A14594Can Man behold his owne dutie in a fairer Volumne?
A14594Could this possibly bee the voice of God which I heard?
A14594Did He not heavily punish Caine even at the beginning of the first VVorld for killing but a Brother?
A14594Didst Thou not create the Light before the Sunne?

A14594How now( My Soule) Doest Thou shrinke in the last Act of Thy Loyaltie?
A14594How then can I herein obey my God, But I must withall disobey Him?
A14594Is His Will contrary to the Example of his owne Iustice?
A14594Is his Command against his Law?
A14594Is there any VVarrant higher then His VVill?
A14594Nay, Did I not even at first receive Him in a manner from a dead VVombe?
A14594O Lord, was not Thy Divine Goodnesse pleased in the depth of Thy Mercie to accept my Beleefe for Righteousnesse?
A14594Or any better Interpreter of His VVill then Himselfe?
A14594Or haue not rather some strange Impressions of the Night deluded my Fancie?

A14594Yes?
A07839And Righteousnesse perfecteth Prosperitie: for What shall it profit a man, though he should winne the whole world, if he lose his own soule?
A07839And indeed why should they?
A07839And is not this the Prosperity which by our praiers( as by one speciall meanes) God gaue and continued to Queene Elisabeth?
A07839And then by the way, haue we not all( I beseech you) very great cause to mourne for so heauy a losse betided to vs all?

A07839For else, how could any good citizen of a well affected citie, reioice with a good conscience to behold his Prosperitie?
A07839For t who is it, that will harme you, if yee follow that which is good?
A07839Now how slippery and perilous is that mans estate which falleth into the enuy and malignation of others?
A07839Now what shall we say, or what can we say( my good bretheren) to these vnexpected and comfortable euents?
A07839O quam te memorem, virgo?
A07839Or how shall we shew our selues liuely members of the same body, y if when one member suffereth, we suffer not with it?
A07839Or why do I by weeping o with Dauid, prouoke the people to turne the saluation of this present day into mourning?
A07839Or why do I so digresse from my ioyfull Text, to tune dolefull Elegies of sorrow?
A07839Our Asa, h to put downe idols, rood- lofts, crosses, crucifixes, altars, holy water, holy waxe, holy candle, and such like filthy trumperie?

A07839Well: wouldst thou fare better?
A07839Why rather go I not on to shew how Gods mercie hath mitigated the depth of this sorrow, with a new occasion of ioy?

A09417O what is this, that I gaue done against GOD, against his Church, and against my own soule?
A09417Oh alas, what is this, or what can this bee: but a fearefull signe of destruction?
A09417Repent, or else certainely God will take vengeance: But( will mans heart say) is this true?
A09417The third point: Who must search?
A09417This sinne was neuer amongst the Iewes: they indeede regarded it not so as it deserued, but who did euer make a mocke and a scorne of it but England?
A09417Why should wee searche our selues?
A09417Will anie man endure alwayes to bee mocked?
A09417Will anie man endure to stande knocking continuallie?
A09417and is Israel a Nation not worthy to bee beloued?
A09417and shall wee continue so still?
A09417then howe long hath GOD beene mocked?
A09417what are moul- hilles, when such mountains are not seene?
A392695. which is ever crying out, when will the Sabboth be gone, that we may set ● forth wheat?
A39269And now, Whose doing is this?
A39269How was he round about begirt with miseries?
A39269If we cast an eye back upon our gracious David whilest under the cloud an Exile: what can we see, but the LORD alone, he had to confide in?
A39269Many,''t is true, goe before mee, and it is very fit they should; Others come with richer cloathing, and finer language, and why not?
A39269So would they doubtlesly have said, Have any of the Rulers or Pharisees received this stone?
A39269To whom did he proffer it?
A39269To whom it was proffer''d?
A39269Was it ever thus, so long as England willingly embraced the Corner- stones which GOD proffer''d her?
A39269What Praises therefore do we now owe unto God for all these his Marvailous workes?
A39269What it was?
A39269What welcome it found?
A39269have any of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
A123605. first as the Marriners had before done, beleeved the Word of GOD, though they never heard it before?
A12360And in what danger shall wee despaire?
A12360And why should God teach the heedlesse to learne?
A12360And why should not all pray to Ionahs God, and Pharaoh pray to Moses God, seeing God hath said, Call upon me in trouble and I will heare thee?
A12360Art thou not worthy to lose the gifts of God, which venturest to lose them when thou needest not?
A12360But he comes often as a friend, as an Angell of light, how shall I descry him?
A12360But if judgement begin with the house of God, what shall become of the ungodly?
A12360But thinke you they have nothing but Scripture?
A12360But what did God command him to cry?
A12360But what doe we meane, beloved, when mercy is come to send for judgement?
A12360But when Nineveh had beleeved God, what did they secondly?
A12360But who would have thought that such a Prophet should flie from the Lord, yea and then when he should doe him most service?
A12360Can this bee good when worst men use it most?
A12360Can you not wake while I speake to you?
A12360Did you ever read of these veniall sinnes in the Scripture?
A12360Doth any Dicer thinke he doth well?
A12360For having heard of the true God, and though they lost their goods, having found who is all good, shall we( say they) destroy him that hath saved us?
A12360I thinke that Countrey is here, for how many are here which have lost their eyes and their eares since they came hither?
A12360If you should see a traitor sleepe on the hurdle, or men sleepe with meate in their mouthes, would you not marvell?
A12360Is there any?
A12360Shall we give him up to death unnecessarily, that hath brought us to life, and assured us to reigne with God in all glory everlasting?
A12360Tell me what thinkest thou?
A12360Thus wee have heard Ionahs charge to cry, But what should he cry?
A12360What a cursed thing is this that turnes no man to good, which robs others,& beggars themselves?
A12360What doth that argue?
A12360What had hee offended the winds and waters that they bare him such enmity?
A12360What hope of life then left?
A12360What saith Christ?
A12360What saith Paul?
A12360Why should hee give pearles to dung- hill Cockes, nay, to very swine?
A12360Why?
A12360Yet Nineveh, Iericho, Sodome, nor Rome, have had halfe the Preaching that we have had, yet we are unthankfull too, then what have wee to looke for?
A12360partly, that he should bee held that notorious wretch that had brought this woe?
A12360what are they the better when they know him?
A12360what would they doe with him on whom the lot should fall?
A12360who keepes a good diet, and maketh his choise of holy exercises, godly companions, religious conferences?
A12360who letteth or fetcheth out his corrupt bloud of pride, lust, covetousnesse, lest hee before?
A12360who purgeth himselfe of his sinnes, lest hee bee sicke?
A39381And David said unto Vriah, camest thou not from thy journey?
A39381Art thou willing to be reconciled to this sinner?
A39381Art thou willing to bind thy selfe over to satisfie my Divine Iustice in this soules behalfe?
A39381He that hath often sent me away sad, shall such a soule as this find mercy?
A39381If any man shall aske me the question, whether ever any meer man shall attaine unto the like measure of gifts and graces as Solomon did?
A39381If he find mercy, if he be washed in thy Sonnes blood from this his guilt, then where is the unitie in us?
A39381If that this Soules sinnes be pardoned, where then is the firmnesse of our Decree?
A39381Is there a pardon by bloud granted, and doe you want nothing thereunto, but onely the Seale, to give assurance to that pardon?
A39381It is God that justifieth: Who shall condemne?
A39381Shall I give in my consent to have the sinnes of such a soule as this pardoned?
A39381Shall he, I say, find pardon?
A39381Shall therefore such a soule find mercy, who hath thus wilfully opposed me, and turned from me?
A39381The glorious Trinitie, and the most glorious conformitie in our unitie?
A39381What doe you here?
A39381What, shall all our onenesse be dis- joyned for this soules sake?
A39381Who shall lay any thing unto the charge of Gods chosen?
A39381Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
A39381shall Tribulation, or Anguish or Persecution, or Famine, or Nakednesse, or Perill, or Sword?
A39381why then didst thou not goe downe to thy house?

A135791. in these words: Of whom should I be afraid?
A1357910 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not correct?
A1357910 Therefore his people come to this point, when waters of a full cup are wrung out vnto them: 11 That they say: How?
A1357911 Who acknowledgeth the power of thy wrath, and of thy great indignation according to thy feare?
A1357912 What shall I render vnto the Lord?
A1357912. not to be deliuered to the appetite of his enemies: what doth it import but a motion for his deliuerance from them?
A1357913 Returne O Lord: how long?
A1357913 What man is he that desireth life, and loueth long daies to see good?
A1357913 Will I eate the flesh of buls, or drinke the blood of goates?
A1357916 But vnto the wicked, saith God: What hast thou to doe to declare mine ordinances, and to take my couenant in thy mouth?

A1357917 How pretious therefore are thy thoughts vnto me?
A1357919 How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and consumed fearfully?
A135792 O Lord of hostes: how amiable are thy Tabernacles?
A135792 Why doe the Kings of the earth band themselues, and the Princes consult together against the Lord, and against his Christ?
A1357920 Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee?
A1357921 Should not I hate them( O Lord) that hate thee?
A1357924 O Lord, how great are thy workes?
A1357924. where the Prophet speaketh thus: How great are thy workes?
A1357925 Whom haue I in heauen but thee?
A135796 Wherefore should I feare in the euill daies, when the wicked shall compasse me about, as at my heeles?
A135797 Whither should I goe from thy spirit?

A13579For the Prophet demaunding this question,( What man is he that desireth life?)

A13579Where in that interrogatorie speech of How long?
A13579Where it is said: How pretious or excellent are thy thoughts vnto me?
A13579Where the Prophet twice setteth downe this sentence vnder an interrogatorie forme of speech, thus: Of whom should I be afraid?

A41541What greater Torment is there, than a Man''s own unruly Passions when let loose, which rage with the utmost Violence?
A41541What is the greatest among Men, without the Care and Aids of the Almighty, but a poor wretched Creature abandon''d to Misery, and Despair?
A41541Where can he be safe, whom God will not take care of?
A41541Where can we find Ground for hope to settle upon, or from whence can we expect a Rescue?
A41541Whither shall that Man go for Advice, whom God refuseth to lead by his Counsel?
A40097And how did they this?
A40097And what are we to think less of our Late Deliverance from Popery and Slavery, and as scaring a Prospect as ever People had?
A40097Had we, I beseech you, made such Returns for our late so wonderful a one, as reasonably to hope for such another, should we again need it?
A40097Is it possible, I say, we should not readily and cheerfully thus do for such a Deliverance as this?
A40097Or of his Royal Father''s, Ye Fools, when will ye be Wise?
A40097What shall I render unto the Lord for all His Benefits towards me?
A40097What shall we say to this?
A40097When will you be made sensible, how destructive to all Humane Society, the Principles are, on which you have founded your Flaming Loyalty?
A40097Who can question this, that hath not forgot, how very short his Power was of a Vice- Roys in Ireland, and that Lauzune made all the Figure there?
A372236. Who will shew us any good?
A37223But how can the infinite incomprehensible God be said to be the Portion of a Creature?
A37223But since we are allowed to love other things, how shall we know whether we make them our Portion or not?
A37223But what a weakness or rather madness is it, to chuse that for ones portion, which he is sure to lose?
A37223For how can any one say, that God is his Portion, when he prefer''s other things?
A37223For what is any creature in comparison of the Creator?
A37223For why?
A37223How much a wiser and happier course shall we take, to secure to our selves that other Portion which is certain and perpetual?
A37223If we would have him for our God, we must be his People; and how can that be made appear, but by being governed by his Laws?
A37223Now what likelier means can there be to establish the heart, and make a man constant, than fixed and deliberate Choice?
A37223Take away the Light, and what do all the Works of Art and Nature signifie?
A37223Thy Testimonies have I claimed as my heritage for ever, and why?
A37223What are the goods of this world, to that Immortal Kingdom which is above?
A37223What is outward splendor or felicity, in comparison of the Favour of God, which is better than life it self?
A37223What therefore must we do?
A37223What tho my Friends are taken from me?
A37223What tho my health be impair''d, and my body grown feeble, so that I can not enjoy my self as formerly?
A37223What though my portion in the World be small?
A37223When the Mind is engaged upon one Object, and so not at liberty to rove and wander after others?
A37223can not he make us happy, unless the World also smile upon us?
A37223how extremely miserable must his condition be, when he comes to have his Portion taken from him?
A37223if God be our Portion, is it not enough?
A37223is not he Alsufficient?
A37223whether he has met with any Object, that is able to make him substantially happy, and to secure him in that happy State?

A40680Is it not enough that I be passive, and patiently carry it when it is laid upon me?
A40680Is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
A40680Peace?
A40680The Covetous man marks, but whom?
A40680The ambitious man, but whom?
A40680The lascivious man marks, but whom?
A40680What a Tyranny is this for me to cross my self by taking up my own cross?
A40680What fitter matter to begin the new, then to treat of the direction to the living?
A40680can Subjects hope that their discoveries will be clearer then their Soveraigns?
A40680he could not meet with one good, where then shall we mark a perfect man?

A42051And is not this Fraternity such a near Relation, as should incline us to Peace and Unity?
A42051And what Returns shall we make to our King for this?
A42051And what is it that makes this God an Enemy to any Nation, but those Epidemical Sins that overspread it?
A42051And why else did he himself so earnestly Petition God to grant it?
A42051But can the Wisest of men amongst us foresee what the end of our Divisions may prove?
A42051See how very earnest St. Paul was for this, I the prisoner of the Lord beseech you; What to do?
A42051That he tells them, Whereas there is amongst you envyings, strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
A13083* Many say who will let us see good things?
A13083* Whom have I in heaven but thee, and in the earth I have desired none with thee?
A1308312. b Quid dicit Apostole?
A1308315. b Quis haec capit, nisi qui spiritualiter sapit?
A1308352. b Quomodo enim beata vita ubi nec vita?
A13083A question here ariseth, Whether there be a chief Ill as there is a chief good?
A13083And Solomon himself thought this task both worthy of him, and hard for him to finde out, what was that good or happinesse of the sons of men?
A13083And because they except slyly: It is true that none can pull his sheep out of his hand, yet, what if the sheep depart from him of their owne will?
A13083And because through him only we take boldnesse to approch to God: for who durst commit himselfe to so great a Majestie without his mediation?
A13083And shall we think that the blessings of the Gospel are set before us only to looke to without application?
A13083And the Apostle met teares, with* What do yee weeping and breaking my heart?
A13083And was it closed with this, Sonne, bee of good comfort, thy sins* are forgiven thee?
A13083And what sweeter than that hony- combe sticking in his bowels, that is the fruit of his obedience for us, springing of his incomparable love?
A13083And when S. Augustine asked a Pagan Philosopher, what was that way to be good?
A13083And who stronger* than the Lion of the tribe of Judah?
A13083Another errour about the fountain of happinesse is in the multitude: They seek it by ghesse, b Who will let us see good?
A13083Besides, it is the main end wherefore we are brought into the world, and if a new born childe could speak and were asked, wherefore he is born?
A13083Elkanah said to Hannah, Am I not worth ten children to thee?
A13083For how can there be a blessed life, where there is no life?
A13083For none can hurt us, but he that over commeth God, and who can overcome the Almightie g?
A13083God and we were more distant than heaven and hell: and how should that fountain communicate its goodnes to us, but by that chanell of our own nature?
A13083He put not his hand to labour, how should God open his hand to blesse?
A13083How much more reason have we to crave of God, that he would give us happinesse to conceave Jesus Christ by faith, or else we perish?
A13083If this be in the creature, how much more in the Creatour?
A13083If we ask any man though he were a fool, would you be happy?
A13083It may here be demanded: If affliction can stand with happines?
A13083Moses was silent at the red sea, and yet God said to him,* why cryest thou?
A13083Or how shall a man trust in himselfe to be happy, who can not guide his minde( his best part) from errour a?
A13083Or is an heire so simple, as to content himself to know, that his father hath an heritage, and is not at all perswaded that it pertaineth to him?
A13083That they deale expresly with God, Who am I to carrie thy message to thy people?
A13083The third is the Rest of securitie: For what availeth quiet and refreshment, if the next houre wee might lose them?
A13083This was* Balaams warsh wishing, his desires were so weak, that they pearced not his heart, how could they pearce the heaven?
A13083Was your treatie in the termes of peace?
A13083What is this, said one which shineth within me, and smiteth my heart without hurt; so that I both tremble and burne?
A13083Where his will, and our weale, and so many intercessours concur, who can stay our happinesse?
A13083Who laboured more than he, who* trode the winepresse of the Lord alone?
A13083Why seek ye happinesse in us who have it not, but are worse then your selves?
A13083a Quid autem eligamus, quod diligamus nist quo melius nihil invenimus?
A43125Art thou happy in the favour of thy Prince, and perswaded thy self thou shalt be enrich''d by his bounty?
A43125Dost thou depend upon the work of thy hands, or the contrivance of thy thoughts, thy bodily strength, or the labour of thy mind?
A43125Dost thou go down to the Sea in Ships, and occupy thy business in great waters?
A43125Dost thou promise thy self full Barns, and except encrease by the crop of thy fields?
A1661411. Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
A16614Alas, what is eightie yeares to eternitie?
A16614Alas, what sooner passeth away?
A16614And how is that done?
A16614And in the poorest cottage to find the greatest content?
A16614And is it not easily taken away?
A16614And is it not just so in the life of Man?
A16614And is not it so with the life of man?
A16614And why?
A16614Are there not many meanes to bring vs vnto our ends?
A16614Are they dayes, moneths, and yeares chastised?
A16614Are they greatly afflicted?
A16614Dost thou see and feele thy selfe to be mortall?
A16614Dost thou see those thou dependest vpon to be such?
A16614Dost thou thinke therefore that God that did loue thee, and that in his loue raised vp these and these meanes for thee, is mortall also and mutable?
A16614Euen as many as there are to waken vs out of sleepe?
A16614For if the Fountaine be bitter, how can the streames bee sweete?
A16614For the fourth, how many errors are we subiect to in sleepe?
A16614For why may not he that hath made vs of dust, turne vs againe vnto dust?
A16614How ordinarie a thing is it for men in the most aboundance to bee least satisfied?
A16614How then should we not thinke of our end?
A16614If God the Fountaine of all Goodnesse afflict us with evill, what hope can wee haue of God from any other?
A16614If the Almightie wound vs in his wrath, who can heale vs?
A16614Is it not the shorter, the sweeter and fuller of contents it is?
A16614Is it possible for condemned Malefactors, whilst they are going to the place of death, to forget wher- about they go?
A16614Is not the longest life short?
A16614Is therefore the hand of God vpon thee?
A16614No: Though he change and alter the meanes, and therby would haue thee to feare and tremble before him; yet doe not thou for all that despaire?
A16614Or if any shall heale one wound, shall wee not haue cause to feare two for that one?
A16614So that would we mooue the Lord to Compassion in our misery, and to graunt our requests?
A16614What is easier broken off then sleepe?
A16614What more stable then the earth that neuer remooues out of his place, nor moues in his place?
A16614What?
A16614When we see any signes of Gods displeasure in the world;( as which way almost can wee turne our eyes but we see it?
A16614Who are freer and more at libertie, and want least, then they that haue least?
A16614Who are ordinarily more bound, more in trouble, haue greater vexation, and disquiet, then those that haue most libertie and aboundance?
A16614Who knoweth the 〈 ◊ 〉 of thine anger; and of thy wrath according to thy feare?
A16614Whose life is longer then theirs in seeming, that liue least at ease?
A16614Whose life passeth sooner away or swifter then theirs that haue most comforts and sweetest?
A16614even the very prints of death, how his footing is in euery Towne, yea, in euery House?)
A16614how short also are the pleasures and sorrowes that are in sleepe?
A16614— How long?
A30589And then in the fifth place, Where there are multitudes coming in, will there not be a great deal of dross and filthiness?
A30589And why?
A30589Are there any false sayings of God?

A30589But Secondly, Is there a time that Jerusalem shall be made as the Praise of the whole Earth?
A30589But now, If you ask me when shall these things be?
A30589By that that hath outwardly appeared, who would think that a few People that were contemptible to the World, were God''s pleasant Portion?
A30589IN the fourth place, the time when Jerusalem shall be made the Praise of the whole Earth, what shall be done then?
A30589If we should examine and see what David was, how short should we come?

A30589It ca n''t be meant of two men, because they were to prophesie 1260 Years; but what made them go on in that mournful condition?
A30589Now I would but know when was this?
A30589Now doth it appear to the World that the Church is the peculiar treasure of God?
A30589Now if you say, How can these things be?
A30589The force of the Argument is thus; Saith God, Why, was not my Church, and Ordinances there, more glorious than their false Worship?
A30589When they went to build the Walls of Jerusalem again, they scoff at them; And what doe these feeble Jews?
A30589When will God do this?
A30589Who hath heard such a thing?
A30589Why is it said here, The Lord God of the holy Prophets?
A30589You will say, Are they not now?
A30589You will say, How can we know the Heart?
A30589You will say, What are those?
A30589You will say, What is the Wedding Garment by which the Saints are prepared to meet with Christ?
A30589You will say, are these things so, are they so indeed?
A30589You will say, why then have we the Scriptures?
A30589and hast not thou had the glory of God in the Gospel shining before thine Eyes?
A30589and then what must it be in Heaven, when it comes to be the thing it self in glory?
A30589and yet wilt thou turn after base things, to satisfie thy flesh, and mind nothing else but that?
A30589but how doth it appear then that the Church is the dearly Beloved of Gods Soul?
A30589for what pleasure is there in the Earth?
A30589hast not thou heard of those blessed things that are revealed in the Doctrine of Grace?
A30589may some say, I am a poor weak Christian, a poor Body, I am able to do but little, I may Sigh to God, but what are my prayers worth?
A30589shall the Earth be made to bring forth in one day, or shall a Nation be born at once?
A30589shall the Saints after the day of Judgment have a new Earth, and live upon the Earth here?
A30589was not my Temple more glorious than their Images?
A30589was this ever in the time of the Gospel?
A30589what time was this?
A30589when shall Jerusalem be made the praise of the whole Earth?
A30589where have we almost any that may parallel with David?
A30589who hath seen such things?
A39386And if such men go on without check in this manner; What will become of the Honour of God at present?

A39386But, what is this to Eli?
A39386Dare we lye under so heavy a Charge?
A39386How great ● Encouragement is this to proceed?
A39386How will his Authority and Worship be upheld, or his Memorial be preserved among men?
A39386Is God so highly Honoured by such Endeavours?
A39386Since they are two circumstances of one rank, can any one tell me, why Hallowed time shou''d not be as sacred as an Hallowed place?
A39386What Conscience then should they make of such a great Prize in their hands?
A39386What a strange turn is here in 〈 ◊ 〉 affairs of our Israel?
A39386Who dares but Offer himself?
A43279And what absurdity is there in all this?
A43279But how, I pray, after this manner, will the Effect be posterior to, or after its cause?
A43279Dost thou therefore assert that matter can not be Created?
A43279Dost thou therefore conclude positively, that out of nothing, nothing can be Created?
A43279Or what is Creation, according to thy Hypothesis or doctrinal Supposition?
A43279This is all I ask in the first place, Whether dost thou deny all Creation, properly so called?

A43551And in this place may be asked in the Eunuch''s words, Of whom here speaks the Prophet, either of himself, or of some other?
A43551And why all this?
A43551Et quemodo dicit, Benedictus Dominus?
A43551Et, De quo loquitur Propheta, vel populus fidelis?
A43551For, what particular is there in all this kindeness which is not marvellous, mirabile in oculis nostris, as marvellous in our eyes as it was in his?
A43551Hath the Lord need of us that we should bless him?

A43269Lord, who shall abide in thy Tabernacle?
A43269What if a man swears, and doth not intend to swear?
A43269What oath can then be too hard for men of this persuasion to swallow?
A43269Whether an oath taken in words so comprehensive, doth oblige to the performance of every Statute?
A43269Whether every one that hath thus sworn is guilty of a rash oath, as having sworn to more then he knows?
A43269how just is it, that he who hath thus disclaimed Gods favour, should be forsaken when he stands most in need of it?
A43269that he who hath thus abused the Holy Name of God, should not be heard when calleth upon that Name?
A43269that is, who shall be accounted worthy to be a member of thy faithfull congregation here, and to be admitted into thy presence hereafter?
A43269what can be more absurd then to, suppose that both these sins may be taken off, by adding a third sin of Hypocrisy?

A18923Are such like to diuide the worde arighte, that knowe not yet howe to pray in faith and Charity?
A18923Besides, how coms it about then, that they dare not saye, that the water in baptim is also turned into his reall blood, for cleansing of our soules?
A18923But how many of them haue the grace to laie downe their enmitie towards me, to confesse their euill, and accordingly to make satisfaction?
A18923But must it followe therefore, that none but the best, will qualifie a Christian, a Minister, or Sacramente?
A18923But wherein speciallie shall wee doe that?
A18923By thy Prophet thou thus saiest, They say if a man put away his wife& shee goe from him, and become an other mans: shal hee returne again unto her?
A18923Can it easily be thought that there were no moe in anye of them churches, to assiste the other in teaching?
A18923FOr an end to the whole: first, why did God incommend so many sortes of sacrifice to the church?
A18923For Iesus him self, who could exact more simplicity, thē hee wittingly& willingly performed?
A18923For what is the couering of our transitorye nature, but as Beastes hydes, wherewithall Adam and Heuah were first cloathed?
A18923How can I pray in Loue for him, if I doubt whether hee bee indeede a member of Christ?
A18923How coms the Goat then, ceremonially to shaddowe out Christ, who is the end of the lawe?
A18923How woulde such a one pray for these that persecute, when they praie no better for such as blesse?
A18923I doubt not of the lawfulnes stil( for who in their best yeares are sufficient for these things?)
A18923Ieremy saith, that it is good for a man to beare the yoke in his youth, and shall we bee impatient to beare, as thou hast borne before vs?
A18923If I should apply this, then who would abide it?
A18923If the people bee bound so to honour the meanest minister, how much more should people& inferior ministers, honor the greater?
A18923Israels congregatiō or church could sin, notwithstanding al the neer helpes they had from God, and can not the church now much more sinne?
A18923O Lorde, how shall wee stand in thy presence?
A18923O good God, if this be true( and too true it is) in what a miserye are churches ordinarilie in?

A18923Sweete Iesus, hast thou thus fryed for our sinnes?
A18923Teach this doctrine that shall, who will beleiue it?
A18923That Epistle comming ouer to London, ô vvhat a storme the Diuell there raised for smiting the corners of silly Iobs house?
A18923That many thinges amongst vs neede amendment, who knowes not, and what honest hearte lamentes not?
A18923That we shoulde laboure to conforme our selues vnto our heade in the like, who doubteth?
A18923The Prince of the people then stood need of a sacrifice, and do not our Princes and rulers stand in as much neede?
A18923The earth resined because man is of earth; but the Seas hauing no being more( as Seas) for what bee seas to man?
A18923The last question may be this, when shal ceremonies altogither end?
A18923The poore Turtle respecteth onelye her mate, and why shold we spiritually we d our heart to any but to thee?
A18923Timely crookes the Tree, that good crammocke will bee; and will wee not at firste bowe downe, take vp Christs yoke and followe him?
A18923Was euer the like vnsaithfull and vncharitable positiō maintayned to the poysoning of ignoraunte hearers?
A18923What greater faithfulnes can there be, thē that wherwith christ hath loued his Church?

A18923Will people neuer vnderstand?
A18923Yes, we are called in ma: 5: to be perfect as our heauēly father is And can wee in this life then be perfect?
A18923and what more light then vnity of mind?

A32016( saith he) shall such a man as I feare?)
A3201610. Who hath despised the day of small things?
A32016Am I such a one as this is?
A32016And God demands of Ezekiel: Can these drie bones live?
A32016And as the Apostles severally asked Christ, Master, is it I?
A32016And this Mercy did so melt his heart, that he cryes out, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest looke upon such a dead Dog as I am?
A32016And where should we goe for a broken heart, but to the heart- maker?
A32016And yet notwithstanding are there not many of us that sinne in the midst of mercies?
A32016Be astonished O ye Heavens at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye ve ● … y desolate, saith the Lord; Why?
A32016But doth not God indent and Covenant with a Nation, upon its repentance, to shew mercy, how then is Gods mercy free?
A32016But he was above all feare( shall such a man as I fly?
A32016Hath he not made thee, and established thee?
A32016Have I abused these mercies?
A32016Have I sinned with these mercies?
A32016How angry was Christ with Peter, because he would not suffer him to wash his feete?
A32016How many mountaines of opposition have melted before you, as mountaines of snow before the Sun?
A32016How often hath God appeared in the mount these two last yeares, as if he had resolved to take up his dwelling there?
A32016I have done many great workes among you, for which of these doe you stone me?
A32016If Gods mercies be so rare here in the valley of teares, what are they in the mountaine of joy?
A32016If thou art converted, blesse God for free grace: For who made thee to differ from another?
A32016Is not he the God that hath multiplyed mercies upon us?
A32016Is not he thy father that bought thee?
A32016May I not say to you as Moses to the Israelites; Doe ye thus requite the Lord, O ye foolish people and unwise?
A32016May not Christ say to you as he did to the Jewes?
A32016May not a man that hath two debtors equally indebted to him, spare the one and not the other, as he pleaseth?
A32016May we not give praise and thankes to the Parliament that hath taken such indefatigable paines for our good?
A32016Neither say they, Where is the Lord that brought us up out of the land of Aegypt?
A32016None so patient and mercifull as God, but yet when he begins to strike, and his anger is kindled, how unexpressible is his fury?
A32016Now as the Wiseman saith, Who knowes what a day may bring forth?
A32016Say as Nabal did( but in a better sense) shal I take my health which God hath given me, to sin against my God with it?
A32016Shall I take the wit that God hath given me, to plot against God and his cause with it?
A32016So m ● … t we aske our hearts, Am not I the man that ought to be ashamed, and ● … nfoundid for my sins against mercies?
A32016So must we say, Num ego talis?
A32016That are like the Horse and Mule that have no understanding?
A32016This sin is so great, that the Apostle cries out, Shall I take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an Harlot?
A32016Thou, for whom I have done so much: Wherefore hast thou despised the Commandement of the Lord?
A32016What a mercy is it to be out of hell?
A32016What excuse shall we bring?
A32016What shall we say after this, O our God?
A32016What shall we say?
A32016What shift shall we plead?
A32016What so blunt as iron?
A32016What so calme as the Sea?
A32016What would Germany give, if they had these mercies?
A32016What would Ireland doe for God, if they had these mercies?
A32016When David was used unkindly by Nabal, upon whom he had bestowed many courtesies, how did this unkindnesse provoke David to anger?
A32016Wherefore hast thou despised the Commandement of the Lord to doe evill in his sight?
A32016Who art thou, O great mountaine, before Zerubbabel?
A32016Who can tell if God will turne, and repent,& c.?
A32016Who knowes but that God may reare us up a glorious Church?
A32016Who knows what a mercy such a day as this may bring forth?
A32016Who knows what a rare successe this day may have throughout all England?
A32016and Moses himselfe spake unadvisedly with his lips, when he said, Shall we bring water out of this Rocke,& c?
A32016and if thou didst receive it; why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?
A32016and is this the manner of man O Lord God?
A32016and what hast thou which thou hast n ● … t received?
A32016but when it is sh ● … rpned, what more sharpe?
A32016but yet when a storme comes, what so tempestuous?
A32016can God make a way through the hoasts of the Phi ● … istines?
A32016that remaine irreformable in a yeare of Reformation, that not onely hate to be reformed, but hate the very Reformation it selfe?
A32016that sinne under mercies, even under mercies?
A32016what is the matter?
A32016will they fortifie themselves?
A32016will they make an end in a day?
A32016will they revive the stones, out of the heapes of the rubbish which are bu ● … nt?
A32016wouldst thou not be angry with us, till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
A45536And indeed what else can be expected from such unruly assemblies?
A45536And thinkest thou this O man, that judgest them which a ● such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgement of God?
A45536And thus by degrees they might have proceeded till they had had a fairer way to a Nimium arrogatis, and a Quare ele vamini?
A45536But were the common people spectators all this while, were not they fetcht in by some trick and devise to participate of this Rebellion?
A45536Quorum exitus perhorrescis, eorum facta imitabere?
A45536Secondly, with an expostulation, Quare elevamini?
A45536Thou that tremblest at these mens ends, wilt thou imitate their deeds and actions?
A45536What?
A45536What?
A45536Wherefore doe you lift up your selves above?
A45536],[ London?]
A45536was there no spirit of fortitude in those valiant souldiers, so stout and daring in their Emperours Battell, and so remisse and cold in Christs Cause?
A45536was there no zeale, no jealousie for Gods honour in these holy Martyrs and Saints of God?
A45564And should not this be considered?
A45564And thus, Who ever perished being righteous?
A45564But shall it be so alwaies?
A45564For( tell me) is it not a mercy to be put into a safe harbour, before the stormy tempest arise?
A45564How much better is it to spend my daies in pleasure, and indulge to my lusts whilest I live, since I can but die at last?
A45564I am afraid such thoughts as these do sometimes arise in the minds of men: How dieth the wise man even as the fool, the righteous as the wicked?
A45564If it shall be now enquired in what notion this term righteous was attributed to them, and may be affirmed of every godly man?
A45564If you shall ask, why dying, which is only a separation of the soul from the body, not an annihilation of either, is called a perishing?
A45564Nay, it is not only a losse, but( as hath been already expressed) it is a dolefull presage of ruine: And shall it not be laid to heart?
A45564Though the Sun is not much observed by us whilest it shineth, yet if it be in an Eclipse, who doth not take notice of it?
A45564To get into the House, before the thunder and lightning rain, and hail fall?
A45564We may observe among beasts,( even swine) a sympathy; so that when one is killed, the rest are troubled: And shall there not be among men?
A45564What matters it for mens hatred, so we have Heavens love?
A45564Will not the Judge of all the world do right?
A45564Will there not be a Reward for the righteous?

A26784Will the remembrance of the Enjoyments here, afford any refreshment in Everlasting Burnings?
A26784Yet how many practise themselves what they would deride in others?
A26784and Fools hate knowledg?
A26784for what do I consume my Time?
A26784how disorderly and ruinous will the course be?
A26784how easily, how frequently and dangerously do they fall, and both defile and wound themselves?

A26784or the Son of Man that thou regardest him?
A26784or, what shall a Man give in exchange for his Soul?
A26784that Mercy was so often and so rebelliously resisted?

A26784what do I prepare, what shall attend me, what shall I meet in the next State?
A38021After this sort do we bemoan our selves under Gods judgments; but where is the man among us, that cryes out of his sins, his sins?
A38021And are there not as sad breakings out of sin, are there not fouler blemishes and spots upon every wicked man?
A38021Art thou so sensible of thy sin, that thou hatest it with a perfect hatred, and even loathest thy self for the commission of it?
A38021Ask thy self thus, How should I bear it, if God should cast me on a bed of sickness?
A38021But there is balm in Gilead, there is a Physitian there: Whether should we go but unto Christ?
A38021Can the Aethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots?
A38021Dost thou then desire to be delivered from thy body of sin?
A38021Hast thou not procured this unto thy self, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God?
A38021Have not some wretches been seized on and apprehended by death, in the very acts of uncleanness and loose de bauchery?
A38021Have you not heard of some that have swom out of the world in excessive drink, they being( in the worst sense of all) dead drunk?
A38021How many Plague- sores doth the sinner carry about with him?
A38021How many are there that take a course to damne themselves?
A38021How sad must their condition be which thus leave this world and appear in another?
A38021How scared and affrighted are their souls in their entrance into that other state?
A38021How timorous are we and dejected, at the thoughts of the Plagues approaching near us?
A38021I have received good things at Gods hand, how shall I do to receive evill things?
A38021Is any among you afflicted?
A38021Is it a body of death unto thee?
A38021Is it heavy, uneasie, and burthensome to thee?
A38021Methinks God speaks to us in some such language; What?
A38021Sh ● ll there be any evill in a City, and the Lord hath not done it?
A38021The Prophet Ieremy gives the reason,[ The heart is deceitfull above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it?]
A38021The ways of the wicked grieve God and his Holy Spirit, and shall they not grieve every good man?
A38021Thou being thus prepared before- hand, and answering affirmatively to that question which our Saviour put to the diseased;[ Wil t thou be made whole?]
A38021Was not Senacherib slain when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god?
A38021We are greedy of mercies, but how backward are we to acknowledg the receipt of them, and to walk worthy of them?
A38021What are those curses and oaths which I hear from the swearers mouth?
A38021What are those dismall characters and worser sort of Carbuncles in the intemperate person and common drunkard?
A38021What are those lamentable and apparent marks, those blows and bruises which oppression and cruelty are the cause of?
A38021What are those swellings and tumours of pride?
A38021What cryings and complainings are there in our streets?
A38021What if God should take all my outward enjoyments from me, stripping me naked and turning me so into the wide world?
A38021What if I should go down the wind, if my credit should crack and my friends fail me?
A38021What maner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and Godlinesse?
A38021What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me?
A38021When I have brought them into straits, can they by their own power extricate themselves out of them?
A38021Who knows, but that these present calamities are prologues and presages of far worser?
A38021You have a Bill brought in every fortnight, to tell you how many dye of the former; but alas, how many souls every week perish by the latter?
A38021can they prev ● nt that affliction which I have allotted them?
A38021does he think to take any Antidote against the fatall Dose which Caesars hand shall give him?
A38021else what mean those palpable risings of lust and uncleanness?
A38021how many ways doth a naughty heart discover it self?
A38021shall poor mortalls think to controll me?
A45645Again, what doth Mr. Hobbs mean by the Will''s being the Necessary Cause of Voluntary Actions?
A45645And when one wrote to him on this Point, alledging, that if the Will were not free, All Vice would be excusable; he Answers, Quid inde a?
A45645But how ridiculously Vain is all this, according to these Principles?
A45645But if this be spoken of the Will, what will it signifie?
A45645But will not such a Principle as this be the most mischievous and dangerous to Mankind that can possibly be?
A45645Can any Man help being of that Opinion he embraces?
A45645Doth it not open a Door to all the Wickedness that can possibly enter into the Heart of Man to commit?
A45645For why do they write Books, and spin out such Elaborate Treatises as they fansie they do?
A45645Is not the Magistrate as much necessitated to Punish as they are to Offend?
A45645and if he hath absolutely necessitated them to do just as they do?
A45645and the Government to make Laws as they are to break them?
A45645and why should they set themselves up above others, and expect Praise and Glory for their fine Thoughts and elevated Notions?
A45645they can''t sure be so Ignorant as to expect to convince any Body, or to Proselyte any one over to their Opinion?
A45545And again, who heard such a thing as this?
A45545And what lesse was the restoration of the Jews, who were no way able to rescue themselves, nor yet the Babylonians disposed to let them go?
A45545If you shall ask, Why the Prophets were so bold as to affix Gods Name to their Messages?
A45545It is a Question moved by the Schools, Whether God can make such a creature as should be able to create another?
A45545Peace and government, for what peace where there is no government?
A45545Peace then would be first sought for in reference to the State, by an harmonious Union ▪ What other is the State but a politicall body?
A45545Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day, or shall a Nation be born at once?
A45545To the right understanding whereof, the Question would be made and resolved, whose lips are here meant?
A45545To this tend those expressions in this Prophet, Who are those that flee as the clouds, and as the doves to the windows?
A45545We finde this Prophet complaining, Who hath beleeved our report?
A45545What room then for infidelity when we have such sure promises?
A45545When Amasiah wished to David, Peace, Peace be to thee, what did he thereby intimate, but all kinde of prosperity?
A45545Who hath seen such things?
A45545and what other peace can be desirable in a body, than an union of the head with the members, and the members one with another?
A45545and yet this was effected: Who would have expected that Abraham and Sarah being stricken in years should have a childe?
A45646Accordingly Vaninus tells us, That Protagoras used to say, Si Deus non est unde igitur Bona?
A45646For can any Man produce a Law that ever obtained universally against paying Adoration and Worship to the Deity?
A45646Is not such a Mans whole course of Action, a continual state of War in his own Breast, and a constant Contradiction of his Reason and his Conscience?
A45646What an unexpressible wretchedness would Mankind be in, if Hobbs his State of Nature were in Being amongst us?
A45646Will Men take their Measures to judge of Human Nature only from the Monstrosities of it, from the worst and most stupid Parts of Mankind?
A45646Will not a General Rule stand its Ground tho''there be a few Exceptions against it?
A45646against Mens honouring their Parents, or against their being Just, Good, Merciful, and Righteous in their Dealings with one another?
A45646and prove our greatest Support under any Troubles and Afflictions?
A09268All these, or the most of these, I am sure, were Servants: For who used to beare burdens, but the Servants?
A09268An Deus posteros puniat ob Majorum suorum flagiti ●?
A09268And did not the 70 know what 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 meant?
A09268And how doe they Greeke it here?
A09268And is not water as unmercifull an element as fire?
A09268And must wee suffer our Oxe to sticke in the mire, as a rod from God?
A09268And so who doubts, but it is lawfull then to labour?
A09268And were not the Septuagint Iewes?
A09268And were not these in fault?
A09268And why?
A09268And why?
A09268But did not Daniel afterwards eate?
A09268But doth not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 in Chaldee properly signifie a Freeman?
A09268But was this Feast disused since Iosua''s time?
A09268But what if these did it onely to testifie their joy and exultation?
A09268But what if wee prove out of this very Chapter, That Nehemiah did contest with all, Servants and all?
A09268But what needes this, sith a reconciliation is at hand; that this prohibition is to be construed with the exception still of necessity?
A09268But what say the 70 here?
A09268By whom?
A09268Did none refuse to pay their portions but the Rulers?
A09268Did not the Church now want a rule of certainty?
A09268Did not they best know how to give the right meaning of their owne Language?
A09268Did not your Fathers th ● e?
A09268Did they more now in this Feast, than the very Law it selfe required?
A09268Doth not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, naturally and Grammatically signifie Freemen?
A09268Else, why did Nehemiah contest with them?
A09268Except such and such Freemen that were fit for her designe, were not to be made acquainted with that horrid plot?
A09268For had not Christ and his Apostles the holy Ghost?
A09268For who be they that in all trades, places, markets, faires, sell?
A09268Full and whole?
A09268How so?
A09268How then doth he here say, Vntill there stand up a Priest with Vrim and Thummim?
A09268How then doth the Text oppose them to Freemen, and make them as two severall distinct Branches?
A09268Is it not derived by Etymology from the Hebrew 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A09268Is it not in your eyes in comparison of that, as nothing?
A09268Is it not now a simple piece of Logicke, thus to argue?
A09268Nay: Is not more, and more full revelation promised in the second Temple, than in the first?
A09268Not the servants as well as the Master?
A09268Our forefathers?
A09268Question is made, whether onely they of Iudah and Benjamin returned?
A09268Should such a man as I flie?
A09268THe question is, Whether in case a man marry an Amorite, now an infidell; he be to put her away by vertue of this Law?
A09268The Question is, whether in case a man marry an Amorite, now an Infidell, he be to put her away by vertue of this Law?
A09268The originall is,[ 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉] What?
A09268Then I testified against them, and said unto them: Why lodge yee about the Wall?
A09268Tribes incorporated themselves into the two Tribes?
A09268WHy defile himselfe?
A09268Was it not a great decay to Religion, that Vrim and Thummim were lost?
A09268Well then; Can any man once imagine, that men of fame and renowne onely did put their money to hire?
A09268Were not the Commons many of them Freemen now?
A09268What English is this?
A09268What evill thing is this that yee doe, and prophane the Sabbath?
A09268What had the Freemen to doe with her practise?
A09268What needs then to urge the servants to doe that, which of themselves they would faine doe?
A09268What questions?
A09268What will you doe now?
A09268What?
A09268What?
A09268What?
A09268What?
A09268What?
A09268What?
A09268What?
A09268What?
A09268Where is all this boasting then?
A09268Whom doth Nehemiah reprove?
A09268Yet how often in the old Testament is it used to signifie a Ruler in the State?
A09268[ Remember not,] against whom?
A09268and did not our God bring all this evill upon us and upon this Citie?
A09268and did not they live under the second Temple?
A09268and perhaps famish?
A09268and who is there that being as I am, would goe into the Temple to save his life?
A09268and yet doe you say, the Argument thence is of no force?
A09268did he carry away all the Freemen?
A09268doth not that Chaldee come by etymology frō the Hebrew word, and doth the Chaldee usually signifie Freemen?
A09268doth not the Lord threaten it as a curse, that he will take away?
A09268his crucifying and death continued for the space of 3. yeares and a halfe( than which, what more absurd?)
A09268how doe you see it now?

A47445No great Cure was ever perfected without putting the Patient to some pain; and then why should we expect it?
A47445What business had he with a standing Army, or numerous Troops of Dragoons, but to employ them as Missionaries, to Convert his Heretical Subjects?
A47445Who would not within these last Three Years have given one half of his Estate to save the other?
A47440For what else could have brought such different Interests and Judgments to acquiesce in the conclusion?

A47440Who would not within these last three years have given one half of his Estate to save the other?
A45567And would you know the reason of all this?
A45567Hast thou Oh God given me my life as a prey, and shall not I give it thee as a sacrifice?
A45567How should every one of us upon the hearing of this sad blow, entertaine these or the like serious thoughts?
A45567If any shall be curiously inquisitive by what meanes the Bush was thus preserved?
A45567In great love to my Soul thou didst deliver me from the dreadfull burning, and shall I still tempt thy patience by grievous sinning?
A45567This day, was then the last day of life to many, who might else in probability have been now alive; and why may not this day be my last?
A45567Well doth the Prophet say of them, they will not see, since they could not but see, did they not wilfully blinde their eyes?
A45567What more probable, then that a Bush on fire should be turn''d into ashes?
A45567Why then( on the one hand) doe the Heathen rage?
A45567Why( on the other hand) should the Israel of God despond?
A45567and yet our Blessed Saviours words are expresse, he maketh his Sun to rise: what more naturall to man then to move?
A45567did you not vow to God( if he would rescue you out of that danger) thankfulnesse, repentance, obedience, and shall such obligations be cancelled?
A45567whence should the servants of God feare destruction, where need they doubt protection, as being under his armes, who is over all?
A457483. vers 14. Who would not then believ him?

A45748But what success have they?
A45748But which street?
A45748Here the question is, whether these words are to bee understood of the friends, or of the enemies of the Professors of the true Religion?
A45748How long shall it bee to the end of these wonders?
A45748In the eighth chapter of Matthew vers 29. these spirits do expostulate with the Lord Jesus, saying: What have wee to do with thee?
A45748Shall hee not avenge his own elect, which crie daie and night unto him, though hee bear long with them?
A45748The dead bodies of the Witnesses in this street?
A45748When the Son of man cometh, shall hee finde faith on the earth?
A45748Wherefore it is called into Question, whether 3 ½ times and one thousand two hundred sixtie daies are one and the same times?
A45748art thou com hither to torment us before the time?
A270424. Who is it but your selves that hath brought you under Gods displeasure?
A270425. Who wounded Conscience, and hath raised all your doubts and fears?
A270426. Who is it but your selves that hath brought you so neer the gulf of misery?
A27042And may I not freely tell you, that God should have the precedencie?
A27042And must not Magistrates as well govern by their lives, as by their Laws?
A27042And now I beseech you all consider; is it not better to Remember your sins on earth, then in hell?
A27042Are death and Judgement matters of less moment?
A27042Are those men likely to take care of the happiness of so many thousands, that will still be so careless of themselves?
A27042Are your sins so small, so venial, so few, that you can find no employment on them for your memories?
A27042Consider the loathsome nature of your sins, and how then can you choose but loath your selves?
A27042Did not he make the Law that doth command it; professing that none shall see his face without it?
A27042Do they loath themselves for all their sins, who loath those that will not do as they?
A27042Do they loath themselves that are readier to justifie all their sins, or at least extenuate them, then humbly confess them?
A27042Do you loath your selves for all this, as being vile in your own eyes, and each man say, What a wretch was I?
A27042Enquire then, whether there be none among you that live a sensual careless life; cloathed with the best, and faring deliciously every day?
A27042For your souls sake enquire now, Is it thus with you?
A27042How carefully would you help the Labourers that are sent to guid men in the holy path?
A27042How confident should I be, that I could convert the most, if this were the Conversion?
A27042How little need should I have had to press it with all this importunity?
A27042How much further think you is it possible, for wicked souls to go in sinning?
A27042How severely would you deal with those, that by making a mock of Godliness, do hinder the salvation of the peoples souls?
A27042If brutish objects be your employment and delight, do I need to tell you what you make your selves?
A27042Is God and Heaven less worth then these?
A27042Is it not the God of Heaven himself that they make a scorn of?
A27042Is not Holiness his image?
A27042Is there none among you that spend your precious time in vanities, that is allowed you to prepare for life eternal?
A27042Is this your duty now, or is it not?
A27042Lest when he plagueth and condemneth you he say, Why persecuted you me?
A27042O that that this Honourable Assembly could know it in some measure, as it shall be shortly known?
A27042O then what Laws would you make against sin?
A27042Or can you expect to be obeyed by others, when you will not obey the God of Heaven and Earth your selves?
A27042Or is the offending of the Eternal God, so slight and safe a thing, as not to need your consideration?
A27042Or shall I think it were uncharitableness not to hope for it?
A27042Or would you have the people to be better then your selves?
A27042Shall I think it were presumption for me to hope for so high a reward for so short a labour?
A27042Shall the thorns and bryers be set in battail against the consuming fire and prevail?
A27042Surely God made not his Laws for nought; nor doth he make such a stir by his Word, and Messengers, and Providences against an harmless thing?
A27042The question is not, whether Bishops or no?
A27042The suffering to the sound in faith is as nothing: for what is the foaming rage of mad men to be regarded?
A27042We have all seen the evils of Liberty to be wanton in Religion: Is it not worse to have Liberty, to deride Religion?
A27042Will you make Laws which you would not have men obey?
A27042You can easily loath an enemy; and who hath been a greater enemy to any of you, then your selves?
A27042and What is it that God would have us do?
A27042and What shall we wish we had done at last?
A27042and endangered your eternall peace?
A27042and how they will look back on all at last?
A27042and to thrust his service into corners, and give him but the odious leavings of the flesh?]
A27042and what judgement it is that they will all be of, in the controversie between the flesh and spirit, at the later end?
A27042and what will be the fruit and end of all their lusts and vanities?
A27042and whether an holy or a sensual life will be sweetest to a dying man?
A27042and whether enow to use it?
A27042before your Physitian, then before your Judge?
A27042but whether Discipline or none?
A27042for your cure, then for your torment?
A27042or have you thus returned with self- loathing to the Lord, and firmly engaged your souls to him at your enterance into a holy life?
A27042to forget thy God, thy soul, thy happiness?
A27042to serve thy flesh?
A27042was it not your sinfull selves?
A27042what a monster of rebellion and ingratitude, to do all this against the Lord of love and mercy?
A27042what an unreasonable self- hating wretch, to do all this against my self?
A27042what have they left but a sting behind them?
A27042why then was fasting, and sack cloth and ashes, the badg of such in ancient times?
A3594310. Who will bring me into the strong City?
A359432. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD?
A359435. Who is like unto the LORD our God?
A35943Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee?
A35943He casteth forth his ice likt morsels: who can stand before his cold?
A35943How many are the dayes of thy servant?
A35943How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God: how great is the summe of them?
A35943How shall we sing the LORDS song in a strange land?
A35943I will behave my self wisely in a perfect way: O when wilt thou come unto me?
A35943If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities: O LORD, who shall st ● an?
A35943It is the Lords praise, that his servants are the only blessed people in the world: Praise ye the Lord: why?
A35943LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him?
A35943Mine eyes faile for thy word: saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
A35943Sharp arrowes of the mighty?
A35943The LORD is on my side, I will not feare: what can man do unto me?
A35943There is rare wisdome to be learned out of Gods decrees and works; How precious are thy thoughts unto me?
A35943What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest?
A35943What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits towards me?
A35943What shall be given unto thee?
A35943When the world is crying, Who will shew us any good thing?
A35943Wherefore should the heathen say: Where is now their God?
A35943Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?
A35943Whither shall I go from thy Spirit: or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A35943Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off?
A35943Ye mountaines that ye skipped like rams: and ye little hills like lambs?
A35943and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
A35943and upon what ground is he so confident?
A35943and wilt not thou go forth with our hostes?
A35943and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hostes?
A35943or the sonne of man; that thou makest account of him?
A35943or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
A35943thou Iordan that thou wast driven back?
A35943when wilt thou execute judgement on them that persecute me?
A35943who can shew forth all his praise?
A35943who will lead me into Edom?
A46905And now for the punishing and preventing of these and such like practises, upon whom are the minds of the people set, but upon your Lordships?
A46905And thou that, by a plea of judgement, dost these things, thinkest thou, that thou shalt escape the judgement of God?
A46905Behold, thou hast given me five talents, and I have made them ten; and when the question shall be put, how, or by what means?
A46905Can horses run upon a rock, or one plow there with oxen?
A46905Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots?
A46905Shall horses run upon the rock?
A46905what a strange reckoning will the rich steward make, when God shall at last( as assuredly he will) require of him an account of his stewardship?
A46905will one plow there with oxen?

A34663He proved them to doe them good; when hee saith, my love, it is more then lovely, it is love, it is love it selfe; and faire one is more then faire?

A34663whither is thy beloved turned aside?
A34663yea, how then should her heart have beene otherwise then asleepe too?
A43127And I would ask a prophane and impenitent person, how he thinks he can bear the pomp of the last tribunal?
A43127And that is, that none considereth in his heart, I have burnt part of it in the fire, and shall I make the residue of it an abomination?
A43127And what great pleasure is it that we have from vice?
A43127But what if these things were only probabilities and conjectures?
A43127Have I not begun my preparation for death till this day, and yet for ought I know this may be the very last day of my life?
A43127I then began to examine him as to the state of his Soul, what sense he had of his sins?
A43127Is there then no thought, or labour in, or beyond the grave?
A43127Let us see then what use wisdom would make of such a consideration as this; would it pass this little time it has given it to no purpose?
A43127a pious life would still be the most advantageous conclusion we could deduce from this; for what do we loose by it?
A43127and can we live here, as if we had nothing to do, or nothing but what we might defer till a future state?
A43127and do we not all act thus in those affairs that relate to our temporal concerns?
A43127and how then should it not be prudence to judge alike with reference to our eternal ones?
A43127and if this opportunity being once lost, there be no other to retrieve our hopes, does not common reason urge us immediately to embrace and employ it?
A43127and what if Fortune smile upon us here for a moment?
A43127and what remorse for having at any time offended God?
A43127and whether he were perswaded of the necessity of repentance and amendment of life in order to gain the Salvation purchased by Iesus Christ?
A43127does it ballance the dismal apprehensions we have upon a sickbed, or upon approaching death?
A43127if in the mean time our hopes reach no farther, and death is to put an end both to our grandeur and our expectation?
A43127if the time we have to stay be but short, is it not just and fit that we be cautious of loosing and misapplying it?
A43127if we are sure in the end to find a lasting comfort, to have all our tears wiped off, and an admittance given us into the joy of our Lord?
A43127is there nothing that can avail us towards joy in the world to come, but our passing of our days on earth in a conscientious discharge of our duty?
A43127or for so short a time?
A43127or to wicked ones?
A43127or what do we gain by the contrary?
A43127or what if it does?
A43127shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
A43127shall I gratify my own follies and vices, and in the hurry of them fancy I live for a moment, and so be carried away blindly into everlasting Death?
A43127what if all these join together to make our journey uneasy?
A43127what if the world frown upon us, and we meet with disappointments in our designs, necessity in our fortune and pains and diseases in our bodies?
A43127what if we are feared or envy''d, caressed or loved by those about us?
A43127what if we have health of body, plentiful estates and fair reputations?
A43127what if we were not fully assured that there were to be a future state, but only apprehended and dreaded it?
A43127what thoughts would be raised in him from the sight of a distant Heaven, and what sense he would have of the torments of a present Hell?
A43127whether he gave credit to the Miracles that are there recorded; and lookt upon them as attestations of the truth of the Christian Religion?
A43127would it carelessly let slip the opportunities of repentance and amendment, or render them yet more difficult by affected and habitual impieties?
A43127would it neglect its work or add to it?
A43127would it study methods and contrivances to waste and mispend it?
A43127would not any man that reflects seriously on this be apt to say to himself, shall I spend my thoughts or contrivance for that which profiteth nothing?
A45351A Tradesman, that takes up these dishonest ways of living, what Injury may he bring upon such as are of the same Trade with himself?
A45351And what more horrible than Death?
A45351And what worthier Object can there be for us to exert our Faculties upon, than God and the Mansions of everlasting Felicity?
A45351And why were they so?
A45351And with what Body do they come?
A45351Do you believe a Resurrection, a Judgment to come?
A45351Do you believe the Scriptures?
A45351From those Base and Vitious Practices, What a Loss flows to the Subject?
A45351How doth one Wickedness tread upon the heels of another?
A45351How doth the Commission of one Sin make way for another?
A45351How many Sins might we have avoided in the course of our Lives, if we had had the serious remembrance and apprehension of these things?
A45351How strangely then will such Sadducees, or any, who are mindless of a future state, be surpriz''d at the Resurrection of the Dead?
A45351I know you believe it: May I say, I know you remember it?
A45351If there be any here of a Sadducean Temper, that deny the Resurrection; or, with the Corinthian Naturalist, question How are the Dead raised up?
A45351Thus Ezekiel 18.27, 28. Who is he that turneth away from his Wickedness, and doth that which is lawful and right?
A45351Thus in the Gospel; Who were they that heard the Word of God, and were no better for it?
A45351What a Scandal to the Nation?
A45351What curbs and restrains a Man from the Commission of any wicked Act?
A45351What more intolerable than Eternal Fire?
A45351What more terrible than such a Judgment?
A45351What wo n''t men do when blinded by interest; when Mammon is their God?
A45351Why forsook they the Lord, and provoked him to Anger?
A45351Will you not then consider your latter end, so as to prepare for it by true and faithful Repentance?
A45351if we sail without Chart, without Compass, without a Pilot, what can we expect but a fatal Shipwrack?
A45351what is Vice and Immorality, but a sort of practice that debaseth and disparageth a Man?

A38556You remember, Christians, ah you can not but remember Gods sore judgement of the Plague; and were we not ready to say, Oh now God hath done with us?
A38556and are we still under the Sword without, and the Plague within?

A48734But how?
A48734Do we then by faith,( and I may say, do we then by our good works) make void the Law?
A48734For how shall Samuel judge, if he have not a Rule laid before him, according to which judgment is to be made?
A48734For what is Reason it self, but a Law and Rule of mens actions?
A48734For what says the Apostle elsewhere?
A48734Shall I tell you the end of the Law?
A48734What does the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear him, and to love him, and to serve him?
A48734What doth the Lord require of thee, O man, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
A48734Why do you not rather suffer your selves to be defrauded?
A48734Why do you not rather take wrong?
A48734Would he, do you think, had he been called into a Christian Court, solemnly to bear witness to the Truth, have scrupled an Oath?
A48734if we hold together upon no better terms then these, where are we?
A48734so on the other hand, without a Judge, Law it self would be of no use: For how would Laws be executed, or publick order be preserved?
A48734would he have answered to an Interrogatory Yea or Nay?
A27888A Table furnish in the Wilderness?
A27888And grieve, when they against thee rise?
A27888And why you little Hills, like Lambs?
A27888Are all, that work Iniquity, By Ignorance so blindly led?
A27888Awake, O Lord, why dost thou sleep?
A27888Blaspheming thus; Can God our wants redress?
A27888Can Death thy living Truth record?
A27888Can senseless Dust thy Praise extend?
A27888Confirm''d in skilful Malice; they Conspire, their Nets in secret lay: And say; What eye Can this descry?
A27888Dar''st thou explain My Law; My Covenants with thy lips prophane?

A27888Doth God regard what''s good or ill?
A27888For whom have I but Thee in Heaven above?
A27888GOd is my Saviour, my clear light: Who then can my repose affright?
A27888GOd sits upon the Throne of Kings, And Judges unto judgement brings: Why then so long Maintain you wrong, And favour Lawless things?
A27888Give you Sincere advice?
A27888God hath abandon''d him, say they; Now let us make his life our prey: Who shall our power oppose?
A27888Great God of Battail, wilt thou still Be angry, and our prayers despise?
A27888He in her Centre takes his place: What Foe can her fair Towers deface, Protected by his early Grace?
A27888He in my trouble heard my Prayers, And freed me from their deadly snares: He fights my Battails; then how can ● fear the Power of feeble Man?
A27888His Acts to all the World relate?
A27888How can I fall; When I, and all My hopes on thee relie?
A27888If I gave words unto such thoughts as these, I should th''assemblies of thy Saints displease: For then, what were it to be just, or good?
A27888If their foundation be destroy''d, What can the Righteous build upon?
A27888In Misery and Age why should I fear, When Sin pursues my steps, and Death draws near?
A27888Like Hypocrites at Feasts, they jeer; Whose gnashing teeth their hate profess: O Lord, how long wilt thou forbear, And only look on my distress?
A27888Lord, hate not I thy Enemies?
A27888Lord, wilt not thou, that did''st reject, Nor would''st before our Armies goe, Now lead our Host against the Foe?
A27888Lord, wilt not thou, that didst reject, Nor wouldst before our Armies goe, Now lead our Host against the Foe?
A27888MY God, on Thee my hopes relie: Why say they to my troubled Soul, Arise, up to your Mountain flie; Flie, quickly, like a chaced Fowl?
A27888My Foes have said, When shall he die, And yet out- live his Memory?
A27888My cries then with my grief renew, Which thus implor''d thy saving Grace: What profit can my blood afford, When I shall to the Grave descend?
A27888O Thou in Mischief great, Why boasts thou in deceit?
A27888O which way shall I take my flight?
A27888O why hast thou her Fences ras''t?
A27888O, why hast thou withdrawn thy Grace, And hid thy Face; From me, who from my Infancy But daily die?
A27888On thy Holy Hill reside?
A27888Or Virtue but in show pursue?
A27888Or holy Hymns sing in a forrein Land?
A27888Or into sandy Edom guide?
A27888Or into sandy Edom guide?

A27888Or to our Wills prescribe a bound?
A27888Or what appear Worth such a fear, My life protected by his Might?
A27888Or what on Earth can my Affections move?
A27888Or where conceal me from thy sight?
A27888Or wilt thou in Destruction save?

A27888Shall Tyranny With thee comply?
A27888Shall not th''Almighty see and hear, Who form''d the Eye, and fram''d the Ear?
A27888Shall we prophane our Harps at their command?
A27888That scorn''st instruction; dost my Word despise; Consent''st with Theeves, and hast adulterous eyes?
A27888The Dead from their cold Mansions raise, To sing thy Praise?
A27888Their words like weapons pierce my bones; While still they Eccho to my Groans, Where is the Lord thy Trust?
A27888Though from the cloven Rocks fresh Currents drill, Can he give Bread?
A27888WHo shall in thy Tent a — bide?
A27888WIthdraw not, O my God, my guide: In time of Trouble dost thou hide thy cheerful face?
A27888What God can be compar''d with ours?
A27888What man delights in life?
A27888What mortal will th''Afflicted aid?
A27888What shall I unto God restore For all his Mercies?
A27888What''s he who fears The ever- Blest?
A27888Who Mischief for a Law propounds?
A27888Who Nations slew, Not punish you?

A27888Why should th''insulting Heathen cry; Where''s now the God they vainly praise?
A27888Why should the wicked God despise, And say he looks with careless eyes?
A27888Why, Mountains, did you skip like Rains?
A27888Will I eat flesh of Bulls?
A27888Will I, if hungry, unto Thee complain, When all is Mine which Sea and Land contain?
A27888Wilt thou thy Wonders bring to light, In Deaths long Night?
A27888Wilt thou to those thy Wonders show, Who sleep below?
A27888With- drawing thy accustom''d Grace From such as in Affliction mourn?
A27888You Sons of Men, how long will you Eclipse my Glory, and pursue Lov''d Vanities; Delight in Lies, To Man, to God untrue?

A42952* Who made you Ministers of the Gospel to the White People only, and not to the Tawneys and Blacks?
A42952And also Job, when he asked, Did not he that made me in the Womb make them, and did not one fashion us both in the Womb?
A42952And now this being considered, what right can we have thus fiercely to declaim against these Mahometans?
A42952And shall not he render to every Man according to his works?
A42952And then, How will those Mammonists remain in the gaul of Bitterness, and in the bond of Iniquity?
A42952And then, why may not these Conversions also be carried on both together?
A42952And who knows whether Your Majesty be not come to the Kingdom for such a Time as this?
A42952And why then must this above all other escape, this so black a Sin of Irreligion?
A42952And why were not those poor Barbarians of Jackatra( before mentioned) admitted thereto, when so earnestly importuned and besought by them?
A42952And, Hast thou not procured this unto thy self, saith our Prophet here in the Text, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord, when he led thee by the way?
A42952And, Hath a Nation changed their Gods, which are yet no Gods?
A42952And, when they thus see me upon taking away their Gods, it will be but a very sensless and unreasonable Question to demand, What aileth them?
A42952But of what Spirit must those then be that do neglect and hinder it?
A42952By what Authority or Law, he could do this to that or any other Person?
A42952For the next; I would fain know what kind of Merchants these are, who will be displeased upon this occasion?
A42952For, how can it be endured that a Nation once so famous for Zeal and Piety, should now at last become infamous for Irreligion?
A42952Foundation which they had before laid?
A42952Had it not been much more proper for them to have asked, What have we to do with their Land and Labour, or thus to captivate and oppress them?
A42952However since these do it, where is then the impracticableness thereof?
A42952Is not that true, touching the Negro''s not being admitted to Christianity?
A42952Lastly, Why should these be any more Hypocrites than themselves?
A42952Now if their Piety was thus rewarded; why should not we expect the same?
A42952Now to despise and hate, what is it but inwardly to renounce?
A42952Now, doth not this too strongly favour of Cain''s surly reply to God Almighty, demanding, Whether he were his Brothers Keeper?

A2779013 Thy way, O God, is holy: who is so great a God( as our God?)
A2779014 And why?
A2779014 Lord, why abhorest thou my soule: and hidest thou thy face from me?
A2779014 Why art thou so vexed, O my soule: and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A2779015 Wherefore should the wicked blaspheme God: while he doth say in his heart, Tush, thou God carest not for it?
A2779016 But unto the ungodly said God: Why dost thou preach my Laws, and takest my Covenant in thy mouth?
A2779016 Who will rise up with me against the wicked: or who will take my part against the evill doers?
A2779016 Why hop ye so ye high hills?
A2779017 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who is able to abide his frost?
A2779017 Thy righteousnesse, O God, is very high: and great things are they that thou hast done, O God, who is like unto thee?
A277902 For thou art the God of my strength, why hast thou put me from thee: and why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?
A277902 How long shall I seek counsell in my soul,& be so vexed in my heart: how long shall mine enemies triumph over me?
A277902 How long will yee give wrong iudgement: and accept the persons of the ungodly?
A277902 Mine eyes long sore for thy word: saying, O when wilt thou comfort me?
A277902 My soul is a thirst for God, yea, even for the living God: when shall I come to appeare before the presence of God?
A277902 O ye sonnes of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour: and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing?
A277902 Wherefore shall the heathen say: Where is now their God?
A277902 Who can expresse the noble acts of the Lord: or shew forth all his praise?
A2779020 And why?
A2779020 Wilt thou have any thing to do with the stoole of wickednesse: which imagineth mischiefe as a law?
A2779021 Do not I hate them O Lord, that hate thee: and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
A2779021 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and holden up our hands to any strange god: shall not God search it out?
A2779024 Wherefore hidest thou thy face: and forgettest our misery and trouble?
A277903 And why?
A277903 For the foundations will be cast down: and what hath the righteous done?
A277903 If thou Lord wilt be extream to mark what is done amisse: O Lord, who may abide it?
A277903 Lord, how long shall the ungodly: how long shall the ungodly triumph?
A277903 Lord, what is man that thou hast such respect unto him: or the sonne of man that thou so regardest him?
A277903 My soul is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou punish me?
A277903 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord: or who shall rise up in his holy place?
A2779031 For who is God but the Lord: or who hath any strength except our God?
A277904 For why?
A277904 How long shall all wicked doers speak so disdainfully: and make such proud boasting?
A277904 How many are the dayes of thy servant: when wilt thou be avenged of them that persecute me?
A277904 How shall we sing the Lords song: in a strange land?
A277904 O Lord God of hosts: how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth?
A277904 What is man that thou art mindfull of him: and the sonne of man that thou visitest him?
A277904 Which have said, With our tongue we will prevail: we are they that ought to speak, who is Lord over us?
A2779041 For why?
A2779045 Lord, how long wilt thou hide thy selfe, for ever: and shall thy wrath burne like fire?
A2779046 Oh remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men for nought?
A2779047 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death: and shall he deliver his soule from the hand of hell?
A2779048 Lord, where are thy old loving kindnesses: which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
A277905 Are not they without understanding that work wickednes: eating up my people as if they would eat bread?
A277905 For in death no man remembreth thee: and who will give thee thanks in the pit?
A277905 Lord, how long wilt thou be angry: shall thy iealousie burn like fire for ever?
A277905 Mine enemies speak evill of me: when shall he dye, and his name perish?
A277905 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest: and thou Iordan, that thou wast driuen backe?
A277905 Wherefore should I feare in the dayes of wickednesse: and when the wickednesse of my heels compasse me round about?
A277905 Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so high: and yet humbleth himselfe to behold the things that are in heauen and earth?
A277905 Why art thou so heavy, O my soul: and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A277905 Wilt thou be displeased at us for ever: and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another?
A277906 For who is he among the clouds: that shall be compared unto the Lord?
A277906 Whither shall I go then from thy Spirit: or whither shall I go then from thy presence?
A277906 Why art thou so full of heavinesse( O my soul:) and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A277906 Wilt thou not turn againe& quicken us: that thy people may reioyce in thee?
A277906 Yee mountaines, that yee skipped like rammes: and yee little hills like young sheep?
A277907 And what is he among the gods: that shall be like unto the Lord?
A277907 And why?
A277907 And why?
A277907 Behold, they speak with their mouth, and swords are in their lips: for who doth heare?
A277907 Haue I not remembred thee in my bed: and thought upon thee when I was waking?
A277907 Thou even thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when thou art angry?
A277907 Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever: and why?
A277907 Will the Lord absent himselfe for ever: and will he be no more intreated?
A277908 And why?
A277908 And why?
A277908 Have they no knowledge, that they are all such workers of mischief: eating up my people as it were bread?
A277908 Is his mercy cleane gone for ever: and is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore?
A277908 Take heed yee unwise among the peoyle: O yee fooles, when will yee understand?
A277908 Thou tellest my flittings, put my teares into thy bottle: are not these things noted in thy book?
A277909 Hath God forgotten to be gracious: and will he shut up his loving kindnes in displeasure?
A277909 He that planted the eare, shall he not heare: or he that made the eye, shall he not see?
A277909 What profit is there in my blond: when I go down to the p t?
A277909 Who will lead me into the strong city: who will bring me into Edom?
A27790ARe your mindes set upon righteousnesse, O ye congregation: and do ye iudge the thing that is right, O ye sonnes of men?
A27790But concerning him I must say, as S. Paul said of the Unbeleevers, what have I to doe with them that are without?
A27790EVENING PRAYER ▪ THe Lord is my light and my salvation, whom then shall I feare?
A27790HOw long wilt thou forget me( O Lord) for ever: how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
A27790How long, O Lord, how long shall we seek for rest and finde none?
A27790How shall we stand upright in the eternall scrutiny?
A27790IN the Lord put I my trust: how say ye then to my soul, that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?
A27790LOrd, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle: or who shall rest upon thy holy hill?
A27790O God wherefore art thou absent from us so long: why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture?
A27790VVHy boastest thou thy self, thou tyrant: that thou canst do mischief?
A27790VVHy do the heathen so furiously rage together: and why do the people imagine a vaine thing?
A27790VVHy standest thou so farre off( O Lord) and hidest thy face in the needfull time of trouble?
A27790Where is now thy God?
A27790Where shall we appeare in the day of judgment?
A27790the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom then shall I be afraid?
A48855A Thing that was certainly done, do I ask how it was possible?
A48855But do you remember how, and by whom it was preserved?
A48855But how was it preserved, at that time, when the Enemies Fleet were coming with full purpose to have burnt it in the Haven of Portsmouth?
A48855But how was that brought about?
A48855But if we are so at a loss for it, that either we see no Cause at all, or none that can reach the effect: What then?
A48855But was it never so since?
A48855But what hinder''d?
A48855Can any one think, that thinks at all, how these Just and great Interests could have been preserved?
A48855For what can they say to so many things that God only can do, and that all concurr''d together in this matter?
A48855If it be, did I say?
A48855Is it his meaning that w ● should love the Church of England, to which h ● has shewn so much love in so many Deliverances?
A48855Is it his meaning that we sh ● uld shew our concernedness for those things which he has sh ● wn himself so much concern''d for?
A48855Is it his meaning that we should be hi ● Instruments to help others, with the like Affection and Care as he has sh ● wn in helping us?
A48855Is it his meaning to set us up like a Light on a Hill, that we should be a Pattern to all other Nations?
A48855What greater Testimonies could he give to any Church, then he has done to ours, in those wonderful deliverances he has given us?
A48855What is it then that comes properly into our Question?
A48855What preserved us from this great Danger?
A48855What should be the Meaning of our most gracious God in all this?
A48855What should we do then, but let things go on in their Course?
A48855What works?
A48855When the Syrians saw their mighty armies overcome by a handful of Israelites; they knew it was not done by humane strength; what then?
A48855Who has been, or who was like to be, the better for this?
A48855how any one of these could have stood, any otherwise, then by his venturing himself as he did?
A48855or when he had gone so far, how he could Retreat afterwards, without taking the Government upon him?
A48855that all the Kings Enemies should be so charmed, that at his coming in, not a Dog should stir his Tongue against him?
A48855that those others likewise should give up their Interests, and smother their Prejudices and Disaffections?
A536991. Who are those persons in whom is this presence of Christ?
A5369912, 13, 14. and now where is their glory?
A53699And what Glory is there in that which almost constantly brings forth contray effects to its own proper end and intendment?
A53699And whence is it that this feeble generation shall be as a Lion?
A53699As to the persons in themselves considered, the application is easie unto this Assembly: Are you not the remnant, the escaping of England?
A53699But how shall we do it?
A53699But it will be said secondly, we are still at a losse; for what woful divisions are there amongst this gegeneration of professors?
A53699But what shall this remnant do?
A53699Christ was in the pursuit of the collection of his people from their dispersion: what seeks he after; what looks he for?
A53699Is it in their wisdome and counsel, their understanding for the ordering of their affairs?
A53699Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
A53699Is that their glory?
A53699There is no delivery from him: No, but what if there be a strong combination of many against him, will he not cease and give over?
A53699This is their Glory or they have none; is it in their number, that they are great, many, and populous?
A53699Why what if he be provoked?
A53699Would it not hasten your destruction, and increase your account?
A53699are they such as professe indeed Religion, but neglect all Rules of righteousnesse; that would be accounted Godly, but care not to be honest?
A53699he is gone up from the prey, he stoopeth down, he coucheth as a Lion and as an old Lion, who shall rouse him up?
A53699what if he be stirred up?
A44938And what?
A44938But what?
A44938Come to particulars, I would know when Covetousness will think it self sufficiently crammed and served?
A44938Disturbers of the peace of his Kingdom?
A44938Do we not know, that God hath many other Arrows in his Quiver, as quickly to be drawn?
A44938Enmity against God, deicidium( in will, though not in effect:) What but this is the great make- bate between God and his people?
A44938For are lusts ever to be fulfill''d and satiated?
A44938Is it a scruple to put as many into our prayers, as our Lord Christ did own dying for?
A44938Is this the last mischief of it?
A44938Many other ways to ease and avenge himself of his Adversaries?
A44938Of his Council, of his Houshold, of his own Loins?
A44938Or are we afraid, lest the many prepared mansions in Heaven should be over- filled, though there were as many blessed Saints as Men?
A44938Plotters against his Person?
A44938Should not I set against that( with all animosity) which sets so hard against thee, and makes thee set thy face so severely against men?
A44938The disquieter, as I may say, and griever of his Spirit?
A44938This is not iniquum petere, but is it not in auditum petere?
A44938To raise a Paroxisme of grief and indignation in the holy Apostle?
A44938Upon a Church, what disorders will it not bring?
A44938VVhat then remains, but that it be shortned and cut off, that a Providential violence be used upon it?
A44938VVhen will Schism sit down, as thinking it hath made the rupture wide enough in the Garment of Christ?
A44938We will dispute no longer in the Schools, whether sin be a meer Privation?
A44938What an incredible change have three days made of the Metropolis of England, and most famous Emporium of Christendom?
A44938What effects will it not have upon Nature it self?
A44938Whether it hath any Positive Entity?
A44938Wickedness to come to an end?
A44938Will Lust think it hath had gratification enough, so long as there is any Marrow left in the bones?
A44938do we find David here devoutly cursing his Enemies on his knees?
A44938how did people fall then by the righteous, but dreadful hand of God, as leaves beaten down by a vehemet wind?
A44938or is it not ours?
A44938or when should these things be?
A44938or whether ever it shall recover?
A44938or, whether there will be any end at all?
A44938to make a zealously affected Ezra to rend his Garment, and his Mantle; to pluck off the hair of his head, and of his beard?
A44938upon every Element?
A44938what dismal and amazing changes will this make?
A44938what evil Angels or Asmodei will it not send?
A44938what the end of wickedness will be?
A44938when it hath corrupted and worn out his miserable body, and brought him to the grave?
A44938with false, treacherous Friends?
A44938— Tantaene animis Coelestibus Irae?
A56228* neither subsist, but being united?
A56228Alasse, why should the head and members have any civil contestations, since both must perish if divided?
A56228And sheweth mercy to his anointed;( but who are they?)
A56228Did not thy father eat and drink,& do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
A56228God thus speaks to K. Iehoiakim, Shalt thou raign because thou closest thy self in Cedar?
A56228If any Court- Chaplaine here demand; how I prove beleeving Subjects fearing God, to be his anoynted, as wel as Kings or P ● iests?
A45500''T is the character of the wicked to say, Who is Lord over us?
A45500''t is thy worship, and is it iniquity to Worship God?
A455003. oh my People, what have I done unto thee, and wherein have I wearied thee?
A45500And indeed what does Religion teach you if it does not teach you this piece of morality?
A45500And these things are good for others too; how advantagious and beneficial to the World are Justice and Mercy?
A45500And what can more commend it to us to be the Book of our daily Converse and Meditation?
A45500Be as just in your word, as true to your promise, as exact in your dealings as you would have others to be?
A45500But on the contrary does not the whole of my proceedings with you testifie for me?
A45500Did the Heathens of old, and do they still at this day know it and art thou a stranger to it?
A45500He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good, and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God?
A45500Hereupon they move the Prophet with this Question, Wherewithal shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A45500I shall close this with that sentence of the Scribe, Mark 12. Who having asked our Lord, Which is the first commandment of all?
A45500If therefore the Question be in what way is the justice of God satisfied for sin?
A45500Is it such a Fast that I have chosen?
A45500Is it to how down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
A45500Is that good that is amiable and lovely?
A45500Is that good that is pleasant and delightful?
A45500Or is that good that is profitable?
A45500Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul?
A45500Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
A45500To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?
A45500What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul?
A45500What shall we do to avert them?
A45500What then is the Fast that God has chosen?
A45500What?
A45500Whereas many say, Who will shew us good?
A45500Who does not see what need there is of Fasting, of Prayer and Humbling our selves before the Lord?
A45500and again, Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice?
A45500are not your ways unequal?
A45500can you mend your selves by changing your Lord?
A45500hast thou not requir''d these things?
A45500hath the Lord as great delight in sacrifices as in obedience?
A45500have I been unmindful of you or wanting to do you good?
A45500how much do they conduce to the good order of it?
A45500how sweet are the influences that they diffuse amongst all persons?
A45500in what way and upon what account is God reconcil''d to Sinners?
A45500oh house of Israel, are not my ways equal?
A45500or wherein can you fault my conduct and providence towards you?
A45500q. d. what have I commanded you, that you should count my service a Burden?
A45500saith the Lord; I am full of burnt offerings,& c, To what purpose, Lord?
A45500shall I count them pure with the wicked balances and with the bag of deceitful weights?
A45500what so lovely as ho liness?
A45500who is not the better for them?
A45500who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
A45500wilt thou call this a Fast, and an acceptable day unto the Lord?
A57133And why should I not trust him, as well in his Covenant of Grace as of Nature?
A57133I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, is there any thing too hard for me?
A57133If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these dayes, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes, saith the Lord of Hosts?
A57133Is any thing too hard for the Lord?
A57133can he give bread also and provide flesh for his people?
A57133why should I not believe that that power which quickens dead corn, can quicken dead men, and can provide as well for my salvation as for my nature?
A4872535. Who, sayes he, shall separate us from the love of Christ?
A48725And how can Divine Praises be celebrated by death, which puts all the Organs and Instruments of Speech out of tune?
A48725And tell me now, O impatient soul, whoever thou art, what reason hast thou to take Gods dealings unkindely?
A48725And what are we then, that we should repine, and murmur, and think our selves hardly dealt with?
A48725And* a wounded grieved spirit who can bear?
A48725Good King Hezekiah in bitterness?
A48725I have been afflicted; God has deliver''d me; I praise him for it: how?
A48725I have been exercised with grievous sickness; God has visited me with his loving kindeness: I come to return him due praise for his goodness: how?
A48725If God so freely love us, how ought we to love one another, and to help one another with all kinde of courtesie and assistance?
A48725Now, as the Syriack brings it in, Hezekiah had said, What is the sign, that I shall go to the house of the Lord?
A48725O Lord, how manifold are thy works?
A48725Shall we not much more do so to God?
A48725This was Satan''s argument,* Doth Job serve God for nought?
A48725What is man, that thou art so mindful of him?
A48725What then?
A48725Who?
A48725Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
A48725Why, learned Apostle, does not God take care of Oxen?
A48725and what care are we oblig''d to in our walking, when we consider that All our life- time we walk upon the pit- brink?
A48725and why art thou disquieted within me?
A48725be after such a bitter sickness?
A48725hands: for what use of patience in time of health and prosperity?
A48725how soon are the pains and throws of Childe- birth forgotten for joy when the Man- childe is once born into the world?
A48725or the son of man that thou shouldst so regard us?
A48725or the son of man, that thou visitest him, that thou makest any account of him?
A48725shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
A48725sick, and that unto death?
A48725what, that may be lookt upon, as a fit object of Divine Love?
A48856And do we not keep that Festival ever since?
A48856And since that time, have we not seen the Restauration of the Royal Family?
A48856And so in this Text, did you Fast to me, even to me?
A48856Are not our Adulteries more Impudent?
A48856Are we not now worse than ever?
A48856But even, from the Beginning of that Time, might not God well say, Was it to me, even to me?
A48856But was that all?
A48856But what is an Hundred and Fifty Years, to the continuance of these Fasts in my Text?
A48856But what was the Will of God concerning this matter?
A48856But what?
A48856By his Question, Was it to me that you fasted?
A48856Did he not do it, in taking away our Blessed QUEEN from us?
A48856Do we not behave our selves as if we had been Delivered for these Things?
A48856How can we expect, but that God should now turn his Hand upon us?
A48856How far are we from that?
A48856Is not our Luxury more extravagant?
A48856Is there any evil in the Land, and the Lord hath not done it?
A48856Of any other Fast he says, who required this at your hands?
A48856Our Drinking more Profligate?
A48856Our Provocations higher than ever?
A48856Our Swearing and Cursing more Bold?
A48856That he should strike us down lower, that he should wound us deeper, than ever?
A48856They say, What need is there of this for a thing that was done so long ago?
A48856Tho''you have all this while kept these Fasts, and did well in it, was it well to keep them so as you have done?
A48856Was it, that they should keep these Fasts no longer?
A48856Was not our Fast, Then, turned literally into Festival?
A48856Whence it came?
A48856Where was the fault then?
A48856Who would not have expected that we should have mended upon it exceedingly?
A48856Your Fasting hath been no more to me, than your eating and drinking hath been; when you did eat, and when you did drink, was is not to your selves?
A48856did he place Religion in this?
A48856saith the Prophet?
A52275But what might Reuben have said, not only in excuse, but even in commendation of himself?
A52275Can we imagine, that such an unnatural course as this should be taken against an innocent Brother?
A52275Can you aggravate your Sin from your Treachery, who when he asked Food, did with semblance of Love, give him as bad as a Serpent or a Scorpion?
A52275Can you by your self sufficiently aggravate the Crime from your destroying your Husbands Body, and also( as''t is to be fear''d) his very Soul?
A52275Can you form right Notions of the Nature of Murder?
A52275I then inquired of her, Who the deceased Person was?
A52275Ridgeway threaten the Person deceased?
A52275She said, she used these words: So, have you not now made good your threatning words against John King?
A52275Their Heart becomes deceitful above measure, and desperately wicked; who can know it?
A52275They wipe their bloody mouths, wherewith they have suckt the blood of their Brethren, and cry, Am I not innocent?
A52275What do you apprehend of your self and your sad condition?
A52275What, though they can not or will not( as they ought) pray for themselves?
A52275What, though they do not rightly pity themselves?
A52275Yet further; Can you, during your silence and obstinacy, counsel your self in all the methods of an effectual Repentance, and saving Faith?
A455422 What a prevailing motive ought this to be against all sin, especially Idolatry?
A45542And now if any aske when, or how this was verified?
A45542But in what posture is the people?
A45542But is there not yet a secret veine inwardly bleeding, and though the bloudy issue be stopt, are we not still sick of a Consumption?
A45542But to come neerer to these days: Is not the Bound still removed in Families, City, Countrey, yea, the whole Kingdom?
A45542But was this only the Princes fault?
A45542But what is the offence that these great Delinquents are charged withall?
A45542But what, may some say, is oppression no sin?
A45542Consider, I beseech you, is not God as a moth to many Countries, by the quartering of an Army, who, though friends yet are wasting?
A45542Divine wrath is not lessened, but augmented by opposition: so true is that of the Psalmist, Who may stand in thy sight when thou art angry?

A19568Then weigh with me these three particulars: 1 What it is to stumble?
A19568Though we could not perceive that he knew, GOD( to comfort) might hee not be knowne of God?
A19568Was not Abraham our Father justified by workes?
A19568What an hell will it be to you to saile by, before you come to hell, if ye repent not, and forsake not your sins?
A19568What an hell will this be to you before you come to hell, if you repent not?
A19568What are wee that we should sit in GOD''s chaire?
A19568What is all the world if wee could graspe it into an handfull?
A19568What is that to me?
A19568What is the way of the wicked?
A19568What matters it then to offend such, so they may please God?
A19568What now is to bee done, but that you see your wickednesse, and amend all?
A19568What shall I say to you Young men?
A19568Where are their companions now?
A19568Wherefore doe you harden your hearts as the Aegyptians and Pharaoh?
A19568Who knowes whether God may leave a blessing behind?
A19568Why it is darknesse?
A19568Why then will they not try what they can doe in vertue?
A19568Why will they neglect CHRISTS hand, which is put under to helpe?
A19568Why will they not be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might, that they may be able to doe all things through him that helpeth them?
A19568Will they more impotently stumble at the despaire of Gods mercy?
A19568Will ye still goe on in the wayes of sinne, though ye can not prosper?
A19568Will yee not take heed lest lesse policy make you to fall, as Eve fell, which was full of bitternesse to her and hers?
A19568Will yee not thinke of to day, while it is called to day?
A19568Will you be dismaied in any trouble, or cast off your confidence, as if Gods hand were tyed up now more than in those dayes?
A19568Will you say hee is my sweet Saviour still?
A19568Will you yet neglect so great salvation?
A19568Ye goe on in sinne, and thrive, and are merry, and what evill can come?
A19568Yea, but are they not deceived in the worke of it?
A19568You will say, They are in darknesse, how then can they spie such a hole in the coat of him that is better than themselves?
A19568eng Roger, William, d. 1636?
A19568what if I die?
A19568what if divine Iustice seaze upon mee?
A19568what is now to bee done?
A19568what shall become of me then?
A59874and by what right a particular Prince can challenge this Authority?
A08277A fountaine bringeth not forth bitter water and sweet: How then Lord can I bring forth true repentance out of a corrupt heart, as it is corrupt?
A08277Alas, to discouer my selfe, when I can not hide my selfe from thee?
A08277And what is this hiding of his Saints, but his continuall watchfulnesse ouer them, and his prouidence in keeping and defending them?
A08277But sith it pleaseth thee to call me, though vnworthy, and to accept me as worthy; how can I but giue all diligence to attend thy call?
A08277By nature, Lord, I sinne: How can I by the same sinfull part, repent of that wherein nature it selfe delighteth?
A08277Did father or mother preserue him?
A08277Doth he helpe thee or releeue thee?
A08277For if he haue giuen his Sonne to die for our sinnes, how should he not with him giue vs all things to enioy?
A08277For what booteth it me to come into thy house with deafe eares, not to heare thee?
A08277For who hath power, Lord, by his owne corrupt nature to repent?
A08277Hast thou no more blessings for thy children?
A08277Haue I so deepely offended thee, that neither my repentance can pacifie thee?
A08277He is God, and none besides; he is mighty, and none else; Why then should we faint in any troubles?
A08277How can he but hide his face, and as it were, cast them away in his displeasure that neuer séeke him or serue him?
A08277How can hee but hide his face from such?
A08277How can hee looke vpon them in loue that leaue him?
A08277How can it be, but he must cast away such in his displeasure?
A08277How could I but haue fainted, but that I still beleeued to bee partaker of thy goodnesse and mercy in my troubles?
A08277How much lesse, the glory of the most vnspeakable beauty of y e face of y e most high?
A08277How much more shall the God of all glory, our heauenly Father, be a glory to vs his children?
A08277How shall I get mony to supply my wants?
A08277How sottish then are these men that will giue entertainment at the first to such seruants, as at last shall become their masters?
A08277How then can hee bee truly vnderstood what hée speakes?
A08277How then can they say, whom shall I feare?
A08277Hée my Lord in Christ, my light and my saluation, hath conquered both Satan and Hell, what néed I feare?
A08277If I haue Iehouah on my side, what can man doe vnto me?
A08277If he take away this life, he hath prouided for me a better and permanent: whom or what shall I be afraid of then?
A08277If therefore a man fall into any of these dominant sinnes, and liue in it, what an aduantage is it vnto his enemies?
A08277If thou obserue the selfe- deseruings of the best men, and deale with them accordingly, who can see thy face and liue?
A08277Ioseph likewise in his captiuity and imprisonment, shall wee thinke that hée cried not vnto the Lord for deliuery, and that instantly?
A08277Is thy mercy come to an end?
A08277Lord( saith Dauid) who shall dwell in thy Tabernacle?
A08277Lord, what shall I say to excuse me?
A08277Lord, what were Abraham, Izaak, Iaacob, Iob, Noah, Lot, Moses, Eliah, or Dauid, though a man chosen after thine owne heart?
A08277Many good men are aduanced to honor and office; To what end?
A08277Nay, that séeke him not with a pure heart, and that continually?
A08277Norden, John, 1548- 1625?
A08277Norden, John, 1548- 1625?
A08277O fearefull estate, yet not a few liue in this miserable seruility; and doth not that enemy Satan triumph to obserue his vassals thus subiected?
A08277O wretch that I am, Why doe I thus reason with thee?
A08277Of what estate, condition, or quality soeuer?
A08277Or what is the force of Princes, when thou takest part against them in the behalfe of them whom thou wilt defend?
A08277Secret false combinations of enemies accompanied with false witnesses, who can withstand, or auoid?
A08277Shall I be afraid of Hell or Satan?
A08277Shall I teach thee what thou shouldest doe?
A08277Shall we thinke to enioy his glory, and shall we suffer none of his disgrace?
A08277Shall wée then that haue the like and the same benefit by the death of Christ, be ashamed of his Crosse?
A08277Should I come into thy presence, O most powerfull and holy Lord God, in the bespotted garments of mine owne corruptions?
A08277Should I stand consulting with flesh and bloud, whether I should seeke thy face and liue; or remaine out of thy fauour, and perish eternally?
A08277Should I then feare, though I be enuironed with enemies?
A08277The Lord high& mighty, he is the strength of my life; nay, he is to mee life it selfe, who then or what can without him force my death?
A08277The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare?
A08277The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare?
A08277The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I bee afraid?
A08277WHat man is he that liueth,& is frée from enemies?
A08277Was it not the prouidence of God that saued him?
A08277Was not Ioseph cast into a pit by his Brethren, intending hée should haue there perished?
A08277We are his members, and he is our head, and shall our head suffer and wée liue at ease?
A08277We being culpable of a thousand sinnes against him, and yet hath fréed vs from the guilt and punishment of all?
A08277What King can encounter thee, or take thy children out of thy hands?
A08277What is then meant by the séeking of the face of God?
A08277What shall I bring vnto thee to appease thee?
A08277What should then hinder our Prayer to God in our owne necessities and dangers?
A08277What then is man?
A08277When a man loseth father and mother, being left naked and destitute of helpe, is it not a great tentation?
A08277Who dare to seeke thy face as of himselfe worthy?
A08277Who then can complaine in whatsoeuer sharpe affliction?
A08277Who tooke care of him?
A08277Who tooke him into protection?
A08277Why art thou cast downe O my soule( saith Dauid in his troubles) and so vnquiet within mee?
A08277Why did Dauid say vnto thee, hearken?
A08277Why should wee bee daunted, though enemies rise vp against vs?
A08277Why then should I say vnto thee, hearken?
A08277Why therefore should we feare or repine against trouble, séeing it is so necessary for vs?
A08277am I able to ouer- rule thee with my words?
A08277and doth he not stirre vp enemies to vpbraid them?
A08277and finally, doth hee not laugh at their destruction?
A08277and who shall rest in thy holy Mountaine?
A08277did he not breake the fetters, and opened he not the very iron gates, and cast the watchmen in a slumber to fetch Peter out of prison?
A08277did he not giue Ioseph and Paul fauour with their Jailors?
A08277mute, and not be able to speake vnto thee?
A08277nay, should I feare though I were in penury and want?
A08277nor my faithfull prayers preuaile with thee?
A08277of whom or of what then may the faithfull bee afraid?
A08277of whom shall I bee afraid?
A08277some to mocke and scorne them?
A08277some to reproach and reuile them?
A08277stand thou on my side, and then of whom should I be afraid?
A08277that is, who shall worthily enter into thy holy Temple and behold thy beauty?
A08277the Lord is the streng ● h of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
A08277the mediation of thy Sonne reconcile thee?
A08277though I were imprisoned for the constant profession of Christs truth?
A08277though I were in distresse?
A08277to pray vnto thee when thou seemest to refuse to heare me?
A08277was not God alone he that preserued him?
A08277what crosses, what troubles, what afflictions, what threats of tyrants can make Gods children afraid?
A08277whose dwelling is in the heauens, and whose power is ouer all his works in heauen and earth?
A08277without attention, to vnderstand thee?
A08277would God we had died in the land of Aegyt, or in this Wildernesse: would God wee were dead, were it not better for vs to turne into Aegypt?
A2780510 Doest thou shew wonders among the dead: or shall the dead rise up again and praise thee?
A2780510 Hast thou not cast us out, O God: wilt not thou, O God, goe out with our hosts?
A2780510 Or he that nurtureth the heathen: it is he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he punish?
A2780510 Shall the dust give thanks unto thee: or shall it declare thy truth?
A2780510 Wherefore do the heathen say: Where is now their God?
A2780510 Who will lead me into the strong city: and who will bring me into Edom?
A2780511 For why?
A2780511 Hast not thou forsaken us, O God: and wilt not thou, O God, goe forth with our hosts?
A2780511 I will say unto the God of my strength, Why hast thou forgotten me: why goe I thus heavily while the enemy oppresseth me?
A2780511 O God, how long shall the adversary do this dishonour: how long shall the enemy blaspheme thy name, for ever?
A2780511 Shall thy loving kindnesse be shewed in the grave: or thy faithfulnesse in destruction?
A2780511 Tush( say they) how should God perceive it: is there knowledge in the most Highest?
A2780511 What reward shall I give unto the Lord: for all the benefits that he hath done unto me?
A2780512 For the sin of their mouth, and for the words of their lips, they shall be taken in their pride: and why?
A2780512 Shall thy wondrous works be known in the dark: and thy righteousnesse in the land where all things are forgotten?
A2780512 Who can tell how oft he offendeth?
A2780512 Why hast thou then broken down her hedge: that all they that goe by, pluck off her grapes?
A2780512 Why withdrawest thou thy hand: why pluckest not thou thy right hand out of thy bosome to consume the ● nemy?
A2780513 Namely, while they say dayly unto me: Where is now thy God?
A2780513 Thinkest thou that I will eat buls flesh: and drink the bloud of goats?
A2780513 Thy way, O God, is holy: who is so great a God( as our God?)
A2780514 And why?
A2780514 Lord, why abhorrest thou my soul: and hidest thou thy face from me?
A2780514 Wherefore should the wicked blaspheme God: while he doth say in his heart, Tush, thou God carest not for it?
A2780514 Why art thou so vexed, O my soul: and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A2780516 But unto the ungodly said God: Why dost thou preach my Laws, and takest my Covenant in thy mouth?
A2780516 Who will rise up with me against the wicked: or who will take my part against the evill doers?
A2780516 Why hop ye so ye high hils?
A2780517 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who is able to abide his frost?
A2780517 Thy righteousnesse, O God, is very high: and great things are they that thou hast done, O God, who is like unto thee?
A278052 For thou art the God of my strength, why hast thou put me from thee: and why goe I so heavily while the enemy oppresseth me?
A278052 How long shall I seek counsell in my soul, and be so vexed in my heart: how long shall mine enemies triumph over me?
A278052 How long will ye give wrong judgement: and accept the persons of the ungodly?
A278052 Mine eyes long sore for thy word: saying, O when wilt thou comfort me?
A278052 My soul is a thirst for God, yea, even for the living God: when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
A278052 O ye sonnes of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour: and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing?
A278052 Wherefore shall the heathen say: Where is now their God?
A278052 Who can expresse the noble acts of the Lord: or shew forth all his praise?
A2780520 And why?
A2780520 They spake against God, also, saying: Shall God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
A2780520 Wilt thou have any thing to doe with the stoole of wickednesse: which imagineth mischief as a law?
A2780521 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee: and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
A2780521 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and holden up our hands to any strange God: shall not God search it out?
A2780524 Wherefore hidest thou thy face: and forgettest our misery and trouble?
A278053 And why?
A278053 For the foundations will bee cast down: and what hath the righteous done?
A278053 If thou Lord wilt be extream to mark what is done amisse: O Lord, who may abide it?
A278053 Lord, how long shall the ungodly: how long shall the ungodly triumph?
A278053 Lord, what is man that thou hast such respect unto him: or the son of man that thou so regardest him?
A278053 My soul is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou punish me?
A278053 My tears have been my meat day and night: while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God?
A278053 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord: or who shall rise up in his holy place?
A2780531 For who is God but the Lord: or who hath any strength except our God?
A278054 For why?
A278054 How long shall all wicked doers speak so disdainfully: and make such proud boasting?
A278054 How many are the dayes of thy servant: when wilt thou be avenged of them that persecute me?
A278054 How shall wee sing the Lords song: in a strange land?
A278054 O Lord God of hosts: how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth?
A278054 What is man that thou art mindfull of him: and the son of man that thou visitest him?
A278054 Which have said, With our tongue we will prevail: we are they that ought to speak, who is Lord over us?
A2780541 For why?
A2780545 Lord, how long wilt thou hide thy self, for ever: and shall thy wrath burn like fire?
A2780546 Oh remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men for nought?
A2780547 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death: and shall he deliver his soul from the hand of hell?
A2780548 Lord, where are thy old loving kindnesses: which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
A278055 Are not they without understanding that work wickednesse: eating up my people as if they would eat bread?
A278055 For in death no man remembreth thee: and who will give thee thanks in the pit?
A278055 Lord, how long wilt thou be angry: shall thy jealousie burn like fire for ever?
A278055 Mine enemies speak evill of me: when shall he dye, and his name perish?
A278055 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest: and thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
A278055 Wherefore should I fear in the days of wickednesse: and when the wickednesse of my heels compasse me round about?
A278055 Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so high: and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?
A278055 Why art thou so heavy, O my soul: and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A278055 Wilt thou be displeased at us for ever: and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another?
A278056 For who is he among the clouds: that shall be compared unto the Lord?
A278056 There be many that say: Who will shew us any good?
A278056 Whither shall I go then from thy Spirit: or whither shall I go then from thy presence?
A278056 Why art thou so full of heavinesse( O my soul:) and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A278056 Wilt thou not turn again and quicken us: that thy people may rejoyce in thee?
A278056 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams: and yee little hils like young sheep?
A278057 And what is he among the gods: that shall be like unto the Lord?
A278057 And why?
A278057 And why?
A278057 Behold, they speak with their mouth, and swords are in their lips: for who doth hear?
A278057 Have I not remembred thee in my bed: and thought upon thee when I was waking?
A278057 Thou, even thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when thou art angry?
A278057 Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever: and why?
A278057 Will the Lord absent himself for ever: and will hee be no more intreated?
A278058 And why?
A278058 Any why?
A278058 Have they no knowledge, that they are all such workers of mischief: eating up my people as it were bread?
A278058 Is his mercy clean gone for ever: and is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore?
A278058 Take heed ye unwise among the people: O ye fools, when will ye understan ●?
A278058 Thou tell ● st my flittings, put my tears into thy bottle: are not these things noted in thy book?
A278059 Hath God forgotten to be gracious: and will he shut up his loving kindnesse in displeasure?
A278059 He that planted the eare, shall he not heare: or hee that made the eye, shall he not see?
A278059 What profit is there in my bloud: when I go down to the pit?
A278059 Who will lead me into the strong city: who will bring me into Edom?
A27805ARE your minds set upon righteousnesse, O ye congregation: and doe ye judge the thing that is right, O ye sons of men?
A27805But concerning him I must say, as S. Paul said of the unbeleevers, What have I to doe with them that are without?
A27805HOw long wilt thou forget me( O Lord) for ever: how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
A27805Have pity on me now in the time of mercy, and condemne me not when thou commest to judgement, for what profit is there in my bloud?
A27805How long, O Lord, how long shall we seek for rest and finde none?
A27805How shall we stand upright in the eternall scrutiny?
A27805IN the Lord put I my trust: how say ye then to my soul, that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?
A27805LOrd, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle: or who shall rest upon thy holy hill?
A27805Lord, I tremble when I remember that sad truth, If the righteous scarcely be saved, where then shall the wicked and the ungodly appear?
A27805Lord, what is man that thou art mindfull of him: and the son of man that thou so regardest him?
A27805MY God, my God,( look upon me) why hast thou forsaken me: and art so farre from my health, and from the words of my complaint?
A27805O God wherefore art thou absent from us so long: why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture?
A27805O just and dear God, where shall I appear?
A27805Psalme ad verbum, saith the Tradition of the Church, and that he began it, saith the Scripture, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A27805THe Lord is my light and my salvation, whom then shall I fear?
A27805Thy way, O God, is holy: who is so great a God as our God?
A27805WHy boastest thou thy self, thou ● yrant: that thou canst doe mischief?
A27805WHy doe the heathen so furiously rage together: and why do the people imagine a vain thing?
A27805WHy standest thou so farre off( O Lord:) and hidest thy face in the needfull time of trouble?
A27805Where shall we appear in the day of Judgement?
A27805the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom then shall I be afraid?
A27805who shall plead for me that am so loaden with impurities, with vanity, with ingratitude, with malice, and the terrors of an affrighting conscience?
A59552But you will say, if Men be such Slaves to their Thoughts, and are thus necessarily passive under them, Where is the Freedom of Thought?
A59552Or for a Man that desires to be well thought of, not to entertain some vanity of Imagination, when he hears himself commended or flatter''d?
A59552What is the Meaning of that Phrase?
A59552What now is to be said to this?
A48835And how can we tell, when he doth, or doth not, that which is in his Power secretly to do or not to do?
A48835And the King lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?
A48835And what Cordial, what Refection to support him under all this?
A48835And what can do that, more, than the Terror of such an Example?
A48835And why not?
A48835And why so?
A48835But how shall we excuse them, that hold it Lawful to do such things?
A48835But why so?
A48835Could he make no shift for himself?
A48835For whose Interest was it?
A48835He asketh him, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my Fathers Concubines?
A48835How many Lies were you told the mean while, to hide it from you?
A48835How many comfortless hours did he reckon in that merciless Trap where they kept him?
A48835How many deaths have I suffered before Death came to relieve me?
A48835How many insulting words, how many reproaches did he hear?
A48835How many more thousands in Ireland in our Memory?
A48835How many things did I endure e''re they brought me to this?
A48835How much good might one do so qualified as he was, so disposed, so resolved, so verst in Business?
A48835How much more good might he have done, if he had lived to those Years?
A48835If so, what should hinder these men from r ● ising all those Reports of this Person?
A48835If they are speculatively true, why then are they not to be practised?
A48835In the Plague- time, who would have done as he did?
A48835Is not this a fair proof of your Religion?
A48835It was Cassius''s word, Cui bono?
A48835Now who that knows what Informations our Friend had against them, can doubt but they might lawfully kill him by these Doctrines?
A48835Since we know not who they are that were the Authors of this Wickedness, at least can we find who they are that are not willing we should know it?
A48835The King Lamented over ABNER, and said, Died Abner as a Fool dieth?
A48835Was it not a worthy Prize to get such a one into their hands?
A48835What Racks, what Bodily tortures might he probably suffer?
A48835What business have they for him?
A48835What have they not suffered, who have had their Lot in Popish Countries?
A48835What, would none miss his Band, or take notice of his clean Shoes?
A48835Where can they shew the like in Countries of our Religion?
A48835Who knows, but, in the end, it may prove a fatal blow to themselves?
A48835Why couldst thou not fight?
A48835Would none look for the effusion of Blood, or take notice of that which hindred it, that so manifest Coagulation?
A48835nor thy feet put in Fetters, why couldst thou not run away?
A48835without that, What have those poor men suffered?
A58499But how does it appear that they are more Subservient to this end than the old Version?
A58499But why should the Vindicator think that the new Version is more subservient to the Advancement of Piety and Devotion than the old?
A58499Must we destroy the old Frame, and have a new Bible?
A58499What then?
A58499What then?
A58499What, is it because of the venerable Names of Mr. Brady and Mr. Tate, the celebrated Authors of the new Performance?
A58499Where then, Good Mr. Vindicator, is the Royal Injunction, or any Thing like it?
A48851And Now, what shall we render to him, for being thus on our side?
A48851And shall we tempt God, by doing nothing to secure our selves against them?
A48851But can all others say the same, that call themselves Churches of Christ?
A48851But do I ask that?
A48851But now the question is, Who shall go?
A48851But so the thing be done, what matter is it, which way God uses?
A48851But then what think you of the Wars in the Holy- land?
A48851But what matter is it for such a one as me?
A48851But what shall we do towards our safety?
A48851But what would they be, if they were in Power?
A48851But who can number the poor Christians that lost their lives by it?
A48851Can not be oblige them to be quiet?
A48851Can not we intreat them?
A48851How are we bound to praise his name, for preserving us so many times since?
A48851How dividing them?
A48851I do not charge all of that Religion with this Action:( Religion do I call it?
A48851If they will be so, who can help it?
A48851If thou hadst not been on our side, what had become of us, when men rose up against us, to swallow us up quick?
A48851Men?
A48851Nay to Papists themselves?
A48851No?
A48851No?
A48851Now may Israel say, with mouth and heart; privately, and in the Congregation; If the Lord had not been on our side, what would have become of us?
A48851She hath suffered more than she can well bear; and must she suffer still?
A48851Was there ever so generous a revenge?
A48851What a Chaos it would have made?
A48851What a Tragical day to every thing but Popery?
A48851What a thunderclap had it been, to this Nation, to this Church, to this Kingdom?
A48851What an Earthquake it would have been?
A48851What out- rages did they commit?
A48851What think you of those Slaughters of the Moors in Spain?
A48851Who would ever suspect men of such a wickedness?
A48851Why should you not be gone, and free her from her fears?
A48851With what folly and fury did they break out of the Church?
A48851With what insolence and perverseness did they behave themselves towards it?
A48851and those Butcheries of Jews in all Countries before the Reformation?
A48851how are we bound to thank God, that he was on our side on this day?
A48851must she still be in fear for your sakes?
A48851nay, what did they not commit?
A48851or were they so, when they had power in their hands?
A48851so much Cruelty requited with so much Clemency?
A48851to murder a whole Nation together, in their Representative then met in Parliament?
A48851to murder the innocent hopes of that Royal Family?
A48851to murder their King, that had been so gentle and easie to them?
A48851when I know what this August Assembly hath judged?
A424982 How must we all follow Peace?
A424982 Who?
A424983 To whom?
A424983 Why should we follow Peace with all men?
A424984 Wherefore must we thus follow Holinesse?
A424985 Is any thing more unreasonable, than for a man to sweare gratis?
A42498Account must be given for idle words; how much more for impious, lying and pernicious?
A42498And S. Paul, What fellowship hath light with darknesse?
A42498Are these the expressions of reasonable minds?
A42498Are they not without understanding that work wickednesse?
A42498As the eye to the body, so is the Mind to the man; if it bee darkned, how great is that darknesse?
A42498But how must it bee executed?
A42498But who is my Neighbour?
A42498But who?
A42498Canst thou be too fit for heaven, or too far from sin and hell?
A42498Christ refuseth this employment, because hee had no Commission from humane power: Who made me a Iudge?
A42498Doe you think to serve him by sinning against him, or please him by offering an abomination?
A42498Else what need all this state, solemnity, expense and trouble?
A42498Hic animus atque hae sunt generosi Principis Artes?
A42498How many Gods did they invent?
A42498How many renewed yeares, and dayes, and mercies shall upbraid our unrenewed hearts, and minds, and lives?
A42498How many things ridiculous, and to be laughed at?
A42498How many young men are cut off in their proffers and essayes to amend their minds and manners?
A42498How much more worthy of our serious consideration and sorrow, are the Decayes and Dilapidations of these goodly structures, our selves?
A42498If there bee no God, how vaine then are their violent expressions, their frequent and passionate swearings?
A42498If to deny roundly, who shall be guilty?
A42498It will bee little comfort at last to dye with those words, Quantus Artifex pereo?
A42498Quid enim tam iniquum, quàm ut desertori boni bene sit?
A42498S. Chrysostomes advice is good:{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}: hast thou sinned?
A42498The minds improvement is the maine, which God, Christ, and Religion intend in us; and shall wee bee incurious?
A42498The second thing is, who must follow it?
A42498They that refuse to heare and obey when mercy charmes and entreats, what voyce can they expect, but that of Justice, threatning and revenging?
A42498To what purpose is finding out of true judgement, if you doe not, dare not speake out?
A42498WEe have seene the manner of the Execution; but where must this be done?
A42498What agreement hath light and darknesse, God and Beliall?
A42498What are Lawes in your books or brests, if not put in execution?
A42498What is it to have Peace with men, and warre with God?
A42498What is knowledge of truth and equity, if there be not courage and conscience to speak it?
A42498What is more unjust than that it should bee well with him, who hath left off to doe well?
A42498What is skill, courage, and conscience, if destitute of power, to execute what they know, and decree?
A42498What is the hope of the hypocrite( saith he in Iob) when God shall take away his soule?
A42498What more just than that evill of suffering should light on evill doers?
A42498Will yee accept the person of the Almighty, or lye for him?
A42498how confused, disorderly and dangerous must our motions be?
A42498how many impious, and to be pitied?
A42498like Iezebels fast, to doe injustice?
A42498of generous and great spirits?
A42498or, speak otherwise than you judge in your selves?
A42498to decree unrighteous decrees?
A42498to pervert judgement, and turne away the cause and right of the poore and innocent?
A42498ut animam serves nonne expergisceris?
A42498whether they forsake not their owne mercies, who follow lying vanities?
A42498whether they which despise holinesse doe not withall despise their owne soules, their God and Saviour?
A42498whether this be not to glory in our shame, to be ashamed of that which is the glory of God, and the reasonable creature?
A59880And why then should we not all unite in such Princes, and forget all former Quarrels?
A59880How came they to be his Soveraign, and He their Subject?
A59880It was a Sarcastical Question of Pilate to the Jews, Will ye crucifie your King?
A59880Return, O Lord, how long?
A59880What Law or Rule made such an Example or President as this?
A59880why should we still divide into Parties, when the Throne is of no Party, and will admit of none?
A02609Againe, knowing God truely and rightly, what could he want in the knowledge of the creatures?
A02609Alas, they brought nothing with them, but pouertie and famine: Was it not altogether for Iosephs sake, whom hee loued?
A02609And Christ hath redeemed the whole substance of man, bodie and soule; Know yee not that yee are bought with a price?
A02609And doe you thinke that he is silent there too?
A02609And is it not a strange amplification of the disease, that brings dishonour, instead of glory to the Physitian?
A02609And is there any vnrighteousnes with God?
A02609And what if the light of Scripture faileth too?
A02609And what tempest could be raised for his sake?
A02609And who could haue desired more?
A02609Are not the soules of many wicked ones in hell?
A02609Are they not all ministring Spirits?
A02609Are we not liberally dealt withall, to haue the fruite of the victorie, and to be exempted from the hazard of fight?
A02609But if the fruite were good, why should it not be tasted?
A02609But the righteousnesse of the righteous, shall be vpon himselfe: what is that to thee?
A02609But when the same person that was creator of all things, became obedient, and obedient vnto death: what is it that his obedience could not worke?
A02609But why should Christians, that are borne of God, take names from men?
A02609Can any thing be more excellēt then the image of him that is authour of all excellencies?
A02609Cappadocia, Asia,& Bythinia; had puritie of faith, eyther amongst themselues, or with S. Peter?
A02609Christo sic eos ponente vt eant,& fructum offerant,& fructus eorum maneat: quis audeat dicere, forsitan non manebit?
A02609Did not he condition with them, that if they sought him, they should let his disciples goe?
A02609Did not these wofull lookes pleade for him?
A02609Doe they not withall steale one moletie of our iustification from God, and transfer it to workes?
A02609Doth he not say, Gloriam meam alteri non dabo?
A02609Doth hee not say, Ego Deus,& non mutor?
A02609Doth hee not therein plainely let vs vnderstand, that all things else must be variable?
A02609Doth it not hold good correspondencie with the rule of Iustice?
A02609Doth it not shew where the image of God was placed?
A02609Doth not our Text tell vs, that his purpose was to make a man, and not a God?
A02609Et in nobis quidem operit multitudinem peccatorum: In te autē domine, quid nisi pietatis thesauros, diuitias bonitatis?
A02609For gluttonie, or intemperance of his throate?
A02609For him hee destroyed many Angels, and sentenced all men: What did the Sonne when he saw the Father so iealous for him, that he spared no creature?
A02609For how was his sinne forgiuen?
A02609For what experience can we haue of this light, that feele nothing but darkenesse within our selues?
A02609For what righteousnesse could they haue, that knew not Christs obedience, which is the righteousnesse of God?
A02609God made man right; and what rightnesse could he haue without a free will?
A02609He answereth roundly, Are there not twelue houres in the day?
A02609Hee was created to the image of God; and is any thing more agreeable thereunto, then true and perfect libertie?
A02609Hee was crowned with glorie and honour; and what honour can there be, where libertie and freedome wanteth?
A02609How so?
A02609How?
A02609How?
A02609How?
A02609I am God, and in me is no change?
A02609I will not giue my glorie to another?
A02609If his obedience be sufficient, there needes no more; if it be not, where is the defect?
A02609If one mans disobedience wounded mee, may not another mans obedience heale me?
A02609If original sinne be of mans substance, must it not needs haue tainted Christ?
A02609If the creature had receiued this, what should the Soueraigne haue reserued for himselfe?
A02609If the diuine nature could haue yeelded obedience, had not his incarnation beene superfluous?
A02609If the diuinitie had bene obedient, it must haue died too; for he was obedient vnto death: and is it possible to haue a mortall diuinitie?
A02609If there were any other means for vs to come to Christ, who would die?
A02609Ioseph would not contend with his brethren, when they had agreed to put him to death: but did hee not vse deprecations?
A02609Is it for his curiositie and vaine loue of knowledge?
A02609Is it not a grieuous necessitie, that he hath conueyed guiltinesse sooner then life?
A02609Is it not a restitution and reparation of that which was decayed or lost?
A02609Is it the lesse for the multitude of sinnes?
A02609Is not the creation, which was the first outward work of the God- head, fitly attributed to the first person, that is of himselfe and of no other?
A02609Is not this Naomie, that beautifull creature, that was like a little god vpon earth?
A02609Is not this to giue a thousand to our Redeemer, and ten thousand to our selues?
A02609Is there any invaliditie in the Fathers acceptation?
A02609Let vs put the case, that God had giuen man such a light as hee could not extinguish: What praise?
A02609Mori& crucifigi& humiliari posset nisi homo?
A02609Nihil boni fecisti& datur tibi remissio peccatorū: It stood in remission of sinne: And is not forgiuenesse of sinne graunted to all alike?
A02609Not so neyther: for, Who hath knowne the minde of the Lord?
A02609Or is it lesse for the infirmitie of our faith?
A02609Shal Sathan?
A02609Shall the righteousnesse of the righteous be vpon himselfe?
A02609Then must the sinne of the sinner be vpon himselfe too: and what is that to mee?
A02609Then you will aske, how he should transmit that sinne to his posterity, that was remitted to himselfe?
A02609Tolerare passiones nunquid posset nisi homo?
A02609Vt vidi, vt perij, vt me malus abstulit error?
A02609Was it for any respect of themselues?
A02609Was it not sufficient that God made him right?
A02609Were it not strange then for him to be authour of that which he doth not loue?
A02609What could escape such a consultation, where the Father aduiseth with his Wisedome, considereth seriously with his holy Spirit?
A02609What greater lustinesse, then that this childe of the earth was not content to be like vnto God, vnlesse he might also be equall with him?
A02609What is contumelious to the gratious benefit of our redemption, if this be not?
A02609What is it then that can make inequalitie in our iustification?
A02609What shall I say of our Regeneration?
A02609What signified the sweete treitment that was giuen to Iacob and his children in Egypt?
A02609What then?
A02609What was it then?
A02609When he addeth, in our image, where can be dissimilitude?
A02609When he beleeued that which the Deuill promised, was hee not very worthie to finde that which God threatned?
A02609When he came to the Sonne of God with swordes& staues, did not the innocent Lamb aske them whom they sought?
A02609When originall sinne is thus extenuated, consider( I beseech you) what, and how little it is that they leaue to the redemption and benefit of Christ?
A02609When sinne had once got hold of his person, must it not needes taint vs all that are partakers of his nature?
A02609When the Deuill and his complices transgressed, the holy Angels did not transgresse: Why?
A02609Where be they then that will needes bee ioynt- purchasers with Iesus Christ?
A02609Where is the terror and defence of their armed men?
A02609Where shall we finde the like?
A02609Wherefore doth God vpbraid him so ironically, that he is now like vnto God?
A02609Wherefore then should not God make man, although hee had a foreknowledge that the man would sinne?
A02609Whereto then serueth this deliberation?
A02609Wherewith is it?
A02609Who can distaste this iustice, or finde any harshnes in it, when both were propounded vnto the man vpon equall termes?
A02609Why did he receiue them, not onely into his common- wealth, but also into his neere familiaritie, and loue?
A02609Why did the gracious King, that knew them not before they were brought vnto him, make them Denizens of strangers; and Citizens of aliens?
A02609Why should I haue anie surplusage from the sinner?
A02609Why should not righteousnesse come from another, when guiltinesse commeth from another?
A02609Why then doth hee call their faith like pretious?
A02609Will you haue a proofe thereof in the matter we handle?
A02609Will you make more then one?
A02609Wist ye not that when the fountaine of all goodnes was forsaken, nothing would remaine but sinne?
A02609You will aske then, how he should haue bin preserued from age, from infirmitie, and from death?
A02609adorned with his image, armed with his authoritie, inspired with his righteousnesse, furnished with an abilitie and power of immortalitie?
A02609and shal not the sinne of the sinner be vpon himselfe too?
A02609and then how should they be creating powers?
A02609and, I haue prayed for thee, that thy faith faile not?
A02609did not they admit of this condition, and let them all escape?
A02609did not they answer, Iesus of Nazareth?
A02609his mind doth vnderstand, but humane things,& not diuine; earthly,& not heauenly businesse: his will doth affect also and desire;& what?
A02609if it were euill, what did it in paradise?
A02609it is most certaine that he tooke our whole substance: how could he be true man, without the substance of man?
A02609nunquid aut alter Christus, aut idem iterum habet crucifigi pro ea?
A02609or was his Counsailor, and hath taught him?
A02609that one man should eate of the soure grape, and all our teeth be set on edge?
A02609that wee should be sinfull before we haue sinned?
A02609transgressors ere wee haue trespassed?
A02609were they not vocall?
A02609what glorie?
A02609what haue I done worthie of this that you goe about?
A02609what retribution should he haue expected for doing well, if he could not haue done otherwise?
A02609what then?
A02609when the father of lights was left, that darkenesse would couer all?
A02609where be they that implore ayde of S. Peter, or S. Iames, or S. Iohn, or any Saint in these affaires?
A02609who hath giuen him first, and he shall be recompensed?
A58812But then if any storm happen to overtake them, whither can they go?
A58812But what reward is comparable to that of a righteous man?
A58812For how can they be secure of any thing that comes from the hand of that God who is enflamed with such a just indignation against them?
A58812What heart can bear up against the terrour of his Thunder- bolts?
A60947But wherein then according to their opinion did this Image of God consist?
A60947For is it not strange, that a rationall man should worship an Oxe, nay the image of an Oxe?
A60947adore Leeks and Garlick, and shed penitential tears at the smell of a deified Onyon?
A60947bow himself before a Cat?
A60947that he should fawn upon his Dog?
A59891And what Thoughts and devout Passions became us then, which are not still on this Day the proper Exercise of our Devotion?
A59891And what is the meaning of this?
A59891But this is the great difficulty; Who shall reveal this Secret to us?
A59891How shall we distinguish between the Corrections of God, and the Wickedness of Men?
A59891Is not God the same still?
A59891Now was all this, do you think, calculated only for Sixty six?
A59891That none can stay his hand, or resist his will, or say unto him, What doest thou?
A59891What could the Fire of London teach us Thirty three Years ago, which it does not teach a wise man still?
A59557But wherein then is there any Profit if not in these things?
A59557How shall we be rendred more useful to the world, if our designs and endeavours as to these matters do take effect?
A59557In all these things, the great enquiry is to be, what good will they tend to?
A59557What is that good that the sons of men are to apply themselves to in order to their living as comfortably as the state of things here will allow?
A59557or having begun, where shall I make an end?
A58813Did they but hate Impiety and Immorality, but half as much as they do Bishops and Liturgies, what excellent Christians would they be?
A58813How can I take Pleasure in making them worse than they are, did I not wish they were so?
A58813That is, both of those that move the Rebellion, and of those that Associate with them?
A58813To what purpose should you tell me a Tragical Story, of the ill Actions or Designs of my Prince?
A58813Why should I be so forward to believe any ill of them, but that Facilè credimus quod volumus?
A58813Why so backwards to believe any Good, but that we heartily wish there were no Cause for it?
A58813how much greater and more Magnificent is this, than to be Dull and stay at home and mind ones own Business?
A57140An vero ei peccata ipsa non Cooperantur in Bonum qui ex eis humilior, ferventior, solicitior, timoratior& Cautior invenitur?
A57140How much more comfortably may we plead it, when by the alone mercy thereof, we remain escaped?
A57140How much more hainous is it to abuse Mercy and Loving kindness?
A57140In so much that other Nations study the English Tongue to read our Books; What Nation hath ever had such manifold, such miraculous deliverances?
A57140That we should remain escaped this day, wherein we have so greatly provoked the Lord, O how admirable and unsearchable the goodness?
A57140That we should so greatly provoke the Lord, this day, wherein we remain escaped: O how prodigious and presumptuous the wickedness?
A57140What Nation hath the Lord Crowned with a greater abundance of all good things?
A57140What Nation in the Earth hath God so honoured with a long possession of his Oracles, and glorious light of his Word?
A57140What means could be used to work upon a people which the Lord hath not made use of amongst us?
A57140and say, thus far hath the Lord holpen us?
A57140doth he appear first unto Mary Magdalen, out of whom he he had cast seven Devils?
A57140doth he look back with pitty upon a a denying Peter?
A57140doth he shew mercy on a Manasseh, filling Ierusalem with blood and Idols?
A57140doth he speak pardon from Heaven unto a persecuting Paul?
A57140hast thou wrought so great deliverances, and done so many wonders, and snatcht us as brands out of the fire, to destroy us at the last?
A57140hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
A57140how will fire break forth in dry wood, when it hath prevailed against the green?
A57140sinne then shall not break out so far as to annull and to evacuate the Covenant: For who then should be saved?
A57140thou hast delivered, and dost deliver, wilt thou not give us leave to trust in thee for deliverance still?
A57140we are a great people, and the Lord hath hitherto blessed us?
A57140who will say unto him, what dost thou?
A44521A temporal Prince will not suffer himself to to be baffled thus, and canst thou imagine that a jealous God will connive at it?
A44521All other Creatures betimes prosecute the end for which they are created, and wilt thou alone forget the end for which thou camest into the world?
A44521And have you no ambition to live as long as Angels live?
A44521And shall so noble a Creature be undone for want of a little care?
A44521And while God is not in all their thoughts, how should they fear, how should they stand in awe, how should they be restrained from doing ill?
A44521And will ye refuse so great a Mercy, and a Pearl of that inestimable value?
A44521Are you so low- spirited that you have no desire to live eternally?
A44521Art thou afraid of remembring thy Creator, when everlasting Treasures depend upon the choice?
A44521But doth any wise man therefore judge that Prisons are not for the common good, or that they are needless in a Common- wealth?
A44521But what do we talk of another life?
A44521Can God see thee thus refractory, and forbear preparing his Arrows upon the Bow against thee?
A44521Can the eyes of men make thee afraid, and is the revenging Eye of God no disswasive from thy wickedness?
A44521Canst thou imagine that a God bent so much upon thy good, would prescribe any thing prejudicial to thy interest?
A44521Did any of the damned see you loth and unwilling to embrace this offer, what strange Creatures would they take you to be?
A44521Do these men believe another life do you think?
A44521Do''st thou believe Salvation is the confluence of all Felicity, and dost thou dread an early consideration how thou shalt arrive to it?
A44521Do''st thou contemn God, and hope to escape?
A44521Do''st thou know what Salvation means?
A44521Do''st thou make nothing of his Promises, and Threatnings, and think to go unpunished?
A44521Doth he take care of thy Soul and Body with all his strength, and shall such a crawling Worm refuse to offer him that which is found and whole?
A44521Fancy you hear him say, O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn your glory into shame, how long will ye love Vanity and seek after leasing?
A44521Go and offer it to thy Governour, and see whether he will accept of such weak endeavours?
A44521Hast thou any spark of Reason left, and dost not thou blush at these doings?
A44521Hath not that need of nourishment, as well as thy corruptible Flesh?
A44521Hath thy God deserved so little at thy hand, that thou canst serve him so?
A44521How can we look upon the Sun, and not behold him by whose order he shines, and warms this Nether- world?
A44521How can we view the Moon and Stars, and not see him that calls them all by their names?
A44521How many years have I spent in the world without any serious thoughts of the great mystery of Godliness?
A44521How should he know them when they have lost the Character of his Sheep, the mark whereby the Flock must be distinguished, which is to hear his Voice?
A44521I have looked upon my remembring thee as a thing indifferent, which I might observe or neglect at my pleasure?
A44521I never knew you?
A44521If thou allowest God to be a greater Prince than thy King, will he sit silent dost thou think while thou tramplest his Authority under thy feet?
A44521If thou wouldest not cheat thy Body in this manner, what hurt hath thy Soul done thee that thou wilt wrong it thus?
A44521In death there is no remembrance of thee, and who will give thee thanks in the Grave?
A44521Is being happy for ever nothing?
A44521Is it any advantage to him when thou workest in his Vineyard?
A44521Is it not thy profit he seeks?
A44521Is it so light a thing that thou needest deliberate, whether thou shalt prepare for it?
A44521Is it the Mercy that ever was Mankind, and dost not thou think it worth accepting upon any terms?
A44521Is this the return thou makest him for the thousand Mercies he bestows upon thee?
A44521It''s true, God is merciful, but art thou a fit Object of Mercy, that despisest the riches of his goodness?
A44521Mightest not thou as well say, that thou wilt forbear wholesom Food some years, and eat and drink hereafter?
A44521Must thy Body feed, and thy Soul be starved?
A44521Nay, art thou so fond of weak services, that thou wouldest expect none from thy Servant but when his strength fails him?
A44521Need he court his Servant to do his work, who hath Flames enough to force him to it?
A44521Onely of his Death it may be said as David said of a far greater man: Did the Lad die as a fool dieth?
A44521Or do''st thou think that thy Soul will be contented with the trash thou feedest thy Body with?
A44521Or what apologies can Mercy make for a person that had rather have the wrath of God than that Mercy for his portion?
A44521Shall thy shallow brain pretend to know better than he who made thy frame, or considers and ponders things in the Ballance of his eternal Wisdom?

A44521To this, St. Ephrem: Art thou asham''d to be seen by men, and dost thou not blush to venture upon this villany in the sight of God?
A44521Was it purchased by the Bloud of God, and shalt thou think any thing too dear for it?
A44521What a contempt dost thou put upon God in valuing that so little which he prizes at the highest rate?
A44521What insolence, what rudeness is this?
A44521What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
A44521What mighty purchase doth he get by thy remembring of him?
A44521What should men do who have lost much time, but husband the remainder to the best advantage?
A44521What time would''st thou set apart for this necessary work?
A44521What vanity, or what frenzy rather hath possessed thy mind, that thou talkest of being serious hereafter?
A44521Who redeem''d you?
A44521Who sanctifies you?

A44521Why Sirs?
A44521Why should he shew mercy to a person that thinks his mercy a buthen, and his kindness troublesome?
A44521Why the strict observance of these two Lessons is particularly necessary in the days of our youth?
A44521Why?
A44521Wilt thou deal so basely with him who hath acted so generously for thy good?
A44521Wilt thou give that to God, which Man would scorn, and thy self do''st not care for?
A44521Wilt thou make Bargains with him, as Pharaoh did with the Children of Israel, and limit him how much he shall take at thy hands?
A44521You may laugh at these Terrours now, but when they come to pass, what wise man would be under your circumstances?
A44521Youth( thus pleads the Age) must have its swing; and what should the sprightly Lad do, but follow his Amours and Vanities?
A44521and if it were no sin, can any thing be more contrary to good manners?
A44521and shall he after all be scorned and under- valued for his pains?

A59892But what is it to praise God?
A59892Does he praise God best, who composes the best Anthems, or Sings them best?

A59892If there be no force in Musick to give a Good or Bad Tincture to the Mind, Why do any men complain of Wanton Songs?
A59892Is it only to sing aloud, and to make a joyful noise to God?
A59892Why then should any Man think Musick improper for the Worship of God?
A59562Are there not twenty Families for one that live without so much as the shew of any Devotion?
A59562But when a Man hath done this, to what purpose is it for him to trouble himself any further?
A59562But, is there any thing of this to be seen among us, except in some few persons here and there?
A59562If the Case be thus with us, as I am afraid it is; What Plea have we to put in for our selves?
A59562O my Brethren, what have we to say to these things?

A48821Whereupon the two Disciples who had Swords, thinking now was the time to make use of them, they asked him, Lord, shall we smite with the Sword?

A59548A man is not then exposed so much to temptations; he may with less difficulty preserve his innocence; but where is the praise of such a vertue?
A59548And what I pray is the reason he is thus perswaded?

A59548But wherein then is there any Profit if not in these things?

A59548How then must we express our thankfulness for the wealth that he hath bestowed upon us?
A59548In all these things, the great enquiry is to be, what good will they tend to?
A59548What is that good that the sons of men are to apply themselves to in order to their living as comfortably as the state of things here will allow?
A59548When S. Iohn Baptist came preaching Repentance unto Israel, the people asked him saying what shall we do?
A59548do they either recommend him more to God or to wise men or even to himself, if he have a grain of sense in him, than if he was without them?
A59548or having begun, where shall I make an end?
A59548there is none of us, even the best, but hath a multitude of sins to answer for; by what means now must we obtain, that these sins shall be covered?

A57160And what is man?
A57160Are calves, or rams, or children, fit to be Umpires betwixt a sinner and his God?
A57160But what reason hath the cup to be proud of the wine, or the bag of the money which men put into it?
A57160But what?
A57160God hath a controversy, plead he will; and as he called for Adam when he hid himself, Adam where art thou?
A57160He hath shewed thee O man,& c. But what then are the counsels that he gave?
A57160Is not he thy Father?
A57160What difference doth a Fever make between a Lord, and a begger, or what manners doth lightning and thunder observe more toward a Cedar than a shrub?
A57160When the Soul is once awakened, and startled with this question, how wilt thou do to dwell with devouring fire, and with everlasting burning?
A57160Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A57160Who could not have said as much as this?
A57160Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
A57160all my substance in devotion?
A57160and put on Sack- cloth instead of purple?
A57160and wear out my lungs with sighs?
A57160did not God shew those as well as these?
A57160did not Moses as well receive the pattern of the Sanctuary, as the Tables of the Law?
A57160did not the law give an express indicavit for these too?
A57160shall I bruise my breast with buffets, and torture my back with scourges?

A57160will the Lord be pleased with thousands of sighs, or with rivers of tears?
A5714916. shall we judge private persons fit enough for them?
A57149And here a needfull Question may be proposed, How farr forth a Minister may make use of Humane wit or learning in the service of the Church?
A57149But if they have the boldnesse to commit sin, should not we have the Courage to reprove it?
A57149Can his Law be put to flight?
A57149Did Satan dye for us?
A57149Did the world or the flesh ever redeem us?
A57149Do we provoke the Lord to jealousie?
A57149If your souls be dear in their eyes, should they be vile in your own?
A57149Is it good to kick against the pricks?

A57149Is it possible for a man to love the father, and to starve the children?
A57149Is it possible to love God, and to hate our brethren?
A57149Is it possible to love the Lord, and to neglect his doubled and redoubled command?
A57149Must he Reprove Sin in you, and will you Reprove God in him?
A57149Must he Teach, and you not Learn?
A57149Must he open his lips, and you shut your ears?
A57149O how vigilant should we be to fore warn& arm them against the assault of so great dangers?
A57149Or do we not hate our brethren when we betray their souls to perdition?
A57149Shall Christ by them beseech you, and will you by your Impenitency refuse him?
A57149Shall the Minister in the name of God, forewarn us of the wrath to come, and shall we belye the Lord, and say It is not he?
A57149Shall they begg mercy for you, and will you reject it?
A57149Shall they open for you the door of Life,& will you shut it against your selves?
A57149Shall they tender Grace unto you, and will you resist it?
A57149Shall we blesse where God curseth?
A57149Shall we sell our selves to sin, and make a Covenant with Hell and death, as if we could sin securely, and choose whither we would perish or no?
A57149Will Gods word be impunè despised?
A57149Will not the Lord make us know at the last whose word shall stand, His or Ours?
A57149and promise peace, where God proclameth warre?

A59895A Fanatick, a true Protestant Plot?
A59895And can these men then think to pull down and to set up Princes at their pleasure?
A59895And why should we not unite in this Church?
A59895It is demonstrable, we can unite no where else; and is it a desirable state, to be perpetually strugling and contending with intestine Commotions?
A59895Shall we then unite with the different Sects and Parties of Christians, which are among us?
A59895Shall we unite in Popery?
A59895Who can without horrour consider, what a distracted face of things we had seen at this day, had this Plot taken effect?
A59895by what Mark or Test, they would have distinguished Friends from Enemies?
A59895shall it be called Persecution for Religion, to punish Traitors, or to keep under a factious and turbulent Spirit?
A59895to be hating, reviling, undermining, each other?
A59895who knows, who should have acted his part in that Tragedy?
A52045Are there not abundance to be found, who take no notice of Gods gracious dealing to them?
A52045But alas, most men are infinitely mistaken in this dutie, a thankfull man who can finde?
A52045But beloved, where is your thankfulnesse for all these mercies to be found?
A52045But will some say, all this labour might have been spared, is there any man who will not praise God?
A52045Did they praise him for their broidered garments, their fine floure, oyle, and honey, wherewith God clothed and fed them?
A52045Did they praise him for their sonnes and daughters when they sacrificed them unto devils?
A52045Do we render to God according to his infinite mercies vouchsafed to us?
A52045Doth the man live who is not willing and ready to give God the praises due unto his Name?
A52045First, who is the man that may praise God?
A52045How have you observed the goings of your God and King amongst you?
A52045I can tell you where the houses are that are full of mercies, but who can tell me where true thankfulnesse may be found?
A52045In our praises we are said to blesse, honour, exalt, magnifie, and glorifie God; can any creature be thought worthy or able to do this?
A52045It was said of Claudian, that he wanted matter suitable to the excellency of his wit: but where is the head or heart suitable to this matter?
A52045Lord what wouldst thou have us do to testifie that we are sensible of thy goodnesse?
A52045Mark now what follows, But unto the wicked, saith God, what hast thou to do to take my covenant into thy mouth?
A52045Now let your servant be bold with you, what glory and honour do you return to God?
A52045Quid retribuam?
A52045Then had the Churches rest and peace; and what use made they of their peace?
A52045Was this thankfulnesse?
A52045What shouldest thou now do?
A52045What then is to be done?
A52045Who can utter these mighty works of the Lord, who can shew forth all his praise?
A52045With what admiring thoughts are your hearts filled?
A52045bite the stone( like a dog) that strooke thee?
A52045contend with the instrument?
A52045how strongly have you engaged and consecrated your selves and all which you have for his service and glory?
A52045or wherewith shall we be thankfull?
A52045what Reformation appears in your hearts and lives?
A52045what cost are you at for this God?
A52045who required these things at thy hands?
A30620All these things considered, what cause have any of Gods people to be impatient?
A30620And can we think God doth not order his Creatures, and govern, and dispose of them, with as much wisdome as he made them?
A30620And ha''nt we cause?
A30620And if God do but what he may, what are we, that we should complain?
A30620And is there not reason then for you to be dumb, and to hold your peace?
A30620And must he not go, or will you be troubled if he go, when his Father and yours sends for him?
A30620And what wrought him to this pass?
A30620And will ye now be angry, and impatient, that God should rather have his will done, than you yours?
A30620And yet with what admirable patience doth he take it?
A30620Bethink your selves; Is not he who now afflicts you, one whose will you have often crossed?
A30620But can there be any good reason why you should be tormented, because God hath made one of yours happy so soon?
A30620But dare any of you undertake that?
A30620But in these Herse- cloaths this young Catechist you see Bound up, a little volum of Divinity; But why so fast?
A30620But shall we give and take?
A30620But what need we any farther witnesses of this truth?
A30620But who made your thought the rules that God must go by in the ways of his providence?
A30620But whose mouth must not presently be stopt, if God should say to us in our impatiency, what?
A30620But you will say to me, Do you think you can perswade us to all this?
A30620Consider, Doth not be afflict you, whom you have provoked to deal a great deal worse with you?
A30620Did I say, the afflictions of Gods Saints come from one that intends them no hurt?
A30620Did d Saul do Jesse any wrong, or did he think it would be so interpreted, when he sent for his son David to come and wait upon him at Court?
A30620Did you either make his Soul, or so much as one part or member of his Body?
A30620Did you frame him, and fashion him?
A30620Do not ask me how?
A30620Do we not all stand amazed at that Wisdome, by which the Heavens and Earth, and all Creatures in both were made?
A30620Doth he not storm, and rage?
A30620Ergo abiisse preces in sumos?
A30620Have ye not often made this your petition unto his Majesty?
A30620He would oft ask his Sister( who was somewhat younger than himself) whether she trusted in God, and loved God?

A60950And therefore how inevitably does an immoderate laughter end in a sigh?
A60950And what pleasure can it be to be encumbred with Dependances, throng''d and surrounded with Petitioners?
A60950But admitting that my Friend continues so to the end; yet in the mean time, is he all Perfection, all Vertue, and Discretion?
A60950But can the Epicure say so of any of the pleasures that he so much dotes upon?
A60950Do they not expire, while they satisfie?
A60950For how could it ever enter into the tho ● ghts of Reason, that a satisfaction could be paid to an Infinite Justice?
A60950For is not my Friend a man, and is not Friendship subject to the same Mortality and Change that men are?
A60950Has he not humours to be endured, as well as kindnesses to be enjoyed?
A60950He that prolongs his meals, and sacrifices his Time, as well as his other Conveniences, to his Luxury, how quickly does he out- sit his Pleasure?
A60950Or, that two Natures so unconceivably different, as the Humane and Divine, could unite into one person?
A60950Wilt thou perswade us out os our first Notions?
A60950Yet has not this also its flaws, and its dark side?
A60950and after a few minutes refreshment, determine in loathing and unquietness?
A60950and then to be an Enemy, and once to have bin a Friend, does it not embitter the Rupture, and aggravate the Calamitie?
A60610And are not your whole Souls, and all their Faculties, swallow''d up with Surprize and Amazement?
A60610And now Excuse me, if I shall tell you, what these Old Saints may be presum''d to say to their New Brood, in one of their Tub- Academies: What?
A60610And then what can such a Conscience refuse to do, when it commands an Observance?
A60610And was it this, such a KING, that was design''d to be basely and barbarously murther''d by his own Subjects?
A60610Do n''t all the Blood of you Veins chill to a Stone, at the very Notice of it?
A60610How did our Presumptuous Traytors endeavour in their Seditious Pamphlets to be offering at the hammering out such a Title?
A60610I say, what a Champion must every Man be presum''d to be, when he is thus perswaded of such Tyrannick Consequences from the Government he lives under?
A60610O, are you not all struck with such a horrour at the thought of it, as even to forget you have a Being at all?
A60610were we once Gull''d out of our Victorious Cause, and tamely dismounted from that Honour and Ascendency, which we had so Triumphantly attain''d?
A60610— But what?
A52050And now( Honorable and Beloved) in such sad& uncomfortable times as these are, what have the Heads of our Israel to doe?
A52050And what have our Heads to doe at such a time?
A52050But what have our Heads and Rulers to doe in that?
A52050Did you then thus know the times?
A52050Have not most of us lived all our dayes, as if God had made us for the World, as Leviathan for the Sea, onely to take our pleasure in it?
A52050In the beginning of our publique troubles, our question was, by whom shall England arise now it is thus low?
A52050Now( beloved) have you known your times, and taken your opportunities?
A52050O how much of our pretious time have they devoured and wee regard it not?
A52050O what cause of lamentations is there: First, In generall to us all?
A52050Should this bee a time of jollitie?
A52050There is one more, and that is, A Use of Exhortation; Is this so excellent and necessary a dutie, to know the times in reference to our duties?
A52050VVhat gratious man who understands this, would ever pray to God in his Chamber without remembring you, and your work?
A52050Verses, after this manner, How doe you say you are wise?
A52050Wee demanded, where shall wee finde Captaines and Commanders for a warre in a Nation where all men have been bred in ease and peace?
A52050What then is to be done?
A52050Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a foole to buy wisedome, seeing he hath no heart to it?
A52050and if so, have you beene humbled under these things?
A52050certainly all people should tremble when God is angry; The Lyon roares, what beast doth not tremble?
A52050did not you thereby helpe to pull downe those judgements that have beene like to devoure and destroy this whole Land?
A52050did you know what God expected from you in your places, and have you done it?
A52050did you then walke as wise men, redeeming the times?
A52050have you since repented of them?
A52050how have you walked I beseech you?
A52050or do they still stand upon your score before that God that keeps an exact accompt of all the Talents that ever hee hath put into your hands?
A52050that is, no ● an can bee compared to a wise man, what is hee?
A52050what accompt could you make?
A52050what cause have we to tremble at the thought of it?
A52050what doth the Lord looke for at your hands?
A52050what improvement you have made of them?
A60353A Navy and Army be kept up with nothing?
A60353But what are these Taxes to what those poor Countries suffer, that are the Seat of the War?
A60353Can a War be maintained without Charge?
A60353Can they be avoided?
A60353Do you pay more than the Gospel is worth?
A60353How doth he labour and lay out himself?
A60353How doth he weary and spend himself, hazard and expose himself?
A60353How much doth he think and study for common Good?
A60353How would our Land have been made an Aceldama, a Field of Blood?
A60353Were not Popish Schools erected for the corrupting of our Youth?
A60353Which of you fares the Coarser for them, or goes the meaner?
A60353While it is our unanimous Desire they should make their Government as easie to us as they can, shall we not make it as easie to them as we can?
A60353Who can see by your Garbes and Tables that you are over- burden''d by the Taxes?
A60353Who can tell the number of the former, or measure the largeness of the latter?
A60353Who is there that can tell or conceive what never enough to be lamented Changes and Alterations would have attended his Miscarriage?
A60353Will Souldiers and Seamen venture their Limbs and Lives for nothing, or is it fit they should?
A60353and a wide Door set open in their Assemblies for the introducing Doctrines of Devils, and setting up Idolatrous Worship, which God''s Soul abhors?
A60353are they Unnecessary?
A60353more than the Honour of your Wives and Daughters is worth?
A60353more than your Peace and Liberty are worth?
A60353what to Military Execution?
A61593And what a Check hath there been, upon the Reformation in these Western Parts?
A61593And what came of this Presumptuous violation of God''s Law?
A61593And what could be more grievous and dishonourable to them, than to have this Ark of God carried away by their Enemies?
A61593But was all this meerly for the Sins of Hophni and Phinehas?
A61593But what are those ways which may be called Effectual?
A61593For who can weigh the Nations in a Balance, and determine how far the Sins of one doth exceed the other?
A61593How strangely hath Mahometism spread in the Eastern Parts of the World?
A61593What is the Reason of such a complaint of Profaneness and Irreligion among us at a time we pretend so much to Reformation?
A61593With what a mighty Torrent did it prevail at first?
A61593Yet how shall a stop be put to it under such Difficulties?
A61593to Advance his Glory and to do Good to Mankind?
A61180And are we not therefore most obliged to it for the same reasons?
A61180And how infinitely is their account of mercies receiv''d short of ours?
A61180And what to doe?
A61180But to what purpose, think we, was all this mercy with God for us?
A61180But what need I prove that to you, and to us this was a day of mercy?
A61180For after he had been thus oppress''d on Earth, and relieved from Heaven, how did he behave himself?
A61180For what, I beseech you, can be said less of a day, whose mercy was so diffusive, that it extended to its Enemies, as well as Friends?
A61180From what, less than Gods mercy can we expect so great a change, since all the Kings mercy has not been able to effect it?
A61180How indeed can we, upon our own strength, hope to make any?
A61180Monsters in morality, to whom nothing was unlawful, all things common?
A61180Of God''s mercy to all his creatures, of his forgiveness moreover to Mankind, may not the same be truly affirm''d, that is of his presence?
A61180Of all the creatures, are not we most fitted for it, by reason of our greater mercies receiv''d?
A61180Only that it might be thus faintly repeated, and imperfectly rejoyced in once a year?
A61180Republicans in opinion, to whom the easiest Laws of their own Country seem''d oppression, the mildest Monarchy in the world tyranny?
A61180Then, with a deep sense of shame, and remorse for what was past, he acknowledg''d, If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A61180our greater capacities to understand, and declare our reception of them?
A61180what retribution to make?
A61180why not rather that he may be loved?
A54040& c?
A5404013?
A540402 Is there such a state to be witnessed, as of the Maker to become the Husband?
A540402. of seeking God daily, and delighting to know his wayes, as a Nation that did Righteousness, and forsook not the Ordinance of their God?
A540404. Who is this that hath been afflict ● d, tossed with tempest and not comforted?
A540405 Who is this, whose stones God layes with fair Colours, and her Foundations with Saphires?
A540408.9?
A54040And did not he act in the Father, and the Father in and through him?
A54040And hath the Lord appeared to these, visited th ● se, built up these, comforted these?
A54040And he that walks according to this rule, can he err in so walking?
A54040And they who are taught by him to keep it( and do faithfully keep it) do they not inherit this Promise?
A54040Are not these of the true Seed of Jacob( who prevail with the Lord for the blessing?)
A54040Are there any now among the Sons of men, whose light hath risen in obscurity, and whose darkness hath become as noon- day?
A54040Are there not many Professions and sorts of Professors at this day, who in Gods sight fall short of this state, and yet think highly of themselves?
A54040Are they not the same which the Soul is to walk in?
A54040But did God create him to destroy his heritage?
A54040By whom do they gather together, who gather together against such a people?
A54040Did he not walk in the Light of Gods Spirit?
A54040Doth God require such fasting or praying of any man?
A54040Doth not God teach his Children in the new Covenant to observe this fast?
A54040Every tongue that riseth up in judgment against them, doth not the holy Tongue condemn?
A54040Hath not God created the Waster to destroy?
A54040How did Christ walk?
A54040Is it inferior in nature to the Fast before mentioned?
A54040Is it the Law- Sabboth, or the Gospel- Sabboth?
A54040Is not the just mans path and his dweling place all one, even the Light of the Living, which he is both to walk and abide in?
A54040Is not this the Heritage of the Servants of the Lord, in this our day?
A54040Now, doth not he give forth a measure of the same Spirit, of the same Anointing, of the same Power to become Sons unto all his?
A54040Or will God suffer him so to do?
A54040They that keep Gods holy Sabboth, do they not delight themselves in the Lord?
A54040Was not the Covenant of Life so adorned in the Apostles days?
A54040Was not the Father alwayes with him?
A54040Was not the fulness given him?
A54040What are the Paths that are to be dwelt in?
A54040What is the fast which God requireth, and will accept in all Ages?
A54040What was the Transgression and the Sins which the Prophet was not to spare them in, but lift up his Voice like a Trumpet against them for?
A54040Who can understand or learn the fast, but he that is taught of God?
A54040and are not they to walk according to the measure of Light and Life they receive from him?
A54040and do not such as come to this state( even to be married to the Lamb) partake more abundantly of his redeeming ● ower and holy Presence?
A54040and doth not he limit him in the midst of his destroying work?
A54040and doth not the Lord say( what ever men say to the contrary) that their Righteousness is of him?
A54040and hath not he power over him?
A54040and is she not so adorned now again?
A54040and will he not be as tender of his spirit ● ● l Israel, in the day of his redeeming and delivering them?
A54040do they not feel the pleasure of his Day, and of his Appearance in his day?
A54040in Subjection to Gods Spirit?
A54040or will the Lord accept such fasting or praying at any mans hand?
A54040whose Windows God makes of Agates, and her Gates of Carbuncles, and all her Borders of Pleasant Stones?
A17304A day for a man to afflict his soule, is it to bow down his head as a bulrush,& to spred sackcloath,& ashes vnder him?
A17304Againe was not Ioshua a type of Iesus Christ?
A17304Againe, what was Achans sin?
A17304And are not the prayers of Iesus effectuall?
A17304And are the Troublers of our Israel so concealed, as wee need Diuine Lotts to discouer them?
A17304And doth not our royall Ioshua the like?
A17304And doth not the King call you The great Councell of Vs, and of our Kingdom?
A17304And doth not the effectuall feruent prayer of a righteous man auaile much?
A17304And how well doth it become all Ioshua''s and Rulers of Gods people, to bee thus tenderly affected with the good or evill of Israel?
A17304And shall not the judge of all the world do right?
A17304And was it not of the spoyle of Iericho?
A17304And was not Achan a Prince in Israel, of the regal Tribe?
A17304And what wilt thou doe vnto thy great name?
A17304And where the Lord makes the search, what place for lurking?
A17304And why did it not succeed well?
A17304And your Councell, was it euer more necessarie, then now, wherein the Troublers of Israel haue almost gotten the vpper hand?
A17304And, Dii caeptis aspirate meis,& c. should not Israel much more?
A17304Any more then the taking of a Babylonish garmēt, 200 shekels of siluer,& a wedge of gold of 50 shekels?
A17304Are any afraid, least the Kings Liege people should chuse such as are Popishly affected, or of factious Spirits?
A17304Besides, if they had knowne it, how ready would they haue beene to purge or to punish it?
A17304But Israel hath sinned sayth the Lord to Ioshua; Wherefore lyest thou thus vpon thy face?
A17304But by what meanes doth God search out Achan?
A17304But did you therein seeke Gods glory first?
A17304But how doe they goe about the scruting to finde out the troubler of Israel?
A17304But how shall Achan with his privy palliated sinne, bee found out?
A17304But how stands this with reason or equity, that one mans sin ingages a whole Land?
A17304But was not Ioshua''s prayer and fasting aualeable?
A17304But what might be the cause of this discomfiture,& consternation of Israel?
A17304But what might the discomfiture bee, to moue so great a mourning?
A17304But what was Achans sin?
A17304But who doe more hinder or preiudice the King in his necessarie and Royall Subsidarie Supplyes, then such Factours?
A17304But who might those Achans be?
A17304Can God be angry with his people, for whom Iesus prayeth?
A17304Did not the Lord bid them goe?
A17304Fast and pray?
A17304For now the heathen might say, Where is now their God?
A17304For what neede authority and power bee armed with impotent hasty passion?
A17304From this verse to the 16 is contayned the Lords charge to Ioshua, Get thee vp; wherefore lyest thou thus vpon thy face?
A17304Hast thou beene sufficiently sanctified, when thine Elders were assembled?
A17304Hee had conveyed his Sacriledge and theft so cleanly, by his dissimulation, as no man was privy to it, to accuse him ▪ Who then shall finde him out?
A17304How doth Israel then stand charged with it?
A17304How is that?
A17304How much more is this verified of such sin, when it is once come to a head and full height?
A17304How much more the loue of idols, and images themselues?
A17304How should that redound to Gods glory?
A17304How so great a sin then?
A17304How so?
A17304How so?
A17304How then came the Tribes to be beaten againe?
A17304How would they haue weighed such stollen sacred wedges in the ballance of the sanctuary?
A17304How?
A17304If a Grecian or Romane Citizen were so deare to their Emperours, how much more an Israelite to Ioshua?
A17304If our Iesus pray, can wee his Israel perish?
A17304Is Israels case no better?
A17304Is it such a fast, that I haue chosen?
A17304Is this so great a matter to moue the most couragious Generall Ioshua to rent his cloathes?
A17304Is this the condition required in Israels fast?
A17304Lastly, how neerely doth the weale or woe of the subjects touch the Prince?
A17304Might not his persō challenge so much of the spoyle, at least for his share?
A17304Might not so great a personage desire to reserue such a Babylonish Relique for a monument?
A17304No, not a beadroule of Prayers, Why?
A17304O Lord( saith he) what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies?
A17304Poore Israel, what wilt thou doe?
A17304Shall Israel be culpable for one mans offence?
A17304Shall not God search this out?
A17304Shall not the iudge of all the world do right?
A17304Shall not the judge of all the world do right?
A17304Should ye not heare& c?
A17304So that being at a full period,( And what wilt thou doe to thy great name?)
A17304Such as say, with our tongue will we prevaile, our lippes are our owne, who is Lord ouer vs?
A17304Take away Iustice, and where is Right?
A17304This was that which troubled Ioshua, that he said, And what wilt thou doe vnto thy great Name?
A17304To perswade they are for the King, when they seeke to strip him of his Subiects?
A17304To perswade, they are for the Sheepherd, when against his Sheepe?
A17304To perswade, they honour the Father, when they would set him against his louing Children, and loyall Family?
A17304To perswade, they loue the Head, when they seeke to pull it from the Body?
A17304True, But what favour?
A17304Was hee not a holy and a vertuous Prince?
A17304Was it not Achan alone?
A17304Well what did Ioshua and the Elders of Israel here?
A17304Well, hauing thus sanctified themselues, what followeth?
A17304Well, what of this?
A17304What a Paradox is This?
A17304What a snare would they haue found it, to haue deuoured so much sanctified, and after the vow so to haue inquired?
A17304What bee those?
A17304What followes?
A17304What if Achans sins be not expiated?
A17304What if Israel herein had beene guilty?
A17304What if it had bin not only thought of, but concluded& enacted, not among, but before all other things?
A17304What if many in Israel play the hypocrites in their fast?
A17304What if the Enemy had taken courage,& vsed this oportunity, in Israels consternatiō?
A17304What is that?
A17304What more is required?
A17304What reason, is this, Israel hath transgressed; for Achan tooke of the accursed thing?
A17304What reigne was euer more famously peaceable, then that of Salomon?
A17304What sinnes?
A17304What then doth the Lord require in Israels fast?
A17304What then?
A17304What was the losse of 36 men?
A17304Wherefore haue we fasted, say they, and thou seest not?
A17304Wherein specially did they play the hypocrites?
A17304Who would not imagine that this fast was rather to expiate Naboths imaginary blasphemy, then to satiate Ahabs lust for his hereditary vineyard?
A17304Why Israel?
A17304Why not Ioshua much more?
A17304Why so?
A17304Why?
A17304Why?
A17304Will not many prayers serue the turne?
A17304Wilt thou call this a fast,& an acceptable day to the Lord?
A17304Would Israel then proceed well, and prosper in their execution of Iustice vpon those that trouble Israel?
A17304Yea how was David touched only for a disgrace his servants suffered from the King of Ammon, whom he had sent in kindnes to congratulate?
A17304Yea, and those sage Elders of Israel with him?
A17304Yea, haue not heathen Captaines showed the like affection to their Citizens?
A17304Yet they aske counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe vp againe to battaile against the children of Beniamin my Brother?
A17304as vve shall see afterwards?
A17304betweene God and Baal?
A17304shall all Israel perish?
A17304shall wee halt betweene two opinions?
A17304what saith the proclamation?
A17304yet in his olde age, doting on his idoles, by reason of his strange wiues, how did this trouble Israel?
A60613And can we think there''s never a tear, never a petition due?
A60613And whose life can be safe against him, who can think he does God good service to murther him?
A60613Are we with the Apostles in a sinking ship, and shall we not with them lift up our voices, and say, Lord, save us or we perish?
A60613But besides this, can not a wise and pious heart, as things are at present, find any thing else, that begs the charity of his Prayers?
A60613Did God allow him an Oak to cover him, and shall we turn it into a Cross to crucifie him?
A60613Do these need no share in a time of Prayer, no concern in the offices of our daily Devotions?
A60613Is any man afflicted( or sad?)
A60613Is any man merry?
A60613Is there no case, wherein we stand in need of the counsel and the aid, the care and protection of a merciful God?
A60613Lastly, Is any man surpriz''d with the ruling passion of a sensual love?
A60613This was Davids Yet, and can we not celebrate as great an one for our gracious Charles?
A60613What is meant by praying without ceasing or continually?
A60613Where''s your Prayers, your addresses for help?
A60613that is, the constant attendance on that duty will alleviate the burden of a sorrowful and discontented mind?
A61621And can there be any greater Argument of the want of Consideration, than for Persons to suffer themselves to be so easily and so fatally cheated?
A61621And did not his Conscience charge him with the Guilt of them?
A61621But what a melancholy reflection doth he make on all these Pleasures of Life?
A61621Could Heaven stoop lower than it hath done to vile and ungratefull Sinners?
A61621For, who can set bounds to Fancy, or lay a reasonable Restraint upon Desires, if the Differences of Good and Evil be taken away?
A61621How came he then to need a Prophet to be sent to him, and to deal so plainly with him, as to tell him Thou art the Man?
A61621How can such Passages as these be Reconciled, if we look on them as expressing the sense of the same Person?
A61621What then is the meaning of these words?
A6167820?
A61678And of the former sort, either there remain some, or not; if not, Who should complain?
A61678Could that meaning think you excuse them?
A61678For first, I would know of such people, who are apt to be taken with this reasoning, What Godly party it is they would fain follow?
A61678Nay, but my Brethren what an inconsequence is this?
A61678The enquiry would rather be, Whether the man professing Christ, doth it really, inwardly from his heart, or not?
A61678What a monstrous wicked good meaning was this; Christ calling his chief Disciple Devil- for''t?
A61678What?
A61678saith St. Augustine, Shall we steal from the Rich to give unto the Poor?
A61637And indeed, VVhere can we find on Earth so safe, or so comfortable a Retreat, when Calamities assail, or threaten us, as here in the House of our God?
A61637And may not God bespeak us too, the People of England, in the same language?
A61637Are the Younglings frighted with a Storm?
A61637Commit thy way unto the Lord, and He shall bring it to pass: But walk in it thy self; how is it else thy way?
A61637Doth not his Cross stand over it on purpose, to direct us hither, when we are ready to sink under the Burthen of our own?
A61637Doth the Kite, or Hawk, the Tyrants, and Freebooters of the Air, hover over and threaten?
A61637If Calamities do come,( and who is wholly exempt from that common Tax, and Tribute of Mortality?)
A61637If in good Earnest we would be rid of this Legion, and say, as our Lord to the deaf and dumb Spirit, Go out, and enter no more;( What shall I say?
A61637Is it too hot?
A61637Or is it too cold?
A61637We all of us have Wings of our own too; Faculties, and Abilities, that must be us''d,( Why else were they given us?)
A61637Would we put in then for David''s share in the Priviledge, God''s Mercy, and Protection to our King, and to our selves?
A61600And what do all these things mean?
A61600But supposing men keep within the bounds of justice and common honesty, yet how unsatiable are the desires of men?
A61600Can you then look upon my ruines with hearts as hard and unconcerned as the stones which lye in them?
A61600For when were they ever more secure& inapprehensive of their danger than at this time?
A61600Had the Leprosie of your sins so fretted into my Walls, that there was no cleansing them, but by the flames which consume them?
A61600Had we no other way of trying the continuance of Gods goodness to us, but by exercising his patience by our greater provocations?
A61600Have I suffered so much by reason of them, and do you think to escape your selves?
A61600Must I mourn in my dust and ashes for your iniquities, while you are so ready to return to the practice of them?
A61600Shall there be evil in a City, and the Lord hath not done it?
A61600Was there no way to expiate your guilt but by my misery?

A60352What brought David into Distress?
A60352What doth a wild Bull in a Net do when he tosseth, and kicks, and flings, but intangles himself the more?
A60352What his being in Distress doth import and hold out to us?
A60352What is Communion and Cohabitation without Love, but a constant Burden?
A60352What meanest thou by saying, This I can not bear?
A60352What rendered Ionathan so pleasant unto David?
A60352What was there in the Case, that David should be so distressed?
A60352Why was Ionathan so very pleasant to David?
A60352Your work is before you, and will you not see it?
A60352and what is it that makes them so, when they are good in themselves?
A60352from whom comes it?
A60352how can you help your selves?
A60352how pleasant then is Iesus, far more than Ionathan was, or ever could have been?
A60352i. e. What Evil hath he done, what one thing hath he done for which he deserves to dye?
A60352such Riches as take unto themselves wings, and flee away, such Honour as is a vain and vanishing breath?
A60352such was Absalom to David; and the Brother an Affliction and Terror to his Brother?
A60352such was Iob''s Wife to him; the Child an Heart- break to his Father?
A60352what hath he done?
A279811 HOw good is God to Israel, And to those who are upright of heart?
A279811 I Confide in our Lord; Why do you say to my soul, fly over to the mountains like a sparrow?
A279811 MErcy& justice will sing to thee, O Lord?
A279811 OUr Lord is my light, And my safety, whom shall I fear?
A279811 SHall not my soule be subject to God, since from him comes my salvation?
A279811 WHy are the Gentils in a rage, And the Nations in a vain conspiracy?
A2798110 He that chastiseth whole nations, will he not reprehend you?
A2798110 Who is the king of glory?
A2798111 And they will say, how can God know this?
A2798111 But now where lyes my hope and expectation?
A2798111 Is it amongst the dead that thou wilt shew thy wonders?
A2798111 Who is he that out of Sion will bring salvation to Israel?
A2798111 Who will lead me to the fortifyed Citty?
A2798112 God is a just judge, powerfull and patient, Will his anger always continue?
A2798112 Is it not thou, My God?
A2798112 Who is the man, that covets to live, And desires to see happy days?
A2798112 Why dost thou withdraw thy hand, even thy Right hand?
A2798112 Will any in sepulchers relate thy mercy, and thy truth in the grave?
A2798112 Will dust and ashes praise thee, or publish thy veritys?
A2798113 But who is he that well knows his trangressions?
A2798113 Who is the man that feareth our Lord?
A2798113 Who knows the force of thy anger, and how much it ought to be feared?
A2798113 Why art thou forgetfull of me?
A2798113 Why hast thou destroy''d the fence, And layd it open to the pillage of all that pass by?
A2798113 Will thy wonders be known in the region of darknes, and thy justice in the land of oblivion?
A2798114 Will I eat the flesh of bulls?
A2798115 With saying continually to me, where is your God?
A2798116 A mountain that flows with milk, a rich mountain; Why have you a suspition of mountains that flow with milk?
A2798116 Who in the mean time will take take my part against the wicked?
A2798117 But to the sinner God has said, why do''st thou declare my laws?
A2798118 Thou that hast hated discipline, And hast cast behind thee my precepts?
A2798119 Into what desolation are they fallen?
A279812 How long therefor will you judge unjustly?
A279812 How long will my thoughts perplex my soul?
A279812 My soul thirsts after the mighty, and the living God; when shall I come, and appear before the face of God?
A279812 Our Lord is the protector of my life, who shall make me tremble?
A279812 Who shall relate the wonders of our Lord?
A2798120 Will the seat of injustice have communication with thee, who hast made thy precept painfull, and laborious?
A2798122 How many, and how great afflictions and dangers hast thou made me under go?
A2798123 Will not God ask an account of these things?
A2798124 For what have I to wish for in heaven, Or what is ther upon the earth for me to desire, but only thee?
A2798124 Is he likewise able to give us bread, and provide a table in the wildernes for all his people?
A2798126 But, as to the wicked, thou wilt cast them, O God?
A2798126 Let them see thy hand in it; And And that it is thou, O Lord?
A2798126 Why do''st thou turn away thy face?
A279813 How long must my enemy be exalted over me?
A279813 How long, O Lord?
A279813 My tears have been my bread both day& night, whilst they continually upbraid me, with saying, where is thy God?
A279813 What shall J render to our Lord for all the benefites J have received from him?
A279813 What will be the just reward of a deceitfull tongue?
A279813 Who shall ascend to the mountain of our Lord?
A279813 Yee sons of men, how long will your hearts be stupid?
A2798134 For who is God but our Lord?
A2798136 For why has the impious man provoked God?
A2798138 Thou hast reversed the covenant made with thy servant?
A279814 How long shall they vant, and utter their iniquitys?
A279814 Who have said, our tongues shall magnifie us, our lips are our own, And who is our Lord?
A2798143 Who is the wise man, that will keep in memory thes things?
A2798145 How often did they exasperat him in the desert, and provoke his anger in places without water?
A2798147 What man is there alive that must not see death?
A279815 For the dead have no remembrance of thee; and in hell who will praise thy holy name?
A279815 My enemies with evill minds have sayd of me when will he dy, and his name be extinct?
A279815 They have consulted how to cover their snares, And they have said, who can find them out?
A279815 What is man, that thou should''st be mindfull of him?
A279815 Who is like the Lord out God?
A279815 Will it not be sayd to Sion, that multitudes of men have been born ther, And that the most high himself was the founder of it?
A279815 Will they not understand?
A279815 Wilt thou for ever be incensed against us?
A279816 And I have said, who will give me the wings of a dove, that I may fly away, and find a place to rest in?
A279816 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can endure the rigour of his cold?
A279816 How long, wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears, and give us tears in abundance to drink?
A279816 Offer a sacrifice of justice, and put your confidence in our Lord; many say, who will shew us good things?
A279816 Whither can J go to be concealed from thy spirit?
A279816 Why art thou sad my soul?
A279817 A brother wil not redeem a brother, will a man vvho is a stranger redeem him?
A279817 All his precepts are inviolable; established for all ages?
A279817 For who in the heavens can equall our Lord, and who amongst the sons of God, shall be like to God?
A279817 He will remain for ever in the presence of God; who can search to the bottome his mercy, and his truth?
A279817 Thou hast powred oyle upon my head, and my inebriating cup how admirable is it?
A279817 Will God eternally cast us off?
A279818 They will open their mouths; And there is a sword in their lips; They will say who has heard us?
A279818 Who is the king of glory?
A279818 Who out of Sion will give salvation to Israel?
A279818 Will he for ever, from generation to generation cut off his mercy from us?
A279818 Will they not one day know me?
A2798182 My eyes languish with longing after thy promises, saying, when wilt thou comfort me?
A2798184 How many are the days of thy servant?
A279819 Can God forget his mercy, Or will his anger allways keep back his commiseration?
A279819 He that formed the ear, will he not hear?
A279819 Man in his youth how shall he correct his ways, but by following thy precepts?
A279819 They came to a wicked resolution against me; but he that sleeps, may he not rise up again?
A27981And whither shall I fly to be out of thy sight?
A27981And why do I walk in sorrow, afflicted by my enemy?
A27981And why do I walk in sorrow, persecuted by my enemy?
A27981And why do''st thou assume into thy mouth my covenant?
A27981And why do''st thou disquiet me?
A27981And why do''st thou disquiet me?
A27981And why do''st thou disquiet me?
A27981And will he never think of being more favourable to us?
A27981And wilt thou not go forth with us at the head of our armys?
A27981But what has the just man done?
A27981Do''st thou despise us in the time of our tribulations?
A27981How long wilt thou turn away thy face from me?
A27981Is it in vain that thou hast created the sons of men?
A27981Not to us, But to thy name give glory; 10 By making manifest thy mercy and thy truth, Least at any time the Nations should say, Wher is their God?
A27981Or the son of man, that he should merite thy consideration?
A27981Or the son of man, that thou should''st visite him?
A27981Or who shall rest in thy holy mountain?
A27981Or who will stand by me against the workers of iniquity?
A27981Or will I drink the blood of goats?
A27981Quae autem conditio, quis rerum humanarum status, quem Psalmista non instruat aut arguat?
A27981Shall the Adversary provoke thy name for ever?
A27981They who work iniquity, and devour my people, like a morcel of bread?
A27981WHy dost thou glory in Mischeif Thou that art power full in Wic kednes?
A27981What outrages has not the enemy committed in the sanctuary?
A27981Who is like to thee?
A27981Why do you love vanity, and seek after lyes?
A27981Will it be for ever?
A27981all they who work iniqnity, and who devour my people, as a morcell of bread?
A27981and he who made the eye, will he not see?
A27981are thy former mercys, which in thy truth thou hast sworn to David?
A27981art my strength; why hast thou cast me off?
A27981art thou afflicted?
A27981art thou retired so far from us?
A27981deliver us, and pardon our sins for the sake of thy name; 10 Least it should be said amongst the Gentils, where is their God?
A27981do''s the number increase of those who persecute me?
A27981do''st thou forget our poverty and affliction?
A27981doest thou reject my prayer?
A27981hated thos who hate thee?
A27981he that gives knowledge to man will he not know?
A27981how admirable is thy name over all the earth?
A27981how admirable is thy name over all the earth?
A27981how long will thy anger be kindled like fire?
A27981how long will thy anger make thee deaf to the prayer of thy servant?
A27981how long will you have partiall respect to the persons of sinners?
A27981how long wilt thou neglect us?
A27981is allways holy; What God is ther so great, as our God?
A27981is it not in our Lord?
A27981leap like rams?
A27981like the lambs of the flock?
A27981look towards me; why hast thou forsaken me?
A27981or does the most high know all things?
A27981or who shall stand in his holy place?
A27981shall sinners, how long shall sinners triumph?
A27981shall the Enemy reproche?
A27981what drove thee back?
A27981what is man that thou shouldst m ● ke thy self known to him?
A27981what made thee fly?
A27981when wilt thou judge thos who persecute me?
A27981when wilt thou look towards me?
A27981which thou hast layd up for such as fear thee?
A27981who a while since rejected us; And wilt thou not go forth with us at the head of our armies?
A27981who a while since rejected us?
A27981who can stand before thee?
A27981who is like to thee?
A27981who is like to thee?
A27981who shall be like to thee?
A27981who shall dwell in thy Tabernacle?
A27981who shall save his life from the power of the grave?
A27981who will conduct me into the midle of Idumea?
A27981why art thou afflicted?
A27981why art thou so incensed against the sheep of thy pasture?
A27981why dost thou turn away thy face from me?
A27981why hast thou wholy cast us off?
A27981will thy anger always burn on lik a fire?
A27981willt thou turn away from me?
A27981wilt thou extend thy anger from generation to generation?
A27981wilt thou forget me?
A61862And all this only to gratifie a Lust?
A61862And now I come to reason with you hereupon, What shall we say to these things?
A61862As if we cared not for his Favour?
A61862As if we were resolved to offend him?
A61862But now, to come nearer to you, What have you done for God?
A61862But particularly, what little Correspondence have we born towards that infinite Mercy of restoring the true Religion to us?
A61862Hath Sin deserved better of me than God hath?
A61862Have God''s Mercies made us any whit the better?
A61862Have not the Lives of many of us been such, as if they were led on purpose to confront him?
A61862Have we not kicked against him, when he hath sed us to the full?
A61862Have we thus required the Lord, foolish People and unwise?
A61862How frothy and unchristian have our Words and Discourses been?
A61862How have we trampled upon our Inferiors, and oppressed our Underlings?
A61862How insolently have we carried our selves?
A61862How often have we sinned against God, when with the same Ease we might not have sinned, or have done somewhat that might have pleased him?
A61862How so?
A61862How unjust and unrighteous, and uneven our Dealings?
A61862If we have been in Adversity, how unadvisedly have we spoken with our Tongues?
A61862If we have been in Prosperity, how forgetful have we been of him?
A61862Nay are we not the worse?
A61862Quid est Christianismus si Pax absit?
A61862Shall I be guilty of so gross Ingratitude to my dearest Benefactor?
A61862Shall I dishonour my God?
A61862Shall I displease him?
A61862Shall I sooner listen to a Passion, to a Folly, than to my God?
A61862Was ever more disingenuity or folly known?
A61862What strange Stupidity possesseth us, that we carry our selves so untowardly toward the best Friend we have in all the World?
A61862What?
A61862Where has your Gratitude, your Loyalty been to him?
A61862be not so weak, to suffer so vile a thing as Sin to impose upon thee?
A61862said Erasmus, What is Christianity it self without Peace?
A62591And do we think all this is to be done in an instant, and requires no time?
A62591And is this a reasonable hope?
A62591Are thy passions and lusts yet unsubdued, and have they had no other mortification than what age hath given them?
A62591But if we were sure that happiness would come again, yet why should we put it off?
A62591But why for a little while?
A62591Do we think that when the day hath been idlely spent and squandered away by us, that we shall be fit to work when the night and darkness comes?
A62591Does any man know how to be safe and happy to day, and can he find in his heart to tarry till to morrow?
A62591How late is it then to begin to live well, when thy life is almost at an end?
A62591If a mans life lay at stake, and he had but one throw for it, with what care and with what concernment would he manage that action?
A62591Is this a fitting encouragement for a wise man to give to himself, to any action?
A62591Seneca expostulates excellently with this sort of men; Who shall ensure thy life till that time?
A62591That we may delay and put off to the last, and yet do all this work well enough?
A62591To conclude: Art thou convinced, that thy eternal happiness depends upon following the advice which hath now been given thee?
A62591thou art just ready to dye, and hast thou not yet begun to live?
A62591what reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God?
A62591when our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light so shine before men, that others may see our good works?
A62591why till to morrow?
A12100& was not Isaac Abrahams heire?
A1210015. and shall wee sport in the delights of this life, and the sensualitie of our owne flesh?
A1210025?
A121006. then again, how great is this death which lieth vpon vs?
A121007. where hee speaketh of the same thing; Who shall deliuer me from the body of this death?
A12100A sonne honoureth his father, and a seruant his master: If I bee a father, where is my honour, and if I bee a master where is my feare?
A12100Againe, let vs come to the duties of the second table, and aske what is the cause why wee can not liue within the compasse of them?
A12100Againe, why doth the poore mans childe arise in learning?
A12100And againe in the fift chapter, What could I haue done any more vnto my vineyard, that I haue not done vnto it?
A12100And againe, what is the cause of this negligence of parents?
A12100And how came Timothie to be such a famous scholler of so worthy a master as Paul was, but because hee had knowen the holy scriptures of a child?
A12100And was not Iacob, the great father of the twelue Patriarkes, Isaaces sonne& heire?
A12100And why doest thou not see how that the Lord by this yoke would prepare thy sonne for another yoke?
A12100But O thou vnwise man labouring of the streightnes of vnderstanding, hast thou prouided for thy sonne liuelihood?
A12100But here peraduenture some man wil say, haue not I enough to leaue my child?
A12100But how do we answere this carefulnes of our heauenly father?
A12100But what is this zeale that we may know it and followe it?
A12100But what will some be readie to answer in this case?
A12100Can a maide forget her ornament( sayth the Lord) or a bride her attire?
A12100Cast your eyes then vpon your inheritance which shall not wither?
A12100For Salomon sayth, Seest thou a man hastie in his wordes?
A12100For from whence commeth this monstrous apparell, but from the wanton and dissolute education of youth?
A12100For the pride of all nations, and the follies of all countries are vpon vs, how should wee long beare them?
A12100For what is the great glorie of God but his omnipotencie and power?
A12100For whence comes warres?
A12100For who should teach and informe the childe, but they which haue the gouernment and commaunding of him?
A12100For without labour how should Schooles be maintained?
A12100Hath the Lord been barren vnto vs, or as a land of darknesse?
A12100Haue I beene as a wildernesse vnto Israel, sayth the Lord?
A12100How art thou fallen from heauen O Lucifer sonne of the morning?
A12100I am wearie of my life for the daughters of Heth, if Iacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, what auaileth it me to liue?
A12100If God should come towards vs with the legge of his iustice onely, alas who might abide him, and who should stand before him?
A12100If glorie be in her left hand, then what is in her right hand but the life eternal?
A12100If thou O Lorde streightly markest iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
A12100If thou O Lorde streightly markest iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
A12100If thou takest displeasure against vs, who shal turne thee to mercy?
A12100If we speake of strength, behold he is strong: if wee speake of iudgement, who shall bring me in to pleade?
A12100In like māner also whē the Lord gaue the law of this his seruice vnto his people vpō moūt Horeb, what fearefull signes did he send before?
A12100Is there no baulme at Gilead, saith the Prophet Ieremy?
A12100Is there no time to shew our duetie towards men, but euen then when we are about Gods seruice?
A12100Is this religion?
A12100Moreouer, what is the reason why euen in the seruice of God one Christian goeth before another?
A12100Now from whence commeth all this mischiefe and the cause of this great miserie both vpon children and parents?
A12100Now hath Christ our Sauiour giuen himselfe to doe so much for vs, and shall wee giue our selues to securitie and liue as wee lust?
A12100Now what was that he had spoken vnto him?
A12100Now( beloued) shall the Lorde lose his ende by our negligence, and bestow all his labour in vaine, and shoote as it were at a wrong marke?
A12100Now, shall wee doe more for our Prince then we would for God?
A12100O had not wee neede now bee a deare and louing spouse vnto our husband Christ, who hath bought our loue with his owne death?
A12100O if a man had a crowne alwaies in his eye, what would hee not doe to come by it?
A12100O if men would serue the Lord, what plentie of al good things should we enioy?
A12100O what honorable profits and commodities come by this instruction?
A12100O where is now that constraining loue of the Apostle to stirre vp our dull and cold hearts?
A12100Oh if all our duties were done as vnto the Lord, what lights should we bee vnto the world, shining in all honest and godly conuersation?
A12100Oh what a glory is it to the Lorde to saue poore soules that were wandring downe to hell?
A12100Oh whose heart would it not reioyce to see the walles of Gods kingdome raised vp?
A12100Proue mee now herewith, saith the Lord of hostes, if I will not open the windowes of heauen vnto you, and power you out a blessing without measure?
A12100Secōdly, are thy will& affections out of frame, so that thou hast no power of thy selfe to will& desire any heauenly good?
A12100Seeing hee spared not his owne sonne, but gaue him for vs, how shall hee not with him giue vs all things also?
A12100Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I doe?
A12100Should you not crie out, woe worth the day that euer you begate a childe for this place?
A12100So that what is the cause, why euen the best professors many times fall out amongst themselues?
A12100The first is to teach vs our miserie in our selues, contained in these wordes; If thou O Lorde streightly markest iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
A12100Then some of the Pharisies saide, are we blind also?
A12100This first is made in the person of the honorable: What doe I owe duetie to those that are so farre my inferiours?
A12100VVhat man is he that feareth the Lord?
A12100What doe you weeping and breaking my heart, saith the Apostle?
A12100What is become of the ancient discipline of parents?
A12100What is the cause why there is so little curtesie and so great strangenes amongst vs many times, as though wee were scarse men?
A12100What is this but to preferre men before God?
A12100What must we honour one another?
A12100What seruice can be sufficient for a kingdome?
A12100Why do some wast their strength in pleasures, as the flame which consumeth the tallowe?
A12100Why doe some lift vp the heele against their gouernours like the vntamed horse?
A12100Why doe wee not then see that idlenes is the ruine and destruction of all things?
A12100Why doe wee then stagger vnder our burthens?
A12100With God is mercie, with God is ioy, with God is comfort, with God is light: oh who would not embrace this mercifull and sweete God?
A12100Yet he is of one mind( saith Iob) who can turne him?
A12100You are not called to shewe your owne strength, or your owne vertues, or your own holines?
A12100and how commeth it to passe that the parents own doung is cast in their faces by their own children in mocking& despising of thē?
A12100and how is his power seene but by working?
A12100and how should all honest functions stand?
A12100and how should they leaue that to their posteritie by the right of inheritance which they neuer receiued from their auncestors?
A12100and how should wee see Gods working, and how should we come to the vnderstanding of his omnipotencie, except wee sawe it in his creatures?
A12100and shall not wee nowe endeuour our best to answere the expectation of our heauenly King?
A12100and was not Abraham that great man in those daies and wonderfully rich, as we may reade Gen. 24?
A12100and what paines taking for the fulnes of ioye?
A12100and whence comes it that one neighbour can not liue quietly by another, but he pineth away, and is the worse euery time he seeth his brother?
A12100and where should that honourable troupe of vertues shewe themselues?
A12100and where should that kinglie magnificence be extolled?
A12100and why canst thou not away to carie patiētly the easie yoke of Christ Iesus?
A12100and why doe other enuying the age to come gape vpon all things present like Behemoth, as though they would make an end of the world with themselues?
A12100and why doe some mens labours shine in Gods Church before others?
A12100and why doe we waxe faint in the Lords seruice?
A12100and why doest thou not prouide also that he may keepe it?
A12100and why is hell let loose within our selues, to disturbe all the powers and sences about vs with wicked thoughtes& lusts?
A12100cryeth out, Who can vnderstand his faults?
A12100doe wee not see that painfull labour is the fayre handmayde to all these, and ministreth matter for them to worke vpon?

A502511, 2, 3, But many have the word, and yet never attain to faith, What may be the reason herof?
A5025114. who can dwell with that devouring fyre?
A5025120. can any man imagin that here to bear iniquity should signifie to bear it away from himself or from another?
A5025121. he was made sinn for us, God hath laid on him the iniquity of us all?
A5025126. but how could he be so, if he should justifie us otherwise then by a righteousness which is exact& perfect?
A5025129. when hee giveth quietness, who can make trouble?
A5025144. how c ● … n ● … ee believe, who seek honour one of another, an ● … seek not the honour ● … t commeth from God only?
A50251And how is that meant, when faith is said to be imputed?
A50251And if the question be, But how may I do to believe?
A50251And is it possible they should have any faith, or any true desire of faith, who do no more esteem the meanes therof?
A50251And therfore wheras the poor soul saith, dare I believe?
A50251And what may bee thought of them that despise the ministers of the Gospel?
A50251And yet communicated it must be, else how shall wee be justified by it?
A50251Answ: This will not follow neither: For, can not God love with a love of purpose, but all the effects of that love must needs be exhibited forthwith?
A50251But do you think that Satan will rest here?
A50251But how can this stand with justice, that our sinns, should bee imputed to Christ, and he be punished for them?
A50251But if God do justifie his servants, what need they to bee much troubled, though the world do censure& condemn them?
A50251But if the word be the means of faith, what shall become of Infants, Idiots,& deaf people that can not make use of the means?
A50251But now this also may be questioned by some, Whether our sinns were imputed to Christ?
A50251But what is the work of the Gospel in the begetting of faith?
A50251But what need; much to be said for the comforting of believers?
A50251But what shall be said to Abram, Isaak, Jacob, David, and the rest of the Saints, that lived long afore the Incarnation of Christ?
A50251By what means may this faith be attained?
A50251Did Abram never believe afore now?
A50251For are we not all believers in Christ?
A50251For it seems God doth not save us without satisfaction to himself?
A50251For the explication of this point, it may first of all be demanded, What is the Gospel?
A50251For the meaning of the words; It may be first of all demanded, VVhat is me ● … t by Abrams believing in the LORD?
A50251For who can clear a man but the Judg?
A50251How beautifull are the feet of such men?
A50251How shall a man swim as long as he feels the ground with his feet?
A50251How then may faith& justification be known, that one may have the comfort of the same?
A50251If God do give them faith, and therby do justifie them and pardon their sins, why do they not know it?
A50251If a man be justified in the sight of God when he doth believe and was not so before, then it may seem that God is changed?
A50251If a rich man would bestow some precious pearl that is worth thousands, and thousands of pounds?
A50251If any ask, What should be the reason that when God worketh faith, he should ordinarily& usually do it by his word, and not otherwise?
A50251If then the righteousness of Christ be imputed to us, What was that righteousness of Christ that is imputed?
A50251If this righteousness be imputed to us, doth it not then follow that we are as righteous as Christ?
A50251It is God tha ● … justifieth, who is he that condem ● … th?
A50251May I?
A50251May not faith be wrought by the Law?
A50251Now how are we made sinners by the sinn of Adam?
A50251Now how was Christ made a sinner by our sinn?
A50251Now what is the Gospel, but the doctrine or glad tidings of salvation by Christ?
A50251Reas: 3 The thing that must justifie us, must be a perfect righteousness, as was shewed before; else how shall God be just in justifying us therby?
A50251So that our sinns were the cause of his sufferings; which consideration should be a means& motive for the awaking of our hearts with godly sorrow?
A50251VVhat needs this?
A50251VVhat shall then be thought of them that lightly esteem the word of God?
A50251VVhy then is this mentioned now, as if he had not been a justified believer before?
A50251What can be more free then gift?
A50251What though there be righteousness and merit inough in Christ?
A50251and how commeth it to pass that they are pardoned& justified in heaven, and not in their own consciences also?
A50251and that every believer is a redeemer and saviour of others?
A50251and that the act of faith as it justifieth, is not of the will in receiving Christ, or adhering to Christ, but only an assent of the understanding?
A50251and whether he bare any punishment due to us for our sinns?
A50251can it stand with justice that one should be punished for anothers sin and the innocent for the guilty?
A50251dáre I, saith the soul, apprehend the promise and receive Christ?
A50251how shall he build his house upon the rock, as long as the sand is not by deep digging removed and cast away?
A50251may I do it?
A50251may I do the will of God?
A50251we sure are not Infidels?
A50251which is as if one should say, may I obey the Commandement of God?
A50251who can forgive the debt but the creditor?
A50251who can stand with those everlasting burnings?
A50251will not they be forward of themselves to take the comfort of their justification?
A67488Alas, where is he to be found?
A67488And if the gleanings of Abiezer be such, what will be the Vintage of Ephraim?
A67488First, Who is the Righteous man?
A67488Then farewell Priviledge, for where is the Person?
A67488What Peace and Rest shall these men be priviledged with at the time of their death?
A3993619. there is a command of God, that it should be penned; and for what end was it?
A39936All the foundations are destroyed, and what can the righteous do?
A39936And doth not this concern us as much as David, and others of the people of God then?
A39936And if God give us more than ordinary joy, why should not we now make more than ordinary expression of it?
A39936And is not singing of Psalmes as fit and proper an expression of our rejoycing in God, as any of those?
A39936And what if God should so farre leave thee, as he hath left some?
A39936And what must this more excellent way be, but that which Gods people formerly departed from, when they made a separation from Rome?
A39936And when have not Gods people occasion so to do?
A39936And why are we not as much scandalized at their praying, as at their singing?
A39936And why may he not as well be said to praise God, when he stirrs up himself to that duty?
A39936And why may not we as well lament our own and others sad conditions, in singing of David''s Psalmes?
A39936And why may we not sing Psalmes for instruction and admonition that we may understand them?
A39936Awake my glory,& c. may he not be well said to pray when he doth so?
A39936Beloved, is not this matter of meditation to us Christians?
A39936But doth not the Land mourn, because of oaths?
A39936But how can we sing such passages as are imprecations against wicked men?
A39936But how can we sing such passages of the Psalmes, as are nothing but exhortations to singing?
A39936But how may we sing David''s Psalmes so as to attain those ends?
A39936But if so, yet, why do they not sing by themselves?
A39936But if we think our selve; bound to read the Psalmes in our own Tongue, why may we not as well sing them in our own Tunes?
A39936But is it so indeed?
A39936But why should any man preferr his Composures before David''s Psalmes, is it because they are more excellent?
A39936Can God reject a sacrifice offered to him from a poor, contrite, broken heart, because that some wicked men are present?
A39936Certainly it is a duty( as hath been proved) that lies upon all Gods people, and to whom shall many of them go for a Psalme, if not to David?
A39936Do the sufferings of Christ, and the fruits of them belong unto thee?
A39936Doth it not concern us to admire the Power, wisdome, and goodness of God in the works of Creation and Providence?
A39936Doth not God here, as it were, judge him out of his own mouth?
A39936For, if we are not tied to a form in praying, why should we be tied up to any form in singing?
A39936Gods people have their fears, and doubts, as he had, and may as truly and justly say, many times, as he did, Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
A39936Hast thou any affection to the Word of God, out of the experience thou hadst of the power of it on thy soul?
A39936Hast thou any sence of sin, and wrath due to it?
A39936Hast thou experience of Gods support, supply, protection, direction?
A39936How do we answer the goodness of God unto us, if there be not affections and expressions suteable to his dispensations?
A39936I answer, we may, and must read; But why not the other also?
A39936I should quite tire the Readers patience, to run through every particular Psalme?
A39936If any shall pretend to such an extraordinary Spirit, I desire to know of them how others shall sing with them?
A39936If it do, why should not we sing the first part of the 19 Psalme, and the 104 Psalm throughout?
A39936If thou art a Christian, shouldest thou not admire and adore the Attributes and Excellencies of God and his Christ?
A39936If thou dost well,( saies God to Cain) shalt thou not be accepted?
A39936If we would chear our spirits, or compose them for hearing or other duties, what more heavenly Meditations?
A39936If we would commend and magnifie the Power, Wisdome, and goodness of God in any mercy, how can we do it better than in the words of David?
A39936Is any merry?
A39936Is it not in the deadness and barrenness of their own hearts, who can let pass such precious matter, without due meditation on it?
A39936Is it nothing to neglect a duty, so plainly, and so particularly injoyned, and prescribed as this is?
A39936Is there not much to be learnt from the 14th Psalme, concerning the folly, and madness of prophane ones, that fear not God, and regard not men?
A39936Is there,( think you) any passage in David''s Psalmes, that a Christian may not meditate upon, and so take comfort in God, and his word?
A39936Let them who have had experience of communion with God in this duty speak, whether they have not found a great raising of their hearts in it?
A39936May we not sing any other Song composed by a common gift, so long as it is spirituall for the Matter?
A39936My heart is fixed, my heart is fixed: or, my heart is prepared?
A39936Nay, I had almost said, is not singing of Psalmes as good an exercise, and becoming Christians, as playing at Cards, or Tables?
A39936Nay, I would fain know with whom they shall joyn?
A39936Now is this nothing to thee?
A39936Now what can be more sweet to any pious soul, than the serious consideration of such gracious and mercifull dealing of God with his people?
A39936Now, if hearing, reading, praying, communicating at the Lords Table be usefull for those ends, why not also singing of Psalmes?
A39936Or how can such a soul chuse but be much inlarged towards the Lord, when it meditates, as it ought, upon such things as these?
A39936Or, how we may sing with grace in our hearts unto the Lord?
A39936Or,( which is all own) how we may sing David''s Psalmes with David''s spirit?
A39936Since therefore we must have a form, why should we not prefer such as God hath appointed before any other?
A39936Since we have the same formes which God himself appointed, why may we not expect the same enlargement of heart, as the people of God had then?
A39936So may we do the like, though wicked men be by, and joyn in the duty, what''s that to us?
A39936So, if thou seckest God in sincerity, from thy very soul, shalt thou not be accepted?
A39936Teaching and admonishing one another in Psalmes?
A39936The Apostle sayes, upon this very account, Is any merry?
A39936The Question is, Whether we should sing Psalmes?
A39936Then how comes it to pass, That Psalmes are forborn, not onely in the Congregation, but in their own houses also?
A39936Therefore I say, Is it thy duty to praise God in a Psalme, or is it not?
A39936Therefore if any be scandalized by them in the one, why not also in the other?
A39936Therefore if you say, why may we not read and meditate without more ado?
A39936Therefore when some cry out, What is this or that to them?
A39936Therefore( say they) What do such men in singing, but sound out so many lies?
A39936We all allow shooting off great gunns, ringing of bells,& c. and why not as well singing of Psalmes?
A39936What a temptation dost thou lay upon thy self by leaving one Christian exercise to cast off others, and at last, all?
A39936What glorious things are spoken of Christ his Kingdome, and the great work of Redemption by him?
A39936What if a man understand not the meaning of what he sings?
A39936What is that Scripture therefore, that doth not concern any childe of God?
A39936What is the meaning( think you) of this?
A39936What though they were penn''d upon occasion, and according to the necessities of Gods people then?
A39936What, doth God never give us occasion to sing a Psalm of praise?
A39936Who can admire and adore the infinite excellencies of God in better phrases and formes ● … han the spirit hath dictated to us in David''s Psalmes?
A39936Why may not any good Christian, in singing that Psalme, act faith, as David did?
A39936Yea, to persist in that neglect, and justifie it?
A39936Yet when we read the Scriptures, I suppose, we many times meet with that which we do not so well understand, shall we not therefore read them at all?
A39936You have the Israelites murmuring and repining against the Lord; and what doth this concern us, will you say?
A39936and are not many wicked ones, all the week long, blaspheming the living God?
A39936and he himself pronounce the sentence, That he is one of those ungodly ones of whom the Psalmist speaks by the spirit in that Psalm?
A39936and how canst thou do it better than in singing David''s Psalmes?
A39936and why art thou disquieted within me?
A39936and why should it be stinted now, more than it was then?
A39936how God doth try and exercise his people with heavy afflictions, and yet when he hath laid them low, he raises them up again, as he did Joseph?
A39936it doth not concern them, nor can they accommodate or apply it to themselves; I ask what''s the matter they can not?
A39936or have we never any hearts to do it?
A39936or is not this another lie?
A39936or where lies the fault?
A39936why mayest thou not sing the sixth, and 38 Psalmes?
A39936why shouldst thou not sing the latter part of the 19 Psalm, and any part of the 119 Psalm?
A39936yea, and blaspheme the holy Name and Truths of God, in doing of that duty?
A62608Especially if God breath upon the Counsels of men, how are their designs blasted?
A62608How are they infatuated and foil''d in their deepest contrivances, and snared in the work of their own hands?
A62608Mother?
A62608Nothing but our Sins can part God and us: Who shall separate us, saith the Apostle, from the love of God?
A62608Now what would any of us do in such a Case, if it were not for God?
A62608So that if God be on our side, who can be against us?
A62608There be many, says he, that say, Who will shew us any good?
A62608This then is the plain meaning of the Text, That nothing in the world but God can make man happy: Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A62608Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A62608shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
A6641613, Who will harm you if ye be followers of that which is good?
A66416Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
A66416For he saith, are not my Princes altogether Kings?
A66416For what would Rome signify if it had no supremacy over other Churches?
A66416From whence come wars and fightings among you?
A66416what appeals would be made thither?
A66416what directions, commands and grants would be expected thence, if each had as much authority within it self, as that now claims over all?
A66416what do they not threaten and endeavour?
A66416what need any one take a long journey thither, when he may with greater ease and as much certainty have his case resolved at home?
A67232And is this the way to do the King service?
A67232Is this the means whereby to express our loyalty to him, and to obtain the blessing of God upon Him?
A67232come they not hence, even of the lusts that war in your members?
A67232so true is that saying of Saint James, Whence come Wars and fightings amongst you?
A67232what can we otherwise expect, but that great disorder, sad confusion and innumerable Calamities will thereupon inevitably ensue?
A279391 DO you that are in Council met,[ Speak and] determine what is just; And justly judge, ye sons of men,[ Indeed] according to your trust?
A279391 HOw long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
A279391 IN God I put my trust, Why then in scorn say ye, To God for help as silly birds, Unto your mountain flee?
A279391 LOrd, in thy Tabernacle Who shall inhabit still?
A279391 MY God, my God, O why Hast thou forsaken me?
A279391 O God, why hast thou cast us off?
A279391 O Mighty man in wickedness, Why boastest thou[ thy self] with pride?
A279391 PRaise ye the Lord, to him give thanks; He''s good; his mercy is endless: 2 Who can describe his mighty acts?
A279391 THe God of Love my Shepherd is, And he that doth me feed; While he is mine, and I am his, What can I want or need?
A279391 THe King shall joyful be, Lord, in thy strength alone: How greatly shall his heart rejoice In thy salvation?
A279391 THe Lord himself my shepherd is, Who doth me feed and[ safely] keep; What can I want that''s truly good, While I am[ one of] his own sheep?
A279391 THe Lord my Light and Saviour is, Whom[ therefore] shall I need to dread?
A279391 WHy do the rebel Nations rage, And[ People] hatch a vain design?
A2793910 Even he that seem''d to cast us off, And wilt not thou[ again] O God, Go forth before our warlike hosts, When they[ to fight] do march abroad?
A2793910 How long, Lord, shall the enemy Thee by reproach[ scorn and] prophane, And shall the adversaries thus Always blaspheme thy[ holy] name?
A2793910 It''s as a sword within my bones, When thus my foes do me upbraid; When in reproach, Where is thy God,[ To me] I hear it daily said?
A2793910 Who is he that is King Of Glory?
A2793910 Who will bring me into The City fortify''d?
A2793910 Why say the heathen, Where''s their God?
A2793910 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead?
A2793911 And thus they say, How can it be That God all this doth[ note and] know; And that there is in the most high Knowledge of things[ done here] below?
A2793911 Even he that cast us off; And wilt not thou, O God, Again go forth before our Hosts, When ● hey do march abroad?
A2793911 Is thy love praised in the grave?
A2793911 It''s soon cut off, and we are gone, Who knows[ aright] thy powerful wrath?
A2793911 Pluck out and shew forth thy right hand, Why dost thou it[ so long] with- hold?
A2793911 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
A2793912 Are thy great works known in the dark?
A2793912 What man desireth length of life, And his own good doth[ wisely] seek?
A2793912 What shall I render to the Lord For all his[ bounteous] gifts to me?
A2793912 Who can his errors understand?
A2793913 For thou my soul hast freed From death so near at had; And wilt not thou uphold me now, And make my feet to stand?
A2793913 How long, Lord, shall we feel thy wrath?
A2793914 Lord why dost thou cast off my soul?
A2793916 But to the wicked man, God saith, My word of truth Should''st thou declare?
A2793916 Who will rise up for me against The wicked doer''s[ cruel] band?
A2793916 Why leap ye you high hills?
A2793917 But Lord, how long wilt thou look on?
A2793919 High is thy righteousness O God, And[ very] great things thou hast done; Lord, who may be compar''d with thee?
A2793919 Yea, even against the Lord himself They grudging spake prophanely thus: Can God here in this wilderness A furnish''d table spread for us?
A279392 How long shall thoughts disturb my soul, And[ daily] grief my heart assail?
A279392 How long will ye unjustly judge, And favour[ unjust] wicked men?
A279392 I''le wisely walk in perfect way;[ O Lord] when wilt thou come to me?
A279392 Lift up thy self, thou Judge of all, The proud do thou[ check and] reward: 3 How long shall wicked men triumph,[ Even they] that do not God regard?
A279392 O sons of men, how long will ye[ The great] God''s glory vilifie?
A279392 Thou, Lord, art all my strength, Why do I mourning go, As if I were cast off by thee, Oppressed by my foe?
A279392 Why should the heathen people say To us, where is their[ mighty] God?
A2793920 If we the Lord''s name have forgot, Or[ any] help from Idols sought; 21 Would not God search this out, who knows The[ very] secrets of our thought?
A2793920 Indeed he smote the rock, and thence There flowed streams of waters great; And can he give his people bread, And provide flesh for them to eat?
A2793920 Shall the Throne of iniquity Have[ any] fellowship with thee?
A2793921 Do I not hate them all, O Lord, Who are thy[ hating] enemies?
A2793925 Whom have I in the heav''ns above[ To trust] but thee my God alone?
A279393 How long will ye mischief devise?
A279393 If by their violence Foundations be destroy''d, What can the grieved righteous do The ruins to avoid?
A279393 If in strict Justice thou should''st mark, And charge[ on man] iniquity; Lord, who shall stand at thy just bar?
A279393 Into God''s sacred mount Who''s he that shall ascend?
A279393 Lord, what is man, that thou of him Dost so much[ mindful] notice take?
A279393 My flowing tears have been to me As[ bitter] food both night and day, While with reproach continually,[ To me] where is thy God, they say?
A279393 Say unto God, How- terrible In all thy[ mighty] works art thou?
A279393 What shall be given and done to thee, False mouth, that causeth[ others] wrong?
A2793931 For who is God except the Lord?
A2793937 Who s''s word can stand, when God gain- says?
A2793939 Why should a man, chastis''d for sin, Who''s yet alive[ grudge and] complain?
A279394 Have all these men of wicked works No[ wit or] knowledge left at all?
A279394 Have all these men of wicked works No[ wit or] knowledge left at all?
A279394 How shall we sing God''s sacred songs, Thus[ Captives] in a foreign land?
A279394 Like Rams the mountains, and like Lambs The little hills skipt to and fro: 5 O Sea, what made thee thus to flee?
A279394 Lord God of Hosts, how long wilt thou Thus in thy[ burning] anger smoak?
A279394 Shall they still speak false and hard things, And[ their tongues] utter cruelty?
A279394 Then say I, what is man, that thou Of him hast[ daily] mindful been?
A2793946 How long, Lord, shall it ever be That thou wilt hide thy self in ire?
A2793947 Remember how short is the time That I must here on earth remain; Wherefore hast thou all mortal men Made to live here as meerly vain?
A2793948 What man is he that liveth here, And fatal Death shall never see?
A2793949 The former loving kindnesses Which thou, O Lord, to him didst bear, Where are they now?
A279395 How great, O Lord, are all thy works?
A279395 How long, Lord,( O not evermore) Shall this thine anger[ towards us] last?
A279395 In ill encourage they themselves, And commune how[ closely] to lay Their snares for to entrap the just, For who[ our plots] shall see, say they?
A279395 Mine enemies speak and wish me ill, And say,[ How long] when will he dye?
A279395 O Lord my God, how many are The wonders thou[ for us] hast wrought?
A279395 O who is like to our great God?
A279395 Shall thy displeasure last Against us without end?
A279395 What hast thou wanted that is good, To satisfie[ thy just] desire?
A279395 Why art thou so cast down, my soul,[ And why] so troubled and dismaid?
A279395 Why art thou, O my soul, Cast down?
A279396 For in the heav''ns themselves who may With thee, the only Lord, compare?
A279396 The mighty Lord is on my side,[ Of men] I will not be afraid; Whatever mortal man can do,[ At it] why should I be dismay''d?
A279396 This knowledge high''s above my reach,[ It is] too wonderful for me: 7 Whither shall I go from thy face?
A279396 Wilt thou not us restore, And quicken us, that we Who are thy people, evermore In thee may joyful be?
A279396 Ye mountains great, what was the cause That made you thus to skip like Rams?
A279397 And now, O Lord, what wait I for?
A279397 For ever will the Lord cast off?
A279397 O God, how precious is thy love?
A279397 Thall they escape so well In this their wicked path?
A279397 Thou, and thou only, glorious God, Art he that all should[ greatly] fear; And who can stand before thy face, If[ once but] angry thou appear?
A279398 For ever is his mercy gone?
A279398 O thou that art the Lord of Hosts, What Lord like thee with strength is crown''d?
A279398 Thou dost my wandrings tell, Let down thy bottle, Lord, And put in there each briny tear, Are they not on record?
A279398 Who is this Glorious King?
A279398 Ye brutish people understand,[ Ye fools] when will ye wiser grow?
A2793984 How many are thy Servant''s days?
A279399 By what means may a young man best His life learn to amend?
A279399 Can it be that his graciousness[ To us] the Lord forgotten hath?
A279399 I said, what gain is in my blood, If to the[ feared] grave I go: Doth silent dust there speak thy praise?
A279399 I''le say to God, My Rock, O why Am I[ of thee] forgotten so?
A279399 In God and his salvation then My soul shall[ glad and] joyful be; 10 My very flesh and bones shall say, Lord, who[ or what] is like to thee?
A279399 Shall he not hear who made the ear?
A279399 Who is he that will bring me in The City[ strong and] fortify''d?
A27939Against thy pasture- sheep why doth Thy[ heavy] anger smoak so sore?
A27939Against thy peoples humble prayer Who do thy[ sacred] Name invoke?
A27939And am not I grived with those That[ madly] up against thee rise?
A27939And if premeditated, they must be some way imposed; How else shall the Congregations all joyn in the same?
A27939And in his place of holiness Who shall accepted stand?
A27939And shall thy wrath unreconcil''d Consume and burn us up as fire?
A27939And that his tender mercies he Hath shut up now in[ endless] wrath?
A27939And to all generations Wilt thou thy wrath extend?
A27939And what''s the son of man, that thou[ So much] regard''st and visit''st him?
A27939And who is he that from the grave Can his own life save and set free?
A27939And who will into Edom''s Land My conquering Army guide?
A27939And who will into Edom''s land[ Me and] my conquering armies guide?
A27939And whom on earth do I desire[ And seek?]
A27939And whom wilt thou receive to dwell In thy most holy hill?
A27939And why with grief[ so much] opprest?
A27939And[ will he] gracious be no more?
A27939But are not the Psalms sufficiently by Translation and Metre, already fitted to the Churches use?
A27939Doth death thy faithfulness declare?
A27939Doth dust declare thy Majesty, Or yet thy[ grace and] truth doth praise?
A27939Doth it thy[ truth and] mercy show?
A27939Even near thy holy Altars they May make their safe abode; And why not I, seeing thou art My King and only God?
A27939Fails his[ good] word[ for] evermore?
A27939He that all knowledge teacheth man, What can[ from him] concealed be?
A27939How great their sum?
A27939How long shall cruel enemies[ By pow''r] thus over me prevail?
A27939How long will ye love vanity, And seek and trust a[ flatt''ring] lie?
A27939How long wilt thou displeasedly Thus hide thy[ pleased] face from me?
A27939How low shall they triumph and boast, Who[ plot and] work iniquity?
A27939Jordan, why didst thou backward go?
A27939Learn and be wise, Will only ye The Rebels be, And God despise?
A27939May they not as well scruple reading or saying them in Prose?
A27939Nor[ all things] see, that form''d the eye?
A27939Or is thy truth and righteousness Remembred and mention''d in The land of deep forgetfulness?
A27939Or what''s the son of man, that thou Of him[ so much] account dost make?
A27939Or[ whither] from thy spirit flee?
A27939Or[ who] himself[ can] justifie?
A27939Shall it be[ thus for] evermore?
A27939Shall the dead rise and praise thee here?
A27939Shall thy provoked jealousie Like fire thus always[ burn and] wa st?
A27939The Lord is of my life the strength,[ Of man] why should I be afraid?
A27939The workers of iniquity, Who will against them[ for me] stand?
A27939What gain is in my blood, said I, If[ hasty] death destroy my days?
A27939What is the sum of my desires?
A27939What need any more help of yours?
A27939What sweeter foretaste of the Heavenly Everlasting Praises?
A27939Which in thy truth Thou unto David then didst swear?
A27939Who but our God''s a rock and stay?
A27939Who can all his due praise express?
A27939Who can o''rethrow his[ potent] will?
A27939Who is this?
A27939Who may be liken''d to the Lord, Of all their sons that mighty are?
A27939Who may this Monarch be?
A27939Who''s like to thee in faithfulness, Which doth thy Throne encompass round?
A27939Why art thou with distrustful thoughts Disquieted in me?
A27939Why by my foes oppression Thus mourning do I[ daily] go?
A27939Why do the Rebel- Nations rage, And hatch a vain design?
A27939Why do the Rebel- Nations rage, And[ People] hatch a vain design?
A27939Why from my roaring voice so far Help and salvation be?
A27939Why is thy face against me bent?
A27939Why so disquieted in me?
A27939Ye little hills, wherefore was it, That you did skip like playing Lambs?
A27939[ O] shall it thus[ for] ever be?
A27939how dar''st thou take My Covenant in thy mouth?
A27939what grieveth thee?
A2783010. Who is the Great, and Glorious King, Of whom our Praises sing?
A2783010. Who mee will to the City lead, Fierce Edoms strength and head?
A2783012. Who knowes how often he offends?
A2783016. Who will with me against those rise, Who work iniquities?
A278302. Who can His mighty acts declare?
A278303. Who in God''s Holy Place shall stand; Or on His Hill appeare?
A2783031. Who can like Him a Saviour be?
A278308. Who is the Great, and Glorious King, Of whom our Praises sing?
A278309. Who me will to the City lead, Fierce Edoms strength, and head?
A27830Afflicted, and in misery, I almost ready am to dy; From youth to age, in lifes each act, Thy suffer''d terrours me distract?
A27830Am I forgot at length?
A27830And in the pit of silence ly?
A27830And loose both Name, and Memory?
A27830At their reproach, with scoffing mixt, I am with swords trans- fixt: Whilst flouting at my misery, Where is Thy God?
A27830Before my foes why do I mourne, Oppressed, and forlorne?
A27830But how shall we sing the Lords Song, His Enemies among?
A27830But teares, which day and night did fall, I had no meat at all: While they, where is thy God do cry, On whom thou dost rely?
A27830But to the bad( Saith God) why should you dare, The Lawes I made, Or Statutes to declare?
A27830But who regards Thy heauy wrath, Or of Thy feare true feeling hath?
A27830Can he, who looses lifes short breath, Remember Thee in death?
A27830Do not I hate, and grieve at those, Whose proud despight against thee rose?
A27830Do then all knowledge thus defy Those workers of iniquity?
A27830Exposing hir to violence?
A27830For if a little that encrease, Where can we seek for Peace?
A27830For who( say they) our acts shall heare?
A27830GOd my Salvation is, and Light: What terrour then shall me affright?
A27830God shall cut off their guile- full tongues, Puft up with pride and wrongs: 4. Who say, Our words their ends shall gaine: What Lord can us restraine?
A27830Hath God His pitty now forgot?
A27830How are their glories, quick as thought, To desolation brought?
A27830How far his sin extends?
A27830How long Lord shall thy jealous ire, Consume us like unquenched fire?
A27830How long O Mortals will ye shame The glory of my Name?
A27830How long shall I lament, and cry, For my delivery?
A27830How long shall I without reliefe Take counsaile of my griefe?
A27830How long shall their insulting tongue Joy in Thy servants wrong?
A27830How long the right will ye reject, And persons of the bad respect?
A27830How long thy closed eare exclude Their Prayers, who to Thee have su''d?
A27830How long will mischiefe ye devise?
A27830How long will ye love vanities, And take delight in Lies?
A27830How long wilt Thou looke on, O Lord, Nor reskue to my soule afford?
A27830How long wilt Thou my soule expose To hir insulting foes?
A27830How long wilt Thou thy help delay, Or not remove our woes away?
A27830How long wilt thou displeased be, With those who daily worship thee?
A27830How long( Lord) shall their wicked host, How long triumph and boast?
A27830How shall I from Thy spirit fly?
A27830How shall a young man clense his way?
A27830IN God I put my trust: How then Do yee reproachfull men Say, To the mountaines flie my soule, Like to the chased fowle?
A27830If Thy enquiry( Lord) should be severe, To mark all sins which have been acted here, Who may abide?
A27830If the foundations perish so, What can the righteous do?
A27830In mischeife they encourage each; Of snares make private speech; Which when in secret lay''d, They cry, What eyes shall them descry?
A27830Iordan, what did thy current lack, That thou wast driven back?
A27830Is His compassion lost and gone; His promises not thought upon?
A27830MY God, My God upon me look; O wherefore hast Thou me forsook?
A27830Mine eyes with expectation faile; When shall my hopes prevaile?
A27830My bones all say; who''s like to Thee?
A27830My foes thus speak: When shall he dy?
A27830My heart cast downe and vext?
A27830My heart cast downe, and vext?
A27830Nor by His favour us protect?
A27830Nor hear''st, when I through anguish roare?
A27830O Congregation speake ye right?
A27830O Lord of Hosts, great God of Might, Who dwell''st in endlesse light: How blessed shall that servant be, Who puts his trust in Thee?
A27830O Lord of Hosts, who is so strong?
A27830O Lord, how fast do they encrease, Who troubled have my Peace?
A27830O Thou most Glorious, most Good, What profit is there in my blood?
A27830O Thou my God who cast''dst us off, And mad''st our force their scoffe, Wilt not Thou with our armies go, To quell th''insulting foe?
A27830O how great goodnesse hast thou wrought, For those thee fear, whose faith thee sought?
A27830O send Thy Glorious beams of light, Thy truth to keep me right?
A27830O sons of men judge ye upright?
A27830O what is Man, or all his race, Thy favour should him grace?
A27830O when wilt Thou to me come neare?
A27830O who, that Israël may live, Salvation will from Sion give?
A27830O why do''st Thou my soul reject, And hid''st from me Thy blest aspect?
A27830Of whom then shall I be afraid?
A27830Or Thy all present pow''r deny?
A27830Or blood of goats would drink?
A27830Or hinder us, when we appeare?
A27830Or must destruction be our lot?
A27830Or on Thy Hill reside?
A27830Or shall not he, who form''d the eye, Your wickednes descry?
A27830Or shall the dark Thy wonders see, The land where all forgotten be?
A27830Or shall, like fire, thine anger burne?
A27830Or shew how due His praises are?
A27830Or those in earth who closed are, From their low Cells Thy truth declare?
A27830Or tune His Notes in strangers Land, That can not understand?
A27830Or what acknowledgment apply, For His benignity?
A27830Or wherefore doth Thy kindled ire, Thy sheep and Pastures burne like fire?
A27830Or wherefore, my afflicted heart, Thou so disturbed art?
A27830Or who a Rock to us, but He?
A27830Or who endure thy vengfull hand, And in thy judgment stand?
A27830Or will His wrath, by sin renew''d, His tender mercies quite exclude?
A27830Or will the dust, and silence raise A voyce to sound Thy praise?
A27830Shall I still languish in disgrace, Whil''st Thou dost hide thy Face?
A27830Shall he, who Nations overthrew, Not know to punish you?
A27830Shall my short daies of life have end, Ere Thou Thy judgment send?
A27830Shall not his search the sin impart, Who knowes the secrets of each heart?
A27830Shall silent dust, or darknesse have A tongue to praise Thee in the grave?
A27830Shall the devouring grave declare, How true thy promis''d mercies are?
A27830Shall they escape?
A27830So words like these their passion throwes; How should we thinke, God knowes; 12. Who lets the wicked live in health, And daily grow in wealth?
A27830Still wilt Thou us at distance keep?
A27830That I may breake hir fensed gate, And trample on hir state?
A27830That I require Bulls flesh, why should''st thou think, Burnt in the fire?
A27830That generations yet unborne Might know their duty to performe?
A27830The Rock He did in streames divide; But can He bread, or flesh provide?
A27830Think ye, that he who plants the eare Unable is to heare?
A27830Thou Lord art fear''d; who may withstand The fury of Thy pow''rfull hand?
A27830Thy Law how dearely do I rate All day to meditate?
A27830Thy face in times of trouble hide?
A27830Thy peoples joyes enlive?
A27830Thy presence when appear?
A27830Thy righteousnesse, O God, exceeds: Who equall can Thy mighty deeds?
A27830Vaine people why engage?
A27830WHy art Thou absent( Lord) so long, Regardlesse of Thy Servants wrong?
A27830WHy boasting Tyrant dost thou threat, Thou canst do mischeife yet?
A27830WHy do the furious Heathen rage?
A27830What Miracle did then prevaile, That both your streams should faile?
A27830What ay''ld thy waters, O thou Sea, That they so fled from thee?
A27830What man is he, long life doth crave; Or happy dayes would have?
A27830What mortall lives, who shall not dy?
A27830What pow''r created parallells The Lord our God who thus excells, And far above the Heaven dwells?
A27830What retribution shall I give To him by whom I live?
A27830What though my leprous soul no Jordan can Recure?
A27830What triumph canst Thou gaine by it, When I goe downe into the pit?
A27830What vengeance doth to Thee belong, O false and perjur''d tongue?
A27830When on your bed retir''d, and still, O meditate his will?
A27830When shall I come Thy presence neare, And in Thy sight appeare?
A27830Who can my Saviour be?
A27830Who can withstand His cold?
A27830Whom have I in the heav''ns, but Thee?
A27830Whose might can with the Lord compare?
A27830Whose word, like thine, endures so long?
A27830Why doe ye vaunt In your un- hallow''d mouth, My Covenant?
A27830Why doth his pride, and scorn surmount?
A27830Why droop''st thou O my soul?
A27830Why droop''st thou then, my Soule, so fast, Downe in thy sorrowes cast?
A27830Why goe I thus in mourning drest, By enemies opprest?
A27830Why ha''st Thou then broke downe hir fense?
A27830Why help''st Thou not, when I implore?
A27830Why hidest Thou Thy face from those, Who ly opprest, and griev''d by foes?
A27830Why leap ye hills which so excell?
A27830Why should in scorne the Heathen say, Where is the God whom we obay?
A27830Why should my end affrightment feel, When sin, or death assault my heel?
A27830Why should the heathen Thee defy, Whilst, Where is now their God?
A27830Why vertue then should I retaine?
A27830Why, O my soule, art thou perplext?
A27830Why, O my soule, art thou perplext?
A27830Will God for ever us reject?
A27830Will they all knowledge thus defy, That work iniquity?
A27830Wilt Thou displeas''d for ever be With all posterity?
A27830Wilt Thou not us againe receive?
A27830Wilt Thou support the wicked''s throne, Or joyne it with Thine owne?
A27830Wilt not Thou with our armies go, To quell th''insulting foe?
A27830Wilt thou me forget?
A27830Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead, To praise Thee rais''d, and wakened?
A27830Yea thus against their God they spake: Can He in desarts diet make?
A27830Yee foolish people of the land, When will yee understand?
A27830Yet little hills like Lambs?
A27830Yet some, who Him not understood, Aske, who shall doe us good?
A27830You Mountaines, that ye skip''d like rams?
A27830canst only me protect: Why dost Thou me reject?
A27830dost Thou so far abide?
A27830how great Thy actions are?
A27830most holy are; Who with Thy greatnes may compare?
A27830nor floods of the lav''d ocean Make clean?
A27830on whom shall I Whilst I stay here rely?
A27830or what his race, Thy notice should him grace?
A27830or, when they sifted are, Stand un- condemned at Thy Judgments bar?
A27830still shall the foe blaspheme, And make Thy Name dishonours theme?
A27830the faith Thy oath to David plighted hath?
A27830they cry?
A27830what is man?
A27830what wonders hast thou made, In providence and wisedome layd?
A27830who shall in thy dwelling bide?
A27830why do''st Thou sleep?
A27830wilt Thou ever from us turne?
A67397( For, what else is Inherent Righteousness?)
A67397And I would Ask those Men who choose to speak otherwise; Whether they think that, beside Justification, there is such a thing as Sanctification?
A67397But you will say, If we be Justified( as our Church tells us) by Faith onely; what need is there of Holyness, or a Godly Life?
A67397Now, That we are Sanctified by Holyness, no man denies: But is it by Holyness therefore that we are Justified?
A67397What shall we say then?
A67397Why doth the living man Complain?
A67397and, all the Graces of Gods Spirit?
A61177A question indeed there was concerning the Ceremonial Law, Whether that were to be extinguish''d?
A61177And is there not still the same reason, for the same entire union between both these things among us, as there was then among Gods own people?
A61177And what is this way?
A61177Are not the Glory of God, and the happiness of mankind the ends of Religion?
A61177Are not true Reason, and the Word of God some of the chief Principles of true Righteousness?
A61177But did not then, and will not always, the ruine of Righteousness suddenly follow the overthrow of Religion?
A61177But what if these Virtues had come single, and alone, without any such blessed train of promises, or bright attendance of rewards?
A61177Can there be a better guide to admonish us all how to prevent them, than our common experience?
A61177Can there be then a more powerful argument to unite us all in preventing the like mischiefs, than our common danger?
A61177Does he not establish them all by severer punishments, and more glorious rewards?
A61177Does he not there free them all, one by one, from gross corruptions?
A61177Does he not vindicate them all by most genuine interpretations?
A61177Especially did he not exemplifie them all, by his own most innocent, just, unblamable, and merciful life?
A61177Indeed can there be any more, than mortal life, and honor?
A61177Is there still behind in my Text any more reward promised to the man, who follows after Righteousness, and Mercy?
A61177Righteousness obliges us to yield to other men their own: Mercy inclines us to give them our own too: and what can be more?
A61177Secondly, What is the way, the best way of following after them?
A61177To this purpose, be pleased that I examine, First, What are the two things, which are here proposed to our zelous prosecution?
A61177Was it not Righteousness that first made men begin to confide in one another?
A61177Was not mankind a Society, as soon as it was a Church?
A61177Were not all his Sermons, especially his great Sermon on the Mount, a perfect Comment on the ancient precepts of Righteousness, and Mercy?
A61177What is that which immediately follows Glory to God on high?
A61177What more worthy of Heaven, than to follow after them both?
A61177What now may be fairly concluded from all this?
A61177What then can be done better on Earth?
A61177Which of these two God himself prefers, can we have a clearer instance, than in the persons and administrations of Moses, and our Blessed Saviour?
A61177Whoever shall recollect the whole matter, and design of our Blessed Saviours Preaching, can he possibly think otherwise?
A61177and what is it to follow after them, in a right manner, in a true Scripture sense?
A61177but the Prayers, the hearts, the lives, if need be, of those who shall be preserv''d by your mercy, or forgiven by your pity?
A61177but the justice, nay more, the thanks, the good will, and good offices of those, who shall be righted by your justice?
A61177how ought we to have been affected towards them even then?
A61177if we should think Virtue of it self to be less praise- worthy than they did, or less its own reward?
A61177life, and honor immortal?
A61177of all which Laws, did not God himself seem to give the advantage to this latter kind?
A61177the one on its Purity, the other on its Unity?
A61177to commit their private Safety, and Profit to each others Fidelity?
A61177were his first Laws to the Jews, Ceremonial, and Ritual only, relating to his own Service alone?
A61177were they not Judicial, and Moral also, respecting as well the peace and prosperity of Humane Society?
A61177what hainous scandal, if we should come short of them, in our opinions, and practice of these things?
A61177what reproach, if we should scarce equal them?
A61177what this gate?
A61177what?
A61177what?
A652253. of this chapter, Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not?
A65225And may he not passe for a Zerubbabel too?
A65225But can we find out ne''r another?
A65225But how, or by whom would he do this?
A65225Dost thou glory that thou art invested with highest dignities, clothed with Purple and Ermin?
A65225Here were the living stones broken, heart broken, the principal Pillars thrown down?
A65225How shall we praise him as he deserves?
A65225May I not take up the Apostles exclamation with a little alteration?
A65225Nobilitate gloriaris?
A65225Quanto honestius est principi si reparator ruinarum vocetur, quam vastator civitatum?
A65225Then the King said unto me; For what d dost thou make request?
A65225They laughed us to scorn, and despised us, saying, What is the thing that ye do?
A65225They will come to slay thee, yet he still retains his wonted courage, saying, Should such a man as I flee?
A65225Was it not now high time for us to say with the Psalmist?
A65225What art thou, O great mountain?
A65225What wild grapes?
A65225When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even unto me?
A65225Why hast thou scattered us among the Heathen, so that they which hate us spoil our goods?
A65225Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they that do passe by the way do pluck her?
A65225Why should not my countenance be sad, when the City, the place of my fathers sepulcher, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
A65225Wilt thou be famous in thy generations as Noah?
A65225as Marlorat notes well upon the place; How much more honorable is it for a Prince to be call''d the repairer of ruines, than the destroyer of Cities?
A65225wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledgt?
A66382And having now at last met with such a One, who can tell but we may yet see that Proud Monarch at last shewn no longer to be Invincible?
A66382And with what unheard of c Cruelty have they treated such as could not escape out of their Hands?
A66382For were it not for such a Restraint as that we have now been speaking of, What would become of All the Peace, and Order, and Government of the World?
A66382How many a Protestant Churches have within these few Years been Demolish''d by them?
A66382If we consider Him before his coming to the Throne; From how many Dangers did it even then please God to save and deliver Him?
A66382Nor did their Fury stop within the Bounds of their own Country: It reach''d even into Forreign Lands?
A66382To what Dangers he has been exposed in an Element that of All Others has ever been the most Contrary to Him?
A66382What b Multitudes of our Brethren have they Persecuted even into strange Countries?
A66382What little Pretences have many times served them so to do?
A66382What new Hazards he has again encountred in the Field?
A66382Where can we find any Instances that may serve to parallel the Battles that have been fought, and the Attempts that have been made upon this Occasion?
A70130How then may some say is their comming out from Egypt to be remembred as a great deliverance?
A70130Is not the envy and malice of Papists against Protestants farre greater?
A70130Now if dayes of judgement were so precisely to be remembred, how much more ought distinct dayes of blessing to be observed?
A70130Thus Papists, though they were forced to let us Protestants have the freedome of our Religion; yet what plots have they contrived?
A70130What matter of humiliation doth this give unto us?
A70130doe they not fret and fume, rage and rave at the increase of Protestants?
A70130what treasons have they attempted to deprive us of our liberty in Christ?
A653111. Who is meant here by the righteous man?
A6531126. and surely it iswell with the righteous that hath God for his portion; is it not well with that man that is happy?
A65311Do not the books agree, the book of thy Conscience, and the book of my Omniscience, and darest thou offer to plead Not Guilty?
A65311For is it not ill with that man that hath a curse?
A65311God is the righteous mans portion, and can God give a greater gift ● nto us than himselfe?
A65311I, but you''l say sometimes it fares yet worse then all this: sometimes the righteous they dye and perish: they are carried away with a tempest; why?
A65311If the Judge be taken away where will be any equity?
A65311Lord, why dost not thou lift off my sin?
A65311O these are in a sad condition; is it not sad at the hour of death and at the day of judgment, and after judgment with them?
A65311Oh how manfully do many sin, they go to Hell strongly in their wickedness?
A65311Oh who can endure thus to be ever upon the wrack?
A65311The Husbandman he hath some Corn in his Barn, and he hath other Corn in the ground; why?
A65311Thou wretch thou darest not say thou art not guilty; for have not I been an eye witness to all thy wickedness?
A65311We would be glad to have things go well within our relations, and in our estates; why?
A65311What are those fiery sins?
A65311What canst thou say for thy Sabbath- breaking, for thy murthers and drunkenness, and perjury?
A65311When thou art tempted to any wickedness think with your selves, Oh how can I bear the fierceness of Gods wrath for ever?
A65311Whence is it that there is this gnashing of teeth?
A65311Why so?
A65311Yea, the curse of God entailed upon him; can that man ever thrive that lives under the curse of God?
A65311You''l say to me, but how doth this appear that it shall be well with the righteous?
A65311for all the persecuting of my Members?
A65311for all thy revenge and malice?
A65311how can I lye in the winepress of Gods wrath for ever?
A65311if the Prophet be removed, where will be any Priests?
A65311what dost thou say, Guilty, or not Guilty?
A66555A cordial at the heart, Why art thou cast down, O my Soul?
A66555And why art thou disquieted within me?
A66555Are Hosts combin''d?
A66555Are all these gone?
A66555But what is all this to them, but the eying the Kings Palace, while they are in the Dungeon?
A66555But what is this to me?
A66555Do Dustie Mortals frown?
A66555Doth nothing yet remain, A drouping Soul to chear, in saddest Pain?
A66555If not my GOD?
A66555If thus Clouds overcast a Soul that never offended, what may us, who offend dayly?
A66555Jehovah Zebaoth can shelter his friends, and shatter his enemies, but what is that to thee, if not thy GOD?
A66555Now is my Soul troubled, and what shall I say?
A66555The GOD of Hosts hath Power, Does Wants oppress?
A66555What are to them the promises of the Word, but a sealed Fountain?
A66555What is Holiness, but a pure light to shew their spots?
A66555What is Love to these that hate GOD and his wayes?
A66555What is Mercy to a soul that slights it?
A66555What shall harm you if ye be followers of that which is good?
A66555Why art thou cast down O my Soul?
A66555Yea, what is Heaven but a place where these that Love GOD, and are beloved of him, dwell?
A210016. Who doubteth ô Lord that thou wilt not receiue mee to mercy?
A210018 Now ô Lord, haue I not endured enough?
A21001And at the last I my selfe haue likewise said, my God how comes this to passe?
A21001And indeed, so long as I shall put my trust and assurance in his mercy; what occasion shall I euer haue to feare?
A21001And then, am I not the worke of thine hands, and that which is more, the liuely image of thy diuinity?
A21001And what is now become of those goodly pallaces?
A21001Are these they who are called the children of the Almighty God?
A21001At the last they waxe impatient, and beginne to murmur: What, doth not God who seeth all things perceiue this?
A21001But if I had not sinned, vnto whome wouldest thou shew mercy?
A21001But my God, wherefore doost thou not new make me?
A21001But shall I therefore despaire?
A21001But soft and faire my soule, why art thou so desolate?
A21001But vntill when my God, shall thine anger last?
A21001But vnto whom shall they leaue this store?
A21001But what is the cause ô Lord that thou hast so highly exalted the throne of thy glorie?
A21001But what shall be the price of my redemption?
A21001But what shall bee the fruits of the iust man?
A21001But what weapons?
A21001But what?
A21001But wherefore dost thou reiect mee ô my God?
A21001But wherefore ô Lord dost thou delay to giue me the holy comfort which thou hast promised me?
A21001But who are they who shall one day dwell with thee, as beholders of thy felicity and glorie?
A21001But ô Lord who is it that in the middest of hell; in the bottomlese pit of death, shall sing thy praises, and sound forth thy name?
A21001Can a good Father more louingly receiue his Childe which beggeth his pardon, then thou hast receiued mee, when I did cast my selfe at thy feete?
A21001Doe yee thinke that his seru ● nts are as farre seperated from him, as your selues are from righteousnesse?
A21001Doe you see this little member, how nice and tender it is?
A21001Doe you thinke that because yee haue forgotten GOD, that GOD hath forgotten his seruants?
A21001For if thou assist mee not, what combate can I wage against the enemies of my soule?
A21001For, behold the wicked, how long hee hath laine in ambush to surprize the innocent?
A21001Good God, what discomfort, what desolation?
A21001HOw great is the goodnesse of our God, how certaine is his helpe to those which waite on him?
A21001Hee hath now taken my life into his protection, and couereth me on all sides with the wings of his power, who is able to enforce him to forsake mee?
A21001How can I shield my selfe from his darts?
A21001How hast thou sinned, say they?
A21001How shall I resist them?
A21001I could not chuse but vexe and torment my selfe and said, alasse my God how comes this to passe?
A21001I did thinke sometimes, oh my God, to hide my faults from thee,& haue said vnto my selfe; How can hee tell, or not, what I haue done?
A21001I see wel that thou knowest, that thou hast drawne thine essence from him, and waitest by him to be glorified, what vsury doest thou offer him?
A21001If thou shouldest keepe a register of our offences, and shouldest call vs to an account, who were able ô my God to endure the rigour of thy iustice?
A21001If yee would then know what I said vnto my selfe, it was thus, what should I feare in the hardest time of my life?
A21001In very deed when I enter into the consideration of these wonders, my heart fainted, and I fell into a swoune, what is this ô my God?
A21001Is not his prouidence saide to bee as great in the gouernment of the world as his goodnesse was wonderfull in the creation thereof?
A21001Mercy, mercy ô Lord, alas my God what dost thou?
A21001O GOD what glory shall I giue vnto thy name, and how shall I beginne to declare thy praise?
A21001O cruell beasts, how can yee thus change your natures, how can yee thus abiure all humanitie?
A21001O how acceptable vnto thee is the sacrifize of an hart pearced thorow with repentance, an hart that is humbled in the knowledge of his sinne?
A21001Oh how much more rather ô Lord doost thou pardon then punish?
A21001Shall I sing of thy mercy in the redemption of those who offending thy lawe, had throwne themselues head- long into the bondage of eternall death?
A21001Then they say among themselues, what is this fellow but a varlet?
A21001This image is loden with filthinesse I confesse, but is it not much better to clense& burnish it then to destroy it and tread it vnder foote?
A21001What can be hidden from him, before whom all things are present?
A21001What day can now displease mee in this world?
A21001What day of my life is there, but would deserue an age of torment?
A21001What makes thee ô my soule so feruent in the praises of my God?
A21001What man that beholds them will say that they should euer die?
A21001What may we hope for, seeing that as strength decreaseth, our euills doe encrease?
A21001What remotest corner is there in the world, but shall resound thy happy comming?
A21001What shall I now feare any more?
A21001What shall then mine enemies doe now, when they shall see such felicity heaped vpon me?
A21001When the accuser shall bee the witnesse, and the witnesse shall bee the Iudge, what shall become of the offendor?
A21001Where shall wee then expect rest?
A21001Wherefore ô my GOD doest thou thus prodigally lode mee with blessings?
A21001Wherfore, ô Lord doest thou support the iust with such affection?
A21001Whether now should I make retreate?
A21001With what wordes shall wee giue thee thankes?
A21001a sort of wicked people who compasse mee about, seeking meanes to surprize mee?
A21001and though my voyce were able, what eares are capable to receiue it?
A21001behold what meanes hee hath vsed to take away his honour and life, see whether hee haue forgotten any thing or no?
A21001can it be, thus, seeing thou hast pronounced threatnings against the wicked, and prepared punishment for them?
A21001doost thou want will to doe good to thy creature?
A21001dooth shee feele more griese then my selfe?
A21001dost thou thinke that I present my selfe before thee to wrastle against thy power?
A21001hath not my humility sufficiently chasticed my pride?
A21001hath not my sinne procured the death of that child whom I loued better then my selfe?
A21001how comes it to passe O Lord that thou art so ready to forgiue?
A21001how foule and deformed art thou become?
A21001how great and praise- worthy is the constancie of such people?
A21001how great is this loue, when the Maister spareth not the life of his childe to redeeme his seruant?
A21001how wouldst thou discharge thy selfe of the promises of grace, which thou hast so long declared by thy Prophets?
A21001is it not ô Lord penitence which I religiously obserue?
A21001is there nothing left for him?
A21001is thine arme waxed short?
A21001my God what hast thou made mee to see?
A21001my God, wilt thou punish mee in thy wrath, and cause me to feele the violence of thy iust furie, which my sinnes haue stirred vp against me?
A21001seeing that on what side so euer wee turne our selues, wee walke in the middest of this world, and this world is euery where full of miseries?
A21001shal he giue those goods which are not his owne, or the Empiers which dye with him?
A21001shal it be the goods of the earth the aboundance of gold and siluer?
A21001shall I preach thy Iustice in the condemnation and punishment of the pride of the Angels, and disobedience of men?
A21001shall I publish thy goodnesse in the creation of so many wonderfull workes which are vnderneath the sun?
A21001shall it bee in my selfe?
A21001shall they bee the wealth which hee hath gathered together, the castles which he hath builded?
A21001that man but a foole?
A21001thou art Almighty, all good, wherefore then dooest thou tarry?
A21001thou whose meekenesse and benignity, is not only vnspeakable but incomprehensible?
A21001thy wisedome in thy preseruation of them?
A21001to what part of thy prayses may the humble sound of my voyce attaine?
A21001vnto what height hast thou raised mee, to giue mee so terrible a downefall?
A21001vpon what day of my life shall I ceasse from bewailing those sinnes which kept me forth of his fauor?
A21001were it not better for mee, by ending my life, to giue an end to my miseries?
A21001what can become of him whom thou causest to endure the iust punishment for his sinnes?
A21001what can bee shewed vnto him which is iustice it selfe, who hath established lawes, and vnto whom the interpretation of them doth belong?
A21001what excuse can serue to iustifie him?
A21001what matter could I finde in my selfe, that might beget such a selfe- conceit in mee?
A21001what precious thing is there in heauen, but shall bee opened vnto them?
A21001what share haue they in this world, or in the next?
A21001what sight hast thou presented to mine eyes?
A21001what strength haue I to defend my selfe, seeing that my body falleth in peeces?
A21001when thou shalt come to sit vpon the eternall throne of thy Iustice, if wee were all iust, who would stand in feare of thee?
A21001wher is the fauor which he promised to himselfe from him?
A21001where doth hee now sleepe?
A21001wherefore haue I made a publicke profession of repentance, but to condemne my selfe?
A21001wherefore should I study to preserue this life, which wrestleth with so many discontents, and is tormented with so many afflictions?
A21001wherein did I hope but in thy goodnesse?
A21001whereof should I bee afraide, though death did lay his hand vppon mee and tooke me out of this world?
A21001who shall ascend thy toppe?
A21001who shall hinder and stay me from entring into the howse of the Lord, for to liue in his seruice?
A21001who shall rest in the very bosome of so goodly and so delectable a mansion?
A21001why doest thou promise mee such aboundance of them, seeing there is in mee nothing but sinne and infirmitie?
A21001wil the shaddow of his bones bite vs?
A21001wil they still be in our sight?
A21001wilt thou make proofe of thy strength on my weakenesse?
A21001ô Lord I am almost in despaire, why dost thou forsake mee?
A21001ô Lord, who is able to saue himselfe in thy presence?
A67824And what then must be the Character of those that always want Discretion in the main?
A67824But amidst all this, Where( says he) shall wisdom be found?
A67824But especially, how amazing must the fear of Death be to him that fears not God?
A67824But, in the mean time, what need of all this Sail to run against a Rock?
A67824How galling must the Fears about the things of this Life needs be to one who carries no eye to the Blessings of a future?
A67824How wonderfully will a man sometimes be affected at the hearing of a sudden noise in the Night?
A67824If it be reasonable to fear Disappointments, how much more to fear Him, whose Providence disposes the issue of all we project?
A67824If it be reasonable to fear Disgrace, how much more to fear Him, whose estimation imports more towards it than that of all the World beside?
A67824In a word, if it be reasonable to fear them that can kill the body, how much more him, who after he hath killed, can cast into hell?
A67824What needs the Pomp of all these excellent Qualities to be undone, when a Man may be undone less reproachfully without them?
A67824and where is the place of understanding?
A67824this night shall thy soul be required of thee; and then whose shall those things be that thou hast provided?
A62609And how little reason is there to glory in that, which is so frequently foil''d by an unequal strength?
A62609And now we may ask the Question which Job does, Where shall wisdom be found, and where is the place of understanding?
A62609And now what may God justly expect from us, as a meet return for his Goodness to us?
A62609And why should any man be proud of his danger, of that which one time or other may be the certain and only cause of his ruin?
A62609God forbid?
A62609How art thou cut down to the ground that didst weaken the Nations?
A62609How art thou fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, Son of the morning?
A62609How hard a matter is it to be truly wise?
A62609I proceed to consider, What it is that is matter of true glory?
A62609May we not appeal to God in this, as Abraham did in another Case?
A62609Now can any man believe this, that hath any tolerable notion either of the Goodness or Justice of God?
A62609Or if by might we understand military force and power, how little likewise is that to be gloried in?
A62609Secondly, Because when knowledg and wisdom are with much difficulty in any competent measure attained, how easily are they lost?
A62609Secondly, When knowledg and wisdom are with great difficulty in any competent measure attain''d, how easily are they lost?
A62609That be far from thee, to do after this manner: Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right?
A62609Unless it be first naturally known that God is a God of truth, what ground is there for the belief of his Word?
A62609What?
A62609Wilt thou destroy the righteous with the wicked?
A62609art thou also become like unto us?
A62609hast thou seen the treasures of the Haile?
A62609the exactour of gold ceased?
A27862A Psalm of David, When the Ziphims came to Saul, and said,"Do''s not David hide himself with us?
A27862ARE you, as by your place you ought to be, True Judges of the Poor mans wrong?
A27862All this Thou know''st, For what is hid from Thee, Who dost my secret Sins and Follies see?
A27862Already we have tarried long enough, Now let our speed declare Our love; Why should we thus from Sion stay, And only be unhappy by our Own delay?
A27862And all their little Kings engage?
A27862And have at last their glory to his honour laid?
A27862And though a while He turn aside, Shall not one look revive us, and Our Race?
A27862Are they all thus, O God, all gone aside, As if from Thee they could their follies hide?
A27862Are they all thus, O God, all gone aside, As if from Thee they could their follies hide?
A27862Ask you who is this Glorious King?
A27862Ask you who is this Glorious King?
A27862BUT how shall Youth this Wisdom, Lord, attain, Unbridled Youth to choose His Way?
A27862Be little lower than Blest Angels made?
A27862But hold; why do I thus complain, Like one whom God do''s never hear?
A27862But to the Wicked the Almighty sayes,"What hast thou, wretch, to do with my just Wayes?"
A27862But what reward, false tongue, dost Thou desire, Or who to give''t Thee dares come nigh?
A27862But whence, said I, shall come my present aid,"Or who against my foes my Title will defend?
A27862But where''s my God, that I to him may sing?
A27862But who their Verse can to His Glory raise, Or as His Acts deserve, shew forth His Praise?
A27862But who to Edom will direct my Course, And entrance for me into Bozra force?
A27862But who to Edom will direct my course, And entrance for Me into Bozra force?
A27862But who, think''st thou, these actions will admire, Since thou''rt inspir''d by an infernal fire?
A27862But why hast Thou her hedge broke down?
A27862By looking through a false, and flattering glass, Acquit the Wicked, and condemn the Just?
A27862Can He flesh provide?"
A27862Destroi''d his Pallace, and his ramparts broke, And on his neck and Sions lai''d the yoak?
A27862Deus quis similis erit tibi?
A27862Do not I hate them, Lord, those who hate Thee, And are not they my Enemies, Who in their rage against Thee rise?
A27862Domine quid multiplicati,& c. I. LOrd, how are they increast who trouble me?
A27862Eternal Minde, should we each Act of Thine Recount, and mention every thing, At which of Thy Great works should we begin?
A27862Expound my Statutes, or declare my Truth?"
A27862For all the Springs of Mercy are in Thee; And can I want, while I upon Thee rest, Whose Word alone commands deliv''rance to th''Opprest?
A27862For can God, said I, or the Holy One,"Be joyn''d with them, who set up mischief by a Law?"
A27862For ever shall Thy Wrath devour like fire, And in it''s flames Thy ancient Love expire?
A27862For if Thou once shouldst be severe, What heart quakes not, when God begins, To judge, and sets up His Tribunal there?
A27862For if that Greatness awe us here, What would it do, came not so vast a space between?
A27862God has enough to Sion done, Hold, and prepare Thee Babylon for Thy end, What mayst Thou fear, if thus He serves His Own?
A27862HOw long, O God, shall I forgottenly, As one cast from Thy memory?
A27862HOw long, my God, wilt Thou thus hide Thy face, And thus withdraw the presence of Thy grace?
A27862He sees how partially you sentence pass; And will you alwayes wrong your trust?
A27862He sees the Righteous and the Wicked too; Without His help, what can the Righteous do?
A27862His Mercies have been ever sure, His Truth for ever shall endure, What can we less, when He so much do''s give?
A27862Hold Babylon — where will thy rage extend?
A27862How could it else be that they durst appear, Whose guilt had added horror to their fear?
A27862How could that be else, which mine eyes have seen?
A27862How did they tempt Him in the Wilderness?
A27862How do the wicked tremble, when the Just Secure in all his Fears is made?
A27862How full of Majesty, and Fear, When from them the Besiegers steal away?
A27862How little did they mind His Mighty Hand, Then conquering, when He only bid them stand?
A27862How long shall I forgotten be, As if indeed it were in vain Of all my mis''ries to complain, And I might sooner mount the rocks, than Thee?
A27862How long then will you plots devise, Against a Man, who is upright?
A27862How long wilt Thou be angry thus Both with Our Prayers, Great God, and us?
A27862How long, my God, shall He unpunisht go, And then most prosper, when he most do''s Thee offend?
A27862How many, Lord, against me rise, For Thy sake are my Enemies, Yet would perswade me I am so to Thee?
A27862I look, and sigh, and wait, O, come away, Why should my En''my triumph, when Thou dost but stay?
A27862I''th''midst of fears is not afraid, But has his heart as fixed as his Trust?
A27862I, who no less am Thy great care,"Since equally round both encamp''d Thy Angels are?
A27862If I were hungry, why should I tell Thee,"When the Earth''s fulness all belongs to Me?"
A27862Let them be vagabonds, and begg their bread, And have have no certain place to hide, or rest their head?
A27862Lord, what is Man, that Thou should''st mindfull be Of one, who do''s so seldom think of Thee?
A27862MY God, who shall Thy Holy Mount ascend, And in Thy House his life and praises spend?
A27862MY God, why do''s my God thus ever stay, And to my rescue make no hast?
A27862Made voi''d Thy Cov''nant, and to th''Earth flung down( Snatcht from His Royal Head) the Sacred Crown?
A27862Many and fearfull things Thy hand has done; And whose can with Thy works compare?
A27862My God, what are my years to Thee, said I?"
A27862Nor did they closely think, but speak their Sins, And with vile Mouth the Murmurer thus begins;"Can He give Bread too?
A27862Nothing but Manna?
A27862Or can the World''s just Ruler partial be, Or God Himself know nothing, who at first taught thee?
A27862Or if I eat, must Thou needs with''t acquainted be?"
A27862Or rapine to its party conquer''d virtue draw,"Against the Just together to conspire,"And doom the Innocent, and guilty to one fire?
A27862Or rather do you not his suit prolong, And then bind o''re, when you should set him free?
A27862Or what Almighty Numbers can confine The Love, and Providence Divine?
A27862Or what am I Thou on me set''st so great a price, But little in my Own, and less in others eyes?
A27862Or what made frighted Jordans Spring Swoone and keep all his waters in, Like spirits scarce able to secure the Heart?
A27862Or what my age compar''d with Thine,"If e''re my Noon is reach''t I dye?"
A27862Or who among the mighty Sons of Earth, Is like to Thee, who gav''st their Mother Birth?
A27862Or wilt Thou alwayes thus Thy hand recall, That Hand where all Our succours lie, And only lift it from our sight on high?
A27862Prevent my evil day with Cares, To leave a Curse, and sorrow to my Heirs?
A27862Say to the Lord,"How mighty is Thy Power, Which even Thy Enemies must unforc''t confess?
A27862Shall Justice, and Oppression share the Throne?"
A27862Shall his vile mouth for ever thus defame, Thy Sacred, and Unutterable Name?
A27862Shall in the Grave Thy Praise improve,"Sung there, where silence has for ever been?"
A27862Shall it be ever thus, and will Thine eyes, Those Mis''ries, which they see us bear, despise?
A27862Shall the Dead rise, and praise Thee, or Thy love,"Be in the Land of Darkness seen?"
A27862Shall then His flock no longer be His Care, But more His rage, than once His love they were?
A27862Shall they escape unpunish''t in their wayes, And in Prosperity spend all their dayes?
A27862Since God''s my trust, whom need I fear?
A27862Sion, more glorious than the Hills of Bey, How excellent dost Thou appear?
A27862Speaking hard things of what he do''s not know, And make to patient Heav''n his blasphemies ascend?
A27862That Thou hast cast off, and abhor''d Thy King, As if he never had anointed been?
A27862The Earth Thou hear''st and why not me?
A27862The greater''s done, and wilt not do the less?
A27862Then to Thee, Lord, again I cry''d,"What profit is there in my blood,"If in the pit I must abide,"Can Thy praise there be understood?"
A27862Think''st Thou that such gross meats as these,"Bulls blood, or flesh my taste do please,"And are fit things my anger to appease?"
A27862This Thou hast said, O God, and thus hast sworn, How comes it then His Kingdome is all torn?
A27862This poor man to Thee cry''d,"And Thou heard''st him, why then am I deny''d?"
A27862Thou hast exalted it, and why not I?
A27862Thou know''st my grief, how tears have been my food, When my insulting Foes have cry''d,"Now where''s your God?
A27862To take my Word into thy mouth?"
A27862Ut quid repulisti in finem,& c. I. Shall We for ever then be cast off thus, And will Our God no more remember Us?
A27862V. But who shall Sion''s Mount ascend, Be counted worthy there his life to spend, And undisturb''d may at thy Altar, Lord, attend?
A27862V. How long, Dear God, shall Our Proud Enemy Not us alone, but Thy Great Power defy?
A27862V. See how they trembling stand, Receive the charge, and finish the Command, And to the great Tribunall bring the shakled band?
A27862V. Than Mesech can a place more savage be, Where all to Peace sworn Enemies are, And for Her sake are so to me?
A27862V. Then whither shall I from Thy Presence fly?
A27862WHat makes this stir?
A27862What Flesh can in His sight be just, Or to His breath expose its dust?
A27862What a beast was I then, Lord to repine?
A27862What ail''d the Sea, that it should backward start?
A27862What more accepted Flame to Heaven can rise,"Than an whole Synagogue for Sacrifice?"
A27862What profit''s it to hoard up endless store Of wealth for others, and my self be Poor?
A27862What shall I bring and yield the Lord, For all His Favours shown to me?
A27862What signs in Pharaohs coast He for them wrought, And gave deliverance e''re He scarce was sought?
A27862When against me they throw their poyson''d darts, And in their rage their bows do bend, Or let them be too weak the shafts to send?
A27862When on the streams He layes His Chain, And Captive Floods do''s bind, What Power can set them free again, Till He send out His Wind?
A27862When shall Thy wrath and jealousie expire, Quench''d by that blood, which now but feeds the fire?
A27862Where are they?
A27862Where dark oblivion uncontroll''d do''s reign,"And dismal Horror riots o''re the empty Plain?
A27862Who''s Lord o''re us, with dev''lish mouth they say,"Or who is He we should obey?"
A27862Why did the mountains fly?
A27862Why do the People rage?
A27862Why dost Thou thus Thy face in trouble hide?
A27862Why ran the Hills?
A27862Why should my Enemy encrease his pride, With Thee, and conquest on his side?
A27862Will God be alwayes angry, ever chide With them, who daily seek His Face?
A27862Wilt Thou from me Thy face for ever hide?
A27862Wilt Thou no period to my griefs allow, But fresh afflictions on me throw, Which I as little as Thy wrath can bear?
A27862Would you have life, and happy dayes?
A27862Yet who, say they, What God do''s hear?
A27862how long will you, in vain, God, and my Glory thus despise?
A65301Are we carried every day up to Heaven in a fiery Chariot of Love?
A65301Before I come to the Application, here''s a Question arises, — Why does God make Light to arise to his People, in an hour of Darkness?
A65301Does God make Light, and Joy, and Peace, to arise to the Righteous?
A65301Having done this, if you ask me yet further, what we must do in this time of Darkness, till God makes Light spring up to us?
A65301Is it thus with us?
A65301Jonah called the Whales belly, the belly of Hell; Why so?
A65301Let''s bring our Graces to the Touch- Stone: What Faith have we?
A65301Our Heart and Flesh cry out for the Living God?
A65301Pray observe: Mercy, what ca n''t it do?
A65301The fourth Inference is this: Does God cause Light to spring up to the Upright in all their Darknes?
A65301There ariseth Light in[ Darkness] What''s meant here by Darkness?
A65301What Love to God have we?
A65301What were the World without Light, but a Dark Prison?
A65301What''s meant by Light here?
A65301What''s the mixed Cup?
A65301What''s this Red Wine in the Cup?
A65301While God so delights in this Darling Attribute of Mercy, why should we despair?
A65301Who are here meant by the Upright?
A65301Who would ever have thought that God should have made a Caus ● way for his People to have marched through on, in the midst of the Sea?
A65301Why may not Mercy give the casting Voice for this Nation?
A65301Why may we not hope that the Morning- Star of Deliverance and Mercy may yet appear unto this Island?
A65301Why should we despair?
A65301Why then should we despond, or throw away our Anchor?
A65301Why( I say) should we despond, when''t is God''s great Project and Design, to lighten his Peoples Darkness?
A65301Why, what did Moses do?
A65301are we hid by Faith in the bleeding Wounds of Christ?
A65301does Conscience witness that we not only serve him, but love him?
A65301that God should have made Heaven a Grainary, to drop down Manna for his People to feed on?
A65301till Mercy comes riding to England in the Chariot of Salvation?
A65301who would not serve this God?
A65301— What was this Candle?
A27786Among the sons of mighty ones, who with him equall are?
A27786And dost not help me when my words a loud complaint do make?
A27786And from thy presence to remove, Lord, whither should I flye?
A27786And in their summe how passing great and numberlesse they be?
A27786And shall his spitefull blasphemy against thee ever last?
A27786And shall thine anger evermore like fire consume and waste?
A27786And shall thy kindled jealousie like fire still burne and waste?
A27786And shall thy wrath it selfe extend upon all ages thus?
A27786And who can shew such faithfulnesse, as doth encompasse thee?
A27786And why do I thus mourning go, oppressed with my foe?
A27786And why thy favour and thy face dost thou thus hide from me?
A27786And why with vexing thoughts art thou disquieted in me?
A27786And ye that foolish are and rude, at length this wisdome learne?
A27786And, Lord, how long yet shall we see say, the wicked to rejoyce?
A27786Art thou disquieted in me?
A27786Contend not I against them all, against thee that arise?
A27786For how often doe wee see a sick soule to begin a Psalme, even in the belly of Hell, and yet end it in Heaven?
A27786For, shall the dust thee glorifie?
A27786HOw long, Lord, shall I ever thus of thee forgotten be?
A27786His tender mercie ● … in his wrath, wholly shut up hath he?
A27786How long thy favour and thy face wilt thou thus hide from me?
A27786How long triumph and boast shall they that work iniquity?
A27786How long yet shall mine enemy thus triumph over me?
A27786How wonderfull O Lord, say ye, in 〈 ◊ 〉 thy works thou art?
A27786I Trust in God, then to my soule how dare ye thus to say, Unto your mountain as a bird escape, and flie away?
A27786I le knowledge into man doth breathe, and shall himselfe not know?
A27786In the land of forgetfulnesse who shall thy justice know?
A27786Lord, when will thou amend this geare?
A27786MY God, my God, what is the cause that thou dost me forsake?
A27786MY shepheard is the living Lord, and he that doth eo feed; How can I then lack any thing whereof I stand in need?
A27786O Mighty man, in wickednesse why dost thou b ● … ast with pride?
A27786OLord, within thy Tabernacle, who shall inhabit still?
A27786Or else so much desire to seed on goats out of thy fold?
A27786Or from the power of the grave, what man his soule can free?
A27786Or in the Highest can there be knowledge of things below?
A27786Or passe into thy holy place, there to continue still?
A27786Or shall the dead arise, and here thy glorious praises spread?
A27786Or shall thy loving graciousnesse be mention''d in the grave?
A27786Or son of man, that thou of him so great account dost make?
A27786Or who shall rid me from their hand, that wicked works maintaine?
A27786Or whom wilt thou receive to dwell in thy most holy Hill?
A27786Or, what the son of mortall man, that thou dost him consider?
A27786Sith God doth giveme strength& might, why should I be affraid?
A27786THe Lord is both my health& light, shall man make me dismaid?
A27786That they my people eate like bread?
A27786That those who passe upon the way, this vine do pluck and waste?
A27786The eye he only form''d, and then shall he not clearly see?
A27786The promise of the Holy One, shall it ● … aile evermore?
A27786WHy art thou, Lord, so long from us ▪ in all this danger deep?
A27786WHy did the Gentiles madly rage against the worlds great King?
A27786What to thee done shall be, Thou false tongue of the liar?
A27786Where mischiefes most unrighteously for lawes enacted be?
A27786Who can set forth sufficiently, and all his praises tell?
A27786Who into Edom will me guide, to enter conquering?
A27786Who into Edom will me guide, to enter conquering?
A27786Whose dwellings far above the world so high exalted are?
A27786Why did the people of the Jewes imagine a vain thing?
A27786Why dost thou draw thy hand a- backe, and hide it in thy lap?
A27786Why doth thine anger kindle thus at thine owne pasture sheep?
A27786Why doth thy talk my Law allow, thy deeds deny the same?
A27786Why for th''oppression of my foe thus mourning walk I now?
A27786Why hidest thou thy face from us, when times of trouble are?
A27786Why wander ye in vanitie, and follow after lies?
A27786Will he no more extend his grace, and shew his favour never?
A27786X. O Lord, why from thy servants sight now standest thou so farre?
A27786YE Rulers, that are put in trust, to judge of wrong and right: Be all your judgements true and just, not knowing gift, or might?
A27786Ye little hills, why did ye leap and skip like little lambs?
A27786Ye rolling waves of Jordans floud, why ran ye backwardly?
A27786and when wilt thou fulfill Thy promise made to Israel from out of Sion Hill?
A27786and with how great affection?
A27786besides him there is none; And to his Church, who is a rocke, except our Lord alone?
A27786may I yet live to see When thou wilt judgement execute on those that trouble me?
A27786shall continually thy wrath against us last?
A27786shall dust thy truth make knowne?
A27786shall thy wrath ever last?
A27786verse 10 But who of glory is the King?
A27786verse 10 He that the Nations chastiseth, shall not he chastise now?
A27786verse 10 How long, Lord, shall the enemy at thee reproaches cast?
A27786verse 10 Into the Citie fortifi''d, who will me safely bring?
A27786verse 10 Like to a sword among my bones their sharp reproaches be; While daily say my foes to me Thy God, now where is he?
A27786verse 10 Why shall the heathen men, when us so low cast downe they see, Say to thy great dishonour thus, Their God, now where is he?
A27786verse 103 O what a sweetnes, from thy words into my taste doth passe?
A27786verse 11 And thus they say, How can it be that God doth all things know?
A27786verse 11 I said in my distresse and feare, that all men liars be; verse 12 What shall I pay the Lord for all his benefits to me?
A27786verse 11 O why art thou cast down, my soule ▪ why thus with griefe opprest?
A27786verse 11 O wilt thou make thy works appear, and wonders to the dead?
A27786verse 11 The thoughts within mans heart and mind, the Lord doth know and see?

A27786verse 17 How precious also are thy thoughts, O glorious God to me?
A27786verse 18 These things how long, Lord, wilt thou see?
A27786verse 19 Against the Lord himself they spake, and said prophanely thus, A table in the wildernesse can God prepare for us?
A27786verse 19 As in a moment how are they to desolation brought?
A27786verse 2 In heart and mind how long shall I with care tonnented be?

A27786verse 3 How long shall those that wicked be, in pride lift up their voice?
A27786verse 3 If the foundations be destroi''d, and might, right overturne; Herein what can the righteous doe, but humbly pray and mourne?
A27786verse 3 If thou, Lord, shouldst strictly s ● … an, And marke iniquities; T ● … n what 〈 ◊ 〉 of mortall man Can stand before thine eies?
A27786verse 3 If, Lord, thou strictly shouldst inquire, and mark iniquities; Lord, who shall dare to stand before thy pure all- seeing eies?
A27786verse 3 Lord, what is man, that thou of him dost so much knowledge take?
A27786verse 3 My soule is troubled very sore, and vexed vehemently; But, Lord, how long wilt thou delay to cure my misery?
A27786verse 3 My teares of sorrow are become my meat both night and day; While unto me continually, Where is thy God, they say?
A27786verse 3 O mortall men, how long will ye my glory thus despise?
A27786verse 3 To hurt a man why study ye?
A27786verse 3 What shall be giv''n to thee?
A27786verse 3 What shall thy false tongue bring or give to thee, O slanderer?
A27786verse 3 Who is the man, O Lord, that shall ascend into thy hill?
A27786verse 31 For who is God, except the Lord?
A27786verse 4 But the Lords sweet and holy songs sing fitly how shall we; When captives in a forraine land we among heathen be?
A27786verse 4 For they say still, We will prevaile, our tongues shall us extoll: Our tongues are ours, we ought to speak, what Lord shall us controll?
A27786verse 4 How long hard things shall these men and utter cruelty?
A27786verse 4 These workers of iniquity are they so blinded all?
A27786verse 4 With this great Lord and God who dareth to compare?
A27786verse 40 How often did they him provoke within the wildernesse: And in the desart did him grieve with their rebelliousnesse?
A27786verse 47 How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thy selfe?
A27786verse 48 Remember well how short a time I shall on earth remaine; If life be spent in griefe, why then are all men made in vaine?
A27786verse 49 What man is he that liveth here, and death shall never see?
A27786verse 5 But from thy mercy and thy grace my hope shall not depart?
A27786verse 5 For of thee in the house of death they no remembrance have: Who with his tongue shall give thee thanks that sleepeth in the grave?
A27786verse 5 How long, Lord?
A27786verse 5 Lord God of hosts, with heart and tongue, we daily pray to thee; And with thy peoples praier how long, Lord, angry wilt thou be?
A27786verse 5 O why art thou cast down, my soul?
A27786verse 5 The Lord himselfe is on my side, affraid I will not be; When God is on my side, what hurt can man then do to me?
A27786verse 5 These workers of iniquity are they so blinded all, That they my people eat like bread?
A27786verse 5 What ail''d thee, sea, as all amaz''d so suddenly to flye?
A27786verse 5 Why art thou then cast down, my soul?
A27786verse 5 Why should I, that redeemed am, in ill daies feare or doubt: When close my sins do follow me, and compasse me about?
A27786verse 5 Why, shall thine anger never end, but still proceed on us?
A27786verse 50 Thy former loving kindnesses, O Lord, where be they now?
A27786verse 6 For in the heavens to the Lord who may himselfe compare?
A27786verse 6 To render thankes unto the Lord how great a cause have I?
A27786verse 6 Wilt thou not us to life restore, and quicken us, that we Who are thy people evermore in thee may joyfull be?
A27786verse 6 Ye mountains great, what was the cause that ye did skip like rams?
A27786verse 7 Behold, their mouths belch cruelty, and in their lips are swords; For who, say they, is here so nigh, that he can heare our words?
A27786verse 7 But who shall give the people health?
A27786verse 7 From thy all- seeing Spirit to go, what place seek out should I?
A27786verse 7 Shall they by their iniquity escape from judgement free?
A27786verse 7 Thou, even thou, Lord, most great in might, art he whom all should fear; And who dares stand before thy sight, if once thy wrath appeare?
A27786verse 7 Will God, said I, still hide his face, and cast me off for ever?
A27786verse 8 And, Lord, for what now do I wait, what here can profit me?
A27786verse 8 As well those that sweet singers were, as those that players be?
A27786verse 8 But who of glory is the King?
A27786verse 8 For ever is his mercy gone, which I have seen before?
A27786verse 8 Lord God of hosts, a mighty Lord, like thee what one can be?
A27786verse 8 O Lord our God, who mighty works thus with thy hand didst frame, How excellent in all the earth is thy most glorious Name?
A27786verse 8 Thou seest how oft they made me flee, and on my teares dost look: Them in a bottle keep by thee; are they not in thy book?
A27786verse 8 Ye brutish of the multitude, can ye not this discerne?
A27786verse 82 Mine eies do faile, while on thy word they wait, and thus I say: Oh when wilt thou me comfort, Lord ▪ why dost thou thus delay?
A27786verse 84 How many are thy servants daies?
A27786verse 9 And I will say to God my rock, Why me forget''st thou so?
A27786verse 9 Into the City fortisi''d who will me safely bring?
A27786verse 9 Is''t true that God forgotten hath now gracious to be?
A27786verse 9 O by what meanes his way and life clean shall a young man make?
A27786verse 9 The Lord did plant the eare of man, and beare then shall not he?
A27786verse 9 Think''st thou that I do need thy cattell young or old?
A27786verse 9 What gaine is in my bloud, if I unto the pit go downe?
A27786verse 97 How dearly do I love thy law?
A27786what doth disquiet thee?
A27786what ● … hould discourage thee?
A27786why dost thou stay and pause?
A626056. says God there, I hearkened and I heard, but they spake not aright; no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done?
A62605And again, O Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean?
A62605And at last, when nothing would do, with what difficulty and reluctancy does God deliver them up into the hands of their Enemies?
A62605And can any of us be so obstinate and hard- hearted, as not presently to resolve to repent and return, and to meet the compassions of such a Father?
A62605And can it be now wise to revive them, and to take them up again?
A62605And how can we chuse but dread lest their Fate should overtake us, the Example of whose Faults and Follies we do in so many things so nearly resemble?
A62605And how glad is he when any good man will step in and interpose to stay his hand?
A62605And what an infatuation was this?
A62605For who is fit to interpose in such hot and fierce differences?
A62605How great was it to the old World, when the long suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, for the space of an hundred and twenty years?
A62605How loth is God that things should come to this?
A62605How shall I deliver thee Judah?
A62605How shall I give thee up Ephraim?
A62605How shall I make thee as Admah?
A62605I proceed to the Second Observation from the Text, namely, What is the only proper and effectual means to prevent the ruine of a sinful People?
A62605O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee?
A62605O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved; how long shall vaine thoughts lodge within thee?
A62605O Judah, what shall I do unto thee?
A62605So long I remember; and in all that space how very few years pass''d over us without some great Calamity and dismal Event?
A62605What a conflict is here?
A62605What can be imagin''d more slow, and mild, and merciful, than the proceedings of the Divine justice against a sinful People?
A62605Will nothing but sad and bitter experience be an admonition to us?
A62605Will nothing but the last necessity and extremity of things bring us to our selves and teach us wisdom?
A62605how shall I set thee as Zeboim?
A62605that is, how long wilt thou delude thy self with vaine hopes of escaping the judgments of God by any other way than by repentance?
A62605what tenderness and yerning of his bowels towards them?
A62605when shall it once be?
A62605when the same danger in some degree, and from the same implacable Enemies, still hovers over us?
A62605who can do it without danger, or with any hopes of success?
A70569And what if it do?
A70569Behold, the Lord shall come, and who shall abide the day of his comming?
A70569But how will the Prophecy be made good, if the Seventieth Week be not compleat?
A70569But how( will you say) will an Army of Abominations be made an Army of Gentiles?
A70569But who is this Desolater, or Maker of Desolations, who should command over this Wing of Abominations, and bring these Gentiles against the Holy City?
A70569Had S. Luke any reference to this, when he speaks of Jerusalem compassed with an army?
A70569If they be Substantives in statu constructo, were they not, or may they not be so in absoluto?
A70569Months raign of Smerdis?
A70569what other Army could such a one lead, but Gentiles?
A67234And how then do they approve themselves to be his Servants, that all along go contrary to these his just and equal Commands?
A67234And now what shall we render unto the Lord for all the benefits he hath done unto us?
A67234But then what will become of us in the other World, if our Life be not spent in the Service of God in this?
A67234He therefore having such and so great Right, and so many, and so strong Titles to our Service, how can we with- hold it from him?
A67234How can they hope to enter into their Master''s Joy?
A67234How do they think, without all Truth and Reason?
A67234If we are obliged to give unto Caesar the things that are Caesar''s, why should we not give unto God what doth so justly belong unto him?
A67234If we thus requite the Lord, may we not be truly called in the Language of Moses, Foolish people and unwise?
A67234Shall we repay all his Goodness with disrespect to him, or disregard of him?
A67234With what readiness do Men usually obey the Commands of their Masters, according to the Flesh, even sometimes in wicked and unrighteous Actions?
A67234how do they speak?
A67234or with those wicked Men in Job, What is the Almighty, that we should serve him, and what profit shall we have if we pray unto him?
A67234shall we slight his Commands, and be disobedient unto his Will, or turn our backs upon him, and refuse to do him Service?
A61477Are not these the Seal, to which these Nations, as Wax are turned, and changed?
A61477Are we stil upon the Lees of Carnality, and Corruption?
A61477Behold I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?
A61477Behold, the Earth, the Air, the Waters, the Fire, the Heavens see the Lord, and are troubled; shal his Saints be insensible of him?
A61477Can( said he) any good come out of Nazareth?
A61477Concussions, and Prodigyes in al the Elements, Earth- quakes, Tydes changing their Courses, Meteors of al sorts in the Ayre, Devouring Fires?
A61477Could one Jacob thus subdue the Heart of rough Esau?
A61477Did this satissie Jacob?
A61477God challengeth al the Nations: Let them bring forth their witnesses, who among them can shew us former things?
A61477Hath not every change since that time been, as a fire, to take away the Dross from the Silver?
A61477Hath not the Lord many Witnesses in these Nations, yea, here present?
A61477Hath this been your temper, when the wisdom of State, or the season hath made it seem necessary to you to handle any one of Christs Flock roughly?
A61477How should our mouths be filled with laughter, and praises for this New thing, which God doth, this New day, which God bringeth forth from Heaven?
A61477How should we love Jesus Christ for the Savor of his new, and good Oyntments; in which he powrs forth himself into the midst of us?
A61477How should we rellish this feast of new delicacys, which the Lord sets forth for us?
A61477How then is that day of the Lord risen upon us, which is to try al things?
A61477Know ye not, that ye are the Temple of God?
A61477Now it shal spring forth, shal ye not see it?
A61477They spake against God, they said, Can God furnish a Table in the Wilderness?
A61477To what will ye liken God, and to what likeness wil ye compare him?
A61477What Comets?
A61477What Comforts is this to afflicted ones?
A61477What Yearnings, and turnings of Bowels after a Re- union?
A61477What are the Meltings, the Weepings over the Divisions among the Saints?
A61477What frequent Eclypses of Sun, and Moon have we seen?
A61477What hath the answer been?
A61477What is this New thing?
A61477What unvailings of new, and extraordinary glorys do these Expressions speak forth?
A61477When the two disciples wer going to Emaus,& Jesus Christ in the midst of them; they said; did not our hearts burn within us, while he talked with us?
A61477Where then are your cryes of Joy?
A61477Who can be sure of their Faith, that it shal not fail them, when it hath failed these?
A61477You then in this Nation whose Souls love the Lord Jesus, is your Desire come?
A61477hath it been hard, and grievous to you to act this strange part, and to hide your affections?
A61477have you inwardly, and privately melted into tears while you have openly thundered out hard speeches?
A61477have your Bowels been turned within you?
A61477how can we, or you tel that your impressions are not delusions?
A61477or shal our spirits be held from rejoycing, and dancing in this Light, while its season lasteth?
A61477or when shal I know that my Faith is thus sound, and saving?
A61477what Humiliation in themselves, what Exaltation in Christ, unto all?
A61477what Light, and Direction to States- men?
A61477what allurement to sinners?
A61477what ground of Hope, and rejoycing to Beleevers?
A61477what way is there to attain to a sound and saving Faith, which can not be overthrown?
A01850A Father?
A01850A wrong receiu''d, or thought one?
A01850After this Act, why flowes the water more?
A01850Am I as Man that I should change?
A01850Am I sinnes Aduocate?
A01850And Wrath, are you no more discreet withall Then quarrell with a woman?
A01850And art thou dead, he cryes?
A01850And can this sinne be theirs?
A01850And can we yet intreat him to be kind, To alter his, when wee''l not change our mind?
A01850And can you call this but Infirmity?
A01850And did I free them from th''Aegyptian Onely to find them graues in Canaan?
A01850And when your industry might doe as well, Will ye inforce God to a Miracle?
A01850And who had made him so, shee''d know, but she, When with his God he claim''d Aequality?
A01850Appeas''d for sinnes to learne them?
A01850Are any glad to fight?
A01850Are then your sisters, daughters, wifes too chast?
A01850Are they so good?
A01850Are we the onely faulty?
A01850At last Lust rises, and becalmes him thus, VVhy doe you loose your wrath, great Prince, on vs?
A01850Blessings were ne''re intended for our harme, Why doe we hearken then to the fond charme Of such temptations?
A01850But I desire, deere Countrymen, to know, VVhose is the blood that we must lauish so?
A01850But are not we true Beniamites in this, And aggrauate what ere we doe amisse By a new act?
A01850But can I disobey what it hath pleas''d Heau''n to command me?
A01850But hee''l not loose her: wilt thou seeke her then That does fly thee?
A01850But how were they so long time innocent?
A01850But suppose that he is heard, By the sprouting of his beard, And he hath what he doth seek The soft cloathing of the Cheeke: Yet would he stay here?
A01850But what new horror ceizeth me?
A01850But when Our Leuite was inquisitiue, what men Fill''d vp that Princely dwelling?
A01850But who can tell the following Prodigy?
A01850But who did tutor them to this offence?
A01850Call it — O what?
A01850Can she teach any vertue?
A01850Can we command our sinnes so easily, And faint at a poore Feauer?
A01850Can you behold these eyes without a teare?
A01850Can you with patience longer thinke they were, And are not the worlds wonder?
A01850Carries it any likelyhood; or can It sinke into the fancy of a man, That when they were opprest, they should oppresse?
A01850Commend I would, but what?
A01850Did Sodome moue, and can not Israel bow?
A01850Doe I excuse them then to please the time, And onely make an error of a Crime?
A01850Doe not ye know, I am the raigning Crime, Most generall, and most lofty of the time?
A01850Doe we not call Whom onely stripes can master, bestiall?
A01850Doe you thinke no blow Can fasten on him, or d''ye meane to proue If that the stones are riualls in your Loue?
A01850Does there not in each breast lye Both our soule and Enemy?

A01850Haue you indented with the stones you throw To misse the Leuite?
A01850He thinkes she sleepes, and therefore louder cryes, Why doe we dally here?
A01850How large are our desires?
A01850How little could I guesse in any part That God in such sort did desire the Heart?
A01850How scarcely to be counted passages In my large story?
A01850How was this Prodigy of Desire eu''n spent Before it was exprest?
A01850How wert thou Nilus bloudy''d into Red, Thy waters as vnknowne as is thy Head?
A01850If I doe whet a sword, shall it be blunt, And haue no direr sharpenesse then t''was wo nt?
A01850If I pronounce my wrath against a Land Shall that continue, and my word not stand?
A01850Is goodnesse in a wrinckle?
A01850Is it iniustice to suppresse our pride, To bring vnto our eyes what we would hide, Eu''n from our selues, our close deformities?
A01850Is this their Crime alone, or doe not all Partake as of their fault, so of their fall?
A01850Is this your Iustice heau''ns?
A01850Let me inquire of men, as yet not wild, Whether they thinke themselues Lords of their child?
A01850Let me inquire of these, if they haue read Any such crimes where people had an head?
A01850Let them be Afraid at leastwise of the misery, Who slight the sinne: why should a beauteous face Make my soule foule?
A01850Must he feele other Flames?

A01850No speech without a tongue?
A01850O who would not be mad, To thinke vpon that madnesse?
A01850O why Chose he not rather to doe well, and Dye?
A01850Or are you sorry that as yet no wast Deformes your richer grounds?
A01850Or did the Desart make them thus to stray, And cause them loose their Manners with the Way?
A01850Or hath he offerd incense so long time For Iudah''s fault, that he hath gain''d their crime?
A01850Or vnto whom wouldst thou haue welcome been?
A01850Or when was this inuasion made?
A01850Or, may not God, to shew how he does prize His seruants labours, make them thus appeare, As does the Sunne after a cloud, more cleare?
A01850Our study not our Nature, and could these Teach any other thing besides disease In manners?
A01850Poore men, doe you lament That still you are as safe as innocent?
A01850SVch crimes amongst the Israelites?
A01850Shall I be bad because another''s faire?
A01850Shall these be ioyn''d in punishment?
A01850Shall they indent with him?
A01850She now suspects her Leuites iealousie, And hasts home to her fathers house: ô why Left''s thou that house?
A01850Should I inuoke Heau''ns ayde?
A01850Sinne was child to Night, How dares he then approach and blast the light?
A01850Sodome in Iudah?
A01850Stands the Earth still?
A01850Such Revolution did you euer see?
A01850Teach vs our right to him, but then to you What shall we giue?
A01850The Parellell is easie; was''t not thus, When Heau''n was pleas''d to be as kind to vs?
A01850To me The Number hath a more Facility For credit, then the Time; doe we not finde, That Israel wanting Iudges was assignde To bondage, as to Anarchy?
A01850To these I need no other answer find: Shall we be foolish because heau''n is kind?
A01850Twelue made of one?
A01850VVHen will Vice faile?
A01850VVas it for this I did so oft repeat VVonders before him, wonders of so great Exuberance of powre, so highly done, That they contemne all admiration?
A01850VVhat a small portion of my acts were these?
A01850VVhence sprung this Singularity?
A01850Vs your sworne vassals?
A01850Was then a Father to be visited When thou wert made a Mother?
A01850Was this the heau''nly promise?
A01850Were you not In Aegypt once?
A01850What name can well expresse The miracle of humane guiltinesse?
A01850What noyse there was?
A01850What shall I doe, what course is to be tryde When safe I can not goe, nor safe abide?
A01850What should I say now?
A01850What though w''aue spent our paines not the right way?
A01850Whence comes this Courage to the Desperate?
A01850Whence is this daring?
A01850Whence is this fury?
A01850Wherefore was all this circumstance?
A01850Whether their seruants Masters?
A01850Which he decrees to punish: they would know Whether that once more they shall fight ▪ or no?
A01850Who could a greater miracle afford?
A01850Who gaue vs this strange power, can any tell, Not to be Bad, and yet not to be Well?
A01850Why did he so desire to shunne his Friend, And call that Misery, which was an End?
A01850Why does''t not staine, which alwaies clear''d before?
A01850Why should not mercy winne vs?
A01850Why should the bad be bold?
A01850Why then doe trifling miseries so grate Our minds, and make vs more vnfortunate Then heau''n intended?
A01850Why then doe we iniure Fate, When we will impute the date And expiring of our time, To be hers, which is our Crime?
A01850Why they doe cloath themselues?
A01850Wish we not our End?
A01850Yet what a glory can it be to thee That we are dead?
A01850Yet what is''t your graue Masters doe aduice Our sleepy Councell of?
A01850Your wrath vpon you followers?
A01850a sinne You''d warre against, O doe not then beginne To act a greater, as if you would see VVhether Iniustice aequall''d Luxury?
A01850alas, from thence Came the iniunction for this violence: Should I implore my fathers helpe?
A01850and an externall grace Bereaue me of my inward?
A01850and if there Might be found hope of rest for them that were But two more then the Family?
A01850and must I So strangely borne, somewhat more strangely dye?
A01850and say thus farre Thou mayst correct, but if thy iudgements are Of longer date, they are vniust?
A01850and that the Heathen see Thy anger on thy Children?
A01850and thence Doe estimate their childs obedience?
A01850and wherefore still You plead not then a liberty of will?
A01850and why desire When cold oppresseth them to choose a fire?
A01850and why they doe not hence Conclude rebellion against Prouidence?
A01850and worse, Mak''t a Pray''r which is a Curse?
A01850and yet how few Euents are answerable?
A01850and yet what not leaue due?
A01850can One that hath broke with honesty, be true To him that made her breake?
A01850can there be Ought learnt from her besides immodesty?
A01850can they onely toyle In sinnes, that preach against them?
A01850can we find That what does cloud the face, does cleanse the mind?
A01850does there no blood boyle Besides the Leuites?
A01850giue your selfe the fall?
A01850haue you then forgot That you were sometime strangers?
A01850nor readily can tell Whether this Reuelation should dwell Clos''d in my brest?

A01850or am I Pickt out for eminent Iniquity?
A01850or bee Fixt in this Maturity?
A01850or can ought be Mother of warre, beside Necessity?
A01850or does it stirre An anger in you, that the souldier Mowes not your Fields?
A01850or else are you The onely Tempter?
A01850or is his loue so fond, As of a courtesie to make a bond?
A01850or is it lost In your fraile memory, that when Israel crost The Desert out of Egypt, forty yeares Nor Taylors they imploy''d, nor Shoomakers?
A01850or like The sonne of man to threaten and not strike?
A01850or what shall I doe?
A01850or whether I goe on As counting it a Reuelation?
A01850or who rehearse Those misaduentures in an equall verse?
A01850or why They haue a Pride ere they haue Certainty?
A01850or why return''st thou euer?
A01850tell me why You will consent to dye?

A65466Do we think it any ways infamous to detect an High- way- man, or to seize him and bring him to Iustice?
A65466How can such Persons pray every day Lead us not into Temptation, when they themselves wilfully rush into the very mouth of it?
A65466Is it number that we want to encourage us?
A65466Is this our kindness to our Friend, or should we ever believe any Person to be ours who so basely deserted us?
A65466Now when Judgment thus eminently returns unto Righteousness, who is there that is upright in Heart but will gladly follow it?

A61603And can men then say the command is impossible when he hath promised an assistance sutable to the nature of the duty& the infirmities of men?
A61603And what then is wanting, but only setting our selves to the serious obedience of them, to make his commands not only not impossible, but easie to us?
A61603And wherewithall then wilt thou be able to dispute with God?
A61603Are the flames of another world such painted fires, that they deserve only to be laughed at, and not seriously considered by us?
A61603But is the Chair of Scorners at last proved the only chair of Infallibility?
A61603But what is it which the person who despises Religion, and laughs at every thing that is serious, proposes to himself as the reason of what he does?
A61603But who art thou O man, that thus findest fault with thy Maker?
A61603Did ever any yet, though never so wicked and profane themselvs, seriously commend another person for his rudeness and debaucheries?
A61603Do they think that we are all become such fools to take scoffs for arguments, and raillery for demonstrations?

A61603Hast thou no other plea for thy self, but that thy sins were fatal?
A61603Is it for men to live soberly, righteously and godly in this world?

A61603Is it to do as we would be done by?
A61603Is wit grown so schismatical& sacrilegious, that it can please it self with nothing but holy ground?
A61603Must those be the standard of mankind, who seem to have little left of humane nature, but laughter and the shape of men?
A61603Or is it as fatall for man to believe himself free when he is not so, as it is for him to act when his choice is determined?

A60354And now do you take up the Question, and bring it home to your selves, and propound it seriously to your own Souls: O my Soul, what have I done?
A60354And who is there that being as I am, would go into the Temple to save his Life?
A60354But the question is, Why do they so?
A60354But what is that which He will speak?
A60354But what multitudes take that lawless Liberty, which neither God nor Man allow?
A60354Dare you for all this meet and consult, conspire and contrive for the breaking of his Bands asunder, and the casting away his Cords from you?
A60354First, What is meant by Sion?
A60354Have not I anointed him with mine Holy Oyl, and will they spit in his Face?
A60354Have not I made my Son Ruler over them, and will they not reverence my Son?
A60354Have you not sometimes some secret Checks and inward Gripes?
A60354Have you so much forgotten me?
A60354He is given to be Head: By whom is he so given?
A60354He is in one mind, and who can turn him?
A60354How now?
A60354How shall I fill up my Place?
A60354How shall I improve my Time?
A60354How shall I make use of my Power?
A60354I answer, the Moral Law: But how?
A60354I have set up my King: And what, do they set themselves against him?
A60354I pray give me leave to ask, What have you done?
A60354If it be asked what is that oyl of gladness with which he is anointed?
A60354If you ask who those be that are here called his Fellows?
A60354Instead of a lovely, beautiful Face of Religion, what and how much of the Power of Ungodliness is visible and apparent among us?
A60354Is Christ anointed, constituted, and set up by God the Father, King upon his holy Hill of Sion?
A60354Is not my Will sufficiently declared?
A60354It shall come to pass in the latter days,( and hath he said it, and will he not do it?
A60354Oh that it may be so: but when is it so?
A60354Or what may be the import of that word setting?
A60354Or, the Hill of Gods holiness?
A60354Our first Question is this, What is meant by Sion?
A60354Our fourth Question is this, What God doth mean when he saith, He hath set his King upon his holy hill of Sion?
A60354Our second Question is this, Why is Sion called Gods holy Hill?
A60354Poor Creatures, they are busie as Bees; but what is it they would do if they could?
A60354Secondly, Why is Sion called Gods holy Hill?
A60354Should such a Man as I flee?
A60354Should such a Man as I, one that hath made such a Profession as I have done, one that is advanced to such a Place as I am in, do so or so?
A60354The question is, what was that hand- writing?
A60354The third Question we have to speak unto is this, Who is that King whom God hath set upon his holy hill of Sion?
A60354Thirdly, Who is that King, whom God hath set up there?
A60354Thus do you think with your selves, every one of you, Doth such and such a thing become me?
A60354Upon what Rock?

A60354What is that great thing which they are so earnestly bent upon?
A60354What is the import of that Particle in the Text, Yet?
A60354What is the matter with this mad besotted and unchristian World?
A60354What is to do here?
A60354What may we gather from thence?
A60354What mean they by their Raging, Plotting and Combining?
A60354What more than swinish Drunkenness?
A60354What now shall I do for this God?
A60354Why can not Men be quiet?
A60354Why do they combine and unite together against him?
A60354Why do they rage, and set their Wits at work?
A60354Why do they thus bid defiance to the God of Love, to the Prince of Peace?
A60354Why is all this stir and bustle?
A60354Will you study what you shall do for him?
A60354You may ask, what may be the meaning of that?
A60354and will these sorry contemptible Worms be wriggling and moving Disturbances?
A60354how amiable a thing is it for Kings to stand up for Christ, and Christ to stand at the right Hand of Kings?

A729964. doe manifest, but should in the appointed time, feele the power of his heauy, and wrathfull indignation?
A72996BVt for a conclusion, would wee know the cause, why all things doe so differently befall these two sorts of persons?
A72996For else why are men said to be blessed, because they be godly?
A72996I. Lord how are mine aduersaries encreased?
A72996The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom then should I be afraid?
A72996Therefore aboue all things let vs labour for Gods approbation: for if he iustifie, who can condemne?
A72996Why doe the people rage, and the people murmure in vaine?
A72996Why?]
A72996how many rise against me?
A72996how many rise vp in armes and open rebellion?
A72996in the day of wrath how shall other be ouerwhelmed with sorrowes?
A72996you are Iudges, and what more hainous then to contemne your iust decrees?
A67833And how comes it to pass then that our Shame is so Jealous and Quick in regard of Men, but so remiss and languishing in regard of God?
A67833And is not the knowledge of God sufficiently Awful, since He is most of all affronted by our Guilt?
A67833Can you say it is for Services already done?
A67833Do we not by seeking find such Images of things, which we have Spoken, Done, or Thought of several years before?
A67833He that formed the eye, shall not he see?
A67833He that planted the ear, shall not he hear?
A67833He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
A67833I my self, Your King, what a Temptation must I needs be to You?
A67833Is it not by seeing the Images or Impressions which those several Acts do produce within us?
A67833It is God that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
A67833Nay do not those Images frequently present themselves without our seeking, and make us see them whether we will or no?
A67833Now, is not that sin sufficiently known, of which we acknowledge that God does know it?
A67833Or whither shall I flee from thy Presence?
A67833So he calls it Blasphemy to think that God does not Regard what we do; How long shall the wicked blaspheme God, saying, thou God carest not for it?
A67833That Gods Omniscience carries in it the Power of such a Discovery is no Dispute; the Question is, Whether he actually will make such a Discovery?
A67833Were they Ashamed, when they had committed Abomination?
A67833Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
A60942And what strength doe we think would that give to the True Religion, that is able thus to establish a False?
A60942But here it may be replyed, are not truths of absolute and fundamentall necessity, very disputable: as the Deity of Christ, the Trinity of Persons?
A60942But how will you try that Spirit to be of God?
A60942But why have I produced all these examples of the Heathens?
A60942But will any say that this was to confesse Christ, or dye a Martyr?
A60942But you will say, What Government more sure and absolute than the Turkish, and yet what Religion more false?
A60942Can he be also Finite and Infinite, when to be finite is not to be infinite, and to be infinite not to be finite?
A60942Did ever any man quench his thirst, or satisfie his hunger with a Notion?
A60942Did ever any one live upon Propositions?
A60942For have not our Princes, as well as our Preists bin of the lowest of the People?
A60942Has not Parts and Abilities been reputed Enemies to Grace, and Qualities no wayes Ministeriall?
A60942Have not Coblers, Draymen, Mechanicks Governed, as well as reached?
A60942How are you Justified by an imputed Righteousness?
A60942How doe you know this is the sence of such a Scripture?
A60942If Godly, why doe they wallow and sleep in all the Carnalities of the world, under pretence of Christian liberty?
A60942If it was so fearfull when he looked his Denyer into Repentance, what will it be when he shall look him into Destruction?
A60942If this should come to pass, where would be their Religion?
A60942If to God, then God payes a Price to himself: and what is it else to require and need no satisfaction, then for one to satisfie himself?
A60942Is it to make these a ground of our Imitation?
A60942Is it yours before it is imputed, or not: if not( as we must say) is this to be Justified, to have that accounted yours, that is not yours?
A60942It is hard to maintaine the truth, but much harder to be maintained by it: could it ever yet feed, clothe, or defend its assernors?
A60942Nay have not they by Preaching come to Govern?
A60942Neither let any here reply, that it becomes not a Ministeriall spirit to undertake such a calling for reward?
A60942Now who knows how many Woes are crowded into this one sentence, I will deny him?
A60942Put again, did you ever hear of any man made rich or wise by imputation?
A60942Revilest thou Gods High Priest?
A60942Si negare sufficiat, quis erit Nocens?
A60942Then for his satisfaction, they will demand to whom this satisfaction is paid?
A60942Was ever that of Solomon more verified, that Servants have Rid, while Princes, and Nobles have gone on Foot?
A60942Was he not a man of parts and Wisdome?
A60942What was the cause of this?
A60942What( saies he) can the same Person be God and man?
A60942What( saies the Romanist, relye in matters of faith upon a private Spirit?
A60942Why doe they make religion ridiculous by pretending to Prophecy, and when their prophecies prove delusions, why doe they Blaspheme?
A60942Why?
A60942Yes, but he was poor: But was he not also succesfull as well as wise?
A60942You will say then, How shall we know when to confess, when to conceale a Truth?
A60942You will say then, Why are these places condemned?
A60942and is not Wisdome honourable?
A60942can we ascribe such attributes to the same thing, whereof one implyes a Negation and a Contradiction of the other?
A60942if they are not in themselves disputable, why are they so much disputed?
A60942the Creature and the Creator?
A60942what should be the reason?
A60942when did we see thee in our Courts, and despised or oppressed thee?
A60942when to wait for, when to decline Persecution?
A60942why then Righteous or Just?
A71286Can any be so blinde and voyd of understanding, as to expect any blessing or good at all from them who are the curse of the land?
A71286Doe yee judge uprightly, ô yee sons of men?
A71286How long( saith he) will yee imagine, or devise mischiefe?
A71286Now what state is not miserable where a Band of such wicked Counsellors rule and judge?
A71286Righteous( saith he) art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgements: Wherefore doth the wicked prosper?
A71286The Prophet Habakkuk useth greater boldnesse, saying, O Lord how long shall I cry unto thee, and thou dost not heare?
A71286What man can securely enjoy his lands, goods, liberty, or life?
A71286Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
A71286Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance?
A71286and what would they doe to his great name; but blaspheme it, and say, Where is their God?
A71286even cry out of violence, and thou dost not save?
A71286how would the enemy rage more against his holy Majesty?
A71286what peace or safety can be to any righteous man, if God doth not stop these Lyons mouthes, and extraordinarily protect him?
A5556036?
A55560Again, Doest thou love Christ( O Young man) above thy Estate or this present World?
A55560Again, Is Christ( O young Man) of more esteem unto thee than thy Life?
A55560All Creatures pay Homage unto him, and shall Man refuse?
A55560Am I not all over corrupt, from the Crown of the Head unto the sole of the Foot, full of wounds, bruises and putrifying Sores?
A55560Am I not( especially considering me in my Youth) as an untamed Beast?
A55560And how many have been brought to Ruine thereby?
A55560And shall I here expostulate with the Young man?
A55560And shall not we whom God hath endowed with Reason, and made capaces Religionis, capable of Religion?
A55560And thus our whole Life is crooked and perverse; hast thou gotten it made strait by a sincere Repentance and Reformation?
A55560And what a Cloud of young Worthies are here?
A55560And what are the Streams, compar''d to the Fountain; the Rivers to the Ocean, and the excellencies of the Creature to the Excellencies of the Creator?
A55560And where wilt thou go, Sinner?
A55560Angels desire it, the Spirit strives; Christs Invitation is, Come; the Gospel cries, Now; and what, will you rather listen unto Satan?
A55560Are Gods Smiles our Heaven, and his Frowns our Hell?
A55560Are Old things past away, and all things become New?
A55560Are the wayes of God unequal, his Demands impossible, his Commands intollerable?
A55560Art thou willing to give Christ the First- born of every Affection in thy Soul?
A55560As therefore you would tender your own safety, answer like the Eccho; Lord doest thou call for my Youth?
A55560But how few are there that make this their work, studying how to please God?
A55560By Sin we have Apostatiz''d from God; are we yet return''d unto him?
A55560Can Sin give rest, that is the greatest Evil in the world?
A55560Can that give Rest, that was the first and onely Cause and Founder of Hell?
A55560Can that give rest, that is the Cause of all the Confusions and Desolations that are in the world?
A55560Can that give rest, that makes us like the Devil, that restless Spirit?
A55560Can the Begger soon forget that hand which he constantly receives his Alms from?
A55560Can wicked Men be content to suffer for their Lusts, and will not ye suffer for Christ?
A55560Canst thou preferre Gods Glory before all Secular Interest whatsoever, and even deny thy very Life for him, if called thereunto?
A55560Doest thou love God above all things whatsoever?
A55560Doest thou love him above thy Relations, Estate, and very Life?
A55560Doest thou often revish thy Soul in calling Mercies past to mind, living upon Mercies present, and depending upon Mercies to come?
A55560Doest thou often think on the Mercies of God, so frequently and bountifully conferred on thee?
A55560Doest thou therefore, O my Soul, Remember thy Creator?
A55560Doth it become a Child when commanded, to dispute his Fathers Command?
A55560Doth not the Course of their Lives rather tend to the contrary?
A55560Doth the World lye nearer thy heart than Christ?
A55560Hast thou a New Eye?
A55560Hast thou a New Heart?
A55560Hast thou a New Will?
A55560Hast thou a new Appetite?
A55560Hast thou put thy Love to Christ in one Ballance, and thy Love to the World in another; and doth thy Love to Christ weigh down thy Love to the World?
A55560His Love to thee was stronger than Death, is thy Love to him stronger than Life?
A55560How can ye think then to prosper?
A55560How darest thou to say, that thou Remembrest God, when thou fearest him not, and hast but little dread of his Greatness in thy Heart?
A55560How is it then, that God is no more lov''d than he is, and that even some who profess Love unto him, do not love him above all things whatsoever?
A55560How little is Gods Favour now adayes esteemed of?
A55560How many are there that pick and cull their Duties, and so indeed serve not the will of God, but their own Choyce?
A55560How many years are past, in which thou wast not?
A55560How many, I fear,( especially Young men) may I find tardy in this?
A55560How stands it therefore with us?
A55560How then dost thou love Christ above all things whatsoever?
A55560Is he not our Sovereign, and have any gone on in a course of Rebellion against him, that did ever prosper?
A55560Is it commendable for a Child to obey his Earthly Father, how much more commendable is it then for us to Obey our Heavenly Father?
A55560Is it not a vain thing to stand it out with God, or contend with the Almighty?
A55560Is it not better to live than die, turn than burn?
A55560Is it not his Father that commands him, and therefore he must do it?
A55560Is it not in and by him that thou livest, movest and hast thy being?
A55560Is not the Aire which thou breathest in, his?
A55560Is not the Earth his, whose Fruits do nourish thee most plentifully?
A55560Is not the Night and Day his, whose Intercourses serve for thy Labour and Rest?
A55560Is there good Reason why we should Remember our Creator in the dayes of our Youth?
A55560Is there not a Necessity of Remembring our Creator, if we would prosper?
A55560My Youth, is it not full of Levity, Wantonness and Vanity?
A55560O take it then, and thank thee too; for what is there in me that should attract God, and make him accept of me?
A55560On the transitory things of this world the Soul often seeks for Rest, but finds it not, why?
A55560Shall God call for your Youth, and will you deny it?
A55560Shun Evil Company; Is it not an hard thing for a Bird to flie away that is taken in the Lime- twigs?
A55560Sixthly, If you have your Life prolonged, and the Means of Grace continued, yet if no more gales of the Spirit be afforded, what art thou the nearer?
A55560That answer the Lord with half- Obedience, like the Eccho, which makes not a perfect Respondence of the Voice, but of some part thereof?
A55560The Curse of the Law hangs on thee, why dost thou not satisfie its Demands, and Appeal to the Grace of God in Christ for freedom therefrom?
A55560The Devil he is for the prime of our Dayes, and God he is for the prime of our Dayes, and who hath the most right, God or the Devil?
A55560The Holy Scriptures are a Rule, hast thou measured thy Life by it?
A55560The Wind and Seas do obey him, and shall We turn Rebels?
A55560The prime of our Affections must God have; and indeed who deserves them more than He?
A55560This is too strict, say some; what need is there of it, say others?
A55560Thou fearest thy Father and Mother, thy Master, and such who have the Rule over thee; but doest thou fear thy Maker?
A55560Thy miseries( O Natural man) are many, great, and intolerable, why dost thou not endeavour to extricate thy self out of them?
A55560Verily, our selves have not so great a right unto our selves, as He?
A55560View often the Creation of the World; what Man in the World can forget God, that has himself and the whole Creation to contemplate at any time?
A55560What Worship and Adoration hath the Sun had?
A55560What sayest thou now, wilt thou resolve to think now and then on this precious Creator of ours?
A55560What sayest thou?
A55560Who can soon forget a holy God, that may read of him every day in the Holy Scriptures?
A55560Who lives to please God, but rather to displease him?
A55560Why can not we find in our hearts to obey our Father, Creator and Lord?
A55560Why, is not God the Father of us all by Creation, and are we not obliged to Obey him?
A55560Would it not be more advantagious to lay down the Weapons, and crie peccavi, than to wrestle and be foyl''d, fight and be kill''d?
A55560You can not not serve God too soon, why then do you not begin, run, and keep on in that way?
A55560and are they not Honoured, Renowned and made Famous, and that for their soon beginning?
A55560and doest thou so Remember him as to Love him?
A55560and doest thou so love him, as to love him above all things whatsoever?
A55560and if we please him not, can we be saved?
A55560but can we remember him aright, if we please him not?
A55560canst thou lay it down for his sake?
A55560is there a Conversion of the whole man unto God?
A55560who shall have them, if not He?
A55560will nothing prevail with you?
A55560will you have recourse to the good things of this world, to Creature- comforts and Enjoyments; to Friends, Relations, Estate, and the like?
A16890And did not the Lord after all these, in that desperate rebellion& treason unmatchable, set the sword to the hearts of us all?
A16890And hath not that sword of the blood- thirstie enemie beene drawne oft upon us?
A16890And may not the Lord therefore as he threatneth, cause the Sunne to goe downe at noone, and darken the earth in the cleare day?
A16890And shall this word in their mouthes be vaine; Shall he threaten and shall he not doe it?
A16890And to draw towards the conclusion of this point; what meanes that increase of outrage for Popery and all profanenesse?
A16890And when is it that the Lord brings them?
A16890And wherein, saith he, shall it be knowne that I and thy people have found favour in thy sight?
A16890And why dealeth the Lord thus carefully with Noah?
A16890And why?
A16890Are not these and the like, the things whereby we are commonly waxen so strong and safe in our owne conceit?
A16890Are we not become( I meane exceeding 〈 ◊ 〉 of us) as they who said, The Lord will neither doe good nor evill?
A16890Are we not come very generally to cry, Peace, peace, and all is well, desiring to be at ease, as they who trusted in the mountaine of Samaria?
A16890Are we not growne to this passe, for the most part, to be ashamed of talking or reasoning of it?
A16890But alas, have we not here a new cause to take up a dolefull complaint for the want hereof?
A16890But did the proud Assyrian know thus much, how God used him as his soldier?
A16890But hath he left us without further testimonies of his anger since?
A16890Can euer any wretched sinner cry out, Men and Brethren, what shall I doe, that I may be saued, vntill he haue his soule thus pierced?
A16890Can there be a more visible messenger of the Lords anger?
A16890Can we ever looke to be freed from the danger, untill we more generally abhorre their waies?
A16890Could they or durst they ever have attempted those things of themselves alone?
A16890Did not all joyne cheerefully as one man, of one heart and of one soule, for the building up the Temple of the Lord?
A16890Did not many an English heart tremble for feare therof?
A16890Did not other nations wonder at the most incredible inthronizing of our dread Soveraigne and liege Lord in such an unexpected peace?
A16890Did that proud Nebuchadnezzar of Rome sound out his bellowing Bulls, to move all the Lords people to rebell against his Annoynted?
A16890Did these( I say) come only of themselves, in the malice and hautinesse of their hearts, and without the Lord so disposing and threatning us by them?
A16890Did we not heare before of the vengeance on Israell in the dayes of Ioshuah for the sin of Achan?
A16890Do they not hereupon thinke, that no crueltie can be devised sufficient for us, no not the butchering or blowing us up all at once?
A16890Do we not in steed hereof waxe weary of it very generally, hearing it commonly for a fashion, or for satisfying of the law, or some like respect?
A16890Doe not our lives proclaime it?
A16890Doe not the Popish sort blaspheme the religion of the Lord established among us, for the extreme irreligiousnesse of the lives of too many of us?
A16890For what other thing did the threatning of destruction, so neerely to be executed, signifie, but even as to Ninivie?
A16890Hath he not sundry times threatned most manifestly the utter removing of it; so as all of us have oft feared, his final departing and leaving of us?
A16890Hath not that glorious name of a Christian become a nick- name& a name of reproach with too many?
A16890Hath not the glory of the Lord made a sensible remove in this behalfe?
A16890How deceive you your soules in a vaine imagination?
A16890How much losse now, when so many Achan ● be in euery corner, and Ionah asleepe euery where in the eyes of all?
A16890How that worthy Captaine with his valiant soldiers were not able to stand before their enemies, untill Achans sinne was found out& punished?
A16890If you beare false hearts to the Lords annointed and to your native country; how can you looke that vengeance shall suffer you to live?
A16890In a word; Is it not with us for the most part, as with them that lived immediately before the floud, and before the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrha?
A16890Is not the very day darke over them( as we may so speake) for seeing their owne sinnes, or the fearfull sins of the Land?
A16890Is not this the onely way to driue vs to behold the true brasen serpent, when we feele our selues stung at our hearts?
A16890Is this the Spirit of the Lord?
A16890Is this the spirit of Lot, Moses, Samuel, Ieremie, Ezra, of these mourners heere marked?
A16890Let us see what we can answere him herein?
A16890May he not justly say unto us all, even unto our whole Nation, for this very sin, as he said to the King of Israel for letting Benadad goe?
A16890May he not righteously forsake and leave us into their hands, as he left Iudah unto the Babylonian?
A16890May not then the Lord most justly make a finall remove?
A16890Must not all needs acknowledge, that our glory is much departed in these respects?
A16890Of our Saviour or Pavl?
A16890Oh that this may be well thought of, for sundry parts of our Land?
A16890Or as those that spake against Ieremie, to ● ull themselves and all others still asleepe; saying, we shall neither see sword nor famine?
A16890Or hath he so often practised our destruction both openly and secretly altogither without the Lord?
A16890Shall it not be when thou goest up with us?
A16890That zeale of Lot for all our unlawfull deeds?
A16890The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophecie?
A16890Then the word came vnto the Prophet at that very instant, saying, O house of Israel, can not I doe with you, as this Potter, saith the Lord?
A16890What heart was so flintie, which dissolved not into teares for sundry of them?
A16890What heart wished not, that it might never see that day?
A16890What is become of Moses, Samuel, Ieremie, Paul, and of that continuall heavinesse, which they were in, for the obstinacie of the people?
A16890What soule did not for the present extoll the Lord of glory for it, as being his onely worke?
A16890When by the same spirit some are pricked at their hearts with remorse for their sinnes and made to cry out; Men and brethren, what shall we doe?
A16890Where are the two Prophets, prophesi ● ng after the manner of mourners, for the prevayling of that Antichrist, and the delusions of Gods people?
A16890Where are those whose hearts melt to thinke how the law of God is troden under foote, and his judgements hastned daily by all our provocations?
A16890Who can be so voyde of sense, or so brutish, as yet to have lost the fresh remembrance of it?
A16890Who can denie this heavy hand of God amongst vs?
A16890and principally, the spirituall meanes of the word of the Lord?
A16890as we justly deserue: Or what have ye done to turne it from us?
A16890did not our desperate rebels make their certaine account of it?
A16890did they not exalt themselves against the Lord of Hosts in it, as his vengeance taken upon some of the cheife of them openly did notably declare?
A16890every part of it altogither?
A16890how we extoll his great name for it, by advancing his religion, that he might be the better knowne and feared amongst us?
A16890nothing wanting in effect, but putting fire to the match to have blowne up and utterly carried away all our glory?
A16890of whom Amos speaketh: and those who cryed, the Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord?
A16890or did he purpose in it to execute Gods wrath, and his terrible judgement?
A16890the desperatest ding- thrifts and sharpest swords, slashing downe and carying all away?
A16890were not our mouthes at that time filled with laughter, and our hearts with ioy, for this so wonderfull a remaining of our glory?
A16890were we not, as it were, within a minute of the execution?
A16890what can we answer to any one of these?
A16890what desire we shew to retaine him?
A16890what greater hatred and detestation of it, is wrought in us, than heretofore?
A16890what will ye doe in the day of the Lords wrath, if he let it come upon us?
A16890when they were as the bush in the midst of the fire that yet consumed not?
A16890whether that lively presence which did shake their hearts, be not utterly gone?
A16890who can be able to appeare before the Lord?
A16890would not then all such be made Puritanes of the Parliament house?
A70011And doe we wonder that God visits for these things?
A70011But can you prove this charge?
A70011Hieron: ad Theoph: adv: Joan: Hierosol: Quid dominationem pacem vocamus,& non reddimus unicuique rei vocabulum suum?
A70011How can they expect peace by Christ; who oppose, or care not for his person, Ministers, Ordinances, and people?
A70011In respect of the enemy; shall not my soul be avenged on such a people at this p?
A70011Is Ireland gone; Do the States look on; does not Scotland help; is York, Newcastle, Oxford, Weles, Reading, Cirencester taken?
A70011Now can we wonder why, when we make many prayers the Lord doth not heare us?
A70011This man, Where two Questions, First, What is meant by this man?
A70011What Thunderbolts then may we think God is sharpning against our faces?
A70011Which is so large, that all differences full under some branch of it: if the question be what is truth in point of Doctrine?
A70011Why not, shall bring, or procure?
A70011Why?
A70011a And he asks concerning Zedekiah the question, Shall a man break the Covenant?
A70011and that his soule doth avenge it selfe on such a nation as this?
A70011and that of the Prophet, b behold I begin to bring evill in the City which is called by upon my name, and shall ye be unpunished?
A70011but how doth it appeare?
A70011have we not procured these things to our selves?
A70011such a Bishop?
A70011such a Gentleman?
A70011such a Knight?
A70011though it were but with a man, b and be delivered?
A70011what evill have wee done, to cause a decree of execution to come forth?
A87103Shall such stars fall from the firmement, and no eyes behold it?
A87103There is a perishing that is common to the Righteous with the wicked: will you know what it is?
A87103no heart consider it?
A67821And how convictive of our Insensibility, if God can not arrive to the Honour of being esteemed the Delight of Mankind?
A67821And how many that the Confinedness of his Power must necessarily disappoint?
A67821And how should we be able to look more like our selves, that is, Erect and Rational?
A67821And if God be the Chief thing to be delighted in Hereafter, how Reasonable is it that he should be delighted in Now?
A67821And let not any Carnal Imagination cry within it self, I am defeated, if my Desires must be changed, for how shall I be happy without the present?
A67821And what now can make all this Difference, but only a different Respect for our Master?
A67821And yet how many of Mankind were there that Titu''s Benefactions could not reach?
A67821For let us consider yet farther, If God be not delighted in Now, How shall we be able to delight in him Hereafter?
A67821He therefore that will Enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, let him Enter: Why stands he at a Distance from the State he pretends to desire?
A67821How great is the summ of them?
A67821How much more happily will one Desire fill, and take up the whole Soul, when a Man shall make God his Treasure?
A67821If the Ambitious Man had his Desire, he would have more Honour; and, if he had, what would follow, but only that he would be more Insolent?
A67821If the Intemperate Man had his Desire, he would have more Health; and, if he had, what would follow, but only that he would be more Intemperate?
A67821Is not Comfort in it self a Delight?
A67821Now how can any one desire more than this, To be at the same time Content, and Ioyful, and Safe?
A67821Now if Conscience may thus be delighted in, my Argument runs, How much more reasonably may God be delighted in, who is the Rewarder of Conscience?
A67821Now who can doubt but that under this Contemplation God is the most proper Object of our Delight?
A67821Or why looks he for Another Opportunity; whereas there is no other but the present?
A67821So that, supposing a Man''s Mind to be but religiously bent, there is no other Circumstance can exclude him;( exclude him did I say?)
A67821That if Heaven be to be delighted in, God is more?
A67821That it comes in the Season when we have most need of it: And do not the Exigencies of our Life afford any Seasons wherein Comfort would be welcome?
A67821The Contentious Man would have more Authority; and, if he had, what would follow, but only that he would be more Injurious?
A67821The Scoffer would have more Wit; and, if he had, what would follow, but only that he would be more abusive?

A30608And call your hearts to question, what do I do with my estate for God?
A30608And doth not God for the present curse thy portion?
A30608And if mercies should come, what a daunting would this be to our hearts, that mercies are come, but we have not sought them?
A30608And now I go to hear the word, and out of the word he calls unto me, and seeks me, let me say, Lord what sayest thou to thy servant?
A30608Art thou one of the seed of Iacob, and hast sought God and sayest, thou hast had no answer?
A30608Art thou sorry for what thou hast done?

A30608But how many broken Gentry expected to raise their condition on the other side?
A30608But it follows upon it, notwithstanding when the Sonne of man comes shall he find faith on earth?

A30608But what is there in the Saints that makes them the excellent in the earth?
A30608But what is this supernaturall manner of serving God?
A30608But when I pray in the time of affliction, and Gods hand is on me, will it not be in vain to call unto him then?
A30608But wherein lyeth the efficacy of prayer?
A30608But why sayest thou so O Iacob?
A30608But you will say, how is God present with his Saints more then in other places; why is God said to dwell among his people, his Saints?
A30608But you will say; Lord, what will become of us?
A30608But you''l say, if men be in an errour, why should they not be forc''d, shall every man be left to his opinion, to do what he will?
A30608But( you''le say) do you think to preach to men that have their portion here in this life?
A30608Can you make good that you are one of the seed of Iacob?
A30608Canst thou say that thou art of the Church?
A30608Consider how do the losse of the things of the world, take thy heart; dost not thou account thy self an undone man, when thou had lost some comforts?

A30608First understand, who they are, you speak off; do you know wherein you and they differ?
A30608First, the poor things that men have here in this world, what are they?
A30608For what Nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

A30608How many prayers have we put up to God, and find not the issue?
A30608I appeal to thy conscience; when thou hast gone to pray to God, hast thou propounded this end?
A30608I but who have you spoke too all this while?
A30608I hear indeed there are some menare put of so, what if that should prove to be my portion what a miserable creature were I?

A30608Is it in vain to serve the Lord?
A30608Is the plowing, and the sowing of the husbandman, and all the showers in vain; because the corn is not in the barn?

A64131And after all this, in the conduct of Government what remedy can there be to those that call themselves Tender Consciences?
A64131And if it be said that Laws may be mistaken; it is true, but may not an Oath also be a Perjury?
A64131And which of us all stands here this day, that does not need God''s pardon and the King''s?
A64131Are all the practices of Geneva or Scotland recorded in the Word of God?
A64131But first, who ever did so that could help it?
A64131But is there not great difference in the Thing commanded?
A64131But what course must be taken with tender Consciences?
A64131But what then again?
A64131But will we doe nothing else?
A64131Can the Prince give Laws to the peoples will; and can the people give measures to the Princes understanding?
A64131Can we become a law unto our selves, and can not the word and power of our Superiors also become a law unto us?
A64131For did not our Blessed Saviour say, that an Oath is the end of all questions, and after depositions are taken, all Judges goe to sentence?
A64131I have tried all the waies I can to bring thee home, and what shall I now doe unto thee?
A64131If one mans Conscience can be the measure of another mans action, why shall not the Princes Conscience be the Subject''s measure?
A64131If you do not think so, why do you not leave it?
A64131Is not the Government a part of?
A64131It is very hard when the Prince is forc''d to say to his rebellious Subject, as God did to his stubborn people, Quid faciam tibi?
A64131Or is the Conscience of the Superior bound to relaxe his lawes, if the inferior tells him so?
A64131Shall the execution of the Law be suspended as to all such persons?
A64131The Subject should rather say, Quid me vis facere?
A64131The next enquiry is, What must the disagreeing Subject doe when he supposes the Superiors command is against the Law of God?
A64131Well, it may be so: but were it not better that you did doubt?
A64131Well, to what purpose is all this?
A64131What excellency was there in the journeys of the Patriarchs from Mesopotamia to Syria, from the land of Canaan into Egypt?
A64131What made Abraham the friend of God?
A64131What shall we doe now?
A64131What wilt thou have me to doe?
A64131Who believe more strongly then boyes and women?
A64131Will a son contend with his father?
A64131and can any man boast of his passive Obedience that calls it Persecution?
A64131and what made his offer to kill his Son to be so pleasing to God?
A64131and what thanks could the sons of Israel deserve that they sate still upon the seventh day of the week?
A64131and who is so carefully to be observed, lest he be offended, as the KING?
A64131and who so readily suspect their teachers as they who are govern''d by chance, and know not the intrinsick measures of good and evil?
A64131are the trifling Ceremonies of their publick Penance recorded in the four Gospels?
A64131but if you do think so, why are ye not zealous for it?
A64131hath God given more to a private then to a publick hand?
A64131is not such a Law, a Law without an obligation?
A64131may not every man chuse whether he will obey or no?
A64131what then?
A64131wherefore then( God said) were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
A64131who are so hard to be perswaded as fools?
A64131who can find fault with your Religion?
A52087& a moment ● issto non erimus tecum ultra in aeternum?
A52087( is Saint Bernards question) Lord, which way shall turne, that I may turne to thee?
A52087And doe not our harts beginne to faile us for feare?
A52087And in this horror and distresse whether shall they got?
A52087And what a day of black confusion had followed, had the warre proceeded?
A52087And why all this?
A52087And why doth David call his teares his meate?
A52087Are we then fit to run the path of Gods Commandements, when we can not goe without a staffe?
A52087Are you not startled now?
A52087Are you sorrie when you thinke upon your sinnes?
A52087But God requires a cheaper sacrifice, that we would turne to him with the affections of our heart, and shall we not doe that?
A52087But Quid ad nos?
A52087But Quo me vertam ut convertar ad te Domine?
A52087But heere all his Carnall pleasure ● past, begun to Court him Dimittesne nos?
A52087But mee thinkes I heare flesh and blood begin to pleado May I not lay by the consideration of my repentance a little?
A52087Can this trifling( to call it no worse) fit us for eternity?
A52087Can we loose a neerer freind?
A52087Can you pray fervently, and send your heart up to Heaven in desire of mercy?
A52087Could you be content now to sit downe and wash all your servants feete?
A52087Could you be content now( if God should require it) to sell all you have and give to the poore?
A52087How long have we wisht( for what we have) a Parliament?
A52087How long shall I say to morrow, to morrow?
A52087How ready are we to perform the Diuils command, though we see damnation at the end of it?
A52087If you finde that you do not greive sufficiently for your sinnes, can you grieve( hartily) that you can not grieve?
A52087Is the death bed a conuenient Altar to offer up our bodyes a living sa ● rifice, and then to when we lie a dying?
A52087Is this to spend the time well?
A52087Is this your fast( saith God) to hange downe your head like bulrush?
A52087Nay more, and that''s lesse; when you finde a defect of these, can you heartily wish you could performe them?
A52087Nay more, may we not feare that the Sun and moone may be darkened, and the starrs may which draw their shining?
A52087Nay more; could you give your only sonne to your enemies, to your enemies to kill him, and yet that death( rightly apply''d) to save the Murtherers?
A52087Never to dye, whilst we live?
A52087O Lord who is sufficient for these things?
A52087O whether then shall they be turned, that will not turne to the Lord?
A52087Oh my God( saith he) how long wilt thou suffer me thus?
A52087READER, IF thou bee''st Courteous, thou hast heere a fit obiect of ● hy mercy; If Criticall?
A52087Strange mercy in an offended God to threaten a people with destruction, that so he may not distroy them?
A52087Tell me then is this a fit time for repentance?
A52087This Nun ● of so little lasting, that''t is lost while we speak it, how then can we be Masters of that, whose very being is not to be?
A52087To hang downe your head like a bulrush and yet still remaine a stiffe necked people?
A52087To have sinnes past number, and so few teares, as perhaps, will not make a number?
A52087To sprinkle our selves with ashes, when as our lust burnes in a full fire?
A52087We do this& more at the Diuils command,& have we no obedience for the Lord of heauen?
A52087Well doth the scripture call Iohn Baptist more then a ▪ Prophet,( and that''s more then a man;) and why?
A52087Whether we can retreate backe to God in an hower, that have strayed fro ● him all our lives?

A52087and doe you thinke upon them?
A52087and their distresse, picture out the horror of the last day, in blood, and Fire, and vapour of smoke?
A52087as it followes the text, who knoweth, if he will returne and leave a blessing behind him?

A52087what will it profit us to forbeare those things, which are somtimes lawfull, if we doe those things which are never lawfull?
A52087what''s all this to us?
A52087when we can do nothing else, to be able to do that?
A52087whether a few dropps at the end of our dayes are sufficient to cleanse that soule, to whom, sin hath contributed the staines of many yeares?
A52087whether shall they ● ● ye?
A52087why should I not doe it now?

A52087would we not turne away from such a sight, if there were but any way to turne?
A52087would you not begin to shrug, and with the young man in the Gospell g ● e away sorrowfull?
A70654But how comes the Church to be thus empty?
A70654But now which of us laies these things to heart?
A70654But stay, profane and wicked man,( if any such be here) and let me a little reason with thee: What such cause is there of thy rejoicing?
A70654God bee praised for it, his learning and parts were imployed onely for the hurt of the Church of Christ: Is such an one gone?
A70654How gone?
A70654How often was his life in danger?
A70654May I not say, as David to the People, Rent your Clothes, and gird you with Sackcloth, and mourne before Abner?
A70654Were they apostatised?
A70654Who knows not all this to bee true, who knevv this Mans conversation?
A70654and what He meanes to doe with us?
A70654art thou a gainer by their deaths?
A70654blessed be God, who hath rid his Church of a great enemy: Is such a rich Mandead?
A70654dost thou imagine to rest more safely, because the pillars of the house which covers thee are taken away?
A70654had she never any better store?
A70654had they voluntarily left her?
A70654or dost thou conceive that God hath taken them away to gratifie thee?
A70654or, what we have done to provoke him thus far against us?
A70654the world is well rid of a griping Usurer, a cruell Oppressor, a Mammonist, who had his portion in this World: Is such a great Schollar dead?
A70654vvhat a World of threats and menaces have bin sent Him from time to time?
A70654what great man is this day fallenin our Israell?
A70654who considereth the bitter things which God writes against us?
A61615A contempt of God and Religion, Which said unto God, Depart from us; and what can the Almighty do for them?
A61615And shall we think much to serve so Wise, so Merciful, so Gracious a God?
A61615And therefore as Job saith to his Friends, Shall not his excellency make you afraid?
A61615And thou sayest, how doth God know?
A61615And what profit shall we have if we pray unto him?
A61615And what was their great and provoking sin?
A61615And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
A61615And, I have sinned, what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men?
A61615But if so good, so vertuous, so sincere a Man as Job, had such terrible apprehensions of God, what can we wretched sinners think of him?
A61615But is there such a thing as Reason among Mankind?
A61615But suppose some to have much greater care to restrain their desires than others; yet saith he, What is man, that he should be clean?
A61615But what is it he appeals to Antiquity for, and the observations of all former Ages?
A61615But when and where did this race of Mankind live, whom these designing Men first cheated into the belief of a Deity, and the practice of Religion?
A61615Can a man, saith Eliphaz, be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself?
A61615Can we appeal to God as to the sincerity of our hearts in his fear and service, as Job did?
A61615Can we judge of what is true and false; probable or improbable; certain or uncertain?
A61615Doth not this seem to lessen the comfort and satisfaction of a good Conscience, when such a one as Job was afraid of God?
A61615For as Job saith, Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?
A61615For let us consider, Was it not God who formed us in our Mothers Womb, and so curiously framed and fashioned all the parts of our Bodies?
A61615For, from whence comes all the peace of a good Conscience, but from him?
A61615For, what are our shallow and dark and confused conceptions of things, to his Divine Wisdom?
A61615Is it not He, that hath exercised so much patience, and long- suffering, and goodness towards us in order to our Repentance?
A61615Is it not He, who still wonderfully continues our Peace and Plenty, amidst all the sad complaints, and miserable condition of our Neighbours?
A61615Or must some things be run down, without examining?
A61615Shall we complain that our Physician doth not humour our palates, when he designs our health?
A61615That still offers to us the most unvaluable Blessings of the pardon of our Sins, and everlasting Happiness upon our sincere Repentance?
A61615Was it not He, that made all the Parts of the World about us so serviceable and beneficial to us?
A61615We can not deny the follies of Mankind about Religion, either Ancient or Modern: but when was it given to all the World to be wise?
A61615What apprehensions of God then may we entertain in our minds, when even Job was afraid of him?
A61615What is the Almighty that we should serve him?
A61615What it was made Job so apprehensive of Gods anger that he was afraid of him, when he pleads so much for his own Integrity towards God and Man?
A61615Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
A61615Would not some of the Roman Emperours, who had none to controul them, have been glad to have eased themselves of the fears of an invisible Power?
A61615and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
A61615and his dread fall upon you?
A61615and if he were false in his Religion, how could he expect he should be his Friend?
A61615and others taken up, without any other colour of reason, than because they serve to such a purpose?
A61615and what content can there be from him, the very thoughts of whom make us afraid?
A61615can he judge through the dark Cloud?
A61615he insists so much upon his own Integrity?
A61615if when he considered, he was afraid of him; have not we reason when we consider, to sink into despair?
A61615yea, who continues our Laws, our Government, our Religion amidst all the Fears and Conspiracies which have been among us?
A682042 He that will pray must first beleeue( saith the Apostle) How can they call vpon him in whom they do not beleeue?

A68204Againe, two blinde men crie to be healed: hee asked them of their faith, Beleeue ye that I am able to do this?

A68204And that no man may stand stifly in his owne rash iudgement; Quid Temeritate fortius?
A68204And the Apostle speaketh of this communion when hee saith; Tempt your selues whether you be in the faith?
A68204And yet these holy ones can not alway pray, for how oftē come they to the Lords gate, and yet haue the repulse?

A85529And do not some doate on Images with the Romanists, and others on Imaginations with Factionists?

A57979and will hee forfeit Heaven, and will hee not forfeit you all, and your Parliament and Liberties?
A57979are they my sins?
A57979but omnipotence holdeth it up: who hath Arms to spread a web of black darknesse from the East to the West?
A57979canst thou finde out the Almighty unto perfection?
A57979deeper then hell, what canst thou know?
A57979for since I did speake against him, I doe earnestly remember him, my bowels are troubled for him, I will surely have mercy on him, saith the Lord?
A57979how great is his beauty?
A57979in earth, in Hell, or in Heaven?
A57979is he a pleasant childe?
A57979is it sure to trust in the Prince who returneth to his Earth, the Earth whereof he is a landed heritor, when he dieth?
A57979it is the least thing that can be, but( I pray you) what is lesse then nothing?
A57979or, Is there knowledge in the Almightie?
A57979that these knees that bowed often to God, and these hands which was lifted up to him, should be eaten with Lions?
A57979thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
A57979unbeliefe soundeth no such cry to Heaven?
A57979what shall we render to him?
A57979who hath given the Lord counsell?
A57979who hath strength above the strength of God?
A57979who marshalleth bullets through the Aire?
A57979who walketh as if death were alwayes at his right side?
A02148A godly man, is blessed in soule, but is miserable in body?
A02148Ahasuerus asked Haman, What should be done to the man, whom the King would honour?
A02148And how then can scorning be so great a sinne; being found in him, in whom is nothing but transcendent goodnesse?
A02148And how then, O my soule, canst thou avoid the extasie of Peter and Iohn, but to thinke of this?
A02148And how then, shall we come to know, the delighting which is true and perfect, from that which is counterfeit and defective?
A02148And if bond be thought too little; have we not then a good pawne besides?
A02148And if we passe from the hope it selfe; to that which is hoped for; Oh then, how transcendent a blessednesse will be found in hope?
A02148And if wee take another way to goe; will it not come to all one journies end?
A02148And indeed, in this kinde of rising; how can any of the ungodly rise; who have so many standing ready to pull them downe?
A02148And indeed, is it not strange, that men who have out lived yesterday; should think there can be happinesse where there is time?
A02148And indeed, what society can there bee, betweene a tree, and chaffe?
A02148And is it possible, the Prophet should ever be able, to answer this?
A02148And may it not now be truely said, that the Prophet hath performed both his prizes,''to the full?
A02148And now tell me, if the Prophet were not well advised, to make use of a similitude?
A02148And now, if any man slight this hope, as thinking it not worthy the name of a blessednes; is it not, because hee hath no feeling of it in himselfe?
A02148And now, if any man slight this joy, as not deserving the name of blessednes; Is it not, because hee feeles it not in himselfe?
A02148And now, if we should aske the world, what it saies to all this?
A02148And now, that we have found out a godly man, in Hypothesi: where may we looke to finde him out in Thesi?
A02148And now, what meanes the Prophet by saying; The wicked are not so?
A02148And shall not the truth of ioy, make us more blessed, than the type made Abraham?
A02148And what by the time?
A02148And what by these leafes?
A02148And what by this fruit?
A02148And what by this planting?
A02148And what by this waters side?
A02148And what is then the present possession, they so much stand upon; and so much boast of?
A02148And what remaines then, but that he should doe nothing else, but lie?
A02148And where are they now, that are afraid of melancholy, in the midst of such delights?
A02148And where then?
A02148And why should not even worldly men, bee sensible of this delight?
A02148And why then, should not the Prophet, though but in respect of these blessings, say Blessed is the man?
A02148And will not this blessednesse appeare yet plainer; if we consider the divers sorts of blessednesse?
A02148Arrham Spiritus Sancti; a pawne and pledge, of the holy Spirit?
A02148But are not these strange markes, to begin withall?
A02148But doth not the Prophets adding of this piece; make the Prophet himselfe defective?
A02148But have then ungodly men counsell?
A02148But how happens this sudden alteration in the Prophet?
A02148But is it not strange, to see how contrary the Prophet proceeds here, to our expecting?
A02148But is it not strange, wee should not know the ground we goe upon; whether it rise or fall; whether it be ascending or descending?
A02148But is it not then, that we are all this while mistakenin blessednes?
A02148But is it not, that Animus cuiusque is est quisque?
A02148But is it not, that David knew better the extent of his words, than to bee so superfluous: For ever since the time, of which Moses saith?
A02148But is it not, that wee mistake the Prophet; and make his words a gradation; when, perhaps, he meant them for levell ground?
A02148But is not this a strange inference?
A02148But is not this rather, to deale hardly with the Prophet?
A02148But is not this strange, that a man should want,& yet be perfect?
A02148But is there delight then, in the Law of God?
A02148But is this such good newes for a godly man?
A02148But may not the Prophet preach this doctrine long enough, before he meet with an auditory, that wil believe him?
A02148But may we not make a stand here, and question the Prophet, about his similitude?
A02148But now to consider it in Allegory; what may wee thinke, is meant by this tree?
A02148But what happinesse can a godly man expect from this similitude of a tree?
A02148But what is this to us?
A02148But what matter is it, when the fruit is gathered; whether the leafes continue still, or no?
A02148But what?
A02148But why doth the Prophet say; The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous; and saith not rather, The Lord knoweth the righteous?
A02148But why should the Prophet require day and night, to be spent in the doing of Gods Law?
A02148But why would the Prophet speake of delighting in the Law of God; and not speake rather, of delighting in God himselfe?
A02148But why would the Prophet, use any Negatives at all; and not rather relie wholy upon Affirmatives?
A02148But will not this bring us againe, into a relaps, of denying the generall Resurrection?
A02148But, if this be all; what great matter is it?
A02148Can these words of his, be ever possibly reconciled?
A02148Did Ahab prosper in seeking Naboths vineyard?
A02148Did Iudas prossper, in betraying his Master?
A02148Doe wee not count our selves sure, if we have a good mans word?
A02148Doth he not by shewing the blessednes to bee the more: shew his owne iudgement to bee the lesse?
A02148Durate,& vosmet rebus servate seeundis: Be constant to the end; and be assured, it will not be long, ere thou shalt raigne with Christ?
A02148For doth not the chaffe grow up; and is it not brought up with the wheat?
A02148For how can it bee tryed, whether they shall rise in the Iudgement, or no; if they come not to the Iudgement, where they are to be tryed?
A02148For take the inference, as it is intended; and what can be plainer?
A02148For what are the greatest assurances of all worldly things?
A02148For what is apter to rise, than that which is light?
A02148For what is mourning, but a deploring of misery?
A02148For who knowes not, that a vagabond is properly one, that roames about from place to place, but is never in his proper place?
A02148For, are not all men generally subject to crosses?
A02148For, is it not a miserable delight when it may be threatned with this: Oli ● ● haec meminisse pigebit?
A02148For, is it not an armour of steele, against all blowes of Fortune, and wrackes of time that I have hope continually to stand prompting me with this?
A02148For, let the day past, be spent in all the pleasures of the world; yet what is yesterday to us to day?
A02148For, was it not a tree, that bore the Fruite of life, in the Garden of Eden?
A02148For, was not Mordec ai the good Jew, a scorner?
A02148For, what hurt can hee take, by standing in their way?
A02148For, what is godlinesse, but the love of God?
A02148For, what is their present possession, but possession of the present?
A02148Godlinesse indeed procures them to bee made like a Tree; but what makes them?
A02148Godlinesse to be a meanes of prospering?
A02148Himselfe a poore snake Jew, to Haman a Prince, and prime Favorite of great King Ahashuerosh?
A02148How then is it true that they be judged already?
A02148If we delight not, in the Law of God, which we know; how can we delight in God, whom we do not know?
A02148If you love not your brother, whom you see; how can you love God, whom you doe not see?
A02148Is it not a broad and a large way, that sinners may goe by, and no hurt to him at all?
A02148Is it not a dolefull delight, when Extrema gaudii l ● ctus occupat; when sorrow followes it at the heeles?
A02148Is it not a fearefull delight, when like a Magicians rodde, it is instantly turned into a Serpent?
A02148Is it not a thing rather that will make us melancholly?
A02148Is it not the tree, figured by the tree of life, in the Garden of Eden?
A02148Is it not, that he durst not presume to use the name of Righteous; till it were first determined of in the Iudgement?
A02148Is it, that as a good Mathematician, hee will not onely make a demonstration; but adde a corollary?
A02148Is it, that he would not goe further, than the line of his similitude would leade him?
A02148Is not the answer to this question, made by Christ himselfe?
A02148It is not, that we may distinguish them by their chaire?
A02148May not God himselfe bee said a scorner; of whom it is said; that he laughes the wicked to scorne; and hath them in derision?
A02148May wee not bee bold to say, because it was more, than hee could doe?
A02148Now therefore, O my soule, Why art thou cast downe; and why art thou so disquieted within mee?
A02148One would thinke, it were want of counsell, that makes them ungodly: for who would be ungodly, if hee had counsell to direct him?
A02148Or how at least, may we distinguish the vicious scorning, from that which is the vertue?
A02148Or who knew the seven thousand that bowed not their knees to Baal; to be no Idolaters; till God, by his owne mouth made them knowne to Elias?)
A02148Or, as if a goodly man, should neither walke, nor stand, nor sit?
A02148Or, what more did Christ expresse of the Kingdome of heaven, by comparing it to a pearle; then by comparing it, to a graine of Mustard seed?)
A02148Some scorne God himselfe; and are ready to answere, as Pharaoh answered Moses; What is God?
A02148The similitude of a Tree, is sufficiently justified; but why would the Prophet expresse happinesse, by any similitude at all?
A02148Well, be it so; Let the Prophet have his will; and let them bee like chaffe; what hurt take they by this?
A02148What though thou flie as a bird, to the mountaines?
A02148Wickednesse indeed, procures them to bee made like chaffe; but what makes them?
A02148Will he be so a Prophet, as that hee will be no more than a Prophet; tell us onely of things to come; and not keepe his word, in things present?
A02148a Tree, that for all its being planted by the water, is sure at last, to come to the fire?
A02148a Tree, that is exposed to wind and weather?
A02148a Tree, that is subiect to wormes and cankers?
A02148a Tree, which growes out of the earth; and creepes into the Earth?
A02148and as Christ, it seemes upon better advise did take it afterwards?
A02148and did not Christ say, to the Thiefe on the Crosse; This day, thou shalt be with mee in Paradise; which yet was meant, but onely of his soule?
A02148and doth it not mortifie in us, the life of all joy?
A02148and he saw, that his similitude would not reach to Poena sensus?
A02148and lest there should be defect, for want of witnesses; have we not a whole army of Martyrs; and Confessours innumerable?
A02148and not deliver it rather in the very substance?
A02148and that, David hath set a glosse upon it, to make us esteem more highly of it, than there is cause?
A02148and till they had their station assigned them amongst the Saints?
A02148and to sit in the Chaire of scorners; what is it, but to take a pride in sinne?
A02148and to stand in the way of sinners; what is it, but the custome of sin?
A02148and what care the wicked, whether they be like a Tree, or no: as long, as they may be like to something else, as well to be liked as a Tree?
A02148and what is lighter than the chaffe?
A02148and what is love, without delight?
A02148and what more misery in all this, to the chaffe, then to the wheate it selfe?
A02148and what will to day, be to us to morrow?
A02148and when Harvest comes; are they not both reaped together; and both together, laid up into the Barne?
A02148and when the Progeny of Iacob went downe into Aegypt; is it not said, that so many soules went downe, without making reckoning of their bodies?
A02148and who would ever looke for such a blind reason from a Prophet?
A02148and why then, should the Prophet shuffle them together; and as if the body were no body, say Blessed is the man?
A02148as if vertue were onely Vitium fugere?
A02148as though the word of a Prophet, were not of it selfe, an authority sufficient, to command our assent?
A02148as though wee should know a godly man, by the postures of his body?
A02148as though, we could know a godly man by Negatives?
A02148but tell me rather, if godly men be not well advised, to make use of godlinesse?
A02148for looke upon the wicked; doe they looke like chaffe?
A02148for what operation can be in a Negative?
A02148for, he can have no more, than the similitude will afford?
A02148have good thoughts then; and good words; no promise of prospering?
A02148he can looke for no more, than the tree hath it selfe; and where hath the tree, any resemblance of happinesse, in any thing, that is here exprest?
A02148how canst thou give David cause to say: Why art thou cast downe, O my soule; and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A02148how will hee hold fellowship with St. Paul, who makes a solemne protestation, that He beleeves the resurrection shall be, both of iust and uniust?
A02148how will the Prophet avoide, the imputation of a Sadduce?
A02148meanes hee not, they are like a Tree?
A02148must this bee the height of a godly mans expectation, to be like a Tree?
A02148or that godlinesse consisted in Negation?
A02148or what needed, so great a caveat, to be given of it?
A02148or who can thinke it fit, that trees and chaffe, should bee made companions?
A02148seeing a tree hath boughes and branches aspiring towards heaven; united in one roote, and making one body?
A02148shall not the consummation of peace, make us more blessed, than the inchoation made Simeon?
A02148shall wee say, it must be a delighting, onely; or but only, chiefely?
A02148should want blessings, and yet be perfectly blessed?
A02148some in body; some in goods: some by enemies; some by friends; some in all; but all in some?
A02148tell me if wicked men, be not ill advised, to make account of vanities?
A02148to put him to his proofes, for every word hee speaks?
A02148was it not a Tree, that bore the Lord of life, in the field of Golgotha?
A02148what doe we thinke, would the world answer to such a question?
A02148what joy; what excessive joy; what happinesse, what transcendent happinesse, will this be unto us?
A02148what though thou dwell a while in the Tents of Mesek?
A02148whether it thinke not these blessings, to be farre more worth, than all their guilded vanities?
A02148who scorned so much, as to make a legge; or so much as to put off his hat to Haman?
A02148why saith hee; The way of the ungodly shall perish; and saith not rather, The ungodly shall perish?
A02148why would he not, rather tell us, what it is; than what it is like?
A89565If God be with us, who can be against us?
A89565Must we therefore sit downe, and despaire?
A85979And how often have they sought peace and his Returne?
A85979And may not a good King love his enemies, and hate his friends?
A85979And what if the great Councell of the Kingdome seek to remove wicked Counsellers from the King, that usurpe their Office to themselves?
A85979And what if they send forth to suppresse insurrections, and to pursue Delinquents, that fly the justice of that high Court?
A85979But what did David when he was a subject, and Saul sought his life?
A85979Doth it not pertain to them to do it, even ex Officio?
A85979Good King David was charged with that; And may not a good King help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord?
A85979Good King Jehoshaphat was charged with that by a Prophet of the Lord; And may not a good King be led to shed much innocent bloud?
A85979If yee do well, shall yee not be accepted?
A85979It is further said, that he is a good King, but may not a good King be led to do unwisely?
A85979It will be said by our adversaries, that they pray too, and why may not they be heard as well as wee?
A85979May not the State, and such a State that hath such power in their hands, doe more than one man, of what rank so ever?
A85979Must the State and those that hold with them, learne of Delinquents that have deserved death, how to be for the King?
A85979Must they learne of damme- swearers, that familiarly sweare themselves into hell?
A85979Vbi est Deus Theodosij?
A85979Were the second, the seventh, the fourth, better kept then in Westminster, then they are now?
A85979or of perfidious Covenant- breakers, to whom an oath of God is no more than a collar to a Monkey, that he can slip at pleasure?
A71251And accordingly, How soon did all things conspire to his destruction?
A71251And how shall We escape the common reproach, who have been so unhappily united in a Country and Society, that has produced such Monsters?
A71251And where is the Lord to be jealous for his Inheritance?
A71251Behold, Is not the meat cut off before their Eyes?
A71251Finally, To the Reproach of God''s Providence: Wherefore should they say among the People, Where is their God?
A71251Has not the Almighty shewn himself in our defence, who but so lately has delivered us both from Popish and Fanatick Conspiracies?
A71251How did our Cities become Solitary, that were full of people?
A71251How do the beasts groan because they have no pasture?
A71251How great is the demonstration of his mercy and loving- kindness, that we even now continue a Church and People, as at this day?
A71251How loudly did his praises now sound from those Pulpits, that had bid defiance to Him and his Party heretofore?
A71251How shall I recount the most flourishing of States brought to Desolation?
A71251How shall I recount the wickedness of their process?
A71251How was his Sacred Majesty almost caught in their traps?
A71251Is there any one now present, who though unconcern''d in that black Parricide, is yet involved in any of those Principles that led to it?
A71251Is this the People that hath the Lord for their God?
A71251Let them ask where is their God, that have not known by what singular and unexspected means these designs were both Discover''d and Disappointed?
A71251Only let our Repentance be as sincere, as our Crimes have been provoking; Who can tell but he may yet repent, return, and leave a blessing behind him?
A71251Our Country, Once great among the Nations, How did she become Tributary, even to her own Vassals?
A71251Their Vine laid waste?
A71251Through what treachery did our Anointed first fall into their nets?
A71251What Shouts, what Acclamations, when the cruel stroke was given that finished the Tragedy?
A71251When at last the fatal Sentence was pronounced; How hardly were they brought to allow him any Assistance to prepare him for his death?
A71251Where is now their God to pity them?
A71251Wherefore should they say among the People, Where is their God?
A71251With what Noise and Insults was all the action carried on?
A71251and the Branches of their figtree made white?
A52174AH Father Abraham, Pity me, Who with tormenting Flames am Stung, For pity whither should I Flee But to the Bowels whence I Sprung?
A52174ARt thou forlorn of God, and com''st to me?
A52174Am I a Child of Man and God?
A52174Am I a Garden?
A52174And dost imagine some fair Bridge to lie, Betwixt the White and Black- Eternity?
A52174And dost thou surely come?
A52174And dost thou surely quickly come?
A52174And dost thou ● ook on such a One?
A52174And must we Drink his Blood?
A52174And slug I here?
A52174And something hear?"
A52174Are not thine Eyes most pure?
A52174But what was Ever?
A52174Can our pure Light with Smoak& Darkness dwell?
A52174Come then my dearest, dearest Lord, My sweetest, surest Friend; Come, for I loath these Kedar Tents, Thy Fiery Chariots send: What have I here?
A52174Dost all my Love and Sufferings slight?
A52174FAirest of Fairs, if thus it be, O whither is he gone?
A52174Fool, ask not where th''Almighty is, All Glory to Him give; Is not his Power fully prov''d, In suffring Thee to Live?
A52174For why?
A52174God spake the word, Peace and be still, My Sins, those Mutineers With speed went off and took their flight, Where now are all my fears?
A52174God''s holy VVatchmen did Me find, Of whom I did enquire, Pray, can ye help my troubled Mind, VVhich doth a Christ desire?
A52174HOW shall I Sing that Majesty Which Angels do admire?
A52174Here in the dark and deep I grope, Who us''d to live above; Where is my Faith?
A52174His Sins for Wages loudly Cry, Justice with dreadful sound Cries too, Cut down this fruitless Tree, VVhy cumbers it the Ground?
A52174How am I Born, whilst sick of Love, In those blest Hands of his?
A52174I hear a Joyful Sound, Surely I quickly come; Each word much sweetness doth distil, Like a full Honey- Comb: And dost thou come, my dearest Lord?
A52174IF such an Envious Gulf there be, Yet, Father, lend an Ear to me: From Earth to Heaven a way is Pav''d; How else came Lazarus to be Sav''d?
A52174IS not the Hand of God in this: Is not this End divine?
A52174If one poor moment he be Left, He Sinks, and where is He?
A52174Is he thy Wish who was thy Scorn before?
A52174It was a waking Dream they would conclude,"A Juggle which our Senses did delude:"Or did we something see?
A52174LOrd, What is Man, that Lump of Sin, Made up of Earth and Hell; Not fit to come within the Camp Where Holy Angels dwell?
A52174Let the Redeemed of the Lord, Their thankful Voices raise: Can we be Dumb, whilst Angels Sing Our great Redeemers Praise?
A52174Lord, I return''d at thy Command, VVhat wilt thou have me do?
A52174My Bones and Senses, all must say, Lord, who is like to thee?
A52174My Christ he is the Heaven of Heaven, My Christ what shall I call?
A52174My Church, to Me the World is dross, And thou a Pearl of Price; And art thou Stray''d and as a Loss?
A52174My Church, who art most New, most Fair, How Dear art thou and Sweet; In whom all Sweets compacted are, In whom all Graces meet?
A52174My Coat is off, and how shall I Put on my Coat again?
A52174My House is Fill''d and Feasted too; It is an House of Bread: How can I hear my Children Sing, And not Sing unto thee?
A52174My Lord, whom should I fear but Thee, VVho am thy Creatures Fear?
A52174My Voice, my Prayer, and my Complaint, That heard so willingly?
A52174My heartless Dove, why dost thou faint, And hide thy self from me?
A52174No Breasts on our small Sister grow, Nor is She yet Admir''d; What shall we for our Sister do, When she shall be desir''d?
A52174O Daughter of the Mighty God, How comely are thy Feet?
A52174O Fairest, let us know; VVherein does thine others out- shine, That thou dost Charge us so?
A52174O God of Grace, who hast Restor''d Thine Image unto Me, Which by my Sins was quite defac''d, What shall I render Thee?
A52174Pray tell me where and how?
A52174Return, Return Apace That we may look with much delight Vpon thy Glorious Face: What in the Shulamite I pray, Do ye expect to see?
A52174Seers, did ye my Saviour see?
A52174Shall I, said I; forgoe my Christ, And so close up mine Eyes?
A52174Shall Lazarus now be welcome to thy door?
A52174Should I come o''re the Dusty Floor, My washed Feet to stain?
A52174Should not I here thy Servant be, VVhose Creatures serve me here?
A52174Since none can see thy Face and live, For me to die is best, Through Jordan''s streams who would not dive To Land at Canaan''s Rest?
A52174So poor I am, so great thou art, The Lord, how can I Feast?
A52174Tell me now from thy Breast, Where feeds the Flock?
A52174The City- watch did light on me, Of whom I did enquire, In any Street, pray, Did ye see, The Man, whom I admire?
A52174The World presents its glorious Shews, But what are those to me?
A52174Thee, Lord, who still thy Church dost love, All Creatures must obey; And when for Thine thou dost arise, Their En''mies, where are they?
A52174Their earnest Cries do pierce the Skies, And shall I silent be?
A52174Then, O North, Awake, and on it Breath; Thy quickning Breath will summon forth The Odours from Beneath: Am I a Garden?
A52174Thousands of Thousands stand Around Thy Throne, O God, most High; Ten Thousand times Ten Thousand sound Thy Praise; but who am I?
A52174Thy carriage how discreet?
A52174VVhat Morn looks forth?
A52174VVhat Sun may yonder be?
A52174VVhat''s your thick Clay?
A52174VVhatever is not Hell it self, For me it is too good: But must we Eat the Flesh of Christ?
A52174VVhere God doth dwell, sure Heav''n is there, And Singing there must be; Since, Lord, thy Presence makes my Heaven, VVhom should I sing but Thee?
A52174VVho is, said they, this Lord of thine?
A52174VVhy should not Patience make me sing, VVhen Hell would make me roar?
A52174Vast Numbers from his Word at first did flow, And must his Word pass for a Cypher now?
A52174WHat Dog is this that dares Presume on Me?
A52174WHat shall I Render to my God, For all his Gifts to Me?
A52174What Eye e''re pierc''d th''Almighties Sacred Breast?
A52174What Jewel is this Dear of thine, O Fairest, let us know; Wherein does thine Others out- shine, That thou dost charge us so?

A52174What is a Spirit?
A52174What is the Rich and Noblest Blood, My lovely Lord, to Thee?
A52174What smoaky Pillar strait from hence Out of that Desart Rises; Perfum''d with Myrrh and Frankincense, And all the Merchants Spices?
A52174What then were all the Creatures Smiles, When the Creator frown''d?
A52174What thing is there that I can wish, But Thee in Heav''n above?
A52174What''s Infinity?"
A52174When once the Hour of thy Design Hath on these Captives Shone, When they are call''d and own''d for Thine, What shall be further done?
A52174When shall our Souls mount up to Thee, Most Holy, Just, and True, To eat that Bread, and drink that Wine; VVhich is for ever New?

A62715An ipsi a nobis exierunt, an nos ab ipsis?
A62715And has it not happened thus amongst us, by reason of some factious Doctrines that have been far and wide dispersed?
A62715And if the ear shall say, because I am not the eye I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?
A62715And if the foot shall say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
A62715And is not this the great Promise to support the spirits of the true Worshippers?
A62715And why should Gilead abide beyond Iordan, and Dan remain in ships?
A62715Are they gone out from Us, or We from them?
A62715Are you nothing moved by the judgments which have followed upon our dissentions, and do still lye upon them as a just punishment?
A62715But did ever the Children of Israel cry unto the Lord, and he did not hear them?
A62715But if these members separate from the body, can each member which is separated subsist by it self?
A62715But if we pray to God for divers things, such indeed as are contrary and inconsistent with one another, what returns can we expect?
A62715But if we remain in unity;[ Quid faciunt in hâc civitate duo altaria?]
A62715But now if he look in here, what shall he see but a despicable emptiness?
A62715Can we ask it with any fervour, whilst we have reserves about the terms, whereupon we do desire it?
A62715Canst not thou serve God with so much purity and power amongst us, as in separate Assemblies?
A62715Did they ever murmur and he did not plague them?
A62715Do not the same pray against the peace and settlement which they do pretend to desire?
A62715Doth it nothing move you to anticipate Christs intention, which is our Union, and to further Satans, which is our division?
A62715Fourthly, Then we have the Answer of the Shulamite: what shall ye see in the Shulamite?
A62715God is with us, who can stand against us?
A62715Hast thou any power to add unto the Ministry of the word?
A62715Have we forgotten our deliverences from the power of Spain and Austria, and the Pope of Rome?
A62715Is not all Religion( or at least the power of it) become contemptible?
A62715Is not this the reason therefore of such a distracted State?
A62715Let us ask the several Hereticks of our times; what Heretick do you find that denieth Iesus to be the Christ?
A62715O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you?
A62715O thou that hast turned thus aside, hast thou any light more than others?
A62715Return, return, ô Shulamite, return, return, that we may look upon thee: what shall ye see in the Shulamite?
A62715Secondly, for the person called therefore, and called the Shulamite, who or what was she?
A62715That such clouds of blackness are impendent over us?
A62715That the Heavens are as brass, which our divided prayers can not pierce?
A62715The Answer of the Shulamite: what will ye see in the Shulamite?
A62715We are the darker for the want of it: Hast thou any good affections more than others?
A62715What a bustle have these opinions made throughout the Land, rending in the Body before they rent from it?
A62715What could follow but a miserable inflammation, when there were subjects apt to receive such opinions as some of these?
A62715What mean two divers Churches in this City?
A62715What meaneth this, that husband and wife are one in all but Christ?
A62715What means the scattering of houses?
A62715What should I say, as a mortal man, about the unsearchable judgments of Almighty God?
A62715Which side should God Almighty hear?
A62715Whosoever do not abide with us, but do go out, it is manifest that they are Antichrists: And how is that to be proved?
A62715[ Quid facit communis lectus& divisus Christus?]
A62715[ Quid faciunt divisae domus?]
A62715[ divisá conjugia?]
A62715and if he go there, a more contemptible multitude, for want of order, which is the beauty of holiness?
A62715and the great bond of perfectness, which his Apostles laboured to preserve entire, knowing that Unity and Charity can not be divided?
A62715and to the( then) poor distressed States of Holland?
A62715by their lye: Who is a lyer, but he that denieth that Iesus is the Christ?
A62715for what can you see in the Shulamite that can be taking unto you, that are of another way, and fancy other looks than such as the Shulamites?
A62715how happeneth it that they do so little weigh what the Apostle saith, that one member hath need of another?
A62715husband and wife going two waies?
A62715or a Church which can stand, if she must vary from her order upon all demands?
A62715or any few that joyn together, presently constitute themselves an entire Body, a complete Church?
A62715or any possibility either of a Church or of a Schism?
A62715or can we expect that he should answer cold, uncertain, and lukewarm Petitions?
A62715or with which should he not be offended?
A62715our Aids that we were then enabled to afford to Henry( afterwards the Great) King of France?
A62715our Victories in Ireland?
A62715such exceptions, heats, and scruples?
A62715who could have abode amongst them?
A62715why should Asher continue in his Ports or Creeks?
A85485And may we not yet hope that God will doe better unto us then at our beginnings?
A85485And shall the best Society on earth, the militant Church, be without Ecclesiasticall Governours, proper and peculiar to it?
A85485And what are those fruits, thinke ye?
A85485But may some say, Is this possible?
A85485Can the best of us now come neere to Abraham, other Patriarks and Prophets, in knowledge, faith, parience and other like graces?
A85485Did the Law ever impose such hard tasks upon any that were under the pedagogy thereof?
A85485Except ye utter by the tongue words easie to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken?
A85485Have not our Armies had successe beyond expectation, even to admiration?
A85485Having propounded this Question concerning the Jews, Have they stumbled, that they should fall?
A85485How can that be unbloody, which consists of bloud?
A85485How carefull were the Iudges to draw the people from idolatry, and to keep them close to God?
A85485How good a progresse hath been made in Reformation?
A85485How should we have desired to see them?
A85485How should we have rejoyced to see this day?
A85485I may well use Moses his exprobration against them, Do yee thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise?
A85485If the doers thereof should plead them before God, what other answer could they receive, but this, Who hath required this at your hand?
A85485If they say, the same, what need is there that it should be offered up again?
A85485Is it not by experience found, that such proper and peculiar Governours are needfull and usefull, and so good in their severall sphears?
A85485It is to our unspeakable advantage and benefit; and shall not God have the praise thereof?
A85485Of how much sorer punishment, suppose yee, shall he be thought worthy, who hath treden under foot the Sonne of God?
A85485Should not we then be thankfull, even for the times wherein we live?
A85485This Question( What shall the receiving of them be but life from the dead?)
A85485This emphaticall Interrogation, How much more shall these, which be the naturall branches, he graffed into their own Olive- tree?
A85485This supposition, If the fall of them be riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles: how much more their fullnesse?
A85485Was not Christs once offering of it up sufficient?
A85485Was there ever such a testament before?
A85485What a stop hath been set to Superstition?
A85485What better thing( rebus sic stantibus ut tunc& nunc) could have happened to this State?
A85485Who knowes not how great a difference there is, between the two lights of the Moone and the Sun?
A85485surely evil, such as those whereof the Apostle thus saith, What fruit had you then of those things, whereof you are now ashamed?
A85443( Knowest thou what these be?
A8544311?)
A8544314. Who am I,( sayes he) and what is my people, that we should offer so willingly?
A854433. saying, Who is like unto the Beast?
A854433. their enemies came and questioned them for it, Who hath commanded you to build this house?
A8544330. but because it was carryed on through much opposition?
A854434. Who shall not feare thee, O Lord?
A854437. Who art thou, O great mountaine?
A85443And what follows?
A85443And why did God doe all this for him?
A85443David was afraid of God that day, How( sayes he) shall I bring the Ark of God home to me?
A85443For the first,( the Erecting of it) Did he use might, or power, or an Armie( as it is varied in the margent) to conquer the world by?
A85443For to what end was this mountaine thus removed?
A85443Now with what doth Christ comfort himselfe before he was to dye?
A85443Who shall not feare thee, O Lord, and glorifie thy Name?
A85443You see how contemptuously he here speaks, of the opposition made;[ Who art thou, O great mountaine?]
A85443though great in their owne eyes, yet as nothing in his: He speaks as a Giant unto a Pigmee, Who art thou?
A85443we reade of a perfect victory over the Beast: And whereas before it had beene said of his Holinesse the Pope, Who is like unto the Beast?
A85443when the Jews went to build the walls of the City, the enemies mockt them, and said, What will these feeble Jewes doe?
A85443where are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their land out of my hand?
A85443who is able to make warre with him?
A4065814. Who knoweth whether thou art come to the Kingdome for such a time?
A4065815. to be a busie- body in other mens matters, how great is the offence, to be busie in the Mysteries of the God of Heaven?
A4065824. Who could more, or more justly have inveighed against Saul then David?
A40658Am I, say they, my sonnes keeper?
A40658And Boaz said unto the serv ● nt which was appointed over the Reapers, Whose is this Maid?
A40658And I, whither shall I cause my shame to goe?
A40658And doth it not come within the compasse of the breach of the second Commandement, Thou shalt not bow downe and worship them?
A40658And they said, Is not this Naomi?
A40658And where wroughtest thou?
A40658Are all then to appeare before God, when the Bookes are opened?
A40658Are not all things ordered by Gods immediate Providence, without which a Sparrow lighteth not o ● the ground?
A40658Are there any more sonnes in my Wombe, that they may be your Husbands?
A40658Are we all to be tryed in the Day when the Bookes shall be opened?
A40658Art thou afflicted with povertie?
A40658Art thou in sicknesse?
A40658Art thou then a Widower, who desirest to doe mercie to thy dead Wife; or a Widow, to thy dead Husband; or a Child, to thy deceased Parent?
A40658Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?
A40658But Naomi said, Turne againe my daughters: for what cause will you goe with me?
A40658But a wounded spirit who can beare?
A40658But here ariseth a question, Whether Elimelech did well to go from Bethlehem- Judah, into the Land of Moab?
A40658But here ariseth a question, Whether these matches were lawfull?
A40658But methinks I hear the Widows and Orphants crying unto me, as the Souldiers to Iohn Bapti ● ●, But what shall we do?
A40658But some may say, Why did not Boaz bestow a quantitie of Corne upon Ruth ▪ and so send her home unto her Mother?
A40658But some will say, Why doth God suffer the Foundations to come so neere to be destroyed?
A40658But the very haires of your head are all numbred: And where is their number summed up?
A40658But why is there here no mention of the Living?
A40658But, where is He, say some?
A40658Can God be in so long a sleep, yea, so long a Lethargie, as patiently to permit the Ruines ● hereof?
A40658Contrarie to which, how many be there, ● hat thinke themselves priviledged from being good, because they are great?
A40658Did his intelligence or intellectuals deceive him, to be thus mistaken?
A40658Doe we desire then to have dutifull Children, and faithfull Servants hereafter?
A40658Doe we then desire to gaine credit to our Countrey, prayse to our People, honour to our Nation, reput ● to our Religion?
A40658Doth God punish thee for thy sinne with a personall punishment?
A40658Give me leave Neighbour Elimelech to say unto thee, as the Angel did to Hagar, whence commest thou?
A40658Have I not charged the servants, that they touch thee not?
A40658Have I not commanded the servants, that they should not touch thee?
A40658Here ariseth a Question; How can one shew favour to the dead, who being past sense, are not capable of kindnesse or crueltie?
A40658How comes the holy Spirit to use this word, Hap?
A40658How comes the holy Spirit to use this word; a prophane terme, which deserves to be banisht out of the mouthes of all Christians?
A40658How commeth it to passe, that thy Rivers of Oyl are now dammed up?
A40658How contrarie is this to the practice of the world?
A40658How faireth it with the Bethlehemites my Neig ● bours?
A40658How many in this kinde are cruell to the dead?
A40658How many now- adayes make Deeds of Gift of themselves, without the knowledge and consent of their Parents?
A40658How oft would I have gathered thee together, as an Hen gathereth her Chickens under her wings, and ye would not?
A40658How then commeth it to passe, that many men and women may take up the words of Rebecca, Seeing it is so, why am I thus?
A40658If Envie, and Covetousnesse, and Idlenesses were not the hinderances, how might one Christian reciprocally be a helpe unto another?
A40658If a man be found slaine in the Land, lying in the field, and it be not knowne who slew him; the Elders of the next Citie what should they doe?
A40658If he looks on, and yet doth ● ot see these Fou ● dations when de ● troyed; where then is his Omnisciency?
A40658If he seeth it, can helpe it, and will not, where then is his Goodnesse and Mercy?
A40658If the Foundations be destroyed, what can the Righteous doe?
A40658If the Foundations be destroyed, what can the Righteous doe?
A40658If the Foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous doe?
A40658Is it not a pettie, a small, exile courtesie, and the hearts of poore people shall be comforted thereby?
A40658Is it not at the best some diminution and abatement of his Goodnesse?
A40658Is it possible that the Found ● tions of Religion should be destroyed?
A40658Is not that sentence most true, God stretcheth from end to end strongly, and disposeth all things sweetly?
A40658Is not the ● and of Joab with thee in all this?
A40658Is there any Age so old, wherein a man or woman may not marry?
A40658Is this she which even now was so promising in her words, and so p ● ssionate in her weeping?
A40658It is not said, What can the Righteous say?
A40658It is not said, What can the Righteous suffer?
A40658It is not said, What can they thinke?
A40658It may be objected, Why no mention of the Wife herein?
A40658NO MAN?
A40658Neither can such Fathers be excused, who never say to their Children, as David to Adoniah, Why doest thou so?
A40658None to examine them, as Eliab did David, Wherefore art thou come downe hither?
A40658None to question them, as Naomi did Ruth, Where wroughtest thou to day?
A40658Now as for young Ministers, they have not this advantage, to speake unto young people in the phrase of Boaz, Hearest thou, my Daughter?
A40658Observe in the words; What?
A40658On the other side, hath God afflicted us with Zibahs to our Servants, and with Absalons to our Sonnes?
A40658One may say of it as Lot of Zoar; Is it not a little one, and my soule shall live?
A40658Or was the Providence of God solely confined to his people of Israel, that so Ruth being a stranger of Moab, must be left to the adventure of hazard?
A40658Our Saviour said to the I ● mes; Many good workes have I shewed you from the Father; for which of them goe you about to stone me?
A40658Question, Is it lawfull for us to lissen, hearken, and enquire after matters of forraigne Countries?
A40658Rest, how commeth it to prove my Purgatorie, my Hell, my cause of restlesse I orment?
A40658Secondly, A sad Question propounded, What can the Righteous doe?
A40658Seeing this counsell was both good in it selfe, and good at this time, why doth David seem so angry and displeased thereat?
A40658Shall I take my Wheat, my Rye, and my Barley, which I have prepared for my Family, and give it to the Poore, which I know not whence they be?
A40658Shall livelesse pieces of Wood answer the Names which men impose upon them, and shall not reasonable soules doe the same?
A40658Shall not the Husband blush to see his Wife, which is the weaker Vessel in Nature, to be the stronger Vessel in Grace?
A40658Shall not the Master be ashamed to see that his Man, whose place on Earth is to come behinde him, in Pietie towards Heaven to goe before him?
A40658So they went both untill they came to Bethlehem, and when they came to Bethlehem, all the Citie was moved at them, and they said, Is not this Naomi?
A40658So when any affliction befalleth us, let us presently have recourse unto God, and say, Is not the hand of the Lord the principall cause hereof?
A40658Some might speak out of admiration, strange, wonderfull is this she who once was so wealthie?
A40658Some will say, How is it possible, that Birds of so different a feather should all so flye together, as to meet in the Character of David?
A40658Some will say, What is meant here by House?
A40658Stranger?
A40658The New Translation What can the righteous doe?
A40658The Old Translation What have the righteous done?
A40658The Righteous can, will, and shall suffer much; but alas if the Foundations be destroyed, What can the Righteous doe?
A40658Then her Mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day?
A40658Then her Mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day?
A40658Thinke they may; But what can the Righteous doe?
A40658Thou 〈 ◊ 〉 my s ● ittings, put my teares into thy Bottle; are no ● all these things written in thy Booke?
A40658Was not this too much honour to give to any mortall Creature?
A40658What Can the Righteous?
A40658What a deale of stirre is there in the World for Civill Precedencie, and Prioritie?
A40658What can the Righteous?
A40658What can the Righteous?
A40658What hurt or harme had it been, if they had met her in another field?
A40658What if the Earth had brought forth Thornes and Thistles?
A40658What if the Heathen had superstitiously worshipped the Hoast of Heaven?

A40658What is the rate of Corne?
A40658What maketh Tale- bearers so many, and their Tales so long, but that such persons are sensible, that others are pleasingly affected with their talke?
A40658What the price of Oyle?
A40658What the value of Wine?
A40658What then is to be done in this case, to make man capable of Gods discourse?
A40658What, my Sonnes?
A40658What, would David depart from God, after his deliverance?
A40658When he had said to Peter the third time, Lovest thou me?
A40658Where had Elijah lived?
A40658Who can hinder it, if men of their Girdles and Garters make Halters to hang themselves?
A40658Who hath more golden Sentences then Seneca against the Contempt of Gold?
A40658Who then is able to hold out Suit ● ith God in the Court of Heaven?

A40658Why Naomi, Why didst thou quench the zeale of thy daughters, which proffered themselves so willingly to goe with thee?
A40658Why is the Number altered?
A40658Would he use him as Travellers a Bush?
A40658Would ye tarry for them?
A40658Would you be deferred for them from taking of Husbands?
A40658Yea, but one may say, How came Ruth to know who was the God of Naomi?
A40658Yet as David, when Achish asked him, where he had been?
A40658a Famine: Where?
A40658and what, persons of my wombe?
A40658and what, the Sonnes of my desire?
A40658and whether goest thou?

A794751. and the three last verses, Ye are borne againe, Of what Seed?
A79475Are these things Secrets to you, or are they not?
A79475But alas, how many are there that are more willing to deny Christ and deny the Scriptures, then to deny themselves?
A79475But what shall I call him?
A79475But when, and how soon should we begin to teach our children?
A79475But where is it?
A79475Consider that God is truth, can an understanding minde hate truth which is the very dareling of the understanding?
A79475Doest thou not see that thy nature is extreamely perverted, and become even unnaturall?

A79475Tell me, how doe these Secrets worke upon thee?

A79475What is more precious then Gods truth and our souls?
A79475What saith God, shall I conceale this Secret from my Friend Abraham, blessed Abraham, in whose Seed all the Nations of the Earth shall be blessed?

A79475wouldest thou doe any thing, suffer any thing, forgoe any thing, that thou mightest be at peace with this mighty God?
A37032& c. because thou delights in mercy; or, is there any other thing that more commends him as a beloved preferable to all, than his love?
A37032& c. what went ye out for to see?
A37032( saith she) are ye taken with any lovelinesse ye see in me?
A37032( say the Angels) Why?
A370321. where, Who hath believed?

A3703219, 20,& c. and is not a Company of them much more stately, especially a company of Egyptian horses, which were the best in the World?
A370323. and may be lookt upon, as brought in by way of obviating an objection; who( might it be said to the Bride) will so rejoice in Christ with thee?
A370323. that she was under a great measure of security; in which case she sell into many escapes?
A3703232. be lost, without ● ronging the per ● ection of Canonick Scripture?
A3703245. which is( as it were) a compend of this Song, and is looked upon by all as figurative?
A370326. Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with Myrrhe and Frankincense, with all pouders of the merchant?
A370326. which was spoken by the daughters, and so this looks the liker to be spoken by them also, as wondering at her, What is she?
A370327. Who art thou, O great mountain?
A370329. ye ask what he is more than other beloveds?
A370329?
A37032All this sayes, Christ must be a kind and loving Husband; how greatly play they the fool, that reject him?
A37032An unreasonablenesse and absurdity in the doing of it, Why will ye do it?
A37032And in this affected and stirred condition they answer the Brides charge, O who is this?
A37032And what is the scope of the Gospel, but to set forth Christ''s love to his Church?
A37032Are ye not both stained with sin, and blackned with suffering?
A37032As it imports a difficulty in the thing, how shall I do it?
A37032Ask ye then what my Beloved is?
A37032Ask ye what is to be seen in her?
A37032Awake, why sleepest thou?
A37032Can it be thought, but he lavelled what he wrot here at a scope?
A37032Chapter of this Song?
A37032Consider the question, whether is thy Beloved gone?
A37032Did he not appoint them to be used in David''s time?
A37032From this she argueth, how shall I put it on?
A37032Gold is much, but love is more; what workman but Christ can make this pavement?
A37032Had they not the same Spirit, Covenant,& c. and so the cases and experiences of, or incident to Believers then, are also applicable to us now?
A37032He began formerly at the head, now at the feet?
A37032He sets out her statelinesse, strength and courage, by a similitude taken from horses, are( saith he) Horses stately and strong?
A37032How fair,& c?
A37032How great is thy goodnesse which thou hast laid up, as it were in store?
A37032How may this strike us with fear?
A37032How much better is thy love than wine?
A37032How shall I do this great wickednesse,& c.?
A37032How small a friend is our Lord to tolleration?
A37032How then may we joyn in these?
A37032How usefull was he in God''s work, in building the Temple, ordering all the Levits,& c?
A37032I am in bed, and my children with me, trouble me not,& c. Yea, how can I put them on?
A37032I have put off my coat, how shall I put it on?
A37032I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them?
A37032If any should ask, how makes this last part of the verse for her scope, in removing the offence before these weak beginners?
A37032If it be asked here, what we should judge of these watchmen, if they were tender or not?
A37032If it be asked how she discerned it?
A37032If it be asked, what this imports?
A37032If it be asked, whether that be single love, which loves Christ for his Ointments?
A37032If it be asked, why he insists on particulars in this commendation?
A37032If it be asked, why her giving of two hundred to the keepers, is subjoined to the giving of him a thousand?
A37032If it be asked, why she turnes over this commendatien to him in the second person, Thou art,& c?
A37032If it be enquired in what sense we call this Song figurative, whether as Typical or Allegorical?
A37032If it be partly Typical, how is this Type to be made up?
A37032If it should be asked, Why is this sinful distemper of hers registrat, and put upon record?
A37032If it should be asked, why she descends into particulars, especially now, considering her deserted case?
A37032If so, by what rule would we know, if, or how they did understand them?
A37032In a word then, the sense and scope of the whole is this, Would ye( saith she) have my beloved, or know where he is that ye may seek him?
A37032In the manner of expression here used, who is she?
A37032Is he not away?
A37032Is it likely that he is yours, when he is so far away?
A37032Is it the worse, that it look like the Gospel?
A37032Is there not another way of inquiring after him, than this lazy formal way?
A37032Is this thy kindnesse to thy friend?
A37032It imports an abhorrency and indignation at that evil, of being carried away a whooring from Christ, Why( saith she) should I be,& c?
A37032It may allude thus, what is to be seen in her?
A37032It may be asked then, When are we to account a place of Scripture Allegorick, and are we to seek out some other meaning, than what at first appeareth?
A37032It was before, If ye stir or awake: Here it is( as the margent reads from the Original) why will ye stir or awake?
A37032It''s brought- in here to remove that objection, if he be thine, where is he?
A37032It''s certain, that many Scriptures are Allegorically set down, and is their authority therefore any way lesse than that of other Scriptures?
A37032It''s clear, at first looking upon the words, that he speaks in the 2. verse, and who else can be thought to speak in the first?
A37032May not these examples of David, Solomon, Peter,& c. lay your pride, and put you to your arms, and necessitate you to be upon your watch?
A37032My soul shall be filled as with marrow and fatnesse, how?
A37032Next, the manner of the expression is by way of question, and admiration, Who is this?
A37032No common sight: or, it is to meet with an objection that strangers may have, what delightsome thing is to be seen in her, that seems so despicable?
A37032Now the way she takes to be helped in it, is the putting up this petition to Christ, What shall we do?
A37032O thou fairest among women, whether is thy Beloved turned aside?
A37032Or can it be equalled?
A37032Or, are not such Doctrine ●( if they follow from it) the better& more comfortable?
A37032Or, she her self might object, what is in me worth the seeing?
A37032Or, what is come of them?
A37032Or, what is to be accounted of the losse of them?
A37032Return, return, O Shulamite, return, return, that we may look upon thee: what will ye see in the Shulamite?
A37032She had told them that her Beloved was withdrawn; Now they( when convinced of his worth) ask, whether?
A37032The Directions are two, Would thou know, saith he, how to be kept out of snares?
A37032The daughters of Ierusalem come in speaking to the Brides commendation, in the first part of the fifth verse, Who is this, say they,( or, who is she?)
A37032The first verse contains two pieces of the Brides commendation, The first part that is commended is the feet, How beautiful are thy feet?
A37032The midst thereof is paved with love: What can this be?
A37032The opening of the particular reasons will clear this; The first is, I have put off my coat, and the conclusion is, how can I put it on?
A37032The qualification of her suit is, What shall we do for her, in the day that she shall be spoken for?
A37032The question is proposed by way of comparison, and doubled, What is thy Beloved more than another beloved?
A37032The question propounded by them is, what is thy Beloved?
A37032The scope will confirm this: for, is there any thing that makes Christ more lovely and admirable than his love?
A37032The suit is, What shall we do for our sister?
A37032The third thing is the manner of expression, which heightens all this: It''s expressed with an How?
A37032The watch- men that go about the City, found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
A37032The words may be looked upon as the preventing of an objection, for it might be said, If Christ be yours, where is he?
A37032These are the deserved epithets of his actions: In sum, it is, as if she had said, Ask ye what my beloved is, more than others?
A37032This is the meaning then, why lyes thou in this discouraged, decayed and comfortlesse condition?
A37032This then is the sense and scope, O Professors( saith the Bride) would ye see a stately sight?
A37032Thou shall say( to wit, when the sudden change comes) Who hath begotten me these?
A37032To remove an objection that might be made, if any should say, What needs all this rejoicing?
A37032Was it ever equalled?
A37032We have a little sister, and she hath no brests: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
A37032What Christ is, and the necessity of praying for others, is a suitable subject of discourse in Christian- fellowship; what is Christ?
A37032What hearing of P ● ayer?
A37032What is our hope( saith the Apostle) or crown of rejoicing, are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ, at his coming?
A37032What is thy Beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among Women?
A37032What more is this Allegory of a Marriage, to be accounted Typical, then other places of Scripture, where this same manner of expression is used?
A37032What other Song( even of the most holy Men) can be compared to this?
A37032What other spirit can so speak of Christ and the Church?
A37032What perfections are in Christ( as there are none wanting) they are in him in their perfection: What unspeakable commendation is here?
A37032What presence and clearnesse had he gotten by the Lord''s appearing to him?
A37032What then should she do( might it be said) seing she is so unmeet to converse with him, or look out to the view of any that looks on?
A37032Where are thy bowels?
A37032Wherewith is he to kisse?
A37032Whether is thy Beloved gone?
A37032Who of you, will claim to Solomon''s knowledge, experience, or priviledges?
A37032Who will have a heart to fit Christ''s call?
A37032Why are the same parts named, as eyes, hair,& c. and yet the commendation is different from what it was, for the most part?
A37032Why is the way he followed before changed?
A37032Why is this commendation inlarged beyond the former, having moe particulars in it?
A37032Why weepest thou?
A37032and continued thus eminent for many years, even till he was well stricken in years, and then fell so foully?
A37032and how displeased is he with many errours, that the world thinks little of?
A37032and how happy are they, who are effectualy called to the marriage of the Lamb?
A37032and how many things are there, to plead for that?
A37032and if he be away, why claims thou interest in him?
A37032and that afterward himself made use of it, for his edification and comfort?
A37032and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
A37032and was not Christs way such to them also, as it is to us?
A37032and what love appears in all his promises?
A37032and what piece of work of his, but the Covenant of Redemption, is so lined and stuffed with love?
A37032and who can do great works, such as he hath done?
A37032are there not moe means, in the use of which I may seek Christ?
A37032arise, cast us not off?
A37032how unsuitable to that which was his carriage?
A37032if it be eternal, by reason of sinners constant slighting of him now in the offers of his grace, what desperate anguish will it produce?
A37032is translated Bride, Can a Bride forget her attire?
A37032might she say, whence shall it come, seing I am so black and loathsome?
A37032might they not be better in plain words?
A37032or if they do, who will be able to answer it, when he shall reckon with them?
A37032or might not such plain Scriptures be rather expounded, which bear such Doctrines with lesse difficulty?
A37032or the beloved of another?
A37032sets out Christ positively, and comparatively: Do you ask( saith she) what my Beloved is?
A37032that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved?
A37032they say not, where is our Beloved?
A37032to shew her duty,& c. and is not that same the scope here also?

A47437Hath every Saint a particular Angel to attend him?
A47437Have we such a Guard?
A47437How may this raise the Hearts of Believers?
A47437Inquiry] But why is there so great a fulness in Christ?
A47437Is it not a costly Ladder, of more Worth than ten thousand Worlds?
A47437Is it not a marvellous thing, that Death should be overcome and destroyed by Death?
A47437Is it not a marvellous thing, that the King upon the Throne should lay aside his Robes, and dye for c ● rsed Traytors, and contemptible Beggers?
A47437Is it not a wonderful thing that God and Man, or the divine and humane Nature should be so united to be but one Person?
A47437Is it not an amazing thing, to see Jesus made a Curse to raise Sinners from under the Curse to eternal Bl ● ● ● edness?
A47437Is not that a wonderful thing which Non- plusses all the Wisdom of Men and Angels?
A47437Moreover, What Love is this?

A47437There is no need to prove matter of Fact that it''t is so: What Night, with reference to some or other, doth not utter this point of Knowledge?
A47437Thirdly, Why doth Christ imploy the holy Angels to minister to his Saints?
A47437Thirdly, Why we should behold this Ladder, or look unto Jesus Christ?

A47437and is it not strange and wonderful that vile Sinners should be made Righteous by the Righteousness of another?
A47437and that God should purchase the Church with his own Blood?
A47437and that a Man should Dye, and yet be capable to raise himself from the Dead?
A47437and that sinful Man should be cloathed with a more glorious Robe than any of the holy Angels of Heaven have?

A62648Do you count him prudent, who throws himself over- board to save his goods?

A85371or how hardly shall we prevail with God, while these sins cry against us?
A66354And can any one who serves and loves his God forbear to oppose this?
A66354And can you be so stupid as to think God called you not to Reformation when he exposed you to the Brink of Ruine for former Sins?
A66354And can you be so vile as to think God did all this that you might commit Abominations?
A66354And that he obtained a Victory under such great disadvantages at the Boyn?
A66354And were there not some Faithful Godly Praying Protestants in those places as well as among us?
A66354But can any of you imagine that you are concerned for the good of your Nation, and not divert its Misery by opposing those Sins which do procure it?
A66354But if Virtue should spring up and Wickedness hide the head, how happy wilt thou find thy self in having contributed thereto?
A66354Can any of you doubt whether a Man can be God''s Servant who hath no Zeal for his Glory?
A66354Can any wonder that reproachful Lies pursue you in this Enterprize?
A66354Can you forget what you so lately felt, as the effect of your former Sins?
A66354Had your Dangers no Voice because they are past?
A66354Hath God waited longer on them than you?
A66354Hath he done all this to make you capable of Offending him more, or to oblige you in Gratitude to Reform?
A66354Have we past under less methods of Amendment than they?
A66354His Sacred Name is despised by common Oaths: his Vengeance plaid with by Curses?
A66354How can you persist in provoking a God so great, and sinning against a God so merciful and kind?
A66354How will it revive thy years to see the Blessed Effect of this change of things?
A66354Is God''s Honour more concerned in our Ruin than in theirs?
A66354Moreover, Love to Men is an Essential part of Godliness, for wherein are we like God who is Love, if Love be a Stranger to us?
A66354Must not Guilt lie on that Man who lives in the Stated Omission hereof?
A66354Must not the Zeal of all such kindle as Phineas?
A66354Need you fear your Opposers?
A66354Now if such considerations remove not your Indifferency, and secure you not against Fear and Idleness in this great Design, what will?
A66354Now wherein is God more dishonoured than By open flagitious Crimes?
A66354Now who is a Keeper of the Law?
A66354Or can a Man of that Character sit easie under this Guilt from day to day?
A66354Or that such a multitude of well Equipped Souldiers were Routed by a few undisciplin''d Enniskillen men?
A66354Ought you to despond as if too seeble to carry on this Work?
A66354Was it not our God that Saved this City from being Burnt by the enraged Enemy, at his Return?
A66354Was it not the Lord''s doing that our King fell not by that Cannon Ball which wounded his Shoulder?
A66354Was not God seen in the amazing Retreat of those Weak, Ill provided, Diseased Forces with Duke Schomberg?
A66354Were their Insults and Threatnings so agreeable as to leave no Impression?
A66354What have many ascribed your Debaucheries and Ruin to, more than these?
A66354What is it to me, if he Swear or be Drunk?
A66354Will not your Sins cry as loud in God''s Ears?
A66354Yea, do not all of you profess to be so?
A66354and commence a new Rebellion against himself?
A66354are not the men God employed to Correct them, the Popish Enemies to God''s Cause as well as ours?
A66354how miserable will the Portion of such be found at last?
A66354or should any call you severe when you stop Men from destroying themselves and Nation?
A66354or that your past Calamities do not remain a lively Caution against persisting in those Sins?
A66354that you might return to you Vomit?
A66354will you not Reform those Immoralities which provoked a Merciful God to disarm you, and leave you naked in your Enemies Hands?
A66354would not you be found among the Loyal Subjects and Faithful Servants of your Creator and Redeemer?
A77506& c.] In the next verse he corrects and answers himselfe, How can it cease seeing the Lord hath given it a charge?]
A77506A Resolution by way of answer to his former Expostulation, How can it be quiet?]
A77506Alas what are they?
A77506And O who knowes whether the Lord hath given such a Charge to this Sword of his which is now come amongst us?
A77506And being so, who or what shall oppose this Sword?
A77506And doe we so apprehend and beleeve it to be?
A77506And if their Mercies be cruell, how great is their Cruelty?
A77506And is it so?
A77506And is it this that the Sword cometh about?
A77506And shall wee fall downe before him, humbling our selves at his foote- stoole, and shall hee not have compassion on us?
A77506And what Word was this?
A77506And what a Sword is his?
A77506And what?
A77506And who knoweth whether God hath given it a Commission to goe through the Land?
A77506And why could he not?
A77506And will you know the reason of it?
A77506As our Saviour saith of the Eye which is the light of the Body; If that be darke how great is that darkenesse?
A77506But alas upon what ground?
A77506But what then?
A77506Certainely the Charge which God hath given it, it will observe, and who shall say unto it, bee quiet?
A77506How can it be quiet?
A77506How shall it be diverted?
A77506I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the Sword: Why?
A77506Is this Sword the Sword of the Lord?
A77506Ninoveh the Imperiall City of the Assyrian Monarch, for Circuit, People, Walles, Towers, Fortifications, all incredible; yet,( what saith the Lord?)
A77506Now in this case what shall wee doe?
A77506Now would we know what to doe?
A77506O thou Sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet?
A77506O thou Sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet?
A77506O thou Sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet?
A77506Our Fathers Sword?
A77506Shall the Sword devoure for ever?
A77506So, if the very bowels( the proper seat of tendernesse and compassion) be cruell, ô how great is that cruelty?
A77506The Lord God, the Lord of Hoastes hath drawne his Sword, who shall not tremble at it?
A77506The Lyon hath roared who will not feare?
A77506The Poore; what the World''s Poore, such as are outwardly Poore?
A77506True, it is in the hands of men, managed( as we thinke) by them, but alas what are they?
A77506and in the hand of our Father?
A77506how shall it be opposed?
A77506how shall it be stayed, quieted?
A77506how shall it be stayed?
A77506knowest thou not, that it will be bitter in the latter end?
A77506shall Women be exempted?
A89582Doth it not speak to them, as Moses to the two Israelites, Sirs, you are brethren, doe not fall out one with another: Do not wrong one another?
A89582O Lord God of Israel, why is it come to passe this day that there should bee one Tribe lacking in Israel?
A89582kill, kill, kill; but how shall this be executed?
A89582what good could ever have come of it?
A89582what upon earth brings forth so cursed fruits, as warre amongst the people of God?
A89582who is able to thinke of it without horrour?
A89582why is it come to passe, that the Army that hath done so worthily is destroyed?
A895779. rejoice greatly O Daughters of Zion, shout for joy O Daughter of Jerusalem; what is the matter?
A89577First, if to have a David to be our King, is such a blessednesse?
A89577If you demand what hope is there of it; or what further means may we use for the attaining of it?
A89577Thus should our souls doe; Honourable and Beloved, had you ever more cause of joy?
A89577and what i ● my people that wee should be able to offer thus willingly after this sort?
A89577how beautifull is the face of this Assembly?
A89577how great is the darknesse, where the light is turned into darknesse?
A89577how miserable are they, when the very Fountain, that should afford them comfort is Poysoned?
A89577how miserable is the body, where the very Organs of their breathing, the breath of their nostrils comes to be corrupted, or taken from them?
A89577so I would say else to all Feasters, Is Ireland undon?
A68150Againe, why should Christ die on the sixt day, rather then on the fifth, or fourth?
A68150Againe, with like sorrow he sayth: How often would I haue gathered you togeather, as a Henne gathereth her Chickens, and you would not?
A68150And the Lord sayd, Is any thing vnpossible with God?
A68150And why was there darkenesse vntill the coole of the day, rather then till the Sunne setting?
A68150And yet what could he doe more for them?
A68150Are yee not much better then they?
A68150But if it be of workes, then it is now no grace: What then?
A68150But what saith the Scripture?
A68150First, Christ the Restorer, was borne of a Virgin: Why?
A68150For God who made the eye, shall not he see all the dwellers vpon the earth?
A68150For the sinne of their mouth, and for the wordes of their lippes, they shall be taken in their pride: And why?
A68150How much more then shall he doe the same for you?
A68150How often shall I forgiue my Brother, till seuen times?
A68150How shall hee not with him giue vs all thinges also?
A68150I am hee onely, which for mine owne selfes sake, doe away thine offences, and forget thy sinnes: for what hast thou to make thee righteous with?
A68150If the reason be demaunded why they did so?
A68150Ismaels flouting might be after this sort; Is this hee that shall haue the Promise, in whom the Nations shall be blessed?
A68150It may be obiected, How is Ismael an Egiptian, seeing hee is of Abraham?
A68150Let euery one therefore say, The Lord is my Light and my Saluation; whom then shall I feare?
A68150Oh, how suddenly doe they consume and perish, and come to a fearefull end?
A68150Rebecca being with child, and they both striuing in her wombe, asketh counsell what should become of her?
A68150Sayth the Clay to the Potter, What makest thou?
A68150So likewise Hushas answereth Absalom; for when Absalom saw Hushai Dauids Counseller, he asketh him, Is this thy kindnesse to thy friend?
A68150So that a souldier of Abrahams campe might aske some one of Canaan: Good- man of Canaan, who is this goodly Old man with a hoarie beard?
A68150Some folishly dispute, Why God hath not saued all things, seeing he made all?
A68150The Lord is the strength of my life, whereof then should I be afraid?
A68150The question is of whom?
A68150Then some will say, if God decreeth euery thing, why punisheth he any thing?
A68150To whom?
A68150Tush( say they) how shall God perceiue it?
A68150Was not Abraham our Father, iustified by Workes, when he offered his Sonne Isaacke vpō the Altar?
A68150What art thou that disputest with God?
A68150What haue we to doe with the house of Dauid?
A68150What haue we to doe with the house of Iessai?
A68150What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath appointed for destruction?
A68150Why wentest thou not with thy friend?
A68150Woe be vnto him that sayth vnto his Father, Why begattest thou; and to his Mother, Why barest thou?
A68150Yet if it be obiected, that the tongue of Canaan was Hebrew, how then shall a simple Ploughman vnderstand it?
A68150and leauing him to consider of his sinne, goeth to the woman in like tendernesse, saying, What hast thou done?
A68150is there knowledge in the most highest?
A68150or, thy worke serueth for nothing?
A68150to the Spirits now in prison: Why?
A68150where God sayth to Abraham, Thy seed shall be euill intreated in a Land that is not theirs 400. yeares, seeing they continue in Egipt but 215. yeares?
A89500( i. e.) if religion, lawes, authority& all have lost their awe, what can they doe?
A89500?
A89500But you ought to be more tender of Christs truths ▪ you owe somewhat to Christs Saints and servāts: but I say again, more to his truths?
A89500But you will say these are generalls that concerne the whole Church, especially at such a season, what doe you say to our distempers and distractions?
A89500But you will say this is a worke of time, what is to be done to avoid the danger of the present distractions?
A89500Dost thou not know mee?
A89500If the Lord be with us, why is all this evill befallen us?
A89500Secondly, If you goe to God you must goe to him in his owne way; how is that?
A89500Why he was not more keene against the Papists, and preached not oftner against them?
A89500Zuinglius was once asked by a friend, Cur non contra pontificios?
A89500have greivances been redressed?
A89500have you dealt with God so faithfully?
A89500justice executed, the glory of God''s house provided for?
A89500such great breaches and distractions, the ball of contention bandyed from one to another, cloudes gathering every day thicker& blacker?
A89500with the people so kindly as you should?
A55028( himself tells her so) in which she might be lost, and do nothing at all to it?
A5502833. or else we are told by the Truth it selfe, we are no Christians; we can not be his Disciples?
A550285, 6, Even send a forrein enemy, to take the prey, and take the spoil, and to tread us all down, like the mire of the streets?
A55028And how little help hath the Church had from us in this regard?
A55028And is not here then a strange drunkennesse, at least on one fide?
A55028And may He not call for all that is His, at any time, or any way?
A55028And now can our hazard by endeavor be worse,( at the worst) or more certain, or more reproachfull( though the reproach lesse just) then hers?
A55028And now may I presume one step or two farther?
A55028And now, though every one curses not, or swears like him, yet have not too many of us our fits, when we come into malignant companies, too like this?
A55028And since that season, was it not morally possible to have speeded some things more then they have been?
A55028And that is the other consideration, belonging to this Use, what help is propor and possible to be afforded to the Church in this her need?
A55028And what death more certain, or usually more reproachfull, then for breaking through the known Law of an Imperious Monarch?
A55028And wherefore?
A55028And who knows, whether thou be come to the Kingdom for such a time as this?
A55028Are not you His, by Redemption too?
A55028Brethren, what think you of St. Pauls saying ▪ You are not your owne?
A55028But 2 May we hope the like of any endeavours towards friends?
A55028But are you assured, that you have all the way proceeded with that spirit of encouragement, that these things should have put into you?
A55028But did Gods Prophets for bear ever for either, or both these causes?
A55028But what say you to the killing of the two Witnesses?
A55028But will our consciences now say, We have done so?
A55028But will our consciences say, we have done this?
A55028Can we name those, that have in this kinde been the better for us?
A55028Comming hither as the heads of our severall Tribes, and Elders of our Cities?
A55028Do your consciences now think, that as a Parliamentary Body, you have fully answered all his favours hitherto?
A55028For the other, Was there not a time, when nothing you asked was denyed you?
A55028Have we ever ventured to lose them, rather then they should lose Gods favour, or their souls, or the comforts of a good conscience?
A55028Have we so much as tried in any whether they would endure a reproof?
A55028Have we ventured to have them say, We hate them, because we would not,( could not) forbear to crosse them in their wayes of evill?
A55028He appoints thee to lay out so much for such an use, gives the Church a Letter of Atturney: Is it not thy due to yeeld it upon demand?
A55028Her Person: Which of us, even the highest, matches her greatnesse?
A55028How angry is he then, that will not afford us leisure, or means, nor them any help by us?
A55028How enraged is God, when he so refuses to reform us, who pretended such desire of Reformation?
A55028How exceeding few are otherwise?
A55028How greatly must we needs say, he is provoked against us?
A55028How long wilt thou he angry against the prayer of thy people?
A55028How many are there, whose servants are ignorant, while themselves abound in knowledge, and even while they keep Ministers in their houses too?
A55028How many who while they go to Church, their servants either stay at home, or go to the Tavern, or perhaps worse places?
A55028How many would then indeed resolve to do nothing, and think themselves excusable too?
A55028How much more are earthly men so meant?
A55028How much more then any particular person?
A55028How much more then will this fall heavy upon the forsakers of a Nation of Christians?
A55028How unlikely was it she should prevail with one who in thirty dayes had not called for her, though his wife?
A55028If He will have thee lay it down and give over thy office, maist thou say, I am not bound to yeeld to it?
A55028If He will thee to sleight their friendship in this or that case canst thou say, thou owest Him no such respect?
A55028In a word, thy lims, sense ▪ life, whence hadst thou them, or hast them first and last?
A55028In how fair hopes of setling were we?
A55028Is there any thing we are to Endeavour( let it be what it will) so unlikely to prosper, as this undertaking of hers?
A55028May not that be to come, and even now comming, and where is then your confidence, and the promises you talk of?
A55028Now doth not all this amount to all endeavour, and the Venture of the utmost hazard?
A55028Once more; are you not His altogether, by covenant?
A55028Or if some are, had we power with no more?
A55028Or is the Church helped, by the courage of those against whom God is angry, for their unreformed lives?
A55028Owest thou not all of them to Him?
A55028Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord, shall not my soul be avenged on such a Nation as this?
A55028The Sons in licentiousnesse, according as their fancy leads them?
A55028The phrase in the Text, Who knows?
A55028Thou art a Freeman, in bondage to none; who made thee free spiritually, but Christ?
A55028Thou hast an estate; who gave it thee, but God?
A55028Thou hast friends; who made them friends, and able to shew themselves friendly, but God who rules all hearts?
A55028Thou hast honour and dignity; who promoted thee?
A55028Was it not pity, to drive her forward against such a Canons- mouth; when though she sate still, the Businesse should be done?
A55028What can any one except against this, or except out of this?
A55028What greater certainty can we have, or what equall, that what we are called to Endeavour and Venture for, will prosper if we do altogether nothing?
A55028What have you, which is not His, by Creation, by Preservation; special Providence and gift?
A55028What is the covenant of Christianity plainly, but for Him to be our God, and we His people?

A55028What was the hazard she must rush upon?
A55028What will God regard, if he turn away his eye from such solemn services, from such out- cries of prayers?

A55028and so thy selfe in all respects to Him?
A55028and specially, that will not venture themselves for her help in danger?
A55028are both sides hypocrites?
A55028how extreamly below are the most?
A55028made thee be borne a freeman temporally,( not a slave, as in some countries) but God?
A55028may He not then command them all?
A55028or credited by our silence, when their misbehaviours make a loud noise?
A55028or neither?
A55028or one onely?
A55028or rather lent it thee, made thee steward of it?
A55028or to any of us, can there be lesse hazard, if we forbear altogether any endeavour?
A55028or what is the utmost venture?
A55028or whether they shall and at last, in a peacefull and happy Reformation?
A55028where is this to be found?

A23677Doth God give a Command that this be written for our learning, and shall not we read?
A23677Doth not the Scripture say, That Christ shall come from Heaven, and all the Angels with him; and the dead Saints shall be raised and come with him?
A23677For this Personal coming is that which the Scoffers derided, asking where is the promise of his coming?
A23677For what hath been discovered hitherto of this Mystery?
A23677For who are they that shall live, and reign, or be raised and reign?
A23677How can it be said that this Prince is Christ, seeing the Prince is to prepare for himself and the People of the Land, a Bullock for a Sin- offering?
A23677How can these things be?
A23677How dieth the wise Man?
A23677How dyeth the godly Man?
A23677How long shall be the Vision concerning the daily Sacrifice?
A23677How long shall be the Vision?
A23677How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
A23677How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
A23677How long, O Lord?
A23677How shall Christ be offered when this Temple shall be built?
A23677How shall these Scriptures be reconciled with the former?
A23677How shall these two places be reconciled?
A23677How will this be?
A23677How, and when did they, see it?
A23677I shall not see sorrow, saith Babylon; but what is the Word of the Lord concerning her?
A23677If after this destruction of the Grave Death shall happen to any Saints, how shall it be swallowed up in victory?
A23677If any shall ask, as Paul in another case, What advantage hath the Jew?
A23677If by Peace- Offerings, Meat- Offerings, and Burnt- Offerings, Saints are meant, and their Services; how are these said to reconcile?
A23677If he came to appear in the form of a Servant upon Earth; why may he not come and appear in the form of a Lord, and of the King of Kings?
A23677If he did come to suffer upon Earth; why may he not come to reign upon Earth?
A23677If the casting away of them be the reconciling of the World; what shall the receiving of them be, but Life from the dead?
A23677If the hope of a Resurrection, at so great a distance, was such a support, how much more should it be so now, being much nearer?
A23677If these things be so much expected in Heaven, how much more should they be expected on Earth?
A23677Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the Sun shall be darkned,& c. What tribulation is this?
A23677Is Ephraim my dear Son?
A23677Is Ephraim my dear son?
A23677Is it not then the duty of Churches, and all believers in them, to know these things, and to set their Seals to them that they are true?
A23677Is it so?
A23677Is this any way likely?
A23677Know ye not, that the Saints shall judge the World?
A23677Let the particulars be observed: First the Blood is to be put upon the Four Horns of the Altar: What do these signifie, but the Power of the Godhead?
A23677Next, let this place it self be considered; and first, What was the occasion of these words; Pilate asks Christ, Art thou the King of the Jews?
A23677Not as Pharaoh, who is the Lord that I should obey him?
A23677Now at this time the Priest shall not take a Widow,& c. What is signified hereby?
A23677Now how can that so sweet a day spoken of by Esaias, be the dreadful day spoken of by Malachi?
A23677Now if the thousand years be past, when was the Prophecy of Gog, and Magog, fulfilled?
A23677Now if these things should be weighed in the Balance of Reason, what would it have said, but as Reason did in Mary?
A23677Now it may be said to many of those which stand in that Rank, How long will ye be drunken?
A23677Now observe, this Sun of Righteousness, shall arise with healing in his Wings, what are the Wings of this Sun?
A23677Now the daily Sacrifice being taken in a good sense in this place, why should it not be so in the other?
A23677Now the great question is, what Resurrection is here meant?
A23677Now what doth this signifie, but that there will be a Church?
A23677Now what will better encourage the Witnesses to endure to the end, than the hope of a better Resurrection?
A23677Now when shall this time end?
A23677Now when the Altar hath done its Work as the Lion of God, what shall it be then, and how shall it appear?
A23677Now who shall dwell with those burnings?
A23677Now, seeing Christ expects these things, ought not we to expect with him?
A23677One said to the Man clothed in Linen, How long shall it be to the end of these Wonders?
A23677Pilate asks him again, Art thou a King?
A23677Pilate askt, What is Truth?
A23677Preaching and Administration of Sacraments?
A23677Q. Shall some Saints rule over other Saints in the New Jerusalem?
A23677Secondly, what follows?
A23677Seeing these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?
A23677Shall Heaven come down and be upon Earth, saith Reason?
A23677Shall the Sun in the New Heavens be darkned?
A23677So the Creatures cry, How long, O Lord, dost thou not avenge our bondage on them that oppress us?
A23677So what advantage hath he that knows these Mysteries?
A23677So why may we not gather something from that work of God, in giving them Water out of the Rock?
A23677So, why shall the Saints succeed the holy Angels in their Government?
A23677Surely somewhat else seems hinted; and why may we not think it to be meant of a Land very far off, in respect of the time of its being?
A23677The Memory of what Saints now do and suffer for Christ, will be very grateful and pleasing to him: for what shall Christ say then?
A23677The Souls under the Altar cry, how long, O Lord, dost thou not avenge our Blood on them that dwell on the Earth?
A23677The Water is called Honey and Oyl: And why?
A23677The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
A23677Their Kingdom, what is that but the Graecian?
A23677There are these several Lusts in the World, and the World affords them their several Objects; carnal Delight?
A23677There is lastly, a Beast to be overcome?
A23677They tell a story of a Woman that had seven Husbands successively; and ask whose wife she should be of the seven, in the Resurrection?
A23677This is a great Question: How long?
A23677This is the sense of the Saints in Heaven, and shall any on the Earth contradict the sense of Heaven?
A23677This shall be Immediatly after the Tribulation of those days, what Tribulation?
A23677Those that are clothed with the Sun, or those that are not, nay will not be otherwise cloathed then with the Moon?
A23677Thus was it when Peter, and James, and John saw, as Christ, so Moses, and Elias: and why may it not be thus after the coming of Christ?
A23677Thus we see that there is the Fathers Throne, and Christs own Throne; but where is the place of his Throne?
A23677Vnto the Angels hath he not put into subjection the World to come: But what is man?
A23677What Law?
A23677What a Glorious Liberty will it be for the Sons of God to present themselves before the Lord, and no Satan among them?
A23677What a dreadful thing would it be, to behold a Sea of such Glass mingled with fire, and to be in danger to be driven and forced into it?
A23677What are these, but Fishers of Men?
A23677What doth this signifie?
A23677What end is this?
A23677What is man that thou art so mindful of him, and the son of man that thou visitest him?
A23677What is meant by the Beauties of Holiness?
A23677What is meant by the Border of the Altar?
A23677What is the reason that now''t is otherwise?
A23677What is there of satisfaction given by any, for the discovery of this Mystery?
A23677What may we conceive to be meant hereby?
A23677What profit is there by speaking, or writing of them?
A23677What reason is there then, that you should imbrace this branch of the exhortation?
A23677What shall Christ then do as a Judge, or what shall be his judging- work at the beginning of the thousand years?
A23677What shall be said to those that improve their Talents and Pounds?
A23677What the Creature''s Liberty is, into which it shall be delivered?
A23677What the Creatures bondage is?
A23677What then shall we understand by this Fire?
A23677What things?
A23677What was David''s great affliction in the Wilderness, to his great glory which he had when advanced to the Throne?
A23677What was Joseph''s anguish and trouble, to the joy which after he had?
A23677What will it not attempt, when there is the sweetness of Revenge tempting to it?
A23677When shall Antichrist be destroyed?
A23677When shall the glorious Kingdom of Christ come?
A23677Whence is it that the Creatures shall thus rejoyce with the Saints?
A23677Whether any Saints of the Tribes in the Land or saved Nations shall die in that time, or whether they shall be changed and translated into the City?
A23677Who among us shall dwell with devouring Fire?
A23677Who among us shall dwell with everlasting Burnings?
A23677Why blessed?
A23677Why dost thou judge thy Brother?
A23677Why shall the Saints execute the Judgment written?
A23677Why should not the Fire which Peter speakes of be here meant?
A23677Why?
A23677Will not the personal coming of Christ put an end to Ordinances?
A23677Ye ask that ye may consume it upon your lusts: Lust is a great Devourer; what great Estates are many times consumed by it?
A23677and how much more will it become the people of the Land to do it, when the Jews shall be called, who shall then be in a growing state?
A23677and if Days, why not Years?
A23677and if Years, why not a thousand Years, as the Scripture saith?
A23677and should not these things be taught among the Churches?
A23677and was it not an abomination making desolate?
A23677and what are these things a sign of?
A23677and when this dreadful Conflagration shall be, who shall be like Moses on the Mount that burned, and not be consumed?
A23677and who hath the Understanding to count?
A23677depart from me, I know you not, ye workers of iniquity; you are neither justified nor sanctified, and therefore what should you do here?
A23677even without the works of the established Law; for he adds, do we then make void the Law through faith?
A23677have not we believed, and yielded evangelical obedience?
A23677how long from the time of the Prophecy to the time of the performance?
A23677if not fully up to it: Lord Lord, have we not prophesied in thy Name& c. Have not we taken thee for our Lord?
A23677is he a pleasant child?
A23677shall any of the Stars of that Heaven fall?
A23677some of them of understanding shall fall to try them, and to purge and to make them white; but how long shall this trying time be?
A23677that repliest against God?
A23677this Christ doth not deny, but asks another Question, Speakest thou this of thy self?
A23677what is thy Reason, that it should argue against God?
A23677who shall live when God doth this?
A23677why may we not conclude thus?
A7011139?
A70111And if Pere Simon did not think that they could do him any Service in this matter, why did he alledg them?
A70111And is it not a goodly one?
A70111Answer, And why might not Moses use that way of speaking,( the Canaanite was then in the Land,) is there any falshood in it?
A70111Answer, First, What though Moses was not the Author of this proverbial way of speaking?
A70111Answer, Secondly, But how does P. Simon prove that Moses was not the Author of it?
A70111But can P. Simon prove, that in Abrahams time, Children were not named till after their Circumcision?
A70111But is it not in that place of the Book of Exodus, where P. Simon would have had it to have been?
A70111But some may say, How came King Og''s Bed- stead to be at that time in Rabbath amongst the Ammonites?
A70111But what can be imagined more groundless and undefensible than all this?
A70111But what is all this to the purpose?
A70111Doth not this look too like unto what I mentioned before, that Moses might write the Book of Genesis by an humane fallible Spirit?
A70111In the very beginning of his Laws, writing thus,( God said, but what?)
A70111Is thine Eye Evil, because I am Good?
A70111Moreover, how could be added to this History, the Rebellion of Corah, which is a thing so injurious to all his Posterity?
A70111Moses wrote of me, But if ye beleive not his writeings, how shall ye beleive my words?)
A70111True; it is so, understanding it of the Land beyond Jordan; but what then?
A70111Will they say, there was never such a Man as Moses, and that whatever hath been said of him, are fables invented for delight?
A70111[ If ye shall say, What shall we eat the Seventh Year?
A70111did they cast Lots for it?
A70111is it not a certain truth, That the Canaanites were possessors of the Land of Canaan, when Abraham came first, to Sojourn in it?
A70111is it not usual even with Prophane Authors to speak of themselves in the Third Person?
A70111is not this the highest Ingratitude, both to their God, and to Moses their Guide and Captain?
A70111might they not be numbred at their Circumcision, yea, or before their Circumcision, in Abrahams time?
A70111or could it be done without their knowledg; yea, and who durst be so bold as ever to attempt it?
A70111was it a thing so necessary, that they could not dispense with it?
A70111what could their cruellest Enemies have invented more dishonourable to them?
A70111why must Corahs Family bear that Mark of Infamy, rather than any other?
A70111will it follow that therefore Moses could not be the Author of the Pentateuch?
A70111would not this have been a venturing to lose all, for to gain nothing?
A67563And he said, This evil is of the Lord, Wherefore should I wait upon the Lord any longer?
A67563And how plain and conspicuous have been the signatures, and impressions of the hand of God upon those Calamities?
A67563And how shall this same calamity be removed?
A67563And now what consequence would any one expect from such an antecedent?
A67563And we, that have judged another, have we not condemned our selves?
A67563Are not all these things strange and wonderful?
A67563As he hath smitten us more and more, have not we revolted more and more?
A67563As the Lord''s hand hath been more and more lifted up, have not we endeavoured with an higher and higher hand, to sin against him?
A67563Because the Lord hath vexed him by his plagues, will he endeavour to plague the Lord by his wickedness?
A67563But what then becomes of the 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A67563Can a woman( saith the Prophet Isaiab) forget her child?
A67563Chaldee 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉: Cur patienter me geram?
A67563Did ever any man exalt himself against God, and hath prevailed?
A67563Doth he not deserve to be punished and tormented with many stripes?
A67563Have they prevailed upon us, to break off our sins by Repentance, or to continue in them, and increase them with a brisker and sturdier resolution?
A67563How great and manifold have been the Calamities of this poor sinful Kingdom?
A67563How was Elisha concerned in what had happened?
A67563I call it an Inference because in effect this deliberative question carries the force of a strong negation, Wherefore should I wait?
A67563IS this now your Judgment and Determination?
A67563In all this is not the hand of God clearly to be seen?
A67563In respect of Publique Calamities, which have been brought upon us?
A67563In the Valley of Hinnom for the wickedness of his madness?
A67563Instead of being a Sober and Fasting People, are we not become a Riotous and Drunken People?
A67563Instead of being made a Religious and a Praying People, are we not become an Atheistical, and a Scoffing, and Blaspheming People?
A67563Is not this the folly and madness of wickedness?
A67563Is not this the wickedness of folly and madness?
A67563Is not this( I say) Englands case?
A67563Is this the sentence of this great and noble, this wise and honorable Assembly?
A67563Let not God help thee, how should I help thee?
A67563Nay, have we readily accepted and embraced such means as have been tendered to that purpose?
A67563Of our Behaviour in reference to those Calamities?
A67563Or will he cause Quails or Manna to fall from heaven, and remove the Famine, wherewith himself and people are distressed?
A67563Septuagint 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Quid deprecabor?
A67563The way of force and compulsion: and the former of these he hath declined, and will he therefore betake himself to the later?
A67563Then how hath God declared himself as to Prayer and Fasting on one hand, and to Cursing and Swearing on the other?
A67563This evil is from the Lord, Wherefore should I wait upon the Lord any longer?
A67563To all which he replies in these words, Mah Ochil ladonai: Wherefore should I fast and pray, or betake my self to weeping and mourning?
A67563To be tormented( as it were) in Bedlam, for the madness of his wickedness?
A67563Was it only the case of that King of Israel?
A67563We see him coop''d up by the King of Syria, and will he now make War with the King of Heaven?
A67563What doth this man intend to do?
A67563What is the coherence?
A67563What shall we do to be saved from ruine and destruction?
A67563What sort( I say) of Spiritual Judgment, or Temporal Calamity?
A67563When God shall call us to answer upon such interrogatories, how are we provided to reply?
A67563Whether we can wash our hands of the universal Irreligion and Debauchery which seems to have over spread the Land?
A67563Who would not expect that the words should run thus?
A67563Why should I submit and humble my self under the hand of God?
A67563Will he arise in the power of his might, and make a gallant sally, and so scatter and confound his adversaries?
A67563Will he cause the earth to open, and swallow up this Benhadad, and cover the Congregation of the Syrians?
A67563Will it not be fit therefore for us, to examine our condition, to consider what we may expect, and what is fit for us to do?
A67563You speak of Praying, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A67563You talk of Waiting, have I not waited all this while?
A67563You tell me of the Lord, Who is the Lord that I should concern my self about him?
A67563and is it not the case of this Kingdom of England?
A67563and what doth this resolution signifie?
A67563are they not marvellous in our eyes?
A67563had he devoured the child that was dead, or hid the living child; or brougt the Famine upon Samaria?
A67563he said, This evil is from the Lord; wherefore should I wait on the Lord any longer?
A67563is not this case of Joram a monstrous and a prodigious case?
A67563or where is the Logick of this cursing and damning resolution?
A67563or wherein lies thy confidence, that thou rebellest?
A67563that strivest against God?
A67563to what end should I pray?
A67563were not this a foolish imagination, an instance of stupidity and madness?
A67563what had he done?
A67563what is the hope wherein thou trustest?
A67563what shall we do, that the Blood of Jesus may speak better things for us, then the Blood of the Righteous Royal Martyr?
A89578David the man after Gods own heart exceeded all others in this thing, Quid retribuam?
A89578How miserable had we been, if we had been deprived of them?
A89578Now I beseech you, is it not pity that these things should be lost?
A89578Now, when such opportunities as these are in your hands, to doe such great things for God, how silent should all slesh be, till this worke be done?
A89578Shall not God have glory for all this?
A89578This( said he) hee ordained for a Law, and a Statute for Israel: what was this Ordinance?
A89578What shall I say?
A89578Where was it done?
A89578Who is sufficient for these things?
A89578do they not all lye buried ingloriously?
A89578hath not the Lord made the moth& corruption to rot them al?
A89578how much so ever they magnified themselves, or were flattered by others, who now wil honour them?
A89578how shall wee lift up our heads before God, when he shall reckon with us for this ingratitude?
A89578shall not our hearts bee lifted up to give him praise?
A89578what a catalogue should every one of us have, how full should all our memories and records bee, who receive them thus by heapes upon heapes?
A89578what shall I give the Lord for all his mercies towards us?
A89578what shall I render unto the Lord?
A89578who can shew forth all his goodnesse?
A89578who can tell the loving kindnesse of the Lord?
A89578who now extols Pharaoh for a wise King, Absalon for a compleat Courtier, Achitophel for a politique States- man?
A89578who now would have the lot of any of them?
A895641. Who it was?
A8956456. who pretended zeale for the poore, Quorsum haec perditio?
A89564Behold, thou art called a Jew, instructed in the Law, makest thy boast of God,& c. Dost thou commit Sacriledge?
A89564But how shall we get it?
A89564Can all the world quiet that, that God giveth a charge to?
A89564Dost thou commit aduitery?
A89564Dost thou steale?
A89564For the first, The Lord saith it here in expresse words; Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar hath pacified my wrath; how?
A89564Secondly, what was the cure that he wrought?
A89564Shall I thus requite the Lord, O foolish creature and unwise?
A89564The second thing considerable is, whence it comes that this grace of zeale should bee able to pacifie the wrath of God?
A89564What abundance are there that are wholly lukewarm, if not key- cold, that have no mettle, no heate in the world for God?
A89564What then?
A89564more then hony, more then thousands of gold and silver; his hatred, Doe not I hate them that hate thee?
A89564what Prometheus may wee send to heaven to fetch downe this sacred fire?
A89564what is there in my head or heart, in my soule or body, in my treasury, shop or house, which may be of any use for the Lord?
A89564when wilt thou bee quiet?
A89564whence it is?
A89564wherein may I be imployed and laid out?
A89564why is thy indignation thus hot?
A08804& c. Who shall then have pitie upon thee, O Ierusalem?
A088041 Quid fe ● i?
A088042 For search of our conscience, quid feci, what have I done?
A088042 His question: where is Abel thy brother?
A088042 With the auditours of Peter, Viri fratres, quid faciemus?
A088043 For full resolution, quid mer ● i, what have I deserved?
A088043 What is his suit?
A088047 What revenge?
A08804A wicked man in a Congregation the Apostle calleth leaven, Know yee not that a little leaven sowreth the whole lumpe?
A08804After all to procure his death, did he not sinne against Bathsheba to defile her?
A08804Alas, what benefit is the truth of our inward parts to him?
A08804And Hazael said: But wh ● t, is thy servant a dogge, that he should do this great thing?
A08804And if sinnes of omission do smart so upon offenders, and sinnes of desire; how deep is the scarlet dye of sinnes of commission?
A08804And now in the time of the Gospell, is not Baptisme the laver of our new birth?
A08804And now what shall I say, and what shall I doe unto thee, thou preserver of men?
A08804And was this to quite us from all passion?
A08804And what should a true penitent rather desire of God then the well- fare of his Church?
A08804And when Hazael demanded why weepeth my Lord?
A08804And who is he that will harme you, if ye be followers of that that is good?
A08804As Israel, Can God furnish a table in the wildernesse?
A08804Bonam vis domum, uxorem bonam,& cur non teipsum bonum?
A08804But doth not David presume to promise this?
A08804But had Zimri peace who slew his Master?
A08804But here remaineth a great scruple: Was not David circumcised?
A08804But how did God breake the bones of David here?
A08804But how doth David promise himselfe this whitenesse above snow?
A08804But how shall this be unto me?
A08804But it is replyed, if they had this good spirit, why did it not confirme them in their estate that they might not fall?
A08804But what if it concerne him?
A08804But what say the books of time or what can our observation of our time testifie of broken and contrite hearts for them?
A08804But you may demand what any spirit of contradiction can alledge against Davids disert confession of his formation and conception in sinne?
A08804Can there be a greater folly then to leave the fountaine of living water, and to make our selves cisternes that hold no water?
A08804Can this do lesse then engrieve our soules, and charge them with heavinesse, even to the death?
A08804Cease from man whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherin is hee to be praysed?
A08804Christ: What say men that I am?
A08804Come to the judgement of most voyces, all the people shall say Amen; for who will blesse where God curseth?
A08804Dare any man trespasse a King, when his eye is upon him?
A08804David asketh the question, who shall ascend to the hill of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?
A08804David describing his sinne, saith; My wounds stink, and are corrupt: Do you know the pain of washing such wounds?
A08804Did he not sinne against Joab, to make him a murtherer?
A08804Did he not sinne against his own body, to destroy the temple of the Lord, and to defile a vessell of holinesse with uncleannesse?
A08804Did he not trespasse his double unction of King and Prophet?
A08804Did he not trespasse the Church which was ashamed, and grieved at his aberration?
A08804Did not he offend Vriah in defiling his bed?
A08804Did the death of her sonne call her sinne to remembrance?
A08804Do not all sinners ● ell Heaven and eternall life for the feeding, and fewelling of their darling sinnes?
A08804Do you not perceive the necessity of it?
A08804Doe the Saints know one another in heaven?
A08804Doe you thus requite the Lord, ô foolish people, and unwise?
A08804Doth not the Wanton undo his body, his posterity, his very soule, for the fulfilling of his lust?

A86987how hath it made those glorious Luminaries to stand still in the midst of Heaven for the space of a whole day?
A86987how hath it stay''d the course of the Sun and Moon?
A86987how many Cities are there by War laid waste and demolished?
A86987how many Victories hath it obtain''d?
A86987how many are there that refuse fellowship and communion with us?
A86987how many noble structures are turn''d into ruinous heaps?
A86987how?
A86987in whom shall we trust, in whom shall we repose our hopes for the peace of Jerusalem but in the Lord our God?
A86987that have particular places to meet in, and a singular way of worship to themselves?
A86987what peace can we expect if we dwell not together in unity?
A86987without this, as well as prayer, how can He break the power of the ungodly and malicious?
A34747A black gown, or Canonical coat?
A34747A service- book, or book of homilys?
A34747Again, doth the voice of the Lord command all wheels?
A34747And are not these Seekers just so?
A34747And first for the principal Architect: who is it that fastens the nail?
A34747And first: Are all things in the world, but as so many wheeles, so many rolling things?
A34747And in Ministring justice, ever have this in your minds: We are nails to bear the burden of Authority: who fasten''d us here?
A34747And is it so grievous to be driven from our habitations?
A34747And is not the King that nail?
A34747And must I not go along with him in every thing?
A34747And of the Vine- branch which is amongst the trees of the Forrest?
A34747And the great question at that severe day of examination shal be: what service have you done?
A34747And what disorderly motions are there in all our wheels, great and smal, high and low?
A34747And what hath made England so rich?
A34747And what of all this?
A34747And what''s the next?
A34747And what''s the reason of all this impatience?
A34747And what?
A34747And wherefor ● is all this?
A34747And would Christ be put off so?
A34747And yet here''s a further comfort to Jerusalem: Doth the voice of the Lord command all wheels?
A34747Are all things in this world but turning wheels?
A34747Are these indeed for the glory of their fathers house?
A34747Are they able, useful nails?
A34747Are they vessels of the Sanctuary?
A34747Art thou displeased at the motion of the King?
A34747Be content to waite, is it not a little while?
A34747Be well shod: be couragious: how can the Wheel move long without shattring, except it have a good strake?
A34747Behold it''s cast into the fire for fewel, the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burnt; is it meet for any work?
A34747Both are exalted very high: now tel me which wil you chuse to depend upon?
A34747But do we not see other irregulat motions?
A34747But doth it so?
A34747But that thou shalt live here, and dye here, and lay thy bones here?
A34747But the wheels at the feet of the Cherubins, what are they?
A34747But what answers Daniel?
A34747But what may be the reason, or ground of this?
A34747But what place?
A34747But what service do they as Magistrates?
A34747But what''s the end?
A34747But what?
A34747But why are Magistrates called nails?
A34747But you wil say perhaps, how may we know the best nails?
A34747Do they not want eyes?
A34747Do you not see abundance of false prophets run up and down like wheels?
A34747Do you not see what abundance there are of these?
A34747Doth God cry any word in your hearing?
A34747Doth God fasten only such as be godly in a sure place?
A34747Doth Michaiah prophesie evill to wicked Ahab?
A34747Doth it not abound with flourishing Cities, and fruitfull fields?
A34747England hath been a quiet, and setled Land for many years; and hath it not grown a Magazine of wealth?
A34747Gods Throne moves upon Wheels: What''s the meaning of that?
A34747Hath God fastened in the Church, and Common- wealth good, profitable, and serviceable nayls?
A34747Hath not God set him upon the throne?
A34747Hath not this been a common word: whosoever be New- elect, we know who will be Maior?
A34747Have they not discovered their dangers, and called them to repentance, saying O do not these abominable things which the Lord hateth?
A34747Have they too little understanding to govern?
A34747How many gathered Churches or Congregations are there?
A34747I know you can not miss applying of it: hath not the Lord cryed in our ears by his sons of thunder?
A34747I mean, licentious, unlicenced alehouses: Oh how loud did some wheels crake?
A34747I wil make thee the living creature, and thou hast thy wheels about thee: how do they move?
A34747If a nayl be not at leasure to bear vessels, knock it out; why doth it trouble the wall?
A34747If thou in the mean time be un- deserving, unworthy, and base?
A34747In the eye of the world, who could be faster rivetted in his high place, then Shebna?
A34747In the name of God; what makes this stopping?
A34747Instable, and rouling?
A34747Is a fixed and setled condition such a sweet blessing?
A34747Is every wheel turned by the voice of the son of God?
A34747Is it for the honour of your Citie to have Sodoms Character?
A34747Is it not as an oyntment powred forth, even as the fragrant spikenard?
A34747Is it the Lord of hosts hath made you rulers?
A34747Is that the way to bring it into contempt?
A34747It may be worth inquiring, what is the matter the Wheels move no better?
A34747Know you what you pursue?
A34747Let it not, I beseech you, be said of you, as Paul sometimes said of his Galatians, Ye did run well, who did hinder you?
A34747Me thinks I hear some reply: what nail should we depend upon but that which the Lord hath fasten''d?
A34747Must Gods Prophets and Ministers speak what they hear from God?
A34747Must the Prophets tongue be charmed with fair words?
A34747Must we Ministers cowardly for fear, forbear to tell the people of their transgressions, and the house of Juda of their sins?
A34747Neither here can you avoid the Application: Doth not the Lord seem to be departing from England?
A34747No motion but by his appointment?
A34747Not at leasure, saith shee, to do justice?
A34747Nothing but great iron hobnayles?
A34747Now what shall I present?
A34747Or at the motion of the Parliament?
A34747Or rather who is it?
A34747Or what wil God now give unto man wherein he may rest?
A34747Or wil men make a pin thereof to hang a vessel thereon?
A34747Or, may not this bee the cause of their not moving?
A34747Perhaps sometimes they will roul to the Court of Justice: and what do they there?
A34747Rejoyce rather: what a world of comforts may your Ladiship have in your loss?
A34747Saul seeing the people lament bitterly, said unto them: What ayleth this people that they weep?
A34747Shal wood be taken thereof to do any work?
A34747TO whom was this word cryed?
A34747That pride, fulnesse of bread, and abundance of idlenesse is in her?
A34747That the voice of the Lord should thus command, and over- aw all the wheel''s?
A34747The Exposition And I] and who is that?
A34747The King is the head, the houses are the body; if you take the head off the nail, what can hang safely on it?
A34747The Kingdom is departed from thee: So commeth the word of the Lord to Shebna; What hast thou here?
A34747The Voice of God from the Throne hath called to us a long time; Oh Wheel?
A34747The Wheel shall be broken at the Cistera: and what is the meaning of that?
A34747The living creatures move, the Angels move, the wheels move swiftly, and shall we stand still?
A34747The middle nails: they are the Ministers of the word, the Clergy, as they call them; wel what hangs upon the most of them?
A34747The nail that''s fasten''d: what, or who is that?
A34747The question is, why should the son of God cry this word, O Wheel, in the Prophets hearing?
A34747The wheels were lifted up stately, and moved gloriously: whence was that?
A34747The whole world what is it but a Sphere?
A34747Their motion is just like that of the jack- wheels; they turn and turn, but what do they turn?
A34747Ther''s a goodly row of them: but let''s see what service they do in their places: What hangs on then?
A34747Ther''s some of the greater sort of Nayls, look what hangs on them?
A34747There are other of the high Nayls hang very full of things: But of what?
A34747There were Devils in a man, and when they saw Christ approaching, they feared he would rebuk them, and what did they to prevent it?
A34747Therefore sayes David, Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: Say, Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces: And why?
A34747They that have a setled habitation in a land where Gods worship is established: And why?
A34747This is certain; our motion still is neerer and neerer to the end: what a deal of our motion is spent since we came together into this place?
A34747This was the vision, but what was the signification?
A34747Thus saith the Lord, hast thou killed, and also gotten possession?
A34747To descend to lesser wheels: do not things go with thee according to thy desire?
A34747Too little ability?
A34747Upon this Theater of the earth, how doth man act his part?
A34747Upon this Theater of the earth, how is the Church of Christ wheeled, and hurried up and down?
A34747Upon whom was the eye of all the Court but upon Shebna?
A34747Vbi?
A34747Wel, but what was the end?
A34747What I not one one Wheel to draw away the Fish on the Lords day?
A34747What abundance of empty nails do we see round about?
A34747What are these but Atheists, and such as deny Providence?
A34747What burdens have you born in the Church and Common- wealth?
A34747What but a plurality of livings?
A34747What cometh of the Vinetree above all other trees?
A34747What hast thou here?
A34747What made you stand still, or go back?
A34747What miseries do they endure?
A34747What nail is it?
A34747What nail?
A34747What not one Wheel to break the brood of drunkards, and Ale- house- haunters?
A34747What not one Wheel to draw off the beggars from our heels?
A34747What proper place is now left for man?
A34747What shal their end be?
A34747What should I speak of Families?
A34747What was he then?
A34747What''s the reason of this?
A34747What?
A34747Whatever hath been, or whatever shal be hereafter, peace or war, order or confusion, safety or ruin: what shal we say?
A34747Where are you?
A34747Where is this nail fasten''d?
A34747Whereto shal I liken this accursed generation?
A34747Who would not have hanged upon Shebna( that had looked with a carnal eye) and declined Eliakim?
A34747Why do you let them lie so quietly?
A34747Why dost thou think thy self fastened here as a nayl that can not be removed?
A34747Why then art thou at leasure to be a King?
A34747Why, how comes that about?
A34747Why, what might the matter be?
A34747Why, what''s their special wickedness?
A34747Wil not your honor be offended if I show my folly, and boast a little to the world?
A34747Would you be exalted to honor?
A34747Would you have able and faithful Magistrates and Ministers in your City, in the Kingdom?
A34747Would you have the Church and Kingdom, and City flourish again?
A34747Would you have?
A34747Would you keep good and serviceable nails?
A34747Would you stand fast in your places of dignity?
A34747Yes good reason: What hand should turn the wheel, but the same that made it?
A34747You see how many evils are upon us, how great our dangers: would you remove all these?
A34747and scattered?
A34747and whom hast thou here?
A34747and whom hast thou here?
A34747are not those sins, and many more, ours?
A34747are these things for the glory of your fathers house?
A34747do not the wheels move to thy liking?
A34747doth the reproving the faults, and negligences of Magistrates, strike at the root of Magistracy?
A34747have not the faithful messengers of the Lord shewed the people their transgressions, and rebuked them sharply?
A34747have they too little substance, two little height?
A34747how bitterly did they speak against them?
A34747how did they threaten them?
A34747how forward and active have they been in reforming abuses, and doing for the good of the City?
A34747how neer is his exit to his entrance?
A34747if ever they came in place they would do, I that they would, great matters: at last power comes into their hands, and what is done then?
A34747mutato nomine: change but the name: for Ierusalem read Norwich: for Iuda and Israel read England, and doth it not hold right?
A34747or at the motion of the Army?
A34747that thou hast hewed thee out a Sepulchre here& c. which is, as if he should have said: what business hast thou in this Land?
A34747the great Wheels the Magistrates?
A34747the want of GODS Spirit dwelling in them?
A34747the want of zeale for God?
A34747thou hast turned very well, thou hast done worthily in thy place?
A34747what burden do they bear?
A34747what kindred?
A34747what not one Wheel appear to scatter the open prophaners of the Lords day?
A34747what office was he settled in?
A34747where are the Wheels all this while?
A34747why do they not stir?
A34747why do they not turn, and run more frequently and diligently into their several Wards?
A34747why do you not turn in your Sphear?
A34747why move you not?
A34747why persecutest thou me?
A34747would not one think there had been some greasing of the Wheel, it is so quiet and still, on the suddain?
A34747yea, though it be nothing but what God spake in his hearing; what''s next?
A34747— Amphora coepit Institui, currente rota, cur u ● ceu ● exit?
A89587And so in Egypt how long did Gods people mourn there?
A89587But how shall we know it?
A89587Doe you whore, and drinke, and sweare, and lye, and abuse my Name and Ordinances, and think you of praying?
A89587How many in every place( who have served the Lord in this great work) hath prayer helped at a dead lift?
A89587How often have Moses hands lift up upon the Mount, helped Joshua fighting in the valley, and covered his head in the day of battell?
A89587I beseech you, will you pray for me, will you please to remember me at the throne of grace?
A89587Is it so, that when God builds up Zion he answers all his peoples prayers, even their private prayers, as well as this great one?
A89587Is prayer the great Master- builder on earth?
A89587Is the building up of Zion the fruit of Gods peoples prayers?
A89587Now if you demand, Why, or wherefore is it that prayer should be able to doe so much?
A89587Was not this a mighty honour put upon Job?
A89587When God told Abimelech that he and his house were but dead men, unlesse Abraham prayed for them, did he not thereby highly honour his servant?
A89587Why then doe they so long goe without their answer?
A89587Why then doth he deferre and seem to despise them?
A89587all your Garrisons, Assemblies, Committees, well stocked and stored with praying Saints?
A89587and why doth the Lord defer to answer them?
A89587art thou able to say it before God, Build but up Zion and I have enough?
A89587for Nebuchadnezzars peace?
A89587how much would we then endevour to have our Armies furnished with praying Ministers and Souldiers?
A89587so the Lord will say, Prayer I know, but what are ye?
A89587that like a Dragon had swallowed them, and like a Lion had crushed their bones?
A89587who am I Lord, that I should have a heart to give any thing to thee?
A89587why are they and their prayers destitute?

A15991But because wee beginne with Moses, to halt in the beginning of prayer, shall we not therefore persist and renew our petition?
A15991But here the doubt is renewed, for which is that way, the narrow way that leadeth vnto true rest?

A55228Or could he not the bare breath of his mouth, have made all his Enemies fall to the round, as he did some of them that came to take him?
A55228Or may it not be?
A55228Or, as Some, Is it thus said?
A55228Or, that they should be restored?
A55228Others much s differently expound the first words, not understanding Evil, but Good, What, i. e. how much, good have I done unto thee?
A55228Ought it thus to be said?
A55228R. Sa ● mo Iarchi, who taking the first words as referred to the Enemy, which said, Where is now thy God?
A55228Secondly, that of others reading the words interrogatively, Art thou little?
A55228Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances?
A55228Shall not the Land be greatly polluted?
A55228So that he being forced to it said, how shall I curse whom God hath not cursed, or how shall I defy whom the Lord hath not defied?
A55228So the Greek, coupling it with the preceding words according to their Version, who shall adorn the City?
A55228So, Who is the high places of Iudah?
A55228Some thus, Is this said among you, O house of Iacob?
A55228That which she saith to her enemy is, Rejoice not against me?
A55228The Ancient M. S. Arab version, which we cited, renders the whole thus, It is said among the house of Iacob, Is the power of the Lord shorned?
A55228The Chaldee paraphraseth the former part of the verse, what good have I said that I would do to thee, and have not done it?
A55228The Mountains and hills( saith a a learned Iew) are dead inanimate things, and can not be guilty of Sin, why then should he reprove them?
A55228The Spirit of the Lord is shortned: yet the Chaldee Paraphrast seems so to take it, rendring, Is it right which the house of Iacob say?
A55228There being put the same question that here, what doth the Lord require of thee?
A55228There is therefore nothing said except they mean it is the Hebrew which is called Syriack, and who should mean so?
A55228These things which you do such works as he requires from you, or is pleased with; or, Are these such works as become the house of Iacob?
A55228This would be my transgression,( it would be a very great wickedness and not fit for me to do;) or shall I offer for a sacrifice the fruit of my body?
A55228Were these his Properties?
A55228What commands have I given thee, or what have I required to be done of thee, the doing of which might be a trouble and wearisomness unto thee?
A55228What iniquity have your Fathers found in me, that they are gone from me?
A55228What is the transgression of Iacob?
A55228What is the transgression of Iacob?]
A55228What is?
A55228Where( if they had such) any Assyrians( they being so long since cut off from being a Nation) to tread in them?
A55228Who is her enemy that she speaks to?
A55228Who is the cause of the transgression of Iacob?
A55228Will he change the portion of my People?
A55228Yet doth the Prophet summarily repeat it to them, and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly,& c. What but these things?
A55228[ Is there] yet unto every man an house of the wicked?
A55228and do my words no good with him that walketh aright?
A55228and what are the high places of Iudah?
A55228are these his doings?
A55228are they not pleasing to him, promising to him good,& instructing and correcting him for his good?
A55228as if he were not able to direct them what to say, or should not have liberty to cause them to prophecy and denounce what he pleaseth?
A55228as in the person of God) build up, or establish Zion with blood, and Ierusalem with iniquity?
A55228because they were apt to say, What a weariness is it?
A55228d Are these his thoughts and works?
A55228do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
A55228how great mercies shew''d to thee?
A55228how readest thou?
A55228i. e. Shall our fields which are divided to; or by the enemy, return or be restored to us again?
A55228i. e. will not they be ashamed of such doings?
A55228i. e. with such your evil doings shall ye continue in my chosen land my glory the glory of all Lands?
A55228in the house, or at the house, otherwise his words may sound, Is there yet the house of the wicked, treasures of wickedness?)
A55228it would in this sense rather found, would God I were a Man,& c. Again by what interpretation can this be made a wish befitting the Prophet?
A55228or ought not shame to be brought on such as these?
A55228or should not have power by them to pronounce against you evill things and to bring them to pass?
A55228or, Are these punishments and judgments that he denounceth, his constant workds, or those that he delighteth to do?
A55228or, What is the saying of the house of Iacob?
A55228or, What is this that is said, O house of Iacob?
A55228or, f as Others think it more properly rendred, Who is the transgression?
A55228r Some for explication add, What evill have I done unto thee?
A55228reading it, Are not my words good?
A55228shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves ef a year old?
A55228shall I give my first born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A55228shall fire and the house of the wicked treasuring up treasures of wickedness?
A55228that is when such sins are committed in it: g or, Did he build Zion with blood, or, Ierusalem with iniquity?
A55228that is, Who is the cause that in several places of Iudah high places, contrary to the law, are built for false worship?
A55228that is, the King, or inhabitants of Samaria?
A55228that thou shouldst thus behave thy self towards me, as thou dost: Wherein have I wearied thee?
A55228the enemy, the King of Assyria, that blasphemeth God, shall divide our fields, and give them all to his servants?
A55228these words that I the Prophet speak, that he walketh with the upright: or, Shall not my words please you?
A55228this would be the sin of my soul; and how shall I do this great wickedness?
A55228to prosecute revenge so as to destroy us his People, and forget to be good to us?
A55228was he wo nt thus to deal?
A55228which meaning may agree with either of the foregoing: and the latter part thus, and what hard[ or grievous] infirmity have I multiplied upon thee?
A55228whither shall he betake himself for refuge?
A55228x Are these his works?
A85763& c. and give a defiance to all our enemies, saying with the Psalmist, Of whom shall I be afraid?
A8576310. Who is she that looks forth as the morning?
A8576313. and what not?
A8576315?
A8576318. reall and indeed: therefore sayes our saviour to Peter, and in him to all pastors; Peter, lovest thou me?
A8576321. Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lo ● t my Children, and am desolate?
A8576335. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
A857635. Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness leaning upon her beloved?
A857636. Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness, like pillars of smoke, perfumed with Myrrh and Frankincense, with all powders of the Merchants?
A85763And specially to do this in the upright discharge of our particular callings, therefore said our Saviour to Peter, Lovest thou me?
A85763And therefore for these reasons and many more, should not we open to him when he comes and knocks at our dores?
A85763But here a question may be demanded, to wit, whether the Church, or any godly soul therein, be ever without Christ?
A85763But how and by whom?
A85763But how comes it, that she so boldly and familiarly talkes with Christ,( let him kisse me)?
A85763But if faith be one of her eyes( may some say) which is the other?
A85763But it may be asked, why she speaks of the beams and rafters, and not of the walls of this house?
A85763But seeing it is the church which makes this request, that He would show her where He feeds, what flock does he feed beside His Church?
A85763But seeing, v. 8. he had already praised her from her beauty, why repeats he it here?
A85763But some may say, does not Christ alwais dwell in the hearts of the regenerate, how is it then that he calles and knocks to let him in?
A85763But we must remarke: When are these Jewels and chaines put upon her cheeks and neck?
A85763But why is this redoubled,( thou hast ravisht my heart?)
A85763But why saith Christ, Take us the foxes, and not simply, ● ake the foxes, or particularly take me the foxes, but in common, take us the foxes?
A85763But why speakes he of loves in the plurall number?
A85763But, without naming him, Why saies she, let him kisse me?
A85763Concerning the care that she has of her little sister, saying, what shall we do for her?
A85763Dost thou not care that we perish?)
A85763Doth Christ display his love both to us, and for so many comfortable ends and uses over us?
A85763Ephraim is brought in, saying, What have I to do any more with Idols?
A85763How beautifull are thy feet with shoos O prince''s daughter?
A85763I have put off my coat, how shall I put it on?
A85763I have washed my feet, how shall I desile them?
A85763Is Christ our King?
A85763Is not she His only flock?
A85763Last of all, seeing the Church speaks here, how saies she,( Our house) being her self God''s house?
A85763Last of all, to whom, or to whose taste is this fruit sweet?
A85763O thou fairest amongst women?
A85763She had also washed her feet, and how should she defile them again?
A85763Should not fervour of affection have with it humility of reverence?
A85763Should such a man as I flee?
A85763Tell me( O thou whom my soul loveth,) where thou feedest?
A85763The care that she has of her, saying, What shall we do for our sister in the day that she shal be spoken for?
A85763The third thing is, vvho brought her in, and how is he styled?
A85763The watchmen that go about the city found me, to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
A85763This Spikenard is called hers, 1. by donation, as it is said quid habes, quod non accepisti?
A85763This is her beloved( she sayes) and this is her friend, of whom the daughters of Jerusalem asked, what was he more then another beloved?
A85763We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts, what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
A85763What is thy Beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest amongst women?
A85763What other flock is this then, whose steps she must trace to find Him, and where he feeds?
A85763What will ye see in the Shulamite?
A85763Where thou makest thy Flock to rest at Noone?
A85763Whereas she sayes, What shall we do?
A85763[ For why should I be?]
A85763and who would not open to such?
A85763fair as the Moon, clear as the Sun, and terrible as an army with Banners?
A85763for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy Companions?
A85763or what duties were we able to perform, to his glory or our good, without him?
A85763or what hast thou but that which thou hast received?
A85763shall tribulation, or distresse, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sword?
A85763what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
A85763whither is thy well- beloved turned aside, that we may seek him with thee?
A85763without which, what would become of us?
A9026934. or according to the minde of God?
A90269Ah foolish people and unwise, doe we thus require the Lord?
A90269And is it likely that we can gather any Resolution from them?
A90269Aske now the people of God in this nation, I say or any of them, one, or more, at any time?
A90269Doth God at any time prosper an evill or a wicked Nation?
A90269Doth he breake, ruine and destroy them, as sooner or latter he will leave them, neither roote nor branch?
A90269Even all nations shall say, wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this Land?
A90269Have you an Answer in readinesse?
A90269Is it not cleare, that they are divided among themselves?
A90269Make this worke of God your pole- star, that you may steere and guide your course by it?
A90269May not some enquiry of the like nature be made of the people of God amongst us?
A90269On whom are the eies of this Nation and of those round about?
A90269Shall we therfore chuse us a Captain,& goe down again into Egypt?
A90269Suppose now a man, or men, should come and aske of you, what God hath done in these Nations?
A90269That being attempted in many places,& proveing abortive, is here accomplished?
A90269That is a season wherein great inquiry will be made about those things; what shall one then answer?
A90269The septuagint render these words,{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}; the Kings of the Nations, what shall they say?
A90269What SHALL one: what shall, or what ought?
A90269What answer then should we give to Enquirers?
A90269What is the profession we make?
A90269What is the work that is so fam''d abroad, and spoken of throughout the World?
A90269What is this you wil say?
A90269What shall ONE?
A90269What shall one THEN?
A90269What shall one answer them?
A90269What shall one then answer the Messengers of the Nation?
A90269What shall they doe?
A90269Wherefore doe they enquire of your wellfaire, of your state and condition, of your affaires?
A90269Who( J say) not intangled with one prejudicate ingagement or other, may not se this with halfe an eye?
A90269an Anti- christian Nation?
A90269doth God take care for Oxen?
A90269doth not the greatest danger of our own miscarriage lye in this?
A90269from whom are the Expectations of men?
A90269hath he delight in the prosperity of his Enemies?
A90269have we been imposed on in the ways of God, by men ignorant of them?
A90269how many glorious Appearances have I seen, of which I said under the shadow hereof, shall we live among the heathen?
A90269in this case,{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}; what shall they answer, or say?
A90269is it a power over other mens persons, or our owne lusts?
A90269is it for their owne sakes?
A90269is it not his Glory?
A90269is it that they love you, that they desire your prosperity, that they would have you an established Nation?
A90269should the disposall of things be according to his will, or ours?
A90269to whom should we goe to enquire what God hath done in this Nation, what he is doing, what are the effects of his power, if not of you?
A90269what he hath wrought, and effected?
A90269what is brought forth?
A90269what is it their duty to doe or to say?
A90269who hath the chiefest interest in,& right unto the things contended about?
A90269who hath the most wisedome to order things aright, he or we?
A90269who sees what will be the event of all things, hee or we?
A90269whose End is to be obtain''d in the issue of all?
A2073613, He that lendeth vpon vsurie, or taketh increase, shall he liue saith the Lord?
A2073626, 27, Be not of them which are sureties for debts; if thou hastnothing to pay, why should he( namely thy creditor) take thy bed from vnder thee?
A2073636. should we not sinne to gaine the whole world, and shall we be readie to sinne for euery trifle in the world?
A20736Againe, doth the holy ghost call any blessed, that are not heires of the kingdome of heauen?
A20736All men desire to rest in the holy mountain of God: but how few behaue thēselues as pilgrims in his Tabernacle?
A20736All this I graunt: what then?
A20736And in the place before cited, shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord?
A20736And our Sauiour Christ, What will it profit a man, if he shall gaine the whole world and loose his owne soule?
A20736And to the same purpose, Bildad the Shuhite, Can arush( saith he) grow without mire, or can the grasse grow without water?
A20736And what is this successiue interest I pray you?
A20736And what reason is it that when he which beareth all the charge and hazard, receiueth scarce fiue pounds a yeare, he should allow thee ten?
A20736And whereof is the hinderance which he sustaineth?
A20736And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, and behold a beame is in thine owne eye?
A20736And why?
A20736Are we such pilgrims as indeed desire to be in our countrey?
A20736Are we wayfaring men in this life?
A20736Are wee pilgrims, liuing( as it were) exiled from our celestiall countrey and heauenly father?
A20736As our Sauiour saith, by their fruits you shall know them, do men gather grapes of thornes, or ● igges of thistels?
A20736As the Prophet Ieremie sayth, The heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things: who can know it?
A20736But be it so: How wouldest thou haue imployed it?
A20736But how is that consequence proued?
A20736But how was it permitted towards the stranger?
A20736But if you aske, whither he ought to auoid, who can not shunne both, but may escape the one?
A20736But may a man therefore with a good conscience lend vpon vsurie?
A20736But say they, what if our owne or our brothers life being endangered, might be redeemed by a lie, shall it not be lawfull in that case to lie?
A20736But some man will say, Is it neuer lawfull for a man to heare another report the faults of his neighbour, being absent?
A20736But what followes?
A20736But what if a man be forced to sweare to that which is against his profit?
A20736But what if a man buy a rent for a certaine and difinit time, as for ten or twentie yeares?
A20736But what if the thing which by oath is promised, be either vnlawfull, or not in our power?
A20736But what is hereof to bee inferred?
A20736But what is lo ● t?
A20736But what sayth Salomon?
A20736But whence ariseth this necessitie?
A20736But whereupon shall this found persuasion be grounded?
A20736But whether should I say is greater, your mallice, or your folly?
A20736But why may not money be let as well as other things?
A20736But why should be gaine with my money, and I haue no part therein?
A20736But why will they not follow some other trade of life?
A20736But why wilt not thou imploy thy mony thy selfe in some honest contract?
A20736But will you heare a mysterie practised in buying?
A20736But will you heare a mysterie?
A20736But you will say, May humane lawes permit such things as be euill?
A20736But you will say: what if a man sustaine losse, is not allowance to be made thereof?
A20736But you will say; what if wicked men bee magistrats or gouernours, are we not to honour them?
A20736But you will say?
A20736By negotiation or traffique?
A20736Canst thou not indeed without thine hinderance forbeare thy money?
A20736Doest thou not walke in sinceritie towards God, and simplicitie towards men, but in hypocrisie and dissimulation?
A20736Doost thou walk vprightly without hypocrisie towards God, without guile towards man?
A20736Doth hee beare any hazard?
A20736Fiftly, Should a richer man occupie a poorer mans stocke, and gaining well thereby, make him none allowance?
A20736First, because it is not onely false, but also vaine and idle: and if of idle words an account must be giuen, how much more of lies?
A20736For as our Sauior sayth, What will it profit a man though he should gaine the whole world, if he loose his owne soule?
A20736For he that shall be saued, doth not put forth his money to vsurie: and he that doth, shall he liue saith the Lord?
A20736For if he be a true Christian, in whom there is no guile, what is hee in whom no simplicitie or plaine dealing is to be found?
A20736For if our hearts be on the earth, how is our treasure in heauen?
A20736For if vsurie of ten in the hundred be lawfull for ten years together, why not for the eleuenth and twelfth,& c. the principall being still forborne?
A20736For if you would haue it concealed indeed, why doe you not trust your owne tongue rather than another mans?
A20736For indeed, what is gained in that which is gotten by sinne?
A20736For indeed, what is 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, that is, couetousnesse, but an vnlawfull desire of hauing more?
A20736For neither must we stand still in this way, neither must we go backe: for if we do so, how shall we come to our iourney''s end?
A20736For what reason is there that another man should gaine by my money, and not make me partaker of his gaine?
A20736For what were this but wilfully to prouoke the Lord, and as it were to dare him to execute his fierce indignation vpon him?
A20736For what would it auaile vs, if with Simon Magus wee bee baptized, and beleeue with a generall faith?
A20736For when D ● uid had demanded, Who shall soiourne in tby Tabernacle, and who shall rest in thy holy hill?
A20736For wherefore hath the Lord elected vs?
A20736For who would not rather borrow things to vse freely, than to take them vpon hire?
A20736For you know who hath said, He that putteth forth to vsurie, or taketh increase, shall he liue?
A20736Forsooth, saith one, this gaine I require for the forbearance of my money?
A20736Hath the partie no great need to borrow?
A20736Hell and destruction are before the Lord, how much more the hearts of the sonnes of men?
A20736Hell and destruction are before the Lord, how much more the hearts of the sonnes of men?
A20736How farre forth is this restitution to be made, that is, of what vsurie, and of how much?
A20736How so?
A20736How then can lending vpon vsurie, though but for once or twice, be lawfull?
A20736If for some great offence, say, What will it profit me to heare that another man is wicked?
A20736If further it be demaunded, What if that which a man promiseth by oath, can not be performed without his losse or hinderance?
A20736If it be euill to be euill, why wilt thou be that which thou wilt not seeme to be?
A20736If therefore none shall dwell in the holy mountaine of God, but such as are speakers of the truth, who then shall be saued?
A20736Is he a prodigall gentleman, or riotous person?
A20736Is he at any cost for the getting of this gaine?
A20736Is it because thou wilt take no paines, nor beare any aduenture, but wilt be sure to prouide for great and certaine gaine with ease?
A20736Is the partie an honest man, and hath need to borrow?
A20736Lastly consider, that of idle words an account is to be made, how much more of malicious and slaunderous words?
A20736Lord, who shall soiourne in thy Tabernacle, who shall dwell in the mountaine of thy holinesse?
A20736May not the merchant lawfully for his wares bought in another countrey for one hundred pounds, require one hundred and ten here?
A20736Might I not as well lend my money for gaine?
A20736Must those that are perfect be of this mind?
A20736No, but he hath elected vs that we should be holy and without blame before him in loue?
A20736Now, if princes, to whom being oppressed with great cares, mirth is most needfull, may not be made merry with lies, who then may?
A20736Or is it credible that those who are carelesse of their owne saluation should be carefull for others, to winne them to Christ?
A20736Or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
A20736Quid faenerari?
A20736Quid foenus& Calendarium& vsura, sayth Seneca, nisi humanae cupiditatis extra naturam quaesita nomina?
A20736Secondly, Is it reason that a rich man should withhold any mans money against his will, and make his priuat gaine thereof?
A20736The Lord is neere to them that call vpon him: What to all?
A20736The former part: Lord who shall soiourne in thy Tabernacle?
A20736Thou wilt not lend to the needie, because thou doubtest that what is lent to them will neuer be repaid: But what saith the spirit of God?
A20736To whom?
A20736What is foenus and the Kalender( for so the vsurers debt- booke was called) and vsurie, but names of mens couetousnesse sought out besides nature?
A20736What reason is there that he should receiue a rent for the land bought with my money, and I in the meane time haue none allowance for my money?
A20736What then is the reason of your demanded gaine?
A20736What then will you say, is the truth alwayes to be professed?
A20736What then will you say, ought one rather to cōmit whordome than to make a lye?
A20736What then( will you say) is euerie one bound to lend to euerie one that asketh?
A20736What then, will you say, are the offences of our neighbour so to be buried, as that it is not lawfull for a man to mention them?
A20736When?
A20736Wherefore Pythagoras being demaunded, What that was, in doing whereof, men might especially be like vnto God?
A20736Wherefore doth he regenerate vs by his spirit, and as it were create vs anew?
A20736Wherefore hath he freed vs from the seruitude of sinne?
A20736Why did he beare our sinnes in his body vpon the crosse?
A20736Why doth hee bestow his temporall benefits vpon vs?
A20736Why hath Christ redeemed vs from the hand of our spirituall enemies?
A20736Why then( say I) will you not aduenture with him?
A20736Why therefore doest thou goe to the vsurer, seeing thou hast in thine owne store a remedie against thy necessitie?
A20736Will you heare?
A20736Will you offend in lying against your owne soule, or in treachery against the innocent?
A20736Would it therefore from hence follow, that all buying and selling, all lending and borrowing vpon securitie is vnlawfull?
A20736Would you borrow of them?
A20736Wouldest thou then haue imployed it thy selfe?
A20736Wouldest thou then thriue by vsurie?
A20736Yea but what reason is there that I should susteine hinderance without recompence?
A20736and if so oft, why not for fiue or six times?

A26725such by- paths have they trod, To eat my people up like bread?
A26725thy bowels mov''d and pain''d, And of thy mercies towards me, are they, O Lord, restrain''d?

A26725verse 2 For of my strength thou art the God, why dost thou leave me so?
A26725verse 2 For thou art my support, my God, my strength and stay: Why seem''st thou ● n such sort to cast me clean away?

A26725verse 3 My soul is sorely vex''d; how long stay wilt thou make?
A26725verse 3 O Lord if thou shouldst strictly weigh the sins that we have done ● Who should escape, or who could say that he could answer one?
A26725verse 3 What shalt thou have, O slandrous tongue, and what shall be thy hire?
A26725verse 4 Are wicked doers so quite misled?

A02170& yet how foule is it grown now?
A02170; and hee prayes to be washed from the staine, and cleansed from the guilt?
A02170A foundation is to build upon; and to what purpose, if it be n ● t built upon?
A02170A right Spirit; a holy Spirit, a free and principall Spirit?
A02170Am I likely to be a meanes for converting of sinners; who have hitherto beene occasion of perverting the godly?
A02170An eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth; and yet a man may live; but blood for blood, and who can live, unlesse he be a God?
A02170And am I a fit Champion to encounter Monsters?
A02170And how much easier came David to be able to say, I know my sinne?
A02170And how then can sin be committed against any, but against him only, whose Law we transgresse?
A02170And it seemes, as though we were put to our choyce here; whether wee will have sinnes company, or Gods?
A02170And now let flesh and blood tell me, if this be a lesson to be learned without a teacher?
A02170And now, seeing my sins are in number so many, and so great in measure; have I not reason to aske for mercies, of equall proportion?
A02170And now, tha ● wee have bloods enough, to serve for deliverance; how shall wee be able to apply them?
A02170And now, that I have prayed, and offered sacrifice for my selfe; shall I forget my Mother Sion?
A02170And now, that I have the multitude of Gods tender mercies at the heighth; what would I have it to doe?
A02170And what arme of defence, hath Hierusalem to trust to, against the Host of her enemies; but thine onely, O Lord, who art the Lord of Hosts?
A02170And what can be more said for justifying of a sinne; then to say it was done for justifying of God?
A02170And what company then could I hope to have?
A02170And why should I feare, lest hee should take his holy Spirit from mee?
A02170And will I lose my part in God, for want of washing?
A02170And wilt thou shed thy blood for me; and not deliver me from b ● d?
A02170And would any man foule his fingers, to touch so foule a thing as my sin; if hee did not love exceedingly?
A02170And yet stay; why should I put God to this trouble of washing me at all?
A02170Are they not all one holy Ghost; but divers operations?
A02170But am I a fit man, to teach thy waies to the wicked; who have walked, all my life long, in the waies of wickednesse?
A02170But am I well advised, in praying God, to turne away his face from my sinnes?
A02170But are not my sins themselves blots?
A02170But can it properly be said, that God did ever create in me, a cleane heart before?
A02170But can wee thinke God to be so indifferent; that he will accept of a broken heart?
A02170But did not the washing I had before, make me cleane; and what neede then, of any more cleansing?
A02170But doe I well, to prescribe to God, with what hee shall purge mee; as though I knew, all Gods Medicines as well as himselfe?
A02170But had David ever any returne of this Petition?
A02170But hath God then, a multitude of Mercies, whereof some be greater, and some be lesser?
A02170But hath not David a defence for it here; and that a very just one?
A02170But how can David say, I know my sins; and yet in another place, said, Forgive me my secret sinnes?
A02170But how can God cast mee off from his presence, though hee would: Is not God, every where?
A02170But how can God restore that, which hee tooke not away?
A02170But how can wee answer this to God?
A02170But how is this possible?
A02170But how loud will the singing be, when not onely Repentance sings; but Joy also, which is a loud singer, shall joyne in consort, and sing with her?
A02170But how should David come to be so foule?
A02170But i ● there not matter here to make us at a stand?
A02170But if God turne away his face from my sins; how shall he seee, to blot them out?
A02170But if Repentance be so hard a lesson to learne; how can David be so confident of his teaching, to say, that sinners shall be converted by it?
A02170But is David then the only Phoenix in this kinde?
A02170But is it not that Gods threatning, is ever with condition?
A02170But is it not, that thy Wisedome, O God, is so transcendent, that thou canst easily abstract the sinner from the sinne?
A02170But is it not, that wee are all in this, the children of Adam?
A02170But is my sinne so pleasing a prospect; that I should need to feare, lest God should stand looking upon it?
A02170But is not this an indignity, to the great Majestie of God?
A02170But is not this to make God a cruell God; to make him delight, in broken hearts; as though hee tooke no joy, but in our sorrowing?
A02170But is not this, a Disorder in praying; to pray for that, for which we should rather give thankes?
A02170But is there any hope, that this sin of blood, may ever be remitted?
A02170But may we not wonder at David; how hee dares speake thus to God: Deliver mee from blood; and my tongue shall sing of thy Righteousnesse?
A02170But say it be possible; yet what need is there of so great a whitenesse, as to be whiter than snow?
A02170But say, O my soule; how came thy bones to be broken?
A02170But shall I put God to so meane a worke; to be a builder of walls?
A02170But what Righteousnesse is in this; to suffer a righteous person to be murthered; and then to set the murtherer free?
A02170But what am I the better, that thou turne away thy face from my sin; if my sin continue, and remaine upon me still?
A02170But what blood did hee shed unlawfully?
A02170But what is this to us, that, his bones be not broken, if ours be?
A02170But what more good will a right spirit doe, when it is renued; than it did before, when it was first given?
A02170But what mysterie is it, that David intends here, by his triplicity of Spirits?
A02170But what neede David pray God, to deliver him from blood- guiltinesse?
A02170But what safety is it to me, that God turne away his face; if his eares stand open?
A02170But what though God doe wash us?
A02170But why am I partiall towards my Parents; and charge my poore Mother with conceiving mee in sinne; but let my Father passe without blame?
A02170But why am I so ● arenest for restoring?
A02170But why is David so preposterous in making his sute?
A02170But why is it said; Make mee to heare of joy and gladnesse; and not said rather; Make mee to feele joy and gladnesse?
A02170But why should David make it so great a matter, to say, I know my sinne; as though a man could commit a sinne, and not know it?
A02170But why should David pray to be delivered from bloods; as the words indeede are?
A02170But why should David speake so superfluously?
A02170But why should I feare, least God should cast me off from his presence?
A02170But why then with Hysop; and not with Ellebor, or Scammony tather?
A02170But yet, what good will the knowing, or the acknowledging my sinne doe me; if I let it slip from my heart, as soone as it is off my tongue?
A02170But, did not God, create in me a cleane heart once already?
A02170Can I be safe, if Hierusalem be in danger?
A02170Can I prosper, if my Sion suffer?
A02170Can cleansing mee, be without doing a Miracle?
A02170Can my daily Infirmities alien thy Love?
A02170Can there be a Patron so powerfull as Thou?
A02170Can there be a Supplyant, so dejected as my selfe?
A02170Can thy Love aliened, turne away thy Mercy?
A02170Can we drinke in a broken Glasse?
A02170David was happy, that had a Nathan by whom to heare it: but by whom may wee have hope to heare it?
A02170Did God ever heare it, or grant it?
A02170Did not sinne, at least the Authour of sin, heare thy voyce, when thou saidst, Encrease and multiply?
A02170Dost Thou Draw mee, and shall I draw backe?
A02170Dost Thou Invite mee, and shall I not Come?
A02170Doth any thing grow so fast as a weede?
A02170For a man condemned for blood, to be delivered from blood?
A02170For is it not Gods great mercy to us all, that wee be not all consumed?
A02170For it is not the bold Nature of sinne, to be alwaies pressing into thy sight; and as it were, forcing thee to see it, whether thou wilt or no?
A02170For what blood had hee shed?
A02170For what is it, to build the walls of Hierusalem; but to defend Hierusalem from her enemies?
A02170For why shouldst thou aske, where I am; but that thou canst not see, where I am?
A02170For, am I not so wholly over- spread with sinne; that if he turne away his face from my sinne; he must needes turne it away from me too?
A02170For, can I charge God, with the taking away the joy of his salvation from mee?
A02170For, can washing be without touching?
A02170For, doe wee thinke hee could say it, as soone as hee had committed it?
A02170For, from others I could hide it, and did conceale it; But what can be hidden from thy All- seeing Eye?
A02170For, if hee know them; how be they secret?
A02170For, is it not subject to all sudden surprises?
A02170For, is not Sion, the common Mother of us all?
A02170For, say It was Pride?
A02170For, was it not so in Ninive?
A02170For, were it not better to feele joy; than onely to heare of joy?
A02170For, what is Sion, but a Sanctuary for sacrifices?
A02170For, what is sinne, but a transgression of Gods Law?
A02170For, where can I finde out any, that will shed his blood for me?
A02170God forbid, thou shouldst ever say to me, as thou didst once to our first Parent; Adam, Where art thou?
A02170Hast thou Mercy, and wilt thou not shew it?
A02170Hast thou shewed Mercy to so many, that thou hast not Mercy left for me also?
A02170How should I not be able, when Thou Drawest mee to it?
A02170How should I not be able, when weaknesse gives mee strength?
A02170If having once acknowledged it, I cast it behinde mee, and thinke no more of it?
A02170If it prospered not at the first planting; what assurance of prospering at the second?
A02170If thou take thy holy Spirit from me; what spirit will be left mee, but a spirit of errour?
A02170If thou, O God, shouldst cast me off from thy presence; whom could I hope, to have present with mee?
A02170If thy Mercy be Infinite, it must extend to all; and how extends it to all, if not to me?
A02170Indeed, when Kings become Schoolemasters, no marvell, if sinners become converts: For, who knowes not the force of Regis ad exemplum?
A02170Is a thing that is broken, good for any thing?
A02170Is it not, that they are all recollected; and put into ● hat cup, of which hee said; Drinke yee all of this?
A02170Is not his Mercv, as himselfe is, onely One and simplicissimus?
A02170Is not his delight amongst the children of men?
A02170Is not thy Mercy over all thy Works; and am not I the worke of thy Hands?
A02170Is the breaking of bones, the gentle purging that was talk''d of?
A02170It may be thought severity in God, to cast Adam out of Paradise, for only One sin: But was Adams sin, but onely One?
A02170Lies it not open to all Hostile invasions?
A02170No pleasure, but in our tormenting?
A02170O Lord, What couldst thou ever looke for at my hands, but onely sinne?
A02170O Lord, what am I, but as a filthy ragge before thee?
A02170O glorious God; what fitter worke for thy Allmighty Power?
A02170O great God, into how many severall formes of ossi ● tance, doe wee miserable sinners, diversifie thy glorious Majesty?
A02170Of whom then, is it fitter, to aske for Mercy; than of Thee, O God, who art the God of Mercy?
A02170Or is it indeed, that he useth divers words, to shew that he askes forgivenesse for all his sinnes, by what name or title soever they be called?
A02170Or is it lastly, that I justly say, Against thee onely have I sinned; because in thy sight onely I have done it?
A02170Or is it, that hee makes three sutes for three spirits; as intending to every person, in the Deity, one?
A02170Or is it, that in sinne there is both a staine, and a gu lt?
A02170Or is it, that the severall respects of relation in Vriah; made his blood, as so many severall bloods, in Gods account?
A02170Or is it, that wee may justly say?
A02170Or is it, the Bonus genius of Repentance; that is never without care; and therefore searcheth all corners?
A02170Or wilt thou shew it to others, and not to me?
A02170Or, can we leane upon a broken staffe?
A02170Say it was Curiositie; hath not Curiosity, more Eyes than Argus had?
A02170Say it was Disobedience?
A02170Say it was Gluttony?
A02170Shall I forget the glorious City Hierusalem; whereof I am a member; and a Ci ● izen?
A02170That thou canst not lay so heavie a doome upon mee, which I have not deserved?
A02170The more Mercy thou shewest, the more is thine Honour; and wilt thou not doe that which is most for thine Honour?
A02170Thou hast indeed, laid a sure foundation in Hierusalem; but what is a foundation, if there be no walls reared?
A02170Thy Mercy is Infinite, or none at all; for all thou art is Infinite; and wilt thou by shewing thy Mercy, lesse; shew thy selfe to be Mercilesse?
A02170Thy holy Spirit is the Comforter; and wilt thou leave mee Disconsolate, in my manifold miseries?
A02170Thy holy Spirit is the Directour; and wilt thou leave mee, without a Guide, in the most dangerous passages of this wicked world?
A02170Thy holy Spirit, is the sanctifier; and wilt thou leave me to impiety and prophanenesse?
A02170Thy praise; but for what?
A02170To pray God, to wash away his sinnes; before he make his confession, and tell what his sinnes be?
A02170Vp on mee?
A02170Vpon my repentance?
A02170Vse two words, when one would serve?
A02170Was it not so to Hezekiah?
A02170Wee say, there are no miracles now adaies in the world; and can there be a greater wonder than this; that a man should know sinne, and yet commit it?
A02170What could Ellebore or Scammony have done more?
A02170What good, to have a right spirit renued; and thy holy Spiri ● to be taken away?
A02170What goodnesse ever was there in mee, that thou shouldst love mee?
A02170When Naaman was cured of his leprosie, by washing in Iordan; did God then wash him; or did Naaman wash himselfe?
A02170When wee should rather give thankes for them, which wee have so continually?
A02170Who am I, but the man by the high way side, lying bound and wounded?
A02170Why should I not Dare, when Thou Invitest me to it?
A02170Wilt thou pay a Ransome for me; and let me be a Captive still?
A02170Wilt thou pay so dearely for a thing, and not take it, when thou hast done?
A02170Yet my sinnes make mee, that I can not but feare; for why should hee not cast me out of his sight; who hath wrought so much wickednesse in his sight?
A02170a spirit of despaire?
A02170a spirit of uncleannesse?
A02170a ● d who is able to build upon it; but thou, O God, the great Builder of the World, who with thy onely Word, didst buil ● the W ●?
A02170and am not I somewhere?
A02170and am not I, one of that Generation?
A02170and canst thou for pitty, leave me a prey, to such outragious spirits?
A02170and for whom, Is it fitter, to aske for Mercy, than for mee, who am a creature of Misery?
A02170and how can blots be blotted out?
A02170and how can it be, thou shouldst not see, where I am, but that thou canst not see mee, for sinne?
A02170and how can it tarry with mee, if I tarry not with him?
A02170and how can wee offer thee, the sacrifice, of thankesgiving for our fafety; if wee can not offer our sacrifices in safety?
A02170and how shall I more keepe it, being restored; than I kept it before, being enjoyed?
A02170and if I could finde one willing; where can I find one able?
A02170and if I so enjoy it, as still feare to lose it; what joy can there be in such enjoying?
A02170and if ever Joy sung, it will sing now: For what geater joy; than for a bond- man to be set at liberty?
A02170and if they be secret, how doth he know them?
A02170and is he one, that will give a thing, and then take it away againe?
A02170and is there any so very a weede as finne?
A02170and must I not then, be needs where he is, and in his presence?
A02170and not be cleansed from that for which hee is washed?
A02170and so, just cause of praying to be delivered from bloods?
A02170and so, wee should lose the end of Sion, in the midst of Sion?
A02170and then, in what horrour of darknesse should I be left?
A02170and what error can there be, in thy being severe, when the greatnesse of my fault is a Iustification of severity?
A02170and what hope is there, if he create in me, a new cleane heart; but that it will grow as foule, as this I now have?
A02170and what safety; if there be no walls to defend us?
A02170and what should his song be of?
A02170and which is worse; I to prescribe, and he to minister?
A02170are wee sure his washing will alwaies cleanse us?
A02170as if thou should''st supply mee with props, and take away foundations?
A02170as now I am?
A02170as though Adam could eate of the forbidden fruit, and not know hee had eaten it?
A02170as though he thought, he might commit a wilfull murther; and then have his pardon of God, for a song?
A02170but is it not, that a right spirit, in a created heart, may stand firme; though in a made heart, it gave ground and failed?
A02170but what foulenesse could hee take from her, who came but then, newly out of her Bathe?
A02170for seeing it can not more truely be said, that I have sinne, than that I am sinne; what is it now to cleanse mee, but even laterem lavare?
A02170for what good will restoring doe mee, if I can not keepe it, when I have it?
A02170for, if wee be cleansed, what matter is it, whether it be by washing or no?
A02170for, what doe my grievous sinnes but grieve it?
A02170hath it not beene growing ever since I was borne; and can so fast growing, in so long growing, make lesse than a Monster?
A02170hath not Disobedience, more faults than Absolon had?
A02170hath not Gluttony more dishes than Dives had?
A02170hath not Pride more branches than a Tree hath?
A02170hath this beene the worke of Gods Hysop?
A02170if this be the condition, What am I the neere?
A02170should know the foulenesse of sinne; and yet lie wallowing in it?
A02170should know the horrour of sinne; and yet runne head- long into it?
A02170therefore sinned, that God might be justified?
A02170to pray for a multitude of great mercies, as though we had them not already?
A02170was it by conversing with Bathsheba?
A02170was it not hee, that gave it mee at first?
A02170we put our meanest servants to wash our clothes, and will we put God to so meane an office, to be a Launderer of sinnes?
A02170what floatings betweene feare and hope?
A02170what goodnesse is there?
A02170what hope is there left mee, of ever comming into thy presence againe?
A02170what qualmes have these beene?
A02170what sinne can be thought off; so unpardonable?
A02170which was never counted lesse, than either a labour lost, or a miracle wrought: and can any doe mira ● les, but hee, whose power is unlimited?
A02170why should he let his holy Spirit stay there, where it is so much grieved?
A02170● h is a Vineyard, if it have no hedges to fence it?
A6498710. Who shall lay any thing to your charge, when God hath justified you?
A6498714. Who among us shall dwell with devouring Fire?
A6498722. and how feircely then will it burn?
A649874. Who would set the Briers and Thorns against me in Battel?
A649876. Who can stand before his indignation?
A64987ANd now Sinners what will you do?
A64987And alas ● … what will you( that are Ungodly) do in a time of general calamity?
A64987And by consequence every moment, while such, in danger of being drag''d sorth to execution?
A64987And if the skirts of England were turned up, what filthiness would there appear under them?
A64987And to whom can this be applyed?
A64987As if they should have said: Pray who are you that take upon you to speak thus unto us?
A64987B ● … sides how can we conceive that any Subterranean fire should have power to reach and dissolve the Heavens?
A64987Do you know whom you serve?
A64987Hath Sodom and Gomorrah provoked God to destroy them with Fire from Heaven?
A64987Have you been under convictions of Sin?
A64987How happy are those who have made their Peace with God, when some men will not be at peace with them?
A64987How long will Eternity last?
A64987How long will ye slumber in such imminent danger, ye Graceless and Christless persons?
A64987How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A64987I beseech you all with the greatest seriousness to examine your selves, whether you be in a state of Nature, or in a state of Grace?
A64987I beseech you examine which of the two ways you are walking in; is it the broad way of Sin and wickedness?
A64987If a short time of misery here on Earth seem long, what will an eternity of misery seem to be in Hell?
A64987Is it desirable to dwell with devouring Fire?
A64987Is not destruction to the wicked, and a strange punishment unto the workers of Iniquity?
A64987Let me therefore exhort you without any delay to come out of the broad way of Sin, It is the way of Hell, and will you proceed any further in it?
A64987Look doest thou not see a horrible deep and large pit filled with horribly burning Fire, and that Fire filled with damned Men and Women?
A64987Need you value then the wrath of men, when you are delivered from the wrath of God?
A64987O what an evil thing and a bitter is it to Sin against God, and hereby to provoke him unto anger?
A64987O whether can we flee to hide us from the wrath of God, and shelter us from his fiery indignation?

A863562 Where must wee inquire, or from whom?
A8635627. being in the dark, stumbling at you know not what?
A863563 To what purpose must we inquire?
A863565. where doth Christ speake to us but in his word, and by his spirit?
A86356Amongst all by- wayes, how shall we discerne which is the good way?
A86356Aske then, First, what is the good old way of Doctrine, what is the old patterne of wholsome words?
A86356But how farre may we in enquiring after the good way consult with antiquity, and observe the old paths wherein the Ancient Fathers have troden?
A86356But the Question is now, how this should bee brought about?
A86356Consider that of Wisdome, and tremble; what if calamity come on you?
A86356Doe you find this held forth in Scripture, that your conscience is an adequate and sufficient Rule for your actions?
A86356Doth the Lord call upon you to bee carefully inquisitive in the concernments of your soules?
A86356First, who must inquire?
A86356God will laugh when your calamity commeth, and mocke when your destruction, and desolation, and feare shall seise on you; Why?
A86356Have any of the Rulers, or of the Ph ● ● ● sees beleeved on him?
A86356Here you may desire resolution in three particulars: 1 Who must inquire?
A86356How carefull was Ezra to seeke of God a right way, when he was going from Babylon to Jerusalem?
A86356How otherwise should Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, have knowne how to carry themselves, when the King commanded them to bow to his golden Image?
A86356How shall I pardon for this?
A86356If you were to deale with a Papist, and should aske him, Why doe you pray to Images?
A86356If you were to let out a little money to use, you will bee sure to have a Bond made by good advice, you will have witnesses; why?
A86356Indeed if you were to ask the Papist, who it is that must consider and try and examine things?
A86356Is Christ divided?
A86356Is it there prescribed or no?
A86356Is there but one good way to soul- refreshing rest, must all travellers towards Sion come into the very same way?
A86356It is vaine to serve God; and what profit have wee that wee have kept his Ordin ● n ● ● s?
A86356It were easie to shew the naevi, the blemishes of others, but why should wee uncover our Fathers nakednesse?
A86356Love the brotherhood, the corporation, the societie of Saints; And what?
A86356Many please themselves, if they walke in such wayes as lead to their own profit, and to their owne worldly pleasures, O but what will bee the issue?
A86356May any compulsion bee used by Magistrates, to draw people into the one good way?
A86356Secondly, Where should wee inquire, from whom?
A86356Such Divinity will helpe to patronize and protect Papists, Jewes, Turkes, and whom not?
A86356The Lord said, Who shall perswade Ahab, that hee may goe up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?
A86356The Lord saith unto him, Wherewith?
A86356The heart is deceitfull above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it?
A86356Thirdly, To what purpose must wee inquire?
A86356Though unity joyned with purity bee very desirable, yet what if there should bee a toleration of divers ways in a Church, in a Kingdom?
A86356To what purpose commeth there to mee Incense from Sheba, and the sweet Cane from a farre Countrey?
A86356What if God should cause his fury to rest upon us?
A86356What then shall wee doe with all those in England, who are ingaged in different waies, both in regard of their opinions and practises?
A86356What ● is this true doctrine, that the good old way, is that which leads to the rest of my Soule?
A86356Who giveth rest from these terrours of conscience?
A86356Who would have expected such an answer as this, to have been the ec ● ho to such soule- refreshing counsell?
A86356Whom shall wee rather beleeve concerning God, than God himselfe?
A86356how uncomely then are such divisions amongst you?
A86356must you have no love to them that are not yet Saints?
A86356or were yee baptized in the name of Paul?
A86356pray for them; what if they can not afford you a good word?
A86356sometimes they are so miserably puzzled, they dare not pray, they dare not come to the Lords Table: Where shall they now find Rest?
A86356was Paul crucified for you?
A86356were this a satisfying answer, I am perswaded in my conscience it is lawfull to goe to Masse, and therefore I may doe it?
A86356who shall helpe you?
A86356why doe you goe to Masse?
A86356why not?
A77856A Covenant with God?
A77856After all this, he and all the people 〈 … 〉 a solemne Covenant, and that at the time of a publique Fast?
A77856And can men that are born, and living, live safely, or at all, without continuall supply of food convenient for them?
A77856And have not we seen this verified also neerer home?
A77856And how goe they?
A77856And how so?
A77856And in trueth, when will we thus joyne our selves to the Lord, if not at a Fast?
A77856And shall he begin, and we think much to follow?
A77856And this was part of Gods Answer to the Jewes enquiring of the Prophet whether they should continue their solemne Fasts?
A77856And what is the substance of their Covenant?
A77856And why all this?
A77856And why so?
A77856And, how have men rejoyced at their falls?
A77856And, how so?
A77856And, is it better now?
A77856And, what is the businesse; the end of all this hast?
A77856And, what of her?
A77856And, what then?
A77856But what should be the meanes of such an unexpected destruction?
A77856But, that is the Covenant on Gods part, you will say?
A77856Did they not know him before?
A77856Did they omit prayer, and fasting, and seeking early after God?
A77856Ephraim also shall say, What have I to do any more with Idols?
A77856Hast thou been a swearer, and so thou wilt be?
A77856Hath not God himselfe said plainly, a Where there is no vision the people perish?
A77856Hath this use ever been so much as thought of by us?
A77856Have not some, in former times, been taken away, who have been great Oppressors, and Instruments of many sore pressures?
A77856Have we not had more Fasts at Parliaments of late, than in many yeares before?
A77856Have we not prayed?
A77856He that enters into Covenant with God, is betroathed, yea even married to him: And how married?
A77856How could they hope to be delivered, when she that commanded the world detained them?
A77856I have entred into Covenant with God, as a wife with her husband; will that I am now doing, or going about, stand with my Covenant?
A77856If any think, what adoe is here?
A77856Is Ephraim my deare sonne?
A77856Is he Good in deliverances?
A77856Is it meant of every unrighteousnesse( that is in the nature of it damnable) which is to be found in the world?
A77856Is it not his own complaint, b My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge?
A77856Is this to performe Covenant with God?
A77856No?
A77856Oh what prayers, what fasting, what humiliation should we have seene ▪ But, when the snare was once broken, what followed?
A77856Say then, what wilt thou now do?
A77856Shall he be fast bound to them, and they left free to sit loose from him?
A77856Shall the prey be taken from the Mightie, or the lawfull captive delivered?
A77856They turne Covenanters?
A77856Vnto the wicked saith God, what hast thou to do to take my Covenant into thy mouth, seeing thou castest my words behind thee?
A77856What is a chiefe cause of all this?
A77856What unrighteousnesse?
A77856What use have we made of them?
A77856What was it for which Iudah, and Israel became Captives,, but the breach of the Covenant?
A77856What was the issue?
A77856What?
A77856Where is the Covenant( such a Covenant) with God, that so wonderfull a deliverance deserveth, and requireth?
A77856Where should you begin then, but where God ever begins?
A77856Whether is our Condition any what better now than heretofore, when those Leviathans were alive, and in their height?
A77856Who knowes not, that in the Masse is committed the most abominable Idolatry that ever the Sunne beheld in the Christian world?
A77856Whose heart bleeds not over this prodigious growth of Popery and over flowing of Popish Masses?
A77856Why then is Deliverance, and Reformation so slow in comming?
A77856Why, what if I doe not?
A77856Will you therefore see the thing acted, and all these promises fulfilled?
A77856Would you have this to be done, namely, that all should appeare before God in Zion, for this purpose?
A77856a drunkard, an uncleane person, an oppressour, a prophane Esau, and wilt be so still?
A77856c How shall they heare without a Preacher?
A77856have we not fasted?
A77856have we tasted of his love already?
A77856is he a pleasant child?
A77856is it agreeable to Justice and equitie?
A77856what meanes this man to be so earnest?
A77856what will all this doe without a Covenant, without taking hold of God, and joyning themselves to him to be his for ever?
A77856will it be profitable for the State?
A77856will it please God?
A77856wilt thou still keep thy darling lust?
A77856would he have us all turne Covenanters?

A881494. and the like: Who can do them, but he that conferres and is in acquaintance with his ownheart?
A88149Ah sad Climax, deceitfull, and deceitfull above all things, wicked, and desperately wicked, and so bad of both, that who can know it?
A88149Am not I the King?
A88149And is not the same case yours too?
A88149And must not this want of intelligence needs spoyle the offices that a man oweth to it?
A88149But the first question that I would desire every one that heareth me this day, to propose to his owne heart is but this; Heart how dost thou?
A88149But what hath beene done?
A88149Give them, O Lord, what wilt thou give?
A88149Have you not been strangers?
A88149How could wee answer, or hold up our faces before the Lord: But how must Iniquity lay her hand upon her mouth, and not bee able to speak a word?
A88149How is it possible we should rightly do these things, if we have not acquaintance with our owne heart?
A88149I would you would as constantly practise it with your own hearts, Heart how dost thou doe?
A88149Is not the distribution of our time and converse much after the same proportion?
A88149Is there yet any of the kindred of Jonathan, that hath shewed us kindnesse, that we may shew them the kindnesse of the Lord againe?
A88149Might I not say, as the Jewes once to Christ, You deserve to doe for her?
A88149Must not these be answers of him that holds not intelligence with his owne heart?
A88149Or where there should have been fifty vessells full of this duty, can you find twenty?
A88149Secondly, propose this question to every one of your hearts; heart what wilt thou do?
A88149Should Christ spread our Covenant before us, upon the same accusing termes as hee spread his before Christ, what could wee answer?
A88149The heart is deceitfull above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it?
A88149Thinkest thou, thou canst receive the Sacrament aright without the exercise of this duty?
A88149This wakes the King, and makes him to start up: Appeale?
A88149Was it ever seen, or could it ever be related, that any City under heaven ever did, as London hath done in love and kindnesse to your Cause and you?
A88149Was there ever more palpable walking contrarie to God, or more desperate crossing of a Covenant?
A88149What one among you can looke into his owne heart, but he must needs find London written there?
A88149When Reformation was first spoken of, wee had Order and Ordinances, but now how is the one lost and the other slighted?
A88149Who is sufficient for any of these things?
A88149You know this is the first question, and the first- salute that we use one to another, Sir how do you?
A88149and yet how common is this amongst men?
A88149have you not been unacquainted?
A88149have you not forgotten them?
A88149how are these reall sons of Zion now brought low, despised, oppressed, and trod under foot in many places of the Land?

A88149how is it with thee for thy spirituall estate?
A88149how much of your time have you spent in communication with them?
A88149or goe to the heap of your whole life, and where there should have been twenty measures imployed about this businesse, can you finde ten?
A88149or, Heart what dost think wil become of thee and me?

A88149wash my heart?
A88149what difference is there betwixt serving a strange God, and serving the true God with a strange heart?

A26847( Saith God) Who is this, that darkneth wisdom, with words without knowledge?
A26847( i e.) what this Affliction meaneth?
A268471. he puts the question, Why doth the way of the Wicked prosper?
A2684710. who would undertake to make a Judgment of Times, and did ask, Why were the former times better than these?
A2684719. Who will appoint me the time?
A268472. Who knoweth, or can say, That is good for a man in this life, that never made a man Good?
A2684720) Why is life given to the Afflicted, and light to the bitter in Soul?
A2684720. that he vowed a vow; And see what he desireth of God?
A268473. Who knoweth, or can say, That those things are good for a man in this life, that have made many men worse, through their Abuse of them?
A268474. Who knoweth, or can say, That those things are good for a man in this life, that are things so uncertain?
A268478. Who can say, That is good for a man in this life, that makes the entrance into Eternal Life so difficult?
A26847A God that may give, and take away; and who can say to Him, What doest Thou?
A26847A Rebellious Heart into Obedience?
A26847An Honourable, Rich,& Prosperous Condition is changeable: and then, what is man the better for being in such a condition?
A26847An hard Heart into Softness?
A26847And considering this, Who can say, This or that condition is good or evil for a man, when he knoweth not how that condition may change?
A26847And do you think to enter Heaven, with two Steeples on your back?
A26847And if any ask, For what reason God hath hid this knowledg from man?
A26847And if he grieve, What reason have I for it?
A26847And likewise, What is it that makes an Afflicted condition Evil to some?
A26847And now, What doth the Lord thy God require of thee?
A26847And see for what end?
A26847And there is nothing befalleth us in an Afflicted Condition, but what is by Divine Ordination; and why should we then fret at it?
A26847And to see, What Crop is brought forth, and groweth in those furrows of Affliction?
A26847And what got she by it?
A26847And what is the reason that man knows not what shall be?
A26847And what knowest thou, O poor man, but thy poverty may be for thy good; and why then shouldst thou envy the Rich?
A26847And what will correct the bitter ingredients of an Afflicted Condition, that they be not too much dejected and cast down?
A26847And, if I am Rich, must I not say, It is by the blessing of the Lord?
A26847And, who can say, Prosperity is good for him, when he seeth Adversity over against him?
A26847Are you in a prosperous condition, and would you make a judgment of it, whether it be good for you?
A26847As Elkanah told Hannah, Am not I better to thee then ten Sons?
A26847As that Wicked King of Israel said, This Evil is of the Lord, why should I wait any longer?
A26847As when a loss or cross befalleth us, Whether we may lawfully wish, it had not been so?
A26847Behold the word of the Lord came to him, And he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
A26847But how may a man know, that he is not the chooser of his own condition?
A26847But some may Ask, How may I know, in praying for the things of this Life, that I have a respect to Gods Glory; since the Heart of man is so Deceitful?
A26847But some may ask, Whether it be lawful for a man to wish, that a thing had fallen out otherwise then it did?
A26847But some will say, Is it not the Blessing of the Lord that maketh Rich?
A26847But then you will ask, What is the work, and what are the duties, that he is to do in an Afflicted condition?
A26847But then you will ask, What should a man do in this case, that he may know?
A26847But what is the Prophets reply?
A26847But what saith the Psalmist?
A26847But would you know, what is good for a man indeed, in this life?
A26847But you will ask, How may a man come to take a right view of his condition, that he be not mistaken about it?
A26847But, saith Solomon, What hath the Wise more than the Foolish?
A26847But, whether it be the place the great Master of the Family placed us in?
A26847But, why doth our Saviour call it, The unrighteous Mammon?
A26847Can you say, Lord, It is the Condition that thou hast chosen for me; and I am here by thy Disposal and Appointment?
A26847Can you say, The Rod of Affliction hath Sealed an Instruction to you concerning God, What he is?
A26847Christians, in an Afflicted Condition, are to see, Whether the Furnace hath done this work upon them?
A26847Dare you dye in an Unbelieving, and an Unregenerate Estate?
A26847Did not I weep for him that was in trouble?
A26847Did not Solomon, King of Israel, sin by those things?
A26847Do I know what these Crosses and Afflictions may bring forth?
A26847Do I know, but that good may lie in the womb of them?
A26847Do you do every Duty, as if it were your dying Duty?
A26847Do you do the work of your condition, and perform the duties of your condition?
A26847Do you not make them the Fuel for Lusts, and Instruments of Revenge?
A26847Do you not say to the Wedge of Gold, Thou art my Confidence?
A26847Do you not spend them upon your Lusts?
A26847Do you use the things of a prosperous condition, with this consideration, That they are things for which you must give an Account?
A26847Do you use the world, as though you used it not?
A26847Doth it hinder, or further my Salvation?
A26847Doth it hinder, or further my growth in Grace?
A26847Doth it set me, nearer Heaven, or nearer Hell?
A26847Doth your behaviour become your condition?
A26847For Prosperity; How do many abuse it to the feeding of their lusts, whereby that becomes evil to them that might have been for good?
A26847For the better understanding of this, consider, What it is that we call good?
A26847For, who knoweth what is Good for Man in this Life?
A26847For, who knoweth what is good for man in this life?
A26847Had Abraham a prosperous condition?
A26847Hath God made you one of His?
A26847Hath not God done this to cure the Tympany of Pride, or the Dropsy of Covetousness, or some Creature- Surfet?
A26847Hath not the Lord sent it to take me off the creature, and to imbitter it more to me?

A26847If he rejoyce, it teacheth him, to put this question to himself, What reason have I for it?
A26847If they were good for Abraham,& c. Why may they not be good for me?
A26847Is God Vnrighteous,( saith the Apostle) that taketh Vengeance?
A26847Is it not finely made?
A26847Is it such, as becometh such providences and dispensations?

A26847Is she not Beautiful?
A26847Is she not Honest?
A26847Is the thing worth my joy?
A26847Is there any that walketh in darkness and hath no light?
A26847It is good for Christians then, to put the Question to themselves, What God hath the more from them, for that they have received from Him?
A26847It is thus with some, They never know when they have enough: And never consider, Can I run this Race with all these cumbersome things about me?
A26847It was the saying of Socrates, when he saw great Riches carried through a Town, How happy am I, that I can live without all this?
A26847It was wickedly spoken by that King of Israel, Who said, This evil is of the Lord, why should I wait any longer?
A26847Lastly, How many Sinners, hath Affliction stopped, who else, had run headlong into Hell; if God had not made a Hedg of Affliction in their way?
A26847Lest I be full and forget Thee, and say, Who is the Lord?
A26847Many indeed say, concerning Afflictions, as those did concerning Nazareth, Can any Good come out of Nazareth?
A26847Many there be, that never say, as Rebecca did, Why am I thus?
A26847Now can you say, This Diet- drink of Affliction hath cured you of this Disease?

A26847Now, how shall we know it was good for the Land that it was Plowed?
A26847Now, what is Godliness?
A26847Now, what is the Fire and Furnace to do?
A26847Now, what was the cause of all this?
A26847Of your own Mortality?
A26847Or in an Afflicted condition?
A26847Plutarch, telleth us this Story of a Roman, He put away his Wife; his Friends thereupon asked him, VVhat fault he found with her?
A26847Question, Whether it be lawful to pray for the things of this life?
A26847Riches,& c?
A26847Seeing there are many things that increase Vanity, what is Man the better?
A26847Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
A26847Shall mortal man be just with God?
A26847Shall not the Judg of all the Earth do Right?
A26847Should we expect that Grace should have no Conflict, no Conquest before the Triumph; but be Crown''d, before we have shewed what it can do?
A26847So ask a man, whether he be fit and able to bear a prosperous condition?
A26847So the Question is, Whether this Truth, do not deny and destroy all Care of Providence?
A26847So the things to be Known, are these: 1. Who is the Framer of our Conditions; Who it is Ordains and Appoints them, and puts us into them?
A26847So then, Would a man know, whether prosperity be good for him; I would ask him this, What use he doth make of the things of a prosperous condition?
A26847So then, in a prosperous condition, we should put this Question to our selves, What use we make of the things of the condition?
A26847So we may say, Is God Unrighteous, that sendeth Affliction?
A26847So, Can any good come out of Afflictions?
A26847So, How can those things, that increase cares and troubles, make Man the better?
A26847So, in every condition we should put this Question to our selves; What is it that the Lord requires me do, as the work of my condition?
A26847So, on the contrary; Would you know, Whether an Afflicted condition be Evil for a Man?
A26847Some may Ask, What is a convenient Estate?
A26847Some may ask, But what are those things that are good without doubt, without controversy, for a man in this life?
A26847Some may ask, What is it that speaks our giving the things of another life, the Preheminence?
A26847Some there are that possess much in this life, but never put this question, Do I enjoy God, with the things that I receive from him?
A26847The Apostle James, puts this Question, Can a Fountain send forth sweet water and bitter?

A26847The great Question you are to put to your selves, is, Whether you are Spiritual gainers or losers by your condition?
A26847The great Question, we are to put to our selves, is this, VVhether Affliction, hath opened a way for Instruction to come to our Hearts?

A97126Or at the least to resolve with Micah, to bear the indignation of the Lord?
A97126Or how safe it may be, after vowes to make inquiry?
A97126Verily God is with us, nigh unto us, else how is all this befallen ▪ us?
A97126We may be happy in adversity: why should we make our selves miserable by false fears, and false apprehensions?
A97126Were we duly sensible of the dangers wherein we were, of the hazards which we ranne?
A97126Were we worthy that the Lord should look upon our afflictions, and send to deliver us?
A97126Why what was this deliverance, that he could not finde words to expresse it?
A97126and what Nation is there who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
A97126and whence are all these miracles?

A97126hath he repealed his sentence?
A97126in good will thou hast done them all: we may say with amazement, what hath God wrought?
A97126or are we slaine according to the slaughter of them that are slain by us?
A97126or to say with Peter, in admiration of the happinesse, It is good being here?
A97126that that despised day of small things, should have been prolonged, and prospered into such a probability of reformation?

A97126the miraculous victories beyond all expectation, so lately, so often given in unto us?
A97126we can not run from the fire if we would: why do we disquiet our selves in vain?
A97126were it not better to walk with God, in it, and follow the Lord fully?

A17286I answer, put thy selfe upon prayer, and who knowes but assistance and blessing may come?
A17286I will behave my selfe wisely, in a perfect way; oh when wilt thou come unto mee?
A17286IF godly men be men of another spirit, and this be their commendation; why then should any account it to be a dishonour to be singular from the world?
A17286IF the spirits of godly men bee thus pretious, how vile then is this base world, which hath such irrationall absurd conceits of this spirit?
A17286If he thus inlargeth himselfe towards thee, how unequall is it, that thou shouldest be scant in thy service to him, and in thine honouring of him?
A17286If it carries, not men beyond these, what is it to live godly in Christ Jesus?
A17286If mans authority doe this, how much more Divine?
A17286If mens bodies were deformed, and ranne with loathsome issues, and putrified sores, how dejected would they be in their owne thoughts?
A17286If mens bodies were so putrisied, that they bred vermine continually( as it is reported of Maximinus) how grievous would it be to them?
A17286If she had had such a base cowardly spirit as many, to think, Alas what good shall I do?
A17286If the Worthies of God in former times, had stood upon every difficulty, what had been done in Gods cause?
A17286If the treasure be rich, what though the vessell be earthen?
A17286Indeed we should the rather follow the Lord, because we see so few follow him: What?
A17286Is it not because he intends to give me my portion in this life, but reserves better mercies for them afterwards?
A17286Is it not better not to covenant, than not to performe?
A17286Is not here then as great an evill, in this way of dissimulation as in the other?
A17286It is a speech well knowne to Scholers; of how great use might it be, if God did settle it upon their hearts?
A17286It is reported likewise of Cambyses, who falling in love with his sister, he asked the Iudges whether it were lawfull for him to marry her?
A17286It was said of Ahab, that hee sold himselfe to work wickednesse; what a fulnesse of spirit was there in him, in doing wickednesse?
A17286Know you not that wee shall judge the Angels?
A17286Lord what is all the reward I can have, except I have this mercy, except I have a child?
A17286Lord what will thou give me, so long as I goe childlesse?
A17286Now how great, how inconceiveable a dignity is this, for the poor creature to have this neare communion with God?
A17286Of what use are men whose spirits are so vile?
A17286Oh Lord, what are the spirits of men?
A17286Oh wretched creature what hast thou done?
A17286Oh, what great cause have we then to pray for these men, whose spirits are raised by naturall parts?
A17286Perhaps your Lands, your houses may be something worth, but what are your hearts worth?
A17286Quis hic est, qui implevit cor suum ad faciendum sic?
A17286Secondly, that which thou dost, though but weakly, is it upon divine grounds, and hast thou divine ends?
A17286Seneca has a strong speech concerning mans soule, What can we call the soule( sayes he) but God abiding in an humane bodie?
A17286Shall mans authority make small things to be accounted great, and shall Gods Authority doe nothing?
A17286So I may say of these, Oh that there were such a heart in them; How farre are they from having yet a heart to follow God fully?
A17286So shall God hereafter say to the men of the world, What were those men, and what did they, whom yee so hated and abused?
A17286Soule take thine ease, thou hast goods laid up for many yeares; what were all those to his soule, to the happinesse of his soule?
A17286The Lord said to Miriam and Aaron, concerning Moses, when they spoke against him, Were you not afraid to speake against my servant Moses?
A17286The Lord shall then answer; What?
A17286The excellency of a thing is in the use of it: What can it do?
A17286The life of a Dog is maintained by carrion, of a Swine by swill, of a Toade by poyson; but what doth a man care for these?
A17286The reasonings of many mens spirits, shewes much basenesse in them; Why are wee bound to doe this?
A17286The words are very emphaticall in the Hebrew, they are thus, Were yee not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
A17286Their way, their lives are singular; Why?
A17286Their wayes are different from other men; I, that is true indeed, who can thinke otherwise?
A17286Then Iulian answers, And if it be sufficient to be accused, who can be innocent?
A17286They are not valiant for the truth upon the earth: and what is the reason?
A17286Thine did I say?
A17286Thirdly, doth the sight of thy weaknesse make thee cling, and cleave unto Jesus Christ?
A17286To what purpose doe we live, if we be of no use?
A17286Wee reade of a notable speech, that Hilarion had when hee was to die; Goe out, goe out my soule, why dost thou feare, why dost thou doubt?
A17286Were hee onely my servant, though he were not Moses, were you not afraid?
A17286Were it not for a few of these spirits, what glory would God have in the world?
A17286What Divine spirits were in the three Children?
A17286What a shame is it, saies S. Hierom, that faith should not be able to doe that, that infidelity hath done?
A17286What a shame is this example to many Christians?
A17286What a singularity was this in S. Iohn?
A17286What an excellent thing is it, to have a spirit sutable to ones condition?
A17286What blessed instruments might you be of glory to God, of comfort and encouragement to his people?
A17286What braver Courtiers ever lived, than Ioseph, Nehemiah, and Daniel?
A17286What doe you more than other men?
A17286What doth brave cloathing, what doth money, what doe titles of honour raise the dignity?
A17286What drossie corporall soules have such men?
A17286What gracious visitatiōs have your spirits had from him?
A17286What great mercies might we expect, did we see God raysing up truely noble and generous spirits, more generally in the great ones of the earth?
A17286What griefe sufficent to lament the seeing of such filthy swine to trample under their feet such pretious pearles?
A17286What is there that thou couldst bee glad to bee exempted from?
A17286What is this to that sight of Gods infinite, dreadfull authority?
A17286What manner of men were they, sayes Gideon to them, whom ye slew at Tabor?
A17286What needs prayer?
A17286What one thing is there in Gods Law that could bee spared?
A17286What place is accounted so honourable, and excels in more delights than the Courts of Princes?
A17286What poore things are they, that many mens spirits are not able to beare?
A17286What scorne and contempt is cast upon them?
A17286What shall I render unto the Lord?
A17286What shall it prosit a man if hee gain the world, and lose himselfe?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286What?
A17286When Oecolampadius lay sick, his friends askt him, whether the light did not offend him?
A17286When the writing was signed, the Lions den threatned, did he mussle up his Religion, and shrink up his spirit?
A17286Where have we five such expressions together, to set out the fulnesse of the worke of mens spirits in following after the Lord?
A17286Where lies the power of godlinesse?
A17286Wherefore have wee fasted, and thou seest not, and wherefore have we afflicted our soules, and thou regardest not?
A17286Who are those that shal be thus abundantly satisfied, and shall have this River of pleasures?
A17286Who is he that hath filled his heart; in our Translations, That durst presume in his heart to doe so?
A17286Who knowes but that thy eternall estate may depend upon those sparkes that hee is now kindling in theé?
A17286Who more eminent in learning than Moses, who was learned in all the learning of the Aegyptians?
A17286Who such enemies to Christ; as the Scribes and Pharises, men of the strongest parts?
A17286Who such enemies to S. Paul when hee came to Athens, as the Philosophers there?
A17286Why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie unto the Holy Ghost?
A17286Why is not Ioshua mentioned likewise, for surely hee followed the Lord fully, as well as Caleb?
A17286Why should not the works of the spirit be so too?
A17286Why?
A17286Will your comforts hold out in sore and grievous distresses?
A17286With what face can you complaine of weaknesse, and yet feed your distempers?
A17286You talke of merry hearts and joyfull spirits, but can you be joyfull in affliction?
A17286Your parts were alwayes hopefull, but how apparently have they beene raised since grace hath sanctified them?
A17286almost these seventy yeares hast thou served Christ, and dost thou now feare death?
A17286and can it not do so now?
A17286and shall not then our hearts and lives bee more fully after the blessed God?
A17286and thou my sonne Brutus too?
A17286and which so scornes and abuses men of such excellent spirits?
A17286and who is there, that being as I am, would go into the Temple to save his life?
A17286and, what thou?
A17286are these to the excellency of mans nature?
A17286are they not the blessed wayes of holinesse, the wayes of eternall rest and peace that thou hast left?
A17286as Christ said to his Disciples, when many forsook him, Will you also forsake me?
A17286can not a man bee saved except hee doe thus?
A17286doe they not bring more honor to his Name, than ever you did?
A17286doe they not doe God farre more service than you?
A17286doth holinesse, that makes God glorious, make man contemptible and vile?
A17286doth that which makes God so honourable in the eies of the blessed Angels and Saints, make man a sott, and a foole in the eyes of men?
A17286egredere anima mea, quid dubitas?
A17286for whom the Lord hath done such great things?
A17286hath Christ laid down his life,& shed his pretious blood for the renewing of Gods Image in man, and is it nothing but this?
A17286have not many of them most excellent pretious spirits?
A17286how contemptibly was hee used?
A17286how dejected are they then?
A17286how did they carry themselves?
A17286how disconsolate?
A17286how doe their hearts sinke like lead?
A17286how doth he difference a few odde contemptible people from the whole world?
A17286how great things will they suffer?
A17286how little would he be minded, or regarded?
A17286how loathsome is the mixture of their spirits?
A17286how soone is the heart brought fully to close with them?
A17286how would you have them live?
A17286in the vertue, in the power, and life of Christ Jesus, if it doth not enable to go beyond others?
A17286is godlinesse but a notion, but a conceit, that it will not carry men beyond the light of nature?
A17286is it absolutely necessary?
A17286is it not the God of life, and peace, and comfort, and all good, that thou hast forsaken?
A17286is this that Land that God said hee would shew me?
A17286is this that fruitfull Land for which I must leave my Country and all my friends?
A17286is this thy kindnesse to him?
A17286may not such a thing be lawfully done?
A17286not better fruit grow upon the tree of life, than upon the root of nature?
A17286not better fruit in the garden, in the vineyard of the Lord, then in the wildernesse?
A17286or was there never any thing that had as much difficulty as this in it?
A17286put into stocks, and whipped; wanted cloathes and victuals?
A17286septuagintaprope annis servisti Christo, et mortemtimes?
A17286shall I smite them?
A17286shall I then be glad of these wayes I now walke in?
A17286shall he have none to follow him?
A17286that was as unlikely as this, to come to a good issue and yet was at last accomplished?
A17286were they some vile- spirited men?
A17286what cost will they bee at?
A17286what was S. Paul, and what were those that were with him, who was so accounted of, were they not men of most excellent and admirable spirits?
A17286what was that, that raised and inlarged Davids heart?
A17286what?
A17286what?
A17286who ever had a higher straine of eloquence than Esay?
A17286who ever more profound than S. Paul?
A17286whom hast thou forsaken?
A17286why may not this then be done?
A17286will your spirits hold out in tribulation?
A17286wilt thou have thy blow also at him?
A17286would they not have thought it better to have been at more liberty?
A17286would you have them live according to the common course of the world?
A17286〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 5 Quid prodest esse, quod esse non predest?
A87104And may they not as truly be charged upon us?
A87104And now what more fit?
A87104And shall we our selves practice that towards God which we would abhorr and condemn in a Servant towards us?
A87104And will you know what followeth upon such provocations?
A87104At the twelfth verse of this Psalm we find David putting a question, what shall I render?
A87104At whose command am I?
A87104Aug. Si non vovisses quid aliud tibi suadendum suit aut quid melius ab homine fieri potest, quam ut ei se restituat à quo institutus est?
A87104But do we thus requite the Lord, oh foolish People, and unwise?
A87104But it may be here objected, what meaneth David to say thus peremptorily?
A87104But what is it that rendreth this life the matter of David''s desire and hope?
A87104Can two walk together and not be agreed?
A87104Doth not the Law of Nature teach us to do as we would be done to?
A87104Doth the Spirit or the Flesh govern me?
A87104Finally, Do we not think that God is highly provoked with, and therefore will surely and sorely avenge himself upon such ingratefull Rebels?
A87104How happy is the condition of a Saint?
A87104How welcome was the spacious Land to Jonah, when he had been Prisoner in the Whales belly?
A87104I am not able to requite, shall I not endeavour to return something to him for all his love?
A87104I have deserved nothing but death, and tears, and falling, shall I not be thankfull for deliverance from all these?
A87104I will?
A87104Indeed how can it be expected that those services which are onely rented forth to Mens eyes, should have any payment at God''s hands?
A87104Is carnal reason, or God''s Word, my rule?
A87104Is not this the most odious ingratitude to retaliate injuries for curtesies?
A87104Lord, what wilt thou give me if I go graceless?
A87104Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
A87104Nay yet worse, like the Earth that drinketh in the Rain, and instead of Herbs meet for the Dresser, bringeth forth Thorns and Briars?
A87104O, my Brethren, often ask your selves these Questions, Before whom do I walk?
A87104Quasi diceret Rem novam agis& insolentem cum enim soleas ex uno beneficio alia atque aliaseriatim ducere, quid modo hanc telam interrūp ●?
A87104Qui Deo non vult reddere bona quae vovit ei, quomodo vult à Deo accipere bona quae ei Deus promisit?
A87104Saint Paul saith, it is God who worketh in us to will and to do, and doth David attribute it to himself, I will?
A87104The sense of this made Ezra to blush in behalf of the People, crying out, And now, Oh our God, what shall we say after this?
A87104Thus indeed we ought to do; but what do we?
A87104To this purpose the reasonings of David and Hezechiah concerning death, and the grave, are very observable, Shall the dust prayse thee?
A87104To walk in the land of the living is the wicked mans desire, yea were it possible he would walk here for ever, but for what end?
A87104VVas not God incensed bitterly against the old World, when he said, It repented me that I made Man upon Earth?
A87104VVhat Man would be so impudent as to steal before the Judges face?
A87104VVhat foolishness is it to desire that one should be a Spectator, and expect another to be a rewarder of thy actions?

A87104VVhich of us( my Brethren) here before God this day have not experienced variety of mercies, positive and privitive, in our persons and relations?
A87104VVould it not then be a great curb to our licenciousness, did we consider that the King of Kings, and Judge of all the World looketh on?

A87104What speak I of Saints?
A87104Whom should a Man labour to please if not his Benefactor?
A87104and in the sense of thy vileness thus reason with thy self, I am unworthy to receive, shall I be unwilling to requite the goodness of God?
A87104and would we have others deal by us as we do by God?
A87104are they restrained?
A87104are we not like the high- way side, which returneth no crop, though you cast never so much seed upon it?
A87104builds an House, and hopeth not to enjoy the comfort thereof?
A87104cur non pergis nectere hanc catenam?

A87104in Gen. Quid ergo vovemus Deo nisi ut simus Templum Dei?
A87104nay rather, do we not stand out the more rebelliously against him?
A87104or act any thing unseemly in his Princes sight?

A87104these gentle Batteries?
A87104thou hast delivered my soul from death, to whom but thee should I dedicate my life?
A87104what men resolve and promise must be what they are able to performe, and is not walking before God more than he had ability to do?
A87104yea remain in the Congregation of the Dead, whilst in the Land of the Living?
A87104yea, like the Vineyard, which though fenced and planted, instead of Grapes brought forth wild Grapes?
A87104yea, which of us at some time, in some kind or other, hath not been blessed with deliverances, and that from various, yea desperate dangers?

A9565732. who is on my side who?
A9565737. sleepest thou Peter?
A956574. how credulous and forward was shee to entertaine his suggestion?
A95657A new Christ, a new Passion, a new Resurrection: What would we be?
A95657A strange thing in Ely to punish the Thefts, Rapines, Sacriledge, Adulters, Incests of his sonnes with why doe you so?
A95657Alas, what would we have?
A95657And how doth the stone out of the Wall, and the Beame in the Chamber, cry out aloud against oppression?
A95657And how hath the Error of Religion made many amongst us so wanton, that they know not what to have, nor what to hold?
A95657And secondly how doth it inflame the soule too, filling that with lusts as hot as hell?
A95657And sleepest thou, Peter?
A95657And what was the reason of this their most unnaturall, and more then bruitish cariage towards their brother?
A95657And what were these?
A95657And who are these hidden ones?
A95657And, is there an ayming at the head of Authority now, an endeavour by some to lay all even and levell?
A95657Are the Souldiers ● anding themselves?
A95657Are the high Preists consulting?
A95657But what may be done in this case, may some one say?
A95657But why?
A95657Dormis tu Petre?
A95657For if the spirit and soule of obedience be taken away, what can follow but Ataxie and Confusion?
A95657How doe Pride and Luxury strive for the upper end of the table?
A95657How doth the very breath of most desperate swearers, and blasphemers even poyson the very aire of the Kingdome wherein we live?
A95657How have many miserable people been content, meerely led by the instigation of the Devill, and enflamed by him?
A95657How was it with Ahab who cast off God, and joyned himselfe to Idols, as the Prophet Hosea phraseth it?
A95657Is the Son of God neere his betraying?
A95657Is there a striking at Religion, in an endeavour after liberty therein?
A95657Lawlesse liberty, and what is that?
A95657Nay who can count the hurts that by drunken distempers come both to the body and soule?
A95657Nemo miserius misero, non miserante seipsum: Who can be more miserable then those, which will not be mercifull unto themselves?
A95657No sooner had Pharaoh asked that bold blasphemous question, Who is the Lord that I should obey his voice, to let Israel go?
A95657Oh how doth the excesse of wine, and any other strong liquor, fire the bloud, casting the body into feavers& c?
A95657Oh love I thou duty and ornament of Christians, thou glory of Saints, thou delight of God, where art thou?
A95657Oh yee Lawes of England what doe yee?
A95657Or what have I more to lose?

A95657Shall we therefore reject physick, because the sicknesse of some is incurable?
A95657Shalt thou indeed reigne over us?
A95657Shalt thou?

A95657how art thou gone?
A95657how sadly miserable would their condition be?
A95657shalt thou have dominion over us?
A95657the Prophet admiring their folly, in going about that, which was impossible for them to effect, why doe they rage?
A95657to what purpose is all this?
A95657what was this but to shave that head which deserved to be cut off?
A95657where are yee?
A95657where shall we finde thee?

A70828Certainly, this design can not but take; yes, and take him they may, but to what purpose?
A70828Have they set up themselves, and pull''d downe the Churches?

A70828Love these, and love Christ; neglect these, and you care not for Iesus Christ: Now then ▪ have these taken thy heart and ravished thy soule?
A70828Now do you beleeve that this is the Word of God, and that there is any truth in it?
A70828Now then, all things considered, what hath this wicked tyrant got to himselfe?
A70828On the other side, is not Christ, despised Christ, worth the having, which helpes all, gives a right to all, guides in all?
A70828Ordinances as they are Christs?
A70828Secondly, when the children playd the hypocrites, and would not be obedient to God, God provides a rod to whip them into subjection?
A70828So there must needs be mercy in the fountain of mercy in the Father of mercy: Why then take ye not the right way?
A70828Tell me now, doth not this tremble your Malignants spirits?
A70828The way to obtaine is to goe to God for it; Are not the Ordinances Gods?
A70828This you will conclude is right Christian valour indeed; but whence fetches the Christian this undaunted resolution?
A70828VVho cals to minde the all- searching eye, who looks into hearts?
A70828VVho is it that considers duly the weightinesse of the busines he i ● ● bout?
A70828VVho is it that premeditates into whose presence he is to come, and with what a Majesty he hath to doe with?
A70828VVho is it that takes into his thoughts that now he is about soule- saving or soule- destroying worke?
A70828Was there ever any truth of God more plaine?
A70828Wh ● t can any desire more?
A70828What a deepe engagement hath a Christian to become ● ll Christs, while Christ is all in all to him?
A70828What a miserable case are those in which have not Christ, when parts, Sermons, Sacraments, all increase damnation?
A70828What became of proud Pharaoh and his Army, were they not drownt in the Sea?
A70828What can you desire more?
A70828What deep groanes, and pleading- blood, goes daily to God by this meanes?
A70828What earnest prayers are now put up?
A70828What have any, nay all these got, by all the blood which they have drawne from the Saints of God?
A70828What thinke you now of the truth of the doctrine?
A70828When the Eunuch asked Philip,( saying) what doth hinder me to baptized?
A70828When times of peace, riches, and honour, and liberty given to the Saints, when the Gospell times so long promised to the Churches, shall come?
A70828Whence fetches he this?
A70828Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad?
A70828Where now is cunning Cyrus, and ambitious Alexander?
A70828Who are they among all the Gods of the Countries, that have delivered their Country out of mine hand?
A70828Who is it that are d ● sirous to preserve the people of God, and defend themselves in temple- worke by all lawfull meanes?
A70828Who is it that hath set upon the worke of Reformation?
A70828Who is it that out of the sense of hi ● ignorance, makes it his maine end in all his Services to get saving knowledge, the more to g ● orifie God?
A70828Who is it that would submit to the Word and rule of God?
A70828Who unto Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for y ● ● devoure widdowes houses, and for a pretence m ● ke long prayers:( what then?)
A70828Yea, who would not be rouled u ●,& wholly enclosed in Christ, where there dwells so much sweetneste, s ● much f ● llness ●, so much freedome?
A70828and all Gods?
A70828and of the other Apostles and Martyrs: But now whence draw all the Saints these Heroicke resolutions?
A70828and who discernes the Almighty power of God who is able to dambe body and soule?
A70828and who is this rod thinke you?
A70828are these the cause of thy rejoycing, and the want of these thy sorrow?
A70828canst thou rejoyce in Christ and account thy interest in him to be dearer to thee then all other honours and priviledges?
A70828do you the more love pure Ordinances as they are the more agreeable to the mind of Christ?
A70828doe you pray for the prosperity of Christ''s cause?
A70828doe you the more love Christians where there is the more of Christ in them?
A70828doest thou love to follow Christ under all contempts?
A70828doest thou prize the Word of God above all the Words wealth?
A70828doth not the ebbings and flowings of Christs cause bring you to it and cast you from it?
A70828doth your hearts tell you that Religion is dearer to you then esiates, then life, then the best blood in your bodies?
A70828if we consider how unpreparedly and carelesly most goe either to reading the Word or hearing of Sermons?
A70828is not Christ, Gods?
A70828is not this a strong support for the Saints that all the working, plotting, and powers of the wicked shall do them good?
A70828is not this a sweet support for Saints in these sad times?
A70828is not this enough to startle a carnall man or woman out of their sleepe of security?
A70828is there no Physition there?
A70828it is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A70828what delight have yee in the Saints?
A70828what hurt doth one doe to a poore pined prisoner, to knock off his bolts and set him at liberty?
A70828what hurt doth one when he finds a poore childe like to perish in the woods, to lead him out and bring him home to his Fathers house?
A70828what hurt doth the wicked to the Saints by killing them?
A70828what inquires doe you make after Christ?
A70828what is the Word and preaching, but a declaration of the mind of God to us?
A70828what now will you venture for Christ ● nd his cause and his people?
A70828what rule goe you by?
A70828what soule- meetings have you with Christ?
A70828what sweet communion have ● ou with Christ?
A70828whence fetch they all this strength an ● courage?
A70828who shall deliver me from the death and damnation which the sinne of my nature, my flesh( the body) hath brought me to?
A70828who would not be on God''s side and Christ''s side and the Saints side?
A70828who would not c ● ose with this God and trust this God with all?
A70828who would not seek for an interest in Jesus Christ?
A70828who?
A70828why goe ye not to God in your misery?
A70828why lay ye not the Promises before God, and claime your priviledges by the death and sufferings of Christ?
A70828why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
A70828will you stand for it and owne it what condition soever it''s in?
A70828you may build upon, you may venture your salvation upon it God never deceived any; who then would not be a christian?
A70828you shall see, it put him to lay out unto the Lord for help, it brings him to his prayers; and now Lord what wait I for?
A70828● ow doe yee prize the Ordinances?
A70828● s not this a strange cause which the enemies themselves helpe forward, and doe the Saints most good, where they intend the greatest hurt?
A70256( For what can men in darkness see?)
A70256All this Glory, all this Joy, an Heart full, and a Heaven full, and to Eternity also, and that for so few imperfect services?
A70256And are not you living?
A70256And doth not Grace teach them to propagate the Truth, and true Religion?
A70256And doth not Hezekiah look upon this as one of the great works to be attended in this World, without which it is not worth while to live?
A70256And had he not done well?
A70256And have we sympathized with our Brethren in their sufferings?
A70256And how often also do the Saints in Scripture reprove the wicked and ungodly?
A70256And is it enough that you provide Meat, and Drink, and Apparel, Portions, and Trades, aud ways of livelihood for them?
A70256And is it not exprest as a duty, and a great one too?
A70256And is not this also a most blessed service?
A70256And is not your day also far spent?
A70256And must I be on the receiving hand as to all this Glory for ever and for ever?
A70256And though we can not expect to entertain them as they did, yet,( if we could) what is that to the entertainment of Christ himself?
A70256And to these Gates you must come at last, and pass through them also to the highest Tribunal, to answer to this Question, What hast thou done?
A70256And what are all the sufferings of this present time, in comparison with the glory which shall be revealed in us?
A70256And what is the reason, that many are so ignorant this day, but because they wanted Family- instruction from Parents and Masters?
A70256And what saith Solomon?
A70256And what says John of that?
A70256And what?
A70256And where is singularity of life to be seen?
A70256And who knows what God hath appointed for him this way?
A70256Are you not alive?
A70256But have we been sufferers in affection?
A70256But how can it be, that the Evening should be so dark, and yet that at Evening- time it should be light?
A70256But how?
A70256But if it be thus; why have some of the Saints mentioned in Scripture desired to dye?
A70256But is it not lawful then in any case, to desire to dye?
A70256But shall this Evening then determine this Day, so that the Conversion of the Jews shall become another Day?
A70256But still, what have you done, if you were now as near the gates of the grave, as here he was?
A70256But then, do not the Saints, when they are dead praise the Lord?
A70256But what are those services that may be done here, which can not be done in Heaven, that so we may see the Point in Instances?
A70256But what followeth?
A70256But what is the Light, and what the Darkness?
A70256But wherein shall this Light consist?
A70256But why then is it called a Day in the same Verse?
A70256Come; how long?
A70256Do you know the price of your own souls, and not of theirs too?
A70256Doth not Hezekiah here say, The Father to the Children shall make known thy Truth?
A70256Doth not Nature teach Men to propagate their kind?
A70256First then, What is this Evening?
A70256For Hope( that is, the thing hoped for) that is seen, is not Hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
A70256For do you think it enough, that you breed them up to live in this world?
A70256For have not our hearts sometimes checked us, upon reviews of the loss of our opportunities to do such or such a good work?
A70256For he that had but one Talent, doth not say, Lord, I had but one, and what can a Man do with one?
A70256For what great mistakes have there been, about the time of Antichrist''s ruine, and the calling of the Jews?
A70256For you have lived lon, and perhaps are now grown old, but have you been old Traders?
A70256For, what do they think when they are entring into the joy of their Lord?
A70256Have we been prepared for the Cross?
A70256How few are they who have a just valuation of these living mercies, or that duly lay to heart the loss of them?
A70256How few, that profess the fear of God this day, are writing of Copies for posterity to walk by?
A70256How many Churches did he usually pray for?
A70256How often do the Saints under the Old Testament, pray for the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus under the New?
A70256How should such, as these walk before others, so as to answer the Character of Elders?
A70256I have laid several particulars before you, concerning the service of this life;& have you not been wanting in many of them?
A70256If a Man dye, shall he live again?
A70256In a word, to propagate pure Religion,& undefiled, to the generations to come, is not this glorious work?
A70256In the mean- while, where is your Religion?
A70256Is not suffering for Christ, glorious work?
A70256Is your capacity than such, that you can not praise the Lord?
A70256It seems, that Nicodemus was an old Man when he came to Christ by night; For, saith he, Can a Man be born when he is old?
A70256Now God will use means to bring this to pass, and what are those means?
A70256Now would not this be most miserable?
A70256Oh, remember the care of good Manoah, when the Angel told him, he should have a son; But, saith he, How shall we order the Child?
A70256Or, are not theirs as precious as yours?
A70256Or, have we not been among the fearful?
A70256Or, is it all one to you where you spend your Eternity, and whether you go to Heaven or Hell?
A70256Or, that you give them civil Education, and teach them how to carry themselves as men?
A70256Or, what care have you, that Godliness may flourish in the next generation, who take not the course that it may thrive in your own Family?
A70256Praise ye the Lord; who?
A70256Remember them; How?
A70256Secondly, What shall we say to such as have lived to no purpose at all?
A70256Secondly; What is that Light, that shall shine so gloriously at the Evening- time, especially at the end of it?
A70256Shall thy loving kindness be declared in the Grave?
A70256Shall thy wonders be known in the dark?
A70256To do good, and to communicate both to the bodily and spiritual necessities of Saints and others, is not this glorious work?
A70256We must appear for Christ, his Truth, his Rules, and Glory; or where is our love to him?
A70256Were this throughly weighed, how would Holiness be promoted, Saints thrive, Families flourish, Churches revive?
A70256What a Catalogue then had Paul of Churches and Saints to recommend to God in his daily prayers?
A70256What a deal of good had Hezekiah done, before he fell into this sickness?
A70256What cause have we to bless God that we see the Truth and Gospel going on conquering and to conquer all Errour and Opposition?
A70256What great things have been, and still are done by prayers?
A70256What hath been here said answereth that Challenge of the Papists; Where was your Church before the Dayes of Luther?
A70256What saith the Apostle?
A70256What then, if God should now lay you( as he did Hezekiah) upon your sick Bed, and threaten to cut off the Thrum of your lives?
A70256Where now was the Light?
A70256Where your Conscience as to your Covenant?
A70256Why?
A70256Why?
A70256Why?
A70256Why?
A70256Why?
A70256Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead?
A70256Would you not with him turn your faces to the wall, and weep sore?
A70256Yea, how many are there among the Professors of the Gospel, by whose failings we may learn more than by their Vertues?
A70256Yes, as to a worldly account: Yea, but there is another, and a better Trade,& what have you done therein?
A70256You have gained thus much in the world, he will say, but what redounds to my share of all that you have done?
A70256and are not the shadows of the evening stretched out?
A70256and have we accounted them happy that have endured, yea, and their sufferings honourable for the sake, and in the quarrel of such a Lord and Master?
A70256and shall the dead arise and praise thee?
A70256and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
A70256and was it not time now to dye?
A70256and what a glorious report?
A70256and what have you said to them?
A70256and what shall we do do unto him?
A70256and where was the One Day in my Text?
A70256is not the exercise of Faith, Hope, and Patience, glorious work?
A70256is there charity in Hell?
A70256must we pray for Jesus Christ?
A70256or thy faithfulness in destruction?
A70256shall it declare thy Truth?
A70256shall the dust praise thee?
A70256was there no remedy, but God must kill him, and presently too, if the burthen of the people lay a little longer upon him?
A70256what a trade did Paul drive this way?
A70256what an edifying patern, and for the glory of God, and our Lord Jesus Christ?
A70256what have I omitted?
A70256what is that which they may thus leave behind them?
A70256what saith the Psalmist?
A70256what was the matter?
A70256what?
A70256where your love of God, and Godliness?
A70256who knows the errors of his life this way?
A70256who would not pray that he might live to do God service?
A70256will not a Child of God be satisfied without length of dayes?
A70256will you love their bodies, and neglect their souls?
A70256— But how have you taught those that are under your care?
A91855& shall not we tremble when he is angry?
A91855& unde illum placabimus?
A918551. g Holocaustis non delectaberis] Nihil ergo offeremus?
A91855105. x Sed quomodo punit deus induratione?
A9185511. how are these judgements concatenated together, and pursue one another as Jobs messengers, and the billowes of the Sea?
A9185513. where shall we have healing?
A9185514. yea how was the self- debasing penitentiary commended and comforted by Christ?
A9185518, 19. ther''s much of Christ in the broken heart: how then can a broken heart chuse but be endeared to Christ?
A9185519. and against the honour of Religion, scandalizing Gods people, and giving great occasion to the enemies of God to blaspeame?
A9185522. and shall not mans own spirit groan, and his own heart break under the pressure of his own iniquities?
A918553. y Quid est cordurum?
A918554. yet when all''s done, we are but unprofitable Servants, what have we done more then duty?
A91855Against thee that hast made me, maintained me, loved me, delivered me, crowned me, redeemed me,& c. oh against thee, thee only; what?
A91855And how was the selfe- debasing Publican justified before the Pharisy?
A91855And shall England think to commit the same sins, and yet escape the judgements of God?
A91855And till the sinner do return even unto God, how can he be said compleatly and truely to repent?
A91855Are our hearts iron?
A91855But how may we discover whether our hearts and spirits be truly broken and contrite?
A91855But how shall we get and keep broken Spirits?
A91855Can we redresse these distempers?
A91855Consider, is all sin bitter, thine owne sin most bitter: dost thou cast first stone at thy selfe?
A91855Did Felix tremble slavishly?
A91855Finally, over and beyond all this, God plagues hardnesse of heart with dreadfull judgments, who ever hardened himselfe against God, and prospered?
A91855Finally, what eternall vengeance do hard hearts here treasure up unto themselves against the day of wrath?
A91855For till the Conscience be convinced of sin, how shall the heart be contrite for sin?
A91855For, which of all those Abominations fore- mentioned is not England deeply guilty of?
A91855God dwell there?
A91855God will not dwell with the proud, hard, impenitent, unbelieving heart, yet will dwell with the contrite and humble spirit: What?
A91855Hast thou such a flexible dutifull spirit?
A91855He dwels in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit; but to what end?
A91855How did the people tremble at the great raine?
A91855How did the repenting people of God in Ezra''s daies, Tremble because of the great Raine?
A91855How terrible was that vengeance of God upon Nebuchadnezar hardned in his pride?
A91855If you be holy, what do you to him?
A91855In what sense is such a broken spirit here stiled The S ● crifices of God?
A91855In what words shall I a little represent the sins of England, and the sins of your own soules unto you for the actuall mollifying of your hearts?
A91855Is a truly broken spirit, such gratefull Sacrifices of God?
A91855Is this thy kindnesse to thy God?
A91855Oh, how is Truth, Peace, Union among Brethren, health and our many comforts broken?
A91855Reflect now upon thy self ô Christian, where is thy Spirit of Supplication?
A91855Sic veniemus ad deum?
A91855The Psalm may be justly stiled Davids Recantation: How doth he bleed and melt for his bloody sins?
A91855Then the betrayers and murderers of Christ can say, men and brethren what shall we do?
A91855There is an hard Question in Divinity, whether Faith be not part of Repentance?
A91855These are Gods Sacrifices, these God will not despise, and then ▪ who shall despise them?
A91855They shall look upon me whom they have pierced: ther''e''s faith, for with what other eye can they behold Christ crucifyed?
A91855They that despise, scorne, oppose, blaspheme the word of God, how farre are they from true penitentiall Contrition?
A91855Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my Throne, and the earth is my foot- stoole, where is the house that ye build unto mee?
A91855Till the bea rt truely turn away from sin, how should it acceptably convert or return to God?
A91855What Spirituall wrath doth God poure out upon hard hearts?
A91855What Temporall vengeance inflicts hee for hardnesse of heart?
A91855What is here meant by the word Spirit?
A91855What is intended by a broken spirit?
A91855Where is the place of my rest?
A91855Where now is thine humility and spirituall poverty?
A91855Where those mighty unutterable groanes and desires?
A91855Whither are wee falling?
A91855against Bathsheba''s chastity, by uncleannesse: against his owne body, the Temple of the holy Ghost, by defiling it?
A91855and in earth ther''s none that I can desire besides thee?
A91855and shall our hard hearts only remaine unbroken?
A91855and where is the place of my rest?
A91855as the publike Confession of Faith, and Catechism, besides many things in Church- Government,& c.?
A91855d ● est thou thus requite the Lord oh foolish person and unwise?
A91855had not David sinned against Vriiah''s life, by murdering him?
A91855how deare is such a heart to God?
A91855if sinfull, what doe you against him?
A91855if they be habitually broken, how pleasing shall they be to God continually?
A91855if thou beest hardened in spirituall pride, self- conceit,& c. how should a broken spirit lodge in thy brest?
A91855nay for ground, manner, and end of all our penitentiall mournings for sinne, doe we not come short of duty?
A91855saith, thou art my portion in the land of the living — whom have I in heaven but thee?
A91855should these things still pass on without controule, what Religion shall we leave to our posterity?
A91855the word is as fire, to ● o ● ● en and melt the iron: are our hearts stone?
A91855till the heart be contrite and kindly broken for sin, how shall it forsake and turn away from sin?
A91855where those wrastlings,& c. doest thou not know what a spirit of prayer meanes?
A91855which of us would not be glad that our hearts and spirits might be truly acceptable to God?

A42469And what is all this to Mr. L. his Clients teaching men to observe some as luckie, some as unluckie days?
A42469And what is that at all to your purpose?
A42469And what is the ground, think we, of this grievous charge, which he enters upon with such a passionate Exclamation?
A42469And what, think we, would their principles be?
A42469And who denies the Science of Astrologie, so far as it considers the site of the Stars to be lawful?

A42469Ate, that hath so blasted it?
A42469But I demand here, who indued those Stars with this lascivious qalification, or gave them this lustful efficacie?
A42469But I demand of Mr. S. whence had people these frivolous fancies and superstitious conceits?
A42469But as King James said sometime, the Lawes were his, and who should expound his Laws but himself?
A42469But how doth it appear that the Stars rule men?
A42469But how would the man be heard and tried?
A42469But this is to reason a genere praedicato ad speciem statuendam, A Mysterie; and therefore a miraculous Mysterie?

A43579( so the professing Christian under the Gospel- dispensation) or what profit is there of Circumcision, or of Spiritual Priviledges?
A435793. had the People no publick Ordinances or Instructions all this time?
A435793.10, 11, 12. Who would not then own and lay to heart Zions case?
A435793.15, 16. or as Micah followed the Danites that took away his Idols, crying after them; they said, What aileth thee?
A43579Ah poor sinners what will become of you if you live and dye without God?
A43579And canst thou not find in thy heart to spend some sad thoughts on thy departing Lord, or follow the sad Hearse of deceased Ordinances?
A43579And doth not this call sensible Souls to lament after the Lord?
A43579And hath drawn out his wrath a great length, and is there no fault in us?
A43579And have men cause to rejoyce in this?
A43579And if God be for us, who can be against us?
A43579And is not he worth lamenting after?
A43579And shall not Gods Children lament for those full breasts of Gospel ordinances?
A43579And shall we let the only true God go with silence and dry eyes?
A43579And then also put on others, saying, Sing ye unto it?
A43579And we may discern Gods anger in the wrath of men: And after all this shall we sit still, and be sottish under this astonishing hand of God?
A43579And what will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation that shall come from far?
A43579And which of you are so hard- hearted, but you would lament a dead Friend, or Brother, Sister, Wife, Child, Parent?
A43579Are all congregations, supplyed with able faithful Ministers?
A43579Are means of Salvation departed, and my Soul left under a necessity of perishing?
A43579Are not Saints Prayers effectual?
A43579Are there not sad symptoms upon us of a departing Gospel?
A43579But how comes it to pass that men may be so long senseless and not lament after the Lord all this while?
A43579But how shall I know they are Saints, or fit to joyn with?
A43579But how shall I prevail with my self to do it?
A43579But it may be asked whether the Ark was only twenty years there?
A43579But may not the Innocent deliver the Island?
A43579But what a Famin?)
A43579But where are they?
A43579By whom shall Jacob arise?
A43579Can an Angel bear our manners, forgive our sins, and supply our wants?
A43579Can we lament to any else that will or can hear or help us?
A43579Can you let God depart either from your spirits or from the Assemblies of his People and not stir up your selves to take hold of him?
A43579Do you not want it?
A43579Dost thou lament so sadly after reconciliation with me, and return to thee?
A43579Dost thou want an heart, to repent, friendship with me?
A43579Doth not God much withdraw from the Societies of his Servants?
A43579Doth not our own wickedness correct us, and our backsliding reprove us?
A43579Doth not stupidity and sleepiness seize on the Disciples, even when Jesus is in his Agony?
A43579Doth not the Gospel flourish?
A43579Doth not this bode evil?
A43579Eli being informed of his Sons profligate courses, too much indulged them, or too mildly rebukes them; Why do you such things?
A43579Even an Heathen King took this course, and upon no other assurance, than a[ Who can tell?]
A43579For, should not a People seek unto their God?
A43579General Head to be explained in the Text and Doctrine, is, what is this lamenting after the Lord?
A43579God forbid that we should say with Pharaoh, Who is the Lord?
A43579God hath condescended to his Peoples supplications, why not yours?
A43579God saith, If her Father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven daies?
A43579Hath Converting Grace under Ordinances changed your hearts?
A43579Hath God crushed and conquered that, and planted right Principles in you, to incline you to him?
A43579Hath God set us in this office only to tell others of their faults?
A43579Hath not God manifested himself more in his Providences for us, than of late?
A43579Have there not been great Attempts made to quench the Light amongst us?
A43579Have we not publick Ordinances?
A43579Have we not reason to call to remembrance our own faults this day?
A43579Have you not been forced to eat that which some have trodden under their feet, and to drink that which some men have fouled with their feet?
A43579Have you not been in danger to be rockt asleep by such Truths as should have awakt you, and would, if faithfully mannaged?
A43579Head is, Who are the Persons, People, that are to lament after the Lord?
A43579How amicable doth converting grace make those that were at deadly and desperate feud?
A43579How blessed a thing is it to twist interests with this lovely Society?
A43579How can I endure to see or foresee the destruction of my own bowels?
A43579How can it go well with me, when it goes ill with the Church?
A43579How comes that to pass?
A43579How doth it concern us?
A43579How have David, Job, Heman, and all the Saints prized it?
A43579How know you but death is at the next door?
A43579How long must the Lord wait for your sensible lamentings?
A43579How long shall intangling Orders for decency rend the bowels of thy Church?
A43579How long shall the pride and wrath of men make and blow up that spark into a flame, that Satan the great make- bait casts among them?
A43579How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
A43579How long will it be ere you attain to innocency?
A43579How many Ahabs hate Micaiah''s, or Felix''s?
A43579How shall I deliver thee Israel?
A43579How shall I give thee up Ephraim?
A43579How shall I make thee as Admah?
A43579How?
A43579However, you may stay him with your own Souls; Is that nothing?
A43579I answer as Cleophas, Art thou only, a stranger in Jerusalem[ in England] and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
A43579I hearkened and heard saith God, but they spake not aright: What was that?
A43579I may be deceived and misled into by- ways of errour?
A43579I profess my self to be a Member of that Mystical Body the Church, and how can a Member rejoyce when the whole Body mourns?
A43579If Christ stay not where''s the Church?
A43579If God help us, will not this turn to your advantage?
A43579If it be answered, no, he''s gone in whole or in part, what''s then left that''s good?
A43579If the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us?
A43579If the touching of one String of an Instrument make the rest move, how can I forbear a sad Eccho to the Church''s mournful Elegy?
A43579If you ask what things?
A43579Is Ephraim my dear Son?
A43579Is it not rather, ground of the greatest lamentatation, as a prologue, and pledge of damnation, and a token of rejection?
A43579Is it not time to seek God till he come and Rain Righteousness upon us?
A43579Is not God bringing our iniquities upon us?
A43579Is not God much withdrawn from the hearts of his People?
A43579Is not Manasse ● against Ephraim, and Ephraim against Manasseh, and they together against Judah?
A43579Is not converting grace much withdrawn from the Ordinances of God?
A43579Is not our God worth lamenting after?
A43579Is not restraining grace much gone from amongst us?
A43579Is not the God of Ordinances much removed from amongst us?
A43579Is not the accursed thing to be found amongst us to this day?
A43579Is not the liberty that some take in their dispensing Ordinances under many disadvantages?
A43579Is there no Rod strong enough for bearing such a weight?
A43579Is there not a cause?
A43579Is there not excellent Preaching in Publick Places?
A43579Is there not in them, even in them, sins enow to weaken and evacuate their own Prayers?
A43579Is there not much pride, worldliness, decay of love to God, abating spiritual zeal for God, such as was in the daies of old?
A43579Is there to be sound that entireness, singleness, faithfulness amongst God''s People to each other as in former daies?
A43579It doth concern all Converts, and such as turn from transgression in Jacob; and am not I one of these?
A43579It''s well so, for when people stand still, pose themselves, what have we been doing?
A43579Let Ministers and People, lay their hand on their heart, and search our Consciences& Conversations?
A43579Let us fall close to our work of Preaching, reforming, praying, calling God again; who knows but if we mourn to our People but they may lament?
A43579Little reason have any to make this ado in lamenting: What cause have you to lament?
A43579Look down from Heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy Holiness, and of thy Glory: Shall the needy alwaies be forgotten?
A43579Lord, art not thou in the midst of us?
A43579Lord, when shall Conscience- racking Oaths be broken?
A43579May he not say, Go to the gods and lusts which you have served, gratified?
A43579May not the poor wise man deliver the City?
A43579May we also pass through this Valley of Bacah( or weeping) and make a Well?
A43579Ministers cry out, Who hath believed our Report?
A43579Must they and we meet in Hell?
A43579Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us?
A43579Oh that more might knock at our doors with a[ What must I do to be saved?]
A43579Oh that this work were set forward?
A43579Oh what a day will that be?
A43579Oh when sickness, diseases, death, thy own conscience make war against thee, and thou hast no God to flee to what a sad case wilt thou be in?
A43579Once more; Is there no cause for Gods Children to lament after the Lord for his return to their Spirits?
A43579Or, Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me; And is this nothing?
A43579Shall a poor Idolatrous Micah cry out after his Teraphim?
A43579Shall not Children cry and long for the sincere milk of the word that they may grow thereby?
A43579Shall not her dewy Eyes cause mine Eyes to water?
A43579Such as study Gods interest, have the Lord to study their interest?
A43579Tell me, deal ingenuously and candidly in the case; Have not your Souls been ready to pine for want of provision?
A43579The Old Puritan- Spirit is gone; we are wofully degenerated: Professors are grown like the world: How unlike are we to Primitive Saints?
A43579The full stomach loaths the honey- comb, but to the hungry Soul every bitter thing is Sweet: Oh what pantings?
A43579This is no controverted Point, but a granted duty on all hands, I am persuading to: Who dare contradict it?
A43579To whom will ye flee for help, and where will ye leave your glory?
A43579We have been long in the fire, but are we cleansed?
A43579We have conversed about our Farms, Oxen, Sheep, Trades together, shall we not at last begin to converse with each other as Christians?
A43579We looked for much, and loe it came to little, and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it[ or blow it away;] why?
A43579What Providences were produced to settle Ordinances?
A43579What advantage hath the Jew?
A43579What can an Angel do?
A43579What envy hath excluding others begot in these cases?
A43579What exceptions can any bring against this, of lamenting after the Lord?
A43579What should God''s Children do, were it not for this priviledge of praying?
A43579What think you?
A43579What want you from Ordinances, that the Alsufficient God can not supply you with?
A43579What wantest thou?
A43579What will become of such as are born in sin, if they want means of Conviction and Conversion?
A43579What''s become of that sighing frame of heart, that Spirit of Adoption, that God''s Children of old were indued with?
A43579What''s meant by the Ark here?
A43579What''s meant by the Arks being in Aibnadab''s house in Kirjath- jearim?
A43579What''s the matter with thee?
A43579What''s the reason then that God is not quite gone?
A43579When at last will God raise up some awakening Samuel, that shall sound the Alarum in the Ears of all Israel?
A43579When he reflects on himself& and finds it so, will he not see sad cause to lament?
A43579When shall Aaron''s Rod bring forth ripe Almonds?
A43579When shall Subscription to Christ''s Laws suffice?
A43579When that sad Plague of Sweating Sickness was here in England, how much were proud Nobles in seeming love with faithful Ministers?
A43579When will men see the hand of Joab is in all this?
A43579Where are the Souls that stir up themselves to take hold of a withdrawing God?
A43579Where are those genuine workings of Child- like bowels after such a Father?
A43579Where is the Lord God of Elijah?
A43579Where is there a Moses, to hold up his hands, a Joshua to fall at God''s feet, a Phinehas to execute Justice?
A43579Where shall we find Elijah''s Spirit doubled on succeeding Elisha?
A43579Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him?
A43579Who must hold him if you will not?
A43579Who would have once imagined that such a Spirit of worldliness, security neutrality would have seized on Gods own Children?
A43579Who would have thought that God himself or the tokens of his presence should go from you without weeping eyes, or mournful complaints?
A43579Who would not follow after such a God with prayers, tears, groans, and hearty lamentations, that he would return to us, continue with us?
A43579Why did they not send it to Shilo where it was before?
A43579Why halt ye between two Opinions?
A43579Why may not we also work hard in these Sacred Wells of Ordinances?
A43579Why were not they of Kiriath jearim afraid of Bethshemesh''s punishment?
A43579Why?
A43579Will any but Mad men rejoyce at the approach of calamity, upon themselves?
A43579Will even careless women lament at last for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine?
A43579Yea among our selves, Is there not some that are indifferent whether the Ark or Mass, Gospel- preaching, or dumb Idols take place?
A43579Yea, hath not God seemed to take Peace from the Earth?
A43579Yea, have you not been tempted to loath some dishes handed to you by blind or Slovenly Cooks?
A43579Yea, who dare dispute it?
A43579Yea, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the Land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?
A43579You''l say, What''s all this Canting for?
A43579and discern at last that among all these contending Clients, none is gainer but that common Barreter?
A43579and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?
A43579and where be all his Miracles which our Fathers told us of?
A43579but where''s our real longing to enjoy the Lord in his Ordinances?
A43579certainly the Lord comes and goes as if he were loth to punish us, and is not this a very great incouragement to us to lament after him?
A43579cryed they, one to another, Brother, Neighbour, do not you hear these heavy Tydings?
A43579either the God of Ordinances, or the Ordinances of God?
A43579have we done well or ill?
A43579have you been so long cast out of Gods publick Work and Worship, even twenty long years, and have you not yet leavned to lament?
A43579he said, Ye have taken away my Gods — and what have I more?
A43579how few gleanings hath our dear Lord, compared with the full Vintage Satan gets among men?
A43579how glad were they of advice from them?
A43579how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem, and on the Cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
A43579how sad would this be to deprive our Posterity of this Gospel- Legacy?
A43579intimating that it had met with a stop; by what?
A43579is life gone, and I dead still?
A43579say they, doth God take his leave?
A43579shall our Master cashie us his service, and not judg us worthy to blow our triumpets of Rams horns, break a pitcher, or hold the lamps for him?
A43579shall the expectation of the Poor perish for ever?
A43579shall we be that cursed Generation that must again be involved in worse than Aegyptian darkness?

A43579then what is?
A43579they for non- improvement, we for non- enjoyment?
A43579to dwell in your cieled Houses, and this House lye waste?
A43579we that have Children, have been Instruments to propagate filth, and guilt, and wrath to our Off- spring, and what can we do to heal and help them?
A43579what course is best to be taken?
A43579what then will become of these, when such helps are gone?
A43579what''s my danger to Zion''s damage?
A43579when shall I see thee wholly decourted, and Christ wholly put in thy room?
A43579when shall it once be?
A43579when shall our Souls lament after God to purpose?
A43579when shall we awake out of our long sleep?
A43579when shall we see our need of God in his Ordinances?
A43579when these are lost, we must sadly sigh and say, What have our Forefathers been doing that they have deprived us of the Means of our Souls good?
A43579where is that antient serious Spirit of lamenting after the Lord?
A43579who shall live when God doth this?
A43579who will that hath elsewhere to go?
A43579who would not have an hand in bringing back the King, such a King as by his presence can make us truly and eternally happy?
A43579will he depart, and not go with us, but substitute an Angel in his room?

A55226( as if they should say though the bread or things that we offer be polluted, yet what pollution or dishonor doth thence arise to thee?)
A55226( or according to the other way, whereby have we attributed to him weariness or impotency?)
A5522610 Have we not all one Father?
A5522610 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought?
A5522610. make one?
A5522613 Ye said also, behold, what a weariness is it?
A5522613 ¶ Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord: yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
A5522614 Yet ye say, wherefore?
A5522615 And did not he make one?
A5522617 ¶ Ye have wearied the Lord with your words: yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him?
A552262 But who may abide the day of his coming?
A552262 ly, That of the Greek, will a man supplant God?
A552267 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine Altar, and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee?
A552268 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil?
A552269 And now I pray you, beseech God, that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons?
A55226A learned x man, who doth not farther follow it, yet if the words be so rendred, did not one make?
A55226A man therefore he is taken to be; but who is that man?
A55226Aben Ezra thus, Because ye say, How shall we give with a good eye( or cheerfully) out of this little?
A55226And 3 ly of the Chalde, will a man provoke a Judge to anger?
A55226And did not he make one?
A55226And if it were but one alone among you, I would ask him what he did seek by this marriage?
A55226And if so, why doth one, who is in marriage, seek to find occasions against his wife, which is coupled to him, and which is the Seed of God?
A55226And if you offer the blind for Sacrifice, is it not evil?]
A55226And seekest thou great things for thy self?
A55226And shall I accept this of your hands, the Sacrifice being illegal, shall I accept the meat offering brought with it?
A55226And this being granted, these two Translations, will a man rob God?

A55226But how then doth what he subjoins, therefore,( or and) ye sons of Jacob are not consumed?
A55226But what is there in the words, that may be a ground for this supposition, and supply of the sense?
A55226But what offerings are then to be understood?
A55226But ye said, wherein shall we return?]
A55226Do ye not know that it is not fit that a man should rob his God?
A55226Do you not hereby manifestly profess your opinion that the Table of the Lord is contemtible?
A55226For he made not one alone, and abundance of the spirit is with him: and why, or to what purpose, should he have made one seeking a Seed of God?
A55226For if by my face be here meant that Christ is the face of God, who then shall be there understood by thy face?
A55226For if none can think of it by reason of the power or dreadfulness of his Majesty, who shall be able to abide or bear it?
A55226For what end?
A55226For what is it else but blasphemously to accuse God speaking by his Prophets of falsehood?
A55226Hath not one God created us?]
A55226Have we not all one father?
A55226He adds therefore, 6 ¶ A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master, If then I be a father, where is mine honour?
A55226If they shall be ready to ask as before, wherein have we profaned it?
A55226If ye say, what have we spoken against thee?
A55226In that they had all one Father, were of one kindred and Family, have we not all one Father?
A55226None doth this, y who hath any thing at all of the spirit of God remaining in him, and how should any do it, who seeks a Seed of God?
A55226Or, excellency] of the spirit, and wherefore one?
A55226Ought a man to snatch( or take away by rapine) those things that are Gods?
A55226Posito hoc fundamento, quis Regi è Josephi posteris locu ●?

A55226Quis unquam Prophetarum verba tam misere torsit, vel tam impudenter prostituit?

A55226Siquidem in captivitatem nos egit propter peccata: cumque diu jam extorres fuerimus, nec paenitentiam egerimus, nos nondum idoneos factos reducet?
A55226So saith he, Offer it now to thy Governor, will he be pleased with thee?
A55226So that you may say, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wrath with all the Congregation?
A55226The Question as in their person put, wherein, have we polluted thee?
A55226The import of these words is by b some here given( as of like expressions before in this Prophet) if ye shall say wherein shall we return?

A70812( How many speake so of this most necessary defence, which their owne Consciences still tell them is the Command of God?)
A70812( every one that will say so) How then shall your Armies be made up?
A70812( not to speake of many of our frowardnesses, when our selves only are in fault) and even visibly manifest Vnbeleefe and Distrust?
A7081212, 13, 14. Who is the wise man that may understand this?
A7081221, I will send a sward among you, to avenge the quarrell of my Covenant?
A70812Adding hereunto the latter part of the sixth verse, Wherefore should GOD be angry with thee and destroy the work of thy hands?
A70812And afterward, how ill can we endure to have any complaint against them, when yet there is all the reason in the world to complaine?
A70812And doe we not see the like in the other Sacrament?
A70812And forgettest the LORD thy Maker?
A70812And have not we our selves found somewhat like this, more then once?
A70812And how can these then be tolerated without Breach of Covenant?
A70812And if He take vengeance upon their sins, even as theirs, shall not we be enwrapped in the mischief of in?
A70812And if the Righteous shall scarcely be saved where shall the Vngodly and the Sinner appeare?
A70812And if they should now conquer for us, what shall we doe with them afterward?
A70812And indeed doe we not very often thinke this excuse enough for us; that the generall Sway of people goes thus, and they will have it so and so?
A70812And is not Anabaptisma, at least as, maintain''d by divers, Schisme, and contrary to sound Doctrine?
A70812And then that in the second place, Enquiry should be made for what Speciall Provocations it is that there are such heavy Judgements on the Land?
A70812And what Idolater, or seduced Prophet, might not( or may not) plead his Conscience?
A70812And what is this but want of Faith in GOD?
A70812And why should not we looke for the like, if we were as Zealous for GOD, and trusted as much in GOD, as he?
A70812Are mens matters worthy more regard then GODS?
A70812Are not here fearefull inventions for Him to take vengeance upon?
A70812Are not many apparently worse then they were wo nt to be?
A70812Behold the Righteous shall be recompensed in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner?
A70812But I pray, judge but in a few Instances, whether all pretence of Conscience ought to be a sufficient plea for Toleration and Liberty?
A70812But how is the case altered if it prove to be a child or a kinsman, a friend or even but a servant?
A70812But how will GOD take this at our hands, doe we thinke?
A70812But specially how did GOD take it at Elies hand, though a good man?
A70812Can this be possible, that from a heart so calmed and setled in Faith and Joy, such a suddaine storme should arise of monstrous and horrid impatience?
A70812Doe we intend to keepe them in order then?
A70812Doe we not often take it very hainously, that men should find any fault with such?
A70812Goe but into any place, and what is the great businesse that you find every one almost set upon?
A70812How doe we shrinke, and draw back, and make excuses when we fore- see any difficulty more then ordinary in the imployment?
A70812How doth our affection oft commend them to places of Imployment and Trust, beyond their abilities or merit?
A70812How excellent an Example and Encouragement doe we again find recorded concerning him in the next Chapter, the two last verses?
A70812How few are there of us, that can afford to venture upon undertakings that are like to provoke the wrath of men, specially great men, against us?
A70812How low had our sins brought us the last yeere about this time?
A70812How many Errors, and strange opinions are there to be found even among such as are all pretenders to the way of Truth?
A70812I beseech you, if GOD will have it to be unalterable,( as He will if His Word tell us so much) shall we dare to say, We will not have it so?
A70812If any say, Their Conscience allowes them not to Contribute to your Just and Necessary Defence, shall they be allowed this Liberty?
A70812If any say, these all, or most of them, are belonging to the Second Table, and the Liberty pleaded for, is onely in matters of the First Table?
A70812If any shall say, But would not GOD have a Multitude forborne, if they be in an Errour, or Disorder?
A70812If others say, their Consciences allow not them to beare Armes for you, shall they have altogether their Liberty?
A70812If these things be done in the greene Tree, what shall be done in the Dry?
A70812In a word, what outrage of wickednesse is there that we have not just cause to beleeve to be too ordinary among our people?
A70812Is it not for this that GOD hath put the sword of Justice into your hands?
A70812Is not this the quarrell of the warre, because Delinquents are protected against the hand of Justice?
A70812Is there not much selfe- seeking apparant in all kind of undertakings?
A70812Is this the fruit of our Covenant?
A70812Is this, think we, the amendment that GOD lookes for at our hands?
A70812Let us therefore looke what we have done all of us in pursuit of our Covenant?
A70812May not a Multitude be forborne in Errour?
A70812Now is there not among us a great deale of guilt in this kind?
A70812Now what was that which made him doe thus?
A70812Or can you, without destraying all bonds of Civill Converse, and wholly overthrow of all Humane Judicature?
A70812Or may We endure them, without His displeasure against our selves?
A70812Or what Bounds or Limits can there be set to men any way, if this opinion of Liberty of Conscience, as it is pleaded for, shall be admitted?
A70812Or who can almost find in his heart to engage himselfe in a taske, whose certainest wages from men is like to be displeasure and rage?
A70812Propriety of goods: Will you afford them their Liberty herein?
A70812Specially when men deale perversely with us?
A70812Table( Idolatries, Blasphemies, Heresies,& c.) then in those against the second?
A70812Table, then against the second?
A70812There be those that say their Conscience is against all taking of an Oath before a Magistrate?
A70812Was this the meaning of any in this particular, to promise enough, but intend to performe nothing?
A70812Weepe for your selves and for your children, for if these things be done in the greene tree, what shall be done in the dry?
A70812What shall GOD doe with us, if all these things will not amend us?
A70812What should I speake of Oathes, Cursings and Blasphemies?
A70812What we have neglected?
A70812What would become then of all your own Authority, and of all Lawes, and Liberties of the Kingdome?
A70812Where then will your Armies be paid?
A70812Will Christ, I say, endure these things?
A70812Will you allow an Vniversall Liberty of this?
A70812Would you know who they are?
A70812Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination and ye defile every one his neighbours wife, and shall ye possesse the Land?
A70812You eate with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your Idols and shedde blood, and shall ye possesse the Land?
A70812You thus and thus misbehave your selves, and shall you have peace?
A70812ambitious putting themselves forward, and practises to make themselves rich, by every imployment?
A70812and even upon some parts of our owne Kingdome and Nation?
A70812and frequently cry that things grow every day worse and worse; and that we are not able to abide it if it continue thus with us but a while longer?
A70812and how little doe we usually tremble at the hearing of them?
A70812and however, is it not apparently most contrary to the Power of Godlinesse?
A70812and in stead thereof to have our spirits ensnared( enslaved) with the Feare of Men?
A70812and possibly even to be their Agents and Instruments to doe very badde Acts for them and with them?
A70812and prove corruptors of others, that now seeme to be of a better temper?
A70812and so purposed, and practised from time to time?
A70812and tell Him they meane nothing lesse then to be humbled in heart before Him?
A70812and the Church of GOD peaceably setled in a holy Reformation?
A70812and upon this Venture upon Actions which GOD hath not allowed us?
A70812and what we are yet a doing?
A70812and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it?
A70812how partiall are we to those that are our own?
A70812or at least now are they at liberty to doe nothing of what they have so solemnely and sacredly promised and sworne?
A70812or delayed?
A70812or how did GOD take it at Samuels hands, that he was so partiall to his sons, as hath been noted?
A70812or suffer them to plead that they have merited an exemption from all restraint of their licentiousnesse?
A70812or that such and such thinke or speake so as well as we, and gave us the example before we ventured upon it?
A70812shall you have setling?
A70812shall you possesse the Land?
A70812that for One Achan not sought out, Israels Army was overthrowne?
A70812that the pretence of Conscience shall claime a Liberty in that which concernes GODS Honour, and not in that which concernes men?
A70812when none is with us, but GOD and our own consciences?
A70812when women dare come hither with their bare breasts, and spotted faces, and garish apparell, is not this as it were to outface GOD?

A76561And shall the adversary thus alwayes blaspheme thy Name?

A76561And shall thy fervent jealousie burn, like unto a flame?
A76561And that his tender mercies He hath shut up in his wrath?

A76561And thy most perfect righteousnesse, O Lord, is very high, Who hast so great things done: O God, who is like unto Thee?
A76561And wherefore hidest thou thy self, when times so troublous are?
A76561And wherefore was it, little hills, that ye did leap like lambs?
A76561And why, with vexing thoughts, art thou disquieted in me?
A76561And wilt not thou, ev''n thou, O God, forth with our armies go?
A76561Because of thee in death there shall no more remembrance be: Of those that in the grave do ly, who shall give thanks to thee?
A76561Because those that deceased are, Of thee shall no remembrance have: And who is he that will to thee Give praises lying in the grave?
A76561Behold, He smote the rock, and thence came streams and waters great; But can He give His people bread?
A76561Behold, they belch out with their mouth; and in their lips are swords: For they do say thus, who is he that now doth hear our words?

A76561why, thus with grief opprest, Art thou disquieted in me?
A76561wilt thou hide thy self for ever in thine ire?
A76561wilt thou still keep the same?
A9026612. Who art thou, O great Mountaine?
A9026621. which the Prophet also admires in the forecited Psalme: the Sea saw it and fled: what ayledst thou, O thou Sea that thou fledst?
A902664, 5?
A902666. f In caelo non in terramercedem promisit reddendam: quid alibi poscisquod alibi debitur?
A902667, 8, 9?
A902669. and when that is done, who shall keep bound what God will loose?
A90266Again was thine Anger?
A90266Against the Rivers or Flouds?
A90266Are not the severall tunes, of mercy and judgement in these songs?
A90266Are their souls think you more precicious to you then themselves?
A90266Are thy lusts like the streames of Jordan, yet they runne back from his Chariots of salvation?
A90266Art not thou it that dried the sea, the waters of the great deep, that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to passe over?
A90266Because a womans time is come, therefore shall she have no midwife?

A90266Can a servant do his masters work, without knowing his pleasure?
A90266Can a woman forget her child, that she should not have compassion on the sonne of her wombe?
A90266Did the people receive no other refreshment, but only in respect of their bodily thirst?
A90266Do you not then fight against God, wound Jesus Christ, and prosecute him as an evil doer?
A90266Do you think if our Armies had not walked in a troden path they could have made such journeys as they have done of late?
A90266Friend art thou stronger then Horeb, yet that trembled at the presence of this mighty God, whom it never had provoked?
A90266God is ingaged to his people for all their injoyments, and will he quietly suffer himselfe to be robbed and his people spoyled?
A90266God( saith the Apostle) hath delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver, now what conclusion makes he of this experience?
A90266Had not this mighty all- commanding God been with us, where had we been in the late tumults?
A90266Hast thou not known?
A90266Hath not all hold of promises in time of triall given place to temptations, untill you have fallen down in All- sufficiency, and their found peace?
A90266Have none of us skill to lay up the last eminent deliverance against a rainy day?
A90266Have we not seen this end of many Zelots?
A90266Have we seene nothing of this in our days?
A90266Have your souls in spirituall trials never bin driven from all your outworks, unto this main fort?
A90266He appeares not unto me, how can they go upon his Imployment?
A90266He did deliver me from the mouth of the Lyon:( Nero that Lion- like tyrant) and what then?
A90266How came it to passe that we were not swallowed up by them?
A90266How doe''s David run them over with admiration, closing every stop with, His mercy endureth for ever?
A90266How many Psalmes have wee that are taken up in setting forth Gods breaking, yoking, befooling, terrifying his Adversaries at such a season?
A90266If God appeares not in light, who can expect he should appeare in operation?
A90266If God call Israel out of Egypt to serve him, shall Pharaoh assigne who, and how they shall go, First men onely, then all without their cattel?
A90266If a man hath ingaged himselfe to give a Jewell to a deare friend, will he take it patiently to have an enemy come and snatch it away before his face?
A90266If he hath given Seir to Edom, what doth he vexing and wasting Jacob?
A90266If the Lion roars, who can but fear?
A90266Is it for any of you, O ye sons of men, to measure out Gods childrens portion, long since bequeathed them by Christ?
A90266Is it not for touching these forbidden things?
A90266Is it not from hence, that nothing can stand against the breakingout of a promise, in its appointed season?
A90266Is it not so in our days?
A90266Is it not worth the while to consider how they were restrained?
A90266Is not the wasting of the Westerne Nations, at this day from hence, that they have served the whore to deck her selfe, with the spoyles of the spouse?
A90266Is not this written also for their instruction, who have no skill in Hebrew Songs?
A90266Is the Sea against them?
A90266Is there nothing but flints in this Rock?
A90266Lord, what are we, and what is our house that thou shouldest doe such things for us?
A90266No Seas divided?
A90266Nothing of Goodnesse that after so long waiting for Advantage, they begin themselves to think, that neither Divination nor Inchantment will prevaile?
A90266Nothing of power in their restraint?
A90266Nothing of wisdome in the selfe- punishment of their anxious thoughts?
A90266Now being thus advantaged, thus incouraged, thus provoked, and resolved, why did they not attempt it, why did they not accomplish their Desires?
A90266Now if all these should be kept from us at that distance wherein they fall in their accomplishment in respect of time, what would they availe us?
A90266O what a catalogue of mercies, hath this Nation to plead by in a time of trouble?
A90266Serm 50. g Si Tanti vitrum quanti Margaritum?
A90266Shall a Lyon tremble and thou not afraid, who art ready to tremble with a thought of that poore creature?
A90266Shall all creatures quake for the sin of man, and sinfull man be secure?
A90266Shall others dwell quietly in the Land which he hath measured for his own?
A90266Shall the Heavens bow, the deepe begge for mercy, and thou be senselesse?
A90266Shall they not possesse what the Lord their God gives them to possesse?
A90266Should the Lord entrust his people with a continued stock of mercy, perhaps they would be full and deny him, and say who is the Lord?
A90266Should you now smite them?
A90266Such mighty works attend the Israelites, what thinkes Midian will be the end of this?
A90266The chiefe Priests and Pharisees, having gotten the Apostles before them, what big words they use to countenance the businesse?
A90266Thinke you, will God let his people want that which they have absolute necessity of?
A90266To be answered in righteousnesse, what sweeter mercy in the World?
A90266Upon all Gods appearances with the Apostles, how were the Jews cut to the heart, vexed, perplexed?
A90266VVas not his Justice exalted, in keeping them onely for the pit which they had digged for others?
A90266Was not one main end of the late tumults, to rob Gods people of their priviledges, to bring them again under the yoke of superstition?
A90266Was not this Rock, a signe of that Rock of Ages on which the Church is built?
A90266Was the Lord displeased against the Rivers?
A90266Was the Lord displeased against the Rivers?
A90266Was the Lord displeased{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman} kindled, did he burne?

A90266What God brake in warre, do not think he will prosper in Peace?
A90266What aylest thou O Jordan that thou wast driven back?
A90266What creature hath not this mighty God used against his enemies?
A90266What is the reason, that so many in our days, set their hands to the plow, and looke back againe?
A90266What shall wee say to these things, If the Lord be for us, who shall be against us?
A90266What though wee had no Army in the time of war?
A90266Whence is it, that he hath now the necks of his enemies, and hath given any of them their lives at their intreaty?
A90266Who can stand before him, qui tot imperat legionibus?
A90266Who hath not with joy delight and raysed affections, gone over the old preservations of the Church in former years?
A90266Who would not feare this King of Nations?
A90266Why he will so doe?
A90266Will a tender Father thinke you, contentedly looke on, and see a slave snatch away his childrens bread?
A90266and whereunto will this grow?
A90266begin to serve providence in great things, but can not finish?
A90266casting down of mighty ones, reviving of Dead bones, opening of prison- doores, bringing out the captive appointed to be slaine?
A90266doth he bring them forth to burne the whore, to fight with the Beast and overcome him, and his followers?
A90266g Shall men remove his bounds, and land- markes, and be free?
A90266greater Armies then this, have bin buried under lesser walles; did not the number of the besieged at first, exceed the number of the besiegers?
A90266hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creatour of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?
A90266is not here Affliction and deliverance, desertion and recovery, darkenesse and light, in this variously?
A90266is not the day of those factious Independents come?
A90266it shall be parted; Is Jordan in the way?
A90266know you not that the time is comming wherein such men will desire the trembling Rockes, to be a covert to their more affrighted soules?
A90266no Hills made to tremble?
A90266no Jordans driven back?
A90266no Mountaines revelled?
A90266nothing but the Rod of Moses in the blowes given to it?
A90266nothing but water in these streames?
A90266shall they not divide the prey?
A90266so many thousands in Kent, so many in Wales, so many in the North, so many in Essex, shall they not speed?
A90266speak blood, is that the way of Jesus Christ?
A90266their skill in war amongst men of their own perswasion, famous and renowned?
A90266thy troubling anger( so the word) against the Sea?
A90266was his Anger against the Walls and Houses, that he rode upon his Horses and Chariots of Salvation?
A90266was the Lord displeased with the Rivers?
A90266was thine anger against the Rivers?
A90266was thine anger against the Rivers?
A90266was thy wrath against the Sea, that thou diddest ride upon thy Horses and thy Chariots of salvation?
A90266was thy wrath against the Sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses, and thy charets of salvation?
A90266were not their Advantages great?
A90266what strong mighty impression of power was on thee, that the multitudes of thy waters should be parted, and thy chanell discovered dry to the bottome?
A90266whence then was the late confusion of Armies?
A90266who gave you this power?
A90266will he not plead his Action with power?
A90266will it be easy and cheape?
A90266will it be safe trespassing upon the Lands of the Almighty?
A4114212.39, 40. could they excuse themselves for their can not?
A4114223. have I any pleasure, I appeale to all your consciences, have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should dye?
A41142A servant can not live except it be his Masters pleasure to take pitty on him; Is this any pretence to him to anger his Master?
A41142Adam fell and his poor posterity smart for it, if God will needs damne us he may, we have no power for to help it, for who hath resisted his Will?
A41142Ah thou wretch thou, thy blood lies on thine owne head; why then dost thou not now put thy selfe forth?
A41142Alas I am very dead- hearted sayst thou; nay, but O man the time was when God quickned thee at a Sermon, why didst thou let it decay?
A41142Alas he was not able to answer, oh Sir I could not do otherwise?
A41142And that yee have omitted many a good opportunity, that by the grace of God yee might have made use of?
A41142And the Levits came to him, from Jeroboam, so long hee was pleased, and then hee was religious, but afterwards not; and why not afterwards too?
A41142And therefore every little cold shall serve for an excuse; So why art thou slothfull to count every petty difficulty a can not?
A41142And therefore hee had mercy to resist, nay and wisdome one would thinke to resist too, what a wilfull foole?
A41142And therefore it is in thee, why then wilt thou not put thy selfe forth?
A41142And therefore this same copulative will is nothing but a mockery, and the truth still is this thou wilt not?
A41142And what excuse hast thou hence?
A41142And what have riches and meanes advantaged us?
A41142And wilt thou lay the blame upon God?
A41142Are the lusts of anger and wrath predominant in thee?
A41142As Christ told Jerusalem, I would, but you would not; what followes?
A41142As if he should say, would you faine stay?
A41142As the King of Nineveh said, le ts cry mightily to God; le ts cast away these and these sinnes, who knowes if God will turne and repent?
A41142Be vext then with thy wicked will, what a madde man am I?
A41142Before thou didst promise,''t was in thy power whether thou wouldst promise or no; did any force thee to promise?
A41142Bernard sayes such a one is a perverse man, that God is feigne to say to, quid faciam tibi?
A41142But what can yee do?
A41142But why canst thou not prevent it with counsell and deliberation?
A41142By appealing to their consciences, have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should dye saith the Lord?
A41142By retorting, heare now O house of Jsrael is not my way equall?
A41142By what meanes may I go up to London?
A41142Can not cast him out?
A41142Canst thou not be holy, and saved, except he be pleased to pitty thee?
A41142Canst thou not shed teares for thy sinnes?
A41142Canst thou not spare an houre every day for private Prayer unto God, sometime for to meditate and belabour thy heart?
A41142Canst thou not tell how to glorify God?
A41142Canst thou not use these and these meanes, I appoint thee?
A41142Christ hath not told thee any thing to the contrary, but only he bids thee do what thou canst; canst thou not cut off thy long haire?
A41142Couple light and darknesse?
A41142Despaire?
A41142Do not ye confesse it with shame that you have given way to sundry temptations that by the grace of God yee might have overcome?
A41142Dost thou lay the blame upon nature, my nature is more subject to choler, and wrath?
A41142Dost thou not know that judgement is past upon all to damnation?
A41142Dost thou say I would obey Christ, and J would deny selfe, why then dost thou not command thy Clerke for to writ it?
A41142Dost thou walke in these wayes and hope to finde good?
A41142Fifthly, your destruction is pittilesse; what eye can pitty you?
A41142First, Is it not enough that thou hast willingly fallen in Adam, but thou must willingly stand out againe?
A41142First, because God doth complaine against the wicked for the voluntary doing no more good then they doe; what so much preaching and no more good?
A41142First, then why dost thou not see thy case to be damnable?
A41142For it s hee that disposeth of mens natures; and therefore, thou takest part with those wretches that said, why hast thou made mee thus?
A41142For what hast thou that thou hast not received?
A41142God forbid?
A41142God hath given thee good memory, how hast thou stuft it?
A41142God now calls thee to meanes of grace, thou hast stood out once all ready, and wilt thou be wilfull to stand out againe?
A41142Gods displeasure is greater then the Kings?
A41142Hast thou not power over thine owne outward members vouchsaf''d thee of God?
A41142He would not let the children of Israel goe: thy will nots these are they that harden thy heart; doest thou complaine of the hardnesse of thy heart?
A41142Hence it is that the whoremaster he can plead, did not David commit adultery too?
A41142How dost thou desire to be edified, when thou wilt not stir out two or three miles to be edifyed?
A41142How is it that I heare this of thee?
A41142How long wilt thou?
A41142How may I get faith, and be lead by the spirit?
A41142How often would I have gathered thee together even as the Hen gathereth her chickens but thou wouldest not?
A41142I am naked sayes Adam, and who tould thee that thou wert naked?
A41142I answer thee, who can tell best what is in thee, God or thine owne heart?
A41142I be stubborne against the Commandements of God?
A41142I can not abide it; what never helpe my selfe at a dead lift by telling a lie?
A41142I can not be a Saint, Lord help me to mercy,& c. Yea but what canst thou do?
A41142I can not do as I would sayst thou; No; why then art thou slothfull, to make more imaginary cannots?
A41142I can not go about my worke sayes hee; and who bad him be so idle as not to go about it, when he might?
A41142I can not profit by hearing, nor profit by praying,& c. Thou canst not say so; for why dost thou not labour?
A41142I can not repent and I can not give over my sinnes sayest thou, and I pray thee who told thee that thou canst not?
A41142I can not saith hee repent, nor be such a new creature as you talke of; Why then wilt thou not use the meanes?
A41142I can not turne mine owne heart, nor breake mine own heart; but why then art thou slothfull to make every little diffiuclty a can not?
A41142I could not do thus, and I could not do that; where are my goods that I lent thee?
A41142I do not know how; No?
A41142I hate the Saints of God?
A41142I know this is not enough; but what of that?
A41142I say the the first question Christ askes thee is, what canst thou do?
A41142I say this will strike you all dumbe before God at the last day; why would you not put you selves forth?
A41142I shall be prickt, I can not get over it; what?
A41142I was not able to do better, quo ore potes hoc dicere?
A41142I would sayd God, but you would not; nay how often would I but you would not?
A41142I''le never hate them while I live; and yet come to this Saint and that Saint; him thou wilt hate; him?
A41142If his Bed were the Plough, and his Pillow the Teeme, hee would then drive it well?
A41142If thy lusts be on fire why dost thou feede them with fuell?
A41142In the fifth place, to you that stand out in your wilfullnesse still; is it so that yee sticke at a will not?
A41142In the third place, is it so, that the reason why thou dost not amend, is not because thou canst not, but onely because thou wilt not?
A41142Is it because I am swift to revenge?
A41142Is it because I will destroy you for Ahaz or Manasses, or Zedekiahs, or Adams sinne?
A41142Is it because ye have no Saviour?
A41142Is it because ye have no power?
A41142Is it not enough that thou hast willingly fallen in Adam, but thou must willingly stand out again?
A41142Is it this labour for grace and He ● v ● a, when thou laborest so id ● ely?
A41142It s true God doth not give them power to believe, and to be renewed; but can they say though I wouldse riously, God would not?
A41142Nay how dost thou know but when thou goest about it, thou mayest meet with, though some power?
A41142No not use the meanes for to do it?
A41142No the Lord had set them in the stocks for their wilfullnesse and security?
A41142No, thou wilt not, canst thou not do this that God bids thee at least out of feare?
A41142No; The meate standeth before him; because hee hath not any hands?
A41142No?
A41142No?
A41142No?
A41142Now hee le be spoken with, if you wilt come hither; What not erect his feare up in his family?
A41142O Ephraim what shall I do unto thee?
A41142O what infinite reason hast thou to be humbled, that despisest the Lord?
A41142O what infinite reason hath the Lord to correct us, every one of us all?
A41142Oathes why dost thou not club downe thy lusts with argument upon argument?
A41142Oh beloved, this same point will strike the World dumbe before God, even this, why did yee not put your selves forth to the uttmost?
A41142Oh then let us stirre up our selves, shall we sinne against gospel?
A41142Oh thou wicked and sloathfull servant,& c. Why didst thou not trade with the Talent that J gave thee?
A41142Peter saith to Ananias why hath Satan filled thy heart to ly to the holy Ghost, to keepe back part of the price of the Land?
A41142Quid agit liberum arbitrium?
A41142Quis poterit?
A41142Secondly, but I can not sayst thou; why then wilt thou not dispaire in thy selfe?
A41142Sloth is a voluntary fault of the will; How long wilt thou sleep O sluggard?
A41142So God is very reasonable in his anger; wilt thou not use the meanes to be quickned?
A41142So Lord, how if they will not?
A41142So dost thou say, I can not do thus and thus; why then art thou slothfull to imagine more cannots, and Thorne hedges then there are?
A41142So may I say who told thee thou canst not?
A41142So may I say, is your willing apostacy in Adam too little for you, from the which yee are not cleansed to this day?
A41142So the first question he puts to thee is, what wilt thou?
A41142So the wicked complain, alas God hath not sowen any power of conversion in my heart, and will hee looke for to reape it?
A41142So thou art wilfull, and thou wilt do thus; Oh do not do it, the Lord hath forbidden thee?
A41142So, is this the labour that I have chosen?
A41142Some Authors alleadge five whies more, why will ye,& c. Is it for this cause or that cause or that?
A41142Stirre up your selves yee whose heart the Lord hath awakened; Though the wicked bee slothfull, will yee be slothfull also?
A41142Suppose thou canst not quicken thy selfe, but wilt thou not see about the meanes?
A41142That''s better then nothing; if thou canst not do it for love, yet why canst thou not do it for feare?
A41142The Lord hath given thee counsells on this fashion; why dost thou not use them?
A41142The Theife on the Crosse did not he repent at last gaspe?
A41142The first question Christ askes thee is this, what canst thou do?
A41142The man in the Gospel that had not on the Wedding garment, could hee say, Lord, I was not able to go to the shop of the Gospel to seeke one?
A41142Then the wicked shall say; What hath pride profited us?
A41142There is misery enough on the Church, and why can not wee mourne?
A41142There is teaching in abundance, and why can not wee learne?
A41142There is woe enough a comming, and why can not wee provide for''t aforehand?
A41142Thirdly, but I can not pull downe my owne heart, nor master mine one will sayst thou; no?
A41142Thou canst not speake for God, thou canst not be angry against sinne, nor lay to heart the miseries of Gods Church?
A41142Thou hast the opportunity by thee, why dost thou not take it?
A41142Thou labour?
A41142Thou pleadest for hopes ▪ and liest in thy sinnes, why wilt thou?
A41142Thus thou pleadest with God for thy vaine hopes; but why wilt thou?
A41142To labour so as thou labourest?
A41142To what end should God give thee power?
A41142We complaine of our deadnesse, and what trow wee is the cause, but our wil nots?
A41142Wee our owne selves count this anger very reasonable in the like case; what will hee not do it?
A41142Well beg then and yee will; can not you endure a little cold?
A41142What can not a man do for selfe- love and for feare?
A41142What dost thou talking of thy want of power?
A41142What is a sinne of infirmity but a sinne the will protesteth against?
A41142What is the cause yee live in your sinnes, and die and perish in your sinnes?
A41142What labour is it to say, company- keepers shall not sit drinking in my house?
A41142What makes some of us goe downe the winde?
A41142What meanes hath hee lent thee?
A41142What not speake a word but onely with warrant from Scripture?
A41142What now hast thou gotten by thy plea?
A41142What sayes the Text in the verse going before?
A41142What thus precise?
A41142What was it because they could not?
A41142What''s the reason, they presume to repent another time, but because they thinke they have power?
A41142What?
A41142When Abrahams servant objected, and how if the woman will not?
A41142When a servant can runne a race for his sport, why will he not on his Masters errand when hee bids him?
A41142When yee pray forgive us our Trespasses, do not ye acknowledge with all that ye have been wanting to the grace of God?
A41142Who can tell best what is in thee God or thine owne heart?
A41142Why didst thou not imploy it to the utmost?
A41142Why does he charge mee to root out a lust that I can not root out?
A41142Why dost not thou?
A41142Why dost thou not abstaine from going to Feasts awhile?
A41142Why dost thou not bawke such acquaintance as may occasion thy Tongue to cast out?
A41142Why dost thou not curbe thy proude stubborne lusts for feare of this Hell?
A41142Why dost thou not go so far as thou mayest?
A41142Why dost thou not intreat Gods people severely to reprove thee, and exact a fine of thee for every misgoverning word?
A41142Why dost thou not stint thy Trencher with so much?
A41142Why dost thou not take heede for feare, least God should send thee to Hell?
A41142Why should you be stricken any more?
A41142Why then canst thou not goe and resigne it to God?
A41142Why then wilt you count it folly to do so?
A41142Why will ye dye O house of Jsrael?
A41142Why will yee die O house of Israel?
A41142Why wilt thou not give over one of thy two livings then?
A41142Why?
A41142Why?
A41142Why?
A41142Why?
A41142Will not this bee an aggravation against them at the dreadfull day of judgement?
A41142Would not this anger any body?
A41142Wouldst thou be holy, and heavenly?
A41142Yea, but I can not finde in my heart to put up this, nor to be abridged of this, and shall Christ and thou part for one single farthing?
A41142You can observe his statutes, why can not you set about mine?
A41142You have hardned your necks, and what''s that but a will not?
A41142and come into his way, or yee shall never escape the evill to come; can there be any reasonabler way then this?
A41142and give place to the Devill still?
A41142and in thy life sweare still?
A41142and not that he should returne and live?
A41142and sin against mercy?
A41142and thou knowest it; God is truer in his Law then any mortall man, and thou knowest it: and fearest thou not me?
A41142and when thou hadst promised, did any squeeze the lie out of thy tongue that thou shouldest tell a lie to the Holy Ghost?
A41142and yee must have the sinnes of Jeroboam; that were enough stubbornesse one would thinke; but yee must suffer the grove also?
A41142are no Sizers able to cut it?
A41142as Christ said to the Officer that smote him, if I have spoken well, why smitest thou mee?
A41142as God sayd of that fasting; so may I say of thy labour, Is this the fast that J have chosen?
A41142as Israel, though in a mistake, said to their brethren, is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from the which we are not cleansed to this day?
A41142as he ask''d the blind man, what wilt thou that I doe unto thee?
A41142as though he could yet up againe as well as he; the drunkard, was not Noah drunk?
A41142because he can not?
A41142because hee hath not any meate?
A41142because the ground would not beare it?
A41142bee more frequent in good duties for hope of Heaven, and for feare of Hell?
A41142but that yee must turne away this day too?
A41142but wilt thou not be made clean?
A41142but yee must willingly stand out against Christ too?
A41142can not you say get you hence ye drunken companions, here''s no entertainment for you?
A41142can not, can not thy stubborne will stoope to a little difficulty?
A41142canst thou say thou art not able to feare him so much as servilely?
A41142could not they have put on sackcloath on their loines, and powered ashes on their heads if they would?
A41142couldst thou not have held in thy fingers?
A41142couldst thou not take them into thy house as well as carnall acquaintance?
A41142cursed passions still?
A41142did any drag thy fingers to the money and force thee to handle it?
A41142does Paul cry out, Oh wretched man that I am?
A41142does not thy own conscience tell thee t is because thou wilt not?
A41142every Sermon gives thee new power, a new price?
A41142every blessing thou hast had, gives thee a new power, wherein are thou purer?
A41142every one of us, God will exempt none, wee must all be brought to an accompt for these things; will not thy heart bow to it?
A41142feare yee not mee?
A41142hast thou not as much reason as a brute creature?
A41142have not you a Tongue in your heads ye that keepe disorders in your Alehouses?
A41142he does not say woe unto thee Jerusalem, canst thou not be made clean?
A41142he had power not to do it, why then does he crucify him?
A41142he knowes that I can not, why does he wooe me to do that which I can not?
A41142he was a Saint of God, and heire of heaven, and sure of blisse; does he cry out of himselfe, that he was wretched?
A41142hee sets up a Temple, you can go constantly to it, why can not you go constantly to mine?
A41142if he were accursed that did lay up his pound, what shall become of thee that dost lessen it?
A41142in what a wofull case then art thou to provoke him as thou dost?
A41142is it because I am not mercifull?
A41142is it not easier to give over drunkennesse, when thy excesse is bitter to thy stomacke, then when it it was pleasant?
A41142is there a Thorne hedge in the way?
A41142is this all that God hath offred to inable thee?
A41142keepe such disorders under thy roofe?
A41142let us thanke our wil nots for this; have we little peace?
A41142meanes and maintenance: how hast thou honoured God?
A41142might not they have shewed so much repentance at the least?
A41142mock at my children still?
A41142never comply nor sort with such and such old acquaintance, because they drop out an Oath now and then before they are aware?
A41142never right my selfe by a little revenge?
A41142no, hee hath a hand in his bosome; because his hand hath the dead Palsy, and hee not able to stirre it?
A41142no, how does he know?
A41142not give over thy base carnall consorts?
A41142onely because thou wilt not; hast thou impediments?
A41142or are not your wayes rathere unquall?
A41142or promise me blessings if I doe, when he knowes that I can not?
A41142or to be negligent of his Masters commands?
A41142or what cause is it?
A41142q. d. why d ● es God give mee such Commandements, that I can not observe?
A41142quasi canis peccatum sus dependeret?
A41142reforme nothing, no, not the grove under your face?
A41142saith the Lord, will yee not tremble at my presence?
A41142sayes Christ, are yee able to drinke of the Cup that I am to drinke off, and bee Baptized with the Baptisme that I am Baptized with?
A41142sayes Gualter, with what face canst thou say thus?
A41142see how God girdeth their willfull security that they would do no more good then they did; not so much as cut down that grove?
A41142shall I be touchy to be damned, and proud to be damned?
A41142so every good counsell gives thee a new power; what art thou better?
A41142so many meanes and no more fruit?
A41142so many warnings and threatnings,& c. and yet the grove also?
A41142the Lord in mercy lets thy will have a despoticall power over thy members, as the Moralists call it, and why canst thou not bridle, them?
A41142the grove also; what not so much as the grove cut downe?
A41142the time was when thou wert a little well affected, why didst thou let it decay?
A41142then use the meanes; Talk of Heaven in thy meetings, reason about grace, inquire of good soules And how may I come by an humble heart?
A41142thou darest not transgresse the Kings Lawes for fear of the Gallowse; and can not the feare of Hell restraine thee from transgressing of Gods?
A41142thou hast the temptation by thee, why dost thou not resist it?
A41142thou rapst out an Oath before thou art aware, why then dost thou not as Chrysostome would have thee, Set forfeitures for every Oath?
A41142time was when thou wert soberer, and lesse given to wrath and passions; and why didst thou let these good conditions decay?
A41142to afflict a mans selfe for a day?
A41142to be moved when thou art exhorted, then when thou art not admonished at all?
A41142to forsake a sinfull course when once God hath imbittered it to thy flesh by corrections, then when it was sweet?
A41142was it not once in thy power?
A41142we complaine of our corruptions and of the leanenesse of our soules, and whom may we thanke, but our wil nots?
A41142we might grow more then we doe, what lets us, but our wil nots?
A41142were they able to say thus?
A41142what aileth thee that thou canst not tame downe thy pride for feare of Gods judgements, and bridle thy base passions for feare of Hell?
A41142what because he can not chuse?
A41142what did his wife tie his legges?
A41142what followes?
A41142what shall I do unto thee?
A41142what''s the reason he hath not a good crop?
A41142what''s the reason, they hope to repent on their death beds, but because they thinke they have power?
A41142when shall it once be?
A41142who of us is able to dwell with everlasting flames?
A41142why canst thou not then do it for fear of the great God?
A41142why does he helpe me to more and more knowledge?
A41142why does he yet complaine?
A41142why does hee starve?
A41142why then dost thou not forecast for to reine them?
A41142will any man be so vaine as to say Achan could not chuse but take the Babylonish Garment?
A41142wouldst thou beleive in me?
A41142yee can not come unto Sermons?
A41142yet thy filthy Tongue thy covetousnesse also,& c. not only keep thy other lusts, but thy profanesse also?
A41142you know I am gracious and full of mercy and ready to forgive, why then why will ye die O house of Israel?
A41142you know I am slow to anger, and give you a warning before I consume you; why then will ye die O house of Jsrael?
A41142you shall not; would you stand lingring to be consumed with fire and brimstone?
A41142your owne legges they shall judge you; can you say you can not give over your oathing and lying?
A1065018. to be strong in him when we are weake in our selves?
A106504.25, 26 a Quomodo potest esse cum Christo qui cum sponsa Christi, atque in ejus Ecclesia non est?
A106505.17, 18. Who goeth a warfare at any time of his owne charges?
A10650Againe, how easily would Temptations over- turne the faith of men, if it were not daily supported by the Word?
A10650Am I a serious and earnest enemie to my originall lusts, and closest corruptions?
A10650Am I cleansed from my filthinesse, carefull to keepe my selfe chaste, comely, beautifull, a fit spouse for the fairest of ten thousand?
A10650Am I not God, and not man?
A10650Am I not neerer to my soule, than I am to my carkasse, or to my seed?
A10650And alas, how many men preach the Gospell, and yet can scarce finde the first and meanest of all these supplies?
A10650And am I not neerer to my selfe, than I am to my money?
A10650And how many are there every- where to be found whose love unto themselves hath devoured all brotherly love?
A10650And how should men labour to be secured in that right?
A10650And now alas, what were we that God should bring us hitherto?
A10650And shall the potsheard strive with the potter, and provoke him that made it?
A10650And so also in afflictions; Hath the Lord forgotten to bee gratious and shut up his loving kindnesse in displeasure?
A10650And therefore the Apostle useth this expostulation against Idolaters, Doe we provoke the Lord to jelousie?
A10650And what can the reasonings of the flesh contribute to that which was all wisedome before?
A10650And what is it To live?
A10650And where is the fury of the oppressor?
A10650And why should not I apply my power, to serve him, who did reach forth his owne power to convert me?
A10650And, what hath my beloved to doe in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdnesse with many?
A10650Are we stronger than he?
A10650Are yee able to drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, or be baptized with that Baptisme that I am baptized with?
A10650Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, is there any thing too hard for mee?
A10650But are not the faithfull subject to evils, corruptions, and temptations still?
A10650But can thine heart endure, or thine hands bee strong, saith the Lord, in the day that I shall deale with thee?
A10650But doth hee not call mee, invite me, beseech mee, command me to come unto him?
A10650But doth not the Apostle say, that all things are put under his feete?
A10650But even in their personall succession who knoweth not what Simonies and Sorceries have raised divers of them unto that degree?
A10650But how doe we in the Gospell see the Image of God who is invisible?
A10650But if the paw of a Beare meet with so thinne a substance as the kall of a mans heart, how easily is it torne to pieces?
A10650But it may bee objected, if wee can doe nothing without a second grace, to what end is a former grace given?
A10650But shall God give his Sonne the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession, and shall men withhold it?
A10650But shall not the Angels then be executioners of the sentence of Gods wrath upon wicked men?
A10650But suppose that povertie be truly alleaged: Doe wee thinke poverty a just pretext for the neglect of a morall duty?
A10650But what good can love doe without power?
A10650But what then, doth Christ compell men against their wills to become subiect unto him?
A10650But what will remaine of a mans silver and gold to carry him through the wrath to come, but onely the rust thereof to joyne in judgment against him?
A10650But what, is not God a God afarre off as well as neere at hand?
A10650But who am I that I should promise any service unto thee?
A10650But why is it said that the Father shal put Christs enemies under his feet?
A10650Can thine heart endure or thine hands bee strong in the dayes that I shall deale with thee?
A10650Dare we meete the Lord in his fury, doe we provoke him to powre out All his wrath?
A10650Doe I finde in my soule the new name of the Lord Iesus written, that I am not onely in title, but in truth a Christian?
A10650Doe I finde the secret nature and figure of Christ fashioned in mee, swaying mine heart to the love and obedience of his holy wayes?
A10650Doe not wee our selves without cruelty upon many occasions put creatures that have not offended us unto paine?
A10650Doe yee not know that they which minister about holy things, live of the things of the Temple?
A10650Doth God take care for Oxen?
A10650Doth it become the sonne of a King to goe in ragges, or to converse with meane and ignoble persons?
A10650Ephraim shall say, what have I to doe any more with idols?
A10650Fifthly, what kinde of blessing it was wherewith Melchisedek blessed Abraham?
A10650Fifthly, what kinde of blessing it was with which hee blessed Abraham?
A10650First, what is meant by the Rod of Christs Strength, or his Strong Rod?
A10650First, whether God hath repented him of the Law, which was the rule and measure of the Covenant of workes?
A10650First, who Melchisedek was?
A10650For how can that man truly hope to bee like Christ hereafter, that labors to bee as unlike him here as hee can?
A10650For the second question, why God swears in this particular?
A10650For understanding wherof we must note that he had a fourfold Vnion unto God?
A10650Fourthly, Why Melchisedek brought forth bread and wine?
A10650Fourthly, the torments of wicked angels whence can they come?
A10650Fourthly, why hee brought forth bread and wine?
A10650Hast thou not knowne, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary?
A10650Hath his Gospell an effectual seminall vertue within me to new forme my nature and life daily unto his heavenly Image?
A10650Hath the Raine a Father, or who hath begotten the Drops of Dew?
A10650Have I beene a wildernesse unto Israel, or a land of darknesse, wherefore say my people we are lords, we will come no more unto thee?
A10650He is neere at hand, his comming draweth nigh: He is neere that justifieth mee, who will contend with m ● e?
A10650He that loveth not his brother whom hee hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seene?
A10650He was taken, saith the Prophet, from Prison and judgment, to note that the whole debt was payed, and now who shall declare his generation?
A10650Here is love in pretence, but falshood in the heart: what then was it which in the Prophet they did thus love?
A10650Here then it is needfull to enquire in what manner we are to adorne and set forth the glory of the Gospell?
A10650Here then may bee answered two great Questions: First, whether the Church may deficere, faile upon the earth or no?
A10650How doe you say we are wise; saith the Prophet, and the Law of the Lord is with us?
A10650How doth the Lord grant this Prayer?
A10650How earnestly should wee contend for this truth, the custodie whereof he hath honoured us withall?
A10650How faire and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights?
A10650How much more glorious was the light of the Gospell?
A10650How poore our progresse?
A10650How shall I deliver thee Israel?
A10650How shall I make thee as Admah?
A10650How shall I set thee as Zeboim?
A10650How shall these things be reconcil''d?
A10650How should we praise him for it, and as wee have received Christ purely, so labour to walk worthily in him?
A10650How should we runne to him that called us when we knew him not?
A10650How should we set forward, and call upon one another, that we may flie like doves in companies unto the windowes of the Church?
A10650How then comes it that this covenant is immutable, and Christs Priesthood of everlasting and unchangeable vigor to all ages and generations of men?
A10650How wonderfull is the stupidity of men, that will neither beleeve the words, nor tremble at the oath of God?
A10650I raised up of your sonnes for Prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites: Is it not even thus, O yee children of Israel?
A10650I said, how shall I put thee amongst the children, and give thee a pleasant Land?
A10650I will melt them and trie them, saith the Lord, for how shall I doe for the daughter of my people?
A10650If God be for us, who can be against us?
A10650If I be a Master, saith the Lord, where is my feare?
A10650If a man had a deadly pestilence and of infallible infection, how easily might that man be avenged on his enemy with but breathing in his face?
A10650If it bee marvailous in the eyes of the remnant of this people, should it bee marvailous in mine eyes, saith the Lord of hosts?
A10650If it objected, why then did not Christ in his life receive tithes?
A10650If the ministration of death( saith the Apostle) were glorious, how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious?
A10650If wee have sowen unto you spirituall things, is it a great thing if wee shall reape your carnall things?
A10650In that great tempest when Christ was asleepe in the ship, his Disciples awaked him and expostulated with him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
A10650In this case what shall I doe?
A10650Is Christ divided?
A10650Is Christ my center?
A10650Is it not one and the same power which hardneth the one and which softneth the other?
A10650Is not the word a sweete Savor unto God as well in those that perish as in those that are saved?
A10650Is not this the end why the Gospell is preached, that we should live unto God?
A10650Is the seed yet in the barne?
A10650It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A10650It is God that justifieth, who is hee that condemneth?
A10650It is further demanded when sinne is full?
A10650It was once the expostulation of Nehemiah with his enemies, should such a man as I flie from such men as you?
A10650It wrought so with that wicked king of Israel, Behold this evill is of the Lord, what should I waite upon the Lord any longer?
A10650Lastly, in what sense hee was without Father, and without Mother, without beginning of dayes, or end of life?
A10650Must I not have a being in that, when neither I nor my posterity have either backe to be clothed, or belly to bee fed, or name to be supported?
A10650My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee?
A10650My soule thirsteth for God, yea for the living God, when shall I come and appeare before God?
A10650Nay, but who art thou, O man, who disputest against God?
A10650Now by the Gospell we have that great honour and priviledge given us to be called the sons of God; and shall we then walke as servants of Satan?
A10650Now suppose a man in a burning fornace; what great comfort could he receive from but a drop of water against a fornace of fire?
A10650Now then if God himselfe did studie to save me, how great reason is there that I should studie to serve him?
A10650Now what are all the good tidings to the Gospell?
A10650Nunquid Cain cum Deo munus offerret jam peremerat fratrem?
A10650O how forward ought we to be to serve him, who is so ready to meet us in his way, and to blesse us?
A10650O my people, what have I done unto thee, and wherein have I wearied thee?
A10650O then what is become of the Christianity of many men, who forget that they have beene purged?
A10650O then why should that be light to mee, which was as heavie as a milstone to the soule of Christ?
A10650O what a perversenesse is this for the wickednesse of man to perturbe the Order of God?
A10650O what a price was that which procured it?
A10650O what manner of persons ought we to bee for whom it was procured?
A10650O what would a man give then for that holinesse which hee now despiseth?
A10650O where shall the ungodly and sinners appeare if they have not right in Christ?
A10650O why am I not as sadly imployed, why spend I not some at least as serious and inquisitive thoughts about this, as about the other?
A10650O why should not an holy strictnesse be as much honoured as a superstitious?
A10650Or where could he have found out an Altar whereon to offer, and whereby to sanctifie so great a sacrifice?
A10650Out of whose wombe came the Ice?
A10650Peter lovest thou me?
A10650Quantus in Christiano populo honor Christi, ubi religio ignobilem facit?
A10650Quid est Dei veri veracisque Iuratio, nisi promissi confirma ● tio, ut infidelium quaedam Increpatio?
A10650Quid judicaturus faciet qui judicandus hoc fecit?
A10650Quid ● ● fert dictis ignoscat Mutius, annon?
A10650Say I these things as a man( that is, am I partiall?
A10650Secondly, upon what reasons or grounds the immutabilitie of the second Covenant or Law of grace standeth?
A10650Secondly, what is meant by Gods sending this Rod of Christs strength?
A10650Secondly, what is meant by 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, his Order?
A10650Secondly, why hee swears in this particular case of Christs Priesthood?
A10650Shall I take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot?
A10650Shall the clay boast it selfe against the fire, because, though it have power to melt wax, yet it hath not power to melt clay?
A10650Sixthly, in what manner he received Tithes?
A10650Sixthly, in what manner he received Tithes?
A10650Sonne of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloudy Citie, saith the Lord?
A10650That reason which the Pharisees used to disswade men from beleeving in Christ, Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees beleeved on him?
A10650The Lord hath sworne] Here two things are to bee enquired: First, how God is said to sweare?
A10650The like may be said of mens spirituall condition; when men despaire, as Cain, that their sinne is greater than can be forgiven?
A10650The very best that are finde shame enough in sinne, how much they who give themselves over unto vile and dishonourable affections?
A10650Then( saith the Church) shee that is mine enemies shall see it,& shame shall cover her which said unto mee, Where is the Lord thy God?
A10650Thirdly, Why was hee not a Priest after the order of Aaron?
A10650Thirdly, what is meant by sending it out of Sion?
A10650Thirdly, why Christ was to bee a Priest after his Order, and not after Aarons?
A10650Thou servest thine owne vainglorie and affectations; but what good will it bee to bee admired by thy fellow prisoners, and condemned by thy Judge?
A10650Too true it is that I doe not all I should: but doe I allow my selfe in any thing that I should not?
A10650True it is, thou hast beene unto me as the Rulers of Sodome, and as the people of Gomorrah: But shall I be unto thee, as I have beene unto them?
A10650What ailed a man that hee was driven back from his owne channell, and made suddenly to forget his wonted course?
A10650What ailed thee O thou Sea, that thou fleddest, and thou Iordan that thou wert driven back?
A10650What ailes this man?
A10650What glory doe we here behold, but that which a glasse is able to represent?
A10650What hast thou to doe to take my Covenant in thy mouth, seeing thou hatest instruction?
A10650What hath my beloved to doe in mine house, seeing shee hath wrought lewdnesse with many?
A10650What in appearance weaker than words spoken by a despised man?
A10650What is a Bee to a Beare, or a Mouse to an Elephant?
A10650What thing is heavier than a mountaine, what thing easier than a touch, what lighter than chaffe, or softer than wax?
A10650What will yee doe in the desolation which shall come from farre?
A10650When I see a vapour ascend out of the earth into the aire, why should I not thinke that it will never leave rising till it get up to heaven?
A10650When Iudas asked Christ, n Master is it I that shall betray thee?
A10650When the Prophet asked the Shunamite, would''st thou be spoken for to the king, or to the Captaine of the host?
A10650Whence came it all?
A10650Where is it that wee behold the glorie of God but s in a glasse?
A10650Where is the promise of his comming?
A10650Wherefore lyest thou upon thy face, there is an accursed thing in the campe?
A10650Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
A10650Who amongst us shall dwell with the devouring fire, who amongst us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A10650Who art thou, O great mountaine?
A10650Who hath required this at your hands to tread in my Courts?
A10650Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his people?
A10650Who is he that condemneth?
A10650Who is he that condemneth?
A10650Who is mine adversary?
A10650Who is weake, saith he, and I am not weake?
A10650Who planteth a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit thereof?
A10650Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A10650Who then is the man that desireth tranquillitie of life, and securitie against all evill?
A10650Why should I allow that to be really in me, which the Lord so severely punished, when the guilt thereof was but imputed to his Sonne?
A10650Why should it be treason to kill a Judge in his ministerie on the bench?
A10650Why should not every man strive to be filled with grace, since he can never have enough till hee have it all, till he is brimme- full?
A10650Why should that be in a throne with me, which was upon a crosse with him?
A10650Why should that bee my pleasure, which was his passion?
A10650Wilt thou be content to goe to hell and serve me there a thousand yeeres in the midst of hellish torments, and the reviling of damned creatures?

A121676. there are seven hornes and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God, here Christ the lambe hath seven eyes and seven hornes: what be these?
A121676. you have his love set forth, Hee loved us, and how doth he witnesse it?
A12167A Christian as soone as ever he becomes a Christian, and ever after to death and in death too, he gives up himselfe to Christ?
A12167A turning of Christs speech to the winds to blow upon his Garden: with the End, why?
A12167And againe, Observe it against our Adversaries: What say they?
A12167And as it is an argument that God heares our prayers, so is it of the presence of Christ; for how could wee pray but from his inward presence?
A12167And here how excellently is the expression of Christs mercie, love, and patience set out?
A12167And how was hee used in the Apostles that were after him, and in the Ministers of the Church ever since, What have they indured?
A12167And indeed wherein doth the Church differ from other grounds, but that Christ hath taken it in?
A12167And is it love lost?
A12167And is it not fit that Christ should eat fruit of his owne vine, have comfort of his owne Garden, to tast of his owne fruits?
A12167And is it not monstrous in Grace?
A12167And it is an odious temper to God; for doth not hee deserve cheerefull service at our hands?
A12167And reason the matter, how doth this that I am mooved to suite with my Hopes and expectation to come?
A12167And this also should move us, to be fruitfull, for men will indure a fruitlesse tree in the wast wildernesse, but in their garden who will indure it?
A12167And we have need of feeding as well as breeding: where dost thou feed?
A12167And what greater love, then the love of the soule?
A12167And what shall wee loose by it?
A12167And withall, labour for abundance of the Spirit of God, for what makes men sleepie, and drowsie?
A12167And yet whose imployment is greater, then the imploiment of the cheife Magistrate?

A12167But what if we doe not kisse him, and subject our selves to him; love him and beleeve in him?
A12167But what is the ground of such love?
A12167But what is this to us or to the Church?
A12167But what is this white and ruddie: what is beauty?
A12167But why is the Church thus earnest?
A12167But you will say, How doth this appeare when in some desertion a Christian finds no grace, strength, or comfort at all?
A12167But, How can this be that there should be conscience of sinne, and no conscience of sinne, a sinner, and yet a perfect Saint and undefiled?
A12167But, How is that?
A12167But, What defence hath Gods poore Church?
A12167But, Why is the Church compared to a Garden?
A12167C ● n a mother forget her sucking child, if she should yet will not I forget thee?
A12167Can I hope to find that of God, that others can not find from me?

A12167Can a mother forget her child?
A12167Can they blindfold him in Heaven that hath this sharp eye?
A12167Can we see more in our selves, then hee doth?
A12167Can we thinke he will suffer us to want that which is needfull?
A12167Can we want righteousnesse, while we have Christs Righteousnesse, is not his garment large enough for himselfe and us too?
A12167Christ can open to himselfe, and wee have no free will, nor power to open?
A12167Consider whence they come?

A12167Did Christ ever turne back any that came unto him, if they came out of a true sence of their wants?
A12167Did ever soule love Christ more then that woeman that had so many Divels cast out of her?
A12167Did hee ayme at these imperfect beginnings to rest there?
A12167Doe they take such courses that are wiser then I, and shall not I take the like course too?
A12167Doe wee entertaine Christ to our losse?
A12167Doth Christ by his Spirit discover the secret love the hath borne to us before all worlds?
A12167Doth any man so love his creditor as he that hath much debt forgiven him?
A12167Doth he delight in strangenesse, that makes all this Love to a Christians soule?
A12167Doth hee come emptie?
A12167Doth our love to God abide for ever; and doth not his love to us whence it commeth?
A12167Excuses from Oxen, Wives,& c. Was it not lawfull to buy Oxen?
A12167First, Christ doth use sometimes to leave his Church, as here he doth, My Beloved had withdrawne himselfe,& c. But what kind of leaving is it?
A12167First, those that are not yet in Christ, not contracted to him to draw them; what can prevaile more then that which is in Christ?
A12167For what hath beene the food in Popery?
A12167For would men suffer idle words, yea filthy and rotten talke to come from their mouths if they were awake?
A12167Hath Christ no affections now he is in Heaven, to her that is so neere him as the Church is?
A12167Hath Christ thus infinitly loved us, and shall not wee backe againe make him our love?
A12167Hee hath but two houses to dwell in; the Heavens, and the heart of an humble broken hearted sinner; How can Christ come into the soule?

A12167How shall we carry our selves when it falls out that our hearts faile of that we seek for, whē we pray without succes& find not a presēt answer?
A12167How shall we do to keep& preserve our soules in this waking condition, especially in these drowsietimes?
A12167How shall we know light to be light?
A12167How with our hatred, our zeale?
A12167I am laden, and vvretched?
A12167I answer, Indeed there is difference, Whence comes that difference?
A12167I have no time( saith the worldling) what will you have mee to do?

A12167If the eye of their soules were awake, would they runne into these snares, that their owne Consciences tells them are so?
A12167If they be bad, why doe I doe them at all?
A12167If they be good, why doe I not doe them?
A12167If they be good, why doe I stick at them?
A12167If we should aske what is the reason there be so many, that Apostatize, fall away, grow prophane, and are so unfruitfull under the Gospell?
A12167If we study to please men in whom there is but little good; should we not much more study to please Christ the fountaine of goodnesse?
A12167If you aske, why wee must grow up and bee fed still?
A12167In choosing us, what did God ayme at?
A12167In former times when they had not the Scriptures, and the comforts of them to feed on, what did the poore soules then?
A12167In himselfe and in his owne blessed person, what did he endure?
A12167In the next place, are we ready to suffer for Christ?
A12167In this case God will not regard our prayers, as it is said; I care not for your Prayers, or for any service you performe to me: why?
A12167In this sweet Conjunction we must know, that by nature, we are cleane otherwaises then Spouses for what was Salomons wife Pharoahs daughter?

A12167Is heere the Spirit of Christ?
A12167Is it not a comfort to know where to feed and to have pastures to goe to, without suspition of poyson?
A12167Is it not a wonder we stand so long, when Cities, stone walls fall, and Kingdomes come to suddaine periods?
A12167Is it not better to take shame to our selves now, than to be shamed hereafter before Angels, Divels and Men?
A12167Is it not equall, that hee should bid us, Depart yee cursed I know you not?

A12167My bowels were mooved in mee,& c. What was that?
A12167No, I have put of my coate, how shall I put it on?
A12167Now what meanes of knocking hath hee not used among us a long time?
A12167Now what patience is there in Christ to suffer himselfe in his messengers, and his children to be thus used?
A12167Now whence came all this?
A12167Now you may say, Why is shee so exact in reckoning up so many particulars of her Beloved, his Head, Lockes, Eyes, Lips, and such like?
A12167O But what kind of man was he?
A12167Oh, since I am thus undefiled shall I rest in my selfe?
A12167Or if men be great, why this is not honourable to do thus, as you know what Michall said to David, How glor ● ous was the King of Israell this day?
A12167Propound unto them waking considerations, What causeth our sleepes, but want of matters of more serious observation?
A12167Psalme is to that purpose, O how aymiable are thy Tabernacles O Lord of hosts?
A12167Recreations are lawfull, who denies it?
A12167S ● ● l S ● ● l why persecutest thou mee?
A12167Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?
A12167Saul Saul why persecutest thou mee?
A12167Shall I look for mercy that have no mercifull heart my selfe?
A12167Shall a good christian be Chists love, and shall he be the object of my hatred and scorne?
A12167Shall hee make men tender and carefull over others, and shall not he himselfe be carefull of his owne flock?
A12167Shall the Church of God be the love of Christ, and shall it be our hatred?
A12167Shall we thinke much then to waite a little while for him?
A12167Shall we utterly distaste a Christian for that?
A12167Si tuo tempore hec dicebas( O sapiens Au ● us ● ine) quid nostra tempestate d ● xisses?
A12167So if you aske, How we know the Word of God to be the Word of God?
A12167Summer and Winter arise from the presence and absence of the sunne: what causeth the Spring to be so cloathed withall those rich ornaments?
A12167Surely thinks the soule then, he desires my Salvation, and Conversion; And to vvhat kind of persons doth he come?
A12167That we may further improove this point, Is Christ altogether lovely, so lovely to us and so beloved of God the Father?
A12167That which is most precious is most communicating, as the Sunne a glorious creature, what doth so much good as it?
A12167The Church here from what doth shee commend her Beloved?
A12167The Church stood upon tearmes with Christ when he would have come in to her, but what ensued hereupon?
A12167The Lord is my Shepheard, and what is the use that David presently makes hereof?
A12167The Question asked is, What is thy Beloved more then anothers Beloved, O thou fairest among woemen?
A12167The Spouse there is cloathed with the Sunne, with the beames of Christ: but is that all?
A12167The child of God is cast downe when he finds not the presence of God as he was wo ● ● t, his spirits faile?
A12167The consideration hereof made her ashamed of her selfe, what so excellent, so deserving a person as my beloved is to me, to be used of me so?
A12167The honours pleasures and profits that are got by base ingagements to the humours of men, what are these to Christ?
A12167Then the second Question is, whither is thy Beloved gone?
A12167Therefore why doe wee murmure at the crosse, when all is to recover our spirituall taste and rellish?
A12167This drew the Disciples in admiration to say, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the seas obey him?
A12167This fruitlesse estate being often watered from heaven, how fearefully is it threatned by the Holy Ghost?
A12167This here in the text is not such, but a Question tending to further resolution and satisfaction, What is thy Beloved more then another Beloved?
A12167This is one thing that may humble us of this place and nation, that Christ hath no further entrance, nor better entertainement after so long knocking?
A12167This was a noble resolution which was in good Nehemiah, Shall such a man as I flie?
A12167To come in particular, what is that good the Church here confesseth, when shee saith, that her heart waketh?
A12167To come to make an Use of Direction, how to come to be able to say this, I am my Beloveds and my Beloved is mine?
A12167To him that hath shall be given: what is that?
A12167Upon the Crosse, what did hee indure there?
A12167VVhither is he gone, how shall I get Christ?
A12167Variant: cancellandum(?)
A12167Was not he ashamed of us, and shall we be ashamed to owne him and his cause?
A12167We are bidden to delight in the Lord, and in whom should we delight, but where all fullnesse is to be had to delight in?

A93248All things are yours saith the Apostle, whether Paul, or Apollo, things present, things to come; why?
A93248And if we glory in him now as a God reconciled, what shall we doe in heaven?
A93248And if you ask how they know whether the word be the Word?
A93248And is it not a credit to Religion, when we walke in comfort of the holy Ghost?
A93248And shall not a Christian glory in his God?
A93248And shall the Lord of Hosts make a Feast, and not content the whole man?
A93248And so the Church in Babylon, under what rebukes was it?
A93248And then he will doe it; for what is grace, but an earnest of that fulnesse we shall have in heaven?
A93248And what is joy here, but an earnest of fulnesse of joy for evermore?
A93248And what is the seal of all this?
A93248And what saith the Scripture?
A93248And what were induring of troubles, if something were not in heaven to make amends for all?
A93248And whence is all this but by the death of our blessed Savior Jesus Christ?
A93248And where should the body be, but with the head?
A93248And wil God lose his earnest?
A93248And, woman is this thy faith?
A93248Are not we fit to doe service, when our spirits are most inlarged?
A93248Are we able to justifie these things by the sweetnesse wee have found in them?
A93248As Peter answered when Christ asked him, will you be also gone?
A93248Before he spake of a feast, and if the Feast- maker be not there, what is all?
A93248Being justified by faith, wee have peace with God, and rejoyce under hope of glory; Nay afterwards, saith he, we rejoyce in tribulations: And why?
A93248But how came Christ to feare death, and we not to fear?
A93248But how commeth death to be swallowed up?
A93248But how shall I know whether griefe be right or no?
A93248But how shall we know whether we have this heavenly light and revelation, or no?
A93248But wee are bid to rejoyce alwaies; why then is it required that we weepe and mourne?
A93248But what are these reasons to those which the soule of a gracious Christian knoweth by the operation of the Word upon the heart?
A93248But what is the reason of it?
A93248Can a man see a poore Asse fall under a burthen, and not helpe to take it up, and yet see man falling to hell, and not be affected with it?
A93248Can a worlding glory in his riches, his greatnesse, his favour from such a man, as Haman did?
A93248Canst thou repent of a sinne before it bee committed?
A93248Doth God performe any promise, and so give cause of joy?
A93248First of all by supposition that there bee glorious excellent things?
A93248For the head of the Church, we should spend the time to no purpose to prove it; what was Christs life?
A93248For what is the use of this Feast, but to cherish both soule and spirit?
A93248God hath affections for any condition: Is a man in misery?
A93248Gods manner is first of all to give promises to his Church; why?
A93248Hence may this question be easily answered; VVhence hath the Scripture authority?
A93248Here we have Communion of Saints; but what is this communion of Saints, to Communion with God for ever?
A93248Here we have love, many love tokens from God, I, but what is love to union?
A93248How know you the light to be the light but by it selfe?
A93248How may wee know it is the Word of God, but by the Chu ● ch?
A93248I have found thy words efficacious to comfort and strengthen, and raise, and shall I depart from thee, who hast the words of eternall life?
A93248I professe my selfe to be a Christian, where is my faith?
A93248I saw a pale horse, and death upon it, and after him comes hell: what were death, if it were not for the Pit, and Dungeon that followeth it?
A93248I, but what saith the Church there?
A93248If Christ were so able in his kingdome of patience to conquer our greatest enemies, what will he doe in his kingdome of power?
A93248If wee go to the body and state, or any thing about a man, there is cause of griefe; hath not every member many diseases?
A93248In what case were he, if he should lose that object?
A93248In what state are they now?
A93248Is it not a scandall, when we droope under the crosse?
A93248Is it not the most terrible judgement under heaven to dye in our sinnes?
A93248Is it the consolation of the Almighty, and shall not I embrace it?
A93248Is there nothing for the present, no ground of comfort?
A93248Is this Gods word that giveth this direction, that giveth this comfort, and shall I not regard it?
A93248It makes Lions Lambs, Leopards Kids; And what is the ground of all?
A93248Moses speech is verified of them; They shall be a hissing to all Nations, and is not it a proverbe?
A93248Most of graces are founded upon affection; and all graces are but affections sanctified: what would become of grace, if wee had not affections?
A93248Mountaines of Brasse and Iron are not so firme as this Mountaine; For what sustains the Church but the Word of God?
A93248My God my God why hast thou forsaken me?
A93248Now God can create a new spirituall eye to discerne of spirituall things, which a naturall eye can not; who can see things invisible?
A93248Now it is covered with disgrace, and disrespect in the world, scorned and reproached, but what is that to him?
A93248Now what must follow after this Feast?
A93248O Grave where is thy Victory?
A93248Shall God borrow Authority from men?
A93248So Saul, to morrow thou shalt die, and was he the better?
A93248Some say they can not weep, but they can grieve, whether then is it necessary or no to weepe?
A93248The Jewes wondred at the Manna, saying what thing is this?
A93248The ground wee have of comfort under rebuke, and disgrace, there is a spirit of glory, what is that?
A93248The head of the Church our blessed Saviour, and all his gracious Apostles, what a life did they live?
A93248The virgins put the Church to describe her beloved, what is thy beloved more then another beloved?
A93248The word in his promises to reveale his minde to mankinde, and make knowne what he will have us to doe, and what he will doe to us?
A93248There is no sinne without an error in judgement, there is a vaile of ignorance and unbeliefe; what creature will run into a pit when he seeth it open?
A93248These be very great matters, and therefore there is a great confirmation, they have a seale, and what is that?
A93248They that make a sport of sinne, what are they?
A93248This is a very comfortable consideration, for if death be overcome when it seem''d to overcome Christ, what need wee feare any other enemy?
A93248We have seen the Lord, and what have wee to doe with Idols?
A93248We have sence and feeling of many things, he reserveth not all for heaven; how many sweet refreshments have we in the way?
A93248We must be sensible of any affliction, that wee might joy afterwards, and wee ought to labour for it: For is not the joy of the Lord our strength?
A93248We must doe, and we shall know: But can wee doe, before we know?
A93248What are we?
A93248What doth it in the heart?
A93248What is faith to sight?
A93248What is heaven without him?
A93248What is our faith to those glorious things we shall see hereafter?
A93248What is peace here, but an earnest of that peace in heaven?
A93248What is the chiefest point of wisdome?
A93248What is the reason of all the wickednesse of the world, and barrennesse, and voluptuousnesse, but because they have not learned to wait?
A93248What is the reason of that order?
A93248What is this hope to the fruition of what we hope for?
A93248What is to be feared in the world?
A93248What shall wee doe therefore?
A93248What was Paul before Conversion, and Zaccheus?
A93248Whence hath the Scripture authority?
A93248Wherefore is it that thou wilt reveale thy selfe to us, and not unto the world?
A93248Whether the vaile be yet upon our hearts or no?
A93248Who can take away the wound of a guilty conscience, but he that hath set the conscience in the hearts of men?
A93248Who hath more cause of teares than the best Saints?
A93248Who in the world can say at the houre of death, and day of judgment, Loe, this is my riches, this my honours?
A93248Who is this that cometh out of the wildernesse?
A93248Why doe yee look on me, saith Isaiah?
A93248Why is he called the Lord of Hoasts?
A93248Why should I smite them any more saith God*?
A93248Why?
A93248Why?
A93248Why?
A93248You hear therefore what course to take under disgrace; what shall wee doe, when the Church passeth under disgrace?
A93248You will aske me, how shall I know it is the Word of God, if the Church tells us not?
A93248and is not our lives a kind of hospitall, some sicke of one thing, some of another?
A93248and make his boast in his God?
A93248are they not a word of reproach?
A93248can two contraries stand together?
A93248doe they tend to action?
A93248hee that carried his naturall body, will not hee carry his mysticall body thither too?
A93248no, I will not; whether shall I goe, thou hast the words of eternall life?
A93248that God should reveale these things to me, and not to the world?
A93248the Word, the Spirit of God in the Scriptures: And who is above God?
A93248upon what ground?
A93248what am I?
A93248what creature will runne into the fire, the most dull creature?
A93248what is hope, but for the excellency of the object of hope?
A93248what is patience, but for consideration of that?
A93248where is my hope?
A93248where the Spouse, but with the Husband?
A93248who?
A93248will hee bee in piece- meale in heaven?
A93248you are Christs, and Christ is Gods: what are ours?
A02852( said she) Art thou such a nouice in my Schoole?
A0285213.24 Deus de reliquit cum pe ● sequimini& comprehendite, quia non est qui eripiat?
A028523 If thou LORD wilt bee extreame to marke what is done amisse: O LORD, who may abide it?
A028523 My soule is also sore troubled: but LORD how long wilt thou punish me?
A028525 For in death no man remembreth thee: and who will giue thee thankes in the pit?
A02852A Father that hath greater care and prouidence ouer his spirituall children, then any Father can haue ouer his carnall?
A02852A Father that hee will, Almighty that hee can doe good vnto mee?
A02852A Father to loue mee, Almighty to helpe mee?
A02852AND what now shall mine enemies doe?
A02852Againe, what naturall cause beginneth a worke, and leaueth the same vnfinished?
A02852Against a worme?
A02852Alas wretch that I am ▪ Which way shall I turne mee?
A02852And good cause why?
A02852And haddest thou rather be euer without GOD, then with aduersity to attaine him?
A02852And hath not the most noble nature said, that, To them who haue, more shall be giuen?
A02852And hath promised mee many fauoures and rewardes, if I will so doe?
A02852And how can it be otherwise?
A02852And how should man be pure, who springeth from a rotten root?
A02852And how then shall I be able to vnderstand thee?
A02852And now, what death can I feare, when I haue lost the life of my soule?
A02852And now,( O holy GOD) now I haue confessed to thee my owne sinnes in particular, and generally the sinfulnesse of all: what wilt thou doe?
A02852And shall I tell thee, O my friend?
A02852And shall I( most meeke GOD) be the first?
A02852And then what followeth?
A02852And what hope hath the hypocrite, when hee hath heaped vp riches, if GOD taketh away his soule?
A02852And wherfore tariest thou?
A02852And wouldest thou haue him turne his face to thee, being a most heynous sinner?
A02852Are not all the workes of the mighty GOD perfect?
A02852Are thy benefits become so chargeable to thee?
A02852Are thy mercies spent?
A02852Art not thou a sinner, a grieuous sinner?
A02852Art thou so much afraid of feare?
A02852Art thou vngodly and yet honourable and rich?
A02852Art thou wicked and yet wise?
A02852BVT what a maze doe I begin to tread?
A02852BVt how long wilt thou suspend thy mercie and grace?
A02852Being deepely wounded with the greatest griefe, what sence can I haue of ordinary euill?
A02852But for whom should hee require it; if not for those for whom hee merited it?
A02852But is it not vsuall that GOD listneth not to sinners?
A02852But knowest thou not how odious an offence ingratitude is?
A02852But stay, impatient soule, be not so violent in thy desire: GOD hath long expected thy repentance, and canst thou not a while expect his mercie?
A02852But tell me, reasonable man; what reason hast thou not to doe that, which thou seest vnreasonable beasts performe?
A02852But they who haue receiued mercy, who are vnder the protection and guard of grace, in what assurance doe they stand?
A02852But to what end?
A02852But vpon whom?
A02852But what is it to do all these things b ● fore thy face?
A02852But what is this sacrifice of righteousnesse?
A02852But what mooueth thee to doubt and distrust thine estate?
A02852But when is he more neere then at the present Novv?
A02852But when thou shalt offend thy only omnipotent GOD, to whom wilt thou resort for reliefe?
A02852But when, O LORD, when wilt thou regard me?
A02852But where art thou?
A02852But wherefore is a sinner sayd to bee vnprofitable?
A02852But whither( O LORD) doest thou command to depart?
A02852By the way of iustice our great Sauiour only hath gone: none other but hee could euer say, Which of you could reprooue me of sinne?
A02852By whose appointment?
A02852Can this redemption which is of infinite value, bee restreined to any limits of offences?
A02852Dare vile dust, subiest to dispersion by euery puffe, presume to prouoke a LORD of such terrible Maiestie?
A02852Desirest thou then the death of a sinner?
A02852Did not holy Iob say, where shall I hide me from thy countenance because I haue sinned?
A02852Do sinnes make thee vnworthy of mercy?
A02852Doest thou beare thy selfe proud vpon confidence of thy power?
A02852Doest thou not pray to him to turne away his face from thy sinnes?
A02852Doest thou trust in GOD?
A02852Dost thou thinke that GOD will not be more mercifull then man?
A02852Dust and Ashes?
A02852Few indeed: For how many were in the whole world, when it was ouerwhelmed with waters?
A02852Filius?
A02852For if Esau could not finde repentance, albeit hee sought it with Teares; how reasonable may wee suspect our extreame late seeking for repentance?
A02852For in whom should I trust, but in him, who so loued mee?
A02852For of whom should I desire that which I want, but of him who hath giuen me that which I haue?
A02852For tell mee, if thy iu ● tice findeth a man condemned and vnder execution, what will it then doe?
A02852For to whom else shouldest thou resort?
A02852For were it not a dishonour to a King?
A02852For what could be giuen to him who wanted nothing?
A02852For what day?
A02852For what good will pardon doe mee, if presently I returne to my sinne againe?
A02852For what other remedie haue wee feeble wretches?
A02852For what stupendious stupiditie is it, to deferre the most weightie worke of repentance to a future time?
A02852For when men offend, if GOD were not mercifull, if hee were hard and vnwilling to exercise his mercie, what should they doe?
A02852For wherefore are iniuries and aduersities troublesome to thee?
A02852For wherefore did he turne thy heart from sinne?
A02852For wherefore else hast thou repaired the sinne of man, and not of Angels?
A02852For wherefore is remission of sinnes promised, if sinners may not enioy it?
A02852For who can answer the iust charge?
A02852For, because mercie proceedeth from goodnesse, and goodnesse is originally in GOD; who can be so mercifull as hee?
A02852GOD is our Redeemer: it is GOD who iustifieth, who can condemne?
A02852GOD is our patron and Aduocate: If GOD bee on our side who can bee against vs?
A02852Hast thou no more dexteritie in handling thy weapons?
A02852Hath not the same infinite goodnesse and loue sayd?
A02852He hath a long time bin calling thee to repentance, and thinkest to thou haue his mercy at the very first cal?
A02852He who forgaue 10000. talents, what may wee thinke he will not forgiue?
A02852Hee that forbeareth his vnrulie childe, will he also forbeare his vngracious seruant?
A02852Hee was slow to wrath, and wouldest thou haue him sodaine in mercie?
A02852Herein all are agreed, but wherein then lieth the difference?
A02852How acceptable then may we thinke this sacrifice to be, wherein so many vertues were conspicuous in the highest degree of perfection?
A02852How art thou so enamoured with our sinnefull soules, that thou wilt not turne the eyes of thy Maiesty from them?
A02852How can we be able, I will not say to expresse; but to vnderstand, to imagine thy sweet gentlenesse and loue?
A02852How canst thou say that I am not polluted?
A02852How come they so deare vnto thee, that neither danger nor want can seize vpon them?
A02852How commeth it, O LORD, that thou art so ready to heare vs?
A02852How hath my tongue galloped to destruction, euen vpon credite?
A02852How it stoppeth the streames?
A02852How little a portion haue we of him?
A02852How little relish haue they in those flashie vnsinewie pleasures, which breake the forces of the soule, and cast it into a drunken dreame?
A02852How long shall I bee as if I were, either not remembred, or little regarded?
A02852How louing a Father art thou to forsaken Orphanes?
A02852How manie are held in the yron chaines of sinne and the deuill, who neither bewaile, nor confesse, nor see their miserie?
A02852How many among the chosen people of GOD, when Elias could not espie one?
A02852How many in Sodome and the cities adioining to it, when they perished with fire?
A02852How many indignities and discontentments haue I therein buried?
A02852How many, when they were often captiuated, and finally ruined, and dispersed?
A02852How much more ready art thou to pardon, then to punish?
A02852How much more ready to grant thy pardon, then wee to desire it?
A02852How obdurate is my heart?
A02852How often hath his iustice taken the whip in hand, to chastice thy sinnes?
A02852How shal I know thee?
A02852How shall I euer winde my selfe out of this knotty labyrinth?
A02852How shall I free my selfe from the iawes of death?
A02852How shall I looke so good a Father in the face, beeing so lewd a child as would disthrone and destroy that good Father if I could?
A02852How shall I publish and praise the same?
A02852How shall I then partake of thy goodnesse?
A02852How shall I worthily either extoll or esteeme thee?
A02852How sottish thy sence?
A02852How standeth this with the square of Iustice?
A02852How vaine is thy confidence?
A02852How with the vile society which he is constrained to endure?
A02852If all the good which I either haue or expect floweth from thy most liberall hand, vpon whom else should I depend?
A02852If my ignorance bee so dull and heauy in my selfe, how shall I be of capacity to know thee?
A02852If thou LORD wilt bee extreame to marke what is done amisse: O LORD, who may abide it?
A02852In him who hath so often called, so long expected, so carefully perswaded mee?
A02852In him who is a Father, an Almighty Father?
A02852In him who is so mercifull, pitifull, louing, gentle, patient, and ready to forgiue,?
A02852In how wilde a chase doe my perplexed thoughts wander?
A02852In offering this sacrifice, and in presenting these merits, what can we feare?
A02852In this li ● e we may both dispose our selues, and incite others to blazon thy praise; but in the dungeon of death, who will thanke thee?
A02852In what cloud doest thou hide thy selfe?
A02852Indulsisti genti Domine, indulsisti: nunquid glorificatus es?
A02852Into euerlasting fire?
A02852Into what vaine hopes doest thou run?
A02852Is any like vnto the most high?
A02852Is any other like vnto him?
A02852Is he only blessed, or is he chieflie blessed whose sinnes are forgiuen?
A02852Is it not a greater blessing neuer to sinne, then to haue sinnes pardoned?
A02852Is it out of opinion of safetie?
A02852Is it then vpon small offenders?
A02852Is not hee more blessed who sinneth not at all?
A02852Is the cause heereof in thee?
A02852Is thine anger no lesse hard to quench now, then heeretofore it hath beene to kindle?
A02852It is hard indeed; but how is it iust?
A02852It is true indeed that their sensuall appetites present to them a thousand pleasures; but the reckoning being cast, what pleasures are they?
A02852Iustice hath proceeded slowlie, that sinners might haue time to repent; and must mercie foortwith gallop to them?
A02852Knowest thou not that rebellious ingratitude giueth limits to mercy?
A02852LORD, If thou beest my beginning and my end, whom else should I desire?
A02852Lastly, in whom should I trust but in him, who hath commanded me to approch to him, to trust in him?
A02852My sinnes are vpon me how then shall I liue?
A02852Nay, Is it possible that hee should forbeare thee?
A02852Now, this being the condition of my case, What rigour wilt thou further vse?
A02852O my GOD, wilt not thou relieue mee in these extremities?
A02852Or if he do, shall he euer attaine glorie by his atchieuement?
A02852Qui ● potest facere mundum de immundo?
A02852Quis appendit iti bus digitis molem terra?
A02852Quis potest facera mundum de immundo conceptis semine monne t ● qui solus es?
A02852Requirest thou griefe?
A02852Requirest thou punishment?
A02852Say, I pray thee: What is the worst that a sinner can feare?
A02852Seest thou not that he also is set against thee?
A02852Shall I say thou art a vertue?
A02852Shall man forgiue sooner and oftner then GOD?
A02852Shall not he who forgaue to one debtor 10000. talents, be alwayes willing to forgiue?
A02852Shall not hee whose arme is neuer shortned, be alwayes able to forgiue?
A02852Shall thy wrath still contend with thy mercie against me?
A02852Shall we now be despised, and neuer any despised before?
A02852Supposest thou thy selfe to be rapt vp into the third heauen?
A02852That his hand is rigorous vpon thee?
A02852The rich?
A02852The soule which is sensible of a needels point?
A02852Then shall that of the Prophet take place, Doest thou shew wonders among the dead?
A02852Thinkest thou he will fauour thee?
A02852Thou art not well assured to liue one houre, and darest thou make to thy selfe a prodigall promise of manie yeeres?
A02852Thou who hast alwaies beene slowe to wrath, art thou slow now to lay downe thy wrath?
A02852Thou who hast euer beene patient, art thou now become inflexible?
A02852To what end then did thy Wisedome create mee in this World?
A02852V. For in death no man remembreth thee: and who will giue thee thankes in the pit?
A02852VVhat euill can either assaile or approach you?
A02852VVhat good doe you not enioy?
A02852VVhat is more vsuall in noble natures, then to follow their owne fauours?
A02852VVhat wilt thou do more against me?
A02852VVhat?
A02852VVhat?
A02852VVhen Mary Magdalene was vniustlie reprooued by a censorious pharisee; she held silence; but what lost she thereby?
A02852VVho will despaire?
A02852VVhy sufferest thou me thus long to be vexed?
A02852VVilt thou also presse me downe with thine Almighty arme?
A02852Vntill the very houre of his encounter?
A02852WHom may we esteeme blessed in this life?
A02852What a punishment of losse is this?
A02852What auayleth it to haue a goodly hope of haruest in the blade, if it be blasted or otherwise destroyed in the eare?
A02852What comforts and delights breathe hourely from thee?
A02852What courage can behold thy fierce bended brow, and not bee astonished, not stroke downe with terrour?
A02852What death is so grieuous as this departing?
A02852What friends, what suit will hee make for his discharge?
A02852What is lightning but the flashes of pleasure in this life?
A02852What is the cause?
A02852What louely lookes doest thou cast vpon those whom thou encountrest?
A02852What man will desire or endure to serue his enemie, his fellow, or his seruant?
A02852What need I speake of his high humility; by which he would be accounted worse then Barabbas?
A02852What other accusers?
A02852What other euidence will thy iustice require?
A02852What profit is it that trees blossome fairely, if they neuer atteine perfection in the fruit?
A02852What sad seueritie will thy anger further execute vpon me?
A02852What shall I doe?
A02852What shall I say of thee?

A15013why should not hee fare well that hath much given him by God?
A15013why should you make such care to prepare for them?
A15013why will you thinke so hardly of your Brother?
A15013will not our hearts tell us?

A03694And how did God feede his people fourtie yeeres in the vvildernesse, when they could not plow the Earth, did not he plow the Heauens for bread?
A03694And how quickly shall( euen the best) forget themselues this way, if they be carelesse what passeth from them?

A03694For, are such plants of the Deuils se ● ting?
A03694For, did our repentance, or any worke of ours seeke and finde that comfortable alteration at Gods hands?
A03694For, haue you cared to make your Seruants, the Seruants of God, that they might be good Seruants to you?
A03694For, how can it be but that God should plague those that destroy his people, and abhorr ● those that conde ● ne his law?
A03694For, how haue I redeemed it; that is, bought it out of Satans hands, and the hand of sinne, for good employments?
A03694For, how vnwilling are they to come home to their heauenly Father by the Grace of Repentance, from whom they depart daily by the Errour of Sinne?
A03694For, if euery day vvere as our marriage- day, vvho vvould be vvearie?
A03694For, the speech is made to expresse the true meaning of the heart: and if that doe not, what shall?
A03694For, they that sing, are( commonly) merrie: and the Apostle Iames saith; Is any merry?
A03694For, to such what meanes remaine to reclaime them from their vaine conuersation?
A03694For, what can be more indifferent, then that hee who prepareth a pit for another, should fall( himselfe) into it?
A03694For, what drinking of healths, till men haue drunke themselues out of health, out of wit, and commonly out of common sense and honesty?

A03694For, what peace( as Iehu saide to Iehoram) whiles the whore domes of Iezabel and her witchcrafts are in such number?
A03694For, wherefore doe vvee loue a worldling, but because wee are in our disposition, worldlings?

A03694From whence are warres, saith Saint Iames, but from the lusts that fight in your members?
A03694Giue a small thing with a good heart, and it is well taken; but offer a better thing vnwillingly, and it is not regarded: and wherefore not regarded?
A03694Gods wisedome is( incomparably) great, and who is like him in knowledge?
A03694Gods?
A03694Gods?
A03694Haue not some laid but all vpon vaine and chargeable brauery from their Hat- string to their shooe- strings?
A03694Haue not some, hauing turned all to destruction with the riots of Dice and Gaming, turned beggars, who were Gentlemen well descended and left?
A03694Haue they not?
A03694Haue wee enemies?
A03694Haue you set them about Gods worke, on his day, as you are carefull to set them about your owne worke on other dayes?
A03694How can they but drinke themselues out of all, who drinke so much, and so continually day and night?
A03694How priuily vvill hee accuse him?
A03694How( then) can the Scriptures make vs perfect in all good works?
A03694How( then) can wee loue God, and hate the good that are so like him?
A03694I pray you, who did swagger more then Ismael, whose hand was against euery man?
A03694I say not soberly: for, do we not giue our tongues libertie to say any thing of our enemies, and of our betters, if they be our enemies?
A03694If no Lyer nor kinde of lye may be abidden by Christians, then is not the merrie lye tolerable ● nor the officious or profitable lye lawful?
A03694If such complaine of vntrusty Seruants and euill Ministers, whom can they blame but themselues?
A03694If vve reioyced in goodnesse, would wee delight to be vvhere vve shall heare little goodnes, and much euill?
A03694If you loue the loue of Christ with all your heart; who, or what shall separate you from it?
A03694In doing this, we are Gods seruants, and, is any too good or great to doe him seruice?
A03694In our owne dayes, doe not men, as in stealing ● so in coueting proceede from a pinne to a point; from small couetousnesse to large couetousnesse?
A03694Is it any credit to grace a theefe and robber?
A03694Is it not better to haue Lamps without store of Oyle, then to haue neyther Lamps nor Oyle; that is, neyther meanes nor meaning to attend Christ?
A03694Is it not to make them to call their sinne to remembrance, and their hearts to repentance?
A03694Is it not to shew what power he hath, both in his right and left arme, that the carelesse in our Land may feare and be humbled before his great glory?
A03694Is not he that is Lord of the bodie, Lord of the spirit also?
A03694Is not truth fallen in the streetes?
A03694Is the dropsie cured vvith a parcell of Land, with a portion of Money, or vvith a braue suite of apparell?
A03694Lastly, is it intolerable to tell lyes?
A03694Likewise, Christians, so farre as they were followers of their lusts ● how vntowardly, how negligently did they follow God?
A03694Lord haue mercy vpon vs, what a thing is this?
A03694Lust is a dropsie of the minde; and will things helpe it, that belong onely to the bodie, and can( properly) satisfie the minde in nothing?
A03694Many say, Who will shew vs any good?
A03694May we not lye to doe good?
A03694Meane while, whose Martyrs bee such?
A03694Must hee not be sanctified?
A03694Nay, who can abide that that so prouoketh the Lord, that he can not abide vs?
A03694Now are these fit mates for a Christian to dwell with?
A03694Now fire well gouerned, will warme vs, but misguided, vndoe vs; and who will not looke to his fire?
A03694Now he began to thinke, and in such debate with himselfe, to say; How many hyred Seruants of my Fathers haue bread enough?
A03694Now if an vnregenerate heart in one trulie renued, did so soone and dangerously yeeld to euill, what may the best iudge of his heart at this day?
A03694Now is it necesssary for the King often to reade in the word, to teach him to rule?
A03694Now that which is so entire and independent, what lacketh it that it hath not?
A03694Now what is it to leaue all for Christ, but to abandon the world, and all worldly desires, that vve may be Christs?
A03694Now, can a dead man raise his owne body?
A03694Now, can not a man abide the Diuell, and will hee agree with his vncleane brood?
A03694Now, if it be crueltie in the Ministers of Iustice to roote them out, how can it be but hee must be cruell, who comma ● nds them to be rooted out?
A03694Now, is God incomparably wise?
A03694Now, may no sinne bee spared, not offender boren with?
A03694O good Lord, shall vnrepentant liars neuer enter into heauen?
A03694O( then) wouldest thou be without feare of the power?
A03694Of an excellent Prophet we read, that his life claue to the dust; but vvhat follovveth?
A03694One saith well; would any man that is sober and in his right minde, surfet of his meate because hee hath a Pill in his Closet?
A03694Or shall wee care who disprayseth our song, so he like it?
A03694Or, are they blessed whom God correcteth?
A03694Or, haue Men committed a fault?
A03694Or, to speake more to purpose; Doth not the Lord bring to light that which is within, by that which is without?
A03694Or, why doe they with so lost a conscience put off repentance, as if that were in their gift, which is not theirs but Gods to giue?
A03694Or, will it hurt thee that God loueth thee?
A03694Salomon sayth, He that keepeth his mouth, by ordering aright the tongue in his mouth, keepeth his life; and who would lose his life that may keepe it?
A03694Secondly, a good man will make choyse of his company which he vseth seldome; and shall he be carelesse of the Familie which hee must vse daily?
A03694Secondly, the proud robbe God of his glorie; and shall the spoylers of God be spared?
A03694Secondly, they that are lusts seruants, will doe any thing at lusts bidding: and, what did this lost Sonne with- hold from his lusts which he serued?
A03694Secondly, vvho can abide that whereby Satan raigneth in the heart of him who is possessed of it, as in his Kingdome?
A03694Secondly, we may saue a soule from Hell: and, who can doe too much, or be too good to deliuer his brother from perdition?
A03694Seeing( then) wee lay forth our hearts thus in these bodily actions, who will not say that our heart is as these are?
A03694Shall I need to goe into a farre Countrie for examples?
A03694Shall a stranger be receiued, and shall hee that oweth the house stand without?
A03694Shall not his direction be perfect that hath all perfection?
A03694Shall strange affections finde no deniall, and will wee not returne to the Lord of our hearts, that his louing correction may make vs whole?
A03694Sixtly, who can abide that that shutteth out of heauen, and casteth into hell?
A03694Smite Ammon, kill him, feare not for haue not I commanded?
A03694So the ● ● ngue, well ordered, will comfort vs; but set at large, shame vs: who( then) will giue such a member libertie?
A03694So this same Prophet hated, but whom?
A03694So, if we hate lying, if our heart rise against it, if we thinke of it as of an enemie, would wee loue liars?
A03694So, you would haue a good family, when your care is not to graft it with good Seruants?
A03694Some esteeme those to be the onely wise men, who can goe beyond others in wit and fetches: but what was Achitophel?
A03694That is, doe they not hoord vp corne, where God hath said, and the poore mans hunger doth say, Sell corne?
A03694The Kings Chayre is kept cleane, and shall the holinesse of the Lord be violated?
A03694The lust of daunces, and lustfull after them, how doe they martyr their bodies, and fill the soule vvith vvickednesse?
A03694The lust of drunkennesse, vvhat vvounds procureth it, vvhat stripes, and scratches, and desperate stabbes?
A03694The one doth it with intended profit, the other suffereth it with apparent hurt; and who hath the greater sinne?
A03694Then hee came to himselfe, and said: How many hired Seruants at my Fathers haue bread enough, and I dye for hunger?
A03694Therefore where it may be Master, what good can follow?
A03694They that are taken with the net of the whorish woman, will they not, for her sake, bring all to a morsell of bread?
A03694Thirdly, all things are vile to that a man doth most affect: for, if wee loue God best, what will vvee not doe for him?
A03694Thirdly, what is man fallen, but a rebellious creature ● proud by Nature, and stubborne to Grace?
A03694Thirdly, what is perfect but that which is entire of it selfe, and needeth nothing?
A03694This is the good Subiects hope: but take this hope from him, and what is his life, but a life of sorrow and paine, or of death, which were better?
A03694This young man had riches, but was he rich?
A03694Thus Dauid vvill doe wisely: and wherein wisely?
A03694To lye is a base thing, but truth is noble: and who can endure, that it should be sayd to his face, Thou lyest, or, You lye?
A03694What Master will allow a Seruant, who in some things shall serue him carefully,& in other some be carelesse of his commaundements?
A03694What better to haue our fill of Quailes, and they to come out againe at our nosthrils?
A03694What had Christ from that scornefull woman of Samaria toward her saluation?
A03694What is the cause of this?
A03694What lost Obed- Edom by making his house the Tabernacle of the Lords Arke?
A03694What made Ephraim to repent?
A03694What maruaile, when on the Sabbath, vvee drumme against God, hee, on the Sabbath also should thunder against vs?
A03694What prophaneth Gods Sabbath ● so much, as the lust of couetousnesse, or lust of vvantonnesse?
A03694What shall I say of our Corne- masters?
A03694What vvill you say to the Midwiues and Rahabs lie?
A03694When did iniquitie more multiply in Israel, then when there was no Ruler in it?
A03694When vvee are filled with the Quailes of vvhat wee vvould haue, vvee may thinke our selues vvell: but how vvell?
A03694Why then should hee not be serued with both, who made both?
A03694Will a man that knowes not his estate, suspect it?
A03694Will a thiefe steale before him that he knoweth shall be his iudge?
A03694Wouldest thou haue defence from the Magistrate?
A03694Wouldest thou liue with good Subiects?
A03694Wouldest thou take Christ part?
A03694Wouldest thou( then) be thought and accounted one that is desirous to leaue sinne?
A03694Wouldest thou( then) blush to be a Thiefe?
A03694Yet how was her faire cloathing with grasse soyled with dirt, in many flouded Medowes within the Land this yeere?
A03694Yet what was that to the generall inconformitie that still beareth sway?
A03694You vvould not( willingly) keepe a theefe in your House: and, are you not afraid to keepe in your cloth and seruice a common blasphemer?
A03694You will say, what is this to the poore?
A03694You will say; our brother may be in necessitie, and may we not lie a little to helpe him in his necessitie?
A03694[ How many hired seruants of my Fathers haue bread enough?]
A03694and God the Iudge, by Abraham, be ● ore tha ● ● Shall not the Iudge of the whole ● arth doe rig ● t?
A03694and better to doe some good, then to professe all wickednes?
A03694and better to seeme holie, then neyther to seeme, nor be?
A03694and can a good childe be merry and glad to be contrary to his righteous father?
A03694and can he, that suspects it not, fall into thoughts about it?
A03694and can we from a wilde hedge of vnruly people fet the Graffes& Sciences of good Officers and good Seruants in a Familie?
A03694and did not he that made the soule, for his seruice, make the body for his glory?
A03694and did not the Maides helpe the matter?
A03694and doe not proud speeches, countenances, goings, and apparrell, signifie a vaine& proud heart?
A03694and doth not the number of them increase yet more and more, who cleaue to the Ieroboam of Rome, whom we may( therefore) truely call fallers away?
A03694and eating with no remembrance of God; vsing Sauces to let downe excesse ● not to help the stomack, but to oppresse it?
A03694and hee that seekes to take away his neighbours name and life by a lie, should( himselfe) loose his owne credit and life for a lie?
A03694and honour our Master when vvee reuile his seruants?

A03694and if the eye be darke, how great is that darknes?
A03694and in the planting of his Familie, will hee be carelesse what Seruants and Officers he doth bring into it?

A03694and is it a sinne to make the King glad with such wickednes?
A03694and is it not as necessarie for common persons, and all inferiours( that haue more time) to meditate in it, that they may learne to obay?

A03694and shall a Beggar, that liueth of the Almes- basket, be proud of the meate that is giuen him?
A03694and shall vvee spend our time in the company of beggarly Christians that can not helpe vs to God, nor any vvay furnish vs for heauen?
A03694and shall we account it so small a matter to lye for a commoditie, nay to face and lye for nothing?
A03694and shall we not tremble to doe euill in his sight who shall iudge the world?
A03694and should not this terrifie wretched and prodigious Swearers?

A03694had they not rather part vvith the person of Iacob, then with the portion of their Father Laban?
A03694haue we not for a little perishing wealth sould the life of our Seruant, and the life of our owne bowels to the Diuell?
A03694haue we not for this corrupt reward, with cruell hands, euen shed the bl ● ● d of our Seruant, and the bloud of our owne deare Childe?
A03694he speaketh of the rebukes that fell vpon him, no doubt because himselfe was a rebuker: but whom rebuked he, and whose faults?
A03694hee hath payd for both, and will he not be glorified in both?
A03694him, that is, Christ his Sauiour, and the bloud of Christ, his saluation, for money?

A03694or, can he not?
A03694or, can they hope to be spared, and to prosper that so rebell against him?
A03694or, can you be more moued for a litle perishing wealth, then iustly vexed for Gods dishonour?
A03694or, how( rather) haue I wasted and powred forth the good houres of time to vaine pleasures, to idle talke, to much sleepe,& wantonnes?
A03694or, is it a greater sinne to robbe you of your goods, then it is to robbe God of his glory?
A03694or, is it our griefe that we are Gods delight?
A03694or, is the Lord prouoked for these onely, to bring great necessitie vpon a Land?

A03694set God in place, and his great power before thee: or, though thou hast long put off, wouldst thou, at last, enter the way of grace?
A03694shall that that delighteth him trouble vs?
A03694shall they burne, world without end, in the tormenting fire of hell?
A03694that a witty man should kill an honest man?
A03694that is, what daintie and continuall eating?
A03694then his direction is safe, and what hee commendeth to be wise, is wise: or, hath he all knowledge?
A03694then how can we do better then to learne of him?
A03694then take part with a Christian: or, vvouldest thou receiue Christ?
A03694then with their Swine or Farmes?
A03694then, it held him: for he said; What will yee giue mee, and I will deliuer him vnto you?
A03694to God?
A03694to make the markets to faile, and peoples hearts, with failing, to looke for no mercy, nor bowels of mercy from such obdurate couetousnesse?

A03694vvould a man, when his prouision is spent, goe vvhere is no market, and not vvhere hee may helpe himselfe with varietie of Markets?
A03694was not he counted wise?
A03694what did the Lord then?
A03694when mens actions are worldly, doe we not say that they haue a worldly heart?
A03694while they are at their sports, they will not haue to doe vvith God: or, would they dare to speake and worke such vncleannesse, and God so neare?
A03694who instead of skirmishing with sin, make frayes with their brethren, and draw vpon their names with a lying tongue?
A03694who iustifieth but God?
A03694who, or what shall make you to forsake it?
A03694will wee not take h ● ede how we heare?
A03694without punishment, and recompence?
A03694without terrour to the wicked, and honour to the good?
A03694would wee suffer them?
A03694wouldest thou( then) doe any thing for God?
A03694yet what mercilesse worldling will not doe this villanie?
A03694● f Noah be drunken, who shall reprooue Cham?
A39682( 1) That either he will supply, or sanctifie your wants;( 2) That you shall have so much as God sees fit for you, and doth this trouble you?
A39682( 1) Who ever did so?
A396821. why is their discourse so frothy and unprofitable when they meet?
A3968213. he desires a sign v. 17. and after that another, v. 36. and what was the end of all this?
A396823. how o ● ten refreshed, warmed, and quickned by their company?
A3968231, 32. but shall I doe so?
A3968241. and will he not hear me?
A396825. doth God take the Assyrian as a staffe in his hand to beat his people with?
A396827. doth not shame cover your faces?
A39682Am I willing to feel what they felt for sin?
A39682And hast feared continually because of the oppressor, as if he were ready to devour, and where is the fury of the Oppressor?
A39682And is it well done then to repine and droop because your father consu ● ts more the advantage of ▪ your souls, than the pleasing of your humours?
A39682And is not this such?
A39682And what is the true cause and reason of all this; but the neglecting of their hearts?
A39682And why my Son wilt thou be ravished with a strange Woman, and embrace the bosome of a stranger?
A39682Are not the least sinners there filled with the fulness of wrath?
A39682Are you not sure of that?
A39682Are you sure from Scripture grounds that a good man may ▪ not relapse again and again into the same sin?
A39682Besides, is not my Conscience as a thousand witnesses?
A39682But I may dye for want?
A39682But grant it be so indeed as you affirm, must it needs follow, that the root of the matter is not in you?
A39682But is the Majesty of Heaven a little one too?
A39682But what matter is it, w ● en thy soul is in Heaven; whether it were let out at thy mouth, or at thy throat?
A39682But what say you to pardon of sin?
A39682Can I look Christ in the face at the Day of Iudgment, if I desert him now?
A39682Can I so easily cast off the socie ● y and company of the Saints, and give the right hand of fellowship to the wicked?
A39682Dare I draw the same conclusion upon all others that have been as much, yea more afflicted then my self?
A39682Dare I violate my conscience to save my flesh?
A39682Did God record these examples for my imi ● ation, or for my warning?
A39682Did Iesus Christ serve me so?
A39682Do I owe no reverence to my self?
A39682Do not you know the Sun still keeps on his course in the Heavens even in full and closs weather, when you can not see it?
A39682Do the enemies carry away the good figgs, even the best among the people into captivity?
A39682Do their enemies want malice, power, or opportunity?
A39682Do you find the marks of an absolute total and final desertion upon your own Spirits, that you are so apt to conclude yours to be such?
A39682Do you find your heart inclined to forsake God?
A39682Do you well to question his care and love upon every new exigence; say, have you not been ashamed of this formerly?
A39682Doe the consolations of God seem small to you?
A39682Dost thou not make conscience of private duties, and set thy self as before the Lord in them?
A39682Doth every big word of proud dust and ashes make thee afraid?
A39682Doth he feed and clothe his enemies, and will he forget his children?
A39682Doth he not regard what evil befals them?
A39682Doth he not see my waies and count all my steps?
A39682Doth he not see my waies, and count all my steps?
A39682Doth it become the children of such a Father to distrust his all- sufficiency, or repine against any of his Dispensations?
A39682Doth religion any way countenance or patronize the sinful practises of its professors, or doth it not rather impartially and severely condemn them?
A39682Doth thy heart yet swell?
A39682Fear not their fear: But how shall we help it?
A39682Hath the Lord forsaken his Churches?
A39682Hath ● in any such delight as this?
A39682Have I been a wilderness unto you,& c. or as Christ said to the Disciples, Since I was with you, lacked ye any thing?
A39682Have I seriously considered the terrible Scripture Comminations against back- sliders?
A39682Have not many Saints stumbled upon this stone before thee?
A39682Have you forgot what necessities and straits even a David hath suffered?
A39682He answered, Did I ever tell you that I was immortel?
A39682He shutteth out my prayer: and how doth this work?
A39682He that seriously puts such questions as these: what shall I do to be saved?
A39682He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
A39682Here were a company of formal hypocrits, as is evident by that expression[ as my people] like them, but not of them: and what made them so?
A39682How a Christian may keep his heart from distrusting God, or repining against him when outward wants are eith ● r felt, or feared?
A39682How a Christian may keep his heart from pride and carnal security under the smiles of providence, and confluence of Creature comforts?
A39682How a Christian may keep his heart from revengful motions, under the greatest injuries and abuses from men?
A39682How a Christian under great afflictions may keep his heart from repining or desponding under the hand of God?
A39682How a Christian when strongly sollicited by the Devil to sin, may keep his heart from yielding to the temptation?
A39682How can I part with such lovely companions as these have been?
A39682How fruitful sweet and comfortable would all Ordinances and Duties be to us if our hearts were better kept?
A39682How long?
A39682How long?
A39682How many times have they looked into the Word, and then into their hearts?
A39682How much more will the Angels come post from Heaven to receive and transfer the praying Soul it self?
A39682How often have I fasted and prayed with them?
A39682How severely hath the Great God declared his wrath from Heaven against heart- wickedness?
A39682How the heart may be kept from relapsing under the greatest sufferings for religion?
A39682How the heart may be kept meek and patient under great crosses and provocations?
A39682I desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ: Did the Soul and body dye together as Beryllus taught?
A39682I would never endure to see it exposed to such contempt will proud dust and ashes venture death, yea Hell, rather then a blot upon their name?
A39682I, even I am ● e that comforteth you, who art thou that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall dye?
A39682If God be a God of so much mercy, how can I abuse so good a G ● d?
A39682If God be for us, who can be against us?
A39682If God be not with his people, how is it they are not swallowed up quick?
A39682If great troubles and afflictions be marks of Gods hatred, why should not impunity and constant prosperity be tokens of his love?
A39682If it be bad now, it might have been worse; hath God denyed thee the comforts of this life?
A39682If such a liberty were indulged to us, not to be dissolved till we dissolve our selves; when should we say with S. Paul, I desire to be dissolved?
A39682If the presence of a grave man will compose us to seriousness, how much more the presence of an holy God?
A39682If thou art of such a fearful and timerous spirit, how is it that thou fearest not to disobey the flat commands of J ● sus Christ?
A39682If when faith fails, Sight should not immediately succeed, what should become of the unbodied Soul?
A39682Iob was the Mirrour of patience, yet how was his heart discomposed by trouble?
A39682Ionah was a good man, and yet how pettish was his heart under affliction?
A39682Is it for the honour of Religion,( think you) that Christians should be as timerous as Hares, to start at every sound?
A39682Is it indeed for the Saints advantage to be weaned from the loves and delights of ensnaring worldly vanities?
A39682Is it not too shameful an undervaluing of the great God?
A39682Is it pleasant to feel the wounds and throbs of Conscience?
A39682Is not eternal life worth the suffering of a moments pain?
A39682Is not the publick interest of Christ and religion infinitely more, then any private interest of my own?
A39682Is not your repentance and care renued, as often as your guilt is renued?
A39682Is there any content inventing a passion?
A39682Is there any little Hell to torment little sinners in?
A39682Is this a due requital of his love, who is pleased so much to concern himself in your welfare?
A39682Look over these ten special benefits, weigh them in a just ballance; are they small matters?
A39682Lord, when shall this blessed day come?
A39682May you not be mistaken about the decay of grace, and fading of your affections?
A39682My father is about a design of love upon my soul, and do I well to be angry with him?
A39682My tumultuous thoughts and passions where is your Commission?
A39682Next, I shall give you some rational account, why Christians should make this the great business of their lives, to keep their hearts?
A39682Nothing will star ● le an upright hear ● more than this: What, shall I give way to a customary wandring of heart from God?
A39682Now if mercies work contrarily upon my heart, what cause have I to be afraid that they come not to me in love?
A39682O Father of the fatherless and judge of widows, nutri, serva, doce, nourish, keep, and teach them: or art thou troubled for their Souls?
A39682O Ierusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness that thou maist be saved, how long shall vain thoughts lodge within thee?
A39682O how little of their time is spent in the closet, in searching, humbling, and quickning their hearts?
A39682O how many hours have some Professors spent in hearing, praying, reading, conferring?
A39682O how will men venture life and limb for a fading crown swim through seas of blood to a throne?
A39682O my God?
A39682O my Soul, answer seriously; wouldst thou be willing to reap the fruit of vanity, in the world to come?
A39682O naughty heart, vain heart, couldst thou not abide by the fountain of delights?
A39682O what a change will a few moments make upon your condition?
A39682O what discords, jarrings, censurings, are here?
A39682O what mischief may the discoveries of your ● ears b ● fore them do?
A39682O what would thousands now in Hell, give to change conditions with me?
A39682O when will you beware of Sathans devices?
A39682O why doe you mischief your own Souls by other mens examples?
A39682Oh how many have been Coached to Hell in the Chariots of earthly pleasures, whilest others have been whipt to Heaven by the rod of affliction?
A39682Oh what madness is this?
A39682Or as dying Milius, when one asked him whether he were willing to dye?
A39682Or is he a wicked man?
A39682Or may a man safely rely upon its testimony after so many discoveries of the fallibility of it?
A39682Prayer is the best out- let to fear; where is the Christian that can not set his probatum est to this direction?
A39682Professors, would you recover your credit?
A39682Seeing thou our God hast given us such a deliverance as this, should we again break thy Commandments?
A39682Seriously propound this question to thy own heart, have I got any good by the wrong and injuries received, or have I not?
A39682Shall I lift up proud dust above the great God?
A39682Shall I run upon a certain sin, to shun a probable danger?
A39682Shall I take so glorious an attribute as the mercy of God is, and abuse it unto sin?
A39682Shew you the visions of darkness?
A39682Should he leave you but a few dayes to the buffe ● ing of Satan and his blasphemous injections?
A39682Should such a man as I flee?
A39682Sion said the Lord hath forsaken me, my God hath forgotten me: was it so indeed?
A39682So let him curse ▪ because the Lord hath said unto him, curse David; Who shall then say, wherefore hast thou done so?
A39682State viri, quae causa viae?
A39682Still it hath been preserved from, supported under, or delivered out of all its troubles: and is it not as dear to God as ever?
A39682Suppose your husband or child had lost all at Sea, and should come to you in raggs; could you deny the relation?
A39682T is the pride, passion, and earthliness of our hearts that hath spoiled Christian fellowship: whence is it?
A39682The Lord asked him, who was his harbinger?
A39682The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?
A39682The assured Christian may smile with contempt upon all his enemies, and say, is this the worst that you can do?
A39682The fourth Argument is drawn from the smalness of the sin;''T is but a little one, a small matter, a trifle; who would stand upon such niceties?
A39682The less the sin, the less the inducement to commit it: What, shall I break with God for a trifle?
A39682The third Argument by which Satan tempteth to sin, is taken from the gain and profit arising out of it: Why so nice and scrupulous?
A39682Then said I, I am cast out of thy sight, and may not you be mistaken in this mat ● er as well as they?
A39682Think you the Lord cares not to break his childrens hearts, and his own promise too?
A39682This evil is of the Lord, why should I wait for him any longer?
A39682This very consideration quieted Iob, Eli, David,& Hezekiah, that the Lord did it, was enough to them: and why should it not be so to us?
A39682Thou tellest me Satan that sin is pleasant; be it so: but are the gripes of Conscience, and the flames of Hell so too?
A39682True, but though it fall not under his approving?
A39682Upon this account many an upright heart hath been laid low before God: O What an heart have I?
A39682Were it not better you sh ● uld dye, than that the World should be prejudiced against Christ by your example?
A39682What comfort is there in life, liberty, or friends, when peace is taken away from the inner man?
A39682What if they be not so quick and ravishing as at first?
A39682What loathness to depart?
A39682What reproach and dishonour shall I pour upon Christ and religion by deserting him at such a time as this?
A39682What say ye Sirs?
A39682What think ye Sirs?
A39682What though God do not distinguish in his outward Dispensations betwixt his own and others?
A39682What''s the reason your hearts are so shufling, especially in secret duties?
A39682What?
A39682When God had confirmed the Promise to him, to build him an house, and not reject him as he did Saul, he goes in before the Lord and saith, who am I?

A64249And if there be so much comfort in weak faith, how much is there in strong?

A64249And should not great love be a great load- stone of love?
A64249And whilest we were in a dead sleep, how carefully did he provide this heavenly Manna, and spread it about the tents of the Church in all ages?
A64249And who can deny but the corruption and poison of the soule and spirit, is farre more poisonfull and mortall than poison of the flesh?
A64249Art thou an enemie to Jesus, an hinderer of any of his people in their way to Canaan?
A64249Art thou but a door- keeper in Gods house?

A64249Doe the enemies come out against us as strong as pillars, as furious and fiery as fire it self?
A64249Dost thou thirst for pardon of sin, for grace of sanctification, for sence of Gods love, for assurance of eternal life?
A64249Doth Christ undertake thy sinne, he sees not heaven till he die for it?
A64249Findest thou emptinesse or want of grace?
A64249For a signet, because it is most precious, is most carefully kept; and being upon the arme of Christ, what arme can pull us off from him?
A64249For can a tender father see an arme or a legge of his first- born cut off?
A64249For further than Christ was found and seen in it, it was then but as an empty shell without a kernell: and how much more now?
A64249For if the shadow of this precious bloud must be so preserved, so carefully saved in a costly vessel: how much more ought the bloud it self?
A64249For what had the Israelites deliverance, victory, lives been worth in the wildernesse without food and Manna, which kept them in life and strength?

A64249How should he be a light to others that himselfe is in darknesse?
A64249How strong will it be, and how constant?
A64249How was he then a Lamb slaine from the beginning of the World, before the Jewes were in being?
A64249How was the Holy Ghost deceived, yea, and holy men, who have studied in Gods Law night and day?
A64249How were they Gods?
A64249How?
A64249How?
A64249Humane reason will never pray, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A64249I am cast away out of thy sight: So the other cries upon the Crosse, My God my God why hast thou forsaken me?
A64249If the Priest must not weep, how could they seriously repent of their sins?
A64249If the shadows of these holy things might not be cast to dogs: is it nothing to expose to them the body and substance it self?
A64249If they be pure as the Sunne, faire as the Moone, what is he?
A64249If they shall cry out, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A64249In bodily famine how farre will men run and ride for Corn?

A64249Is Christ the Pillar?
A64249Is Christ the true Ioshua?
A64249Is any thing impossible to God?
A64249Is it not reason that the more it pleaseth the Lord to become ours, the more we should become his?
A64249Is not a little leaven enough to soure a whole lump?
A64249Is not a little serpent a serpent; or a little poison poison?
A64249Is not he for us under God?
A64249Is the bloud of Christ so precious?
A64249Many are afraid least the sound of their bells should be heard too much, and that it would disgrace them to be counted diligent Preachers?
A64249Master to whom shall we goe?
A64249Might he not mourne for his wife?
A64249Nay the basest sort made mouthes and scorned them both: And are there not now such as would scorne out the truth of grace were it possible?
A64249Now if one sight of faith in this our absence from Christ be so joyful a thing: what shall the sight of fruition doe in his presence?
A64249Now what a joy is it to the beleeving soule to see God a father look towards it as a father to his first- born?
A64249Now what desert or merit could there be in the first Adam to be followed with grace in his flying from it?
A64249Now whether of us agree with Moses?
A64249Oh hell where is thy victory?
A64249Oh how rich in grace hadst thou been by knowing this season?
A64249Oh now what a sweet Sermon doth this one type contain of the whole sum and marrow of the Gospel?
A64249Oh sin where is thy sting?
A64249Oh who would deal thus with his enemy, but he that hath an Ocean of mercy?
A64249Or be idle in speech, wanton in behaviour, carelesse of his course, or company?
A64249Or how dare he( if he could) pray; How can he keep watch with God, or over his People, or over himselfe?
A64249Or what is it that strikes the body with such contagious sickness, but the infection and sicknesse of the soule?
A64249Or who say that God is in no such society where any pollution is?
A64249Ought not great benefits become great binders?
A64249Scornest thou this holy oyle in thy selfe or others?
A64249Secondly, for the whole doctrine and religion of Popery, how plausible is it to the natural man?
A64249Seeing all of us in this wildernesse are stung with the old Serpent, what are we to doe to be cured?
A64249Seeing there was so much businesse in legall cleansing of the least foulenesse; how carefull were the Jewes to avoid those foulnesse?
A64249Seemes it not good reason to choose, defend, and stick unto our forefathers religion?
A64249Shall Niniveh condemne Judea for not acknowledging a greater than Jonah; and shall it not condemne us not repenting?
A64249Shall any say, Is it not a little one?
A64249Should not strong cords of Gods love draw us strongly to love our God?
A64249So if an humble soul( suppose the Jaylor) shall come to the Minister as Paul or Silas; Sirs, what may I doe to be saved?
A64249Suppose thou haddest power above Joshua the type, art thou stronger than the true Joshua?
A64249That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not the man?
A64249The Hebrew could say, who made thee a judge?
A64249The Jew purged out all leaven, and spared none, not a morsell or a crum: And shall not a Christian count every sin a pollution, and hatefull to God?
A64249The Lords liberality in giving thee( not a sixth day, but) six whole dayes wherein to gather earthly Manna; and wilt thou encroach his day too?
A64249The spawne of a Serpent are Serpents; and what are we but the spawn, the seed of Adam?
A64249The theefe on the Crosse asking Christ to remember him in his kingdome, Augustine askes him: What Royalty doest thou see?
A64249Their glory was eclipsed in the captivity, and where be now any of Davids race according to the flesh?
A64249Then how dares a man that stands to judge between the Lord and his people, scandalize or scorn such as endeavour most to be clean?
A64249This is to be a Christian, to be anointed as Christ was?
A64249Thou art no drunkard, or great swearer, but art thou a companion of such not reproving them?
A64249Thy sinne repented of held Christ, an innocent, out of heaven till he died for it: but where shall ungodly and impenitent sinners appear?
A64249To move us to cease from our sinnes; for who would goe on to provoke so good a God, that still prevents us with love and mercy?
A64249To what end name I these follies, but by Popish and wicked superstition to condemn our heavinesse in Gods Commandements?
A64249Unbeleefe is full of repinings and murmurings: Oh how shall I be provided for, in this or that?
A64249V. Is Christ this Pillar of Cloud and Fire?
A64249Was not Festus a wise man, and a prudent Governour?
A64249Was the Sonne lesse faithfull?
A64249Was there any diference between this and other Clouds?
A64249Was there any sence or reason to be conceived in all this counsel and ordinance of God in healing thus his people?
A64249Was there now so great faith in Israel?
A64249Was there so much power in the bloud of the type; and not much more in the bloud of the truth?
A64249What a fearfull thing is it to come as most men do, not considering the Lords body?
A64249What a marvellous thing is it, that a Pillar of fire should sit upon the Tabernacle, and not burn it?
A64249What a strange thing, that a Pillar of fire must cool the Israelites, and save them from fire?
A64249What authority can an Oracle have in a drunken mans mouth, which can not but use to speake leud things?
A64249What can a Serpent cast out but poyson?
A64249What do they else than cast away the kernell to gnaw upon the shell, or as a mad man, who casts away the graine, and choakes himselfe with the husks?
A64249What easier faith than to believe as the Church doth, no matter what; without any knowledge or faith of their own?
A64249What garments must we put on?
A64249What had it been better, if all the congregation had taken part with a Leper, if the Priest pronounced him uncleane?
A64249What had it been to have passed the oppressours of Egypt, and to have been swallowed up of the sea?
A64249What hope hath he to be taught by the Spirit, that must give lawes to the Spirit of God?
A64249What if a man applaud and commend thee for an honest man, a good neighbour, a just man, if He judge thee a Leper?
A64249What if he had never so much power in teaching, if he were impotent in defending?
A64249What is gold, silver, silk, pearles; to righteousnesse, holynesse, life, immortality and glory?
A64249What kind of Cloud was this?
A64249What may I doe thus to receive the whole Lamb?
A64249What meanes?
A64249What means may we use for the attaining of water out of this Rock?
A64249What need we be at any paines to read, study, and meditate in the book of God night and day, as the Saints have done?
A64249What reason but they may serve a Customer upon the Sabbath, so they come to Church?
A64249What reason hath he to spare us?
A64249What reason he should be so strict, lesse reason they should be as strict as he?
A64249What seemed more diametrally or directly contrary to this promise, yet hindered not but furthered it?
A64249What was the use of this cloudy Pillar?
A64249What was this Preacher to ours?
A64249What were their meanes to ours?
A64249What will this babler fay?
A64249What wise man would drink a draught of poyson for the sweet taste of it?
A64249What wiser men in the world than the Philosophers and Stoicks of Athens?
A64249When did he revile, rebuke, hate?
A64249When do we receive whole Christ?
A64249When heardest thou this first- born brother to swear or lye?
A64249When the Israelite comes to Moses and asketh, Oh what shall I doe to be saved from death, being so deadly stung?
A64249When was he ashamed of thy cause, of thy Crosse, yea or curse?
A64249Whence are so many tumults?
A64249Whence issue these but from a wicked and impenitent heart?
A64249Where be they that will see no Church, if they see any uncleannesse?
A64249Where is our free will to good?
A64249Wherein he said, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A64249Wherein was this cloudy pillar a type of Christ?
A64249While he sits at the wine or strong drink, how can he sit at his study?
A64249Who can say, my faith is strong enough, which is ever imperfect in the best, who know but in part, and believe but in part?
A64249Who can stand before envy?
A64249Who is it that is not a Leper from the wombe?
A64249Who would not whore, swear, prophane the Sabbath, resist Magistracy, riot,& c. if for a little money he may have licence?
A64249Who would play with a deadly Serpent, or make a jest of his own death?
A64249Who would put Aqua vitae, or Balm water, in a fusty and stinking bottle?
A64249Why Serpents?
A64249Why are we unthankfull?
A64249Why called fiery Serpents?
A64249Why doe we stand in our own light, if the truth of the Deitie hath in this our age attained to maturity?
A64249Why doth the Lord thus?
A64249Why fiery?
A64249Why stinging Serpents?
A64249Why stinging?
A64249Why?
A64249Would a man know whether he have received of this spirit for his office?
A64249Would a man spread a table for dogs or swine?
A64249Would he be like us in every thing, even in our evils, sinne onely excepted?
A64249Would it not go to his heart to see him dismembred?
A64249Wouldest thou have God answer thee?
A64249Yea, his own words might seem to imply a sundering, when he saith; Why hast thou for saken me?
A64249and consequently what a prop and stay of our faith?
A64249and how much more should Christians be to avoid the morall?
A64249get ye hence; what have ye to do here?
A64249or cast darts and fire- brands about him to burn himself and others, and say, Am I not in sport?
A64249or drink up the poyson of a Serpent in merriment?
A64249or what a short ● et- wand is natural reason to measure divine things by?
A64249should not we be like him in grace, to be like him in glory?
A64249to make it a member of an harlot?
A64249what a goade and spurre to drive us to Jesus Christ, in whose name alone we can be saved?
A64249what a pregnant testimony and vaticinie is it alone of the death and passion of Jesus Christ, as also of the vertue and merit of the same?
A64249what dost thou but foam out thy own shame?
A64249what if thou seest armies of enemies, of discouragements?
A64249what may I doe to be rid of this Serpent, and of that, of this sin and of that?
A64249what may I doe to be saved?
A64249what questions move they to him?
A64249where should we lie if our Lord did not lift us up, and beare us up?
A64249whilst he slept so fast in the night, as scarce an Angel could waken him, and brought him through the sleepie watch?
A25829( which Psalm is a Prophecy of Christ) he cryes out bitter 〈 ◊ 〉 My God, my God; why hast thou forsaken me?
A2582918. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?
A2582922. speaking of the Hypocrites ● Why, they had many prayers, and did many good works, are they forgetters of God?
A258293, 4. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?
A2582935. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
A258297. the latter end, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
A258297. ve?
A258297. what was it that kept him from Christ?
A258297. you have him speaking of the righteous Judge, and saith he, Shall not God avenge his own Elect, which cry day and night unto him?
A25829Again thirdly, What cause have you to admire at the goodness of the Lord thus to you that are his children?
A25829Again, examine what it was that fastned your hope, Was it the word of the Lord that made you to hope, the sure word of promise?
A25829Againe, this is another temptation; why doth God chuse this man and not that man?
A25829Ah, but may not a man cry for mercy, and yet goe without it?
A25829Alas, if a man had a thousand times more then he hath, what is all he hath without the love of God?
A25829Alas, it is in vain to make complaints to such, what doth it avail?
A25829Am I in Gods stead?
A25829And Moses said unto God, who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Aegypt?
A25829And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one?
A25829And doth not Christ say, the Tares and the wheat must grow together?
A25829And doth not God take more care for poor lost souls?
A25829And for your incouragement, does Christ seem to be hid from you as from this woman of C ● naan?
A25829And further, to silence this temptation; why?
A25829And hath he not held forth his promises to thee?
A25829And he said, if the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee?
A25829And how destructive is it to the faith of Gods people, and all the comforts of Gods people?
A25829And if the Lord hath brought you in that are vveak ones, women; is there ever a vveak vvoman that the Lord hath made choice of?
A25829And is it not a more acceptable work to bring home lost souls?
A25829And it engages you to do the work of Christ?
A25829And let me say further, that this is a great dishonour to God: Oh what a 〈 ◊ 〉 is it?
A25829And oh what great ingratitude?
A25829And so doe you want healing?
A25829And so for Professors, when men shall look upon those of corrupt conversation, and they shall say, Who is their Master?
A25829And so when they are brought forth; what great pains are parents willing to take for their children?
A25829And so would you have peace?
A25829And that a poor lost Oxe be brought home to his Owner?
A25829And therefore let me speak to those that have received this grace: Hath the Lord found out your souls?
A25829And therefore to reflect a little upon this; doth God make this to be the condition of any of you?
A25829And to draw to a conclusion, let us labour to help forward Gods design: Doth God make choice of such?
A25829And were there not many wicked men in the Church of Corinth?
A25829And what am I worse then others?
A25829And what care do they take to make provision for their children, when they are dead and gone?
A25829And what is my sin more then others?
A25829And what pains did Christ take to bring us home?
A25829And what sayes the King to her?
A25829And whence is this?
A25829And wherefore was it that Christ gave himself to die?
A25829And who shall stand in his holy place?
A25829And why art thou disquieted within me?
A25829And why should God take me out from all others to make me an example to all others?
A25829And you know what Judas did meet withall, when he went to the Pharisees, and said, I have sinned in betraying the innocent bloud: What is that to us?
A25829Arguments of weaknesse: Young Rehoboam, his young Counsel, what rash judgement did they give to their King, that cost him his life?
A25829But can our afflictions be worse then Jobs were?
A25829But fourthly, We have further to consider, what is the end of Election; wherefore did God chuse certain persons?
A25829But how shall I know that the Lord hath heard my prayer?
A25829But how shall a young man be delivered from his folly?
A25829But in the second place, Who are Dogs?
A25829But it may be queried, Why she calls him the son of David?
A25829But it may be you will say unto me, how shall we obtain this hope?
A25829But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself?
A25829But none saith, where is God n ● ● ● maker?
A25829But take heed that we stay not there, and rob God of his grace, but even then look up to the Lord, and say, Who is like unto thee?
A25829But thirdly, What is the childrens bread that must not be given to dogs?
A25829But what shall I do when tempted about my unworthiness?
A25829But whe ● ● er came Christ?
A25829But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort?
A25829But who is like unto thy Son Christ for worthiness and righteousness?
A25829But you will say then, How shall men come to believe in the promises, if they must not be applyed to wicked men?
A25829But you will say to me, what is there in God that we should remember him?
A25829But you will say to me, when may Parents be said to love their children aright?
A25829But you will say what is Satans design, and what doth Satan intend?
A25829But you will say, How can this be known?
A25829But you will say, How shall we do that?
A25829But you will say, How shall we know when God presents unworthiness, and when Sathan presents unworthiness?
A25829But you will say, It is a great Duty, and much depends upon it, how shall I be helped to remember God aright?
A25829But you will say, Was it not an evil to give way to natural affection?
A25829But you will say, What can it hurt me?
A25829But you will say, What need we cry thus earnestly to the Lord?
A25829But you will say, What?
A25829But you will say, Wherefore doth the Lord suffer his people to be tempted thus about their unworthiness?
A25829But you will say, Whether was this affection natural or spiritual grace?
A25829But you will say, Why, then God makes choice of sinners, and how can that be?
A25829But you will say, is this enough for a ● an to believe that Christ is Lord, and God, equall with the Father?
A25829But you will say, what are the Wills of God contrary one to another?
A25829But you will say, what is it that we should cry for to the Lord at such a time?
A25829But you will say, wherefore doth the Lord thus try his people?
A25829By what means may a young man be cleansed?
A25829Can I give thee children?
A25829Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
A25829Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
A25829Can it be greater then Jonahs?
A25829Christ knew the worth of a soul, the preciousness of a soul: what would it advanvantage a man to gain the whole world and loose his soul?
A25829Did I say that I Remembred God and was troubled?
A25829Did the Lord cause you to see that it was not possible that you should create hope in your selves, til Christ come& beget hope in you?
A25829Did you see that it was out of the hand of Christ, and that it was begotten in you by the mighty power of God?
A25829Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
A25829Doe you desire any thing?
A25829Does not the De ● il make a confession that Christ is the Son of the li ● ing God?
A25829Dost thou love me?
A25829Dost thou love me?
A25829Doth Godtake care for Sheep?
A25829First then, Let us enquire who they are that are called children, who are the children that have right to the bread?
A25829First, It is a great sin; for what do we then, but set up the creature in the room of Christ?
A25829First, What cause have we to be ashamed that we have come so far short of this Duty in the time of affliction or temptation?
A25829For if the Word be not the rule, but a strong impulse of Spirit, what impulses may not a man have?
A25829Forget God?
A25829Fourthly and Lastly, What an engagement doth lye upon all in Christ''s house to be holy?
A25829Fourthly, doth the Lord enable thee and make thee willing to wait upon him?
A25829Hath Jesus Christ found you out in your wandrings, and through mercy brought you home to God?
A25829Hath he brought home any poor soul to believe in Christ, and to give up it self fully and for ever to Christ?
A25829Hath he no Father?
A25829Hath he not been working upon thy heart, to overcome thy heart?
A25829Have not we been distrusting, murmuring, repining, entertaining hard thoughts of God, speaking hard words against God?
A25829Have we been exercising trust and affiance in the name of the Lord?
A25829Have we been pouring forth our souls to God in afflicted conditions, and tempted conditions?
A25829Have we been putting forth acts of holy fear and reverence?
A25829Have we been putting forth acts of love towards God?
A25829Have we fallen down and worshipped with the worship of the Spirit?
A25829Have we made it our work to cry the more earnestly being in an Agony, as Christ did?
A25829Have we not charged God foolishly, and spoken unadvisedly with our lips?
A25829Have we not neglected our duty, and said, what profit is there if I pray unto the Almighty?
A25829Have we not thought that we have had to excuse from worship, when the afflicting hand of God hath been upon us?
A25829Have we spoken well of God at that time?
A25829He stands up to challenge all the world, and the powers of darknesse, who dare lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A25829He was so low in his own apprehension as was possible for him to be; in the belly of hell: And what did he do?
A25829Hearken my beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heires of the Kingdom?
A25829How did David long and thirst after it?
A25829How did they justifie the Lord, when the Lord spake hard things, and stretched out his hand in a way of sore affliction?
A25829How do the current of their thoughts run out to vanity?
A25829How do vain thoughts and sinful imaginations croud in continually?
A25829How doth this testifie the willingness of Christ to relieve his poor creatures?
A25829How earnestly doth David beseech the Lord that he would not be silent to his prayer?
A25829How far do we come short of this our duty?
A25829How few of the precious thoughts of the heart are spent upon God?
A25829How little delight in the presence of God?
A25829How little do we prize Communion with God?
A25829How little do we seek after the Image of God, and conformity to Christ?
A25829How long doe they hang upon their mothers breasts before they can shift for themselves?
A25829How long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?
A25829How long will ye turn my glory into shame?
A25829How many are the priviledges that they enjoy that are in Christ''s House?
A25829How many are there that doe confess Christ to be true Man?
A25829How many crooked thoughts?
A25829How many fruitless, unprofitable, sinful thoughts?
A25829How many gracious tenders and invitations are there in the Word of God for poor souls to flee unto?
A25829How many in their youth, and how many past youth, that have not yet remembred God, that have all their dayes forgotten the Holy One of Israel?
A25829How many, how dear, how precious are the thoughts of God to his people?
A25829How much held forth of the sufferings of Christ, and the benefits of the suffering of Christ?
A25829How often will they look up?
A25829How shall they come to have faith in the promise?
A25829How shall we know when it is duty to look upon unworthiness, and when it is sin to look upon unworthiness?
A25829How will every one strive to get their children into great mens houses?
A25829I answer, Though we may not make such a choice, God may make such a choice; why?
A25829I fear that the love of God dwelleth not in me; How can it be that God should set his love upon such a one?
A25829I know what is urged, Did not Judas receive the Supper?
A25829I pray consider how it is with our selves, and what it is that moves us; when a poor man comes, what is it that moves us?
A25829I see it is exceeding useful, and of absolute necessity, how shall we come by it?
A25829If she press''d in to Christ when she had no invitation, O what an ingagement lies upon us in the day of grace to come to Christ?
A25829If thou be better then others, whence was it?
A25829Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
A25829Is it possible that the Lord should humble himself to take notice of me?
A25829Is not this worthy of Thankfulness?
A25829Is there unrighteousness with God?
A25829Is there unrighteousness with God?
A25829It is not the word of him that is the true and faithful witness?
A25829It seems so, that God should deal thus unequally with persons that are equal, that are in the same condition, Is this righteous?
A25829Judas betrayed Christ, Peter denyed Christ and is forsworne; now that God should chuse one man and not another; why this man and not that man?
A25829Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
A25829Let us come hither for pardon of sin: Doe you want pardon of sin?
A25829Look upon the woman of Canaan, how did she cry to Christ for her daughter?
A25829Lord,( saith he) Is it possible that thou shouldest humble thy self so far to look down upon such a one?
A25829Men are found negligent in this great business, because they think it is too high for them; who can ascend into heaven?
A25829Nay but, O man, Who art thou that replyest against God?
A25829Nay further, How little is God pursued after?
A25829Nay further, How many vain thoughts lodge in the hearts of God''s own people?
A25829Nay, Instead of worshipping, Have not we been dishonouring God in the time of affliction and temptation?
A25829Nay, how hard is it for parents to part with their children when God takes away their children by death?
A25829None of these worthy of Thankfulness?
A25829Now in the third place let us consider the behaviour of this woman under these tryals, how did her faith bear up under these tryals?
A25829Now that God should spend his precious thoughts upon us, and we spend so few of our choice thoughts upon God, O what an ill requital is this?
A25829Now to those that are lost and know it not, let me say unto you?
A25829O Lord how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear?
A25829O how much deadness in heart and affection in the things of God?
A25829O how much sorrow do poor women meet withall in bearing and bringing forth children?
A25829O how troublesome is the Sea then?
A25829O what a raging enemy is the Sea, when the four winds strive upon it?
A25829O what hath God done for many of his people?
A25829O what hath God done that he might remember us?
A25829Oh how doth a Merchant- venturer long for the return of his commodity from a far Country?
A25829Oh my heart, wait I say, wait on the Lord: Hast thou through grace so spoken to thine own heart?
A25829Oh what cause have old men to remember God?
A25829Oh what swe ● ● musick was it?
A25829Oh, look upon Abraham, and let him be your pattern; how did he cry to the Lord in the behalf of Ishmael?
A25829Old men, I beseech you to remember your Creator, there is hope; wherefore hath God spared you so long?
A25829One thing have I desired of the Lord, and but one thing; What is that?
A25829One thing more, and so I conclude: and that is a word to children; is it so, that there is so much love in the hearts of Parents to their children?
A25829Or no Master?
A25829Or, What can it hurt another, though there be many wicked men in a Communion of Saints, that come and partake of the Lord''s Supper?
A25829Or, who is his Master?
A25829Saying, let us alone, what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth?
A25829Secondly Consider, That all that God speaks and doth is God; and if so, Why should we not justifie the Lord?
A25829Secondly, In a word, What matter of comfort is here to you that are the Lord''s people?
A25829Secondly, No eye hath seen what is done in Heaven, and if eye hath not seen it, how shall I attaine to the knowledge of it?
A25829Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
A25829Shall the thing formed, say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus?
A25829She had looked upon her unworthiness, and upon her vileness, and had seen her iniquity; but she also looked unto God, who is a God like unto thee?
A25829Should the Potsherd go and strive with his Maker?
A25829So let him curse, because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David; who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
A25829So then if she came to Christ when Christ hid himself, what an ingagement have we to come to Christ when Christ stands upon the house top?
A25829Surely thou must say it, that everlasting Armes have been under me, and why dost thou not bless the Lord that he hath put underneath everlasting Arms?
A25829That God is no more trusted for the things of this life, and for the things of Eternity?
A25829That God should take one, and leave another, when both in the same condition, is not this unrighteousness?
A25829That a poor lost Sheep be brought home to his Owner?
A25829That our hearts are ready to sainct within us?
A25829The Bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ?
A25829Then Job answered the Lord, and said, Behold, I am vile, what shall I answer thee?
A25829Then, How good to dwell in the House 〈 ◊ 〉 God?
A25829There is one Temptation more concerning others which I shall but touch, and that is this: Is not the Gospel Preached to all?
A25829There were many waves that did rise very high in his own spirit, and what doth he do?
A25829Think upon the gracious Nature of God, think upon the glorious Majesty of God, think upon all the Attributes of God, are they not worthy of praise?
A25829Thirdly, And in the third and last place: How may are there that many confess both these?
A25829Thirdly, Are poor creatures by nature in a lost estate and condition?
A25829Thirdly, Oh that this might provoke us all to look after faith: what need have Parents to labour for faith in Jesus Christ?
A25829Thirdly, What is the Object of this Hope?
A25829Thirdly, doth the Lord carry on thy soul to continue in thy prayer?
A25829Those supports that thou hast met withall under affliction, have not everlasting Arms been under thee?
A25829Thus doth the Apostle improve it, If God be for us, who shall be against us?
A25829We have been afflicted at one time or other, who hath been free?
A25829What Exhortations?
A25829What Invitations?
A25829What a choice priviledge is this, to sit at their Lord''s Table?
A25829What a desireable mercy is it?
A25829What a gracious frame of spirit was David in, when he was driven out from Jerusalem by his son Absalom?
A25829What a great deal of natural affection is there in the hearts of parents towards their children?
A25829What a great way did Christ go to doe good to one soul?
A25829What a priviledge is it?
A25829What a shame is it to Christians that we should look up no oftner, and no longer into the third heaven, that we may see our names written there?
A25829What a shame is it to the Master of the House?
A25829What am I poor dead dog, that I should sit at Table with the King, and that the King should own me?
A25829What an ingagement to come to Christ, to come in faith?
A25829What are Gods ends?
A25829What cause have we to give up our hearts into God''s hand, that he may make us truly humble?
A25829What cause have you to admire this love?
A25829What detriment shall I receive?
A25829What did the Saints do good works ignorantly?
A25829What did the children of old understand of Circumcision?
A25829What duty do we owe to Christ, that are received into Christs house?
A25829What follows?
A25829What had become of me, if it had not been for free grace?
A25829What hath been the carriage of our spirits under them?
A25829What have I done?
A25829What heavenly musick to he ● ● young men and children to be praising the name of Christ?
A25829What is it that you want?
A25829What is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou visitest him?
A25829What is prayer?
A25829What is said?
A25829What is that to me if I be prepared to wait upon the Lord?
A25829What is the Cause of all the dark and sad apprehensions of God to many of God''s own people?
A25829What is the House of Israel?
A25829What little Love?
A25829What little delight in the Lord?
A25829What little hope of being saved?
A25829What need is there of looking after the infinite righteousness of Jesus Christ?
A25829What pains did Christ take to seek us, when wandring?
A25829What pains will Astrologers and Star- gazers( as the Scripture calls them) take to see into the second heaven, the starry heaven?
A25829What poor, weak Breathings after God?
A25829What remedy is there against this evil in youth?
A25829What shall we say then?
A25829What strivings of the Spirit?
A25829What was it that made the difference?
A25829What was the end of the Father''s sending Christ, and the end of the laying down his life?
A25829What was the occasion of Christs departure from these parts of Judea that were near to Jerusalem?
A25829What will they do when the storms shall arise, when, when the wrath of God shall arise, what will you do?
A25829What workings are there?
A25829What?
A25829What?
A25829What?
A25829What?
A25829What?
A25829When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone?
A25829When you see a childe rude and deboist, you will say, who is his father?
A25829Whence comes all this coldness of heart, this forsaking of our first love?
A25829Whence comes it else, that men are up and down in their spirits, and comforted according to their actings?
A25829Whence is all this?
A25829Wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge?
A25829Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not?
A25829Wherefore was it that God sent his Son out of his bosome?
A25829Wherefore was it that he gave Christ?
A25829Whether did she speak this from natural affection to her child, or was this a fruit of her faith?
A25829Who are such vile, sinful, and unworthy creatures in the whole world as we are?
A25829Who are they?
A25829Who is it that tenders Christ to poor creatures?
A25829Who is like unto me for unworthiness?
A25829Who put the difference?
A25829Why Lord, say they, when saw we thee a hungry, thirsty, and naked, when did we these things to thee?
A25829Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
A25829Why did Christ leave these parts, and leave that people?
A25829Why do we sit still?
A25829Why doth he yet find fault?
A25829Why saith Christ, O ye of little faith, Why reason ye among your selves, because ye have brought no broad?
A25829Why should the living man complain, man for the punishment of his sin?
A25829Why so?
A25829Why, Because they have not remembred God: What is the cause of all those distrustful thoughts that do arise in the hearts of God''s own people?
A25829Why, he made thee, he fashioned thee, and is it fit for the creature to contend with his Maker?
A25829Will the Lord cast off for ever?
A25829Will the Lord look down upon such a poor creature, and upon such a piece of dust and ashes?
A25829Wisdome stands in the open street, and there she cries and makes proclamation, O ye fools, how long will you love folly?
A25829Worship him, How?
A25829Yea, Christ is very ready to go out to meet such children and young men: Are the hearts of young ones towards the Lord?
A25829Yea, hath there not been some secret intimations of love, though thou hast not received so much as another?
A25829Yea, would you have your hearts made more holy, purified, and sanctified, and get victory over your corruptions?
A25829Yet, hath there not been some secret hints of grace and love?
A25829You see who are to be accounted children: who are Dogs?
A25829You will say wherein doth it consist?
A25829and are not all commanded to believe?
A25829and dost now resolve to cast thy self upon Christ, to venture all upon Christ, even thy eternity?
A25829and is it not declared that whosoever doth believe shall be saved?
A25829and may we not object from thence against the absoluteness of God''s Decree?
A25829and shall not this be found in Christ towards his children?
A25829and the bread and wine in the Sacrament, but a signe to us?
A25829and to such and such as may relieve us, may we not apply our selves to them?
A25829and what sins so great will not such a man, as leaves the rule, be drawn to the commission of?
A25829and why will ye pray any longer?
A25829and will he be favourable no more?
A25829art thou come to destroy us?
A25829but would you know your selves to be in that number?
A25829by a parable there, of a man being in bed?
A25829did good and did not know?
A25829doth his promise fail for evermore?
A25829even cry unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save?
A25829for who hath resisted his will?
A25829hath God a revealed will, that he will have all men to be saved, and is his secret will contrary to his revealed will?
A25829hath God a will and a will?
A25829hath not God made thee willing to accept of Christ?
A25829hath not the Lord in some measure inabled thee to cleave to Christ?
A25829he was in the belly of hell; Can our afflictions and agonies be greater then Christ''s were?
A25829healing of your corruptions, of your distempers of spirit?
A25829here is grace indeed: What rich mercy was that, that sent out Jesus Christ to seek lost sheep?
A25829how acceptable is the least piece of service done by such a child?
A25829how are his wayes past finding out?
A25829how doth Davids heart yearn towards him?
A25829how engaged are we to wait upon the Lord for the blessing the provision of his house?
A25829how hard a matter is it for an unhumbled heart to bear this?
A25829how much more willing is our God to pass by and to pardon the failings of you that are his children?
A25829how should we lay forth our selves to seek Christ?
A25829is there so much that Parents do from love to children?
A25829is this nothing, though chosen, so long as thou fittest still thou canst not know it, and so not have the comfort of it?
A25829is this the condition of any of you?
A25829is this the part of a child?
A25829may not all this provoke thee to thankfulness?
A25829may we not go to our friends, is it not lawful to go to men when we are under pressures and burdens, either of the outward or inward man?
A25829or how shall we know that the love of Parents to their children, is not only the working of Natural affection?
A25829or the son of Abraham?
A25829saith the Lord by the Prophet Amos: Is there any evil of affliction that I have not brought upon a people?
A25829say they, they think it is presumption for them to ascend into heaven; and who can know( say they) that they are loved from everlasting?
A25829she might have exprest him to have been true man, and called him the son of Adam, why not the son of Adam?
A25829this will go to the heart of Christ; and therefore Brethren, what need have we to watch?
A25829what Rules hath Christ given us to walk by?
A25829what a tryall of faith was this?
A25829what abundance of the love of God is held forth, and of the great mysterie of godliness, God manifested in the flesh?
A25829what an encourageis here to all Parents to look after faith in Christ, that so your service may be accepted of the Lord?
A25829what an engagement is this to Thankfulness?
A25829what an engagement lyeth upon us to keep close to Christ?
A25829what an engagement to thrive and grow in grace?
A25829what care doth parents take to supply their childrens wants, that they may want nothing that is good for them?
A25829what free grace is it that God will save any?
A25829what hast thou to glory in?
A25829what is the work that is in Christ''s house?
A25829what is your duty?
A25829what joy will there be in heaven at your return?
A25829what little hope might any creature have had, that know the contrary workings of his own heart?
A25829what madnesse is it for a man to put himself into such a state where there is no hope, no possibility?
A25829what need have we to get such a ground of comfort in these back- sliding times?
A25829what need is there of fleeing to the free grace of God?
A25829what would it advantage a man or woman to gain the whole world, and to lose their own souls?
A25829when wilt thou come unto me?
A25829where is his Word and his Promise?
A25829where is the faithfulness of God?
A25829where shall we have this anchor to stay our souls?
A25829who would venture to Sea without an anchor?
A25829why Peter and not Judas?
A25829why does she call him the son of David?
A25829why then doth Christ say, he was not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel?
A25829why then know, here is that which gives the essence the being of faith?
A25829why will not God save all the World?
A25829why will not God save all?
A25829why, will the Lord deal so with any of his people?
A25829will this faith make a man blessed?
A25829ye simple ones, how long will you love simplicity?
A25829— The soul may thus reason with it selfe, how can this stand with Gods purpose and decree and election?
A25829● f he believe this shall he be saved?
A25829● hy art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

A56853why does my Soul relent?
A56853why doth sorrow Take an advantage of my Soul, and borrow Quotidian plagues, and study how to make My heart its Theater?
A56853why will ye shut your eyes, And thus run head- long after vanities?
A56853will that relieve Impris''ned souls, or teach thē how to grieve ▪ Tell me, sad Soul, can greater wants converse With flesh and blood?
A56853will ye always be Majestique too, in spight of Majestie?
A56853will you still command In spight of Fortune?

A10926And indeed, what agreement hath light with darknesse, or God with Belial?
A10926And is God so carefull a husband man of his Church?
A10926And is it not then iust and equall, that the Lord should looke for some answerable returne for all his paines?
A10926And is it possible that there should be a controuersie betweene God and his Vine, which he planted with his owne right hand?
A10926And is not this the nature of religious loue?

A10926And lastly, haue we not our Sauiours owne example for our imitation, who both by praier and practice sought his Fathers glory, and only it?
A10926And lastly, is God so milde euen when he hath to deale with sinners?
A10926And lastly, tell mee, dost thou continue constant in bearing fruit, not giuing ouer in the yeere of drought?
A10926And lastly, that the righteous perish, who seeth not?

A10926For he that singeth and vnderstandeth not what he singeth, what is he better than a sounding brasse, or a tinckling cymball?
A10926For triall: And indeed what better vse can we make of it?
A10926For were wee altogether exempted from the rod, how wanton and froward would we grow, and into how many perils would wee cast our selues?

A10926How grosly then are such deceiued as thinke godlinesse doth cause contempt, and the way to become honourable is to grow gracelesse and sinfull?

A10926How should this stirre vs vp to a zealous preparation before wee come to the house of God?
A10926How small is that Ioy which men take in thee or thine?
A10926How then can God be said to be the husbandman therof?
A10926Hunters, Hawkers, how doe they toyle and moyle, yet neuer complaine?
A10926I loue thee, when thy heart is not with mee?
A10926I would such would often put Iobs question to their soule: i What shall I doe when God riseth vp?
A10926If God be for vs, who can be against vs?
A10926If God would it should be otherwise; e Who hath euer resisted his will?

A10926Nay, will not the very heathen rise vp one day in iudgement against vs?
A10926Not resting thy selfe in this, that thou bloomest, blossommest, but still art striuing that euery bud may bee brought to maturity and ripenesse?
A10926Now as for trickes and crankles, Grammaticall and Rhetoricall descant, ends of gold and siluer, what helpe they to this businesse?
A10926Now doe corruptions in a man make a false man; or a corrupt man?

A10926Oh whom, oh man, canst thou lay the fault?
A10926One in shew that loues me, and yet a worldling, a drunkard, or the like?
A10926Or as that Lawyer came to Christ, with Master, what shall I doe?
A10926Or if the eie be blemished, doth the rest of the members disdaine it or contemne it?
A10926Or is it discontented, because it is clad in leather, when it may be there is a chaine of gold about the necke, or a pretious stone vpon the finger?
A10926Or will men take a pinne of it to hang any vessell thereon?
A10926Ought not we more to respect our God than he his King?
A10926Quid tibi prodest non habere conscium habenti conscientiam?
A10926Quomodo cris penetrator obscurorum, contemptor manifestorū?
A10926Remember further, how we pray: Doe we not desire daily the hallowing of Gods name?

A10926See how Iusticers we can be to our very owne crimes in others persons?
A10926Shall I sweare, swagger, drinke to be drunke, or the like?
A10926Shall he that giues not, wring his hands?
A10926Shall not euery creature be a witnesse against man, and rise vp in iudgement to condemne him, if he be barren; fruitlesse?
A10926Shall not these condemne vs?
A10926Shall the former fruitfulnesse of such professors be regarded, or rewarded?
A10926Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
A10926Shall tribulation, or distresse, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sword?
A10926Shall we delight in that which God abhorres?
A10926Shall we then condemne the lawfull vse with the vnlawfull abuse?
A10926Shall wood bee taken thereof to doe any worke?
A10926Should not this consideration be a spurre in our sides to make vs forward in this dutie?
A10926Should the wood quarrell with the Carpenter?
A10926So say I, What peace so long as that make- bate is harboured in thy brest?
A10926So say thou when thou art entised vnto lewdnesse; Should such a one as I doe thus?
A10926So that Herod may haue his pleasure which hee affects, g what cares hee though hee part with halfe his Kingdome?

A10926Standst thou vpon dowry?
A10926Tell me then thou that art thus called; hast thou those gifts and graces which those names import?

A10926The Iewes thus dead and scattered, what became now of their glorious Citie?
A10926The Indictment followes in these words: What could haue beene dore more to my Vineyard, that I haue not done in it?
A10926The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
A10926The Spouse hauing lost her welbeloued, inquires through the streets as vndone without him,* Saw yee him whom my soule loueth?
A10926The forme of the words, as we see, is Interrogatorie; What could haue beene done?
A10926The like was Gods manner of proceeding with Adam after his transgression; r Adam where art thou?
A10926There is good Reason for it: For o who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof?
A10926There is no branch of any tree that exceedeth it, in growing and spreading forth it selfe: in one weeke, yea night, how exceedingly is it shot?
A10926These are his Clients, he hath taken them into his protection; he is become their Iudge; and c shall not the Iudge of all the world doe right?
A10926This answer may we giue to the like demand; Why are wee so often punished, afflicted, plagued?
A10926This caused the Lord to take vp that pitifull complaint against Israel and Iudah; f Ephraim, what shall I doe vnto thee?
A10926This delight shall not be interrupted and broken off by feare and torment before it be fully finished?
A10926Thou hast little cause, for what bringest thou but sinne and beggery?
A10926Thou pleadest further Gods decree; for albeit thou vse the meanes, yet the end is already decreed, and who can alter it?
A10926Thou that gloriest in the name of a Professor, and yet liuest like a Pagan, can God endure it?
A10926Thus the Iewes bragged, they were p Abrahams seed; but alas, will it profit them when they are the seruants of sinne?
A10926Thy heart is this field; examine now what growes in it: Doe thistles grow in stead of wheat, and f cockle in stead of barley?
A10926To Samuel a Iudge; To Dauid a King; and yet l Prophets both?
A10926To k Melchisedech, who was King of Salem, and yet a Priest vnto the Lord?
A10926True it is, no mens estates seeme to be more happie, nor no mens stayes more strong; and who more secure than these men are?
A10926Was not this likewise his dealing with Pharaoh and his people?
A10926We call thee Lord, but where''s thine honour?
A10926Weaknesse in Gods children must be corrected, and shall wickednesse in you escape vnpunished?
A10926Were not these threatnings made to keepe them in obedience only?

A17330Lastly, the very asking of that question, be thou a Christian, or a Heathen?
A17330Monarch( said I?)
A17330Much more are men moued when they are pictured like beastes, or see a man set foorth with a beasts head: that is a monster, who can abide it?
A17330Nay what strumpet so impudent that in her husbands sight dareth prostitute herselfe before another?
A17330No, we could not find any fault with his doctrine, that is sound: but yet we can not away with him, he was too plaine and round with vs. Too plaine?
A17330Now if it be so with one sinne that thou hast bene familiar withall, what wilt thou do, when all thy sinnes are proued customes?
A17330Now seeing these things are so, what could I propound more necessary, then this preseruatiue against the foresayd poyson?
A17330Now then, what remaineth for this point?
A17330Now what a ridiculous iest is it, to see one mince and chew a smal crum of bread for feare of choaking, and yet swallow downe a whole loafe?
A17330Now what an odious thing is that which depriueth Christians of such a blessing, and blessed meanes of fellowship and great ioy?
A17330Now what is the religion of all these I pray you?
A17330Now, who more vnfruitfull then the wicked?
A17330Of ciuill actions and religious actions?
A17330Of what tribe, or citie art thou?
A17330Oh master how shall we know these things, wilt thou say?
A17330Oh sinceritie, sinceritie, where hast thou bene all this while, say they?
A17330Or can the world take it from you, if God doth giue it you?
A17330Or did Corah, Dathan, and Abiram looke for the opening of the earth vnder them, when they were swallowed vp for their rebellion against Moses& Aaron?
A17330Or did Ieroboam looke for a leporous hand, when he put it forth against the Prophet of God?
A17330Or did Sisera looke for death when Iael tooke him napping, and knocked a naile into his head?
A17330Or doth all power of iudging, and ability of discerning belong onely to the outward man, and none to the inward man?
A17330Or what?
A17330Others like the Herodians: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar or no?
A17330Say not as Achab sayd to Eliah: Hast thou found me ô my enemy?
A17330See you a Magistrate ruled by his officers, who should but see out of him?
A17330See you a Minister silent, when he should preach?
A17330See you one( whether man or woman) cōtending to talke, whē they ought to be silent and to heare others?
A17330Shal the one part lift vs vp to any proud conceipt of our selues?
A17330Shall Achab escape the bitternes of death, because he is a King?
A17330Shall Iezabel escape or be fauoured, because she is a Queene, and faire without?
A17330Shall not a iury of twelue men iudge of a fellon, because Christ hath sayd iudge not?
A17330Shall not the Goldsmith iudge of mettals, because Christ hath sayd, Iudge not?
A17330Shall not the Iudge giue iudgement vpon a malefactour, because Christ hath sayd, Iudge not?
A17330Shall not the Phisition iudge of a sicke body, because Christ hath sayd, Iudge not?
A17330Shall not the eare iudge of sounds, and the eye of colours, and the nose of smels, and the pallate of meates, because Christ hath sayd Iudge not?
A17330Shall we continue still in sinnes,( saith the Apostle) that grace may abound?
A17330So shamelesse and impudent are the fauourites of Belial, that they will not sticke to say: How know you that he is a wicked man, or a wicked woman?
A17330So would many answere now( no doubt:) Are we dogges, that we should so vse God seruants,& c?
A17330So, what say you to bishops, what think you of the booke of Cōmonprayer?
A17330Surely most men do know this to be true, euen by experience( the schoolemaister of fooles) but how few do rightly consider of it?
A17330Take for example, the Apostles and Martyrs: dost thou not yet euē drink of their liqour?
A17330Tell me now, is there any thing more vncertaine then the good opinion of men?
A17330Tell vs, or resolue vs of our doubt: Is it lawfull to pay tribute to Caesar or no?
A17330The Apostle Paul( to shew the fruit of sinne) asketh this question: What fruit( saith he) haue you of those things whereof ye are now, ashamed?
A17330The fruit of this tree is faire in shew, but in tast most bitter, for what else is it, but feare& shame, and death eternall?
A17330The heart is deceitfull aboue all things( saith Ieremy) who can know it?
A17330The praise of men what is it?
A17330The praise of men what is it?
A17330The sacrifice of the wicked is an abhomination( sayth Salomon) how much more when he bringeth it with an euill mind?
A17330Then: when thou seest that thou art in danger of committing wickednesse, who can compell thee to keepe such a wicked promise?
A17330Then: why art thou so rash as to promise thou knowest not what?
A17330There is no peace vnto the wicked saith my God: he doth not say, that the wicked do not rest, or will not rest: but they can not rest: And why?
A17330Therefore commonly Christ asked this question of those which came to be healed of him: Canst thou beleeue?
A17330Therefore the vngodly being in hell, do crie out of their folly, and say, how haue we wearied our selues in the waies of wickednesse?
A17330Therfore, where should their place be but vpon the dunghill?
A17330These things being well considered,( I say) what else is the reward of hypocrisie compounded of, but of vanitie and misery it selfe?
A17330They are swift in going, whereabout is it?
A17330They set their mouth against heauen, and their tongue walketh through the earth: and they say, how doth God know it?
A17330To what vse serueth vnsauoury salt, but for the dunghil?
A17330Was Dauid then a man of Belial?
A17330Was not one of thē a harlot?
A17330We would rather go naked then to be clothed: but what skils it whether a man be tormented in veluet, or in canuas, in gold, or in yron?
A17330What Vniuersitie was he of?
A17330What a coile do others keepe about sitting and kneeling at the Communion?
A17330What care hath he to bring vp his children in the feare of God?
A17330What deuises?
A17330What feare do they sustaine in following their wickednes?
A17330What had that blessed Apostle to boast of when he came at Macedonia, but of the zeale of the Corinthians?
A17330What hath encouraged and emboldned them to come before God in prayer, but the testimoniall of a sincere heart, and holy affection?
A17330What hath soundly comforted all the Saines of God here on earth, but the testimonie of an vpright heart?
A17330What if men know not, yea what if he that is relieued, do not know him that hath relieued him?
A17330What is the harlots talking of paying her vowes, and offering her peace offerings: but a signe of a godly woman?
A17330What is then more miserable then to make the praise of men the end of our labor?
A17330What is this but to make an idoll of the true God?
A17330What manner of reward is this?
A17330What more vnsauourie then vngodlines?
A17330What need they care what they do, so they may be forgiuen for giuing of a litle Apostolicall gold?
A17330What need we go any further for an exāple of this play, then to the Popish church?
A17330What paines did Ioab take with the host of Israel, to quench the rebellion of Absalom?
A17330What praise and encouragement did Ioab the Kings Generall, with all the Captaines of the armie, looke for at the Kings hand?
A17330What say you of their throat?
A17330What shall the souldiers do at the hold, if the captaine of the hold be a traitour?
A17330What should be thought of those sixe thousand skulles of children, which were found in another Popes Mote?
A17330What signes of humility also shall we see, or not see, euen in the proudest persons that are?
A17330What then?
A17330What then?
A17330What they must trust vnto if they truly repent not, he sheweth, when he saith: how should ye escape the damnation of hell?
A17330What thinke you of Bishops& their calling( say some?)
A17330What vertue, excellencie, or perfection is in earthly vaine Belial?
A17330What was the kisse of Iudas but a signe of loue?
A17330What were Ioabs courteous embracings, and kind salutations: but signes vnto Abner of a kind friend?
A17330What will this babler say?
A17330What would not these men do against the poore seruants of Christ if Queene Maries time shold come againe?
A17330What would these persons do, and how would they be honoured, if their place, and authoritie, and birth, and wealth, did answer their humour?
A17330What, would you haue vs noted aboue all men in the towne?
A17330What?
A17330What?
A17330What?
A17330What?
A17330When a man hath wonne the commendation and liking of men whom they go about to please: are they sure it shall continue?
A17330When doth he enter into priuate prayer for strength against his speciall sinnes and temptations?
A17330When the brasen serpent maketh men to fall from God, what must be done withall, but breake it in peeces?
A17330When they heard Christ speake of eating his flesh: they said, this is a hard saying, who can beare it?
A17330Whether is greater( saith he) the gold or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
A17330Who can do all this, will they say?
A17330Who is that, sayth one?
A17330Who is the Almightie that we should serue him?
A17330Who were they that brought so bountifull gifts to the building of the Lords holy tabernacle among the Iewes?
A17330Whom doth he meane?
A17330Whose house is that( saith one?)
A17330Why did not Cain, and Iudas, and Elymas, and Ananias, and Saul, and Esau,& diuers others repent, that they might haue bene saued?
A17330Why tempt ye me ye hypocrites?
A17330Wilt thou be familiar with men?
A17330Wilt thou be merie?
A17330Wilt thou be strange?
A17330Wilt thou eate and drinke with men?
A17330With our tongue we will preuaile, our lips are our owne, who is Lord ouer vs?
A17330Would we be seene when we do well?
A17330Wouldest thou be rewarded for that thou doest?
A17330Yea, what should I say more?
A17330Yes verily, and wo, yea ten thousand woes be to them that are ashamed of his bands?
A17330You that desire to be seene of men, you desire sound comfort, can the world giue it you when God denieth it you?
A17330Your words haue bene stout against me( sayth the Lord:) But they aunswere: What haue we sayd?
A17330a couetous man, neuer content, and I know not wat will ensue?
A17330a seuere reprouer of sinne, and a strict man in his life and conuersation?
A17330and are not these sweet odours, that is, the prayers of the Saints a good reward?
A17330and count it nothing which he doth?
A17330and doth not sinne defile euery mans minde?
A17330and he that made the eare, shall he not heare?
A17330and heape vp vengeance as they heape vp sinne?
A17330and is not that the bramble, that hath so exalted himselfe aboue the trees of the forest?
A17330and must we haue our sinnes crucified too?
A17330and neuer regard the due examination of themselues aforehand, that they may come worthily vnto the same?
A17330and so ouerdroopeth all occupations about him, and vnder him, that none can thriue but he: and yet how know you that he is a worldling?
A17330and some of them Sodomits,& buggerers: and most of them common whoremongerers?
A17330and that they are so much disquieted withall?
A17330and to get the good opinion and estimation of men?
A17330and to haue the diuell set vp in his place like an vsurper?
A17330and to kill Absalom that monster in nature, who first kindled the fire?
A17330and what is more inconstant then the wind?
A17330and what is the sonne of Ishai,& c?
A17330and what more needfull to be set foorth, then the commendations of sincerity, taken from her beauty, from her riches, and inestimable reward?
A17330and what profit should we haue if we should pray vnto him?
A17330and what signes of manhood& valour, euen in the most cowardly persons that are?
A17330and when he came at Achaia, what ioy was it vnto him to report of the forwardnesse and liberality of the Macedonian Christians?
A17330and wherwithall should the patience of the needy haue bene tried?
A17330and who so loftie and lustie as the bramble, that is exalted beyond his desert?
A17330and would we not loose our labour for a toy or a trifle, as many do?
A17330and yet, what part of all their ages hath lasted so long, or done so much good, as the last halfe hower wherein they died?
A17330as oftentimes we do in the darke, or at short turnings, and sometimes haue them ouertake vs, and speake sodainely vnto vs, doth it not amaze vs?
A17330as the Apostle saith, is Christ deuided?
A17330as though the end of our iourney were for to come to a greene way, or to a pleasant wind?
A17330be not impatient somtime?
A17330be not moued somtime?
A17330can Kings& Princes?
A17330can al the world?
A17330can there be a greater misery?
A17330can your friends an kindred?
A17330did he preach errours and lyes?
A17330did she giue ouer seeking?
A17330did she not trauell of a child in going their Procession?
A17330did they reproue him by words?
A17330diddest not thou tell me thou haddest no more?
A17330do they not desire to know God?
A17330do you know him?
A17330doth not their constant confession make thee to confesse Christ?
A17330doth not their death help thee to endlesse life?
A17330had they not also their Deacons and ouerseers for the poore, that knew well who had neede of almes?
A17330had they not their Elders?
A17330hath he no more benefices then one?
A17330how shall we then know hypocrites from honest Christians?
A17330how will the world commend me?
A17330if we can not know them, how then shall we auoide them?
A17330if we leaue the Papistes and ioyne with Atheists, Machiauels, and Libertines?
A17330is Christ crucified for vs?
A17330is there none better then another?
A17330might they not enquire of them?
A17330nay are you not Schismatikes?
A17330of cruell dealing?
A17330of this mans gifts, and that mans teaching say other?
A17330or a daily frequenter of the temple?
A17330or can al the condemnations and euill speeches of the world take it from you, if God doth giue it you?
A17330or can all the world by disgracing of sincere harted Christians, hinder their suite in the Lords Court, if God doth like of them?
A17330or can all the world cause you to fast, or to want when the Lord hath prouided you such a feast?
A17330or could they not trust them with their contribution?
A17330or giue him so much as a good countenance?
A17330or haue I handled it worse then it deserueth?
A17330or is there knowledge in the most high?
A17330or iudging of my heart?
A17330or prying into my bowels& entrails?

A17330or what charter hath he of his life, one houre longer then he doth now liue?
A17330or what is it to make a shew of religion?
A17330or who more vnprofitable then the vngodly?
A17330or whose houses do you visite?
A17330or( to speake the truth) of most men now adaies, but hypocrisie?
A17330said Hazael, is thy seruant a dogge, that I should do this great thing?
A17330shall we there rest?
A17330that is, what will he declare or set foorth?
A17330that the wicked may commend vs?
A17330that they may take heed of the enemy when he commeth?
A17330the offering or the Altar, that sanctifieth the offering?
A17330to do nothing but comber the ground?
A17330to say there is a God, and not to beleeue that this God seeth in secret?
A17330were we not in a good case thinke you, if we had hope of no better reward then this?
A17330what art and cunning?
A17330what grieuous accusations of hard dealing?
A17330what is their verdict of such a one?
A17330what liuing hath he?
A17330what religious exercise doth he frequent?
A17330what shifts?
A17330what signes of charity in the cruellest?
A17330what signes of grauity, in the lighest and vainest?
A17330what signes of liberality from the most niggardly?
A17330what striuing hath he against his imperfections?
A17330where dwels his friends?
A17330where the Apostle saith: What fellowship is there betwixt Christ and Belial?
A17330which of you be not froward somtime?
A17330which of you sweare not sometime?
A17330whose heart he hath enclined, and whose trauels he hath imployed, and still doth employ( for the greatest part of your time) in so blessed a worke?
A17330wil he destroy man, whom he made after his owne image?
A17330yea would she not be ashamed and afraid too, if but a little child were in presence?
A00980& shall I giue credit to the worlds lying flatteries?
A00980& shall I practise my selfe what I deride in others?
A00980143 M Meditation: What it signifieth?
A0098015. that my honours, profits, pleasures should perish, and all my thoughts and labours vanish like a cloud?
A0098018 For how should Christ, who is light, haue fellowship with darknesse, and not expell it?
A0098023. how shall he lose his way, whose wayes are preserved by God?
A009803. how much more is it hee alone, who causeth us to find favour in his owne eyes, in whose loving favour is all our happinesse?
A009808. what benefit of his resurrection, who hath no life of the Spirit?
A00980Aboue the rest, negligence in performance of dutie they account as nothing: as demaund of them, what zeale haue you in prayer?
A00980Admi ● ● ble is his patience,* with what great forbearance did he instruct the old world by Noah?
A00980After that sentence what canst thou say for thy selfe?
A00980Againe hath my gracious& long- suff ● ring Father all this time waited that he may haue mercy on me?
A00980Againe; canst thou not be a Saint?
A00980Alas where doe these fruits appeare?
A00980All things come alike to all; when the righteous bee scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appeare?
A00980Am I any thing better?
A00980And are not all these spirituall, immortall, and glorious?
A00980And doe not men know and acknowledge God to be Almightie, not to be resisted?
A00980And for a motiue to stop thee from this course, consider thei ● steppes, how many feete haue gone that way, how few returned?
A00980And how are they now?
A00980And how doe wee serue him, but in holinesse and righteousnesse?
A00980And how justly might thousands of Christians tremble, when they see their affections in this particular so contrary to Christ?
A00980And indeed how should it bee otherwise?
A00980And is Gods commaund of no force with thee?
A00980And is not this obtained by the word, and by it onely?
A00980And now see yonder the Lord Iesus offereth himselfe unto me for my salvation: Shall I be worse then that Daemoniake?
A00980And on whom doth hee bestow it, but on his faithfull servants?
A00980And this is the very summe of all happinesse, for how can hee want any good thing which enioyeth such a Father?
A00980And what?
A00980And what?
A00980And will not our experience also testifie it?
A00980And wilt thou take from one businesse to giue to another?
A00980And yet how many still cleaue unto her, and dote upon her wrinkles?
A00980Animula vagula, blandula quae nunc abibis in loca?
A00980Ar ● thou a Scholler, and aymest at the Ministerie?
A00980Are not our hearts held with strong witcherie while wee thus dote?
A00980Are the rich instructed that they trust not in uncertaine riches, but in the living God?
A00980Are they kindly intreated, and waged with blessings?
A00980Are they not compelled to deny that other Kings haue shared out the Empire among them?
A00980Are they not compelled to grant and maintaine impossibilities?
A00980Are they not then lying children?
A00980Are they smitten?
A00980Are we not naturally afraid of those who can kill the body?
A00980Are we now got up unto some comfortable or honourable place?
A00980Are you( say they) without your faults?
A00980Art thou a Minister of the word?
A00980Art thou a Statist, and standest before Kings?
A00980Art thou a Tradesman?
A00980Art thou a scholler in the schoole of Christ?
A00980Art thou an hearer?
A00980Art thou dead in sinne?
A00980Art thou dull?
A00980Art thou in sorrow?
A00980Art thou in state of damnation, and knowest no way out of it?
A00980Art thou indeed stronger then God?
A00980Art thou not his debtour?
A00980Art thou not servant to the same Lord, wearest thou not the same livery of skin and flesh?
A00980Art thou washed in the blood of the Covenant,& so hast received reconciliation?
A00980As thou hast fallen with that Saint, so hast thou risen with him?
A00980At length some few blades spring up here and there: why then shouldest thou expect seede time and harvest all in a day?
A00980Beside how shall they which are dead to sinne, liue yet therein?
A00980But doe we not see wicked rebells often flourish, and liue in wealth and prosperitie, yea die also and are buried peaceably, and pompously?
A00980But doe you not spend too much time in the Ale- house?
A00980But dost thou find the word of God spring in thy heart?
A00980But doth not Christ a ● firme, that hee leaues not the worlds peace with the faithfull?
A00980But had not Herod, and haue not temporary beleevers a tast, yea a delighting tast in the word?
A00980But how comes it to be good unto us, which is so evill in it selfe?
A00980But how deadly, and desperate is their estate, who grow worse and worse?
A00980But how farre did this my Guide exceed me in all outward blessings?
A00980But how should we fasten this day in our hearts?
A00980But if we laugh at those that are scared with a vizard, how ridiculous to be amazed with such emptie shewes of evill?
A00980But if you beleeve not his writing, how should you beleeve our preaching?
A00980But is it not the savour of death?
A00980But let me aske thee; Dost thou not still persevere in the way of sinners?
A00980But may we not still complaine?
A00980But then who can know whether God will hide himselfe, whether the word shall profit, or his eare be stopt to thy petitions?
A00980But what is the resemblance betweene them?
A00980But what meanes are to bee used?
A00980But what need we travaile to forraine Nations for witnesse to this truth, when our owne Land even in our time, is a strong confirmation of it?
A00980But what will you doe in the end thereof?
A00980Can I forbeare laughing to see a man seeke for grapes among thornes, or figs from thistles?
A00980Can any man plead ignorance, and say?
A00980Can businesse excuse thee?
A00980Can there be a more easie command then this?
A00980Can you bee in the fellowship of the Saints, and of God through Christ, when thus your heart cleaveth to wicked sinfull persons?
A00980Canst thou hate those that hold of superstitious vanities, and say, away from me you wicked, for I will keepe the Commandements of my God?
A00980Canst thou long for the house of thy God?
A00980Consider thy companie, hast thou loved the Brethren?
A00980Consider what str ● ames of teares flowed from the eyes of Mary Magdalen?
A00980David( sayth he) wrote some f ● w Psalmes, why might he not?
A00980Desirest thou the true honour and dignitie of my kingdome?
A00980Do those chastisements of God weane thy heart from the vanities of this life, and the flatteries of this world?
A00980Doe I mocke at his idle paines, who spreads a fishing net upon the mountaines, plowes the sands, or sowes the seas?
A00980Doe I thinke he deserues to be deceived, who being often abused with lies, will still trust?
A00980Doe but find one gracious man, who hath received this treasure, and hides it up in a napkin?
A00980Doe not many learned in the Ministerie, despising the frequencie of preaching, neglect it in their owne practise, condemne it in others?
A00980Doe not men say as those Israelits, Wee are Lords wee will come no more at thee?
A00980Doe they presently obey the heavenly warning?
A00980Doe we thinke that a swearers or cursers mouth is not inhabited with a devill of blasphemie?
A00980Doe wee now learne to detest intemperancie, and weyn our selues from excesse?
A00980Doe you not leaue undone many necessary duties?
A00980Doe you not liue in these or some of these sinnes?
A00980Doe you not vse the Masse, our Lady, your faith, and troth in oaths?
A00980Doe you not yet perceiue, nor remember?
A00980Doe you thus serue him?
A00980Doe you tremble and rejoyce in the word?
A00980Doest thou heare him, reproving openly those that sinne, sharply rebuking, that men may be sound in the ● aith?
A00980Dost thou bring on thy soule to delight in the Lord?
A00980Dost thou consider thy wayes, and turne thy feete into the testimonies of the Lord?
A00980Dost thou cry for knowledge?
A00980Dost thou feele it begin to roote it selfe in a constant delight?
A00980Dost thou labour to redeeme thy lost time?
A00980Dost thou make hast, and delayest not?
A00980Dost thou provoke him to anger, and dost thou not provoke thy selfe to confusion of face?
A00980Dost thou seeke for wisedome as for silver, and search for it as for treasures?
A00980Dost thou sigh and grone under the burden of unbeliefe?
A00980Dost thou stirre up thy soule to hold Christ, and rest upon him?
A00980Dost thou teach the way of holinesse?
A00980Dost thou then find that good seed cast into thy heart?
A00980Doth it send forth any fruit, and shew it selfe, though yet weakly?
A00980Doth not a Devill of profanenesse possesse thy heart, when thou neglectest God in his Ordinances?
A00980Doth not an uncleane spirit dwell in wanton and adulterous eyes?
A00980Doth not the covetous know, that he is an Idolat ● r: that extortioners, usurers, and oppressours shall not ent ● r into the Kingdome of God?
A00980Doth not the word daily sound in our eares?
A00980Doth not thy excellencie consist in likenesse to thy Creator and Redeemer, and in his divine nature?
A00980Doth that peace of God rule in thy heart?
A00980Evill men can giue good things to their children: what shall he deny to his, who is infinite Godnesse?
A00980Find in all th ● world such a foole, that wilfully will runne into knowne and confessed destruction?
A00980For aske them; Is it not sinne to breake the Sabboth, to doe thine owne worke upon Gods day, to absent and with- draw thy selfe from the Assemblies?
A00980For doe they not know that wicked persons living in open rebellion against the lawes of God, are by God rejected, and hated?
A00980For hast thou neither in thy heart lightly esteem''d, nor in thy words jested, nor in thy actions slighted this solemne day?
A00980For how should that giue us rest, which is never at a stay in it selfe, but ever ebbing and flowing?
A00980For the word; when thou hast heard it sometime threatning, sometime promising, hast thou not set it at thy heeles?
A00980For to seeke and search for wicked riches and pleasures, that is, to pursue our owne destruction, what madnesse is beyond it?
A00980For what fruit hath he of Christs death, whom wee see liue to sinne?
A00980For what is the object of rejection but evill?
A00980For what will you doe now in the day of your visitation, and destruction which shall come?
A00980God commaunds it: and doth not the same God commaund thee to read his word, and exercise thy selfe in it?
A00980Hast thou attain ● d to that steppe of wisedome, to know thou knowest nothing as thou oughtest to know?
A00980Hast thou esteemed the word of his mouth more then thy appointed food?
A00980Hast thou not received all from God?
A00980Hast thou striken a covenant with the Lord?
A00980Hath not the Truth, which can not lie assured me, and will not my reason confirme it, that he scornes the scorner?
A00980Hath not the finger of God in his word painted, and pointed him out, that hee who even shuts his eyes, can not but grope and feele him?
A00980Hath not the word plainely discover''d them to us?

A00980Haue the poore learned of the Apostle, let him that stole steale no more?
A00980Haue we shaken off those not more heavy, then loathsome chaines of Satan?
A00980Haue you any right to that holy Hill, when you make much of a man vile, unprofitable, and noysome, and the righteous is contemned in thine eyes?
A00980Hee hath put the sword of Magistracie into thine hand, wilt thou use it as this King?
A00980Hee that planted the eare shall he not heare, and hee that formed the eye shall hee not see, hee that teacheth ma ● knowledge shall hee not know?

A00980How did Paul humble himselfe in respect of his pers ● cution?
A00980How did this hearten David in all persecution of Saul, and slanders of his enemies?

A00980How easily doe we forget the workes which we haue seene with our eyes?
A00980How easily doe wee forget the consolation, which speakes to vs as children?
A00980How farre are th ● y from it?
A00980How farre from a Christian, who hast no loue to such whom Christ hath loved beyond his life?
A00980How fearefull then is that infidelitie and securitie of men denying this truth, and therefore never preparing for that day?
A00980How few account it needful?
A00980How good counsell is this for a Christian with a little change?
A00980How great an offence is treason against a King, the Lords annointed?

A00980How loud hath God th ● ndered his woes against i ● temperate persons?
A00980How many are there who flatter themselues in their wayes, untill their abominable wickednesse be found out by the judgements of God?
A00980How many feete must he haue?
A00980How many must confesse themselues guiltie of this sinne?
A00980How many silly soules hath he strooke with these affrightings, and drawen them head- long from their profession?

A00980How wofull will bee the end of this drowsinesse?
A00980I am a word of refreshing to the w ● ary Art thou heavie?
A00980If Christ be our life, why is not our heart with him?
A00980If he commaund thee to attend his pleasure at the Court; and sets thee a day, darest thou breake day with him?
A00980If hee should then deride my petition, scorne my supplication, and laugh at my miserie, what can be expected but a fearfull instant damnation?
A00980If it be thus with thee, if thou confessest thy sinne with thy lippes, but forsakest it not in thy heart, how shouldest thou find mercy?
A00980If men discourage and rebuke thee, dost thou so much more cry out, thou Sonne of David haue mercie upon me?
A00980If they see a Brother sinne, doe they apply a seasonable and loving reproofe or admonition?
A00980If we plant an Orchard, how diligent are we by all meanes to fill it with the best and choicest fruit?
A00980If wee looke to Schollers, even those who haue given up their names to Christ in the Ministerie, how many shall we see drowned in humane learning?
A00980If you goe on, shall they not take up a taunting proverbe against you, and say; hoe they increase that which is not their owne: how long?
A00980In a word, haue wee learned to speake every one the truth to his neighbour?
A00980In that mercifull Saviour?
A00980In the Saints?
A00980In the evill Angels whom thou served''st?
A00980In the good Angels?
A00980In thee haue they oppressed the stranger, in thee haue they vexed the fatherlesse and widdow?
A00980In thine owne heart?
A00980In vaine therefore shall men plead before the tribunall of Christ; Lord when did we heare thee preaching unto us, and scorned thy word?
A00980Is Christ no riches?
A00980Is a vile person contemned in thine eyes, but thou makest much of them that feare the Lord?
A00980Is he patient?
A00980Is he seated high?
A00980Is he silent expecting our returne?
A00980Is hee rich?
A00980Is his promise and word sweeter then honey, or the honey- combe?
A00980Is it not a more evident token of an Infidell to neglect the labour in thy heavenly, then in thy ● arthly calling?
A00980Is it not enough that thou refrainest prayer, and prayse, but thou wilt blaspheme?
A00980Is it not sinne to sweare, to curse, to raile, to slander, to speake basely of those that desire to feare the Lord?
A00980Is it possible in reason, that any who hath not pluckt out his eyes, should thinke the Pope Christ his subject?

A00980Is not the throat of a drunkard held by a Devill of excesse and surfeting?
A00980Is not this most grosse hypocrisie?
A00980Is not this then a confessed breach of Gods commandement, and doe you not liue in this, and refuse to be reformed?
A00980Is the loue of God to thee better then life?
A00980Is then the word of God an idle matter?
A00980Is there any Father like to my heavenly Father, any friend comparable to Christ Iesus?
A00980Is there any wisedome like ● hat of the Spirit of God?
A00980Is there nothing to be gotten by this spirituall diligence?
A00980Is there nothing to maintaine this godly feare but losse of glory?
A00980Is thy delight in the Saints, and them that excell?
A00980It is not amisse, will some say, that you are turned into the right path, but why goe you so fast?
A00980Let the day perish wherein I was borne, why died I not in the birth?
A00980Looke out and behold the wayes of men, what multitudes tread in this path?
A00980Lord, Lord haue not ● I professed thy name?
A00980Machiavell?
A00980Must this chiefe and speciall action of thy life, giue place to every vaine occasion?
A00980Nay he invites me, and shall I refuse him?
A00980Nay how many are there which deny the Lord, and say it is not he?
A00980Now br ● thren, doe not wee know, and professe the necessitie of these duties?
A00980Now how soveraign a cordiall is this doctrine to those who can truely apply it to their owne soules?
A00980Now if thou desirest to know what course must be taken for effecting this separation: know first, it is the worke of God, for who hath separated thee?
A00980Now in great affaires we never content our selues with any measure of diligence: how shamefull and full of unbeliefe then is this negligence?
A00980Now that thine eyes are opened to see thy vanitie, dost thou lament thy folly, turne thy feet with hast into the good way?
A00980Now what shall it profit mee, if I as those vaunting Pharises justifie my selfe, when the Lord knowes and condemnes me?
A00980Now when so gracious meanes are offered, who takes hold of them?
A00980O you of little faith, why doe you thinke thus?
A00980Offer such service to thy Prince, and try whether he will be content with it, and accept thy person?
A00980Oh canst thou thinke thy best endevours too much for that, for which thy Master( the Wisedome of God) thought not his best bloud too good?
A00980Oh how farre are we from that melting heart of good Iosiah?
A00980Oh how is it, that we are so slothfull in matters concerning our eternall happinesse?
A00980Oh how the soule by it is delighted, ravished, and even here on earth, transported for a time into a third heaven?
A00980Oh then how welcome to mee will be the least hope, that God would lend me a mercifull eare to heare me?
A00980Or how can any man feed too much, when no man can loue enough?
A00980Poore wandring soule, what place now remains for thee?
A00980Remember thy selfe and me, and know I will not hold thee guiltlesse: my curse shall here light vpon thee, how much more hereafter?
A00980Shall I not flye to him for succour?
A00980Shall I say?
A00980Shall I then willingly plucke this infinite misery upon my head?
A00980Shall the wild Olive be grafted in, and we the naturall branches be cut off?
A00980Should I complaine of discouragements, trouble, contempt, poverty, affliction?
A00980Should we heare a Husbandman professe, that he had so much businesse, that he could find no time to plow or sow, who would not thinke the man mad?
A00980So also the reading of the word how is it slighted by men?
A00980So what is the object of hate but contrarietie?
A00980Take heed how thou hearest: why doe wee n ● glect Christ Iesus speaking to us in these glad tydings of salvation?
A00980Tell that Fox: how sharpely and bitterly doth hee abase the Pharises?
A00980The eare is pleased with sweete words, and ● loquent speeches; but how pleasant to a spirituall eare is this upright writing, the words of truth?
A00980The more foule thy sinnes are, the more are thy teares, and sorrow, the more thy loue to thy gracious Lord, pardoning such, and so many offences?
A00980The times which God himselfe hath sanctified for the hearing of his word, is it carefully observed and spent in this employment?
A00980Then thou wilt cry; How haue I hated instruction, and mine heart despised correction?
A00980Then, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver mee from the wrath to come?
A00980These are good signes of life and health: when the wind blowes, dost thou not fli ● out of the floore, and embracest the world?
A00980They are vanitie and vexation of spirit, how then can they bee any part of prosperitie?
A00980They heare the g ● acious promise of God, I Haue no desire that the wicked should die, shall he not live if he returne from his evill way?
A00980They ordained Ministers in every congregation, and was not their word the embassage of God?
A00980They say unto me, where is the word of the Lord?
A00980Thinke you that none but such strait- laced creatures can enter into Gods Kingdome?
A00980This comfortable advantage haue all the Saints: they serue such a Lord to whom they may truely( as David) say, What can David say more unto thee?
A00980This text much confirmes this point: but yet further; Doe we not see many true servants of God, who tremble at his word, liue not prosperously?
A00980Thou art a poore man, need driues thee to worke for thy living; and art thou not more poore, and beggerly in spirit?
A00980Thou art faint with sicknesse; dost thou find that as the outward man perisheth, so the inward man is renewed daily?
A00980Thou enjoyest health, and other blessings: doe they worke upon thy heart to kindle more zeale to God, more loue to his name, and children?
A00980Thou followest thy publike businesse: why so?
A00980Thou in thy life time receiuedst pleasure, therefore now art thou tormented?
A00980Thou loosest the pleasures of sinne, true; and is it not a pittifull thing for a swine to loose his tumbling in the mire?
A00980Thou loosest thy sinfull profits; and is this so woefull a matter, to loose a milstone off thy necke, when thou art now in a deep water?
A00980Thou must provide for thy familie: why so?
A00980Thou which art beggerly in the true, canst thou despise the want of* wicked riches?
A00980Though thou art great, canst thou abase thy selfe to bee a companion of all those that feare the Lord, and keepe his precepts?
A00980Thus in the food and nourishment of sensible bodies what a strange difference doe we see?
A00980To conclude, how shall he runne into all disorder, whose steppes are ordered by God?
A00980To the covetous he suggests, what will you leaue the sweetnes of present gaine for future promises?
A00980To whom will you flie, or where will you leaue your glory?
A00980True: The soule of the di ● ● gent shall haue plentie: But what?
A00980Try here thy wayes, see and consider how far thou hast proceeded in the paths of death: hast thou hearkned to the counsell of the ungodly?
A00980Turne you, cast away all your transgressions, make you a new heart, aud a new spirit, for why will you dye?
A00980Wantest thou spirituall wisedome?
A00980Well now; And hath not Christ commanded, Sweare not at all?
A00980What Christian but must confesse?
A00980What Farmer obserues not a good Land- lord?
A00980What Prince will endure lawes to be by his subje ● ts prescribed to him?
A00980What a cordiall would this bee against all the revilings, contempts, and despitefull usage of the world?
A00980What a shame were this to me, when I heare him professing?
A00980What fire of loue burned in her heart?
A00980What infinite mischiefes and vexations oppressed them in the times of Rehoboam, Iehoram, Ahaz, Manasseh, and such other?
A00980What is the object of scorne, but folly and proud beggerie?
A00980What is there that should not rather incite and hasten me?
A00980What member of Christ art thou, who despisest such as thy head hath crowned with his heavenly Kingdome?
A00980When Christ hath taken us by the hand why doe wee not catch hold on others, such especially as are neere us?
A00980When Satan spoke, Thou art the holy one of God, was it not the truth?
A00980When any lie is brought to us by Satan, the world, or our deceitful hearts, how easily is it entertain ● d?
A00980When that g ● eat Husbandman expostulates with his Vineyard, what could haue been more done unto my vineyard, which I haue not done to it?
A00980When thou hast conversed with the Saints, hast thou not despised that holy fellowship, and skoffed like profane Ismael?
A00980Whence can this behaviour proceede, but from a notorious contempt of God?
A00980Where is thy loue?
A00980Where wilt thou seeke for helpe?
A00980Who accounts himselfe a servant to Christ, bound to waite upon the posts of his doores?
A00980Who can deny, but that there is more difference betweene the dead and the living, then between the weake& strong?
A00980Who sets out a time, and resolues to spend it in this dutie?
A00980Who thinkes himselfe blessed that he may heare him?
A00980Whom shall I teach knowledge?
A00980Why do they, or how can they thinke that man a member of Christ, who was never conformable to his death, by dying to sinne?
A00980Why doe we turn away our eares,& say in heart as those wretched Iewes, we are Lords, wee will no more come at thee?
A00980Why should he employ so many Writers?
A00980Why will you die?
A00980Will he be pleased with thousands of rammes?
A00980Will men yeeld to the voice of God, Keepe not companie with drunkards?
A00980Will you sweare, curse, lie, slander?
A00980Will you walke in the counsell of the ungodly?
A00980Wilt thou turne those calves of thy lippes my due sacrifice, to dogges or hell- hounds barking against thy Creatour?
A00980With the drunkard he will plead; wilt thou change thy merrie companie for such a sowre, and joylesse life?
A00980Yea that the Kingdome of Antichrist shall bee, not a mystery of iniquitie, but an heathen persecution?
A00980an heire with Christ?
A00980and answer, that thou canst doe him as good service at home?
A00980and even broke open our shut eyes, that wee could not but discerne them?
A00980and haue not obeyed the voice of them that taught mee, nor inclined mine eares to them that instructed mee?
A00980and he that ladeth himselfe with thicke clay?
A00980and how much more woefull, that they haue no feeling of this their woefull miserie?
A00980and if he hath loved me when I was an enemie, will he forsake me now he hath seasoned my heart with some measure of loue, and desire of his service?
A00980and is it possible that an immortall Spirit can be blessed by enjoying things fleshly and fading?
A00980and onely for idle times?
A00980and renewing strength hast fortified thy selfe, and art become even impregnable on that side?
A00980and shall not I take it joyfully upon me?
A00980and should I refuse it?
A00980and so scorned that great work of God offering grace unto thee in his Ordinances?
A00980and what?
A00980and where is the feare of him who can kill body and soule?
A00980and who hath separated thee?
A00980and whom shall I make to vnderstand the things that he heareth?
A00980and wilt thou not supply thy necessitie?
A00980and yet what are wee the better in our practise then before?
A00980are they ignorant, that they liue, and so purpose to liue in this estate?
A00980be it either some gracious promise, or sharpe reproofe, how standest thou affected to it?
A00980but the divine indignation, w ch will not spare in the day of vengeance?
A00980but when the spirit of man lies dead in sinne, buried in lust, what can it differ from a Devill incarnate?
A00980by a frequent conversing with God in his word?
A00980darest thou refuse?
A00980detest a slander as well as a slanderer?
A00980do you cōtinue in prayer?
A00980doe they not despise these admonitions not of man but of God; aske them, what profit haue you by such companie?
A00980doe they quicken thee to thankfulnesse?
A00980doe wee feele the ease of this heavenly libertie?
A00980doe you keepe your mouth as with a bridle?
A00980doe you not continually neglect reading, and private meditating in the word?
A00980doe you not let passe private, and Houshold prayers, and the like?
A00980doe you not ordinarily drinke more then is su ● ficient?
A00980doe you not sometimes fall into many inconveniences temporall and spirituall by this societie?
A00980dost thou blow up thy loue to God?
A00980dost thou feele that holy Spirit continually sending forth those streames of grace, nourishing thee to life?
A00980dost thou get nothing by this losse?
A00980dost thou not know, that sentence is past for sinnes of omission?
A00980dost thou not sleepe in the same dust and nakednesse?
A00980doth not the drunkard, swearer curser, Sabboth- break ● r know he liues in sinne, and is under the curse, and wrath of God?
A00980doth thy heart then answer?
A00980feare an oath?
A00980for what life can be in any creature, which desires not( and that necessarily) the meanes whereby this life is maintained, thriues, and prospers?
A00980from a grounded Atheism and wilfull unbeliefe of heart?
A00980from the world?
A00980furnish them with all multiplicity of learning, great variety of gifts, singular, and divers vtterance?
A00980happinesse in worldly misery?
A00980hast thou neither in thought, word, or action sleighted it?
A00980hast thou promised prosperitie and happinesse to all that beare it?
A00980hast thou stood with sinners?
A00980hath not all my life beene fed with vaine promises?
A00980have I not in thy name prophecied?
A00980having chosen him the portion of thine inheritance, dost thou rej ● yce that the lines are fallen unto thee in pleasant places?
A00980he hath died for thee; what hath he promised?

A00980how blessed would this Nation and Church be?
A00980how carefull to follow this Guide?
A00980how detestable the insurrection of unnaturall Absolon against David his King and Father?
A00980how fearefull our awaking?
A00980how few stand thus affected?
A00980how grievous to thy soule is the rebellion of thy wife, child, or servant?
A00980how hainous the rebellion of a child against a father?
A00980how is it possible we should be coldly affected to those meanes which bring us to him, and knit our soules in union with him?
A00980how little thought or spoken of Gods mercy?
A00980how much would wee make of him?
A00980how needie art thou in faith, loue, and those heavenly riches?
A00980how often by this our vntowardnesse doe we compell our most patient Doctour to chide with vs; Can a maid forget her ornament, or a bride her attire?
A00980how poore thy heart in bowels of mercie?
A00980how slightly regarded the strong God of our Salvation?
A00980how soone would those foule spirits plunge my desolate soule into that eternall torment, that lake of fire& brimstone?
A00980how thankfull would we be to the Maister?
A00980how very few that practise it?
A00980if thou hast loue to man, thou wilt; if obedience to God thou must lend him thy helpe?
A00980is it no honour to be the Sonne of God?
A00980labouring to fasten thy soule to Christ in that feare, the bond of our covenant?
A00980learnest to abhorre thy selfe, denie thy self, judge thy selfe?
A00980more precious then all riches?
A00980namely to delight in thine owne good and happines?
A00980nay tipple when you haue no need at all?
A00980nay, Deputie?
A00980no honour?
A00980no riches?
A00980nor felt the power of his resurrection, through that quickning Spirit, renewing him in all holinesse, and righteousnes?
A00980of that, of which thou art onely a Steward, and accountable to thy Master?
A00980or as Herod who beheaded his messenger?
A00980or pref ● ● m ● nt?
A00980or shoul ● bring any profit to any, who is wholy unprofitable?
A00980seeke now for an earthly paradise?
A00980seest thou not how many reproches, what spight, what contempt will meete thee in the face?
A00980shall the beast of thine enemie be more precious in thine eye then the soule of thy brother?
A00980sit downe in the seat of scorners?
A00980so compleate a King, so loving a Father?
A00980so many Speakers?
A00980so that after conviction and checks of conscience thou hast still gone further, and sate downe among the despisers and mockers?
A00980stand in the way of sinners?
A00980that the Devill shall beget Antichrist of a woman,& this woeman must be of the tribe of Dan?
A00980then consid ● r how thou art disposed to the rebuke of Christ: as Moses who preferred it before the treasures of AEgypt?
A00980there is no joy, no solace in it; many by these courses haue come to much sorrow of mind, and never knew merrie houre after: What?
A00980this is the first worke of the spirit in the new creation: hast thou at least so much light, as to discerne with griefe, much darkenesse in thy heart?
A00980this they dare not deny: and why then doe you not use this meanes?
A00980throw away all impediments to come unto Christ that he may giue thee light?
A00980to blesse, to doe good, and that for evill?
A00980to find rest in the graue and hell?
A00980to loue him, desire him, and long for him?
A00980to thinke and speake the best?
A00980wa st thou borne with lands, treasure, or scepters in thy hand?
A00980was I not baptized?
A00980were hee not more then fond, who would send a Guide with a man, who without any direction can as well come to his journeyes end?
A00980were it not madnes then in thee, being an immortall spirit, to forsake all these, and cleaue to earth?
A00980what Courtier doubles not his diligence to a bountifull Prince; that he may still enjoy his favour?
A00980what Father, or Master will be obeyed at his childs or servants discretiō?
A00980what affection of life, where we delight not in that which preserues it?
A00980what claime hast thou to his mercy, who goest on still in wickednesse, and wilt not bee reclaimed?
A00980what credit?
A00980what difference in the graue betweene thy mace and his mattocke?
A00980what diligence in service?
A00980what excuse can all the world yeeld thee?
A00980what feare to lose it?
A00980what good by his intercession, which are condemned with the world?

A00980what trumpet can sound loud enough to awake their dead spirits?
A00980when hee draweth us, why d ● aw not wee those that are linked with us in kind ● ed, friendship, acquaintance, and pull them after?
A00980when they see men over- seene in drinke, heare others sweare; doe they reproue the offender, that he may be found in the faith?
A00980when thou chusest a companion of thy life, canst thou thinke favour deceitfull, and beautie vanity, and take to thee a woman that feareth the Lord?
A00980who can loue him sufficiently who loved to death, whose loue passeth knowledge?
A00980who desires any honour from the King with his displeasure?
A00980who giues up his soule to obedience of this truth?
A00980who opposeth and exalteth himself aboue all that is called God?
A00980who turne the grace of God to wantonnesse, and pervert the Gospell to their confusion, more sharpning themselues to every evill way?
A00980who withdrawes his heart from the subjection of sinne?
A00980why are you so negligent and averse from this practice that you can not be drawne to it, that so many exhortations haue beene spent in vaine upon you?
A00980why boastest thou of thy debts?
A00980why did I not giue up the ghost, when I came out of the belly?
A00980why dost thou call him( and miscallest him not) a miserable man, who by base sparing treasures up abundance of earthly riches?
A00980why then didst not thou giue audience?
A00980why then doe we not call on others, and invite them, Tast, and see how gracious the Lord is?
A00980why will you, or how dare you make it common by doing your owne workes, and speaking your own words on the Lords day?
A00980will hee be pleased with saying Lord, Lord, and calling our selues his servants?
A00980will onely dis- inheriting affright an ingenuous ch ● ld?
A00980wilt thou plead for further audience?
A00980wilt thou say?
A00980wilt thou suffer me to fall into eternall shame, and confusion?
A00980with the beginning Christian; seest thou not all men generally goe another way?
A00980yet doe they reforme their wayes; and make conscience of dutie, when they haue warning from God?
A00980● when wilt thou arise out of sleepe?
A27998''T is strange, that Man has so far lost his Sight; Has not th''Almighty giv''n to guide him right, Reason, a Portion of Etherial Light?
A27998A Man, like Iob, say, have you ever known So Arrogant, and so Licentious grown?
A27998Ah, why didst thou desert thy Country''s Cause?
A27998Am I a Marble Rock that can not feel?
A27998Am I a furious Monster of the Main, That thou in Fetters dost my Rage restrain?
A27998Am I a vast, a wild, Impetuous Deep, That thou art forc''d to set thy Watch, and keep Me thus in Bounds?
A27998Am I so weak, and of so short a reach, That I must still be taught the Common Theme Of God''s Imperial Sway, and Power supreme?
A27998Among the Gods of all the Nations round, Equal to thee is any found?
A27998And bless thy God; for what?
A27998And did in sandy Chains the Billows keep?
A27998And has thy Birth with Time an equal date?
A27998And if thou call''st for Rain, will Rain descend?
A27998And make him like a wretched Insect quake?
A27998And must it not have been a Critick of extraordinary Sagacity that should have found out his Seat in Middlesex, or at the Land''s End?
A27998And on his former Love can he reflect, And me at last, tho''unprovok''d, reject?
A27998And shall a Man his Innocence defend?
A27998And then to fit it for the Farmer''s use, Thro''all the heaving Soil prolific heat diffuse?
A27998And thus absurdly and perversly speak?
A27998And when the Day of Vengeance does appear, The Wretch will cry, but will th''Almighty hear?
A27998And who has Understanding to declare How he extends his Clouds, and makes the Air The pondrous Burden of the Water bear?
A27998And who the place of Understanding knows: Since after strict enquiry we despair To find it in the Land, the Sea, or Air?
A27998And who with Understanding fill''d his Heart?
A27998And wilt thou Man regard, and condescend With such a Wretch in Judgment to contend?
A27998And with Rewards approve your pious Fraud?
A27998And yet shall discontented Iob debate His Case with God, and quarrel with his Fate?
A27998Any that can with Rival Glory shine, And shew as perfect Holiness as thine?
A27998Apostate, whence Com''st thou to these blest Seats of Innocence?
A27998Are Forrest Beasts by thee with Food supply''d, For hungry Lyons do''s thy Care provide?
A27998Are all my Muscles Brass, my Sinews Steel?
A27998Art thou the Man that God did first Create?
A27998As if he ne''er did Righteousness regard, And did the Impious, not the Just reward?
A27998Astonish''d, they these questions oft repeat, Where can we find him now?
A27998At last convinc''d, they whisper''d, sure''t is he; But, O, how chang''d with Pain and Poverty?
A27998At thy Command will ready Lightnings fly, And Peals of Thunder ring around the Sky?
A27998At whose command do Winds whole Tempests blow; That in those Forges make the Metal glow?
A27998Because his Strength is great, wilt thou presume To let him bring thy gather''d Harvest home?
A27998But ca n''t the meanest Man that passes by, To this demand convincingly reply?
A27998But say to whom dost thou address thy Speech?
A27998But upon what Authority is this imposed on the World?
A27998But what if I of Man alone complain?
A27998But who was by their Wealth to Envy mov''d, Or who their impious Words or Ways approv''d?
A27998But whoe''er entertain''d a doubtful Thought If God this State of Things ordain''d, or not?
A27998But why do I demand a Cause Of your Amazement, which deserves Applause?
A27998But will your empty Speeches never end, Disarm''d and vanquish''d, will you still contend?
A27998By Iob''s appointment does the Sun display His Morning Beams, and bless the World with Day?
A27998By Violence whoever undertook, To fasten in his Nose the servile Hook?
A27998By envious Life why is he countermin''d?
A27998By thee enabled does he wing his Flight, Thro''the thin Gulph, swift as a Ray of Light?

A27998Must we conduct thee to a narrow Tomb, For whom the World before had scarce sufficient room?
A27998Must we not answer, lest we should displease?
A27998My Neighbours cry, when they my Suff''rings see, Is Iob thus chang''d?
A27998O, can a God of Mercy cruel grow, No Pity feel, no tender Passion show?
A27998O, dost thou not unthoughtful Iacob, know Who made the Heav''ns above and Earth below?

A13538And, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A13538And, can an enemie of God, an impenitent sinner haue the face, or any hope to goe to God for safetie and hiding?
A13538And, were it fit for a subiect by poste to send for the King?
A13538Are these the fruits of so long hearing, of praying, and cōming to Church?
A13538Are these the lessons thou learnest?
A13538Are wee not commanded to be soft and gentle vnto all men, and to instruct them with all meekenesse, considering our selues were once deceiued?
A13538Art thou a willing slaue to it?
A13538Art thou in any trouble, or vnder any molestation of Satan or wicked men, vnder reproch, scandall, hatred, persecution,& c?
A13538Art thou sicke in thy soule, or pained in thy body, and seest no way but present death?
A13538Baltazer indeede was merrie, and in his Reuels with his Princes: but what cause had hee, when the Hand- writing appeared on the wall?
A13538Besides, seest thou not what a fearefull debt one sinne of ADAM hath brought vpon vs all?
A13538Besides, will it stand with Gods wisedome, to bestow and giue mercy to him that refuseth and despiseth it, or to fill with mercy the vessels of wrath?
A13538But God is euery- where present, and what neede wee seeke him?
A13538But by what meanes shall I thus keepe my heart?
A13538But doe not the best finde such deceit in doing good, as that they haue great cause to bewaile it?
A13538But doe you not thinke now that the false heart hath chosen her selfe good Schoole- masters?
A13538But hee was fully assured, the Father of the faithfull, and an eminent man: what is that to vs, who are farre behinde him?
A13538But how are these men wofully deluded, that thinke themselues safest and best, when God is farthest off them?
A13538But how can a man make his sinnes knowne to God by confession, seeing he knowes them before?
A13538But how can a man pray for the holy Ghost and obtayne him, when he hath him already?
A13538But how farre are men from seeing their estate?
A13538But how is this remission of sinne free, if wee can not haue it without these conditions of faith, repentance, confession,& c?
A13538But how is this remission sealed vp vnto them?
A13538But how may we make God our hiding place?
A13538But how shall I come to haue experience of God?
A13538But how shall I know, that God will bee my hiding place?
A13538But how standeth this with all those euills and miseries, with which the godly are beset in this life?
A13538But how will all this stand with those many places of Scripture?
A13538But in this latter sort doth not the Commaundement of God plainely fight with his decree, when he commandeth that which he would not haue done?
A13538But is no heart sincere, but that which is without sinne?
A13538But is not this to delude men, to command them to beleeue who can not beleeue?
A13538But is this no imputing of sinne, seeing wee pay the whole debt in our surety?
A13538But is this not to impute sinne, to iudge a sinner as no sinner?
A13538But many are the woes and miseries of the godly, and therefore what is it better to bee a godly man then a wicked?
A13538But may we not looke at second causes?
A13538But now, though the fault bee hainous and too common, what is the reason the multitude so exclames vpon it?
A13538But seeing God knowes all so well, why must we confesse to him?
A13538But seeing the wicked are deliuered from troubles as well as the godly, out of many iudgements, what priuiledge is this?
A13538But sense and reason is against all these your sayings: What?
A13538But this is strange, that wee must ioy euen in sorrow; how can a man reioyce and sorrow at the same time?
A13538But vvherein stands this mercy, vvhereunto prayer must be coupled?
A13538But was not Dauid farre ouerseene, to confesse onely to God?
A13538But what gets a man by his obstinacie and frowardnesse against God?
A13538But what hath God promised to any wicked man so persisting?
A13538But what?
A13538But whence was this safetie?
A13538But whether may an vnregenerate Minister saue and conuert a man?
A13538But why doe the Papists thus cofer vp the Scriptures now?
A13538But, how can confession be sound, before sin bee pardoned, seeing nothing can be acceptable where sinne is not pardoned?
A13538By what markes may I try my ioy, whether it be spirituall and in the Lord, or no?
A13538Call now if any will answere, and to which of the Saints wilt thou turne?
A13538Can Ministers remooue burdens, giue a couer large enough, and remit anothers debt?
A13538Can a man, setting himselfe before God, confesse that sinne which he purposeth to liue in and hold and not forsake?
A13538Can a mother forget her child?
A13538Can he euer looke to come where God is, and not walke in Gods way?
A13538Can hee, that is able by the prayer of faith with Israel to preuaile with God, want abundance of blessings?
A13538Can one man carry both Magistracie and Ministrie?
A13538Can that man bee other then beset with mercy, who hath a meanes to get within Gods store- house and treasury when hee will?
A13538Can they be beset both with misery and mercy too?
A13538Can we looke for a Sea of mercy from God, and will not let one drop fall on our brethren?
A13538Come to the Drunkard; why?
A13538Come, Let vs goe downe and see, if it be according to the cry of Sodome: how can hee goe downe, who is euery where?
A13538Dauid was a King, how then commeth he to professe himselfe a Prophet or Teacher in the Church?
A13538Did Christ or any of his Apostles bring in the trueth by fire or sword?
A13538Did God send it for a doctrine of peace?
A13538Did not Dauid hide himselfe in Woods, in Caues, Holes and Rockes?
A13538Did not I forgiue thee all?
A13538Did shee not wallow in her blood and filthinesse?
A13538Did shee want meanes?
A13538Diddest thou then euer finde a change in thy selfe, that thou wouldest not for a world bee the same man thou vvast and hold the same courses?
A13538Doe men neede spurres and prouocations to vnchastitie and filthinesse?
A13538Doe the godly seeke God in prayer?
A13538Doe we improue our day of visitation according to the light and meanes that we haue?
A13538Doe we lacke motiues?
A13538Doe we trafficke with our talent to our Masters aduantage and not our owne?
A13538Doe wee walke as redeemed from vaine conuersation?
A13538Doe you then condemne all confession of man to man?
A13538Doest thou accomplish and fulfill the lusts of it?
A13538Doest thou professe seruice to God, and yet let Sinne and Satan toile thee with such infinite burdens, vnder which thou canst not stand?
A13538Doest thou reioyce to draw thy friend to drinke a cup of poyson?
A13538Doeth the Lord thus compasse the godly with such mercies?
A13538Doth any burden of misery or crosse, inward or outward presse thee?
A13538Doth any sinne oppresse thy conscience?
A13538Doubting and Faith may stand, and will dwell together; else would not Christ haue said, O thou of little faith, why doubtedst thou?
A13538Else why was not Sauls sinne remitted, seeing it was confessed?
A13538Ephraim shall say, What haue I more to doe with Idols?
A13538Euill is present with me?
A13538Examine thy selfe by this, hath the flesh and the corruptions of it any dominion ouer thee as a voluntarie vassal?
A13538Fifthly, he that would build a firme house, must lay a sure foundation; and wilt thou lay the foundation of thy happinesse in the dust?
A13538Fiftly, What a mercy is it, peculiar to the Saints, to haue peace of conscience, and ioy of their estate?
A13538Fiftly, must vve praise God for euill, and for affliction, and for taking away?
A13538Findest thou that thy ignorance pleaseth thee not, and thy will conformeth it selfe to Gods will?
A13538First, by faith, leaning vpon the promises: For what good can all the promises of God do, being not mingled& tempred with faith?
A13538First, consider God hath made thee a man, and wilt thou by this propertie debase thy selfe, and equall thy selfe with beasts?
A13538First, how little doe wee see what vnprofitable seruants wee are, when wee haue done all wee can?
A13538First, it argues and brings a man into a weake state, which is very comfortlesse: what a grieuous burden is debt aboue a mans abilitie?
A13538First, this sincere heart brings the person into acceptance with God: for whom doth he approue, but such as walke before him vprightly?
A13538For the further opening of the wordes, sundrie questions are to be answered, as, First, Why is the Prophet so harsh and sharpe vvith his Scholers?
A13538For what is this glasse?
A13538For who euer heard, that chastitie was learned in the Stewes, or honestie at Playes?
A13538Fourthly, What an inexhaust treasure of mercy is it, that the godly enioy?
A13538Fourthly, how doe we cast our eyes onely on that, which God can giue, and not vpon that hee hath giuen, or we can receiue?
A13538Fourthly, how highly doth God esteeme of a man or woman of a broken heart?
A13538Fourthly, how vnlike are these men vnto God, who sets out sinne in a most odious sort?
A13538Fourthly, is it so, that God remits onely the sinnes of repentants?
A13538Fourthly, what can minister true ioy to him, that hath no part in any of Gods Ordinances, which begin and perfect the ioy of Gods people?
A13538Fourthly, what doe the Scriptures else teach vs, while euery- where they make the particulars of our comfort, fruits of this root?
A13538Fourthly, where were Gods truth, if he should forgiue the sinnes of impenitent and vnbeleeuing ones?
A13538Fourthly, who can forgiue sinne but he?
A13538Further, we must so consider our selues in times past, as wee forget not our selues for the present: Are vvee now healed?
A13538God first called Adam, and said, Adam, where art thou?
A13538Had Adam considered of Eues gift, had hee been so deceiued?
A13538Hast thou then had a care and true desire of reconciliation?
A13538Hast thou then subiected thy reason, affections, and delights vnto grace?
A13538Hath hee smitten him as hee smote those that smote him?
A13538Hath my Lord prouided with so much cost, so great saluation for my soule?

A13538How can God account of sinne as no sinne?
A13538How can hee aske mercy, that hath no part in mercy?
A13538How can sinne bee couered, since God seeth it, and can not but know all things, past, present, and to come?
A13538How can they make account of safety in danger, who to hide themselues from persecution of the Gospell, leaue it vpon the plaine field?
A13538How can this be, seeing faith is a full assurance and certaine perswasion?
A13538How canst thou then claime any one promise( and much lesse all) when thou neuer keptest the least condition of faith and repentance?
A13538How carryeth he vs in his armes, saues vs from danger, and maintaynes our peace of soule and body, our health and reputation?

A13538How did Simeon reioyce, when he had Christ in his armes?

A13538How know you that?
A13538How lamentably doe men abuse their wits, their strength and health to drunkennesse, surfetting, and vncleannesse?
A13538How many sinnes are there, which God hath not let them know?
A13538How many such flashes made Pharaoh?
A13538How many, of vvhich he hath let vs know the pardon?
A13538How may I know that my sorrow is from God?
A13538How may I know which is the right way to goe in?
A13538How much more will a sound Christian, who carries him in his heart?

A13538How vvardeth he vs all the day long, feedes vs, and leades vs in our going in and out?
A13538How was the poore widdowes oile increased, when shee sowed mercie to Elias in his want?
A13538How?
A13538I am then no godly man: for I haue prayed long, and God will not bee found; must I not feare my estate?
A13538If Abraham had considered the counsell of Sarah, would hee haue taken Agar into his bosome?
A13538If Eue had considered of the Serpents words, had she, and had we by her been such losers?
A13538If a malefactor were condemned, and at the place of execution, what is it that would make him happy?
A13538If a man be going to warre, had he not need cast his accounts, and prepare all necessaries, and fit himselfe against all difficulties?

A13538If the Lord impute not sinne, how can he iustly punish it?
A13538If the way to heauen be so strawed with crosses and heauinesse, what is the way to hell and of wickednesse strawed with, but woes and curses?
A13538If thou hatest her in thine heart, why doest not thou put her away?
A13538If weakenesses in his children, what shall wickednesse in his enemies?
A13538If wee professe our selues the Sonnes of God, how are we so rough against our brethren, so without pittie and charitable disposition?
A13538If you, being euill, can giue good things to your children, how much more will your heauenly Father?
A13538Ignorant, while they dispute of knowledge?
A13538In a matter of such moment as the saluation of his owne foule?
A13538In bodily dangers, what a prop doth this doctrine giue vs?
A13538In molestation by externall aduersaries; What?
A13538In regard hereof say, Lord, who knoweth the errours of this life?
A13538In the want of inward comforts say to thy soule, Why art thou cast downe, my soule?
A13538In the want of outward things, say to thy selfe; God out of his loue hath giuen me his owne Sonne, and will hee not giue mee all things with him?

A13538Is it not damnable enough for men to walke on in the vvayes of damnation themselues, vnlesse they raile at the way of trueth and life?
A13538Is it the essence of God?
A13538Is my sinne against a Priest or against the Pope of Rome, that he must bestow pardon on me?
A13538Is not this a brand taken out of the fire?
A13538Is the godly man he, that shall pray and find mercy?
A13538Is this cruell religion of God?
A13538Is this so?
A13538Is this the returne of thy prayer?
A13538It is the troubled spirit that God respects, and at whom else doth the Lord looke?
A13538Iudge therefore of thy selfe and others with a righteous iudgement: if heauen approoue thee, care not if earth cast thee out?
A13538Know thine iniquitie: How?
A13538Lastly, whom deales Dauid withall, but obstinate and wilfull sinners, vvho are no better then corrupt and brutish nature made them?
A13538Lay it in honor; what a vanishing thing is that, like the footsteps of a ship in the Sea, carried with a strong gale?
A13538Lay it in wealth, they haue wings; and when they fly away, so doth thy happinesse: why doest thou trust a fugitiue seruant?
A13538Let no man aduenture on any sinne, because it is little: say not as Lot did of Zoar, Is it not a little one, and my soule may liue in it?
A13538Lord, when saw wee thee hungry, or thirsty, or in prison, or naked, and ministred not to thee?
A13538Manasseh set vp Idols, sought to witches, yea himselfe was a Magician or Coniurer, and what was his practice?

A13538Must thou needs run out of doores, because a storme or tempest is comming?
A13538No comfort shall bee comfortable to him: for when the spirit, which should sustaine all a mans infirmities, failes him, what can sustaine him?
A13538No?
A13538Now can an Hypocrite euer reioyce in God?
A13538Now he begins to consider what a wofull estate he was in, he thinkes of his fathers house: but with what face can he behold the face of his father?
A13538Now, lest they should say, We haue preuailed, and, Where is now their God?
A13538Numbers of men neuer finde any want of God, they finde the want of health and wealth, of friends and meanes: many say, Who will shew vs any good?
A13538O Lord, why hast thou hardned our hearts from thy wayes?
A13538O Lord, why hast thou made vs to erre from thy wayes, and hardned our heart from thy feare?
A13538O geration of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flye from the wrath to come?
A13538O, but what speake you this against the Religion of the Church of Rome?
A13538Of all these in generall will one day bee said, Who required these things at your hands?
A13538Of what religion were the Egyptians that kept vnder the Israelites so tyrannically, but barbarous, wicked, and idolatrous?
A13538Oh but then all shall bee well, if all these mercies shall compasse him that trusts in God; for, who trusts not in God?
A13538Oh how excellent is thy mercy?
A13538Oh( saith one) he hates me, it is I that he reproues; What needes all this adoe?
A13538Oh, but it may continue long, and what needes such haste?
A13538Oh, how vnmercifull are they, that make but a iest of mens sinnes?
A13538Oh, saith the world, this is not the child of God: Why?
A13538Oh, what a deale of labour vvould it saue vs, if men vvere able and vvilling to apply doctrine to themselues?
A13538Oh, what hath he to doe with me?
A13538Or is he slaine according to the slaughter of them that were slaine by him,& c?
A13538Or is this glasse a bright and glorious light, as some say?
A13538Or that horrible massacre of the Christians in France, the like whereof was neuer seene in any Nation?
A13538Our great men vnder Kings vvould haue said so, but Dauid put it vp; and indeede, where had he beene but for Nathans plaine dealing?
A13538Peter could not iustifie the quantity of his loue, when Christ asked him this question; Peter, louest thou me more then these?
A13538Secondly, If wee be so happie in Priuatiue mercies, what shall we be in Positiue?
A13538Secondly, Why doth he name these creatures, the Horse and the Mule, and not the Lyon or any other?
A13538Secondly, against the light and checkes of conscience, and is this nothing?
A13538Secondly, doest thou finde the will present with thee?
A13538Secondly, he onely can properly forgiue sinne: Who is a God like vnto thee, that passest by the sinnes of thy people, saith the holy man?
A13538Secondly, how comes the body to be troubled by the minde?
A13538Secondly, how doe wee harpe vpon our wants more then our receits, so to depriue God of his glorie, and our selues of comfort?
A13538Secondly, how partiall are wee in our thankesgiuing?
A13538Secondly, if the sorrow of the godly for sinne be not alwaies godly sorrow, what shall we thinke of the wicked mans sorrow?
A13538Secondly, is not the Word a Sword?
A13538Secondly, must a man set himselfe against himselfe in his confessions?
A13538Secondly, must we giue an account of euery idle word?
A13538Secondly, spirituall things; euen in these also how hath God compassed vs with mercies euen for the present?
A13538Secondly, walke as a man released of thy heauy burden, and now at ease and liberty: How thankfull was Dauid when he escaped the burden of one sinne?
A13538Secondly, what a wonderfull mercie shall compasse vs in our immediate vnion and coniunction with Christ our Head, by which we shall be like him?
A13538See we not, that our soules in their swaruing from God, are like bones beside the ioynt?
A13538Seeke and yee shall finde; if the godly seeke and find not?
A13538Shall I beleeue the greater, and not beleeue the lesse?
A13538Shall I hide me vnder the Saints wings?
A13538Shall I not drinke of the cup that my Father hath giuen me to drinke?
A13538Shall he giue me heauen, and not earth?
A13538Shall the Lord himselfe be pressed vnder the burden of thy sinnes, as a Cart laden with sheaues, and art not thou?
A13538Shall there be euill in the Citie, and the Lord hath not done it?
A13538Shall we cast a pearle to a swine?
A13538Shall we not pray for daily bread, because we haue bread?
A13538Should an Husbandman measure himselfe by his seede- time, what is there but labour and losse?
A13538Sixthly, if God should bestow remission of sinnes in generall to all, what neede is there of any grace, what vse of the feare of God, of faith,& c?
A13538So Amnon was merry in his brother Absoloms House, but what cause had hee, seeing men were appointed presently to kill him?
A13538So in Peter, how was he ouermastered by his flesh?
A13538Some of our ignorant people thanke God they can serue God and say their Prayers as well as any: but what Prayers?
A13538Sorrowes of the godly like the sorrow of a woman in trauell why?
A13538The Corinths might haue said, What haue wee to doe with the examples of those, that liued in the Old Testament?
A13538The Egyptians were terrible enemies to the Church; did God euer smite his Church as he smote them?
A13538The blinde Iewes could say, Who can forgiue sinnes but God?
A13538These men say to the Ministers, as the Sodomites did to Lot, Shall hee iudge and rule?
A13538Thinke we not, that Iosephs brethren held on a forme of Religion, while their sinne troubled them not for so many yeeres?
A13538Thinke yee that those, on whom the Tower of Siloam fell, were greater debters then the rest?
A13538Thirdly, Who can tell or reck on the summe of those mercies that we shall enioy in respect of that glorious inheritance of the Saints in light?
A13538Thirdly, a change of the whole man in affection and action: what a change was wrought in the Iaylour vpon his conuersion?
A13538Thirdly, consider what a wofull threatning is sent out against such as will not seeke the Lord?
A13538Thirdly, doth not euery man desire, that the strong man were cast out of his heart?
A13538Thirdly, get sinceritie of heart: for, Can an hypocrite delight himselfe in the Almightie?
A13538Thirdly, how doe wee rather repine at that which others haue, then consider what is our owne need?
A13538Thirdly, if thou diddest hate these sinnes and errors as enemies, why doest thou not raise thy power against them?
A13538Thirdly, is not the sorrow of godly men, alwaies godly sorrow, out of which they can reape ioy and comfort?
A13538Thirdly, thou that owest the least, doest thou not owe too much already?
A13538Thirdly, who can deny,( that doth but looke on the externall shape of man and beast) but that GOD hath put a plaine distinction betweene them?
A13538Thirdly, why hath the Lord thought good to send both sanctified men, and vnsanctified?
A13538This is Tophet, prepared for the wicked, in which one word how many sorrowes be there?
A13538This whole Psalme teacheth it, in the beginning of which how was Dauid deiected?
A13538Thou that art of the frozen generation, that needest a Boanerges, a sonne of thunder, why expectest thou a Bar- Ionah?
A13538Thou that hast not found God vpon thy prayer, tell me, Hast thou prayed, that God would heare thee therein, and direct thee to pray aright?
A13538Thou that teachest another, doest not thou teach thy selfe?
A13538Thus Dauid often complaines, Will the Lord absent himselfe for euer?
A13538Vicious persons, while they entreat of vertue?
A13538WHat?
A13538Was Christs righteous heart euer destitute of faith?
A13538Was Ionas euer more compassed with mercies then when he was in his owne sense cast off, and compassed with Waues and Weedes?
A13538Was Israel euer more compassed with mercie, then when they were compassed with Mountaines, Sea, Enemies, Death, and deadly things?
A13538Were it not thus, how durst they prouoke the eyes of Gods glorie?
A13538What a great mercy was it, when Christ opened the eyes of the blinde, or healed the deafe and lame, yea or when hee raised Lazarus being dead?
A13538What a shame is it to infringe so excellent priuiledges?
A13538What an intolerable burden of sinne complaines he of?
A13538What are they but lyars, while without this they dispute of truth?
A13538What are we silly wormes to him?
A13538What be the bridles, wherewith God curbeth obstinate sinners?
A13538What can mooue to this dutie, if this doe not mooue vs?
A13538What doth all this proue, but that, if we were as rich as Adam in innocencie, yet wants of considering our estate would lay vs to spoile?
A13538What fruit had yee of those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
A13538What fruit had you in those things, whereof yee are now ashamed?
A13538What fruit had you of those things, whereof yee are now ashamed?
A13538What good can a conditionall promise doe him, that no way performes the condition?
A13538What hath he to doe with my pleasures and dealings?
A13538What haue I to do with your sacrifices?
A13538What haue they to doe whether they sinke or swimme?
A13538What horrible slaughters haue beene done on Protestants, in France, Flanders, Spaine?
A13538What hurt could a Boy of eight yeeres old doe to their religion, who yet for that was scourged to death in Bonners house?
A13538What if thou art not in the degree of Faith, which Abraham was in?
A13538What indignation hath this wrought in you?
A13538What is the reason then, that the most men neuer feele this burden?
A13538What is the reason?
A13538What makes vs content our selues in winter, when we see all things dead and withered?
A13538What man saith not, hee beleeues, that hee shal be saued?
A13538What maruel, if Satan and all other deceiue those, who are so willing to deceiue themselues?
A13538What may wee thinke of the mercilesse inquisition in Spaine?
A13538What meane others by their ridiculous distinction of Gnats and Camells in the matter of sinne, as though any were in it selfe a Gnat?
A13538What mischiefs haue we heard of by a little sparke?
A13538What neede of the death of Christ?
A13538What neede these fellowes make Pulpit- matters of euery thing?
A13538What of that religion, that blowes vp Massacres, Rebellions, Seditions, Treasons in all Countreys?
A13538What of that religion, which committeth Kings and Emperours together, making them Wolues and Tygers one to another?
A13538What remaines, but either the mercy of the Creditor, or perpetuall prison?
A13538What saith Christ?
A13538What say many miscreants?
A13538What sowrenesse in the whole lumpe by a little Leauen?
A13538What stirres, tumults, martyrdoms and butcheries haue been outragiously committed on the poore Saints?
A13538What tell you me of Iob, a iust man, fearing God, not a man like him on the earth?
A13538What tell you vs of Elias, that was rapt in a fiery Charet?
A13538What then shall become of those, who neuer pray, neuer sorrow for sinne, but sell themselues to commit wickednesse?
A13538What then?
A13538What troubles him?
A13538What wisheth hee aboue the vvorld?
A13538What?
A13538What?
A13538What?
A13538What?
A13538What?
A13538What?
A13538What?
A13538What?
A13538What?
A13538When Moses and the Israclites were compassed with Sea, Mountaines, and Enemies, how were they hid and couered with the promise onely?
A13538When the Eunuch read the Prophesie of Esay, and Philip asked him if hee vnderstood the place, How can I( sayd he) without a guide?
A13538When the two Disciples asked Christ, if they should call for fire from heauen against the Cities that receiued thē not?
A13538When we set our selues to be thankful, how sleight, how short are we in this dutie& part of Gods worship?
A13538Where be the Papists, that teach some sinnes to be veniall in their owne nature, when as all these sorrowes are the wages of the least?
A13538Wherefore should ye be smitten any more?
A13538Whether hath a man free- will and power to change and conuert himselfe?
A13538Whether of these words shall stand?
A13538Who after all this can doubt of the wickednesse of the Romish Religion?
A13538Who could more accuse the poore Publican then he did himselfe?
A13538Who hath done this but the firebrands of Babylon?
A13538Who hath kindled so many furnaces to burne the bodies of Gods Saints in all Christendome, but that meeke sonne of perdition, whose mercies are cruell?
A13538Who is this righteous man?
A13538Who were they that cried, How long, Lord how long?
A13538Whom haue I in Heauen but thee?
A13538Whom?
A13538Why art thou cast downe, O my soule?
A13538Why art thou so farre from the words of my complaint?
A13538Why did Nebuzaradan fauour Ieremie?
A13538Why did hee not goe to the Priest, and tell all his sinnes in his eare?
A13538Why doth God command men to beleeue this or that, and not intend that they should doe so in the euent?
A13538Why doth he make the Word in a sanctified mans mouth oftentimes the sauour of death?
A13538Why doth he thus forget himselfe and his fame?
A13538Why doth the Prophet vse such variety of phrases, as, easing, couering, not imputing of sinne?
A13538Why hidest thou thy selfe, O Lord, in due time, euen in affliction?
A13538Why may it not doe a little euill, that great good may come of it?
A13538Why then doth God giue these things to wicked men?
A13538Why, say some, did not Christ dye for all and euerie man?
A13538Why?
A13538Will I eate the flesh of Bulls, or drinke the bloud of Goates?
A13538Will they deliuer vs?
A13538Wilt thou auoide the flames of natural fire, by kindling the fire of Gods wrath against thee, yea, the flames of hell within thee?
A13538Wilt thou being a man put off manhood, and lay aside thy minde and the powers, which God hath giuen thee to distinguish thee from a beast?
A13538Wilt thou in so small a thing incurre the Lords so high displeasure?
A13538Wilt thou saue thy life, by flying from Christ, who is the way and the life?
A13538Would wee laugh, to see a man pulling a mill- stone vpon himselfe, and crushing himselfe all to pieces?
A13538Wouldest thou haue an Ocean of mercie fall vpon thee?
A13538Yee aske, and haue not, saith IAMES, because yee aske amisse: and when doe wee aske amisse?
A13538a guide and not able to guide himselfe?
A13538a purpose of heart to cleaue vnto him, and to keepe his fauour which thou iudgest better then life it selfe?
A13538a true sorrow, that euer thou offendedst so good a God?
A13538against lyars, and yet there is no trueth in thine owne wordes?
A13538and all in vaine?
A13538and are not thy sinnes for weight and number, like the sands of the Sea- shore?
A13538and how can hee but see, who is all an eye?
A13538and if the righteous scarcely be saued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare?
A13538and indeed, what cause is there, that he should be so bid?
A13538and is it now no other then a make- bate?
A13538and miserable Creatures, while without it they grope at true blessednesse?
A13538and must thou therefore depart from thy secret place?
A13538and not for good, and for giuing?
A13538and not of euery idle song, which is hurtfull to our selues and others, and keepes out better?
A13538and now doeth it serue to breed them?
A13538and now to impaire the trueth?
A13538and shall I neuer bee remembred?
A13538and shall not they bee saued, for whom Christ dyed?
A13538and shall not wee labour to make men loue and like the truth?
A13538and shall prophane wretches, that haue set their faces all their dayes against heauen, thinke to bee heard in the day of their distresse and death?
A13538and sometimes God giues more then our request, and is this a denyall?
A13538and take no time to repaire himselfe, and hurts sustained by inconsideratenesse?
A13538and what experience haue our owne soules, how he daily forgets and forgiues innumerable sinnes?
A13538and what was all their prayers and confessions all that while but silence?
A13538and when hee spoke, what rough and churlish words gaue he to a woman in that distresse, calling her a Dogge?
A13538and who doth this but Nebuchadnezzar the head of this Babylon?
A13538and whom haue I in comparison of thee?
A13538and why should God vse him in the one chiefe ende of his calling, and not in the other?
A13538and will he be neuer more intreated?
A13538and will he neglect to saue and preserue my bodie?
A13538and will he neuer be more intreated?
A13538and will hee not beate backe the endeuours and vniust practices of my enemies?
A13538and wilt not thou let a drop fall on thy brother?
A13538and yet, what good guide in the Ministrie meeteth not with such vnnaturall dealing from naturall and vngodly men?
A13538and, how can he haue any elsewhere if not from that?
A13538because he loued good men?
A13538by what pattents?
A13538can a man be thus perswaded, and yet not feele it?
A13538can not God, without the condition of repentance and sorrow and confession of sinne, remit sinne, and conferre fauour vpon sinners?
A13538did God giue the Scripture for a remedie, and is it turned to poyson?
A13538did euer godly man auoide them?
A13538did his Father euer cease to loue him?
A13538did it once serue as a hammer to bruise errors?
A13538doest thou preach against drunkennesse, and art an intemperate person, a companion of drunkards?
A13538doth not the Lord loue those whom he chasteneth?
A13538euery man must carry his owne burden: how then can Christ?
A13538hast not thou also abused thy health, peace,& c. and thereby forfeited them?
A13538hast thou denyed thy selfe, that whatsoeuer the Spirit in the Word suggesteth, it is thy whole heart to vndertake it?
A13538hast thou more sense of the groning of a beast, then of thy brother?
A13538hath God forgotten to bee mercifull?
A13538hath he forgotten to be mercifull?
A13538hath hee shut vp his tender mercies in displeasure?
A13538hath my Lord and head foiled the Deuill for me, troden Satan vnder my feet, and trampled vpon all spirituall enmities for mee?
A13538haue I a promise for that I pray for?
A13538haue not the enemies with their violent inundations come neere, yea, and almost ouerturned the whole Church?
A13538he was of another temper, and said, Dost thou enuie for me?
A13538hee that doeth the greater, will not hee doe the lesse?
A13538how comes it to passe, that the godly feele such sorrow in sinne pardoned, and the wicked feele nothing in sinne vnpardoned?
A13538how could they forget these, at least so soone?
A13538how did hee roare night and day vnder the heauie hand of God?
A13538how did his moysture drie vp as in the drought of Summer?
A13538how farre from the disposition of the godly, who thinke nothing so vile and hatefull as sinne?
A13538how long wilt thou forget me?
A13538how many sickemen on their beds haue in their affliction sought God?
A13538how miserable in not seeing their miserie?
A13538how quickely then would they come to Gods mercy- gate?
A13538how shall we be compassed with them?
A13538how then can men reape any ioy out of carnall and contrary meanes?
A13538how vnconformable to Gods Law, that sets an eternall curse vpon the head of the least sinne?
A13538how were his bones dryed and broken?
A13538how will this stand with Gods Iustice?
A13538if Christ will confesse thee, let thy friends deny thee?
A13538if God iustifie, who can condemne?
A13538if assurance of remission follow sound confession, what shall I thinke of my selfe?
A13538if infirmities be so lashed, what shall rebellions?
A13538in what estate?
A13538is it because they hate the sinne?
A13538is not God pleased with that religion, which he hath prospered so long?
A13538is the Word in his mouth strong meate; and can not it be milke too?
A13538is this a forgiuenesse of a debt, to exact it wholly?
A13538it lies euery- where vpon thee: and of actuall sinnes without number?
A13538may not I hope my sinnes are pardoned?
A13538may wee not ioy in outward things, as meat, drinke, wife, children, wealth, honour?
A13538must Gods children heare the Law applyed?
A13538must it not sinke?
A13538neuer felt doubting nor trouble of conscience?
A13538nor torment of heart?
A13538not to require the sinne, not to inflict the penaltie?
A13538of Marie Magdalen possessed with seuen deuils?
A13538of many of Gods children bewitched and vexed with the deuill?
A13538oh goc and meet him?
A13538oh, what ioy and delight shall there bee in the Kings marriage, and in the meeting of so many good friends together?
A13538or can hee bee present where euer the beames of the Sunne are?
A13538or fuller, because many eate?
A13538or how can he be heard in mercy, to whom mercy belongs not?
A13538or if hee doe, how can he be iust?
A13538or is there a graue in thy heart, neuer full?
A13538or shall not we say, Forgiue vs our sinnes, because wee beleeue the remission of our sinnes?
A13538or that the frost- bitten rootes, and blasted blades should neuer spring forth to flower or seed?
A13538or were hee not mad, who should therefore refuse it?
A13538or what bond of theirs haue I broken, which they can release mee of?
A13538or who can thinke it acceptable vnto God, seeing the godly, the mercifull man onely can performe acceptable seruice?
A13538or, if they should not haue beleeued and repented, had they beene condemned for not beleeuing a lye?
A13538or, seeing hee is neuer absent, how can hee bee found?
A13538or, what comfort can he haue in God, who is not in couenant with him?
A13538shall a man consider of his houses, rents, fields or garments?
A13538surely no, wee may not thinke so, and yet he said, My God, my God, why hast thou for saken me?
A13538that he should aske and not receiue, that asketh amisse?
A13538that he that turnes his eare from the Law, should haue Gods eare turned from him?
A13538that he, that is a prophane mocker of God, God should mocke him in his destruction?
A13538the true cause is, that the light thereof may not discouer their workes of darknesse: but what say they?
A13538their meat and drinke to riot and excesse, as though the Lord required no other returne, or would require no other reckoning?
A13538their wealth and calling to iniustice, coozenage, couetousnesse?
A13538they returne againe, because the guilt remaines: how should a man repent of that sinne, which hee will not see, lest he should sorrow?
A13538thou that preachest against couetousnesse, art thou a griper neuer satisfied?
A13538to make it a preseruatiue from many great sinnes, which the wicked daily commit, open and secret?
A13538to make it a sound stay and comfort, to support them in all their troubles; wherein else they must needs sinke?
A13538to make it vnto them a rule of faith, and a rule of life, able to make the man of God perfect to euery good worke?
A13538to put it into their handes as a sword to cut off Satans temptations?
A13538to what vse could the promises of the Gospell serue?
A13538was it once profitable 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; to improue?
A13538was not Dauid ouer head and eares in them?
A13538was not Noah and Lot drunke, and many good men besides?
A13538was not Noah neere them, and they neere him?
A13538was not the Sabboth made for man, and not man for the Sabboth?
A13538were dangers toward?
A13538what a staffe and strength cast they out of their hands, who heedlesly passe by Gods gracious dealing with them?
A13538what are they?
A13538what could the Lord doe more to make it easie and plaine, and fit for instruction, then he had done?
A13538what grim countenance and contempt shewed he by his silence, not vouchsafing to speak to her?
A13538what say you to Iob and his children?
A13538what strength were in the curses of the Law, that the soule that sinnes, shall die?
A13538what vse of the prayer of Christ for beleeuers, that his Father would keepe them in the truth?
A13538when is it?
A13538when wee doe not keepe Gods Commandements: but how shall we know that we keepe them?
A13538while I was yet an enemie and a sinner, God hath reconciled me by the death of his Sonne; how should hee now cast mee off being reconciled?
A13538who can remit a debt, but he to whom it is due?
A13538who is a God like thee, that passest by the iniquitie of thy people?
A13538why did he put such difference betweene men, that hee would not so much as pray for the World?
A13538will you bee so precise and foolish?
A13538will you in a kinde of singularitie lose both your pleasure and reputation?
A13538wilt thou auoide the sword of man by an euill conscience, which is a sharper sword within thy bowels, striking through, and pearsing thine owne soule?
A44697( else how by dwelling in love, do they dwell in God?)
A44697245 Considering, There is a taking delight in one thing more than another, and should be something that is a known good?
A44697A concealment and disguise of an heart inwardly bad and naught?
A44697A disjointing and unhinging of the best and noblest part of Gods Creation from its station and rest, its proper basis and center?
A44697A shattering and breaking asunder the bond between rational appetite and the First Good?
A44697A turning all upside down?
A44697Account he waits for your turning to him, as being inclin''d to friendship with you; Otherwise would vengeance have suffered you so long to live?
A44697Again, Would you not be justly taken to disaffect one whose temper is ungrateful, whose disposition and way is unpleasing to you?
A44697And a person of such worth and accomplishments as I, be thus brought down into the dust?
A44697And again, Can you be confident that so much as you suppose, was true?
A44697And bethink your selves, What would you then be esteemed?
A44697And can it be thought the love of the great and blessed God should signifie less?
A44697And can your ignorance of God be excusable or innocent?
A44697And consider, Is it not a grievous thing to you?
A44697And do we believe that when he hath won a person to place his delight and take pleasure in himself, He will requite him with a mischief?
A44697And do we need it to a Life of Delight?
A44697And do you not now see one to be delighted in?
A44697And dost thou not yet see the horrid vileness of thy own heart in all this?
A44697And doth it not then naturally aim at him and tend towards him?
A44697And doth not that make your matter much worse?
A44697And doth not your unaccustomedness to this blessed exercise resist the Tendency of that new nature?
A44697And doth this import no enmity?
A44697And have you not reason to be ashamed you have not known him better, and to better purpose?
A44697And how absurd and vain is it to have our hearts set upon that which is not?
A44697And how becoming is it of a man to have spent so much of his time in doing nothing?
A44697And how can the relishable sweetness of gracious principles and dispositions signifie Gods being to be enjoyed or delighted in?
A44697And how doth the temper of your heart and your practice, while you take not actual, ordinary delight in God, clash and jar with your profession?
A44697And how full of guilt is your not- delighting in God upon this account?
A44697And how highly doth this increase the offence?
A44697And how is he so, when you seldom have a delightful thought of him, or look to him with any pleasure?
A44697And how is that but by often thinking of him, as being a great part( and fundamental to all the rest) of what can be meant by this abode?
A44697And how long will it be ere[ they believe me], for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
A44697And if now he say to thee; After all this couldst thou take no pleasure in me?
A44697And if some greater breach hereupon ensue between God and you, what becomes of your delight in him?
A44697And if we should suppose the new creature alike maimed and defective, will there not be a proportionable diminution of its delight?
A44697And in which respect it may fitly be said to thee, Dost thou thus requite the Lord, O foolish Creature, and unwise?
A44697And is it not most vilely unnatural that thy spirit should be so sullenly averse to him, who is pleased to be stiled the Father of Spirits?
A44697And is not that delightsome to be increased daily with the increases of God?
A44697And is not that your case?
A44697And is there another way of having them composed, and of restoring delightful friendly converse, than by your seeking his Pardon, and his granting it?
A44697And is this a wise provision for Eternity?
A44697And is this your love to him, or delight in him?
A44697And it may be many such may take themselves for godly persons and lovers of God, and be mistaken as well as you; And what will that mend your cause?
A44697And labour in this way to have that delight increased to that degree, that it may cease to be a question or doubt with you, Do I delight in God or no?
A44697And now, Will we assume the confidence to tell God we think on him all that we can?
A44697And ought it not to fill your Souls with horror, when you consider, you take no delight in the best and sovereign Good?
A44697And ought you not to smite upon the thigh then, and say, What have I done?
A44697And rather chuse to suffer the pains of death than of labour, by which your Soul might yet live?
A44697And shall I not add[ The Love of God?]
A44697And shall this be called too delighting in God?
A44697And so that their pure Gospel, as they call it, is another Gospel, nay( because there can not be another) no Gospel?
A44697And the reason is plainly assigned in the foregoing words, Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
A44697And then how far are we from our mark?
A44697And were those only customary forms with you, and words of course?
A44697And what a bondage( as well as incongruity) were that relation without delight?
A44697And what cause canst thou pretend of disaffection towards him?
A44697And what do you mean by it, or seem to expect?
A44697And what durst thou who knowest God, or rather art known of him, neglect so great and substantial a Duty?
A44697And what else have you to delight in?
A44697And what else is it, but somewhat communicated and imparted immediately from God to such?
A44697And what is it better to pretend to it to no purpose?
A44697And what is it?
A44697And what is loving God with all our mind, so expresly mentioned in that great summary of our duty towards him?
A44697And what is that an absurdity that under the name of Delighting in God, the several acts and exercises of Religion besides should be comprehended?
A44697And what is that?
A44697And what is the course they take hereupon?
A44697And what is the reason of this so great difference?
A44697And what need is there of apprehending its method to be quite another in its comforting- work?
A44697And what need of that, while yet there is one way to avoid it?
A44697And what now is to be done in this case?
A44697And what proposition is there which a regenerate person can assent to, but one who is not regenerate may assent to it also?
A44697And what shall your Religion serve for, that will not answer these purposes?
A44697And what state and temper of spirit would be sutable to that supposition?
A44697And what then?
A44697And what though you think not of many to whom you bear no ill will, nor have any converse with many such; Is it enough to bear no ill will to God?
A44697And what was that?
A44697And what will you say to the great obligations which the love and kindness of God have laid upon you?
A44697And what, Did they therefore dejectedly languish and despond, and give themselves up to sorrow and despair?
A44697And what, do you find this?
A44697And what, will you take up with that delusive unconversible shadow, or be content to embrace the stiff and breathless carcase that remains?
A44697And what, wilt thou delight in a God that is not thine?
A44697And where is that blessedness of which ye spake?
A44697And whither tends it?
A44697And why should this temper of spirit in the clearer light of the Gospel be look''t upon as an unattainable thing?
A44697And why should you not be resolved in this point?
A44697And why towards me?
A44697And will you dream and slumber all your days?
A44697And yet how few are there whose spirits are formed hereby to any seriousness agreeable to that perswasion?
A44697Are not some things grateful and agreeable to you, in which you can and do take complacency?
A44697Are these all that thou designest, or will mind to do for thy Soul?
A44697Are these like well to supply the place of living Religion?
A44697Are we to suspend the exercise of this duty till we have gotten the difficult case resolved?
A44697Are you altered?
A44697Are you no more concerned to mind God and converse with him, than with the man you never knew, or had to do with?
A44697Are you under so much obligation to any?
A44697Are you wo nt to displease your selves to please him, or cross your own will to do his?
A44697Are you yet to learn, that a reasonable Soul needs the fulness of God to make it happy, and that there is no other God but one?
A44697Art thou yet an harmless innocent creature, an honest well- meaning man for all this?
A44697As if he had too little kindness for such as you would have him favour, and too much for others; Judging his love and hatred by false measures?
A44697As if the enquiry were, What it is that I desire really to enjoy when I desire to enjoy a friend?
A44697Being upon both those accounts( as well as that it resembles him, and is his living Image) called a participation of the Divine Nature?
A44697Bethink your selves, is not the temper of your spirits just such Godward as it was always wo nt to be, without any remarkable turn or alteration?
A44697But are not all these truly Delectable?
A44697But because this brings us but where we were; Let it be further enquired, what then is your business with God, or what would you have of him?
A44697But do you think so to shift and wave the obligation of an universal Law upon mankind, and all reasonable nature?
A44697But for what purpose are we to have that apprehension?
A44697But how can this delighting in God( communicating himself) be our duty?
A44697But how little, and in how low a capacity, didst thou contribute to his being in comparison of what the great God did to thine?
A44697But how shall we go about it?
A44697But if you do not, What do you think alienation from the life of God will come to at last?
A44697But if you think that horrid, and resolve to own something or other of Religion; Will you here use your understanding, and consider?
A44697But is he out of the sight of your minds?
A44697But is it fit it should be always thus?
A44697But is this honest dealing?
A44697But now before that new birth take place in the spirit of man, it wants but knows not what; craves indeterminately( who will shew us any good?)
A44697But so we shall bring our whole Religion within the compass of this one thing?
A44697But to this I say, Was this all that your Profession was in it self apt, and by you designed to signifie?
A44697But what are your hearts most apt to delight in?
A44697But what did he lastly aim at in this?
A44697But what pretence can there be for such dealing with the God of Truth?
A44697But when he represents his Love himself( as who but God can represent the Love of God?
A44697But where is this temper of spirit to be found?
A44697But will God indeed dwell on the earth?
A44697But you should bethink your self, What a wretch am I, that am so ill- inclin''d?
A44697Can he be a God to you that is not acknowledg''d by you as your very best, the universal, and absolutely all- comprehending good?
A44697Can there be any dispute or doubt in the case, when there is but one thing to be done, besides yeilding ones self to be miserable for ever?
A44697Can this stand with delight in him?
A44697Can you allow your selves so to interpret his Covenant, and give this as the summary account of the tenor of it?
A44697Can you approve your own way?
A44697Can you delight in an enemy?
A44697Can you find nothing wherein vainly to trifle, but the sacred things of the Great God of Heaven, and the eternal concernments of your own Soul?
A44697Can you forbear with gratitude and joy to acknowledg and own it to him, that it is of his own hand that you do this?
A44697Can you say, Lord, for thy sake I refrain the things to which my heart inclines?
A44697Canst thou be content to look wistly on him, as one unrelated and a stranger?
A44697Carries it not in it most horrid contumely and indignity to the most high God?
A44697Consider, Is this still your case?
A44697Consider, What doth your trust in God signifie, more than the sound of the Name?
A44697Could He delight in such as you, and can not you in him?
A44697Could you decline doing so without putting a slight upon his love, who is infinite in what he is, and who is love?
A44697Could you have the confidence to put your self upon conversing with him as at former times, without such a preface?
A44697Dare you think of throwing off his yoke?
A44697Did you never find it good for you, in this way, to draw nigh to God?
A44697Did you never try experiments for your pleasure?
A44697Do we as we longer live by him ow him less?
A44697Do we need further to be invited to a Life of delight?
A44697Do we need to be prest with arguments to chuse delightful and wholesom food, rather than gall and wormwood, or even very poyson?
A44697Do you aim at obeying him in these things?
A44697Do you bear goodwill to him whose reproach and dishonour you are not concern''d for, yea, whom you stick not to dishonour and reproach?
A44697Do you dislike thoughts of God?
A44697Do you find your heart sluggish and indispos''d to any such transaction with God and Christ?
A44697Do you love him whom upon all occasions you most causlesly displease; whose offence you reckon nothing of?
A44697Do you not aim at a life of eternal delights with God?
A44697Do you not allow your self to be licentious, earthly, vain, proud, wrathful, revengeful, though you know it will offend him?
A44697Do you not desire to be better thought of?
A44697Do you not disobey the known will of God in your ordinary practice without regret?
A44697Do you not find your selves herein to have offended against that?
A44697Do you not find, that so a wicked man( his enemy) is branded and distinguisht, God is not in all his thoughts?
A44697Do you pretend to him, and know him not?
A44697Do you suppose it possible, to delight in God and not think of him?
A44697Does it not tend to an unlawful gratifying of the flesh, and fulfilling some lusts thereof?
A44697Dost thou not see then how thou cancellest and nullifiest the obligation of all Laws, while thou hast no delight in God?
A44697Dost thou think this will pass for a little offence in the solemn judgment of the great day that is drawing on?
A44697Doth it decline and draw back?
A44697Doth it purifie it, and check your ill inclinations, in any thing wherein they should be countermanded upon the credit of his Word?
A44697Doth it quiet your heart, in reference to any affairs you pretend to commit to him?
A44697Doth not He know the method and way wherein they are to be conveyed?
A44697Doth not that imply that it was with the Psalmist a designed thing to meditate on God?
A44697Doth not this bring us to delight in our selves?
A44697Doth the Holy Ghost himself prescribe to us impertinently, in order to our obtaining of his own imparted influences?
A44697For by what worse name can we call any thing than enmity to God?
A44697For can men be happy in him in whom they take no delight?
A44697For how can I rejoice in that whereof I have yet a doubt, whether it be what it seems or no?
A44697For how just is it, to impute to it what it naturally causes, and lay its own impure and viperous births at its own door?
A44697For is it our duty that he communicate himself in this way to us?
A44697For is not any one more wicked according as he is more strongly inclin''d to wickedness and averse to what is good?
A44697For it is an appeal to common reason in the case; as if it had been said, Can any man think that such a ones Religion will be lasting?
A44697For let the question be put to such a person, Do you desire such a thing though God judg it will be hurtful to you or unfit for you?
A44697For what Scripture saith so?
A44697For what, are these things God?
A44697For wherein is it less?
A44697Further, Do you not acknowledg the blessed God to be the best and most excellent Good?
A44697Gods Essence?
A44697Great blindness and ignorance of God; For is it possible any should have known and not have loved him?
A44697Had such opportunity of knowing him, and yet be ignorant?
A44697Hast thou no need of quickening influence from God?
A44697Hath he not spared you, when it was in his power to crush you at pleasure?
A44697Hath his prohibition any restraining force upon your hearts?
A44697Have I any cause to quarrel at this?
A44697Have not those been your best hours, wherein you could freely solace your selves in him?
A44697Have not your thoughts of God been few?
A44697Have not your thoughts of Him been low and mean, such as have imported light esteem?
A44697Have not your thoughts of him been slight and transient?
A44697Have there not been perverse reasonings, with dislike of his Methods of Government over men in this present state?
A44697Have they not been hard thoughts; full of censure, and misjudging of his Nature, Counsels, Ways and Works?
A44697Have they not been overly superficial thoughts?
A44697Have ye forgotten, that ye ever thus tasted how gracious the Lord was?
A44697Have you Faith in God?
A44697Have you any hope God will deal in a peculiar way with you from all men, and make the other world the place of your first heart- change?
A44697Have you not been long at his mercy?
A44697Have you not disbelieved the revelation he hath given of his Nature, and express declarations of his mind and purpose touching these matters?
A44697Have you not in this neglect run counter to such instruction?
A44697Have you not much the more to answer for upon this account?
A44697Have you not( against his plain word) thought him irreconcilable, and averse to the accepting of any atonement for you?
A44697Have you repented your Choice?
A44697Have you that dependence on any Friend?
A44697How cheap is the expence of a thought?
A44697How contrary is this omission to what by solemn vow and astipulation you have bound your selves to?
A44697How directly opposite is it to the Law of God?
A44697How do things stand between him and you?
A44697How do you, in this, carry towards the blessed God?
A44697How far are you from that temper, Whom have I in heaven but thee, and whom do I desire on earth besides thee?
A44697How grateful is the relish of this apprehension, both in respect of what it, in it self, imports, and what it is the root and cause of?
A44697How long will this people provoke me?
A44697How manifestly impossible is it, if there were not such a Good, that otherwise any thing else should ever have been good, or been at all?
A44697How perverse a delight is that?
A44697How plain and certain is this?
A44697How strangely uncouth is it?
A44697How tumultuous and disorderly a thing this your disaffection is?
A44697How tumultuous and disorderly a thing this your disaffection to God is?
A44697How unlike have yours been to such thoughts?
A44697How vain then is that Religion by which we can neither please God nor profit our selves?
A44697How variously and with how mighty demonstration hath that love exprest and evidence''t it self?
A44697However, comparing what you sometime were with what you are, what difference do you observe?
A44697I shall thus make nothing of my self: And what must all my natural or acquired excellencies go just for nothing?
A44697If he should repent, In what case were you?
A44697If not, Why take you not pleasure?
A44697If not, we have no enjoyment; If any thing be, what is it?
A44697If that be once understood, Hath it not in it self invitation enough?
A44697If therefore it be inquired, Wherein the delight of this more imperfect sort doth consist?
A44697If thou hast been always kind and indulgent, full of paternal affection towards him, Wouldst thou not think him a vile miscreant?
A44697If you now begin not to live to God, when will you?
A44697In what posture then are your affairs towards him?
A44697Is he far from any one of us?
A44697Is he not as much our Maker as he was theirs?
A44697Is it a likely means of refining and bettering our spirits?
A44697Is it fit to receive so much kindness with neglect?
A44697Is it indeed so horrid a thing to disavow all Religion?
A44697Is it less evident?
A44697Is it not a greater thing that he is God, than that he is yours?
A44697Is it not a merciful vouchsafement that the holy God allows you to place your delight on him, and invites you to it?
A44697Is it not from God?
A44697Is it not now as true, that the Lord reigneth, and is high above all the earth, and exalted far above all gods?
A44697Is it not thus with you Godward?
A44697Is it reasonable that he who is our Life, and our All, should never be thought on, but now and then, as it were by chance, and on the by?
A44697Is it that reasoning is more liable to error and mistake?
A44697Is not he thy Father —?
A44697Is not the blessed God acknowledged to be the best good?
A44697Is not the meditation of him with you an unwonted thing?
A44697Is not this as sure and evident as any thing your senses could inform you of?
A44697Is not your very profession then meer dissimulation and a lie?
A44697Is that become no Duty which is the very sum and comprehension of all duties?
A44697Is that ingenuous towards a Friend, or dutiful towards a Father or a Lord?
A44697Is the matter less important?
A44697Is there indeed such a Principle in you?
A44697Is there not a real Delight to be had in them?
A44697Is this a matter always to be waved?
A44697Is this a small thing with you?
A44697Is this a time to roll your self upon your slothful bed, and say, Soul, take thine ease, even upon the pits brink?
A44697Is this the worse or the better?
A44697It is a conviction against you, that you are of humane race, till it can be evidenc''t you are born from above, and are become new creatures?
A44697It is the sense of holy Souls, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A44697It may be again said; But if God be thus to be delighted in, how can delighting in him be upon such terms our duty?
A44697It may be said, Doth not all this tend to bring us, instead of delighting in God, to delight in our selves?
A44697It may be your sleeping Conscience did not find your self to offend: But do you not find your self to have offended it, now beginning to awake?
A44697It''s answered, But you disrelish not the remembrance of a Friend; Do you not the thoughts of God?
A44697Know you another way to be happy?
A44697Let men value thee for these, to whom thereby thou shewest some respect; But shall he, who in the mean time knows thou bearest none to him?
A44697Make a stand, and bethink your selves; Can you justifie your carriage towards him whom you have taken to be your God?
A44697Many good works hath he done for thee; For which of these dost thou hate him?
A44697May we do what we will with our thoughts?
A44697Moreover, Who should delight in him but you?
A44697Must you, do you see you must come to this point, of having your delight in God?
A44697Nay, may''st thou not moreover truly say, that thou lovest this base impure earth more than God?
A44697Not to delight in God therefore, What can it be but the very top of Rebellion?
A44697Now hath not that Soul a spring of pleasure within it self, that is in these respects as God would have it be?
A44697Now therefore if you did delight much in God, would you not be pressing hard after him?
A44697O my people, What have I done unto thee?
A44697Only it is to be considered, Do you intend to proceed in any course of Religion, or no?
A44697Or can this deportment agree with habitual and the frequent actual delight in God which is requir''d?
A44697Or can you think it was his meaning, and that he would expect no more from you?
A44697Or didst thou do thy duty herein, by being only inclin''d to do it?
A44697Or have you not been more peccant in your apprehensions of his rules and resolutions for the disposing of men as to their eternal states?
A44697Or if he should be deprived of some of his senses, or natural faculties, so as to be uncapable of some of the more principal functions of life?
A44697Or if it was, did you deal sincerely in that Treaty?
A44697Or must it be done, and never be attempted?
A44697Or that when all by nature are children of wrath, any are by nature lovers of him, so as to love him and be under his wrath both at once?
A44697Or was it fit it should ly dead and bound up in the habitual principle, and not go forth( or very rarely) into act and exercise?
A44697Or were it not great immodesty and impudence to offer at it?
A44697Or would he deceive us by misrepresenting it?
A44697Or would not the inclination, if it were right, infer( or otherwise is it like to last long without) sutable exercise?
A44697Or, is it less consolatory?
A44697Ought it not to cut your heart to find your self convicted herein of a disobedient omission?
A44697Ought not your Experience to have been instructive to you; as it commonly is to men in other matters?
A44697Should not the thoughts of him be pleasant to you from whom you are expecting so great things?
A44697Should not this have obtain''d in thy practice, that ought to run through and animate all the rest?
A44697Surely such conceptions are not impossible to you?
A44697Than which what can be said or supposed more absurd?
A44697That it doth herein no small thing; for is it a small thing to be ascertain''d of Gods fatherly love to us as his own children?
A44697That it is a differencing character of his own people, That they thought on his Name?
A44697That the saying of Esaias the Prophet might be fulfilled which he spake, Lord who hath believed our report?
A44697That thou disaffectest him in whom thou knowest thou shouldst delight?
A44697The knowledg of God, calling upon God, The fear of God,& c. How commonly are these acknowledged to be Paraphrases of Religion?
A44697There is somewhat in you that would work towards God, and you suffer it not; And is that well?
A44697Therefore seriously bethink your selves, Do you delight in God or no?
A44697They are called the Spirit; for when we are caution''d not to quench the Spirit, how can that be understood of the eternal uncreated Spirit himself?
A44697Think whither am I going?
A44697This banishes delight, and drives it far away from them?
A44697This yet more fully answers the enquiry when a person is said to enjoy God; what doth he immediately enjoy?
A44697To be off and on, to say and unsay, that he shall be your God, and that he shall not,( for how is he your God if you delight not in him?)
A44697To love him who had loved you first?
A44697To make us become our own center and rest?
A44697To talk of any difficulty in the matter, is a strange impertinency; for who would oppose difficulty to necessity?
A44697Was not this the case?
A44697Was this indeed your meaning?
A44697We find it natural and pleasant to carry about with us our own living body; but who would endure( how wearisom and loathsom a task were it?)
A44697Well then, is the case altered with you?
A44697Were you not oblig''d to love him back again, who was so much before- hand with you in the matter of love?
A44697What a Soul hast thou that can live upon chaff and air, and be sustained by the wind?
A44697What absurdity the several acts of Religion should be comprehended under Delight in God?
A44697What can any man have greater certainty of, in a meer human way, than all men have that they must dye?
A44697What could hinder you to remember him, if you were so disposed?
A44697What could hinder you, if your heart were inclin''d?
A44697What difference do you observe?
A44697What doth it mean that our Youth is challenged to the remembrance of him?
A44697What fault, that delight runs through Religion?
A44697What good Principle can you have in you God ward if you have not Love to him?
A44697What hath thus carnalized your minds, that you favour only the things of the flesh, and Divine things are tasteless and without relish?
A44697What have I to do any more with the Idols wherewith I was wo nt to provoke thee to jealousie?
A44697What have you made God an unnecessary thing to you, while the Creature, your very Idols, lying vanities, were thought necessary?
A44697What is it then that hath thy delight and love?
A44697What is the difference between loving God, and delighting in him?
A44697What is there then at the bottom, and under the covert of your yet continued profession at such times, but falsehood?
A44697What is your present temper, in it self considered?
A44697What is your present temper?
A44697What should hinder?
A44697What was there in it not delectable?
A44697What wastes and desolations do they commit and make in their own Souls, by breaking the order God and Nature did at first set and establish there?
A44697What were you, sometimes haters of God, and are you now come to love and delight in him, without perceiving in your selves any difference?
A44697What will thy sobriety, thy justice, thy charity signifie, if thou hadst these to glory in, while thou art habitually disaffected to thy God?
A44697What wouldst thou say to it if thy own Son did hate the very sight of thee, and abhor thy presence and converse?
A44697What, ever learning and never arrive to this knowledg?
A44697What, is our riper Age more exempt?
A44697What, love him with all your soul in whom you can rarely find your selves to take any pleasure?
A44697What, man?
A44697What?
A44697When Heaven in respect of the pure holiness, the calm serenity, the rest and blessedness of it, is now grown familiar to him, and his very element?
A44697When did you check and contend with your own hearts upon these accounts, as they are wo nt to do?
A44697When others say, Who will shew us any Good?
A44697When they care not at what expence they make provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof?
A44697When we are said to enjoy God, I inquire, Is any thing communicated to us, or no?
A44697Whence can your not- delighting in him proceed, but from this, as its most immediate cause?
A44697Whence is the glorious excellency of this great Creation, the beauty, loveliness, pleasantness of any Creature?
A44697Whereby are Habits to be known but by the frequency of their acts?
A44697Whereby hath he ever disoblig''d thee?
A44697Whereby would you discern your hatred towards one you did most flatly and peremptorily disaffect?
A44697Whereon is thy heart set?
A44697Whether you should chuse him for your portion, seek rest in him, and place upon him your delight and love?
A44697While you can take no pleasure( or do take so little) in God, is there nothing else wherein you take pleasure?
A44697Whither are you sunk?
A44697Who amongst all the people of the Jews at Mount Horeb, could have any doubt, but the Authority that avouched the Law there given them was Divine?
A44697Who gave us our Idaea of that ever blessed Being?
A44697Who gave us our thinking power, or made us capable of forming a thought?
A44697Who is God save the Lord, and who is a Rock save our God?
A44697Who restrains or forbids me?
A44697Who would not recount with delight the unexpressible felicity of living under the governing power of such a one?
A44697Why do we suppose our thoughts exempt from his Government, or the obligation of his Laws?
A44697Why do you not rejoice and glory in it, even as he professes to do over you?
A44697Why should it be reckoned less insolent to say our thoughts, than our tongues are our own, who is Lord over as?
A44697Why towards me rather than others, not naturally more vile than I?
A44697Why will you distinguish your selves by so debasing a character?
A44697Will it be a grateful remembrance to thee that thou wast so long hovering about the borders of Religion?
A44697Will not that confound and shame thee?
A44697Will that suffice you to delighting in him?
A44697Will you defer till you dye your beginning to live?
A44697Will you not esteem your selves to have been thereby bound to place your love and delight on him?
A44697Will you pause a while and deliberate upon it?
A44697With how sweet and gentle allurements hath he sought to win thy heart?
A44697Worship him so oft, and worship you know not what?
A44697Would it not detract much from the natural pleasure of a mans life, if he should lose an arm or a leg?
A44697Would not his thoughts( once become precious to you) be also numerous, or innumerable rather, as the sands of the Sea- shore?
A44697Would not the word of an ordinary man, premonishing you of any advantage or danger which you have no other knowledg of, be of more value with you?
A44697Would you not be ashamed the disposition of your heart towards him at such times should be known?
A44697Would you not be very unapt to take up injurious hard thoughts of him?
A44697Would you willingly be taken for such in all those long intervals wherein your actual delight in him is wholly discontinued?
A44697Yea, doth it not tend to delight in him?
A44697Yea, wil''t thou not see, that thine heart goes against thy Conscience all this while?
A44697Yet how few( though we must suppose many convinc''t) did heartily believe in him?
A44697You bend your minds and hearts another way; What are you doing then?
A44697You do love God and delight in him, How do you make it appear?
A44697You do not think on your absent Friends while no present occasion occurs, to bring them to your remembrance: But is God absent?
A44697You have vow''d to him, What think you of this drawing back?
A44697You may further say, God is out of your sight, and therefore how can it be expected you should find a sensible delight in him?
A44697You often do not think on Friends with whom you have no opportunity to converse; Have you no opportunity to converse with Him?
A44697You would dislike the thoughts of him, hate his memory, cast him out of your thoughts: Do you not the same way shew your disaffection to God?
A44697Your lesser desires will be swallowed up in greater, and all in the Divine fulness; So that you will now say, Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A44697[ Is there a real thorough work of God upon my Soul or no?]
A44697a course of regular walking in through subjection to his Laws and Government?
A44697and a life of pure devotedness to him?
A44697and hereupon pronounce them blessed whom he did chuse, and cause to approach unto him?
A44697and reckon the Earth too good to bear him?
A44697and so much the worse and more vicious by how much it is more hardly overcome?
A44697and that the course of my actions be as a continual sacrificing; doing all to him and for him?
A44697and the fruits of the Tree of Life?
A44697and the temper of your Spirit towards him is usually strange and shie?
A44697and wast at the very door and wouldst not enter in?
A44697and wherein have I wearied thee?
A44697and whom can I desire on earth besides thee?
A44697as being the first and fountain- Good, the fullest and most comprehensive, the purest and altogether unmixed, the most immutable and permanent Good?
A44697as it were composed of delights?
A44697casual only, and such as have dropt into your minds as it were by chance, fluid and roving, fixed neither upon him nor into your hearts?
A44697especially if thou never gave him the least cause?
A44697especially, if you have, or apprehend you may have nearest interest in such a creature?
A44697from a good Principle or a bad?
A44697his friends?
A44697his sons?
A44697is it indeed no duty to Love God?
A44697no hunger after the heavenly hidden Manna?
A44697of being really and habitually good and holy?
A44697of doing good and walking in the path of life?
A44697offerest violence to the very knot and juncture, wherein they all meet and are infolded together?
A44697or alledg, the thing is hard which must be done?
A44697or attempted, and not be resolved upon?
A44697or delight in him to whom the very temper of their spirits is habitually unsutable and repugnant?
A44697or have beheld his glory and not have been delighted therewith?
A44697or have them useless and unserviceable?
A44697or how can I delight in that I question whether I have or no?
A44697or in respect whereof he hath not appeared altogether lovely?
A44697or shall I not?
A44697or was this indeed all that was this while to be got of God, the credit of being thought his?
A44697or whereby is he said to enjoy God?
A44697or will he be constantly religious?
A44697or, what is most agreeable to your temper?
A44697prescribed and set bounds to him, and thought your sin greater than could be forgiven?
A44697such as care not for him, as value him not?
A44697that it was a stated course?
A44697those of his own house?
A44697to dally with him as you would with an uncertain whiffling man?
A44697to good or hurt?
A44697to lug to and fro a dead carcase?
A44697to serve thee instead of inward acquaintance with God?
A44697was not his love enough to deserve yours?
A44697what definition, so truly expressive of the natures of these things, can be thought, of unto which a carnal mind may not give its approbation?
A44697what do we make of the God we serve?
A44697what do you not now rejoice that you find your selves to offer willingly?
A44697what doth God communicate or transmit, by which he may be said to be enjoyed?
A44697what must we understand it to say or signifie to us?
A44697what thing will you name, that shall supply the place of[ GOD] or be to you in the stead of him?
A44697wherein doth that friendly and dutiful affection towards him evidence it self?
A44697whither tends it?
A44697whom we are bound to fear, and love, to trust and obey above all things, of him are we not bound so much as to think?
A44697will not these be wounding thoughts?
A44697will not this design, if prosecuted, prove an unjustifiable self- indulgence?
A44697would you not be following on to know him?
A44697— Why could not we cast him out?
A62085& c. What has he got, in the room of all the lost life, wisdom and riches of his own Nature?
A62085''T is deceitful above all things, and desperatly wicked, who can know( or discover) it?
A620851) So the Septuagint render it; neither say before God, it was an errour; and therefore, why should he be angry& c.?
A620851. why?
A6208510. Who were these that Watch''d for the haltings; and lay at catch, for advantages, against true Prophets, Christ himself, and Apostles, all along?
A6208520. what plainer, or more suited to convince?
A6208520. whv hast thou set me up in a life, I may not keep, as my 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 thee, and concern to my self?
A6208529. Who but Professours, in Holy Flesh, urg''d Christ''s Crucifixion, when Pilate and his Heathen Party would have freed him?
A620857, 8. Who hinder''d you, or, did drive you back, that ye should not obey Christ''s Gospel- Spirit of Truth?
A620858. Who can help them?
A620859. and v. 27, 28. who''l be Judg, at last?
A62085A Fool also is full of words; a Man can not tell what shall be: and, what shall be after him, who can tell him?
A62085A hard saying, who can hear( or understand) it?
A62085Adam, in the unstain''d purity of all natural perfections and excellencies of humane nature?
A62085Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but, how can one be warm alone?
A62085All amounts but to an encrease of vanity, in desires and desirables; and what''s man the better?
A62085All your rhetorical flashes of wit and eloquence, histories, and similitudes,& c, What signifie such embellishments of Art, in the case?
A62085Am I become your Enemy, say''s Paul, on this very single account, because I tell you the truth?
A62085And I turned my self to behold wisdom, and madness and folly: for, what can the man do, that cometh after the King?
A62085And how then shall he know, what Misery shall, at last, befal him; or when, how, and by what Hand it shall be brought upon him?
A62085And if the Trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the Battel?
A62085And is not your accursed other Gospel, one and the same thing, at bottom?
A62085And so, think to prevail with this Angel, to plead for their Pardon?
A62085And then, do those, guilty of such errours, think to get any thing, by 〈 ◊ 〉, why should God be angry and destroy our works?
A62085And this, when so many crafty Gamesters, Devils, and Men, fill the world with Words and Books, to deceive?
A62085And was he not as fiercely persecuted by such, as soon as he became a Gospel- Saint?
A62085And what are these, both king and subjects?
A62085And what do all such gingling words, such tinkling Cymbals amount unto?
A62085And what succeeds?
A62085And what then?
A62085And what think you, then?
A62085And where are they both, then?
A62085And where then must he be?
A62085And will they say, it was an errour?
A62085And will ye allow God''s one- thing, and Christ''s Gospel, but one word?
A62085And, as for the Cross, so they are for( and they Preach) Regeneration, new Birth, new Creature, Grace,& c. Who but they?
A62085And, have they an arm, like God?
A62085And, if the foundations of all, the true Saint is, has, or has to say, be destroyd or denied, what''s to be done?
A62085And, must Christs gospel be crowded into such a strait place, such a little narrow corner, as to have but one word, for it?
A62085And, must they not suffer for all?
A62085And, of Christ himself, they said, he hath a Devil, and is mad, why hear ye him?
A62085And, say''s God to the Jews, when ye come to appear before me, who hath requir''d this at your hands, to tread my Courts?
A62085And, so is it now; as much, shall I say, or more then ever?
A62085And, thirdly, how, and in what sense, is what he so heaps up, given to him that is good before God?
A62085And, this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the Wind?
A62085And, what became of Jeroboam, for his Calf- worship, erected on a self Interested Reason of State?
A62085And, what can all the visible and invisible Powers of this World, with all their Strength, Devices and Bulwarks, be, before him?
A62085And, what can he do, that comes after the King?
A62085And, what get they in their own way, amongst a heap of delusive vanities?
A62085And, what got Israel by refusing the King Jesus, or Government of God, in the said Spirit of true Prophecy?
A62085And, what is he the better?
A62085And, what or who else, in a manner, at this day, can we find, but such anti- Gospel- Gospellers, in all variety of opinion, form, and way?
A62085And, what profit then will they find of all their Labours, in a Law- Spirit of Bondage, Death, and Enmity to the Gospel?
A62085And, what then, to the infinite divine Wisdom and things of God?
A62085And, what''s meant by their Works being in the hand of God?
A62085And, where''s man, then?
A62085And, who but they?
A62085And, who knoweth whether he shall be a wise Man, or a fool?
A62085Annihilation?
A62085Are not here amazing Prodigies, uninterpretable Riddles, to man''s day, or judgment?
A62085Are we at a loss, for an instance?
A62085Are we blind also?
A62085Are ye also deceiv''d?
A62085Are ye willing to part with all this, in case ye had it to part with?
A62085As the fool: the righteous?
A62085As to a soothing Men up into a considence in Man''s and Satan''s Law- Gospel, he say''s, do I seek to please Men?
A62085Be not over- much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldst thou die before thy time?
A62085Be not righteous over- much, neither make thy- self over- wise: why shouldst thou destroy thy felf?
A62085But how, or which way must or can man come by these spiritual senses, eye, ear, palate and understanding?
A62085But indeed, Satan would have it have never a word, would you, so, too?
A62085But, How readest, or understandest thou this Law?
A62085But, Who are the Oppressours, here?
A62085But, can right Gospel- works, which God work''s in Men, be called their own works?
A62085But, does the wise, first- Covenant Holy Man, receive nothing of a Gospel- Testimony?
A62085But, he will say, what''s your Chaff to my Wheat?
A62085But, how does one event happen to them all, Wise and Fools?
A62085But, if it be all, in millions of words, but one and the same thing, why may not one word be enough, to declare it?
A62085But, in what Spirit?
A62085But, leaving both their cases; what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
A62085But, think ye this will alwayes be so?
A62085But, what call they so?
A62085But, what care they, so they''r rid of such Tormentors, at present?
A62085But, what come they to?
A62085But, what mean''s Solomon, in saying, that all his wise labours, in his own restored nature, must be left to a man that has not laboured therein?
A62085But, what then hath the wise Man, or first- Covenant holy Man, more than the fool, in corrupt Nature?
A62085But, what''s the Commandment, carries so great advantage with it, to the Observers thereof?
A62085But, what?
A62085But, who are the Wise and Righteous, here?
A62085But, why should he be thus charitable and obedient to Christ?
A62085But, why should the Servant look to fare better then his Lord, amongst them?
A62085By such, did the Prince of darkness and death carry on his murdering work on the Prince of Life,?
A62085Ca n''t ye say, in a word, what you would have, that we may be presently rid of any farther trouble with you?
A62085Can any Man hope to prosper, in such contest and dispute with his Maker?
A62085Can any believe this?
A62085Can any deny this?
A62085Can he ever be blessed in his deeds of the Law, that does all in a spirit of enmity to God and his Gospel- Life?
A62085Can such Mystical evil Trees bring forth any good Fruit, to God?
A62085Can the Rulers of this World, visible or invisible, bear such Doctrine, concerning that State, they set up in, for Salvation?
A62085Can they miss of what they love, and have chosen?
A62085Can they thunder with a Voice, like him?
A62085Can they thunder with a voice like him?
A62085Can this be lesse then the sin unto death, eternal death?
A62085Can we love him, with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, in a spirit of direct enmity to him?
A62085Christ ask''d the Lawyer, enquiring after Eternal Life; What''s written in the Law?
A62085Christ''s?
A62085Christ, or the Devil; the Angel or Messenger of Gods everlasting Covenant, or the Angel of the Bottomless Pit?
A62085Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
A62085Dare they speak the words of that Spirit?
A62085Despised and Rejected of Men, even his own People in the first- Covenant, for Witnessing and Practicing the Doctrin of the second?
A62085Did I fear a great multitude?
A62085Did not Paul, when all this, most fiercely persecute Christ, and all his Gospel- Saints and Truths?
A62085Do any of the Scribes or Pharisees believe him?
A62085Do any such, dare to own themselvs Sons or Children of God, in his new and everlasting Covenant- Principle, his Gospel- spirit of Grace and Truth?
A62085Do any wise, knowing, righteous Men believe on him?
A62085Do either or any of them, know what they do?
A62085Do not all go to one place?
A62085Do we stand trifling, and lie at catch, with the Pharisees, to see what Gospel- doctrine will be at?
A62085Envying, strife, confusion, tumult or unquietness, and every mischievous evil thing or work; what else can come on''t?
A62085First then, negatively, where is true Wisdom not to be found?
A62085First, What''s meant by the unprofitable Labourer and Labour, reproved here?
A62085First, what is it, this sinner gathers and heaps up?
A62085Fishermen and Women( under the teaching- Influence of Christ, by which, a spiritual Understanding was waken''d and set up in them) cleerly understood?
A62085For What?
A62085For this, the High- Priest ask''s him; Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
A62085For which of my good works do ye stone me?
A62085For, Hast thou an arm like God?
A62085For, Who can bring us down, from our high and strong place?
A62085For, has he an Arm like God?
A62085For, he knoweth not that which shall be: for, who can tell him, when( or how) it shall be?
A62085For, says he, had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: But if ye believe not his Writings, how shall ye believe my Words?
A62085For, what can he do that comes after the King?
A62085For, what hath a Man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the Sun?
A62085For, what hath the Wise more than the Fool?
A62085For, who believ''s the report?
A62085For, who can eat?
A62085For, who can tell a Man, what shall be after him, under the Sun?
A62085For, who hath directed his spirit?
A62085For, who knoweth what is good for Man, in this life, all the days of his vain life, which he spendeth as a shadow?
A62085For, who may say to him, what dost thou?
A62085Friend, will the King Jesus say, how cam''st thou in hither, not having a Wedding Garment?
A62085God is for them, who can be against them?
A62085Hardly guess we aright, at things on Earth, that are before us: but, things in Heaven, who hath searched out?
A62085Has not the true Christ and his great Apostle foretold all this?
A62085Have Gospel- Saints all truth, and First- Covenant Saints, none?
A62085Have any of the Rulers or Pharisees 〈 ◊ 〉 on him?
A62085Have they an arm like God?
A62085Have they an arm, like God?
A62085He does not so much as say in his Heart; for whom do I Labour, and to what end do I bereave my Soul of good?
A62085He has said enough, at the Bar, to take away his life, though we had nothing else against him, before: What think ye?
A62085He say''s in his Heart, Who shall bring me down to the Ground?
A62085Hence, Solomon says, how dies the wise Man?
A62085Here''s the universal clash and contrariety of Satans lying, and Christs true Gospel; which will ye choose, O simple ones?
A62085His or theirs?
A62085Holy Men, a first- Covenant People of God, blasphem''d, said of Christ, he had a Devil, and was mad; why hear ye him?
A62085How So?
A62085How can Man please him, in duties of Worship, or any other Performances towards him or Man, in his own Spirit of Enmity?
A62085How can they be less then more then Conquerors?
A62085How can this be?
A62085How can two Men, walk together,( and how much less, God and man) except they be agreed?
A62085How can ye believe( says Christ to the professing Jews) who receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God, only?
A62085How currant does renewed old first- creation life, pass, at this day, for new?
A62085How dies the Wise man?
A62085How else should men, out of polluted Nature, come to be spotless before the Throne of God, and chast Virgins to Christ?
A62085How long re simple ones, will ye love simplicity, delight in scorning my counsel, and hate true knowledge?
A62085How long wilt thou sleep, O Sluggard?
A62085How oft would I have gather''d you together, unto me, under my divine and Creature- wings, in this Life, and ye would not?
A62085How powerful and prevalent is felf- destroying self- love?
A62085How readest thou?
A62085How then should they have it, abiding in them?
A62085How vastly distant are God''s thoughts, and Man''s, in this matter?
A62085How?
A62085How?
A62085Hurt?
A62085I said of Laughter, it is mad: and of Mirth, what doth it?
A62085If Christ, if God be on their side, who can be against them, and prosper?
A62085If God be against him, who can be for him?
A62085If God be for them, who can be against them?
A62085If Man Submit not to God''s terms for receiving his new- Creation- Life, who can bring him to see, what shall be after him?
A62085If he has no other ground to stand on, when all that is gone, where is he?
A62085If that of Adam( and all men in him) had bin so, who could have bin saved?
A62085If the Wisdom of God be foolishness to them, can any wonder, those that come with the words of that wisdom, should be reckon''d fools, by them?
A62085If they can get Men to swallow down this, what need any other, or any care, or troubling our selvs about Religion, or Salvation, at all?
A62085In a literal sence, how oft do men hasten the death of their body, by 〈 ◊ 〉, riot and luxury?
A62085In the first- covenant wisdom of Man, or new- covenant wisdom of God?
A62085In the litteral Shadow, only, or Mystical truth, also?
A62085In the spiritual or mystical, what''s casting Bread upon the Waters?
A62085In what unutterable confusion, are mortals tugging and sweating against their own Salvation, and for their everlasting destruction?
A62085Is it so, even now?
A62085Is man, in Enmity to the whole Mind, Counsel, true Sabbath, and Sanctuary of God, like to be a faithful and able Minister of his Gospel- Truths?
A62085Is not here, enough?
A62085Is one word like to do it, for Salvation?
A62085Is there any Word from the Lord?
A62085Is there any thing, whereof it may be said, see, this is new?
A62085Is there anything new, any newnes of life, in mans restored Old?
A62085Is there not a cause for such Jealousies and Fears?
A62085Is this the Subject of the Cross of Christ?
A62085Is ye believe not Moses''s Writings, say''s he, How shall ye believe my words?
A62085Lie down in sorrow, under Wrath, for ever?
A62085Man, fixed in his own Life and way, and so, in Enmity to God; what reward can he expect, but final Wrath, as the meet Recompence of his Errour?
A62085May we not reckon these shuffling Halters between God and Baal, in a more dangerous condition, then the former?
A62085Must Satan''s gospel have such a world of Words, Books, Preachings, and Christ''s, but one word?
A62085Nay, but O Man, who 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 that thus repliest 〈 ◊ 〉 God?
A62085Next then, what''s meant by God''s giving such a sinner travel, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God?
A62085Nothing?
A62085Now, what a wretched wicked self- denial are they guilty of, that neglect all these advantages of their nature, to level themselves with Beasts?
A62085Now, whom think you, like to be most welcome to Man, the destroying Saviour, or the saving destroyer?
A62085Of whose Gospel?
A62085On his Answer, they say, What need of further witness?
A62085On supposal, a Man should violently crow''d into the Kingdom, in Holy Flesh, and sit at Christ''s Wedding Supper; still, what the better?
A62085On this, he Cries out, O Wretched Man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death?
A62085Or who can think what the Will of the Lord is?
A62085Or, Who knoweth and rightly consider''s the Spirit of Man, in its distinguishing Prerogative, from the Beast?
A62085Or, from the Love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord?
A62085Or, who can hurt them?
A62085Or, will ye never see?
A62085Preach a Gospel State, to you?
A62085Pretend he does, to the interpreting the words of God''s Wisdom; but, what work is he like to make on''t?
A62085Sand?
A62085Say not thou, what is the cause that the former days were better then these?
A62085Secondly then, who is the Sinner, here?
A62085Secondly, What, by the said Labourer''s being destitute of an heir?
A62085Secondly, in what sense is God the giver to him, with pain and travel, so to do?
A62085See ye now where we both are, with our several one- things?
A62085See you the differing, contrary Judgment of God, and wise, righteous men?
A62085See you what the Judgment of Man''s Wisdom, at best, is, about persons or things, that belong to God?
A62085Seeing there be many things that encrease vanity, what is Man the better?
A62085Shall I crucify your King?
A62085Shall I suffer all my mystical riches herein, to be seiz''d, and like a tame fool, make no resistance?
A62085Shall an earthy, clay- Man say to God, why hast thou made me thus?
A62085Shall he prosper?
A62085Shall he that contends with the Almighty, instruct him?
A62085So much as to declare the Transcendent Security and Priviledges of Saints?
A62085So, Pilat''s question, what is Truth?
A62085Solomon, King of litteral, and also, mystical earthly Jerusalem, in all the glory, wisdom, and righteousness of man?
A62085T. For, who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
A62085That the righteousness of Man, or Man, in his restor''d righteous life, according to the Law blameless, is in a state of everlasting Salvation?
A62085That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
A62085The Elders, chief- Priests and Scribes lead him into their Council, and all of them say to him, Art thou the Son of God?
A62085The Jews came round about Christ, and say''d to him, how long dost thou make us to doubt, or keep us in suspense?
A62085The Jews were for Moses; who, but they?
A62085The Pharisees said among themselvs, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 nothing?
A62085The Scriptures are own''d as the Words of God, by all, under the name of Christians, but how do they read, hear, or understand them?
A62085The Spiritual Man, the true Watchman, Prophet, and Seer of God, is a Fool, Mad, a Snare, Hatred it self; Where?
A62085The consequent hereof, Solomon declares, to be a dying before( or, not in) their time; saying, Why shouldst thou die before thy time?
A62085The enlight''ned, professing, righteous Jewish Teachers, said, on this very account, of Christ himself, he hath a Devil, and is Mad; Why hear ye him?
A62085Then said I in my heart, as it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise?
A62085Then, affirmatively, where is it to be had?
A62085They say in their hearts, who shall bring me down to the ground?
A62085They say, Who shall bring me down?
A62085Think any to enter into that House, any otherwise, then Christ himself could?
A62085Think''st thou, by thy wicked and rebellious contending with him, to escape, or find any thing short of thy eternal confusion?
A62085Think?
A62085This being so, Solomon sayes, Why was I then more Wise?
A62085This threefold Cord who can break?
A62085This, 〈 ◊ 〉, where are Men, with all the words of their Foolish Wisdom?
A62085Thou shalt never wash my feet, said Peter; No?
A62085Thy Counsel, who hath known, except thou give Wisdom, and send thy holy Spirit from above?
A62085To despise your own righteous Law- Life, or Living Soul, for Christ''s Gospel- Spirit?
A62085To throw up all rational and Intellectual pleasures, and betake themselvs wholly to Bestial?
A62085To wit, as to the gaining and keeping off the people, from listning to his Ministry?
A62085Trembling, and astonish''d, he said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
A62085Upon what?
A62085V. 1. Who is as the wise Man?
A62085Vanity of Vanities, in the Hebrew manner of expressing, signifies most vain, in the superlative degree?
A62085Vanity?
A62085Vanity?

A62085Yet, about this your one and the same thing, Satan''s gospel, what a world of Books in Libraries, Shops, and Houses?
A62085Yet, who else is heard, or regarded?
A62085a deceived heart turn''s him aside, that he ca n''t deliver his soul, nor say, is there not a lie in my right hand?
A62085a fading flower?
A62085a mistake, of meer ignorance?

A62085and whose shall all those things be, which thou hast provided?
A62085and your one thing, or Satan''s Gospel- principle and state, Millions, in throng''d auditories and crowd''s of numberless Books and Writings?
A62085and, are these words contrary to their''s and Satan''s accursed other Law- gospel?
A62085and, much study or reading, that''s weariness to the flesh?

A62085to appear in the unchangably righteous new- Creation Sanctuary of God, what a strang, incongruous thing and sight would it be?
A62085to be tumbled down to the lowest, hottest Hell, under the most fierce and fiery indignation of God, for ever?
A62085to go whole and unmaimed into it, in that Life or natural state, he crucified?
A62085to the Words of my Wisdom, in my Gospel Spirit of Truth?
A62085to wit, in my renewed Life, Wisdom, and Righteousness of Man?
A62085what Living?
A62085what a hard case is this, for the true Sons and Seers of God, amongst the deluded sottish sons of Men, that 〈 ◊ 〉 their own Ruin?
A62085what a world of Preaching in throng''d Auditories?
A62085what must the many that Perish, be?
A62085what?
A62085where must one be, to get the least of Truth into your understandings and hearts?
A62085whiff it away with a breath, and a losty cast up nose of Pride?
A62085who themselves may be, or are the most criminal Enthusiasts, under the inspirations of seducing Spirits, preaching the very doctrines of Devils?
A62085who will be found uppermost?
A62085who will, or can help them up, when fallen under the final wrath of God?
A62085who?
A62085will it be so, to the end of this World and Satan''s Reign?
A62085will ye call his oft Repetitions of the same thing, in the same or various words, vain Repetitions and Impertinencies?
A62085ye have heard the Blasphemy, what think ye?
A62085yea, that shall not be of a direct tendency, under God''s over- ruling order, to their final and everlasting good?
A62085〈 ◊ 〉 ye, how matters go, between Heathen Magistrat''s and first- Covenant Brethren, against Christ and the second?
A537211. how much more will he do so, who being often invited unto Peace with God, yet hardeneth his heart, and refuseth to treat with him?
A5372111. what do the Saints hereupon?
A5372116. not make haste; to what?
A5372118. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity?
A5372124. cry out, when he was deprived of them?
A53721A man professeth that the death of Christ will mortifie sin, and subdue corruption; Why doth he believe it?
A53721After what?
A53721Ah how many Laodicean Churches have we in the World?
A53721Ah poor worms, with whom have we to do?
A53721Ah saith the soul, Whither shall I cause my sorrow to go?
A53721Ah, saith the soul, have I thus requited the wonderful astonishing Love of my Redeemer?
A53721Alas, what strangers for the most part are men now adayes to this frame?
A53721And are they accepted with God?
A53721And by the Apostle; Is God unjust who taketh vengeance?
A53721And by what means it hath been declared unto you?
A53721And doth he not in them, and by them speak us into a Reverence of his Greatness?
A53721And for us who have in this matter to do with God, what is our continuance unto that of the world?
A53721And for your duties you mention, what I pray is the root and spring of them?
A53721And hast thou thus requited my love?
A53721And have I failed them?
A53721And have you considered what it is for sinners, such sinners as you are, to have to deal with a Righteous and a holy God?
A53721And have your hearts leaped within you with the thoughts of it?
A53721And how could his delight be with the Sons of men?
A53721And how do we behold this glory?
A53721And how is it in this case?
A53721And how small a portion is it that we know of God?
A53721And if he be somewhat disquieted, can he not contain himself, but that he must roar, and cry out?
A53721And if we deal so with God what is there in our so doing, praise worthy?
A53721And indeed what can be more righteous than its sentence?
A53721And is not the reason of it, that we value the world more, and Heaven and heavenly things less than he did?
A53721And shall he be refused by you?
A53721And shall it now be neglected or despised by you?
A53721And shall not we be instructed by him?
A53721And shall not we now be made partakers of it?
A53721And shall the soul be slothful, careless, dull, secure, when fire is put to its eternal concernments?
A53721And shall this fail us?
A53721And shall we think that such as these believe forgiveness of sin?
A53721And to what end doth God at any time make these seemingly dubious intimations of Grace and Mercy?
A53721And to what end hat he thus spared us, and let pass those Advantages for our destruction, that we have put into his hand?
A53721And to what end is this?
A53721And to what end?
A53721And what Effects have these thoughts produced?
A53721And what Reason have they then to believe that the things which it speaks of that are without them, are one jot better?
A53721And what are we poor worms, whose lives are measured by inches in comparison of their span?
A53721And what are we, that we should contend about it with him?
A53721And what can not the Wisdom and Grace of the Father and Son effect and accomplish?
A53721And what could God that can not lye, do more, to give us satisfaction herein than he hath done?
A53721And what course doth he steer in this heavy, sorrowful, and disconsolate condition?
A53721And what course doth he take to convince them of their mistake therein?
A53721And what course doth he take?
A53721And what did he obtain hereby?
A53721And what do they bear witness unto?
A53721And what do we know or understand of these things?
A53721And what doth she do when she is thus resolved?
A53721And what greater evidence, what greater Assurance can we have, that there is forgiveness with God for us?
A53721And what is got by this?
A53721And what is it that he prayes for them, in distinction from all other men whatever?
A53721And what is that?
A53721And what is the rise, spring, and cause of these things?
A53721And what is their acceptance with God?
A53721And what know we hereof?
A53721And what peace can you possibly obtain, were you as holy as ever you aimed or desired to be, whilest this is your Condition?
A53721And what shall we say, when he himself hath undertaken to make all things that he guides unto us to work together for our good?
A53721And what thence ensues?
A53721And what was that better Testament?
A53721And what was the Reason, what was the cause, that he was thus dealt withal?
A53721And what way did you steer, what course did you take to obtain the blessed condition wherein now you are?
A53721And what will be the end?
A53721And what will be the issue?
A53721And what will it avail any of us, that there is forgiveness of sin with God, if our own sins be not forgiven?
A53721And wherein did it consist?
A53721And wherein doth that consist?
A53721And who is this that is thus sent and called the only begotten Son of God?
A53721And why so?
A53721And wilt thou think it meet for such a one as thou art, to magnifie thy self against the great possessor of Heaven and Earth?
A53721Are not Heaven and Earth astonished at the despising of that Love, at which they are astonished?
A53721Are not the Consciences, and Convictions of the most stifled, by this Apprehension?
A53721Are the corrupted Natures of men, and the Gospel so suited, so complying?
A53721Are their consciences purged?
A53721Are their hearts continually filled with thoughts about it?
A53721Are their hearts purified by it?
A53721Are their lives changed?
A53721Are they not all the effect of the Word of the Power of this glorious God?
A53721Are they solicitous about it?
A53721Are they solicitous concerning their interest in it?
A53721Are we not satisfied with our condition?
A53721Are we, say they, blind also?
A53721Are you tossed up and down between hopes and fears, want peace, consolation and establishment?
A53721Art thou come to call my sins to remembrance and to slay my Son?
A53721Art thou not even ashamed to desire him to return?
A53721As Reuben cryed, The child is not, and I whither shall I go?
A53721Be it so then; through our sin and default this good and holy Law, this Covenant was made unprofitable unto us; But what was that unto God?
A53721But are you sure now that this is so, may you not possibly be deceived?
A53721But did they make a right Judgement of themselves?
A53721But doth Christ agree with Zion in this sentence?
A53721But doth he lye down under the burden of all this trouble?
A53721But doth it abide there?
A53721But doth not this tend to licenciousness?
A53721But his Soveraignty, Righteousness and Holiness, how are they declared hereby?
A53721But how are you confirmed in this perswasion?
A53721But how can this be?
A53721But how doth this appear that indeed this is the counsel of his will?
A53721But how then could he rejoyce in the habitable parts of the Earth?
A53721But is this all?
A53721But is this that forgiveness which is revealed in the Gospel?
A53721But is this the design of God?
A53721But now what are the greatest number of those who pretend to receive this Truth?
A53721But now what can be required to make any thing a duty unto us, that is wanting in this matter?
A53721But shall this Atheistical wickedness of the heart of man be called a discovery of forgiveness?
A53721But this is not all; he is not swallowed up in this amazement, crying out only who can stand?
A53721But was it so with her indeed?
A53721But what are these duties?
A53721But what is a dead body, and a dead womb, to an accusing Conscience, a killing Law, and apprehensions of a God terrible as a consuming fire?
A53721But what is it that can be reasonably excepted against this evidence, this foundation of our faith in this matter?
A53721But what is it unto the whole habitable world, and the fulness thereof?
A53721But what is the ground of such an invitation, unto such profligate sinners?
A53721But what is the issue?
A53721But what is the issue?
A53721But what is the issue?
A53721But who are they?
A53721But you will say how shall we distinguish between these two, so as not causelesly to be disquieted and perplexed?
A53721But you will say; Why, what great matter is there that you have in hand?
A53721By whom are they proposed?
A53721By whom were these Terms procured for you?
A53721Can I walk with God in them, whilst I have thus made him mine enemy?
A53721Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
A53721Can any one certainly say, that he is worsted thereby?
A53721Can he not be quiet night nor day?
A53721Can he, say they, give bread?
A53721Can two walk together unless they be agreed?
A53721Can we be deceived trusting in it, or expecting that we shall find him to be what his name declares?
A53721Can you find a man that is otherwise minded?
A53721Could it have any other end, but to deceive poor creatures?
A53721Did I love thee, and leave my glory to become a scorn and reproach for thy sake?
A53721Did I not think my life, and all that was dear unto me too good for thee, to save thee from the wrath to come?
A53721Did he go through with it?
A53721Did he no more for the securing of the forgiveness of sins unto us, but only that he dyed for them?
A53721Did he only testifie his Love, and shew his good will for our deliverance?
A53721Did his Work cease in his death?
A53721Did it interest them in the promises?
A53721Did not the wrath of God overtake them notwithstanding?
A53721Did this profit them?
A53721Do these things abound in you?
A53721Do they deny all ungodliness and worldly lusts?
A53721Do they look upon it as their Treasure, their Jewel, their Pearl of price?
A53721Do they often look and examine whether it continues safe in their possession or no?
A53721Do they reckon, that whilst that is safe, all is safe with them?
A53721Do we doubt whether there be forgiveness with God or no?
A53721Do we not find all men full enough, most too full of Apprehensions of Forgiveness with God?
A53721Do we think that God hath forgiveness only for this or that individual person?
A53721Do you aright consider the nature of this matter?
A53721Do you at all seriously think of these things?
A53721Do you think it excellent, safe, and Glorious unto them who are entred unto it?
A53721Do you think to mend your condition by wishing it better, or complaining it is so bad?
A53721Doth forgiveness teach them so to do?
A53721Doth the Husbandman after he casts his seed into the Earth, immediately the next day, the next week, expect that it will be harvest?
A53721Find you not in your selves an impotency, a disability unto the dutyes of Obedience, as to their performance unto God in an acceptable manner?
A53721Finding themselves in depths, in distresses about sin, what course do they take?
A53721First, Then in particular it cryes out, If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721For do we think that he will be beholding unto them?
A53721For having said, Why dost thou cast me off O God?
A53721For how else should Cain so instantly know, that his Brother and his Offering were accepted, but that he and his were refused?
A53721For how should a man, any man, the best of men, be just with God if he would contend with him?
A53721For may he not do what he will with his own?
A53721For the Interrogation is indefinite; not how can I?
A53721For to what end should he have done it?
A53721For what Reason can be imagined, why God will be glorified in one Essential Excellency of his Nature, and not in another?
A53721For what else becomes us when we have to do with this great, and Holy one?
A53721For what need any man complain of that which requires nothing of him, but what he is from his own frame and Principles inclined unto?
A53721For what should encourage us unto any such boldness?
A53721For what sincerity can be in such proceedings?
A53721For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his counsellor?
A53721God alwaies immutably subsisting in his own Infinite Being?
A53721Gospel- forgiveness?
A53721Hast thou not heard; hast not thou known?
A53721Hath God enlarged our hearts in prayer?
A53721Hath Nabal thus requited my kindness saith David?
A53721Hath he so done his work and laid it aside, or doth he still continue to carry it on until it be brought unto its perfection?
A53721Hath it been to make up what was wanting, and to piece up a peace in your own Consciences?
A53721Hath it filled you with self- loathing and Abhorrency, with self- condemnation, and abasement?
A53721Hath it this effect upon his soul, in his own heart?
A53721Hath the Holy Ghost wrought a serious Recognition in your hearts of all these things, and caused them to abide with you and upon you?
A53721Hath the unspeakable multitude of the sins of your lives been set in order by the Law before you?
A53721Hath this been done by a Word of Truth?
A53721Have I been a Wilderness unto thee, or a land of darkness?
A53721Have the wayes of Holyness, of Obedience, of Duties been so unto you?
A53721Have they found it effectual to these purposes?
A53721Have they had secret reasonings and contendings in their hearts about it?
A53721Have we nothing to do but to lay the foundation?
A53721Have you been convinced of the Universal Enmity that is in your hearts to the mind of God; and what it is to be at Enmity against God?
A53721Have you been filled with perplexities and consternation of Spirit thereupon?
A53721Have you given up your selves to this Grace?
A53721Have you had fears dreads or terrors to wrestle withall?
A53721Have you looked upon it as the price of his life, and the purchase of his blood?
A53721Have you seen pardon flowing from the heart of the Father through the blood of the Son?
A53721Have you stood at the shore of that infinite Ocean of Goodness and Love?
A53721Have you then been made sensible of your condition by Nature; what it is to be alienated from the life of God, and to be obnoxious to his wrath?
A53721Have your souls found supportment and relief from that Consideration?
A53721He did it not upon our desire, request, or proposal, but meerly of his own Accord, and why should we contend with him about it?
A53721He finds fault with the first; what then doth he do?
A53721He is great and terrible, a marker of sin, and what shall I say unto him?
A53721He quickly rebukes and recollects himself, saying, Why art thou cast down O my Soul, and why art thou disquieted within me?
A53721He sayes of some sins of ungodly men, as I live this iniquity shall not be purged from you until ye dye?
A53721He takes up their hearts to be his dwelling place; to what ends and purposes?
A53721He that made the Eye, shall he not see?
A53721He that planted the Ear, shall he not hear?
A53721He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
A53721He that thus prescribes forgiveness to us, that bestows the Grace of it upon us, is there not forgiveness with him?
A53721How comes it to be an occasion of his trouble?
A53721How comes the Remembrance of God to be unto him a matter of trouble?
A53721How could David keep silence, and yet roar all the day long?
A53721How did they entertain these promises of God?
A53721How doth David rouse up himself when he found his mind inclinable unto such a frame?
A53721How doth God know?
A53721How great then will be your destruction?
A53721How infinite, how unspeakable must needs the Grace and Condescention of God in this matter be?
A53721How is it then that you are thus delivered that you are no more sad?
A53721How is the true God distinguished from these Gods by Reputation?
A53721How light do most men make of pardon?
A53721How little of the workings of this Spirit is found amongst us?
A53721How long did his Afflictions continue?
A53721How many Professors are members of these Chruches?
A53721How many, things have the Romanists invented to deceive souls withal?
A53721How much less on them that dwell in houses of Clay; whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?
A53721How shall a man know that his humiliation is Evangelical, that his sorrow is according to God?
A53721How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?
A53721How then shall we apprehend it; how shall we conceive of it?
A53721How then shall we obtain the knowledge of them?
A53721How unconceivable is this glorious divine Property unto the thoughts and minds of men?
A53721How was he prepared for the reception of this great mysterie in its first discovery?
A53721How was this?
A53721How weak are the waies and terms whereby they go about to express it?
A53721However, what shame and confusion of face belongs to me for my wretched disingenuity, and ingratitude towards him?
A53721I am sure, that eventually they prevail so far, that in the preaching of the Gospel, we have great cause to say, Lord who hath believed our report?
A53721I have sinned, what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men?
A53721I speak unto them that are under the Law; Would you be free from that bondage, that galling yoke in dutyes of Obedience?
A53721If God will have us saved in a way of meer mercy and forgiveness; If his Wisdom and Soveraignty be in it, shall we oppose him, and say we like it not?
A53721If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not; how will you believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
A53721If any one hath sinned, and is in depths and entanglements about it; what course shall he take, how shall he proceed to obtain deliverance?
A53721If he did so, and had that blessed Issue, why should not we do so also?
A53721If one man sin against another, the Judge shall judge him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him?
A53721If then you say you know it; Let us enquire how you came so to do?
A53721If they have no Experience of what it affirms to be within them, what confidence can they have of the Reality of what it reveals to be without them?
A53721If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquity, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquity, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721If thou be Righteous what givest thou him, or what receiveth he at thine hand?
A53721If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A53721If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A53721If we abide at a distance from God, we shall assuredly perish; who ever hardned himself against him and prospered?
A53721If you are not, why do you give up your selves to despondencies?
A53721If you do these things ye shall never fall: What never fall into sin?
A53721If you sit still you perish, and if you rise to be doing, it will not be better; is there no hope left for our Souls?
A53721In that case who shall take upon him to intercede for the sinner?
A53721Is Grace capable of a conversion into Lust or Sin?
A53721Is he fit to intercede for sinners that shall make it?
A53721Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous, or is it gain unto him that thou makest thy wayes perfect?
A53721Is it consistent with any Divine Excellency?
A53721Is it for want of Mercy, Goodness, Grace or Patience in God?
A53721Is it for want of the mightiest encouragements and most infallible Assurances that with God there is Forgiveness?
A53721Is it in a future Amendment and Repentance?
A53721Is it in the World?
A53721Is it in the continuance of their lives?
A53721Is it in their Duties, and Righteousness?
A53721Is it in their Lusts, and sins, that they will yield them as much satisfaction and contentment as they shall need to desire?
A53721Is it not Industry and Activity of spirit?
A53721Is it not a common complaint that men presume on it, unto their eternal ruine?
A53721Is it not evident that all their lives they seem industriously to take care that they may perish eternally?
A53721Is it not for the most part from your sloth and despondency of spirit?
A53721Is it not he who destroyed Aegypt with his Plagues, and drowned Pharaoh with his Host in the red Sea?
A53721Is it not he, one of whose servants flew an hundred and fourscore and five thousand in Senacheribs Army in one night?
A53721Is it not that he might by his patience, give us leave and space to get an interest in that forgiveness which he thus testifies to be in himself?
A53721Is it not then incumbent on every one to be enquiring in what number he is likely to be found at the last day?
A53721Is it nothing unto you to lose all your hopes, and all your Expectations which you have from hence?
A53721Is it possible there should be mercy for such an one?
A53721Is it saith he, to God, Good for thee that shouldst oppress, that thou shouldst despise the work of thy hands?
A53721Is it the burning of our houses, the spoiling of our Goods, the ruine of our estates alone that our sins have deserved?
A53721Is it through any defect in the Mediation of the Lord Christ?
A53721Is not God holy, righteous, wise in what he hath done?
A53721Is not this he who brought the Flood of old upon the world of ungodly men?
A53721Is not this to make God an Idol?
A53721Is not what he doth, good and holy because he doth it?
A53721Is that the beginning of our Message unto him?
A53721Is the New Covenant grown so connatural to flesh and blood?
A53721Is the greatest secret that ever was revealed from the bosom of the Father, become so familiar and easie to the wisdom of the flesh?
A53721Is there any need of their Testimony to the Truth, Faithfulness, and Goodness of God?
A53721Is there any thing more to be done herein?
A53721Is there forgiveness with him or no?
A53721Is there no forgiveness with God?
A53721Is there not Remunerative Justice in God, in a way of Bounty?
A53721Is there not Vindictive Justice in him, in a way of severity?
A53721Is this all?
A53721Is this an Argument to keep thee from believing?
A53721Is this any thing of that you do believe?
A53721Is this giving all diligence?
A53721Is this the frame of the most of men?
A53721Is this the return that thou hast made unto him for all his love, his kindness, his consolations, mercies?
A53721Is this the return, the requital, I have made unto him?
A53721Is this thy kindness for him, thy love to him?
A53721Is this thy kindness to thy Friend?
A53721Is this working out our Salvation with fear and trembling?
A53721It comes not in its own name, but in the name of him who appointed it; you will say then, is it so indeed?
A53721It is an expression of exultation that he useth; but what is the Issue of it?
A53721It is answered by the matter of the Proposal, who can stand?
A53721It is to bring him to Repentance: What now, if he obtaine his end, and man cometh to that which is aimed at?
A53721It must then be for our sakes; and for what?
A53721It will then be said, doth not all this lye directly contrary to our daily experience?
A53721Let Jesus Christ be heard to speak in this cause, let him come and judge?
A53721Let us consider with whom we have to do; are not we and all our concernments in his hands, as the Clay in the hand of the Potter?
A53721Many have not these terms revealed unto them; few find favour to accept of them; and of whom is it that you have obtained this peculiar mercy?
A53721May I not justly fear, that the Lord will take his holy Spirit from me, until I be left without remedy?
A53721May he not do what he will with his own?
A53721May it not be feared that it is utterly otherwise?
A53721May not an Intercessor be obtained to plead in the behalf of the guilty soul?
A53721May we not then see a mixture of unspeakable patience, grace and mercy in every dispensation?
A53721Methinks now Judas his Repentance looks like the young mans Obedience, who cryed out, all these things have I done; Is there any thing yet lacking?
A53721No, saith the Apostle, God hath another design in his patience, and long- suffering; what is this?
A53721No; Have they considered how the Objections that lye against it may be removed?
A53721None can, saith the Holy Ghost; nor can it be spoken to their capacity; ah what shall their end be?
A53721Nor is there the least relief to be had but from and by him; for who can forgive sins but God?
A53721Not at all; But is it so indeed that this perswasion is thus bred in you, you know not how?
A53721Notions there are many about it, and endless contentions, but what more?
A53721Now how can any man apply himself hereunto, whilest he is altogether uncertain whether he hath received any principle of Living, Saving Grace, or no?
A53721Now how do most men look upon forgiveness?
A53721Now what is the Advantage of these things?
A53721Now what is the way to receive that which comes from meer Soveraignty and prerogative?
A53721Now what was Adams condition when the Revelation of forgiveness was first made to him?
A53721O sinners, come and deal with God by Repentance: Doth it not openly speak forgiveness in God?
A53721O that I had thousands of Ramms, and ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl to offer to him?
A53721Oh how little is this really believed, even by them who make a profession of it?
A53721Or are you so under the power of your Lusts, Ignorance, and Darkness, that you neglect and despise them?
A53721Or by what other wayes or means have you come to that acquaintance with it, whereof you boast?
A53721Or did you receive it from and by some seasonable word, of, or from the Scriptures spoken unto you?
A53721Or do you not hope well in Generall upon the account of what you have done, and will doe?
A53721Or have you general thoughts that Christ dyed for finners?
A53721Or is it never fall totally from God?
A53721Our sins are upon us, we pine away in them, and how should we then live?
A53721Particular troublesome reflections upon your selves, when on any eruption of sin, Conscience accuses, rebukes, condemns?
A53721Reason stands by amazed, and cryes how can these things be?
A53721Saith such a soul in its self; foolish creature, hast thou thus requited the Lord?
A53721Saith such a soul, How excellent, how precious is this forgiveness that is with God?
A53721Secondly, But may not this Judge be intreated to pass by what he knows, and to deal favourably with the sinner?
A53721Shall I curse God and dye?
A53721Shall I do more than ever he required of any of the Sons of men?
A53721Shall I take the course of the world, and seeing it will be no better, be wholly regardless of my latter end?
A53721Shall all this be done for our sakes, and shall we undervalue it, or disesteem it?
A53721Shall he not believe, or profess those things to be so, because he can not obtaine a blessed Experience of them?
A53721Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A53721Shall she give over waiting on God, and say there is no hope?
A53721Shall we call him unto an account?
A53721Sinners are under the power of Satan; he layes a claim unto them, and by what means shall they be rescued from his interest and dominion?
A53721So doth such a soul; the Love of God is not, Christ is not, and I whither shall I cause my sorrow to go?
A53721Some we find crying with that wicked King, This evil is of the Lord, why should we wait any longer for him?
A53721Such as he will not do often nor ordinarily; such as shall fill the world with dread and amazement: He will answer his people in terrible things?
A53721Suppose this also; Let us go a little further and enquire whether you know any thing that yet remains of the like importance in this matter?
A53721Suppose you are strangers to this also: What communion with God have you had about it in the blood of Christ?
A53721That it should be an endeavour needless, or superfluous, to inquire into the Will of God about, and our own interest in these things, who can imagine?
A53721That you would seriously consider, whether the forgiveness you rest on, and hope in, be that Gospel Forgiveness which we have before described?
A53721The Indefiniteness of that Interrogation; Who shall stand?
A53721The Law it knows; and Righteousness it knows, but as for forgiveness it sayes, whence is it?
A53721The Rise and Spring of our forgiveness is in the heart and Gracious Nature of God, declared by his Name; Have you enquired seriously into this?
A53721The Terms of it are unequall, how can any man believe them?
A53721The last Lords day, such a one, or such a one preached to the same purpose; And what need it be insisted on now again, with so much importunity?
A53721The sinner can not then expect any door of escape to be opened unto him?
A53721The sinners in Sion are afraid, fearfulness hath surprised the Hypocrites; who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
A53721The soul in this frame is contented to wait the pleasure of God, as we shall see in the close of the Psalm?
A53721The wayes of Wisdom are pleasantness, and her paths are peace?
A53721Then shall you remember your own evil wayes, and your doings that were not good; When shall they do so?
A53721There being no forgiveness for them, what should move them to repent?
A53721These things are plainly, openly, frequently insisted on in the Gospel?
A53721This is called speaking against God; they spake against God; they said, Can he furnish a Table in the wilderness?
A53721This makes him tremble, and cry out, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721This was the Way whereby he rose out of his depths and escaped out of his entanglements?
A53721Thou numbrest my steps, dost thou not watch over my sin?
A53721Thoughts of sinning against the Love of God, managed by the Holy Ghost; what shall I say?
A53721Thy houses are burned, but perhaps thy goods are saved; is there no grace, no goodness therein?
A53721To have no other Reception with God, than if all this while you had been wallowing in your sins and lusts?
A53721To have pardon, forgiveness, life, and blessed Eternity on believing, who can rest in it?
A53721To what end doth the Lord set forth and declare his glorious Greatness and Power?
A53721To what end?
A53721Upon the death of her Son, which it seems was some what extraordinary, she cryed out unto the Prophet, What have I to do with thee thou Man of God?
A53721Was it by preaching of the Word unto you, or by reading of it, or meditating upon it?
A53721Was it by vertue of any especial personal priviledge that was peculiar unto them?
A53721Was there any Reason, why he should do so, designing to do all things for himself and for his own glory?
A53721We come with our Report of forgiveness; but who believes it?
A53721We must say then unto such heartless Complainers, as God did to Joshuah, Get you up, why lye you thus upon your faces?
A53721Well may poor sinners cry out, Lord who shall stand?
A53721Well then, if God will hasten it, may not we hasten to it?
A53721Well, what shall be the issue thereof?
A53721What Argument doth he make use of to free them from their unbelief, and to rebuke their fears?
A53721What a life of Joy, Rest, Peace, and Consolation do they lead?
A53721What an easie thing is it to be acquainted with it?
A53721What are his thoughts hereupon?
A53721What are these joyful tydings?
A53721What ayles the Man?
A53721What can remain of distrust in such a case?
A53721What can these thoughts and counsels be, but about a way for their deliverance, which could no otherwise be, but by the forgiveness of sins?
A53721What can we now object against what is thus confirmed?
A53721What course did you take?
A53721What course then shall she take?
A53721What course will you fix upon, for the obtaining of these Ends?
A53721What did he aim at and design?
A53721What dismal darkness and disconsolation, yea, what utter ruine should I be left unto?
A53721What do I think of Ordinances?
A53721What doth he call them unto?
A53721What for the most part have you hitherto been conversant about?
A53721What further can any soul desire?
A53721What great sin, crime, or offence is in this enquiry?
A53721What greater can be given?
A53721What ground is left of questioning the Truth in hand?
A53721What ground remains for unbelief to stand upon in this matter?
A53721What hath any soul in the World to object against them?
A53721What have you to say to these things?
A53721What if I should have so grieved him that he will dwell in me no more, delight in me no more?
A53721What is a Church?
A53721What is it that the Scripture calls for in your condition?
A53721What is it that they intend thereby?
A53721What is so High, Glorious, and Mysterious as the Doctrine of the ever blessed Trinity?
A53721What is that silence which is consistent with roaring?
A53721What is the Reason hereof?
A53721What is the bottom and foundation of this blessed Resolution?
A53721What is the end of all Church Order, Assemblies, and Worship?
A53721What is the issue?
A53721What is the matter with all this roaring, sighing, tears, roaring all the day, all night long?
A53721What is the reason that controversies hang so long between God and your souls, that it may be you scarce see a good day all your lives?
A53721What is the usual course that is taken in such complaints by them to whom they are made?
A53721What is their common deportment in reference unto it?
A53721What link of this Chain can unbelief break in, or upon?
A53721What now have the most of men, who are confident in the profession of this faith, to say unto this thing?
A53721What now if God should deprive us of all these things?
A53721What pretence, colour, or excuse can we have for our unbelief?
A53721What say they unto a poor guilty sinner?
A53721What shall I do to be saved, is the utmost it aims at, Who shall deliver me, how shall I escape?
A53721What shall be the end of them that obey not the Gospel?
A53721What shall be the end of them that obey not the Gospel?
A53721What shall he then do?
A53721What shall we now say?
A53721What shall we say after this?
A53721What shall we say concerning the Heavens over us, and all these creatures of Light that have their habitations in them?
A53721What so common as God is merciful?
A53721What then I pray?
A53721What then became of the Lord Christ in his undertaking?
A53721What then did Christ do in his death?
A53721What then did God do unto him?
A53721What then doth God aim at in and by all these various wayes of teachings?
A53721What then doth he do?
A53721What then doth the sinner?
A53721What then is now become of him?
A53721What then is the natural posture and frame of the soul towards God as displeased?
A53721What then is the peculiar Instruction that is proper for souls in this condition?

A53721What then shall poor, sinful, guilty creatures do?
A53721What then shall we now say?

A53721What then?
A53721What understanding can reach to an apprehension of their miserable and wofull condition?
A53721What was his condition who fled of old to the City of refuge for safety, from whence this expression is taken?
A53721What was his intention in submitting unto, and undergoing the Will of God in these things?
A53721What was in transaction between God as the Judge of all, and him that was the Mediator of the Church?
A53721What was the matter of this report?
A53721What was then his State and Condition?
A53721What was wanting that made all that they did abominable?
A53721What way then, what remedy is left unto us?
A53721What will you doe?
A53721What, because God can not pardon them, it is not possible with him?
A53721When he giveth quietness, who can give trouble?
A53721When it is, as it were, laid out of the way by sin and unbelief, do they give themselves no rest, untill it be afresh discovered unto them?
A53721When was this done?
A53721Whence is it then that there is such a bleating and bellowing to the contrary amongst them?
A53721Whence then is it said, that God appeared unto them by the name of Elshaddai, but not by the name of Jehovah?
A53721Whence therefore doth it appear, whence may we infallibly conclude, that God will redeem his Israel from all their iniquities?
A53721Where have you found ease and peace?
A53721Where is he, and what doth he?
A53721Where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
A53721Where then is Boasting?
A53721Wherefore did this glorious Son of God come and Tabernacle amongst poor sinners?
A53721Wherefore doth he reject and lay aside this Covenant and Promise to make another, and do so accordingly?
A53721Wherefore the Law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good; was then that which was good made death unto me?

A53721Who shall undertake to umpire the business, the controversie between God and Sinners?
A53721Who thinks not that they know well enough at least what it is, if they might but obtain it?
A53721Whom did God send about this business?
A53721Whose Conscience almost is burdened with this as a sin, that he doth not as he ought, believe the forgiveness of his sins?
A53721Why had such one help and I none?
A53721Why my house, not my neighbours?
A53721Why sayest thou O Jacob, and speakest O Israel, my way is hid from the Lord, and my judgement is passed over from my God?
A53721Why should any one have a thought of compassion towards them, who despise the compassion of God?
A53721Why should it be their duty so to do?
A53721Why the City, not the Suburbs?
A53721Why what ayled you, what was the matter with you; seeing as to the outward things you were in Peace?
A53721Why where is the defect?
A53721Why, saith he?
A53721Why, they have nothing to lead them into the mysterious depths of eternal Love, of the blood of Christ, and Promises of the Gospel?
A53721Will Christ pray that they may find favour with him?
A53721Will he not frequently satisfie himself that it is safe?
A53721Will he now deny that unto us, which he hath given such Assurance of, and raised such expectations concerning it?
A53721Will it do me any good to be at Jerusalem, and not see the face of the King?
A53721Will it relieve me?
A53721Will not the dread of his Excellency fall upon us?
A53721Will we continue on the old bottom of the first Covenant?
A53721Will what was once Grace, ever become Wantonness?
A53721Will you yet account the blood of the Covenant to be a common thing?
A53721Without a perswasion hereof how can a man on grounds of faith carry himself towards God as his Father?
A53721Would he not bestir himself with all his might, and call in all the help he could obtain?
A53721Would he not by so doing prove himself to be the greatest of them?
A53721Would it not change the whole frame of the spirit of such a man, and as it were put new life into him?
A53721Would you be made partakers of this forgiveness?
A53721Would you have all that you do towards God, a delight and pleasantness unto you?
A53721Yea, and let him be accursed; for what can be more required to justifie God in his eternal destruction?
A53721You believe there is forgiveness with God; Yes, but have you been convinced of sin?
A53721You have taken away my Gods, saith he, and what have I more?
A53721You will say then, What shall a man do who can not find or obtain an experience in himself of what is affirmed in the Word?
A53721You will say then, do you condemn this manner of proceeding with the souls of men in their doubts, fears and distresses?
A53721and by what means?
A53721and have not all ages been filled with such instances of his Greatness and Power?
A53721and how are they performed?
A53721and how many are ruined by them every day?
A53721and if he be, why do we not subscribe unto his wayes, and submit quietly unto his Will?
A53721and if it were otherwise could men possibly be more frustrated or deceived?
A53721and if we know nothing at all of these things, as indeed we do not, were it not best for us to leave them quietly unto Gods disposal?
A53721and may he not do what he will with his own?
A53721and sent out fire from the Altar to devour Nadab and Abibu?
A53721and shall we complain of Gods dispensations about them?
A53721and shall we then repine against it?
A53721and shall we think that this is the whole design of the Patience of God?
A53721and what mean thoughts are entertained about it, when men seek for pardon?
A53721and when he hideth his face, who can behold him?
A53721are any Complaints ready to break out of our mouths?
A53721are they influenced from this Faith of forgiveness you boast of or no?
A53721are your complaints of want of an Interest in forgiveness, a sanctified means to obtain it?
A53721because it is so affirmed in the Gospel: How then, doth he find it to be so?
A53721but, who can stand?
A53721by the Promise of the Gospel?
A53721by whom is it received?
A53721can he give flesh unto his people?
A53721can not we wait under his present dispensations?
A53721do any repining thoughts against the works of God arise in our hearts?
A53721do we know what state, what condition will most further our Obedience, best obviate our temptations, or call most on us to mortifie our Corruptions?
A53721doth he despond, and give over?
A53721doth he think to fly from God, and to give over all endeavours of recovery?
A53721doth he think to reap so soon as he hath sown?
A53721doth it answer all the wants and distresses of your souls?
A53721doth not the nature of the thing require humble waiting?
A53721doth not this render Obedience, Holiness, Duties, Mortification of sin, and good works, needless?
A53721doth she make use of her former excuses and pretences, why she could not engage into the duties she was called unto?
A53721either to delude them if they do pray according to his command, or to involve them in further guilt, if they do not?
A53721hath he no other purpose but meerly to forbear them a while in their folly, and then to avenge himself upon them?
A53721have they given you delight in God, and strength unto new obedience?
A53721have they made you more holy, and more humble?
A53721have you been by any means delivered, or did your trouble wear off, and depart of its own accord?
A53721his only design?
A53721is it not the principle of spiritual life, whereof thou art partaker?
A53721is it not, the new Creature?
A53721is it that we should by the difficulty included in them, be discouraged and kept from him?
A53721it is excluded; by what Law?
A53721leave them in darkness, vailed, undiscovered, satisfying himself in the glory of those Properties which his work of Creation had made known?
A53721must we pine away under our sins and the wrath of God for ever?
A53721never silent, never hold his peace?
A53721now he is gone; he is withdrawn from thee, and what wilt thou do?
A53721or I see a little grass in the blade, but no corn, I will give it to the beasts to devour it?
A53721or Jacob, when he said, My way is hid from the Lord, and my Judgement is passed over from my God?
A53721or cry this evil is of the Lord, why should I wait for him any longer?
A53721or did also effectually pursue it, and not faint, until he had made a way for the exercise of forgiveness?
A53721or did he faint under it?
A53721or doth he immediately say, I have laboured in vain, here is no return, I will pull up the hedge of this field and lay it waste?
A53721or have you any thing to object against it?
A53721or if they do so, what shall give them countenance, in their so doing?
A53721or is it only a General Apprehension of Impunity, though you are Sinners?
A53721or of mercy towards them who trample on the blood of Christ?
A53721or perhaps thy substance also is consumed, but yet thy person is alive; and should a living man complain?
A53721or shall he hide himself from him, and so avoid the effects of his wrath?
A53721or wherein do men repose their Trust and Confidence in the neglect of this so great Salvation?
A53721or whether we shall obtain it, if we address our selves unto him for to be made partakers of it?
A53721or would you have them pine away under the sense of their condition, or abide in this uncertainty all their daies?
A53721seeing as yet they were not?
A53721shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A53721shall I give my first born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A53721shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
A53721shall he contend with him?
A53721shall he despise his wrath and anger, and contemn his threatnings?
A53721shall he harden himself against him?
A53721shall we desire your salvation with the despoyling God of his honour?
A53721shall we not think his way best, and his time best, and that our duty is to be silent before him?
A53721shall we preferre you above his Glory?
A53721shall you be delivered?
A53721that opened the Earth to swallow up Dathan and Abiram?
A53721that we can live at a better rate without a sense of the love of God in Christ, than he could do?
A53721that which we have been treating about?
A53721to live under Ordinances, and not to meet in them with the King of Saints?
A53721was he bound to desert his own Institution and Appointment, because through our own default it ceased to be profitable unto us?
A53721was that her true Condition whereof she was so perswaded, as to profess it unto all?
A53721what are we before the Eternal God?
A53721what course doth he take?
A53721what did Sion get when she cried, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my God hath forgotten me?
A53721what end or issue was put to them?
A53721what is his life?
A53721what is his strength?
A53721what was the fainting which he had been overtaken withall without the supportment mentioned?
A53721who can conceive the beauty, order, use and course of them?
A53721who knows not how ruinous and pernitious to the soul such courses would be?
A53721who shall say unto him, what dost thou?
A53721why go I mourning because of the oppression of mine enemy?
A53721why he must unto God for pardon; but what shall he rely upon to encourage him in his so doing?
A53721why is it urged with so much earnestness?
A53721why lye you upon your faces?
A53721will not his terrour make us afraid?
A53721will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Ramms, or with ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A53721will you yet neglect his offers?
A53721will your latter end be peace?
A53721would not the Institution of Repentance be a lye?
A53721〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 poor, miserable, frail, mortal man, as the word signifies; what is man?

A30574( But now Habakkuk, why would you trouble your self with so much fear?)
A30574( or, for us?)
A30574* Chrysostom hath another expression: A Covetous man( saith he) is not delighted with the beauty of Heaven, nor with the motion of the Sun: why?
A305741, 2. there you shall find an Altar of Shittim wood overlaid with Brass; you will say, Why was the first with earth and the other with brass?
A305741. you have a remarkable Scripture for this, saith the text there, And the Anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel: and what then?
A3057411. where did they find Manasses?
A3057414. there you reade, that the Lord is so eager to have the first things?
A3057414. when the people did offer so much to God for the building of his Tabernacle, Mark how David was affected with it, Who am I( saith David?)
A305742. saith David, I will behave my self wisely in a perfect way; O when wilt thou come unto me?
A3057420 God will put a hook in his nostrils; now who would be afraid of a beast that hath a hook put into his nostrils?
A305743. we have a Scripture paralel to this, What will you do in the day of visitation?
A3057438. saith Zebul, Where now is thy mouth wherewith thou saidest, Who is Abimelech?
A3057447. saith Christ there, If ye beleeve not Moses writings, how can ye beleeve my words?
A305745. Who hath sent out the wild Ass free?
A305746 When men bless themselves in their own thoughts, they should consider what are Gods thoughts?
A305747 If it be sad that false worship is neglected, how sad is it that true worship is?
A30574A generous spirit will labor for the posterity that is to come; If none should plow, how would there be Corn to tread out?
A30574A wild Ass used to the wilderness that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away?
A30574Again: What shall a King do to us?
A30574And again thirdly, What shall a King do for us?
A30574And again, What horrible wickedness are some guilty of?
A30574And by by being dried up, what are they but prepared for the fire?
A30574And hast thou a temptation to leave off seeking God?
A30574And hath it not been so with our Adversaries?
A30574And here is an evident demonstration that your selvishness will make you empty for God; how many are there that complain of emptiness?
A30574And indeed we have begun of late to corrupt the Worship of God, and were carried on by wicked devilish carnal policy, How did we sow the wind?
A30574And indeed, what good had their Kings done for them?
A30574And is not this better than to cry to mountains to fall upon thee, and hills to cover thee?
A30574And is there not as great an evil to seek the love of the wicked and ungodly and help from them that hate the the Lord?
A30574And so a gracious heart may be assured of this, Hast thou sought the Lord in the truth of thy heart?
A30574And then a further Note is this, That the Judgments of God neer to us should awaken us; we should think, Why may it not be upon our selves?
A30574And then lastly, Seek the Lord till he comes; why?
A30574And was not this to know me, saith the Lord?
A30574And what fruit indeed is there brought forth to God in the world but by his Churches?
A30574And what is the cause of emptiness, but the emptying out our strength and spirits to our lusts and the world?

A30574And what will you do in the day of Visitation, and the Dissolution which shall come from far?
A30574And what''s the reason that we have such a deal of ill blood among us?
A30574And wherein did they swear falsely?
A30574And whether it be better for a People to have no King, or to have no Protection from their King?
A30574And who, or what are you that you should have your ears free?
A30574And why is a foolish Son said to be the sorrow of the Mother?
A30574And yet he was a Divine, why did he not know before?
A30574And you must fear something; Were it not better that your fear were upon God, than any thing else?

A30574As if a woman had her breast to be launc''d or cut off, would not the tender Father take the Children out of the room in the mean time?
A30574As if he should say, Lord, what is this in respect of thee who art the great God?
A30574As since our Covenant hath been made; When was there ever greater divisions?
A30574Ask ye now among the Heathen, who hath heard such things?
A30574At this day, my Brethren, how do many mourn after their superstitious vanities, their superstitious customs that they were wo nt to have?
A30574Austin hath a notable expression for this, saith he, Such is every man as his love is, Doth a man love the earth?
A30574But Secondly, What was this burden?
A30574But are there not with you, even with you sins against the Lord your God?
A30574But do you say to us, What will we do in such a day?
A30574But how vile is it then for us to neglect the reading of this written Word?

A30574But note, let the Saints of God take this Note with them, Shall creature confidence take mens hearts off from Gods fear?
A30574But now the Papists will say, If ye beleeve not our words, how can ye beleeve their writings?
A30574But now the question is, what times doth this refer to?
A30574But now then, Is it so, that it is in the hearts of men to trust so much in their own way, because it is their own?
A30574But now, Wherein doth the false Prophets seem to be enveighed against?
A30574But other men in their straights, what shall they do for us?
A30574But saith God here, What a But comes after all this?
A30574But saith he further, They would have Righteousness, but what?
A30574But the People of God are never in such a distressed condition but they are able to say, What shall Men or Devils be able to do against us?
A30574But thirdly, When was this fulfilled?
A30574But were they ever carried into Egypt, was this threat ever fulfilled?
A30574But what are you, you are sowr in the tast of God, what delight can God take in your unsavory and rotten corrupted spirits?
A30574But what is it?
A30574But what was their reason here( you will say) Why is it a sin to build Temples?

A30574But why doth the Prophet bring it in here?
A30574But why is it called the Calf of Samaria?
A30574But why the bread of mourners unclean?

A30574But you will say, what is the reason?
A30574But( you will say) Is all mourning forbidden?
A30574By the way this meditation may be raised here: What, shal the addition of many such weak things as vapors are come, to such a mighty strength?
A30574C Calf The Calf of Samaria why it was so called 25 Caution, see Kings Canaan Canaan was the Lords Land in an especial manner, and why?
A30574Calvin puts this Question, Why doth he not say, it springs up in the field, but in the furrows of the field?

A30574Did I ever command it saith God?
A30574Did not my words take hold upon your fathers?
A30574Did not thy Father do Judgment and Justice, and then it was well with him?

A30574It may be you would have God come, but wherefore, to bring comfort to you?
A30574It was sin, Why?
A30574It were no great matter though if other people had gotten the victory they should triumph, why not?
A30574It''s a very strange Scripture, I know not the like in all the Book of God, God threatens to smite this people, and how?

A30574Lyes here what?
A30574Many people do nothing all their lives time but sow the wind, they labor and toil, but what comes of it?
A30574Mark, here you have these two points together, The Church aggravates her sin, I have grievously rebelled; and what then?
A30574Men can rejoyce in the time of their prosperity, but in times of afflictions then they fear?
A30574Men of the world think them to be fools, and why will you be content to suffer so much, lose all your friends?
A30574Nay, it''s not enough to say, That we can not say it is forbidden, But where is it written?
A30574Nay, what doth he not do against us continually?
A30574No Nation would change their gods whom they had chose, only Gods People they were peculiar in this to make change of their God: Why?
A30574No man need say, Shall I go to the u ● ● ● rmost parts of the earth?
A30574No question he thought it no great matter to go into the Temple and offer sacrifice, Is it not as good that a King offer it as a Priest?
A30574No, but it is a destruction from the Almighty, and therefore what can you do?
A30574Now compare that with a winters dark dismal night; What makes the difference between these two?
A30574Now they shall say, We have no King& c. When did they say so?
A30574Now what a miserable thing had it been if they had come back and lost all their Voyage?
A30574Now what was that Counsel?
A30574Now what would we but charge God with this, even that which makes men to be most vile?
A30574Of late our Kingdom, how desperatly was it departing from God, and setting its self against all the power of godliness?
A30574Oh how great a shame is it to do so much for Images, dead Images,& to do so little for the Images of God?
A30574Oh so, Shall we leave our fruitfulness upon any earthly advantage in the world?
A30574Oh the difference between a Saint of God and a wicked man in times of affliction?
A30574Oh then, what''s the strength of the infinite God unto which nothing can be added?

A30575And if ever you have need of God again, how will conscience be stop''d?
A30575And is it so?
A30575And it may be for a time you seem to have some patience; But hath Patience had her perfect work in you?
A30575And my brethren, this is not meant meerly of the times of the Law; for this anger of God upon them is to this very day?
A30575And shewed you how that all those that had to deal with men to draw them to God should do as God doth, labor to draw them with Bonds of Love?
A30575And sixtly, Doth the love of God to his people begin so soon?
A30575And so we were going to most vile and abominable Idolatry, but by what steps?
A30575And then Secondly, How will the shame and confusion of men be aggravated hereafter, which did disregard Gods using of them in an honorable way?
A30575And then Thirdly, Is this Gods way?
A30575And then secondly, But would you know whether God would love you?
A30575And therefore they translate it so, How shall I protect thee?
A30575And this is the reason that your Goal- birds never com to any good almost; Why?
A30575And this waiting is of very great use to those that are turning to God, Consider of it, Is any of you about the work of turning to God?
A30575And thus much for those words, How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
A30575And why may not the Lord that hath brought us out of Egypt, bring us to rejoyce as in the feast of Tabernacles?
A30575And why?
A30575And yet can not thy heart be overturned, nor tremble?
A30575And you can not better your self: Whither wilt thou go, poor soul?
A30575And you that would fain have more and more, have you digested what you have had?
A30575And you who were so poor in the wilderness, depending on me for every bit of bread; yet after when you were fed, how proud and wanton grew you?
A30575Are not they thy People?
A30575Are not you grown flat, dead, and drossie, and carnal now more than before?
A30575Are they not those that I have had sweet converse with, and experience of their godliness?
A30575Art thou come to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
A30575As here in a Kingdom, so in an Estate, Hast thou a little Estate, yea, but hast thou it with God?
A30575As if he should have said, what a case had you been in, if I had not delivered you out of Egypt, from the Iron furnace, a low, base imployment?
A30575As if he should say, I am the same God that ever I was, but where is your King that should save you in your Cities?
A30575As if he should say, Lord, how will thy promise be fulfill''d?
A30575Asked them, Where''s all your Bravery, and Pride, and Rage?
A30575At that time when Forces were raised( before the Parliament) against our Brethren of Scotland, then said the Lord, How shall I give thee up?
A30575Baal- zephon what?
A30575But I rather take it thus; Who shall find iniquity in me that were any great matter?
A30575But can we say, that according to our green Pastures that God leads us in, so are we filled?
A30575But how did he prevail?
A30575But how doth the Prophet make use of this Title of God, The Lord of Hosts?
A30575But how in the midst, when they so vile, and cast off from being his people, a sink of Idolatry and wickedness?
A30575But how was this true?
A30575But if you make a stop there, I will be, your King; where is he that shall save you in your Cities?
A30575But it may be demanded: When are Kings and Princes given in anger?
A30575But it''s better if men before they have sinned would say, How shall I do it?
A30575But now, doth not this argue God to be a God of ridgedness and severity?
A30575But then Secondly, Why is Jacob mentioned in this place?
A30575But they might say, Do not we turn to God?
A30575But to another it''s nothing, What, Shall the Ministry of the Word countervail the loss of my estate?
A30575But what''s the meaning of this,( you will say?)
A30575But when was this?
A30575But where are they, saith God?
A30575But will he be such a Savior to me, in my condition?
A30575But you should consider what though such and such opinions and waies will serve my turn, will they not be burdens to others?
A30575But you wil ask me, What''s the reason that nothing would satisfie them but a King and Nobles?
A30575But you wil say, Why doth God express himself thus?
A30575But you will say, He can love, I but, Will He love?
A30575But you will say, They are so wicked that how can I hope to have love from them?
A30575But, how shall I make thee as Admah and Zeboim?
A30575By way of Interogation some reade it thus, What shall I the Lord that brought thee out of the Land of Egypt make thee to dwell in Tabernacles?
A30575Can any God work for you so as I have done?
A30575Can you mend your self any way?
A30575Can you stand it out with God?
A30575Canst thou say, Oh Righteous Father?
A30575Convert A true Convert, what?
A30575Covetousness it is a beforting sin, it is a blinding sin; Who shall find any iniquity in me?
A30575Cur Domine eū ficisti Imperatorum?
A30575Dangerous A dangerous sign of Reprobation 544 Deceiptful dealers Deceiptful dealers, see Excuses Decree Decree, what it is?
A30575Did he not name wild beasts enough before?
A30575Did not God approve of it?
A30575Did not God fight for them before?
A30575Did not God gain upon your hearts in a gentle way?
A30575Did not all say, even at the first year when the Wars began, Surely things would be very scarce?
A30575Did not that terrifie him?
A30575Do not we see how fast we run towards destruction, being but a little left to our selves, what a perverse spirit is there now among our selves?
A30575Do ye provoke the Lord to jealousie?
A30575Do you expect that Gods heart should work strongly towards you to do you good, and yet nothing stir in you?
A30575Do your souls worship God, and sanctifie the Name of God in all your waies?
A30575Doest thou profess any interest in God?
A30575Doest thou think that another mans evil may be an excuse to thy evil?
A30575Doth God at any time melt thy heart, and make thee apprehensive of thy need of mercy?
A30575Doth God call you, and you not answer to him?
A30575Doth God put a difference between Reprobates and his People in punishment?
A30575Doth a Fountain send forth, at the same place, sweet water, and bitter?
A30575Doth it become the Captain of our salvation in his seeking of God to weep?
A30575Doth not Judah do so aswel as we?
A30575Doth thy conscience tell thee that there hath been a time wherein God hath been displeased with thee, the anger of God hath burst out against thee?
A30575Everie fool may do mischief to himself, yea, and to others, but can he help?
A30575Examin I beseech you, when you were low any of you, say, had you not more of Gods presence with you then, than you have now?
A30575Excellency Excellency of the Name JEHOVAH 293 Excellency of Gods saving 449 Exalted We should not be exalted by prosperity, and why?
A30575First, How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
A30575First, How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
A30575For First, What low and mean things are they?
A30575For my love, they are my adversaries( but what then?)
A30575For so it is, Where is your King that should save you in your Cities?
A30575For the Answer: That which before was said, will give sufficient answer to it, How shall I make thee as Admah, and Zeboim?
A30575Fourthly, How shall I s ● t thee as Zeboim?
A30575Fourthly, Now I come to enjoy abundance, What''s the rule that God hath set in the Word for the ordering of my heart in what I do enjoy?
A30575Further, I have abundance; but what uncertainty is there in all these things?
A30575God doth seem as it were to be at a stand, How shall I do to save these sinners, and yet not to wrong my self?
A30575God gives me abundance of the creature, but what is Gods end?
A30575God knows that many times it was ready to sink, and if I had left off, what had become of me?
A30575God made his glory pass by him, and what was it?
A30575God might without any more ado pardon, and help, or deliver, why should he express himself in this manner?
A30575God, what God?
A30575Gods mercy is his own; If God wil destroy Admah and Zeboim eternally; who can say against Gods dealings with them?
A30575Had not God blessed the endeavors of a Prophet for good unto your forefathers, where had you been at this day?
A30575Have I conceived all this people?
A30575Have not some of you heard such language many times in this Kingdom?
A30575Have not you found it thus many times in your selves?
A30575Have not you found this fruit of the Ministry of the Word in your hearts, calling you many a time to the most high God?
A30575Have you to deal with stony hearts?
A30575He lets them have them, but how?
A30575He tells also of the Bishop of Thebais, being proud because advanced: Had these words spoken to him: Wherefore miserable man art thou proud?
A30575He went on frowardly when I smote him; what then?
A30575Hence let us learn what to do when any temptation comes to any sin: What, is it thus with God?
A30575Here we have in your books four[ How''s] How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?

A30575How we may know when God takes away and not in wrath?
A30575How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman?
A30575How?
A30575How?
A30575I am infinitly above man: Wherein O Lord art thou above them?
A30575I am that I am, or, I will be what I will be; so saith God here, I am Lord, I will be; but then where is your King?
A30575I am yet what ever I seemed to be to you, why are you so perverse and untoward towards me?
A30575I can not beat it whoever provokes me, why should I think that the infinite God should bear with me when I provoke him?
A30575I confess in the Hebrew there are but two, but yet for the sense of it the Interpreters put in the other, and they have the sense of four, How?
A30575I have it now, but how quickly may it be gone?
A30575I have loved you, saith the Lord; yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us?
A30575I have much, Oh but considering how little service I do for God, may not I fear that this I have it is to be my portion?
A30575I have much, but have I not much engagements with what I do enjoy?
A30575I may vent my self, but what good may come of it?
A30575I say, this confounding[ Where] will be asked to every wicked and ungodly man: What will they be able to say then?
A30575I see infirmities in them, I, but notwithstanding my great sins, God saith of me, How shall I give thee up?
A30575I shall have the glory of my Justice; I, but it will be but passively: And will that be much, to have the glory of Justice in a passive way?
A30575I will be thy King: Where is any other that may save thee in all thy Cities?
A30575If I buy a commodity and sell it again, what oppression can there be?

A30575If a man were to go and chuse a Wife, if he knew her face were painted, would he conclude, Surely here''s one of an excellent complexion?
A30575If indeed Israel could have said thus, You indeed complain of our false worship, Who doth otherwise?
A30575If the Ox be but fed, he knows his Owner: Who is it that feeds you?
A30575If we enquire what that way is?

A30575Is this the merciful God?
A30575Is this the same God that spake so of Ephraim heretofore?
A30575It follows; How shall I make thee as Admah, and set thee as Zeboim?
A30575It is a vain conceit of people to think thus, God loves me, why?
A30575It is my child, though stuborn, why may it not return?
A30575It is your foolish, wilful stubornness, going on in such a vile, finful way that puts God to such a stand; What shall I do?
A30575It may be in a way of aggravation of their sin and stubbornness, Why doest not thou come in to me?
A30575It may be there is som of you that are very just, yea, but what worship of God is there in your Families, and in your own hearts?
A30575It were well my brethren, if men after they have sinned would say, Oh, what have I done?
A30575It''s true, we have suffered something, yea, but hath not God wrought good out of our sufferings?
A30575Joshuah he was of the Tribe of Ephraim, and when Joshua spake, what trembling was there among all the people?

A30575Mark, all the Nations that are about you shall say, What Nation is there so wise, that hath Statutes and Judgments like this Nation?

A30575My Brethren, What are we but almost like Egypt this day?
A30575My brethren, let us search our hearts; there was a great forwardness of Reformation in the beginning of the Parliament, then how did men stir?
A30575Now my brethren, all this I have done to that end, that your hearts may be gained unto God; And what wilt thou do now?
A30575Now what a difference is there in the hearts of men in these daies?
A30575Now what abundance hath God wrought by deferring what we would have had?
A30575Now when Christ ascended up to be crowned on high, What was the great thing that he gave in the world?
A30575Now you are seeking God, you have not what you would have, Whither will you go?
A30575Now you will say, What doth the holy Ghost mean here?
A30575O thou Sword of the Lord, How long will it be ere thou be quiet?
A30575Oh but you will say, Why do you speak thus?
A30575Or as some others reade it, What shall I do to thee?
A30575Or if you take it as it is in your books, How shall I give thee up?
A30575Or it may be people would speak thus to the Prophet, Oh why do you speak of God in this terrible manner?
A30575Parents are charged not so much as to provoke their Children to wrath; And wilt thou provoke God then?
A30575Prisoners that are chained at a Post, they are altogether all the day long: But would you have such a kind of union, to be united with such chains?

A30575Secondly, How shall I deliver thee, Israel?
A30575Secondly, What do I think God aims at?
A30575Shall I account them pure with the wicked ballances, and with the bag of deceiptful weights?
A30575Shall I yet continue my wonted love to you as to make you to keep your Feast of Tabernacles still with joy as you were wo nt to do yeerly?
A30575Shall it not wither when the East wind toucheth it?
A30575Shall it not wither when the East wind toucheth it?
A30575Should a wise man utter vain knowledg, and fill his belly with the East wind?
A30575Since you know God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye to the weak and beggerly elements of the world?
A30575Sixthly, God gives me abundance of the Creature: but what is it that makes the difference between me and others?
A30575So Carnal hearts look only at Flowers; but gracious hearts look at the Root: I have such and such a thing, but have I an evidence of Gods love?

A30575So wert not thou of such a Familie?
A30575So, doth God bring into great straights?
A30575So, shall we leave our Oyl?
A30575Spake, what?
A30575Still mark how God urges this, when you come to fast; Is this the Fast that I require, to do thus and thus?
A30575Strength: What strength, you will say?
A30575Suppose we go on in the waies of death and perish, what shal God lose by it?
A30575THEY were readie to say, Why do you thus blame us for our eager desire?
A30575The Angels they excel in strength, the most excellent Creatures, and what, do they slight and disregard the Word of God?
A30575The Greek thus, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A30575The Lyon hath roared, who will not tremble?
A30575The Notes from the words are these: First, Those things that carnal hearts rest upon will vanish; Where are they, saith God, what''s become of them?
A30575The Septuagint they turn the words, How shall I protect thee?
A30575The old man forgetful of his yeers pursueth him flying, and crieth: My son, why fliest thou from me thy father, unarmed and old?
A30575The ten Tribes might say, Doth God threaten us?
A30575Then God is Love himself, he is the Element of Love; And whither should love go but up to the Element?
A30575Then when any temptation comes to us to sin against God, Oh let us say, How shall I do this, and sin against God?
A30575There is a time to love; when is the time?
A30575There was a time that conscience was against it; how came you to get leave of your conscience?
A30575There was none exalted him, but they followed their own Counsels and did what they list, yet, how shall I give thee up?
A30575There''s such Religious men speak thus, and others that we account as Religious as they speak quite contrary; Is there any Religion in the world?
A30575Therefore I will do a mervailous work among the People, even a mervailous work and a wonder;( What''s the mervailous work, what''s the wonder?)
A30575Therfore, O you Saints of God, never be afraid of evil men, for ere long it will be demanded of them, where their Pomp, and Glory, and Pride is?

A30575Thirdly, I come now to fit my self with these contentments, but what opportunities have I by these to do good more than before?
A30575This is that the Lord threatens here; and why?
A30575This seems plainly to be even the scope of this Charge, Is there iniquity in Gilead?
A30575Thou hast( saith the text) defiled thy Sanctuaries( how?)
A30575Thou, even thou art to be feared; and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
A30575Though Ephraim the yonger, yet when he got Authority in his hand, how imperious was he?
A30575Though the affliction doth continue a great while, Will you patiently hold out to long- suffering, and that with joyfulness?
A30575Thus saith the Lord, Shall they fall, and not arise?
A30575True, I think such and such they are in the wrong, but what good will come of it if I do thus and thus?
A30575Truly, I do not know a greater temptation to Atheism at this day than this is, for what will men think?

A30575Was this story to be a means to humble the people for their sins?
A30575We can easily destroy our selves, but can we save our selves?
A30575We reade of bands of Love, but what''s become of them?
A30575We say sometimes of the Prelates, Oh the hand of God is against them; how they brought themselves into a snare?
A30575We say to a child, Your father calls you, or to a servant, your master calls you, will you not answer?
A30575Wel, here was Gods Word, But how was Gods Work?
A30575Well, but though they be burdens, if they be truths, why should they not be urged?
A30575Well, but wherein did God manifest that he did love Israel when he was a Child?
A30575Well, do you bring a reproach upon God, upon his Name, upon Profession, upon his Saints?
A30575Well, he prevail''d, but what''s this to this people of Israel?

A30575When we have workings this way and that way; which is the most benign side?

A30575Where did they say so?

A30575Why doth he mention Admah and Zeboim, and not Sodom and Gomorah?
A30575Why is it that God should say so?
A30575Why like these two, rather than Sarah?
A30575Why should any great afflictions for God hinder your hearts working twards him?
A30575Why, Can God be deceived?
A30575Why, If God be the most high God, how can he be exalted?
A30575Why, is not God ready at any time to execute judgment upon a sinner?
A30575Why?
A30575Why?
A30575Why?
A30575Will it not be bitterness in the end?
A30575Wilt not thou now love the Lord thy God?
A30575Wilt thou see thine eyes upon that which is not?
A30575Wilt thou, a poor worm, stand out against this God?
A30575Would it have been a comfort to them to have known it?
A30575Would it not have been a comfort to them, if they had known that God intended to make them conformable to his Son?
A30575Would you ever have thought to have liv''d to the time to have seen such a change in their spirits as at this day?
A30575Yea but now, did not you behaue your selves proudly and stubbornly, and so make your service so much the more hard, by provoking your Governors?
A30575Yea, But whether he will help or no?
A30575Yea, Lastly, Why may not Mercy yet work upon their hearts?
A30575Yea, but friend, how do you get leave of your conscience to do it?
A30575Yea, but was not he in some way of sin?
A30575Yes, every way, the Jew hath much advantage every way above al other people of the earth: Why, wherein?
A30575You have had( indeed) deliverances, and so have they, And are you not unto me as the children of the Ethiopians?
A30575You have wept and cried, saying, Who shal give us flesh?
A30575You wil go and seek to shift for your selves by false waies, and forsake me, A ● ● not I the Lord?
A30575You will say, Can the Creature bring a reproach upon God?
A30575You will say, How can that be?
A30575You will say, Thank your selves, who will pity you?
A30575You will say, 〈 … 〉 n comes in between Decree and Damnation: But how comes sin in?
A30575a wonder that there should be iniquity; what,''t is the City of the Priest?
A30575am I in great distress?
A30575am I not in the way that thou hast set me?
A30575an Interogation; it is, as if he should say: First, Who dare say, there is iniquity in Gilead?
A30575and I hope men may make the best of what they have?
A30575and are you strengthened according to the glorious power of God, unto all patience?
A30575and did not the Man of God tell us that this was from the Lord?
A30575and didest not thou promise to shew me thy glory?
A30575and do not you begin to be exalted in your own hearts?
A30575and doest thou love me?
A30575and is it to all long- suffering?
A30575and may not I do wel enough without it?
A30575and set thee as Zeboim?
A30575and shall not the Love of God and the fruits of that be a stronger Bond to tie thy heart unto him?
A30575and such cruel bloudy Wars, and so overspreading the Kingdom as they have, and that yet we should at this day have provision so plentiful as we have?
A30575and the Chaldae Paraphrase, Where is your King that should save you in all your Cities?
A30575and the Heir of Heaven and Earth?
A30575and therefore why should you so much upbraid us about our Kings?
A30575and was it not the Lord long- suffering and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression& c?
A30575and what need it?
A30575and what was that to us?
A30575and where are these men?
A30575and why should not we be rul''d and govern''d by them?
A30575and will you forget him?
A30575and without this there will come a great deal of stir, and can any man in Reason but think that this is good?
A30575and yet thou seest how God hath cast off a great part of that Familie, and yet hath he loved thee?
A30575are there not evils among Judah as well as us?
A30575are they not in Covenant with thee?
A30575are they not in relation to thee?
A30575are we dead dogs that we should do such things?
A30575are we of the seed of Iacob now?
A30575are we only the sinful people?

A30575but then what do you think it is to be the son to the King of Heaven and Earth?

A30575can you take your advantage?
A30575did Jacob worship an Idol in Bethel?
A30575did men but do so, say, How shall I do this?

A30575did not God say, he would do me good in this journy?
A30575did not you know God more then?
A30575didest thou not say that my seed should be as the sand of the Sea?

A30575doest thou think that God is thy God?
A30575doth God say when we are in danger of being destroyed, how shall I do this?
A30575doth not God oppose me in it?
A30575doth thy heart begin to bleed towards thy Brethen?
A30575had not you more sweet communion in those times than now you have?
A30575hast not thou the Angels that are with thee to enjoy thy Glory, to have communion with thee?
A30575hast thou any hope that God should be merciful to thy soul, to do thee any good?
A30575hast thou left the earth as unworthy of thy beauty and glory?

A30575hath God no further end than this?
A30575hath not God declar''d it by his severe wrath upon Gilead?
A30575hath not he judged you, and been faithful with you?
A30575hath there been a day of atonement between God and thy soul?

A30575have you none of your friends so?
A30575he tells them that their Father Iacob take his brother by the heel?
A30575how careless is my spirit, and slight and vain?
A30575how comes it to pass there is no more Oyl then?
A30575how comes this?
A30575how could it do it?
A30575how do they discover their pride now they are got up?
A30575how do we depend upon God for our lives and souls?
A30575how doth the anger of men gore deep; why?
A30575how if things shall prove otherwise than they are apprehended by me?
A30575how is it possible for me to find in my heart to yeeld to do it?
A30575how long wil we go about?
A30575how negligent have I been?
A30575how often hath God found us in this way?
A30575how often have we been at a stand in our way since God hath been pleased to call us out of Egypt?
A30575how often have we fallen in our way, and gone astray?
A30575how often may many of you say, that the Lord hath come unexpectedly to you in waies of mercy?
A30575how often would we run into harms way( as we use to say) if God did not lead us?
A30575how ordinarie is it for us in our prosperitie to forget Gods mercies in delivering of us, from Affliction?
A30575how quite contrary to the Word?
A30575how shal I do this?
A30575how shall I deliver thee Israel?
A30575how shall I deliver thee up, Israel?
A30575how shall I deliver thee, Israel?
A30575how shall I disinherit it?

A30575how shall I make thee as Admah?
A30575how shall I make them as other people, as Germany, and other people?
A30575how shall I set thee as Zeboim?
A30575how sweet is it then to be freed from spiritual bondage, and to have the food of life laid before us?
A30575how unworthy am ● of these comforts I have?
A30575if we could not get it when we had so much strength, is it like to be done now we have so little strength?
A30575in the 8 verse, What Nation is there so great, that hath Statutes and Judgments so righteous, as all this Law which I set before you this day?
A30575in what way did he put forth this his strength?
A30575is he a home born Slave?
A30575is he a home- born Slave?
A30575is it not from God?
A30575is it not the Lord?
A30575is it only to satisfie my flesh?
A30575is my heart fit for such a mercy as this?
A30575is not this the opinion of our Ministers?
A30575is the day come for him now to have his rage upon me?
A30575is there iniquity among them?
A30575is there iniquity there?
A30575is this that God that is love and mercie it self thus to appear?
A30575it is a sad thing to be a self- destroyer, for what pity can there be?
A30575it''s a great deal better than to have a great Estate?
A30575know then, it is not unbecoming any man or woman: Are you of the seed of Jacob?
A30575lay this to heart thou convicted sinner, what offers of mercie hath God made to thee?
A30575let''s consider thus; I find no satisfaction in this, yea, but is it not because I forsake the Lord God, in whom there is all satisfaction?
A30575like men shall we say?
A30575must they now suffer, and shal I ad to their afflictions?
A30575my brethren, shall it be so with us?
A30575now if the mother and children be cut off, what will become of thy Promise?
A30575perhaps thou art in a better condition now than thou wast before; Oh but tell me, hast thou humbled thy soul before God to make up thp peace with him?
A30575saith God, Where''s your King that should save you in your Cities?
A30575shal not al this love of God to thee in Christ constrain thee?
A30575shall I do thus saith God?
A30575shall I go over my work again?
A30575shall he turn away, and not return?
A30575shall my hand be used to lay the yoke on them& to press it hard?
A30575shall not Gods Cords be as strong as the Devils Cords, or Mans Cords?
A30575shall not I rather serve the designs of the enemies with such sharpness and bitterness?
A30575shall out of the same Fountain come forth sweet water, and bitter?
A30575shall we come with ten thousand Rams, and Rivers of Oyl?
A30575shall we not regard what our Ministers do?
A30575speaketh of one in the time of Phocas, pleading with God and saying, Wherefore Lord hast thou made Phocas Emperor?
A30575that fulness that I have, doth it not more fully engage me unto God than others?
A30575that is, I who am a holy and infinite God, how shall I protect such a one as thou art?
A30575that is, The suppleness, the gentleness, the tenderness of our spirits, shall we lose these, that we may prevail over our Brethren?
A30575that some soul might return, and might refuse no longer to return; Why wilt not thou return?
A30575that''s no argument with God; I have destroyed such and such, and why may not I destroy thee?
A30575the Lord deliver us from this great evil, shall I say, Deliver us?
A30575the seed of Iacob should never think their condition to be so sad, but there may be recovery; Is it a great affliction that is upon me?
A30575then we have sinned; and when they were under oppression, then Hosea could speak freelie and plainlie to them, Where is your King?
A30575then, what will become of thee who art a wicked and vile wretch and hast no good at all?
A30575there''s such and such things that indeed would be sutable to me, but is my heart fit for such a deliverance?
A30575they cared not for that; let us have a King, let become of Samuel what wil come, and of his house, what care they?
A30575thou hast deserved eternal flames, and wilt thou grudg at God for waiting a few years?
A30575thou weak man, thou vain man, why wilt thou deceive thy soul with this?
A30575though a Son very vile, very sinful, yet there is a how shall I give thee up?
A30575to apply it spiritually, that we might have our wils over our brethren, shall we part with our Oyl?
A30575to have the same Love that the Father loves Christ withal, Is not this a strong Bond to bind thy heart to God?
A30575to what purpose is this to the ten Tribes, that Iacob took his brother by the heel?
A30575treasure up this Scripture, it will be worth a world to you, For the Devil wil mightily strengthen himself with this, What, are not you a cast- away?
A30575ubi est Rex tuus?
A30575was it not through the violence of your spirits?
A30575was not Jacob our Father?
A30575were it not better for me to return?
A30575were there such horrid Opinions before when we had power?
A30575what did he aim at?
A30575what do I do but that I may?
A30575what do men look after?
A30575what exercise of Grace?
A30575what glory to God?
A30575what good have I gotten by reading, and praying?
A30575what good have you got?
A30575what good to the Church?
A30575what good will it do to me to cozen my own soul?
A30575what good would this do to the People, that Hosea was prophesying to?

A30575what may come of it?
A30575what mighty power and authority had he?
A30575what profit shal it be though thou hast gained the whol world and shalt lose thy own soul?
A30575what shall I do?
A30575what shall you get by it?
A30575what troubles have I brought my father into?
A30575what were the sins of my afflicted, my low condition?
A30575what were those sins of mine when I was here before in my house, and enjoyed fulness?
A30575what will become of me now?
A30575what work of Grace more than before?
A30575what, are you wiser than all our Priests?
A30575what, canst thou find in any waies like Gods waies?
A30575when the Lord hears these prayers of Mercy on the other hand, How shall I do it?
A30575when these two can be added, what is wa 〈 … 〉 g to the comfort of ones life?
A30575when this shall be ask''d them, Where''s your bravery, and pride and stoutness of your hearts?
A30575when we have workings in our own thoughts as bitter as gall, if before we vent them, we would but put this to our selves, how shall I do this?
A30575where is your King that should save you in your Citie, and your judges, of whom you said, Give us a King and Princes?
A30575where''s your Prayers and Fastings?
A30575whither art thou gone?
A30575whither art thou gone?
A30575who amongst us shall dwel with everlasting burnings?
A30575who art thou that canst stand against the Voice of God when he speaks?
A30575who can abide the fierceness of his anger?
A30575who will charge Gilead of iniquity, where the Priests are?
A30575why doth the Prophet instance in this?
A30575why is he spoiled?
A30575why is he spoiled?
A30575why may not yet God work good upon it; It''s very evil, but how shall I give it up?
A30575why may there not be some hope?
A30575why now Lord manifest thy glory, now Lord shew thy self to be a glorious God, in doing what?
A30575why should any pleadings stop thee in the course of thy wrath?
A30575why should they be hindered and discouraged in their work?
A30575why should we upon every little discontent cast off all pity and love to our Brethren?
A30575why should ● ● thou backslide with a perpetual back- sliding?
A30575why then will you render God thus terrible?
A30575why was he threatned to be their King?
A30575why your King hath dedestroyed you, saith Tremelius?
A30575will any good come to the publick?
A30575will they not laugh and scorn at Religion?
A30575would it not be more for the honor of God if I did forbear?
A30575would not this mercie serve thy turn, such a mercie as this is?
A30575would they have done thus?
A30575yet this must be, Justice requires satisfaction, How can it be done without the Son of God being made a Curse for mans sin?
A30575you can do little for God, ● ea I find( perhaps saith one) much frowardness and stubborness in my heart against God; but do you bewail it?
A30575you have been waiting and seeking of God it may be this half year, or twelve months, What''s that I pray?
A30575you have it thus in your books, Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
A30575you that are Children, that have had Parents that were wrastlers with God, Are you wicked now?
A30575you that have had gracious Ancestors, think often of them, and when you are tempted to sin, think this, Is not this unworthy of my Ancestors?
A30575you would encourage one another and say, Come, we shall have a day yet, for we have this strength, and the King and Nobles for us: Where are they?

A35389( saith God) Is this a time for you to feast in, when my wrath is breaking forth amongst you?
A353891. Who she was?
A353891.10, 11,& c. where he speakes of those oblations and great services of the Jewes, I hate your solemne feasts, bring no more vaine oblations,& c. Why?
A353891.5: To which of the Angels said he at any time, thou art my sonne?
A3538912. when his estate was increased, what shall I doe, my barnes are not big enough?
A353893.20,& c. So that the damned shall for ever cry out, Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery?
A353894. would not enjoy her son,( and that is the chiefest joy) because the Arke of God was taken: She enquires, where is the glory?
A3538982. the wicked are put for the rich, How long will you iudge uniustly and accept the persons of the wicked?
A353899. affirmes, that no man can doe any one act purely pure, Who can bring a cleane thing out of that which is uncleane?
A35389A Parent indeed may provide riches for his children, but can he provide grace also?
A35389A cup of blood, a cup of trembling: And is this to be rejoyced in?
A35389A day of trouble, a day of humiliation?
A35389A friend who?
A35389A parent may put Money in their purses, but can he put holinesse in their hearts too, that it is said here, that Iob sent and sanctified them?
A35389According to this sense, when Satan saith doth Job feare God for nought?
A35389Adam where art thou?
A35389Againe, If it be a duty to mourne over the afflictions of others; how exceeding sinfull is it to rejoyce at the afflictions of others?
A35389Alas what have these sheepe done?
A35389Among all treasures, spirituall treasures are most hidden; they are so hidden, that they are called mysteries, or secrets?
A35389An evill spirit from the Lord, how was it an evill spirit if it were from the Lord?
A35389An eye of prophesie hath affected some hearts, and shall not an eye of sense affect ours?
A35389And had we( as these mercies did oblige us) fill''d up, or labour''d to fill up th''other part, the better part of Jobs character?
A35389And his wife said unto him, Doest thou still retain thine integritie?
A35389And it may be a Question whether we are to understand this of Jobs preheminence in the ganerall or in regard of some one particular grace?
A35389And shall we not receive evill?
A35389And so it is rendred out of the Septuagint, Hast thou attended with thy mind upon my servant Job?
A35389And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause?
A35389And surely( my brethren) if this be a character of the devill, and to be conformable unto Satan, how conspicuous is that conformity in this age?
A35389And that hee hath somewhat else to give, when he hath given a love unto, and a longing after his Truth?
A35389And the Lord said unto Satan, from whence commest thou?
A35389And the Lord said unto Sathan, hast thou not considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth?
A35389And the Lord said unto Sathan, whence commest thou?

A35389And what is strength then, but stronger paine, and an ability to beare a heavier burden of affliction?
A35389And what naked backe was not cloathed with his wooll?
A35389And what was the Sacrifice unto Job, or unto his sonnes?
A35389And what were his children to a wife?
A35389And where there is great righteousnesse and great peace, how great is the joy of that people?
A35389And why doth God chuse to worke thus?
A35389And why is it said, that they should have their lives for a prey?
A35389Another thing here questionable is, Whether it be lawfull to curse the creature?
A35389Are these the words of patience and sobriety?
A35389Are they not ministring spirits sent forth to minister for them who are the heires of salvation?
A35389Art not thou he( saith Ahab) that troublest Israel?
A35389Art thou for the present in a naked condition?
A35389Art thou poore?

A35389As if he should say, doe you not know why the Book of Iob was written?
A35389As if she should say, What?
A35389As many times when you are angry with your servants, you aske, where have you been?
A35389As soone as ever there vvas any feare of sinne, presently they had recourse to a sacrifice; and what was that?
A35389As soone as she saw him thus smitten, What( saith shee) doest thou still retaine thine integrity?
A35389As when some great man or strange shew passeth by, we goe out to see it; so God cometh down upon mount Moriah to see a sight: And what was it?

A35389But can Satan come into the presence of God?
A35389But could Job die when he listed, that she biddeth him curse God and die?
A35389But did Job open his mouth in this sense wisely and discreetly?
A35389But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh: what?
A35389But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh; what?
A35389But how can it be said that Satan should come among the sons of God?
A35389But how commeth it to passe that this one man escaped?
A35389But how could he prevaile upon the Sabeans, that they should come and doe his businesse now at this time?
A35389But how shall we make out this notion, that the vilest of men are here described?
A35389But how should we understand this of Job, that there was none like to him upon the earth?
A35389But if it be sinfull not to ease( when it is in our power) the sorrowes of others, how sinfull is it to adde to their sorrow?
A35389But is there any treasure in a curse?
A35389But is there no more in true repentance, but only this, that it is not to be repented of?
A35389But is this agreeable to the duty or character of a godly man, to say, he hath no rest, he is not quiet?
A35389But it may here be further inquired, If it were before the Law was given, who taught Job to offer Sacrifice?
A35389But it will be objected, Is there any man that sinneth not?
A35389But now here it will be questioned for the further opening of this, why Satan chooses thus to consume the sheepe with fire?
A35389But rather, by good here, we are to understand the good things of this life, shall we receive good?
A35389But what became of his three Daughters, did they escape?
A35389But what bottome or ground makes the desire of death lawfull?
A35389But what could Satan doe?
A35389But what day was this?
A35389But what did Satan upon this day?
A35389But what overcame him, and answered all his doubts about the undertaking of such a worke?
A35389But who doe thus?
A35389But who made this attempt?
A35389But who were these foolish women, at whom he aimes in this comparison?
A35389But why doth Job here charge this upon God, The Lord hath taken?
A35389But will the Lord, the wise God doe any thing without cause?
A35389But with what doth he pricke this bladder?
A35389But, what was this day that Job was so angry with it?
A35389Can I ever be in more need of an Almighty helpe, then when I was strugling to get into the world?
A35389Can I ever be in such straights as I was then, can I ever be in a more helplesse condition?
A35389Can a man curse persons or things?
A35389Can he force men to be his instruments, to execute his designes upon the people of God?
A35389Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt?
A35389Cattell the riches of the Patriarchs, and why?
A35389Come take a little counsell at the last, work like a wise man, wilt thou hold a thing thou canst get nothing by?
A35389Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord, Is wisedome no more in Teman?
A35389Could he find out no other time but this?
A35389Could the Lord finde out no swearers, no drunkards, no adulterers in the world to let Satan loose upon, but he must needs turne him loose upon me?
A35389Could the killing of a Beast take away sinne?
A35389Cursed be my day?
A35389Death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adams transgression; And who were those?
A35389Did he therefore actually preach three yeares, night and day without intermission?
A35389Didest thou ever meet with such an one in the world before?
A35389Doe you not observe you get nothing by your prayers?
A35389Doest thou persevere in those high thoughts of thy selfe?
A35389Doest thou still retain thine integritie?
A35389Doest thou still retain thine integritie?
A35389Doest thou still retain thine integritie?
A35389Doest thou still retaine thine integritie?
A35389Doest thou still retaine thine integrity?
A35389Doth God delight in the bloud of Bulls and Goats?
A35389Doth Job feare God for nought?
A35389Doth Job feare God without cause?
A35389Doth Job serve God for nought?
A35389Doth it become a godly man, to be alwayes solicitous about his estate, and doubting that troubles will come?
A35389Doth not this looke like the blasphemy that the devill hoped would come out of Jobs mouth?
A35389Elisha saith to him, whence commest thou?
A35389F FAce of God, what?
A35389First, He speaks here of his protection, hast thou not made an hedge about him?
A35389First, We may observe from the manner of this speech, Hast thou not made an hedge about him?
A35389For he complaines of that as the cause, which was not the cause of his troubles: what did the night or the day, that he thus chargeth them?
A35389For the person, It is said that Job offered these Sacrifices, Job rose early and offered ▪& c. Was not this to usurpe upon the Priests office?
A35389For, who can bring a cleane thing out of that, which is uncleane?
A35389Fourthly, If your lives are worth so much, then what is the Gospell worth?
A35389Further note this, what was the difference between those sons of God and this Satan?
A35389Ghost, giving up the ghost, what it imports?
A35389Gift, what it is?
A35389God blesses man, what?
A35389Had he no other Butt in the world to shoot the arrowes of his indignation at, but at an innocent breast?
A35389Had they beene about any unlawfull thing?
A35389Had they beene in any suspected place?
A35389Had they taken order what should become of their soules?
A35389Had we beene a People perfect and upright, fearing God and eschewing evill?
A35389Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?
A35389Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the Earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and escheweth evill?
A35389Hast thou considered my servant Job?
A35389Hast thou considered?
A35389Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee thou shouldest not eate?
A35389Hast thou not made an hedge about him and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?
A35389Hast thou not made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?
A35389Hast thou not taken notice of this in him?
A35389Hast thou seriously, fully and exactly considered my servant Job?
A35389Hath hee smitten him as he smit those that smote him?
A35389Have I found thee O my friend?
A35389Have Satans words and arguments such power with God to moove him to doe a thing?
A35389He doth not say, Is any man sick, let him pray?
A35389He doth not say, Thou wicked woman, thou abhominable wretch, why doest thou give me such counsell?
A35389He said unto Sathan whence comest thou?
A35389Hence it may be questioned, Whether it be lawfull for us to wish or to desire, that had not come to passe, which we see come to passe?
A35389Her scornfull exprobration in these words: Doest thou still retain thine integritie?
A35389Here are great men, what doe they?
A35389Here it may be questioned, How or why these Sabeans at such a time should fall upon the estate of Job?
A35389Here was a hedge, first about his Person, that was the inmost hedge, or the inmost wall, in these words, Hast thou not made an hedge about him?
A35389His going to and fro, what it imports?
A35389How could Iob sanctifie his sonnes or his daughters?
A35389How could Satan prevaile with these?
A35389How could they hold out to sit so long?
A35389How did the Lord give Job all his riches and estate?
A35389How did this vex and sting Satan?
A35389How doth the City sit solitary that was full of people?
A35389How great an affliction then is it, which makes a man of spirit cry out and roare?
A35389How is it then that Job saith, Let that night be darknesse, or Let darknesse seize upon it?
A35389How is it then that thou hast despised the Commandement of the Lord, to doe evill in his sight?
A35389How is it therefore here that Job shaved himselfe for the death of his children, and in regard of those great troubles that were upon him?
A35389How is she become as a widdow?
A35389How is this a description of wicked men?
A35389How it came to passe that she was spared, when all his outward comforts were removed?
A35389How long shall the wicked?
A35389How long shall they utter and speake hard things?
A35389How long?
A35389How many are there, whom death surprizes before they are aware, and seizeth upon them, when they thinke not of it?
A35389How many doth Satan provoke to turne stones into bread, when he commes to them in their hunger?
A35389How many should we see daily blasted with the breath of malicious execrations?
A35389How many thousands beare this marke of the devill, not only in their hands closely, but in their fore- heads openly?
A35389How much more will he make men and Angels to be wals and hedges for the security of his owne people?
A35389How much then doe our soules transcend our owne lives?
A35389How often are they made the bellowes of pride, the fewell of uncleanenesse, the instruments of revenge?
A35389How often doe husbands discover this folly?
A35389How often doe rich men contemne, dispise and oppresse their weake and poore bretheren?
A35389How often doe riches cause forgetfulnesse of God, yea kicking against God?
A35389How sadly and pissionatly did David lament Absoloms death?
A35389How shall we reconcile these two?
A35389How shall we understand this then concerning Job?
A35389How should this day perish?
A35389How sicke then are they who are hopelesse, or who have quite lost their hope?
A35389How so?
A35389How strangely is his visage changed, and his whole body disfigured?
A35389How then cometh it to passe, that when Satan would afflict Iob to the uttermost, he leaves him his wife?
A35389How then did God winke?
A35389How was that?
A35389How were their bodies abused and mangled?
A35389How would it augment our sorrowes, if we looking for these mercies should not have them?
A35389I desire to be dissolved, saith Paul, but why?
A35389I made a covenant with mine eyes, why then should I thinke upon a maide?
A35389I never heard any of them say, why is grace given to one that is in misery?
A35389I never heard any say, wherefore is faith given to a man that is in misery, or hope and patience to the bitter in soule?
A35389I said of laughter thou art mad, of all wordly laughter and outward mirth, what do''st thou?
A35389I was at rest, why diddest thou call me up to a land of trouble?
A35389If Christ wept for the evills that were to come on others, how should we weepe for the evills that are already come upon us?
A35389If I had not been borne dead saith Job, or died naturally assoone as I was borne, yet why was I not left to perish?
A35389If a man would give all for his life, what should he give for his Religion, to maintaine and uphold that in the purity and power of it?
A35389If any shall say, when did we speake against the Lord?
A35389If it be demanded why did Job rend his garments?
A35389If so, then how shall the soule beare an affliction, when God instead of making a way to escape, doth as it were make a hedge to stop all escape?
A35389If that which is light in us be turned into darknesse( as Christ speakes) how great is that darknesse?
A35389If the light that is in thee be darkenesse, how great is that darkenesse?
A35389If thou hast received it, why dost thou boast?
A35389If you are to esteeme your lives so, at what price will you set your soules?
A35389Iob did not severely and austerely forbid them and say, what doe you feasting and spending your time idly one with another?
A35389Iob gives an account or reason of his passion: If any should check him with, why doest thou thus breath out complaints against the day of thy birth?
A35389Is any man afflicted?
A35389Is any man sick?
A35389Is he pained by sicknesse in his body?
A35389Is it a strange thing that he should feede a few that hath 500 yoake of Oxen?
A35389Is it any curse to say, let wormewood be bitter, or to say, let leade be heavy?
A35389Is it any great matter, that he who hath received a flocke of seven thousand Sheepe from thee, should offer a few, 7. or 10. to thee in sacrifice?
A35389Is it justice in God that I who have lived so innocently should be thus extreamely afflicted?
A35389Is it not said, that he had a hedge about him, and such a hedge as the Devill could not breake thorough, to hurt him, and was not Job in safety then?
A35389Is it not time for us not only to write, but to act a Lamentation, and to say, For these things I weepe, mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water?
A35389Is it nothing to you that travell,( though but in meditation) into the Churches of Christ in Germanie?
A35389Is it unlawfull to have an eye to our owne advantage, while we doe our duty?
A35389Is not Job well hired to worke for thee?
A35389Is not sanctification the proper worke of the Spirit of God?
A35389Is not the Lord unchangeable?
A35389Is there any evill in the City, and the Lord hath not done it?
A35389Is thine eye evill, because mine is good?
A35389Is this Job?
A35389Is this a just God who uses his servants thus?
A35389Is this the wages that I shall receive for the worke and service I have done him?
A35389Is thy hand upon me in my own house, might Job say?
A35389It followes, Why died I not from the wombe?
A35389It is a day of trouble and perplexity, and will you now be feasting?
A35389It is a question moved by the Schoole- men, whether a blessing and a curse doe belong to any but a reasonable creature?
A35389It is a word in season, and therefore should as a word upon the Wheeles, making a speedy passage into all our hearts: And how should it not?
A35389It is as if one should say to a man come from this City into the Countrey, were you at Court, or have you seen the King?
A35389It is said God made this hedge, Hast thou not made an hedge about him?
A35389It is some abatement to the sense of misery, not to know that we are miserable; Wherefore is light given?
A35389It is usuall in Scripture thus to signifie the whole body?
A35389It may be questioned here, Why Satan( for that is implyed) desired so to destroy the life of Job?
A35389It may here be questioned, how Satan can be said to smite?
A35389It may here be questioned, why the sheepe were consumed with fire, rather than any other of his cattell, rather then any other of his substance?
A35389It should be the voyce of every soul, Lord what wilt thou have me to doe?
A35389It troubles a man to be found of that or him, whom he hates or feares, Hast thou found me O mine enemy?
A35389It was that which they had longed for, that which they had long sought for?
A35389It was to give to all the world, a testimony that Job was a through godly and holy man; that he was a man of extraordinary strength of grace; why?
A35389Job doth not only give his wife a Logicall reason, but a Rhetoricall reason, words with life, to convince her by; What?
A35389Job doubteth, and Job mourneth, and Job complaineth, Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery?
A35389Job here proposeth such as long for death; Is it lawfull to desire death?
A35389Job you see takes upon him to curse, First, it may be questioned whether a curse be in the power of man or no?
A35389Jonathan, if there be any iniquity in me, slay me thy selfe, for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
A35389Laban saith to Jacob when he was come to him, to serve him, Thou art my kinsman, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought?
A35389Lastly, For the better conceiving of the matter of this question proposed, whence commest thou?
A35389Lastly, There is a third hedge or wall, Hast thou not made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath?
A35389Lastly, Where had Iobs sonnes beene that he is thus suspitious?
A35389Light- haters, who?
A35389Lord thou doest enquire of me whether I had considered thy servant Job?
A35389Lord what wilt thou have me to do?
A35389Make no mourning for the dead, what followeth?
A35389Many pebble stones will make a heavy burden, how then is he burdened, who hath( if such a thing may be supposed) many mil- stones upon his back?
A35389Master who did sinne this man or his parents, that he was borne blind?
A35389May he not rather be an example of impatience?
A35389May not worship then be given to a creature?
A35389Mr. Broughton readeth it without the question,( Why is light given?)
A35389Must Satan needs shew his malice against the Father, when the children were shewing their love one to another?
A35389Must his teares be mingled with their wine?
A35389Must the childrens rejoycing day be the Fathers mourning day?
A35389Must we serve God for nought in that strict sense, or els will ● od account nothing of all our services?
A35389Nineveh is laid wast, who will be moane her?
A35389No?
A35389Now Job himselfe in his nature was uncleane, he had uncleannesse in him, how then was a cleane thing brought out from Job?
A35389Now if you will offer much to save your lives, will not you offer much more to save the Gospell?
A35389Observe it, he doth not call her foolish or wicked woman, but, thou speakest as one of the foolish women; As if he should say, How now wife?
A35389One thing further, When Job saith, Wherefore is light given, and life given?
A35389Onely, what Integrity we have, let us still hold it stedfastly, what evils are( and what evils almost are not?)
A35389Or as Ionah when God reproves him about his passion for the withered gourd, Doest thou well to be angry?
A35389Or did Job deliberate for a curse?
A35389Or hath he Sabeans and Caldeans, Nations and people at his beck, or under his command?
A35389Or if he be omniscient and omnipotent, why then did he not protect me from Satans rage?
A35389Or is there any man that sinneth not in every thing?
A35389Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soule?
A35389Or why was I not stifled in the wombe?
A35389Or, Hast thou not made a trench about him?
A35389Perfection out of imperfection?
A35389Perfection, or to be perfect, what?
A35389Righteousnesse delivereth from death, why, shall not righteous men die?
A35389Satan accuseth with a question, doth Job feare God for nought?
A35389Satan in questioning, speakes as if he were vext, Hast thou not made an hedge about him?
A35389Satan will not believe God, and God had no reason to believe Satan: How then should this be made out?
A35389Sathan whence commest thou?
A35389Secondly, It is interpreted by, without cause, Doth Job feare God without cause?
A35389Secondly, There is this in it; Doeth Job feare God for nought?
A35389Secondly, They rejoyce in it, but why?
A35389Seven rules given about feasting, p. 50,& c. Feastings anciently in the night, p. 364 Fire of God, why so called?
A35389Shadow of death, what?
A35389Shall I take my bread and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and send them to a fellow I know not who?
A35389Shall present evills make us either insensible of, or unthankfull for past mercies?
A35389Shall present troubles be as a grave wherein to bury the memory of all our former comforts?
A35389Shall we have glory in the eye of our faith, and shall we not endure a little trouble in the eye of our sence?
A35389Shall we receive good and not evill?
A35389Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evill?
A35389Shall we receive good?
A35389Shall we send to the Wolfe to save the Sheepe?
A35389Shall we thinke that David never sinned at all, but in that matter?
A35389Shall wee receive good at the hand of God, and not evill?
A35389Shaving the head, what it imports?
A35389Shew us some of your gaines, what have you got?
A35389Shiloh, why Christ was so called?
A35389Should not teares be our meat day and night( as they were Davids) while they say continually, Where is now your God?
A35389Should the Lord set his anger against irrationall creatures?
A35389Sicknesse, and death, and Hell are called evill; how much rather that, but for which these evills had never bin?
A35389So God here speakes to Satan upon his account of walking about the earth, hast thou taken notice of Job?
A35389So I may say to you, why seeke ye peace in a land of trouble, and joy in a land of sorrow?
A35389So here the Lord questions Satan, whence commest thou?
A35389So here we may take in this sense to fill up the forme, doth Job serve God gratis?
A35389So if a man suffer from men, he may goe unto God, but if God himselfe doe appeare to be an enemy and to fight against us, to whom shall we goe?
A35389So if that which should be our comfort be turned into our sorrow, how great is our sorrow?
A35389So it is word for word in the Originall, hast thou laid Job to thy heart?
A35389So much for the actions or gestures of Iob, what he did?
A35389So much for the clearing of the first part of Satans answer, Doth Job serve God for nought?
A35389So saith Iob here to any that should rebuke him, with, doe you well to be thus angry with your day?
A35389So the generall sense of the words, Doth Job feare God for nought?
A35389So then, take the sense thus, Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
A35389So we may say here, Satan sets forth the care of God over his people in most exact termes; And why doth he doe this?
A35389So when you see such men, Sabeans and Chaldeans falling upon the estate of Job, you may demand, Is not the hand of Satan in all this?
A35389So, Whence commest thou?
A35389Some interpret the good here to be meant, of the good of the next life; shall we be in expectation of everlasting good?
A35389Some may question, how can this be?
A35389Some render it, Hast thou not made a wall about him?
A35389Some take light here for knowledge, Wherefore hath a miserable man so much knowledge to see himselfe, and to know himselfe miserable?
A35389Sonnes of God who?
A35389Suppose that there was an Institution of God for sacrificing; why did God call for Sacrifices?
A35389Surely they were more than men, that the Father is but at a Question, whether his sonnes have sinned or no?
A35389Take it in the last sense, men that have treasures will labour to preserve them, why?
A35389Take it on my word, thou canst not thrive this way, thou canst make nothing of it, what dost thou meane to go on madding in such a course as this?
A35389Tell me O my friends, shew me O my God, Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery?
A35389Tell me, hast thou taken notice of such an one?
A35389Terrifie what?
A35389That the people and servants of God dwell in the middest of enemies, in the middest of dangers; Why else need there be an hedge, a wall about them?
A35389That the souls under the Altar cry, How long Lord, how long?
A35389The Cup also shall passe thorough unto thee; What cup?
A35389The Eunuch answered, How should I unlesse some man would guide mee?
A35389The Master of the servant in the Gospell, shall come in a day: in what day?
A35389The Prophet brings in one questioning, What are these wounds?
A35389The cup which my Father hath given me, saith he, shall I not drinke it?
A35389The difficulty that is in this lyeth onely in that word Thither; the doubt is, what place he meanes or whither?
A35389The enemies strike this sword in their bones, A scornfull enquirie, Where is now your God?
A35389The meaning of it is, wherefore is light continued, and wherefore is life continued?
A35389The question then is, Whether an evill or a troublesome being be worse then no being?
A35389The reason of his reprehension in those which follow, What?
A35389The very same may we say to many, who reade the Scriptures, understand you what you reade?
A35389The will of Satan was sinfull, but the power given Satan was just Why?
A35389The word is, Hast thou put thy heart upon Job?
A35389Their language is, Why are you so precise, why so not,& c?
A35389Then Satan answered the Lord and said, doth Job feare God for naught?
A35389Then againe, If I had not so much favour to die assoone as ever I came from the wombe, or to die in the very birth; yet, Why did the knees prevent me?
A35389Then here, hast thou put Job upon thy heart?
A35389Then said his wife unto him, Doest thou still retaine thine integritie?
A35389Then there is a third sense full of falsehood, which Satan casteth upon Iob, Doeth Job feare God for nought?
A35389Then what comfort thinke you will honour give you?
A35389Then, Satan could never have found out such a time as this; Must he needs be afflicting the Father, when the children were a feasting?
A35389There is a reprehension in the question: So God full of wrath toward Sathan, saith, whence commest thou?
A35389There is a third doubt, the resolving of which will further cleare the Scripture to us, that is, Whether a day, be an object capable of a curse or no?
A35389There is no such returne, as Nicodemus said, Shall a man that is old goe into his mothers wombe and be borne againe?
A35389There is one I am sure that oweth thee no service, and by his good will, will doe thee none; hast thou not found my servant?
A35389There were many wildernesses?
A35389There, where is that?
A35389Therefore enquire further into the matter, So did Iob fall out with his day?
A35389These two things are come unto thee, who shall be sorry for thee?
A35389These understand them as an Ironie, as if his wife scoffing and jeering her husband had said: Doest thou still retaine thine integrity?

A33354Gavest thou the goodly wings to the Peacock?
A33354Go to then, canst thou point the place, from whence Light doth proceed?
A33354Gobbets of him to friends, as tokens send, And to each merchant give his dividend?

A33354He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength, who hath been fierce against him, and hath prospered?
A33354He who himself is Justice, can he do What is unjust?
A33354He who so late, with Glorie and Renown, Dwelt in this place, pray whither is he gone?
A33354He wounds, he cures, makes sick, and doth restore Men to their health; what can we ask for more?
A33354Hide them in the dust, and bind their faces in secret?
A33354His bounds design''d, which he can not exceed?
A33354How do the Heav''ns appear then to the eye?
A33354How doth such usage with thy Justice sute?
A33354How far it doth from East to West extend?
A33354How guarded, by what Policy ensur''d, At all Adventures from the craft, and force Of th''other fiery rambling meteors?
A33354How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing, as it is?
A33354How in thy raving then dar''st thou express Thy self in such unheard of terms, as these Which I have tax''d?

A33354How long wilt thou talk of these things?
A33354How long, sayes he, friend, wilt thou thus exclaim ▪ Against that justice, which the Heavens did frame, To what do all thy imprecations tend?
A33354How much less shall I answer him, or how shall I find out my words with him?

A33354How oft is the candle of the wicked put out, and how oft cometh their destruction?
A33354How oft, pray, do we see such sinful men, Expos''d to Gods displeasure?
A33354How stedfast are the words of righteousness, and what can any of you reprove?
A33354How then can man be justified with God?
A33354How then should any foolish man suppose That he, who all things sees, and all things knows, Can be unjust?
A33354I ask thee then, would''st think it fit to use Such language to a King, wouldst thou accuse A Monarch in his face?
A33354I beseech you then, Who hear me now, as wise, and prudent men: Did y''ever hear a godly man expresse His mind, in such unlawful words, as these?
A33354I do beseech The favour of you, that you''ll let me know If I have injur''d any of you, or no?
A33354I will say unto God condemn me not and why dost thou contend with me?
A33354I''l say, Lord, why am I thus punished?
A33354I''s''t not enough that thou Shouldst chide thy Friends?
A33354I''ve done what thou allowd, says he, and ● ow I ask if thou hast any more to do For me on earth?
A33354If I be wicked, why labour I thus in vain?
A33354If a man dye, shall he live again?
A33354If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, who can turn him back?
A33354If horrid sins then do my Soul distain, Why do I thus excuse my self in vain?
A33354If righteous, what dost thou on him bestow?
A33354If thou be righteous, what givest thou him?
A33354If thou sinnest, what dost thou against him?
A33354If to my Maker I have given offence, Why should I all this while plead Innocence?
A33354If we essay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved?
A33354If we speak of strength, behold he is strong if we speak of judgement, who shall bring me into plead?
A33354In all thy life- time hast thou ever seen Deaths gates cast open?
A33354In the first place then, I desire to know How high the Heavens are?
A33354In the wild Forrest, where there is no trade, Where, for a price no meat is to be had?
A33354In whose Composing thou didst Art employ?
A33354Is he not such, now say For all thy Art, can''st fall upon a way, To make that Man break his Allegiance To me?
A33354Is it in commerce?
A33354Is it so strange to see a man perplex''t With misery complain, as I do now?
A33354Is my strength the strength of stones or is my flesh of brass?
A33354Is not God in the height of heaven?
A33354Is not my strength exhausted?
A33354Is not our case the same?
A33354Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy patience, and the uprightness of thy ways?
A33354Is there any number of his armies,& upon whom doth not his light arise?
A33354Is there not an appointed time for man upon earth?
A33354Is this to comfort pray?
A33354Is''t not enough you see my body pin''d, But you must likewise thus distract my mind?
A33354Is''t not thy duty?
A33354It is well that he should seek of you?
A33354Know est thou the ordinances of heaven?
A33354Knows then what shifts he uses for his food, And makes provision for his tender brood?
A33354Lay down now, and put in surety for thee, who is he, that will touch my hand?
A33354Let''s argue then, my Friend, I do desire, Can a Rush grow up, where there is no Mire?
A33354Like a poor Malefactor, who has tane His leave of all his friends, and with some pain Mounted the Ladder?
A33354Like one of those, thou talkst, alace, my friend, When wilt''to those expressions put an end?
A33354Lord what is all we brag of then for what Keep we such toyl on earth?
A33354Make a rude bit reverberat his tooth?
A33354Man of a Woman born, can he be clean?
A33354May I not then oppress''t with Life repine, Since there''s no Life comparable to mine?
A33354May not I now have libertie to die?
A33354May not I then exhibit my complaint To my Creator?
A33354Must we esteem you wise, because that you Know as much as the Brutal Creatures do?
A33354Must we yet live?
A33354My Body tortur''d with a strange Disease, W ● ose fury no soft Ointments can appease: What art to such as I am can bring ease?
A33354My Skin to pieces is all rent, and torn, Was ever man to such sad Judgements born?
A33354My actings in this Earth?
A33354My small time, that remains?
A33354NExt, I demand thee, know''st thou who it is That doth preserve the several species Of all those Creatures?
A33354Nay let us even suppose, my plagues did flow, From th''hand of man, I pray, my friends, if so, Why may not I as other men be vex''t?
A33354Next there''s the Raven, such a creature too, As lives by prey, as well as Lyons do: Who doth provide its food?
A33354Next, as to darknesse: — dost thou comprehend What thing that is?
A33354No sure, then judge me, for I can not plead Not guilty: I''m unclean, and who can bring That which is clean, out of an unclean thing?

A33354Thou seest then, Lord, how these my case mistake, Then why should they themselves my Judges make?
A33354Thou shalt call me, and I shall answer thee, thou lovest the work of thine own hands?
A33354Thou talkst with God, as wouldst with one of us, — Why thus oppress''d?
A33354Thou tell''st us thou art pure, and innocent, And why should the Almighty thus torment One in the reputation of a Saint?
A33354Thou, who in troubles others hast restor''d Canst thou no comfort to thy self afford?

A33354What answer, Lord; can such as I am make, To all thy questions?
A33354What are my sins, Lord, of what quality?
A33354What are their virtues?
A33354What but ignorance Of what God is, and foolish arrogance, Which thence proceeds?

A33354What man is like Iob, who drinketh up scorning like water?
A33354What means this clamour?
A33354What must he be, when even we do admire The least part of his Glory?
A33354What power have I that I should endure, or what is my end, if I should prolong my life?
A33354What say''st of him?
A33354What service do they make?
A33354What shall I do then, shall I live, or dye, Sleep, or awake, on this, or that side lye?
A33354What shall I say then?
A33354What shall we do then, shall we yet enquire What thing it is?

A33354and how long shall the words of thy mouth be as a mighty wind?
A33354and make my speech nothing worth?
A33354and understandest that is not in us?
A33354and what do thine eyes mean?

A46807That is, say some Expositours, seeing he is not capable of being taught wisdome; or rather, seeing he hath no mind or desire to be wise or good?
A46807That is, that thou shouldest thus reply upon me again the second time?
A46807That is, they reproach and flout at him, Is this that glorious king, whose kingdome was to continue as long as the sun and moon endured?
A46807That is, who can make him to understand what shall be done here in this world when he is dead?
A46807That is, why shouldest thou suffer me by going aside to enquire of thee to fall in amongst the flocks of thy fellow- shepheards?
A46807That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words goe out of thy mouth?]
A46807That which he demands of him under these words what emboldeneth thee?
A46807That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?]
A46807The first clause is in the Hebrew, Wilt thou cause thine eies to flee upon that which is not?
A46807The last clause may be read as it is in the margin, What can the man do that cometh after the King, in those things which have been already done?
A46807The second Reason is in the last clause; For who can tell a man what shall be after him under the Sunne?
A46807The second answer is, that Paul alledgeth these words of the Psalm only by way of allusion; as if he had said, Have they not heard?
A46807Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Iob fear God for nought?]
A46807Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the foole, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise?
A46807They commune of laying snares privily; they say, who shall see them?]
A46807They said, Can God furnish a table in the wildernesse?]
A46807Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidest, My righteousnesse is more then Gods?]
A46807This is the drift of these words, what is my strength that I should hope?
A46807This last clause may be indeed read, as it is in the margin of our Bibles, for why should I be as one that is vailed by the flocks of thy companions?
A46807Thou hast made me as the clay, and wilt thou bring me into dust again?]
A46807Thou, Lord, by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage?
A46807Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged; and though I forbear; what am I ● ased?]
A46807To whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?]
A46807To whom hast thou uttered words?
A46807To wit, with grief?
A46807WHither is thy beloved gone?
A46807WHy do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?]
A46807WHy standest thou afar off, O Lord?
A46807WHy, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him, not see his daies?]
A46807What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
A46807What is his name,& what is his sons name, if thou canst tell?
A46807What is man, that thou art mindfull of him?
A46807What is man, that thou shouldest magnifie him?
A46807What is my strength, that I should hope?
A46807What is thy beloved more then another beloved, O thou fairest among women?
A46807What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many daies, that he may see good?]
A46807What man is he that feareth the Lord?
A46807What man is he that liveth and shall not see death?
A46807What man is like Iob, who drinketh scorning like water, which walketh in company with the workers of iniquity?
A46807What man is like Iob, who drinketh up scorning like water?
A46807What man is like Iob, who drinketh up scorning like water?]
A46807What man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?
A46807What manner of man is this, that even the winde and the sea obey him?
A46807What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?]
A46807What profit hath he that worketh, in that wherein he laboureth?]
A46807What profit is there in my bloud, when I goe down to the pit?
A46807What shall be given unto thee?
A46807What then shall I doe, when God riseth up?
A46807What will ye see in the Shulamite?
A46807What( saith the Apostle) if some did not believe?
A46807What?
A46807When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise?
A46807When he giveth quietnesse, who then can make trouble?
A46807When shall I come and appear before God?
A46807When wilt thou execute judgement on them that persecute me?
A46807Whence then cometh wisedome?
A46807Where are their Gods?
A46807Where is the way where light dwelleth?
A46807Wherefore are we counted as beasts and reputed vile in your sight?]
A46807Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in mine hand?]
A46807Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea are mighty in power?]
A46807Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?
A46807Wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
A46807Wherefore hearest thou mens words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
A46807Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction,& c.?
A46807Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul?]
A46807Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdome, seeing he hath no heart to it?]
A46807Wherefore should God be angry at thy voice; that is, at these thy vaine excuses, and destroy the work of thine hands?
A46807Wherefore should I fear in the dayes of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compasse me about?]
A46807Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastned?
A46807Wherewithall shall a young man cleanse his way?
A46807Whether any thing he had spoken had given any such just advantage to Eliphaz, that thereby he should be encouraged to reply again upon him?
A46807Whether shall I goe from thy spirit?
A46807While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
A46807Who can stand before his cold?
A46807Who hath bound the waters in a garment?
A46807Who hath directed the spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him?)
A46807Who hath established all the ends of the earth?
A46807Who hath gathered the wind in his fist?
A46807Who hath given him a charge over the earth?
A46807Who hath layed the measures thereof, if thou knowest?
A46807Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darknesse and hath no light?
A46807Who is like unto the Lord?

A46807Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?]
A46807Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?]
A46807Will a Lion roar in the forrest, when he hath no prey?

A46807Will the Vnicorn be willing to serve thee?
A46807Will you speak wickedly for God and talk deceitfully for him?]
A46807Will you speak wickedly for God?
A46807Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off?
A46807Wilt thou also disannull my judgement?

A46807Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great?
A46807Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?]
A46807after whom dost thou pursue?
A46807alas what doth it profit you?
A46807am I not able to judge what is true and what is false, what is just and what is unjust?
A46807and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?]
A46807and accordingly also do they understand the following clause, and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
A46807and are all fools besides your self?
A46807and as for darknesse, where is the place thereof?]
A46807and caused the day- spring to know his place?]
A46807and did not one fashion us in the womb?]
A46807and do ye not know their tokens?]
A46807and doing it withall so sillily, How hast thou helped him that is without power?
A46807and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?
A46807and how much more then will it be so, when I shall be with him in glory?
A46807and how oft cometh their destruction upon them?]
A46807and if so, have you considered who he is to whom you have spoken?
A46807and in the following verse, what knowest thou which we know not?
A46807and is there knowledge in the most High?
A46807and is wisedome driven quite from me?]
A46807and must I againe expose my selfe to the sufferings I am now freed from to follow thee?
A46807and shall the rock be removed out of his place?]
A46807and should a man full of talk be justified?
A46807and so also not only in prosperity, but in times of distresse too?
A46807and so eat him, thou& thy companions together?
A46807and so likewise do many Expositours understand the next clause also, what is mine end that I should prolong my life?
A46807and that hereupon, in the following verse, he upbraids Iob with the impiety of his thoughts, And thou sayest, How doth God know?
A46807and that thou didst but aime at thine own advantage in all that thou hast done?
A46807and the mouth tast his meat?
A46807and the mouth tast his meat?
A46807and the mouth tast his meat?]
A46807and the son of man, that thou visitest him?]
A46807and thereupon he adds too, Is there any secret thing with thee?
A46807and thy righteousnesse in the land of forgetfulnesse?]
A46807and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?]
A46807and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?]
A46807and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him?
A46807and who hath then descended again, to tell what he hath seen there, or to make known unto others the counsels of God concerning mans salvation?
A46807and who shall repay him what he hath done?]
A46807and who shall stand in his holy place?]
A46807and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?]
A46807and wilt thou teach him who gives thee life and breath, and who is the father of the spirits of all flesh?
A46807are thy proceedings in judgement any way like to theirs, that oppresse men under a pretence of law and justice?
A46807as for my hope, who shall see it?]
A46807as if he had said, Do you consider who I am, and in what condition I am?
A46807as if he had said, Is it not enough for thee to defend thy self, but thou wilt also condemn me?
A46807as if he had said, Just cause hadst thou to upbraid me with those words, as thou didst erewhile, who is he that hideth counsell without knowledge?
A46807as if he had said, You have now indeed hit the nail on the head, you have fully and convincingly opened the cause between God and me; and how?
A46807as if he had said, whose spirit hast thou revived by this which thou hast spoken?
A46807as if he should have said, Had I not hope in God, how could I have sustained my self all this time?
A46807as if he should have said, I would gladly see the man that would upon these tearms make an agreement with me; but alas who is he that will doe it?
A46807as if he should have said, If I should, would not God have punished me for it?
A46807as if he should have said, What?
A46807as if he should have said, what do you make of your self that you take so much upon you in regard of your knowledge, and in regard of your years?
A46807as if he should have said, will you never have done?
A46807as if they should have said, Hath not that God whom you served so zealously, and on whom you relyed with such confidence, forsaken you at last?
A46807as is the second, and what profit shall I have?
A46807as it is more clearly expressed in the following clause, or whether shall I flee from thy presence?
A46807but the thunder of his power who can understand?
A46807but, as one whose words were swallowed up with grief, he only saith, How long?
A46807can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women?
A46807can be judge through the dark cloud?
A46807can he judge through the dark cloud?
A46807can he judge through the dark cloud?
A46807can he provide flesh for his people?
A46807can not my tast discern perverse things?]
A46807doe thereupon break forth into this expression of admiration, Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness, like pillars of smoak,& c?
A46807dost thou flinch?
A46807either it is meant of Iobs children, as if he had said, Hath not God destroyed both him, and his wicked brood too, his children?
A46807for that best agreeth with the second clause, are not his daies also like the daies of an hireling?
A46807friend, wherefore art thou come?
A46807from whence should my help come?
A46807have you uttered words suitable to and fit for a man in such a sad distressed condition as I am?
A46807he expresseth himself thus, whose spirit came from thee?
A46807he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
A46807hereupon he adds this, Who hath prevented me?
A46807how great is the summe of them?
A46807how highly do I esteem of them?
A46807if you die, must all the world needs die with you?
A46807is it not to one that knoweth these things as well as your self?
A46807is there any secret thing with thee?]
A46807is your God dead, to whom you were wo nt to sing?
A46807must you prescribe God when, in what manner, and how long he shall afflict you?
A46807of himselfe or of some other man?
A46807of this chapter, How much lesse shall I answer him, and chuse out words to reason with him?
A46807of which see the Note there: Or else, as in relation to Iob himself, To whom hast thou uttered words?
A46807or abide by thy crib?]
A46807or are these things at thy disposing?
A46807or because the number of thy dayes is great?]
A46807or bore his jaw through with a thorn?]
A46807or bore his nose with a gin?
A46807or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?]
A46807or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?]
A46807or do you think he will like it that you should plead his cause in such a manner?
A46807or do you think that the spirit of God did dictate them to you?
A46807or dost thou know in what estate all that are dead are?
A46807or doth the Almighty pervert justice?]
A46807or else the dog- star, with others that rise here in the Summer; Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?
A46807or else to the evil which he chargeth upon him, wilt thou also disannull my judgement?
A46807or fill the appetite of the young lions?]
A46807or give a reward for me of your substance?]
A46807or hast thou seen the doores of the shadow of death?]

A46807or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?]
A46807or how long wilt thou defer to help me?
A46807or is my flesh of brasse?]
A46807or lastly, to shew how causelessely they were so harsh to him; Did I say, bring unto me?
A46807or loweth the ox over his fodder?]
A46807or rather, What shall I say to thee, or desire and require from thee?
A46807or seest thou as man seeth?]
A46807or to thy faithfulnesse round about thee?]
A46807or wast thou made before the hills?
A46807or wast thou made before the hills?]
A46807or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?]
A46807or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?]

A46807or will he harrow the valleys after thee?]
A46807or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
A46807or, To whom hast thou uttered words?
A46807or, What affection dost thou bear towards me?
A46807or, as it is in the Hebrew, not in thy time?
A46807or, have not the Gentiles heard?
A46807or, how long wilt thou proceed to disregard me, as if thou meantest never more to mind me?
A46807or, jealousie?
A46807or, that which when a man hath gotten, will usually be gone on a sudden?
A46807or, the daies of my life?
A46807or, there is no man to be compared to him; And who knoweth the interpretation of a thing?
A46807or, when thou leadest him fastened to the harrow, will he follow after thee to harrow the valleys?
A46807or, where can such a wife be found?
A46807or, who hath begotten the drops of the dew?
A46807or, who shall reply upon him for this?
A46807or, why should it seem so strange, that the Gospel should be preached to the Gentiles?
A46807or, wilt not thou still preserve me, that I may not be overthrown by mine enemies, or fall under the power of them that seek my ruine?
A46807or, wilt thou leave thy hay and corn, the fruit of thy labour, to be brought in by him?
A46807out of whose womb came the ice?
A46807shall it declare thy truth?
A46807shall the prey be taken from the mighty?
A46807shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
A46807shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evill?
A46807so here, Who is she?
A46807that he interrupted Iob, and would not let him go on as he meant to have done, Should not, saith he, the multitude of words be answered?
A46807that is, Did not God give thee that life and breath whereby thou hast spoken?
A46807that is, How few are there that doe seriously consider or acknowledge this?
A46807that is, I fear thou wilt, and it is that which hath made us forbear so long; but who can withhold himself from speaking?
A46807that is, Is it to God you have addressed your words in this which you have spoken?
A46807that is, What manner of woman is this?
A46807that is, Who hath the winds absolutely at his disposing, so that he can hold them in or let them loose at his pleasure?
A46807that is, Who is like to him?
A46807that is, after thou hast ploughed them?
A46807that is, among the mighty ones of the earth?
A46807that is, bread- corn( for at that time they had none but manna) or meat; as the following words expresse it, Can he provide flesh for his people?
A46807that is, canst thou make the dog- star and other fiery summer stars, or those stars that are hidden in the South, to shew themselves in their season?
A46807that is, do ye not understand that their present prosperity, riches and honours, are sure tokens that there is wrath that abides them hereafter?
A46807that is, doth not he exactly know, whether it be so or no?
A46807that is, have you think you all the wisedome?
A46807that is, how long wilt thou afflict me?
A46807that is, how shall any man living be found so just in Gods sight, that when God corrects him he may justly complain, that he hath wrong done him?
A46807that is, how should I carry my self towards God?
A46807that is, how should I hence expect any help?
A46807that is, if you be cut off and perish, must all the glory of the world needs perish with you?
A46807that is, not only in adversity, but in his prosperity too?
A46807that is, or canst thou hinder the influences of Orion, which brings in the winter season?
A46807that is, say many Expositours, who can foresee it?
A46807that is, say some Expositors, what hath he lesse then the rich man hath, whither wise or foolish?
A46807that is, that falleth and dyeth and perisheth with the body?
A46807that is, the truth of thy promises, or thy faithfulnesse in performing thy promises?
A46807that is, thy friends, whom thou invitest, or thy fellow- fishermen, joyned in company with thee?
A46807that is, to be hid from thy eye, that thou maist not know where I am?
A46807that is, what dost thou look at?
A46807that is, what is now become of the house of Job, that mighty man of estate, that lived formerly like a prince?
A46807that is, what is now become of the house of that young gallant, your son and heir?
A46807that is, wherefore am I so eagerly desirous to die?
A46807that is, who can restrain the rain in the clouds from falling down upon the earth?
A46807that is, who is it that hath taught you these high mysteries?
A46807that is, who shall retort that upon God which he hath done?
A46807that is, why are we scorned and despised, as if we were mere bruits that had no understanding?
A46807that is, why do you so vainly conclude that God alwaies punisheth wicked men, and prospers the righteous, and thereupon condemn me for an hypocrite?
A46807that is, why shouldest thou provoke God to cut thee off by an untimely death?
A46807that is, will you thus contend and wrangle for God against that which you know to be just and right?
A46807that is, wilt thou leave thy work in ploughing, carting,& c. to be done by him?
A46807that looketh forth as the morning; that is, that appeareth as the morning doth after a dark night, fresh and faire, lightsome and chearfull?
A46807that the tabernacles of robbers prosper and they that provoke God are secure,& c. who then would fear God or pray unto him?
A46807that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
A46807that thou art mindfull of him?
A46807that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands?
A46807that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands?
A46807the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
A46807the cup which my father giveth me, shall I not drink it?
A46807therefore some Expositours understand this clause thus, What profit is there in my bloud?
A46807think you that I am so silly and ignorant, that I know not these things that you have uttered?
A46807think you that I speak it as out of despair?
A46807thou numbrest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sins?
A46807to what end do you still hope in God, and pray to him and blesse him?
A46807to wit, because for the most part they do not say, Where is God my maker?
A46807to wit,( as it follows in the next verse) that the tryumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
A46807we may read it also, Should thy devices make men hold their peace?
A46807were it not much better with content and comfort to make use of that estate which God hath bestowed upon them?
A46807what counsell or charge shall I give thee, rather then this which I shall now say to thee?
A46807what do you take me to be?
A46807what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
A46807what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him?
A46807what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him?
A46807what need I take so much care for my life?
A46807what?
A46807when will it be morning?
A46807whence is it that he is so long a coming?
A46807where is the Lord God of Elijah?
A46807where is the man that dares be so bold as to doe this?
A46807where we read that at the day of judgement the wicked shall say, The great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?
A46807wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
A46807wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth?
A46807wherefore hath the Lord brought us into this land?
A46807whereupon he adds also, and dost thou restrain wisedome to thy self?
A46807which is evident in the following clause, shall the dust praise thee?
A46807whither it thy beloved turned aside, that we may seek him with thee?
A46807who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?
A46807who art thou that judgest another mans servant?
A46807who but a wicked man would doe it?
A46807who can shew forth all his praise?
A46807who hath babling?
A46807who hath contentions?
A46807who hath sorrow?
A46807who hath wounds without cause?
A46807who is this that darkneth counsell by words without knowledge?
A46807who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
A46807who shall dwell in thy holy hill?]
A46807who shall repay him what he hath done?
A46807who shall say to him, what doest thou?
A46807who will say unto him, what dost thou?]
A46807why did she not rather suffer me to fall from the womb to the earth, where I might have lyen and perished presently?
A46807why do so many of you conspire mischief against one poor man?
A46807will a lion roar in the forrest, when he hath no prey?
A46807will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
A46807will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
A46807will he alwaies call upon God?
A46807will he enter with thee into judgement?]
A46807will you make your selves Gods?
A46807will you undertake to teach the omniscient and all- wise God?
A46807wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?]
A46807wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
A46807yea though his afflictions be never so sore, and of never so long continuance?
A46807yea to affect a kind of finenesse and eloquence in speaking, Faecundi calices quem non fecere disertum?
A46807yea why may we not look upon that as an intimation, that he would in processe of time reveal himself savingly unto all the world?
A46807yea, saith he, How long will ye vex my soul and break me in pieces with words?
A46807yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the end of the world: as if he should have said, Have not the Jews heard?
A46807yet I conceive the meaning of these words runs more clearly thus, If not, where and who is he?
A46807you make account you have done great wonders; but, alas, what am I the better for all that you have spoken?
A46807— He that planted the ear shall not he hear?
A302421. how copious and overflowing he is in blessing of God for his manifold graces to the godly?
A302421.19 Oh then, Who can bewail the imperfect and defective knowledge that is every where?
A3024210.24 The Disciples cry out, Who then can be saved?
A3024212. said, There was given him a thorn in the flesh; and it''s given to the godly to suffer, How is that?
A3024216.26?
A3024217.9?
A302422. you see it was of old prophesied: Why do the Heathens rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
A3024229.14?
A302422?
A3024238 Divisions divided; their Nature, Causes, 39 Are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
A302424. that woman of Samaria, who pleaded so carnaly for her false worship, Our fathers they worshiped here, and art thou greater then our fathers?
A302428.20 And can the Disciple be above his Master?
A30242?
A30242?
A30242A Serpent for a Fish without Wisdome?
A30242A second Objection is, Is Christ only to be preached as the foundation?
A30242A wounded spirit, who can bear?
A30242Absolom''s ambition for the Kingdom, what a terrible shake did it make in Israel?
A30242Alas, Could the material Sacrifice do that?
A30242Alas, how many do not so much as understand the first principles?
A30242Alas, how poor and contemptible are the highest notions even of Plato, though called Divine, when you come and read Paul?
A30242All the doubt is, What the Apostle doth mean by the Day?
A30242All those Martyrs, that lost their lives for the truths of God, were they not condemned as heretiques?
A30242Am I afraid of a mans eye, and yet he can not damn me, he can not throw me into Hell?
A30242And First, Doth God make use of severall Gifts for this end, to gain you; that if Boanerges do no good on you, Barnabas may?
A30242And First, Is the Ministry thus one?
A30242And First, It may be objected, How can Christ only be preached as a foundation?
A30242And I of Christ?
A30242And Paul himself, who had so much confidence, as to say, Who shall separate us from the love of God in Christ?
A30242And are people to be built upon him?
A30242And art not thou afraid thy house, thy estate, thy wealth, may be made by God a snare to thee?
A30242And at another time, Paul renounced the cunning and deceitfull waies of humane wisdome; They did not come in such words: And why?
A30242And could this be by the same spirit?
A30242And did not many willingly suffer the Egyptian thraldom in Popery, who would not endure the yoke of the Gospel?
A30242And do not the Orthodox say thus to the Papists?
A30242And doth not Solomon, the wise man, pen an whole Book, to inform of this, that all is but vexation of spirit?
A30242And doth not the Prophet Jonah tell us a good lesson, They that observe lying vanities, forsake their own mercy?
A30242And here we may say in another sense, Thou that abhorrest Idols, doest thou commit sacriledge?
A30242And how beautifull would the Tabernacle of the Lord have been, if this Foundation had been alwaies laid?
A30242And how can they call, if they do not believe?
A30242And how canst thou eat, sleep, and live in such a place?
A30242And how greatly will the wilfull poverty of some misguided Zealots in Antiquity condemn us herein?
A30242And how often at the same time doth thy conscience joyne with the Word, that thou art convinced?
A30242And if Divine, How there can be a primary Object of Religious Worship, as God the Father, and a secondary Object, as Christ the Mediatour?
A30242And if on the other side, God shall say, Depart ye cursed, can any thing withstand it?
A30242And if so, Why doest thou ta ● e no more heed?
A30242And if there be so much ado for an outward Kingdome, and earthly greatnesse, how much rather should this be prized and received?
A30242And if there be so much joy, for reducing one straying Sheep, how much more of wandering Shepherds?
A30242And if they are not such, then how apt are men to be Pharisees?
A30242And if this was true of those extrordinary gifted persons, how much more of ordinary?
A30242And if you ask, What Person it is in the God- head?
A30242And in our forefathers daies, was not the Aegyptian darknesse of Popery, covering the whole world?
A30242And is God only zealous of outward worship, not of inward?
A30242And is not brawling and squabling the very trade, the meat and drink of many quarrelling people?
A30242And is not here ground of quietnesse enough within thee?
A30242And is not this as palpable here?
A30242And is not this lesson of great consequence?
A30242And so for our understanding and senses, and imagination, who is it that preserveth thee?
A30242And so the Ministers of God may plead, Why are you become enemies and adversaries?
A30242And so, How darest thou have heart- sinnes, saying, All is well because the world doth not behold it?
A30242And the more waies he multiplyeth the worship of God, may it not be the more acceptable to him?
A30242And then as for their mercies and their afflictions, how many times do these draw out their corruptions; and they seem to be the worse for them?
A30242And then thy life, How pure is that?
A30242And therefore we are not only to look to what we build, but why we build; Is it the glory of God, the salvation of mens souls?
A30242And thus it is in regard of spiritual joy; You are apt to condemn the generation of the godly; Why will they be so strict and precise?
A30242And thus truly God hath done with many glorious spiritual Temples under the Gospel: Where are the seven Churches of Asia?
A30242And thus, when natural men wonder; saying, Why do these men thus pray, thus mourn, thus long after God?
A30242And what a folly is this, to be miserable here, and miserable hereafter?
A30242And what a support is this?
A30242And what are these Gifts?
A30242And whence is all this, but because David is a man after Gods own heart?
A30242And where is the pure Church of Rome now?
A30242And wherein is humility more seen, then in giving all to God?
A30242And who hath that?
A30242And who is scorned as a fool, but that man whom God pronounceth wise?
A30242And why so, but that we should lift up our hearts and affections thither?
A30242And why?
A30242And will not God judge other sinners as well as these?
A30242And wilt thou do as the most?
A30242And, Shalt thou be bad to thy own soul, because God is good to others?
A30242And, What made the Disciples so factiously preferre one above the other?
A30242And, if so?
A30242Are all our thoughts vain?
A30242Are any hearts too strong for the Lord?
A30242Are drunken men fit for to advise, to counsel, to carry on any work of consequence?
A30242Are not many of our Assemblies in the world and of the world still, in respect of conversation?
A30242Are not most men destitute of Christs Spirit?
A30242Are not these things acknowledged by all?
A30242Are not they preserved in their being?
A30242Are not your hearts the more distracted and divided?
A30242Are the Churches of God, thus Temples of God?
A30242Are the Truths and Ordinances of God by institution, and in their original so pure?
A30242Are there any more Christs?
A30242Are they all to agree in one, in the same ends, in the same Doctrine?
A30242Are we Atheists?
A30242Are we not a Church, persons called out of wickednesse?
A30242Are we not of the same house?
A30242Are we not places prepared rather for the Devil and his evil Spirits to dwell with us, then Temples of the Holy Ghost?
A30242Are ye more acquainted in the wayes of Religion and Piety?
A30242Are ye not called to be holy as God is holy?
A30242Are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
A30242Are ye not carnall, because of this Envying?
A30242Are ye not to do Gods will on earth, as Angels in heaven?
A30242Are you like the green leaves in the river?
A30242Art thou a Saint- lyer, a Saint- drunkard, a Saint- Blasphemer?
A30242Art thou affected with him in a spiritual manner, as the Church is?
A30242Art thou afraid of the eye of a man, and not of a great God?
A30242Art thou drawn near to God, more improved in holinesse, by all the mercifull things thou hast?
A30242Art thou in thy house, in thy neighbourhood, as a tree of life?
A30242Art thou like one in a combate and conflict?
A30242Art thou no Atheist, no mocker and scorner, no scepticall, or disputer in matters of Religion, but a serious, stedfast, and constant Believer?
A30242Art thou not afraid of Gods wrath, of Gods vengeance?
A30242Art thou not rather like the Owle, that seeth in the night, but not in the day?
A30242Art thou not yet to lay the very foundation of godliness?
A30242Art thou repining and carnally muttering, thou hast not this, thou hast not that?
A30242As Elisha struck the waters of Jordan with Elijahs mantle, saying, Where is the God of Elijah?
A30242As First, What is meant by Faith depending and adhering to God?
A30242As also this may informe us who are his instruments in this matter?
A30242As it was in Hazael, Am I dog( said he) that I should do so?
A30242As life, a man doth feel and know he liveth, yet who can tell another what his life is?
A30242As our Saviour said, If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you understand them not, how then heavenly?
A30242As she said, If thou lovest me, how canst thou deny this, and that to me?
A30242As the Apostle Peter tels us of such prophane mockers; Where is the day of his coming?
A30242As we can not love him too much, nor delight in him too much, so neither can we worship him too much?
A30242As we reade of a devout man, who being wished a good day, he said, He never had an ill one in all his life: And being asked, How that could be?
A30242As we see in Popery, what a multitude of Ceremonies are introduced, which they make worship of God?
A30242As you see by David, How often doth he professe the breathings, the longings and thirstings of his soul after God?
A30242As you see it was with Paul, Who laboured more then he?
A30242Austin complained much of this, Vah tibi flumen moris humani quis resistet?
A30242Austin did much dispute this point, by reason of the Pelagians, Whether any man might be perfect in this life, free from all sinne?
A30242Barrenness and unfruitfulness, how doth it discourage you?
A30242Be in an agony; yea, how strait is it, as in Matth 7 14 by exclamation, few do enter therein?
A30242Because God hath not given thee the good things others have, wilt thou throw away thy soul also?
A30242Behold I lay in Zion a foundation stone,& c?
A30242Break off thy sins quickly by repentance; think, what will those cost me hereafter?
A30242But Christ came from Heaven, from the bosome of the Father; who would not readily assent to what he should direct unto?
A30242But In the second place, How can it be said, that the wicked do not live, when they are said to have their portion chiefly in this life?
A30242But alas, what are these to the truths of Christ?
A30242But can they say, for the Lord taketh care of thee?
A30242But how atheistical are the men of the world?
A30242But how easie may I build all upon a false foundation?
A30242But how happy are the godly, that how great soever the outward mercies are, yet they are pure and sanctified to them?
A30242But how is this to be unnderstood?
A30242But how many families are there, that have none but dead persons in them?
A30242But how may we addresse our selves to hear, and to the Ministry, so that God may make them something to us?
A30242But how much holinesse, faith, and purity, is required of such?
A30242But most frequently, the word is used in a debasing way: Either for frailty and misery; As, What is man?
A30242But now alas to whom is the power of God made known?
A30242But to whom are these things known?
A30242But to whom hath the Lord revealed this?
A30242But what is a Christian?
A30242But what is this common love without a special?
A30242But what saith the Text?
A30242But where are the persons or the Societies that do this?
A30242But who more ignorant and foolish in heavenly things?
A30242But why so?
A30242But you may say, If God give the increase, Why then doth not the Word bear fruit in every place?
A30242But you may say, Why should it be such a sinne to worship God any way a man pleaseth?
A30242But you will say, How is ● ● a ● s word a fire?
A30242Can a man that runnes in the race look to the Apples or fruit that groweth upon the tree, and seek to gather them?
A30242Can a man worship him too much?
A30242Can any Angels help thee?

A30242Can not he turn a wildernesse into a Paradise?
A30242Can the plaister cure, if thou art afraid to lay it to the sore?
A30242Can there be a greater good in the world desired, then that Gods face should be pleasant to us?
A30242Can we exceed in any way of worship of him?
A30242Can we expect any increase or fruit, when men are not so much as plants planted by God?
A30242Canst thou say, as Aristotle to him who asked why such colours refresh sight, It was a blind mans question?
A30242Carest thou not, though God see thee, whereas thou wouldst hide thy self, if man come near thee?
A30242Certainly, seeing such a destruction is coming, how much doth it concern all to watch and pray about it?
A30242Come then and be afraid, thou that livest in prophanenesse and impiety, what Law, what order hath God for this in his house?
A30242Come then thou who speakest of thy faith: What is thy heart, thy life, are they clean?
A30242Consider then, Am I in the right?
A30242Consider, Christ himself, in whom was the Treasures of all Wisdome; no man spake with such Authority as he did; What wonderfull Miracles did he?
A30242Consider, why is the Ministery good to others and not to thee?
A30242Could that ease his conscience?
A30242Couldst thou endure to have one at thy table to lay a snare to catch thee in thy words, to bring thee in temporal danger?
A30242David cryed out, How amiable were the Tabernacles of the Lord of Hosts?
A30242Did Christ live thus in the world?
A30242Did Dives live, though he boasted good things were stored up for him?

A30242Did men create thee?
A30242Did not Abraham tell Dives, He had received good things in this life?

A30242Did not our Saviours Rule prove true?
A30242Did not the Prophets; yea, Christ himself complain for want of this spiritual increase?

A30242Did they not speak in a tongue thou knowest and understoodest?
A30242Didst thou think, there is a greater and more necessary good, which will require greater affections?
A30242Dives had the good things of this life, but doth he not lose all with his soul at his death?
A30242Do I know more?
A30242Do I live more holily?
A30242Do all creatures, all conditions, all events make thee more godly?
A30242Do but observe your own thoughts, Are they not as vain as the very dreams of feavourish men?

A30242Do not many among us live like bruit beasts, rather than Christians?
A30242Do not men hereby shew their good affections, and zeal to h ● m?
A30242Do not the crafty Foxes and subtile Wolves, many times worry and devoure the poor innocent Sheep?
A30242Do not the damned in hell wish, they had never been born, that this natural life had never been bestowed upon them?
A30242Do not therefore be scandalized to see diversity of factions and opinions?
A30242Do not those that build hay and stubble, bring many texts of Scripture?
A30242Do not ye read often of David, that professeth the Word of God, was sweeter then the honey or the honey- comb to him?
A30242Do the souls of others blesse thee for thy teaching, reproving?

A30242Doest thou not know, that the most are damned?
A30242Doest thou say thou puttest thy trust in him?
A30242Doest thou therefore cry out of this forwardnesse and this zeal?
A30242Doest thou think then by thy formality, coldnesse and luke- warm moderation ever to attain Heaven?
A30242Dost thou discover thy foul, noisome heart?
A30242Dost thou not plainly see, the vanity and uncertainty of all other things?
A30242Dost thou talk of believing in Christ, when thou hatest purity, makes a scoff and a taunt at it?
A30242Dost thou tremble to see so much of the flesh in thee?
A30242Doth Christ any way gain- say this commandment of God?
A30242Doth God require this?
A30242Doth he begin to repent of his undertaking?
A30242Doth he murmur at it?
A30242Doth he not say, That his heart panted after God, like a parched wildernesse, and more then the hart doth after waters?

A30242Doth not this expression savour of pride and self- conceit, rather then of the humility and meekness of Christs Spirit?
A30242Doth the Bible allow me to be thus and thus prophane?
A30242Doth the Word of God suffer me to be thus licentious?
A30242Especially, Why should they preach of the threatnings, and the curse of the Law, of the torments of Hell?
A30242Every Sermon, should it not be an Ho to every one that is thirsty, naked, or miserable, that is burdened and laden to come to Christ?
A30242Every creature and condition they rejoyce in, is it not mutable?

A30242Give gold and silver to the damned men in hell, will that comfort them?
A30242Go then, and consider thy self; Thou speakest much of Gods favour, but hath thy soul been in agonies; in breaking of heart for it?
A30242God saith his Word is an enlightning Word, a sanctifying cleansing Word: Why is it not so to thee?
A30242God will destroy, Who can stop Gods hand?
A30242Gods Word is promised to be accompanied with the fulnesse of the Lords blessing to those that are his; But how?

A30242None may take upon them to appoint what is to be believed?
A30242Not what sinne thou hast; but what righteousnesse Christ hath?
A30242Now alas, are the foolish and unwarrantable opinions and doctrines of men able to produce such gracious effects?
A30242Now herein people not diligently meditate, Whose servants do we professe our selves to be?
A30242Now how great a matter is this very word Church?
A30242Now how many men do abhorre and disdain this, thinking all such Church- subjection, worse than Turkish slavery?

A30242Now much dispute there hath been among Heathens, What wisdome is?
A30242Now should not this Argument be like a sword in thy bowels: What?

A30242Now then supposing this, Who can plead for that damnable ignorance in many people, that have lived so many years, where the Word hath been preached?
A30242Now then, is not this very dangerous to thee, to place thy heart upon that which will be poyson and bane to thee?
A30242Now then, what an astonishing consideration is this?
A30242Now these are allegorical expressions, and you may ask, What is the plain meaning of them?
A30242Now they cry out, What have I to do with sinne any more?
A30242Now to believe such a day coming, of so impartiall a Judge, in such a terrible manner, might it not take off every man from his dearest sinnes?
A30242Now to purge this fountain, How many zealous Prophets did God raise up in his time?
A30242Now to what purpose is an eloquent Pathetical Oration to a dead man?

A30242Whence comest thou to be thus secure and confident?
A30242Whence is David thus carried out to the favour of God, but because of an heavenly heart within?
A30242Whence is all this, but because thou hast no spiritual life or feeling within thee?
A30242Whence is it, that God in time doth sanctify his people, doth justifie them, doth pardon sinne, and heal their corruptions?

A30242Wherein did this appear?
A30242Whether any Ministers or Churches are quite free from building hay or stubble?
A30242Which is greater to give a Christ, or to pardon sinne?
A30242Which was worst, an Heretique living with an unblameable life, or an Orthodox man, with a vicious and corrupt life?

A30242Whom I love I chasten?
A30242Whose ear doth God open to understand this?
A30242Why God only can give the increase?
A30242Why God?
A30242Why are those many Texts, To search the Scripture, To prove all things, if you sit down, and regard not these things?
A30242Why art not thou ashamed to look God, or good men in the face, that hast this divelish temper in thee?
A30242Why art thou dejected?
A30242Why art thou no more reformed, then where there is no Preaching, no Ministery at all?
A30242Why art thou so fearfull?
A30242Why do I let the day of grace, and the precious time of salvation passe away?
A30242Why do I take this moment of pleasure, for an eternity of torment?
A30242Why do any lie in their sinnes, if the Ministry by its own power could convert them?
A30242Why do you not desire a new Scripture, and a new Bible as well?
A30242Why doest thou as Rachel make a ● excuse to cover thy Idols?
A30242Why doest thou cry out, that none is like thee?
A30242Why dost thou not prepare thy self with fear and trembling?
A30242Why dost thou not remember what a reward God hath laid up for those that labour for him?

A30242Why doth he not order things with more perfect knowledge?

A30242Why is it that they are never satisfied, but in him?
A30242Why is this?
A30242Why is thy anger kindled like fire?
A30242Why might not he have thought it had been some good Angel, or there was some writing for him to encrease his kingdome?
A30242Why might not we have been born in those days, while Britany was Paganish and Heathenish?
A30242Why not at the end of every Sermon dost thou not aske, How hath this profited me?
A30242Why not fools and mad men, capable of any benefit by the Word preached?
A30242Why saith he thus to Gehezi?
A30242Why should God give any more increase, when thou hast abated from that former efficacy and vigour of grace?
A30242Why should death then be grievous to thee, when God hath no more for thee to do here, when thou canst be no more usefull to promote his glory?
A30242Why should they be blamed, if they get no good by the Ordinances, if they profit not under the Ministry, for God did not intend them for their good?
A30242Why so?
A30242Why so?
A30242Why then are we so apt to magnifie our self- glory, our own will, our own advantage?
A30242Why then are we such Apostates, as to degenerate from our Titles and Names?
A30242Why then are ye as men?
A30242Why then art thou afraid of man, and not God?
A30242Why then art thou pleasing thy selfe with the actions thou doest, when thou art in the old, polluted, defiled nature?
A30242Why then doest thou not trust in God only?
A30242Why then dost thou say, I must know how to work, how to plow, to sow, to maintain my natural life, and not also be as diligent about thy supernatural?
A30242Why then dost thou stumble in the day?
A30242Why then have ye been rebellious?
A30242Why then in these later dayes Heathenish Nations do not receive the faith, as in former times who can divine?
A30242Why then is it, that it hath not been so to thee?
A30242Why then lieth it thus ruinous?
A30242Why then should not that truth fill our mouths and our hearts here, which will possesse our souls to all eternity?
A30242Why those that are godly for the main are called carnal?
A30242Why will they not runne into the same excesse of sinne, and enjoy the ungodly pleasures of the world as others do?
A30242Why, did they not believe before?
A30242Why?
A30242Will a good work thus circumstantiated be sure to be rewarded?
A30242Will all their distinctions be any better than meer cob- webs in this matter?
A30242Will not all this hony turn into choler?
A30242Will not men judge them in this world?
A30242Will not my torments be according to my pleasures?
A30242Will not this be bitternesse in the later end?
A30242Will not this condemn thee at the Day of Judgment?
A30242Will thy pleasures of sinne continue with thee, when the pangs and throbs of death shall once surprize thee?
A30242Will thy wealth avail thee in the day of Gods wrath?
A30242With what delight and alacrity did they exhort one another to go to the house of the Lord?
A30242Woe be to thee, if the Word that is so effectual and operative to others, be not also to thee Who is Paul?
A30242Worse then when we worship the true God, after a false and unlawfull manner; yet how severely doth God punish this kind of Idolatry?
A30242Would he have become poor, to make thee rich?
A30242Would not worldly men think this was his folly, rather than faith?
A30242Would these be as good as a God to me?
A30242Would you be a people capable of this duty?
A30242Wouldst thou receive the richest goods that are brought into thy house, if the plague or infection were on them?
A30242Wouldst thou regard the titles and names of things, if thou find the clear contrary?
A30242Yea in the first times of Reformation from Popery, How many did not only receive the truth in their minds, but grace in their hearts?
A30242Yes how ready are we to say, these are our parts, our gifts?
A30242Yet how hardly have we any of these humane excellencies or comforts, and not boast of them?
A30242Yet the answer is plain in the Parable, when it was asked, How came those tares, seeing the Master had sown good seed?
A30242Yet they would not hearken to his words; And why?
A30242Yet where is the Christian to spiritual, so Gospelized, as to go out of all his duties, resting on Christ only?
A30242Yet who can perswade men to leave their carnal jollity, and to tast how good and pleasant the wayes of God are?
A30242Yet, What a barren wilderness is my heart?
A30242Yet, if Christs Righteousnesse, his worth be all, why wilt thou be a Christ to thy self?
A30242You can not bear the Sermon, that bids thee, Depart from sinne, How then that terrible sentence, which bids thee, Depart into everlasting burnings?
A30242You care not for that Ground, which never will yield a crop after all cost upon it; How can God indure thee?
A30242You have deprived me of God, and do you ask what I aile?
A30242You may say, who refuse Christ speaking from heaven?
A30242You that are godly especially, take heed of this: How contrary is this spirit of envy, to that love Christ hath put into you?
A30242and do I not tremble at Gods eye?
A30242and how can they believe, if they do not know?
A30242and if ye were without chastisement, ye were bastards, and no children?
A30242and should every one of us be thus in particular?
A30242and who is Apollo?

A30242and, Who is the wisest man?
A30242as Lyrinensis doth excellently amplifie it?
A30242but Ministers by whom ye believe?
A30242but how much more should the light of Gods countenance put life into us?
A30242but who can be saved?
A30242but, what Christ is?
A30242for if the Ministery cure thee not, what will cure thee?
A30242he perceived the Law to be a killing Messenger to him?
A30242how happy is it when the Ministery is profitable to thee, and thou art profiting to it?
A30242how many like Devils?
A30242how wise should the godly man be?
A30242ibid The properties of the Ministry as such a cause, 69 Who is Paul?
A30242is true of all other outward mercies, Beauty, Strength, Honours; How often are they given to the hurt of them that have them?
A30242live such a life, wherein thou canst not pray; no Prayer will do any good?
A30242merry and jolly, when in the Devils dungeon; when in the chains of darknesse; when upon the very borders of Hell?
A30242no wonder if the earthly man fall down to the ground, as the Aegyptians, like a stone into the Sea?
A30242of miracles, asking the people, Why do ye look upon us, as if we by our own power had done this wonder?
A30242of this expectation, and how the whole world shall be then on fire, he cryeth out, What manner of persons ought we to be?
A30242shall I laugh when at the day of judgement I shall stand arraigned at his Tribunal?
A30242speaketh excellently to this purpose, Professing themselves wise, they became fools; for their foolish heart was darkned: And wherein was this seen?
A30242they were not only converted from Popery, and superstition, but from prophaness and impiety?
A30242thou canst not say, it''s impossible for us to get knowledge; No, how great are the helps and meanes that God hath vouchsafed in these dayes?
A30242to the Sons of Levi, how did he this, but by the clearing of the Word from Pharisaical interpretations?
A30242v. 3. to be in an agony; Why?
A30242we inform of duty?
A30242we labour the eternal salvation of mens souls?
A30242what invocation, and divine worship is given unto some Saints, and to some that were no Saints, but canonized by the Pope?
A30242where you have a promise of being heir of the world; and to whom is this made?
A30242who bid, some be cloathed and warmed, but gave nothing?
A30242who can tell what is true?
A30242why is it that thou art such a blind Bat, or Owle in the day of the Gospel?
A30242why then should any thing be lost of the bread of life?
A30242will he not also of such, who shall make his Church a stew, a dunghill, a place of wickednesse and ungodlinesse?
A30242yea, how many like bruit beasts?

A6977784. what breathings, what longings, what impatience doth he there express?
A69777?
A69777A Christian, not in Name, but in Deed, and is afraid Christ should not be willing to receive it?
A69777A Disciple of Christ, who hath commanded us not to swear falsly, idly, or prophanely, and yet being a common Swearer, and Curter, and Blasphemer?
A69777A Reed shaken with the wi ● d: But what went ye out for to see?
A69777A man that shall speak to me smooth things, and deliver himself in words that are proper to express what he saith: But whom am I going to hear?
A69777A morsel of bread with an interest in Christ, than a stuffed Ox with the wrath of God?
A69777Add to this, that custom hath the force of a second nature; how can you( saith the Prophet) that are accustomed to do evil, do well?
A69777Admit that, Art thou sure of the motions, impressions, and breathings of the holy Spirit of God?
A69777Adorned enough?
A69777Again( saith he) is not this poor wretch alwaies a torment to her self?
A69777Ah what heartless, lifeless prayers, and religious duties are performed by men and women taken up with an undue proportion of secular imployments?

A69777And shall I ever think my self, holy, and Spiritual enough?
A69777And should not Christ be the wonderment of the whole creation, if he should love one so black as thou art?
A69777And thirdly; Shall not all your hearts, who have this day heard of his Beauty, burn with further love to him?

A69777And why do you not rather spend your time in praying to God for us?
A69777And will he be favourable no more?
A69777Are not these men rational persons as well as believers?
A69777Are the least tokens of Christs distinguishing Love so valuable, so desirable?
A69777Are they the Spouse of Christ?
A69777Are they then so well agreed amongst themselves?
A69777Are we confident that our Children, our Friends, or Neighbours are in the road to this blessed state?
A69777Are we justified, and is that any part of our beauty?
A69777Are you Spiritual Virgins?
A69777Are you by the Providence of God loosed from the world?
A69777Are you desirous of it?
A69777Are you willing to open the secrets of your Souls to Jesus Christ?
A69777Are your Souls willing to entertain such a Communion with Christ as this is?

A69777Art thou sure thou shalt then be drawn by the Preaching of the Gospel?
A69777Art thou willing that Christ should lodge all night with thy Soul?
A69777Art thou willing that a perfect Christ should lodge with thee?

A69777As if he would strip us all naked, and make us all bare?
A69777At a loss for what?
A69777Awake, why sleepest thou?
A69777Beauty is in it self attractive but who is there that will not covet a beauty, that a King should desire?
A69777Besides, how shall the impressions of the Spirit be known, tryed, or judged, but by the Word?
A69777But I hear some saying, Do not you determine that the grace of God can not be resisted, what need your exhortations then not to resist it?
A69777But admit they will not do their duty, still the question is, what is mine?
A69777But all this while, where is the exercise of the Souls panting, and breathing after God, of its faith of adherence unto, and dependence upon God?

A69777But do not the Loves of Christ do this much more?
A69777But drawing is a term of motion; there must be a term to which; Whither would the Spouse be drawn?
A69777But how far is this from the duty of Christians?
A69777But how many more have defiled themselves with damnable, or at least very dangerous Opinions?
A69777But if she loveth him, must she tell him so?
A69777But in this respect are not the loves of Christ good before Wine?
A69777But is it not possible to reconcile( at least) some part of the men of the World to those to whom the Lord Jesus Christ hath given such a Character?
A69777But is this the case of the most of men?
A69777But it is not said, To an Horse only, but to a company of Horses: Why to a company of Horses?
A69777But let us a little wistly consider wherein the sweetness of the Word lieth; what maketh the Bible to be sweeter than another Book?
A69777But the meaning is pardon me, remove the guilt of my sin from me; but is this enough for this holy Man?

A69777But why to an Oil poured forth?
A69777But will some poor Soul say?
A69777But will some say, is not this as hard to be discerned as any thing else?
A69777But will some say, what should, what can we do to uphold our communion with Christ and to maintain a sense of it?
A69777But you will say what can we do toward it, is not the Spirit of Christ free, as the wind, which bloweth where it listeth?
A69777But you will say, How shall we know that Christ hath thus loved us?
A69777But you will say, are these things in our power?
A69777But you will say, how shall we know this, whether Christ be our chief joy?
A69777But you will say, is not manifestative love promised?
A69777But you will say, were there such a beauty, such an excellency in Christ, why should not every rational man enquire after him, and love him?
A69777But you will say, what need these words?
A69777But, will some say, If they have had experience of the Loves of Christ, why should they yet desire them?
A69777By their fruits you shall know them, do men gather grapes of Thorns; or Figs of Thistles?
A69777By way of Explication, I shall enquire, what is meant by pleasant?
A69777By way of Explication; the only Question is, What Flock, what Shepherds are here spoken of?
A69777Can a man be a Member of Christ, and a Member of a Harlot?
A69777Can not he give Eternal Life?
A69777Can not he give the Soul a righteousness wherein the Soul shall another day stand before God, and not appear naked?
A69777Can not he give the Soul the pardon of sin, and sense of that pardon, which produceth that peace which is past all understanding?
A69777Can this Soul say, Behold thou art fair my Beloved, yea pleasant?
A69777Can we create to our selves Doves Eyes?
A69777Can we say, and say it, cordially, he shall lodge betwixt our breasts?
A69777Can you be rich in clothes, and habits, and rich in good works also?
A69777Canst thou be merry, canst thou play foolish Soul who sinnedst to day?
A69777Canst thou make him afraid at a Grashopper?
A69777Canst thou not hear him reproached, but that his reproaches fall on thee, thy blood riseth, and thy heart is troubled?
A69777Canst thou say this?
A69777Canst thou think that Christ who is the fairest of ten thousand, should kiss the with the kisses of his mouth?
A69777Certainly these terms ought to ravish our hearts, and to affect them with in expressible admiration; and to whom doth he say thus?
A69777Christ commendeth the Cheeks of his Saints bedewed with tears, and given to the smiters for his sake, how beautiful saith he are thy Cheeks?
A69777Christ hath Loves for us, why should there be found in our hearts, or ways, any hatred to, or opposition against him?
A69777Christ is preparing new measures of grace for, giving out new measures of grace to me?
A69777Christs Companion, and a Pot companion?
A69777Cleanse thou me from secret faults, there he beggeth for pardoning love, will this satisfy this holy man?
A69777Come( saith the Woman of Samaria) and see the Man that hath told me all things that I ever did, Is not this the Christ?

A69777Consider first, How little reason there is for you to be offended?
A69777Consider how unreasonable a thing it is, that thou shouldest trust to the word of a man, and distrust the Word of a God?
A69777David crieth out, when wilt thou comfort me?
A69777David did so: His Eyes failed, while he said; When wilt thou comfort me?
A69777Diabolical suggestions are another cause; what strange and horrid impressions do the best of Gods people find?

A10933And yet in their iollitie who haue such apparance of hope, and so great confidence in their estate, that it shall continue, as they?
A10933And yet what a rare instrument did he make him, to worke the greatest deliuerance for his people that euer was heard off to be wrought by a meere man?
A10933And yet what is lesse thought on?
A10933And yet who is he that sheweth foorth this meeknesse and wisedome?
A10933And yet who knoweth not, that these serue vs here only in this temporall life?
A10933And yet, Oh what a sweet libertie it is thought to be, to inioy fellowship with such?
A10933Another thing note we here, how soone and earnestly they inquired who should deface their Baal, and strippe him of his ornaments?
A10933Art thou the man( saith hee) that appeared to the woman?
A10933As Abraham said; I saw that the feare of God was not in this place, and therefore what trustinesse is to bee looked for to me of men?
A10933As alas who seeth not what waies there are to bring this about?
A10933As first, how many soules doth an ignorant, idle or scandalous Minister destroy and cause to perish?
A10933As for such, let them crie out of vnfaithfulnes till they be weary, who will pitie them?
A10933As here may be seene, where Abimelech for his great promises, was repaired and cleaued vnto: but what got they in the end who did so?
A10933As if he should haue said, I saued your liues, you sitting at home with ease, what reason haue yee therefore thus to come against me?
A10933As if he should haue saide, haue I not cause to be here?
A10933As indeed what punishment can equall that sinne, which ouerthroweth all ciuill societie and( the sinewes thereof) religion itselfe?
A10933As on the contrary, when there is warre or persecution, Oh what feare and danger is there?
A10933As they finde it, who will not be held from marrying in Popish kindred, and with persons well knowne to bee vncircumcised?
A10933As who beholding Lamech in his furie and outrage, and hearing the terrour of his words, would not abhorre him and his qualities?
A10933As who saw, that mightie Pharaoh, Sisera, and the Midianites here spoken of, were like to be brought to such a downfall as they were?
A10933As, who almost, can be so suddenly come vpon, but he hath a shift in readinesse?
A10933But alas how raw and rude, yea what bunglers are men in the trade of all trades?
A10933But alas what commeth of the most of these his corrections and sharp dealings with such?
A10933But alas, as for the common sort whereunto shall I liken them?
A10933But alas, what care is there had of this?
A10933But alas, who beleeueth our report, till he see it verified?
A10933But although these are dangerous errors( as who can say lesse of them?)
A10933But as for good examples, where shall we finde them?
A10933But could they preuaile?
A10933But did he escape as cleerely then, as before?
A10933But did not our Sauiour shew them their fault, so as they saw it?
A10933But did they make warre with either of both?
A10933But did this present terror so worke in these?
A10933But hee being one of the cursed nations, how could they( ye wil aske) promise him mercy?
A10933But how much more cruell are they who murther many soules for want of due foode?
A10933But how soone was all his honour laid in the dust, and his ioy ended with most bitter anguish and torment?
A10933But how, and where lay the strength to effect this?
A10933But if they had attempted any such matter against him, as to make him infamous, as hee made himselfe, would he not streight haue reuenged it?
A10933But if this be, is it all?
A10933But in all this, what allowance haue they from God, or libertie to do so?
A10933But it is otherwise with vs; for we, for the most part, first serue our selues( what though in doing things that are lawfull?)
A10933But let vs examine the words: Are Zeba and Zalmunna in thy hands alreadie?
A10933But oh faithfulnes, how precious and much to be desired art thou?
A10933But oh man, is this the way for thee to procure to thy selfe compassion from others, if thou shouldest fall so, and hadst the like need?
A10933But oh what might be said of this argument?
A10933But oh, at what a rate would most men buy the lengthening of their miserie?
A10933But oh, had it not been much better for such to haue admitted counsell before, against an irrecouerable mischiefe?
A10933But oh, how slow and dull are we in taking hold vpon any such thing as might stay vs, quiet, resolue, and comfort vs?
A10933But oh, what a mercie of God was this to them, that the Midianites were held in all this while?
A10933But put case thou escape this plague from men, is there not a God who can bee cruell with the cruell, as well as froward with the froward?
A10933But put the case there be some excellencie in him that boasteth: doth boasting beseeme such a man?
A10933But she that will deale so with her friend, namely her husband, what, thinke we, would such an one doe to her enemie?
A10933But shortly after, how should they haue done( when Nahash came vpon them) if that despised fellow( as they accounted of him) had not holpen them?
A10933But some will aske perhaps, Why?
A10933But some will aske, Might not God raigne ouer them though hee had also?
A10933But some will aske, What then shall we doe to such?
A10933But some will obiect: What is this to vs, who abstaine from many wiues and are prohibited by law such licentiousnesse?
A10933But that men liuing in the Church should shew such brutish ingratitude, who should beleeue it that sees it not?
A10933But the Figtree answered them, Should I for sake my sweetnesse and my good fruit, and goe to aduance me aboue the trees?
A10933But the Vine said vnto them, Should I leaue my wine, whereby I cheare God and man, and goe to aduance me aboue the trees?
A10933But their disposition is, to run on head to bee set on gadding, rouing,& c. And wherefore stay or waite they?
A10933But then, oh what an inuentorie makes hee of his seuerall losses?
A10933But though there might much more be said of this point to the like purpose, yet who beleeueth these things?
A10933But to whom are good people commonly daintiest?
A10933But we neede not wonder at that; for what reason doe such professe to yeelde of their doings?
A10933But what answere heard he?
A10933But what better fruit might be looked for, when Gods ordinance was broken?
A10933But what came of it?
A10933But what came of it?
A10933But what did the Lord?
A10933But what manner of euidence giueth hee?
A10933But what of this some( perhaps) will say?
A10933But what other fruite was to be expected at their hands, who came ready armed to trie the matter by force?
A10933But what remedie?
A10933But what shall I say of this nation of ours?
A10933But what should wee doe( yee will aske) when God giueth vs such a wealthie and a comfortable outward estate?
A10933But what then?
A10933But what was this in respect of that which she requireth; namely, that all stand forth in it together?
A10933But what will not such aduenture, as are set vpon mischiefe?
A10933But when it was tasted of them, what gall or wormewood was euer like bitter vnto it?
A10933But where are these to bee found almost among the better sort?
A10933But where did God require virginitie to be inioyned to any children by their parents?
A10933But where is this to be seene?
A10933But where might one make an end of this discourse?
A10933But where should he learne it?
A10933But whether is it better( as hee in the history answered) to raise vp a new, or to bury the old Gentrie and Nobilitie?
A10933But whither might a man goe in this argument?
A10933But who could haue thought, that you would hereafter, saith the Lord to them, haue reuolted from me?
A10933But who could perswade them to doe otherwise before?
A10933But who is in fault?
A10933But who is warned by others woe?
A10933But who seeth it an absurd vnseemely thing in the wealthy, to play the Lords and controllers ouer the baser and poorer sort?
A10933But who seeth not( euen in this) Gods indifferencie?
A10933But who watcheth to take this opportunity hereunto, but letteth it passe rather through sloth, worldlinesse, frowardnesse,& c?
A10933But who would thinke, that so many should consent together so boldly to maintaine a false matter?
A10933But why did they so?
A10933But why doe such hinder the course of their Ministerie?
A10933But ye will aske how that appeareth, that we may rest perswaded of it, seeing it may bee doubted of as well as of any other part of the storie?
A10933But yet for all this is one of a thousand( thinke we) of such as he was perswaded to repentance in the time of his iolitie?
A10933But( alas) who finds that grace in the strength oftentatiō who sought it not before?
A10933By which we may also see, that God alloweth wealthy men to occupie and prosper in their calling; for why?
A10933Call yee this loue?
A10933Can a rush grow without mire?
A10933Can any of vs draw from the head, any influence of grace, if wee will be singular by our selues, or separate our selues from our brethren?
A10933Can they( will they, nill they) resist the motion of the ship wherein both saile?
A10933Consider then what an odious thing is that, which causeth such odious effects?
A10933Contrariwise, what is it that makes a man count good men odious?
A10933Dauid would haue builded God an house, then the which who could haue gone about a better thing in all mens account and iudgement?
A10933Did I euer promise thee( saith he) that no aduersitie should betide thee?
A10933Did he not so to Iphtah?
A10933Did not God effect it without these?
A10933Did you not call vpon me at other times, and were heard?
A10933Doe they not embrace each other as Ioab did Abner, in their armes, when they goe about their pot- companionship?
A10933Doe we not hang downe the head and faint, and say within our selues, this crosse will be our vndoing?
A10933Doe we not see that among men, one periured, or a forger, is disabled from euer bearing any witnesse, against or for any, in publike court?
A10933Doe we say, It must be thus, and is expedient for vs?
A10933Doe wee not see that the weather, or a little sicknesse, disabling a man to worke, causeth complaining?
A10933Doth not God set a brand both vpon them and their cursed fruit?
A10933Doth not treason taint euen the blood of the traitor, so that( euen when he is loyall) he goeth for no better?
A10933Doth the foote enuie the eye because it seeth, or the eye the foote because it goeth?
A10933Eight yeeres sore bondage, with the discommodities and irksomenesse that accompany it, for a little liberty to liue at their pleasure?
A10933Else why should it not be the case of all aswellas of some?
A10933Enuie, what?
A10933Euen as he said to Gedeon here, doth the Midianites oppressing of you seeme impossible to be auoided?
A10933Euen so, doe wee not daily see the flourishing estates of men turned to most desolate decay?
A10933Euen so, to come to our selues, aske thy conscience what makes thee feare?
A10933Excellent is that saying of the Lord to this purpose in the Chronicles: The Aethiopians and the Lubims, were they not a great people?
A10933First, seeing wee thereby prouoke God against vs, for God is the auenger of such things: and what is our life, if God be against vs?
A10933For a parent to lye, raile, sweare in the hearing of his children?
A10933For as the Apostle saith; How can we call vpon him, in whom we beleeue not?
A10933For as the Lord saith in the like case by his Prophet; O people how shall I intreate thee?
A10933For as the Wise man saith; Two are better then one; if one lie alone, how should he be warme?
A10933For by what right can we else claime any place in his house, otherwise then as strangers?
A10933For do such as are but wormes, looke to haue the Lord at commandement?
A10933For else what other thing is it, then as the common prouerbe speaketh, namely a building of castles in the ayre?
A10933For else, what should be the priuiledge of a godly man in respect of other, both in life and at death?
A10933For example, how duly come they to Sermons and to the Lords Supper?
A10933For example, who had better successe then Haman?
A10933For except they haue learned their languages, they can not speake to each other, but by an interpreter?
A10933For hath not he commanded them?
A10933For how would these here haue done, if Iphtah had vsed them as they did him?
A10933For if the father first begin with his children, how shall his seruants looke to escape?
A10933For if they desire to heare it be well, what a prophanenes is this to desire that Gods rule were crooked, so their doings be streight?
A10933For if they repented at this time, why did they not bring forth fruits of amendment?
A10933For if this be true in the greene tree, how much more in the withered?
A10933For if we doe well, who( as Saint Peter saith) shall feare vs?
A10933For is there almost any place left for amendment?
A10933For oh death how vnwelcome art thou to a man that hath laid vp no better treasure then transitory?
A10933For seeing they quarrelled with Iphtah, and threatned him so, what wonder if they grew to disgrace the whole familie of which he was?
A10933For so the Prophet Ieremy complaineth; Doth a man fall, and not rise againe; or goe out of the way, and not returne?
A10933For this the Lord was sore displeased with them, and what maruell?
A10933For though none might liue happilier then they, yet who( for the most part) doe lesse looke after it?
A10933For to vnderstand it disiunctiuely thus,[ It shall be the Lords, or I will offer it] what sense can it haue thus?
A10933For was it not a point of courage for a woman to set vpon so valiant a Captaine, as Sisera was?
A10933For wee being by the commandement of God to relieue them, what pleasure should wee take in plucking from them?
A10933For what a pride was in them, and to what had it been like to haue growne, if God had let them alone, and suffered their worke to goe forward?
A10933For what else,( for the most part,) is to bee learned in such seruice?
A10933For what had hee done?
A10933For what if a dogge had first met him?
A10933For what ioy or comfort is like to that which ariseth from a good conscience?
A10933For what is more irkesome, then continually, night and day, lying or going, to haue thornes pricking our flesh?
A10933For what profited it then otherwise to see them?
A10933For what shall all help of man be to them, if God be against them?
A10933For what though at the last cast many a man renounces the old courses of vngodlines, and repents him, yea and is ashamed of his doings?
A10933For what though he held her off with a lie?
A10933For what though he was asleepe?
A10933For what though hee told her not that which hee ought not to doe, must he therefore hate her?
A10933For what though they were striken with such a feare, when they heard of the armies of their enemies?
A10933For when Ahashuerosh abandoned Haman, what stead did his wife, friends, or former fauour stand him in?
A10933For when it comes to particulars, what doe men?
A10933For wherein standeth our happinesse, and whence haue we our chiefe cause of reioycing?
A10933For which cause our Sauiour saith; Feare not him who can but destroy the body: but feare him that can cast body and soule into hell: I say feare him?
A10933For who are they, that hauing sinned, they should scorne to beare the shame of it?
A10933For who can so stedfastly belieue, as he ought, and hold constant therein?
A10933For who doubteth, that the deare seruants of God are much heartned and helped forward thereby?
A10933For who had bin liker to haue first come foorth to meete him then she?
A10933For who is able to reckon vp how many waies God hath to visit, astonish, and terrifie men for their sinne?
A10933For who is ignorant that such an estate can not be good?
A10933For who seeth not that it is an easie matter to bee at peace with strangers, with whom a man hath no dealings, neither commeth oft in their company?
A10933For who shall resist him?
A10933For who will put precious liquors in a broken vessell, hauing proued it to be vn ● t for vse?
A10933For who would haue thought( though by windes, wet, and drought they might haue lost their fruites) yet that they should haue been spoiled this way?
A10933For why did shee so, but to serue God therein, as she was perswaded?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For why?
A10933For( alas) what pleasure should we take in seeing euill fall vpon our brethren, when we might haue held it from them?
A10933For( as I said) they haue lost their credit: they haue often falsified their oathes,( for how should a common swearer auoid common periury?)
A10933Furthermore, it was well answered by Ioash, Let Baal plead for himselfe: meaning, if he can, what need you?
A10933Gilead abode beyond Iordan: and why doth Dan remaine in ships?
A10933God hath deliuered into your hands the Princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to doe in comparison of you?
A10933Haman was hanged vpon the gallowes: who readeth it not with ioy, rather then is grieued at it?
A10933Hath my kindnesse been thus requited of you, that you returne me euill for my good will?
A10933Haue they not gotten, and they diuide the spoile?
A10933He complaineth in his time thus of the people: Wherefore do you lay out your siluer, and not for bread?
A10933He considered that his seuentie brethren might be like to hinder and resist him: and therefore what did he?
A10933He saith as much daily to these; and who can then pitie them, if they will not be warned?
A10933He seekes to be King, and how many sinnes doth he adioyne, to the effecting of it?
A10933He that loueth father or mother, more then me?
A10933Herein saying with good Leui; Who is my father?
A10933How base, and what a by word doth many a mans vncleannesse make him?
A10933How can a man shift and vse bad courses to maintaine himselfe, and yet( in truth) say, he beleeues God will prouide?
A10933How cleerely saw he his owne follie in grudging at their poore happinesse, or rather daintie miserie?
A10933How did Salomons excessiuenesse in this kinde, defame all his other excellency and gifts?
A10933How farre was that from the practise of our time?
A10933How many and great promises had Dauid of the kingdome?
A10933How many good people doth an vngodly Magistrate grieue, discourage, and make faint in good duties, and flesh the vngodly?
A10933How many haue made their account all these waies that I haue mentioned, to haue their will fulfilled?
A10933How much more if they themselues had sinned?
A10933How much more to flee to the other aduerse partie, I meane the tents of the vngodly?
A10933How shall such be brought to be conuicted, that so they may relent and amend, who can not endure to be accused?
A10933How shall this bee, if the people hold off and pleade libertie to take and refuse what they please?
A10933How shamefull also was it for Saul to shew such wrath and reuenge in the presence of Ionathan?
A10933How should Iob haue answered it in his affliction, if hee had vsurped ouer his vnderlings, being in prosperitie?
A10933How then come yee vnto me now in the time of your tribulation?
A10933How truly is it said of many good parents, Their children are vngratious, as they tell Samuel to his face?
A10933How vile did sinne make that traitor Iudas?
A10933I meane of them that sailed with him?
A10933I meane the vngodly?
A10933I meane their liues vnstained, and their consciences pure and good?
A10933I say, if with heart and voice wee did thus praise God, as well for them, as for those that are past, what a goodly sight were it?
A10933If God be so gracious to his children when he seemeth to frowne; then how sweete and pleasant is his amiable countenance?
A10933If I see the world generally disposed to coldnes, loosenes, and luke- warmnes; shall I presently repent me of my zeale and forwardnes?
A10933If Pauls aduice( as ill a Pilot as he was) had been reiected to the end, what had become of them that should haue scorned to be beholding to him?
A10933If a man be absent but seuen yeeres from his acquaintance, Oh, how will they say, hee is changed?
A10933If bread were needfull also, what necessitie is it that both their meanings must needs be about the same particular?
A10933If he spake this of man in generall, what would he haue said particularly of the cruell man?
A10933If hee had meant so, what needed he to haue redeemed me at all?
A10933If it be be not fit for sacrifice, it shal be the Lords: How should it be the Lords?
A10933If it bee asked, why then is hee afterward so highly commended for his faith?
A10933If one day spent and taken vp in a godly life bee sweet, what were many, may the whole life, if it were passed therein?
A10933If that which she did, being but one person, and a woman, was to be accounted a singular fauour of God( as who can deny it?)
A10933If things succeed not with him, whē he goeth about them in the best manner, that is, the latter of these two; What then?
A10933If this bee the fruit of bare sloth and neglect, how much now of contempt and wilfull sinning against knowledge?
A10933If this verifie not the saying,[ God resisteth the proud,] what doth?
A10933If thou knowest what this meaneth, or beleeuest that which I say to thee, what wouldest thou not giue to be healed of this intolerable paine?
A10933In all which are there not many difficulties, feares, and doubtings, which arise in the minds of carefull and tender Parents and gouernours?
A10933In stead of this dealing wee see the beautie of truth and faithfulnes, without which, how can men liue one with another?
A10933In the bringing to passe Gods promise to Ioseph in his dreame, what a long time was it before it was effected?
A10933In their bondage and misery, who would haue said, that it could easily, or in short time haue been remoued?
A10933In their sense, did I say?
A10933In these words[ goe crie to your gods,& c.] Doth God( thinke we) bid them goe and sinne?
A10933In which and all others S. Iames teacheth vs what to do: Is any man afflicted?
A10933Indeed it is more noisome and furious, if it bee accompanied with enuy, therefore Salomon saith, Who can stand before enuy?
A10933Indeed we say, and in words seeme to pray otherwise, as in the second and third petition; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done: but who admitteth it?
A10933Indeede hee requireth a further matter of vs, euen that wee serue him in time of affliction also: but is this likely, when wee doe it not in peace?
A10933Iphtah here was prouided for: But how?
A10933Iphtah then answered vnto the Elders of Gilead, Did not yee hate me, and expell me out of my fathers house?
A10933Is Christ diuided: Is his body subiect to dismembring?
A10933Is it because there is no Oliue in the forrest, that thou exaltest thy selfe?
A10933Is it meet that we should tempt God in such a manner, and that wee should not beare the marke of it about vs in our flesh, or in our consciences?
A10933Is it not so?
A10933Is it not therfore the great goodnesse of God, that one deuoureth not another?
A10933Is it not time then that God should make them feele that power of his in displeasure, which they will not acknowledge by teaching?
A10933Is not a soule of much more value then a body is; nay then a world?
A10933Is not hearing, prayer, a good action?
A10933Is not her younger sister fairer then she?
A10933Is not such dealing apparent dishonestie?
A10933Is not the gleaning of grapes of Ephraim better then the vintage of Abiezer?
A10933Is not this enough to perswade vs to make God our Factor and Aduocate to pleade for vs, and bring about our matters?
A10933Is not this lamentable, when we might liue comfortably, enioying our health, peace, liberty, and welfare with Gods good liking?
A10933Is not this odious?
A10933Is not this the people that thou hast despised?
A10933Is this the fruite of sinne, and the good that it bringeth to the committers thereof?
A10933Is this to cheare( and not to grieue rather) the heart of God and good men?
A10933Is this to prouide things honest before men?
A10933It is hard to say, what good might be done thus?
A10933It is manifest by the signe, that Gods will was to reiect them: that God would not perswade them by vs, and then( alas) how should we perswade them?
A10933It is true, that both these are said to haue gone against Amalek, but what is that to this purpose?
A10933It was Gods wil that the eleuen Tribes should fight against Beniamin: but were they persons for their true repentance fit for that businesse?
A10933Know ye not brethren( saith Iames) that God hath called the poore of this world to be rich in faith and good works?
A10933Likewise, who would haue said that well nigh the whole city of Samaria should haue been drawne to receiue Simon Magus his sorceries?
A10933Look vpon Dauid, how he reuenged the indignitie which Hanun offered his seruants?
A10933May we not say now, there is a truth in those words, Roll thy waies, or cast thy care vpon Iehouah, and he will giue thee thy hearts desire?
A10933Mens relapses from God are dangerous and frequent, and their repentances rare and few: how scape they then?
A10933Mightest thou not haue been quiet and merrie, as other of Gods seruants be, if thou haddest obeyed the Lord?
A10933Moses when hee should be sent to Pharao, to carrie the people of Israel out of Egypt, how did hee complaine and disable himselfe?
A10933Must it therefore needs bee with a whip of so many strings, and were there none meete to see execution done, but they that had no measure?
A10933Must they not soone be forced with old Barzillai for very age to giue ouer, and to say, Can we discerne betwixt good and euill?
A10933Nay rather, haue I not sent this euill, that thou mightest therein haue good proofe of my loue toward thee, in vpholding thee therein?
A10933Nay what gained they not rather?
A10933Nay, did hee not reuenge it in the sequell?
A10933Nay, how infinitly did he gaine?
A10933Nay, while they sought much, what did they not lose of that which they had, euen to their very liues themselues?
A10933Nay, who can shame them as they will themselues for their sinnes?
A10933No man putteth new wind into old vessels: No man punisheth a Frenchman by English law: for why?
A10933No, no: these are wearisome and vnwelcome: and why so?
A10933Not vnlike in this to him, that seeing himselfe and his hoste in perill by thirst, murmured, saying; What?
A10933Now answere mee, haddest thou not been voide and rid of this terrour and tast of hell, if thou haddest auoided and resisted thy sinne?
A10933Now if God spared not the Angels, and our first parents, who were innocent before that their fall, what may other offenders looke for?
A10933Now if the best be subiect to these failings, what shall be said of the worst?
A10933Now if this appeare thus often times euen heere in this world, how much more at the comming of the solemne and great day, when God shall iudge them?
A10933Now in this so weighty a case what do we?
A10933Now then to this common obiection, why God doth not enrich so his faithfull ones in this latter age?
A10933Now therefore the Lord God of Israel hath cast out the Amorites before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possesse it?
A10933Now to such as demand what they shall doe to them who vexe the godly, and rage against the Gospell?
A10933Now what great prerogatiue had they by such answeres from God about that particular, more then an earthly benefit?
A10933Now what makes it so difficult a thing as it is?
A10933Now what shall wee say to this?
A10933O Iuda, how shall I entreate thee?
A10933Oh a little intermission from the paine of the stone, the anguish and extremitie of the gowre, or the like diseases, how doe wee price it?
A10933Oh how doth God recompence into their bosome in full measure heaped vp and running ouer, vnto such?
A10933Oh how fearefull is this?
A10933Oh how many had there been before?
A10933Oh how many may witnesse the same?
A10933Oh how should it grieue vs to behold it?
A10933Oh if it were thus in townes and places, what an heauenly order should we see in stead of boldnes, prophanenes, and loosenes in all ages and estates?
A10933Oh men thinke, their children can spie nothing amisse in them, they may sin by authoritie, and shall they stand in awe of their children?
A10933Oh modesty and bashfulnes, what seemly& comely ornaments are they, euen where conscience is as yet wrought by the word, but wanting?
A10933Oh then how fearefull is it to be a wicked man?
A10933Oh therefore how happy a thing it is to enioy such?
A10933Oh what I haue obserued and seene in this which I now speake of, and that not in one or two?
A10933Oh what a difference was there betweene Samson when he was himselfe; and betwixt his disguised nakednesse which his sinne caused?
A10933Oh what good might be done in this time of peace, as the Churches did find in the Acts?
A10933Oh what heauinesse tooke hold of him, euen from and by him who was his ioy and most deare vnto him?
A10933Oh what multitudes are there of such in our age?
A10933Oh what occasion doth the common sort take to recompence euill for euill?
A10933Oh what proofe haue wee seene of that which I say, as former ages haue done also?
A10933Oh what were wanting here, if there were faith to beleeue them?
A10933Oh who shall heale thy barrennes?
A10933Oh, how little thought he, or thinke we, that we shall euer commit them, before wee begin to tamper with odious and fearefull sinnes?
A10933Oh, say men, In the daies of our forefathers, what plentie, what seasonable times, what happie liuing there was?
A10933Or, if we still beleeue the word of God, how can we say, God will slay vs?
A10933Otherwise, by what reason doth he now shake them off, and send them to their Idols, whom they had serued?
A10933Our Sauiour asked Peter but once, Whom sayest thou that I am?
A10933Our latter works should be better then our former: but how rare is this to be seene, no not in the better sort?
A10933Peter answers; Whither shall we goe( Lord) if we forsake thee, who hast the words of eternall life?
A10933Quid hoc rei est?
A10933Quid hoc verbi est?
A10933Serue rather the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for why should wee serue him?
A10933So consider how deare Absolom was to his father Dauid: and when word was brought him of his death, how heauily did he take it?
A10933So that if hee should looke straightly what is done amisse, who should be able to stand before him?
A10933So that if the Lord our God hath cast him out, and giuen his land to vs, commest thou in who hast nothing to doe with it, against vs to possesse it?
A10933So the late miscreants, I meane the powder- traytors, how boasted they of their deuice, when it was almost at the vpshot?
A10933So these Ephramites, how recompenced they Gedeon for his labour and paines?
A10933So to behold and view the creatures and workes of God, which all may doe, what great matter is it thought to be?
A10933So wee haue learned to beleeue, and to speake, The Lord is my light and saluation, whom shall I feare?
A10933So, how can any of vs in our need, doe as they did, but we must looke for the like answer from him?
A10933So, who are neerer ioyned together then theeues?
A10933Surely no wonder, if they regard not at all, whether it be good or bad they doe, but runne to their obiect, as the fish to the baite?
A10933Th ● sending him to the campe of the Midianites so nakedly and vnfurnished, what could it promise in likelihood and outward shew, but deadly danger?
A10933The Prophets and Apostles for their painfull prophesyings and trauels in preaching, what reward found they?
A10933The angry man, when hath he done?
A10933The contrary folly the Apostle to the Romanes taxeth; what fruite had ye of those things whereof yee are now ashamed?
A10933The first, that hee would not expell these nations for them: and what then?
A10933The long visitation with plague, which hath swept away many thousands, what are the most part the better for it?
A10933The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattesse; Why is his charet so long a comming?
A10933The one asketh, who will shew vs any good?
A10933The one( after his fashion) goes about it: but how?
A10933The riotous, ill company keepers, and such as giue ill counsell, how many doe they spoile?
A10933The same I may say of many other: For why?
A10933The sunne to giue heate and light daily to cherish the creatures, what a great fauour of God is it, as common a matter as we make of it?
A10933The vse of this is, to reproue them who will say: What?
A10933The which, who should not be ready to beleeue, being so boldly auouched, and that by a King?
A10933The whole Church is as a ship; in which if there be one Ionah, what tumult makes he?
A10933Their shamefull boldnes is likewise to be marked by the words of Ioash here, saying; Will ye plead for Baal?
A10933Then Gaal, the sonne of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech?
A10933Then Manoah said, Now let thy saying come to passe: but how shall we order the childe and doe vnto him?
A10933Then Zebul said vnto him; Where is now thy mouth that said, who is Abimelech that we should serue him?
A10933Then said he to Zeba and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew as Tabor?
A10933Then the men of Ephraim said vnto him: why hast thou serued vs thus?
A10933Then the which what is more absurd?
A10933Therefore Salomon speaking of such a woman, saith of her thus: Who shall finde a vertuous woman?
A10933Therefore how many may we see and heare of, who are fearefully taken away from all?
A10933Therefore if other men will be blind, shall I put out my owne eyes?
A10933Therefore next to our communion with our Lord Iesus himselfe, what sweeter meditation haue we then of our fellowship with his bodie?
A10933Therefore though anger be not euill of it selfe, yet the Lord iustly challengeth Ionah, saying, Doest thou well to be angrie?
A10933Therefore what sense can there bee in it to take it so, that hee would offer it to perpetuall virginitie, if it were not fit for sacrifice?
A10933Therefore what shall such doe?
A10933Therfore they said one vnto another, who hath done this thing?
A10933These things are commonly seene: but who beholdeth Gods iustice therein?
A10933They dare not sin grossely, and so long they think all is well: but when they are about good actions, they are soone ouer- shot: and why?
A10933They that made others afraid with their very countenance and looke, behold, they may bee troad vpon by the meanest, that were abused by them?
A10933Thirdly, in that he setteth out himselfe, as though hee should say, who is firter for your benefit then I?
A10933This I say of them: but how vnbeseeming is it, that a beleeuer should haue so much as a tang of this strong vnbeliefe in his deepe sorrowes?
A10933This if it were beleeued, were able to make our liues comfortable?
A10933This reason God vsed heere, and the people were conuicted thereby, and yeelded, and confessed themselues guilty: For why?
A10933This she weth, that not all that doe some duties, doe them readily; but either for finister respects or by halues: as he in the Gospell?
A10933This was no small matter that he offered, but marke why?
A10933Thou foole, this night thy soule shall bee required of thee, then whose shall those things be, which thou hast prouided?
A10933Thou wilt aske, how shalt thou know that God doth reward thee so?
A10933To clothe the poore naked members of Christ, thinke we?
A10933To such we may say: Is he not much beholding to you the whilest?
A10933To whom a man might say, Where is now that tongue of thine, which so lustily bragged of faith?
A10933To whom he said: what haue I now done, in comparison of you?
A10933True it is, that the law of man stoppeth much disorder: and how could men inioy any safe and peaceable dwelling without it?
A10933True; till the victorie had been gotten: and then who but themselues had foiled the Midianites?
A10933Tush, saith Sheba, who is Dauid, and who is the sonne of Ishai?
A10933Vpon these promisses Iphtah concludeth with an interrogation, asking them wherefore they were come to fight against him?
A10933Was all their life little enough to feed and clothe their bodie, and thinke they( vpon so short a warning) to prouide for their soule?
A10933Was it like they would stand debating and reasoning long with him, who came with a preiudicate and resolute minde to the contrary?
A10933Was not this as a man would haue it?
A10933Was there a shield or speare seene among the forty thousands of Israel?
A10933We may say truly, where and when doe the wicked make an end?
A10933We ought therefore to forgiue them: but what?
A10933Were hee not a monster of men that should offer but the one halfe of this vnto vs, that Samson did to himselfe, as here may be seene?
A10933What are we then to think, when we heare that God is angry?
A10933What businesse will not the housholder lay aside on the market day?
A10933What contempt was cast vpon Demas, when he had forsaken Paul?
A10933What difference in this point, will ye make betwixt these and such, as to whom affliction is euer vnwelcome and intolerable?
A10933What dislike and wearines hath there been one of another?
A10933What doth idlenesse of minde worke, and the wandring after other loathsome lusts and desires?
A10933What effectuall and sauing knowledge of God is there to be found, saue only heere and therein a few persons?
A10933What excessiue and vnsatiable seeking after the worlds good is there, as in other ages?
A10933What if thou be that odde person whom God will set vpon the stage?
A10933What labour is there bestowed in the translating of the Scriptures and other writings, which else might haue bin spared?
A10933What needed he haue feared the law( which is not made for the iust, but the transgressor) if he had holden himselfe content with his owne?
A10933What needed here any shifting, any stirring, any plotting?
A10933What pleasure haue men, saue in eating and drinking, and following after their delights?
A10933What should I speake of particulars, which were infinite?
A10933What solemne, kind, and ioyful beginnings haue many of them had?
A10933What then, some( perhaps) will say, it is lawfull for vs to enioy the earthly benefits of God?
A10933What then, yee will aske is to bee done; if groning vnder mens burthens of sinne and punishment haue no good effect?
A10933What then?
A10933What then?
A10933What then?
A10933What thinke we?
A10933What thoughts( thinke we) are like to arise in him in such a case?
A10933What was their gaine, if it be laid with their losse?
A10933What was this else, but a bold presuming in great blindenesse of that which hee apprehended not, and a very derision of the prophecie?
A10933What will they not promise, vpon condition of release from the present woe they are in?
A10933What wonder then if this contagion and pestilence hath euer since, and still doth cause the like disorder in the places where it rangeth?
A10933What would they haue done( thinke we) if they had alreadie enioyed it also?
A10933What( saith he) did he thinke I would turne my face for him, or be put downe with words?
A10933What?
A10933What?
A10933When it falleth out so,( for it falleth not out alwaies so) what a cutting of their combe is it, and a pulling downe of their proud stomacke?
A10933When our Sauiour saw many offended at his doctrine, and departing away, he asked Peter in the name of the rest, Will ye also goe away?
A10933When we see sweete seasons( say they) and good haruests, and all to our liking, what should we do but blesse God, and be thankfull?
A10933Whence is it, that many a man of great possessions, can yet finde no sauour nor rellish in them, especially if any affliction or trouble be vpon him?
A10933Where are all the great persons become, that possessed the earth not long agone, with all the glory thereof?
A10933Whereas alas, how shall they spend their whole time well, who spend their best seasons badly?
A10933Whereas our eye seeth not the worse, because anothers seeth better: how much lesse if in another kinde we see as well?
A10933Whereas who knoweth not, that euery foole can easily runne himselfe out of breath?
A10933Wherefore is the weapon ordained, but for a mans defence against his enemie?
A10933Wherefore then are yee come vpon me now to fight against me?
A10933Whether then of the two is more to be desired, a copper ring with a precious Iewell set in it, or a golden with a common peble?
A10933Which caused Saint Paul to vtter these words: Why weepe ye thus, and rend my heart?
A10933Which caused Salomon to cry out, saying: Euery man will boast of his owne goodnesse, but where shall wee find a faithfull man?
A10933Who greater friends then the wicked that conspire together against goodnesse and good men?
A10933Who is Abimelech said Gaal?
A10933Who is so simple as to thinke otherwise, except any should imagine that the meate was like to be set before the Angell, without bread?
A10933Who pitieth Herod eaten vp with wormes, because he would so proudly exceed the bounds of man ▪ and be counted a God?
A10933Who pitieth these men of Succoth and Penuel?
A10933Who seeth not that these were poore engins to batter walles?
A10933Who then cooped them into so narrow a roome?
A10933Who thinks not euery little time bestowed that way, toylesome and tedious?
A10933Whose faith is so highly renouned among the worthies, in the epistle to the Hebrues?
A10933Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds to heare the bleatings of the flockes?
A10933Why did they not giue credit to him, who told them, as he told the rich man in the Gospell, There is no certainty of any earthly thing till tomorrow?
A10933Why did they not rather obey God therefore, who charged them that they should not lay vp their felicity here below?
A10933Why did ye not then recouer them in that space?
A10933Why haue yee done this?
A10933Why is the heart so locked vp, that it can not ioy in any commoditie?
A10933Why so?
A10933Why then did he destroy Baal?
A10933Why was he hanged, and that vpon the gallows, that he had set vp for godly Mordecay?
A10933Why, O thou sluggard, what hath bin a doing all this while?
A10933Why?
A10933Why?
A10933Will an earthly King endure his Ambassadour to be lowred vpon, or abused thinke we?
A10933Will ye know the reason?
A10933Wilt thou then liue without feare euery way?
A10933Wofull experience teacheth, how rare the man is who may truly say otherwise?
A10933Wouldest not thou possesse that which Chemosh thy god giueth thee to possesse?
A10933Yea and how doe they exceed in the other extreame oftentimes, in laying their crosses too neere their hearts, and aggrauating them beyond measure?
A10933Yea, how often is it seene, that a godly Abigail is coupled with a Nabal, and Iob with a foolish woman?
A10933Yes: and so it ought to make vs mourne: but how?
A10933according to the words of our Sauiour, When the sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?
A10933although who seeth not, that it is indeed but one of many, yea of infinite other, which wee receiue?
A10933and also to giue this Bethlite into the hands of these spies, that they might by his helpe easily take the city?
A10933and although the Philistims threatned her, did that proue that he hated her?
A10933and hee who hath got a patent of restitution, or pardon for his fellonie, doth he not forfeit it by a second offence in the like kind?
A10933and how delightfull are his promises and his incouragements?
A10933and in comming to the word and sacraments, what need haue we of this vprightnesse?
A10933and many other are wasted, and haue their estate changed, as if they had neuer inioyed it?
A10933and so picking matter of quarrell out of a good turne and benefit?
A10933and the one a reprobate, the other chosen?
A10933and they summoned to appeare to their arraignment?
A10933and to appoint him how hee shall rule the world, dispose of things, and serue their turnes?
A10933and to make them their felicitie, as if God had appointed no better things to be attained and come by?
A10933and to this end that he will giue them shoulders, I meane courage to beare their so great a burthen?
A10933and what is stronger then a lion?
A10933and why hath God giuen courage to man, but that at such a time, I meane of warre, and other necessity, it might be put to vse?
A10933and yet by Mordecay( who was of no place to stand with, or to crosse him) how was his ioy quailed by him?
A10933and yet what sweet meditation haue Gods seruants thereby to their comfort?
A10933and yet which is more, twentie yeeres to be in this estate, how should they be able to abide it?
A10933and your labour without being satisfied?
A10933are they not suddenly taken( and as vnprouided) within few daies and houres of their death, as they were many yeeres before?
A10933are we stronger then he?
A10933as sorrow for ioy, feare in stead of godly courage and confidence, shame for credit and good report, with many such like?
A10933as the Psalmist speaketh: that is, match them to the full?
A10933because( while hee was aloft) he made himselfe the terrour of the Church for his crueltie?
A10933but euen for such troublesome times as these here were?
A10933but euen to worse then nothing?
A10933but if hee touch me, shall I then curse him to his face?
A10933but resolued with themselues for the time, in their feare and weakenesse, that they could not escape condemnation and vtter abiection from God?
A10933by another, who is not sufficient?
A10933can wee heare any more the voyce of singing men and women?
A10933did he not striue with Israel, and fight against them?
A10933do men gather Grapes of thornes, or figges of thistles?
A10933doe they thinke by auoiding the burden of the lawfull wife and children, to escape the blot of vnlawfull libertie, euen reprochfull whoredomes?
A10933doest thou thus teach in season and out of season?
A10933doth God deale with him as before?
A10933especially, that such a change might haue been seene?
A10933euen as the Angell saith to Gedeon about conquering the Midianites, haue not I sent thee?
A10933euen he that can not suffer the winde to blow vpon vs, hath sent it?
A10933euen well nigh twentie yeeres: and how vnlike, and in the meane while, how many difficulties were raised and set in the way to the frustrating of it?
A10933feare God then, and doe well: for if ye doe the thing that is good, who shall harme you?
A10933for if Gods anger be kindled but a little, how happie are all they that feare him?
A10933for if he haue a controuersie with men, and be against them, oh what terrors are euery while like to fall on them, till they be confounded of them?
A10933hath the Lord brought three Kings together and their armies to destroy them?
A10933haue we any taste in that we eate, or in that wee drinke?
A10933how could that be?
A10933how fierce is his great wrath?
A10933how happy might they haue been thereby?
A10933how little doth good teaching, or the diuerse examples of Gods iudgements vpon sundry others, preuaile with them?
A10933how much more when the liberty is wholly interdicted?
A10933how much to be accounted is that faithfulnes, which requites loue with kinde dealing?
A10933how shall such a base fellow saue vs?
A10933in so much as they bee iustly reproued for making them their Paradise; and that by the words of our Sauiour[ are these the things ye looke after?]
A10933in wife, children, wealth, fauour?
A10933is hee not the sonne of Ierubbaal, and Zebul is his officer?
A10933is not the Lord gone out before thee?
A10933is this thy feeding, thy watching, thy planting and watering?
A10933it is as an arrow shot through the liuer?
A10933may not the Lord trie his faith and patience, by so crossing him?
A10933might not Adonibezek haue said as thou?
A10933must wee euer be in seruing of God?
A10933nay are they not worse and worse who liue in these latter daies, and haue heard or seene the iudgements of the former times?
A10933nay doth not one follow anothers course to condemnation daily, and from age to age?
A10933nay many a professour of good hope, though he haue repented, yet what a brand of contempt and disdaine doth hee carrie about him to his dying day?
A10933nay, doth it not impeach his worthinesse?
A10933nay, how greedily would many haue fastened vpon a matter of small valew, being offered them, as the kingdome here was to him?
A10933nay, what madnesse is it?
A10933no though it were but for an houre or a day, with the comforts belonging thereto?
A10933or Sampson to so many Philistines?
A10933or how many other take example by them to be any whit the wiser?
A10933or if he say the word, who shall call it backe?
A10933or if they shall but despise Gods prouidence toward them, as the Pharisees are said to haue done, how( thinke we) is this like to worke vpon him?
A10933or is thereby flayted and feared from hauing any thing to doe with such?
A10933or made wise to lay a better foundation of their amity and friendship?
A10933or now to haue spoken conditionally?
A10933or thinke we that we shall eschew and decline danger?
A10933or through folly venter to dash our foot against the stone, which we remember hath hurt vs?
A10933or to feare base and sinfull man( whose breath is in his nostrils) more then God, who can cast body and soule into hell?
A10933or to feed their hungrie bellies?
A10933or what example haue we thereof in Scripture?
A10933or what right haue yee vnto it?
A10933or what shall I doe vnto thee?
A10933or who by such examples can teach others wisedome, till they haue brought it and paid for it dearely themselues?
A10933or who can so denounce and pleade against them as themselues?
A10933or whom doth he make members of his Church, but them and those to be dearest vnto him, who are not counted meete to liue on the earth?
A10933or will yee saue him?
A10933saying, where shall we find a man like this man fitted for this worke?
A10933seeing it is manifest, that the malitious Iewes resisted, and came against him in all places: but who might withstand God, when he would haue it so?
A10933shall I receiue good things from Gods hand and not euill?
A10933shall I serue him for aduantage?
A10933shall not two be in the field, or at the mill, and yet the one receiued, the other forsaken?
A10933shall we aduise them to shake off their feares, and plucke vp their hearts against them?
A10933shall we now thinke God will kill vs?

A10933whereas God alloweth them to liue, and bee well maintained by their labour?
A10933whereas Saul came to his kingdome easily& without trouble?

A89411Ah brethren, how will you lift up your faces before the Lord then, who searcheth the hearts?
A89411Ah but you will say, I have no such appetite to the Feast, to hunger and thirst, and is there any invited to come to it, but such as have an appetite?
A89411Ah dear friends, had not this truth need to be prest upon you?
A89411Ah dear friends, if Jesus Christ should now come, would he not find many of us thus doing?
A89411Ah dear friends, if the Lord would but single out any one of us, and tell us we are the men, what agonies would it put us into?
A89411Ah dear friends, it may be some of us can tell the time when for fear of men we have sadly miscarried, is it better with us now?
A89411Ah dear friends, what mean our loathsom conversations then?
A89411Ah where are bowels, Brethren, towards one anothers souls?
A89411Ah, dear friends, what are we that are strangers from the Covenant of Promise, as we are all, until he entereth into a Covenant with us?
A89411Ah, vve little knovv hovv close it sticks to us, and hovv indiscernably it insinuates it self upon us?
A89411Alas all will not raise lazy sinners, we may cry our hearts out, but who believeth our report?
A89411Alas brethren, how soon will the world, and cares of it overcharge you?
A89411Alas brethren, we are withering every moment; if we have not waterings every moment, what would become of us now?
A89411Alas you will say, how shall we know we have this oyl of grace in our hearts?
A89411Alas you will say, what should we do to keep our selves from this sleeping ▪ since it is so dangerous?
A89411Alas, I know not whether I am or no: if not, what then meaneth all thy stuffing thy bed with groans?
A89411Alas, brethren what pitiful mistakes are these?
A89411Alas, but I am the most vile unworthy wretch in the world, O you know not what I am; alas, is it for such an one as I to believe?
A89411Alas, do we not all do so?
A89411Alas, do we not see in our days, what fearful work Satan hath made among Professors?
A89411Alas, hovv many of us have surfeited of the vvorld and the comforts thereo ●?
A89411Alas, how far short are we in this?
A89411Alas, how soon can he dispel them, consume them with the brightness of his glorious appearance?
A89411Alas, how soon is the sweetest frame lost?
A89411Alas, what is this to that fearful sentence, I know you not: If Christ disown us, what is it if all the Saints should own us?
A89411Am I an enemy to thee?
A89411And Hezekiah his pride in the business of the King of Babylon, how it tended to humble him so much the more; do we find it thus?
A89411And can it be but you should reflect now, and enquire of the Lord, and of your own hearts?
A89411And did not Joash reform much in Jehoiadah ● time?
A89411And do they now bethink themselves of going to Christ?
A89411And do you suspect your selves to be hypocrites?
A89411And for the children of Believers; how can they come to this pitch, you will say, how can they grow ● o such a height of growth?
A89411And if they will say they may be saved, can it be without the invisible grace?
A89411And if we can or do love the Saints in whom the Image of Jesus Christ is, alas may we not do it more fervently then we do?
A89411And is he not the same yesterday, to day, and for ever?
A89411And is it not better I should perish by corruption or temptation in doing the work of Christ then not?
A89411And so Sodom, when the Sun arose upon it, what fairer ground of hope?
A89411And so for desire, have you thus desires toward the Lord and his waies?
A89411And so for other things: alas, is there a day that goeth over our heads, but there is use for Faith?
A89411And so it will be uppermost, what it is that lies highest in thy soul, which thou liftest up, Is it this?
A89411And the young man in the Gospel, had he not good desires?
A89411And then for Jesus Christ dost thou close with him?
A89411And then, is it not the more admirable, is not Christ more to be admired?
A89411And therefore our Saviour deals plainly with men?
A89411And therefore we neglect our duty, and so for any other; now alas, how often are we guilty in this kind?
A89411And this question should come thick upon the heart of that Church there, which was the Candlestick in which God placed this light; why was it so?
A89411And truly for us in this Land, how long have we had the Sun of righteousness risen on us?
A89411And what is that?
A89411And whence doth this appear brethren?
A89411And you that are souldiers, and have been in this Condition, hath it been comfortable to you when you have been so beaten up?
A89411Are not others safely landed, who were assaulted with the like opposition, and therefore why should you despond?
A89411Are there not many souls in the presence of God, that can set to their seals that this is a truth in Iesus?
A89411Are they not blessed souls that shall enter, that now all their distances between them and Jesus Christ shall be done away?
A89411Are you upon your beds still?
A89411Art thou enabled so much as to bud, to think a good thought?
A89411Art thou in good earnest in this business?
A89411As Hazael, Is thy servant a dog?
A89411As Lot in his sleep, what would he not do?
A89411As for Adultery, or whoring, though men be not guilty of the outward act, is there not heart- adultery?
A89411As that of their faith, how low may they grow in faith?
A89411As the Lord Jesus is willing to have thee, art thou willing poor trembling soul to have him?
A89411Be of good chear man, remember this, hath he not promised it, that he will arise upon them that fear the Lord with healing in his wings?
A89411Be sure you choose not his graces, or any thing but himself primarily, many would have him, but what is it they mind or eye?
A89411Beside, who can pardon our sins?
A89411Besides, is not thy life as uncertain as anothers?
A89411Besides, may not the Lord Jesus say to us all, I have somewhat against you all, in that you have left your first love?
A89411Brethren, how do benummed limbs that have no feeling nor strength, gather strength, but by rubbing, and chasing, and exercising of them?
A89411Brethren, if so glorious a building as the temple of God be intended, will every rough stone, a rough- hewn- Christian be fit to lay in that building?
A89411Brethren, search and try, are we come to this pitch, or how far are we gone herein?
A89411Brethren, what do you mean?
A89411Brethren, what is it the better to have the hand and the foot out of the snare, and the heart be intangled?
A89411Brethren, who would do so?
A89411Brethren?
A89411But alas, you will say, how can we do this?
A89411But alas, you will say, is this in our power to help one another to grow?
A89411But beside this, dost thou find thy heart moved, made willing indeed to part with sin?
A89411But can any perish that in truth give up themselves to his work?
A89411But consider, how many sweet experiences hast thou had of his love?
A89411But did this son of impudence( who dares thus affront Gods Minister) thus escape?
A89411But first thèn, for that of sin and our lusts, hath thè Lord broken the yoak of them, set thee free when thou didst groan under it?
A89411But how and when doth the Lord discover hypocrites to themselves?
A89411But how shall we know then, whether our trouble for sin be right or no, or whether we be hypocritical therein?
A89411But how then?
A89411But if this be but a marriage feast for Christ and the Bride, What are those Guests then that are invited to it?
A89411But if thou canst not be admitted to the pipe, Is it not a comfort that thou shalt be admitted to the fountain, to the sea?
A89411But new for the oyl in the vessels, what is that?
A89411But now for the wings of the Lord Jesus, what are his wings as he is the Sun of righteousness?
A89411But secondly, what is meant by the Sun of righteousness?
A89411But suppose that thou dost not grow in these so much, how is thy understanding?
A89411But the second is the main thing, how far we are said to be freed from the Law of God, and how we are not freed from it?
A89411But then, What this Cry is, that is here spoken of, will be the subject of a further enquiry?
A89411But this is not all: Secondly, Because the growth of others doth much depend- upon our growth: are they not as the bones to the body?
A89411But what is all this Brethren to what our blessed Saviour hath taken down for us?
A89411But what might be the occasion of so sad a desertion?
A89411But what then do the Ministers do?
A89411But what then, doth the Lord Jesus hold us to himself whether we will or no?
A89411But wherein is Christ said to be a Sun?
A89411But who may say to God, what dost thou?
A89411But why doth the Lord then discover Hypocrites before the day of the discovery of all things?
A89411But will the Lord contend for ever, will he be alwaies wroth?
A89411But you will ask me here, What it is to trim these Lamps that is here required?
A89411But you will ask me, what should we do to trim up these Lamps of ours?
A89411Can Belshazzar read his sentence on the wall, the hand- writing, but with terrour, his knees knocking one against another?
A89411Can a creature- Christ be a sufficient Christ to give light, and life, and healing to poor sinners?
A89411Can a poor condemned Prisoner look on the Iudge, think on the Tree on which he must be hanged, on the fire but with fear and trembling?
A89411Can a slave bring forth any other then a slave?
A89411Can the Children of the Bride- chamber mourn while the bridegroom is with them saith our Saviour?
A89411Can we not many of us set our seals to this truth?
A89411Can we sufficiently wonder that the earth should be founded upon nothing but onely his word of command?
A89411Can you with comfort go forth to meet Jesus Christ, open to him when he knocks?
A89411Canst thou say, Whom have I in heaven but thee,& c?
A89411Come to me all that are weary and heavy- laden, and I will give you rest: what then?
A89411Consider then, Is it thus with thee?
A89411Consider then, have we not declined?
A89411Consider, wast thou thankful for what thou hadst?
A89411Could Satan think you ever have brought Lot to that wickedness, if he had not been fast, in a deep sleep?
A89411David was loth to be the Kings Son in- Law; Seemeth it to you a light thing, to be 〈 ◊ 〉 Son in- Law to a King?
A89411Dear Lord Jesus, how many of us loyter, and take up our rest short of thee?
A89411Dear friends, Consider seriously now, You think you follow Jesus Christ, and your Lamps are burning?
A89411Dear friends, could this be, think you, without her heart dwelt upon this consideration?
A89411Did Judas suspect himself?
A89411Did it amaze the Lord Jesus?
A89411Did not Judas act as well as the rest, following Christ up and down, going forth to preach the Gospel as well as the rest?
A89411Do not men upon a worldly score take abundance of pains in casting up their accounts?
A89411Do poor sinners eat, and drink judgement to themselves, if they come without grace to the Supper?
A89411Do we do our work Brethren?
A89411Do we know how soon the Bridegroom will come?
A89411Do we not know men after the flesh?
A89411Do you believe this, that you are lyable as well as others to sleep?
A89411Do you think this can be comfortable to you?
A89411Dogs also, who are they, but such barking, biting, foul- mouth''d, false Teachers?
A89411Doth he not see the designs of Satan and Antichrist, and all their fetches and slights to wind in themselves at the back door?
A89411Doubtless we have occasions before us every where; do we not know many lazy, sleepy Christians?
A89411Drawing near his end, his sister said to him, Are you in charity with all the Lords people, though differing from you?
A89411Eighthly, If thou grow not in bigness, dost thou grow in sweetness?
A89411Eighthly, Wicked men grow worse and worse, and why should not we grow better and better?
A89411Eleventhly, What enemies are they then to Jesus Christ and to Mankind, that would pluck the Sun out of the Firmament?
A89411FAllor?
A89411Fifthly, From the warming of the Sun; how cold and frozen are those Northern parts of the world, because remote from the Sun?
A89411Fifthly, because of the unconstancy of our hearts, if we be a little affected with a truth at one time, how long doth such a frame continue upon us?
A89411First Use then will be to reprove us all of this folly as many as are guilty; how many poor graceless souls hear this Word this day?
A89411First then Brethren, If a man may go so far and yet fall short, What will become of them that never set foot forward toward heaven to this day?
A89411First then, What is meant by them that fear the Lord?
A89411First then, What is meant by this unreadiness?
A89411First then, hereby God hath the more service: Alas, what service hath a Father or Mother from a little child when it hangs upon the breast?
A89411First, Dost thou find that hereby thou never gettest thy heart in a better frame?
A89411First, The Marriage here, what is meant by that?
A89411First, the Lord he is able to break all the bonds: if he will deliver Peter out of prison, what shall hinder?
A89411For Helps, that will be the next enquiry what we should do to grow in Grace; since it is so necessary a work lying upon us all?
A89411For the Application then of this Doctrine: How sad is their condition, if a man reach to all this, and yet fall short of heaven?
A89411For the opening of it, What is meant by the unreadiness here supposed?
A89411Fourthly, How much honour hath God by a circumspect conversation?
A89411Fourthly, Then others are unready; And who are those?
A89411Go from the head to the heart, and see, is there not a stone there?
A89411God hath given some charge of souls, how little have they done in it?
A89411Had not the poor Woman in the Gospel spent all upon the Physitians, before she came to Christ?
A89411Haply something of this nature kept off the Prodigal: Is it not more shame to do sin, then to acknowledge it when it is done?
A89411Haply, he is confident of himself, as in the place of Job; and who almost are men of more flourishing hopes then the hypocrites?
A89411Hast thou been a Prodigal, and hast thou known this by experience?
A89411Hast thou ever been upon serious examination, and dost thou make God thine end, thy happiness?
A89411Hath he not stretched out his hands all the day long?
A89411Have we not received much mixture of error in these erting times?
A89411Have you done any thing to your further sitting for heaven?
A89411He is in one mind, and who can turn him?
A89411Heaven is the inheritance of the Saints in light, and is he fit for it that is even going out in darkness?
A89411Here we might discuss the question, how far we are delivered from the Law, and how far by Jesus Christ?
A89411His children being brought, he said to his eldest, Will Hester be a good child and serve the Lord?
A89411How can they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A89411How come souls trow to be at such a low and cheap rate, that the safety and welfare of the Body should be preferred before them?
A89411How comes it to pass that your Churches, your Families, your hearts are so choakt with tares and weeds?
A89411How cometh this to pass?
A89411How did he go up and down on foot until he was weary?
A89411How did he thirst after the salvation of souls, and how anxiously inquisitive after the success of his labours?
A89411How did the Talent increase but with the using?
A89411How difficult is it to beat a man off his creature- confidence and refuges which he hath for his soul?
A89411How distempered in hearing publikely, and in conferences with the Church?
A89411How do the Birds each morning chant and chirp, when their little spirits are revived by the Sun rising on them?
A89411How easie should this make, and how should it sweeten the severest of Gods dealings with us, to awake us?
A89411How empty and vain in discourses, and unprofitable?
A89411How glorious is an Angel, that the very sight of him was an astonishment to John?
A89411How hang these things together?
A89411How knowest thou, thou sleepest?
A89411How many have been awaked by this awakening word, the terrors of the Lord against them that sleep?
A89411How many of us have a dead palsie, past feeling, commit all uncleanness with greediness?
A89411How many such opportunities doth the Lord put into our hands, and we have no heart to them?
A89411How may we know whether that be right or no?
A89411How much better are the wholsome severities of Religion, then the fulsome satisfactions of the flesh?
A89411How much more have Sinners to do?
A89411How often are the labouring bees assaulted with a tempest whilest abroad, and bringing home provisions against the ensuing winter?
A89411How often do dashing showers fall upon mellifluous Hives, and the fairest flowers that grow in Gods Garden?
A89411How often doth our Saviour rebuke his Disciples for the littleness of their Faith?
A89411How seldom are dying men new- born?
A89411How terrible is a sudden storm upon the poor Mariners?
A89411How uncertain this coming of Christ to you, to call for you, is?
A89411How uncomfortable for us?
A89411How will this( Brethren) darken the beauty and glory of all things here?
A89411How will you lift up your faces before him?
A89411How wonderfully doth sin unbefit us for duty?
A89411I I can not say with the Church, I sleep but my heart waketh; O what shall I say, or what shall I do?
A89411I am of Paul, and I am of Apollo, and I am of Cephas, and I am of Christ; are you not carnal?
A89411I am sure your condition is sad, that a growing sensible Christian would not be in your case for a world; and are you not sensible of it?
A89411I believe you must needs then sometimes have a terrible apprehension of wrath approaching, why will you not search?
A89411I do not believe but many of us are convinced, and what shift can we make to smother our convictions?
A89411I do well to be angry, yea even to the death: what could Gain almost have said worse then he did, in this fit?
A89411I have been( as it were) checkt, What, wilt thou not venture thy self upon Jesus Christ?
A89411I have spoken both, but will you remember this as a duty?
A89411I hope it is so with some of us; Are we not then sensible?
A89411I may not descend to particulars: but do not your hearts smite you for looseness of spirit towards God?
A89411I think we may all of us, or the most of us, plead guilty here; have we our times, Brethren, we set apart for this work of self- searching and tryal?
A89411I will but add one word more, and that is this; It is no indifferent thing, whether you close with this invitation or no?
A89411I, but what was there laid up for eternity?
A89411If Balaam dye his own death, and not the death of the righteous, what a miserable creature will he be?
A89411If Sampson had not rested upon his own strength, would he when he had so many warnings, have committed himself again, to the Lap of his Dalilah?
A89411If a man should have made a judgment of David in his backsliding; what would he have thought of him?
A89411If a tree be out down, is there any hope it should grow up again, in that of Job?
A89411If death had come upon poor David, while under that guilt in the matter of Vriah, and in so deep a sleep, how sad had his condition been?
A89411If ever Peter were solicited to deny Jesus Christ again, do you think that the remembrance of this, O how dear it cost me, was not an awe upon him?
A89411If he spared not the Angels in their pride, will he spare thee?
A89411If his grace be sufficient for thee in all conditions, what matter is it?
A89411If it be thus, that such as upon whom the Lord Jesus is arisen, they are in such a growing condition, then what shall I think of my self?
A89411If such as take all this pains for heaven fall short, what is like to befall them that never set foot forward towards it?
A89411If the Law was so terrible in the giving, what will it be in the execution?
A89411If the Lord had not kept the Vineyard, better then men have done, what had become of it?
A89411If the Moon be so glorious, what is the Sun?
A89411If the oyl in the vessel could fail, then the Light in the Lamp might fail, but it fa ● ls not; and why?
A89411If there were a great outward reward, how would it then prevail with me?
A89411If they have occasion to use all, and little enough sometimes: What will become of me, who have so little, like a grain of Mustard- seed?
A89411If this be a truth, that they that have most grace, have none to spare; what a condition then are such as I in, who have so little?
A89411If we shall not in any wise be cast out of Christ, what need so much ado?
A89411If you have such affections, do you not, many of you, wallow in your filthyness?
A89411If you should see a Virgin espoused to a man, and should from that day forwad never hold up her head, but walk heavily, what would you think?
A89411If you would have riches, you shall have all things with Christ, how shall he not with him give us all things?
A89411In Christ thou hast all the Promises, Yea and Amen; now how many such promises are there?
A89411In one word for all, to stop the mouths of these clamours, the Lord Jesus hath said it, and will he not be as good as his word?
A89411Indeed I doubt brethren, these times of prosperity to the Church, bury more Christians alive, then any days that ever we saw: why now, are we ready?
A89411Instance, What may be the cause of my streightness and deadness now?
A89411Is it not midnight with some of us?
A89411Is it not sin that turns away the face of God?
A89411Is it not the same spirit surely that works so mightily among us, whereby men would commend any thing for its novelty?
A89411Is it thus with us brethren?
A89411Is not all this unkindness?
A89411Is not this a blessed Condition?
A89411Is not this an unspeakable freedom to have all the guilt of our sins that ever we commtited taken away?
A89411Is not this cause of great love to him?
A89411Is not this folly, to shoot so high and aim so low?
A89411Is not this the way to grow fat, to increase?
A89411Is there any sin higher then the imbrewing their hands in the blood of Jesus Christ himself?
A89411Is there not corruption of Judgement?
A89411Is this Naomi?
A89411Is this nothing?
A89411Is this the top of all, that we might be found in him?
A89411Is this 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, to walk uprightly, exactly?
A89411It grieved Peter when Christ came over so often with it, Lovest thou me?
A89411It is God that maketh it to grow( Brethren) and he is free, and rich in his influences; and what if he make it not to grow for a time?
A89411It is sad brethren, to consider what a frame the hearts of Gods own people will be in sometimes; and what guil there is?
A89411It is so much here, that the Apostle admireth it, behold what manner of love is this, that we, poor worms, should be called the sons of God?
A89411It is the work of your whole lives, and why may it not be the work of our whole lives?
A89411It is true, but yet consider brethren, wherefore do we love Him, but because he loved us?
A89411It is true, we have the name of Christ upon us, but what have we else?
A89411It is worth the noting, that all the Disciples were more forward to doubt their conditions then Judas, for they all asked, Is it I Lord, is it I?
A89411It may be thou dost not find, poor sinner, such a strong desire, such a breaking of soul for longing; but hast thou a Will?
A89411It may be you have some knowledge, yet alas, where is your affection?
A89411Know we not the pleadings of many at the last day, Have we not preached in thy name, and in thy name cast out Devils?
A89411Knowest thou not O drowsie drone, that thou hast a great deal of work to do, and but a little time to dispatch it in?
A89411Lord, am I ready for this coming of Jesus Christ, or am I not?
A89411Lovest thou me?
A89411Master Murcot: Tell me true, how is my Pulse?
A89411May not every mans heart Seal to this, that the Love of his Espousals to the Lord Jesus, the love of our youth, those springing affections are gone?
A89411Ninthly, A freedom or liberty from the Govenant of works; What saith the Law?
A89411Ninthly, The Lord Jesus may be compared to the Sun, for that the Sun Giant- like rejoyceth to run his race, and who can turn him back?
A89411No: O they run up and down as men in a trembling frame, O what shall we do?
A89411Now Brethren, consider this, have not some of us had seven devils, have there not been seven abominations in our hearts?
A89411Now Brethren, is our zeal and fire more pure, coming down from heaven, even from the Spirit of Jesus Christ, warming our hearts?
A89411Now at the last, when they must come to close with him or never, he should be hidden from their eyes: Is not this a righteous, a severe hand?
A89411Now dear friends, what have you been doing all this while, have you eat and drank in the presence of Christ?
A89411Now how can we judge of this, except we have had a little taste of it our selves?
A89411Now if Christ had not come according to the promise, where had been the truth of God his righteousness?
A89411Now is not this a sad condition, to be under such a hus 〈 … 〉 d as this; and yet how many of us are in this case, and contented so to be?
A89411Now may I not say with the Apostle, you did many of you run well: but who hindred you?
A89411Now saith he, when he was angry with him, Is not Aaron thy Brother?
A89411Now was this a right means, to go to the creature, to the wise Virgins for oyl?
A89411Now whither should we go with empty vessels, but to the fountain?
A89411Now( say his Disciples) speakest thou plainly, and speakest no Parables?
A89411O Brethren, have you not experience of it?
A89411O arise, arise, will such sleepy souls be fit to sing Allelujahs to eternity to God?
A89411O be diligent in improving all the Ordinances for that end, received ye the Spirit by the works of the the Law, or by the hearing of Faith?
A89411O brethren then, where a heart is altogether in sin, what an enemy is it to Grace, and to Christ, as the Author of Grace?
A89411O brethren, Is not this fa ● that an hypocrite may go?
A89411O but some will say, what a Doctrine is this?
A89411O but the Law it works wrath, and works death, and can this then be good?
A89411O but you would say, Alas, what should we do in this case?
A89411O dear friends, how often hath he shaken the rod over thee, and yet hath spared, and canst thou not love him?

A89411O how unfit are we for death, though we have one foot in the grave already some of us, and we do not heed this?
A89411O how will this clear the eyes of an Eagle indeed, one that is gloriously born of heaven, though Owls are blinded by it?
A89411O how would poor Creeples set the best foot forward to come to him, and such as had diseased creatures, Lame, Blind, Palsie?
A89411O if there were but more love in Ministers to people, how would they do more then they do?
A89411O if we could but have our eye ever up to the Lord upon all occasions, as the Psalmist speaks, how circumspect would it make us?
A89411O no: as a strong man he will run his race, and who shall hinder it?
A89411O now the world, all their comforts will not skreen them from his eyes: but what will?
A89411O put that question, have you this oyl?
A89411O saith he, to his Disciples, could ye not watch with me one hour?
A89411O saith the Holy- Ghost, the heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it?
A89411O that the Lord would therefore perswade you this day to consider with your selves, are you ready, or are you not?
A89411O that we could more strongly close with these; with what confidence should we then come to him?
A89411O that we could tell how to set a price upon such a mercy as this?
A89411O then, how can we satisfie our selves, and quiet our Consciences with an ignorance, how it is with us?
A89411O they are deceitful lusts, ● he counsels of sin, the fetches, and tricks, and devices, depths and methods of a sinful heart, who knoweth Brethren?
A89411O they can not l ● ft up their heads, they can not carry a cheerful heart; why?
A89411O what a hurry and confusion and distraction is he in then, and what fruit hath he then of his sleeping?
A89411O what hardness of heart ▪ and what stubborness, and what frowardness of heart there is?
A89411O what powerfull Rhetorick are these loving intreaties, expostulations, the yearnings of his bowels over them?
A89411O what sad work will there be then in thy soul?
A89411O what will it be when the sentence is pronounced against them from the Lord himself?
A89411O which is the first step?
A89411O why should we not labour to exceed the love of our espousals, when we followed so hard after him?
A89411O why will ye die?
A89411O wretched man, who shall deliver me?

A89411Of his fulness we receive, saith the Evangelist: What made the difference between the rest of the Disciples, their profession of him, and Peters?
A89411Oh how sweet and comfortable a condition is it, when the ways of God are well spoken of by reason of any of us?
A89411Or what is it, Brethren?
A89411Or what, can we heal the breaches we make upon our peace by our recidivations when we please?
A89411Or, is the Law death, since sin by this means doth work death?
A89411Paul, O how watchful a man washe, how diligent?
A89411Peter was at as low an ebb as ever poor Believer was; what was become of his profession?
A89411Received ye the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith?
A89411Secondly, Are we grown in understanding?
A89411Secondly, Be sure you miss not an opportunity you might enjoy; do you know where or when the Spirit of Christ will breath?
A89411Secondly, Is that more fruit you bring forth, better then it was before?
A89411Security is the undoing evil in all things; where was the joy of Davids faith when he began to be secure?

A89411Shall Satans Kingdom so increase and grow strong, and shall not the Kingdom of Jesus Christ grow stronger also?
A89411Shall we say the Preaching of the Gospel is not a mercy?
A89411Should the Philippians cast it in Pauls teeth, he had told them often of those unruly masters, that they had heard enough of that?
A89411Sinners, in good earnest, do you think it is the way to heaven to grow worse, and worse, or the way to the Chambers of death?
A89411Sixthly, The reward to the service and bondage of sin, what is it but bondage upon bondage?
A89411So Jonas, What, hath the Lord shut up his tender mercies, hath he taken his leave of me, and will he be gone for ever?
A89411So how lazie and listless are we for divers days bef ● ● e it do appear?
A89411So many lusts, so many wills, and is it not a bondage to be under these?
A89411So that you shall walk in darkness and see no light: will not this be a paying of you home in your own coyn?
A89411So the Lord Jesus cometh and giveth his Spirit, and bids the soul go forth: alas, whether should they go?

A89411Such as Ahab, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?
A89411Suppose you do supect your selves to be hypocrites, how do you make a shift to quiet your consciences?
A89411Surely it is Satan that Lier, that will not stick to contradict the Lord: and what is the devills intent in this think you?
A89411Surely no; must there be nothing wanting of perfection where he would make his power and his wisdom glorious?
A89411Surely the wise Virgins refusing to give, would much more have abhorred this, to sell the Gifts of the holy Ghost for money?
A89411That Ancient could say, and likely by experience, Si dixisti, sufficit, periisti; and may not many of us say so, did we ever get good by it?
A89411That Christ the Covenant is meant, I told you before; but for a reason of this title, why a Sun?
A89411That what we do, we do it in Christ, and for Christ; else what do we differ in our work from the glistering Sinners among the heathens?
A89411The Lord cals brethren, you have the voice of the Turtle, the joyful sound of the Gospel among you: If we awake not, what will he do?
A89411The Lord is a Sun and a shield, and how can he so be, except it be in Christ, as God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself?
A89411The Lords day in the morning the Doctor coming to him, and looking on him, wept, to whom Master Murcot said, How is it with me?
A89411The Question, Whether I should answer the peoples Call to be Teacher?
A89411The dreadfulness of the thing; if you be surprized would you have Jesus Christ find you with your ornaments laid aside, find you naked?
A89411The fourth thing is, what is meant by the wings of this Sun of righteousness?
A89411The night brings a heaviness and burthen along with it to the body, but the morning, when the Sun ariseth, how doth it enliven and lighten?
A89411The people of God they have need to make use of this time: have we not work enough to do, before we can expect to be glorified with him?
A89411The sad effects in our own Families: what sad work is there many times, and all for want of watching?
A89411The second thing will be to open the terms and First, What is meant by coming?
A89411The second thing, Is the quod, what this inlargement, or freedom is that is here promised?
A89411The third then, What is meant by the arising of this Sun of righteousness on them?
A89411Then methinks brethren now we should be putting the question to our own hearts now, whether we be ready or no?
A89411Then when Christ is coming, the Bride- groom cometh; doth he not find many running then to a prayer, then to a Sacrament?
A89411There be many that say, Who will shew us any good?
A89411Therefore take your choice brethren, I set life and death before you, and consider of it, How will you escape, if you neglect this great salvation?
A89411They fell short that came to Canaan, what will become of you that never came out of Egypt?
A89411They still have the root of the matter, though it may be under ground, and hid from their eys, and is not this a blessed thing?
A89411Think of it brethren, with your selves; how stand your hearts affected, in respect of this day?
A89411This how strange will it prove to many a poor creature?
A89411This seemeth to cross the Scriptures; are not the Saints bound to communicate one to another?
A89411To consider, How much misery and sin, thou dost hereby avoid?

A89411Was it not this which cast Solomon into such a sleep?
A89411Was not this the Prodigals case?
A89411We, by Birth, what are we?
A89411Well then, surely if Jesus Christ hath promised it, as you see he hath, will he not be as good as his word?
A89411Well then, wil you this day retire your selves, deal effectually with your hearts?
A89411Well, but what is he to do?
A89411Well, consider this now, do we thus grow, even by opposition?
A89411Well, now when the Lord meeteth him going to Damascus, If he had called for him out of the world, had he been ready for him?

A89411What maketh death so terrible to poor sinners when they come to it, but the judgement which followeth it?

A89411What, is heaven nothing in our eye?
A89411What, is it possible that any man should make such heavy moan, as some poor souls do for Jesus Christ, and yet not be willing to have him?

A89411Yea say they, we can: and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?
A89411Yea, are they not more purely receptives then we?
A89411Yea, even in the best, until he overcome us with his loving- kindness; and is not this a thing worthy to be bewailed?
A89411You have his promise, which usually among honest men, is as good as their Bond and we build upon it: And what do you make of Jesus Christ?

A89411and are they any better?
A89411and at such a time as that was, when our Saviour had most need of their watching wich him?
A89411and because we can not apprehend how it should be conveighed, shall we therefore deny it?
A89411and can any unclean thing enter into heaven?
A89411and can we have such hard thoughts of Christ our dearest Saviour?
A89411and did not God give therefore Pastors and Teachers to dispence the Ordinances for the edifying of the body?
A89411and do we thus requite him, even to slight it, never to mind it?
A89411and do you believe it is a part of folly, the folly of the wise Virgins, to sleep?
A89411and doth he not laugh them to scorn, the Lord shall have them in derision?
A89411and hast thou no minde to be set free?
A89411and have we sold our selves to do evil in the sight of the Lord?

A89411and how uncomfortable when they are evil spoken of by reason of any of our uneven walking?
A89411and how you carry it in your Families, in your Shops, as well as in the publike altogether?
A89411and if it be good, why rest they in a form and neglect it?
A89411and if the Lord Jesus cast us not out when we come, what can?
A89411and if they repent not of it, how should it be pardoned?
A89411and in hearing and speaking his Word, though we do stir up our selves to watch: O how often do vain thoughts run away with our hearts?
A89411and is it not a dangerous disease?
A89411and is it not righteous he should forbear to shine upon your graces, that you should see any thing that is ought in you?

A89411and pitch his love upon me?
A89411and shall I fall down to the Stock of a tree?
A89411and shall our mouths be sealed up, when the Sun of righteousness hath visited our hearts, quickned them, enlightned them?
A89411and shall we judge so of Jesus Christ?
A89411and so here in respect of the favour of the King of Kings; and who is this that doth it, but the exact walker with God?
A89411and such a lively hope, as setteth a working out the scum, the pollution of thy heart more and more?
A89411and that is none of the least diseases: is there not a plague there?
A89411and the same blood shed for sinners, that is held forth in the Lords Supper to the eye, and in the Gospel Preached to the ear?
A89411and then think, if the Lord Iesus had limited his receiving of sinners, that come to such or such a measure, what then had become of thee?
A89411and they added to the Church, that are going out of the world?
A89411and was not Babylon better for them, then to be at liberty, and yet to become slaves to their lusts, to their Idols?
A89411and was there ever any times more fruitful in errour then these are?
A89411and what a folly is it Brethren, to grieve the Lord Jesus, and grieve our own souls, when we might save all this?
A89411and what is envy but a blood- shotten eye, which proceedeth from a heart full of vexing?

A89411and what, doth his father upbraid him with it?
A89411and what, is the body more then the soul, Brethren?
A89411and wherefore are the examples of the Saints proposed to us; their falls, their restoring again, but for our comfort and hope?
A89411and who shall stand when he appeareth?
A89411and why do you not now make sure to close with him?
A89411and why may it not be so, and allowed in this case, as well as in that?
A89411and will he not walk contrary to you?
A89411and will it be Comfortable in the end?
A89411and will not all the world follow that way almost?
A89411and will not men stickle for a way of falshood, if thereby come in their gain and preferments?
A89411and will there be any thing wanting, think you, when he cometh to make his grace glorious, as he doth in the work of Redemption?
A89411and with so much diligence, be casting out their roots in the world; as if they would never be pluckt up, as if their portion were here below?
A89411and wounded the Dragon?
A89411and yet alas, how backward are we for heaven?
A89411and yet did not he submit?
A89411and yet do we not love him accordingly?
A89411and yet how sensible was he of his falling flat, even in the midst of such a rapture?
A89411and yet poor creatures will not be perswaded to come to Jesus Christ: O what is it?
A89411and yet will not be perswaded to be at a little pains with your deceitful hearts?
A89411and young men are like to perish as well as old, if they be not found with oyl in their Lamps?
A89411are not men purely receptives in the first grace, and are not children as passive and receptive as any?
A89411are not our hearts as hard as ever?
A89411are not our lusts as strong and lively as ever they were?
A89411are not the gifts and calling of God without repentance?
A89411are not the most part of us such fools?
A89411are our Lamps burning, our loins girded?
A89411are our hearts enlarged?
A89411are there not pearls in the eyes, when the world is dear to us?
A89411are they not come to cast off all?
A89411are they not in danger?
A89411are they not much worse, who would pluck away our Christ from us?
A89411are they not paid in their own coin?
A89411are they such a delight to you?
A89411are we a free people?
A89411are we not all of us pure receptives in the first grace, and are not infants as purely receptives as we?
A89411are we not as blind wretches groping at noon day, some of us, as ever we were?
A89411are you mortified in any good measure, or no?
A89411are you not secure?
A89411are your hearts so desperately heardned that you have no disquietness seizing upon you?
A89411art thou never wrought up to some sweet frame of heart in respect of faith, and love, and humility?
A89411art thou resolved to sit languishing over an empty bottle and perish, when there is refreshing to be had in Jesus Christ?
A89411as David, what service did he do the Lord while he lay in that deep sleep?
A89411as if he search, who can be concealed?
A89411before thou wast empty, knewest very little; now thou hast a Treasury of knowledge, and thou goest on herein: do we grow in our judgements, Brethren?
A89411bethink thy self in what filth and blood thou didst wallow, before he put off his own comliness upon thee?
A89411blessed in basket, blessed in store?
A89411brethren, how can a Woman that pretends faithfulness to an Husband, if he take her in the very act, how can she hold up her head to him?
A89411but alas, then it is too late: now is it not great Wisdom, while men have the day, to work and walk?
A89411but what a sad disappointment will it be and confusion?
A89411but what is this to the having power over the soul, over the will, the affections, the mind, by keeping them in blindness?
A89411by this interrogation there is implied a paucity of them as in that, Who is there among you that walks in darkness, and seeth no light?
A89411can a man be free in any sense, and yet come into bondage again, and perish afterward?
A89411can a man spare any of his life?
A89411can he cast thee out now for thy defects and deformities?
A89411can that be profitable, whose Praise is of men, and not that whose praise is of God?
A89411can the Shadow be profitable, and not the Substance?
A89411can they dwell together?
A89411can they hinder his course?
A89411can you dye comfortably, hopefully, except you have grace in your hearts, this oyl, this Spirit of grace dwelling in you?
A89411can you enjoy your selves?
A89411can you hold up your heads sinners, when he appears, and look him in the face with comfort?
A89411can you think how poor creatures will hang the head, and be filled with their shame, whether shall they cause their shame to pass from them?
A89411canst thou expect then to grow as much as such an one?
A89411come duties from us, like fire from a Flint?
A89411did Husband or Wife die for us?
A89411did he eve ● break with any poor soul, though never so unworthy?
A89411did his love to us draw him out of heaven to us, and will it not( think you) draw us to heaven to him?
A89411did it cost him an ecclipse of the light of the countenance of his Father, and wilt thou make so light a matter of it?
A89411did not Jehu act in an high manner for God?
A89411did not his soul hate these things?
A89411do not dissemble before the Lord, didst thou ever mourn either Legally or Evangellically?
A89411do they not go to the Church- treasure of merit, to make up what is wanting of their own, and not to Jesus Christ in the hour of their necessity?
A89411do they not trouble you?
A89411do we get ground of them yea or no?
A89411do we not imbrew our hands in the blood of Jesus Christ?
A89411do we not judge them to be so?
A89411do you believe it brethren, that they shall live for ever in the enjoyment of God, or else in unexpressible misery?
A89411do you believe they are immortal?
A89411do you believe you have souls?
A89411do you believe, brethren, that hypocrites shall have the deepest damnation?
A89411do you find the vail doth wear thinner that was upon your hearts, that you begin to behold the Lord Jesus with a more open face then before?
A89411do you know brethren, whether you shall be warned again, called upon again to prepare for his coming?
A89411do you know when he will appear?
A89411do you know whether this night the snare will come upon you?
A89411do you loath it, and your selves for its vileness?
A89411do you not see that young men dye even as the old?
A89411do you think he can see his relation to God in Christ without that light?
A89411do you think he will endure you to enter, if you have not grace to sit with him at his Table to eternity?
A89411do you think thus to impose upon the holy one of Israel?
A89411do you thus requite the Lord, ye foolish people and unwise?
A89411do you wait for it, believe it?
A89411dost not thou sleep thy fast, thy dead sleep?
A89411dost thou find it?
A89411dost thou grow there, abound in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ?
A89411dost thou hate it?
A89411dost thou loath thy ● elf for it?
A89411dost thou not avenge us, and judge our enemies?
A89411dost thou not cleave to the Lord with more full and strong purpose of heart then before?
A89411dost thou not value Christ and grace at a higher rate then before, counting all things dross in comparison of him?
A89411dost thou think that now thou hast served sin so long, Jesus Christ will accept of thee?
A89411doth he look to the thoughts, to a mans ends, the secrets of his soul?
A89411doth he mean you shall repent to morrow, as he saith?
A89411doth he not breath there, and feed there with his people?
A89411doth he not wrong exceedingly in this, as well as in the former; and is not this the very case?
A89411doth not he regard, think you, what your dealings are between man& man?
A89411doth not your heavenly Father take care of you?
A89411doth sin increase our grace, increase even by our falls?
A89411doth the Marigold open?
A89411dung and dross, stones and trash, would you not count this man a fool?
A89411even grace for grace we have from the Lord Jesus, though weak and imperfect; and will he cast out?
A89411every such service and duty he performeth to God; and is not this sad?
A89411for he knew that after his departure grievous Wolves would come in; where hath there been almost, such a spirit as this of Paul?
A89411for how few among us do believe in the Lord Jesus, notwithstanding all this?
A89411for if the truth were known, what is the reason wherefore we need so much ado, why we come not in to him?
A89411for is it not the same Jesus that is held forth broken for sinners?
A89411for it is against them that the door is shut; And then the shutting of the door, what is meant by that?
A89411for what more available to lay a soul asleep then this?
A89411for what sin, what temptation, will not take with a poor soul, when he is in this drousie condition?
A89411for what will make more hast then love?
A89411for when are they more exposed to the rage of Satan?
A89411had not a riddle need often to be put into the water, it will hold nothing else?
A89411had they so much of his presence with them, teaching them, and yet were but of little faith?
A89411had we not need to walk exactly then, to take heed where we tread?
A89411hanging back often, neglecting, shuffling and cutting with God, putting him off with any thing?
A89411hast thou ever believed?
A89411hath he not been as good as his word?
A89411hath he not said, as many as come to him, he will in no wise cast out, and is ● is word worth nothing?
A89411hath he said it, and will he not make it good?
A89411hath the Lord looked upon such as we have been, pitched his love upon the vilest of us, and to make us so nigh to himself, and shall we not love him?
A89411hath this sunk with us?
A89411have not our Lamps burned much clearer then now they do, hath not our light been clearer then now it is, and our warmth been more then now it is?
A89411have they not corrupt natures, and the seeds of all sin in them?
A89411have we for fear of shame come to Christ with Nicodemus by night?
A89411have we made conscience any of us, to ease our selves of any unnecessary incumbrances, that we might wait upon him without distraction?
A89411have we not fearful examples in our own times, how many diligent Christians, as they seemed to be, and yet alas how went they out?
A89411have we not had exercises of faith in such an hour?
A89411have we now more courage?
A89411have you Christ dwelling in you, and transforming and changing you into his image from Glory to Glory?
A89411have you heard his Word and Gospel wherein he is lifted up, as the healing Serpent, so many years, and yet not healed?
A89411have you known him, the power of his death, the power of his life, and Spirit, yea or no?
A89411have you searched, do you know your hearts in this point?
A89411have you so often received the Lord his Supper, the outward part of it, and yet are not healed?
A89411have you the Spirit of Grace and Supplication given to you?
A89411have you?
A89411he feeds on ashes, a deceived heart hath turned him aside that he can not deliver his soul, nor say, is there not a lye in my right hand?
A89411he warned them night and day with tears; what was the matter?
A89411he will heal this: how ready was he when the blind men cryed to his that they might receive their sight?
A89411he would not spare any pains, any travel of soul, that sinners might live; and can you but love him then?
A89411his tears over Jerusalem, when they would not be gathered under his wings?
A89411his voice goeth before him, we have often heard, but have we trimmed our Lamps to this day, are our professions more glorious then formerly?
A89411how Saint- like would they speak?
A89411how are they compared to Virgins?
A89411how are we swelled with pride?
A89411how bitter a thing is it in the end to hypocrites, yea to the people of God in their way, when God opens their eyes to behold it in its colours?
A89411how came it to pass you dropt asleep?
A89411how came they to be delivered?
A89411how can a man pray, when he can not act his faith, nor act his love, nor his zeal, and fervency of Spirit, but all are a sleep?
A89411how can they be, as I may say, made the very standard in receiving the Kingdom of God?
A89411how cold is the hemisphere when the Sun is set for a time?
A89411how dishonourable is this to Jesus Christ, when we will be measuring of him by our selves?
A89411how do we hang back?
A89411how far short do the people of God come of this duty?
A89411how fatal it had proved to himself?
A89411how few of us have this perswasion?
A89411how glad is Satan, and what sport is it to sinners to trap the people of God?
A89411how great and unweildy are our bellies with this?
A89411how gross are the Papists in this point?
A89411how hard a thing is it to buy, as if you possessed not, to use it, as if you used it not?
A89411how hath he lifted up our condition above innocency it self in Adam?
A89411how like may a Bristoll- stone be to a pearl?
A89411how like to a Saint was Judas?
A89411how long doth he tarry, before we open?
A89411how long shall I suffer you?
A89411how many have suffered a great abatement in their zeal, and vigour, and life, and closeness of walking with God by this means?
A89411how many have their Lamps quite put out, that went for zealous Christians, are become meer Atheists?
A89411how many of us have a world of iniquity to subdue?
A89411how much ado hath the Lord Jesus with us to bring us to this?
A89411how much the more need had we to stir up our selves in this respect, considering how many grow worse and worse?
A89411how often do we come to pray, and can say nothing in his presence, can scarce sigh or groan?
A89411how often have we been minded thereof, that we must be actually prepared?
A89411how often in a fit of security have we had Convictions and Checks?
A89411how quickly will the weakest man grow strong, feeding upon the one; and the strongest weak, when he feedeth upon the other?
A89411how sad a loss would it have been, if thou hadst slept away such a season as others have done?
A89411how shall a man tred and keep to the path he knoweth not?
A89411how should I have born that, if my blessed Saviour had not taken it off for me?
A89411how sick of love was Rachel, yea sick to the death for children?
A89411how slowly do we drive?
A89411how strange a thing is it, that men should take such pains to hew out broken Cisterns to themselves that will hold no water?
A89411how swift are the beams of the Sun in a moment darted from heaven to earth, and over- spread the whole Horizon?
A89411how valiant he grew for Jesus Christ?
A89411how will it grieve the Lord to see so much grace laid out in vain upon us in a great part, if we be sleeping so quickly again?
A89411how will you hold up your heads, and look him in the face?
A89411how would you hold up your heads before them?
A89411if Jesus Christ find you that profess his name in your blood at that day, what will become of you?
A89411if a foolish hypocrite shall perish, where wilt thou appear?
A89411if a man should see a storm coming that will destroy his house, except he fortifie it, and should not care, were not he a fool?
A89411if he carry fair outwardly, will not this pass the test?
A89411if he would have cast out any, what would become of thee and me, who are the chief of sinners?
A89411if now their righteousness, peace, and salvation had depended upon themselves, where had it been?
A89411if there be some fervor appearing, may we not do it with a purer heart, meerly because Christ hath loved them, who is the beloved of our souls?
A89411if thou touch all he hath, he will curse thee: doth he serve thee for nought?
A89411if we will play with our meat, if we will not fall on when we come to it, if we matter not for digesting it, where Brethren, will the guilt lie?
A89411is he equal, or equals with his Father?
A89411is he not the Amen, the faithful and true Witness?
A89411is he not upright, and just, and true?
A89411is it a favour to be put into golden fetters?
A89411is it all savoury, tending to minister grace to the hearers?
A89411is it better with us then it hath been in this respect?
A89411is it likely we should keep them alway in act?
A89411is it more mellow then formerly?
A89411is it not a trouble to our selves?
A89411is it not all one with him, can he not make children free as well as men if he please?
A89411is it not because thou art held so fast in the embraces of thy darling lusts?
A89411is it not better to disease thy self a little now, then to go to hell in a golden dream?
A89411is it not he that was given to be a light to lighten the Gentiles, to be the glory of his people Israel?
A89411is it not high time to look about us?
A89411is it not in the Ordinances of Christ?
A89411is it not the Lord?
A89411is it not the Sun of righteousness breaking forth on poor sinners that doth it?
A89411is it not the want of Jesus Christ?
A89411is it that we may more advance him?
A89411is it the more love we find from Jesus Christ, are our hearts the more averse from him?
A89411is love our constraint?
A89411is not Satan a lyar, and the father of it, and shall we father a lie then upon God?
A89411is not he wise, and knoweth best what measure is good for us?
A89411is not the Lord Jesus gone forth as a Gyant to run his race among us?
A89411is not the Sun in the Firmament, though he may be clouded from thee?
A89411is not the knowledge of the disease half the cure, if it be curable?
A89411is not their own as dangerous?
A89411is the expostulation of the Lord Jesus; why will you die of your wounds, of your plague- sores?
A89411is the love of women to be compared to the love of Jesus Christ?
A89411is there an hook under every fair baite, and had not the fish need to take heed how she biteth or nibleth, lest she be taken?
A89411is there any but God that can pardon sins?
A89411is there any such imposture in him?
A89411is there no hope for us?
A89411is there no hope of pardon, no mercy for me?
A89411is there not a fulness of light in him; sufficient for us all?
A89411is there not as much fulness now, and is not Christ as free to communicate it now, as then only?
A89411is there not contemplative wickedness?
A89411is there not great difference between feeding upon husks when the kernel is gone, and feeding upon the finest of the wheat?
A89411is there not more to be learned by us all, in this point?
A89411is this forgotten, that thou makest no more of sin?
A89411is this the esteem thou puttest upon it, to fall asleep in the midst of it?
A89411is this thy faith and zeal for me, that thou hast fallen asleep, and slept so long as thou hast done?
A89411is this thy kindness to thy friend?
A89411is thy communication much more seasoned and savoury?
A89411it is not only an unprofitable service, what fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
A89411its according to the heat of the Sun*: do our hearts open?
A89411know this day, there is healing for thee, cast not away thy hope; for so poor creatures are ready to say, is there any healing for me?
A89411let a Father but examine his heart and see, could he do so for his child?
A89411like Watches, with outward motion?
A89411making the Saints their mediatour of satisfaction and intercession both?
A89411many years: you should be Fathers in Israel, and Mothers in Israel, as Deborah was; and is it so with you?
A89411may not the children of the Kingdom be cast out into outer darkness?
A89411may they sit still and take their ease, never trouble themselves more concerning their souls, never care how to walk in well- pleasing to Christ?
A89411may we not set to our seals to the truth of this?
A89411much less then would he do the greatest thing that ever be wrought in vain; alas, who can pardon sins but he?
A89411no healing by this Jesus whom we wounded?
A89411no salvation by this Jesus whom we have made away?
A89411no, not a jot: thou fool this night shall thy soul be taken from thee, and then whose shall these things be?
A89411not as an enemy, but poured out upon us such a stream of love, as we could no longer withstand it?
A89411not one hour wake with me, thou, such a confident man; and yet when it cometh to the pinch, fall asleep?
A89411nothing?
A89411now if faith ● e not upon the wing, what a condition is that soul in?
A89411now if we were under this exacting of the Law, what would become of us?
A89411now, when it is a time to exercise your graces, and to pray if ever you will pray, are you now asleep?
A89411opened to us in Jesus Christ, his bowels of Love all shed abroad upon us?
A89411or Lazarus, because of his?
A89411or are you inclining to it?
A89411or fast to me, did you not bring forth fruit to your selves?
A89411or hath any man a pardon in a box, as the poor deceived Papists are grievously mocked?
A89411or have we never set stroke in it?
A89411or if Jesus Christ had slept as well as they, where had it been?
A89411or if thou bring forth no more in number, is it more in weight?
A89411or if we do sometimes a little, yet to stand out and not to close with him: What unkindness was it in the Jews?
A89411or is it between the will and the will, the affections and the affections?
A89411or that should not sleep, and know they should not sleep, it will hazard their lives: is their sleep sweet ordinarily?
A89411or the Lepers, because of theirs?
A89411or was he too much there?
A89411or what hope hast thou, or canst thou have while it is thus with thoe?
A89411or whosoever cometh to him, might not perish?
A89411our calling and election is not made sure; we do not know what would become of us, if God should call for us: how can his coming be comfortable to us?
A89411pardoning iniquity, transgression and sin; and canst thou comprehend the Glory of God in thy poor narrow thoughts?
A89411prizeth that?
A89411ransom us from the pit and hell?
A89411s 〈 … 〉 it not better for a man to know his wound before it prove incurable?
A89411saith he in one place, where they could not cast out the Devil: And will not God take care of you much more then of Sparrows?
A89411shall sons by adoption think to make bold with sin, and not smart for it in some measure?
A89411shall we see them lie as a prey just ready for the Devils mouth, and not endeavour to stir them up to remove that drowfie frame from them?
A89411so much in heat?
A89411so that heaven and earth is full of thy sighs, and groans, and tears: is it no ● for Jesus Christ?
A89411such a grieving creature to his holy Spirit?
A89411such a mans condition is very dangerous: and is not this the case of our souls Brethren?
A89411such a vile creature?
A89411surely no: when a man sleepeth, and in his sleep is terrified with dreams, how unquiet is he?
A89411that haply thou mightest never have seen again?
A89411that no visible, unclean creature, shall ever enter into the Church of Christ?
A89411that the Vineyard of the Lord Iesus is thus overgrown with weeds; have we not given the Lord rest?
A89411that we are said to be delivered from it, and that sin hath its strength from it?
A89411the Lord help poor weak creatures unbelief in this point, that they may admire it; what, will he admit such a one as I?
A89411the Lord takes no pleasure in your death; and why will ye delight in your own death?
A89411the Shell and Husk, and not the Kernel?
A89411the enjoyment of Jesus Christ nothing to us, that we make no more haste toward him?
A89411the enquiry, Who will shew us any good?
A89411the eye of a holy severe man, how would it awe us?
A89411the heaviness of his soul to the death; must he bleed to death, that we might not bleed to death, that our bloody issues might be stopt?
A89411the rase wherein they had Lamps or Torches; but who hath hindered you?
A89411the soul asleep, and in security, what would he not do?
A89411then shall we appear with him in glory?
A89411then, Doth he call thee?
A89411they are not very ordinary; so again, Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
A89411they had Faith, but it was very little; How long shall I be with you?
A89411this is clear in the very case of the Church in the Canticles; how long did he call, and call again, and wait upon her, and yet she is not awaked?
A89411thou comest behind the Pharisees far enough, and they enter not, they fall short; what will become of thee?
A89411thou wast in an horrible pit, where there was no standing; thou sunkest yet lower and lower: hath the Lord set thy feet upon the Rock?
A89411though you have long had a name to be Christians, yet that hath been all, Brethren, What do you mean?
A89411thy light is come, the glory of the Lord is risen on thee: and who is this but the Lord Jesus?
A89411thy thoughts it may be are wandering and vain, he will heal that; what is it?
A89411time was when you were babes in understanding; are you new men and women, or are you past the state of babes?
A89411to be saved?
A89411to bring a female when he have a male, doth not your hearts smite you for this?
A89411to cry Lord, Lord, and yet go and serve, and drudge for the Devil, as if he were their good Lord; will not the Lord search this out?
A89411to do good, forget not; is not this of a larger sense, then meerly giving a little of our estates to them, if in want?
A89411to keep his foot out of the snare vvhen he walks among them?
A89411to whom shall I turn my self?
A89411try, see whether such considerations as these will not heighten your love to him?
A89411upon what acquaintance shall I do this for you?
A89411walk so watchlesly as we do, to go on to grieve him, as we do some of us?
A89411was my Love and my Communion no more worth?
A89411was not his life dear to him, even to the death sor poor sinners, that there might be a pardon for us?
A89411was there any Grace laid up to carry him through death?
A89411was this his kindness to Jesus Christ?
A89411was, or could this be acceptable?
A89411we are all sick of the leapers disease in the Gospel, ten were cleansed, but where are the nine?
A89411we are poor, imperfect creatures, and therefore can we be alway acting our graces?
A89411we come to hear the Word, but with what affections?
A89411we have fallen, been wounded, wounded his Name, and our own names, and our own souls, and all, because we were asleep?
A89411we might instance in many:( Brethren) are there not eyes full of adultry, like fleams grown over them, which do blind?
A89411we sleep, but though we sleep, Satan never sleepeth?
A89411were not many of the Jews sensible os this?
A89411were not the Sacrifices of the Jews abomination, as if they slew a man, as if they cut off a dogs neck?
A89411were not this enough to lose a Physitian?
A89411were not this horrible deceit?
A89411were there any deadly doubt of their condition, then the Pharisees; and yet were there any more rotten then they were?
A89411were they not men of much knowledge and understanding, able to teach others?
A89411were they the slaves to Satan, and can we be Christ his Free- men by Birth?
A89411were we not much wanting to our selves herein, it would be much more comfortable for us then it is?
A89411what Spiders are we, that can suck venom out of the sweetest flowers?
A89411what a Mediatour were Jesus Christ, and how should the Promises of God in him, be Yea, and Amen, if he could falsifie his own word to his people?
A89411what a sad thing is it that we should thus throng upon Christ, and so few touch him?
A89411what account shall we make, when we come to receive the recompence?
A89411what can move him to give us over?
A89411what can we do less then this?
A89411what can you desire more then this?
