A54077What is the sum and substance of the true Religion?
A54077When God restoreth Religion and raiseth it up in power, whether then Forms and Wayes of Worship without the Power, must not needs wither and decay?
A54077When the Power first appeared in the dispensation of the Gospel, did not all the shadows of Moses''s Ceremonies fly away and vanish before it?
A54077Where the Power ariseth in any heart, what becomes of the man there, with all that springs from him?
A54077Whether God will restore Religion again in the Power?
A54077Who seeth what God is about to do in the world, and prepareth his heart for his administrations on the earth?
A54077and whether he hath already begun it, and made any progress in it?
A54077and whether the time be near, that God is about such a work?
A54077or rather, do they not set up their several Forms, and maintain them in wrath and enmity against each other?
A54077what becomes of all his Forms of Religion?
A54077where is his former Worship?
A54077where is his wisdom?
A54077whether he hath such a work to do in the world?
A54077who hath the Key to open the Mysteries of Life?
A54077who knoweth the times and the seasons?
A54028And is it not the property of this Light to convert to God?
A54028Can Christ and his Light be separated?
A54028Can any man receive his Light and be united thereto, and not receive him?
A54028Can any man receive this and be united to this, and it not change his nature?
A54028Can any thing convert fallen man to God, but Christ?
A54028Can these, in this state, possibly understand Truth, or know the inward spiritual, precious appearances thereof, either in their own hearts or others?
A54028Dost thou know the difference between reading the Scriptures with the vail on thee, and with the vail off?
A54028Dost thou read the Scriptures with the unvailed eye?
A54028Dost thou witness this Promise fulfilled to thee?
A54028Doth not Christ enlighten every man that cometh into the World?
A54028For how can it be otherwise, when the righteous Life is revealed and brought up into dominion in him?
A54028For no man can confess Christ( how then can he receive him and walk in him?)
A54028How may the Principle of Truth be discerned?
A54028How may this Principle ● ● eed or Pearl) be purchased and possessed?
A54028Now, where it is so, the Devil or Lust can find no place of entrance: and how then should they be able to sow their Seed and bring forth sin?
A54028O consider seriously, is the vail done away from thee?
A54028O this is an hard saying, who can bear it?
A54028So that there may be a great outcry in the heart, Who can stand before this holy Lord God?
A54028Was it the Law of works in the hand of Moses?
A54028Well: how will God redeem her?
A54028What Law was this, or what Law is this?
A54028What is Sion?
A54028What is the Principle of Truth?
A54028What was that holy Covenant?
A54028Who can bring the clean, pure Light of the Law, out of the unclean, impure reason of man?
A54028Why should not the Israel of God hope to enjoy this?
A54028Why so?
A54028Would not God have all men to be saved?
A54028and doth he not give to all, a proportion of the true Light whereby they may be saved?
A54028concern?
A54028dost thou read in the Anointing, in Christs Spirit, in the pure heavenly Wisdom of the divine Birth?
A54028hath any thing power to convert to God, but his pure Law of Life?
A54028or is it the Law of Faith in the hand of Christ?
A54028s.n.,[ London: 1667?]
A54028shall we be consuming with dying?
A54028what should stand in the way of it?
A54028who were the Israel that was to inherit this promise?
A54028who were to be so redeemed?
A54026And how can I blame others for judging thus of them, when I my self should be liable so to judge, if I did so look upon them?
A54026And shall not these be the Lord''s?
A54026And will not the Lord assist that Magistrate, who in his fear waits on him, and is not willing to spare the evil, and afraid to hurt the good?
A54026But where is that man, who joyns with this Witness in him against the Evil, and not with the Evil against this Witness?
A54026But will not this undermine Magistracy, and interrupt its punishing of evil- doers, if they should be thus tender and considerate?
A54026Can a Dove persecute?
A54026Can a Lamb persecute?
A54026Can any hinder God from breathing his Spirit upon People, and from begetting them in the image and likeness of his Spirit unto Himself?
A54026Can darkness chuse but fight to save its own dominions?
A54026Can the Powers of the Earth withstand God any more now, than they could formerly?
A54026Christ himself, when he asked the Jews, for which of his good works they stoned him?
A54026Could the Jews think they did otherwise than well in desiring such a man as this to be put to death?
A54026For what man can not pretend Conscience for what he does?
A54026His spiritual Israel from the spiritual Egypt?
A54026How did Amalek cause his name to be rooted out from under Heaven?
A54026How did the Nations and mighty Powers of the Earth fall upon this account, one after another?
A54026How many of his own People did Pharoah lose, and how did he break the strength and glory of his Kingdom, by persecuting God''s Israel of old?
A54026If the case be knotty, yet if God give wisdom, hath the Magistrate cause to complain?
A54026Is it not good to weigh and consider things reasonably, and then to chuse and hold fast to those Principles which appear most reasonable?
A54026Shall He not break the Antichristian Yoak from their Consciences, that they may be free in spirit to serve the Lord?
A54026The Children of God are as the Apple of his Eye: Who can touch them, and He not be deeply sensible?
A54026The eye of man( in the fallen and corrupt estate) can not see aright: and mis- seeing, how can he chuse but mis- aim and mis- act?
A54026VVhat man is there that hath not in him a Witness against that which is Evil?
A54026What hath been set up all this night of the Apostacy, but Images of the true Worship?
A54026Where is the man that would appear to persecure that which is good in men, or men because of their goodness?
A54026Who can want Instruments to afflict the innocent and helpless, who can neither resist the evil which is offered them, nor harm that which offers it?
A54026and mis- aiming and mis- acting, how can he attain his end?
A54026and what compelling hath there been thereto?)
A54026shall not He redeem and bring forth his People from the Land of Babylon?
A54026shall not the same Spirit teach them to worship the Lord?
A54026what man, but will say it is?
A54069And is not every one wise in his own Eyes, and strong in his own Tower and fenced City?
A54069But dost thou want power to begin the travel with?
A54069But that which cries, how shall I get out of Egypt?
A54069Dost thou walk in the light, which shineth upon thee in that dark land, to gather and lead thee out of it?
A54069Hast thou begun thy travel?
A54069Hast thou not light enough already to begin thy travel out of Babylon?
A54069Have not every sort bent the Scriptures, in the Reasonings of their own Minds, and made them speak according to their own hearts Lusts?
A54069How can Man do this?
A54069How can they in the Wilderness but want that, which is to be possessed in the Holy Land?
A54069Is there any uniting with God, or enjoying of God, but by his Spirit?
A54069Is this true?
A54069It is the unbeliever hangs back, and cries where shall I have power?
A54069Man overlooks the Talent, joyns not his heart to it, brings not forth the fruits of Life to the giver, but cries he wants power, and what is he?
A54069Now let men consider, will this stand before the Throne of God?
A54069Now mark: Is it possible for any man to come to the Eternal Rest, that travels not the Path?
A54069Or wilt thou not begin to come out, till the very glory and brightness of Sion shine upon thee?
A54069What doth he require of Man?
A54069What had become of Paul, if he had had Power to resist the buffettings of the enemy, as he desired?
A54069Whether God be not so near to every man, as that possibly he may seek after him and find him?
A54069and wheher God will fail to impute it to that man?
A54069and whether his Divine Light let into him( being believed in and obeyed) will not purify him from the darkness, unbelief and disobedience?
A54069can he cleanse his own heart?
A54069can he kill his corruptions?
A54069can he quicken himself?
A54069dost thou want what proportion of power the Lord fees necessary for thee in thy present estate?
A54069doth he not appear there by his Light,& in his Power?
A54069is not this his plea, that he wants power?
A54069is there any receiving of Gods Spirit, but within in the heart?
A54069may he not do it?
A54069or, whether he would have only some few of them to receive it and be Saved, and the rest to Perish?
A54069what can he do?
A54069which way shall I ever be able to pass through this intricate wilderness?
A54069who shall bound his Spirit?
A54069would not his fleshly part have remained in the exaltation, and not have been brought down?
A54037All the thoughts, words and actions of man, what are they?
A54037And here I am told, t is not my condition alone, but the condition of others also; yea of all men, Who can know it?
A54037And yet is she not now thus laid open to the sight of every observing eye, and espied under all these by them that watch her?
A54037Did not this appear to be the dress of Self, which she made use of, and threw off at pleasure?
A54037Does he any wrong?
A54037How comes this to pass?
A54037How eagerly does he maintain the excellency of that which he commends, the worthlesness of that which he dispraises?
A54037How many contentions are dangerously begun and chargeably maintained, meerly to humour a mans own will?
A54037How many fleshly principles prevail in thee?
A54037How much more when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
A54037How?
A54037I say, Wilt thou judg another for murder?
A54037Is he angry?
A54037Is it not a strange thing, yet very common?
A54037Is thy servant a dog?
A54037Lord, What is man?
A54037Oh there is a desperate root of wickedness in us all; Can you blame him to be at enmity with it?
A54037See what all is, and must needs be, that flows from the man; from such a bitter fountain what can proceed, but it must be bitter?
A54037Sure here is integrity, here is the naked Glory of God, and good of the Nation springing up: Who would think to find Self lie lurking close here too?
A54037The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it?
A54037Then for his Actions, how highly does he think of them also?
A54037Well, shall I tell thee what I think?
A54037What base unworthy actings, unbeseeming men of honor or ingenuity, did Self put those noble spirits upon?
A54037What canst thou acquit thy self of, that thou judgest another for?
A54037What cost will a man be at to set up his own will?
A54037What pains will a man take to maintain his own wisdom?
A54037What wouldst thou think?
A54037Wherefore have we fasted?
A54037Who can know it?
A54037Who can know it?
A54037Who is there that looks not on the more hideous part of Evil, at least, as at a distance from himself?
A54037Wilt thou condemn Antichrist?
A54037Wilt thou judg another for Adultery?
A54037Wilt thou judg another for fleshly principles, and fleshly actings?
A54037Wilt thou judg another for murder?
A54037Would you know what man is?
A54037who can finde thee in thy cuning shifts, who canst lodg wickednes so secretly in thy heart, that thou thy self knowest it not to be there?
A54047( Is it not thus?
A54047And hath it not been so?
A54047And how could it be otherwise?
A54047And what sort of persons were they who did most contend for, and were most pleased with these?
A54047Are not the people of God in every change a despised people, and their integrity towards God still struck at?
A54047Consider seriously in the sight of God( who looketh both forward and backward upon things with a true eye) whether it hath been thus or no?
A54047Doth not the least child Light see it to be thus?)
A54047Eightly, How came it about, that the supream Magistrate of this Nation, was made cheif head and governor of this Church under Christ?
A54047Fifthly, What kind of Church Government was set up?
A54047Fourthly, What kind of Worship was it, which was set up?
A54047O England, England, can God alwayes suffer these things?
A54047O weigh these things, look about thee, O England: O Rulers, Teachers, and People look about you?
A54047Of persons changed in heart?
A54047Of persons sensible of the fore going idolatry, and turned in their souls, minds, and spirits from dead Idols towards the living God?
A54047Or did men frame up a Church Government by their wisdome, and put it into the hands of such, as might exercise it without, yea and against the Spirit?
A54047Or was it a maintenance forced from the people, by that outward power which set up the Church?
A54047Or was it for the pleasing and satisfying of the carnal part in people?
A54047Or was not rather the heart of the Nation still inclined towards Popery, even while it was turning into a Protestant Church?
A54047Seventhly, By what wisdome was the Common Prayer Book compiled and set up, and surplices, crosses, and other cerimonies injoyned?
A54047Shall we not be Protestants in truth and uprightness of heart before the Lord?
A54047Shall we not fear the Lord?
A54047Shall we not obey the Lord?
A54047Shall we not worship the Lord our God, who hath redeemed, and is redeeming our souls from death?
A54047Sixthly, What kind of order was set up in this Church?
A54047Therefore look back singly, and consider what the building was, and how it was reared up; and see whether it was of God, or no?
A54047Thirdly, What kind of maintenance was set up for this Ministry?
A54047Was it a Gospel maintenance?
A54047Was it a pure spiritual Government?
A54047Was it built up of a people truly converted to God?
A54047Was it by the wisdome of Gods Spirit, for the building up of the spirits of his people in the faith?
A54047Was it put into the hands of the spirit?
A54047Was it that they should live of the Gospel, which can not but open mens spirits to the true Ministers thereof?
A54047Was it the order of Christs Spirit, whereby the carnal wisdome of man might be quenched, and his spirit have scope?
A54047Was it the true Gospel order?
A54047Was it the worship of the Gospel, which is in spirit and truth?
A54047Was this from Christs institution, or of mans wisdome and invention?
A54047Were they materials fit to make up a true Church of?
A54047Were they, for the generality, the stricter, or the looser sort?
A54047What wouldst thou have of us?
A54047Will not his hand at length be stretched forth against thee?
A90392Again, Look into the tenor of your Call and Trust: Were ye ever entrusted herewith by the People?
A90392And groan likewise for the liberty of the sons of God: for what do ye know but your Liberty may spring up with theirs?
A90392And if things should yet devolve lower, into the great and confused Body of the People, is it likely they would keep their limits?
A90392Are not such and such things evil?
A90392Are there any Laws wanting?
A90392Are there any Laws, Customs, or Encroachments burdensom?
A90392But every one here will be ready to say, What is that Power which is proper to Parliaments?
A90392But where are ye?
A90392Can they submit to the Laws, Ordinances and Constitutions of man concerning their God, while an higher light is set up in them?
A90392Can ye tell me, whence ye came, whither ye are going, where ye now are?
A90392Did they chuse you for this end?
A90392Do ye consider this?
A90392Do ye understand your selves?
A90392Doth PARLIAMENTARY POWER keep within its limits?
A90392Have ye a Commission from them, I mean not formally, but so much as vertually, intentionally?
A90392Have ye took notice what, this long season, hath been doing among you?
A90392Having such advantage of Power in their hands, what is it which might not be done for publique good, if men had hearts, and were in a right way?
A90392He also stirreth the mud in a Nation, and who then can settle it?
A90392He speaketh Peace and Settlement to a Nation, and who then can speak Trouble or Disturbance?
A90392He who wanteth deliverance, and knoweth not where to obtain it; what is more proper for him, then to groan and pant after it?
A90392How can that be?
A90392How is that?
A90392How shall we resolve this fairly and clearly( resolve it indeed we may in our own Judgments and Consciences) when the limits of it are not determined?
A90392Is it not worth more to recover the Liberty of a man?
A90392Is it, or ever was it, the minde of the People?
A90392Is not the Legislative Power as prone to intrench upon the Administrative?
A90392Is there a Government wanting?
A90392Shall I put you in minde?
A90392The Nations of the Earth have still layn under Slavery, have not ye your selves felt it?
A90392They called you to rectifie Government, that is clear enough; but did they call you to govern?
A90392What charge will a man be at, in a Suit of Law, to recover a peece of Estate?
A90392What man is it that judgeth not another?
A90392Who would not, when he feels oppression, if he were able, thrust the Oppressor out of his seat?
A90392Why what ground is there for this?
A90392Would ye not creep out, and do ye think to creep out with ease?
A90392and he that judgeth another thinketh himself free, at least in that respect wherein he judgeth another: but what is said here?
A90392and in so doing, is it not likely to prove as afflictive?
A90392and what is that work, which they are not fitted for, entrusted with, or appointed to?
A90392do ye act like men?
A90392doth not the person deserve to be judged for them?
A90392or are ye led and driven up and down like brute Creatures?
A90392what is that Power of a different nature, which will be so dangerous for them to assume?
A90392what is their proper work?
A90392who knoweth that?
A54040& c?
A5404013?
A540402 Is there such a state to be witnessed, as of the Maker to become the Husband?
A540402. of seeking God daily, and delighting to know his wayes, as a Nation that did Righteousness, and forsook not the Ordinance of their God?
A540404. Who is this that hath been afflict ● d, tossed with tempest and not comforted?
A540405 Who is this, whose stones God layes with fair Colours, and her Foundations with Saphires?
A540408.9?
A54040And did not he act in the Father, and the Father in and through him?
A54040And hath the Lord appeared to these, visited th ● se, built up these, comforted these?
A54040And he that walks according to this rule, can he err in so walking?
A54040And they who are taught by him to keep it( and do faithfully keep it) do they not inherit this Promise?
A54040Are not these of the true Seed of Jacob( who prevail with the Lord for the blessing?)
A54040Are there any now among the Sons of men, whose light hath risen in obscurity, and whose darkness hath become as noon- day?
A54040Are there not many Professions and sorts of Professors at this day, who in Gods sight fall short of this state, and yet think highly of themselves?
A54040Are they not the same which the Soul is to walk in?
A54040But did God create him to destroy his heritage?
A54040By whom do they gather together, who gather together against such a people?
A54040Did he not walk in the Light of Gods Spirit?
A54040Doth God require such fasting or praying of any man?
A54040Doth not God teach his Children in the new Covenant to observe this fast?
A54040Every tongue that riseth up in judgment against them, doth not the holy Tongue condemn?
A54040Hath not God created the Waster to destroy?
A54040How did Christ walk?
A54040Is it inferior in nature to the Fast before mentioned?
A54040Is it the Law- Sabboth, or the Gospel- Sabboth?
A54040Is not the just mans path and his dweling place all one, even the Light of the Living, which he is both to walk and abide in?
A54040Is not this the Heritage of the Servants of the Lord, in this our day?
A54040Now, doth not he give forth a measure of the same Spirit, of the same Anointing, of the same Power to become Sons unto all his?
A54040Or will God suffer him so to do?
A54040They that keep Gods holy Sabboth, do they not delight themselves in the Lord?
A54040Was not the Covenant of Life so adorned in the Apostles days?
A54040Was not the Father alwayes with him?
A54040Was not the fulness given him?
A54040What are the Paths that are to be dwelt in?
A54040What is the fast which God requireth, and will accept in all Ages?
A54040What was the Transgression and the Sins which the Prophet was not to spare them in, but lift up his Voice like a Trumpet against them for?
A54040Who can understand or learn the fast, but he that is taught of God?
A54040and are not they to walk according to the measure of Light and Life they receive from him?
A54040and do not such as come to this state( even to be married to the Lamb) partake more abundantly of his redeeming ● ower and holy Presence?
A54040and doth not he limit him in the midst of his destroying work?
A54040and doth not the Lord say( what ever men say to the contrary) that their Righteousness is of him?
A54040and hath not he power over him?
A54040and is she not so adorned now again?
A54040and will he not be as tender of his spirit ● ● l Israel, in the day of his redeeming and delivering them?
A54040do they not feel the pleasure of his Day, and of his Appearance in his day?
A54040in Subjection to Gods Spirit?
A54040or will the Lord accept such fasting or praying at any mans hand?
A54040whose Windows God makes of Agates, and her Gates of Carbuncles, and all her Borders of Pleasant Stones?
A90394ANd what if I should say, that this should be the course and progress of the Judgment?
A90394And what are things at present?
A90394And what brave Royal Heart would refuse to joyn issue with this request?
A90394And who( or what) shall live when God doth this?
A90394And yet what a continual inveterate enmity is there between these?
A90394And yet who is more offended then the wise man?
A90394Are they things that are, or things that are not?
A90394Awake, awake O Sons of men, How long will ye love vanity?
A90394But what is all this?
A90394But where are you now, Sweet Anne?
A90394But where dwells this Skill?
A90394But who can read it?
A90394Do you know the Lord, or his Love?
A90394Does not Truth lie hid under the colour?
A90394Hath not every one set up the Idols of his own heart, the stumbling block of his own iniquity before his eyes?
A90394Have they a real, or an appearing existence?
A90394He that can be content to please himself in escaping Hell, where others must scorch in unutterable torment, is he righteous?
A90394How can any man desire to be Righteous, to be Perfect, if his end must be the same with him who is most imperfect and wicked?
A90394How long will ye love shadows, and please your selves with them, as if they were the Substance?
A90394How long will ye seek after lyes?
A90394I know according to your present measure you do, and so do others according to theirs, but do you know by the true standing measure?
A90394I who am unworthy of the esteem of a Servant, Do you know your self, that you call your self unworthy?
A90394If the Light that is in thee be Darkness, how great is that Darkness?
A90394Is it not time for you, O sons of Men, to look about you?
A90394It is not the knowledg of the true God, at best it is but the knowledg of his likeness,( and alass, how little is there of this kind too?)
A90394Or do we know whence these colours came, or what they are in their root?
A90394Search all sorts of Christians, Where is he that knows the true Christ, the true way to God through Christ?
A90394Search the course of Man throughout the whole World, Where is he who sees, knows, worships the true God?
A90394Search the course of Man( Vain Man, or Religious Man) throughout the Scriptures, how finde ye him there?
A90394Some questioned with me, whether I meant the act of Sin?
A90394The Earth is sinking under thee, Thy Elements melting in thee, Thy whole Life and Being expiring; what wilt thou do?
A90394The light whereby thou seest is darkness; What meanest thou to be so forward& confident in judging either thy self or others?
A90394We see Good and Evil which colour the whole Creation; But do we see that Substance which is coloured with these?
A90394What need any man care, what he thinks or does?
A90394What should the creature do in Heaven?
A90394What would you say to me?
A90394Where is that eye that can see through it into Happiness?
A90394Where is that that remains certain, after this sharp vehement shaking?
A90394Who is so skilful as to understand the Characters either of Life or Death?
A90394Who shall scape Hell, when all the unrighteous in the eye of man, when all the unrighteous in the eye of God, are cast into it?
A90394Why gaddest thou then to change thy way?
A90394You might be drawn forth to judg me wonderful deeply and clearly by your present eye, but can you or any else throughly resolve this?
A90394You see the rottenness of your former foundation, are you sure you now build upon firm ground, upon the inmost Rock?
A90394is it anywhere?
A90394is there any such thing?
A90394when wilt thou cease boasting of thy knowledg, and come indeed to know the Lord?
A90394where dwells this Life, this Spirit, this Power?
A90394where wilt thou shelter thy self?
A90394why art thou so puffed up with thy knowledg?
A54035( And if there be Flesh and Bones in the mystery, is there not also Blood in the mystery?)
A54035And can any that feel him within, deny him to be within, the strength of life, the hope of glory?
A54035And is there not a Mount Sion under the Gospel, which is the substance of that figure?
A54035And they that feel this within, do they not feel Christ within?
A54035But what is the way of Peace, which neither the Prophane, nor any sort of Professors out of the life and power, ever knew or can know?
A54035Can outward Blood cleanse?
A54035Can this possibly be understood of outward Flesh and Bone?
A54035Do ye love God?
A54035Doth he herein do, as he would be done by?
A54035Doth not God promise to sprinkle clean water upon his Israel in the new Covenant, and they shall be clean?
A54035Doth not the live coal from the Altar, purifie and take away the iniquity?
A54035How did God appear to you?
A54035How did God gather you?
A54035If he did not know Christ after the flesh, how did he know him?
A54035Is it not that house, or heart, where the many Enemies are?
A54035Is not the false or Antichristian Church, Flesh of Antichrists Flesh, and Bone of Antichrists Bone?
A54035Is not the true Church, Flesh of Christs Flesh, and Bone of his Bone?
A54035Is this a Christian Spirit: or according to the Law or Prophets, or Christs Doctrine?
A54035Is this common Flesh and Blood?
A54035Isaac Penington( who I suppose is an approved Quaker) asks this question, can outward blood cleanse?
A54035Nay, doth not his Flesh make able to abide the devouring fire, and to dwell with the everlasting burnings?
A54035Now consider seriously, are all these of one and the same nature?
A54035Now, what is this Mountain?
A54035O T. H. dost thou believe the eternal judgment, at the great day; not outwardly only in notion, but inwardly in heart?
A54035O where''s that truth, or that knowledge of the Son, which makes free from him?
A54035O where''s the faith that gives victory over the Enemys?
A54035Oh, this was the joyful sound to our Souls, even the tydings of the arising of that inward life and power which could do this?
A54035Q. BVt some may say, what appearance of the Great God and Saviour did ye want?
A54035Shall ever the Church which is of Christs Flesh, be stripped naked and burnt with fire?
A54035So that, what should we publish any new faith, or any new Doctrines for?
A54035The Query runs thus, Can outward Blood cleanse the Conscience?
A54035Was Abrahams offering his Son so pretious in Gods eye?
A54035What is the Flesh of the spiritual Whore, which is to be stripped naked and burnt with fire?
A54035What is the field?
A54035What is this, which is like a little Seed, a Pearl,& c. And where is it to be found?
A54035What pleasure is it to us to testifie against you?
A54035Where is this to be felt, but within?
A54035Where''s living in the spirit, and walking in the spirit, and in the pure light of the Lord, when he can not come?
A54035Where''s reading of the Scriptures in that which gives to witness them, and which fulfils them in the heart?
A54035Where''s the ability in the faith so to resist him, as to make him fly?
A54035],[ London?
A54035and the God of peace his treading him under the feet of his Saints?
A54035and to pour water on him that is thirsty, and Floods upon the dry grounds?
A54035are your hearts circumcised to love God?
A54035as if these words of mine( can outward Blood cleanse?)
A54035can this be affirmed of common Flesh and Blood?
A54035did ye ever feel it to be outward?
A54035do I now deny or slight the outward?
A54035is it not manifestly intended of Flesh and Bone in the Mystery?
A54035is it not the World, and is not the World set in mans heart?
A54035or are they of a different nature?
A54035the Spirit of one nature,& the Water and Blood of another nature?
A54035was there not a Mount- Sion under the Law, which was figurative?
A54035what is the house, which is to be swept and the Candle lighted in?
A54035what is the outwardly most exact litteral knowledge without this?
A54035ye that are spiritual consider( can outward water wash the Soul clean?)
A54035ye that have ever felt the Blood of sprinkling from the Lord upon your Consciences, and your Consciences cleansed thereby?
A54024And now which way can deceit be so much as suspected here?
A54024And which way shall he ever come to the Kingdome, which has lighted upon the wrong means?
A54024But behold, a thick night of darknesse overspread the beauty of this?
A54024But the seed of the Kingdome is little, and ye are great, how can ye enter into it?
A54024Can not the spirituall eye see things in its kind?
A54024Can ye mildly receive these gentle leadings?
A54024Canst thou pray?
A54024Canst 〈 ◊ 〉 see and judge naturall things in the naturall part?
A54024Christ is descended into the lower parts of the earth, and ye are using means to ascend upwards in the wrong nature, how can ye meet with him?
A54024Consider with your selves, hath that grown in your forms, or hath it been slain there?
A54024Did God leave mans spirit at liberty to invent and form meanings of his words, and bind up his owne spirit from speaking further words afterwards?
A54024Didst thou begin with sighs and groans, staying there, till the same spirit that taught thee to groan, taught thee also to speak?
A54024Does the Scripture say he can doe nothing without the Spirit?
A54024Dost thou ask this question from thy heart, in the simplicity, out of the fleshly wisdome?
A54024He that doth ● ot understand what he is warned against, how is it likely he should be preserved by the warning?
A54024He that knoweth not the mistery of iniquity working under a form of godlines, may not he easily be deceived with the mistery of iniquity?
A54024He that knoweth not what is become of the true Church& ministry, and where to look for them, may not he easily own a fall Church and ministry?
A54024How difficult doe you make the way to life, if not utterly impossible?
A54024If all this be true, who can be saved?
A54024Look about you, look about you, all sorts of devout professors, see where ye are: are you not dead in your forms?
A54024Must be heat?
A54024Must he deny himselfe and all his own righteousnesse, and duties, and hope only for salvation in the merits of Christ?
A54024Must he meditate?
A54024Must he pray?
A54024Must he read?
A54024Now how easie is it for a man to mistake here, and call this the truth?
A54024Now the question is, which of these thy prayer is?
A54024Now to meet with all the plagues here threatned, and to miss of all the blessednesse here promised, is it not a sad state?
A54024Speak the truth in your own hearts, Can ye truly say, from a sercible feeling in the life, that that principle is still alive in you?
A54024Therefore in the fear of that God who hath spoken this, and will make it good, let every one search who is the adder, who is the diminisher?
A54024Wast thou ever able to distinguish the sighs and groans of the Spirits begetting, from the sighs and groans of thy own naturall and affectionate part?
A54024What can it propose to be done, that he will not do?
A54024What can the Scripture propose to be believed, that he will not believe?
A54024What is fed by mens Scripture knowledge, but the earthly understanding?
A54024What is that?
A54024What then is that faith which is the gift of God, and which is distinct from this?
A54024What this little thing, small like a grain of mustard- seed, can this be the glorious Christ, which the Scriptures have spoke so much of?
A54024What would not a man doe, to avoid perpetuall extremity of misery on soul and body for ever, and to obtain a crowne of everlasting blessednesse?
A54024When Moses said, thou shalt not adde nor diminish, was this to be any stop to the Prophets, in whom God should speake afterwards?
A54024how camest thou to learn to pray?
A54024is not the good old puritan principle( wherein once was true life in its measure) dead and buried there?
A54024or didst thou gain the skill and abillity, by the exercise and improvement of thine, own naturall part?
A54024shall I speake a little of the wares of Babilon?
A54024the pearl lies hid in the field, and ye are gazing up to Heaven how can ye see it?
A54024to what end hath God given it?
A54024wast thou taught from above?
A54024where is there an ear which can hear me?
A54024whether it be thine own breath, or Gods breath?
A54024whether it come from the renewings of the Spirit of life, or from thine own naturall part painted?
A540451) Behold Heaven, and the Heaven of Heavens can not contain thee, how much less this House which I have built?
A54045Again, Thus saith the high and lofty one that inhabiteth Eternity( what is Eternity?)
A54045And can not God be in Heaven and in Earth too, and also by his Spirit in the hearts of his people?
A54045And in the Resurrection of the just and the unjust, shall not both the just and unjust see him who is the Judge?
A54045And who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
A54045Are the rest of the Members equal with the Head?
A54045Can not he judge, who hath the Anointing?
A54045Did Christ come of the Jews according to the Flesh, and did he not come of Abraham according to the Flesh?
A54045Did not he give them power so to do?
A54045Did the Law of God, which was against Sin and the Devil, come from the Devil?
A54045Did they not cast out Devils and do miracles, while he was on Earth?
A54045Do the Quakers think to find Eternal Life in the Scriptures?
A54045Doth Reason teach a man to mannage his body destructively and unreasonably, as the corrupt and unreasonable law of sin and death teacheth many men?
A54045Doth not he call this tree the Serpent?
A54045Doth not he that is a Child of God receive his Spirit?
A54045Further p. 48. he saith,[ Who do you blind Quakers think should be judge of a Prophet that hath a Commission from God?]
A54045Had Moses his Commission from the Serpent?
A54045Hath the Head no preheminence in the Body?
A54045He that knoweth the Nature and Spirit of God, knoweth God, though he be not able to measure or discern the utmost extent of his Beeing, which who can?
A54045How could the Israelites understand what God was by this?
A54045How often hath he affirmed his Judgment to be infallible and such as God himself could not reverse?
A54045How taught?
A54045I remember my grievous and bitter mournings to the Lord; how often did I say, O Lord, why hast thou forsaken me?
A54045If the God- head Life suffered death, what power was left to raise it up again?
A54045In this condition I wandered up and down from mountain to hill, from one sort to another, with a cry in my spirit, Can ye tell news of my Beloved?
A54045Is God changable?
A54045Is he God?
A54045Is he one thing to day, and another thing tomorrow?
A54045Is it such a strange thing that God should be in Heaven and in Earth also?
A54045Is not the Earth his Footstool?
A54045Is not the Enmity as expessly placed by God between the Serpent and the Woman, as between their Seeds?
A54045Is not the Law holy, just and good?
A54045Is this the defence about the glory of the new Jerusalem?
A54045They spake and wrot as they were moved by the holy Spirit, and is not that a sufficient Commission?
A54045Was not Christ in Heaven while he was hear on Earth, according to his own words?
A54045Was not the Devil defiled, a corrupt tree, an Angel fallen from his habitation, before he tempted Eve and Adam to sin and fall?
A54045Was that which tempted Adam, the tree out of which Moses his Commission came?
A54045Was this holy Root they were broken from a wild Olive- tree?
A54045Well then, how came this about?
A54045What interpretation of Scripture is here?
A54045What is he able to cast into Hell?
A54045What is to be desired more then the new Covenant?
A54045What kind of doctrine is this, that the very God- head Life suffered death, and so to make the Creator mortal like the Creature?
A54045What saith the Apostle?
A54045What was the Olive- tree the Jews were broken off from?
A54045Where was this ever affirmed by them?
A54045Whether shall I go from thy Spirit?
A54045Yet again p. 48. he saith,[ Is not a true Prophet the Law- giver?
A54045],[ London?
A54045and are not the feet present in the place on which they tread?
A54045and can he never be any more what he was yesterday?
A54045and did it come from an unholy root?
A54045and he that waits, and fears, and goes on no further then his Captain goes before him, doth he not proceed safely?
A54045and is not the Spirit of God able to judge in them that receive it?
A54045and ought not every one to submit unto his Law?]
A54045did they ever teach men so?
A54045have they not very often faithfully testified otherwise?
A54045is he Christ?
A54045is he the only one?
A54045is not this an absolute contradiction?
A54045is there not another God another Judge?
A54045is this the Wall and Bulwark?
A54045or an holy Commission out of the Devil?
A54045or whether shall I flee from thy Presence?
A54045what do they feed in you?
A54045what is it in you that relisheth them?
A54045what satisfaction could they find in this answer of Moses, would this spirit say?
A54045where doth he appear?
A54045where doth he dwell?
A54045why hast thou broken me to pieces?
A5404420. be not morall and perpetuall, as well as the other nine be, yea or no?
A5404420. then what law did he mean?
A540444.24?
A54044Again, was the law, which Moses administred to the Jews, a law of Liberty, or a law of bondage?
A54044And he that is in the Spirit, and hath received the Law of Life from the Spirit, knovveth not Christ after the flesh, hovv much less Moses?
A54044But may any of these Laws be broken?
A54044But was there any thing of the ten words a shadow?
A54044But what is the substance of the law which abides?
A54044Did ye receive the Spirit?
A54044Do they not all command abiding things?
A54044How not according to that?
A54044How not faultless?
A54044How was it within them?
A54044I say, what was wanting of all this on Gods part?
A54044If God write them in the new Covenant, and in the new Tables, shal not I read them there?
A54044If God write these things in the heart, are they not to be read there?
A54044Is his law now to be read in the shadow, or with the outward eye, or to be looked for under the old mercy- seat of the outward tabernacle?
A54044Is not the Spiritual City, House, or Temple which God builds, the Ierusalem or Temple of the new Covenant?
A54044Is not the Spiritual Glory, the Glory?
A54044Is not this the choice House to God?
A54044Now consider seriously, whither should a believer go for this laws?
A54044Now when was the time when Paul was alive without the Law?
A54044Shall he give me an eye to read, and shall I not read therewith?
A54044So was not their circumcision a shadow of the circumcision which is to pass upon the Hearts of God''s chosen?
A54044The Pharisees demanded of him when the Kingdom of God should come?
A54044Their City Jerusalem a Tipe of the Jehovah- shammah?
A54044Their Priests and Levites Tipes of the Spiritual Priesthood, which was to offer the pure offering and Spiritual Sacrifices among the Gentiles?
A54044Was it not when he was righteous, when he was whole?
A54044Was not their Canaan, or Holy- land, a type of the true Holy Spiritual rest which the faith gives entrance into?
A54044Was the law as it was administred by Moses, the Royall Law?
A54044Were not their Sacrifices types or representations of the Sacrifices of praise and of a broken Heart?
A54044Were ye children of the New Covenant?
A54044What could he have done more for his Vineyard, than he did do?
A54044What doth this Covenant contain?
A54044What is the Royall Law?
A54044What should I mention any more?
A54044What should I say more?
A54044When that is come, which it signified, is not its work at an end?)
A54044When the day of Messiah dawns, shall not Moses his shadows fly away?
A54044Why did ye not keep to your rule?
A54044Why did ye not wait on the Spirit, and receive the Law from the New Jerusalem, from whence it issues forth to the family of believers?
A54044Will God write in my heart, and will he not give me an eye to read?
A54044and not one jot or tittle of it to pass so long as heaven and earth remain?
A54044can there any just blame be found in any thing that proceeded from the Lord?
A54044had ye a measure of faith given you?
A54044or is it the Royall Law as it is administred by the Son, who is the King of Saints, and writes his law in their hearts as their King?
A54044that they might not flie on the Sabbath, knowing that their flight would fall out more then thirty yeares after his death?
A54044the Land of Life and Righteousness, the true Land of rest to the living by Faith?
A54044the circumcision of the Heart, the choice circumcision?
A54044the inward Jew, the Jew indeed?
A54044the offering up of praise and of a broken Heart, the acceptable Sacrifice?
A54044the other sacrificing for sin?
A54044to which Covenant?
A54044was there any sin in the Holy Law& Ministration of God by Moses?
A54044were ye new creatures?
A54044what is the Law of Liberty?
A54044what was wanting of Love, of Care, of Goodness, of Kindness, of Mercy, of Gentleness, of any thing that a People could desire of their God?
A54066And can the spiritual Jews, sing the spiritual Songs of spiritual Sion, in mysterie Babylon?
A54066And do ye bear no burthen, kindle no fire, do no work on that his Day?
A54066And do ye worship the Lord there on his own Day, which he hath spiritually made?
A54066And what is the Church of the New Covenant?
A54066And what is the Heavenly birth''s light?
A54066And whether he can be safe in these respects, who either doth not understand or not observe the warnings given by the Spirit of the Lord therein?
A54066Are all the walls of partition broken down, and is there nothing now between you, but of two are ye made one in that which uniteth?
A54066Are ye not under the Law, but under Grace?
A54066Did the true Church ever sit upon many Waters?
A54066Do ye come up to the New- Jerusalem to offer your sacrifices there according to the institution of the Gospel?
A54066Do ye indeed feed thereon?
A54066Do ye know the Mountain of the Lord''s House, and the Lord''s House built and established by his own Holy Spirit and Power upon his own Holy Mountain?
A54066Do ye know the Paradice of God, and the Tree of Life there?
A54066Do ye live in the Spirit?
A54066Do ye never warm your selves at any fire, or by any sparks of your own kindling?
A54066Do ye walk in the Light of the Lord( as the Spiritual House of Jacob is to do?)
A54066Have ye drunk of the Water of the Rock?
A54066Have ye fed on the Manna dropt down from Heaven upon your Spirits therein?
A54066Have ye gone through the exercises and tryals of the Wilderness?
A54066Have ye known it an Hammer, a Fire, an Axe laid to the Root of the corrupt Tree?
A54066Have ye known the great and terrible day of the Lord, wherein he ariseth to shake terribly the Earth?
A54066Have ye really felt these things, or have ye been in the Dreams and Imaginings about them?
A54066Have ye received the Spirit?
A54066Have ye seen the Serpent lifted up, and felt the healing thereby?
A54066Have ye witnessed the Pillar of Cloud by Day, and the Pillar of Fire by Night to be your Defence and Leader?
A54066Have ye witnessed the effects of the great and terrible day of the Lord in your Spirits?
A54066Have you passed through the Flaming Sword to the Tree of Life?
A54066He then that readeth not, that hath not an ear to hear the words of this Prophesie, how can he keep what is written therein?
A54066How are these Stones joyned together?
A54066Is Antichrist destroyed, the Whore burnt, Flesh consumed, Man ceased from, both within and without?
A54066Is every high Tower battered down, and every fenced Wall laid flat?
A54066Is it not in nature and kind above the light of the first Adam?
A54066Is it not the earthly mind, the fallen mind?
A54066Is it not the light of the second Adam?
A54066Is it not the seed of God, the Jews inward, the Children of the New Covenant?
A54066Is not the birth of, and from the second Adam?
A54066Not under the Enemy''s power, but under the Spirit''s power, out of the other''s reach, so that the wicked one can not touch you?
A54066Root, Branches, Leaves and Fruit so cut down by it, as to cumber the ground no more?
A54066The word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two- edged Sword, and what doth it do?
A54066Upon what is this Church built?
A54066VVhat was Paul?
A54066Was it not the seed of Abraham, the outward Jews, the Children of the Old Covenant?
A54066Was not the Church a gathering out of the Nations, into the Power and Life which the Nations persecuted?
A54066Was the Church alwaies to be a gathered Company?
A54066Were not they carnal that cryed up these one above another?
A54066What is Apollos?
A54066What is Cephas?
A54066What is Paul?
A54066What is the Church of God under the new Agreement or Covenant?
A54066What is the birth?
A54066What was Peter?
A54066What was the Church of the Old Covenant?
A54066Where is the seat of reasonings?
A54066Whether it was not the great Love and Mercy of God, to warn the Churches of these things in the Book of the Revelations?
A54066Whether the true Church did retain her Ministry outwardly, and her outward Ordinances, and way of worship of the outward Court after her scattering?
A54066Why so?
A54066Yea is the Lord alone exalted in your Spirits, and all other Dominion, Authority, Rule and Lordship put under?
A54066and do ye know the corrupt Tree?
A54066and do ye worship the Lord alone therein?
A54066are ye truly united, so as to become one Spirit with the Lord?
A54066or was there a possibility of their being scattered?
A54066or whether the false Church, which appeared in her room as if she had been the true, caught up and appeared in the outwardness of these?
A54064( And where do they plant and set them?)
A54064( over the worldly nature and spirit within; over the worldly nature and spirit without also) can any other Faith give victory?
A54064And art thou daily taught and fed by him there?
A54064And do the Isles wait for it in vain?
A54064And do they not then, plant pleasant Plants, and set strange Slips?
A54064And dost thou know what the VVomb is, wherein the living Child is formed?
A54064And doth not that give them to do also, and strengthen them with might in the inner man?
A54064And hast thou been new- created and formed a Living Stone by him?
A54064And is it not good that it should befal them?
A54064And may not God in his just Judgment and sore Displeasure against them, leave them to themselves, and give them up so to do?
A54064But what will the Harvest be in the Day of Inheritance, when they come to reap and inherit what they have planted and sown?
A54064Can any but the Plants of God, the Plants of Righteousness, bring forth the fruits of Righteousness?
A54064Christ faith, Blessed are the Pure in Heart; Do, or can any witness Purity of Heart before this washing?
A54064DOst thou indeed know the new Covenant?
A54064Do they not first forget the God of their Salvation, and become unmindful of the Rock of their Strength?
A54064Dost thou abide with God therein?
A54064Doth not that make them a willing People in the day of his Power?
A54064Doth not the Holy One in the midst of the Spiritual Israel do this?
A54064Doth not this Faith give Victory over the world?
A54064Hast thou been abundantly satisfied with the fatness of God''s house, and hath he given thee to drink of the River of his Pleasure?
A54064Hast thou been called and led to them?
A54064Hast thou eat and drunk the Bread, Wine and Milk which those waters yield?
A54064Hast thou experienced the true Hunger and Thirst after the Living Waters?
A54064Hast thou inwardly felt the spiritual, powerful Gathering, by the mighty Arm and Power of the Lord, out of the sinful nature and state, into it?
A54064Hast thou known his Appearance inwardly, as of a Living Stone?
A54064Hath the Lord opened an Ear in thee to hear as the learned?
A54064How come the Children of God, who are begotten of him, to obey his Commandments?
A54064How come they to love?
A54064How doth God cause the Children of the New Covenant to walk in his Statutes and keep his Judgments and do them?
A54064How doth he dispossess him?
A54064How doth he spoil his Goods and then garnish the House a new?
A54064How may they be overcome?
A54064In what Light do men build up a wall inwardly, and daub it with untempered Morter, to secure themselves from the wrath to come?
A54064Is it a Fear taught by the Precepts of men, or a Fear springing from the Root of Life within?
A54064Is it not by putting his spirit into them, and by the holy Virtue, Power and Operation thereof in them?
A54064Is it not in the light of the fire and sparks of their own kindling?
A54064Is it not of an heavenly, spiritual nature?
A54064Is it not the Law of the spirit ● ife in Christ Jesus?
A54064Is it not the Law which the Isles wait for?
A54064Is it not the Word of Life within, which flames against Evil, and hammers down Evil?
A54064May not men after they have kindled a fire and sparks; walk in the Light thereof?
A54064Must not the Tree be good, before the Fruit can be good?
A54064Must not the heart be changed, be made holy and righteous, before it can bring forth that which is holy and righteous?
A54064O what a new Creation and Change within is witnessed, when this is done?
A54064These are very weighty things, can any man be safe or happy without experiencing them?
A54064VVhat are the Enemies of a Man''s House?
A54064VVhat is the Answer of a Good Conscience towards God, when the soul is inwardly baptized and made clean?
A54064VVhat is the Fear God puts into the hearts of the Children of the New Covenant?

A54022119. of Gods Word, Gods Law, his Testimonies, Precepts, Statutes, Judgements,& c. what doth he speak of?
A540222dly, Consider, Whether the Testimonies of the Prophets concerning Christ were surer, then this immediate Voice from God himself?
A540224thly, Consider, Whether Christs own Words, in the Flesh, to his Disciples, were surer then this Voice from the excellent Glory?
A54022And any of the Gentiles, as this Word or Spirit of Life did work in them, did it not circumcise inwardly and save them also?
A54022And doth not he Harden as he pleaseth?
A54022And how could it be otherwise?
A54022And how doth God give true Wisdom and Understanding?
A54022And what are those right Statutes, which rejoyce the heart?
A54022And what is it that hath striven with wicked men since, and that doth strive with wicked men still?
A54022And what testimony is that, which makes wise the simple?
A54022And what wickedness is so great, which the hardened man will not plead for, and be defending and justifying himself in?
A54022And when he said, Thy Word is a Lamp unto my Feet, and a Light unto my Path: What Word did he mean?
A54022And yet, is not this immediate testimony from the excellent Glory, greater then the testimony of John?
A54022Are not these all things known within, and received within?
A54022Can they find out the mystery of life, the Mystery of Gods Kingdom in this Age, any more then they could in former Ages?)
A54022Can ye think that David did not know the Word and Commandment of Life within?
A54022Consider 4thly, Whether any thing can convince of sin, but the Light of God''s holy Spirit shining in the heart?
A54022Could any be saved, but thereby?
A54022Did he mean the Letter or Law outward?
A54022Did not God give up the Jews to hardness, after much striving with them?
A54022Did not God write his Law in his heart?
A54022Did not God''s Spirit strive with the old World?
A54022Did not he witness the everlasting Covenant and the Law thereof, the new Law, the living Law, even the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus?
A54022Did not the Spirit then work inwardly, redeem inwardly, save inwardly?
A54022Did not the Word or Commandments nigh in the mouth and heart( to which Moses by Gods direction had turned their minds) enlighten and save inwardly?
A54022Did the Shadows then save, or the Substance of Life vailed under them?
A54022Doth he mean the Letter without, or the Word within?
A54022Doth he not speak of the inward writing?
A54022Doth he speak of the outward, or inward ministration of the word in the heart?
A54022Doth not God put his fear within, in the heart?
A54022Doth not God reveal his righteous Judgements within, against sin and iniquity?
A54022First, who they are that have testified and testifie of this Light?
A54022HOw doth the Mind come to be Enlighted, and the Candle of the Lord come to be set iup in the Soul?
A54022HOw is the Light or Candle of the Lord diminished, and at length extinguished or put out in some?
A54022Have not the Vessels of Wrath, who are fitted to destruction, a day of much long- suffering first?
A54022He knoweth what and how great inward and spiritual Enemies Man- kind hath: doth he never make any discoveries of their Enemies to them?
A54022He who is Light loveth Mankind: doth he never visit them with his love?
A54022How can there be an inward Jew, an inward Circumcision, without an inward Law, inward Light, an inward Testimony?
A54022How else could he walk thus in the Wayes of the Lord, as he expresseth, and keep himself from his iniquity?
A54022How hath the witness of God been reached to in mens spirits?
A54022How is Christ the Light of the World, or how was Christ the Light of the World?
A54022How it cometh to be diminished or exstinguished in any?
A54022How it cometh to be lighted, set up and and increased there?
A54022I was also upright before him: and I kept my self from mine iniquity: What was that?
A54022Is he not so in his inward and spiritual appearance?
A54022Is he not the Universal Light, the Son of Righteousness, which enlighteneth the whole dark World?
A54022Is it any less then the Water of Life, then the Blood of the everlasting Covenant, then the Word and Life of Truth within?
A54022Is it not Flesh?
A54022Is it not a surer Word of Prophesie, then this Relation or Testimony of the Apostles, of what they heard from the excellent Glory?
A54022Is it not by the shining of his Light in the heart?
A54022Is it not the inward testimony?
A54022Is it not the same Light, only further revealed and shining in it''s glory, in the holy and pure place?
A54022Is it not the same good Spirit?
A54022Now God, who is Light, being so neer every man: doth he never shine upon them?
A54022Now consider; If God be as tender of souls, as of the bodies of men; doth he not make provision for the soul, as well as for the body?
A54022Now when David said, The Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: What Law did he mean?
A54022Now, it being thus, hath not God Mercy on whom he will?
A54022That they had transgressed the Law, changed the Ordinance, broken the everlasting Covenant?
A54022There was a time before the Law( for the Law was given by Moses) what saved then?
A54022They also do no iniquity,& c. Had he no experience of these things himself?
A54022They are Darkness: but doth he never appear in the darkness?
A54022To what end did God forbear them, and cause his Spirit to strive with them?
A54022WHat doth this Light do inwardly in the Hearts of those that receive it, believe in it and give up to it?
A54022WHat is this Light which we so earnestly testifie of, and whereof we affirm, that all men are( or have been) in some measure enlightened by it?
A54022Was he only so, as he appeared in that body of flesh?
A54022Was it any thing but the saving Grace, the saving Light, the saving Spirit, the holy Anointing?
A54022Was it not in that he was chosen to be the immediate Fore- runner and Preparer of the Way, and could point with his finger to the Messiah?
A54022Was not David strong in the Lord and in the Power of his might?
A54022Was not that it which had most power over him, and was most apt to entangle and ensnare him?
A54022What doth Christ Fan with?
A54022What doth he fan, and with what?
A54022What is it also that inwardly resists and lusts against the Will and strivings of God''s Spirit?
A54022What is it, that cleanseth the heart?
A54022What is the Law, which converts the soul to God?
A54022What it doth inw ● rdly in the heart?
A54022What made him wiser then the Ancients, and then his Teachers, who knew and could teach the Law outward?
A54022What saved under the Law?
A54022What shall I say?
A54022What should I multiply Scriptures for?
A54022What this Light is, which we Testifie of, and what is the nature of it?
A54022What words can be spoken more plain and full?
A54022When, again, he saith, Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?
A54022Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
A54022Why was John greater then the rest of the Prophets?
A54022Would he not have the soul live, and would he not have the soul fed, as well as the body?
A54022Would not God have had him believed and offered in the Faith, and been accepted as his brother was?
A54022Would not God have had him come to a true sense and repentance?
A54022],[ London?
A54022and how have the pillars of the old building been shaken?
A54022and the clean fear, and the righteous Judgments?
A54022and the pure Commandment, which enlightens the eyes?
A54022and what is the nature of it?
A54022did not he overcome the wicked one by the Power thereof?
A54022did not the Word of God abide in him?
A54022how could that be done?
A54022how else could he become a man after Gods own heart?
A54022not only with the Sons of God, who had corrupted themselves, but with the rest also?
A54022of the Commandment in the heart?
A54022of the Law in the heart?
A54022of the testimony of Life there?
A54022or how cometh that about?
A54022or the Word nigh in the mouth and heart, which Moses had testified of and directed the Jews to, and he himself had been very well acquainted with?
A54022or whither shall I flee from thy Presence?
A54022that cleanseth the way?
A54022where is the Disputer of this World?
A54022where is the Scribe?
A54041& c. many of the Jews said, he hath a Devil, and is mad, why hear ye him?
A5404123.33, Ye Serpents, ye Generation of Vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of Hell?
A5404131. and made no question but they did well in doing of it, as appears by their answer to his demand; for which of his good works they stoned him?
A5404161. and who is there among professors, that can now bear it, or receive Christs own interpretation of it?
A54041Abraham is dead, and the Prophets are dead, who makest thou thy self?
A54041And among whom is his appearing to be expected?
A54041And being not born of the wisdome, how could they justifie the wisdome?
A54041And his Sisters are they not all with us?
A54041And is this nothing to you, O ye Professors of this age?
A54041And now let me put one Question to you; Where is the deceit of the ages after Christ to be expected?
A54041And then for their teachers and expounders of the law, how exceeding bitter did be seem against them?
A54041And why not the love of God?
A54041And would not they suffer men to enter?
A54041Are ye also deceived?
A54041At other times, he answered not directly, but in Parables( and how offensive is this to mans wisdome, who requires a positive and direct answer?)
A54041But have we been unsetled, since God hath fastned us on the living Foundation?
A54041But to what purpose should I heap up any more instances?
A54041But what shall I say to this generation?
A54041But why should we wonder at these things?
A54041By what authority dost thou these things?
A54041Can I see the light of the Sun, Moon, or Stars,( or of any fire or candle) if I have not a natural eye, and if that natural eye be not open?
A54041Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
A54041Can these two stand together?
A54041Can this man be a true Prophet?
A54041Did not their whole religion and worship much depend upon it?
A54041Did not they teach the Law, and direct men to the Ordinances of God, and open the Prophets words to them?
A54041Did not this( think ye) seem to them a very harsh charge?
A54041Did the Jews deny Moses and the Prophets Writings, or Ordinances?
A54041Doth not God chuse that which is weak, and mean, and contemptible, that his glory might the more appear?
A54041Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees beleeved on him?
A54041He speaketh indeed boldly, and deep things,& c. as if he were the Christ; but how can he be he, seeing it is known from whence he comes?
A54041His answer was, that he spake openly in the World, not in secret, why askest thou me?
A54041How came they thus to err in vision, and stumble in judgment in so weighty a matter?
A54041How could they bear this?
A54041How could they observe what they taught without hearing them?
A54041How could this possibly but be a great offence to them in that Spirit, and Litteral Wisdome from the Scriptures, wherein they stood?
A54041How harsh and rough a reply might this seem?
A54041How offensive must this Doctrine needs have been to them, going carnally to understand and reason about it?
A54041How would such an answer pass now in these dayes, though the same life should speak it?
A54041If the God of the World hath blinded that eye in you, what are all your treasures of wisdome and knowledg?
A54041Is it likely that this is the Son of God, and that he did so many miracles by the power of God, and can not now save himself from the cross?
A54041Is it not enough?
A54041Is not his Mother called Mary?
A54041Is not this a more likely way for him to steal upon the World, then if he appeared in the wise and learned ones?
A54041Is not this the Carpenters Son?
A54041Now how did they shut up the Kingdome of Heaven against men?
A54041Now what is the reason of this?
A54041Now which way could they understand this thing?
A54041O several sorts of professors why will ye dye with the uncircumcised?
A54041Or is it not rather to be expected, that under their crying up of these, they should hide their enmity against the life?
A54041Read and consider, what more strict Ordinance of God under the Law, than the Sabbath?
A54041Search and see who have been the persecuters among you, but they who have had the name of the Church and her Prophets?
A54041Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
A54041Shew unto us the cause, that we may see whether the same cause be not in us?
A54041So can it be expected now, that the Deceivers of this age should deny the Apostles writings, or the practises therein mentioned?
A54041The Jews fell by unbeleif; unbeleif of what?
A54041Therefore see where ye are; Is the inward eye open in you?
A54041To what purpose should I mention any more particulars?
A54041Were not Abraham and the Prophets holy men?
A54041What Persons are fittest for God to make use of, towards the recovery of his People out of the Apostacy?
A54041What Prophet can I except?
A54041What are all your hopes?
A54041What became of our Fore- fathers in former ages?
A54041What come from God, and be a breaker of his Ordinances?
A54041What one Ordinance more conducing to the honour and worship of God?
A54041What should I spend time in particular instances?
A54041What sign shewest thou, that we may see and beleeve thee?
A54041What was the reason?
A54041What were all the Prophets and holy men before thee, thieves and robbers?
A54041Who hath slain the Witnesses?
A54041Who is the son of man?
A54041With this Argument they pinched the Disciples, as is signified in that Query of theirs to Christ, Why then say the Scribes that Elias must first come?
A54041Would not mens wisdome in this age, even hiss at such a thing?
A54041Ye make it such a strange thing, that if Christ had been a Prophet, ye should not own him: why which of the Prophets was owned?
A54041Yea, saith Stephen, which of the Prophets have not your fathers persecuted?
A54041and Mat 21.15, 16. what a ridiculous, and vainglorious peice of pageantry would this seem to the fleshly wise eye?
A54041and consider which way the Jews( in the state they stood) could understand such an answer as this, to rest sastified therewith?
A54041and did not they keep the sayings of God?
A54041and his Brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
A54041and how heavy things was he continually laying to their charge?
A54041and were not these their cover, under which they persecuted Christ, and vented all their malice against him?
A54041and what will become of you?
A54041and would Christ wish any to hear such men as these?
A54041ask them that heard me; whereupon one of the Officers struck him, saying; Answerest thou the high Priest so?
A54041because they did not follow him, and his new Doctrine?
A54041being not born of the light, how could they know or own Christ, whose coming and appearance was in the light?
A54041by what Faith?
A54041did none of them find the door?
A54041did not Abraham, Isaac, David, Moses,& the rest of the Prophets all commit sin, and were they servants of sin?
A54041did the truth never come, till thou broughtst it?
A54041do ye know the light within?
A54041had not they the sayings of God?
A54041how easily might they closeup the controversie, and by this very thing conclude him to be a false Prophet?
A54041nay were they not very zealous for these?
A54041or hath the enemy, by some of his artifices, drawn a vail over that eye, wherewith ye once saw in some measure?
A54041was such a man as this fit to live?
A54041was this shutting up the Kindome of heaven?
A54041were they none of them Gods Sheep?
A54041what good can ye expect from him?
A54041what sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou dost these things?
A54041who can forgive sins, but God alone?
A54041whom of them can he deceive?
A54041why will ye go down into the pit, among them that know not the Lord?
A54041would not the wise professors of this age even hoot at it?
A40330( if they be, prove it by Scripture) Or are they not come up since the Apostacy?

A40330And how hath he opened a door of hope unto you,& given you a measure of faith( sometimes) concerning your Eternal Salvation?
A40330And how have you felt his Tender Love sometimes opening your understandings, and drawing you into that which is good?
A40330And how is Judgement turned backward?
A40330And how oft hath he begotten loathings in you against those things that you saw( with his Light) to be evil?
A40330And how oft hath he kindled a zeal in many of you against the works of the Devil?
A40330And how soon did some of them turn for a Parliament again, when the Army turned out Richard?
A40330And if he will do it without outward means ▪ can any resist his Will?
A40330And is not the Lord the same?
A40330And was not that Head and Lord Jesus Christ?
A40330And what Idolatry is there, that many of them would not run into for their Bellies sake?
A40330And when is the time, and where is the place, and what is the name of it( if not in this Life) that men shall be made free from sin?
A40330And where was any of the true Apostles or Ministers of Christ, called Lord- Bishops or Arch- Bishops?
A40330And why do you call those that name the Children, God- Fathers, and God- Mothers?
A40330And will it not provide for its own Life and Liberty?
A40330Are they not yet striving to kindle a Flame within thy Bowels?
A40330But although these things, touching the holy Remnant, shall certainly be fulfilled in their Season?
A40330But how few of them have so regarded the Out- goings of the Lord in all these things, as they ought to have done?

A40330Consider, Was it a Carnal Weapon that brought you in?
A40330Did not these things arise since the Apostacy?
