38963 | And what can a real lover of the rights of man say in vindication thereof? |
38963 | Another query was:"Shall members in union with us be at liberty in any case to purchase slaves?" |
38963 | Can he learn to think? |
38963 | Can he understand the significant things of life as expounded by mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers? |
38963 | How could the motives of the white Baptists be lofty, moreover, if they did not believe that Negroes should rise in the church and school? |
38963 | How were these bishops then to stand? |
38963 | How will the sons of oppression answer for their conduct when the great proprietor of all shall call them to account?" |
38963 | In the midst of their mocking, they asked him if he believed? |
38963 | The next question was:"Shall we join Bishop Allen?" |
38963 | These emancipators began by inquiring:"Can any person whose practice is friendly to perpetual slavery be admitted a member of this meeting?" |
38963 | They inquired, moreover:"Is there any case in which persons holding slaves may be admitted to membership into the church of Christ?" |
38963 | This, to be sure, had the desired effect, for these inquirers concluded:"If such be the servant, what must the master be?" |
38963 | To make the challenge more concrete, can a Negro master the grammar, language, and literature of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew? |
38963 | Two important questions were propounded at this meeting, one being:"Shall we return to the white people?" |
38963 | Was there such a thing as a senior bishop or were they on equality? |
38963 | What then was this peculiar feature of Baptist policy which explains the unusual growth? |
38963 | Would these dreams come true? |
8908 | But why? |
8908 | Could"any one"passing over to Ireland be expected to deliver letters in Cork or Londonderry? |
8908 | Does Dr. Lightfoot bring forward any evidence to contradict this piece of collegiate history? |
8908 | How often may we find John put for James, or Robert for Andrew? |
8908 | If Ignatius and the Philippians wished their letters to be carried to_ Antioch_, why did they not say so? |
8908 | If Ignatius meant to have his letters taken to_ Antioch_, why vaguely say that they were to be carried to Syria? |
8908 | Is it likely that a minister of so little experience would have been invited to undertake such a service? |
8908 | On what grounds can he maintain that Timothy exercised what he calls a"moveable episcopate"in Ephesus? |
8908 | Should not the words of an apostolic Father put an end to all farther questionings? |
8908 | What way shall we find to extricate ourselves out of this labyrinth?" |
8908 | Why does the writer describe himself as the_ Bishop of Syria_, and why does he never once mention_ Antioch_ from beginning to end? |
8908 | Why not? |
8908 | Would not his own common sense have directed him what to do? |
8908 | [ 24:1] Why not distinctly name the place of their destination? |
8908 | [ 74:1] Who after all this could doubt the claims of Episcopacy? |
38544 | At one time a peasant came out of his house and called to us in a rough tone of voice,''Boys, where are you?'' |
38544 | Can nothing move you, my daughter? |
38544 | Dr. Jonas called into his ear,"Reverend father, are you firmly determined to die upon Christ and the doctrine you have preached?" |
38544 | Evidently vexed at this reply, Urban asked,"Do you think that the elector will go to war on your account?" |
38544 | For he hoped by this visit to the holy(?) |
38544 | For if we could gain peace of conscience by our own works and sufferings, why did He die? |
38544 | His wife looked at him and asked,"Are you going to give everything away?" |
38544 | How do they read?" |
38544 | I asked the man whose garden it is,''What little children are these?'' |
38544 | In such periods of depression he would often exclaim,"Oh, when wilt thou become really pious and atone for thy sins, and obtain the grace of God?" |
38544 | O God, if Luther is dead, who henceforth will purely preach to us the holy Gospel?" |
38544 | Polycarp exclaimed:"For eighty- six years I have served Him, and He has done me no ill; how can I now denounce my King and my Savior?" |
38544 | The duke, though also very bitter against Luther, asked,"What kind of hymns are they? |
38544 | Urban:"What would you do if you had the Pope and the cardinals in your power?" |
38544 | Urban:"Where do you intend to stay then?" |
38544 | What do you fear? |
38544 | Who could break these fetters? |
38544 | Who is to be gracious to us if not God?" |
38544 | Why do you hesitate?" |
38544 | Why, have you not heard that parents should be obeyed, and that nothing should be undertaken without their knowledge and advice?" |
16797 | Fly? |
16797 | Then two of his friends put to him the solemn question:''Reverend Father, do you die in Christ and in the doctrine you have constantly preached?'' 16797 [ 28] And, with all, where is the gain or wisdom of blowing smoke upon a diamond? |
16797 | --"And do I not believe that?" |
16797 | Beginning of Colonization in America, 137.--Movements in Sweden, 138.--Swedish Proposals, 143.--Was Penn Aware of these Plans? |
16797 | But the cardinals said, How can the Church reform itself without a head? |
16797 | But what are oaths and fore- pledges to candidates greedy for office? |
16797 | But what, otherwise, would have become of the Reformation? |
16797 | Charles hurried to convene his council, saying,"Luther is come; what shall we do with him?" |
16797 | Henceforth the question was, Which of them should sway the nations in the time to come? |
16797 | His father hated monkery, and he shared the feeling; but, if it would save him, why hesitate? |
16797 | If he had the truth of God, as he verily believed, what were the pope and all devils against Jehovah? |
16797 | If the strong arm of the emperor should be given to sustain the pope, who would be able to stand? |
16797 | Is he not sworn to defend God''s holy Word and Gospel? |
16797 | It is easy to tell a crab to fly, but will he do it? |
16797 | Luther was told that it was useless to think that the civil powers would go to war for his protection; and where would he then be? |
16797 | Shall those holy ashes be left to be trodden in the mire?" |
16797 | The whole history is this: Are these your books? |
16797 | WAS PENN AWARE OF THESE PLANS? |
16797 | Was he right? |
16797 | What was a father''s displeasure or the loss of all the favors of the world to his safety against a hopeless perdition? |
16797 | What will be his eternal fate and that of his people should he now hold his peace? |
16797 | What would a Chesterfield or an Addison have been in such a contest? |
16797 | Whither was the world drifting? |
16797 | _ Yes._--Will you retract them? |
16797 | or was he wrong? |
19568 | Are these not clearly cases of human imagination set at work by a Jewish superstition? |
19568 | But if this life is all, how can we continue to hold our faith in divine justice? |
19568 | But would there be much satisfaction in existence when individuality and personal consciousness had been lost? |
19568 | For these unhappy ones would it be well, as Mr. Chamberlain holds it was for him, that there should be no hereafter? |
19568 | Had the New Testament been divinely inspired, would not its authority have been clearly attested? |
19568 | Has Deity directly revealed itself to man? |
19568 | If there was a miraculous revelation on which salvation depended, why was it not universal? |
19568 | Is belief in a future life generally holding its ground? |
19568 | Is it likely that such confusion would be found in a Divine revelation? |
19568 | Is it possible that they should have had a place in a divine narrative of the life of the Saviour of the world? |
19568 | Is their being brought into existence only to suffer compatible with our faith in supreme benevolence? |
19568 | What did Jesus think of himself and his mission, and of his relation to Deity? |
19568 | What is now the position of the clergy? |
19568 | What is the fact? |
19568 | What would the world be without religion? |
19568 | Why has it all this time been withheld from nations even more in need of it than those to whom it was given? |
19568 | Would even the social fabric remain unshaken? |
19568 | Would not the authorship of its books have been made known? |
19568 | Would not the narratives have been as well arranged and clear as, by the admission of orthodoxy, they are the reverse? |
19568 | Would the names of the authors of the Gospels, their warrants and the sources of their information, have been withheld? |
19568 | Would the slightest error or self- contradiction have been allowed to appear in it? |
34706 | Have you? |
34706 | Are not the common stumbling- blocks in the way of prayer incidental rather than essential? |
34706 | Are we not implicitly charging them with neglect of duty and with irreverence? |
34706 | But is it not a piece of conceit to imagine that we are being observed, widely at any rate, as well as something akin to an insult to those about us? |
34706 | But"things and actions are what they are,"so why should we desire to deceive ourselves? |
34706 | Could anything be more selfish or more anomalous? |
34706 | FOOTNOTES:[ 38]_ See Appendix._[ 39]_ See Prof. William James in, Is Life Worth Living? |
34706 | For what is the import of this invitation but this? |
34706 | His first absolutions were full and generous, but how can these later ones be so? |
34706 | How can the man, in whom the fires of passion are dead, express before God his sorrow for sins against purity in days that are gone? |
34706 | If, they argue, God dwells in the world, why does He not sweep away these heavy shadows, this over- much grief? |
34706 | John i: 38._ THE QUEST_ O Master of my soul, where dwellest Thou? |
34706 | The common objection,"What good can it do? |
34706 | What less or more? |
34706 | What were all Thy boundless store Without Thyself? |
34706 | When this unhappy experience occurs what are we to do to have the breach between ourselves and God filled up and fellowship with Him re- established? |
34706 | Who can bear this witness so well as the layman in the home and in the market? |
34706 | Who can turn a deaf ear to his appeal, excepting those who deny a man''s right to realize himself? |
34706 | Why, then, this fine dressing up of the commonplace? |
34706 | Will not God bless men just as much without our prayers as with them?" |
19567 | Apart from anything more distinctly spiritual, where do we get the faculty of idealization? |
19567 | But apart from the Bible, have we any revelation of the nature, the will, the unity, the existence of deity? |
19567 | But if individual interest or passion can break this law with impunity, as often they can, what is there to withhold them from doing it? |
19567 | But is there not also a conscious effort of self- improvement not dependent on these? |
19567 | But is there not an aspiration to character which points to something more spiritual and higher than conformity to the utilitarian code? |
19567 | But what can have been the aim of creation? |
19567 | Can anything like a clear line be drawn between good and evil? |
19567 | Can they be the offspring of material evolution? |
19567 | Do not men who have totally renounced the dogma still cultivate a character in its gentleness and benevolence essentially Christian? |
19567 | Has any animal given, like man, the slightest sign of self- improvement or conscious tendency to progress? |
19567 | IS THERE TO BE A REVOLUTION IN ETHICS? |
19567 | If for them there is no compensation, can we believe that benevolence and justice rule the world? |
19567 | If the latter, does it not appear that there is something in us not material and pointing to a higher life? |
19567 | If the world is not ruled by benevolence and justice, what is our ground of hope? |
19567 | If there is a God, are not all truths, scientific, historic, or critical, as much as anything written in the Bible, the word of God? |
19567 | In what respect, so far as our conceptions extend, has Christian ethic failed? |
19567 | Is it possible to explain moral repentance or morality at all without assuming the freedom of the will? |
19567 | Is it traceable to physical sense? |
19567 | Is there to be a Revolution in Ethics? |
19567 | Was he wrong in indulging it, so long as he had the power, which he might have had, with common prudence, to the end of his life? |
19567 | What can have led to the production of humanity, with all the evil and suffering which Omniscience must have foreseen? |
19567 | What is conscience? |
19567 | What is the value of a clean breast? |
19567 | What is to be said in this connection of man''s aesthetic nature, of his sense of beauty and melody? |
19567 | What is to be said of deaths in infancy, when there has been no time for character to be formed? |
19567 | What was there which without such a process mere fiat, so far as we can see, could not produce? |
19567 | When we repent morally are we looking only to the immediate consequences of the act, or are we also looking to the injury done to our moral nature? |
19567 | Would this involve the dissolution of the Churches? |
20160 | _ Q._ How do you prove that there is but one true God? 20160 All were put into the utmost consternation-- men, women, and children crying,''What shall we do?'' 20160 Almost of course the good people began with the question, What good men shall we keep out? 20160 And who can look at our past history and feel proud of our present status? |
20160 | But when they handed Dr. Dwight a list of subjects for class disputation, to their surprise, he selected this:''Is the Bible the word of God?'' |
20160 | Could this be due to the Quaker faith in the sufficiency of"the Light that lighteneth every man that cometh into the world"? |
20160 | Did not these things betoken a superficial piety, springing up like seed in the thin soil of rocky places? |
20160 | How could the two parties walk together when one prayed_ Vater unser_, and the other_ unser Vater_? |
20160 | It is a prevailing trait of this theology, born of the great revival, that it has constantly held before itself not only the question, What is truth? |
20160 | Nay, verily, said Murray( in this following one of his colleagues, James Relly); what saith the Scripture? |
20160 | Shall we be unworthy of the trust? |
20160 | Should this consent be given? |
20160 | The foundations were destroyed, and what should the righteous do? |
20160 | The governor was incompetent and corrupt, and the minister was faithful and plain- spoken; what could result but conflict? |
20160 | This, with Doddridge''s hymn,"My God, and is thy table spread?" |
20160 | Were all the population of Salem to be reckoned as of the church of Salem? |
20160 | What form will the structure take? |
20160 | Would it tend to mitigate the intensity of sectarian competition, or would it tend rather to aggravate it? |
20160 | and if not, who should"discern between the righteous and the wicked"? |
20160 | but also the question, How shall it be preached? |
272 | 3:"Why not do evil so that there might be more good?" |
272 | Are they not insane, foolish and ridiculous? |
272 | As this fact is so obvious, that faith alone gives, brings, and takes a hold of this life and righteousness-- why should we not say so? |
272 | But a German would say"Ut quid, etc.."as"Why this waste?" |
272 | But what kind of German is this? |
272 | Dear, what are we to say? |
272 | How? |
272 | If it is not offensive to preach"without works","not by works","no works", why is it offensive to preach"by faith alone"? |
272 | Is that speaking with a German tongue? |
272 | Just tell me, is Christ''s death and resurrection our work, what we do, or not? |
272 | Now if that is good German why do they not come out and make us a fine, new German testament and let Luther''s testament be? |
272 | Should one reject St. Paul''s word because of such''offense''or refrain from speaking freely about faith? |
272 | Since when does a German speak like that-- being"full of grace"? |
272 | So, as the traitor Judas says in Matthew 26:"Ut quid perditio haec?" |
272 | Subsequently, for these literalist asses I would have to translate it:"Why has this loss of salve occurred?" |
272 | The question here is:"What is or is not the Word of God? |
272 | They are dialecticians? |
272 | They are doctors? |
272 | They are lecturers? |
272 | They are philosophers? |
272 | They are scholars? |
272 | They can each do a translation that suits them-- what do I care? |
272 | They write books? |
272 | Well up to this point, this has simply been translated from the simple Latin, but tell me is that good German? |
272 | What German could understand something like that? |
272 | What German says"loss of salve occurred"? |
272 | What better vengeance?! |
272 | What is the work by which we take hold of Christ''s death and resurrection? |
272 | What is this"abundance of the heart?" |
272 | Why should I talk about translating so much? |
272 | Yet why should I be concerned about their ranting and raving? |
272 | and in Mark 14:"Ut quid perditio iste unguenti facta est?" |
272 | or"Why this extravagance?" |
7436 | ( b) What was the proper mode of ecclesiastical redress if these rights were ignored? |

7436 | And who may be freemen? |
7436 | Are we sharers in redemption, and do we grudge to support religion? |
7436 | Can you any better submit to hire a minister to preach up a doctrine which you in your heart believe contrary to the institution of Christ? |
7436 | Did the inheritance of faith, of which baptism was the sign and seal, stop with the children, or with the grandchildren, or where? |
7436 | He concluded his arraignment with:-- But would a man be tried, judged and excommunicated by such a standard as this? |
7436 | He further stated that when such a situation was in some measure relieved he would be only too glad to make the question"Is he capable? |
7436 | How firm a grip upon her had that incubus of her own raising, the pernicious union of Church and State? |
7436 | How had not Connecticut fallen? |
7436 | How passed her ancient glory, how ignored her charter''s rights? |
7436 | Is he faithful to the Constitution?" |
7436 | Is he honest? |
7436 | Is it not shame? |
7436 | Is this a Constitution? |
7436 | Is this an instrument of government for freemen? |
7436 | Must they, in order to send their sons to college, deprive them for four years of a"Gospel ministry"and lay them open to consequent grave perils? |
7436 | What right, the Federals asked, had they to attack a constitution they had sworn to uphold? |
7436 | [ b]"Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by law?" |
7436 | _ i.e._, in plain terms, how does it tend to lying hypocrisy and lying? |
16479 | Hast thou gone to the gentle youth on the north side of the lawn? |
16479 | Were it not better rather to contract with the King of Heaven and earth? |

37032 | { 8} CHAPTER I CAN WE STILL BELIEVE? |
9944 | Do not two sparrows sell for a half- penny? |
9944 | That''s pretty near free- thinking, is n''t it? |
9944 | What''s it going to be now? |
9944 | And can we expect the Father of us all to act in other than common- sense ways? |
9944 | And what is money after all? |
9944 | And why be anxious about clothing? |
9944 | Are they doing it independently of God? |
9944 | Are they working in a medium into which God can not enter? |
9944 | But are not my present cravings those which count for me? |
9944 | But what can they do? |
9944 | Dare I say it? |
9944 | Do not even begin to be anxious, therefore, saying,''What shall we eat?'' |
9944 | Do you happen to know it?" |
9944 | How can I help seeing so much beauty and sweetness as the manifestation of God? |
9944 | How can I talk of not seeing God when I see_ this_? |
9944 | How could He show Himself to me more smilingly? |
9944 | How could anyone delight in the Caucasian God, as the majority of Caucasians conceive of Him? |
9944 | How do you picture Him? |
9944 | I have forgotten how we chanced on the subject, but I remember that she asked me these questions:"When you think of God_ how_ do you think of Him? |
9944 | If, therefore, we mentally poison the well of Universal Good- intent at its very source what have we to depend on? |
9944 | Is it any wonder that nothing ever comes of these efforts? |
9944 | Is it argued for a single minute that"goods"are not God''s good things, and that money is not their token? |
9944 | Is not the life more precious than its food, and the body than its clothing? |
9944 | Is not this common sense? |
9944 | It is not in heaven that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it down unto us that we may hear it and do it? |
9944 | Neither is it beyond the sea that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it unto us that we may hear it and do it? |
9944 | Oseraije le dire? |
9944 | What does He seem like?" |
9944 | What is there then that we can trust to? |
9944 | Which of you by being over- anxious can add a single foot to his height? |
9944 | Who am I that I should be overlooked by it, or miss being made the expression of its infinite energies?" |
9944 | Why is it, we ask, that He snatches away those who are needed, leaving those who might be spared? |
9944 | Would you mind telling me how it helped you?" |
9944 | XII What place is there then for intersectarian or ecclesiastical arrogance? |
9944 | and do they not make up precisely that character which renders me unique? |
9944 | or''What shall we drink?'' |
9944 | or''What shall we wear?'' |
27707 | A bishop perhaps? |
27707 | And these? |
27707 | Are you a Christian? |
27707 | Did any of you know Arsenius? |
27707 | Did you pour the water as you said the words? |
27707 | Do you not know that I have power to drive you into exile, even to take your life? |
27707 | Do you think it is a small thing to be of our communion? |
27707 | Have you seen Athanasius? 27707 How could I, a poor man and a Bishop, do such a thing?" |
27707 | Is it true that you believe what the Church teaches? |
27707 | Were these apostates,cried Meletius, Bishop of Lykopolis,"to be made equal to those who had borne the burden and the heat of the day?" |
27707 | What did you do? |
27707 | What do you wish? |
27707 | What is a Christian? |
27707 | What is your name? |
27707 | What were you doing down there on the shore? |
27707 | What words? |
27707 | What would you like to be? |
27707 | What would you say if I told you that you had really baptized them? |
27707 | Where is Athanasius? |
27707 | Who are these good men? |
27707 | Who are you, and what do you want? |
27707 | Who has deceived you, O senseless,he asks,"to call the Creator a creature?" |
27707 | Who is more worthy of such a ministry,he cried,"than the man who stands before us?" |
27707 | Why will you not accept the Emperor''s religion? |
27707 | Would you not like to have the Emperor in your congregation? |
27707 | As for the sufferings of the Church, was it not so from the beginning, and will it not be so until the end? |
27707 | Did not the Master Himself say,''They have persecuted Me, they will persecute you also''? |
27707 | Did not the''perils from false brethren''begin even in the lifetime of those who had been the companions of Christ? |
27707 | I cried,''and rent Thy garments?'' |
27707 | In the meantime, where was Athanasius? |
27707 | Is he far off?" |
27707 | It was six years since they had seen him, and what had they not suffered during his absence? |
27707 | Since Christ was the creation of God the Father, how could He Himself be God?" |
27707 | Was it possible, he asked, that so many and such various charges could be brought up against a man if he were innocent? |
27707 | Were they to return to their sees and confess themselves beaten? |
27707 | What was delaying his guests? |
27707 | Which is the greater, the place or the Faith? |
27707 | asked Alexander with a smile;"you think it is an easy and a glorious life?" |
1911 | And then what is that Church but a multitude without Christ? |
1911 | And, in taking to Himself the body of His wife, how can He but take to Himself all that is hers? |
1911 | Are we then to take our ease and do no works, content with faith?" |
1911 | But you will ask, What is this word, and by what means is it to be used, since there are so many words of God? |
1911 | For what did he bring about by his flattery, except evils which no king could have brought about? |
1911 | For, in giving her His own body and Himself, how can He but give her all that is His? |
1911 | Here you will ask,"If all who are in the Church are priests, by what character are those whom we now call priests to be distinguished from the laity?" |
1911 | If you wish to use your liberty, do it secretly, as Paul says,"Hast thou faith? |
1911 | In doing this, is not a man denying God and setting himself up as an idol in his own heart? |
1911 | Is it not true that there is nothing under the vast heavens more corrupt, more pestilential, more hateful, than the Court of Rome? |
1911 | Is not such a soul, in this its faith, most obedient to God in all things? |
1911 | It learns, too, with the Apostle, to scoff at death and sin, and to say,"O death, where is thy sting? |
1911 | Now if a pontiff rules while Christ is absent and does not dwell in his heart, what else is he but a vicar of Christ? |
1911 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
1911 | On the other hand, what greater rebellion, impiety, or insult to God can there be, than not to believe His promises? |
1911 | Solomon says,"Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?" |
1911 | What are these among so many? |
1911 | What can be more bitter than the words of the prophets? |
1911 | What commandment does there remain which has not been amply fulfilled by such an obedience? |
1911 | What else is this, than either to make God a liar, or to doubt His truth-- that is, to attribute truth to ourselves, but to God falsehood and levity? |
1911 | What fulfilment can be more full than universal obedience? |
1911 | What higher credit can we attribute to any one than truth and righteousness, and absolute goodness? |
1911 | What indeed is such a vicar but antichrist and an idol? |
1911 | What more was it my duty to do? |
1911 | What opposition can you alone make to these monstrous evils? |
1911 | What then can works, done in such a state of impiety, profit us, were they even angelic or apostolic works? |
1911 | What would be the use of salt if it were not pungent, or of the edge of the sword if it did not slay? |
1911 | Who can comprehend the riches of the glory of this grace? |
1911 | Who can injure such a heart, or make it afraid? |
1911 | Who then can comprehend the riches and glory of the Christian life? |
1911 | Who then can value highly enough these royal nuptials? |
1911 | Whose heart would not rejoice in its inmost core at hearing these things? |
15262 | An non poteritis vos infernalia claustra adire, nisi nos comites habeatis? 15262 How is it, then,"asked the judge,"that he remains a good Moslem, while you have apostatized?" |
15262 | If,he says,"Christ is an adopted Son of God, and Christ is also God, then is God the adopted Son of God? |
15262 | What are thirty barbarians perched upon a rock? 15262 Whither,"they triumphantly asked,[2]"has that bravery of your martyrs vanished? |
15262 | Why,said they,"if your God is the true God, does He not strike terror into the executioners of his saints by some great prodigy? |
15262 | 156- 163), refers with disapproval to those(? |
15262 | 19,"Why callest thou Me good? |
15262 | 6--"Is not this the fast that I have chosen? |
15262 | :--"And when God shall say unto Jesus at the last day: O Jesus, son of Mary, hast thou said unto men, Take me and my mother for two Gods, beside God? |
15262 | But when the monk asks leave to depart Abdurrahman says:--"After waiting so long to see one another, shall we part so soon?" |
15262 | For connection of Adoptionism with this, see letter of Adrian to bishops of Spain( 785?). |
15262 | Is it not clear that it was not the Arabs who began persecuting, but we who began preaching? |
15262 | Numquid sine nobis aeterna vos cruciamina non adurent?" |
15262 | Quis Evangelico, quis Prophetico, quis Apostolico ustus tenetur amore? |
15262 | This is apparent from Tarik''s address to his soldiers in the heat of battle:"Moslems, conquerors of Africa, whither would you fly? |
15262 | To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free?" |
15262 | What has become of the rash frenzy with which they courted death?" |
15262 | When the latter was urged to give the word, and have the knot of Christians put to the sword, he said:"Is it not written? |
15262 | Will you let yourselves be trampled on by the Arabs, who look upon you as their slaves? |
15262 | [ 10]? |
15262 | [ 12]? |
15262 | [ 1] However, his ecclesiastical superior[2](? |
15262 | [ 3] Miss Yonge, p. 87, says the Arabs called him Sham Yakub, but what authority has this statement? |
15262 | [ 4][ 1] Sayones(?) |
15262 | [ 5] Meanwhile what was the condition of those Christians who preferred to live in their own homes, but under the Moslem yoke? |
15262 | and why do not the martyrs themselves flash forth into miracles while the crowd is round them? |
15262 | if, on the other hand, they did perform these miracles, why not adduce them in evidence against the detractors? |
42865 | How,say they,"could you become a prætor or consul? |
42865 | And will she have much to do in order to still remain acceptable to those who love her,--this old mother, who will not die so soon? |
42865 | And, after all, Commodus was only seventeen years old: who could be sure that he would not reform? |
42865 | Are there, then, two Christs?" |
42865 | But I ask, What satisfaction could the institutions which Rome dared to believe eternal present to the religious wants which were arising? |
42865 | But did he not come there after Paul? |
42865 | But is it our fault that the wants of humanity are diverse, its aspirations manifold, its aims contradictory? |
42865 | But wilt thou say,''I have not played the five acts; I have played but three?'' |
42865 | Did Peter also come to Rome? |
42865 | Did the trophies which the Christians venerated about the year 200 designate the spots upon which these apostles suffered? |
42865 | Does there anywhere exist, in a world of honest people in small villages, an ideal of family life more charming than that which Plutarch has left us? |
42865 | For, in short, why has his credulity been thus abused? |
42865 | How could gods without compassion, and born of joy and the primitive imagination, be expected to console for such evils? |
42865 | How could he be so moral without the beliefs that are now regarded as the foundations of morality? |
42865 | How could that reasoning be more strongly refuted than by maintaining that Peter never placed his foot in Rome? |
42865 | Is all this a pure loss? |
42865 | Is it inspiration?" |
42865 | Is it the clergy? |
42865 | Is it the people? |
42865 | Is it, then, he who is not deceived who is the wise man? |
42865 | Is this unceasing effort to attain the unattainable as vain as the course of the child who pursues the ever flying object of his desire? |
42865 | Let us suppose, in short, a direct, positive proof, evident to all, of future sufferings and rewards: where will be the merit of doing good? |
42865 | Now, was a people ever more wanting in all this than the first Christians? |
42865 | Now, what can be said of a church founded by both Peter and Paul? |
42865 | This involves the great problem,"Who exists in the church? |
42865 | To what end, since it is permitted to thee to retire within thy soul each hour? |
42865 | Was there ever, I ask you, a religion less capable of becoming the religion of the human race than that? |
42865 | What could be more simple? |
42865 | What did these conservatives, these Sadducees, really desire? |
42865 | What does this miracle accomplish other than to strike at the pretended derogations to the laws of physical nature? |
42865 | What interest, think you an African, a Gaul, a Syrian, took in a worship which concerned only a small number of high and often tyrannical families? |
42865 | What more is necessary? |
42865 | What need have we of these brutal proofs which trammel our liberty? |
42865 | What sweet and pure sentiment, what feeling of melancholy tenderness, has not found expression by the pen of Virgil or of Tibullus? |
42865 | Wherefore is this premium given to the frivolous or wicked man? |
42865 | Who does not see, that, in such a system, there is neither morality nor religion? |
42865 | Why should he have been endowed with deceitful instincts, of which he has been the honest dupe? |
42865 | how so profoundly religious, without having professed one of the dogmas of what is called natural religion? |
42865 | is it too much resignation, ladies and gentlemen? |
42865 | thou hast been a citizen in the great city: what matters it to thee to have remained three or five years? |
45701 | Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? 45701 Who of you, if he wishes to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the costs to see whether he has money to complete it? |
45701 | And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him? |
45701 | Are not ye of much more value than they?" |
45701 | Are the proposals of Secretary Hughes in this spirit? |
45701 | Can the New Testament help on these? |
45701 | Christ spoke no more incisive word than this:"Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?" |
45701 | Did he have a social plan, and was it adapted to the needs of the twentieth as well as to those of the first Christian century? |
45701 | How can there be any joy in the heart when there is this suspicion of one''s fellow? |
45701 | Is it any wonder that church life is stagnant? |
45701 | Is it any wonder that they brooded over it until even the translations themselves seemed to be the very breath of the Almighty? |
45701 | Is it not possible that his idea of the fraternal community is the only satisfactory solution of our international problems? |
45701 | Is not this true? |
45701 | Is the situation really"well"? |
45701 | Is, then, the seat of authority for religion in the claims of Holy Scripture? |
45701 | No doubt the human heart is swayed by sympathy and benevolence; but are these the qualities of the natural man? |
45701 | OUR GOVERNMENT IN THE CONFERENCE What is the position that our government should take in the conference? |
45701 | Or should he realize his plan by compromise? |
45701 | Shall we say that these words were spoken in ignorance or jest or mockery? |
45701 | That is a pretty faith; but is it true? |
45701 | The baptism of John, whence was it? |
45701 | Then again:"What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" |
45701 | What Cause was it which made of these plain disciples literary and religious figures of incomparable power and dignity? |
45701 | What equal counterpoise will you set against that instinct of_ pleonexia_ which reaches out for ever more and more? |
45701 | What limitations did Jesus place upon the principle? |
45701 | What shall be said of these contrasted views? |
45701 | Who of mortals can have taught the writer of the Fourth Gospel the interpretation that he has to hand on to us? |
45701 | Why should it be otherwise if such conceptions virtually rule? |
45701 | Will you, Capernaum, be exalted to the sky? |
45701 | from heaven or from men? |
39734 | Ah, what are you doing? |
39734 | But what,said she,"am I to believe amidst so many different opinions of the present day?" |
39734 | And concluded thus:"Why do we not perceive that all they are attempting is mere deception and fraud? |
39734 | Being restored by rubbing, he said,"Ah, what are you doing?" |
39734 | But how can we hope to convert them to the truth?" |
39734 | But what happened? |
39734 | But what is to be done if they remain obstinate? |
39734 | But when his son apologized, he said, in a milder tone,"To whom shall I lecture, if there is no one present?" |
39734 | But wherefore also the mass? |
39734 | Ca n''t you go home?" |
39734 | Do you pray for me, that this my involuntary concealment may redound to the greater glory of God?" |
39734 | Dr. Luther inquired who these mighty heroes were? |
39734 | He asked him whether he heard him? |
39734 | He had again thought of the word of Paul,"If God be for us, who can be against us?" |
39734 | He says in it:"And what are you doing, my Philip? |
39734 | He then remarked:"What is the use of our being here?" |
39734 | Hence arose the question: If we are only acceptable by Grace, wherefore is the new life required? |
39734 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
39734 | In his sleep his spirit was impressed with the words of the Apostle Paul,"If God be for us, who can be against us?" |
39734 | Is it so small a matter to serve the Lord Jesus faithfully, and to have proved yourselves faithful members of Christ? |
39734 | Maior asked him:"Venerable Father, what is the meaning of these words?" |
39734 | On a certain occasion the teacher had proposed a very difficult question, and asked,"Where will I find a Grecian?" |
39734 | So Calvin regarded the matter; but what did Melanchthon say to all this? |
39734 | Then, what an ornament is destroyed in the dispersion of our school? |
39734 | What good thing could be expected of these men? |
39734 | What greater honor do you desire? |
39734 | What induced you to attack an old friend, who loved you sincerely, with such weapons? |
39734 | What more can the devil do than to kill us?" |
39734 | What more shall I say? |
39734 | What other answer can I give?" |
39734 | When he was taken down, he said:"This is called a travelling- bed; suppose I should be obliged to travel in it?" |
39734 | Whether rulers are to defend themselves? |
39734 | Whither did he wish to go? |
39734 | Who knows what it may please God to do, whose thoughts are at all times higher and better than our own? |
39734 | Why did you not publish yourself, for which I so often entreated, prayed, and commanded you? |
39734 | Why do they wish to desolate the Churches on account of the needless and false masses for souls, invocations of the saints,& c.?" |
39734 | Why do you thus unceasingly trouble yourself? |
39734 | Why was he so enraged against us? |
39734 | he said,"why do you disturb my sweet repose? |
39734 | viii.,"If God be for us, who can be against us?" |
20206 | A reed( from the wilderness) shaken with the wind? |
20206 | And what means the so- much abused word Catholic if not inclusiveness? |
20206 | Another problem was: what were more salvatory, faith or works? |
20206 | But what led to the Churches''surrender? |
20206 | But which of the Churches ought to give this example for the salvation of Europe and of the world? |
20206 | But who am I to teach you? |
20206 | CHAPTER IV THE VICTORY OF THE CHURCH WHAT IS THE CHURCH? |
20206 | Christ, God''s Holy Wisdom, includes all of us, why should we exclude each other? |
20206 | Did she agree with them? |
20206 | Did you ever think that St Paul is the greatest prophet of a new and desirable statesmanship? |
20206 | Do you think that the Arabs, who gave Europe knowledge, are expecting from Europe knowledge? |
20206 | ECCLESIA TRIUMPHANS How can the church get her past strength again and triumph over the evil inside and outside her walls? |
20206 | Have we still this exclusive spirit which moved the world effecting the greatest revolution in History? |
20206 | He would ask: What happened with the spirit he preached? |
20206 | How can a wounded man be healed unless his wounds are unveiled? |
20206 | How could an unholy Europe preach the Holy One? |
20206 | How to connect them? |
20206 | How to reach it? |
20206 | Or another: in our moral perfection how much is God''s grace operating and how much our human collaboration? |
20206 | Or another: what part worship plays in our salvation( the problem known in theology as opus operatum)? |
20206 | Or did she oppose and protest as she did against Rome and the Crescent? |
20206 | Or do you think that Chino- Japanese civilisation has anything worth mentioning to borrow from Europe but Christian ideals? |
20206 | The Struggle for a True Doctrine.--The central problem for the living Church has always been: Who was Jesus? |
20206 | To start what? |
20206 | Well, was not His life- drama typical and prophetic for His Church? |
20206 | Well, what would a Buddhistic painter put as a simile of consolation for the man in agony? |
20206 | Were not His last words to the disciples: go to all nations? |
20206 | What did He ever exclude-- save unclean spirits? |
20206 | What does that mean, but that I can not be saved without God and my neighbours? |
20206 | What else if not a Buddha''s sentence or word? |
20206 | What happened with this spirit which excommunicated de facto the Jewish narrow Patriotism and the Roman Imperialism? |
20206 | What is the Church viewed from the point of view of the world war? |
20206 | What is the Church, historically viewed? |
20206 | What is the Church, psychologically viewed? |
20206 | What is the Church, sociologically viewed? |
20206 | What is the consequence if a Christian Church adopts the standpoint of a worldly Government as the true one? |
20206 | What is this great thing? |
20206 | What was the Church''s attitude towards the European imperialistic formulae? |
20206 | Where has fled Europe''s soul? |
20206 | Who of us and of you asks about the integrity of the Christian spirit? |
20206 | Why has the Church stopped being a drama? |
20206 | Why is she hesitating and fearing? |
20206 | Why not just your Anglican Church? |
20206 | You are a Christian? |
20206 | and how to worship Him? |
7970 | ''But,''asked Luther,''how many are there who can read those words on the Emperor''s banner, or who seriously believe in them?'' |
7970 | ''But,''said Vergerius,''would you have him come with arms or without?'' |
7970 | ''Have we no Archbishops and Bishops in Germany, that we must kiss the feet of this one? |
7970 | ''What have we to do with Rome and its Bishop?'' |
7970 | ''What wonder were it, should princes, nobles, and laymen beat them on the head, and hunt them out of the country?'' |
7970 | ''Where then do you mean to take refuge?'' |
7970 | ''Who can comprehend the honour and dignity of a Christian? |
7970 | ''Who knows,''he said,''what God may wish to do?'' |
7970 | ''Would you come to Bologna?'' |
7970 | And did not the very futility of his own endeavours hitherto prove that it was the former fate that hung over him? |
7970 | But we call to mind the words he had spoken in 1532,''Who knows what God will do before ten years are over?'' |
7970 | But what fruit, indeed, could be looked for from his words, uttered evidently with violent inward emotion, when popular passion was so excited? |
7970 | Does He say that to the wind, or does He throw his words before animals?... |
7970 | Flight to France was continually talked of; had he not followed in his appeal a precedent set by the university of Paris? |
7970 | For instance, they might take a grudge against the clergy and cry out, if admonished by them, what can a mere clerk know about it? |
7970 | For their benefit he wished to describe compendiously the''sum of a Christian life''; to deal thoroughly with the question,''What was a Christian? |
7970 | He then asked,''Where is my darling little Hans?'' |
7970 | His father replied in the presence of all the company,''Learned brothers, have you not read in Holy Writ, that a man must honour father and mother?'' |
7970 | How could the Pope possibly tolerate a free Christian Council when he must be quite aware how disadvantageous such a Council would be to himself? |
7970 | How could these words be reconciled with the fact that the secular arm resisted wrong with force, and raised the sword against the evil- doer? |
7970 | How dare a man make a vow to God, which God must first endue him with the power to keep? |
7970 | How far obedience is due to it? |
7970 | How was that consistent with the acts of ecclesiastical penance, such as absolution in particular, which must be obtained from the priest? |
7970 | If I have stood up against the Pope, why should I yield to his creature?'' |
7970 | Is it just and right that Thou shouldst reject the wise, and receive the foolish? |
7970 | May he not also come into this garden, and eat these nice pears and apples, and ride a little horse and play with these children?" |
7970 | May the Lord increase faith in you and all of us; if we have that, what in all the world shall the devil do with us?'' |
7970 | Meanwhile Butzer and Philip had to rest content with this; and was it not an important step forwards? |
7970 | Must not the letter of the Old Testament be the law for other things as well as images? |
7970 | My sins, death, Satan with all his angels-- all rage unceasingly; and what could comfort me if Christ were to forsake me, for Whose sake they hate me? |
7970 | Once, as they were singing before the door of a solitary farmhouse, the farmer came out and called to them roughly,''Where are you, young rascals?'' |
7970 | Shall we tell them that the Pope must be obeyed so that peace and unity may be preserved?'' |
7970 | Was it not better to be slain at home, in obedience to God, than to be taken prisoners and dragged away like cattle to be sold? |
7970 | Was it then really God''s own will, he asked himself, that he should become actually purged from sin and thereby be saved? |
7970 | What more can the devil do than strangle us? |
7970 | What, then, is really essential for the continuance of the Church, and how far does it extend? |
7970 | Who ever made a stronger stand against the peasants, with writing and preaching, than myself?'' |
7970 | Who knows what God will do after the Diet of Augsburg, even before ten years have gone by?'' |
7970 | Would they not willingly sacrifice a little gift in order to obtain everlasting life? |
7970 | and should you not then speak and teach the doctrine or the little Word? |
16424 | _ Ought_ not the Christ to have suffered these things? |
16424 | And may they not be correct? |
16424 | Are our lives merely fertilizer for generations yet unborn? |
16424 | Are we all self- deceived? |
16424 | But can we be content with no personal share in it? |
16424 | But in such a sentence what possible meaning can be put into the expression"His beloved"? |
16424 | But is this emparadised life to be some day thrown aside? |
16424 | Can a mere imagination compass such results? |
16424 | Can life''s highest values be so dealt with? |
16424 | Do we know God in the Son? |
16424 | Do we know God in the Spirit? |
16424 | Do we know Him as our Father? |
16424 | Have we entered into the fulness of their fellowship with God? |
16424 | His keenness of conscience and His acute sympathy brought to His lips the final cry,"My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" |
16424 | How could He, if He be the living God? |
16424 | How far may we trust our experience as validating the inferences we draw from it? |
16424 | How shall we account for His singular personality? |
16424 | How shall we conceive the union in Him of the Divine and the human, which we have discovered? |
16424 | How shall we test the validity of the inference we draw from our experience? |
16424 | If a man loves God with his all, how can there be any remainder of love to devote to someone else? |
16424 | If they are simply ours, who knows what will come of them? |
16424 | In all our advances in religious knowledge are we not liable to undergo Fallings from us, vanishings, Blank misgivings of the creature? |
16424 | Is it likely that, were God a mere fancy, a fancy which we should promptly discard if we knew it as such, our experience could be what it is? |
16424 | Is not every new unveiling of God accompanied by unsettlements and seeming darkenings of the soul, temporary obscurations of the Divine Face? |
16424 | Is there not something analogous to this in the sphere of the spirit? |
16424 | It must never ask itself,"Will the community support me?" |
16424 | Look at the generations of old, and see: Who did ever put his trust in the Lord, and was ashamed? |
16424 | May not our experiences be accounted for in some other way? |
16424 | May we not be in a subjective prison from whose walls words and prayers rebound without outer effect? |
16424 | More than this who cares to know? |
16424 | More than this, for what can Christians wish? |
16424 | Of a book? |
16424 | Or who did abide in His fear, and was forsaken? |
16424 | Or who did call upon Him, and He despised him? |
16424 | Shall we question the correctness of Jesus''personal experience, and call Him mistaken? |
16424 | The second question was asked even during Jesus''lifetime--"Whence hath this Man these things?" |
16424 | The third question, How are we to conceive of the union of Deity and humanity in Him? |
16424 | Three chief questions suggest themselves to us: How shall we picture Jesus''present life? |
16424 | To every thoughtful person the question is forced home,"If a man die, shall he live again?" |
16424 | Was the faith which produced them, the faith which inspired Him, an hallucination? |
16424 | What did Jesus Christ contribute towards answering our question? |
16424 | What should be read? |
16424 | What takes Jesus Christ to that tragic death? |
16424 | Who decides me there? |
16424 | Why did He give up the opportunities of a life that was so incalculably serviceable, and apparently court death? |
16424 | Why, they ask, should we care what took place in Palestine centuries ago? |
16424 | all power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth, go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations"? |
16424 | but"Can I inspire the community?" |
30194 | Furthermore, is the archipelago a fair analogy? 30194 How,"said one of the bystanders,"can you smile when you are dying in agony?" |
30194 | Why is the Son of God, the Christian archangel, called Michael? 30194 [ 6] What is this likely to have meant to those who read it in Greek without any knowledge of a"Pre- existent"Christology? |
30194 | And that the faces of them which have used abstinence shall shine above the stars, whereas our faces shall be blacker than darkness? |
30194 | And that the glory of the Most High is kept to defend them which have led a wary life, whereas we have walked in the most wicked ways of all? |
30194 | And that there are laid up for us dwellings of health and safety, whereas we have lived wickedly? |
30194 | And that there is promised us an everlasting hope, whereas ourselves being most wicked are made vain? |
30194 | And that there should be shewed a paradise whose fruit endureth for ever, wherein is security and medicine, since we shall not enter into it? |
30194 | Are we justified in concluding that the interpretation in ancient Egypt was the same as in imperial Rome? |
30194 | But did he use these words? |
30194 | But did such Platonists actually exist before Plotinus, or possibly Ammonius Saccus? |
30194 | But did they have this characteristic in their original homes, where they were national religions? |
30194 | But how would a Greek have understood this verse? |
30194 | But is it quite so certain that it is a quotation from anything? |
30194 | But need this mean that this eternal life is personal? |
30194 | But was it successful? |
30194 | But what exactly was meant by salvation? |
30194 | But what would have been the implication to Greek{ 82} ears of this usage? |
30194 | But, it may be said, did not Jesus identify himself{ 27} with the Davidic Messiah? |
30194 | Did he mean that the Logos was the_ anima mundi_? |
30194 | Finally, did Hermas think that Christians became angels at their death? |
30194 | For do you really think that we all assemble in the same place? |
30194 | For what profit is it for men now in this present time to live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment? |
30194 | For what profit is it unto us, if there be promised us an immortal time, whereas we have done the works that bring death? |
30194 | If so, which synagogue in Jerusalem did he frequent? |
30194 | If there was really only one meeting, was there not really only one journey, which the editor of Acts, or his sources, converted into two? |
30194 | If those islands could have thought and spoken what would they have said? |
30194 | Is it also gain? |
30194 | Not, that is to say, what is its evidence as to the thought of Paul, but how are certain phrases in it likely to have been interpreted? |
30194 | O thou Adam, what hast thou done? |
30194 | That of the Cilicians as a native of Tarsus? |
30194 | The baptized Christian started with a clean slate, but what would happen to him if he lapsed again into sin? |
30194 | Was this so in Mithraism or in the cult of Isis? |
30194 | What did he think was the meaning of"To- day have I begotten thee"? |
30194 | What does this mean for those who profess and call themselves Christians? |
30194 | What is the bearing of Romans on the Christology of the Church at Rome? |
30194 | What is the relation to each other of{ 125} these two ways of regarding salvation? |
30194 | What part can either Adoptionism or the Logos Christology play in any modern form of thought? |
30194 | What was his attitude towards the Hellenising Christians? |
30194 | What was the course of events immediately after the death of Jesus? |
30194 | What were the main characteristics of the preaching to the Gentiles which thus found a centre in Antioch? |
30194 | What would this phrase mean in Jewish ears? |
30194 | What, then, are the points of difference between Christianity and the other cults which explain the triumph of the Church? |
30194 | Why should we suppose either that the voice from heaven was restricted to quoting scripture, or that it did so with quite remarkable inaccuracy? |
30194 | Would the heathen, who knew not God, be converted or be exterminated? |
30194 | [ 11] On what book did Hermas base his interpretation of Jesus? |
30194 | [ 14] What was the use of a system which offered men immortality, but only on conditions which no one could fulfil? |
30194 | [ 19] This is seen from the following extract from his examination by Rusticus the Prefect:"Rusticus the prefect said,''Where do you assemble?'' |
30194 | [ 1] What ought to be our verdict on this claim of the first Christians? |
30194 | [ 20]_ Roustikòs eparchos eipe; Pou synerchesthe? |
32578 | Who can say positively,writes Sir Leslie Stephen,"that it would not be better for the world at large if his neck were wrung five minutes hence? |
32578 | And what of that radiant optimism that broke out by the shores of the Galilean Lake? |
32578 | And yet, is it not something like this that many of us have had in mind of late when we have been talking of"A world fit for heroes to live in"? |
32578 | Are there not some among us who think that the way to establish their own creed is to destroy the creeds of their neighbours? |
32578 | Are you loyal to the leader in front? |
32578 | As a free soul he prefers not to be_ compelled_ to believe in anything-- for how then could he be free? |
32578 | But can we go further and name it Christianity? |
32578 | But if we know not why we are here how can we hope to answer these other questions? |
32578 | But is that so? |
32578 | But of what nature is the experiment in question? |
32578 | Do you say it is_ hard_? |
32578 | Does it guarantee him a pension for any heroism he displays? |
32578 | Does it meet us on that high level with the companionship of a Spirit akin to ours, not only asking for our loyalty, but giving it in return? |
32578 | Does it provide the hero with an assured income and an easy life? |
32578 | Does the flourishing of my form of Christianity depend on the languishing of yours? |
32578 | For what end have I been sent into the world?" |
32578 | Give the hero a world like that and what will he say? |
32578 | Have you a good head? |
32578 | Have you a stout heart? |
32578 | How has it come to pass that respectable Christian apologists have fallen into such flagrant dishonesties? |
32578 | How then, can he be converted at all unless he is converted there? |
32578 | If you and I, and all such, were to be blotted out forthwith and the All Perfect left in sole possession of the universe, where would be the loss? |
32578 | In the presence of One who has all purposes already fulfilled in himself what purpose can be served by our introduction into the scheme of things? |
32578 | Is comfort the keynote of it? |
32578 | Is it not a fact that for a long time past the Churches of Christendom have been engaged in strife as to who shall be greatest? |
32578 | Is it not reasonable to suppose that, if it exists, it will find some means of making me aware of its presence? |
32578 | Is not the man''s reason the very essence of the man? |
32578 | Is the Soul of the World at one with us in these great endeavours? |
32578 | Might not another soul, sent into the universe instead of mine, have played that part infinitely better than I can ever hope to do? |
32578 | That was written seventy- two years ago, and when was it truer than to- day? |
32578 | The"spirit"of it all? |
32578 | This it does by forcing us to raise the question:"Why am I here? |
32578 | What kind of a world is that? |
32578 | What meaning could these terms have for beings who had learnt that their own existence was purposeless? |
32578 | What other conceivable witness could there be? |
32578 | What, indeed, remains? |
32578 | Where are his followers now? |
32578 | Where is the church, where is the sect, where is the creed- bolstered institution, unhampered by the cares of these great fortresses? |
32578 | Why are we here at all? |
32578 | Why should God need to be glorified, or enjoyed, by you, by me, by anyone? |
32578 | Why should he need anything? |
32578 | Why these rather than those? |
32578 | Why, then, among the host of possibilities, did the lot fall upon_ me_? |
32578 | Why_ me_? |
32578 | Why_ me_? |
32578 | Why_ you_? |
32578 | Why_ you_? |
32578 | Would not the offence of the Cross, submitted at the time to a sanhedrim of"logical"experts, have been condemned as unadulterated folly? |

60705 | How undertake the responsibility? 60705 And how did she do so? 60705 Are these the symptoms of decline? 60705 Between religious creeds and philosophy? 60705 Between the Church and the new- modelled State? 60705 But is it nothing that this liberty is now more firmly established than man has ever known it? 60705 Do I mean then to put on a level and confound all who disallow supernatural order, whether unbelievers or sceptics, atheists or rationalists? 60705 Do we not ascend more than we have been forced to descend? 60705 Do we not rather recognise one of those formidable but beneficial crises brought on by providence when desirous to renew the world? 60705 Does religion fall? 60705 God and duty being abandoned, what remains of great and good if it be not man? 60705 How can this be accomplished? 60705 How did she lose a portion of her empire? 60705 How is it to be escaped? 60705 How should it be so? 60705 Is God''s power over and in us needed? 60705 Is it true then, as is said, that we are in a state of moral decay? 60705 Is our age destined to continue the evil of its precursor, and while losing its virtues add to it its own evils? 60705 Is our own liberty sufficient? 60705 Is the general progress of justice and happiness in the world nothing? 60705 Is the law a real living being, a being with a soul which approaches to or recedes from God, which may be lost or saved? 60705 Is there not therein a fitting reward for the toils and sufferings of our age? 60705 Is there not, after so many mistakes, enough to satisfy the most exacting, to refresh the most exhausted? 60705 Of what do you complain? 60705 Shall we again see the old wars which our fathers have seen? 60705 Shall we see a revival of every fanaticism, lay and clerical, philosophic and religious? 60705 War between Catholicism and Protestantism? 60705 Was it then to arrive at this state of things, that for ages human genius displayed itself so gloriously in our country? 60705 What are the means of action, what the pledges to be given alike to authority and religion? 60705 What are the relations here below and hereafter between God and our souls? 60705 What but the neighbourhood of opposing and half free sects, who have always kept her in play, and forced her to overcome her langour? 60705 What father, if he thought his child were reserved for such a lot, but would feel overwhelmed by compassion and grief? 60705 What has been for Catholicism in France one of the most glorious and pious periods? 60705 What has prevented the Anglican church from falling into that apathy which has appeared more than once ready to overcome her? 60705 What hereafter will be that measure? 60705 What is Christianity? 60705 What is Protestantism? 60705 What is it, nevertheless, that has saved Catholicism from shipwreck? 60705 What is the prevailing ill of our temporal society? 60705 What lot awaits us beyond this life, and how far do our resolutions and actions influence it? 60705 What said they who thought the most thereon? 60705 What share of influence will man, each individual man, exercise on his own and the public destiny? 60705 What then has happened? 60705 What then is the obstacle? 60705 What will happen if they do not live in peace, sincere peace? 60705 When the coarser passions are powerless, why should not the more mild and equitable feelings develope themselves? 60705 Whence does evil spring in the world and in ourselves? 60705 Who can struggle against ill if the good are themselves infected with it? 60705 amongst others to separate from her? 60705 how avoid a feeling of pride? 60705 { 13} What is the measure of authority necessary for Government, what the extent of liberty possible in human society? 60705 { 39} What has this experience, at the same time so much vaunted and so mournful, taught you? 60705 { 40} Do we not regain more than we lose? 60705 { 44} Who will refuse to these the name of morality? 60705 { 47}How can I do it?" |
60705 | { 96} Do we forget, besides, the first and most powerful cause of spiritual independence? |
13539 | And how many did you kill? |
13539 | Friends, is not my case amazing? 13539 How many of these,"he then inquired,"are daughters?" |
13539 | Why should you teach the heathen? |
13539 | ''Well,''I rejoined,''if it be so, what creates this agony of mind?'' |
13539 | Addressing the first, I said to her,''Friend, how many children have you destroyed?'' |
13539 | Again she exclaimed,"Can I not live two weeks?" |
13539 | And are none of you willing to follow their example? |
13539 | And are you Christ''s, or are you yet gay and thoughtless-- as gay and as thoughtless as this young lady was, until laid upon her dying bed? |
13539 | And are you, my dear children, yet out of Christ? |
13539 | And for what purpose? |
13539 | And have you nothing to do in this great work, my dear children? |
13539 | And is it possible that such persons can go to heaven? |
13539 | And now, my dear children, why do I tell you about these gods? |
13539 | And was this heathen so struck with the beauty of the precepts of the Bible-- so struck, that he had no peace until he gave himself to his Saviour? |
13539 | And what are these idols? |
13539 | And what did these chickens do? |
13539 | And what do you think that father did? |
13539 | And what have Christians ever done to honor their Saviour, which will bear a comparison with what the heathen do for their idols? |
13539 | And what have you ever done to prevent it? |
13539 | And where shall I then see you? |
13539 | And why should not you also come here, or go to other heathen lands? |
13539 | Are none of you willing to say, Here am I, Lord, send me? |
13539 | Are they the world and its vanities? |
13539 | Are you ready to exclaim, Is it possible that a people can be guilty of such utter folly? |
13539 | But can not you earn some? |
13539 | But where are these processions going? |
13539 | By this expression, she meant to say,"What kind of a god are you, not to look upon me, and help me in my distress?" |
13539 | Can little girls and boys do without sugar- candy? |
13539 | Can you think of any thing, my dear children more dishonoring to a holy God, than such worship? |
13539 | Did they not come around you and eat it? |
13539 | Did you ever give any money to send it to them? |
13539 | Did you ever take any corn or Indian meal and throw it to the chickens? |
13539 | Did you ever think whether it may not be your duty, by and by, to come to them, to tell them of this Gospel? |
13539 | Do you say that you have no money to give? |
13539 | Do you think that he took her up in his arms, and kissed her? |
13539 | Have you ever learned it, my dear children? |
13539 | Have you ever spoken bad words? |
13539 | Have you this Pearl of great price, my dear children? |
13539 | Have you, every morning and evening, prayed that the Gospel might be sent to this people? |
13539 | Have you, my dear children, attended to these requirements? |
13539 | He met a woman soon after this dreadful crime had been abolished to whom he said,"How many children have you?" |
13539 | How could such ever relish its pure joys? |
13539 | If you can be excused from coming or going, why may not all who are now little boys also be excused? |
13539 | If you have not, what have you? |
13539 | Looking up at me, on one occasion, she exclaimed,"Doctor, can not you save me?" |
13539 | My dear children, have you done this? |
13539 | My dear young friends, are there any of you who have never given your hearts to Christ? |
13539 | Now, my dear children, do you not think that you ought to pray for the poor heathen-- to pray that God will send the Gospel to them? |
13539 | O, what will such say, when they must meet the heathen at the bar of God? |
13539 | O, why is it that Christians have not long since sent this Bible to them? |
13539 | Of how much more value then, is it, in reference to the removal of their spiritual miseries? |
13539 | Shall I see any of you on the left hand of Christ, and hear him say,"Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels?" |
13539 | She then exclaimed,"Doctor, can I not live a month?" |
13539 | Tell me, have you this Pearl of great price? |
13539 | The salutation begins by the question,"Has the milk boiled?" |
13539 | They supposed that they heard a voice in answer pronouncing_ Enna?_ that is,_ What_? |
13539 | They supposed that they heard a voice in answer pronouncing_ Enna?_ that is,_ What_? |
13539 | Was not that a noble little girl? |
13539 | What is that? |
13539 | What would they do, could they be admitted there? |
13539 | What, my dear children, will you do for this purpose? |
13539 | When you grow up, can not you go and tell them of the Saviour? |
13539 | Who can dwell for ever with devouring flames? |
13539 | Who of you expect, by and by, to become missionaries to this land, to tell this people of the Pearl of great price? |
13539 | Who, O who can lie down in everlasting burnings? |
13539 | Why is it that they do not send it to them_ now_? |
13539 | Will you ever direct your little feet to the ballroom, or other places of sinful amusement? |
13539 | Will you ever take another sip from the cup of unhallowed pleasure? |
13539 | Will you hereafter prefer your worldly joys to Christ? |
13539 | Will you not resolve now, that you will, so long as God prospers you in worldly goods, give_ at least_ one- tenth of all you earn to the Lord? |
13539 | Will you think of it? |
13539 | Will you, then, be so mad as to turn a deaf ear to this call? |
21024 | Do you hear him? |
21024 | Hast thou an arm like God? 21024 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? |
21024 | Why should ye be stricken any more? 21024 --what have you done to obtain it, or to deserve it? 21024 A horseman is quickly despatched with the question, Is it peace? 21024 Again, what good will in his father''s heart to Esau? 21024 And glad is the Church, as, weary of strife and sin and sorrow, she looks up into the darksome sky, and cries, Watchman, what of the night? 21024 And how of the priests? 21024 And why? 21024 Are they not said in Scripture to beministering spirits sent forth to minister to them who are heirs of salvation?" |
21024 | Are you not of more value than many sparrows? |
21024 | At the throne of divine grace, none had ever to shed Esau''s tears, or cry with him, Hast thou but one blessing, O my father? |
21024 | But shall our world be the limits of the wondrous tale? |
21024 | But what need to ransack old history for examples? |
21024 | Canst thou thunder with a voice like him?" |
21024 | Cursed be the day wherein I was born?" |
21024 | Did Jonathan love David as his own soul? |
21024 | He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? |
21024 | He that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
21024 | He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?" |
21024 | How gladly should we accept them? |
21024 | How many pages of history are written with the point of the sword-- not with ink, but tears and blood? |
21024 | How may His people catch up and continue the strain which falls from angels''lips? |
21024 | If men reject peace, what chance for them in war? |
21024 | If that be not God''s greatest, and therefore most glorifying work, where are we to seek it? |
21024 | In dying chambers how are we made painfully, bitterly to feel that man''s power is not commensurate with his will? |
21024 | Not that we would not have still to ask,"Who can by searching find out God? |
21024 | Not without reason does He ask,"If I be a father, where is mine honour? |
21024 | Our glebes have been fattened with the bodies of the slain? |
21024 | This is sound reasoning-- for, as David says,"He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? |
21024 | Was not our Lord himself poor? |
21024 | What age has not been the era, what country the scene of bloody strifes? |
21024 | What availed his father''s good will to him, his favourite son? |
21024 | What else was the belief of our pagan fathers, that within a dark cave in the bowels of the earth there sat a great scaly dragon, brooding on gold? |
21024 | What else was the fabled garden of the Hesperides, where the trees, guarded by a fierce and formidable serpent, bore apples of gold? |
21024 | What peace, is the other''s answer, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother and her witchcrafts are so many? |
21024 | What said our Lord? |
21024 | What soil does not hold the dust of thousands that have fallen by brothers''hands? |
21024 | What though they can not see it? |
21024 | Who art thou? |
21024 | Why should a man blush for his humble origin? |
21024 | Why should any be ashamed of honest poverty? |
21024 | Why should we spare them, and lose our souls? |
21024 | _ PART III._ Some years ago the question which agitated the heart of Europe was, Peace or War? |
21024 | and the Son of man, that thou visitest him?" |
21024 | and the Son of man, that thou visitest him?" |
21024 | are not yours unequal?" |
21024 | but the thunder of his power who can understand?" |
21024 | if I be a master, where is my fear?" |
21024 | in what else is it found? |
21024 | that question might justly have met with Jehu''s answer,"What hast thou to do with peace?" |
21024 | touches him; and he asks,"What aileth thee?" |
21024 | where is he that hath taken venison and brought it me; and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? |
21024 | who can find out the Almighty to perfection?" |
47747 | 3)? |
47747 | 6_s._= WAS ISRAEL EVER IN EGYPT? |
47747 | Are we willing to take up the cross of sacrifice and suffer gladly with and in the passion of Incarnate Love? |
47747 | But is this really the case? |
47747 | But, it will be asked, how does this view of life eliminate suffering as an evil from the world? |
47747 | Can endorsement of this supposition be drawn from the realm of Natural Science? |
47747 | Can it truly be the Will of God that the innocent shall suffer for the guilty, the pure for the impure, the just for the unjust? |
47747 | Did not Christ thus challenge the criticism of the future? |
47747 | Do not the joys of love in its human relations between friends, husband and wife, parents and children, rest on a mutual surrender of self- interest? |
47747 | How can we expect to train our children in the ways of Truth if we give them no consistent standard for estimating what is true? |
47747 | How has His appeal to posterity been answered? |
47747 | How has His recommendation to test His words by the Spirit of Truth been obeyed? |
47747 | How then, can the destiny of man be said to be superior to that of the beasts? |
47747 | If so, for what end are these things ordained? |
47747 | If the light of God be in men, shall they not by that light perceive His glory? |
47747 | In short, is a belief in the immortal soul of man compatible with the evolutionary theory of his physical descent? |
47747 | Is not his body an artistic expression of the divine Spirit of Life, in whose likeness he is made? |
47747 | Is not man a dual creature? |
47747 | Is not the one an expression of the other, as Nature-- the vesture of God-- is the expression of the Spirit of Life? |
47747 | Is the authority claimed and exercised by the Church over the souls and minds of men to be unquestioned? |
47747 | Is the training of spiritual consciousness less important than the education and nourishment of the body? |
47747 | Is there not in reality fundamental unity between the secular and sacred aspects of all natural phenomena? |
47747 | Is there really such a thing as the soul? |
47747 | Meanwhile, can we not watch one hour? |
47747 | Or shall we resent the sacrifice of ourselves in the forwarding of His Will? |
47747 | Shall we give ourselves to God in willing co- operation with the divine regenerating purpose of life? |
47747 | Was not the Feast of the Passover, which He was then keeping with His apostles, a sacrifice of blood? |
47747 | What are its distinctive qualities, and how is its presence in personality to be recognised? |
47747 | What is? |
47747 | What kingdom divided against itself can stand? |
47747 | What more fitting material for His purpose than the common daily food and drink of people of all classes? |
47747 | What reasonable evidence is forthcoming in support of the conjecture? |
47747 | Whither are we tending? |
47747 | Without the hunger of mind and body, how could the nourishment necessary for the continuity of mental and physical life be obtained? |
418 | Again: if no other work were commanded, would not prayer alone suffice to exercise the whole life of man in faith? |
418 | And for what other purpose have tongue, voice, language and mouth been created? |
418 | And how could those in power serve God better and thereby also improve their own land? |
418 | And who could tell the extent of this vice in Christendom? |
418 | But how is this done? |
418 | But if you say:"What if I can not believe that my prayer is heard and accepted?" |
418 | But if you should say:"Why does not God do it alone and Himself, since He can and knows how to help each one?" |
418 | But what are the things which we must bring before Almighty God in prayer and lamentation, to exercise faith thereby? |
418 | But what else are God''s blessings and adversities than a constant urging and stirring up to praise, honor, and bless God, and to call upon His Name? |
418 | But who can hear it if no one preaches it? |
418 | Does not this First Commandment give us more work to do than any man can do? |
418 | For if the heart looks for divine favor and relies upon it, how is it possible that a man should be greedy and worry? |
418 | For what else are here the hungry, thirsty, naked, imprisoned, sick, strangers, than the souls of your own children? |
418 | For what manner of good deed is that, if we are liberal only to our friends? |
418 | For who can praise Him perfectly for the gift of natural life, not to mention all other temporal and eternal blessings? |
418 | For who lives an hour without trials? |
418 | For, tell me, what moment can pass in which we do not without ceasing receive God''s blessings, or, on the other hand, suffer adversity? |
418 | Here some men say:"How then could I bring my children into society, and marry them honorably? |
418 | How can we be so foolish? |
418 | How else could we know whether their lies and sins were to be avoided? |
418 | If it was possible among the Jews, why should it not also be possible among Christians? |
418 | Nay, if it is possible in villages, towns and some cities, as we all see, why should it not be possible everywhere? |
418 | Nay, is it not rather He alone Who will keep faith? |
418 | Now see, if a man wish not only to do good works, but even miracles, which God may praise and be pleased with, what need has he to look elsewhere? |
418 | Of what help is it, that they kill themselves with fasting, praying, making pilgrimages, and do all manner of good works? |
418 | Or what father is there of you, who, if his son shall ask bread, will he give him a stone? |
418 | Psalm,"How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? |
418 | Tell me, are not these the words of a heart which despairs of God, and trusts more on its own providing than on God''s care? |
418 | What can I say of this work? |
418 | What does this mean? |
418 | What greater work could be done on earth, whereby so many pious souls would be preserved, so many sinners converted? |
418 | What more terrible thing could happen to all the evil spirits? |
418 | What remains then for the outward act, striking, wounding, killing, injuring, etc., if the thoughts and words of anger are so severely condemned? |
418 | What then could many men do, if they united in calling upon God earnestly and with sincere confidence? |
418 | What work is there in heaven except that of this Second Commandment? |
418 | When the Jews asked Him:"What shall we do that we may work the works of God?" |
418 | When will there be an end of wrath, O heavenly Father? |
418 | Where are such parents? |
418 | Where are they that ask after good works? |
418 | Where are they who run to Rome, to St. James, hither and thither? |
418 | Where now are they who ask, what works are good; what they shall do; how they shall be religious? |
418 | Where now are they who desire to know and to do good works? |
418 | Who is he? |
418 | Why do they do this? |
418 | Why does he add,"call upon Him in truth"? |
418 | Why shall they lament, except because all their condemnation comes from their own children? |
418 | Why? |
418 | Yes, and where are they who say that when we preach of faith, we shall neither teach nor do works? |
418 | joyfully and gladly? |
418 | or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? |
418 | or if he ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? |
418 | what man is there on earth, who would not all his life long have enough to do with this work? |
418 | where are the idle ones, who do not know how to do good works? |
32756 | Dost thou believe on the Son of God? |
32756 | Have we not all one Father, hath not God created us? |
32756 | Lord, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 32756 What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God?" |
32756 | What kind of life am I living now? 32756 Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?" |
32756 | 2.--What has given these Scriptures such authority? |
32756 | 3.--Again, I repeat the question, what gave them that authority? |
32756 | And how do we grow to know our friends? |
32756 | And is it not the same with the affections? |
32756 | And last of all, in answer to our question, How should we pray? |
32756 | And what is prayer? |
32756 | And why not forthwith? |
32756 | Are not such songs in such an age one of the miracles of history? |
32756 | Are the movements in nature the product of law,--and how did the laws begin to operate and when? |
32756 | But what is the knowledge of God that has been revealed? |
32756 | Can death touch that life? |
32756 | Could God build the human soul with all its capacities for the few years of this fleeting life on earth? |
32756 | Did you ever hear a man tell of the peace and hope and power to conquer evil which he had won by an earnest study of the Latin classics? |
32756 | Do you not feel that you must have done the same if you had been there? |
32756 | Does Science throw any light on our problem? |
32756 | Does nature reveal an intelligence behind the universe and working in it? |
32756 | Does this internal condition correspond to reality? |
32756 | Every man should therefore put the question to himself:"If_ I_ die, shall I live again?" |
32756 | HOW HAS HE DONE THIS? |
32756 | Has there not been a tendency to suppress the emotions because there are emotional religious cults almost divorced from morality and the intellect? |
32756 | He alone could fearlessly ask the question:--"Which of you convicteth me of sin"? |
32756 | How could men help loving and reverencing and preserving such songs? |
32756 | How could the people doubt it? |
32756 | How could they help feeling that a divine Spirit was behind them? |
32756 | How could they help it? |
32756 | How did men come to believe and obey as Divinely inspired the words of Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, and the rest? |
32756 | How will it be recognized or known? |
32756 | IF A MAN DIE SHALL HE LIVE AGAIN? |
32756 | In trying to answer the question,"What is prayer?" |
32756 | Is it a friendship with God which death can never extinguish?" |
32756 | Is it life eternal, or life merely temporal? |
32756 | Is it not also true of man? |
32756 | Is it nothing more than a"looking upward"by one in need to one able to supply the need? |
32756 | Is matter the real thing and the true explanation of it all? |
32756 | Is this difficult? |
32756 | It comes to us full of answers to our question, Why should we pray? |
32756 | Man''s conscience whispers that the Judge of all the earth will do right; but how can He do right with all His creatures, unless He has more time? |
32756 | Need we be disquieted about a Book that comes to us thus accredited in so many powerful ways? |
32756 | No one who can think or feel is able to look unmoved on the face of death: he must ask"Shall he live again?" |
32756 | Now it would seem as if the morning, first thing in the morning, is the time especially to do this? |
32756 | Perhaps, too, it has something to do with temperament? |
32756 | This sometimes seems a very mystical, far away subject, does it not? |
32756 | WHAT DO WE KNOW OF GOD? |
32756 | WHAT IS FAITH? |
32756 | WHERE CAN WE LEARN OF GOD? |
32756 | Was ever national history so extraordinarily written? |
32756 | Well, but why was it accepted before their day without any such formal sanction? |
32756 | Well, how has his prophecy been fulfilled? |
32756 | What candles, then, does Science light up for us? |
32756 | What is one to do with it in an essay limited to twenty pages? |
32756 | What is prayer? |
32756 | What is the inference? |
32756 | What is this thing which is so great, and yet so close to hand, which is so worth while doing, and which we can all do, and do at once? |
32756 | What is worship? |
32756 | What then is this faith which Jesus Christ asks of people? |
32756 | What truths does it contain? |
32756 | Who can know what love is except by loving? |
32756 | Whoever met the lover who became so through his intellect? |
32756 | Why have not men reached a decisive answer? |
32756 | Why not? |
32756 | Why then were their utterances accepted? |
32756 | Yes, but when? |
32756 | Yes, but when? |
32756 | [ 3] HOW SHOULD WE PRAY? |
54793 | ''O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
54793 | ''Would you know,''says Epictetus,''the means to perfection which Socrates followed? |
54793 | ''[ 29]''Do I condemn the law?'' |
54793 | ''[ 85] Is an original man''s essential, characteristic idea, that which he adopts thus bodily from some one else? |
54793 | ''[ 86] Did Jeremiah say that? |
54793 | Am I seeking to make the course of my life and yours other than a service and an obedience?'' |
54793 | And how does Christ enable us to do this? |
54793 | And how was this come to mankind? |
54793 | And what is all this but the very feeding and stimulating of our ordinary self, instead of the annulling of it? |
54793 | And what is being saved from our sins? |
54793 | And what is the answer of the bishops? |
54793 | And why? |
54793 | Are we to take for such all who shall confidently affirm themselves to be such? |
54793 | Are you wiser than the hundreds of learned people who for generation after generation have been occupying themselves with St. Paul and little else? |
54793 | Because we are no longer under the law, are we to sin? |
54793 | But how can growth possibly find place in this doctrine, while it is held in such a fashion? |
54793 | But righteousness is religion; and the Nonconformists say:''Who have done so much for righteousness as we?'' |
54793 | But why? |
54793 | Does any one imagine that all the Church shared Augustine''s speculative opinions about grace and predestination? |
54793 | Does any one imagine that all who stood with the Church and did not join themselves to the Arians, were speculatively Athanasians? |
54793 | Has it been left for you to bring in a new religion and found a new church?'' |
54793 | Is any one the author of it except Paul? |
54793 | Is there not, then, any separation which is right and reasonable? |
54793 | Need it be said that he never forgot them, and that in all his pages they have left their trace? |
54793 | The sixth chapter comes to the all- important question:''What_ is_ that faith in Christ which I, Paul, mean?'' |
54793 | This openness of mind the Puritans have not shared with the Church, and how_ should_ they have shared it? |
54793 | To whom is this change owing? |
54793 | True; but could it establish itself there? |
54793 | Was there ever such a confession made? |
54793 | Well, but why, says the Dissenting minister, is the clergyman to impress St. Paul''s words upon me rather than I upon the clergyman? |
54793 | Well, then, how did Paul''s faith, working through love, help him here? |
54793 | What can that matter, unless he compels you, too, to profess the same opinions, or refuses you admission if you do not? |
54793 | What can we so fitly name the somewhat degenerated and inadequate form of Hellenism as_ Millism_? |
54793 | What indeed, as we have seen, is for Paul life, and what is death? |
54793 | What is it which sets Paul in motion? |
54793 | What is to add to the Law of God if this be not?" |
54793 | What then was, in brief, the Christian gospel, or''good news''? |
54793 | What will that new reason be? |
54793 | What, then, was the essence? |
54793 | Where there is jealousy and strife among you, asks St. Paul,_ are ye not carnal_? |
54793 | Why are we to be more blamed than the Church for the strife arising out of our rival existences? |
54793 | Why does not the Church? |
54793 | Why should I trouble myself about the name his office bears? |
54793 | Why, it may be asked, does Paul, instead of employing a special term to denote his special meaning, still thus employ the general term faith? |
54793 | [ 106] And what is the kingdom of God or kingdom of heaven? |
54793 | [ 2] But from which of the younger members of the Evangelical clergy do such strokes now come? |
54793 | [ 7] are ye not still in bondage to your mere lower selves? |
54793 | he keeps saying;''do I forget that the commandment is holy, just, and good? |
54793 | that many members of it did not rather incline, as a matter of speculative opinion, to the notions of Pelagius? |
54793 | who were the beginners of it? |
54793 | why do I die daily? |
40798 | Did you ever read or hear,said Calvin in a letter to Sturm,"of anything more opportune than the death of the King? |
40798 | What evil have I done thee? 40798 Whither goest thou?" |
40798 | Why weep,said a boy of ten,"to see me die of hunger? |
40798 | [ 352] What use might she not make of these fascinations of hers on the vain, turbulent nobles of Scotland? 40798 [ 729] This is perhaps true; but what would all these things have come to apart from the activity of the Company of Jesus? |
40798 | ( 2) What are the Articles of the Christian Faith( the Apostles''Creed)? |
40798 | 144- 146:"Nous avons les dieux des Prebstres, en voullés vous? |
40798 | But how was this to be enforced? |
40798 | Did Calvin also disdain to use the New Learning merely to display scholarship, did he mean to put it to modern uses? |
40798 | Did he imitate him in more? |
40798 | Did the Council wish to give their decision a semblance of ecclesiastical authority?] |
40798 | Have I not so read in the Bible?" |
40798 | He asked whether there were any married clergymen, or clergymen who had not separated themselves from their wives or concubines? |
40798 | He ended his sermon( Dec. 2nd) with the words:"Where are those fine preachers of the fireside, who say the opposite? |
40798 | How could a gourd have preached, done miracles, hung on the Cross? |
40798 | How do you know that it is the Lord''s? |
40798 | How were the preachers persuaded to forego their opposition? |
40798 | If I have your word for it, who will guarantee that the King will not deny it, and be absolved for his breach of faith by the Pope?" |
40798 | Is that so certain? |
40798 | Might they not all wait for the decision of a General Council? |
40798 | Or what ar ye within this Commounwealth?'' |
40798 | Quid si ad apertam præsentiæ confessionem veniretur? |
40798 | So one heard a confused noise,''My son so and so, my husband, my brother, are you there?'' |
40798 | The question occurs, When did his conversion take place? |
40798 | The question was: Would the new nation accept the Reformed religion, or would the reaction triumph? |

39966 | He at once awoke, and they called out,"Why do you alone lie snoring here, while all your brethren are watching in the church?" |

39966 | She then retorted,"But what will it signify to you, Emperor, if it is left to some other person to do me justice? |
39966 | Sylvester, with some shrewdness, observed,"As he who whispered the name must be well acquainted with it, why does not he fall dead in like manner?" |
39966 | The King heard of this, and next day at dinner said,"How was it, lord bishop, that you gave away that fine horse to a beggar man? |
39966 | The King hearing of this, asked Aidan why he did such a thing, and the answer was,"Surely a mare is nothing to compare with that son of God?" |
39966 | The astonished apostle said,"Lord, whither goest Thou?" |
39966 | The bishop''s answer was,"Surely, King, the foal of a mare can not be dearer to you than that son of God?" |

39966 | What was to be done with this intolerable nuisance? |
39966 | When challenged for these constantly repeated exercises, he would say,"If I spent twice as much time in dice and hawking, should I be so rebuked?" |

21992 | Dim tracts of time divide Those golden days from me; Thy voice comes strange o''er years of change; How can I follow Thee? 21992 A body of students recently requested an address upon the subject:What is the use of religion anyway?" |
21992 | As we imagine ourselves in their places, are we ready with any glibness to talk about progress in character? |
21992 | But character, fidelity, loyalty to conscience and to God-- are we sure of progress there? |
21992 | But in such a statement one towering interrogation has been neglected: what about the interpretation of the very facts which science does present? |
21992 | But who that has walked with discerning eyes through these last few years can any longer be beguiled by that fallacious vision? |
21992 | Caesar and Napoleon-- were they unintelligent? |
21992 | Can it be that God is less good than Jesus said we ought to be? |
21992 | Could not one address himself to the question of those students in some such way as this? |
21992 | D., would that solve the human problem? |
21992 | Did Aladdin once rub a magic lamp and build a palace? |
21992 | Did Jericho''s walls once fall at the united shout of a besieging people? |
21992 | Did Joshua once prolong the day for battle by the staying of the sun? |
21992 | Did an axe- head float once when Elisha threw a stick into the water? |
21992 | Did the Israelites once cross the Red Sea dry- shod? |
21992 | Do not I fill heaven and earth?" |
21992 | Do we mean that because Tennyson came after Shelly he is therefore the greater poet? |
21992 | Do you ask us then under these conditions to keep our hands off? |
21992 | Do you suppose that we ministers do not know how we must appear to you when we try to discuss the details of business? |
21992 | From Sinai to Calvary-- was ever a record of progressive revelation more plain or more convincing? |
21992 | Has the most monumental and destructive selfishness in human history been associated with poor minds? |
21992 | How could one help comparing him with my friend who could not believe? |
21992 | How do we know? |
21992 | How shall she regard this passionate belief in the possibility of social betterment and this enthusiastic determination to achieve it? |
21992 | How, then, when we think of that Power, can we leave spirit out? |
21992 | If ever we are condescended to, does any assertion rise more quickly in our thought than the old cry of our boyhood,"I am as good as you are"? |
21992 | In creation are we dealing with the kind of power which in ordinary life we recognize as physical, or with the kind which we recognize as spiritual? |
21992 | Is human history like that? |
21992 | Is it all going to end as Bertrand Russell says? |
21992 | Is it not because science supplies men with power? |
21992 | Is it not plain why religion has such an unbreakable hold upon the human mind? |
21992 | Is not the body wholly_ ensouled_, and is not the soul wholly_ embodied_? |
21992 | Is progress an illusion? |
21992 | Is that practical? |
21992 | Is that practical? |
21992 | Is that true? |
21992 | Is that true? |
21992 | Is that true? |
21992 | Is that true? |
21992 | Is that true? |
21992 | Is there anybody who can blind his eyes to the facts now? |
21992 | Or may it be there is no haven, only endless sailing on an endless sea by a ship that never will arrive? |
21992 | Progress? |
21992 | Suddenly he turned on me and said,"If the United States should go into a war which you regarded as unjust and wrong, what would you do?" |
21992 | Then why go back to ancient Palestine for the chief exemplar of the spiritual life? |
21992 | This is the meaning of Jephthah''s protest to a hostile chieftain:"Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess?" |
21992 | Toward what sort of haven is this good ship earth sailing-- a port fortunate or ill? |
21992 | Was Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon unintelligent? |
21992 | Was there ever a more stirring story of adventure than is given us in the life of David Livingstone? |
21992 | We have had a long time to outgrow the character and fidelity of those first Christians; do we think that we have done so? |
21992 | What are we to say of such men and women? |
21992 | What attitude shall the Christian Church take toward this challenging endeavour to save society? |
21992 | What can we make of it? |
21992 | What do you make of it? |
21992 | What do you make of it? |
21992 | What do you make of this mysterious sense of duty which lays its magisterial hand upon us and will not be denied? |
21992 | What has chronology to do with spiritual quality and creativeness, which always must rise from within, out of the abysmal depths of personality? |
21992 | What is the essential difference between professions and business? |
21992 | What kind of education is meant? |
21992 | Where is there a mind on earth today like Plato''s? |
21992 | Where is there a spirit today like Paul''s? |
21992 | Who follows in his train?" |
21992 | Who would accept a snapshot taken at any point on the road of Christian development as the final and perfect form of Christianity? |
21992 | Why is it that if we let a field run wild it goes to weeds, while if we wish wheat we must fight for every grain of it? |
21992 | Why is it that if we let human nature run loose it goes to evil, while he who would be virtuous must struggle to achieve character? |
21992 | Why war? |
21992 | Will they allow a whole continent to live like beasts in such hovels, millions of negroes cribbed, cabined, and confined in dens of disease? |
21992 | With such power to bestow, is she not our rightful mistress? |
21992 | Would we ever think of saying that we do not know, ourselves, but that we rely on the authorities? |
21992 | [ 1] James H. Snowden: Is the World Growing Better? |
30160 | The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? |
30160 | Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? |
30160 | Why callest thou me good? 30160 A God who gives you an intellect which grasps after eternity, and is always saying on the summit of any endeavor achieved,What next?" |
30160 | ARE they?" |
30160 | After these words had been read to the princes of Israel, they asked Baruch, saying,"Tell us now, how didst thou write all these words at his mouth?" |
30160 | Always, and involuntarily, we ask,"Why do we die?" |
30160 | Am I turning in upon myself and playing the mere harlequin in the arena of mental gymnastics? |
30160 | And what does all this mean? |
30160 | And who is he who can do this but the living God alone? |
30160 | And why not? |
30160 | Are you willing to face him in eternity with that inexorable alternative:"IF NOT GOD-- NOT GOOD?" |
30160 | At the close of this fearful confession he asks,''Can your God save such an one as I am?''" |
30160 | Can you climb through nature up to nature''s God and say,"I have found him, I know him?" |
30160 | Can you hear, understand and love a God like that? |
30160 | Christianity WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY? |
30160 | Do you care to kneel and worship there? |
30160 | Do you wonder that this Christianity of the primitive centuries triumphed so phenomenally? |
30160 | Do you wonder the world stopped, listened, and that multitudes turned and followed after? |
30160 | He said:"Which of you convinceth me of sin?" |
30160 | He turns upon them quickly and says,"Have you anything to eat?" |
30160 | How did Isaiah know all this? |
30160 | How did Isaiah know that the world is round? |
30160 | How did Job know all this in that far day when he sat at his tent door in the beauty of the cloudless sky and without a telescope? |
30160 | How did he know of that imponderable ether in which the stellar universe is said to float? |
30160 | How did he know what only the modern telescope reveals, that the North is stretched out over the empty place? |
30160 | How did he learn to speak of"the circle of the earth,"at the time when the scientific men of his day said that it was four square and flat? |
30160 | How is it that he made use of the most scientific term when he speaks of the heavens as"thinness"? |
30160 | How may we know it is all it claims to be? |
30160 | In the hush of a world that can not even murmur, he steps forward and once more rings down his challenge:"Which of you convinceth me of sin?" |
30160 | In the light of facts already cited, what other conclusion can be drawn than that Christ and the Bible were intended for each other? |
30160 | Into this emphasis of brevity and uncertainty, there enters another element which increasingly raises the question--"Is it worth while?" |
30160 | Is death really natural? |
30160 | Is it playing fast and loose with the mind? |
30160 | Is it worth while to carry burdens which force us to look down into the dust of the highway, and not up and out to the wider landscape? |
30160 | Is it worth while to put so much force of soul and spirit, brain and heart into things from which we may be summoned without a moment''s notice? |
30160 | Is that the picture the natural man paints of himself? |
30160 | Is this man''s attitude to, and definition of, forgiveness and peace? |
30160 | It met the needs of men who, standing above their dead, asked again the old and oft- repeated question of Job,"If a man die, shall he live again?" |
30160 | No one ever thinks of asking,"Why do we live?" |
30160 | Shall man be more pure than his Maker?" |
30160 | Shall man be more pure than his Maker?" |
30160 | Shall we say it is a part of nature''s economy-- as legitimate as birth? |
30160 | The Bible teaches that in the awful cry,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
30160 | This is his own argument: A young man came to him and said,"Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life? |
30160 | Those who saw him in former days and see him now might in all reason ask,"Is this he, or some other man?" |
30160 | WHAT is Christianity? |
30160 | What are they? |
30160 | What author on earth would think his book dead and out of date if year after year the publication of it taxed the printing presses of the world? |
30160 | What can you say but that your heart is better than the heart of the God which nature reveals? |
30160 | What is the conclusion concerning this God of nature? |
30160 | What is the conclusion of the matter concerning you? |
30160 | What is the secret of it all? |
30160 | What kind of a God does nature reveal to you? |
30160 | What man is he who can assure himself of ten days? |
30160 | What man is there of you who, if he could, would not make every human being well and happy? |
30160 | What man is there of you, if he had the power, would not banish sickness, sorrow, pain and death? |
30160 | What then shall we say concerning this fact of death? |
30160 | What then? |
30160 | What will you say of this God of nature in such a scheme? |
30160 | When you yearn for love, will his inexorable law supply it? |
30160 | When your heart aches, will such a God care for you? |
30160 | When your soul is dark, will his lightnings illumine it? |
30160 | Whence came the wisdom which kept Moses from hopelessly blundering? |
30160 | Where did Ezekiel get this knowledge? |
30160 | Where will you turn to find God and know him to your comfort? |
30160 | Who is the God who creates one man with all the equipment for life, and another man with all the lack of it? |
30160 | Who taught him to say that God spread out the heavens as"thinness,"when the wise men of that hour were teaching they were a solid vault? |
30160 | Will his thunders console you? |
30160 | Wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?" |
30160 | Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Lord? |
30160 | You can climb up, but where will you find him? |
30160 | and he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? |
30160 | what immensity of self- conscious power what authority and dignity-- the dignity of infinite integrity:"Shall mortal man be more just than God? |
37531 | Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? 37531 [ 51] Do we not here catch a glimpse of what the depth of that satisfaction with the inner life of God in Christ may be? |
37531 | ( 2) What is required for the final positive justification of the social consciousness as ethical? |
37531 | All these motives, now, make us refuse, with Christ, to answer the question,"Are there few that be saved?" |
37531 | And upon whom does it fall? |
37531 | Back of it lies the deeper question, Why just these laws, and modes of procedure? |
37531 | Can we find our way out of this confusion? |
37531 | Can we really think of such a God as simply quiescent, and not as always active? |
37531 | Could there be a more solemn judgment seat? |
37531 | Do we know what a founder of religion does? |
37531 | Do we need, or can we intelligently use, a mystical solidarity? |
37531 | Do we so ground our view the more securely? |
37531 | First, then, how can it be that we do influence one another? |
37531 | For whom is there no growth? |
37531 | From this point of view of the Christian theologian, now, what does the social consciousness mean? |
37531 | HOW CAN IT BE, METAPHYSICALLY, THAT WE DO INFLUENCE ONE ANOTHER? |
37531 | Has the world anywhere a phenomenon comparable to this? |
37531 | How are we to explain that fact? |
37531 | How are we to_ think_ of Christ? |
37531 | How can it be that we do so influence one another? |
37531 | How can it be, Metaphysically, that we do Influence One Another? |
37531 | How does a father distinguish between what he calls an obedient and a disobedient child? |
37531 | How in any fair sense may one be called obedient? |
37531 | How is it that we come to God through him? |
37531 | Is it not a fearful thing to be judged by the law of liberty? |
37531 | Is it possible briefly to indicate both the recognition of emotion and the control of emotion in religion? |
37531 | Is not Herrmann right when he says that all that can be said of the God of this mysticism is"that he is not the world? |
37531 | Is not his activity involved in his complete personality? |
37531 | Is there any way back to the childlike spirit? |
37531 | Is there something holier than the holy ethical will seen realized in Christ''s life and death? |
37531 | Is this not a simply true interpretation of the common consciousness? |
37531 | It means simply: With what changes in theological statements would the social consciousness naturally find itself most sympathetic? |
37531 | Must not every man who wishes to be clear and honest with himself fairly face these questions? |
37531 | Nay, must we not make it necessarily the very center of all our thought here? |
37531 | Now what can cover the sin of the world in God''s eyes? |
37531 | Now, are we to reach a deeper view of redemption, by turning away from the deepest ethical fact to the unethical? |
37531 | Now, when would these conditions become ideal? |
37531 | Or if, without separation, God in any sense, in the most inner way, passes judgment, how does approval fall upon any? |
37531 | The answer to this question involves a preliminary one: What is the point of view of the theologian in any investigation? |
37531 | The question simply is, May this law of mutual influence hold of those bound up with our lives even when they are distant from us or estranged? |
37531 | This question includes two:( 1) How can it be metaphysically that we do influence one another? |
37531 | To make the relative position of Jesus among the founders of religion lower? |
37531 | Upon what does he rely in his hope for matured character in the child? |
37531 | WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE FINAL POSITIVE JUSTIFICATION OF THE SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS AS ETHICAL? |
37531 | WHAT IS THE FALSELY MYSTICAL? |
37531 | What are these grounds of the supremacy of Christ? |
37531 | What are these prerequisites for a moral world? |
37531 | What evidence have we that Christ ever felt in the slightest degree such penitence? |
37531 | What has a theodicy to say as to these facts? |
37531 | What has been the outcome of that study? |
37531 | What is Required for the Final Positive Justification of the Social Consciousness, as Ethical? |
37531 | What is it that satisfies the father in such a case? |
37531 | What is the Falsely Mystical? |
37531 | What is the final explanation of the constant fact of our reciprocal action? |
37531 | What, now, makes it possible for a man to expect, in any sense, a favorable judgment of God upon his life? |
37531 | Who has not begun at all? |
37531 | Why must the facts, of which the social consciousness is the reflection, be as they are if ideal interests are to be supreme? |
37531 | Why should we wish to make society less significant than it is? |
37531 | Why, that is, from the point of view of the ideal-- of religion and theology-- why are we constituted so alike? |
37531 | Would Christ so think? |
37531 | You have been in the fields in early morning? |
37531 | _ The Consequent Ethical and Spiritual Meaning of Substitution and Propitiation._--Can we go yet a step farther here? |
37531 | and so that we must love them? |
37531 | and, so saying, confirm again the great Christian truths? |
37531 | but the theoretical one, How should the social consciousness naturally affect religion and doctrine? |
37531 | does it necessarily, most naturally, most spontaneously, and most joyfully carry righteousness of life with it? |
37531 | how is our reciprocal action metaphysically possible? |
37531 | so that the innocent suffer with the guilty and the guilty profit with the righteous? |
37531 | so that the results of our actions necessarily go over into the lives of others? |
37531 | so that we must influence one another? |
37531 | so that we must recognize everywhere the claim of others? |
37531 | so that we must respect their personality? |
13750 | But how should a poor soul do, so to run? |
13750 | Know ye not that they which run in a race, run all, but one receiveth the prize? |
13750 | Know you not that they which run in a race, run all, but one receiveth the prize? 13750 What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" |
13750 | ''But surely I may begin this time enough, a year or two hence; may I not?'' |
13750 | ''Nay,''say they,''why may not we, as well as he? |
13750 | Also, your neighbors are diligent for things that will perish; and will you be slothful for things that will endure for ever? |
13750 | And dost thou not condemn thyself that dost the very same in effect? |
13750 | And how if thou shouldst come but one quarter of an hour too late? |
13750 | And how were they served that are mentioned in the 13th of Luke, for staying till the door was shut? |
13750 | And if the righteous, that is, they that run for it, will find work enough to get to heaven, then where will the ungodly backsliding sinner appear? |
13750 | And if they shall not escape that neglect, then how shall they escape, that reject and turn their back upon so great a salvation? |
13750 | And if thou dost, thou wilt run into the bosom of Christ, and of God; and then what harm will that do thee? |
13750 | And therefore, Secondly, Wilt thou be so sottish and unwise, as to venture thy soul upon a little uncertain time? |
13750 | Are his ministers slothful in tendering this unto you? |
13750 | Are you so hasty? |
13750 | Art thou enquiring the way to heaven? |
13750 | Art thou got into the right way? |
13750 | Art thou in Christ''s righteousness? |
13750 | Art thou resolved to follow me? |
13750 | Art thou resolved to sleep the sleep of death? |
13750 | Art thou resolved to strip? |
13750 | Art thou therefore discharged and unladen of these things? |
13750 | Art thou unladen of the things of this world, as pride, pleasures, profits, lusts, vanities? |
13750 | But is not this a shame for them that are such? |
13750 | Can a man believe in Christ, and not be hated by the devil? |
13750 | Can darkness agree with light? |
13750 | Can he make a profession of this Christ, and that sweetly, and convincingly, and the children of Satan hold their tongue? |
13750 | Can you not do as your neighbors do-- carry the world, sin, lust, pleasure, profit, esteem among men, along with you?'' |
13750 | Can you not stay and take these along with you? |
13750 | Could fire and faggot, sword or halter, stinking dungeons, whips, bears, bulls, lions, cruel rackings, stoning, starving, nakedness? |
13750 | Did ever God tell thee thou shalt live half a year, or two months longer? |
13750 | Did you never read that the Dragon persecuted the woman? |
13750 | Do you think those ever come thither? |
13750 | Dost thou count all things but poor, lifeless, empty, vain things, without communion with him? |
13750 | Dost thou count his company more precious than the whole world? |
13750 | Doth his company sweeten all things; and his absence embitter all things? |
13750 | EXPOSTULATION.--Well then, sinner, what sayest thou? |
13750 | First, Hast thou any lease of thy life? |
13750 | Friends, Solomon saith, that"the desire of the slothful killeth him;"and if so, what will slothfulness itself do to those that entertain it? |
13750 | God''s people wish well to the soul of others, and wilt not thou wish well to thy own? |
13750 | How much more will it perplex thee, to think, that thou hadst not a care of thy own? |
13750 | How then will it be with thee? |
13750 | How was Esau served for staying too long before he came for the blessing? |
13750 | How was Lot''s wife served for running lazily, and for giving but one look behind her, after the things she left in Sodom? |
13750 | How wilt thou answer that saying,''You would not enter in yourselves, and them that would, you hindered?'' |
13750 | I say, dost thou see thyself in him? |
13750 | I tell you this is no easy matter; if it were, what need of all those prayers, sighs, watchings? |
13750 | If thou now say, Which is the way? |
13750 | Is it not one and the same thing? |
13750 | Is not this enough to make any poor soul begin his race? |
13750 | Is thy mind always musing on him? |
13750 | Much of your lives are past; and will you be slothful? |
13750 | Nay, do you not see with your eyes daily, that perseverance is a very great part of the cross? |
13750 | Nay, do you not see, that some men before they will set about this work, will even venture the loss of their souls, heaven, God, Christ, and all? |
13750 | Or art thou not? |
13750 | Or if they were, would they be afraid that God would not make them welcome? |
13750 | Or the devil endure that Christ Jesus should be honored both by faith and a heavenly conversation, and let that soul alone at quiet? |
13750 | Reader, what sayest thou to this? |
13750 | Shall I speak of the satisfaction and of the duration of all these? |
13750 | THE SECOND USE.--If so, then in the next place, What will become of them that are grown weary before they are got half way thither? |
13750 | The curse of God hangs over your heads; and will you be slothful? |
13750 | The day of death and judgment is at the door; and will ye be slothful? |
13750 | The saints of old, being willing and resolved for heaven, what could stop them? |
13750 | They are all one here, and shall not one and the same hell hold them hereafter? |
13750 | Thirdly, Dost thou know whether the day of grace will last a week longer or no? |
13750 | Thou saidst I was thus, and thus; wherefore then gavest thou not my money to the bank? |
13750 | Time runs; and will ye be slothful? |
13750 | Was Christ slothful in the work of your redemption? |
13750 | What is like it? |
13750 | What mean else all those delays and put- offs, saying,''Stay a little longer; I am loath to leave my sins while I am so young, and in health?'' |
13750 | What need we be so backward to it? |
13750 | What shall I say besides, that hath not already been said? |
13750 | What shall I say? |
13750 | Where is thy heart? |
13750 | Why else do men so soon grow weary? |
13750 | Will it not be a dishonor to thee to see the very boys and girls in the country, to have more wit than thyself? |
13750 | Will neither tidings from heaven nor hell awake thee? |
13750 | Will you leave your friends and companions behind you? |
13750 | Wilt thou run? |
13750 | Wilt thou say still, yet a little sleep, a little slumber, and a little folding of the arms to sleep? |
13750 | Wilt thou yet turn thyself in thy sloth, as the door is turned upon the hinges? |
13750 | Would he be afraid of friends, or shrink at the most fearful threatenings that the greatest tyrants could invent to give him?'' |
13750 | Would he favor sin? |
13750 | Would he love this world below? |
13750 | Would they be here again for a thousand worlds? |
13750 | Would you be willing to be damned for slothfulness? |
13750 | Wouldst thou be willing to be left behind them? |
13750 | Your souls are worth a thousand worlds; and will ye be slothful? |
13750 | and also to be walking with him? |
13750 | and is he more precious to thee than the whole world? |
13750 | art thou asleep still? |
13750 | do you think that every heavy heeled professor will have heaven? |
13750 | dost thou think to run fast enough, with the world, thy sins, and lusts, in thy heart? |
13750 | every lazy one? |
13750 | how many such runners will there be found in the day of judgment? |
13750 | if he were one quarter of an hour to behold, to see, to feel, to taste, and enjoy but the thousandth part of what we enjoy, what would he do? |
13750 | nay worse; that loiterest in thy race, notwithstanding thy soul, heaven, glory, and all is at stake? |
13750 | to lose all these brave things that my eyes behold, for that which I never saw with my eyes? |
13750 | to lose my pride, my covetousness, my vain company, sports, and pleasures, and the rest? |
13750 | to run back again, back again to sin, to the world, to the devil, back again to the lusts of the flesh? |
13750 | what shall I do now? |
13750 | what would he leave undone? |
13750 | what would he suffer? |
13750 | will you go,''saith the devil,''without your sins, pleasures and profits? |
29268 | Am I in this defending a cause proper to myself? 29268 In Rome are fulfilled the prophet''s words against Niniveh:''Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding- place of the young lions? |
29268 | Lord Pope Silverius,said Antonina,"what have we done to thee and the Romans that thou wouldst deliver us into the hands of the Goths?" |
29268 | What shall I say of that most glorious solemnity of your regeneration? 29268 [ 212] But how were these prelates bound together in a firm alliance? |
29268 | ''[ 181] Were not its commanders and its princes lions who overran the whole world, and ravened, and slaughtered the prey? |
29268 | --_Month._ Which is the True Church? |
29268 | Am I an Eutychean, or do I defend Eutycheans, whose madness is the chief support[77] to the Manichean error? |
29268 | Am I resisting my own special injury? |
29268 | Am I to grieve over such things? |
29268 | And you, who accept the Alexandrian Peter, do you strive to tread under foot St. Peter the Apostle in the person of his successor, whoever he may be? |
29268 | And, thirdly, did not St. Leo, who confirmed the Council of Chalcedon, annul in it whatever was done beyond the Nicene canons? |
29268 | Asserters of the Church''s division are pioneers of infidelity, for who can believe in what has fallen? |
29268 | Because you are emperor, do you think there is no judgment of God? |
29268 | But how when it comes to a succession of men? |
29268 | But if that is contained in the letters which both your Father hopes and your piety agrees to, what has he done? |
29268 | But it must be added, if their confession was the truth, why not obey it? |
29268 | But where are those who once rejoiced in its glory? |
29268 | Can I preach to one now complete in faith, that faith which he recognised before his completion? |
29268 | Can any appeal be more touching than that which they made, and made in vain, to the"Christian king and Roman prince"? |
29268 | Can any family show four such? |
29268 | Can anyone calculate the power which maintains such a succession through centuries? |
29268 | Did not the emperor often hold his court at Ravenna, at Milan, at Sirmium, at Treves? |
29268 | Did the bishops of these cities ever claim to themselves a dignity beyond the measure of that which had descended to them from ancient times? |
29268 | Did the loss of its bishop''s prerogatives follow? |
29268 | Did they pass to Byzantium because it was become the imperial city, because the sole emperor dwelt there? |
29268 | Do we, then, not seek the glory of this name, even when offered to us, and does another catch at it for himself, when it is not offered? |
29268 | Does his language in the nineteenth century differ much from his language in the sixth? |
29268 | For where is the senate? |
29268 | How can one who is not allowed to live take pleasure in the mystical sense of Scripture? |
29268 | How can one whose daily chalice is bitterness present sweets for others to drink? |
29268 | How many families can show a continuous succession of three temporal rulers equally great? |
29268 | How, then, is it lawful to incriminate the Principate of the whole Church? |
29268 | If a bishop was the greater for being bishop of the imperial city, should he not be the more courageous in suggesting the right course? |
29268 | If he answer,''What do they contain?'' |
29268 | If he say,''In what order is that to take place?'' |
29268 | If he say,''What are those forms?'' |
29268 | If he say,''What mean you by that?'' |
29268 | If the attribution is so proved, what is there in the papal power which is not divinely conferred and guaranteed? |
29268 | If the emperor say,''Should my city remain without a bishop, is it your desire that where I am there should be no bishop?'' |
29268 | If the sailors turn against their captain, how will they escape? |
29268 | If there was such distinction of ranks even in the sinless, what man should hesitate to obey a disposition to which angels are subject? |
29268 | If those who subscribed this confession subscribed a falsehood, why pretend any longer to attribute authority to the Church? |
29268 | If we do not return to Christ, how can we call upon His aid in the struggle?" |
29268 | If we treat you ill in persuading you to quit heretics, do you treat us well who would throw us into their communion? |
29268 | Is there a heart of stone which would not be softened on hearing of so great a work into praises of Almighty God and affection for your Excellency? |
29268 | It cries: O Christian prince, why do you allow me to be interrupted in that course of charity which binds together the universal Church? |
29268 | It is a full acknowledgment; for how else was St. Leo entrusted by the Saviour with the guardianship of the Vine? |
29268 | O emperor, what will you do in the divine judgment? |
29268 | Of what metropolitan church was he the prelate? |
29268 | On what, then, did the Pope rely? |
29268 | Or humility to one who has long shown us devotion, which now his profession claims as a debt? |
29268 | Or, because you are emperor, do you struggle against the power of Peter? |
29268 | Shortly after his accession, preaching to his people in St. Peter''s, he said:[180]"Where, I pray you, is any delight to be found in this world? |
29268 | Should I be well elected if I favoured the Eutycheans? |
29268 | Should we sin against Him? |
29268 | Then may we say,''Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding- place of the young lions?'' |
29268 | Thus, in his great letter[62] to all the Illyrian bishops, he asks:"Of what see was he bishop? |
29268 | Was it not of a church the suffragan of Heraclea? |
29268 | What did the Pope still possess in these populations? |
29268 | What excuse can we make who press down the people of God, over which we unworthily preside, with the burden of our sins? |
29268 | What is there in him blameworthy?'' |
29268 | What matters it whether it be a heathen or a so- called Christian who attempts to infringe the genuine tradition of the apostolic rule? |
29268 | What mortal could venture to decide which of the two great victories allowed by Gibbon to the Church is the greater? |
29268 | What pleasure, then, does life retain, my brethren? |
29268 | What result has all this but that, while we impose on men, we are made known to God? |
29268 | What was the answer which the eastern emperor made to this letter? |
29268 | What, you say, is the conduct of Acacius to me? |
29268 | Where is their pomp and pride, and those ecstasies of frequent transport? |
29268 | Who had made him first a patriarch and then ecumenical? |
29268 | Who is he who, in spite of the commands of the Gospel, in spite of the decrees of councils, presumes to usurp a new title for himself? |
29268 | Who preach with our tongues and kill by our examples? |
29268 | Who was to recover the Goth, the Vandal, the Burgundian, the Sueve, the Aleman, the Ruge, from that fatal error? |
29268 | Who was to restore it to them? |
29268 | Whose works teach iniquity, while their words make a show of justice? |
29268 | Why do not the bishops of the East agree?'' |
29268 | Why, in my person, do you break up the consent of the whole world? |
29268 | Will you plead before another judge? |
29268 | Will you stand by him as accuser? |
29268 | With what face will you ask of Him rewards_ there_ whose losses_ here_ you do not prevent? |
29268 | Would such a power not have repudiated his interference, had it not been convinced of an authority beyond its reach to deny? |
29268 | [ 215] What can a Pope claim more than the attribution to himself as Pope of the three great words of Christ spoken to Peter? |
29268 | if I held communion with the party of Acacius? |
29268 | or is the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ a kingdom divided against itself? |
29268 | where any longer a people? |
16700 | Certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics encountered him; and some said-- What will this babbler say? 16700 Despise you the wild beasts?" |
16700 | For what else,says the writer,"could cover our sins but His righteousness? |
16700 | King Agrippa,he exclaimed,"believest thou the prophets? |
16700 | Latuit aliquid Petrum aedificandae ecclesiae petram dictum? |
16700 | Need we,says he to the Corinthians,"epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? |
16700 | Petra haec.... Filius Dei est.... Quid est deinde haec turris? 16700 Then,"says the evangelist,"when Festus had conferred with the council, he answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? |
16700 | What other step,says a noble author,"remains to stand between those who held those principles and Rome? |
16700 | While one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye,says he,"not carnal? |
16700 | Again, in another Montanist tract, he says--"Qualis es, evertens atque commutans manifestam domini intentionem personaliter hoc Petro conferentem? |
16700 | And how worthy is this of a faith which expects to have its converts gathered from all parts to Christ? |
16700 | And what was the virtue of the ordination here described? |
16700 | And yet, how could the crisis be averted? |
16700 | But he withstood them, saying--''Why, what evil am I doing in glorifying Christ?'' |
16700 | But what was meanwhile the real condition of the Church? |
16700 | But who, it may be asked, were Zosimus and Rufus here mentioned as fellow- sufferers with Ignatius? |
16700 | Can any man, who adopts the views of Dr Cureton, fairly answer such an inquiry? |
16700 | Could we desire clearer proof that Polycarp must here be speaking of another Ignatius, and another correspondence? |
16700 | Could we desire more convincing proof that he had never heard of the Ignatian correspondence? |
16700 | Did it furnish Paul and Barnabas with a title to the ministry? |
16700 | Did it necessarily add anything to the eloquence, or the prudence, or the knowledge, or the piety, of the missionaries? |
16700 | Did it not proclaim, trumpet- tongued, that He would surely punish their persecutors? |
16700 | Did not the earthquake indicate that He, whom the apostles served, was able to save and to destroy? |
16700 | Does he pretend to assert that the appearance of parents, as sponsors for their children, is an ecclesiastical innovation? |
16700 | Does he venture to say that it is contradicted by any other Scripture testimony? |
16700 | For what necessity is there that the sponsors be brought into danger? |
16700 | For what now could be more evident than that the apostles were the servants of the Most High God? |
16700 | For who is not incited by the contemplation of it to inquire what there is in the core of the matter? |
16700 | Had Pius believed that Justus had a divine right to rule over the presbyters, would he have tendered such an admonition? |
16700 | Having produced authorities from Paul and Peter, he exclaims--"Do the testimonies of such men seem small to you? |
16700 | How are we to account for the extraordinary circumstance that the Church of Rome can produce no copy of it in either Greek or Latin? |
16700 | How could a deputation from Philadelphia meet Ignatius in Troas, as some allege they did, if he did not stop a considerable time there? |
16700 | How could heresy be most effectually discountenanced? |
16700 | How could it contend most successfully against its subtle and restless disturbers? |
16700 | How could its unity be best conserved? |
16700 | How could the unity of the Church be best maintained? |
16700 | How did the friends of the Church proceed to grapple with these difficulties? |
16700 | How do they happen to possess the name they bear? |
16700 | How was the Church to be kept from going to pieces? |
16700 | How was the vacant place to be supplied? |
16700 | If a stranger brother come to her, what lodging in an alien''s house? |
16700 | In whom was it a possible that we, the lawless and the unholy, could be justified, save by the Son of God alone? |
16700 | Is Achaia near to you? |
16700 | Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? |
16700 | Is it probable that a man of the mature faith and large experience of Ignatius would have thus addressed so youthful a minister? |
16700 | It might now be asked with no small amount of plausibility-- Is the presiding presbyter to have no special privileges? |
16700 | Men proceed more cautiously in worldly things; and he that is not trusted with earthly goods, why should he be trusted with divine? |
16700 | Now, therefore,_ why tempt ye God_, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers, nor we, were able to bear?" |
16700 | Some of the works of this writer have perished, and his only extant productions are a discourse entitled"What rich man shall be saved?" |
16700 | The wise men manifestly expected to see a_ newly born_ infant, and hence they asked--"where is he that_ is born_ King of the Jews?" |
16700 | Was an individual, who was himself not much advanced beyond boyhood, the most fitting person to give advice as to these matrimonial engagements? |
16700 | Was it extraordinary that individuals who were supposed to be entrusted with such tremendous influence soon began to be regarded with awful reverence? |
16700 | Was the senior presbyter, no matter how ill adapted for the crisis, to be allowed to take quiet possession? |
16700 | Was there love without dissimulation, and the keeping of the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace? |
16700 | Well might the Pharisees be perplexed by the inquiry--"How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles?" |
16700 | Were not these children baptized? |
16700 | What are we to understand by"the quietness of God?" |
16700 | What could be expected from those who honoured such deities? |
16700 | What then was its meaning? |
16700 | What then? |
16700 | What way shall we find to extricate ourselves out of this labyrinth?" |
16700 | What, then, can these angels be? |
16700 | When Paul asks the Corinthians--"How say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?" |
16700 | Where did he gather all this recondite lore? |
16700 | Who can tell how"the three mysteries of the shout"were"done by means of the star?" |
16700 | Who could believe that the bishop of Carthage held exactly the same official rank as every one of his episcopal auditors? |
16700 | Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? |
16700 | Why are they gathered into the right hand of the Son of Man? |
16700 | Why should a letter from London to New York travel round by Palestine? |
16700 | Why should she have permitted it to be supplanted by an interpolated document? |
16700 | Why should their innocent age make haste to the remission of sins? |
16700 | With how much more truth do dumb animals, such as mice, swallows, and kites, judge of your gods? |
16700 | [ 144:2]"But what,"observes a modern writer,"are the soundings at this point? |
16700 | [ 401:2] But who can believe that Irenaeus describes Ignatius, when he speaks of"_ one of our people_?" |
16700 | [ 403:5] Is it at all probable that Polycarp, at the age of six and twenty, was in a position to warrant him to use such a style of address? |
16700 | [ 422:1] Well may the Christian reader exclaim, with indignation, as he peruses these words, Is the Holy Ghost then a mere rope? |
16700 | [ 423:1] Who can undertake to expound such jargon? |
16700 | [ 426:3] Do not all these circumstances combined supply abundant proof that these Epistles were written in the time of this Alexandrian father? |
16700 | [ 447:2]"Ubi fomenta fidei de scripturarum interjectione?" |
16700 | [ 476:1] It is to this arrangement that Tertullian refers when he says--"What necessity is there that_ the sponsors_ be brought into danger? |
16700 | [ 476:2] And how does Tertullian meet this argument? |
16700 | [ 490:2]"Nonne solemnior erit statio tua, si et ad aram Dei steteris?" |
16700 | [ 498:2]"Is not this the fast that I have chosen?" |
16700 | [ 519:3] May we not here distinctly recognize the close of one system, and the commencement of another? |
16700 | [ 520:2] What explanation can be given of this awkward circumstance? |
16700 | [ 545:2] How are we to account for this interregnum? |
16700 | [ 557:4] Why has it then been mentioned as an exhibition of the episcopal humility of Anicetus? |
16700 | [ 649:1]"Some indeed,"says Paul,"preach Christ even of envy and strife, and some also of good- will.... What then? |
16700 | [ 649:4]"When the Novatians say--''Dost thou believe remission of sins and eternal life by the Holy Church?'' |
16700 | and who, that has inquired, does not join us? |
16700 | and who, that joins us, does not long to suffer?" |
16700 | saith the Lord,"to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? |
16700 | when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? |
22371 | But,you say,"there is also confusion to be seen,--what does that signify?" |
22371 | Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? 22371 Can virtue be taught?" |
22371 | Love God and man; what higher rule can there be? |
22371 | Say not, Who shall ascend into heaven to bring him down, or who shall descend into hell to bring him up? 22371 The unjust man has the advantage,--in what? |
22371 | What art thou, then? 22371 Will,"--nay, is he not here with us now? |
22371 | Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? 22371 You dare to believe that even I in my mightiness am set to help you to be good? |
22371 | You want to be good? |
22371 | A mother would convey to her little daughter some full sense of the motherly feeling that yearns within her, but how can it be done? |
22371 | Against all allurements of indolence, comfort, and social convention he presses the question, What is_ true_? |
22371 | And what is all beauty, all grandeur, but the manifestation, through the eye to the soul, of the one Supreme Being? |
22371 | And who knows where this dry, dead grass vanishes when the green blades fill all its room? |
22371 | Another man walks always in steady allegiance to conscience and right, and never has any rapturous emotions; is not he, too, the child of God? |
22371 | Are men worthy of love? |
22371 | Are not these the very presence of Deity? |
22371 | Are we baffled in our search for a divine plan in the universe? |
22371 | Being appointed to such a service, do I still care about the place in which I am, or with whom I am, or what men say about me? |
22371 | But do we know how fast races or families can improve if brought in contact with the most helpful influences of other races or families? |
22371 | But it may be asked, Does this attitude bring man face to face with a personal God? |
22371 | But what, meantime, is our disabled and secluded invalid to do? |
22371 | But who can love a Balance of Probabilities? |
22371 | By what road shall man attain his supreme desire,--how can he be good, and how can he be happy? |
22371 | Can our religion find no other emblem than the cross,--the instrument of torture? |
22371 | Comfort? |
22371 | Do not results with hardened convicts, with Indian and negro pupils, suggest that there may be an immense acceleration of moral progress? |
22371 | Do we say, But this does not comfort me, does not reassure me? |
22371 | Do you feel yourself alone and empty- hearted? |
22371 | Does any sense of bondage weigh you down? |
22371 | For what is a greater storm than that which comes from appearances which are violent and drive away the reason?" |
22371 | From this slough of despond he is lifted-- how? |
22371 | Has that experiment ever been fairly tried? |
22371 | He first propounds in clearness the most important question of humanity,--how shall man by reason and by will become master of life? |
22371 | He has had his hours of clear vision and high resolve,--why have they borne such poor fruit in his actual life? |
22371 | How are they related to the terms of the old religion? |
22371 | How can one love such a scattered, immense, diversified thing as this you describe to me?" |
22371 | How does that Divine Power appear in the procedure of the universe? |
22371 | How escape the thought that he and all mankind are but playthings in the grasp of cruel and ironic fate? |
22371 | How shall we make men good? |
22371 | If an oak- tree takes a century to get its growth, shall a man expect to win his crown in a day? |
22371 | If one asks, How shall I gain faith in God and hope of immortality? |
22371 | If we ask,"But may life be saved by fidelity?" |
22371 | Is he not more real to our thought and love than ever before? |
22371 | Is it a proposition to be believed about some being throned above my sight? |
22371 | Is it the entire absence of any outlook beyond this life which makes the gloom of the later works? |
22371 | Is it the individuality, or that higher power of which it transmits a ray? |
22371 | Is it wisdom, or statesmanship, or executive power? |
22371 | Is man then free, or is he the passive creature of a greater power, and of what nature is that power? |
22371 | Let us look nearer home; can we not find the clew to a divine plan in our own lives? |
22371 | Look, vain man, at my works; consider the war- horse, the behemoth, the leviathan; how can your petty mind judge the creator of these? |
22371 | Mankind has pondered long the lesson of sorrow: dare it enter the whole inheritance of sonship, and taste the fullness of joy? |
22371 | May we not hope that wickedness, in the broad survey of mankind''s upward progress, is the stumbling of a child over its alphabet? |
22371 | Or was Christ''s death simply the transfer of a debt on the books of divine justice? |
22371 | Purity,--who has not felt its hallowing regard fall upon him from the eyes of maid and matron? |
22371 | Shall I give my first- born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? |
22371 | Shall the dead arise and praise thee? |
22371 | Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? |
22371 | Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? |
22371 | So I am told: how shall I interpret it in my experience? |
22371 | So Micah speaks:"Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with yearling calves? |
22371 | Spencer, who has been the most successful in generalizing the new knowledge, comes back to the inquiry, By what law shall man guide his own conduct? |
22371 | Suppose that were to happen? |
22371 | That keynote is given in this truth: that there is no moment so dull or so hard but one can ask himself, What is the best the situation allows? |
22371 | The church of God,--but has man a God? |
22371 | The human mind confronts the question,"Are my dearest faith and love and hope based on reality?" |
22371 | The moral idea is thus reaffirmed and extended, but how can man attain that ideal? |
22371 | The question presents itself to man:"Is the Power that rules the universe friendly to me?" |
22371 | The sacraments, again, what was their precise nature? |
22371 | They did not attempt any complete records of his earthly life,--what need of that, when the life was so soon to be resumed? |
22371 | They saw and felt the incongruities of the world as a moral administration, and sometimes pressed the inquiry, as in Job,_ Why_ does Yahveh thus? |
22371 | To bear trouble together, and for each other''s sake to rise above it,--what knits hearts together like that? |
22371 | Twenty years of quiet follow; great events are impending, eloquent men are rousing and leading; what is there for this silent Virginian? |
22371 | Was that the end of it all? |
22371 | We may recall the piercing question of Socrates,"Can virtue be taught?" |
22371 | What better name can we give it? |
22371 | What does the dog think of it all? |
22371 | What is the actual destiny of those human lives which show only frustration and failure? |
22371 | What meaning can any mortal, after all, attach to them in reference to such an object?" |
22371 | What need of a supernatural religion to a man who finds religion in his own nature and in the nature of the world? |
22371 | What new interpretations has this century seen of the personal ideal? |
22371 | What new light does the evolutionary philosophy throw on man''s chief problem, the right conduct of his own life? |
22371 | What real providence is there for the slain sparrow? |
22371 | What relation do they bear to the life which is within our command,--to our deliberate, purposeful, self- ordered life? |
22371 | What says the heart of man at its highest? |
22371 | What symbol could he have used more intelligible? |
22371 | What, then, does the world most need of us? |
22371 | Whatever comes? |
22371 | When a good wife sees her husband unfortunate and out of work, what is it that she most dreads? |
22371 | When the last hour of life comes, what retrospect shall we wish? |
22371 | Where is the righteousness of God? |
22371 | Where, asks the stricken heart, shall I find the God of comfort? |
22371 | Who can feel the hand of such a deity as that when his hand gropes for support in face of temptation, disaster, heartbreak? |
22371 | Who ever sees these last oak leaves fall? |
22371 | Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
22371 | Why, then, did Stoic philosophy fail of more wide or lasting success among mankind? |
22371 | Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? |
22371 | Would we know something of the Divine Mother- heart? |
22371 | Yet, what does Dante show as the actuality of the world after thirteen centuries of Christianity? |
22371 | You say,"We see ugliness as well as beauty,--what does that mean?" |
22371 | You say,"We see wickedness,--what of that?" |
22371 | _ What_ do I love in the friend whom here I see? |
22371 | and do I not entirely direct my thoughts to God, and to his instructions and commands?" |
22371 | and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?" |
22371 | more universally coming home? |
22371 | or thy faithfulness in destruction? |
18486 | ''O God,''I cried,''why may I not forget? 18486 But,"you say to yourself,"there''s danger of going to extremes here, is there not?" |
18486 | Do you want to be a Christian? |
18486 | Lovest thou Me? |
18486 | Lovest thou Me? |
18486 | Unclean lips,is it? |
18486 | ''Lord, whence are those blood- drops all the way That mark out the mountain''s track?'' |
18486 | A big"if"you say? |
18486 | Am I their keeper? |
18486 | And then a questioning arose: was some one perhaps looking at me? |
18486 | And what is luxury? |
18486 | Badly? |
18486 | But the leaders are few; and what could they do without the great mass of followers? |
18486 | But was he brokenhearted over them? |
18486 | But was there more than this? |
18486 | But, some one says, how can we really follow this Lone Man, our Lord Jesus Christ? |
18486 | Could it be that He saw some lingering trace of the Father''s face in these faces? |
18486 | Could n''t they do_ any_thing? |
18486 | Could there be a greater evidence of the power of this Holy Spirit than to do such a thing with such as we know ourselves to be? |
18486 | Could there be anything to make clearer His hunger for the human touch? |
18486 | Did Peter take in the meaning that day? |
18486 | Do you hear it? |
18486 | Do you know about this sort of thing? |
18486 | Do you know about this? |
18486 | Do you love? |
18486 | Do you remember that other young Jewish, university- trained aristocrat? |
18486 | Do you remember that time when our Lord Jesus associated Himself so closely with just such men and women, in talking of a coming day? |
18486 | Do you remember when the Greeks came to Philip with their great plea,"Sir, we would see Jesus"? |
18486 | Do you think so? |
18486 | Does that mean that there is much earnest service that we have not been told to do? |
18486 | Does the crowd get hold of your heart as you elbow your way through them, or look down into their faces? |
18486 | Does this make all the stronger His sympathy with us in our upper reach out of such things? |
18486 | Has that image ever been wholly lost?--terribly blurred and scarred by sin, yes; but wholly lost? |
18486 | Have I? |
18486 | Have we done what we could? |
18486 | Have you ever noticed the picture in the word"follow"? |
18486 | Have you ever tramped to"Georgy"? |
18486 | Have you ever wondered what there was in those common crowds to attract our Lord Jesus? |
18486 | Have you ever worn the"Georgy"shoes? |
18486 | Have you ever_ seen Christ_? |
18486 | Have you noticed how much the current of the stream will do for you if you are out in a row- boat? |
18486 | Have you noticed the significance of that word"abide"which our Lord used on the night of His betrayal? |
18486 | Have you?" |
18486 | Have you_ seen Christ_? |
18486 | Have_ you_ seen Christ? |
18486 | He seems interested in them, and calls out familiarily,"Have you caught anything?" |
18486 | He went to a great extreme on the cross, did He not? |
18486 | His_ face_; torn? |
18486 | His_ friend_,--do you get hold of that word? |
18486 | How about you and me when it comes to the knife, with its sharp cutting edge, and slash and sting? |
18486 | How can it be said, with any soberness of practical meaning, that He is in need, and in desperate need? |
18486 | How can we really follow? |
18486 | How do you define those two words? |
18486 | How much would it mean to Him if your signature at the bottom of legal papers put some property at His disposal? |
18486 | How shall I trust myself to speak of that morrow, or you to listen? |
18486 | How shall we know this filling, do you ask? |
18486 | I can hardly take it in,--His_ friend_? |
18486 | I still feel the pathos of face and voice as the dear old mother, and the gentle wife, asked so eagerly,"When will he be back?" |
18486 | Is it a bit of an innate instinct in our common human nature, that only through sacrifice can the hurt of life be healed? |
18486 | Is it a picture of your road? |
18486 | Is it any wonder the people came astonished to know what this meant? |
18486 | Is it just a crowd to you? |
18486 | Is it possible? |
18486 | Is there any extreme like that of Gethsemane? |
18486 | Is there any world quite like it, except indeed it be the slums of our western world cities, European and American? |
18486 | Is there perfect music without the underchording of the minor? |
18486 | Is this the meaning-- one meaning-- of"blessed are the pure in heart for they shall_ see God_"? |
18486 | Is your religion_ livable_? |
18486 | It was out of a breaking heart that the cry was wrung,"My God, My God, why didst_ Thou_ forsake Me?" |
18486 | Just what is meant by_ a clear vision?_ I could say at once that it means a vision of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
18486 | May I tell you a little bit about it? |
18486 | Only I? |
18486 | Or is it a great company of hungry hearts, half- starved lives, so needy for what only this Lord Jesus can give? |
18486 | Or, shall we join the company at the half- way stopping place? |
18486 | Shall I say, men and the Holy Spirit? |
18486 | Shall We Go? |
18486 | Shall we go on_ all the way_? |
18486 | Shall we go, too? |
18486 | Shall we go? |
18486 | Shall we take a look at that face? |
18486 | Shall we take a moment more to look at these three finger- posts a little more closely? |
18486 | Take a look through your wardrobe; who and what controls there? |
18486 | The Hilltops V. Shall We Go? |
18486 | The Japanese was saying,"Oh, yes, I believe all that as a theory, but is there_ power_ to make a man_ live_ it?" |
18486 | The second great factor in carrying out what He began is-- how shall I put it? |
18486 | Their dazed eyes show that they think they could not have heard aright,--He to_ suffer!_ What could this mean? |
18486 | To bear This constant burden of their grief and care? |
18486 | Was he utterly broken down with grief as he led them to the little running brook of Kishon for the nation''s sake? |
18486 | Was it as though the Father''s face cried out to Him out of these poor beaten faces? |
18486 | Was that the first time the spell of a crowd began to get its subtle heart- hold on Peter as he looked into their hungry eyes? |
18486 | Was there ever such a meeting of sin and purity, of love and hate, of God''s best and Satan''s worst? |
18486 | Was there ever such love? |
18486 | Was there ever such sin? |
18486 | Was this the dead- level, monotonous stretch of the road, from the time of the early teens on to the full maturity of thirty? |
18486 | Well, let any thorns tear because of the narrowing of the road; I''m His friend, man, do you hear? |
18486 | Well, then just what do I mean practically? |
18486 | What Is Sacrifice? |
18486 | What could He mean? |
18486 | What is in those safety- deposit boxes? |
18486 | What is necessity? |
18486 | What kind of a house do you live in? |
18486 | What proportion of your income do you spend on yourself? |
18486 | What was there to attract the Lord Jesus to these crowds? |
18486 | Where do you draw the deciding line between necessity and luxury? |
18486 | Where does the true dividing line come in? |
18486 | Which makes stiffer climbing? |
18486 | Who built that fire? |
18486 | Who can withstand the great appeal of the crowd''s eyes? |
18486 | Who cooked that fish? |
18486 | Who was thinking about them and caring for their personal needs, when they were so tired and hungry? |
18486 | Why is it? |
18486 | Why must I suffer for the others''sin? |
18486 | With us character is a result of choice, and then nearly always-- or should I cut out that"nearly"? |
18486 | Would God lead us into temptation? |
18486 | Would any man have enjoyed home- life with all the rare home- joys, the sweetest of all natural joys, so much as He? |
18486 | Would it not be better if we were to count the cost, and then_ deliberately_ decide? |
18486 | You say,"I''m not just sure,"or"How can I know?" |
18486 | [ 21] And at last God said to Himself,"What more can I do? |
18486 | _ This_--has there come to you a real sense of Himself? |
18486 | _ We----"?_ Poor, self- confident Peter! |
18486 | a long look? |
18486 | and Calvary? |
18486 | and if it be to follow, then follow_ all the way?_ I want to talk a little later about what it means to follow. |
18486 | of His presence? |
18486 | of the tremendous plea His presence makes? |
18486 | yes; scarred? |
14867 | Does the perfect Buddha live on beyond death, or does he not? 14867 I cannot-- will not fight,"he says;"I seek not victory, I seek no kingdom; what shall we do with regal pomp and power? |
14867 | Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you? |
14867 | Now, that which is created,he adds,"must of necessity be created by some cause-- but how can we find out the Father and maker of all this universe? |
14867 | [ 26] There is a deep pathos in the question which I have just quoted,How can we find out the Father and maker of all this universe?" |
14867 | ''Is Buddhism really older than Christianity, and does it really contain many things which are found in the Bible?''" |
14867 | ''Is it really true?'' |
14867 | ''Why did you not tell us all this before? |
14867 | ... Did humanity begin with a coarse fetishism, and thence rise by slow degrees to higher conceptions? |
14867 | Again, the question arises, How can responsibility be transferred from one to another? |
14867 | And how are we to account for their striking similarities? |
14867 | Are not we sons of the mighty Duryodani? |
14867 | But are they? |
14867 | But does conversion mean the same, or anything like the same, thing in each? |
14867 | But how shall the false systems of religions be studied? |
14867 | But the question may be asked,"Do we not admit a similar principle when we speak of a man''s influence as something that survives him?" |
14867 | But what is the evidence found in the legends themselves? |
14867 | But what is the testimony of the great dead religions of the past with respect to a primitive monotheism? |
14867 | But who knows whence his blessings come to him? |
14867 | But_ how_ have these conquests in Central Africa been made? |
14867 | Do the traces of a comparatively pure monotheism first show themselves in the recent periods of idolatry? |
14867 | Do they appear to have risen from polytheism toward simpler and more spiritual forms, or have simple forms been ramified into polytheism? |
14867 | Dost Thou only care for men? |
14867 | Even if change were possible, therefore, how shall the old score be settled? |
14867 | For what else have many excellent members of our faith done? |
14867 | Good men are asking,"Is not such a study a waste of energy, when we are charged with proclaiming the only saving truth? |
14867 | Have they shown an upward or a downward development? |
14867 | Have we forgotten our Rama and Arjun, Yudistar or Bishma or Drona the Wise? |
14867 | How can he be a lover of truth, which is God, if he knows not his beloved under such a disguise? |
14867 | How can there be reconciliation to God, then, without repentance and humiliation? |
14867 | How can we attain unto them? |
14867 | How could Buddhism grow out of such a soil and finally cast its spell over so many peoples? |
14867 | How did the early Church succeed in its great conquest? |
14867 | How is it with the authenticity of Buddhist literature? |
14867 | How is the young missionary, who knows nothing of their systems or the real points of comparison, to deal with such men? |
14867 | How much may we expect to prove from the early history of the non- Christian systems? |
14867 | How shall we account for the similarities above indicated, except on the supposition of a common and a very ancient source? |
14867 | How shall we explain that career? |
14867 | How then did they succeed? |
14867 | How was it that Islam gained its conquests, and what is the secret of that dominion which it still holds? |
14867 | How was such a man to be met? |
14867 | How will the mere philosopher explain this wonderful power of personality over men of all races, if it be not Divine? |
14867 | How, then, shall we draw the line between history and legend? |
14867 | If Krishna is within and without, what is the use of austerities? |
14867 | If Krishna is_ not_ within and without, what is the use of austerities? |
14867 | If Krishna is_ not_ worshipped, what is the use of austerities? |
14867 | In the old churches of the East or on the Continent of Europe, how much of virtual idolatry is there even now? |
14867 | In the receptacle of what was it contained? |
14867 | Is it any wonder that such persons have a warm side toward Buddhism? |
14867 | Is it_ in pari materia_, and if not, is the comparison worth the paper on which it is written? |
14867 | Is not downright earnestness better than any possible knowledge of philosophies and superstitions?" |
14867 | May there not, after all, be danger in the study of false systems? |
14867 | May we not believe that the ideas here expressed had always existed in the minds of the more devout rulers of the empire? |
14867 | Men had begun to ask themselves the great questions of human life and destiny,"Whence am I? |
14867 | Mr. Goldwin Smith, in an able article published in the_ Forum_ of April, 1891, on the question,"Will Morality Survive Faith?" |
14867 | No man sings there,''Shall not my soul be submitted unto God? |
14867 | O Almighty One, hast Thou not power to make us other than we are, that we too may have some part in the blessings of life?" |
14867 | Of what value can heathen asceticism and merit- making be while the heart is still barred and buttressed with self- righteousness? |
14867 | Or Lactantius, or Victorinus, Optatus, Hilary, not to speak of the living, and Greeks innumerable? |
14867 | See we not how richly laden with gold and silver and apparel that most persuasive teacher and most blessed martyr, Cyprian, departed out of Egypt? |
14867 | Stop, O Brahman; why do you engage in austerities? |
14867 | The Bhagavad Gita and the Gospel both enjoin the brotherhood of men, but what are the meanings which they give to this term? |
14867 | The eating of bread is in conformity with the ordinance of God; can one forget that his blessing rests thereupon?... |
14867 | The question"Are ye not of more value than many sparrows?" |
14867 | The question, What is Nirvana? |
14867 | The real question is, what was the_ drift_ of the prophet''s character? |
14867 | Then follow other questions:''Does Buddhism really count more believers than any other religion?'' |
14867 | There is recognized no future intervention that can effect a change in the downward drift, and why should a thousand existences prove better than one? |
14867 | Was it enveloped in the gulph profound of water? |
14867 | What are the lessons of the various ethnic traditions? |
14867 | What are their aims, respectively? |
14867 | What could be more horrible than the story just brought down by the messengers who were with Major Festing? |
14867 | What could have produced them? |
14867 | What has become of the tens of thousands of peaceful agriculturists, their wives and their innocent children? |
14867 | What help, what rescue can mere infinitude of time afford, though the transmigrations should number tens of thousands? |
14867 | What human skill could have depicted a character which no ideal of our best modern culture can equal? |
14867 | What is the relation between these two currents? |
14867 | What is this mysterious being of which I am conscious?" |
14867 | What methods were adopted, and with what measures of success? |
14867 | What then enshrouded all the teeming universe? |
14867 | What was the influence of his professed principles on his own life? |
14867 | What were the elements of power which enabled the great sage of China to rear a social and political fabric which has survived for so many centuries? |
14867 | What, then, is Kharma? |
14867 | Where can we point to so easy a conquest as that of Patrick in Ireland, or that of the Monks of Iona among the Picts and Scots? |
14867 | Where did Shankar and great Dayananda arise? |
14867 | Where do violence, meanness, and deception gradually beam forth into benevolence and truth? |
14867 | Where is the system in which such an incident and such a lesson would not be wholly out of place? |
14867 | Wherein, then, consists the unique supremacy of the Christian faith? |
14867 | Who shall change the leopard''s spots or deflect the fatal drift of a human soul? |
14867 | Who would think of quoting"Paradise Lost"in any sober comparison of Biblical truth with the teachings of other religions? |
14867 | Will there not be found perplexing parallels which will shake our trust in the positive and exclusive supremacy of the Christian faith? |
14867 | Without a Daysman how shall we bridge the abyss that lies between? |
14867 | Yet where in all the wide waste of heathen faiths or philosophies is there anything which even remotely resembles the story of the Prodigal? |
14867 | or has perchance some other God made us? |
14867 | what with enjoyments, or with life itself, when we have slaughtered all our kindred here?" |
12799 | But will you mark keenly that the teaching of Jesus Himself was that His return depended on His followers''doing a certain thing? 12799 May I speak very softly of another side of this knocking at our door? |
12799 | Do you play cards? |
12799 | Forenoon, afternoon, and night, Forenoon, afternoon, and night, Forenoon, afternoon, and what? 12799 How much money do you place at my disposal?" |
12799 | No; why? |
12799 | Why? 12799 Wo n''t You Save Me?" |
12799 | ''And I''ve been so tired- like at night, I could n''t think to pray, And now, when I see the Lord Jesus, What ever am I to say?'' |
12799 | < i> Foreign-mission field? |
12799 | < i> Foreign-mission lands, would you call them? |
12799 | < i> Shall we do it, hand in hand with Jesus, the only Saviour? |
12799 | < i> Who is it that is knocking? |
12799 | < i> Why did n''t your father come and tell my father? |
12799 | < u> Giving God Free Use of Ourselves. Now the great question every earnest man asks himself is, How can I be of most use to God and my fellows? |
12799 | < u> Jesus''World- passion. Have you not marked< i> the world- wide swing of Jesus''thought and plan? |
12799 | < u> Living Messages of Jesus. Now, what is it that these people need, and that we can give to them? |
12799 | < u> Make it a Story. Now, how shall we best tell men of Jesus? |
12799 | < u> Mother- love. Now of these sorts and degrees which is the highest and finest? |
12799 | < u> Returning Our Call. Will you please remember that their knocking at our door is a direct result of our knocking at their door? |
12799 | < u> The Love Passion. What is this greatest of passions called love? |
12799 | < u> The Oratorio of Victory. Have you ever noticed the Oratorio of Revelation? |
12799 | < u>"Won''t You Save Me? |
12799 | After a bit she said-- woman is always the keener--"Why do n''t you sleep?" |
12799 | And I heard Him say to Judas, so kindly,"Betrayest thou the Master with a kiss?" |
12799 | And has any other book stuck into people''s memories and hearts with such burr- like hold as it has? |
12799 | And he said softly,"How did you know I was n''t sleeping? |
12799 | And he said softly,"Why do n''t< i> you eat?" |
12799 | And of our good old Anglo- Saxon Bible? |
12799 | And still the pleading,"''Then is it nothing to thee? |
12799 | And the mother said quietly,"Are n''t you going to bed?" |
12799 | And the mother said,"Why do n''t you eat?" |
12799 | And the next day Peter turned again to Paul and said,''Would n''t you like to take another walk to- day?'' |
12799 | And two men dressed in white dropped down by our sides and stood there and said:"Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing into heaven? |
12799 | And what is it they are singing? |
12799 | And what words can be used strong enough in speaking of the blessed work of medical men in foreign- mission lands? |
12799 | Are We True to Our Friend''s Trust? |
12799 | Are we being true to our Friend''s trust? |
12799 | Are we growing ourselves into bigger- sized, finer- grained, better- controlled men and women daily? |
12799 | Aye,< i> Who? |
12799 | But is that all? |
12799 | But many ask, how can we be watching when it''s been two thousand years since He told us to watch, and the event seems as far off as ever? |
12799 | But may I tell you now plainly that it wo n''t be an easy thing? |
12799 | But one man, an earnest, godly old minister said,"How can you be looking expectantly for a< i> thousand years? |
12799 | But-- but what is it they are after? |
12799 | Can we do better? |
12799 | Can you see the water- mark plainly imprinted there? |
12799 | Could there be a more sensible way? |
12799 | Could there be greater evidence, by contrast, of the drawing power of His purity and goodness and steadfast devotion to His mission? |
12799 | Do n''t they know that out in common daily life the knife of sacrifice is held across the path constantly, sharp edge out, barring the way? |
12799 | Do they forget that this is the language of the common people? |
12799 | Do you believe Peter had Paul as his guest and did n''t take him to Gethsemane, did n''t take him to Calvary and Mount Olivet? |
12799 | Do you hear them? |
12799 | Do you know, I think that is the best picture of God I have ever run across in any gallery of life? |
12799 | Do you not know how as you go about your ordinary round there is a constant undercurrent of thought? |
12799 | Do you remember Jesus''words in Matthew, chapter twenty- five? |
12799 | Do you remember the famous reply, often quoted, given to a foreign visitor at the English court? |
12799 | Does anything happen< i> at the other end? Does my prayer do anything in Hang- chow? |
12799 | Does anything take place in Pittsburg or in Hang- chow that would n''t have taken place if I had n''t prayed? |
12799 | Has anybody ever yet used as blunt homely, talk as this old Book uses? |
12799 | Have I? |
12799 | Have we done what we could? |
12799 | Have you ever looked into a single drop of water and seen the sun? |
12799 | Have you ever noticed God''s water- mark on the paper of this first leaf of His Book? |
12799 | Have you?" |
12799 | He could n''t save both;--which? |
12799 | He was asked,"If God loves you, why does n''t He take better care of you? |
12799 | He was asked:"Do you drink whiskey?" |
12799 | How many times have the missionaries been obliged to listen to the question, which is a reproach rather than a question,"Why did n''t you come before? |
12799 | How much owest< i> thou to thy Lord? |
12799 | How shall we talk best about God so as to get clear, sensible ideas about Him? |
12799 | Hungry, should feed, Or stranger, lodge thee here? |
12799 | Indeed, how else could man understand? |
12799 | Instantly, as the question was asked, he looked up with surprised eyes, and said,"Do n''t you know where Elkhart is? |
12799 | Is Judas so lonely, after all? |
12799 | Is he so much alone? |
12799 | Is it partly because our daily round is so narrow and small? |
12799 | Is there any discoloration on our gold? |
12799 | Is there more stored away for ourselves than is being sent out on His errand? |
12799 | It has been saying,"Is n''t this going a bit too far? |
12799 | Just then a little sweet- faced girl in the crowd touched his hand, and looked up beseechingly into his face, and said,"Wo n''t you please save me? |
12799 | May I call your attention to some of the louder of these knockings? |
12799 | May I first remind you what they do n''t need? |
12799 | Now, you ministers, do n''t you believe the people want preaching like that? |
12799 | Oh, shall unworthy gifts once more be thrown Into His treasury-- by whose death we live? |
12799 | Or had--? |
12799 | Or shall we now embrace His cross, and give Ourselves, and all we have, to him alone?" |
12799 | See that hole right there? |
12799 | Shall I say that that plan has failed? |
12799 | Shall we not make plans at once to increase our foreign correspondence? |
12799 | Shall we< i> not do it? |
12799 | Some of you may be strongly inclined to lift your eyebrows and ask-- Is there really any such emergency? |
12799 | The Master''s Plan Will the World Be Won? |
12799 | The greatest question for the Church to- day is-- shall we enter the open door? |
12799 | The one test question He makes for all is this-- What did you do for these hungry people? |
12799 | Then Mr. Moody said,"My friends, I want to ask you this question: Do you believe that picture is overdrawn? |
12799 | Then the next question asked itself: How much of this foreign business are we doing? |
12799 | Was there ever such a knocking at the door of the Christian Church as this? |
12799 | We have indeed waked them up, but-- to what? |
12799 | What art thou indeed That I should heed Thy lamentable need? |
12799 | What is the finest and highest love that we know? |
12799 | What is the matter?" |
12799 | What of the cold world''s scorning? |
12799 | What would he do? |
12799 | When the pilot was taken on board, he cried abruptly to the captain,"What do you mean? |
12799 | When they met he said:"Is your son sick?" |
12799 | Where shall we start in? |
12799 | Which will get the patient? |
12799 | Which? |
12799 | Who is it knocking at our door so loudly to- day? |
12799 | Who is this that calls? |
12799 | Who knows? |
12799 | Who''s There? |
12799 | Why disturb them? |
12799 | Why do n''t you sleep?" |
12799 | Why does n''t He tell some one to send you warm shoes and some coal and better food?" |
12799 | Why is it? |
12799 | Why not follow the rule of the old Bible? |
12799 | Why were you such a fool as to get in there? |
12799 | Will you kindly come up nearer in spirit, as we close our talk together, and let me ask softly: Have we given the free use of ourselves to the Master? |
12799 | Will you mark very keenly why they went to< i> Japan? |
12799 | Wo n''t you, please?" |
12799 | Wo n''t< i> you?" |
12799 | Would the prayer as really do something as the letter and the draft? |
12799 | You remember, that last week, the request of the Greeks for an interview? |
12799 | no more? |
12799 | or< i> home-mission? |
12799 | shall I not be let Alone, that thou dost vex me yet? |
12799 | the whole of that brilliant ball of fire there in one tiny drop of water? |
12799 | will the whole world be won?" |
14996 | And the second command? |
14996 | And the third command? |
14996 | But is there not some doubt in the matter? |
14996 | By thinking things out, and asking the question, Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
14996 | Can the City of God be established without some powerful impulse of the human heart? 14996 Did he really sit down and choose, or did he only toss up?" |
14996 | How can we hope to get a true system of education from politics? |
14996 | Is there any atmosphere more degrading? 14996 No man can serve two masters"--is not that the teaching of the modern hypnotist in dealing with"a divided self"? |
14996 | Set your affections on things above--is not that the counsel of the sane psycho- analyst in treating a diseased mind? |
14996 | What are we to do? |
14996 | What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 14996 Why seek ye the living among the dead?" |
14996 | A friend of mine once asked him,"Are you a Christian or a Neoplatonist?" |
14996 | A great industrial upheaval, for example, where would that land him? |
14996 | Already in France and Germany the question is asked, Did Jesus institute any sacraments at all? |
14996 | Am I to remain outside the Church till then?" |
14996 | And here again, did he not break faith, and once more seek Truth outside its walls? |
14996 | And what had been His science of life, His reading of the riddle? |
14996 | And what is faith? |
14996 | And yet have we not outgrown anything of the kind? |
14996 | Anything may happen? |
14996 | Are we to set against such plain testimony the pessimistic agnosticism of a voluptuary like Omar Khayyám? |
14996 | But how are we to set out on this quest since"Science will not allow us a starting point at all"? |
14996 | But how should man be treated? |
14996 | But if it is self- will, he asks, how is it to be overcome? |
14996 | But is it not the same thing? |
14996 | But is there any heart in his devotion? |
14996 | But is this hypothesis, which is essential to science, to be left in the position of Mahomet''s coffin? |
14996 | But some will ask: What is the Unitarian Church doing to make these intelligent opinions prevail? |
14996 | But the question would remain, With what food is the flock to be fed? |
14996 | But when Father Knox looks in the glass does he not see its staring fallacy? |
14996 | But would it?" |
14996 | Can that ever be achieved by a disunited Christendom? |
14996 | Did Athanasius make it easier? |
14996 | Did he keep the Truth of his boyhood-- the Truth of his father''s church? |
14996 | Did he not go outside the fortress of Evangelicalism and seek for Truth in the fortress of Anglo- Catholicism? |
14996 | Did the Inquisition which condemned Galileo make it easier still? |
14996 | Do I love? |
14996 | Do I think? |
14996 | Do the Labour leaders hail him as a leader? |
14996 | Do the poor love him? |
14996 | Do what? |
14996 | Does he fail to see that this argument not merely explains but vindicates the rejection of Christ by the Jews? |
14996 | Does he, then, shut out the humble and the poor from the Kingdom of God? |
14996 | For, after all, is not the Christian challenged with an identical criticism by the champions of materialism? |
14996 | Has he found them? |
14996 | Has he reached strength at the centre, one wonders, by doing violence to any part of his moral being? |
14996 | He asks us, Is Truth something which we are ordered to keep, or something which we are ordered to find? |
14996 | He keeps his feet firmly on scientific ground, and asks, as a man of science asks, What is this? |
14996 | How did they reach that belief? |
14996 | How do we get it? |
14996 | How evil came does not matter: the question is, Why is it here? |
14996 | How is it that he has come to such a pass? |
14996 | How is it that he suggests to us no feeling of the relation of triumphant leadership, but rather the spirit of Napoleon on the retreat from Moscow? |
14996 | How is this dangerous condition of things to be remedied? |
14996 | If God is in the Church, why does n''t He do more for it, and so more for the world? |
14996 | If Truth is not something to be found, how is it that he is not still in the house of his fathers? |
14996 | In what way is he unpleasant? |
14996 | Is age to be a test of truth? |
14996 | Is devotion to a formula to count as an argument? |
14996 | Is it better here? |
14996 | Is it not a just claim, a Christian claim, that the social organisation should be based upon"moral principles"? |
14996 | Is it not because she has nothing to give, nothing to teach? |
14996 | Is it not possible that the day may come when a gigantic income will seem"ungentlemanly"? |
14996 | Is it not probable that he was driven from the field by Fear rather than summoned to the battlements by Love? |
14996 | Is it not to be investigated? |
14996 | Is it possible to give an answer to this question which will not open again the floodgates of controversy? |
14996 | Is it possible to understand such a perversion of mind? |
14996 | Is it to be a battle between tradition and tradition? |
14996 | Is our business holding the fort? |
14996 | Is there not here the opportunity of an evangel, the dawning of an immense hope on the world? |
14996 | May it not be said, too, that nothing is so disagreeable to a conservative mind as the fermentation induced by the leaven of a new idea? |
14996 | May it not be that the door has no key because it has no lock? |
14996 | Might he not perhaps say with another great man,"What must God be if He is pleased by things which simply displease His educated creatures?" |
14996 | Modernism will go on; but what will happen to Dr. Henson? |
14996 | Must there not be something akin to the evangelical enthusiasm of the last century, something of a revivalist nature? |
14996 | Need we wonder that Dr. Gore cries out despairingly for more discipline? |
14996 | Never mind whether He had founded this Church or that, what had He said? |
14996 | Now there is in our experience already one principle which does answer the question"Why?" |
14996 | Of an Anglican clergyman''s popularity I have heard it said,"Who could not fill a church with the help of the band of the Grenadier Guards?" |
14996 | Or is it looking for the Pole? |
14996 | Should I have thought of doing that? |
14996 | Someone once asked him which he would choose, a Black tyranny, or a Red? |
14996 | The claim is obviously courageous, the claim of a brave and noble man, but one wonders, Can it be made good? |
14996 | The modern world rightly asks of every opinion and idea presented to its judgment,"Is it true?" |
14996 | The very fact that one does not ask, How would he direct it? |
14996 | They were to have concluded the service with the hymn,"When wilt Thou save Thy people?" |
14996 | To whom did Christ entrust the key of this door? |
14996 | What am I to say to one who has the passion of Christian morality in his heart, but asks me whether these verbal statements of belief are essential? |
14996 | What can you expect from such people?" |
14996 | What do they accomplish? |
14996 | What do your people really believe in?" |
14996 | What does it mean? |
14996 | What had He said? |
14996 | What has he done? |
14996 | What has he ever done? |
14996 | What is it doing in the universe? |
14996 | What is it doing? |
14996 | What is it possible to think of him?" |
14996 | What is its part in the coherent system of all- things- together? |
14996 | What is the definition of a door? |
14996 | What is the reason for that failure? |
14996 | What is wrong with this generation? |
14996 | What is wrong with this generation? |
14996 | What logic, what magic of holiness, could destroy a false religion if tradition is sacrosanct and all innovation of the devil? |
14996 | What was the first command of our Risen Lord to the apostle Simon Peter?" |
14996 | What were those needs? |
14996 | What, I wonder, is his definition of that term, heathenism? |
14996 | What? |
14996 | When he varied his question, and asked,"What have you learnt from the war?" |
14996 | Who asks him to interfere with the lives of other people-- other people who are perfectly contented to go their own way? |
14996 | Why ca n''t he leave people alone? |
14996 | Why do we put up with it? |
14996 | Why is it she has so fatally lost the attention of mankind? |
14996 | Why is the Church so powerless? |
14996 | Will you help me?" |
14996 | Would any theologian have invented such an idea? |
14996 | Would you have thought of doing that? |
14996 | Yes; but did Dr. Gore make it harder than it need be? |
14996 | _ Why is there no problem of good?_ Note well, that"the problem of evil is always a problem in terms of purpose." |
14996 | and Why is this? |
14996 | and what are those movements of the time which call in his judgment for unpleasantness? |
14996 | is he not in truth asking, What is this thing''s purpose? |
14996 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
14996 | what are we to do?'' |
14996 | what then? |
14996 | you exclaim, were the Keys of Heaven and Hell entrusted to even those Popes who lived sinful lives and brought disgrace on the name of religion? |
45122 | A_ mere_ man? |
45122 | And how can we love what is totally different from ourselves? |
45122 | And if a name was wanted for that intimate relation between God and man, what better name was there than Father and Son? |
45122 | And if so, why should that love ever cease? |
45122 | And shall we find them again such as they left us? |
45122 | And where can we study the science of thought, that most wonderful instance of development, except in the languages and literatures of the past? |
45122 | And why should it be so different when the door opens, and we step out of this dark life into the bright room? |
45122 | And yet who will say that true Christianity, Christianity which is known by its fruits, is less vigorous now than it has ever been before? |
45122 | Are they not human too? |
45122 | Are we not altogether at the mercy of God? |
45122 | But can we prevent the light of the sun and the noises of the street from waking the happy child from his heavenly dreams? |
45122 | But how can we speak of these things except in metaphors? |
45122 | But what did he mean by soul? |
45122 | But what is the reason of this? |
45122 | Can we imagine a more powerful revelation? |
45122 | Can we say that of God''s love? |
45122 | Can we wish for more than what we are, lookers- on-- resisting what tries to crush us, call it force, or evil, or anything else? |
45122 | Does the Self take possession of a body because it lives, or does the body live because the Self has taken possession of it? |
45122 | Has our prosperity taught us to meet adversity when it comes? |
45122 | Has the Self which for a time dwells in a living body anything to do with what we call the life of that body? |
45122 | How are we to do justice to our ancestors except by letting them plead their own case in their own language? |
45122 | How it is in that larger world, who can say? |
45122 | How much more in the real presence of a real and really beloved God, as felt by the true mystic, not merely as a phrase, but as a fact? |
45122 | How then can we rely on it as an accurate picture of the thoughts of Moses and his contemporaries? |
45122 | How, where, when? |
45122 | If God is called holy, again we have to say No, for what can our conception of holiness be compared with the holiness of God? |
45122 | If people talk of the miseries of life, are they not all man''s work? |
45122 | If so, does the body die because the Self leaves it, or does the Self leave the body because it dies? |
45122 | If there is continuity in the world everywhere, why should there be a wrench and annihilation only with us? |
45122 | Is any kind of religion possible without an unquestioning trust in truth? |
45122 | Is it not all one? |
45122 | Is it not the same with the Beautiful? |
45122 | Is it nothing to know that there is a solid rock on which all religion, call it natural or supernatural, is founded? |
45122 | Is not a real fact that happened, in a world in which nothing can happen against the will of God, better than any miracle? |
45122 | Is not that also God''s will? |
45122 | Is that better than Christ''s own simple human language, I go to my Father? |
45122 | Is that nothing? |
45122 | Is there any one who loves us more than God? |
45122 | Is there anything among the works of God, anything next to God, more wonderful, more awful, more holy than man? |
45122 | It is all God''s work, and where is there a flaw in that wonder of all wonders, God''s ever- working work? |
45122 | It is true our hopes are human, but what are the doubts and difficulties? |
45122 | Look at the miserable conceptions which man made to himself as long as he spoke of gods beside God? |
45122 | Much rather should we ask, Was then Jesus a mere God? |
45122 | Nay, is it not our duty to wake the child, when the time has come that he must be up and doing, and take his share in the toils of the day? |
45122 | Need we wonder, therefore, that just those who wish to transfer only their highest to the Godhead begin to shrink from speaking of a personal God? |
45122 | Or again, Are we to make ourselves gods? |
45122 | Shall we meet again as we left? |
45122 | Should we then attach our hearts to nothing, and pass quietly and unsympathetically through this world, as if we had nothing to do with it? |
45122 | Shut our eyes and be silent? |
45122 | Surely this was not so in the early centuries, nor again at the time of the Reformation? |
45122 | Then what can we do? |
45122 | To live means to be able to absorb, but who or what is able? |
45122 | Was not Christ, who died for us, more than we ourselves? |
45122 | We are in a dark prison here; let us believe that outside it there is no darkness, but light-- but what light, who knows? |
45122 | We believe what we desire-- true-- but why do we desire? |
45122 | We do not know_ how_ it will be so, but who has a right to say it_ can not_ be so? |
45122 | We love the fair appearance too, how could it be otherwise? |
45122 | We seem to love the fleeting forms of life, and yet how can we truly love what is so faithless? |
45122 | What can we do? |
45122 | What do we ourselves mean by soul? |
45122 | What does that mean? |
45122 | What does that mean? |
45122 | What ground have we, then, to doubt that it was even before that moment? |
45122 | What has life to do with the Self? |
45122 | What led to such expressions as''God is Love''but a feeling of reverence, which shrank from speaking of God as loving as we love? |
45122 | What should we be without it? |
45122 | What should we learn from these prophets who from distant countries and bygone ages all bear the same witness to the same truth? |
45122 | What would become of the world if all our prayers were granted? |
45122 | What, then, is that something which, added to the good, makes it beautiful? |
45122 | What, then, is the touchstone by which we assay the Beautiful? |
45122 | Whence all these limits? |
45122 | Whence comes melody? |
45122 | Where is the temple of God, or the true kingdom of God? |
45122 | Where is there a flaw or a fault? |
45122 | Wherever and whenever it was, we feel that we have made ourselves what we are; is not that a useful article of faith? |
45122 | Who would blame them or disturb them? |
45122 | Why do we so seldom face the great problem? |
45122 | Why not? |
45122 | Why not? |
45122 | Why should all be different? |
45122 | Why should we look for God and listen for His voice outside us only, and not within us? |
45122 | Why should we protest against a similar unknown quantity before the beginning of our life on earth? |
45122 | Why should we try to know more than we can know, if only we firmly believe that Christ''s immortal spirit ascended to the Father? |
45122 | Why was the past often so beautiful? |
45122 | Would it not be fearful to live for one day unless we knew, and saw, and felt His Presence and Wisdom and Love encompassing us on all sides? |
45122 | _ Chips._ Can not a concept exist without a word? |
45122 | _ Chips._ What author has ever said the last word he wanted to say, and who has not had to close his eyes before he could write_ Finis_ to his work? |
45122 | _ Gifford Lectures, II._ Can there be anything higher and better than truth? |
45122 | _ Gifford Lectures, II._ What can a study of Natural Religion teach us? |
45122 | _ Gifford Lectures, III._ We have toiled for many years and been troubled with many questionings, but what is the end of it all? |

45122 | _ Life._ Does love pass away( with death)? |
45122 | _ Life._ What can we call ours if God did not vouchsafe it to us from day to day? |
45122 | _ Life._ What is more natural in life than death? |
45122 | _ Life._ Why do we love so deeply? |
45122 | _ Life._ Would that loving Father begin such a work in us as is now going on, and then destroy it, leave it unfinished? |
45122 | _ MS._ How is it that we know so little of life after death? |
45122 | _ MS._ If Jesus was not God, was He, they ask, a mere man? |

45122 | any one who knows better what is for our real good than God? |
45122 | if the souls are without all this, without age, and sex, and national character, without even their native language, what will they be to us?'' |
45122 | or insist on defining the word''personal''so that it should exclude all that is incompatible with a perfect, unlimited, unchanging Being? |
45122 | perceive the whole universe, and turn it into his object? |
45122 | that we can hardly imagine anything without feeling that it is all human poetry? |
45122 | whence all those desires in us that can not be fulfilled? |
60488 | And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? 60488 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? |
60488 | He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? 60488 Is he the God of the Jews only? |
60488 | Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 60488 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? |
60488 | What is the object of this unparalleled, this mysterious incarnation? 60488 When Jesus came into the coasts of CÃ ¦ sarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? |
60488 | Wherewith shall I come before the Lord( said the prophet Micah),"and bow myself before the high God? |
60488 | Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? 60488 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? 60488 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 60488 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? 60488 And why did God make himself man? 60488 Are we then to pronounce all divine incarnation false, every tradition of it spurious? 60488 Are we to infer that these faults have the same origin as the doctrines with which they are intermixed, and that they are both divinely inspired? 60488 Are we, therefore, to affirm that those laws are necessary, and that no deviation from them is possible in nature? 60488 But He answered and said unto them,Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? |
60488 | But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? |
60488 | But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? |
60488 | But he is pre- eminently the seer:"Is not the seer here?" |
60488 | But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?" |
60488 | But what images so strike, so penetrate the soul? |
60488 | But why an attack of this character, so indirect and little complete? |
60488 | By a voice from without or by an internal inspiration? |
60488 | By what marks can we distinguish the Divine origin of this special revelation that became the Christian religion? |
60488 | By what ways did Jesus Christ penetrate the human soul to accomplish this great work? |
60488 | Did they act up to their teachings, and accomplish what they attempted? |
60488 | Did they cause humanity to make any great progress, and open to it horizons which it had not before known? |
60488 | Did they really change the moral and social condition of nations? |
60488 | Do these two monuments form but one single edifice? |
60488 | For what is it that unites in a church if it is not faith? |
60488 | Had He not to do so when invested with the attributes of humanity, among contemporaries, and even in his own family? |
60488 | Has God need of man''s concurrence? |
60488 | Has it a rightful claim to all this power? |
60488 | Have they, or not, a meaning and an object? |
60488 | Have we not daily the example and the spectacle before our eyes? |
60488 | Have you then completely forgotten, or have you never thoroughly comprehended, humanity and the history of humanity? |
60488 | He acts, it is said, only by general and permanent laws: how can we implore His interference in favour of our special and exceptional desires? |
60488 | He has himself his moments of sadness, of disquietude:"And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? |
60488 | He is immutable, ever perfect, and ever the same: how is it conceivable that He lends Himself to the fickleness of human sentiments and wishes? |
60488 | He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? |
60488 | How did He win the human soul to the Christian faith, in order to snatch it from evil and to save it? |
60488 | How did he, in each instance, reach such a haven of repose? |
60488 | How did those who were its witnesses and instruments think and speak of it at the moment when it was manifested? |
60488 | How does life become sad? |
60488 | How had God spoken to Abraham? |
60488 | How has he come there? |
60488 | How is his liberty compatible with the laws which govern him and the world? |
60488 | How is it that we find it so charming to give it this name, and regard it under this aspect? |
60488 | How is the great event thus characterised by M. Ewald proved? |
60488 | How lead them back to Christianity? |
60488 | How sound closely the mysteries of such a person and such a purpose? |
60488 | How was the Divine Incarnation accomplished in man? |
60488 | If good, how then has evil found admission? |
60488 | Impossible that men should not feel themselves bound to act towards each other as God has done to them; and towards what man is not charity a duty? |
60488 | In holding this language, what in effect is Dr. Chalmers doing? |
60488 | Is good or is evil the condition and the law of man and of the world? |
60488 | Is he a passive instrument of fate, or a responsible agent? |
60488 | Is it by virtue of experience that the child trusts to the words of its mother, that it has faith in all she tells it? |
60488 | Is it destined to fall with the monarchy of Solomon, or to languish and die out in the midst of the struggles and disasters of Judah and of Israel? |
60488 | Is it, then, in His own name that Jesus Christ teaches and commands? |
60488 | Is its influence legitimate, as well as efficacious? |
60488 | Is this the normal and definitive state of man and of the world? |
60488 | Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? |
60488 | Laws there are which govern them;--is there a legislator? |
60488 | Miracles formerly constituted the great force of the sermon, at the present day what are they but a secret source of embarrassment? |
60488 | Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? |
60488 | That second history, is it comprised and written beforehand in the first? |
60488 | They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? |
60488 | What are its source and its nature? |
60488 | What are the elements and the essential facts which constitute it, and upon which it is founded? |
60488 | What are the ties and relations which connect him with the Legislator of the world? |
60488 | What are their beginning and their end? |
60488 | What are they in comparison and in contact with Christian nations? |
60488 | What connection and harmony between the purest, the most generous, instincts of the human soul, and the dogma of God''s Redemption? |
60488 | What did Moses do to obtain a renown so great and so enduring? |
60488 | What does it affirm itself in support of its claim to the moral conquest of mankind? |
60488 | What great progress, what salutary changes, have been effected? |
60488 | What is man himself, but an incomplete and imperfect incarnation of God? |
60488 | What is the full import of this title? |
60488 | What is the full meaning of these words? |
60488 | What is the meaning of this? |
60488 | What is the origin of each, and whither does each tend? |
60488 | What is to become, in this absolute ruin of the nationality of the Jews, of their God, and their faith? |
60488 | What mean these inward disquietudes,--these alternate impulses of pride and weakness? |
60488 | What need to add more? |
60488 | What need to mention that in speaking of the finite world, I do not mean to speak of the material world alone? |
60488 | What passed in that divine soul during that human existence? |
60488 | What shall I say unto them? |
60488 | What sincerity and what firmness ever showed themselves more strikingly than those that grew out of the faith of St. Paul? |
60488 | What teach, what command, in that speech full of authority? |
60488 | What the signification of the inspiration of the sacred volumes? |
60488 | What then ensues? |
60488 | What then is this but to pretend to comprehend God? |
60488 | What was the positive extent of this primal revelation, the necessary attendant upon creation, which occurred in the first relation of God with man? |
60488 | What wonder if Christ has in these days to encounter such adversaries? |
60488 | When it has no other God than the universe, no other man than the chief of the mammalia, what is it but a mere system of Zoology? |
60488 | Whence come this commingling and this strife? |
60488 | Whence comes this Utopia of innocence and bliss in the cradle of the human race? |
60488 | Whence does the world proceed, and whence does man appear in the midst of it? |
60488 | Whence in him this harmony between the philosopher and the Christian? |
60488 | Where are these nations at the present day, more than two thousand years after the appearance of these glorious characters in their history? |
60488 | Wherefore suffering and death? |
60488 | Who does not see how this sublime fact exalts man''s dignity at the same time that it illustrates the worth of man''s nature? |
60488 | Who is there that does not discern an essential, an absolute difference between what is general and what is necessary? |
60488 | Who shall define the possible contingencies, or fathom the mysteries of this relation? |
60488 | Who shall sound the depth of the fall, and of the change which it brought into the moral condition of its author? |
60488 | Who shall weigh the consequences of this change to the state and the moral dispositions of man''s descendants? |
60488 | Why did these four essential systems-- sensualism, idealism, scepticism, and mysticism, appear from the most ancient times? |
60488 | Why has he left Chaldà ¦ a? |
60488 | Why prayer? |
60488 | Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? |
60488 | and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? |
60488 | and by what right do they oppose his nature to his providence, if his nature is, to us, an impenetrable mystery? |
60488 | how does it lose its illusions? |
60488 | is he not also of the Gentiles? |
60488 | or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? |
60488 | shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? |
60488 | shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? |
60488 | why is it that the intimate experience of my own heart can not express itself in a forcible protest against any such opinion? |
60488 | wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business? |
60488 | { 147} Is it possible to determine in words of greater precision the religious and moral object of the inspiration? |
60488 | { 178} Can He not, if He will, accomplish all his designs by himself, and through the fulness of his omnipotence?" |
60488 | { 206} But what, in this decline, will become of the law revealed on Sinai to Moses? |
60488 | { 212} And shall, then, the Hebrews oppose no efficacious resistance to these reverses? |
60488 | { 245} What Reformer, other than Jesus Christ, ever held to his followers such language? |
60488 | { 248} What does He say to them? |
60488 | { 258} Need I say more? |
60488 | { 278} Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cesar, or not? |
60488 | { 287} Another day,"came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? |
60488 | { 36} In what does this dogma consist? |
60488 | { 3} Under the empire of these laws, man feels and calls himself free: is he so in reality? |
60488 | { 47} To what does this idea of a primal time, without strife, without sin, and without pain, correspond? |
60488 | { 49} Is this a pleasure foreign to all personal sentiment, to all secret reference to ourselves, the pleasure, that is to say, of a simple spectator? |
60488 | { 5} I borrow the following admirable observations from M. de Châteaubriand:--"Why does not the ox as I do? |
60488 | { 62} Whence comes this power? |
60488 | { 80} And are we then to regard this merely as a pious, a generous illusion, a devotedness as vain as admirable? |
60488 | { 87} Do you ignore absolutely what the people really is, and what all those nations are that cover the surface of the earth? |
60488 | { 95}''Whither, whither, O Lord, marches the earth in the heavens?''" |
60488 | { 97} Have you well weighed all this? |
60488 | { xiii} Does it comprehend properly, does it suitably carry on the warfare in which it is engaged? |
11771 | Could we commit mankind to a moral Deism without trembling for the result? |
11771 | And does that free- will penetrate the universal frame invisibly to us, an omnipresent agent? |
11771 | And if theological questions are to be dealt with, ought they not to be dealt with accurately, and not loosely? |
11771 | And if this be so, has Christ failed? |
11771 | And the real point is what proof has he given us that this is a revealed fact; that it is so, and that we have the means of knowing it? |
11771 | And what is it that our Lord has done for man by being so truly man? |
11771 | And what mighty mischief will result to countervail the application of this rule of justice? |
11771 | And what was the proof of that doctrine, or essential to the proof of it? |
11771 | And who is this St. Peter? |
11771 | And why does this belief seem untenable to Mr. Maurice? |
11771 | And why should this vast and far- reaching change be made? |
11771 | And would a God who can not act be a God? |
11771 | Are death and separation such light things to triumph over that imagination finds it easy to cheat them? |
11771 | Are little manuals of falsified history confined only to one set of people? |
11771 | Are our conclusions of the customary type? |
11771 | Are they not of the customary, but of a strange and unknown type? |
11771 | Are we likely to be more pained by their faults and deficiencies than he was? |
11771 | But at the end of all such inquiries appears the question of questions, What was the beginning and root of it all? |
11771 | But how to give to the meagre and narrow hearts of men such enlargement? |
11771 | But in ordinary times would it not be well for her to confine herself to more modest and practicable undertakings? |
11771 | But what good gift of God is not liable to abuse from men? |
11771 | But what has taken place in the interim to produce this total change in our belief? |
11771 | But what of all this? |
11771 | But what other voice but his, of equal authority and weight, has been lifted up to speak the plain truth about them? |
11771 | But why should he not? |
11771 | But why? |
11771 | But, first of all, what is that Christianity, and whence did it come, which Rome so helped? |
11771 | Can the enthusiasm for the divinity of human nature stand the test of clear, unsparing observation? |
11771 | Did not Christ do this? |
11771 | Did the command to love go forth to those who had never seen a human being they could revere? |
11771 | Did the statutes of the Reformation involve the abandonment of the duty of the Church to be the guardian of her faith? |
11771 | Did, then, this event really take place? |
11771 | Do they not? |
11771 | Does Dr. Newman think that all Dr. Pusey felt he had to do was to conciliate Roman Catholics? |
11771 | Does the bigness of the property entitle the State to claim it? |
11771 | For if those witnesses and documents deceive us with regard to the miracles, how can we trust them with regard to the doctrines? |
11771 | From the mere repetition do we know anything more about its cause? |
11771 | Has not modern philosophy, again, shown both more strength and acuteness, and also more faith, than the ancient? |
11771 | How did it get there? |
11771 | How is it that the most mysterious of all truths is a universally accepted one? |
11771 | How to make them capable of a universal sympathy? |
11771 | If their account of visible facts is to be received with an explanation, is not their account of doctrines liable to a like explanation? |
11771 | If they are wrong upon the evidences of a revelation, how can we depend upon their being right as to the nature of that revelation? |
11771 | Indeed, does not our heart bear witness to the fact that to believe in a God is an exercise of faith? |
11771 | Is he right in saying that he is not responsible as a Roman Catholic for the extravagances that Dr. Pusey dwells upon? |
11771 | Is his faith secure if they are disproved? |
11771 | Is it State property which the State may resume for other uses? |
11771 | Is it near, or somewhat distant, or indefinitely remote?" |
11771 | Is it that authority still reigns upon one question, and that the voice of all ages is too potent to be withstood? |
11771 | Is it that they think it does not matter what a man believes, and whether a man turns Papist? |
11771 | Is it unlawful for the Church to hold property? |
11771 | Is it vexatious that the Church should be richer and more powerful than the sects? |
11771 | Is not John Foxe still proof against the assaults of Dr. Maitland? |
11771 | Is our standard higher than his? |
11771 | Is the question of their truth or falsehood an irrelevant one to him? |
11771 | Is there a contradiction in the idea of a personal Infinite Being? |
11771 | Is there a contradiction in the idea of creation? |
11771 | Is there above the level of material causes a region of Providence? |
11771 | Is this an account of the world of fact or the world of romance? |
11771 | It is most astonishing that it should have done so, what is the account of it? |
11771 | It is plain that two great questions arise-- first, Are miracles possible? |
11771 | It is pleasant to praise them for their real qualifications; but why do you rest on them as authorities? |
11771 | It will be asked, Is the question to receive no judicial solution? |
11771 | Look at it only as a conception, and does the wildest fiction of the imagination equal it? |
11771 | Mere consciousness-- was not that of itself a new world within the old one? |
11771 | Mere knowledge-- that nature herself became known to a being within herself, was not that the same? |
11771 | Mr. Gladstone first goes into the question-- What was done, and what was the understanding at the Reformation? |
11771 | No doubt it did; but what was it that responded, and what was its consolation, and whence was its power drawn? |
11771 | Now by what means did he procure that these immense pretensions should be allowed? |
11771 | Now, if this is not mere rhetoric, what does it come to? |
11771 | Of these two influences-- that of Reason and that of Living Example-- which would a wise reformer reinforce? |
11771 | Or is the evidence of it forestalled by the inductive principle compelling us to remove the scene_ as such_ out of the category of matters of fact? |
11771 | Où est le sage qui a donné au monde autant de joie, que la possédée Marie de Magdala? |
11771 | Shall surprise, then, give life to belief or stimulus to doubt? |
11771 | Shall we speak of the originality of the design, of the skill displayed in the execution? |
11771 | That possibly is sufficient for his purpose; but it may still be asked-- What did the Watson case itself grow out of? |
11771 | The principle of authority is shaken, he tells us; what can he suggest to restore it? |
11771 | Then what have we got besides the past repetition itself? |
11771 | This being so, what would a man do who wished to study it methodically? |
11771 | What can be more incomprehensible, more heterogeneous, a more ghostly resident in nature, than the sense of right and wrong? |
11771 | What has produced this change, and elicited this new power of action? |
11771 | What is it which guards this truth? |
11771 | What is it which makes men shrink from denying it? |
11771 | What is it? |
11771 | What is the Gospel picture? |
11771 | What is the argument urged in the Historical Introduction to justify or recommend our acquiescence in it? |
11771 | What is the consequence? |
11771 | What is the explanation of it? |
11771 | What is the history of this? |
11771 | What is there fascinating, or even imposing, in such a character? |
11771 | What more entirely new and eccentric fact, indeed, can be imagined than a human soul first rising up amidst an animal and vegetable world? |
11771 | What was there in the known thoughts or hopes or motives of men at the time to furnish such a response? |
11771 | What, then, is the secret of its force? |
11771 | What, then, is this investigation, and what course does it follow? |
11771 | When it came to the question-- which every one must sooner or later put to himself on this subject-- Did these things really take place? |
11771 | Whence is it? |
11771 | Who can describe exhaustively the origin of civil society? |
11771 | Who can describe that which unites men? |
11771 | Who can dispute it? |
11771 | Who has entered into the formation of speech which is the symbol of their union? |
11771 | Who is the humble man? |
11771 | Why is atheism a crime? |
11771 | Why, if they are wrong, extravagant, dangerous, is his protest solitary? |
11771 | Why, then, are we so certain of its_ future_ repetition? |
11771 | Without infallibility, it is said, men will turn freethinkers and heretics; but do n''t they,_ with_ it? |
11771 | Would a Deity deprived of miraculous action possess action at all? |
11771 | Would he approve that word or disapprove it?" |
11771 | Would it not be well for her to adapt her ends to her means? |
11771 | Would it not be well for the Church to impose upon its ordinary members only ordinary duties? |
11771 | Would it not issue in such an estimate of human nature as Mahomet took? |
11771 | and what is the good of the engine if it will not do its work? |
11771 | for our belief in the uniformity of nature? |
11771 | must it come? |
11771 | next, If they are, can any in fact be proved? |
11771 | or can Christianity die? |
11771 | ought it to come? |
16322 | But is it not horrid? |
16322 | But what are they doing this beastly work for? |
16322 | Now tell me, how much sense does the head have that lays down a command on a matter where it has no authority? 16322 What is it?" |
16322 | When will I ever attain to that state of mind that I am sure God is pleased with me? |
16322 | Who is Paul,he exclaims,"and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed? |
16322 | ''Of what use is salt,''he exclaims in another passage,''if it do not bite the tongue? |
16322 | 10, 15:"How shall they preach, except they be sent? |
16322 | 13, 1)? |
16322 | 14, 3);"Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? |
16322 | 16, 18 signify Peter? |
16322 | 2, 18)? |
16322 | 2, 8), or when he speaks slightingly of the observance on which the Colossians prided themselves as"rudiments of the world"( Col. 2, 20)? |
16322 | A beautiful sentiment for an anarchist to utter, is it not? |
16322 | After declaring to the Romans:"Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound,"he raises the question:"What shall we say then? |
16322 | Ah, says our Catholic critic, but was he not free to change his mind? |
16322 | And if any man sin,"-- mark this well:"If any man sin,"though he ought not to sin,--what does the apostle say to him? |
16322 | And now, what does Luther say on the subject of polygamy? |
16322 | But did not Luther sanction the bigamy of Philip of Hesse? |
16322 | But did not the Lord proceed to declare Peter the rock on which He would build His Church? |
16322 | But does this estimate of Luther square with the facts in the case? |
16322 | But if these laymen are allowed to do their work without restraint, what do the Romanist scribes mean by their laws? |
16322 | But should not the spiritual and temporal powers combine to find some means of meeting these difficulties without any such heathen practise? |
16322 | But supposing there were superabundant merits, supererogatory works of Christ and the saints, who has determined their quantity? |
16322 | But was it necessary, in speaking of the inability of the Law to save men, to use such strong and contemptuous terms as Luther has used? |
16322 | But what about the answer of the Lord to the rich young man? |
16322 | But what about the many coarse references in Luther''s writings to sexual matters- references which are unprintable nowadays? |
16322 | But who was there at that time who would have taught me how I had to go about it? |
16322 | But why did not these excellent principles attain better results in Luther''s own time? |
16322 | Can any language of contempt in which Luther afterwards spoke of this doughty champion of Rome be too strong? |
16322 | Can the reader guess why? |
16322 | Can the reader imagine a cause for this phenomenon? |
16322 | Can the reader suggest a reason? |
16322 | Can they do any more? |
16322 | Could there be a better faith than this, a faith less free from worry and anxiety? |
16322 | Dare I believe myself so smart as to know better than the Church?" |
16322 | Did Luther say, and did Mathesius report, that up to the year 1505 he had not known of the Bible? |
16322 | Did Melanchthon contemplate some crime which he was too timid to perpetrate? |
16322 | Did not King Diarmid have two legitimate wives and two concubines? |
16322 | Did you see that naughty man stab the pretty soldier right through his uniform?" |
16322 | Do you forbid even to bark at these wolves? |
16322 | Do you think the price paltry and the payment small that has been made for us by this great Lamb?" |
16322 | Does Rome perhaps think the same of all the pious pilgrims that annually crowd Rome? |
16322 | Does not the doctrine of justification by faith alone, without the deeds of the Law, abolish the holy and good Law of God? |
16322 | Does not the prophet say,"Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and keepeth back his sword from blood"?''" |
16322 | Does the true Law of God, when properly applied, ever have any other effect upon natural man? |
16322 | Every night were the corpses of murdered men found in the streets, yet none dared move; for who but might fear that his turn would be next? |
16322 | For God''s sake, how can you conceive a thought like that? |
16322 | For what is your life? |
16322 | For, does not their system of indulgences rest on a theory of imputation? |
16322 | Had they ever had a greater bargain offered to them? |
16322 | Has it created that chaos and confusion which Catholics claim it must inevitably lead to? |
16322 | Has not one of the canonized saints of Rome, St. Augustine, declared that bigamy might be permitted if a wife was sterile? |
16322 | Has not the married relationship come up for"dispensation"in the chancelleries of the Vatican innumerable times? |
16322 | Has the reader ever heard of such an officer of the Roman Church as the inquisitor, one of whose duties it was to hunt for Bibles among the people? |
16322 | Have they really no such thing as a"dispensation"at Rome? |
16322 | Have you only written, and not read what you have written? |
16322 | He felt like Paul when he groaned:"O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
16322 | He says:"What need is there why we should try to find all sorts of reasons to explain why the fathers under Moses were permitted to have many wives? |
16322 | He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? |
16322 | How can I come to I live righteously? |
16322 | How can I hope to die calmly, in the confidence that I am going to heaven? |
16322 | How could a person pay for a donation, especially such a donation of spiritual and heavenly treasures? |
16322 | How did they treat the just claims and reasonable demands of the German nation for measures that were admitted to be crying needs of the times? |
16322 | How did this power become attached to Rome? |
16322 | How do I obtain a good conscience? |
16322 | How do so many towns and villages manage to exist without these houses? |
16322 | How else can heretics be kept it bay?'' |
16322 | How fitting would it be if the Leipzig authorities would lay down laws for us at Wittenberg, or we at Wittenberg for the people of Leipzig? |
16322 | How had they treated Luther? |
16322 | How had they treated simple laymen in whose possession a Bible was found? |
16322 | How is my sin to be forgiven? |
16322 | How is this intelligence conveyed to purgatory that Mr. So- and- so is free to proceed to heaven? |
16322 | How many parishioners in all the Catholic churches of this country to- day own a Bible? |
16322 | How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" |
16322 | How? |
16322 | However, did not Luther and Catherine both perjure themselves by marrying? |
16322 | If Peter possessed the supremacy that Catholics claim for him, how and by what right did he dispose of it at his death? |
16322 | If a priest is killed, the country is laid under an interdict; why not also if a peasant is killed? |
16322 | If any engage in such proceedings and drag my name into it, what can I do to stop them? |
16322 | If that is the case, why do they attack Luther for his attempt to have the abuses corrected? |
16322 | If the people of Israel existed without this scandal, why should not a Christian nation be able do so? |
16322 | If there is such a thing among Protestants as"religious veneration"of Luther, what shall we call the veneration of Mary among Catholics? |
16322 | If this is not adding insult to injury, what is? |
16322 | If this is not so, of what use is the Bible? |
16322 | If you have not heard of him before, look him up in_ Who is Who?_ most anywhere. |
16322 | In a letter addressed to Joseph Levin Metzsch of December 9, 1526, Luther says:"Your first question: Whether person may have more than one wife? |
16322 | Is he not reported in his Table Talk to have said that looking at a pretty woman or taking a hearty drink would dispel gloomy thoughts? |
16322 | Is it anything else in the case of other men? |
16322 | Is it not remarkable that Joseph Smith himself does not cite Luther as his authority in defense of plural marriages? |
16322 | Is that evidence? |
16322 | Is that possible? |
16322 | Is the lock on the gate of heaven a common padlock, or like the cunning contrivances which are nowadays employed in safety vaults? |
16322 | It says:"If God be for us, who can be against us? |
16322 | Luther, Repudiates the Ten Commandments? |
16322 | Now tell me, how can a man see, know, judge, sentence, and change the heart? |
16322 | Or to Hallam in his_ Middle Ages_, where he reports concubinage in Europe? |
16322 | Or to Lea, who proves that this evil was not confined to the laity? |
16322 | Otherwise, what is to become of the Bible?" |
16322 | Quite correct; but is not monasticism by itself an outrage upon human nature? |
16322 | Rome will say: Why do you not do as we do in our Church? |
16322 | Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?" |
16322 | Tell me, would that be German? |
16322 | The Lord had addressed to all His disciples the question,"Whom say ye that I am?" |
16322 | The doctor:''Well, what does the Church believe?'' |
16322 | The people needed a leader, and who was better qualified for that than their trusted prince? |
16322 | They must be entirely left out of account when such questions are to be answered as these: How do I obtain a gracious God? |
16322 | Was He a slanderer when He called the Jews an adulterous and perverse generation, the offspring of vipers, hypocrites, sons of the devil? |
16322 | Was not concubinage still recognized by law in the sixteenth century in Ireland? |
16322 | Was the Church in those days built on a canting hypocrite? |
16322 | Were not penances imposed on him in the confessional for every default? |
16322 | What German would understand that? |
16322 | What about the commandment to be perfect? |
16322 | What about their religious vow, which had been given to God? |
16322 | What are the facts in the case? |
16322 | What are we to say about this antipapal violence of Luther? |
16322 | What became of the Church in the night when Peter denied the Lord? |
16322 | What bold immoral act did Weller commit in consequence of Luther''s advice? |
16322 | What can poor mortal man do to break down such a cause? |
16322 | What caused Luther to write those words? |
16322 | What do you think of Christ? |
16322 | What does the Bible say about faith being assurance of pardon and everlasting life? |
16322 | What does the Bible say about faith without works as a means of justification? |
16322 | What does the Bible say about man''s ability to fulfil the Law of God? |
16322 | What does the Bible say about the condition of natural man after the fall? |
16322 | What does the Bible say about the powers of natural man after the fall in reference to spiritual matters? |
16322 | What does the Bible say about the relation of Christ to the Law and to sin? |
16322 | What does the Bible say about the value of man''s works of righteousness performed by his natural powers? |
16322 | What does the common law say about the prosecution coming into court with clean hands? |
16322 | What effect has it had on human progress in every field of secular activity in Protestant lands? |
16322 | What else does living mean than to be glad in the Lord? |
16322 | What have Catholics to say in rejoinder to Sir Henry Maine''s assertion that the Canon Law of their Church brought about numerous sexual inequalities? |
16322 | What have I done unto thee that thou hast smitten me?" |
16322 | What have I done, he exclaims, to deserve the enmity of the Pope and his rabble, except that I have preached Christ? |
16322 | What immoralities are there in Luther''s own life? |
16322 | What is Luther? |
16322 | What is the evidence? |
16322 | What is there fatalistic about this? |
16322 | What profit can there be in arguing the impossibility of a thing when the reality confronts you? |
16322 | What sanctifying virtue lies in abstaining from beefsteak on Friday? |
16322 | What sort of thing is''abundance of heart( Ueberfluss des Herzens)''? |
16322 | What was their inquisitorial court but the anteroom to holy butchers''shambles, the legal vestibule to murder that had been sanctioned by the Popes? |
16322 | Whence comes this great difference among equal Christians? |
16322 | Whenever this happened, was it not his duty to endeavor to repair the damage? |
16322 | Where is Erasmus to- day in the world''s valuation? |
16322 | Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? |
16322 | Who is he that condemneth? |
16322 | Who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect? |
16322 | Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
16322 | Who takes the inventory of this stock of the papal bank of Rome? |
16322 | Who would not hold as of unsound mind the person who would command the moon to shine when it wishes? |
16322 | Why did he not gently flatter him, that he might convert him, rather than thunder in such a way? |
16322 | Why do not the Catholics embrace the early Christians in their charge of Bible mutilation? |
16322 | Why do we not believe all the angels, since a single one of them has greater authority than the Pope? |
16322 | Why do we not believe the Bible, when one passage of Scripture outweighs all the books in the world?" |
16322 | Why scruple about a sin? |
16322 | Why should not great cities be able to do so? |
16322 | Why worry? |
16322 | With the magnificent printing and publishing facilities of our times, how many persons are still without the Bible? |
16322 | Would not every firm believer in the deity and Redeemership of Christ become the rock on which the Church is built just as much as Peter? |
16322 | Yes, so the text reads, and with Luther we should now inquire: Was it a brass, or silver, or golden, or wooden key? |
16322 | and your labor for that which satisfieth not? |
16322 | note: sic] subjected to? |
16322 | or the blade of a sword unless it be sharp enough to cut? |
16322 | shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
16322 | that one should sin to spite the devil? |
16322 | you''ve done it, you have squared your account again with the Almighty"? |
48250 | But what amendment in any case can be espied in you? 48250 How long shall we do so?" |
48250 | Knave,quoth one,"what have ye to do to meddle with the Scriptures?" |
48250 | What sayest thou of the Mass? |
48250 | What then,said another,"shall we leave to the bishops and kirkmen to do, if every man shall be a babbler upon the Bible?" |
48250 | Who doubts of that? |
48250 | Whom to? |
48250 | Will the Duke? |
48250 | Will ye,quoth she,"allow that they shall take_ my_ sword in their hand?" |
48250 | Yea,said Lethington,"the Queen knew and knoweth it well enough; but the question is, whether the Queen allows such conventions?" |
48250 | After long reasoning, some that were made for the purpose said,"Why may not the Lords vote, and then show unto the Kirk whatsoever is done?" |
48250 | Ahab was a king, and Jezebel was a queen, and yet of what the Prophet Elijah said to the one and to the other, I suppose ye are not ignorant? |
48250 | And Job consenteth to the same sentence, saying,"Seeing that He is higher than the heavens, what canst thou build unto Him? |
48250 | And do ye not approve this vocation?" |
48250 | And how long wilt Thou suffer this tyranny of men?" |
48250 | And who shall be judge? |
48250 | And why is now the just compelled to keep silence? |
48250 | And yet, who guides the Queen and Court? |
48250 | At first the flatterers of the Court stormed, and asked,"Who durst avow it?" |
48250 | At length he asked,"Will ye save my life?" |
48250 | But beginning to wax sorrowful in spirit, and being asked the cause, he said,"What differ I from a dead man, except that I eat and drink? |
48250 | But how resisted the priests the king? |
48250 | But were not the Estates of her realm assembled in her name? |
48250 | But what authority have ye to convocate my subjects when ye will, without my commandment? |
48250 | But, to the second part; where ye allege that ye offer Christ in remembrance, we ask, first, unto whom do ye offer Him? |
48250 | But, where God is forsaken, what can counsel or judgment avail? |
48250 | Do ye not consider that such a company needs comfort and provision from time to time? |
48250 | Do ye think that the Apostles prayed themselves as they commanded others to pray? |
48250 | Elisha feared not to say to King Jehoram,"What have I to do with thee? |
48250 | For what was our force? |
48250 | For why? |
48250 | Have I not the Queen at my own devotion? |
48250 | Have ye heard any teach, but such as the Pope and his Cardinals have allowed? |
48250 | Have ye not heard it affirmed to his own face that God should revenge his blasphemy, even in the eyes of such as were witnesses to his iniquity? |
48250 | Have ye not made convocation of the Queen''s lieges? |
48250 | Have ye not written letters desiring the brethren to convene from all parts to Andrew Armstrong and Patrick Cranston''s day? |
48250 | He again asked,"Is that Norman?" |
48250 | He cried in his ear,"Take order, Sire, with your realm: who shall rule during the minority of your daughter? |
48250 | He is deeper than the hell, then how shalt thou know Him? |
48250 | Hearing this, he answered,"Why should the pleasing face of a gentlewoman affright me? |
48250 | How can it be otherwise? |
48250 | How can that doctrine be of God, seeing that God commands subjects to obey their princes? |
48250 | How long shall darkness overwhelm this realm? |
48250 | If I ask a drink, do you think that I sin? |
48250 | If they did so, she would hold no Parliament; and what then should become of them that had melled[211] with the slaughter of the Earl of Huntly? |
48250 | In explaining these words,"How long shalt Thou be angry, O Lord, against the prayer of Thy people?" |
48250 | In the end, the preacher said to those that were present,"Was not this your charge to me? |
48250 | In time of darkness, what could we do but grope and go wrong even as darkness carried us? |
48250 | Is Oliver ta''en? |
48250 | Is Oliver ta''en? |
48250 | Is it not treason, my Lords, to accuse a prince of cruelty? |
48250 | Is not France my friend, and am not I friend to France? |
48250 | Is not my Lord Governor mine? |
48250 | Is not that treason? |
48250 | Is not the King dead?" |
48250 | It was demanded, what could be reprehended in the translation used? |
48250 | John Knox demanded,"Did ye consent, my Lord, to any part of that treason?" |
48250 | John Knox demanded,"My Lord, who has betrayed you?" |
48250 | Know ye not how the bishops and their officials serve us husbandmen? |
48250 | Lo, what say ye to that? |
48250 | May not my Lord compel me to answer to his extortionate power; or believeth he that I am not prepared to render account of my doctrine? |
48250 | May we cast away what we please, and retain what we please? |
48250 | May we do the same in matters of religion? |
48250 | May we not suffer her a little while? |
48250 | May we, think ye, take the Queen''s Mass from her?" |
48250 | Now, Madam, if ye shall deny your duty to those who especially crave that ye shall punish malefactors, think ye to receive full obedience of them? |
48250 | Now, Madam, who shall judge betwixt us two thus contending? |
48250 | Or shall I be condemned before I be heard? |
48250 | Or what are ye within this commonwealth? |
48250 | Or when shall she be seen to give her presence to the public preaching? |
48250 | Or whether her idolatry shall be laid to our charge? |
48250 | Or, think ye, Madam, that God will be offended with them that have stayed their father from committing wickedness? |
48250 | Others cried,"Against whom will ye fight? |
48250 | Others demanded, What answer was received on the former occasion? |
48250 | Our question is, whether we may and ought to suppress the Queen''s Mass? |
48250 | Politic heads were sent to the gentlemen, with these and like persuasions,"Why, alas, will ye chase our Sovereign from us? |
48250 | Remove him, and who abideth that carefully will travail in that or any other weighty matter in these parts? |
48250 | Shall there not be four regents chosen, and shall not I be principal of them?" |
48250 | Shall we suffer this whole realm to be infected with pernicious doctrine? |
48250 | She will incontinently return to her galleys; and what then shall all realms say of us? |
48250 | Such a man was too base for her estate; had not she been great Queen of France? |
48250 | That was scripped at, and it was demanded,"How many of those that had subscribed that Book would be subject unto it?" |
48250 | The Bishops, offended, said,"What prating is this? |
48250 | The Cardinal asking,"Who calls?" |
48250 | The King, wondering, said,"Adam Reid, what say ye?" |
48250 | The Queen Regent, proud of this victory, burst forth in blasphemous railing, and said,"Where is now John Knox''s God? |
48250 | The Sub- prior said to him,"Father, what say ye? |
48250 | The captain said,"Will ye not go to the Mass?" |
48250 | The godly began to bolden; and men began openly to speak,"Shall that idol be suffered again to take its place within this realm? |
48250 | The said Master George, who was most sharp of eye and judgment, marked him, and as he came near said,"My friend, what would ye do?" |
48250 | The sum of all his sermon was:"They say that we should preach: why not? |
48250 | Then the ravening wolves became mad, and said,"Whereunto do we let him speak any further? |
48250 | Then was heard nothing on the Queen''s part but,"My joys, my hearts, what ails you? |
48250 | Thereat the idiot Doctors, offended, said,"What will ye do, my Lord? |
48250 | Therefore, if I should now move the same question again, what should I do but either show my own ignorance and forgetfulness, or else inconstancy? |
48250 | To what confusion and fear were idolaters, adulterers, and all public transgressors of God''s commandments brought within short time? |
48250 | Was not his common talk,''When these knaves have railed their fill, will they then hold their peace?'' |
48250 | Was there ever a minister that gave thanks to God for her Majesty''s liberality towards them?" |
48250 | Was there none amongst you who did foresee what inconveniences might ensue his absence from these parts? |
48250 | We mean,"What honest man will do greatest service for least expense?" |
48250 | What can that hurt us or our religion?" |
48250 | What danger should I fear?" |
48250 | What is it? |
48250 | What say ye, my Lords? |
48250 | What sayest thou of these things?" |
48250 | What was I, that I should mell with such matters? |
48250 | What was our number? |
48250 | What will ye prove thereby? |
48250 | When he beheld their laughing,"Laugh ye,"saith he,"my Lords? |
48250 | When her placeboes gave their plaudits, affirming, with like countenance,"This is a good beginning,"she said:"But wot ye whereat I laugh? |
48250 | When the Archbishop, in mockery, said to Adam Reid of Barskymming,"Reid, believe ye that God is in heaven?" |
48250 | Where are these knaves that have brought me this tale?" |
48250 | Where find ye that the Scripture calls any the bond slaves to Satan? |
48250 | Where have ye the example of such prayer? |
48250 | While disorder arose more and more in the army, men cried in every ear,"My Lord Lieutenant, what will ye do?" |
48250 | Who but the Protestants? |
48250 | Who gave him authority to make convocation of my lieges? |
48250 | Whom else desirest thou to be thy judge?" |
48250 | Why flee ye now, villains, without order? |
48250 | Why may not the Kirk, for good causes, devise ceremonies to decorate the Sacraments and other of God''s services? |
48250 | Will they not give us a letter of cursing for a plack,[14] to last for a year, to curse all that look over our dyke[15]? |
48250 | Will ye condemn all that my Lord Cardinal and the other bishops and we have done? |
48250 | Will ye vote in this matter, or will ye not vote?" |
48250 | Witness his eldest son there in pledge at my table? |
48250 | Would not we be as sorry to hurt the religion as would any of you?" |
48250 | Ye have known my service, what will ye have done? |
48250 | Ye said, What ado had I to speak of your marriage? |
48250 | Yea, what wisdom or worldly policy was in us, to have brought to a good end so great an enterprise? |
48250 | [ 216] The papistical ceremony, down to its minutest details(?). |
48250 | [ 232] Share(?). |
48250 | _ Knox._ But what obedience, to God or to His Word, ensues of all that is spoken to her? |
48250 | _ Knox._ But wherein can I be accused? |
48250 | _ Knox._ Is it lawful for me, Madam, to answer for myself? |
48250 | _ Knox._ Whom blames your Grace for that? |
48250 | _ Lethington._ But where do ye ever find one of the Prophets so to have prayed? |
48250 | _ Lethington._ But yet, why pray ye not for her, without moving any doubt? |
48250 | _ Lethington._ How can it be defended? |
48250 | _ Lethington._ I know that the idolater is commanded to die the death; but by whom? |
48250 | _ Lethington._ Where will ye find that any of the Prophets did so entreat kings and queens, rulers or magistrates? |
48250 | _ Lethington._ Wherein rebels she against God? |
48250 | _ Lethington._ Why say ye so? |
48250 | _ Lethington._ Why say ye that she refuses admonition? |
48250 | _ Maxwell._ No offence, to convocate the Queen''s lieges? |
48250 | _ Queen Mary._ Ye interpret the Scriptures in one manner, and they interpret in another; whom shall I believe? |
48250 | _ Queen Mary._ Ye think, then, that I have no just authority? |
48250 | _ Queen._ But what have ye to do with my marriage? |
48250 | _ Queen._ Heard ye ever, my Lords, a more despiteful and treasonable letter? |
48250 | _ Queen._ What have ye to do with my marriage? |
48250 | _ Queen._ What is this? |
48250 | _ Sub- prior._ Will ye bind us so strait that we may do nothing without the express Word of God? |
48250 | and next, by what authority are ye assured of well doing? |
48250 | and should ye not love your neighbours as yourselves?" |
48250 | or that the Prophets of God speak so irreverently of kings and princes? |
48250 | what account shall the most part of princes make before that Supreme Judge, whose throne and authority so manifestly and shamefully they abuse? |
27514 | But what if you simply told me your own experience-- what religion has done for you? |
27514 | What if, instead, you stayed at home and talked to me of religion? |
27514 | ''And that--?'' |
27514 | ''And what is that?'' |
27514 | ''Are you dying for him?'' |
27514 | ''Are you satisfied with yourself my lord?'' |
27514 | ''But how,''he writes,''can I hesitate? |
27514 | ''Do you know what I wish you would do, Fred?'' |
27514 | ''Have you ever known in your life,''he asked,''a moment when you felt that a great change happened to you? |
27514 | ''How am I to begin? |
27514 | ''How can a man be_ born again_? |
27514 | ''How can a man_ be born_ when he is old?'' |
27514 | ''How will you answer to our common Lord,''he asks,''that you, sir, never led me into light? |
27514 | ''Is it possible, is it possible?'' |
27514 | ''May I tell you,''she asked,''the Bishop''s way of meeting all difficulties, sorrows and perplexities?'' |
27514 | ''Now you know all about the book, do n''t you?'' |
27514 | ''Oh, you will let me hold your brave hand, stranger?'' |
27514 | ''Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? |
27514 | ''Speculations?'' |
27514 | ''Surely it is n''t too late just because the meetings are over?'' |
27514 | ''Then why do n''t you free your slaves?'' |
27514 | ''Three beats?'' |
27514 | ''Turn,''he said,''to the eighth of Romans and put my finger on these words:"_ Who can separate us from the love of Christ? |
27514 | ''Well, what is his name?'' |
27514 | ''What are your speculations?'' |
27514 | ''What could Paul mean exactly? |
27514 | ''What did Paul mean? |
27514 | ''What do they mean?'' |
27514 | ''What is it to be_ born again_? |
27514 | ''What is it?'' |
27514 | ''What of Death? |
27514 | ''What shall I do?'' |
27514 | ''What?'' |
27514 | ''Whence came all these things?'' |
27514 | ''Whence came the figs and the vines and the olives, the corn and the flocks and the herds?'' |
27514 | ''Whereunto,''he asks,''was I ordained a preacher and an apostle and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity?'' |
27514 | ''Which is that?'' |
27514 | ''Which one?'' |
27514 | ''Who was the author? |
27514 | ''Yes; but how is a poor devil to get out of this infernal scrape?'' |
27514 | ''You would like to be better?'' |
27514 | ''_ Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved!_''What did the schoolmaster mean? |
27514 | ''_ God is Love!_''''_ Prepare to Meet thy God!_''How could he, with his old hate in his heart, stand in the presence of a God of Love? |
27514 | ''_ How?_''asked Dr. Blund of Mr. Rodwell. |
27514 | ''_ How?_''asked Nicodemus of the Saviour. |
27514 | ''_ How_ can a man be_ born again_?'' |
27514 | ''_ How_ can a man_ be born_ when he is old?'' |
27514 | ''_ I have sinned_,''cried Job;''_ what shall I do? |
27514 | ''_ It is Finished!_''yes, indeed, Finished every jot; Sinner, this is all you need; Tell me, is it not? |
27514 | ''_ My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?_''He cried from that depth of dereliction. |
27514 | ''_ Those words_,''said old Donald Menzies, the mystic of Drumtochty,''_ those words fell upon me like a gleam from the Mercy- seat!_''What words? |
27514 | ''_ What shall I do? |
27514 | ''_ What shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
27514 | ''_ Wherewith shall I come before the Lord and bow myself before the high God?'' |
27514 | ''_ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
27514 | And have I not taken my glass and filled it and quaffed with relish the sweet and sparkling water? |
27514 | And have I not thought wistfully of the reservoir far up the slopes? |
27514 | And how did it all come about? |
27514 | And the result? |
27514 | And the secret of this great unselfish life? |
27514 | And the_ second_ stage-- the stage that leveled the balances? |
27514 | And the_ third_ stage-- the triumphant stage? |
27514 | And what if the sealed envelope contains a_ text_? |
27514 | And what sins are these that are lying down with him in the dust? |
27514 | And what was going on at the inner heart of things? |
27514 | And what were they? |
27514 | And why not? |
27514 | And yet we have also felt the force of that persistent and penetrating_ How?_ Dr. Blund is no frolic of Mr. Begbie''s imagination. |
27514 | And, if this be so, would not the original answer to the question be the best answer for the placard? |
27514 | And, when they opened it, they read:''_ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
27514 | Angels? |
27514 | Any fresh Creation? |
27514 | Are you pretending? |
27514 | At vesper- tide, One virtuous and pure in heart did pray,''Since none I wronged in deed or word to- day, From whom should I crave pardon? |
27514 | But is it? |
27514 | But was it dead? |
27514 | But what does it matter? |
27514 | But what is_ that_ compared with_ this_? |
27514 | But will a man desire the salvation which the New Testament reveals unless he has first recognized his inability to meet heaven''s just demands? |
27514 | But, say, can you add to that line That he lived for it, too? |
27514 | Can there, indeed, be any true religion without these things? |
27514 | Can you not say a few words in prayer in the early part of the service, that I may join with you in prayer for my husband before I return to him?'' |
27514 | Death? |
27514 | Depth? |
27514 | Did not the Son Himself venture to risk the wrath of the Father that He might redeem man? |
27514 | Did they lead both of them to penitence and faith and peace? |
27514 | Do they not represent the irreducible minimum? |
27514 | Even from the standpoint of''a stern lady who is provokingly evangelical,''is it not well for the minister to preach on that objectionable text? |
27514 | For who was the stranger murdered upon the highway? |
27514 | From what source did that perennial stream of piety spring? |
27514 | Have I a lifetime before me in which to work out repentance? |
27514 | Have not I myself been down there in the dust and heat on such a day as this? |
27514 | Have not I myself been parched and thirsty? |
27514 | Have you ever been conscious of_ a new birth_ in your soul?'' |
27514 | Have you the same message for the living and the dying? |
27514 | Height? |
27514 | How can a man be_ born again_?'' |
27514 | How can a man be_ born again_?'' |
27514 | How could copies be obtained?'' |
27514 | How could he ever forget it? |
27514 | I enjoyed the"_ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?_"I know few things finer.'' |
27514 | III What was it that led both Daniel Defoe and Sir Walter Scott to give the text such prominence? |
27514 | If this be so, is it not as well for that Scottish minister to preach on that terrible text, after all? |
27514 | If we can accept the_ four_ words, why not accept all_ six_? |
27514 | If we credit the head of the text, why cavil at the tail? |
27514 | If, he asked himself, as he lay upon the hay, if the whole work was finished, and the whole debt paid upon the Cross, what is there left for me to do? |
27514 | If, however, there is any such secret in religion, why may I not attain to it as well as my mother? |
27514 | Is it a face? |
27514 | Is it any wonder that, this being so, Paul felt that his splinter positively shone? |
27514 | Is it empty? |
27514 | Is it good, is it fair, is it honest to strike out the real answer and to insert in its place an adopted one? |
27514 | Is it not a fact that heaven_ does_ insist on equity and charity and piety? |
27514 | Is the deleted text-- the worst text in the Bible-- true? |
27514 | Is there no still greater incarnation of the faith? |
27514 | It had found air to breathe and water to drink and grass to nibble; what did it care about the world? |
27514 | It was when he listened to the_ Thou shalts_ and the_ Thou shalt nots_ that he cried,''O wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me?'' |
27514 | Life? |
27514 | Looking fixedly into his visitor''s eyes, he exclaimed:''Tell me, have_ you_ been_ born again_?'' |
27514 | Mr. Cosmo Monkhouse has well asked-- Was ever man so simple and so sage, So crowned and yet so careless of a prize? |
27514 | O Death, where is thy sting?_ IV But there was more in Sydney Carton''s experience than we have yet seen. |
27514 | O Grave, where is thy victory?__ I am the Life! |
27514 | O my God, why is not my heart doubly- agonized at the remembrance of all my great transgressions?'' |
27514 | Of what value was life to him, now that his soul was everlastingly lost? |
27514 | Oh, why from His side flowed the sin- cleansing stream, If His dying my debt has not paid? |
27514 | Oh, why was He there as the Bearer of sin If on Jesus my guilt was not laid? |
27514 | Powers? |
27514 | Principalities? |
27514 | Shall I tell you of what it reminds me? |
27514 | Surely I will not forget this forty years hence?'' |
27514 | They came at length to the final chapter; could he possibly live till it was done? |
27514 | Things Present? |
27514 | Things to Come? |
27514 | To whom can she commit herself? |
27514 | V Is there in all Scottish literature a more robust, more satisfying, or more lovable character than_ Donal Grant_? |
27514 | VII''_ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?_''asked Uncle Tom, with his last breath. |
27514 | What am I? |
27514 | What are the mysterious words in the envelope? |
27514 | What can it mean? |
27514 | What can she do? |
27514 | What does that mean?'' |
27514 | What greeting shall we send from the_ Civilization- that- is_ to the_ Civilization- that- is- to- be_? |
27514 | What had become of him? |
27514 | What is his message? |
27514 | What is my poor self?" |
27514 | What is that patch of paleness that I see up in the corner? |
27514 | What is to be placed within it? |
27514 | What is_ the world_? |
27514 | What more do you want?'' |
27514 | What need to speak again? |
27514 | What of the Grave? |
27514 | What shall I do?_''But there is no reply. |
27514 | What shall I do?_''cries this despairing soul at the beginning of my Bible. |
27514 | What was James Chalmers''text? |
27514 | What was it in the text that appealed so irresistibly to Robinson Crusoe and to Mary Avenel? |
27514 | What was it that the preacher had said? |
27514 | What was it to be_ born again_? |
27514 | What would Huxley have been, I wonder, if the sympathy for which he hungered had been extended to him? |
27514 | What would she be if trouble came upon him? |
27514 | What, to him, was the significance of that great sentence that, as the catechism says, forms''_ the preface to the Ten Commandments_''? |
27514 | What_ could_ he mean save that he was willing to be damned to save those whom he loved? |
27514 | Where can she go? |
27514 | Where did Franklin discover it? |
27514 | Where, I wonder, will it stand in three thousand years''time? |
27514 | Which am I to begin with?'' |
27514 | Who is there that has not read a dozen times the immortal postscript that Gibbon added to his_ Decline and Fall_? |
27514 | Who now shall rally Freedom''s scattered host? |
27514 | Who wear the mantle of the leader lost? |
27514 | Who would not be irritated by a splinter, he asks, if the irritation leads to such an inrush of divine power and grace? |
27514 | Why did I scarcely ever hear you name the_ name of Christ_? |
27514 | Why did the Roman Empire so swiftly capitulate to the claims of Christ? |
27514 | Why did you never urge me to_ faith in His blood_? |
27514 | Why should not a man be willing to be damned for others? |
27514 | Why? |
27514 | Will a time ever come, I wondered, when London will be as Heliopolis is? |
27514 | Will he live to discover them? |
27514 | Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? |
27514 | Will the Needle, in some future age, be erected in some new capital-- in the metropolis of To- morrow? |
27514 | Wooton, what must_ I_ do to be saved?'' |
27514 | Would Frank Bullen exercise that faith? |
27514 | Yet, after all, what did it matter? |
27514 | _ Does_ God require that man should do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Himself? |
27514 | _ God is----!__ God is-- what?_ He is----, But words are wanting to say what! |
27514 | _ Who_ all the dim way doth illume, And bids me look beyond the tomb The larger life to live? |
27514 | _ Who_ shares the burden wearisome? |
27514 | _ Who_ walks beside me in the gloom? |
27514 | he cries,''what shall I do? |
27514 | he exclaims,''knowing so little of_ the earth_, do you attempt to explore_ the moon_?'' |
27514 | we ask, in every burial service,''where is thy victory?'' |
27514 | we cry,''where is thy sting?'' |
9069 | Are they not ashamed,he said,"to search God with their palates or with their nose? |
9069 | But whom have you loved? 9069 Do we love anything,"he used to say to his friends,"except what is beautiful?" |
9069 | Have not the pontiffs, like the poets, a bearded Jupiter and a Mercury without beard?... 9069 If we are lost in your eyes, why follow us about? |
9069 | Immortal Paganism, art thou dead? 9069 Is it fit,"he said,"that a bishop should be a shipowner?... |
9069 | Mother,said Augustin,"do you not love truth? |
9069 | They pulled me,he says,"by the coat of my flesh, and they murmured in my ear-- What, are you leaving us? |
9069 | Where wert Thou then, O my God, while I looked for Thee? 9069 Why,"he cries--"Oh, why do you hesitate to give yourselves lest you should lose yourselves? |
9069 | --"I love the soul; how therefore should I not love them?" |
9069 | A bishop a torturer? |
9069 | After all, what are the rivalries of Marius and Sylla to us? |
9069 | Ah, when shall this be? |
9069 | Amid these controversies, where was the truth? |
9069 | Among whom did the Apostolic tradition dwell? |
9069 | And besides, in this resolution to exclude, what becomes of the great principle of Charity? |
9069 | And even supposing one might save them, retain an ever- uncertain enjoyment of them, was the life of the time really worth the trouble of living? |
9069 | And even supposing they were, can the fault of a single man be charged to the whole Church?... |
9069 | And even supposing, that in spite of all efforts to save it, the Empire is condemned, must we therefore despair? |
9069 | And his reason, which knows him well, answers:"Do you not then love your friends?" |
9069 | And then, what tragedy more stirring and painful than the crisis of soul and conscience which tore his life? |
9069 | And was not the Gospel ideal essentially more human than that of the pagan philosophers? |
9069 | And why this horror of meat? |
9069 | Are the old Saturn and the young Apollo so much the property of the poets that we do not see their statues too in the temples?..." |
9069 | Are they comfortable for listening? |
9069 | Are we to see in Donatism a nationalist or separatist movement directed against the Roman occupation? |
9069 | Augustin, breathless in the victorious embrace of Grace, panted:"How long, how long?... |
9069 | Boniface was quite capable of answering:"What are you interfering for? |
9069 | But can a humble and contrite heart thus take pleasure in human adulation? |
9069 | But may not this prohibition provoke husbands to kill their adulterous wives, so as to be free to take a new wife? |
9069 | But suddenly she shuddered, raised herself, and asked in a bewildered way:"Where was I?" |
9069 | But what matters that, when the continual miracle of his charity and his apostolate is considered? |
9069 | By dint of gazing at this, and listening to the praises of the great local author, did the young scholar become aware of his vocation? |
9069 | Can it surprise, then, if men so ignorant of high morality, and so deeply embedded in matter, were also plunged in the grossest superstitions? |
9069 | Could he leave his mother, his son, his brother, and his cousins? |
9069 | Could he manage to silence them at once? |
9069 | Did Augustin remember these things? |
9069 | Did Monnica observe anything of this change in Augustin? |
9069 | Did he wish to hint that at this time Augustin had glided into paganism? |
9069 | Did it grieve him very much to make up his mind to this exile? |
9069 | Did the mother of Adeodatus justify such attachment-- an attachment which was to last more than ten years? |
9069 | Did you not hear? |
9069 | Do not all agree that this is the highest stage of philosophy? |
9069 | Do they not follow some secret law?..." |
9069 | Does not the sleeper wake? |
9069 | Does this mean that he found there rich pavements, mosaics, and statues? |
9069 | For example: If a man cast off his wife under pretext of adultery, might he marry again? |
9069 | For what is it that I would say, O Lord my God, save that I know not whence I came hither into this dying life, shall I call it, or living death?... |
9069 | For what sing these poets even to weariness, unless it be that no one can resist the Cyprian goddess, that life has no other end but love? |
9069 | For whence, think you, do we implore God to drag us, so that we may be converted and gaze upon His face? |
9069 | For, in fact, to whom had he been entrusted? |
9069 | Give what? |
9069 | Had Augustin a hand in this reconciliation? |
9069 | Had Patricius ever seen the girl that he was going to take, according to custom, so as to have a child- bearer and housewife? |
9069 | Had not Christ said:"Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world"? |
9069 | Had that not been the proud desire of his youth? |
9069 | Has your ear betrayed you, or did you want to find out if I was still capable of judging these things?"... |
9069 | He said to himself:"Why desire the impossible? |
9069 | He seized Alypius roughly by the arm and cried out to him in extraordinary excitement:"What are we about? |
9069 | Henceforth, would he be allowed to live a little less as a bishop and a little more as a monk? |
9069 | How came it that he was taken in by Boniface? |
9069 | How can I hesitate after that to call myself your disciple?" |
9069 | How could an African woman, so much attached to her country, agree to be buried in a stranger soil? |
9069 | How could he control himself till then? |
9069 | How could he part with them? |
9069 | How did Augustin ever believe in the goodwill and good faith of this adventurer full of coarse passions, so far as to put his final hopes in him? |
9069 | How did Boniface take a letter which was, in the circumstances, so courageous? |
9069 | How did Monnica become the wife of Patricius? |
9069 | How did the poor creature who had been faithful to him during so many years feel at this ignominious dismissal? |
9069 | How was he to keep up his studies without the sums coming from his father? |
9069 | How was it possible to doubt that the entire revelation was contained in such beautiful books? |
9069 | How was it possible to exhort a victorious general to lay down his arms before the conquered? |
9069 | How was it that he who had always had such feeble health undertook at this age the long journey from Hippo to Cæsarea? |
9069 | How, indeed, could Augustin consent to take him from her? |
9069 | If he loved birds, as a poet who knows not that he is a poet, did he love as well to play at"nuts"? |
9069 | If it were otherwise, what was the good of the Redemption? |
9069 | If you were beaten there, why do you come here now? |
9069 | Immediately he put this question:"Why do those pauses come in the flow of the stream? |
9069 | Is he not an adulterer in the eyes of the Church? |
9069 | Is it forbidden to eat the meats consecrated to idols, even when a man or woman is dying of hunger? |
9069 | Is it not from that jakes of the senses wherein our souls are plunged, and from that darkness of which the error is around us?..." |
9069 | Is it wonderful that the Christian lessons of Monnica and the nurses at Thagaste became more and more blurred in Augustin''s mind? |
9069 | Is not her song, so harmonious, so suave, so well attuned to the season, the very voice of the spring?..." |
9069 | Is not the thought of bringing Him disciples enough to make us joyful? |
9069 | It is now that he wrote:"Tell me, does not the nightingale seem to you to modulate her voice delightfully? |
9069 | Just how far had Augustin dipped into them? |
9069 | May adultery be practised with a woman who promises in exchange to point out heretics?... |
9069 | May one enter into agreements with native camel- drivers and carriers who swear by their gods to keep the bargain? |
9069 | Might not his passions, which were so violent, begin to torment him again after this respite with greater frenzy than before his conversion? |
9069 | Need I name them to you? |
9069 | Now, how did it come about that this monstrous loot took on before the eyes of contemporaries the magnitude of a world- catastrophe? |
9069 | Now, why was this? |
9069 | Or did he lodge with his master, a grammarian, who kept a boarding- house for the boys? |
9069 | Or would not rather the struggle continue in the depths of his conscience? |
9069 | Pertinax himself, did he not begin as a simple teacher of grammar, and become Proconsul of Africa and then Emperor of Rome? |
9069 | Shall it not be, O my God, when we rise again among the dead...?" |
9069 | Shall we be no more with you, for ever? |
9069 | Shall we be no more with you, for ever? |
9069 | Should not these priests, then, in the very interest of the Church, save themselves for quieter times, and escape the persecution by flight? |
9069 | So what am I doing here?" |
9069 | Suppose he tried to submit to that, to bring the faith of his childhood into line with his ambitions as a young man of intellect? |
9069 | Then we turned to each other shuddering, and asked:''How much longer can this last?''..." |
9069 | Then what was left to do since truth was unapproachable? |
9069 | Then why do you baptize the Catholics under the pretence that their priests are_ traditors_ and as such unworthy to administer the Sacraments? |
9069 | Then why should I blush to give you a place among us? |
9069 | This unheard- of grace-- would it be granted to him? |
9069 | To reign in a little corner of the world-- did Christ die for that? |
9069 | To whom did he not write?... |
9069 | To- morrow and to- morrow?... |
9069 | Was Augustin, who still thought of becoming an official, going to mix in with this lot of swindlers, assassins, and brute beasts? |
9069 | Was Aurelius his family name? |
9069 | Was he at last to have a chance to rest himself, with the only rest suitable to a soul like his, in a steady meditation and study of the Scriptures? |
9069 | Was he going to bury all that in a little town? |
9069 | Was he going to do as the Emperor-- remain in the circus taken up with idle pleasures, while others took the road to the sole happiness? |
9069 | Was it a nursery- rhyme that the little children of the countryside used to sing? |
9069 | Was it indeed the country bishop, or rather the rhetorician Augustin who, in a burst of gratitude, hit upon this sublime sentence? |
9069 | Was it not possible to reconcile them? |
9069 | Was it possible?... |
9069 | Was it really the end of the world, or only the end of a world?... |
9069 | Was it that he lacked the gift of teaching? |
9069 | Was not this as much as to say that the others belonged to the dissenters? |
9069 | Was she pretty, rich, or poor? |
9069 | Was this a good time to make a noisy profession of faith, to be enrolled among the ranks of the conquered party? |
9069 | Was this the reason that he dealt softly with the native tribes, so as to make certain of their help in case of a conflict with the Imperial army? |
9069 | Well, might not the same thing happen if some soldier were to ask you to dinner and obliged you to drink more than is wise? |
9069 | What advantage was there in being Christian if they had the same treatment as the idolaters? |
9069 | What could be Monnica''s feelings towards a woman who was not even a daughter- in- law and was regarded by her as an intruder? |
9069 | What counts a woman before Rome and Carthage? |
9069 | What else? |
9069 | What greater destiny? |
9069 | What matters that, if even in this excess he aims solely at the welfare of souls-- to edify them and set them aglow with the fire of his charity? |
9069 | What more could they have wanted? |
9069 | What must have been the parting between the child Adeodatus and his mother? |
9069 | What was all that to the prize of wisdom? |
9069 | What was going to become of him in the great, unknown city? |
9069 | What was he going to do? |
9069 | What was he to do? |
9069 | What was not related about the abominations committed in the mysteries of those people? |
9069 | What was the good of keeping up a useless and dangerous resistance? |
9069 | What was the use of giving up the illusory realities of the senses, if it were not to get hold of more_ solid_ realities? |
9069 | What was there to do against brutal strength? |
9069 | What was this refrain? |
9069 | What was to prevent his taking his son and going off? |
9069 | What''s the use? |
9069 | What, in fact, was the most celebrated rhetorician compared to a bishop-- protector of cities, counsellor of emperors, representative of God on earth? |
9069 | What, indeed, was he seeking, unless it were to capture this"blessed life"which he had pursued so long? |
9069 | What, then, would become of evangelic truth if in such a place the Apostle had lied? |
9069 | When a grammarian talked thus, what could have been the thoughts of agricultural labourers, city workmen, and slaves? |
9069 | When shall I appear before His face?" |
9069 | When shall I be as the swallow? |
9069 | When shall I cease to be silent?... |
9069 | Where to place it? |
9069 | Whither lift it up? |
9069 | Who was this friend? |
9069 | Who, then, were these terrible Donatists whom we have been continually striking against since the beginning of this history? |
9069 | Why do not the dying make it their heir? |
9069 | Why does the whiteness of lettuce proclaim to them the Divinity, and the whiteness of cream nothing at all? |
9069 | Why not now? |
9069 | Why not this hour make an end of my vileness?..." |
9069 | Why should he thus put off his return to Africa, he who was so anxious to fly the world? |
9069 | Why? |
9069 | Without him, what was going to become of her? |
9069 | Would he have to go back home? |
9069 | Yes, I say, what are we about? |
9069 | You allow me to pass two summers-- and two African summers!--in such thirst?... |
9069 | _ Non erimus tecum ultra in aeternum?_..."What a dismal sound in these syllables, and how terrifying for a timid soul! |
9069 | is this man, all bloody with a murder in his conscience, to walk about for eight days in white robes as a model of innocence and purity?" |
9069 | was Catholicism to become an African religion, a restricted sect, wretchedly tied to the letter of tradition, to the exterior practices of worship? |
43794 | And do you remember the words,''If thine enemy hunger, feed him...''? |
43794 | And the military regulation, do you know anything about that? |
43794 | Have you read the New Testament? |
43794 | Is it a sin to punish a criminal with death according to the law, or to kill an enemy in war? 43794 No,"he replied,"there is nothing like it; but tell me, do the Christians obey this law?" |
43794 | What does God forbid by this commandment? 43794 What would become of commerce?" |
43794 | Why, then, do they print untrue explanations contrary to the law? |
43794 | Yes; why do you ask? |
43794 | _ For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost whether he have sufficient to finish it? 43794 _ Judge not_;"does not this mean, Institute no tribunals for the judgment of your neighbor? |
43794 | _ Question._--Is all manslaughter a transgression of the law? 43794 _ Question._--What does the sixth commandment forbid? |
43794 | _ What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man believe he hath faith, but hath not works? 43794 _ Which of you convicteth me of sin? |
43794 | ( If no one but the boy had brought anything, how could so much have been left after so many were fed?) |
43794 | 29),"_ And who is my neighbor?_"it is plain that he did not regard the Samaritan as such. |
43794 | After this clear interpretation, what was I to understand by the comment,"be reconciled in idea"? |
43794 | Ah, yes; but did not Jesus and his disciples practise just such fanaticism as this? |
43794 | All the theologians discuss the commandments of Jesus; but what are these commandments? |
43794 | And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? |
43794 | And now is not the question settled as to whether a Christian may or may not go to war? |
43794 | And what if these others were themselves wicked and cast the innocent into prison? |
43794 | And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? |
43794 | And yet did this same Jesus formally teach men not to be angry"without a cause,"and thereby sanction anger for a cause? |
43794 | As the words came to be understood exclusively in this sense, a difficulty arose,--How to refrain from judgment? |
43794 | Asked,"Who is this son of man?" |
43794 | Be not angry without cause? |
43794 | But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? |
43794 | But in what way? |
43794 | But is it so in reality? |
43794 | But is the disciple of the world in a more desirable situation? |
43794 | But perhaps these two words are used as synonyms in the Gospels? |
43794 | But possibly this existence is in itself attractive? |
43794 | But was his teaching in this respect true? |
43794 | But what is the condition of those men who live according to the doctrine of the world? |
43794 | But where were the righteous? |
43794 | But who is to decide when anger is expedient and when it is not expedient? |
43794 | But who will give me the strength to practise it, to follow it without ceasing, and never to fail? |
43794 | But why is life so full of evil? |
43794 | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? |
43794 | Could anything be more clear, more definite, more intelligible than that? |
43794 | Could the idea be expressed in terms more clear and precise? |
43794 | Did Jesus sanction courts of justice, or did he not? |
43794 | Do they turn the other cheek?" |
43794 | Do you say that the doctrine of Jesus,"_ Resist not evil_,"is vain? |
43794 | Does it not forbid us to take the oath indispensable to the assembling of men into political groups and the formation of a military caste? |
43794 | Even a dog, if he be useful, is fed and cared for; and shall not a man be fed and cared for whose service is necessary to the whole world? |
43794 | Fanaticism, do you say? |
43794 | For a solution of the questions, What am I? |
43794 | For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? |
43794 | For what, according to the general estimate, are the principal conditions of earthly happiness? |
43794 | Further on we read:--"_ Question._--With regard to manslaughter, when is the law transgressed? |
43794 | Have we never heard that it is far more to our advantage to endure difficulties and privations than to satisfy all our desires? |
43794 | He asked his disciples whom men said that he was-- the son of man? |
43794 | How could Jesus avoid denouncing that law? |
43794 | How could it be said that Jesus did not perceive this evil when he forbade it in clear, direct, and circumstantial terms? |
43794 | How could we express more clearly the saying of Jesus and his apostle? |
43794 | How is it possible that the law of Jesus should harmonize with the law of Moses? |
43794 | How shall I persuade a man to toil in return for food and clothing if this man is persuaded that he already possesses great riches? |
43794 | How then shall I, who can not save, become a judge and punish? |
43794 | How was it then, that believing or trying to believe these to be the words of God, I still maintained the impossibility of obeying them? |
43794 | How, then, can we object to the doctrine of Jesus, that those who practise it by working for others will perish for want of food? |
43794 | How, then, can we understand the doctrine of Jesus? |
43794 | How, then, could a man judge and condemn when his religion commanded him to forgive all trespasses, without limit? |
43794 | I knew all that from my childhood; but why had I failed to understand aright these simple words? |
43794 | If Chrysostom had understood the law of Jesus, he would have said, Who is it that strikes out another''s eyes? |
43794 | If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?_"( John viii. |
43794 | If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? |
43794 | In what, then, does the rest of Jesus''doctrine consist? |
43794 | Is it impossible to lighten this heavy load that weighs me down? |
43794 | Is it not the act of a madman to labor at what, under any circumstances, one can never finish? |
43794 | Is it possible that there was not one such? |
43794 | Is my conclusion a foolish one? |
43794 | Is not the whole system like a great prison where each inmate is restricted to association with a few fellow- convicts? |
43794 | It being impossible not to condemn evil, all the commentators discussed the question, What is blamable and what is not blamable? |
43794 | It seemed to me that there must be a defect in the translation, and an erroneous exegesis; but where was the source of the error? |
43794 | Let each man endowed with reason ask himself, What is life? |
43794 | May I not abstain from taking part therein? |
43794 | No civilized man in the vanguard of progress is able to give any reply now to the direct questions,"Why do you lead the life that you do lead? |
43794 | On page 163 of this book I read:--"What is the sixth commandment of God? |
43794 | Or is it to be certain that my piece of bread only belongs to me when I know that every one else has a share, and that no one starves while I eat? |
43794 | Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? |
43794 | Recall to mind the rich men and women whom you have known; are not most of them invalids? |
43794 | Shall not men care for those whose labor they find necessary? |
43794 | Should I die in following the doctrine of Jesus? |
43794 | Should I say this without having made the slightest effort of my own to obey? |
43794 | Should I then say of God''s commandment that I could not obey it without the aid of a supernatural power? |
43794 | Since life is given to me, why should I deprive myself of it? |
43794 | The Church retains its dogmas, but what are its dogmas worth? |
43794 | The Jews said to Jesus:"_ What signs shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? |
43794 | The Pharisees, we are told, constituted a sect; where, then, were the righteous? |
43794 | There remained one more resource-- was the word to be found in all the manuscripts? |
43794 | This method was many times referred to by Jesus; thus he said,"_ What is written in the law? |
43794 | Thus, the question, What must I do to believe? |
43794 | To Peter''s question,"_ What shall we receive?_"Jesus replies with the parable of the laborers in the vineyard( Matt. |
43794 | To be able to reply to the question, Which of these two conditions is the happier? |
43794 | Up to this time( I said), what have been the practical results of the doctrine of Jesus as I understand it? |
43794 | Upon what, then, is based the opinion that divorce is permissible in case of infidelity on the part of the woman? |
43794 | Was Nicodemus the only one? |
43794 | Was it possible that the doctrine of Jesus admitted of such contradiction? |
43794 | Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? |
43794 | Was not this fire kindled that men might have the felicity of salvation? |
43794 | Was the revelation from God really so simple-- nothing but that? |
43794 | Was this the intention of Jesus? |
43794 | We are moving onward, but to what goal? |
43794 | We know how to interpret the signs of the weather; why, then, do we not see what is before us? |
43794 | We read, and are thrilled with a divine emotion; but which of us is willing to accept the truth here unfolded as the veritable secret of life? |
43794 | What does it all mean? |
43794 | What is the law of nature? |
43794 | What is the meaning of this? |
43794 | What ought I to do, to live like the rest of the world, or to live according to the doctrine of Jesus? |
43794 | What ought I to do? |
43794 | What would be the result if the faith of men in these commandments were as strong as their faith in the requirements of the Church? |
43794 | What, then, are we to do? |
43794 | What, then, are we to say to all this? |
43794 | What, then, is the purport of this phrase? |
43794 | What, then, must I do if I alone understand the doctrine of Jesus, and I alone have trust in it among a people who neither understand it nor obey it? |
43794 | Who were they that rejected the doctrine of Jesus and, their High Priests at their head, crucified him? |
43794 | Why do you abandon agriculture, which you love, for work in factories and mills, which you despise? |
43794 | Why do you bring up your children in a way that will force them to lead an existence which you find worthless? |
43794 | Why do you do this?" |
43794 | Why do you establish the conditions that you do establish?" |
43794 | Why had I always sought for some ulterior meaning? |
43794 | Why have you expended, and why do you still expend, an enormous sum of human energy in the construction of useless and unhealthful cities? |
43794 | Why should I toil for bread when I can be rich without labor? |
43794 | Why should I trouble myself to live this life according to the will of God when I am sure of a personal life for all eternity? |
43794 | Why should not a doctrine seem impracticable, when we have suppressed its fundamental proposition? |
43794 | Why so much wrong- doing? |
43794 | Why so? |
43794 | Why so? |
43794 | Why? |
43794 | Will any one, then, be offended if I tell the story of how all this came about? |
43794 | Would there be great trials to endure? |
43794 | Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? |
43794 | Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?_"( Luke xii. |
43794 | [ 14] Is it not folly to trouble ourselves about a thing that we can not possibly accomplish? |
43794 | and What is death? |
43794 | and what degree of mischief would not then come revelling upon the whole of human life? |
43794 | can that faith save him? |
43794 | do not even the publicans so? |
43794 | do not even the publicans the same? |
43794 | how readest thou?_"( Luke x. |
43794 | is his demand if he be a merchant;"What of civilization, if I cease to work for it, and seek only to better my own condition?" |
43794 | what dost thou work?_"( John vi. |
43794 | what ought I to do? |
43794 | who is it that casts men into prison? |
43794 | would not cities, market- places and houses, sea and land, and the whole world have been filled with unnumbered pollutions and murders? |
28464 | But,you may say,"shall evil go unpunished? |
28464 | Did one ever hear of such a thing,they might exclaim,"as children born of God? |
28464 | Oh yes,you say,"but where would we be then?" |
28464 | Who is weak, and I am not weak? |
28464 | 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? |
28464 | 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? |
28464 | 21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? |
28464 | 22 Are they Hebrews? |
28464 | 23 Are they ministers of Christ? |
28464 | 24 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? |
28464 | 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? |
28464 | 30 Howbeit what saith the scripture? |
28464 | 32. Who revealed to Peter the nature of Christ''s thoughts upon the cross? |
28464 | 35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? |
28464 | 5 And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? |
28464 | 55 O death, where is thy victory? |
28464 | 6 They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? |
28464 | 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilæans? |
28464 | 8 And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born? |
28464 | 9. Who can prevent our office being vilified? |
28464 | Again, when you see one living in great splendor, in pleasure and presumption, following his own inclinations, think thus:"What has he? |
28464 | And again,"Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone?" |
28464 | And it is just and right, for why did we not honor the Gospel by accepting and preserving it? |
28464 | And must this mighty apostle, O merciful God, be subject to trials lest he exalt himself because of his great revelations? |
28464 | And what can it harm me to suffer when I know it is God''s will? |
28464 | And what is the extent of his forgiveness? |
28464 | And who knows but it may, in the Greek, have been altered to harmonize with Galatians 5, 22, where Paul speaks of the"fruit of the Spirit"? |
28464 | And why should we complain? |
28464 | Are they Israelites? |
28464 | Are they the seed of Abraham? |
28464 | Are they to hear his Word? |
28464 | Are we to live utterly idle, practically dead? |
28464 | Are you mad or foolish?" |
28464 | But how are we born? |
28464 | But how are we to flee the world? |
28464 | But how does Paul make this text prove the resurrection of Christ? |
28464 | But how is indifference to this life to be accomplished? |
28464 | But in the case of one who endorses and honors the Gospel, observe Paul''s comment( Rom 14, 4):"Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? |
28464 | But tell me, where do the Scriptures speak thus of Christians? |
28464 | But what are we to do? |
28464 | But what cause has Paul at heart that he dares so boldly condemn the judgment of these exalted officials? |
28464 | But what does Paul teach? |
28464 | But what does the resurrection advantage us? |
28464 | But what is the significance of Paul''s phrase"with grace"? |
28464 | But what is the use of multiplying words on the subject when the evil prevails to such extent as to be common custom in the land? |
28464 | But what manner of love has God manifested toward us? |
28464 | But where is this perfect man, and what is his name? |
28464 | But where would be forthcoming a sermon forcible enough to restrain the shameful sottishness and the drink devil among us? |
28464 | But who can fully portray this blind, perverted, abominable folly? |
28464 | But who is vigilant enough to elude such knavery and to make the children of the devil honest? |
28464 | But who would care to recount the full extent of this vice in all dealings and interests of the world between man and man? |
28464 | But you may say:"What? |
28464 | Can you locate the failure of such an individual? |
28464 | Christ testifies( Jn 5, 44),"How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?" |
28464 | Could I be said to suffer innocently if I am obliged to confess I am well treated? |
28464 | Dear man, what but his own blindness can lead him to such a conclusion? |
28464 | Did they but regard it, what need have they of books, teachers or laws? |
28464 | Do not even wicked knaves and opposers of Christians often suffer at the hands of one another what they are not pleased to endure? |
28464 | Do you ask, What is the great necessity therefor? |
28464 | Do you imagine yourself able to endure that wrath of God, or to withstand it if you will not consider this and accept it? |
28464 | Do you wish to have assurance of eternal life? |
28464 | For what could they benefit if one possessed not the Word of salvation and eternal life? |
28464 | God says in Isaiah 66, 1- 2:"What manner of house will ye build unto me?... |
28464 | Had he been mere man, what would have been the occasion for saying that he became like a man and was found in the fashion of other men? |
28464 | Has a king of David''s glorious rank occasion to speak thus? |
28464 | He says( 1 Tim 3, 5):"If a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?" |
28464 | How and from what was creation effected when there was nothing to start with? |
28464 | How can it be otherwise when they who should restrain and punish commit the same sins themselves? |
28464 | How can one be under obligation when he does not, and can not, possess anything? |
28464 | How can one whom the fire of heavenly love and grace can not melt, be rendered cheerfully obedient by laws and threats? |
28464 | How can there be unity of mind concerning spiritual offices and blessings with people so at variance upon trivial, contemptible worldly matters? |
28464 | How can these Corinthians be as true, unleavened wafers, or sweet dough, when they have yet to purge out the old leaven? |
28464 | How can they pray one for another who feel no interest in a neighbor''s wants, who rather are enemies, entertaining no good will toward one another? |
28464 | How can we be dead and at the same time risen? |
28464 | How can we live here with wives and children, houses and lands, and being citizens under a temporal government, and yet not be at home? |
28464 | How can we make the two claims harmonize? |
28464 | How could Christ approve such malice? |
28464 | How could he speak plainer and more forcibly? |
28464 | How could he utter anything more severe, more terrifying? |
28464 | How does the offering of a penny compare with that of the body? |
28464 | How else should we gentiles get the idea of cakes on Easter, when at our Passover we, by faith, eat the Paschal Lamb, Christ? |
28464 | How is a dead man profited, however much life may be preached to him, if that preaching does not make him live? |
28464 | How is it consistent with royal citizenship in a celestial country to be a pilgrim on earth? |
28464 | How is it possible to reconcile these seeming inconsistencies? |
28464 | How is it, then, Paul speaks as if faith without love were possible? |
28464 | How is that? |
28464 | How is this paradox to be explained? |
28464 | How shall we who are dead to sin live any longer therein? |
28464 | How should he do otherwise, knowing that his persecutors treated him unjustly and yet maintained the contrary? |
28464 | How will it compare with the death and shed blood of the Son of God, with the power of his resurrection? |
28464 | How will it divide honors with him in having merit to secure remission of sin and redemption from death? |
28464 | How will you fare with God if you do not love your neighbor? |
28464 | How would this read,"I am signified by a spiritual vine"? |
28464 | I will behave peculiarly, smashing windows and turning things upside down, for this is not my abiding- place"? |
28464 | If it is not too humble to be honored with his presence, why should we his servants not honor it? |
28464 | In the text Paul deals with the question, How are the dead raised, and with what body do they come? |
28464 | Is it merely a doctrine of words, or one of life and operating power? |
28464 | Is it not wonderfully comforting to the beggar to have servants and lovers of such honor? |
28464 | Is not this a superior, a noble, commandment, which completely levels the most unequal individuals? |
28464 | Is that what you mean, Paul, when you say we are not to seek the things of earth, though all these are essentially incident to life? |
28464 | Is the truth not to be preached at all? |
28464 | It is said of them( Ps 14, 4- 5):"Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon Jehovah?" |
28464 | Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? |
28464 | Must we be silent and permit all mankind to go direct to hell? |
28464 | Now, how could God have pointed you to an example dearer, more pleasing and more to the purpose than this example-- the deep instinct of your nature? |
28464 | Now, how was it with them? |
28464 | Now, if you yield to him, suffering yourself to be seduced, what will it profit you to boast of the Gospel faith? |
28464 | Now, since God has so greatly blessed you as to make you his own begotten children, shall he not also give you every other good? |
28464 | Now, what is the process of the life and death mentioned? |
28464 | Now, who is to judge and decide the question? |
28464 | O death, where is thy sting? |
28464 | One hundred years ago, what were you and I and all men now living but absolutely nothing? |
28464 | Or of what use is it to preach righteousness to a sinner if he remain in sin? |
28464 | Paul would say:"What will you do, beloved Christians? |
28464 | Paul''s admonition begins:"Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?" |
28464 | Shall he be their God? |
28464 | Shall they believe? |
28464 | Similarly, also:"What unto me is the multitude of your sacrifices? |
28464 | Such a course is essential to the honor of God and the salvation of souls; for if the truth were to be ignored, who would come to God? |
28464 | Tell me, what would you think of such a one? |
28464 | The test is, are we risen in Christ-- is his resurrection effective in us? |
28464 | Then how should others, how should such infirm beings as we, be free from self- exaltation? |
28464 | Therefore, James says:"Why trouble yourselves about earthly blessings, which though God- given are transitory? |
28464 | We read in a book of the ancient fathers that on a certain occasion of their assembling, the question was raised, which is really the noblest work? |
28464 | What are death, the devil and all creatures as a match for Christ? |
28464 | What are the means and process the Spirit employs to change and renew the heart? |
28464 | What are we to do? |
28464 | What are we to understand here? |
28464 | What can be said for us? |
28464 | What can it advantage me for them to burn eternally in hell? |
28464 | What can you say to the fact that Christ the Lord is, himself, with us on earth? |
28464 | What greater love and blessing could be shown? |
28464 | What human heart would not melt at the joy- inspiring thought? |
28464 | What injury can the world render, what help can it offer, so long as you hold the treasure of the Word? |
28464 | What is a slight injury or the loss of some temporal blessing in comparison with these? |
28464 | What is meant here? |
28464 | What is the need of further inquiry and investigation or discussion of this theme? |
28464 | What is the sum of all suffering and misfortune compared to this light? |
28464 | What is their theory? |
28464 | What matters to us the insignificance of the seat the Lord chooses? |
28464 | What meaneth this? |
28464 | What more can we do? |
28464 | What more could be desired? |
28464 | What more would one, or could one, offer than himself, all he is and all he has? |
28464 | What shall we say to these things? |
28464 | What sort of foolish, perverted individuals are they who so teach? |
28464 | What would be the result were all evil to be tolerated and covered up? |
28464 | What, according to the world''s construction, is implied by the statement,"Whatsoever is begotten[ born] of God overcometh the world?" |
28464 | What, then, is the teaching of the commandment? |
28464 | Whence, then, do you derive sonship? |
28464 | Where would be the sense in my saying to you,"You are like a man, are made in the fashion of a man, and take upon yourself the form of a servant"? |
28464 | Where would the wealthy and powerful be if there were no poor and humble? |
28464 | Where, then, does Paul stand, who says( Rom 3, 31):"Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? |
28464 | Who could be worthy such service from such a one? |
28464 | Who could or would heap upon himself the guilt of such negligence? |
28464 | Who ever heard of weak strength? |
28464 | Who is so daring and haughty he will not be restrained and humbled by so remarkable an example of divine judgment? |
28464 | Who would have thought to find so much precious virtue and power ascribed by Paul to this one excellence as counterpart of so much that is evil? |
28464 | Who would not shrink from occupying the uppermost seat and from lording it over others when he sees the Son of God humble and eliminate himself? |
28464 | Who would not suppose the Holy Spirit to dwell visibly where such wisdom, such discernment of the Scriptures, is present? |
28464 | Why does he so? |
28464 | Why not much rather rejoice in the comforting prospect of the great heavenly blessings already abundantly yours and which can not be taken from you?" |
28464 | Why should Paul reverse the seemingly proper order? |
28464 | Why, then, did the Jews persecute and crucify him-- put him to death? |
28464 | Why, then, need you take any account of the world, and anything it may do, whether good or evil? |
28464 | Why, then, should I be impatient or desire revenge? |
28464 | Why, then, should you complain of your suffering or refuse to suffer what your sins really deserve? |
28464 | Why, then, yield to the devil, allowing yourself to be robbed of salvation and eternal life? |
28464 | Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves? |
28464 | Will you live in the world and not encounter any persecution because of your good deeds? |
28464 | Will you rage at the wickedness of the world, and in your rage become wicked yourself and commit evil? |
28464 | Would it not encourage them in their wickedness until life would not be safe to anyone?" |
28464 | Would not that be giving the wicked opportunity to carry out their evil designs? |
28464 | Would not that be the natural rejoinder to such a foolish statement? |
28464 | Yes, and have we not further reason for checking the evil when even the young practice it without fear or shame? |
28464 | Yes, what would be his judgment of those who in public preaching clinch and claw, attack and calumniate each other? |
28464 | and that he assumed the form of a servant though he was in form divine? |
28464 | and with what manner of body do they come? |
28464 | or more absurd still, that strength is increased by weakness? |
28464 | or to an erring, factious individual if he forsake not his error and his darkness? |
28464 | or to have instruction enabling me rightly to interpret a single psalm? |
28464 | that to his sores and wounds are subject the crown of wealth and the sweet savor of royal splendor? |
28464 | who is caused to stumble, and I burn not? |
28464 | wonderful that his poverty commands the services of a king in his opulence? |
20731 | But,you say,"how shall I_ know_ I have this power?" |
20731 | Could I see him? |
20731 | Deny himself--what does that mean? |
20731 | Does the preacher from up the north way stop here? |
20731 | Hmm-- does our law judge a man without giving him a fair hearing? |
20731 | How are you getting along? |
20731 | Is that so? 20731 Let me see, did you subtract that...?" |
20731 | What''s the matter? |
20731 | Would you like to go back the earth and win him? |
20731 | _ Take up his cross_--what does that mean? |
20731 | A harvest of the fruit of the spirit-- love, joy, peace, long- suffering; a harvest of souls? |
20731 | After all the home- life comes close to being the real test of power, does it not? |
20731 | And ability? |
20731 | And so I thought I would just ask the friends here to- day very frankly,"What kind of Christians are you?" |
20731 | And some kind friend told you not to wait for feeling, but to trust, and that when you did that, the light came? |
20731 | And what is force? |
20731 | And yet what more natural and proper, both for him and for us? |
20731 | And you hesitate? |
20731 | Are their names clear to your minds? |
20731 | Are you conscious of the fullness of His love and power-- conscious enough to know how much there is beyond of which you are not conscious? |
20731 | Are you thirsty? |
20731 | Are you thirsty? |
20731 | Are you? |
20731 | As he entered the house he met the minister in charge of the mission church, where the family attended, and asked him,"Was Mary a christian?" |
20731 | As we walked along, chatting away, I asked him quietly,"Are you a christian, sir?" |
20731 | Ask any mother here: Would you not gladly suffer pain in place of your child suffering if you could? |
20731 | But I ask you frankly, honestly now, as I ask myself anew, what kind are you? |
20731 | But a true follower of Jesus never lives down upon the plane of"what''s- the- harm?" |
20731 | But he thought he met the Master, who looked into his face, and said,"Hugh, do you remember, I asked you to speak to Dutchy?" |
20731 | But how may one know surely about the wrong thing? |
20731 | But is it not the true word here? |
20731 | But is it not true? |
20731 | But near by sits a burly Pharisee, who turns sharply around and, glaring savagely at Nicodemus, says sneeringly:"Who are you? |
20731 | But perhaps some one is saying,"Have not we all received the Holy Spirit if we are christians?" |
20731 | But someone asks,"How shall I know what-- whom, to obey? |
20731 | But they are less important than this other question: Where are they as touching_ Him_? |
20731 | But to- night the great question is: Have you turned the channel of power-- your personality-- over to Him to be flushed and flooded with His power? |
20731 | But when I had studied and read them repeatedly I found myself asking-- what is life? |
20731 | But you say,"Is that all?" |
20731 | But_ do_ we understand it in our_ experience_? |
20731 | Can you think of such persons in your own circle? |
20731 | Can you? |
20731 | Could a more unlikely person have been used? |
20731 | Did he say that? |
20731 | Did it not? |
20731 | Do some of us still hesitate at this forking of the roads, irresolute? |
20731 | Do they not? |
20731 | Do we not_ know_ enough now?" |
20731 | Do you come from Galilee, too? |
20731 | Do you know if that describes you? |
20731 | Do you know the peculiar delight there is in winning the fellow by your side, the girl in your social circle, to Jesus Christ? |
20731 | Do you know? |
20731 | Do you love this Book like that? |
20731 | Do you recognize the individual inside of you that Jesus is speaking of? |
20731 | Do you remember his"fruit of the Spirit"? |
20731 | Do you remember saying something like that when you were urged to take Jesus as your Savior? |
20731 | Do you remember that heart- to- heart talk that Jesus had with the eleven disciples that last night they spent together in the upper room? |
20731 | Do you remember that wondrous Olivet scene? |
20731 | Do you think his eyes are dull, or his cheeks hollow and pale? |
20731 | Do you think not? |
20731 | Do you? |
20731 | Do you_ know_ what kind of a christian you are? |
20731 | Do_ we_ know? |
20731 | Do_ you_ know? |
20731 | Do_ you_ know? |
20731 | Does it not too bring one yet nearer to Him? |
20731 | Does n''t it seem queer? |
20731 | Does that not parallel remarkably the wilderness experience? |
20731 | Does that sound rather hard? |
20731 | Does the Holy Spirit have freeness of sway in you? |
20731 | For some hidden selfish purpose, like Simon of Samaria, of which you are perhaps only half conscious, so subtly does it lurk underneath? |
20731 | For the rare enjoyment of ecstatic moods? |
20731 | Has He been able to do that with you? |
20731 | Has He not done His best? |
20731 | Has He tried to use you_ like that_? |
20731 | Has prayer become to you like that? |
20731 | Has there been a flood- tide in your heart, a filling up from above until the blessed stream had to find an outlet somewhere, and produce a harvest? |
20731 | Has there been a harvest in your life? |
20731 | Have you ever seen a flood? |
20731 | Have you noticed how Jesus Himself puts His ideal for the day- by- day life? |
20731 | Have you noticed that the old earth receives a fresh baptism of life daily? |
20731 | Have you sometimes wished you could have a few minutes of quiet talk with Jesus? |
20731 | Have you turned your personality over to Him as completely as that? |
20731 | He asks:"Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed?" |
20731 | How do you know_ any_thing? |
20731 | How may one who has been willing to go thus far in these talks go a step further and have power in actual_ conscious_ possession? |
20731 | How often has He turned away disappointed because the channel had broken connections, or could not be used? |
20731 | How shall we have power, abundant, life- giving, sweetening our own lives, and changing those we touch? |
20731 | I am going to wait a few moments in silence while you recall them to mind, if you will-- Can you see their faces? |
20731 | I wonder if the Master has ever tried to use your lips like that, and you have refused? |
20731 | I wonder what we do do? |
20731 | I wonder what you and I would have done? |
20731 | If He waited for that experience before venturing upon any service, shall not you and I? |
20731 | If there is_ one_ person here to- night who ever had such a conception, will you kindly cut it out of your imagination at once? |
20731 | If you are not thirsty for the Master''s power, are you thirsty to be made thirsty? |
20731 | If_ they_ needed such a command, do not we? |
20731 | In actual experience the reverse of this is, shall I say too much if I say,_ most commonly_ the case? |
20731 | Is it attractive because of the power in it of_ His_ presence? |
20731 | Is it hard to tell why? |
20731 | Is it my own preference or enjoyment? |
20731 | Is not that a terrific arraignment? |
20731 | Is not that startling? |
20731 | Is not that woman another illustration of that name Comforter? |
20731 | Is not that wonderful? |
20731 | Is not this glorious unity in diversity? |
20731 | Is that mere rhetoric? |
20731 | Is that so with you? |
20731 | Is that so? |
20731 | Is that the kind_ you_ are? |
20731 | Is that the one purpose in your heart in desiring power? |
20731 | Is that the reason you have so little power with God, and for God? |
20731 | Is that the sort of christian_ you_ are? |
20731 | Is there a growing up of those four things within you by His grace? |
20731 | Is there a yearning down in your heart for something you have not? |
20731 | Is there still a fixed purpose to follow Jesus without regard to what it may cost us, or where the keen edge of separation may cut in? |
20731 | Is there still a fixed purpose? |
20731 | Is there still a_ fixed purpose_ to follow regardless of what meaning these words may yet disclose? |
20731 | Is there still some need in your life for the other desirable traits? |
20731 | It has an interrogation point constantly on sentinel duty, namely, What will_ they_ think? |
20731 | Let me ask if He, very God of very God, yet in His earthly life intensely human, needed that anointing, do not we? |
20731 | Let me ask very reverently, but very plainly: Is it God''s fault? |
20731 | Let me ask you-- Are you thirsty for power? |
20731 | Let me ask you-- what is power? |
20731 | Let me ask: Does that describe your friends? |
20731 | Let me ask: Is_ He_ to blame? |
20731 | Like this racing, turbulent, muddy Jordan? |
20731 | May I ask you very kindly, but very plainly, are you like that? |
20731 | May I ask, have you any personal acquaintance with some of these qualities? |
20731 | May we take just another look at that name--_The Comforter_--as we close our talk together? |
20731 | My friend, have you received this promised power? |
20731 | My friend, will you ask your heart, has the Holy Spirit gotten possession of you like that? |
20731 | No? |
20731 | Now I ask you:_ Who_ is to blame? |
20731 | Now let me ask very frankly why have we not all such power for our Master as she? |
20731 | Now why take so much time speaking about all that? |
20731 | Now why take time to speak about these things to- night when we are talking about power? |
20731 | Or, have you been holding back from Him, fearing He might make some changes in you or your plans? |
20731 | Or, is it to please and honor Jesus? |
20731 | Or, this-- to the right? |
20731 | Pastors do not all agree: churches are not quite agreed on some matters: my best friends think differently: how shall I know?" |
20731 | Perhaps some one would say,"Just what do you mean?" |
20731 | Shall I use a plainer, though uglier, word-- his cowardice? |
20731 | Shall we bow in silence a few moments and settle the matter, each of us, with the Master direct? |
20731 | Shall we bow our heads and offer that prayer, and hew close to that line, steadily, faithfully? |
20731 | Shall we not go along with Him? |
20731 | Shall we take these keys, and this key- ring and use them faithfully? |
20731 | That you may be able to move men? |
20731 | They have all become christians?" |
20731 | This purpose: of asking you one question-- whose fault is it? |
20731 | WHEREIN HAVE WE ROBBED GOD? |
20731 | Was not that a real practical presence of the great God with them all those days? |
20731 | Was there ever such a list? |
20731 | We were talking one day about this very thing and I recall saying:"Do you really believe that what the Bible says about these people can be true? |
20731 | Well, I guess it describes us all, does it not? |
20731 | What are some of the cross- currents that threaten to draw the power of the feed- wire? |
20731 | What do they mean? |
20731 | What does he do? |
20731 | What is affection? |
20731 | What is energy? |
20731 | What is life? |
20731 | What is light? |
20731 | What is love? |
20731 | What is power? |
20731 | What is the first great essential? |
20731 | What is the plan for that? |
20731 | What is the price of power? |
20731 | What is this self in each of us that Jesus sets in such antagonism to Himself, and instructs us to say a hard, uncompromising, unceasing"no"to? |
20731 | What is your life weaving out? |
20731 | What will_ they_ say? |
20731 | What would you expect of a friend of Jesus under such circumstances? |
20731 | What_ was_ Jesus''mission? |
20731 | When, one morning as thousands of heads peep out, the cloud is seen to have lifted up from over the tent, the next question was-- which direction? |
20731 | Where are these four friends? |
20731 | Where are they as regards the best life here, and the longer life beyond this one? |
20731 | Where did you get that marvelous mother- heart and mother- love? |
20731 | Which road do you choose to- night: this-- to the left? |
20731 | Who is there here that has continued in all the words of the book of this law to do them? |
20731 | Who is to blame? |
20731 | Why not? |
20731 | Why then do not the refreshing waters come rushing down? |
20731 | Why? |
20731 | Will some one give a simple definition of that word? |
20731 | Will some one tell me? |
20731 | Will you observe for a moment the rhetorical figure here? |
20731 | Will you please call to mind that original Pentecost company? |
20731 | Will you please remember that"grieve"is always a love word? |
20731 | Will you please take a look at Lazarus as he steps from the tomb? |
20731 | Will you put Jesus on the throne? |
20731 | Will you recall again the Master''s good- bye Olivet message, and notice just what it means? |
20731 | Will you remember, and keep constantly in mind, the actual meaning of that new name? |
20731 | Will you take this right fork? |
20731 | Will you? |
20731 | With what result? |
20731 | Would n''t she try that before giving them up? |
20731 | Would you care to have a flood- tide of love flush the channelways of your life like that? |
20731 | Would you go_ after Him_? |
20731 | Would you have it so? |
20731 | Would you have it so? |
20731 | Would you have such an intense passion as that, thrilling your heart, and inspiring your life, and know how to do it skillfully and tactfully? |
20731 | Would you have us go out and begin speaking to everyone we meet?" |
20731 | Would you imagine he had such a gentle voice? |
20731 | Would you know the secret of a life marked by the strange beauty of humility, and fragrant with the odor of_ His_ presence? |
20731 | Would you like to? |
20731 | Would you not expect His forerunner to understand it? |
20731 | You remember God put His hand upon Cain''s arm, and, looking into his face, said:"Where is Abel, thy brother?" |
20731 | [ 20] What results then may be expected to follow the filling of the Holy Spirit? |
20731 | [ Transcriber''s Note C: Original had"weckage"] Will you_ in the purpose of your heart_ make Jesus absolute monarch whatever that may prove to mean? |
20731 | _ It takes power_ to be gracious and strong, and patient and tender, and cheery, in the commonplace things, and the commonplace places, does it not? |
20731 | _ Why_ do you want power? |
20731 | _ Why_ is there such a lack of power in our lives? |
20731 | can you guess, my friend, Where the influence reaches and where it will end Of the hours that you frittered away? |
22400 | A review of our trip to, and adventures in, Ava, often, excites the inquiry, Why were we permitted to go? 22400 Ah?" |
22400 | And is he contented there? |
22400 | Are you a catholic? |
22400 | Are you a protestant? |
22400 | But have the saints,said they,"no intercession, and is it vain to worship them, and pray to them?" |
22400 | But how do you prove it necessary,said I,"that the pope should not err? |
22400 | But,said Galed,"if any one were disposed to take your life, could they not do it as well here, as at home?" |
22400 | But,said I,"is every one English, if he_ reasons_ on that subject?" |
22400 | Do you know what Mansoor has told me? |
22400 | How is that? |
22400 | It is the duty of every person to possess the gospel, and read it? |
22400 | True,replied he,"and where would be the difficulty in that? |
22400 | Was he handled as cruelly as he is here pictured? |
22400 | Well, is not God able to render him so? |
22400 | What then? |
22400 | What,replied Asaad,"must I go and live like a_ dumb_ man? |
22400 | What,said he"the_ English_ among the rest?" |
22400 | Who is thy father? |
22400 | Why do ye transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? |
22400 | Why do you not go,said they,"to the Druses, and the Moslems, and preach the gospel to them? |
22400 | Will every one, then, who reads the gospel, be saved? |
22400 | Wretch, were these the means you promised to furnish? |
22400 | ''Have you not deposited silver with some person of your acquaintance?'' |
22400 | ''My acquaintances are all in prison, with whom should I deposit silver? |
22400 | ''The king does as he pleases,''said she;''I am not the king, what can I do?'' |
22400 | ''Where is the teacher?'' |
22400 | ''Where is your silver, gold, and jewels?'' |
22400 | --"But,"said they,"is every thing then, worthless, that has been ordained by the councils and the fathers?" |
22400 | --"Is it possible?" |
22400 | After urging him, day after day, to no purpose, they finally asked in despair,"Are you then still of the same sentiment?" |
22400 | Allowing that I do take the Bible as my only and sufficient guide to heaven, what sin is there in this?" |
22400 | And again, Wherein shall a young man direct his way, but by the word of God? |
22400 | And as for your Latin service, what are we of the laity the better for it? |
22400 | And here I wish to say a word to every reader that regards and loves the truth; how does such doctrine appear to you? |
22400 | And how long wilt thou suffer the tyranny of these men?" |
22400 | And if the Lord is for me, of whom should I be afraid? |
22400 | And then, kneeling down, she turned to Feckenham, saying, Shall I say this psalm? |
22400 | And who so likely to be spies, as the Englishmen residing at Ava? |
22400 | Are you Asaad?" |
22400 | As he was almost expiring, they cried to him, Will you call upon the saints? |
22400 | Asaad replied,"For what reason? |
22400 | Asaad,--"Why do you kiss the cross, and who has commanded it?" |
22400 | At the same village, one of a party doubting whether M. Hermet, a tailor, was the man they wanted, asked,"Is he a protestant?" |
22400 | Being before the bishop of London, Dr. Barnes was asked whether the saints prayed for us? |
22400 | But for the upholding of your church and religion, what antiquity can you show? |
22400 | But how chanceth it that thou wentest away from thy husband? |
22400 | But if I should be afraid of your lordly looks, why fear ye not God, the Lord of us all? |
22400 | But if you say_ no_, and that we_ must_ go to the pope, what must become of the man who dies before the answer of the pope can reach him?" |
22400 | But pray, says she, was Don Francisco very obliging? |
22400 | But shall they be condemned without mercy for not acting up to principles which were unacknowledged and unknown throughout the whole of christendom? |
22400 | But this is all the silver you have?'' |
22400 | But where is the place of the church? |
22400 | But why are those words,"This is my body,"to be taken in a literal sense, any more than those concerning the cup? |
22400 | But why, said I, did not divisions and contentions arise among the apostles? |
22400 | Can these passages be taken literally? |
22400 | Can you not wait upon me in a few days?'' |
22400 | Come, brother Rogers, said Dr. Hooper, must we two take this matter first in hand, and begin to fry in these fagots? |
22400 | Do you not altogether act against God? |
22400 | Do you not destroy your souls, when you teach the people to worship idols, stocks and stones, the works of men''s hands? |
22400 | Do you not do a thousand more abominations? |
22400 | Do you not make holy water and holy bread to fray devils? |
22400 | Do you not teach us to pray upon beads, and to pray unto saints, and say they can pray for us? |
22400 | Do you really intend to send some assassin to take my life in my room?" |
22400 | For the truth at one glance assured me, that if the queen refused assistance, who would dare to intercede for me? |
22400 | H._ What did he break? |
22400 | H._ What did he take? |
22400 | H._ What was that? |
22400 | Harpsfield._ Christ called the bread his body; what dost thou say it is? |
22400 | He asked me, What is the church? |
22400 | He had, however, not proceeded far, when one of the patriarch''s men discovered him, and called out,"Asaad is it you?" |
22400 | He has issued to all denominations a proclamation full of lies against you, and what have you been able to do? |
22400 | He has known how to manage these mountains for forty years, and do you think he would be at a loss about such a trifle as this? |
22400 | He said,"What do you wish to do?" |
22400 | He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for me, will he not with him freely give me all things? |
22400 | He then resorted to another mode of proof, saying,"Is it not desirable that the pope should be infallible?" |
22400 | He was terribly mangled, but not quite killed by the fall; at which time the viceroy passing by, said, is the dog yet living? |
22400 | His wife, who sat by his side, and who always, from this time, continued my firm friend, instantly said,''Very true-- what else could she have said? |
22400 | His words were,"O miserable and blind guides, will ye ever be blind leaders of the blind? |
22400 | How can ye believe who receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour which comes from God only? |
22400 | How long shall darkness overwhelm this realm? |
22400 | How provest thou that? |
22400 | I ask, then, by whom have we been protected, and delivered unto this day? |
22400 | I asked him if this pretension of the pope was that of an apostle, or a prophet? |
22400 | I asked one of them"Where is Asaad Shidiak at present?" |
22400 | I pray you in what school have you been brought up? |
22400 | I said to the patriarch,"Have you not perfect confidence in the integrity of the priest Gabriel?" |
22400 | I said,"Well, what would you have me to do, and what will you do with me? |
22400 | I said,"What do you wish of me, your reverence? |
22400 | I smiled in a pleasant manner at all this, and when one asked me, why I laughed? |
22400 | I waited not for the usual question to a suppliant,''What do you want?'' |
22400 | If he be to be worshipped in spirit and in truth, why do you worship a piece of bread? |
22400 | If he did not offer his body once for all, why make you a new offering? |
22400 | If so, let me know where I shall go, what I shall do? |
22400 | If so, why does not the pope speak with tongues; and why is he not secure from the evil effects of poison,& c.? |
22400 | If with one offering he made all perfect, why do you with a false offering make all imperfect? |
22400 | Is it not sufficient if any one has doubts, to ask his teacher who is not infallible? |
22400 | Is it suitable that you should take it? |
22400 | Is it true? |
22400 | Is not what has passed enough?" |
22400 | Is your house more secure than the convent of the patriarch, or the palace of the emir? |
22400 | It is unjust then, to''press upon one poor persecuted sect, the sins of all christendom?'' |
22400 | Look in the text that followeth; did not Christ say,"Do this in remembrance of me?" |
22400 | Of what avail are such pretensions in one who is in the broad way to perdition?" |
22400 | On the way, Verianus and Marcellinus said,"Where are you carrying the innocent?" |
22400 | One individual spoke boldly in favour of Asaad, saying,"Why should he not leave you? |
22400 | Or by the other guards appointed to appease riots and defend the law? |
22400 | Or do you think that if I once get out among you, the air of Hadet will change my opinions, or induce me to be silent? |
22400 | Perrier one day returned from market in a serious mood; and after some inquiries from his guest, he replied,"Why do you complain? |
22400 | Shall we let you go forth to corrupt my flock for me? |
22400 | Shall we take them, or let them remain?'' |
22400 | The Doctor was soon out of humour at his replies, called him peevish boy, and asked him if he thought he went about to damn his soul? |
22400 | The emir promised to interfere--"But why,"said he,"should Asaad go and join the English? |
22400 | The first words of your brother were,''Why have you come? |
22400 | The judge told him the only alternatives were, recantation or death; and concluded by saying,"Will you die for the faith you profess?" |
22400 | The maid asked him if he was cold? |
22400 | The next day the two Jesuits returned, and putting on a very grave supercilious air, the superior asked him, what resolution he had taken? |
22400 | The pasha would send the application to the emir, and do you not think the emir would arrange the affair as he pleased? |
22400 | The princess of Orange, observing that the assassin spoke with a hollow and confused voice, asked who he was? |
22400 | Then said Dr. Taylor, O friend, I have harm enough, what needed that? |
22400 | Then said the keeper,"Are you resolved to stand to your religion?" |
22400 | Then she kneeled down, saying, Will you take it off before I lay me down? |
22400 | Then she tied a handkerchief about her eyes, and feeling for the block, she said, What shall I do? |
22400 | These various afflictions may serve to reconcile us to an humble state; for of what happiness could this great and good man boast? |
22400 | They have never done any thing to deserve such treatment; and is it right they should be treated thus?'' |
22400 | They then commenced by asking me questions; the first question was, in amount, this,"Has the Messiah given us a new law?" |
22400 | They were contemptuously asked, in what part of the sacred volume had they found the worship of the Virgin, of the Saints, or of the Host? |
22400 | Those who attended him, appearing as though they were ignorant of all, came and asked him where he had been? |
22400 | To all this Asaad replied,"To what purpose would it be, that I should go home? |
22400 | To which she replied, What profit ariseth by you, that teach nothing but lies for truth? |
22400 | Upon entering Smithfield the ground was so muddy, that two officers offered to carry him to the stake, but he replied,"Would you make me a pope? |
22400 | Was it by magistrates, judges, and police officers? |
22400 | Were they not all infallible as well as Peter? |
22400 | What crime has he committed to deserve such additional punishment? |
22400 | What do you wish me to do for you, for I can not remain here in idleness?" |
22400 | What evil had I done? |
22400 | What good has been effected? |
22400 | What had he here to do? |
22400 | What had he to enjoy? |
22400 | What have I done against you? |
22400 | What have I done, and what would you have me do? |
22400 | What have I done? |
22400 | What inducement had he to remain here? |
22400 | What is my crime? |
22400 | What is my sin, except that I conversed with some individuals, shewing them the errors of the church of Rome?" |
22400 | What must I do, said I, to obtain a mitigation of the present sufferings of the two teachers? |
22400 | What shall I do?" |
22400 | What trustee? |
22400 | What unity was in your church, when there were three popes at once? |
22400 | When he saw their anger, he cried out,"Why are you enraged at me, and what are you about to do to me? |
22400 | When he was brought to examination, this question was put to him: Will you renounce your doctrines? |
22400 | When they heard this, they fell to beating him anew saying,"Have we need of your preaching, thou deceiver? |
22400 | When, said he, will the proud priest of Rome grant indulgences to mankind to live in peace and charity, as he now does to fight and slay one another?" |
22400 | Where is it? |
22400 | Where is it? |
22400 | Where was your head of unity when you had a woman pope?" |
22400 | Whither then may I go, or whither may I flee? |
22400 | Who could be found to fill his place? |
22400 | Why did I not listen to the advice of friends in Bengal, and remain there till the war was concluded? |
22400 | Why should he not leave you?" |
22400 | Why would you murder me for nothing? |
22400 | Will you pray to the saints? |
22400 | Will you then debar me, said I, from my home? |
22400 | _ B._ O foolish woman, who will waste his breath upon thee, or such as thou art? |
22400 | _ B._ The true church, what dost thou mean? |
22400 | _ B._ Who persecuted thee? |
22400 | _ P._--"Well, is it altered in any place?" |
22400 | _ Phares._--"Yes, and from whom is the Bible? |
22400 | _ Priest._ Did not Martin Luther seduce you both? |
22400 | _ Priest._ Do you believe in the writings of the fathers, and the decrees of the councils? |
22400 | _ Priest._ How came you to quit the bosom of the church of Rome? |
22400 | _ Priest._ In what do you believe? |
22400 | _ Priest._ Were you not both, some years ago, Augustine friars? |
22400 | and how could I believe in all which the Romish church holds, without_ knowing_ all of it? |
22400 | and how could I say, without a lie, that I believe, when I do not believe? |
22400 | and say you make God, and sacrifice him, when Christ''s body was a sacrifice once for all? |
22400 | and that there is a purgatory, when God''s Son hath by his passion purged all? |
22400 | and to worship a false God of your own making of a piece of bread, and teach that the pope is God''s vicar, and hath power to forgive sins? |
22400 | and where is the use of it?" |
22400 | can not you, after the death of this, have a much worthier husband?" |
22400 | exclaimed I, must I sacrifice my honour to my fears, and give up my virtue to his despotic power? |
22400 | have you stopped the execution for ever?" |
22400 | how save you souls, when you preach nothing but lies, and destroy souls? |
22400 | is it done?'' |
22400 | is it from the English, or from God?" |
22400 | knowest thou not who I am? |
22400 | no mention of St. Bartholomew''s massacre?'' |
22400 | said Elizabeth,"what do you mean? |
22400 | shall we seek him here? |
22400 | what can I do? |
22400 | what is the meaning of the dry pan and gradual fire? |
22400 | where was the command to imprison, torture, and slay men for their difference of opinion with an Italian priest and the college of cardinals? |
22400 | where was the privilege that conferred Saintship at the hands of the pope? |
22400 | where was the prohibition of the general use of scripture by every man who had a soul to be saved? |
22400 | where was the revelation of that purgatory, from which a monk and a mass could extract a sinner? |
22400 | who would venture since the invincible Bandoola had been cut off? |
22400 | will neither God''s threats nor promises enter into your hearts? |
22400 | will the blood of the martyrs nothing mollify your stony stomachs? |
22400 | will ye never amend? |
22400 | will ye never see the truth of God''s word? |
22400 | will you go to mass? |
22400 | would you have me send her quick to the devil in her error?" |
22400 | xvii, 18? |
36572 | And Jehovah said, Doest thou well to be angry? |
36572 | Are you sure you can see it? |
36572 | Did I not tell you,I replied,"that you would believe it? |
36572 | Do you feel that He saves you now? |
36572 | Do you think this war is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy? |
36572 | For know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 36572 For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? |
36572 | How can a person know beforehand,I reasoned,"that he will feel at peace with God at the moment the question is asked?" |
36572 | If I were to saw the table leg off, would I hurt God? |
36572 | In the logs of the walls? |
36572 | In the sky? |
36572 | In the table leg? |
36572 | In this house? |
36572 | Is n''t this a beautiful world? |
36572 | Know ye not that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit? |
36572 | Moreover,I said,"how do you know what Christianity has accomplished? |
36572 | Recall, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? |
36572 | Should not the multitude of words be answered? 36572 Then why does God not show Himself? |
36572 | Then why does God not show Himself? |
36572 | Well, would n''t it be nice to pray a little? |
36572 | Well,I asked,"can you see my love?" |
36572 | What does God do all day? |
36572 | What does God do all day? |
36572 | What is that? |
36572 | What,said he,"do n''t you believe the Bible?" |
36572 | Who made it? |
36572 | Why in the name of conscience,I thought,"do we permit anyone in our churches to retain such detrimental and absurd ideas?" |
36572 | Why, then,some may ask,"does God combine His energies to form a poisonous rattlesnake?" |
36572 | Why,I asked,"should you hesitate to think of Jesus as God and man? |
36572 | Would n''t it be strange if I just went forward to- night without any regard to my feelings? |
36572 | You do n''t like to talk to God? |
36572 | ( Then to the boys)"Did I poke him? |
36572 | 2. Who is God? |
36572 | 2. Who is man? |
36572 | 205 CHAPTER IX LOSING THE BIBLE TO FIND IT 207 If the Bible contains errors, how do we know that any of it is true? |

36572 | 75 2. Who is man? |
36572 | 90 CHAPTER IV DOES GOD HAVE A BODY, AND COULD HE BECOME A MAN? |
36572 | A third voice,"_ Now_ where are we!--do we believe, or do we not believe that God is in all nature?" |
36572 | And at last out of the awful whirlwind God speaks:"Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?" |
36572 | And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a mighty wind?" |
36572 | And if the departed are living in our universe and not in a vacuum, what could have prevented them from achieving such a glorious result? |
36572 | And if there is a way, what finer goal is possible, than that such a union between God and every man be consummated? |
36572 | And once more devout men exclaimed with awe,"Is this what the good God made for us by the mere fiat of His will?" |
36572 | And yet, some will ask,"Where was God?" |
36572 | As I sat there the thought came to me,"When are you going to get religion?" |
36572 | As I stood there gazing into the sky my mind said,"Why does God not show Himself?" |
36572 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?" |
36572 | But being in a state of torment, how could I claim peace with God? |
36572 | But in shutting God out of railroad corporations, what are we doing? |
36572 | But unless we know the problems of suffering souls, how are we to solve them? |
36572 | But what about the forbidden fruit? |
36572 | But what should we think of a minister to- day who began his sermon with a similar description of the majesty and glory of God? |
36572 | But when a friend expostulated,"Pat, do n''t you know that your stone wall will upset if you build it on that swampy ground?" |
36572 | But who can withhold himself from speaking?" |
36572 | By what power does one determine that the person with whom he communes is himself? |
36572 | By"now"do they not mean something more general; to- night, for example? |

36572 | CHAPTER IX LOSING THE BIBLE TO FIND IT If the Bible contains errors, how do we know that any of it is true? |
36572 | CHAPTER VI FINDING THE SENSE OF IMMORTALITY How shall we find the assurance of immortality? |
36572 | CHAPTER VII WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHETHER WE BELIEVE IN IMMORTALITY IF WE LIVE AS WE SHOULD IN THIS LIFE? |
36572 | CHAPTER VIII HOW SHALL WE CONCEIVE OF THE FUTURE LIFE? |
36572 | Can God die? |
36572 | Can God die? |
36572 | Can modern psychology any longer believe in the Deity of Jesus? |
36572 | Can modern psychology any longer believe in the Deity of Jesus? |
36572 | Can we have a pure soul and an unclean body? |
36572 | Can we have an honest heart and a pilfering hand? |
36572 | Can you send forth the lightning, can you draw out old leviathan with a fish hook? |
36572 | Can you thunder, Job? |
36572 | Coming one day from a poor family''s home across the street, my little son said:"Papa, does Mr. R. love the Lord?" |
36572 | Did I believe that He came to save me, and that He wanted to save me now? |
36572 | Do they suppose that it is easier to make the freshman class in heaven than it is to make the freshman class in college? |
36572 | Does God care for these myriad blossoms of his universe? |
36572 | Does He have an abode, or is He a sort of spiritual ether that pervades the universe?" |
36572 | Even among practical electricians, how many could answer more than the simplest questions? |
36572 | From our present meager knowledge of the universe, what kind of a city would be possible if all the laws and resources of nature were fully utilized? |
36572 | Giving my knee a hard shove, he said:"This is n''t papa, is it? |
36572 | Had I in that act of denial become a"backslider,"and was it necessary for me to be converted again? |
36572 | Has the earth had its last war? |
36572 | Have we, then, no facts on which to build a rational conception of the future state? |
36572 | Have you looked, and staggered before the limitless heavens?" |
36572 | Having witnessed with amazement his great dexterity, these thoughts occurred to me:"I wonder what he is like when he talks? |
36572 | How can one live as he should if he eliminates God and His plans? |
36572 | How can one live as he should? |
36572 | How can one live as he should? |
36572 | How could I know but this was the road over which I was being led to the light? |
36572 | How is this possible, unless there is something in a man''s individual experience that resembles society? |
36572 | How many good cooks are there who could chemically analyze the food which they have prepared for their families? |
36572 | How may one find the Word of God, contained in the Scriptures? |
36572 | How shall we find the treasure that is in the Bible? |
36572 | How strangely, therefore, it would sound to ask: Does a man have a child of God? |
36572 | How_ can_ any one believe in God and not believe in immortality? |
36572 | I inquired,"In a part of my body, or in all of it? |
36572 | I knew that candidates were expected to answer the question,"Have you found God in the pardon of your sins, and do you now have peace with God?" |
36572 | I touched him on the forehead and said,''Are you there?'' |
36572 | I touched him on the knee,''Are you there?'' |
36572 | I touched him on the shoulder,''Are you there?'' |
36572 | If A and B were lifting an object, would it be truthful to say that A was lifting it? |
36572 | If He intended to crush us before we were fairly started why did He ever raise us to such hope by allowing us to see the infinite possibilities? |
36572 | If confronted with the old phrases would I not argue, and might I not confirm myself in a possible error? |
36572 | If he has children how do they feel toward him? |
36572 | If he is married what does his wife think of him? |
36572 | If the Ancients made their gods, how do we know that we are not making our God? |
36572 | If the Ancients made their gods, how do we know that we are not making our God? |
36572 | If the ingenious and infernal methods of torture, invented by Rome, present a picture difficult to read, what must the reality have been to bear? |
36572 | If the reader asks"What does all this amount to for us?" |
36572 | If we eliminate the thought of His family, what wisdom is there in anything God has made? |
36572 | Immediately, I asked,"Where is God?" |
36572 | In the autumn of nineteen hundred and fourteen, a friend said to me:"What_ is_ there, I should like to know, in Christianity? |
36572 | Is God"The Allness of things about us?" |
36572 | Is it possible to form any conception of heaven that is not offensive to the intelligent mind? |
36572 | Is not socialism the best religion there is? |
36572 | Is not socialism the best religion there is? |
36572 | Is this history? |
36572 | It is wonderful to him now, I know, but how will he feel to- morrow, or next week, or in six months?" |
36572 | Its relation to the present constitution of things Granting that there is a future existence, are we not wholly in the dark as to what it is like? |
36572 | Jesus said,"He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, show us the Father? |
36572 | Job,"Canst thou bind the cluster of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?" |
36572 | May we not be communing with a mere idea? |
36572 | May we not be communing with a mere idea? |
36572 | Now Jonah,"Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd?" |
36572 | Now, could her heart be right and her body wrong? |
36572 | Now, what did my sisters mean by this information; did they intend to convey the idea that our mother had become extinct? |
36572 | Now, what do you think my dear old saint said? |
36572 | Now, who ever heard of such a childish thing as a limited infinite? |
36572 | Oh, is n''t it strange that He hides forever?" |
36572 | One might as well ask,"What could a horticulturist care for the little blossoms on his apple trees?" |
36572 | Or if he is a single man, what would I think if he should wish to marry my daughter?" |
36572 | Shall we meet our loved ones? |
36572 | Shall we meet our loved ones? |
36572 | Shall we see God? |
36572 | Shall we see God? |
36572 | Should He not settle so great a question beyond all argument? |
36572 | So in our day many languid souls ask,"Where is thy God, and who knows whether there is a life beyond?" |
36572 | So to the question,"Where is God?" |
36572 | So what is the use of trying to make out that the Bible always harmonizes with science, when it is absolutely certain that it does not? |
36572 | Some may say,"this is nothing but the way_ you_ see things, why not give us something more?" |
36572 | Some one suggested,"If He is in strawberry shortcake, is He likewise in the garbage can?" |
36572 | Some say,"What difference does it make whether we believe in immortality, if we live as we should in this life?" |
36572 | Someone may say,"Is not this upsetting our old Bible?" |
36572 | Standing as many of us do on the threshold of these greater possibilities, who but a devil could shut the door in our faces? |
36572 | Still, they retain a measure of sympathy, for Eliphaz asks with great delicacy:"If one assays to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? |
36572 | The Book of Revelation 250 WHAT AND WHERE IS GOD? |
36572 | The difference in personal preparation 186 CHAPTER VIII HOW SHALL WE CONCEIVE OF THE FUTURE LIFE? |
36572 | The only remaining question was the old one,"Is there a God?" |
36572 | The reader may ask,"Is it possible to find in the Bible that which nothing could induce us to relinquish,--something more precious than life itself?" |
36572 | The reverse question, however, is perfectly fitting: Does a child of God have a body? |
36572 | The story of Creation What message of permanent religious value is there in the story of creation? |
36572 | The world I know, and its activities I behold, but where is God? |
36572 | Then how much more rapidly may we realize this process of enlargement under the new conditions to which we are going? |
36572 | Then it cried,"Why did God kill my brother at this little nick of time when I was hoping to bring him to Christ? |
36572 | Then looking up with a smile, he asked,"Do you know what I was doing?" |
36572 | Then the thought forced itself upon me,"What would God be like if He were to talk? |
36572 | Then the thought occurred to me,"Where is God?" |
36572 | This causes Bildad to respond with alacrity:"How long wilt thou speak these things? |
36572 | This was followed by another,"Would n''t it be strange if I went to the mourner''s bench to- night?" |
36572 | To the question,"What is God?" |
36572 | WHAT AND WHERE IS GOD? |
36572 | Was Jesus God or a good man only? |
36572 | Was Jesus God or a good man only? |
36572 | Was it not safer to fight it out with God, if He existed, than to argue with those who could not feel what I had felt? |
36572 | Was there ever anything like this? |
36572 | What could an infinite God care for such a little speck? |
36572 | What could an infinite God care for such a little speck? |
36572 | What difference can it make?" |
36572 | What difference did it make-- he and his men surely did some good work? |
36572 | What does God do? |
36572 | What does God do? |
36572 | What does God_ do_? |
36572 | What good would it do me anyway, was what they wanted to know, since I was already good in"figgers"? |
36572 | What hope then is there for benighted peoples where there is neither salt nor leaven? |
36572 | What is God? |
36572 | What is God? |
36572 | What is man? |
36572 | What is man? |
36572 | What is the world, and what is God? |
36572 | What kind of a person should we find Him to be if He walked our streets, and engaged in business, and sat at the table as one of the family circle?" |
36572 | What oratorical genius could_ invent_ a Gettysburg speech? |
36572 | What would it amount to if there were not those who could take nature apart and recombine it to infinity for His glory and their happiness? |
36572 | When does God act, and when does the universe act? |
36572 | Whence came it? |
36572 | Where does Jesus belong in the religious, social and thought worlds? |
36572 | Where does Jesus belong in the religious, social and thought worlds? |
36572 | Where is God? |
36572 | Where is God? |
36572 | Where is heaven? |
36572 | Where is heaven? |
36572 | Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? |
36572 | Who could wish to be a mad god living alone through eternity in a graveyard? |
36572 | Why are n''t figures good enough?" |
36572 | Why do they not go to the experts? |
36572 | Why had God left us to argue and reason about His existence? |
36572 | Why is the engine put on the track at all unless it is to go somewhere? |
36572 | Why should God create a chemical world unless He had chemists in mind? |
36572 | Why then should we say that Jesus was only a good man, when the body was God''s very own, and the guiding will was that of the Father? |
36572 | Why, then, did He not do so? |
36572 | Why_ did_ He take him?" |
36572 | Will there be a Holy City? |
36572 | Will there be a Holy City? |
36572 | Will there be burdens to bear in heaven? |
36572 | Will there be burdens to bear in heaven? |
36572 | Will there be music? |
36572 | Will there be music? |
36572 | Would I care to be a minister? |
36572 | Would it be right for me under the circumstances to appear for examination? |
36572 | Would the absence of man cripple God? |
36572 | Would the absence of man cripple God? |
36572 | Would they not be squarely in each other''s way much of the time? |
36572 | Yet we grow weary with hearing the question,"What difference does it make whether there is a future existence if we live as we should in this life?" |
36572 | Yet what sense would there be in creating wood in all its varieties, with no one to put it to any of its sacred uses? |
36572 | Yet who pretends to have found all the truth there is in the Bible? |
36572 | You did n''t think I was flesh, did you? |
36572 | You have never been where the Christians have gone? |
36572 | _ Where_ is God? |
36572 | _ Who_ is God? |
36572 | _ Why are so many people losing their assurance of immortality?_ 1. |
36572 | then He is in strawberry shortcake, is n''t He?" |
4602 | And what happened- nothing? |
4602 | And what happened-- nothing? |
4602 | Are all men bound to act as Tolstoy teaches-- i. e., to carry out these five commandments of Christ? |
4602 | But how are we to cast off the visible tangible protection of an armed policeman, and trust to something so intangible as public opinion? 4602 But is this interpretation of Christ a true one?" |
4602 | Can we get rid of war? |
4602 | Come for a walk in the town with me? |
4602 | Come, now, suppose your father were arrested and tried to make his escape? |
4602 | Fear will come upon us-- a void, a vast emptiness, freedom-- how are we to go forward not knowing whither, how face loss, not seeing hope of gain? 4602 How can we explain this extraordinary phenomenon which sooner or later threatens us all with inevitable bankruptcy? |
4602 | How can you kill people, when it is written in God''s commandment:''Thou shalt not kill''? |
4602 | I am come to send a fire on the earth,said Christ,"and what will I, if it be already kindled?" |
4602 | Was it Napoleon I. who carried forward the great intellectual movement started by the philosophers of the end of last century? 4602 Was it the invasions of the Persians which saved Greece from falling into the most hideous materialism? |
4602 | Were the invasions of the barbarians what saved and regenerated Rome? 4602 What have they done, those warriors, that proves the least intelligence? |
4602 | What is he muttering? |
4602 | What is the good of doing anything? 4602 What remains to us from Greece? |
4602 | What shall we find the other side of the walls of the world we are abandoning? 4602 What, did n''t you pay the tax?" |
4602 | Why should not the government be put on its trial after every declaration of war? 4602 Yes, but what is one to do?" |
4602 | 46:"If I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? |
4602 | A great genius answered that long ago in the words that have become a proverb:''Without justice, what is an empire but a great band of brigands?'' |
4602 | Ah, why? |
4602 | And besides, how are we to find the moment when public opinion has become strong enough to be able to replace the use of force? |
4602 | And can a Christian, then, or can he not, always remaining a Christian, go to law or make any use of the law, or seek his own protection in the law? |
4602 | And can he, by taking his share of service in the army, prepare himself to murder men, and even actually murder them? |
4602 | And can the Christian, or can he not, remaining a Christian, take part in the administration of government, using compulsion against his neighbors? |
4602 | And for the sake of what am I making them? |
4602 | And how are we to love men in these troubled times when every fresh day is a menace of danger?... |
4602 | And is not every band of brigands a little empire? |
4602 | And is not the same thing done in Anglicanism, Lutheranism, and every denomination of Protestantism which has been formed into a church? |
4602 | And just as the dreamer need only make a moral effort and ask himself,"Is n''t it a dream?" |
4602 | And they are questioned:"What, did n''t you take the oath?" |
4602 | And what are the conditions in which you are doing this? |
4602 | And what good to us are these armies with their generals and bands and horses and drums? |
4602 | And what is the use of capital in the hands of private persons, when it can only be of use as the property of all? |
4602 | And what is the use of tax collectors who collect the taxes unwillingly, when it is easy to raise all that is wanted without them? |
4602 | And what need is there of them when there is no war, and no one wants to make war? |
4602 | And when were better men in power, when the Versaillist party or when the Commune was in power? |
4602 | And why is it so indispensably necessary? |
4602 | And why take ye thought for rainment? |
4602 | And why, most of all, should I take part in person or hire others to murder my own brothers and kinsmen? |
4602 | And, indeed what is a heresy? |
4602 | And, indeed, what sort of ethical doctrine could admit the legitimacy of murder for any object whatever? |
4602 | Are they ready to sacrifice modern civilization, their manner of life, their religion, the received conventional morality? |
4602 | Are ye not much better than they? |
4602 | Are you doing what he demands of you who has sent you into the world, and to whom you will soon return? |
4602 | Are you doing what he wills? |
4602 | But can a man make this effort? |
4602 | But if that is the true meaning of the rule of non- resistance, can it always put into practice? |
4602 | But is it possible that the higher classes support the existing order of things simply because it is to their advantage? |
4602 | But is it so with us? |
4602 | But is such a belief possible in these days? |
4602 | But it is not even this question"What will happen?" |
4602 | But precisely how many are needed to make it permissible? |
4602 | But so long as only a few act thus, what will happen to them? |
4602 | But the man who loves humanity-- what does he love? |
4602 | But what good or useful thing can come of all these improvements, if men do not speak and act in accordance with what they believe to be the truth? |
4602 | But what is it that is sacred to the civilized man of to- day? |
4602 | But what is this conviction based on? |
4602 | But what will happen when we give it up and trust ourselves to something invisible and intangible, and altogether unknown?" |
4602 | But when will it be? |
4602 | But who are these evil- disposed persons in our midst from whose attacks we are preserved by the state and its army? |
4602 | But who is to arrange that no war is to be declared? |
4602 | But why should we speak of the past and judge from the past, which may have been misrepresented and misunderstood by us? |
4602 | Can a Christian give a vote at elections, or take part in government or law business? |
4602 | Can he fight in conflict with foreign enemies or disturbers of the peace? |
4602 | Can he pay taxes to such a government? |
4602 | Can he voluntarily give money to aid a government resting on military force, capital punishment, and violence in general? |
4602 | Can he voluntarily vote or furnish soldiers for the government? |
4602 | Can that possibly be? |
4602 | Do men believe in it? |
4602 | Do they regard it as good? |
4602 | Does humanity end with the savage, the idiot, the dipsomaniac, or the madman? |
4602 | Does it compel them to go, and in case of disobedience punish them? |
4602 | Does it yet exist? |
4602 | Does the government let them off then? |

4602 | Having withdrawn from human protection, what can sustain us but that faith which overcomes the world? |
4602 | He is all right?" |
4602 | How can I help asking myself when I take part in such punishments, whether they are just, and whether I ought to assist in carrying them out? |
4602 | How ought a man, as a Christian, to meet this demand? |
4602 | How then can the manifestations of truth disappear through our realizing it? |
4602 | I asked the old man,"Has he the Gospel?" |
4602 | If we draw a line excluding from humanity its lowest representatives, where are we to draw the line? |
4602 | If we must not oppose evil by force, nor swear, everyone naturally asks,"How, then, about military service? |
4602 | If your officer commands you to kill your neighbor''s child, to kill your father or your mother, would you obey? |

4602 | May he go with a complaint to the judge that he who has wronged him may be punished? |
4602 | May he kill or maim him in self- defense? |
4602 | Of whom was he speaking in the words,"Ye have heard it was said of old"? |
4602 | One involuntarily asks how can men let it go on, not from higher considerations only, but from regard to their own safety? |
4602 | One would expect that every man of the present day who has a grain of sense left, might reply to such requirements,"But why should I do all this?" |
4602 | People ask,"How will our security be guaranteed when the existing organization is suppressed? |
4602 | Q. Whence is the word"non- resistance"derived? |
4602 | Q. Wherein lies the chief significance of the doctrine of non- resistance? |
4602 | Shall we exclude the negroes like the Americans, or the Hindoos like some Englishmen, or the Jews like some others? |
4602 | So why preach about it? |
4602 | So why should I do this? |
4602 | Still less possible is it to prove them by experiment, since the whole matter turns on the question, ought we to try the experiment? |
4602 | The question amounts to this: In what way are we to decide men''s disputes, when some men consider evil what others consider good, and VICE VERSA? |
4602 | Then the ancients allowed the resistance of injury by injury? |
4602 | Then why did they do it, or allow it to be done? |
4602 | There is a law of evolution by which it follows that I must live and act in an evil way; what is to be done? |
4602 | Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? |
4602 | Those who fight to eat the conquered, or those who fight to kill, for nothing but to kill? |
4602 | What about the law then which defines our whole existence? |
4602 | What are governments to do against such people? |
4602 | What are people thinking about? |

10004 | Am I capable of larger responsibilities, and of wider control? |
10004 | Am I foreordained to sin? |
10004 | Am I loyal? |
10004 | Among all his friends, who is there, man or woman, who is brave enough to be true? |
10004 | And after the Last Man, what? |
10004 | And have we all been misinformed? |
10004 | Are there no sages? |
10004 | Are these things true? |
10004 | As a babe, was I still I? |
10004 | As a representative of the ideal, as executors of social trust, how shall each one use his Power of Price? |
10004 | As these two giants gird themselves for World- dominion, who but God shall gird the armor on, direct the onward course of change? |
10004 | Before a man complains of his wages, then, let him ask himself: Have I mastered my work? |
10004 | Blown hither and thither-- where? |
10004 | But in what state is the proffered fellowship like that of the communion of saints? |
10004 | But in whose hands is equity? |
10004 | But that it is real, who can doubt? |
10004 | But we must first ask: What is an idol? |
10004 | But what am I? |
10004 | But who is consulting the Church in these concerns, except in reference to mere technical points? |
10004 | Can I do as I choose? |
10004 | Can a man receive an education outside of himself? |
10004 | Can not a great leader be inspired to the choice of a man, as well as a great author to the choice of a word, a rhyme? |
10004 | Can not almost all the problems of human training be run down to this: How to teach a child to work? |
10004 | Can not department stores be artistically fashioned and built? |
10004 | Can not market- houses have arches and arabesques? |

10004 | Do many sermons thrill us in this large way? |
10004 | Do the stars in their courses lay limitations on free will? |

10004 | Do we not yearn eagerly for the dignity and beauty of high virtue? |
10004 | Do we wish to retain these grimacing phases of ourselves? |
10004 | Do you recall the history of the infamous Jukes family? |

10004 | Each asks himself at some time: How shall I become one of the Victors of the race? |
10004 | Each employer must say: Before I settle back with a serene belief that I have given my men a living- wage, let me ask: Have they sun? |
10004 | Even so, looking out upon our own spirits, do we not some day rouse to the distortion and deformity of sin? |
10004 | FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL What is work? |
10004 | First, What is Mother- work? |
10004 | First: Is a minister''s environment favorable to his best personal development? |
10004 | From what point shall they diverge? |
10004 | Has the minister, as a thinker and active force of regeneration, kept pace with this advance? |
10004 | Have many ministers ever bent themselves in this way to solve a special moral problem-- that of, say, a disobedient child in the congregation? |
10004 | Have they enough money for ordinary occasions, and a little to give away? |
10004 | Have they spent six months, hours and hours a day, to make the law of God, the word Obedience, ring in that child''s ears? |
10004 | Have_ I_ had enough dinner? |
10004 | He may rule-- to what end? |
10004 | Hence the first questions in reform are not: How many groggeries are there in my parish? |
10004 | Here is another thought: Shall all association in work be arbitrary? |
10004 | How am I free? |
10004 | How could we love Jesus if He did not sympathize with our ideals? |
10004 | How do other men in public life deal with this problem? |
10004 | How do they maintain discipline, either themselves, or through their subordinates? |
10004 | How do they, age after age, run a predestined course? |
10004 | How far are the limits of authority to be pressed? |
10004 | How far can I extend Myself? |
10004 | How many corrupt polls? |
10004 | How many hypocrites on my church- roll? |
10004 | How many ministers possess, for instance, a scholarly knowledge of human nature or of the deeper aspects of redemption? |
10004 | How much ought I to be paid? |
10004 | How otherwise could it be that out of one century one heart calls to another-- out of one age, proceeds the answer to the cry of ages gone? |
10004 | How ought the soul of man to act in an emergency? |
10004 | How shall the working- man lay hold on the best that life can give? |
10004 | I mean, Why give myself, my powers, my education, my love, my loyalty, to advance the progress of the Church? |
10004 | If a man wishes to build a house, does it fetter him to know square measure, cubic contents, geometry, mensuration, and mechanical laws? |
10004 | If accredited spiritual leaders can not help, who can? |
10004 | If doctrine be the crystallized thought and belief of godly men, what is heresy? |
10004 | If so, how may better things be brought to pass? |
10004 | If so, where does it end? |
10004 | If we could be born again, would we not be born a more spiritual being? |
10004 | In loneliness and silence does he not often think, I wonder, of the God with whom he deals? |
10004 | In what time? |
10004 | In what work shall they centre? |
10004 | In whose hand is the final price of the necessaries of life-- wheat, rice, sugar, soap, cotton, wool, coal, milk, iron, lumber, ice? |
10004 | Is it in me? |
10004 | Is it merely a way of making money? |
10004 | Is it not a strange thing that one voice, and only one, should have really won the hearing of the race? |
10004 | Is it not also the source of the discontent to- day, among almost all classes of women, except the most highly educated and efficient? |
10004 | Is it not the consciousness of existence, together with a consciousness of the power of choice? |
10004 | Is it the material horizon that bounds us? |
10004 | Is not professional pride aroused? |
10004 | Is there any one who wishes to stay always just where he is to- day? |
10004 | Is there any one who wishes to stay always where he is to- day?--to be always what he is this morning? |
10004 | Is there any other processional in the world''s history which, numbering such millions and millions, began with only one? |
10004 | Is there not a more human way than the chain- gang way? |
10004 | Is there such a thing as a place for Truth at wholesale, even in an academy or college? |
10004 | Is this quite as it should be? |
10004 | It begins to question, Upon what foundation does this phrase, this fine sentiment, rest? |
10004 | It is better to ask, What is my work in the upbuilding of the Church? |
10004 | Let excellence, not Will- it- pass? |
10004 | Literature asks: What do I live for? |
10004 | May not even the Bourse have something about it suggestive of great art? |
10004 | Must he-- and his church-- have only his grandfather''s ideas, standards, and decrees? |
10004 | My energy? |
10004 | My ideals? |
10004 | My time? |
10004 | Of a civil engineer who would lament that the mountain over which he was asked to project a road was steep? |
10004 | Of a doctor who would grieve that hosts of people about him were very ill? |
10004 | Of a statesman who would cry out that horrid folks opposed him? |
10004 | Of what avail is it to save one street- Arab, or one Chinaman, if a million Arabs and Chinamen remain unsaved? |
10004 | Of what quality? |
10004 | Once, in a game of Twenty Questions, this was the question set to guess: Who first used the prehistoric root expressing a verb of action? |
10004 | One is the problem of the capitalist: How much ought I to pay? |
10004 | One is then a full- fledged altruist,_ n''est- ce pas_? |
10004 | Or are there bourns of conduct beyond which I can never go? |
10004 | Part of my soul is passing from me: do dollars ever repay? |
10004 | SECOND: ADHERENCE By the question, Why join the Church?--I do not mean alone, Why add my name to a church- roll? |
10004 | Second, What are the best economic conditions under which this work can be done? |
10004 | Shall doctrine be taught a child? |
10004 | Shall we give a liberty to a man''s library which we refuse to his belief? |
10004 | Shall we let others share in the mystery and triumph while we stand apart, silent, unapproving, and alone? |
10004 | Shall we not endeavor to share in some broadly planned, magnificently executed scheme of world- advance? |
10004 | Some one has well said:"Wouldst thou live a great life? |
10004 | Some one says: Do you realize that you are making a moral laughing- stock of much of our system of trade? |
10004 | Sometimes the question comes over me: What am I trading for money? |
10004 | That of the seven devout and noble generations of the Murrays? |
10004 | The most business- like question that ever touches the heart of man is this: For what shall I trade my soul? |
10004 | The problem is, How shall the capitalist lead the noblest, most public- spirited, and helpful life in relation to those in his employ? |
10004 | The question is not: How shall I grind down price to the lowest? |
10004 | The question is: How is my parish society in enmity to the highest spiritual ideal I know? |
10004 | The question, Where is the line between ecclesiastical integrity and individual freedom? |
10004 | The second is that of the working- man: How much service must I render? |
10004 | The tree grows, the flower grows, the ideals of the race grow-- shall not I? |
10004 | There is no question more baffling than this simple, ever- recurring one: What am I? |
10004 | They met the tyrant''s brandished steel, The lions gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? |
10004 | Think you that any spiritual power aloof from this Church can be as efficient as if it were allied with it? |
10004 | Think you that such a Church can die? |
10004 | To be always what he is this morning? |
10004 | To- day the trenchant question:"What More than Wages?" |
10004 | Ways? |
10004 | We have honest doctors, lawyers, tradesmen; shall we not have an honest politician and an upright ward- boss? |
10004 | We have myriads of Sabbath- school teachers, but how many men or women really know how to teach a little child? |

10004 | What are the bounds of ecclesiastical control? |

10004 | What can I do that shall be a stepping- stone to progress? |
10004 | What can I do to further the Royal Progress of the Church of God? |

12744 | And how much can one wisely spend? |
12744 | And if the light waves created the eyes, why did they not create them strong enough to bear the light? |
12744 | And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? |
12744 | And is it not greater still that the people are able to reduce a President to the ranks as well as to lift him up? |
12744 | And that brings us to the next question: How much should one desire to collect from society? |
12744 | And what called forth this powerful illustration-- the sacrificing of the right eye and the right hand to save the body? |
12744 | And what can be more important than the cleansing of the heart of all that obstructs one''s view of God? |
12744 | And what excuses do men give? |
12744 | And what of the man who showed us how to hurl our messages thousands of miles through space without the aid of wire? |
12744 | And what would he think of saving weak babies by pasteurizing milk and of the efforts to find a specific for tuberculosis and cancer? |
12744 | And where does that begin? |
12744 | And why did the light waves quit playing when two eyes were perfected? |
12744 | And why is it that we live under a government resting upon the consent of the governed, and in a land in which the people rule? |

12744 | Can you beat it? |

12744 | Of whom but an honest person could such a story be told? |
12744 | Or does the Bible come to us from a source that is higher than man? |
12744 | Or was He deluded? |

12744 | Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? |
12744 | Or, did the males select for three years and then allow the females to do the selecting during leap year? |
12744 | Or, what is more important, what would so great a sum_ do with them_? |

12744 | The narrative suggests an epitaph which every Christian can earn-- and who could desire more? |

12744 | The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? |
12744 | Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? |
12744 | There is but one_ first_ question: Where do you begin? |

12744 | This is a living world; why not a_ living_ God upon the throne? |
12744 | Tolstoy insists that the science of"How to Live"is more important than any other science, and is this not true? |

12744 | Was Christ an impostor? |
12744 | Was Christ deceived? |
12744 | We are familiar with this word but how shall it be interpreted in governmental terms? |

12744 | Why not employ the only untried remedy for the ills which afflict civilization? |
12744 | Why should a church member be driven to these extremities when the loanable money in the church is sufficient for all needs? |
12744 | Why should we encourage the guesses of these speculators and thus weaken our power to protest when they attempt the leap from the monkey to man? |

12744 | Why? |
12744 | Will he be as sensitive to God''s will and as anxious to find out what God wants him to do? |
12744 | Will man''s attitude toward Darwin''s God be the same as it would be toward the God of Moses? |

12744 | or thirsty, and gave thee drink? |
39566 | And can you, my young friends, be careless about your own salvation while Samuel is so anxious for you? 39566 And what is radiation?" |
39566 | And what, Mr. Hume, about the ice water? |
39566 | And, Mr. Wilton,asked Peter,"does not the Bible say that''God created all things for his own glory''?" |
39566 | Ansel, have you ever heard the''dew point''spoken of? |
39566 | Ansel, will you state the theories which have been held touching the nature of heat? |
39566 | Are you becoming discouraged and almost ready to give up all effort to follow Christ? |
39566 | Are you unwilling to come to him-- to trust him and submit to him? |
39566 | Are your thoughts and feelings and opinions about Christ and salvation the same as they were six weeks ago? |
39566 | But by what agency does man achieve the mastery of Nature? 39566 But can you wholly get rid of the conviction that the Bible is the word of God, written by holy men inspired by the Holy Spirit?" |
39566 | But how does this carry heat from the warmer region to the colder regions around? |
39566 | But how would it please you if my talk upon the ministry of pain should prove to be very much like a sermon? |
39566 | But were you not interested and pleased with the discourse? 39566 But what did you mean? |
39566 | But why do you say, of course? 39566 But would not all these natural agencies subserve essentially the same ends in the discipline of unfallen and sinless beings? |
39566 | But, Samuel, did you not pray for Mr. Hume also, and talk with him? |
39566 | But,said he,"does not the book of Nature-- your Bible, as you call it-- have something to say of God? |
39566 | Can you tell us, Ansel, whether the earth receives heat from the moon and stars? |
39566 | Can you tell us, Peter, why tubs of water set in a cellar should have this effect? |
39566 | Can you tell why a newspaper spread over a tomato vine keeps the frost from the vine? |
39566 | Did you ever think, Ansel, that you were very ambitious? |
39566 | Did you expect a month ago that at this time you would be feeling and acting as you now feel and act? |
39566 | Do not men heat and burn bricks, not to soften them, but to harden them? |
39566 | Do you believe that Christ is able to save you? |
39566 | Do you believe that he is willing to save you? |
39566 | Do you know what is meant by it? |
39566 | Do you look upon this irregular expansion and contraction of water,asked Mr. Hume,"as a real exception to the rule that heat expands bodies?" |
39566 | Do you wish now that you had fought it through, as you proposed, and kept all your feelings to yourself? |
39566 | Have not you, Mr. Hume, been treating Christ and the Holy Spirit as Samuel feared that you would treat him? |
39566 | Have you ever noticed whether cloudy nights or clear nights are the warmer? |
39566 | Have you no more enjoyment in reading the Scriptures and in your prayer in secret than you had a week ago? |
39566 | How could the dew fall upon the under side? |
39566 | How could we tell,asked Peter,"without knowing what kind of work the machine was designed to do?" |
39566 | How does the form of the earth operate to produce inequality of temperature? |
39566 | How is water formed from these two gases? 39566 How would such a plan please the other members of the class?" |
39566 | I am glad to hear that; but can you tell how they are different? |
39566 | I want to ask,said Peter,"how this internal heat came to exist, and how it is maintained?" |
39566 | If I understand you, then,he said,"you would like a course of lessons in the teachings of Nature?" |
39566 | In this bountiful supply of heat to warm the earth and serve human needs must we not see a kind design on the part of the Creator? 39566 Perhaps,"he continued,"you would prefer to study one of the historic books of the Old Testament?" |
39566 | Peter, what is the third method by which heat passes from place to place? |
39566 | Samuel, what is the cause of day and night? |
39566 | That is the old and common expression, but what is meant by latent heat? |
39566 | Upon what does the dew point depend? |
39566 | Was your answer correct, then? |
39566 | We use heat also in cooking our food,spoke up Peter:"is it not because heat destroys the cohesive attraction, and thus softens it?" |
39566 | What answer did you try to give him, Ansel? |
39566 | What are some of those means for transferring heat which seem to you to operate the same in the annual as in the daily changes of temperature? |
39566 | What book can you find which is true if the Bible is not true? |
39566 | What do you mean, Ansel? |
39566 | What do you think it is that hinders your coming into light and joy as others have done? |
39566 | What do you wish? |
39566 | What have you been reading, Ansel, that has put such thoughts into your mind? |
39566 | What have you tried to do for Christ? |
39566 | What is cohesive attraction? |
39566 | What is combustion? |
39566 | What is it, Ansel? |
39566 | What is meant by convection of heat? |
39566 | What is meant, Ansel, by the''conduction''of heat? |
39566 | What is that heat called, Ansel, which is absorbed by a body with no rise of temperature? |
39566 | What is that inequality of temperature which is produced by the shape of the earth? |
39566 | What is the cause of the sun''s heat? |
39566 | What is the evidence,asked Samuel,"that the dynamic theory of heat is true?" |
39566 | What is the third great natural source of heat? 39566 What leads you,"asked Mr. Wilton,"to present yourself to the church, asking for baptism?" |
39566 | What will you say, Peter? |
39566 | Why did you stand upon a rock? |
39566 | Will you correct your answer? |
39566 | Will you not tell us,said Samuel,"how these ocean currents are produced? |
39566 | Will you please explain this? |
39566 | Will you please tell us, Mr. Wilton, how this weakening of cohesive attraction is explained upon the dynamic theory of heat? |
39566 | Would it be wise and well to take no account of foreseen events? 39566 ''And who are these lads and young men for whom all this work and wisdom is expended?'' 39566 ''Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? 39566 ''Pray, sir,''he says to the master,''what is this strange contradictory institution?'' 39566 ''What must I do to be saved?'' 39566 --_Youmans._What is the second method by which heat passes from place to place?" |
39566 | 30:"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" |
39566 | A hundred times a day the questions came, What if there be a God who holds me responsible? |
39566 | A self- righteous young man came to Jesus asking,''Good Master, what good thing shall I do that I may inherit everlasting life?'' |
39566 | Ansel, have you studied geology?" |
39566 | Ansel, how shall we explain this?" |
39566 | Ansel, what part of the atmosphere is warmest?" |
39566 | Are there different conditions and different duties required of different men? |
39566 | Are they mixed together as oxygen and nitrogen are mingled in the air, or are they chemically united?" |
39566 | Are we to suppose that the column of heated air reaches to the top of the atmosphere?" |
39566 | Are you contented to live''having no hope and without God in the world''? |
39566 | Are you, Samuel, in your interest in studying Nature, forgetting Christ and the souls of men?" |
39566 | At length he thought,''Why should I not? |
39566 | But did God''s plan excuse his treason against his Lord? |
39566 | But does it seem reasonable that the world was designed merely as a place of punishment for men by reason of their wickedness?" |
39566 | But does not that condensation which forms the cloud- ring set free latent heat, and thus intensify the great heat of the equator? |
39566 | But here two questions arise: What is the glory of God? |
39566 | But how is the weight raised? |
39566 | But how shall we know the object for which God made and governs the world?" |
39566 | But if the casket be so worthy, what shall be said of the gem which is enshrined within? |
39566 | But what did you learn last Sunday?" |
39566 | But what is one iceberg to the thousands which drift yearly from the frigid zones toward the tropics? |
39566 | But what is the Gulf Stream, though it be fifty fold greater than all the rivers of the world, in comparison with the whole sum of the ocean streams? |
39566 | But what is the question which you wished to propose?" |
39566 | But what is the question?" |
39566 | But what is the setting for this gem? |
39566 | But what kind of evidence am I to look for?" |
39566 | But whence comes the force necessary to accomplish this? |
39566 | But whence comes the heat of combustion? |
39566 | But why do not the glowing rays of the sun raise the temperature at once to the highest possible point? |
39566 | But why do not the vegetables begin to freeze as soon as the water?" |
39566 | But why not endow living creatures with nerves of sensation which could experience pleasure, but could not feel pain? |
39566 | But why should not God embrace in his plan that great event, the fall of man, which he foresaw in the future? |
39566 | Can you blot out your past sins? |
39566 | Can you change that condemnation by your feeble, fickle resolutions to reform? |
39566 | Can you erase the record which stands written in the book of remembrance on high? |
39566 | Can you not now tell why water is incombustible?" |
39566 | Can you tell us, Ansel, how the temperature of the earth is affected by the atmosphere?" |
39566 | Can you tell us, Peter, at what season of year the earth is nearer the sun?" |
39566 | Could his late repentance call them back to life and hope? |
39566 | Did Mr. Hume say that what he calls''The book of Nature''contradicts the sacred Scriptures?" |
39566 | Did the Creator then''Bid his angels turn askance The poles of earth twice ten degrees and more From the sun''s axle''? |
39566 | Did this plan touching Christ make the apostasy of man a necessity? |
39566 | Did you ever see barefoot boys running in the cold dew stop and stand upon a stone or rock to get their feet warm?" |
39566 | Did you not carry the same idea of being chief into your plans and expectations for the future? |
39566 | Do all bodies conduct heat with equal rapidity?" |
39566 | Do clouds tend to produce inequalities of temperature?" |
39566 | Do n''t you remember how he used to laugh at the idea of being plunged in the river in honor of a dead man? |
39566 | Do not men produce by cultivation better fruits and vegetables than Nature ever grows when left to herself?" |
39566 | Do not the laws of Nature bring suffering to the good and the bad alike, and happiness also to all classes of men? |
39566 | Do not the works of Nature tell of the same God whose being and character were preached to us yesterday from the Holy Scriptures?" |
39566 | Do you know, Ansel, how to ascertain the dew point at any time?" |
39566 | Do you really and honestly wish to be saved from sin? |
39566 | Do you remember what was said about the production of cold by expansion and of heat by compression?" |
39566 | Do you think that my long trial of doubt and unrest and pain of heart can ever be blessed to my good?" |
39566 | Do you wish to study the evidences of the truth and inspiration of the Holy Scriptures?" |
39566 | Does Nature punish those whom you call the wicked? |
39566 | Does Nature reward the righteous? |
39566 | Does any one think of another cause of inequality of temperature?" |
39566 | Does it not mean that he made the world so good and perfect that all creatures ought to praise him on account of it?" |
39566 | Does it not speak of an infinitely wise and good Creator and Governor? |
39566 | Does that seem to you to be true, Samuel?" |
39566 | Does the temperature rise in any place? |
39566 | Does the world seem as if fitted up to be the dwelling- place of holy beings?" |
39566 | During the past few weeks you have heard others asking,''What shall we do to be saved?'' |
39566 | Have you never heard of setting tubs of water in cellars to keep vegetables from freezing?" |
39566 | Have you succeeded in getting rid of your sins? |
39566 | He could only cry out in astonishment,''Father, why am I, thine obedient son, thus smitten?'' |
39566 | How are we to combine these two sets of arrangements in our thinking?" |
39566 | How can God make his frown felt except by looking pain, so to speak, into the sinner''s conscience? |
39566 | How could it be otherwise? |
39566 | How is carbon brought into this state of suspense, waiting to dash upon oxygen and develop heat? |
39566 | How is this accomplished? |
39566 | How is this diurnal change of temperature alleviated?" |
39566 | How is this provision for suffering in man and in all sentient creatures consistent with the benevolence elsewhere shown? |
39566 | How much heat is given out in the freezing of water?" |
39566 | How shall their motions be explained? |
39566 | How shall we estimate the strength of this force? |
39566 | How were you interested in the sermon?" |
39566 | How would that affect the rate of radiation from the earth?" |
39566 | How would you apply this principle to the subject we are now considering? |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | If Nature and Nature''s God have blessings in store for the willing and the obedient, why should not I know this and receive my share?" |
39566 | If a second example were made of a second ungodly city, would the expression of divine wrath be weakened? |
39566 | If, however, you want something else than the salvation which Jesus gives, what can you expect but perplexity, difficulty, darkness? |
39566 | Is it a new and original generation of heat, or is it merely a transfer? |
39566 | Is it because it evaporates before it reaches a sufficiently high temperature?" |
39566 | Is it not reasonable to believe that he designed it for their use? |
39566 | Is it wrong to wish for such an experience?" |
39566 | Is that so?" |
39566 | Is this plain to you, Ansel, and does it seem reasonable?" |
39566 | Is this possible? |
39566 | Is your happiness here and hereafter more important to Samuel than to yourselves?" |
39566 | Jesus has gone to prepare mansions for those who will, as he foresees, believe in him: why not make provision for foreseen evils also? |
39566 | Mr. Hume, can you suggest any method by which we can estimate the amount of heat which is carried north and south by the return trades?" |
39566 | Mr. Wilton proposed the question to the class:"What shall be our next course of lessons? |
39566 | Must he, then, after having caught a glimpse of life and joy, be cut off from hope and be driven from God for ever? |
39566 | No one else answered, and finally Mr. Hume said:"I suppose, of course, that you refer to the land and sea breezes?" |
39566 | On the other hand, when the sun sets and his heat is withdrawn, why does not the temperature fall suddenly to the lowest possible point? |
39566 | Ought we to believe that God planned the world for an object for which it never has been and never will be employed? |
39566 | Perhaps you will tell us what seems to you to be that object? |
39566 | Peter, have you ever seen a coal- pit? |
39566 | Plant a grain of corn in midwinter: why does it not germinate and grow? |
39566 | Samuel, what is a third cause of unequal temperature?" |
39566 | Samuel, will you name the second chief source of heat?" |
39566 | Shall we from the burden flee? |
39566 | Some even ventured to approach Mr. Hume himself with their raillery:"What do you think now of being dipped in the river in honor of a dead man?" |
39566 | The Creator foresaw the fall of man; is there no objection to the supposition that, knowing that man would sin, God made no provision for it? |
39566 | The young man answered,''All these have I kept from my youth up; what lack I yet?'' |
39566 | Then Ansel spoke up:"Mr. Wilton, why can we not study something which we know to be true?" |
39566 | Was it merely an accident that the dove was fitted to become the emblem of purity and of the Holy Spirit? |
39566 | Was not this so?" |
39566 | What care could give him knowledge of the qualities of all natural substances, that he might avoid their dangerous properties? |
39566 | What carefulness could guard against the tornado on the land, or the hurricane and the cyclone upon the sea? |
39566 | What could his confession do for the young men already, perhaps, among the lost through his influence? |
39566 | What did he mean by that, Samuel?" |
39566 | What does man need besides scope and reward for exertion? |
39566 | What effect, Peter, has the unevenness of the earth''s surface upon temperature?" |
39566 | What if Christ be the Son of God? |
39566 | What if a third example be made of a third city? |
39566 | What if every wicked city is made an example? |
39566 | What if hydrogen were put in the place of nitrogen? |
39566 | What if some other equally active element were mingled with oxygen to form the atmosphere? |
39566 | What if there be a future life and a judgment day? |
39566 | What if, in place of nitrogen, vapor of sulphur were substituted? |
39566 | What is another cause of inequality of temperature?" |
39566 | What is meant by this? |
39566 | What is that?" |
39566 | What is the chief form of this which is used for the production of heat? |
39566 | What is the general principle touching the effect of heat upon bodies?" |
39566 | What is the meaning of this? |
39566 | What is understood, Ansel, by this term, specific heat?" |
39566 | What need is there of a creator? |
39566 | What power should save him from the bursting of the volcano and the jaws of the earthquake? |
39566 | What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits? |
39566 | What was a confession in comparison with the ruin he had caused? |
39566 | What will be the end of his groping in darkness? |
39566 | What would be the effect, Ansel, if the atmosphere were as warm, or warmer, at the top than at the surface of the earth? |
39566 | What, Mr. Hume, do you think the effect would be upon creatures such as we all know men to be?" |
39566 | When radiant heat falls upon a body, what becomes of it?" |
39566 | Which will encourage the larger manliness and nurture the higher culture and strength? |
39566 | Who can prove that the universe did not exist from eternity? |
39566 | Who should stand sentinel against the unseen poison borne upon the wings of the wind? |
39566 | Who will mention another method by which heat is economized?" |
39566 | Who will suggest it?" |
39566 | Who will tell us?" |
39566 | Why does not the dew-- for frost is nothing but dew frozen as it forms-- come upon the under side of the paper?" |
39566 | Why is this, Samuel?" |
39566 | Why not give up my own will? |
39566 | Why not pray that God''s will may be done?'' |
39566 | Will some one explain this?" |
39566 | Will some one mention some of the general methods by which the waste of heat is prevented?" |
39566 | Will some one now state the manner in which the dynamic theory of heat explains this expansion?" |
39566 | Will some one suggest what this agency is?" |
39566 | Will you bolt the door? |
39566 | Will you not come to him? |
39566 | Will you not trust his promises and commit yourselves to his hands to be saved? |
39566 | Will you tell us, Peter, the first and chief of these effects?" |
39566 | Will you tell us, Samuel, how winds are caused?" |
39566 | Will you tell us, Samuel, the first adjustment or arrangement upon which the temperature of the earth depends?" |
39566 | Will you, Mr. Hume, suggest one of the general arrangements for the economical use of heat?" |
39566 | Wilt thou not bow their pride of heart and turn their wills and make their hearts tender, gentle, and believing? |
39566 | Wilt thou not draw them to thyself? |
39566 | Wilt thou not smite the rock, and cause the waters of penitent grief to flow? |
39566 | With these machines before you, could you tell me whether the inventor were a wise and skillful machinist?" |
39566 | Would God forgive and raise to heavenly heights a man who had dragged others down to hell? |
39566 | Would it be possible that Christ should fill his soul with blessedness while his victims were drinking the wine of the wrath of God? |
39566 | Would it have been wiser and better to leave out of account that most stupendous fact in the history of the human race? |
39566 | Would that seem to be a fitting employment for the sinless children of the all- loving Father? |
39566 | Would you be satisfied to have a commonplace experience, such as thousands of others have, which would attract no special notice? |
39566 | Would you like to study one of the Epistles-- the Epistle to the Romans or that to the Hebrews?" |
39566 | Yet, taken as a whole, can one doubt that variety of climate and change of temperature are of advantage to man? |
39566 | You cry out,''Men and brethren, what shall we do?'' |
39566 | and Peter''s answer,"Lord, to whom shall we go? |
39566 | and the lion, of strength and regal state? |
39566 | and, What is it for God to glorify himself by his works of creation and government? |
39566 | he asked;"do you think Genesis less trustworthy than the Epistle of Paul?" |
39566 | the ant, to be the type of prudent industry? |
39566 | the horse, of spirit and daring? |
39566 | the lamb, to be the emblem of gentleness, of Christ the gentle Sufferer, and of his suffering people? |
14453 | ''But why not reveal true things first to the wise? |
14453 | ''How shall mortal man walk in such a yoke,''sayest thou,''even with the Son of God bearing it also?'' |
14453 | ''How then am I to try after it? |
14453 | ''I hope, sir, your health is better than it has been?'' |
14453 | ''I will be God among you; I will be myself to you.--You will not have me? |
14453 | ''Shall not God avenge his own elect,''he says,''which cry day and night unto him?'' |
14453 | ''What is it, then, to be pure in heart?'' |
14453 | ''What power can heal the broken- hearted?'' |
14453 | ''Why did you look for me? |
14453 | Ah, to whom shall we go? |
14453 | All come from the one mighty father: shall he judge the live thoughts of God, which is greater and which is less? |
14453 | And he said unto them,''How is it that ye sought me? |
14453 | And what shall we say of those coming, and yet to come and pass-- evermore issuing from the fountain of life, daily born into evil things? |
14453 | And why are they always glad before the face of the Father in heaven? |
14453 | And why should he have taken it for granted they would know, or judge that they ought to have known, that he was there? |
14453 | Are all to have the same face? |
14453 | Are these not worth making immortal? |
14453 | Are they authorized in translating the Greek thus? |
14453 | Are they not the fittest to receive them?'' |
14453 | Are we guilty of connivance, when silent as to the ambush whence we know the wicked arrow privily shot? |
14453 | Are we to call the traitor to account? |
14453 | Are we to treat persons known for liars and strife- makers as the children of the devil or not? |
14453 | Are we to turn away from them, and refuse to acknowledge them, rousing an ignorant strife of tongues concerning our conduct? |
14453 | Are you the lowest kind of creature that_ could_ be permitted to live? |
14453 | As to his being the Messiah, that was merest absurdity: did they not all know his father, the carpenter? |
14453 | Blessed of God because restored to an absence of sorrow? |
14453 | But a yoke is for drawing withal: what load is it the Lord is drawing? |
14453 | But had we once seen God face to face, should we not be always and for ever sure of him? |
14453 | But if all our light shine out, and none of our darkness, shall we not be in utmost danger of hypocrisy? |
14453 | But if the child try to possess as a house the thing his father made an organ, will he succeed in so possessing it? |
14453 | But if the thought be anywise precious to you, is it essential to your enjoyment in it, that nothing less than yourself should share its realization? |
14453 | But if you do, why not believe in it for them? |
14453 | But is toothache nothing, because there are yet worse pains for head and face? |
14453 | But let us waste no strength in despising such men; let us rather turn the light upon ourselves: are we not in some way denying him? |
14453 | But shall I admire their discoveries at the expense of the stranger-- nay, no stranger-- the poor brother within their gates? |
14453 | But what if your righteousness tarry, because your hunger after it is not eager? |
14453 | But what is this liberty of the children of God, for which the whole creation is waiting? |
14453 | But what shall I say of such as for any kind of end subject animals to torture? |
14453 | But why inquire? |
14453 | But would such restoration be comfort enough for the heart of Jesus to give? |
14453 | Can there be oneness without difference? |
14453 | Could Love create with such end in view? |
14453 | Could we see things always as we have sometimes seen them-- and as one day we must always see them, only far better-- should we ever know dullness? |
14453 | Darest thou imply a divine preference for Capernaum over Nazareth?'' |
14453 | Dead, in bondage to corruption, how can they share in the liberty of the children of Life? |
14453 | Did he ever say,''This is mine, not yours''? |
14453 | Did he not say,''All things are mine, therefore they are yours''? |
14453 | Did you not know that I must be among my father''s things?'' |
14453 | Do we understand it? |
14453 | Do you believe in immortality for yourself? |
14453 | Does he intend''my father and me''? |
14453 | Does he intend_ all of us men_? |
14453 | Does he make the least lamentation over the temple? |
14453 | Does not he then, who loves and understands his book, possess it with such possession as is impossible to the other? |
14453 | Does not this involve its existence beyond what we call this world? |
14453 | Dost thou look for a good time coming, friend, when thou shalt know as thou art known? |
14453 | Dost thou not justify thy deed to thyself by thy tenderness toward me? |
14453 | First then, what does Paul, the slave of Christ, intend by''the creature''or''the creation''? |
14453 | For how can God in any sense forgive, remit, or send away the sin which a man insists on retaining? |
14453 | For the sake of your children, would you waylay a beggar? |
14453 | For what good, for what divine purpose is the maker of the sparrow present at its death, if he does not care what becomes of it? |
14453 | For what is a lamp or a man lighted? |
14453 | For what makes the thing a book? |
14453 | Had God been of like heart with you, would he have given life and immortality to creatures so much less than himself as we? |
14453 | Had he not known something better, would he have said what he did about the father of men and the sparrows? |
14453 | Had not those words found a way to the pure human, that is, the divine in the men? |
14453 | Has the question no interest for you? |
14453 | Have they not also a faithful creator? |
14453 | He_ is_ that thing; why think about it? |
14453 | How are they to go on loving it without a growing knowledge of it? |
14453 | How can he keep in his sight a foul presence? |
14453 | How can we be workers with God at his work, and he never say''Thank you, my child''? |
14453 | How could the divine order of things, founded for growth and gradual betterment, hold and proceed without the notion of return for a thing done? |
14453 | How did they bear him witness? |
14453 | How shall he die to escape the remorse of the authorship of so much misery? |
14453 | How should it be otherwise? |
14453 | How should it not be so, when the one Power is the informing life of both? |
14453 | How should that woman care to be delivered from her sins, how could she accept any comfort, who believed the child of her bosom lost to her for ever? |
14453 | How should the treasure of the Father be open to such? |
14453 | How, then, am I to let my light shine, if I take pains to hide what I do? |
14453 | How, then, were they worth calling out of the depth of no- being? |
14453 | If a woman forget the child she has borne and nourished, how shall she remember the father from whom she has herself come? |
14453 | If another have none, thine must lie in thy superior power; and will there not one day come a stronger than thou? |
14453 | If any one say,''Why did the Lord let the word remain there so long, if he never said it?'' |
14453 | If he did say''_ my father''s house_'', could he have meant the temple and his parents not have known what he meant? |
14453 | If he meant that they might have known this without being told, why was it that, even when he set the thing before them, they did not understand him? |
14453 | If his faith in God take from a man his cheerfulness, how shall the face of a man ever shine? |
14453 | If his presence be no good to the sparrow, are you very sure what good it will be to you when your hour comes? |
14453 | If one answer,''For aught I know, it may be so,''--Where then are thy own rights? |
14453 | If such then be the words of the apostle, does he, or does he not, I ask, hold the idea of the immortality of the animals? |
14453 | If the Father will raise his children, why should he not also raise those whom he has taught his little ones to love? |
14453 | If the Lord said very little about animals, could he have done more for them than tell men that his father cared for them? |
14453 | If they had denied him, where would our gospel be? |
14453 | In the Perfect, would familiarity ever destroy wonder at things essentially wonderful because essentially divine? |
14453 | In which of his changing moods is he more himself? |
14453 | Is God a mocker, who will not be mocked? |
14453 | Is Time too much for him? |
14453 | Is any other imaginable reward worth mentioning beside it? |
14453 | Is he a loving God? |
14453 | Is he a merciful God? |
14453 | Is he the husbandman to take all the profit, and muzzle the mouth of his ox? |
14453 | Is he to tell them the horrors of the persecutions that await them, and not the sweet sympathies that will help them through? |
14453 | Is it a grand thing, is it a meritorious thing, not to be vile? |
14453 | Is it in wine only that the old is better? |
14453 | Is it not of the very essence of the Christian hope, that we shall be changed from much bad to all good? |
14453 | Is it not that it has a soul-- the mind in it of him who wrote the book? |
14453 | Is it selfish to desire to love? |
14453 | Is it selfish to hope for purity and the sight of God? |
14453 | Is it shining before men so that they glorify God for it? |
14453 | Is it what he himself thinks he is? |
14453 | Is it what his friends at any given moment think him? |
14453 | Is not our love to the animals a precious variety of love? |
14453 | Is not the prophecy on the groaning creation to have its fulfilment in the new heavens and the new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness? |
14453 | Is not virtue then a reward? |
14453 | Is our light bearing witness? |
14453 | Is the Lord such as they believe him? |
14453 | Is there a past to God with which he has done? |
14453 | Is there any mourning worthy the name that has not love for its root? |
14453 | Is there anything to be proud of in refusing to worship the devil? |
14453 | Is this the fine of the great buyer of land, to have his fine pate full of fine dirt? |
14453 | It is a greater deed, to make be that which was not, than to seal it with an infinite immortality: did God do that which was not worth doing? |
14453 | It was the Israelite indeed, whom the Lord met with miracle:''Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig- tree, believest thou? |
14453 | It will take the utmost joy God can give, to let men know him; and what man, knowing him, would mind losing every other joy? |

14453 | Mayst thou not one day be in Naboth''s place, with an Ahab getting up to go into thy vineyard to possess it? |
14453 | Must he give them no help to counterbalance the load with which they start on their race? |
14453 | Must not the light of truth in his face, beheld of such even as knew not the truth, have lifted their souls up truthward? |
14453 | Must she keep away until she knows herself sorry for her sins? |
14453 | Must the Lord hide from his friends that they will have cause to rejoice that they have been obedient? |
14453 | Must the creator send forth his virtue to hold alive a thing that will be evil-- a thing that ought not to be, that has no claim but to cease? |
14453 | Must the love live on for ever without its object? |
14453 | Must the very immortality of love divide the bond of love? |
14453 | Must there be only current and no tide? |
14453 | Must we congratulate you on such a love for your fellows as inspires you to wrong the weaker than they, those that are without helper against you? |
14453 | Must we fail still? |
14453 | Need I argue the injustice? |
14453 | Now what can God''s elect have to keep on crying for, night and day, but righteousness? |
14453 | Only what other joy could keep from entering, where the God of joy already dwelt? |
14453 | Or can he have been with him, and have left him behind in his closet? |
14453 | Or did he care for them, but could not help them? |
14453 | Or does he intend''you and me, John''? |
14453 | Shall not the children have little dogs under the Father''s table, to which to let fall plenty of crumbs? |
14453 | Shall not_ the_ Father do_ his_ best to find his prodigal? |
14453 | Shall we count the man worthy who, for the sake of his friend, robbed another man too feeble to protect himself, and too poor to punish his assailant? |
14453 | Shall we not rather believe that the vessels of less honour, the misused, the maltreated, shall be filled full with creative wine at last? |
14453 | Should we not just open our own child- eyes, look upon the things themselves, and be consoled? |
14453 | Starts thy soul, trembles thy brain at the thought of such a burden as the will of the eternally creating, eternally saving God? |
14453 | That is like the lawyer''s''Who is my neighbour?'' |
14453 | The Father is father_ for_ his children, else why did he make himself their father? |
14453 | The Greek, taken literally, says,''Wist ye not that I must be in the----of my father?'' |
14453 | The Lord knew these men, and had their hearts in his hand; else would he have told them they were the salt of the earth and the light of the world? |
14453 | The Lord would have men love righteousness, but how are they to love it without being acquainted with it? |
14453 | The man who takes no count of what is fair, friendly, pure, unselfish, lovely, gracious,--where is his claim to call Jesus his master? |
14453 | The plural article implies the English_ things_; and the question is then, What_ things_ does he mean? |
14453 | The rich man may come prowling after thy little ewe lamb, and what wilt thou have to say? |
14453 | The sons of God are not a new race of sons of God, but the old race glorified:--why a new race of animals, and not the old ones glorified? |
14453 | The typical soul reappears in higher formal type; why may not also the individual soul reappear in higher form? |
14453 | Then, if the earth must have its animals, why not the old ones, already dear? |
14453 | Therefore, that he is empty of good, needs discourage no one; for what is emptiness but room to be filled? |
14453 | They had heard of wonderful things he had done in other places: why had they not first of all been done in_ their_ sight? |
14453 | They have little, and we have much; ought they therefore to have less and we more? |
14453 | To what purpose is the spirit of God promised to them that ask it, if not to help them order their way aright? |
14453 | Was ever love so deep, so pure, so perfect, as to be good enough for him? |
14453 | Was it not the something true, common to all hearts, that bore the wondering witness to the graciousness of his words? |
14453 | Was it wrong to assure them that where he was going they should go also? |
14453 | Was that his saying? |
14453 | We must be nowise anxious to defend ourselves; and if not ourselves because God is our defence, then why our friends? |
14453 | Were they created only to become dear, and be destroyed? |
14453 | What are we for but to do our duty? |
14453 | What are we to understand by''my father''s things''? |
14453 | What better can we do for our neighbour than to become altogether righteous toward him? |
14453 | What can be done for the poor things-- except indeed you take the absurd notion into your head, that they too have a life beyond the grave?'' |
14453 | What did Jesus come into the world to do? |
14453 | What did his saying mean? |
14453 | What first reward for doing well, may I look for? |
14453 | What is he there for, I repeat, if he have no care that it go well with his bird in its dying, that it be neither comfortless nor lost in the abyss? |
14453 | What is it constitutes this or that man? |
14453 | What is there for us when we discover that we are out of the way, but to bethink ourselves and turn? |
14453 | What light can he have in him who is always on his own side, and will never descry reason or right on that of his adversary? |
14453 | What man would he be who accepted the offer to be healed and kept alive by means which necessitated the torture of certain animals? |
14453 | What more could it be? |
14453 | What saves his claim from being merest mockery? |
14453 | What shall we say of him who comes from his closet, his mountain- top, with such a veil over his face as masks his very humanity? |

14453 | What was the new covenant? |
14453 | What would the newest earth be to the old children without its animals? |
14453 | When his reward comes, will the youth feel aggrieved that it is Greek, and not bank- notes? |
14453 | Where does he find symbols whereby to speak of what goes on in the mind and before the face of his father in heaven? |
14453 | Where is the evil toward God, where the wrong to my neighbour, if I think sometimes of the joys to follow in the train of perfect loving? |
14453 | Where is their deliverance? |

14453 | Whereon will they ground their complaint should God give them their hearts''desire? |
14453 | Wherewith is the cart laden which he would have us help him draw? |
14453 | Whether the Syriac words he used were more precise, who in this world can tell? |
14453 | Which is the richer-- the man who, his large money spent, would have no refuge; or he for whose necessity a hundred would sacrifice comfort? |
14453 | Which of the two possessed the earth-- king Agrippa or tent- maker Paul? |
14453 | Who had a claim equal to theirs? |
14453 | Who will count himself deceived by overfulfilment? |
14453 | Why cast out a devil that the man may the better do the work of the devil? |
14453 | Why did they not understand it? |
14453 | Why should a man meditate with satisfaction on having denied himself some selfish indulgence, any more than on having washed his hands? |
14453 | Why should it not then involve immortality? |
14453 | Why should such a notion seem to you absurd? |
14453 | Why then think of it as anything more? |
14453 | Why was his arrival with such words in his heart and mouth, the coming of the kingdom? |
14453 | Why? |
14453 | Will he not be the nearer sharing in the exceeding great reward of a return to the divine idea? |
14453 | Will he take joy in his success and give none? |
14453 | With what but the will of the eternal, the perfect Father? |
14453 | Would Satan, with all the instincts and impulses of his origin in him, have_ merited_ eternal life by refusing to be a devil? |
14453 | Would it not be more like the king eternal, immortal, invisible, to know no life but the immortal? |
14453 | Would not such acknowledgment from the father be the natural correlate of the child''s behaviour? |
14453 | Would such a mother be a woman of whom the saviour of men might have been born? |
14453 | Would such a new heaven be a thing to thank God for? |
14453 | Would the Lord have such a one be of good cheer, of merry heart, because her sins were forgiven her? |
14453 | Would this be a prospect on which the Son of Man would congratulate the mourner, or at which the mourner for the dead would count himself blessed? |
14453 | Yes, if we but hide our darkness, and do not strive to slay it with our light: what way have we to show it, while struggling to destroy it? |
14453 | Your conscience does not trouble you? |
14453 | Zeal for God will never eat them up: why should it? |
14453 | _ JESUS IN THE WORLD._''Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? |

14453 | and thou seen as the receiver of the reward!_ In what other way could the word, then or now, be fairly understood? |
14453 | and what would the father''s smile be but the perfect reward of the child? |
14453 | can I do so without knowing what it is?'' |
14453 | harmony without distinction? |
14453 | is he not their defence as much as ours? |
14453 | is thy friend''s esteem then so small? |
14453 | no moment in which to sob-- Sister, brother, I am thy slave? |
14453 | no room for making amends? |
14453 | or are we to give warning of any sort? |
14453 | or worse still, must the love die with its object, and be eternal no more than it? |
14453 | seek the praise of God for laying our hearts at the feet of him to whom we utterly belong? |
14453 | seek the praise of men for being fair to our own brothers and sisters? |
14453 | the good shepherd to find his lost sheep? |
14453 | then why faces at all? |
14453 | to create nothing that could die; to slay nothing but evil? |
14453 | to something that is not we, which means annihilation? |
14453 | what hope for the self- indulgent, the conceited, the greedy, the miserly? |
14453 | where his claim to Christianity? |

16276 | Are these things so? 16276 But how is this to be attained? |
16276 | But is not the time come to pass when before thy people call thou answerest, and while they are yet speaking, thou hearest? 16276 But this labor of love; who could have hoped for it? |
16276 | Can all the philosophic ingenuity of London, this evening, produce such a scene? 16276 Dear mother,"he replied,"what religion can there be in italics?" |
16276 | Did not the dove, my dear J----, get into the ark? 16276 Do I, O my God, seek for or desire any other foundation? |
16276 | Do you remember how much I used to say about our dear Methodist Society in Antigua? 16276 Do you think it lawful for Christians to attend public places, or to spend their time in reading plays? |
16276 | Dr. R---- preached from Psalm 27:1,''The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 16276 Father, O my Father, am I not still thy child-- still thy adopted? |
16276 | Has the Lord given me in some measure victory over the world? 16276 Have we then any cause for fear? |
16276 | Have you Newton''s letters? 16276 Have you any doubts, then, my dear friend?" |
16276 | I am anxious, my dearest father, to know the particulars of my mother''s death: who attended her in her illness? 16276 I can not but regret your want of pastoral food; yet ought I to regret any thing? |
16276 | I have often inquired, What is there within us, or without us, on which a sinner can rest in peace in a dying hour? 16276 I have shut my door, desiring to commune with God, but feeling dull and lifeless, ask what shall I read? |
16276 | I suppose my J---- has sinned; what then? 16276 Is it so? |
16276 | Is not godliness gain? 16276 Joyful, with all the strength I have, My quivering lips should sing,''Where is thy boasted victory, Grave, And where the monster''s sting?'' |
16276 | Mrs. Graham,said he,"have you ever prayed to the Lord to provide good servants for you? |
16276 | O Death, where is thy sting? 16276 O Lord, my covenant God, all my desire is before thee; is it not that thou magnify thy grace in me and in my family? |
16276 | O my God, is not my own death at hand? 16276 O my God, my merciful and gracious God, what can I say of thy amazing, distinguishing mercy to me? |
16276 | O my God, what is my life, what is my happiness but a continual receiving? 16276 O, why will sinners resist the grace of God, and spend the precious time given to seek and find it in thoughtless folly? |
16276 | This great I AM is my portion-- what can I ask beside? 16276 We deserve this bereavement; but, Lord, what do we not deserve? |
16276 | Well, what shall we say? 16276 What might not be done by men-- by men of talent, of standing, of wealth, of leisure? |
16276 | What shall I render to the Lord for all his mercies-- mercies temporal, mercies spiritual, mercies eternal, multiplied mercies? 16276 When was it that the Lord proclaimed this, and took unto himself this name? |

16276 | A little after, he said,''Who died for all?'' |
16276 | A time was when a kind Saviour was expostulating with them:''Why will you die?'' |
16276 | Accordingly I stopped Dr. Bowie on the gallery:''Tell me, doctor,''said I,''what have I to expect? |
16276 | After such examples, who will dare to charge the doctrines of the cross of Christ with licentiousness? |
16276 | Alas, my child, did you listen for the voice of your babe? |
16276 | Am I living in the indulgence of any known wilful sin; or in the habitual neglect of any known duty? |
16276 | And are these things so indeed? |
16276 | And did the Lord take vengeance on my inventions? |
16276 | And how can God do this, whose law is, as himself, immutable; and who adds''that he will by no means clear the guilty?'' |
16276 | And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? |
16276 | And shall I covet that for my child which I despise for myself? |
16276 | And shall I reach their highest tone Of love to Jesus? |
16276 | And what can I say? |
16276 | Angels and fellow- sinners, say, Will you not join me in this lay, Now, and through heaven''s eternal day? |
16276 | Are not all my hopes for time and eternity built on this foundation? |
16276 | Are there none among you to hear her voice from the tomb, Go and do thou likewise? |
16276 | Are these the Christians? |
16276 | Are they again to be made heirs of eternal life? |
16276 | Are they all for sin? |
16276 | Are we heirs of God and joint- heirs with Christ? |
16276 | Are we not his witnesses? |
16276 | Are you not obliged to drive away your own reflections? |
16276 | Art thou my Husband? |
16276 | Art thou not calling with power,''Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings?'' |
16276 | Art thou not made of God unto thy people, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption? |
16276 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
16276 | Believest thou this?'' |
16276 | But Oh, what am I to think of the fruits? |
16276 | But what can I say on those subjects? |
16276 | But what is all this to a thoughtless world, insensible of their situation, danger, and need? |
16276 | But what is that to me? |
16276 | But who are these children that idly ramble through the streets, a prey to growing depravity and vicious example? |
16276 | But why look so much at your vow? |
16276 | But why say I so? |
16276 | Can I attribute any thing to myself? |
16276 | Can I believe it? |
16276 | Can I, or any one else, describe my situation, or what I felt at that moment? |
16276 | Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? |
16276 | Christ ran with me, and through Christ I hope to win,''''But you have no fear, no doubts, about your going to be with Christ?'' |
16276 | Dare I say that I, worm as I am, and a sinful worm, am the subject of this loving- kindness, through the righteousness of Christ? |
16276 | Dare I utter a word or harbor a murmuring thought? |
16276 | Dare you, my son, sit down and think over all the past, all the present, and look forward to the future with any degree of comfort? |
16276 | Did Jesus once upon me shine? |
16276 | Did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned? |
16276 | Do I desire, have I asked and persisted in asking for my children, salvation from sin and self? |
16276 | Do I understand and know thee, that thou art the Lord which exerciseth righteousness, loving- kindness, and judgment in the earth? |
16276 | Do its honors, riches, and gaudy splendor appear to me empty and vain, and not worth an anxious thought? |
16276 | Do we hear a word of his art as a slinger, as a marksman? |
16276 | Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? |
16276 | Do you think these things tend, either immediately or remotely, to promote the glory of God? |
16276 | Do you think your friend is always on the mount? |
16276 | Does it find you in a situation to dig your garden, sow your seeds, and make provision for future comfort? |
16276 | Does no wounded pride, no selfish hurt mix? |
16276 | Does not the ark of the covenant appear, going before me? |
16276 | Does provision of food and raiment by the way through this wilderness seem all that is necessary? |
16276 | Does the opening spring cheer your spirits, and furnish a song of praise? |
16276 | Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? |
16276 | Has he not hitherto done all things well? |
16276 | Has he proved a good master? |
16276 | Has it not satisfied my soul, and in some degree allayed my thirst for carnal delights? |
16276 | Has the Lord turned your captivity, and dried up the bitter waters that flowed against you? |
16276 | Has the barrel of meal or the cruse of oil failed? |
16276 | Hast thou not also brought me to this living, life- giving water? |
16276 | Hast thou not been working on the right hand and on the left? |
16276 | Hast thou not in former days had thy dwelling among them? |
16276 | Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God fainteth not, neither is weary? |
16276 | Hast thou not procured this to thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way? |
16276 | Hast thou not redeemed me from vain imaginations? |
16276 | Hast thou not taught my soul its miserable and ruined state by nature; its helplessness as well as misery? |
16276 | Hast thou not, O God, prepared the hearts of thy people to pray, and thine ear to hear? |
16276 | Have I been a barren wilderness, or a land of darkness unto thee? |
16276 | Have not I an Advocate with thee, Jesus Christ the righteous, whom thou hearest always? |
16276 | Have not I asked for my children their mother''s portion? |
16276 | Have not my own afflictions been my greatest blessings? |
16276 | Have you, my son, been happy? |
16276 | He answered,''My dear, do you think they will forget me?'' |
16276 | He said,''Of what?'' |
16276 | He shall roll back the foaming wave, Command the channel dry; No sting has death, no victory grave? |
16276 | Here at my heart it lies still; who can speak to me of it? |
16276 | How are your eyes, after all the briny tears that have steeped them? |
16276 | How are your poor nerves, after all the shocks that have agitated them? |
16276 | How can that be solid joy Which a moment may destroy?'' |
16276 | I am also satisfied that it will be the best time; but still I cry, O how long? |
16276 | I have not suffered persecution; and why? |
16276 | I said, True; but why avoid the tenor of Scripture? |
16276 | I said,''My love, she thinks you want to say something to me; can you speak?'' |
16276 | I said,''My love, you know I have great faith in the prayers of God''s people; suppose you should beg an interest in them this afternoon?'' |
16276 | If such things were done in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" |
16276 | In all the myriads which shall appear at the bar of God, will there be such a sinner-- taking into view the early grace manifested? |
16276 | In all these myriads, is there one Who had on earth so much forgiven? |
16276 | In an acceptable time-- when? |
16276 | Is Israel a servant; is he a home- born slave; wherefore is he spoiled? |
16276 | Is all this so, and shall I tremble at the approach of any of his providences? |
16276 | Is he himself become our salvation? |
16276 | Is it not worth inquiring into? |
16276 | Is it so? |
16276 | Is it thy pleasure, Lord, that I attend the children on a day appointed for the purpose? |
16276 | Is not Christ all my salvation and all my desire? |
16276 | Is not this Bible Society, and are not these associations for prayer, tokens from thee for good? |
16276 | Is not this according to thy will? |
16276 | Is not this, O Lord, the full amount of my desires? |
16276 | Is our life hid with Christ in God? |
16276 | Is this God my God, and the God of my seed? |
16276 | Let it pass; suffer it quietly; when your scheme begins to ripen and the fruits appear, who shall be able to withhold their praise? |
16276 | Let us drink and be refreshed, rejoice and praise: for Oh, who can tell the amount of our riches, in having God for our portion? |
16276 | Look at Paul''s experience-- what does he say of the believer''s state? |
16276 | Lord, help me; hast thou not promised to work in me both''to will and to do of thy good pleasure?'' |
16276 | Maidens, are there none among you who would wish to array yourselves hereafter in the honors of this virtuous woman? |
16276 | Matrons, has she left her mantle also? |
16276 | Mr. Y---- preached a very excellent sermon from the Song of Solomon,''Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved?'' |
16276 | My Bible lies just at hand; where shall I read? |
16276 | My Father, thou art the guide of my youth?'' |
16276 | Nicodemus, with all his learning, was a stranger to this doctrine:''How can a man be born when he is old?'' |
16276 | None whom affluence permits, endowments qualify, and piety prompts, to aim at her distinction by treading in her steps? |
16276 | O dare I not to thee appeal, That''tis my first desire, That on this heart thou stamp thy seal And grave it with love''s fire? |
16276 | O my Redeemer, what can I say to thee? |
16276 | O the Hope of Israel and Saviour thereof, is not that day and that time come? |
16276 | O what could man or angel have done with this last character of thy name? |
16276 | O, do I not know thee by this name; has it not been thy name to me throughout this wide wilderness,''pardoning iniquity, transgression, and sin?'' |
16276 | O, my Juliet, where is the time to be spared for plays, assemblies, and such numerous idle parties of various descriptions? |
16276 | O, who can tell the cost? |
16276 | Often has he hailed me in some such language:''What aileth thee?'' |
16276 | Oh, could I not watch with thee one hour? |
16276 | Oh, hast thou not given me faith to come, faith to drink; and have I not experienced its solacing quality? |
16276 | Oh, is it not a well- ordered covenant, and sure?" |
16276 | On searching the Scriptures, her mind fastened on these words in John 21:15,"Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? |
16276 | One young man came into the cabin, asking,"Is there any peace here?" |
16276 | Ought I to be sad, who can say,''or in heaven?'' |
16276 | Said Paul,"If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? |
16276 | Shall I deny the grace of God through fear or pride? |
16276 | Shall I not say when it has taken place,''The will of the Lord be done,''especially when clothed with love? |
16276 | Shall conscious unworthiness, or weakness, or ignorance, prevent my answering? |
16276 | She then said,''This night?'' |
16276 | The gardens no doubt will be glorious, but the groundwork is also God''s; but why say I that in particular? |
16276 | The severe winter is past; how have you got along? |
16276 | The waves toss high their foaming heads, But can''st thou perish? |
16276 | The young man asks him,''What good thing shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?'' |
16276 | Then it was,''Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? |
16276 | These sinners said unto him,''What shall we do that we might work the works of God?'' |
16276 | Think then, and seriously ask,''What if it be so? |
16276 | Thou art mine, and I am thine: thou art mine with all thy fulness, what can I want besides? |
16276 | Was it when I was full, or when in want, that I returned to my heavenly Father? |
16276 | What are earthly friends? |
16276 | What are we all, but broken reeds, which pierce the hand when laid hold of for support? |
16276 | What can I say to such grace? |
16276 | What can I say; what can I render to the Lord for all his gifts to me? |
16276 | What can I say? |
16276 | What can I say? |
16276 | What can they do, on such a bed of distress, who have no God? |
16276 | What has our whole life been, but sin, backslidings, and wanderings? |
16276 | What has such a one to do with a holy God? |
16276 | What have I to say then, but, Amen, do as thou hast said? |
16276 | What have his dealings with us been, but pardons, healings, restorations? |
16276 | What have you experienced more than the Scriptures tell us: that''the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked?'' |
16276 | What have you found in his service? |
16276 | What if this be indeed the word of God given by inspiration, for the rule of both our faith and manners, and by which we are to be judged? |
16276 | What if this same God, who so kindly reveals his will to men, has with it given the clearest evidences and strongest proofs that it is his own word?'' |
16276 | What in heaven or earth could save me, but thy covenant? |
16276 | What is our cup to his? |
16276 | What is the amount of it? |
16276 | What is the portion of the worldling? |
16276 | What is the truth of God''s salvation? |
16276 | What saved me? |
16276 | What the sum of blessings contained in it? |
16276 | What then have I to care for? |
16276 | What then? |
16276 | What was their whole history but backsliding, threatening upon threatening? |
16276 | What were the sins of Israel and Judah to mine? |
16276 | What were we to expect but that God should say, Why should they be stricken any more? |
16276 | What, O what can I say to such grace? |
16276 | When he appears, shall we, I and the children which he hath given me, in very deed appear with him in glory? |
16276 | When was it that Paul, the great apostle, could say he had fought the good fight? |
16276 | Where shall I begin? |
16276 | Wherefore say my people, We are lords, and will come no more to thee? |
16276 | Who are the authors of all these blessings? |
16276 | Who dares condemn the sinner whom Christ acquits? |
16276 | Who knows but these little services may one day save our scalps? |
16276 | Who shall lay any thing to his charge? |
16276 | Who told my friend that she was blind, and miserable, and wretched, and naked? |
16276 | Who told you of these evils and wants? |
16276 | Who would not trust that God, who alone can be_ the guide of our youth_? |
16276 | Why do I not wrestle more for the Spirit to breathe on them? |
16276 | Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? |
16276 | Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? |
16276 | Why should he be the man? |
16276 | Why then do they not diffuse thus extensively the seeds of knowledge, of virtue, and of bliss? |
16276 | Why then these tears? |
16276 | Why these sobs? |
16276 | Will you take Joshua''s determination? |
16276 | Wilt thou guide us by thy counsel while we live, and afterwards receive us to thy glory? |
16276 | Wonderful are all the works of creation; but Oh, what are they to thy work of redemption? |
16276 | Would I withdraw the blank I have put into the Redeemer''s hand? |
16276 | Yesterday I went to a meeting of----, who lay great stress on good morals; but, O my God, what could I do, shut up with them? |
16276 | Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? |
16276 | _______________"Is this the kind return, Are these the thanks we owe-- Thus to abuse eternal love, Whence all our blessings flow? |
16276 | _______________"My God, thy service well demands The remnant of my days: Why is this feeble life preserved, But to repeat thy praise? |
16276 | am I not better to thee than ten friends? |
16276 | am I not called to decamp and follow after? |
16276 | and again repeated,''Who died for all?'' |
16276 | and did she mention me, and leave me her blessing? |
16276 | and has he not disappointed all your gayest hopes, and fed you with husks? |
16276 | and hast thou not prepared their hearts to answer, Behold, we come unto thee, for thou art the Lord our God? |
16276 | and is it my wish, as well as form of prayer, that the Lord may give that in kind and degree which he sees fittest for me? |
16276 | and the three holy, harmless, zealous Moravian brethren? |
16276 | art thou the Father of my fatherless children? |
16276 | did she expect death? |
16276 | does not the blood of Christ cleanse from all sin? |
16276 | dost thou The invitation yet renew? |
16276 | in days of trouble didst thou not work in them the fruits of labor and patience, so that for thy name''s sake they labored and fainted not? |
16276 | in the valley of the shadow of death shall thy rod and staff support us? |
16276 | or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river? |
16276 | profitable for this life as well as that which is to come? |
16276 | rejoice that he has given you the heritage of his people-- leave the rest to him:''Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?'' |
16276 | shall not that land be greatly polluted? |
16276 | the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?'' |
16276 | the effects were seen on thy sacred body, but who can conceive the mysterious horror which agonized thy sacred soul? |
16276 | was she sensible? |
16276 | was the nurse who was with her a good woman? |
16276 | what does not this name comprehend? |
16276 | where now Thy boasted victory, O grave? |
16276 | who shall deliver me from this body of sin and death?'' |
16276 | why is thy countenance sad? |
16276 | wilt thou be the stay of these orphans, and their and my shield in a strange land? |
16276 | wilt thou care for us? |
16276 | wilt thou cover us with the shadow of thy wing? |
16276 | wilt thou perfect what concerns us? |
16276 | wilt thou_ never leave us, never forsake us_? |
16276 | with what temporal comfort, and how has the Lord dealt with your soul? |
30619 | And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? 30619 Do you not recognize,"they bragged,"the holiness of this entire congregation, among whom God dwells, daily performing his marvelous wonders?" |
30619 | Even if it does go ill with us,he would argue,"what indeed is our suffering in comparison with the unspeakable joy and glory to be revealed in us? |
30619 | For who hath known the mind of the Lord? 30619 Is Jehovah among us, or not?" |
30619 | Oh, who would not desire peace and comfort? |
30619 | Think you,our wise ones would say to him,"that you alone have the Holy Spirit, or that no one else is as eager for honor as yourself?" |
30619 | What did you in the summer time that you gathered nothing? |
30619 | What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? 30619 What then?" |
30619 | Why have you led us out of Egypt? |
30619 | Why make divisions and differences,Paul inquires,"in the doctrine and faith of the Church, which rests wholly upon the one Christ? |
30619 | 1, 8):"Hast thou considered my servant Job? |
30619 | 13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? |
30619 | 19 What then is the law? |
30619 | 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? |
30619 | 21 What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? |
30619 | 3 Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? |
30619 | 34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? |
30619 | 35 or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? |
30619 | Again, even though we are somewhat weak, is that any reason for saying all is lost? |
30619 | Again, why should I labor and toil for naught? |
30619 | And how so? |
30619 | And it will ever be true as Saint Paul says:"For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his counselor?" |
30619 | And since then, what has become of all the proud, haughty tyrants, who proposed to oppress and crush Christianity? |
30619 | And then, further to illustrate this, he says:"Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?" |
30619 | And what are the sufferings of all men combined when compared with Christ''s agony and conflict, in that he sweat blood for thee? |
30619 | And what did we under the papacy but walk blindly? |
30619 | And what does it avail if you are not able to say more than that God is merciful to the good and will punish the wicked? |
30619 | And what earthly thing is more desirable to man''s sight? |
30619 | And what is lacking with the moon and stars and the earth? |
30619 | And what must not one endure at court before he realizes, if he ever does, the fulfilment of his ambition? |
30619 | And what shall we say of those who will not endure the preaching of the glorious message of God''s grace and blessing, but condemn it as heresy? |
30619 | And wherefore slew he him? |
30619 | And who is to have any more respect for the righteousness of the Law if we are to preach in that strain? |
30619 | And whom do they serve? |
30619 | And why should I not throw away all the Scriptures? |
30619 | Are the people thereby made better? |
30619 | As Moses says in Deuteronomy 4, 7:"What great nation is there, that hath a god so nigh unto them, as Jehovah our God is whensoever we call upon him?" |
30619 | But how do they conduct themselves? |
30619 | But how is it to avoid service? |
30619 | But how will it be in the day of revelation? |
30619 | But the flesh asks: What do I know of God or his will? |
30619 | But they who are not Christians-- what have they but a terrible sentence like a weight about their necks? |
30619 | But thinkest thou I will remain silent and unprotesting? |
30619 | But to what purpose? |
30619 | But what are the blessings for which Paul''s prayer entreats? |
30619 | But what are we to do? |
30619 | But what is God''s attitude toward such conduct? |
30619 | But what is your pain measured by the eternal glory prepared for you and obtained by the sacrifice of your Savior Jesus Christ? |
30619 | But whence arises the world''s hatred? |
30619 | But who among men recognizes us as children of God? |
30619 | But who can discern the anguish of creation? |
30619 | But whom other than themselves have the Jews to blame for their condition? |
30619 | But whoso hath the world''s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?" |
30619 | But why do you make so much of your sufferings and never give a thought to what awaits you in heaven? |
30619 | But why multiply words? |
30619 | But with the great mass of the people, how long did faith last? |
30619 | But you may say:"What? |
30619 | Can you not be mindful of your environment-- that you are still in the world where vice and ingratitude hold sway? |
30619 | David says( Ps 139, 7- 8):"Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? |
30619 | Did we not long ago tell you he would meet such fate? |
30619 | Do you forbid good works? |
30619 | Do you know why and whereunto you have been baptized, and what it signifies that you have been baptized with water? |
30619 | Do you not acknowledge the necessity of political laws, of civil governments? |
30619 | Each one says: Why should I incur so much danger, opposition and hostility? |
30619 | Filled with astonishment, he exclaimed: What shall I say more? |
30619 | For human wisdom knows no better; and how could it know better without the revelation? |
30619 | For in your own judgment, what better thing could you have than is the Christian''s in his Gospel and his faith? |
30619 | For what is better and nobler than a quiet, peaceful heart? |
30619 | For what other person is profited by your entering a cloister, making yourself peculiar, refusing to live as your fellows do? |
30619 | For wherein can persecution harm if you strive for godliness and abide in it? |
30619 | For who would not wish to belong to such a Lord and Creator? |
30619 | Grace is opposed to sin and destroys it; how then should it strengthen or increase it? |
30619 | He is compelled to exclaim:"Alas, who knows how God will look upon my efforts? |
30619 | He says, commenting on Psalm 17,"What is Law without grace but a letter without spirit?" |
30619 | Hence it continued to be hidden and incomprehensible to such wisdom, as Saint Paul says:"For who hath known the mind of the Lord?" |
30619 | How can I think myself better than another by reason of my person or my gifts, rank or office? |
30619 | How can he be expected, then, to render a greater service-- to even lay down his life for his brother? |
30619 | How can he teach us? |
30619 | How can the works of the Law be good and precious, and yet repulsive and productive of evil?" |
30619 | How can this poor, sinful, miserable, filthy, polluted body become like unto that of the Son of God, the Lord of Glory? |
30619 | How can we poor, miserable mortals grasp this mystery of the Trinity? |
30619 | How could Cain be unmerciful and inhuman enough in his frenzy to murder his own flesh and blood? |
30619 | How could I be proud and presumptuous enough to boast myself the servant of the Lord Jesus Christ? |
30619 | How could we introduce through the Gospel a doctrine countenancing evil? |
30619 | How dare you then assert that such righteousness is misleading, and obstructive to eternal life? |
30619 | How do we know we have passed from death unto life? |
30619 | How does man lay hold of the Saviour in the heart? |
30619 | How manifest your love, humility, patience and meekness if you are unwilling to live among men? |
30619 | How many new saints, new brotherhoods, new psalms to Mary, and new rosaries and crowns did the monks daily invent? |
30619 | How much more then should God''s testament be honored intact? |
30619 | How shall I be supported? |
30619 | How shall I do it? |
30619 | How shall we stand and answer in his sight when we can not deny the fact that our life gives just cause for complaint and offense? |
30619 | How would they measure up in the greater duty of laying down their lives for the brethren, and especially for the Christian Church? |
30619 | How, then, does Paul come to speak so disparagingly, even abusively, of the Law, actually presenting it as veritable death and poison? |
30619 | How, then, is he in a position to say that they were abundantly supplied with all things spiritual, lacking not one thing? |
30619 | I answer: Why do you not complain to him who committed the office to me? |
30619 | If God''s supreme, unfathomable love fails to awaken the gratitude of the world, what wonder if the world hates you for all your kindness? |
30619 | If reason is to be my teacher in these things, what need is there of faith? |
30619 | If the question be asked,"Why do so? |
30619 | If we are not to wonder at this, is there anything in the world to incite wonder? |
30619 | If we fully and confidently believed this, then of what should we be afraid or who could do us harm? |
30619 | If you ask, Whence such a disposition? |
30619 | If you employ reason from mere love of disputation, why not devote it to questions concerning the daily workings of your physical nature? |
30619 | In other words: How is it possible that because grace should destroy sin ye should live unto sin? |
30619 | In this assurance will I pass out of life; not in uncertainty and anxiety, thinking, Who knows what sentence God in heaven will pass upon me?" |
30619 | In whom? |
30619 | Indeed, do you not admit that God himself commands such institutions and wills their observance, punishing where they are disregarded? |
30619 | Indeed, how can you serve your neighbor by such a life? |
30619 | Indeed, where should we dare look for them except where no people live? |
30619 | Is it all that is necessary to assert: God will reward with heaven such as are faithful to the order? |
30619 | Is it not a horrible thing that any man should shun and oppose such a Savior and his doctrine even more than he does the devil himself? |
30619 | Is it not better, then, to be free from the service of sin and to serve righteousness? |
30619 | Is it not in faith that we are to be rooted, engrafted and grounded? |
30619 | Is it not insupportable that a perishable worm, be he emperor or prince, should presume to apprehend God in heaven? |
30619 | Is it not much rather, as reason dictates and as all the world affirms, a disgrace to his followers that he lies there in prison? |
30619 | Is it not our doctrine that Christ first loved us, as John elsewhere says? |
30619 | Is it not right to lead an honorable, virtuous life? |
30619 | Is it not surpassing strange that one can hate those who love him and from whom he has received only kindness? |
30619 | Is it right for one to despise or dishonor God''s Law? |
30619 | Is not a chaste and honorable life a matter of beauty and godliness? |
30619 | Is our God one to permit us to wander for forty years in the wilderness until we all perish?" |
30619 | Is the apostle overbold in that he dares thus to assail the Law and say:"The Law is not only a lifeless letter, but qualified merely to kill"? |
30619 | Is the gold responsible for its use? |
30619 | Is their Christ such a one as they honor by their lives? |
30619 | Is there nothing else in store for the Christian but to die and be buried? |
30619 | Is there something more than mere words-- or letters, as Paul says? |
30619 | John''s thought is: The Law has indeed been given by Moses, but what avails that fact? |
30619 | Just so did Miriam and Aaron murmur against Moses, their own brother, saying:"Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? |
30619 | Just what does he mean? |
30619 | Know you whom you have apprehended and murdered? |
30619 | Let there be no caviling and contention on the score of possibility; be satisfied with the inquiry: Is it the Word of God? |
30619 | Moreover, what virtues, of all man possesses, serve him better than humility, meekness, patience and harmony of mind? |
30619 | Nevertheless, they submit and wait-- for what? |
30619 | Now, in what was the prophet lacking? |
30619 | Now, what care we that reason should regard it as foolishness? |
30619 | Now, what is the pride of all men toward God? |
30619 | Now, why is"the face of the Lord"upon evil- doers and what is its effect? |
30619 | Of what use is it for you to hate, chafe and curse against its attitude? |
30619 | Or what more than I has another to boast of before God concerning himself? |
30619 | Or, where will he find protection and defense, to abide in his godly ways? |
30619 | Otherwise why say they so much about it? |
30619 | Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10, 22:"Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? |
30619 | Paul takes up this matter and asks the question,"What then is the Law?" |
30619 | Shall all rise together? |
30619 | Shall those living on the earth at the last day meet Christ before others? |
30619 | Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
30619 | Shall we not perform any good works? |
30619 | Should Christ not revenge himself when they shamed and mocked his precious blood? |
30619 | Should we not condemn as a heretic this preacher who goes beyond his prerogative and dares find fault with the Law of God? |
30619 | Similarly today, Papists, Anabaptists and other sects make outcry:"What mean you by preaching so much about faith and Christ? |
30619 | Take all the wisdom, justice, jurisprudence, artifice, even the highest virtues the world affords, and what are they? |
30619 | The rude crowd cried: Oh, is it true that great grace follows upon great sin? |
30619 | Then why should we be surprised if he send down wrath upon us? |
30619 | Then why this bitter hatred against me and my message?" |
30619 | Therefore he begins his sermon by inquiring, in this sixth chapter( verses 1- 3):"What shall we say then? |
30619 | This being the case, where would be the need to pray? |
30619 | To whom do these minister? |
30619 | To whom, then, is their service given? |
30619 | Two mighty lords clash with each other like powerful battering rams, and for what? |
30619 | We read:"Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? |
30619 | We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?" |
30619 | Well does he say to the Jews through the prophet:"O my people, what have I done unto thee? |
30619 | What am I to do? |
30619 | What answer shall we make? |
30619 | What are earth and ashes proud of? |
30619 | What are you-- your powers and abilities, or those of all men, to effect this glorious thing? |
30619 | What assistance can he render you? |
30619 | What can the combined might of all creatures accomplish if God oppose himself thereto? |
30619 | What did not the Son of God incur for you? |
30619 | What does God care for the honor you seek from the world when you defy his Word with it? |
30619 | What does he mean? |
30619 | What does it signify that I show my love by hazarding life and limb to sustain this doctrine of the Gospel and help my neighbor? |
30619 | What does that concern the spiritual estate? |
30619 | What greater dishonor can Christians suffer than to have their ministers and pastors-- their instructors and consolers-- shamefully arrested? |
30619 | What if I should die?" |
30619 | What if the world, abiding in death, does hate and persecute you who abide in life? |
30619 | What incentive is there for any to render the world service when in ingratitude it rewards love with hatred? |
30619 | What injury have they done thee? |
30619 | What is a single penny measured by a world of dollars? |
30619 | What is it compared to the glory to be revealed in us? |
30619 | What is more desirable than to be freed from sin and the punishment and misery it involves, and to possess a joyful, cheerful heart and conscience? |
30619 | What is temporal suffering, however protracted, contrasted with eternal life? |
30619 | What is the Law after all, however much you may preach it to me, but that which makes me feel the weight of sin, death and condemnation? |
30619 | What is the nature of the prayer Paul here presents? |
30619 | What is the sighing and longing of creation? |
30619 | What is the world doing now? |
30619 | What more noble than, for the sake of Christ, to incur danger, to suffer injury, to aid the poor and needy? |
30619 | What more terrible retribution could their hatred and envy receive? |
30619 | What occasion, then, for divisions or for further seeking? |
30619 | What offense had godly Abel committed against his brother to be so hated? |
30619 | What pleasure or gain had you in it? |
30619 | What right has such a soul to boast-- how can he know-- that Christ has laid down his life for him and delivered him from death? |
30619 | What shall I say but that thou hast imprisoned and bound, not Paul, but me? |
30619 | What sin against the world did the beloved apostles commit? |
30619 | What term significant of greater abomination could he apply to God''s Law than to call it a doctrine of death and hell? |
30619 | What then shall we do, you say, when we must suffer such abuse and without redress? |
30619 | What unheardof talk is this? |
30619 | What were you? |
30619 | What will become of him who lives a God- fearing and humble life, suffering the insolence, pride and wantonness of the world? |
30619 | When Moses and the Law are made to say:"You should do thus; God demands this of you,"what does it profit? |
30619 | When we die-- spiritually unto sin, and physically to the world and self-- what doth it profit us? |
30619 | Whence did they derive their righteousness? |
30619 | Where is he now? |
30619 | Where now shall we find those who keep this commandment? |
30619 | Where then do they stand who entertain wrath and hatred indefinitely, for one, two, three, seven, ten years? |
30619 | Where will the untaught masses stand? |
30619 | Who can sufficiently magnify or utter God''s grace? |
30619 | Who comes to know God or to have a peaceful conscience by such practices on your part, or who is thereby influenced to love his neighbor? |
30619 | Who desires peace and comfort?" |
30619 | Who equals Luther as a translator? |
30619 | Who is benefited by your cowl, your austere countenance, your hard bed? |
30619 | Who is this second person? |
30619 | Who may stand before him?" |
30619 | Who robs you of your honor but yourself, by your own theft, your contempt of God, disobedience, murder, and so on? |
30619 | Who says the creature is in travail or unwillingly suffers its present state?" |
30619 | Who will assure you that you are good and that you are pleasing to God with your papistic, Turkish monkery and holiness? |
30619 | Who would not praise and exalt such virtue? |
30619 | Who, unless he would be a cursed heretic in the eyes of the world and invite execution as a blasphemer, would dare to speak thus, except Paul himself? |
30619 | Whom can its hatred injure? |
30619 | Whose fault will it be but your own since you would not hear Paul''s admonition to walk wisely and circumspectly? |
30619 | Why can not we take his view of the insignificance of our afflictions and the magnitude of the future glory? |
30619 | Why do we teach the ten commandments at all? |
30619 | Why does Paul choose this method? |
30619 | Why is it? |
30619 | Why not exalt the future glory also? |
30619 | Why should I seek therein righteousness before God?" |
30619 | Why should such a one fear death? |
30619 | Why this hostility? |
30619 | Why will we have so much to say about great sufferings and their merits? |
30619 | Why will you bring down your fist and stamp your foot in anger at such ingratitude? |
30619 | Why, then, does John say,"We have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren"? |
30619 | Why, then, does Paul here substitute"love?" |
30619 | Why, then, should we presume, with our reason, to compass and comprehend the eternal, invisible essence of God? |
30619 | With such a faith, how much better were we than the heathen and Turks? |
30619 | Would you not call these things faults and shortcomings? |
30619 | Yea, how could we guard ourselves against any deception and lying nonsense that might be offered as good works and as service of God? |
30619 | Yes, why complain even were you, in some measure, to endanger body and life? |
30619 | Yet what would be all that compared with one who is named and chosen by God himself, and called his son, the heir of exalted divine majesty? |
30619 | You may again object,"If what you say is true, why observe temporal restrictions? |
30619 | and wherein have I wearied thee? |
30619 | are we stronger than he?" |
30619 | do the words result in life and spirit? |
30619 | enter the heart of a Christian upon the occasion of a little trouble? |
30619 | for instance, where are the five senses during sleep? |
30619 | hath he not spoken also with us?" |
30619 | he asks,"shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?" |
30619 | if you so strenuously adhere to your self- appointed orders as to allow your neighbor to suffer want before you would dishonor your rules? |
30619 | in particular to further the Word of God and to support the ministry, the pulpit and the schools? |
30619 | just how is the sound of your own laughter produced? |
30619 | or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you? |
30619 | or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
30619 | or who hath been his counsellor? |
30619 | or who hath been his counselor? |
30619 | or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?" |
30619 | that before we ever loved him he died and rose again for us? |
30619 | that upon obedience to them depends the maintenance of discipline, peace and honor? |
30619 | that you are, as the phrase goes, with"those who return evil for good"? |
30619 | we who do not understand the operation of our own physical powers-- speech, laughter, sleep, things whereof we have daily experience? |
30619 | what fault committed? |
30619 | where has God commanded it?" |
30619 | who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?" |
30619 | why dost thou permit me to suffer this?" |
39092 | ''Sun and night serve mortals,''says Euripides-- but why us more than the ants or the flies? 39092 And who tells you this-- that you have equal power with Zeus? |
39092 | Are not all things ruled according to the will of God? 39092 But are leaves and our bodies so bound up and united with the whole, and are not our souls much more? |
39092 | But whence am I to get a fine cloak? 39092 But you do not believe,"he said,"that souls are allotted to one body after another, and that what we call death is transmigration? |
39092 | But,asks Tatian( c. 16),"why should they get_ drastikôteras dynameôs_ after death?" |
39092 | Could he have done anything else? |
39092 | Did you see Socrates and Plato? |
39092 | Do n''t you see, my dear sir? |
39092 | Do you think,said Epictetus,"that all things are a unity?" |
39092 | GODS OR ATOMS? |
39092 | How did Christianity rise and spread among men? |
39092 | How_ can_ you escape from the judgment of hell? |
39092 | If the dead have consciousness, would she wish you to be so overcome of sorrow? |
39092 | To whom then shall I recite prayers? 39092 Well then, do you not think that things earthly are in sympathy(_ sympathein_) with things heavenly?" |
39092 | What are we to do? |
39092 | What says Zeus? 39092 What sea- captain is there that does not carry his mirth even to the point of shame? |
39092 | When the day was over and Sextius had gone to his night''s rest, he used to ask his mind(_ animum_):''what bad habit of yours have you cured to- day? 39092 Where is the wonder?" |
39092 | Which is ampler? |
39092 | Who among men had any knowledge of what God was, before he came? 39092 Who shall change one of their dogmata[ the regular word of Epictetus]? |
39092 | Why am I wasted for desire of him, who is either happy or non- existent? 39092 Why should it be lawful( for a Christian),"he asked,"to see what it is sin to do? |
39092 | Why was he not sent to the sinless as well as to sinners? 39092 With what right(_ iure_) Marcion, do you cut down my wood? |
39092 | [ 108] This isa peace not of Cæsar''s proclamation( for whence could he proclaim it?) |
39092 | [ 126]What do you want with prayers?" |
39092 | [ 136] Does Homer''s poetry do honour to the gods( c. 14)--do the actors on the stage( c. 15)? 39092 [ 147] Marcion, for instance, is"sick( like so many nowadays and, most of all, the heretics) with the question of evil, whence is evil? |
39092 | [ 151]Why do you,"he asks,"act the part of a Jew, when you are a Greek? |
39092 | [ 153] But have the churches been faithful in the transmission of this body of doctrine? 39092 [ 157] And then he rejoins, Do you think nativity impossible-- or unsuitable-- for God? |
39092 | [ 32] Besides would God need to descend in order to{ 248} learn what was going on among men? 39092 [ 34] Then why not long before? |
39092 | [ 36]Ye see what is the pattern that has been given us; what should we do who by him have come under the yoke of his grace? |
39092 | [ 40]If he had wished to send down a spirit from himself, why did he need to breathe it into the womb of a woman? |
39092 | [ 66] When a man boasts of moral progress, of his freedom from avarice, what, asks Horace, of other like matters? 39092 [ 72] And again:"Why debate? |
39092 | [ 76] When they all say''Believe, if you wish to be saved, or else depart''; what are those to do who really wish to be saved? |
39092 | [ 80] Again, the body is the prison of the soul; should there not then be warders of it-- dæmons in fact? 39092 [ 84]"Where then are we to track out God, Plato? |
39092 | [ 90] How are we to meet at all, asks the anxious Christian, unless we buy off the soldiers? 39092 [ 90] Is it not likely that these"satraps and ministers of air and earth"could do you harm, if you did them despite? |
39092 | [ 96]Must my leg then be lamed? |
39092 | how many of those who crowd around and gape for Christian blood? |
39092 | ... What else can I do, a lame old man, but hymn God? |
39092 | .... What thinkest thou? |
39092 | After all nearly every religion has, somewhere or other, what are called"good ethics,"but the vital question is,"What else?" |
39092 | Again do not our resolves also find their way to God, uttering a voice of their own? |
39092 | Again, when Sodom is destroyed why does the holy text say"The Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha sulphur and fire from the Lord from heaven"? |
39092 | And are not some things also wafted heavenward by the conscience? |
39092 | And how could all this be, if his body were not true? |
39092 | And is there none to teach them stealth and sin? |
39092 | And meanwhile, what was the audience doing, while he stood there tied,{ 326} waiting interminably for the lion? |
39092 | And the gladiatorial shows? |
39092 | And then the dog- faced Egyptian in linen-- who is he to bark at the gods? |
39092 | And then who are those who practise abortion? |
39092 | And where are truth and experience? |
39092 | And who among{ 223} men could set this forth in words? |
39092 | And who is he? |
39092 | And who told thee that the gods do not help us even to what is in our own power? |
39092 | And without a change of dogmata, what is there but the slavery of men groaning and pretending to obey? |
39092 | Animæ_, 2,_ unde igitur naturalis timor animæ in deum, si deus nan novit irasci? |
39092 | Are not the pagans guilty of Atheism, at once in not worshipping the true God and in persecuting those who do? |
39092 | Are we not content with the unanimous authority of mankind? |
39092 | Are we to bid a man to lend a hand to the shipwrecked, point the way to the wanderer, share bread with the hungry? |
39092 | Are words and acts holy as religious symbols which in a society are obviously vicious? |
39092 | Are you surprised a man should go to the gods? |
39092 | As to the Christian story, what could have attracted the attention of God to her? |
39092 | As to the idea that Christians eat children to gain eternal life-- who would think it worth the price? |
39092 | At what cost were they written? |
39092 | Below, is it not the same for them as for you? |
39092 | Both handle the same questions:"Whence is evil, and why? |
39092 | But does not this vapour theory do away with the other theory that divination is mediated to us by the gods through the dæmons? |
39092 | But if a disembodied soul can foresee the future, why should not a soul in a body also be able? |
39092 | But might not one study pagan literature? |
39092 | But what of the man of genius who wrote them? |
39092 | But whither? |
39092 | By what licence, Valentinus, do you divert my springs? |
39092 | Can I have done anything like a free man, or a noble- minded? |
39092 | Children ask father and mother for bread-- will they receive a stone? |
39092 | Could anything be more beautiful than this habit of examining the whole day? |
39092 | Could the church do with them? |
39092 | Did Abraham keep the Sabbath, or any of the patriarchs down to Moses? |
39092 | Did Jove forget Crete for Rome''s sake-- Crete, where he was born, where he lies buried? |
39092 | Do you recognize them, Trypho? |
39092 | Do you see, then, the abyss of atheism that lies at our feet, if we resolve each of the gods into a passion or a force or a virtue? |
39092 | Does Superstition ne''er your heart assail Nor bid your soul with fancied horrors quail? |
39092 | Does a varied diet or a single dish help the digestion more? |
39092 | Elsewhere he gives us a parody of self- examination-- the reflections of one who would prosper in the world--"Where have I failed in flattery? |
39092 | Fool, have you not hands, did not God make them for you? |
39092 | For to what better and more careful watch(_ phylaki_) could He have entrusted each of us? |
39092 | For what soul of a man would any longer wish for a body that{ 253} had rotted? |
39092 | For who is not stirred up by the contemplation of it to find out what there is in the thing within? |
39092 | Good-- but prithee say, Is every vice with avarice flown away? |
39092 | Had the Christian any law? |
39092 | Has some comparative fallen out, or does_ his_ conceal another name? |
39092 | He can not bear a dirty man,--"who does not get out of his way?" |
39092 | He who fears"the gods of his fathers and his race, saviours, friends and givers of good"--whom will he not fear? |
39092 | Hermogenes denies God''s title in this case; which then of the other means does he prefer? |
39092 | His admirers to- day speak of him as one whose question was always"Is it true?" |
39092 | How can I blaspheme my King who saved me? |
39092 | How could men have spat in a face radiant with"celestial grandeur"? |
39092 | How could the Telearch of Chæronea under the Roman Empire understand Pericles? |
39092 | How did God come to use matter? |
39092 | How long would it seem? |
39092 | How long would it take to bring and to let loose the lion? |
39092 | I do not deny it; who is not? |
39092 | If Typhons and Giants were to drive out the gods and become our rulers, what worse could they ask? |
39092 | If one looked from heaven, would there be any marked difference between the procedures of men and of ants? |
39092 | If the one, why not hunt them down? |
39092 | If the other, why punish? |
39092 | If they have not, why pray? |
39092 | In his name why? |
39092 | In the last resort is ecstasy, independently of morality, the main thing? |
39092 | Is it a little thing with you to strive with men? |
39092 | Is it unworthy of God? |
39092 | Is it_ ihs_, in fact,--a reference to Jesus analogous to the suggestion of Celsus that he too was a magician? |
39092 | Is not all the philosophers''talk about God? |
39092 | Is there not a hint of the school about this? |
39092 | Is there not for them the same descent, wherever it lead? |
39092 | It is the setting in which God has placed"the shadow of his own soul, the breath of his own spirit"--can it really be so vile? |
39092 | It was believed by Christians that in baptism the sins of the earlier life were washed away; but what of sins after baptism? |
39092 | Larentina? |
39092 | Let us assume for purposes of discussion that there could be a"descent of God"--would it be what the Christians say it was? |
39092 | Man, what then? |
39092 | Mankind are apt to look twice at the piety of a ruler, and the old question of Satan comes easily,"Doth Job serve God for naught?" |
39092 | Nero should ask himself"Am I the elected of the gods to be their vice- gerent on earth? |
39092 | No,"where is the likeness between the philosopher and the Christian? |
39092 | None the less the centre of interest was the same for them as for us-- what_ is_ the significance of Jesus of Nazareth? |
39092 | Now whom do you mean by the sinner but the wicked, thief, house- breaker, poisoner, temple- robber, grave- robber? |
39092 | Ought we not, in digging or ploughing or eating, to sing this hymn to God? |
39092 | Plants and trees and grass and thorns-- do they grow for man a whit more than for the wildest animals? |
39092 | Quis enim bib contemplatione eius concutitur ad requirendum quid intus in re sit? |
39092 | Quorsum ista retulimus? |
39092 | Shall I swear''by Jove the stone''(_ per Iovem lapidem_) after the most ancient manner of Rome? |
39092 | Should they throw the dice to find out to whom to turn? |
39092 | Silk and purple and pearls are next dealt with-- and earrings,"an outrage on nature"--if you pierce the ear, why not the nose too? |
39092 | Sterculus? |
39092 | Tertullian had to face a similar criticism of Christian life-- was Abraham_ baptized_? |
39092 | That curious story, too, of the boy falling down in his presence? |
39092 | The Christian must not philosophize, they said-- Tertullian said it too; but how could they know they must not philosophize unless they philosophized? |
39092 | The Jew is referred back to the righteous men of early days-- Was Adam circumcised, or did he keep the Sabbath? |
39092 | The arbiter of life and death to the nations?" |
39092 | The gods were part of the past of the ancient world, and if Reason took them away, what was left? |
39092 | The other sort perplexed him--"Why can you not judge for yourselves?" |
39092 | The worn- out frame dragged the spirit with it, and he died with the cry--"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
39092 | Then is it not better to use what is in thine own power and be free, than to be set on what is not in thy power-- a slave and contemptible? |
39092 | Then shall I no longer be? |
39092 | Then those mysterious"somethings"which Apuleius keeps{ 230} wrapped up in a napkin? |
39092 | They demanded to know how they stood with the gods-- were the gods many or one? |
39092 | This is what men were doing and saying around him-- but why? |
39092 | This work has many names; it is called gift[ or grace,_ chárisma_], enlightenment, perfection, baptism.... What is wanting for him who knows God? |
39092 | To lie against God as if He forbade us to do good on the Sabbath day, is not that impiety? |
39092 | Was it by accident that Joseph the carpenter gave all his five sons names that stood for something in Hebrew history? |
39092 | Was it not in my power to lie? |
39092 | Was it true-- this story of the ass? |
39092 | Was she pretty? |
39092 | Was the hen or the egg first? |
39092 | What cause is there that the gods should do good? |
39092 | What done or left undone? |
39092 | What father was ever so unnatural(_ anósios_)? |
39092 | What gods? |
39092 | What harm is there in not having sinned? |
39092 | What have I to do with circumcision, who have the testimony of God? |
39092 | What if laws do forbid Christians to be? |
39092 | What in all this could tempt a man to face the lions? |
39092 | What is its destiny? |
39092 | What need of that baptism to me, baptized with the holy spirit? |
39092 | What of sky, earth and sea? |
39092 | What propellent power lies behind the morals? |
39092 | What then does Lucian make of human life? |
39092 | What then indeed is Being? |
39092 | What then is to be said of Plutarch''s religion? |
39092 | What then was the knowledge given unto him? |
39092 | What then? |

39092 | What was the origin of evil? |
39092 | What was the real disease? |
39092 | What was the ultimate difference between the old Roman and the Roman of the days of Antony and Octavian? |
39092 | What would Socrates do? |
39092 | What, asks the prosecution, is the meaning of this curious interest Apuleius has in fish? |
39092 | Where are those laws now? |
39092 | Which gods? |
39092 | Which is more perfect, to forbid adultery or to bid refrain from a single lustful look? |
39092 | Which of Aphrodite''s hands did Diomed wound? |
39092 | Who saw the dove, or heard the voice from heaven, at the baptism? |

39092 | Who would choose such a change? |
39092 | Whole burnt offerings and your sacrifices and the fat of goats and the blood of bulls I will not... Who has sought these from your hands? |
39092 | Whom else would a brigand invite to join him? |
39092 | Why could they not philosophize and say nothing? |
39092 | Why did I say that? |
39092 | Why does an Emperor wish to be called"the eldest son of the church?" |
39092 | Why he rather than any of the"ten thousand others"who might much more plausibly be called the Messiah? |
39092 | Why is fresh water better than salt for{ 85} washing clothes? |
39092 | Why should not we too live after the model of Socrates, studying philosophy and obeying our dæmon? |
39092 | Why should the innocent age hasten to the remission of sins? |
39092 | Why should the things, which''coming out of the mouth defile a man,''seem not to defile a man when he takes them in through eyes and ears? |
39092 | Why should there be? |
39092 | Why, but from vanity and folly? |
39092 | Why? |
39092 | Why? |
39092 | Will you not willingly surrender it for the whole? |
39092 | With ribbons is it adorned-- or with graves? |
39092 | Would not the play have been better named_ Brutus_? |
39092 | Would not the son of Moses have been strangled, had not his mother circumcised him? |

39092 | Would you call him Universe? |
39092 | Would you call him fate? |
39092 | Would you propitiate the gods? |
39092 | You do n''t believe that in beasts and fishes dwells the mind(_ animum_) that was once a man''s? |

39092 | asks Carlyle,"was it by institutions, and establishments, and well arranged systems of mechanism? |
39092 | asks Epictetus, arguing against the Academics, who"opposed evident truths"--what are we to do with necrosis of the soul? |
39092 | asks Tertullian,"to say, Thou shalt not kill; or to teach, Be not even angry? |
39092 | could they be restored? |
39092 | cur Saturno alieni liberi immolantur... cur Idæae masculus amputatur_? |

39092 | is it the Christians who frequent them? |
39092 | is not all Providence from him? |

39092 | revelations from sacrifices and victims, and other miraculous tokens? |

39092 | was the question that men asked; where was the root of all the evil? |
39092 | were they persons or natural laws[165] or even natural objects? |
39092 | what vice have you resisted? |
39092 | who was he? |
39092 | who, when he has found out, does not draw near? |
39092 | why was it that in old days men were honest, governed themselves firmly, knew how to obey, and served the State? |

39092 | { 88}"Then Plutarch, slowly and gently"asked what signs of anger he showed in voice or colour or word? |
12605 | And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? 12605 Comfort? |

12605 | The Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? |
12605 | Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 12605 What will a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
12605 | Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? 12605 Who can limit"( in some such form might those questionings be put)"the resources of God''s infinite love and wisdom? |
12605 | Who hath known the mind of the Lord, and who hath been his counsellor, that he should instruct_ him_? |
12605 | Who will shew us any good? |
12605 | Who will shew us any good? |
12605 | *****"So runs my dream: but what am I? |
12605 | 2. Who was Jesus Christ? |
12605 | AND WHAT OF SIN? |
12605 | Again, Do you fear because of coming duties or trials which you can not but anticipate? |
12605 | Again, What_ parish_ does not stand in need of such a quickening? |
12605 | And did_ they_ deny the divine origin of the Jewish religion? |
12605 | And how was that missionary sermon received? |
12605 | And if all this holds true of man now, what reason have we for doubting that it shall hold true of man for ever? |
12605 | And if so, when shall we reach the end of that awful chain which is in the hand of God? |
12605 | And if so, why do we think it strange that an individual should have his times of comparative spiritual darkness and light, strength and weakness? |
12605 | And if so, why should the possession of_ immediate_ peace, in a degree corresponding to faith in God, seem to be so wonderful? |
12605 | And in what, moreover, does the happiness of the angels consist, but in sharing this life of God? |
12605 | And is there not another book, even"_ the_ Book,"which may also be opened at judgment as a witness for the Triune God in His dealings with mankind? |
12605 | And now let us ask, What shall be the history of the Church during the rest of this century? |
12605 | And shall we think it strange to believe God''s Word the moment we hear it? |
12605 | And tell me, is there not inexpressible comfort in this love which mourns over sin as the greatest loss and the greatest sorrow? |
12605 | And what is their punishment? |
12605 | And what was her salutation? |
12605 | And what would the bravest soldiers accomplish in the day of battle, if they asked the same question in vain? |
12605 | And whence is their excitement derived? |
12605 | And where then will that other world be which to many is now so dim and unreal as not to be worth thinking about? |
12605 | And who are these? |
12605 | And why should not this feeling be suddenly kindled? |
12605 | And why should we not_ at once_ believe God? |
12605 | And will Jesus ever answer those accusations? |
12605 | Any firm practical conviction in the fact of future punishment? |
12605 | Are the apostles now ignorant of each other? |
12605 | Are we to examine the opinions of all the various"churches,""sects,"or"bodies,"professing Christianity, in order to determine what it is they profess? |
12605 | Ask them, then, and what will be their reply? |
12605 | Be it so; but surely the_ kind of_ truth which must be spoken must ever regulate the manner in which it is spoken? |
12605 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
12605 | Besides, however real Christ''s sympathy was with sorrow of every kind, why did He express it on this occasion more than on any other? |
12605 | But apart from this evidence, what, we would ask, is there in the nature of conversion inconsistent with its alleged suddenness? |
12605 | But are there any willing to labour? |
12605 | But could such a one have been a blasphemer? |
12605 | But did He wish to give the impression that He was nothing more? |
12605 | But did he add,"Make me a hired servant?" |
12605 | But has God any work to do in our souls? |
12605 | But how are we to obtain a satisfactory reply to this question? |
12605 | But how is this to be accounted for if they believe a lie? |
12605 | But if He was not this, how can the character of those teachers be defended? |
12605 | But if so, we ask you, reader, what evidence of Christian life can you adduce better or more satisfactory than all this? |
12605 | But in what spirit does he plead with them? |
12605 | But is not the primitive Church system of union and mutual co- operation essential to the very idea of a Christian_ society_? |
12605 | But let us further inquire, What shall be its results with reference to the righteous? |
12605 | But perhaps you fear the future lest you should not"redeem the time"as you ought to do to the glory of God? |
12605 | But was not"the view"of Jesus himself and His apostles the"orthodox"one? |
12605 | But were not these things all the while in our memory, although unnoticed by us until called forth by fitting circumstances? |
12605 | But what can the unbeliever himself expect to gain by its destruction? |
12605 | But what if there is to be no such bodily pain? |
12605 | But what mean these tears? |
12605 | But what means this? |
12605 | But what power will develop this force? |
12605 | But what says the apostle himself? |
12605 | But what was the substance of their teaching, and the one grand object of their existence? |
12605 | But what, let me ask, separates us from that world which we think to be so very far off-- so very unreal? |
12605 | But whatever you have been or done in time past, what do you intend to be and to do_ now_? |
12605 | But when? |
12605 | But who will so love me as to carry my crushing burden of sin? |
12605 | But would he have dared to record such a vision, unless he believed Jesus to have been Divine? |
12605 | But, my brother, why should you thus think of God, and so fear to think of the future? |
12605 | Can Christ be appealed to either as to their falsehood, or for exculpatory evidences of genuine repentance or new life? |
12605 | Can Moses, for instance, yet fully comprehend his own life in its relation to the Jewish nation, whose fate is still involved in darkness? |
12605 | Can any man be satisfied with such a basis of religion as this? |
12605 | Can not that love be seen in its own light when revealed? |
12605 | Can retreats be secured where God''s Word may be read and prayer enjoyed with more undisturbed repose? |
12605 | Can the synagogue sing David''s psalms with more truth than the church? |
12605 | Can these accusations, if false, be disproved? |
12605 | Can we even retain_ the character of Jesus?_ The atheist admits that Jesus was the greatest man who ever lived on earth. |
12605 | Can we preserve_ the character of the apostles?_ That, too, has hitherto been considered worthy of our respect and regard. |
12605 | Can we, then, accept of Christ as a perfect example? |
12605 | Could John have written such things of a mere man? |
12605 | Could a pious Jew have done so without conscious blasphemy? |
12605 | Dare_ we closely follow a life like this, and then end it by voluntarily giving ourselves up as a ransom"for the remission of the sins of many?" |
12605 | Did Jesus now weep from mere human sympathy with sisters mourning for a dead brother? |
12605 | Did he lead to hell or heaven? |
12605 | Do any remain whom death threatened to remove during the past year? |
12605 | Do we address one who is a professed unbeliever in the truth, or rather, who"believes a lie,"--that there_ is_ no Saviour? |
12605 | Do you wonder that they called Him a blasphemer? |
12605 | Do you, for example, fear the future because it is unknown? |
12605 | Does he anticipate daily returning mercies and sources of enjoyment more rich and varied than those possessed here, in order to bring him back to God? |
12605 | Does he wish, for example, to relieve oppressed souls of some great burden which crushes them? |
12605 | Does it mean that Lazarus was to die? |
12605 | Does it seem strange that men should have at once believed Christ, or any of His apostles, when_ they_ preached? |
12605 | Does not history turn on the influence exercised by the first and second Adam? |
12605 | Does this not look like a coming struggle? |
12605 | Doth not that omnipotent Spirit of light and love, who uniteth all in one, and who hath led the Church of Christ from grace to glory, dwell in thee? |
12605 | Enter upon the labours and duties of the year with joy I Art thou not a fellow labourer with thy brother saints and angels, yea, even with thy God? |
12605 | For how did you depart from God before? |
12605 | For once we have lost Jesus Christ as our ever- living, ever- present, all- sufficient Friend and Saviour, what are we to do? |
12605 | For what is death to sin? |
12605 | For what was the source and strength of his life? |
12605 | For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I of Apollos; are ye not carnal?" |
12605 | Friends, neighbours, look along the road, watch the brow of that distant hill, look along that valley, and see if there are any signs of His coming?" |
12605 | Had he been a Papist, he might have said--"Why thus divided? |
12605 | Had not their whole history been determined by their adherence to God, or their falling away to idolatry? |
12605 | Has He ever expressed any wish as to what He would have us believe, become, or enjoy, or revealed for what end or purpose He made our spirits? |
12605 | Has He laid no command upon us to"work out our own salvation with fear and trembling?" |
12605 | Has Jesus, then, actually refused to aid them? |
12605 | Has all been fruitless and dead? |
12605 | Has prayer neither been offered in truth, nor answered in love? |
12605 | Have all Christians been deceived? |
12605 | Have any, have many, been a comfort to you? |
12605 | Have beloved ones been given to you during the year-- such as a wife, a husband, or a child? |
12605 | Have they been believing a lie, and has this great life of life in them been sustained by a delusion? |
12605 | Have you any faith in our Lord''s teaching? |
12605 | Have you been blessed with_ bodily_ health? |
12605 | Have you been blessed with_ mental_ health? |
12605 | Have you done no good? |
12605 | Have you enjoyed no peace in believing, nor gained any victories over self and sin? |
12605 | Have you possessed no more calm and habitual fellowship with God? |
12605 | Have you received other mercies connected with your_ temporal_ well- being? |
12605 | Have your anxieties regarding the temporal or spiritual well- being of others been lessened? |
12605 | Having fled from Christianity as a religion whose foundations are insecure, can he repose with confidence in the building which he himself has reared? |
12605 | Having rejected God as revealed in Jesus,_ can_ he peril his soul in peace on the God discovered by himself? |
12605 | How did he endeavour to effect this? |
12605 | How do we deal there with what claims to be truth? |
12605 | How is this possible? |
12605 | How is this product of character, which is affecting the world''s history, and gradually leavening the whole lump of humanity, to be accounted for? |
12605 | How it is that we pretend to be one when attacking Papists, and then turn our backs on each other when left alone? |
12605 | How shall we fulfil the end of our being? |
12605 | How shall we obtain life eternal? |
12605 | How should_ He_ be thought of at all amidst the awful solemnities of that day, and be singled out and appealed to as one of such authority and power? |
12605 | How stands the case now? |
12605 | How will you then stand the reading of your autobiography? |
12605 | I do not ask whether the Christian religion is true, but only, What is the Christian religion? |
12605 | If He was a mere creature, how could He have used language to which it was_ possible_ to give such an interpretation as would imply Divinity? |
12605 | If I give up faith in Christ, what wouldest thou have me be and do, and how live and rejoice as an immortal being? |
12605 | If Jesus neither knew Him truly, nor truly revealed Him, who can do either? |
12605 | If any man replies that those sayings of Christ_ may_ be interpreted differently, then I ask, What impression did Christ_ intend_ to give? |
12605 | If it is_ possible_, must it not be so? |
12605 | If sin is thus possible, then why may not the sinner indulge there in the same selfishness, disobedience, and rebellion which characterised him here? |
12605 | If the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is not the only living and true God, where is the true God to be found? |
12605 | In our conduct to our brother, let us ask ourselves, Is this how Christ would have acted to any one with whom He came in contact when on earth? |
12605 | In what position do we thus find ourselves? |
12605 | Is it a confession of faith? |
12605 | Is it an expression of confidence only in His power? |
12605 | Is it possible that the true God can be thus apprehended and loved through a medium so false as idolatry? |
12605 | Is it your intention to continue in sin? |
12605 | Is not every truth, too, with which we are already acquainted linked to another and a higher truth? |
12605 | Is not our hope well- nigh lost regarding many a parish; and what but the quickening and reviving power of God''s Spirit can restore it? |
12605 | Is there any other conceivable gain, then, which would accrue to the unbeliever by his supposed success? |
12605 | Is there any secret of strength and comfort by which we can with courage and hope encounter all the possibilities of the future? |
12605 | Is there no such person as Jesus Christ, the Lord of life, the living Saviour of sinners? |
12605 | Is this all? |
12605 | Is this helping on His work now? |
12605 | Is this how men picture to themselves the place in which they expect to atone for past sins by limited suffering? |
12605 | Is this not a fact but a fiction? |
12605 | It is asked, indeed, in triumph, What employments can there be in heaven for saints? |
12605 | It pains them-- it agonises them-- to put the question,"What is to become of me when I die?" |
12605 | It would be very difficult, I think, to put a more serious question to ourselves than this,_ What is to become of its after death_? |
12605 | Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? |
12605 | Judas leaves that company; and what was there in things visible to make him suspect even that an awful moment of life-- his last-- had come? |
12605 | Life or death-- health or sickness-- joy or sorrow-- good or evil? |
12605 | Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? |
12605 | Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? |
12605 | Men can be easily roused to_ sudden_ earnestness, in order to save their bodies, when they realise present danger; and why not to save their souls? |
12605 | Men would still ask, What if we are responsible to God for this whole inner and outer life of ours, with its beliefs, purposes, and actions? |
12605 | Must not the end of all things come before they understand the place and the work their Lord assigned to them? |
12605 | Need I add, as the last grand result of judgment, that the Triune God will be glorified? |
12605 | Neither presbyter nor bishop, neither Paul nor Apollos,_ anything_? |
12605 | Nevertheless, why should not conversion itself, apart from its antecedents or consequents, be sudden? |
12605 | Not willing even to be on kind, or perhaps on speaking terms with a brother minister? |
12605 | Now, to what is this great result owing? |
12605 | Now, what did Paul say of the dignity of this Person? |
12605 | Of what avail is His coming now? |
12605 | On what part of Christ''s"work"on earth can we fall back? |
12605 | Once more, Do you fear the future, lest you should sin and depart from God as you have done in the past? |
12605 | Or does it not rather evidence unbelief? |
12605 | Or is her heart so torn by distracting thoughts, that for a moment she knows not what to do? |
12605 | Or is it to Him the same whether we are wrong or right? |
12605 | Or, does it not seem more strange that some were"fools, and slow of heart to believe?" |
12605 | Or, though he may in mercy return again and again, what if the eye gets blinded by the very light which it rejects? |
12605 | Our Active Life FUTURE PUNISHMENT WHAT AFTER DEATH? |
12605 | Read over any page now, peruse the life of any day, and ask, Has this been the life of one who believes there is a God to whom he is responsible? |
12605 | Reflect on what He_ could_ have done and could do, if He disliked you as you dislike Him, and say, How can you continue in your enmity? |
12605 | Shall Sabbaths of more peaceful rest dawn upon the troubled heart, or sacraments of more healing virtue be administered? |
12605 | Shall strangers, heathen, publicans and sinners, be promptly heard and answered, and Lazarus whom He loved forgotten? |
12605 | Shall the future be a similar record to the past? |
12605 | The Judge 2. Who are to be Judged? |
12605 | The cup of the"Man of sorrows"was always full; what caused it thus to run over? |
12605 | The most willing church- member gazes over a great city, and asks in despair,"What am I to do here?" |
12605 | The other question which I would humbly suggest for consideration is this:--What is your real belief in reference to man''s future state? |
12605 | The_ morality of the New Testament?_ No! |
12605 | Time passes: has the Saviour yet received the tidings of their grief? |
12605 | To restore Lazarus to life-- to a world of sin and temptation, again to die-- was this the best for_ him_? |
12605 | To restore the brother to his sisters-- was this best for_ them_, taking into account every circumstance of their history within and without? |
12605 | To the question,"What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?" |
12605 | True, Satan is a liar; but is_ this_ testimony a lie? |
12605 | WHAT AFTER DEATH? |
12605 | WHAT CAN WE BELIEVE IF WE DO NOT THUS BELIEVE IN JESUS? |
12605 | WHAT IF CHRISTIANITY IS NOT TRUE? |
12605 | WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY? |
12605 | WHO ARE TO BE JUDGED? |
12605 | WHO WAS JESUS CHRIST? |
12605 | Was it morally possible that He could have uttered what He did about Himself, unless it was true? |
12605 | Was it possible for Job''s friends to interpret,_ at the time_, Job''s sufferings? |
12605 | Was it that she had not heard of the arrival of Jesus, or of Martha having gone to meet Him? |
12605 | Was that man an idolater and blasphemer,--the dupe of his own fancy,--deceived in his faith and hopes,--or was he the ignorant deceiver of others? |
12605 | Was there no excitement on the day of Pentecost when thousands were crying out,"What shall we do to be saved?" |
12605 | We ask such a one to consider what the certain, or even_ probable_ consequences will be to him, if all we have said is nevertheless true? |
12605 | Well, then, what are you to do? |
12605 | What are we to conclude from these unparalleled facts, which can no more be denied than the realities of human history or of human experience? |
12605 | What can we Believe if we do not thus Believe in Jesus? |
12605 | What did Christians find him to be as a fellow- Christian? |
12605 | What did_ they_ believe regarding Him? |
12605 | What does_ he_ say of the exalted privilege of being able to baptize? |
12605 | What example did he set? |
12605 | What has this man as a father, husband, or child, done? |
12605 | What if Christianity is not True? |
12605 | What if sin and its consequences continue beyond the grave, with no remedy there unless found here? |
12605 | What if the sin which makes the hell hereafter, is, in spite of all its suffering, loved, clung to, even as the sin is which makes the hell now? |
12605 | What if the wicked shall be punished only by permitting them to"eat the fruit of their own way, and to be filled with their own devices?" |
12605 | What is Christianity? |
12605 | What is it which we have most to complain of as an obstacle to the gospel? |
12605 | What is its present working power? |
12605 | What is needed more than a revival among our_ preachers_, before we can look with hope for a revival in our missions? |
12605 | What means this deep calm and quiet at such a time beside the troubled waters of the Jordan? |
12605 | What means this? |
12605 | What of such questions as,--What shall become of us in eternity? |
12605 | What power has originated it, or by what has it been sustained? |
12605 | What shall the results be of such a searching, impartial, and conclusive investigation into the history of mankind? |
12605 | What shall we do to be saved? |
12605 | What temper and conduct did he manifest at home? |
12605 | What things? |
12605 | What think ye? |
12605 | What was his heaven? |
12605 | What was his influence as a companion? |
12605 | What was the one object of his holy ambition? |
12605 | What will happen during this year to ourselves and to those whom we love? |
12605 | What will put an end to the proud antagonism, the Popery, the Church idolatry of Protestantism? |
12605 | What will the coming twelve months bring to me and mine? |
12605 | What would a thousand of our best workmen do in a large factory, if they entered it with willing hands, yet having no place or work assigned to them? |
12605 | What"name"is this in which many prophesied, and by which many were able to cast out devils, and to do marvellous works? |
12605 | What, then, I again ask, would be lost and gained on both sides after the war, in the event of Christianity being destroyed? |
12605 | What, then, have we left us? |
12605 | What, then, was the apostle''s method of curing schism, and of making men truly one who had been"divided?" |
12605 | What? |
12605 | What_ may_ be-- what_ must_ be-- what_ ought_ to be? |
12605 | When it dies and is buried, who will wear mourning at its funeral? |
12605 | Wherefore, then, dost thou dishonour God and His word by unbelieving fear? |
12605 | Who are more entitled to give a reply to such questions than Christians themselves? |
12605 | Who is right-- Mr Greg or----?] |
12605 | Who is this that is addressed as"Lord, Lord?" |
12605 | Who is this that utters the sentence,"Depart from_ me_?" |
12605 | Who is this who claims my unreserved faith, my unlimited obedience, my devoted love? |
12605 | Who is this who promises to pardon my sins through faith in His blood; to purify and perfect my nature through faith in His power? |
12605 | Who is this, I ask with absorbing interest, whom I am commanded to honour as I honour the living God? |
12605 | Who is this, we naturally ask after hearing them, who at the general judgment is to be addressed by"many?" |
12605 | Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? |
12605 | Why do they think so? |
12605 | Why should He? |
12605 | Why should he be disposed to fight against them instead of against the common enemy? |
12605 | Why should he be jealous of their achievements? |
12605 | Why should this inherent love of action, and delightful source of enjoyment, so refined and elevated, be annihilated? |
12605 | Why weep with those whose tears were shed in ignorance only of the coming event which was so soon to dry them? |
12605 | Why, then, with so much to do through a living agency, and with a great army of living agents yet unemployed, is there so little done? |
12605 | Why? |
12605 | Will the gospel be preached more faithfully, and a people be found more loving and pious to assemble for public or private worship? |
12605 | Will we assist him in tempting others to evil,--in entangling souls more and more in the meshes of sin,--in propagating error and opposing truth? |
12605 | Will we, then, work with him in his desire to destroy our own souls? |
12605 | Will your scoff at God''s revelation of the future prevent the dead from rising, or the Judge from appearing? |
12605 | Will your thinking, or saying, that the whole is a fiction, make it so? |
12605 | With what care do we examine her credentials? |
12605 | With what spirit do we listen to her voice? |
12605 | Would a God be more acceptable, and appear with greater moral beauty, who was different from the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ? |
12605 | Would it be a relief to our moral being to be freed from the privilege or duty of supremely loving Jesus Christ? |
12605 | Would it be glad tidings to hear that men were not to be born again, nor to repent, nor to deny themselves, nor to do God''s will, but their own? |
12605 | Would it lighten our hearts to be freed from the burden of having communion with Him in prayer? |
12605 | Would not its absence be more so? |
12605 | Would you have_ dared_ to speak in anything like this strain of blasphemy to the holy Saviour had you met Him? |
12605 | Yea or nay, did they recognise Him as Divine? |
12605 | Yet how can any statistics carry to our hearts a sense of what has been done for immortal souls by the gospel during this eventful period? |
12605 | Yet surely not without some message of consolation? |
12605 | Yet what has such a tendency to do all this as sorrow, and the very trials which we so much deplore? |
12605 | Yet, what if all the good is lost through our blindness, ignorance, hardness of heart, pride, self- will, and unbelief? |
12605 | _ He hath spoken blasphemy_; what further need have we of witnesses? |
12605 | _ Why should ye be stricken any more?_ Ye will revolt more and more!" |
12605 | _ Why_, for example, has this or that happened? |
12605 | and has He given no intimation of His"working in us to will and do?" |
12605 | and in thy name done many wonderful works? |
12605 | and in thy name have cast out devils? |
12605 | and is there knowledge with the Most High?" |
12605 | and producing, too, we dare to add, such strong faith and affectionate reverence towards this God, as exist in no other human bosoms? |
12605 | and who is He that such a sentence should be an object of dread, yea, the very climax of human woe? |
12605 | and your labour for that which satisfieth not? |
12605 | does he exclaim? |
12605 | for with whom does the man work when he works in opposition to the will of God? |
12605 | hast thou not taught in our streets? |
12605 | have we not done many wonderful works in thy name? |
12605 | he asked,"could ye not watch with me one hour?" |
12605 | he_ that hath seen me hath seen the Father_; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? |
12605 | not able to hear the gospel preached from the lips of a minister of another church, nor to remember Jesus with him or his people? |
12605 | or did He weep because He mourned their own lost faith in His love to them? |
12605 | or, as a vessel remains a wreck in the midst of the breakers after the life- boat which comes to save the crew is dismissed? |
12605 | or, as the lion remains after the telescope is flung aside which revealed his coming, and revealed also the only place of safety from his attack? |
12605 | or, knowing all this, shall we be prevented from communicating our histories to others? |
12605 | some hope held out of relief? |
12605 | upon One who declared it to be a legitimate source of joy to every mother that a child was born to the world? |
12605 | upon One whose love to all whom He has made is to our love as the light of the mighty sun to a fire- fly''s spark wandering in darkness?" |
12605 | what is it which these witness against thee? |
12605 | who could tell_ that?_--who ever thought of_ that?_ To them it seemed that death ended all that was reality, and began all that was visionary. |
12605 | will He refuse to help His own beloved friend? |
42518 | Do you hear that bell tinkling in the morning? |
42518 | Do you think you will hold on? |
42518 | Doth God take care for oxen? 42518 Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow?" |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | Have I long in sin been sleeping, Long been slighting, grieving thee? 42518 If the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done it?" |
42518 | If thine arm offend thee--hang it in a sling? |
42518 | If thine eye offend thee--wear a shade? |
42518 | Is Christ divided? 42518 Is your father a Christian?" |
42518 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
42518 | No,say you;"how can that be?" |
42518 | Oh,say you,"will it actually come to death?" |
42518 | Shall horses run upon the rock? 42518 Shall horses run upon the rock? |
42518 | Shall horses run upon the rock? 42518 Shall horses run upon the rock? |
42518 | Should it be according to thy mind? |
42518 | Surely you do not object to my having a little more sleep? |
42518 | What is that for? |
42518 | Wherefore do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which satisfieth not? |
42518 | Who can stand before his cold? |
42518 | Who can stand before his cold? |
42518 | Who can stand before his cold? |
42518 | Why do you tell your child a thing twenty times? |
42518 | Why hast thou sent me,says he,"to a people that have ears but hear not? |
42518 | Why,says one,"not our sin?" |
42518 | A Christian man working not at all for his Lord; how shall I speak of him? |
42518 | A father? |
42518 | A master? |
42518 | A minister? |
42518 | A preacher may preach without conversions, and who shall blame him? |
42518 | A servant? |
42518 | A slothful professor''s heart is tinder for the devil''s tinderbox; does your heart thus invite the sparks of temptation? |
42518 | A teacher? |
42518 | A_ Christian_ man on half time? |
42518 | Afraid for the infinite Jehovah that his purposes will fail? |
42518 | After a powerful sermon he has not enjoyed his meals, or been able to sleep, for he has asked himself,"What shall I do in the end thereof?" |
42518 | After the germ has been put forth, can you make it further grow, and develop its life into leaf and stem? |
42518 | Am I told that this was because his death would be the completion of his example, and the seal of his preaching? |
42518 | And is this a little offence, to snatch from his brow the crown, and from his hand the sceptre? |
42518 | And so, when unconscious, and drugged to relieve pain, you will begin to think of your soul? |
42518 | And what is there, brethren, that is so fit for the heart, the mind, the soul of man, as to know God and his Christ? |
42518 | And what next? |
42518 | And what, think you, are the feelings of the minister? |
42518 | And when the frost pinches us so severely, why should it not be continued month after month? |
42518 | And when the green, grassy blade has been succeeded by the ear, can you ripen it? |
42518 | And when you have thus been up and down, what next? |
42518 | And while she was sitting there, what happened? |
42518 | And who would wish that idlers should be happy? |
42518 | And why is it, my friends, why is it that God gives the cattle the grass? |
42518 | And why should grace have visited you or me-- why? |
42518 | And will you make your bed upon them when you come to die? |
42518 | And, oh, what a joy of harvest you will have then? |
42518 | Another soul begins to sing in heaven; why do you weep, O heirs of immortality? |
42518 | Answer each one for himself-- Dost thou believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? |
42518 | Are my fellow- laborers afraid that Jeshurun will wax fat and kick, if he has too much food? |
42518 | Are not all thorns and thistles meant to be teachers to sinful men? |
42518 | Are not these things to be left to a higher wisdom? |
42518 | Are the best of our Christian young men always going to stay at home? |
42518 | Are the missions of the churches of Great Britain always to be such poor, feeble things as they are? |
42518 | Are there fruits? |
42518 | Are they not in thy book?" |
42518 | Are thistles to be your principal crop? |
42518 | Are thy necessities large? |
42518 | Are we bound to persevere till we are worn out by this unsuccessful work? |
42518 | Are we giving our religion the chief place or not? |
42518 | Are we thus shining? |
42518 | Are you going to preach, young man? |
42518 | Are you really saved, and are you negligent in the Lord''s work? |
42518 | Are you so simple as to expect the harvest before you have passed through the springing- time? |
42518 | Are you sown of the Lord? |
42518 | Are you sown of the Lord? |
42518 | Are you to go swaggering down the streets of heaven, letting fall an oath, or singing a loose song? |
42518 | Are you under the Lord''s care? |
42518 | Are you? |
42518 | Art thou still a piece of the bare common or wild heath? |
42518 | As the poet sings:"What more can he say, than to you he hath said,-- You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?" |
42518 | Because there is a pleasure in looking at a Scotch thistle, do you intend to grow acres of pleasurable vice? |
42518 | Beloved, are you producing anything else? |
42518 | Brethren, are we careful enough as to our religious walk? |
42518 | Brother worker, are you getting a little weary? |
42518 | Burn the wheat? |
42518 | But how may a good workman for Christ lawfully go to sleep? |
42518 | But how shall we thank him sufficiently for the thaw of his lovingkindness? |
42518 | But is there not a way of saving men without the grace of God? |
42518 | But what if the ploughing should never lead to sowing; what if you should be disturbed in conscience, and should go on to resist it all? |
42518 | But who is to be the judge of the suitability of your trial? |
42518 | But will you go there at all? |
42518 | Can I lend you a hand? |
42518 | Can I show you how to work better? |
42518 | Can it be possible that the Spirit is entirely absent? |
42518 | Can nothing else be done? |
42518 | Can such an atonement be offered in vain? |
42518 | Can the Most High hear it and not be pressed down beneath its weight? |
42518 | Can you bear to think of being divided from godly friends for ever and ever? |
42518 | Can you expect that God shall pass by wilful and deliberate offences? |
42518 | Can you make a seed germinate? |
42518 | Canst thou trust him, and yet be cast away? |
42518 | Cease ye, cease ye, from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? |
42518 | Come, dear friend, will you be a corn of wheat laid up on the shelf alone? |
42518 | Could you wish your child to descend to earth again from the bliss which now surrounds her? |
42518 | Did I not begin by saying that because we were sheep he deigns to compare himself to a sheep? |
42518 | Did I not hear you sing the other day--"''Tis a point I long to know"? |
42518 | Did I not say just now that the sheep, by struggling, might be cut by the shears? |
42518 | Did he cast doubt upon the unquenchable fire and the undying worm? |
42518 | Did he conceal the sinner''s peril? |
42518 | Did he lull souls into slumber by smooth strains of flattery? |
42518 | Did he not once speak to the rock, and turn the flint into a stream of water? |
42518 | Did it come from that dear hand which was nailed to the cross? |
42518 | Did not our Lord say,"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye can not bear them now"? |
42518 | Did she stretch forth her hand and take the food herself? |
42518 | Did the Spirit of God drop eternal life into your bosom? |
42518 | Did you ever bring a penny into the till by fretting, or put a loaf on the table by complaint? |
42518 | Did you not hear the other day of the alderman who died in his carriage? |
42518 | Didst thou carry home thy sack, filled like those of Joseph''s brothers, when they returned from Egypt? |
42518 | Didst thou have a soul- enriching season among the sheaves the other Sabbath? |
42518 | Didst thou have an abundance? |
42518 | Do I address any aged ones whose lease must soon run out? |
42518 | Do I address the lecherous, or the oppressive, or the profane? |
42518 | Do these people come to our assemblies because it is respectable to attend a place of worship? |
42518 | Do we in the morning sow our seed, and in the evening still stretch out our hand? |
42518 | Do we sow beside all waters? |
42518 | Do you experience such keeping? |
42518 | Do you feel the joy of harvest, the joy that makes you wish that others should share with you? |
42518 | Do you know what_ nature_ is? |
42518 | Do you mean to continue in that state for ever? |
42518 | Do you not remember reading in the Scriptures that, upon one occasion, the disciples could not cast out a devil? |
42518 | Do you not see where you are? |
42518 | Do you not think it is even more necessary to ask a blessing on our troubles before we get into them? |
42518 | Do you recollect that auspicious day when at last you began to have some little hope? |
42518 | Do you recollect those many Sundays when you said to yourself,"Let me go to my chamber and fall on my knees and pray"? |
42518 | Do you say that yonder green stuff is wheat?" |
42518 | Do you see how it is overgrown with thorns and nettles? |
42518 | Do you, brethren, use all your opportunities? |
42518 | Does Jehovah keep his covenant with cattle, and will he not keep his covenant with his own beloved? |
42518 | Does another whisper,"Oh that I might be saved"? |
42518 | Does he keep you? |
42518 | Does it not occur to us at once to give the word to those who will have it, and leave the despisers to perish in their own wilfulness? |
42518 | Does not prudence itself dictate it? |
42518 | Does not reason say,"Let us send this medicine where there are sick people who will value it?" |
42518 | Does the Lord work with us? |
42518 | Does the sharp ploughshare touch thee just now? |
42518 | Does your life begin and end with him? |
42518 | Dost thou do so? |
42518 | Dost thou feel the power of the Word? |
42518 | Dost thou require great mercy? |
42518 | Doth not the wife share with the husband? |
42518 | Earth asks,"Why should I yield at harvest to the sinner''s plough?" |
42518 | Echo answers, Why? |
42518 | Faith cometh by hearing, and how can there be hearing if there is no teaching? |
42518 | For which of all my works dost thou insult me?" |
42518 | Friend, if you have any religion, how did you get it? |
42518 | Go ye to Jerusalem, where of old was the city of his glory and the shrine of his indwelling, and what is left there to- day? |
42518 | Go ye to Rome, where once Paul preached the gospel with power: what is it now but the centre of idolatry? |
42518 | God gives the increase in the barn and the hay- rick; and in the spiritual farm it is even more so, for what can man do in this business? |
42518 | Going to put it off to the last hour or two, are you? |
42518 | Had you not better attend to your fences at once? |
42518 | Has he not said,"I have refined thee, but not with silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction"? |
42518 | Has he not said,"I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me"? |
42518 | Has the seed of the Word never been sown in thee? |
42518 | Has the world my heart been keeping? |
42518 | Hast the ploughshare never broken up the clods of thy soul? |
42518 | Hast thou been the chief of sinners? |
42518 | Hast thou never sought to pull up the weeds of sin that grow in thy heart? |
42518 | Hast thou never watered the young plants of desire? |
42518 | Hath not Jesus bidden the believer to be baptized? |
42518 | Hath not the Lord declared that he hath chosen his vineyard and fenced it? |
42518 | Have we not there tasted the sweetest and most sustaining of all spiritual food? |
42518 | Have we not thousands of hearers who receive the word with joy? |
42518 | Have you a concern about these things? |
42518 | Have you a fine- spun righteousness of your own? |
42518 | Have you any faith in yourself? |
42518 | Have you ever noticed that whenever the Lord afflicts us he selects the best possible time? |
42518 | Have you ever searched to the bottom of your profession? |
42518 | Have you ever seen a patient man insulted? |
42518 | Have you forgotten that you are nothing? |
42518 | Have you never heard of a person walking in the fields into whose bosom a bird has flown because pursued by the hawk? |
42518 | Have you never heard those accents? |
42518 | Have you not heard of persons who fall dead at their work? |
42518 | Have you turned over that question, or have you gone at it hit or miss? |
42518 | He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? |
42518 | He comes with the word of promise and the smile of brotherly love at once, and he says to the new believer,"Have you confessed your faith? |
42518 | He goes to his Master with,"Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" |
42518 | He maketh the grass to grow all alone, and shall he not make you flourish despite your loneliness? |
42518 | Hear again:"Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" |
42518 | Here is your dear child likely to die; will you not, dear parents, meet together and ask God to bless the death of that child, if it is to happen? |
42518 | How can I plant with success if my helper will not water what I have planted; or what is the use of my watering if nothing is planted? |
42518 | How can a man be void of understanding who has a field and a vineyard? |
42518 | How can you love your neighbor as yourself if you do not love his soul? |
42518 | How canst thou judge of what is good for thee? |
42518 | How comes it that there is within the ripe seed the preparations for another sowing and another growth? |
42518 | How could it be? |
42518 | How does he do this? |
42518 | How far is all this to be attributed to a neglectful church? |
42518 | How is it done? |
42518 | How long do you suppose it was before I saw that woman? |
42518 | How many are there of this sort here? |
42518 | How shall men hear without a teacher? |
42518 | How shall we escape from this very knowing and very captious sluggard? |
42518 | How shall we survive the censures of this dogmatic person? |
42518 | How wilt thou escape if thou wilt neglect so great salvation? |
42518 | How would it have fared with you had you also been smitten while riding at your ease? |
42518 | However, instead of asking what the church has been doing for this nineteen hundred years, let us ask ourselves, What are we going to do now? |
42518 | I am about to teach a difficult subject; will it do any good? |
42518 | I delight to think of heaven as_ his_ barn;_ his_ barn, what must that be? |
42518 | I have chosen an abstruse point of theology; will it serve any purpose?" |
42518 | I know we each one have some power to serve God; do we use it? |
42518 | I suggest to you young people especially that, in starting life, you say to yourselves,"What shall we live for? |
42518 | If God blesses"the springing thereof,"dear beginners, what will he not do for you in after days? |
42518 | If a new laborer comes on the farm, and he uses a hoe of a new shape, shall I become his enemy? |
42518 | If he did so what would remain to be believed? |
42518 | If he does his work better than I do mine, shall I be jealous? |
42518 | If it were not for this fact with what despairing agony should we utter the cry of Esaias,"Who hath believed our report? |
42518 | If men once said,"There is corn in Egypt,"may they not always say that the finest of the wheat is to be found in secret prayer? |
42518 | If the Law of heaven were as swift to punish as the law of man, where were we? |
42518 | If the Lord says this can any of us complain? |
42518 | If you and I were in God''s place, should we have borne it? |
42518 | If you cut down the blades, where will the ears come from? |
42518 | If you do not sow your faith by using it, how can it grow? |
42518 | If, as some tell us, the ethical part of Christianity is much more to be thought of than its peculiar doctrines, then, why did Jesus die at all? |
42518 | Indeed, the Lord has to restrain the servants of his anger, for the heavens cry,"Why should we cover that wretch''s head?" |
42518 | Is Jesus your life? |
42518 | Is glory the end and outcome of that which fills our home with mourning? |
42518 | Is it a matter of soul- concern with you to be reconciled to God, and to have an interest in Jesus''precious blood? |
42518 | Is it in dissipation that your life is to be spent? |
42518 | Is it not an insult to God''s_ wisdom_? |
42518 | Is it not because_ he has opportunities which he does not use_? |
42518 | Is it not generally understood that you must measure a man''s understanding by the amount of his ready cash? |
42518 | Is it not growing dreadfully likely that you will die in your sins and perish for ever? |
42518 | Is it not so? |
42518 | Is it not time that you bestirred yourself? |
42518 | Is it not to separate it from the straw and the chaff? |
42518 | Is it not written,"I will bring them under the rod of the covenant"? |
42518 | Is it not written,"Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth"? |
42518 | Is it not written,"So he giveth his beloved sleep"? |
42518 | Is not that a suggestive metaphor? |
42518 | Is not that enough? |
42518 | Is not the time come for an open confession? |
42518 | Is not this common sense? |
42518 | Is not this good reasoning? |
42518 | Is not this the way of wisdom? |
42518 | Is that it? |
42518 | Is that word true to your soul,"I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day?" |
42518 | Is the eternal happiness of the righteous the birth which comes of their death- pangs? |
42518 | Is the love of Jesus the principal wheat with us? |
42518 | Is there any bliss like the bliss of knowing that you are in Christ, and are the beloved of the Lord? |
42518 | Is there any room for patience now? |
42518 | Is there any secret corner of your heart which you will keep for Jesus? |
42518 | Is there here a wayside hearer? |
42518 | Is there no one here that will trust the Saviour? |
42518 | Is there not a promise,"In due season we shall reap, if we faint not"? |
42518 | Is there one who prays within himself,"God be merciful to me a sinner"? |
42518 | Is there such a being? |
42518 | Is this a thing to be winked at? |
42518 | Is this a trifle? |
42518 | Is this going to last forever? |
42518 | Is this the spirit of Christ? |
42518 | Is this wise? |
42518 | It is fine talk, certainly; but doth the ploughman plough all day? |
42518 | It may be at the first seeking I may not find; what then? |
42518 | It may happen that at my first asking I shall not receive; what then? |
42518 | It will be ripened; but can_ you_ do it? |
42518 | Kept by the eternal Spirit of God, shall there not be produced in us fruits to his glory? |
42518 | Know ye not that the church is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all? |
42518 | Knowest thou anything about this? |
42518 | Listen:"Doth the ploughman plough all day?" |
42518 | Man, hast thou never cultivated thy heart? |
42518 | May I next ask you to look into_ your own house_ and home? |
42518 | May there not come a day when the millions of London shall worship God with one consent? |
42518 | Might he not have said,"Friend, why doest thou this? |
42518 | Moreover,_ sin makes God''s creatures unhappy_, and shall not the Lord, therefore, abhor it? |
42518 | Must I work always where nothing comes of it? |
42518 | Must his preachers continue to cast pearls before swine? |
42518 | My brethren, is not meditation the land of Goshen to you? |
42518 | Need we enlarge upon this terror? |
42518 | Note again that, if it be not farmed for God,_ the soul will yield its natural produce_; and what is the natural produce of land if left to itself? |
42518 | O rock, wouldst thou become like wax? |
42518 | O rock, wouldst thou dissolve into rivers of repentance? |
42518 | O sinner, why do you not trust Jesus Christ? |
42518 | O ye who are sore wounded in the place of dragons, I hear you cry, Doth God always send terror and conviction of sin? |
42518 | Oftentimes, when otherwise you might have hesitated, you will say,"The vows of the Lord are upon me: how can I draw back?" |
42518 | Once with the unthinking many, he cried,"Who will show us any good?" |
42518 | Or are you a Christian? |
42518 | Or can you show me how I can improve? |
42518 | Or is it that their coming helps to make them comfortable in their sins? |
42518 | Or saith he it altogether for our sakes?" |
42518 | Or will you choose a life of pleasure--"a short life and a merry one,"as so many fools have said to their great sorrow? |
42518 | Others, again, are very heavily pressed; but what of that if they are a superior grain, a seed of larger usefulness, intended for higher purposes? |
42518 | Ought not the Lord to have a harvest of obedience, a harvest of holiness, a harvest of usefulness, a harvest of praise? |
42518 | Ought they not to be put in an asylum? |
42518 | Our fields are parched if vernal showers and gentle dews are withheld, and what are our souls without the gracious visitations of the Spirit? |
42518 | Out of that all- encompassing horror he crieth,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
42518 | Persecuting Saul became loving Paul, and why should not that person be saved of whose case you almost despair? |
42518 | Pilate cries,"Answerest thou nothing? |
42518 | Poor, simple, weak- hearted, and troubled one, look to Jesus and answer, Can such a Saviour suffer in vain? |
42518 | Remember how Paul put it:"Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos?" |
42518 | Satan or the world will walk in; and do you wonder? |
42518 | Shall I bring the gospel plough? |
42518 | Shall I laugh at that which made my Saviour groan? |
42518 | Shall I stand here and rain tears upon this hard highway? |
42518 | Shall I toy and dally with that which stabbed him to the heart? |
42518 | Shall Jesus''lips give the invitation, and will you say him nay? |
42518 | Shall Omnipotence be defeated? |
42518 | Shall coin be your principal corn? |
42518 | Shall he come and find you sleeping? |
42518 | Shall horses run upon the rock? |
42518 | Shall insignificant nobodies rob God of his glory? |
42518 | Shall it always be so? |
42518 | Shall it always be the lot of God''s ministers to be trifled with? |
42518 | Shall it be so? |
42518 | Shall it not be so? |
42518 | Shall one plough there with oxen? |
42518 | Shall sin ever be a trifle to me? |
42518 | Shall the Holy Spirit produce less fruit in you than that which you yielded under the spirit of evil? |
42518 | Shall the horses always plough upon the rock? |
42518 | Shall the oxen always labor there? |
42518 | Shall the preacher continue his fruitless toil? |
42518 | Should a child select the rod? |
42518 | Should the grain appoint its own thresher? |
42518 | Sinner, can you hope to enter heaven? |
42518 | Sinner, dost thou know that every act of disobedience to God''s law is virtually an act of_ high treason_? |
42518 | Sinner, wilt thou have him or no? |
42518 | Sinner, wilt thou not give up thy sins for the sake of him who suffered for sin? |
42518 | So much as this we may know, and is it not enough for all practical purposes? |
42518 | Some discourses do little more than show the difference between tweedle-_dum_ and tweedle-_dee_, and what is the use of that? |
42518 | Some may say, Why does not the believer reap all the field, and take all the corn home with him? |
42518 | Some of you were whole- hearted enough when in the service of the evil one, will you be half- hearted in the service of God? |
42518 | Suppose we sow the fields with sawdust, or sprinkle them with rose- water, what of that? |
42518 | The Lord''s husbandry upon us has shown a great expenditure of cost, and labor, and thought; ought there not to be a proportionate return? |
42518 | The Lord-- is he always to be resisted and provoked? |
42518 | The Sabbath is a wearisome day to you; how can you hope to enter into the Sabbath of God? |
42518 | The cattle pasture upon that which satisfies them; why should not I obtain satisfaction too? |
42518 | The grain of wheat when it is put into the ground dies; do we mean that it ceases to be? |
42518 | The legible handwriting of Satan is upon you-- can you not see the blots? |
42518 | The text, with the connection, runs thus:"Does not the husbandman cast in the principal wheat?" |
42518 | Then will I ask all day? |
42518 | There is a principal thing for which we ought to live, what shall it be?" |
42518 | These people have been preached to, taught, instructed, admonished, expostulated with, and advised; shall this unrecompensed work be always performed? |
42518 | They have no cares now; the shop is given up, they live in the country; they have not to ask,"Where shall the money come from to meet the next bill?" |
42518 | They have religion? |
42518 | This is a mournful state of things, is it not? |
42518 | This soil is rock; can we not sow it without breaking it? |
42518 | This work of God having proceeded in the growth of the seed, what next? |
42518 | Thou canst trim thy body, and spend many a minute at the glass; dost thou not care for thy soul? |
42518 | Threescore years old and yet unsaved? |
42518 | Travellers toward the North Pole tremble as they think of this question,"Who can stand before his cold?" |
42518 | WHAT IS THE JOY OF HARVEST which is here taken as the simile of the joy of the saints before God? |
42518 | WHAT JOYS ARE THOSE WHICH TO THE BELIEVER ARE AS THE JOY OF HARVEST? |
42518 | Was it self- sown? |
42518 | Wast thou satisfied? |
42518 | Watered with the drops of the Saviour''s bloody sweat, shall we not bring forth a hundredfold to his praise? |
42518 | We have given them a fair trial; what do reason and prudence say? |
42518 | We hold up our hands in glad astonishment and cry,"Who are these that fly as a cloud and as doves to their windows?" |
42518 | We in England sin against extraordinary light and sevenfold knowledge; and is this a light thing? |
42518 | We must not expect to find the best field next to our own house, we may have to journey to the far end of the parish, but what of that? |
42518 | We will ask it of men who plough their own farms; do they recommend perseverance when failure is certain? |
42518 | Were you ever present at the scene when they drive them down to the brook? |
42518 | What answer can we give? |
42518 | What are you living for? |
42518 | What brings these senseless sinners here? |
42518 | What but crime and infamy? |
42518 | What but mere smoke? |
42518 | What but sin and misery? |
42518 | What but thorns and nettles, or some other useless weeds? |
42518 | What but unholiness and vice? |
42518 | What can you and I do in this matter? |
42518 | What could the Lord do for us more than he has done? |
42518 | What did our Lord say? |
42518 | What do I find provided in Scripture? |
42518 | What dost thou do but seek to be God thyself, thine own master, thine own lord? |
42518 | What dost thou know about it, poor sufferer? |
42518 | What good comes of fretting? |
42518 | What has become of them? |
42518 | What has he as the result of all his honors? |
42518 | What has he got by his wealth? |
42518 | What has the church been doing all these years? |
42518 | What have I to do but to feed on these truths? |
42518 | What if God should say,"I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down"? |
42518 | What if all the other laborers became Hodgeites and Hobbsites, and so parcelled out the farm among them? |
42518 | What is death? |
42518 | What is growing in his mind and character? |
42518 | What is sin? |
42518 | What is that for? |
42518 | What is the natural produce of this great city if we leave its streets, and lanes, and alleys without the gospel? |
42518 | What is the natural produce of your children if you leave them untrained for God? |
42518 | What is the natural produce of your heart and mine? |
42518 | What is the object of threshing the grain? |
42518 | What is the use of preaching to him? |
42518 | What is the use of zeal abroad if there is neglect at home? |
42518 | What is there to hinder it? |
42518 | What is this vital principle, this secret reproducing energy? |
42518 | What is to hinder your dying with a spade in your hand? |
42518 | What is your position, dear friend? |
42518 | What is your principal aim? |
42518 | What is"nature"? |
42518 | What more could he have done for his farm? |
42518 | What must the tender, loving, gracious Jesus have meant by the words,"Gather the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them?" |
42518 | What saith he? |
42518 | What saith the Saviour? |
42518 | What shall I do for you? |
42518 | What shall we do? |
42518 | What then is the springing up of piety in the heart? |
42518 | What then? |
42518 | What then? |
42518 | What then? |
42518 | What then? |
42518 | What think you, friend? |
42518 | What was the use of disturbing himself? |
42518 | What will come out of all else? |
42518 | What will you say to excuse yourself, for opportunities lost, time wasted, and talents wrapped up in a napkin, when the Lord shall come? |
42518 | What worse than this can happen? |
42518 | What"it"? |
42518 | What, not by that matchless teaching? |
42518 | What, not with all that holy living? |
42518 | What, then, shall I say to you who are my Lord''s beloved? |
42518 | When a father is going to correct his child, does he select something pleasant? |
42518 | When are you going to do it, friend? |
42518 | When the law comes forth thundering from its treasuries, who can stand before it? |
42518 | When the rivers are hard frozen, and the earth is held in iron chains, then the melting of the whole-- how is that done? |
42518 | When they smote him on the face with the palms of their hands, it would not have been wonderful if he had said,"Wherefore do you smite me so?" |
42518 | When you and I preach or teach it will be well if we say to ourselves,"What will be the use of what I am going to do? |
42518 | When you have gone right to the end of the field once, what shall you do next? |
42518 | Where can we feed and lie down in green pastures in so sweet a sense as we do in our musings on the Word? |
42518 | Where did she sit? |
42518 | Where is it? |
42518 | Where now your boastings and your loud- mouthed blasphemies? |
42518 | Where now your confidence? |
42518 | Where now your merriment? |
42518 | Where now your pride and your pomp? |
42518 | Wherefore do we doubt him? |
42518 | Who among US shall dwell with everlasting burnings? |
42518 | Who among US? |
42518 | Who among us can look upon his life- work without some sorrow? |
42518 | Who among us? |
42518 | Who asked you to tremble for the ark of the Lord? |
42518 | Who beat the big drum, or blew his own trumpet? |
42518 | Who have most largely blessed the present age? |
42518 | Who will have the most joy? |
42518 | Why are certain men so extremely rocky? |
42518 | Why do men come to hear if the word never enters their hearts? |
42518 | Why do you happen to be members of a certain church? |
42518 | Why is he void of understanding? |
42518 | Why is it that certain"intellectual"folk can not get any good out of our soundest ministers? |
42518 | Why is it that proud people seldom profit under the word? |
42518 | Why must there be such a difference?" |
42518 | Why need they fall into a ditch because their leader has splashed himself? |
42518 | Why not ask a blessing on the cup of bitterness as well as upon the cup of thanksgiving? |
42518 | Why not? |
42518 | Why should not I obtain what I want? |
42518 | Why should you want hailstones of terror? |
42518 | Why stand ye all the day idle? |
42518 | Why, then, plough the rock any longer? |
42518 | Why, you can not create a fly, how can you create a new heart and a right spirit? |
42518 | Will God bless our moral essays, and fine compositions, and pretty passages? |
42518 | Will he hear those that can not speak, and will he not hear those who can? |
42518 | Will it be always so? |
42518 | Will it continue till the spirit fails and the soul expires? |
42518 | Will it not be wise for you, also, to allow things to begin at the beginning, and to be satisfied with their being small at the first? |
42518 | Will one in four of our hearers, with well- prepared heart, receive the Word? |
42518 | Will one plough there with oxen?" |
42518 | Will the great Husbandman bid his ploughmen spill their lives for nought? |
42518 | Will you be a money- spinner? |
42518 | Will you be like that wheat in the mummy''s hand, unfruitful and forgotten, or would you grow? |
42518 | Will you make less sacrifice for Christ than you did for your sins? |
42518 | Will you never believe in him of whom you hear so much? |
42518 | Will you not eat of your own? |
42518 | Will you recollect this? |
42518 | Will you refuse Boaz? |
42518 | Will you serve Christ less than you served your lusts? |
42518 | Will you think of this? |
42518 | Wilt thou believe in Christ? |
42518 | Wilt thou trust thy soul in his hands at once? |
42518 | Would any of you continue to pursue an object when it has proved to be hopeless? |
42518 | Would you detain your dear wife here with all her suffering? |
42518 | Would you have the tares and the wheat heaped up together in the granary in one mass? |
42518 | Would you hold back your husband from the crown immortal? |
42518 | Would you keep your old father here, full of pain, and broken down with feebleness? |
42518 | Would you shut him out of glory? |
42518 | Yes, he does; then if I am seeking Christ, ought I to be discouraged because I do not immediately find him? |
42518 | You are afraid the kingdom of Christ will not come, are you? |
42518 | You know the theory, but do you know the experimental power of this within your own spirit? |
42518 | You never loved your mother''s God, and is he to endure you in his heavenly courts? |
42518 | You never trusted your father''s Saviour, and yet are you to behold his glory for ever? |
42518 | You or God? |
42518 | _ Let us go from preaching the law to preaching the gospel._"Doth the ploughman plough all day?" |
42518 | and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" |
42518 | but if he be happy, who shall excuse him? |
42518 | but,"says one,"how can it be? |
42518 | not begetting life in one spirit? |
42518 | now the seed will grow, will it not? |
42518 | or has it taken no root? |
42518 | or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?" |
42518 | that he is not moving in one soul? |
42518 | was Paul crucified for you? |
42518 | who_ among us_ shall abide with the devouring flame? |
42518 | will one plough there with oxen?" |
42518 | will one plough there with oxen?" |
42518 | will one plough there with oxen?" |
37274 | And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? 37274 Having loved_ His own_ which were in the world, He loved them"--how long? |
37274 | He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? |
37274 | How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? |
37274 | Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for My sake? 37274 O our God, wilt Thou not judge them? |
37274 | Of what use,it might be argued,"can it be to uphold the standard when all is gone to pieces? |
37274 | Open to what? |
37274 | Peter said unto Him, Lord, why can not I follow Thee now? 37274 The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? |
37274 | The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? |
37274 | Then cometh He to Simon Peter; and Peter saith unto Him,''Lord, dost Thou wash my feet?'' 37274 What shall we say then? |
37274 | When He makes bare His arm, Who shall His work withstand? 37274 Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant? |
37274 | A grand reality, most surely: who could duly estimate it? |
37274 | Abandon the ground in impatience, chagrin, and disappointment? |
37274 | Again:"Wilt thou obediently keep God''s holy will and commandments, and walk in the same all the days of thy life? |
37274 | All this is most true; but what right have we to imagine that Cornelius was praying, fasting, and giving alms in order to earn salvation? |
37274 | And can aught be more unseemly than to see a number of people sitting, lolling, lounging, and gaping about while prayer is being offered? |
37274 | And does He not act in various places? |
37274 | And dost thou not know full well, reader, that there are two sides to this great question, as there are to every question? |
37274 | And further, can we not distinctly recall the fact that there was a most decided setting aside of all human arrangement and official routine? |
37274 | And further, let us ask, who was the most earnest, laborious, and faithful preacher that ever trod this earth? |
37274 | And has He not? |
37274 | And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones? |
37274 | And hence we can say, What may we not expect, seeing that Christ has died for us? |
37274 | And how can we best reach the people, for whom the tracts and books are prepared? |
37274 | And how do we get life? |
37274 | And in the event of this, where is the difference between that assembly and the systems of men?" |
37274 | And is it not comely and right so to do? |
37274 | And must not the believer cross it? |
37274 | And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them? |
37274 | And then the question,"_ Who am I?_"In this we see the blessed fact that self was for the moment lost sight of. |
37274 | And then what was to become of him if the prisoners were gone? |
37274 | And were they not showing the way of salvation? |
37274 | And what do they designate large- heartedness? |
37274 | And what does he do? |
37274 | And what has He said? |
37274 | And what is the difference between the blood- stained lintel and the divided sea? |
37274 | And what then? |
37274 | And what, let me ask, was the effect of all this upon the heart of David? |
37274 | And what, on the contrary, is a large and liberal heart? |
37274 | And where do these virtues shine out? |
37274 | And who has been preaching the gospel for the last eighteen centuries? |
37274 | And why? |
37274 | And why? |
37274 | And why? |
37274 | And why? |
37274 | And, may we not ask, what more could be said in the Church''s brightest days? |
37274 | And, on the same principle, how can a soul grow in the divine life, if he is always liable to doubt whether he has that life or not? |
37274 | And, we may ask, is not He sufficient? |
37274 | Are we affording any practical proof in daily life that Christ has died for us, and that we have died in Him? |
37274 | Are we declaring plainly that we have passed clean over Jordan-- that we belong to heaven-- that we are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit? |
37274 | Are we erecting our memorial? |
37274 | Are we giving evidence-- such evidence as may strike even the mind of a child-- of the fact that our Jesus has vanquished the power of death for us? |
37274 | Are we living as those who are dead with Christ-- dead to sin-- dead to the world? |
37274 | Are we living in the world or living in heaven-- which? |
37274 | Are we practically freed from the world-- letting go our hold of present things, in the power of communion with a risen Christ? |
37274 | Are we taught from the word of God that the early Church ever elected its own pastors or teachers? |
37274 | Are we to allow ourselves to fall under the fatal influence of the surrounding malaria? |
37274 | Are we to continue in error because the dispensation has failed?" |
37274 | Are you built on Christ? |
37274 | Are you content with such a sandy foundation? |
37274 | Are you in this path? |
37274 | Are you looking to your own heart or to Christ''s finished work for salvation? |
37274 | Are you thoroughly satisfied with God''s foundation? |
37274 | Are you wise-- are you right, in persisting in such a line of action under such circumstances? |
37274 | Art thou consciously standing on the solid ground of holy Scripture? |
37274 | Art thou washed in the precious atoning blood of Christ? |
37274 | As long as they behaved themselves, and walked with unsoiled feet? |
37274 | Beloved reader, are you on this foundation? |
37274 | Beloved reader, dost thou still hesitate? |
37274 | Brethren, of what use, may I ask you, would a blind love be to you or to me? |
37274 | But I think I hear you saying,"Where is all the Scripture we were to have had? |
37274 | But are we to be idle? |
37274 | But does it not seem to you, beloved, that we often err on the other side? |
37274 | But does it not strike you that we want more of the individual work? |
37274 | But does not Jordan represent death? |
37274 | But for the present we pause, and shall close this paper with a solemn and earnest question to the reader,_ Art thou sheltered by the blood of Jesus_? |
37274 | But how did the believers at Jerusalem meet together? |
37274 | But how is it now in the professing Church? |
37274 | But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?" |
37274 | But if I am afraid to face the Word of God, or if I am willfully refusing its action, how can I enjoy communion with God? |
37274 | But if so, what is the day which specially characterizes that dispensation? |
37274 | But in what aspect? |
37274 | But it may be asked, Is there no preparation necessary? |
37274 | But it will be asked,"Were there not elders and deacons in the early Church, and ought we not to have such likewise?" |
37274 | But may we not often detect ourselves in the habit of lightly and formally asking others to pray for us? |
37274 | But ought not the lambs and sheep to be gathered and cared for? |
37274 | But some may ask,"Is there no danger of incompetent men intruding their ministry upon an assembly of God? |
37274 | But the question is, have we made them our own-- have they been applied practically to our souls by the power of the Holy Ghost? |
37274 | But the sheep must be gathered before they can be fed; and how are they to be gathered but by the earnest preaching of the gospel? |
37274 | But then what of the law? |
37274 | But we must return to our theme; and in doing so, we would ask the reader if he really understands the true spiritual import of the river Jordan? |
37274 | But what is Christianity? |
37274 | But what is an assembly to do when abuses creep in? |
37274 | But what is fellowship? |
37274 | But what is"the camp?" |
37274 | But what then? |
37274 | But what, we repeat, were these living stones doing? |
37274 | But where have we anything like this now? |
37274 | But whither should Christ''s sheep be gathered? |
37274 | But who among us does? |
37274 | But who told thee this? |
37274 | But why did Mordecai refuse to bow to Haman? |
37274 | But, we may here inquire,"Is there aught in the history of God''s people now answering to Israel''s experience at the Red Sea?" |
37274 | C. H. M. FOOTNOTE:[ V.] When the jailer at Philippi inquired of Paul and Silas,"What must I do to be saved?" |
37274 | Can anything be more hardening to the heart, or more deadening to the conscience than this? |
37274 | Can it be"gold, silver, precious stones?" |
37274 | Can it have your Lord''s approving smile? |
37274 | Can selfishness live in the view of the cross? |
37274 | Can thoughts about our own interests, or our own gratification, be indulged in the presence of Him who sacrificed Himself for us? |
37274 | Can you not wait until night has drawn her sable curtain around you, and your closet door has shut you in, and then pour out your heart to your God? |
37274 | Canst thou give a"Thus saith the Lord"for the position which thou occupiest, at this moment? |
37274 | Christian reader, are you thinking of"the regions beyond you?" |
37274 | Could I depend upon God''s grace to enable me to abide under the curse? |
37274 | Could a family circle, after the toils of the day, sit down to supper with sighs and gloomy looks? |
37274 | Did not He take up and use instruments the most unfit and unfurnished, according to human thinking, for the accomplishment of His gracious purpose? |
37274 | Did not that make some difference? |
37274 | Did they do"_ all_"that the Lord commanded? |
37274 | Did they really think that Jehovah was going to judge and destroy them, after all? |
37274 | Did they"continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them?" |
37274 | Do we mourn over the coldness, barrenness, and death around us? |
37274 | Do we not feel the lack of power in all our public reunions? |
37274 | Do we not often, by a stiff and peculiar style, cast a chill upon young converts? |
37274 | Do we not remember the style and character of the agents who were chiefly used in the conversion of souls? |
37274 | Do we really understand such utterances? |
37274 | Do we really understand these words? |
37274 | Do we really want man''s authority to make us sure that God has spoken? |
37274 | Do we, in very deed, perceive their application to ourselves? |
37274 | Do you earnestly desire to follow your Lord? |
37274 | Do you ever think of calling in question your own very personal welcome to study the book of Creation? |
37274 | Do you not often find that it is after the more formal public preaching is finished, and the close personal work begins, that souls are reached? |
37274 | Do you not think that if we had more"Philips"we should have more"Nathanaels?" |
37274 | Do you really aim at something beyond mere empty profession, cold orthodoxy, or mechanical religiousness? |
37274 | Do you sigh for reality, depth, energy, fervor, and whole- heartedness? |
37274 | Does He send His sunlight and showers to mock and to tantalize, or to gladden and refresh? |
37274 | Does he believe it? |
37274 | Does not the voice of Holy Scripture bear the clearest testimony to the fact of the interest of the Trinity in the work of the gospel? |
37274 | Faith can now, therefore, sing triumphantly,"O death, where is thy sting? |
37274 | Finally, if we be asked,"Where is the true expression of this assembly of God now?" |
37274 | Fold our arms in cold indifference? |
37274 | For how long? |
37274 | For instance, when a believer dies and goes to heaven, is he called to fight? |
37274 | For then would they not have ceased to be offered? |
37274 | For what do men now call bigotry and narrow- mindedness? |
37274 | For what end? |
37274 | For what had he to build upon in himself? |
37274 | For what, after all, is a narrow mind? |
37274 | For who is there of all flesh that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? |
37274 | For, what is it? |
37274 | Fourthly, what is the_ authority_ on which the assembly is gathered? |
37274 | Had He not bestowed it upon his seed forever? |
37274 | Had He not made Abraham a present of the land of Canaan? |
37274 | Had He not ratified the gift by His word and His oath-- these two immutable things in which it was impossible for Him to lie? |
37274 | Had He not said to them,"Ye shall not need to fight"? |
37274 | Had he a"Thus saith the Lord"for his warrant in refusing a single nod of the head to the proud Amalekite? |
37274 | Have books and tracts lost their interest and value in our eyes? |
37274 | Have we entered into their real force and meaning? |
37274 | Have we not here a very elevated character of work? |
37274 | Have we not to deplore the objectless character of our prayer- meetings? |
37274 | Have we the custody of the Lamb''s book of life? |
37274 | Have we weighed the full force of the expression,"living in the world"? |
37274 | Have you come to Him as God''s living Stone, and given Him the full confidence of your heart? |
37274 | Have you ever pondered these words? |
37274 | Have you ever seen their application to yourself? |
37274 | Have you found any great breadth of truth in them? |
37274 | Having an evil nature, a crafty foe, and a hostile world to cope with, how is he to get on? |
37274 | He had to tread that rough path in profound solitude-- for who could accompany Him? |
37274 | He has died to sin, in the death of Christ; and what power has sin over a dead man? |
37274 | He might have gone forth and enjoyed his freedom, but what of them? |
37274 | He said unto Jesus,"Lord, whither goest thou? |
37274 | He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? |
37274 | How am I to know that God has spoken to me? |
37274 | How are we to know that Christ has, by His work on the cross, absolutely and divinely accomplished the will of God? |
37274 | How can I bow to one with whom Jehovah is at war? |
37274 | How can I do homage to a man whom the faithful Samuel would hew in pieces before the Lord?" |
37274 | How can I possess this precious faith?" |
37274 | How can I realize that I am dead to sin? |
37274 | How can a man get life by keeping that which requires life to keep it-- a life which he has not? |
37274 | How can any one run a race, if he has not cleared the starting post? |
37274 | How can he erect a building, if he has not laid the foundation? |
37274 | How can he pass off the platform of nature? |
37274 | How can he reach the blessed position of those to whom the Holy Ghost declares,"Ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit"? |
37274 | How can there be, seeing He has borne the condemnation in their stead? |
37274 | How can we tell whether a man is eternally linked with Christ or not? |
37274 | How could God, as a holy Father, grant such petitions? |
37274 | How could I ever have the self- consciousness of it, while in the body? |
37274 | How could I feel it? |
37274 | How could I realize it? |
37274 | How could acceptable priestly service be discharged with unclean hands? |
37274 | How could any one, of old, have constituted himself a son of Aaron? |
37274 | How could he face the authorities? |
37274 | How could he leave them behind? |
37274 | How could it be otherwise when we so fail in waiting upon God? |
37274 | How could it be otherwise with an honest mind? |
37274 | How could it be otherwise? |
37274 | How could they take possession of Canaan with the reproach of Egypt resting upon them? |
37274 | How could truth ever hinder Christians from giving expression to the unity of the Church? |
37274 | How could uncircumcised people dispossess the Canaanites? |
37274 | How do I know this? |
37274 | How does this appear? |
37274 | How is he to be kept? |
37274 | How is he to be lifted up if he falls? |
37274 | How is he to be restored if he wanders? |
37274 | How is it then that there is so little of this latter? |
37274 | How is the Christian to be kept in the face of such things? |
37274 | How is this most precious life to be had? |
37274 | How is this to be done? |
37274 | How is this? |
37274 | How is this? |
37274 | How is this? |
37274 | How many of those who fill our preaching rooms and lecture halls follow the example of Lydia? |
37274 | How shall_ we that are dead_ to sin, live any longer therein? |
37274 | How would he act in the face of all this? |
37274 | How, then, are all those things to be met? |
37274 | How, then, could we break it with sad hearts or sorrowful countenances? |
37274 | How, then, should we treat him? |
37274 | I must work there?" |
37274 | I would affectionately ask such, Are we to have no higher object before us in our actings than our own happiness? |
37274 | If I were to attempt to shape my way according to the thoughts of men, where should I be? |
37274 | If Jesus is in our midst, why should we think of setting up a human president? |
37274 | If all the really spiritual members were to stay away on such a ground, what would become of the prayer- meeting? |
37274 | If it be allowable to depart from Scripture at all, how far are we to go? |
37274 | If not, what mean the words,"Christ for His part, and this infant for his part?" |
37274 | If not, what then? |
37274 | If not, why not? |
37274 | If one were to be asked what he would consider most necessary for such days as these? |
37274 | If the authority of tradition be admitted at all, who is to fix its domain? |
37274 | If this be not a dishonor done to the Lord Christ, what is? |
37274 | If we admit, for a moment, that, in some things, we must have recourse to tradition and expediency, then who will undertake to fix the boundary line? |
37274 | If we had more"Andrews,"we should have more"Simons?" |
37274 | If you again ask,"How?" |
37274 | If you are anxious to get salvation, and God desires you should have it, why need you be another moment without it? |
37274 | If your sphere of work lies inside the camp, when your Master tells you to go forth, what shall we say for your work? |
37274 | In a word, of what is the Red Sea a type? |
37274 | Is Christian life to be made up of a series of negations? |
37274 | Is He a living Stone? |
37274 | Is He a precious Stone? |
37274 | Is He a rejected Stone? |
37274 | Is all this real and true? |
37274 | Is it a question of Satan? |
37274 | Is it a question of anxiety about my eternal salvation? |
37274 | Is it a question of death? |
37274 | Is it a question of guilt? |
37274 | Is it a question of sin? |
37274 | Is it a question of the world? |
37274 | Is it a question of trespass? |
37274 | Is it because I feel it? |
37274 | Is it because you feel it? |
37274 | Is it into the folds of man''s erection, or into an assembly gathered on divine ground? |
37274 | Is it needful, think you, to wait that God should do something more for your salvation? |
37274 | Is it not invariably something designed for the testing, or experimenting for the improvement, or advancement of the first man? |
37274 | Is it not plain that I am throwing overboard the cross? |
37274 | Is it not plain that salvation is made to depend upon something or some one besides Christ? |
37274 | Is it not plain that the professing Church neither keeps the right day as the sabbath, nor does she keep it after the Scripture mode? |
37274 | Is it not quite enough for us to be"joined to the Lord?" |
37274 | Is it not so? |
37274 | Is it to Old Testament scripture merely? |
37274 | Is it to mock or to tantalize you by presenting before you what was never intended for you? |
37274 | Is it-- can it be, true humility to reduce the blood of Christ to the level of the blood of bulls and of goats? |
37274 | Is mere feeling the ground of your faith? |
37274 | Is not that sufficient? |
37274 | Is not the New Testament a sufficient rule without the Ten Commandments? |
37274 | Is not the deficiency manifest from the fact that we see so little result from our prayers? |
37274 | Is not the lack of this the explanation of much leanness of soul, from which knowledge alone is not able to lift us up? |
37274 | Is not this something? |
37274 | Is the Christian not to be as one living in the world? |
37274 | Is the discipline of the Church of God founded upon what we can know, or upon what we_ can not_? |
37274 | Is the reader in the habit of using such a form of words? |
37274 | Is there a heart here to- night that will say, I am not satisfied with Christ''s service: I can not rest in His work? |
37274 | Is there anything questionable in thy surroundings and associations? |
37274 | Is there no lesson here for us? |
37274 | Is there no one who will enter upon it in simple faith, looking to the living God? |
37274 | Is there no one who will take up this valuable work for Christ''s sake and not for the sake of remuneration? |
37274 | Is there not a danger of the evangelist becoming merged in the teacher? |
37274 | Is there not a sad lack of this"one accord,""one place"principle in our midst? |
37274 | Is there not a want of that deep, personal, loving interest in souls which will express itself in a thousand ways that act powerfully on the heart? |
37274 | Is there not frequently something repulsive in our spirit and deportment? |
37274 | Is there nothing for us to do in the outside place to which we are called? |
37274 | Is there nothing positive? |
37274 | Is this nothing? |
37274 | Is this the way to"render unto the Lord"? |
37274 | It may be asked,"Is it possible that a true child of God could ever be found in such a low moral condition?" |
37274 | It may be said by the advocates of human authority,"How could an assembly ever get on without some human presidency? |
37274 | It may, however, be asked,"How could all the believers in London meet in one place?" |
37274 | Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized to Jesus Christ were baptized to His death? |
37274 | Many might have felt disposed to say to him,"Why persist in this practice? |
37274 | May it speak with living power to the soul of the unconverted reader, leading him to cry out in all sincerity,"What is to be done?" |
37274 | Must not the fault be in us?--are we not deficient in concord and confidence? |
37274 | Must we not admit that our reunions for prayer suffer sadly from long, rambling, desultory prayers? |
37274 | My reader, can you own such a fearful surrender of the truth of God? |
37274 | Need we wonder at the little result? |
37274 | Need we wonder that such an one should cry mightily to God? |
37274 | Now where, we ask, is this precedent followed? |
37274 | Now, in view of all this, what shall we say of Christendom''s priests and Christendom''s sacrifices? |
37274 | Now, my beloved hearers, I ask you, before I proceed, this question, Is there a heart in this congregation that has not yet rested here? |
37274 | Now, the question is, are not our prayers and prayer- meetings sadly deficient on this point? |
37274 | Now, the question is, how far do we understand this great lesson? |
37274 | Now, under such circumstances, what is one to do? |
37274 | Now, we may feel disposed to ask, Are these the people whom we have seen so recently feeding, in perfect safety, under the cover of the blood? |
37274 | Now, what is the simple application of all this to us as Christians? |
37274 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
37274 | O our God, wilt Thou not judge them? |
37274 | Of what, then, were they afraid? |
37274 | Or does the fault lie in the mode of conducting our Tract depots? |
37274 | Ought we not to come together more with some definite object on our hearts, as to which we are going to wait together upon God? |
37274 | Ought we not to examine ourselves as to how far we really understand these two conditions of prayer, namely, unanimity and confidence? |
37274 | Reader, are you assembled on this divine ground? |
37274 | Reader, art thou on God''s ground? |
37274 | Reader, art thou, at this moment in any pressure, in any trial, need, or difficulty? |
37274 | Reader, do you really want salvation? |
37274 | Reader, dost thou not utterly abhor it? |
37274 | Reader, is all this, think you, understood and taught in Christendom? |
37274 | Reader, why was this? |
37274 | Say, dear friend, are thy sins forgiven? |
37274 | Say, dear friend,_ have you_? |
37274 | Say, is the salvation of thy never- dying soul just_ the_ one thing in which thou canst do nothing? |
37274 | Secondly, what is the_ centre_ round which the assembly is gathered? |
37274 | Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
37274 | Should not we go and do likewise? |
37274 | Should they seek aught else? |
37274 | Should we not seek to save a drowning man, even though we could not command the use of a patent life- boat? |
37274 | Should we teach him not to pray? |
37274 | Suppose, then, I find myself in a place where two or more tables have been spread; what am I to do? |
37274 | Take Judaism or any other_ ism_ that ever was known or that now exists in this world, and what do you find it to be? |
37274 | Take what? |
37274 | The application is for your own heart to ponder: but say, are you thinking of"the regions beyond you?" |
37274 | The continual inquiry of the Christian should be, not is this or that according to law? |
37274 | The difficulty of faith is,"How shall He_ not_?" |
37274 | The difficulty of unbelief is,"How shall He?" |
37274 | The grand question is this, Is God''s word sufficient or not? |
37274 | The inspired volume has been placed in your hand and laid open before your eyes; and for what think you? |
37274 | The moment we see man usurping authority in that which calls itself the church, we simply ask,"Who are you?" |
37274 | The question forces itself upon us,"Is the man speaking to God, or to us?" |
37274 | The question is not,"Am I doing a great deal of work? |
37274 | The question is, How will she receive the action? |
37274 | The question is,_ What is that assembly_? |
37274 | Then why not take it, as God''s free gift? |
37274 | There is the Christ of God and the word of God, and-- what then? |
37274 | Thirdly, what is the_ power_ by which the assembly is gathered? |
37274 | This conducts us naturally to our second point, namely, What is the centre round which God''s assembly is gathered? |
37274 | This latter is of all- importance, inasmuch as it may be truly said, Is not God everywhere? |
37274 | To consider ourselves? |
37274 | To heaven, or to Rome? |
37274 | To what"volume"does He here refer? |
37274 | Was it merely a whim of his own? |
37274 | Was it not most manifestly a work of God''s Spirit? |
37274 | Was she not saying the truth? |
37274 | Was the Church told to inquire? |
37274 | Was there any divine reason for Daniel''s praying toward Jerusalem? |
37274 | Was there any great principle at stake? |
37274 | Was this blind obstinacy, or bold decision-- which? |
37274 | We are by nature"dead in trespasses and sins,"and what can a dead man do? |
37274 | We ask, where is the Church''s warrant for calling, making or appointing pastors? |
37274 | We feel we do not value that precious blood as we ought-- who ever did, or ever could? |
37274 | We have the answer in that one pithy statement:"Then went King David in, and sat before the Lord, and said,''Who am I?''" |
37274 | We may be asked,"Where will you find all this down here?" |
37274 | We reply by asking,"Are we to be disobedient because the Church is in ruin? |
37274 | We reply, How do you know that you are a lost sinner? |
37274 | We solemnly challenge thee, in the presence of God, Canst thou look up to Him and say,"I can do nothing-- I am not responsible?" |
37274 | We would put this pointed question to him, which we entreat him to answer, now,"_ Have you got eternal life_?" |
37274 | Well, I understand this; but will any one tell me that a teacher or pastor may not go forth in earnest longing after souls? |
37274 | Well, what was the special character of that work in its earlier stages? |
37274 | Were it not that we have"the law and the testimony,"where should we be? |
37274 | Were they not for the most part"unlearned and ignorant men?" |
37274 | Were they not the servants of the most high God? |
37274 | What are stripes, or stocks, or prison walls, or gloomy nights, to living stones and holy priests? |
37274 | What are we to do? |
37274 | What avails such security? |
37274 | What can be more painful than to hear a man on his knees explaining principles and unfolding doctrines? |
37274 | What do these things declare? |
37274 | What do they utter in the anxious sinner''s ear? |
37274 | What does he want with a pompous ritual, with all its imposing adjuncts? |
37274 | What does he want with a poor, sinful, dying priest, who can not save himself? |
37274 | What does he want with the sacrifice of the mass? |
37274 | What does it really mean? |
37274 | What follows? |
37274 | What grand lesson are we to learn from the scenes on the shores of the Red Sea? |
37274 | What has the Evangelical Alliance effected? |
37274 | What have we to say to these latter? |
37274 | What if both he and I are, by our very vows, made debtors to do the whole law, and thus shut up under its terrible curse? |
37274 | What is faith''s reply to all this? |
37274 | What is it? |
37274 | What is the necessary practical result? |
37274 | What is the real want of their souls? |
37274 | What is the reply? |
37274 | What is the true position of a Christian? |
37274 | What is to be done? |
37274 | What more can we need? |
37274 | What need is there for opening your windows and praying toward Jerusalem, in such a public manner? |
37274 | What power has sin over such an one? |
37274 | What remained for them? |
37274 | What remains? |
37274 | What riches are required to speak a kindly word-- to drop the tear of sympathy-- to give the soothing, genial look? |
37274 | What should we do, what would become of us, were it otherwise? |
37274 | What should we do? |
37274 | What then becomes of all our vows and resolutions? |
37274 | What then had they to do? |
37274 | What then? |
37274 | What then? |
37274 | What think you was the secret of his success? |
37274 | What was the burden of her song, during those"many days"in the which the apostle narrowly considered her case? |
37274 | What was the result? |
37274 | What were they doing? |
37274 | What will a righteous Judge say to them? |
37274 | What will be her end? |
37274 | What would she have said if any one had told her that millions of professing Christians would yet be praying to her? |
37274 | What, then, did he consider? |
37274 | What, then, do we learn from Luke xi? |
37274 | What, then, have we got to do? |
37274 | What, then, saith the Scripture as to the necessary moral conditions of prayer? |
37274 | What, therefore, is the ground of our justification? |
37274 | What, therefore, saith the Scripture? |
37274 | When He His people''s cause defends, Who then shall stay His hand?" |
37274 | When any one was separated, or"cut off,"from the congregation of Israel, was it because of not being an Israelite? |
37274 | Whence, then, these fears, this intense alarm, this agonizing cry? |
37274 | Where are we to put him? |
37274 | Where hast thou learnt it? |
37274 | Where have we an instance in the New Testament of a Church electing its own pastor? |
37274 | Where in Scripture have we such an expression as"the Christian sabbath"? |
37274 | Where is the Timothy or the Titus now? |
37274 | Where is the authority for altering the day or the mode of observing it? |
37274 | Where is the proof of all this? |
37274 | Where is the proof-- where the abiding memorial-- where the stone on the shoulder? |
37274 | Where is the spiritual power to be had for such works? |
37274 | Where is there any repeal of the law as to the sabbath? |
37274 | Where is there the least intimation in the New Testament that there should be a succession of men invested with the power to ordain elders or pastors? |
37274 | Where is this command obeyed? |
37274 | Where is this safe and blessed path? |
37274 | Where must all this end? |
37274 | Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? |
37274 | Which? |
37274 | Whither should we go? |
37274 | Whither, think you, will such a system lead you? |
37274 | Who can encounter the swellings of Jordan? |
37274 | Who can face that grim and terrible foe? |
37274 | Who can measure the heights and the depths of those two words,"rich"and"poor,"in their application to our adorable Lord and Saviour? |
37274 | Who can stand before the king of terrors? |
37274 | Who first announced the good news of the bruised Seed of the woman? |
37274 | Who first preached the gospel? |
37274 | Who in his senses would maintain aught so monstrous? |
37274 | Who is sufficient for these things? |
37274 | Who was the first herald of salvation? |
37274 | Who would accept of it? |
37274 | Who would dare to hush or hinder that cry? |
37274 | Who would lean on an arm of flesh, when he can lean on the arm of the living God? |
37274 | Who would not rather be Daniel in the den than Darius in the palace? |
37274 | Who would think of resting in that which is human when he can have that which is divine? |
37274 | Who would venture upon such a piece of daring blasphemy? |
37274 | Who, except the Ark go first, can face death and judgment? |
37274 | Why a second, if aught could be made of the first? |
37274 | Why add aught thereto? |
37274 | Why are souls not smitten down under the Word? |
37274 | Why be grieved with-- why silence such a witness? |
37274 | Why did he not allow her to continue to bear witness to the object of his mission? |
37274 | Why is there so little gathering- power? |
37274 | Why is this? |
37274 | Why not unanimously and heartily allow Him to take the president''s seat, and bow to Him in all things? |
37274 | Why set up human authority, in any shape or form, in the house of God? |
37274 | Why should an anxious load Press down our weary mind? |
37274 | Why should the regenerated seek to belong to something else than that to which they already belong-- the assembly of God? |
37274 | Why the barrenness of our gospel services? |
37274 | Why the dullness and feebleness in the celebration of that precious feast which ought to stir the very deepest depths of our renewed being? |
37274 | Why then was Paul grieved? |
37274 | Why those barren seasons at the Lord''s table? |
37274 | Why those varied evils on which we have been dwelling, and which are being mourned over almost every where by the truly spiritual? |
37274 | Why was not the church at Ephesus, or why were not the churches at Crete, directed to elect or appoint elders? |
37274 | Why was the direction given to Timothy and Titus without the slightest reference to the Church, or to any part of the Church? |
37274 | Why were they to tarry one for another? |
37274 | Why, we may justly inquire, should it be different now? |
37274 | Why? |
37274 | Why? |
37274 | Why? |
37274 | Why? |
37274 | Will anyone presume to excuse himself for rejecting the gospel message on the ground of his inability to believe it? |
37274 | Will she push away the basin? |
37274 | Will she refuse the gracious ministry? |
37274 | Will she resist it, or yield to it? |
37274 | Would anyone be satisfied to purchase sheep, and then leave them to wander whithersoever they list? |
37274 | Would he not feel it right to lower the standard? |
37274 | Would it be right to pass a house on fire, without giving warning, even though one were not a member of the Fire Brigade? |
37274 | Would it not be better to give just one nod? |
37274 | Would it not lead to all sorts of confusion? |
37274 | Would it not open the door for everyone to intrude himself upon the assembly, quite irrespective of gift or qualification?" |
37274 | Yes, here is the question,"What must I do to be saved?" |
37274 | and in Thy hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand Thee? |
37274 | and rulest not Thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? |
37274 | and what has he got to do? |
37274 | and what is our rule of life? |
37274 | and, under such circumstances, is it not better for each denomination to have their own table? |
37274 | are we to sit down at the table of the Lord with as much indifference as if we were sitting down to an ordinary supper table? |
37274 | are we to yield to the paralyzing power of the atmosphere that inwraps the place? |
37274 | but am I pleasing my Master? |
37274 | but is it like Christ? |
37274 | but,"the anxious reader may say,"what has all this to say to my case? |
37274 | give all up as a myth, a fable, an idle chimera? |
37274 | give up in despair? |
37274 | go back to that from which they once came out? |
37274 | more of the private, earnest, personal dealing with souls? |
37274 | murmuring and complaining? |
37274 | or are you seeking to add something of your own-- your own works, your prayers, your ordinances, your vows and resolutions, your religious duties? |
37274 | or give vent to complaining, murmuring, fretfulness, or irritation? |
37274 | shall we accept salvation as the fruit of our Lord''s death, and deem aught that concerns Him non- essential? |
37274 | these partakers of the rock- life-- the victorious, resurrection- life of Christ-- how did they employ themselves? |
37274 | v. linked eternally with Christ, or not? |
37274 | v.: but what can be higher than"joy in God"? |
37274 | v.? |
37274 | what are the moral conditions which it sets before us? |
37274 | where the many quotations from the Gospels and the Acts?" |
37274 | x.? |
3296 | Is that it? |
3296 | No,they say;"What then? |
3296 | What ails us? |
3296 | What then? 3296 What then?" |
3296 | What will ye say then, O ye gainsayers? 3296 What?" |
3296 | Where art thou now, my tongue? 3296 are they to be esteemed righteous who had many wives at once, and did kill men, and sacrifice living creatures?" |
3296 | is God bounded by a bodily shape, and has hairs and nails? |
3296 | that it was idly said, and without meaning? |
3296 | ( for to such creatures, is this food due;) what is it that feeds thee? |
3296 | A man hath murdered another; why? |
3296 | Again, if he asked had I rather be such as he was, or what I then was? |
3296 | Am I not then myself, O Lord my God? |
3296 | Am I then doubtful of myself in this matter? |
3296 | Ambition, what seeks it, but honours and glory? |
3296 | Ambrose has no leisure; we have no leisure to read; where shall we find even the books? |
3296 | And I am admonished,"Truly the things of God knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God: how then do we also know, what things are given us of God?" |
3296 | And I said,"Is Truth therefore nothing because it is not diffused through space finite or infinite?" |
3296 | And I said,"Lord, is not this Thy Scripture true, since Thou art true, and being Truth, hast set it forth? |
3296 | And I turned myself unto myself, and said to myself,"Who art thou?" |
3296 | And doth not a soul, sighing after such fictions, commit fornication against Thee, trust in things unreal, and feed the wind? |
3296 | And from Thee, O Lord, unto whose eyes the abyss of man''s conscience is naked, what could be hidden in me though I would not confess it? |
3296 | And how have they injured Thee? |
3296 | And how shall I call upon my God, my God and Lord, since, when I call for Him, I shall be calling Him to myself? |
3296 | And how shall I find Thee, if I remember Thee not? |
3296 | And if any should ask me,"How knowest thou?" |
3296 | And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man''s, who shall give you that which is your own? |
3296 | And is this the innocence of boyhood? |
3296 | And is, then one part of Thee greater, another less? |
3296 | And she smiled on me with a persuasive mockery, as would she say,"Canst not thou what these youths, what these maidens can? |
3296 | And that very long one do I measure as present, seeing I measure it not till it be ended? |
3296 | And the prophet cries out, How long, slow of heart? |
3296 | And then mark how he excites himself to lust as by celestial authority:"And what God? |
3296 | And this changeableness, what is it? |
3296 | And to what end? |
3296 | And to what purpose? |
3296 | And what can be unlooked- for by Thee, Who knowest all things? |
3296 | And what could I so ill endure, or, when I detected it, upbraided I so fiercely, as that I was doing to others? |
3296 | And what had I now said, my God, my life, my holy joy? |
3296 | And what have we, that we have not received of Thee? |
3296 | And what is it to have silence there, but to have no sound there? |
3296 | And what is like unto Thy Word, our Lord, who endureth in Himself without becoming old, and maketh all things new? |
3296 | And what is this? |
3296 | And what man can teach man to understand this? |
3296 | And what more monstrous than to affirm things to become better by losing all their good? |
3296 | And what should we more say,"why that substance which God is should not be corruptible,"seeing if it were so, it should not be God? |
3296 | And what was it that I delighted in, but to love, and be loved? |
3296 | And what was it which they suggested in that I said,"this or that,"what did they suggest, O my God? |
3296 | And what, O Lord, was she with so many tears asking of Thee, but that Thou wouldest not suffer me to sail? |
3296 | And what, among all parts of the world can be found nearer to an absolute formlessness, than earth and deep? |
3296 | And when shall I have time to rehearse all Thy great benefits towards us at that time, especially when hasting on to yet greater mercies? |
3296 | And when shall that be? |
3296 | And whence does that present itself, but out of the memory itself? |
3296 | And whence is it that often even in sleep we resist, and mindful of our purpose, and abiding most chastely in it, yield no assent to such enticements? |
3296 | And whence should he be able to do this, unless Thou hadst made that mind? |
3296 | And whence should they be, hadst not Thou appointed them? |
3296 | And where do I recognise it, but in the memory itself? |
3296 | And where shall I find Thee? |
3296 | And where should that be, which it containeth not of itself? |
3296 | And where would have been those her so strong and unceasing prayers, unintermitting to Thee alone? |
3296 | And whither, when the heaven and the earth are filled, pourest Thou forth the remainder of Thyself? |
3296 | And who but Thou could be the workmaster of such wonders? |
3296 | And who denies past things to be now no longer? |
3296 | And who denieth the present time hath no space, because it passeth away in a moment? |
3296 | And who has any right to speak against it, if just punishment follow the sinner? |
3296 | And who is He but our God? |
3296 | And who is he, O Lord, who is not some whit transported beyond the limits of necessity? |
3296 | And who is sufficient for these things? |
3296 | And who is this but our God, the God that made heaven and earth, and filleth them, because by filling them He created them? |
3296 | And who leaveth Thee, whither goeth or whither fleeth he, but from Thee well- pleased, to Thee displeased? |
3296 | And who there knew him not? |
3296 | And whose but Thine were these words which by my mother, Thy faithful one, Thou sangest in my ears? |
3296 | And why seek I now in what place thereof Thou dwellest, as if there were places therein? |
3296 | And yet whence was this too, but from the sin and vanity of this life, because I was flesh, and a breath that passeth away and cometh not again? |
3296 | And, not indeed in these words, yet to this purpose, spake I much unto Thee: and Thou, O Lord, how long? |
3296 | Anger seeks revenge: who revenges more justly than Thou? |
3296 | Are an hundred years, when present, a long time? |
3296 | Are griefs then too loved? |
3296 | Are these things false?" |
3296 | Are we ashamed to follow, because others are gone before, and not ashamed not even to follow?" |
3296 | As if He had been in place, Who is not in place, of Whom only it is written, that He is Thy gift? |
3296 | As then we remember joy? |
3296 | As we remember eloquence then? |
3296 | As we remember numbers then? |
3296 | BOOK VI O Thou, my hope from my youth, where wert Thou to me, and whither wert Thou gone? |
3296 | BOOK XI Lord, since eternity is Thine, art Thou ignorant of what I say to Thee? |
3296 | Because none doth ordinarily laugh alone? |
3296 | Before them what more foul than I was already, displeasing even such as myself? |
3296 | Behold, I too say, O my God, Where art Thou? |
3296 | But I would not be asked,"Why then doth God err?" |
3296 | But Thou who fillest all things, fillest Thou them with Thy whole self? |
3296 | But again I said, Who made me? |
3296 | But art thou any thing, that thus I speak to thee? |
3296 | But didst Thou fail me even by that old man, or forbear to heal my soul? |
3296 | But do I depart any whither? |
3296 | But do I perceive it, or seem to perceive it? |
3296 | But for what fruit would they hear this? |
3296 | But hast not Thou, O most merciful Lord, pardoned and remitted this sin also, with my other most horrible and deadly sins, in the holy water? |
3296 | But how didst Thou make the heaven and the earth? |
3296 | But how didst Thou speak? |
3296 | But how dost Thou make them? |
3296 | But how is that future diminished or consumed, which as yet is not? |
3296 | But how know we this? |
3296 | But if before heaven and earth there was no time, why is it demanded, what Thou then didst? |
3296 | But if the will of God has been from eternity that the creature should be, why was not the creature also from eternity?" |
3296 | But in these things is no place of repose; they abide not, they flee; and who can follow them with the senses of the flesh? |
3296 | But in what sense is that long or short, which is not? |
3296 | But is it also in grief for a thing lost, and the sorrow wherewith I was then overwhelmed? |
3296 | But is it so, as one remembers Carthage who hath seen it? |
3296 | But now when I hear that there be three kinds of questions,"Whether the thing be? |
3296 | But should any ask me, had I rather be merry or fearful? |
3296 | But time present how do we measure, seeing it hath no space? |
3296 | But was not either the Father, or the Son, borne above the waters? |
3296 | But we measure times as they are passing, by perceiving them; but past, which now are not, or the future, which are not yet, who can measure? |
3296 | But what availed the utmost neatness of the cup- bearer to my thirst for a more precious draught? |
3296 | But what did this further me, imagining that Thou, O Lord God, the Truth, wert a vast and bright body, and I a fragment of that body? |
3296 | But what do I love, when I love Thee? |
3296 | But what foul offences can there be against Thee, who canst not be defiled? |
3296 | But what in discourse do we mention more familiarly and knowingly, than time? |
3296 | But what is forgetfulness, but the privation of memory? |
3296 | But what is nearer to me than myself? |
3296 | But what is this, and what kind of mystery? |
3296 | But what pain? |
3296 | But what prouder, than for me with a strange madness to maintain myself to be that by nature which Thou art? |
3296 | But what sort of compassion is this for feigned and scenical passions? |
3296 | But what sort of man is any man, seeing he is but a man? |
3296 | But what speak I of these things? |
3296 | But what when the memory itself loses any thing, as falls out when we forget and seek that we may recollect? |
3296 | But when it was present, how did it write its image in the memory, seeing that forgetfulness by its presence effaces even what it finds already noted? |
3296 | But when then pay we court to our great friends, whose favour we need? |
3296 | But whence had it this degree of being, but from Thee, from Whom are all things, so far forth as they are? |
3296 | But whence should I know, whether he spake truth? |
3296 | But whence, by what way, and whither passes it while it is a measuring? |
3296 | But where in my memory residest Thou, O Lord, where residest Thou there? |
3296 | But where shall it be sought or when? |
3296 | But where was I, when I was seeking Thee? |
3296 | But wherefore was it not meet that the knowledge of Him should be conveyed otherwise, than as being borne above? |
3296 | But whether by images or no, who can readily say? |
3296 | But whither ascend ye, when ye are on high, and set your mouth against the heavens? |
3296 | But whither goes that vein? |
3296 | But who shall cleanse it? |
3296 | But whosoever reckons up his real merits to Thee, what reckons he up to Thee but Thine own gifts? |
3296 | But why did I so much hate the Greek, which I studied as a boy? |
3296 | But why doth"truth generate hatred,"and the man of Thine, preaching the truth, become an enemy to them? |
3296 | But yet what was it? |
3296 | But yet who bade that Manichaeus write on these things also, skill in which was no element of piety? |
3296 | But yet, O my God, Who madest us, what comparison is there betwixt that honour that I paid to her, and her slavery for me? |
3296 | By remembrance, as though I had forgotten it, remembering that I had forgotten it? |
3296 | By what Word then didst Thou speak, that a body might be made, whereby these words again might be made? |
3296 | By what way dost Thou, to whom nothing is to come, teach things to come; or rather of the future, dost teach things present? |
3296 | By which of these ought I to seek my God? |
3296 | Can it at any time or place be unjust to love God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind; and his neighbour as himself? |
3296 | Can my hand do this, or the hand of my mouth by speech bring about a thing so great? |
3296 | Can our hopes in court rise higher than to be the Emperor''s favourites? |
3296 | Could it be measured the rather, for that? |
3296 | Did not I read in thee of Jove the thunderer and the adulterer? |
3296 | Did not my God, Who is not only good, but goodness itself? |
3296 | Did the whole tumult of my soul, for which neither time nor utterance sufficed, reach them? |
3296 | Didst Thou then indeed hold Thy peace to me? |
3296 | Do I then love in a man, what I hate to be, who am a man? |
3296 | Do I then measure, O my God, and know not what I measure? |
3296 | Do not divers wills distract the mind, while he deliberates which he should rather choose? |
3296 | Do the heaven and earth then contain Thee, since Thou fillest them? |
3296 | Do they desire to joy with me, when they hear how near, by Thy gift, I approach unto Thee? |
3296 | Does not my soul most truly confess unto Thee, that I do measure times? |
3296 | Does the memory perchance not belong to the mind? |
3296 | Dost Thou bid me assent, if any define time to be"motion of a body?" |
3296 | Dost Thou mock me for asking this, and bid me praise Thee and acknowledge Thee, for that I do know? |
3296 | Doth then, O Lord God of truth, whoso knoweth these things, therefore please Thee? |
3296 | Doth this sweeten it, that we hope Thou hearest? |
3296 | Envy disputes for excellency: what more excellent than Thou? |
3296 | Even now, after the descent of Life to you, will ye not ascend and live? |
3296 | For I ask any one, had he rather joy in truth, or in falsehood? |
3296 | For I ask them, is it good to take pleasure in reading the Apostle? |
3296 | For had I then parted hence, whither had I departed, but into fire and torments, such as my misdeeds deserved in the truth of Thy appointment? |
3296 | For had there been light, where should it have been but by being over all, aloft, and enlightening? |
3296 | For his presence did not lessen my privacy; or how could he forsake me so disturbed? |
3296 | For how much better are the fables of poets and grammarians than these snares? |
3296 | For how should He, by the crucifixion of a phantasm, which I believed Him to be? |
3296 | For how should there be a blessed life where life itself is not? |
3296 | For if He made, what did He make but a creature? |
3296 | For if Thine ears be not with us in the depths also, whither shall we go? |
3296 | For if they be comprised in this word earth; how then can formless matter be meant in that name of earth, when we see the waters so beautiful? |
3296 | For if( say they) He were unemployed and wrought not, why does He not also henceforth, and for ever, as He did heretofore? |
3296 | For that past time which was long, was it long when it was now past, or when it was yet present? |
3296 | For then I ask myself how much more or less troublesome it is to me not to have them? |
3296 | For what am I to myself without Thee, but a guide to mine own downfall? |
3296 | For what did heaven and earth, which Thou madest in the Beginning, deserve of Thee? |
3296 | For what else is it to feed the wind, but to feed them, that is by going astray to become their pleasure and derision? |
3296 | For what is it to hear from Thee of themselves, but to know themselves? |
3296 | For what is nearer to Thine ears than a confessing heart, and a life of faith? |
3296 | For what is time? |
3296 | For what is, but because Thou art? |
3296 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man, which is in him? |
3296 | For what mortal can? |
3296 | For what other place is there for such a soul? |
3296 | For what pleasure hath it, to see in a mangled carcase what will make you shudder? |
3296 | For what profited me good abilities, not employed to good uses? |
3296 | For what shall I say, when it is clear to me that I remember forgetfulness? |
3296 | For what thief will abide a thief? |
3296 | For what would I say, O Lord my God, but that I know not whence I came into this dying life( shall I call it?) |
3296 | For what, I beseech Thee, O my God, do I measure, when I say, either indefinitely"this is a longer time than that,"or definitely"this is double that"? |
3296 | For when a body is moved, I by time measure, how long it moveth, from the time it began to move until it left off? |
3296 | For when it was found, whence should she know whether it were the same, unless she remembered it? |
3296 | For whence could innumerable ages pass by, which Thou madest not, Thou the Author and Creator of all ages? |
3296 | For whence else is this hesitation between conflicting wills? |
3296 | For whence shouldest Thou have this, which Thou hadst not made, thereof to make any thing? |
3296 | For where did they, who foretold things to come, see them, if as yet they be not? |
3296 | For where doth he not find Thy law in his own punishment? |
3296 | For where was that charity building upon the foundation of humility, which is Christ Jesus? |
3296 | For whither fled they, when they fled from Thy presence? |
3296 | For whither should my heart flee from my heart? |
3296 | For who discerneth us, but Thou? |
3296 | For who is Lord but the Lord? |
3296 | For who would willingly speak thereof, if so oft as we name grief or fear, we should be compelled to be sad or fearful? |
3296 | For why should not the motions of all bodies rather be times? |
3296 | For with a wounded heart have I beheld Thy brightness, and stricken back I said,"Who can attain thither? |
3296 | For, what was that which was thence through my tongue distilled into the ears of my most familiar friends? |
3296 | Grant me, Lord, to know and understand which is first, to call on Thee or to praise Thee? |
3296 | Had He no might to turn and change the whole, so that no evil should remain in it, seeing He is All- mighty? |
3296 | Hadst not Thou created me, and separated me from the beasts of the field, and fowls of the air? |
3296 | Hast Thou, although present every where, cast away our misery far from Thee? |
3296 | Hast not Thou, O Lord, taught his soul, which confesseth unto Thee? |
3296 | Have I not confessed against myself my transgressions unto Thee, and Thou, my God, hast forgiven the iniquity of my heart? |
3296 | He cries out, How long? |
3296 | Heal Thou all my bones, and let them say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee? |
3296 | How can I say that the image of forgetfulness is retained by my memory, not forgetfulness itself, when I remember it? |
3296 | How did I burn then, my God, how did I burn to re- mount from earthly things to Thee, nor knew I what Thou wouldest do with me? |
3296 | How did corporeal matter deserve of Thee, to be even invisible and without form? |
3296 | How did they deserve of Thee, to be even without form, since they had not been even this, but from Thee? |
3296 | How may it then be measured? |
3296 | How seek I it? |
3296 | How then do I seek Thee, O Lord? |
3296 | How then do I seek a happy life, seeing I have it not, until I can say, where I ought to say it,"It is enough"? |
3296 | How then is it present that I remember it, since when present I can not remember? |
3296 | How then know I this, seeing I know not what time is? |
3296 | How then should it be called, that it might be in some measure conveyed to those of duller mind, but by some ordinary word? |
3296 | I beseech Thee, my God, I would fain know, if so Thou willest, for what purpose my baptism was then deferred? |
3296 | I exclaim:"what is it? |
3296 | I loved then in it also the company of the accomplices, with whom I did it? |
3296 | I measure the motion of a body in time; and the time itself do I not measure? |
3296 | I remember to have sought and found many a thing; and this I thereby know, that when I was seeking any of them, and was asked,"Is this it?" |
3296 | I sent up these sorrowful words: How long, how long,"to- morrow, and tomorrow?" |
3296 | I should choose to be myself, though worn with cares and fears; but out of wrong judgment; for, was it the truth? |
3296 | I should have desired verily, had I then been Moses( for we all come from the same lump, and what is man, saving that Thou art mindful of him? |
3296 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
3296 | If in my praise I am moved with the good of my neighbour, why am I less moved if another be unjustly dispraised than if it be myself? |
3296 | If not, why does it still echo in our ears on all sides,"Let him alone, let him do as he will, for he is not yet baptised?" |
3296 | If the devil were the author, whence is that same devil? |
3296 | If, again, I should ask which might be forgotten with least detriment to the concerns of life, reading and writing or these poetic fictions? |
3296 | In so small a creature, what was not wonderful, not admirable? |
3296 | In the future, whence it passeth through? |
3296 | In the way that the voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son? |
3296 | In what space then do we measure time passing? |
3296 | Is it also present to itself by its image, and not by itself? |
3296 | Is it body? |
3296 | Is it clasped up with the eyes? |
3296 | Is it false, that every nature already formed, or matter capable of form, is not, but from Him Who is supremely good, because He is supremely?" |
3296 | Is it not thus, as I recall it, O Lord my God, Thou judge of my conscience? |
3296 | Is it soul? |
3296 | Is it that the matter was without form, in which because there was no form, there was no order? |
3296 | Is it that which constituteth soul or body? |
3296 | Is it then a slight woe to love Thee not? |
3296 | Is it to come? |
3296 | Is it without it, and not within? |
3296 | Is justice therefore various or mutable? |
3296 | Is not the life of man upon earth all trial: without any interval? |
3296 | Is not the life of man upon earth all trial? |
3296 | Is not this corporeal figure apparent to all whose senses are perfect? |
3296 | Is the comparison unlike in this, because not in all respects like? |
3296 | Is the thing different, because they are but small creatures? |
3296 | Is this their allotted measure? |
3296 | Know I not this also? |
3296 | Known therefore it is to all, for they with one voice be asked,"would they be happy?" |
3296 | Lastly, why would He make any thing at all of it, and not rather by the same All- mightiness cause it not to be at all? |
3296 | Let him also rejoice and say, What thing is this? |
3296 | Let my bones be bedewed with Thy love, and let them say unto Thee, Who is like unto Thee, O Lord? |
3296 | Let my heart and my tongue praise Thee; yea, let all my bones say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee? |
3296 | Life is vain, death uncertain; if it steals upon us on a sudden, in what state shall we depart hence? |
3296 | Lo, are they not full of their old leaven, who say to us,"What was God doing before He made heaven and earth? |
3296 | May I learn from Thee, who art Truth, and approach the ear of my heart unto Thy mouth, that Thou mayest tell me why weeping is sweet to the miserable? |
3296 | My God hath done this for me more abundantly, that I should now see thee withal, despising earthly happiness, become His servant: what do I here?" |
3296 | My God, my Mercy, with how much gall didst Thou out of Thy great goodness besprinkle for me that sweetness? |
3296 | My life being such, was it life, O my God? |
3296 | No man sings there, Shall not my soul be submitted unto God? |
3296 | Nor did that depart,--(for whither went it?) |
3296 | Notwithstanding, in how many most petty and contemptible things is our curiosity daily tempted, and how often we give way, who can recount? |
3296 | O my Lord, my Light, shall not here also Thy Truth mock at man? |
3296 | O ye sons of men, how long so slow of heart? |
3296 | Oh that they were wearied out with their famine, and said, Who will show us good things? |
3296 | One is commended, and, unseen, he is loved: doth this love enter the heart of the hearer from the mouth of the commender? |
3296 | Or hath it no being? |
3296 | Or how shall we obtain salvation, but from Thy hand, re- making what it made? |
3296 | Or if it were from eternity, why suffered He it so to be for infinite spaces of times past, and was pleased so long after to make something out of it? |
3296 | Or in the present, by which it passes? |
3296 | Or is weeping indeed a bitter thing, and for very loathing of the things which we before enjoyed, does it then, when we shrink from them, please us? |
3296 | Or was it then good, even for a while, to cry for what, if given, would hurt? |
3296 | Or what am I to Thee that Thou demandest my love, and, if I give it not, art wroth with me, and threatenest me with grievous woes? |
3296 | Or where but with Thee is unshaken safety? |
3296 | Or whereas no man likes to be miserable, is he yet pleased to be merciful? |
3296 | Or who, except Thou, our God, made for us that firmament of authority over us in Thy Divine Scripture? |
3296 | Or, could it then be against His will? |
3296 | Or, desiring to learn it as a thing unknown, either never having known, or so forgotten it, as not even to remember that I had forgotten it? |
3296 | Or, is it rather, that we call on Thee that we may know Thee? |
3296 | Or, should there in our words be some syllables short, others long, but because those sounded in a shorter time, these in a longer? |
3296 | Or, was there some evil matter of which He made, and formed, and ordered it, yet left something in it which He did not convert into good? |
3296 | Or, while we were saying this, should we not also be speaking in time? |
3296 | Or,"How came it into His mind to make any thing, having never before made any thing?" |
3296 | Rejoiceth he for that? |
3296 | Say, Lord, to me, Thy suppliant; say, all- pitying, to me, Thy pitiable one; say, did my infancy succeed another age of mine that died before it? |
3296 | See, I answer him that asketh,"What did God before He made heaven and earth?" |
3296 | See, it is no great matter now to obtain some station, and then what should we more wish for? |
3296 | Seeing then Thou art the Creator of all times, if any time was before Thou madest heaven and earth, why say they that Thou didst forego working? |
3296 | Shall I say that that is not in my memory, which I remember? |
3296 | Shall any be his own artificer? |
3296 | Shall compassion then be put away? |
3296 | Since, then, I too exist, why do I seek that Thou shouldest enter into me, who were not, wert Thou not in me? |
3296 | The cruelty of the great would fain be feared; but who is to be feared but God alone, out of whose power what can be wrested or withdrawn? |
3296 | The forenoons our scholars take up; what do we during the rest? |
3296 | The heaven of heavens are the Lord''s; but the earth hath He given to the children of men? |
3296 | The other, in banter, replied,"Do walls then make Christians?" |
3296 | Therefore I contend not in judgment with Thee; for if Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall abide it? |
3296 | Therefore didst Thou command it to be written, that darkness was upon the face of the deep; what else than the absence of light? |
3296 | These be Thine own promises: and who need fear to be deceived, when the Truth promiseth? |
3296 | These things being safe and immovably settled in my mind, I sought anxiously"whence was evil?" |
3296 | This same time then, how do I measure? |
3296 | This then that He is said"never to have made"; what else is it to say, than"in''no time''to have made?" |
3296 | Those two times then, past and to come, how are they, seeing the past now is not, and that to come is not yet? |
3296 | Thou receivest over and above, that Thou mayest owe; and who hath aught that is not Thine? |
3296 | Thou then, Ruler of Thy creation, by what way dost Thou teach souls things to come? |
3296 | Thou, by whose gift she was such? |
3296 | Times passing, not past? |
3296 | To Thy grace I ascribe also whatsoever I have not done of evil; for what might I not have done, who even loved a sin for its own sake? |
3296 | To what end then would ye still and still walk these difficult and toilsome ways? |
3296 | To whom shall I speak this? |
3296 | To whom tell I this? |
3296 | To wish, namely, to be feared and loved of men, for no other end, but that we may have a joy therein which is no joy? |
3296 | Unto it speaks my faith which Thou hast kindled to enlighten my feet in the night, Why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou trouble me? |
3296 | Was it for his own necessities, because he said, Ye sent unto my necessity? |
3296 | We hold the promise, who shall make it null? |
3296 | What am I then, O my God? |
3296 | What art Thou then, my God? |
3296 | What art Thou to me? |
3296 | What can be more, and yet what less like? |
3296 | What did all this further me, seeing it even hindered me? |
3296 | What diddest Thou then, my God, and how unsearchable is the abyss of Thy judgments? |
3296 | What evil have not been either my deeds, or if not my deeds, my words, or if not my words, my will? |
3296 | What glory, Lord? |
3296 | What greater madness can be said or thought of? |
3296 | What is it that attracts and wins us to the things we love? |
3296 | What is it to me, O my true life, my God, that my declamation was applauded above so many of my own age and class? |
3296 | What is it to me, though any comprehend not this? |
3296 | What is it which hath come into my mind to enquire, and discuss, and consider? |
3296 | What is its root, and what its seed? |
3296 | What is that which gleams through me, and strikes my heart without hurting it; and I shudder and kindle? |
3296 | What is this but a miserable madness? |
3296 | What is worthy of dispraise but vice? |
3296 | What is, in truth? |
3296 | What marvel that an unhappy sheep, straying from Thy flock, and impatient of Thy keeping, I became infected with a foul disease? |
3296 | What means this, O Lord my God, whereas Thou art everlastingly joy to Thyself, and some things around Thee evermore rejoice in Thee? |
3296 | What means this, that this portion of things thus ebbs and flows alternately displeased and reconciled? |
3296 | What middle place is there betwixt these two, where the life of man is not all trial? |
3296 | What nature am I? |
3296 | What said I not against myself? |
3296 | What sayest Thou to me? |
3296 | What shall I do then, O Thou my true life, my God? |
3296 | What shall I render unto the Lord, that, whilst my memory recalls these things, my soul is not affrighted at them? |
3296 | What shall wretched man do? |
3296 | What strength of ours, yea what ages would suffice for all Thy books in this manner? |
3296 | What then could they be more truly called than"Subverters"? |
3296 | What then did I love in that theft? |
3296 | What then did wretched I so love in thee, thou theft of mine, thou deed of darkness, in that sixteenth year of my age? |
3296 | What then do I confess unto Thee in this kind of temptation, O Lord? |
3296 | What then do I love, when I love my God? |
3296 | What then do I measure? |
3296 | What then if all give equal pleasure, and all at once? |
3296 | What then if one of us should deliberate, and amid the strife of his two wills be in a strait, whether he should go to the theatre or to our church? |
3296 | What then is it I measure? |
3296 | What then is the beautiful? |
3296 | What then is time? |
3296 | What then shall I say, O Truth my Light? |
3296 | What then takes place in the soul, when it is more delighted at finding or recovering the things it loves, than if it had ever had them? |
3296 | What then was my sin? |
3296 | What then was this feeling? |
3296 | What third way is there? |
3296 | What when we measure silence, and say that this silence hath held as long time as did that voice? |
3296 | What wilt thou answer me? |
3296 | What, but that I am delighted with praise, but with truth itself, more than with praise? |
3296 | What, if death itself cut off and end all care and feeling? |
3296 | What, when I name forgetfulness, and withal recognise what I name? |
3296 | What, when sitting at home, a lizard catching flies, or a spider entangling them rushing into her nets, oft- times takes my attention? |
3296 | When compose what we may sell to scholars? |
3296 | When refresh ourselves, unbending our minds from this intenseness of care? |
3296 | When shall I recall all which passed in those holy- days? |
3296 | When therefore will it be? |
3296 | When we shall all rise again, though we shall not all be changed? |
3296 | Whence and how entered these things into my memory? |
3296 | Whence and whither hast Thou thus led my remembrance, that I should confess these things also unto Thee? |
3296 | Whence could such a being be, save from Thee, Lord? |
3296 | Whence is evil? |
3296 | Whence is it then? |
3296 | Whence is this monstrousness? |
3296 | Whence is this monstrousness? |
3296 | Whence it seemed to me, that time is nothing else than protraction; but of what, I know not; and I marvel, if it be not of the mind itself? |
3296 | Whence then came I to will evil and nill good, so that I am thus justly punished? |
3296 | Whence then is sweet fruit gathered from the bitterness of life, from groaning, tears, sighs, and complaints? |
3296 | Whence then so many thorns, if the earth be fruitful? |
3296 | Whence this monstrousness? |
3296 | Whence was this, but that Thine ears were towards her heart? |
3296 | Whence, or when procure them? |
3296 | Where in the end do we search, but in the memory itself? |
3296 | Where is evil then, and whence, and how crept it in hither? |
3296 | Where is reason then, which, awake, resisteth such suggestions? |
3296 | Where is that heaven which we see not, to which all this which we see is earth? |
3296 | Where now are the impulses to such various and divers kinds of loves laid up in one soul? |
3296 | Where then and when did I experience my happy life, that I should remember, and love, and long for it? |
3296 | Where then did I find Thee, that I might learn Thee, but in Thee above me? |
3296 | Where then did I find Thee, that I might learn Thee? |
3296 | Where then did they know this happy life, save where they know the truth also? |
3296 | Where then is the time, which we may call long? |
3296 | Where then light was not, what was the presence of darkness, but the absence of light? |
3296 | Where then wert Thou then to me, and how far from me? |
3296 | Where then? |
3296 | Where was then that discreet old woman, and that her earnest countermanding? |
3296 | Whereat then rejoicest thou, O great Paul? |
3296 | Wherefore delay then to abandon worldly hopes, and give ourselves wholly to seek after God and the blessed life? |
3296 | Which images, how they are formed, who can tell, though it doth plainly appear by which sense each hath been brought in and stored up? |
3296 | Which of us comprehendeth the Almighty Trinity? |
3296 | Which way, but through the present? |
3296 | Whither do I call Thee, since I am in Thee? |
3296 | Whither go ye in rough ways? |
3296 | Whither go ye? |
3296 | Whither not follow myself? |
3296 | Whither should I flee from myself? |
3296 | Who am I, and what am I? |
3296 | Who can disentangle that twisted and intricate knottiness? |
3296 | Who can even in thought comprehend it, so as to utter a word about it? |
3296 | Who can readily and briefly explain this? |
3296 | Who can recount all Thy praises, which he hath felt in his one self? |
3296 | Who can understand his errors? |
3296 | Who declare it? |
3296 | Who gathered the embittered together into one society? |
3296 | Who knows not this? |
3296 | Who now shall search out this? |
3296 | Who now teacheth us, but the unchangeable Truth? |
3296 | Who remindeth me of the sins of my infancy? |
3296 | Who remindeth me? |
3296 | Who repay Him the price wherewith He bought us, and so take us from Him? |
3296 | Who shall comprehend? |
3296 | Who shall restore to Him the innocent blood? |
3296 | Who shall stand against thee? |
3296 | Who then should deliver me thus wretched from the body of this death, but Thy grace only, through Jesus Christ our Lord? |
3296 | Who therefore denieth, that things to come are not as yet? |
3296 | Who will say so? |
3296 | Who wishes for troubles and difficulties? |
3296 | Who, Lord, but Thou, saidst, Let the waters be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear, which thirsteth after Thee? |
3296 | Whom could I find to reconcile me to Thee? |
3296 | Whom shall I enquire of concerning these things? |
3296 | Whom so soon as Alypius remembered, he told the architect: and he showing the hatchet to the boy, asked him"Whose that was?" |
3296 | Why am I more stung by reproach cast upon myself, than at that cast upon another, with the same injustice, before me? |
3296 | Why is it, that man desires to be made sad, beholding doleful and tragical things, which yet himself would no means suffer? |
3296 | Why not now? |
3296 | Why not this? |
3296 | Why say more? |
3296 | Why seek they to hear from me what I am; who will not hear from Thee what themselves are? |
3296 | Why should he trouble me, as if I could enlighten any man that cometh into this world? |
3296 | Why so then? |
3296 | Why standest thou in thyself, and so standest not? |
3296 | Why that? |
3296 | Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? |
3296 | Why then did I hate the Greek classics, which have the like tales? |
3296 | Why then do I lay in order before Thee so many relations? |
3296 | Why then does not the disputer, thus recollecting, taste in the mouth of his musing the sweetness of joy, or the bitterness of sorrow? |
3296 | Why then fear we and avoid what is not? |
3296 | Why then is this said of Thy Spirit only, why is it said only of Him? |
3296 | Why then joy they not in it? |
3296 | Why then was my delight of such sort that I did it not alone? |
3296 | Why, I beseech Thee, O Lord my God? |
3296 | Why, since we are equally men, do I love in another what, if I did not hate, I should not spurn and cast from myself? |
3296 | Why? |
3296 | Wilt Thou hold Thy peace for ever? |
3296 | Would any commit murder upon no cause, delighted simply in murdering? |
3296 | Would aught avail against a secret disease, if Thy healing hand, O Lord, watched not over us? |
3296 | Yea, and if I knew this also, should I know it from him? |
3296 | Yea, sloth would fain be at rest; but what stable rest besides the Lord? |
3296 | Yet what do we measure, if not time in some space? |
3296 | and all at once the same part? |
3296 | and by how many perils arrive we at a greater peril? |
3296 | and dare I say that Thou heldest Thy peace, O my God, while I wandered further from Thee? |
3296 | and from that moment shall not this or that be lawful for thee for ever?" |
3296 | and from that moment shall we no more be with thee for ever? |
3296 | and in this, what is there not brittle, and full of perils? |
3296 | and shall we not rather suffer the punishment of this negligence? |
3296 | and to pray for me, when they shall hear how much I am held back by my own weight? |
3296 | and to what end? |
3296 | and to what end? |
3296 | and to what end? |
3296 | and was there nothing else whereon to exercise my wit and tongue? |
3296 | and what Thy days, but Thy eternity, as Thy years which fail not, because Thou art ever the same? |
3296 | and what before that life again, O God my joy, was I any where or any body? |
3296 | and what else did he who beat me? |
3296 | and what is beauty? |
3296 | and what room is there within me, whither my God can come into me? |
3296 | and what the engine of Thy so mighty fabric? |
3296 | and when arrive we thither? |
3296 | and where shall we learn what here we have neglected? |
3296 | and wherein did I even corruptly and pervertedly imitate my Lord? |
3296 | and who knoweth and saith,"It is false,"unless himself lieth? |
3296 | and yet which speaks not of It, if indeed it be It? |
3296 | and, again, to know Thee or to call on Thee? |
3296 | bitterly to resent, that persons free, and its own elders, yea, the very authors of its birth, served it not? |
3296 | but how shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? |
3296 | but no space, we do not measure: or in the past, to which it passes? |
3296 | by what prayers? |
3296 | by what sacraments? |
3296 | could I like what I might not, only because I might not? |
3296 | do then heaven and earth, which Thou hast made, and wherein Thou hast made me, contain Thee? |
3296 | do we by a shorter time measure a longer, as by the space of a cubit, the space of a rood? |
3296 | doth not each little infant, in whom I see what of myself I remember not? |
3296 | for of that I have heard somewhat, and have myself seen women with child? |
3296 | for who can call on Thee, not knowing Thee? |
3296 | from whom borrow them? |
3296 | how didst Thou cure her? |
3296 | how heal her? |
3296 | how long roll the sons of Eve into that huge and hideous ocean, which even they scarcely overpass who climb the cross? |
3296 | how long shalt thou not be dried up? |
3296 | how long, Lord, wilt Thou be angry for ever? |
3296 | how speak it? |
3296 | how speak of the weight of evil desires, downwards to the steep abyss; and how charity raises up again by Thy Spirit which was borne above the waters? |
3296 | how then doth it not comprehend itself? |
3296 | how, O God, didst Thou make heaven and earth? |
3296 | if she now seeks of Thee one thing, and desireth it, that she may dwell in Thy house all the days of her life( and what is her life, but Thou? |
3296 | in those things, of the remembrance whereof I am now ashamed? |
3296 | is it lulled asleep with the senses of the body? |
3296 | is not a happy life what all will, and no one altogether wills it not? |
3296 | is not all this smoke and wind? |
3296 | is there, indeed, O Lord my God, aught in me that can contain Thee? |
3296 | of what kind it is?" |
3296 | or can there elsewhere be derived any vein, which may stream essence and life into us, save from thee, O Lord, in whom essence and life are one? |
3296 | or can they either in themselves, and not rather in the Lord their God? |
3296 | or dost Thou fill them and yet overflow, since they do not contain Thee? |
3296 | or dost Thou see in time, what passeth in time? |
3296 | or each its own part, the greater more, the smaller less? |
3296 | or good to discourse on the Gospel? |
3296 | or good to take pleasure in a sober Psalm? |
3296 | or hast Thou no need that aught contain Thee, who containest all things, since what Thou fillest Thou fillest by containing it? |
3296 | or how have they disgraced Thy government, which, from the heaven to this lowest earth, is just and perfect? |
3296 | or how shall they believe without a preacher? |
3296 | or how should they pass by, if they never were? |
3296 | or how that past increased, which is now no longer, save that in the mind which enacteth this, there be three things done? |
3296 | or how went it away? |
3296 | or is it at last that I deceive myself, and do not the truth before Thee in my heart and tongue? |
3296 | or is it perchance that I know not how to express what I know? |
3296 | or shall I say that forgetfulness is for this purpose in my memory, that I might not forget? |
3296 | or to whom should I cry, save Thee? |
3296 | or was it not laid loose? |
3296 | or what Angel, a man? |
3296 | or what Angel, an Angel? |
3296 | or what acts of violence against Thee, who canst not be harmed? |
3296 | or what am I even at the best, but an infant sucking the milk Thou givest, and feeding upon Thee, the food that perisheth not? |
3296 | or what saith any man when he speaks of Thee? |
3296 | or what times should there be, which were not made by Thee? |
3296 | or when should these books teach me it? |
3296 | or whence canst Thou enter into me? |
3296 | or where dost not Thou find them? |
3296 | or who is God save our God? |
3296 | or, art Thou wholly every where, while nothing contains Thee wholly? |
3296 | or, because nothing which exists could exist without Thee, doth therefore whatever exists contain Thee? |
3296 | or, since all things can not contain Thee wholly, do they contain part of Thee? |
3296 | that many besides, wiser than it, obeyed not the nod of its good pleasure? |
3296 | that period I pass by; and what have I now to do with that, of which I can recall no vestige? |
3296 | to do its best to strike and hurt, because commands were not obeyed, which had been obeyed to its hurt? |
3296 | to whom shall I speak it? |
3296 | was I to have recourse to Angels? |
3296 | was it for my good that the rein was laid loose, as it were, upon me, for me to sin? |
3296 | was it that I hung upon the breast and cried? |
3296 | was it that which I spent within my mother''s womb? |
3296 | what aim we at? |
3296 | what heardest thou? |
3296 | what it is? |
3296 | what manner of lodging hast Thou framed for Thee? |
3296 | what manner of sanctuary hast Thou builded for Thee? |
3296 | what serve we for? |
3296 | what, but the Lord God? |
3296 | when, or where, or whither, or by whom? |
3296 | whence should I recognise it, did I not remember it? |
3296 | whence, but from the future? |
3296 | where have they known it, that they so will it? |
3296 | where is the short syllable by which I measure? |
3296 | where seen it, that they so love it? |
3296 | where the long which I measure? |
3296 | whereat rejoicest thou? |
3296 | which because it can not be without passion, for this reason alone are passions loved? |
3296 | whither can God come into me, God who made heaven and earth? |
3296 | whither cry? |
3296 | whither flows it? |
3296 | whither, but into the past? |
3296 | who can teach me, save He that enlighteneth my heart, and discovereth its dark corners? |
3296 | who could any ways express it? |
3296 | who does not foresee what all must answer who have not wholly forgotten themselves? |
3296 | who ever sounded the bottom thereof? |
3296 | who is He above the head of my soul? |
3296 | who set this in me, and ingrafted into me this plant of bitterness, seeing I was wholly formed by my most sweet God? |
3296 | who shall comprehend how it is? |
3296 | who would believe it? |
3296 | who would, any way, pronounce thereon rashly? |
3296 | who, if worsted in some trifling discussion with his fellow- tutor, was more embittered and jealous than I when beaten at ball by a play- fellow? |
3296 | why are they not happy? |
3296 | why do ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? |
3296 | why do ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? |
3296 | why not is there this hour an end to my uncleanness? |
3296 | why then speaks it not the same to all? |
3296 | would not these Manichees also be in a strait what to answer? |
3296 | yea, who can grasp them, when they are hard by? |
5831 | All my desire,says David,"is all my salvation;"so sayest thou,"All my salvation is all my desire?" |
5831 | And how did his good wife take it when she saw that he had no amendment, but that he returned to his old courses again? |
5831 | And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? |
5831 | And will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? |
5831 | Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them that shall be heirs of salvation? |
5831 | Bless me,saith such a servant,"are these the religious people? |
5831 | But canst thou not repent and turn? |
5831 | But did you not,said he,"when you were at a stand, pluck out and read your note?" |
5831 | But how earnest thou in this condition? |
5831 | Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? 5831 Can such a one as I am live in glory? |
5831 | Cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? |
5831 | For what did you bring yourself into this condition? |
5831 | For what is our hope, our joy, our crown of rejoicing? 5831 Have I been so long time with you,"saith Christ,"and hast thou not known me, Philip? |
5831 | If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;how then can he be fruitful in the vineyard? |
5831 | If our sins he upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live? |
5831 | Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? |
5831 | Is not this the carpenter? |
5831 | May we not fly in a time of persecution? 5831 My little bird, how canst thou sit And sing amidst so many thorns? |
5831 | None of us liveth unto himself;why, then, should we desire life only for ourselves? |
5831 | Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? |
5831 | Pray how did she die? |
5831 | Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord; shall not my soul be avenged of such a nation as this? |
5831 | Shift? 5831 The word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory;"what glory? |
5831 | This was the day of God''s pleasure,for that his Son did rise thereon;"and shall it not be the day of my delight in him?" |
5831 | Thou tellest my wanderings and puttest my tears in thy bottle; are they not in thy book? |
5831 | We know God, and he is our God, our own God; of whom or of what should we be afraid? 5831 Well, but what art thou now?" |
5831 | What is Jordan? 5831 What man is he that feareth the Lord?" |
5831 | What sayest thou, poor soul? 5831 What was it then, dear heart, that hath prevailed with thee to do as thou hast done?" |
5831 | What wert thou once? |
5831 | Who was it that bid him forbear? |
5831 | Why? 5831 1:30, 31,turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, and walking after his own ungodly lusts? |
5831 | A man that nameth the name of Christ, and that departeth not from iniquity, to whom may he be compared? |
5831 | A work, did I say? |
5831 | A wounded spirit, who can bear? |
5831 | Abel- what to the reason of Eve was he, in comparison with Cain? |
5831 | Again, suppose the father should scourge and chasten the son for such offences, is the relation between them therefore dissolved? |
5831 | Again, would the people learn to be covetous? |
5831 | Alas, they think that she will be run down with a push; or, as they said,"What do these feeble Jews? |
5831 | All God''s children are criers: Can not you be quiet unless you are filled with the milk of God''s word? |
5831 | And albeit, saith Satan, thou prayest sometimes, yet is not thy heart possessed with a belief that God will not regard thee? |
5831 | And are not these pleasant sights? |
5831 | And do not the members receive their whole light, guidance, and wisdom from it? |
5831 | And dost thou not rejoice in secret that thou art the same that thou ever wert? |
5831 | And first, in Mark 16: 3- 7, the words are these:"And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away the stone?" |
5831 | And have these desires put thy soul to the flight? |
5831 | And how if thou shouldst come but one quarter of an hour too late? |
5831 | And if God''s will should be done on earth as it is in heaven, must it not be thy ruin? |
5831 | And if Satan meets thee, and asketh,"Whither goest thou?" |
5831 | And if he breaks up one of these bags, who can tell what he can do? |
5831 | And is all this no good; or can we do without such holy appointments of God? |
5831 | And is it possible it should be forgotten, or that by it our joy, light, and heaven should not be made the sweeter to all eternity? |
5831 | And is it thus with thy soul indeed? |
5831 | And is not this a needy time? |
5831 | And now when body and soul are thus united, who can imagine what glory they both possess? |
5831 | And said, moreover, that they could not wait upon me any longer; but said to me, Then you confess the indictment; do you not? |
5831 | And what can such a one say for himself in the judgment, that shall be charged with the abuse of love? |
5831 | And what chain so heavy as those that discourage thee? |
5831 | And what if God will cross his book and blot out the handwriting that is against thee, arid not let thee know it as yet? |
5831 | And what if thou waitest upon God all thy days? |
5831 | And what is a sinful man in himself, or in his approach to God, but as stubble fully dry? |
5831 | And what is folded up in these things, who can tell? |
5831 | And what is it that makes you so desirous to go to mount Zion? |
5831 | And what shall I now do, saith the sinner? |
5831 | And what then? |
5831 | And what will become of them that trample under foot this Son of God? |
5831 | And what, is my rank so mean that the most gracious and godly among you may not duly and soberly consider what I have said? |
5831 | And when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?" |
5831 | And wherefore doth he thus, but to beget an expectation in them of their salvation and deliverance? |
5831 | And who could have found in their heart to shut the door upon such a one? |
5831 | And why doth not God now cast the sinner to hell, for thus abusing his mercy and grace? |
5831 | And why have God''s servants of old made such notes, and observed from them such excellent and wonderful things? |
5831 | And why, but because God himself maintains the enmity? |
5831 | And will this be a delightsome draught? |
5831 | And wilt thou NOT regard? |
5831 | And would I be thoroughly saved from the filth as well as from the guilt? |
5831 | And yet doth it yield no good unto us? |
5831 | Are her plagues pleasant or easy to be borne? |
5831 | Are my prayers lost; are they forgotten; are they thrown over the bar? |
5831 | Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters in Israel? |
5831 | Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
5831 | Are not even ye,"says Paul,"in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
5831 | Are not these therefore strong desires? |
5831 | Are these the effect of a purblind spirit? |
5831 | Are these the tokens of a blessed man?" |
5831 | Are they not rather the fruits of an eagle- eyed confidence? |
5831 | Art thou a beggar, a beggar at God''s door? |
5831 | Art thou a fish, man-- art thou a fish? |
5831 | Art thou followed with affliction, and dost thou hear God''s angry voice in thy affliction? |
5831 | Art thou got into the right way? |
5831 | Art thou in Christ''s righteousness? |
5831 | Art thou indeed weary of the service of thy old masters, the devil, sin, and the world? |
5831 | Art thou inquiring the way to heaven? |
5831 | Art thou jogged and shaken and molested at the hearing of the word? |
5831 | Art thou not a graceless wretch? |
5831 | Art thou not come to discourse the Lord in prayer? |
5831 | Art thou such a one? |
5831 | Art thou that readest these lines such a one? |
5831 | Art thou therefore discharged or unladen of these things? |
5831 | Art thou unladen of the things of this world; as pride, pleasures, profits, lusts, vanities? |
5831 | Art thou visited in the night seasons with dreams about thy state, and that thou art in danger of being lost? |
5831 | As God saith,"Can thy hands be strong, and can thy heart endure in the day that I shall deal with thee?" |
5831 | As for example, Would a parishioner learn to be proud? |
5831 | At last the visitor comes and sets his soul at ease, by persuading him that he belongs to God; and what then? |
5831 | At present, lay the thoughts of thy election by, and ask thyself these questions: Do I see my lost condition? |
5831 | Aye, but, Lord, what wilt thou do to quench their thirst? |
5831 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
5831 | Before you enter into prayer, ask thy soul these questions: To what end, O my soul, art thou retired into this place? |
5831 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
5831 | Besides, if men be made righteous, they are so; and if by a righteousness which the law commends, how can fault be found with them by the law? |
5831 | Bold sinner, how darest thou tempt God by laughing at the breach of his holy law? |
5831 | But O, methinks this throne out of which good comes like a river, who but would be a subject to it? |
5831 | But Oh, when he is in the Spirit and sees in the Spirit, do you think his tongue can tell? |
5831 | But all this while, where''s he whose golden rays Drive night away, and beautify our days? |
5831 | But are you sure it is the same that we look for? |
5831 | But behold, now they in truth are delivered and saved, they recompense all with sin:"Lord, what is man? |
5831 | But could she do so if she had not wings? |
5831 | But do you speak seriously and in good earnest? |
5831 | But do you think these men saw the strength of the Jews? |
5831 | But dost thou think that thy more grace will exempt thee from temptations? |
5831 | But doth it not seem most reasonable that we should first mend and be good? |
5831 | But for thy better satisfaction, let me ask, Doth the Lord knock still at the door of thy heart, by his word and Spirit? |
5831 | But how long? |
5831 | But how much more should He be precious to me, who hath saved me from death and hell-- who hath delivered me from the wrath of God? |
5831 | But how must this be? |
5831 | But how shall I come thither? |
5831 | But how then must they see him? |
5831 | But how then shall we be changed and filled, when we shall see him as he is? |
5831 | But how, if while thou lookest for it to come to thee at one door, it come to thee at another? |
5831 | But how? |
5831 | But how? |
5831 | But if the sight of heaven at so vast a distance is so excellent a prospect, what will it be when one is in it? |
5831 | But if thou do it graciously, then a reward followeth;"for what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? |
5831 | But indeed it should not, for who needs the physician but the sick? |
5831 | But is it not the best way, if one can, to mend first? |
5831 | But perhaps thy heart is so hard and thy mind so united to the pleasing of thy vile affections, that thou wilt say,"What care I for my servant? |
5831 | But shall we be sure of it? |
5831 | But since I have lusts and desires both ways, how shall I know to which my soul adheres? |
5831 | But then I turn the tables, and say, But where shall I be shortly? |
5831 | But was it the tree, or the godhead of Christ, that put virtue and efficacy into this sacrifice that he offered to God for us? |
5831 | But what have they got by all they have done, either, against the Head or body of the church? |
5831 | But what of that, since the wrinkles that are in their faces threaten not us but them? |
5831 | But what should be the reason that such a good man should be all his days so much in the dark? |
5831 | But what terror is there in all this to those for the pleading of whose cause he is so angry with the other? |
5831 | But what then was the altar? |
5831 | But what then? |
5831 | But what will God now do? |
5831 | But what will you say to a soul in this condition? |
5831 | But when a poor creature sees its vileness, it is afraid to come to Christ, is it not? |
5831 | But when will that be? |
5831 | But whence must this come? |
5831 | But where hadst thou that heart that gives entertainment to these thoughts, these heavenly thoughts? |
5831 | But where shall we find him? |
5831 | But who is it that can live by grace? |
5831 | But who told thee that thy soul was such an excellent thing as by thy practice thou declarest thou believest it to be? |
5831 | But why? |
5831 | But will that good meal that I ate last week enable me without supply to do a good day''s work in this? |
5831 | But will you promise me to mend? |
5831 | But would you not have us rejoice at the sight and sense of the forgiveness of our sins? |
5831 | But wouldst thou change places with them? |
5831 | But yet all the things of God were kept out of my sight, and still the tempter followed me with, But whither must you go when you die? |
5831 | But, alas, what are a thousand such short comparisons to the unsearchable love of Christ? |
5831 | Can a holy, a just, and a righteous God think, with honor to his name, of saving such a vile creature as I am? |
5831 | Can a man believe in Christ, and not be hated by the devil? |
5831 | Can darkness agree with light? |
5831 | Can he make a profession of Christ, and that sweetly and convincingly, and the children of Satan hold their tongue? |
5831 | Can thy heart endure, or thy hands be strong? |
5831 | Can you give me some motive to self- denial? |
5831 | Can you remember by what means you find your annoyances, at times, as if they were vanquished? |
5831 | Canst thou answer this question, sinner? |
5831 | Canst thou be content to be put off with a belly well filled and a back well clothed? |
5831 | Canst thou hear this, and not have thy ears to tingle and burn on thy head? |
5831 | Canst thou read this and not feel it, and not feel thy conscience begin to throb? |
5831 | Could he not, think you, have stooped from the cross to the ground, and have laid hold of some honester man, if he would? |
5831 | Did I say before that religion was their pretence? |
5831 | Did I say before that the God of glory is desirous to be seen of us? |
5831 | Did ever any come thus to Christ? |
5831 | Did he die before he was born again? |
5831 | Did he die in unbelief? |
5831 | Did not the shepherds bid us beware of the flatterer?" |
5831 | Do I love Christ, his Father, his saints, his words and ways? |
5831 | Do I see salvation is nowhere but in Christ? |
5831 | Do it therefore, and say,"Why should any thing have my heart but God, but Christ? |
5831 | Do you want spiritual bread? |
5831 | Do you want strength against Satan''s temptations? |
5831 | Do you want strength of grace? |
5831 | Dost thou at times see some little excellency in Christ, and doth it stir up in thy soul some breathings after him? |
5831 | Dost thou count all things but poor, lifeless, empty, vain things, without communion with him? |
5831 | Dost thou count his company more precious than the whole world? |
5831 | Dost thou desire to be with them? |
5831 | Dost thou fear God? |
5831 | Dost thou fear God? |
5831 | Dost thou fear the Lord? |
5831 | Dost thou fly to him that is a Saviour from the wrath to come, for life? |
5831 | Dost thou hear, barren professor? |
5831 | Dost thou profess the name of Christ, and dost thou pretend to be a man departing from iniquity? |
5831 | Dost thou profess the name of Christ, and dost thou pretend to be a man departing from iniquity? |
5831 | Dost thou see a soul that has the image of God in him? |
5831 | Dost thou see in thee all manner of wickedness? |
5831 | Dost thou think that the way that thou art in will lead thee to the strait gate, sinner? |
5831 | Dost thou understand me, sinful soul? |
5831 | Doth he sometimes give thee some secret persuasions, though scarcely discernible, that thou mayest attain an interest in him? |
5831 | Doth he, together with this, put into thy heart an earnest desire after communion with him, with holy resolutions not to be satisfied without it? |
5831 | Doth his company sweeten all things; and his absence imbitter all things? |
5831 | Doth no man come to Jesus Christ by the will, wisdom, and power of man, but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father? |
5831 | Doth not every body see the folly of arguings? |
5831 | Doth not such a one want abundance of grace? |
5831 | Doth not the whole course of their way declare it to their face? |
5831 | Doth not thy heart twitter at being saved? |
5831 | Doth not thy mouth water? |
5831 | Doth the dove forbear to come to thee with a leaf in her bill as before? |
5831 | Doth this water of life run like a river, like a broad, full, and deep river? |
5831 | Flow they not, think you, from faith of the finest sort, and are they not bred in the bosom of a truly mortified soul? |
5831 | For a man to be content with this kind of faith and to look to go to salvation by it, what to God is a greater provocation? |
5831 | For who that shall read this story but must confess that the Son of God is full of grace? |
5831 | Friend, I did not ask thee why the JEWS did put him to death; but why was he crucified there for the sins of his children? |
5831 | Hark; dost thou not hear them what they say? |
5831 | Has not this river pleasant streams? |
5831 | Hast thou a heart to be sorry for this wickedness? |
5831 | Hast thou any enticing touches of the word of God upon thy mind? |
5831 | Hast thou heart- shaking apprehensions, when deep sleep is upon thee, of hell, death, and judgment to come? |
5831 | Hast thou through desires betaken thyself to thy heels? |
5831 | Hast thou well improved what thou hast received already? |
5831 | Hath God showed thee that thou art by nature under the curse of his law? |
5831 | Hath he indeed borne all my sins, and spilt his blood for my redemption? |
5831 | Hath not God chosen the foolish, the weak, the base, yea and even things that are not to bring to naught things that are? |
5831 | Have not thy groans gone up to heaven from every corner of thy house? |
5831 | Have they not in them power to loose the bands of nature, and to harden the soul against sorrow? |
5831 | Have we not talked of what he did at the Red sea and in the land of Ham, many years ago; and have we forgot him now? |
5831 | He asked them,"Why?" |
5831 | He said unto me, By what scripture? |
5831 | He saith to Peter,"Follow me;"and what thunder did Zaccheus hear or see? |
5831 | He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? |
5831 | He was God, a Creator, then; and is he not God now? |
5831 | He will reckon them up so fast and so fully that thou wilt cry,"Lord, when did I do this, and when did I do the other? |
5831 | Hence such a time is rightly said to be a time to try us, or to find out what we are; and is there no good in this? |
5831 | Her plagues are death and mourning and famine and fire; are these things to be overlooked? |
5831 | Here is naught but open war, acts of hostility, and shameful rebellion on the sinner''s side; and what delight can God take in that? |
5831 | Hew so? |
5831 | How art thou, when thou thinkest that thou thyself hast grace? |
5831 | How can it be, say they, that such a thing, So full of sweetness, e''er should wear a sting? |
5831 | How dost thou like being saved? |
5831 | How if he had come, having taken a command from his Father to damn you and to send you to dwell with devils in hell? |
5831 | How many Mahomet? |
5831 | How many poor souls hath Bonner to answer for, think you; and several filthy, blind priests? |
5831 | How many souls have they been the means of destroying by their ignorance and corrupt doctrine? |
5831 | How many souls, do you think, Balaam with his deceit will have to answer for? |
5831 | How many the Pharisees that hired the soldiers to say the disciples stole away Jesus, and by that means stumbled their brethren to this day? |
5831 | How must I be qualified before I shall dare to believe in Christ? |
5831 | How shall I pass through this dark entry into another world? |
5831 | How should he entertain hopes of life? |
5831 | How then can the world judge of the condition of the saints? |
5831 | How, then, if God should cast you into Turkey, where Mahomet reigns as lord? |
5831 | I am afraid the day of grace is past, and if it should be, what shall I do then? |
5831 | I am sure the psalmist was not, in that he often under affliction cries, But how long, O Lord; for ever? |
5831 | I could, were I so pleased, use higher- strains, And for applause on tenters stretch my brains; But what needs that? |
5831 | I say, Wert thou ever quickened from a dead state by the power of the Spirit of Christ through the covenant of promise? |
5831 | I say, dost thou see thyself in him; and is he more precious to thee than the whole world? |
5831 | I say, therefore, to thee that art thus, And why despair? |
5831 | I say, what wilt thou say to this? |
5831 | I say, where is the honor they should put upon them? |
5831 | I say, wilt thou then slight a weeping Jesus, one that so loveth the soul that rather than he will lose thee, he will with tears persuade thee? |
5831 | If Sampson''s riddle was so puzzling, what shall we think of this? |
5831 | If judgment begins at the house of God, what will be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? |
5831 | If so, then in the next place, what will become of them that are grown weary before they are got half- way thither? |
5831 | If so, what is the worth or value that is in the grace itself? |
5831 | Is Christ Jesus the Lord my advocate with the Father? |
5831 | Is Christ then the image of the Father, simply as considered of the same divine and eternal excellency with him? |
5831 | Is antichrist to be destroyed? |
5831 | Is he merciful, will he help thee? |
5831 | Is he present, will he hear thee? |
5831 | Is it below thee? |
5831 | Is it fit to say unto God, Thou art hard- hearted? |
5831 | Is it not the least in thy thoughts? |
5831 | Is it so, that coming to Christ is by the Father? |
5831 | Is it so, that they that are coining to Jesus Christ, are ofttimes heartily afraid that he will not receive them? |
5831 | Is not Christ the head, and we the members? |
5831 | Is not he also the price, the ground, and bottom of our happiness, both in this world and that which is to come? |
5831 | Is not such a day the day that bends us, humbles us, and that makes us bow before God for our faults committed in our prosperity? |
5831 | Is not this God rich in mercy? |
5831 | Is not this an encouragement to the biggest sinners to make their application to Christ for mercy? |
5831 | Is not this enough to make any poor soul begin his race? |
5831 | Is not this excellent water? |
5831 | Is not this to play the fool in the account of sinners, while angels wonder at and rejoice for thy wisdom? |
5831 | Is not thy heart so full of desires after the things of another world, that many times thou dost even forget the things of this world? |
5831 | Is the doctrine offered unto thee so? |
5831 | Is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great? |
5831 | Is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great? |
5831 | Is there not life and mettle in them? |
5831 | Is there nothing in dark providences, for the sake of the sight and observation of which such a day may be rendered lovely, when it is upon us? |
5831 | Is thy business slight, is it not concerning the welfare of thy soul? |
5831 | Is thy conscience awakened and convinced, then, that thou art at present in a perishing state, and that thou hast need to cry to God for mercy? |
5831 | Is thy heart still so stubborn as not to say yet, Let us fear the Lord? |
5831 | Is thy mind always musing on him; and lovest thou to be walking with him? |
5831 | It is false, said she; for when they said to him, Do you confess the indictment? |
5831 | It will never backslide again, will it? |
5831 | Let these things teach us"to cease from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?" |
5831 | May I not wash in them and be clean?" |
5831 | Men will do thus, as I said, in courts below; and why shouldst not thou approach thus to the courts above? |
5831 | Might not God now cast off this sinner, and cast him out of his sight? |
5831 | Must antichrist be destroyed? |
5831 | Must antichrist be destroyed? |
5831 | Must he do what he lists? |
5831 | Nay, are not the very thoughts of it altogether displeasing to thee? |
5831 | Nay, dost thou know what original sin means? |
5831 | Need I read you a lecture? |
5831 | Now here some may object, and say,"Since the way to God by these doors was so wide, why doth Christ say the way and gate is narrow?" |
5831 | Now the Spirit of Christ, that leads also; but whither? |
5831 | Now what can hell and death do to him that hath this mercy of God upon him? |
5831 | Now why should we lay hands cross on this text; that is, choose good victuals and love the sweet wine better than the salvation of the poor publican? |
5831 | Now"shall not his soul be avenged on such a nation as this?" |
5831 | Now, let the man that professes the name of Christ religiously consider with himself,"Unto what sin or vanity am I most inclined? |
5831 | Now, to be taught of God, what is like it? |
5831 | Now, who will meet me in this dark entry? |
5831 | O Lord, how long? |
5831 | O Lord, let me be any thing but a sinner; any thing, so thou subduest mine iniquities for me?" |
5831 | O how should a poor soul do this? |
5831 | O if he were one quarter of an hour to behold, to feel, to taste, and enjoy but the thousandth part of what we enjoy, what would he do? |
5831 | O sinner, wilt thou not open? |
5831 | O that my soul were so full of grace, that there might be no longer room for even the least lust to come into my thoughts?" |
5831 | O thou that fearest the Lord, what is thy desire? |
5831 | O, blessed face; O, holy grace, When shall we see this day? |
5831 | O, poor Eve, do we wonder at thy folly? |
5831 | O, sir, what will thy gallant, generous mind do here? |
5831 | Oh sinner, what sayest thou? |
5831 | Oh then, what is dwelling with them and in them for ever and ever? |
5831 | Oh, but can it turn all things into grace-- can it make all things work together for good? |
5831 | Oh, pull no longer; why shouldst thou be thine own executioner? |
5831 | Oh, what is he doing now? |
5831 | Oh, who would not be in this condition? |
5831 | Or art thou like the ostrich whom God hath deprived of wisdom, and hath hardened her heart against her young? |
5831 | Or dost thou think that God is at play with thee, and that he threateneth but in jest? |
5831 | Or how is it with thy soul? |
5831 | Or if they were, would they be afraid that God would not make them welcome? |
5831 | Or shall a cloud dwell on this day? |
5831 | Or shall it come to save us, and shall we he offended with the hand that brings it? |
5831 | Or when saw we thee sick or in a prison, and came unto thee?" |
5831 | Or whom did Christ come into the world to save, but the chief of sinners? |
5831 | Peter asks thee another question:"If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" |
5831 | Ponder the path of thy feet with the greatest seriousness; thy life lies upon it; what thinkest thou? |
5831 | Poor sinner, awake: Eternity is coming, and his Son; they are both coming to judge the world: awake; art yet asleep, poor sinner? |
5831 | Saved I would be; and who is there that would not, were he in my condition? |
5831 | Says Satan, Dost thou not know that thou art one of the vilest in all the pack of professors? |
5831 | Says Satan, Dost thou not know that thou hast horribly sinned? |
5831 | Says Satan, Doth not thy conscience tell thee that thou art and hast been more base than any of thy fellows can imagine thee to be? |
5831 | Secondly, with respect to thy desires, what are they? |
5831 | See here: what should we talk any more about such a fellow? |
5831 | Shall Christ come down from heaven to earth to declare this to sinners; and shall sinners stop their ears against these good tidings? |
5831 | Shall God regard this day from above, and shall not his light shine upon this day? |
5831 | Shall he stay from Christ till his heart is better? |
5831 | Shall he trust to his duties? |
5831 | Shall not these mournful groans pierce thy flinty heart? |
5831 | Shall these pass or such as believe to the saving of the soul? |
5831 | Shall this man lie down and despair? |
5831 | Shall we deserve correction, and be angry because we have it? |
5831 | Shall we do evil that good may come? |
5831 | Shall we sin that grace may abound; or shall we be base in life because God by grace hath secured us from wrath to come? |
5831 | Should one say to them, Art not thou the man that I once saw crying under a sermon, that I once heard cry out,"What must I do to be saved?" |
5831 | Sin and guilt bring weakness and faintness in this life; how much more when both, with all their force and power, like a giant fasten on them? |
5831 | Sinner, hast thou deferred to fear the Lord? |
5831 | Sinner, if this wicked thought be in thy heart, tell me again, dost thou thus think in earnest? |
5831 | Sinner, why shouldst thou pull vengeance down upon thee? |
5831 | Sluggard, art thou asleep still? |
5831 | So the Interpreter addressed him to Mercy, and said unto her,"And what moved thee to come hither, sweetheart?" |
5831 | Sometimes I look upon myself and say, Where am I now? |
5831 | Stand among the wicked thou then wilt not dare to do: where wilt thou appear, sinner? |
5831 | Suppose a child doth grievously transgress against and offend his father; is the relation between them therefore dissolved? |
5831 | Tell me, when did you see an old drunkard converted? |
5831 | The love of riches, the love of honors, the love of pleasures, are the thorns that choke the word; how then can there be fruit brought forth to God? |
5831 | Then he asked them, saying,"Where did you lie the last night?" |
5831 | Then said Christian to the Interpreter,"But is there no hope for such a man as this?" |
5831 | Then said Christian to the man,"What art thou?" |
5831 | Then said Christian,"Is there no hope but you must be kept in the iron cage of despair?" |
5831 | Then said Christian,"May we go in thither?" |
5831 | Then said Christian,"What meaneth this?" |
5831 | Then said Christian,"What means this?" |
5831 | Then said Christian,"What means this?" |
5831 | Then said Christian,"What means this?" |
5831 | Then said Christian,"What means this?" |
5831 | Then said Mercy,"What means this?" |
5831 | Then said the pilgrims,"Alas, what now shall we do?" |
5831 | Then said they,"Have you none?" |
5831 | There is never a rebel against God in heaven; and if he should so deal on earth, must he not whirl thee down to hell? |
5831 | Therefore the cup is called Christ''s cup:"Are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of? |
5831 | Therefore, if you meet with the cross in thy journey, in what manner soever it be, be not daunted and say, Alas, what shall I do now? |
5831 | These kill the heart; for who can bear up under the guilt of sin? |
5831 | They begin to vaunt it already, and to say, Where is the word of the Lord as to this? |
5831 | They have got kingdoms, they have got crowns, they have got-- what have they not got? |
5831 | This is Peter''s question: canst thou answer it, sinner? |
5831 | This is just as if a sick man should say,"Is it not best for me to be well before I go to the physician?" |
5831 | Thou art in a strait; wilt thou fly before Moses, or with David fall into the hands of the Lord? |
5831 | Thou canst not, thou complainest, pray; canst thou see thy misery? |
5831 | Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his promise, or that he ever deceived the soul that ventured itself upon him? |
5831 | Thou subject art to cold o''nights, When darkness is thy covering; At day thy danger''s great by kites; How canst thou then sit there and sing? |
5831 | Thus also thou mayest say, when death assaulteth thee,"O death, where is thy sting? |
5831 | Thus their covetousness hath set them on high, even above the suns, moons, and stars of this world: but to what end? |
5831 | Thy God has"bidden thee open thy mouth; he has bid thee open it wide,"and promised, saying,"and I will fill it;"and wilt thou not desire? |
5831 | To slight grace, to do despite to the Spirit of grace, to prefer our own works, thus derogating from grace--- what is it but to contemn God? |
5831 | True, he stopped the blow but for a time; but why did he stop it at all? |
5831 | WHAT is prayer? |
5831 | Was it not the act of the false apostles to say thus-- to bespatter a man that his doctrine might be disregarded? |
5831 | Was it not therefore well worth the seeing- yea, if John had taken the pains to go up thither upon his hands and knees? |
5831 | Was it the removing of thy habitation, the change of thy condition, the loss of relations, estate, or the like? |
5831 | Was not this a strange act and a display of unthought of grace? |
5831 | Well, but what says God? |
5831 | Well, but when did God show thee that thou wert no Christian? |
5831 | Well, what shall he done for this man? |
5831 | Well, will things that are less satisfy thy soul? |
5831 | Were there none but thieves there, or were the rest of that company out of his reach? |
5831 | What are the things thou desirest; are they lawful or unlawful? |
5831 | What can be more full? |
5831 | What can be more plain? |
5831 | What can be more suitable to the most desponding spirit in any man? |
5831 | What can the lady or mistress do to defend herself against thieves and sturdy villains, if there be none but she at home? |
5831 | What conduct? |
5831 | What could the king of Babylon''s golden image have done, had it not been for the burning fiery furnace that stood within view of the worshippers? |
5831 | What could the temple do without its watchmen? |
5831 | What demand of thine have I not fully answered? |
5831 | What dost thou think? |
5831 | What doth the law require? |
5831 | What encouragement can be given us thus to come? |
5831 | What evidence have you for heaven and glory, and an inheritance among them that are sanctified? |
5831 | What ground, now, is here for despair? |
5831 | What ground, then, to despair? |
5831 | What have I here? |
5831 | What if we must now go to heaven, and what if he is thus come to fetch us to himself? |
5831 | What is God''s majesty to a sinful man, but a consuming fire? |
5831 | What is heaven without God? |
5831 | What is his calling? |
5831 | What is poor sorry man, poor dust and ashes, that he should crowd up, and go jostlingly into the presence of the great God? |
5831 | What is sixteen cubits to him who would enter in here with all the world on his back? |
5831 | What is that? |
5831 | What is the church of God redeemed by from the curse of the law? |
5831 | What is there in the Lord''s supper, in baptism, yea, in preaching the word and prayer, were they not the appointments of God? |
5831 | What is this that thou hast done? |
5831 | What is this that thou hast done? |
5831 | What is this that thou hast done? |
5831 | What is this to the purpose? |
5831 | What is this? |
5831 | What kind of secret wishes hast thou in thy soul, when thou feelest the lusts of thy flesh to rage? |
5831 | What kind of thoughts hast thou of thyself, now thou seest those desires of thine that are good so briskly opposed by those that are bad? |
5831 | What man that ever had read or assented to the gospel, but would have spoken more honorably of Christ than you have done? |
5831 | What must he do, therefore? |
5831 | What nation, what people, what kind of sinners have not been subdued by the preaching of a crucified Christ? |
5831 | What now must be done with this fig- tree? |
5831 | What now? |
5831 | What sayest thou now, sinner? |
5831 | What sayest thou to this, poor sinner? |
5831 | What says Job? |
5831 | What sayst thou now, sinner? |
5831 | What sayst thou? |
5831 | What scripture can be plainer spoken than this? |
5831 | What shall I say? |
5831 | What shall I say? |
5831 | What shall I say? |
5831 | What shall I say? |
5831 | What shall be done to them that curse this day, and would not that the stars should give their light thereon? |
5831 | What shall_ I_ say? |
5831 | What should be the reason but that death assaulted him with his sting? |
5831 | What then can stand before us? |
5831 | What then? |
5831 | What then? |
5831 | What was the providence that God made use of as a means, either more remote or near, to bring thee to Jesus Christ? |
5831 | What will all say, or what will they conclude, even upon the very first hearing of this story? |
5831 | What will become of you? |
5831 | What will the soul do now? |
5831 | What wilt thou do, poor sinner? |
5831 | What words wilt thou use to move him to compassion? |
5831 | What would he leave undone? |
5831 | What would he suffer? |
5831 | What would you have a poor creature do, that can not tell how to pray? |
5831 | What, dost thou think to run fast enough, with the world, thy sins and lusts in thy heart? |
5831 | What, is baffling and befooling the enemies of God''s church nothing? |
5831 | What, is preservation nothing? |
5831 | What, set more by thy soul than by all the world? |
5831 | What, shall Christ become a servant for you, and will you be drudges for the devil? |
5831 | What, will your husband leave preaching? |
5831 | When God made me sigh, they would hearken, and inquiringly say,"What is the matter with John?" |
5831 | When didst thou see that; and in the light of the Spirit of Christ see that thou wert under the wrath of God because of original sin? |
5831 | When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in, or naked and clothed thee? |
5831 | When thou shalt see less sinners than thou art bound up by angels in bundles to burn them, where wilt thou appear, sinner? |
5831 | Where is that jot or tittle of the law that is able to object against my doings for want of satisfaction?" |
5831 | Where is the man that is zealous of moral holiness? |
5831 | Where is the man that walketh with his cross upon his shoulder? |
5831 | Where now is the man that feareth the Lord? |
5831 | Where shall I see myself anon, after a few more times have passed over me? |
5831 | Where will you be found in another world? |
5831 | Where''s he that thaws our ice, drives cold away? |
5831 | Where''s he whose goodly face doth warm and heal, And show us what the darksome nights conceal? |
5831 | Wherefore puttest thou thy hand in thy bosom, as being afraid to touch the hem of the garment of thy Lord? |
5831 | Wherefore standest thou thus with thy ifs and thy O- buts, O thou poor benighted Israelite? |
5831 | Wherefore, though in the day of judgment thou shouldst there slight all thou didst on earth for thy Lord, saying,"When, Lord, when did we do it?" |
5831 | Which wouldest thou have prevail; the desires of the flesh, or the lusts of the spirit? |
5831 | Who can reach them, touch them, destroy them, but the Creator? |
5831 | Who can tell how many heart- pleasing thoughts Christ had of us before the world began? |
5831 | Who do so flutter it out as our ruffling, formal worshippers? |
5831 | Who is it that would not have the benefit of grace, of a throne of grace? |
5831 | Who now, or which of them, had their graces shining clearest, since both seemed to be alike? |
5831 | Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? |
5831 | Who speak to their aged parents with that due regard to that relation, to their age, to their worn- out condition, that becomes them? |
5831 | Who then shall condemn, when Christ has died and does also make intercession? |
5831 | Whose side art thou of? |
5831 | Why did he not cut it down? |
5831 | Why did he not do execution? |
5831 | Why did he not fetch out the axe? |
5831 | Why is the conversion of the the soul compared to the grafting of a tree, if that be done without cutting? |
5831 | Why not be familiar with sinners, provided we hate their spots and blemishes, and seek that they may be healed of them? |
5831 | Why not be fellowly with our carnal neighbors, if we take occasion to do so that we may drop and be distilling some good doctrine upon their souls? |
5831 | Why not go to the poor man''s house, and give him a penny and a scripture to think upon? |
5831 | Why shall thy deceived heart turn thee aside, that thou canst not deliver thy soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand? |
5831 | Why sittest thou still? |
5831 | Why so? |
5831 | Why so? |
5831 | Why standest thou still? |
5831 | Why then do you despise my rank, my state, and quality in the world? |
5831 | Why then dost thou talk of two strings to thy bow?" |
5831 | Why then is it said, he hath his way in the whirlwind and storm? |
5831 | Why then should we think that our innocent lives will exempt us from sufferings, or that troubles shall do us harm? |
5831 | Why, truly thus: Doth Satan tell thee thou prayest but faintly, and with very cold devotion? |
5831 | Why, what had Jonathan done? |
5831 | Why, what is this more than to flatter God with thy lips, and than to lie unto him with thy tongue? |
5831 | Why, what wouldst thou ask for, sinner? |
5831 | Why, where is he then? |
5831 | Why? |
5831 | Why? |
5831 | Why? |
5831 | Will a less thing than heaven, than glory and eternal life, answer thy desires? |
5831 | Will he leave him to recover himself by the strength of his now languishing grace? |
5831 | Will he let him alone in his apostasy? |
5831 | Will he take this advantage to destroy the sinner? |
5831 | Will his God humor him, and answer his desires? |
5831 | Will it please thee, when thou shalt see that thou hast brought forth children to the murderer? |
5831 | Will neither tidings from heaven nor hell awake thee? |
5831 | Will they fortify themselves? |
5831 | Will this content thee? |
5831 | Will you give me one more encouragement? |
5831 | Will you not hear the errand of Christ, although he telleth you tidings of peace and salvation? |
5831 | Will you rebel against the king? |
5831 | Wilt thou answer this question now; or wilt thou take time to do it; or wilt thou be desperate and venture all? |
5831 | Wilt thou go to hell for sin, or to life by grace? |
5831 | Wilt thou he like the silly fly, that is not quiet unless she be either entangled in the spider''s web or burnt in the candle? |
5831 | Wilt thou not cry? |
5831 | Wilt thou say still,"Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to sleep?" |
5831 | Wilt thou stop thine ears and shut thine eyes? |
5831 | Would I share in this salvation by faith in him? |
5831 | Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered in the first place to the biggest sinners? |
5831 | Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinner? |
5831 | Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners? |
5831 | Would he be afraid of friends, or shrink at the most fearful threatenings that the greatest tyrants could invent to give him? |
5831 | Would he favor sin? |
5831 | Would he love this world below? |
5831 | Would the people learn to be wanton? |
5831 | Would they be here again for a thousand worlds? |
5831 | Would they learn to be drunkards? |
5831 | Would they not call thee a thousand fools, and say, O that he did but see what we see, feel what we feel, and taste of the dainties that we taste of? |
5831 | Wouldst thou be saved from guilt and filth too? |
5831 | Wouldst thou be saved with a thorough salvation? |
5831 | Wouldst thou be saved? |
5831 | Wouldst thou be the servant of thy Saviour? |
5831 | Wouldst thou have the kingdom of God come indeed, and also his will to be done in earth as it is in heaven? |
5831 | Wouldst thou improve this love of God and of Christ? |
5831 | Wouldst thou know, sinner, what thou art? |
5831 | Wouldst thou sit upon their place of ease? |
5831 | Yea, I say again, if judgment must begin at them, will it not make thee think, What shall become of me? |
5831 | Yea, Peter himself, when upon a time he perceived more than commonly he did of the majesty of Jesus his Lord, what doth he do? |
5831 | Yea, or no? |
5831 | Yea, suppose the child should now, through ignorance, cry and say,"This man is now no more my father;"is he therefore no more his father? |
5831 | Yea, what is like being taught in the way that them shalt choose? |
5831 | Yea, what wilt thou then do if death and hell shall come to visit thee, and thou in thy sins and under the curse of the law?'' |
5831 | Yes, the Lord Jesus denied himself for thee: what sayest thou to that? |
5831 | and his men of strange faces, in strange habits, with strange gestures and behaviors, monsters to behold? |
5831 | and that some time ago I heard speak well of the holy word of God? |
5831 | and what would you have?" |
5831 | and why do the Scriptures say that"through this man is preached to us the forgiveness of sins?" |
5831 | and will he not be as good to us as to them that have gone before us? |
5831 | are these the servants of God, where iniquity is made so much of and is so highly entertained?" |
5831 | art thou resolved to sleep the sleep of death? |
5831 | banished thence where they willingly would have harbor: how came they to thy house, to thy heart, and to find entertainment in thy soul? |
5831 | can not you be satisfied unless you have peace with God? |
5831 | canst thou drink hell- fire? |
5831 | canst thou live always, and nowhere else hut in the water? |
5831 | canst thou live in the water? |
5831 | hath not this God great love for sinners? |
5831 | how shall I grapple with the misery that I must meet with in eternity?" |
5831 | in love to God, in love to men, in holy love, in love unfeigned?" |
5831 | is grace thy proper element? |
5831 | is it covetousness? |
5831 | is it fleshly lust?" |
5831 | is it pride? |
5831 | might he not leave him to his own choice, to be deluded by and to fall in his own righteousness, because he trusts to it and commits iniquity? |
5831 | or athirst and gave thee drink? |
5831 | or is it muddy and mixed with the doctrines of men? |
5831 | or when thou shalt hear them cry, I learnt to go on in the paths of sin by the carriage of professing parents? |
5831 | or will that penny that supplied my want the other day-- I say, will the same penny also, without a supply, supply my wants to- day? |
5831 | or, will that seasonable shower which fell last year, be, without supplies, a seasonable help to the grain and grass that is growing now? |
5831 | to contemn him when he is on the throne, when he is on the throne of his glory? |
5831 | who but would worship before it? |
5831 | who would not be in this glory? |
5831 | who would slight convictions that are on their souls, which tend so much for their good? |
5831 | why shouldst thou pull vengeance down from heaven upon thee? |
5831 | will the wrath of God be a pleasant dish to thy taste? |
5831 | will they make an end in a day? |
5831 | will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish which are burnt? |
5831 | will they sacrifice? |
5831 | wilt thou not desire? |
5831 | you may ask me what that is? |
45843 | But what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? 45843 Can the power of baptism,"says Cyprian,"be greater or better than confession? |
45843 | If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of His household? 45843 Or if you call us guilty,"say you,"why do you, who are yourselves innocent, seek for our company?" |
45843 | What then are we to do,say they,"with those whom we have already rebaptized?" |
45843 | What,say you,"have you to do with the kings of this world, in whom Christianity has never found anything save envy towards her?" |
45843 | Who accused him? |
45843 | Who convicted him? |
45843 | [ 1002] What could be plainer? 45843 [ 1035] For what have we which we did not receive? |
45843 | [ 1088] What have we here to do with these? 45843 [ 1089] Do you acknowledge that here there is no What if, no Possibly? |
45843 | [ 108] If for two men who agree, how much more for two communities? 45843 [ 1095] What has this to do with the subject? |
45843 | [ 1104] What can be clearer than this sentence? 45843 [ 165] But who are true Christians, save those of whom the same Lord said,"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me? |
45843 | [ 166] But what is it to keep His commandments, except to abide in love? 45843 [ 197] Let it not, then, be asked of us"of what God he is made the temple? |
45843 | [ 245] But when does he fail to express his abhorrence of the covetous? 45843 [ 281] Who says that it is? |
45843 | [ 340] For if baptism remains inseparably in him who is baptized, how can it be that he can be separated from the Church, and baptism can not? 45843 [ 362] What then? |
45843 | [ 363] But to these the apostle says,Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? |
45843 | [ 368] For neither are the covetous the temple of God, since it is written,What agreement hath the temple of God with idols? |
45843 | [ 376] For he writes most manifestly to them, saying,How say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? |
45843 | [ 390] If not by water, how in the ark? 45843 [ 438] How then do the wicked baptize within, who can not remit sins? |
45843 | [ 500] And when he says that a widow that liveth in pleasure is dead,[501] how are they not dead who renounce the world in words and not in deeds? 45843 [ 524] Is a heretic worse even than such? |
45843 | [ 561] How much worse, therefore, are those who did not consent with thieves, but themselves were wo nt to plunder farms with treacherous deceits? 45843 [ 679] so how can the error of the Donatists have power to overthrow the error of the Manichæans? |
45843 | [ 717] And because this might be said indiscriminately by any one against any one, as though it were asked, Under whose lips? 45843 [ 764] If he whom you saw did not pollute you, why do you reproach me with one whom I could not have seen? |
45843 | [ 795] What could be plainer than this testimony? 45843 [ 862] From what river does it mean, save that where He was baptized, and where the dove descended on Him, that mighty token of charity and unity? |
45843 | [ 88] But why does the Lord Himself say,Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment,"[89] if we may not judge any man? |
45843 | [ 985] But if you did not do this, why do you boast as though you had done it? 45843 [ 989] For whence else is it that one hastens even with infants to seek remission of their sins? |
45843 | [ 98] If he was polluted by communion with persons of this kind, why do they follow his authority in the question of baptism? 45843 [ 996] And because he had no hopes that they could be reformed, therefore he said,"Whence shall I be healed?" |
45843 | ''"[ 1085] Does he mean that when I said, What if the conscience of the giver be hidden from sight, and possibly be stained with guilt? |
45843 | ''"[ 244] What then? |
45843 | ''Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant? |
45843 | ''[ 551] But if God be true, how can the truth of baptism be in the company of heretics, where God is not?" |
45843 | ''[ 578] How can he who is a sinner be heard in baptism?" |
45843 | ''[ 586] How then can any one baptize in a place where there is not either God, or Christ, or the Church?" |
45843 | ''[ 603] How can such men be admitted without consideration into the house of God, who are forbidden to be admitted into our private house? |
45843 | ''[ 702] If you were to burn with fire the testament of a dead man, would you not be punished as the falsifier of a will? |
45843 | ''[ 796] Whom do you teach,_ traditor_? |
45843 | ''[ 861] What then does the law say? |
45843 | ''[ 930] Where is the patience which He displayed when they spat upon His face, who Himself with His most holy spittle opened the eyes of the blind? |
45843 | 2, 3)? |
45843 | ; not always profitable, 224, 225; is it valid when received from one who was not himself baptized? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: Are you then really not ashamed to call the baptism of Christ a lie, even when it is found in the most false of men? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: By what offences? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: How often must I tell you the same thing? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: Is it then really so, that when men smite you on the one cheek, you turn to them the other? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: What are you saying, if I may ask? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: What if your private person, whom you deem a forger, were to set forth to any one the law of the emperor? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: What is it but sheer madness to utter these taunts without proving anything? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: What shall I say unto thee, O man, except that thou art calumnious? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: Wherefore say you this? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: Who is there in the Scriptures that would not distinguish between these two classes of men? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: Why then do you not restrain the weapons of the Circumcelliones with such words as these? |
45843 | AUGUSTINE answered: Why will you put yourself forward in the room of Christ, when you will not place yourself under Him? |
45843 | Again, if Maximianus is not dead, why is a man baptized again who had been baptized by him? |
45843 | And He said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? |
45843 | And again, why was it, as I asked just now, that you offered a petition to Julian, the undoubted foe of Christianity? |
45843 | And as though some one had said to him, Whence do you derive your proof of this? |
45843 | And further, what do you mean by introducing those whom you mentioned above in such numbers? |
45843 | And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? |
45843 | And he said, Who art Thou, Lord? |
45843 | And he, trembling and astonished, said, Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do? |
45843 | And how can he be so renovated whose past sins are not remitted? |
45843 | And how can that be true which He then says,"He that is not against you is for you?" |
45843 | And if they have in them a tinge of Christianity, they say further,"Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant? |
45843 | And if they would have obeyed him, and begun to live rightly, not as false but as true Christians, would he have ordered them to be baptized anew? |
45843 | And if this be so, how does St. John say,"He that hateth his brother remaineth still in darkness,"if remission of his sins has already taken place? |
45843 | And if this is a sin, who is the man that will say, Grant that for a single day I may commit sin? |
45843 | And if we do ill in urging this, why do you seek after us? |
45843 | And let not any one say, Why, what fruit hath the tares? |
45843 | And since you assume this as the fundamental principle of your baptism, are men to place their trust in you? |
45843 | And so too now, when the question between us is, Where is the Church? |
45843 | And then do you dare to say to Christians,"What have you to do with the kings of the world?" |
45843 | And what if Julian, who gave you back the basilicas, had not been so speedily snatched away from life? |
45843 | And what is regeneration in baptism, except the being renovated from the corruption of the old man? |
45843 | And when is that fulfilled, you will say, which the Lord declares,"The time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service? |
45843 | And yet how could this be possible, if the sin be of such a nature that it can not be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come? |
45843 | And yet they were among the very men to whom the same apostle says,"Was Paul crucified for you? |
45843 | And yet what hope can a man have, who, whether he is aware of it or not, has either a very bad head or no head at all? |
45843 | Another Secundinus of Carpis[489] said:"Are heretics Christians or not? |
45843 | Answer me, wherefore have ye separated yourselves? |
45843 | Answer me, wherefore have ye separated yourselves? |
45843 | Are none of such a character anointed among you? |
45843 | Are none, therefore, of these to be delivered? |
45843 | Are proceedings wrongly taken when kings forbid division? |
45843 | Are the sins of_ traditors_, as I began to say, heavier than those of schismatics? |
45843 | Are these the thorns among which she is a lily, as it is said in the same Song? |
45843 | Are these two whom you mention the vast number of whom you spoke? |
45843 | Are they not sinners? |
45843 | Are thieves and murderers not contrary to the law, which says,"Thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal? |
45843 | Are this man''s sins forgiven or not? |
45843 | Are those things not an obstacle to those who are patient, and tolerate the tares lest the wheat should be rooted out together with them? |
45843 | Are we again without the knowledge of the way of peace, who study to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace? |
45843 | Are we not to call murderers the enemies and foes of the Lord? |
45843 | Are we to compare with this persecution which Hagar suffered the case of holy David, who was persecuted by unrighteous Saul? |
45843 | Are we to suppose, therefore, that there are two Holy Spirits? |
45843 | Are you innocent or guilty? |
45843 | Are you more righteous than Paul, more perfect than that great apostle, who was wo nt to commend himself to the prayers of those whom he taught? |
45843 | Are you more righteous than the evangelist John, who says,"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us? |
45843 | Are you not afraid that as many satellites of Gildo will be sought for among you, as there are men who may have been baptized by Optatus? |
45843 | Are you not utterly dissatisfied with yourself? |
45843 | Are you really so filled with fear of riches, that, having nothing, you possess all things? |
45843 | Are you thinking of the lesson which we learned as boys? |
45843 | Are, then, ill- affectioned murderers successors of the apostles? |
45843 | Baptized by the dead, the, who? |
45843 | Baptized twice, or not at all, which the worst case? |
45843 | But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? |
45843 | But do you not know, or rather, have you not read, that the guilt of one who instigates a murder is greater than the guilt of him who carries it out? |
45843 | But does it follow that because the water is not unto salvation it is not the identical water? |
45843 | But how if they both are founded on truth, and could not be used by you for the expulsion of others except with the aid of falsehood? |
45843 | But how shall I call you merciful when you inflict punishment on the righteous? |
45843 | But if all perished in pollution through that custom, from what cavern do they issue without the original truth, and with all the cunning of calumny? |
45843 | But if both of them were foes of Christianity, why did you thus appeal to one of them? |
45843 | But if he had innocence, why did he persecute the innocent? |
45843 | But if he was not polluted by communion with them, why do they not follow his example in maintaining unity? |
45843 | But if it can be retained outside, why may it not also be given there? |
45843 | But if the Church remained, the good are in no wise contaminated by the bad in such communion; answer me, therefore, why did ye break the bond? |
45843 | But if the evil do not pollute the good in unity, how do they defend themselves against the charge of sacrilegious separation? |
45843 | But if they are dead, whence is there life in the baptism which they gave? |
45843 | But if you are guilty, why do you not fly for refuge to His mercy? |
45843 | But if you are not suffering persecution, why are you unwilling to reply to us? |
45843 | But if you pray, as our great Master deigned to teach us, how do you say,"Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us?" |
45843 | But if you wish that we should be your foes, why do you kill your foes?" |
45843 | But this, they say, is the very thing which disquiets us,--If we are unrighteous, wherefore do you seek our company? |
45843 | But to what profit is it that I should reproduce all his insulting terms? |
45843 | But to whom shall I address myself, or how shall I address myself to them, seeing that in them I find no time wherein to speak? |
45843 | But what does he mean by adding,"This, brethren, we ought to shun and avoid, separating ourselves from so great a sin?" |
45843 | But what else did all of them do, in judging no one, or removing from the right of communion any one who entertained a different opinion? |
45843 | But what else is conduct like yours but ignorance of what to say, combined with want of power to abstain from evil- speaking? |
45843 | But what has it to do with me? |
45843 | But what has this to do with us? |
45843 | But what have you really done, except to cause them to be quoted twice? |
45843 | But what is the need of allowing this accursed wrong for a single day, or a single hour? |
45843 | But what kind of argument is this, that"a heretic must be considered not to have baptism, because he has not the Church?" |
45843 | But who can ever doubt that a baptized person can be separated from the Church? |
45843 | But who can fail to understand what they may be saying in their hearts? |
45843 | But who is rash enough to say that he would have been likely to assert what is false, when it is quite possible that he was asserting what is true? |
45843 | But why do we make inquiry into these points? |
45843 | But why should we make a longer dissertation on this point? |
45843 | But you acknowledge that you rejoice in the name of Donatus, do you also take any pleasure in the name of Optatus? |
45843 | But"if innocence is on your side, why do you persecute us with the sword?" |
45843 | By what means then have they been cleansed, who at this day, after he has been condemned, are certainly not washed again? |
45843 | Can it be that envy and malicious strife are a small evil? |
45843 | Can it be that schism does not involve hatred of one''s brethren? |
45843 | Can it be that, when he who is baptized is unaware of the faithlessness of his baptizer, it is then Christ who is the origin and root and head?" |
45843 | Can it be, that when he who is baptized is unaware of the faithlessness of his baptizer, it is then Christ who is the origin and root and head? |
45843 | Can it really be that a man would spare Christ if He were walking here on earth who speaks against Him while He sits in heaven? |
45843 | Can it, however, be said on this account that they do not receive the complete sacrament? |
45843 | Can we maintain that his very ignorance forms a head, when his baptizer is either a bad head or none at all? |
45843 | Can you reply in turn that you know nothing of Donatus? |
45843 | Catholic, the wicked, can not be saved, 105, 106; ought we to prefer a, of an abandoned life, to a blameless heretic? |
45843 | Could it be, then, that he was suddenly changed to cruelty, when, on descending from the mount, he ordered so many thousands to be slain? |
45843 | Did He not commend the seat of Moses, and maintain the honour of the seat, while He convicted those that sat in it? |
45843 | Did Optatus, whom you knew, make you a thief by being your colleague, or not? |
45843 | Did he live because faith was in his company? |
45843 | Did the Church not exist at all before Agrippinus, with whom that new kind of system began, at variance with all previous custom? |
45843 | Did the dead hurt him who was living in unity? |
45843 | Did the sacrilege of schismatics defile Cyprian, or did it not? |
45843 | Do men gather grapes of thorns? |
45843 | Do none die well known among you to be given to such things, or openly indulging in them? |
45843 | Do not those very men kiss your heads, on whose heads you pass so serious a judgment by this interpretation which you place upon the passage? |
45843 | Do you not hear the words of another Scripture,"In sin did my mother conceive me? |
45843 | Do you not yet understand that whatever you allege against us you allege against His words? |
45843 | Do you not, when you hear this, answer_ Amen_, and by saying this in a loud voice, place your seal on the king''s decree by a holy and solemn act?" |
45843 | Do you perceive of how devilish a nature your pride is? |
45843 | Do you see at length how that sentence of yours, like an empty bladder, has rattled not only with a meaningless sound, but on your own head? |
45843 | Do you wish to know which of these actions is conducive to Christian peace? |
45843 | Does he not know what he says? |
45843 | Does it at all follow that we say, The man himself also is truthful, because we say, This sacrament is true? |
45843 | Does it, because it fears the shortlived fires of the furnace for a few, therefore abandon all to the eternal fires of hell? |
45843 | Does not the same apostle say,"To be carnally- minded is death? |
45843 | Drunkenness, can it exist alone, without involving other sins? |
45843 | Faith, or guilt? |
45843 | For I ask of you of whom it was that the Apostle Paul said this? |
45843 | For I would ask whether you use the Lord''s prayer in your devotions? |
45843 | For as I seem to be hard pressed when it is said to me,"Does then a heretic confer remission of sins?" |
45843 | For as to what Jeremiah says--"Why do those who grieve me prevail against me? |
45843 | For do you not, to the utmost of your power, strive to slay the Lord Himself, since even to Himself you will not yield? |
45843 | For does any one represent fictitious children to a man who wishes for an heir? |
45843 | For has he in any way said, If I do it against my will, then shall I not be a dispenser of the gospel? |
45843 | For he says to them,"Was Paul crucified for you? |
45843 | For how do you know what feelings he entertains towards you whom you suppose to be cruel? |
45843 | For how does He draw them to Him if He leaves them to themselves, so that each should choose what he pleases? |
45843 | For how does the apostle himself come to say so much about the sins of schisms and heresies? |
45843 | For if he was a persecutor, why do you answer Amen to the words of a persecutor? |
45843 | For if heresy is of God, it may have the divine favour; but if it be not of God, how can it either have or confer on any one the grace of God?" |
45843 | For if that closed garden can contain the thorns of the devil, why can not the fountain of Christ equally flow beyond the garden''s bounds? |
45843 | For if you have sin, who is there that shall pray for you, according to your interpretation of the words? |
45843 | For if you were to ask of me what number two is, singular or plural, what could I answer, except that it was plural? |
45843 | For if you wish to bring forth proofs from holy Scripture, will you bring forth even those which you can not find therein? |
45843 | For it is written in Solomon,''He that is washed by one dead, what availeth his washing? |
45843 | For the Lord Christ says,''If a man shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul, what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? |
45843 | For the prophet David says, speaking in the person of Christ,''Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? |
45843 | For the sheep might say to the shepherd with equal absurdity, If I do wrong in straying from the flock, why do you search after me? |
45843 | For this, too, the same apostle says:"What agreement hath the temple of God with idols? |
45843 | For was it not before Christ was born inf the world that the Maccabees, and the three children, and Daniel, did and suffered what you told of them? |
45843 | For what assistance from the laws rendered by the civil powers was ever of any avail against them? |
45843 | For what could he have said, except that the charges brought against Silvanus were false? |
45843 | For what is it that we abominate in heretics except their blasphemies? |
45843 | For what man can feel secure about a man, when it is written,"Cursed be the man that trusteth in man? |
45843 | For what reason, except that he could not find any mist dark enough to deceive the minds of even the slowest and sleepiest of men? |
45843 | For what says He? |
45843 | For what shall be forgiven to one free from sin? |
45843 | For what should he endeavour to say, when, whatever course he chose, he was sure to be defeated? |
45843 | For when have you ever had the power without using it? |
45843 | For whence is that which you do not understand:"Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness; and let him reprove me?" |
45843 | For where is what you quoted written? |
45843 | For which of our party is there who would desire, I do not say that one of them should perish, but should even lose any of his possessions? |
45843 | For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? |
45843 | For who can be ignorant that the primacy of his apostleship is to be preferred to any episcopate in the world? |
45843 | For who can fail to see that what I say is true? |
45843 | For who can possibly love us more than Christ, who laid down His life for His sheep? |
45843 | For who could have believed that he would have brought forward words which tell so much for us against himself? |
45843 | For who expects in these days that those on whom hands are laid that they may receive the Holy Spirit should forthwith begin to speak with tongues? |
45843 | For why, when free- will is given by God to man, should adulteries be punished by the laws, and sacrilege allowed? |
45843 | For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
45843 | For"what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?" |
45843 | For, to say nothing of your other faults, do the drunken form a portion of the sober, or are the covetous reckoned among the portion of the wise? |
45843 | Further, if Egypt be not Paradise, how can the water of Paradise be in Egypt? |
45843 | Further, if even the deceitful have the true baptism, how do they have it who possess it in truthfulness? |
45843 | Further, if heresy be not the Church, how can the baptism of the Church exist among heretics?" |
45843 | Further, since the sand is not the Church, how can baptism exist with those who build upon the sand by hearing the words of Christ and doing them not? |
45843 | Granted that he ought to have done so; but, as a matter of fact, he did not, or he was not able: what is your verdict about him? |
45843 | Has the devil what is his within the unity of the Church, and shall Christ not have what is His without? |
45843 | Have all the workers of wickedness no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread? |
45843 | Have they anything to urge in their defence except the plea,"We choose to have it so?" |
45843 | Have we both won the victory, or are we both defeated? |
45843 | Hear then the words of Peter, where he says,"What glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently? |
45843 | Him whom you condemn? |
45843 | Him whom you have made a murderer? |
45843 | Him whom you slay? |
45843 | How does a murderer cleanse and sanctify the water? |
45843 | How then can they have baptism, or how can they administer it in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost? |
45843 | How then do you baptize in the name of the Trinity? |
45843 | How then is there in you that charity which rejoices not in iniquity? |
45843 | How then was it that Cyprian, and so many of his colleagues, did not perish? |
45843 | How then was it, that though they were not baptized, their sins remained not on their heads? |
45843 | How then were those in unity who were not at peace? |
45843 | I ask, where shall we find means to cleanse it? |
45843 | I ask, who is there that can say that we have chosen what is evil, except one who shall say that Christ taught what was evil? |
45843 | I grant that it is so; but what has this to do with the question of repeating baptism? |
45843 | I think I hear some one saying,"do you proceed to tell us what Cyprian wrote to Jubaianus?" |
45843 | If he was cleansed, I ask from what source? |
45843 | If innocence is on your side, why do you persecute us with the sword? |
45843 | If it did not, then by what offence on the part of others can the guiltless possibly be denied, if the sacrilege of schism can not defile them? |
45843 | If it is the foe of Christianity that hears such things as these, what then are they from whom he hears them? |
45843 | If it was rightly done, why do they accuse the world because they are so received? |
45843 | If men of gentle temper appropriate the term of light, where shall the madness of the Circumcelliones be esteemed to be, excepting in the darkness? |
45843 | If not in the ark, how in the Church? |
45843 | If such a union with the party of Maximianus does not pollute the Donatists, how can the mere report concerning the Africans pollute the foreigners? |
45843 | If the one party held the truth, were they infected by the others, or no? |
45843 | If the others held the truth, were they infected by the first, or no? |
45843 | If there was contamination, the Church even then ceased to exist; answer me, therefore, whence came ye forth hither? |
45843 | If they are Christians, why are they not in the Church of God? |
45843 | If they are Christians, why are they not on that rock on which the Church is built? |
45843 | If they are not there, where will they be except on the left hand? |
45843 | If they say,"They were received for the sake of peace,"our answer is,"Why then do ye not acknowledge the only true and full peace? |
45843 | If you answer, What is that to us? |
45843 | If you answer, You do not prove the fact, why may not the whole world answer you in turn, Neither do you prove it? |
45843 | If you are innocent, why do you speak against the testimony of Christ? |
45843 | If you say he did not, I ask why he did not,--because he was not a thief himself? |
45843 | If you say that you were right in persecuting them, why are you unwilling to suffer the like yourselves? |
45843 | If"whosoever can not give the Holy Spirit can not baptize,"why does the murderer baptize within the Church? |
45843 | If, therefore, we say that sins are not remitted there, how is he regenerate who is baptized among them? |
45843 | In what manner, indeed, do your dead men baptize according to your interpretation? |
45843 | In what way then do you wish us to be the instructors of kings? |
45843 | Is Christ divided? |
45843 | Is Christ divided? |
45843 | Is he like a merchant ship, to discharge one burden, and to take on him another? |
45843 | Is it I who suffer your violence, or you who persecute the innocent?" |
45843 | Is it a lighter matter that a soul should not keep faith with God, than that a woman should be faithless to her husband? |
45843 | Is it because they are not outside? |
45843 | Is it because they are worse from the very fact that they are outside? |
45843 | Is it because they had not lost what they had before received? |
45843 | Is it not most truly written,"For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee deceit? |
45843 | Is it not rather the case that he not only involves himself in guilt, but is held to be a forger, and that which he composes a forgery?" |
45843 | Is it not that praise of charity in which you indulge that commonly proves your calumny in the clearest light of truth? |
45843 | Is it not usual for the choice of two alternatives to be offered to an antagonist, when it is impossible that he should adopt both? |
45843 | Is it that outside it is unlawfully transmitted? |
45843 | Is it that you might all share equally in bearing the burden of schism? |
45843 | Is it the case, because the best morals are chosen by freedom of will, that therefore the worst morals are not punished by integrity of law? |
45843 | Is that wrong action when kings minister to the witness of Christ in defence of the Church? |
45843 | Is this at all like"What if the sky should fall?" |
45843 | It had been enough for the Christian faith that these things should be done by the Jews: why do you, wretched men, do these others in addition?" |
45843 | It is surely not the city which can not be hid; and whence is this, except that it is not founded on the mountain? |
45843 | Might not this be said with all the semblance of truth? |
45843 | Must we do such impious despite to the beard of Aaron and to the skirts of his garments, as to suppose that they are to be placed there? |
45843 | Must we then hold that anything is true, because a lying representation is given of it? |
45843 | My wound is grievous; whence shall I be healed? |
45843 | My wound is stubborn, whence shall I be healed? |
45843 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
45843 | O how you would wish that you could say, It was indeed ill done that supplication should so be made to Julian; but what has that to do with us? |
45843 | Of these I would ask, whether by coming to their sea they were restored to life, or whether they are still dead there? |
45843 | Once more, whom do you teach? |
45843 | Or are you indeed endowed with such an eloquence, that you can show to us some innocence which yet committeth sin? |
45843 | Or are you not such as the common voice of Africa proclaims him to have been? |
45843 | Or can it be that the murderer is holy? |
45843 | Or could anything be said in stronger terms, than that covetousness should be called idolatry, as the same apostle declared? |
45843 | Or do you say, Even if I am guilty of sacrilege, I ought not to be slain by you? |
45843 | Or do you say, I did not consent with him, because his deeds were displeasing to me? |
45843 | Or do you say, I have not made a schism? |
45843 | Or do you say, I saw in him the bishop, I did not see in him the thief? |
45843 | Or do you say, Theft is one thing, delivery of the sacred books or persecution is another? |
45843 | Or do you serve God in such wise that we should be murdered at your hands? |
45843 | Or do you think that you are not to be compared to that fratricide? |
45843 | Or how can they baptize any one in the name of Christ whom Christ Himself declares to be His enemies? |
45843 | Or how can those baptize any one in the name of Christ whom Christ Himself declares to be His enemies?" |
45843 | Or how comes that verse in the Psalms,"If of a truth ye love justice, judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? |
45843 | Or how, again, can you baptize in the name of the Holy Ghost, when the Holy Ghost came only on those apostles who were not guilty of treason? |
45843 | Or if the Jews themselves, against whom the Lord directed His reproach, were to believe in Him, would they not be allowed to be baptized? |
45843 | Or if you call us guilty, why do you, who are yourselves innocent, seek for our company?" |
45843 | Or is it perhaps that schismatics, when received without baptism, bring no infection, but that it is brought by those who deliver up the sacred books? |
45843 | Or is it rather your heads which should be healed, who run so grievously astray? |
45843 | Or is it that it is not in respect of man''s merit, but of the sacrament of baptism itself, that it can not be given outside? |
45843 | Or is robbery not unrighteousness? |
45843 | Or is the incapacity for seeing this an element in your ruin? |
45843 | Or must we even look on crime as lighter when committed with threatening of the sword than with treachery of the tongue? |
45843 | Or was it because they were contained within the unity of the Church? |
45843 | Or will you perchance endeavour to prove the truth of what you say? |
45843 | Otherwise another man might say: What can be said of the man who approves the baptism of the unjust, save that he communicates with the unjust? |
45843 | Otherwise he would have said,"You forgave me it before; why do you again demand it?" |
45843 | Ought we then to be thought unreasonably persistent, if we desire to consider this same epistle by which Jubaianus was convinced? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"Accordingly, as we have said, the Lord Christ cried,''Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"But to pass rapidly through these minor points: can he be said to lay down the law who is not a magistrate of the court? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"But what have you to do with the kings of this world, in whom Christianity has never found anything save envy towards her? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"But wherein do you fulfil the commandments of God? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"Did the apostles persecute any one? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"For what kind of faith is that which is in you which is devoid of charity? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"If you wish that we should be your friends, why do you drag us to you against our will? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"Is it then the case that God has ordered the massacre even of schismatics? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"Lastly, what is the justification of persecution? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"The Lord Christ cries again from heaven to Paul,''Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"To you the prophet says,''Peace, peace; and where is there peace? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"Under what law, then, do you make out that you are Christians, seeing that you do what is contrary to the law?" |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"Where is the law of God? |
45843 | PETILIANUS said:"Where is the saying of the Lord Christ,''Whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also? |
45843 | Privatus of Sufes said:"What can be said of the man who approves the baptism of heretics, save that he communicates with heretics?" |
45843 | Quintus of Aggya[581] said:"He who has a thing can give it; but what can the heretics give, who are well known to have nothing?" |
45843 | Rogatianus of Nova[574] said:"Christ established the Church, the devil heresy: how can the synagogue of Satan have the baptism of Christ?" |
45843 | See you not that I too have proved it, if this amounts to proof? |
45843 | Shall I not rather call you a most unrighteous communion, so long as you pollute souls?" |
45843 | Should you think that you were going beyond the words of the gospel if you should say, All they that take the cudgel shall perish with the cudgel? |
45843 | Since"no one can give what he does not possess himself,"how does a murderer give the Holy Spirit? |
45843 | Tell me, by what means? |
45843 | The answer to which is, That all are the opponents of Christ, to whom, on their saying,"Lord, have we not in Thy name done many wonderful things?" |
45843 | Then I too will rejoin again in your own words, What is that to us? |
45843 | Then he goes on to ask,"Who is the man, and from what corner has he started up, that you propose to us?" |
45843 | There was no one to say to him, Dare you seek protection at the hand of soldiers, when your Lord was dragged by them to undergo His suffering? |
45843 | They might with more right say to you, Why did you seek out us? |
45843 | Those then who were corrupted by their evil communications, and followed them, were not they likewise falling with them into the pit? |
45843 | To come next to what you think you say against us with so much point:"If we do ill in urging this, why do you seek after us?" |
45843 | To him we answer: How then comes it that it may be where the rock is not, but only sand; seeing that the Church is on the rock, and not on sand? |
45843 | To him we answer: What, is God among the covetous? |
45843 | To him we answer: Why does not he also make two baptisms who maintains that the unrighteous also can baptize? |
45843 | To this we answer: Are the unrighteous Christians or not? |
45843 | To whom did he betray Him? |
45843 | Towards whom did Christ use violence? |
45843 | Victorious of Thabraca[494] said:"If heretics may baptize, and give remission of sins, why do we destroy their credit, and call them heretics?" |
45843 | Was John not contained within that unity, the friend of the Bridegroom, the preparer of the way of the Lord, the baptizer of the Lord Himself? |
45843 | Was anything wanting to their birth to whom the apostle says,"I have fed you with milk, and not with meat, even as babes in Christ?" |
45843 | Was he cleansed, or was he not? |
45843 | Was it because Optatus was in unity with you? |
45843 | Was it not the same lesson which those persecutors of the Christians wished to teach, by resisting whom the crown of martyrdom was gained? |
45843 | Was not he too a murderer at your suggestion, who, like king Ahab, whom we showed to have been persuaded by a woman, slew a poor and righteous man? |
45843 | We answer: How is the covetous man heard, or the robber, and usurer, and murderer? |
45843 | We answer: What of those who, when they are baptized, turn themselves to the Lord with their lips and not with their heart? |
45843 | We ask from whom he is to receive faith who is baptized by one that is faithless? |
45843 | We make answer to them: How long do you rest your support on man? |
45843 | Were not all of these pagans, persecuting generally the Christian name on behalf of their idols? |
45843 | Were not the people of Sodom heathens, that is to say, Gentiles? |
45843 | Were they not dead who said,"Let us eat and drink, for to- morrow we die? |
45843 | Were they within, or without? |
45843 | Were you afraid that you should be indicted for high treason? |
45843 | What Macarius, what soldier was pursuing you? |
45843 | What advantage can you derive from the sobriety of Donatus, when you are defiled by the drunkenness of the Circumcelliones? |
45843 | What agents ever exacted payment of a debt which they had been unwilling to discharge? |
45843 | What are ye doing? |
45843 | What avaricious man ever wished for another to share his possessions? |
45843 | What could admit of speedier proof? |
45843 | What could be more kind? |
45843 | What did the Jews do to Him? |
45843 | What fellowship was there, then, on the part of your righteousness with his unrighteousness, when you approached together to the same altar? |
45843 | What has this to do with the question under discussion? |
45843 | What have we here to do with Pilus and Furius,[1086] who defended the cause of injustice against justice? |
45843 | What have you proved? |
45843 | What have you shown? |
45843 | What have you to say to this? |
45843 | What if Constantine had not lived to enjoy so long a reign, and such prolonged prosperity, who was the first to pass many decrees against your errors? |
45843 | What if another were to say as follows: One faith, one baptism, but of the righteous only, to whom alone authority is given to baptize? |
45843 | What if another were to say: If the unrighteous may baptize, and give remission of sins, why do we destroy their credit, and call them unrighteous? |
45843 | What if he approached baptism itself in deceit? |
45843 | What is it to all the earth, which sings a new song? |
45843 | What is it to all the nations of the earth? |
45843 | What is it to the seed of Abraham, in which all the nations of the earth are blessed? |
45843 | What is it to those who praise the name of the Lord from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same? |
45843 | What is it, then, that we were waiting for? |
45843 | What kind of man, then, must you be, who fear to mention those by name, who, as you say, have perished? |
45843 | What madness is this that you display? |
45843 | What master was there who was not compelled to live in dread of his own servant, if he had put himself under the guardianship of the Donatists? |
45843 | What more learned definition could be given? |
45843 | What official ever ventured so much as to breathe in their presence? |
45843 | What other answer can he give, but that it is ill to belong to the party of Donatus, and not to the unity of the Catholic Church? |
45843 | What says Cyprian? |
45843 | What shall we say of them who, by their own showing, are unquestionably traitors? |
45843 | What shall we say then? |
45843 | What then can the name of Donatus profit you, when all of you alike are polluted by Optatus? |
45843 | What then is the cause, except that the baptism which Paul ordered them to receive was not the same as that which was given at the hands of John? |
45843 | What then is the function of brotherly love? |
45843 | What then is there unfitting, if, according to a similar will of the Lord, the Catholics now hold the things which formerly the heretics used to have? |
45843 | What then was the use of their being quoted, if they had nothing to do with the matter? |
45843 | What then will they do whose heads were anointed by one guilty of a capital offence? |
45843 | What then will you make of your interpretation? |
45843 | What then, have you proved it? |
45843 | What then, ye Donatists, what have ye to say to this? |
45843 | What then, you will ask, did David really say? |
45843 | What then? |
45843 | What then? |
45843 | What then? |
45843 | What then? |
45843 | What therefore is likely to become of you who have burned the most holy law of our God and Judge? |
45843 | What therefore is likely to become of you who have burned the most holy law of our God and Judge?" |
45843 | What, according to your views, are you profited by the innocence of Donatus, when you are stained by the rapacity of Optatus? |
45843 | What, does he who holds communion with one who does this not hold communion with a sinner? |
45843 | What, then, do they venture to say, when their mouth is closed[63] by the force of truth, with which they will not agree? |
45843 | What, then, he says, do we receive with you, when we come over to your side? |
45843 | What, therefore, must we say of those whom he persuaded with success? |
45843 | When does unrighteousness find for herself such advocates as these, through whose madness she is esteemed victorious? |
45843 | When he gives this warning, O ye miserable men, why do you sit in that seat? |
45843 | When he hears,"Every good tree bringeth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit: do men gather grapes of thorns? |
45843 | When it is said to a Christian,"Be a Christian,"what other lesson is taught, save a denial that he is a Christian? |
45843 | When will you see God, who are possessed with blindness in the impure malice of your hearts?" |
45843 | When you falsely declare to the kings of this world that we hold your opinions, do you not make up a falsehood?" |
45843 | When, therefore, I heard this, what could I do but give thanks to Christ, who had compelled the man to make confession? |
45843 | When, therefore, these were received with their followers, who gave to those whom they baptized what previously they did not have? |
45843 | Whence also the Apostle Paul finds fault with those who said they were of Paul, saying,"Was Paul crucified for you? |
45843 | Whence also the apostle says,"Without were fightings, within were fears;"[995] and again,"Who is weak, and I am not weak? |
45843 | Whence then did they receive it? |
45843 | Whence then should I receive faith, seeing that I was baptized unwittingly by one that was faithless? |
45843 | Whence then sprang the origin of Donatus? |
45843 | Where is that other saying of the same apostle,''In stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft? |
45843 | Where is the fortitude that marks the Circumcelliones? |
45843 | Where is the saying of the Apostle Paul,''If a man smite you in the face?'' |
45843 | Where is therefore the fulfilment of your threatening and tremendous promise of so many who should support your argument? |
45843 | Where then shall we find means to cleanse his conscience? |
45843 | Where then were these wicked men whom the apostle thus condemns, and in whom there was so much that was good to cause him to rejoice? |
45843 | Where, then, is the Church? |
45843 | Where, then, is the Church? |
45843 | Wherefore did ye separate yourselves? |
45843 | Wherefore have ye erected an altar in opposition to the whole world? |
45843 | Wherefore in such a case did you not hearken to the voice of the Lord, when He says,"But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil? |
45843 | Wherefore, then, have ye severed yourselves? |
45843 | Wherefore, then, have ye severed yourselves? |
45843 | Who are they, however, that have enacted laws by which your audacity could be repressed? |
45843 | Who betrayed Christ? |
45843 | Who dared even threaten one who sought his ruin with punishment? |
45843 | Who dared to exact payment of a debt from one who consumed his stores, or from any debtor whatsoever, that sought their assistance or protection? |
45843 | Who deny it? |
45843 | Who ever endeavoured to avenge those who were put to death in their massacres? |
45843 | Who is it, therefore, that he calls a sinner? |
45843 | Who that was inflamed with the desire of empire, or elated by the pride of its possession, ever wished to have a partner? |
45843 | Who was running after you, I pray? |
45843 | Who will be found so utterly mad as to assert this? |
45843 | Who will be mad enough to assert this? |
45843 | Who will maintain this, when both the origin of, and perseverance in schism consists in nothing else save hatred of the brethren? |
45843 | Who will say so much as this? |
45843 | Who would be mad enough to assert that? |
45843 | Who would be satisfied with this, I ask? |
45843 | Who would say such things as this if they had the fear of God before their eyes? |
45843 | Whom did He compel? |
45843 | Whom do you teach,_ traditor_? |
45843 | Why are those who were baptized by him not said to have been baptized by one dead? |
45843 | Why did not their falseness as men corrupt in them the truth of God? |
45843 | Why did not your party examine that baptizer, as John, in the opinion of Petilianus, was examined? |
45843 | Why did they who were baptized by that hypocrite, whose sins were concealed, fail to try the spirit, to prove that it was not of God? |
45843 | Why did you declare that only righteousness found a place with him? |
45843 | Why did you seek to recover the basilicas from him? |
45843 | Why do they pass the eyes of pride over those parts only which are sound? |
45843 | Why do those who make me sad prevail against me? |
45843 | Why do we both suffer and cause unnecessary delay? |
45843 | Why do you ask me? |
45843 | Why do you call the apostolic chair a seat of the scornful? |
45843 | Why do you disturb the system of belief in respect of matters without reason? |
45843 | Why do you make an outcry before you prove your case? |
45843 | Why do you not allow that it is always Christ who gives faith, for the purpose of making a man a Christian by giving it? |
45843 | Why do you not allow that it is always Christ who gives faith, for the purpose of making a man a Christian by giving it? |
45843 | Why do you turn away your life from errors by arguments of folly? |
45843 | Why does he say to this same Jubaianus that he is not doing anything new or sudden, but only what had been established by Agrippinus? |
45843 | Why does your tongue resound before your character is approved? |
45843 | Why not? |
45843 | Why should we go over our argument again? |
45843 | Why should we maintain the contrary? |
45843 | Why then are heretics alone said to be incapable of possessing baptism, which is possessed by the very partners in their condemnation? |
45843 | Why then could they not also transmit outside the Church what they were able to possess outside? |
45843 | Why then did you thus run headlong with your eyes shut, so that when you said,"What have you to do with the kings of this world?" |
45843 | Why then have you not made mention of our emperors, that is to say, of emperors of our communion? |
45843 | Why then is a man baptized again after receiving baptism from the wheat, and not after receiving it from the chaff? |
45843 | Why then should I press you further? |
45843 | Why then should we, while defending His house to the best of the abilities given us by God, expect to meet with any other treatment from His enemies? |
45843 | Why then were they able both to have and to give true baptism? |
45843 | Why then, after this, do you claim to yourself a bishopric as the heir of a worse traitor? |
45843 | Why therefore can they not baptize outside? |
45843 | Why therefore did he add what he made so much of adding,--the word_ wittingly_, which he calumniously accused me of having suppressed? |
45843 | Why therefore do you puff out your cheeks before you have shown the righteousness of your deeds? |
45843 | Why were their names brought in, except that they might make a diversion in favour of a man who had nothing to say? |
45843 | Why, he says, do I not even do penance in your body? |
45843 | Why, then, did you separate yourselves from the innocent? |
45843 | Why, then, do they baptize? |
45843 | Why, then, do they baptize? |
45843 | Why, then, while ye fear those whom ye have rebaptized, do ye grudge yourselves and them the entrance to salvation? |
45843 | Why, therefore, should not the Church use force in compelling her lost sons to return, if the lost sons compelled others to their destruction? |
45843 | Will you bring it about that those arms shall be no longer ours, because you endeavour to appropriate them first? |
45843 | Will you show the party of Donatus, unknown to the countless nations to whom Christ is known? |
45843 | XXXV.--Was the water administered by this man not lying? |
45843 | You will say, What has that to do with us? |
45843 | [ 1005] What then is meant by the head in that priesthood, what by the beard, what by the skirts of the garments? |
45843 | [ 1108] Was it that He was fleeing from him, but at the same time not deserting His sacraments, though ministered by him? |
45843 | [ 1220] Where is what the Donatists were wo nt to cry: Man is at liberty to believe or not believe? |
45843 | [ 1255] Why, then, he says, do you not baptize me, that you might wash me from my sins? |
45843 | [ 28] Did he lack anything in respect of baptism, of the gospel, of the sacraments? |
45843 | [ 353] How can darkness bless the oil? |
45843 | [ 354] In the question,"Dost thou believe in eternal life and remission of sins through the holy Church?" |
45843 | [ 56] But what is really fruit, save that new offspring, of which He further says,"A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another? |
45843 | [ 85] Who will now doubt that that was the worse crime which received the heavier punishment? |
45843 | [ 863] But I would ask by what earthly laws it is ordained that the followers of Maximianus should be driven from their place? |
45843 | [ 871] Do you say again, What is that to us? |
45843 | [ 883] But when the prophet says to you,"Peace, peace; and where is there peace?" |
45843 | [ 911] But what else was it, save such deeds as these of yours, that made it necessary for the very laws to be passed of which you complain? |
45843 | [ 924] But when you persecute our ancestors with false witness even now that they are dead, whence have you received this form? |
45843 | [ 963] But there was no one yet to say to him, What have you to do( not with kings, but) with tribunes and the arms of kings? |
45843 | [ 964] In that case, when would you make an end of talking such nonsense as you do, seeing that even now you are unwilling to hold your tongues? |
45843 | [ 971] But if he was not a persecutor, why do you call those persecutors who deter you from the madness of blasphemy? |
45843 | [ 993] How then could Jeremiah have said this, as though he desired to be baptized, and sought to avoid being baptized by impious men? |
45843 | and are they not wrongly taken when bishops divide unity? |
45843 | and are those to place their trust in princes who were disposed to place it in the Lord? |
45843 | and how much less the whole world, whom you calumniate with poisonous mouth? |
45843 | and in Thy name done many wonderful works? |
45843 | and in Thy name have cast out devils? |
45843 | and is it not wrong action when bishops contradict the witness of Christ in order to deny the Church? |
45843 | and what communion hath light with darkness? |
45843 | and what concord hath Christ with Belial? |
45843 | and whence does he receive true faith, who is baptized unwittingly by one that is faithless? |
45843 | and who restored to themselves what they had lost? |
45843 | and why do we not say, This sacrament is true, as Paul said,"This witness is true?" |
45843 | are they not also condemned of themselves to whom it was said,"For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself? |
45843 | but who are in the society of the just? |
45843 | can not you even yet call to mind that only those are sought after who have perished? |
45843 | do not they possess an adulterous mind? |
45843 | from heaven, or of men? |
45843 | from what land did he spring? |
45843 | if then the baptizer is not his origin and root and head, who is it from whom he receives faith? |
45843 | or because you disapprove of it? |
45843 | or because you do not know it? |
45843 | or did Christ betray any one?" |
45843 | or does it rather save all whom it can, even though those whom it can not save should perish in their own infatuation? |
45843 | or from what sea did he emerge? |
45843 | or from what sky did he fall? |
45843 | or is the oil of the fornicator not the oil of the sinner? |
45843 | or is what he lays down to be considered law, when in the character of a private person he disturbs public rights? |
45843 | or that it may be of avail in healing a man, but not in consecrating baptism? |
45843 | or that, if they shall advance, and correct the vanity of their carnal opinions, they must seek again what they had received? |
45843 | or were ye baptized in the name of Donatus? |
45843 | or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? |
45843 | or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? |
45843 | or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? |
45843 | or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? |
45843 | or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? |
45843 | or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?" |
45843 | or were you baptized in the name of Paul? |
45843 | or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? |
45843 | or when was that either suggested to our Lord, or answered by our Lord? |
45843 | or who would say, that because such men had or gave the baptism of Christ, that it was therefore violated by their iniquities? |
45843 | or would any one look for true heirs in the falsehood of a picture? |
45843 | shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect? |
45843 | than martyrdom? |
45843 | that a man should confess Christ before men, and be baptized in his own blood? |
45843 | that it is much the same as if I had said, What if the sky should fall? |
45843 | was Paul crucified for you? |
45843 | was Paul crucified for you? |
45843 | were his sins remitted, or were they not? |
45843 | what more humble? |
45843 | what more manifest? |
45843 | what more manifest? |
45843 | what will you show? |
45843 | what would then remain for you, except that, if you would, you should show your love of peace, or otherwise should hold your tongues? |
45843 | whence then does he receive his faith? |
45843 | where is the origin from which he springs? |
45843 | where is the origin from which he springs? |
45843 | where is the root of which he is a shoot? |
45843 | where is the root of which he is a shoot? |
45843 | where is your Christianity, if you not only commit murders and put men to death, but also order such things to be done?" |
45843 | where the head which is his starting- point? |
45843 | where the head which is his starting- point? |
45843 | who is offended, and I burn not? |
45843 | why did you thus present a petition to the other? |
45843 | why do not you, when you reproach with any one whom you will, not listen in turn to our answer, We too know nothing of it? |
6048 | A wounded spirit who can bear? |
6048 | Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that he shall dealin judgment"with thee?" |
6048 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
6048 | Was not this man, think you, a giant? 6048 [ 257] How did these sturdy rogues and their fellows make David groan, mourn, and roar? |
6048 | ''And now why tarriest thou? |
6048 | ''And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth- Gilead? |

6048 | ''Are we better than they? |
6048 | ''Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of?'' |
6048 | ''Be ye not,''saith it,''unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
6048 | ''Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? |
6048 | ''Besides,''quoth the old gentleman,''should the Prince now, as he receives the petition, ask him and say, What is thy name? |

6048 | After this He led them into His garden, where was great variety of flowers; and he said, Do you see all these? |
6048 | After this, she thought she saw two very ill- favoured ones standing by her bedside, and saying, What shall we do with this woman? |
6048 | Again, Did not Moses write of the Saviour that was to come afterwards into the world? |
6048 | Again, How basely do they behave themselves, how unlike are they to win, that think it enough to keep company with the hindmost? |
6048 | Again, Was the man a good man? |
6048 | Again, shall God, who is the truth, Say there is heaven and hell And shall men play that trick of youth To say, But who can tell? |
6048 | Again,''If they hear not Moses and the prophets,''& c. As if he had said, Thou wouldst have me send one from the dead unto them; what needs that? |
6048 | Again,''Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? |
6048 | Ah, Mind, why didst thou do those things That now do work my woe? |
6048 | Ah, Will, why was thou thus inclin''d Me ever to undo? |
6048 | All our anxious inquiries should be, Is Emmanuel in Heart- castle? |
6048 | All they,''that is, that are in hell, shall say,''Art thou also become weak as we? |
6048 | All this is taught us by the spoons; for what need is there of spoons where there is nothing to eat but strong meat? |
6048 | Also your neighbours are diligent for things that will perish; and will you be slothful for things that will endure for ever? |
6048 | Also, what if she had laid wait round about him, to espy if he was not otherwise behind her back than he was before her face? |
6048 | Also, wouldst thou know what a sad thing it is for any to turn their backs upon the gospel of Jesus Christ? |
6048 | Am I a new creature in Him? |
6048 | Amaziah having sinned against the Lord, he sends to him a prophet to reprove him; but Amaziah says,''Forbear, why shouldest thou be smitten?'' |
6048 | And a new heart and a new man must have objects of delight that are new, and like himself;''Old things are passed away''; why? |
6048 | And again,''When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?'' |
6048 | And albeit, saith Satan, thou prayest sometimes, yet is not thy heart possessed with a belief that God will not regard thee? |
6048 | And are not all His holy doctrines also stamped with the same Divine sanction? |
6048 | And are not these pleasant sights? |
6048 | And as he went down deeper, he said,''Grave, where is thy victory?'' |
6048 | And canst thou tell me who saves thee? |
6048 | And could you at any time, with ease, get off the guilt of sin,[275] when, by any of these ways, it came upon you? |
6048 | And did he do it before he had need to do it? |
6048 | And did he do thus indeed? |
6048 | And did he not behave himself valiantly? |
6048 | And did none of these things discourage you? |
6048 | And did the Father reveal His Son to you? |
6048 | And did the old man give him money to set up with? |
6048 | And did they make them welcome? |
6048 | And did you ask him what man this was, and how you must be justified by Him? |
6048 | And did you do as you were bidden? |
6048 | And did you endeavour to mend? |
6048 | And did you pray to God that He would bless your counsel to them? |
6048 | And did you presently fall under the power of this conviction? |
6048 | And did you think he spake true? |
6048 | And did you think yourself well then? |
6048 | And did you, said he, when I came up against this town of Mansoul, heartily wish that I might not have the victory over you? |
6048 | And didst thou fear the lake and pit? |
6048 | And do I desire to be found in Him; knowing by the Word, and feeling by the teaching of His Spirit, that I am totally lost in myself? |
6048 | And do the things that truly are divine, Before thee more than gold or rubies shine? |
6048 | And do they in thy conscience bear more sway To govern thee in faith and holiness, Than thou canst with thy heart and mouth express? |
6048 | And do you think that the words of your book are certainly true? |
6048 | And do you think the Lord will sit still, as I may say, and let thy tongue run as it lists, and yet never bring you to an account for the same? |
6048 | And dost thou think that these are but threatenings, or that our King has not power to execute his words? |
6048 | And dost thou think, wast thou there now, that thou art able to wrestle with the judgment of God? |
6048 | And fools hate knowledge?'' |
6048 | And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding- garment?'' |
6048 | And how did he carry it there? |
6048 | And how did his good wife take it, when she saw that he had no amendment, but that he returned with the dog to his vomit, to his old courses again? |
6048 | And how did you do then? |
6048 | And how do they deceive souls? |
6048 | And how doth God the Holy Ghost save thee? |
6048 | And how if thou shouldst come but one quarter of an hour too late? |
6048 | And how many did Samson slay with the jaw- bone of an ass? |
6048 | And how seldom do they trouble their heads, to have their minds taken up with thoughts of the better? |
6048 | And how then? |
6048 | And how was He revealed unto you? |
6048 | And how were they served that are mentioned in the 13th of Luke,''for staying till the door was shut?'' |
6048 | And if not to think of him, while at a distance, how can you endure to be in his presence? |
6048 | And if our sun seems angry, hides his face, Shall it go down, shall night possess this place? |
6048 | And if they are mute when dealt with by vessels of clay, what will they do when they shall be rebuked by the flames of a devouring fire? |
6048 | And if they shall not escape that neglect, then how shall they escape that reject and turn their back upon''so great a salvation?'' |
6048 | And if thou dost, thou wilt run into the bosom of Christ and of God, and then what harm will that do thee? |
6048 | And if, as unto Solomon, God should Propound to thee, What wouldst thou have? |
6048 | And in the land of peace thou trustedst, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?'' |
6048 | And is it not reason that they who did this horrid villany, should have their doings laid before their faces upon the tables of their heart? |
6048 | And is it possible it should be forgotten, or that, by it, our joy, light, and heaven should not be made the sweeter to all eternity? |
6048 | And is not this, said he, a shame? |
6048 | And it was so indeed, thought Mr. Badman; was my troubles only the effects of my distemper, and because ill vapours got up into my brain? |
6048 | And look, did not I tell you? |
6048 | And must we be all alone? |
6048 | And now had he had a heart to do for Mansoul, what could he do for it or wherein could he be profitable to her? |
6048 | And sayest thou so, my dear? |
6048 | And shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive be delivered? |
6048 | And she said, Come, James, canst thou tell me who made thee? |
6048 | And she''shall be glad for them''; for what? |
6048 | And suppose they were the truly godly that made the first assault, can they be blamed? |
6048 | And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? |
6048 | And the scorners delight in their scorning? |
6048 | And then he answers himself:''Is not destruction to the wicked, and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?'' |
6048 | And then what doth he get thereby but loss and damage? |
6048 | And then,''what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?'' |
6048 | And was that all? |
6048 | And was this all? |
6048 | And what can our pretended giants do or say in comparison of these? |
6048 | And what canst thou earn a day? |
6048 | And what company shall we have there? |
6048 | And what concord hath Christ with Belial? |
6048 | And what did Badman do after his wife was dead? |
6048 | And what did they say else? |
6048 | And what did you do then? |
6048 | And what did you do then? |
6048 | And what did you reply? |
6048 | And what did you say to him? |
6048 | And what else? |
6048 | And what else? |
6048 | And what good will my vanities do, when death says he will have no nay? |
6048 | And what harm will that do thee? |
6048 | And what is it that makes you so desirous to go to Mount Zion? |
6048 | And what revenge hast thou in thy heart against every thought of disobedience? |
6048 | And what said Faithful to you then? |
6048 | And what said he then? |
6048 | And what said he then? |
6048 | And what said the neighbours to him? |
6048 | And what saw you else in the way? |
6048 | And what sayest thou to thy perverting, knowingly, the right purport and intent of the law? |
6048 | And what than fire? |
6048 | And what the son of my vows? |
6048 | And what was the other thing? |
6048 | And what was the reason you did not? |
6048 | And what, did you despair, or how? |
6048 | And when a man is down, you know, what can he do? |
6048 | And when the hand of the rulers are chief in a trespass, who can keep their people from being drowned in that trespass? |
6048 | And whereabout does he dwell? |
6048 | And whereas you ask me, Whither away? |
6048 | And who can contradict him? |
6048 | And who then shall dare to blame this our age consumed; or say that our years be cut off? |
6048 | And who with him again but they? |
6048 | And who with them but Mr. Badman? |
6048 | And whose be the sheep that feed upon them? |
6048 | And whose portrait is Bunyan describing here? |
6048 | And why candlesticks, if they were not to hold the candles? |
6048 | And why did you not bring them along with you? |
6048 | And why might they not be a type of gospel sermons? |
6048 | And why should a man so carelessly cast away himself, by giving heed to a stranger? |
6048 | And why so? |
6048 | And why? |
6048 | And wilt thou not regard? |
6048 | And with that she plucked out her letter,[28] and read it, and said to them, What now will ye say to this? |
6048 | And without this, what is to be seen in the church of God? |
6048 | And you are sure he was of this opinion? |
6048 | And you ungodly children, how are your ungodly parents that lived and died ungodly, now in the pains of hell also? |
6048 | And''will ye weary my God also?'' |
6048 | And, By what means have you so persevered therein? |
6048 | And, How got you into the way? |
6048 | And, Sir, you, as all our neighbours know, are a very observing man, pray, therefore, what do you think of them? |
6048 | And, in reason, how could it be otherwise? |
6048 | And, listening still, she thought she heard another answer it, saying-- For why? |
6048 | And, moreover, my brother, thou talkest of ease in the grave; but hast thou forgotten the hell, whither for certain the murderers go? |
6048 | And, said Christiana to Mr. Great- heart, Sir, will you do as we? |
6048 | And, therefore, what need have they that one should be sent unto them in another way? |
6048 | And,''Will ye rebel against the king?'' |
6048 | Are his feet shod with the Gospel of peace? |
6048 | Are his loins girt about with truth? |
6048 | Are his ministers slothful in tendering this unto you? |
6048 | Are my prayers lost? |
6048 | Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
6048 | Are not the seven churches in Asia called by name of candlesticks? |
6048 | Are these"spirits of just men made perfect"-the angel- ministering spirits which are sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? |
6048 | Are they not all of equal authority? |
6048 | Are they not death without, and unbelief within? |
6048 | Are they the glorified inhabitants of the Celestial City? |
6048 | Are we now almost got past the Enchanted Ground? |
6048 | Are we truly convinced of sin, and converted to Christ? |
6048 | Are you a married man? |
6048 | Are you a married man? |
6048 | Are you come out of it? |
6048 | Are you going to the heavenly country? |
6048 | Are you not sorry for what you have done? |
6048 | Are you so hasty? |
6048 | Art become freakish? |
6048 | Art bound for hell, against all wind and weather? |
6048 | Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now? |
6048 | Art thou a buyer, and do things grow dear? |
6048 | Art thou a fish, O man, art thou a fish? |
6048 | Art thou a seller, and do things grow dear? |
6048 | Art thou convinced that she is nothing more? |
6048 | Art thou got into the right way? |
6048 | Art thou in Christ''s righteousness? |
6048 | Art thou not a graceless wretch? |
6048 | Art thou not planted by the water- side? |
6048 | Art thou resolved to follow me? |
6048 | Art thou resolved to strip? |
6048 | Art thou therefore discharged and unladen of these things? |
6048 | Art thou to buy or sell? |
6048 | Art thou troubled with cross children, cross relations, cross neighbours? |
6048 | Art thou unladen of the things of this world, as pride, pleasures, profits, lusts, vanities? |
6048 | Art[ thou] resolved to follow me? |
6048 | As he saith again, Am I not an apostle? |
6048 | As if he should say, what need have they that one should be sent to them from the dead? |
6048 | As yet despise you the offers of peace, and deliverance? |
6048 | As yet will ye refuse the golden offers of Shaddai, and trust to the lies and falsehoods of Diabolus? |
6048 | Ask the rich man spoken of in the ensuing treatise, who was the fool-- he or Lazarus? |
6048 | At last there came a grave person to the gate, named Good- will, who asked who was there? |
6048 | At that Pliable began to be offended, and angrily said to his fellow, Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of? |
6048 | Aye, but Lord, what wilt thou do to quench their thirst? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou consider? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear what a striving there is between the vine- dresser and the husbandman, for thy life? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, fruitless Christian, do not thine ears tingle? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, fruitless professor, hast thou heard all these things? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, hast thou heard all these things? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, hast thou subscribed, hast thou called thyself by the name of Jacob, and surnamed thyself by the name of Israel? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, what fruit hast thou? |
6048 | Barren fig- tree, what sayest thou? |
6048 | Barren professor, dost thou hear? |
6048 | Be patient then, my brethren; but how long? |
6048 | Be ruled by me, and go back; who knows whither such a brain- sick fellow will lead you? |
6048 | Behold, I was left alone, these, where had they been?'' |
6048 | Besides, the great things that he desired, were to be delivered from going to hell, and who would, willingly? |
6048 | Besides, was the gospel so freely, so frequently, so fully tendered to thee, and yet hast thou rejected all these things? |
6048 | Brother, said Christian, what shall we do? |
6048 | But I have let myself to another, even to the King of princes; and how can I, with fairness, go back with thee? |
6048 | But I know you have made strong objections against him; prithee, what can he say for himself? |
6048 | But I, poor I, how shall I get thither? |
6048 | But Mr. Bunyan replied: Sin doth distinguish a man from a beast; is sin therefore the gift of God? |
6048 | But alas, what thief, what tyrant, what devil is there that may not conquer after this sort? |
6048 | But all these will fail you; for what think you? |
6048 | But all this while, where''s he whose golden rays Drives night away and beautifies our days? |
6048 | But am I daunted? |
6048 | But are the other righteousnesses of no use to us? |
6048 | But are there no dissuasive arguments to lay before such, to prevent their future misery? |
6048 | But art thou blind? |
6048 | But as to the intercession of Christ, who can come in to help upon the account of such innocency or worth? |
6048 | But at the end of all this promised pardon for a million of years-- what then? |
6048 | But be the candles down, and scattered too, Some lying here, some there? |
6048 | But can you imagine how the people of the corporation were taken with this entertainment? |
6048 | But canst thou not now repent and turn? |
6048 | But could the house of Lebanon, though a fortified place, assault Damascus? |
6048 | But could they persuade any to be of their opinion? |
6048 | But did none of them follow you, to persuade you to go back? |
6048 | But did not Mr. Badman marry again quickly? |
6048 | But did not the neighbours take notice of this alteration that Mr. Badman had made? |
6048 | But did they take from him all that ever he had? |
6048 | But did this young Badman accustom himself to such filthy kind of language? |
6048 | But did you never give an occasion to men to call you by this name? |
6048 | But did you not come by the house of the Interpreter? |
6048 | But did you not see the house that stood there on the top of the hill, on the side of which Moses met you? |
6048 | But did you not, with your vain life, damp all that you by words used by way of persuasion to bring them away with you? |
6048 | But did you take his counsel? |
6048 | But did you tell them of your own sorrow, and fear of destruction? |
6048 | But did you, said he, when you were at a stand, pluck out and read your note? |
6048 | But do kings use to die for captive slaves? |
6048 | But do not bad masters condemn themselves in condemning the badness of their servants? |
6048 | But do you think Mr. Badman would have been so base? |
6048 | But do you think that the men that do thus, do think that they do so vilely, so abominably? |
6048 | But do you think these men saw the strength of the Jews now? |
6048 | But first, do you know which of the Badmans I mean? |
6048 | But for all this, how thick, and by heaps, do these wretches walk up and down our streets? |
6048 | But for what cause? |
6048 | But had one not need to walk with a guard, and to have a sentinel stand at one''s door for this? |
6048 | But had the maid no friend to look after her? |
6048 | But his father would, as you intimate, sometimes rebuke him for his wickedness; pray how would he carry it then? |
6048 | But how are your neighbours for quietness? |
6048 | But how camest thou in this condition? |
6048 | But how can a man be sorry for it, that has neither sight nor sense of it? |
6048 | But how could he be naked, when before he had made himself an apron? |
6048 | But how could he so quickly run out, for I perceive it was in little time, by what you say? |
6048 | But how did it happen that you came out of your country this way? |
6048 | But how did they make that out? |
6048 | But how do you think to get in at the gate? |
6048 | But how dost thou prove that? |
6048 | But how doth God the Father save thee? |
6048 | But how doth it happen that you come so late? |
6048 | But how if this path should lead us out of the way? |
6048 | But how is it that you came alone? |
6048 | But how is this resented? |
6048 | But how much more now? |
6048 | But how much more then when he comes To grapple with thy heart; To bind with thread thy toes and thumbs,[4] And fetch thee in his cart? |
6048 | But how must this be done, but as we take them off with the snuffers, and put them in these snuff- dishes? |
6048 | But how shall I be ascertained that I also shall be entertained? |
6048 | But how shall we do to see some of them? |
6048 | But how should a poor soul do to run? |
6048 | But how will this man die? |
6048 | But how? |
6048 | But how? |
6048 | But if He parts with His righteousness to us, what will He have for Himself? |
6048 | But if he had done as you have supposed, what had he done worse than what he hath done already? |
6048 | But if they should not, ask them yet again If formerly they did not entertain One CHRISTIAN, a Pilgrim? |
6048 | But if thy God thou wilt not hearken to, What can the swallow, ant, or spider do? |
6048 | But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?'' |
6048 | But is it asked how are we to see that that is invisible, or to imagine bliss that is past our understanding? |
6048 | But is it not a good heart that hath good thoughts? |
6048 | But is it not a shame for a man to defile himself with that vice which he rebuketh in another? |
6048 | But is it not a wonder they got not from him his certificate, by which he was to receive his admittance at the Celestial Gate? |
6048 | But is not this a shame for them that are such? |
6048 | But is this the common custom of princes? |
6048 | But let us return again to Mr. Badman; had he any children by his wife? |
6048 | But may my sin be forgiven? |
6048 | But met you with no opposition before you set out of doors? |
6048 | But must this wall, I say, consist chiefly in outward glory, in the glory of earthly things? |
6048 | But now, what thing is that which is greater than his body, save the altar, his Divinity on which it was offered? |
6048 | But now, when didst thou feel the power of this first part of the Scripture, the law, so mighty as to strike thee dead? |
6048 | But of what? |
6048 | But pray how can you tell that he did not care for the company of such? |
6048 | But pray tell me, Did you meet nobody in the Valley of Humility? |
6048 | But pray, Sir, what other sign have you by which you can prove that Mr. Badman died in his sins, and so in a state of damnation? |
6048 | But pray, Sir, where was it that Christian and Faithful met Talkative? |
6048 | But shall they be my God, or shall I have Of them so foul and impious a thought, To think that from the curse they can me save? |
6048 | But show me something out of the Word against it, will you? |
6048 | But some love not the method of your first; Romance they count it, throw''t away as dust, If I should meet with such, what should I say? |
6048 | But still when a fresh dish was set before them, they would whisperingly say to each other, What is it? |
6048 | But surely I may begin this time enough, a year or two hence, may I not? |
6048 | But to accept of grace, especially when it is free grace, grace that reigns, grace from the throne, how sweet is it? |
6048 | But to come to the second question, that is, Why these twelve angels are said to stand at the gate? |
6048 | But to slight grace, to do despite to the Spirit of grace, to prefer our own works to the derogating from grace, what is it but to contemn God? |
6048 | But was he not afraid of the judgments of God that did fly about at that time? |
6048 | But was not this man, think you, a giant, a pillar in this house? |
6048 | But were you not afraid, good Sir, when you saw him come out with his club? |
6048 | But what an entrance into life is here? |
6048 | But what answer hath God prepared for these objections? |
6048 | But what are they? |
6048 | But what are we to understand in gospel days, by going out of the house of the Lord, for or by sin? |
6048 | But what can be the end of those that are proud in the decking of themselves after their antic manner? |
6048 | But what could they say for themselves, why they came not? |
6048 | But what did she do to you? |
6048 | But what did you think when he fetched you down to the ground at the first blow? |
6048 | But what do we talk of them? |
6048 | But what do you mean by Mr. Badman''s breaking? |
6048 | But what doth he get in this world, more than travail and sorrow, vexation of spirit, and disappointment? |
6048 | But what followed? |
6048 | But what fruit doth God expect? |
6048 | But what ground had he for his so saying? |
6048 | But what have they got by all they have done, either against the head or body of the same? |
6048 | But what have you met with? |
6048 | But what have you seen? |
6048 | But what have you to show at that gate, that may cause that the gate should be opened to you? |
6048 | But what is all this to the DEAD world-- to them that love to be dead? |
6048 | But what is ankle- deep to that which followeth after? |
6048 | But what is the meaning of this? |
6048 | But what is the second thing whereby you would prove a discovery of a work of grace in the heart? |
6048 | But what judgments do you mean? |
6048 | But what more false than such a conclusion? |
6048 | But what needs that? |
6048 | But what of that? |
6048 | But what saith the Word of God? |
6048 | But what saith the scripture? |
6048 | But what shall I now do, saith the sinner? |
6048 | But what should be the reason that such a good man should be all his days so much in the dark? |
6048 | But what should he mean by that? |
6048 | But what then? |
6048 | But what then? |
6048 | But what was it that made you so afraid of this sight? |
6048 | But what was the cause of your carrying of it thus to the first workings of God''s blessed Spirit upon you? |
6048 | But what was this curse? |
6048 | But what were the chargers a type of? |
6048 | But what were the tongs a type of? |
6048 | But what were these chains a type of? |
6048 | But what were these golden spoons a type of? |
6048 | But what were they used about the candlestick to do? |
6048 | But what were those instruments a type of? |
6048 | But what will not love do? |
6048 | But what will they do when the axe is fetched out? |
6048 | But what will they do with her? |
6048 | But what''s the bush, whose pricks, like tenter- hooks, Do scratch and claw the finest lady''s hands, Or rend her clothes, if she too near it stands? |
6048 | But what, then, must we understand by these lavers, and by this sacrifice being washed in them, in order to its being burned upon the altar? |
6048 | But when did you give him such a rebuke? |
6048 | But when shall this be? |
6048 | But when will that be? |
6048 | But whence must this come? |
6048 | But where is she? |
6048 | But where is the fruit of this repentance? |
6048 | But who are they that must thus be feared? |
6048 | But who is it that can live by grace? |
6048 | But who understands this, who believes it? |
6048 | But who, quoth he, do you think this is? |
6048 | But why are the ungodly held forth under the notion of a rich man? |
6048 | But why did he not come through? |
6048 | But why did not you look for the steps? |
6048 | But why did not young Badman run away from this master, as he ran away from the other? |
6048 | But why do you put in these cautionary words, They must not sell always as dear, nor buy always as cheap as they can? |
6048 | But why is it said, Let him''dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue?'' |
6048 | But why must the instruments be laid upon the tables? |
6048 | But why should they be so set against him, since they also despise the way that he forsook? |
6048 | But why stand off? |
6048 | But why standest thou thus at the door? |
6048 | But why wilt thou seek for ease this way, seeing so many dangers attend it? |
6048 | But why, good Sir, do you sigh so deeply; is it for ought else than that for the which, as you have perceived, I myself am concerned? |
6048 | But why, may some say, do you make so homely a comparison? |
6048 | But why, or by what, art thou persuaded that thou hast left all for God and Heaven? |
6048 | But why? |
6048 | But will it not be counted a trespass against the Lord of the city whither we are bound, thus to violate His revealed will? |
6048 | But will you promise me to mend? |
6048 | But ye ungodly fathers, how are your ungodly children roaring now in hell? |
6048 | But you saw more than this, did you not? |
6048 | But you will say, How doth the law kill and strike dead the poor creatures? |
6048 | But, I pray, what, and how many, were the things wherein you differed? |
6048 | But, I pray, will you tell me why you ask me such questions? |
6048 | But, I say, why is it repeated? |
6048 | But, Sir, said she, what is this pill good for else? |
6048 | But, Sir, said the old gentleman, how could you guess that I am such a man, since I came from such a place? |
6048 | But, Sir, was not this it that made my good Christian''s burden fall from off his shoulder, and that made him give three leaps for joy? |
6048 | But, good neighbour Wiseman, be pleased to tell me who this man was, and why you conclude him so miserable in his death? |
6048 | But, mother, what is it like? |
6048 | But, my good companion, do you know the way to this desired place? |
6048 | But, pray Sir, while it is fresh in my mind, do you hear anything of his wife and children? |
6048 | But, pray, what said my Lord to my rudeness? |
6048 | But, pray, why do you ask me this question? |
6048 | But, said Christian, are there no turnings nor windings, by which a stranger may lose his way? |
6048 | But, said Christian, will your practice stand a trial at law? |
6048 | But, sluggard, is it not a shame for thee To be outdone by pismires? |
6048 | But, you will say, What needs all this ado, and why is all this time and pains spent in speaking to this that is surely believed already? |
6048 | Can a loving husband abide to be always from a beloved spouse? |
6048 | Can a man believe in Christ and not be hated by the devil? |
6048 | Can any think that God should take That pains, to form a man So like himself, only to make Him here a moment stand? |
6048 | Can any think that trees are the things taken care of here? |
6048 | Can darkness agree with light? |
6048 | Can he make a profession of this Christ, and that sweetly and convincingly, and the children of Satan hold their tongue? |
6048 | Can his heart now endure, or can his hands be strong? |
6048 | Can it be imagined that those''that paint themselves did ever repent of their pride?'' |
6048 | Can there now be any thing more plain? |
6048 | Can these teach him to manage his knowledge well? |
6048 | Can you behold every one that he is proud, and abase him, and bind their faces in secret? |
6048 | Can you call for the waters of the sea, and cause them to cover the face of the ground? |
6048 | Can you cast all, and rest all, upon the love of Christ? |
6048 | Can you count the number of the stars, or stay the bottles of heaven? |
6048 | Can you not do as your neighbours do, carry the world, sin, lust, pleasure, profit, esteem among men, along with you? |
6048 | Can you not stay and take these along with you? |
6048 | Can you not tell how you knocked? |
6048 | Can you remember by what means you find your annoyances, at times, as if they were vanquished? |
6048 | Can you stop the sun from running his course, and hinder the moon from giving her light? |
6048 | Canst thou commend thyself''to every man''s conscience in the sight of God?'' |
6048 | Canst thou live in the water; canst thou live always, and nowhere else, but in the water? |
6048 | Canst thou read this, O thou wicked sinner, and yet go on in sin? |
6048 | Canst thou say, from blessed experience,''His flesh is meat indeed, and His blood is drink indeed?'' |
6048 | Canst thou think of this, and defer repentance one hour longer? |
6048 | Christiana and her sons? |
6048 | Come, Samuel, are you willing that I should catechise you also? |
6048 | Come, neighbour Pliable, how do you do? |
6048 | Come, pr''ythee bird, I pr''ythee come away, Why should this net thee take, when''scape thou may? |
6048 | Come, said Christiana, will you eat a bit, a little to sweeten your mouths, while you sit here to rest your legs? |
6048 | Come, tell me, do you keep it from the dust, Yea, wind it also duly up you must? |
6048 | Consider thus with thyself, Would I be glad to have all, every one of my sins to come in against me, to inflame the justice of God against me? |
6048 | Consider thus, Would I be glad to have all, and every one of the ten commandments, to discharge themselves against my soul? |
6048 | Could it remove from the place on which God had set it? |
6048 | Cry, why so? |
6048 | Cumber- ground, how many hopeful, inclinable, forward people, hast thou by thy fruitless and unprofitable life, kept out of the vineyard of God? |
6048 | Cut him down, why cumbereth he the ground? |
6048 | Dark- land, said the guide; doth not that lie up on the same coast with the City of Destruction? |

6048 | Did I ever feel a deep concern about my soul? |
6048 | Did I ever see my danger as a sinner? |
6048 | Did I say, our Lord had here in former days his country- house, and that He loved here to walk? |
6048 | Did Ignorance, who perished from the way, say to the pilgrims,''You go so fast, I must stay awhile behind?'' |
6048 | Did Mistrust and Timorous run back for fear of the persecuting lions, Church and State? |
6048 | Did any of them know of your coming? |
6048 | Did ever God tell thee thou shalt live half a year or two months longer? |
6048 | Did ever God tell thee thou shalt live half a year, or two months longer? |

6048 | Did he break his leg then? |
6048 | Did he intend, that after he had rifled my pockets, I should go to Gaius, mine host? |
6048 | Did he often carry it thus to her? |

6048 | Did not I direct thee the way to the little wicket- gate? |
6048 | Did not the Shepherds bid us beware of the flatterers? |
6048 | Did not we tell thee of these things? |
6048 | Did she desire thee to come with her to this place? |
6048 | Did she talk thus openly? |
6048 | Did they show wherein this way is so dangerous? |
6048 | Did we not run, ride, labour, and strive abundantly, if it might have been, for the good of thy soul, though now a damned soul? |
6048 | Did we not see, from the Delectable Mountains, the gate of the city? |
6048 | Did we not sound an alarm in thine ears, by the trumpet of God''s word day after day? |
6048 | Did we not tell thee sin would damn thy soul? |
6048 | Did we not tell thee that they who loved their sins should be damned at this dark and gloomy day, as thou art like to be? |
6048 | Did we not tell thee that without conversion there was no salvation? |
6048 | Did we not venture our goods, our names, our lives? |
6048 | Did you cry me mercy so long as you had hopes that you might prevail against me? |
6048 | Did you hear no talk of neighbour Pliable? |
6048 | Did you meet with no other assault as you came? |
6048 | Did you never read, that''the dragon persecuteth the woman?'' |
6048 | Did you then so well know his life? |
6048 | Didst thou never hear of the intolerable roarings of the damned ones that are therein? |
6048 | Didst thou never hear or read that doleful saying in Luke 16, how the sinful man cries out among the flames,''One drop of water to cool my tongue?'' |
6048 | Do I look alone to Christ for righteousness, and depend only on Him for holiness? |
6048 | Do I renounce my own righteousness, as well as abhor my sins? |
6048 | Do I see that all other ways, whether of sin or self- righteousness, lead to hell? |
6048 | Do I study to please Him, as well as hope to enjoy Him? |
6048 | Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?'' |
6048 | Do n''t you hear a noise? |
6048 | Do n''t you remember how undaunted they were when they stood before the judge? |
6048 | Do not most rather seek to push away our feet from taking hold of the path of life, or else lay snares for us in the way? |
6048 | Do they drink wine in bowls? |
6048 | Do they live in pleasures, and spend their days in wealth? |
6048 | Do they think that God can not be even with them? |
6048 | Do they think they shall know themselves then, or that they shall rejoice to see themselves in that bliss? |
6048 | Do we indeed see Christ by the eye of faith? |
6048 | Do we know the manner and temper of their King? |
6048 | Do we think that the prophet prophesieth here against trees, against the natural cedars of Lebanon? |
6048 | Do you count them pure with the wicked balances? |
6048 | Do you find this? |
6048 | Do you know him, then? |
6048 | Do you know who they are, whence they come, and what is their purpose in setting down before the town of Mansoul? |
6048 | Do you mean, how came I at first to look after the good of my soul? |

6048 | Do you see yonder hill? |
6048 | Do you so run? |
6048 | Do you so run? |
6048 | Do you so run? |
6048 | Do you think that I am such a fool as to think God can see no further than I? |
6048 | Do you think that that maid''s master would have been troubled at the loss of her, if he had not lost, with her, his gain? |
6048 | Do you think that you are stronger than he? |
6048 | Do you think those will ever come thither? |
6048 | Do''st not behold the net? |
6048 | Does Christ dwell in my heart by faith? |
6048 | Does he take the shield of faith, and helmet of salvation? |
6048 | Does he take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God? |
6048 | Dost not thou see that thou art called a thief and a robber, that hast either climbed up to, or crept in at another place than the door? |
6048 | Dost thou believe the Scriptures to be the Word of God? |
6048 | Dost thou believe the Scriptures to be the Word of God? |
6048 | Dost thou bring forth fruit unto God? |
6048 | Dost thou continually neglect to come to Christ, and usest arguments in thine own heart to satisfy thy soul with so doing? |
6048 | Dost thou count all things but poor, lifeless, empty, vain things, without communion with him? |
6048 | Dost thou count his company more precious than the whole world? |
6048 | Dost thou delight to sin against plain commands? |
6048 | Dost thou examine thyself whether thou be in the faith or no, having a command in Scripture so to do? |
6048 | Dost thou give diligence to make thy calling and election sure, because God commanded it in Scripture? |
6048 | Dost thou hear, barren fig- tree? |
6048 | Dost thou hear, barren professor? |
6048 | Dost thou in deed and in truth believe the Scriptures to be the Word of God? |
6048 | Dost thou know whether the day of grace will last a week longer or no? |
6048 | Dost thou love to be talking of him-- and also to be walking with him? |
6048 | Dost thou slight and scorn the counsels contained in the Scriptures, and continue in so doing? |
6048 | Dost thou think that Christ will foul His fingers with thee? |
6048 | Dost thou walk like one that is bought with a price, even with the price of precious blood? |
6048 | Dost thou''bear about in thy body the dying of the Lord Jesus?'' |
6048 | Doth he entreat you, for fear of you? |
6048 | Doth his company sweeten all things-- and his absence embitter all things? |
6048 | Doth it not suit many a feeble mind? |
6048 | Doth she not speak very smoothly, and give you a smile at the end of a sentence? |
6048 | Doth she not wear a great purse by her side; and is not her hand often in it, fingering her money, as if that was her heart''s delight? |
6048 | Even Judas could as boldly ask,''Master, is it I''who shall betray Thee? |
6048 | Everybody will cry up the goodness of men; but who is there that is, as he should, affected with the goodness of God? |
6048 | Examine again, Dost thou labour after those qualifications that the Scriptures do describe a child of God by? |
6048 | Examine, Dost thou stand in awe of sinning against God, because he hath in the Scriptures commanded thee to abstain from it? |
6048 | Farther, if all be true that this man hath said, how comes it to pass that the subjects of Shaddai are so enslaved in all places where they come? |
6048 | Fearing, that came on pilgrimage out of his parts? |
6048 | For how can a man repent of that of which he hath neither sight nor sense? |
6048 | For if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinners appear? |
6048 | For my part, I am out of charity with myself; who then should be in love with me? |
6048 | For of what should a man repent? |
6048 | For should the saints enjoy all this But for a certain time, O, how would they their mark then miss, And at this thing repine? |
6048 | For what am I thus tormented? |
6048 | For what bondage greater than to be kept in blindness? |
6048 | For what did you bring yourself into this condition? |
6048 | For what journey, I pray you? |
6048 | For what portion of God is there,''for that sin,''from above, and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?'' |
6048 | For when, thinks the enemy, will these fools be so desirous to sit down, as when they are weary? |
6048 | For wherein can grace or love more appear than in his laying down his life for us? |
6048 | For who can endure a boar in a vineyard; a man of sin in a holy temple; or a dragon in heaven? |
6048 | For who doth not perceive, but when those that sit aloft are vile, and corrupt themselves, they corrupt the whole region and country where they are? |
6048 | For who is prouder than you professors? |
6048 | For''what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?'' |
6048 | Friend, whither away? |
6048 | Friends, Solomon saith, that''The desire of the slothful killeth him''; and if so, what will slothfulness itself do to those that entertain it? |
6048 | From what? |
6048 | GREAT- HEART, What could they say against it? |
6048 | Gentlemen, whence came you, and whither go you? |
6048 | God''s people wish well to the souls of others, and wilt not thou wish well to thy own? |
6048 | Good morrow, my good neighbour, Mr. Attentive; whither are you walking so early this morning? |
6048 | Had he not also now hold of the shield of faith? |
6048 | Had he then such a good trade, for all he was such a bad man? |
6048 | Had you ever any talk with him about it? |
6048 | Had you no talk with him before you came out? |
6048 | Had you not thoughts of leaving off praying? |
6048 | Has He given it to thee, my reader? |
6048 | Has he on the breastplate of righteousness? |
6048 | Has he that need of you, that we are sure you have of him? |
6048 | Has the enmity of the human heart by nature changed? |
6048 | Hast been among the thieves? |
6048 | Hast thou a wife and children? |
6048 | Hast thou an heart to be sorry for this wickedness? |
6048 | Hast thou any lease of thy life? |
6048 | Hast thou any lease of thy life? |
6048 | Hast thou been digg''d about and dunged too, Will neither patience nor yet dressing do? |
6048 | Hast thou fruit becoming the care of God, the protection of God, the wisdom of God, the patience and husbandry of God? |
6048 | Hast thou given thyself to the Lord? |
6048 | Hast thou that''godly sorrow''that''worketh repentance to salvation, not to be repented of?'' |
6048 | Hast thou valued sin at a higher rate than thy soul, than God, Christ, angels, saints, and communion with them in eternal blessedness and glory? |
6048 | Hast thou''renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness?'' |
6048 | Hath He overcome the law, the devil, and hell? |
6048 | Hath Jesus performed righteousness to cover us, and spilled blood to wash us? |
6048 | Hath he been digging about thee? |
6048 | Hath he been dunging of thee? |
6048 | Hath it not hindered many in their pilgrimage? |
6048 | Hath not Moses told them the danger of living in sin? |
6048 | Have they at no time, think you, convictions of sin, and so consequently fears that their state is dangerous? |
6048 | Have they not Moses and the prophets? |
6048 | Have they not Moses and the prophets? |
6048 | Have they not had my ministers and servants sent unto them and coming as from me? |
6048 | Have we the faith of this? |
6048 | Have you any more things to ask me about my beginning to come on pilgrimage? |
6048 | Have you felt the alarm in your soul under a sense of sin and judgment? |
6048 | Have you lost any of your cattle, or what is the matter? |
6048 | Have you these? |
6048 | Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now? |
6048 | Having these to look to, what should stagger our faith, or deject our hope? |
6048 | He asked again if they had aught to say for themselves, why the sentence that they confessed that they had deserved should not be passed upon them? |
6048 | He asked me if I had a family? |
6048 | He asked them, Why? |
6048 | He knocked, therefore, more than once or twice, saying--"May I now enter here? |
6048 | He loved to live high, but his hands refused to labour; and what else can the end of such an one be but that which the wise man saith? |
6048 | He ran away, you say, but whither did he run? |
6048 | He that feareth not to be burned in the fire, how will he fear the heat of weather? |
6048 | He that hath his word shall then speak it faithfully, for''what is the chaff to the wheat? |
6048 | He that opened stepped out after him, and said, Thou trembling one, what wantest thou? |
6048 | He that was in darkness, or he that was in light? |
6048 | He that was in everlasting joy, or he that was in everlasting torments? |
6048 | He that was in hell, or he that was in heaven? |
6048 | Hence David said again,''Whom have I in heaven but thee?'' |
6048 | Hence see what it is to grieve the Spirit of God: for He only is the Comforter: and if He withdraws His influences, who or what can comfort us? |
6048 | His song was this: The Lord is only my support, And he that doth me feed; How can I then want anything Whereof I stand in need? |
6048 | Honest asked his landlord, if there were any store of good people in the town? |
6048 | Honest asked, why it was said that the Saviour is said to come''out of a dry ground''; and also, that''He had no form or comeliness in him?'' |
6048 | Honest( when they were all sat down) asked Mr. Contrite, and the rest, in what posture their town was at present? |
6048 | Honest, interrupting of him, said, Did you see the two men asleep in the arbour? |
6048 | How are all things out of order? |
6048 | How believe you, as touching the resurrection of the dead? |
6048 | How came that about, since you were now reformed? |
6048 | How came that about? |
6048 | How came you to think at first of so doing as you do now? |
6048 | How camest thou by the burden at first? |
6048 | How can such poor women as we hold out in a way so full of troubles as this way is, without a friend and defender? |
6048 | How did he break it? |
6048 | How do they seek to stifle them? |
6048 | How do you know that these sayings are true? |
6048 | How do you know that? |
6048 | How do you mean? |
6048 | How dost thou believe? |
6048 | How dost thou show before men the truth of thy turning to God? |
6048 | How doth God the Son save thee? |
6048 | How far do you think he may be before? |
6048 | How far is it thither? |
6048 | How far may such an one go? |
6048 | How far might they go on in pilgrimage in their day, since they notwithstanding were thus miserably cast away? |
6048 | How hard are these things? |
6048 | How he carried it? |
6048 | How is it now? |
6048 | How is it, then, that thou art so quickly turned aside? |
6048 | How is it, then, that thou hast run away from thy king? |
6048 | How long must this be my state? |
6048 | How long? |
6048 | How many Mahomet? |
6048 | How many poor souls hath Bonner to answer for, think you, and several filthy blind priests? |
6048 | How many seasons have you spent in vain? |
6048 | How many sermons and other mercies did I, of my patience, afford you? |
6048 | How many souls do you think Balaam, with his deceit, will have to answer for? |
6048 | How many souls have they been the means of destroying by their ignorance and corrupt doctrine? |
6048 | How many the Pharisees, that hired the soldiers to say the disciples stole away Jesus? |
6048 | How many times have you disappointed me? |
6048 | How much more then when light shall be against light in three ranks? |
6048 | How much more will it perplex thee to think, that thou hadst not a care of thy own? |
6048 | How now, good fellow, whither away after this burdened manner? |
6048 | How often didst thou hear us tell thee of these things? |
6048 | How sayest thou, young comer, is not this the case with thy soul? |
6048 | How shall we escape,''if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven?'' |
6048 | How shall we get to be sharers thereof? |
6048 | How should I escape being by them torn in pieces? |
6048 | How so? |
6048 | How stands it between God and your soul now? |
6048 | How stands the country affected towards you? |
6048 | How then can any good be done to those whose conscience is worse than that? |
6048 | How then can good fruit grow from such a root, the root of all evil? |
6048 | How then can it be but that light should be against light in this house, and that in a military posture? |
6048 | How then can the world judge of the condition of the saints? |
6048 | How then shall I look Him in the face at His coming? |
6048 | How then should his brethren that survive him, and that tread in his very steps, approve of the sentence that by this book is pronounced against him? |
6048 | How then will it be with thee? |
6048 | How was Esau served for staying too long before he came for the blessing? |
6048 | How was Lot''s wife served for running lazily, and for giving but one look behind her, after the things she left in Sodom? |
6048 | How will they shine? |
6048 | How will you describe right fear? |
6048 | How? |
6048 | I also ask, in what charger our gospel passover is now dressed up and set before the people? |
6048 | I am sorry that I was so foolish, and am made to wonder that I am not now as Lot''s wife; for wherein was the difference betwixt her sin and mine? |
6048 | I ask, Why has the world such hold of thee? |
6048 | I ask, then, if there were ever anything that had a being antecedent to, or before God? |
6048 | I asked him further, how that man''s righteousness could be of that efficacy to justify another before God? |
6048 | I believe so; but pray tell me, did any of her other children hearken to her words, so as to be bettered in their souls thereby? |
6048 | I deem I have half a guess of you; your name is Old Honesty, is it not? |
6048 | I have given Him my faith, and sworn my allegiance to Him; how, then, can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a traitor? |
6048 | I pray let me hear your judgment of extortion, what it is, and when committed? |
6048 | I promise you this was enough to discourage; but did they make an end here? |
6048 | I remember he alleged many a Scripture, but those I valued not; the Scriptures, thought I, what are they? |
6048 | I say again, tell me before the first blow is given, wilt thou turn? |
6048 | I say, dost thou see thyself in him? |
6048 | I say, he puts great difference between these, and that other sort that say, When will the Sabbath be gone, that we may be at our worldly business? |
6048 | I say, if Mr. Badman was here to object thus unto you, what would be your reply? |
6048 | I say, what less than a river could do it? |
6048 | I tell you this is no easy matter; if it were, what need all those prayers, sighs, watchings? |
6048 | I think it a high favour that they were hanged before we came hither; who knows else what they might have done to such poor women as we are? |
6048 | If Christ be the way, verity, and life, how can there be any life then without Christ? |
6048 | If God would blow upon a man, who can help it? |

6048 | If all that build do build to suit The glory of their state, What orator, though most acute, Can fully heaven relate? |
6048 | If any say, Who''s there? |
6048 | If nothing should by us be had When we are gone from hence, But vanities, while here? |
6048 | If palaces that princes build, Which yet are made of clay, Do so amaze when much beheld, Of heaven what shall we say? |
6048 | If so, then what is that worth, or value, that is in the grace itself? |
6048 | If so, then, in the next place, what will become of them that are grown weary before they are got half way thither? |
6048 | If so, what had she to say? |
6048 | If the Father, or the Son, or the Holy Ghost, are gracious, if they were not all gracious, what would it profit? |
6048 | If the life that is attended with so many troubles, is so loath to be let go by us, what is the life above? |
6048 | If the world, which God sets light by, is counted a thing of that worth with men; what is Heaven, which God commendeth? |
6048 | If thou wouldst know whether man be still in that state by nature that God did place him in? |
6048 | If thou wouldst know whether the man were first beguiled, or the woman that God made an help- mate for him? |
6048 | If we have such ill speed at our first setting out, what may we expect betwixt this and our journey''s end? |
6048 | If you say no, what means your sour carriage to the people of God? |
6048 | If young Badman feared not the damnation of his soul, do you think that the consideration of impairing of his body would have deterred him therefrom? |
6048 | If''the wrath of a king is as messengers of death''( Prov 16:14), if the wrath of the king''is as the roaring of a lion,''what is the wrath of God? |
6048 | In his Jerusalem Sinner Saved he thus argues''Why despair? |
6048 | In what glory will they appear? |
6048 | Indeed the Word saith,"He hath blinded their eyes, lest they should see,"& c. But now we are by ourselves, what do you think of such men? |
6048 | Indeed who can bear up, and who Can from these shakings run? |
6048 | Instructions did I say? |
6048 | Is He the one, the chief object of our soul? |
6048 | Is He the only hope of my soul, and the only confidence of my heart? |
6048 | Is fellowship with God the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ, so prized by me, as to seek it, and to esteem it above all things? |

6048 | Is not this strange? |
6048 | Is nothing so secret but it will be revealed? |
6048 | Is the Lamb the nourishment of thy soul, and the portion of thy heart? |

6048 | My senses, how were you beguil''d When you said sin was good? |
6048 | My soul is also sore vexed, but thou, O Lord, how long? |
6048 | Nay, but, said Mr. Bunyan, have you the very self- same original copies that were written by the penmen of the scriptures, prophets and apostles? |
6048 | Nay, do not they rather owe him something for his labour he bestowed on them, as Philemon did to Paul? |

6048 | O my brother, if He will but go along with us, what need we be afraid of ten thousands that shall set themselves against us? |
6048 | O my reader, would you be one of the glorified inhabitants of that city whose builder and maker is God? |
6048 | O that godly plea of Samuel:''Behold here I am,''says he,''witness against me, before the Lord, and before his anointed, whose ox have I taken? |
6048 | O what an alteration will there be among the ungodly when they go out of this world? |
6048 | O what will it profit thy soul to have pleasure in this life, and torments in hell? |

6048 | Or dost thou wink, because thou would''st not see? |
6048 | Or how is it with thy soul? |
6048 | Or if it should, would it be a suitable medicine in the least to present to the eyes of a broken and wounded people, as the Jews will be at that day? |
6048 | Or if they were, would they be afraid that God would not make them welcome? |
6048 | Or is it a way into which I have twisted myself, as not being contented with my first lot, that by God and my parents I was cast into? |
6048 | Or is it muddy, and mixed with the doctrines of men? |
6048 | Or that he should make such ado, By justice, and by grace; By prophets and apostles too, That men might see his face? |
6048 | Or that the promise he hath made, Also the threatenings great, Should in a moment end and fade? |
6048 | Or that there should be the strength of an ox in a wren? |
6048 | Or theirs that hear the beating of a drum, But not made fly for fear from house and home? |
6048 | Or was his calling so gainful to him as always to keep his purse''s belly full, though he was himself a great spender? |
6048 | Or what careth he for the pinching frost, which burneth with the love of the Lord? |
6048 | Or what will they give in exchange for their souls? |
6048 | Or who shall condemn me-- just judges? |
6048 | Otherwise,''Being planted, shall it prosper? |
6048 | Pray how did he break it? |
6048 | Pray how did she die? |
6048 | Pray in the custody of Giant Despair, in the midst of Doubting Castle, and when their own folly brought them there too? |
6048 | Pray of what disease did Mr. Badman die, for now I perceive we are come up to his death? |
6048 | Pray tell me concerning the first, how he made away with himself? |
6048 | Pray what were they? |

6048 | Pray, did you know him? |
6048 | Pray, how was he in his death? |
6048 | Pray, what count you good thoughts, and a life according to God''s commandments? |

6048 | Pray, what was it more that he said unto you? |
6048 | Pray, where did you find all these? |
6048 | Pray, who are your kindred there? |
6048 | Prithee, what new knowledge hast thou got, that so worketh off thy mind from thy friends, and that tempteth thee to go, nobody knows where? |
6048 | Professors such, perhaps, there may be, and who upon earth can help it? |
6048 | Reader, can you be content with this? |
6048 | Reader, have you ever spoken harshly to, or persecuted, a child of God-- a poor penitent sinner? |
6048 | Reader, have you fled for refuge to the hope set before you in the gospel? |
6048 | Reader, how is your inclination? |
6048 | Reader, is this your lot also? |
6048 | Reader, what sayest thou to this? |
6048 | Reader, what sayst thou to this? |
6048 | Reader, wouldst see what you may never feel, Despair, racks, torments, whips of burning steel? |
6048 | Received you the Spirit, saith St. Paul, By hearing, faith, or works? |
6048 | Recorder was mad, and so not to be regarded: and for this he urged his fits, and said, If he be himself, why doth he not do thus always? |
6048 | Said they anything more to discourage you? |
6048 | Say you so? |
6048 | Says Paul,''They did not like to retain God in their knowledge''; and what follows? |
6048 | Says Satan, Dost thou not know that thou hast horribly sinned? |
6048 | Scenes of accomplished bliss, which who can see, Though but in distant prospect, and not feel His soul refresh''d with foretaste of the joy? |
6048 | Second, Because you know that though a man do run, yet if he do not overcome, or win, as well as run, what will he be the better for his running? |
6048 | Secondly, For that he perceived God was with them, though in that dark and dismal state; and why not, thought he, with me? |
6048 | Secondly, How safe they are in the arms of Jesus; would they be here again for a thousand worlds? |
6048 | Seest thou not that many of late have been snatched away, on each side of thee( by that hand that hath been stretched out and is so still)? |
6048 | Shall I be a citizen of that city? |
6048 | Shall I be proud, because I am sounding brass? |
6048 | Shall I buy the pleasures of this world at so dear a rate as to lose my soul for the obtaining of that? |
6048 | Shall I content myself with a heaven that will last no longer than my lifetime? |
6048 | Shall I entertain thee against my sovereign Lord? |
6048 | Shall I have my sins and lose my soul? |
6048 | Shall I need to mention particularly contests many years past, and presented to us in print? |
6048 | Shall I not be abandoned for this, and sent back from thence ashamed? |
6048 | Shall I save thee? |
6048 | Shall I speak of the satiety and of the duration of all these? |
6048 | Shall he not therefore seek for fruit, for fruit answerable to the means? |
6048 | Shall he that keeps his promise sure In things both low and small, Yet break it like a man impure, In matters great''st of all? |
6048 | Shall it be said at the last day, that the wicked made more haste to hell than you to Heaven? |
6048 | Shall it be said at the last day, that wicked men made more haste to hell than you did make to heaven? |
6048 | Shall not then these mournful groans pierce thy flinty heart? |
6048 | Shall we be ruled by the Giant? |
6048 | Shall we forget them? |
6048 | Shall we go back again to my Lord, and confess our folly, and ask one? |
6048 | Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? |
6048 | Shall you with him live in pleasure as you do now? |
6048 | She said she was afraid; I asked her, why? |
6048 | Should I now be ashamed of His ways and servants, how can I expect the blessing? |
6048 | Should one say to some-- Art not thou that man I saw crying out under a sermon,''What shall I do to be saved?'' |
6048 | Should she stay where she dwells, and retain this her mind, who could live quietly by her? |
6048 | Should we make Mr. Good- deed our messenger when our petition cries for mercy? |
6048 | Sinner, sick sinner, what sayest thou to this? |
6048 | Sir, said the least, I was almost beat out of heart? |
6048 | Sir, what is the cause of this? |
6048 | Sir, what think you? |
6048 | Sir, which is my way to this honest man''s house? |
6048 | Sir, you seem greatly concerned at this, but what if I shall say more? |
6048 | Skill, how does it taste? |
6048 | Skill, saying, Sir, what will content you for your pains and care to, and of my child? |
6048 | Sluggard, art thou asleep still? |
6048 | Snuff- dishes, you may say, what are they? |
6048 | Snuffers, you may say, of what were they a type? |
6048 | So Christ:''Which of you convinceth me of sin?'' |
6048 | So Christiana asked Prudence what it was that made those curious notes? |
6048 | So He addressed Himself to Mercy, and said unto her, And what moved thee to come hither, sweet heart? |
6048 | So I was, and a sweet dream it was; but are you sure I laughed? |
6048 | So again:''What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?'' |
6048 | So also Bunyan-"Every height is a difficulty to him that is loaden; with a burden, how shall we attain the Heaven of heavens? |
6048 | So he came directly to me, and said, Mercy, what aileth thee? |
6048 | So he further asked, if all the men in the town of Mansoul were in this confession as they? |
6048 | So the guide, Mr. Great- heart, awaked him, and the old gentleman, as he lift up his eyes, cried out, What''s the matter? |
6048 | So then, when the body of Christ is in every sense completed in this life by the light of the sunshine of his holy gospel, what need of this sun? |
6048 | So they began and said, Neighbour, pray what is your meaning by this? |
6048 | So they called her, and said to her, Mercy, what is that thing thou wouldst have? |
6048 | So they came up one to another; and presently Stand- fast said to old Honest, Ho, father Honest, are you there? |
6048 | So when he was come into the chamber of state, Diabolus saluted him with''Welcome, my Lord, how went matters betwixt you to- day?'' |
6048 | So when he was got in, the man of the gate asked him who directed him thither? |
6048 | So when they were come to the gate, the guide knocked, and the Porter cried, Who is there? |
6048 | So, did I say? |
6048 | Soul, consider, is it not miserable to lose heaven for twenty, thirty, or forty years''sinning against God? |
6048 | Specially that bitter outcry of his,''What shall I do to be saved?'' |
6048 | Stop, my dear reader, have you cast away all useless encumbrances, and all easily besetting sins? |
6048 | Suppose such a slip as I told you of before should be in your garden, and there die, would you let it abide in your garden? |
6048 | Suppose that I be cheated myself with a brass half- crown, must I therefore cheat another therewith? |
6048 | Take the THREATENINGS laid down in holy writ, and how are they disregarded? |
6048 | Take the tables for the hearts of the murderers, and the instruments for their sins, and what place more fit for such instruments to be laid upon? |
6048 | Tell me, when did you see an old drunkard converted? |
6048 | Than thought? |
6048 | Than wind? |
6048 | That is comparable to the pleasures, profits, and glory of this world? |
6048 | That is true, but what evil is that that he will not do, that is left of God, as I believe Mr. Badman was? |
6048 | That was extortion, was it not? |
6048 | The Prince asked further, saying, Could you have been content that your slavery should have continued under his tyranny as long as you had lived? |
6048 | The Shepherds then answered, Did you not see a little below these mountains a stile that led into a meadow, on the left hand of this way? |
6048 | The cost of the enterprise is vast indeed; the army is numerous as our thoughts, and who can number''the multitude of his thoughts?'' |
6048 | The creditors asked what he would give? |
6048 | The curse of God hangs over your heads; and will you be slothful? |
6048 | The day of death and judgment is at the door; and will you be slothful? |
6048 | The dragon her assaults, fills her with jars, Yet rests she under her Beloved''s shade, But whence was she? |
6048 | The hearing of this is enough to ravish one''s heart; but are these things to be enjoyed? |
6048 | The instruments with which they slew the sacrifices, what were they but a bloody axe, bloody knives, bloody hooks, and bloody hands? |
6048 | The man therefore, read it, and looking upon Evangelist very carefully, said, Whither must I fly? |
6048 | The men then asked, What must we do in the holy place? |
6048 | The record, you will say, what is that? |
6048 | The riches, honours, and pleasures of this world, what mortal can withstand? |
6048 | The saints of old, they being willing and resolved for heaven, what could stop them? |
6048 | The vital question is, Has my heart been conquered; do I love Emmanuel? |
6048 | The way that he took, led him directly into this condition; for who can expect other things of one that follows such courses? |
6048 | The which, when he had done, he said, Christiana, knowest thou wherefore I am come? |
6048 | The whole of this address is descriptive of what the author saw, felt, or heard--''What shall I say? |
6048 | Their covetousness declareth that they are weary of depending upon God; and doth not thy wanton actions declare that thou abhorrest chastity? |
6048 | Then Christian asked, What is the reason of the discontent of Passion? |
6048 | Then Christian called to Demas, saying, Is not the place dangerous? |
6048 | Then Christian said to him, Come away, man, why do you stay so behind? |
6048 | Then Demas called again, saying, But will you not come over and see? |
6048 | Then Faithful stepped forward again, and said to Talkative, Come, what cheer? |
6048 | Then I asked him further, how I must make my supplication to Him? |
6048 | Then I asked how long time he would have me live with him? |
6048 | Then I said, But how, Lord, must I consider of Thee in my coming to Thee, that my faith may be placed aright upon Thee? |
6048 | Then I said, But, Lord, what is believing? |
6048 | Then Mr. Stand- fast blushed, and said, But why, did you see me? |
6048 | Then Said Christian to the man, What art thou? |
6048 | Then did he that came in for their relief call out to the ruffians, saying, What is that thing that you do? |
6048 | Then did the Judge say to him, Hast thou any more to say? |
6048 | Then have I said, Shall we cut off this finger, and buy my child a better, a brave golden finger? |
6048 | Then he asked them, saying, Where did you lie the last night? |
6048 | Then he said to his mother, What diet has Matthew of late fed upon? |
6048 | Then ran Innocent in( for that was her name) and said to those within, Can you think who is at the door? |
6048 | Then said Charity to Christian, Have you a family? |
6048 | Then said Christian to Hopeful his fellow, Is it true which this man hath said? |
6048 | Then said Christian to his fellow, If these men can not stand before the sentence of men, what will they do with the sentence of God? |
6048 | Then said Christian to the Interpreter, But is there no hope for such a man as this? |
6048 | Then said Christian to the porter, Sir, what house is this? |
6048 | Then said Christian, May we go in thither? |
6048 | Then said Christian, What is thy name? |
6048 | Then said Christian, What meaneth this? |
6048 | Then said Christian, What meaneth this? |
6048 | Then said Christian, What means that? |
6048 | Then said Christian, What means this? |
6048 | Then said Christian, What means this? |
6048 | Then said Christian, What means this? |
6048 | Then said Christian, What means this? |
6048 | Then said Christian, Why doth this man thus tremble? |
6048 | Then said Christian, You make me afraid, but whither shall I fly to be safe? |
6048 | Then said Christiana, What is the meaning of this? |
6048 | Then said Christiana, Wherefore weepeth my Sister so? |
6048 | Then said Evangelist further, Art not thou the man that I found crying without the walls of the City of Destruction? |
6048 | Then said Evangelist, How hath it fared with you, my friends, since the time of our last parting? |
6048 | Then said Evangelist, If this be thy condition, why standest thou still? |
6048 | Then said Evangelist, Why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils? |
6048 | Then said Evangelist, pointing with his finger over a very wide field, Do you see yonder wicket gate? |
6048 | Then said Gaius, Is this Christian''s wife? |
6048 | Then said Gaius, Whose wife is this aged matron? |
6048 | Then said He, Is there but one spider in all this spacious room? |
6048 | Then said Hopeful, Where are we now? |
6048 | Then said Joseph, Mother, what is it? |
6048 | Then said Matthew, May we eat apples, since they were such, by, and with which, the serpent beguiled our first mother? |
6048 | Then said Mercy to him that was their guide and conductor, What are those three men? |
6048 | Then said Mercy, How knew you this before you came from home? |
6048 | Then said Mercy, What means this? |
6048 | Then said Mnason their host, How far have ye come today? |
6048 | Then said Mr. Bunyan, Have you the original? |
6048 | Then said Mr. Desires- awake, why should not I do the best I can to save so famous a town as Mansoul from deserved destruction? |
6048 | Then said Mr. Feeble- mind to him, Man, How camest thou hither? |
6048 | Then said Mr. Great- heart to the little ones, Come, my pretty boys, how do you do? |
6048 | Then said Mr. Great- heart, Good Gaius, what hast thou for supper? |
6048 | Then said Mr. Great- heart, What art thou? |
6048 | Then said Mr. Great- heart, What things? |
6048 | Then said Mr. Valiant- for- truth, Prithee, who is it? |
6048 | Then said he that attempted to back the lions, Will you slay me upon mine own ground? |
6048 | Then said he, Who will go with me? |
6048 | Then said he, Who, and what is he that is so hardy, as after this manner to molest the Giant Despair? |
6048 | Then said the Interpreter, Is there no hope, but you must be kept in the iron cage of despair? |
6048 | Then said the Keeper of the gate, Who is there? |
6048 | Then said the Keeper of the gate, Who is there? |
6048 | Then said the Keeper, Whence come ye, and what is that you would have? |
6048 | Then said the Prince again, Are you the men that did suffer yourselves to be corrupted and defiled by that abominable one Diabolus? |
6048 | Then said the Prince, And for what are those ropes on your heads? |
6048 | Then said the Prince, And what punishment is it, think you, that you deserve at my hand for these and other your high and mighty sins? |
6048 | Then said the Prince,''And what is he that is become thy companion in this so weighty a matter?'' |
6048 | Then said the Shepherds one to another, Shall we show these Pilgrims some wonders? |
6048 | Then said the boys, Are we not yet at the end of this doleful place? |
6048 | Then said the damsel to them, With whom would you speak in this place? |
6048 | Then said the giant, Why are you here on my ground? |
6048 | Then said the guide, Why did you not cry out, that some might have come in for your succour? |
6048 | Then said the man to the Prince,''Oh let not my Lord be angry; and why inquirest thou after the name of such a dead dog as I am? |
6048 | Then said the man, Neighbours, wherefore are ye come? |
6048 | Then said the old man, Thou lookest like an honest fellow; wilt thou be content to dwell with me for the wages that I shall give thee? |
6048 | Then said the other, Do you see yonder shining light? |
6048 | Then said their guide, Come, what cheer, Sirs? |
6048 | Then said they, Have you none? |
6048 | Then said they, What should this be? |
6048 | Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive and removing to and fro? |
6048 | Then she addressed herself to the eldest, whose name was Matthew; and she said to him, Come, Matthew, shall I also catechise you? |
6048 | Then she said, Come, Joseph( for his name was Joseph), will you let me catechise you? |
6048 | Then the water stood in mine eyes, and I asked further, But, Lord, may such a great sinner as I am, be indeed accepted of Thee, and be saved by Thee? |
6048 | Then they asked her of her welfare, and if these young men were her husband''s sons? |
6048 | Then they asked the Shepherds what that should mean? |
6048 | Then they cried out to those that were sent, What news from the Prince? |
6048 | Then they stood trembling before him, and he said, Are you the men that heretofore were the servants of Shaddai? |
6048 | Then, O that I might have a little ease for my deceitful tongue? |
6048 | Then, as it seems, sometimes you got rid of your trouble? |
6048 | Then, directing his speech to Ignorance, he said, Come, how do you? |
6048 | Then, said I, a man, it seems, may report it for a truth? |
6048 | Thereat Mercy said, And why so envious, trow? |
6048 | Therefore let him still humble himself before his God, because his hand is upon him, and say, What sin is this, for which this hand of God is upon me? |
6048 | Therefore what need have they that I should work such a miracle, as to send one from the dead unto them? |
6048 | Therefore, I say, this gate was not measured; for what should a rule do here, where things are beyond all measure? |
6048 | Therefore, wherefore? |
6048 | These are my fears of him too; but who can hinder that which will be? |
6048 | They added also, We see it is well with you, but how must it go with the town of Mansoul? |
6048 | They are fallen from grace, and what can help them? |
6048 | They gather it indeed, and think to keep it too, but what says Solomon? |
6048 | They may, with confidence, say, Lord, Lord, have we not eaten and drank in Thy presence, and taught in Thy name, and in Thy name have cast out devils? |
6048 | They said( it was when I was in my troubles), What shall we do with this woman? |
6048 | Think thus with thyself, What, shall I lose a long heaven for short pleasure? |
6048 | Think you that they upon whom the tower of Siloam fell, were sinners above others? |
6048 | Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou didst put the lie upon my Father, and madest him, to Mansoul, the greatest deluder in the world? |
6048 | This beginning was bad, but what shall I say? |
6048 | This is manifest by the very name of the tree; it is called the tree of knowledge of good and evil; and have you that knowledge as yet? |
6048 | This is the reason of this inquiry, Did you come in at the gate? |
6048 | This is your hour, said He, and the power of darkness, when He cried out,''My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?'' |
6048 | This last has the body for his watch- house; the eyes and ears for his port- holes; the tongue therewith to cry, Who comes there? |
6048 | This was honest and plain; but what said Mr. Badman to her? |
6048 | Thou art in a strait, wilt thou fly before Moses, or with David fall into the hands of the Lord? |
6048 | Thou booby, say''st thou nothing but Cuckoo? |
6048 | Thou didst so wonderfully pour out thy wrath upon him, to the making of him cry out,''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'' |
6048 | Thou hast already been unfaithful in thy service to Him; and how dost thou think to receive wages of Him? |
6048 | Thou hast been a cumber- ground[104] long already, and wilt thou continue so still? |
6048 | Thou horrible wretch, dost not know that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now? |
6048 | Thou professest thou believest in Christ: is he thy joy, and the life of thy soul? |
6048 | Thou professest to believe thou hast a share in another world: hast thou let got THIS, barren fig- tree? |
6048 | Thou seemest angry, why dost on us frown? |
6048 | Thou simple bird, what makes thou here to play? |
6048 | Thou subject are to cold o''nights, When darkness is thy covering; At days thy danger''s great by kites, How can''st thou then sit there and sing? |
6048 | Thou talkest like one upon whose head is the shell to this very day; for what should he pawn them, or to whom should he sell them? |
6048 | Though men that have a great design, do, and must make use of those that in reason are most likely to effect it, yet must the Lord do so too? |
6048 | Through what righteousness? |
6048 | Thus, is Christ formed in me, the only hope of glory? |
6048 | Thus, when the godly among the Jews made prayers that rebellious Israel might not be cast out of the vineyard, what saith the answer of God? |
6048 | Thy sin has brought this army to thy walls, and shall it bring it in judgment to do execution into thy town? |
6048 | Time runs; and will you be slothful? |
6048 | To see a sea of brimstone burn, Who would it not affright? |
6048 | To whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest? |
6048 | True, he stopped the blow but for a time; but why did he stop it at all? |
6048 | True, the men were but mean in themselves; for what is Paul or what Apollos, or what was James or John? |
6048 | Tush, said Obstinate, away with your book; will you go back with us, or no? |
6048 | WHAT SHALL I SAY? |
6048 | Was He not angry with me? |
6048 | Was death strong upon him? |
6048 | Was it for that some special mercies laid obligations upon thee, or how? |
6048 | Was it good also that thou madest a prey of the innocency and simplicity of the now miserable town of Mansoul? |
6048 | Was it not, therefore, well worth the seeing? |
6048 | Was it, think you, that you might show yourselves women, and that you might go out like a company of innocents to gaze on your mortal foes? |
6048 | Was not her father a poor Amorite? |
6048 | Was not his mind elevated a thousand degrees beyond sense, carnal reasons, fleshly love, self- concerns, and the desires of embracing temporal things? |
6048 | Was that all that you saw at the house of the Interpreter? |
6048 | Was thy soul worth so much, and didst thou so little regard it? |
6048 | Was your father and mother willing that you should become a pilgrim? |
6048 | Wast robb''d? |
6048 | Wast thou not told of hell- fire, those intolerable flames? |
6048 | We look, said Paul, but whither? |
6048 | Well then, did you not know, about 10 years ago, one Temporary in your parts, who was a forward man in religion then? |
6048 | Well then, do you so run? |
6048 | Well then, sinner, what sayest thou? |
6048 | Well, and how did you answer him? |
6048 | Well, and how did you apply this to yourself? |
6048 | Well, and what conclusion came the old man and you to, at last? |
6048 | Well, and what did he think and do then? |
6048 | Well, but brother, I pray thee tell us what was it that was the cause of thy being upon thy knees even now? |
6048 | Well, but did Mr. Badman and his master agree so well? |
6048 | Well, but it seems he did live to come out of his time, but what did he then? |
6048 | Well, but mark the answer of God,''Son of man, What is the vine- tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest? |
6048 | Well, but now we are upon it, pray show me the difference between swearing and cursing; for there is a difference, is there not? |
6048 | Well, but pray return again to Mr. Badman; how did he carry it to his wife, after he was married to her? |
6048 | Well, but what art thou now? |
6048 | Well, but what did he do when all was almost gone? |
6048 | Well, but what makes you think he is gone to hell? |
6048 | Well, but what will you say to this question? |
6048 | Well, if you will not, will you give me leave to do it? |
6048 | Well, now suppose that a man, by an immediate hand of God, is brought to a morsel of bread, what must he do now? |
6048 | Well, said Mr. Great- heart, will you have the Pilgrims up into their lodging? |
6048 | Well, then, said Faithful, what is that one thing that we shall at this time found our discourse upon? |
6048 | Well, what shall be done for this man? |
6048 | Well, when they had, as I said, thus saluted each other, Mr. Money- love said to Mr. By- ends, Who are they upon the road before us? |
6048 | Well, you have told me what were Mr. Badman''s thoughts now, being sick, of his condition; pray tell me also what he then did when he was sick? |
6048 | Were all the world gracious, if God were not gracious, what was man the better? |
6048 | Were the thunder- claps of the law so terrible, and didst thou so slight them? |
6048 | Were they sinners above all men upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and slew them? |
6048 | Were they troubled at it? |
6048 | Were you dead, and are you made alive? |
6048 | What a dishonour to posterity was the death of Balaam, Agag, Ahithophel, Haman, Judas, Herod, with the rest of their companions? |
6048 | What a pitiful thing it is to be left in such a case? |
6048 | What ails this fly thus desperately to enter A combat with the candle? |
6048 | What are all these but such as Badman, and such as the young man but now mentioned? |
6048 | What are good thoughts concerning God? |
6048 | What are professors more than other men? |
6048 | What are the things you seek, since you leave all the world to find them? |
6048 | What art thou fit for, O Mansoul, if mercy preventeth not, but to be hewn down, and cast into the fire and burned? |
6048 | What be good thoughts respecting ourselves? |
6048 | What black, what ugly crawling thing art thou? |
6048 | What can a man do in this case? |
6048 | What can be more express? |
6048 | What can more fully declare the commonness of a thing? |
6048 | What can the lady or mistress do to defend herself against thieves and sturdy villains, if there be none but she at home? |
6048 | What comfort is here? |
6048 | What could the temple do without its watchmen? |
6048 | What did you do then? |
6048 | What do men meddle with religion for? |
6048 | What do they do in the vineyard? |
6048 | What do they mean? |
6048 | What do you do when you meet with such places therein that you do not understand? |
6048 | What do you find in the Word of God against such a practice as this of Mr. Badman''s is? |

6048 | Yea, what wilt thou then do, if death and hell shall come to visit thee, and thou in thy sins, and under the curse of the law? |
6048 | Yea, wrap thy head with clouds and hide thy face, As threatening to withdraw from us thy grace? |
6048 | You came in at the gate, did you not? |
6048 | You may ask me what that is? |
6048 | You say he was proud; but will you show me now some symptoms of one that is proud? |
6048 | You say true; but did you meet nobody else in that valley? |
6048 | You say well, for what fellowship hath he that believeth with an infidel? |
6048 | You speak mystically, do you not? |
6048 | You talk of rubs; what rubs have you met withal? |
6048 | You will say, what is that? |
6048 | Your souls are worth a thousand worlds; and will you be slothful? |
6048 | [ 108] What is meant by the Hill Difficulty? |
6048 | [ 112] Examine, which do you like better, self- soothing or soul- searching doctrine? |
6048 | [ 130] Reader, can you feed upon Christ by faith? |
6048 | [ 134] But did I laugh? |
6048 | [ 138] Can we wonder that the pilgrims longed to spend some time with such lovely companions? |
6048 | [ 140] Now the King, at the sight of the petition, was glad; but how much more think you, when it was seconded by his Son? |
6048 | [ 148] When he had left her, Prudence said, Did I not tell thee, that Mr. Brisk would soon forsake thee? |
6048 | [ 14] But I beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him what he did there? |
6048 | [ 15] But now, when did the day of grace end with this man? |
6048 | [ 162] Is not this too much the case with professors of this day? |
6048 | [ 163] What is this something that By- ends knew more than all the world? |
6048 | [ 167] Pretended friends come with such expostulations as these: Why, dear Sir, will you give such offence? |
6048 | [ 192] Look, said Christian, did not I tell you so? |
6048 | [ 192]What must the pure and holy Jesus have suffered when He tasted death in all its bitterness? |
6048 | [ 194] So on they went, and Joseph said, Can not we see to the end of this Valley as yet? |
6048 | [ 1] Was Christ slothful in the work of your redemption? |
6048 | [ 228] Then said Christian, What means this? |
6048 | [ 231] Then said Hopeful to the Shepherds, I perceive that these had on them, even every one, a show of pilgrimage, as we have now; had they not? |
6048 | [ 238] Now, is it not very common to hear professors talk at this rate? |
6048 | [ 242] Then they asked Mr. Feeble- mind how he fell into his hands? |
6048 | [ 248] What was this good thing? |
6048 | [ 254] Who can stand in the evil day of temptation, when beset with Faint- heart, Mistrust, and Guilt, backed by the power of their master, Satan? |
6048 | [ 257] Then said Mr. Contrite to them, Pray how fareth it with you in your pilgrimage? |
6048 | [ 267] Also, are we not now to walk by faith? |
6048 | [ 268] What can not Great- heart do? |
6048 | [ 276] Then said the Pilgrims, What means this? |
6048 | [ 27] Well, but whither do they go, that are thus gone out of the temple or church of God? |
6048 | [ 284] Then said Christian to Hopeful( but softly), Did I not tell you he cared not for our company? |
6048 | [ 288] How, then, dost thou say, I believe in Christ? |
6048 | [ 296] Then they said- Well, Ignorance, wilt thou yet foolish be, To slight good counsel, ten times given thee? |
6048 | [ 309] My soul, what''s lighter than a feather? |
6048 | [ 311] Who are these ministering spirits, that the author calls"men"? |
6048 | [ 312] Is she not rightly named Bubble? |
6048 | [ 312] What are these two difficulties? |
6048 | [ 39] Then said Christian, What means this? |
6048 | [ 3]"What shall I do?" |
6048 | [ 44] Sir, is it not time for me to go on my way now? |
6048 | [ 45]"In the midst of these heavenly instructions, why in such haste to go?" |
6048 | [ 47] Then said the Interpreter to Christian, Hast thou considered all these things? |
6048 | [ 59] What is this garden but the world? |
6048 | [ 60] What are these ill- favoured ones? |
6048 | [ 62] But why go back again? |
6048 | [ 6] I looked then, and saw a man named Evangelist coming to him, who asked,"Where fore dost thou cry?" |
6048 | [ 77] What say you, O my Mansoul? |
6048 | [ 78] But shall we be flattered out of our lives? |
6048 | [ 89]''Thou hast given credit to the truth''; what is this but faith-- the faith of the operation of God? |
6048 | [ 8] Barren fig- tree, can it be imagined that those that paint themselves did ever repent of their pride? |
6048 | [ 8] Before they took him his intent was to preach on these words,''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?'' |
6048 | [ 8] If thou now say, Which is the way? |
6048 | [ 99] Is there righteousness in Christ? |
6048 | [ But, pray, what talk have the people about him? |
6048 | [ Does it stun them?] |
6048 | always at it? |
6048 | and are these Christian''s children? |
6048 | and be The words of God in truth thy prop and stay? |
6048 | and by seeing the beams and sweet influences of the sun strike downwards? |
6048 | and did no more of them but you come out to escape the danger? |
6048 | and do not the members receive their whole light, guidance, and wisdom from it? |
6048 | and dost thou mingle thy tears with thy drink? |
6048 | and dost thou sigh and mourn in secret? |
6048 | and doth your life and conversation testify the same? |
6048 | and for what are they hanged there? |
6048 | and going on pilgrimage too? |
6048 | and how far go you this way? |
6048 | and if they think they shall know and do these, why not know others, and rejoice in their welfare also? |
6048 | and is all that thou hast to be ventured for his name in this world? |
6048 | and is also the life of Jesus''made manifest in thy mortal body?'' |
6048 | and is he more precious to thee than the whole world? |
6048 | and is not that a good life that is according to God''s commandments? |
6048 | and is there knowledge in the Most High?'' |
6048 | and may I lodge here tonight? |
6048 | and to be had upon no lower rates than thy immortal soul? |
6048 | and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?'' |
6048 | and what communion hath light with darkness? |
6048 | and what hath Emmanuel said? |
6048 | and what he would have? |
6048 | and what is your business here? |
6048 | and what would you have? |
6048 | and when so like to be weary, as when almost at their journey''s end? |
6048 | and whence he came? |
6048 | and while they thus call themselves, they should be the veriest rogues for all evil, sin, and villainy imaginable, who could help it? |
6048 | and whither are you bound? |
6048 | and who hath brought up these? |
6048 | and who shall repay him what he hath done? |
6048 | and why did he dispraise it, but of a covetous mind to wrong and beguile the seller? |
6048 | and, Will it go well with the town of Mansoul? |
6048 | are not even ye that have been converted by us? |
6048 | are not thy kindred as hardened as thou wast? |
6048 | are they forgotten? |
6048 | are they thrown over the bar? |
6048 | are you that countryman, then? |
6048 | art thou become like unto us?'' |
6048 | art thou resolved to sleep the sleep of death? |
6048 | be persuaded to pause a moment, and ask yourself the question- What is my case? |
6048 | because they would adorn the gospel? |
6048 | because they would beautify religion, and make sinners to fall in love with their own salvation? |
6048 | behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can not contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?'' |
6048 | but can it turn all things into grace? |
6048 | but doth thy life and conversation declare thee to be such an one? |
6048 | but where are thy fruits, barren fig- tree? |
6048 | but, Hath he fruit? |
6048 | but, Were you doers, or talkers only? |
6048 | can it make all things work together for good? |
6048 | can not you help me? |
6048 | can we suppose he will now admit of the wit and contrivance of men in those things that are, in comparison to them, the heavenly things themselves? |
6048 | canst thou think that God hath given thee this that thou mightest thereby make a prey of thy neighbour? |
6048 | did he die before he was born again? |
6048 | did he die in unbelief? |
6048 | did he light upon you? |
6048 | did he not behave himself valiantly? |
6048 | did your neighbours talk so? |
6048 | do they use to show such kind of favours to traitors? |
6048 | do you think she will go? |
6048 | dost the wanton play, Or doth thy testy humour tend its way? |
6048 | dost thou think to run fast enough with the world, thy sins and lusts in thy heart? |
6048 | for to him I would deliver my message?'' |
6048 | had he faith and holiness? |
6048 | has not this river pleasant streams? |
6048 | have I been unfaithful to Him? |
6048 | how can he see? |
6048 | how can that be, since they are hurtful? |
6048 | how hot will that make wrath? |
6048 | how long has it lasted? |
6048 | how shall I pass through this dark entry into another world? |
6048 | how she flies and sings,[20] But could she do so if she had not wings? |

6048 | in this so good a soil? |
6048 | is he''formed in me the hope of glory?'' |
6048 | is it little in thine eyes that our King doth offer thee mercy, and that, after so many provocations? |
6048 | is justifying, saving faith, nothing more than a belief of the truth? |
6048 | is not this excellent water? |
6048 | is old Good- deed yet alive in Mansoul? |
6048 | is she not a tall, comely dame, something of a swarthy complexion? |
6048 | is the celestial glory of so small esteem with him, that he counteth it not worth running the hazards of a few difficulties to obtain it? |

6048 | neighbour Christian, where are you now? |
6048 | neither hit last year nor this? |
6048 | no Mount Zion? |
6048 | now what shall we do? |
6048 | of a wicked man dying in despair? |
6048 | or did he die with ease, quietly? |
6048 | or is it muddy, and mixed with the doctrines of men? |
6048 | or must this silver palace be of that nature either? |
6048 | or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice them?'' |
6048 | or standeth your religion in word or in tongue, and not in deed and truth? |
6048 | or that he may, in a short time, have another of his fits before us, and may lose the use of his limbs? |
6048 | or that if they had known him and his life, yet to see him die so quietly, would they not have concluded that he had made his peace with God? |
6048 | or that those that pursue this world did ever repent of their covetousness? |
6048 | or that those that walk with wanton eyes did ever repent of their fleshly lusts? |
6048 | or that, at some time or other, he may forget to lock us in? |
6048 | or the devil endure that Christ Jesus should be honoured both by faith and a heavenly conversation, and let that soul alone at quiet? |

6048 | said Faithful to his brother, Who comes yonder? |
6048 | said Mr. Feeble- mind, is he slain? |
6048 | said old Honest, what should I think? |
6048 | said she,''and what the son of my womb? |
6048 | said she; will she not take warning by her husband''s afflictions? |
6048 | said the Porter, was he your husband? |

6048 | that thou mightest thereby go beyond and beguile thy neighbour? |
6048 | then let old Good- deed save you from your distresses? |
6048 | there is yet a question, Whether it may be well with thy soul at last? |
6048 | they think that she will be run down with a push, or, as they said,''What do these feeble Jews? |
6048 | to be in my case, who that so was could but have done so? |
6048 | to contemn him when he is on the throne, when he is on the throne of his glory? |

6048 | whom have I oppressed?'' |
6048 | why do you think they consider that? |
6048 | why else do men so soon grow weary? |
6048 | why then do the fallen angels tremble there? |
6048 | wife and children, and all? |
6048 | will you not believe your own eyes? |
6048 | wilt thou go to hell for sin, or to life by grace? |
6048 | wilt thou not yet set open thy gate to receive us, the deputies of thy King, and those that would rejoice to see thee live? |
6048 | wilt thou turn, or shall I smite? |
6048 | would they not call thee a thousand fools? |
6048 | would you have us trust to what Christ, in His own person, has done without us? |
6048 | wouldst thou swim? |
6047 | And God said unto Noah,or told Noah his purpose: The same way he went with Abraham:"Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?" |

6047 | A Creator; what is it that a Creator can not do? |
6047 | A day for a man to afflict his soul? |
6047 | A faithful Creator; what is it that one that is faithful will not do, that is, when he is engaged? |
6047 | A faithful man will encourage one much; how much more should the faithfulness of God encourage us? |
6047 | A good cause, what is that? |
6047 | A life regulated by a moral law, what hurt is in that? |
6047 | A man that nameth the name of Christ, and that departeth not from iniquity, to whom may he be compared? |
6047 | A most appalling murder has been committed;--a virtuous and pious young man is brutally murdered by his only brother:--what is the divine judgment? |
6047 | A new covenant, and why not then a new resting day to the church? |
6047 | A resurrection-- of what? |
6047 | A self- righteous man therefore can come to God for mercy none otherwise than fawningly: For what need of mercy hath a righteous man? |
6047 | A type in what? |
6047 | A while after this, as was hinted before, the Christians will begin with detestation to ask what Antichrist was? |
6047 | A work did I say? |
6047 | Again, But do you not follow them with clamours and out- cries, that their communion, even amongst themselves, is unwarrantable? |
6047 | Again, But who has the perfect knowledge of all these things? |
6047 | Again, What kind of righteousness of thine, is this, that standeth in a misplacing, and so consequently in a misesteeming of God''s commands? |
6047 | Again, if thy parents, and thou also, be godly, how happy a thing is this? |
6047 | Again, if you say he hath no other body but his church, then I ask, What that was that was taken down from the cross? |
6047 | Again, is there such a length? |
6047 | Again, see Peter''s testimony of this Son of Mary; When Jesus asked his disciples, whom say ye that I am? |
6047 | Again, what needed the woman to have a place of shelter in the wilderness, when there was no war made against her? |
6047 | Again,"Whether I am come to one of the days of the thousand years?" |
6047 | Again,''What is man, that he should be clean? |
6047 | All God''s children are criers-- cannot you be quiet without you have a bellyful of the milk of God''s Word? |
6047 | All this, what does it argue, I say, but thy diffidence of God? |
6047 | Also that he may deny to give them that grace that would preserve them from sin, without being guilty of their damnation? |
6047 | Also whether reprobation be the cause of condemnation? |
6047 | And I say again, if one sin, the least sin deserveth all these things, what thinkest thou do all thy sins deserve? |
6047 | And I say again, this is the work of a Creator, and a Creator can maintain it in its gallantry, FOOTNOTE? |
6047 | And I say again, wherefore has he so plainly told us of his greatness, and of what he can do? |
6047 | And Jesus said to them,''Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?'' |
6047 | And Paul asked them, Whether they had yet''received the Holy Ghost?'' |
6047 | And again( Gal 3:2,5 compared together),''Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law,[ saith the Apostle] or by the hearing of faith?'' |
6047 | And again, What he hath made crooked, who can make straight? |
6047 | And again, some of them that are for infant baptism die for that as a truth? |
6047 | And again, where Judas( not Iscariot) said; Lord, how is it, that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not unto the world? |
6047 | And again,"If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?" |
6047 | And again,"Whom shall I send, and who will go for US?" |
6047 | And again,''Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? |
6047 | And albeit, saith Satan, thou prayest sometimes, yet is not thy heart possessed with a belief that God will not regard thee? |
6047 | And all the rest they baptized, were they not left free to join themselves for their convenience and edification? |
6047 | And are not you the same? |
6047 | And are you able thus to imitate him? |
6047 | And are you willing to stand by their judgment in the case? |
6047 | And art thou now as perfectly innocent as ever was Jesus Christ? |
6047 | And can you prove it by the scripture? |
6047 | And consequently how could he lift up his face unto God? |
6047 | And did ever God send an ordinance to be a pest and plague to his people?'' |
6047 | And did you not then believe, and do you not still believe, that you were true members of Christ, though less perfect? |
6047 | And dost thou count this a corrupted grain of Babylon''s treasure? |
6047 | And dost thou desire this medicine? |
6047 | And dost thou not rejoice in secret, that thou art the same that thou ever wert? |
6047 | And dost thou think, this is, indeed, the way to be righteous? |
6047 | And doth he not make his pots according to his pleasure? |
6047 | And doth he take charge of them as a Creator? |
6047 | And doth immodest apparel, with stretched- out necks, naked breasts, a made speech, and mincing gaits,& c., argue mortification of lusts? |
6047 | And doth not the Lord as well require the sign of baptism now, as of circumcision then? |
6047 | And doth this look like a visible church- state? |
6047 | And from sense and reason they will have ground to think so; for who now is left in the world any more to make head against them? |
6047 | And gain, how came it thither, how got the soul possession of it, while it was unjustified? |
6047 | And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" |
6047 | And he said, I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
6047 | And he said, how long Would it have been, e''er you had understood This thing, had you not with my heifer plow''d? |
6047 | And his name not be but of a common regard on that day? |
6047 | And how are they to consider of themselves, even then when they first are apprehensive of their need of this righteousness? |
6047 | And how bitterly did David mourn for his son, who died in his wickedness? |
6047 | And how can a man that went last time out of his closet to be naught, have the face to come thither again? |
6047 | And how cold is the love of many at this day? |
6047 | And how could the people believe and embrace it? |
6047 | And how could we have seen it to purpose, had not God left some to themselves? |
6047 | And how else could they obey that command that bids them rejoice in tribulation, and glorify God in the fires? |
6047 | And how hath Christ lightened every man if not within him?" |
6047 | And how kindly did our Lord Jesus take it, to see the little children run tripping before him, and crying, Hosannah to the Son of David? |
6047 | And how must it be reckoned to them? |
6047 | And how say you? |
6047 | And how sayest thou? |
6047 | And if so, Whether they might not obtain at least, some little of the mercy, as well as those women? |
6047 | And if so, what follows? |
6047 | And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" |
6047 | And if thou shouldest be so now, what hast thou gained thereby? |
6047 | And if we know not every one of all these things to the full, how shall we know to the full the love of Christ which saveth us from them all? |
6047 | And if ye be followers of that which is good, who will harm you( 1 Peter 3:13)? |
6047 | And if you ask, How is it possible that this should be done? |
6047 | And if your brethren only you salute, What more than they do ye? |
6047 | And in that he saith''There remains a rest,''referring to that of David, what is it, if it signifies not, that the other rests remain not? |
6047 | And indeed so he does with"Adam, where art thou?" |
6047 | And into what church did Philip baptize the eunuch, or the apostle the jailor and his house? |
6047 | And is all this no good? |
6047 | And is hope, that this day is approaching, a reviving cordial to thee? |
6047 | And is not Boaz, with whose maids thou wast, One of the nearest kinsmen that thou hast? |
6047 | And is not his will the only rule of his mercy? |
6047 | And is that all? |
6047 | And is that all? |
6047 | And is that within the creature, or without, that worketh the new birth?" |
6047 | And is there toward us love in Christ that passeth knowledge? |
6047 | And is this to keep the first table; yea, the first branch of that table, which saith,"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God?" |
6047 | And may he not, without he give offence to thee, lay hold by electing love and mercy on whom himself pleaseth? |
6047 | And must baptism be such a rock of offence to professors, that very few will enquire after it, or submit to it? |
6047 | And must those that shall live to see those days, rejoice when these things begin to come to pass? |
6047 | And now I add, Is not this to deliver them to the devil( 1 Cor 5), or to put them to shame before all that see your acts? |
6047 | And now I ask what kind of christian correspondency you have with them? |
6047 | And now I ask, What was the reason that God continued his presence with this church notwithstanding this transgression? |
6047 | And now having said this much, wherein have I derogated from the glory and holiness of Christ? |
6047 | And now is it not to be wondered at, and are we not to be affected herewith, saying, And wilt thou set thine eye upon such an one? |
6047 | And now, behold, when Jacob had been told That there was corn in Egypt to be sold, He said unto his sons, Why stand ye thus? |
6047 | And observe, it is not said, that Noah shut the door, but the Lord shut him in: If God shuts in or out, who can alter it? |
6047 | And of what nation? |
6047 | And on the other hand, how often has the disjointing of the body, and the breakings thereof, occasioned the expiration of the spirit? |
6047 | And p. 26. where in answer to this question of mine; Why did the Man Christ hang on the cross on Mount Calvary? |
6047 | And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him?" |
6047 | And shall not I? |
6047 | And shall we not imitate our Lord, nor the church that was immediately acted[21] by him in this, and the churches their fellows? |
6047 | And shall we not take that notice thereof as to follow the Lord Jesus and the churches herein? |
6047 | And that if they had light therein, they would as willingly do it as you? |
6047 | And that is according to the whole stream of scripture: For by one offering, What was that? |
6047 | And then, I pray you, what is left unto God, and what can he call his own? |
6047 | And then,& c. And why was not this done on the seventh day sabbath? |
6047 | And they knew it: Why, did they not know it before? |
6047 | And this is one ground( at least) why he hanged on the cross,& c. Ha Friend? |
6047 | And this is that which Peter intends when he saith,"And if ye be followers of that which is good, who will harm you?" |
6047 | And thus much doth this man Christ Jesus testify unto us where he saith he shall glorify me; mark,"He shall glorify;"( saith the Son of Mary)but how? |
6047 | And to distressed Jonah, said the Lord, Dost thou well to be angry for the gourd? |
6047 | And was not there a time when you did not so well understand the nature and extent of pride and covetousness as now you do? |
6047 | And was there not in all these things love, and love that was infinite? |
6047 | And were they all served so? |
6047 | And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? |
6047 | And what can such an one say for himself in the judgment, that shall be charged with the abuse of love? |
6047 | And what concord hath Christ with Belial? |
6047 | And what day so fit as the Lord''s day for this? |
6047 | And what encouragement has a man to suffer for Christ, whose heart can not believe, and whose soul he can not commit to God to keep it? |
6047 | And what follows? |
6047 | And what hath he received of thy hand? |
6047 | And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous, as all this law,''said Moses, which I set before you this day?'' |
6047 | And what need was there of any of this, if Paul could, as he would, have departed from iniquity? |
6047 | And what says the Apostle? |
6047 | And what shall he do now, that is a stranger to this breadth, made mention of in the text? |
6047 | And what shall he do when he comes? |
6047 | And what then? |
6047 | And what then? |
6047 | And when did the Spirit of Christ convince thee of sin, because thou didst not believe in him? |
6047 | And when did we see thee an hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? |
6047 | And when unto her mother- in- law she came, Art thou, said she, my daughter come again? |
6047 | And where hast thou been working? |
6047 | And where is it, within or without?" |
6047 | And where is this man, that was born of the virgin, that we may come to the Father by him? |
6047 | And where that practical holiness that formerly used to be seen in the houses, lives and conversations of professors? |
6047 | And whereas thou askest, is not he a deceiver, that exhorts people to anything else than the light of Christ? |
6047 | And whereas thou asketh, whether the fault be then in God, or in that thou callest his light, or in the creature? |
6047 | And whereas you ask me,"What is that which worketh faith? |
6047 | And whereas you ask me,"do they that are born of God commit sin?" |
6047 | And whereas you ask, What is the sight of God? |
6047 | And wherefore doth he thus, but to beget an expectation in them of their salvation and deliverance? |
6047 | And whether doth he that is born of God commit sin? |
6047 | And whether it be lawful for them so to do?" |
6047 | And whether it be not lawful for them so to do? |
6047 | And who can abide the fierceness of his anger? |
6047 | And who can say, my heart is clean? |
6047 | And who could have found in their hearts to shut the door upon such an one? |
6047 | And who could have thought, that the other had been a good man? |
6047 | And who will dare to make any addition to holy writ? |
6047 | And whose word shall stand? |
6047 | And why are the women commanded silence there, if they may congregate by themselves, and set up and manage worship there? |
6047 | And why can they not as well keep the other sabbaths? |
6047 | And why do the scriptures say,"that through this man is preached to us the forgiveness of sins?" |
6047 | And why do they with pride trick up the body, if it be not to provoke both themselves and others to lusts? |
6047 | And why dost thou take notice of the mote That''s in thy brother''s eye; but dost not note The beam that''s in thine own? |
6047 | And why follow the apish fashions of the world? |
6047 | And why for raiment are ye taking thought? |
6047 | And why may not I give it the name of a shew; when you call it a symbol, and compare it to a gentleman''s livery? |
6047 | And why shall he that doth most for God in this world, enjoy most of him in that which is to come? |
6047 | And why should it not be accounted to him for righteousness? |
6047 | And why should not credence be given to that gospel that is confirmed by blood, the blood of the Son of God himself? |
6047 | And why should not the kings have it granted unto them, that she should fall by their hand? |
6047 | And why should we not have the benefit of the righteousness, while we are ungodly, since it was completed for us while we were yet ungodly? |
6047 | And why so? |
6047 | And why, but because God himself maintains the enmity? |
6047 | And why? |
6047 | And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?'' |
6047 | And with his works he perfected his faith? |
6047 | And would it not be an insufferable thing? |
6047 | And would you be doing this? |
6047 | And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?'' |
6047 | And"who hath required this at your hand?" |
6047 | And, Use First, Is there such breadth, and length, and depth, and height in God, for us? |
6047 | And, What he did in the world? |
6047 | And, are there no public Christians, or public christian meetings, but them of your way? |
6047 | And, whether there was a secret or mystery in this work containing the truth of some higher thing? |
6047 | Answer, friend, dost thou put no difference betwixt the speaking of Christ without, and believing in Christ without? |
6047 | Any thing but truth; but I would know how sincerely righteous they were that were justified without works? |
6047 | Are God''s people a suffering people? |
6047 | Are all the elect, the seed, the saved, the vessels of mercy, the chosen and peculiar? |
6047 | Are her plagues pleasant or easy to be borne? |
6047 | Are not even ye,"saith Paul,"in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
6047 | Are not my words verbatim these? |
6047 | Are not some, yea the most, the children of the flesh, the rest, the lost, the vessels of wrath, of dishonour, and the children of perdition? |
6047 | Are not these things rather a sign that the utter overthrow of the church of God is at the door? |
6047 | Are not they part of the scriptures of truth? |
6047 | Are not you commanded to keep out of the church all that are not circumcised? |
6047 | Are not, now- a- days, the bulk of professors like those that''strain at a gnat and swallow a camel?'' |
6047 | Are there yet any more sons in my womb, That may your husbands be in time to come? |
6047 | Are they purified, are they clean that name the name of Christ? |
6047 | Are they to be the audible mouth there, before all, to God? |
6047 | Are they to think, that they are righteous or sinners? |
6047 | Are things thus ordered? |
6047 | Are we for war? |
6047 | Are we stronger than he?'' |
6047 | Are ye not CARNAL, CARNAL, CARNAL? |
6047 | Are ye so foolish? |
6047 | Are you at that door, my brother? |
6047 | Are you brought out of the dark dungeon of this world into Christ? |
6047 | Are you commanded to reject them; If yea, where is it? |
6047 | Are you in affliction for your profession? |
6047 | Are you not sensible that such a one As I, can certainly thereof make trial? |
6047 | Art bound for hell against all wind and weather? |
6047 | Art like to him, that needs must step a mile At every stride, or think it not worth while To follow Christ? |
6047 | Art one of those whose fears do go beyond Their faith? |
6047 | Art thou a Publican? |
6047 | Art thou a professor? |
6047 | Art thou born again? |
6047 | Art thou born again? |
6047 | Art thou born again? |
6047 | Art thou born again? |
6047 | Art thou born again? |
6047 | Art thou born again? |
6047 | Art thou born again? |
6047 | Art thou not a graceless wretch? |
6047 | Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep, that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?" |
6047 | Art thou taken? |
6047 | Art weary? |
6047 | As David said,"Shall I lift up mine yes to the hills? |
6047 | As Moses said, and that long before the law was given,"Sirs, ye are brethren, why do ye wrong one another?" |
6047 | As Paul saith, What communion hath light with darkness? |
6047 | As for example; Would a parishioner learn to be proud? |
6047 | As for instance at home; could not some of those called Baptists die in opposing infant baptism? |
6047 | As if he had said, Do you profess Christianity? |
6047 | As many as walk according to this rule: What rule? |
6047 | As soon as ever God had touched the jailer, he cries out,''Men and brethren, what must I do to be saved?'' |
6047 | As the sabbath of months, of years, and the jubilee? |
6047 | As to the query, What reason is there, why the Lord should suffer any of his ordinances to be lost? |
6047 | As to the second head, what need is there that the righteousness of Christ should be imputed, where men are righteous first? |
6047 | As touching the beauty and goodness that was in the object unto which they were allured; What was it? |
6047 | As who should say, Wherefore do I deny myself of those mercies and privileges that the men of this world enjoy? |
6047 | As"Ely said to Hannah, How long wilt thou be drunken? |
6047 | As, how many good men and good women do unawares, through their uncircumspectness, drive their own children down into the deep? |
6047 | As, who should say, My brethren, are you troubled and persecuted for your faith? |
6047 | Ask thy heart, What evil dost thou see in sin? |
6047 | At the Lord''s table, I do eat; what though? |
6047 | At this( as I said) you object, and say,''Did I ever find baptism a pest or plague to churches? |
6047 | Ay, but when didst thou see thyself a lost creature for want of faith in the son of Mary? |
6047 | Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
6047 | Because the neglect of the law will be sure to damn them; therefore wouldst thou put poor souls to follow that which will not save them? |
6047 | Because then it had been in vain for the Lord to have given the scriptures to teach men out of, either concerning himself or themselves: Why? |
6047 | Because''the children are partakers of flesh and blood; he also himself likewise took part of the same''; To what end? |
6047 | Being justified freely by his grace: How? |
6047 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
6047 | Believing what? |
6047 | Besides, if this be granted, why had not God respect to Cain''s offering, as well as to Abel''s? |
6047 | Besides, oppression makes a wise man mad; and when a man is mad what evils will he not do? |
6047 | Besides, the proposition is universal, why then should you be the chief intended? |
6047 | Besides, the threatening being pressed with an''How shall we escape?'' |
6047 | Besides, to what particular church was the epistle to the Hebrews wrote? |
6047 | Blessed are they that do make peace; for why? |
6047 | Both those of Peter, and the first of John? |
6047 | Brethren what profit is''t if a man saith That he hath faith, and hath not works; can faith Save him? |
6047 | But I ask, how came nature to be so weak, but through sin? |
6047 | But I fear I am lost and cast away, Sentence is past, and who reverse it may? |
6047 | But I say, suppose it should be granted, is it because reprobation made him incapable, or sin? |
6047 | But I say, what can the church do more to the sinners or open profane? |
6047 | But I say, where is thy love to thine enemy? |
6047 | But I say, wherein is the proposition offensive? |
6047 | But I say, who can tell, who can tell altogether, what and how much the Father delighted in his Son before the world began? |
6047 | But I say, who understandeth this? |
6047 | But I say, why did John call them vipers? |
6047 | But I would ask these men,''If the word of God came out from them? |
6047 | But Naomi replied, Wherefore will ye, My daughters, thus resolve to go with me? |
6047 | But again, Why should you be so angry with my brother, for joining of a sinner and a liar together? |
6047 | But all along Christ compareth his love to ours; now, why doth he so, if they be so much alike? |
6047 | But am I so? |
6047 | But are not good works the righteousness of faith? |
6047 | But are these words of faith? |
6047 | But are you out of that wilderness mentioned? |
6047 | But are you sure it is the same that we look for? |
6047 | But as Adam fell with us in him, so did he not by faith rise with us in him? |
6047 | But as to the matter in hand, What positive precept do they transgress that will not reject him that God bids us receive, if he want light in baptism? |
6047 | But by what rule then would you gather persons into church communion? |
6047 | But by what rule would you receive them into fellowship with yourselves? |
6047 | But can not the church, and every woman in it, build up themselves without their woman''s meetings? |
6047 | But can women no other way be built up in their most holy faith, but by meetings of their own without their men? |
6047 | But can you commit your soul to their ministry, and join with them in prayer; and yet not count them meet for other gospel privileges? |
6047 | But did this man rise again from the dead, that very man, with that very body wherewith he was crucified? |
6047 | But do kings use to die for captive slaves? |
6047 | But do not the scriptures make mention of a Christ within? |
6047 | But do you speak seriously, and in good earnest? |
6047 | But do you think it is because of the first? |
6047 | But do you think this is certain? |
6047 | But dost thou plead by thy righteousness, for mercy for thyself? |
6047 | But doth not a man bring forth fruit unto God, that walketh orderly according to the ten commandments? |
6047 | But doth that install it in that place and dignity, that was never intended for it? |
6047 | But doth this bloody city spill this blood by herself simply, as she is the adulterated whore? |
6047 | But farther, thou sayest; Is it not the whole mystery of salvation, God manifested in the flesh? |
6047 | But further: Do we not all agree, that men that preach the gospel should do it like workmen that need not be ashamed? |
6047 | But good Sir, are you now for unwritten verities? |
6047 | But good Sir, why so short- winded? |
6047 | But hath he no better thoughts of his own good deeds, which are by the law? |
6047 | But he answereth, What, mean ye to weep, and to break my heart? |
6047 | But he said, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? |
6047 | But hold, dost thou do it with the Publican''s heart, sense, dread and simplicity? |
6047 | But hold, stay; wherefore? |
6047 | But how are we by this man forgiven this? |
6047 | But how are we justified by this man''s obedience? |
6047 | But how came Diotrephes so lately into our parts? |
6047 | But how came the apostle by this confidence of his well- being and of his share in another world? |
6047 | But how can God respect a man, before he respect his offering? |
6047 | But how can that be, since no affliction for the present seems joyous? |
6047 | But how can that be, where the heart is not sanctified and made holy? |
6047 | But how comes this to be a SIGN of the approach of the ruin of Antichrist? |
6047 | But how could be either the one or the other, if the seventh day sabbath was taught to men by the light of nature, which is the moral law? |
6047 | But how could he be naked, when before he had made himself an apron? |
6047 | But how did he undertake them? |
6047 | But how dost thou know that thou shalt continue therein? |
6047 | But how indifferent? |
6047 | But how is it that they are there? |
6047 | But how is this similitude pertinent? |
6047 | But how little of this is found among men? |
6047 | But how long ago? |
6047 | But how must he take away the curse? |
6047 | But how must that be done? |
6047 | But how must this be done? |
6047 | But how shall Christ by this rod, sword, or spirit of his mouth, consume this wicked, this mystery of iniquity? |
6047 | But how shall I bring it to pass? |
6047 | But how shall I know that I am born again? |
6047 | But how shall kings do it? |
6047 | But how shall we know when this time is come? |
6047 | But how should I serve God? |
6047 | But how then doth it say, that the knowledge of God is manifested in them? |
6047 | But how then is he clear from having a hand in the death of him that perisheth? |
6047 | But how then must Jesus Christ, first save us from the filth? |
6047 | But how then must they see him? |
6047 | But how were they that had got the victory? |
6047 | But how will he make her naked? |
6047 | But how will you prove that there was a church, a rightly constituted church, at Rome, besides that in Aquila''s house? |
6047 | But how, or why doth the leaf, or the fig fall from the tree? |
6047 | But how? |
6047 | But how? |
6047 | But how? |
6047 | But how? |
6047 | But how? |
6047 | But how? |
6047 | But how? |
6047 | But how? |
6047 | But how? |
6047 | But if I fly, some will blame me: what must I do now? |
6047 | But if faith doth so naturally cause good works, what then is the reason that God''s people find it so hard a matter to be fruitful in good works? |
6047 | But if indeed the first day of the week be the new christian sabbath, why is there no more spoken of its institution in the testament of Christ? |
6047 | But if it be changed, then how can it be the same? |
6047 | But is there a member who dares to violate them? |
6047 | But is there yet another reason why this holy duty should, in special as it is, be commanded to be performed on the first day of the week? |
6047 | But is there, therefore, no need at all of good works, because a man is justified before God without them? |
6047 | But is this a sign of the approach of the ruin of Antichrist? |
6047 | But is this all the wit thou hast? |
6047 | But may we not fly in a time of persecution? |
6047 | But might not God have kept Adam from inclining, if he would? |
6047 | But might they not be healed by humbling themselves? |
6047 | But my husband is an unbeliever; what shall I do? |
6047 | But now I would inquire: Had Israel done the commandment, if they had eaten the passover raw, or boiled in water? |
6047 | But now if other men should do as this man, how many universal churches should we have? |
6047 | But perhaps some may ask me, WHAT INIQUITY THEY MUST DEPART FROM THAT RELIGIOUSLY NAME THE NAME OF CHRIST? |
6047 | But perhaps thy heart is so hard, and thy mind so united to the pleasing of thy vile affections, that thou wilt say,''What care I for my servant? |
6047 | But put the case I had failed herein, Doth this warrant your unlawful practice? |
6047 | But saith the open profane, why can not we be reckoned saints also? |
6047 | But say you,"Did he put and end to the law for them who still live in transgression?" |
6047 | But say you,''We have now found an advocate for sin against God, in the breach of one of HIS holy commands?'' |
6047 | But say you,''Wherein lies the force of this man''s argument against baptism as to its place, worth, and continuance?'' |
6047 | But say you,''Who taught you to divide betwixt Christ and his precepts, that you word it at such a rate? |
6047 | But sayest thou, I will be righteous in myself that I may have wherewith to commend me to God, when I go to him for mercy? |
6047 | But says one, Would you have us singular? |
6047 | But secondly, I pray where was Christ when he spake those words? |
6047 | But shall I speak the truth for you? |
6047 | But shall he not lose his body before he come again? |
6047 | But shall we be sure of it? |
6047 | But since he can do so, why doth he suffer this, and that thing to appear, to act, and do so horribly repugnant to his word? |
6047 | But still the question is, Whether God by this his determination doth not lay a necessity on the creature to sin? |
6047 | But suppose they were all baptized, because they had light therein, what then? |
6047 | But thou wilt say unto me, Why do men profess the name of Christ that love not to depart from iniquity? |
6047 | But to lay open my folly at last thou sayest, Doth not the scripture say, Christ is within you, except ye be reprobates? |
6047 | But was not Adam unexpectedly surprised? |
6047 | But was that a sufficient shelter against either thorn or thistle? |
6047 | But were not these gentlemen more afraid of losing their own places and preferments, than of the king''s losing of his toll and custom? |
6047 | But what Jesus? |
6047 | But what acts of disobedience do we indulge them in? |
6047 | But what aileth the Pharisee? |
6047 | But what be these certain circumstances? |
6047 | But what be these other precepts? |
6047 | But what blessedness doth follow the imputation of the righteousness of Christ, to one that is yet ungodly? |
6047 | But what could not the law do? |
6047 | But what day is this? |
6047 | But what day? |
6047 | But what did the raven then do? |
6047 | But what do we more than talk of them? |
6047 | But what doth your arguing reprove?'' |
6047 | But what follows? |
6047 | But what follows? |
6047 | But what follows? |
6047 | But what if they that were stung, could not, because of the swelling of their face, look up to the brazen serpent? |
6047 | But what is committing of the soul to God? |
6047 | But what is impossible to a Creator? |
6047 | But what is it to a child? |
6047 | But what is it to be of the works of the law, or under the law? |
6047 | But what is it to believe in Christ: and what to have faith in his blood? |
6047 | But what is it to believe that he is Messias, or Christ? |
6047 | But what is it to turn from the law to the Lord? |
6047 | But what is the cause of all this slaying, and the reason of this abundance of corpses? |
6047 | But what is the spirit of the world? |
6047 | But what is there in my proposition, that men, considerate, can be offended at? |
6047 | But what is this doctrine? |
6047 | But what kind of being had the seventh day sabbath, and other Jewish rites and ceremonies, that by Christ''s resurrection were taken away? |
6047 | But what man in the world can do this whose heart is not seasoned with the love of God and the love of Christ? |
6047 | But what manner of nakedness was it? |
6047 | But what need I grant you, that which can not be proved? |
6047 | But what of that, since the wrinkles that are in their faces threaten not us but them? |
6047 | But what righteousness have you of your own, to which you so dearly are wedded, that it may not be let go, for the sake of Christ? |
6047 | But what saith it? |
6047 | But what saith the apostle? |
6047 | But what saith the jealous Lord? |
6047 | But what salvation? |
6047 | But what shall I do, I can not depart therefrom as I should? |
6047 | But what shall I do, who am so cold, slothful, and heartless, that I can not find any heart to do any work for God in this world? |
6047 | But what shall I say unto them? |
6047 | But what should I thus discourse of the degrees of the torments of the damned souls in hell? |
6047 | But what should men believe with the heart? |
6047 | But what should they believe? |
6047 | But what should we do with such kind of saints? |
6047 | But what things are they? |
6047 | But what unbecoming language is this for the children of the same father, members of the same body, and heirs of the same glory, to be accustomed to? |
6047 | But what was Sheshach? |
6047 | But what was the spirit of Diotrephes? |
6047 | But what''s the reason? |
6047 | But what, because they are not baptized, have they not Jesus Christ? |
6047 | But what, if when he hath used it, he still continueth dark about it; what will you advise him now? |
6047 | But what? |
6047 | But when? |
6047 | But whence came this but from an inward feeling by faith of the love of God, and of Christ, which passeth knowledge? |
6047 | But where are they here forbidden to teach them other truths before they be baptized? |
6047 | But where should we find him? |
6047 | But where were they taken, or about what were they found? |
6047 | But who knows all this? |
6047 | But why can you indulge the baptists in many acts of disobedience? |
6047 | But why could it not be that they should perish other where? |
6047 | But why did you not answer these parts of my argument? |
6047 | But why do YOU throw out FAITH? |
6047 | But why is covetousness called idolatry? |
6047 | But why it is said, Generations? |
6047 | But why must he be imposed upon? |
6047 | But why must the women have shame- facedness, since they live honestly as the men? |
6047 | But why not meddle with Cain, since he was a murderer? |
6047 | But why not? |
6047 | But why peace first? |
6047 | But why rejoice in this? |
6047 | But why should HE be rebuked, that said he was for Christ? |
6047 | But why so much offended at this? |
6047 | But why the seventh day? |
6047 | But why then did he thus abhor them? |
6047 | But why then were they baptized? |
6047 | But why then were they not circumcised? |
6047 | But why to Abel? |
6047 | But why was he crucified there for the sins of his children? |
6047 | But why was he true God and true man? |
6047 | But why was not all this done on the seventh day? |
6047 | But why would they take from us the Holy Scriptures? |
6047 | But why( some may say) must we come out? |
6047 | But why, I say, is this day, on which our Lord rose from the dead, nominated as it is? |
6047 | But why? |
6047 | But with the voice of my thanksgiving, I Will offer sacrifice to thee on high, And pay my vows which I have vow''d, each one, For why? |
6047 | But would you be imitating of, or accomplishing such a righteousness? |
6047 | But wouldest thou change places with them? |
6047 | But ye will say, Who are those ignorant persons, that shall find no favour at that day? |
6047 | But you ask me,''If outward and bodily conformity be become a crime?'' |
6047 | But you ask,''Is my peace maintained in a way of disobedience? |
6047 | But you ask,''Might they do so when they came into Canaan?'' |
6047 | But you bid me tell you,''What I mean by spirit baptism?'' |
6047 | But you descant; Is baptism one of the laws of Christ? |
6047 | But you may ask, How did God deal with sinners before this righteousness was actually in being? |
6047 | But you may ask, what is that righteousness, with which a Christian is made righteous before he doth righteousness? |
6047 | But you may say, how can you prove that conscience is not of the same nature, of the Spirit of Christ? |
6047 | But you object,''Must our love to the unbaptized indulge them in an act of disobedience? |
6047 | But you say, Doth it not lead to God all that follow it? |
6047 | But you tell me,''I use the arguments of the paedo- baptist, to wit, But where are infants forbidden to be baptized?'' |
6047 | But you will say, The scripture saith, he that descended is the same that ascended, which to me( say you) implies, none but the Spirit''s ascending? |
6047 | But you will say, What, will not the Lord have mercy on ignorant souls? |
6047 | But you will say, Who shall stand when he appears? |
6047 | But you will say, doth not the scripture say, that it is the Spirit of Christ that doth make manifest or convince of sin? |
6047 | But you will say, might they not be deceived? |
6047 | But you will say, upon what then was the threatening and the command to punish grounded? |
6047 | But you will say, what lies are those, that the devil beguileth poor souls withal? |
6047 | But"who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord?" |
6047 | But, Again, Wouldest thou have mercy for thy righteousness? |
6047 | But, I say, how will they fail? |
6047 | But, I say, if thou do it graciously, then a reward followeth;"For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? |
6047 | But, Sir, Are none but those of your way the public Christians? |
6047 | But, Sir, since you are not peremptory in your proof; how came you to be so absolute in your practice? |
6047 | But, Sir, who have I pleaded for, in the denial of any one ordinance of God? |
6047 | But, What, What hast thou done by thy righteousness? |
6047 | But, may some say, what good will it do a man to know that the love of Christ passeth knowledge? |
6047 | By his being able to judge by nature, that there is such a thing as sin; as Christ saith,"Why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?" |
6047 | By rest here, must needs be understood those not elect, because set one in opposition to the other; and if not elect, what then but reprobate? |
6047 | By what law? |
6047 | By which of the ten commandments is trusting to our own righteousness forbidden? |
6047 | By which professors seem willingly led, though against so many plain commands and examples, written as with a sun beam, that he that runs may read? |
6047 | Can a man be happy that is ignorant that he is hanging over hell by the poor weak thread of an uncertain life? |
6047 | Can a man be happy, that is ignorant that he is without God and Christ, and hope? |
6047 | Can no good thing come to us out of this? |
6047 | Can not we love their persons, parts, graces, but we must love their sins?'' |
6047 | Can olives, brethren, on a fig- tree grow, Or figs on vines? |
6047 | Can pride be where a soul for mercy craves? |
6047 | Can repentance be where godly sorrow is not? |
6047 | Can the same reason, or anything like it, for refusing baptism, be given now?'' |
6047 | Can we wonder that such a state of society was not long permitted to exist? |
6047 | Can we wonder that those who preached the holy, humbling, self- denying doctrines of the cross, were persecuted to the death? |
6047 | Can you build and leave out a stone in the foundation? |
6047 | Canst thou, after a due examination of thyself, say that as to these things thou art innocent and clear? |
6047 | Cast devils out, done wonders in the same? |
6047 | Christ indeed could mount up( Acts 1:9), but me, poor me, how shall I get thither? |
6047 | Civil commerce you will have with the worst, and what more have you with these? |
6047 | Consequently, who can understand the love that saves him from them? |
6047 | Consider, What conviction of thy goodness can the actions that flow from such a spirit give unto observers? |
6047 | Could the state have selected a fitter tool for their purposes? |
6047 | Counsel Second, Wouldest thou improve this love? |
6047 | Death quaketh, and destruction falleth down dead at our feet: What, then, can stand before us? |
6047 | Deep calleth unto deep: What''s that? |
6047 | Depart: what quite? |
6047 | Did Abel offer his best? |
6047 | Did Christ''s two- fold righteousness qualify him for that work of righteousness, that was of God designed for him to do? |
6047 | Did I say before, that religion is their pretence? |
6047 | Did I say before, that the God of glory is desirous to be seen of us? |
6047 | Did I say, it is fruitful? |
6047 | Did he finish his work thereon? |
6047 | Did not God know best what was best to do them good? |
6047 | Did they suffer? |
6047 | Didst thou believe, when thou saidst it, That God knew thy heart? |
6047 | Didst thou not blush when thou laidst it down? |
6047 | Do it therefore, and say, why should any thing have my heart but God, but Christ? |
6047 | Do men either Pluck grapes of thorns, or figs or thistles gather? |
6047 | Do not I fill heaven and earth? |
6047 | Do not I fill heaven and earth? |
6047 | Do not most decline these things when they either call for their purses or their persons to help in this and such like works as these? |
6047 | Do not publicans the same? |
6047 | Do not the rich men o''er you tyrannise; And hale ye to their courts; that worthy name By which you''re call''d do not they blaspheme? |
6047 | Do stocks or stones answer prayers? |
6047 | Do they lie too open to their spiritual foes? |
6047 | Do they say that that blood of his which was shed without the gates of Jerusalem, doth not wash away sin, yea, all sin from him that believes? |
6047 | Do they want a right frame of spirit? |
6047 | Do we know how our sins provoke God? |
6047 | Do we not see That all these things from us a fleeting be? |
6047 | Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? |
6047 | Do ye think that th''scripture saith in vain, The spirit that lusts to hate, doth in you reign? |
6047 | Do you allow their signing with the cross? |
6047 | Do you allow their sprinkling? |
6047 | Do you believe it? |
6047 | Do you delight to have your hand against every man?'' |
6047 | Do you long for the milk of the promises? |
6047 | Do you more to the openly prophane, yea, to all wizards and witches in the land? |
6047 | Do you not know that he is far more above us, than we are above our horse or mule that is without understanding? |
6047 | Do you not know that he may refuse to elect who he will, without abusing of them? |
6047 | Do you not reserve to yourself the liberty of judging what they say? |
6047 | Do you not see that the sceptre is departed from Judah? |
6047 | Do you not see that those things that are spoken of as forerunners of my coming, are accomplished? |
6047 | Do you not see the time that Daniel spake of is accomplished also? |
6047 | Do you now know, that the resurrection of the body, and glory to follow, is the very quintessence of the gospel of Jesus Christ? |
6047 | Do you suffer? |
6047 | Do you think it is seemly for the church to parrot it against her husband? |
6047 | Do you think that God gave the woman her hair, that she might deck herself, and set off her fleshly beauty therewith? |
6047 | Do you think your eyes dazzle? |
6047 | Do you want spiritual bread? |
6047 | Do you want strength against Satan''s temptations? |
6047 | Do you want strength of grace? |
6047 | Does he appear in his glory? |
6047 | Does he honour riches, and power, and wisdom, by descending in one of these classes? |
6047 | Dost keep thine eye upon what thou hast done, And yet hast licence to look on the sun? |
6047 | Dost think that such a sinner as thou art shall be heard of God? |
6047 | Dost thou Do well, said God, to be so angry now? |

6047 | Dost thou so covet more, as not to be Affected with the grace bestowed on thee? |
6047 | Dost thou suffer for righteousness''sake? |
6047 | Dost thou think, that God hath eyes of flesh, or that he seeth as man sees? |
6047 | Dost thou thus practise, because thou wouldest be taught to do outward acts of righteousness, and because thou wouldest provoke others to do so too? |
6047 | Dost want or meat, or drink, or cloth? |
6047 | Doth God find me so, when he seeth that the righteousness of his Son is upon me, being made over to me by an act of his grace? |
6047 | Doth a wanton eye argue shamefacedness? |

6047 | Doth your hearts fail you? |
6047 | Elias indeed had a chariot sent him to ride in thither, and went up by it into that holy place( 2 Kings 2:11): but I, poor I, how shall I get thither? |
6047 | Else how can that assembly say AMEN at their prayer or giving of thanks? |
6047 | Enoch is there, because God took him( Gen 5:24), but as for me, how shall I get thither? |
6047 | Even thou that hast received the promise of forgiveness: How then can they do it with pleasure, who eat, and forget the Lord? |
6047 | FIRST, How they are to be considered? |
6047 | FOOTNOTE:[ 1]''Who is weak, and I am not weak? |
6047 | Fifthly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed? |
6047 | First, Must Antichrist be destroyed? |
6047 | First, Prithee when didst thou begin to be righteous? |
6047 | First, saith he, If women may praise God together for mercies received for the church of God, or for themselves? |
6047 | First,''Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? |
6047 | For a brother in nature and religion to be so? |
6047 | For a man to be content with this kind of faith, and to look to go to salvation by it, what to God is a greater provocation? |
6047 | For as truly as thou sayest of thy fruitless tree, Cut it down, why doth it cumber the ground? |
6047 | For he asketh me very devoutly,''Whether any unbaptized persons were concerned in these epistles?'' |
6047 | For how can the servant of this my Lord talk with this my Lord? |
6047 | For if he did not heed who himself had baptized, much less did he heed who were baptized by others? |
6047 | For if it be the initiating ordinance, it entereth them into the church: What church? |
6047 | For such a man will thus conclude, that since the Creator of all is with him, what but creatures are there to be against him? |
6047 | For was it not pleasant to this hypocrite, think you, to speak thus well of himself at this time? |
6047 | For what glory is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? |
6047 | For what greater dignity can be put upon man''s righteousness, than to admit it? |
6047 | For what is God''s design in the work of conviction for sin, and in his awakening of the conscience about it? |
6047 | For what men? |
6047 | For what pain of death was his body capable of, when his soul was separate from it? |
6047 | For what''s the life of man? |
6047 | For what? |
6047 | For who wouldest thou have it; for another, or for thyself? |
6047 | For, First, Is it better that thou receive judgment in this world, or that thou stay for it to be condemned with the ungodly in the next? |
6047 | For, What iniquity is, who knows not? |
6047 | For, did Abel offer? |
6047 | For, pray, what was the flock, and who Christ''s sheep under the law, but the house and people of Israel? |
6047 | For, while a man remains faithless and ignorant of the gospel, to what doth his obedient temper of mind incline? |
6047 | Fourthly, Must Antichrist be destroyed? |
6047 | Friend, I did not ask thee why the Jews did put him to death? |
6047 | Friend, Who hath despised the day of small things? |
6047 | Friend, dost thou speak this as from thy own knowledge, or did any other tell thee so? |
6047 | Friend, what harm is it to join a dog and a wolf together? |
6047 | Friend, what is this to the purpose? |
6047 | Friend, will the law shew a man that his righteousness is sin and dung? |
6047 | From whence come wars and fights, come they not hence, Ev''n from th''inordinate concupiscence That in your members prompts to variance? |
6047 | Further, I make a question upon three scriptures, Whether all the saints, even in the primitive times, were baptized with water? |
6047 | Further, suppose I should grant this groundless notion, Were not the Jews in Old Testament times to enter the church by circumcision? |
6047 | Gaal mocked at Abimelech, and said, Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? |
6047 | God, or the Pharisee? |
6047 | Had he injured man at all? |
6047 | Had he notice beforehand, and warning of the danger? |
6047 | Had this Christ of God, our friend, given all he had to save us, had not his love been wonderful? |
6047 | Has he chosen that day? |
6047 | Has he concealed any of thy righteousness, or has he secretly informed against thee that thou art an hypocrite, and superstitious? |
6047 | Hast quite forgot how thou wast wo nt to pray, And cry out for forgiveness night and day? |
6047 | Hast thou a wife? |
6047 | Hast thou an heart to be sorry for this wickedness? |
6047 | Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?" |
6047 | Hast thou escaped? |
6047 | Hast thou fulfilled the whole law, and not offended in one point? |
6047 | Hast thou lost thy friend for the sake of thy profession? |
6047 | Hast thou made it thy business to give unto God the things that are God''s, and unto Caesar the things that are his, according as God has commanded? |
6047 | Hast thou purged thyself from the pollutions and motions of sin that dwell in the flesh, and work in thy own members? |
6047 | Hast thou taken delight in being defrauded and beguiled? |
6047 | Hast thou, for the sake of thy faith and profession thereof, lost thy part in the world? |
6047 | Hath God been so bountiful in making out himself about the supper, that few or none that own ordinances scruple it? |
6047 | Hath he said it, and shall he not bring it to pass?" |
6047 | Hath he spoken, and shall not make it good?'' |
6047 | Hath not man''s wisdom interposed to darken this part of God''s counsel? |
6047 | Hath that Christ that was with God the Father before the world was, no other body but his church? |
6047 | Hath the God of wisdom set them on foot among us? |
6047 | Hath the ministration of God no glory? |
6047 | Have I such an argument, in all my little book? |
6047 | Have it? |
6047 | Have they lost a good frame of heart? |
6047 | Have they lost their peace with the world? |
6047 | Have they lost their spiritual defence? |
6047 | Have they no more peace with this world? |
6047 | Have they not the means of grace? |
6047 | Have we not talked of what he did at the Red Sea, and in the land of Ham many years ago, and have we forgot him now? |
6047 | Have ye not read Of Job, how patiently he suffered? |
6047 | Have ye not seen in him what was God''s end; How he doth pity and great love extend? |
6047 | Have you commended your apprehensions soberly and submissively to those you call Independents and Presbyters? |
6047 | Have you learned to cry,''My Father?'' |
6047 | Have you not heard many complain that they are weary of church- communion, because of church contention? |
6047 | Have you not"in your flock a male?" |
6047 | Have you soberly, and submissively commended your apprehensions to those congregations in London, that are not of your persuasion in the case in hand? |
6047 | Have you the staggers? |
6047 | He begins with this question, Whether women fearing God may meet to pray together, and whether it be lawful for them so to do? |
6047 | He can not strut, vapour, and swagger as thou dost? |
6047 | He erreth in A CIRCUMSTANCE, thou errest in A SUBSTANCE; who must bear these errors? |
6047 | He saith not as the hypocrite,"Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me"( Jer 2:35); or"What have we spoken so much against thee?" |
6047 | He shall take of mine; What is that? |
6047 | He that hath by faith received the spirit of holiness, shall not he be holy? |
6047 | He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? |
6047 | He that is ungodly, hath a want of righteousness, even of the inward righteousness of works: but what must become of him? |
6047 | He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? |
6047 | He was God, a Creator, then; and is he not God now? |
6047 | He was wroth: and why? |
6047 | He will reckon them up so fast, and so fully, that thou wilt cry, Lord, when did I do this? |
6047 | He, in whose heart the Holy Spirit has raised the solemn inquiry, What must I do to be saved?'' |
6047 | Hence he saith,''Is Christ divided,''or separate from his servants? |
6047 | Hence such a time is rightly said to be a time to try us, or to find out what we are, and is there no good in this? |
6047 | Her plagues are death, and mourning, and famine, and fire( Rev 18:8); are these things to be overlooked? |
6047 | Her things are slain, and stink already, by the weapons that are made mention of before; what then will her carcase do? |
6047 | Here is no consideration of what capacity the people might be of, that were to be persecuted; but what matters what they are? |
6047 | Here now is a man an hungered, what must he feed upon? |
6047 | His, or the Pharisee''s? |
6047 | Hold, saith the apostle; stay a little here; first remember this, Is it meet to say unto God, What doest thou? |
6047 | How can a sense of thy own baseness, of the vileness of thy heart, and of the holiness of God, stand with such a carriage? |
6047 | How can he be a victor over himself that is led up and down by the nose by his own passions? |
6047 | How can he know so much as the extent of the love of Christ in common? |
6047 | How can he that carrieth himself basely in the sight of men, think he yet well behaveth himself in the sight of God? |

6047 | How is the word buried under the clods of their hearts for months, yea years together? |
6047 | How long will Antichrist still hold up his head in this country? |

6047 | How many prayers, sighs, and tears, are there wrung from their hearts upon this account? |
6047 | How much hast thou been grieved to see others break God''s law, and to find temptations in thyself to do it? |

6047 | How needful is it, then, that we endeavour''the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace?'' |
6047 | How often have they sustained[ thee in] thy hunger, clothed thy nakedness? |
6047 | How say you to these things, Do you make an open profession of them without dissembling? |
6047 | How shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious? |
6047 | How should the desires depart from it with that fervency as they should? |

6047 | How shouldest thou rejoice, that the same faith should dwell both in thy parents and thee? |
6047 | How sick art thou of sin? |
6047 | How then can God put any trust in such people, or how can remission be extended to us for the sake of that? |
6047 | How then can this sabbath now be kept? |
6047 | How then hath every man Christ, or the light of Christ within him? |
6047 | How then shall it be thought that they should be so silly, to turn a company of weak women loose to be abused by the fallen angels? |

6047 | How was the hostile spirit of Esau trod down of God, when he came out to meet his poor naked brother, with no less than four hundred armed men? |
6047 | How, not tempted? |
6047 | How? |
6047 | I am Joseph your own brother; And doth my father live? |
6047 | I am baptiz''d, what then? |
6047 | I am not of the number of them that say,"What profit should we have if we pray unto God?" |
6047 | I answer, though I have not asserted it, yet let me ask, which is more odious, hell or sin? |
6047 | I ask again, wherein dost thou think the blessedness of heaven consists? |
6047 | I ask thee how it looks, and how thou likest it, suppose there were no guilt or punishment to attend thy love to, or commission of it? |
6047 | I ask, What should it do there before, or to what purpose is it there, if it be not acted? |
6047 | I ask, did he tell you so? |
6047 | I believe that Christ will save me; what hurt is this to my neighbour? |
6047 | I have often been amazed in my mind at this text, for how could Jesus Christ have said such a word if he had not been able to perform it? |
6047 | I have told you, that this, though it were granted, cometh not up to the question; for we ask not,''whether they were so baptized? |
6047 | I know the wise men of this world, of whom there are many, will say as to what I now press you unto; Who can shew us any good in it? |
6047 | I love Christ because he will save me; what hurt is this to any? |
6047 | I marvel what injury the Lord Jesus hath done this man, that he should have such indifferent thoughts of coming to God by him? |
6047 | I might further add, how often have we agreed in our judgment? |
6047 | I remember the question that God asked Job,"Where,"saith he,"wast thou when I laid the foundation of the earth? |
6047 | I remember what Abner said to Asahel,"Turn thee aside, from following me; wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? |
6047 | I say again, should any so conclude hence, would not all experience prove him void of truth? |
6047 | I say how easily might he have said this, and then have popt in those two verses above quoted, and so have killed the old one? |
6047 | I say, Art thou a Pharisee? |
6047 | I say, How easily might they thus have objected? |
6047 | I say, What hast thou given to God thereby? |
6047 | I say, was it not worth being in the furnace and in the den to see such things as these? |
6047 | I say, what will such say when they shall read that the Publican did only acknowledge his iniquity, and found grace and favour at the hand of God? |
6047 | I say, what wilt thou say to this? |
6047 | I say, where is the honour they should put upon them? |

6047 | If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me? |
6047 | If Samson''s riddle was so puzzling, what shall we think of this? |
6047 | If a sense of some sin,[ for who sees all? |

6047 | If heaven has gates, and they shall be shut, how wilt thou go in thither? |
6047 | If it be asked, Who did appoint that meeting made mention of in Acts 12:12? |
6047 | If it be good and godly, why may it not be accepted? |
6047 | If it be said water baptism is not there intended, let them shew me how many baptisms there are besides water baptism? |

6047 | If mercy, what mercy? |
6047 | If no, do you not dissemble? |
6047 | If not, how do they differ? |
6047 | If so, I ask, dost thou, according to the exhortation here,''Depart from iniqnity?'' |
6047 | If so; why do you so much dissemble with all the world, in print; to pretend you submit to others''judgment, and yet abide to condemn their judgments? |
6047 | If the children of God shall''scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly, and the sinner appear?'' |
6047 | If the conduct of many professors were so vile, as there can be no doubt but that it was, how gross must have been that of the openly profane? |
6047 | If the counsel of Gamaliel was good when given to the enemies of God''s people, why not fit to be given to Christians themselves? |
6047 | If the dead rise not, what shall I be the better for all my trouble that here I meet with for the gospel of Christ? |
6047 | If the very looks of God be so terrible, what will his blows be, think you? |
6047 | If there be a difference in the light, show it wherein; whether in the nature, or otherwise?" |
6047 | If therefore all the light that is in thee Be darkness, how great must that darkness be? |
6047 | If they ask what light? |
6047 | If they differ, where lieth the difference? |
6047 | If they farther ask, why, what is that? |
6047 | If they say, they retain the day, but change their manner of observation thereof; I ask, who has commanded them so to do? |
6047 | If this be faith,( sayest thou) to profess him born, dead, risen and ascended without, then is there any unbeliever in England? |
6047 | If this be so, then what should they do here, Who in their antic pranks of pride appear? |
6047 | If this kind of worship may be performed, without their conduct and government? |
6047 | If thou say, because God hath not chosen them, as well as chosen others: I answer,''Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? |
6047 | If what be possible? |
6047 | If ye be buffeted for your faults, for what God''s word calls faults, what thank have you from God, or good men, though you take it patiently? |
6047 | If you bid him wait, do you not encourage him to live in sin, as much as I do? |
6047 | If you say no, as it is your wonted course; then again I ask you, what that was in which he did bear the sins of his children? |
6047 | If"judgment must begin at the house of God,--what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? |
6047 | In Job''s day this was bewailed, that none or but a few said,"Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night?" |
6047 | In love to God, in love to men, in holy love, in love unfeigned? |
6047 | In the faith of what? |
6047 | Is Antichrist down and dead to ought but your faith? |
6047 | Is Christ then the image of the Father, simply, as considered of the same divine and eternal excellency with him? |
6047 | Is any fountain of so strange a nature, At once to send forth sweet and bitter water? |
6047 | Is he in health, or doth he cease to be? |
6047 | Is he that is a servant to corruption a victor? |
6047 | Is he that is led away with divers lusts a victor? |

6047 | Is it for the sake of righteousness that thou sufferest? |
6047 | Is it not a wicked thing to make bars to communion, where God hath made none? |

6047 | Jesus also( saith the apostle) that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered: Where? |
6047 | Labour to be patient under this mighty hand of God, and be not hasty to say, When will the rod be laid aside? |
6047 | Let these things learn us to cease from man,"whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" |
6047 | Lights upon a hill, and candles on a candlestick, and shall not they shine? |
6047 | Look again,"Hast thou an arm like God"( Job 40:9), an arm like his for length and strength? |
6047 | Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth'': Why, who art thou? |
6047 | Lord,"who can understand his errors?" |
6047 | Lord,"who knoweth the power of thine anger? |
6047 | Lord,"who knoweth the power of thine anger?" |
6047 | Make( saith Christ) the tree good, and his fruit good; or the tree evil, and his fruit evil: Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? |
6047 | Manoah said, Now let thy words be true; How shall we use the child, What must we do? |
6047 | Manoah then arose, and went his way, And when he came, he said, Art thou the man That spakest to my wife? |
6047 | Mark how David handleth the messenger that brought him tidings of the death of Saul: says he, How dost thou know that Saul is dead? |
6047 | Mark them; for what? |
6047 | Mark,''a just man,''''a righteous man,''''his righteous soul,''& c. But how obtained he this character? |
6047 | May I not say before God? |
6047 | May a man be a visible saint without light therein? |
6047 | May he have a good conscience without light therein? |
6047 | May you indeed receive persons into the church unprepared for the Lord''s supper; yea, unprepared for that, with other solemn appointments? |
6047 | Might not their eyes dazzle, and they might think they did see such a thing, when indeed there was no such matter? |
6047 | Moreover, I would ask with what face thou canst look the Lord Jesus in the face, whose name thou hast profaned by thine iniquity? |
6047 | Must God be called to an account by you, why he giveth more light about the supper than baptism? |
6047 | Must I be a Christian, says the Jew? |
6047 | Must a gift, and a little of the glory of the butterfly, make thee that thou shalt not do for, and honour to, thy father and mother? |
6047 | Must thy reason, nay, thy lust, be the ruler, orderer, and disposer of his grace? |
6047 | Must we go to hell, and be damned, for want of faith in water baptism? |
6047 | My fifth query was,"Is that very man with that very body within you, yea, or no?" |
6047 | My last argument, you say, is this:''The world may wonder at your carriage to these unbaptized persons, in keeping them out of communion?'' |
6047 | My second query was,"What is the church of God redeemed by from the curse of law? |
6047 | My seventh query was,"Hath that Christ that was with God the Father before the world was, no other body but his church?" |
6047 | Namely, which Peter spake: This is the way in which the Spirit is given? |
6047 | Nay rather, will not this, like a millstone about thy neck, drown thee in the deeps of hell? |
6047 | Nay, do not even these things declare that you would take it away if you could? |
6047 | Nay, dost thou know what original sin means? |
6047 | Nay, doth not this argue, that thy heart is a rotten, cankered, and besotted heart? |
6047 | Nay, in this I will assert nothing, but rather inquire:--What hast thou gained by all this thy righteousness? |
6047 | Nay, what petition of any kind is there in thy vain- glorious oration from first to last? |
6047 | Nay, you must make two questions of this one; that is, what is it for faith to come, and in what manner doth it come? |
6047 | Need I read you a lecture? |
6047 | Neither is baptism any thing? |
6047 | No; the poor, the despised in this world, claim kindred with him--''Is not this the carpenter''s son?'' |
6047 | No? |
6047 | Noah and Lot, who so holy as they, in the day of their affliction? |
6047 | Noah and Lot, who so idle as they in the day of their prosperity? |
6047 | Nor can any man propound such an essential way to cut off boasting as this, which is of God''s providing: for what has man here to boast of? |
6047 | Not sullenly saying like that wicked king, Why should I wait on the Lord any longer? |
6047 | Nothing of this hath been done by him in this life, and therefore how can any such be recorded for him in the book of life? |
6047 | Now I will add, but what if he that can give a shilling, giveth nothing? |
6047 | Now do you call conscience the light of Christ? |
6047 | Now dost thou mean the Spirit of Christ? |
6047 | Now if he means their ordinary sabbaths, or that called the seventh day sabbath, why doth he join the winter thereto? |
6047 | Now if it be asked, What promise is entailed to our first day sabbath? |
6047 | Now if the Captain, their king Apollion, be made to yield, how can his followers stand their ground? |
6047 | Now if these things be so, how can the love that saveth us from them be known or understood to the full? |
6047 | Now if you would know who this Lord Jesus is, look into Acts 10:28 and you shall see it was Jesus of Nazareth; would you know who that was? |
6047 | Now let the man that professes the name of Christ religiously, consider with himself, unto what sin or vanity am I most inclined; Is it pride? |
6047 | Now necessity walks about the streets, crying, Who is on the Lord''s side? |
6047 | Now saith reason, how shall I come thither? |
6047 | Now seeing the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is so nigh, even at the doors, what doth this speak to all sorts of people( under heaven) but this? |
6047 | Now some may say, But what shall we do to depart from iniquity? |
6047 | Now the Pharisee, like Haman, saith in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour, more than to myself? |
6047 | Now the Spirit of Christ that leads also, but whither? |
6047 | Now the question is, who shall prevail? |
6047 | Now then, did the Publican this of his own head, or from his now mind? |
6047 | Now this is a daring thing: I know their lies, saith he; and shall he not recompense for this? |
6047 | Now this righteousness, the apostle casteth away, as was shewn before;''Not having mine own righteousness( saith he) which is of the law''; why? |
6047 | Now we are come to the pinch, viz., Whether it be that of water, or no? |
6047 | Now wherein doth it appear that he was without spot and blemish, but as he walked in the law? |
6047 | Now, I say, when this part of the book of life shall be opened, what can be found in it, of the good deeds and heaven- born actions of wicked men? |
6047 | Now, how then do you give them their liberty? |
6047 | Now, if he can not know them, from what principle should he will them? |
6047 | Now, if when she had things to trade with, her dealers left her; how shall she think of a trade, when she has nothing to traffic with? |
6047 | Now, shall a soul where the word and Spirit of Christ dwells, be a soul without good works? |
6047 | Now, when thou hast thought on these things fairly, answer thyself in these few questions: Is not this arrogancy? |
6047 | O that saying of God to them of old,"Why criest thou for thine affliction? |
6047 | O what thunderings and lightnings, what earthquakes and tempests, will there be in every damned soul, at the opening of this book? |
6047 | Observe, I am commanded to believe, but what should I believe? |
6047 | Of that which is sown, or of that which was never sown? |
6047 | Of what use are these expressions, if the soul of Christ suffered not, if it suffered not when separated from the body? |
6047 | One reads, he prays, he catechises too; But doth he nothing else, what doth he do? |
6047 | Or are we only out of that Egyptian darkness, that in baptism have got the start of our brethren? |
6047 | Or are you afraid lest the truth should invade your quarters?'' |
6047 | Or art thou like the ostrich whom God hath deprived of wisdom, and has hardened her heart against her young? |
6047 | Or art thou one a going backward thither? |
6047 | Or do they altogether make but one Spirit of Christ? |
6047 | Or do you count all that yourselves have no hand in, done to your disparagement? |
6047 | Or do you look upon Jesus at that time to be but a shadow, or type of some what that was afterwards to be done within? |
6047 | Or dost thou count they were but painted fears Which from thine eyes did squeeze so many tears? |
6047 | Or dost thou sideling go, and would''st not be Suspected? |
6047 | Or dost thou think that God is at play with thee, and that he threateneth but in jest? |
6047 | Or dost thou wink, because thou would''st not see? |
6047 | Or has it the smell or savour of such a thing? |
6047 | Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profaned the sabbath, and are blameless?'' |
6047 | Or how sincerely righteous they were whom God justified as ungodly? |
6047 | Or if he ask a fish, will he bestow A serpent? |
6047 | Or if he looks no further than to horses, what will he do at the swellings of Jordan( Jer 12:5)? |
6047 | Or if it came to them only?'' |
6047 | Or if they had offered that offering, that was to be burnt as a sin- offering, otherwise than it was commanded? |
6047 | Or makes as if he would not reconcile To thee again? |
6047 | Or must they neglect the weightier matters, because they want mint, and anise, and cummin? |
6047 | Or shall it come to save us? |
6047 | Or the epistle of James? |
6047 | Or was it possible but that after a while these fig- leaves should have become rotten, and turned to dung? |
6047 | Or what falsehood doth it command thee to receive for truth? |
6047 | Or what if a man should act now as a son, rather than simply as a creature endued with a principle of reason? |
6047 | Or what man is there of you, if his son Shall ask him bread, will he give him a stone? |
6047 | Or what shadow now is left in it since its institution as to divine service is taken long since from it? |
6047 | Or what should be the object of my faith in the matter of my justification with God? |
6047 | Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? |
6047 | Or whether such think that Christ Jesus was subject to be tainted by the badness of the place, had he been there? |
6047 | Or whether that day, as a sabbath, was afterwards by the apostles imposed upon the churches of the Gentiles? |
6047 | Or whether, when the scripture says, God is in hell, it is any disparagement to him? |
6047 | Or who can save alive, when the maker of the world is set against them? |
6047 | Or why must the old sabbath be joined to this new ministration? |
6047 | Or"Shall any teach God knowledge?" |
6047 | Or, How could God in justice give it to a person, that by the law stood condemned, before they were quitted from that condemnation? |
6047 | Or, are these such as may better be broken, than for want of light to forbear baptism with water? |
6047 | Or, are you become so high in your own phantasies, that none have, or are to have but private means of grace? |
6047 | Or, as another prophet has it,"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? |
6047 | Or, how can that man say, I would glorify God, who in his very heart refuseth to stand and fall by his mercy? |
6047 | Or, is this the way that thou takest to mortify sin? |
6047 | Or, must their graces be increased by none but private means? |
6047 | Or, must we now be afraid to say that Christ is better than water baptism? |
6047 | Or, ought none but them that are baptized to have the public means of grace? |
6047 | Or, whether every saint in some sort, hath not the keys of the kingdom of heaven, which are the Scriptures and their power? |
6047 | Our author, perhaps, will say, I have not spoken to his question; which was,"Whether women, fearing God, may meet to pray together? |
6047 | Pilate''s question,"What is truth?" |
6047 | Poor wretch, quoth the Pharisee to the Publican, What comest thou for? |
6047 | Pray then, and watch, be thou no drowsy sleeper, Grudge, nor refuse, to be thy brother''s keeper, Seest thou thy brother''s graces at an ebb? |
6047 | Presently with envy they are enraged and cry,"Dost thou not know that every man hath a measure of the spirit given to him? |
6047 | Prithee let me know Thy state? |
6047 | Proof.--"Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? |
6047 | Q. Hath he indeed made amends for sin? |
6047 | Quest.--But how( may some say) doth the devil make his delusions take place in the hearts of poor creatures? |
6047 | Quest.--But you will say, doth not the scripture make mention of a Christ within? |
6047 | Reader, can you solve Mr. Bunyan''s riddle? |
6047 | Reader, in the sight of god, let the heart- searching inquiry of the apostle''s be yours; Lord, is it I? |
6047 | Rejoicing in spirit for the hope of the life to come by Christ, who will that harm? |
6047 | Return again, my daughters, go your way, For I''m too old to marry: should I say I''ve hope? |
6047 | SECONDLY, What death they must die? |
6047 | Samson withstood his Delilah for a while, but she got the mastery of him at the last; why so? |
6047 | Say I this of myself? |
6047 | Says Satan, dost thou not know that thou hast horribly sinned? |
6047 | Says Satan, dost thou not know, that thou art one of the vilest in all the pack of professors? |
6047 | Says Satan, doth not thy conscience tell thee that thou art and hast been more base than any of thy fellows can imagine thee to be? |
6047 | Second, But you will say, is there a man made mention of here? |
6047 | Second, The second thing is, who are they that are carried away with this delusion, and why? |
6047 | Secondly, In the time of Elias, which time also was typical of this, what church was there to be seen in Israel? |
6047 | Secondly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed, and must she have an end? |
6047 | Secondly, by whom, and to what, he that is weak in the faith is to be received? |
6047 | Seth then was no better than we by nature, but came into the world in the blood of his mother''s filth:"What is man, that he should be clean? |
6047 | Seth, saith the Spirit, was set in the stead of Abel, there as forlorn, to defend religion: Must he not now be swallowed up? |
6047 | Seventhly, Must Antichrist be destroyed? |
6047 | Shall God display his glory before us under the character and title of a Creator, and shall we yet fear man? |
6047 | Shall God love me a sinner? |
6047 | Shall God love, shall he keep his faith to me? |
6047 | Shall God the only wise, be arraigned at the bar of thy blind reason, and there be judged and condemned for his acts done in eternity? |
6047 | Shall another man pray for this, one that knew the goodness and benefit of it, and shall not I meditate upon it? |
6047 | Shall pride be found among redeemed slaves? |
6047 | Shall saints, then, like slaves, be afraid of their God, the Creator; of their own God, when he rendeth the heavens, and comes down? |
6047 | Shall the beast stand glorying over them while they are dead, with his feet in their neck? |
6047 | Shall the devil''s kingdom be united, and shall Christ''s be divided? |
6047 | Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?'' |
6047 | Shall this be the burden of the song of heaven? |
6047 | Shall we deserve correction? |
6047 | Shalt thou indeed abide the melting and washing of this day? |
6047 | Should I this night conceive a son? |
6047 | Should one say to some, Art not thou the man that I once saw crying under a sermon, that I once, heard cry out, What must I do to be saved? |
6047 | Sixthly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed? |
6047 | So that the question is not, Do I find that I am righteous? |
6047 | So then, Doth the law call for righteousness? |
6047 | So, then, what is the axe, that it should boast itself against him that heweth therewith? |
6047 | Some of the things of God that are excellent, have not been approved by some of the saints: What then? |
6047 | Studies that yield far less profit than this, how close are they pursued, by some who have adapted themselves thereunto? |
6047 | Such as are self- evident or evident of themselves; to what? |
6047 | Suppose all, if all these churches were baptized, what then? |
6047 | Suppose he shall against thee shut the door, Knock thou the louder, and cry out the more; What if he makes thee there to stand a while? |
6047 | Tell me, I say, by this text, whether is here intended the sins of all that shall be saved? |
6047 | That it cleaves to the best, who knows not? |
6047 | That it is disgraceful to profession, who knows not? |
6047 | That of David is for this remarkable,"Who am I,[ said he] and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? |
6047 | That they should lie and rot in their grave eternally? |
6047 | That they would put off the old man; what is that? |
6047 | That this must be so urged for their excuse: Hath God been more sparing in making out his mind in the one, rather than the other? |
6047 | That which we read is this;''Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?'' |
6047 | That, because these several things will convince of sin, therefore will they needs be the Spirit of Christ? |
6047 | The Godhead is indeed invisible; how then is Christ the image of it? |
6047 | The Pharisees, for that they professed religion, but walked not answerable thereto, unto what doth Christ compare them but to serpents and vipers? |
6047 | The Ranters would profess that they were without sin: and how far short of his opinion are the Quakers? |
6047 | The answer to the inquiry,"What is man?" |
6047 | The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? |
6047 | The forgiveness of sins: But what is meant by forgiveness? |
6047 | The guilt of blood who can bear? |
6047 | The inquiry is pursued a step farther,"Can those who differ with me be saved?" |
6047 | The inquiry was then, as, alas, it is too frequent now, Are there many that be saved? |
6047 | The law is not of faith, why then should grace be by Christians expected by observation of the law? |
6047 | The law of Christ is,"Is any sick among you? |
6047 | The man also at the touching of the bones of Elisha? |
6047 | The promise is, that Babylon shall be destroyed: And do we hold our tongues? |
6047 | The question is, Do not the scriptures make mention of a Christ within? |
6047 | The question then is, whether the elect and reprobate receive a differing grace? |
6047 | The second part of the inquiry is, to what he that is weak in the faith is to be received? |
6047 | The smith, what is he? |
6047 | The subject I should have preached upon, even then when the constable came, was,''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?'' |
6047 | The tail, says the Holy Ghost, draws them down; draws down even the stars of heaven; but whither doth he draw them? |
6047 | The thing formed may not say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
6047 | The united are all the faithful in one body; into whom? |
6047 | The waster, what is that? |
6047 | Their minds were blinded, saith the text: Whose minds? |
6047 | Then I asked him which was his first coming? |
6047 | Then Israel said, Why were you so unkind To say you had a brother left behind? |
6047 | Then Naomi said, Shall I not, my daughter, Seek rest for thee, that thou do well hereafter? |
6047 | Then he inquired if they all were well, And said, When you were here I heard you tell Of an old man, your father, how does he? |
6047 | Then said she, How canst thou pretend to love me, When thus thy doing towards me disprove thee? |
6047 | Then said the men of Judah, for what reason Are you come up against us at this season? |
6047 | Then said they, We entreat thee let us know, For whose cause we this evil undergo, Whence comest thou? |
6047 | Then said they, What''s thy riddle, let us know? |
6047 | Then unto her, her mother- in- law did say, In what field hast thou been to glean to- day? |
6047 | Then were the men exceedingly afraid; And, wherefore hast thou done this thing? |
6047 | Then what doth this speak to the Lord''s own people? |
6047 | Then what mean they, who were to appearance once come out, but now are going thither again? |
6047 | Then what will become of all the profane, ignorant, scoffers, self- righteous, proud, bastard- professors in the world? |
6047 | Then what will become of all those that creep into the society of God''s people without a wedding garment on? |
6047 | Then what will become of all those that mock at the second coming of the Man Christ, as do the Ranters, Quakers, drunkards, and the like? |
6047 | Then will not you yourself confess, that he is deluded, that is persuaded to follow that light that can not reveal Christ unto him? |
6047 | There is but one law- giver, That''s able to destroy and to deliver; Who then art thou that dost condemn thy neighbour? |
6047 | Therefor, speak plainly; Dost thou believe that that man Christ Jesus is ascended from his people in his person? |
6047 | Therefore is that in the Psalms read both ways, shall I look to the mountains? |
6047 | Therefore to answer this, here we have a breadth, a spreading breadth;"I spread my skirt over thee": But how far? |
6047 | Therefore try a little, Do they slight God''s Christ, which is the Son of the Virgin? |
6047 | They are indeed reprobates who have not Christ within them; but now, how is thy folly manifest? |
6047 | They are the salt of the earth, shall not they be seasoning? |
6047 | They spake not aright, saying, what have I done? |
6047 | They:--Who? |
6047 | Thinkest thou not, who readest these lines, that all of these who had before committed their soul to God to keep were the fittest folk to die? |
6047 | Thinkest thou this to be right? |
6047 | Thinkest thou, reader, that the scripture hath two faces, and speaketh with two mouths? |
6047 | Third, But wilt thou yet plead thy righteousness for mercy? |
6047 | Thirdly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed? |
6047 | Thirdly, What was the dry bones that we read of in the 37th of Ezekiel, but the church of God, and also a figure of what we are treating of? |
6047 | This doctrine Christ teacheth when he saith,"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? |
6047 | This is but a falsehood and a slander, for the unregenerate know him not; how then can they believe on him? |
6047 | This question, I briefly ask thee,"Had Christ a body of flesh before the world began?" |
6047 | This righteousness of God- man, this righteousness of Christ? |
6047 | This word created, is added, on purpose to show that the world is under the power of his hand; for who can destroy, but he that can create? |
6047 | This; Which? |
6047 | Thou standest to thy righteousness, what dost thou mean? |
6047 | Thou thinkest that thou art a Christian; thou shouldest be sorry else: Well, But when did God shew thee that thou wert no Christian? |
6047 | Though such should climb up to heaven, from thence will God bring them down( Amos 9:2), Still I say, therefore, how shall we get in thither? |
6047 | Thus much have I thought good to speak in answer to this question, What iniquity should we depart from that religiously name the name of Christ? |
6047 | Thy answer is nothing to the question, for I did not ask, whether the Spirit of Christ was in thee? |
6047 | Thy first question should be on whom must I believe? |
6047 | To be thrown o''er the pales, and there to lie, Or be pick''d up by th''next that passeth by? |
6047 | To instance no more, although I could instance many, are not they the words of our Lord? |
6047 | To instance somewhat, Faith in Christ: what harm can that do? |
6047 | To the Romans,''I beseech you therefore,''saith he,''by the mercies of God,( What mercies? |
6047 | To this end, I say, how was the Shunammite''s son raised from the dead? |
6047 | To what end should such be comprehended in this of exhortation of his? |
6047 | To what end? |
6047 | To what purpose else is it revealed, made mention of, and commended to us? |
6047 | To whom they said, Why hath my lord such thought? |
6047 | Touching his working with some, how invisible is it to these in whose souls it is yet begun? |
6047 | Touching the book of my remembrance, who can contradict it? |
6047 | Understand,[ O] ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? |
6047 | Understandest thou what thou readest? |
6047 | Upon the first day: what, or which first day of this, or that, of the third or fourth week of the month? |
6047 | Upon whom must these reproaches fall? |
6047 | Use Second, Is it so? |
6047 | Use Second, Is there so great a heart for love, towards us, both in the Father and in the Son? |
6047 | Was it before or after thou hadst been a sinner? |
6047 | Was it better than God? |
6047 | Was it not because they had that richer and better thing,''the Lord Jesus Christ?'' |
6047 | Was it not the art of the false apostles of old to say thus? |
6047 | Was it utter nakedness, nakedness in its perfection? |
6047 | Was not I in all places to behold, to see, and to observe thee in all thy ways? |
6047 | Was not every tittle of the law reasonable, both in the first and second table? |
6047 | Was not he a liar? |
6047 | Was that a New Testament church, or no? |
6047 | Was the Lord displeased against the rivers? |
6047 | Was the serpent then lifted up for them that were good and godly? |
6047 | Was there no more, think you, but Noah, in his generation, that feared God? |
6047 | Was you awake now? |
6047 | Wast thou not innocent, perfectly innocent and righteous? |
6047 | Wast thou one of them, that didst sigh, and afflict thyself for the abominations of the times? |
6047 | We are by faith made good trees, and shall not we bring forth good fruit? |
6047 | We know God, and he is our God, our own God; of whom or of what should we be afraid? |
6047 | We may well say,"Who is like thee, O Lord, among the gods?" |
6047 | We plead not for indulging,''But are there not with you, even with you, sins against the Lord your God?'' |
6047 | Well, but if this in truth be thus, how then comes it to pass that some receive it and live for ever? |

6047 | [ 21]If it be asked, Why take your unregenerate children, and invite the ungodly, to the place of worship? |
6047 | [ 2] And why is MY rank so mean, that the most gracious and godly among you, may not duly and soberly consider of what I have said? |
6047 | [ 2]( Psa 8:3,4) Now in the creation of the world we may consider several things; as, What was the order of God in this work? |
6047 | [ 35]This should prompt every professing Christian to self- examination-- Am I of the raven class, or that of the dove? |
6047 | [ I reply] If thou hadst said, I worship her Son, thou hadst said truly( I hope) But is not thy spite more against her son, than her? |
6047 | [ that is, to bring Christ down from above:] or, Who shall descend into the deep? |
6047 | and again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? |
6047 | and are not men the more noble part in all the churches of Christ? |
6047 | and behold the height of the stars, how high they are?" |
6047 | and darkness and tempests? |
6047 | and do you question the resurrection of the body? |
6047 | and doth God testify that thy desire is true, not feigned? |
6047 | and hast not thou been led by a lying spirit also, in wresting of my words as thou hast done? |
6047 | and have you consented to stand by their opinion? |
6047 | and he that is called to glory and virtue, shall not he add to his faith virtue? |
6047 | and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?" |
6047 | and how shall he be convinced of eternal judgment, if you persuade him, that when he is dead, he shall not at all rise? |
6047 | and how they hold back good from us? |
6047 | and how we may be more holy and more humble towards God, and more charitable and more serviceable to one another? |
6047 | and if I be a Master, where is my fear? |
6047 | and is goodness seen in thy seeking the life or the damage of thy enemy? |
6047 | and is not the light of God sufficient in itself, to lead to God all that follow it, yea, or nay?" |
6047 | and is not this thus much, are not all they reprobates( say you) but they in whim Christ is within? |
6047 | and is there not like reason for it? |
6047 | and of choosing what you judge is right, whether they conclude with you or no? |
6047 | and says another, Would you have us make ourselves ridiculous? |
6047 | and shall I Not love a saint? |
6047 | and shall I hate his child, nor hear his wants that call For my little assisting of him? |
6047 | and shall none be angry at it? |
6047 | and shall not I exercise my mind about it? |
6047 | and should a man full of talk be justified? |
6047 | and that Christ hath marked and recorded for such an one? |
6047 | and that also against which the spirit lusteth? |
6047 | and that, AFTER the angel had fled through the midst of heaven, preaching the gospel to those that dwell on the earth? |
6047 | and therefore that it ought to be departed from, who knows not? |
6047 | and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?" |

6046 | ( Jer 31:7) What shall I say? |
6046 | ( Jer 3:14) That saying of Paul is much like this,"Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?" |
6046 | ( Luke 9:25) and so, consequently, or,''What shall a man give in exchange( for himself) for his soul?'' |
6046 | ( Matt 26:21- 23) Who questioned the salvation of the foolish virgins? |
6046 | ( Matt 3:10) Poor sinner, awake; eternity is coming, and HIS SON, they are both coming to judge the world; awake, art yet asleep, poor sinner? |
6046 | ( Matt 3:12, 13:30) But mark,"There shall be a handful": What is a handful, when compared with the whole heap? |
6046 | ( Num 23:19) Hath Christ given us glory, and shall we not have it? |
6046 | ( Phil 3:14) But what do you mean by these three questions? |
6046 | ( Prov 16:8) What is it for me to claim a house, or a farm, without right? |
6046 | ( Psa 19:13) Must that wicked one touch my soul? |
6046 | ( Psa 31:22) And now where was his hope, in the right gospel discovery of it? |
6046 | ( Psa 50:3,4) And now, what will be found in that day to be the portion of them that in this day do not come to God by Christ? |
6046 | ( Rev 1:17,18) Why should Christ bring in his life to comfort John, if it was not a life advantageous to him? |
6046 | ( Rom 3:23, 5:1,2) But, I say again, who will propound God for his end that knows him not, that knows him not aright? |
6046 | ( Rom 7:24)( c.) How dost thou find thyself under the most high enjoyment of grace in this world? |
6046 | ( Zech 12:10, John 19, Heb 12:14, Psa 19:12)( c.) How do they show themselves to be true under the third? |
6046 | ( e.) O, but will he not be weary? |
6046 | ( g) And if at any time they can, or shall, meet with each other again, and nobody never the wiser, O, what courting will be betwixt sin and the soul? |
6046 | --that is, to recover or redeem his lost soul to liberty? |
6046 | --what shall, what would, yea, what would not a man, if he had it, give in exchange for his soul? |
6046 | 17 Many readers will cry out, Who then can be saved? |
6046 | 17 Seventy times seven times a day we sometimes sin against our brother; but how many times, in that day, do we sin against God? |
6046 | 2. Who may have it? |
6046 | 2. Who may have this life? |
6046 | 20 We will, therefore, state it again-- Are men saved by grace? |
6046 | 25 How pointed and faithful are these words? |
6046 | 25 What can I render unto thee, my God, for such unspeakable blessedness? |
6046 | 32 What can we render to the Lord? |
6046 | 33 Take holiness away out of heaven, and what is heaven? |
6046 | 36 But alas, what are these? |
6046 | 4 What can withstand the will of Christ, that all his should behold and partake of his glory? |
6046 | 52. Who now dare say we throw away Our goods or liberty, When God''s most holy Word doth say We gain thus much thereby? |
6046 | 6 What conduct? |
6046 | 8 What heart can conceive the glorious worship of heaven? |
6046 | A Christian, and spend thy time, thy strength, and parts, for things that perish in the using? |
6046 | A certain man had a fruitless fig tree planted in his vineyard; but by whom was it planted there? |
6046 | A conduct of angels:"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" |
6046 | A rainbow round about the throne, in sight; in whose sight? |
6046 | A sick body is a burden to the soul, and a wounded spirit is a burden to the body;''a wounded spirit who can bear?'' |
6046 | Afraid of what? |
6046 | After I had been thus for some considerable time, another thought came into my mind; and that was, whether we were of the Israelites, or no? |
6046 | After this, that other doubt did come with strength upon me, But how if the day of grace should be past and gone? |
6046 | Again I ask, Hast thou considered what truth, as to matter of fact, there is in the things whereof thou standest accused? |
6046 | Again, Is it so, that no man comes to Jesus Christ by the will, wisdom, and power of man, but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father? |
6046 | Again, are the people of God to behave themselves to the glory of God the Father? |
6046 | Again, how did Satan ply it against Peter, when he desired to have him, that he might sift him as wheat? |
6046 | Again, if Christ be the altar of incense, how stands he as a priest by that altar to offer the prayers of all the saints thereon, before the throne? |
6046 | Again, suppose the father should scourge and chasten the son for such offence, is the relation between them therefore dissolved? |
6046 | Again, what a continuation of this alarm was there also at the birth of Jesus, which was about three months after John Baptist was born? |
6046 | Again, would the people learn to be covetous? |
6046 | Again,"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
6046 | Again; Hast thou found a failure in all others that might have been entertained to plead thy cause? |
6046 | Again; when Esau threatened to slay his brother, Rebecca sent him away, saying,"Why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?" |
6046 | Again; why not live upon Christ alway? |
6046 | Alas, but how shall I come? |
6046 | All covetousness is idolatry; but what is that, or what will you call it, when men are religious for filthy lucre''s sake? |
6046 | All this is made to appear by the angels that fell; for when fallen, what was heaven to them? |
6046 | Also before his friends, how bold was he? |
6046 | Also to Simon Magus for but undervaluing of it? |
6046 | Also when the mariners inquired of Jonah, saying,"What is thine occupation, and whence comest thou? |
6046 | Also, if he ask me, What is become of the portion of goods that he gave me? |
6046 | Also, when Job had God present with him, making manifest the goodness of his great heart to him, what doth he say? |
6046 | Am I coming, indeed, to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Am I in a case to be thus near mine end? |
6046 | Am I one of the elect? |
6046 | And I ask, Why doth the wife-- that is, as the loving hind-- love to be in the presence of her husband? |
6046 | And Paul, when he said, he could wish that himself were accursed from Christ, for the vehement desire that he had that the Jews might be saved? |
6046 | And again,"Beware of men,"& c. when I had answered him, that blessed be God I was well, he said, What is the occasion of your being here? |
6046 | And again,"If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? |
6046 | And again,''My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God, when shall I come and appear before God?'' |
6046 | And are they willing, God helping them, to run hazards for his name, for the love they bear to him? |
6046 | And are we not in him, in him, even as so considered? |
6046 | And before I go further, what might I yet say to fasten this reason upon the truly gracious soul? |
6046 | And by what is this righteousness by thee applied to thyself? |
6046 | And can a holy and just God require that we give thanks to him in his name, if it was not effectually done for us by him? |
6046 | And can death, or sin, or the grave hold us, when God saith,''Give up?'' |
6046 | And can it be imagined that Christ alone shall be like the foolish ostrich, hardened against his young, yea, against his members? |
6046 | And did he license any one, and if so, who, to alter, add to, or diminish from it? |
6046 | And dost thou indeed say,"Hallowed be thy name"with thy heart? |
6046 | And dost thou not do the deeds of the flesh? |
6046 | And doth God come to the sinner, and the sinner again go to God in a saving way by him, and by him only? |
6046 | And doth all this stir up in thy heart some breathing after Him? |
6046 | And doth it not also make thee more earnestly to groan after the Lord Jesus? |
6046 | And doth this demonstrate the reformation of your church? |
6046 | And for the opening of this we must consider, first, How and through Whom this grace doth come to be, first, free to us, and, secondly, unchangeable? |
6046 | And from the sense and feeling of torment, he would give, yea, what would he not give, in exchange for his soul? |
6046 | And further, said he, can not one man teach another to pray? |
6046 | And good reason; for since they would not with us come to him now they have time, why should they stand with us when judgment is come? |
6046 | And have these desires put thy soul to the flight? |
6046 | And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? |
6046 | And here those sayings are of their own natural force:''How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?'' |
6046 | And how can that be, if he saveth not to the uttermost them that come unto God by him? |
6046 | And how if I should not? |
6046 | And how is this resented by them? |
6046 | And how little conscience is there made of prayer between God and the soul in secret, unless the Spirit of supplication be there to help? |
6046 | And how sayest thou now? |
6046 | And how sayest thou, for to name no more, dost thou with thy affection and conscience thus question? |
6046 | And how sayest thou? |
6046 | And how then? |
6046 | And how, then, can he come to him by Christ? |
6046 | And if God''s will should be done on earth as it is in heaven, must it not be thy ruin? |
6046 | And if Satan meets thee, and asketh, Whither goest thou? |
6046 | And if he breaks up one of these bags, who can tell what he can do? |
6046 | And if he goes about to do this, is not the law of the land against him? |
6046 | And if he hath said it, will he not make it good, I mean even thy salvation? |
6046 | And if he knows not the Father and the Son, how can he come? |
6046 | And if he saith, See, ye"blind that have eyes,"who shall hinder it? |
6046 | And if it be a blessing to have this fear, is it not wisdom to increase in it? |
6046 | And if it be asked, But what will become of the threatening wherewith he threatened the offender? |
6046 | And if so, did he give His church any other than that most beautiful and comprehensive form called the Lord''s Prayer? |
6046 | And if so, how can their service to God have anything like acceptation from the hand of God, that is done, not in, but without the fear of God? |
6046 | And if so, what shall we then think of the soul for which is prepared, and that of God, the most rich and excellent vessel in the world? |
6046 | And if there is so much in the pride of his countenance, what is there, think you, in the pride of his heart? |
6046 | And if these be acts that speak a condescension, what will you count of Christ''s standing up as an Advocate to plead the cause of his people? |
6046 | And if this gentle check will not do, then read the other, Shall we say, Let us do evil that good may come? |
6046 | And indeed what joy or what rejoicing is like rejoicing here? |
6046 | And indeed, take this away, and what ground can there be laid for any man to persevere in good works? |
6046 | And indeed, the soul that doth thus by practice, though with his mouth-- as who doth not? |
6046 | And is it thus with thy soul indeed? |
6046 | And is not this a needy time; doth not such an one want abundance of grace? |
6046 | And is not this love worthy of all acceptation at the hands and hearts of all coming sinners? |
6046 | And is not this the very ground of thy hoping that God will save thee from the wrath to come? |
6046 | And is there no other way to the Father but by his blood, and through the veil, that is to say, his flesh? |
6046 | And is there not a great deal in it? |
6046 | And is there not all the reason in the world for this? |
6046 | And is this all? |
6046 | And let me ask further, is not he a madman who, being loaded with combustible matter, will run headlong into the fire upon a bravado? |
6046 | And must you needs be upon the extremes? |
6046 | And now what would a man give in exchange for his soul? |
6046 | And now, Adam, what do you mean to do? |
6046 | And now, what can this accuser say? |
6046 | And now, when body and soul are thus united, who can imagine what glory they both possess? |
6046 | And now,''what shall a man,''what would a man, but what can a man that has lost his soul, himself, and his all,''give in exchange for his soul?'' |
6046 | And said, moreover, that they could not wait upon me any longer; but said to me, Then you confess the indictment, do you not? |
6046 | And since he can be both merciful and just in the salvation of sinners, why may he not also save them from death and hell? |
6046 | And so I may say, What think you of ten thousand more besides? |
6046 | And so doing, has it not also accommodated thee with all the aforenamed conveniences? |
6046 | And so with Paul, who tremblingly said,''Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?'' |
6046 | And the ministers of the gospel they also cry, Lord,"who hath believed our report? |
6046 | And the reason is, because he that envieth a sinner, hath forgotten himself, that he is as bad; and how can he then fear God? |
6046 | And the reasons are weighty, for by them he proves the tree is not good; how then can it yield good fruit? |
6046 | And the same I say of his Advocate''s office- What is an advocate without the exercise of his office? |
6046 | And then, to engage us in our soul to the duty, he adds one of his wonderful mercies to the world, for a motive,"Fear ye not me?" |
6046 | And this leads me first to inquire into what, by these words the apostle must, of necessity, presuppose? |
6046 | And thou liar, what wilt thou do? |
6046 | And to put a question upon thy objection- What is a sacrifice without a priest, and what is a priest without a sacrifice? |
6046 | And what angels but those that ministered to him here in the day of his humiliation? |
6046 | And what can Satan say against this plea? |
6046 | And what chains are so heavy as those that discourage thee? |
6046 | And what did you reply? |
6046 | And what did you reply? |
6046 | And what did you reply? |
6046 | And what else? |
6046 | And what follows? |
6046 | And what follows? |
6046 | And what honour like that of being a holy man of God? |
6046 | And what if God will cross his book, and blot out the handwriting that is against thee, and not let thee know it as yet? |
6046 | And what if thou waitest upon God all thy days? |
6046 | And what if you should not? |
6046 | And what is this second veil, in, at, or through which, as the phrase is, we must, by blood, enter into the holiest? |
6046 | And what life, but death in its perfection? |
6046 | And what matter can be found in the soul for humility to work by so well, as by a sight that I have been and am an abominable sinner? |
6046 | And what more fearful than the bottomless pit of hell? |
6046 | And what need of an Advocate''s office to be exercised, if Christ, as sacrifice and Priest, was thought sufficient by God? |
6046 | And what saith the words before the text but the same--''For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?'' |
6046 | And what shall this man do? |
6046 | And what should a man come to God for, that can live in the world without him? |
6046 | And what sympathy and feeling would his arguments flow from? |
6046 | And what then? |
6046 | And what then? |
6046 | And what then? |
6046 | And what then? |
6046 | And what then? |
6046 | And what then? |
6046 | And what then? |
6046 | And what then? |
6046 | And what thunder did Zaccheus hear or see? |
6046 | And what use doth he make of this? |
6046 | And what was that? |
6046 | And what was the conclusion? |
6046 | And what will become of them concerning whom the Lord has said already,''I will not take up their names into my lips''? |
6046 | And what will become of them that trample under foot this Son of God? |
6046 | And what will become of them that trample under foot this Son of God?'' |
6046 | And what will not love suffer? |
6046 | And what will you do whose hearts go after your covetousness? |
6046 | And what, did you despair, or how? |
6046 | And what, did you despair, or how? |
6046 | And what, did you despair, or how? |
6046 | And when a Christian comes to know this, should Christ as Advocate be hid, what could bear him up? |
6046 | And when they had found him, they wonderingly asked him,"Rabbi, when camest thou hither?" |
6046 | And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?" |
6046 | And where is the man that chooseth to go to hell? |
6046 | And where it is most, how far short of perfect acts is it? |
6046 | And where wilt thou leave thy glory? |
6046 | And who can be thankful for a mercy that is not sensible that they want it, have it, and have it of mercy? |
6046 | And who can now object against the deliverance of the child of God? |
6046 | And who can think that he should be quiet, when men take the right course to escape his hellish snares? |
6046 | And who dares to limit the Almighty? |
6046 | And who was that but Jesus Christ, even the person speaking in the text? |
6046 | And who was that, but he that"spoiled principalities and powers,"when he did hang upon the tree, triumphing over them thereon? |
6046 | And why a door of hope, but that by it, God''s people, when afflicted, should go out by it from despair by hope? |
6046 | And why doth he not concern himself with them? |
6046 | And why is it thee? |
6046 | And why is the breaking of the heart compared to the breaking of the bones? |
6046 | And why not now, as well as formerly? |
6046 | And why should a man cumber himself with what is his, when the good of all that is in Christ is laid, and to be laid out for him? |
6046 | And why so? |
6046 | And why so? |
6046 | And why then should not we have also in reserve for Christ? |
6046 | And why thus consider, but that a door might be opened for hope to exercise itself upon God by this? |
6046 | And why, to show, by these, the exceeding riches of his grace to the ages to come, through Christ Jesus? |
6046 | And why? |
6046 | And why? |
6046 | And will he be a favourable no more? |
6046 | And will not this, when they know it, yield them comfort? |
6046 | And will their agreement of hell yield them comfort? |
6046 | And will you, says Unbelief, in such a case as you now are, presume to come to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | And wilt thou hang back or be sullen, because thou art none of the first? |
6046 | And wilt thou judge him that doth thus? |
6046 | And wilt thou say these are things that are not? |
6046 | And would I, as was said before, be thoroughly saved, to wit, from the filth as from the guilt? |
6046 | And yet darest thou say to God, Our Father? |
6046 | And yet dost thou out of thy blasphemous throat suffer these words to come, even our Father? |
6046 | And yet who so idle as they in the time of their prosperity? |
6046 | And you that were sometime alienated, and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled[ but how?] |
6046 | And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled,"how? |
6046 | And''the thunder of his power who can understand?'' |
6046 | And''what and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?'' |
6046 | And, Fourth, what it was for him to be raised unto Israel? |
6046 | And, indeed, if people once say to God, by way of doubt,''Wherein hast thou loved us?'' |
6046 | And,"O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever?" |
6046 | And,"who shall separate us from the love of Christ"our Lord? |
6046 | Are great saints only to have the kingdom, and the glory everlasting? |
6046 | Are great works only to be rewarded? |
6046 | Are his saints precious to them? |
6046 | Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
6046 | Are not these therefore strong desires? |
6046 | Are our fruits meet for repentance? |
6046 | Are the narratives of these mighty tempests in his spirit plain matters of fact? |
6046 | Are the words of God called by the name of the fear of the Lord? |
6046 | Are there any sins now that will fly upon this Saviour like so many lions, or raging devils, if He take in hand to redeem man? |
6046 | Are there bowels in you that are wicked, and will they be wrought upon by an importuning beggar? |
6046 | Are these the tokens of a blessed man?" |
6046 | Are they enemies to Thee? |
6046 | Are they lawful things which thou desirest? |
6046 | Are they so dreadful in their receipt and sentence? |
6046 | Are they such things as thou takest pleasure in? |
6046 | Are they tender of sinning against Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Are they that are justified by Christ''s blood such as have need yet to be saved by his intercession? |
6046 | Are they that are saved, saved by grace? |
6046 | Are they that are saved, saved by grace? |
6046 | Are they things Divine, or things natural? |
6046 | Are they things heavenly, or things earthly? |
6046 | Are they things holy, or things unholy? |
6046 | Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ such as do still stand in need of being saved by his intercession? |
6046 | Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ yet such as have need of being saved by his intercession? |
6046 | Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ, such as do still stand in need of being saved by his intercession? |
6046 | Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such as, after that, have need of being saved by Christ''s intercession? |
6046 | Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such as, after that, have need to be saved by Christ''s intercession? |
6046 | Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such, after that, as have need also of saving by Christ''s intercession? |
6046 | Are thy sins so dear, so sweet, so desireable, so profitable to thee, that thou wilt venture a burning in hell fire for them till thou art burnt out? |
6046 | Are we profanely apt to judge of God harshly, as of one that would gather where he had not strawn? |
6046 | Are we tempted to distrust God? |
6046 | Are you stronger than he that made the heavens, and that holdeth angels in everlasting chains? |
6046 | Art not able to conclude, that to be saved is better than to burn in hell? |
6046 | Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now? |
6046 | Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now? |
6046 | Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now? |
6046 | Art thou a fool in thyself? |
6046 | Art thou a sinner of the first rate, of the biggest size? |
6046 | Art thou almost like Elymas the sorcerer, that sought to turn the deputy from the faith? |
6046 | Art thou also willing that he should decide the matter? |
6046 | Art thou begotten of God by his Word? |
6046 | Art thou come to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Art thou coming to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Art thou coming, indeed? |
6046 | Art thou coming? |
6046 | Art thou coming? |
6046 | Art thou coming? |
6046 | Art thou crossed, disappointed, and waylaid, and overthrown in all thy foolish ways and doings? |
6046 | Art thou followed with affliction, and dost thou hear God''s angry voice in thy afflictions? |
6046 | Art thou indeed weary of the service of thy old master the devil, sin, and the world? |
6046 | Art thou jogged, and shaken, and molested at the hearing of the Word? |
6046 | Art thou most dejected when thou art at prayer? |
6046 | Art thou not come to discourse the Lord in prayer? |
6046 | Art thou not like to fare well, when thou hast embraced him, coming sinner? |
6046 | Art thou not willing to come faster? |
6046 | Art thou now in the favour of God? |
6046 | Art thou returning to God? |
6046 | Art thou righteous in the judgment of God? |
6046 | Art thou righteous? |
6046 | Art thou righteous? |
6046 | Art thou such an one? |
6046 | Art thou that readest these lines such an one? |
6046 | Art thou then made to see thy condition how bad it is, and that the way out of it is by Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Art thou truly born again? |
6046 | Art thou unrighteous in thyself? |
6046 | Art thou visited in the night seasons with dreams about thy state, and that thou art in danger of being lost? |
6046 | Art thou weary of them? |
6046 | Art thy sins of diverse sorts? |
6046 | As God said to Coniah,''Did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him? |
6046 | As HE said,''If God be for us, who can be against us?'' |
6046 | As the mad prophet also saith of God, in another case,''Hath he said, and shall he not do it? |
6046 | As to the things of God, what shall I say? |
6046 | As who should say, My brethren, are you aware what you do? |
6046 | As who should say, My brethren, are you tempted, are you accused, have you sinned, has Satan prevailed against you? |
6046 | As who should say, What would heaven yield to me for delights, if I was there without my God? |
6046 | As, whether there were in truth a God or Christ, or no? |
6046 | Ask him where this God is? |
6046 | Ask the awakened man, or the man that is under the convictions of the law, if he doth not feel? |
6046 | Ask the carnal man to whom he prays? |
6046 | At another time, I remember I was again much under the question, Whether the blood of Christ was sufficient to save my soul? |
6046 | At last the visitor comes and sets his soul at ease, by persuading of him that he belongs to God: and what then? |
6046 | At which I was as if I had been raised out of a grave, and cried out again, Lord, how couldest thou find out such a word as this? |
6046 | Ay, but says the soul,''How can I reckon thus, when sin is yet strong in me?'' |
6046 | Ay, but when? |
6046 | Ay, that is well for you, Paul; but what advantage have we thereby? |
6046 | Aye, but this is a high pitch, how should we come by such princely spirits? |
6046 | Aye, saith he, to whom is that spoken? |
6046 | Aye, wherefore indeed? |
6046 | Because Christ died for me, shall I therefore spit in his face? |
6046 | Beelzebub? |
6046 | Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? |
6046 | Behold, the angels cover their faces when they speak of his glory, how then shall not Satan bend before him? |
6046 | Believe, that is true; but how now must he conceive in his mind of Christ for the encouraging of him so to do? |
6046 | Besides, if men be made righteous, they are so; and if by a righteousness which the law commendeth, how can fault be found with them by the law? |
6046 | Besides, if the promise and God''s grace, without Christ''s blood, would have saved us, wherefore then did Christ die? |
6046 | Besides, to assert the contrary, what doth it but lessen sin, and make the advocateship of Jesus Christ superfluous? |
6046 | Besides, what arguments so prevailing as such as are purely gospel? |
6046 | Besides, who knows of all the ways by which the Almighty will inflict His just revenges upon the souls of damned sinners? |
6046 | Bold sinner, how darest thou tempt God, by laughing at the breach of his holy law? |
6046 | Bunyan, speaking of private prayer, keenly inquires, will God not hear thee"except thou comest before him with some eloquent oration?" |
6046 | But Abraham''s body is now dead? |
6046 | But David answered,"What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? |
6046 | But I am afraid the day of grace is past; and if it should be so, what should I do then? |
6046 | But I ask such, if the Father and Son be not unspeakably free to show mercy, why was this clause put into our commission to preach the gospel? |
6046 | But I can not pray, says one, therefore how should I persevere? |
6046 | But I say doth not this sufficiently show, had we but eyes to see it, what a sad and deplorable creature the child of God of himself is? |
6046 | But I say, if it be so, what need all this mercy? |
6046 | But I say, what is this to him that would fain be saved by Christ? |
6046 | But I say, why all these, thus named? |
6046 | But Jesus, our Advocate, answers as David, What have I to do with thee, O Satan? |
6046 | But Nathanael answered him,"Whence knowest thou me?" |
6046 | But Paul, what moved thee thus to do? |
6046 | But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared"--what then? |
6046 | But again; what mystery is desirable to be known that is not to be found in Jesus Christ, as Priest, Prophet, or King of saints? |
6046 | But are they the people on whom God doth magnify the riches of his grace? |
6046 | But are you willing, said he, to stand to the judgment of the church? |
6046 | But art thou sure thou canst? |
6046 | But ask him how, or under what notion he is to be considered there? |
6046 | But by what spirit is it then that I am brought again into fears, even into the fears of damnation, and so into bondage? |
6046 | But can any imagine that Christ will pray for them as Priest for whom he will not plead as Advocate? |
6046 | But could he not deliver him, or did the Lord forsake him? |
6046 | But could not we have been saved if Christ had not died? |
6046 | But could that heal it, could he not taste, truly taste, or rightly relish this forgiveness? |
6046 | But did He indeed suffer the torments of Hell? |
6046 | But did he prevail against him? |
6046 | But did you not fear it before? |
6046 | But do these people know what they do? |
6046 | But do they believe that thus it is with them? |
6046 | But do you think that these people did ever feel the power and majesty of the Word of God to break their hearts? |
6046 | But do you think that this outcry was caused by unbelief? |
6046 | But does the carnal world covet this, this spirit, and the blessed graces of it? |
6046 | But doth not the Scripture say,"Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life"? |
6046 | But doth not their thus living, abiding, and retaining a being(or what you will call it), demonstrate the greatness and might of the soul? |
6046 | But doth that promise suppose a willingness in us, as a condition of God''s making us willing? |
6046 | But doth the blind Pharisee think his state is such? |
6046 | But doth the guilt and burden of sin so keep them down that they can by no means lift up themselves? |
6046 | But for all this, how thick, and by heaps, do these wretches walk up and down our streets? |
6046 | But for what purpose? |
6046 | But hath not the law promises as well as threatenings? |
6046 | But have you no other way to discover the things of the Gospel, how they are done with a legal principle, but those you have already made mention of? |
6046 | But have you yet any other considerations to move us to fear God with child- like fear? |
6046 | But how and if I should delight in them before I am aware? |
6046 | But how are they distinguished from the Gentiles? |
6046 | But how came he by that repentance? |
6046 | But how came he to be a"new creature,"since none can create but God? |
6046 | But how came he to be affected with this? |
6046 | But how came he to bring his soul into so good a temper? |
6046 | But how came they clean? |
6046 | But how came they thus patiently to endure? |
6046 | But how came they to hear it? |
6046 | But how came this to be so? |
6046 | But how can that be, did they not come to us through the very sides of mercy? |
6046 | But how can this be done by him? |
6046 | But how can you tell you have faith? |
6046 | But how comes it to pass that thou art so hearty, that thou settest thy face against so much wind and weather? |
6046 | But how could God have respect to Abel, if Abel was not pleasing in his sight? |
6046 | But how could a holy God say,''Live,''to such a sinful people? |
6046 | But how did they tempt him? |
6046 | But how do they deliver them? |
6046 | But how doth God kill with this law, or covenant? |
6046 | But how doth he take that away but by a severe chastising of his soul for it, until he has made him weary of it? |
6046 | But how doth that appear? |
6046 | But how doth the soul carry it towards God, when He offereth to deal with it under and by this dispensation of grace? |
6046 | But how if I should have sinned the sin unpardonable, or that called the sin against the Holy Ghost? |
6046 | But how if we do? |
6046 | But how is the Lord righteous? |
6046 | But how long, prophet, wilt thou wait? |
6046 | But how much more may we behold the love that God hath bestowed upon us, in that he hath given us to his Son, and also given his Son for us? |
6046 | But how must he do that? |
6046 | But how must this be? |
6046 | But how now must this fool be made wise? |
6046 | But how shall I come hither? |
6046 | But how shall they escape all those dangerous and damnable opinions, that, like rocks and quicksands, are in the way in which they are going? |
6046 | But how shall we know that such men are coming to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | But how should I do? |
6046 | But how should I know whether Christ do so knock at my heart as to be desirous to come in? |
6046 | But how should I prove[ or try] the goodness of mine own righteousness by the death and blood of Christ? |
6046 | But how should this rule in our hearts? |
6046 | But how should we find out what sinners shall be saved? |
6046 | But how should we know it, said he? |
6046 | But how should we try our graces now? |
6046 | But how then is what he doth accepted of God? |
6046 | But how was Jesus Christ made of God to be sin for us? |
6046 | But how will he do that? |
6046 | But how, if Sarah be barren? |
6046 | But how, if Sarah be past age? |
6046 | But how, if the day of grace should now be past and gone? |
6046 | But how, if they have exceeded many in sin, and so made themselves far more abominable? |
6046 | But how, if they have not faith and repentance? |
6046 | But how, if they want those things, those graces, power, and heart, without which they can not come? |
6046 | But how, if when I come at him he should ask me, Where I have all this while been? |
6046 | But how, if whilst thou lookest for it to come to thee at one door, it should come to thee in at another? |
6046 | But how? |
6046 | But how? |
6046 | But if God deals thus with a man, how can he otherwise think but that he is a reprobate, a graceless, Christless, and faithless one? |
6046 | But if a false faith is so forcible, what is a true? |
6046 | But if this be the sin unpardonable, why is it called the sin against the Holy Ghost, and not rather the sin against the Son of God? |
6046 | But if thou art not come, what can make thee happy? |
6046 | But if we do not use forms of prayer, how shall we teach our children to pray? |
6046 | But is it possible that He should so soon give infinite justice a satisfaction, a complete satisfaction? |
6046 | But is not Christ the gate or entrance into this heavenly place? |
6046 | But is not the door of mercy shut against some before they die? |
6046 | But is not the reward that God hath promised to his saints, for their good works to be enjoyed only here? |
6046 | But is not this a sign of madness, of madness unto perfection? |
6046 | But is not this great grace, that we should thus be called upon to come to God for mercy? |
6046 | But is not this the way to make Christ to loath us? |
6046 | But is there any comfort in being hanged with company? |
6046 | But it may be asked, When was this done to Christ, or what sacrifice of consecration had he precedent to the offering up of himself for our sins? |
6046 | But may it not come again as a spirit of bondage, to put me into my first fears for my good? |
6046 | But may one not be equally engaged for both? |
6046 | But might not Christ die for our sins but he needs must bear their guilt or burden? |
6046 | But must their obstinacy rule? |
6046 | But never let such a wicked thought pass through thy heart, saying,"This evil is of the Lord; what should I wait for the Lord any longer?" |
6046 | But now how doth God lose it? |
6046 | But now, how shall this man be reclaimed from this sin? |
6046 | But now, wouldst thou honour thy King? |
6046 | But one sin that layeth the soul without the reach of God''s mercy; and must I be guilty of that? |
6046 | But perhaps some may say, What need was there that Jesus Christ should do all this? |
6046 | But said, Hold; not so many, which is the first? |
6046 | But shall Christ take our cause in hand, and shall we doubt of good success? |
6046 | But shall I be daunted at this? |
6046 | But shall Manasseh come off thus? |
6046 | But shall such ever come to glory? |
6046 | But shall the will of heaven stoop to the will of hell? |
6046 | But shall this ever be said of Christ? |
6046 | But should I grant that which is indeed impossible-- namely, that thou art justified by the law; what then? |
6046 | But since I have lusts and desires both ways, how shall I know to which my soul adheres? |
6046 | But since I was sealed to the day of redemption, I have grievously sinned against God, have not I, therefore, cause to fear, as before? |
6046 | But some may say, How will they seek to enter in? |
6046 | But some may say, What is the meaning of this word able? |
6046 | But some may say, Wherein doth the saving grace of the Spirit appear? |
6046 | But some may say, what need of the righteousness of one that is naturally God? |
6046 | But still, I say, the question is, How comest thou to know that thou art righteous in the judgment of God? |
6046 | But suppose that at his return he should find his own cattle in that pound, would he now carry it toward them as he did unto the other? |
6046 | But suppose this great person should second his suit, and send to this sorry creature again, what would she say now? |
6046 | But the most of men do that which you forbid, and why may not we? |
6046 | But the question is now, how we should attain to, and live in, the exercise of this blessed and comely grace? |
6046 | But the third thing touched in the question was this-- What may such an one receive of God who is under the curse of the law? |
6046 | But then I turn the tables, and say, But where shall I be shortly? |
6046 | But then how as a Lamb is he in the midst of the throne? |
6046 | But then, sayest thou, how shall I escape? |
6046 | But then, some will say, since it is so difficult, how may we do without danger? |
6046 | But they are Satan''s captives; he takes them captive at his will, and he is stronger than they: how then can they come? |
6046 | But they are dead, dead in trespasses and sins, how shall they then come? |
6046 | But this is God''s complaint,''Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? |
6046 | But this, I say, is a very great block in his way when he meddles with the children; God has an interest in them-"Hath God cast away his people? |
6046 | But though I do wait, yet if I be not elected to eternal life, what good will all my waiting do me? |
6046 | But to come to the point: what righteousness hath that man that hath no works? |
6046 | But to come to the question-- What is it to be saved? |
6046 | But to the second thing, which is this, How far may such an one go? |
6046 | But upon what is this princely fearless service of God grounded? |
6046 | But was David, in a strict sense, without fault in all things else? |
6046 | But was ever heard the like to what Jesus Christ has done for sinners? |
6046 | But was not his faith exercised, or tried, about his willingness too? |
6046 | But was there not something of moment in this clause of the commission? |
6046 | But what a shame is this to man, that God should subject all his creatures to him, and he should refuse to stoop his heart to God? |
6046 | But what are all these righteousnesses? |
6046 | But what are they? |
6046 | But what are they? |
6046 | But what are we to understand by faith? |
6046 | But what did he do with our sins, for he had them upon his back? |
6046 | But what did he speak to them? |
6046 | But what do you mean by these words-- the old covenant as the old covenant? |
6046 | But what do you mean by those expressions? |
6046 | But what do you mean, John? |
6046 | But what does he? |
6046 | But what doth he mean by the dross? |
6046 | But what doth she do under all this trial? |
6046 | But what emboldened him thus to do? |
6046 | But what good will their covenant of death then do them? |
6046 | But what ground hast thou for this thy hope? |
6046 | But what had Joshua antecedent to this glorious and heavenly clothing? |
6046 | But what had he spoken? |
6046 | But what has God prepared this vessel for, and what has He put into it? |
6046 | But what if a man in this his progress hath one sinful thought? |
6046 | But what is all this to one that neither sees his sickness, that sees nothing of a wound? |
6046 | But what is all this to you that are not concerned in this privilege? |
6046 | But what is he? |
6046 | But what is it that a heart that is destitute of the fear of God will not do? |
6046 | But what is it that has got thy heart, and that keeps it from thy Saviour? |
6046 | But what is it then to be of these? |
6046 | But what is it to wait upon him according to his counsel? |
6046 | But what is that to them that never saw ought but beauty, and that never tasted anything but sweetness in sin? |
6046 | But what is the answer of Christ? |
6046 | But what is the matter? |
6046 | But what is the reason of that? |
6046 | But what is this iniquity? |
6046 | But what kind of sinners shall then be saved? |
6046 | But what law is that which hath not power to command our obedience in the point of our justification with God? |
6046 | But what men were to ascend with him, but, as was said afore, the men that''came out of the graves after his resurrection?'' |
6046 | But what must be done with them? |
6046 | But what necessity is there that the heart must be broken? |
6046 | But what need all these offices of Jesus Christ? |
6046 | But what need these things be asserted, promised, or prayed for? |
6046 | But what needs that, if mercy could save the soul without the redemption that is by him? |
6046 | But what of that, if yet he be unable to fetch us off when charged for sin at the bar, and before the face of a righteous judge? |
6046 | But what promises in the Scripture do you find your hope built upon? |
6046 | But what said the Lord unto him? |
6046 | But what saith the Scripture? |
6046 | But what saith the Scripture? |
6046 | But what saith the Word? |
6046 | But what saith the Word? |
6046 | But what saith the apostle? |
6046 | But what saith the sinful soul to this? |
6046 | But what says the distressed man? |
6046 | But what shall we say, when there must be added to that the heart blood of the Son of God, and all to make our salvation complete? |
6046 | But what should a Christian do, when God has broke his heart, to keep it tender? |
6046 | But what should be the reason of that? |
6046 | But what should be the reason that some that are coming to Christ should be so lamentably cast down and buffeted with temptations? |
6046 | But what should be the reason? |
6046 | But what should he believe? |
6046 | But what should such men do in that kingdom that comes by gift, where grace and mercy reigns? |
6046 | But what then are sinners the better for the death and blood of Christ? |
6046 | But what then do we mean when we say, justification will stand with a state of imperfection? |
6046 | But what then doth he mean by the redemption of this purchased possession? |
6046 | But what then was the altar? |
6046 | But what then? |
6046 | But what was Paul but a broken- hearted and a contrite sinner? |
6046 | But what was Paul? |
6046 | But what was it that made him thus slothful? |
6046 | But what was it that made them join their works of the law with Christ, but their unbelief, whose foundation was ignorance and fear? |
6046 | But what was it that moved so upon his heart, as to cause him to do this thing? |
6046 | But what was it to be lifted up from the earth? |
6046 | But what was it? |
6046 | But what was the affliction? |
6046 | But what was the cause of their making this excuse? |
6046 | But what was the reason thereof, I mean the reason from God? |
6046 | But what was the reason? |
6046 | But what was this to a personal performing the commandments? |
6046 | But what were the things that their eyes had seen, that would so damnify them should they be forgotten? |
6046 | But what will he do with him as he is an Advocate? |
6046 | But what will not love do? |
6046 | But what will you say to a soul in this condition? |
6046 | But what would they do if there were not one always at the right hand of God, by intercession, taking away these kind of iniquities? |
6046 | But what would you have us poor creatures to do that can not tell how to pray? |
6046 | But what, did they now love David? |
6046 | But what, then, are the works of the law? |
6046 | But what? |
6046 | But when I heard it, Lord, thought I, if this be true, what shall I do, and what will become of all this people, yea, and of this preacher too? |
6046 | But when he shall see the thief that was saved on the cross stand by, as clothed with beauteous glory, what further can he be able to object? |
6046 | But when must we conclude we have kept the law? |
6046 | But when, Lord, wilt thou laugh at, and mock at, the impenitent? |
6046 | But when? |
6046 | But whence should the soul thus receive sin? |
6046 | But where do you find that ever the Lord did thus rowl9 in his bowels for and after any self- righteous man? |
6046 | But where doth Jesus Christ, in all the word of the New Testament, expressly speak to a returning backslider with words of grace and peace? |
6046 | But where hadst thou that heart that gives entertainment to these thoughts, these heavenly thoughts? |
6046 | But wherein lieth the depth of this wisdom of God in our salvation, if man''s righteousness can save him? |
6046 | But which is the way to make one that is wild, or a madman, sober? |
6046 | But who are these? |
6046 | But who can tell, though there should not be saved so many as there shall, but thou mayest be one of that few? |
6046 | But who doth he personate if he says, This is a house for the soul; for the body is part of him that says, Our house? |
6046 | But who is this that can do this? |
6046 | But who must look upon it? |
6046 | But who told thee that thy soul was such an excellent thing as by thy practice thou declarest thou believest it to be? |
6046 | But who, when called, was there in the world, in whom grace shone so bright as in him? |
6046 | But why could they not learn that song? |
6046 | But why did Christ offer Himself in sacrifice? |
6046 | But why did God let Him die? |
6046 | But why did He spill His precious blood? |
6046 | But why did He suffer the pains of Hell? |
6046 | But why did he commit his soul to him? |
6046 | But why did he do all this? |
6046 | But why did these do thus? |
6046 | But why do I talk thus? |
6046 | But why do the righteous desire to be with Christ? |
6046 | But why do you wonder at a work of conviction and conversion? |
6046 | But why doth Job after this manner thus speak to God? |
6046 | But why doth the devil do thus? |
6046 | But why go back again, seeing that is the next way to hell? |
6046 | But why is God so delighted in the exercise of this grace of hope? |
6046 | But why is all this? |
6046 | But why is it given to him? |
6046 | But why not attain to a performance? |
6046 | But why not in the name of an angel? |
6046 | But why not possible now to be holden of death? |
6046 | But why so? |
6046 | But why speaks he so particularly? |
6046 | But why speedily? |
6046 | But why was the firstborn of men coupled with unclean beasts, but because they are both unclean? |
6046 | But why wonder, and think they are fools? |
6046 | But why would God so order it, that life should be had nowhere else but in Jesus Christ? |
6046 | But why, then, is His death so slighted by some? |
6046 | But why? |
6046 | But will it not, think you, strangely put to silence all such thoughts, and words, and reasons of the ungodly before the bar of God? |
6046 | But will riches profit in the day of wrath? |
6046 | But will that good meal that I ate last week, enable me, without supply, to do a good day''s work in this? |
6046 | But will the plea do? |
6046 | But will you be willing, said he, that two indifferent persons shall determine the case, and will you stand by their judgment? |
6046 | But with what death? |
6046 | But would God have given the world such an account of his sufferings, that by one offering he did perfect for ever them that are sanctified? |
6046 | But would He have done this for inconsiderable things? |
6046 | But would he believe it? |
6046 | But would they do thus if they knew the severity of the law? |
6046 | But would they have done so, think you, if at the same time the fear of God had had its full play in the soul, in the army? |
6046 | But would you have us sit still and do nothing? |
6046 | But would you not have the people of God stand in fear of his rod, and be afraid of his judgments? |
6046 | But would you not have us mind our worldly concerns? |
6046 | But would you not have us rejoice at the sight and sense of the forgiveness of our sins? |
6046 | But yet all the things of God were kept out of my sight, and still the tempter followed me with, But whither must you go when you die? |
6046 | But you may ask me, What the laver or molten sea should signify to us in the New Testament? |
6046 | But you may say, How shall I know that I fear God? |
6046 | But you may say, What is it to exercise this grace aright? |
6046 | But you will say, How should we try our graces? |
6046 | But you will say,"Then why did God give the law, if we can not have salvation by following of it?" |
6046 | But you will say--"But who are those that are thus under the law?" |
6046 | But''how shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |

6046 | But, saith the Christian, I am dull and stupid that way, will not Christ be shuff13 and shy with me because of this? |
6046 | But, saith the soul, how, if after I have received a pardon, I should commit treason again? |

6046 | Hast thou in thee the spirit of adoption? |
6046 | Hast thou no conscience? |
6046 | Hast thou no sins? |
6046 | Hast thou not cursed them in thine heart many a time? |
6046 | Hast thou not known? |
6046 | Hast thou not reason? |
6046 | Hast thou received the spirit of adoption? |
6046 | Hast thou seen thy state to be desperate, if the Lord Jesus doth not undertake to plead thy cause? |
6046 | Hast thou then fled, or dost thou indeed fly to it? |
6046 | Hast thou waited on the Lord so long as the Lord hath waited on thee? |
6046 | Hast thou well improved what thou hast received already? |
6046 | Hast thou, thinkest thou, found anything so good as Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Hast thou, through desires, betaken thyself to thy heels? |
6046 | Hath God forgotten to be gracious? |
6046 | Hath God required these things at your hands? |
6046 | Hath God showed thee that thou art by nature under the curse of his law? |
6046 | Hath He overcome the law, the devil, and Hell? |
6046 | Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?" |
6046 | Hath it not a most vehement flame? |
6046 | Hath not the least creature that hath life, more of God in it than these? |
6046 | Hath not this God great love for sinners? |
6046 | Hath the Holy Ghost, hath the world, or hath thy conscience? |
6046 | Have I been grafted into Christ? |
6046 | Have I the right work of God on my soul? |
6046 | Have not I told thee already that there is no such thing as a ceasing to be? |
6046 | Have not thy groans gone up to heaven from every corner of thy house? |
6046 | Have they faith? |
6046 | Have they hope? |
6046 | Have they pardon of sin? |
6046 | Have they righteousness? |
6046 | Have they strength to do the work of God in their generations, or any other thing that God would have them do? |
6046 | Have they that shall be saved, awakenings about their state by nature? |
6046 | Have they that shall be saved, faith? |
6046 | Have thy sins corrupted thy wounds, and made them putrefy and stink? |
6046 | Have we comfort, or consolation? |
6046 | Have we sinned? |
6046 | Have we the Spirit, or the fruits thereof? |
6046 | Have you forgot the close, the milk house, the stable, the barn, and the like, where God did visit your soul? |
6046 | Have you never a hill Mizar to remember? |
6046 | Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now? |
6046 | Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now? |
6046 | Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now? |
6046 | He also expects this at our hands, saying,"Who will rise up for me against the evil doers? |
6046 | He answered me in a great chafe, What would the devil do for company, if it were not for such as I am?'' |
6046 | He asked me why? |
6046 | He feared God; and what then? |
6046 | He forsakes him--''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'' |
6046 | He hath given us his Son,"How shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" |
6046 | He hath this Abishai, and that Abishai, that presently steps in against him, saying, Shall not this rebel''s sins destroy him in hell? |
6046 | He imagined that he could bear these small afflictions with patience; but''a wounded spirit who can bear?'' |
6046 | He is indeed the great deliverer; but what is a deliverer to them that never saw themselves in bondage, as was said before? |
6046 | He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? |
6046 | He is not ashamed of us, though now in heaven; why should we be ashamed of him before this adulterous and sinful generation? |
6046 | He is thy Creator; is it not seemly for creatures to fear and reverence their Creator? |
6046 | He is thy Father; is it not seemly for children to reverence and fear their Father? |
6046 | He is thy King; is it not seemly for subjects to fear and reverence their King? |
6046 | He is unwearied in his pleading for us; why should we faint and be dismayed while we plead for him? |
6046 | He never said to him,''Why hast thou done so?'' |
6046 | He pleads for us before the holy angels; why should not we plead for him before princes? |
6046 | He pleads for us to save our souls; why should not we plead for him to sanctify his name? |
6046 | He pleads for us, against fallen angels; why should we not plead for him against sinful vanities? |
6046 | He pleads for us, though our cause is bad; why should not we plead for him, since his cause is good? |
6046 | He ran to him, he kneeled down to him, and asked, and that before a multitude,''Good master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?'' |
6046 | He said that I was ignorant, and did not understand the Scriptures; for how, said he, can you understand them when you know not the original Greek? |
6046 | He said unto me, By what scripture? |
6046 | He said, How then? |
6046 | He said, which of the Scriptures do you understand literally? |
6046 | He saith himself, they that come to him,& c., shall find rest unto their souls; hast thou found rest in him for thy soul? |
6046 | He sanctified us with his blood; but why should the Father have thanks for this? |
6046 | He was to offer it, and how? |
6046 | He was, and was his Son, before he was revealed--''What is his name, and what is his Son''s name, if thou canst tell?'' |
6046 | He will receive perfection, immortality, heaven, and glory; and what is folded up in these things, who can tell? |
6046 | Hear, did I say? |
6046 | Heartily spoken; but how did he perform his promise? |
6046 | Hence David, when he speaks of heaven, says,''Whom have I in heaven but thee?'' |
6046 | Hence it follows that Christ will be ashamed of some; but why not ashamed of others? |
6046 | Here is nought but open war, acts of hostility, and shameful rebellion, on the sinner''s side; and what delight can God take in that? |
6046 | His cause; what is his cause? |
6046 | His fee- who shall pay him his fee? |
6046 | House and land, trades and honours, places and preferments, what are they to salvation? |
6046 | How are those treated in this world who are entitled to so glorious, so exalted, so eternal, and unchangeable an inheritance in the world to come? |
6046 | How art thou when thou thinkest that thou thyself hast grace? |
6046 | How came that to pass? |
6046 | How came they by their faith? |
6046 | How came they white? |
6046 | How camest thou to see thy need of this righteousness? |
6046 | How can I judge amiss, when I judge as I feel? |
6046 | How can I then be accepted by a holy and sin- abhorring God? |
6046 | How can it possibly be? |
6046 | How can they have any to Godward that are enemies to him in their minds by wicked works? |
6046 | How can they pray or make conscience of the duty that fear not God? |
6046 | How can those that are accustomed to do evil, do that which is commanded in this particular? |
6046 | How can we judge of a preacher''s good will, but by''peace on his lips?'' |
6046 | How canst thou find in thy heart to set thyself against grace, against such grace as offereth mercy to thee? |
6046 | How could he join in their thanks, and praises, and blessings of him for ever and ever, in whose favour, mercy, and grace, they are not concerned? |
6046 | How did he ply it with Christ against Joshua the high- priest? |
6046 | How did he ply16 it against that good man Job, if possibly he might have obtained his destruction in hell- fire? |
6046 | How do the heirs to immortality conduct themselves in such a prospect? |
6046 | How do they show themselves to be true under the first of these? |
6046 | How do they show themselves to be true under the second? |
6046 | How dost thou find them in outward trials? |
6046 | How dost thou find thyself in the inward workings of sin? |
6046 | How dost thou like being saved? |
6046 | How dost thou like the discovery of that which thou thinkest is grace in other men? |
6046 | How doth that appear? |
6046 | How far? |
6046 | How if I never see the sun rise more? |
6046 | How if the first voice that rings to- morrow morning in my heavy ears be,''Arise, ye dead, and come to judgment?'' |
6046 | How if you have over- stood the time of mercy? |
6046 | How is that? |
6046 | How is that? |
6046 | How is this great object to be accomplished? |
6046 | How it appears that they that are saved, are saved by grace? |
6046 | How many are there in the world whose heart Satan hath filled with a belief that their state and condition for another world is good? |
6046 | How many good souls has he driven to these conclusions, who afterwards have been made to unsay all again? |
6046 | How many have, in all ages, been kept from coming to God aright by the terrors of the world? |
6046 | How many in Israel were destroyed for that which Aaron, Gideon, and Manasseh, unworthily did in their day? |
6046 | How many pay undue respect to buildings in which public prayer is offered up? |
6046 | How many struggling fits had Israel with God in the wilderness? |
6046 | How many times are some men put in mind of death by sickness upon themselves, by graves, by the death of others? |
6046 | How many times are they put in mind of hell by reading the Word, by lashes of conscience, and by some that go roaring in despair out of this world? |
6046 | How many times did they declare that there they feared him not? |
6046 | How many times hast thou had heaven and salvation offered to thee freely, wouldst thou but break thy league with this great enemy of God? |
6046 | How many times, think you, did Israel stand in need of pardon, from Egypt, until they came to Canaan? |
6046 | How many times, when Israel provoked the Lord to anger, did he yet defer to destroy them? |
6046 | How much of God dost thou think is in these things? |
6046 | How now, thought I, is this the sign of an upright soul, to desire to serve God, when all is taken from him? |
6046 | How rapid were his thoughts--''Wilt thou leave thy sins and go to heaven, or have thy sins and go to hell?'' |
6046 | How rich was Jesus Christ? |
6046 | How sayest thou, sinner? |
6046 | How shall I deliver thee, Israel? |
6046 | How shall I make thee as Admah? |
6046 | How shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
6046 | How shall he be brought, wrought, and made, to be out of love with it? |
6046 | How shall they come then? |
6046 | How shall this be proved? |
6046 | How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" |
6046 | How shall we, who are impure and unclean by nature and by practice, draw near unto him who is so infinitely holy? |
6046 | How should he be the Christ, and yet come out of Galilee, out of which ariseth no prophet? |
6046 | How should he contain hopes of life? |
6046 | How should the Lord put any trust in thee? |
6046 | How should we strive? |
6046 | How so? |
6046 | How then can his desires be granted, who himself refused to have them answered? |
6046 | How then can they do anything with that godly reverence of his holy Majesty that is and must be essential to every good work? |
6046 | How then can we be hindered of our hope? |
6046 | How then shall a bad man, any bad man, the best bad man upon earth, think to set himself by his best things just in the sight of God? |
6046 | How then shall the conscience of the burdened sinner by rightly quieted, if he perceiveth not the grace of God? |
6046 | How then should they do good? |
6046 | How then, may some say, doth it become ours? |
6046 | How then? |
6046 | How then? |
6046 | How will men that have before them a little honour, a little profit, a little pleasure, strive? |
6046 | How will the heavens echo of joy, when the Bride, the Lamb''s wife, shall come to dwell with her husband for ever? |
6046 | How, if He had come, having taken a commandment from His Father to damn you, and to send you to the devils in Hell? |
6046 | How, then, can he tell what it is to be saved that hath not felt the burden of the wrath of God? |
6046 | How, then, can he tell what it is to be saved that never was sensible of the sorrows of the one, nor distressed with the pains of the other? |
6046 | How, then, canst thou stand clear from guilt in thy soul who neglectest to act faith in the blood of the Lamb? |
6046 | How, then, could they object that the time was not come for Christ to be born? |
6046 | How? |
6046 | How? |
6046 | I a m under the force of it, and this is my continual cry, What shall I render to the Lord for all the benefits which he has bestowed upon me? |
6046 | I am the basest of creatures, I could even spew at myself? |
6046 | I answer, Art thou sensible that thou hast an action commenced against thee in that high court of justice that is above? |
6046 | I answer, Hast thou well considered the nature of the crime wherewith thou standest charged at the bar of God? |
6046 | I ask, Hast thou entertained him so to be? |
6046 | I ask, and wherefore then served the wood by which the sacrifices were burned? |
6046 | I asked her if she was sick? |
6046 | I asked him wherein? |
6046 | I come now to the second thing into which we are to inquire, and that is, WHAT ARE THE DESIRES OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN? |
6046 | I come now to the third question, namely, But why should we strive? |
6046 | I doubt I do not come as I should do? |
6046 | I have also asked those that pass by the way,"if they saw him whom my soul loveth,"and if they had anything to communicate to me? |
6046 | I query, is it possible to come up to the pattern for justification with God? |
6046 | I said, Are they infallible? |
6046 | I say again, how will they strive for this? |
6046 | I say again, if our love is so slender to our own souls, can any think that it should be more full to the souls of others? |
6046 | I say again, why is it affirmed''without shedding of blood is no remission,''if man''s good deeds can save him? |
6046 | I say, Art thou sensible of this? |
6046 | I say, What hast thou seen in him? |
6046 | I say, Who told thee so? |
6046 | I say, dost thou this, or dost thou hunt thine own soul to destroy it? |
6046 | I say, hast thou entertained Jesus Christ for thy lawyer to plead thy cause? |
6046 | I say, how glorious was it; and how sweet is it to you that have seen yourselves lost by nature? |
6046 | I say, should he say to the poor, Come to my door, ask at my door, knock at my door, and you shall find and have; would he not be counted liberal? |
6046 | I say, therefore, to thee that art thus, And why despair? |
6046 | I say, what benefit have we thereby? |
6046 | I say, what excuse can they make for themselves, when they shall be asked why they did not in the day of salvation come to Christ to be saved? |
6046 | I say, what more fearful than to be tormented there for ever with the devil and his angels? |
6046 | I say, where is he that hath taken his flight for salvation, because of the dread of the wrath to come? |
6046 | I say, where, as to justification with God? |
6046 | I think I am cast off from God, says the soul; so thou thoughtest afore, says memory, but thou wast mistaken then, and why not the like again? |
6046 | I use the means to be saved; and why? |
6046 | I was no sooner fixed upon this resolution, but that word dropped upon me,"Doth Job serve God for nought?" |
6046 | I will do unto them as they have done unto Me; and what unrighteousness is in all this? |
6046 | I.--WHAT IS IT TO BE SAVED? |
6046 | II.--WHAT IS IT TO BE SAVED BY GRACE? |
6046 | III.--WHO ARE THEY THAT ARE TO BE SAVED BY GRACE? |
6046 | IV.--HOW IT APPEARS THAT THEY THAT ARE SAVED, ARE SAVED BY GRACE? |
6046 | If God be for us, who can be against us?" |
6046 | If God be with one, who can hurt one? |
6046 | If He is, then how doth it appear? |
6046 | If a man can not now go to the throne of grace by prayer, through Christ, and so fetch grace for his support from thence, what can he do? |
6046 | If all that desire to go to heaven should come thither, verily they would make a hell of heaven; for, I say, what would they do there? |
6046 | If grace received would do, what need for more? |
6046 | If he also shall ask me, What hath been my preferment in all the time of my absence from him? |
6046 | If he asks me, By what authority I take upon me thus to reason? |
6046 | If he asks me, How I know that the law will not lay hold of me also? |
6046 | If he asks me, Who have been my companions? |
6046 | If he hath, show us where? |
6046 | If he knows not hell, and the torments thereof, wherefore should he come? |
6046 | If he knows not himself and the badness of his condition, wherefore should he come? |
6046 | If he knows not the law, and the severity thereof, wherefore should he come? |
6046 | If he knows not the world, and the emptiness and vanity thereof, wherefore should he come? |
6046 | If he knows not what death is, wherefore should he come? |
6046 | If he was not willing, why did he promise? |
6046 | If heart- breaking work attend such strokes,''Why should ye be stricken any more?'' |
6046 | If it be love for a fellow- creature to give a bit of bread, a coat, a cup of cold water, what shall we call this? |
6046 | If judgment begins at the house of God, what will the end of them be that obey not the gospel of God? |
6046 | If the first come in and say, Why am I judged? |
6046 | If the object of the wrath of God, then is his case most dreadful; for who can bear, who can grapple with the wrath of God? |
6046 | If the question be asked, How a just God can save that man from death, that by sin has put himself under the sentence of it? |
6046 | If the rich man should say thus to the poor, would not he be reckoned a free- hearted man? |
6046 | If there be twenty places where there are assizes kept in this land, yet if I have offended no law, what need have I of an advocate? |
6046 | If these be worth commending then, That vainly show their might, How dare you blame those holy men That in God''s quarrel fight? |
6046 | If this be concluded in the affirmative, what follows but that Christ, though he undertook, came short in doing for us? |
6046 | If thou canst go lustily, what mean thy crutches? |
6046 | If thou sayest yea, then I ask, Who told thee that thou standest accused for transgression before the judgment- seat of God? |
6046 | If thou sayest, Yea; I ask, How comest thou righteous? |
6046 | If we do take occasion to do so, that we may drop, and be yet distilling some good doctrine upon their souls? |
6046 | If what be possible? |
6046 | If yea, then Christ had such; if no, then who can fulfil the law as he? |
6046 | In a word, Doth unbelief bind down thy sins upon thee? |
6046 | In a word, are they converted? |
6046 | In a word, doth unbelief bind down thy sins upon thee? |
6046 | In a word, who knows the power of God''s wrath, the weight of sin, the torments of hell, and the length of eternity? |
6046 | In all this, what qualification shows itself as precedent to justification? |
6046 | In time of sickness, what so set by as the doctor''s glasses and gally- pots full of his excellent things? |
6046 | In whose judgment art thou righteous? |
6046 | Indeed this may be; and therefore no similitude can be found that can fully amplify the matter,''for what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'' |
6046 | Is Benhadad yet alive? |
6046 | Is Christ Jesus not only a priest of, and a King over, but an Advocate for his people? |
6046 | Is Christ Jesus the Lord mine Advocate with the Father? |
6046 | Is Christ Jesus the redemption; and, as such, the very door and inlet into all God''s mercies? |
6046 | Is Christ, as crucified, the way and door to all spiritual and eternal mercy? |
6046 | Is God indeed to be dallied with, and will the end be pleasant unto you? |
6046 | Is He satisfied now in the behalf of sinners by this Man''s thus suffering? |
6046 | Is Jesus Christ an Advocate with the Father for us? |
6046 | Is Jesus Christ the Saviour also become our Advocate? |
6046 | Is any merry? |
6046 | Is coming to Jesus Christ by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father? |
6046 | Is coming to Jesus Christ not by the will, wisdom, or power of man, but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father? |
6046 | Is he God''s fellow? |
6046 | Is he a fool that chooseth for himself long lasters, or he whose best things will rot in a day? |
6046 | Is he a godly man, that will serve God for nothing rather than give out? |
6046 | Is he a pleasant child? |
6046 | Is he a second God? |
6046 | Is he ever the worse for coming to Jesus Christ, or for his loving and serving of Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Is he merciful; will he help thee? |
6046 | Is he of the highest order of the angels? |
6046 | Is he present; will he hear thee? |
6046 | Is he qualified for my business? |
6046 | Is he then left to fill up the measure of his iniquities? |
6046 | Is heaven reserved only for the noble and the learned, like Paul? |
6046 | Is his body dead? |
6046 | Is his mercy clean gone for ever? |
6046 | Is his mercy clean gone for ever? |
6046 | Is his name, person, and undertakings, more precious to them, than is the glory of the world? |
6046 | Is it Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Is it a sign of a fool to agree with one''s adversary while we are in the way with him, even before he delivereth us to the judge? |
6046 | Is it a time to take pleasure, and to recreate thyself in anything, before thou hast mourned and been sorry for thy sins? |
6046 | Is it attended with so many blessed privileges? |
6046 | Is it below thee? |
6046 | Is it fit to say unto God, Thou art hard- hearted? |
6046 | Is it in the judgment of God, or of man? |
6046 | Is it likely that those should have the Lord Jesus for their Advocate to plead their cause; who despise and reject his person, his Word, and ways? |
6046 | Is it not a high point of wisdom for a man to be always doing of that which lays him under the conduct of angels? |
6046 | Is it not a sign of wisdom for a man yet more and more to endeavour to interest himself in the love and protection of God? |
6046 | Is it not a sign of wisdom to depart from sins, which are the snares of death and hell? |
6046 | Is it not better to say now unto God, Do not condemn me? |
6046 | Is it not for a man to sin willingly after enlightening? |
6046 | Is it not pity, had it otherwise been the will of God, that ever thou wast made a man, for that thou settest so little by thy soul? |
6046 | Is it not rather to be wondered at, that thou hast not caught before this a thousand times a thousand falls? |
6046 | Is it not so with you in respect of your beggars that come to your door? |
6046 | Is it not strong as death, cruel as the grave, and hotter than the coals of juniper? |
6046 | Is it not therefore a wonderful mercy to be blessed with this grace of fear, that thou by it mayest be kept from final, which is damnable apostasy? |
6046 | Is it so much to be a fiddle? |
6046 | Is it so, that coming to Jesus Christ is by the Father, as aforesaid? |
6046 | Is it so, that no man comes to Jesus Christ by the will, wisdom, and power of man, but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father? |
6046 | Is it so, that they that are coming to Jesus Christ are ofttimes heartily afraid that Jesus Christ will not receive them? |
6046 | Is it so, that they that are coming to Jesus Christ are ofttimes heartily afraid that Jesus Christ will not receive them? |
6046 | Is it so, that they that are coming to Jesus Christ are ofttimes heartily afraid that he will not receive them? |
6046 | Is it so? |
6046 | Is it so? |
6046 | Is it so? |
6046 | Is it so? |
6046 | Is it so? |
6046 | Is it so? |
6046 | Is it so? |
6046 | Is it so? |
6046 | Is it surprising that the Quakers, at such a time, assumed their peculiar neatness of dress? |
6046 | Is not God as well mighty to punish as to save? |
6046 | Is not HE called? |
6046 | Is not HE glorified? |
6046 | Is not HE justified? |
6046 | Is not heaven worth thy affection? |
6046 | Is not here a door of hope? |
6046 | Is not here encouragement for those that think, for wicked hearts and lives, they have not their fellows in the world? |
6046 | Is not love of the greatest force to oblige? |
6046 | Is not the devil thy father? |
6046 | Is not the same spirit of rebellion amongst us in our days? |
6046 | Is not this God rich in mercy? |
6046 | Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? |
6046 | Is not this a great waster? |
6046 | Is not this a truth? |
6046 | Is not this amazing grace? |
6046 | Is not this an encouragement to the biggest sinners to make their application to Christ for mercy? |
6046 | Is not this grace? |
6046 | Is not this grace? |
6046 | Is not this love that passeth knowledge? |
6046 | Is not this love the wonderment of angels? |
6046 | Is not this the experience of all the godly? |
6046 | Is not this to play the fool, in the account of sinners, while angels wonder at and rejoice for thy wisdom? |
6046 | Is not this true as I have said? |
6046 | Is sin so vile a thing? |
6046 | Is the arm of the Lord shortened that he can not save? |
6046 | Is the blood of Christ, the death of Christ, the resurrection of Christ, of no more virtue than to bring in for us an uncertain salvation? |
6046 | Is the law sin? |
6046 | Is the salvation of the sinner by the grace of God? |
6046 | Is the salvation of the sinner by the grace of God? |
6046 | Is the salvation of the sinner by the grace of God? |
6046 | Is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great? |
6046 | Is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great? |
6046 | Is the soul such an excellent thing, and the loss thereof so unspeakably great? |
6046 | Is the way dangerous in which thou art to go? |
6046 | Is the way of the just an abomination to you? |
6046 | Is there a man that comes to God by Christ? |
6046 | Is there a man that comes to God by Christ? |
6046 | Is there also hope to be in His children? |
6046 | Is there any among thy sins, thy companions, and foolish delights, that, like Christ, can help thee in the day of thy distress? |
6046 | Is there any law now that will curse and condemn this Saviour for standing in our persons to give satisfaction to God for the transgression of man? |
6046 | Is there any vicious propensity, the gratification of which is not included in that character? |
6046 | Is there but one sin among so many millions of sins, for which there is no forgiveness; and must I commit this? |
6046 | Is there grace for me?'' |
6046 | Is there no truth nor trust to be put in him, notwithstanding all that he hath said? |
6046 | Is there not a middle way? |
6046 | Is there not a time coming when the godly may ask the wicked what profit they have in their pleasure? |
6046 | Is there not everywhere in God''s Book a flat contradiction to this, in multitudes of promises, of invitations, of examples, and the like? |
6046 | Is there not palpably high wickedness in every one of the effects of this fear? |
6046 | Is there nothing else to be done but to make a covenant with death, and to maintain thy agreement with hell? |
6046 | Is there perfection in that righteousness? |
6046 | Is there room for me?'' |
6046 | Is there so much ground of comfort, and so much cause to be glad? |
6046 | Is there so much store in Christ, and such a ready heart in Him to give it to me? |
6046 | Is there that condition, they must believe? |
6046 | Is there to be a righteousness to clothe them with that is to be presented before Divine justice? |
6046 | Is this a truth, that the man that truly comes to God in order thereto has had his heart broken? |
6046 | Is this fear of God such an excellent thing? |
6046 | Is this he that professed, and disputed, and forsook us; but now he is come to us again? |
6046 | Is this he that separated from us, but now he is fallen with us into the same eternal damnation with us? |
6046 | Is this the gloomy fanaticism of a Puritan divine? |
6046 | Is this the sum of all, namely, That''the fear of the wicked it shall come upon him,''and that''the desire of the righteous shall be granted?'' |
6046 | Is this to serve God? |
6046 | Is this word more dear unto them? |
6046 | Is thy business slight; is it not concerning the welfare of thy soul? |
6046 | Is thy conscience awakened and convinced then, that thou art at present in a perishing state, and that thou hast need to cry to God for mercy? |
6046 | Is thy heart hard? |
6046 | Is thy heart slothful and idle? |
6046 | It casteth out the Word and love of God, without which no grace can grow in the soul; how then should the fear of God grow in a covetous heart? |
6046 | It confirms it; and this is part of the meaning of Paul in those large relations of his sufferings for Christ, saying,''Are they ministers of Christ? |
6046 | It has ofttimes come into my mind to ask, By what means it is that the gospel profession should be so tainted39 with loose and carnal gospellers? |
6046 | It is a neat and acceptable volume, but why altered? |
6046 | It is a sign of a very bad nature when the contrary shows itself; could God have done more for thee than to have put his fear in thy heart? |
6046 | It is an honour for the poor to stand up for the great and mighty; but what honour is it for the great to plead for the base? |
6046 | It is enough to make angels blush, saith Satan, to see so vile a one knock at heaven- gates for mercy, and wilt thou be so abominably bold to do it?" |
6046 | It is enough to make angels blush, saith Satan, to see so vile a one knock at heaven- gates for mercy, and wilt thou be so abominably bold to do it?'' |
6046 | It is false, said she; for when they said to him, Do you confess the indictment? |
6046 | It is not a sign of foolishness timely to prevent ruin, is it? |
6046 | It is said elsewhere,''For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world, and lose himself?'' |
6046 | It is said in another place;"Can a woman,"a mother,"forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? |
6046 | It is true, Mephibosheth had a check from David; for, said he,"Why wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?" |
6046 | It may be thy great prayer is to say,"Our Father which art in heaven,"& c. Dost thou know the meaning of the very first words of this prayer? |
6046 | It seems then, his heart was fainting; but what was the cause of his fainting? |
6046 | It was their sore temptation; for still, as some affirmed him to be the Christ, others as fast objected,''Shall Christ come out of Galilee?'' |
6046 | It will never backslide again, will it? |
6046 | It would not be reckoned of grace, but of debt; and what would follow from hence? |
6046 | Job was a man a none- such in his day for one that feared God; and who so bold with God as Job? |
6046 | John Bunyan? |
6046 | Just and justified from all things that would otherwise swallow thee up? |
6046 | Justice Keelin said, that I ought not to preach; and asked me where I had my authority? |
6046 | Know you not that this is the judgment of God upon you,"ye despisers, to behold, and wonder, and perish?" |
6046 | Lastly, Is there such mercy as this? |
6046 | Lastly, Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear? |
6046 | Lastly, Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear? |
6046 | Lastly, but dost thou think that thy more grace will exempt thee from temptations? |
6046 | Let our first inquiry be, whether the Saviour intended a fixed form of prayer? |
6046 | Let us stand together; who is mine adversary? |
6046 | Lightning and thunder is made a cause of rain, but lightning alone is not:''Who hath divided a water- course for the overflowing of waters? |
6046 | Look ye now, did not I tell you so? |
6046 | Lord, I have destroyed myself, can I live? |
6046 | Lord, every one of them are sins of the first rate, of the biggest size, of the blackest line, can I live? |
6046 | Lord, shall I honour Thee most by believing Thou canst pardon my sins, or by believing Thou canst not? |
6046 | Lord, what will be the fruit of these things, when for the doctrine of God there is imposed, that is, more than taught, the traditions of men? |
6046 | Lord, who desired Thee to promise? |
6046 | Lord,"who can understand his errors? |
6046 | Man knows the beginning of sin, said Spira, but who bounds the issues thereof?'' |
6046 | Many of this kind there be now in the world, both of men, and women, and children; art not thou that readest this book of this number? |
6046 | May I be saved by him?'' |
6046 | May not the glorified saints become angels? |
6046 | May not these be that sin I trow? |
6046 | May there not come out true men as well as thieves out from thence? |
6046 | May we appeal to our God, Lord, is it I? |
6046 | Men will do thus, as I said, in courts below; and why shouldst not thou approach thus to the court above? |
6046 | Mine eyes have seen vileness in the best of my doings; what, then, think you, must God needs see in them? |
6046 | Must also the general assembly and church of the first- born wait upon thee for their full portions of glory? |
6046 | Must he do what he lists? |
6046 | Must it be, if they turn themselves, or do something to merit of him to turn them? |
6046 | Must it needs be that? |
6046 | Must it needs be the great transgression? |
6046 | Must nobody seek because few are saved? |
6046 | Must not that be much more so accounted? |
6046 | Must the Son of God himself come down from heaven? |
6046 | Must there be redemption by blood added to mercy, if the soul be saved? |
6046 | Must they be bound to their own ruin, by the rebellion of their stubborn wills? |
6046 | Must we not fear falls? |
6046 | Must we, because of these temptations, incline to fall? |
6046 | My brethren, is it not reasonable that we should stand up for him in this world? |
6046 | My hope is grounded upon the promises; what else should it be grounded upon? |
6046 | My sins are more than the sands, can I live? |
6046 | My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? |
6046 | Nay, God favoured His Son no more, finding our sins upon Him, than He would have favoured any of us; for, should we have died? |
6046 | Nay, are not the very thoughts of it altogether displeasing to thee? |
6046 | Nay, art thou not a desperate persecutor of the children of God? |
6046 | Nay, but why dost thou tempt the Lord thy God? |
6046 | Nay, do not many make his Word, and his name, and his ways, a stalking- horse to their own worldly advantages? |
6046 | Nay, further,"Have we not prophesied in Thy name? |
6046 | Nay, is it not the mark of implacable reprobates? |
6046 | Nay, was he not ready to give the lie to the angel, when he told him God was with him? |
6046 | Nay, what world, what people, what nation, for sin and transgression, could or can be compared to Jerusalem? |
6046 | Ninth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners? |
6046 | No affection for the God that made thee? |
6046 | No man, when he buildeth his house, makes the principal parts thereof of weak or feeble timber; for how could such bear up the rest? |
6046 | No, saith the child, nor with this hand either; then have I said, Shall we cut off this finger, and buy my child a better, a brave golden finger? |
6046 | Noah and Lot, who so holy as they in the time of their afflictions? |
6046 | Now I come to the second question-- to wit, What is it to be saved by grace? |
6046 | Now do we regret our want of greater conformity to his image? |
6046 | Now help, Lord; now, Lord Jesus, what shall I do? |
6046 | Now if all these and their works as to our justification, are rejected, where, but in Christ, is righteousness to be found? |
6046 | Now the soul is purchased by a price that the Son, the wisdom of God, thought fit to pay for the redemption thereof-- what a thing, then, is the soul? |
6046 | Now there is both comfort and honour in this; for what comfort like that of being a holy man of God? |
6046 | Now what can deliver the soul from these but grace? |
6046 | Now what can hell and death do to him that hath this mercy of God upon him? |
6046 | Now what did he do by this his carriage, but testify plainly that he was not for receiving accusations against poor sinners, whoever accused by? |
6046 | Now, I pray, what is it to be a devil, but to be under, for ever, the power and dominion of sin, an implacable spirit against God? |
6046 | Now, I remember that one day, as I was walking into the country, I was much in the thoughts of this, But how if the day of grace be past? |
6046 | Now, I would ask, what all this should signify, if a sinner, as a sinner, before he washes, or is washed, may immediately go unto the throne of grace? |
6046 | Now, being made free from sin, what follows? |
6046 | Now, how strong the motions or passions of love are, who is there that is an utter stranger thereto? |
6046 | Now, if Christ, as an Advocate, pleadeth a propitiation with God, for whose conviction doth he plead it? |
6046 | Now, if God shall count me righteous, who will be so hardy as to conclude I yet shall perish? |
6046 | Now, if a call to come hath such encouragement in it, what is a promise of receiving such, but an encouragement much more? |
6046 | Now, if so much safety flows from God''s being for one, how safe are we when God is with us? |
6046 | Now, if they be blind, how shall they come? |
6046 | Now, if this cause be faulty, why doth he live? |
6046 | Now, if thou takest such things for a grant of thy desires, and consequently concludest thyself a righteous man, how mayest thou be deceived? |
6046 | Now, is not this a blessed Christ, coming sinner? |
6046 | Now, justification and eternal salvation being both in Christ, and nowhere else to be had for men, who would not come to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Now, since this is so, what can the condemned at the judgment say for themselves, why sentence of death should not be passed upon them? |
6046 | Now, the question is, how Abraham found? |
6046 | Now, then, I would be saved; but why? |
6046 | Now, then, it will be demanded, how a soul, before it was a month old, could receive sin to the making of itself unclean? |
6046 | Now, to be taught of God, what like it? |
6046 | Now, what can an intercessor do, if he is not able to answer this question? |
6046 | Now, what doth Christ plead, and what is the ground of his plea? |
6046 | Now, what is faith but a believing, a trusting, or relying act of the soul? |
6046 | Now, what is the result, but that the Advocate goes down, as well as we; we to hell, and he in esteem? |
6046 | Now, what is the signification of this name but SAVIOUR? |
6046 | Now, what remains but that we who are reconciled to God by faith in his blood are quit, discharged, and set free from the law of sin and death? |
6046 | Now, what shall God do to save these men? |
6046 | Now, what shall this man do? |
6046 | Now, what was Paul''s answer? |
6046 | Now, when Jesus was born, it is said,''Where is he that is born King of the Jews?'' |
6046 | Now, whence should all this disobedience arise? |
6046 | Now, where lieth the fault? |
6046 | Now, which of these hast thou? |
6046 | Now, will not this last his poor brethren to spend upon a great while? |
6046 | O Lord, thought I, what if I should not, indeed? |
6046 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
6046 | O grave, where is thy victory?" |
6046 | O grave, where is thy victory?'' |
6046 | O how should a poor soul do this? |
6046 | O sinner, wilt thou not open? |
6046 | O thou that fearest the Lord, what is thy desire? |
6046 | O, but I am but one, and a very sorry one, too; and what is one, especially such an one as I am? |
6046 | O, then we should have you cry out, I must have Christ; what shall I do for Christ? |
6046 | Objection.-But doth not Christ as Advocate plead for his elect, though not called as yet? |
6046 | Of God, do I say; if thou wouldst but break this league with this great enemy of thy soul? |
6046 | On his arrival, he demanded,''Are all the prisoners safe?'' |
6046 | Once being at an honest woman''s house, I, after some pause, asked her how she did? |
6046 | One word also to you that are neglecters of Jesus Christ:''How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?'' |
6046 | Or art thou ignorant of these things, and yet darest thou say, Our Father? |
6046 | Or how shall a man be able to give to others a satisfactory account of his unfeigned subjection to the gospel, that yet abides in his impenitency? |
6046 | Or how, if the next sight I see with mine eyes be the Lord in the clouds, with all his angels, raining floods of fire and brimstone upon the world? |
6046 | Or is he ever the more a fool, for flying from that which will drown thee in hell- fire, and for seeking eternal life? |
6046 | Or is his grace so far gone, and so near spent, that now he has not enough to pardon, and secure, and save one sinner more? |
6046 | Or is it not the least of thy thoughts all the day? |
6046 | Or of Heman, when he said he was free among them whom God remembered no more? |
6046 | Or the highly virtuous dame, Must I sue for mercy upon the same terms as the Magdalene? |
6046 | Or the will of Christ to the will of Satan? |
6046 | Or the will of righteousness to the will of sin? |
6046 | Or they who do us scorn? |
6046 | Or those who do our houses waste? |
6046 | Or us, who this have borne? |
6046 | Or what do you think of David, when he said he was cast off from God''s eyes? |
6046 | Or, Can God repute him so, and yet be holy and just? |
6046 | Or, Is it possible that a man that has done as he has, should yet be found a saint, and so in a saved state? |
6046 | Or, as you have it in John, will you love your life till you lose it? |
6046 | Paul did not so much as once ask him, What is your end in this question? |
6046 | Perfect righteousness, what to do? |
6046 | Perfecting holiness, what is that? |
6046 | Perhaps the word''satisfaction''will hardly be found in the Bible; and where is it said in so many words,''God is dissatisfied with our sins?'' |
6046 | Perhaps thou wilt not let go now, what, as a hypocrite, thou hast got; but"what is the hope of the hypocrite, when God taketh away his soul?" |
6046 | Peter asks thee another question, to wit,"If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" |
6046 | Ponder the path of thy feet with the greatest seriousness, thy life lies upon it; what thinkest thou? |
6046 | Poor besotted sinner, is this thy last shift? |
6046 | Poor child, thought I, what sorrow art thou like to have for thy portion in this world? |
6046 | Poor drunken sinner, what shall I say to thee? |
6046 | Poor sin- sick soul, do you consider your state more loathsome and dangerous than the leprosy? |
6046 | Power to do what? |
6046 | Prithee tell me what moved thee to come to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Prithee tell me, What seest thou in him to allure thee to forsake all the world, to come to him? |
6046 | Put thyself now upon this serious inquiry, Am I indeed come to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Reader, have you ever felt thus''in downright earnest''for salvation? |
6046 | Reader, have you had, at any time, equal anxiety for your soul''s health and salvation? |
6046 | Reader, our anxious inquiry should be, Have we entered in by Christ the gate? |
6046 | Reader, would''st see what may you never feel, Despair, racks, torments, whips of burning steel? |
6046 | Reason also says the same, for how can Blacks beget white children, when both father and mother are black? |
6046 | Reason will say, Then who will profess Christ that hath such coarse entertainment at the beginning? |
6046 | Received, into what? |
6046 | Riches and power, what is there more in the world? |
6046 | SECOND, How it appears that Christ hath power to save or cast out? |
6046 | Saith not the gospel the very same? |
6046 | Saith the soul, Can not the devil give one such comfort I trow? |
6046 | Satan often saith of us when we have sinned, as Abishai said of Shimei after he had cursed David, Shall not this man die for this? |
6046 | Satan stronger than the Almighty Redeemer? |
6046 | Saved I would be; and who is there that would not, were they in my condition? |
6046 | Say I these things as a man? |
6046 | Say they, if our iniquities be upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live? |
6046 | Say you so? |
6046 | Second, Art thou come to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Second, But what is it for Jesus to be an Advocate for these? |
6046 | Second, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners, to the Jerusalem sinners? |
6046 | See here, a man at the foot of the ladder, now ready in will and mind, to die for his profession; but how will he carry it now? |
6046 | See here, what should we talk any more about such a fellow? |
6046 | See now, did not I tell thee that thy fears were but the consequence of strong desires? |
6046 | Seest thou a professor that prayeth not? |
6046 | Seest thou here, how saints of old were wo nt to do? |
6046 | Sermon being done, up she gets, and away she goes, and withal inquired where this Jesus the preacher dined that day? |
6046 | Seventh, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners? |
6046 | Shall Christ come down from Heaven to earth to declare this to sinners; and shall sinners stop their ears against these good tidings? |
6046 | Shall Christ think nothing too dear for me? |
6046 | Shall Christ weep to see thy soul going on to destruction, and will though sport thyself in that way? |
6046 | Shall God enter this complaint against thee? |
6046 | Shall God speak to man''s soul, and shall not man believe? |
6046 | Shall I be admitted into, or shut out from, that blessed kingdom? |
6046 | Shall I chide them? |
6046 | Shall I come to particulars with thee? |
6046 | Shall I flatter them? |
6046 | Shall I grieve Him with my foolish carriage? |
6046 | Shall I honour Thee most by believing Thou wilt pardon my sins, or by believing Thou wilt not? |
6046 | Shall I intreat them to hold their tongues? |
6046 | Shall I now be ashamed of the cause, ways, people, or saints of Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Shall I now love ever a lust or sin? |
6046 | Shall I now speak of the place that this saved body and soul shall dwell in? |
6046 | Shall I now yield my members as instruments of righteousness, seeing my end is everlasting life? |
6046 | Shall I slight His counsel by following of my own will? |
6046 | Shall I speak of their company? |
6046 | Shall I speak of their continuance in this condition? |
6046 | Shall I speak of their heavenly raiment? |
6046 | Shall I tell thee? |
6046 | Shall Jesus Christ be interceding in heaven? |
6046 | Shall he look to God? |
6046 | Shall he look to himself? |
6046 | Shall he look to the commandment? |
6046 | Shall he stay from Christ till his heart is better? |
6046 | Shall he that speaks in righteousness give place, and he who has nothing but envy and deceit be admitted to stand his ground? |
6046 | Shall he trust to his duties? |
6046 | Shall he turn away, and not return?'' |
6046 | Shall man believe what God says, and nothing at all regard it? |
6046 | Shall not Christ, then, prevail? |
6046 | Shall not I now be holy? |
6046 | Shall not I now study, strive, and lay out myself for Him that hath laid out Himself soul and body for me? |
6046 | Shall not this lay obligation upon me? |
6046 | Shall that hinder the execution of Shall- come? |
6046 | Shall the dead arise and praise thee?'' |
6046 | Shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel, for do not I know, that I am king this day over Israel?" |
6046 | Shall they come? |
6046 | Shall they prosper that do such things? |
6046 | Shall this man lie down and despair? |
6046 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
6046 | Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
6046 | Shall we do evil that good may come? |
6046 | Shall we do evil that good may come? |
6046 | Shall we sin because we are forgiven? |
6046 | Shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? |
6046 | She, also, that is thine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which saith unto thee, Where is the Lord thy God?" |
6046 | Short- sighted mortal,"shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"'' |
6046 | Should a man ask me how he should know that he loveth the children of God? |
6046 | Should we have been made a curse? |
6046 | Should we have undergone the pains of Hell? |
6046 | Should we pray for communion with God through Christ? |
6046 | Should you ask him that we mentioned but now, How long is it since you began to fear you should miss of this damsel you love so? |
6046 | Since, then, the children have Christ for their advocate, art thou a child? |
6046 | Sinner, art thou thirsty? |
6046 | Sinner, be advised; ask thy heart again, saying, Am I come to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Sinner, canst thou read that Jesus Christ was made an offering for sin, and yet go in sin? |
6046 | Sinner, careless sinner, didst thou take notice of this first inference that I have drawn from my second doctrine? |
6046 | Sinner, coming sinner, art thou for coming to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Sinner, hast thou deferred to fear the Lord? |
6046 | Sinner, hast thou obtained a broken heart? |
6046 | Sinner, if this wicked thought be in thy heart, tell me again, dost thou thus think in earnest? |
6046 | Sinner, what sayest thou? |
6046 | Sinner, what wilt thou take to make a mountain of sand that will reach as high as the sun is at noon? |
6046 | Sinner, where is now thy righteousness? |
6046 | Sinner, why shouldest thou pull vengeance down upon thee? |
6046 | Sinner, wouldst thou have mercy? |
6046 | Sinners, you have souls, can you behold a crucified Christ, and not bleed, and not mourn, and not fall in love with him? |
6046 | Sir, said I, if I may do good to one by my discourse, why may I not do good to two? |
6046 | Sir, said I, pray what do you mean by calling the people together? |
6046 | So David,''Why art thou cast down, O my soul? |
6046 | So I asked her, she being a stranger to me, what she had to say to me? |
6046 | So again saith he in the next Psalm after, as afore he had complained of the oppression of the enemy,''Why art thou cast down, O my soul? |
6046 | So again:"I was left alone,"says he,"and saw this great vision"; and what follows? |
6046 | So full is this of consolation and felicity that the apostle exclaims,''If God be for us, who can be against us?'' |
6046 | So it is here, there is a promise made indeed, but to whom? |
6046 | So that, is there righteousness in Christ? |
6046 | So, again, in another place, he saith,''Lord, how long wilt thou look on? |
6046 | So, again, speaking of the wicked, he saith,''Ye have said it is vain to serve God, and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance?'' |
6046 | So, of which of them hath He at any time said, This is, or shall be, made in or after Mine image, Mine own image? |
6046 | So, then, wilt thou live by the law? |
6046 | Solomon says,''The word of a king is as the roaring of a lion''; and if so, what is the Word of God? |
6046 | Some make their sighs, their tears, their prayers, and their reformations, their advocates-"Hast thou tried these, and found them wanting?" |
6046 | Some may say, Will God see that which is not? |
6046 | Some, as I said, that revolt, are shot dead upon the place; and for them, who can help them? |
6046 | Sometimes I look upon myself, and say, Where am I now? |
6046 | Soon after we set out, my father came to my brother''s, and asked his men whom his daughter rode behind? |
6046 | Soul, he suffered and did bear with the manners of Israel forty years in the wilderness; and hast thou tried him half so long? |
6046 | Still how common is the question, which one of the disciples put to his master,''Lord, are there few that be saved?'' |
6046 | Suppose a child doth grievously transgress against and offend his father, is the relation between them therefore dissolved? |
6046 | Suppose a man, when he dieth, should be made to live for ever, but without the enjoyment of God, what good would his life do him? |
6046 | Suppose a man, when he dieth, should go to heaven, that golden place, what good would this do him, if he was not possessed of the God of it? |
6046 | Suppose it should be urged, that this is a doctrine tending to looseness and lasciviousness; the answer is ready--"What shall we say then? |
6046 | Suppose so many cattle in such a pound, and one goes by whose they are not, doth he concern himself? |
6046 | Suppose they staid but one quarter of an hour there after their fall, before they were cast out, what sweetness found they there, but guilt? |
6046 | Surely it hath not entered into the heart of man to conceive what ear never heard, nor mortal eye ever saw? |
6046 | Tell me, dost thou not desire to desire? |
6046 | Tell me, now, you that desire to be under the law, can you fulfil all the commands of the law, and after answer all its demands? |
6046 | Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him most? |
6046 | Tenth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners? |
6046 | That I may know also, whether the day of grace be past with me or no? |
6046 | That also in the Romans is clear to this purpose,''Who is he that condemneth? |
6046 | That old friend of publicans and sinners? |
6046 | That our duties are imperfect, follows upon what was discoursed before; for if our graces be imperfect, how can our duties but be so too? |
6046 | That tells thee the world is not, even then when it doth most appear to be; wilt thou set thine heart upon that which is not? |
6046 | That the soul, did I say? |
6046 | The Bible had been to him a sealed book until, in a state of mental agony, he cried, What must I do to be saved? |
6046 | The END of the law-- what is the end of the law but perfect and sinless obedience? |
6046 | The Lord spake unto Manasseh, and to his people, by the prophets, but would he hear? |
6046 | The broken- hearted desireth God''s company; when wilt thou come unto me? |
6046 | The children, indeed, have the advantage of an advocate; but what is this to them that have none to plead their cause? |
6046 | The devil will tempt us, sin will assault us, men will persecute; but can they do it to everlasting? |
6046 | The end, what is that? |
6046 | The first is to question whether any are said to die and rise, by the death and resurrection of Christ? |
6046 | The first observation, or truth, drawn from the words is cleared by the text,''What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'' |
6046 | The full pitcher can hold no more; then why should it go to the fountain? |
6046 | The godly are called believers; and why believers, but because they are they that have given credit to the great things of the gospel of God? |
6046 | The grace of humility, when is it? |
6046 | The graces of the Spirit-- what like them, or where here are they to be found, save in the souls of men only? |
6046 | The great question is, not as to the means, but the fact-- Have I been born again? |
6046 | The heart naturally is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; how then should there flow from such an one the fear of God? |
6046 | The judge saith, What canst thou say for thyself that sentence of death should not be passed upon thee? |
6046 | The man under the sixth head complaineth for want of temptations, but thou hast enough of them; art thou glad of them, tempted, coming sinner? |
6046 | The mercy, the pardoning preserving mercy, the mercy of the Lord is upon them, who is he then that can condemn them? |
6046 | The mind becomes entranced, and when sober reflection regains her command, we naturally inquire, Can all this have taken place in my heart? |
6046 | The name of God, what is that, but that by which he is distinguished and known from all others? |
6046 | The name of master is a name of fear--"And if I be a master, where is my fear? |
6046 | The principle, you will say, what do you mean by that? |
6046 | The question is not, Are they blind? |
6046 | The question naturally arises-- What is this''furnace of earth''in which the Lord''s words are purified? |
6046 | The question,"Are there few that be saved?" |
6046 | The questions was answered with that portion of Scripture,''If God be for us, who can be against us?'' |
6046 | The righteous; who is he but the man that loveth God, and his holy will, to do it? |
6046 | The same saying in effect hath also John in the Revelation--"Who shall not fear thee, O Lord,"said he,"and glorify thy name?" |
6046 | The second question is, How should we strive? |
6046 | The second thing is, How are these brought into this Everlasting Covenant of Grace? |
6046 | The second thing that I would inquire into is this: What it is to be''ready to be offered up''? |
6046 | The snare, say you, what is that? |
6046 | The study of those scriptures, in order that the solemn question might be safely resolved,''Can such a fallen sinner rise again?'' |
6046 | The text from which he intended to preach was''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?'' |
6046 | The text says''the desire of the righteous shall be granted''; what then are the desires of the righteous? |
6046 | The valley of Achor; what is that? |
6046 | The whole have no need of the physician; then why should they go to him? |
6046 | The wicked; who is he but the man that loves not God, nor to do his will? |
6046 | Their minds and consciences are defiled; how then can sweet and good proceed from thence? |
6046 | Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; how then can there be found one word that should please God? |
6046 | Their poison-- what is that? |
6046 | Then I ask again, Hast thou committed thy cause to him? |
6046 | Then I ask again, Hast thou revealed thy cause unto him?-I say, Hast thou revealed thy cause unto him? |
6046 | Then breaking out in the bitterness of my soul, I said''to myself,''with a grievous sigh, How can God comfort such a wretch as I? |
6046 | Then did that scripture seize upon my soul, He is of one mind, and who can turn him? |
6046 | Then said Christian, Why doth this man thus tremble? |
6046 | Then said Mr. Bunyan,''Have you the original?'' |
6046 | Then said Nathaniel to Jesus,''Whence knowest thou me? |
6046 | Then such a question as this,"Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding garment?" |
6046 | Then would you have none pray but those that know they are the disciples of Christ? |
6046 | Then, I pray thee, let me inquire a little of thee, what provision thou hast made for thy soul? |
6046 | Then, why may not I doubt that I may be one of these? |
6046 | There are but three or four: and can not God miss them, and save me for all them? |
6046 | There are mansion- houses, beds of glory, and places to walk in among the angels; and who knows what they are? |
6046 | There are rewards for services, and labour of love showed to God''s name here; and who knows what they will be? |
6046 | There is death? |
6046 | There is heaven itself, the imperial heaven; does any body know what that is? |
6046 | There is hope, another grace of the Spirit bestowed upon us; and how often is that also, as to the excellency of working, made to flag? |
6046 | There is immortality and eternal life: and who knows what they are? |
6046 | There is in the text an intimation of a sense of torment''Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'' |
6046 | There is never a rebel in heaven against God, and if he should so deal on earth, must it not whirl thee down to hell? |
6046 | There is reverence, fear, and standing in awe of God''s Word and judgments, where are the excellent workings thereof to be found? |
6046 | There is the mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, and the innumerable company of angels; doth any body know what all they are? |
6046 | There will be badges of honour, harps to make merry with, and heavenly songs of triumph; doth any here know what they are? |
6046 | Therefore from that time that he heard that word,"Why persecutest thou me?" |
6046 | Therefore in this sense it may be said,''Where is the fury of the oppressor?'' |
6046 | Therefore the soul is it which is said to love God--''Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?'' |
6046 | Therefore, how can you bear the face to come to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Therefore, this would still stick with me, How can you tell that you are elected? |
6046 | These are also taken notice of in Job, and go there also by the name of wicked men:"Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? |
6046 | These bloody sacrifices, what did they signify, what were they figures of, but of the bloody sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ? |
6046 | These kill the heart; for who can bear up under the guilt of sin? |
6046 | They are all gone out of the way; how then can they walk therein? |
6046 | They bless, they all bless; they thank, they all thank; and wilt thou hold thy tongue? |
6046 | They shall come, say you, but how if they be blind, and see not the way? |
6046 | They shall, you say; but how if they will not; and, if so, then what can Shall- come do? |
6046 | Think, therefore, with thyself thus, What was it that at first did wound my heart? |
6046 | Thinkest thou that thou shalt weather it out well enough at the day of judgment? |
6046 | Third, Art thou coming to Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Third, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered in the first place to the biggest sinners? |
6046 | This brings us to the most important of all the subjects of self- examination-- am I one of the''righteous''? |
6046 | This dastardly heart of ours, when shall it be more subdued and trodden under foot of faith? |
6046 | This is but reasonable; for if Christ stands up to plead for us, why should not we stand up to plead for him? |
6046 | This is much; but is God connected with this? |
6046 | This is not a sign that you fear me, ye offer the blind for sacrifices, where is my fear? |
6046 | This is of absolute necessity; for how can or shall a man be willing to come to Christ that knows not what he is, what God has appointed him to do? |
6046 | This is plain, not only to sense, but by the natural scope of the words,''What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'' |
6046 | This is the common language,''if our transgressions be upon us, and we pine away in them, How should we then live?'' |
6046 | This is the fear that made the three thousand cry out,"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" |
6046 | This is the time, then, for Christ to stand up to plead; for now there is room for such a question- Can David''s sin stand with grace? |
6046 | This man is minded to give more to be damned, than God requires he should give to be saved; is not this an extravagant one? |
6046 | This may be answered by the question-- Was Peter justified in leaving the prison, and going to the prayer- meeting at Mary''s house? |
6046 | This snare will bring thee back again to the pit, which is hell, and then how wilt thou do to be rid of thy fear? |
6046 | This text utterly excludes the law-- what law? |
6046 | This to reason is very dreadful; for it cuts the soul down to the ground;''for a wounded spirit who[ none] can bear?'' |
6046 | This wicked world doth sentence us for our good deeds, but how then would they sentence us for our bad ones? |
6046 | This, I say, is a character above all angels; for, as the apostle said,''To which of the angels said He at anytime,''Thou art my Son?'' |
6046 | Those of the children of Israel that went from Egypt, and entered the land of Canaan, how came they thither? |
6046 | Thou biddest them be merry and lightsome; but dost thou not know that"the heart of fools is in the house of mirth?" |
6046 | Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou has sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now? |
6046 | Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost think to find mercy now? |
6046 | Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now? |
6046 | Thou mayest also doubt18 thy thoughts of the damned thus: If these poor creatures were in the world again, would they sin as they did before? |
6046 | Thou mayest by thy fear be driven away from God, from his worship, people, and ways, but what will that avail? |
6046 | Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his promise, or that he ever deceived the soul that ventured itself upon him? |
6046 | Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his promise, or that he ever deceived the soul that ventured itself upon him?'' |
6046 | Thou talkest of leaving him, but then whither wilt thou go? |
6046 | Thou thinkest to escape the pit; but what wilt thou do with the snare? |
6046 | Thou wilt say unto me, How should I know that I have done so? |
6046 | Thus also thou may say when death assaulteth thee-- O death, where is thy sting? |
6046 | Thus did Saul by the light that made him see; by it he came to Christ, and cried,''Who art thou, Lord?'' |
6046 | Thus to do is horrible; but mayest thou not judge amiss in this matter? |
6046 | Thy people, what people? |
6046 | Time was, indeed, he could hector, even hector it with God himself, saying,''What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?'' |
6046 | To be made an heir of God, of his grace, of his kingdom, and eternal glory, what is like it? |
6046 | To be saved from sin, from hell, from the wrath of God, from eternal damnation, what is like it? |
6046 | To prosper and be in health, as their soul prospers-- what, to thrive and mend in outwards no faster? |
6046 | To what end, O my soul, art thou retired into this place? |
6046 | To what may such an one attain? |
6046 | To which Bunyan replied;''Friend, dost thou speak this as from thy own knowledge, or did any other tell thee so? |
6046 | To whom could he go? |
6046 | True, the others murmured at him; but what did the Lord Jesus answer them? |
6046 | True, the right of dominion is the Lord''s; but the sinner will not suffer it, but will be all himself; saying''Who is Lord over us?'' |
6046 | True, thou mayest fear as devils do, but what will that profit? |
6046 | USE FIFTH, Again, fifthly, Is it so? |
6046 | USE FIRST.--Is justifying righteousness to be found in the person of Christ only? |
6046 | USE SECOND.--Is it so? |
6046 | USE THIRD.--But, thirdly, is it so? |
6046 | Upon what terms may he have this life? |
6046 | Upon what terms? |
6046 | Us: What us? |
6046 | V. What might be the reasons which prevailed with God to save us by grace, rather than by any other means? |
6046 | V.--WHAT MIGHT BE THE REASON MOVED GOD TO ORDAIN AND CHOOSE TO SAVE THOSE THAT HE SAVETH BY HIS GRACE, RATHER THAN BY ANY OTHER MEANS? |
6046 | Was it God that was offended? |
6046 | Was it not free grace for Christ to give Peter a loving look after he had cursed, and swore, and denied Him? |
6046 | Was it not free grace that met Paul when he was agoing to Damascus to persecute, which converted him, and made him a vessel of mercy? |
6046 | Was it not free grace to save such as those were that are spoken of in the 16th of Ezekiel, which no eye pitied? |
6046 | Was it not grace, absolute grace, that God made promise to Adam after transgression? |
6046 | Was it the removing of thy habitation, the change of thy condition, the loss of relations, estate, or the like? |
6046 | Was not here like to be a fine bargain, think you? |
6046 | Was not this a strange act, and a display of unthought- of grace? |
6046 | Was not this the way that the Lord was fain to take to make them close in with Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Was the unjust steward a fool in providing for himself for hereafter? |
6046 | Was there ever a man in the world so capable of describing the miseries of Doubting Castle, or of the Slough of Despond, as poor John Bunyan? |
6046 | Was this only the temper of wicked men then? |
6046 | We may adopt the language of the poet, and say--''Sinful soul, what hast thou done? |
6046 | We need not lay the reins on its neck and say, What care we? |
6046 | We read, in the book of Revelations, of the holy city, and that it had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; but what did they do there? |
6046 | We received, by our thus being counted in him, that benefit which did precede his rising from the dead; and what was that but the forgiveness of sins? |
6046 | Well might Mr. Doe say,''What hath the devil or his agents got by putting our great gospel minister in prison?'' |
6046 | Well said, and how was it then? |
6046 | Well said, and what after that? |
6046 | Well, but how was he received by the lord of the vineyard? |
6046 | Well, but is there in truth such a thing as the obedience of faith? |
6046 | Well, but what judgment hast thou passed upon it while thou livest in thy debaucheries? |
6046 | Well, but what says God? |
6046 | Well, but whither must they go? |
6046 | Well, said I, shall I send to your master, while you abide out of sight, and make your peace with him before he sees you? |
6046 | Well, said he, to conclude, but will you promise that you will not call the people together any more? |
6046 | Well, what judgment now doth God, the righteous judge, pass upon the damsel for this? |
6046 | Well, will things that are less satisfy thy soul? |
6046 | Were a man to plead for a limb, or a member of his own, how would he plead? |
6046 | Were ever the Pharisees so profane; to whom Christ said, Ye vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? |
6046 | Were it granted that you kept the law, and that no man on earth could accuse you; were you therefore just before God? |
6046 | Were there no objects of pity among those that in the old world perished by the flood, or that in Sodom were burned with fire from heaven? |
6046 | Were there none but thieves there, or were the rest of that company out of his reach? |

6046 | Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear? |
6046 | Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear? |
6046 | Wouldest thou grow in this grace of godly fear? |
6046 | Wouldest thou know whether Christ is thine Advocate or no? |
6046 | Wouldst thou be faithful to do that work that God hath appointed thee to do in this world for his name? |
6046 | Wouldst thou be faithful to do that work that God hath appointed thee to do in this world for his name? |
6046 | Wouldst thou be saved from guilt and filth too? |
6046 | Wouldst thou be saved with a thorough salvation? |
6046 | Wouldst thou be saved? |
6046 | Wouldst thou be the servant of thy Saviour? |
6046 | Wouldst thou have the kingdom of God come indeed, and also his will to be done in earth as it is in heaven? |
6046 | Wouldst thou know whether Jesus Christ is thine Advocate, whether he has taken in hand to plead thy cause? |
6046 | Wouldst thou know whether Jesus Christ is thine advocate? |
6046 | Wouldst thou know, sinner, what thou art? |
6046 | Wouldst thou then know this throne of grace, where God sits to hear prayers and give grace? |
6046 | Wouldst thou willingly hold out, stand to the last, and be more than a conqueror? |
6046 | Wouldst thou, then, know the greatest things of God? |
6046 | Wouldst thou, with all thy heart, be saved by Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Yea, I say again, if judgment must begin at them, will it not make thee think, What shall become of me? |
6046 | Yea, and if he ask me, Why I came home no sooner? |
6046 | Yea, and it has its followers ready at its heels continually to blow its applause abroad, saying,''Who will show us any[ other] good?'' |
6046 | Yea, and why is death suffered to slay the body? |
6046 | Yea, are they not hurtful in the day of grace? |
6046 | Yea, canst thou appeal to the Lord Jesus, who knoweth perfectly the very inmost thought of thy heart, that this is true? |
6046 | Yea, canst thou say, My soul, my soul waiteth upon God, my soul thirsteth for Him, my soul followeth hard after him? |
6046 | Yea, dost thou not vehemently desire to desire to depart and to be with Christ? |
6046 | Yea, hath the truth itself bestowed it upon us, and shall those to whom it is given, even given by Scripture of truth, be yet deprived thereof? |
6046 | Yea, if the works of a sanctified man are blameworthy, how shall the works of a bad man set him clear in the eyes of Divine justice? |
6046 | Yea, is it not meet that to every one they should confess what sorry ones they are? |
6046 | Yea, is it not reason that in all things we should study his exaltation here, since he in all things contrives our honour and glory in heaven? |
6046 | Yea, open thy heart, and take this man, not into judgment, but into mercy with thee? |
6046 | Yea, suppose the child should now, through ignorance, cry, and say, This man is now no more my father; is he, therefore, now no more his father? |
6046 | Yea, the passover being to be eaten on the even of his sufferings, with what desires did he desire to eat it with his disciples? |
6046 | Yea, what a word of worth, and goodness, and blessedness, is it to him that lies continually upon the wrath of a guilty conscience? |
6046 | Yea, what do you think John desired, when he cried out to Christ to come quickly? |
6046 | Yea, what shall we say of such that are the inventors and promoters of wickedness, as of oaths, beastly talk, or the like? |
6046 | Yea, what should they do among that company that are saved alone by grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ? |
6046 | Yea, what works of that man doth God impute to him that he yet justifies as ungodly? |
6046 | Yea, wherefore hath God also given it out that there is none other name given to men under heaven whereby we must be saved? |
6046 | Yea, why is he commanded to let it be so, if the people would bow and fall kindly under him, and heartily implore his grace without it? |
6046 | Yea,"how oft is the candle of the wicked put out?" |
6046 | Yes; for I think if I were deceived before, if I were comforted by a spirit of delusion before, why may it not be so again? |
6046 | Yet the question is, Are they absolutely or conditionally promised? |
6046 | Yet, hast thou fallen? |
6046 | You may ask me, What is it to come boldly? |
6046 | You may ask me, what those things are? |
6046 | You may ask, How should I know those shepherds? |
6046 | You read they come weeping and mourning, and with tears; they knock and they cry for mercy; but what did tears avail? |
6046 | You will say, How should I know that? |
6046 | [ 15] Was this love of God extended to him because of his personal virtues? |
6046 | [ 163] Can a man enter upon the work of the ministry from a better school than this? |
6046 | [ 17] But is he now quit? |
6046 | [ 17] Can it be imagined that when the wicked are in this distress, but that they will desire to be saved? |
6046 | [ 217] Mr. Wingate asked Bunyan why he did not follow his calling and go to church? |
6046 | [ 21] What do all their acts declare, but this, that they either know not God, or fear not what he can do unto them? |
6046 | [ 24] Seest thou the poor? |
6046 | [ 25] The trial we have before God is of otherguise importance,[26] it concerns our eternal happiness or misery; and yet dare we affront him? |
6046 | [ 2] He asked the constable what we did, where we were met together, and what we had with us? |
6046 | [ 31] And how many times are they that fear God said to be delivered both by God and his holy angels? |
6046 | [ 338]''Why was the brazen laver made of the women''s looking- glasses? |
6046 | [ 33] What is this to me, O law, that thou accusest me, and sayest that I have committed many sins? |
6046 | [ 38] But is our present need all the need that we are like to have, and the present work all the work that we have to do in the world? |
6046 | [ 39] Will it be comfort to thee to see the Saviour turn Judge? |
6046 | [ 5] The genuine disciple"who thinketh no evil"will say, Can this be so now? |
6046 | [ 5] Where is the man, except he be a willful perverter of Divine truth, who can charge the doctrines of grace with licentiousness? |
6046 | [ 6] Would you be ready to die in peace? |
6046 | [ How should we strive?] |
6046 | [ WHAT ARE THE DESIRES OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN?] |
6046 | [ WHO IS THE RIGHTEOUS MAN?] |
6046 | [ Why should we strive?] |
6046 | a promise that declares, yea, that engageth Christ Jesus to open his heart to receive the coming sinner? |
6046 | a promise that looks at the first moving of the heart after Jesus Christ? |
6046 | afraid to go to Joseph''s house? |
6046 | all who? |
6046 | and again, He beholds the proud afar off? |
6046 | and again,"O death, where is thy sting? |
6046 | and also how God doth make a man righteous with it? |
6046 | and are notions and whimsies of such credit with thee that thou must leave the foundation to follow them? |
6046 | and are you stronger than He? |
6046 | and art thou for ever resolved so to do? |
6046 | and canst thou find in thy heart to labour to lay more sins upon His back? |
6046 | and comes as it were to the borders of doubt, saying,''Who shall deliver me?'' |
6046 | and falsify their words for thee? |
6046 | and fears as he desires to fear God''s name? |
6046 | and from whence would the flaming flame ascend highest, and make the most roaring noise? |
6046 | and how could Abel be yet pleasing in his sight, for the sake of his own righteousness, when it is plain that Abel had not yet done good works? |
6046 | and how if all our faith, and Christ, and Scriptures, should be but a think- so too? |
6046 | and how? |
6046 | and if to two, why not to four, and so to eight? |
6046 | and in Thy name have cast out devils?" |
6046 | and in thy name done many wonderful works?" |
6046 | and in thy name done many wonderful works?" |
6046 | and in thy name have cast out devils? |
6046 | and in thy name have cast out devils? |
6046 | and is God''s love and care of the salvation of the souls of sinners infinitely greater than is their own care for their own souls? |
6046 | and loves as he desires to love? |
6046 | and shall I count anything too dear for Him? |
6046 | and so, consequently, say unto God,"Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways; or, What is the Almighty that we should serve him? |
6046 | and that eternal life with God''s favour, is better than a temporal life in God''s displeasure? |
6046 | and that made the jailer cry out, and that with great trembling of soul,"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" |
6046 | and the company of God, Christ, saints, and angels, be better than the company of Cain, Judas, Balaam, with the devils in the furnace of fire? |
6046 | and to say now, Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner? |
6046 | and to what did they make him stoop? |
6046 | and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" |
6046 | and what course should I take to be delivered from this sad and troublesome condition? |
6046 | and what fruits in all their labour? |
6046 | and what is the criterion of Christian charity, except it be''zeal for the salvation of others in his heart?'' |
6046 | and what is the reason of that, but a persuasion that there is no help for him in God? |
6046 | and what profit should we have if we pray unto him?'' |
6046 | and what still wilt thou further do, if mercy, and blood and grace doth not prevent thee? |
6046 | and when it is committed? |
6046 | and where is the place of my rest? |
6046 | and where, when He speaketh of them, doth He express a communion that they have with Him by the similitude of conjugal love? |
6046 | and whether the holy Scriptures were not rather a fable, and cunning story, than the holy and pure Word of God? |
6046 | and why I did not content myself with following my calling? |
6046 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
6046 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
6046 | and why did he so long for it, but of desire to do us good? |
6046 | and why dost Thou pass such a sad sentence of condemnation upon us? |
6046 | and why may we not go to Christ in the name of the Father, as well as to the Father in the name of Christ? |
6046 | and why must he make his arrows sharp, and all, that the heart may with this sword and these arrows be shot, wounded, and made to bleed? |
6046 | and will he judge a man just that is a sinner? |
6046 | and yet all this is included in this word saved, and in the answer to that question,"Are there few that be saved?" |
6046 | and, I say, as I said before, in whom is it, light, like so to shine, as in the souls of great sinners? |
6046 | and,''Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?'' |
6046 | and,''What wouldst thou have me do?'' |
6046 | any him that cometh to thee? |
6046 | are not the things that are eternal best? |
6046 | are these the effects of a purblind spirit? |
6046 | are these the tokens of a blessed man? |
6046 | are they not rather the fruits of an eagle- eyed confidence? |
6046 | are we better than they? |
6046 | are we better than they? |
6046 | are we stronger than He?'' |
6046 | are ye made to be taken and destroyed? |
6046 | are you not ashamed of your doings? |
6046 | arise: why standest thou still? |
6046 | art thou one of them that hast cast off fear? |
6046 | art thou weary? |
6046 | art thou willing? |
6046 | because Christ is our pattern, is he not our passover? |
6046 | but how much is there of it?'' |
6046 | but how shall I come by them? |
6046 | can the floods drown it? |
6046 | can these be possessed with this grace of fear? |
6046 | canst thou give no better counsel touching those whom God hath wounded, than to send them to the ordinances of hell for help? |
6046 | canst thou imagine that such a gnat, a flea, a pismire as thou art, can take and possess the heavens, and mantle thyself up in the eternal glories? |
6046 | canst thou judge no better? |
6046 | cast a world behind thy back for the welfare of a soul? |
6046 | count convictions for sin, mournings for sin, and repentance for sin, melancholy? |
6046 | did they now choose him to be their king? |
6046 | did they say, did they do nothing while they sat before the throne? |
6046 | did you see how I turned again to those vanities from which some time before I fell? |
6046 | do they not tend to surfeit the heart, and to alienate a man and his mind from the things that are better? |
6046 | do you design the glory of God, in the salvation of your soul? |
6046 | do you not understand that God is resolved to have the mastery one way or another? |
6046 | dost thou know what thou art? |
6046 | dost thou not know that thou by so doing deferrest the coming of thy dearest Lord? |
6046 | dost thou think that God, Christ, Prophets, and Scriptures, will all lie for thee? |
6046 | doth his coming to Jesus Christ offend thee? |
6046 | doth his forsaking of his sins and pleasures offend thee? |
6046 | doth his pursuing of his own salvation offend thee? |
6046 | doth not this man deserve to be ranked among the extravagant ones? |
6046 | doth she give up her faith and hope, and return to that fear that begot the first bondage? |
6046 | fear God and a liar, and one that cries for mercies to spend them upon thy lusts? |
6046 | fear God and be proud, and covetous, a wine- bibber, and a riotous eater of flesh? |
6046 | fear God without a change of heart and life? |
6046 | fear God, and in a state of nature? |
6046 | flow they not, think you, from faith of the finest sort, and are they not bred in the bosom of a truly mortified soul? |
6046 | for a man must know before he does, else how should he divert[13] himself to do? |
6046 | for providing friends to receive him to harbour when others should turn him out of their doors? |
6046 | for to do things, but not in God''s fear, to what will it amount? |
6046 | has God bestowed a contrite spirit upon thee? |
6046 | hast thou cried out? |
6046 | hast thou cried? |
6046 | hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not? |
6046 | hath it ears? |
6046 | hath it eyes? |
6046 | have they not in them power to loose the bands of nature, and to harden the soul against sorrow? |
6046 | how came the prophet by this sight? |
6046 | how canst thou deal so unkindly with such a sweet Lord Jesus? |
6046 | how doth he behave himself in his presence? |
6046 | how he found that which some of his children sought and missed? |
6046 | how much of his Spirit, and the grace of his Word? |
6046 | how poorly will these be able to plead the virtues of the law to which they have cleaved, when God shall answer them,''Whom dost thou pass in beauty? |
6046 | how readest thou? |
6046 | how shall I come at Christ? |
6046 | if it were not for these three or four words, now how might I be comforted? |
6046 | if, at any time, any of them are mentioned, how seemingly coldly doth the record of scripture present them to us? |
6046 | in sinking into the bottom of the sea with company? |
6046 | in the body of his flesh,[ that then must be first: to what?] |
6046 | is all right with my soul? |
6046 | is man such a fool as to believe things, and yet not look after them? |
6046 | is sitting alone, pensive under God''s hand, reading the Scriptures, and hearing of sermons,& c., the way to be undone? |
6046 | is the soul so precious a thing? |
6046 | is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great? |
6046 | is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great? |
6046 | is there not life and mettle in them? |
6046 | is thy heart still so stubborn as not to say yet,"Let us fear the Lord?" |
6046 | it is the gift of the Father--"how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him( Luke 11:13)? |
6046 | it was for sufferings; and why made he ready for them but because he saw they wrought out for him a''far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory?'' |
6046 | may not, therefore, the spirit of bondage be sent again to put me in fear, as at first? |
6046 | must he save them all? |
6046 | must ye utterly perish in your own corruptions? |
6046 | must you mind this world to the damning of your souls? |
6046 | nay, may they not both fall short? |
6046 | none for his loving Son that has showed his love, and died for thee? |
6046 | not fear in the day of evil? |
6046 | not when the iniquity of thy heels compasseth thee about? |
6046 | of works? |
6046 | or a way for the lightning of thunder to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is: on the wilderness wherein there is no man?'' |
6046 | or art thou none of those that should look after the salvation of their soul? |
6046 | or can there be no salvation? |
6046 | or dost think thou mayest lose thy soul, and save thyself? |
6046 | or dost thou but dream thereof? |
6046 | or dost thou think that thou shalt escape the judgment? |
6046 | or doth grace teach you to plead for the flesh, or the making provision for the lusts thereof? |
6046 | or has the day of grace been suffered to pass by never to return? |
6046 | or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?'' |
6046 | or how is that? |
6046 | or how would she frame an answer? |
6046 | or if Christ is the throne of grace and mercy- seat, how doth he appear before God as sitting there, to sprinkle that now with his blood? |
6046 | or if it so may be said; yet whether thou art one of them? |
6046 | or in going to hell, in burning in hell, and in enduring the everlasting pains of hell, with company? |
6046 | or must the effectualness of Christ''s merits, as touching our perseverance, be helped on by the doings of man? |
6046 | or no forgiveness of sins--"If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?" |
6046 | or of restoring what he had oft taken away? |
6046 | or shall we be base in life because God by grace hath secured us from wrath to come? |
6046 | or shall we not much matter what manner of lives we live, because we are set free from the law of sin and death? |
6046 | or that he was to be buried in Joseph''s sepulchre? |
6046 | or that he will speak for them to God for whom he will not plead against the devil? |
6046 | or that when the gate of mercy is shut up in wrath, he will at thy pleasure, and to the reversing of his own counsel, open it again to thee? |
6046 | or that your prayers come from the braying, panting, and longing of your hearts? |
6046 | or the tabernacle made with corruptible things, to the body of Christ, or heaven itself? |
6046 | or those either who are so far off from sense of, and shame for, sin, that it is the only thing they hug and embrace? |
6046 | or to say, all this is mine, but have nothing to show for it? |
6046 | or to see this great appearance of this great God, and the Lord Jesus Christ? |
6046 | or was not this man like to be a gainer by so doing? |
6046 | or what advantage can he get by his thus vexing and troubling the children of the Most High? |
6046 | or what is a remnant of wheat to the whole harvest? |
6046 | or what is he? |
6046 | or what profit have we if we keep his ways?" |
6046 | or what profit shall I have if I keep his commandments? |
6046 | or who are they that by this exhortation are called upon to come? |
6046 | or who did Christ come into the world to save, but the chief of sinners? |
6046 | or will that penny that supplied my want the other day, I say, will the same penny also, without a supply, supply my wants today? |
6046 | or will that seasonable shower which fell last year, be, without supplies, a seasonable help to the grain and grass that is growing now? |
6046 | or will the law slay both him and us, and that for the same transgression? |
6046 | or will you hate your life, and save it? |
6046 | or will you not mind your callings at all? |
6046 | or will you shun the cross to save your lives, and so run the danger of eternal damnation? |
6046 | or wilt thou be desperate, and venture all? |
6046 | or wouldst thou know if thou hast? |
6046 | or''him,''by believing thou neither wilt nor canst? |
6046 | or, Can the merits of the Lord Jesus reach, according to the law of heaven, a man in this condition? |
6046 | or, as he was in the flesh? |
6046 | or, because we should in these things follow his steps, died he not for our sins? |
6046 | or, by acts and works of the flesh? |
6046 | or, in other words,''am I born again?'' |
6046 | or, in the humble hope that your course is accomplished, are you patiently waiting the heavenly messenger? |
6046 | or, what is a handful out of the rest of the world? |
6046 | or, what need you trouble us with these nice distinctions? |
6046 | poor man, what wilt thou do when these three things beset thee? |
6046 | pull no longer; why shouldest thou be thine own executioner? |
6046 | room, I say, for man''s righteousness, as to his acceptance and justification? |
6046 | saith Satan; why, that will I. Ay, saith he, but who can do it, and prevail? |
6046 | saith the Lord; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?" |
6046 | saith the Lord; will ye not tremble at my presence?" |
6046 | saith the backslider that is returned, did you see how I left my God? |
6046 | saith the child, pray do not hurt me: I then have replied, Canst thou do nothing with this finger? |
6046 | says the honourable man, must I take mercy upon no higher consideration than the thief on the cross? |
6046 | seest thou the fatherless? |
6046 | seest thou thy foe in distress? |
6046 | set more by thy soul than by all the world? |
6046 | shall Christ become a drudge for you; and will you be drudges for the devil? |
6046 | shall I threaten them? |
6046 | shall not the worthiness of the Son of God be sufficient to save from the sin of man? |
6046 | shall the desire of the righteous be granted? |
6046 | shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
6046 | shall we sin that grace may abound? |
6046 | should we pray for faith, for justification by grace, and a truly sanctified heart? |
6046 | sin, what art thou? |
6046 | so was he: are we tempted to commit idolatry, and to worship the devil? |
6046 | so was he: are we tempted to murder ourselves? |
6046 | so was he: are we tempted with the bewitching vanities of this world? |
6046 | such privileges as these? |
6046 | teach men to put God and his Word out of their minds, by running to merry company, by running to the world, by gossiping? |
6046 | than He that shook hands with the Father in making of the covenant? |
6046 | that he was to be crowned with thorns? |
6046 | that he was to be crucified between two thieves, and to be pierced till blood and water came out of his side? |
6046 | that he was to be scourged of the soldiers? |
6046 | that is, he is so;''is he a pleasant child?'' |
6046 | that remember thy triumphant victory? |
6046 | that the damned shall never be burned out in hell? |
6046 | that word came suddenly upon me,"What shall we then say to these things? |
6046 | the desires of the flesh, or the lusts of the spirit, whose side art thou of? |
6046 | then how should I come? |
6046 | then they may be coming to him, for aught you know; and why will ye be worse than the brute, to speak evil of the things you know not? |
6046 | thou thinkest to escape the fear; but what wilt thou do with the pit? |
6046 | thy God has bidden thee''open thy mouth wide''; he has bid thee open it wide, and promised, saying,''And I will fill it''; and wilt thou not desire? |
6046 | to believe great things, and yet not to concern himself with them? |
6046 | to hear this trump of God? |
6046 | to see him that wept and died for the sin of the world now ease his mind on Christ- abhorring sinners by rendering to them the just judgment of God? |
6046 | to the salvation of the soul? |
6046 | to truck+ with the devil?'' |
6046 | was made the curse of God for me? |
6046 | were they silent? |
6046 | what a fool has sin made of thee? |
6046 | what a privilege is this, but who believes it? |
6046 | what aileth the man thus to express himself? |
6046 | what an ass art thou become to sin? |
6046 | what are you doing? |
6046 | what care they for his Word? |
6046 | what comfort in their greatness? |
6046 | what does a righteous man desire? |
6046 | what does not the world owe to thee and to the great Being who could produce such as thee? |
6046 | what is deliverance from hell without the enjoyment of God? |
6046 | what is ease without the peace and enjoyment of God? |
6046 | what is faith to possession? |
6046 | what is he adoing now? |
6046 | what is he advantaged by his rich adventure? |

6049 | After I had been thus for some considerable time, another thought came into my mind; and that was, whether we were of the Israelites, or no? |
6049 | After this He led them into His garden, where was great variety of flowers; and he said, Do you see all these? |
6049 | After this, she thought she saw two very ill- favoured ones standing by her bedside, and saying, What shall we do with this woman? |
6049 | After this, that other doubt did come with strength upon me, But how if the day of grace should be past and gone? |
6049 | Again I ask, Hast thou considered what truth, as to matter of fact, there is in the things whereof thou standest accused? |
6049 | Again, But do you not follow them with clamours and out- cries, that their communion, even amongst themselves, is unwarrantable? |
6049 | Again, But who has the perfect knowledge of all these things? |
6049 | Again, Did not Moses write of the Saviour that was to come afterwards into the world? |
6049 | Again, How basely do they behave themselves, how unlike are they to win, that think it enough to keep company with the hindmost? |
6049 | Again, Is it so, that no man comes to Jesus Christ by the will, wisdom, and power of man, but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father? |
6049 | Again, Was the man a good man? |
6049 | Again, What kind of righteousness of thine, is this, that standeth in a misplacing, and so consequently in a misesteeming of God''s commands? |
6049 | Again, are the people of God to behave themselves to the glory of God the Father? |
6049 | Again, how did Satan ply it against Peter, when he desired to have him, that he might sift him as wheat? |
6049 | Again, if Christ be the altar of incense, how stands he as a priest by that altar to offer the prayers of all the saints thereon, before the throne? |
6049 | Again, if thy parents, and thou also, be godly, how happy a thing is this? |
6049 | Again, if you say he hath no other body but his church, then I ask, What that was that was taken down from the cross? |
6049 | Again, is there such a length? |
6049 | Again, see Peter''s testimony of this Son of Mary; When Jesus asked his disciples, whom say ye that I am? |
6049 | Again, shall God, who is the truth, Say there is heaven and hell And shall men play that trick of youth To say, But who can tell? |
6049 | Again, suppose the father should scourge and chasten the son for such offence, is the relation between them therefore dissolved? |
6049 | Again, what a continuation of this alarm was there also at the birth of Jesus, which was about three months after John Baptist was born? |
6049 | Again, what needed the woman to have a place of shelter in the wilderness, when there was no war made against her? |
6049 | Again, would the people learn to be covetous? |
6049 | Again,"Whether I am come to one of the days of the thousand years?" |
6049 | Again,"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
6049 | Again,''If they hear not Moses and the prophets,''& c. As if he had said, Thou wouldst have me send one from the dead unto them; what needs that? |
6049 | Again,''Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? |
6049 | Again,''What is man, that he should be clean? |
6049 | Again; Hast thou found a failure in all others that might have been entertained to plead thy cause? |
6049 | Again; when Esau threatened to slay his brother, Rebecca sent him away, saying,"Why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?" |
6049 | Again; why not live upon Christ alway? |
6049 | Ah, Mind, why didst thou do those things That now do work my woe? |
6049 | Ah, Will, why was thou thus inclin''d Me ever to undo? |
6049 | Alas, but how shall I come? |
6049 | All God''s children are criers-- cannot you be quiet without you have a bellyful of the milk of God''s Word? |
6049 | All covetousness is idolatry; but what is that, or what will you call it, when men are religious for filthy lucre''s sake? |
6049 | All our anxious inquiries should be, Is Emmanuel in Heart- castle? |
6049 | All they,''that is, that are in hell, shall say,''Art thou also become weak as we? |
6049 | All this is made to appear by the angels that fell; for when fallen, what was heaven to them? |
6049 | All this is taught us by the spoons; for what need is there of spoons where there is nothing to eat but strong meat? |
6049 | All this, what does it argue, I say, but thy diffidence of God? |
6049 | Also before his friends, how bold was he? |
6049 | Also that he may deny to give them that grace that would preserve them from sin, without being guilty of their damnation? |
6049 | Also to Simon Magus for but undervaluing of it? |
6049 | Also when the mariners inquired of Jonah, saying,"What is thine occupation, and whence comest thou? |
6049 | Also whether reprobation be the cause of condemnation? |
6049 | Also your neighbours are diligent for things that will perish; and will you be slothful for things that will endure for ever? |
6049 | Also, if he ask me, What is become of the portion of goods that he gave me? |
6049 | Also, what if she had laid wait round about him, to espy if he was not otherwise behind her back than he was before her face? |
6049 | Also, when Job had God present with him, making manifest the goodness of his great heart to him, what doth he say? |
6049 | Also, wouldst thou know what a sad thing it is for any to turn their backs upon the gospel of Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Am I a new creature in Him? |
6049 | Am I coming, indeed, to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Am I in a case to be thus near mine end? |
6049 | Am I one of the elect? |
6049 | Amaziah having sinned against the Lord, he sends to him a prophet to reprove him; but Amaziah says,''Forbear, why shouldest thou be smitten?'' |
6049 | And I ask, Why doth the wife-- that is, as the loving hind-- love to be in the presence of her husband? |
6049 | And I say again, if one sin, the least sin deserveth all these things, what thinkest thou do all thy sins deserve? |
6049 | And I say again, this is the work of a Creator, and a Creator can maintain it in its gallantry, FOOTNOTE? |
6049 | And I say again, wherefore has he so plainly told us of his greatness, and of what he can do? |
6049 | And Jesus said to them,''Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?'' |
6049 | And Paul asked them, Whether they had yet''received the Holy Ghost?'' |
6049 | And Paul, when he said, he could wish that himself were accursed from Christ, for the vehement desire that he had that the Jews might be saved? |
6049 | And a new heart and a new man must have objects of delight that are new, and like himself;''Old things are passed away''; why? |
6049 | And again( Gal 3:2,5 compared together),''Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law,[ saith the Apostle] or by the hearing of faith?'' |
6049 | And again, What he hath made crooked, who can make straight? |
6049 | And again, some of them that are for infant baptism die for that as a truth? |
6049 | And again, where Judas( not Iscariot) said; Lord, how is it, that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not unto the world? |
6049 | And again,"Beware of men,"& c. when I had answered him, that blessed be God I was well, he said, What is the occasion of your being here? |
6049 | And again,"If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? |
6049 | And again,"If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?" |
6049 | And again,"Whom shall I send, and who will go for US?" |
6049 | And again,''Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? |
6049 | And again,''My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God, when shall I come and appear before God?'' |
6049 | And again,''When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?'' |
6049 | And albeit, saith Satan, thou prayest sometimes, yet is not thy heart possessed with a belief that God will not regard thee? |
6049 | And albeit, saith Satan, thou prayest sometimes, yet is not thy heart possessed with a belief that God will not regard thee? |
6049 | And all the rest they baptized, were they not left free to join themselves for their convenience and edification? |
6049 | And are not all His holy doctrines also stamped with the same Divine sanction? |
6049 | And are not these pleasant sights? |
6049 | And are not you the same? |
6049 | And are they willing, God helping them, to run hazards for his name, for the love they bear to him? |
6049 | And are we not in him, in him, even as so considered? |
6049 | And are you able thus to imitate him? |
6049 | And are you willing to stand by their judgment in the case? |
6049 | And art thou now as perfectly innocent as ever was Jesus Christ? |
6049 | And as he went down deeper, he said,''Grave, where is thy victory?'' |
6049 | And before I go further, what might I yet say to fasten this reason upon the truly gracious soul? |
6049 | And by what is this righteousness by thee applied to thyself? |
6049 | And can a holy and just God require that we give thanks to him in his name, if it was not effectually done for us by him? |
6049 | And can death, or sin, or the grave hold us, when God saith,''Give up?'' |
6049 | And can it be imagined that Christ alone shall be like the foolish ostrich, hardened against his young, yea, against his members? |
6049 | And can you prove it by the scripture? |
6049 | And canst thou tell me who saves thee? |
6049 | And consequently how could he lift up his face unto God? |
6049 | And could you at any time, with ease, get off the guilt of sin,[275] when, by any of these ways, it came upon you? |
6049 | And did ever God send an ordinance to be a pest and plague to his people?'' |
6049 | And did he do it before he had need to do it? |
6049 | And did he do thus indeed? |
6049 | And did he license any one, and if so, who, to alter, add to, or diminish from it? |
6049 | And did he not behave himself valiantly? |
6049 | And did none of these things discourage you? |
6049 | And did the Father reveal His Son to you? |
6049 | And did the old man give him money to set up with? |
6049 | And did they make them welcome? |
6049 | And did you ask him what man this was, and how you must be justified by Him? |
6049 | And did you do as you were bidden? |
6049 | And did you endeavour to mend? |
6049 | And did you not then believe, and do you not still believe, that you were true members of Christ, though less perfect? |
6049 | And did you pray to God that He would bless your counsel to them? |
6049 | And did you presently fall under the power of this conviction? |
6049 | And did you think he spake true? |
6049 | And did you think yourself well then? |
6049 | And did you, said he, when I came up against this town of Mansoul, heartily wish that I might not have the victory over you? |
6049 | And didst thou fear the lake and pit? |
6049 | And do I desire to be found in Him; knowing by the Word, and feeling by the teaching of His Spirit, that I am totally lost in myself? |
6049 | And do the things that truly are divine, Before thee more than gold or rubies shine? |
6049 | And do they in thy conscience bear more sway To govern thee in faith and holiness, Than thou canst with thy heart and mouth express? |
6049 | And do you think that the words of your book are certainly true? |
6049 | And do you think the Lord will sit still, as I may say, and let thy tongue run as it lists, and yet never bring you to an account for the same? |
6049 | And dost thou count this a corrupted grain of Babylon''s treasure? |
6049 | And dost thou desire this medicine? |
6049 | And dost thou indeed say,"Hallowed be thy name"with thy heart? |
6049 | And dost thou not do the deeds of the flesh? |
6049 | And dost thou not rejoice in secret, that thou art the same that thou ever wert? |
6049 | And dost thou think that these are but threatenings, or that our King has not power to execute his words? |
6049 | And dost thou think, this is, indeed, the way to be righteous? |
6049 | And dost thou think, wast thou there now, that thou art able to wrestle with the judgment of God? |
6049 | And doth God come to the sinner, and the sinner again go to God in a saving way by him, and by him only? |
6049 | And doth all this stir up in thy heart some breathing after Him? |
6049 | And doth he not make his pots according to his pleasure? |
6049 | And doth he take charge of them as a Creator? |
6049 | And doth immodest apparel, with stretched- out necks, naked breasts, a made speech, and mincing gaits,& c., argue mortification of lusts? |
6049 | And doth it not also make thee more earnestly to groan after the Lord Jesus? |
6049 | And doth not the Lord as well require the sign of baptism now, as of circumcision then? |
6049 | And doth this demonstrate the reformation of your church? |
6049 | And doth this look like a visible church- state? |
6049 | And fools hate knowledge?'' |
6049 | And for the opening of this we must consider, first, How and through Whom this grace doth come to be, first, free to us, and, secondly, unchangeable? |
6049 | And from sense and reason they will have ground to think so; for who now is left in the world any more to make head against them? |
6049 | And from the sense and feeling of torment, he would give, yea, what would he not give, in exchange for his soul? |
6049 | And further, said he, can not one man teach another to pray? |
6049 | And gain, how came it thither, how got the soul possession of it, while it was unjustified? |
6049 | And good reason; for since they would not with us come to him now they have time, why should they stand with us when judgment is come? |
6049 | And have these desires put thy soul to the flight? |
6049 | And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" |
6049 | And he said, I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
6049 | And he said, how long Would it have been, e''er you had understood This thing, had you not with my heifer plow''d? |
6049 | And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding- garment?'' |
6049 | And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? |
6049 | And here those sayings are of their own natural force:''How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?'' |
6049 | And his name not be but of a common regard on that day? |
6049 | And how are they to consider of themselves, even then when they first are apprehensive of their need of this righteousness? |
6049 | And how bitterly did David mourn for his son, who died in his wickedness? |
6049 | And how can a man that went last time out of his closet to be naught, have the face to come thither again? |
6049 | And how can that be, if he saveth not to the uttermost them that come unto God by him? |
6049 | And how cold is the love of many at this day? |
6049 | And how could the people believe and embrace it? |
6049 | And how could we have seen it to purpose, had not God left some to themselves? |
6049 | And how did he carry it there? |
6049 | And how did his good wife take it, when she saw that he had no amendment, but that he returned with the dog to his vomit, to his old courses again? |
6049 | And how did you do then? |
6049 | And how do they deceive souls? |
6049 | And how doth God the Holy Ghost save thee? |
6049 | And how else could they obey that command that bids them rejoice in tribulation, and glorify God in the fires? |
6049 | And how hath Christ lightened every man if not within him?" |
6049 | And how if I should not? |
6049 | And how if thou shouldst come but one quarter of an hour too late? |
6049 | And how is this resented by them? |
6049 | And how kindly did our Lord Jesus take it, to see the little children run tripping before him, and crying, Hosannah to the Son of David? |
6049 | And how little conscience is there made of prayer between God and the soul in secret, unless the Spirit of supplication be there to help? |
6049 | And how many did Samson slay with the jaw- bone of an ass? |
6049 | And how must it be reckoned to them? |
6049 | And how say you? |
6049 | And how sayest thou now? |
6049 | And how sayest thou, for to name no more, dost thou with thy affection and conscience thus question? |
6049 | And how sayest thou? |
6049 | And how sayest thou? |
6049 | And how seldom do they trouble their heads, to have their minds taken up with thoughts of the better? |
6049 | And how then? |
6049 | And how then? |
6049 | And how was He revealed unto you? |
6049 | And how were they served that are mentioned in the 13th of Luke,''for staying till the door was shut?'' |
6049 | And how, then, can he come to him by Christ? |
6049 | And if God''s will should be done on earth as it is in heaven, must it not be thy ruin? |
6049 | And if Satan meets thee, and asketh, Whither goest thou? |
6049 | And if he breaks up one of these bags, who can tell what he can do? |
6049 | And if he goes about to do this, is not the law of the land against him? |
6049 | And if he hath said it, will he not make it good, I mean even thy salvation? |
6049 | And if he knows not the Father and the Son, how can he come? |
6049 | And if he saith, See, ye"blind that have eyes,"who shall hinder it? |
6049 | And if it be a blessing to have this fear, is it not wisdom to increase in it? |
6049 | And if it be asked, But what will become of the threatening wherewith he threatened the offender? |
6049 | And if not to think of him, while at a distance, how can you endure to be in his presence? |
6049 | And if our sun seems angry, hides his face, Shall it go down, shall night possess this place? |
6049 | And if so, Whether they might not obtain at least, some little of the mercy, as well as those women? |
6049 | And if so, did he give His church any other than that most beautiful and comprehensive form called the Lord''s Prayer? |
6049 | And if so, how can their service to God have anything like acceptation from the hand of God, that is done, not in, but without the fear of God? |
6049 | And if so, what follows? |
6049 | And if so, what shall we then think of the soul for which is prepared, and that of God, the most rich and excellent vessel in the world? |
6049 | And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" |
6049 | And if there is so much in the pride of his countenance, what is there, think you, in the pride of his heart? |
6049 | And if these be acts that speak a condescension, what will you count of Christ''s standing up as an Advocate to plead the cause of his people? |
6049 | And if they are mute when dealt with by vessels of clay, what will they do when they shall be rebuked by the flames of a devouring fire? |
6049 | And if they shall not escape that neglect, then how shall they escape that reject and turn their back upon''so great a salvation?'' |
6049 | And if this gentle check will not do, then read the other, Shall we say, Let us do evil that good may come? |
6049 | And if thou dost, thou wilt run into the bosom of Christ and of God, and then what harm will that do thee? |
6049 | And if thou shouldest be so now, what hast thou gained thereby? |
6049 | And if we know not every one of all these things to the full, how shall we know to the full the love of Christ which saveth us from them all? |
6049 | And if ye be followers of that which is good, who will harm you( 1 Peter 3:13)? |
6049 | And if you ask, How is it possible that this should be done? |
6049 | And if your brethren only you salute, What more than they do ye? |
6049 | And if, as unto Solomon, God should Propound to thee, What wouldst thou have? |
6049 | And in that he saith''There remains a rest,''referring to that of David, what is it, if it signifies not, that the other rests remain not? |
6049 | And in the land of peace thou trustedst, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?'' |
6049 | And indeed so he does with"Adam, where art thou?" |
6049 | And indeed what joy or what rejoicing is like rejoicing here? |
6049 | And indeed, take this away, and what ground can there be laid for any man to persevere in good works? |
6049 | And indeed, the soul that doth thus by practice, though with his mouth-- as who doth not? |
6049 | And into what church did Philip baptize the eunuch, or the apostle the jailor and his house? |
6049 | And is all this no good? |
6049 | And is hope, that this day is approaching, a reviving cordial to thee? |
6049 | And is it not reason that they who did this horrid villany, should have their doings laid before their faces upon the tables of their heart? |
6049 | And is it possible it should be forgotten, or that, by it, our joy, light, and heaven should not be made the sweeter to all eternity? |
6049 | And is it thus with thy soul indeed? |
6049 | And is not Boaz, with whose maids thou wast, One of the nearest kinsmen that thou hast? |
6049 | And is not his will the only rule of his mercy? |
6049 | And is not this a needy time; doth not such an one want abundance of grace? |
6049 | And is not this love worthy of all acceptation at the hands and hearts of all coming sinners? |
6049 | And is not this the very ground of thy hoping that God will save thee from the wrath to come? |
6049 | And is not this, said he, a shame? |
6049 | And is that all? |
6049 | And is that all? |
6049 | And is that within the creature, or without, that worketh the new birth?" |
6049 | And is there no other way to the Father but by his blood, and through the veil, that is to say, his flesh? |
6049 | And is there not a great deal in it? |
6049 | And is there not all the reason in the world for this? |
6049 | And is there toward us love in Christ that passeth knowledge? |
6049 | And is this all? |
6049 | And is this to keep the first table; yea, the first branch of that table, which saith,"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God?" |
6049 | And it was so indeed, thought Mr. Badman; was my troubles only the effects of my distemper, and because ill vapours got up into my brain? |
6049 | And let me ask further, is not he a madman who, being loaded with combustible matter, will run headlong into the fire upon a bravado? |
6049 | And look, did not I tell you? |
6049 | And may he not, without he give offence to thee, lay hold by electing love and mercy on whom himself pleaseth? |
6049 | And must baptism be such a rock of offence to professors, that very few will enquire after it, or submit to it? |
6049 | And must those that shall live to see those days, rejoice when these things begin to come to pass? |
6049 | And must we be all alone? |
6049 | And must you needs be upon the extremes? |
6049 | And now I add, Is not this to deliver them to the devil( 1 Cor 5), or to put them to shame before all that see your acts? |
6049 | And now I ask what kind of christian correspondency you have with them? |
6049 | And now I ask, What was the reason that God continued his presence with this church notwithstanding this transgression? |
6049 | And now had he had a heart to do for Mansoul, what could he do for it or wherein could he be profitable to her? |
6049 | And now having said this much, wherein have I derogated from the glory and holiness of Christ? |
6049 | And now is it not to be wondered at, and are we not to be affected herewith, saying, And wilt thou set thine eye upon such an one? |
6049 | And now what would a man give in exchange for his soul? |
6049 | And now, Adam, what do you mean to do? |
6049 | And now, behold, when Jacob had been told That there was corn in Egypt to be sold, He said unto his sons, Why stand ye thus? |
6049 | And now, what can this accuser say? |
6049 | And now, when body and soul are thus united, who can imagine what glory they both possess? |
6049 | And now,''what shall a man,''what would a man, but what can a man that has lost his soul, himself, and his all,''give in exchange for his soul?'' |
6049 | And observe, it is not said, that Noah shut the door, but the Lord shut him in: If God shuts in or out, who can alter it? |
6049 | And of what nation? |
6049 | And on the other hand, how often has the disjointing of the body, and the breakings thereof, occasioned the expiration of the spirit? |
6049 | And p. 26. where in answer to this question of mine; Why did the Man Christ hang on the cross on Mount Calvary? |
6049 | And said, moreover, that they could not wait upon me any longer; but said to me, Then you confess the indictment, do you not? |
6049 | And sayest thou so, my dear? |
6049 | And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him?" |
6049 | And shall not I? |
6049 | And shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive be delivered? |
6049 | And shall we not imitate our Lord, nor the church that was immediately acted[21] by him in this, and the churches their fellows? |
6049 | And shall we not take that notice thereof as to follow the Lord Jesus and the churches herein? |
6049 | And she said, Come, James, canst thou tell me who made thee? |
6049 | And she''shall be glad for them''; for what? |
6049 | And since he can be both merciful and just in the salvation of sinners, why may he not also save them from death and hell? |
6049 | And so I may say, What think you of ten thousand more besides? |
6049 | And so doing, has it not also accommodated thee with all the aforenamed conveniences? |
6049 | And so with Paul, who tremblingly said,''Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?'' |
6049 | And suppose they were the truly godly that made the first assault, can they be blamed? |
6049 | And that if they had light therein, they would as willingly do it as you? |
6049 | And that is according to the whole stream of scripture: For by one offering, What was that? |
6049 | And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? |
6049 | And the ministers of the gospel they also cry, Lord,"who hath believed our report? |
6049 | And the reason is, because he that envieth a sinner, hath forgotten himself, that he is as bad; and how can he then fear God? |
6049 | And the reasons are weighty, for by them he proves the tree is not good; how then can it yield good fruit? |
6049 | And the same I say of his Advocate''s office- What is an advocate without the exercise of his office? |
6049 | And the scorners delight in their scorning? |
6049 | And then he answers himself:''Is not destruction to the wicked, and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?'' |
6049 | And then what doth he get thereby but loss and damage? |
6049 | And then, I pray you, what is left unto God, and what can he call his own? |
6049 | And then, to engage us in our soul to the duty, he adds one of his wonderful mercies to the world, for a motive,"Fear ye not me?" |
6049 | And then,& c. And why was not this done on the seventh day sabbath? |
6049 | And then,''what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?'' |
6049 | And they knew it: Why, did they not know it before? |
6049 | And this is one ground( at least) why he hanged on the cross,& c. Ha Friend? |
6049 | And this is that which Peter intends when he saith,"And if ye be followers of that which is good, who will harm you?" |
6049 | And this leads me first to inquire into what, by these words the apostle must, of necessity, presuppose? |
6049 | And thou liar, what wilt thou do? |
6049 | And thus much doth this man Christ Jesus testify unto us where he saith he shall glorify me; mark,"He shall glorify;"( saith the Son of Mary)but how? |
6049 | And to distressed Jonah, said the Lord, Dost thou well to be angry for the gourd? |
6049 | And to put a question upon thy objection- What is a sacrifice without a priest, and what is a priest without a sacrifice? |
6049 | And was not there a time when you did not so well understand the nature and extent of pride and covetousness as now you do? |
6049 | And was that all? |
6049 | And was there not in all these things love, and love that was infinite? |
6049 | And was this all? |
6049 | And were they all served so? |
6049 | And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? |
6049 | And what angels but those that ministered to him here in the day of his humiliation? |
6049 | And what can Satan say against this plea? |
6049 | And what can our pretended giants do or say in comparison of these? |
6049 | And what can such an one say for himself in the judgment, that shall be charged with the abuse of love? |
6049 | And what canst thou earn a day? |
6049 | And what chains are so heavy as those that discourage thee? |
6049 | And what company shall we have there? |
6049 | And what concord hath Christ with Belial? |
6049 | And what concord hath Christ with Belial? |
6049 | And what day so fit as the Lord''s day for this? |
6049 | And what did Badman do after his wife was dead? |
6049 | And what did they say else? |
6049 | And what did you do then? |
6049 | And what did you do then? |
6049 | And what did you reply? |
6049 | And what did you reply? |
6049 | And what did you reply? |
6049 | And what did you reply? |
6049 | And what did you say to him? |
6049 | And what else? |
6049 | And what else? |
6049 | And what else? |
6049 | And what encouragement has a man to suffer for Christ, whose heart can not believe, and whose soul he can not commit to God to keep it? |
6049 | And what follows? |
6049 | And what follows? |
6049 | And what follows? |
6049 | And what good will my vanities do, when death says he will have no nay? |
6049 | And what harm will that do thee? |
6049 | And what hath he received of thy hand? |
6049 | And what honour like that of being a holy man of God? |
6049 | And what if God will cross his book, and blot out the handwriting that is against thee, and not let thee know it as yet? |
6049 | And what if thou waitest upon God all thy days? |
6049 | And what if you should not? |
6049 | And what is it that makes you so desirous to go to Mount Zion? |
6049 | And what is this second veil, in, at, or through which, as the phrase is, we must, by blood, enter into the holiest? |
6049 | And what life, but death in its perfection? |
6049 | And what matter can be found in the soul for humility to work by so well, as by a sight that I have been and am an abominable sinner? |
6049 | And what more fearful than the bottomless pit of hell? |
6049 | And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous, as all this law,''said Moses, which I set before you this day?'' |
6049 | And what need of an Advocate''s office to be exercised, if Christ, as sacrifice and Priest, was thought sufficient by God? |
6049 | And what need was there of any of this, if Paul could, as he would, have departed from iniquity? |
6049 | And what revenge hast thou in thy heart against every thought of disobedience? |
6049 | And what said Faithful to you then? |
6049 | And what said he then? |
6049 | And what said he then? |
6049 | And what said the neighbours to him? |
6049 | And what saith the words before the text but the same--''For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?'' |
6049 | And what saw you else in the way? |
6049 | And what sayest thou to thy perverting, knowingly, the right purport and intent of the law? |
6049 | And what says the Apostle? |
6049 | And what shall he do now, that is a stranger to this breadth, made mention of in the text? |
6049 | And what shall he do when he comes? |
6049 | And what shall this man do? |
6049 | And what should a man come to God for, that can live in the world without him? |
6049 | And what sympathy and feeling would his arguments flow from? |
6049 | And what than fire? |
6049 | And what the son of my vows? |
6049 | And what then? |
6049 | And what then? |
6049 | And what then? |
6049 | And what then? |
6049 | And what then? |
6049 | And what then? |
6049 | And what then? |
6049 | And what then? |
6049 | And what then? |
6049 | And what then? |
6049 | And what thunder did Zaccheus hear or see? |
6049 | And what use doth he make of this? |
6049 | And what was that? |
6049 | And what was the conclusion? |
6049 | And what was the other thing? |
6049 | And what was the reason you did not? |
6049 | And what will become of them concerning whom the Lord has said already,''I will not take up their names into my lips''? |
6049 | And what will become of them that trample under foot this Son of God? |
6049 | And what will become of them that trample under foot this Son of God?'' |
6049 | And what will not love suffer? |
6049 | And what will you do whose hearts go after your covetousness? |
6049 | And what, did you despair, or how? |
6049 | And what, did you despair, or how? |

6049 | And what, did you despair, or how? |
6049 | And when a Christian comes to know this, should Christ as Advocate be hid, what could bear him up? |
6049 | And when a man is down, you know, what can he do? |
6049 | And when did the Spirit of Christ convince thee of sin, because thou didst not believe in him? |
6049 | And when did we see thee an hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? |
6049 | And when the hand of the rulers are chief in a trespass, who can keep their people from being drowned in that trespass? |
6049 | And when they had found him, they wonderingly asked him,"Rabbi, when camest thou hither?" |
6049 | And when unto her mother- in- law she came, Art thou, said she, my daughter come again? |
6049 | And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?" |
6049 | And where hast thou been working? |
6049 | And where is it, within or without?" |
6049 | And where is the man that chooseth to go to hell? |
6049 | And where is this man, that was born of the virgin, that we may come to the Father by him? |
6049 | And where it is most, how far short of perfect acts is it? |
6049 | And where that practical holiness that formerly used to be seen in the houses, lives and conversations of professors? |
6049 | And where wilt thou leave thy glory? |
6049 | And whereabout does he dwell? |
6049 | And whereas thou askest, is not he a deceiver, that exhorts people to anything else than the light of Christ? |
6049 | And whereas thou asketh, whether the fault be then in God, or in that thou callest his light, or in the creature? |
6049 | And whereas you ask me, Whither away? |
6049 | And whereas you ask me,"What is that which worketh faith? |
6049 | And whereas you ask me,"do they that are born of God commit sin?" |
6049 | And whereas you ask, What is the sight of God? |
6049 | And wherefore doth he thus, but to beget an expectation in them of their salvation and deliverance? |
6049 | And whether doth he that is born of God commit sin? |
6049 | And whether it be lawful for them so to do?" |
6049 | And whether it be not lawful for them so to do? |
6049 | And who can abide the fierceness of his anger? |
6049 | And who can be thankful for a mercy that is not sensible that they want it, have it, and have it of mercy? |
6049 | And who can contradict him? |
6049 | And who can now object against the deliverance of the child of God? |
6049 | And who can say, my heart is clean? |
6049 | And who can think that he should be quiet, when men take the right course to escape his hellish snares? |
6049 | And who could have found in their hearts to shut the door upon such an one? |
6049 | And who could have thought, that the other had been a good man? |
6049 | And who dares to limit the Almighty? |
6049 | And who then shall dare to blame this our age consumed; or say that our years be cut off? |
6049 | And who was that but Jesus Christ, even the person speaking in the text? |
6049 | And who was that, but he that"spoiled principalities and powers,"when he did hang upon the tree, triumphing over them thereon? |
6049 | And who will dare to make any addition to holy writ? |
6049 | And who with him again but they? |
6049 | And who with them but Mr. Badman? |
6049 | And whose be the sheep that feed upon them? |
6049 | And whose portrait is Bunyan describing here? |
6049 | And whose word shall stand? |
6049 | And why a door of hope, but that by it, God''s people, when afflicted, should go out by it from despair by hope? |
6049 | And why are the women commanded silence there, if they may congregate by themselves, and set up and manage worship there? |
6049 | And why can they not as well keep the other sabbaths? |
6049 | And why candlesticks, if they were not to hold the candles? |
6049 | And why did you not bring them along with you? |
6049 | And why do the scriptures say,"that through this man is preached to us the forgiveness of sins?" |
6049 | And why do they with pride trick up the body, if it be not to provoke both themselves and others to lusts? |
6049 | And why dost thou take notice of the mote That''s in thy brother''s eye; but dost not note The beam that''s in thine own? |
6049 | And why doth he not concern himself with them? |
6049 | And why follow the apish fashions of the world? |
6049 | And why for raiment are ye taking thought? |
6049 | And why is it thee? |
6049 | And why is the breaking of the heart compared to the breaking of the bones? |
6049 | And why may not I give it the name of a shew; when you call it a symbol, and compare it to a gentleman''s livery? |
6049 | And why might they not be a type of gospel sermons? |
6049 | And why not now, as well as formerly? |
6049 | And why shall he that doth most for God in this world, enjoy most of him in that which is to come? |
6049 | And why should a man cumber himself with what is his, when the good of all that is in Christ is laid, and to be laid out for him? |
6049 | And why should a man so carelessly cast away himself, by giving heed to a stranger? |
6049 | And why should it not be accounted to him for righteousness? |
6049 | And why should not credence be given to that gospel that is confirmed by blood, the blood of the Son of God himself? |
6049 | And why should not the kings have it granted unto them, that she should fall by their hand? |
6049 | And why should we not have the benefit of the righteousness, while we are ungodly, since it was completed for us while we were yet ungodly? |
6049 | And why so? |
6049 | And why so? |
6049 | And why so? |
6049 | And why so? |
6049 | And why then should not we have also in reserve for Christ? |
6049 | And why thus consider, but that a door might be opened for hope to exercise itself upon God by this? |
6049 | And why, but because God himself maintains the enmity? |
6049 | And why, to show, by these, the exceeding riches of his grace to the ages to come, through Christ Jesus? |
6049 | And why? |
6049 | And why? |
6049 | And why? |
6049 | And why? |
6049 | And will he be a favourable no more? |
6049 | And will not this, when they know it, yield them comfort? |
6049 | And will their agreement of hell yield them comfort? |
6049 | And will you, says Unbelief, in such a case as you now are, presume to come to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | And wilt thou hang back or be sullen, because thou art none of the first? |
6049 | And wilt thou judge him that doth thus? |
6049 | And wilt thou not regard? |
6049 | And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?'' |
6049 | And wilt thou say these are things that are not? |
6049 | And with his works he perfected his faith? |
6049 | And with that she plucked out her letter,[28] and read it, and said to them, What now will ye say to this? |
6049 | And without this, what is to be seen in the church of God? |
6049 | And would I, as was said before, be thoroughly saved, to wit, from the filth as from the guilt? |
6049 | And would it not be an insufferable thing? |
6049 | And would you be doing this? |
6049 | And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?'' |
6049 | And yet darest thou say to God, Our Father? |
6049 | And yet dost thou out of thy blasphemous throat suffer these words to come, even our Father? |
6049 | And yet who so idle as they in the time of their prosperity? |
6049 | And you are sure he was of this opinion? |
6049 | And you that were sometime alienated, and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled[ but how?] |
6049 | And you ungodly children, how are your ungodly parents that lived and died ungodly, now in the pains of hell also? |
6049 | And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled,"how? |
6049 | And"who hath required this at your hand?" |
6049 | And''the thunder of his power who can understand?'' |
6049 | And''what and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?'' |
6049 | And''will ye weary my God also?'' |
6049 | And, By what means have you so persevered therein? |
6049 | And, Fourth, what it was for him to be raised unto Israel? |
6049 | And, How got you into the way? |
6049 | And, Sir, you, as all our neighbours know, are a very observing man, pray, therefore, what do you think of them? |
6049 | And, Use First, Is there such breadth, and length, and depth, and height in God, for us? |
6049 | And, What he did in the world? |
6049 | And, are there no public Christians, or public christian meetings, but them of your way? |
6049 | And, in reason, how could it be otherwise? |
6049 | And, indeed, if people once say to God, by way of doubt,''Wherein hast thou loved us?'' |
6049 | And, listening still, she thought she heard another answer it, saying-- For why? |
6049 | And, moreover, my brother, thou talkest of ease in the grave; but hast thou forgotten the hell, whither for certain the murderers go? |
6049 | And, said Christiana to Mr. Great- heart, Sir, will you do as we? |
6049 | And, therefore, what need have they that one should be sent unto them in another way? |
6049 | And, whether there was a secret or mystery in this work containing the truth of some higher thing? |
6049 | And,"O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever?" |
6049 | And,"who shall separate us from the love of Christ"our Lord? |
6049 | And,''Will ye rebel against the king?'' |
6049 | Answer, friend, dost thou put no difference betwixt the speaking of Christ without, and believing in Christ without? |
6049 | Any thing but truth; but I would know how sincerely righteous they were that were justified without works? |
6049 | Are God''s people a suffering people? |
6049 | Are all the elect, the seed, the saved, the vessels of mercy, the chosen and peculiar? |
6049 | Are great saints only to have the kingdom, and the glory everlasting? |
6049 | Are great works only to be rewarded? |
6049 | Are her plagues pleasant or easy to be borne? |
6049 | Are his feet shod with the Gospel of peace? |
6049 | Are his loins girt about with truth? |
6049 | Are his ministers slothful in tendering this unto you? |
6049 | Are his saints precious to them? |
6049 | Are my prayers lost? |
6049 | Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
6049 | Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
6049 | Are not even ye,"saith Paul,"in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
6049 | Are not my words verbatim these? |
6049 | Are not some, yea the most, the children of the flesh, the rest, the lost, the vessels of wrath, of dishonour, and the children of perdition? |
6049 | Are not the seven churches in Asia called by name of candlesticks? |
6049 | Are not these therefore strong desires? |
6049 | Are not these things rather a sign that the utter overthrow of the church of God is at the door? |
6049 | Are not they part of the scriptures of truth? |
6049 | Are not you commanded to keep out of the church all that are not circumcised? |
6049 | Are not, now- a- days, the bulk of professors like those that''strain at a gnat and swallow a camel?'' |
6049 | Are our fruits meet for repentance? |
6049 | Are the narratives of these mighty tempests in his spirit plain matters of fact? |
6049 | Are the words of God called by the name of the fear of the Lord? |
6049 | Are there any sins now that will fly upon this Saviour like so many lions, or raging devils, if He take in hand to redeem man? |
6049 | Are there bowels in you that are wicked, and will they be wrought upon by an importuning beggar? |
6049 | Are there yet any more sons in my womb, That may your husbands be in time to come? |
6049 | Are these the tokens of a blessed man?" |
6049 | Are these"spirits of just men made perfect"-the angel- ministering spirits which are sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? |
6049 | Are they enemies to Thee? |
6049 | Are they lawful things which thou desirest? |
6049 | Are they not all of equal authority? |
6049 | Are they not death without, and unbelief within? |
6049 | Are they purified, are they clean that name the name of Christ? |
6049 | Are they so dreadful in their receipt and sentence? |
6049 | Are they such things as thou takest pleasure in? |
6049 | Are they tender of sinning against Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Are they that are justified by Christ''s blood such as have need yet to be saved by his intercession? |

6049 | Are they things Divine, or things natural? |
6049 | Are they things heavenly, or things earthly? |
6049 | Are they things holy, or things unholy? |
6049 | Are they to be the audible mouth there, before all, to God? |
6049 | Are they to think, that they are righteous or sinners? |
6049 | Are things thus ordered? |
6049 | Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ such as do still stand in need of being saved by his intercession? |
6049 | Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ yet such as have need of being saved by his intercession? |
6049 | Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ, such as do still stand in need of being saved by his intercession? |
6049 | Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such as, after that, have need of being saved by Christ''s intercession? |
6049 | Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such as, after that, have need to be saved by Christ''s intercession? |
6049 | Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such, after that, as have need also of saving by Christ''s intercession? |
6049 | Are thy sins so dear, so sweet, so desireable, so profitable to thee, that thou wilt venture a burning in hell fire for them till thou art burnt out? |
6049 | Are we for war? |
6049 | Are we now almost got past the Enchanted Ground? |
6049 | Are we profanely apt to judge of God harshly, as of one that would gather where he had not strawn? |
6049 | Are we stronger than he?'' |
6049 | Are we tempted to distrust God? |
6049 | Are we truly convinced of sin, and converted to Christ? |
6049 | Are ye not CARNAL, CARNAL, CARNAL? |
6049 | Are ye so foolish? |
6049 | Are you a married man? |
6049 | Are you a married man? |
6049 | Are you at that door, my brother? |
6049 | Are you brought out of the dark dungeon of this world into Christ? |
6049 | Are you come out of it? |
6049 | Are you commanded to reject them; If yea, where is it? |

6049 | Are you in affliction for your profession? |
6049 | Are you not sensible that such a one As I, can certainly thereof make trial? |
6049 | Are you not sorry for what you have done? |
6049 | Are you so hasty? |
6049 | Are you stronger than he that made the heavens, and that holdeth angels in everlasting chains? |
6049 | Art become freakish? |
6049 | Art bound for hell against all wind and weather? |
6049 | Art bound for hell, against all wind and weather? |
6049 | Art like to him, that needs must step a mile At every stride, or think it not worth while To follow Christ? |
6049 | Art not able to conclude, that to be saved is better than to burn in hell? |
6049 | Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now? |
6049 | Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now? |
6049 | Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now? |

6049 | Art thou a fool in thyself? |
6049 | Art thou a professor? |
6049 | Art thou a seller, and do things grow dear? |
6049 | Art thou a sinner of the first rate, of the biggest size? |
6049 | Art thou almost like Elymas the sorcerer, that sought to turn the deputy from the faith? |
6049 | Art thou also willing that he should decide the matter? |
6049 | Art thou begotten of God by his Word? |
6049 | Art thou born again? |
6049 | Art thou born again? |
6049 | Art thou born again? |
6049 | Art thou born again? |
6049 | Art thou born again? |
6049 | Art thou born again? |
6049 | Art thou born again? |
6049 | Art thou come to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Art thou coming to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Art thou coming, indeed? |
6049 | Art thou coming? |
6049 | Art thou coming? |
6049 | Art thou coming? |
6049 | Art thou convinced that she is nothing more? |

6049 | Art thou not a graceless wretch? |
6049 | Art thou not come to discourse the Lord in prayer? |
6049 | Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep, that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?" |
6049 | Art thou not like to fare well, when thou hast embraced him, coming sinner? |

6049 | Art thou resolved to follow me? |
6049 | Art thou resolved to strip? |
6049 | Art thou returning to God? |
6049 | Art thou righteous in the judgment of God? |
6049 | Art thou righteous? |
6049 | Art thou righteous? |
6049 | Art thou such an one? |
6049 | Art thou taken? |
6049 | Art thou that readest these lines such an one? |
6049 | Art thou then made to see thy condition how bad it is, and that the way out of it is by Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Art thou therefore discharged and unladen of these things? |

6049 | Art thy sins of diverse sorts? |
6049 | Art weary? |
6049 | Art[ thou] resolved to follow me? |
6049 | As David said,"Shall I lift up mine yes to the hills? |
6049 | As God said to Coniah,''Did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him? |
6049 | As HE said,''If God be for us, who can be against us?'' |
6049 | As Moses said, and that long before the law was given,"Sirs, ye are brethren, why do ye wrong one another?" |
6049 | As Paul saith, What communion hath light with darkness? |
6049 | As for example; Would a parishioner learn to be proud? |
6049 | As for instance at home; could not some of those called Baptists die in opposing infant baptism? |
6049 | As he saith again, Am I not an apostle? |
6049 | As if he had said, Do you profess Christianity? |
6049 | As if he should say, what need have they that one should be sent to them from the dead? |
6049 | As many as walk according to this rule: What rule? |
6049 | As soon as ever God had touched the jailer, he cries out,''Men and brethren, what must I do to be saved?'' |
6049 | As the mad prophet also saith of God, in another case,''Hath he said, and shall he not do it? |
6049 | As the sabbath of months, of years, and the jubilee? |
6049 | As to the query, What reason is there, why the Lord should suffer any of his ordinances to be lost? |
6049 | As to the second head, what need is there that the righteousness of Christ should be imputed, where men are righteous first? |
6049 | As to the things of God, what shall I say? |
6049 | As touching the beauty and goodness that was in the object unto which they were allured; What was it? |
6049 | As who should say, My brethren, are you aware what you do? |
6049 | As who should say, My brethren, are you tempted, are you accused, have you sinned, has Satan prevailed against you? |
6049 | As who should say, What would heaven yield to me for delights, if I was there without my God? |
6049 | As who should say, Wherefore do I deny myself of those mercies and privileges that the men of this world enjoy? |
6049 | As yet despise you the offers of peace, and deliverance? |
6049 | As yet will ye refuse the golden offers of Shaddai, and trust to the lies and falsehoods of Diabolus? |
6049 | As"Ely said to Hannah, How long wilt thou be drunken? |
6049 | As, how many good men and good women do unawares, through their uncircumspectness, drive their own children down into the deep? |
6049 | As, whether there were in truth a God or Christ, or no? |
6049 | As, who should say, My brethren, are you troubled and persecuted for your faith? |
6049 | Ask him where this God is? |
6049 | Ask the awakened man, or the man that is under the convictions of the law, if he doth not feel? |
6049 | Ask the carnal man to whom he prays? |
6049 | Ask the rich man spoken of in the ensuing treatise, who was the fool-- he or Lazarus? |
6049 | Ask thy heart, What evil dost thou see in sin? |
6049 | At another time, I remember I was again much under the question, Whether the blood of Christ was sufficient to save my soul? |
6049 | At last the visitor comes and sets his soul at ease, by persuading of him that he belongs to God: and what then? |
6049 | At last there came a grave person to the gate, named Good- will, who asked who was there? |
6049 | At that Pliable began to be offended, and angrily said to his fellow, Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of? |
6049 | At the Lord''s table, I do eat; what though? |
6049 | At this( as I said) you object, and say,''Did I ever find baptism a pest or plague to churches? |
6049 | At which I was as if I had been raised out of a grave, and cried out again, Lord, how couldest thou find out such a word as this? |
6049 | Ay, but says the soul,''How can I reckon thus, when sin is yet strong in me?'' |
6049 | Ay, but when didst thou see thyself a lost creature for want of faith in the son of Mary? |
6049 | Ay, but when? |
6049 | Ay, that is well for you, Paul; but what advantage have we thereby? |
6049 | Aye, but Lord, what wilt thou do to quench their thirst? |
6049 | Aye, but this is a high pitch, how should we come by such princely spirits? |
6049 | Aye, saith he, to whom is that spoken? |
6049 | Aye, wherefore indeed? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou consider? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear what a striving there is between the vine- dresser and the husbandman, for thy life? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, fruitless Christian, do not thine ears tingle? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, fruitless professor, hast thou heard all these things? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, hast thou heard all these things? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, hast thou subscribed, hast thou called thyself by the name of Jacob, and surnamed thyself by the name of Israel? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, what fruit hast thou? |
6049 | Barren fig- tree, what sayest thou? |
6049 | Barren professor, dost thou hear? |
6049 | Be patient then, my brethren; but how long? |
6049 | Be ruled by me, and go back; who knows whither such a brain- sick fellow will lead you? |
6049 | Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
6049 | Because Christ died for me, shall I therefore spit in his face? |
6049 | Because the neglect of the law will be sure to damn them; therefore wouldst thou put poor souls to follow that which will not save them? |
6049 | Because then it had been in vain for the Lord to have given the scriptures to teach men out of, either concerning himself or themselves: Why? |
6049 | Because''the children are partakers of flesh and blood; he also himself likewise took part of the same''; To what end? |
6049 | Beelzebub? |
6049 | Behold, I was left alone, these, where had they been?'' |
6049 | Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? |
6049 | Behold, the angels cover their faces when they speak of his glory, how then shall not Satan bend before him? |
6049 | Being justified freely by his grace: How? |
6049 | Believe, that is true; but how now must he conceive in his mind of Christ for the encouraging of him so to do? |
6049 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
6049 | Believing what? |
6049 | Besides, if men be made righteous, they are so; and if by a righteousness which the law commendeth, how can fault be found with them by the law? |
6049 | Besides, if the promise and God''s grace, without Christ''s blood, would have saved us, wherefore then did Christ die? |
6049 | Besides, if this be granted, why had not God respect to Cain''s offering, as well as to Abel''s? |
6049 | Besides, oppression makes a wise man mad; and when a man is mad what evils will he not do? |
6049 | Besides, the great things that he desired, were to be delivered from going to hell, and who would, willingly? |
6049 | Besides, the proposition is universal, why then should you be the chief intended? |
6049 | Besides, the threatening being pressed with an''How shall we escape?'' |
6049 | Besides, to assert the contrary, what doth it but lessen sin, and make the advocateship of Jesus Christ superfluous? |
6049 | Besides, to what particular church was the epistle to the Hebrews wrote? |
6049 | Besides, was the gospel so freely, so frequently, so fully tendered to thee, and yet hast thou rejected all these things? |
6049 | Besides, what arguments so prevailing as such as are purely gospel? |
6049 | Besides, who knows of all the ways by which the Almighty will inflict His just revenges upon the souls of damned sinners? |
6049 | Blessed are they that do make peace; for why? |
6049 | Bold sinner, how darest thou tempt God, by laughing at the breach of his holy law? |
6049 | Both those of Peter, and the first of John? |
6049 | Brethren what profit is''t if a man saith That he hath faith, and hath not works; can faith Save him? |
6049 | Brother, said Christian, what shall we do? |
6049 | Bunyan, speaking of private prayer, keenly inquires, will God not hear thee"except thou comest before him with some eloquent oration?" |
6049 | But Abraham''s body is now dead? |
6049 | But David answered,"What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? |
6049 | But I am afraid the day of grace is past; and if it should be so, what should I do then? |
6049 | But I ask such, if the Father and Son be not unspeakably free to show mercy, why was this clause put into our commission to preach the gospel? |
6049 | But I ask, how came nature to be so weak, but through sin? |
6049 | But I can not pray, says one, therefore how should I persevere? |
6049 | But I fear I am lost and cast away, Sentence is past, and who reverse it may? |
6049 | But I have let myself to another, even to the King of princes; and how can I, with fairness, go back with thee? |
6049 | But I know you have made strong objections against him; prithee, what can he say for himself? |
6049 | But I say doth not this sufficiently show, had we but eyes to see it, what a sad and deplorable creature the child of God of himself is? |
6049 | But I say, if it be so, what need all this mercy? |
6049 | But I say, suppose it should be granted, is it because reprobation made him incapable, or sin? |
6049 | But I say, what can the church do more to the sinners or open profane? |
6049 | But I say, what is this to him that would fain be saved by Christ? |
6049 | But I say, where is thy love to thine enemy? |
6049 | But I say, wherein is the proposition offensive? |
6049 | But I say, who can tell, who can tell altogether, what and how much the Father delighted in his Son before the world began? |
6049 | But I say, who understandeth this? |
6049 | But I say, why all these, thus named? |
6049 | But I say, why did John call them vipers? |
6049 | But I would ask these men,''If the word of God came out from them? |
6049 | But I, poor I, how shall I get thither? |
6049 | But Jesus, our Advocate, answers as David, What have I to do with thee, O Satan? |
6049 | But Mr. Bunyan replied: Sin doth distinguish a man from a beast; is sin therefore the gift of God? |
6049 | But Naomi replied, Wherefore will ye, My daughters, thus resolve to go with me? |
6049 | But Nathanael answered him,"Whence knowest thou me?" |
6049 | But Paul, what moved thee thus to do? |
6049 | But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared"--what then? |
6049 | But again, Why should you be so angry with my brother, for joining of a sinner and a liar together? |
6049 | But again; what mystery is desirable to be known that is not to be found in Jesus Christ, as Priest, Prophet, or King of saints? |
6049 | But alas, what thief, what tyrant, what devil is there that may not conquer after this sort? |
6049 | But all along Christ compareth his love to ours; now, why doth he so, if they be so much alike? |
6049 | But all these will fail you; for what think you? |
6049 | But all this while, where''s he whose golden rays Drives night away and beautifies our days? |
6049 | But am I daunted? |
6049 | But am I so? |
6049 | But are not good works the righteousness of faith? |
6049 | But are the other righteousnesses of no use to us? |
6049 | But are there no dissuasive arguments to lay before such, to prevent their future misery? |
6049 | But are these words of faith? |
6049 | But are they the people on whom God doth magnify the riches of his grace? |
6049 | But are you out of that wilderness mentioned? |
6049 | But are you sure it is the same that we look for? |
6049 | But are you willing, said he, to stand to the judgment of the church? |
6049 | But art thou blind? |
6049 | But art thou sure thou canst? |
6049 | But as Adam fell with us in him, so did he not by faith rise with us in him? |
6049 | But as to the intercession of Christ, who can come in to help upon the account of such innocency or worth? |
6049 | But as to the matter in hand, What positive precept do they transgress that will not reject him that God bids us receive, if he want light in baptism? |
6049 | But ask him how, or under what notion he is to be considered there? |
6049 | But at the end of all this promised pardon for a million of years-- what then? |
6049 | But be the candles down, and scattered too, Some lying here, some there? |
6049 | But by what rule then would you gather persons into church communion? |
6049 | But by what rule would you receive them into fellowship with yourselves? |
6049 | But by what spirit is it then that I am brought again into fears, even into the fears of damnation, and so into bondage? |
6049 | But can any imagine that Christ will pray for them as Priest for whom he will not plead as Advocate? |
6049 | But can not the church, and every woman in it, build up themselves without their woman''s meetings? |
6049 | But can women no other way be built up in their most holy faith, but by meetings of their own without their men? |
6049 | But can you commit your soul to their ministry, and join with them in prayer; and yet not count them meet for other gospel privileges? |
6049 | But can you imagine how the people of the corporation were taken with this entertainment? |
6049 | But canst thou not now repent and turn? |
6049 | But could he not deliver him, or did the Lord forsake him? |
6049 | But could not we have been saved if Christ had not died? |
6049 | But could that heal it, could he not taste, truly taste, or rightly relish this forgiveness? |
6049 | But could the house of Lebanon, though a fortified place, assault Damascus? |
6049 | But could they persuade any to be of their opinion? |
6049 | But did He indeed suffer the torments of Hell? |
6049 | But did he prevail against him? |
6049 | But did none of them follow you, to persuade you to go back? |
6049 | But did not Mr. Badman marry again quickly? |
6049 | But did not the neighbours take notice of this alteration that Mr. Badman had made? |
6049 | But did they take from him all that ever he had? |
6049 | But did this man rise again from the dead, that very man, with that very body wherewith he was crucified? |
6049 | But did this young Badman accustom himself to such filthy kind of language? |
6049 | But did you never give an occasion to men to call you by this name? |
6049 | But did you not come by the house of the Interpreter? |
6049 | But did you not fear it before? |
6049 | But did you not see the house that stood there on the top of the hill, on the side of which Moses met you? |
6049 | But did you not, with your vain life, damp all that you by words used by way of persuasion to bring them away with you? |
6049 | But did you take his counsel? |
6049 | But did you tell them of your own sorrow, and fear of destruction? |
6049 | But did you, said he, when you were at a stand, pluck out and read your note? |
6049 | But do kings use to die for captive slaves? |
6049 | But do kings use to die for captive slaves? |
6049 | But do not bad masters condemn themselves in condemning the badness of their servants? |
6049 | But do not the scriptures make mention of a Christ within? |
6049 | But do these people know what they do? |
6049 | But do they believe that thus it is with them? |
6049 | But do you speak seriously, and in good earnest? |
6049 | But do you think Mr. Badman would have been so base? |
6049 | But do you think it is because of the first? |
6049 | But do you think that the men that do thus, do think that they do so vilely, so abominably? |
6049 | But do you think that these people did ever feel the power and majesty of the Word of God to break their hearts? |
6049 | But do you think that this outcry was caused by unbelief? |
6049 | But do you think these men saw the strength of the Jews now? |
6049 | But do you think this is certain? |
6049 | But does the carnal world covet this, this spirit, and the blessed graces of it? |
6049 | But dost thou plead by thy righteousness, for mercy for thyself? |
6049 | But doth not a man bring forth fruit unto God, that walketh orderly according to the ten commandments? |
6049 | But doth not the Scripture say,"Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life"? |
6049 | But doth not their thus living, abiding, and retaining a being(or what you will call it), demonstrate the greatness and might of the soul? |
6049 | But doth that install it in that place and dignity, that was never intended for it? |
6049 | But doth that promise suppose a willingness in us, as a condition of God''s making us willing? |
6049 | But doth the blind Pharisee think his state is such? |
6049 | But doth the guilt and burden of sin so keep them down that they can by no means lift up themselves? |
6049 | But doth this bloody city spill this blood by herself simply, as she is the adulterated whore? |
6049 | But farther, thou sayest; Is it not the whole mystery of salvation, God manifested in the flesh? |
6049 | But first, do you know which of the Badmans I mean? |
6049 | But for all this, how thick, and by heaps, do these wretches walk up and down our streets? |
6049 | But for all this, how thick, and by heaps, do these wretches walk up and down our streets? |
6049 | But for what cause? |
6049 | But for what purpose? |
6049 | But further: Do we not all agree, that men that preach the gospel should do it like workmen that need not be ashamed? |
6049 | But good Sir, are you now for unwritten verities? |
6049 | But good Sir, why so short- winded? |
6049 | But had one not need to walk with a guard, and to have a sentinel stand at one''s door for this? |
6049 | But had the maid no friend to look after her? |
6049 | But hath he no better thoughts of his own good deeds, which are by the law? |
6049 | But hath not the law promises as well as threatenings? |
6049 | But have you no other way to discover the things of the Gospel, how they are done with a legal principle, but those you have already made mention of? |
6049 | But have you yet any other considerations to move us to fear God with child- like fear? |
6049 | But he answereth, What, mean ye to weep, and to break my heart? |
6049 | But he said, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? |
6049 | But his father would, as you intimate, sometimes rebuke him for his wickedness; pray how would he carry it then? |
6049 | But hold, dost thou do it with the Publican''s heart, sense, dread and simplicity? |
6049 | But hold, stay; wherefore? |
6049 | But how and if I should delight in them before I am aware? |
6049 | But how are they distinguished from the Gentiles? |
6049 | But how are we by this man forgiven this? |
6049 | But how are we justified by this man''s obedience? |
6049 | But how are your neighbours for quietness? |
6049 | But how came Diotrephes so lately into our parts? |
6049 | But how came he by that repentance? |
6049 | But how came he to be a"new creature,"since none can create but God? |
6049 | But how came he to be affected with this? |
6049 | But how came he to bring his soul into so good a temper? |
6049 | But how came the apostle by this confidence of his well- being and of his share in another world? |
6049 | But how came they clean? |
6049 | But how came they thus patiently to endure? |
6049 | But how came they to hear it? |
6049 | But how came this to be so? |
6049 | But how camest thou in this condition? |
6049 | But how can God respect a man, before he respect his offering? |
6049 | But how can a man be sorry for it, that has neither sight nor sense of it? |
6049 | But how can that be, did they not come to us through the very sides of mercy? |
6049 | But how can that be, since no affliction for the present seems joyous? |
6049 | But how can that be, where the heart is not sanctified and made holy? |
6049 | But how can this be done by him? |
6049 | But how can you tell you have faith? |
6049 | But how comes it to pass that thou art so hearty, that thou settest thy face against so much wind and weather? |
6049 | But how comes this to be a SIGN of the approach of the ruin of Antichrist? |
6049 | But how could God have respect to Abel, if Abel was not pleasing in his sight? |
6049 | But how could a holy God say,''Live,''to such a sinful people? |
6049 | But how could be either the one or the other, if the seventh day sabbath was taught to men by the light of nature, which is the moral law? |
6049 | But how could he be naked, when before he had made himself an apron? |
6049 | But how could he be naked, when before he had made himself an apron? |
6049 | But how could he so quickly run out, for I perceive it was in little time, by what you say? |
6049 | But how did he undertake them? |
6049 | But how did it happen that you came out of your country this way? |
6049 | But how did they make that out? |
6049 | But how did they tempt him? |
6049 | But how do they deliver them? |
6049 | But how do you think to get in at the gate? |
6049 | But how dost thou know that thou shalt continue therein? |
6049 | But how dost thou prove that? |
6049 | But how doth God kill with this law, or covenant? |
6049 | But how doth God the Father save thee? |
6049 | But how doth he take that away but by a severe chastising of his soul for it, until he has made him weary of it? |
6049 | But how doth it happen that you come so late? |
6049 | But how doth that appear? |
6049 | But how doth the soul carry it towards God, when He offereth to deal with it under and by this dispensation of grace? |
6049 | But how if I should have sinned the sin unpardonable, or that called the sin against the Holy Ghost? |
6049 | But how if this path should lead us out of the way? |
6049 | But how if we do? |
6049 | But how indifferent? |
6049 | But how is it that they are there? |
6049 | But how is it that you came alone? |
6049 | But how is the Lord righteous? |
6049 | But how is this resented? |
6049 | But how is this similitude pertinent? |
6049 | But how little of this is found among men? |
6049 | But how long ago? |
6049 | But how long, prophet, wilt thou wait? |
6049 | But how much more may we behold the love that God hath bestowed upon us, in that he hath given us to his Son, and also given his Son for us? |
6049 | But how much more now? |
6049 | But how much more then when he comes To grapple with thy heart; To bind with thread thy toes and thumbs,[4] And fetch thee in his cart? |
6049 | But how must he do that? |
6049 | But how must he take away the curse? |
6049 | But how must that be done? |
6049 | But how must this be done, but as we take them off with the snuffers, and put them in these snuff- dishes? |
6049 | But how must this be done? |
6049 | But how must this be? |
6049 | But how now must this fool be made wise? |
6049 | But how shall Christ by this rod, sword, or spirit of his mouth, consume this wicked, this mystery of iniquity? |
6049 | But how shall I be ascertained that I also shall be entertained? |
6049 | But how shall I bring it to pass? |
6049 | But how shall I come hither? |
6049 | But how shall I know that I am born again? |
6049 | But how shall kings do it? |
6049 | But how shall they escape all those dangerous and damnable opinions, that, like rocks and quicksands, are in the way in which they are going? |
6049 | But how shall we do to see some of them? |
6049 | But how shall we know that such men are coming to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | But how shall we know when this time is come? |
6049 | But how should I do? |
6049 | But how should I know whether Christ do so knock at my heart as to be desirous to come in? |
6049 | But how should I prove[ or try] the goodness of mine own righteousness by the death and blood of Christ? |
6049 | But how should I serve God? |
6049 | But how should a poor soul do to run? |
6049 | But how should this rule in our hearts? |
6049 | But how should we find out what sinners shall be saved? |
6049 | But how should we know it, said he? |
6049 | But how should we try our graces now? |
6049 | But how then doth it say, that the knowledge of God is manifested in them? |
6049 | But how then is he clear from having a hand in the death of him that perisheth? |
6049 | But how then is what he doth accepted of God? |
6049 | But how then must Jesus Christ, first save us from the filth? |
6049 | But how then must they see him? |
6049 | But how was Jesus Christ made of God to be sin for us? |
6049 | But how were they that had got the victory? |
6049 | But how will he do that? |
6049 | But how will he make her naked? |
6049 | But how will this man die? |
6049 | But how will you prove that there was a church, a rightly constituted church, at Rome, besides that in Aquila''s house? |
6049 | But how, if Sarah be barren? |
6049 | But how, if Sarah be past age? |
6049 | But how, if the day of grace should now be past and gone? |
6049 | But how, if they have exceeded many in sin, and so made themselves far more abominable? |
6049 | But how, if they have not faith and repentance? |
6049 | But how, if they want those things, those graces, power, and heart, without which they can not come? |
6049 | But how, if when I come at him he should ask me, Where I have all this while been? |
6049 | But how, if whilst thou lookest for it to come to thee at one door, it should come to thee in at another? |
6049 | But how, or why doth the leaf, or the fig fall from the tree? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But how? |
6049 | But if God deals thus with a man, how can he otherwise think but that he is a reprobate, a graceless, Christless, and faithless one? |
6049 | But if He parts with His righteousness to us, what will He have for Himself? |
6049 | But if I fly, some will blame me: what must I do now? |
6049 | But if a false faith is so forcible, what is a true? |
6049 | But if faith doth so naturally cause good works, what then is the reason that God''s people find it so hard a matter to be fruitful in good works? |
6049 | But if he had done as you have supposed, what had he done worse than what he hath done already? |
6049 | But if indeed the first day of the week be the new christian sabbath, why is there no more spoken of its institution in the testament of Christ? |
6049 | But if it be changed, then how can it be the same? |
6049 | But if they should not, ask them yet again If formerly they did not entertain One CHRISTIAN, a Pilgrim? |
6049 | But if this be the sin unpardonable, why is it called the sin against the Holy Ghost, and not rather the sin against the Son of God? |
6049 | But if thou art not come, what can make thee happy? |
6049 | But if thy God thou wilt not hearken to, What can the swallow, ant, or spider do? |
6049 | But if we do not use forms of prayer, how shall we teach our children to pray? |
6049 | But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?'' |
6049 | But is it asked how are we to see that that is invisible, or to imagine bliss that is past our understanding? |
6049 | But is it not a good heart that hath good thoughts? |
6049 | But is it not a shame for a man to defile himself with that vice which he rebuketh in another? |
6049 | But is it not a wonder they got not from him his certificate, by which he was to receive his admittance at the Celestial Gate? |
6049 | But is it possible that He should so soon give infinite justice a satisfaction, a complete satisfaction? |
6049 | But is not Christ the gate or entrance into this heavenly place? |
6049 | But is not the door of mercy shut against some before they die? |
6049 | But is not the reward that God hath promised to his saints, for their good works to be enjoyed only here? |
6049 | But is not this a shame for them that are such? |
6049 | But is not this a sign of madness, of madness unto perfection? |
6049 | But is not this great grace, that we should thus be called upon to come to God for mercy? |
6049 | But is not this the way to make Christ to loath us? |
6049 | But is there a member who dares to violate them? |
6049 | But is there any comfort in being hanged with company? |
6049 | But is there yet another reason why this holy duty should, in special as it is, be commanded to be performed on the first day of the week? |
6049 | But is there, therefore, no need at all of good works, because a man is justified before God without them? |
6049 | But is this a sign of the approach of the ruin of Antichrist? |
6049 | But is this all the wit thou hast? |
6049 | But is this the common custom of princes? |
6049 | But it may be asked, When was this done to Christ, or what sacrifice of consecration had he precedent to the offering up of himself for our sins? |
6049 | But let us return again to Mr. Badman; had he any children by his wife? |
6049 | But may it not come again as a spirit of bondage, to put me into my first fears for my good? |
6049 | But may my sin be forgiven? |
6049 | But may one not be equally engaged for both? |
6049 | But may we not fly in a time of persecution? |
6049 | But met you with no opposition before you set out of doors? |
6049 | But might not Christ die for our sins but he needs must bear their guilt or burden? |
6049 | But might not God have kept Adam from inclining, if he would? |
6049 | But might they not be healed by humbling themselves? |
6049 | But must their obstinacy rule? |
6049 | But must this wall, I say, consist chiefly in outward glory, in the glory of earthly things? |
6049 | But my husband is an unbeliever; what shall I do? |
6049 | But never let such a wicked thought pass through thy heart, saying,"This evil is of the Lord; what should I wait for the Lord any longer?" |
6049 | But now I would inquire: Had Israel done the commandment, if they had eaten the passover raw, or boiled in water? |
6049 | But now how doth God lose it? |
6049 | But now if other men should do as this man, how many universal churches should we have? |
6049 | But now, how shall this man be reclaimed from this sin? |
6049 | But now, what thing is that which is greater than his body, save the altar, his Divinity on which it was offered? |
6049 | But now, when didst thou feel the power of this first part of the Scripture, the law, so mighty as to strike thee dead? |
6049 | But now, wouldst thou honour thy King? |
6049 | But of what? |
6049 | But one sin that layeth the soul without the reach of God''s mercy; and must I be guilty of that? |
6049 | But perhaps some may ask me, WHAT INIQUITY THEY MUST DEPART FROM THAT RELIGIOUSLY NAME THE NAME OF CHRIST? |
6049 | But perhaps some may say, What need was there that Jesus Christ should do all this? |
6049 | But perhaps thy heart is so hard, and thy mind so united to the pleasing of thy vile affections, that thou wilt say,''What care I for my servant? |
6049 | But pray how can you tell that he did not care for the company of such? |
6049 | But pray tell me, Did you meet nobody in the Valley of Humility? |
6049 | But pray, Sir, what other sign have you by which you can prove that Mr. Badman died in his sins, and so in a state of damnation? |
6049 | But pray, Sir, where was it that Christian and Faithful met Talkative? |
6049 | But put the case I had failed herein, Doth this warrant your unlawful practice? |
6049 | But said, Hold; not so many, which is the first? |
6049 | But saith the open profane, why can not we be reckoned saints also? |
6049 | But say you,"Did he put and end to the law for them who still live in transgression?" |
6049 | But say you,''We have now found an advocate for sin against God, in the breach of one of HIS holy commands?'' |
6049 | But say you,''Wherein lies the force of this man''s argument against baptism as to its place, worth, and continuance?'' |
6049 | But say you,''Who taught you to divide betwixt Christ and his precepts, that you word it at such a rate? |
6049 | But sayest thou, I will be righteous in myself that I may have wherewith to commend me to God, when I go to him for mercy? |
6049 | But says one, Would you have us singular? |
6049 | But secondly, I pray where was Christ when he spake those words? |
6049 | But shall Christ take our cause in hand, and shall we doubt of good success? |
6049 | But shall I be daunted at this? |
6049 | But shall I speak the truth for you? |
6049 | But shall Manasseh come off thus? |
6049 | But shall he not lose his body before he come again? |
6049 | But shall such ever come to glory? |
6049 | But shall the will of heaven stoop to the will of hell? |
6049 | But shall they be my God, or shall I have Of them so foul and impious a thought, To think that from the curse they can me save? |
6049 | But shall this ever be said of Christ? |
6049 | But shall we be sure of it? |
6049 | But should I grant that which is indeed impossible-- namely, that thou art justified by the law; what then? |
6049 | But show me something out of the Word against it, will you? |
6049 | But since I have lusts and desires both ways, how shall I know to which my soul adheres? |
6049 | But since I was sealed to the day of redemption, I have grievously sinned against God, have not I, therefore, cause to fear, as before? |
6049 | But since he can do so, why doth he suffer this, and that thing to appear, to act, and do so horribly repugnant to his word? |
6049 | But some love not the method of your first; Romance they count it, throw''t away as dust, If I should meet with such, what should I say? |
6049 | But some may say, How will they seek to enter in? |
6049 | But some may say, What is the meaning of this word able? |
6049 | But some may say, Wherein doth the saving grace of the Spirit appear? |
6049 | But some may say, what need of the righteousness of one that is naturally God? |
6049 | But still the question is, Whether God by this his determination doth not lay a necessity on the creature to sin? |
6049 | But still when a fresh dish was set before them, they would whisperingly say to each other, What is it? |
6049 | But still, I say, the question is, How comest thou to know that thou art righteous in the judgment of God? |
6049 | But suppose that at his return he should find his own cattle in that pound, would he now carry it toward them as he did unto the other? |
6049 | But suppose they were all baptized, because they had light therein, what then? |
6049 | But suppose this great person should second his suit, and send to this sorry creature again, what would she say now? |
6049 | But surely I may begin this time enough, a year or two hence, may I not? |
6049 | But the most of men do that which you forbid, and why may not we? |
6049 | But the question is now, how we should attain to, and live in, the exercise of this blessed and comely grace? |
6049 | But the third thing touched in the question was this-- What may such an one receive of God who is under the curse of the law? |
6049 | But then I turn the tables, and say, But where shall I be shortly? |
6049 | But then how as a Lamb is he in the midst of the throne? |
6049 | But then, sayest thou, how shall I escape? |

6049 | But you may ask, How did God deal with sinners before this righteousness was actually in being? |
6049 | But you may ask, what is that righteousness, with which a Christian is made righteous before he doth righteousness? |
6049 | But you may say, How shall I know that I fear God? |
6049 | But you may say, What is it to exercise this grace aright? |
6049 | But you may say, how can you prove that conscience is not of the same nature, of the Spirit of Christ? |

6049 | But you will say, What, will not the Lord have mercy on ignorant souls? |
6049 | But you will say, Who shall stand when he appears? |
6049 | But you will say, doth not the scripture say, that it is the Spirit of Christ that doth make manifest or convince of sin? |
6049 | But you will say, might they not be deceived? |
6049 | But you will say, upon what then was the threatening and the command to punish grounded? |
6049 | But you will say, what lies are those, that the devil beguileth poor souls withal? |

6049 | But, Harry, said I, why do you swear and curse thus? |
6049 | But, I pray, what, and how many, were the things wherein you differed? |
6049 | But, I pray, will you tell me why you ask me such questions? |
6049 | But, I say, how can these Scriptures be fulfilled, if he that would indeed be saved, as before said, has sinned the sin unpardonable? |
6049 | But, I say, how will they fail? |
6049 | But, I say, if he knows him not, how can he propound him as the end? |
6049 | But, I say, if the sight of heaven, at so vast a distance, is so excellent a prospect, what will it look like when one is in it? |
6049 | But, I say, if thou do it graciously, then a reward followeth;"For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? |
6049 | But, I say, was this fear, that is called now the fear of God, anything else, but a dread of the greatness of power of the king? |
6049 | But, I say, what is all this to them that have him not for their Advocate? |
6049 | But, I say, what is man without this soul, or wherein lieth this pre- eminence over a beast? |
6049 | But, I say, what is the reason some so prize what others so despise, since they both stand in need of the same grace and mercy of God in Christ? |
6049 | But, I say, what is this to them that are not admitted to a privilege in the advocate- office of Christ? |
6049 | But, I say, why is it repeated? |
6049 | But, I say, why offended at this? |
6049 | But, I say, why so unconcerned? |
6049 | But, I say,''Would they not change places? |
6049 | But, Lord, give an instance; when was it, or where? |

6049 | But, Sir, Are none but those of your way the public Christians? |
6049 | But, Sir, said she, what is this pill good for else? |
6049 | But, Sir, said the old gentleman, how could you guess that I am such a man, since I came from such a place? |
6049 | But, Sir, since you are not peremptory in your proof; how came you to be so absolute in your practice? |
6049 | But, Sir, was not this it that made my good Christian''s burden fall from off his shoulder, and that made him give three leaps for joy? |
6049 | But, Sir, who have I pleaded for, in the denial of any one ordinance of God? |
6049 | But, USE FOURTH.--Is it so? |
6049 | But, What, What hast thou done by thy righteousness? |
6049 | But, alas, I am blind, and can not see; what shall I do now? |
6049 | But, alas, I have nothing to carry with me; how then should I go? |
6049 | But, as Paul says of himself, and of those that were saved by grace in his day,"What then? |
6049 | But, brave soul, pray tell me what the things are that discourage thee, and that weaken thy strength in the way? |
6049 | But, but few comparatively will be concerned with this use; for where is he that doth this? |
6049 | But, do the broken in spirit believe this? |
6049 | But, good neighbour Wiseman, be pleased to tell me who this man was, and why you conclude him so miserable in his death? |
6049 | But, may some say, what good will it do a man to know that the love of Christ passeth knowledge? |
6049 | But, mother, what is it like? |
6049 | But, my good companion, do you know the way to this desired place? |
6049 | But, pray Sir, while it is fresh in my mind, do you hear anything of his wife and children? |
6049 | But, pray, what said my Lord to my rudeness? |
6049 | But, pray, why do you ask me this question? |
6049 | But, said Christian, are there no turnings nor windings, by which a stranger may lose his way? |
6049 | But, said Christian, will your practice stand a trial at law? |
6049 | But, said he, how shall we know that you have received a gift? |
6049 | But, said he, what if you should forbear awhile, and sit still, till you see further how things will go? |
6049 | But, said he, who shall be judge between you, for you take the Scriptures one way, and they another? |
6049 | But, saith Justice Keelin, who was the judge in that court? |
6049 | But, saith the Christian, I am dull and stupid that way, will not Christ be shuff13 and shy with me because of this? |
6049 | But, saith the soul, how, if after I have received a pardon, I should commit treason again? |
6049 | But, says Justice Keelin, what have you against the Common Prayer Book? |
6049 | But, says Moses,"Who is a God like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?" |

6049 | But, you will say, What needs all this ado, and why is all this time and pains spent in speaking to this that is surely believed already? |
6049 | But, you will say, can a man use Gospel ordinances with a legal spirit? |
6049 | But, you will say, it is like, How should this be made manifest and appear? |
6049 | By his being able to judge by nature, that there is such a thing as sin; as Christ saith,"Why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?" |
6049 | By rest here, must needs be understood those not elect, because set one in opposition to the other; and if not elect, what then but reprobate? |
6049 | By way of question; what are the things thou desirest, are they lawful or unlawful? |

6049 | Have we the Spirit, or the fruits thereof? |
6049 | Have we the faith of this? |
6049 | Have ye not read Of Job, how patiently he suffered? |
6049 | Have ye not seen in him what was God''s end; How he doth pity and great love extend? |
6049 | Have you any more things to ask me about my beginning to come on pilgrimage? |
6049 | Have you commended your apprehensions soberly and submissively to those you call Independents and Presbyters? |
6049 | Have you felt the alarm in your soul under a sense of sin and judgment? |
6049 | Have you forgot the close, the milk house, the stable, the barn, and the like, where God did visit your soul? |

6049 | Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now? |
6049 | Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now? |
6049 | Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now? |
6049 | Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now? |
6049 | Having these to look to, what should stagger our faith, or deject our hope? |
6049 | He also expects this at our hands, saying,"Who will rise up for me against the evil doers? |
6049 | He answered me in a great chafe, What would the devil do for company, if it were not for such as I am?'' |
6049 | He asked again if they had aught to say for themselves, why the sentence that they confessed that they had deserved should not be passed upon them? |
6049 | He asked me if I had a family? |
6049 | He asked me why? |
6049 | He asked them, Why? |
6049 | He begins with this question, Whether women fearing God may meet to pray together, and whether it be lawful for them so to do? |
6049 | He can not strut, vapour, and swagger as thou dost? |
6049 | He erreth in A CIRCUMSTANCE, thou errest in A SUBSTANCE; who must bear these errors? |
6049 | He feared God; and what then? |
6049 | He forsakes him--''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'' |
6049 | He hath given us his Son,"How shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" |
6049 | He hath this Abishai, and that Abishai, that presently steps in against him, saying, Shall not this rebel''s sins destroy him in hell? |
6049 | He imagined that he could bear these small afflictions with patience; but''a wounded spirit who can bear?'' |
6049 | He is indeed the great deliverer; but what is a deliverer to them that never saw themselves in bondage, as was said before? |
6049 | He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? |
6049 | He is not ashamed of us, though now in heaven; why should we be ashamed of him before this adulterous and sinful generation? |
6049 | He is thy Creator; is it not seemly for creatures to fear and reverence their Creator? |
6049 | He is thy Father; is it not seemly for children to reverence and fear their Father? |
6049 | He is thy King; is it not seemly for subjects to fear and reverence their King? |
6049 | He is unwearied in his pleading for us; why should we faint and be dismayed while we plead for him? |
6049 | He knocked, therefore, more than once or twice, saying--"May I now enter here? |
6049 | He loved to live high, but his hands refused to labour; and what else can the end of such an one be but that which the wise man saith? |
6049 | He never said to him,''Why hast thou done so?'' |
6049 | He pleads for us before the holy angels; why should not we plead for him before princes? |
6049 | He pleads for us to save our souls; why should not we plead for him to sanctify his name? |
6049 | He pleads for us, against fallen angels; why should we not plead for him against sinful vanities? |
6049 | He pleads for us, though our cause is bad; why should not we plead for him, since his cause is good? |
6049 | He ran away, you say, but whither did he run? |
6049 | He ran to him, he kneeled down to him, and asked, and that before a multitude,''Good master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?'' |
6049 | He said that I was ignorant, and did not understand the Scriptures; for how, said he, can you understand them when you know not the original Greek? |
6049 | He said unto me, By what scripture? |
6049 | He said, How then? |
6049 | He said, which of the Scriptures do you understand literally? |
6049 | He saith himself, they that come to him,& c., shall find rest unto their souls; hast thou found rest in him for thy soul? |
6049 | He saith not as the hypocrite,"Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me"( Jer 2:35); or"What have we spoken so much against thee?" |
6049 | He sanctified us with his blood; but why should the Father have thanks for this? |
6049 | He shall take of mine; What is that? |
6049 | He that feareth not to be burned in the fire, how will he fear the heat of weather? |
6049 | He that hath by faith received the spirit of holiness, shall not he be holy? |
6049 | He that hath his word shall then speak it faithfully, for''what is the chaff to the wheat? |
6049 | He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? |
6049 | He that is ungodly, hath a want of righteousness, even of the inward righteousness of works: but what must become of him? |
6049 | He that opened stepped out after him, and said, Thou trembling one, what wantest thou? |
6049 | He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? |
6049 | He that was in darkness, or he that was in light? |
6049 | He that was in everlasting joy, or he that was in everlasting torments? |
6049 | He that was in hell, or he that was in heaven? |
6049 | He was God, a Creator, then; and is he not God now? |
6049 | He was to offer it, and how? |
6049 | He was wroth: and why? |
6049 | He was, and was his Son, before he was revealed--''What is his name, and what is his Son''s name, if thou canst tell?'' |
6049 | He will receive perfection, immortality, heaven, and glory; and what is folded up in these things, who can tell? |
6049 | He will reckon them up so fast, and so fully, that thou wilt cry, Lord, when did I do this? |
6049 | He, in whose heart the Holy Spirit has raised the solemn inquiry, What must I do to be saved?'' |
6049 | Hear, did I say? |
6049 | Heartily spoken; but how did he perform his promise? |
6049 | Hence David said again,''Whom have I in heaven but thee?'' |
6049 | Hence David, when he speaks of heaven, says,''Whom have I in heaven but thee?'' |
6049 | Hence he saith,''Is Christ divided,''or separate from his servants? |
6049 | Hence it follows that Christ will be ashamed of some; but why not ashamed of others? |
6049 | Hence see what it is to grieve the Spirit of God: for He only is the Comforter: and if He withdraws His influences, who or what can comfort us? |
6049 | Hence such a time is rightly said to be a time to try us, or to find out what we are, and is there no good in this? |
6049 | Her plagues are death, and mourning, and famine, and fire( Rev 18:8); are these things to be overlooked? |
6049 | Her things are slain, and stink already, by the weapons that are made mention of before; what then will her carcase do? |
6049 | Here is no consideration of what capacity the people might be of, that were to be persecuted; but what matters what they are? |
6049 | Here is nought but open war, acts of hostility, and shameful rebellion, on the sinner''s side; and what delight can God take in that? |
6049 | Here now is a man an hungered, what must he feed upon? |
6049 | His cause; what is his cause? |
6049 | His fee- who shall pay him his fee? |
6049 | His song was this: The Lord is only my support, And he that doth me feed; How can I then want anything Whereof I stand in need? |
6049 | His, or the Pharisee''s? |
6049 | Hold, saith the apostle; stay a little here; first remember this, Is it meet to say unto God, What doest thou? |
6049 | Honest asked his landlord, if there were any store of good people in the town? |
6049 | Honest asked, why it was said that the Saviour is said to come''out of a dry ground''; and also, that''He had no form or comeliness in him?'' |
6049 | Honest( when they were all sat down) asked Mr. Contrite, and the rest, in what posture their town was at present? |
6049 | Honest, interrupting of him, said, Did you see the two men asleep in the arbour? |
6049 | House and land, trades and honours, places and preferments, what are they to salvation? |
6049 | How are all things out of order? |

6049 | How came that to pass? |
6049 | How came they by their faith? |
6049 | How came they white? |
6049 | How came you to think at first of so doing as you do now? |
6049 | How camest thou by the burden at first? |
6049 | How camest thou to see thy need of this righteousness? |
6049 | How can I judge amiss, when I judge as I feel? |
6049 | How can I then be accepted by a holy and sin- abhorring God? |
6049 | How can a sense of thy own baseness, of the vileness of thy heart, and of the holiness of God, stand with such a carriage? |
6049 | How can he be a victor over himself that is led up and down by the nose by his own passions? |
6049 | How can he know so much as the extent of the love of Christ in common? |
6049 | How can he that carrieth himself basely in the sight of men, think he yet well behaveth himself in the sight of God? |
6049 | How can it possibly be? |
6049 | How can such poor women as we hold out in a way so full of troubles as this way is, without a friend and defender? |
6049 | How can that man say, I love God, who from his very heart shrinketh from trusting in him? |
6049 | How can they have any to Godward that are enemies to him in their minds by wicked works? |
6049 | How can they pray or make conscience of the duty that fear not God? |
6049 | How can those that are accustomed to do evil, do that which is commanded in this particular? |
6049 | How can we judge of a preacher''s good will, but by''peace on his lips?'' |
6049 | How canst thou find in thy heart to set thyself against grace, against such grace as offereth mercy to thee? |
6049 | How could he join in their thanks, and praises, and blessings of him for ever and ever, in whose favour, mercy, and grace, they are not concerned? |
6049 | How did Abraham groan for Ishmael? |
6049 | How did he break it? |

6049 | I a m under the force of it, and this is my continual cry, What shall I render to the Lord for all the benefits which he has bestowed upon me? |
6049 | I also ask, in what charger our gospel passover is now dressed up and set before the people? |
6049 | I am Joseph your own brother; And doth my father live? |
6049 | I am baptiz''d, what then? |
6049 | I am not of the number of them that say,"What profit should we have if we pray unto God?" |
6049 | I am sorry that I was so foolish, and am made to wonder that I am not now as Lot''s wife; for wherein was the difference betwixt her sin and mine? |
6049 | I am the basest of creatures, I could even spew at myself? |
6049 | I answer, Art thou sensible that thou hast an action commenced against thee in that high court of justice that is above? |
6049 | I answer, Hast thou well considered the nature of the crime wherewith thou standest charged at the bar of God? |
6049 | I answer, though I have not asserted it, yet let me ask, which is more odious, hell or sin? |
6049 | I ask again, wherein dost thou think the blessedness of heaven consists? |
6049 | I ask thee how it looks, and how thou likest it, suppose there were no guilt or punishment to attend thy love to, or commission of it? |
6049 | I ask, Hast thou entertained him so to be? |
6049 | I ask, What should it do there before, or to what purpose is it there, if it be not acted? |
6049 | I ask, Why has the world such hold of thee? |
6049 | I ask, and wherefore then served the wood by which the sacrifices were burned? |
6049 | I ask, did he tell you so? |
6049 | I ask, then, if there were ever anything that had a being antecedent to, or before God? |
6049 | I asked her if she was sick? |
6049 | I asked him further, how that man''s righteousness could be of that efficacy to justify another before God? |
6049 | I asked him wherein? |
6049 | I believe so; but pray tell me, did any of her other children hearken to her words, so as to be bettered in their souls thereby? |
6049 | I believe that Christ will save me; what hurt is this to my neighbour? |
6049 | I come now to the second thing into which we are to inquire, and that is, WHAT ARE THE DESIRES OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN? |
6049 | I come now to the third question, namely, But why should we strive? |
6049 | I deem I have half a guess of you; your name is Old Honesty, is it not? |
6049 | I doubt I do not come as I should do? |
6049 | I have also asked those that pass by the way,"if they saw him whom my soul loveth,"and if they had anything to communicate to me? |
6049 | I have given Him my faith, and sworn my allegiance to Him; how, then, can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a traitor? |
6049 | I have often been amazed in my mind at this text, for how could Jesus Christ have said such a word if he had not been able to perform it? |
6049 | I have told you, that this, though it were granted, cometh not up to the question; for we ask not,''whether they were so baptized? |
6049 | I know the wise men of this world, of whom there are many, will say as to what I now press you unto; Who can shew us any good in it? |
6049 | I love Christ because he will save me; what hurt is this to any? |
6049 | I marvel what injury the Lord Jesus hath done this man, that he should have such indifferent thoughts of coming to God by him? |
6049 | I might further add, how often have we agreed in our judgment? |
6049 | I pray let me hear your judgment of extortion, what it is, and when committed? |
6049 | I promise you this was enough to discourage; but did they make an end here? |
6049 | I query, is it possible to come up to the pattern for justification with God? |
6049 | I remember he alleged many a Scripture, but those I valued not; the Scriptures, thought I, what are they? |
6049 | I remember the question that God asked Job,"Where,"saith he,"wast thou when I laid the foundation of the earth? |
6049 | I remember what Abner said to Asahel,"Turn thee aside, from following me; wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? |
6049 | I said, Are they infallible? |
6049 | I say again, how will they strive for this? |
6049 | I say again, if our love is so slender to our own souls, can any think that it should be more full to the souls of others? |
6049 | I say again, should any so conclude hence, would not all experience prove him void of truth? |
6049 | I say again, tell me before the first blow is given, wilt thou turn? |
6049 | I say again, why is it affirmed''without shedding of blood is no remission,''if man''s good deeds can save him? |
6049 | I say how easily might he have said this, and then have popt in those two verses above quoted, and so have killed the old one? |
6049 | I say, Art thou a Pharisee? |
6049 | I say, Art thou sensible of this? |
6049 | I say, How easily might they thus have objected? |
6049 | I say, What hast thou given to God thereby? |
6049 | I say, What hast thou seen in him? |
6049 | I say, Who told thee so? |
6049 | I say, dost thou see thyself in him? |
6049 | I say, dost thou this, or dost thou hunt thine own soul to destroy it? |
6049 | I say, hast thou entertained Jesus Christ for thy lawyer to plead thy cause? |
6049 | I say, he puts great difference between these, and that other sort that say, When will the Sabbath be gone, that we may be at our worldly business? |
6049 | I say, how glorious was it; and how sweet is it to you that have seen yourselves lost by nature? |
6049 | I say, if Mr. Badman was here to object thus unto you, what would be your reply? |
6049 | I say, should he say to the poor, Come to my door, ask at my door, knock at my door, and you shall find and have; would he not be counted liberal? |
6049 | I say, therefore, to thee that art thus, And why despair? |
6049 | I say, was it not worth being in the furnace and in the den to see such things as these? |
6049 | I say, what benefit have we thereby? |
6049 | I say, what excuse can they make for themselves, when they shall be asked why they did not in the day of salvation come to Christ to be saved? |
6049 | I say, what less than a river could do it? |
6049 | I say, what more fearful than to be tormented there for ever with the devil and his angels? |
6049 | I say, what will such say when they shall read that the Publican did only acknowledge his iniquity, and found grace and favour at the hand of God? |
6049 | I say, what wilt thou say to this? |
6049 | I say, where is he that hath taken his flight for salvation, because of the dread of the wrath to come? |
6049 | I say, where is the honour they should put upon them? |
6049 | I say, where, as to justification with God? |
6049 | I say, why are things thus left with us? |
6049 | I say, will thy conscience justify thee here? |
6049 | I say, wouldst thou go to heaven, because it is a place that is holy, or because it is a place remote from the pains of hell? |
6049 | I suppose they did commence much together; for else with whom should this beast make war, and how should the church escape? |
6049 | I tell you this is no easy matter; if it were, what need all those prayers, sighs, watchings? |
6049 | I then demand what precept bids you do this? |
6049 | I think I am cast off from God, says the soul; so thou thoughtest afore, says memory, but thou wast mistaken then, and why not the like again? |
6049 | I think it a high favour that they were hanged before we came hither; who knows else what they might have done to such poor women as we are? |
6049 | I use the means to be saved; and why? |
6049 | I was no sooner fixed upon this resolution, but that word dropped upon me,"Doth Job serve God for nought?" |
6049 | I went out from you full, but now I come, As it hath pleased God, quite empty home: Why then call ye me Naomi? |
6049 | I will do unto them as they have done unto Me; and what unrighteousness is in all this? |
6049 | I will for this worship Christ as he has bid me; what hurt is this to anybody? |
6049 | I wold know by what scripture you do it? |
6049 | I.--WHAT IS IT TO BE SAVED? |
6049 | II.--WHAT IS IT TO BE SAVED BY GRACE? |
6049 | III.--WHO ARE THEY THAT ARE TO BE SAVED BY GRACE? |

6049 | If God would blow upon a man, who can help it? |

6049 | If all that desire to go to heaven should come thither, verily they would make a hell of heaven; for, I say, what would they do there? |
6049 | If any say, Who''s there? |
6049 | If any say, that these things may argue pride as well as carnal lusts; well, but why are they proud? |
6049 | If grace received would do, what need for more? |
6049 | If he also shall ask me, What hath been my preferment in all the time of my absence from him? |
6049 | If he asks me, By what authority I take upon me thus to reason? |
6049 | If he asks me, How I know that the law will not lay hold of me also? |
6049 | If he asks me, Who have been my companions? |
6049 | If he hath, show us where? |
6049 | If he knows not hell, and the torments thereof, wherefore should he come? |
6049 | If he knows not himself and the badness of his condition, wherefore should he come? |
6049 | If he knows not the law, and the severity thereof, wherefore should he come? |
6049 | If he knows not the world, and the emptiness and vanity thereof, wherefore should he come? |
6049 | If he knows not what death is, wherefore should he come? |
6049 | If he was not willing, why did he promise? |

6049 | If it be good and godly, why may it not be accepted? |
6049 | If it be love for a fellow- creature to give a bit of bread, a coat, a cup of cold water, what shall we call this? |

6049 | If mercy, what mercy? |
6049 | If no, do you not dissemble? |
6049 | If not, how do they differ? |
6049 | If nothing should by us be had When we are gone from hence, But vanities, while here? |
6049 | If palaces that princes build, Which yet are made of clay, Do so amaze when much beheld, Of heaven what shall we say? |
6049 | If so, I ask, dost thou, according to the exhortation here,''Depart from iniqnity?'' |
6049 | If so, then what is that worth, or value, that is in the grace itself? |
6049 | If so, then, in the next place, what will become of them that are grown weary before they are got half way thither? |
6049 | If so, what had she to say? |
6049 | If so; why do you so much dissemble with all the world, in print; to pretend you submit to others''judgment, and yet abide to condemn their judgments? |

6049 | If the world, which God sets light by, is counted a thing of that worth with men; what is Heaven, which God commendeth? |
6049 | If there be a difference in the light, show it wherein; whether in the nature, or otherwise?" |
6049 | If there be twenty places where there are assizes kept in this land, yet if I have offended no law, what need have I of an advocate? |
6049 | If therefore all the light that is in thee Be darkness, how great must that darkness be? |
6049 | If these be worth commending then, That vainly show their might, How dare you blame those holy men That in God''s quarrel fight? |
6049 | If they ask what light? |

6049 | Must they not perish rather? |
6049 | Must thy reason, nay, thy lust, be the ruler, orderer, and disposer of his grace? |
6049 | Must we go to hell, and be damned, for want of faith in water baptism? |
6049 | Must we not fear falls? |
6049 | Must we, because of these temptations, incline to fall? |
6049 | My brethren, is it not reasonable that we should stand up for him in this world? |
6049 | My brother, said he, rememberest thou not how valiant thou hast been heretofore? |
6049 | My fifth query was,"Is that very man with that very body within you, yea, or no?" |
6049 | My hope is grounded upon the promises; what else should it be grounded upon? |
6049 | My last argument, you say, is this:''The world may wonder at your carriage to these unbaptized persons, in keeping them out of communion?'' |
6049 | My little bird, how canst thou sit And sing amidst so many thorns? |
6049 | My second query was,"What is the church of God redeemed by from the curse of law? |
6049 | My senses, how were you beguil''d When you said sin was good? |
6049 | My seventh query was,"Hath that Christ that was with God the Father before the world was, no other body but his church?" |
6049 | My sins are more than the sands, can I live? |
6049 | My soul is also sore vexed, but thou, O Lord, how long? |
6049 | My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? |
6049 | Namely, which Peter spake: This is the way in which the Spirit is given? |
6049 | Nay rather, will not this, like a millstone about thy neck, drown thee in the deeps of hell? |
6049 | Nay, God favoured His Son no more, finding our sins upon Him, than He would have favoured any of us; for, should we have died? |
6049 | Nay, are not the very thoughts of it altogether displeasing to thee? |
6049 | Nay, art thou not a desperate persecutor of the children of God? |
6049 | Nay, but why dost thou tempt the Lord thy God? |
6049 | Nay, but, said Mr. Bunyan, have you the very self- same original copies that were written by the penmen of the scriptures, prophets and apostles? |
6049 | Nay, do not even these things declare that you would take it away if you could? |
6049 | Nay, do not many make his Word, and his name, and his ways, a stalking- horse to their own worldly advantages? |
6049 | Nay, do not they rather owe him something for his labour he bestowed on them, as Philemon did to Paul? |
6049 | Nay, do they not rather declare to the world that they have repented of their profession? |
6049 | Nay, do you not see with your eyes daily, that perseverance is a very great part of the cross? |
6049 | Nay, dost thou know what original sin means? |
6049 | Nay, doth not this argue, that thy heart is a rotten, cankered, and besotted heart? |
6049 | Nay, further,"Have we not prophesied in Thy name? |
6049 | Nay, hast thou not learned the wicked ones thy ways? |
6049 | Nay, have not all the prophets from Samuel, with all those that follow after, prophesied, and foretold these things? |
6049 | Nay, in this I will assert nothing, but rather inquire:--What hast thou gained by all this thy righteousness? |
6049 | Nay, is it not the mark of implacable reprobates? |
6049 | Nay, say they, why may not we as well as he? |
6049 | Nay, was he not ready to give the lie to the angel, when he told him God was with him? |
6049 | Nay, what petition of any kind is there in thy vain- glorious oration from first to last? |
6049 | Nay, what world, what people, what nation, for sin and transgression, could or can be compared to Jerusalem? |
6049 | Nay, you must make two questions of this one; that is, what is it for faith to come, and in what manner doth it come? |
6049 | Need I read you a lecture? |
6049 | Neither is baptism any thing? |
6049 | Ninth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners? |
6049 | No affection for the God that made thee? |
6049 | No man, when he buildeth his house, makes the principal parts thereof of weak or feeble timber; for how could such bear up the rest? |
6049 | No, saith the child, nor with this hand either; then have I said, Shall we cut off this finger, and buy my child a better, a brave golden finger? |
6049 | No; if Isaiah, with his mighty eloquence, again appeared among mortals, again would his cry be heard,''Who hath believed our report?'' |
6049 | No; the poor, the despised in this world, claim kindred with him--''Is not this the carpenter''s son?'' |
6049 | No? |
6049 | Noah and Lot, who so holy as they in the time of their afflictions? |
6049 | Noah and Lot, who so holy as they, in the day of their affliction? |
6049 | Noah and Lot, who so idle as they in the day of their prosperity? |
6049 | Nor are we now, as at the peep of light, To question, is it day, or is it night? |
6049 | Nor can any man propound such an essential way to cut off boasting as this, which is of God''s providing: for what has man here to boast of? |
6049 | Nor was this but the least of what he did, But the outside of what he suffered? |
6049 | Nor yet of thy poor soul some pity take? |
6049 | Not sullenly saying like that wicked king, Why should I wait on the Lord any longer? |
6049 | Nothing of this hath been done by him in this life, and therefore how can any such be recorded for him in the book of life? |
6049 | Now I come to the second question-- to wit, What is it to be saved by grace? |
6049 | Now I have conquered your Diabolus, you come to me for favour, but why did you not help me against the mighty? |
6049 | Now I will add, but what if he that can give a shilling, giveth nothing? |
6049 | Now do we regret our want of greater conformity to his image? |
6049 | Now do you call conscience the light of Christ? |
6049 | Now dost thou mean the Spirit of Christ? |
6049 | Now help, Lord; now, Lord Jesus, what shall I do? |
6049 | Now here some may object, and say, Since the way to God by these door were so wide, why doth Christ say the way and gate is narrow? |
6049 | Now here''s the holiness that should them save, Or, as a preparation, go before, To move God to do for them less or more? |
6049 | Now if God noble angels did not spare Because they did transgress, will he forbear Poor dust and ashes? |
6049 | Now if all these and their works as to our justification, are rejected, where, but in Christ, is righteousness to be found? |
6049 | Now if he means their ordinary sabbaths, or that called the seventh day sabbath, why doth he join the winter thereto? |
6049 | Now if it be asked, What promise is entailed to our first day sabbath? |
6049 | Now if the Captain, their king Apollion, be made to yield, how can his followers stand their ground? |
6049 | Now if these things be so, how can the love that saveth us from them be known or understood to the full? |
6049 | Now if you would know who this Lord Jesus is, look into Acts 10:28 and you shall see it was Jesus of Nazareth; would you know who that was? |
6049 | Now let the man that professes the name of Christ religiously, consider with himself, unto what sin or vanity am I most inclined; Is it pride? |
6049 | Now men can let their tongues run at random, as we used to say; now they will be apt to say, Our tongues are our own, who shall control them? |
6049 | Now necessity walks about the streets, crying, Who is on the Lord''s side? |
6049 | Now saith reason, how shall I come thither? |
6049 | Now seeing the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is so nigh, even at the doors, what doth this speak to all sorts of people( under heaven) but this? |
6049 | Now some may say, But what shall we do to depart from iniquity? |
6049 | Now that the lions are removed, may we not fear that hypocrites will thrust themselves into our churches? |
6049 | Now the Pharisee, like Haman, saith in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour, more than to myself? |
6049 | Now the Spirit of Christ that leads also, but whither? |
6049 | Now the question is, who shall prevail? |
6049 | Now the soul is purchased by a price that the Son, the wisdom of God, thought fit to pay for the redemption thereof-- what a thing, then, is the soul? |
6049 | Now then, did the Publican this of his own head, or from his now mind? |
6049 | Now there is both comfort and honour in this; for what comfort like that of being a holy man of God? |
6049 | Now this is a daring thing: I know their lies, saith he; and shall he not recompense for this? |
6049 | Now this righteousness, the apostle casteth away, as was shewn before;''Not having mine own righteousness( saith he) which is of the law''; why? |
6049 | Now we are come to the pinch, viz., Whether it be that of water, or no? |
6049 | Now what can deliver the soul from these but grace? |
6049 | Now what can hell and death do to him that hath this mercy of God upon him? |
6049 | Now what did he do by this his carriage, but testify plainly that he was not for receiving accusations against poor sinners, whoever accused by? |
6049 | Now wherein doth it appear that he was without spot and blemish, but as he walked in the law? |
6049 | Now, I pray, what is it to be a devil, but to be under, for ever, the power and dominion of sin, an implacable spirit against God? |
6049 | Now, I remember that one day, as I was walking into the country, I was much in the thoughts of this, But how if the day of grace be past? |
6049 | Now, I say, when this part of the book of life shall be opened, what can be found in it, of the good deeds and heaven- born actions of wicked men? |
6049 | Now, I would ask, what all this should signify, if a sinner, as a sinner, before he washes, or is washed, may immediately go unto the throne of grace? |
6049 | Now, as they came up to these places, behold, the gardener stood in the way, to whom the Pilgrims said, Whose goodly vineyards and gardens are these? |
6049 | Now, being made free from sin, what follows? |
6049 | Now, how strong the motions or passions of love are, who is there that is an utter stranger thereto? |
6049 | Now, how then do you give them their liberty? |
6049 | Now, if Christ, as an Advocate, pleadeth a propitiation with God, for whose conviction doth he plead it? |
6049 | Now, if God shall count me righteous, who will be so hardy as to conclude I yet shall perish? |
6049 | Now, if a call to come hath such encouragement in it, what is a promise of receiving such, but an encouragement much more? |
6049 | Now, if a child has such tenderness for a useless member, how much more tender is the Son of God to his afflicted members? |
6049 | Now, if he can not know them, from what principle should he will them? |
6049 | Now, if she, with her children, are in bondage, how canst thou expect by them to be made free? |
6049 | Now, if so much safety flows from God''s being for one, how safe are we when God is with us? |
6049 | Now, if they be blind, how shall they come? |
6049 | Now, if this cause be faulty, why doth he live? |
6049 | Now, if thou takest such things for a grant of thy desires, and consequently concludest thyself a righteous man, how mayest thou be deceived? |
6049 | Now, if when she had things to trade with, her dealers left her; how shall she think of a trade, when she has nothing to traffic with? |
6049 | Now, is not this a blessed Christ, coming sinner? |
6049 | Now, it may be asked what is the throne of grace? |
6049 | Now, justification and eternal salvation being both in Christ, and nowhere else to be had for men, who would not come to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Now, madam, what sayest thou? |
6049 | Now, shall a soul where the word and Spirit of Christ dwells, be a soul without good works? |
6049 | Now, since I show thee all these mysteries, How canst thou hate me, or me scandalize? |
6049 | Now, since this is so, what can the condemned at the judgment say for themselves, why sentence of death should not be passed upon them? |
6049 | Now, since this is thus, quoth he, can you be kept by any prince in more slavery, and in greater bondage, than you are under this day? |
6049 | Now, the question is, how Abraham found? |
6049 | Now, then, I would be saved; but why? |
6049 | Now, then, it will be demanded, how a soul, before it was a month old, could receive sin to the making of itself unclean? |
6049 | Now, thought Christian, what shall I do? |
6049 | Now, to be taught of God, what like it? |
6049 | Now, what can an intercessor do, if he is not able to answer this question? |
6049 | Now, what doth Christ plead, and what is the ground of his plea? |
6049 | Now, what is faith but a believing, a trusting, or relying act of the soul? |
6049 | Now, what is the result, but that the Advocate goes down, as well as we; we to hell, and he in esteem? |
6049 | Now, what is the signification of this name but SAVIOUR? |
6049 | Now, what remains but that we who are reconciled to God by faith in his blood are quit, discharged, and set free from the law of sin and death? |
6049 | Now, what shall God do to save these men? |
6049 | Now, what shall this man do? |
6049 | Now, what was Paul''s answer? |
6049 | Now, when Jesus was born, it is said,''Where is he that is born King of the Jews?'' |
6049 | Now, when thou hast thought on these things fairly, answer thyself in these few questions: Is not this arrogancy? |
6049 | Now, whence should all this disobedience arise? |
6049 | Now, where lieth the fault? |
6049 | Now, which of these hast thou? |
6049 | Now, who will meet me in this dark entry? |
6049 | Now, will not this last his poor brethren to spend upon a great while? |
6049 | O Lord, thought I, what if I should not, indeed? |
6049 | O blessed face and holy grace, When shall we see this day? |
6049 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
6049 | O grave, where is thy victory?" |
6049 | O grave, where is thy victory?'' |
6049 | O how should a poor soul do this? |
6049 | O my brethren,''what manner of persons ought we to be,''who have subscribed to the Lord, and have called ourselves by the name of Israel? |
6049 | O my brother, if He will but go along with us, what need we be afraid of ten thousands that shall set themselves against us? |
6049 | O my reader, would you be one of the glorified inhabitants of that city whose builder and maker is God? |
6049 | O sinner, wilt thou not open? |
6049 | O that godly plea of Samuel:''Behold here I am,''says he,''witness against me, before the Lord, and before his anointed, whose ox have I taken? |
6049 | O that saying of God to them of old,"Why criest thou for thine affliction? |
6049 | O thou that fearest the Lord, what is thy desire? |
6049 | O what an alteration will there be among the ungodly when they go out of this world? |
6049 | O what thunderings and lightnings, what earthquakes and tempests, will there be in every damned soul, at the opening of this book? |
6049 | O what will it profit thy soul to have pleasure in this life, and torments in hell? |
6049 | O''what shall be given unto thee,''thou''deceitful tongue?'' |
6049 | O, but I am but one, and a very sorry one, too; and what is one, especially such an one as I am? |
6049 | O, if he were here one quarter of an hour, to behold, to see, to feel, to taste and enjoy but the thousandth part of what we enjoy, what would he do? |
6049 | O, then we should have you cry out, I must have Christ; what shall I do for Christ? |
6049 | O, therefore, will not this aggravate thy torment? |
6049 | Objection.-But doth not Christ as Advocate plead for his elect, though not called as yet? |
6049 | Observe, I am commanded to believe, but what should I believe? |
6049 | Of God, do I say; if thou wouldst but break this league with this great enemy of thy soul? |
6049 | Of that which is sown, or of that which was never sown? |
6049 | Of what use are these expressions, if the soul of Christ suffered not, if it suffered not when separated from the body? |
6049 | On his arrival, he demanded,''Are all the prisoners safe?'' |
6049 | Once being at an honest woman''s house, I, after some pause, asked her how she did? |
6049 | One chanced mockingly, beholding the carriage of the men, to say unto them, What will ye buy? |
6049 | One reads, he prays, he catechises too; But doth he nothing else, what doth he do? |
6049 | One word also to you that are neglecters of Jesus Christ:''How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?'' |
6049 | One would have thought that this had been a small request, a small courtesy-- ONE DROP OF WATER-- what is that? |
6049 | Or are we only out of that Egyptian darkness, that in baptism have got the start of our brethren? |
6049 | Or are you afraid lest the truth should invade your quarters?'' |
6049 | Or art thou ignorant of these things, and yet darest thou say, Our Father? |
6049 | Or art thou like the ostrich whom God hath deprived of wisdom, and has hardened her heart against her young? |
6049 | Or art thou not? |
6049 | Or art thou one a going backward thither? |
6049 | Or art thou one agoing backward thither? |
6049 | Or do they altogether make but one Spirit of Christ? |
6049 | Or do they still like and approve of you as well as ever? |
6049 | Or do you count all that yourselves have no hand in, done to your disparagement? |
6049 | Or do you look upon Jesus at that time to be but a shadow, or type of some what that was afterwards to be done within? |
6049 | Or dost thou count they were but painted fears Which from thine eyes did squeeze so many tears? |
6049 | Or dost thou sideling go, and would''st not be Suspected? |
6049 | Or dost thou think that God is at play with thee, and that he threateneth but in jest? |
6049 | Or dost thou wink, because thou would''st not see? |
6049 | Or dost thou wink, because thou would''st not see? |
6049 | Or has it the smell or savour of such a thing? |
6049 | Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profaned the sabbath, and are blameless?'' |
6049 | Or how is it with thy soul? |
6049 | Or how shall a man be able to give to others a satisfactory account of his unfeigned subjection to the gospel, that yet abides in his impenitency? |
6049 | Or how sincerely righteous they were whom God justified as ungodly? |
6049 | Or how, if the next sight I see with mine eyes be the Lord in the clouds, with all his angels, raining floods of fire and brimstone upon the world? |
6049 | Or if he ask a fish, will he bestow A serpent? |
6049 | Or if he looks no further than to horses, what will he do at the swellings of Jordan( Jer 12:5)? |
6049 | Or if it came to them only?'' |
6049 | Or if it should, would it be a suitable medicine in the least to present to the eyes of a broken and wounded people, as the Jews will be at that day? |
6049 | Or if they had offered that offering, that was to be burnt as a sin- offering, otherwise than it was commanded? |
6049 | Or if they were, would they be afraid that God would not make them welcome? |
6049 | Or is he ever the more a fool, for flying from that which will drown thee in hell- fire, and for seeking eternal life? |
6049 | Or is his grace so far gone, and so near spent, that now he has not enough to pardon, and secure, and save one sinner more? |
6049 | Or is it a way into which I have twisted myself, as not being contented with my first lot, that by God and my parents I was cast into? |
6049 | Or is it muddy, and mixed with the doctrines of men? |
6049 | Or is it not the least of thy thoughts all the day? |
6049 | Or makes as if he would not reconcile To thee again? |
6049 | Or must they neglect the weightier matters, because they want mint, and anise, and cummin? |
6049 | Or of Heman, when he said he was free among them whom God remembered no more? |
6049 | Or shall it come to save us? |
6049 | Or that he should make such ado, By justice, and by grace; By prophets and apostles too, That men might see his face? |
6049 | Or that the promise he hath made, Also the threatenings great, Should in a moment end and fade? |
6049 | Or that there should be the strength of an ox in a wren? |
6049 | Or the epistle of James? |

6049 | Or they who do us scorn? |
6049 | Or those who do our houses waste? |
6049 | Or us, who this have borne? |
6049 | Or was his calling so gainful to him as always to keep his purse''s belly full, though he was himself a great spender? |
6049 | Or was it possible but that after a while these fig- leaves should have become rotten, and turned to dung? |
6049 | Or what careth he for the pinching frost, which burneth with the love of the Lord? |
6049 | Or what do you think of David, when he said he was cast off from God''s eyes? |
6049 | Or what falsehood doth it command thee to receive for truth? |
6049 | Or what if a man should act now as a son, rather than simply as a creature endued with a principle of reason? |
6049 | Or what man is there of you, if his son Shall ask him bread, will he give him a stone? |
6049 | Or what shadow now is left in it since its institution as to divine service is taken long since from it? |
6049 | Or what should be the object of my faith in the matter of my justification with God? |
6049 | Or what will they give in exchange for their souls? |
6049 | Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? |
6049 | Or whether such think that Christ Jesus was subject to be tainted by the badness of the place, had he been there? |
6049 | Or whether that day, as a sabbath, was afterwards by the apostles imposed upon the churches of the Gentiles? |
6049 | Or whether, when the scripture says, God is in hell, it is any disparagement to him? |
6049 | Or who can save alive, when the maker of the world is set against them? |
6049 | Or who shall condemn me-- just judges? |
6049 | Or why must the old sabbath be joined to this new ministration? |
6049 | Or"Shall any teach God knowledge?" |

6049 | Or, How could God in justice give it to a person, that by the law stood condemned, before they were quitted from that condemnation? |
6049 | Or, Is it possible that a man that has done as he has, should yet be found a saint, and so in a saved state? |
6049 | Or, are these such as may better be broken, than for want of light to forbear baptism with water? |
6049 | Or, are you become so high in your own phantasies, that none have, or are to have but private means of grace? |
6049 | Or, as another prophet has it,"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? |
6049 | Or, as you have it in John, will you love your life till you lose it? |
6049 | Or, how can that man say, I would glorify God, who in his very heart refuseth to stand and fall by his mercy? |
6049 | Or, is this the way that thou takest to mortify sin? |
6049 | Or, must their graces be increased by none but private means? |
6049 | Or, must we now be afraid to say that Christ is better than water baptism? |
6049 | Or, ought none but them that are baptized to have the public means of grace? |
6049 | Or, whether every saint in some sort, hath not the keys of the kingdom of heaven, which are the Scriptures and their power? |
6049 | Otherwise,''Being planted, shall it prosper? |
6049 | Our author, perhaps, will say, I have not spoken to his question; which was,"Whether women, fearing God, may meet to pray together? |
6049 | Paul did not so much as once ask him, What is your end in this question? |
6049 | Perfect righteousness, what to do? |
6049 | Perfecting holiness, what is that? |
6049 | Perhaps the word''satisfaction''will hardly be found in the Bible; and where is it said in so many words,''God is dissatisfied with our sins?'' |
6049 | Perhaps thou wilt not let go now, what, as a hypocrite, thou hast got; but"what is the hope of the hypocrite, when God taketh away his soul?" |
6049 | Peter asks thee another question, to wit,"If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" |
6049 | Pilate''s question,"What is truth?" |

6049 | Poor besotted sinner, is this thy last shift? |
6049 | Poor child, thought I, what sorrow art thou like to have for thy portion in this world? |
6049 | Poor drunken sinner, what shall I say to thee? |
6049 | Poor sin- sick soul, do you consider your state more loathsome and dangerous than the leprosy? |
6049 | Poor wretch, quoth the Pharisee to the Publican, What comest thou for? |
6049 | Power to do what? |
6049 | Pray how did he break it? |
6049 | Pray how did she die? |
6049 | Pray in the custody of Giant Despair, in the midst of Doubting Castle, and when their own folly brought them there too? |

6049 | Pray, did you know him? |
6049 | Pray, how was he in his death? |
6049 | Pray, what count you good thoughts, and a life according to God''s commandments? |

6049 | Pray, what was it more that he said unto you? |
6049 | Pray, where did you find all these? |
6049 | Pray, who are your kindred there? |
6049 | Presently with envy they are enraged and cry,"Dost thou not know that every man hath a measure of the spirit given to him? |
6049 | Prithee let me know Thy state? |
6049 | Prithee tell me what moved thee to come to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Prithee tell me, What seest thou in him to allure thee to forsake all the world, to come to him? |
6049 | Prithee, what new knowledge hast thou got, that so worketh off thy mind from thy friends, and that tempteth thee to go, nobody knows where? |
6049 | Professors such, perhaps, there may be, and who upon earth can help it? |
6049 | Proof.--"Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? |
6049 | Put thyself now upon this serious inquiry, Am I indeed come to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Q. Hath he indeed made amends for sin? |
6049 | Quest.--But how( may some say) doth the devil make his delusions take place in the hearts of poor creatures? |
6049 | Quest.--But you will say, doth not the scripture make mention of a Christ within? |
6049 | Reader, can you be content with this? |
6049 | Reader, can you solve Mr. Bunyan''s riddle? |
6049 | Reader, have you ever felt thus''in downright earnest''for salvation? |
6049 | Reader, have you ever spoken harshly to, or persecuted, a child of God-- a poor penitent sinner? |
6049 | Reader, have you fled for refuge to the hope set before you in the gospel? |
6049 | Reader, have you had, at any time, equal anxiety for your soul''s health and salvation? |
6049 | Reader, how is your inclination? |
6049 | Reader, in the sight of god, let the heart- searching inquiry of the apostle''s be yours; Lord, is it I? |
6049 | Reader, is this your lot also? |
6049 | Reader, our anxious inquiry should be, Have we entered in by Christ the gate? |
6049 | Reader, what sayest thou to this? |
6049 | Reader, what sayst thou to this? |
6049 | Reader, would''st see what may you never feel, Despair, racks, torments, whips of burning steel? |
6049 | Reader, wouldst see what you may never feel, Despair, racks, torments, whips of burning steel? |
6049 | Reason also says the same, for how can Blacks beget white children, when both father and mother are black? |
6049 | Reason will say, Then who will profess Christ that hath such coarse entertainment at the beginning? |
6049 | Received you the Spirit, saith St. Paul, By hearing, faith, or works? |
6049 | Received, into what? |
6049 | Recorder was mad, and so not to be regarded: and for this he urged his fits, and said, If he be himself, why doth he not do thus always? |
6049 | Rejoicing in spirit for the hope of the life to come by Christ, who will that harm? |
6049 | Return again, my daughters, go your way, For I''m too old to marry: should I say I''ve hope? |
6049 | Riches and power, what is there more in the world? |
6049 | SECOND, How it appears that Christ hath power to save or cast out? |
6049 | SECONDLY, What death they must die? |
6049 | Said they anything more to discourage you? |
6049 | Saith not the gospel the very same? |
6049 | Saith the soul, Can not the devil give one such comfort I trow? |
6049 | Samson withstood his Delilah for a while, but she got the mastery of him at the last; why so? |
6049 | Satan often saith of us when we have sinned, as Abishai said of Shimei after he had cursed David, Shall not this man die for this? |
6049 | Satan stronger than the Almighty Redeemer? |
6049 | Saved I would be; and who is there that would not, were they in my condition? |
6049 | Say I these things as a man? |
6049 | Say I this of myself? |
6049 | Say they, if our iniquities be upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live? |
6049 | Say you so? |
6049 | Say you so? |
6049 | Says Paul,''They did not like to retain God in their knowledge''; and what follows? |
6049 | Says Satan, Dost thou not know that thou hast horribly sinned? |
6049 | Says Satan, dost thou not know that thou hast horribly sinned? |
6049 | Says Satan, dost thou not know, that thou art one of the vilest in all the pack of professors? |
6049 | Says Satan, doth not thy conscience tell thee that thou art and hast been more base than any of thy fellows can imagine thee to be? |
6049 | Scenes of accomplished bliss, which who can see, Though but in distant prospect, and not feel His soul refresh''d with foretaste of the joy? |
6049 | Second, Art thou come to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Second, Because you know that though a man do run, yet if he do not overcome, or win, as well as run, what will he be the better for his running? |
6049 | Second, But what is it for Jesus to be an Advocate for these? |
6049 | Second, But you will say, is there a man made mention of here? |
6049 | Second, The second thing is, who are they that are carried away with this delusion, and why? |
6049 | Second, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners, to the Jerusalem sinners? |
6049 | Secondly, For that he perceived God was with them, though in that dark and dismal state; and why not, thought he, with me? |
6049 | Secondly, How safe they are in the arms of Jesus; would they be here again for a thousand worlds? |
6049 | Secondly, In the time of Elias, which time also was typical of this, what church was there to be seen in Israel? |
6049 | Secondly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed, and must she have an end? |
6049 | Secondly, by whom, and to what, he that is weak in the faith is to be received? |
6049 | See here, a man at the foot of the ladder, now ready in will and mind, to die for his profession; but how will he carry it now? |
6049 | See here, what should we talk any more about such a fellow? |
6049 | See now, did not I tell thee that thy fears were but the consequence of strong desires? |
6049 | Seest thou a professor that prayeth not? |
6049 | Seest thou here, how saints of old were wo nt to do? |
6049 | Seest thou not that many of late have been snatched away, on each side of thee( by that hand that hath been stretched out and is so still)? |
6049 | Sermon being done, up she gets, and away she goes, and withal inquired where this Jesus the preacher dined that day? |
6049 | Seth then was no better than we by nature, but came into the world in the blood of his mother''s filth:"What is man, that he should be clean? |
6049 | Seth, saith the Spirit, was set in the stead of Abel, there as forlorn, to defend religion: Must he not now be swallowed up? |
6049 | Seventh, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners? |
6049 | Seventhly, Must Antichrist be destroyed? |
6049 | Shall Christ come down from Heaven to earth to declare this to sinners; and shall sinners stop their ears against these good tidings? |
6049 | Shall Christ think nothing too dear for me? |
6049 | Shall Christ weep to see thy soul going on to destruction, and will though sport thyself in that way? |
6049 | Shall God display his glory before us under the character and title of a Creator, and shall we yet fear man? |
6049 | Shall God enter this complaint against thee? |
6049 | Shall God love me a sinner? |
6049 | Shall God love, shall he keep his faith to me? |
6049 | Shall God speak to man''s soul, and shall not man believe? |
6049 | Shall God the only wise, be arraigned at the bar of thy blind reason, and there be judged and condemned for his acts done in eternity? |

6049 | Shall I be admitted into, or shut out from, that blessed kingdom? |
6049 | Shall I be proud, because I am sounding brass? |

6049 | Shall I chide them? |
6049 | Shall I come to particulars with thee? |
6049 | Shall I content myself with a heaven that will last no longer than my lifetime? |
6049 | Shall I entertain thee against my sovereign Lord? |
6049 | Shall I flatter them? |
6049 | Shall I grieve Him with my foolish carriage? |
6049 | Shall I have my sins and lose my soul? |
6049 | Shall I honour Thee most by believing Thou wilt pardon my sins, or by believing Thou wilt not? |
6049 | Shall I intreat them to hold their tongues? |
6049 | Shall I need to mention particularly contests many years past, and presented to us in print? |
6049 | Shall I not be abandoned for this, and sent back from thence ashamed? |
6049 | Shall I now be ashamed of the cause, ways, people, or saints of Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Shall I now love ever a lust or sin? |
6049 | Shall I now speak of the place that this saved body and soul shall dwell in? |
6049 | Shall I now yield my members as instruments of righteousness, seeing my end is everlasting life? |
6049 | Shall I save thee? |
6049 | Shall I slight His counsel by following of my own will? |
6049 | Shall I speak of the satiety and of the duration of all these? |
6049 | Shall I speak of their company? |
6049 | Shall I speak of their continuance in this condition? |
6049 | Shall I speak of their heavenly raiment? |
6049 | Shall I tell thee? |
6049 | Shall Jesus Christ be interceding in heaven? |
6049 | Shall another man pray for this, one that knew the goodness and benefit of it, and shall not I meditate upon it? |
6049 | Shall he look to God? |
6049 | Shall he look to himself? |
6049 | Shall he look to the commandment? |
6049 | Shall he not therefore seek for fruit, for fruit answerable to the means? |
6049 | Shall he stay from Christ till his heart is better? |
6049 | Shall he that keeps his promise sure In things both low and small, Yet break it like a man impure, In matters great''st of all? |
6049 | Shall he that speaks in righteousness give place, and he who has nothing but envy and deceit be admitted to stand his ground? |
6049 | Shall he trust to his duties? |
6049 | Shall he turn away, and not return?'' |
6049 | Shall it be said at the last day, that the wicked made more haste to hell than you to Heaven? |
6049 | Shall it be said at the last day, that wicked men made more haste to hell than you did make to heaven? |
6049 | Shall man believe what God says, and nothing at all regard it? |
6049 | Shall not Christ, then, prevail? |
6049 | Shall not I now be holy? |
6049 | Shall not I now study, strive, and lay out myself for Him that hath laid out Himself soul and body for me? |
6049 | Shall not then these mournful groans pierce thy flinty heart? |
6049 | Shall not this lay obligation upon me? |
6049 | Shall pride be found among redeemed slaves? |
6049 | Shall saints, then, like slaves, be afraid of their God, the Creator; of their own God, when he rendeth the heavens, and comes down? |
6049 | Shall that hinder the execution of Shall- come? |
6049 | Shall the beast stand glorying over them while they are dead, with his feet in their neck? |
6049 | Shall the dead arise and praise thee?'' |
6049 | Shall the devil''s kingdom be united, and shall Christ''s be divided? |

6049 | Shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel, for do not I know, that I am king this day over Israel?" |
6049 | Shall they come? |
6049 | Shall they prosper that do such things? |
6049 | Shall this be the burden of the song of heaven? |
6049 | Shall this man lie down and despair? |
6049 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
6049 | Shall we be ruled by the Giant? |
6049 | Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
6049 | Shall we deserve correction? |
6049 | Shall we do evil that good may come? |
6049 | Shall we do evil that good may come? |
6049 | Shall we forget them? |
6049 | Shall we go back again to my Lord, and confess our folly, and ask one? |
6049 | Shall we sin because we are forgiven? |

6049 | She said she was afraid; I asked her, why? |
6049 | She, also, that is thine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which saith unto thee, Where is the Lord thy God?" |
6049 | Short- sighted mortal,"shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"'' |
6049 | Should I now be ashamed of His ways and servants, how can I expect the blessing? |
6049 | Should I this night conceive a son? |
6049 | Should a man ask me how he should know that he loveth the children of God? |
6049 | Should one say to some, Art not thou the man that I once saw crying under a sermon, that I once, heard cry out, What must I do to be saved? |
6049 | Should one say to some-- Art not thou that man I saw crying out under a sermon,''What shall I do to be saved?'' |
6049 | Should she stay where she dwells, and retain this her mind, who could live quietly by her? |
6049 | Should we have been made a curse? |
6049 | Should we have undergone the pains of Hell? |
6049 | Should we make Mr. Good- deed our messenger when our petition cries for mercy? |
6049 | Should we pray for communion with God through Christ? |
6049 | Should you ask him that we mentioned but now, How long is it since you began to fear you should miss of this damsel you love so? |
6049 | Since, then, the children have Christ for their advocate, art thou a child? |
6049 | Sinner, art thou thirsty? |
6049 | Sinner, be advised; ask thy heart again, saying, Am I come to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Sinner, canst thou read that Jesus Christ was made an offering for sin, and yet go in sin? |
6049 | Sinner, careless sinner, didst thou take notice of this first inference that I have drawn from my second doctrine? |
6049 | Sinner, coming sinner, art thou for coming to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Sinner, hast thou deferred to fear the Lord? |
6049 | Sinner, hast thou obtained a broken heart? |
6049 | Sinner, if this wicked thought be in thy heart, tell me again, dost thou thus think in earnest? |
6049 | Sinner, sick sinner, what sayest thou to this? |
6049 | Sinner, what sayest thou? |
6049 | Sinner, what wilt thou take to make a mountain of sand that will reach as high as the sun is at noon? |
6049 | Sinner, where is now thy righteousness? |
6049 | Sinner, why shouldest thou pull vengeance down upon thee? |
6049 | Sinner, wouldst thou have mercy? |
6049 | Sinners, you have souls, can you behold a crucified Christ, and not bleed, and not mourn, and not fall in love with him? |
6049 | Sir, said I, if I may do good to one by my discourse, why may I not do good to two? |
6049 | Sir, said I, pray what do you mean by calling the people together? |
6049 | Sir, said the least, I was almost beat out of heart? |
6049 | Sir, what is the cause of this? |
6049 | Sir, what think you? |
6049 | Sir, which is my way to this honest man''s house? |
6049 | Sir, you seem greatly concerned at this, but what if I shall say more? |
6049 | Sixthly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed? |
6049 | Skill, how does it taste? |
6049 | Skill, saying, Sir, what will content you for your pains and care to, and of my child? |
6049 | Sluggard, art thou asleep still? |
6049 | Snuff- dishes, you may say, what are they? |
6049 | Snuffers, you may say, of what were they a type? |
6049 | So Christ:''Which of you convinceth me of sin?'' |
6049 | So Christiana asked Prudence what it was that made those curious notes? |
6049 | So David,''Why art thou cast down, O my soul? |
6049 | So He addressed Himself to Mercy, and said unto her, And what moved thee to come hither, sweet heart? |
6049 | So I asked her, she being a stranger to me, what she had to say to me? |
6049 | So I was, and a sweet dream it was; but are you sure I laughed? |
6049 | So again saith he in the next Psalm after, as afore he had complained of the oppression of the enemy,''Why art thou cast down, O my soul? |
6049 | So again:"I was left alone,"says he,"and saw this great vision"; and what follows? |
6049 | So again:''What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?'' |
6049 | So also Bunyan-"Every height is a difficulty to him that is loaden; with a burden, how shall we attain the Heaven of heavens? |
6049 | So full is this of consolation and felicity that the apostle exclaims,''If God be for us, who can be against us?'' |
6049 | So he came directly to me, and said, Mercy, what aileth thee? |
6049 | So he further asked, if all the men in the town of Mansoul were in this confession as they? |
6049 | So it is here, there is a promise made indeed, but to whom? |
6049 | So that the question is not, Do I find that I am righteous? |
6049 | So that, is there righteousness in Christ? |
6049 | So the guide, Mr. Great- heart, awaked him, and the old gentleman, as he lift up his eyes, cried out, What''s the matter? |
6049 | So then, Doth the law call for righteousness? |
6049 | So then, when the body of Christ is in every sense completed in this life by the light of the sunshine of his holy gospel, what need of this sun? |
6049 | So they began and said, Neighbour, pray what is your meaning by this? |
6049 | So they called her, and said to her, Mercy, what is that thing thou wouldst have? |
6049 | So they came up one to another; and presently Stand- fast said to old Honest, Ho, father Honest, are you there? |
6049 | So when he was come into the chamber of state, Diabolus saluted him with''Welcome, my Lord, how went matters betwixt you to- day?'' |
6049 | So when he was got in, the man of the gate asked him who directed him thither? |
6049 | So when they were come to the gate, the guide knocked, and the Porter cried, Who is there? |
6049 | So, again, in another place, he saith,''Lord, how long wilt thou look on? |
6049 | So, again, speaking of the wicked, he saith,''Ye have said it is vain to serve God, and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance?'' |
6049 | So, did I say? |
6049 | So, of which of them hath He at any time said, This is, or shall be, made in or after Mine image, Mine own image? |
6049 | So, then, what is the axe, that it should boast itself against him that heweth therewith? |
6049 | So, then, wilt thou live by the law? |
6049 | Solomon says,''The word of a king is as the roaring of a lion''; and if so, what is the Word of God? |
6049 | Some make their sighs, their tears, their prayers, and their reformations, their advocates-"Hast thou tried these, and found them wanting?" |
6049 | Some may say, Will God see that which is not? |
6049 | Some of the things of God that are excellent, have not been approved by some of the saints: What then? |
6049 | Some, as I said, that revolt, are shot dead upon the place; and for them, who can help them? |
6049 | Sometimes I look upon myself, and say, Where am I now? |
6049 | Soon after we set out, my father came to my brother''s, and asked his men whom his daughter rode behind? |
6049 | Soul, consider, is it not miserable to lose heaven for twenty, thirty, or forty years''sinning against God? |
6049 | Soul, he suffered and did bear with the manners of Israel forty years in the wilderness; and hast thou tried him half so long? |
6049 | Specially that bitter outcry of his,''What shall I do to be saved?'' |
6049 | Still how common is the question, which one of the disciples put to his master,''Lord, are there few that be saved?'' |
6049 | Stop, my dear reader, have you cast away all useless encumbrances, and all easily besetting sins? |
6049 | Studies that yield far less profit than this, how close are they pursued, by some who have adapted themselves thereunto? |
6049 | Such as are self- evident or evident of themselves; to what? |
6049 | Suppose a child doth grievously transgress against and offend his father, is the relation between them therefore dissolved? |
6049 | Suppose a man, when he dieth, should be made to live for ever, but without the enjoyment of God, what good would his life do him? |
6049 | Suppose a man, when he dieth, should go to heaven, that golden place, what good would this do him, if he was not possessed of the God of it? |
6049 | Suppose all, if all these churches were baptized, what then? |
6049 | Suppose he shall against thee shut the door, Knock thou the louder, and cry out the more; What if he makes thee there to stand a while? |
6049 | Suppose it should be urged, that this is a doctrine tending to looseness and lasciviousness; the answer is ready--"What shall we say then? |
6049 | Suppose so many cattle in such a pound, and one goes by whose they are not, doth he concern himself? |
6049 | Suppose such a slip as I told you of before should be in your garden, and there die, would you let it abide in your garden? |
6049 | Suppose that I be cheated myself with a brass half- crown, must I therefore cheat another therewith? |
6049 | Suppose they staid but one quarter of an hour there after their fall, before they were cast out, what sweetness found they there, but guilt? |
6049 | Surely it hath not entered into the heart of man to conceive what ear never heard, nor mortal eye ever saw? |
6049 | Take the THREATENINGS laid down in holy writ, and how are they disregarded? |
6049 | Take the tables for the hearts of the murderers, and the instruments for their sins, and what place more fit for such instruments to be laid upon? |
6049 | Tell me, I say, by this text, whether is here intended the sins of all that shall be saved? |
6049 | Tell me, dost thou not desire to desire? |
6049 | Tell me, now, you that desire to be under the law, can you fulfil all the commands of the law, and after answer all its demands? |
6049 | Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him most? |
6049 | Tell me, when did you see an old drunkard converted? |
6049 | Tenth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners? |
6049 | Than thought? |
6049 | Than wind? |
6049 | That I may know also, whether the day of grace be past with me or no? |
6049 | That also in the Romans is clear to this purpose,''Who is he that condemneth? |
6049 | That is comparable to the pleasures, profits, and glory of this world? |
6049 | That is true, but what evil is that that he will not do, that is left of God, as I believe Mr. Badman was? |
6049 | That it cleaves to the best, who knows not? |
6049 | That it is disgraceful to profession, who knows not? |
6049 | That of David is for this remarkable,"Who am I,[ said he] and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? |
6049 | That old friend of publicans and sinners? |
6049 | That our duties are imperfect, follows upon what was discoursed before; for if our graces be imperfect, how can our duties but be so too? |
6049 | That tells thee the world is not, even then when it doth most appear to be; wilt thou set thine heart upon that which is not? |
6049 | That the soul, did I say? |
6049 | That they should lie and rot in their grave eternally? |
6049 | That they would put off the old man; what is that? |
6049 | That this must be so urged for their excuse: Hath God been more sparing in making out his mind in the one, rather than the other? |
6049 | That was extortion, was it not? |
6049 | That which we read is this;''Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?'' |
6049 | That, because these several things will convince of sin, therefore will they needs be the Spirit of Christ? |
6049 | The Bible had been to him a sealed book until, in a state of mental agony, he cried, What must I do to be saved? |
6049 | The END of the law-- what is the end of the law but perfect and sinless obedience? |
6049 | The Godhead is indeed invisible; how then is Christ the image of it? |
6049 | The Lord spake unto Manasseh, and to his people, by the prophets, but would he hear? |
6049 | The Pharisees, for that they professed religion, but walked not answerable thereto, unto what doth Christ compare them but to serpents and vipers? |
6049 | The Prince asked further, saying, Could you have been content that your slavery should have continued under his tyranny as long as you had lived? |
6049 | The Ranters would profess that they were without sin: and how far short of his opinion are the Quakers? |
6049 | The Shepherds then answered, Did you not see a little below these mountains a stile that led into a meadow, on the left hand of this way? |
6049 | The answer to the inquiry,"What is man?" |
6049 | The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? |
6049 | The broken- hearted desireth God''s company; when wilt thou come unto me? |
6049 | The children, indeed, have the advantage of an advocate; but what is this to them that have none to plead their cause? |
6049 | The cost of the enterprise is vast indeed; the army is numerous as our thoughts, and who can number''the multitude of his thoughts?'' |
6049 | The creditors asked what he would give? |
6049 | The curse of God hangs over your heads; and will you be slothful? |
6049 | The day of death and judgment is at the door; and will you be slothful? |
6049 | The devil will tempt us, sin will assault us, men will persecute; but can they do it to everlasting? |
6049 | The dragon her assaults, fills her with jars, Yet rests she under her Beloved''s shade, But whence was she? |
6049 | The end, what is that? |
6049 | The first is to question whether any are said to die and rise, by the death and resurrection of Christ? |
6049 | The first observation, or truth, drawn from the words is cleared by the text,''What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'' |
6049 | The forgiveness of sins: But what is meant by forgiveness? |
6049 | The full pitcher can hold no more; then why should it go to the fountain? |
6049 | The godly are called believers; and why believers, but because they are they that have given credit to the great things of the gospel of God? |
6049 | The grace of humility, when is it? |
6049 | The graces of the Spirit-- what like them, or where here are they to be found, save in the souls of men only? |
6049 | The great question is, not as to the means, but the fact-- Have I been born again? |
6049 | The guilt of blood who can bear? |
6049 | The hearing of this is enough to ravish one''s heart; but are these things to be enjoyed? |
6049 | The heart naturally is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; how then should there flow from such an one the fear of God? |
6049 | The inquiry is pursued a step farther,"Can those who differ with me be saved?" |
6049 | The inquiry was then, as, alas, it is too frequent now, Are there many that be saved? |
6049 | The instruments with which they slew the sacrifices, what were they but a bloody axe, bloody knives, bloody hooks, and bloody hands? |
6049 | The judge saith, What canst thou say for thyself that sentence of death should not be passed upon thee? |
6049 | The law is not of faith, why then should grace be by Christians expected by observation of the law? |
6049 | The law of Christ is,"Is any sick among you? |
6049 | The man also at the touching of the bones of Elisha? |
6049 | The man therefore, read it, and looking upon Evangelist very carefully, said, Whither must I fly? |
6049 | The man under the sixth head complaineth for want of temptations, but thou hast enough of them; art thou glad of them, tempted, coming sinner? |
6049 | The men then asked, What must we do in the holy place? |
6049 | The mercy, the pardoning preserving mercy, the mercy of the Lord is upon them, who is he then that can condemn them? |
6049 | The mind becomes entranced, and when sober reflection regains her command, we naturally inquire, Can all this have taken place in my heart? |
6049 | The name of God, what is that, but that by which he is distinguished and known from all others? |
6049 | The name of master is a name of fear--"And if I be a master, where is my fear? |
6049 | The principle, you will say, what do you mean by that? |
6049 | The promise is, that Babylon shall be destroyed: And do we hold our tongues? |
6049 | The question is not, Are they blind? |
6049 | The question is, Do not the scriptures make mention of a Christ within? |
6049 | The question naturally arises-- What is this''furnace of earth''in which the Lord''s words are purified? |
6049 | The question then is, whether the elect and reprobate receive a differing grace? |
6049 | The question,"Are there few that be saved?" |
6049 | The questions was answered with that portion of Scripture,''If God be for us, who can be against us?'' |
6049 | The record, you will say, what is that? |
6049 | The riches, honours, and pleasures of this world, what mortal can withstand? |
6049 | The righteous; who is he but the man that loveth God, and his holy will, to do it? |
6049 | The saints of old, they being willing and resolved for heaven, what could stop them? |
6049 | The same saying in effect hath also John in the Revelation--"Who shall not fear thee, O Lord,"said he,"and glorify thy name?" |
6049 | The second part of the inquiry is, to what he that is weak in the faith is to be received? |
6049 | The second question is, How should we strive? |
6049 | The second thing is, How are these brought into this Everlasting Covenant of Grace? |
6049 | The second thing that I would inquire into is this: What it is to be''ready to be offered up''? |
6049 | The smith, what is he? |
6049 | The snare, say you, what is that? |
6049 | The study of those scriptures, in order that the solemn question might be safely resolved,''Can such a fallen sinner rise again?'' |
6049 | The subject I should have preached upon, even then when the constable came, was,''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?'' |
6049 | The tail, says the Holy Ghost, draws them down; draws down even the stars of heaven; but whither doth he draw them? |
6049 | The text from which he intended to preach was''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?'' |
6049 | The text says''the desire of the righteous shall be granted''; what then are the desires of the righteous? |
6049 | The thing formed may not say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
6049 | The united are all the faithful in one body; into whom? |
6049 | The valley of Achor; what is that? |
6049 | The vital question is, Has my heart been conquered; do I love Emmanuel? |
6049 | The waster, what is that? |
6049 | The way that he took, led him directly into this condition; for who can expect other things of one that follows such courses? |
6049 | The which, when he had done, he said, Christiana, knowest thou wherefore I am come? |
6049 | The whole have no need of the physician; then why should they go to him? |
6049 | The whole of this address is descriptive of what the author saw, felt, or heard--''What shall I say? |
6049 | The wicked; who is he but the man that loves not God, nor to do his will? |
6049 | Their covetousness declareth that they are weary of depending upon God; and doth not thy wanton actions declare that thou abhorrest chastity? |
6049 | Their minds and consciences are defiled; how then can sweet and good proceed from thence? |
6049 | Their minds were blinded, saith the text: Whose minds? |
6049 | Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; how then can there be found one word that should please God? |
6049 | Their poison-- what is that? |
6049 | Then Christian asked, What is the reason of the discontent of Passion? |
6049 | Then Christian called to Demas, saying, Is not the place dangerous? |
6049 | Then Christian said to him, Come away, man, why do you stay so behind? |
6049 | Then Demas called again, saying, But will you not come over and see? |
6049 | Then Faithful stepped forward again, and said to Talkative, Come, what cheer? |
6049 | Then I ask again, Hast thou committed thy cause to him? |
6049 | Then I ask again, Hast thou revealed thy cause unto him?-I say, Hast thou revealed thy cause unto him? |
6049 | Then I asked him further, how I must make my supplication to Him? |
6049 | Then I asked him which was his first coming? |
6049 | Then I asked how long time he would have me live with him? |
6049 | Then I said, But how, Lord, must I consider of Thee in my coming to Thee, that my faith may be placed aright upon Thee? |
6049 | Then I said, But, Lord, what is believing? |
6049 | Then Israel said, Why were you so unkind To say you had a brother left behind? |
6049 | Then Mr. Stand- fast blushed, and said, But why, did you see me? |
6049 | Then Naomi said, Shall I not, my daughter, Seek rest for thee, that thou do well hereafter? |
6049 | Then Said Christian to the man, What art thou? |
6049 | Then breaking out in the bitterness of my soul, I said''to myself,''with a grievous sigh, How can God comfort such a wretch as I? |
6049 | Then did he that came in for their relief call out to the ruffians, saying, What is that thing that you do? |
6049 | Then did that scripture seize upon my soul, He is of one mind, and who can turn him? |
6049 | Then did the Judge say to him, Hast thou any more to say? |
6049 | Then have I said, Shall we cut off this finger, and buy my child a better, a brave golden finger? |
6049 | Then he asked them, saying, Where did you lie the last night? |
6049 | Then he inquired if they all were well, And said, When you were here I heard you tell Of an old man, your father, how does he? |
6049 | Then he said to his mother, What diet has Matthew of late fed upon? |
6049 | Then ran Innocent in( for that was her name) and said to those within, Can you think who is at the door? |
6049 | Then said Charity to Christian, Have you a family? |
6049 | Then said Christian to Hopeful his fellow, Is it true which this man hath said? |
6049 | Then said Christian to his fellow, If these men can not stand before the sentence of men, what will they do with the sentence of God? |
6049 | Then said Christian to the Interpreter, But is there no hope for such a man as this? |
6049 | Then said Christian to the porter, Sir, what house is this? |
6049 | Then said Christian, May we go in thither? |
6049 | Then said Christian, What is thy name? |
6049 | Then said Christian, What meaneth this? |
6049 | Then said Christian, What meaneth this? |
6049 | Then said Christian, What means that? |
6049 | Then said Christian, What means this? |
6049 | Then said Christian, What means this? |
6049 | Then said Christian, What means this? |
6049 | Then said Christian, What means this? |
6049 | Then said Christian, Why doth this man thus tremble? |
6049 | Then said Christian, Why doth this man thus tremble? |
6049 | Then said Christian, You make me afraid, but whither shall I fly to be safe? |
6049 | Then said Christiana, What is the meaning of this? |
6049 | Then said Christiana, Wherefore weepeth my Sister so? |
6049 | Then said Evangelist further, Art not thou the man that I found crying without the walls of the City of Destruction? |
6049 | Then said Evangelist, How hath it fared with you, my friends, since the time of our last parting? |
6049 | Then said Evangelist, If this be thy condition, why standest thou still? |
6049 | Then said Evangelist, Why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils? |
6049 | Then said Evangelist, pointing with his finger over a very wide field, Do you see yonder wicket gate? |
6049 | Then said Gaius, Is this Christian''s wife? |
6049 | Then said Gaius, Whose wife is this aged matron? |
6049 | Then said He, Is there but one spider in all this spacious room? |
6049 | Then said Hopeful, Where are we now? |
6049 | Then said Joseph, Mother, what is it? |
6049 | Then said Matthew, May we eat apples, since they were such, by, and with which, the serpent beguiled our first mother? |
6049 | Then said Mercy to him that was their guide and conductor, What are those three men? |
6049 | Then said Mercy, How knew you this before you came from home? |
6049 | Then said Mercy, What means this? |
6049 | Then said Mnason their host, How far have ye come today? |
6049 | Then said Mr. Bunyan, Have you the original? |
6049 | Then said Mr. Bunyan,''Have you the original?'' |
6049 | Then said Mr. Desires- awake, why should not I do the best I can to save so famous a town as Mansoul from deserved destruction? |
6049 | Then said Mr. Feeble- mind to him, Man, How camest thou hither? |
6049 | Then said Mr. Great- heart to the little ones, Come, my pretty boys, how do you do? |
6049 | Then said Mr. Great- heart, Good Gaius, what hast thou for supper? |
6049 | Then said Mr. Great- heart, What art thou? |
6049 | Then said Mr. Great- heart, What things? |
6049 | Then said Mr. Valiant- for- truth, Prithee, who is it? |
6049 | Then said Nathaniel to Jesus,''Whence knowest thou me? |
6049 | Then said he that attempted to back the lions, Will you slay me upon mine own ground? |
6049 | Then said he, Who will go with me? |
6049 | Then said he, Who, and what is he that is so hardy, as after this manner to molest the Giant Despair? |
6049 | Then said she, How canst thou pretend to love me, When thus thy doing towards me disprove thee? |
6049 | Then said the Interpreter, Is there no hope, but you must be kept in the iron cage of despair? |
6049 | Then said the Keeper of the gate, Who is there? |
6049 | Then said the Keeper of the gate, Who is there? |
6049 | Then said the Keeper, Whence come ye, and what is that you would have? |
6049 | Then said the Prince again, Are you the men that did suffer yourselves to be corrupted and defiled by that abominable one Diabolus? |
6049 | Then said the Prince, And for what are those ropes on your heads? |
6049 | Then said the Prince, And what punishment is it, think you, that you deserve at my hand for these and other your high and mighty sins? |
6049 | Then said the Prince,''And what is he that is become thy companion in this so weighty a matter?'' |
6049 | Then said the Shepherds one to another, Shall we show these Pilgrims some wonders? |
6049 | Then said the boys, Are we not yet at the end of this doleful place? |
6049 | Then said the damsel to them, With whom would you speak in this place? |
6049 | Then said the giant, Why are you here on my ground? |
6049 | Then said the guide, Why did you not cry out, that some might have come in for your succour? |
6049 | Then said the man to the Prince,''Oh let not my Lord be angry; and why inquirest thou after the name of such a dead dog as I am? |
6049 | Then said the man, Neighbours, wherefore are ye come? |
6049 | Then said the men of Judah, for what reason Are you come up against us at this season? |
6049 | Then said the old man, Thou lookest like an honest fellow; wilt thou be content to dwell with me for the wages that I shall give thee? |
6049 | Then said the other, Do you see yonder shining light? |
6049 | Then said their guide, Come, what cheer, Sirs? |
6049 | Then said they, Have you none? |
6049 | Then said they, We entreat thee let us know, For whose cause we this evil undergo, Whence comest thou? |
6049 | Then said they, What should this be? |
6049 | Then said they, What''s thy riddle, let us know? |
6049 | Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive and removing to and fro? |
6049 | Then she addressed herself to the eldest, whose name was Matthew; and she said to him, Come, Matthew, shall I also catechise you? |
6049 | Then she said, Come, Joseph( for his name was Joseph), will you let me catechise you? |
6049 | Then such a question as this,"Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding garment?" |
6049 | Then the water stood in mine eyes, and I asked further, But, Lord, may such a great sinner as I am, be indeed accepted of Thee, and be saved by Thee? |
6049 | Then they asked her of her welfare, and if these young men were her husband''s sons? |
6049 | Then they asked the Shepherds what that should mean? |
6049 | Then they cried out to those that were sent, What news from the Prince? |
6049 | Then they stood trembling before him, and he said, Are you the men that heretofore were the servants of Shaddai? |
6049 | Then unto her, her mother- in- law did say, In what field hast thou been to glean to- day? |
6049 | Then were the men exceedingly afraid; And, wherefore hast thou done this thing? |
6049 | Then what doth this speak to the Lord''s own people? |
6049 | Then what mean they, who were to appearance once come out, but now are going thither again? |
6049 | Then what will become of all the profane, ignorant, scoffers, self- righteous, proud, bastard- professors in the world? |
6049 | Then what will become of all those that creep into the society of God''s people without a wedding garment on? |
6049 | Then what will become of all those that mock at the second coming of the Man Christ, as do the Ranters, Quakers, drunkards, and the like? |
6049 | Then will not you yourself confess, that he is deluded, that is persuaded to follow that light that can not reveal Christ unto him? |
6049 | Then would you have none pray but those that know they are the disciples of Christ? |
6049 | Then, I pray thee, let me inquire a little of thee, what provision thou hast made for thy soul? |
6049 | Then, O that I might have a little ease for my deceitful tongue? |
6049 | Then, as it seems, sometimes you got rid of your trouble? |
6049 | Then, directing his speech to Ignorance, he said, Come, how do you? |
6049 | Then, said I, a man, it seems, may report it for a truth? |
6049 | Then, why may not I doubt that I may be one of these? |
6049 | There are but three or four: and can not God miss them, and save me for all them? |
6049 | There are mansion- houses, beds of glory, and places to walk in among the angels; and who knows what they are? |
6049 | There are rewards for services, and labour of love showed to God''s name here; and who knows what they will be? |
6049 | There is but one law- giver, That''s able to destroy and to deliver; Who then art thou that dost condemn thy neighbour? |
6049 | There is death? |
6049 | There is heaven itself, the imperial heaven; does any body know what that is? |
6049 | There is hope, another grace of the Spirit bestowed upon us; and how often is that also, as to the excellency of working, made to flag? |
6049 | There is immortality and eternal life: and who knows what they are? |
6049 | There is in the text an intimation of a sense of torment''Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'' |
6049 | There is never a rebel in heaven against God, and if he should so deal on earth, must it not whirl thee down to hell? |
6049 | There is reverence, fear, and standing in awe of God''s Word and judgments, where are the excellent workings thereof to be found? |
6049 | There is the mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, and the innumerable company of angels; doth any body know what all they are? |
6049 | There will be badges of honour, harps to make merry with, and heavenly songs of triumph; doth any here know what they are? |
6049 | Thereat Mercy said, And why so envious, trow? |
6049 | Therefor, speak plainly; Dost thou believe that that man Christ Jesus is ascended from his people in his person? |
6049 | Therefore from that time that he heard that word,"Why persecutest thou me?" |
6049 | Therefore in this sense it may be said,''Where is the fury of the oppressor?'' |
6049 | Therefore is that in the Psalms read both ways, shall I look to the mountains? |
6049 | Therefore let him still humble himself before his God, because his hand is upon him, and say, What sin is this, for which this hand of God is upon me? |
6049 | Therefore the soul is it which is said to love God--''Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?'' |
6049 | Therefore to answer this, here we have a breadth, a spreading breadth;"I spread my skirt over thee": But how far? |
6049 | Therefore try a little, Do they slight God''s Christ, which is the Son of the Virgin? |
6049 | Therefore what need have they that I should work such a miracle, as to send one from the dead unto them? |
6049 | Therefore, I say, this gate was not measured; for what should a rule do here, where things are beyond all measure? |
6049 | Therefore, how can you bear the face to come to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Therefore, this would still stick with me, How can you tell that you are elected? |
6049 | Therefore, wherefore? |
6049 | These are also taken notice of in Job, and go there also by the name of wicked men:"Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? |
6049 | These are my fears of him too; but who can hinder that which will be? |
6049 | These bloody sacrifices, what did they signify, what were they figures of, but of the bloody sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ? |
6049 | These kill the heart; for who can bear up under the guilt of sin? |
6049 | They added also, We see it is well with you, but how must it go with the town of Mansoul? |
6049 | They are all gone out of the way; how then can they walk therein? |
6049 | They are fallen from grace, and what can help them? |
6049 | They are indeed reprobates who have not Christ within them; but now, how is thy folly manifest? |
6049 | They are the salt of the earth, shall not they be seasoning? |
6049 | They bless, they all bless; they thank, they all thank; and wilt thou hold thy tongue? |
6049 | They gather it indeed, and think to keep it too, but what says Solomon? |
6049 | They may, with confidence, say, Lord, Lord, have we not eaten and drank in Thy presence, and taught in Thy name, and in Thy name have cast out devils? |
6049 | They said( it was when I was in my troubles), What shall we do with this woman? |
6049 | They shall come, say you, but how if they be blind, and see not the way? |
6049 | They shall, you say; but how if they will not; and, if so, then what can Shall- come do? |
6049 | They spake not aright, saying, what have I done? |
6049 | They:--Who? |
6049 | Think thus with thyself, What, shall I lose a long heaven for short pleasure? |
6049 | Think you that they upon whom the tower of Siloam fell, were sinners above others? |
6049 | Think, therefore, with thyself thus, What was it that at first did wound my heart? |
6049 | Thinkest thou not, who readest these lines, that all of these who had before committed their soul to God to keep were the fittest folk to die? |
6049 | Thinkest thou that thou shalt weather it out well enough at the day of judgment? |
6049 | Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou didst put the lie upon my Father, and madest him, to Mansoul, the greatest deluder in the world? |
6049 | Thinkest thou this to be right? |
6049 | Thinkest thou, reader, that the scripture hath two faces, and speaketh with two mouths? |
6049 | Third, Art thou coming to Jesus Christ? |
6049 | Third, But wilt thou yet plead thy righteousness for mercy? |
6049 | Third, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered in the first place to the biggest sinners? |
6049 | Thirdly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed? |
6049 | Thirdly, What was the dry bones that we read of in the 37th of Ezekiel, but the church of God, and also a figure of what we are treating of? |
6049 | This beginning was bad, but what shall I say? |
6049 | This brings us to the most important of all the subjects of self- examination-- am I one of the''righteous''? |
6049 | This dastardly heart of ours, when shall it be more subdued and trodden under foot of faith? |
6049 | This doctrine Christ teacheth when he saith,"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? |
6049 | This is but a falsehood and a slander, for the unregenerate know him not; how then can they believe on him? |
6049 | This is but reasonable; for if Christ stands up to plead for us, why should not we stand up to plead for him? |
6049 | This is manifest by the very name of the tree; it is called the tree of knowledge of good and evil; and have you that knowledge as yet? |
6049 | This is much; but is God connected with this? |
6049 | This is not a sign that you fear me, ye offer the blind for sacrifices, where is my fear? |
6049 | This is of absolute necessity; for how can or shall a man be willing to come to Christ that knows not what he is, what God has appointed him to do? |
6049 | This is plain, not only to sense, but by the natural scope of the words,''What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'' |
6049 | This is the common language,''if our transgressions be upon us, and we pine away in them, How should we then live?'' |
6049 | This is the fear that made the three thousand cry out,"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" |
6049 | This is the reason of this inquiry, Did you come in at the gate? |
6049 | This is the time, then, for Christ to stand up to plead; for now there is room for such a question- Can David''s sin stand with grace? |
6049 | This is your hour, said He, and the power of darkness, when He cried out,''My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?'' |
6049 | This last has the body for his watch- house; the eyes and ears for his port- holes; the tongue therewith to cry, Who comes there? |
6049 | This man is minded to give more to be damned, than God requires he should give to be saved; is not this an extravagant one? |
6049 | This may be answered by the question-- Was Peter justified in leaving the prison, and going to the prayer- meeting at Mary''s house? |
6049 | This question, I briefly ask thee,"Had Christ a body of flesh before the world began?" |
6049 | This righteousness of God- man, this righteousness of Christ? |
6049 | This snare will bring thee back again to the pit, which is hell, and then how wilt thou do to be rid of thy fear? |
6049 | This text utterly excludes the law-- what law? |
6049 | This to reason is very dreadful; for it cuts the soul down to the ground;''for a wounded spirit who[ none] can bear?'' |
6049 | This was honest and plain; but what said Mr. Badman to her? |
6049 | This wicked world doth sentence us for our good deeds, but how then would they sentence us for our bad ones? |
6049 | This word created, is added, on purpose to show that the world is under the power of his hand; for who can destroy, but he that can create? |
6049 | This, I say, is a character above all angels; for, as the apostle said,''To which of the angels said He at anytime,''Thou art my Son?'' |
6049 | This; Which? |
6049 | Those of the children of Israel that went from Egypt, and entered the land of Canaan, how came they thither? |
6049 | Thou art in a strait, wilt thou fly before Moses, or with David fall into the hands of the Lord? |
6049 | Thou biddest them be merry and lightsome; but dost thou not know that"the heart of fools is in the house of mirth?" |
6049 | Thou booby, say''st thou nothing but Cuckoo? |
6049 | Thou didst so wonderfully pour out thy wrath upon him, to the making of him cry out,''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'' |
6049 | Thou hast already been unfaithful in thy service to Him; and how dost thou think to receive wages of Him? |
6049 | Thou hast been a cumber- ground[104] long already, and wilt thou continue so still? |
6049 | Thou horrible wretch, dost not know that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now? |
6049 | Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou has sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now? |
6049 | Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost think to find mercy now? |
6049 | Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now? |
6049 | Thou mayest also doubt18 thy thoughts of the damned thus: If these poor creatures were in the world again, would they sin as they did before? |
6049 | Thou mayest by thy fear be driven away from God, from his worship, people, and ways, but what will that avail? |
6049 | Thou professest thou believest in Christ: is he thy joy, and the life of thy soul? |
6049 | Thou professest to believe thou hast a share in another world: hast thou let got THIS, barren fig- tree? |
6049 | Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his promise, or that he ever deceived the soul that ventured itself upon him? |
6049 | Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his promise, or that he ever deceived the soul that ventured itself upon him?'' |
6049 | Thou seemest angry, why dost on us frown? |
6049 | Thou simple bird, what makes thou here to play? |
6049 | Thou standest to thy righteousness, what dost thou mean? |
6049 | Thou subject are to cold o''nights, When darkness is thy covering; At days thy danger''s great by kites, How can''st thou then sit there and sing? |
6049 | Thou talkest like one upon whose head is the shell to this very day; for what should he pawn them, or to whom should he sell them? |

6049 | Why, then, is it said God beholdeth every one that is proud, and abases him? |
6049 | Why, then, should we conceit that the Son will forgive these that come not to the Father by him? |
6049 | Why, then, should you not judge of those that differ from you herein, as you judged of yourselves when you were as they now are? |

6049 | Wicked men talk of heaven, and say they hope and desire to go to heaven, even while they continue wicked men; but, I say, what would they do there? |
6049 | Will He esteem thy riches? |
6049 | Will He within Open to sorry me, though I have been An undeserving rebel? |
6049 | Will a less thing than heaven, than glory and eternal life, answer thy desires? |
6049 | Will a man give a penny to fill his belly with hay; or can you persuade the turtle- dove to live upon carrion like the crow? |

6049 | Will it not be amazing to some of the damned themselves, to see some come to hell that then they shall see come thither? |
6049 | Will it not be glorious for thee to be in glory with them, while others are in unutterable torments? |
6049 | Will it not be glorious to enjoy those things that eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man to conceive? |

6049 | Wilt thou be like that simple one named in the seventh of Proverbs, that will be drawn to the slaughter by the cord of a silly lust? |
6049 | Wilt thou be like the bird that hasteth to the snare of the fowler? |
6049 | Wilt thou be like the silly fly, that is not quiet unless she be either entangled in the spider''s web, or burned in the candle? |
6049 | Wilt thou be so sottish and unwise, as to venture thy soul upon a little uncertain time? |

6049 | Wilt thou, then, lose this Christ, this food, this pleasure, this heaven, this happiness, for a thing of nought? |
6049 | With how many oaths, declarations, attestations, and proclamations, is it avouched, confirmed, and established? |
6049 | With promises, did I say? |
6049 | With respect to thy desires, what are they? |
6049 | With that, one of them said, Who is your God? |
6049 | Without a watch, resist a foe who can? |
6049 | Witness they that live in hell; if it be proper to say they live in hell? |
6049 | Women may, yea ought to pray; what then? |

6049 | [ 140] Now the King, at the sight of the petition, was glad; but how much more think you, when it was seconded by his Son? |
6049 | [ 148] When he had left her, Prudence said, Did I not tell thee, that Mr. Brisk would soon forsake thee? |
6049 | [ 14] But I beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him what he did there? |
6049 | [ 15] But now, when did the day of grace end with this man? |
6049 | [ 15] Was this love of God extended to him because of his personal virtues? |
6049 | [ 162] Is not this too much the case with professors of this day? |
6049 | [ 163] Can a man enter upon the work of the ministry from a better school than this? |
6049 | [ 163] What is this something that By- ends knew more than all the world? |
6049 | [ 167] Pretended friends come with such expostulations as these: Why, dear Sir, will you give such offence? |
6049 | [ 17] But is he now quit? |
6049 | [ 17] Can it be imagined that when the wicked are in this distress, but that they will desire to be saved? |
6049 | [ 192] Look, said Christian, did not I tell you so? |
6049 | [ 192]What must the pure and holy Jesus have suffered when He tasted death in all its bitterness? |
6049 | [ 194] So on they went, and Joseph said, Can not we see to the end of this Valley as yet? |
6049 | [ 1] Was Christ slothful in the work of your redemption? |
6049 | [ 217] Mr. Wingate asked Bunyan why he did not follow his calling and go to church? |
6049 | [ 21] What do all their acts declare, but this, that they either know not God, or fear not what he can do unto them? |
6049 | [ 21]If it be asked, Why take your unregenerate children, and invite the ungodly, to the place of worship? |
6049 | [ 228] Then said Christian, What means this? |
6049 | [ 231] Then said Hopeful to the Shepherds, I perceive that these had on them, even every one, a show of pilgrimage, as we have now; had they not? |
6049 | [ 238] Now, is it not very common to hear professors talk at this rate? |
6049 | [ 242] Then they asked Mr. Feeble- mind how he fell into his hands? |
6049 | [ 248] What was this good thing? |
6049 | [ 24] Seest thou the poor? |
6049 | [ 254] Who can stand in the evil day of temptation, when beset with Faint- heart, Mistrust, and Guilt, backed by the power of their master, Satan? |
6049 | [ 257] Then said Mr. Contrite to them, Pray how fareth it with you in your pilgrimage? |
6049 | [ 25] The trial we have before God is of otherguise importance,[26] it concerns our eternal happiness or misery; and yet dare we affront him? |
6049 | [ 267] Also, are we not now to walk by faith? |
6049 | [ 268] What can not Great- heart do? |
6049 | [ 276] Then said the Pilgrims, What means this? |
6049 | [ 27] Well, but whither do they go, that are thus gone out of the temple or church of God? |
6049 | [ 284] Then said Christian to Hopeful( but softly), Did I not tell you he cared not for our company? |
6049 | [ 288] How, then, dost thou say, I believe in Christ? |
6049 | [ 296] Then they said- Well, Ignorance, wilt thou yet foolish be, To slight good counsel, ten times given thee? |
6049 | [ 2] And why is MY rank so mean, that the most gracious and godly among you, may not duly and soberly consider of what I have said? |
6049 | [ 2] He asked the constable what we did, where we were met together, and what we had with us? |
6049 | [ 2]( Psa 8:3,4) Now in the creation of the world we may consider several things; as, What was the order of God in this work? |
6049 | [ 309] My soul, what''s lighter than a feather? |
6049 | [ 311] Who are these ministering spirits, that the author calls"men"? |
6049 | [ 312] Is she not rightly named Bubble? |
6049 | [ 312] What are these two difficulties? |
6049 | [ 31] And how many times are they that fear God said to be delivered both by God and his holy angels? |
6049 | [ 338]''Why was the brazen laver made of the women''s looking- glasses? |
6049 | [ 33] What is this to me, O law, that thou accusest me, and sayest that I have committed many sins? |
6049 | [ 35]This should prompt every professing Christian to self- examination-- Am I of the raven class, or that of the dove? |
6049 | [ 38] But is our present need all the need that we are like to have, and the present work all the work that we have to do in the world? |
6049 | [ 39] Then said Christian, What means this? |
6049 | [ 39] Will it be comfort to thee to see the Saviour turn Judge? |
6049 | [ 3]"What shall I do?" |
6049 | [ 44] Sir, is it not time for me to go on my way now? |
6049 | [ 45]"In the midst of these heavenly instructions, why in such haste to go?" |
6049 | [ 47] Then said the Interpreter to Christian, Hast thou considered all these things? |
6049 | [ 59] What is this garden but the world? |
6049 | [ 5] The genuine disciple"who thinketh no evil"will say, Can this be so now? |
6049 | [ 5] Where is the man, except he be a willful perverter of Divine truth, who can charge the doctrines of grace with licentiousness? |
6049 | [ 60] What are these ill- favoured ones? |
6049 | [ 62] But why go back again? |
6049 | [ 6] I looked then, and saw a man named Evangelist coming to him, who asked,"Where fore dost thou cry?" |
6049 | [ 6] Would you be ready to die in peace? |
6049 | [ 77] What say you, O my Mansoul? |
6049 | [ 78] But shall we be flattered out of our lives? |
6049 | [ 89]''Thou hast given credit to the truth''; what is this but faith-- the faith of the operation of God? |
6049 | [ 8] Barren fig- tree, can it be imagined that those that paint themselves did ever repent of their pride? |
6049 | [ 8] Before they took him his intent was to preach on these words,''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?'' |
6049 | [ 8] If thou now say, Which is the way? |
6049 | [ 99] Is there righteousness in Christ? |
6049 | [ But, pray, what talk have the people about him? |
6049 | [ Does it stun them?] |
6049 | [ How should we strive?] |
6049 | [ I reply] If thou hadst said, I worship her Son, thou hadst said truly( I hope) But is not thy spite more against her son, than her? |
6049 | [ WHAT ARE THE DESIRES OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN?] |
6049 | [ WHO IS THE RIGHTEOUS MAN?] |
6049 | [ Why should we strive?] |
6049 | [ that is, to bring Christ down from above:] or, Who shall descend into the deep? |
6049 | a promise that declares, yea, that engageth Christ Jesus to open his heart to receive the coming sinner? |
6049 | a promise that looks at the first moving of the heart after Jesus Christ? |
6049 | afraid to go to Joseph''s house? |
6049 | all who? |
6049 | always at it? |
6049 | and again, He beholds the proud afar off? |
6049 | and again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? |
6049 | and again,"O death, where is thy sting? |
6049 | and also how God doth make a man righteous with it? |
6049 | and are not men the more noble part in all the churches of Christ? |
6049 | and are notions and whimsies of such credit with thee that thou must leave the foundation to follow them? |
6049 | and are these Christian''s children? |
6049 | and are you stronger than He? |
6049 | and art thou for ever resolved so to do? |
6049 | and be The words of God in truth thy prop and stay? |
6049 | and behold the height of the stars, how high they are?" |
6049 | and by seeing the beams and sweet influences of the sun strike downwards? |
6049 | and canst thou find in thy heart to labour to lay more sins upon His back? |
6049 | and comes as it were to the borders of doubt, saying,''Who shall deliver me?'' |
6049 | and darkness and tempests? |
6049 | and did no more of them but you come out to escape the danger? |
6049 | and do not the members receive their whole light, guidance, and wisdom from it? |
6049 | and do you question the resurrection of the body? |
6049 | and dost thou mingle thy tears with thy drink? |
6049 | and dost thou sigh and mourn in secret? |
6049 | and doth God testify that thy desire is true, not feigned? |
6049 | and doth your life and conversation testify the same? |
6049 | and falsify their words for thee? |
6049 | and fears as he desires to fear God''s name? |
6049 | and for what are they hanged there? |
6049 | and from whence would the flaming flame ascend highest, and make the most roaring noise? |
6049 | and going on pilgrimage too? |
6049 | and hast not thou been led by a lying spirit also, in wresting of my words as thou hast done? |
6049 | and have you consented to stand by their opinion? |
6049 | and he that is called to glory and virtue, shall not he add to his faith virtue? |
6049 | and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?" |
6049 | and how could Abel be yet pleasing in his sight, for the sake of his own righteousness, when it is plain that Abel had not yet done good works? |
6049 | and how far go you this way? |
6049 | and how if all our faith, and Christ, and Scriptures, should be but a think- so too? |
6049 | and how shall he be convinced of eternal judgment, if you persuade him, that when he is dead, he shall not at all rise? |
6049 | and how they hold back good from us? |
6049 | and how we may be more holy and more humble towards God, and more charitable and more serviceable to one another? |
6049 | and how? |
6049 | and if I be a Master, where is my fear? |
6049 | and if they think they shall know and do these, why not know others, and rejoice in their welfare also? |
6049 | and if to two, why not to four, and so to eight? |
6049 | and in Thy name have cast out devils?" |
6049 | and in thy name done many wonderful works?" |
6049 | and in thy name done many wonderful works?" |
6049 | and in thy name have cast out devils? |
6049 | and in thy name have cast out devils? |
6049 | and is God''s love and care of the salvation of the souls of sinners infinitely greater than is their own care for their own souls? |
6049 | and is all that thou hast to be ventured for his name in this world? |
6049 | and is also the life of Jesus''made manifest in thy mortal body?'' |
6049 | and is goodness seen in thy seeking the life or the damage of thy enemy? |
6049 | and is he more precious to thee than the whole world? |
6049 | and is not that a good life that is according to God''s commandments? |
6049 | and is not the light of God sufficient in itself, to lead to God all that follow it, yea, or nay?" |
6049 | and is not this thus much, are not all they reprobates( say you) but they in whim Christ is within? |
6049 | and is there knowledge in the Most High?'' |
6049 | and is there not like reason for it? |
6049 | and loves as he desires to love? |
6049 | and may I lodge here tonight? |
6049 | and of choosing what you judge is right, whether they conclude with you or no? |
6049 | and says another, Would you have us make ourselves ridiculous? |
6049 | and shall I Not love a saint? |
6049 | and shall I count anything too dear for Him? |
6049 | and shall I hate his child, nor hear his wants that call For my little assisting of him? |
6049 | and shall none be angry at it? |
6049 | and shall not I exercise my mind about it? |
6049 | and should a man full of talk be justified? |
6049 | and so, consequently, say unto God,"Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways; or, What is the Almighty that we should serve him? |
6049 | and that Christ hath marked and recorded for such an one? |
6049 | and that also against which the spirit lusteth? |
6049 | and that eternal life with God''s favour, is better than a temporal life in God''s displeasure? |
6049 | and that made the jailer cry out, and that with great trembling of soul,"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" |
6049 | and that, AFTER the angel had fled through the midst of heaven, preaching the gospel to those that dwell on the earth? |
6049 | and the company of God, Christ, saints, and angels, be better than the company of Cain, Judas, Balaam, with the devils in the furnace of fire? |
6049 | and therefore that it ought to be departed from, who knows not? |
6049 | and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?" |
6049 | and to be had upon no lower rates than thy immortal soul? |
6049 | and to say now, Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner? |
6049 | and to what did they make him stoop? |
6049 | and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" |
6049 | and unquiet and troublesome, discontented, and seeking to be revenged of thy persecutors; where is, or what kind of grace hast thou got? |
6049 | and until you could by faith own it as done for you, and counted yours by reputation, yea, or no? |
6049 | and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?'' |
6049 | and what communion hath light with darkness? |
6049 | and what communion hath light with darkness? |
6049 | and what course should I take to be delivered from this sad and troublesome condition? |
6049 | and what fruits in all their labour? |
6049 | and what hath Emmanuel said? |
6049 | and what he would have? |
6049 | and what is the criterion of Christian charity, except it be''zeal for the salvation of others in his heart?'' |
6049 | and what is the reason of that, but a persuasion that there is no help for him in God? |
6049 | and what is your business here? |
6049 | and what must they do that have none?" |
6049 | and what profit should we have if we pray unto him?'' |
6049 | and what still wilt thou further do, if mercy, and blood and grace doth not prevent thee? |
6049 | and what would you have? |
6049 | and when did I do the other? |
6049 | and when it is committed? |
6049 | and when so like to be weary, as when almost at their journey''s end? |
6049 | and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee an answer[ unashamed?]'' |
6049 | and whence he came? |
6049 | and where is the place of my rest? |
6049 | and where will they be safe in such days? |
6049 | and where, when He speaketh of them, doth He express a communion that they have with Him by the similitude of conjugal love? |
6049 | and whether the holy Scriptures were not rather a fable, and cunning story, than the holy and pure Word of God? |
6049 | and while they thus call themselves, they should be the veriest rogues for all evil, sin, and villainy imaginable, who could help it? |
6049 | and whither are you bound? |
6049 | and who hath brought up these? |
6049 | and who shall repay him what he hath done? |
6049 | and why I did not content myself with following my calling? |
6049 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
6049 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
6049 | and why did he dispraise it, but of a covetous mind to wrong and beguile the seller? |
6049 | and why did he so long for it, but of desire to do us good? |
6049 | and why dost Thou pass such a sad sentence of condemnation upon us? |
6049 | and why is thy countenance fallen?" |
6049 | and why may we not go to Christ in the name of the Father, as well as to the Father in the name of Christ? |
6049 | and why must he make his arrows sharp, and all, that the heart may with this sword and these arrows be shot, wounded, and made to bleed? |
6049 | and will he judge a man just that is a sinner? |
6049 | and will he not be as good to us as to them that have gone before us? |
6049 | and with what body do they come?" |
6049 | and yet all this is included in this word saved, and in the answer to that question,"Are there few that be saved?" |
6049 | and yet doth it yield no good unto us? |
6049 | and, I say, as I said before, in whom is it, light, like so to shine, as in the souls of great sinners? |
6049 | and, Will it go well with the town of Mansoul? |
6049 | and, that some time ago I heard speak well of the holy word of God? |
6049 | and,''Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?'' |
6049 | and,''What wouldst thou have me do?'' |
6049 | any him that cometh to thee? |
6049 | are not even ye that have been converted by us? |
6049 | are not the poor saints now in this city? |
6049 | are not the things that are eternal best? |
6049 | are not they concerned in these instructions? |
6049 | are not thy kindred as hardened as thou wast? |
6049 | are these the effects of a purblind spirit? |
6049 | are these the tokens of a blessed man? |
6049 | are they all Esau''s indeed? |
6049 | are they forgotten? |
6049 | are they not rather the fruits of an eagle- eyed confidence? |
6049 | are they thrown over the bar? |
6049 | are they weaned from that milk, and drawn from the breasts? |
6049 | are we better than they? |
6049 | are we better than they? |
6049 | are we better than they?" |
6049 | are we stronger than He?'' |
6049 | are ye made to be taken and destroyed? |
6049 | are you not ashamed of your doings? |
6049 | are you not ashamed of your doings? |
6049 | are you that countryman, then? |
6049 | arise: why standest thou still? |
6049 | art thou become like unto us?'' |
6049 | art thou one of them that hast cast off fear? |
6049 | art thou resolved to sleep the sleep of death? |
6049 | art thou weary? |
6049 | art thou willing? |
6049 | be persuaded to pause a moment, and ask yourself the question- What is my case? |
6049 | because Christ is our pattern, is he not our passover? |
6049 | because they would adorn the gospel? |
6049 | because they would beautify religion, and make sinners to fall in love with their own salvation? |
6049 | behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can not contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?'' |
6049 | besides there is hell itself, the place itself, the fire itself, the nature of the torments, and the durableness of them, who can understand? |
6049 | but can it turn all things into grace? |
6049 | but doth thy life and conversation declare thee to be such an one? |
6049 | but how much is there of it?'' |
6049 | but how shall I come by them? |
6049 | but may it not be as strongly supposed that the presence and blessing of the Lord Jesus, with his ministers, is laid upon the same ground also? |
6049 | but what was that gospel you preached? |
6049 | but where are thy fruits, barren fig- tree? |
6049 | but why did you not shew me my evil in thus calling it, when opposed to the substance, and the thing signified? |
6049 | but why didst thou not confess what thou hadst done then? |
6049 | but why offended at this? |
6049 | but, Hath he fruit? |
6049 | but, Were you doers, or talkers only? |
6049 | can he judge through the dark cloud?" |
6049 | can it make all things work together for good? |
6049 | can not you be satisfied without you have peace with God? |
6049 | can not you help me? |
6049 | can the floods drown it? |
6049 | can these be possessed with this grace of fear? |
6049 | can we suppose he will now admit of the wit and contrivance of men in those things that are, in comparison to them, the heavenly things themselves? |
6049 | canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?'' |
6049 | canst thou give no better counsel touching those whom God hath wounded, than to send them to the ordinances of hell for help? |
6049 | canst thou imagine that such a gnat, a flea, a pismire as thou art, can take and possess the heavens, and mantle thyself up in the eternal glories? |
6049 | canst thou judge no better? |
6049 | canst thou think that God hath given thee this that thou mightest thereby make a prey of thy neighbour? |
6049 | cast a world behind thy back for the welfare of a soul? |
6049 | consent and nothing else? |
6049 | count convictions for sin, mournings for sin, and repentance for sin, melancholy? |
6049 | deeper than hell; what canst thou know? |
6049 | did he die before he was born again? |
6049 | did he die in unbelief? |
6049 | did he light upon you? |
6049 | did he not behave himself valiantly? |
6049 | did they now choose him to be their king? |
6049 | did they say, did they do nothing while they sat before the throne? |
6049 | did you see how I turned again to those vanities from which some time before I fell? |
6049 | did your neighbours talk so? |
6049 | do they not tend to surfeit the heart, and to alienate a man and his mind from the things that are better? |
6049 | do they use to show such kind of favours to traitors? |
6049 | do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?'' |
6049 | do you design the glory of God, in the salvation of your soul? |
6049 | do you not understand that God is resolved to have the mastery one way or another? |
6049 | do you think she will go? |
6049 | dost the wanton play, Or doth thy testy humour tend its way? |
6049 | dost thou know what thou art? |
6049 | dost thou not know that thou by so doing deferrest the coming of thy dearest Lord? |
6049 | dost thou say that that which thou callest the light of Christ, is the Spirit of Christ? |
6049 | dost thou think that God, Christ, Prophets, and Scriptures, will all lie for thee? |
6049 | dost thou think to run fast enough with the world, thy sins and lusts in thy heart? |
6049 | doth his coming to Jesus Christ offend thee? |
6049 | doth his forsaking of his sins and pleasures offend thee? |
6049 | doth his pursuing of his own salvation offend thee? |
6049 | doth not this man deserve to be ranked among the extravagant ones? |
6049 | doth she give up her faith and hope, and return to that fear that begot the first bondage? |
6049 | doth this yield thee inward pleasedness of mind, and a kind of secret sweetness, or bow? |
6049 | fear God and a liar, and one that cries for mercies to spend them upon thy lusts? |
6049 | fear God and be proud, and covetous, a wine- bibber, and a riotous eater of flesh? |
6049 | fear God without a change of heart and life? |
6049 | fear God, and in a state of nature? |
6049 | flow they not, think you, from faith of the finest sort, and are they not bred in the bosom of a truly mortified soul? |
6049 | for a man must know before he does, else how should he divert[13] himself to do? |
6049 | for it is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? |
6049 | for legal grounds, though not expressed? |
6049 | for providing friends to receive him to harbour when others should turn him out of their doors? |
6049 | for to do things, but not in God''s fear, to what will it amount? |
6049 | for to him I would deliver my message?'' |
6049 | had he faith and holiness? |
6049 | has God bestowed a contrite spirit upon thee? |
6049 | has not this river pleasant streams? |
6049 | hast thou cried out? |
6049 | hast thou cried? |
6049 | hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not? |
6049 | hath it ears? |
6049 | hath it eyes? |
6049 | have I been unfaithful to Him? |
6049 | have they not in them power to loose the bands of nature, and to harden the soul against sorrow? |
6049 | having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?'' |
6049 | he that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? |
6049 | he that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
6049 | he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?" |
6049 | how came the prophet by this sight? |
6049 | how can he see? |
6049 | how can that be, since they are hurtful? |
6049 | how canst thou deal so unkindly with such a sweet Lord Jesus? |
6049 | how could he bear the face to do it? |
6049 | how crossly he thinks? |
6049 | how doth he behave himself in his presence? |
6049 | how few be there in the world whose heart and mouth in prayer shall go together? |
6049 | how he found that which some of his children sought and missed? |
6049 | how hot will that make wrath? |
6049 | how long has it lasted? |
6049 | how many lashes with God''s iron whip dost thou deserve? |
6049 | how much of his Spirit, and the grace of his Word? |
6049 | how poorly will these be able to plead the virtues of the law to which they have cleaved, when God shall answer them,''Whom dost thou pass in beauty? |
6049 | how readest thou? |
6049 | how shall I come at Christ? |
6049 | how shall I pass through this dark entry into another world? |
6049 | how she flies and sings,[20] But could she do so if she had not wings? |
