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? |

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?" |

18191 | 31, v. 24; Caius( Hippolytus?) |
18191 | 34),''O, Jerusalem, Jerusalem,..._ how often_ would I have gathered thy children together''? |

18191 | And when Judas the traitor did not believe, and asked,''How shall such growths be accomplished by the Lord?'' |
18191 | But if the Curetonian letters are the genuine work of Ignatius, what must we say of the Vossian? |
18191 | But if this be so, what becomes of the disparagement of written Gospels, which is confidently asserted by our author and others? |

18191 | But 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? |
18191 | But is it certain that he is not mentioned elsewhere? |
18191 | But is there anything really characteristic of Marcion in the description? |
18191 | But what purpose was served by thus importing into his notes a mass of borrowed and unsorted references? |
18191 | But what then? |
18191 | But what was its nature and purport? |
18191 | But what, if the comparison which Papias had in view was wholly different? |
18191 | But what, if the writer of these fragments was not an''isolated convert to the views of Victor,''but a Quartodeciman himself? |
18191 | But where did he find this false exegesis? |
18191 | But who could have supposed that this was our author''s meaning? |
18191 | But, if our author disposes of the coincidences with the Third Gospel in this way, what will he say to those with the Acts? |
18191 | But, if so, how came it to find a place in the copies of St John''s Gospel? |
18191 | But, if so, how came the name of Irenæus to be attached to it? |
18191 | Can we imagine that the documents which Irenæus regards in this light had been produced during his own lifetime? |

18191 | Is the language which I have used at all stronger than our author''s own on this point? |
18191 | Is there any reason to think that Papias did directly occupy himself with this subject? |
18191 | Is there reason to believe that the authority in these two passages is the same or different? |
18191 | Is this a true description of the world in the early Christian ages? |
18191 | Is this at all unnatural? |
18191 | Is this the language of one speaking of a book to which''he attached little or no value''? |
18191 | May not the two have been connected together in the context of Papias, as they are in the notice of Eusebius? |
18191 | May not this have been the same person? |
18191 | Must not anyone reading the apology to Dr Westcott, contained in the note quoted above, necessarily carry off a wholly false impression of the facts? |
18191 | Of what then? |
18191 | Shall we understand the word''exposition''to mean''enarration,''or''explanation''? |
18191 | This universal''brotherhood of man,''what is it but a''dogma''of the most comprehensive application? |
18191 | Was I altogether without ground for this belief? |
18191 | Was he, or was he not, as these critics affirm, a Judaic Christian of strongly Ebionite tendencies? |
18191 | Was the author''s main object to construct a new Evangelical narrative, or to interpret and explain one or more already in circulation? |
18191 | Was there then any possibility of a mistake here? |
18191 | Was this mere accident? |
18191 | What can this mean? |
18191 | What first did he write to you in the beginning of the Gospel? |
18191 | What ground is there then for the assumption that Clement did not mention Apollinaris, because Eusebius has not recorded the fact? |
18191 | What is the historical significance of this phenomenon? |
18191 | What is the meaning of all this coincidence of view? |
18191 | What then is the natural interpretation of the title''Exposition of Oracles of''( or''relating to'')''the Lord''? |
18191 | What then is the value of a principle which, when applied in a simple case, leads to conclusions diametrically opposed to historical facts? |
18191 | What wonder then that the Philippians should have asked him to write to them? |
18191 | What, 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_? |
18191 | What? |
18191 | Where did he learn this''certain''piece of information that Tatian thought lightly of St Paul? |
18191 | Who would think of throwing discredit on Lord Macaulay or Mr Freeman, because Robertson or Hume may be inaccurate? |
18191 | Why did Papias introduce this notice of the Hebrew original of St Matthew? |

18191 | Would any one, without a preconceived theory, imagine that''exposition''here meant anything else but explanation or interpretation? |
18191 | Yea, and Polycarp himself also on one occasion, when Marcion confronted him and said,''Dost thou recognize me?'' |
18191 | Yes, but at what time? |

16857 | Indeed, Master? 16857 --Who are my mother and my brethren?" |
16857 | A place of punishment exists; to what quarter shall we look for its anterior probability? |
16857 | A sterile solitariness, easily understandable, and presumably incommunicative? |
16857 | Add also here; is it probable there would be any needless interval placed to pröcreations? |
16857 | Again: as to the latter question; was it probable that such so- called sub- divisions should be two, or three, or how many? |
16857 | Again: what should Joshua want with the moon for daylight, to help him to rout the foes of God more fiercely? |
16857 | And if any one should ask, how was such a system more likely to arise under a Gentile rather than a Jewish theocracy? |

16857 | And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? |
16857 | And the Lord said unto Satan, whence comest thou? |
16857 | And was this dread result of the primal curse and disobedience to be regarded as the Adversary''s triumph? |
16857 | And what misery can such a one complain of, which is not the work of his own hands? |
16857 | But what kind of Unity is probable? |
16857 | But, take the phrases as they stand; and do they not in reason constitute some warning and some prophecy that men should idolize the mother? |
16857 | Could a finer sample be conceived? |
16857 | Do we not see how this bears on our coming argument? |
16857 | Further: and which concerns our argument: what were likely to be the characteristic marks of such a revelation? |
16857 | Had this Accuser-- the Saxon word is Devil-- had this Slanderer of God''s attribute then really beaten Good? |
16857 | Hast thou not made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? |
16857 | How should it not be that he gets worse and worse in morals, and more and more miserable in fact? |
16857 | How should this prolific original, the first man, be created? |
16857 | How, in such a hurlyburly of the elements, should the chosen seed survive? |

16857 | Is it not strange that no St. Helena was at hand to conserve such a desirable invention? |
16857 | Is it possible, O fair and favoured mistress of this beautiful garden, that your Maker has debarred you from its very choicest fruit? |
16857 | Is it reasonable to conceive that such a character could for a moment be satisfied with absolute solitariness? |
16857 | Is not then the existence of evil justified in reason''s calculation? |
16857 | Is there any improbability here? |

16857 | It must, then, be the shape of some other creature; as a lion, or a lamb, or-- why not a serpent? |
16857 | Now, what of man''s own person, circumstances, and individuality? |
16857 | Once more: our objector will here perhaps inquire, Why not then command the earth to stop-- and not the sun and moon? |

16857 | Should he have been cast upon the ground an infant, utterly helpless, requiring miraculous aid and guidance at every turn? |
16857 | Should not David whilst a shepherd praise God among his flocks, and when a king, cry"Give the King thy judgments?" |
16857 | Should not the herdsman of Tehoa plead in pastoral phrase, and the royal son of Amoz denounce with strong authority? |
16857 | Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught? |

16857 | Was it, in this view of the case, an equal contest? |
16857 | Was not all this reasonably to have been looked for? |
16857 | Was not the"long- suffering of God"likely to have thus been tried"while the ark was preparing?" |
16857 | Was not this a just, a sublime, and a likely plan? |
16857 | Was not this a most probable, a most reasonably probable scheme? |

16857 | Why should not the case be so? |
16857 | Why should not this highest Object of faith and this lowest Subject of obedience be born, seemingly by human means, but really by divine? |
16857 | Why should she not come of a lineage and family which for centuries before had held such expectation? |
16857 | Why then withhold the easier matter of an afterward belief? |
16857 | Will you think it a foregone conclusion, if I assert the superior likelihoods of the latter, and not of the former? |

32006 | { 64} III THE RELIGION OF THE UNIVERSE''Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? |
14780 | And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God''s high priest? 14780 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? |
14780 | Are you come out as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? 14780 Art not thou that Egyptian which, before these days, madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?" |
14780 | Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 14780 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? |
14780 | Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? 14780 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? |
14780 | Then the chief captain came, and said unto him( Paul), Tell me, Art thou a Roman? 14780 Were these powers claimed or exercised by the founders of the sects of the Waldenses and Albigenses? |
14780 | Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? 14780 ) Who would not desire, who perceives not the value of an account delivered by a writer so well informed as this? 14780 58)? 14780 A little while and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? 14780 A little while? 14780 An Otaheitean or an Esquimaux knows nothing of Christianity; does he know more of the principles of deism or morality? 14780 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 14780 And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? |
14780 | And he answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? |
14780 | And how did it succeed there? |
14780 | And many of the people believed on him and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than those which this man hath done?" |
14780 | And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? |
14780 | Are the calamities which at this day afflict it to be imputed to Christianity? |
14780 | Are the nations of the world into which Christianity hath not found its way, or from which it hath been banished, free from contentions? |
14780 | Are the truths of natural religion written in the skies, or in a language which every one reads? |
14780 | Are their contentions less ruinous and sanguinary? |
14780 | But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother; and who are my brethren? |
14780 | But is this to do justice, either to themselves or to the religion? |
14780 | But it will be said, if one religion could make its way without miracles, why might not another? |
14780 | But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him: do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? |
14780 | But what are these consequences? |
14780 | Could they expect it from the people,"whose acknowledged confidence in the public religion"they subverted from its foundation? |
14780 | Could they hope to escape the dangers in which he had perished? |
14780 | Did Huss or Jerome in Bohemia? |
14780 | Did Luther in Germany, Zuinglius in Switzerland, Calvin in France, or any of the reformers advance this plea?" |
14780 | Did Wickliffe in England pretend to it? |
14780 | Did the applauded intercommunity of the pagan theology preserve the peace of the Roman world? |
14780 | Do ye not understand that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? |
14780 | Does it check the inference which we draw from the confessed beneficence of the provision? |
14780 | For what are we comparing? |
14780 | From whence did these come? |
14780 | Has it anything to do with it? |
14780 | Has the necessity of this alternative been demonstrated? |
14780 | Hath Poland fallen by a Christian crusade? |
14780 | Hath any founder of a new sect amongst Christians pretended to miraculous powers, and succeeded by his pretensions? |
14780 | Hath the overthrow in France of civil order and security been effected by the votaries of our religion, or by the foes? |
14780 | He censured an overstrained scrupulousness, or perhaps an affectation of scrupulousness, about the Sabbath: but how did he censure it? |
14780 | He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare his generation? |
14780 | If bad men, what could have induced them to take such pains to promote virtue? |
14780 | If it be said that this disposition is unattainable, I answer, so is all perfection: ought therefore a moralist to recommend imperfections? |
14780 | If they would not inquire, how should they be convinced? |
14780 | In these two latter instances the question proposed was,"What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" |
14780 | Is it a probability approaching to certainty? |
14780 | Is it a probability of any great strength or force? |
14780 | Is it for that they contain accounts of supernatural events? |
14780 | Is it incredible that God should interpose for such a purpose? |
14780 | Is it not sufficient for them, that we have sent down unto them the book of the Koran to be read unto them?" |
14780 | Is it such as no evidence can encounter? |
14780 | Lastly, where do we discern a stronger mark of candour, or less disposition to extol and magnify, than in the conclusion of the same history? |
14780 | Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? |
14780 | Now how does this apply to the Christian history? |
14780 | Now in what way can a revelation be made, but by miracles? |
14780 | Now upon the subject of the truth of the Christian religion; with us there is but one question, viz., whether the miracles were actually wrought? |
14780 | Now, how does the history of the age correspond with this account? |
14780 | Now, how stands the proof of this point? |
14780 | Or are our modern unbelievers in Christianity, for that reason, in danger of becoming Mahometans or Hindoos? |
14780 | Or shall we say that some early Christians of taste and education composed these pieces and ascribed them to Christ? |
14780 | Our Saviour, speaking to Peter of John, said,"If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"'' |
14780 | Saint Paul addresses this person as a Jew:"King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? |
14780 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
14780 | Suppose him to design for mankind a future state; is it unlikely that he should acquaint him with it? |
14780 | The next words to these,"who shall declare his generation?" |
14780 | The only question which, in my opinion, can be raised upon the subject is, whether the prophecy was really delivered before the event? |
14780 | The question concerning the woman who had been married to seven brothers,"Whose shall she be on the resurrection?" |
14780 | The remaining letters of the apostles,( and what more original than their letters can we have?) |
14780 | The works of Bede exhibit many wonderful relations: but who, for that reason, doubts that they were written by Bede? |
14780 | Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest?" |
14780 | Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us? |
14780 | Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? |
14780 | Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat? |
14780 | They are not disposed( and why should they?) |
14780 | They said, therefore, What is this that he saith? |
14780 | This happy peculiarity is a strong proof of the genuineness of these writings: for who should forge them? |
14780 | This question is, in effect, no other than whether the story which Christians have now be the story which Christians had then? |
14780 | This, without ascribing to him at the same time some proofs of his mission,( and what other but supernatural proofs could there be?) |
14780 | Was any reader of English history ever sceptic enough to raise from hence a question whether the Marquis of Argyle was executed or not? |
14780 | Was it bigotry that carried Alexander into the East, or brought Caesar into Gaul? |
14780 | Was it the part of a writer who dealt in suppression and disguise to put down this anecdote? |
14780 | Was our Saviour, in fact, a well instructed philosopher, whilst he is represented to us as an illiterate peasant? |
14780 | What account can be given of the body, upon the supposition of enthusiasm? |
14780 | What could the disciples of Christ expect for themselves when they saw their master put to death? |
14780 | What had the apostles to assist them in propagating Christianity which the missionaries have not? |
14780 | What knew they of grace, of redemption, of justification, of the blood of Christ shed for the sins of men, of reconcilement, of mediation? |
14780 | What was Jesus in external appearance? |
14780 | When was ever a change of religion patronized by infidels? |
14780 | Whence had this man his wisdom? |
14780 | Whereas, may it not be said that irresistible evidence would confound all characters and all dispositions? |
14780 | Who hath believed our report? |
14780 | Who is there that would not wish his son to be a Christian? |
14780 | Who that has any charity? |
14780 | Who was likely to record the travels, sufferings, labours, or successes of the apostles, but one of their own number, or of their followers? |
14780 | Who were his coadjutors in the undertaking,--the persons into whose hands the religion came after his death? |
14780 | Who would write a history of Christianity, but a Christian? |
14780 | Why askest thou me? |
14780 | Why should we question the genuineness of these books? |
14780 | Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? |
14780 | and in thy name done many wonderful works? |
14780 | and in thy name have cast out devils? |
14780 | and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? |
14780 | and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? |
14780 | are much cleared up in their meaning by the bishop''s version;"his manner of life who would declare?" |
14780 | did it prevent oppressions, proscriptions, massacres, devastation? |
14780 | i. e. who would stand forth in his defence? |
14780 | or does it make us cease to admire the contrivance? |
14780 | or is this the case with the most useful arts, or the most necessary sciences of human life? |
14780 | who 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(? |
42460 | And does not the same principle apply in other cases? |
42460 | And first as to their_ motives_, had they any interest in asserting that Christ rose from the dead unless they really believed it? |
42460 | And how could such a story have been current within twenty years of the event, if nothing of the kind had occurred? |
42460 | And if He knows everything, why should He not care about everything? |
42460 | And if he had done so, would not his story have been instantly refuted? |
42460 | And 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? |
42460 | And is it likely that they would have had any sufficient motive to induce them to make the attempt? |
42460 | And 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? |
42460 | And lastly, as to his_ Reasoning_: did he draw the right conclusion? |
42460 | And then, what became of Him afterwards? |
42460 | And this being so, what shall we say of the millions of men who have lived, and are now living, on this earth? |
42460 | And we may ask, how could any writer have asserted all this, even a century afterwards, if no such sign had occurred? |
42460 | And we may ask, is it likely that such a vast scheme should end in failure, or at most in only a temporary success? |
42460 | And we may ask, would an Omnipotent God, Who cared for man''s welfare, have ever designed all this? |
42460 | And what reason have we for thinking that God would change His method now? |
42460 | And what shall we say of Christ''s frequent commands to keep His miracles_ secret_? |
42460 | And when we turn to the only other free being we know of, which is man himself, what do we find? |
42460 | And who will assert that this is an unknown experience? |
42460 | And why? |
42460 | And, 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? |
42460 | Are They, for instance, all three Persons? |
42460 | Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man''s days? |
42460 | But again we must ask how did the writer know that such creatures were ever plentiful enough, or important enough, to deserve this special mention? |
42460 | But again we must ask, what was it that enabled the Christians alone in that age of vice and wickedness to lead pure lives? |
42460 | But are they credible? |
42460 | But can we imagine a late writer in Canaan using such a phrase without explaining it? |
42460 | But could a mere human Teacher have had this more than human influence over thousands of converts, most of whom had never seen him? |
42460 | But did they, and do we possess this record in the Pentateuch? |
42460 | But for what is it matured? |
42460 | But how could the writer have known it, unless it had been divinely revealed? |
42460 | But how was it possible for the writer of Genesis to know all this? |
42460 | But is there a life after death? |
42460 | But is this improbability sufficient in all cases to make the event incredible, no matter what testimony there may be in its favour? |
42460 | But it may be said, do not the Gospels themselves contradict one another in some places, and if so they can not all be correct? |
42460 | But it may be said, has it not also done some_ harm_? |
42460 | But it may be said, may not all these quotations be from some_ Lost Gospel_? |
42460 | But it may be said, why ascribe this madness to an evil spirit? |
42460 | But ought he to add that it was therefore incredible? |
42460 | But to whom does the_ we_ refer, as she was apparently alone all the time? |
42460 | But was this belief justified? |
42460 | But we may ask, how did the writer of Genesis know all this? |
42460 | But we may ask, would the Jews have adopted such an expedient had there been any possibility of denying that the miracles occurred? |
42460 | But what becomes of the spirit? |
42460 | But what gave them this intense zeal? |
42460 | But what is the cause of this similarity? |
42460 | But what is the cause of this? |
42460 | But what shall we say when they were both made_ and_ fulfilled? |
42460 | But what then? |
42460 | But what then? |
42460 | But what then? |
42460 | But why not? |
42460 | But( apart from Revelation) how could the writer have known it? |
42460 | Can a jellyfish design? |
42460 | Can both be true? |
42460 | Can we dare to face it? |
42460 | Can we imagine a writer of fiction_ accidentally_ arranging these details in different parts of his book, which fit together so perfectly? |
42460 | Can we imagine anyone doing so at the present day? |
42460 | Can we imagine the best man that ever lived saying, If you have seen me, you have seen God? |
42460 | Can 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? |
42460 | Does not, it is urged, this very fact of itself form a difficulty? |
42460 | Eighthly, how are we to account for visionary_ conversations_? |
42460 | Evolution would then have_ God_ for its Cause, and_ man_ for its purpose-- an undoubtedly adequate_ Cause_, but is it an adequate_ purpose_? |
42460 | For are the wicked to be_ punished_ after death previous to their destruction? |
42460 | For how can men be convinced of Christianity, or anything else, if they will not take the trouble to examine its claims? |
42460 | For if He knows about it, why should He not care about it? |
42460 | For is it conceivable that Irenà ¦ us would have ascribed it to St. John, unless his teacher Polycarp had done the same? |
42460 | For what evidence could we expect to have? |
42460 | For what was the origin of the Egyptian doctrine itself? |
42460 | For 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_? |
42460 | Genesis then starts from the right starting- point, but again we must ask, how did the writer know this? |
42460 | God we may be sure does not act without motives, and what adequate motive can be suggested for the Incarnation? |
42460 | Have we not here a powerful argument in favour of Christianity? |
42460 | His feeling forsaken by God, and using these actual words:''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'' |
42460 | His ideas are not like ours; for what adequate motive can we suggest for His creating man at all? |
42460 | How can all this be reconciled? |
42460 | How could a solitary God dwelling alone before the Creation of the world have been able to exercise either His Power or His Wisdom? |
42460 | How do we know that but for the prayers it might not have continued for a month and killed a thousand? |
42460 | How then did they let it escape? |
42460 | How then would this theory suit the facts of the case? |
42460 | How, then, could it have originated, except by some process other than natural,_ i.e._, supernatural? |
42460 | How, then, did the variations in each organism first arise? |
42460 | If 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? |
42460 | If the Pentateuch is a contemporary document, probably written by Moses, can we reject the miracles which it records? |
42460 | If we have to admit endless misery for these, why not for man? |
42460 | In every age conquerors have loved to record their conquests, and why should the Jews alone have been an exception? |
42460 | In other words, could not all_ sin_ have been excluded from the world? |
42460 | In short, what is man''s destiny here and hereafter? |
42460 | In short, why are not the evidences in favour of Christianity_ stronger_? |
42460 | Is it a trustworthy, and, on the whole, accurate account of the events which it records? |
42460 | Is it a_ contemporary_ document, written by, or in the time of, Moses? |
42460 | Is it conceivable that such doctrines should be true, no matter what evidence they may have in their favour? |
42460 | Is it likely that, if guilty of it, they would have been able to pass it off successfully on the whole nation? |
42460 | Is not this equally hard on the other man? |
42460 | Is then, this doctrine stated or implied in the New Testament? |
42460 | Is there a judgment? |
42460 | Is there any forgiveness for sin? |
42460 | Is there any life beyond death? |
42460 | Is this then incredible, or even improbable? |
42460 | It reads like extracts from an old diary, and why should all these insignificant details be recorded? |
42460 | Many may do this voluntarily, but what about the remainder? |
42460 | May not the difficulties in both cases, but especially in regard to the latter, be due to our_ ignorance_ only? |
42460 | Might not then God''s love induce Him to become man, so that He might the more easily win man''s love? |
42460 | Neither the eye nor the brain sees, they are mere collections of molecules of matter, and how can a molecule see anything? |
42460 | Next as to his_ Investigation_: did he avail himself of those means? |
42460 | Next as to his_ Knowledge_: had he the means of knowing the truth? |
42460 | Next as to their_ conduct_, did this show that they really believed what they preached? |
42460 | No 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? |
42460 | Now all this may be admitted, but what then? |
42460 | Now could any writer have described all this, even a century afterwards, if nothing of the kind had occurred? |
42460 | Now 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? |
42460 | Now what conclusion can be drawn from all this? |
42460 | Now what effect has this on our present inquiry as to the truth of Christianity? |
42460 | Now what follows from this? |
42460 | Now what was the cause of this wonderful progress? |
42460 | Now, have we any reason for thinking that God also combines, in their highest forms, these two attributes of mercy and justice? |
42460 | One remaining objection, why are there so many difficulties, and no more obvious proof? |
42460 | Or is it conceivable that Polycarp, who personally knew St. John, could have been mistaken in the matter? |
42460 | Or 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? |
42460 | Or, 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? |
42460 | Shall we recognise those whom we have loved on earth? |
42460 | So again when God says,''Whom shall_ I_ send, and who will go for_ us_?'' |
42460 | Still it may be said, this only lessens the difficulty; for why should animals suffer pain at all? |
42460 | Still, it may be asked, is not the hope of future reward meant to influence men at all? |
42460 | Still, it may be asked, why should some persons be given this faculty of faith, while others are not? |
42460 | Taking, then, the Gospels as our guide, what is the character of Christ? |
42460 | The two earlier Creeds speak of the life everlasting( for the good), but what is to become of the bad? |
42460 | Then there is this further difficulty: what is to become of the evil angels? |
42460 | There must have been some motive in all this, and what adequate motive can be suggested? |
42460 | Therefore God can not force man to love Him, He can only induce him; and how can He do this better than by an Incarnation? |
42460 | Therefore a revelation is certainly_ possible_; but is it at all_ probable_? |
42460 | This is indeed one of our deepest, strongest, and most universal longings( who is there that has not felt it? |
42460 | This is what occurs frequently at the present day, and why should it not have occurred then? |
42460 | This seems only a trifle, but what does it mean? |
42460 | This, as before said, is the chief cause of human misery, and might it not have been avoided? |
42460 | Thus the Father implies the Son, for how can there be a Father, unless there is a Son( or at least a child)? |
42460 | Was it the human prophet, or was it God Who inspired the prophet to write as he did? |
42460 | We have, lastly, to inquire, is this Religion correctly summarised in the doctrines and statements of the_ Three Creeds_? |
42460 | What about the religious wars and persecutions in the Middle Ages? |
42460 | What 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? |
42460 | What chance would there be of any one of the prophecies( leave alone all three) coming true, and_ remaining true for two thousand years_? |
42460 | What chance would they have of making a single convert? |
42460 | What effect would this have on our former conclusions? |
42460 | What evidence have we, then, that the first witnesses suffered for the truth of what they preached? |
42460 | What is the meaning of death? |
42460 | What is the meaning of sin? |
42460 | What, then, is the value of the evidence they afford as to the history of the Jewish Religion having been confirmed by miracles? |
42460 | When then would it be necessary to explain to the Israelites that these places, Shechem, etc., were in Canaan? |
42460 | Where else indeed shall we find a personal being at all? |
42460 | Where else shall we find a personal being with attributes superior to those of man? |
42460 | Why are not the prophecies plainer? |
42460 | Why does man exist at all? |
42460 | Why has he got free will? |
42460 | Why may not the wicked go on sinning for ever? |
42460 | Why not, it is said, settle the question once for all by a test case? |
42460 | Why should a universe of dead matter have ever produced life? |
42460 | Why should not man be a partly supernatural being? |
42460 | Why should there have been any evolution at all? |
42460 | Why, it is asked, did He only appear to His own disciples? |
42460 | Why, it is said, are there no miracles_ now_, when they could be properly tested? |
42460 | Why, it is said, if these prophecies really refer to Christ, are they not plainer? |
42460 | Why, then, should the fact of God being in His true nature unknowable prevent our having some real, though partial, knowledge of Him? |
42460 | Would a late writer, for instance, have thought of inventing questions which the Apostles wanted to ask their Master, but were afraid to do so? |
42460 | Would, for instance, wishing to see or trying to see, even if blind animals were capable of either, have ever given them eyes? |
42460 | Yet if it is known, does it not constitute all the proof we could expect of the action of an evil spirit? |
42460 | Yet 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? |
42460 | and if so, are They three Gods? |
42460 | and what should we think of him if he did? |
42460 | if so, are They all three Divine? |
42460 | is there, that is, at least a slight chance that they would occur? |
19566 | And after that? |
19566 | And after that? |
19566 | And 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? |
19566 | Has 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?" |
19566 | I ask, Whence came these properties? 19566 In the year of Christ-- what new Olympiad may be that?" |
19566 | The United States of course means the States of the Achæn League, but on what shore of the Euxine may Mexico and California be found? |
19566 | Thou 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? |
19566 | What, into a prayer- meeting? 19566 Where is the way where light dwelleth, And as for darkness, what is the place thereof? |
19566 | Who 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? |
19566 | And how did he know that the"I"thought? |
19566 | And if a revelation comes from God, why have we not such evidence for it as mathematical demonstration?" |
19566 | And if a snail, or a worm, can contrive to live now in an unimproved condition, why should its improving cousin die off? |
19566 | And if he could, how many of my most important affairs can I submit to the multiplication table, or lay off in squares and triangles? |
19566 | And if he will never return to inquire whether men obey or disobey his law, who will regard it? |
19566 | And in a few days myself also cease to be? |
19566 | And now[ 1864] who would venture to predict the time of the close of that sad war? |
19566 | And thy own god- created soul, dost thou not call that a revelation? |
19566 | And what is the fuel which feeds these unquenchable fires? |
19566 | And whence are these? |
19566 | And whether he does not directly claim to work miracles by the immediate power of God? |
19566 | And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he saith unto them, Have ye here any meat? |
19566 | And whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
19566 | And why? |
19566 | And your labor for that which satisfieth not? |
19566 | Are Saturn''s rings solid, or liquid? |
19566 | Are the atmospheres of the planets like ours? |
19566 | Are the light and heat of the sun begotten of combustion? |
19566 | Are they all eternal in their present combinations? |
19566 | Are they built of the same material as our planet? |
19566 | Are you looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God? |
19566 | Are 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? |
19566 | Are you washed from your sins? |
19566 | Are your likes and dislikes, your sentiments and sympathies, your understanding and your will, all brought into subjection to Christ? |
19566 | Aye, and as much more as God is greater than man? |
19566 | Because a gymnast can leap over two horses, can his son leap over three? |
19566 | But do you ever hear any of them use such phrases as"earth rising,"and"earth setting?" |
19566 | But how did man get this extraordinary development of brain, far beyond his necessities? |
19566 | But how does our Infidel geologist set about his work of proving that the earth is any given age, say six thousand millions of years? |
19566 | But how many volumes of this stone book have you perused personally? |
19566 | But how much of it is experimental science_ to you_? |
19566 | But if six generations could thus be born in Syria, or India, in a century, why not in Egypt? |
19566 | But if so, what becomes of the rings of the nebular theory? |
19566 | But it is worth while to inquire, Is science really so positive, and religion so uncertain, as these persons allege? |
19566 | But then comes the great question, What is below the granite? |
19566 | But then it is asked, Is God the Author of an imperfect law? |
19566 | But we demand to know what standard of morals our objectors adopt? |
19566 | But what, it has been asked, is a brief period of 3,000 years, when compared with the geologic ages? |
19566 | But, however fully the atheist may know that matter is eternal, we do not know any such thing, and must be allowed to ask, How do_ you_ know? |
19566 | But, my good sir, how am I to know what kind will suit me? |
19566 | But_ the_ question-- which we marvel beyond measure that the bishop overlooks-- always was, Where did Cain get his wife? |
19566 | By what process of philosophical induction is religion alone put beyond the sphere of faith and hope? |
19566 | CAN WE BELIEVE CHRIST AND HIS APOSTLES? |
19566 | CHAPTER V. WHO WROTE THE NEW TESTAMENT? |
19566 | CHAPTER V. Who Wrote the New Testament? |
19566 | Can We Believe Christ and His Apostles? |
19566 | Can intelligences be compounded, or like bricks and mortar, piled upon each other? |
19566 | Can you heartily love and adore a sin- hating, sin- avenging God? |
19566 | Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion? |

19566 | Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go And say unto thee,''Here we are?''" |
19566 | Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? |
19566 | Canst thou thunder with a voice like Him? |
19566 | Canst_ thou_ set the dominion thereof in the earth? |
19566 | Could God give a defective code of morals? |
19566 | Could I prosecute the toils of study alone, without companion or friend to share my labors? |
19566 | Could the New Testament be Corrupted? |
19566 | Could you, or could any man, have permission to alter the original copy of Washington''s Farewell Address? |
19566 | DID THE WORLD MAKE ITSELF? |
19566 | Did a mass of iron, becoming discontented with its gravity, suddenly metamorphose itself into a cloud of gas, or into a pail of water? |
19566 | Did he know what he was about in making it? |
19566 | Did it contain within itself all the principles of things, all the forces now found in the worlds which grew out of it? |
19566 | Did it go to the sun, or to the moon, or to the pole star, or to this earth? |
19566 | Did it kindle of its own accord? |
19566 | Did its improvement kill it? |
19566 | Did the Council of Nice Make the Bible? |
19566 | Did the World Make Itself? |
19566 | Did the loaves and fishes miraculously multiply in numbers, or increase in size? |
19566 | Did the mist make itself? |
19566 | Did the small potatoes beget the big ones? |
19566 | Did these men tell the truth when they told the world that they did eat and drink with Jesus after he rose from the dead, or did they lie? |
19566 | Did these secure them against the moral government of God? |
19566 | Did this gospel of Christ actually produce any such reformation of their lives? |
19566 | Did you ever study the employment of the saints there? |
19566 | Do they not unanimously denounce geologists and astronomers as heretics, for asserting the vast antiquity of the earth?" |
19566 | Do you ever hear astronomers, in common discourse, use any other language? |
19566 | Do you know any science which has been prosecuted by one- hundredth part of this number of inquirers? |
19566 | Do you know any? |
19566 | Do you mean to say that these are not essential elements of the Old Testament religion?" |
19566 | Do you suppose the world will be turned upside down, and reformed, by a little good advice? |
19566 | Do you think anybody could forge a letter as from me, and impose it on them? |
19566 | Does anybody go to Macaulay to look for the history of the Westminster Assembly, or to Bancroft for an account of the Great Revival in New England? |
19566 | Does he care whether it answers any purpose or not? |
19566 | Does he know what is going on in it? |
19566 | Does it mean just twenty- four hours there? |
19566 | Does not every one know that nothing marvelous ever happened, or, if it did, would any historian trouble himself to record a prodigy? |
19566 | Does the gradation show that the little ones begot the big ones? |
19566 | Does the grave hide forever all that I loved? |
19566 | Every Other Book Inspired? |
19566 | Fill it as full of electricity, magnetism and odyle as you please; do these afford any_ reason_ for its very extraordinary conduct? |
19566 | For still the questions arise, Where did this almighty matter come from? |
19566 | For the effecting of a creation out of nothing? |
19566 | For what cause is the fortune of these countries so strikingly changed? |
19566 | For who can better direct me when I hesitate, or instruct me when I am ignorant? |
19566 | For, if not, of what use is it for you to trouble yourself about the Old Testament? |
19566 | HAVE WE ANY NEED OF THE BIBLE? |
19566 | Had Seth a wife? |
19566 | Had he any object in view in forming it? |
19566 | Had it a mind, and a will, and a perception of propriety? |
19566 | Has he forgotten the straws carried over all Ireland in one night, and the Chupatties of the Indian Mutiny? |
19566 | Has he given me the principle of curiosity, without which such an endowment were useless? |
19566 | Has not Reaumer suppressed Peysonnel''s''Essay on Corals,''because he thought it was madness to maintain their animal nature? |
19566 | Has the Creator of the world common sense? |
19566 | Has the moon an atmosphere? |
19566 | Have We Any Need of the Bible? |
19566 | Have they ceased to be? |
19566 | Have we any testimony on the subject? |
19566 | Have we fifty- seven eternal beings? |
19566 | Have you not willingly remained in ignorance of the contents of the Bible, because you dislike its commands? |
19566 | Have you, in fact, ever seen one in a thousand of these minerals and fossils_ in situ_? |
19566 | He looked at it a moment, and then inquired:"H- h- how do you know it''s A?" |
19566 | He puts forth his energy for what? |
19566 | He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he be not correct? |
19566 | He that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
19566 | He 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. |
19566 | He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? |
19566 | He that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know? |
19566 | Hear him._"What saith Christ, then, respecting the Old Testament? |
19566 | How came the world to be under law without a lawgiver? |
19566 | How can any one imagine a being composed of the sum of all the intelligences of the universe? |
19566 | How can such contradictions be true? |
19566 | How can we accept their code of morals if we refuse to believe them when they speak of matters of fact? |
19566 | How could Noah and his three sons build a ship larger than the Great Eastern? |
19566 | How could an eternal red heat cool down? |
19566 | How could the chemical actions of dead matter infuse vitality into the first germ, or bud of a plant? |
19566 | How did he know that there was an"I"to think? |
19566 | How did he stumble over it without record of his misadventure? |
19566 | How did they all get religion? |
19566 | How did they come to do so? |
19566 | How did they come to receive them in this manner? |
19566 | How did they get it so suddenly? |
19566 | How did they get so much of it? |
19566 | How does he prove that mud was deposited at just the same rate then as now? |
19566 | How does it happen that this singular people is dispersed over all the earth, and yet distinct and unamalgamated with any other? |
19566 | How does the Infidel account for it? |
19566 | How happens it then that the human race has of a sudden waked up to such a strange sense of the folly of idolatry and the value of religion? |
19566 | How many of the nine hundred and forty- two substances treated of in Turner''s Chemistry have you analyzed? |
19566 | How much of this fourth part have geologists been able to examine? |
19566 | How now, from this word being used by Moses, could this learned bishop conclude that he necessarily meant to describe the globe? |
19566 | How should they?--treating of different countries, and for the most part of different periods, and writing civil and not church history? |
19566 | How would you like to have a fish for your forefather? |
19566 | How, then, can philosophers ever learn the process of building worlds like our own in which many other powers are at work? |
19566 | How, then, is the nerve to be protected, and yet the sight not obstructed? |
19566 | I ask her whence I came? |
19566 | I inquire what I am? |
19566 | I says to him,''Look here, stranger, do you see that tavern there?'' |
19566 | IS GOD EVERYBODY, AND EVERYBODY GOD? |
19566 | IS THE GOSPEL FACT OR FABLE? |
19566 | If I am able, by my own reason, to construct a perfect standard of morals to judge the Bible by, what need have I for the Bible revelation? |
19566 | If he possessed no divine authority, what right has he to control your inclination or mine? |
19566 | If it had not, where did it get them? |
19566 | If it is any one of them, where did the others come from? |
19566 | If its top reaches not to heaven, can it make a ladder long enough to carry us there? |
19566 | If man is the highest intelligence in the universe, to whom should he render an account of his conduct? |
19566 | If not, how did attraction, and repulsion, vegetable life, animal life, intellect, and free will, work themselves into that cloud of homogeneous gas? |
19566 | If so, how came they there? |
19566 | If 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? |
19566 | If they could, did these finite intelligences create themselves? |
19566 | If they were not, where did they come from? |
19566 | If they were, how did they escape being burnt to ashes? |
19566 | If_ create_, and_ make_, and_ form_, have all the same meaning, why use them all in the same verse? |
19566 | In short, how are we to make the chemical materials live? |
19566 | In short, is it a genuine book, or merely a collection of myths with the apostles''names appended to them by some lying monks? |
19566 | In the division of the property,_ what became of the mind_? |
19566 | Is God Everybody, and Everybody God? |
19566 | Is Jesus the Christ the Son of the Living God, or a deceiver?" |
19566 | Is Jesus the Messiah of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write? |
19566 | Is a peach- tree just like a horse- chestnut, or a scrub- oak, or a honey- locust? |
19566 | Is it a fact, or a forgery? |
19566 | Is it a true history or a lying romance? |
19566 | Is it because you perceive they lead to results which you dislike? |
19566 | Is it credible that an impostor would direct his forgery to be publicly read? |
19566 | Is it credible that they would allow them to be altered and corrupted? |
19566 | Is it iron, or sulphur, or clay, or oxygen? |
19566 | Is it possible he could make such a beast of himself in such a short time?" |
19566 | Is it possible then that these converted heathens did really even approach this standard of morality? |
19566 | Is it uniform, or like our atmosphere, ever varying? |
19566 | Is it your daily prayer, Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly? |
19566 | Is not the abundance of quack doctors conclusive proof of the existence of disease, and of the need of physicians? |
19566 | Is that the Infidel''s notion of virtue? |
19566 | Is the Gospel Fact or Fable? |
19566 | Is the fire that heated it burning still, or is it exhausted for want of fuel? |
19566 | Is the religious appetite the only one for which God has provided no supply? |
19566 | Is this Book genuine or a forgery? |
19566 | Is this unchangeable Jehovah your God? |
19566 | Is your ignorance the measure of God''s wisdom? |
19566 | Is your mind purified from your carnal notions? |
19566 | It can not deviate from its fated course of proceeding; therefore, says the Pantheist, why should I pray? |
19566 | It gives no answer to the questions, How did it get to be so hot, while all the space around it was so cold? |
19566 | It is high, I can not attain unto it; Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? |
19566 | It is not, Did Christ reveal more than Moses? |
19566 | Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? |
19566 | Let the unbeliever, then, be asked, Is there no truth in prophecy?--no reality in religion?" |
19566 | Mankind, it seems, will have a Church and a Bible of some sort; why not go to work and make a Church and a Bible of their own? |
19566 | Matthew Poole says:"Where was the need of overwhelming those regions of the earth in which there were no human beings? |
19566 | May not the life of the nation be as liable to accidents and diseases as that of the individual? |
19566 | Nay, is there a letter in your own, or in any other alphabet, that was not originally a picture of something? |
19566 | Now 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? |
19566 | Now that is certainly a remarkable fact, and all the more remarkable if we inquire, How came it so? |
19566 | Now what are the facts given to solve the problem of the earth''s age? |
19566 | Now what is the cause of this remarkable conversion of prince, priests, and people? |
19566 | Now, I demand to know whether they are aware that the earth''s rotation on its axis is the cause of day and night? |
19566 | Now, if so, why winnow such chaff? |
19566 | Now, if this was a falsehood, what motive had they to tell it? |
19566 | Now, we are tempted to ask, Who are these wonderful prodigies, so incapable of receiving instruction from anybody? |
19566 | Of what possible use would the Christian code of morals be without the authority of Christ, the lawgiver? |
19566 | Of what, then, do they consist? |
19566 | One- half? |
19566 | One- tenth? |
19566 | Or are they all eternal? |
19566 | Or canst thou guide Arcturus, with his sons? |
19566 | Or do they signify the orderly and regular sequence of cause and effect, which is so manifest in the course of all events? |
19566 | Or do you shrink back in terror or dislike from God''s denunciations of wrath against the wicked? |
19566 | Or how could any such argument be founded on a basis so little extended? |
19566 | Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? |
19566 | Or is the veracity of Baillie, or Edwards suspected, because political history does not concern itself much about religion? |
19566 | Or shall my soul exist under God''s frowns, or perish under his just sentence, even as my body perishes? |
19566 | Or what does it signify to you or me, reader, that the Bible raises its head far above the other cedars of earthly literature? |
19566 | Or who would have any right to call him to account? |
19566 | Or, if some wiseacre did prepare such a book, would it be very useful to children? |
19566 | Or, if variable, is the variation caused by the original difference of the projectile force of the different suns, stars, comets, etc.? |
19566 | Our text ascribes for him perception and intelligence:_ He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? |
19566 | Perhaps some one is ready to ask, What is the use of so many lenses in the eye? |
19566 | Reason asks herself, Will God be always thus angry with me? |
19566 | SCIENCE, OR FAITH? |
19566 | Science or Faith? |
19566 | Shall I always feel these pangs of remorse for my sins? |
19566 | Shall we adore his soul? |
19566 | Shall we ever meet again? |
19566 | Shall we then adore the souls of Kepler and Newton? |
19566 | So 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? |
19566 | State the Question Sharply-- Why? |
19566 | Strange questions you will say; yet we need to ask a stranger question: Had the world a Creator, or did it make itself? |
19566 | Suppose we ask, Could God speak Hebrew-- a language so defective in philosophical terms? |
19566 | Take 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? |
19566 | Take away the persons, and of what value are the things? |
19566 | That of the ancient oriental world in which Israel lived? |
19566 | The boy eyed the A for a moment and then asked:"H- h- how do you know but he l- l- lied?" |
19566 | The grand question is: How does the protoplasm become alive? |
19566 | The inner nature of the cannibal and of the Rationalist is the same-- whence comes the difference of character and conduct? |
19566 | The 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? |
19566 | The question is whether reason can accept the fact, though science can not even imagine the process? |
19566 | The question is, Can we believe them? |
19566 | The question then is simply this, Was Jesus really the Divine Person he claimed to be, or was he a blasphemous impostor? |
19566 | Then I demand of you,"What more could either God or man do to convince you of their truthfulness?" |
19566 | Then how came they to get together at all, and particularly how did they put themselves in their present shapes? |
19566 | Then why is it any cooler now? |
19566 | These arguments from ignorance need no other answer than the questions, Do you know how the sun shines at all? |
19566 | This is the book about which we make our present inquiry, Who wrote it? |
19566 | Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?" |
19566 | Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? |
19566 | Unbeliever, are you prepared to meet him there, and prove him a perjured impostor? |
19566 | Unpopular, pure, and penniless, if the gospel story were not true, how could it have had preachers? |
19566 | Very well, what time was that? |
19566 | W.?" |
19566 | WAS YOUR MOTHER A MONKEY? |
19566 | Was Your Mother a Monkey? |
19566 | Was it red hot enough from all eternity to melt granite? |
19566 | Was it so from eternity? |
19566 | We 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? |
19566 | We can not avoid asking with as much gravity as we can command, Where did the mist come from? |
19566 | We say to our would- be philosophers, When you tell us that matter is eternal, how does that account for the formation of this world? |
19566 | We sell our property for bank- bills, but who dare say they will ever be paid in specie? |

19566 | Would such appeals have been suffered to pass uncontradicted had the statements of the apostles been false? |
19566 | Would you profess yourself competent to take even the preliminary observation for fixing the instruments for such a reckoning? |
19566 | Would your benevolence lead you to deal alike with the righteous and the wicked; and to abhor the thought of destroying them that destroy the earth? |

20610 | ''Emily Warren?'' 20610 ''Poor old soul-- she looks very wretched: what''s her name?'' |
20610 | ''Who is that miserable old woman, bothering every body?'' 20610 A shilling, Muster Jennings?" |
20610 | About what, madam? 20610 And approves of all this spooneying, ey, miss?" |
20610 | Ay, ay-- he sees through it all, and so do I now-- ey? 20610 But I must shake off all this lethargy of gloom, dearest, dearest girl-- how can I dare to call you so? |
20610 | But I say, governor, I rather think that you''ve astonished us all: what on earth made you turn so soft of a sudden, and write that letter? |
20610 | But it''s true enough for all that, Simon: how d''ye manage it, eh, boy? 20610 But what on earth''s the matter, Grace?" |
20610 | But, dearest mamma, how can I be so silent when my heart is full? 20610 Certainly, Thomas, they were only too glad, and I will add, so was I, to get your kind--""Mine? |
20610 | Charles alive? |
20610 | Charles, what can have come to you? 20610 Charles-- where''s Charles? |
20610 | Come along with us, Master Acton, you''re wanted somewhere else; up, man, look alive, will you? |
20610 | Come along, Mynton; Hunt, now mind you try and lame that big beast of a raw- boned charger among these gutters, will you? 20610 Cut it down; why cumbereth it the earth?" |
20610 | Dear me, that''s very odd-- isn''t it, general? |
20610 | Dear, dear sir, how can you ask me that? |
20610 | Dear, it was a pity though to fling away the honey; but what became of the shawl, Ben? |
20610 | Dearest, dearest mamma, how can I thank you sufficiently for all this? 20610 Did you look in the ash- pit?" |
20610 | Do, Jonathan? |
20610 | Dream, goodman-- what dream? |
20610 | Emily, child,--and he added something in Hindostanee,"have I been kind to you-- and do you owe me any love?" |
20610 | Emily,asked the general, in a very unusual stretch of curiosity,"where have you been to with Charles Tracy? |
20610 | Emily-- Emily, poor dear Julian--"What the devil, ma''am, of Julian? |
20610 | Emmy, whom have I to ask? 20610 Ey? |
20610 | Ey? 20610 Gold, father? |
20610 | Granting 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? |
20610 | Hallo? 20610 Happy, child? |
20610 | Have you heard any tidings of my poor boy, Emmy? |
20610 | How do I know it? 20610 How should I know, mother; is n''t he up yet?" |
20610 | How? 20610 I do n''t know-- but where did you leave him, Julian?" |
20610 | Impossible-- ey? 20610 Indeed, Master? |
20610 | Indeed, sir? 20610 Is he rich, Lady Dillaway? |
20610 | Is he rich, ma''am? 20610 Is it true, Ben, is it true? |
20610 | Is n''t the last word''troubles,''child? 20610 Jokes, Acton? |
20610 | Jonathan, can I see the baronet? |
20610 | Julian, Julian, what are you about? 20610 Kind neighbour, thank you, thank you; where''s Emmy? |
20610 | Leave you? 20610 Love her, mother? |
20610 | Ma''am, never mention that woman again-- ey? 20610 Madman? |
20610 | Marry? 20610 Master, have I your honour''s permission to speak?" |
20610 | Murder!--fire!--rape!--thieves!--what, Nephew Jennings, is that you, with all my honey pots? 20610 Murdered? |
20610 | My Emily-- oh, what have I said? 20610 Nephew, what rhymes to money?" |
20610 | Never mind that, Julian; you surely would not read another person''s letters, Monsieur le Chevalier Bayard? |
20610 | Not 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? |
20610 | Oh yes, he remembered, certainly; but-- but where was her letter? |
20610 | Oh, you do, do you? 20610 P.S.1.--Remember me to our boy, or boys-- which is it? |
20610 | Play upon you?--generous-- your gold-- what is it you mean, man? 20610 Pretty fairish articles, eh? |
20610 | Really, sir!--you surprise me;--pardon me, but I will send that note: must n''t I chastise the fellow for this insufferable outrage? |
20610 | Should such a one as I? |
20610 | So, George, you consider him a gentleman, do you? 20610 So, ma''am-- ey? |
20610 | So, my fine young fellow, you are a footman, eh, at Hurstley? |
20610 | Think, mother? 20610 Well, Aunt Quarles, is it your meaning to undertake a new master?" |
20610 | Well, Jonathan, what is it? |
20610 | Well, Julian, and who can help loving her? |
20610 | What do you call this, sir? |
20610 | What letter? 20610 What''s all this, Mr. Saunders? |
20610 | What-- coward? 20610 What-- what-- what does he say to you, Emily?" |
20610 | What? |
20610 | Where''s Tom? |
20610 | Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness, like pillars of smoke? |
20610 | Whom are you writing to, George, in such a hurry? |
20610 | Why should he be so cold, with all his impetuosity? 20610 Why, Charles, what in the world are you dreaming about? |
20610 | Why, Emmy? 20610 Why, Grace,"suddenly said Floyd, in a very nervous way,"what makes you call upon my master in this tidy trim?" |
20610 | Why, honest Roger, how in the world could you ha''come by that? |
20610 | Why, what''s the matter now? |
20610 | Wo n''t you take a keepsake, Grace-- one little token? 20610 Yes, Julian-- why not? |
20610 | You 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? |
20610 | 134,( need I name it?) |
20610 | A book, so simply titled, with haply underneath a gigantic note of admiration between two humble queries?!? |
20610 | A book, so simply titled, with haply underneath a gigantic note of admiration between two humble queries?!? |
20610 | A place of punishment exists; to what quarter shall we look for its anterior probability? |
20610 | A sterile solitariness, easily understandable, and presumably incommunicative? |
20610 | Add also here; is it probable there would be any needless interval placed to pröcreations? |
20610 | Again: as to the latter question; was it probable that such so- called sub- divisions should be two, or three, or how many? |
20610 | Again: what should Joshua want with the moon for daylight, to help him to rout the foes of God more fiercely? |
20610 | All''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? |
20610 | And are not these unbounded pleasures, spreading over life, and comforting the struggles of a death- bed? |
20610 | And canst thou, blessed God, forgive? |
20610 | And for his mother-- why came she not down eagerly and happily, as mothers ever do, to greet her long- lost son? |
20610 | And for the rest, the other nine, what hinders them from tenanting a thousand happy fields in other of the large domains of space? |
20610 | And how could she think it false? |
20610 | And how did he spend those hours of guilty solitude? |
20610 | And how fared the parents all this while? |
20610 | And how fares the wretch that would have starved them? |
20610 | And 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? |
20610 | And if any one should ask, how was such a system more likely to arise under a Gentile rather than a Jewish theocracy? |
20610 | And if others fall away, or do ought else than my bidding, what is that to thee? |
20610 | And is it not so? |
20610 | And is it not so? |
20610 | And is it not so? |
20610 | And 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? |
20610 | And 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? |
20610 | And now, reader, do you begin to comprehend me, and my title? |
20610 | And on the rejoinder, Why didst thou not keep me as thou madest me? |
20610 | And shall they not be righted at the last? |
20610 | And so, Mrs Quarles the biter is going to be bit, eh? |
20610 | And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? |
20610 | And the Lord said unto Satan, whence comest thou? |
20610 | And the days long- looked- for now were come; but were they any better? |
20610 | And the mystified Sir Abraham looked to Saunders for an explanation--"Was his master drunk?" |
20610 | And the poor babes, his little playful pets, what on earth would become of them? |
20610 | And thou-- poor miserable man-- thou fratricide in mind-- and to thy best belief in act, how drags on now the burden of thy life? |
20610 | And was this dread result of the primal curse and disobedience to be regarded as the Adversary''s triumph? |
20610 | And what can be more provocative of scribbling than travel? |
20610 | And what is its radical cause, but the absurd indulgence wherewith our law greets the favoured,_ because_ the atrocious criminal? |
20610 | And what misery can such a one complain of, which is not the work of his own hands? |
20610 | And what of that poor stricken mother? |
20610 | And when, pale and sick, leaning on his spade, he came to his old strength again, what was the reaction? |
20610 | And where has Mrs. Acton been all this morning? |
20610 | And where''s the harm or sin in bringing down a bird? |
20610 | And wherefore melancholy? |
20610 | And who will extenuate the rich man''s coveting, whose appetite grows with what it feeds on? |
20610 | And why should you not exercise it now? |
20610 | And will not thy great mercy bring her to me yet again? |
20610 | And would I, bad as I be, turn the bloody villain to take a man''s life? |
20610 | Are these the mere first- fruits of coveting and having? |
20610 | Are they battening on some dead carcase? |
20610 | Are we, then, to be utterly ruined?" |
20610 | Are you an old mole, that you have n''t seen it these six weeks? |
20610 | Are you stone deaf, that all their pretty speeches have been wasted on you? |
20610 | As things were, though, could any thing be clearer? |
20610 | As to sonnets, what real author''s mind will not, if honest, confess to the almost daily recurrence of that symptom of his disease? |
20610 | Ay, and the coming prospect too-- hath it greater consolations than the retrospect? |
20610 | Barbarism makes gentle woman our slave; right civilization raises her into a loving helpmate; but what kind of wisdom exalts her into mastery? |
20610 | Bare civilities, as between man and man, constituted all which their intercourse amounted to: what were those young fellows, stout or slim, to him? |
20610 | Bear witness, readers, bit by a mysterious advertisement in the''_ Morning Post_,''are names, indeed, not matters of much weight? |
20610 | Ben would come, and claim some portion of his treasure-- he would cry halves-- or, who knows? |
20610 | Blessings to come, this many a happy year; For, losing thee, where could we find another So kind, so true, so tender, and-- so dear? |
20610 | But I should like to know who wants her to marry at all? |
20610 | But Roger does, more shame for him; or why burn the shawl? |
20610 | But believe me for a truth- teller; that sonnet( did you read it?) |
20610 | But come, Si, have n''t you struck out the''not,''for yourself, though the printer did his duty, eh, Nep?" |
20610 | But honey? |
20610 | But how did Charles act? |
20610 | But if he did not go that way, which way did he go? |
20610 | But is it, in candour, true that brutes have no moral sense? |
20610 | But is that indeed little? |
20610 | But we have forgotten Simon Jennings-- what was he about? |
20610 | But what if he left the wrong one, and got clear off with the valuable booty of two dozen pounds of honey? |
20610 | But what is she to do with the sovereigns? |
20610 | But what kind of Unity is probable? |
20610 | But what, then, is the name of this burnt plain, unwatered by one liquid drop, unvisited even by dews in the cold dry night? |
20610 | But where is Mr. Jennings? |
20610 | But where is he now, child? |
20610 | But 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? |
20610 | But why may not humble individualities be generalized in grander shapes? |
20610 | But, query? |
20610 | But, take the phrases as they stand; and do they not in reason constitute some warning and some prophecy that men should idolize the mother? |
20610 | But-- what conceivable news can be told at this time of day about the trampled Continent, and the crowded British isles? |
20610 | By all that worries man, but this was too bad:"careless?" |
20610 | Ca 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? |
20610 | Can Nature''s wounds be cicatrized, or her soft feelings seared, without a thousand secret pangs? |
20610 | Can not He interpose? |
20610 | Can not I get at the huge hoard some how? |
20610 | Charles?" |
20610 | Come, drink, drink-- we must all drink that-- but where''s Tom?" |
20610 | Compunction at incipient crime, and gratitude to find its punishment so mercifully speedy, so lenient, so discriminative? |
20610 | Could Margaret be mad? |
20610 | Could a finer sample be conceived? |
20610 | Could her dear Maria really have been so base, and that noble- looking Henry too? |
20610 | Could she forget how the stripling fought for her that day, when rude Joseph Green would help her over the style? |
20610 | Did you ever look on prettier lips or sweeter eyes-- more glossy natural curls upon a whiter neck? |
20610 | Do I not, by introducing Nero''s three greatest crimes so near upon his assassination, merely accelerate the interval between causes and effect? |
20610 | Do the young lions not gather what He giveth? |
20610 | Do we not see how this bears on our coming argument? |
20610 | Do you mean to say you did n''t write that letter?" |
20610 | Do you remember them, the supposititious nieces, aiders and abetters in our stock- jobber''s forged will? |
20610 | Does he dare to write to you, and you to love him? |
20610 | Does not a puppy, that has stolen a sweet morsel from some butcher''s stall, fly, though none pursue him? |
20610 | Doth He not feed the ravens? |
20610 | Doth a sparrow fall to the ground without Our Father? |
20610 | Dreams? |
20610 | Eh-- do I see a light?" |
20610 | Encourages? |
20610 | Even so in life: who does not wish a thousand times he could help some people to change places? |
20610 | Every one looked: it warn''t barrels-- and it warn''t a porpoise: what was it, then? |
20610 | Ey? |
20610 | Ey? |
20610 | For other people, they would urge the reasonable question, how else came Roger by the cash? |
20610 | Friendships and loves tremble at the daily recurrence of"Have you read this?" |
20610 | Further: and which concerns our argument: what were likely to be the characteristic marks of such a revelation? |
20610 | Got home, the difficulty now recurred, where was he to hide it? |
20610 | Had he fainted? |
20610 | Had 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?" |
20610 | Had this Accuser-- the Saxon word is Devil-- had this Slanderer of God''s attribute then really beaten Good? |
20610 | Happiness:--ay, was n''t it to have given me happiness? |
20610 | Has not all this, and the very title, for any thing I know, been done already by another, by a wiser? |
20610 | Hast thou not made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? |
20610 | Hath it been no trial to see youthful bloom departing, and middle age creep on, without some intimate one to share the solitude of life? |
20610 | Hath not God blest thee through the crock of gold at last, in spite of sin? |
20610 | Have you no compunctions, man? |
20610 | Have you not often noticed, that riches generally come to a man, when he least stands in need of them? |
20610 | He would make no strong appeals to the bar of justice, as an innocent condemned; not he-- not he: innocent, indeed? |
20610 | His own bit of garden lay the nearest to Pike Island, and who knows but Ben might have slung a crock this way? |
20610 | How could Maria, with all her seeming warmth, treat her with such utter negligence? |
20610 | How could he bear to look on Grace, too beautiful Grace, and torture his heart by fancying her fate? |
20610 | How could he face his wife, and tell her all the foolish past and dreadful future? |
20610 | How could he think otherwise? |
20610 | How is it possible, intelligent reader, to avoid perpetual allusion to an oath? |
20610 | How is poor-- poor Julian? |
20610 | How long should he have a home? |
20610 | How on earth did Cervantes continue to grow old, after having pointed the finger of derision at all grave Spain? |
20610 | How should a daughter mourn for such a soul? |
20610 | How should it not be that he gets worse and worse in morals, and more and more miserable in fact? |
20610 | How should this prolific original, the first man, be created? |
20610 | How the deuce to do it? |
20610 | How then to entrap her? |
20610 | How to get him home? |
20610 | How was he to get bread, to get work, if the bailiff was his enemy? |
20610 | How, in such a hurlyburly of the elements, should the chosen seed survive? |
20610 | How, then, did we manage to survive it? |
20610 | Hush!--yes, somebody''s about: it is Jonathan''s step; and hark, he is humming merrily,"Hail, smiling morn, that opes the gates of day?" |
20610 | I can help your memory, Mr. Butler; what do you think of the shower- bath in Mother Quarles''s room?" |
20610 | I dare say now you have got a Chubb''s patent somewhere full of gold?" |
20610 | I give leave? |
20610 | I guessed as much: what do you think now of our laughing, and crying, and kissing, and praying Miss Maria with--"Not that beggar Clements? |
20610 | I had almost forgotten Julian: wretched, hardened man, and how fared he? |
20610 | I have just cut the following paragraph out of a newspaper: Is this the ridiculous tripping up the sublime? |
20610 | I have learnt much, more than you may fancy: and now this crowning villany[ what if he had known of the ulterior designs?] |
20610 | I knew that, but whither? |
20610 | I repeat it, is he rich? |
20610 | I 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?" |
20610 | I thought so; why not, governor? |
20610 | I will add another topic: How should the God on earth arrive there? |
20610 | I''ll save him-- I will indeed-- what is it? |
20610 | I? |
20610 | If law be not a lie, and judgments jokes, Why not_ be just_, and cut adrift Lord Hoax? |
20610 | If selfishness deserves the meed of praise, who more honourable than thou art? |
20610 | If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord, who may abide it? |
20610 | Instead of these, what have we rife about the world? |
20610 | Is Tom, brave boy, full o''the fat o''the land? |
20610 | Is a fox- hound not conscience- stricken for his harry of the sheep- fold? |
20610 | Is he not content? |
20610 | Is he not happy? |
20610 | Is it not strange that no St. Helena was at hand to conserve such a desirable invention? |
20610 | Is it possible, O fair and favoured mistress of this beautiful garden, that your Maker has debarred you from its very choicest fruit? |
20610 | Is it quite impossible, quite incredible? |
20610 | Is 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? |
20610 | Is it reasonable to conceive that such a character could for a moment be satisfied with absolute solitariness? |
20610 | Is it so? |
20610 | Is it, John Dillaway? |
20610 | Is it, then, merely a legal fiction, and not a religious truth, that husband and wife are one? |
20610 | Is n''t this enough to make a poor man merry? |
20610 | Is not Emmy in her bridal- dress a theme well worth a revery? |
20610 | Is not Wrexhill libellous, and Dr. Hookwell personal? |
20610 | Is not then the existence of evil justified in reason''s calculation? |
20610 | Is not this returning like a nabob, Roger? |
20610 | Is the curse of its accumulation still unsatisfied? |
20610 | Is there any improbability here? |
20610 | Is there no conceivable method of possessing that vast hoard? |
20610 | Is 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? |
20610 | Is there yet more blessing in the crock? |
20610 | Is this the earliest blessing of that luck which many long for-- the finding of a crock of gold? |
20610 | Is this unlikely, or unworthy of our high vocation, our immortality, and nearness unto, nay communion with God? |
20610 | It is better to ask, as more relevant, in what other way more benevolent than drowning could, short of miracle, the race be made extinct? |
20610 | It must, then, be the shape of some other creature; as a lion, or a lamb, or-- why not a serpent? |
20610 | Jennings 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? |
20610 | Jennings?" |
20610 | Judge me too, am I not consecutive? |
20610 | Keep them? |
20610 | Know ye not for comfort, that ye are of those to whom all things work together for good? |
20610 | Know ye not for counsel, that the excess of love is an idolatry that must be blighted? |
20610 | Lest I be full, and deny Thee, saying, Who is the Lord? |
20610 | Listen, Jenny, will you?" |
20610 | Look at all dumb brutes, the lower animals of this our earth; is it not thus by nature''s law with them? |
20610 | Look at me, and judge; what has made me live like a beast, sin like a heathen, and lie down here like a felon? |
20610 | Look at these two women, impudent brawlers, foul with vice: can there be any excuses made for them, considered as distinct from their condition? |
20610 | May I, dear? |
20610 | May he not live yet many years, heaping up gold and crime? |
20610 | Meanwhile, what were the parents about? |
20610 | Mr. Jennings, what''s the matter?" |
20610 | Must another sacrifice bleed before the shrine of Mammon, and another head lie crushed beneath the heel of that monster-- his disciple? |
20610 | Must he battle his way through? |
20610 | Must he really take them all? |
20610 | Must more misery be born of that unhallowed store? |
20610 | Naturally enough you will ask, why Charles can not accompany this letter? |
20610 | Nay, was it clandestine at all? |
20610 | Need I, sons and daughters, need I record at any length how Maria mourned for her father? |
20610 | Next morning, off again: why could he not catch and eat some of those half- tame antelopes? |
20610 | No longer pale, anxious, thoughtful, worn by the corroding care of"Does she-- does she love?" |
20610 | Not seldom? |
20610 | Now, is not this a thing to be exclaimed against? |
20610 | Now, ma''am, what do n''t they deserve, I should like to know?" |
20610 | Now, the cure in future for all this would be very simple: Why not have some lay oratorios? |
20610 | Now, these two ladies( who extenuates their guilt, caviller? |
20610 | Now, what of man''s own person, circumstances, and individuality? |
20610 | Now, will it be believed that a trivial error of the press mainly conduced to occasion this hostility? |
20610 | O death, where is thy victory? |
20610 | O grave, where is thy sting? |
20610 | O, hard and wicked heart!--what will not such a miscreant do for money? |
20610 | Oh ye, my beauteous nest of snow- white doves, What wealth could price for me your guileless loves? |
20610 | Once more: Who does not recognise individuality of character in animals? |
20610 | Once more: our objector will here perhaps inquire, Why not then command the earth to stop-- and not the sun and moon? |
20610 | Only of this one thing be sure; we--(no, I; why should unregal, unhierarchal I affect pluralities?) |
20610 | Or Mr. Green be denied any other carriage than the wicker car of his balloon? |
20610 | Or a tragic actor, like some mortified La Trapist, never be allowed to laugh? |
20610 | Patient reader, what think you of my long- winded tragedy? |
20610 | Press forward, Sosii aforesaid, and answer me truly, is not a title- page the better part of many books? |
20610 | Really, my lurd--""Oh, sir, but my father may go free?" |
20610 | Religion-- can it bide with money, child? |
20610 | Roger, did I judge amiss when I saw, or thought I saw, those eyes full of humble shame, those lips quivering with remorseful sorrow? |
20610 | Rum start this, thinks I: but any how he''s flung away a summut, and means to give it me: what can it be? |
20610 | Shall it be a land of plenty, green, well- watered meadows, the pleasant homes of man, though savage, not unfriendly? |
20610 | She looked up archly, and said,"Why not?" |
20610 | Should he be originated in boyhood, that hot and tumultuous time, when the creature is most rash, and least qualified for self- government? |
20610 | Should he blab it out, and so be poor again, and lose the crock? |
20610 | Should he have been cast upon the ground an infant, utterly helpless, requiring miraculous aid and guidance at every turn? |
20610 | Should not David whilst a shepherd praise God among his flocks, and when a king, cry"Give the King thy judgments?" |
20610 | Should not the herdsman of Tehoa plead in pastoral phrase, and the royal son of Amoz denounce with strong authority? |
20610 | Should such an historian as I condescend to sheer inventions? |
20610 | So much then on the moment for the monosyllable"Mind;"--whereof followeth, indeed, all the more hereafter; but--"An author''s?" |
20610 | So, this pretty minx is rich, is she?" |
20610 | Speak, Plumer Ward, courageous veteran, Have the critics yet forgiven Mr. John Paragraph-- forgotten, is impossible? |
20610 | Speak, Roger Acton, which will you choose, man-- a prisoner''s mess of pottage-- or a crock of gold? |
20610 | Speculation 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? |
20610 | Stop-- can he do nothing for her, can he venture nothing in her service? |
20610 | Stop-- that black heap may be kegs of whiskey;--where''s the glass? |
20610 | Tell me rather this: do I falsify history in any thing more important than mere accidental anachronisms and anatopisms? |
20610 | That beetled- browed task- master slumbered in the hut; that brother convict--(why need he care for him, too? |
20610 | That honesty is the best policy, deny who dare? |
20610 | The brandy- sodden parent, scarcely conscious, said something about his infernal majesty; and,"What then?--let him go, ca n''t you?" |
20610 | The fourth, necessarily a tale of overwhelming calamity ultimately triumphant,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
20610 | Then 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? |
20610 | Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught? |
20610 | Then again to return to wages-- who knows? |
20610 | There may be one, possibly, beneath us, in the bowels of this fiery- bursting earth; whither went Korah and his company? |
20610 | There was one great and engrossing subject which often had employed their curiosity; who and what was Emily Warren? |
20610 | There''s the death- rattle, the last smothery complicated gasp-- what, did n''t you hear that? |
20610 | There, trip along, with health upon thy cheek, and hope within thy heart; who can resist so eloquent a pleader? |
20610 | These things being so, what hinders it from occupying, as in honesty it does, the king''s place in this pack of sonnets? |
20610 | Thomas, too, his own brave boy, whom utter poverty might drive to desperation? |
20610 | Thus shortly of the first: and now, secondly, how should God reveal himself to men? |
20610 | Thus then return we to our muttons, and time enough, quotha: literary pundit,( whose is the notable saying?) |
20610 | Tip it down the sink, dame, will you now? |
20610 | To arrange the bed, smooth down the tumbled coverlid, set every thing straight about the room, and erase all tokens of that dread encounter? |
20610 | To bed? |
20610 | True, he said not a word about the early morning''s sin; why should he? |
20610 | True, the silver had seldom been forthcoming; still, he had asked for it; and where in life could he have got the gold? |
20610 | True, their regularly concerted studies were forbidden, and they never now might openly walk out unaccompanied: but love( who has not found this out?) |
20610 | Unity of Person, or unity of Essence? |
20610 | Wait a bit: is there no way of managing some better end to all this? |
20610 | Was Deity, either in Adam''s case or this, baffled-- nor rather justified? |
20610 | Was charity herself to blame in putting one and one together? |
20610 | Was he ill? |
20610 | Was he to be"hiding up his talent in a napkin--?" |
20610 | Was it all this same starving forest to the wide world''s end? |
20610 | Was it likely that the world should be stocked at once with many several races, or with one prolific seed? |
20610 | Was it not a merciful, a perfect, and a worthy way? |
20610 | Was it not decidedly enough to have spoken to the latter, especially when she undertook to answer for the former? |
20610 | Was it not to teach them deeper feeling for the poor, if ever God again should give them riches? |
20610 | Was it, in reality, an improbable test; an unsuitable one? |
20610 | Was it, in this view of the case, an equal contest? |
20610 | Was n''t it to be an end of troubles, too, this precious crock of gold? |
20610 | Was not all this reasonably to have been looked for? |
20610 | Was not the"long- suffering of God"likely to have thus been tried"while the ark was preparing?" |
20610 | Was not this a just, a sublime, and a likely plan? |
20610 | Was not this a most probable, a most reasonably probable scheme? |
20610 | Was she not innocent, after all? |
20610 | Was the woman dead? |
20610 | Was there ever such a fool as he? |
20610 | Were they poisonous? |
20610 | Were those champions, Lucifer and Adam, really fit to be matched together? |
20610 | What affliction as to this world''s wealth can a man meet worse than this? |
20610 | What better mode could have been devised to scatter mankind, and so to people the extremities of earth? |
20610 | What could be more delicious than all this? |
20610 | What could he do? |
20610 | What do they mean by knowing so much? |
20610 | What had he been doing with his talents-- for he once possessed the ten? |
20610 | What hallowed gold was that? |
20610 | What has not money cost me? |
20610 | What if any found it out? |
20610 | What if poverty pinched him? |
20610 | What 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? |
20610 | What letter? |
20610 | What moreover shall we say of chilling friendships, near estrangements, heartless lovers loitering behind, shy acquaintance dropping off? |
20610 | What must he do? |
20610 | What other way than this was there to save thee from thy sin-- to raise thee from thy fall? |
20610 | What shall hinder, that the perjured wretch offer up to the manes of the murdered the life- blood of the false- accused? |
20610 | What shall she do? |
20610 | What shall we say of omens, warnings, forebodings? |
20610 | What think you then of"a featherless biped?" |
20610 | What were they to do? |
20610 | What will they do? |
20610 | What would probably be the nature of such world and of such creatures, in a physical point of view? |
20610 | What''s to be done?--which is he to leave behind? |
20610 | What, O man with a soul, is all the world else to thee? |
20610 | What, have you no compunctions at that word starve? |
20610 | What, not found out yet? |
20610 | When did heart ever gain money? |
20610 | Where art thou, dear child, my pure and best Maria?" |
20610 | Where do you keep yours now, aunt, I wonder?" |
20610 | Where else, but in a prison, could you get the silent, solitary hours leading you again to wholesome thought and deep repentance? |
20610 | Where is she-- how can I find her out-- why will she not come to me all this sorrowful year? |
20610 | Where on earth was he to hide it? |
20610 | Where then did they live, and how-- that noble and calumniated couple? |
20610 | Where was the use of a delay? |
20610 | Where were the offerings, in jewels or in gold, to propitiate that undoubted man of God and denizen of heaven, St. Moses? |
20610 | Where''s the good o''living in a great house else? |
20610 | Which way did the maniac turn?--whither in that desolate gloom shall Charlotte fly to find her? |
20610 | Whither, oh God!--whither? |
20610 | Who are ye, bright messengers about my bed, heralds of glory? |
20610 | Who can accuse them of any wrong( the hopefulness of love considered) in point either of honour or duty? |
20610 | Who can condemn the poor man''s care, though Faith should make his load the lighter? |
20610 | Who can even sketch aright the heavenly hues that shone about that scene of the affections? |
20610 | Who can gainsay it? |
20610 | Who can help thinking of his lawyer, when he makes acquaintance with those immortal firms Dodson and Fogg, or Quirk, Snap, and Gammon? |
20610 | Who can not say the same indeed? |
20610 | Who can prove, nay, venture to insinuate, any such systematic roguery against a man hitherto so strict, so punctual, so sanctimonious? |
20610 | Who can record it all? |
20610 | Who can sound its seas, deep calling unto deep? |
20610 | Who can wonder at the reckless and dissolute result? |
20610 | Who could have murdered her?" |
20610 | Who does not writhe while reading details of cruelty, and who would not rejoice to find even there somewhat of CONSOLATION? |
20610 | Who ever asked, in those old times, the mediation of St. Enoch? |
20610 | Who gained money as you bade him-- never mind how? |
20610 | Who has not tales to tell of dreams? |
20610 | Who is he that would pander to the popular taste for details of dreadful, cruel, criminal, and useless abominations? |
20610 | Who knoweth? |
20610 | Who knows but Heaven heard that saintly virgin prayer? |
20610 | Who knows whether his advice to Acton may not have been wise and kind, and would not have conduced to a general rise of wages? |
20610 | Who knows? |
20610 | Who knows? |
20610 | Who made fowl, I should like to know, and us to eat''em? |
20610 | Who more grieved at his thanklessness than Thou art? |
20610 | Who more sorry for the righteous and necessary doom which the impenitence of heartlessness drags down upon itself? |
20610 | Who or what had caused this deep and mighty change? |
20610 | Who shall cure me of parentheses?] |
20610 | Who shall record how kind was Henry, how useful was the nurse, how liberal the doctor, how sympathizing all? |
20610 | Who shall sing of the humble ale- caudle, and those cheerful givings to surrounding poor, scarcely poorer than themselves? |
20610 | Who was more welcome on the hill than pretty Grace? |
20610 | Who was that strange man so often in the way? |
20610 | Who will deny that Hogarth was a novelist and play- wright, if not indeed a heart- rending tragedian? |
20610 | Who wrote that letter? |
20610 | Who''d suspect you?" |
20610 | Who, in this age of literature, can be fully condemned, or heartily acquitted of plagiarism? |
20610 | Whom can he in reason accuse but himself for what he is? |
20610 | Whom had she to care for her-- whom had she to love? |
20610 | Why are the clasp- knives sheathed, which should have drunk the blood of James? |
20610 | Why be guilty of such mean self- stultification as to say one thing and do another? |
20610 | Why did I produce these passages at length? |
20610 | Why did he spurn her away? |
20610 | Why did not that man thank Thee? |
20610 | Why is there no St. Vestment to keep in countenance a St. Sepulchre and a St. Cross? |
20610 | Why not talk about those names of gentle blood, familiar to the ear as household words, Uvedale and Scrope, Vavasour and Ratcliffe? |
20610 | Why not, according to the astronomical ignorance of those days, let her sail away, unconsorted by the sun, far beyond the valley of Ajalon? |
20610 | Why not? |
20610 | Why on earth should they be doubted in their literal sense? |
20610 | Why should a poor shepherd of the Landes for ever wear his stilts? |
20610 | Why 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? |
20610 | Why should not he get interest for his money, like lords and gentlefolk? |
20610 | Why should not honesty and plain- dealing be as inviolable publicly as privately? |
20610 | Why should not the case be so? |
20610 | Why should not this highest Object of faith and this lowest Subject of obedience be born, seemingly by human means, but really by divine? |
20610 | Why should she not come of a lineage and family which for centuries before had held such expectation? |
20610 | Why should so much money lie idle? |
20610 | Why slumber pistols that, should damage Bulwer? |
20610 | Why then intrude such unrequired counsel? |
20610 | Why then withhold the easier matter of an afterward belief? |
20610 | Why will all these people don my imaginary characters? |
20610 | Why, neighbour Acton, look at the boy: would that frank- faced, open- hearted fellow do worse, think you, than Black Burke? |
20610 | Will this serve the purpose, my ever- pensive public? |
20610 | Will you think it a foregone conclusion, if I assert the superior likelihoods of the latter, and not of the former? |
20610 | With none? |
20610 | Would he? |
20610 | Would he? |
20610 | Would 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? |
20610 | Would not such sneers and taunts be probable: would they not amply vindicate the coming judgment? |
20610 | Would not the money be a curse to them any how, say nothing of the danger? |
20610 | Yet there is one thing, Charles; ought you not to ask your parents for their leave to go? |
20610 | Yet worse: there was another suggestion, by no means contradictory, though simultaneous: what had become of Tom? |
20610 | Yet-- must not the bank of England bear the brunt of all this forgery, and account for its stock to that innocent depositor? |
20610 | You look flushed, my dear; what''s the matter?" |
20610 | You 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?] |
20610 | a wedding? |
20610 | all gone-- all, his own beloved hoard, and that dear- bought crock of gold? |
20610 | along with the preserves in a honey- pot, do you?" |
20610 | and John, bad John, too probably the forger of that letter, as the forger of this will? |
20610 | and after all to lose the crock of gold?" |
20610 | and does she still starve for it? |
20610 | and enclosing them one hundred pounds for the honey- moon?" |
20610 | and how is it no house- keeper has arsenicked my soup, O rash recruit, for the mysteries of perquisite divulged in Mrs. Quarles? |
20610 | and is it not quite as much a matrimonial as a moral one that father and mother are so too? |
20610 | and is not the unsinning multitude of Nineveh''s young children climaxed with"much cattle?" |
20610 | and so you hide the hoard up there, aunt, eh? |
20610 | and was not he the best imaginable champion to stand against the wiles of the devil? |
20610 | and was not such existence an antecedent probability? |
20610 | and was not the lawn- door open? |
20610 | and were they not more likely to have happened than to have been invented? |
20610 | and what, in a moral point of view? |
20610 | and when the catastrophe should come, had not that evil generation been duly warned against it? |
20610 | and wherewithal, but with domesticated monkeys, does he share this happy attribute? |
20610 | and who gets the odd four?" |
20610 | and who will deny some sense of duty, and no little strength of affection, in a shepherd''s dog? |
20610 | and"How is it you never come our way?" |
20610 | another thief to go shares with me when the governor cuts up? |
20610 | are there not men dwelling there with flocks and herds, and food and plenty? |
20610 | are they married? |
20610 | are you such a thorough Mrs. Rundle as to pickle and preserve your very guineas, the same as you do strawberries or apricots in syrup?" |
20610 | ay-- that bold young fellow-- Thomas Acton, Ben Burke''s friend: why was he away so long, hiding out of the country? |
20610 | but how to make the girl look sweet upon me, mother? |
20610 | ca n''t we catch''em first, ey? |
20610 | can he have offended you in any way?" |
20610 | can they all be full of gold? |
20610 | canst thou think that from a feminine breast the lover, the wife, the mother, can be utterly sponged away without long years of bitterness? |
20610 | children, to my misery you know what need is: I can say no more; poor sinful man, how dare I preach to others? |
20610 | deceived? |
20610 | did I go out with him? |
20610 | did n''t it madden me to hear them? |
20610 | did that"cynosure of neighbouring eyes"appear alarmed at his position, anxious at his fate, or even attentive to what was going on? |
20610 | did you ever know a rich man yet who was contented-- ey? |
20610 | do I make an untrue delineation of character, blackening the good, or white- washing the wicked? |
20610 | do you dare to ask me that? |
20610 | does the governor know of all this? |
20610 | e._ you, governor, ey? |
20610 | exclaimed the eager group of listeners;"kill Him? |
20610 | ey? |
20610 | ey? |
20610 | ey? |
20610 | ey? |
20610 | ey? |
20610 | ey? |
20610 | ey? |
20610 | ey? |
20610 | ey? |
20610 | feel you not the earth trembling at the thunder-- see you not the heaven clouded o''er with spray? |
20610 | had he not squandered piety, purity, and patience? |
20610 | has any harm befallen the child? |
20610 | have you seen her? |
20610 | he almost frantically shrieked,"shall that white hell- hound rob me yet again? |
20610 | he asked somewhat anxiously;"take your punch, aunt, wo nt you? |
20610 | he had done no ill, he had committed no crime-- why should he prefer the convict''s doom, and seek to be transported for life? |
20610 | he was a great heir still; what if oppression bruised him? |
20610 | hear you not the roar of many waters, the maddening rush as of an ocean disenthralled? |
20610 | how came ye by it?" |
20610 | how could the shawl have got there? |
20610 | how do you know it? |
20610 | how help himself, or get his gold again? |
20610 | how is she? |
20610 | how shall we prove this negative? |
20610 | how should the father have known him for a son? |
20610 | how should they, how could they, how dare they kill God?" |
20610 | how to keep it safely, secretly? |
20610 | how will they live? |
20610 | if thus probably Joshua or his Inspirer knew better? |
20610 | if your poor weak head had but been wise enough to read that heart, would you still have loved it as you do? |
20610 | in misery? |
20610 | in remorse? |
20610 | in terrors? |
20610 | is he rich? |
20610 | is he rich?" |
20610 | is it bloody money?" |
20610 | is it not a deeper, higher, purer, wiser, more abundant source of pleasure? |
20610 | is it true? |
20610 | is it true? |
20610 | is not poor Maria''s love worth more than all your rich rude Jack''s sudden flush of money? |
20610 | is not that good? |
20610 | is she yet alive?'' |
20610 | is this the state of those who love thee deepest? |
20610 | it is Sarah''s voice-- she has seen her dead, dead, dead;--but is she indeed dead?" |
20610 | married-- ey? |
20610 | may I-- may I call you my Emily? |
20610 | more fearful interest still, to carry on its story to an end? |
20610 | mum-- ey? |
20610 | murmured Grace,"why will you lead him astray? |
20610 | muttered 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? |
20610 | my father? |
20610 | no bitter, dreadful recollections? |
20610 | no mode of giving the right turn to that wheel of fortune, round which his cares and calculations have been hovering so long? |
20610 | not only lose the crock of gold, but all his own bright store? |
20610 | nothing tapping at your heart? |
20610 | now you can cringe, and fawn, eh? |
20610 | nybor, who be you a- poaching on my manor, eh? |
20610 | of course he wanted it; if not, why had he slaved so many years? |
20610 | on Jonathan Floyd, and John Vincent? |
20610 | or a poor one that wasn''t-- ey? |
20610 | or an absolute oneness, which yet relatively involves several mysterious phases of its own expansive love? |
20610 | or should he be first discerned as an adult, in his prime, equal alike to obedience and rule, to moral control and moral energy? |
20610 | or was he being strangled by some unseen executioner? |
20610 | or worse-- fallen into bad excesses? |
20610 | per Justice Grundy), That[ black was white];--and so, what can I say? |
20610 | pick up money? |
20610 | poor Charles hid his face; Emily looked up indignantly; but Julian asked, with an oath,"Where''s the good of being hypocrites?" |
20610 | precious, cast- off child, where art thou, where art thou, where art thou-- starving? |
20610 | roared Ben,"would you hang the innocent, and save the guilty?" |
20610 | said 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? |
20610 | says I;''burying a dead babby?'' |
20610 | sculpture imitates life, and who can recognise a countenance so much among the clouds? |
20610 | so formal, in spite of his rapidity? |
20610 | so he slept out, eh, mother?" |
20610 | so little generous of spirit, notwithstanding all his wonderful prosperity?" |
20610 | squeeze the swallow, ca n''t you? |
20610 | that big barred, guarded place, looking like a mighty mouse- trap? |
20610 | that infinite benevolence should, in any possible beginning, be discovered existent in a sort of selfish only- oneness? |
20610 | the lad is n''t a thief, the lad is n''t a murderer? |
20610 | the_ corpus delicti_--that unlucky crock of gold, actually in the man''s possession, and the fragment of shawl-- was not that sufficient? |
20610 | then how should he fail of being made a King of men, for his goodness, and his majesty, and wisdom?" |
20610 | these ephemeral fancies dropped into the true elixir of immortality, printer''s- ink? |
20610 | these fleeting thoughts fixed in stone before that Gorgon- head, the public? |
20610 | these mere minnows to be treated with the high consideration due only to potted char and white bait? |
20610 | to know your estimation among men ebbs and flows according to the accident of success, rather than the quality of merit? |
20610 | tramps, perhaps: or Ben? |
20610 | was Charles alive after all? |
20610 | was it clean gone, stolen, lost, lost, lost for ever? |
20610 | was it not altogether wise and philosophical, as well as entirely generous and kind to wretched men? |
20610 | was it not to be regarded as a sort of outpost of the being who was Human- God? |
20610 | was not Noah the only spark of spiritual"consolation"in the midst of earth''s dark death? |
20610 | was the courteous reply,"what, not believe your own son? |
20610 | was the erring daughter entirely forgotten? |
20610 | was this wonderful robe to work no miracles? |
20610 | well enough for curates: go on, ma''am-- go on, and make haste to the point of all points-- is he rich?" |
20610 | went a little something in her neck-- did you hear it? |
20610 | were the weapons of that warfare matched and measured fairly? |
20610 | were there no heads found to fit his many caps, hats, helmets, and other capillary properties? |
20610 | what about?" |
20610 | what are all those carrion fowls congregated there for? |
20610 | what business has my daughter with a heart?" |
20610 | what has made me curse Ben Burke-- kind, hearty, friendly Ben?--and given my poor good boy an ill- report as having stolen and slain? |
20610 | what has made thee drink and swear? |
20610 | what has planted guile, and suspicion, and malice in thy heart? |
20610 | what have I done-- what has Henry done, that papa, and you, and dear mamma, should all be so unkind to us?" |
20610 | what have you done?" |
20610 | what if he should be cogitating a novel or a play, and means to make free with our characters? |
20610 | what if she be alive still? |
20610 | what makes you look so sodden? |
20610 | what prows, in wax, of vessels saved from shipwreck, hung about the dripping fane of Jonah? |
20610 | what shall I say?" |
20610 | what the devil made you give that start? |
20610 | what was the result of his exertions? |
20610 | what''s that?" |
20610 | what''s the matter with you?" |
20610 | what, Maria? |
20610 | what-- what is it all?" |
20610 | what-- what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what? |
20610 | what?" |
20610 | what?" |
20610 | what?" |
20610 | what?" |
20610 | what?" |
20610 | where can you get your parchment hereabouts? |
20610 | where were now his gratitude to God, his benevolence to man? |
20610 | where will they go? |
20610 | where''s Miss Warren?" |
20610 | which way should he turn? |
20610 | who breathes one iota of excuse for their wicked manner of life? |
20610 | who can map its caverns? |
20610 | who can stand upon the hill- tops, height beckoning unto height? |
20610 | who can track its labyrinths? |
20610 | who does not utterly denounce the foul and flagrant sin, whilst he leaves to a secret- searching God the judgment of the sinner?) |
20610 | who knoweth but it may be true? |
20610 | who said that? |
20610 | who would oftenest come to nurse some sickly lamb, but gentle Grace? |
20610 | whose in life is it then?" |
20610 | whose?" |
20610 | why had I not thought of that before?" |
20610 | why not glorify the picture of a cottage with colouring of Turner''s most imaginative palette? |
20610 | why-- that she''s deuced pretty, and dresses like an empress: but where did the general pick her up, eh?--who is she?" |
20610 | why? |
20610 | will He not befriend you? |
20610 | will he thus watch his mother die by inches, when one true word from his lips could restore her to tranquillity and health? |
20610 | will the woman drive me mad?" |
20610 | would Mr. Philip Sharp? |
20610 | would not Newgate rejoice, and Horsemonger be glad? |
20610 | would you drive me mad? |
20610 | yes, now I recollect: let''s see, we strolled together midway to Oxton, and, as he was going somewhat further, there I left him?" |
20610 | yes-- yes-- yes-- they call her so; where is she? |
20610 | you choose to forget, do you? |
20610 | you do n''t know, ey? |
20610 | you frighten me, dearest; are you ill? |
20610 | you would not-- you dare not-- give over-- unhand me, brother; what have I done, that you should strike me? |
