701	Before there was any, was there not an infinitude of Being in the eternal Godhead?
A44701	But doth it tell us what it is?
A44701	But how can he soberly say that?
A44701	But how knows he they are not all Infinite?
A44701	But if any of them happen upon the Enquirer''s Book too, then must they say, how scurvily doth this Matter turn upon himself?
A44701	But if they are distinct, they are distinct, what?
A44701	But say I, how know you?
A44701	But suppose them created with mutual aptitudes to Union, and united, what should hinder but they may continue united, without being confounded?
A44701	But when the Discourse was only of a natural Union, what, in the Name of Wonder, made you dream of a Christmass- Pye?
A44701	But where lies the danger of all this?
A44701	But why can there not?
A44701	But, say I, Do you know what infinite is, or can you comprehend it?
A44701	Doth he not know that Physician and Philosopher, and his Followers, earnestly contended for what he says no Man ever pretended to?
A44701	For I appeal to what Sense he hath left himself, whether Power alone be God exclusive of Wisdom and Goodness?
A44701	For doth he not know all that he can do?
A44701	For what do they modify?
A44701	For who can doubt he knows himself?
A44701	Hath a Man no Substance?
A44701	Have they any thing in re correspondent to them, or have they not?
A44701	He says, How can it be?
A44701	How can any thing be divisible into parts which it hath not in it?
A44701	How can he either affirm or deny of another what he doth not understand?
A44701	How doth he know they can not?
A44701	How inconsiderate a Prevaricator was he that took upon him the present part of a Considerer, so to represent him?
A44701	I know what is commonly said of extrinsecal Denominations: But are such Denominations true, or false?
A44701	I leave him to compound that Difference with his abler Considerator, Whether one Inch and two Inches be equal?
A44701	I say, how can it but be?
A44701	I say, well, and what then?
A44701	I say, why can it not be?
A44701	I would ask this my learned Antagonist, have saying, and not saying, the same signification?
A44701	If contrary Natures might be so united, why not much rather like Natures?
A44701	If not, what is become of his adequate Conception?
A44701	If so, how are they distinguisht?
A44701	If they can not, I would know why?
A44701	In a Series of Discourse, must the beginning touch the end, leaving out what is to come between, and connect both parts?
A44701	In short; Is it the Thing he quarrels with as singular, or the Word?
A44701	Is any Man, according to the ordinary way of speaking, said to hold what is not his formed Judgment?
A44701	Is he a Non- entity?
A44701	Is he a shadow?
A44701	Is his Knowledg, throughout, the same with his effective Power?
A44701	Is it because he knew himself, what he would have others believe?
A44701	Is it because the first is infinite, therefore the two other can not be so?
A44701	Is there no Argument but à pari?
A44701	Is this his demonstration of the impossibility of a Trinity in the Godhead?
A44701	Is this the way to sift out Truth?
A44701	Let any sober Understanding judg, will the same Notion agree to them all?
A44701	Might you not plainly see, he here argued à fortiori?
A44701	Now can he be thought all this while to mean an absolute equality?
A44701	Or hath he no Essence?
A44701	Or is his Essence a Body?
A44701	Or is his Essence a Spirit?
A44701	Or that Society not to be delicious?
A44701	Or that divers other Commentators upon Aristotle, have some abetted, others as vehemently oppos''d them in it?
A44701	Or that''t is Novel?
A44701	Or to whom is it dangerous?
A44701	Or whether Soul and Body united, make nothing different from either, or both disunited?
A44701	Or whether a Man be only such a thing as a Pye?
A44701	Or why might not a Pudding serve as well, if made up of several Ingredients?
A44701	Or will you say the Being of the Creature is the Being of God?
A44701	Qui pauca respicit,& c. But who so bold as —?
A44701	Substances?
A44701	Suppose the Father infinite, can not the other two be infinite also, for ought he knows?
A44701	The Question is, as he now states it himself, why may not three intelligent Substances — be united?
A44701	This therefore he must say, or he saith nothing to the purpose; And why now is it impossible?
A44701	This was the Question, not what John, or Thomas, or James such a One thought?
A44701	Was there never a real Trinitarian in the World before?
A44701	Well; but what is that distinct Modus?
A44701	What a Cyclopick understanding is this?
A44701	What an ignorant Man is this Mr. — to talk of Soul and Body, as both intelligent Substances?
A44701	What if there be no exact Parallel?
A44701	What then serve Mediums for?
A44701	What, did he never hear of an Averroist in the World?
A44701	When they are said to be Modes of Subsistence, what is it that subsists?
A44701	Whether a Trinity in the Godhead be a possible thing?
A44701	Who sees not, it were a Contradiction to suppose them, the same still, and not the same?
A44701	Why hath he only the privilege of exemption from being compell''d by truth?
A44701	Why?
A44701	Will he pretend never to have read any that make Love( as it were intercurrent between the two first) the Character of the third?
A44701	Will he say the former is a singular Opinion?
A44701	or Accidents?
A44701	〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉] How many effects, or things caused?
A45496	Again, Behold,( saith he) the Kingdom of God is within you: Who will not so interpret it?
A45496	Again, who will deny God to be a body, though he be a Spirit?
A45496	And indeed who among them all can say, that he is not beholding to him?
A45496	Are any willing to have evil and corrupt manners corrected and amended?
A45496	Are there who reverence the Verses of the old Poets, and certain divine answers of the Oracles?
A45496	Are there, who would fain know and acquaint themselves with the ancient Rites and Ceremonies observed in or about the sacrifices of the Gods?
A45496	At verò cui libido domina est, in quo coeno dedecoris volutatur?
A45496	Aut quae doctrinae Religio est, non docenda desiderare, sed ● esideratis coac ● rvare doctrinam?
A45496	Besides, who can express how great admiration, glory, and favour, he had amongst all men?
A45496	But doth he know no other Sacrifices?
A45496	But perhaps he was not happy in his Scholars?
A45496	But perhaps, his assertions were woven only with knotty arguments?
A45496	But silence being made Athanasius demanded, whether any one there present had known Arsenius?
A45496	But what can be imagined that the impostor should have in his eye, in adding this particle to Polycarp''s Epistle?
A45496	Cur parvuli in Christo, 〈 ◊ 〉 lactentis errorem sequimini?
A45496	Do they speak any thing to the purpose?
A45496	Do we not see with how great a burden of Gold, Silver and Rayment, the Most sweet Doctor and blessed Matyr, Cyprian departed out of Egypt?
A45496	Five Books against Marcion; of whom Eusebius reports, that meeting Polycarp, and asking him; Dost thou know us?
A45496	Have any a mind to understand what were the Doctrines of those Hereticks, who in its infancy and first rise disquieted the Church of God?
A45496	He hath a most elegant resemblance of mans body unto the earth out of which it was taken: what is the blood, saith he, but a red humor?
A45496	He is( saith he) accounted the chief among the Latins, for who more learned then this Man?
A45496	He replyeth, whence is this Tradition?
A45496	He that forsakes the Chair of Peter, on which the Church was founded, doth he hope himself to be in the Church?
A45496	He willed him to read and search the Prophets, and to joyn prayer thereunto: Asking him again what Master he should make use of?
A45496	How dost thou desire to be heard of God, when thou hearest not thy self?
A45496	Ierom mentions these books contra gentes, as distinct from his Apology: quid, inquit, Tertulliano eruditius?
A45496	If he were the forger but of some only,''t is demanded of which?
A45496	Lastly, writing to Polycarp, he thus speaks, Attend unto your Bishop, that God may to you: what had he forgot, that he wrote to a Bishop?
A45496	Moreover, as we have said, the dead also have been raised and continued with us many years: And what shall I say?
A45496	Non multum aberat a quinquaginta annis,& ideò dicebaut ei, quinquagi ● ta annorum nondum es,& Abraham vidisti?
A45496	Now if the Oeconomy of his Passion be shewn to have obtained, and to obtain so great power, how great will it be at his glorious appearing?
A45496	Now the question may be what use of it Eusebius means?
A45496	Of Hereticks, thus; Quis Doctrinae profectus est, placida magis quàm docenda conquirere?
A45496	Oh; my dear brethren, what shall we answer ● nto these things?
A45496	Quanta ergò perturbatio eorum est, quanta calamitas, qui suprà memoratis malis serviunt?
A45496	Quid ergò mirum, si& ego sapientiam saecularem propter eloquii venustatem& membrorum pulchritudinem, de aneillâ& captivâ Israelitidem facere cupio?
A45496	Quid verò infaelicius ebrietatis dominatu?
A45496	Speaking of the mystery of the two natures in Christ; What need is there( saith he) of dispute and strife about words?
A45496	That the Plants and Trees spring downward, that the snow and rain and hail fall upward upon the earth?
A45496	This is indeed said by Mr. Dallee, but how doth it appear that he is the man?
A45496	Ventri ultra capacitatem infundere, sensuirationem a dimere, non loqui, non meminisse, non stare,& mortem quandam naturae incolumi imperare?
A45496	Vt liquor Ambrosius cor mitigat, imbuit palatum, Sedem animae penetrat, mentem fovet,& pererrat artus?
A45496	What a match is that of two Believers, of one hope, one vow, one discipline, the same service?
A45496	What greater pleasure than the loathing of pleasure it self?
A45496	What shall we think, saith he, of them who give out that there are Antipodes walking opposite unto us?
A45496	What should I speak of the Administration of the Word?
A45496	What so hard to be done, that he made not to seem easie?
A45496	What therefore is pure, what worthy of God?
A45496	What was there so difficult to be perswaded, that by the force of disputation he cleared not up?
A45496	Whence should we so learn mercy or patience?
A45496	Whether Fortunatianus( sometime a Bishop) who had sacrificed unto Idols, might challenge or take unto himself his office again?
A45496	Whether Novatian the Schismatick could or might baptize or no?
A45496	Whether a Stage- Player, persevering in the exercise of that unseemly Art, ought to communicate?
A45496	Whether those who had been baptized by Hereticks, upon their return unto the Catholick Church, ought again to be baptized?
A45496	Who among Christians did not reverence him as almost a Prophet; among Philosophers, as a Master?
A45496	Who any way religious did not fly unto him from the utmost parts of the World?
A45496	Who should comfort Christians tenderly affected with their losses, or rather those of little faith, with the hope of future things?
A45496	Who should raise up so many Martyrs with divine exhortations?
A45496	Who( saith he) doth not wish to suffer that he may purchase the whole favour of God, and all pardon from him by the compensation of his Blood?
A45496	Would any know the decrees or opinions of the old Philosophers?
A45496	and coming, desires not to suffer?
A45496	consider the several qualities; the muscles as clods; the bones as rocks or stones; also about the Paps, certain pebbles?
A45496	how constantly maintain the purity of our faith?
A45496	of Cicero, concerning Plato) that he had rather err with Origen, than be of a right judgement with others?
A45496	quid acutius?
A45496	quàm dedecorosus autem est furentium motus, temeritatis impetus, odiorum stimulus, livoris anxietas?
A45496	responsum,( inquit) breviter habeto: Quis nesciat& in Moyse& in Prophetarum voluminibus quaedam assumpta de gentilium libris?
A45496	so that this book alone is abundantly sufficient to convince the pertinacy of the Gentiles?
A45496	than the contempt of the whole World?
A45496	than true Liberty, than a sound or good Conscience, than a sufficient Life, then no fear of death?
A45496	the most Learned of all the Ancients: in whose books, saith he, what is there to be found unlearned?
A45496	what Authors doth he not read?
A45496	what is the flesh; but earth turned into its figures?
A45496	which of their disciplines doth he not touch?
A45496	who ever more happy?
A45496	who having inquired, comes not unto us?
A45496	who more exercised in things both divine and humane?
A45496	wilt thou have the Lord to be mindful of thee when thou prayest seeing thou art not mindful of thy self?
A45496	within you i. e. in your own hand and power; if you hear, and do the command of God?
A45496	yea, what not extracted out of the very bowels of Philosophy?
A45496	— Hath any one of the Philosophers either performed these things, or can he, if he will?
A44673	1. Who it is that claims the Power here spoken of?
A44673	1. Who it is that claims, and asserts to himself this Power here spoken of?
A44673	And What is their Life?
A44673	And because we can not be positive, Will we therefore say or think, there can be no such thing, or nothing but dull inactivity in those Regions?
A44673	And can you think to be related to him, upon other terms?
A44673	And consider, how darest thou live otherwise in this Flesh, in this Earthly House, whereof he keeps the Keys, and can fetch thee out at his pleasure?
A44673	And do we consider in what hand this Power is lodg''d?
A44673	And do you not know that upon these ▪ you may?
A44673	And dost thou not know there must be to this purpose, an express transaction between him and thee?
A44673	And for the support of that, in the most principal Doctrines, and Laws of it, what is our prospect?
A44673	And hath this no pleasant comfortable aspect upon a lost World?
A44673	And how absurd were it to prefer this Temporary Kingdom to the Eternal one, and present serviceableness to this, to perpetual service in the other?
A44673	And how much more?
A44673	And if for a few, why not for many?
A44673	And is that all?
A44673	And should we complain, That he is put early, into a Station of much higher Dignity, than we thought of?
A44673	And the same reason always remaining, why not for alwaies?
A44673	And they that rest not Night or Day from such high and glorious employments, have they nothing to do?
A44673	And was this the end a reasonable Spirit, was made for, when, without reason, sense were alike capable of the same sort of gratifications?
A44673	And what a perverse distorted Mind is that, which can so much as wish it should be otherwise?
A44673	And what else could any unbrib''d understanding conclude, or conceive?
A44673	And what now remains to be ascertain''d?
A44673	And what then, if we were required to draw up our petition?
A44673	And what?
A44673	And when we are told of many Heavens, above all which our Lord Jesus is said to have ascended; are all those Heavens, only empty solitudes?
A44673	And whence should so common an impression be, but from a cause as common?
A44673	And who are we?
A44673	And why should we suppose them not replenish''t with glorious Inhabitants?)
A44673	And would any one that hath a Child he delights in, wish him to be a Child always, and only capable of Childish things?
A44673	And, Madam, who could have a more pleasant Retrospect, upon former days, than y ● u?
A44673	Are we to make a less judicious estimate of the Works of God?
A44673	Because that other World is Hades, and we see nothing, shall we make little, or next to nothing of it?
A44673	But do they think to laugh away the Power of the Son of God?
A44673	But do we not know God hath given him a Name above every Name?
A44673	But how absurd were it to reckon the means of greater importance than the end it self?
A44673	But how remote is it from you, upon Consideration, to wish your self back, into your juvenile State, and Circumstances?
A44673	But how?
A44673	But is there not equal reason to fear, that before the Day of Mercy come, there may be a nearer Day of Wrath, coming?
A44673	But who sees not that Religion as such, hath a final reference to a future state?
A44673	But will God be mocked?
A44673	But yet more distinctly consider, why doth he here represent himself under this Character, He that liveth and was dead?
A44673	Did secure Sinners consider this, how he beholds them with a flame in his Eye, and the Key in his hand, would they dare still to trifle?
A44673	Do but consider him who makes the Discovery, and who would not expect from him the utmost efforts of Love and Goodness?
A44673	Do not we?
A44673	Doth it not signify infinite unlimited Power, and Goodness?
A44673	Doth not this World owe so much to him?
A44673	Doth this World owe less to him, that bears these Keys, than Egypt did to Joseph, when thus the Royal word went forth in reference to him?
A44673	Either obliging, or not restraining them, requiring, or licensing them to do this or that?
A44673	Enquire we, Do our Hearts repine at this Law?
A44673	Had this been Redemption?
A44673	Have you never said if thou go not with me, carry me not hence?
A44673	He thought not himself concern''d to advise with any of us, about it, who, as his Counsellor, should instruct him?
A44673	How bold an affront to their Soveraign Lord?
A44673	How hopeful their Youth?
A44673	How pleasant and diverting might their Childhood have been?
A44673	How useful their Riper Age?
A44673	I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no Man lift up his hand or foot in all the Land of Egypt?
A44673	If there were but one single Instance hereof in an Age, who would not, with trembling expect the Issue?
A44673	In the mean time, Is this Emmanuel''s Land?
A44673	Is it no part of Christian watchfulness to wait for such an hour?
A44673	Is it not fit every one should know under whose Government they live?
A44673	Is it that he was to Die at all?
A44673	Is not, God, the name of a Being incapable of limitation?
A44673	Now, what do we mean to let our Souls hang in doubt?
A44673	Only our own intervening death?
A44673	Or can make it fit that the nobler and more excellent Nature, should be eternally subservient to the meaner, and more ignoble?
A44673	Or can we live as if we thought so, without reproaching our Maker?
A44673	Or doth he not observe?
A44673	Or if it displease us, that our Relatives are not, by some special dispensation, excepted from the common Law of Mortality?
A44673	Or is it a reasonable imagination, that by how much we are more capable of action, we shall be the more useless, and have the less to do?
A44673	Or will we adventure to say, not denying his right, he did not use it well in this case?
A44673	Shall meer pity towards this World greaten it above the other?
A44673	VVhat Law, what Equity?
A44673	Was it not absolute, and without limitation?
A44673	What a faint, impotent, languishing thing is our Religion, how doth it dwindle into spritless, dead form without it?
A44673	What a remarkable, significant, after that, is this?
A44673	What are we now to look for upon such a Foundation, so firmly laid, and fully believed?
A44673	What can tempt thee to stand out against such Power, and such Grace?
A44673	What can that mean but that you are to receive him, and resign your selves?
A44673	What can we now be unwilling of, that he would have us be, or do?
A44673	What exempt jurisdiction, can we pretend our selves to belong unto?
A44673	What is it that we find fault with in the removal of this or that person, that was near, and delightful to us?
A44673	What it is about which this claimed Power is to be conversant?
A44673	What now can be surer than this?
A44673	What pretence can we have not to think others as apt to make the same request for them, and theirs?
A44673	What sort of Power it is that this emblematical expression, signifies to belong to him?
A44673	What would we wish to Mankind a sinning immortality on this Earth, before which a wise Heathen profest to prefer one Day vertuously spent?
A44673	What?
A44673	What?
A44673	When we find a connection between Death, and Judgment, how will they contrive to dis- joyn them?
A44673	Whereas that rational, religious, Soul- composing Thought, shall we receive good things at the hand of God, and not also evil things?
A44673	Wherefore( says Holy Job) do the wicked live, become old, yea are mighty in power?
A44673	Whose Arithmetick will suffice to tell how many they are?
A44673	Why are we allowed a place and a time here?
A44673	Why is not this World a flaming Theatre?
A44673	Wilt thou accept me for thine, and resign thy self as mine?
A44673	Would we not presently be for quelling, and suppressing it,& easily yield to be non- suited, without more ado?
A44673	Would we wish there should never be a judgment Day?
A44673	Would we wish this World to be the everlasting Stage, of indignities and affronts to him that made it?
A44673	and that all the wise& righteous Councels of Heaven should be ranverst& overturned, only to comport with our terrene& sensual inclinations?
A44673	and that he should be his, absolutely, and be dispos''d of by him, at his Pleasure?
A44673	and when those many were expired, why not for as many more?
A44673	as the Mother of a numerous and hopeful Offspring?
A44673	by whose Beneficence, under whose Protection, and in whose name they may act so, or so, and by whose Authority?
A44673	can any thing now, be more certain than that?
A44673	or any Relatives of ours?
A44673	or do we not?
A44673	or for what?
A44673	or that he Dy''d so soon?
A44673	or that when all the Creation must be subject to him, wilt except thy self?
A44673	or upon what terms?
A44673	than why he had?
A44673	that God should be a God to him entirely, and without reserve?
A44673	that dar''st dispute his Title?
A44673	to put it into express words?
A44673	unto which, if we appeal, can we suppose it so untrue to its self, as not to assert its own Superiority?
A44673	what?
A44673	who is more fitly qualifyed to Judge, than he that hath these Keys?
A44673	whom all the Power of Heaven and Earth hath no right to touch?
A44673	whose Vranography to describe how far that is?
A44673	why do we not drive things for them, to an issue?
A57346	12?
A57346	17?
A57346	19, 20?
A57346	19?
A57346	37?
A57346	40, 41?
A57346	4?
A57346	5?
A57346	6. Who could sleep quietly in his Bed, with a drawn Sword hanging over his Head by a twine thread?
A57346	7, 8, 9?
A57346	9?
A57346	A despised Inferiour, to stand or fall, to come or goe at your pleasure, taken in, cast out, used a little, and then laid aside?
A57346	Ah, What a Curse is this, to become Panders, and Devils, to draw themselves and others into Hell more securely?
A57346	Ah, What is Man without Divine Grace?
A57346	And how sad is it afterwards( in stead of Ingenuity to acknowledge) to Prostitute their Gifts and Parts to make Defences for their Enormities?
A57346	And if thou art no part of the Body, How darest thou make Challenge to the Head, by miscalling thy self a Christian?
A57346	And is not this a sign of God''s Curse, impending over their Families, in respect of Long Life?
A57346	And there were four Leprous Men at the entring in at the Gate, and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we dye,& c?
A57346	And what comfort in the Having, or in Using of these Temporals, without the Grace and Blessing of God?
A57346	And what comfort to Feast and Surfet thereby?
A57346	And what do you mean by Wicked Houses?
A57346	And what may we think of Parties and Sectaries, Are they not greater Enemies to the Church then profane Families?
A57346	And what more vain and carnal in these Opinionative times?
A57346	And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
A57346	And will you be cruel to the Souls of your Families, because Ministers are sent of God, to Preach Faith and Repentance, Mercy and Forgiveness to you?
A57346	Are not Ahabs and Jezebels sins upon the File of Reproach?
A57346	Are not Children the divided pieces of your selves?
A57346	Are not these the notorious Enemies to Christianity, whose Life is a Flat Contradiction to their Baptism?
A57346	Are they not Enemies to the Church, as well as to themselves, who willfully and wickedly Excommunicate themselves from God''s Ordinances?
A57346	Are they not the scandal and shame of Christianity?
A57346	Are you Friends to the Church?
A57346	But is this all?
A57346	But is this the worst of their misery?
A57346	But what little good hath this Wicked Rich Man done to Church or State, to Strangers or Relations, or to his own Family, where Cbarity should begin?
A57346	But where are the Fruits?
A57346	Can it end with time, can Death and the Grave put an end to it?
A57346	Can that Man or Family have the Blessing of God upon them and theirs, which bow down to the Gods of Silver and Gold?
A57346	Can we say properly that such as these are Christians?
A57346	Doe they not hereby, recommend those sins to be committed by their children, which they, by reason of their Impotency, can not commit?
A57346	For if they be for Real Membership with the Church of Christ, why do they not hold fast their Christian Profession in Publick?
A57346	Friends?
A57346	How can such Men and Women as these be in God''s Favour?
A57346	How few Christians keep Holy the Lords Day, after Service in the Publick Assembly?
A57346	How few Families in Cities, Towns, or Villages do make any better Account of the Lords Day, then Almanack Holy Days?
A57346	How great is thy Stain, and Stench left behind thee?
A57346	How many Halts do some Make, when they should Goe to the Church, to Sanctify the Lord''s- Day in their Conscionable Attendance upon God''s Ordinances?
A57346	How many give the First Fruits of their Youth to Vanity and Wildness?
A57346	How sensual, how base, how brutish in choice and affection?
A57346	How shall we Judge of the Churches encrease, if not from Parochial Religion in Families?
A57346	How soon would the best part of the World Decay, upon the Corruption of Families?
A57346	How will his abused Riches rise up in Judgment against him?
A57346	If this Union were observed, How much more Happy would Families, Relations, Parishes, Magistrates, Ministers, Kingdoms and Churches be?
A57346	If thou saist, thou art of the Body: I demand then, what is thy Office in the Body?
A57346	Is it Health?
A57346	Is it better then your Goods?
A57346	Is it likely that Preachers should do any good, when Parents by open Profaneness, pull down what they set up?
A57346	Is it likely, That Heads of Families should be truly Devout in the Church, and Exercise no Religion at home?
A57346	Is it not Cursed for knowing Persons to hide, extenuate and plead for Sin?
A57346	Is it not a sign of God''s Displeasure, when the World usurps Power over Spiritual and Heavenly things?
A57346	Is it not matter of discontent and sorrow, that the Seed- time for Corporal Bread, is stopt by some rude wicked fellows, in the Neighbourhood?
A57346	Is it not of an active, infecting, prevailing nature?
A57346	Is it your Name and Reputation that is dear to you?
A57346	Is it your Name?
A57346	Is it your Vocation or Employment?
A57346	Is not Christ himself Lord of this Harvest, who is Judge of the World?
A57346	Is not Sin allways with us, and diffuseth it self into all places where we live?
A57346	Is not Sin the Plague of the Heart?
A57346	Is not this Treason against Heaven, to Clip God''s Coin, his Gifts, to Guild their own Dross, their Sins, to make them Currant in the World?
A57346	Is not this to Justify that which Christ came to Condemn, than which what is more vile and abominable?
A57346	Is your Health dear unto you( O ye wicked Prayer- less Families?)
A57346	Long Life?
A57346	Must Religion be a Stranger, or some soft Guest, who comes but seldom to see you, whose company, after a while, becomes fastidious?
A57346	O what a misery is it for an Old Sinner to begin to Live, when he is ready to Dye?
A57346	O what a sad account is every Wicked Man like to make?
A57346	O what a sad thing is it to see strong sins in feeble Age, Sins in the Meridian when Life is Setting?
A57346	O what pitty is it, that obscure Tippling- houses should pick and pilfer any one Member of a Congregation from the House of God?
A57346	O ye Irreligious Families, What will you do?
A57346	O ye Parents, Would you be Blessings or Curses to your Families?
A57346	Or, 7. and Lastly, Is it your Posterity?
A57346	Otherwise, that might well be said, which was in that great Instance; I have need to — come to thee, and comest thou to me?
A57346	Parts and Endowments?
A57346	Quibusannis potest saturariaeternitas, cui nullus est finis?
A57346	The truth is, Wicked Men do not use Riches, but their Riches use them: And how?
A57346	Think upon it, and tell me what is Dear to your own Persons; Is it any, or all of these particulars that I shall speak of?
A57346	Thou hast not brought me the small Cattel of thy burnt- offerings,& c. Have ye offered unto me sacrifiee and offerings,& c?
A57346	VVhat a Bitter Curse is it, to VVork out thy Damnation with that Health, wherewith God hath commanded thee to work out thy Salvation?
A57346	VVhat a Curse is it, to Sacrifice That to the Devil and the VVorld, which in Holy Baptism thou hast solemnly Dedicated and Devoted to God''s VVorship?
A57346	VVhat a Curse is it?
A57346	VVhat then shall be done with those Trees that bring forth evil fruit?
A57346	VVhy should he suffer Infinite and Eternal Punishment, for Finite and Temporary sins?
A57346	Was it not hence, that the Roman Empire suffered so much, namely, from their Cateline, Brutus, Cassius, Sylla, Marius, and such like wicked fellows?
A57346	Were it not just with God to disinherit all these Worldlings of True Happiness, who place it here below?
A57346	What Comfort in that Health which is the Undoing of the Soul to all Eternity?
A57346	What Comfort in that healthy Body, which is made a sink of Sin, and slave to every noisom Lust?
A57346	What Fruit can be expected from it, How can the Seed of the word and a wicked heart agree?
A57346	What a Curse is it to make the Mammon of this World a Christians God?

A57346	What is Christianity?
A57346	What is a Golden Head and a Stony Heart?
A57346	What made Cains Countenance fall, the Second Man, and Heir Apparent to the World?
A57346	What profit or pleasure in that abundance which will not suffer the Rich to sleep?
A57346	What profit will there be at the Day of Judgment, of Names of Christians, and live like Insidels and Heathens?
A57346	What shall we say of Debauched Prodigals, Harlots, Hectors at Drunken and Filthy Meetings?
A57346	What shall we say of Loiterers, Travellers, Tatlers going from House to House?
A57346	What think you of Errours and Heresies, tending to the subverting of Christianity?
A57346	What would you have Religion to be?
A57346	What would you make of true Piety, What would you have Christianity to be?
A57346	What?
A57346	What?
A57346	Who are these Wicked?
A57346	Who can purge that away, which defileth the Souls of Men?
A57346	Who trembleth not, to be under Gods Ordinances without a blessing; what heart dreads not to be subject to Gods Curse?
A57346	Who would lead a Wicked Life, if he were sensible of his Misery, and the Curse of God upon the House of the Wicked?
A57346	Who would live in the condition of a wicked Man?
A57346	Who would not be afraid to hear the blessing pronounc''d, and have no share in it?
A57346	Who would think that Sabbath- Profanation were so shameless in Families called Christian?
A57346	Why do Ignorant, Loose, Worldly, Careless, Prayerless Families, cast off their Duty upon sureties for the Christian Education of their Children?
A57346	Why do they not Keep their Baptismal Covenant, to holy and constant Fellowship with Christ and his Church in their Families?
A57346	Why should a poor excuse hinder Men and Women from the Church, which must not from the Market?
A57346	Why wilt thou O Professor of Christianity, live in thy Family, As without God in the World?
A57346	Will it not awaken the most presuming sinner, out of the[ Mare Mortuum] or Dead Sea of Security?
A57346	Will it not enter into your hearts, will you not awake to consider, That the Fire of God''s Wrath is entred into your Houses?
A57346	Will not this word[ Eternity] pierce the hardest heart?
A57346	Will you be careless and secure because your Minister is commanded to watch for your Souls?
A57346	Will you be obstinate and impenitent, because your Good Minister, nay, your Blessed Lord and Saviour, is Tender and Compassionate?
A57346	Will you harden your Hearts, and stand it out, because God by his Ministers, is praying you in Christs stead to be reconciled to God?
A57346	Will you not tremble to bring God''s Curse upon you and your Children?
A57346	Would you dispose well of them here upon Earth, and not be afraid least they miss of Heaven through your Carelessness?
A57346	Would you have your Children prosper in this World, and for ever perish in the next?
A57346	that Wickedness should Survive in thy Posterity, when thou art turned to Dust, and that it should be alive in thy House, and in Hell too?
A43344	''T was part of the good Advice given by a Pious and Ingenious Father, to his Children newly entred into the Conjugal Relation, Doth one speak Fire?
A43344	''tother with Water come; Is one provok''d?
A43344	11, 12. when we suffer thus for Righteousness sake?
A43344	13. Who draws his Swor ● or cocks his Pistol at the harmless silent Lamb, while every one is ready to do it, at the furious barking Dog?
A43344	13. and why so?
A43344	14. that flew in the Face of their Reprovers,( tho''really they were the best Friends they had) with, Who made thee a Iudge?
A43344	17, 18. and to whom else can we wish to recommend our selves?
A43344	4. that he will beautifie the meek with Salvation; and if the Garaments of Salvation will not beautifie, what will?
A43344	9: But how many Little Rulers are there of Families and petty Societies, that herein are very unlike him, for they are always chiding?
A43344	Among such foolish Creatures as we are, it must needs be, that Offences will come; and why should not I have my share of those Offences?
A43344	And are these the Ensigns of your Honour?
A43344	And are we not apt enough likewise, to offend our Brethren?
A43344	And for all this, ought not I to be greatly humbled and ashamed?
A43344	And is not a quiet Spirit, the best Preparative for that quiet State?
A43344	And now, may we not all remember our Faults this Day?
A43344	And should not we, much more, be qualified by the same consideration?
A43344	And what Blunders did they make?
A43344	Are they not all forgotten as dead Men out of mind, and their names written in the dust?
A43344	Are those to be accounted politick and designing Sectaries that have for Christ chearfully su ● ● ered the loss of all things?
A43344	Are we not called Christians from Christ, whom we call Master and Lord, and shall we not endeavour to accommodate our selves to him?
A43344	Besides the Contempt cast upon him by the Iews and Mahometans, are there not with us, even with us, those that daringly speak against him?
A43344	But do you know that all this will at last rebound in your own Faces, and return into your own Bosoms?
A43344	But out of the abundance of the Heart the Mouth speaks, and whence can such evil things come but from an evil Treasure there?
A43344	But where are the Gods of Babylon and Aegypt, Greece and Rome, the illustrious names of Saturn and Iupiter, Iuno and Diana?
A43344	Can not we charge home upon our Enemies Camp, without the wilful disordering of our own Troops?
A43344	Do I well to be angry for a Gourd?
A43344	Do Men gather Grapes of Thorns?
A43344	Do they talk of running down Religion, and the Scriptures, and the Ordinances of Christ?
A43344	Dost thou well to be angry?
A43344	Either we have offended or may offend; so that we have need that others should bear with us,& why then should not we bear with them?
A43344	Hath Christ need of mad Men?
A43344	How can we say we are meek, if we do not shew it?
A43344	How easie its Days?
A43344	How glad was he that Christ was preached, tho''out of Envy, and Ill- will by those that studied to add Affliction to his Bonds?
A43344	How ignorant and forgetful were they?
A43344	How is their Conduct, their Valor, and their Success more than either cry''d up and celebrated?
A43344	How little is there of the Thing, even among those that make great Pretensions to the Name?
A43344	How mildly did he answer, with Reason and Tenderness, when he could have replyed in Thunder and Lightning?
A43344	How quiet its Nights?
A43344	How slow of Heart to understand and believe?
A43344	How unlike then are those to him whose Sword devours for ever, and whose anger burns like the Coals of Iuniper?
A43344	How well satisfied under all such invidious Reflections with this, that Wisdom is however justified of all her Children?
A43344	If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil, but i ● well, why smitest thou me?
A43344	Iob qualified himself with this, when his Servants were provoking, and he was tempted to be harsh with them, What then shall I do, when God riseth up?
A43344	Is that a Sect which gives such mighty Encouragements and Assistances to those that in every Nation fear God and work Righteousness?
A43344	Is that a Sect which publisheth Good- will towards Men, and Christ the Lamb of God taking away the Sins of the World?
A43344	Is that a Sect which was introduced with a Proclamation of Peace on Earth?
A43344	Is the little Kindom of your Mind more quiet than it hath been, and the discontented Party weakned and kept under?
A43344	Is there no other way of making your Inferiors know their place, but by putting them among the Dogs of your Flock, and threatning them as such?
A43344	Is there not a Cause?
A43344	Is this the best Badge of your Authority you have to put on?
A43344	Is this the product of a meek and quiet Spirit?
A43344	It is an Ornament of God''s own making; Is the Soul thus deck''d?
A43344	Let Meekness stand Centinel, and upon the advance of a Provocation, let us examine who it is we are about to be angry with, and for what?
A43344	Lord what wilt thou have me to do?
A43344	May we not say, as that Mahometan did when a Christian Prince had per ● idiously broke his League with him, O Iesus, are these thy Christians?
A43344	Must we not needs say, this is the Lord''s doing,& it is marvellous in our eyes?
A43344	Nay, Meekness is a Victory over Satan the greatest Enemy of all: What Conquest can sound more great than that?
A43344	Nay; on the contrary, have you not found that it very well deserves your best Affections and Services?
A43344	Non vis esse iracundus?
A43344	Now as seriously enquire, Whither is thy Beloved gone, that we may seek him with thee?
A43344	Now who would wilfully do that, which sooner or later he must repent of?
A43344	O God, how long shall the Adversary reproach?
A43344	Or what are our Sayings that they must not be contradicted?
A43344	Our Children are careless, and playful, and froward, and scarce governable, and were not we our selves so when we were of their Age?
A43344	Quid est ad pacem Dei accedere sine pace?
A43344	Quis placet Deo?
A43344	Saul, as inveterate an Enemy as could be, was more than once melted by David''s Mildness and Meekness, Is this thy voice, my Son David?
A43344	Secondly, Have we not Reason to labour and endeavour, since there is such a Vertue, there is such a Praise, to attain these things?
A43344	Shall I come to you with a Rod, or in the Spirit of Meekness?
A43344	Shall the Enemy blaspheme thy Name for ever?
A43344	Should I be touch''d to the quick by such a sudden and transient Provocation?
A43344	Should we not lay out our selves to the utmost, for this Ornament of a Meek and Quiet Spirit?
A43344	That which beats Swords into Plow- shares, and Spears into Pruning- hooks?
A43344	The Cup that my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
A43344	The Text tells us( what need we more?)
A43344	The meek and quiet Soul is at Death let into that Rest, which it hath been so much labouring after, and how ● ● welcome must that needs be?
A43344	These are the Rules, but how few are rul''d by them?
A43344	They are carless in their observance, and perhaps wilful in their offence, and am not I so to God?
A43344	Think then, if God should be as angry with me for every Provocation, as I am with those about me, what would become of me?
A43344	This makes People ready to say as that Mahometan Prince did, when the Christians had broke their League with him, O Iesus, are these thy Christians?
A43344	This seems to be a hard Saying, how shall we digest it?
A43344	To what purpose were we listed under his Banner, but that we might follow him as our Leader?
A43344	WOULD you think that such a spiteful scornful Word as this should ever be said of the Christian Religion?
A43344	We profess to rejoyce in him, as our Fore- runner, and shall we not run after him?

A43344	What are the merits of the Cause, wherein lay the Offence, what was the Nature and Tendency of it?
A43344	What have I done now in comparison of you?
A43344	What have I now done?
A43344	What have we the Law, and Pattern, and Promise of Christ for, but to calm our Spirits under Reproaches for well doing?
A43344	What is the Practice of Religion, but the Imitation of God endeavour''d by us?
A43344	What is true Comfort and Pleasure, but a Quietness in our own Bosom?
A43344	What manner of Grace is this, that even the VVinds and the Seas obey it?

A44699	Among these, what can be more clear and certain than this, that we have our hearts much set upon it?
A44699	And Secondly, How congruous and agreeable would this supposition prove to the Goodness of God?
A44699	And again, Is it not as good to be nothing, as to be, and do nothing?
A44699	And can we endure to live according to the former?
A44699	And do not our hearts then misgive?
A44699	And how unjust, to determine and inflict severe penalties for unavoidable and necessitated actions and omissions?
A44699	And if they see a nature extinct, capable of their state, what might they suspect of their own?
A44699	And is it agreeable to the goodness of God to put such a nature into any, and with- hold the suitable object?
A44699	And is not the love of God a higher natural Law than that of the body?
A44699	And is this indeed our case?
A44699	And let us but impartially debate the matter with our selves: Can we, in sober reason, think we were made only for such Ends as the most only pursue?
A44699	And shall the matter be thus given up as hopeless?
A44699	And that our Maker had overshot himself, and been guilty of an oversight, in giving us such a being?
A44699	And to what purpose was this so special Revelation by vision, if it were not to be understood truly, at least, if not yet perfectly and fully?
A44699	And what ingenuity would not blush to be guilty of it?
A44699	And what is the world the better?
A44699	And what then have we to do, but set our selves to our preparatory work?
A44699	And what?
A44699	And who can acquit himself of the one or the other, that lives not in some measure agreeably to the expectation of somewhat beyond this present life?
A44699	And who can think this a thing worthy of infinite and eternal Goodness?
A44699	And who, that hath open eyes, beholds not the dreadful instances and increase of this difection?
A44699	And ● re not our souls and our bodies( though united, yet) distinct things?
A44699	And 〈 ◊ 〉, Is not every thing 〈 … 〉?
A44699	And( a little to discuss this matter) what would we have to assure us?
A44699	Are those things great in their eyes, that are so in ours?
A44699	Are we more nearly 〈 ◊ 〉 to a piece of C ● ● y ▪ 〈 ◊ 〉 to the Father of our spirits?
A44699	As if we were impertinencies in the Creation, and had no proper business in it?
A44699	As if( with a loud and violent cry) they would assassinate and stifle this belief and hope, but not judg it?
A44699	As though our Creation had been a misadventure, a thing that would not have been done, had it been better thought on?
A44699	As, How contemptuously should we look upon that empty vanity of being rich?
A44699	But dare we not venture a little farther?
A44699	But how absurd were it so to treat the other Creatures, that act by a necessity of Nature in all they do?
A44699	But how little doth it signifie?
A44699	But how little would it agree with this design of the Divine Wisdom, to have made man only for this temporary state?
A44699	But if they do not justifie themselves, to what purpose is it further to press them with absurdities, that persist in constant self- contradiction?
A44699	But is there no way to get out of this unhappy Circle?
A44699	But what so great change as this can the nature of man admit?
A44699	But why not rather of the Universe?
A44699	Can we be happy in him whom we do not love?
A44699	Could so vast a sect be without an Head or Master, known and celebrated among men?
A44699	Do not we know this is the time and state of preparation?
A44699	Do we expect a vision or a voice?
A44699	Especially being increased and confirmed by its consciousness and sense of guilt?
A44699	For how highly justifiable and becoming is it, that we principally mind the state and things we were made for?
A44699	For is it so grateful a thing to observe the confused scramble and hurry of the world?
A44699	For upon the whole, let but the case be thus put: Is it not as good to do nothing, as to be busie to no purpose?
A44699	For what Tenet was ever more exploded and hooted at, than that practice is which alone agrees with this?
A44699	For what else is left us, since in our present state we behold nothing but vanity?
A44699	For who that is not so, if he only take notice of his own being, may not as certainly conclude the existence of a God, as that two and two make four?
A44699	Have we any pretence to think so?
A44699	How befitting is it to pass by all things with neglect, and betake our selves hither with this sense?
A44699	How can these but make it banish it self, and in a sullen enmity and despair perp ● tually fl ● e the Divine Presence?
A44699	How coldly and carelesly should we pursue; how unconcern''dly should we lose any thing that might intitle us to that Name?
A44699	How faint and languid would endeavours be after the knowledg of that God, whom I may but only know, and dye?
A44699	How is it courted and solicited and sued unto?
A44699	If the question were put, Wherefore did God make man?
A44699	If they do, how fatally are all things inverted in their depraved minds?
A44699	If we have not seen what the state of things is in the other world, are we not told?
A44699	Is it so much worth the while to live, to see a few more persons bow the knee?
A44699	Is this a likely way to procure love, and to captivate hearts into an affectionate and free obedience?
A44699	Less plausible Opinions find some Owner; Why is it not said, Who was the first Broacher of this?
A44699	May we not then be ashamed that they should discern our terrene dispositions?
A44699	Not in degree: for who sees not that the nature of man is capable of greater things than he here enjoys?
A44699	Now who can think the satisfying of these lusts the commensurate end of man?
A44699	Of how little use are the Politician, the States- man, the Senator, the Judg, or the Eloquent man?
A44699	Or can it enter into our souls to believe it?
A44699	Or how can we bear it, to live as if we came into the world by chance?
A44699	Or how little is the gain when the labour and travel of so many years is all vanished and blown away with the last puff of his dying- breath?
A44699	Or how should we savour the notion of an impure Deity taking pleasure to indulge the wickedness of men?
A44699	Or to have it written in their foreheads, These are the only ends they are capable of?
A44699	Or what imagination can be too absurd to have place in that mind that can imagine this Creation to be a casualty?
A44699	Or would not some or other of his proselyted disciples have preserved his name and memory, and transmitted them to posterity?
A44699	Ought the love of God to do nothing?
A44699	Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
A44699	Since the blessed God himself is to be considered as the principal Agent and Designer in this enquiry[ Why hast thou made all men in vain?]
A44699	Such a Creature made to no purpose?
A44699	That have so little of solid and substantial beeing?
A44699	The noblest part of this inferior Creation brought forth into being without any imaginable design?
A44699	Therefore let us consider; Are we conscious of no unfitn ● ss for that blessed state?
A44699	To be associated with the H ● av ● nly Assembly of pure intellectual spirits?
A44699	To consort and joyn with them in their celebrations and triumphant Songs?
A44699	To dwell in the presence of the holy God?
A44699	To employ our utmost care to live, but to live for we know not what?
A44699	To extend power a little further?
A44699	To make another essay what pleasure sense can tast in some or other hitherto unexperimented Rarity?
A44699	To what purpose was it for him to live in the world a few years, upon this account only, and so go down to the place of silence?
A44699	Was it only for the hoped prosperity of his House and Family when he was gone?
A44699	What am I to pitch upon as my proper End?
A44699	What are we doing?
A44699	What can in this case be more natural to it, than to give up it self to eternal solitary wandrings, as a Fugitive from God?
A44699	What can more become us, if we reckon we have somewhat about us made for immortality, than to bestow our chief care upon that immortal part?
A44699	What censures, may we think, do they pass upon our follies?
A44699	What eye would not soon spy out the grosness of this absurdity?
A44699	What hovering shadows, what uncertain Entities are they?
A44699	What import or signification is there in this course, of a design for futurity?
A44699	What ingenuous persons would not blush to be always in the posture of an useless hang- by?
A44699	What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death?
A44699	What matter were it what became of the world, whether it be wise or foolish, rich or poor, quiet or unquiet, govern''d or ungovern''d?
A44699	What more peculiar gusto this or that thing will afford?
A44699	What serious person?
A44699	What?
A44699	Who else can be the Author of so common a perswasion?
A44699	Who would not rather bless himself in a( more rational) neglect, and regardlesness of all humane affairs?
A44699	Who would not, upon the supposition of no higher, say with the Psalmist, Wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
A44699	Why hast thou brought forth into the light of this world such a sort of Creatures, that rather seem to be, than are?
A44699	Why have they the power of thinking?
A44699	Why is there so unaccountable a Phoenomenon?
A44699	With what solemnity are applications and addresses made to the Will of man upon all occasions?
A44699	Would he not have own''d it, and glory''d in it?
A44699	Would not men be ashamed to profess such a belief?
A44699	Would we not blush to profess it for a Principle, That there is nothing real that exceeds the sphere of our sense?
A44699	and account an unconcerned indifferency the highest wisdom?
A44699	and how are we concerned to lose no more time?
A44699	and not by the reason of men, but their lusts only?
A44699	and obliged to 〈 … 〉 there, rather than 〈 … 〉 in ● ● rior thing( at least) ● ow n ● ● rly soever united?
A44699	and see us come, so unwillingly, into their con ● ort, and happy state?
A44699	and so little deserve to be taken for realities?
A44699	and tell us we are unready?
A44699	and that too without trial or hearing?
A44699	and the fruit that remains, is to have it said by those that survive, There lies learned dust?
A44699	and the violation of whatsoever is Sacred, the most effectual propitiation?
A44699	and try the other Dish?
A44699	and which he hath made it desire, and therein encouraged it to expect?
A44699	given him such a mock- beeing?
A44699	he hath nothing to say?
A44699	not yet prepared to approach the Divine Presence, or to enter into the habitation of his Holiness and Glory?
A44699	or acknowledg him for a God whom they hope to over- power, and to prosper in a War against him?
A44699	or are we not to try our selves; and search for such characters in our own souls, as may distinguish and note us out for Heaven?
A44699	or even to recover such out of their lapses, and drowsie fits, that are not altogether so?
A44699	or love whom we will not know or be acquainted with?
A44699	or rather by mistake?
A44699	or signifie nothing to the inclining our mind ● to the so unspeakably better part?
A44699	or that have not so much left them of rational sensation, as to feel in their own minds the pressure of the very greatest absurdity?
A44699	or the next year than this?
A44699	or think of stealing a passage to Heaven in the dark?
A44699	or to be procured by affronts?
A44699	or to be the subject of any rational design or care?
A44699	or to renew the same relishes over again?
A44699	shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave?
A44699	since there can be no pretence of any such 〈 ◊ 〉 union, than o ● a thing with it self?
A44699	that he should come into the world furnisht with such powers and endowments for this?
A44699	that if he be asked, Sir, what''s your business here?
A44699	that only serve to cheat one another into an opinion of their true existence, and presently vanish and confess their falshood?
A44699	then, what have we been doing all this while?
A44699	to affect to be ever enwrapt in its own darkness, and hidden from his sight, and be an everlasting tormentor to it self?
A44699	to be still hanging on, where he hath nothing to do?
A44699	to make supplications to the Wind, or propound articles to a Brute?
A44699	to whom contempt were a sacrifice?
A44688	2.12, 13?
A44688	A great point is gained, if thou art but brought to say, what shall I do to be saved?
A44688	All that is liable to question is, whether we are to conceive in him any like resentments of such cases, in his present glorify''d state?
A44688	And are not all these his creatures as well as you?
A44688	And are you not sufficiently assured they are so confirm''d?
A44688	And can you have them, whether he will or no?
A44688	And can you pretend you have no means to know it?
A44688	And did not he that made them make you and all things else?
A44688	And dost thou not again know that divine power and grace must unite thee to him?
A44688	And find a war is commenced and on foot, between God and thee?
A44688	And here perhaps, Reader, thou wilt expect to be told what are the limits of this day of grace?
A44688	And how are other things known, of common concernment, and whereof an immediate knowledge is as little possible?
A44688	And how can you think that he that made and maintains you, hath no right to rule you?
A44688	And if there were such a rule, how frequent misapplications would the fallible and distempered minds of men make of it?
A44688	And if you yet look no higher, than to progenitours of your own kind, mortal men, as you are; how came they into being?
A44688	And it would be said with equal reason in reference to all sin permitted to be in the world, why was it not prevented?
A44688	And should not you rejoyce for your selves?
A44688	And that love that wept over them that were lost, how will it glory in them that are saved?
A44688	And what is the other object about which the divine will is also conversant?
A44688	And what will is that?
A44688	And where is now your new light?
A44688	And who can expect he should?
A44688	And who can say he should not intend to let it follow?
A44688	And whosoever thou art that livest under the Gospel, canst thou deny that it is day with thee, as to all this?
A44688	And why may he not yet be expected to do so?
A44688	And why should God make it known?
A44688	And your subject being what course you are now to take, that you may escape eternal wrath and ruine?
A44688	Appeal sinner to thine own conscience; Hast thou never felt any thing of conviction, by the word of God?
A44688	Are you not continually call''d hereto by the Gospel, under which you have liv''d all this while?
A44688	Art thou willing to return to him, and take him again for thy God?
A44688	Ask of you how you think your life is maintained?
A44688	At least do you not find you need the common helps of meat, and drink, and air, and clothing for the support and comfort of your lives?
A44688	Bethink your selves; are you to sit down and yield your selves to perish?
A44688	But art thou a man that thus objectest?
A44688	But here perhaps thou wilt enquire, Is there any thing then to be done by us, whereupon the grace of God may be expected certainly to follow?
A44688	But if it be said, how can they pray for that whereof they have no promise?
A44688	But is that an untrue Revelation?
A44688	But is there unrigteousnes with God?
A44688	But what knowledge of them is it that is here meant?
A44688	But you will say, shall all then that live under the Gospel obtain this grace and holy life?
A44688	But, sinner, wilt thou make a Covenant with me, and my Christ?
A44688	Can any man in his wits doubt concerning his own act in this case?
A44688	Can thine heart endure, or thine hands be strong if he plead with thee?
A44688	Can you suppose your selves to be under no obligation to please him, who hath done so much for you?
A44688	Can you, by it, uncreate your Creatour, and nullify the eternal Being?
A44688	Can''st thou sustain it?
A44688	Canst thou doubt his power?
A44688	Canst thou think his deceitful tears?
A44688	Could it intend a political meaning?
A44688	Could''st thou think, living under the Gospel, that the reconciliation between God and thee was not to be mutual?
A44688	Couldst thou think the Gospel was to bring thee to faith and repentance whether thou didst hear it or no?
A44688	Dare you take upon you to cancell, and nullify to your self the obligation of the Evangelical law?
A44688	Demand of you; Do you believe there is a Lord over you, yea or no?
A44688	Did not Christians then willingly sacrifice their lives by multitudes, upon the assured truth of these things?
A44688	Did the Son of God descend from Heaven; put on flesh, and dy?
A44688	Did you never slight Christ?
A44688	Didst thou never hear that the tree must be made good that the fruit might be good?
A44688	Didst thou never hear, that none can come to Christ but whom the Father drawes?
A44688	Didst thou not know that it belonged to thy peace, to have a peace- maker?
A44688	Do you find in your selves any inclination to cheat your children, in any thing that concerns their well being?
A44688	Do you not apprehend you have an invisible owner, and Ruler, that rightfully claims to himself an interest in you, and a governing power over you?
A44688	Do you not see your case then?
A44688	Do you owe no duty, no pity to them that have the same nature with you, and with whom your case was once the same?
A44688	Do you think you can live as long as you will?
A44688	Dost thou know how near thou art to the end of thy life?
A44688	Dost thou like his termes?
A44688	Dost thou not also know, sinner,( what hath been so newly shewn thee from Gods word) that, by thy being under the Gospel, thou hast a day of grace?
A44688	Dost thou not know thou art a mortal creature, that thy breath is in thy nostrils?
A44688	Dost thou not know thy day of grace may end before thy life end?
A44688	Dost thou now, sinner, apprehend thy self gone off from God?
A44688	Doth not he that made you live, keep you alive?
A44688	Doth not this deserve as ill things at the hands of God as you can ● ear?
A44688	Doth righteousnes it self make him unrighteous?
A44688	For can you think there is a disagreement between him and the Father about these things?
A44688	For couldst thou be so void of all understanding as not to apprehend what the Gospel was sent to thee for?
A44688	For if it be just to punish such wickednes, is it unjust to intend to punish it?
A44688	For is it not plain to thee in it self, and from what hath been said, that this day hath its limits, and will come to an end?
A44688	For should he intend nothing concerning them?
A44688	For should he take away the Gospel from the rest, that these might be less punished?
A44688	For was it ever the first intention of the things enjoyn''d in the Gospel, but to entitle men to earthly secular benefits?
A44688	For what obligation hast thou upon that blessed Spirit?
A44688	For whither would this lead?
A44688	For, if you consider, will you contend with omnipotency, or fight with an all- devouring flame?
A44688	God, or thou?
A44688	Hath he no cause to fear lest the things of his peace should be for ever hid from his eyes?
A44688	Hath he not many times let in beams of light upon thee?
A44688	Have not some of the most spiteful of them confest it?
A44688	Have you the power of your own life?
A44688	He lives and walks after the flesh, serves divers lusts and pleasures, and saies who is Lord over me?
A44688	Hell and destruction are open before him, and without covering, how soon art thou cast in and ingulpht?
A44688	How came you into being?
A44688	How can these two contrary obligations ly upon a man at the same time?
A44688	How canst thou but say, sinner, thou hast a day of it?
A44688	How great a thing have you to oppose to all worldly troubles?
A44688	How tastful now is that melting invitation?
A44688	How zealous should you be to draw in others?
A44688	If God do not give you his grace, to overcome, and cure the aversenes and malignity of your nature?
A44688	If it be not expresly told you what the condition of that night is that follows your Gospel- day; If the Watchman being asked, what of the night?
A44688	If it should prove a reasonable apprehension, as it is a terrible one, would the neglect of it become a reasonable creature, or mend thy case?
A44688	If it were not absurd and impossible you should be self- begotten, is it not much more glorious to be born of God?
A44688	If it were possible any one should as much depend upon you, would you not claim such power over him?
A44688	If, when you were enemies, you were reconcil''d by the death of Christ, how much more, being reconciled, shall you be saved by his life?
A44688	In which respects also it must be divine or nothing?
A44688	Is a certainty of perishing better than an high probability of being saved?
A44688	Is he to be so unconcern''d about his own creatures, that are under his Government?
A44688	Is it for a sinner that hath deserved, and is ready to perish, to insist upon being saved with reputation?
A44688	Is it not a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God?
A44688	Is it not better to sue in time for peace?
A44688	Is it not pleasant to you to be at peace with God?
A44688	Is that which is signify''d( for sure no one will say it signifies nothing) his real will, yea or no?
A44688	Is this indeed the wisest course?
A44688	Nay, but who art thou, O man; that replyest against God?
A44688	Now what can be meant by that[ I would have gathered you as the Hen her Chickens under her wings?]
A44688	Now, is it an insignificant sign?
A44688	Or could any Records be preserved with more care and concern, than those wherein our Religion lies?
A44688	Or could it seem likely to thee thou couldst ever be reconcil''d to God, and continue unreconcil''d to thy reconciler?
A44688	Or why should''st thou think a Deity bound to attend upon thy triflings?
A44688	Our shallow reason indeed is apt to suggest in these matters, why is not that prevented that is so displeasing?
A44688	That book that goes up and down under the name of his Word, can you disprove it to be his Word?
A44688	That the case is in it self most deplorable, who sees not?
A44688	The Gospel, as thou hast been told, reveals God willing to be reconciled, and thereupon beseeches thee to be reconcil''d to him?
A44688	The former is not acceptable to thee, art thou prepared for the latter?
A44688	Thou hast the dreadful flaming gulf of everlasting horrour and misery in view, hast thou nothing left thee to do but to throw thy self into it?
A44688	Thou wilt not do him right, he must then right himself upon thee; Dost thou think he can not do it?
A44688	To resign and commit thy self with unfeigned trust and subjection, into the hands of his Son thy Redeemer?
A44688	To what purpose is there a dayes- man, a middle person between God and thee, if thou wilt not meet him in that middle person?
A44688	Try your own hearts; Do you not find them draw back and recoil; if you urge them, do they not still fly off?
A44688	Upon this ground then, what exhortation could be more proper than this, work out your salvation with fear and trembling?
A44688	Was it ever intended, men should, generally, remain exempt from obligation, to observe, believe, and obey him?
A44688	Was that also done to deceive?
A44688	Were you never convinc''t of your neglecting God, and living as without him in the world?
A44688	What are we yet to learn that a divine power must work and form our Religion in us, as well as divine authority direct and enjoyn it?
A44688	What could be more awfully monitory, and enforcing of it, than that he works only of meer good will and pleasure?
A44688	What have you now to fear?
A44688	What if nothing can be done by us upon which it may be[ certainly] expected to follow?
A44688	What if the absolute sovereign Lord of all expect your attendance upon him?
A44688	What if, now we would return to him, he will not receive us?
A44688	What need is there that any man should know just how near he may come, without being sure to die for it?
A44688	What the things are which belong to the Peace of a People living under the Gospel?
A44688	What unprejudic''t mind might not perceive it to be so?
A44688	What will this come to at last, that convictions have hitherto signify''d and served for nothing but increase of guilt?
A44688	When the Terrours of God did beset you round, and his arrows stuck fast in you, did you not then find trouble and sorrow?
A44688	Whence is this difference?
A44688	Whereas you have often heard that we all live, and move, and have our beings in him, doth it not seem most likely to you to be so?
A44688	Which course, that it may have a blessed issue with him, who dare venture to deny, or doubt?
A44688	Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A44688	Why are you afraid your day should be over, and the things of your peace be for ever hid from your eyes?
A44688	Why should you more suspect your forefathers design, to cheat you in the meer reporting falsly, a matter of fact?
A44688	Will your imagination make you safe?
A44688	Would you not then have given all the world for a peaceful word or look?
A44688	You will say, but if the Spirit retire from men, so as never to return, where is the difference?
A44688	a reasonable understanding creature?
A44688	a sign that signifies nothing?
A44688	a worm?
A44688	and clear day- light shewing thee what the good and acceptable will of God towards thee is?
A44688	and hath he left the World at liberty, whether, upon any notice hereof, they should enquire and concern themselves about him or no?
A44688	and how few breaths there may be for thee between this present moment and eternity?
A44688	and protect you against his wrath and justice, whose authority you will not own?
A44688	and that the Son of God was he?
A44688	and to do his will, if you can any way know it?
A44688	and to intend to punish it according to its desert, when it can not be thought unjust, actually to render to men what they deserve?
A44688	and what is to be said to this?
A44688	awakened thee?
A44688	convinc''t thee?
A44688	for any glimmering hope of peace?
A44688	had we an incarnate Deity conversant among men on earth, and made a Sacrifice for the sins of men?
A44688	hadst thou never any thought injected of turning to God, of reforming thy life, of making thy peace?
A44688	half- perswaded thee?
A44688	hast thou never had any tasts and relishes of pleasure in the things of God?
A44688	have no desires ever been raised in thee, no fears?
A44688	have we no tears to spend upon this doleful subject?
A44688	his, who never knew guile?
A44688	if he surround thee with his terrours, and set them in battel array against thee?
A44688	it is not repugnant to his will?
A44688	my doing it?
A44688	never make light of offered mercy?
A44688	nothing that is signify''d by it?
A44688	of your low esteem and disregard of Christ?
A44688	of your unprofitablenes in your station?
A44688	or be more secure from designed, or material depravation?
A44688	or dost thou use the reason and understanding of a man in objecting thus?
A44688	or ever apply thy mind to consider the meaning of it, and what it did propose and offer to thee?
A44688	or have you any thing else, besides your own blind imagination, to make you confident, that all things came of nothing, without any Maker?
A44688	or his impenitency and infidelity, even when they are at the highest, no sins?
A44688	or is he to look upon the former as ceased?
A44688	or is he unrighteous in taking vengeance?
A44688	or that he is obliged by Laws made many an age ago?
A44688	or to envy the great God upon whose pleasure it wholly depends whether he shall be saved or not saved, the entire glory of saving him?
A44688	or to which there belongs no correspondent signisicatum?
A44688	or why it was necessary to be preached to thee, or that thou should''st hear it?
A44688	otherwise wherein is his will withstood, or not fulfilled in my not doing it?
A44688	parents, or masters, children, or servants,& c?
A44688	professing to the last his Kingdom was not of this world?
A44688	shall it be said that sin doth not displease God?
A44688	shewn thee the evil of thy wayes?
A44688	should he reckon the Gospel as to him repealed?
A44688	that a name to live without the principle of the holy divine life would never save thee?
A44688	that he hath no will against sin?
A44688	that he would be reconcil''d to thee while thou wouldst not be reconcil''d to him, or shouldst still bear towards him a disaffected implacable heart?
A44688	that he would have been a Temporal Prince and Saviour to them; which he so earnestly declined and disclaimed?
A44688	that others might not be saved, because they will not?
A44688	that thou may''st be cast far enough out of the sound of the Gospel?
A44688	that thou may''st live still under the Gospel, and the Spirit of grace retire from thee, and never attempt thee more for thy former despiting of it?
A44688	that thou must become a new creature, have old things done away, and all things made new?
A44688	that whosoever is in Christ is a new creature?
A44688	that you must perish if you have not help from heaven?
A44688	to find that all controversies are taken up between him and you?
A44688	to quit his claim to the greatest part of mankind?
A44688	wa st thou kept in ignorance that a form of Godlines without the power of it would never do thee good?
A44688	wa st thou never told of this great necessary heart- change?
A44688	was it his own intention to wave, or not insist upon, his own most sacred, and so dearly acquired rights?
A44688	was not humane nature the same, so many hundred years ago?
A44688	was this Religion instituted only for one Nation, or Age?
A44688	was this like the rest of his course?
A44688	was your heart never hard or dead?
A44688	was your mind never blind or vain?
A44688	were the terms of peace and reconciliation never rejected or disregarded by you?
A44688	were you never convinc''d how very faulty governours you have been, or members of families?
A44688	were you not in a fearful expectation of wrath and fiery indignation to consume and burn you up as adversaries?
A44688	what from thy self?
A44688	what if all the world were in a posture of hostility against you, when the mighty Lord of all is your friend?
A44688	what is there hope for such a lost wretch as I?
A44688	what were he to be advised unto?
A44688	what, to pass judgment upon himself, and his case as desperate?
A44688	when perhaps it is far more likely that I shall perish notwithstanding, than be saved?
A44688	when thy life lay upon it, and thy eternal hope?
A44688	whence have these come?
A44688	wherein you ought to have liv''d more conformably to christian rules and precepts, according to the relations wherein God had set you?
A44688	whether it be better to pray for the grace of God to save him, than slight it and perish?
A44688	who art not sufficient to think any thing as of thy self, i. e. not any good or right thought?
A44688	who can deny it?
A44688	who is to be perswaded but the unwilling?
A44688	who was to be perswaded by a Gospel sent to thee?
A44688	who was to be reconciled by a Gospel preacht to thee but thy self?
A44688	whom on earth do I desire besides thee?
A44688	wilt thou take me for thy God, and him for thy Redeemer and Lord?
A44688	would any one diminish to himself, whom he takes for his God?
A44683	( How much more might it be said of all its inward parts?)
A44683	An enquiry whether it be possible the Creature can be actually infinite?
A44683	An& mundum fecit,& in mundo homines ut ab hominibus coleretur?
A44683	And I may add, when those appear but points, in comparison of his so much vaster work, how plainly doth that also argue to us the same thing?
A44683	And are not the Atheists Cavils as despicably silly against the Deity, and( consequently) Religion?
A44683	And as concerning the name, who made them dictators to all the world?
A44683	And besides, is that power somewhat or nothing?
A44683	And bethink our selves: But how came he to exist and be what he is?
A44683	And consequently that it is simply the most perfect?
A44683	And converse with that his creature sutably to the way wherein he hath made it capable of his converse?
A44683	And for the former, I would enquire; Is amplitude of essence no perfection?
A44683	And having done so, why might they not keep together?
A44683	And his power over me, and his goodness to me, are hereby supposed the same, which the only one God, truly hath and exerciseth towards all?
A44683	And how do we think to descry that, here, which may answer this common notion we have of a man?
A44683	And how grateful herein, and meritorious often are the assistent railleries of servile( and it may be mercenary) wits?
A44683	And however, wherein do we find a flame of fire more rational than a piece of ice?
A44683	And if none of these can be supposed; what doth their association signifie towards ratiocination?
A44683	And if one should give this account of the production of such a trifle, would he not be thought in jest?
A44683	And if some power be some being, what then is infinite power, is not that infinite being?
A44683	And if such means as these that have been mentioned should be thought necessary, I would ask, are they necessary to every individval person?
A44683	And if this were barely possible, how little doth that signifie?
A44683	And in another way than that of generation, how will any go about to make a soul?
A44683	And is he not perfectly blind, that sees not what violence is done to free reason in this matter?
A44683	And is not that capacity of the soul of man a real something?
A44683	And is the want of that the total sum of the Atheists misery at this hour?
A44683	And is there any comparison between that temporary transient occasional, and this steady permanent and universal discovery of God?
A44683	And no real Being is supposed besides?
A44683	And since many, we are sure, have thought and spoken unworthily of God, besides Epicureans, are all these to go into the account of Atheists?
A44683	And since they are suppos''d to be so much alike, how are the Mathematical Atoms to be distinguished from the Moral?
A44683	And suppose they had the free grant of all the matter between the crown of their head and the Moon, could they tell what to do with it?
A44683	And that all mankind, besides themselves, were enslaved fools?
A44683	And the disposing this great variety of particular Beings in it, into so exact and elegant an order?
A44683	And the sustaining and preserving it in the same state through so many ages?
A44683	And then how is it all things, when so great a number of things will be left excluded?
A44683	And then it being, however, still, but somewhat that is created or made, how can its Maker but be infinite?
A44683	And then to what purpose doth the discovery and acknowledgment of the Deity serve?
A44683	And then what rational inducement is wanting to Religion and the Dedication of a Temple?
A44683	And therefore by parity of reasons, why should not infinite being exclude finite?]
A44683	And what Miracles did he ever work to confirm the truth of his Doctrine in this matter?
A44683	And what doth most simple infiniteness import, but to have nothing for a boundary, or( which is the same) not to be bounded at all?
A44683	And what have Atheists whereof to glory?
A44683	And what if some one pair or other of these parts had been universally wanting?
A44683	And what if the composure of the body be so apt and useful, so excellent in its own kind; Is it so in every kind, or to all imaginable purposes?
A44683	And what if there be divers of them together?
A44683	And what is the capacity but a power that should sometime be reduced into act, and arrive to the exercise of reason it self?
A44683	And what is[ infinite,] but[ that which can never be travell''d through] or whereof no end can be ever arriv''d unto?
A44683	And what mortal man that hath reason enough about him to be serious, and to think a while, would not even be amaz''d at the Miracle of Nutrition?
A44683	And what other way can be devised?
A44683	And what place is there for complaint of inevidence in the latter?
A44683	And what shall they be?
A44683	And what should be the worshiper when our souls are thought the same thing with what should be the object of our worship?
A44683	And what should their reward be, when the natural tendency of their undertaking is to exclude themselves from the expectation of any in another world?
A44683	And what then, if we Jay aside that supposition( which only somewhat gratifies fancy and imagination) doth that alter the case?
A44683	And what then?
A44683	And what will they expect in this from them whose Temples and Altars they go about to subvert?
A44683	And what, doth it seem likely then that infinite being and power can therefore do just nothing?
A44683	And when they have fancied these to exist, is not that a mighty proof that they indeed do so?
A44683	And where is that Revelation?
A44683	And where is the flaw?
A44683	And whether there be not an incomparably greater number of most wild and arbitrary suppositions, in their fiction, than in this?
A44683	And who can number the instances that might be given besides?
A44683	And who was, therefore ever heard of, that did not acknowledge some or other infinite?
A44683	And who would not wish to live?
A44683	And why may not this be thought supposable?
A44683	And why must we so difference the object of omnisciency and omnipotency?
A44683	And why should not that be understood to signifie the knowledge of simply all things; as well as this the power of doing simply all things?
A44683	And will not that be the case if we suppose future contingencies to lie conceal''d from the penetrating eye of God?
A44683	And with as little prejudice to his felicity?
A44683	And, first, for the universality of it, why may we not suppose it already sufficiently universal?
A44683	Are they not to use their very senses about the matters of Religion?
A44683	Are we hence to expect Oracles, philosophical Determinations?
A44683	Are we not here infinitely out- done?
A44683	Are we yet any nearer our purpose?
A44683	Art thou not wishing thy self and all things into nothing?
A44683	As for instance, how comes it to pass that the several parts which we find to be double in our bodies, are not single only?
A44683	At quid Deo cultus hominum confert, beato,& nulla re indigenti?
A44683	At quomodo in his loquitur?
A44683	But besides, and more generally what proportion is there between a thought, and the motion of an Atom?
A44683	But by what right do they affix such an Idea to their petite and fictitious Deities?
A44683	But can that which is nothing do any thing?
A44683	But can you ever prove the Maker of the world had so?
A44683	But do we need to insist that all the rest of the world acknowledged no Gods, whom they did not also worship?
A44683	But here it may be demanded, is every misapprehension of God to be understood as a denial of his Being?
A44683	But how can every one have one before it?
A44683	But how shall they argue so, who while they acknowledge a God, deny man to be his creature?
A44683	But how wild an imagination were that of a finite being that were of infinite power?
A44683	But however I would demand of such as make this exception, whether they think there be any effect at all, to which a designing cause was necessary?
A44683	But if he persist and solemnly profess that thus he takes it to have been, would he not be thought in good earnest mad?
A44683	But if it be denied, what shall the pretence be?
A44683	But if it be not known, how can they tell but their distinguishing members are co- incident, and run into one?
A44683	But is it necessary this course shall be taken to make the world know there is a God?
A44683	But is plainly denied to be from him, whose being they would argue from it?
A44683	But shall it be said, he must in order to the creating such another world, locally move thither where he designs it?
A44683	But that because a straw lies in my way, I would attempt to overturn heaven and earth, what raging phrensie is this?
A44683	But there is nothing in matters of this nature, more strange than in the structure of the leg of a Flea?
A44683	But to regress a little, fain I would know what is this thing they call nature?
A44683	But what can our reason either direct, or endure, that we should so uncongruously misplace so magnificent attributes as these?
A44683	But what cause can( or ever did) he or his followers assign of God?
A44683	But what, his power without his being?
A44683	But what, therefore, is power the less for being infinite?
A44683	But what?
A44683	But what?
A44683	But why do they the more conveniently associate upon that account for this purpose?
A44683	But would strange and wonderful effects that might surprise and amaze you do the business?
A44683	But would we ever regard what they say whom we believe to speak by chance?
A44683	But yet, may not much be attributed to the convenient and well fenced cavity of the brains receptacle, or the more secret chambers within that?
A44683	By what art would they make a seed?
A44683	By what power, or by what art will they make a reasonable soul spring up out of nothing?
A44683	Can Subjects, remote from their Prince, sufficiently be assured of his existence?
A44683	Can we be sure there are men on earth?
A44683	Concerning which soul afterwards enquiring whether all ought not to account it God?
A44683	Did that cause other things to be?
A44683	Did this intelligent nature proceed from an unintelligent, as the whole and only cause of it?
A44683	Do these small threds sentire?
A44683	Do they need to be pent in?
A44683	Do they think it an easie enterprize?
A44683	Doth it signifie any thing, or is it of any value to the purpose for which it is alledg''d?
A44683	Doth this cause stand and fall with you?
A44683	Doth this temper so much befriend the exercise of Reason?
A44683	Either by detracting somewhat that belongs to it, or attributing somewhat that belongs not?
A44683	For hath every soul that hath ever existed or been in being been produced in this way by another?
A44683	For how impossible is it to be sure we have no untrue conception of a Being so infinitely, by our own confession, above all our thoughts?
A44683	For if there be no God, what am I?
A44683	For is it a necessary being?
A44683	For of what pre- existent substance are they made?
A44683	For since our knowledge of God ought chiefly to respect him in that forementioned relative consideration, and the enquiry what is God?
A44683	For taking notice of the existence of any thing whatsoever, some reason must be assignable, whence it is that this particular Being doth exist?
A44683	For then how can there be any finite?
A44683	For then there will be one without the compass of every one, And how is it then said to be every one?
A44683	For was the contrivance of these machines theirs?
A44683	For what can be at a greater, than that which is necessarily?
A44683	For what can be plainer than that, if all being sometime was not, and now some being is, every thing of being had a beginning?
A44683	For what can be the undertakers hope, either of success or reward?
A44683	For what can the pretence of evidence be in the former assertion?
A44683	For what can this signifie?
A44683	For what do they find here that can thus beyond all expectation improve them to so high an excellency?
A44683	For what else is left us to say or think?
A44683	For what is there to be said for their hypothesis, or against the existence of God, and the duness of Religion?
A44683	For what ways of proving it can be thought of, which the supposition it self doth not forbid, and reject?
A44683	For whence should it receive any accession to it self when it is supposed equally independent upon its fellows, as any of them upon it?
A44683	For which way would they go to work?
A44683	For who did ever, in that case, say the parents were the productive causes of that learning?
A44683	For who fees not that it is a matter of no greater difficulto converse with, than to make a reasonable creature?
A44683	For why will they acknowledge any necessary Being at all, that was ever of it self?
A44683	For, if it be said having nothing else to communicate, they communicate themselves, but what is that self?
A44683	For, since there can be no Wisdom, Power, or Goodness, which is not either original and self- essentiate, or derived and participated from thence?
A44683	Frequent?
A44683	Had not the whole frame of man besides been in vain?
A44683	Have we any way, besides that discovery, which the acts and effects of reason do make of a rational or intelligent Being?
A44683	How are they pent in whilst in the body?
A44683	How are they to be rang''d when for the affirmative?
A44683	How far have all attempted imitations in this kind fallen short of this perfection?
A44683	How great a misery had it inferr''d upon mankind?
A44683	How little would that contribute to pious and devout converses with God, that should certainly keep mens minds in a continual commotion and hurry?
A44683	How most commodiously all things are ordered in it?
A44683	How much greater and more absolute is the right which the parentage of our whole being challenges?
A44683	How should we even over- do the present business?
A44683	How were these thoughts in his mind?
A44683	How will they prove their Idea true?
A44683	I ask then, but can he not at the same time create thousands of worlds at any distance from this round about it?
A44683	I would here enquire why do you so pronounce?
A44683	If all that I am and have be from him, I can not surely owe to him less than all?
A44683	If every one could bring somewhat to a common stock, that might be serviceable to that purpose; how shall each ones proportion or share be imparted?
A44683	If so, whom can we undertake to assoil of Atheism?
A44683	If there be such advantage, why can it not be understood?
A44683	If they had taken one of these, to be their alone Creator, how much greater had their veneration and their homage been?
A44683	If this bespeak not an intelligent Agent, what doth?
A44683	If we consider the joynt encouragement that arises from so unlimited power and goodness?
A44683	If yea, whence came this impression, but from God himself?
A44683	Into what can we devise to resolve it?
A44683	Is it a created Being?
A44683	Is it any intelligent principle?
A44683	Is it flesh, or bloud, or bones that puts this stamp upon them?
A44683	Is it needful they be universal?
A44683	Is it not because they can not otherwise for their hearts tell how it was ever possible that any thing at all could come into being?
A44683	Is it not plain that he can with the same facility, continue the influence which he at first gave forth?
A44683	Is it that we think that can be less true now which was so gloriously evident to be true four thousand years ago?
A44683	Is it their peculiar magnitude or size that so far ennobles them?
A44683	Is it to be proved by Revelation?
A44683	Is it to exclude a necessary self- active being?
A44683	Is it written or unwritten?
A44683	Is there therefore nothing more of existent Being than there was before this production?
A44683	It is then some Being, and whose Being is it but his own?
A44683	It may possibly be here said in short; But what have we all this while been doing?
A44683	Knowable?
A44683	Many sorts of rare engines we acknowledge contrived by the wit of man, but who hath ever made one that could grow?
A44683	Maxims of State?
A44683	May we not now hope to have a rational sort of people among them, that is, those of the peculiar family or tribe?
A44683	Nay, if a thousand men were askt the same question, they would as undoubtingly say the same thing?
A44683	Now here I would further demand, is there any thing in this reason yea or no?
A44683	Now if such a continual iteration of these strange things were thought necessary, would they not hereby soon cease to be strange?
A44683	Now was it possible any thing should give that power that had it not any way?
A44683	Now, that we may proceed, what can felfessentiate, underived, Power, Wisdom, Goodness be, but most perfect Power, Wisdom, Goodness?
A44683	Or do they expect to find men indifferent in a matter that concerns their common Practice and Hope?
A44683	Or from effects?
A44683	Or how is it to be avoided, in somewhat or other to think amiss of so unknown and incomprehensibly excellent a Being?
A44683	Or is it imaginable it should never have met with contradiction?
A44683	Or is it that we can dis- believe or doubt the truth of the History?
A44683	Or is it the best way of making use of what God hath revealed of himself, by whatsoever means, not to understand what he hath revealed?
A44683	Or no tie unto love, reverence, obedience, and adoration, because the Author of my being comprehended not in himself all perfection?
A44683	Or shall it be said that the infiniteness of power is no hinderance but the infiniteness of Being?
A44683	Or some other?
A44683	Or such as than which there can never be more perfect?
A44683	Or that any creature is so perfect as that none can be made more perfect?
A44683	Or was it guided by any such?
A44683	Or who are its vouchers?
A44683	Or will we adventure to be so assuming, as while we deny it to God that he knows all things, to attribute to our selves that we do?
A44683	Or with what right or pretence will they assume so much to themselves?
A44683	Or would it be thought a reasonable excuse of disloyalty, that any such persons should say they had never seen the King or his Court?
A44683	Quis cnim non timeat omnia providentem,& cogitantem,& animadvertentem,& omnia ad se pertinere putantem, curiosum& plenum negotii Deum?
A44683	So much would plainly conclude the sum of what we have been pleading for; and what can be plainer or doth require a shorter turn of thoughts?
A44683	So that here all will be summ''d up in this enquiry, whether Reason can agree to matter?
A44683	Somewhat or other there must be that when he is askt, is this the effect of skill?
A44683	That is to make any nourishable thing?
A44683	That it neither rises from nor is meer matter; whence it will be consequent it must have an efficient divers from matter?
A44683	That none of the pretended by- standers should disclaim the avouchment of it?
A44683	That the hand is divided into fingers?
A44683	That there is such variety and curiosity in the ways of joyning the bones together in that and other parts of the body?
A44683	That what can do nothing, can no more be the productive cause of another, than that which is nothing?
A44683	The refusal whereof, even Barbarian ingenuity would abhor, yea and brutal instinct condemn?
A44683	Theirs who beget them?
A44683	They are light, doth that mend the matter?
A44683	They are little, what doth that contribute?
A44683	They should therefore consider who gave them the understandings which they fear to use?
A44683	This signifies somewhat towards the keeping of state, but what doth it to the exercise of reason?
A44683	This therefore is our present theme, whether such things as these be capable of such, or any acts of reason yea or no?
A44683	This, rather than humble thy self, and beg forgiveness?
A44683	Upon what authority doth it rest?
A44683	Was all this without design?
A44683	We say, is it conceivable that mans knowing power should proceed from a cause that hath it not, in the same, or this more perfect kind?
A44683	What else but proud ignorance can hinder us from seeing that the more we know, the more there is that we know not?
A44683	What is this but to deny in particular what they granted in general?
A44683	What is this world( if we should suppose it still to subsist) without God?
A44683	What machine did ever man invent that had this power?
A44683	What so odd and uncouth composition can we form any conception of which we may not make exist at this rate?
A44683	What would the joy be worth in that hour, that arises from the hope of the glory to be revealed?
A44683	What would we think of such an appearance of God as that was upon Mount Sinai?
A44683	What( to instance in what seems so small a matter) if that little cover had been wanting at the entrance of that passage through which we breath?
A44683	What?
A44683	Whence it is that there are so unquestionable common notions every where received?
A44683	Wherefore if you ask, why can the work of making created being infinite never be done?
A44683	Wherefore there is no inconsistency between the infinite and finite beings?
A44683	Wherein then lies the great advantage these Atoms have by being in the body to their commencing rational?
A44683	Wherein were his Laws unequal?
A44683	Which though a well habited body( while the soul remains in this imprison''d state) do less hinder, yet how doth it help?
A44683	Who can say or think, when there can be so many sorts of creatures produced( or at least individuals of those sorts) that there can be no more?
A44683	Why are they in a state which they dislike?
A44683	Why not of omniscience as well?
A44683	Will we appeal to our faculties, to our reason it self?
A44683	Will we say such a Being, if he did actually exist, might ascertain us of his existence by some powerful impression of that truth upon our minds?
A44683	Will we say that meer humane shape is enough to prove such a one a man?
A44683	Will you say some kind of very glorious apparitions, becoming the majesty of such a one as this Being is represented, would have satisfied?
A44683	Would dreadful loud voices proclaiming him to be of whose existence you doubt have serv''d the turn?
A44683	Would it not rather have been pretended done in a corner?
A44683	Would they not presently, and with great amazement, confess an intelligent contriver and maker of this whole frame, above a Posidonius, or any mortal?
A44683	Would they not with the same impudence as you now do, say that all Religion were nothing else but Enthusiastical Fanaticism?
A44683	Yea, and what then?
A44683	Yea, but you must have pre- existent matter?
A44683	Yea, if he were only the entire Author of our own particular Being, how much more is that then the partial subordinate interest of an humane Parent?
A44683	Yea, or will tht once seeing, hearing, or feeling them suffice?
A44683	Yes, these are things that have( some way or other) the power of motion; and what can they effect by that?
A44683	Yet if that were admitted possible what will it avail?
A44683	Yet which of these is most subservient unto sense?
A44683	[ that an infinite body would exclude a finite; for where should the finite be when the infinite should fill up all space?
A44683	ad Pyth ● ci — Quae molitio, quae ferramenta, qui vectes, quae machinae, qui ministri tanti muneris fuerunt?
A44683	and ascribe the prime glory of the most excellent Being, unto that which is next to nothing?
A44683	and enable him sufficiently to reward it?
A44683	and hath such and such powers and properties belonging to it, as do occur to our notice therein?
A44683	and into what for another?
A44683	and is it only a casualty that it is not so?
A44683	and raze out impressions renew''d and transmitted through so many ages?
A44683	and say they knew of no such matter?
A44683	and that a few quirks of malapert wit will serve the turn to baffle the Deity into nothing?
A44683	and the sole judges of the propriety of words?
A44683	and these very notions which he opposes to each other, so as not to be confounded with his mind, and consequently with one another?
A44683	and to escape so unsupportable revenge?
A44683	and to trifle instead of giving a reason why things are so and so?
A44683	and unteach the world Religion?
A44683	and which may cut off all fear and danger of future calamity in this dark unknown state I am going into?
A44683	and which way would they inspire it with a seminal form?
A44683	and whither else will we?
A44683	and will have him and all things be by chance, or without dependence on any Maker?
A44683	are these the things that ultimately receive and discern the various impressions of objects?
A44683	as if our soul had no other act belonging to it, but that of willing?
A44683	as to make that so much narrower than this?
A44683	both where it is so immediately useful, or in the other things you would use for the service of that?
A44683	can it admit of rational demonstration?
A44683	could you have made such a thing as the stomach, a liver, an heart, a vein, an artery?
A44683	did he ever pretend to have seen any of these his vogued Gods?
A44683	dost thou know what thou sayest?
A44683	doth it because it includes it, therefore exclude it?
A44683	his Government grievous?
A44683	how for the negative?
A44683	into what mold or figure must it cast it self for one purpose?
A44683	is it a rational self?
A44683	is it a seed?
A44683	is it a thought?
A44683	is this altogether by chance?
A44683	or are they, by themselves, apart from this grosser body irrational?
A44683	or are we bound to to take their words for it?
A44683	or are you so very sure what the digestive quality is?
A44683	or can infinite power, even because it is infinite, do nothing?
A44683	or can they shew any product of humane device and wit, that shall be capable of vying with the strange powers of those machines?
A44683	or contribute to the sober consideration of things?
A44683	or did they take him for God, whom they believed to take no care of them, or from whom they expected no advantage?
A44683	or even defend the possibility of uncreated matter?
A44683	or how to manage it, so as to make it yield them one single flower, that they might glory in as their own production?
A44683	or if a good reason can be assigned for their difference, what shall be given for their agreement?
A44683	or if you are, and know what things best serve to maintain, to repair, or strengthen it, who implanted that quality?
A44683	or is every single Atom, that enters this composition, reason?
A44683	or is it a part?
A44683	or is it a principle of reason?
A44683	or is there no difference between being capable of reason and uncapable?
A44683	or no more than equal perfection with it self?
A44683	or of them as they were learned?
A44683	or that had in it a self- improving power?
A44683	or that such powers were not given on purpose for such operations?
A44683	or that there are things in the world capable of nourishment, or who would attempt an imitation here?
A44683	or was its cause only capable of intellectual perfection, but not actually furnished therewith?
A44683	or was the soul it self caused, and this its capacity uncaused?
A44683	or were the confining of this Being to the very minutest space we can imagine, no detraction from the perfection of it?
A44683	or what can it be understood to signifie?
A44683	or what is the reason of this your judgment?
A44683	or what is there in the properties assigned to this sort of Atoms that can bespeak it any of these?
A44683	or what they have not so much as thought of?
A44683	or when the assembly thinks fit to entertain it self with matters of this or that kind, what must be its different composure or posture?
A44683	or where will we fix the bounds of our censure?
A44683	or which they will judge impossible to have been otherwise produced than by the direction and contrivance of wisdom and counsel?
A44683	or who can certainly acquit himself?
A44683	shall I be the next hour nothing or miserable?
A44683	shall it be from the cause?
A44683	signifies, as it concerns us, what is the object of Religion?
A44683	so as against the rest of the world to name that God, from which they cut off the principal perfections wo nt to be signified by that name?
A44683	something, or nothing?
A44683	that is in the same kind, or in some more excellent and noble kind?
A44683	the Contemplative from the Active?
A44683	the Epicurean notion of him?
A44683	therefore you are as wise as your Maker?
A44683	those from the Political?
A44683	those so conveniently situate, one in so fitly opposite a posture to the rest?
A44683	to others, or to God himself?
A44683	to whom?
A44683	was Epicurus himself the common Oracle?
A44683	was that true before, which now your hard- la- boured dissent hath made false?
A44683	were they the Authors of this rare invention, or of any thing like it?
A44683	what Atoms are there to dispose to this sect more, and what to another?
A44683	what Joynt is not firm and strong in this little frame of discourse?
A44683	what business could then be followed?
A44683	what can an impression infer to this purpose that comes no one can tell whence or how?
A44683	what can be said or thought more absurd or void of sense?
A44683	what is lost from our cause by it?
A44683	what meant their Temples, and Altars, their Prayers and Sacrifices?
A44683	what shall be the medium?
A44683	what shall we suppose?
A44683	what should be the ground or pretence of doubt?
A44683	what then is his power?
A44683	what then, did this real something proceed from nothing?
A44683	when as yet he comprehended so much as to be the sole cause of all that is in me?
A44683	when so many things must concur that these actions might be performed by these organs, and are found to do so?
A44683	whence did it spring, or to what original doth it owe it self?
A44683	whence then came their capacity of observing, or of receiving such instruction?
A44683	where are my mighty demonstrations upon which one may venture?
A44683	where the studious Atoms may be very private and free from disturbance?
A44683	wherefore are they not full and satisfied?
A44683	who could intend the affairs of their callings?
A44683	who was appointed to inform the world in this matter?
A44683	why are not all things transposed in some minds, when such a posture of the Atoms as might infer it, is as supposable as any other?
A44683	why did he never tell men so?
A44683	why do they wish, and complain, is this God- like?
A44683	why is it not assigned?
A44683	why should we further spend our guesses what may possibly be said?
A44683	why what can this do?
A44683	will we think fit to say that all things we behold were as they are necessarily existent from all eternity?
A44683	would we not in any such case be determined rather by that which is more evident, than by what is more obscure?
A44683	wouldst thou have God out of being for this?
A44683	† And were this a fit means of ruling the world, of preserving order among mankind?
A44697	( else how by dwelling in love, do they dwell in God?)
A44697	245 Considering, There is a taking delight in one thing more than another, and should be something that is a known good?
A44697	A concealment and disguise of an heart inwardly bad and naught?
A44697	A disjointing and unhinging of the best and noblest part of Gods Creation from its station and rest, its proper basis and center?
A44697	A shattering and breaking asunder the bond between rational appetite and the First Good?
A44697	A turning all upside down?
A44697	Account he waits for your turning to him, as being inclin''d to friendship with you; Otherwise would vengeance have suffered you so long to live?
A44697	Again, Would you not be justly taken to disaffect one whose temper is ungrateful, whose disposition and way is unpleasing to you?
A44697	And a person of such worth and accomplishments as I, be thus brought down into the dust?
A44697	And again, Can you be confident that so much as you suppose, was true?
A44697	And bethink your selves, What would you then be esteemed?
A44697	And can it be thought the love of the great and blessed God should signifie less?
A44697	And can your ignorance of God be excusable or innocent?
A44697	And consider, Is it not a grievous thing to you?
A44697	And do we believe that when he hath won a person to place his delight and take pleasure in himself, He will requite him with a mischief?
A44697	And do we need it to a Life of Delight?
A44697	And do you not now see one to be delighted in?
A44697	And dost thou not yet see the horrid vileness of thy own heart in all this?
A44697	And doth it not then naturally aim at him and tend towards him?
A44697	And doth not that make your matter much worse?
A44697	And doth not your unaccustomedness to this blessed exercise resist the Tendency of that new nature?
A44697	And doth this import no enmity?
A44697	And have you not reason to be ashamed you have not known him better, and to better purpose?
A44697	And how absurd and vain is it to have our hearts set upon that which is not?
A44697	And how becoming is it of a man to have spent so much of his time in doing nothing?
A44697	And how can the relishable sweetness of gracious principles and dispositions signifie Gods being to be enjoyed or delighted in?
A44697	And how doth the temper of your heart and your practice, while you take not actual, ordinary delight in God, clash and jar with your profession?
A44697	And how full of guilt is your not- delighting in God upon this account?
A44697	And how highly doth this increase the offence?
A44697	And how is he so, when you seldom have a delightful thought of him, or look to him with any pleasure?
A44697	And how is that but by often thinking of him, as being a great part( and fundamental to all the rest) of what can be meant by this abode?
A44697	And how long will it be ere[ they believe me], for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
A44697	And if now he say to thee; After all this couldst thou take no pleasure in me?
A44697	And if some greater breach hereupon ensue between God and you, what becomes of your delight in him?
A44697	And if we should suppose the new creature alike maimed and defective, will there not be a proportionable diminution of its delight?
A44697	And in which respect it may fitly be said to thee, Dost thou thus requite the Lord, O foolish Creature, and unwise?
A44697	And is it not most vilely unnatural that thy spirit should be so sullenly averse to him, who is pleased to be stiled the Father of Spirits?
A44697	And is not that delightsome to be increased daily with the increases of God?
A44697	And is not that your case?
A44697	And is there another way of having them composed, and of restoring delightful friendly converse, than by your seeking his Pardon, and his granting it?
A44697	And is this a wise provision for Eternity?
A44697	And is this your love to him, or delight in him?
A44697	And it may be many such may take themselves for godly persons and lovers of God, and be mistaken as well as you; And what will that mend your cause?
A44697	And labour in this way to have that delight increased to that degree, that it may cease to be a question or doubt with you, Do I delight in God or no?
A44697	And now, Will we assume the confidence to tell God we think on him all that we can?
A44697	And ought it not to fill your Souls with horror, when you consider, you take no delight in the best and sovereign Good?
A44697	And ought you not to smite upon the thigh then, and say, What have I done?
A44697	And rather chuse to suffer the pains of death than of labour, by which your Soul might yet live?
A44697	And shall I not add[ The Love of God?]
A44697	And shall this be called too delighting in God?
A44697	And so that their pure Gospel, as they call it, is another Gospel, nay( because there can not be another) no Gospel?
A44697	And the reason is plainly assigned in the foregoing words, Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
A44697	And then how far are we from our mark?
A44697	And were those only customary forms with you, and words of course?
A44697	And what a bondage( as well as incongruity) were that relation without delight?
A44697	And what cause canst thou pretend of disaffection towards him?
A44697	And what do you mean by it, or seem to expect?
A44697	And what durst thou who knowest God, or rather art known of him, neglect so great and substantial a Duty?
A44697	And what else have you to delight in?
A44697	And what else is it, but somewhat communicated and imparted immediately from God to such?
A44697	And what is it better to pretend to it to no purpose?
A44697	And what is it?
A44697	And what is loving God with all our mind, so expresly mentioned in that great summary of our duty towards him?
A44697	And what is that an absurdity that under the name of Delighting in God, the several acts and exercises of Religion besides should be comprehended?
A44697	And what is that?
A44697	And what is the course they take hereupon?
A44697	And what is the reason of this so great difference?
A44697	And what need is there of apprehending its method to be quite another in its comforting- work?
A44697	And what need of that, while yet there is one way to avoid it?
A44697	And what now is to be done in this case?
A44697	And what proposition is there which a regenerate person can assent to, but one who is not regenerate may assent to it also?
A44697	And what shall your Religion serve for, that will not answer these purposes?
A44697	And what state and temper of spirit would be sutable to that supposition?
A44697	And what then?
A44697	And what though you think not of many to whom you bear no ill will, nor have any converse with many such; Is it enough to bear no ill will to God?
A44697	And what was that?
A44697	And what will you say to the great obligations which the love and kindness of God have laid upon you?
A44697	And what, Did they therefore dejectedly languish and despond, and give themselves up to sorrow and despair?
A44697	And what, do you find this?
A44697	And what, will you take up with that delusive unconversible shadow, or be content to embrace the stiff and breathless carcase that remains?
A44697	And what, wilt thou delight in a God that is not thine?
A44697	And where is that blessedness of which ye spake?
A44697	And whither tends it?
A44697	And why should this temper of spirit in the clearer light of the Gospel be look''t upon as an unattainable thing?
A44697	And why should you not be resolved in this point?
A44697	And why towards me?
A44697	And will you dream and slumber all your days?
A44697	And yet how few are there whose spirits are formed hereby to any seriousness agreeable to that perswasion?
A44697	Are not some things grateful and agreeable to you, in which you can and do take complacency?
A44697	Are these all that thou designest, or will mind to do for thy Soul?
A44697	Are these like well to supply the place of living Religion?
A44697	Are we to suspend the exercise of this duty till we have gotten the difficult case resolved?
A44697	Are you altered?
A44697	Are you no more concerned to mind God and converse with him, than with the man you never knew, or had to do with?
A44697	Are you under so much obligation to any?
A44697	Are you wo nt to displease your selves to please him, or cross your own will to do his?
A44697	Are you yet to learn, that a reasonable Soul needs the fulness of God to make it happy, and that there is no other God but one?
A44697	Art thou yet an harmless innocent creature, an honest well- meaning man for all this?
A44697	As if he had too little kindness for such as you would have him favour, and too much for others; Judging his love and hatred by false measures?
A44697	As if the enquiry were, What it is that I desire really to enjoy when I desire to enjoy a friend?
A44697	Being upon both those accounts( as well as that it resembles him, and is his living Image) called a participation of the Divine Nature?
A44697	Bethink your selves, is not the temper of your spirits just such Godward as it was always wo nt to be, without any remarkable turn or alteration?
A44697	But are not all these truly Delectable?
A44697	But because this brings us but where we were; Let it be further enquired, what then is your business with God, or what would you have of him?
A44697	But do you think so to shift and wave the obligation of an universal Law upon mankind, and all reasonable nature?
A44697	But for what purpose are we to have that apprehension?
A44697	But how can this delighting in God( communicating himself) be our duty?
A44697	But how little, and in how low a capacity, didst thou contribute to his being in comparison of what the great God did to thine?
A44697	But how shall we go about it?
A44697	But if you do not, What do you think alienation from the life of God will come to at last?
A44697	But if you think that horrid, and resolve to own something or other of Religion; Will you here use your understanding, and consider?
A44697	But is he out of the sight of your minds?
A44697	But is it fit it should be always thus?
A44697	But is this honest dealing?
A44697	But now before that new birth take place in the spirit of man, it wants but knows not what; craves indeterminately( who will shew us any good?)
A44697	But so we shall bring our whole Religion within the compass of this one thing?
A44697	But to this I say, Was this all that your Profession was in it self apt, and by you designed to signifie?
A44697	But what are your hearts most apt to delight in?
A44697	But what did he lastly aim at in this?
A44697	But what pretence can there be for such dealing with the God of Truth?
A44697	But when he represents his Love himself( as who but God can represent the Love of God?
A44697	But where is this temper of spirit to be found?
A44697	But will God indeed dwell on the earth?
A44697	But you should bethink your self, What a wretch am I, that am so ill- inclin''d?
A44697	Can he be a God to you that is not acknowledg''d by you as your very best, the universal, and absolutely all- comprehending good?
A44697	Can there be any dispute or doubt in the case, when there is but one thing to be done, besides yeilding ones self to be miserable for ever?
A44697	Can this stand with delight in him?
A44697	Can you allow your selves so to interpret his Covenant, and give this as the summary account of the tenor of it?
A44697	Can you approve your own way?
A44697	Can you delight in an enemy?
A44697	Can you find nothing wherein vainly to trifle, but the sacred things of the Great God of Heaven, and the eternal concernments of your own Soul?
A44697	Can you forbear with gratitude and joy to acknowledg and own it to him, that it is of his own hand that you do this?
A44697	Can you say, Lord, for thy sake I refrain the things to which my heart inclines?
A44697	Canst thou be content to look wistly on him, as one unrelated and a stranger?
A44697	Carries it not in it most horrid contumely and indignity to the most high God?
A44697	Consider, Is this still your case?
A44697	Consider, What doth your trust in God signifie, more than the sound of the Name?
A44697	Could He delight in such as you, and can not you in him?
A44697	Could you decline doing so without putting a slight upon his love, who is infinite in what he is, and who is love?
A44697	Could you have the confidence to put your self upon conversing with him as at former times, without such a preface?
A44697	Dare you think of throwing off his yoke?
A44697	Did you never find it good for you, in this way, to draw nigh to God?
A44697	Did you never try experiments for your pleasure?
A44697	Do we as we longer live by him ow him less?
A44697	Do we need further to be invited to a Life of delight?
A44697	Do we need to be prest with arguments to chuse delightful and wholesom food, rather than gall and wormwood, or even very poyson?
A44697	Do you aim at obeying him in these things?
A44697	Do you bear goodwill to him whose reproach and dishonour you are not concern''d for, yea, whom you stick not to dishonour and reproach?
A44697	Do you dislike thoughts of God?
A44697	Do you find your heart sluggish and indispos''d to any such transaction with God and Christ?
A44697	Do you love him whom upon all occasions you most causlesly displease; whose offence you reckon nothing of?
A44697	Do you not aim at a life of eternal delights with God?
A44697	Do you not allow your self to be licentious, earthly, vain, proud, wrathful, revengeful, though you know it will offend him?
A44697	Do you not desire to be better thought of?
A44697	Do you not disobey the known will of God in your ordinary practice without regret?
A44697	Do you not find your selves herein to have offended against that?
A44697	Do you not find, that so a wicked man( his enemy) is branded and distinguisht, God is not in all his thoughts?
A44697	Do you pretend to him, and know him not?
A44697	Do you suppose it possible, to delight in God and not think of him?
A44697	Does it not tend to an unlawful gratifying of the flesh, and fulfilling some lusts thereof?
A44697	Dost thou not see then how thou cancellest and nullifiest the obligation of all Laws, while thou hast no delight in God?
A44697	Dost thou think this will pass for a little offence in the solemn judgment of the great day that is drawing on?
A44697	Doth it decline and draw back?
A44697	Doth it purifie it, and check your ill inclinations, in any thing wherein they should be countermanded upon the credit of his Word?
A44697	Doth it quiet your heart, in reference to any affairs you pretend to commit to him?
A44697	Doth not He know the method and way wherein they are to be conveyed?
A44697	Doth not that imply that it was with the Psalmist a designed thing to meditate on God?
A44697	Doth not this bring us to delight in our selves?
A44697	Doth the Holy Ghost himself prescribe to us impertinently, in order to our obtaining of his own imparted influences?
A44697	For by what worse name can we call any thing than enmity to God?
A44697	For can men be happy in him in whom they take no delight?
A44697	For how can I rejoice in that whereof I have yet a doubt, whether it be what it seems or no?
A44697	For how just is it, to impute to it what it naturally causes, and lay its own impure and viperous births at its own door?
A44697	For is it our duty that he communicate himself in this way to us?
A44697	For is not any one more wicked according as he is more strongly inclin''d to wickedness and averse to what is good?
A44697	For it is an appeal to common reason in the case; as if it had been said, Can any man think that such a ones Religion will be lasting?
A44697	For let the question be put to such a person, Do you desire such a thing though God judg it will be hurtful to you or unfit for you?
A44697	For what Scripture saith so?
A44697	For what, are these things God?
A44697	For wherein is it less?
A44697	Further, Do you not acknowledg the blessed God to be the best and most excellent Good?
A44697	Gods Essence?
A44697	Great blindness and ignorance of God; For is it possible any should have known and not have loved him?
A44697	Had such opportunity of knowing him, and yet be ignorant?
A44697	Hast thou no need of quickening influence from God?
A44697	Hath he not spared you, when it was in his power to crush you at pleasure?
A44697	Hath his prohibition any restraining force upon your hearts?
A44697	Have I any cause to quarrel at this?
A44697	Have not those been your best hours, wherein you could freely solace your selves in him?
A44697	Have not your thoughts of God been few?
A44697	Have not your thoughts of Him been low and mean, such as have imported light esteem?
A44697	Have not your thoughts of him been slight and transient?
A44697	Have there not been perverse reasonings, with dislike of his Methods of Government over men in this present state?
A44697	Have they not been hard thoughts; full of censure, and misjudging of his Nature, Counsels, Ways and Works?
A44697	Have they not been overly superficial thoughts?
A44697	Have ye forgotten, that ye ever thus tasted how gracious the Lord was?
A44697	Have you Faith in God?
A44697	Have you any hope God will deal in a peculiar way with you from all men, and make the other world the place of your first heart- change?
A44697	Have you not been long at his mercy?
A44697	Have you not disbelieved the revelation he hath given of his Nature, and express declarations of his mind and purpose touching these matters?
A44697	Have you not in this neglect run counter to such instruction?
A44697	Have you not much the more to answer for upon this account?
A44697	Have you not( against his plain word) thought him irreconcilable, and averse to the accepting of any atonement for you?
A44697	Have you repented your Choice?
A44697	Have you that dependence on any Friend?
A44697	How cheap is the expence of a thought?
A44697	How contrary is this omission to what by solemn vow and astipulation you have bound your selves to?
A44697	How directly opposite is it to the Law of God?
A44697	How do things stand between him and you?
A44697	How do you, in this, carry towards the blessed God?
A44697	How far are you from that temper, Whom have I in heaven but thee, and whom do I desire on earth besides thee?
A44697	How grateful is the relish of this apprehension, both in respect of what it, in it self, imports, and what it is the root and cause of?
A44697	How long will this people provoke me?
A44697	How manifestly impossible is it, if there were not such a Good, that otherwise any thing else should ever have been good, or been at all?
A44697	How perverse a delight is that?
A44697	How plain and certain is this?
A44697	How strangely uncouth is it?
A44697	How tumultuous and disorderly a thing this your disaffection is?
A44697	How tumultuous and disorderly a thing this your disaffection to God is?
A44697	How unlike have yours been to such thoughts?
A44697	How vain then is that Religion by which we can neither please God nor profit our selves?
A44697	How variously and with how mighty demonstration hath that love exprest and evidence''t it self?
A44697	However, comparing what you sometime were with what you are, what difference do you observe?
A44697	I shall thus make nothing of my self: And what must all my natural or acquired excellencies go just for nothing?
A44697	If he should repent, In what case were you?
A44697	If not, Why take you not pleasure?
A44697	If not, we have no enjoyment; If any thing be, what is it?
A44697	If that be once understood, Hath it not in it self invitation enough?
A44697	If therefore it be inquired, Wherein the delight of this more imperfect sort doth consist?
A44697	If thou hast been always kind and indulgent, full of paternal affection towards him, Wouldst thou not think him a vile miscreant?
A44697	If you now begin not to live to God, when will you?
A44697	In what posture then are your affairs towards him?
A44697	Is he far from any one of us?
A44697	Is he not as much our Maker as he was theirs?
A44697	Is it a likely means of refining and bettering our spirits?
A44697	Is it fit to receive so much kindness with neglect?
A44697	Is it indeed so horrid a thing to disavow all Religion?
A44697	Is it less evident?
A44697	Is it not a greater thing that he is God, than that he is yours?
A44697	Is it not a merciful vouchsafement that the holy God allows you to place your delight on him, and invites you to it?
A44697	Is it not from God?
A44697	Is it not now as true, that the Lord reigneth, and is high above all the earth, and exalted far above all gods?
A44697	Is it not thus with you Godward?
A44697	Is it reasonable that he who is our Life, and our All, should never be thought on, but now and then, as it were by chance, and on the by?
A44697	Is it that reasoning is more liable to error and mistake?
A44697	Is not he thy Father —?
A44697	Is not the blessed God acknowledged to be the best good?
A44697	Is not the meditation of him with you an unwonted thing?
A44697	Is not this as sure and evident as any thing your senses could inform you of?
A44697	Is not your very profession then meer dissimulation and a lie?
A44697	Is that become no Duty which is the very sum and comprehension of all duties?
A44697	Is that ingenuous towards a Friend, or dutiful towards a Father or a Lord?
A44697	Is the matter less important?
A44697	Is there indeed such a Principle in you?
A44697	Is there not a real Delight to be had in them?
A44697	Is this a matter always to be waved?
A44697	Is this a small thing with you?
A44697	Is this a time to roll your self upon your slothful bed, and say, Soul, take thine ease, even upon the pits brink?
A44697	Is this the worse or the better?
A44697	It is a conviction against you, that you are of humane race, till it can be evidenc''t you are born from above, and are become new creatures?
A44697	It is the sense of holy Souls, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A44697	It may be again said; But if God be thus to be delighted in, how can delighting in him be upon such terms our duty?
A44697	It may be said, Doth not all this tend to bring us, instead of delighting in God, to delight in our selves?
A44697	It may be your sleeping Conscience did not find your self to offend: But do you not find your self to have offended it, now beginning to awake?
A44697	It''s answered, But you disrelish not the remembrance of a Friend; Do you not the thoughts of God?
A44697	Know you another way to be happy?
A44697	Let men value thee for these, to whom thereby thou shewest some respect; But shall he, who in the mean time knows thou bearest none to him?
A44697	Make a stand, and bethink your selves; Can you justifie your carriage towards him whom you have taken to be your God?
A44697	Many good works hath he done for thee; For which of these dost thou hate him?
A44697	May we do what we will with our thoughts?
A44697	Moreover, Who should delight in him but you?
A44697	Must you, do you see you must come to this point, of having your delight in God?
A44697	Nay, may''st thou not moreover truly say, that thou lovest this base impure earth more than God?
A44697	Not to delight in God therefore, What can it be but the very top of Rebellion?
A44697	Now hath not that Soul a spring of pleasure within it self, that is in these respects as God would have it be?
A44697	Now therefore if you did delight much in God, would you not be pressing hard after him?
A44697	O my people, What have I done unto thee?
A44697	Only it is to be considered, Do you intend to proceed in any course of Religion, or no?
A44697	Or can this deportment agree with habitual and the frequent actual delight in God which is requir''d?
A44697	Or can you think it was his meaning, and that he would expect no more from you?
A44697	Or didst thou do thy duty herein, by being only inclin''d to do it?
A44697	Or have you not been more peccant in your apprehensions of his rules and resolutions for the disposing of men as to their eternal states?
A44697	Or if he should be deprived of some of his senses, or natural faculties, so as to be uncapable of some of the more principal functions of life?
A44697	Or if it was, did you deal sincerely in that Treaty?
A44697	Or must it be done, and never be attempted?
A44697	Or that when all by nature are children of wrath, any are by nature lovers of him, so as to love him and be under his wrath both at once?
A44697	Or was it fit it should ly dead and bound up in the habitual principle, and not go forth( or very rarely) into act and exercise?
A44697	Or were it not great immodesty and impudence to offer at it?
A44697	Or would he deceive us by misrepresenting it?
A44697	Or would not the inclination, if it were right, infer( or otherwise is it like to last long without) sutable exercise?
A44697	Or, is it less consolatory?
A44697	Ought it not to cut your heart to find your self convicted herein of a disobedient omission?
A44697	Ought not your Experience to have been instructive to you; as it commonly is to men in other matters?
A44697	Should not the thoughts of him be pleasant to you from whom you are expecting so great things?
A44697	Should not this have obtain''d in thy practice, that ought to run through and animate all the rest?
A44697	Surely such conceptions are not impossible to you?
A44697	Than which what can be said or supposed more absurd?
A44697	That it doth herein no small thing; for is it a small thing to be ascertain''d of Gods fatherly love to us as his own children?
A44697	That it is a differencing character of his own people, That they thought on his Name?
A44697	That the saying of Esaias the Prophet might be fulfilled which he spake, Lord who hath believed our report?
A44697	That thou disaffectest him in whom thou knowest thou shouldst delight?
A44697	The knowledg of God, calling upon God, The fear of God,& c. How commonly are these acknowledged to be Paraphrases of Religion?
A44697	There is somewhat in you that would work towards God, and you suffer it not; And is that well?
A44697	Therefore seriously bethink your selves, Do you delight in God or no?
A44697	They are called the Spirit; for when we are caution''d not to quench the Spirit, how can that be understood of the eternal uncreated Spirit himself?
A44697	Think whither am I going?
A44697	This banishes delight, and drives it far away from them?
A44697	This yet more fully answers the enquiry when a person is said to enjoy God; what doth he immediately enjoy?
A44697	To be off and on, to say and unsay, that he shall be your God, and that he shall not,( for how is he your God if you delight not in him?)
A44697	To love him who had loved you first?
A44697	To make us become our own center and rest?
A44697	To talk of any difficulty in the matter, is a strange impertinency; for who would oppose difficulty to necessity?
A44697	Was not this the case?
A44697	Was this indeed your meaning?
A44697	We find it natural and pleasant to carry about with us our own living body; but who would endure( how wearisom and loathsom a task were it?)
A44697	Well then, is the case altered with you?
A44697	Were you not oblig''d to love him back again, who was so much before- hand with you in the matter of love?
A44697	What a Soul hast thou that can live upon chaff and air, and be sustained by the wind?
A44697	What absurdity the several acts of Religion should be comprehended under Delight in God?
A44697	What can any man have greater certainty of, in a meer human way, than all men have that they must dye?
A44697	What could hinder you to remember him, if you were so disposed?
A44697	What could hinder you, if your heart were inclin''d?
A44697	What difference do you observe?
A44697	What doth it mean that our Youth is challenged to the remembrance of him?
A44697	What fault, that delight runs through Religion?
A44697	What good Principle can you have in you God ward if you have not Love to him?
A44697	What hath thus carnalized your minds, that you favour only the things of the flesh, and Divine things are tasteless and without relish?
A44697	What have I to do any more with the Idols wherewith I was wo nt to provoke thee to jealousie?
A44697	What have you made God an unnecessary thing to you, while the Creature, your very Idols, lying vanities, were thought necessary?
A44697	What is it then that hath thy delight and love?
A44697	What is the difference between loving God, and delighting in him?
A44697	What is there then at the bottom, and under the covert of your yet continued profession at such times, but falsehood?
A44697	What is your present temper, in it self considered?
A44697	What is your present temper?
A44697	What should hinder?
A44697	What was there in it not delectable?
A44697	What wastes and desolations do they commit and make in their own Souls, by breaking the order God and Nature did at first set and establish there?
A44697	What were you, sometimes haters of God, and are you now come to love and delight in him, without perceiving in your selves any difference?
A44697	What will thy sobriety, thy justice, thy charity signifie, if thou hadst these to glory in, while thou art habitually disaffected to thy God?
A44697	What wouldst thou say to it if thy own Son did hate the very sight of thee, and abhor thy presence and converse?
A44697	What, ever learning and never arrive to this knowledg?
A44697	What, is our riper Age more exempt?
A44697	What, love him with all your soul in whom you can rarely find your selves to take any pleasure?
A44697	What, man?
A44697	What?
A44697	When Heaven in respect of the pure holiness, the calm serenity, the rest and blessedness of it, is now grown familiar to him, and his very element?
A44697	When did you check and contend with your own hearts upon these accounts, as they are wo nt to do?
A44697	When others say, Who will shew us any Good?
A44697	When they care not at what expence they make provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof?
A44697	When we are said to enjoy God, I inquire, Is any thing communicated to us, or no?
A44697	Whence can your not- delighting in him proceed, but from this, as its most immediate cause?
A44697	Whence is the glorious excellency of this great Creation, the beauty, loveliness, pleasantness of any Creature?
A44697	Whereby are Habits to be known but by the frequency of their acts?
A44697	Whereby hath he ever disoblig''d thee?
A44697	Whereby would you discern your hatred towards one you did most flatly and peremptorily disaffect?
A44697	Whereon is thy heart set?
A44697	Whether you should chuse him for your portion, seek rest in him, and place upon him your delight and love?
A44697	While you can take no pleasure( or do take so little) in God, is there nothing else wherein you take pleasure?
A44697	Whither are you sunk?
A44697	Who amongst all the people of the Jews at Mount Horeb, could have any doubt, but the Authority that avouched the Law there given them was Divine?
A44697	Who gave us our Idaea of that ever blessed Being?
A44697	Who gave us our thinking power, or made us capable of forming a thought?
A44697	Who is God save the Lord, and who is a Rock save our God?
A44697	Who restrains or forbids me?
A44697	Who would not recount with delight the unexpressible felicity of living under the governing power of such a one?
A44697	Why do we suppose our thoughts exempt from his Government, or the obligation of his Laws?
A44697	Why do you not rejoice and glory in it, even as he professes to do over you?
A44697	Why should it be reckoned less insolent to say our thoughts, than our tongues are our own, who is Lord over as?
A44697	Why towards me rather than others, not naturally more vile than I?
A44697	Why will you distinguish your selves by so debasing a character?
A44697	Will it be a grateful remembrance to thee that thou wast so long hovering about the borders of Religion?
A44697	Will not that confound and shame thee?
A44697	Will that suffice you to delighting in him?
A44697	Will you defer till you dye your beginning to live?
A44697	Will you not esteem your selves to have been thereby bound to place your love and delight on him?
A44697	Will you pause a while and deliberate upon it?
A44697	With how sweet and gentle allurements hath he sought to win thy heart?
A44697	Worship him so oft, and worship you know not what?
A44697	Would it not detract much from the natural pleasure of a mans life, if he should lose an arm or a leg?
A44697	Would not his thoughts( once become precious to you) be also numerous, or innumerable rather, as the sands of the Sea- shore?
A44697	Would not the word of an ordinary man, premonishing you of any advantage or danger which you have no other knowledg of, be of more value with you?
A44697	Would you not be ashamed the disposition of your heart towards him at such times should be known?
A44697	Would you not be very unapt to take up injurious hard thoughts of him?
A44697	Would you willingly be taken for such in all those long intervals wherein your actual delight in him is wholly discontinued?
A44697	Yea, doth it not tend to delight in him?
A44697	Yea, wil''t thou not see, that thine heart goes against thy Conscience all this while?
A44697	Yet how few( though we must suppose many convinc''t) did heartily believe in him?
A44697	You bend your minds and hearts another way; What are you doing then?
A44697	You do love God and delight in him, How do you make it appear?
A44697	You do not think on your absent Friends while no present occasion occurs, to bring them to your remembrance: But is God absent?
A44697	You have vow''d to him, What think you of this drawing back?
A44697	You may further say, God is out of your sight, and therefore how can it be expected you should find a sensible delight in him?
A44697	You often do not think on Friends with whom you have no opportunity to converse; Have you no opportunity to converse with Him?
A44697	You would dislike the thoughts of him, hate his memory, cast him out of your thoughts: Do you not the same way shew your disaffection to God?
A44697	Your lesser desires will be swallowed up in greater, and all in the Divine fulness; So that you will now say, Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A44697	[ Is there a real thorough work of God upon my Soul or no?]
A44697	a course of regular walking in through subjection to his Laws and Government?
A44697	and a life of pure devotedness to him?
A44697	and hereupon pronounce them blessed whom he did chuse, and cause to approach unto him?
A44697	and reckon the Earth too good to bear him?
A44697	and so much the worse and more vicious by how much it is more hardly overcome?
A44697	and that the course of my actions be as a continual sacrificing; doing all to him and for him?
A44697	and the fruits of the Tree of Life?
A44697	and the temper of your Spirit towards him is usually strange and shie?
A44697	and wast at the very door and wouldst not enter in?
A44697	and wherein have I wearied thee?
A44697	and whom can I desire on earth besides thee?
A44697	as being the first and fountain- Good, the fullest and most comprehensive, the purest and altogether unmixed, the most immutable and permanent Good?
A44697	as it were composed of delights?
A44697	casual only, and such as have dropt into your minds as it were by chance, fluid and roving, fixed neither upon him nor into your hearts?
A44697	especially if thou never gave him the least cause?
A44697	especially, if you have, or apprehend you may have nearest interest in such a creature?
A44697	from a good Principle or a bad?
A44697	his friends?
A44697	his sons?
A44697	is it indeed no duty to Love God?
A44697	no hunger after the heavenly hidden Manna?
A44697	of being really and habitually good and holy?
A44697	of doing good and walking in the path of life?
A44697	offerest violence to the very knot and juncture, wherein they all meet and are infolded together?
A44697	or alledg, the thing is hard which must be done?
A44697	or attempted, and not be resolved upon?
A44697	or delight in him to whom the very temper of their spirits is habitually unsutable and repugnant?
A44697	or have beheld his glory and not have been delighted therewith?
A44697	or have them useless and unserviceable?
A44697	or how can I delight in that I question whether I have or no?
A44697	or in respect whereof he hath not appeared altogether lovely?
A44697	or shall I not?
A44697	or was this indeed all that was this while to be got of God, the credit of being thought his?
A44697	or whereby is he said to enjoy God?
A44697	or will he be constantly religious?
A44697	or, what is most agreeable to your temper?
A44697	prescribed and set bounds to him, and thought your sin greater than could be forgiven?
A44697	such as care not for him, as value him not?
A44697	that it was a stated course?
A44697	those of his own house?
A44697	to dally with him as you would with an uncertain whiffling man?
A44697	to good or hurt?
A44697	to lug to and fro a dead carcase?
A44697	to serve thee instead of inward acquaintance with God?
A44697	was not his love enough to deserve yours?
A44697	what definition, so truly expressive of the natures of these things, can be thought, of unto which a carnal mind may not give its approbation?
A44697	what do we make of the God we serve?
A44697	what do you not now rejoice that you find your selves to offer willingly?
A44697	what doth God communicate or transmit, by which he may be said to be enjoyed?
A44697	what must we understand it to say or signifie to us?
A44697	what thing will you name, that shall supply the place of[ GOD] or be to you in the stead of him?
A44697	wherein doth that friendly and dutiful affection towards him evidence it self?
A44697	whither tends it?
A44697	whom we are bound to fear, and love, to trust and obey above all things, of him are we not bound so much as to think?
A44697	will not these be wounding thoughts?
A44697	will not this design, if prosecuted, prove an unjustifiable self- indulgence?
A44697	would you not be following on to know him?
A44697	— Why could not we cast him out?
A44666	& rather expose a naked, placid, free body, to naked, placid, free air?
A44666	''T is an aversation of will; and who sees not that every man is more wicked, ac- according as his will is more wickedly bent?
A44666	''T is more distinct and clear, Faith is taking a thing upon report; Who hath believed ● ur report?
A44666	''T were good sometimes to consider with our selves, what''s the object of our hope?
A44666	A blessedness, consisting in the Vision, and Participation of the Divine Glory?
A44666	A calm, serene thing; perfectly homogeneous, void of contrariety, or any self- repugnant quality, how can it disquiet it self?
A44666	A promise would give thee a full certainty of the issue, if it were absolute out of hand?
A44666	After I began to live the Spiritual new life; how slow, and faint was my progress and tendency towards perfection?
A44666	Again, how little doth it weigh with us?
A44666	Again, is he simply independent, as being self- sufficient and all in all?
A44666	Again, is it righteous to deny the Lord that bought thee, to neglect that great salvation which he is the Authour of?
A44666	Again, what amazing Visions wilt thou have?
A44666	And art thou not ashamed that this should be thy usual temper, how much soever thou conceal it from the notice, and observation of the world?
A44666	And art thou not ashamed to pretend an agreement with God about the thing it self, and yet d ● ffer with him about a circumstance?
A44666	And art thou therefore resolved to shut thine eyes, and cry peace, peace?
A44666	And as much expect to be gratified as we?
A44666	And as to forbidden things, should we be so proud, so passionate, so earthly, so sensual, if we had God more in view?
A44666	And by sealing up our eyes against the divine light and glory, to confirm so formidable miseries upon our own souls?
A44666	And canst thou not consider, and reason the matter thus?
A44666	And do we know none that lead stricter, and more holy lives then we, that, are yet in the dark, and at a losse in judging their Spiritual states?
A44666	And do we not sensibly punish our selves in this neglect?
A44666	And do you lead that heavenly raised life?
A44666	And dost thou not without scruple believe many things of which thou never had''st so unquestionable evidence?
A44666	And doth it not argue a low, sordid Spirit ▪ not to desire and aim at the perfection thou art capable of?
A44666	And had we rather( if we were in danger of suffering on the Christian account) run a hazard, as to the latter, then adventure on the former?
A44666	And hath he not furnish''t thee with a self reflecting power, by which thou art inabled to look into thy self?
A44666	And hath not the eternal glory those characters upon it of purity, and loveliness beyond all things?
A44666	And have we not professedly, as a fruit of our avowed love to him, surrendred our selves?
A44666	And hence, Canst thou avoid considering, this is a distressed case?
A44666	And how inexpressible a condiscension is this?
A44666	And how long- liv''d dost thou think that peace shall be that thou purchasest upon so dear, and hard tearms?
A44666	And how much doth relation and propriety endear things, otherwise mean ▪ and inconsiderable?
A44666	And how useful an indowment is this to the nature of man?
A44666	And if God bear with the sinfulness of our present state, is it not reasonable we should bear with the infelicitie of it to his appointed time?
A44666	And if a man enter upon an enquirie into himself; what more important question can he put then this; In what posture am I as to my last and chief end?
A44666	And if thy time expire, and thou be snatcht away in this state, what will become of thee?
A44666	And if we do consider, is not every thought, a sting?
A44666	And indeed all sin may be reduced hither, what else is sin( in the most comprehensive notion) but an undue imitation of God?
A44666	And is not the contrariety here as great?
A44666	And is there any thing to be done by a dead man in order to life?
A44666	And must his death serve, not to destroy sin out of the world, but Christianity?
A44666	And now, who can estimate the blessedness of such a soul?
A44666	And that a vertuous good man i ● liable to no hurt?
A44666	And the commonness whereof doth as little detract from the reproach, and sinfulness, as from the danger of it?
A44666	And then what can be more absurd, or unsavory?
A44666	And then, Is it not to be considered, that thy time is passing away apace?
A44666	And then, how knowest thou but he hath also determined concerning thee, that thou shalt die the next day or hour?
A44666	And then, what more proper english can this text be capable of, than it hath in our Bibles?
A44666	And therefore in this, deal faithfully with thy own soul, and demand of it; Dost thou esteem this blessednesse above all things else?
A44666	And this being the state of thy case, what more significant expression canst thou make of thy contempt of Divine goodness?
A44666	And what are his Commandments, but those expresses of himself, wherein we are to be like him, and conform to his will?
A44666	And what are we not yet wearie?
A44666	And what can be more frivolous than that fore- recited reasoning to the contrary?
A44666	And what canst thou pretend, why, what is now the best, and most desirable good, should not be now chosen, and desired out of hand?
A44666	And what else are you now doing?
A44666	And what hast thou hitherto met with in the world, that should so highly endear it to thee?
A44666	And what reply then should we be able to make?
A44666	And what would''st thou therefore sit still and do nothing; Then how soon would that Idleness draw on gross wickedness?
A44666	And what, do not all men in all the ordinary actions of their lives act, allowable enough, with intuition to much lower ends?
A44666	And when this Temple is filled with the glory of the Lord, the soul it self replenished with the divine fulness, will not its joy be full too?
A44666	And whence should they have it, but from the Old Testament?
A44666	And whereas he came to bless thee in turning thee from thine iniquities, wilfully to remain still in an accursed servitude to sin?
A44666	And whereto can we impute it but to this, that our spirits are not yet sufficiently connaturallized to them?
A44666	And while thou so fallest in with the world, how highly dost thou gratifie the pretending, and usurping God of it?
A44666	And yet is it possible you should think this to be true, and not think it a most important truth?
A44666	And yet that he is thy God?
A44666	And( what is consequent hereupon) How seldom is this blessed state the subject of our discourse?
A44666	Are Gods own reports of the future glory unworthy our belief or regard?
A44666	Are Tribulation& Patience antiquated names?
A44666	Are not these of equal authority?
A44666	Are there not too apparent Symptomes with us of the little joy we take in the forethoughts of future blessedness?
A44666	Are these things little with us?
A44666	Are things onely desirable and lovely to thee, as they are deformed?
A44666	Are thy chie ● est solicitudes, and cares taken up about it, least thou should''st fall short, and suffer a disappointment?
A44666	Are we grown wiser?
A44666	Are we not ashamed to consider what confidence, and desire of death, some Heathens have exprest?
A44666	Are we not his devoted ones?
A44666	Art thou ally''d to that blessed Family?
A44666	Art thou contented to live long in the world, to such purposes?
A44666	Art thou not ashamed to think what thy desires are wo nt to pitch upon, while they decline and wave this blessedness?
A44666	Art thou not daily haunted with Divine Horrors?
A44666	Art thou not under the Gospel?
A44666	Art thou sure when thou shalt have lain at the Worlds Breast ten or twenty years longer, thou wilt then imagine thy self to have drawn it dry?
A44666	As if in all this he had pleaded thus; Lord thou hast abundantly indulged those men already, what need they more?
A44666	As to enjoyned services, what; should we venture on omissions, if we had God in our eye?
A44666	As to the other notion of it; how can it be lesse grateful to behold the wisdom that made, and govern''d the world?
A44666	Ask therefore the holy Soul, What is thy Supreme desire?
A44666	Before the renovating change, how frequently doth the Scripture speak of sinners as men a sleep?
A44666	Besides, are you sure you believe the grand Articles of the Christian Religion?
A44666	Bethink thy ▪ self a little, how low art thou sunk into the dirt of the earth?
A44666	Better, man?
A44666	But Consider, what art thou?
A44666	But a discontented spirit, is a sensual, terrene spirit( for what, but such objects are the usual matter of most mens discontents?)
A44666	But art thou not in all this afraid of charging God foolishly?
A44666	But as thy case is I can not wonder that the thoughts of death be most unwellcome to thee, who art thou that thou shouldst desire the day of the Lord?
A44666	But do not dayes pass with us, wherein we can allow our selves no leasure to mind the eternal glory?
A44666	But do we indeed pretend to such an expectation?
A44666	But doth not the thoughts of this shake our very souls, and fill us with horrour, and trembling?
A44666	But foolish wretch, dost thou know what thou sayst?
A44666	But have I not reason to fear I shall but add sin to sin, in all this?
A44666	But how common, and unregretted are these carriages towards the blessed God?
A44666	But if we should desire still to be so, why may not all others as well as we?
A44666	But is it a thing tollerable to thy thoughts, that thou should''st yeild that heart obedience to the Devil against God?
A44666	But man dyeth and wasteth away; yea man giveth up the Ghost, and where is he?
A44666	But must the great God lose his due acknowledgements because we will not understand wherein he deals well with us?
A44666	But now how little do we find in our selves of this blessed frame of spirit?
A44666	But take away the Gospel and where art thou?
A44666	But that thy Spirit should labour under an aversion towards thy highest good, towards thy blessedness it self, is not that a dismal token upon thee?
A44666	But thou awakest into that great and terrible day of the Lord( dost thou desire it for what end is it to thee?)
A44666	But to how little purpose is it to equivocate with God?
A44666	But what then?
A44666	But what''s this to thy case?
A44666	But what, art thou now dreaming, while thou thus reasonest?
A44666	But what, canst thou act upon no lower rate then a foregoing certainty, a preassurance of the event?
A44666	But who is so hardy to look the holy God in the face and sin against him?
A44666	But who sees not the enmity, and disaffection of mens hearts towards God is the more deeply rooted, and less superable evil?
A44666	But with what triumphs hath the holiness of God himself been celebrated even by Saints on earth?
A44666	But yet consider doth it not better become thee to be grateful, then repine that God will one day unbind thy Soul and set thee free?
A44666	But( Besides that this is that which every one pretends to) is every thing which is necessary, sufficient?
A44666	Can a Child contribute any thing to its first formation?
A44666	Can any say, they ever had a promise to ascertain them that profaneness and sensuality would bring them to Heaven?
A44666	Can not your tongue pronounce these words, what shall I do to be saved?
A44666	Can the love of God live and grow in an unquiet, angry, uncharitable breast?
A44666	Can we think t is all this while well with us?
A44666	Can you have been under the Gospel so long, and be strangers to yourselves?
A44666	Can you separate this in your own thoughts from the highest satisfaction?
A44666	Can you tell wherefore you are a Christian?
A44666	Can''st thou savour nothing, but what smells of the Earth?
A44666	Can( in a word) the state of that soul be unhappy?
A44666	Canst thou say, thou art already certain of thy eternal blessedness?
A44666	Christianity aims at nothing; it gets a man nothing; if it do not procure him a better Spirit?
A44666	Christians, and not know your selves?
A44666	Consider then, wilt thou persist in such a temper and disposition of mind, as all men condemn?
A44666	Consider what awaking hast thou?
A44666	Consider, how blessed a satisfaction dost thou lose?
A44666	Consummatio denique libertatis est, cum homo in Deum, felicissimo gloriae coelestis statu, transformatur;& deus omnia illi esse incipit?
A44666	Couldst thou upon deliberate thoughts judge it tollerable, should he doom thee to this earth forever?
A44666	Darest thou venture thy soul upon it?
A44666	Darest thou venture upon a resolution of giving God and Christ their last refusal?
A44666	Demand of thy self, is my soul yet made heavenly?
A44666	Descend patiently the chambers of death, not so much as once thinking, whether are we going?
A44666	Deum, amicitia est conciliante virtute, amicitiam dico?
A44666	Did Christ die, to take away the necessity of our being Christians?
A44666	Did he promise thee thy being; or that thou should''st live to this day?
A44666	Did it become us not to open our eyes, while he was opening Heaven to us, and representing the state which he designed to bring us to?
A44666	Did they eye God more, would they not sin lesse frequently and with greater regret?
A44666	Did thy reason ever turn off thy soul from God?
A44666	Did''st thou ever hear he was so little a lover of souls?
A44666	Do all passages of this kind in Scripture stand for cyphers or were they put in them by chance?
A44666	Do not your thoughts run the same course with theirs, that meditated nothing but sitting on the right and left hand of Christ, in an earthly dominion?
A44666	Do the thoughts of it continually return upon thee?
A44666	Do we account we shall be ill dealt with, and have an hard bargain of it?
A44666	Do we mean to plead the prescription against all this?
A44666	Do we not know that while we are present in the body, we are absent from the Lord?
A44666	Do you believe that unrighteousness will be the death of your soul?
A44666	Dost thou foreknow, when thou eatest, it shall refresh thee?
A44666	Dost thou not think that Soveraign power is as sufficient to determine of the circumstance, as the thing it self?
A44666	Dost thou savour it with pleasure?
A44666	Dost thou think he will not accept a returning soul?
A44666	Dost thou yet no better understand thy case?
A44666	Doth he not offer, and afford to serious, diligent souls, the assisting light of his blessed Spirit to guide, and succeed the inquirie?
A44666	Doth it give any ground to look for any thing but death after sin?
A44666	Doth it not expresly preclude any such expectation?
A44666	Doth not every thing naturally tend to its ultimate perfection and proper end?
A44666	Doth that person know God, or hath ever seen him, that falls not into the dust, admiring so glorious a Majesty?
A44666	Doth the Merchant foreknow, when he Imbarques his goods, he shall have a safe, and gainful return?
A44666	Even such as lead the strictest lives, and are seldom found to transgress, are not their sins found to begin with forgetting God?
A44666	Examine, and search more narrowly into thy earthly comforts, what is there in them to make them self- desirable, or to be so for their own sakes?
A44666	Felix, Quod simulacrum Deo fingam?
A44666	For a miserable perishing wretch to use Gods means to help it self, doth that look like merit?
A44666	For can any man imagine what other end Religion naturally serves for, but to bring men to blessedness?
A44666	For how must we understand the i ● finitum they are said to see?
A44666	For instance, is he absolutely Supream, in as much as he is the first Being?
A44666	For is our so gross sensuality no sin?
A44666	For what can be more conspicuous in them, then a purposed comparison and opposition of two States of Felicity mutually each to other?
A44666	For what do we use ● o reckon so certain as what we see with our eyes?
A44666	For what doth God the Lord require but fear and love, service, and holy walking, from an intire and undivided Soul?
A44666	For what doth that design, but to bring men to blessedness?
A44666	For what is that righteousness which qualifies for it, but the impress of the Gospel upon the minds and hearts of men?
A44666	For what is this righteousness other than this blessedness begun, the seed and principle of it?
A44666	For, First, How few thoughts have we of it?
A44666	For, to what purpose is it to hide any thing from man?
A44666	Fourthly, Canst thou pretend it to be impossible?
A44666	Further, Canst thou not consider the power, and fixedness of thy aversation from God?
A44666	God binds himself to do what he promises; but hath he any where bound himself to do no more?
A44666	Had the same nature with us; the same reason, the same intellectual faculties and powers; but what monsters are they now become?
A44666	Hast thou any relation to that Heavenly Progeny?
A44666	Hast thou no hope if the Gospel stand in force?
A44666	Hath God left thee under a necessitated ignorance, in this matter?
A44666	Hath he ever done thee hurt?
A44666	Hath he seen him that loves him not, and delights not in his love?
A44666	Hath not Religion an aspect towards Blessedness?
A44666	Hath that person ever seen God, that acknowledges him not a sufficient portion?
A44666	Have all such words a barbaro ● s sound, in your ear, can you not consider what sense is carried under them?
A44666	Have patience with me and I will pay you all?
A44666	Have we a discharge to shew?
A44666	Have we been deaf and dead, while he hath been calling us into eternal glory?
A44666	Have we been dreaming all this while, that God hath been revealing to us this glorious state?
A44666	He came, and returned to prepare a way for you?
A44666	He found the men of time, whose portion was in this life, to be deadly enemies, wicked oppressors, proud insulters?
A44666	He hath got the prospect, at last, into that heart, where where the great thoughts of love were lodg''d from everlasting?
A44666	He sees what made God become a man?
A44666	He that hath learn''d to mortifie the inordinate love of the Body, will he make it the business of his life to purvey for it?
A44666	He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen; how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?
A44666	He therefore that hath made( that hath new formed) this eye shall not he be seen by it?
A44666	Here was a thing fit to be reflected on, as a piece of Divine Royalty?
A44666	His hopes form his Spirit and Deportment; But is it Proportionably so with us?
A44666	His suffering on the Cross, and foregoing obedience, against his Spirit and Government in the Soul?
A44666	Ho ● clear are its apprehensions?
A44666	How are the thoughts and wits set on work for this flesh?
A44666	How are we mockt with their impostures?
A44666	How can we forbear to be angry with our selves, that so glorious an end should not more powerfully attract?

A44666	How full is thy mind, and heart of vanity?
A44666	How fully will this image or likeness satisfie then?
A44666	How great is our offence and loss that we live not in such more constant views of God?
A44666	How hardly are we convinc''t of our necessary dependance, on that free Spirit, as to all our truly Spiritual operations?
A44666	How hath my soul been somtimes ravisht with the very thoughts of such a temper of Spirit, as hath appeared amiable in my eye, but I could not attain?

A44666	How little can a clod of earth suffer, in comparison of what an immortal Spirit may enjoy?
A44666	How long is it ere we can get our Souls possest, with any becoming apprehensions of God, or lively sense of our own concernments?
A44666	How low are our Spirits sunk that we disdain not so base a vassalage?
A44666	How many miserable abortions after travailing pangs and throwes, and fair hopes of an happy birth of the new Creature?

A44666	How unsuitable is this to the character which is given of a Saints love?
A44666	How well doth it become us to set the Lord alwayes before us?
A44666	How would''st thou judge of the like resolution?
A44666	How, often, when the active part of a Christians duty is spoken of, is the passive part studiously, and expresly annexed?
A44666	However, wh ● t could be imagined more absurd, than that the substance of the soul should be a creature, and its faculty God?

A44666	In a word; Is it righteous to tread under foot the Son of God, to vilifie his Blood, and despise his Spirit?
A44666	In as much as the difficultie, though great, is not insuperable, and the necessity, and advantage incomparably greater?
A44666	Indeed, what is the whole of our life here but a dream?
A44666	Into how weak and languishing a condition hath it brought the Religion of professed Christians?
A44666	Is God less to be believed then a man?
A44666	Is God true when he promises?
A44666	Is he to be accounted a righteous person that thinks it fit to avoid wronging a man, but makes no conscience at all of wronging God?

A44666	Is it not a pleasant thing so to spend and be spent?
A44666	Is it not an over bold desire?
A44666	Is it not enough that perishing wretches, that were within one hands breadth of Hell, are saved except they be also deified too?
A44666	Is it not enough, that their avarice be gratified, except their malice be also?
A44666	Is it not much more reasonable it should be thus with us towards him?
A44666	Is it not so?
A44666	Is it not strange our very Bridewel, should be such a Heaven to us?
A44666	Is it not the day of thy hope, and of the Lords grace, and patience towards thee?
A44666	Is it not then obvious to thee to consider that the temper of thy Spirit must be changed, or thou art undone?
A44666	Is it nothing to have heard so much of Gods gracious Nature?
A44666	Is it reasonable to continue in this State of our own choice?
A44666	Is it righteous to estrange thy self from him, and live as without him in the world?
A44666	Is it righteous to forget him, dayes without number, not to have him from day to day in all thy thoughts?
A44666	Is it righteous to harden thy heart against his fear and love?
A44666	Is it righteous to live all thy dayes in a willing ignorance of the Author of thy being, never once to enquire where is God my Maker?
A44666	Is it righteous to live as no way under Law to Christ?
A44666	Is it that thou believest the blessedness of the other state will prove better then any thing thou canst enjoy here?
A44666	Is it that thou canst not endure to look upon so dreadful an object, as the appearing danger, or possibility of thy being miserable to eternity?
A44666	Is it therefore the safest course to go on in a manifest rebellion against God, till possibly he may do so by thee also?
A44666	Is it thy reason, or thy sloth that makes thee sit still; and forbear to look into thy Spiritual affairs?
A44666	Is it to be thought that such blessedness should not more affect our hearts, nay would it not ravish away our very souls, did we throughly believe it?
A44666	Is it, that we can devise to fasten here and there another sence upon divers such?
A44666	Is misery become so natural to us, so much our element, that we can not affect to live out of it?
A44666	Is not a Pledge, and Earnest, a first Fruits more?
A44666	Is not one death enough?
A44666	Is not the Word of God the Immortal Seed?
A44666	Is not this a pleasant life?
A44666	Is nothing grateful to thy Soul, but what is corrupted by so vicious, and impure a tincture?
A44666	Is our love to God so faint and weak, that it dares not encounter Death, nor venture upon the imaginary terrours of the Grave to go to him?
A44666	Is that at length become thy God?
A44666	Is that our love that we never care to come nigh him?
A44666	Is that the way?
A44666	Is the Beggar afraid thou should''st interpret his coming to thy door, and seeking thy alms, to signifie, as if he thought he had deserved them?
A44666	Is the Father of Spirits thy Father ▪ Is the world of Spirits thy Country?
A44666	Is the eternal glory an undesirable thing?
A44666	Is the price, and worth of eternal glory fal''n?
A44666	Is there no way to honour his grace, but by affronting his authourity?
A44666	Is this Flesh of ours so lovely a thing that we had rather suffer so many deaths in it; then one in putting it off and mortality with it?
A44666	Is this that we will stand by?
A44666	Is this the righteousness that thou talkest of?
A44666	Is this thy gratitude to the Father of Glory?
A44666	Is thy soul stupifi''d into a Clod?
A44666	It is not necessary?
A44666	It is thy Father that disposes thus of thee, how unworthy is it to distrust his Love?
A44666	It might well therefore be said, I had fainted, if I had not believed( or who can express how sad my case had been, if I had not believed?
A44666	It satisfies a Deity, will it not a worm?
A44666	Knock of thy Letters and deliver thee out of the house of thy bondage?
A44666	Know ye not?
A44666	Le ts view it well, and then demand of our own souls, why are our desires so faint and slothful?
A44666	Let me demand of thee, if thou canst not yet go somewhat further then considering?
A44666	Let me demand of thee; dost thou this regret the thoughts of death, as being unwilling to dye at all, or as being unwilling to dye as yet?
A44666	Let us bethink our selves, are not the principal distempers of our Spirits, and disorders yet observable in our lives to be refer''d hither?
A44666	Materially or formarlly?
A44666	Moreover, how can it escape thy serious reflection?
A44666	Must the hopes of all the world be ruin''d to establish thine?
A44666	Nay what Armour shall defend thy Soul, against its own wounding self- reflections hereupon?
A44666	Never mention so venerable a name, if you will not be very jealous of the honour of it; will you give God occasion to charge you?
A44666	O how tender are we grown in comparison of the hardiness and magnanimity of Primitive Christians?
A44666	O my soul, what''s the reason that thou so drawest back, and hangest off from thy God?
A44666	Or canst thou pretend, though thou hast no preassuming promise, thou hast no hope?
A44666	Or do we think it impossible, we should ever come to the trial, or be concern''d to busie our selves with such thoughts?
A44666	Or is the eternal truth of suspected credit with us?
A44666	Or should we serve him as an hard Master, with sluggish, despondent Spirits?
A44666	Or we hear, but our own miseries repeated in their complaints, would we pray?
A44666	Or wilt thou say he is thy God, whom thou never desirest to enjoy?
A44666	Or, for the avoiding the pains and miseries of the former kind, incur those of the latter?
A44666	Reason hath overcome it, natural courage, yea, some mens Atheism, shall not Faith?
A44666	Religion an acknowledged tri ● le, a meer mockery?
A44666	Repentance is that by which we become like the holy God; to whom our sin had made us most unlike before; how sweet are kindly relentings?
A44666	Seeking first the Kingdom of God,& c. would not this sound strangely?
A44666	Shall Christianity here confess it self out- vy''d?
A44666	Shall God be waiting all the day as on purpose to catch our eye?
A44666	Shall their Gentilism outvy our Christianity?
A44666	Shall they comfort themselves upon so wretched a ground, with a little Sophistry, and the hope of extinguishing all desire of immortality?
A44666	Should n ● t a people seek unto their God?
A44666	Should not a people seek unto their God?
A44666	Should we dare to let pass a day, in the Even whereof we might write down nothing done for God this day?
A44666	Should we not be as unapt to forget Heaven, if our delight were there?
A44666	Sure there is little of Heaven in all this?
A44666	That so vast a change could be made in thy state, without any at all in the temper of thy Spirit?
A44666	That they have whatsoever they can conceive desirable for themselves, unlesse they may also infer what ever they can think mischievous on me?
A44666	That* between God and good men, there is a friendship, by means of vertue; a friendship?
A44666	That, in general, which I shall propose, shall be onely the misery of the unrighteous?
A44666	That, whereas, if you ask any man of common understanding what he doth this or that action for?
A44666	The Object, the glory beheld: what a spring of pleasure is here?
A44666	The entire scene of this sensible world, but a vision of the night?
A44666	The g ● and design, of all Religion, and the very Spirit of the Gospel; than this temper?
A44666	The notion of an unholy( or a not- holy, and not- just) God what wickedness would it not induce?
A44666	The one is a participation of a bright, and mild light from heaven; the other of a dark, and raging fire from Hell?
A44666	There are some lucid, and vivid intervals, but of how short continuance?
A44666	Therefore what now do we think of it?
A44666	These things concur then, concerning the object;''t is most excellent( even divine) entire, permanent, and theirs: How can it but satisfie?
A44666	They say they have been Baptized, and therein regenerate, and what would we have more?
A44666	They sometimes cry vehemently in the undressing; but should their cryes be regarded by the most indulgent Parent?
A44666	This hath been the language of sinful dust, Who can stand before this holy God?
A44666	This is my happiness to behold and enjoy this blessed God?
A44666	This monstrous absurdity it infers( and how strange is it, that it should not be reflected on?)
A44666	Thou canst yet further consider, that it lies not in thy power to turn thy own heart( or else how comest thou thus to object?)
A44666	Thou that livest under the Gospel, hast thou any pretence for thy( seeming) ignorance in this matter?
A44666	Thy servant devoted to thy fear, a man finds they fit his spirit, and are aptly expressive of the true sense of his soul; is it not a grateful thing?
A44666	To be remov''d from the solitude, or rudeness of the Country, to a City, or University; What an alteration doth it make?
A44666	To be withheld from that, wherein its life lies?
A44666	To how many thousand objects is the mind of man indifferent?
A44666	To what purpose is it to make your boasts of this Faith?
A44666	Try, lift at thy heart, see if it will be raised God- ward, and Heaven- ward?
A44666	Upon which the resolution of this depends; am I ever likely to enjoy it, yea or no?
A44666	Vain Man what?
A44666	We are not all flesh, what have we done with our souls?
A44666	We are unstable as water, how can we excel?
A44666	We complain the world troubles us, then what do we there?
A44666	Were it consistent with his Nature, what could be his design to put a cheat upon poor mortal dust?
A44666	Were it possible for thee to repent, and become a new man, what settles the connexion between Repentance, and Salvation but the Gospel- promise?
A44666	What Champion inur''d to hardship, would stick to throw off rotten rags?
A44666	What Chymistry can extract heaven out of a clod of clay?
A44666	What a difficulty is it to watch but one hour?
A44666	What accession should be made to that infinite self- fulness by deluding a Worm?
A44666	What alwayes learning, and yet never come to the knowledge of the truth?
A44666	What art can make blessedness spring and grow out of this cold earth?
A44666	What bo ● nds wilt thou fix to it, which thou darest undertake it shall not pass?
A44666	What cause have we of impatience or complaint?
A44666	What child would be afraid to compose it self to sleep in the Parents bosom?
A44666	What course would''st thou take in any other distress, wherein thou knowest not what to do to help thy self?
A44666	What difficulties would hence be solved?
A44666	What grievance, or burden is it to do the dictates of nature?
A44666	What if he had totally hidden from us our future state; and that we know nothing, but of going into an eternal silent- darkness?
A44666	What is it but an exposing things to view?
A44666	What is perfect admits no increase;''t is already full, and why should not a full glory satisfie?
A44666	What is so sutable to the Gospel Revelation, as a good temper of heart Godward?
A44666	What necessitates thee to it?
A44666	What need is there to presse this Doctrine with hard consequencies?
A44666	What serious heart, apprehensive of its own concerns, can without much patience, hold out under such an expectation?
A44666	What serves revelation for, but in order to vision?
A44666	What should induce thee to think thou mayst be saved by him, whether thou believest, and obeyest or no?
A44666	What then is the first inbeing in Christ no special grace?
A44666	What they import and signify?
A44666	What thoughts will they have of it,* when their eyes can behold that glory?
A44666	What violence is there done to reasonable nature in all this?
A44666	What was the ground of thy mistake?
A44666	What were the affairs of thy Soul not thought of till now?
A44666	What will be the glory of their cause?
A44666	What would''st thou think if thou had''st nothing but the Sophisms of such to oppose to all thy dismal thoughts?
A44666	What ● elicity are men wo nt to imagine to themselves in this or that change of their outward condition?
A44666	What, but the Gospel gives the least hope to Apostate sinners?
A44666	What, to be oppressive, envious, contentious, deceitful, proud, turbulent, wrathful, morose, malicious, fretful, and peevish, and yet a Christian?
A44666	What, to let so much time pass, and not spare him a look?
A44666	What, to lose, and endure so much, because thou wilt not now a little bestir thy self, and look about thee?
A44666	What, to wink our selves into so much darkness, and desolation?
A44666	What, wish eternally to be affixt to a Clod of Earth?
A44666	What?
A44666	What?
A44666	When God speaks to thee, is it needless for thee to hear him?
A44666	When it compares humane nature in its highest perfection, with the same nature in its utmost depravation?
A44666	When it shall dwell in the contemplation of it self?
A44666	When my eternal blessedness lies upon it, had I not need to be sure, that I hit the true meaning of these Scriptures?
A44666	Whence then do we think that modern familists have fetch their admired non- sense?
A44666	Where is that stupid soul that reckons it an indifferent thing to attain this blessed state, or fall short of it?
A44666	Where is their fear, obedience joy, and praise, who are through the fear of death all their lives subject to bondage?
A44666	Wherein wilt thou believe one upon the bare value of his word, that will lie to thee in any thing?
A44666	Which was written first the Iliad or the Odysses?
A44666	Who can reflect upon his present state, and not presently be in pangs?
A44666	Who can stand before apprehended sovereign Majesty, with such a temper of soul ● shall signifie an affront to it?
A44666	Who can tell, before hand, what so free and boundless goodness will do; further then as he himself discovers it?
A44666	Who is he that shall harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
A44666	Who that understands any thing of the Nature, and Majesty of God, dare call him for a witness of his sinning?
A44666	Whom have they had their original instructors?
A44666	Why are we required to speak to them that will not hear?
A44666	Why art thou not affraid, lest thy present unwillingness, should cross his present will?
A44666	Why do we not cry out more feelingly, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this Body of Death?
A44666	Why do we not more frequently bless our eye, with that sight?
A44666	Why have we so few thoughts of him in a day?
A44666	Why therefore shall not this satisfaction be conceived full and perfect?
A44666	Why, suppose we such a thing, as an entire Sphere of nothing else but pure light; what can work any disturbance here?
A44666	Will he offer violence to his own Soul, to secure it from violence?
A44666	Will it not rather be pleasing to him that his outward man be exposed to perish while his inward man is renewed day by day?
A44666	Will the violated Law of works accept thy Repentance instead of Obedience?
A44666	Will we disavow our selves to belong to that noble Society of them that through Faith and Patience inherit the promises?
A44666	Wilt thou dare then to adopt those profane words, what profit is it to pray to him?
A44666	Wilt thou yet say in the hand of him that slayeth thee I am a God?
A44666	With how lively a lustre would it cloath the world?
A44666	With what sounding bowels, with what compassionate tears, should the state of mankind be lamented, by all that understand the worth of a soul?
A44666	Would his sleeping on, till the Officers arrest had awak''t him, have mended the matter with him?
A44666	Would they not with an heroick scorn, turn away their eyes from beholding vanity, did they consider their own capacity of beholding the divine glory?
A44666	Would we have all his Designs to be still unfinisht?
A44666	Would we meditate?
A44666	Would we not think our selves mock''t, if God should command us these things, in order to our being happy?
A44666	Yea further, can the c ● ● tous man pretend a promise, that his unjust practises shall inrich him?
A44666	Yea further, is it not a monstrous unnaturalness towards thy self, as well as impiety towards God, not to desire that perfect, final blessedness?
A44666	Yea, and doth not the expectation of it seem as presumptious, as the issue it self would be strange?
A44666	Yea, can we not please our selves with very uncertain groundless hopes of this kind, without promise or valuable reason?
A44666	Yea, will they not cease to be wise in their own eyes also; when they see the issue, and reap the fruits of their foolish choice?
A44666	Yea,( what is nearer the present purpose) did he promise thee a station under the Gospel?
A44666	Yet, in which of these cases would''st thou chuse to be found at last?
A44666	You have now what to answer to the Atheists profane Querie; what profit is it to serve God?
A44666	a manumission from all the suffering part of a Christians duty?
A44666	a perpetual Hostility, a very Tilting at his Cross?
A44666	a thing unlawful to be affected, as it seems impossible to be attained?
A44666	a thought?
A44666	a worshipper, in thy very soul, of the creature, more then of the Creatour?
A44666	actions that easily, and freely slow from their own principles; and when blessedness it self is infolded in those very acts and inclinations?
A44666	and act the wickedness thou canst not think of?
A44666	and all the powers of the soul beset on work, by the attractive power of that glory?
A44666	and be guilty of so odious a thing, as shall be censured& blamed by the common concurrent vote and judgment of mankind?
A44666	and can it operate to this purpose, without being heard, or read, and understood, and considered, and taken to heart?
A44666	and crave his merciful relief?
A44666	and discern whether thou be of them or no?
A44666	and expose thy sacred truths and counsels, to the contempt of sinful worms?
A44666	and hasten misery as if it came on too slowly?
A44666	and how absurd it is to introduce the cause, on purpose to exclude its genuine inseparable effect?
A44666	and how is it a means to compass that design, but as it tends to ingage mens spirits to design it too?
A44666	and how much toil?
A44666	and how much would it contribute to the ease and quiet of our minds?
A44666	and is he not as true when he threatens?
A44666	and is it not a discharge also from being Christians as much?
A44666	and is it not much more desirable, in a matter of this consequence to be at some certainty?
A44666	and more ungrateful to our ears and hearts, then heaven and eternal glory are acceptable?
A44666	and most uncapable of converse with him?
A44666	and must we, because that end can not be attained here, therefore go the quite contrary way?
A44666	and not express my sense thereof?
A44666	and prudent to indeavour it, if it may possibly be attain''d?
A44666	and save thy life?
A44666	and set thee a crying to the God of mercy for relief and help?
A44666	and setting this lovely prospect before our eyes?
A44666	and shall not we, by cherishing the blessed hope of injoying shortly an immortal glory?
A44666	and so mighty wheeles stand still for us?
A44666	and that thou art not willing eternally to be deprived of?
A44666	and that thou so limitest thy self?
A44666	and the polluted pleasures of a filthy world better to thee then the eternal visions and enjoyments of Heaven?
A44666	and the return of the Soul to its God?
A44666	and thy mind and heart, as it were naturally, run out to it?
A44666	and vanquished Corruptions, recover strength?
A44666	and we studiously decline him, and still look another way, as of choice?
A44666	and what a torture again hath it been that I could not?
A44666	and what is it but choice?
A44666	and what, wilt thou remain uncertain?
A44666	and when you have reason''d the matter with your self, you find it to be certainly so; should not such a thing be more deeply pondered?
A44666	and whose power is so absolute over thee, as to all thy concernments, both of time, and eternity?
A44666	and why do I conceive so?
A44666	and with how mighty a weight thy heart is carried, and held down from him?
A44666	and yet leave them involv''d in the common ruine too?
A44666	and yet more weary of holding in?
A44666	and yet undesirous of the same blessedness?
A44666	are all thy delights centred in a Dunghill?
A44666	are not Souls begotten by that Word to be the first fruits of his creatures?
A44666	are our expectations pitc ●''t upon a valuable good?
A44666	are these thy qualifications for the everlast- blessedness?
A44666	are they not such as are common to thee with them that are of a false Religion?
A44666	as if we knew not what we were about?
A44666	as it is in Jesus to the putting off the old man, and putting on the new?
A44666	as well as those, pray what do you to think of the weather?
A44666	bent upon eternal blessednesse or no?
A44666	but dost thou not think it is now better also?
A44666	but to sin, that grace may abound?
A44666	can we pretend a necessity to forget him all the day?
A44666	can we think this a tollerable evil, or suffer, with patience, such a distemper of Spirit?
A44666	can you not bethink yourself; do the doctrines of God, and Christ, and the life to come, signifie something or nothing?
A44666	can''st thou look upon no glorious thing with a pleased eye?
A44666	canst thou defer thy misery by forgetting it?
A44666	canst thou find a way of being for ever blessed without God, or whether he will or no?
A44666	canst thou not bear the thoughts of eternal misery, how wilt thou bear the thing?
A44666	canst thou promise thy self an hour?
A44666	canst thou wink Hell into nothing; and put it out of being, by putting it out of thy thoughts?
A44666	consider your state, can that be your blessedness which you desire not?
A44666	couldst thou ever look one quarter of an hour into the Bible, and not meet with some intimation of this truth?
A44666	cujus 〈 ◊ 〉 bonum 〈 ◊ 〉, ac 〈 ◊ 〉, ac 〈 ◊ 〉 cons ● ●?
A44666	did he promise thee the bread that sustains thee, the daily comforts of thy life?
A44666	did it proceed from a good mind, or a bad?
A44666	do you live in those sweet and ravishing comforts of the Holy Ghost, that may bespeak you one whom he hath sealed up to the day of redemption?
A44666	dost thou bend all thy powers to pursue, and presse on towards it?
A44666	dost thou not find it is as if thou wert lifting at a Mountain, that it lies as a dead weight, and stirs not?
A44666	feel now again thy heart, try is it not at least coldly affected towards this blessed state?
A44666	for it s present content?
A44666	for what is there am ● ng all beings, that can be stable or consist, if God do not by his own touch, stay and sustain the nature of it?
A44666	had''st thou not rather be any where else?
A44666	hast thou no sense with thee of any thing better and more excellent?
A44666	hath it a sweet and grateful relish to thy Soul?
A44666	hath not God spoken plainly enough?
A44666	have I any thing to do with it?
A44666	have all our senses been bound up all this while?
A44666	have we a more plausible reason to alledge, that the discovery of such a glory mov''d us not to desire it; then that we believed it not?
A44666	have we not heard enough of Heaven to allure us thither?
A44666	how art thou plunged into the mity Ditch?
A44666	how careful should we be that our eye may at every turn meet his?
A44666	how dreadfully, shall we, herein, revenge our own folly in nullifying him to our selves, who is the All in All?
A44666	how empty of God?
A44666	how few would believe them serious, or in their wits?
A44666	how indisposed did I find my self to the proper actions of that life?
A44666	how is my Spirit framed towards it?
A44666	how little would it cost us, and yet how much of duty might it express, how much of comfort and joy might it bring into us?
A44666	how pleasant, and delightful a rest, arising both from the sight of so much glory, and so peaceful a temper, and constitution of Spirit?
A44666	how soon doth the awakened soul close its heavy eyes, and fall asleep again?
A44666	how would''st thou lay the design?
A44666	if once thou shake the truth of God, what wilt thou stay thy self upon?
A44666	if we can not see God with our eyes, why do we not with our minds?
A44666	in every thing conformed unto this holy nature and will?
A44666	in what a case art thou then?
A44666	intimating it was an unsupposeable thing they should be ignorant; What?
A44666	is Christ devided, and devided against himself; Christ without, against Christ within?
A44666	is it possible ye can be ignorant of this?
A44666	is it the thing it self, or only the circumstance of time, that thou exceptest against?
A44666	is not this thy very case?
A44666	is there any word of promise for the encouragement of one in my case?
A44666	least thou should''st intrench upon the freeness of Divine bounty?
A44666	making a much deeper impression, then what only toucheth our flesh and bones?
A44666	may''st thou not lose thy purchase, and price together the next moment?
A44666	must we understand by it him that is infinite onely, or else as he is infinite?
A44666	no unrighteousness in thy obstinate, remorsless, impenitency?
A44666	not to desire that blessedness which alone is suitable and satisfying to a reasonable and spiritual being?
A44666	not to glorifie him in whose hands thy breath is?
A44666	now a Christ or I perish?
A44666	of getting a more refined, heavenly temper of soul, art thou weary of thy dross, and earth, and longing for the first fruits the beginnings of glory?
A44666	onely to gratifie a Sensual, Bruitish Humour?
A44666	or a Creature to its coming into being?
A44666	or account it a more worthy design, then the representing of such a Scene of actions and affairs by Puppets on a Stage?
