| A13544 | The same in the powder- plot: what deuice was euer fairer, or neerer? |
| A13544 | Thus we see the truth of God, and his iustice: for hee hath said, Woe to thee that spoylest: shalt thou not be spoyled? |
| A13544 | Was not that most hellish massacre in France a meanes vtterly to haue abolisht the mention of religion for euer? |
| A13544 | Was there euer any nation, to whom God came so neere, and spake out of the fire,& c.? |

| A13544 | What shall I speake of the tyranny and cruelty of those Heathen Romane Emperours, within the first 300. yeeres after Christ? |
| A13544 | What then? |
| A13544 | Whence were the Emperours, who shed so much Christian blood in the first 300. yeares after Christ? |
| A13544 | Who bloweth vp massacres, rebellions, seditions, treasons, in all Countries, but this scarlet whore of Babylon? |
| A13544 | Who can complaine sufficiently of the grieuous temptings and out- brauings of God, which our eyes doe see? |
| A13544 | Who committeth Kings and Princes together, making them Woolues and tyrants one against another, but this Romish Nebuchadnezzar? |
| A13544 | Who is it whom the holy Ghost stileth the sonne of perdition, but the head of this Romish Apostasie? |
| A13544 | Why a little? |
| A13544 | Why doe you impute this to our Religion, being the error of a few infortunate Gentlemen? |
| A13544 | Why doth the Lord suffer the enemies thus to ensnare his people, that the Case seemes desperate, the deliuerance impossible? |
| A13544 | Why is this added? |

| A13544 | Would a Prince thinke to be poysoned( of purpose) in receiuing the Sacrament, by these charitable Catholikes? |
| A13544 | Would any man think the Pope would instigate to kill Christian Princes at the very Masse? |
| A13544 | and will not this coole their blood, and daunt their spirits from the like enterprises for time to come? |
| A13544 | and, that he who breweth mischiefe, should drink it? |
| A13544 | but haue wee not great hope, that the Lord will giue them to reape in ioy for such sorrowfull sowing? |

| A13541 | But by what bond was Christ tyed to fulfill the righteousnesse of the Law? |
| A13541 | But how shall wee know that we are in Christ? |
| A13541 | But if it were so, how came it into heauen? |
| A13541 | But seeing the best& dearest Saints haue erred, how may we trust their writings? |
| A13541 | But the God- head of the Son is from the Father, because the Sonne is God? |

| A13541 | Is Christ thus peculiarly the Sonne of God? |
| A13541 | Is God thus carefull of our profiting euery way? |
| A13541 | Let them be Lay- mens books, what doe they teach? |

| A13541 | Was Christs loue such to thee? |
| A13541 | We haue heard him speake our selues? |
| A13541 | Were it not a most irreuerent contempt, to runne out from the Word? |
| A13541 | What doth this infinite loue call for at our hands, but returne of loue for loue? |
| A13541 | What good hath many a man gotten by customable comming to the Word and Sacraments many yeeres together? |

| A13541 | Whether did Iohn erre in prohibiting Christ, or no? |
| A13541 | Whether was this a true materiall Doue, or an appearance of a Doue only? |
| A13541 | Whē wilt thou restore the kingdome to Israel? |
| A13541 | Whither shall I goe from thy Spirit? |
| A13541 | Who are these that fly like the Doues to the windowes? |

| A13541 | Who could obserue all the precepts of the Law? |
| A13541 | Who could vndertake vpon himselfe, and foile and ouercome all the curses of the Law, due to the sinnes of the Elect? |
| A13541 | Why did he so? |
| A13541 | Why did the holy Ghost appeare in this shape? |
| A13541 | Why would Christ be baptized? |
| A13541 | Why would Peter cast off his Master, or be cast off? |

| A13541 | With how great danger therefore doe men refuse and turne away from our doctrine? |
| A13541 | and canst thou finde an idle time to intend no whit at all? |

| A13534 | 6. he testified his innocencie, and that with all good conscience he serued God till that day ▪ but what tell you Ananias of doues innocency? |
| A13534 | A good rule therefore it is, often to examine our selues thus? |
| A13534 | Acknowledge thy crosse, make a good vse of it, but performe thy promises: Who shall dwell on Gods holy Mountaine? |
| A13534 | And dare a Christian carry a face in his life time, which neither God made at first, nor he dares appeare withall in the resurrection? |
| A13534 | And doe wee feare we can be too strict, who are to giue account of euery idle word, and roauing thought, much more of euery vnwarrantable action? |

| A13534 | how then should wee bee merry? |
| A13534 | how vnprofitable in any Christian society? |
| A13534 | nor any patch of ground so neglected as their owne hearts, that they grow like nettles and brambles, to bee cut vp and cast into the fire? |
| A13534 | or canst thou please him in bringing a strange beauty to couzen him withal, that he knowes is not thine owne? |
| A13534 | or shold not the life of a wise Christian, varie from the multitude and common people, in iudgement and practise? |
| A13534 | or wouldst thou haue another to make aduantage of thy necessity or simplicity? |
| A13534 | say they: what need men be so strict? |
| A13534 | to see a peasant cloathed like a Prince? |
| A13534 | what is here else, but carrying fire in the bosome, and walking vpon coles; and how can a man auoid burning? |
| A13534 | whiles they will scarce let any dunghill lye about their house, so nasty as their soules? |
| A13534 | ▪ And how good is a good word in due season? |
| A13561 | 1. Who can deny wealth to be the gift of God, if it beheld without couetousnesse, confidence, pride, and subordinate to heauen and heauenly things? |
| A13561 | 10. and shall wee to whom it more specially belongeth, not so much as aske or inquire after it? |
| A13561 | 17. and then how canst thou seeke? |
| A13561 | 2. Who is this stranger? |
| A13561 | 3 Who is the Merchant? |
| A13561 | 46. but not without the most fearefull reuenge that euer hapened to any nation vnder the heauens, vnder which they lye at this day? |
| A13561 | 5. or turne it to wantonnesse? |
| A13561 | Againe, art thou a poore man, hast thou a great charge of children, and no meanes to put them forth to trades? |
| A13561 | And how much more shall faithfull importunity preuaile with the most righteous and faithful God? |
| A13561 | And if they vnder the Law were so reuenged, how much more shall we liuing vnder the Gospell, if wee neglect so great saluation? |
| A13561 | And what must you conceiue in the actions of beleeuing? |
| A13561 | And where else is his Countrey? |
| A13561 | And why did Mary seeke Christ, hauing lost him three dayes? |
| A13561 | And why must he not? |
| A13561 | And why? |
| A13561 | And why? |
| A13561 | Art thou now sollicited to follow the lusts and fashions of this world? |
| A13561 | Art thou prouoked to sweare, to drinke excessiuely, to lye for aduantage, to breake the Sabbath for gaine, to vncleannesse, or any other soule lust? |
| A13561 | But God is a free giuer of grace, and before we can aske, we shall haue it without seeking: what need we then seek so diligently? |
| A13561 | But are not wicked men strangers here vpon earth, as well as the godly? |
| A13561 | But are they the ● ame they were? |
| A13561 | But doe these Elements make a Sacrament? |
| A13561 | But how then may a m ● an get God to be his guide? |
| A13561 | But is it otherwise with Dauid now, than with other men? |
| A13561 | But where was Dauid a stranger? |
| A13561 | But who am I? |
| A13561 | Christ seeketh vs, and desireth vs to seek him;& shal Christ seeke thee for thy good, and not thou seeke him for thine owne good? |
| A13561 | For how could Dauid be such a stranger, who set the Lord euer before him, and at his right hand, that hee might not sinne against him? |
| A13561 | For who should heare the complaints of a soiourner, but he with whom he soiourneth? |
| A13561 | How are they sanctified? |
| A13561 | How can they but mind earthly things, to whom God hath shewed no better? |
| A13561 | How carefull and digent were Josephs brethren to please their vnknowne brother, the Lord of that strange Countrey? |
| A13561 | How glad is an earthly father, when his children can seeke after that which is good for them? |
| A13561 | How haue the Saints esteemed and made grace their onely jewell and treasure? |

| A13561 | If one aske a Christian, What is thy Country? |
| A13561 | In the Supper of the Lord, what must you specially consider? |
| A13561 | In the matter of grace, how fearefully doe many thrust it away with both hands, wilfully forsaking their owne mercy? |
| A13561 | In their owne affection they be no strangers; for how can they considering they haue no other portion but here? |
| A13561 | Is it fit for such to follow fashions? |
| A13561 | Is the Bread and Wine turned into the very body& blood of Christ? |
| A13561 | Is there more weakenesse in thy seeking, than in Jacobs secking the blessing? |
| A13561 | Know yee not that your bodies are the Temples of the holy Ghost? |
| A13561 | Must none receiue the Sacrament of the Supper but Baptized persons? |
| A13561 | Now must shee beleeve there is no God: That the Scriptures are not his Word, but a Pollicie: or if it were his Word, who must interpret it? |
| A13561 | Now tell me what are the requisite actions of receiuers? |
| A13561 | Now what is meant by this pearle? |
| A13561 | Now what must a man do after the Sacrament? |
| A13561 | Now where dwelleth a Christian mans Father, but in heauen? |
| A13561 | Of this man saith Salomoa, Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a foole, and he wanteth heart? |
| A13561 | Oh what a fearefull case is it, that the Gospell should serue for the conuiction of men, and not for their conuersion? |
| A13561 | Oh what a world of sweet content lodgeth in the heart with Christ? |
| A13561 | Or can it please any husband, to come before him in a visard, a borrowed and adulterate face and fashion? |

| A27163 | Doth it not deserve to be punished with Scorpions? |
| A27163 | Doth not every thunderclap constraine you to tremble at the blast of his voyce? |
| A27163 | For who would follow the Law upon a thiefe, when he knoweth he shall rather run into further charge, than recover any of his old losse? |
| A27163 | God forbiddeth us to sweare by his name in vaine: and yet what is more rise than that? |
| A27163 | How far then were they from giving leave and liberty for filthy and stinking brothel- houses to be erected and maintained? |

| A27163 | How much more then is the Lord enraged, when they are scoffed at, derided, and set at naught? |
| A27163 | How unspeakable are his judgements? |
| A27163 | If then such pastimes were by the judgements of the Romanes noted with infamy, shall we have their equals in follies in better account? |
| A27163 | Is it the denying of a mans selfe? |
| A27163 | Is not this a manifest and profest disobedience, and intolerable rebellion against our Maker? |
| A27163 | Is not this the way to provoke his wrath, and stirre up his indignation against them? |
| A27163 | Is not this to declare himselfe openly to be Antichrist? |
| A27163 | Is not this to plucke a soul out of the House of God, and thrust it into the house of the devill? |
| A27163 | Is there a day without a Sun? |
| A27163 | Is there nothing but a voice, a singing of birds, or an harmonious consort of musicall instruments in the world? |
| A27163 | Nay who dare take knowledge of them? |
| A27163 | Now as this fact was a doing, a blind man ran by, being led by his dog; who hearing one groane, asked who it was? |
| A27163 | Now then if the very threatnings ought to serve for such good use, shall not the execution and performance of them serve much more? |
| A27163 | Now what was the cause of this lamentable destruction of this holy City, of the Temple and Sanctuary of the Lord, and of his owne people? |
| A27163 | Or a house be built without a Carpenter or builder? |
| A27163 | Or of Nero that slew his mother Agrippina, who was continually after pursued with a spirit in his mothers shape? |
| A27163 | Or of the evil spirits that haunted the grave of that cruel Tyrant Caesar Caligula? |
| A27163 | Or that he lies upon a Beacons side, With watchfull eye to circumscribe their traine, And hath no more regard unto their paine? |
| A27163 | Or the son to come after the father? |
| A27163 | Or wherein could these Devils incarnate shew forth their malice more apparently than thus? |
| A27163 | Or who is so fond as to put affiance in them? |
| A27163 | Plants and no seeds? |
| A27163 | Psalme proclaimeth his judgement: Why boastest thou in thy wickednesse thou Tyran? |
| A27163 | Say, you hogs and dogs, doe you not beleeve that which you see? |
| A27163 | Stephen Gardiner also, was one of the grand butchers in this land, what a miserable end came hee unto? |
| A27163 | The famous and rich Temple of Iupiter at Apamea, how strangely did it come to ruine and destruction? |
| A27163 | The putting off the old man touching our conversation in this life? |
| A27163 | The spirituall regeneration? |
| A27163 | Thus was the first city and temple destroyed: and did the second fare any better? |
| A27163 | To the Law, and to the Testimony? |
| A27163 | Was not his life indangered, and his body kept in close prison, where he cooled his feet two yeares or more? |
| A27163 | Wat shall we thinke of Manasses? |
| A27163 | What a disorder, confusion, and ignominy of nature is it, for a father to lie with her with whom his son had been but a little before? |
| A27163 | What childe is there that is not bound to honour and reverence his father? |
| A27163 | What cursed madnesse and impiety is this? |
| A27163 | What greater villany could there be than this? |
| A27163 | What more cruell fact( considering the person) might be committed? |
| A27163 | What more notable and wonderfull judgement could happen? |
| A27163 | What more wicked sentence was ever pronounced? |
| A27163 | What must wee therefore doe? |
| A27163 | What profits then the sheephooke of their Guide? |
| A27163 | What servant, that is not bound to obey his master, and to doe all that he shall will him? |
| A27163 | What shall I say of the Earle of Arundell, and a second Earle of Northumberland? |
| A27163 | What should I speake of the house of Eubatis in Corinth, written by Lucian? |
| A27163 | What subject, that is not tied in subjection to his Prince and Soveraigne? |
| A27163 | What viler disgrace could there be than this? |
| A27163 | Which if it be true, what is then the cause that in stead of serving and pleasing him, they doe nothing else but displease and offend his Majesty? |
| A27163 | Who seeth not here manifest traces and footsteps of Gods providence? |
| A27163 | a man to be so forgetfull of his Maker and himselfe, that he preferred his whores before his Saviour, and his filthy pleasure before the grace of God? |
| A27163 | and lastly, who dare assay to punish them? |
| A27163 | answered, Doe wee not cast from us lice and flegme which are also bred of our bodies? |
| A27163 | did hee not procure the death of six thousand men at one clap, at the discomfiture of Marius? |
| A27163 | doe not these speeches bewray a villanous and abhominable Atheist, if ever any were? |
| A27163 | from the living to the dead? |
| A27163 | or if your eyes be bored out that you can not see, must you thinke there is no Sunne nor light, because your eyes are in darknesse and blindnesse? |
| A27163 | or of Otto that slew his predecessor Galba; after which he never ceased to be molestred with fearful and terrible visions? |
| A27163 | out of Heaven, into Hell? |
| A27163 | than which, what greater apostasie or falling from God can there be? |
| A27163 | who can accuse a duety of piety? |
| A27163 | who dare sit down to judge them? |
| A27163 | who dare stand up to accuse them? |
| A13556 | & do they not then further our salvation? |
| A13556 | 17. Who will say this his prayer was needlesse? |
| A13556 | 18. if he be under no command, or if his obedience be without rule or direction? |
| A13556 | 2 Did not the Apostles preach and write the Gospell? |
| A13556 | 2 How can they justifie their calling, and out- boast all men in the assurance of their calling? |
| A13556 | 2. or how should he discover his daily errours, to be humbled for them? |
| A13556 | 25. and doth he not confesse with humility those foule sinnes, after he had a speciall message from God, that they were pardoned? |
| A13556 | 3. Who are these that are not under the Law? |
| A13556 | 9. Who can say, I am pure from sinne? |
| A13556 | And are not beleevers in the new testament subject to the same law, and penall statues of correction? |
| A13556 | And are they other that challenge Luther the patrone of a Sect, which himselfe saith, the Devill hath raised? |
| A13556 | And in the new Testament did not Paul long after his conversion and justification, confesse sinnes pardoned? |
| A13556 | And now in the second place seeing the justified person is so many wayes under the Law, how saith the Apostle that the beleevers are not under it? |
| A13556 | And on verse 23. he inquireth, that now seeing faith is come, what is the guard whereby wee are now kept? |
| A13556 | And what hath made these audacious Libertines bold but blindnes? |
| A13556 | And why not? |
| A13556 | Are they perfect without sinne, why doe they then as other sinfull men doe? |
| A13556 | Are they such strangers in the Scriptures, that they have not read neither of recompence nor reward? |
| A13556 | Are we lewd Preachers for urging the Law upon men? |
| A13556 | But Christ is our righteousnesse, and sanctification; what use of any righteousnesse or holinesse of our own? |
| A13556 | But I wish such to consider whether any errour can be more pernicious than that which rejecteth all rules of holy, and strict walking with God? |
| A13556 | But can God punish one sin twice; once in Christ, and againe in the person himselfe? |
| A13556 | But ha ● h not Christ borne all the punishment of the sinnes of beleevers? |
| A13556 | But have we no place in the new Testament to shew beleevers corrected for sinne? |
| A13556 | But how doe these lawlesse men, affirming the Law to be wholly abolished, denie it to bee written in their owne hearts? |
| A13556 | But how may a man get from under this dangerous estate? |
| A13556 | But this being but an adjunct, shall we argue from removing an accident, to the remotion of the subject? |
| A13556 | But to fulfil it, how? |
| A13556 | But what can be added to perfection? |
| A13556 | But what or wherein is this priviledge of not being under the Law? |
| A13556 | But who are these? |
| A13556 | Can David sinne, and for his sinne his flesh tremble with feare of Gods judgments? |
| A13556 | Can Peter at the side of Christ sinne, and that after so many warnings of Christ himselfe? |
| A13556 | Can any man hide himselfe in secret places, that I should not see him? |
| A13556 | Can you now( saith he) see this salt- celler? |
| A13556 | Christ cam not to destroy the Law, why? |
| A13556 | Dearely beloved, avenge not your selves: Why? |
| A13556 | Did not God the Father give up his Son for our our redemption:& shall not we well requite him in casting off all duty belonging to him as our Creator? |
| A13556 | Did not now the Apostles come as well with a rod, as with the spirit of meeknesse? |
| A13556 | Did not the Law take hold on David, when with so many other evills; Gods sword was upon his house for ever, for his scandalous sins? |
| A13556 | Did the Apostle write popery, or derogate frō Christ, in saying that Timothy did save himselfe and others? |
| A13556 | Did the Lord charge them with that hee did not see? |
| A13556 | Doe the Angels in heaven observe it as a rule of holinesse, and doe not the Saints in heaven? |
| A13556 | Doe we abrogate the Law by faith? |
| A13556 | Doe we not heare David confessing the sins of his youth long after they were not onely committed, but remitted? |
| A13556 | Doe you preach amongst a tumult of artizans, and illiterate men, so as our Ministers can not understand you? |
| A13556 | Doth Paul know but in part, and after faith find a law in his members rebelling against the law of his minde? |
| A13556 | Doth not Mr. Luther clearely say, that all Lawes are abolished? |
| A13556 | For 1. would Christ teach men without sin to pray daily for forgivenesse of sinne? |
| A13556 | For doe we exclaime against the Papists for blotting out the second commandement, as sacrilegious persons? |
| A13556 | For is not God the Redeemer the same with God the Creator? |
| A13556 | For this cause many are weake, and are sicke, and many die? |
| A13556 | Gideon saith of himselfe, Who am I? |
| A13556 | Had David sinne after faith? |
| A13556 | Hath Christ done lesse for beleevers in the old Testament than in the new? |
| A13556 | Hath not Christ done as much for them as for these? |
| A13556 | Hee did not conceive the Law thrust out of all use by Christ: for then why should men fearing God learne the true use of it? |
| A13556 | How can a man persuade love as a worke of faith, and not the same a worke of the Law? |
| A13556 | How could we sin as they did, if we were not under the same Law? |
| A13556 | How did hee walke? |
| A13556 | How doth faith stablish the Law? |
| A13556 | How may we know a man gotten from under this da ● ger of the Law? |
| A13556 | How may we? |
| A13556 | I am glad of my sinne( saith one) because it hath drawne me to Christ: and why doest thou not mourne that by those sinnes thou hast pierced Christ? |
| A13556 | I was a blasphemer, and a persecuter,& c. And did not God now see and know these sinnes past and pardoned; or not heare their confessions? |
| A13556 | If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall judge it: but if a man sinne against the Lord, who shall pleade for him? |
| A13556 | Is Luther now yours? |
| A13556 | Is any honour due to the Father for creation, that is not due to the Sonne for creation? |
| A13556 | Is hee not as contrary, and directly contradictory to your foolish tenents as the Sunshine of midday is to the darkenesse of midnight? |
| A13556 | Is not our rule to doe onely what the Lord commandeth? |
| A13556 | Is now the spirit of God idle in all these and the like precepts? |
| A13556 | Is the spirit therefore a free spirit, because hee frees us from the Law? |
| A13556 | Is there nothing else to be feared of a Christian but finall condemnation? |
| A13556 | Is this his commandement of any other love than that which is the summe of the second table? |
| A13556 | It is frivolous and popish to conceive the Gospell a new Law: for is not the covenant of grace the same in the old Testament, and new? |
| A13556 | It will make a greater noise, that you can contemne such conquered adversaries: for what are your London Ministers to them? |
| A13556 | No? |
| A13556 | No? |
| A13556 | Now must Christ walk in the obedience of the commandements, and must not the Christian? |
| A13556 | Or can the addition of the greatest& most singular benefit that we are capable of, loose us from our former duty, or rather tie us faster? |
| A13556 | Or is that the duty of a free and willing subject to cast off the lawes of his King? |
| A13556 | Our love makes us keep his commandements: but what is that to the commandements of the Law? |
| A13556 | Par: The same works are both the workes of the Law,& of faith, how? |
| A13556 | Quid est enim Deum videre peccata, nisi punire peccata? |
| A13556 | Shall Christ as a Priest sacrifice himselfe, and make such earnest prayers for sanctification of beleevers? |
| A13556 | Shall franticke Papists ever finde life and righteousnesse by the works of that Law which condemns that very fact? |
| A13556 | So doest thou expresse love, shew mercy, execute justice, or practise any vertue, and not by vertue of any commandement? |
| A13556 | Such as concerned fornication, v. 3. and oppression& fraud, v. 6. and were not these the same duties of the Law? |
| A13556 | Suppose the threatnings shall never take holde of a beleever, may ● ot hee therefore heare of them? |
| A13556 | Tell me( saith Augustine) what there is in all the ten commandements, what it is that a Christian is not bound unto? |
| A13556 | That Christ hath abolished all lawes of Moses that ever were? |
| A13556 | The assurance of divine assistance: for are the adversaries such? |
| A13556 | The victory is easie and certaine, unlesse God and his Law can be conquered: and who ever rose up against God and prospered? |
| A13556 | This is also St. Augustines exposition of the phrase: What is it for God to see sinne, but to punish sinne? |
| A13556 | To say, we obey God by by the spirit without a Law or a commandement, is a meere non sence: for is any obedience without a Law? |
| A13556 | Wee: Who? |
| A13556 | Were not examples of the old Testament examples to us that wee should not sinne as they sinned? |
| A13556 | What a case now are these mē in? |
| A13556 | What beleever conceives himselfe under the commanding power of the Law, to bee iustified by it? |
| A13556 | What is this commandement, and what is it to fulfill it? |
| A13556 | What is written in the Law? |
| A13556 | What love then in these men, that will keepe no commandements? |
| A13556 | What none? |
| A13556 | What say they? |
| A13556 | What were they? |
| A13556 | What will it availe us to contend for, or establish a faith which is dead, severed from the life and fruites of holinesse? |
| A13556 | What will you say of St. Paul, who commands us to worke out our salvation with feare and trembling? |
| A13556 | What will you teach justification by workes? |
| A13556 | Wherefore were ye not afraid to speake against my servant Moses? |
| A13556 | Whether doe not these men thinke, that sowing is a furtherance to the harvest? |
| A13556 | Who? |
| A13556 | Why? |
| A13556 | Why? |
| A13556 | Will you repent all your dayes? |
| A13556 | Would hee command those to pray daily not to be led into temptation, that can not sinne if they would? |
| A13556 | Yea to the law more strictly expounded than by the Scribes and Pharises? |
| A13556 | and against the Anabaptists for denying the fifth? |
| A13556 | and are you in so high a forme beyond these worthies, that you can not sinne if you would? |
| A13556 | and is there no such thing, or if there be, may not we preach it, and vrge it? |
| A13556 | and shall we be silent at these sectaries, whose blindnesse hath made them bolde to blot out all the ten at once? |
| A13556 | and that after grace received, the good hee would doe, hee did not, and the evill hee would not doe, that did hee? |
| A13556 | and what doth the Apostle Peter say lesse? |
| A13556 | and what were the commandements of the Apostles, but evangelicall commandements,& commandements of Christ? |
| A13556 | are they not from the just God, whose justice can not punish the guiltlesse? |
| A13556 | are they not merited by sinne? |
| A13556 | because they are sonnes, or because they have sinnes? |
| A13556 | did not they call mens eyes, not onely to behold the goodnesse of God, but also to behold his severity? |
| A13556 | did not they perswade men, as knowing the terrour of the Lord? |
| A13556 | did they beare more wrath for their sin than we? |
| A13556 | doe they live by divers charters? |
| A13556 | even the same yesterday, to day, and for ever? |
| A13556 | for can he be a sonne that beareth not the image of his father? |
| A13556 | hath death any commission where is no sinne? |
| A13556 | he that will not heare the Lord, saying, What I command thee, that doe onely: shall heare, Who required these things at your hands? |
| A13556 | how can they expect heaven, that not only loose themselves from the holines of them that must be inhabitants there, but hate it, and resist it? |
| A13556 | how readest thou? |
| A13556 | how should he remember from whence he is fallen? |
| A13556 | or are wee so while wee urge men in the words of the same spirit? |
| A13556 | or be raised to doe his first workes( for all this must further his sanctification) without the rule of the Law? |
| A13556 | or can any libertine disavow and scorne it, but hee must also renounce& reiect the priesthood of Christ? |
| A13556 | or did not Christ carry as much wrath from thē as from us? |
| A13556 | or did not they frame their lives to the same sobriety, righteousnes and holinesse that we doe? |
| A13556 | or did the vertue of it begin at the time of his passion? |
| A13556 | or doth hee call men now to the justification of the Law? |
| A13556 | or if he were not, why are wee so for teaching the same doctrine? |
| A13556 | or is he idle in his exhortations to sanctification? |
| A13556 | or is it such a peece of popery to say, that the use of the meanes doth further the end? |
| A13556 | or is not the faith of Messiah to come alike precio ● s as the faith of him come already? |
| A13556 | or to expect to stand righteous before God by their obedience? |
| A13556 | or to prayer; how can they call on him on whom they have not beleeved? |
| A13556 | or what is my Fathers house, but the least in all Israel? |
| A13556 | then why were not Christ& his Apostles so, in pressing on beleevers the obedience of the law? |
| A13556 | was hee not the same lambe slaine from the beginning of the world? |
| A13556 | was not his death as vertuous to the first ages of the world, as to the last? |
| A13556 | what can be more ridiculous than for a subject to professe obedience to his Prince, but yet hee will not be under any Law? |
| A13556 | which certainly was as much abolished in the Apostles dayes as now? |
| A64251 | 16. what delight for a Sheep among a herd of Swine? |
| A64251 | 18. that the gates of hell should not prevaile against his Faith; might not he be bold in this Promise? |
| A64251 | 20. better never have knowne the way of truth, then forsake it; was Lots wi ● e a ● ● better for getting out of Sodome that looked backe? |
| A64251 | 22. so is it among Christians; but shall we count it Puritanisme, which is a vile Heresie? |
| A64251 | 3. Who smit him? |
| A64251 | 6. how should it humble us? |

| A64251 | Are we smitten with tongues of men, swords of men? |
| A64251 | Art thou one of this mans Disciples? |
| A64251 | As John said to one, what hast thou to doe with prayer, or with the promises? |
| A64251 | At his Doctrine; these are hard sayings, who can beare them? |
| A64251 | At the place of his Education; Can any good come out of Galilee? |
| A64251 | Avoid it, goe not by it, turne from it, passe by it: What need so many repetitions if we were not prone to the lust of it? |
| A64251 | But a ● t thou my Son Esau? |
| A64251 | But have the Creatures more power to teach then God himself, or why doth the Lord thus use them? |
| A64251 | But how contrary we see that of Solomon? |
| A64251 | But might not Peter be bold of victory, standing in so good a cause? |
| A64251 | Can not I follow thee now? |
| A64251 | Christ never offended any man, yet what loads of slanders carried he to sanctifie ours? |
| A64251 | Comfort him in his troubles with good and approved comforts,; not as Jezabell did Ahab sick; up, art thou King of Israel? |
| A64251 | Doe you thinke Peter had a purpose now to deny his Master, whose purpose immediately before was so strong against it? |
| A64251 | Evill men will make mole- Hils swell to such Mountains against godly men; how would they insult if they can catch just advantage? |
| A64251 | For their practices how just is it if we joyne our selves in their sins, that we should not be disjoyned in their judgements? |
| A64251 | Hast thou any life in thy Soule, and feelest not what great mercyes God offereth unto thy soule, body, thy selfe and thine? |
| A64251 | Hast thou any life in thy Soule, and feelest not what great mercyes God offereth unto thy soule, body, thy selfe and thine? |

| A64251 | Hast thou any sense and understanding in Scripture, and seest not how the Lord still makes sin more grievous by mercyes received and despised? |
| A64251 | Hath not Peter expressed weaknesse enough yet, but he must rise to further sinnes, and goe on like one given up to reprobate sence? |
| A64251 | He despised the shame, and why should not we doe so? |
| A64251 | He not for his cause, but ours, and shall not we for his? |
| A64251 | He should have considered that the strength of Faith of the Saints hath bin shaken in temptation, as Abraham, Paul, David, and why not he? |
| A64251 | Here first marke how Peter ● un upon temptation; for what had he to do there in the Hall of the high Priest? |
| A64251 | How are we glued to the love of the profits, and glory of the World? |
| A64251 | How can the Pope challenge from him freedome from errour? |
| A64251 | How can they exempt themselves from errour, who at this day teach men to imitate Peter in lying, swearing, and cursing themselves? |
| A64251 | How dares Peter produce God himselfe as a witnesse to confirme a knowne lye? |
| A64251 | How doe we blush at the Chaine, and shame at the Crosse of Christ, which indeed is the glory and crowne of a Christian? |
| A64251 | How hard is it to deny our selves? |
| A64251 | How may I doe it? |
| A64251 | How much blameworthy are they that choose wicked society and familiarity? |
| A64251 | How much evill will breake out of a good heart in a short space, in one hour, if Gods grace uphold it not? |
| A64251 | How much harder is it to get out of the custome and habit of sin and sinfull Companionship? |
| A64251 | How shall I be able to confesse Christ in trials? |

| A64251 | Is it no sinne for Daughters of God to match and marry with Sonnes of Men? |
| A64251 | Is it not a fearfull thing to be weary of well doing, and a fearfull wickednesse to make defection from God? |
| A64251 | Is it not better and fitter one Vriah be slaine, then so great and godly a King stayned in his honour and reputed an Adulterer? |

| A64251 | Is not our cause as good? |
| A64251 | Is there not a cause? |
| A64251 | Is this not to deny Christ, to deny thy selfe a Christian? |
| A64251 | Is this to follow the Master, to deny himselfe, his Disciples? |

| A64253 | For, while men drinke in delights, how is wisdome banished out of the soule? |
| A64253 | Fourthly, were it not more wisedome, to set an high price on time in earth, then in hell? |
| A64253 | God shed his Blood: and was this onely to get remission of smaller sinnes( that had beene but a small thing to us) and not of greater? |
| A64253 | Hast thou a desire? |
| A64253 | Hath God adopted me to be his sonne? |
| A64253 | Have I all this time little thought of Gods wayes, of treasuring in heaven, of my latter end, and of my reckoning? |
| A64253 | Have I professed hostility to it in my baptisme? |
| A64253 | His hand is not shortened? |
| A64253 | How can they be acceptable to God, who refuse his acceptable time? |
| A64253 | How do they infect the mind, oppresse the soule, dull the wit, waste the body, and bring harmes on a man a thousand more? |
| A64253 | How easie a thing were it to be a lover of pleasure more then of God? |
| A64253 | How glad may a good heart be, when it can appeale to God, and desire him to witnesse the innocency of it? |
| A64253 | How had the case stood with me, if God had summoned me, and cut me off, when he cut off such and such of my yeares and acquaintance? |
| A64253 | How is it with me other then a seafaring man? |
| A64253 | How labours it of the poison of sin? |
| A64253 | How many hearty prayers did David poure out to the Lord in his sicknesse? |
| A64253 | How many riots, surfets, disorders in their lives? |
| A64253 | How may that bee done? |
| A64253 | How rich is such a one in his grace, how happy in his account, and in his reward? |
| A64253 | How rich might the soule be by time well watehed and spent, and by awaking the heart continually to take hold of God? |
| A64253 | How stands the case with me? |
| A64253 | How was Iacob forced to flie from his fathers house, for feare of Esau? |
| A64253 | I was borne with teares, and shall die with teares: why should I live without them in this valley of teares? |
| A64253 | If Shemei raile upon me, God hath bidden him raile upon David, and who can say, What doest thou? |
| A64253 | If judgement begin at the house of God, what shall the end of the wicked be? |
| A64253 | If they called the Master Belzebub, may they well not call me Divell? |
| A64253 | In the losse of life for Christ, a godly heart setteth before it: 1 Christs giving his life for him: and was not his life and glory as deare to him? |
| A64253 | Is Christs Commission changed? |
| A64253 | Is it all one, to be a fisher of men, and to fish for Kingdomes? |
| A64253 | Is it possible to have familiar conversation with a wanton Harlot, and not be inveigled with her bands and snares? |
| A64253 | Is not his Axe laid to the root of the Tree, to hew it downe, if it be still unprofitable? |
| A64253 | Is the Lord my portion, and are not my lines fallen into a good ground? |
| A64253 | Let me aske an ancient man or woman: Why hath God given thee more yeares then those that are younger? |
| A64253 | May not God do with his owne as he will? |
| A64253 | Nay, see I not my Lord Iesus consecrated by Afflictions? |
| A64253 | Now if he give the greater, will hee deny the lesse? |
| A64253 | Now what man being absent from his owne house doth not long to dispatch his businesse, so to returne home? |
| A64253 | Now where godlinesse hath taken up the heart, it will quiet it thus: Hath God chosen me, and graciously respected me? |
| A64253 | Or how comes it to passe, that children seeing their Fathers mortality, can yet live in their Fathers sinnes? |
| A64253 | Or how shall God wipe away my teares in heaven, if I shed none in earth? |
| A64253 | Or if the heathen could say hee was never lesse alone then when alone, may not a true active Christian say so much more? |
| A64253 | Or wilt thou be( as Arnobius) absque Christo Christianus? |
| A64253 | Or with contentions and brablings in law, like common barreters? |
| A64253 | Propter Ca venda scandala, quò ibu extra mun ● um, nisi f ● gias ● deum qui f ● ● it mund ● ●? |
| A64253 | Say with Elkanah, Is not God better to me then ten husbands, or ten thousand children? |
| A64253 | Secondly, old age is a thing which every one desireth: and shall no man like it, when it commeth? |
| A64253 | Secondly, where shall a man goe, but he may finde an altar to offer the sacrifice of almes, even some object of mercy? |
| A64253 | See I not the Saints partners in the crosse with me? |
| A64253 | See we not at this day most gracious Parents tryed& shamed with most gracelesse children? |
| A64253 | Shall Christ so willingly buckle under his crosse, and shall wee be as Simon of Cyrene, who wi ● ● not beare it unlesse it be forced upon us? |
| A64253 | Shall he come to his owne, and they not receive him? |
| A64253 | Shall his Prophets and Apostles be smitten with the tongue and sword, and shall wee thinke strange of it? |
| A64253 | Shall many at once take occasion of Apostasie from his Doctrine, and shall wee disdaine that men fall off from ours? |
| A64253 | Shall not Christs own Doctrine from his blessed mouth be exempted from murmuring, dissention, captious quarrelling, and shall we looke that ours can? |
| A64253 | Si tantum de deferēd ● morte satagitur, quā 〈 ◊ 〉 de au f ● exda laborandum est? |
| A64253 | Sixtly, why do we put any time into the account of our lives, but that which we carefully passe, and well, spend? |
| A64253 | So every man of yeares should recount his time past: What, have I lived thus long, ● ainly, sinfully, and earthly? |
| A64253 | This valour and prowesse will keepe a Minister from recoyling and retyring, and make him say with Nehemiah, Should such a man as I flee? |
| A64253 | Trafficke till I come, And what thinke we? |
| A64253 | Was Christ hated in the world? |
| A64253 | Was it not Sampsons overthrow? |
| A64253 | Was not David exercised by his rebellious Absalom? |
| A64253 | Was not David mocked by his Michal? |
| A64253 | Was not Iobs greatest trouble out of his owne bosome? |
| A64253 | Was not his breath strange to his wife, who would not be intreated for their childrens sake? |
| A64253 | Was not that a most notable prayer of Ezekiah in his sicknesse? |
| A64253 | What a bad constitution is my heart of? |
| A64253 | What a comfort is it to a mans heart, that he can say, Thus long have I served God? |
| A64253 | What a fondnesse was it for Felix to put off the matter of Religion, having Paul before him, till another time? |
| A64253 | What a gaine is it never to sin more against God, yea to be wholly out of danger of sinning? |
| A64253 | What a madnesse is it, to riot out the time which is not ours to dispose, but in the hands of God? |
| A64253 | What a number of enemies besiege us, and watch for our security? |
| A64253 | What an headlong fall had we all in Adam, when not content with his estate he would be liker God thē he was? |
| A64253 | What an unmovable foundation of godly Contentment is this? |
| A64253 | What are you, our Governours Commissioners, but sent to see to the keeping of our rankes and order in this battell? |
| A64253 | What can be wanting to him that enjoyes God a Father in Iesus Christ? |
| A64253 | What doe we souldiers dreame of ease and delicacy? |
| A64253 | What good use in warre can be made of a drunken and intemperate souldier? |
| A64253 | What have Priests to doe to bee Popes, heads of the Church, warriers, and welders of the two swords? |
| A64253 | What have the Iesuites to do, to medle with all State- matters in Christendome, to dispose and transplant Kingdomes? |
| A64253 | What hurt hath God or Christ done to the world, to be so hated? |
| A64253 | What offences can be more hainous, or enormities more capitall, then these bloody scarlet sinnes? |
| A64253 | What shall we say of the Vsurer, who hath found too easie a trade to bee good and lawfull? |
| A64253 | What stand we upon sweat and paines, who are called to hazzard our blood? |
| A64253 | What waste of time, thoughts, and means, in pride, gaming, and the like? |
| A64253 | What, to fight for sinne? |
| A64253 | What, will we part with blood, and not with sweat? |
| A64253 | Where can a man goe, but he enjoyes the creatures of God, the Sunne, the ayre, meate drinke, or the like helpes of nature, or of grace? |
| A64253 | Where may he not observe these benefits, to provoke himselfe to thankfulnesse? |
| A64253 | Wherefore is the living 〈 ◊ 〉 sorrowfull? |
| A64253 | Wherein stands the price of time? |
| A64253 | Whether hath grace seasoned my young yeares, that if I should be taken away young, I should be fit for God? |
| A64253 | Whether have I sowed to the flesh, or to the spirit? |
| A64253 | Who is it, that hath not something to shew of his deceased Parents? |
| A64253 | Who slew Abel, but his own brother? |
| A64253 | Why doest thou that art young, account thy life more precious then an old mans? |
| A64253 | Why should any be a Minister of peace with Iacobs voice, and a man of warre, or a rough- handed hunter, as Esau was? |
| A64253 | Why should good friends be set at variance? |
| A64253 | Why should we be heavy to be led out after him? |
| A64253 | Why should we entangle ourselves with other mens affaires, as Peter, Master what shall this man doe? |
| A64253 | Why then should not I content my selfe, and leane on the word in the hopefull expectation of that blessed end of my trouble? |
| A64253 | Why then should we be inordinate in our care for the world? |
| A64253 | Why? |
| A64253 | Will God take my part, and give me victory? |
| A64253 | With what sweat and labour are those high thoughts, that are erected against god, brought under? |
| A64253 | Would I fall out with my daily bread, and are not these as necessary? |
| A64253 | Yea, and more, doth he further my glory with himselfe? |
| A64253 | a Christian, and a Preacher too, and not for Christ? |
| A64253 | and also in means? |
| A64253 | and because I am chosen out of the world? |
| A64253 | and is not ours become adebt unto him whensoever he pleases to call for it, and sanctified by his? |
| A64253 | and shal not I his childe be Content, but rise up against it? |
| A64253 | and to be an ensample to them, in making a good account of both? |
| A64253 | and to whom is the arme of the Lord revealed? |
| A64253 | and when I have done, will it be a good answer to say, I did but as other youth did? |
| A64253 | and, though the evill spirit goe from Saul at the Musicke which David makes, yet soone afterward he returns again, and torments him as much as ever? |
| A64253 | but withall how dreadfull and unhappy? |
| A64253 | canst thou pray? |
| A64253 | did he know that ever the same opportunities would bee offered? |
| A64253 | did hee never love any of the Saints, nor his deare Sonne, of all whom none escaped many troubles? |
| A64253 | doe not I see my mortality in many of mine owne degree? |
| A64253 | doth he exercise and hold in worke, and so increase and strengthen his grace given, by the same meanes? |
| A64253 | doth he testifie his love, and lay in me the markes of my Adoption, of my way to heaven, and of conformity to his Sonne? |
| A64253 | doth the Lord know and intend to beautifie, purge, and perfect his graces by the fire of Tribulation, and make them shine and shew as jewels? |
| A64253 | for eternall, and not for temporary life? |
| A64253 | hast thou bowels of love in thee, and compassion in thy heart? |
| A64253 | hast thou commended his comfort unto God, whom thou wouldest, but canst not comfort? |
| A64253 | hath he promised, and will hee accomplish that promise of glory to such as are troubled? |
| A64253 | his only daughter defloured, one sonne banished, another an adulterer, another incestuous, another; yea, sundry of them murtherers? |
| A64253 | how is the time insensibly stollen away? |
| A64253 | how many fervent prayers might bee stored up in heaven, if men would stirre up their desires hereto? |
| A64253 | how plentifull in good works? |
| A64253 | if he can say with Polycarpe the Martyr, fourescore and six yeares have I served Christ? |
| A64253 | is it because thou art in thy strength and vigour, which in him is past? |
| A64253 | is it not, that thou shouldest exceed them as farre in piety and grace, as thou doest in yeares? |
| A64253 | is the Disciple above his Lord? |
| A64253 | is the cause such, because I run not the wayes of the world? |
| A64253 | or can you fill a Chest with graces and vertues? |
| A64253 | or else true Christians? |
| A64253 | rebuked Baruch Doest thou seek great things for thy selfe? |
| A64253 | see I not youth to be as uncertaine as age? |
| A64253 | shall I beleeve him for salvation, and not for preservation? |
| A64253 | shall I cast off, or impatiently cary such light Afflictions, which cause so great a weight of glory? |
| A64253 | shall I measure Gods love by my outward estate? |
| A64253 | shall not I contentedly partake in the sufferings of Christ? |
| A64253 | should I be weake as another man? |
| A64253 | that hence laboureth to make God his portion, before himselfe have no more portion of all things done under the Sun? |
| A64253 | they that can not runne with a footman, how can they thinke to keepe company with an Horseman? |
| A64253 | was this the Covenant I entred into in Baptisme? |
| A64253 | what care I, if the sonnes of men turne my glory into shame? |
| A64253 | what necessity? |
| A64253 | what need I care to be rejected of bad men? |
| A64253 | where is the living man, that layeth this to heart? |
| A64253 | wherein is seene, that men beget children in their owne image, in corrupt nature, not according to grace, and that every good childe is of God? |
| A64253 | who mocked Noah, but his own son Cham? |
| A64253 | who sold Ioseph,& hated him, but his brethren? |
| A64253 | who unjustly blamed our Lord Iesus Christ, but his brethren& kindred according to the flesh? |
| A64253 | yea, is it overcome already? |
| A64253 | yea, the flower of youth to be but as the flower of the field? |
| A64253 | young men and maides cut off in their vigour and beauty? |
| A64253 | 〈 ◊ 〉 he give his Christ, how will he not with him give all things also? |
| A13542 | & c. Should not new creatures draw neere and follow this Sun to prosper it it? |
| A13542 | & c.] Not, what is Adam, which were no great matter of pride: but what is Enosh? |
| A13542 | 1 Doe I see a man can not see light without light? |
| A13542 | 1 Doe I see the light, the nature of which no man can perfectly attaine? |
| A13542 | 1 Doe I see the raine fall from the clouds to water the earth, and returneth not in vaine? |
| A13542 | 1. Who is it, who calmeth the sea by his power, and by his understanding smiteth the pride of it? |
| A13542 | 10, 11. and keepeth it from flowing over the earth? |
| A13542 | 12 1. that is, things earthly and mutable: shall not the Sunne- shine darken the Moone? |
| A13542 | 17. and what a dignity and honor is this to be Gods children, Kings children? |
| A13542 | 26. Who is this to whom windes and seas obey? |
| A13542 | 28. that is, besides the Lord? |
| A13542 | 3 Doe I see the light made so pure, faire, cleare, and perfect, as nothing can pollute it? |
| A13542 | 4 Doe I see the Sun set every day, and rise every day? |
| A13542 | 4 Doth the Sun make and preserve the seasons of the yeare, Summer, Winter, Spring, Autumne? |
| A13542 | 5, What comfort have we by the sunne; and shall we not have the same in Christ? |
| A13542 | 6 Was I darkenesse? |
| A13542 | 7 How can I behold so noble a creature without some use concerning my selfe? |
| A13542 | And doe not many walke in the fruitlesse workes of darkenesse? |
| A13542 | And knowest thou not that Christ is in thee, except thou be a reprobate? |
| A13542 | And must not the Saints imitate this their Son, though they live amongst sinners, and see much foule behaviour amongst men? |
| A13542 | And seeing all this goodly frame shall be dissolved, What manner of men ought we to be in all manner of conversation? |
| A13542 | And shall not my desires bee there? |
| A13542 | And what else is the cause that many are so fruitlesse and barren in their course, and such wasters of precious time? |
| A13542 | And what hast thou which thou hast not received? |
| A13542 | And who seeth the clogge of earth pressing downe his soule, and needeth not this pulley to fetch it up againe? |
| A13542 | And why conceive not we hence their nature? |
| A13542 | And, who is sensible of legions of noysome lusts, that take up the heart as their proper habitation, and desireth not better guests? |
| A13542 | Are his commandements grievous? |
| A13542 | Are not all worldly things of as round a figure as the moone, unstable and unconstant? |
| A13542 | Art not thou as a tree planted by the rivers of waters, in Gods garden and orchard of grace? |
| A13542 | Art thou in a meane condition, a poore creature, despised, and cast off of men? |
| A13542 | Art thou poore, and in want of necessaries, and hast scarce from hand to mouth to provide foode and rayment? |
| A13542 | Aske the beasts, and they will tell thee, sinne is an intolerable burthen; and takest thou pleasure in sinne? |
| A13542 | Balaams Asse will shun and not goe forward against a drawn sword; and shall we against the sword of the Lords hand drawne out against sinne? |
| A13542 | But Christ is in heaven, how can we bee in him, and not be there? |
| A13542 | But Christ is in us, how can we then be in Christ? |
| A13542 | But art thou led by the spirit, or mis- led by the flesh and doctrine of carnall libertie? |
| A13542 | But canst thou find it in any measure or degree? |
| A13542 | But doe we so? |
| A13542 | But hast thou not now made a good plea? |
| A13542 | But how can I seeke a being in grace, having no being in it? |
| A13542 | But how can I, having no grace, seeke after grace in the meanes? |
| A13542 | But how may I know this, namely, that I am in Christ? |
| A13542 | But though wee have a superiour doctrine and helpe in the Church, must we therefore refuse this? |
| A13542 | But why doth the Prophet here not mention the Sun, but the Moone and Starres? |
| A13542 | But why is hee called a new Creature? |
| A13542 | Canst thou abide to crucifie the flesh and lusts of it? |
| A13542 | Canst thou run on in sin without remorse, without returning, without care of repentance, or feare of Gods justice? |
| A13542 | Canst thou tell how the bottles of heaven are filled? |
| A13542 | Consider? |
| A13542 | Did not the Philosophers discourse of God, Iustice, Vertue, the chiefe good, all moralitie, all civill and oeconomicall duties? |
| A13542 | Doe I see light driving away darkenesse; distinguishing things that were involued in darknesse; producing things out of darkenesse and secrecy? |
| A13542 | Doe I see the light alway like it selfe, never communicating with darkenesse, but fighting against darkenesse, and irreconcilably resisting it? |
| A13542 | Doe I see the raine- bow in the clouds? |
| A13542 | Doe all creatures rejoyce in the Sun, but hatefull Bats and Owles? |
| A13542 | Doe we so? |
| A13542 | Doe we walke so? |
| A13542 | Doe wee so? |
| A13542 | Dost thou desire the sincere milke, the Mannah? |
| A13542 | Dost thou finde not the words of prayer which any hypocrite may, but the spirit of prayer? |
| A13542 | Dost thou grow in stature, and strength, outgrowing the weakenesse and infancy of grace, passing the severall ages of Christianity? |
| A13542 | Dost thou move in the manly actions of grace? |
| A13542 | Doth his truth uphold the great frame of the heavens, and will hee not uphold thee? |
| A13542 | Doth not this carry my mind to God himselfe, that eternall and infinite light, whose infinite nature none could ever comprehend? |
| A13542 | Doth the sun by his beames give direction for this naturall life? |
| A13542 | Doth the sun drive away the darkenesse of the night? |
| A13542 | Fifthly, canst thou beare burthens, afflictions, from God, without murmuring? |
| A13542 | Fifthly, what a power is put forth in ordering the severall wils of the severall creatures? |
| A13542 | Findest thou a spirit in thee prevailing against fleshly thoughts, carnall affections, desires, conversation? |
| A13542 | First, hast thou disclaimed thy owne righteousnesse, and given thy selfe wholly unto him? |
| A13542 | For humiliation: For who knoweth the nature of the wind, the place of the winde, the way of the winde? |
| A13542 | For if they shall sigh under our burthens, shall not we our selves? |
| A13542 | For instruction: shall so fierce a creature bee at a becke, and shall not I? |
| A13542 | For, First, how weake an account can wee give unto God( as we must) of all the good lessons we have heard, and ought to have remembred? |
| A13542 | For, what is Paul, what is Apollos, if God give not the increase? |
| A13542 | Fourthly, What a power is discovered in upholding the creatures in their kinde? |
| A13542 | Fourthly, constantly: A member is never weary of obeying the head; but how fickle and inconstant art thou in the wayes of God? |
| A13542 | God loveth us better than all them, whom hee made their Lords; and should not wee love him better than all creatures? |
| A13542 | God saveth no man, because he is his creature; for who is not? |
| A13542 | Gods grace raiseth dead men in sinnes: can any but the almighty power do this? |
| A13542 | Hast thou denied thy selfe? |
| A13542 | Hast thou this note of Christ his being in thee, that thou sinnest not, who canst deliberate, and purpose, and willingly venture on sinne? |
| A13542 | Hast thou this spirit of direction and counsell, teaching thee, and leading thee into duty? |
| A13542 | Hath not hee furnished us with reason and discourse to draw out some straines of that excellent wisedome by them, and from them? |
| A13542 | Hath not hee warmed thy heart with his Sunne of grace? |
| A13542 | Hath not the Lord in wisedome made them all? |
| A13542 | Have wee beene set to this Schoole ever since wee were of yeares of discretion, and have taken out no lessons of wisedom, out of this great Booke? |
| A13542 | How can a branch set into such a roote, but bee fruitfull? |
| A13542 | How did Christ walke, that we may walke so? |
| A13542 | How doe wee so, who spend so much time in unfruitfull courses, wherein wee doe no man good, but our selves and others much harme? |
| A13542 | How great is himselfe that thus stretcheth the heavens with his span? |
| A13542 | How is the member subject unto the head? |
| A13542 | How many Meditations may one draw hence? |
| A13542 | How may I know this? |
| A13542 | How ought we to study for purity and holinesse, to fit our selves for what God hath prepared for us? |
| A13542 | How plaine is it now, that thou art not in Christ, who wilt not affoord his Word a resting place in thy soule? |
| A13542 | How richly might wee furnish our mindes with matter of fruitfull meditations, should wee thus looke on the heavens? |
| A13542 | How shall we so doe? |
| A13542 | How the windowes of Heaven be open to raine downe fatnesse and plenty? |
| A13542 | How? |
| A13542 | I can resist it, but how can I helpe it forward? |
| A13542 | If it be resisted, how is it almighty? |
| A13542 | If naturall life be so precious and desireable, what is spirituall and eternall? |
| A13542 | In him are all the promises, Yea and Amen: but to whom? |
| A13542 | Is creation to bee ascribed to any power, which is not almighty? |
| A13542 | Is his power almighty? |
| A13542 | Is it grievous unto a member to obey the head, into which it is set? |
| A13542 | Is the sun under God, the life, quickner, and comforter of the world, otherwise dead? |
| A13542 | Is this so happie a condition to bee in Christ? |
| A13542 | Is this to be like God? |
| A13542 | It is a place from whence I expect a Saviour, and shall not my conversation be there where Christ is? |
| A13542 | It lifteth us to an unutterable glorious estate in heaven: must not this be the working of an almighty power? |
| A13542 | It rescueth us from the strong man, that keepeth hold till a stronger come: and must it not bee an almighty power that must doe this? |
| A13542 | Looke I upon a Vine? |
| A13542 | Lord what is man? |
| A13542 | Must no doctrine of conviction bee heard in the Church? |
| A13542 | Must not wee know God in his workes, because the Heathens did? |
| A13542 | Notes, typically marginal, from the original text Notes for div A13542-e130 To be in Christ as a member how? |
| A13542 | Now aske thy selfe, Is Christs yoake irkesome and tedious? |
| A13542 | Now what a distance is betweene life and death; especially, life to grace, and death in sin? |
| A13542 | Now what is thy aime in thy subjection? |
| A13542 | Now, shall the senselesse creatures have eares to heare their Creator, and man be deafe? |
| A13542 | Oh what a comfortable change is here? |
| A13542 | Oh what joy bringeth it to the soule, when God sheweth himselfe lightsome to it? |
| A13542 | Oh where is the thankefull returne of fruits of grace, which I should bring unto God for his cost, and manuring of mee? |
| A13542 | Oh wretched man,& c. who shall deliver me? |
| A13542 | Or a new creature without the spirit, which lusteth and subdueth the rising of the flesh? |
| A13542 | Or shall wee still looke upon these things as on faire papers that have no letters? |
| A13542 | Secondly, a new birth? |
| A13542 | Secondly, universally, it doth all that the head enjoyneth: Art thou subject in some commandements, but not in others? |
| A13542 | See I a Palme Tree? |
| A13542 | See we not the earth hiding the wealth of it within the bowels, all the rich mettals, minerals, and costly stones? |
| A13542 | See wee men in the Sun doe decent things? |
| A13542 | Seemeth it a small thing, saith David, to be sonne in law to a King? |
| A13542 | Seest thou not the beasts wanting reason, saving themselves from danger, as they may? |
| A13542 | Seventhly, how mightily did Gods power manifest it selfe in over- comming all difficulties in that creation? |
| A13542 | Shall Philosophers, Physicians, Naturalists, and Heathens learne many good lessons from them? |
| A13542 | Shall earthly fathers beget creatures like unto themselves, and will our heavenly father beget children to another similitude, than his owne? |
| A13542 | Shall every creature, of which I am Lord, yeeld me fruit; my cattell, my trees, my ground? |
| A13542 | Shall his Word binde them, and not us reasonable creatures to whom it is given? |
| A13542 | Should not this teach Christians to walke in their sunne? |
| A13542 | So what is that wee can doe, that can be acceptable without Christ? |
| A13542 | Takest thou up the Crosse daily? |
| A13542 | Tell me( saith God) if thou knowest this; Where is the way where light dwelleth? |
| A13542 | The fourth point: why must a man be a new creature? |
| A13542 | The moone and stars are not pure in his sight, how much lesse man, a worme? |
| A13542 | The most gracelesse men in the world, yea the devils are subject unto Christ as a Lord: but art thou subject as a member unto such a head? |
| A13542 | The providence of God, who cloatheth the grasse, and decketh the earth: and will hee not much more them that feare him? |
| A13542 | The second question is, How commeth a man to bee in Christ? |
| A13542 | The third point is, How may a man become a new Creature? |
| A13542 | The varietie of them, the wondrous workes of him that is perfect in knowledge? |
| A13542 | Thinkest thou that so living a roote can admit such dead branches? |
| A13542 | Thirdly, hee referred every thing unto his Fathers glory: hee never sought his owne praise and reputation, but avoyded it: Doe we so? |
| A13542 | Thirdly, study to increase it; Oh how rich might wee be in grace, if our hearts were more large in faith? |
| A13542 | Thirdly, what a power discovered it selfe in the change of that confusion, in such rankes or orders of the creatures? |
| A13542 | Thirdly, what strangers are many of us to the Scripture, and grounds of Religion? |
| A13542 | This is a difficult marke: But how shall I know the Spirit of Christ to be in mee? |
| A13542 | Thou hast in him satisfied, and in him fulfilled al righteousnesse: for who payeth the wives debt, but the husband? |
| A13542 | To conclude all: hast thou felt the power of the Word and Spirit renewing thy soule? |
| A13542 | Was he ever in Gods worke? |
| A13542 | Wee will conclude the Treatise with the words of Iob; Behold these are a part of his waies, but how little a portion heare we of him? |
| A13542 | What Creature could resist the being and forming of it selfe? |
| A13542 | What a number of gracious meditations doe the heavens affoord a heart that doth desire to be fruitfull? |
| A13542 | What can a man doe commendably without the Sunne? |
| A13542 | What have wee which we have not received? |
| A13542 | What man dare goe to God for such workes to have them rewarded? |
| A13542 | What particular can I behold, and not gather some spirituall fruit? |
| A13542 | When I see a Christian stand as an image in the Church, without the powerfull motion of godlinesse; can I thinke him a new Creature? |
| A13542 | When or where see we any thing reformed by the power of the Word? |
| A13542 | Where doe spices send forth their odoriferous smels, but in the mortar under the pestle? |
| A13542 | Where should fortitude demonstrate it selfe, but in the field and combate? |
| A13542 | Wherefore else did the Lord create them? |
| A13542 | Wherefore hath his wisedome afforded such variety and plenty of them? |
| A13542 | Who art thou that canst resist the Spirit in man? |
| A13542 | Who art thou then that professest thy selfe a sonne of God, and in thy life resemblest the image of Sathan, sin, and unrighteousnesse? |
| A13542 | Who can discerne the darkenesse of his minde, and not open his windowes, and hereby let in some light into his darke house? |
| A13542 | Who dare say he seeketh to glorifie God in casting off his calling, and spending dayes and nights in idlenes, or worse? |
| A13542 | Who ever saw a dead man either helpe or hinder his owne quickning? |
| A13542 | Who is acquainted with the worke of grace in himselfe, and hath not woundred after how unspeakeable a manner this winde hath blowne upon him? |
| A13542 | Who would looke for these new Creatures in Tavernes, Play- houses, Ale- houses, places of riotous meeting, and hellish resort? |
| A13542 | Why art thou a Christian, and no new Creature? |
| A13542 | Why should not this light awaken my soule, and raise mee from the sleepe of sin and lusts? |
| A13542 | Why, how great? |
| A13542 | Why? |
| A13542 | [ Are not we better than they?] |
| A13542 | [ Hath the LORD determined, who shall frustrate it?] |
| A13542 | a spirit quickning to all that is good? |
| A13542 | and by the light of my conversation be comforting, directing, and shining to others in good workes? |
| A13542 | and can I know God without Gods teaching? |
| A13542 | and doth not Christ the thicke mists of sinnes, the darkenesse of ignorance, errour, wrath, damnation, and of hell it selfe? |
| A13542 | and rise by it to his Divinity, who( as light) so communicateth himselfe, that no man the lesse, because another more? |
| A13542 | and shall my love bee fruitlesse unto my Lord? |
| A13542 | and the sonne of man that thou visitest him? |
| A13542 | and watered thy soyle with fruitfull showers? |
| A13542 | and who can understand his fearefull power? |
| A13542 | ashamed of things unseemely or unlawfull, because all eyes are on them, and themselves are in the light? |
| A13542 | but not able to reade a word? |
| A13542 | canst thou digest strong meate? |
| A13542 | canst thou turne head against the wayes of God and good men desperately, as if thy conscience were turned into a rotten post? |
| A13542 | doe not many sit up whole nights to play? |
| A13542 | doe they follow the Sun, thrive and prosper in the sunne, turne after the sun, as Mari- gold, Dazy, Turnesole? |
| A13542 | doe they testifie to Christ that hee is the Sonne of God, and shall not I heare his Word, and acknowledge him my Lord and my God? |
| A13542 | doe wee continue in prayer? |
| A13542 | doe wee sanctifie every ordinance with prayer? |
| A13542 | dost thou thrive, and grow by it? |
| A13542 | even to the heires of promise: and who be they? |
| A13542 | findest thou a spirit, framing thoughts, speeches, actions to the conformitie of the Word? |
| A13542 | how can I choose but gather what light and comfort is in himselfe, who hath put so much in the creature? |
| A13542 | how doth a member neglect it selfe for the head? |
| A13542 | how they being of infinite weight and magnitude, are hung as in a ballance in the soft aire, without any other, stay than his Word? |
| A13542 | is it not all one to say, thou art no new Creature, who hast nothing but nature in thee? |
| A13542 | is it thy owne name, reputation, thy wealth, or ease, or any base respect? |
| A13542 | must a Christian bee therefore locked up from them? |
| A13542 | or as illitterated men looke upon written papers? |
| A13542 | or can the surpassing holinesse of Christ the head, receive into it such rotten and gangrenous members? |
| A13542 | or if he should, should we ever carry the name of new creatures? |
| A13542 | our sore eyes can not abide so cleare a light: And what communion can there bee betweene light and darkenesse? |
| A13542 | shall we goe on in sinne, which is so burthensome and dangerous? |
| A13542 | shall wee bee more senselesse of our misery, than they bee of it? |
| A13542 | should not I hate and tremble at sinne? |
| A13542 | should not his glorious light be the sweetest object of the eye of my soule? |
| A13542 | that professest the second Adam, but bearest the image of the first? |
| A13542 | to some worke of Repentance, or of Charity, or of Mercy, or Iustice? |
| A13542 | walkest thou diligently in the calling of a Christian, abroad and at home? |
| A13542 | what am I, or what is my fathers house, to be sonne to a King? |
| A13542 | what power is there that bindes the waters in the thicke clouds, so that the cloud breaketh not? |
| A13542 | when did our Lord walke so, that we might doe so also? |
| A13542 | when would they sit up so to prayer? |
| A13542 | who can but here admire at the majesty of the Creatour? |
| A13542 | who measureth the face of the waters with a compasse? |
| A13542 | would we have God doe so by us? |
| A13542 | wrong from men without revenge? |
| A13542 | yet dost thou know how God disposeth them? |
| A64249 | 1, and 5. what can a dead man doe but rot? |
| A64249 | 1. he slept, but the King shall not sleep till he have advanced Mordecai? |
| A64249 | 16? |
| A64249 | 17 Quid regium vides? |
| A64249 | 2. and so the Jaylor, What shall I doe to be saved? |
| A64249 | 37. when they were pricked in their hearts, they said to Peter and the rest, Men and brethren, what shall we doe? |
| A64249 | 4. Who can bring a cleane thing out of filthinesse? |
| A64249 | 6? |
| A64249 | 7? |
| A64249 | 9. what shall we do for the hundreth talents? |
| A64249 | ? |
| A64249 | A singular comfort Is Christ the ture Joseph our brother? |
| A64249 | Alas what shall they eat or drinke? |
| A64249 | Alas, how afraid are many of this Plate, for spoiling of their preferment? |
| A64249 | And can the Lord Jesus endure any wrongs and cruelties done to his members, and this not pierce his bowels? |
| A64249 | And how justly were we stung to death by the old Serpent for it? |
| A64249 | And if he please to reserve love for us while we are yet in our sinnes, and in love with them; how sweet will his love be, when we cease to love them? |
| A64249 | And if there be none in him; how come we his posterity to more possibility to merit any thing but death, more than he? |
| A64249 | And if there be so much comfort in weak faith, how much is there in strong? |
| A64249 | And is it not reason we should have Mediators? |
| A64249 | And many s ● orne others that their bells sound so often? |
| A64249 | And should not great love be a great load- stone of love? |
| A64249 | And whilest we were in a dead sleep, how carefully did he provide this heavenly Manna, and spread it about the tents of the Church in all ages? |
| A64249 | And who can deny but the corruption and poison of the soule and spirit, is farre more poisonfull and mortall than poison of the flesh? |
| A64249 | Art thou an enemie to Jesus, an hinderer of any of his people in their way to Canaan? |
| A64249 | Art thou but a door- keeper in Gods house? |
| A64249 | Art thou in a deep danger or sorrow like the bottome of the sea? |
| A64249 | Art thou ready to faint in thy soul for want of grace and comfort, art thou ready to sink in sorrows, feares, faintings, wants, dangers? |
| A64249 | But did not he take the same infirmities comming of Adam as they did? |
| A64249 | But how could he be so pure comming of Adam as they did? |
| A64249 | But how doth faith save us? |
| A64249 | But how may I know that Christ accounts me clean? |
| A64249 | But what ends or reasons were there of this prohibition of meats? |
| A64249 | But why did the Lord cause the Manna daily to putrifie, if kept? |
| A64249 | Can a barren wildernesse afford any food, or( if any) for so many hundred thousand men? |
| A64249 | Can a woman forget her childe, and not have compassion on the sonne of her womb? |
| A64249 | Can any man save a man from drowning by casting him into the Sea? |
| A64249 | Can or will a living and powerful head be always dismembred and sundered from the body? |
| A64249 | Coming to Moses, wherein doe they imploy them? |
| A64249 | Could a Serpent of brasse, a shape onely more heal than hurt them? |
| A64249 | Could a dead Serpent prevail against so many living and fiery Serpents? |
| A64249 | Doe the enemies come out against us as strong as pillars, as furious and fiery as fire it self? |
| A64249 | Dost thou thirst for pardon of sin, for grace of sanctification, for sence of Gods love, for assurance of eternal life? |
| A64249 | Doth Christ undertake thy sinne, he sees not heaven till he die for it? |
| A64249 | Findest thou emptinesse or want of grace? |
| A64249 | For a signet, because it is most precious, is most carefully kept; and being upon the arme of Christ, what arme can pull us off from him? |
| A64249 | For can a tender father see an arme or a legge of his first- born cut off? |
| A64249 | For further than Christ was found and seen in it, it was then but as an empty shell without a kernell: and how much more now? |
| A64249 | For if the shadow of this precious bloud must be so preserved, so carefully saved in a costly vessel: how much more ought the bloud it self? |
| A64249 | For what had the Israelites deliverance, victory, lives been worth in the wildernesse without food and Manna, which kept them in life and strength? |
| A64249 | For what have they to doe with the seales, that are excluded the writing? |
| A64249 | For what is amiable in the wilde olive? |
| A64249 | For what more Brotherly league than of Christ to Moses, of Grace to the Law, and of the New Testament to the Old? |
| A64249 | For whence is bodily leprosie, but from leprosie of the soule? |
| A64249 | For why should a Jew be more carefull in the shadow and ceremony, than a Christian in the truth and substance? |
| A64249 | For why should every rude fellow thrust into the Kings presence, and not first make way by some of his Court? |
| A64249 | For, 1. Who are they to us? |
| A64249 | For, doth he not cast us off when we are enemies, and deserve hatred, and will he ever cast off those whom he thus loveth? |
| A64249 | God promiseth the good land; but how should they get thorow Iordan, seeing there is no other way? |
| A64249 | Had Abraham ever sacrificed his son, had he consulted with reason? |
| A64249 | Hast thou an high place in Gods house as Moses? |
| A64249 | Hast thou come to Jesus Christ with sorow in thy heart, with teares in thy eyes, with lamentable groans and complaints of thy misery by sin? |
| A64249 | Hast thou received any talent? |
| A64249 | Hath Christ been made known to thee, that thou hast tasted the sweetnesse of him in the Gospel? |
| A64249 | Hath God continued mercy, that thou shouldst continue sinne? |
| A64249 | Hath God multiplied blessing on thy head, that thou shouldest blesse thy self in wickednesse? |
| A64249 | Hath God promised thee daily bread, help in affliction, refreshing in wearinesse, remission in sense of sinne, a blessed issue in every triall? |
| A64249 | Hath he promised thee the heavenly Canaan? |
| A64249 | His enemies asked, whence hath he all this great learning? |
| A64249 | How at one blow cut they off all paines in getting assurance, holding or increasing of faith? |
| A64249 | How blind then must they needs be in spiritual things, that are blind in things natural? |
| A64249 | How can foule fornicators and adulterers think that their praiers can, get into heaven, and themselves shut out? |
| A64249 | How can he attend to reading, meditation, to exhortation or doctrine? |
| A64249 | How can he but be disturbed from ardency of prayer? |
| A64249 | How can such a mans course but wage open warre with holy doctrine? |
| A64249 | How can the Egyptians hope to stand before Israel, to whom the waters give way so strangely? |
| A64249 | How can the eye look off the signet on the arme? |
| A64249 | How comes it that we do not hear drunkards, adulterers, theeves, swearers, blasphemers, so rated and disgraced as them? |
| A64249 | How could Abraham have believed the promise of a son by Sarah, had he looked to natural reason? |
| A64249 | How could they think, that such corruptible food could preserve them, that it self could not be preserved above a few houres but by Gods institution? |
| A64249 | How did it watch over Abraham and all his believing posterity; whilest he and we were all in the night of sin and death? |
| A64249 | How did the Lord watch over Jonah while he slept under hatches, not dreaming of so present a danger? |
| A64249 | How did the creatures become uncleane, which God had made good? |
| A64249 | How doth the Scriptures teach us to purge this leaven out of all corners? |
| A64249 | How easily can he repaire all things out of any thing, who can fetch and frame all things out of nothing? |
| A64249 | How inconceivable is this to humane reason, which perhaps would count it foolish and ridiculous? |
| A64249 | How is it possible to forget that which is sealed on the heart? |
| A64249 | How is it then that many come into the Congregation and never bring bells? |
| A64249 | How lightly did we in our first parents regard that upheaped measure of bounty and grace conferred by God in our Creation and innocency? |
| A64249 | How many of much hope, by the immoderate desires and use of these outward things, have besotted themselves? |
| A64249 | How may I cleanse my heart? |
| A64249 | How may I doe to get mastery of my corruptions? |
| A64249 | How may I know if I apply Christ crucified to my self? |
| A64249 | How may I know that the bloud of Christ hath touched and purged me? |
| A64249 | How may I prize the bloud of Christ? |
| A64249 | How may a man prophane this bloud? |
| A64249 | How may we follow this Pillar? |
| A64249 | How may we purge out this leaven? |
| A64249 | How miserable was the sentence of that guest, that sate down at the Kings table without his wedding garment? |
| A64249 | How pitifully can men& women grieve for the death of their first- born? |
| A64249 | How pleaseth it nature to offer release from sin, from hell, from p ● rgatory for money? |
| A64249 | How shall I know Gods measure for me? |
| A64249 | How shall we honour Christ as the first- born? |
| A64249 | How should he be a light to others that himselfe is in darknesse? |
| A64249 | How strong will it be, and how constant? |
| A64249 | How was he then a Lamb slaine from the beginning of the World, before the Jewes were in being? |
| A64249 | How was the Holy Ghost deceived, yea, and holy men, who have studied in Gods Law night and day? |
| A64249 | How were they Gods? |
| A64249 | How? |
| A64249 | How? |
| A64249 | Humane reason will never pray, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A64249 | I am cast away out of thy sight: So the other cries upon the Crosse, My God my God why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A64249 | If the Priest must not weep, how could they seriously repent of their sins? |
| A64249 | If the shadows of these holy things might not be cast to dogs: is it nothing to expose to them the body and substance it self? |
| A64249 | If they be pure as the Sunne, faire as the Moone, what is he? |
| A64249 | If they shall cry out, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A64249 | In bodily famine how farre will men run and ride for Corn? |
| A64249 | In what disposition stands darknesse to entertain light, which fights against it? |
| A64249 | In which, what else did they but shadow our Saviour Christ? |
| A64249 | Is Christ the Pillar? |
| A64249 | Is Christ the true Ioshua? |
| A64249 | Is any thing impossible to God? |
| A64249 | Is it not reason that the more it pleaseth the Lord to become ours, the more we should become his? |
| A64249 | Is not a little leaven enough to soure a whole lump? |
| A64249 | Is not a little serpent a serpent; or a little poison poison? |
| A64249 | Is not he for us under God? |
| A64249 | Is the bloud of Christ so precious? |
| A64249 | Many are afraid least the sound of their bells should be heard too much, and that it would disgrace them to be counted diligent Preachers? |
| A64249 | Master to whom shall we goe? |
| A64249 | Might he not mourne for his wife? |
| A64249 | Nay the basest sort made mouthes and scorned them both: And are there not now such as would scorne out the truth of grace were it possible? |
| A64249 | Now if one sight of faith in this our absence from Christ be so joyful a thing: what shall the sight of fruition doe in his presence? |
| A64249 | Now what a joy is it to the beleeving soule to see God a father look towards it as a father to his first- born? |
| A64249 | Now what desert or merit could there be in the first Adam to be followed with grace in his flying from it? |
| A64249 | Now whether of us agree with Moses? |
| A64249 | Oh hell where is thy victory? |
| A64249 | Oh how rich in grace hadst thou been by knowing this season? |
| A64249 | Oh now what a sweet Sermon doth this one type contain of the whole sum and marrow of the Gospel? |
| A64249 | Oh sin where is thy sting? |
| A64249 | Oh who would deal thus with his enemy, but he that hath an Ocean of mercy? |
| A64249 | Or be idle in speech, wanton in behaviour, carelesse of his course, or company? |
| A64249 | Or how dare he( if he could) pray; How can he keep watch with God, or over his People, or over himselfe? |
| A64249 | Or what is it that strikes the body with such contagious sickness, but the infection and sicknesse of the soule? |
| A64249 | Or who say that God is in no such society where any pollution is? |
| A64249 | Ought not great benefits become great binders? |
| A64249 | Scornest thou this holy oyle in thy selfe or others? |
| A64249 | Secondly, for the whole doctrine and religion of Popery, how plausible is it to the natural man? |
| A64249 | Seeing all of us in this wildernesse are stung with the old Serpent, what are we to doe to be cured? |
| A64249 | Seeing there was so much businesse in legall cleansing of the least foulenesse; how carefull were the Jewes to avoid those foulnesse? |
| A64249 | Seemes it not good reason to choose, defend, and stick unto our forefathers religion? |
| A64249 | Shall Niniveh condemne Judea for not acknowledging a greater than Jonah; and shall it not condemne us not repenting? |
| A64249 | Shall any say, Is it not a little one? |
| A64249 | Should not strong cords of Gods love draw us strongly to love our God? |
| A64249 | So if an humble soul( suppose the Jaylor) shall come to the Minister as Paul or Silas; Sirs, what may I doe to be saved? |
| A64249 | Suppose thou haddest power above Joshua the type, art thou stronger than the true Joshua? |
| A64249 | That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not the man? |
| A64249 | The Hebrew could say, who made thee a judge? |
| A64249 | The Jew purged out all leaven, and spared none, not a morsell or a crum: And shall not a Christian count every sin a pollution, and hatefull to God? |
| A64249 | The Lords liberality in giving thee( not a sixth day, but) six whole dayes wherein to gather earthly Manna; and wilt thou encroach his day too? |
| A64249 | The spawne of a Serpent are Serpents; and what are we but the spawn, the seed of Adam? |
| A64249 | The theefe on the Crosse asking Christ to remember him in his kingdome, Augustine askes him: What Royalty doest thou see? |
| A64249 | Their glory was eclipsed in the captivity, and where be now any of Davids race according to the flesh? |
| A64249 | Then how dares a man that stands to judge between the Lord and his people, scandalize or scorn such as endeavour most to be clean? |
| A64249 | This is to be a Christian, to be anointed as Christ was? |
| A64249 | Thou art no drunkard, or great swearer, but art thou a companion of such not reproving them? |
| A64249 | Thy sinne repented of held Christ, an innocent, out of heaven till he died for it: but where shall ungodly and impenitent sinners appear? |
| A64249 | To move us to cease from our sinnes; for who would goe on to provoke so good a God, that still prevents us with love and mercy? |
| A64249 | To what end name I these follies, but by Popish and wicked superstition to condemn our heavinesse in Gods Commandements? |
| A64249 | Unbeleefe is full of repinings and murmurings: Oh how shall I be provided for, in this or that? |
| A64249 | V. Is Christ this Pillar of Cloud and Fire? |
| A64249 | Was not Festus a wise man, and a prudent Governour? |
| A64249 | Was the Sonne lesse faithfull? |
| A64249 | Was there any diference between this and other Clouds? |
| A64249 | Was there any sence or reason to be conceived in all this counsel and ordinance of God in healing thus his people? |
| A64249 | Was there now so great faith in Israel? |
| A64249 | Was there so much power in the bloud of the type; and not much more in the bloud of the truth? |
| A64249 | What a fearfull thing is it to come as most men do, not considering the Lords body? |
| A64249 | What a marvellous thing is it, that a Pillar of fire should sit upon the Tabernacle, and not burn it? |
| A64249 | What a strange thing, that a Pillar of fire must cool the Israelites, and save them from fire? |
| A64249 | What authority can an Oracle have in a drunken mans mouth, which can not but use to speake leud things? |
| A64249 | What can a Serpent cast out but poyson? |
| A64249 | What do they else than cast away the kernell to gnaw upon the shell, or as a mad man, who casts away the graine, and choakes himselfe with the husks? |
| A64249 | What easier faith than to believe as the Church doth, no matter what; without any knowledge or faith of their own? |
| A64249 | What garments must we put on? |
| A64249 | What had it been better, if all the congregation had taken part with a Leper, if the Priest pronounced him uncleane? |
| A64249 | What had it been to have passed the oppressours of Egypt, and to have been swallowed up of the sea? |
| A64249 | What hope hath he to be taught by the Spirit, that must give lawes to the Spirit of God? |
| A64249 | What if a man applaud and commend thee for an honest man, a good neighbour, a just man, if He judge thee a Leper? |
| A64249 | What if he had never so much power in teaching, if he were impotent in defending? |
| A64249 | What is gold, silver, silk, pearles; to righteousnesse, holynesse, life, immortality and glory? |
| A64249 | What kind of Cloud was this? |
| A64249 | What may I doe thus to receive the whole Lamb? |
| A64249 | What meanes? |
| A64249 | What means may we use for the attaining of water out of this Rock? |
| A64249 | What need we be at any paines to read, study, and meditate in the book of God night and day, as the Saints have done? |
| A64249 | What reason but they may serve a Customer upon the Sabbath, so they come to Church? |
| A64249 | What reason hath he to spare us? |
| A64249 | What reason he should be so strict, lesse reason they should be as strict as he? |
| A64249 | What seemed more diametrally or directly contrary to this promise, yet hindered not but furthered it? |
| A64249 | What was the use of this cloudy Pillar? |
| A64249 | What was this Preacher to ours? |
| A64249 | What were their meanes to ours? |
| A64249 | What will this babler fay? |
| A64249 | What wise man would drink a draught of poyson for the sweet taste of it? |
| A64249 | What wiser men in the world than the Philosophers and Stoicks of Athens? |
| A64249 | When did he revile, rebuke, hate? |
| A64249 | When do we receive whole Christ? |
| A64249 | When heardest thou this first- born brother to swear or lye? |
| A64249 | When the Israelite comes to Moses and asketh, Oh what shall I doe to be saved from death, being so deadly stung? |
| A64249 | When was he ashamed of thy cause, of thy Crosse, yea or curse? |
| A64249 | Whence are so many tumults? |
| A64249 | Whence issue these but from a wicked and impenitent heart? |
| A64249 | Where be they that will see no Church, if they see any uncleannesse? |
| A64249 | Where is our free will to good? |
| A64249 | Wherein he said, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A64249 | Wherein was this cloudy pillar a type of Christ? |
| A64249 | While he sits at the wine or strong drink, how can he sit at his study? |
| A64249 | Who can say, my faith is strong enough, which is ever imperfect in the best, who know but in part, and believe but in part? |
| A64249 | Who can stand before envy? |
| A64249 | Who is it that is not a Leper from the wombe? |
| A64249 | Who would not whore, swear, prophane the Sabbath, resist Magistracy, riot,& c. if for a little money he may have licence? |
| A64249 | Who would play with a deadly Serpent, or make a jest of his own death? |
| A64249 | Who would put Aqua vitae, or Balm water, in a fusty and stinking bottle? |
| A64249 | Why Serpents? |
| A64249 | Why are we unthankfull? |
| A64249 | Why called fiery Serpents? |
| A64249 | Why doe we stand in our own light, if the truth of the Deitie hath in this our age attained to maturity? |
| A64249 | Why doth the Lord thus? |
| A64249 | Why fiery? |
| A64249 | Why stinging Serpents? |
| A64249 | Why stinging? |
| A64249 | Why? |
| A64249 | Would a man know whether he have received of this spirit for his office? |
| A64249 | Would a man spread a table for dogs or swine? |
| A64249 | Would he be like us in every thing, even in our evils, sinne onely excepted? |
| A64249 | Would it not go to his heart to see him dismembred? |
| A64249 | Wouldest thou have God answer thee? |
| A64249 | Yea, his own words might seem to imply a sundering, when he saith; Why hast thou for saken me? |
| A64249 | and consequently what a prop and stay of our faith? |
| A64249 | and how much more should Christians be to avoid the morall? |
| A64249 | get ye hence; what have ye to do here? |
| A64249 | or cast darts and fire- brands about him to burn himself and others, and say, Am I not in sport? |
| A64249 | or drink up the poyson of a Serpent in merriment? |
| A64249 | or what a short ● et- wand is natural reason to measure divine things by? |
| A64249 | should not we be like him in grace, to be like him in glory? |
| A64249 | to make it a member of an harlot? |
| A64249 | what a goade and spurre to drive us to Jesus Christ, in whose name alone we can be saved? |
| A64249 | what a pregnant testimony and vaticinie is it alone of the death and passion of Jesus Christ, as also of the vertue and merit of the same? |
| A64249 | what dost thou but foam out thy own shame? |
| A64249 | what if thou seest armies of enemies, of discouragements? |
| A64249 | what may I doe to be rid of this Serpent, and of that, of this sin and of that? |
| A64249 | what may I doe to be saved? |
| A64249 | what questions move they to him? |
| A64249 | where should we lie if our Lord did not lift us up, and beare us up? |
| A64249 | whilst he slept so fast in the night, as scarce an Angel could waken him, and brought him through the sleepie watch? |
| A13529 | & 5, what can a dead man doe but rot? |
| A13529 | 1. he slept, but the King shall not sleepe till he have advanced Mordecai? |
| A13529 | 14? |
| A13529 | 15, Can a woman forget her child, and not have compassion on the sonne of her wombe? |
| A13529 | 16? |
| A13529 | 18, what will this babler say? |
| A13529 | 2. why fiery? |
| A13529 | 2: and so the Jaylor, What shall I do to be saved? |
| A13529 | 3. why stinging? |
| A13529 | 37, Is any thing impossible to God? |
| A13529 | 37, when they were pricked in their hearts, they said to Peter and the rest, Men and brethren, what shall we doe? |
| A13529 | 4. Who can bring a cleane thing out of filthinesse? |
| A13529 | 6? |
| A13529 | 7? |
| A13529 | 9. what shall we doe for the hundreth talents? |
| A13529 | Alas what shall they eate or drinke? |
| A13529 | Alas, how afraid are many of this Plate, for spoiling of their preferment? |
| A13529 | And can the Lord Jesus endure any wrongs and cruelties done to his members, and this not pierce his bowels? |
| A13529 | And how justly were we stung to death by the old serpent for it? |
| A13529 | And if there be none in him; how come wee his posterity to more possibility to merit any thing but death, more then he? |
| A13529 | And is it no reason we should have Mediators? |
| A13529 | And many scorne others that their bells sound so often? |
| A13529 | And should not great love bee a great loadstone of love? |
| A13529 | And whilest wee were in a dead sleepe, how carefully did hee provide this heavenly manna, and spread it about the tents of the Church in all ages? |
| A13529 | And who can deny but the corruption and poison of the soule and spirit, is farre more poison full and mortall then poison of the flesh? |
| A13529 | And, if there bee so much comfort in weake faith, how much is there in strong? |
| A13529 | Art thou an enemie to Jesus, an hindrer of any of his people in their way to Canaan? |
| A13529 | Art thou but a doore- keeper in Gods house? |
| A13529 | Art thou in a deepe danger or sorrow like the bottome of the sea? |
| A13529 | Art thou ready to faint in thy soule for want of grace and comfort, art thou ready to sinke in sorrows, feares, faintings, wants, dangers? |
| A13529 | But did not he take the same infirmities comming of Adam as they did? |
| A13529 | But how could he be so pure comming of Adam as they did? |
| A13529 | But how doth faith save us? |
| A13529 | But how may I know that Christ accounts mee cleane? |
| A13529 | But what ends or reasons were there of this prohibition of meates? |
| A13529 | But why did the Lord cause the Manna daily to putrifie, if kept? |
| A13529 | Can a barren wildernesse afford any food, or( if any) for so many hundred thousand men? |
| A13529 | Can any man save a man from drowning by casting him into the sea? |
| A13529 | Can or will a living and powerfull head be alwayes dismembred and sundred from the body? |
| A13529 | Comming to Moses, wherein do they imploy them? |
| A13529 | Could a Serpent of brasse, a shape only more heale then hurt them? |
| A13529 | Could a dead Serpent prevaile against so many living and fiery Serpents? |
| A13529 | Dost thou thirst for pardon of sinne, for grace of sanctification, for sence of Gods love, for assurance of eternall life? |
| A13529 | Doth Christ undertake thy sinne, he sees not heaven till he die for it? |
| A13529 | Findest thou emptinesse or want of grace? |
| A13529 | For 1. Who are they to us? |
| A13529 | For a signet, because it is most precious, is most carefully kept; and being upon the arm of Christ, what arme can pull us off from him? |
| A13529 | For can a tender father see an arme or a legge of his first borne cut off? |
| A13529 | For if the shadow of this precious blood must be so preserved, so carefully saved in a costly vessell: how much more ought the blood it selfe? |
| A13529 | For what had the Israelites deliverance, victory, lives been worth in the wildernesse without food and manna, which kept them in life and strength? |
| A13529 | For what is amiable in the wilde Olive? |
| A13529 | For what more brotherly league then of Christ to Moses, of grace to the Law, and of the new Testament to the Old? |
| A13529 | For whence is bodily leprosie, but from leprosie of the soule? |
| A13529 | For why should a Jew be more careful in the shadow and ceremony, then a Christian in the truth and substance? |
| A13529 | For why should every rude fellow thrust into the Kings presence, and not first make way by some of his Court? |
| A13529 | For, doth hee not cast us off when wee are enemies, and deserve hatred, and will hee ever cast off those whom he thus loveth? |
| A13529 | God promiseth the good land; but how should they get thorow Iordan, seeing there is no other way? |
| A13529 | Had Abraham ever sacrificed his sonne, had he consulted with reason? |
| A13529 | Hast thou an high place in Gods house as Moses? |
| A13529 | Hast thou come to Jesus Christ with sorow in thy heart, with teares in thy eyes, with lamentable groanes and complaints of thy misery by sinne? |
| A13529 | Hast thou received any talent? |
| A13529 | Hath Christ beene made knowne to thee, that thou hast tasted the sweetnesse of him in the Gospell? |
| A13529 | Hath God continued mercy that thou shouldest continue sinne? |
| A13529 | Hath God multiplied blessing on thy head that thou shouldest blesse thy selfe in wickednesse? |
| A13529 | Hath God promised thee daily bread, helpe in affliction, refreshing in wearinesse, remission in sense of sinne, a blessed issue in every triall? |
| A13529 | Hath hee promised thee the heavenly Canaan? |
| A13529 | His enemies asked, whence hath he all this great learning? |
| A13529 | How at one blow cut they off all paynes in getting assurance, holding or increasing of faith? |
| A13529 | How blind then must they needs be in spirituall things, that are blind in things naturall? |
| A13529 | How can foule fornicators and adulterers thinke that their prayers can get into heaven, and themselves shut out? |
| A13529 | How can he attend to reading, meditation, to exhortation, or doctrine? |
| A13529 | How can hee but bee disturbed from ardency of prayer? |
| A13529 | How can hee keepe watch with God, or over his people, or over himselfe? |
| A13529 | How can such a mans course but wage open warre with holy doctrine? |
| A13529 | How can the Aegyptians hope to stand before Israell, to whom the waters give way so strangely? |
| A13529 | How can the eye look off the signet on the arme? |
| A13529 | How comes it that we doe not heare drunkards, adulterers, theeves, swearers, blasphemours so rated and disgraced as them? |
| A13529 | How could Abraham have beleeved the promise of a sonne by Sarah, had he looked to naturall reason? |
| A13529 | How could they thinke that such corruptible food could preserve them, that it selfe could not be preserved above a few houres but by Gods institution? |
| A13529 | How did it watch over Abraham and all his beleeving posterity; whilest he and we were all in the night of sinne and death? |
| A13529 | How did the Lord watch over Jonah while he slept under hatches not dreaming of so present a danger? |
| A13529 | How did the creatures become uncleane, which God had made good? |
| A13529 | How doth the Scripture teach us to purge this leaven out of all corners? |
| A13529 | How easily can ● e repayre all things out of any thing, who can fetch and frame all things out of nothing? |
| A13529 | How inconceivable is this to humane reason which perhaps would count it foolish and ridiculous? |
| A13529 | How is it possible to forget that which is sealed on the heart? |
| A13529 | How is it then that many come into the Congregation and never bring bells? |
| A13529 | How lightly did wee in our first parents regard that upheaped measure of bounty and grace conferred by God in our Creation and innoceny? |
| A13529 | How many of much hope, by the immoderate desires and use of these outward things have besotted themselves? |
| A13529 | How may I cleanse my heart? |
| A13529 | How may I doe to get mastery of my corruptions? |
| A13529 | How may I know if I apply Christ crucified to my selfe? |
| A13529 | How may I know that the blood of Christ hath touched and purged me? |
| A13529 | How may I prize the blood of Christ? |
| A13529 | How may a man prophane this blood? |
| A13529 | How may we follow this Pillar? |
| A13529 | How may we purge out this leaven? |
| A13529 | How miserable was the sentence of that guest, that sate down at the Kings table without his wedding garment? |
| A13529 | How pitifully can men and women grieve for the death of their first borne? |
| A13529 | How pleaseth it nature to offer release from sinne, from hell, from purgatory for money? |
| A13529 | How shall I know Gods measure for me? |
| A13529 | How shall we honour Christ as the first born? |
| A13529 | How shall we know the cleane from the uncleane? |
| A13529 | How should he be a light to others that himselfe is in darknesse? |
| A13529 | How strong will it bee, and how constant? |
| A13529 | How was hee then a lambe slaine from the beginning of the World, before the Iewes were in beeing? |
| A13529 | How was the holy Ghost deceived, yea and holy men who have studied in Gods Law night and day? |
| A13529 | How were they Gods? |
| A13529 | How? |
| A13529 | How? |
| A13529 | Humane reason will never pray, My God my God, why hast thou forsaken mee? |
| A13529 | I am cast away out of thy sight: So the other cries upon the Crosse, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A13529 | If the Priest must not weepe, how could they seriously repent of their sins? |
| A13529 | If the shadows of these holy things might not bee cast to doggs: is it nothing to expose to them the body and substance it selfe? |
| A13529 | If they be pure as the sun, faire as the Moone, what is he? |
| A13529 | If they shall cry out; My God, why hast thou for saken me? |
| A13529 | In bodily famine how farre will men runne and ride for corne? |
| A13529 | In what disposition stands darknesse to entertaine light, which fights against it? |
| A13529 | In which, what else did they but shadow our Saviour Christ? |
| A13529 | Is Christ the Pillar? |
| A13529 | Is Christ the true Ioseph our brother? |
| A13529 | Is Christ the true Ioshua? |
| A13529 | Is it not reason, that the more it pleaseth the Lord to become ours, the more we should become his? |
| A13529 | Is not a little leaven enough to sower a whole lump? |
| A13529 | Is not a little serpent, a serpent; or a little poison, poison? |
| A13529 | Is not he for us under God? |
| A13529 | Is the blood of Christ so precious? |
| A13529 | Many are afraid lest the sound of their bells should bee heard too much, and that it would disgrace them to be counted diligent preachers? |
| A13529 | Master to whom shall we goe? |
| A13529 | Might he not mourne for his wife? |
| A13529 | Nay the basest sort made mouthes and scorned them both: And are there not now such as would scorne out the truth of grace were it possible? |
| A13529 | No Atheist, but a scorner of the persons and doctrine of godly teachers? |
| A13529 | No Papist, but a friend and patron, as seeing no great harme in their superstition? |
| A13529 | Now if one sight of faith in this our absence from Christ bee so joyfull a thing: what shall the ● ight of fruition doe in his presence? |
| A13529 | Now what a joy is it to the beleeving soule to see God a father looke towards it as a father to his first borne? |
| A13529 | Now what desert or merit could there bee in the first Adam to be followed with grace in his flying from it? |
| A13529 | Now whether of us agree with Moses? |
| A13529 | Oh now what a sweet Sermon doth this one type containe of the whole summe and marrow of the Gospell? |
| A13529 | Oh sinne where is thy sting? |
| A13529 | Oh who would deale thus with his enemy, but hee that hath an Ocean of mercy? |
| A13529 | Oh you are more holy then all other, you are the pure ones, you are all cleane,& c? |
| A13529 | Or be idle in speech, wanton in behaviour, carelesse of his course, or company? |
| A13529 | Or how dare he( if he could) pray? |
| A13529 | Or what is it that strikes the body with such contagious sicknesse, but the infection and sicknesse of the soule? |
| A13529 | Or who say that God is in no such society where any pollution is? |
| A13529 | Ought not great benefits become great binders? |
| A13529 | Quidregiū vides? |
| A13529 | Scornest thou this holy oile in thy selfe or others? |
| A13529 | Secondly, for the whole doctrine and religion of Popery how plausible is it to the naturall man? |
| A13529 | Seeing all of us in this wildernesse are stung with the old Serpent, what are we to doe to be cured? |
| A13529 | Seeing there was so much businesse in legall cleansing of the least foulenesse; how carefull were the Jews to avoid those foulenesses? |
| A13529 | Seemes it not good reason to choose, defend, and stick unto our forefathers religion? |
| A13529 | Shall Nineveh condemne Judea for not acknowledging a greater then Ionah; and shall it not condemne us not repenting? |
| A13529 | Shall any say, Is it not a little one? |
| A13529 | Should not strong cords of Gods love draw us strongly to love our God? |
| A13529 | So if an humble soule( suppose the Jaylor) shall come to the Minister as Paul or Silas; Sirs what may I doe to be saved? |
| A13529 | Suppose thou hadst power above Ioshua the type, art thou stronger then the true Ioshua? |
| A13529 | That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not the man? |
| A13529 | The Hebrew could say, who made thee a iudge? |
| A13529 | The Lords liberality in giving thee( not a sixt day, but) sixe whole daies wherein to gather earthly manna; and wilt thou encroach his day too? |
| A13529 | The spawne of a Serpent are Serpents; and what are wee but the spawne, the seed of Adam? |
| A13529 | The theefe on the Crosse asking Christ to remember him in his Kingdome, Augustine askes him: What Royalty doest thou see? |
| A13529 | Their glory was eclipsed in the captivity, and where be now any of Davids race according to the flesh? |
| A13529 | Then how dares a man that stands to judge between the Lord and his people, scandalize or scorne such as endeavour most to be clean? |
| A13529 | They not contented to murmur against the Lord, set also upon Moses and Aaron his servants, Why have ye brought us into the wildernesse to die? |
| A13529 | This shall burne up the studs of heaven and earth; and now how shall any man bee able to stand before these great burnings? |
| A13529 | Thou art no drunkard, or great swearer, but art thou a companion of such not reproving them? |
| A13529 | Thy sinne repented of held Christ, an innocent, out of heaven till he dyed for it: but where shall ungodly and impenitent sinners appeare? |
| A13529 | To move us to cease from our sinnes; for who would goe on to provoke so good a God, that still prevents us with love and mercy? |
| A13529 | To what end name I these follies, but by Popish and wicked superstition to condemne our heavinesse in Gods Commandements? |
| A13529 | Unbeleefe is full of repinings and murmurings: Oh how should I be prouided for, in this or that? |
| A13529 | V. Is Christ this Pillar of Cloud and fire? |
| A13529 | Was not Festus a wise man, and a prudent governour? |
| A13529 | Was the Sonne lesse faithfull? |
| A13529 | Was there any difference between this and other Clouds? |
| A13529 | Was there any sence or reason to be conceived in all this counsell and ordinance of God in healing thus his people? |
| A13529 | Was there now so great faith in Israel? |
| A13529 | Was there so much power in the blood of the type; and not much more in the blood of the trueth? |
| A13529 | What a fearefull thing is it to come as most men doe, not considering the Lords body? |
| A13529 | What a marveilous thing is it that a Pillar of fire should sit upon the Tabernacle, and not burne it? |
| A13529 | What a strange thing that a Pillar of fire must coole the Israëlites, and save them from fire? |
| A13529 | What are the rules of inquisition of direction? |
| A13529 | What authority can an Oracle have in a drunken mans mouth, which can not but use to speake leud things? |
| A13529 | What can a Serpent cast out but poyson? |
| A13529 | What easier faith then to beleeve as the Church doth, no matter what; without any knowledge or faith of their owne? |
| A13529 | What garments must we put on? |
| A13529 | What had it beene better, if all the congregation had taken part with a leper, if the Priest pronounced him uncleane? |
| A13529 | What had it beene to have passed the oppressors of Aegypt, and to have beene swallowed up of the sea? |
| A13529 | What hope hath he to be taught by the spirit, that must give lawes to the Spirit of God? |
| A13529 | What if he had never so much power in teaching, if he were impotent in defending? |
| A13529 | What if men applaud and commend thee for an honest man, a good neighbour, a just man, if he judge thee a leper? |
| A13529 | What is earth to heaven, that is, faith to fruition? |
| A13529 | What is gold, silver, silke, pearles; to righteousnesse, holinesse, life, immortality and glory? |
| A13529 | What kinde of Cloud was this? |
| A13529 | What may I doe thus to receive the whole lambe? |

| A13551 | 3 BVt is not God mercifull, who will not the death of a sinner? |
| A13551 | 3 But how vnhappy art thou that stumblest on this rocke, to cast thy selfe headlong from thine owne saluation? |

| A13551 | Can we expect and receiue a full streame, and not let fall a drop of mercy vpon others? |
| A13551 | Canst thou not abide a drawing playster to driue away corrupt bloud and humours? |
| A13551 | Considering these terrours of the Lord, what manner of men ought wee to be? |

| A13551 | Doe I loue God? |
| A13551 | Doe I wrastle it out with God by prayer, and doe I preuaile for mercy and grace? |
| A13551 | Doe not all, euen the regenerate, pray daily, Forgiue vs our trespasses? |
| A13551 | Doe old men forget they were children? |
| A13551 | Doe you so reward the Lord, O foolish people? |
| A13551 | Dost thou seeke by exhortation, aduice, admonition, perswasion, by the spirit of meekenesse to turne them right that are gone astray? |
| A13551 | Durst they call the master Be ● lzebub, and will the seruant looke to be better than his master? |
| A13551 | For who knoweth how oft he offendeth? |
| A13551 | For, hath he not made vs men, not beasts, or serpents? |

| A13551 | Hath thine house been a profane house, a gaming house, an house of swearing, riot, and disorder? |
| A13551 | Haue we neuer had any sores, which we would haue had others handle gently? |
| A13551 | He speaketh of wicked men flourishing in all wealth and prosperity: who say to the Almighty, Depart from vs; who is the almighty? |
| A13551 | Heare the sweete voice, and warning of the Lord to his people: Turne ye, turne ye, Oh why will you dye? |

| A13551 | I can not fulfill them: but doe I keepe them in my vnderstanding, meditation, affection, in true purpose and indeauour in my whole conuersation? |
| A13551 | If God haue appointed thee to saluation, why commest thou to Church? |
| A13551 | If great benefits and gifts, bee great binders, what is the greatest gift of all, the giuing of his Sonne to be a surety, and satisfaction for sinne? |

| A13551 | Oh now will not all this bring the sinner backe with Dauid to say, Oh I haue done very foolishly? |
| A13551 | Oh remember the woe pronounced on them by whom offences come: Why takest thou the Law into thy mouth, and hatest to bee reformed? |
| A13551 | Oh that we were wise, to say, Shall I sin against such mercy? |
| A13551 | Oh then shall I goe on in sin, to dare this iustice? |

| A13551 | dost thou euer thinke to master thy sinnes, which are so inbred, so neare, so necessary, so profitable as eyes, hands, yea, as ayre, fire, or water? |
| A13551 | hast thou gotten so many pounds by robbing God and his Minister, by vniust and malitious detaining Gods part? |
| A13551 | hast thou gotten so many thousands by cruelty, and vsury? |
| A13551 | hath he commanded vs to forgiue our brethren offending seuenty seuen times, and will not hee forgiue vs our offences? |
| A13551 | hath he giuen thee a sonne- ship? |
| A13551 | hath he not preserued vs, and prospered vs in our estate, and lifted vs vp in earthly mercies? |
| A13551 | how can I spare thee for these things? |
| A13551 | how can he discerne the nature of sin, to be an irrectitude and crookednesse, but by the straightnesse of the Law? |
| A13551 | how can he discouer the danger of his sinne, to awaken him out of it, but by the Law? |
| A13551 | how darest thou call on the name of the Lord, and not depart from iniquity? |
| A13551 | how darest thou cast thy Repentance into thy last accounts, which ought to be the first worke of euery Christian? |
| A13551 | how darest thou deferre it beyond this day, and hazzard to lose that in one moment, which can neuer be hoped or gayned afterward? |
| A13551 | how hard is it to be so misconstrued in euery thing? |
| A13551 | is neither the day of thy life, nor the day of grace certaine? |
| A13551 | is the present day late enough? |
| A13551 | is there no basenesse in sinne to be a seruant, and slaue ● o ● usts? |
| A13551 | is there not more paines in committing, than forsaking any sin? |
| A13551 | maketh him the child of wrath, shutteth heauen, openeth hell, killeth soule and bodie? |
| A13551 | may I giue false testimony, or iudge vnrighteously to preferre a wicked person before my selfe? |
| A13551 | may the next day be too late? |
| A13551 | nay, our Lords gentlenesse and meekenesse with sinners, was it not called boone companionship, and himselfe for it a glutton, a companion of sinners? |
| A13551 | not for the goates: who be they? |
| A13551 | of Ethiopians and strangers, they shoud become of the houshold and family of God? |
| A13551 | of Wolues, they should become Sheepe of Christs fold? |
| A13551 | oh there is a precious gift of loue: hast thou loue? |
| A13551 | or dost thou thinke of Repentance, and not of Restitution? |
| A13551 | or rather, with the precious bloud of Iesus Christ? |
| A13551 | or rising out of a few sleight veniall sinnes, cured by a a Creed, or Aue, or a knocke on the breast? |
| A13551 | or who but would be loath to be thought of the Preciser sort? |
| A13551 | or will therefore cast off all trading, because some of the same trade breake and deceiue? |
| A13551 | pride, prophanenesse, drunkennesse, swearing, ryot, excesse, vnmercifulnesse, while your bils bring you in some starued in your streetes? |
| A13551 | secondly, may it be their case? |
| A13551 | shal the Sun be darkned, and the Heauens couered with mourning; and shall not wee mourne, and be ashamed to show our heads? |
| A13551 | shall I by an heart hardened, not knowing Repentance, heape vp wrath against the day of wrath? |
| A13551 | shall a seruant the kinder the Master is, be so much the more carelesse to prouoke him? |
| A13551 | shall the earth tremble at this; and shall not our hearts feare? |
| A13551 | shall wee still stand it out, till ineuitable destruction ouertake vs? |
| A13551 | should we not be as carefull for our soules as for out houses? |
| A13551 | so may the Lord, Am not I better than ten thousand friends? |
| A13551 | they are but bred for vs. 2 But indeed the worke of Repentance is not so painefull and sorrowfull as thou pretendest; for, is it not Christs yoke? |
| A13551 | thirdly, is it not a great misery on themselues, on their ill- gotten wealth, on their iniustice to God his Ministers and others? |
| A13551 | thou canst not looke to be perfect, and how can God accept that which is so vnworthy and imperfect? |
| A13551 | to turne it into a Tap- house by drunkennesse, into a stewes by vncleanenesse? |
| A13551 | was not Iohn Baptists abstinence and sober manner of liuing, esteemed melancholike; yea, diuelish austerity? |
| A13551 | was not Maries loue and bounty to Christ, counted wastfulnesse? |
| A13551 | was not the happy tidings of saluation in the Apostles mouthes ▪ counted seditious doctrine and nouelties? |

| A13551 | will the winning of the whole world recompence the losse of thy soule? |
| A13551 | wilt thou striue against the streame, where it is so impossible to ouercome, and forsake them? |

| A13547 | Againe, doth the seed belong to any but good ground? |
| A13547 | Againe, what shall we say to the despisers of Gods Word? |
| A13547 | Ah miserable man that I am, who shall deliuer me from this body of death? |
| A13547 | Am not I as able to iudge what is fit, as he? |
| A13547 | An argument of a sleepy, and dull heart: And can we thinke God will open that mans heart, who will not open his owne eare? |
| A13547 | And as we condemne the righteous, so how generall is it in our iudgements, to passe our voyces in iustifying the wicked? |
| A13547 | And besides, thou that oughtest not to be ashamed of him in his abasement, darest thou now in his glory and aduancement? |
| A13547 | And how absurd is it, that while thou takest the Lords wages, thou shouldest doe the worlds worke, or thine owne businesse altogether? |
| A13547 | And how can he but returne a comfortable answere on that, which is so delightfull vnto him? |
| A13547 | And if I goe to Seruice, and obey the Kings law, and doe as my neighbours do, and as my forefathers did, what need more precisenesse? |
| A13547 | And if he be, whether they shall forsake him whom hee forsaketh not? |
| A13547 | And is it a small thing to be robbed of this heauenly wisedome, to which no treasure is comparable? |
| A13547 | And to whom should I rather dedicate this labour, than to you, who heard it preached with much gladnesse? |
| A13547 | And vnthankfull Israelites, when Manna first commeth, admire it, reioyce in it, feed vpon it, grow strong by it: Why? |
| A13547 | And what account can hee giue, that hath defrauded both his Master, and his fellow- seruants? |
| A13547 | And what are they but a packe of dissemblers, and hypocrites, and neuer a good of them all? |
| A13547 | And what doth it profit a man to winne the world, and lose his soule? |
| A13547 | And what hurt comes by mens communication, which naturally is profane, vnsauory, vncharitable? |
| A13547 | And what other cup did they drinke, but the cup of affliction, persecution, and death it selfe? |
| A13547 | And what other is the end of many common Protestants and Professors, who were neuer busie in the true vnderstanding of their Principles of Religion? |
| A13547 | And what? |
| A13547 | And whence goe they? |
| A13547 | And who is worthy to enioy Gods blessings about him, in wife, children, family, calling and estate, that doth not reioyce in the same? |

| A13547 | And why? |
| A13547 | Are not Ministers Sowers? |
| A13547 | Are these fruits beseeming good ground? |
| A13547 | As for example: Suppose some kinde of Stage- playes were lawfull, were it not vnlawfull to play in a Church? |

| A13547 | Bring them vp in the nurture and instruction of the Lord? |
| A13547 | But can an euill heart espy such beauty in Christ? |
| A13547 | But doe lawfull pleasures doe so too? |
| A13547 | But doe you thinke the diuell casts me asleepe? |
| A13547 | But especially if we will be conformable to our Head: Did he spend his dayes or nights in pleasure? |
| A13547 | But how can a rush grow without myre, or grasse without water? |
| A13547 | But how can you cut a stone, what compunction can you worke in it? |
| A13547 | But how comes it, that the seed being so pure, holy, yeelding, the fruits are so contrary? |

| A13547 | But how loues he Religion? |
| A13547 | But how many cast off all consideration of aduised circumstances? |
| A13547 | But how rash and dishonourable to Christ is this answere, beside the falshood of it? |
| A13547 | But how shall I know that I vnderstand the Word, and am not the worst ground? |
| A13547 | But how weake were the conclusion, Some fall from temporary faith, therefore others may fall from iustifying faith? |
| A13547 | But is an euill heart thus humble? |
| A13547 | But now the Ministers, who sow good and wholesome seed, may complaine as the seruants in the Parable, Master, didst not thou sow good seede? |
| A13547 | But was not Martha reproued for so slighting the preaching of Christ? |
| A13547 | But what a number of sinnes doe men and women put on with their apparell? |

| A13547 | But whence doth hee steale the Word? |
| A13547 | But why doth our Sauiour here speake only of the hundreth fold, the highest degree of fruits? |
| A13547 | But, can there be so much beauty or pleasantnesse in the creatures, as in the Creator? |
| A13547 | By scoffes and reproches of wretched men, who scorne the Word and wayes of God: What, will you beleeue all that he saith? |
| A13547 | Can God be content to finde so little, where he expects so much? |
| A13547 | Can not a man be rich and godly? |
| A13547 | Can the world that lieth in wickednesse, hate and prosecute wickednesse indeed? |
| A13547 | Can we be assured by such a desperate and vncomfortable Doctrine? |
| A13547 | Can we haue comfort or hope in such an estate, as is outstripped by hopelesse and damned hypocrites? |
| A13547 | Can your thoughts bee carried to heauen and earth at one time? |
| A13547 | Canst thou say thus much for thy selfe? |
| A13547 | Christ was not ashamed of thy crosse, and wilt thou bee ashamed of his? |
| A13547 | Could Christ aske or desire any thing, which stood not with the will of his Father? |
| A13547 | Dauid appeales heere to the Lord himselfe, Loue I not them that loue thee, and hate them that hate thee? |
| A13547 | Dauids heart smote him for cutting off the lap of Sauls garment: How would it haue smote him for cutting off his head? |
| A13547 | Did Christ pray for all and euery of his enemies? |
| A13547 | Did not Israel heare Gods owne voyce, in giuing the Law, with dread? |
| A13547 | Did not the Lord speak to Cain immediatly, to reclaime him from his sinne? |
| A13547 | Did not the Master allow,& the seruants cast in good seed? |
| A13547 | Did not the Prophet count one day in Gods house better than a thousand else- where? |
| A13547 | Did not your fathers thus, and our God brought all this plague vpon vs? |
| A13547 | Diddest thou marke in the Theefe conuerted, what a number of excellent fruits presently appeared? |
| A13547 | Do not we set figs? |
| A13547 | Doe wee euer reade of him that he laughed? |
| A13547 | Doe wee see a stony heart receiue the Word speedily and hungrily? |
| A13547 | Doe wee thinke Demas cast off the whole profession of Religion, when hee forsooke the truth, and exchanged it for the world? |
| A13547 | Doest thou all duties in true purpose and constitution of heart? |
| A13547 | Doest thou attend thy thoughts in hearing, that thy mind bee not taken vp with other matters, and by- thoughts? |
| A13547 | Doest thou flourish like a greene Bay- tree, in the winter of this age, in want of encouragements and example? |
| A13547 | Doest thou grow in this frozen and wintrous time, so stormie and blustering against sincerity? |
| A13547 | Doest thou heare the Word preached, without any great fruit? |
| A13547 | Doest thou indeed attend as thou wouldst to thy learned Counsell, when thy free- hold is called into question? |
| A13547 | Doest thou mingle the Word with faith, without which it can not profit? |
| A13547 | Doest thou not thinke these are matters not so neerely concerning thee to know? |
| A13547 | Doest thou pray to God to open thine eyes, that thou maiest see the mysteries of his Law? |
| A13547 | Doest thou shut thine eyes, and then say thou canst not see; or stop thine eares, and say thou canst not heare with vnderstanding? |
| A13547 | Dost thou continue in growth, euen in opposition, and to the conclusion? |
| A13547 | Doth God write any man in his Booke, and blot him out againe? |
| A13547 | Doth euery good ground bring increase an hundreth fold? |
| A13547 | Doth the Word iudge and condemne thee? |
| A13547 | Doth thy faith grow against thy feeling? |
| A13547 | Endeuourest thou to know further, and practise the whole will of God reuealed? |
| A13547 | Fifthly, is not this the next way to perpetuate our ioy and pleasure, to set it on him who is euerlasting and indeficient? |
| A13547 | First, God in Christ is true riches: what can be wanting to make a man fully happy, who inioyes God as his portion? |
| A13547 | First, Who art thou that hast receiued wealth? |
| A13547 | For commonly the effect of affluence and abundance, is, to say with Pharaoh, Who is the Lord? |
| A13547 | For if God take knowledge, and bee able, and willing to supply them, what need I vexe my selfe further? |
| A13547 | For if darknesse should be on this Hill, what can be expected in the valleyes? |
| A13547 | For the matter, which is not skinnes, as Adams, but stately, and costly? |
| A13547 | For what? |
| A13547 | God hath long manured vs, but where is our abundant fruit? |
| A13547 | Had not the Disciples renounced all for Christ? |
| A13547 | Had they not many promises from the Lord, of his care and prouidence for them? |
| A13547 | Haue not many made themselues trespassers, in destroying what they seemed to haue builded? |
| A13547 | Haue they suffered for Christ or good conscience any thing all their life long? |
| A13547 | Haue we the Gospell, which is a wisedome full of good fruits, and shall we not shew the fruits of it? |
| A13547 | Hearest thou from the Text, that a wicked man may grow vp, and rise vp to a farre degree of profession, and reformation? |
| A13547 | Hearest thou this? |
| A13547 | How can God accept a seruice, wanting these foure things? |
| A13547 | How can a man see obiects, that hath a thorne run into his eye? |
| A13547 | How can a man walke on cheerfully in his way, that hath a thorne sticking in his foote? |
| A13547 | How can they beleeue, vnlesse they heare, or how can they heare, without a Preacher? |
| A13547 | How can they beleeue, vnlesse they heare? |
| A13547 | How can this bee, seeing none are more conflicted with inward terrours and tentations, or outward crosses, and enemies? |
| A13547 | How canst thou keepe that in thy memory, which neuer comes in thy head? |
| A13547 | How canst thou that neglectest these meanes, complaine for want of memory, and not of conscience? |

| A13547 | How is it, that men thrust themselues as busi- bodies into other mens matters, and faile in their owne? |
| A13547 | How lawfull is it, and necessary, to imploy a mans selfe in his calling? |
| A13547 | How little is God and his Word beholden to these men, who are vnderlings to their pleasures? |
| A13547 | How long shall he be with thee? |
| A13547 | How many all the weeke long gather goods, and driue their Trades with as many Othes, lyes, and glozings, almost as words? |
| A13547 | How many are falne backe from their righteousnesse, which shall neuer bee remembred? |
| A13547 | How many delude themselues, while they say, If I were not a good man, God would not blesse my labours, so blessing themselues in their riches? |
| A13547 | How many haue wee obserued so strict in their course, that they could endure no sinne, no nor the appearance of euill, in themselues or others? |

| A13547 | How may that be? |
| A13547 | How may this doctrine dant and terrifie many of vs, who take our selues to be in good estate, when yet we are not comparable to this bad ground? |
| A13547 | How may we willingly and patiently take vp the Crosse, and indure the shame of our Profession, as our Lord did? |
| A13547 | How much more pleasant is it, to see the buds of the Lord grow in our hearts, to the vn- rooting and ouer- mastering of the weeds of sinne? |
| A13547 | How plainly is all this set before vs in these foure sorts of Hearers, of whom onely one sort was good and approued in their hearing? |
| A13547 | How rich is his prayer and intercession? |

| A13547 | How shall I know these vnbounded and distrustfull cares? |
| A13547 | How should I cast my care vpon God? |
| A13547 | How then will they answere it, if they seldomer heare, know lesse, obey lesse, and sinne more than others? |
| A13547 | How truly are pleasure and sorrow called twinnes; no sooner is one borne, but the other holds his heele? |
| A13547 | I am the Lord of all flesh: Is any thing hard to me? |
| A13547 | I haue graued thee on the palmes of my hands: and what is a more present helpe than the hand of a man? |

| A13547 | Is not this losse of time( as some call it) the best redeeming of time? |
| A13547 | Is not this to frustrate the Lords expectation, to let his seruants lose all their labour? |
| A13547 | Is the Sabbath appoynted to cleanse thy soule from sinne, and darest thou most soule and moyle thy selfe that day aboue other? |
| A13547 | Is this the way to reach vs the assurance of our saluation, to which you so often call vs? |
| A13547 | Is thy life, thy actions, speaches, yea, and thoughts squared to the Word? |
| A13547 | It is carefull to keepe it selfe to the Commandement, lest it be said of any of his seruices, Who required this at your hands? |
| A13547 | It will hold it selfe sealed: but where is the impression? |
| A13547 | Lastly, doest thou continue in growth and fruits? |

| A13547 | Lord, who holdeth thee, that thou canst not get away? |
| A13547 | May I sort my selfe with swearers, ruffians, riotous persons, without respect of company? |
| A13547 | May we not lay vp for our selues, and our children? |
| A13547 | My father liued honestly without it: And what care many of our Noble men, and men of great account for it? |
| A13547 | Nay, because eating, drinking, and sundry games, as bowling, shooting, be lawfull, must I therefore, or may I doe these in all companies? |
| A13547 | Nay, some neuer resolue to doe good till they die; but, then they will repent and be better,& c. But what? |
| A13547 | Nay, wee must not let him make fooles of vs: What hath hee to doe with such and such poynts, our gouernment, our callings? |
| A13547 | Now how inconsequent is this, Many fall from professing the truth, therefore the Elect fall from grace? |
| A13547 | Now what argument is this, It is possible for some truly inlightened, to fall away, therefore for some truly regenerate? |
| A13547 | Now what could he doe more for his Vineyard? |
| A13547 | Num Deus quenquam scribit& delet, saith Augustine? |
| A13547 | O Lord, why hast thou hardned our hearts against thy feare? |
| A13547 | Of both which I may say with Gregory, Quis mihi crederet, si spinas diuitias interpretari vellem, cùm illae pugnant, istae delectent? |
| A13547 | Oh but wee loue the Word, and if God himselfe, or Christ would teach vs, wee should say more: But what are Ministers more than other men? |
| A13547 | One time or other the Word of God blasts the hypocrite, as the fruitlesse Figge- tree, and then how soone is it withered? |
| A13547 | Or are they any way like the seed? |
| A13547 | Or did the Galatians turne Gentiles, and quite forsake the profession of Christ, when they turned to another Gospell? |
| A13547 | Or did the Pharises, or such as sinne the sinne against the holy Ghost, wholly renounce the profession of Religion? |
| A13547 | Or doth she not loue her louers, and reward most bountifully most prodigious euill men? |
| A13547 | Or how can he expect a crop in haruest, that sleepes and trifles away his seed- time? |
| A13547 | Or how stands that assertion with our Sauiours prediction, that true Christians should be appointed as sheepe for the slaughter? |
| A13547 | Or shall any man thinke his sonne too good, and of too high birth for that office, which the Sonne of God himselfe despised not? |
| A13547 | Or shall that which honoured Christ, be a barre to preferment, namely, to be diligent sowers? |
| A13547 | Or where is one of a thousand, that will be reclaimed from them? |
| A13547 | Or who calls vs out of our beds, but he? |
| A13547 | Pride in a mans selfe breeds contempt of God, and his Word: as Pharaoh, Who is the Lord? |
| A13547 | Quid restat, nisi vt( pace vestra) calcar addam vobis,& mihi in stadio hoc muneris nostri sanctissimo decurrentibus? |
| A13547 | Receiued ye the Spirit by the workes of the Law, or by the hearing of faith preached? |
| A13547 | Refusest thou to suffer a Flea- biting in comparison, a blast of words, a frowne of bad times, now in dayes of the peace of the Gospell? |
| A13547 | Secondly, what great strength doth it fortifie our faith withall, then which no one, nor all graces are more assayled? |
| A13547 | Secondly, what hast thou receiued? |
| A13547 | Secondly, why doe wee loue or delight in any outward thing, but because of the beauty and pleasantnesse of it? |
| A13547 | See we men of so great illumination, affection,& reformation( as in this stony ground) wither quite away? |
| A13547 | See wee heere a gracelesse ground and heart swift to heare, and painfull in trauell to get the Word soundly taught? |
| A13547 | See you not how the diuell hath cast you into a nap, lest you should heare, and beleeue, and be saued? |
| A13547 | Shall Esau haue the birth- right, that preferres pottage before it? |
| A13547 | Shall Gods stable counsell depend on the leuity and temerity of mans will? |
| A13547 | Shall forward Hearers bee condemned, and the backward in hearing approued? |
| A13547 | Shall our Profession bee Christian, and our practice Heathen? |
| A13547 | Shall we feede daily at the table of Wisedome, where is so full prouision, and neuer grow in strength and stature? |
| A13547 | Shall we neuer come to answere for our meanes, which we are so vnanswerable in? |
| A13547 | Shalt thou not dye, and go forth weeping? |
| A13547 | Si debeo totum me pro me facto, quid debeo pro me refecto? |
| A13547 | So, who will not throng and thrust after a pleasing Preacher, or so long as he dwels in Promises? |
| A13547 | Spend whole dayes and nights in merry sports, Playes, pastimes: doth the delight last longer than the present fruition? |
| A13547 | The Iaylor, assoone as euer hee was conuerted, what a number of good fruits produced he? |
| A13547 | The whole Word is giuen, not to them that sleepe, but them that wake: But who is it that makes vs awake, and keepes vs waking, but the Lord? |
| A13547 | They seeme to know their season, and seed- time: and is it not commendable in Christianity to know the day of visitation? |
| A13547 | Thinkest thou the diuell hath no baits but in his hellish tentations? |
| A13547 | Thirdly, on what condition hast thou receiued them? |
| A13547 | Thou knowest as much as thou needest: and, what can hee teach me which I know not? |
| A13547 | Thou sayest thou lackest wisedome: doest thou aske it of God? |
| A13547 | To whom I say, Is Gods Word an aduersary to thee? |
| A13547 | Was it fit Christ should speake otherwise to Scribes, Pharises, Sadduces, who came only to carpe? |
| A13547 | Was there not absolute conformity betweene the will of God, the Father and the Sonne? |
| A13547 | Was this commendable in them, and is it reproouable in vs Christians? |
| A13547 | Wast thou not borne weeping, into the valley of weeping? |
| A13547 | What a great measure of knowledge had Demas, Iudas, and Iulian attained, by which they seemed to haue cleane escaped such as are wrapped in errour? |
| A13547 | What a strength is it, when afflictions take a man in his way, and while with a good heart he goes about his businesse? |
| A13547 | What a sweet pleasure is it in the spring, to see our seeds and plants grow and come vp in our gardens? |
| A13547 | What a world of wealth is in the blood of Christ, one drop of which redeemed a whole world? |
| A13547 | What are these wings of wealth? |
| A13547 | What be the meanes to keepe vs from withering? |
| A13547 | What can he expect lesse, than abundance of sweet Grapes? |
| A13547 | What else can we feare of our Land, and many our Inhabitants, to whom Gods Word is as a tale told to a dead man? |
| A13547 | What good is gotten by all this preaching? |
| A13547 | What haruest can they expect, who will suffer no seed to be sowne in their fields? |
| A13547 | What hath he not done? |
| A13547 | What hath the Lord done for vs, that hee may expect so much? |
| A13547 | What is it that wee must bring with our hearing, to make vs hold out? |
| A13547 | What is more lawfull and necessary than Marriage, for the comfort of man, for the continuance of the world, and the Church, by an holy seed? |
| A13547 | What is more lawfull or necessary, than to prouide for a mans owne? |
| A13547 | What is more lawfull, yea more necessary than recreation? |
| A13547 | What is more necessary than apparell, decently to couer nakednesse, to fence the body from iniury of weather, and to put vs in minde of sinne? |
| A13547 | What is more sweet and necessary vpon earth, than company and society with men? |
| A13547 | What is the gaine of an handfull of earth, perhaps with the losse of the soule, and heauen? |
| A13547 | What is the rooting in the grace of faith? |
| A13547 | What is this birth- right in comparison of the pottage? |
| A13547 | What is this but to walke vpon snares and thornes, which will sting the conscience, and wound the soule to certaine and speedy death? |
| A13547 | What is this knowledge? |
| A13547 | What is this, but to giue the Son of God the lye, who saith here, that he is the honestest man, that heares the Word most carefully? |
| A13547 | What made the widowes to breake their faith giuen to Christ, but wantonnesse, and liuing in pleasures? |
| A13547 | What meanes may I vse to attaine this sound moysture? |
| A13547 | What need is there of a loyterer in seed- time, or in haruest? |
| A13547 | What need wee say more, than they proclaime against themselues? |
| A13547 | What other fruits did the Apostles beare thorow the world, but the sweet and comfortable light of grace, both in their doctrine and conuersation? |
| A13547 | What outward prosperity had the Church in AEgypt, in Babylon, in the ten Persecutions for 300. yeeres together before Constantine? |
| A13547 | What peace, so long as thy sinne remaineth? |
| A13547 | What pity to see a flocke without a shepheard to feede and fold them? |
| A13547 | What pity to see a whole field of corne white for the haruest, but rotting on the earth for want of a man to gather it? |
| A13547 | What returne expect they in the haruest, who affect the Ale- house better then the House of God? |
| A13547 | What shall we doe to be saued? |
| A13547 | What swarmes of Atheists are there, who out of a gracelesse contempt of all Religion, neglect this duty? |

| A13547 | What was more lawfull than to buy a Farme, and a yoke of Oxen, or to marry a Wife? |
| A13547 | What was the reason? |
| A13547 | What, doe you meane to driue vs all to despaire? |
| A13547 | What? |
| A13547 | What? |
| A13547 | When Christ had vttered this Parable, the Disciples asked, Master, why speakest thou in Parables? |
| A13547 | When God allowes thee sixe dayes, are they not whole? |
| A13547 | When God rested the seuenth day, was it not the whole? |
| A13547 | When comes he? |
| A13547 | Whence, I say, are they? |
| A13547 | Where are the abundant fruits of our abundant hearing? |
| A13547 | Where is hee that retaines an heauenly minde in following his earthly businesse? |
| A13547 | Where men commit more, more is expected? |
| A13547 | Wherein stands the ioy of Gods people? |

| A13547 | Who almost preferres not the riches of the world, aboue the riches of Christ? |
| A13547 | Who are these that fly like a cloud, and as Doues to the windowes? |
| A13547 | Who will beleeue our report? |
| A13547 | Who will shew vs any good? |
| A13547 | Who would beleeue mee, if I should interpret these thornes to bee riches, seeing thornes doe pricke and vexe a man, but riches delight a man? |
| A13547 | Who would not come running, as gladly as the young man, to heare he should bee saued, who not liking the conditions, went away as heauily? |
| A13547 | Whom haue I in Heauen but thee, or whom in Earth in comparison of thee? |
| A13547 | Why did Christ so painfully sow the seeds of saluation in the eares and hearts of mē, but that such as beleeued in him might haue euerlasting life? |
| A13547 | Why doth our Sauiour Christ speake in Parables, and darke comparisons? |

| A13547 | Why, who be they? |
| A13547 | Will not euery man say, that to taste how good God is, is the best taste? |
| A13547 | Wilt thou cast thine eyes vpon wealth which is nothing? |
| A13547 | Wouldest thou auoid this reuenge of God? |
| A13547 | Wouldest thou haue the Word to thriue in thy soule? |
| A13547 | Wouldest thou try the sincerity of thy faith? |

| A13547 | Yet what Gamester of a thousand sees himselfe tumbling in these sinnes? |
| A13547 | and canst thou liue in laughing and merriment? |
| A13547 | and is not the seuenth so too? |
| A13547 | and may not hee expect much, where he hath giuen so much? |
| A13547 | and shall we be weaklings still? |
| A13547 | and the Iaylor, ibid? |
| A13547 | and yet did they cease to murmure and rebell against him? |
| A13547 | being at best but shaking reeds, vnstable in their grounds, how can they but fall as an house set on the sand, and the fall is great? |
| A13547 | bringing euen thoughts( which are thought so free) into conformity with the Word? |
| A13547 | but, did hee repent at the voyce of God himselfe? |
| A13547 | by which we may haue testimonie, that we are the Lords, and shall be found fruitfull in the haruest? |
| A13547 | great men, and rich men stoupe to so base a thing as preaching, and to so base persons as Preachers, all whose power is in their tongue? |
| A13547 | how affects he the Ministery, and Ministers? |
| A13547 | how can you pricke and pierce it, while the natiue hardnesse remaines? |
| A13547 | how followes he the Word, for hearing and practice? |
| A13547 | how long shall he suffer thee? |
| A13547 | how many good duties vndertaken, and the reckoning furthered? |
| A13547 | how needfull therefore is it for vs to bee fully settled and rooted in our grounds of Religion? |
| A13547 | in what schoole? |
| A13547 | is it I, Master? |
| A13547 | my soule longeth after the liuing God: when shall I appeare before him? |
| A13547 | nay, where is our thirty fold? |
| A13547 | or can it thus affect him? |
| A13547 | or doth the Word properly belong to any but the true Beleeuers? |
| A13547 | or may not riches sort with saluation? |
| A13547 | or rather is it not hard, senslesse, proud, as Pharaoh, Who is the Lord? |
| A13547 | or that grace thriues and prospers in him, which is scorned and trampled by the most? |
| A13547 | or that you haue taken some graines too many of that hellish opium, which makes you sleepe vnto death? |
| A13547 | or to whom is the arme of the Lord reuealed? |
| A13547 | or wilt thou, in stead of gold or pearles, pester thy best cofer with drosse and pibbles, which are heauie and cumbersome, but of no price or value? |
| A13547 | saying to the two blind men, Doe you beleeue that I can doe it? |
| A13547 | so, Haue ye not beds at home to sleepe in? |
| A13547 | that the Gospell was fruitfull among them from the first day they heard it, and truly knew the grace of God? |
| A13547 | that thou wouldst forgo them, by auoyding a light& moment any affliction, not worthy the glory y t shall be reuealed? |
| A13547 | then bewrayed heauenly life, when being pricked at heart they cried out, Men and brethren, what may wee doe to bee saued? |
| A13547 | to whom God is more cleerly reuealed in the Booke of the Scriptures, than of the creatures? |
| A13547 | was it a sinne to eate, to drinke, to marry? |
| A13547 | was it first Incest with his two daughters? |
| A13547 | were not this to ensnare my selfe, and offend others? |
| A13547 | were these the things for which they were destroyed? |
| A13547 | what could hee doe more? |
| A13547 | what goodnesse is in that ground, that hath giuen ouer his fruits? |
| A13547 | what is thy Well- beloued aboue other well- beloueds? |
| A13547 | what our portion? |
| A13547 | what sorrowes by day and night did he sustaine and swallow? |
| A13547 | what then shall become of a multitude of our carelesse and forgetfull Hearers, of our brutish and senslesse Hearers, who are resolued to remaine so? |
| A13547 | what wouldst thou doe in the stings of Scorpions, and the fiery trials of former times, but shame both thy Lord and thy selfe? |
| A13547 | whence then are these tares? |
| A13547 | whence then are these tares? |
| A13547 | whence then are these thistles? |
| A13547 | where Adams posse non peccare, in this lower Paradise, shall be turned for euer into non posse peccare? |
| A13547 | where the father saith, Domine, quis te tenet? |
| A13547 | which yet is not seen on thee? |
| A13547 | who said of Paul, What will this babbler say? |
| A13547 | who shall hinder thee? |
| A13547 | yet what was his wages, but wrongfull imprisonment? |
| A13547 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Be carefull for nothing? |
| A68805 | & should wee thinke much to buy it with our last bloud? |
| A68805 | & they so much the more forgetfull of God, as he is more bountifull toward them? |
| A68805 | ( For how weak were the Disciples while Christ was with them?) |
| A68805 | 12. Who art thou that fearest a mortall man? |
| A68805 | 12. so many as received him: But who were they? |
| A68805 | 2. whose praier, what is it but a mournfull complaint of his owne ignorance? |
| A68805 | 21. Who is this that blasphemeth? |
| A68805 | 28. the servants said, shall wee gather up the tares? |
| A68805 | 5. who can abide the day of his comming? |
| A68805 | 9. who would preferre the myrie and dirty wayes of sinfull pleasures before it? |
| A68805 | 9. whom shall I teach, or make to understand? |
| A68805 | A man may sometime light of a peece of gold on a dunghill: and will he not take it up? |
| A68805 | Againe, doe I cast mine eyes upon my own or other mens full cups, and large revenues? |
| A68805 | Againe, is the soule so precious? |
| A68805 | Alas, what would wee doe if wee had Deitie and heavenly glory to stand upon? |
| A68805 | Alas, where is our zeale? |
| A68805 | All the world may see our conversation is not without covetousnesse: and where is he that can say his heart is cleane? |
| A68805 | Also as it is sanctified by the Spirit: what can bee comparable to his unmatchable graces? |
| A68805 | And can these things, so vaine in themselves, recover so infinite a losse? |
| A68805 | And canst thou bee wedded to Christ, and not subject thy will to his? |
| A68805 | And doth not so cursed a root endanger the soule? |
| A68805 | And if the hangings bee so precious, what may we thinke of the roome? |
| A68805 | And is not the Idolater in danger of perdition? |
| A68805 | And is not the soule now in danger? |
| A68805 | And now after all this say, What profit is it to winne the whole world, and lose his owne soule? |
| A68805 | And shall we refuse his worke? |
| A68805 | And sometimes many: how easily follow we a multitude unto evill? |
| A68805 | And what an high indignity is it, to trust an honest man on his word, but not God without a pawne? |
| A68805 | And what can they hope to attaine at length, that never runne at a right marke? |
| A68805 | And what else doth our Lord affirme, in saying, How hard is it for a rich man to be saved? |
| A68805 | And what else makes a mans face to shine, but wisdome? |
| A68805 | And when one Philoromus defending him, said, How can hee bee moved with teares on earth, whose eyes behold the glory of heaven? |
| A68805 | And why should he take that into his heart, which the Lord hath cast under his feet? |
| A68805 | And why? |
| A68805 | And why? |
| A68805 | And, what was it else, that kept men from the supper of the great King, but buying of oxen, marrying of wives, and other worldly occasions? |
| A68805 | Are not religious duties laid aside? |
| A68805 | Are we obnoxious to so many miseries, loaded with so many sins, beset with so many enemies, and yet even now set upon a merry pinne? |
| A68805 | Art thou a neere friend unto Christ? |
| A68805 | Art thou in temptation, or wrestling with God, as Iacob? |
| A68805 | Art thou secure? |
| A68805 | Art thou weake? |
| A68805 | Besides, prayer is a seeking of God: and canst thou find him whom thou seekest, while thou runnest from him who seeketh thee? |
| A68805 | But Christ is in heaven: how shall I have his presence? |
| A68805 | But after death comes judgement, and how shal I stand before the Iudge? |
| A68805 | But art thou a Disciple, and livest in uncharitablenesse, envie, malice, slandering, lying, or any the like sin? |
| A68805 | But canst thou be a Disciple( except a Judas) that findest as much sweetnesse in the word of Christ, as in the white of an egge? |
| A68805 | But first, hast thou none? |
| A68805 | But for the fourth generall: why doth David desire to bee taught of God? |
| A68805 | But for the latter: how long will David keepe the way? |
| A68805 | But hath not God decreed unchangeably what to doe, whom he will teach, whom not? |
| A68805 | But how can Salomon prove this? |
| A68805 | But how long should a man watch in vaine for a ● avorie word concerning Christ, or the salvation of their soules? |
| A68805 | But how may I be encouraged, thus to strive to attaine? |
| A68805 | But how may I by riches promote mine owne salvation? |
| A68805 | But how prove you, that such may flye? |
| A68805 | But how shall I be regarded among those infinite millions of men that shall stand before him? |
| A68805 | But is it not hard to be counted& die for an hereticke? |
| A68805 | But is it not lawfull to eat and drinke? |
| A68805 | But is not the prize the reward of our running? |
| A68805 | But is not this presumption? |
| A68805 | But is the uncharitable wretch led or inhabited by this Spirit, or by the spirit that lusteth after envie? |
| A68805 | But may not many see in their wealth, how they have endangered& hazzarded their souls? |
| A68805 | But must our obedience and service be mercenary? |
| A68805 | But must wee not imitate the Saints? |
| A68805 | But oh what an hard taske is it, to bring a man rightly to know his estate? |
| A68805 | But shall hypocrites and Idolaters get before us in selfe- deniall? |
| A68805 | But shall none save his life, but he that loseth it? |
| A68805 | But thirdly, why doth David call the word the way of Gods statutes? |
| A68805 | But was not this glory Christs owne, in which he shall appeare? |
| A68805 | But what are the signes or markes of selfe- deniall? |
| A68805 | But what if the prison- doore be left open, as sometime it may be, or hath been? |
| A68805 | But when is this medicine applyed? |
| A68805 | But when it comes so close to us, as to lead us out of our owne reason, wisedome and judgement, what an hard province proves it? |
| A68805 | But when must we runne? |
| A68805 | But when shall he come? |
| A68805 | But where is now the marke? |
| A68805 | But where is our submitting one to another, and that better esteeming of every one, than of our selves? |
| A68805 | But where may we have him? |
| A68805 | But wherein shall this glorie appeare? |
| A68805 | But whither shall he come? |
| A68805 | But who would not give his life for Christ? |
| A68805 | But why doe not wee more rejoyce in these things, the benefit of which more redoundeth to us, than to them? |
| A68805 | But why doth Christ ordinarily, speaking of himselfe, call himselfe the sonne of man? |
| A68805 | But why doth the Apostle draw his argument from prophane games, used among heathens in honour of their Idols? |
| A68805 | But why is he so earnest, being a man of so deepe knowledge and understanding already? |
| A68805 | But why is it called the cross? |
| A68805 | But why is this the scope of a godly man in learning Gods statutes? |
| A68805 | But why? |
| A68805 | Can God heare thee praying, who rejectest his Word? |
| A68805 | Can a man by all his wealth buy a good nights sleepe? |
| A68805 | Can a man grapple thornes together, and not feare pricking? |
| A68805 | Can a man walk on snares safely? |
| A68805 | Can a servant please his Master, or a wife her husband, who denies not her selfe, and subjects not her will to his? |
| A68805 | Can not they sit up one halfe how re later, or rise one halfe how re sooner, to redeeme one how re for their everlasting good? |
| A68805 | Can they be good subjects, that will not know their Princes lawes, that burne the Statute- bookes, and their expounders too? |
| A68805 | Canst thou call on him, on whom thou beleevest not? |
| A68805 | Canst thou pray without teaching and hearing? |
| A68805 | Christi nomen ind ● ere,& non per Christi viam pergere, quid aliud quàm praevaricatio est divini nominis, quàm desertio i ● meris salutaris? |
| A68805 | Consider; wilt thou pray to an unknowne God, or a God whom thou wilt not know? |
| A68805 | Could all the rich mans wealth hold his soule one night? |
| A68805 | Dei filius sustinuit ignominiam crucis:& tu beatos putas, qui soelicita ● ● ● tius seculi& deliciis per 〈 … 〉 untur? |
| A68805 | Did Christ so? |
| A68805 | Doe not Princes fall like others, and these gods dye like men? |
| A68805 | Doest thou then cleave to the means of growth in grace,& listen attentively to the word of Christ? |
| A68805 | Doest thou trust him for the salvation of thy soule, and not for the provision of thy body? |
| A68805 | Doth Christs example bind us to dye for our brethren? |
| A68805 | Even so, when thou carest not( in comparison) for any higher joyes, than those that runne into thy senses, what art thou but a Christian Atheist? |
| A68805 | Finally, what a comfortable thing is it, to beare Christs crosse? |
| A68805 | Findest thou thy heart bowed downward, and fixed on earth with full desires? |
| A68805 | For first, we are bound by the law of Creation to serve God: and is therefore the vow and promise of Baptisme superfluous? |
| A68805 | For if the just shall shine in the glory which shall obscure the Sunne in the Firmament, how shall their justifier shine in glory? |
| A68805 | For the second generall Whose be they? |
| A68805 | For the second: what is meant by the comming of this Kingdome? |
| A68805 | For what is a man profited, if hee shall gaine the whole world, and lose his owne soule? |
| A68805 | For what shal it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his owne soule? |
| A68805 | For why? |
| A68805 | For, if the pleasures of our prison bee so sweet, what are those in our palace? |
| A68805 | For, who thinkes not his reason neerer him than his religion? |
| A68805 | God forbid: how should he then judge the world? |
| A68805 | God is our life, and the maintainer of it: Why then doest thou not cast over thy care to him, and confine it to the day? |
| A68805 | Hast thou faith? |
| A68805 | Hast thou falne in 〈 … 〉 y way? |
| A68805 | Hast thou received the first fruits of glory? |
| A68805 | Hath God then taught thee this way? |
| A68805 | Hath his Father established him on his Throne, and set his King on Sion, and will the rebels displace him? |
| A68805 | Have those learned selfe- deniall, that measure their religion by their gettings, but will be sure to bee no losers by it? |
| A68805 | He made the mouth; and will he not give meat? |
| A68805 | Hee gave his Sonne for thy soule; will hee then deny food for the body? |
| A68805 | Hee gave thee thy body, will hee not give rayment also? |
| A68805 | Hee hath given himselfe for us, and will giue himselfe to us: and shall not we give our selves to him? |
| A68805 | How can a man runne through a thicket, or stiffe ● lay? |
| A68805 | How can we sinke, having so many shoulders under our burden? |
| A68805 | How can wee follow Christ, seeing he is in heaven, and we on earth? |
| A68805 | How carefull are wise men of their health, to prevent sickenesse? |
| A68805 | How carefull will a man bee of falling into a whirlepit, where if good helpe come not in time, hee is sure to bee drowned? |
| A68805 | How comes it then to passe, that men are so carelesse, and passe over these great woes as a tale that is told? |
| A68805 | How comes this to passe, seeing they are his, that is, Christs Angels? |
| A68805 | How doe most men feare the losse of the world, more than the losse of Gods favour, their soules, and salvation? |
| A68805 | How doe they more grieve and sorrow in a trifling losse of the world, than when by sinne Gods favour and the grace of Christ is forfeited? |
| A68805 | How doth Moses, learned to admiration, debase himselfe, and derogate from himselfe, when God calleth him? |
| A68805 | How earnestly doe blind men ● esire to see the light? |
| A68805 | How glad are men when they have out- stood a bodily weakedesse? |
| A68805 | How glad was David when he had beene stopped in his rage against Nabal? |
| A68805 | How glorious and magnificent was the giving of the Law? |
| A68805 | How instant were they in preaching, writing, disputing, and suffering, and all to set up the Son of man glorious in his kingdome? |
| A68805 | How many do highly conceit of themselves,& are well conceited of by others, because they are rich? |
| A68805 | How many looke backe to the profits, honor, ease, or favour of the world, as Iudas and Demas? |
| A68805 | How many others who will not follow Christ in the Word, are given up to follow the world, and the course of the world? |
| A68805 | How may I doe so? |
| A68805 | How may I know it? |
| A68805 | How may we testifie our love to Christ? |
| A68805 | How may wee doe this? |
| A68805 | How much more the Son of man, which is but a worme? |
| A68805 | How safe was Israel under the pillar in the wildernes? |
| A68805 | How safe were they from enemies under the guidance of Joshua, leading them to Canaan? |
| A68805 | How should I prepare duely? |
| A68805 | How should it excite us to love him, and admire his goodnes? |
| A68805 | How should this stirre up the Ministers to diligence in preaching, so to feede and save soules? |
| A68805 | How then may a Christian rightly use these good things? |
| A68805 | How then shall the whole brightnesse of it so swallow up the Saints, as that they shall ever thinke it good to be where Hee is, to see his glory? |
| A68805 | How then should wee hold our selves bound in way of thankfulnesse, if wee had a thousand lives, to give them up for him? |
| A68805 | How unlike is it to the Angels, to rejoyce in evill, in sinfull courses and companie? |
| A68805 | How unreasonable a motion were it, to call men to a fast of 12. dayes together? |
| A68805 | How vaine is it then to expect a paradise of delight, in the time of our prison or pilgrimage? |
| A68805 | How? |
| A68805 | If Christians should doe so, what kinde of bookes would they be? |
| A68805 | If God should make windowes in heaven, could this come to passe? |
| A68805 | If we see our Generall deny himselfe, take up his crosse, obey his Father, love his brethren, is it not equall that wee doe the like? |
| A68805 | Is God unrighteous? |
| A68805 | Is a garland of flowers denyed to him that loves his ease better than the toyle of the race; and is the Crowne of eternall life given without labour? |
| A68805 | Is any man whole? |
| A68805 | Is it not extremity of folly, to make a tush of sinne, and to take pleasure and delight in it? |
| A68805 | Is it not hee that chooseth weake things to confound the mighty? |
| A68805 | Is it not then lawfull to labour for riches, for our selves and ours to live well and honestly in the world? |
| A68805 | Is not Christ kept out,& his Spirit beaten out by the god of the world? |
| A68805 | Is not the Word a dead letter to them, or choaked in them? |
| A68805 | Is not this to undervalue Christ in comparison of the world? |
| A68805 | Is our Towne so afflicted, our poore so destitute, and yet we still feed up our hearts with merriments and pastimes? |
| A68805 | Is our suffering a part of Christs crosse? |
| A68805 | Is the Church of God in distresse? |

| A68805 | Is there not as much crop of the seed sowne in a thicket, or a thorne hedge, as of fruits of grace from them? |
| A68805 | Israel professed, that whatsoever the Lord commanded they would doe: here were good words: but how often did they tempt him in the Desart? |
| A68805 | It is no safe jesting with edged tooles, and to east darts and fire- brands, and say, Am I not in jest? |

| A68805 | May we not say now, their riches& cares are thorns to them? |
| A68805 | More: how careful should every one be for his owne soule, which is here prized at so deare a rate? |
| A68805 | Nay, who is it that can perswade these high and strange things with such certainty, as the simple Beleever- dares, and doth dye in defence of them? |
| A68805 | Next, of the relation, his Angells: how are they his? |
| A68805 | Next, what is it to take up the crosse? |
| A68805 | Next, what is it, that makes the soule, once lost, irrecoverable? |
| A68805 | Next, why must we runne this race? |
| A68805 | Now if hee bee our root, why draw wee not vertue from him? |
| A68805 | Now what an honour is it, that these glorious spirits who dwell in heaven, should serve them that dwell on earth, yea dwelt lately in the grave? |

| A68805 | Of thine owne present apprehension of that day: if now the mention of this day make thee out of guiltines to tremble, what shall the day it selfe doe? |
| A68805 | Of what validitie were all those exhortations, to watch and be warie, because wee know not the houre, unlesse the time were concealed? |
| A68805 | Of whether of these doth our text meane? |
| A68805 | Oh the wofull estate of such persons, when the presence of God and of Christ is the greatest torment ● yet how can it be other? |
| A68805 | On the other side, is the soule so precious? |
| A68805 | Or can the sonnes of God, when Abraham himselfe hath not wherein to rejoyce before God? |
| A68805 | Or if they were so profitable to better a mans person, why did not Christ furnish his Disciples with them? |

| A68805 | What had become of thee, that wilt beare no infirmitie in thy brethren, if he had not stouped to beare all thine? |
| A68805 | What hope of his attaining the marke before him, that goeth backward? |
| A68805 | What if the way be rough& asperous,& as a fowle lane? |
| A68805 | What is the man that feareth the Lord? |
| A68805 | What is the sound preaching of the Gospell, but the key of the Kingdome, given into the hand of Pastors to open the doore of heaven to beleevers? |

| A68805 | to commit things against reason and nature? |
| A68805 | what an extreme madnesse then is it, for men so to live as if they had no soules? |
| A68805 | what had beene thy lot, who wilt shew no mercie nor bowells of love in the distresses of the Saints? |
| A68805 | what is required in taking up the crosse? |
| A68805 | what may wee? |
| A68805 | what more precious than the blood of him that was God? |
| A68805 | what passengers have so faire a way? |
| A68805 | what worldly- wise man can yeeld to that of the Apostle, That he must become a foole to bee wise? |
| A68805 | when all secrets shall be revealed, as packes and fardels are opened in the market ●: Oh? |
| A68805 | when could we perswade men to it? |
| A68805 | where learnest thou this of Christ? |
| A68805 | whereas, what an unseemely thing is ignorance of Gods statutes to a man, either as a man, or as a Christian? |
| A68805 | who art thou that risest against the truth of God? |
| A68805 | who can save a lost man? |
| A68805 | why are false prophets set up at Jezabels table, and Elias the meane time in commons with ravens? |
| A68805 | why did hee forbid them to possesse gold or silver? |
| A68805 | why doth Nabal abound in superfluitie, and David become his petitioner for some reliefe? |
| A68805 | why doth Pharaoh sit on the throne, and his Iust is his law, and Moses and Aaron humble suiters unto him? |
| A68805 | why hate wee and scorne such, as most partake in Christs victory, and are set out of the divels power? |
| A68805 | why must Judas have the bagge, while Peter saith, Gold and silver have I none? |
| A68805 | why should the children of this world be wiser in their generations than the children of light? |
| A68805 | why? |
| A68805 | will they wrong and resist him, whom the Lord hath set up? |
| A68805 | would they stick to Christ, crowned with thornes, who when hee weares a golden Crowne, thinke it good policie not to bee seene with him? |
| A68805 | yea and teach us to esteeme the rebukes of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt? |
| A68805 | yea, to see in some sort the unsearchable depths of Gods wisedome and knowledge? |
| A13554 | 1.16? |
| A13554 | 1? |
| A13554 | 2. Who can repaire nature depraved, but the Authour of nature? |
| A13554 | 2. to beleeve lies, but that they received not the truth in the love of it? |
| A13554 | 2.1? |
| A13554 | 3. Who it is that hath called them? |
| A13554 | 3.3? |
| A13554 | 4 For thy own person: do these fashions argue thee to be a beleever, whose cheif care is to adorne the soule? |
| A13554 | A precept or commandement, calling for obedience: What I command, that doe onely: else will be said, Who required these things at your hands? |
| A13554 | According to the text, Try all things: And can he be too strict or curious that must try every thing, even the least? |
| A13554 | An ex personis probamus fidem, an ex fide personas? |
| A13554 | And I, saith the poore man, can spare no time as the rich may doe, I am oppressed with a great charge, and must intend my family,& c? |
| A13554 | And can we beholde any creature, and not see in it the expresse prints and markes of our owne sinne, which still must adde to our griefe? |
| A13554 | And for what prayeth he? |
| A13554 | And good reason: for 1. in the beginning of this worke man is meerely passive: for what can a dead man doe to his owne quickning and raising? |
| A13554 | And if they faile herein, are they not guilty of all his defects which they complaine of? |
| A13554 | And is not this like effectuall calling? |
| A13554 | And shall Christians onely looke on these things as they, to make our selves inexcusable? |
| A13554 | And shall not beleevers in the new Testament honour the Prophets of the new Testament, who as good lampes consume themselves to give others light? |
| A13554 | And shall the wicked in their companies abet and further one another in evill, and shal not good men in good? |
| A13554 | And what Doctour or Pastour of the Church is any whit comparable to Saint Paul? |
| A13554 | And what a rule is that which Turkes and Infidels can truly alledge for their religion? |
| A13554 | And what comfort is there of temporary faith, which giveth over when there is most neede of it? |
| A13554 | And what reason hath the Lord to minister comfort, and benefit by a man, when it is never desired? |
| A13554 | And what thinkest thou? |
| A13554 | And whether darest thou say, thou glorifiest God by them? |
| A13554 | And whither are wee called? |
| A13554 | And who else can revive the heart, but he that made it? |
| A13554 | And why? |
| A13554 | And why? |
| A13554 | Are all things to be tried without restraint or limitation? |
| A13554 | Are not the numbers of Papists increased upon us, notwithstanding all the lawes against them? |
| A13554 | Are not their workes objected against them, the workes of God imposed by God upon all Christians upon paine of damnation? |
| A13554 | Are the Sacraments but as seales set to blankes without this assurance, and is it yet needlesse? |
| A13554 | Are there not they that mingle not a little leaven, but abundance of poyson of Popery, and father it upon our Church? |
| A13554 | Are these the sonnes of Abraham, or the sonnes of God, and not rather the profane sonnes of profane Esau? |
| A13554 | Art thou a Minister? |
| A13554 | Art thou a hearer, and wouldest have comfort of hearing, what doest thou affect in hearing? |
| A13554 | Art thou contemned? |
| A13554 | Art thou in banishment? |
| A13554 | Art thou in prison? |
| A13554 | Art thou poore in earthly blessings, and wilt thou not therefore be rich in heavenly and spirituall graces? |
| A13554 | Art thou sure thy conscience is neither erronious nor doubtfull? |
| A13554 | Before effectuall calling, oh how did he delight and joy in his sinne? |
| A13554 | Beholde the word of God is to them a reproach, why? |
| A13554 | Besides, will not any say, that hee understands better by interpretation of things, than by bare reading? |
| A13554 | Bring the Doctrine to this Rule: Wee aske, If God have elected and Christ have redeemed every particular man, why is not every particular man saved? |
| A13554 | But are these hated of God? |
| A13554 | But art thou effectually called? |
| A13554 | But art thou poore and wantest many necessaries? |
| A13554 | But aske such men, what was the text of the last Sermon you heard but two dayes agoe? |
| A13554 | But did ever any of them accuse the Scripture to be a nose of waxe? |
| A13554 | But doth not a bad conscience shew some remorse after sinne: what else did Iudas? |
| A13554 | But for whom prayeth he? |
| A13554 | But hee is omnipotent, fills both heaven and earth: Whither shall I flie from thy presence? |
| A13554 | But how can one coale alone by it selfe keepe it selfe glowing? |
| A13554 | But how farre we from this, among whom it is so hard to finde a faithfull friend, who in civill things will sticke to a man in adversity? |
| A13554 | But how generall is the profession of religion without power? |
| A13554 | But how may I know it? |
| A13554 | But if the Thessalonians shall persevere till the comming of Christ, why doth the Apostle pray so earnestly? |
| A13554 | But is it not necessary to follow our callings, to provide for our families, and intend our civill businesse and occasions? |
| A13554 | But may a man alwayes know the time of his calling and conversion? |
| A13554 | But now how generally are we fallen from the love of the Gospell, and turned religion into formality, and policie? |
| A13554 | But now thou seest a difference made: and who hath made this difference? |
| A13554 | But shall the word be a rule to our judgement, and not to our practise? |
| A13554 | But strength is his, nothing can resist him: Is any thing impossible to God? |
| A13554 | But true feare of God saith as Ioseph, Hath my Master done this for me, and shall I doe this? |
| A13554 | But what a folly is this? |
| A13554 | But what doe we now? |
| A13554 | But what was their sinne to the sinne of these in our dayes? |
| A13554 | But where may I come to this assurance? |
| A13554 | By dishonouring him in his owne Temple: can a man indure to be wronged in his owne house? |
| A13554 | By not following and fostering his motions: who would not be grieved to see his counsell despised? |
| A13554 | By what Law is boasting excluded? |
| A13554 | By what ordinary meanes did the Apostle discerne it? |
| A13554 | By what should causes be tryed but by the Lawes of the Body Civill where they doe arise? |
| A13554 | Can a blinde man be restored to sight, and not know it? |
| A13554 | Can a man be quickened with heavenly life, and move and walke towards heaven, and not know it? |
| A13554 | Can a watch- man of a Citty or Castle be corrupted or surprized by the enemy, and the Citty be safe? |
| A13554 | Can any thing be more opprobrious unto Christ than to transforme him into an harlot? |
| A13554 | Can any thing derogate more from his glory and majesty, or be more contrary to his most holy nature? |
| A13554 | Can grace be wholly quenched or decay where it is? |
| A13554 | Can hee that is dead, cold Lazarus be raised to life after foure dayes, and move, and walke, and doe all the actions of life, and not know it? |
| A13554 | Can the shepheards be smitten, and the sheepe not be scattered? |
| A13554 | Can vision faile, and people not perish? |
| A13554 | Canst thou finde no time for the Lords worke? |
| A13554 | Carefully save that which is gotten, avoiding expences,& much more excesses? |
| A13554 | Did Paul need their prayers for that purpose, and doe not ordinary Ministers much more? |
| A13554 | Did Saul ever doe so till God was gone from him? |
| A13554 | Did ever any, or can ever any attaine to this perfection? |
| A13554 | Doe not some question now the grounds of Religion, and dispute our Catechisme, which Turkes dare not doe? |
| A13554 | Doe not they call the Bible the booke of heretickes? |
| A13554 | Doest thou expect him from heaven, and is not thy conversation there? |
| A13554 | Doest thou feare falling away? |
| A13554 | Doest thou pray for remission of sinnes, and not beleeve it? |
| A13554 | Doest thou professe in the Creed, thou beleevest remission of thy sinnes, and by not caring to beleeve it, give the lie to thy profession? |
| A13554 | Doth Stapleton still doubt that those that have received true grace shall fall away? |
| A13554 | Doth any man build an house, but he will looke to dwell in it? |
| A13554 | Doth any plant an orchard or vineyard, and not looke for usefull fruites to himselfe? |
| A13554 | Doth it beseeme that profession which is heavenly? |
| A13554 | Doth it beseeme the Gospell, or a beleever, to runne in post hast to Satan? |
| A13554 | Doth nature teach a man to be ashamed of a verball lie, and doth not grace much more of an actuall? |
| A13554 | Doth not the example of Paul shew it to be lawfull enough, to continue fasting upon a Saboth day till midnight, to heare the word of God? |
| A13554 | Doth the Apostle say that hee that knowes not that Iesus Christ is in him, is a reprobate, and is it an idle or a needlesse thing to prove it? |
| A13554 | Doth the word preached command thee to beleeve in the Lord Iesus Christ, and that thy Redeemer liveth, who loved thee, and gave himselfe for thee? |
| A13554 | Doth this action relish of heavenly- mindednesse, and of a conversation without covetousnesse? |
| A13554 | Doth this action savour of holinesse? |
| A13554 | Enviest thou for my sake? |
| A13554 | Every man will be contented to swallow much paines for a little earthly profit, and is the state of heaven worth no labour? |
| A13554 | Fifthly, want wee examples to encourage us? |
| A13554 | Findest thou want of strength in temptation? |
| A13554 | First, hath hee not specially manifested his hatred against an outward forme of religion, severed from the power and life of it? |
| A13554 | First, the state of Christianity is rather a willing, than a doing the will of God: thou that canst doe no more, wouldst thou doe lesse? |
| A13554 | For shaking of the calling, if you speake of the inward calling it is false; for then how should God abide constant to them? |
| A13554 | For the circumstances: hast thou an eye to adorne thy profession, with thy body? |
| A13554 | For the second: Whether a man once called alwayes know his calling? |
| A13554 | For the third, why is he called the God of peace? |
| A13554 | For the third: What be these parts mentioned, spirit, soule, body? |
| A13554 | For thinke we that the Spirit renewes us onely within and not without? |
| A13554 | For what man will not delight in any base lust, when hee shall not onely not feare reproofe, but be commended and graced in it? |
| A13554 | For what would the gaine of the whole world profite him that hath lost his owne soule? |
| A13554 | For, first, What man in any outward title or tenure will content himselfe with uncertainties, if he may be certaine of a good estate? |
| A13554 | For, how can he confesse all his sinnes, which himselfe can not understand? |
| A13554 | Fourthly, Can a man have any comfort of any action or duty of Christianity, for which hee wants a calling? |
| A13554 | Fourthly, sinnes in action doe quench the Spirit exceedingly: how did David after his sinnes of adultery and murther lose the feeling of the Spirit? |
| A13554 | Fourthly, who would sowe his field, not to reape his seede againe? |
| A13554 | God hath predestinate us to be made like the image of his Sonne: How and wherein? |
| A13554 | God is strong enough I know: but I am weake, Satan is strong against mee, sinne is strong in me, how then may I holde out? |
| A13554 | Gods approbation and acceptance: who would not be allowed of God? |
| A13554 | Had they no callings, no families, no businesse to intend? |
| A13554 | Had they nothing else to doe? |
| A13554 | Had we not neede then to try diligently the things wee lay hands on, seeing our inclination is so averse and alienate from every good thing? |
| A13554 | Hast thou God in thy presence? |
| A13554 | Hast thou faith, hope, strength, peace of conscience, or comfortable assurance? |
| A13554 | Hast thou little? |
| A13554 | Hast thou much? |
| A13554 | Hast thou no house, land nor inheritance to rejoyce in? |
| A13554 | Hath Christ prayed his father to keepe thee? |
| A13554 | Hath the faithfull Lord covenanted wrath with the sinner? |
| A13554 | Have they not burned Christian men for having them? |
| A13554 | Having got a good portion, yet still desire and seeke more? |
| A13554 | Hearest thou his word let fly plagues as thicke as haile against the transgressours, and thinkest thou to escape? |
| A13554 | Hearest thou that a large booke of curses comes flying into the house of the swearer, and darest thou sweare? |
| A13554 | How acceptable is our obedience to him when wee are holy as hee is holy, mercifull as hee is mercifull; when we walke in love as he hath loved us? |
| A13554 | How can a Christian be so simple as to please himselfe as much with few graces as with many? |
| A13554 | How can this but extremely quench the spirit, whose motions all the while are resisted? |
| A13554 | How canst thou finde without seeking? |
| A13554 | How canst thou say thou lovest mee, and keepest this thing from me? |
| A13554 | How carefull will an husbandman be to preserve a tree of delicate and precious fruite? |
| A13554 | How could he be the onely true Prophet, if hee left halfe the will of his Father unrevealed, but lapt up in obscure Traditions? |
| A13554 | How could he satisfie his Propheticall office, if he deteined from his Church some Doctrine needful for her to know? |
| A13554 | How dare men fall off from the truth of the Gospell to Popery or profanesse after the knowledge of it? |
| A13554 | How desperately doe numbers resist and repell the true and faithfull word? |
| A13554 | How did David and Peter disturbe their peace by foule sinnes? |
| A13554 | How did the Divell use a tongue otherwise than in lying and deceiving? |
| A13554 | How doth hee marry in the Lord, who marries the Lords enemie? |
| A13554 | How doth the holy Apostle esteeme of all things losse and dung, in comparison of Christ in the meanes? |
| A13554 | How doth the love of the world draw on a number of sinnes, and drowne men in lusts and perdition? |
| A13554 | How few refine every part of their life, and bring all the members within the whole rule? |
| A13554 | How full of uncomfortablenesse is their Doctrine concerning the Word and Sacraments, the speciall meanes ordeined for our strength and comfort? |
| A13554 | How generall is the hatred of grace, by gracelesse men that pinch and reproach good affections? |
| A13554 | How generally doe we love and cherish in our selves what the Lord hateth? |
| A13554 | How is this perverted? |
| A13554 | How is this to try all things? |
| A13554 | How knew the Apostle they were chosen, and effectually called? |
| A13554 | How many be there, who have made some faire offers of beginning in the Spirit, but have ended in the flesh? |
| A13554 | How may I know my will thus denied, renewed, freed, and framed to God? |
| A13554 | How must wee conceive God to be faithfull? |
| A13554 | How shal I know that God hath given mee the spirit of adoption? |
| A13554 | How shall I know if the Spirit be quenched, or no? |
| A13554 | How shall we bolt out the truth? |
| A13554 | How should we conceive that the heavens and earth were created of nothing? |
| A13554 | How should wee beleeve that our bodies cloathed with corruption, and wrapped in deaths garments, should rise againe to eternall life? |
| A13554 | How suddenly was David snatched into foulest sinnes not watching his affections? |
| A13554 | How suffered the Lord Ierusalem the holy City to be burnt, the Arke the most holy place to be carried captive when they were profaned? |
| A13554 | How sweetely would all Gods ordinances relish and taste, ordained for this end? |
| A13554 | How the Apostle knew that they were called? |
| A13554 | How thrifty husbands, 1. forecast to get, and plod to increase their stocke? |
| A13554 | How was Peter pulled from his purposes and promises by inordinate selfe- love to the deniall of his Master? |
| A13554 | How will it stand with wisdome to be curious in trisles, and in every outward thing be it never so small, and yet neglect the greatest? |
| A13554 | How? |
| A13554 | I know hee is able too: But will hee keepe me? |
| A13554 | If a Popish Minister doe baptise a child, must he be rebaptised? |
| A13554 | If this practise was commendable in auncient beleevers, how can it be but praise- worthy in us? |
| A13554 | If thou keepe not thy watch in the Temple, if thou look not to the holy lights and fire, morning and evening, how will the Spirit be kept? |
| A13554 | If we, or an Angell from heaven bring any other Doctrine, holde him accursed? |
| A13554 | In matter of practise; what if any thing come backed with the example of great men, or of the generall multitude, and the custome of the times? |
| A13554 | In respect of the world: what a change is there in a man effectually called? |
| A13554 | Is God faithfull? |
| A13554 | Is a graine of grace so precious, and is not an eternall weight of it worth our sweate and labour? |
| A13554 | Is all thy care for a ruinous house, and never mindest the tenant within? |
| A13554 | Is any losse so irrecoverable, so irrepairable? |
| A13554 | Is any man richer, because he dreames he is rich? |
| A13554 | Is any thing so exposed to robbers and spoylers, so many, so vigilant, so resolutely bent to mischiefe thee? |
| A13554 | Is any worldly businesse of greater importance than the seeking of Gods favour, and the assurance of a mans owne salvation? |
| A13554 | Is godlines great gain:& fearest thou it wil only bring want& poverty? |
| A13554 | Is it because there is no God in Israel? |
| A13554 | Is it not a description of ancient beleevers, to thinke on his name? |
| A13554 | Is not a stocke of grace better than a stocke of goods? |
| A13554 | Is not the example as wicked as the action, and the hurt to others more than the advantage to thy selfe? |
| A13554 | Is not the fall of the Minister commonly the ruine of the people? |
| A13554 | Is not this a disparagement to our Teachers, and to the truth which should be freely embraced? |
| A13554 | Is not thy charge straighter to keepe thy soule than any thing else? |
| A13554 | Is that lyable to examination? |
| A13554 | Is there any doubt but that the godly shall be kept unblameable till that day? |
| A13554 | Is thine eye evill because mine is good? |
| A13554 | Is this our judgement, and shall we slippe from it in our practise? |
| A13554 | Is thy expectation of a peace outward, in outward things? |
| A13554 | Is thy lot and portion other than the Disciples of Christ, or Christ himselfe? |
| A13554 | It is a worke of new creation: who can create a new heart but he? |
| A13554 | It is an hardening to Gods enemies; for it makes the Papists boast, and say, if our Baptisme be good, why joyne yee not with our Church? |
| A13554 | It is the Lord, as saith Eli, and not as Pharaoh, Who is the Lord? |
| A13554 | It shall one day be said to him, Why takest thou my law into thy mouth? |
| A13554 | Know yee not that Christ is in you,( namely by his Spirit) unlesse ye be reprobates? |
| A13554 | Lay out part or whole of that he hath, for a greater gaine? |
| A13554 | Looke at God, it holds Gods affection to us: how well is the Lord pleased when our desires and affections are conformable to his? |
| A13554 | Lord, what wouldest thou have mee to doe? |
| A13554 | May not a beleever know his owne faith, and thereby his calling, which ever goes with inward calling? |
| A13554 | May not a man be at idolatrous service, and keepe his heart to God? |
| A13554 | Might a Iew make a journey on the Sabboth to consult with a Prophet, and may not a Christian steppe out of his doores for counsell in the week- day? |
| A13554 | Must onely that hinder our thrift and prosperitie, that hath the promise of this life as well as of that to come? |
| A13554 | My conscience( I thanke God) is quiet and still: but how may I know it to be true and sound peace, that I may rest in it, and be thankfull for it? |
| A13554 | My soule hateth your feasts and new Moones, his owne institutions, because they were severed from faith, truth, and inward holinesse? |
| A13554 | Nay are they not in singular favour with him? |
| A13554 | Nay the Angels in heaven, what better were they for their absolute Angelicall happinesse, when they left their first habitation? |
| A13554 | Now if these be the markes of proceeding in sanctification, how rare is this duty? |
| A13554 | Now of the third generall: Who must try all these things? |
| A13554 | Now our bodies are the Temples of the holy Ghost; and where should God be glorified and praised, and receive oblations, but in his owne Temple? |
| A13554 | Now when a man hath with such difficulty got the Spirit into his soule, shall he by quenching him lose his labour? |
| A13554 | Now who dare blame this desire in them which the spirit of God commendeth? |
| A13554 | Oh never content thy selfe with good beginnings in the spirit to end in the flesh: Oh foolish Galathian, wilt thou suffer so many things in vaine? |
| A13554 | Or can a man be an agent or accessary in the corrupting and surprizing a Captaine set to keepe a Fort, without treason to his Prince? |
| A13554 | Or canst thou thinke the Lord Iesus can be put on together with such fashions? |
| A13554 | Or doth it beseeme the profession of holinesse, to runne through all lightfashions? |
| A13554 | Or how holdes he under his hand in their falls? |
| A13554 | Or should wee hide our talent in a napkin, and not lay it out, or employ it, seeing by use and returne it increaseth? |
| A13554 | Or thinke we our hearts lesse barren than the worst conditioned ground? |
| A13554 | Or this, There is poyson prepared, therefore I scorne a preservative? |
| A13554 | Or what an awke and unreasonable conclusion is this; There be many slippes in mettalls, and therefore I scorne the touch- stone? |
| A13554 | Or whence is it, that what was praise worthy in them, should be blame worthy and scorned amongst us? |
| A13554 | Or who is so absurd as to conclude thus in civill things? |
| A13554 | Or why else hath he set apart a whole day in seaven, especially for meditation, if it were not a notable meanes to excite grace? |
| A13554 | Our bodies they are his, by creation, redemption and preservation; and should not every workmanship serve to the use of the workeman? |
| A13554 | Papists doubt whether the Saints shall lose their grace, but where then is Gods faithfulnesse, who shall confirme them in grace to the end? |
| A13554 | Salomon fell by the company of outlandish wives, and shall we looke to stand where he fell? |
| A13554 | Savours it of heavenly contemplation, or base earthlinesse? |

| A13538 | And is it now so darke, as no man can see his way by it? |
| A13538 | And is not God the same, promising and performing mercie to them that confesse their sinnes and forsake them? |
| A13538 | And is not this promise conditionall? |
| A13538 | And is there any neede of such firebrands and incentiues of lust? |
| A13538 | And is this so? |
| A13538 | And it is a way most vncomfortable: for, can a man meete with the comforts of God, while his way is contrarie to Gods? |
| A13538 | And seeing in the euent the Citie was not destroyed, shall a blacke mouth step out and say, God commanded them to beleeue a lye? |
| A13538 | And to conclude, how little are our hearts stirred to thankesgiuing vnder crosses and afflictions? |
| A13538 | And were it not for speciall application, we should please men well enough: but, first, are we enemies for speaking the truth? |
| A13538 | And what be the reasons that the godly finde not the Lord alwaies? |
| A13538 | And what is the reason hereof? |
| A13538 | And what is the reason of all this? |
| A13538 | And what matter, whether the ship bee cast away at once by violent tempests, or drowned by drops and degrees? |
| A13538 | And when he asked God, if he had forgot to bee mercifull, did he see any way to escape death and danger? |
| A13538 | And who be they towards, whom the Lord thinketh thoughts of peace, or, to whom he will remember mercy, but vessels of mercy? |
| A13538 | And why doth not the Lord giue one man all graces, or to all a like measure, but diuersly, but that he intendeth the mutuall good of each person? |
| A13538 | And why doth the Lord lay such heauie things vpon his children? |
| A13538 | And why is this so? |
| A13538 | And why was Paul so carefull, lest while he preached saluation to others, himselfe should be reprobate? |
| A13538 | And why? |
| A13538 | And would not a man thinke him a mocker, that should say to a stone, Beleeue, which he knowes can not? |
| A13538 | And, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A13538 | And, can an enemie of God, an impenitent sinner haue the face, or any hope to goe to God for safetie and hiding? |
| A13538 | And, were it fit for a subiect by poste to send for the King? |
| A13538 | Are these the fruits of so long hearing, of praying, and cōming to Church? |
| A13538 | Are these the lessons thou learnest? |
| A13538 | Are wee not commanded to be soft and gentle vnto all men, and to instruct them with all meekenesse, considering our selues were once deceiued? |
| A13538 | Art thou a willing slaue to it? |
| A13538 | Art thou in any trouble, or vnder any molestation of Satan or wicked men, vnder reproch, scandall, hatred, persecution,& c? |
| A13538 | Art thou sicke in thy soule, or pained in thy body, and seest no way but present death? |
| A13538 | Baltazer indeede was merrie, and in his Reuels with his Princes: but what cause had hee, when the Hand- writing appeared on the wall? |
| A13538 | Besides, seest thou not what a fearefull debt one sinne of ADAM hath brought vpon vs all? |
| A13538 | Besides, will it stand with Gods wisedome, to bestow and giue mercy to him that refuseth and despiseth it, or to fill with mercy the vessels of wrath? |
| A13538 | But God is euery- where present, and what neede wee seeke him? |
| A13538 | But by what meanes shall I thus keepe my heart? |
| A13538 | But doe not the best finde such deceit in doing good, as that they haue great cause to bewaile it? |
| A13538 | But doe you not thinke now that the false heart hath chosen her selfe good Schoole- masters? |
| A13538 | But hee was fully assured, the Father of the faithfull, and an eminent man: what is that to vs, who are farre behinde him? |
| A13538 | But how are these men wofully deluded, that thinke themselues safest and best, when God is farthest off them? |
| A13538 | But how can a man make his sinnes knowne to God by confession, seeing he knowes them before? |
| A13538 | But how can a man pray for the holy Ghost and obtayne him, when he hath him already? |
| A13538 | But how farre are men from seeing their estate? |
| A13538 | But how is this remission of sinne free, if wee can not haue it without these conditions of faith, repentance, confession,& c? |
| A13538 | But how is this remission sealed vp vnto them? |
| A13538 | But how may we make God our hiding place? |
| A13538 | But how shall I come to haue experience of God? |
| A13538 | But how shall I know, that God will bee my hiding place? |
| A13538 | But how standeth this with all those euills and miseries, with which the godly are beset in this life? |
| A13538 | But how will all this stand with those many places of Scripture? |
| A13538 | But in this latter sort doth not the Commaundement of God plainely fight with his decree, when he commandeth that which he would not haue done? |
| A13538 | But is no heart sincere, but that which is without sinne? |
| A13538 | But is not this to delude men, to command them to beleeue who can not beleeue? |
| A13538 | But is this no imputing of sinne, seeing wee pay the whole debt in our surety? |
| A13538 | But is this not to impute sinne, to iudge a sinner as no sinner? |
| A13538 | But many are the woes and miseries of the godly, and therefore what is it better to bee a godly man then a wicked? |
| A13538 | But may we not looke at second causes? |
| A13538 | But now, though the fault bee hainous and too common, what is the reason the multitude so exclames vpon it? |
| A13538 | But seeing God knowes all so well, why must we confesse to him? |
| A13538 | But seeing the wicked are deliuered from troubles as well as the godly, out of many iudgements, what priuiledge is this? |
| A13538 | But sense and reason is against all these your sayings: What? |
| A13538 | But this is strange, that wee must ioy euen in sorrow; how can a man reioyce and sorrow at the same time? |
| A13538 | But vvherein stands this mercy, vvhereunto prayer must be coupled? |
| A13538 | But was not Dauid farre ouerseene, to confesse onely to God? |
| A13538 | But what gets a man by his obstinacie and frowardnesse against God? |
| A13538 | But what hath God promised to any wicked man so persisting? |
| A13538 | But what? |
| A13538 | But whence was this safetie? |
| A13538 | But whether may an vnregenerate Minister saue and conuert a man? |
| A13538 | But why doe the Papists thus cofer vp the Scriptures now? |
| A13538 | But, how can confession be sound, before sin bee pardoned, seeing nothing can be acceptable where sinne is not pardoned? |
| A13538 | By what markes may I try my ioy, whether it be spirituall and in the Lord, or no? |
| A13538 | Call now if any will answere, and to which of the Saints wilt thou turne? |
| A13538 | Can Ministers remooue burdens, giue a couer large enough, and remit anothers debt? |
| A13538 | Can a man, setting himselfe before God, confesse that sinne which he purposeth to liue in and hold and not forsake? |
| A13538 | Can a mother forget her child? |
| A13538 | Can he euer looke to come where God is, and not walke in Gods way? |
| A13538 | Can hee, that is able by the prayer of faith with Israel to preuaile with God, want abundance of blessings? |
| A13538 | Can one man carry both Magistracie and Ministrie? |
| A13538 | Can that man bee other then beset with mercy, who hath a meanes to get within Gods store- house and treasury when hee will? |
| A13538 | Can they be beset both with misery and mercy too? |
| A13538 | Can we looke for a Sea of mercy from God, and will not let one drop fall on our brethren? |
| A13538 | Come to the Drunkard; why? |
| A13538 | Come, Let vs goe downe and see, if it be according to the cry of Sodome: how can hee goe downe, who is euery where? |
| A13538 | Dauid was a King, how then commeth he to professe himselfe a Prophet or Teacher in the Church? |
| A13538 | Did Christ or any of his Apostles bring in the trueth by fire or sword? |
| A13538 | Did God send it for a doctrine of peace? |
| A13538 | Did not Dauid hide himselfe in Woods, in Caues, Holes and Rockes? |
| A13538 | Did not I forgiue thee all? |
| A13538 | Did shee not wallow in her blood and filthinesse? |
| A13538 | Did shee want meanes? |
| A13538 | Diddest thou then euer finde a change in thy selfe, that thou wouldest not for a world bee the same man thou vvast and hold the same courses? |
| A13538 | Doe men neede spurres and prouocations to vnchastitie and filthinesse? |
| A13538 | Doe the godly seeke God in prayer? |
| A13538 | Doe we improue our day of visitation according to the light and meanes that we haue? |
| A13538 | Doe we lacke motiues? |
| A13538 | Doe we trafficke with our talent to our Masters aduantage and not our owne? |
| A13538 | Doe wee walke as redeemed from vaine conuersation? |
| A13538 | Doe you then condemne all confession of man to man? |
| A13538 | Doest thou accomplish and fulfill the lusts of it? |
| A13538 | Doest thou professe seruice to God, and yet let Sinne and Satan toile thee with such infinite burdens, vnder which thou canst not stand? |
| A13538 | Doest thou reioyce to draw thy friend to drinke a cup of poyson? |
| A13538 | Doeth the Lord thus compasse the godly with such mercies? |
| A13538 | Doth any burden of misery or crosse, inward or outward presse thee? |
| A13538 | Doth any sinne oppresse thy conscience? |
| A13538 | Doubting and Faith may stand, and will dwell together; else would not Christ haue said, O thou of little faith, why doubtedst thou? |
| A13538 | Else why was not Sauls sinne remitted, seeing it was confessed? |
| A13538 | Ephraim shall say, What haue I more to doe with Idols? |
| A13538 | Euill is present with me? |
| A13538 | Examine thy selfe by this, hath the flesh and the corruptions of it any dominion ouer thee as a voluntarie vassal? |
| A13538 | Fifthly, he that would build a firme house, must lay a sure foundation; and wilt thou lay the foundation of thy happinesse in the dust? |
| A13538 | Fiftly, What a mercy is it, peculiar to the Saints, to haue peace of conscience, and ioy of their estate? |
| A13538 | Fiftly, must vve praise God for euill, and for affliction, and for taking away? |
| A13538 | Findest thou that thy ignorance pleaseth thee not, and thy will conformeth it selfe to Gods will? |
| A13538 | First, by faith, leaning vpon the promises: For what good can all the promises of God do, being not mingled& tempred with faith? |
| A13538 | First, consider God hath made thee a man, and wilt thou by this propertie debase thy selfe, and equall thy selfe with beasts? |
| A13538 | First, how little doe wee see what vnprofitable seruants wee are, when wee haue done all wee can? |
| A13538 | First, it argues and brings a man into a weake state, which is very comfortlesse: what a grieuous burden is debt aboue a mans abilitie? |
| A13538 | First, this sincere heart brings the person into acceptance with God: for whom doth he approue, but such as walke before him vprightly? |
| A13538 | For the further opening of the wordes, sundrie questions are to be answered, as, First, Why is the Prophet so harsh and sharpe vvith his Scholers? |
| A13538 | For what is this glasse? |
| A13538 | For who euer heard, that chastitie was learned in the Stewes, or honestie at Playes? |
| A13538 | Fourthly, What an inexhaust treasure of mercy is it, that the godly enioy? |
| A13538 | Fourthly, how doe we cast our eyes onely on that, which God can giue, and not vpon that hee hath giuen, or we can receiue? |
| A13538 | Fourthly, how highly doth God esteeme of a man or woman of a broken heart? |
| A13538 | Fourthly, how vnlike are these men vnto God, who sets out sinne in a most odious sort? |
| A13538 | Fourthly, is it so, that God remits onely the sinnes of repentants? |
| A13538 | Fourthly, what can minister true ioy to him, that hath no part in any of Gods Ordinances, which begin and perfect the ioy of Gods people? |
| A13538 | Fourthly, what doe the Scriptures else teach vs, while euery- where they make the particulars of our comfort, fruits of this root? |
| A13538 | Fourthly, where were Gods truth, if he should forgiue the sinnes of impenitent and vnbeleeuing ones? |
| A13538 | Fourthly, who can forgiue sinne but he? |
| A13538 | Further, we must so consider our selues in times past, as wee forget not our selues for the present: Are vvee now healed? |
| A13538 | God first called Adam, and said, Adam, where art thou? |
| A13538 | Had Adam considered of Eues gift, had hee been so deceiued? |
| A13538 | Hast thou then had a care and true desire of reconciliation? |
| A13538 | Hast thou then subiected thy reason, affections, and delights vnto grace? |
| A13538 | Hath hee smitten him as hee smote those that smote him? |
| A13538 | Hath my Lord prouided with so much cost, so great saluation for my soule? |
| A13538 | Hearest thou of a iudgement, or seest thou an approching danger? |
| A13538 | Here in our owne land, what damnable plots, and deuillish designements haue there beene against the persons of our Kings and Princes? |
| A13538 | Hezekiah rested himselfe on this, What shall I say? |
| A13538 | How barbarous were it for a man to abuse him that gently guideth him through a dangerous and vnknowne way? |
| A13538 | How came Dauid to be so confident for future time? |
| A13538 | How can God account of sinne as no sinne? |
| A13538 | How can hee aske mercy, that hath no part in mercy? |
| A13538 | How can sinne bee couered, since God seeth it, and can not but know all things, past, present, and to come? |
| A13538 | How can they make account of safety in danger, who to hide themselues from persecution of the Gospell, leaue it vpon the plaine field? |
| A13538 | How can this be, seeing faith is a full assurance and certaine perswasion? |
| A13538 | How canst thou then claime any one promise( and much lesse all) when thou neuer keptest the least condition of faith and repentance? |
| A13538 | How carryeth he vs in his armes, saues vs from danger, and maintaynes our peace of soule and body, our health and reputation? |
| A13538 | How comes Dauid to this conclusion? |
| A13538 | How did Paul reioice, and wish Philemon to reioice with him, when his runnagate seruant Onesimus was conuerted? |
| A13538 | How did Simeon reioyce, when he had Christ in his armes? |
| A13538 | How doe men forget the great mercies of God, both common and priuate? |
| A13538 | How doe men swallow the mercies of God, as the Swine doe mast, not looking vp to the tree, scarce blessing their meat? |
| A13538 | How doe the deceitfull bewitchings of this world at this day, winde into men professing the Gospell? |
| A13538 | How doe we vnder- prize them, and the commonnesse of mercies lets vs not see the worth of them? |
| A13538 | How doth the Lord rebuke those, who will not acknowledge the hand that smites them? |
| A13538 | How happily might they make exchange of their wanton Sonnets and filthy Ballads with these holy Psalmes? |
| A13538 | How hath he kept vs from diseases? |
| A13538 | How heauie shall his hand lye on those, who with high hand sinne against him? |
| A13538 | How is the Lord the hiding place of the godly? |
| A13538 | How iust was it vpon the Iewes, who were cruell and of bloudy hands, that God should hate their persons and prayers? |
| A13538 | How keepes he vs and ours euery night, and refresheth vs with sleepe? |
| A13538 | How know you that? |
| A13538 | How lamentably doe men abuse their wits, their strength and health to drunkennesse, surfetting, and vncleannesse? |
| A13538 | How many sinnes are there, which God hath not let them know? |
| A13538 | How many such flashes made Pharaoh? |
| A13538 | How many, of vvhich he hath let vs know the pardon? |
| A13538 | How may I know that my sorrow is from God? |
| A13538 | How may I know which is the right way to goe in? |
| A13538 | How much more will a sound Christian, who carries him in his heart? |
| A13538 | How much more will the godly heart aboue all desires, seeke his fauour, and one cheerefull countenance from him? |
| A13538 | How peruert they authoritie to iniustice, wrong, oppression? |
| A13538 | How restored vs out of sicknesse? |
| A13538 | How shall I know the vprightnesse of my heart? |
| A13538 | How shall I know whether my sorrow be godly sorrow, or no? |
| A13538 | How strange did Christ shew himselfe to the woman of Canaan? |
| A13538 | How thankefull would we bee to that man, that would put himselfe betweene vs and some deadly danger? |
| A13538 | How then shall God be iust, who hath said, that he will laugh at such, when their sorrow commeth? |
| A13538 | How vvardeth he vs all the day long, feedes vs, and leades vs in our going in and out? |
| A13538 | How was the poore widdowes oile increased, when shee sowed mercie to Elias in his want? |
| A13538 | How? |
| A13538 | I am then no godly man: for I haue prayed long, and God will not bee found; must I not feare my estate? |
| A13538 | If Abraham had considered the counsell of Sarah, would hee haue taken Agar into his bosome? |
| A13538 | If Eue had considered of the Serpents words, had she, and had we by her been such losers? |
| A13538 | If a malefactor were condemned, and at the place of execution, what is it that would make him happy? |
| A13538 | If a man be going to warre, had he not need cast his accounts, and prepare all necessaries, and fit himselfe against all difficulties? |
| A13538 | If a man or people will reiect the Word of God, what wisedome can be in them? |
| A13538 | If a man should say he would goe from Yorke to London, and yet shall hold the direct way to Barwicke, would not euery man laugh at him? |
| A13538 | If a man should set a great browne Loafe before Children, vvhat good vvould it doe them? |
| A13538 | If iudgement begin at the house of God, what shall be the end of those that obey not the Gospell? |
| A13538 | If repentant sinners be laid vnder such lingring euills in this life, what shall the wicked and vngodly endure? |
| A13538 | If the Lord impute not sinne, how can he iustly punish it? |
| A13538 | If the way to heauen be so strawed with crosses and heauinesse, what is the way to hell and of wickednesse strawed with, but woes and curses? |
| A13538 | If thou hatest her in thine heart, why doest not thou put her away? |
| A13538 | If weakenesses in his children, what shall wickednesse in his enemies? |
| A13538 | If wee professe our selues the Sonnes of God, how are we so rough against our brethren, so without pittie and charitable disposition? |
| A13538 | If you, being euill, can giue good things to your children, how much more will your heauenly Father? |
| A13538 | Ignorant, while they dispute of knowledge? |
| A13538 | In a matter of such moment as the saluation of his owne foule? |
| A13538 | In bodily dangers, what a prop doth this doctrine giue vs? |
| A13538 | In molestation by externall aduersaries; What? |
| A13538 | In regard hereof say, Lord, who knoweth the errours of this life? |
| A13538 | In the want of inward comforts say to thy soule, Why art thou cast downe, my soule? |
| A13538 | In the want of outward things, say to thy selfe; God out of his loue hath giuen me his owne Sonne, and will hee not giue mee all things with him? |
| A13538 | Indeede the Iewes were encouraged hereby to seeke God, but what is that to vs? |
| A13538 | Ioseph, being tempted to folly, said, How shall I doe this great wickednesse and sinne against God? |
| A13538 | Is any merry? |
| A13538 | Is it not Gods sacrificing knife? |
| A13538 | Is it not a shame to bee deceiued in the knowledge of himselfe, and his owne estate? |
| A13538 | Is it not damnable enough for men to walke on in the vvayes of damnation themselues, vnlesse they raile at the way of trueth and life? |
| A13538 | Is it the essence of God? |
| A13538 | Is my sinne against a Priest or against the Pope of Rome, that he must bestow pardon on me? |
| A13538 | Is not this a brand taken out of the fire? |
| A13538 | Is the godly man he, that shall pray and find mercy? |
| A13538 | Is this cruell religion of God? |
| A13538 | Is this so? |
| A13538 | Is this the returne of thy prayer? |
| A13538 | It is the troubled spirit that God respects, and at whom else doth the Lord looke? |
| A13538 | Iudge therefore of thy selfe and others with a righteous iudgement: if heauen approoue thee, care not if earth cast thee out? |
| A13538 | Know thine iniquitie: How? |
| A13538 | Lastly, whom deales Dauid withall, but obstinate and wilfull sinners, vvho are no better then corrupt and brutish nature made them? |
| A13538 | Lay it in honor; what a vanishing thing is that, like the footsteps of a ship in the Sea, carried with a strong gale? |
| A13538 | Lay it in wealth, they haue wings; and when they fly away, so doth thy happinesse: why doest thou trust a fugitiue seruant? |
| A13538 | Let no man aduenture on any sinne, because it is little: say not as Lot did of Zoar, Is it not a little one, and my soule may liue in it? |
| A13538 | Lord, when saw wee thee hungry, or thirsty, or in prison, or naked, and ministred not to thee? |
| A13538 | Manasseh set vp Idols, sought to witches, yea himselfe was a Magician or Coniurer, and what was his practice? |
| A13538 | Many say, Who will shew vs any good? |
| A13538 | Master, forbid them to prophesie: but what said Moses? |
| A13538 | May wee not hide our selues in earth, by vsing the meanes of safetie? |
| A13538 | Much more are those in a wofull case, which corrupt and peruert others, saying, What? |
| A13538 | Must thou needs run out of doores, because a storme or tempest is comming? |
| A13538 | No comfort shall bee comfortable to him: for when the spirit, which should sustaine all a mans infirmities, failes him, what can sustaine him? |
| A13538 | No? |
| A13538 | Now can an Hypocrite euer reioyce in God? |
| A13538 | Now he begins to consider what a wofull estate he was in, he thinkes of his fathers house: but with what face can he behold the face of his father? |
| A13538 | Now, lest they should say, We haue preuailed, and, Where is now their God? |
| A13538 | Numbers of men neuer finde any want of God, they finde the want of health and wealth, of friends and meanes: many say, Who will shew vs any good? |
| A13538 | O Lord, why hast thou hardned our hearts from thy wayes? |
| A13538 | O Lord, why hast thou made vs to erre from thy wayes, and hardned our heart from thy feare? |
| A13538 | O geration of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flye from the wrath to come? |
| A13538 | O, but what speake you this against the Religion of the Church of Rome? |
| A13538 | Of all these in generall will one day bee said, Who required these things at your hands? |
| A13538 | Of what religion were the Egyptians that kept vnder the Israelites so tyrannically, but barbarous, wicked, and idolatrous? |
| A13538 | Oh but then all shall bee well, if all these mercies shall compasse him that trusts in God; for, who trusts not in God? |
| A13538 | Oh how excellent is thy mercy? |
| A13538 | Oh( saith one) he hates me, it is I that he reproues; What needes all this adoe? |
| A13538 | Oh, but it may continue long, and what needes such haste? |
| A13538 | Oh, how vnmercifull are they, that make but a iest of mens sinnes? |
| A13538 | Oh, saith the world, this is not the child of God: Why? |
| A13538 | Oh, what a deale of labour vvould it saue vs, if men vvere able and vvilling to apply doctrine to themselues? |
| A13538 | Oh, what hath he to doe with me? |
| A13538 | Or is he slaine according to the slaughter of them that were slaine by him,& c? |
| A13538 | Or is this glasse a bright and glorious light, as some say? |
| A13538 | Or that horrible massacre of the Christians in France, the like whereof was neuer seene in any Nation? |
| A13538 | Our great men vnder Kings vvould haue said so, but Dauid put it vp; and indeede, where had he beene but for Nathans plaine dealing? |
| A13538 | Peter could not iustifie the quantity of his loue, when Christ asked him this question; Peter, louest thou me more then these? |
| A13538 | Secondly, If wee be so happie in Priuatiue mercies, what shall we be in Positiue? |
| A13538 | Secondly, Why doth he name these creatures, the Horse and the Mule, and not the Lyon or any other? |
| A13538 | Secondly, against the light and checkes of conscience, and is this nothing? |
| A13538 | Secondly, doest thou finde the will present with thee? |
| A13538 | Secondly, he onely can properly forgiue sinne: Who is a God like vnto thee, that passest by the sinnes of thy people, saith the holy man? |
| A13538 | Secondly, how comes the body to be troubled by the minde? |
| A13538 | Secondly, how doe wee harpe vpon our wants more then our receits, so to depriue God of his glorie, and our selues of comfort? |
| A13538 | Secondly, how partiall are wee in our thankesgiuing? |
| A13538 | Secondly, if the sorrow of the godly for sinne be not alwaies godly sorrow, what shall we thinke of the wicked mans sorrow? |
| A13538 | Secondly, is not the Word a Sword? |
| A13538 | Secondly, must a man set himselfe against himselfe in his confessions? |
| A13538 | Secondly, must we giue an account of euery idle word? |
| A13538 | Secondly, spirituall things; euen in these also how hath God compassed vs with mercies euen for the present? |
| A13538 | Secondly, walke as a man released of thy heauy burden, and now at ease and liberty: How thankfull was Dauid when he escaped the burden of one sinne? |
| A13538 | Secondly, what a wonderfull mercie shall compasse vs in our immediate vnion and coniunction with Christ our Head, by which we shall be like him? |
| A13538 | See we not, that our soules in their swaruing from God, are like bones beside the ioynt? |
| A13538 | Seeke and yee shall finde; if the godly seeke and find not? |
| A13538 | Shall I beleeue the greater, and not beleeue the lesse? |
| A13538 | Shall I hide me vnder the Saints wings? |
| A13538 | Shall I not drinke of the cup that my Father hath giuen me to drinke? |
| A13538 | Shall he giue me heauen, and not earth? |
| A13538 | Shall the Lord himselfe be pressed vnder the burden of thy sinnes, as a Cart laden with sheaues, and art not thou? |
| A13538 | Shall there be euill in the Citie, and the Lord hath not done it? |
| A13538 | Shall we cast a pearle to a swine? |
| A13538 | Shall we not pray for daily bread, because we haue bread? |
| A13538 | Should an Husbandman measure himselfe by his seede- time, what is there but labour and losse? |
| A13538 | Sixthly, if God should bestow remission of sinnes in generall to all, what neede is there of any grace, what vse of the feare of God, of faith,& c? |
| A13538 | So Amnon was merry in his brother Absoloms House, but what cause had hee, seeing men were appointed presently to kill him? |
| A13538 | So in Peter, how was he ouermastered by his flesh? |
| A13538 | Some of our ignorant people thanke God they can serue God and say their Prayers as well as any: but what Prayers? |
| A13538 | Sorrowes of the godly like the sorrow of a woman in trauell why? |
| A13538 | The Corinths might haue said, What haue wee to doe with the examples of those, that liued in the Old Testament? |
| A13538 | The Egyptians were terrible enemies to the Church; did God euer smite his Church as he smote them? |
| A13538 | The blinde Iewes could say, Who can forgiue sinnes but God? |
| A13538 | These men say to the Ministers, as the Sodomites did to Lot, Shall hee iudge and rule? |
| A13538 | Thinke we not, that Iosephs brethren held on a forme of Religion, while their sinne troubled them not for so many yeeres? |
| A13538 | Thinke yee that those, on whom the Tower of Siloam fell, were greater debters then the rest? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, Who can tell or reck on the summe of those mercies that we shall enioy in respect of that glorious inheritance of the Saints in light? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, a change of the whole man in affection and action: what a change was wrought in the Iaylour vpon his conuersion? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, consider what a wofull threatning is sent out against such as will not seeke the Lord? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, doth not euery man desire, that the strong man were cast out of his heart? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, get sinceritie of heart: for, Can an hypocrite delight himselfe in the Almightie? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, how doe wee rather repine at that which others haue, then consider what is our owne need? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, if thou diddest hate these sinnes and errors as enemies, why doest thou not raise thy power against them? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, is not the sorrow of godly men, alwaies godly sorrow, out of which they can reape ioy and comfort? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, thou that owest the least, doest thou not owe too much already? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, who can deny,( that doth but looke on the externall shape of man and beast) but that GOD hath put a plaine distinction betweene them? |
| A13538 | Thirdly, why hath the Lord thought good to send both sanctified men, and vnsanctified? |
| A13538 | This is Tophet, prepared for the wicked, in which one word how many sorrowes be there? |
| A13538 | This whole Psalme teacheth it, in the beginning of which how was Dauid deiected? |
| A13538 | Thou that art of the frozen generation, that needest a Boanerges, a sonne of thunder, why expectest thou a Bar- Ionah? |
| A13538 | Thou that hast not found God vpon thy prayer, tell me, Hast thou prayed, that God would heare thee therein, and direct thee to pray aright? |
| A13538 | Thou that teachest another, doest not thou teach thy selfe? |
| A13538 | Thus Dauid often complaines, Will the Lord absent himselfe for euer? |
| A13538 | Vicious persons, while they entreat of vertue? |
| A13538 | WHat? |
| A13538 | Was Christs righteous heart euer destitute of faith? |
| A13538 | Was Ionas euer more compassed with mercies then when he was in his owne sense cast off, and compassed with Waues and Weedes? |
| A13538 | Was Israel euer more compassed with mercie, then when they were compassed with Mountaines, Sea, Enemies, Death, and deadly things? |
| A13538 | Were it not thus, how durst they prouoke the eyes of Gods glorie? |
| A13538 | What a great mercy was it, when Christ opened the eyes of the blinde, or healed the deafe and lame, yea or when hee raised Lazarus being dead? |
| A13538 | What a shame is it to infringe so excellent priuiledges? |
| A13538 | What an intolerable burden of sinne complaines he of? |
| A13538 | What are they but lyars, while without this they dispute of truth? |
| A13538 | What are we silly wormes to him? |
| A13538 | What be the bridles, wherewith God curbeth obstinate sinners? |
| A13538 | What can mooue to this dutie, if this doe not mooue vs? |
| A13538 | What doth all this proue, but that, if we were as rich as Adam in innocencie, yet wants of considering our estate would lay vs to spoile? |
| A13538 | What fruit had yee of those things whereof ye are now ashamed? |
| A13538 | What fruit had you in those things, whereof yee are now ashamed? |
| A13538 | What fruit had you of those things, whereof yee are now ashamed? |
| A13538 | What good can a conditionall promise doe him, that no way performes the condition? |
| A13538 | What hath he to doe with my pleasures and dealings? |

| A13538 | What if thou art not in the degree of Faith, which Abraham was in? |
| A13538 | What indignation hath this wrought in you? |
| A13538 | What is the reason then, that the most men neuer feele this burden? |
| A13538 | What is the reason? |

| A13538 | What may wee thinke of the mercilesse inquisition in Spaine? |
| A13538 | What meane others by their ridiculous distinction of Gnats and Camells in the matter of sinne, as though any were in it selfe a Gnat? |
| A13538 | What mischiefs haue we heard of by a little sparke? |
| A13538 | What neede of the death of Christ? |
| A13538 | What neede these fellowes make Pulpit- matters of euery thing? |
| A13538 | What of that religion, that blowes vp Massacres, Rebellions, Seditions, Treasons in all Countreys? |
| A13538 | What of that religion, which committeth Kings and Emperours together, making them Wolues and Tygers one to another? |
| A13538 | What remaines, but either the mercy of the Creditor, or perpetuall prison? |
| A13538 | What saith Christ? |
| A13538 | What say many miscreants? |
| A13538 | What sowrenesse in the whole lumpe by a little Leauen? |

| A13538 | What? |
| A13538 | What? |
| A13538 | When Moses and the Israclites were compassed with Sea, Mountaines, and Enemies, how were they hid and couered with the promise onely? |
| A13538 | When the Eunuch read the Prophesie of Esay, and Philip asked him if hee vnderstood the place, How can I( sayd he) without a guide? |
| A13538 | When the two Disciples asked Christ, if they should call for fire from heauen against the Cities that receiued thē not? |
| A13538 | When we set our selues to be thankful, how sleight, how short are we in this dutie& part of Gods worship? |
| A13538 | Where be the Papists, that teach some sinnes to be veniall in their owne nature, when as all these sorrowes are the wages of the least? |
| A13538 | Wherefore should ye be smitten any more? |

| A13538 | Who is this righteous man? |
| A13538 | Who were they that cried, How long, Lord how long? |
| A13538 | Whom haue I in Heauen but thee? |
| A13538 | Whom? |
| A13538 | Why art thou cast downe, O my soule? |
| A13538 | Why art thou so farre from the words of my complaint? |
| A13538 | Why did Nebuzaradan fauour Ieremie? |
| A13538 | Why did hee not goe to the Priest, and tell all his sinnes in his eare? |
| A13538 | Why doth God command men to beleeue this or that, and not intend that they should doe so in the euent? |

| A13538 | Will they deliuer vs? |
| A13538 | Wilt thou auoide the flames of natural fire, by kindling the fire of Gods wrath against thee, yea, the flames of hell within thee? |
| A13538 | Wilt thou being a man put off manhood, and lay aside thy minde and the powers, which God hath giuen thee to distinguish thee from a beast? |
| A13538 | Wilt thou in so small a thing incurre the Lords so high displeasure? |
| A13538 | Wilt thou saue thy life, by flying from Christ, who is the way and the life? |
| A13538 | Would wee laugh, to see a man pulling a mill- stone vpon himselfe, and crushing himselfe all to pieces? |
| A13538 | Wouldest thou haue an Ocean of mercie fall vpon thee? |
| A13538 | Yee aske, and haue not, saith IAMES, because yee aske amisse: and when doe wee aske amisse? |
| A13538 | a guide and not able to guide himselfe? |
| A13538 | a purpose of heart to cleaue vnto him, and to keepe his fauour which thou iudgest better then life it selfe? |
| A13538 | a true sorrow, that euer thou offendedst so good a God? |
| A13538 | against lyars, and yet there is no trueth in thine owne wordes? |
| A13538 | and all in vaine? |
| A13538 | and are not thy sinnes for weight and number, like the sands of the Sea- shore? |
| A13538 | and how can hee but see, who is all an eye? |
| A13538 | and if the righteous scarcely be saued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare? |
| A13538 | and indeed, what cause is there, that he should be so bid? |
| A13538 | and is it now no other then a make- bate? |
| A13538 | and miserable Creatures, while without it they grope at true blessednesse? |
| A13538 | and must thou therefore depart from thy secret place? |
| A13538 | and not for good, and for giuing? |
| A13538 | and not of euery idle song, which is hurtfull to our selues and others, and keepes out better? |
| A13538 | and now doeth it serue to breed them? |
| A13538 | and now to impaire the trueth? |
| A13538 | and shall I neuer bee remembred? |
| A13538 | and shall not they bee saued, for whom Christ dyed? |
| A13538 | and shall not wee labour to make men loue and like the truth? |
| A13538 | and shall prophane wretches, that haue set their faces all their dayes against heauen, thinke to bee heard in the day of their distresse and death? |
| A13538 | and sometimes God giues more then our request, and is this a denyall? |
| A13538 | and take no time to repaire himselfe, and hurts sustained by inconsideratenesse? |
| A13538 | and what experience haue our owne soules, how he daily forgets and forgiues innumerable sinnes? |
| A13538 | and what was all their prayers and confessions all that while but silence? |
| A13538 | and when hee spoke, what rough and churlish words gaue he to a woman in that distresse, calling her a Dogge? |
| A13538 | and who doth this but Nebuchadnezzar the head of this Babylon? |
| A13538 | and whom haue I in comparison of thee? |
| A13538 | and why should God vse him in the one chiefe ende of his calling, and not in the other? |
| A13538 | and will he be neuer more intreated? |
| A13538 | and will he neglect to saue and preserue my bodie? |
| A13538 | and will he neuer be more intreated? |
| A13538 | and will hee not beate backe the endeuours and vniust practices of my enemies? |
| A13538 | and wilt not thou let a drop fall on thy brother? |
| A13538 | and yet, what good guide in the Ministrie meeteth not with such vnnaturall dealing from naturall and vngodly men? |
| A13538 | and, how can he haue any elsewhere if not from that? |
| A13538 | because he loued good men? |
| A13538 | by what pattents? |
| A13538 | can a man be thus perswaded, and yet not feele it? |
| A13538 | can not God, without the condition of repentance and sorrow and confession of sinne, remit sinne, and conferre fauour vpon sinners? |
| A13538 | did God giue the Scripture for a remedie, and is it turned to poyson? |
| A13538 | did euer godly man auoide them? |
| A13538 | did his Father euer cease to loue him? |
| A13538 | did it once serue as a hammer to bruise errors? |
| A13538 | doest thou preach against drunkennesse, and art an intemperate person, a companion of drunkards? |
| A13538 | doth not the Lord loue those whom he chasteneth? |
| A13538 | euery man must carry his owne burden: how then can Christ? |
| A13538 | hast not thou also abused thy health, peace,& c. and thereby forfeited them? |
| A13538 | hast thou denyed thy selfe, that whatsoeuer the Spirit in the Word suggesteth, it is thy whole heart to vndertake it? |
| A13538 | hast thou more sense of the groning of a beast, then of thy brother? |
| A13538 | hath God forgotten to bee mercifull? |
| A13538 | hath he forgotten to be mercifull? |
| A13538 | hath hee shut vp his tender mercies in displeasure? |
| A13538 | hath my Lord and head foiled the Deuill for me, troden Satan vnder my feet, and trampled vpon all spirituall enmities for mee? |
| A13538 | haue I a promise for that I pray for? |
| A13538 | haue not the enemies with their violent inundations come neere, yea, and almost ouerturned the whole Church? |
| A13538 | he was of another temper, and said, Dost thou enuie for me? |
| A13538 | hee that doeth the greater, will not hee doe the lesse? |
| A13538 | how comes it to passe, that the godly feele such sorrow in sinne pardoned, and the wicked feele nothing in sinne vnpardoned? |
| A13538 | how could they forget these, at least so soone? |
| A13538 | how did hee roare night and day vnder the heauie hand of God? |
| A13538 | how did his moysture drie vp as in the drought of Summer? |
| A13538 | how farre from the disposition of the godly, who thinke nothing so vile and hatefull as sinne? |
| A13538 | how long wilt thou forget me? |
| A13538 | how many sickemen on their beds haue in their affliction sought God? |
| A13538 | how miserable in not seeing their miserie? |
| A13538 | how quickely then would they come to Gods mercy- gate? |
| A13538 | how shall we be compassed with them? |
| A13538 | how then can men reape any ioy out of carnall and contrary meanes? |
| A13538 | how vnconformable to Gods Law, that sets an eternall curse vpon the head of the least sinne? |
| A13538 | how were his bones dryed and broken? |
| A13538 | how will this stand with Gods Iustice? |
| A13538 | if Christ will confesse thee, let thy friends deny thee? |
| A13538 | if God iustifie, who can condemne? |
| A13538 | if assurance of remission follow sound confession, what shall I thinke of my selfe? |
| A13538 | if infirmities be so lashed, what shall rebellions? |
| A13538 | in what estate? |
| A13538 | is it because they hate the sinne? |
| A13538 | is not God pleased with that religion, which he hath prospered so long? |
| A13538 | is the Word in his mouth strong meate; and can not it be milke too? |
| A13538 | is this a forgiuenesse of a debt, to exact it wholly? |
| A13538 | it lies euery- where vpon thee: and of actuall sinnes without number? |
| A13538 | may not I hope my sinnes are pardoned? |
| A13538 | may wee not ioy in outward things, as meat, drinke, wife, children, wealth, honour? |
| A13538 | must Gods children heare the Law applyed? |
| A13538 | must it not sinke? |
| A13538 | neuer felt doubting nor trouble of conscience? |
| A13538 | nor torment of heart? |
| A13538 | not to require the sinne, not to inflict the penaltie? |
| A13538 | of Marie Magdalen possessed with seuen deuils? |
| A13538 | of many of Gods children bewitched and vexed with the deuill? |
| A13538 | oh goc and meet him? |
| A13538 | oh, what ioy and delight shall there bee in the Kings marriage, and in the meeting of so many good friends together? |
| A13538 | or can hee bee present where euer the beames of the Sunne are? |
| A13538 | or fuller, because many eate? |
| A13538 | or how can he be heard in mercy, to whom mercy belongs not? |
| A13538 | or if hee doe, how can he be iust? |
| A13538 | or is there a graue in thy heart, neuer full? |
| A13538 | or shall not we say, Forgiue vs our sinnes, because wee beleeue the remission of our sinnes? |
| A13538 | or that the frost- bitten rootes, and blasted blades should neuer spring forth to flower or seed? |
| A13538 | or were hee not mad, who should therefore refuse it? |
| A13538 | or what bond of theirs haue I broken, which they can release mee of? |
| A13538 | or who can thinke it acceptable vnto God, seeing the godly, the mercifull man onely can performe acceptable seruice? |
| A13538 | or, if they should not haue beleeued and repented, had they beene condemned for not beleeuing a lye? |
| A13538 | or, seeing hee is neuer absent, how can hee bee found? |
| A13538 | or, what comfort can he haue in God, who is not in couenant with him? |
| A13538 | shall a man consider of his houses, rents, fields or garments? |
| A13538 | surely no, wee may not thinke so, and yet he said, My God, my God, why hast thou for saken me? |
| A13538 | that he should aske and not receiue, that asketh amisse? |
| A13538 | that he that turnes his eare from the Law, should haue Gods eare turned from him? |
| A13538 | that he, that is a prophane mocker of God, God should mocke him in his destruction? |
| A13538 | the true cause is, that the light thereof may not discouer their workes of darknesse: but what say they? |
| A13538 | their meat and drinke to riot and excesse, as though the Lord required no other returne, or would require no other reckoning? |
| A13538 | their wealth and calling to iniustice, coozenage, couetousnesse? |
| A13538 | they returne againe, because the guilt remaines: how should a man repent of that sinne, which hee will not see, lest he should sorrow? |
| A13538 | thou that preachest against couetousnesse, art thou a griper neuer satisfied? |
| A13538 | to make it a preseruatiue from many great sinnes, which the wicked daily commit, open and secret? |
| A13538 | to make it a sound stay and comfort, to support them in all their troubles; wherein else they must needs sinke? |
| A13538 | to make it vnto them a rule of faith, and a rule of life, able to make the man of God perfect to euery good worke? |
| A13538 | to put it into their handes as a sword to cut off Satans temptations? |
| A13538 | to what vse could the promises of the Gospell serue? |
| A13538 | was it once profitable 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; to improue? |
| A13538 | was not Dauid ouer head and eares in them? |
| A13538 | was not Noah and Lot drunke, and many good men besides? |
| A13538 | was not Noah neere them, and they neere him? |
| A13538 | was not the Sabboth made for man, and not man for the Sabboth? |
| A13538 | were dangers toward? |
| A13538 | what a staffe and strength cast they out of their hands, who heedlesly passe by Gods gracious dealing with them? |
| A13538 | what are they? |
| A13538 | what could the Lord doe more to make it easie and plaine, and fit for instruction, then he had done? |
| A13538 | what grim countenance and contempt shewed he by his silence, not vouchsafing to speak to her? |
| A13538 | what say you to Iob and his children? |
| A13538 | what strength were in the curses of the Law, that the soule that sinnes, shall die? |
| A13538 | what vse of the prayer of Christ for beleeuers, that his Father would keepe them in the truth? |
| A13538 | when is it? |
| A13538 | when wee doe not keepe Gods Commandements: but how shall we know that we keepe them? |
| A13538 | while I was yet an enemie and a sinner, God hath reconciled me by the death of his Sonne; how should hee now cast mee off being reconciled? |
| A13538 | who can remit a debt, but he to whom it is due? |
| A13538 | who is a God like thee, that passest by the iniquitie of thy people? |
| A13538 | why did he put such difference betweene men, that hee would not so much as pray for the World? |
| A13538 | will you bee so precise and foolish? |
| A13538 | will you in a kinde of singularitie lose both your pleasure and reputation? |
| A13538 | wilt thou auoide the sword of man by an euill conscience, which is a sharper sword within thy bowels, striking through, and pearsing thine owne soule? |
| A13530 | & who is he that weakens not himselfe much, and giues aduantage vnto the aduersarie, by sinfull and inordinate desires of riches? |
| A13530 | 1. the commaundement of faith in the Gospell, aswell as the actuall obedience of the Law? |
| A13530 | 2. obeyest thou the commaundement aswell of doing good, as of abstaining from euill? |
| A13530 | 23. though it created him much enuie and malice? |
| A13530 | 3. makest thou conscience of the least commaundement aswell as of the greatest? |
| A13530 | 3. that it is harmelesse, onely a proofe of the power of the Sonne of God, and in reason what should Satan haue gained by it? |
| A13530 | 3. what vertue had any body, bone, apparell, or any relique of any Saint aboue Christs blessed body? |
| A13530 | 4. doest thou obey constantly? |
| A13530 | 4. that it is a necessarie thing: is it not necessarie for a man that is ready to starue, to eate and procure bread? |
| A13530 | 6.10? |
| A13530 | 7.42: Doth not the Scripture say? |
| A13530 | 8. when I see the heauens, the earth, and the workes of thy hands, then said I, Lord what is man that thou art so mindfull of him? |
| A13530 | 8. which by Moses his law should be stoned; but Master what sayest thou? |
| A13530 | Abishai lookes at Shem ● i that barked at Dauid, and said, Why doth this dead dogge curse the King? |
| A13530 | After this, what a blacke darkenesse of Mahometisme possessed the Easterne part of the world, vnder which it lies sunck at this day? |
| A13530 | Again, tell me thou that presumest so farre to sinne, art thou further in Gods books then Adam in Paradise, yea then the Angels in heauen? |
| A13530 | Alasse, what Communion is there betweene light and darkenesse, betweene Christ and Antichrist? |
| A13530 | An example hereof we haue in Eue, to whom Satan comes and saith, Yea, hath God said so indeede? |
| A13530 | And are not the Scriptures, the sword of the Spirit, more necessarie? |
| A13530 | And besides, it is most beneficiall to our selues: for, what gaineth he by our seruice? |
| A13530 | And can I thinke that Satan hath any care of edifying my people? |
| A13530 | And can we indeed looke vpon our selues, and not see something which is a brand of our sin? |
| A13530 | And consequently, that the former place speakes of his humane nature, the latter of his diuine nature? |
| A13530 | And did not he more maligne Christs good and comfort then all other, because he exceeded all other in grace and Gods image? |
| A13530 | And doth not another experience teach vs, that the lesse he is resisted, the sooner he flies, and is lesse troublesome? |
| A13530 | And how doth the Lord encourage all his people to vnderstand and obey the words of the law? |
| A13530 | And how iustly doe some faint in trouble for want of obseruing the wayes of God with them in former trialls and deliuerances? |
| A13530 | And if a man know a ranke theefe, were he not worthy to be robbed that will open his doors, and giue him entertainment? |
| A13530 | And if our Lord himselfe receiued comfort from them, how great may be our comfort from them? |
| A13530 | And in Ioseph, how did he stirre vp the hatred of his brethren against him? |
| A13530 | And in the text, why cites he the truth, but to draw Christ into an errour? |
| A13530 | And is it not worth preseruing and increasing? |
| A13530 | And is not the word a more necessary food? |
| A13530 | And shall not we approach to the Angelicall life, which is the happiest of all creatures? |
| A13530 | And shall we either not looke on them, or so looke vpon them as they to make vs inexcusable? |
| A13530 | And the meanes of his sinne, was as idle as the ende: for, had he not all the trees of the garden, and fruits of paradise to eate vpon? |
| A13530 | And were not these publike euills, how many euery one of vs bewaile Christs hiding of himselfe from our soules? |
| A13530 | And what a deluge of sinne ouerfloweth the soule, when the vnderstanding is buried in the senses, and the heart drowned in sinfull appetites? |
| A13530 | And what a holy and faithfull profession was that of Iob? |
| A13530 | And what can more reioyce the heart of a gracious and ingenuous child, then the honour and high respect of his parent? |
| A13530 | And what comfort canst thou haue, if not in thy calling vpon God? |
| A13530 | And what hast thou gained by all this challenge, but thine owne conuiction of great sinne, without excuse, but not without witnesse? |
| A13530 | And what is further to be done, but to leaue such a one as remedilesse? |
| A13530 | And what meanes vseth he to effect it? |
| A13530 | And what other meanes vsed they to falsifie and suppresse the truth and glory of his resurrection? |
| A13530 | And what w ● ll yee liken mee to, saith the Lord? |
| A13530 | And where read we that euer he committed these into the hand of the deuill? |
| A13530 | And who can hardly affect it, without beeing infected with it? |
| A13530 | And who is this liuing stone that giues life to all that are built vpon him, besides Christ himselfe? |
| A13530 | And why should wee not draw our affections from them, seeing, 1. the wicked are as rich, yea richer in these things then the best? |
| A13530 | And why? |
| A13530 | And why? |
| A13530 | And why? |
| A13530 | And why? |
| A13530 | And, not to doe this, what is it else but to become traytors to our owne hearts? |
| A13530 | Are not as good blockes as this euerie where? |
| A13530 | Are there not a number of ignorant men, almost as ignorant as if the Scriptures had neuer beene written? |
| A13530 | Are these the salt of the earth, who neuer apply themselues to season the fleshly and vnsauoury manners and behauiours of men? |
| A13530 | Are they not in the midst of that woe of them that say to the wood, Arise; and to the dumb stone, Come and helpe vs? |
| A13530 | Art thou not depriued almost of all the pleasures of the world? |
| A13530 | Art thou seruiceable to euery member, and that in the head? |
| A13530 | Art thou the Messiah, that hast not a morsell of bread to put in thy mouth? |
| A13530 | Art thou( weake creature and staruen) he that must preuaile against the gates of hell? |
| A13530 | As for example: A murderer vseth a sword to kill a man; may not another vse a sword, or that sword in his owne defence? |
| A13530 | As if I should say, I did such a thing without help; is it not all one to say, I onely did it? |
| A13530 | At his passion, what greater infamie then to be hanged betweene two theeues? |
| A13530 | Be euer imployed in his worke: How know I a mans seruant, but by his labouring in his masters businesse? |
| A13530 | Because a wolfe comes in sheeps cloathing, must the sheepe cast away their fleece? |
| A13530 | But Christ sends the third person: how then doth the third person lead him? |
| A13530 | But Satan saith, Therefore what needest thou care? |
| A13530 | But are not many of Gods children not onely sore thrust at, but euen ouercome in temptation? |
| A13530 | But did not others beside Christ command the deuills? |
| A13530 | But doe not our aduersaries read the Scriptures as diligently as we? |
| A13530 | But how can I heare the word with profit from a wicked man? |
| A13530 | But how can a man be safe where Satans throne is? |
| A13530 | But how can he be a meanes of conuaying grace to mee, that is a gracelesse man? |
| A13530 | But how could Satan carrie the body of Christ, beeing a spirit? |
| A13530 | But how did they come in? |
| A13530 | But how fewe are of this minde? |
| A13530 | But how may I communicate with a wicked Minister, or with what comfort? |
| A13530 | But how may I partake where open sinners are tolerated to receiue the Sacrament? |
| A13530 | But how may we conceiue of this word, whereby God doth gouerne and preserue the creatures? |
| A13530 | But if thou beest predestinate, what needest thou care? |
| A13530 | But is it possible that Sathan can so preuaile to drawe men to worship himselfe in stead of God? |
| A13530 | But is there any man so extreame wicked, that will contract with the deuill, or receiue any thing vpon any condition at his hands? |
| A13530 | But is this Christian meeknes, to be so boisterous like a sudden winde, which thy selfe scarce knowes whence it is or whither it tends? |
| A13530 | But it is in vaine to serue the Lord, and what profite is there in his wayes? |
| A13530 | But must not euery knee bowe at the name of Iesus, euen of things vnder the earth, by which are meant the deuills? |
| A13530 | But pitifull is this delusion: Is thy faith stronger, thy holines greater then Christs? |
| A13530 | But was it not to cast him downe lower then all his people, to be presently eaten with lice? |
| A13530 | But was not Dauid ouercome with temptation? |
| A13530 | But were there not many sorrowes, vexations, and tumults in the world? |
| A13530 | But wert thou not better to goe to this wise man, or that cunning woman? |
| A13530 | But what a change was there the third day by his glorious resurrection? |
| A13530 | But what a sudden change was there? |
| A13530 | But what can be a more euident note of Gods displeasure, then to be giuen vp to such a delusion? |
| A13530 | But what doe they else but imitate the deuill, in cutting off that part of the text which makes against them? |
| A13530 | But what if the Church be not visible sometimes, as in Elias his time, or be in the wildernesse? |
| A13530 | But what is this to those mentall reseruations; Are you a Priest, Garnet? |
| A13530 | But what may we thinke to reape from him, that dares beginne his controuersie with so high a blasphemy? |
| A13530 | But what must we behold? |
| A13530 | But what need we goe out of our text, in which the example of our Head and Lord may best confirme vs? |
| A13530 | But what needest thou be so strict? |
| A13530 | But what say you to a dumbe Minister? |
| A13530 | But when he takes his Fathers cause in hand, how doth he cloath himselfe with zeale, which euen consumes him? |
| A13530 | But whether of these obserued the right order, as the temptations were passed? |
| A13530 | But who beleeue him? |
| A13530 | But who would haue thought but that the Church had been vtterly wasted in the seuentie yeares captiuity, wherein it sate in the shadow of death? |
| A13530 | But why shouldest thou respect these preachers so much? |
| A13530 | But why would not our Sauiour giue them such a signe as they desired? |
| A13530 | But you are a man of knowledge, wise, and learned, what need you be so diligent in hearing sermons, especially of such as are farre your inferiours? |
| A13530 | But you may followe the fashions of the world, in strange apparell, ruffian behauiour, monstrous tyres; who may els? |
| A13530 | By the Spirit indefinitely set downe, what is meant? |
| A13530 | By what meanes? |
| A13530 | Call vpon mee in the time of trouble: and, How can they call on him in whome they haue not beleeued? |
| A13530 | Came to him,] Here may a question be mooued, How Satan came to Christ, beeing a spirit? |
| A13530 | Can God bee the God of the dead, and not the God of the dead? |
| A13530 | Can God depart from Shilo for the sinnes of Priests and people, where first he put his name, and can he not depart from Rome? |
| A13530 | Can Gods child, seeing a sonne honours his father? |
| A13530 | Can a child indure his father to be dishonoured and wronged by word or deed, and put it vp? |
| A13530 | Can good men meet, and not be better one for another, whereas the wicked can not meet but be worse? |
| A13530 | Can he willingly affoard a good man a good moment? |
| A13530 | Can the deuill make thee sinne without thy selfe? |
| A13530 | Can there bee a greater tempting of God in his iustice, then to goe on and trade in sinne without repentance, presuming that God will not punish vs? |
| A13530 | Can they that are euill, giue their children good things? |
| A13530 | Christ hath blood enough, and merit enough, what need they feare? |
| A13530 | Christ might easily( according to Papists) haue shaken off the deuill, and said, What? |
| A13530 | Christ praies for the not failing of thy faith, wilt not thou pray for thy owne? |
| A13530 | Could any other but he worke Satans greatest disaduantage by offering him the greatest aduantage? |
| A13530 | Dauids eyes gushed out with riuers of teares, because men keepe not the word: how wept he then for his owne sinnes, that wept so for others? |
| A13530 | Did hee want power, who had now carried and set him on that dangerous pinacle, or did he want will to throw him downe? |
| A13530 | Did not he suggest to our first Parents, that they should be as Gods, if they ate the forbidden fruit? |
| A13530 | Did not ● e helpe vp Herod by pride and ambition, almost aboue the pinacle? |
| A13530 | Doe so no more my sonnes( said Eli:) ye make the people trespasse: How? |
| A13530 | Doe they honour Christ by their ministery, and shall we refuse his seruice? |
| A13530 | Doe we prouoke him? |
| A13530 | Doe we thinke that Iudas was at first mooued to betray his innocent Lord? |
| A13530 | Doe we thinke, that a false teacher or heretike could do any great hurt, if he should not lay his leauen in a lump of truth? |
| A13530 | Doe woe not see, that the more conscionably a man carrieth himselfe, the more busily Satan doth bestirre himselfe against him? |
| A13530 | Doest thou chase Satan afore thee, and the whole band of his temptations? |
| A13530 | Doest thou excell in holinesse those Worthies of the world, Moses, Aaron, Dauid, Hezekiah? |
| A13530 | Doest thou loue them entirely for Gods image and goodnes? |
| A13530 | Doest thou obey in all thy commandements? |
| A13530 | Doest thou then finde thy selfe brought into the number of Gods people? |
| A13530 | Doest thou want meanes of liuing and maintenance? |
| A13530 | Doth he thinke thou canst liue of aire, or feed of winde, or digest stones? |
| A13530 | Doth not he enuie to euery man the fruition of any creature of God? |
| A13530 | Doth not the sunne shine, though a cloud or some other thing be betweene our sight and it? |
| A13530 | Either men must beleeue it, or denie it: and yet how few can we perswade conscionably to heare the word? |
| A13530 | Esau comes out of the field weary and hungry, and almost dead for meat: how must he supply his want? |
| A13530 | Faith is our sheild, prayer is our buckler, and the word of God our sword; where is their holy water? |
| A13530 | Father forgiue them, they know not what they doe: why prayes he thus to his Father, if himselfe might forgiue them? |
| A13530 | Fie vpon such madnesse: Are old decrepit men fit for the field? |
| A13530 | Findest thou this fruite of Christs power, that thy face is set towards heauen? |
| A13530 | First, in the subduing of any sinne or corruption, how will nature recoyle? |
| A13530 | For a rich man to bee an vsurer, or an oppressor, is a greater sinne then it is taken for, because it is against the meanes: yet who are vsurers else? |
| A13530 | For else what need I trie that which I were assured of? |
| A13530 | For how quicke and nimble are men to goe between man and man with tales and accusations, to cast bones of enmitie? |
| A13530 | For were it a good conscience, why doth he not leaue some part of his wealth for God, before it wholly leaue him? |
| A13530 | For what is it that can tie God to any place, but his own worship, to which he hath tyed himselfe by promise? |
| A13530 | For what meaneth else that common crie, that no man is against this manner of preaching, but they that can not vse it? |
| A13530 | From a supposed impossibility; How canst thou( poore weakling) beare such a yoke? |
| A13530 | Further, where can we better place our senses, then vpon him from whom all our help commeth? |
| A13530 | Gluttonous Diues tooke not to heart Lazarus his want; and where are the poore most neglected, but where there is fine and delicate diet euery day? |
| A13530 | God sees these changes good for vs, that by them we might prize his mercies, to praise the giuer: doth not the night make the day more delightfull? |
| A13530 | Good Nehemiah neglecteth his owne allowance, and departed from his owne right for the peoples sake, c. 5. but c. 13. how zealous is hee for God? |
| A13530 | Had he not heard the voice from heauen? |
| A13530 | Had it not been better that Asa had wanted Physicke, then bee strucke with death because hee trusted in Physitians? |
| A13530 | Haman was aduanced to great honour; but was it not to his greater ruine and downefall? |
| A13530 | Haman, how busie in his owne priuate quarrell to bring Modecai to death, yea to destroy the whole Church, had not his gallowes caught himselfe? |
| A13530 | Hast thou meanes of liuing? |
| A13530 | Hath God affoarded vs the ministery of Angells? |
| A13530 | Hath God indeed said, ye shall not eate of euery tree of the garden? |
| A13530 | Hath hee not reason then to assay by all his strength, to take this hold from vs? |
| A13530 | Hath not God tyed his care ouer vs, with our care ouer our selues? |
| A13530 | Hath not he in ordinary course tyed our safetie with the meanes? |
| A13530 | Hath the Lord forgotten to be mercifull, and shut vp his louing kindnesse in vtter displeasure? |
| A13530 | Haue Angels bodily shapes to appeare in? |
| A13530 | Haue not we the word truely preached, and the Sacraments for substance truely administred? |
| A13530 | Haue we so many faithfull guides in so dangerous a way, and should we be so cold and slow in the imitation of them? |
| A13530 | He is called the Prince of the world, not simply, but as it is corrupted: the prince of this world, saith the text; which world? |
| A13530 | He is cruell and fierce, how can I haue any heart to resist him? |
| A13530 | He is cruell, but what hurt can a lyon doe beeing in chaines, or a grate? |
| A13530 | He is our Lord, a strong God: doe wee prouoke the Lord? |
| A13530 | He shewes them none, they tempt God herein; was not the whipping of them out, and the authority he had shewen, signe enough of his diuine authority? |
| A13530 | Hee is mighty, but what can a strong man beeing disarmed doe? |
| A13530 | Hee knoweth my way, and trieth mee: and what was the issue? |
| A13530 | Hence note, that Christ cut not Satan here so short as he did sundry wicked men, nay as he did some of his beloued Disciples? |
| A13530 | How absurd is it to affirme, that that which is subiect to error, must be iudge and superiour to that which is free from it? |
| A13530 | How ambitiously doe many affect promotion and great places, not considering in what flipperie places their feete are set? |

| A13530 | How eagerly doe they desire wealt ●, as though it had no power to drawe the heart from God, and the wealth of heauen? |
| A13530 | How earnest was Christ in his Fathers worke, when his parents came to seeke him at twelue yeares old? |
| A13530 | How easily doe men loose the watch ouer themselues, against their owne resolutions, and the motions of Gods word and Spirit? |

| A13530 | In respect of it selfe: it is changeable, variable, inconstant: and wilt thou affect that which thou canst not hold or enioy? |
| A13530 | In the matter of the world, what a number of men are there of this trade, which we may fitly call the deuills Alchymistry? |
| A13530 | Ionathan when he saw Saul stirred vp by tale- bearers against Dauid, spake boldly in his defence; and said, Why shall he die? |
| A13530 | Is a man vpon his death- bed a fit man to master a gyant? |

| A13530 | Is it not now a point of wisedome, if we were as strong as Sampson, to know that we may be weake as other men, and forecast a day of triall? |
| A13530 | Is it not ordinary amongst vs, that read the word, and of Gods power therein? |
| A13530 | Is not he easily bound, that wants, yea scornes his weapons? |
| A13530 | Is not one as worthy to be worshipped as the other? |
| A13530 | Is not the Church the house of praier? |
| A13530 | Is not the word truth, and all men liars and subiect to error? |
| A13530 | Is not this a seasonable exhortation? |
| A13530 | Is not thy owne mouth thy iudge, who professest so much knowledge, and so little grace, loue, practise? |
| A13530 | Is that an obedience to God, for a dicer or gamester to forbeare play( or rather, as it is, his theeuing) when he wants money to stake? |
| A13530 | Is this better then that? |
| A13530 | Is this the care thy father hath of thee? |
| A13530 | Is this the fruit of acknowledging Gods infinite maiestie? |
| A13530 | Is this to confesse a mans owne basenesse, and the humble conceit hee hath of himselfe? |
| A13530 | Isaac said to his father, Here is the knife and wood, but where is the sacrifice? |
| A13530 | It calleth vsurie a detestable sinne: how then can it secure thy conscience? |

| A13530 | Let vs not be carried about as children with euery winde of doctrine: how should we doe other? |
| A13530 | Many quarrellers& swaggerers haue left off such furious courses: why? |
| A13530 | May I not do a little to set forward my work for the beginning of the week? |
| A13530 | May I not take a faire day when it comes, the weather beeing vncertaine and catching? |
| A13530 | Must he therefore needs make stones bread? |

| A13530 | Must we not serue one another in loue? |
| A13530 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee? |
| A13530 | Nay, and doth not experience shew, that the more the child of God resisteth, the more Satan assaulteth him? |
| A13530 | No man saith in his heart, Halfe haue I burnt, or eaten, or warmed my selfe withall, and shall I worship the other halfe as a god? |
| A13530 | Now after what manner was Christ tempted? |

| A13530 | Now is not such an one easily snared by the deuill, who is thus disaffected to Gods word? |
| A13530 | Now shall that which is not subiect to error, be subiect to that which is subiect to error? |

| A13530 | Of how much strength therefore may these be conceiued in Kings and Princes, who haue a sea in comparison of our drops? |
| A13530 | Oh but thinkest thou, that God sees or takes notice of euery thing? |
| A13530 | Oh, but would you haue me beleeue, when I feele nothing but corruption in myselfe, and correction and displeasure in God? |
| A13530 | Oh, saith one, if I were a rich man, how liberall would I be to the poore? |
| A13530 | Or did he doubt that he was the Sonne of God? |
| A13530 | Or if a Christian want his sword, how should he cut the bands of sinne in sunder? |
| A13530 | Or if he could be hungry, why would hee? |
| A13530 | Or if he could, why should he? |
| A13530 | Or who will beleeue the Church, that will not beleeue the Scripture? |
| A13530 | Or, thou art a Master, keepe thy seruants wages from him, make thy vse of it, wearie him, poore snake what can he doe? |
| A13530 | Or, when did the Lord giue vs a bill of diuorce? |
| A13530 | Peter was in great danger in the High Priests hall: how must he help himselfe out of their hands? |
| A13530 | Satan knowes there is a day of reckoning and iudgement, as the deuills confessed, Art thou come to torment vs before the time? |
| A13530 | Saul was in great straits, God was gone from him, he was not answered by Vrim, nor oracle: how shall he doe for counsell? |
| A13530 | Secondly, in thy resistance striue lawfully: How? |
| A13530 | See we not here Christ proclaimed and Sonne of God, and in whom his Father is well pleased, yet subiect to temptations by the deuill? |
| A13530 | Seeing high estates are so dangerous, why should not men content themselues with a meane ● ondition, but insatiably gape after promotion? |
| A13530 | Seest thou a man, whome thou mayest lawfully kill? |
| A13530 | Seest thou any one signe of Gods fauour? |
| A13530 | Seest thou not that God cares for beasts and foules, which he feedeth in due season, but thou art neglected? |
| A13530 | Shall Bethlehem where Christ was borne, be forsaken, and can not Babylon where Christ is daily crucified? |
| A13530 | Shall Christ fast for vs, and not we for our selues? |
| A13530 | Shall I giue ouer my profession, because the greatest part of men hate and reproach it? |
| A13530 | Shall I neglect my duty, to which God and good conscience tyes me, because I would not displease men, and be thought no medler? |
| A13530 | Shall a man so be- foole himselfe, as to thinke that then he can easiest resist the deuill, when his power is least? |
| A13530 | Shall the Israelites beeing set out of Egypt runne backe againe, because Pharaoh pursues them? |
| A13530 | Shall the Pharisies fast twice a weeke in hypocrisie, and we not once in our liues in sincerity? |
| A13530 | Shall the whole world( sinning) be drowned, and shalt thou auoid the deluge? |
| A13530 | Shall we willingly offend them, from whom, vnder God, we receiue so great and daily comforts? |
| A13530 | Should not a people seeke to their God? |
| A13530 | Should not ill weather and Gods iudgements rather force thee to repentance and obedience, then to sinne? |
| A13530 | So for euill of sinne; What strong temptations were they that seased on Peter, Dauid, Salomon, wherein they seemed vtterly lost? |
| A13530 | So it is his ordinarie temptation to any beleeuer: Doest thou not see thy selfe poore and despised, in want and sorrow? |
| A13530 | So may I say to the Separatist, Doest thou not know whence that Minister is, who hath opened thine eyes? |
| A13530 | So what thanke is it for a man to auoid sinne, because of damnation? |
| A13530 | Sometimes by remoouing the punishment and terror: Why who sees? |
| A13530 | Sometimes by the vtility& commodity of it; Oh it is profitable, by one oath or lie thou maiest be a great gainer, and why shouldest thou be so nice? |
| A13530 | Sometimes from the pleasure of it: Wilt thou defraud thyselfe of thy pleasure? |
| A13530 | The Temple was an holy place, dedicated to Gods worship and seruice; what hath Sathan to doe there? |
| A13530 | The lazie Protestant hath his text, We are saued by grace, and iustified by the blood of Christ freely: what can his workes doe? |

| A13530 | They that worke wickednes be set vp: who be they? |
| A13530 | This serues to reprooue such as faile in this watch of the senses: for who doth not? |
| A13530 | This teacheth vs what to thinke of them that scorne men as being too precise: What? |
| A13530 | Thou art an ignorant man, thou vnderstandest not sermons, why then doest thou follow them, or read the Scriptures? |
| A13530 | Thou mayest as well say, May I not take a purse when it comes? |
| A13530 | Wantest thou bread? |
| A13530 | Was Ierusalem a holy Citie? |
| A13530 | Was it not Abrahams commendation, that he beleeued against beleefe, and hoped against hope? |
| A13530 | Was it not a strange tempting of God, and a great disorder in time of pitched battell? |
| A13530 | Was it thus with the greene tree? |
| A13530 | Was not Abraham our father iustified by workes? |
| A13530 | Was there euer heart of ordinary man or woman more innocent, or more filled with grace, then Eues in her innocencie? |
| A13530 | We are in the Church militant, beset with our enemie ● so long as we liue, and can we expect victorie without blowes? |
| A13530 | We haue all vnerring Popes, maintaining these seueral interpretations; how shall we chuse the best? |
| A13530 | Well, if thou hast thy sinnes forgiuen thee, where is thy ioy and peace of reconciliation? |
| A13530 | Were it a free- will- offering, why comes it so late? |
| A13530 | Were not you in England at such a time? |
| A13530 | What Church in all the world, whose flourishing estate hath alwaies lasted? |
| A13530 | What a common sin is it to neglect the meanes, and despise the word, as a weake and silly meanes, as the Preachers be silly men? |

| A13530 | What if the lawes of men should permit what Gods law condemnes? |
| A13530 | What is it but to offer sacrifice to them, to offer them candles, incense, and the like? |
| A13530 | What is the difference betweene Christs infirmities and ours? |
| A13530 | What is their whole religion but a plaine tempting of God, and a prouoking of his anger, while they lay on men the yoake of the Law? |
| A13530 | What is there now in all Gods worship, which they can not doe to them? |
| A13530 | What is this great all that he makes profer of? |
| A13530 | What is this seruice, which God requires at our hands? |

| A13530 | What? |
| A13530 | What? |
| A13530 | What? |
| A13530 | What? |
| A13530 | When God appeared in Bethel to Iaacob, he said, How fearefull is this place? |
| A13530 | When a man goes among thornes and stubbes, had he not need haue his shooes of the Gospel on, if hee would not be pricked and peirced to the heart? |

| A13530 | When did Satan set vpon Peter? |
| A13530 | When he saw the inuincible hardnes of heart in his hearers, how did he mourne in his spirit, and looked angerly about him? |
| A13530 | When saw we a drunkard conuerted, or a blasphemer, or a mocke- God, or a rayler at religion? |
| A13530 | Where was there euer a more holy place, a more holy Citie, a more holy Temple, then at Ierusalem? |
| A13530 | Wherefore doe ye tempt the Lord? |
| A13530 | Whether doest thou partake in this power? |
| A13530 | Whether was the state of Lazarus( that died for want of meanes,) or of Diues better that fared deliciously euery day? |
| A13530 | Who can forget the warning of gun- powder, and the present vnfeelingnes of it? |
| A13530 | Who can say, my heart is cleane? |

| A13530 | Who would not thinke himselfe happie to bee Gods fauourite rather then stand to the deuills wages, who for bread will reach him stones? |
| A13530 | Whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, maketh himselfe an enemy to God: now what sinne will an enemy of God sticke at? |
| A13530 | Why did Iob make such couenants with his eyes, but that he knew that without such a fence euery obiect would be as a snare to entrappe his soule? |
| A13530 | Why did Satan make choise of this place? |
| A13530 | Why did he fast so long? |
| A13530 | Why did the Iewes band themselues for Barrabas, and seek to acquit him? |

| A13530 | Why is Satan thus restlesse in tempting? |
| A13530 | Why is it added, that he fasted fourty nights? |

| A13530 | Why so? |
| A13530 | Why tempt yee God, to impose a yoake vpon the Disciples neckes, which neither our Fathers nor we can heare? |
| A13530 | Why was our Sauiour so angry at this temptation aboue the former, wherein he exercised meeknesse and patience? |

| A13530 | Why? |
| A13530 | Why? |
| A13530 | Will he giue all the kingdomes, and all the glory of them to Christ alone? |
| A13530 | Wise Salomon loued too much the vnlawfull pleasures of the world, and how did it rob him of his wisedome? |
| A13530 | Worship him all yee Gods: what is meant by Gods, and whom must the Gods worshippe? |
| A13530 | Would a man cast himselfe into the sea, in hope he should neuer be drowned; or on a perswasion hee should neuer be burnt, cast himselfe into the fire? |
| A13530 | Would we not haue releiued Christ, if we had liued when he did? |
| A13530 | Wouldest thou refuse a whole world rather then sinne against God, or gratifie Satan and thy selfe with the least displeasure of him? |
| A13530 | Wouldst thou be confirmed in assurance that thou art Gods child? |
| A13530 | Yea as if men did see their hearts and inside, how doe they speake it, that such are not the men they make shew of? |
| A13530 | Yea those that haue no calling, must liue too: but how? |
| A13530 | Yes; It was hatred of Christ that made them sticke to him:& why hated they Christ, but because he was the light? |
| A13530 | Yet how common is it, not to seeke to them by night as Saul did, but euen by day, as not ashamed of of it? |
| A13530 | Yet what a number of men hath the deuill thus farre preuailed with, in this violent kind of temptation? |
| A13530 | You are a man rich and high, well friended, well monied; why should you stoope to such a one? |
| A13530 | am I baser then my equall? |
| A13530 | am I not cleane cast out of sight? |
| A13530 | and Hezekiah aske a signe, and Moses, and it was graunted? |
| A13530 | and are not they as skilfull to compare Scriptures, and yet abide in error and heresie? |
| A13530 | and as good stones in the pauement? |
| A13530 | and can he not depart from the whore, that sitteth vpon seuen hills? |
| A13530 | and concludes the Psalme thus, How excellent is thy name through all the world? |
| A13530 | and had he not need so much the more fence himselfe with coat- armour, and flie to God for strength and protection? |
| A13530 | and how farre was he from desisting, notwithstanding the gracious meanes hee had to hinder him? |
| A13530 | and if they be so, why are not blasphemies, and horrible oaths, and innumerable profanations of the Sabbath seuerely punished? |
| A13530 | and is it with thee as with those that entred into that good land, who tasted of the fruits aforehand? |
| A13530 | and is there any great hurt in it? |
| A13530 | and must I not looke to that? |
| A13530 | and of Iudas, that the deuill entred into him, and put into his heart to betray his Lord, if he can not mooue the will? |
| A13530 | and that to be done in hypocrisie, or for commodity, or other sinister ends, which God sees is done in sincerity? |
| A13530 | and then how strongly did Satan assaile him, and preuaile against him to commit incest with his owne daughters? |
| A13530 | and this was the ground of Iudas his speach, Lord, what is the cause, that thou wilt shew thy selfe to vs, and not to the world? |
| A13530 | and were not all els meanes enough to keep him from one forbidden fruit? |
| A13530 | and what did they offer but their dearest things? |
| A13530 | and what saith the Scripture? |
| A13530 | and yet he so besotteth and blindeth others, that they make but a mocke of all, as those in Peter, who mocked and said, Where is his comming? |
| A13530 | are we stronger then he? |
| A13530 | are wee stronger then hee? |
| A13530 | art thou perfect in the way, sincerely obeying God in all his commaundements? |
| A13530 | as to say, What doe ye weeping and breaking my heart? |
| A13530 | because he was 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, a fellow- seruant? |
| A13530 | beeing in want of water and distresse, they contended with Moses, and said, Is the Lord amongst vs? |
| A13530 | but how happily was it changed by the piety of good Iosiah, in whom God made his people more happie then formerly miserable? |
| A13530 | but that Gods feare is vtterly shaken out of their hearts: and where Gods feare is absent, how can we expect any feare of men? |
| A13530 | by sundry plagues of many kinds, and euerie day renewed, renewes some warning or other: And yet, how fall we backe more and more? |
| A13530 | can God see through the thicke cloud? |
| A13530 | can I euer be holpen, and swimme out of this distresse? |
| A13530 | could it stand with his policie, so visibly to assaile the Sonne of God? |
| A13530 | dares he encounter with a lyon, and will he stand in feare of a fearefull hare? |
| A13530 | did he desire Christs preseruation and welfare? |
| A13530 | did he not warne him of his sinne, and beare him most patiently? |
| A13530 | did he not worke miracles in his Name? |
| A13530 | did not Christ make him one of his family, and preferre him to be the steward of his house? |
| A13530 | did not he by his word challenge the Temple to be his Fathers house, and himselfe the Sonne of God? |
| A13530 | did not he know, that Christ was the Messiah, did he not preach him? |
| A13530 | did not he solely and alone ouerthrow and turne out a number of them without resistance? |
| A13530 | doe not I partake of their sinnes? |
| A13530 | doest thou aime at the perfection thereof? |
| A13530 | doest thou grow in grace? |
| A13530 | doest thou not see how they take vpon them to disgrace thee for such and such courses? |
| A13530 | doest thou subiect thy selfe to the law as the rule of thy law? |
| A13530 | doest thou with patience expect the promises, and beginne the heauenly life already? |
| A13530 | doth God regard mee? |
| A13530 | for in the next verse it followeth, The heart of man is deceitfull aboue all things, who can know it? |
| A13530 | for what had the iust man done? |
| A13530 | for, all of them haue a stamp of God vpon them: makest thou conscience of small oaths, vaine words, rouing thoughts? |
| A13530 | had they not infinite signes and miracles both then and afterward? |
| A13530 | hast thou hope, ioy, loue of God, zeale for God, constancie in the truth? |
| A13530 | hast thou receiued the first fruits of the Spirit? |
| A13530 | hath God said thus and thus? |
| A13530 | hath not God sounded the Trumpet to fasting? |
| A13530 | his eye is not satisfied with riches, neither doth he say, For whome doe I thus labour? |

| A13530 | is not Christ a sufficient pay- master? |
| A13530 | is that it he thirsteth after? |

| A13533 | And will the Lord continue his best mercies which are generally thrust away with hatred and scorne? |
| A13533 | And, if CHRIST will come in and feed in and with a beleeving soule, who shall hinder him? |
| A13533 | Are 1260. yeares but a moment? |
| A13533 | Are Magistrates taken up to Gods Throne? |
| A13533 | Are all these enemies so infinite in power, number, wrath, plots, against our peace and salvation? |
| A13533 | Are they not inspired and acted by the devill, and wholy guided by the dragon in minde, will, and affection? |
| A13533 | Are wee cast among men, who, when they can not hurt godly men, yet will not helpe them, but as Balak said to Balaam, neither blesse nor curse them? |

| A13533 | Bee not glad when thine enemy falleth, and let not thy heart rejoyce when he stumbleth; how will this stand with this doctrine? |
| A13533 | Bee there not many of our chiefe men, and most able, that doe not hold Christ in this exercise worth a brasse farthing for many yeares together? |
| A13533 | Beside, how is it but most just, that wee should maintaine his cause to the death, who maintained our cause to the death? |
| A13533 | Besides you have a calling to follow, a charge of children perhaps live of your labour: how can you spare time for such occasions? |
| A13533 | Besides, is not sinne growne to a great height and impudency, as a disease come to the height of his crisis? |
| A13533 | Besides, is she so swift to fly, that the divell can not overtake her? |
| A13533 | Besides, what a generall inclination is in our people to looke backe and runne backe to Popery, to goe a whoring after their abominable Idols? |
| A13533 | But I am base and poore, despised among meane men, and worthily: and how can he affect mee? |
| A13533 | But can one be strong and victorious by anothers strength and victory? |
| A13533 | But can they prevaile against the power of Christ? |

| A13533 | But doe thy lusts sway? |
| A13533 | But doth not the dragon often prevaile to hold off many from soundnesse of grace, and cast many off, as Iudas, Demas? |
| A13533 | But had it not been better for the Church, that the Lord Jesus had cast him downe into hell, and confined him there? |
| A13533 | But here are ten hornes, what is one horne to so many? |
| A13533 | But how are they disappointed? |
| A13533 | But how are they disappointed? |
| A13533 | But how canst thou saie thou lovest him, when his commandements are heavie and irkesome? |
| A13533 | But how doe the godly keepe the Commandements? |
| A13533 | But how doe we take our husbands part, that have no word of defence, or rebuke of those that highly blaspheme his name by word or deed? |
| A13533 | But how doth the devill disarme the Christian? |
| A13533 | But how few are of Davids mind, who had more joy of heart in the cheerefull countenance of God, then others when their corne, wine and oyle increased? |
| A13533 | But how may we finde that we have prevailed over the dragon, and begun this victory? |
| A13533 | But how may we know them? |
| A13533 | But how overcome they? |
| A13533 | But if he have such power for us, why doth he leave us in such weaknesse, and as sheepe ready for the slaughter? |
| A13533 | But if it be meant of the Church militant, whether of the Church of the Iewes, or of the Gentiles? |
| A13533 | But is not Christ here directly meant? |
| A13533 | But sinne drives thee from GOD, and GOD from thee; how darest thou pray or hope to speede? |
| A13533 | But this man- childe is taken up to the Throne of God, now who but Christ ever sate in heaven in the Throne of God? |
| A13533 | But was the life of Christ himselfe led at ease? |
| A13533 | But what doth the Lord all this while to suffer the dragon thus to exercise his rage and domineere over the Church? |
| A13533 | But what had the child done, or when should he devoure it? |
| A13533 | But what hath the poore Woman done? |
| A13533 | But what if they be heathens? |
| A13533 | But what if they be tyrants, oppressors, and offer violence? |
| A13533 | But what if they command unjust and wicked things? |
| A13533 | But what if wee be Christians, are we not then the Lords free men? |
| A13533 | But what if you should set your hand to the Plough and looke back, were you not in farre worse case than before? |
| A13533 | But what is it to have this testimony? |
| A13533 | But what is required to this putting on of Christ? |
| A13533 | But what meanes may this Woman use against all these hornes for her safty? |
| A13533 | But what other expectation from such as lay the principles of their Religion in blood and barbarous inhumanitie, beyond Scithians or Man- eaters? |
| A13533 | But what was the end of this mighty chaine of so many strong linkes? |
| A13533 | But what, is it not the truth that is spoken? |
| A13533 | But what, shall Cleargy men be subject to lay men, must sheepheards be ruled by sheepe? |
| A13533 | But what, shall the Church be devoured by so many and potent horns? |
| A13533 | But whence had the Woman these things? |
| A13533 | But wherein doth the dragon exercise his Princedome? |
| A13533 | But why are wicked men subtile against the Church? |
| A13533 | But why be these so farre below their inferiors, in knowledge, in practise, in use of the meanes? |

| A13533 | or where is the ram? |
| A13533 | or whether should it flow and issue if not to his Sanctuary? |
| A13533 | or who can pay such debts as we owe, but he; both obedience to the whole Law; and satisfaction for the breach of it? |
| A13533 | or who can say it unequall in him, if hee give over such as chuse death, unto him that hath the power of death, that is, the devill? |
| A13533 | or who can stand in his way to hinder his accesse into a beleeving soule? |
| A13533 | or who must pay the wives debt, but the husband: so who else but Iesus Christ can suppply the Church with such things as she needs? |
| A13533 | shal we compare their vain and unstable stability with any thing more vaine? |

| A13535 | & c. imitating herein those mockers in Ieremies time, who said, where is the word of the Lord? |
| A13535 | & that I am a member of this person who is not a member of Christ? |
| A13535 | 1. and of both may be spoken that of the Prophet, haue we not all one Father? |
| A13535 | 10. would he destroie sinne in them? |

| A13535 | 12. the rich man said to his soule, soule take thy rest:& whereupon should it rest? |
| A13535 | 2. Who be they that say, the word and doctrine of the law and Gospel is foolishnesse? |
| A13535 | 2. it is a matter of much moment, to commend a man to be set ouer a people: for which function the Apostle asketh, who is sufficient? |
| A13535 | 2. what times writ Paul in? |
| A13535 | 3. Who professeth not that he serueth God, and( he hopeth) acceptable inough? |
| A13535 | 3. that if the Apostle should aske againe, who separated vs? |
| A13535 | 339 Olde men must first be taught their dutie, why? |
| A13535 | 5. what further good can they wish to Marie now in heauen: But they haue despised the wisedome of God; and what wisedom can be in them? |
| A13535 | Againe, it shall not be enquired in the last iudgement, what thou art not, nor iudgement passe according to that thou hast not; but what art thou? |
| A13535 | Againe, standest thou in neede of any present good, whether any spirituall mercie or temporall fauour? |
| A13535 | Agreeable to that holy prouerb of Salomon: to whom are contentions? |
| A13535 | Alas will some here say, what am I better then such a man as you speake of? |
| A13535 | Alas, am not I a Christian, a beleeuer, am I not called to better things, haue I not promised better? |
| A13535 | Alas, how few are acquainted with such a life as this, which is the beginning of all happinesse and saluation? |
| A13535 | All false religions carrie indeed pretences of the spirit, as Zidkiah smote Michaiah, and said, when went the spirit from mee to thee? |
| A13535 | And at this day, what other is the God of Popish Priests? |
| A13535 | And can all this be done and a man feele no smart? |
| A13535 | And can there be a stronger reason giuen then this which is the Lords owne for the strengthening of his owne prohibition? |
| A13535 | And can we thinke that the Lord sendeth any other: doth he vse to send a message by the hand of a foole? |
| A13535 | And did this sinne die with that age? |
| A13535 | And here commeth another question to be resolued, whether the husband may beate his wife, to force her vnto this subiection? |
| A13535 | And here taketh place that speach of Christ, If you be vnfaithfull in an other mans goods, who shall giue you that which is your owne? |
| A13535 | And how can he be other? |
| A13535 | And how infinitely doe we hereby disadvantage our selues? |
| A13535 | And how is it else that men after so long powerfull preaching, and frequent hearing, remaine ignorant, hard hearted, rebellious? |
| A13535 | And how much more are these spirituall Fathers to be releeued? |
| A13535 | And how much more now since the fall may we thinke is man borne to trauell as the smoke to flie vpward? |
| A13535 | And if any Timothie should aske, But how may I flie these? |
| A13535 | And if we haue not in great part turned away from the truth: where is our former courage, and resolution for it? |
| A13535 | And indeed who can haue part in Christ that will not part from his foule sinnes that he may be cleane? |
| A13535 | And is it not good reason that we should be tied to this word, when euen the Prophets and Apostles were? |
| A13535 | And is not his wrath the messenger of death? |
| A13535 | And no other God serued the false Apostles, who were enemies to the crosse of Christ, but their bellie was their God; why so? |
| A13535 | And ought not such persons also to be an abhomination to good men, in whose eyes euery vile person ought to be contemned? |
| A13535 | And surely, what is the cause we see not such a comfortable communion, but because those that beleeue in God are so heauie vnto good workes? |
| A13535 | And thinke we they shall liue when they are dead, who are dead while they liue? |
| A13535 | And thus by this consideration, the Apostle beateth downe the pride of man, who seperated thee? |
| A13535 | And what an encouragement would it be to pietie and vertue, if publike persons would cherish those who are comming forward? |
| A13535 | And what an vnworthy thing is it, for a Christian to be a fosterer, yea a base s ● ruant to the sinne of an other? |
| A13535 | And what can be more iust? |
| A13535 | And what doth the Poet herein other, then that which the Scriptures are very frequent in? |
| A13535 | And what ground haue they for all this? |
| A13535 | And what is the issue of it? |
| A13535 | And what is the reason of all this, but that as negligent learners, we forget as fast as we learne? |
| A13535 | And what lowder lie then to charge Gods children with damnable heresies? |
| A13535 | And what meruell if vnto vngodly ones the Sacrament he as an emptie boxe, without oyntment, or as a dead letter without spirit? |
| A13535 | And whence can such floods of errors as daily discouer themselues, flow so fast, but from such a corrupt head as this is? |
| A13535 | And where should the gunpowder treason haue beene laid, if the blowe had beene giuen? |
| A13535 | And who can be wonne to giue them any credit, for such swaggering and contemptuous courses? |
| A13535 | And why are Christians, yea Christ himselfe mocked? |
| A13535 | And why did not Diotrephes receiue the Apostles and their doctrine, professing himselfe a Minister among them? |
| A13535 | And why did not the Iewes beleeue the heauenly doctrine of Christ himselfe? |
| A13535 | And why doth Caine hate and kill his brother? |
| A13535 | And yet is there no necessitie hereof, because men see it not? |
| A13535 | Are not my words sweete to him that walketh vprightly? |
| A13535 | Are such errors as are imputed to them knowne and conuinced: or litigious and controuerted? |
| A13535 | Art thou borne by thy second birth to such faire demeanes? |
| A13535 | Art thou by temptation laid in the darke graue of vtter darkenes, death, and damnation in thy owne sense and apprehension? |
| A13535 | Art thou compassed with the darkenesse of Gods displeasure for sinne? |
| A13535 | Art thou in the blacke darkenesse of thy sinnes? |
| A13535 | Art thou in triall, temptation, persecution, want, sicknesse, or other sorow? |
| A13535 | Art thou plunged in the darke deeps of afflictions and miseries? |
| A13535 | Art thou with Christ in thy affection? |
| A13535 | Aske thy selfe then, what good doth my life, to Church, to Commonwealth, to family, to men? |
| A13535 | At how many hands doth the truth go away reproched, yea hated, and persecuted? |
| A13535 | Be they not Christians that make leagues with hell and death, and say, when the sword passeth through the land, I shall be safe, and out of gunshot? |
| A13535 | Besides, saluation beeing but one, and one way vnto it, and Gods decree but one, how should by the former doctrine any infants be saued? |
| A13535 | Besides, what can this make to any secret conueiance of their Masters goods, seeing here was a plaine contract and bargaine, betweene him and Laban? |
| A13535 | Besides, who seeth not that this verie dutie requireth no flatterers, no selfe- seekers, no time seruers? |
| A13535 | Beware of profane Esaus speach, What is this birthright to mee? |
| A13535 | But God forbid that we should not thanke God for euery thing: but if we doe it in generall, or in our hearts, is not this enough? |
| A13535 | But I haue long borne his abuses, I haue sought to him, and it is a bootelesse thing to seeke any more, what would you haue me to doe? |
| A13535 | But alas what hath the righteous done; for what good work do men lay such load on them? |
| A13535 | But alas, are we so neare God as we can not possibly be drawen nearer? |
| A13535 | But alas, what will it profit a man to be a sundaies Saint, and a work- daies Deuil? |
| A13535 | But are not other doctrines true and faithfull, yea as true as this? |
| A13535 | But are you gainsayers of the truth, and must not we resist you? |
| A13535 | But by what meanes may I subdue, and keepe vnder this couetous desire? |
| A13535 | But by whom must these be denied? |
| A13535 | But can none but the greatest clarkes deliuer wholesome doctrine, or was plaine preaching for Saint Paul alone, and such as he? |
| A13535 | But doe the godly worke mercinarily? |
| A13535 | But doe you ascribe the knowledge of God to the naturall man, are not many Scriptures against it? |
| A13535 | But doe you so commit these lawes together, as you make these positiue lawes contrarie to Gods, or condemne them as wicked and vniust? |
| A13535 | But follow this man home, doth he and his house serue the Lord? |
| A13535 | But how can Christ be a Lord, seeing he is euery where called a seruant? |
| A13535 | But how come we to ● nioye them? |
| A13535 | But how come wee to share with him in it? |
| A13535 | But how could Christ by giuing himselfe for so small a time, redeeme all his Church from such infinite euills? |
| A13535 | But how could God promise before the world began, that is, from euerlasting, seeing there was none then to promise vnto? |
| A13535 | But how did they ouerturne mens faith and saluation? |
| A13535 | But how do these men iniurie them selues most of all? |
| A13535 | But how farre must they be avoided? |
| A13535 | But how good were it for them to haue nothing to doe against such iust men? |
| A13535 | But how is this soundnes o ● grace wrought in the heart? |
| A13535 | But how many seruants are there, who in imitation of such a worthie example, would neglect themselues to dispatch their Masters busines? |
| A13535 | But how many thus esteeme of them? |
| A13535 | But how may Christ come and find a number of lazie Christians in his vinyard, to whom he may say, why stand ye idle all day long? |
| A13535 | But how may I knowe whether I loue an other in the faith o ● no? |
| A13535 | But how may a man knowe that he hath this faith, that so the beleeuer may rise vp to the assurance of his election? |
| A13535 | But how may a man knowe whether he receiue this grace in vaine or no? |
| A13535 | But how often haue we heard Popish or profane men alleadge to the contrarie: What should women minde the Scripture, or meddle with religion? |
| A13535 | But how shall I come to any distinct knowledge of this change in my selfe? |
| A13535 | But how shall I know this disease creeping vpon me? |
| A13535 | But how shall I knowe whether I receiue this light aright or no? |
| A13535 | But how shall any Minister attaine this end of his calling? |
| A13535 | But how shall this glorie of Christ appeare to be so bright? |
| A13535 | But how shall we profitably behold the examples of the Saints? |
| A13535 | But how shall we so carrie our selues in our profession, as the word of God be not euill spoken of? |
| A13535 | But how stand we to the libertie, wherein Christ hath set vs free, if we suffer the Magistrate to curb vs of it? |
| A13535 | But how vnwelcome is our counsell? |
| A13535 | But in forsaking the word of the Lord, what wisedome is there? |
| A13535 | But is it in the power of any Minister, or man to haue faithfull children: may not a good man and a Minister too, haue most graceles children? |
| A13535 | But is it the way to tame thy aduersarie, to become like him? |
| A13535 | But it is not thus with vs, we come to heare the truth, and loue it, and hope to hold it vnto the end? |
| A13535 | But may not a seruant auoid the rigour and extremitie of the vniust anger of his master? |
| A13535 | But then say I, is it the word of God thou hearest, and the truth by thy owne confession? |
| A13535 | But they want faith? |
| A13535 | But this is a vaine thing to trouble children, alas what would you haue children to doe? |
| A13535 | But this may seeme a needelesse precept, for is it not naturall for women to loue their husbands and children? |
| A13535 | But was it lawfull for other men to haue more wiues then one at once, seeing the precept is giuen onely to ministers? |
| A13535 | But we are Gentiles, how can we become Abrahams sonnes? |
| A13535 | But we must be wise of heart, to enquire where the wholesome word is, and whither else should we goe? |
| A13535 | But what a miserable shift is this? |
| A13535 | But what can I doe withall, if the spirit teach me not? |
| A13535 | But what if I heare a report of my neighbour, and I haue a vehement suspition, and some presumptions that it is true, may I not vpon those reprooue? |
| A13535 | But what if the Magistrate giue life to ecclesiasticall constitutions of the Church: whether then doe they become such lawes, as bind the conscience? |
| A13535 | But what if the wiues mallice be desperate, and incurable? |
| A13535 | But what is the reason of all this, haue they any cause giuen them? |
| A13535 | But what kinde of Prophet was he, or how was he and the other heathenish prophets distinguished from the true Prophets of God? |
| A13535 | But what may not a man be merrie, and what was wine ordained else vnto, and if any other man, why not a Minister? |
| A13535 | But what may we doe to get approbation of God? |
| A13535 | But what must he hold so fast? |
| A13535 | But what preacheth he, whether any errors, or the pure doctrine of God? |
| A13535 | But what shall we say of them, who by open wicked life, professe contempt of God and his word, hatred of the light and the bringers of it? |
| A13535 | But what were these fables? |
| A13535 | But where is the word of the Lord, to free these from beeing fables? |
| A13535 | But where is this harmonie of doctrine and life in such a one? |
| A13535 | But where is this sufficient conuiction? |
| A13535 | But where were Ezechiel, Daniel, Zacharie, Hagge, or what were they doing to suffer all the Scriptures to be lost in their times? |

| A13535 | But whether may priuate Christians auoid an open notorious sinner, before the Church haue reiected him? |
| A13535 | But who is it that feeleth not within himselfe the wofull fruites of this captiuitie? |
| A13535 | But who seeth not, that these waters were dead without the spirits moouing? |
| A13535 | But whose mindes are deceiued? |
| A13535 | But why doth Paul call him a Prophet? |
| A13535 | But why doth the Apostle so carefully adde this circumstance not here onely, but also in so many other places of Scripture? |
| A13535 | But why may not God change his will, which euen a creature may doe without sinne? |
| A13535 | But why should men stand vpon such precise points, such fellowlike men maintaine good companie, and win the hearts of their people? |
| A13535 | But why should they depriue themselues of their libertie, and the comfort of that estate? |
| A13535 | But will some say, could this beeing but one point subuert all? |
| A13535 | But yet Iehu is sent to reprooue him for his societie with wicked Ahab, saying, Wouldst thou helpe the wicked, and loue them that hate the Lord? |
| A13535 | By which meanes how might the younger be prouoked to take vp into their affection and practise the loue of the truth and the feare of God? |
| A13535 | Canst thou pray in faith, and crie in assurance, Abba, Father? |
| A13535 | Depart from vs, we will not the knowledge of thy waies; and, who is the almightie, that we should serue him? |
| A13535 | Did Dauid so? |
| A13535 | Did God thus freely loue vs when we were not? |
| A13535 | Did euer the world abound as at this day, with Worldlings, Libertines, Atheists, Newters, and Epicures? |
| A13535 | Did not Paul when the Church of Galatia had reuolted from the Doctrine of free iustification by Christ, yet call and account it a Church still? |
| A13535 | Do we not see the Iewes charged as not circumcised, although they had the skinne of their flesh cut? |
| A13535 | Doe any of the Rulers and Pharisies beleeue in him? |
| A13535 | Doe we see the daies wherein iniquitie aboundeth? |
| A13535 | Doe we through faith destroie the law? |
| A13535 | Doe ye reward him, O foolish people? |
| A13535 | Dost thou continue in prayer? |
| A13535 | Dost thou hope then to be like Christ when he appeareth? |
| A13535 | Dost thou loue God for himselfe, and thy neighbour for Gods sake? |
| A13535 | Doth a father loose his loue when he correcteth his sonne whom he tenderly loueth? |
| A13535 | Doth the Church of God and the number of Gods people acknowledge this chang in thee? |
| A13535 | Examine thy soule then, are the statutes of the Lord thy delight, thy solace, thy songs in this time of thy pilgrimage? |
| A13535 | Fiftly, on the contrarie what horrors of their fearefull apostacie, haue many carried to their graues? |
| A13535 | Finally, wouldst thou haue eloquence added to all these former abilliments, without which they could not be but obscure? |
| A13535 | Findest thou thy whole conuersation to be now a constant practise of righteousnes and holynes? |
| A13535 | First, there must be doctrine, else let his life be neuer so good, it is a dumbe shewe, should not the sheepheard feede the flocke, saith the Lord? |
| A13535 | For 1. how doe the liues of most men shew that the spirit which lusteth after envie ruleth them? |
| A13535 | For 1. what can be more equall then that he that laboureth in the Gospel should liue of the Gospel? |
| A13535 | For 1. what sound comfort can any Minister finde in life or in death, but in beeing found faithfull? |
| A13535 | For 1. who doth not professe of himselfe, that he loueth God with all his heart, and it were pitie else that he should liue? |

| A13535 | God forgiueth to that man which iniureth thee much more then thou cansts; he forgiueth him infinite sinnes, and canst not thou passe by one offence? |

| A13535 | Nay, doth he enioyne me but some small peece of seruice for mine owne good, and vrge me thereto with the remembrance of his former grace towards me? |
| A13535 | Now alas what a generall deceit is this? |
| A13535 | Now alas, how farre are readers, and dumb men from this one part of the dutie of a Minister? |
| A13535 | Now can God vouchsafe a blessing vpon that, which his vnchangeable word hath blasted alreadie? |
| A13535 | Now hereby who seeth not that hereby men loose the verie thing which maketh them men, and distinguish them from the bruites without vnderstanding? |

| A13535 | Now how fewe returne backe to the pit whence they are digged? |
| A13535 | Now how much are such beggars as we,( called to such aduancements) bound to walke worthy of such a condition, as to which in Christ we are called? |
| A13535 | Now if all such as thus must be holy are inhibited mariage, where should we seeke an holy seede? |
| A13535 | Now shall God, and all other men account them but one, and shall themselues by beeing diuided in affection remaine two? |
| A13535 | Now what a fearefull thing is it for a man to wander all his life long, from that station and seruice in which the Lord hath set him? |
| A13535 | Now what an hatefull thing is it that a Christian should be endited at the Lords barre for a common barrater, and quarreller? |
| A13535 | Now what communion can be betweene truth and falsehood? |
| A13535 | Now what must the Minister doe in this case? |
| A13535 | Now which of these must we beleeue? |
| A13535 | Now who euer rise vp against God, and prospered? |
| A13535 | Now who seeth not, that the remembrance of a thing is a farre diuerse thing from the thing remembred? |
| A13535 | Now who seeth not, that when the Apostle writ this Epistle, all such distinctions of men were ceased? |
| A13535 | Of such as are Christians, and of the number of beleeuers, how are many crazy and ouergrowne with bad and vicious humors? |
| A13535 | Oh how can I do this wickednes against such a master? |
| A13535 | Oh thou of little faith, why doubtedst thou? |
| A13535 | Oh what a disgrace is it, that we should be inferiour to those who obtained but the shadowes? |
| A13535 | On the contrarie, Ely, otherwise a good man, how seuerely was he with his whole house corrected, for neglect of this duty? |
| A13535 | On the inordinacie of thy desire: for how little is nature contented with? |
| A13535 | Or else wouldst thou haue a dexteritie and facultie in the quicke resoluing of doubts? |
| A13535 | Or how could our peace with God continue our comfort, or last with vs, if we had no assurance of it, but still doubted of his loue? |
| A13535 | Or what great good can good moods do? |
| A13535 | Other things haue a shewe of wisedome, but if the word of the Lord be forsaken, what truth of wisedom can be in them? |
| A13535 | Others replie and say, oh but we are not so fruitlesse as you take vs, and what desire you more? |
| A13535 | Others reply, what are words but winde, and God is not so strait- laced: if a man should goe to hell fo ● euerie word, who shall come to heauen? |
| A13535 | Ought not Christ to suffer, and then enter into his glorie? |
| A13535 | Profane Ministers are hence admonished o ● their danger and vnfitnes: how dare they take Gods name in their mouthes, when they hate to be reformed? |
| A13535 | Reprooue with all long suffering, how can that stand with this precept of sharpe reproofe? |
| A13535 | Secondly, It will be inquired, whether euerie minister must be harborous and hospitable? |
| A13535 | Secondly, are none commanded to be holy but the Priests, and not as well all the Israelites? |
| A13535 | Secondly, how is baptisme then the lauer of regeneration? |
| A13535 | Secondly, in mens speaches, how doth Satan tippe many mens tongues and set them on fire with all manner of malicious and murdering speaches? |
| A13535 | See we not how if neuer so grosse or slender a point of carnall libertie be contended about, it will carrie the applause almost of all men with i ●? |
| A13535 | See we not that the dishes of our fathers were nothing so costly as our sauces? |
| A13535 | Shall God command thee to bring out thy riotous sonne to stoning; and wilt thou rather strenghthen him in this sinne? |
| A13535 | Sharpely,] It will heare be demanded, what is this sharpe reproofe here mentioned? |
| A13535 | So as looke what Mordecai said of Hesters aduancement, Who can tell whether thou art come to the kingdome for this time? |
| A13535 | So as the building of Gods house, is not vnlike to the finishing of other great buildings: with what labour are stones digged out of the earth? |
| A13535 | So how many ciuill, iust dealing, and harmeles men, euerie where are there at this day, who ouerthrowe themselues with this deceit? |
| A13535 | So we finde them in the place alleadged: who is a wise and faithfull seruant, whom the Lord may make ruler ouer his house? |
| A13535 | Standest thou in feare of any euill, or hard measure from Satan or men? |
| A13535 | Such were ye, but ye are washed, ye are iustified ye are sanctified: but by what meanes, by the waters of baptisme? |
| A13535 | The Angel of Gods face or presence: who could euer get a comfortable sight of God without Christ? |
| A13535 | The Apostle seeming to prohibit all euill speaking, whether is it not lawfull to speake the euill we know by another, so we speake nothing but truth? |
| A13535 | The Apostle wisheth vs to walke as children of light: but how shall we doe that? |
| A13535 | The Lord gaue Iezabel a time to repent, but she repented not: and what was the issue of it? |
| A13535 | The Minister then must be patient and suffer the euill: But what, when he heareth them floute at the word, blaspheme, raile on the Ministers? |
| A13535 | The Prophet Hosee sheweth the nearest reason that we can reach vnto of this grace of God; I will loue them freely: but wherfore? |
| A13535 | The Prophet Zephanie noted in his time such a knot of vngodly men that were frozen in their dregges: but how came they to this setlednesse in sinne? |
| A13535 | The former, whether Popish religion may be tollerated in a countrie professing the truth of Christian doctrine, as ours by Gods blessing doth? |
| A13535 | The like precept was giuen vpon the like occasion to the Iewes, that they should not marrie, nor get children: Why? |
| A13535 | The loue of Christ were it present, would constraine men to feed his sheepe: Peter, saith Christ, louest thou mee? |
| A13535 | The reasonings of the spirit in the Scriptures are of another kinde: Doth grace abound? |
| A13535 | The second Question is, whether Protestants may marrie with Papists? |
| A13535 | The second point is, why soundnes of faith is required rather of old men, beeing a grace which euery one, young aswell as old, must striue vnto? |
| A13535 | The second question is, Why this name is here prefixed? |
| A13535 | The third generall point is; How all things are pure to the pure? |
| A13535 | The third point in this second doctrine is, wherefore we must be subiect? |
| A13535 | Their Philosophers, Poets, Orators, and wisemen, of whome what vice was it which was not brought into disgrace? |
| A13535 | These would doe good but they can not; they would not doe euill, but they do it; which of these two now are more Puritanes? |
| A13535 | They might aske, but how shall we attaine hereunto: haue we not cares, and charges vpon vs? |
| A13535 | Thirdly, if thou castest downe thine eyes lower, what can Satan himselfe doe more then lay stumbling blockes to withdrawe men from God? |
| A13535 | Thirdly, why should not we thus prouide against that rainie day, and furnish our selues against the euill of it? |
| A13535 | This requireth the presence and residence of the minister with his flocke; for if hee be ordinarily absent, how can he be an example vnto them? |
| A13535 | This was it which made Dauid powre out his verie heart, when the enemie taunted and said, where is now thy God? |
| A13535 | Thus God is professed a father, but where is his honour? |
| A13535 | Thus Paul prooueth himselfe an Apostle, Am not I an Apostle? |
| A13535 | Thus he hath the things, but little or no good of them: for what is the goodnes of a thing, besides the vse of it? |
| A13535 | To desire fit instruction in the ministerie, and come to vs as the people, Publicans, soldiers, to Iohn, Master, what shall we doe? |
| A13535 | True it is that knowledge is profitable, is sweet, and profound: But what then? |
| A13535 | Want we any grace? |
| A13535 | Was it euer heard that a dumbe Minister by his life conuerted a soule to God? |
| A13535 | Was there any office aboue the Apostles in the Church? |
| A13535 | Was there euer such coldnes, loosenes, deadnes, heauines, drowsines, and earthlines, in professors? |
| A13535 | Was this a faithfull word in Pauls time, and is it not so still? |
| A13535 | We behold indeed the glorie of the Lord with open face, but how fewe are transformed into the same image? |
| A13535 | We haue a common saying when we see our selues ouerseene, or ouertaken in any temporall and outward thing; Oh what a beast was I? |
| A13535 | Well maist thou cheare vp thy heart and say, why art thou cast downe my soule? |
| A13535 | Well said that noble Eunuch, How can I vnderstand without an interpreter? |
| A13535 | Were Elias, and Elizeus Scismatikes, because they departed from Ieroboams worship? |
| A13535 | Were it not most disgracefull for a Christian to be counted a theife, or a continuall robber in the high way, or a continuall breaker of the peace? |

| A13535 | What a greefe and cut would it be for thee, who hast not laid aside forehead with conscience, to heare the Papists triumph because of thee? |
| A13535 | What a rich blessing then is a religious and vertuous Kings, from whom his people vnder God receiue the whole benefit of religion and iustice? |
| A13535 | What an happie change of things should our eies see, if this one charge of the Apostle were duely obserued? |
| A13535 | What horrible blasphemie then is daily practised in the Popish Churches? |
| A13535 | What is it then the Apostle condemneth? |
| A13535 | What is then the vse of this meeknesse? |
| A13535 | What is this other then a treading vnder foote that blood which should haue washed vs? |
| A13535 | What light soeuer can befall a Christian, is by meanes of this: Art thou in the darkenesse of ignorance and blindnesse? |
| A13535 | What meane men then to feare least they should be too pure, and too holy? |
| A13535 | What meaneth it that this husband must haue faithfull children; if he may not haue a wise other then the Church? |
| A13535 | What meruaile is it then, if the wicked would faine stifle and choke the noise of their conscience? |
| A13535 | What neede the Gospel then teach ouer the same thing againe? |
| A13535 | What no libertie, no not in our gossepings, and womanly meetings? |
| A13535 | What other was the white which the authors of scisme, and heads of faction aymed at? |
| A13535 | What place in the Scripture can more effectually exclude the merit of life? |
| A13535 | What, a Christian at Church, and a companion at home? |
| A13535 | What, are not thoughts free, but Gods law must bind them? |
| A13535 | What, doth the Apostle proclaime armes? |
| A13535 | When Dauid would haue spared rebellious Absolon, did not the Lord hang him by the haire betweene heauen and earth vnder an oke? |
| A13535 | When doe we vse them in faith? |
| A13535 | When he came to Ierusalem, did he withdrawe himselfe when he knewe the Iewes sought to apprehend him, as he at some other times had done? |
| A13535 | When he shall beginne to say in himselfe, with Ioseph, there is none greater in the house then I, follow the matter as he did: Shall I doe this sinne? |
| A13535 | Whence are all our plagues in the Church,& in the land, but for want of not acknowledging the truths, which haue bin clearer then the sun to our eyes? |
| A13535 | Where is now that vnderstanding of a man, which Salomon saith, maketh him long- suffring? |
| A13535 | Where is now the wisdome which is from above? |
| A13535 | Where is the communion of Saints become? |
| A13535 | Where now lieth the fault? |
| A13535 | Where shall we haue them? |
| A13535 | Wherein 1. it is to be enquired who is meant, by this Prophet? |
| A13535 | Wherein then standeth this separation? |
| A13535 | Whether a man may with a safe conscience eate flesh at times prohibited by the Magistrate? |
| A13535 | Whether good men only are to be loued, and not euill? |

| A13535 | Who can tell the number of cruell and vnmercifull lyons? |
| A13535 | Who did giue sucke vnto Christ, but his owne mother? |
| A13535 | Who euer saw whole Churches or countries reformed on the suddaine? |
| A13535 | Who hath euer taken the sword( God not putting it into his hand) but he perished by it? |
| A13535 | Who hath not seene the curse of God in the house of the lyar and theife? |
| A13535 | Who is it that openeth his hād and filleth all things? |
| A13535 | Who is the man that desireth to see peace and good daies here vpon earth among men? |
| A13535 | Who must avoide them? |
| A13535 | Who then can looke to escape? |
| A13535 | Who was nurse to Samuel, but his owne mother? |
| A13535 | Why did not he reueale things before? |
| A13535 | Why first to the Iewe? |
| A13535 | Why is this doctrine called wholesome? |
| A13535 | Why should then the gazing vpon any of these outward things, dazle or perish any mans eye? |
| A13535 | Why then ha ● t thou not profited? |
| A13535 | Would any Minister edifie his people? |
| A13535 | Would any man be taught to saluation? |
| A13535 | Would men deale thus in ciuill things? |
| A13535 | Wouldest thou be at peace with the creatures, and haue a league stricken with the stone in the wall, and beast of the field? |
| A13535 | Wouldest thou be fenced now against all these afterclappes? |
| A13535 | Wouldest thou finde him faithfull vnto thee? |
| A13535 | Wouldest thou haue thy seruant to please thee in all things? |
| A13535 | Wouldest thou know what ambition Christ hath permitted vnto his Ministers? |
| A13535 | Wouldest thou not offend men, nor that men should offend thee? |
| A13535 | Wouldst thou haue him a profitable seruant to thee? |
| A13535 | Yea, but parents say, what would you haue vs doe? |
| A13535 | Yet euen of vs, how few are there whom the truth hath set free from lusts, and seruice of some sinne or other? |
| A13535 | Yet this detracteth not from that truth laid downe: For 1. how many will not grant the Gospel their presence, their bodies, their eares? |
| A13535 | a bible in thy hands at Church, and presently a paire of cardes or dice at home? |
| A13535 | a drunkard? |
| A13535 | a riotous, perfidious, idle, or vncleane person? |
| A13535 | a tauerner? |
| A13535 | a workeman indeed, and such a one as need not be ashamed? |
| A13535 | after that, how was that law written by his owne fingers, generally corrupted, and violated? |
| A13535 | againe, how basely do they deeme of Apostolicall constitutions, in regard of their own deuises? |
| A13535 | against simple men? |
| A13535 | all mankind? |
| A13535 | an iniurious robbing men of their goods, which he before God hath no right vnto? |
| A13535 | and Peter of Iohn, Master, what shall this man doe? |
| A13535 | and a cruell murthering of their soules for want of knowledge? |
| A13535 | and answer according to truth be made, surely none, what lesse could a contemner of the Gospel haue done? |
| A13535 | and beeing so, are they not all dated? |
| A13535 | and can they contend vnlesse they be taught how, and here instructed with weapons? |
| A13535 | and doth he not many waies threaten to take away the meanes from those that are left? |
| A13535 | and establish againe the olde one of workes, which was to giue place to the new? |
| A13535 | and how could himselfe haue beene raised but after, or we but by his abasement? |
| A13535 | and how easily doth he preuaile against them, when they haue pluckt themselues from vnder Gods protection? |
| A13535 | and how iust is it that such as will not know the voice, should know the hand of God? |
| A13535 | and how often doth our religion heare it selfe disgraced, in that it is embraced by women, who they say are simple, and easily seduced? |
| A13535 | and how worthily doth he forfeit all these sweet fruits of it, who will be at no costs nor paines for it? |
| A13535 | and if they be brethren, why is there such dissention among them? |
| A13535 | and if they did, why can not other beleeuers? |
| A13535 | and is it any other then the voice of Antichrist, which shall say that it is no certaine word at least to me, vnlesse the Church say so? |
| A13535 | and is not all Scripture of diuine inspiration? |
| A13535 | and is not heauen as open for mee as for others? |
| A13535 | and is not this that which all the Prophets and Moses said should come to passe? |
| A13535 | and not rather according to the commandement, that euerie one should contend for the faith once giuen? |
| A13535 | and of how many women doth the Apostle in his salutations giue more then common report of their loue and faithfulnes in the truth? |
| A13535 | and so what is the ministerie to thee, if it be not the ministerie of thy faith? |
| A13535 | and that Christ broke downe this partition wall? |
| A13535 | and that meat and cloth are for the bellie and back, and perish with the vse, for God shall destroie both? |
| A13535 | and that which is indeede sinne, and inordinate lust should be their chiefe pleasure, vnto which they sacrifice? |
| A13535 | and that whome the vocall word can not reclaime, the reall word of the Lord should ouertake? |
| A13535 | and the Pastors haue neuer a voice to driue awaie wolues from the Lords foldes? |
| A13535 | and the labourers in his vinyard eate of the fruite? |
| A13535 | and the word shall be still returned vpon himselfe, how can it be expected that he should do good amongst them? |
| A13535 | and then why boastest thou as if thou hadst not receiued it? |
| A13535 | and then, will it doe my profession no wrong? |
| A13535 | and to reproach others as beeing so? |
| A13535 | and was yet the truth euer more glorious and shining then at this day? |
| A13535 | and were it not now fitter for beleeuers, then liue so priuately minded as many? |
| A13535 | and what is his life, but a liuing out of a lawfull calling? |
| A13535 | and what shal separate vs from the loue of God? |
| A13535 | and what the sonne of my wombe? |
| A13535 | and when euery scoffer shall be readie to say to him; art thou become weake like one of vs? |
| A13535 | and when the Lord would chuse a nurse for Moses, the greatest Prophet that euer was, whom did he deliuer him vnto rather then his owne mother? |
| A13535 | and who shall stand in his holy place? |
| A13535 | and would not I haue God to deale in iustice with me, and shall I stand altogether vpon iustice and lawe with an other? |
| A13535 | and yet what part of Apostolicall writing is it not most consonant vnto? |
| A13535 | are they not especially from these couetous lusts, which fight in the members? |
| A13535 | are thine eyes opened that thou canst say with the blind man; One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I am sure I see? |
| A13535 | are we not rather to trie the spirits, and try all things, that we may hold our selues to that which is good? |
| A13535 | art thou heyre to such a goodly birth- right? |
| A13535 | as Dauid said of Goliahs sword, there is none to that: so there is no sword of the spirit but this: would he raise the afflicted? |
| A13535 | be they not Christians that thus blesse themselues in their iniquitie? |
| A13535 | but by whom? |
| A13535 | but if a minister, oh this requires one able to build vp the bodie of Christ, and who is sufficient for this thing? |
| A13535 | but none of them said, master is it Iudas? |
| A13535 | but not with faith and repentance in their hearts, and therefore shall they finde him? |
| A13535 | by priuate men? |
| A13535 | came he not to send fire, desiring nothing more then that it should be kindled? |
| A13535 | came not he with his fanne in his hand to diuide betweene the chaffe and the wheate; the which shall neuer be wholly seuered till the haruest? |
| A13535 | can a beleeuer be so slacke, so heauie, so idle, so secure, so couetous, so contentious, so scandalous as I am? |
| A13535 | can a blackmoore change his skinne, or a leopard his spottes? |
| A13535 | can euill trees bring forth good fruits? |
| A13535 | can he command any thing so soone, but I must needs call to minde such free grace formerly bestowed? |
| A13535 | can it be thought vnequall, if we take more care then vsuall of freeing it from contempt, which is more then euer? |
| A13535 | can not his power grinde his enemies to powder? |
| A13535 | cleansed from sinne? |
| A13535 | clensed with water through the word ▪ namely, beleeued: for whence else can water haue power to wash the soule? |
| A13535 | committed almost without all feare? |
| A13535 | consider the fruit of sinnefull pleasures for a season, the best is shame and sorrowe, and what then is the worst? |
| A13535 | did he finde vs any whit better then them? |
| A13535 | do they not plainely manifest that they assent not to the word, that either their sinnes are so haynous, or hell so ho ● e as the word speaketh? |
| A13535 | doe any seruants so deale with their master, and not be turned out of doores? |
| A13535 | doe not you see you haue a great Prophet to giue entertainment vnto? |
| A13535 | doe they not then( as one Philosopher said of an other) contemne the pride of the world, but with more pride? |
| A13535 | doe we see any man let his house, but from yeare to yeare, but he will surely bind the tenant to constant reparation, as often as neede shall require? |
| A13535 | doe you see your sister Martha medling with such matters? |
| A13535 | dost thou feele the prickings of the Law, and the lenitives of the Gospel? |
| A13535 | dost thou professe an holy religion, and by the loosenes of thy life, makest that holy way of God euill spoken of? |
| A13535 | dost thou sauour the things of God? |
| A13535 | doth he not now iustly expect for sweete fruits answerable to his labour with vs? |
| A13535 | doth he not say, that he writ this by permission,& not by commandement? |
| A13535 | doth he read, instruct, pray there? |
| A13535 | doth he that praiseth gold, dispraise siluer? |
| A13535 | doth not the offence of one of Christs little ones bring woe inough, but thou must offend euery one of them? |
| A13535 | doth the loynes of many blesse thee, and the blessing of the poore and widow returne vpon thee? |
| A13535 | euen so is it not the Lord Iesus that in his word telleth thee of all thy waies? |
| A13535 | for if the eye be dark, how great is this darknes? |
| A13535 | for is he a fit man to raise others to heauen, whose owne heart is rooted in the earth? |
| A13535 | for to whom writ the Apostle? |
| A13535 | for treasures of wickednes shall not profit: and can his hand blesse that which his lawe hath cursed, as sinne or ioyned with sinne? |
| A13535 | for what other is the death of the soule, but to be separated from God the fountaine of life? |
| A13535 | for who deale they against? |
| A13535 | greedie gripes? |
| A13535 | had not Satan deuised shoulders, which had borne a many such malitious imputations before? |
| A13535 | hast thou any thing aboue another which thou hast not receiued? |
| A13535 | hast thou bin diligent in trayning vp thy family in Gods feare? |
| A13535 | hast thou receiued the spirit of Iesus Christ? |
| A13535 | hast thou thy spirituall sences restored thee? |
| A13535 | hast thou with Onesephorus, often refreshed the Saints? |
| A13535 | hath he a little Church in his house? |
| A13535 | hath he breathed the breath of life into the face of thy soule? |
| A13535 | hath he called vs out of the world, which lieth in wickednes, vnto holinesse; and so fitteth vs to euery good word and worke? |
| A13535 | hath he promised that he will dispose of all things to the best to thee that louest him? |
| A13535 | hath he said Ephata to thine eares, that now they are become the other sence of spirituall illumination, and vnderstanding? |
| A13535 | hath he said that no good thing shall be wanting to thee that fearest him? |
| A13535 | hath not he taken many from the meanes? |
| A13535 | hath the Lord by the word of his grace giuen mee a free pardon, and deliuered me from all this wofull estate? |
| A13535 | hath the Lord separated vs vnto his owne vse, not only to glorifie himselfe in vs, but after a speciall manner to be glorified by vs? |
| A13535 | haue I not seene Christ? |
| A13535 | haue they not seemed to outgoe, yea out- runne others towards the heauenly Ierusalem? |
| A13535 | haue yee done all your husbandrie about home in your own hearts, in your callings and seuerall conditions of life? |
| A13535 | haue you no huswiferie to set your selfe about? |
| A13535 | he is the life: I goe away, saith hee, and you die in your sinnes: wantest thou peace of conscience? |
| A13535 | hearest thou his sayings in which thou testifiest thy loue? |
| A13535 | hee is the Prince of peace: wantest thou direction and wisedome to order thy waies aright? |
| A13535 | here in the companie of Saints, and there of deuills incarnate? |
| A13535 | here of them that feare an oath, and there of them that can not speake one sentence without an oath for the preface? |
| A13535 | how are we bound hand and foote in chaines of darkenesse, further then the sonne by setting vs free hath enlarged vs? |
| A13535 | how at this day? |
| A13535 | how can he be called a voice that is dumb? |
| A13535 | how can it be ascribed vnto the high maiestie of God? |
| A13535 | how can we but conceiue of the iustice and truth of that speach, the seeker of vengeance hath found it? |
| A13535 | how can ye speake well beeing euill? |
| A13535 | how carefull should we be to set them in ioynt againe tenderly; couering the bitter pill of reproofe with sugred perswasion? |
| A13535 | how coldly shall he perswade others that godlinesse is great gaine, whose gaine is all his godlinesse? |
| A13535 | how could any man say, I and my house will serue the Lord? |
| A13535 | how could so many of our age scorne religion, contemne godlinesse, outface goodnesse and conscience? |
| A13535 | how could we suffer with Christ, vnlesse we had hope to raigne with him? |
| A13535 | how dangerous are they in their places? |
| A13535 | how doth Satan watch all advantages to take them, when they are out of their wayes? |
| A13535 | how doth the wise man say, that by a wise woman the house is built vp? |
| A13535 | how exceeding odious were these things in them, aboue younger persons? |
| A13535 | how exceedingly might they helpe forward the ministerie in all sorts? |
| A13535 | how experienced had that man need to be, who is as Gods owne mouth to separate betweene the pretious and the vile? |
| A13535 | how farre from hauing any part in the merit of Christ, who hath dearely by his precious blood bought the reconcilement of all things? |
| A13535 | how fearefull a sinne were it to turne this grace into wantonnes, or to neglect and yet much more despise so great saluation? |
| A13535 | how in the tenne persecutions? |
| A13535 | how is it that we reade of families called Churches? |
| A13535 | how is such reioysing mingled with trembling? |
| A13535 | how is the land in many places filled with the knowledge of God? |
| A13535 | how many scorne it in others? |
| A13535 | how many sinnes attend it? |
| A13535 | how might brethren liue together in vnitie, although they retained some difference in iudgement in things circumstantiall and of lesser moment? |
| A13535 | how much better had that sparkle beene with himselfe extinct, before it had come to set the whole world on fire? |
| A13535 | how much lesse should the Ministers who are the Lords Souldiers, Captaines, and Standart bearers goe to warre of their owne costs? |
| A13535 | how much more should the Lords shepheard eate of the milke of his flocke? |
| A13535 | how should the spirit of Moses coole and moderate the spirit of Elias towards brethren? |
| A13535 | how should we reioyce in that the time of refreshing and restoaring all things is come? |
| A13535 | how vnanswerable were it vnto this profession of Christianitie, which can not become a kingdome deuided against it selfe? |
| A13535 | how vnfaithfull is the sleepie watchman who that he may haue ease careth not to betraie an whole citie? |
| A13535 | how were his lawes ingrauen in the tables of mens hearts so forgotten, as he must be forced to write them in tables of stone? |
| A13535 | if he should not beare with some faults, and take none at the worst? |
| A13535 | in all things giue thankes? |
| A13535 | is any member in the bodie so despised? |
| A13535 | is he not mercifull? |
| A13535 | is he not your father? |
| A13535 | is not this to heape coales on their owne heads, which will burne to the bottome of hell? |
| A13535 | is there no iustice to be gotten at the Magistrates hand? |
| A13535 | it is to purge me from all my sinnes, both the guilt, and the dominion: haue I promises? |
| A13535 | let him hold fast this word: would he teach them Christ? |
| A13535 | making his calling knowne to be committed vnto him, not of men, nor by men, but by Iesus Christ? |
| A13535 | may not the Lord iustly complaine of vs as he did once of his owne people? |
| A13535 | mercie is with him that he may be feared: hath Christ blood? |
| A13535 | must Christs Ministers be silent? |
| A13535 | must hurtfull doctrine be winked at, and suffered still to creepe in to the destruction of many? |
| A13535 | nay, was I vnder damnation before, as the bringing of saluation implyeth? |
| A13535 | needed the Lord haue bin at halfe the cost and labour with vs for such fruits as these; or is this that returne which he expecteth of all his paines? |
| A13535 | no, but by the Church: and shall not a whole Church, or many Churches challenge the same forme of proceeding? |
| A13535 | offer sacrifices Ilasticall, and Eucharisticall? |
| A13535 | oh no, I am not sure, nor I thinke can any man be, but I haue a good hope; but whence is this hope of yours? |
| A13535 | oh this must teach me to denie vngodlines& worldly lusts: hath God mercie? |
| A13535 | or against whom doe they rise vp? |
| A13535 | or are they such as ouerturne religion, and saluation? |
| A13535 | or are you in so goodly a field, and can you want worke? |
| A13535 | or art thou one of that number that tooke it greeuously that Peter, and Iohn taught the people, and preached Christ? |
| A13535 | or can a woman ● ate her owne flesh: can the members but loue the head? |
| A13535 | or can grace which fitteth her owne habitation frame the heart it taketh vp to lesse then the endeauour in all these? |
| A13535 | or can thy calling be sound, who so long a time didst fight against the truth? |
| A13535 | or if he can not, how can he doe all things, and remaine omnipotent? |
| A13535 | or if we consider them as they were also antetypes of Christs puritie, the high Priest of a better couenant, are they not expired? |
| A13535 | or is there none in Gods hand, that by thine owne priuate reuenge thou wilt become both a Magistrate and a God to thy selfe? |
| A13535 | or rather that himselfe hath not wilfully profaned the name and couenant of God: as Iudah did, by marrying the daughter of a strange God? |
| A13535 | or shall not his right hand finde them out? |
| A13535 | or stirre them vp to contention? |
| A13535 | or that those who sow spirituall things should reape temporall? |
| A13535 | or that with Sanballat and Tobiah, who were sore greeued that a man was come who sought the good of Ierusalem? |
| A13535 | or what haue we to deale with them, or they with vs? |
| A13535 | or what if he will not speake the truth, because he will not be a meddler, or beare the times displeasure? |
| A13535 | or what must we doe while the Church winketh, and will not doe her dutie in casting them out? |
| A13535 | or what wicked custome or practise didst thou break off in thy gouernement? |
| A13535 | or what worthines was in Paul himselfe? |
| A13535 | or where was the watchfull eie of God, could it winke, or nodde, or not see, or not preuent the perishing of his word vtterly from the Church? |
| A13535 | or who euer kicked against such prickes, and bruised not himselfe? |
| A13535 | or who hath spoiled him of his soueraigntie ouer his creatures? |
| A13535 | or who of reason is so young as he cold not daily obserue it? |
| A13535 | or would he shut another mans mouth euen in opening it? |
| A13535 | put vp their prayers vnto him, and receiue from him instruction and speciall direction? |
| A13535 | seeing my master hath thus aduanced me, how can I do this? |
| A13535 | set in to the visible Church, yea, into the bodie of Christ, in the right vse of this Sacrament? |
| A13535 | shall I defile my selfe with vnlawfull stolen pleasures? |
| A13535 | shall I sort my selfe with wicked persons in wicked practises? |
| A13535 | shall filthie, false, or swearing words be heard proceeding out of my mouth? |
| A13535 | shall greene leaues make vs good trees, or good words good Christians? |
| A13535 | shall he create all these things to giue vs, and shall we be so vnmannerly, yea and profane, as neuer to thanke him? |
| A13535 | shall he ransome vs, and giue vs perfect freedome, that we with the vnthankefull Israelites, should runne backe againe to our former bondage? |
| A13535 | shall iniustice, oppression, vsurie,& c. be found with me? |
| A13535 | shall the eies of all things looke vp vnto God, to receiue their meate from his hand? |
| A13535 | shall the light of the sunne be seauen fold greater vnto vs then euer before, and yet we stumble and fall, as if we were cast into the midnight? |
| A13535 | shall the rauens call vpon him for their foode? |
| A13535 | shall we with Salomons foole, make but a mocke of sinne, which cost Christ so deare to expiate? |
| A13535 | should I cast backe weake ones by such fruites in me a professor? |
| A13535 | should I cast off the care of my brethren, and bring shame on all my fathers house? |
| A13535 | should I make the deuill glad, his instruments reioyce, Gods spirit sad, his children heauie? |
| A13535 | should I occasion profane ones through my sides to wound all my profession? |
| A13535 | should I open a Papists mouth, or harden him against the truth? |
| A13535 | so should I be a swearer? |
| A13535 | sometimes many hundreds, sometimes many thousands wonne at one sermon; and how violently was the kingdome taken? |
| A13535 | that presumest to prescribe laws to thy Maker; that he should deale with one man thus, or with another otherwise? |
| A13535 | that they are to serue vnder the Prince of peace, euen the head of our profession? |
| A13535 | the godly perish, and eaten vp of the wicked as bread? |
| A13535 | the wicked flourish? |
| A13535 | their Nobles not better apparelled, then some of our groomes; that our Nabals feasts, though but farmers, are like the feasts of a King? |
| A13535 | thinke then with thy selfe; Is Christ mine, or I his? |
| A13535 | this is such an argument as whereby Christ himselfe should haue beene denyed; for did any of the rulers beleeue in him? |
| A13535 | this word testifieth of him: would he beget faith in them? |
| A13535 | thou must receiue it of his fulnesse: wantest thou life? |
| A13535 | to keepe shut that mouth that would faine open it selfe against him? |
| A13535 | to make him be cloathed with his own shame, who sought to bring shame vpon him and his profession? |
| A13535 | to possesse their vessels in holinesse, and honour? |
| A13535 | to whome are stroakes, and wounds without cause? |
| A13535 | v. 6. doth he not affirme that euerie man hath his proper gift, according to which he is to walke? |
| A13535 | was Christ hated when he was on the crosse or in the graue? |
| A13535 | was I without God, without Christ, held vnder chaines of darkenesse? |
| A13535 | was it not in times of most heauie persecutions; which in all that chapter he had a speciall eye vnto? |
| A13535 | was it not to the whole Church of Corinth? |
| A13535 | was sentence passed against me not to die on a gibbet, but to be held vnder euerlasting death with the damned? |
| A13535 | were not such a fellowship as this likest vnto the purest Primitiue Church in the dayes of the Apostles themselues? |
| A13535 | were not we beasts in vnderstanding, sensualitie, and course of our naturall liues, before he called and washed vs? |
| A13535 | were our Sauiour Christ and his Apostles scismatikes in departing from the doctrines of the Pharisies and Saduces? |
| A13535 | what a confusion bringeth it in the Cōmonwealth, to haue bastard broods inheriting? |
| A13535 | what a fearefull condemnation hangeth ouer the heads of men so ignorant, so vnthankfull against the light? |
