18191''Who does not know,''exclaims his own pupil Hippolytus,''the books of Irenæus and Melito and the rest, which declare Christ to be God and man?''
1819121 sq)?
1819131, v. 24; Caius( Hippolytus?)
1819134),''O, Jerusalem, Jerusalem,..._ how often_ would I have gathered thy children together''?
1819160, with which it coincides?
18191And what room, we are forced to ask, has he left for such a dogma?
18191And when Judas the traitor did not believe, and asked,''How shall such growths be accomplished by the Lord?''
18191But if the Curetonian letters are the genuine work of Ignatius, what must we say of the Vossian?
18191But if this be so, what becomes of the disparagement of written Gospels, which is confidently asserted by our author and others?
18191But if this was the motive of the insertion, what was its source?
18191But in this latter case, if they had the second treatise which bears the name of St Luke in their hands, why should they not have had the first also?
18191But is it certain that he is not mentioned elsewhere?
18191But is there anything really characteristic of Marcion in the description?
18191But what purpose was served by thus importing into his notes a mass of borrowed and unsorted references?
18191But what then?
18191But what was its nature and purport?
18191But what, if the comparison which Papias had in view was wholly different?
18191But what, if the writer of these fragments was not an''isolated convert to the views of Victor,''but a Quartodeciman himself?
18191But where did he find this false exegesis?
18191But who could have supposed that this was our author''s meaning?
18191But, if our author disposes of the coincidences with the Third Gospel in this way, what will he say to those with the Acts?
18191But, if so, how came it to find a place in the copies of St John''s Gospel?
18191But, if so, how came the name of Irenæus to be attached to it?
18191Can we imagine that the documents which Irenæus regards in this light had been produced during his own lifetime?
18191Can we suppose that he meant anything else but the Old Testament Scriptures by this expression?
18191Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest''?
18191Does it not occur to him that he is here cutting the throat of his own argument?
18191How comes it then, that he was not set right by one or other of these many writers, even if he could not construe Credner''s German?
18191How then can we explain the statement of Epiphanius?
18191How, again, has our author learnt that Eusebius''knows nothing of his having composed such a work''?
18191In an earlier part of this same fifth book Irenæus writes[ 198:2]:-- Where then was the first man placed?
18191Is the historical position which the writer of this letter takes up at all like the invention of a forger?
18191Is the language which I have used at all stronger than our author''s own on this point?
18191Is there any reason to think that Papias did directly occupy himself with this subject?
18191Is there reason to believe that the authority in these two passages is the same or different?
18191Is this a true description of the world in the early Christian ages?
18191Is this at all unnatural?
18191Is this the language of one speaking of a book to which''he attached little or no value''?
18191May not the two have been connected together in the context of Papias, as they are in the notice of Eusebius?
18191May not this have been the same person?
18191Must not anyone reading the apology to Dr Westcott, contained in the note quoted above, necessarily carry off a wholly false impression of the facts?
18191Of what then?
18191Shall we understand the word''exposition''to mean''enarration,''or''explanation''?
18191This universal''brotherhood of man,''what is it but a''dogma''of the most comprehensive application?
18191Was I altogether without ground for this belief?
18191Was he, or was he not, as these critics affirm, a Judaic Christian of strongly Ebionite tendencies?
18191Was the author''s main object to construct a new Evangelical narrative, or to interpret and explain one or more already in circulation?
18191Was there then any possibility of a mistake here?
18191Was this mere accident?
18191What can this mean?
18191What first did he write to you in the beginning of the Gospel?
18191What ground is there then for the assumption that Clement did not mention Apollinaris, because Eusebius has not recorded the fact?
18191What is the historical significance of this phenomenon?
18191What is the meaning of all this coincidence of view?
18191What then is the natural interpretation of the title''Exposition of Oracles of''( or''relating to'')''the Lord''?
18191What then is the value of a principle which, when applied in a simple case, leads to conclusions diametrically opposed to historical facts?
18191What wonder then that the Philippians should have asked him to write to them?
18191What, if he adduced this testimony of the Presbyter to explain how St Mark''s Gospel differed not from another Synoptic narrative, but_ from St John_?
18191What?
18191Where did he learn this''certain''piece of information that Tatian thought lightly of St Paul?
18191Who would think of throwing discredit on Lord Macaulay or Mr Freeman, because Robertson or Hume may be inaccurate?
18191Why did Papias introduce this notice of the Hebrew original of St Matthew?
18191Why may not Apollinaris have been included among these''certain others''whom Clement quoted?
18191Would any one, without a preconceived theory, imagine that''exposition''here meant anything else but explanation or interpretation?
18191Yea, and Polycarp himself also on one occasion, when Marcion confronted him and said,''Dost thou recognize me?''
18191Yes, but at what time?
18191[ 127:2] Why then did he translate the oblique construction as if it were direct?
18191[ 163:1] But, if Papias used written documents as the text for his''expositions,''can we identify these?
18191[ 28:1] All this is well said, but is it consistent?
18191and if he does know it, why has he left his readers entirely in the dark on this subject?
18191and that they had taken their position at once by the side of the Law and the Psalmist and the Prophets, as the very voice of God?
18191depend much more on the narrative of God''s dealings than of His words?
18191that they had sprung up suddenly full- armed from the earth, no one could say how?
18191that they never betray a consciousness that any Church or Churchman had ever questioned it?
18191that they not only receive it, but assume its reception from the beginning?
18191v. 13)?
16857Indeed, Master? 16857 --Who are my mother and my brethren?"
16857A place of punishment exists; to what quarter shall we look for its anterior probability?
16857A sterile solitariness, easily understandable, and presumably incommunicative?
16857Add also here; is it probable there would be any needless interval placed to pröcreations?
16857Again: as to the latter question; was it probable that such so- called sub- divisions should be two, or three, or how many?
16857Again: what should Joshua want with the moon for daylight, to help him to rout the foes of God more fiercely?
16857And if any one should ask, how was such a system more likely to arise under a Gentile rather than a Jewish theocracy?
16857And if others fall away, or do ought else than my bidding, what is that to thee?
16857And is it not so?
16857And is it not so?
16857And is it not so?

14780But what are these consequences?
14780Could they expect it from the people,"whose acknowledged confidence in the public religion"they subverted from its foundation?
14780Could they hope to escape the dangers in which he had perished?
14780Did Huss or Jerome in Bohemia?
14780Did Luther in Germany, Zuinglius in Switzerland, Calvin in France, or any of the reformers advance this plea?"
14780Did Wickliffe in England pretend to it?
14780Did the applauded intercommunity of the pagan theology preserve the peace of the Roman world?
14780Do ye not understand that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
14780Does it check the inference which we draw from the confessed beneficence of the provision?
14780For what are we comparing?
14780From whence did these come?
14780Has it anything to do with it?
14780Has the necessity of this alternative been demonstrated?
14780Hath Poland fallen by a Christian crusade?
14780Hath any founder of a new sect amongst Christians pretended to miraculous powers, and succeeded by his pretensions?
14780Hath the overthrow in France of civil order and security been effected by the votaries of our religion, or by the foes?
14780He censured an overstrained scrupulousness, or perhaps an affectation of scrupulousness, about the Sabbath: but how did he censure it?
14780He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare his generation?
14780If bad men, what could have induced them to take such pains to promote virtue?
14780If it be said that this disposition is unattainable, I answer, so is all perfection: ought therefore a moralist to recommend imperfections?
14780If they would not inquire, how should they be convinced?
14780In these two latter instances the question proposed was,"What shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
14780Is it a probability approaching to certainty?
14780Is it a probability of any great strength or force?
14780Is it for that they contain accounts of supernatural events?
14780Is it incredible that God should interpose for such a purpose?
14780Is it not sufficient for them, that we have sent down unto them the book of the Koran to be read unto them?"
14780Is it such as no evidence can encounter?
14780Lastly, where do we discern a stronger mark of candour, or less disposition to extol and magnify, than in the conclusion of the same history?
14780Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
14780Now how does this apply to the Christian history?
14780Now in what way can a revelation be made, but by miracles?
14780Now upon the subject of the truth of the Christian religion; with us there is but one question, viz., whether the miracles were actually wrought?
14780Now, how does the history of the age correspond with this account?
14780Now, how stands the proof of this point?
14780Or are our modern unbelievers in Christianity, for that reason, in danger of becoming Mahometans or Hindoos?
14780Or shall we say that some early Christians of taste and education composed these pieces and ascribed them to Christ?
14780Our Saviour, speaking to Peter of John, said,"If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"''
14780Saint Paul addresses this person as a Jew:"King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets?
14780Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
14780Suppose him to design for mankind a future state; is it unlikely that he should acquaint him with it?
14780The next words to these,"who shall declare his generation?"
14780The only question which, in my opinion, can be raised upon the subject is, whether the prophecy was really delivered before the event?
14780The question concerning the woman who had been married to seven brothers,"Whose shall she be on the resurrection?"
14780The remaining letters of the apostles,( and what more original than their letters can we have?)
14780The works of Bede exhibit many wonderful relations: but who, for that reason, doubts that they were written by Bede?
14780Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest?"
14780Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us?
14780Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
14780Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat?
14780They are not disposed( and why should they?)
14780They said, therefore, What is this that he saith?
14780This happy peculiarity is a strong proof of the genuineness of these writings: for who should forge them?
14780This question is, in effect, no other than whether the story which Christians have now be the story which Christians had then?
14780This, without ascribing to him at the same time some proofs of his mission,( and what other but supernatural proofs could there be?)
14780Was any reader of English history ever sceptic enough to raise from hence a question whether the Marquis of Argyle was executed or not?
14780Was it bigotry that carried Alexander into the East, or brought Caesar into Gaul?
14780Was it the part of a writer who dealt in suppression and disguise to put down this anecdote?
14780Was our Saviour, in fact, a well instructed philosopher, whilst he is represented to us as an illiterate peasant?
14780What account can be given of the body, upon the supposition of enthusiasm?
14780What could the disciples of Christ expect for themselves when they saw their master put to death?
14780What had the apostles to assist them in propagating Christianity which the missionaries have not?
14780What knew they of grace, of redemption, of justification, of the blood of Christ shed for the sins of men, of reconcilement, of mediation?
14780What was Jesus in external appearance?
14780When was ever a change of religion patronized by infidels?
14780Whence had this man his wisdom?
14780Whereas, may it not be said that irresistible evidence would confound all characters and all dispositions?
14780Who hath believed our report?
14780Who is there that would not wish his son to be a Christian?
14780Who that has any charity?
14780Who was likely to record the travels, sufferings, labours, or successes of the apostles, but one of their own number, or of their followers?
14780Who were his coadjutors in the undertaking,--the persons into whose hands the religion came after his death?
14780Who would write a history of Christianity, but a Christian?
14780Why askest thou me?
14780Why should we question the genuineness of these books?
14780Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power?
14780and in thy name done many wonderful works?
14780and in thy name have cast out devils?
14780and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
14780and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
14780are much cleared up in their meaning by the bishop''s version;"his manner of life who would declare?"
14780did it prevent oppressions, proscriptions, massacres, devastation?
14780i. e. who would stand forth in his defence?
14780or does it make us cease to admire the contrivance?
14780or is this the case with the most useful arts, or the most necessary sciences of human life?
14780who that is compassionate?
42460''Who hath believed our report?
42460''and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
42460), 67---- not by sinners(?
42460And does not the same principle apply in other cases?
42460And first as to their_ motives_, had they any interest in asserting that Christ rose from the dead unless they really believed it?
42460And how could such a story have been current within twenty years of the event, if nothing of the kind had occurred?
42460And if He knows everything, why should He not care about everything?
42460And if he had done so, would not his story have been instantly refuted?
42460And in one passage at least the word_ day_ is used in a similar sense; for we read"Hast thou eyes of flesh or seest thou as man seeth?
42460And is it likely that they would have had any sufficient motive to induce them to make the attempt?
42460And is the inference less clear, if it not only turned out a watch, but a watchmaker as well, and everything else that exists on this planet?
42460And lastly, as to his_ Reasoning_: did he draw the right conclusion?
42460And then, what became of Him afterwards?
42460And this being so, what shall we say of the millions of men who have lived, and are now living, on this earth?
42460And we may ask, how could any writer have asserted all this, even a century afterwards, if no such sign had occurred?
42460And we may ask, is it likely that such a vast scheme should end in failure, or at most in only a temporary success?
42460And we may ask, would an Omnipotent God, Who cared for man''s welfare, have ever designed all this?
42460And what reason have we for thinking that God would change His method now?
42460And what shall we say of Christ''s frequent commands to keep His miracles_ secret_?
42460And when we turn to the only other free being we know of, which is man himself, what do we find?
42460And who will assert that this is an unknown experience?
42460And why?
42460And, we may ask, is it likely that the God Who rules these millions of stars should take any interest in the beings on a small planet like our earth?
42460Are They, for instance, all three Persons?
42460Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man''s days?
42460But again we must ask how did the writer know that such creatures were ever plentiful enough, or important enough, to deserve this special mention?
42460But again we must ask, what was it that enabled the Christians alone in that age of vice and wickedness to lead pure lives?
42460But are they credible?
42460But can we imagine a late writer in Canaan using such a phrase without explaining it?
42460But could a mere human Teacher have had this more than human influence over thousands of converts, most of whom had never seen him?
42460But did they, and do we possess this record in the Pentateuch?
42460But for what is it matured?
42460But how could the writer have known it, unless it had been divinely revealed?
42460But how was it possible for the writer of Genesis to know all this?
42460But is there a life after death?
42460But is this improbability sufficient in all cases to make the event incredible, no matter what testimony there may be in its favour?
42460But it may be said, do not the Gospels themselves contradict one another in some places, and if so they can not all be correct?
42460But it may be said, has it not also done some_ harm_?
42460But it may be said, may not all these quotations be from some_ Lost Gospel_?
42460But it may be said, why ascribe this madness to an evil spirit?
42460But ought he to add that it was therefore incredible?
42460But to whom does the_ we_ refer, as she was apparently alone all the time?
42460But was this belief justified?
42460But we may ask, how did the writer of Genesis know all this?
42460But we may ask, would the Jews have adopted such an expedient had there been any possibility of denying that the miracles occurred?
42460But what becomes of the spirit?
42460But what gave them this intense zeal?
42460But what is the cause of this similarity?
42460But what is the cause of this?
42460But what shall we say when they were both made_ and_ fulfilled?
42460But what then?
42460But what then?
42460But what then?
42460But why not?
42460But( apart from Revelation) how could the writer have known it?
42460Can a jellyfish design?
42460Can both be true?
42460Can we dare to face it?
42460Can we imagine a writer of fiction_ accidentally_ arranging these details in different parts of his book, which fit together so perfectly?
42460Can we imagine anyone doing so at the present day?
42460Can we imagine the best man that ever lived saying, If you have seen me, you have seen God?
42460Can we imagine, for instance, a_ contemporary_ writer describing the Ten Plagues, or the Passage of the Red Sea, if nothing of the kind had occurred?
42460Does not, it is urged, this very fact of itself form a difficulty?
42460Eighthly, how are we to account for visionary_ conversations_?
42460Evolution would then have_ God_ for its Cause, and_ man_ for its purpose-- an undoubtedly adequate_ Cause_, but is it an adequate_ purpose_?
42460For are the wicked to be_ punished_ after death previous to their destruction?
42460For how can men be convinced of Christianity, or anything else, if they will not take the trouble to examine its claims?
42460For if He knows about it, why should He not care about it?
42460For is it conceivable that Irenà ¦ us would have ascribed it to St. John, unless his teacher Polycarp had done the same?
42460For what evidence could we expect to have?
42460For what was the origin of the Egyptian doctrine itself?
42460For when St. Paul found some disciples, who said they knew nothing about the Holy Ghost; he at once asked,''Into what then were ye_ baptized_?
42460Genesis then starts from the right starting- point, but again we must ask, how did the writer know this?
42460God we may be sure does not act without motives, and what adequate motive can be suggested for the Incarnation?
42460Have we not here a powerful argument in favour of Christianity?
42460His feeling forsaken by God, and using these actual words:''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?''
42460His ideas are not like ours; for what adequate motive can we suggest for His creating man at all?
42460How can all this be reconciled?
42460How could a solitary God dwelling alone before the Creation of the world have been able to exercise either His Power or His Wisdom?
42460How do we know that but for the prayers it might not have continued for a month and killed a thousand?
42460How then did they let it escape?
42460How then would this theory suit the facts of the case?
42460How, then, could it have originated, except by some process other than natural,_ i.e._, supernatural?
42460How, then, did the variations in each organism first arise?
42460If He really did rise from the dead, and wished the world to believe it, why did He not settle the point by going publicly into Jerusalem?
42460If the Pentateuch is a contemporary document, probably written by Moses, can we reject the miracles which it records?
42460If we have to admit endless misery for these, why not for man?
42460In every age conquerors have loved to record their conquests, and why should the Jews alone have been an exception?
42460In other words, could not all_ sin_ have been excluded from the world?
42460In short, what is man''s destiny here and hereafter?
42460In short, why are not the evidences in favour of Christianity_ stronger_?
42460Is it a trustworthy, and, on the whole, accurate account of the events which it records?
42460Is it a_ contemporary_ document, written by, or in the time of, Moses?
42460Is it conceivable that such doctrines should be true, no matter what evidence they may have in their favour?
42460Is it likely that, if guilty of it, they would have been able to pass it off successfully on the whole nation?
42460Is not this equally hard on the other man?
42460Is then, this doctrine stated or implied in the New Testament?
42460Is there a judgment?
42460Is there any forgiveness for sin?
42460Is there any life beyond death?
42460Is this then incredible, or even improbable?
42460It reads like extracts from an old diary, and why should all these insignificant details be recorded?
42460Many may do this voluntarily, but what about the remainder?
42460May not the difficulties in both cases, but especially in regard to the latter, be due to our_ ignorance_ only?
42460Might not then God''s love induce Him to become man, so that He might the more easily win man''s love?
42460Neither the eye nor the brain sees, they are mere collections of molecules of matter, and how can a molecule see anything?
42460Next as to his_ Investigation_: did he avail himself of those means?
42460Next as to his_ Knowledge_: had he the means of knowing the truth?
42460Next as to their_ conduct_, did this show that they really believed what they preached?
42460No one will deny that further knowledge is desirable, both as to God, ourselves, and our future destiny, and is there no means of obtaining it?
42460Now all this may be admitted, but what then?
42460Now could any writer have described all this, even a century afterwards, if nothing of the kind had occurred?
42460Now is it conceivable that anyone would have ventured to make up such an account, even twenty years afterwards, if nothing of the kind had occurred?
42460Now what conclusion can be drawn from all this?
42460Now what effect has this on our present inquiry as to the truth of Christianity?
42460Now what follows from this?
42460Now what was the cause of this wonderful progress?
42460Now, have we any reason for thinking that God also combines, in their highest forms, these two attributes of mercy and justice?
42460One remaining objection, why are there so many difficulties, and no more obvious proof?
42460Or is it conceivable that Polycarp, who personally knew St. John, could have been mistaken in the matter?
42460Or would he have thought it worth repeating so often that they did not understand at the time the real significance of the events they took part in?
42460Or, to put the objection in other words, does not the existence of this evil show that God either could not or would not prevent it?
42460Shall we recognise those whom we have loved on earth?
42460So again when God says,''Whom shall_ I_ send, and who will go for_ us_?''
42460Still it may be said, this only lessens the difficulty; for why should animals suffer pain at all?
42460Still, it may be asked, is not the hope of future reward meant to influence men at all?
42460Still, it may be asked, why should some persons be given this faculty of faith, while others are not?
42460Taking, then, the Gospels as our guide, what is the character of Christ?
42460The two earlier Creeds speak of the life everlasting( for the good), but what is to become of the bad?
42460Then there is this further difficulty: what is to become of the evil angels?
42460There must have been some motive in all this, and what adequate motive can be suggested?
42460Therefore God can not force man to love Him, He can only induce him; and how can He do this better than by an Incarnation?
42460Therefore a revelation is certainly_ possible_; but is it at all_ probable_?
42460This is indeed one of our deepest, strongest, and most universal longings( who is there that has not felt it?
42460This is what occurs frequently at the present day, and why should it not have occurred then?
42460This seems only a trifle, but what does it mean?
42460This, as before said, is the chief cause of human misery, and might it not have been avoided?
42460Thus the Father implies the Son, for how can there be a Father, unless there is a Son( or at least a child)?
42460Was it the human prophet, or was it God Who inspired the prophet to write as he did?
42460We have, lastly, to inquire, is this Religion correctly summarised in the doctrines and statements of the_ Three Creeds_?
42460What about the religious wars and persecutions in the Middle Ages?
42460What chance was there then of persuading the world that He had risen from the dead, and why should they have embarked on such a hopeless scheme?
42460What chance would there be of any one of the prophecies( leave alone all three) coming true, and_ remaining true for two thousand years_?
42460What chance would they have of making a single convert?
42460What effect would this have on our former conclusions?
42460What evidence have we, then, that the first witnesses suffered for the truth of what they preached?
42460What is the meaning of death?
42460What is the meaning of sin?
42460What, then, is the value of the evidence they afford as to the history of the Jewish Religion having been confirmed by miracles?
42460When then would it be necessary to explain to the Israelites that these places, Shechem, etc., were in Canaan?
42460Where else indeed shall we find a personal being at all?
42460Where else shall we find a personal being with attributes superior to those of man?
42460Why are not the prophecies plainer?
42460Why does man exist at all?
42460Why has he got free will?
42460Why may not the wicked go on sinning for ever?
42460Why not, it is said, settle the question once for all by a test case?
42460Why should a universe of dead matter have ever produced life?
42460Why should not man be a partly supernatural being?
42460Why should there have been any evolution at all?
42460Why, it is asked, did He only appear to His own disciples?
42460Why, it is said, are there no miracles_ now_, when they could be properly tested?
42460Why, it is said, if these prophecies really refer to Christ, are they not plainer?
42460Why, then, should the fact of God being in His true nature unknowable prevent our having some real, though partial, knowledge of Him?
42460Would a late writer, for instance, have thought of inventing questions which the Apostles wanted to ask their Master, but were afraid to do so?
42460Would, for instance, wishing to see or trying to see, even if blind animals were capable of either, have ever given them eyes?
42460Yet if it is known, does it not constitute all the proof we could expect of the action of an evil spirit?
42460Yet is not this hard on the next competitor, who loses the scholarship in consequence?
42460[ 324] And how could a subjective vision of St. Paul have thus affected all his companions?
42460[ 426] And how, it is asked, could He have done so, if He had been both good and God?
42460[ 431] But since he says he was only appealing to what his_ hearers_ knew to be true(_ even as ye yourselves know_), how else could he have put it?
42460[ 477] But how are we to reconcile these with the far stronger ones before alluded to?
42460_ The modern Jewish interpretation._ Now, what can be said on the other side?
42460_ The supposed inhabitants of other planets._ But it may be said, what about other planets?
42460and if so, are They three Gods?
42460and what should we think of him if he did?
42460if so, are They all three Divine?
42460is there, that is, at least a slight chance that they would occur?
19566And after that?
19566And after that?
19566And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God? 19566 Can thunder from the thirty- two azimuths, repeated daily for centuries, make God''s laws more godlike to me?
19566Has not the French Academy pronounced against the use of quinine and vaccination, against lightning rods and steam engines? 19566 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he not correct you?"
19566I ask, Whence came these properties? 19566 In the year of Christ-- what new Olympiad may be that?"
19566The United States of course means the States of the Achæn League, but on what shore of the Euxine may Mexico and California be found?
19566Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 19566 What right,"says the Pantheist, the Fourierist, the Spiritualist, the Atheist,"what right have you to command me?
19566What, into a prayer- meeting? 19566 Where is the way where light dwelleth, And as for darkness, what is the place thereof?
19566Who is this that covereth up like a_ flood_, whose waters are moved like the rivers? 19566 Why should men throw away their common sense, and swallow everything as inspired?"
19566[ 120] But what do the toiling millions of earth care about beautiful poetic descriptions of a heaven and a hell that have no reality? 19566 [ 125] Now I demand to know whether this testimony of our Lord is not to be believed?
19566[ 349] The nature of light is however still as great a mystery as when Job demanded,Where is the way where light dwelleth?"
19566_ Do we then make void the law through faith? 19566 ''Well,''says I,''do you see me?'' 19566 ***** Reader, is this glorious heaven your inheritance? 19566 466 Must Faith Fade Before Science? 19566 A Christian? 19566 A blasphemer and liar an exemplar of every virtue? 19566 Again, then, whence this idea, and what is it? 19566 Also, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacles? 19566 And from the inner Adyta-- the invisible shrine of what alone is and endures-- a voice is heard:Hast thou an arm like God?
19566And how did he know that the"I"thought?
19566And if a revelation comes from God, why have we not such evidence for it as mathematical demonstration?"
19566And if a snail, or a worm, can contrive to live now in an unimproved condition, why should its improving cousin die off?
19566And if he could, how many of my most important affairs can I submit to the multiplication table, or lay off in squares and triangles?
19566And if he will never return to inquire whether men obey or disobey his law, who will regard it?
19566And in a few days myself also cease to be?
19566And now[ 1864] who would venture to predict the time of the close of that sad war?
19566And thy own god- created soul, dost thou not call that a revelation?
19566And what is the fuel which feeds these unquenchable fires?
19566And whence are these?
19566And whether he does not directly claim to work miracles by the immediate power of God?
19566And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he saith unto them, Have ye here any meat?
19566And whither shall I flee from thy presence?
19566And why?
19566And your labor for that which satisfieth not?
19566Are Saturn''s rings solid, or liquid?
19566Are the atmospheres of the planets like ours?
19566Are the light and heat of the sun begotten of combustion?
19566Are they all eternal in their present combinations?
19566Are they built of the same material as our planet?
19566Are you looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God?
19566Are you perfectly satisfied of the truth of the New Testament, and willing to venture your eternal salvation upon the words of Christ contained in it?
19566Are you washed from your sins?
19566Are your likes and dislikes, your sentiments and sympathies, your understanding and your will, all brought into subjection to Christ?
19566Aye, and as much more as God is greater than man?
19566Because a gymnast can leap over two horses, can his son leap over three?
19566But do you ever hear any of them use such phrases as"earth rising,"and"earth setting?"
19566But how did man get this extraordinary development of brain, far beyond his necessities?
19566But how does our Infidel geologist set about his work of proving that the earth is any given age, say six thousand millions of years?
19566But how many volumes of this stone book have you perused personally?
19566But how much of it is experimental science_ to you_?
19566But if six generations could thus be born in Syria, or India, in a century, why not in Egypt?

19566Did this gospel of Christ actually produce any such reformation of their lives?
19566Did you ever study the employment of the saints there?

19566He looked at it a moment, and then inquired:"H- h- how do you know it''s A?"
19566He puts forth his energy for what?
19566He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he be not correct?
19566He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
19566He that formed the eye, shall he not see?_ It does not say, he has an eye or an ear, but that he has the knowledge we acquire by those organs.
19566He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
19566He that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know?
19566Hear him._"What saith Christ, then, respecting the Old Testament?

19566If man is the highest intelligence in the universe, to whom should he render an account of his conduct?
19566If not, how did attraction, and repulsion, vegetable life, animal life, intellect, and free will, work themselves into that cloud of homogeneous gas?
19566If so, how came they there?
19566If the soul of man is the highest intelligence in the universe, did the soul of man create, or does the soul of man govern it?
19566If they could, did these finite intelligences create themselves?
19566If they were not, where did they come from?
19566If they were, how did they escape being burnt to ashes?

19566Is it credible that an impostor would direct his forgery to be publicly read?
19566Is it credible that they would allow them to be altered and corrupted?
19566Is it iron, or sulphur, or clay, or oxygen?
19566Is it possible he could make such a beast of himself in such a short time?"

19566Matthew Poole says:"Where was the need of overwhelming those regions of the earth in which there were no human beings?
19566May not the life of the nation be as liable to accidents and diseases as that of the individual?
19566Nay, is there a letter in your own, or in any other alphabet, that was not originally a picture of something?
19566Now if man can thus control and use the laws of nature for human purposes, why can not the God who made him so cunning do as much?
19566Now that is certainly a remarkable fact, and all the more remarkable if we inquire, How came it so?
19566Now what are the facts given to solve the problem of the earth''s age?
19566Now what is the cause of this remarkable conversion of prince, priests, and people?
19566Now, I demand to know whether they are aware that the earth''s rotation on its axis is the cause of day and night?
19566Now, if so, why winnow such chaff?
19566Now, if this was a falsehood, what motive had they to tell it?
19566Now, we are tempted to ask, Who are these wonderful prodigies, so incapable of receiving instruction from anybody?
19566Of what possible use would the Christian code of morals be without the authority of Christ, the lawgiver?

19566Or do they signify the orderly and regular sequence of cause and effect, which is so manifest in the course of all events?
19566Or do you shrink back in terror or dislike from God''s denunciations of wrath against the wicked?
19566Or how could any such argument be founded on a basis so little extended?
19566Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
19566Or is the veracity of Baillie, or Edwards suspected, because political history does not concern itself much about religion?
19566Or shall my soul exist under God''s frowns, or perish under his just sentence, even as my body perishes?
19566Or what does it signify to you or me, reader, that the Bible raises its head far above the other cedars of earthly literature?

19566So that the question is not, Did God give as full and expanded instructions to the Church in her infancy as he has given in her maturity?
19566State the Question Sharply-- Why?
19566Strange questions you will say; yet we need to ask a stranger question: Had the world a Creator, or did it make itself?
19566Suppose we ask, Could God speak Hebrew-- a language so defective in philosophical terms?
19566Take away the moral sanction of law, and the sacredness of oaths, and what basis have you left for any government, save the point of the bayonet?
19566Take away the persons, and of what value are the things?

19566The other prophecy referred to by Von Hammer is as follows:"Have you heard of a city of which one side is land, the two others sea?
19566The question is whether reason can accept the fact, though science can not even imagine the process?
19566The question is, Can we believe them?
19566The question then is simply this, Was Jesus really the Divine Person he claimed to be, or was he a blasphemous impostor?
19566Then I demand of you,"What more could either God or man do to convince you of their truthfulness?"
19566Then how came they to get together at all, and particularly how did they put themselves in their present shapes?

19566This is the book about which we make our present inquiry, Who wrote it?

19566We are not in search of the literary beauty or poetic inspiration of the Bible; but we inquire by what right does it command our obedience?
19566We can not avoid asking with as much gravity as we can command, Where did the mist come from?
19566We say to our would- be philosophers, When you tell us that matter is eternal, how does that account for the formation of this world?
19566We sell our property for bank- bills, but who dare say they will ever be paid in specie?

19566Why so?
19566Why, then, you ask, did they not all become Christians?
19566Will misery follow me forever, as I see and feel that it does here?
19566Would I study eternally with no object, and for no use; none to be benefited, none to be gratified by my discoveries?

20610Dream, goodman-- what dream?
20610Emily, child,--and he added something in Hindostanee,"have I been kind to you-- and do you owe me any love?"
20610Emily,asked the general, in a very unusual stretch of curiosity,"where have you been to with Charles Tracy?
20610Emily-- Emily, poor dear Julian--"What the devil, ma''am, of Julian?
20610Emmy, whom have I to ask? 20610 Ey?
20610Ey? 20610 Gold, father?
20610Granting poor Acton is the wretch you think-- but I do not believe one word of it-- does his crime make his daughter wicked too? 20610 Had n''t he heard his father say, that, if she had but money, she was fit to be a countess?
20610Hallo? 20610 Happy, child?
20610Have you heard any tidings of my poor boy, Emmy?
20610How do I know it? 20610 How should I know, mother; is n''t he up yet?"
20610How? 20610 I do n''t know-- but where did you leave him, Julian?"
20610Impossible-- ey? 20610 Indeed, Master?
20610Indeed, sir? 20610 Is he rich, Lady Dillaway?
20610Is he rich, ma''am? 20610 Is it true, Ben, is it true?
20610Is n''t the last word''troubles,''child? 20610 Jokes, Acton?
20610Jonathan, can I see the baronet?
20610Julian, Julian, what are you about? 20610 Kind neighbour, thank you, thank you; where''s Emmy?
20610Leave you? 20610 Love her, mother?
20610Ma''am, never mention that woman again-- ey? 20610 Madman?
20610Marry? 20610 Master, have I your honour''s permission to speak?"
20610Murder!--fire!--rape!--thieves!--what, Nephew Jennings, is that you, with all my honey pots? 20610 Murdered?
20610My Emily-- oh, what have I said? 20610 Nephew, what rhymes to money?"
20610Never mind that, Julian; you surely would not read another person''s letters, Monsieur le Chevalier Bayard?
20610Not ours, child? 20610 Now, governor, I put it to you plump, is n''t this hatful enough to make a man beside himself, so as not to stick at a white lie or two?
20610Oh yes, he remembered, certainly; but-- but where was her letter?
20610Oh, you do, do you? 20610 P.S.1.--Remember me to our boy, or boys-- which is it?
20610Play upon you?--generous-- your gold-- what is it you mean, man? 20610 Pretty fairish articles, eh?
20610Really, sir!--you surprise me;--pardon me, but I will send that note: must n''t I chastise the fellow for this insufferable outrage?
20610Should such a one as I?
20610So, George, you consider him a gentleman, do you? 20610 So, ma''am-- ey?
20610So, my fine young fellow, you are a footman, eh, at Hurstley?
20610Think, mother? 20610 Well, Aunt Quarles, is it your meaning to undertake a new master?"
20610Well, Jonathan, what is it?
20610Well, Julian, and who can help loving her?
20610What do you call this, sir?
20610What letter? 20610 What''s all this, Mr. Saunders?
20610What-- coward? 20610 What-- what-- what does he say to you, Emily?"
20610What?
20610Where''s Tom?
20610Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness, like pillars of smoke?
20610Whom are you writing to, George, in such a hurry?
20610Why should he be so cold, with all his impetuosity? 20610 Why, Charles, what in the world are you dreaming about?
20610Why, Emmy? 20610 Why, Grace,"suddenly said Floyd, in a very nervous way,"what makes you call upon my master in this tidy trim?"
20610Why, honest Roger, how in the world could you ha''come by that?
20610Why, what''s the matter now?
20610Wo n''t you take a keepsake, Grace-- one little token? 20610 Yes, Julian-- why not?
20610You can not mean honey, aunt? 20610 You remember what happened on the night of the late Mrs. Quarles''s decease?"
20610''What are you arter, mun?''
20610( can such things be?)
20610--"Who are my mother and my brethren?"
20610--every word had been a care to him:"clumsy?"
20610--if he was good for any thing, he was good for logic:"false?"
20610--in composition it was Addison''s own self:"feeble?"
20610--it was bold and masculine, certainly, but humble too; here and there almost deferential:"ignorant?"
20610--not one premise but stood on adamant, not one conclusion but it was fixed as fate:"presumptuous?"
20610--what author''s?
20610134,( need I name it?)
20610A book, so simply titled, with haply underneath a gigantic note of admiration between two humble queries?!?
20610A book, so simply titled, with haply underneath a gigantic note of admiration between two humble queries?!?
20610A place of punishment exists; to what quarter shall we look for its anterior probability?
20610A sterile solitariness, easily understandable, and presumably incommunicative?
20610Add also here; is it probable there would be any needless interval placed to pröcreations?
20610Again: as to the latter question; was it probable that such so- called sub- divisions should be two, or three, or how many?
20610Again: what should Joshua want with the moon for daylight, to help him to rout the foes of God more fiercely?
20610All''s right; she was only frightened, and George has given the fellow a proper good licking: and the girl''s a- bed, you know; and, eh?
20610And are not these unbounded pleasures, spreading over life, and comforting the struggles of a death- bed?
20610And canst thou, blessed God, forgive?
20610And for his mother-- why came she not down eagerly and happily, as mothers ever do, to greet her long- lost son?
20610And for the rest, the other nine, what hinders them from tenanting a thousand happy fields in other of the large domains of space?
20610And how could she think it false?
20610And how did he spend those hours of guilty solitude?
20610And how fared the parents all this while?
20610And how fares the wretch that would have starved them?
20610And if a rich old bachelor looks kindly on a foundling, is it not pure malice on that sole account of charity to hail him father?
20610And if any one should ask, how was such a system more likely to arise under a Gentile rather than a Jewish theocracy?
20610And if others fall away, or do ought else than my bidding, what is that to thee?
20610And is it not so?
20610And is it not so?
20610And is it not so?
20610And is not tragic dignity justified in varnishing, with other compost than the dregs of Rome, the exit of the last true Cæsar of the Augustan family?
20610And now that he should give his life to see her, and kiss her, and-- no, no, not forgive her, but pray to be forgiven by her--"Where is she?
20610And now, reader, do you begin to comprehend me, and my title?
20610And on the rejoinder, Why didst thou not keep me as thou madest me?
20610And shall they not be righted at the last?
20610And so, Mrs Quarles the biter is going to be bit, eh?
20610And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou?
20610And the Lord said unto Satan, whence comest thou?
20610And the days long- looked- for now were come; but were they any better?
20610And the mystified Sir Abraham looked to Saunders for an explanation--"Was his master drunk?"
20610And the poor babes, his little playful pets, what on earth would become of them?
20610And thou-- poor miserable man-- thou fratricide in mind-- and to thy best belief in act, how drags on now the burden of thy life?
20610And was this dread result of the primal curse and disobedience to be regarded as the Adversary''s triumph?
20610And what can be more provocative of scribbling than travel?
20610And what is its radical cause, but the absurd indulgence wherewith our law greets the favoured,_ because_ the atrocious criminal?
20610And what misery can such a one complain of, which is not the work of his own hands?
20610And what of that poor stricken mother?
20610And when, pale and sick, leaning on his spade, he came to his old strength again, what was the reaction?
20610And where has Mrs. Acton been all this morning?
20610And where''s the harm or sin in bringing down a bird?
20610And wherefore melancholy?
20610And who will extenuate the rich man''s coveting, whose appetite grows with what it feeds on?
20610And why should you not exercise it now?
20610And will not thy great mercy bring her to me yet again?
20610And would I, bad as I be, turn the bloody villain to take a man''s life?
20610Are these the mere first- fruits of coveting and having?
20610Are they battening on some dead carcase?
20610Are we, then, to be utterly ruined?"
20610Are you an old mole, that you have n''t seen it these six weeks?
20610Are you stone deaf, that all their pretty speeches have been wasted on you?
20610As things were, though, could any thing be clearer?
20610As to sonnets, what real author''s mind will not, if honest, confess to the almost daily recurrence of that symptom of his disease?
20610Ay, and the coming prospect too-- hath it greater consolations than the retrospect?
20610Barbarism makes gentle woman our slave; right civilization raises her into a loving helpmate; but what kind of wisdom exalts her into mastery?
20610Bare civilities, as between man and man, constituted all which their intercourse amounted to: what were those young fellows, stout or slim, to him?
20610Bear witness, readers, bit by a mysterious advertisement in the''_ Morning Post_,''are names, indeed, not matters of much weight?
20610Ben would come, and claim some portion of his treasure-- he would cry halves-- or, who knows?
20610Blessings to come, this many a happy year; For, losing thee, where could we find another So kind, so true, so tender, and-- so dear?
20610But I should like to know who wants her to marry at all?
20610But Roger does, more shame for him; or why burn the shawl?
20610But believe me for a truth- teller; that sonnet( did you read it?)
20610But come, Si, have n''t you struck out the''not,''for yourself, though the printer did his duty, eh, Nep?"
20610But honey?
20610But how did Charles act?
20610But if he did not go that way, which way did he go?
20610But is it, in candour, true that brutes have no moral sense?
20610But is that indeed little?
20610But we have forgotten Simon Jennings-- what was he about?
20610But what if he left the wrong one, and got clear off with the valuable booty of two dozen pounds of honey?
20610But what is she to do with the sovereigns?
20610But what kind of Unity is probable?
20610But what, then, is the name of this burnt plain, unwatered by one liquid drop, unvisited even by dews in the cold dry night?
20610But where is Mr. Jennings?
20610But where is he now, child?
20610But why may I not now at once fly to papa, tell him all I feel and wish cordially and openly, and touch his dear kind heart?
20610But why may not humble individualities be generalized in grander shapes?
20610But, query?
20610But, take the phrases as they stand; and do they not in reason constitute some warning and some prophecy that men should idolize the mother?
20610But-- what conceivable news can be told at this time of day about the trampled Continent, and the crowded British isles?
20610By all that worries man, but this was too bad:"careless?"
20610Ca n''t you see, now, that it''s all cram this, just to put you in spirits, old boy, in case of such things happening?
20610Can Nature''s wounds be cicatrized, or her soft feelings seared, without a thousand secret pangs?
20610Can not He interpose?
20610Can not I get at the huge hoard some how?
20610Charles?"
20610Come, drink, drink-- we must all drink that-- but where''s Tom?"
20610Compunction at incipient crime, and gratitude to find its punishment so mercifully speedy, so lenient, so discriminative?
20610Could Margaret be mad?
20610Could a finer sample be conceived?
20610Could her dear Maria really have been so base, and that noble- looking Henry too?
20610Could she forget how the stripling fought for her that day, when rude Joseph Green would help her over the style?
20610Did you ever look on prettier lips or sweeter eyes-- more glossy natural curls upon a whiter neck?
20610Do I not, by introducing Nero''s three greatest crimes so near upon his assassination, merely accelerate the interval between causes and effect?
20610Do the young lions not gather what He giveth?
20610Do we not see how this bears on our coming argument?
20610Do you mean to say you did n''t write that letter?"
20610Do you remember them, the supposititious nieces, aiders and abetters in our stock- jobber''s forged will?
20610Does he dare to write to you, and you to love him?
20610Does not a puppy, that has stolen a sweet morsel from some butcher''s stall, fly, though none pursue him?
20610Doth He not feed the ravens?
20610Doth a sparrow fall to the ground without Our Father?
20610Dreams?
20610Eh-- do I see a light?"
20610Encourages?
20610Even so in life: who does not wish a thousand times he could help some people to change places?
20610Every one looked: it warn''t barrels-- and it warn''t a porpoise: what was it, then?
20610Ey?
20610Ey?
20610For other people, they would urge the reasonable question, how else came Roger by the cash?
20610Friendships and loves tremble at the daily recurrence of"Have you read this?"
20610Further: and which concerns our argument: what were likely to be the characteristic marks of such a revelation?
20610Got home, the difficulty now recurred, where was he to hide it?
20610Had he fainted?
20610Had n''t he fought for her more than once, and though he came home with bruises on his face, his mother praised him for it?"
20610Had this Accuser-- the Saxon word is Devil-- had this Slanderer of God''s attribute then really beaten Good?
20610Happiness:--ay, was n''t it to have given me happiness?
20610Has not all this, and the very title, for any thing I know, been done already by another, by a wiser?
20610Hast thou not made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?
20610Hath it been no trial to see youthful bloom departing, and middle age creep on, without some intimate one to share the solitude of life?
20610Hath not God blest thee through the crock of gold at last, in spite of sin?
20610Have you no compunctions, man?
20610Have you not often noticed, that riches generally come to a man, when he least stands in need of them?
20610He would make no strong appeals to the bar of justice, as an innocent condemned; not he-- not he: innocent, indeed?
20610His own bit of garden lay the nearest to Pike Island, and who knows but Ben might have slung a crock this way?
20610How could Maria, with all her seeming warmth, treat her with such utter negligence?
20610How could he bear to look on Grace, too beautiful Grace, and torture his heart by fancying her fate?
20610How could he face his wife, and tell her all the foolish past and dreadful future?
20610How could he think otherwise?
20610How is it possible, intelligent reader, to avoid perpetual allusion to an oath?
20610How is poor-- poor Julian?
20610How long should he have a home?
20610How on earth did Cervantes continue to grow old, after having pointed the finger of derision at all grave Spain?
20610How should a daughter mourn for such a soul?
20610How should it not be that he gets worse and worse in morals, and more and more miserable in fact?
20610How should this prolific original, the first man, be created?
20610How the deuce to do it?
20610How then to entrap her?
20610How to get him home?
20610How was he to get bread, to get work, if the bailiff was his enemy?
20610How, in such a hurlyburly of the elements, should the chosen seed survive?
20610How, then, did we manage to survive it?
20610Hush!--yes, somebody''s about: it is Jonathan''s step; and hark, he is humming merrily,"Hail, smiling morn, that opes the gates of day?"
20610I can help your memory, Mr. Butler; what do you think of the shower- bath in Mother Quarles''s room?"
20610I dare say now you have got a Chubb''s patent somewhere full of gold?"
20610I give leave?
20610I guessed as much: what do you think now of our laughing, and crying, and kissing, and praying Miss Maria with--"Not that beggar Clements?
20610I had almost forgotten Julian: wretched, hardened man, and how fared he?
20610I have just cut the following paragraph out of a newspaper: Is this the ridiculous tripping up the sublime?
20610I have learnt much, more than you may fancy: and now this crowning villany[ what if he had known of the ulterior designs?]
20610I knew that, but whither?
20610I repeat it, is he rich?
20610I suspected as much; so this fellow Clements has been hanging about us at parties, and dropping in here so often, for the sake of Miss Maria, ey?"
20610I thought so; why not, governor?
20610I will add another topic: How should the God on earth arrive there?
20610I''ll save him-- I will indeed-- what is it?
20610I?
20610If law be not a lie, and judgments jokes, Why not_ be just_, and cut adrift Lord Hoax?
20610If selfishness deserves the meed of praise, who more honourable than thou art?
20610If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord, who may abide it?
20610Instead of these, what have we rife about the world?
20610Is Tom, brave boy, full o''the fat o''the land?
20610Is a fox- hound not conscience- stricken for his harry of the sheep- fold?
20610Is he not content?
20610Is he not happy?
20610Is it not strange that no St. Helena was at hand to conserve such a desirable invention?
20610Is it possible, O fair and favoured mistress of this beautiful garden, that your Maker has debarred you from its very choicest fruit?
20610Is it quite impossible, quite incredible?
20610Is it quite wise in a writer, by following in that wake, to be reputed at once to help in doing harm, and help to do harm to his own reputation?
20610Is it reasonable to conceive that such a character could for a moment be satisfied with absolute solitariness?
20610Is it so?
20610Is it, John Dillaway?
20610Is it, then, merely a legal fiction, and not a religious truth, that husband and wife are one?
20610Is n''t this enough to make a poor man merry?
20610Is not Emmy in her bridal- dress a theme well worth a revery?
20610Is not Wrexhill libellous, and Dr. Hookwell personal?
20610Is not then the existence of evil justified in reason''s calculation?
20610Is not this returning like a nabob, Roger?
20610Is the curse of its accumulation still unsatisfied?
20610Is there any improbability here?
20610Is there no conceivable method of possessing that vast hoard?
20610Is there no possibility of contriving matters so that I may be the architect of my own good luck, and no thanks at all to the old witch there?
20610Is there yet more blessing in the crock?
20610Is this the earliest blessing of that luck which many long for-- the finding of a crock of gold?
20610Is this unlikely, or unworthy of our high vocation, our immortality, and nearness unto, nay communion with God?
20610It is better to ask, as more relevant, in what other way more benevolent than drowning could, short of miracle, the race be made extinct?
20610It must, then, be the shape of some other creature; as a lion, or a lamb, or-- why not a serpent?
20610Jennings said, he had gone out to still the dog by the front door-- didn''t he?--"How then, Mr. Jennings, did you contrive to push back the top bolt?
20610Jennings?"
20610Judge me too, am I not consecutive?
20610Keep them?
20610Know ye not for comfort, that ye are of those to whom all things work together for good?
20610Know ye not for counsel, that the excess of love is an idolatry that must be blighted?
20610Lest I be full, and deny Thee, saying, Who is the Lord?
20610Listen, Jenny, will you?"
20610Look at all dumb brutes, the lower animals of this our earth; is it not thus by nature''s law with them?
20610Look at me, and judge; what has made me live like a beast, sin like a heathen, and lie down here like a felon?
20610Look at these two women, impudent brawlers, foul with vice: can there be any excuses made for them, considered as distinct from their condition?
20610May I, dear?
20610May he not live yet many years, heaping up gold and crime?
20610Meanwhile, what were the parents about?
20610Mr. Jennings, what''s the matter?"
20610Must another sacrifice bleed before the shrine of Mammon, and another head lie crushed beneath the heel of that monster-- his disciple?
20610Must he battle his way through?
20610Must he really take them all?
20610Must more misery be born of that unhallowed store?
20610Naturally enough you will ask, why Charles can not accompany this letter?
20610Nay, was it clandestine at all?
20610Need I, sons and daughters, need I record at any length how Maria mourned for her father?
20610Next morning, off again: why could he not catch and eat some of those half- tame antelopes?
20610No longer pale, anxious, thoughtful, worn by the corroding care of"Does she-- does she love?"
20610Not seldom?
20610Now, is not this a thing to be exclaimed against?
20610Now, ma''am, what do n''t they deserve, I should like to know?"
20610Now, the cure in future for all this would be very simple: Why not have some lay oratorios?
20610Now, these two ladies( who extenuates their guilt, caviller?
20610Now, what of man''s own person, circumstances, and individuality?
20610Now, will it be believed that a trivial error of the press mainly conduced to occasion this hostility?
20610O death, where is thy victory?
20610O grave, where is thy sting?
20610O, hard and wicked heart!--what will not such a miscreant do for money?
20610Oh ye, my beauteous nest of snow- white doves, What wealth could price for me your guileless loves?
20610Once more: Who does not recognise individuality of character in animals?
20610Once more: our objector will here perhaps inquire, Why not then command the earth to stop-- and not the sun and moon?
20610Only of this one thing be sure; we--(no, I; why should unregal, unhierarchal I affect pluralities?)
20610Or Mr. Green be denied any other carriage than the wicker car of his balloon?
20610Or a tragic actor, like some mortified La Trapist, never be allowed to laugh?
20610Patient reader, what think you of my long- winded tragedy?
20610Press forward, Sosii aforesaid, and answer me truly, is not a title- page the better part of many books?
20610Really, my lurd--""Oh, sir, but my father may go free?"
20610Religion-- can it bide with money, child?
20610Roger, did I judge amiss when I saw, or thought I saw, those eyes full of humble shame, those lips quivering with remorseful sorrow?
20610Rum start this, thinks I: but any how he''s flung away a summut, and means to give it me: what can it be?
20610Shall it be a land of plenty, green, well- watered meadows, the pleasant homes of man, though savage, not unfriendly?
20610She looked up archly, and said,"Why not?"
20610Should he be originated in boyhood, that hot and tumultuous time, when the creature is most rash, and least qualified for self- government?
20610Should he blab it out, and so be poor again, and lose the crock?
20610Should he have been cast upon the ground an infant, utterly helpless, requiring miraculous aid and guidance at every turn?
20610Should not David whilst a shepherd praise God among his flocks, and when a king, cry"Give the King thy judgments?"
20610Should not the herdsman of Tehoa plead in pastoral phrase, and the royal son of Amoz denounce with strong authority?
20610Should such an historian as I condescend to sheer inventions?
20610So much then on the moment for the monosyllable"Mind;"--whereof followeth, indeed, all the more hereafter; but--"An author''s?"
20610So, this pretty minx is rich, is she?"
20610Speak, Plumer Ward, courageous veteran, Have the critics yet forgiven Mr. John Paragraph-- forgotten, is impossible?
20610Speak, Roger Acton, which will you choose, man-- a prisoner''s mess of pottage-- or a crock of gold?
20610Speculation now seemed at an end, it had ripened into probability;--but what evidence was there to support so grave a charge against this rigid man?
20610Stop-- can he do nothing for her, can he venture nothing in her service?
20610Stop-- that black heap may be kegs of whiskey;--where''s the glass?
20610Tell me rather this: do I falsify history in any thing more important than mere accidental anachronisms and anatopisms?
20610That beetled- browed task- master slumbered in the hut; that brother convict--(why need he care for him, too?
20610That honesty is the best policy, deny who dare?
20610The brandy- sodden parent, scarcely conscious, said something about his infernal majesty; and,"What then?--let him go, ca n''t you?"
20610The fourth, necessarily a tale of overwhelming calamity ultimately triumphant,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
20610Then Roger, as he lay musing, fancied he heard men''s voices below, and his wife, who had just come in, talking to them; what could they want?
20610Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught?
20610Then again to return to wages-- who knows?
20610There may be one, possibly, beneath us, in the bowels of this fiery- bursting earth; whither went Korah and his company?
20610There was one great and engrossing subject which often had employed their curiosity; who and what was Emily Warren?
20610There''s the death- rattle, the last smothery complicated gasp-- what, did n''t you hear that?
20610There, trip along, with health upon thy cheek, and hope within thy heart; who can resist so eloquent a pleader?
20610These things being so, what hinders it from occupying, as in honesty it does, the king''s place in this pack of sonnets?
20610Thomas, too, his own brave boy, whom utter poverty might drive to desperation?
20610Thus shortly of the first: and now, secondly, how should God reveal himself to men?
20610Thus then return we to our muttons, and time enough, quotha: literary pundit,( whose is the notable saying?)
20610Tip it down the sink, dame, will you now?
20610To arrange the bed, smooth down the tumbled coverlid, set every thing straight about the room, and erase all tokens of that dread encounter?
20610To bed?
20610True, he said not a word about the early morning''s sin; why should he?
20610True, the silver had seldom been forthcoming; still, he had asked for it; and where in life could he have got the gold?
20610True, their regularly concerted studies were forbidden, and they never now might openly walk out unaccompanied: but love( who has not found this out?)
20610Unity of Person, or unity of Essence?
20610Wait a bit: is there no way of managing some better end to all this?
20610Was Deity, either in Adam''s case or this, baffled-- nor rather justified?
20610Was charity herself to blame in putting one and one together?
20610Was he ill?
20610Was he to be"hiding up his talent in a napkin--?"
20610Was it all this same starving forest to the wide world''s end?
20610Was it likely that the world should be stocked at once with many several races, or with one prolific seed?
20610Was it not a merciful, a perfect, and a worthy way?
20610Was it not decidedly enough to have spoken to the latter, especially when she undertook to answer for the former?
20610Was it not to teach them deeper feeling for the poor, if ever God again should give them riches?
20610Was it, in reality, an improbable test; an unsuitable one?
20610Was it, in this view of the case, an equal contest?
20610Was n''t it to be an end of troubles, too, this precious crock of gold?
20610Was not all this reasonably to have been looked for?
20610Was not the"long- suffering of God"likely to have thus been tried"while the ark was preparing?"
20610Was not this a just, a sublime, and a likely plan?
20610Was not this a most probable, a most reasonably probable scheme?
20610Was she not innocent, after all?
20610Was the woman dead?
20610Was there ever such a fool as he?
20610Were they poisonous?
20610Were those champions, Lucifer and Adam, really fit to be matched together?
20610What affliction as to this world''s wealth can a man meet worse than this?
20610What better mode could have been devised to scatter mankind, and so to people the extremities of earth?
20610What could be more delicious than all this?
20610What could he do?
20610What do they mean by knowing so much?
20610What had he been doing with his talents-- for he once possessed the ten?
20610What hallowed gold was that?
20610What has not money cost me?
20610What if any found it out?
20610What if poverty pinched him?
20610What if this book be, after all, a sort of pilot- balloon, to show my huge Nassau the way the wind blows-- a feeler as to which and which may please?
20610What letter?
20610What moreover shall we say of chilling friendships, near estrangements, heartless lovers loitering behind, shy acquaintance dropping off?
20610What must he do?
20610What other way than this was there to save thee from thy sin-- to raise thee from thy fall?
20610What shall hinder, that the perjured wretch offer up to the manes of the murdered the life- blood of the false- accused?
20610What shall she do?
20610What shall we say of omens, warnings, forebodings?
20610What think you then of"a featherless biped?"
20610What were they to do?
20610What will they do?
20610What would probably be the nature of such world and of such creatures, in a physical point of view?
20610What''s to be done?--which is he to leave behind?
20610What, O man with a soul, is all the world else to thee?
20610What, have you no compunctions at that word starve?
20610What, not found out yet?
20610When did heart ever gain money?
20610Where art thou, dear child, my pure and best Maria?"
20610Where do you keep yours now, aunt, I wonder?"
20610Where else, but in a prison, could you get the silent, solitary hours leading you again to wholesome thought and deep repentance?
20610Where is she-- how can I find her out-- why will she not come to me all this sorrowful year?
20610Where on earth was he to hide it?
20610Where then did they live, and how-- that noble and calumniated couple?
20610Where was the use of a delay?
20610Where were the offerings, in jewels or in gold, to propitiate that undoubted man of God and denizen of heaven, St. Moses?
20610Where''s the good o''living in a great house else?
20610Which way did the maniac turn?--whither in that desolate gloom shall Charlotte fly to find her?
20610Whither, oh God!--whither?
20610Who are ye, bright messengers about my bed, heralds of glory?
20610Who can accuse them of any wrong( the hopefulness of love considered) in point either of honour or duty?
20610Who can condemn the poor man''s care, though Faith should make his load the lighter?
20610Who can even sketch aright the heavenly hues that shone about that scene of the affections?
20610Who can gainsay it?
20610Who can help thinking of his lawyer, when he makes acquaintance with those immortal firms Dodson and Fogg, or Quirk, Snap, and Gammon?
20610Who can not say the same indeed?
20610Who can prove, nay, venture to insinuate, any such systematic roguery against a man hitherto so strict, so punctual, so sanctimonious?
20610Who can record it all?
20610Who can sound its seas, deep calling unto deep?
20610Who can wonder at the reckless and dissolute result?
20610Who could have murdered her?"
20610Who does not writhe while reading details of cruelty, and who would not rejoice to find even there somewhat of CONSOLATION?
20610Who ever asked, in those old times, the mediation of St. Enoch?
20610Who gained money as you bade him-- never mind how?
20610Who has not tales to tell of dreams?
20610Who is he that would pander to the popular taste for details of dreadful, cruel, criminal, and useless abominations?
20610Who knoweth?
20610Who knows but Heaven heard that saintly virgin prayer?
20610Who knows whether his advice to Acton may not have been wise and kind, and would not have conduced to a general rise of wages?
20610Who knows?
20610Who knows?
20610Who made fowl, I should like to know, and us to eat''em?
20610Who more grieved at his thanklessness than Thou art?
20610Who more sorry for the righteous and necessary doom which the impenitence of heartlessness drags down upon itself?
20610Who or what had caused this deep and mighty change?
20610Who shall cure me of parentheses?]
20610Who shall record how kind was Henry, how useful was the nurse, how liberal the doctor, how sympathizing all?
20610Who shall sing of the humble ale- caudle, and those cheerful givings to surrounding poor, scarcely poorer than themselves?
20610Who was more welcome on the hill than pretty Grace?
20610Who was that strange man so often in the way?
20610Who will deny that Hogarth was a novelist and play- wright, if not indeed a heart- rending tragedian?
20610Who wrote that letter?
20610Who''d suspect you?"
20610Who, in this age of literature, can be fully condemned, or heartily acquitted of plagiarism?
20610Whom can he in reason accuse but himself for what he is?
20610Whom had she to care for her-- whom had she to love?
20610Why are the clasp- knives sheathed, which should have drunk the blood of James?
20610Why be guilty of such mean self- stultification as to say one thing and do another?
20610Why did I produce these passages at length?
20610Why did he spurn her away?
20610Why did not that man thank Thee?
20610Why is there no St. Vestment to keep in countenance a St. Sepulchre and a St. Cross?
20610Why not talk about those names of gentle blood, familiar to the ear as household words, Uvedale and Scrope, Vavasour and Ratcliffe?
20610Why not, according to the astronomical ignorance of those days, let her sail away, unconsorted by the sun, far beyond the valley of Ajalon?
20610Why not?
20610Why on earth should they be doubted in their literal sense?
20610Why should a poor shepherd of the Landes for ever wear his stilts?
20610Why should not Earth''s own satellite, void, as yet, be on the resurrection of all flesh, the raft whereon to float away Earth''s evil?
20610Why should not he get interest for his money, like lords and gentlefolk?
20610Why should not honesty and plain- dealing be as inviolable publicly as privately?
20610Why should not the case be so?
20610Why should not this highest Object of faith and this lowest Subject of obedience be born, seemingly by human means, but really by divine?
20610Why should she not come of a lineage and family which for centuries before had held such expectation?
20610Why should so much money lie idle?
20610Why slumber pistols that, should damage Bulwer?
20610Why then intrude such unrequired counsel?
20610Why then withhold the easier matter of an afterward belief?
20610Why will all these people don my imaginary characters?
20610Why, neighbour Acton, look at the boy: would that frank- faced, open- hearted fellow do worse, think you, than Black Burke?
20610Will this serve the purpose, my ever- pensive public?
20610Will you think it a foregone conclusion, if I assert the superior likelihoods of the latter, and not of the former?
20610With none?
20610Would he?
20610Would he?
20610Would not his bag be filled with briefs from the community of burglars, and his purse be rich in gold subscribed by the brotherhood of thieves?
20610Would not such sneers and taunts be probable: would they not amply vindicate the coming judgment?
20610Would not the money be a curse to them any how, say nothing of the danger?
20610Yet there is one thing, Charles; ought you not to ask your parents for their leave to go?
20610Yet worse: there was another suggestion, by no means contradictory, though simultaneous: what had become of Tom?
20610Yet-- must not the bank of England bear the brunt of all this forgery, and account for its stock to that innocent depositor?
20610You look flushed, my dear; what''s the matter?"
20610You saw him off, you know: can not you remember?"
20610[ A]"Now what is the necessary consequence of this, but a mighty, a fearfully influential premium on crime?
20610[ what, indeed?]
20610a wedding?
20610all gone-- all, his own beloved hoard, and that dear- bought crock of gold?
20610along with the preserves in a honey- pot, do you?"
20610and John, bad John, too probably the forger of that letter, as the forger of this will?
20610and after all to lose the crock of gold?"
20610and does she still starve for it?
20610and enclosing them one hundred pounds for the honey- moon?"
20610and how is it no house- keeper has arsenicked my soup, O rash recruit, for the mysteries of perquisite divulged in Mrs. Quarles?
20610and is it not quite as much a matrimonial as a moral one that father and mother are so too?
20610and is not the unsinning multitude of Nineveh''s young children climaxed with"much cattle?"
20610and so you hide the hoard up there, aunt, eh?
20610and was not he the best imaginable champion to stand against the wiles of the devil?
20610and was not such existence an antecedent probability?
20610and was not the lawn- door open?
20610and were they not more likely to have happened than to have been invented?
20610and what, in a moral point of view?
20610and when the catastrophe should come, had not that evil generation been duly warned against it?
20610and wherewithal, but with domesticated monkeys, does he share this happy attribute?
20610and who gets the odd four?"
20610and who will deny some sense of duty, and no little strength of affection, in a shepherd''s dog?
20610and"How is it you never come our way?"
20610another thief to go shares with me when the governor cuts up?
20610are there not men dwelling there with flocks and herds, and food and plenty?
20610are they married?
20610are you such a thorough Mrs. Rundle as to pickle and preserve your very guineas, the same as you do strawberries or apricots in syrup?"
20610ay-- that bold young fellow-- Thomas Acton, Ben Burke''s friend: why was he away so long, hiding out of the country?
20610but how to make the girl look sweet upon me, mother?
20610ca n''t we catch''em first, ey?
20610can he have offended you in any way?"
20610can they all be full of gold?
20610canst thou think that from a feminine breast the lover, the wife, the mother, can be utterly sponged away without long years of bitterness?
20610children, to my misery you know what need is: I can say no more; poor sinful man, how dare I preach to others?
20610deceived?
20610did I go out with him?
20610did n''t it madden me to hear them?
20610did that"cynosure of neighbouring eyes"appear alarmed at his position, anxious at his fate, or even attentive to what was going on?
20610did you ever know a rich man yet who was contented-- ey?
20610do I make an untrue delineation of character, blackening the good, or white- washing the wicked?
20610do you dare to ask me that?
20610does the governor know of all this?
20610e._ you, governor, ey?
20610exclaimed the eager group of listeners;"kill Him?
20610ey?
20610ey?
20610ey?
20610ey?
20610ey?
20610ey?
20610ey?
20610ey?
20610ey?
20610feel you not the earth trembling at the thunder-- see you not the heaven clouded o''er with spray?
20610had he not squandered piety, purity, and patience?
20610has any harm befallen the child?
20610have you seen her?
20610he almost frantically shrieked,"shall that white hell- hound rob me yet again?
20610he asked somewhat anxiously;"take your punch, aunt, wo nt you?
20610he had done no ill, he had committed no crime-- why should he prefer the convict''s doom, and seek to be transported for life?
20610he was a great heir still; what if oppression bruised him?
20610hear you not the roar of many waters, the maddening rush as of an ocean disenthralled?
20610how came ye by it?"
20610how could the shawl have got there?
20610how do you know it?
20610how help himself, or get his gold again?
20610how is she?
20610how shall we prove this negative?
20610how should the father have known him for a son?
20610how should they, how could they, how dare they kill God?"
20610how to keep it safely, secretly?
20610how will they live?
20610if thus probably Joshua or his Inspirer knew better?
20610if your poor weak head had but been wise enough to read that heart, would you still have loved it as you do?
20610in misery?
20610in remorse?
20610in terrors?
20610is he rich?
20610is he rich?"
20610is it bloody money?"
20610is it not a deeper, higher, purer, wiser, more abundant source of pleasure?
20610is it true?
20610is it true?
20610is not poor Maria''s love worth more than all your rich rude Jack''s sudden flush of money?
20610is not that good?
20610is she yet alive?''
20610is this the state of those who love thee deepest?
20610it is Sarah''s voice-- she has seen her dead, dead, dead;--but is she indeed dead?"
20610married-- ey?
20610may I-- may I call you my Emily?
20610more fearful interest still, to carry on its story to an end?
20610mum-- ey?
20610murmured Grace,"why will you lead him astray?
20610muttered she,"it''s your last bill here, Mr. Scrubb, I can tell you; so, you were going to put me off with a crown- piece, were you?
20610my father?
20610no bitter, dreadful recollections?
20610no mode of giving the right turn to that wheel of fortune, round which his cares and calculations have been hovering so long?
20610not only lose the crock of gold, but all his own bright store?
20610nothing tapping at your heart?
20610now you can cringe, and fawn, eh?
20610nybor, who be you a- poaching on my manor, eh?
20610of course he wanted it; if not, why had he slaved so many years?
20610on Jonathan Floyd, and John Vincent?
20610or a poor one that wasn''t-- ey?
20610or an absolute oneness, which yet relatively involves several mysterious phases of its own expansive love?
20610or should he be first discerned as an adult, in his prime, equal alike to obedience and rule, to moral control and moral energy?
20610or was he being strangled by some unseen executioner?
20610or worse-- fallen into bad excesses?
20610per Justice Grundy), That[ black was white];--and so, what can I say?
20610pick up money?
20610poor Charles hid his face; Emily looked up indignantly; but Julian asked, with an oath,"Where''s the good of being hypocrites?"
20610precious, cast- off child, where art thou, where art thou, where art thou-- starving?
20610roared Ben,"would you hang the innocent, and save the guilty?"
20610said Sarah to one of the house- maids, as they were arranging their curl- papers to go to bed:"what can that noise be in Mr. Jennings''s room?
20610says I;''burying a dead babby?''
20610sculpture imitates life, and who can recognise a countenance so much among the clouds?
20610so formal, in spite of his rapidity?
20610so he slept out, eh, mother?"
20610so little generous of spirit, notwithstanding all his wonderful prosperity?"
20610squeeze the swallow, ca n''t you?
20610that big barred, guarded place, looking like a mighty mouse- trap?
20610that infinite benevolence should, in any possible beginning, be discovered existent in a sort of selfish only- oneness?
20610the lad is n''t a thief, the lad is n''t a murderer?
20610the_ corpus delicti_--that unlucky crock of gold, actually in the man''s possession, and the fragment of shawl-- was not that sufficient?
20610then how should he fail of being made a King of men, for his goodness, and his majesty, and wisdom?"
20610these ephemeral fancies dropped into the true elixir of immortality, printer''s- ink?
20610these fleeting thoughts fixed in stone before that Gorgon- head, the public?
20610these mere minnows to be treated with the high consideration due only to potted char and white bait?
20610to know your estimation among men ebbs and flows according to the accident of success, rather than the quality of merit?
20610tramps, perhaps: or Ben?
20610was Charles alive after all?
20610was it clean gone, stolen, lost, lost, lost for ever?
20610was it not altogether wise and philosophical, as well as entirely generous and kind to wretched men?
20610was it not to be regarded as a sort of outpost of the being who was Human- God?
20610was not Noah the only spark of spiritual"consolation"in the midst of earth''s dark death?
20610was the courteous reply,"what, not believe your own son?
20610was the erring daughter entirely forgotten?
20610was this wonderful robe to work no miracles?
20610well enough for curates: go on, ma''am-- go on, and make haste to the point of all points-- is he rich?"
20610went a little something in her neck-- did you hear it?
20610were the weapons of that warfare matched and measured fairly?
20610were there no heads found to fit his many caps, hats, helmets, and other capillary properties?
20610what about?"
20610what are all those carrion fowls congregated there for?
20610what business has my daughter with a heart?"
20610what has made me curse Ben Burke-- kind, hearty, friendly Ben?--and given my poor good boy an ill- report as having stolen and slain?
20610what has made thee drink and swear?
20610what has planted guile, and suspicion, and malice in thy heart?
20610what have I done-- what has Henry done, that papa, and you, and dear mamma, should all be so unkind to us?"
20610what have you done?"
20610what if he should be cogitating a novel or a play, and means to make free with our characters?
20610what if she be alive still?
20610what makes you look so sodden?
20610what prows, in wax, of vessels saved from shipwreck, hung about the dripping fane of Jonah?
20610what shall I say?"
20610what the devil made you give that start?
20610what was the result of his exertions?
20610what''s that?"
20610what''s the matter with you?"
20610what, Maria?
20610what-- what is it all?"
20610what-- what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?
20610what?"
20610what?"
20610what?"
20610what?"
20610what?"
20610where can you get your parchment hereabouts?
20610where were now his gratitude to God, his benevolence to man?
20610where will they go?
20610where''s Miss Warren?"
20610which way should he turn?
20610who breathes one iota of excuse for their wicked manner of life?
20610who can map its caverns?
20610who can stand upon the hill- tops, height beckoning unto height?
20610who can track its labyrinths?
20610who does not utterly denounce the foul and flagrant sin, whilst he leaves to a secret- searching God the judgment of the sinner?)
20610who knoweth but it may be true?
20610who said that?
20610who would oftenest come to nurse some sickly lamb, but gentle Grace?
20610whose in life is it then?"
20610whose?"
20610why had I not thought of that before?"
20610why not glorify the picture of a cottage with colouring of Turner''s most imaginative palette?
20610why-- that she''s deuced pretty, and dresses like an empress: but where did the general pick her up, eh?--who is she?"
20610why?
20610will He not befriend you?
20610will he thus watch his mother die by inches, when one true word from his lips could restore her to tranquillity and health?
20610will the woman drive me mad?"
20610would Mr. Philip Sharp?
20610would not Newgate rejoice, and Horsemonger be glad?
20610would you drive me mad?
20610yes, now I recollect: let''s see, we strolled together midway to Oxton, and, as he was going somewhat further, there I left him?"
20610yes-- yes-- yes-- they call her so; where is she?
20610you choose to forget, do you?
20610you do n''t know, ey?
20610you frighten me, dearest; are you ill?
20610you would not-- you dare not-- give over-- unhand me, brother; what have I done, that you should strike me?
