A10652	Am I resolv''d in all estates to relie on Gods mercy, and providence, though He should kill me to trust in him?
A10652	Am I willing to submit, and resigne my selfe unto the obedience of it?
A10652	And is Gods covenant made more firme by an oath than by a promise?
A10652	And what madnesse is it then by those reasons to undervalue faith, which are the arguments to confirme it?
A10652	Are not the Iliads of Homer more admirable in a Nutshell than in a volume?
A10652	BUt why are not the instruments more glorious where the effects are so admirable?
A10652	But doe I suffer it like Ioshua to destroy every Cananite, even the sinne which for sweetnes I roled under my tongue?
A10652	But if Christ have thus taken away the malignity of all temporall punishments, why are they not quite removed?
A10652	But that ground which drinketh in the raine which commeth of upon it( and what raine comparable to a showre of Christs bloud in the Sacrament?)

A10652	Say not like sullen d Naaman, Is not the Wine in the Vintners Sellar, or the Bread of mine owne Table as good, as nourishing as is any in the Temple?
A10652	The bread b is the body of Christ, and the Church c is the body of Christ too?
A10652	The truth of God is as his nature without d variablenesse or shadow of changing, and can it then bee made more immutable?
A10652	Though God be most immutable, may he not yet alter his promise?
A10652	Vnum signum habemus, quare non in uno ovili sumus?
A10652	Was his body broken to let out his blood, and shall not our soules be broken to let it in?
A10652	Was the Head wounded, and shall the Ulcers and Impostumes remaine unlanced?
A10652	What is the reason that the bread and the Church should be both called in the Scripture by the same name?
A10652	What though it be red as Skarlet, is not his blood of a deeper colour?
A10652	What though the Darts of Satan continually wound us, is not the issue of his wounds the balme for ours?

A10652	Whence did David c call on God, but out of the pit and the deepe waters, when his bones d were broken& could not rejoyce?
A10652	Why should not the Covenant of grace bee as mutable as was that of gwords?

A10652	am I sensible of the sweetnes and benefits of his holy Word, doth it refresh my soule, and revive me unto every good worke?
A10652	and Christ did feare k, how then is it that Christs Passion was most voluntary though attended with necessitie, feare, and reluctance?
A10652	and doe I set up a resolution thus alwayes to submit my selfe unto the Regiment thereof?
A10652	and this not onely with an outward battology, and lipp- labour but by the spirit to cry Abba Father?
A10652	and to judge of the things conveighed by the value, and quality of the instrument that conveighs it?

A10652	doe I finde a spirituall taste and relish in the food of life?
A10652	doe I finde my selfe able with affiance, and firme hope to fly unto God, as unto an Alter of refuge in time of trouble, and to call upon his Name?
A10652	doe I not against the cleere, and convincing evidence thereof, entertaine in my bosome any the least rebellious thought?
A10652	doe I take it along with me wheresoever I goe, to preserve me from stumbling, and straggling in this valley of darknes, and shaddow of death?

A57143	So Ioshua did when Israel turned their backs before their enemies, what wilt thou do unto thy great Name?
A57143	So long as our lives are as bad as before, how can wee expect that our condition should bee better?
A57143	So we must conceive in our confessions and abrenuntiations of sin, that Christ asketh us, Are here all?
A57143	Spondes?
A57143	Such is the condition of a soule under wrath, that hath no apprehensions of God but in frost or fire; for who can stand before his cold?

A57143	Thirdly, It is abundant and innumerable; who can number the drops of dew on the ground, or the haires of little raine?
A57143	This Act of discovery can not but exceedingly gaul the spirits of wicked men; it is like the voice of God unto Adam in Paradise, Adam, where art thou?

A57143	and found pleasure in the Holy severity of Gods Book and the ministery thereof against it?
A57143	and how few are such kinde of men in comparison of the vulgar sort?
A57143	and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand t ● ne?
A57143	and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the Heathen?
A57143	and that no man can know love or hatred by that which is before him?
A57143	and the next question is, What shall I doe?
A57143	and therefore love they have none; for how can that love any thing which knowes nothing?
A57143	and who am I, and what is my people saith David, that wee should bee able to offer so willingly?
A57143	and yet who more tender and fearfull of sin?
A57143	are these Agags spared and kept delicately, and canst thou please thy selfe in the thoughts of a sound repentance?
A57143	as if there were y agreements, and sealed covenants between thee and the sword that it should not touch thee?
A57143	as, Who shall deliver me from this body of death?
A57143	aut ubi male esse poterit cum illo?

A57143	but how few think on the light of Gods countenance?
A57143	but now we will not say so any more, for how can a man be the maker of his Maker?
A57143	do not carnall policies prevaile still against the expresse will of God?
A57143	doth not make anxious or cavilling questions, What shall I doe for the hundred talents?
A57143	how shall I keep my friends?
A57143	how shall I preserve mine Interests, or support mine estate?
A57143	if hee harden whom he will, why doth he complaine of our hardnesse, which it is impossible for us to prevent, because none can resist his will?

A10650	5.17, 18. Who goeth a warfare at any time of his owne charges?
A10650	Againe, how easily would Temptations over- turne the faith of men, if it were not daily supported by the Word?
A10650	Am I a serious and earnest enemie to my originall lusts, and closest corruptions?
A10650	Am I cleansed from my filthinesse, carefull to keepe my selfe chaste, comely, beautifull, a fit spouse for the fairest of ten thousand?
A10650	Am I not God, and not man?
A10650	Am I not neerer to my soule, than I am to my carkasse, or to my seed?
A10650	And alas, how many men preach the Gospell, and yet can scarce finde the first and meanest of all these supplies?
A10650	And am I not neerer to my selfe, than I am to my money?
A10650	And how many are there every- where to be found whose love unto themselves hath devoured all brotherly love?
A10650	And how should men labour to be secured in that right?
A10650	And now alas, what were we that God should bring us hitherto?
A10650	And shall the potsheard strive with the potter, and provoke him that made it?
A10650	And so also in afflictions; Hath the Lord forgotten to bee gratious and shut up his loving kindnesse in displeasure?
A10650	And therefore the Apostle useth this expostulation against Idolaters, Doe we provoke the Lord to jelousie?
A10650	And what can the reasonings of the flesh contribute to that which was all wisedome before?
A10650	And what is it To live?
A10650	And where is the fury of the oppressor?
A10650	And why should not I apply my power, to serve him, who did reach forth his owne power to convert me?
A10650	And, what hath my beloved to doe in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdnesse with many?
A10650	Are we stronger than he?
A10650	Are yee able to drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, or be baptized with that Baptisme that I am baptized with?
A10650	Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, is there any thing too hard for mee?
A10650	But are not the faithfull subject to evils, corruptions, and temptations still?
A10650	But can thine heart endure, or thine hands bee strong, saith the Lord, in the day that I shall deale with thee?
A10650	But doth hee not call mee, invite me, beseech mee, command me to come unto him?
A10650	But doth not the Apostle say, that all things are put under his feete?
A10650	But even in their personall succession who knoweth not what Simonies and Sorceries have raised divers of them unto that degree?
A10650	But how doe we in the Gospell see the Image of God who is invisible?
A10650	But if the paw of a Beare meet with so thinne a substance as the kall of a mans heart, how easily is it torne to pieces?
A10650	But it may bee objected, if wee can doe nothing without a second grace, to what end is a former grace given?
A10650	But shall God give his Sonne the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession, and shall men withhold it?
A10650	But shall not the Angels then be executioners of the sentence of Gods wrath upon wicked men?
A10650	But suppose that povertie be truly alleaged: Doe wee thinke poverty a just pretext for the neglect of a morall duty?
A10650	But what good can love doe without power?
A10650	But what then, doth Christ compell men against their wills to become subiect unto him?
A10650	But what will remaine of a mans silver and gold to carry him through the wrath to come, but onely the rust thereof to joyne in judgment against him?
A10650	But what, is not God a God afarre off as well as neere at hand?
A10650	But who am I that I should promise any service unto thee?
A10650	But why is it said that the Father shal put Christs enemies under his feet?
A10650	Can thine heart endure or thine hands bee strong in the dayes that I shall deale with thee?
A10650	Dare we meete the Lord in his fury, doe we provoke him to powre out All his wrath?
A10650	Doe I finde in my soule the new name of the Lord Iesus written, that I am not onely in title, but in truth a Christian?
A10650	Doe I finde the secret nature and figure of Christ fashioned in mee, swaying mine heart to the love and obedience of his holy wayes?
A10650	Doe not wee our selves without cruelty upon many occasions put creatures that have not offended us unto paine?
A10650	Doe yee not know that they which minister about holy things, live of the things of the Temple?
A10650	Doth God take care for Oxen?
A10650	Doth it become the sonne of a King to goe in ragges, or to converse with meane and ignoble persons?
A10650	Ephraim shall say, what have I to doe any more with idols?
A10650	Fifthly, what kinde of blessing it was wherewith Melchisedek blessed Abraham?
A10650	Fifthly, what kinde of blessing it was with which hee blessed Abraham?
A10650	First, what is meant by the Rod of Christs Strength, or his Strong Rod?
A10650	First, whether God hath repented him of the Law, which was the rule and measure of the Covenant of workes?
A10650	First, who Melchisedek was?
A10650	For how can that man truly hope to bee like Christ hereafter, that labors to bee as unlike him here as hee can?
A10650	For the second question, why God swears in this particular?
A10650	For understanding wherof we must note that he had a fourfold Vnion unto God?
A10650	Fourthly, Why Melchisedek brought forth bread and wine?
A10650	Fourthly, the torments of wicked angels whence can they come?
A10650	Fourthly, why hee brought forth bread and wine?
A10650	Hast thou not knowne, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary?
A10650	Hath his Gospell an effectual seminall vertue within me to new forme my nature and life daily unto his heavenly Image?
A10650	Hath the Raine a Father, or who hath begotten the Drops of Dew?
A10650	Have I beene a wildernesse unto Israel, or a land of darknesse, wherefore say my people we are lords, we will come no more unto thee?
A10650	He is neere at hand, his comming draweth nigh: He is neere that justifieth mee, who will contend with m ● e?
A10650	He that loveth not his brother whom hee hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seene?
A10650	He was taken, saith the Prophet, from Prison and judgment, to note that the whole debt was payed, and now who shall declare his generation?
A10650	Here is love in pretence, but falshood in the heart: what then was it which in the Prophet they did thus love?
A10650	Here then it is needfull to enquire in what manner we are to adorne and set forth the glory of the Gospell?
A10650	Here then may bee answered two great Questions: First, whether the Church may deficere, faile upon the earth or no?
A10650	How doe you say we are wise; saith the Prophet, and the Law of the Lord is with us?
A10650	How doth the Lord grant this Prayer?
A10650	How earnestly should wee contend for this truth, the custodie whereof he hath honoured us withall?
A10650	How faire and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights?
A10650	How much more glorious was the light of the Gospell?
A10650	How poore our progresse?
A10650	How shall I deliver thee Israel?
A10650	How shall I make thee as Admah?
A10650	How shall I set thee as Zeboim?
A10650	How shall these things be reconcil''d?
A10650	How should we praise him for it, and as wee have received Christ purely, so labour to walk worthily in him?
A10650	How should we runne to him that called us when we knew him not?
A10650	How should we set forward, and call upon one another, that we may flie like doves in companies unto the windowes of the Church?
A10650	How then comes it that this covenant is immutable, and Christs Priesthood of everlasting and unchangeable vigor to all ages and generations of men?
A10650	How wonderfull is the stupidity of men, that will neither beleeve the words, nor tremble at the oath of God?
A10650	I raised up of your sonnes for Prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites: Is it not even thus, O yee children of Israel?
A10650	I said, how shall I put thee amongst the children, and give thee a pleasant Land?
A10650	I will melt them and trie them, saith the Lord, for how shall I doe for the daughter of my people?
A10650	If God be for us, who can be against us?
A10650	If I be a Master, saith the Lord, where is my feare?
A10650	If a man had a deadly pestilence and of infallible infection, how easily might that man be avenged on his enemy with but breathing in his face?
A10650	If it bee marvailous in the eyes of the remnant of this people, should it bee marvailous in mine eyes, saith the Lord of hosts?
A10650	If it objected, why then did not Christ in his life receive tithes?
A10650	If the ministration of death( saith the Apostle) were glorious, how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious?
A10650	If wee have sowen unto you spirituall things, is it a great thing if wee shall reape your carnall things?
A10650	In that great tempest when Christ was asleepe in the ship, his Disciples awaked him and expostulated with him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
A10650	In this case what shall I doe?
A10650	Is Christ divided?
A10650	Is Christ my center?
A10650	Is it not one and the same power which hardneth the one and which softneth the other?
A10650	Is not the word a sweete Savor unto God as well in those that perish as in those that are saved?
A10650	Is not this the end why the Gospell is preached, that we should live unto God?
A10650	Is the seed yet in the barne?
A10650	It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A10650	It is God that justifieth, who is hee that condemneth?
A10650	It is further demanded when sinne is full?
A10650	It was once the expostulation of Nehemiah with his enemies, should such a man as I flie from such men as you?
A10650	It wrought so with that wicked king of Israel, Behold this evill is of the Lord, what should I waite upon the Lord any longer?
A10650	Lastly, in what sense hee was without Father, and without Mother, without beginning of dayes, or end of life?
A10650	Must I not have a being in that, when neither I nor my posterity have either backe to be clothed, or belly to bee fed, or name to be supported?
A10650	My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee?
A10650	My soule thirsteth for God, yea for the living God, when shall I come and appeare before God?
A10650	Nay, but who art thou, O man, who disputest against God?
A10650	Now by the Gospell we have that great honour and priviledge given us to be called the sons of God; and shall we then walke as servants of Satan?
A10650	Now suppose a man in a burning fornace; what great comfort could he receive from but a drop of water against a fornace of fire?
A10650	Now then if God himselfe did studie to save me, how great reason is there that I should studie to serve him?
A10650	Now what are all the good tidings to the Gospell?
A10650	Nunquid Cain cum Deo munus offerret jam peremerat fratrem?
A10650	O how forward ought we to be to serve him, who is so ready to meet us in his way, and to blesse us?
A10650	O my people, what have I done unto thee, and wherein have I wearied thee?
A10650	O then what is become of the Christianity of many men, who forget that they have beene purged?
A10650	O then why should that be light to mee, which was as heavie as a milstone to the soule of Christ?
A10650	O what a perversenesse is this for the wickednesse of man to perturbe the Order of God?
A10650	O what a price was that which procured it?
A10650	O what manner of persons ought we to bee for whom it was procured?
A10650	O what would a man give then for that holinesse which hee now despiseth?
A10650	O where shall the ungodly and sinners appeare if they have not right in Christ?
A10650	O why am I not as sadly imployed, why spend I not some at least as serious and inquisitive thoughts about this, as about the other?
A10650	O why should not an holy strictnesse be as much honoured as a superstitious?
A10650	Or where could he have found out an Altar whereon to offer, and whereby to sanctifie so great a sacrifice?
A10650	Out of whose wombe came the Ice?
A10650	Peter lovest thou me?
A10650	Quantus in Christiano populo honor Christi, ubi religio ignobilem facit?
A10650	Quid est Dei veri veracisque Iuratio, nisi promissi confirma ● tio, ut infidelium quaedam Increpatio?
A10650	Quid judicaturus faciet qui judicandus hoc fecit?
A10650	Quid ● ● fert dictis ignoscat Mutius, annon?
A10650	Say I these things as a man( that is, am I partiall?
A10650	Secondly, upon what reasons or grounds the immutabilitie of the second Covenant or Law of grace standeth?
A10650	Secondly, what is meant by Gods sending this Rod of Christs strength?
A10650	Secondly, what is meant by 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, his Order?
A10650	Secondly, why hee swears in this particular case of Christs Priesthood?
A10650	Shall I take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot?
A10650	Shall the clay boast it selfe against the fire, because, though it have power to melt wax, yet it hath not power to melt clay?
A10650	Sixthly, in what manner he received Tithes?
A10650	Sixthly, in what manner he received Tithes?
A10650	Sonne of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloudy Citie, saith the Lord?
A10650	That reason which the Pharisees used to disswade men from beleeving in Christ, Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees beleeved on him?
A10650	The Lord hath sworne] Here two things are to bee enquired: First, how God is said to sweare?
A10650	The like may be said of mens spirituall condition; when men despaire, as Cain, that their sinne is greater than can be forgiven?
A10650	The very best that are finde shame enough in sinne, how much they who give themselves over unto vile and dishonourable affections?
A10650	Then( saith the Church) shee that is mine enemies shall see it,& shame shall cover her which said unto mee, Where is the Lord thy God?
A10650	Thirdly, Why was hee not a Priest after the order of Aaron?
A10650	Thirdly, what is meant by sending it out of Sion?
A10650	Thirdly, why Christ was to bee a Priest after his Order, and not after Aarons?
A10650	Thou servest thine owne vainglorie and affectations; but what good will it bee to bee admired by thy fellow prisoners, and condemned by thy Judge?
A10650	Too true it is that I doe not all I should: but doe I allow my selfe in any thing that I should not?
A10650	True it is, thou hast beene unto me as the Rulers of Sodome, and as the people of Gomorrah: But shall I be unto thee, as I have beene unto them?
A10650	What ailed a man that hee was driven back from his owne channell, and made suddenly to forget his wonted course?
A10650	What ailed thee O thou Sea, that thou fleddest, and thou Iordan that thou wert driven back?
A10650	What ailes this man?
A10650	What glory doe we here behold, but that which a glasse is able to represent?
A10650	What hast thou to doe to take my Covenant in thy mouth, seeing thou hatest instruction?
A10650	What hath my beloved to doe in mine house, seeing shee hath wrought lewdnesse with many?
A10650	What in appearance weaker than words spoken by a despised man?
A10650	What is a Bee to a Beare, or a Mouse to an Elephant?
A10650	What thing is heavier than a mountaine, what thing easier than a touch, what lighter than chaffe, or softer than wax?
A10650	What will yee doe in the desolation which shall come from farre?
A10650	When I see a vapour ascend out of the earth into the aire, why should I not thinke that it will never leave rising till it get up to heaven?
A10650	When Iudas asked Christ, n Master is it I that shall betray thee?
A10650	When the Prophet asked the Shunamite, would''st thou be spoken for to the king, or to the Captaine of the host?
A10650	Whence came it all?
A10650	Where is it that wee behold the glorie of God but s in a glasse?
A10650	Where is the promise of his comming?
A10650	Wherefore lyest thou upon thy face, there is an accursed thing in the campe?
A10650	Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
A10650	Who amongst us shall dwell with the devouring fire, who amongst us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A10650	Who art thou, O great mountaine?
A10650	Who hath required this at your hands to tread in my Courts?
A10650	Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his people?
A10650	Who is he that condemneth?
A10650	Who is he that condemneth?
A10650	Who is mine adversary?
A10650	Who is weake, saith he, and I am not weake?
A10650	Who planteth a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit thereof?
A10650	Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A10650	Who then is the man that desireth tranquillitie of life, and securitie against all evill?
A10650	Why should I allow that to be really in me, which the Lord so severely punished, when the guilt thereof was but imputed to his Sonne?
A10650	Why should it be treason to kill a Judge in his ministerie on the bench?
A10650	Why should not every man strive to be filled with grace, since he can never have enough till hee have it all, till he is brimme- full?
A10650	Why should that be in a throne with me, which was upon a crosse with him?
A10650	Why should that bee my pleasure, which was his passion?
A10650	Wilt thou be content to goe to hell and serve me there a thousand yeeres in the midst of hellish torments, and the reviling of damned creatures?
A10650	Wilt thou revenge every oath with an yeare of prayers, every bribe or corruption with a treasury of almes, every vanity with an age of precisenesse?
A10650	Would any Prince endure to see the heire of his crowne live in bondage to his own vassall and most hated enemie?
A10650	You will say Christ is in heaven, how can any injuries of ours reach unto him?
A10650	a Quid est quod di ● itur Testamentum vetus, nisi occultatio novi?
A10650	and how shall I doe for the daughters of my people?
A10650	and shall it then bee within the compasse of humane power to effect, as it is in their pride to maintaine, fieri posse ut nulla sit Ecclesia?
A10650	and shall they detaine themselves from him?
A10650	and the hoary frost of heaven who hath gendred it?
A10650	and what in the experience of all the world stronger than the raging of an army of lusts?
A10650	and what is that glasse?
A10650	and when was Juda destroyed, but when they hardened themselves against the Word, and would not take notice of the day of their peace?
A10650	and which can throughly furnish a man unto every good worke?
A10650	and who is thy Minister that hee should doe any good unto me without thy grace and heavenly call?
A10650	but because in such relations they are persons publike and representative, ut eorum bona malaque ad Rempublicam pertineant?
A10650	but the word of God as S. Iames cals it?
A10650	can not hee blast the corne in the blade, in the harvest, in the barne, in the very mouth of the wicked?
A10650	doe I make use of mine infirmities to justifie my selfe by them, or shelter my selfe under them, or dispence with my selfe in them?
A10650	doe I speake meerly out of affection, and humane favor to mine owne cause, or calling?)
A10650	doth not Christ himselfe do it as well as the Father?
A10650	doth not hee say of wicked men, that in the fulnesse of their sufficiency they shall bee in straites?
A10650	for him, who bare our sinnes, and our stripes, and our burdens for us, which were heavier than all the world could lay on?
A10650	hath he divers opinions, or hath he the truth of God in respect of persons?
A10650	how can I dwell with everlasting burnings?
A10650	how then is that part of the intercession of Christ made good unto us?
A10650	in the midst of Satans buffets and our owne corruptions to finde a sufficiencie in his Grace, able to answer and to ward off all?
A10650	l Incredulity, and belying the Lord in his Word, saying it is not he: Who hath beleeved our report, and to whom is the arme of the Lord revealed?
A10650	may a man spend the Lords day on his shop- board because he is poore and wants means?
A10650	o I knew that thou wert an austere man; and this is an p hard saying, who can beare it?
A10650	or esteemed an injurie to the state to doe any indignitie to the Ambassadour of a great prince?
A10650	or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
A10650	or saith hee it altogether for our sakes?
A10650	or what beauty wilt thou finde on the left hand of Christ, where the characters of every mans hellish conscience shall bee written in his face?
A10650	or what use is there of our exciting that grace and gift of God in us which can doe nothing without a further concourse of Christs Spirit?
A10650	or, saith not the Law the same also?
A10650	quid regnaturus poterit, qui moriturus hoc potuit?
A10650	shall I change my Covenant, because thou hast multiplied thy backslidings?
A10650	so frequently in Scripture the Saints expostulate with God in an humble and mourning debate, Why sleepest thou, O Lord?
A10650	that is, in the words of another Prophet, Who can stand before his indignation?
A10650	that men should have more boldnesse to destroy themselves, and to doe Satans works, than we to save them, or to serve God?
A10650	to be stedfast in him when we stagger in our selves?
A10650	to bee faithfull in him when wee are fearefull in our selves?

A10659	First, Sinne will abide for the time of this mortall life in the most regenerate, who can say, I have made my heart cleane, I am free from my sinne?
A10659	First, how ungratefull?
A10659	Flee for ● … ication( saith the Apostle) why?
A10659	For how can men beleeve without a teacher?

A10659	If their prayers and devotions stinke, how much more their oathes and execrations?
A10659	If their sacrifices and that which they offer to God is vnclean, how uncleane is their sacriledge and that which they steale from him?
A10659	If this be all the reward we haue for waiting and calling upon God, to what purpose serve our humiliations and fastings?
A10659	If to use thy hands or feete, looke unto them, there are seeds of more sins, theft, bribery, murther, adultery( what not?)
A10659	Impatiency from such a man as Ieremie after such revelations from God?
A10659	In one word what more honourable then to obtaine the end for which a thing is made?
A10659	In stead of my luxurie and delycacies, become my selfe the foode of wormes?
A10659	In stead of my purple and scarlet, be cloathed with rottennesse?
A10659	In tota anima,& in toto corpore conditorem habeopacis Deum, quis in me seminavit hoc bellum?
A10659	Is every man to be herein a follower of Christ?
A10659	Is hee now contrary to himselfe?
A10659	Is my flesh of brasse, or my bones of iron, that I should thinke to hold out, and without interruption to enjoy these earthly things?
A10659	Is not his fidelitie as firme towards weake and poore, as towards rich beleevers?

A10659	Is the Law then against the Promises of God?
A10659	Is there any want or weakenesse, any poverty or deficiency in heaven?
A10659	Is there not a Moth in my richest garments, a Worme in my tallest Cedars, a Canker and rust in my fi ● … nest Gold to corrupt and eate it out?

A10659	Now then I demand, what is that whereby I doe assent unto this proposition( in case it were true) That the Church can not erre?
A10659	Now then if wicked workes could not prevent the Love of God, why should wee thinke that they can nullyfie or destroy it?

A10659	Saint Paul who triumphed and insulted over all the rest, over the World, o Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ?
A10659	Secondly, what a foolish thing it is to be Gods enemies, as every man is that continues in sinne without returning unto him?

A10659	Shall I that am reserv''d to such honour, live in the meane time after the lusts of the Gentiles, who have no hope?

A10659	That is carefull to redeeme all his pretious time, and to make every houre of his life comfortable and beneficiall to himselfe and others?
A10659	That is, How shall I make mine owne Church as the cities of Sodome?

A10659	The members may be weary of serving their law, but is the law of the members weary of quickning or commanding them?

A10659	To drive and compell them; why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as doethe Iewes?
