A27575 | And what is there in the world which they can not see by such a glorious, such an infinite light as this is? |

A27575 | But as for others, who are still in their sins, and mind only earthly things, how sad and disconsolate would they be? |
A27575 | But how can these things be? |
A27575 | But the great question is, what it is to be a Saint? |
A27575 | But who is sufficient for these things? |

A17410 | And vvhy wouldest thou be so highly esteemed of? |
A17410 | Did hee not shew mee so much in Baptisme? |
A17410 | For if men loue themselues, what should they desire more then that which tends to make themselues perfect? |
A17410 | For the first, wee must loue God, and shew it in all the fruits of our loue; How? |
A17410 | Further, if wee respect our selues, shall we not bee as carefull to prouide for our soules on the Sabbath, as for our bodies on the weeke daies? |
A17410 | HItherto of the rules, that concerne our carriage toward God? |
A17410 | In Christ I am dead to sinne, and shall I yet liue therein? |
A17410 | It were happie for some Christians, if they could with the Apostle say often to their owne soules, What haue I to doe to iudge them, that are without? |
A17410 | My body was washed: and shall my soule bee still impure? |

A11072 | And why is not his heart with her; Because hee doth not tell her his counsells? |
A11072 | If this be justly due from man unto man, how much more due is it from man unto God? |
A11072 | Know therefore thy owne insufficiencie, yea, the insufficiencie of the best Teacher in the world( for who is sufficient for these things?) |

A40254 | And doth not Amos say, Wo to such that chant to the Sound of the Vial, and invent to themselves Instruments of Musick, like David? |
A40254 | Are not these things contrary to the Practice of the Holy Men, who rejoyced and gloried in the Lord? |
A40254 | Are not those that Rejoyce to Rejoyce in the Lord? |
A40254 | Are not those that live Wantonly upon Earth, and in Pleasure, dead while they live? |
A40254 | But what''s the Use and End of all the Musick and Dancing in Christendom? |
A40254 | Indeed David used them as unto the Lord, and Danced before the Ark of the Lord? |
A40254 | Shew Scripture for these things, seeing you profess it your Rule? |
A40254 | Shew us your Rule in the Holy Scriptures for these things? |
A40254 | Was not the Melody the true Christians made in their Hearts to the Lord? |
A40254 | We desire you will produce your Rule and Example out of the Old or New Testament, among Jews or Christians, for these things? |
A40254 | Where did the primitive Christians invent Playes and Shews, as those called Christians have done since the Apostles dayes? |
A40254 | Where was any Instruments of Musick allowed of God to be invented and used by the Jews to themselves, but unto the Lord? |
A40254 | Whether any of the Jews under the Old Testament ever invented Playes and Shews to get Money by them, as those called Christians do now? |

A07626 | 14. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? |
A07626 | Psalme, Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? |
A07626 | Psalme, saying, Lord, who shall abide in thy Tabernacle? |
A07626 | Shall death, why it is dead? |
A07626 | Simon, seest thou this woman? |
A07626 | Wee may therefore say and conclude with the Apostle Saint Paul, O death where is thy sting, O hell where is thy victory? |
A07626 | Who can say I have made my heart cleane, I am pure from my sinne? |
A07626 | and who shall stand in his holy place? |
A07626 | of Iob, How can man be justified with God: or how can he be cleane that is borne of a woman? |
A07626 | said, Did not I weepe with him that was in trouble, wa ● not my soule in heavinesse for the poore? |
A07626 | shall hell, why it is fettered and shackled? |
A07626 | shall sinne, why it is prevented and pardoned ▪ Finally, shall the flesh, why it is crucified? |
A07626 | shall the world, why it is vanquished? |
A07626 | who shall dwell in thy holy hill? |
A29868 | Ho ● shall the dead arise? |
A29868 | How doe they break their owne pates to salve that of Priscian? |
A29868 | How long, O Lord? |
A29868 | How many Synods have beene assembled and angerly broke up againe about a line in Propria quae Maribus? |
A29868 | In briefe, I am content, and what should providence adde more? |
A29868 | Is there any thing among those common objects of hatred that I can safely, I doe contemne and laugh at? |
A29868 | This is the dismall conquest we all deplore, that makes us often cry, O Adam quid fecisti? |
A29868 | how strange to them will sound the History of Adam, when they shall suffer for him they never heard of? |
A29868 | what wise hand teacheth them to doe what reason can not teach us? |
A29868 | when they that derive their Genealogy from the gods, shall know they are the unhappy issue of sinfull man? |
A29868 | yeares, or imagine the secret ● ommunicated to the Rabbi, which God hath denyed to his Angels? |
A12194 | Alas I am not convinced by the Spirit, that Christ is my righteousnes therfore what case am I in? |
A12194 | Because I goe to the Father; what strength is there in that reason? |
A12194 | But how? |
A12194 | But wherefore did he go to the Father? |
A12194 | But you will aske me this Question, how shall we know common Conviction of conscience from this of the Spirit? |
A12194 | But you will aske me why is the sending of the Spirit necessary for the convincing of this righteousnesse? |
A12194 | But you will aske me, how doth the Holy Ghost convince me of the righteousnesse of Christ? |
A12194 | Can I love thee except thou love me first? |
A12194 | Canst thou have any free and voluntary obedience from me, unlesse I be convinced that Christ is mine? |
A12194 | How joyfull intertainement shall we have of the Father and the Sonne? |
A12194 | In mercy or justice? |
A12194 | The Holy Ghost begins with Convincing of sinne; What is this Convincing? |
A12194 | To end the point, I beseech you labour to live by this faith, heere is an evidence if we can live by it; How is that? |
A12194 | What imbitters blessings and puts a sting into all afflictions but sinne? |
A12194 | What is the reason? |
A12194 | What is the righteousnesse of Christ? |
A12194 | Where the soule is convinced of the righteousnesse of Christ, there the conscience demands boldly: It is God that justifies, who shall condemne? |
A12194 | Wherein wilt thou be glorified? |
A12194 | You see the Pharisees Wise men, Learned men being convinced they hated Christ to the death; why? |
A12194 | You will aske me, How shall wee know whether we be convinced of this righteousnesse or no? |
A12194 | for carnall men that goe to Hell are Convinced by a common conviction, what is this saving Conviction? |
A12194 | who cares for a pardon that is not condemned? |
A12194 | why the Comforter may and shall convince of righteousnesse? |
A12194 | why this, Christ took upon him to be our surety, and hee must acquit us of all our sinnes ere he can goe to his Father? |
A09472 | 1. what then shall we sinne that grace may abound? |
A09472 | Againe: Who shall condemne vs? |
A09472 | And for the better cōceiuing of it, we are to consider what the resurrection of Christ is? |
A09472 | And it will the better be conceiued by the answering of three questions: What shall ceafe in this estate? |
A09472 | But I demaund of the Patrons of this doctrine; whether, when the workes of preparation are done, the doer is in Christ or out of Christ? |
A09472 | But how are they losses? |
A09472 | But where may we find a sufficient paiment for this debt? |
A09472 | For the better clearing of this doctrine, two points are to be handled: When Christ is our gaine? |
A09472 | If nature affoard thus much: why may not the like be found in the coniuction that is aboue nature? |
A09472 | It is a priuiledge to be of the kindred of our Sauiour Christ, but it is of no moment: for Christ saith, Who is my mother and brethren? |
A09472 | The first is, According to what nature is Christ our gaine? |
A09472 | The first is, what are the sufferings of Christ? |
A09472 | The fourth or last point is, when and howe long faith alone iustifieth? |
A09472 | The last point is, Wherein stāds the resurrection of Christ? |
A09472 | The next point to be handled is, How Christ is our gaine? |
A09472 | The next question is, in what estate Christ is our Gaine? |
A09472 | The second point is, For whome he rose? |
A09472 | The second point to be considered is, How faith is a meanes to iustifie? |
A09472 | The second question is, what we shal haue and inioye in this estate? |
A09472 | The third point is, When he arose? |
A09472 | The third point is, whether faith alone be the meanes to obtaine the iustice of Christ for vs or no? |
A09472 | The third question is, what we shall doe? |
A09472 | What is the fault of the foolish virgins? |
A09472 | What this faith is? |
A09472 | What we shall doe? |
A09472 | What we shall haue? |
A09472 | When and howe long it is the onely meanes? |
A09472 | and how? |
A09472 | and what is the vertue thereof? |
A09472 | howe it is a meanes to obaine iustice? |
A09472 | whereto serues it? |
A09472 | whether alone by it selfe, or by the helpe of other vertues? |
A14258 | Againe, say I, Since you haue done it with S. Paul, and with some others, why doe you it not generally with all? |
A14258 | And addes, If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how will you believe if I tell you Heavenly things? |
A14258 | And if another shall aske mee, saying, how shall I doe, who believe, to confirme my faith with experience? |
A14258 | And if any man shall aske me, how the experience offaith is g ● … tten? |
A14258 | And if any person shall demand me, saying, How shall I doe to firme my selfe in this journey? |
A14258 | And what effects the Patience of God doth worke? |
A14258 | And why doe you not show unto him your presence? |
A14258 | Doe you not presently giue him th ● … holy Spirit, which should rule, and govern him? |
A14258 | Examine thy selfe well, whether thou finde satisfaction in doing of them or no? |
A14258 | In what I say, O Christian, canst thou found this confidence? |
A14258 | and whether thou hast an evill opinion of them that doe them not, or no? |
A14258 | whether thou hast a good opinion of them, who doe them or no? |
A36462 | A good father can not be at quiet if he doe not know how it is with his children: How if they should be sick? |
A36462 | Am I a new creature, yea or no? |
A36462 | Are yee bent to holinesse and selfe- deniall,& c. as a bow is bent to shoot the arrow? |
A36462 | Are your hearts inclined heaven- ward and God- ward, as Davids? |
A36462 | Doe yee not know what an estate you are in? |
A36462 | Doe yee object yee doe not know, neither can yee know? |
A36462 | Doe yee thinke yee are in a good estate? |
A36462 | Doth my soule live to God or no? |
A36462 | He supposeth these men might easily know that they were in a very bad est, or else how could he say thus unto them? |
A36462 | How can a Physician apply true and proper physick unlesse he enquire into the state of mens bodies? |
A36462 | How can men eat, drink, sleep,& c. sith the wrath of God abideth upon all unbelievers? |
A36462 | How do wee know that a man is cholerick? |
A36462 | How if the devill have tempted them to sinne and to apostatize? |
A36462 | How if they be troubled of conscience? |
A36462 | How if they miscarry? |
A36462 | How if they totter? |
A36462 | How if undone? |
A36462 | If you had but a cut finger, would not you be glad to have the right plaster? |
A36462 | It may be yee doe some good duties, make some faire offers of seeking God ▪ but are your hearts set on''t? |
A36462 | No? |
A36462 | Now here lieth the question, When did wee change our estates? |
A36462 | O Ierusalem, wash thy heart from wickednesse: how long shall these vain thoughts lodge within thee? |
A36462 | O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to slie from the wrath to come? |
A36462 | The inclinations of every creature in the world doe ever shew what the creature is, How doe we know that a stone is heavy? |
A36462 | They are men of Belial that say, What? |
A36462 | Thirdly, we are to take the care and the charge of your soules: Now then how can wee be quiet if we doe not know in what estate your soules be? |
A36462 | What is the reason that so many men abide in a ro ● ten estate, but because they are loth to open truly and fully what they are to Gods minister? |
A36462 | and if you had a burning fever, would you not desire the right remedy? |
A36462 | and, Can there be nothing done but the minister must heare of it? |
A36462 | how many in the visible Church doe so? |
A36462 | must the minister know all? |
A36462 | or are they set on the world and inclined earth- ward? |
A12202 | And when men doe see them, are there not sudden passions that come up in men that robbe them of the use of their knowlege? |
A12202 | But how are the truth of these desires knowne? |
A12202 | But how doth he make it good, they are thy servants? |
A12202 | Can God foresee any entitie, and thing that hath a beeing in nature, or grace without foresight to direct it this way or that way? |
A12202 | Doe wee thinke that God will give strength to an ill businesse? |
A12202 | For what are our sinnes, but that that makes us enemies to God? |
A12202 | For what is all the comfort that he hath, but that that is derived from God? |
A12202 | Hee that hath given us Christ, that hath not spared his owne Son, but gave him to death for us all, how shall he not with him give us all things else? |
A12202 | How did they know that they were thine? |
A12202 | How doth hee make it good, that hee feared the name of God? |
A12202 | One maine circumstance that besiegeth and besets a businesse, may hinder an excellent businesse: who can see all things that beset a businesse? |
A12202 | WHat is included in this word prosper? |
A12202 | What carries the soule, but desire? |
A12202 | What hast thou to doe( saith God) Psalme 50. to take my name into thy mouth and hatest to be reformed? |
A12202 | What is the reason that God blasts, and brings to nothing many excellent endeavours, and projects? |
A12202 | Whe ● a man comes to God with a purpose to sinne, he comes to wound God at the same time as an enemie, and is hee like to speede? |
A12202 | Who will regard the petition of a man that comes to wound him at the same time? |
A12202 | Why are desires, such trialls of the truth of Grace? |
A12202 | Why should we pray for them, if they could apply their own will which way they would? |
A12202 | Why should wee give thankes for that wee have liberty to doe this way, or that way? |
A12202 | Will a Master suffer his servant to miscarrie in his service? |
A12202 | Will you steale and oppresse and commit adultery, and yet stand before me? |
A12202 | You see here that any good Christian may be a good statesman in one good sence; what is that? |
A12202 | all circumstances that stand about a businesse? |
A12202 | hath not hee the hearts of Kings in his hand as the rivers of waters: to turne this way or that thē way? |
A12202 | who can see all circumstances of time, and place and persons, that are hindrances, or furtherances? |
A12202 | will swearers, and blasphemers, and filthy persons shake off the execution as they can the threatnings? |
A12202 | will you doe this and this villany, and stand before me? |
A44537 | And can any Man think, Christ was very serious in saying so, without being concerned, how to prevent, and escape that fatal Exit? |
A44537 | But have not You seen some counterfeit Pearls, so Artificiously contrived, that the ignorant Spectator hath taken them for truly Oriental? |
A44537 | Certainly, nothing would seem hard then, and why should it seem so now, when it is evident and apparent, you are in danger of those Flames? |
A44537 | Do you believe the Apostles? |
A44537 | Do you believe the Son of God, that came into the World to save Sinners? |
A44537 | Either it will be fulfilled, or not: If it will not be fulfilled, where is Christ''s Veracity? |
A44537 | Have not you seen some curious Limner, draw Infects and Butterflies, with that Life, that one would take them for Living Animals? |
A44537 | If it be, where is Your Security? |
A44537 | Men, Fathers and Brethren, Do you believe the Prophets? |
A44537 | Would you think them so, if you lay Howling in Eternal Flames? |
A42084 | And did we thus in our several Stations and Capacities, study and delight to do good, and promote the welfare of our Brethren, how happy should we be? |
A42084 | And if believe the same blessed Resurrection, why are we so concerned for our Lands and Possessions? |
A42084 | And if they so highly valu''d a false foppish Religion, how shall we ever set a just value upon the true, the pure, the undefiled Religion of Christ? |
A42084 | And now does not this Religion sufficiently recommend it self to mankind? |
A42084 | And now what can the Fatherless and Widow do? |
A42084 | But with what Armour shall we fight? |
A42084 | By what means shall we lay hold upon the Crown? |
A42084 | Is it possible for Flesh and Blood to forego Houses and Estates, is it seen to attempt it? |
A42084 | Need it any thing else to court our Affections? |
A42084 | Shall we rise again to the Resurrection of the Just? |
A42084 | These men, the Priest and Levite, added nothing to his Miseries, they left the Poor Man as they found him: And were they Charitable? |
A42084 | What man is instructed for the Kingdom of God? |
A42084 | What then shall we say? |
A42084 | When ye come before me, who hath required this at your hands to tread my Courts? |
A42084 | Who among the Sons of Men can believe himself able to renounce all? |
A42084 | Who is he that overcometh the World? |
A42084 | Who then can be saved? |
A42084 | are these poor Creatures capable of being useful in their Generation? |
A42084 | can they make any grateful Compensation or Return to their Benefactors? |
A42084 | shall we condemn the Religion of the blessed Jesus, because Iniquity does so much abound? |
A42084 | why do we tremble every moment least the Darlings of ours be snatched away from us? |
A30127 | And whether it be Lawfull for them so to do? |
A30127 | And whether it be not Lawfull for them so to do? |
A30127 | And who hat required this at your hand? |
A30127 | Are they to be the audible mouth there, before all, to God? |
A30127 | But I Answer, yet limited, and confined to Order, and manner of Performance: Women may, yea ought to Pray; what then? |
A30127 | But Women have sometimes cases, which modesty will not admit should be made known to Men, what must they do then? |
A30127 | But can not the Church, and every woman in it, build up themselves without their Womans Meetings? |
A30127 | But can women no other way be built up in their most holy faith, but by Meetings of their own without their men? |
A30127 | But what must they do that have unbelieving ones? |
A30127 | But why must the Women have shame- facedness, since they live honestly as the Men? |
A30127 | Do you think that God gave the VVoman her hair, that she might deck her self, and set off her fleshly beauty therewith? |
A30127 | Else how can that Assembly say AMEN at their Prayer or giving of thanks? |
A30127 | First he begins with this question, Whether Women fearing God may Meet to pray together, and whether it be Lawfull for them so to do? |
A30127 | First, Why is man made the Head of the Woman in Worship, in the Worship now under debate, in that Worship that is to be performed in Assemblies? |
A30127 | Have you not in your stock a Male? |
A30127 | I am not of the number of them, that say, Of what profit is it, if we should Pray unto God? |
A30127 | I say how easily might he have said this, and then have po ● t in those two verses above quoted, and so have killed the old one? |
A30127 | If it be asked who did appoint that Meeting made mention of Acts 12.12? |
A30127 | If this kind of Worship may be performed, without their Conduct and Government? |
A30127 | Is it their Duty to help to carry on Prayer in Publick Assemblies with Men, as they? |
A30127 | Our Author, perhaps, will say, I have not spoken to his Question, which was, Whether Women fearing God, may Meet to Pray together? |
A30127 | Whether Mordecai and the good men then did not Pray and Fast as well as she? |
A30127 | Yea more, why are the Elders of the Churches called Watchmen, Overseers, Guides, Teachers, Rulers, and the like? |
A30127 | and what must they do that have none? |
A30127 | and why are the Women commanded silence there, if they may Congregate by themselves, and set up and manage Worship there? |
A30127 | wherefore have they the Word, their Closet, and the grace of Meditation, but to build up themselves withall? |
A30127 | yea whether it doth not tend to make them unruly and head strong? |
A20803 | And can all spirituall senses faile, and beguile vs? |
A20803 | And can wee be conioyned to Christ, yea and ingrafted into him, and not perceiue it? |
A20803 | But how far forth may, and sometimes do the elect and regenerate loose faith, grace, and the spirit of God? |
A20803 | But is it lawfull,& conuenient some times, and in some case to confesse our sinnes to our Pastor, Minister, or Christian brother? |
A20803 | But is this marrying in the Lord? |
A20803 | Can Christ lodge and lie with vs, and we with him,& neuer spiritually touch him? |
A20803 | Can Christ perfume his spouse with mirrbe, and incense and with all the powder of the merchant, and shee not smell it? |
A20803 | Can a man carry fire in his hand, and not feele it, and can a man containe the holy flame of Gods grace in his heart, and not discerne it? |
A20803 | Can a man doubt of the garments where with he is cloathed, and can the Church cloathed with the sonne of righteousnesse neuer see nor obserue it? |
A20803 | Can a woman be wedded to an husband and not know it? |
A20803 | Can he speake peace to our soules and cause our hearts to burne within vs, and we not heare him? |
A20803 | Can hee dwell in vs, and we not see him? |
A20803 | Can hee dwell in vs, and wee neuer feele him? |
A20803 | Can hee feede vs with the hony, wine, spices, fatlings, and delicates, and wee haue no tast, and relish of them? |
A20803 | Can the sense bee deceiued about his proper obiect? |
A20803 | Finally shall the Church and must shee reioyce that her name is written in heauen, and yet haue no certaintie of it? |
A20803 | For what will it profit a man to gaine the whole world, and loose his owne soule, or what ransome or recompence shall hee giue to r ● de ● me it? |
A20803 | Is not beare- baiting, and cock- fighting lawfull and allowable? |
A20803 | O Serpents, O gene ● ation of vipers, how should yee escape the damnation of hell? |
A20803 | O miserable man that I am, who shall deliuer me from this body of death? |
A20803 | Ob, But is not hunting lawfull? |
A20803 | Shall we so carefully shun,& decline al things y ● bring hurt, sicknes, infection,& danger to the body? |
A20803 | What is man that thou art so mindfull of him, or the Sonne of man that thou thinkest vpon him? |
A20803 | What shall I( saith hee) render vnto the Lord for all his benefits? |
A20803 | Why doth God def ● rre and put of the last iudgement so long? |
A20803 | Why will not God reueale vnto any the time and day of the last iudgement? |
A20803 | and can any good come of so bad beginning? |
A20803 | dost thou purposely, and ordinarily walke in the narrow way that leadeth to eternall life? |
A20803 | shall hee so gloriously cloth the Lillies of the field, and will hee not much more apparrell those that serue him, and depend vppon him continually? |
A20803 | will he nourish the wicked his enemies, and will hee not much more feed his friendes, and beeloued? |
A20803 | will iron and clay cleaue togither? |
A36870 | Besides these, there are some Men examples of extreme wretchedness; what a number of Beggars lie in the streets? |
A36870 | Could so delicate a skin endure the cold and hard Prison for the testimony of the Gospell? |
A36870 | For what are all our perfections, but poor shadowes and obscure traces of the perfection of Christ? |
A36870 | How comes it to pass, that clothes( which were given because of Sinne) are now turned into Sinne? |
A36870 | If these be our Virtues, what shall our Vices be? |
A36870 | If vices lodge in the Pulpit how much more in the Porch and in the house of the wicked? |
A36870 | Man being born thus poor and miserable, what a while it is before he can guide himself? |

A36870 | What a number should fast, if others( who worrie one another) should lay their malice aside? |
A36870 | What a number there are that believe a religion because they will believe it? |
A36870 | What a world of people live upon the wickedness of other men? |
A36870 | What are we the better to know by History what was done a great while since, and know not what to doe now? |
A36870 | Win a Kings Son with apples? |
A36870 | and like Esau sell his birthright for a Mess of potage? |
A36870 | and what Virtues can these be that thus dance after the Devills pipe? |
A36870 | how long and laborious his Instruction? |
A36870 | how many Slaves in the Galleys? |
A36870 | how many in this age are poysoned with sensuality, which lulls them in the lap to strangle them? |
A36870 | or by Astronomy to learn the motions and influences of the Heavens, and know not how to come thither? |
A36870 | or he that made the eye, shall not he see? |
A36870 | tempt the Son of the great Prince of Heaven with money to offend his Father? |
A36870 | that an argument of humility should now become a matter of pride? |
A36870 | that man makes that a matter of glory, which God gave to cover his shame? |
A36870 | what a number of things there are in this world, that I have no need of? |
A36870 | what a number perish in that way? |
A36870 | what a sort of Hirelings and Mercenaries? |
A36870 | what a while he trembles under the Masters awe to learn vain words, and knowledge, that will deceive him? |
A36870 | you see how we prepare for sufferings, what Apprentises we are for Martyrdom? |
A11380 | A fourth way, IF hee be a friend that provokes thee, thinke as Iob did, when God afflicted him, Shall I receive good at his hands? |
A11380 | How Julian? |
A11380 | How was Haman in his project upon the Jewes and Mordecai? |
A11380 | Is it peace Jehu? |
A11380 | REmission and reference is fit in such throng, and crowdes; when Paul in his astonishment, asked GOD, What wilt thou I shall doe? |
A11380 | Shall I praise you in this? |
A11380 | Then consider the age: old age is more perverse and harsh to treate with; Seest thou( sayes Salomon) an old — King? |
A11380 | Thus, David, when Abishai asked him, if his reviler Shimei should be put to death, answered, Shall there any man bee put to death this day in Israel? |

A11380 | Thus, When Samuel was to annoint Saul King of Israel, first hee scatters this, On whom is all the desire of Israel, is it not on thee? |

A11380 | and they cried out againe, Crucifie him, and then he said, Why? |
A11380 | and why are yee come unto me now yee are in distresse? |
A11380 | because there is not a God in Israel? |
A11380 | but the wicked reply, Lord when did we see thee an hungry, and did not minister unto thee? |
A11380 | what have wee? |
A45563 | But alas how few such are to be found? |
A45563 | But lo, here it is reprefented to us in a mollifying Phrase, and that which is familiar to us: and why thus? |
A45563 | Newcomb, for William Grantham...,[ London?] |
A45563 | Thus did David, and thus ought we; but do we thus? |
A45563 | there were never any but two, Enoch and Elias, and I may say, What man is he that dieth, and shall not see corruption? |
A47072 | Ah my soul, canst not thou say so by experience? |
A47072 | s.n.,[ London? |
A19285 | 1. euen as the Riuers vnto the sea? |
A19285 | 4 That God is mercifull, and if wee doe our best, what can you haue more? |
A19285 | 5 And so when CHRIST is said to bee GOD, thereby is not meant a permutation of the Diuine Nature into the Humane, and so contrary? |
A19285 | 5 Can wee doe lesse in these dayes, then conuince a prophane world? |
A19285 | 6 Can we do better, then strengthen that which is ready to die? |
A19285 | 6 That our fore- fathers were saued with lesse adoe, and lesse meanes; and what need we stand so much vpon it? |
A19285 | And do wee not approue our selues hereby liuing members of his body? |
A19285 | And doth not the death of Christ daily kill sinne in vs? |
A19285 | And is it not more then high time that wee should gather our selues before the decree come forth? |
A19285 | And is it not sinne before God, though it seeme neuer so glorious among men, whatsoeuer is not of faith? |
A19285 | And is thy life vncertaine? |
A19285 | And without faith is it possible to please God? |
A19285 | Art thou not directed how to walke in thy calling? |
A19285 | But can not we bee truly humbled without faith? |
A19285 | Can I do better then I haue begun so still to imploy it in the meditation of Gods great mercies? |
A19285 | Did not the Lord thereby raise vp a mightie saluation for vs, euen by his owne immediate arme that he alone may haue the glory? |
A19285 | Fourthly, May it please thee to consider with me: Can a man walk in the Sunne, and not bee warme, and where two lie together, will there not be heate? |
A19285 | Fourthly, Nay, haue not all Nations concur''d in this Principle, that there is a GOD? |
A19285 | Hath not the ground of these beene some Superiour Power, inspiring and prospering the same? |
A19285 | Is it any more wee but Christ that now liueth in vs? |
A19285 | Is not Iesus Christ aswel- the authour and finisher of our faith? |
A19285 | Is not the night coming fast on vs when none can worke? |
A19285 | Is not this to bee ascribed to some supreme Power? |
A19285 | Is not this to liue by faith in the Sonne of God? |
A19285 | Is this a worke of nature, and so a preparation to grace? |
A19285 | Must we not first be in Christ before we can be new creatures? |
A19285 | Not that it is or can be in nature before it: for how can the fruite be before the tree? |
A19285 | Ought I not do my vttermost to awaken this secure age, and prouoke the Saints to an holy entertainement of so great saluation? |
A19285 | Ought we not, being conuerted, conuert our brethren: doth not the light shine vnto vs, and can we hold our peace? |
A19285 | Shal not the wise man see the plague and hide himselfe,& the foole run on& be punished? |
A19285 | Shall not the wise virgins prepare oyle in their lampes to meete the Bridegrome, whiles stripes are preparing for the back of the scorner? |
A19285 | Thirdly, And whence can the notions of good and euill and differences betweene them, proceed if not by chance, or from sense, or vse? |
A19285 | Were wee not plucked euen as a brand out of the fire? |
A19285 | When I am demanded, may I answere in part? |
A19285 | and can the light be hidden, nay, ought it to be hidden? |
A19285 | and do we not liue by faith in the Sonne of God? |
A19285 | can we loue God vnlesse hee loue vs first? |
A19285 | can wee forsake our sinnes, vnles the loue of Christ constrain vs? |
A19285 | doe wee not dayly rise vp in him to newnesse of life? |
A19285 | hast thou an account to make for others, as well as for thy selfe? |
A19285 | hast thou built hay and stubble vpon the foundation? |
A19285 | hast thou gone a stray from that perfect rule, and therefore hadst need to returne backe againe? |
A19285 | must we not beleeue sinne pardonable before we can forsake it: Is not our sufficiencie of God through Iesus Christ to subdue iniquitie? |

A04155 | first which concerne God? |
A04155 | wherein consists the inward forme, or essence of a Sacrament? |
A49240 | But now some may ask why God suffereth his Servants to be tempted? |
A49240 | how can our state be more dangerous then when we flye and Satan pursueth us? |
A49240 | where can we be more honourably imployed, then in fighting his Battel? |
A30213 | And are not these pleasant sights? |
A30213 | Ay, but Lord, what wilt thou do to quench their thirst? |
A30213 | But how much more now? |
A30213 | But how? |
A30213 | But of what? |
A30213 | But to slight Grace, to do dispite to the Spirit of Grace, to prefer our own works to the derogating from Grace; what is it, but to contemn God? |
A30213 | But what are they? |
A30213 | But what is Ancle deep, to that which followeth after? |
A30213 | But whence must this come? |
A30213 | But who understands this, who believes it? |
A30213 | But why? |
A30213 | Can these teach him to manage his knowledge well? |
A30213 | Can''st thou live always,( and no where else but) in the water? |
A30213 | Do you count them pure with the wicked balances? |
A30213 | Fifthly, Doth this Water of Life run like a River? |
A30213 | For wherein can Grace or Love more appear, than in his laying down his Life for us? |
A30213 | How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water? |
A30213 | How shall we escape, if we neglect so great Salvation? |
A30213 | How shall we escape, if we turn away from him, that speaketh from Heaven? |
A30213 | I say what less than a River could do it? |
A30213 | If the Father, or the Son, or the Holy- Ghost are gracious, if they were not all gracious, what would it profit? |
A30213 | If the wrath of a King, is as Messengers of Death: If the wrath of the King is as the roaring of a Lion: what is the wrath of God? |
A30213 | If thou ask, where that dwelling is? |
A30213 | Is Grace thy proper Element? |
A30213 | Is the Doctrine offered unto thee so? |
A30213 | Now it may be asked, What is the Throne of Grace? |
A30213 | Sinner, Sick- sinner, what sayest thou to this? |
A30213 | Sixthly, But what is all this to the dead World? |
A30213 | They talk of the Philosophers Stone, and how, if one had it? |
A30213 | Thorow what righteousness? |
A30213 | Thou art in a strait, wilt thou fly before Moses, or with David fall into the hands of the Lord? |
A30213 | Was it not therefore well worth the seeing? |
A30213 | Well, what shall be done for this man? |
A30213 | Were all the World gracious, if God were not gracious, what was man the better? |
A30213 | Who is it that would not have the benefit of Grace, of a Throne of Grace? |
A30213 | Why? |
A30213 | Will they not rather put him upon all tricks, evasions, irreligious consequences and conclusions, such as will serve to cherish Sin? |
A30213 | but can it turn all things into Grace? |
A30213 | but to accept of Grace, specially when''t is free Grace, Grace that reigns, Grace from the Throne; how sweet is it? |
A30213 | but who is it that can live by Grace? |
A30213 | can it make all things work together for good? |
A30213 | can''st thou live in the Water? |
A30213 | has not this River pleasant streams? |
A30213 | how can that be, since they are hurtful? |
A30213 | how hot will that make Wrath? |
A30213 | is not this excellent Water? |
A30213 | like a broad, full, and deep River? |
A30213 | or is it muddy and mixed with the Doctrines of men? |
A30213 | to contemn him when he is on the Throne, when he is on the Throne of his Glory? |
A30213 | to them that love to be dead? |
A30213 | what are a thousand such short Comparisons to the unsearchable Love of Christ? |
A30213 | what less than a River, could quench the thirst of more than Six hundred thousand men, besides women and children? |
A30213 | who would not but be a subject to it? |
A30213 | who would not but worship before it? |
A30213 | will his God humour him, and answer his desires? |
A30213 | wilt thou go to Hell for Sin, or to Life by Grace? |
A30213 | wouldest thou wade, wouldst thou swim? |
A10914 | 15. aduiseth, saying; who among vs shall dwell with the euerlasting burnings? |
A10914 | 2. out of which places wee may see what it is to lose so good, so louing, and mercifull a God: who worse then Cain, Esau, Saul,& Iudas? |
A10914 | 41. they reply: that all men at their seuerall deaths and departure out of this world, are iudged, and what needs the generall? |
A10914 | And shall we as great sinners as they looke to escape? |
A10914 | But( alas) if it come thus suddenly, who possible can prepare him for it? |
A10914 | Christs, his, and our aduersaries,& must not God be reuenged vpon his enemies? |
A10914 | So if any complaine of Deaths vnlooked- for approach, wee may answer, Who bade them bee so foolish, as not to looke for him? |
A10914 | So will we not goe backe from thee, reuiue thou vs and we shall call vpon thy name? |
A10914 | This meditation should teach vs moderation in diet, apparell, building, and hoording vp for hereafter,& why? |
A10914 | Watch? |
A10914 | What is heere then to be done? |
A10914 | What shall become, or to vvhat vse serues this world, the heauens, the earth, the sea, and all the powers thereof? |
A10914 | What thinke ye of these pillars of the Church, Peter, and Andrew, Iames and Iohn? |
A10914 | Wherfore is the liuing man sorrowfull? |
A10914 | Yet( will you say) Our learned Ministers teach vs a contrarie doctrine to this, else would we forsake this sinne, repent and make large restitution? |
A10914 | and if the Diuels themselues being spirits can not abide this burning, how much lesse shall corporall men doe it? |
A10914 | and should not the Lord in equity doe the like to vs, seeing he is so often fore- told of his sodaine comming? |
A10914 | doth euery man so as you say, or shall all that prepare not so as you prescribe, be damned? |
A10914 | how shall they answer, there so many inditements? |
A10914 | if the suburbs bee so fiery, what burning shall there bee in that hellish city? |
A10914 | now what shall they doe? |
A10914 | reason with him, when saw they him hungry? |
A10914 | shall not wee be saued as our neighbours, and vvhat doe wee desire more? |
A10914 | shall wee in the most needfull place giue ouer our watch? |
A10914 | should vvee for this Countrey refuse any toyle? |
A10914 | the losing of God; for what hypocrite or heart of man can now abide to heare Angell or Deuill say, Where is now thy God? |
A10914 | when they themselues confesse& acknowledge that they did no good workes? |
A10914 | yet Christ loued vs aboue any Father, and spilt his bloud for vs, and how then can hee condemne vs? |
A49837 | And what Unthankfulness and Ingratitude hath been in many of the Poor unto God, for his Mercies and Blessings bestowed upon them? |
A41441 | 14. for saith he, what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
A41441 | But then on the other side, must a man be accounted naked unless he cloath himself in Armour? |
A41441 | But what colour or pretence can there be for that, after God hath said it, and sent his Son to declare this great news to the World? |
A41441 | But what then? |
A41441 | For if mens opinions or perswasions are infallible, what is instruction for? |
A41441 | For to what purpose doth God perswade us, when he hath irrevocably determined our fate with himself? |
A41441 | For what should cow him that hath this Armour of proof, and is every way invulnerable? |
A41441 | For who can consider what his Saviour suffered, and look upon him whom we have pierced, and not mourn heartily for his sin and his danger? |
A41441 | For who disputes whether God should be worshipped? |
A41441 | Is it no priviledge, no comfort to be admitted to the Lords Table, in token of Friendship and reconciliation with him? |
A41441 | Is it no profit to be made ingenuously to weep over our own sins? |
A41441 | Is it no profit to see Christ Crucified before our Eyes, and to see him pour out his heart blood for Sinners? |
A41441 | O but( may some man say) will it not at least be will- worship to affect uncommanded instances of love to God and zeal of his glory? |
A41441 | Or, Will they say, that men impose upon one another, and there was never any such matters of fact as we have here supposed? |
A41441 | Shall a man pretend Piety, and make his table become a snare to his own Soul, and his House a Sanctuary and priviledged place for prophaneness? |
A41441 | Thus men make vain Apologies, but doth God Almighty allow of them, hath he made any such exceptions or distinctions? |
A41441 | What knowest thou, O Wife, but thou maist save thy Husband? |
A41441 | What though old men must dy, yet will not young men quickly come to be, old men too, at least if they do not die first? |
A41441 | What was it that a zealous Jew could provoke his Neighbours to go up to the Temple for? |
A41441 | What, is it no profit that we have done our duty and exprest our gratitude to so great a Benefactor? |
A41441 | Whether affliction be more easy than it used to be, and we can better submit to the yoke of Christ? |
A41441 | Whether our hearts be more in Heaven than they were wo nt, and that we have arrived at a greater contempt of the World? |
A41441 | Whether we are more conscientious of secret sins, and such as no Eye of man can take notice of and upbraid us for? |
A41441 | Whether we are more dead to temptation, especially in the case of such sins as agree with our constitution and circumstances? |
A41441 | Whether we are more sagacious in apprehending, and more careful of improving opportunities of doing good than heretofore? |
A41441 | Whether we be more constant in all the duties of Religion than formerly? |
A41441 | Whether we be more exact and regular in our lives daily? |
A41441 | Who now can doubt whether these things are of mighty influence upon the hearts and Consciences of men to incline them to Religion? |
A41441 | Will men be so wretchedly absurd as to say still, it is impossible that men should live again after they are once dead? |
A41441 | Will men say, Heaven is but a Dream, or a Romantick fancy? |
A41441 | Will they say, God hath a mind to impose upon men? |
A41441 | and if that may not be restrained in its extravagancy, wherefore were Laws made, and Magistrates appointed? |
A41441 | and what part hath he that believeth, with an infidel? |
A41441 | can infinite perfection become a Debtor to Dust and Ashes? |
A41441 | if Conscience be a guide to it self, to what purpose are spiritual Guides provided by divine wisdom for our conduct? |
A41441 | if the light within be sufficient, what is the light of holy Scripture for? |
A41441 | or what knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy Wife? |
A41441 | what communion hath light with darkness? |
A41441 | what concord hath Christ with Belial? |
A41441 | whether a man should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present World? |
A26936 | And darest thou refuse this when God and Conscience do command it? |
A26936 | And dost thou see and know this, and yet wilt thou not be instructed, and be wise in time? |
A26936 | And is he not self- condemned, that honoureth the Names of Saints, and will not imitate them? |
A26936 | And is not this Christ the Author of our Holiness, and this Scripture the Commander of it? |
A26936 | And is this Nature given thee in vain? |
A26936 | And what can we do to satisfie Justice, and reconcile such a rebel Soul to God? |
A26936 | And who can be our Owner, but He that made us? |
A26936 | And who can be our highest Governour, but our Owner? |
A26936 | Ask your Hearts seriously, What is it that I shall need at a dying Hour? |
A26936 | Believe: Tell me now what is the full Resolution and Desire of your Will, concerning all this which you Believe? |
A26936 | Blessed are they that are thy faithful Subjects; But who hath hardened himself against thee, and hath prospered? |
A26936 | Can not Carcases and Dust instruct thee to see the end of Earthly Glory, and all the Pleasures of the Flesh? |
A26936 | Can they be wise for thee, that are foolish for themselves? |
A26936 | Can you travel one whole day to such an End, and never think of the Place that you are going to? |
A26936 | Did they deride or persecute a Holy Life? |
A26936 | Do they then speak well of Lust and Pleasures and magnifie the Wealth and Honours of the World? |

A41536 | 15 This Question, Whether in every act a Christian doth all in Christ, by his fetching vertue distinctly from him? |
A41536 | All the fruits in their season, how acceptable are they? |
A41536 | And how? |
A41536 | And if it be asked, whether in every act a Christian doth thus? |
A41536 | And what was that? |
A41536 | As first, whether every new degree of grace runs through all the faculties? |
A41536 | But doth he deale so with others? |
A41536 | But how much more would this have beene an occasion of pride to a soule that was full of nothing but sin the other day, to be made perfect presently? |
A41536 | David, when under afflictions in the wildernesse, and wanting opportunities, how strict was he, and kept himselfe from his iniquity? |
A41536 | Doth God take care of trees? |
A41536 | From whence comes wars and fightings amongst you? |
A41536 | Hath he smitten them as he smote those that smote him? |
A41536 | How shall we that are dead to sinne, live any longer therein? |
A41536 | How will the grace of God under the Gospel, triumph over the grace given Adam in his innocencie? |
A41536 | I hate sinne, and every false way, with this, Thy law doe I love? |
A41536 | If they doe all so much for us, what should not we endeavour to do for our selves? |
A41536 | Is there no means of reclaiming them? |
A41536 | Never a rod in the house? |
A41536 | Now if we had no corruption to entice and seduce us, what opportunities were there for us, thus of denying our selves? |
A41536 | Now if you aske, How God taketh them away? |
A41536 | Now whom will this move, into whose affections will such an argument draw up sap, and quicken them? |
A41536 | Take away the sin if possible, but cut not off the man: why should his grace perish with his wickednesse? |
A41536 | That one Apostle of the Gentiles, Paul, did more then all the Apostles, shall we thereby infallibly conclude he had more inherent grace then they all? |
A41536 | The third Question is, Whether this increase be onely by radicating the same grace more, or by a new addition? |
A41536 | These Apostles, to whom Christ spake this Parable of the Vine,( and unto them especially) how were they affected, and transported with a trifle? |

A13822 | But who doth so now adaies? |
A13822 | Can there be in worldly affaires a greater folly? |
A13822 | First, out of Nature, we know that it wanteth rest, and out of that knowledge wee labour to prouide it: but what doe wee rest our soules heade vppon? |
A13822 | God himselfe is not alway so respected as hee ought, shall not wee therefore regard him as much, as if al the world did agnize him? |
A13822 | Haue they no wit, to remooue their habitations and seeke some other Cires and places of abode? |

A14927 | And what I bray you, were all the generation of the iust before their conuersion? |
A14927 | Are not these euidences sufficient, that you doe not yeeld to it,& consequently are not wholy ouer- whelmed with it? |

A14927 | S. But how may a man know whether he be ouertaken herewith or no? |
A14927 | S. But if this befall reprobates onely, how doth the Church complaine, O Lord, why hast thou hardned our hearts from thy feare? |
A14927 | S. But may I securely rest in this, and neuer feare any danger of back- sliding? |
A14927 | S. But suppose they are for the present dead, and senslesse; are they also as a stone, vncapable of impression for the time to come? |
A14927 | S. But what is the danger of being in this estate? |
A14927 | S. Can you out of all that you haue said, gather mee a briefe description of hardnesse of heart? |
A14927 | S. Doe you thinke it possible, it should be otherwise with me? |
A14927 | S. First then I would intreat you to shew mee what is that same hardnes of heart, that you spake of? |

A14927 | S. Now I pray, what should a man doe, if by these signes he finde himselfe ouer- taken with this dangerous euill? |
A14927 | S. True; but how doe these properties expresse the disposition of mans heart? |
A14927 | S. Well, suppose I find by these meanes, that in some measure God hoth begun to soften mine heart; What am I then to doe? |

A14927 | What meanes your strugling, praying, vsing all meanes against this hardnes of yours, to subdue it, and to bee freed from it? |
A14927 | What? |
A14927 | Whence is this complaining of yours? |
A14927 | Whence it is, that we find this euer proposed, as a thing, whereof we are ignorant Who hath knowne the minde of the Lord, or beene his Counsellor? |
A14927 | Who art thou, that condemnest another mans seruant? |
A14927 | Who knows if he will repent? |
A14927 | Who would buy the sweetest pleasures of sin at such a rate? |
A14927 | all hard still? |
A14927 | and is not his promise, that will prore water vpon the thirstie, and flouds on the dry ground? |
A14927 | and yet no tendernes? |
A14927 | are not they freed from their hard, and stony hearts, as their parents are? |
A14927 | are their more kinds of it then one? |
A14927 | but must a man needs come to this height, that giues but a little way to sinfull delights? |
A14927 | but, doe we not see many good natures, which euen vnrenued, are of a milder and more ingenuous temper, as if they were euen, made of softer mettall? |
A14927 | doth a hard heart complaine of its owne hardnes? |
A14927 | for an vlcer in the skin, to thrust a lancer into the heart? |
A14927 | how many, I pray; and how distinguished? |
A14927 | in punishing the guiltie mother, to destroy the innocent babe in her wombe? |
A14927 | is that also a dead, and sensles body? |
A14927 | is there any thing troubles you? |
A14927 | is there no Phisitian there? |
A14927 | or doth nature teach a man to complaine of his naturall corruption? |
A14927 | through hatred of corrupt nature, to offer violence to the new creater? |
A14927 | were they not all as hard- hearted as you imagine your selfe to be? |
A14927 | what say you then to that of the Apostle; If our heart condemne vs, GOD is greater then our heart? |
A14927 | will you quarrel with your Phisician? |
A09465 | 13. wicked men are brought in speaking of God, as though he were shut vp in heauen,& had nothing to do in the world: Is not God on high in the heauen? |
A09465 | 7. yea they who seeke the deepe to hide their counsell from the Lorde, whose workes are in darkenes, say, who seeth vs? |
A09465 | A practise heereof we may see in Dauid who being in a most greeuous temptation, so as he cried out, b Is the Lords mercie cleane gone? |
A09465 | Againe what is the cause why men vse oppression, and iniustice, deceit, and lying in their wordly affaires? |
A09465 | Againe, whence comes sinning with an high hand, when men sinne, and will sinne? |
A09465 | And Dauide in a greiuous trouble of minde, thus complained: l Will the Lord absent himselfe for euer? |
A09465 | And the Saints vnder the altar crie, p How long Lord, how long wilt thou not iudge and auenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? |
A09465 | And why doe men in their callings shew forth so small loue, so little mercie, iustice, and good conscience? |
A09465 | And will hee shewe no more fauour? |
A09465 | But what if a man haue truely repented him of his sinnes, must he still vse this cōsideration of them? |
A09465 | But what is mans heart that it should be so desired? |
A09465 | Doe not men cloath vice in vertues robe, and turne out vertue in the rotten ragges of vice? |
A09465 | Doth his promise faile for euermore? |
A09465 | For the examination of our hearts touching this thought: whether did we euer thinke thus with our selues; I will not obey Gods commandements? |
A09465 | How great a cause therefore haue we to repent vs of the wicked Imaginations of our hearts? |
A09465 | How should God know? |
A09465 | Howe could it be, that they should knowe nothing seeing Noah had preached vnto them of the floode an hundred and twentie yeares before? |
A09465 | In whom are all these euill thoughts? |
A09465 | Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? |
A09465 | Is it not because this thought of Atheisme doth possesse their hearts, that God regardeth not these outward things? |
A09465 | Is not drunkennes counted good fellowship,& kinde neighbourhood? |
A09465 | Now wicked thoughts are a breach of the law: for Salomon saith, r Doe not they erre that imagine euill? |
A09465 | Now would wee know the cause hereof; as also why men are so slack and cold in praier, so carelesse, and vnreuerent in hearing Gods word? |
A09465 | On the other side, is not the more sincere profession of religion termed precysenes, Puritanisme, Hypocrisie, and such like? |
A09465 | Point Howe doth a man by thinking denie God in his heart? |
A09465 | Shall wee thinke that they durst thus impudently answer the Lord with open mouthes? |
A09465 | The heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things; who can know it? |
A09465 | Though men be daily taught the doctrine of saluation, yet who learneth the same? |
A09465 | What man almost is there that saith with himselfe, Oh miserable man, what haue I done? |
A09465 | can he giue bread and flesh for his people? |
A09465 | doth not hee that refrayneth the common sinnes of the time, make himselfe a pray to the mouthes of the vngodly? |
A09465 | hath God forgotten to be mercifull? |
A09465 | such a thought had proud Pharao in his heart, when he said to Moses& Aaron, m who is the Lord that I should heare his voice,& let Israel goe? |
A09465 | where is that serious performing of worship vnto God which ought to be? |
A09465 | who knoweth vs? |
A28521 | ( I must teach it,) where ● fore should it be greivous and irksome to me to walke in the same? |
A28521 | 7 Thus we are Gods Image and likenesse, who himselfe is all; Should we not therfore rejoyce? |
A28521 | And yet should they then begin to fight with the wicked? |

A42134 | Lastly we are dark Lights, blind Guides by name, Though if we were, say which deserves most blame, A glimering Taper, or a wandring flame? |
A42134 | Lord didst thou send, the wild and Savage Bear, To slay th''untoward boys that scoffing were, At the good Prophet for his want of hair? |
A42134 | Must we be taught by an Illitr''ate Bear?" |
A42134 | O Father Abraham how canst thou see, The bondman scoff at Isaack and not be, In love to him, offended presently? |
A42134 | Or hath the Church her Knights, as well as Lords? |
A42134 | Or is the Servant greater than his Lord? |
A42134 | Or was''t a greater piece of eminence, To be a Mother, than a Maids defence, Is love inferiour to obedience? |
A42134 | Or, tell me are her Keys exchang''d for Swords? |
A42134 | Say can it chuse but grieve our souls to see? |
A42134 | Shall it be more safe for some men to Commit Sin, then for others to reprove them? |
A42134 | Shall our Religion be( like Josephs coat) Motly, and bloudy? |
A42134 | Should these things hold What''s Learning or the Spirit? |
A42134 | Simeon and Levy fight, both disagree? |
A42134 | To you we render our complaints alasse, None fitter then an Angel to appease The fray, betwixt poor Bala''m and his Asse? |
A42134 | We do not love a long and tedious story, Full of Parenthesis, pride and vain glory, The Pater Noster''s the best Directory? |
A42134 | Went he to th''Vniversity? |
A42134 | What did hee there? |
A42134 | What shall the Asse forsake his Masters crib, And follow those that use to swear and bib? |
A42134 | What then( I beseech you?) |
A42134 | What then? |
A42134 | What think you then? |
A42134 | What? |
A42134 | Why not my Lord Bishop as well as my Lord Iudge? |
A42134 | Why the rude Vulgar folk do call us John, And adde a Sir, I must professe I''m one As must go seek a revelation? |
A42134 | With what an unwilling willingnesse did he take off his bitter draught? |
A42134 | Yee Consciencious Romists why do wee Wrangle with you? |
A42134 | Yet would you but vouchsafe to view the Prayers, Of your good Mother since these latter years, Mixt with the incense of a Prelates Tears? |
A42134 | have they not also made the same use of the Sacred Word of God? |
A42134 | pray give him leave to pause, Is the poor Asse condemn''d by Lyaford Laws? |
A42134 | what mean those names and words? |
A42134 | would not St. George have been A better Epethite, but chiefly when Griffins, and Draggons are so nee''r a kin? |

A49797 | 3. Who are to be baptized? |
A49797 | And it hath been determined in the affirmative, that by Grace it is possible; for what can not Grace do? |
A49797 | But for what end must this mercy thus enlarge, and why must they go unto all Nations of the Gentiles? |
A49797 | First, knowledge was necessary; for how can they obey, when they know not the particular commands to be obey''d? |
A49797 | If he but a little desert us, and withdraw his hand, how suddenly may David and St. Peter fall and sin grievously? |
A49797 | It was a famous question of old, Whether it be possible by Grace to observe and fulfil all the Commandment ● of God? |
A49797 | Shall God come so near to us, and shall not we come near to him? |
A49797 | Shall he seek us first, and we not seek him? |
A49797 | Therefore if man believe, Christ plead, the Church absolve, and God justifie, who can condemn? |
A49797 | What Baptism is? |
A49797 | What can not a Father in heaven, what will not a father in Christ do for his Children? |
A49797 | and shall he love us so much, and shall not we love him again? |
A49797 | and to what purpose is knowledge, though never so clear and distinct, if they do them not? |
A49797 | how should they go through with the great work without him? |
A49797 | shall we not only be disobedient, but perfidious too, and violate ou ● sacred bonds? |
A49797 | shall we promise, and promise unto him, and not perform? |
A49797 | whether is he gon? |
A49797 | who can lay any thing to our charge? |
A49797 | why hath he forsaken me? |
A49921 | And now, Lord, what is my hope? |
A49921 | And what art thou proud Worm, that canst despise, or repine at that, which thy Master and thy Redeemer underwent for the sake of thee? |
A49921 | But dost thou think this a distastful Virtue to suffer in Patience? |
A49921 | But what can be more evident, dear Christian, than that bodily Labour doth, in its right use, most nobly recal thy Soul to God by all these ways? |
A49921 | Canst thou look on these with any Satisfaction? |
A49921 | Could it be any thing beside Infinite Mercy? |
A49921 | Dost thou think it hard to tast of the same Cup, to bear a little of the Chastisement with thy Saviour, who has submitted to so very much for thee? |
A49921 | For how, O Man, canst thou forget, whilst thou workest with thy hands, the Word of thy God, That in the Sweat of thy face shalt thou eat Bread? |
A49921 | Is this which was in them a Condescension, in thee a Necessity? |
A49921 | Or art thou in the next place so blind, as not to see the Instruction contain''d under this Primitive Establishment of thy good God? |
A49921 | Shall the needy alway be forgotten, O Lord: or the expectation of the poor perish for evermore? |
A49921 | What thinkest thou, canst thou envy them this? |
A15505 | & c. Can thine heart indure, or thy hand be strong in the day that I have to deale with thee? |
A15505 | 13, 5, Prove your selves whether you bee in the faith; know ye not your owne selves that Iesus Christ is in you? |
A15505 | 2. whether it bee a sinne to have fellowship with them? |
A15505 | 24, 10, Wherefore givest thou eare to mens words that say, behold David seeketh evill against thee? |
A15505 | A bruised reede, what more fraile? |
A15505 | Are yet the treasures of wickednesse in the house of the wicked? |
A15505 | Behold here I am; Beare record of mee before the Lord, and before his Annointed, whose oxe, whose asse have I taken, whom have I wronged? |
A15505 | But Zacheus his sinne is mentioned in his story and so of others, is not the staine of that enough to hinder the honour of his name? |
A15505 | Christus ergo filius Dei, qui immunis iure suisset ab omni subjectione, legi fuit subiectus, cur? |
A15505 | Did Christ so regard any that came meerely to see him? |
A15505 | Doubt you of the sufficiency of Christs sacrifice to obtaine peace with God for you, because your sinnes be so many and great? |
A15505 | Finding no savour in the fruit of Christ or things of the Spirit? |
A15505 | For all which shall beleeve in him through the word of the Apostles; doth he so now? |
A15505 | How can your sinnes bee pardoned when you repent not, but keepe still your evill gotten goods, treasures heaped up by wickednesse? |
A15505 | How doth Christ make intercession now for us, being in heavenly glory? |

A15505 | How much better is the savour of thine oyntments than all spices? |
A15505 | How woefull is their case that seeke not to recover the fallen, but draw them into sinne? |
A15505 | If in his, hee need our house, how can we deny him? |
A15505 | If their affection bee such to their children, can Gods be lesse to them? |
A15505 | If thou say, behold, we knew not of it, shall not hee who pondereth the hearts understand it, and hee who preserveth thy soule doth not he know it? |
A15505 | Iohn 21, 22, What is that to thee? |
A15505 | Is it meete to deliberate and take time to answer such a gracious calling? |
A15505 | Is it no griefe to a man that thinkes to bee glorified of God, that hee hath in this life brought no glorie to God? |
A15505 | Is not the testimony of Iesus sufficient to bee rested upon? |
A15505 | Is our love to men( in Christ) and specially to those in whom the life of Christ is, the brethren? |
A15505 | It appeares that grace being off ● red, there is no other let, but the refusall of grace: What could I have done more that I have not done? |
A15505 | King Agrippa beleevest thou the Scriptures? |
A15505 | Man who made me a judg or a divider over you? |
A15505 | Maries words and Zacharies differed not much: How shall this bee( saith she) seeing I know not a man, Whereby shall I know this? |
A15505 | Or feare yo 〈 … 〉 God will not pardon y 〈 … 〉 destroy you? |

A15505 | Seest thou this woman? |
A15505 | So when hee saith, who made thee to differ from an other man? |
A15505 | The Apostle puts the case: Who is hee that will harme you, if yee bee followers of that which is good? |
A15505 | The act of the speciall sinne is ceased, is that enough to proue conversion, and that a man may conclude I am the Child of Abraham? |
A15505 | The use of witnesses among men is to end the controuersie by their testimonie; and shall God give testimony to lesse purpose than mans? |
A15505 | They can not forget nor forsake theirs,& will they thinke that their affection is not equalled by God, yea overmatched and exceeded, being infinite? |
A15505 | They that shut the gate of hope against themselves, what else doe they than accuse God of lying yea for swearing? |
A15505 | To the second, their quarrell, because hee went to be a guest with a sinner: whether all fellowship with sinnors bee sinne to a godly man? |
A15505 | We follow with brotherly kindnesse such as preach him, and professe him as before? |
A15505 | What comfort to me that I know Christ to bee the head of the whole Church? |
A15505 | What fellowship hath righteousnesse with unrighteousuesse, what communion hath light with darkenesse? |
A15505 | What if restitution imply some worldly daunger or disgrace? |
A15505 | What shall I render? |
A15505 | What singular thing do you? |
A15505 | What specially commends almes? |
A15505 | Where shall the ungodly and the sinner appeare? |
A15505 | Who can tell whether God will call againe? |
A15505 | Who knowes what a day may bring forth? |
A15505 | Who will looke for an Asse to speake to the reproofe of their maisters madnesse, because Balaams Asse did so to him once? |

A15505 | Why eateth your Maister with Publicans and Sinners? |
A15505 | Why so called? |
A15505 | did hee looke for more in Iesus than the outward sight of his person? |
A15505 | doe not the Divels know that? |
A15505 | how shall wee free our selves from guiltinesse of their blood that perish without our indevour to save them? |
A15505 | or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith, and I will restore it you? |
A15505 | or whom have I hurt? |
A15505 | what peculiar favour is this that even reprobates partake? |
A42049 | ''T is our Saviour''s own Argument: Watch, there''s his counsel; but what''s his motive? |
A42049 | Accepisti dentes ad macellum corrodendum: cur non potiùs ad omnem hiatum& rictum tuum coronandum? |
A42049 | And what then? |
A42049 | But are his Works so too? |
A42049 | But how must that be kept? |
A42049 | But how will he help it? |
A42049 | But what must we watch? |
A42049 | But what''s the reason? |
A42049 | But why all this? |
A42049 | But why to them? |
A42049 | But will Christ make good this Name? |
A42049 | But you''l say, What is there in the Heart of man that needs all this watching? |
A42049 | Evil how? |
A42049 | For, tell me, what is there to be named that''s worth so much as Souls? |
A42049 | He saw a woman: what then? |
A42049 | Hence the Apostle thus exhorts us, Abstain from fleshly lusts: why? |
A42049 | How easily is the heart of man conquered? |
A42049 | Is thine eye evil? |
A42049 | Is thy servant a dog, that he should doe this great thing? |
A42049 | It was but an uncharitable and saucy reply which Cain made to God, Am I my brother''s keeper? |
A42049 | Quanta inhumanitas& feritas est omnem fraterni amoris affectum exuisse& abjecisse? |
A42049 | Quis nocturnis Convocationibus, si ità oportuerit, à latere suo Conjugem adimi libenter feret? |
A42049 | Shall I instance in these 3 particulars onely? |
A42049 | Should he come and surprize us in our beds of security, O what would become of us then? |
A42049 | So here, What''s the name of a Watchman, if we are found fast asleep? |
A42049 | Tell me then, shall we carefully secure a little contemptible dirt, and yet expose our choicer Treasure? |
A42049 | Tell me, Sirs, are we indeed grown such Giants in Grace that we need no guard? |
A42049 | Tell me, Sirs, who amongst you would not save an ordinary neighbour''s beast from drowning? |
A42049 | The Devil walks his rounds, and shall man lie secure? |
A42049 | The Subjects of this Command, the Persons to whom it belongs; Who must watch? |
A42049 | The heart is deceitfull: but how? |
A42049 | This argument is not mine, but St. Peter''s; Be sober, be vigilant: but what needs that? |
A42049 | Thus do God, Christ and Angels answer their Names; and why should not we answer ours? |
A42049 | What mean all these Commands, if we are not bound to watch over one another? |
A42049 | What then? |
A42049 | What''s that? |
A42049 | What''s that? |
A42049 | an aequum non erat ut major natu frater minoris tutelam& custodiam gereret? |
A42049 | and if so, what pittifull things are these compared with Souls? |
A42049 | and in what measure? |
A42049 | and what? |
A42049 | and why? |
A42049 | and yet, as little as it is, O what great mischief doth it work? |
A42049 | are we grown such strong men in Christ that we need not fear to be surprized by the Flesh, World, or Devil? |
A42049 | cur non potiùs ad pulsus linguae temperandos? |

A42049 | nay more, who amongst you would not gladly be instrumental to save your very enemie''s house from being robbed or burnt to ashes? |
A42049 | quàm nullo negotio huc illuc impellimur? |
A42049 | shall we set a guard upon an handfull of earth, and yet hazard our richest Jewel? |
A42049 | the Devil himself doth roar, and is not man concerned to look about him? |
A42049 | upon what score is it that man stands thus obliged to watch over Himself, his Eye, his Tongue, his Hand, but above all his Heart and Spirit? |

A52885 | What are they, say I, but Parables? |
A52885 | What are those Discourses of the Sower, Merchant, Leaven, Mustard- seed; of the Wedding- Supper, Virgins, Talents; yea, of Dives and Lazarus? |
A52885 | What is Jotham''s Discourse of the Trees going to choose a King, other than an Allegory? |
A52885 | what Ezekiel''s comparing Jerusalem and Samaria to two Harlots, named Aholah and Aholibah? |
A12203 | Am I fit to end my dayes? |
A12203 | Am I in a state fit for heaven? |
A12203 | And have wee not Scriptures to shew that all is Vanitie? |
A12203 | And is there not a danger in being drawne away to hazzard our Soules? |
A12203 | And so for conversing with company, are they such as are comfortable and cheerefull? |
A12203 | And therefore why should we looke after perishing things, and neglect better? |
A12203 | And will pretending this excuse men when they are called to duties? |
A12203 | Are all things perishing food, such as we must leave, vaine and emptie things? |
A12203 | Are all things vaine, and shall I not labour to have my part in that that shall never die in him that is my Husband for ever, and my Lord for ever? |
A12203 | Are not all things so that are here, if we be Christians indeed? |
A12203 | But what is this for the Sacrament? |
A12203 | Come to a man that is gasping out his life, and aske him, what doth honours doe you good? |
A12203 | Compare this short time here, of health and strength, of honour and place, and friends, what is this to Eternitie? |
A12203 | Could this excuse him? |
A12203 | Doe I grieve for these? |
A12203 | Doth hee that acts the part of a Nobleman upon the Stage think himselfe better than another, that acts the part of a Poore man? |
A12203 | For instance, Those that have wives, have they not beene drawne away by their wives, as Solomon was to Idolatrie? |
A12203 | For is not God worth all? |
A12203 | God makes fooles of them, for how few have you that goe beyond the third generation? |
A12203 | Have wee not experience of former times? |
A12203 | How are these five directions inforced? |
A12203 | How few houses have you, that are now in them can say, My Ancestour dwelt here, and these were his Lands? |
A12203 | How is it with me for world without end? |
A12203 | How many things doth this poore life need while wee are in this world? |
A12203 | How should we use it? |
A12203 | How? |
A12203 | I, but is my soule as it should be? |
A12203 | If I have Christ what can I want, when I receive the Sacrament, having Communion with Christ? |
A12203 | If a friend bee dead, shall a man bee therefore angry? |
A12203 | If things come amisse in his Inne, will hee quarrell with Host, that hee hath not a soft bed? |
A12203 | If we doe not make use of it, we are worse then the Divell himselfe, he makes use of the shortnes of his time, what doth hee? |
A12203 | Is reckonings eaven betweene God and my soule? |
A12203 | Is there not a danger of being drawne away? |
A12203 | Now shall wee be immoderate in any thing that passeth away? |
A12203 | Shall I ioy in that that I can not inioy? |
A12203 | Shall I not labour to strengthen mine Interest in him that hath all good things in him? |
A12203 | Shall I not therefore looke for those comforts and those graces, and for that condition, that will abide when I am gone hence? |
A12203 | Shall I oppose Cods sentence? |
A12203 | Shall wee grieve much for the losse of that that wee can not hold? |
A12203 | Shall wee make all things subordinate to them, as worldlings doe, subordinate Religion to worldly things, and make all things contrary? |
A12203 | Shall wee stand upon apparitions, that the more wee know them, the more wee shall undervalew them? |
A12203 | The fashion of this world passeth away; value them by that they have of eternitie, what of the Spirit is in them? |
A12203 | There is a danger to be hurt, and a danger in being hurt, did not sinne come in that way? |
A12203 | There is a goodly shew and Apparition: what is within? |
A12203 | To adde a little in this point, This is the reason why none but a true Christian can carry himselfe moderately in the things of this world, why? |
A12203 | VVhat is become of Babylon, and all those goodly Cities? |
A12203 | VVhat is become of Ierusalem? |
A12203 | VVhat is become of Rome? |
A12203 | VVhat is the Sacrament, but the Food of our Soules, our Everlasting Manna, that will continue for ever, and make us continue for ever? |
A12203 | VVhat is the ground of this, that all things are thus passing? |
A12203 | VVhat is this point of time to eternitie? |
A12203 | VVho promised thee thou shouldest enioy thy wise long, that thou shouldest enjoy thy children long, thy place long: haste thou a promise for this? |
A12203 | Was not Adam led away by his wife? |
A12203 | Wee say if a glasse be broke, is a man much angrie? |

A12203 | What is within the things of this life? |
A12203 | What thoughts hath hee of his Eternall estate, of the fading condition of these things? |
A12203 | What time? |
A12203 | What to use them as if they had none? |
A12203 | When a Christian is all in passion, all in Ioy, all in feares, or in griefe: why, what is the matter at that time? |
A12203 | Why should wee dote upon a perishing fashion? |
A12203 | Why should wee promise our selves that which the Word doth not promise us, or that wee can not see experience of in the world? |
A12203 | Why would wee have a condition severed from all men? |
A12203 | Why? |
A12203 | and how many men perish by being too Vxorious, by being too flexible in that kinde? |
A12203 | are they new Creatures? |
A12203 | are they new borne? |
A12203 | are they such as may helpe to the main? |

A12203 | how few houses have you, that the childe, or the Grand- childe can say, this was my Grand- fathers, and my Great Grand- fathers? |
A12203 | is there not a great deale of care? |
A12203 | no: why do I intangle my selfe in that which hinders the maine? |
A12203 | to care for them, as if they had none? |
A12203 | what desperate follie is it to venture the losse of Eternitie, for the enioying of these things? |
A12203 | what desperate folly were it? |
A12203 | what doth possessions doe you good? |

A23744 | 7? |
A23744 | A will resign''d to God''s, how does it enervate and enfeeble any calamity? |
A23744 | Alas, what are her feeble charms, that she should expect by them to fix the giddy appetites of youth? |
A23744 | And alas what recompence can the little blandishments and caresses of a mother make her children, for such important such inestimable mischiefs? |
A23744 | And indeed to what can we more reasonably impute the great overflowings of profaneness among us, then to our ill- husbanding the means of Grace? |
A23744 | And what rational expectation can they have of that, when they do not invoke it? |
A23744 | But what speak I of an hearty Reverence, when''t is visible that there are those who pay none at all? |
A23744 | But, in the mean time, what security do they give for the truth of their pretensions? |
A23744 | Can she make it her study to please her appetite, that remembers that Dives''s unintermitted feast ends in as unallaied a thirst? |

A19487 | is it not those who mourne? |
A19487 | n What shall I say vnto thee? |
A19487 | onely because his works were good: Rahel hated her Sister Leah; and why? |
A19487 | or how shall hee giue vs that comfort for which wee neuer mourned? |
A19487 | or to discourse of the comfortable light of the Sunne to him that is without eies? |
A19487 | quaenam natura biliosa est? |

A19487 | to whom murmuring? |
A19487 | to whom strife? |
A19487 | to whom wounds without cause? |
A19487 | what folly then is this, that the time of Grace, wherein wee should make peace with God, is passed ouer with vaine and merry talking among men? |
A19487 | what reward can be giuen vs, seeing what euer other thing he giues, is lesse then himselfe? |
A19487 | what said hee is Christianity? |
A25970 | 5.2, 3. shall be sent to consume, not his house, alone, but himself for ever? |
A25970 | And can we think upon these doleful Consequences of our Inconsiderateness, and not be frighted into a speedy Examination of our Ways? |
A25970 | And how shall the Wicked sue for Peace, to whom God hath declared there is no peace? |
A25970 | But alas, what Security can they give themselves of arriving at that Time? |
A25970 | But instead of endeavouring to compose the differences, foment and cherish them, instead of cementing the breaches, widen and enlarge them? |
A25970 | But why shou''d we look so much at the hardships in our way, as not to mind the pleasures at our journey''s end? |
A25970 | For when the great day of his wrath is come, who shall be able to stand? |
A25970 | Have not we reason to prefer the toil and hazard of such a Conflict, before a life more intolerable than death in all its terrors? |
A25970 | Have we seen no form or comliness in our Saviour, during our small enjoyment of his presence? |
A25970 | How shall they obtain his Pardon for their Sins, when even the Prayers that beg it, help to encrease their number? |
A25970 | How shall we afflict our selves, when we see some of our own Family received into the Houshold of God, while we are not allowed to tarry in his sight? |
A25970 | If we are afraid to have our Fellow- creatures conscious of our Crimes, why do not we stand more in awe of the most effectual Witness, God himself? |
A25970 | Is Youth any more proof against Mortality than Age? |
A25970 | Is it because we think he will keep our Counsel, and never publish or divulge our Secrets? |
A25970 | Nay, is it not rather more subject to it? |
A25970 | Or was it not just, that for want of shewing Mercy, he should have Iudgment without Mercy? |
A25970 | Or would the Murderer be caught in the inhumane act, with the stains of reeking gore upon him, in that day when God shall make inquisition for blood? |
A25970 | Shall we then be, like Antipater, not at leisure, when our Thoughts would present us with a Treatise of the Way to Happiness? |
A25970 | That is, their desires and inclinations had an eager bent to Murder: and that saying of the Spouse ▪ I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them? |
A25970 | The vaniety of their desires meets with vexation of Spirit in all things, and they are still upon the inquiry, who will show us any good? |
A25970 | There will be no sounding of God''s Bowels, or of his Mercies towards us: And to which of the Saints shall we turn? |
A25970 | We may very well put the question, How can a man then understand his own way? |
A25970 | What Office is there to Assure their Lives to such a Period? |
A25970 | What an illustrious Figure did Obadiah make in the Court of Ahab, or the Saints in Nero''s House? |
A25970 | What shall become of them, who from their tender infancy have been imployed in the drudgeries of Satan, and bending their course to Hell? |
A25970 | What then may we think will become of us, who have no such Arguments in our behalf, if Men of these Qualifications can miscarry? |
A25970 | When our Liberty is restrained by some bodily Distemper, and our Power suspended by some enfeebling Languishment? |
A25970 | When the Elders of the daughters of Sion sate upon the ground, who could blame the Prophet for making it matter of complaint? |
A25970 | When the man of God told Hazael with tears what evil he would do to Israel, he replyed, Is thy Servant a Dog that he should do this great thing? |
A25970 | Why should we be more terrified with the difficulties and hazards of the Combate, than encouraged by the Triumphs that attend the Victory? |
A25970 | Why should we give him occasion to expostulate with us as he did once with Israel? |
A25970 | Will not our Affliction be suited to our Loss? |
A25970 | and if the Righteous scarcely be saved, where then shall the Vngodly and the Sinner appear? |
A25970 | and the question God put to Satan, hast thou considered my Servant Job? |
A25970 | and what do we else, while we become thus querulous, but condemn our selves out of our own mouths? |
A25970 | have we given him the honour due unto his name? |
A25970 | have we offered him the Sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay''d our vows unto him? |
A25970 | have we taken the Cup of Salvation and called upon it? |
A25970 | is in the Hebrew, Hast thou laid him to thy heart? |
A25970 | or could we perceive no beauty in him, that we should desire him as we have done heretofore? |
A44691 | And I may add, can it be comfortable to us, he should have no other interest in us than he hath in Devils? |
A44691 | And again, ille qui adoptabatur — utrum i d fieri pateretur? |
A44691 | And dare we, who live, move, and have our being in him, refuse to be, live, and move to him? |
A44691 | And first, Let it be considered, Are there no like cases? |
A44691 | And how shall he, while you hold off your selves from him? |
A44691 | And if that were done never so seriously, must one be a Christian alwaies, onely by the Christianity of another, not his own? |
A44691 | And that least should appear of caution, care and punctual dealing, in our very greatest concernment? |
A44691 | And what a reproach do you cast upon him, when you give others occasion to say his own, they that have devoted themselves to him, dare not trust him? |
A44691 | And what are these sanctify''d for, but to be used and exercised? |
A44691 | And what can be to you the ground of an higher fortitude? |
A44691 | And what limit can be set to a love, whose object is infinite? |
A44691 | And who is there of us that finds not himself under sufficient obligation, by the mercies of God, unto all this? |
A44691 | And would you think of any less noble Sacrifice? |
A44691 | Are the Collatine people in their own power? |
A44691 | Are the Collatine people in their own power? |
A44691 | Are there no mercies( confer''d or offered) that do peculiarly oblige us more? |
A44691 | Are we not rescued from a necessity of perishing, and being lost for ever, in the most costly way? |
A44691 | Are we too considerable to be his, or his Mercies too inconsiderable to oblige us to be so? |
A44691 | Are you devoted to God? |
A44691 | As a bridegroom rejoiceth over his bride, so will thy God rejoice over thee) and shall not we? |
A44691 | Can any thing less be thought worthy of a God? |
A44691 | Can men excel God in praise- worthy things? |
A44691 | Can they be unsafe that have devoted themselves to God? |
A44691 | Estisne vos legati Oratoresque missi à populo Collatino, ut vos populumque Collatinum dederitis? |
A44691 | For how unlikely were it, and absurd to suppose, that a man should seriously devote his child to God, that never devoted himself? |
A44691 | For is not the Devil invisible too? |
A44691 | For what else can you doe with your self? |
A44691 | For, let such a One think, what particular reason can I have to exclude my self from such a consenting Chorus? |
A44691 | He that provideth not for his own,( his domesticks) those of his own house, hath deny''d the faith, and is worse than an infidel? |
A44691 | How great a day in a man''s life doth he count his marriage day? |
A44691 | In which it is fit for us to tolerate our selves? |
A44691 | Is it fit that a man''s Religion should be less the matter of his solemn choice, than his inferiour concerns? |
A44691 | Is it reasonable one should be a child and a minor in the things of God and Religion all his daies? |
A44691 | Is that too much? |
A44691 | Is this that God is less conversable with men? |
A44691 | Lord, whither shall we go? |
A44691 | My self? |
A44691 | Or can we think it fit, in it self; we should be no otherwise his, than( as one well saies) Fields, Woods, and Mountains, and brute Beasts? |
A44691 | Or to whom he may not say, in a far more eminent sense, than the Apostle speaks it to Philemon, thou owest even thy self also unto me? |
A44691 | Stand, shall I? |
A44691 | That when he chooses his dwelling, his calling, his servant, or master, he should seem thrown upon his God, and his Religion, by chance? |
A44691 | The one sort, through natural incapacity, can not, by consent, be his? |
A44691 | They have lamented your sin, are you never therefore to lament your own? |
A44691 | They have prayed for you, are you therefore never to pray for your selves? |
A44691 | To have dedicated one self to God, if seriously, and duly done; would it have less power to possess One, with an holy, calm, peacefull temper of mind? |
A44691 | Were we not lost? |
A44691 | What am I? |
A44691 | What an horrid complexion of mind did Cain bear with him hereupon? |
A44691 | What need we, then, do over again, a thing already done? |
A44691 | Wherefore do ye spend your money for that which is not bread? |
A44691 | Which the Apostle''s reasoning implies, He that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? |
A44691 | Who? |
A44691 | Why should I spoil the harmony, and give a disagreeing vote? |
A44691 | Why should any One be more willing to be saved than I? |
A44691 | Why should any man be, more willing to be dutifull, and happy than I? |
A44691 | Will we refuse to give God what we owe? |
A44691 | Will you think, he can be like such a One? |
A44691 | You are to discharge your self of all unsuitable cares, for will not he take care of his own, Who hath put so ill a note upon them that do not? |
A44691 | You can not be happy without it, For who should make you so but God? |
A44691 | alwaies in nonage? |
A44691 | and the other, through an invincible malignity, never will? |
A44691 | and to what more noble purpose? |
A44691 | and your labour, for that which satisfieth not? |
A44691 | have you dedicated your selves? |
A44691 | he that was to be adopted, whether he was contented it should be so? |
A44691 | if not the Children of a Prince, should live free from care? |
A44691 | is there no difference in the case of reasonable creatures and unreasonable? |
A44691 | less willing to be found of them that seek him? |
A44691 | or deny the Lord who bought us? |
A44691 | shall I? |
A44691 | theirs who profess devotedness to him, and theirs who are his profest enemies? |
A44691 | to be just to God, or have him good to me? |
A53689 | 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? |
A53689 | 3. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord, or who shal stand in his holy place? |
A53689 | 7. Who goeth a warfare at any time at his own charges? |
A53689 | And shall we be senseless of her reproaches who bears us unto Christ? |
A53689 | Are ye not then partiall in your selves, and are become Judges of evill thoughts? |
A53689 | Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with unrighteousness? |
A53689 | Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirit? |
A53689 | If we have sowen unto you spirituall things, is it a great thing, if we shall reap your carnall things? |
A53689 | Is the crime of a back- slider in spirituall things less? |
A53689 | It is written in the Law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the Oxe that treadeth out the corne; doth God take care for Oxen? |
A53689 | Just vindication of the Church against calumnies, and false imputations; who can endure to hear his parents in the flesh falsly traduced? |
A53689 | So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? |
A53689 | Some delight to dwell alwaies upon a frailty; they deserve to find no charity in the like kind: For injuries, who almost can bear untill seven times? |
A53689 | Striving is unseemly for Brethren; why should they contend about the world, who shall joyntly judge the world? |
A53689 | THE greatnesse of the work, for which who is sufficient? |
A53689 | The best of them is but a brier, and who will leave their Pastor in such briers? |
A53689 | The strength of the opposition, which who almost can resist? |
A53689 | Who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? |
A53689 | Who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? |
A53689 | Would not such a thing be called villany? |
A53689 | and what communion hath light with darkness? |
A53689 | who is offended, and I burne not? |
A55005 | And what grace to strengthen? |
A55005 | I wish that every day among my first thoughts, one may be, What special business have I within doors? |
A55005 | It is an unthankful sin, we deserved Hell and scape that, and are promised Heaven instead of it, are we not bound to referre other things to God? |
A55005 | Our own, is not the life more than meat? |
A55005 | Whether lately raging, and even but last day or night prevailing over me? |
A55005 | and the body than rayment? |
A55005 | and whether thou wilt endeavour to have thy mind in the perfectest temper or not? |
A55005 | or even begun to obtain some vigour? |
A55005 | wherein I have been exceeding feeble of late? |
A55005 | within my soul, What sin to mortifie? |
A54060 | After the Apostacy, doth not God renew his Commission, and send forth his Angel( for they are all but one) to preach his everlasting Gospel? |
A54060 | And this I may say concerning its appearance in this our Age, Was ever the like Unity known and brought forth since the dayes of the Apostles? |
A54060 | And were not they that did hearken and obey, commended? |
A54060 | But in a Case of doubt or difference, which shall be the Judge; the Measure of Life within, or the Testimony of others without? |
A54060 | But is not this a turning away from the measure of Life in a mans own vessel, to another mans measure? |
A54060 | Did not Christ give power of Government to his Apostles and Ministers, at the first publication of his everlasting Gospel? |
A54060 | Had they not power over them in the Lord? |
A54060 | Shall I judge, as I feel the thing, in the measure of my own Life? |
A54060 | WHether CHRIST, who is the Head, Lord, King,& c. hath not appointed a Spiritual Order and Government to be in his Church and Congregation? |
A54060 | Were there not some reliques of this Order and Government all along the Apostacy, in the true Church and Ministry thereof? |
A54060 | Why, or how so? |
A54060 | and have they not authority and gifts as well to build up as to plant? |
A54060 | and were not the other that were not subjected, but slighted them and their Ministry and Authority, testified against as disorderly and unruly? |
A54060 | s.n.,[ London: 1663?] |
A59231 | But how will it appear that''t is so easily determinable by common reason, which is the right Rule of Faith? |
A54070 | And can any thing grow and thrive out of the Order and Wisdom of God? |
A54070 | And how doth he also endeavour to raise prejudices among the Begotten, that he may interrupt, and( if possibly) stop their building up? |
A54070 | And is not this present dispensation pure and living, and able to preserve both the Instructers and Instructed in the Lord? |
A54070 | And my Friends consider, Could the Lord carry on his glorious Work, in the hearts of his Children, without his judgements? |
A54070 | Besides, are there not many that have witnessed, and that can witness from God, that this is the dispensation which is to go through the whole earth? |
A54070 | Dost not thou set up the measure of Life in thee( if not another thing) beyond its place, state and growth? |
A54070 | Doth he not know the need of bowels and tenderness in them, and would be not especially furnish them therewith? |
A54070 | How doth the Enemy strive to prejudice the World against them, that there may be no begetting to God from amongst them? |
A54070 | Is it not of the Light, Life and Power of the Father, manifested in the Seed, and in the Soul through the Seed? |
A54070 | Is not the sence quick, and the love pure, where this is felt? |
A54070 | Nay, if thou couldst but retire to the pure measure that at first quickened thee, mightest not thou feel thy own fall? |
A54070 | Now doth it not concern every one to look up to the Lord, to guide his heart in searching, that he may truly understand his state? |
A54070 | What wouldst thou have, poor Soul? |
A54070 | When he hath brought forth that which will do the thing, why should he change it? |
A54070 | Yea, have they not bowels from, and in the Lord? |
A54070 | and doth not the eye that is open see, and acknowledge their bowels, and bless the Lord for them? |
A54070 | and shall it be laid aside in the beginning of its work? |
A53926 | ''T is a question that many ask when they are dying, Whether they shall be saved or damned? |
A53926 | 2. to lay it to heart: to cast and consult with our selves in this, as in other matters, saying, Hence I must: and whither then? |
A53926 | And how shall we do to live in this hard World? |
A53926 | And how wilt thou be made meet to be partaker of that inheritance of the Saints in light? |
A53926 | And is not the welfare of thy body involved in the welfare of the Soul, and that for ever? |
A53926 | And is not thy body earthly, frail and fading? |
A53926 | And shall not the life of this Soul run parallel with the life of God, and line of Eternity? |
A53926 | And what hope or assurance hast thou of an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens? |
A53926 | Do you not find it now and then tottering, as if it were ready to drop down? |
A53926 | For it''s Covetousness, Ambition, Voluptuousness, which the Apostle calls the lusts of the flesh? |
A53926 | How wilt thou do to be saved? |
A53926 | Is not thy Spirit an Heavenly Plant, the immediate product of the Divine breath, of the Eternal Wisdom and Power of God? |
A53926 | Never once asking their Souls in good earnest; Soul, what wilt thou do for that Bread which came down from Heaven? |
A53926 | O how preposterous then is the Care of most men, whose contrivance is chiesly for the body, to gratifie and please the flesh, and to provide for it? |
A53926 | Or wherewith shall we be cloathed? |
A53926 | Or, do you think our Blessed Lord overvalued it, in saying, it should profit a man nothing to gain the whole world, and lose his soul? |
A53926 | There is an everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels:''This is my desert: how shall I escape it? |
A53926 | This I desire; how shall I obtain it? |
A53926 | To make so much provision for the Flesh, and none for the Spirit? |
A53926 | To prefer Dirt before that which is Divine? |
A53926 | What madness is it then to take so much care for the former, and so little for the latter? |
A53926 | What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? |
A53926 | What shall thy state be eternally? |
A53926 | What shall we eat and drink? |
A53926 | Whether they shall be happy or miserable, when they go hence? |
A53926 | is, Who will shew us any good? |
A53926 | that which is bruitish, before that which is the Picture of Gods own Perfections? |
A53926 | to have Conscience fly in your faces, and accuse you for your falsness and unfaithfulness in your places and relations? |
A53926 | whither must my next remove be? |
A56582 | And( now, alas) what is Sins last Extent? |
A56582 | For, can a Leopard change his Spotted Skin? |
A56582 | Of h ● s own will he beg it us, that w ● might be a k ● nde of his first fruits of the creation: What is this first fruits? |
A56582 | What manner of persons should we be in spirituall respects also? |
A56582 | he chuseth an uncertain hope before a certain death, here I dye, here I may live, if I might escape how happy were I? |
A56582 | how sh ● ll I avoyd the pinch of beggery, the shame of an undone man, that sorrow that will ensue? |
A56582 | how shall I live and passe my life? |
A56582 | if the Court be down, what shall become of the Seargents, Writs, Arrests, Executions, Outlaws, or fines and forfeits? |
A56582 | whose is all that he hath save theirs? |
A10839 | A man of his worth so to be used? |
A10839 | And how good is it, sayth one, that this worm should be felt, whilst it may be killed; and gnaw for a time, that it may be choaked for ever? |
A10839 | And how should they expect honour from their children, who have dishonoured their parents? |
A10839 | And how should we make account, that God should hear us, if we hear not our selvs? |
A10839 | And if God left not himself without witnesse in his works of creation, and providence; how much lesse in his written Word? |
A10839 | And if the Holy Scriptures direction reach unto the whole course of our life, how much more of our Religion, or worship of God? |
A10839 | And what avails it the ravenous bird to devour that, which belongs not to her, if therewith, she her self be taken by the leg, in the Fowlers snare? |
A10839 | And what if his hope stretched it self to the Monarchy of the whole World? |
A10839 | And what is this offence many times? |
A10839 | And what shall we think of the Spaniards Romish zeal? |
A10839 | And who knoweth Gods will but by revelation of his Spirit? |
A10839 | Are there not many Elyes in all Ages? |
A10839 | Besides, if the woman be a necessarie evill, how evill is the man, for whom she is necessarie? |
A10839 | Besides, what strange thing is it to see a Stone fall downward, or a Spark fly upward? |
A10839 | But how many grown men pray but with litle,( if any) affection, that they may not be beaten in hell? |
A10839 | But what is the shadow to the substance? |
A10839 | But what is this peace, unto which not a few of those good oratours so earnestly, and eloquently perswade? |
A10839 | But who would have his childe like his horse in his bruitishnes? |
A10839 | Els, what wise man should not be a fool also? |
A10839 | For how can that worship of God please him, which is not according to his will? |
A10839 | For what burthens of afflictions, and temptations will not he cherfully undergo, that expects undoubtedly their speedie ending in endlesse happinesse? |
A10839 | For who can understand his errours? |
A10839 | For who knoweth what a day will bring forth, and whether the opportunitie of doing good, will continue till to morrow, or no? |
A10839 | Have we hurt him before? |
A10839 | He? |
A10839 | How close doth this corruption cleav unto us, and how dangerous is it withall; for the purging out of which, the Lord useth such a medicine? |
A10839 | How extreamly rich would many be? |
A10839 | How good were it for inferiours, that Superiours minded this, ● s they ought? |
A10839 | How mightie, and powerfull some? |
A10839 | How much better for themselvs? |
A10839 | How much more, and greater a mercy is it, when they receav the grace to consecrate their youth and best dayes to God in holynes? |
A10839 | How oft do men, though remaining, in nature, reasonable Creatures, perform acts plainly unreasonable and brutish, thorough ignorance, or appetite? |
A10839 | If it be a good thing to appear good, how much more to be so indeed? |
A10839 | In their infancie, how soon is the tender bud nipped or bruised by sicknes, or otherwise? |
A10839 | Is any among you afflicted? |
A10839 | Is he a good man? |
A10839 | Is he a malicious, and unmerited enemy? |
A10839 | Is he wicked? |
A10839 | Now what Christian heart( any way tender of Gods glorie) bleeds not at the worlds impietie this way? |
A10839 | Now, if it be here demanded, whether the injuries offered by freinds, or by others, be lesse tolerable? |
A10839 | Now, who would not strive to excell other men in that, wherein men excell all other Creatures? |
A10839 | Or what fool should not be a wise man? |
A10839 | So the first labourers in the vyneyard sayd of the last, to him which hyred them; why givest thou so much unto them? |
A10839 | Temporary torments, specially those more great, are greivous to conceav of; how much more to undergoe? |
A10839 | What Nabal should not be liberall, yea bounteous, when he makes a feast like a King? |
A10839 | What intention could be better, or action worse? |
A10839 | What is it then? |
A10839 | What strange thing is it, if an earthen pot get a crack? |
A10839 | What? |
A10839 | Who ever shall finde a black- mouthed blasphemer cursing,& swearing in his Books? |
A10839 | Who knoweth with how little God can, and doth save many, being faithfull in learning what they can, and in observing what they know? |
A10839 | Yea who can say with how little, and unperfit Faith in Christ both for degree, and parts, God both can, and doth save the sincere in heart? |
A10839 | he but gives us our due, and why should we not take it at his hands? |
A10839 | how dejected, and depressed many more? |
A10839 | how many extreamly poore? |
A10839 | or a happy life, who despise the author of their life under God? |
A10839 | or if a silly worme be troden upon? |
A10839 | or look that God should be mindefull of us, if we our selvs mynde not, with intention of thought, and desire what we ask of him? |
A10839 | or that he, who is litle, be litle set by? |
A10839 | sayth the Apostle, let him pray: Is any merry? |
A10839 | specially by such a one? |
A10839 | why should we marvayl, if he do his kynde? |
A10839 | yea, I add, then many take for hell, which their wickednes brings upon them unavoydably? |
A58946 | Ainsworth, Henry, 1571- 1622? |
A58946 | And is the difference between us but in this second point of eating with offence, as you would pretend? |
A58946 | But for the offence of others he saith, Eat it not; And why? |
A58946 | For why might not Beasts that chewed not the Cud be eaten then, as well as Beasts that did chew the Cud? |
A58946 | Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; and whatsoever is set before you by an unbeliever, eat making no question for conscience sake? |
A39268 | A man for the punishment of his sins? |
A39268 | Alas, what would become of the World, if God should disregard it, slacken the reins of his Government, and permit all to the hands of men? |
A39268 | And are they not as much in love with their own devices as we can be with ours? |
A39268 | And are we then sure that we are equal or superiour to them in strength? |
A39268 | And how many Blessings may we enjoy under the worst of Governments which we have never in the least deserved? |
A39268 | And shall they not be as zealous to promote them? |
A39268 | And shall they not be inclined even by that love, when they see they must side with one, to oppose the first disturbers of their Peace? |
A39268 | And shall we now think the worldling a fool, to be either modest or peaceable when he fears to be poor by being so? |
A39268 | And what confidence can men have that God will bless their devices, whilst they make not ● i m of their Counsel? |
A39268 | And who then will not be proud of any thing, when they know of nothing better? |
A39268 | And will they not venture as far to accomplish their designs? |
A39268 | Are these men our Enemies and such as are like to oppose our designs? |
A39268 | Are they at present our Complices or Partners? |
A39268 | Are they not lovers of Peace, upon what Principles it matters not? |
A39268 | Are we Christians bound, without any dispute at all, to swallow down every Doctrine which our Teachers shall commend unto our Faith? |
A39268 | Are we sure that their hearts are as our hearts, that we may safely give them our hands and take them up into the secrets of our Bosomes? |
A39268 | Are you sure that if you saw with the humble mans eyes, things would not appear to you much otherwise then now they do? |
A39268 | As impatient of all opposition to or attempts against them? |
A39268 | But he is not so; Mans goings are of the Lord, how can a man then understand his own way? |
A39268 | But still there is no inchantment or divination against Israel; so long as God is with us, what can Hell do against us? |
A39268 | But, say some, how is it possible we should esteem men contrarily to what we see them to be? |
A39268 | Can we from mens faces or looks have any probable guess, with whom they will joyn when it comes to Tryal? |
A39268 | Can we have any assurance that they will continue so when they are in a strait betwixt two, and are like to be devoured by both or either? |
A39268 | Close Plots and private Conspiracies of men sworn upon the Sacrament to Secresie who can be so quick- sighted as to discover? |
A39268 | Do we suppose these men to be our friends? |
A39268 | For if only or chiefly, as Solomon tells us, by Pride cometh Contention, then by what else but Humility can Peace and Concord come? |
A39268 | For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal? |
A39268 | Hast thou Faith? |
A39268 | Have not they devices of their own as well as we? |
A39268 | Have they not interests of their own? |
A39268 | Have we been blest with a good Government, wholesome Laws, the free exercise of our Religion, and use of our Estates? |
A39268 | Have we hitherto of a long time enjoyed the blessings of Peace and Plenty in a good and fruitful Land? |
A39268 | He is of one mind, and who can turn him? |
A39268 | He that dares too confidently trust his own heart is but a fool, how much more is he so, that dares trust anothers? |
A39268 | How do they clash and combat within him, like the thoughts of a man lost in a Wilderness? |
A39268 | How happy a thing would it be for the Church of Christ? |
A39268 | How is it possible after all this, that a Gra ● e so lovely in the eyes of God and man, should yet find such cold entertainment amongst us? |
A39268 | How many and various have been the devices of men against us? |
A39268 | How should any man think otherwise, that knoweth what God is, and what is due to him from his Creature? |
A39268 | How soon would the World look with another face? |
A39268 | How vain must be the devices of his heart, who is himself at best but vanity? |
A39268 | If you have not Authority from God for what you do, he will say, Who hath required these things at your hand? |
A39268 | Is is not most likely, it will be with their lawful Governors, under whom they have so long enjoyed their beloved Peace and Quietness? |
A39268 | Is the party we oppose but small and inconsiderable? |
A39268 | Lastly, are these men Neuters? |
A39268 | May not Egypt( if we have such a thing to trust to) prove a bruised Reed, and run into the hand of him that leans upon it? |
A39268 | May we not oppose Falshood, and contend for the Truth, and refuse to do wickedly when we are bid by men in Authority? |
A39268 | O how do they hug themselves to see us so industrious to save them a labour, and ruine our selves? |
A39268 | Or if we be ▪ are we also as sure, that they are not our overmatch in policy or interest? |
A39268 | Or lastly, are they likly to sit Neuters? |
A39268 | Or suppose we them our Enemies, and such as appear Adversaries to our designs? |
A39268 | Secondly, Do these men indeed love themselves, and their own safety? |
A39268 | This is the work of Humility, but where shall we find Humility enough to do this work? |
A39268 | Thus therefore is he always saying to himself, What tho my Neighbours faults seem more than mine? |
A39268 | What a Bedlam would the whole World soon be ● ome, if all men were left to be ruled by the devices of their own hearts? |
A39268 | What a happy change in the face of the World would even this make? |
A39268 | What a price then may we justly set on these Proverbs of Solomon, whose rare Wisdom for its singular eminency is its self become Proverbial? |
A39268 | What hopes can men have that their devices shall prosper without Gods Blessing, seeing not a Sparrow falls to the ground without him? |
A39268 | What is there in the World that such men can reasonably be afraid of? |
A39268 | What strange devices and devilish contrivances hath he put into mens hearts to obstruct the work of God amongst us and set forward his own? |
A39268 | What then can be our work, but that which becometh the Subjects of so absolute a Monarch? |
A39268 | What tho the good that he hath done seem much below what I have done? |
A39268 | What would we now have more to encourage us to the practice of this vertue? |
A39268 | What, saith he, tho I see little good in him, may there not be much that I can not see? |
A39268 | Whatever they be now, can we tell whether they will be the same to morrow? |
A39268 | Where shall a man hope to find a Church that is Sanctuary enough against Covetousness? |
A39268 | Whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
A39268 | Whilst one will brook no superiour, and another no equal, what''s become of Peace? |
A39268 | Who art thou that judgest another Mans Servant? |
A39268 | Who can know whether they be so indeed? |
A39268 | Who is there so foolish as to be willing to disquiet his own soul, and cast away his peace for nothing? |
A39268 | Who knows whether they will prove firm and faithful to our Counsels? |
A39268 | Why should a living man complain? |
A39268 | Why should you not do thus, but that you think he doth not well, or that he hath not an over- ruling hand in all that is done? |
A39268 | Will not this do against the Lord of Hosts? |
A39268 | With whom took he Counsel? |
A39268 | Would we answer our Vocation or Calling to Christianity? |
A39268 | Would we assure our selves of Gods blessing on us all as his Children? |
A39268 | Would we be perfect? |
A39268 | Would we know the very best of him that is to be known? |
A39268 | Would we now be the Children of God, and beloved of him? |
A23752 | 12. but what impression can a sword make on a body of air; which still slips from, and eludes its thrusts? |
A23752 | 2 NOW what method imaginable can there be used to rational creatures of more sorce and energy? |
A23752 | 24. ye have taken away my Gods which I have made, and the Priest, and are gon away, and what have I more? |
A23752 | 31, 32. with what regrets and relentings do''s he think of abandoning them? |
A23752 | 5. when he teaches us that highest, and yet most certain Alchimy, of refining and multiplying our enjoiments, and then perpetuating them? |
A23752 | 8. should frame Laws in their favor, make Acts of toleration and indulgence for them? |
A23752 | ALAS what human writing is there of near that Antiquity, wherein there are not many passages unintelligible? |
A23752 | AND hath God don nothing to get him a repute among us? |
A23752 | AND then in the second place, what calm can there be to such a mind? |
A23752 | And alas, what will it avail us that our opinions are right, if our manners be crooked? |
A23752 | And if it should happen to succeed in such a particular Church, yet what is that to the universal? |
A23752 | And if men would but universally conform to them, to what a blessed harmony would it tune the world? |
A23752 | And if the Jewish Church had no such right, upon what account can the Christian claim any? |
A23752 | And what Patron will not expect observance from one who thus subsists by him? |
A23752 | And when a thing is proper for such noble purposes, can it be the part of a wise man to apply it only to mean and trivial? |
A23752 | And when their per ● erseness frustrates all this his holy Artifice; how passionately do''s he expostulate with them? |
A23752 | And whence is all this caution but from a universal consent that writing is the surest way of transmitting? |
A23752 | BESIDES, admit it possible that so many could have join''d in the deceit, yet what imaginable end could they have in it? |
A23752 | BUT what human kindness is there that can come in any competition with the Divine? |
A23752 | BUT, besides all this, what shall we say, if the power it self of giving Licences be a mere shew, and really signifies just nothing? |
A23752 | But alas what is the profoundest wisdom of men compar''d with that of God? |
A23752 | But what are those things which we ought to enquire into? |
A23752 | But who ever laid down their lives in attestation of that, or any human composure, as multitudes of men have don for the Bible? |
A23752 | But yet with how much deeper anguish will it reflect on it self as the Author of that deprivation? |
A23752 | Can we think that they who rally upon all that the former Prophets have writ, would look with much reverence on what the new ones should say? |
A23752 | Do''s any Nation trust their fundamental Laws only to the memory of the present Age, and take no other course to transmit them to the future? |
A23752 | FIRST for the predictions, what signal completions do we find? |
A23752 | Fear ye not me saith the Lord? |
A23752 | For when Tradition was objected to him, he answers; Whence is this Tradition? |
A23752 | Had not he drawn mankind out of his original clay, what had we bin concern''d in all the other works of his Creation? |
A23752 | Has Christ enlarg''d its Charter? |
A23752 | How exactly are all the denunciations of judgments fulfill''d, where repentance has not interven''d? |
A23752 | How great a shame is it then for Christians to defalk that reverence from the true God, which heathens allow''d their false ones? |
A23752 | How impious a folly is it then in us, to Idolize human Wisdom with all its imperfections, and despise the divine? |
A23752 | How ingenuously apt was Nathans Apologue to David, whereby with holy artifice he ensnar''d him into repentance? |
A23752 | How often are they upbraided with the better examples of the brute creatures? |
A23752 | How shall I give thee up Ephraim? |
A23752 | How shall it be known that there was such a man as either Seller or Purchaser? |
A23752 | How will it recollect the many despis''d tenders of grace, the easy terms on which salvation might have bin had? |
A23752 | I ask then, had the Jewish Church by vertue of its being keeper, a power to supersede any part of those Oracles intrusted to them? |
A23752 | If the same rigor should be extended to secular cases, what a damp would it strike upon commerce? |
A23752 | If we think yes, why is he the only person to be disregarded? |
A23752 | Is it possible that any men in their wits should be so stupidly credulous, as to incur the penalty of those Laws upon so improbable an indemnity? |
A23752 | Is this house which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eies? |
A23752 | Many indeed have pretended impotency as a motive of compassion; but what could they gain by owning a cure they had not? |
A23752 | NOW in all these cases how possible is it that primitive Tradition may be either lost or adulterated? |
A23752 | Now at this rate of infidelity, what way will they leave God to manifest any thing convincingly to the world? |
A23752 | Now of those many who defame Holy Writ, how few are there that have the industry to inquire into those particulars? |
A23752 | Now suppose God should now raise us Prophets, and inspire them after this manner; what would the merry men of this time say to it? |
A23752 | Now what have we to found this confidence on besides the faith of History? |
A23752 | Should we not conclude him mad, that should attemt to fell a mighty Oak with a Pen- knife, or stop a Torrent with a wisp of Straw? |
A23752 | So also for property, if nothing of testimony may be admitted, how shall any man prove his right to any thing? |
A23752 | To what purpose are the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? |
A23752 | We are all very niggardly towards God, and should have bin apt to have ask''d Judas''s question; to what purpose is this wast? |
A23752 | What a multitude of subjects are there in the world, who never saw their Prince, nor were at the making of any Law? |
A23752 | What instance is there of the greatest tenderness and love, which God has not adopted to express his by? |
A23752 | What needs the labor of the course if the prize be certain? |
A23752 | What piercing exprobrations do we find of Israels ingratitude? |
A23752 | What saiest thou, O man? |
A23752 | Who is there that questions there was such a man as William the Conqueror in this Island? |
A23752 | Why may it not then be as possible for others to do the like thro a greater excess of incredulity? |
A23752 | Why will ye die O house of Israel? |
A23752 | Would any but an Idiot wast that Soveraign Liquor in the washing of his feet, which was given him to expel poison from his heart? |
A23752 | and how could he believe that, but upon the credit of those who have bin there? |
A23752 | do''s any man purchase an estate, and leave no way for his children to lay claim to it, but the Tradition the present witnesses shall leave of it? |
A23752 | has he left the sacred Scriptures with her, not to preserve and practice, but to regulate and reform? |
A23752 | has he no excellencies to deserve our esteem? |
A23752 | how readest thou? |
A23752 | how shall I deliver thee Israel? |
A23752 | how shall I make thee as Admah? |
A23752 | how shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
A23752 | how solemnly protest his aversness to their ruin? |

A23773 | For, who is there, almost, in the World, that knows not but that he must die, but how few are they that consider it? |
A23773 | HOW contritely doth it expostulate with Heaven; My dearest Redeemer, is that amiable Attribute of thy Mercy lost? |
A23773 | He that despises not the VVorld, to follow Christ, how will he be qualify''d to lay down his Life for him? |
A23773 | He who took care of thee before thou wer''t born: Will his Providence neglect thee, now thou art fashioned after his own Image? |
A23773 | How actively do we run after the Vanities of the World, but in Thy Service pretend faintness? |
A23773 | How easie and alluringly, O Lord, are we led by the counterfeit and transitory Pleasures of this Life, from Thee? |
A23773 | How few is there, that have desired to learn it? |
A23773 | How many apt Scholars is there in the World, that hath perfectly learn''d this Lesson, and imprinted it in their Memory? |
A23773 | IF Honour be the Subject of our Ambition: What are Scepters and Crowns, but Illustrious Miseries? |
A23773 | IF Innocency be the Robe of Heaven, who then would not diligently strive to be adorn''d with Purity? |
A23773 | IF this happens to the Just, what shall become of wretched Sinners? |
A23773 | If this be the Recompence of true Sanctity, who would neglect Religious Duties? |
A23773 | Is the Fountain of it dried up from a poor and wretched Sinner? |
A23773 | Let us now be upon the Grand Inquest; Is not Sin a Leprosie? |
A23773 | Now some will object, If it be a Duty so Necessary, how comes it to pass, that it hath been so geeerally Neglected by most Christians? |
A23773 | Now the Query is, Whether his Boldness, or his Love to Christ, prompted him to this Heroick Action? |
A23773 | Oh, how infatuated are they then, which indulge themselves to that which is liable to Corruption? |
A23773 | Or shall we imagine every step too tiresom, that conveys us to Everlasting Glory? |
A23773 | Or will the silent Grave require no other Fee than so rich a Miser? |
A23773 | Or, what signifies a Bed of Gold, to one in a burning Fever, unless the State or Pomp could abate the Torment? |
A23773 | SET not thy Affections upon the World; for it shall pass away; and all the things that are therein, shall be consumed with fire? |
A23773 | Shall the temporary Allurements of Sin eclipse the Memory of thy Glory? |
A23773 | Shall they that are ignorant of Thee, be more passionately Just, than we that have traced out Heaven, and expect Eternity to succeed? |
A23773 | Shall they who can, by the Eye of Faith, take a prospect of Eternity, look down upon this Lower World with Affectation? |
A23773 | THE Majesty of Heaven is the Riches of his Servants; then why should''st thou not seek after that which will compleat thy Happiness? |
A23773 | Tell me, ye stupid Chasers of the World, what ye aim at in all your Pretences? |
A23773 | That Sovereignty for which thou enslavest thy self, and lost the perfect Freedom of thy Immortal Soul? |
A23773 | That with the Pharisee, embrace Formality for your Religion, and make an external Piety your Duty? |
A23773 | V. ALL the Applause and Breath of the VVorld is insignificant, if thy Bosom Friend, thy Conscience, accuse thee? |
A23773 | V. CAN those transitory Enjoyments that allured away thy Immortal Part, restore it in convenient time? |
A23773 | VVhat in thy Life, but a Lump of Flesh? |
A23773 | VVhat is mortal Man the better, for gaining a Reputation of a greater value than others, if he is disesteem''d in the sight of God? |
A23773 | VVhat wast thou in thy Conception, but sinful Corruption? |
A23773 | VVhy doth mundane, ambitious Honour delight thee? |
A23773 | WHO then would offer up that Part an Oblation to the World, which might be render''d the Instrument of so much Felicity? |
A23773 | WHY art thou perplexed, O my Soul? |
A23773 | Was ever Grief so great? |
A23773 | Was not the lofty Pharisee a greater Leper than the poor Publicane, though so ambitiously he display''d his proud Plumes? |
A23773 | Were there no Difficulties, no skilful Trials to be past through, who, of a Mortal, would not become a Saint? |
A23773 | What Happiness receive we from those fleeting Honours, and transitory Treasures we so highly valued? |
A23773 | What Miracles of Piety? |
A23773 | What availeth the Praises of Men, if the Voice within accuseth us? |
A23773 | What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? |
A23773 | What number of Years has thou reign''d in sulphurous Fire? |
A23773 | Where are all those fine Diversions that divested thee of thy Piety, and the Thoughts of thy Creator? |
A23773 | Whither then shall I fly? |
A23773 | Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burning? |
A23773 | Who can tell how oft he offendeth? |
A23773 | Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A23773 | Why then art thou proud, O Earth and Ashes? |
A23773 | Why then do we deferr our Repentance, and procrastinate it from day to day? |
A23773 | Ye that scoff at Heaven, and make Divinity a Garment for Unrighteousness? |
A23773 | and aim not at sublimer Things than what this sublunary World can afford? |
A23773 | and are so backward from Confessing their Crimes, that they are become obdurate in their Impenitence? |
A23773 | and suffer the Profuseness of his wanton Blood to revel there, where sublimer Passions and Flames should triumph? |
A23773 | and why art thou dubious of the Mercy of God? |
A23773 | but to undoe others, and lose your Souls? |
A23773 | nay, even wade thorough Seas of Blood, to arrive safe at the Port of the Heavenly Cannaan? |
A23773 | or any Sorrow like unto my Sorrow? |
A23773 | or the Memento of thy Sins, the Destruction of thy End? |
A23773 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? |
A23773 | those pleasing deluding Vanities that swept away all sense of Heaven, and fore- sight of thy Future State? |
A23773 | what Griefs, what Pains and Torments are these thou undergoest? |
A23773 | what will our loose Liberties, and those fond Delights we so eagerly chas''d after, now yield us? |
A54501 | & c. But what if there be no Heaven? |
A54501 | A wounded Conscience who can bear? |
A54501 | Ah Sir, quoth the other, what if there be a Hell? |
A54501 | And if you ask me( after all) what you shall do with your fears to which your sex and condition prompt you? |
A54501 | Ask the Afflicted? |
A54501 | Ask the Damned what they aile? |
A54501 | Ask the distressed Conscience? |
A54501 | Be doing your own work, what ever your condition be; Tell me what our blessed Lord did, but the work he was sent about? |
A54501 | Believe me, If sin made our Saviour cry My God, my God,& c. What is the weight of sin? |
A54501 | Certainly the Fourth Commandment is the Key to all the rest; for how shall the rest be practised if not taught? |
A54501 | How bitter is the remembrance of good hours ill spent? |
A54501 | How cuting of time lost? |
A54501 | How few lose any thing by quietness, and doing their own work? |
A54501 | How manie sad Experiences can I witness to of this kind, yea in these times and changes? |
A54501 | I honour Laws, and good Lawyers heartily, and know their use; only ease, expedition, and cheapness, what good man doth not call for? |
A54501 | My dear Child, tell me, how couldst thou be without God''s Rod? |
A54501 | Oh, How many say their Prayers backwards, call him Father, who is not their Father, would not have his Name hollowed, nor his Kingdome come? |
A54501 | Remember the Swaggerer that met the poor man ever mourning over his sins,( quoth he) What, still mourning? |
A54501 | Remember, this day ends suddenly; How unworthy to put the Lord off till tomorrow, and how retaliated? |
A54501 | The nature of sin is poison, do not stay till to morrow for an Antidote; What got Lots Wife by lingring in Sodom? |
A54501 | Upon all this you may ask what design I drove, being look''d upon that way? |
A54501 | We know no more than we Practise, yet we shall never practise without Knowledge; How many Scriptures give Evidence to this? |
A54501 | and how taught, if not time allowed? |
A54501 | and what time more likely to carry a Blessing, than Gods Appointment? |
A54501 | how can we lift up wrathful hands to Heaven? |
A54501 | how many say words? |
A21109 | & c. These being the highest prices then, what were they, may we ghesse, in some former yeares, before they came to this height? |
A21109 | A ready way to saue a great deale of that cost and waste, which is vainly and needlesly many times( what if I said wickedly also?) |
A21109 | Alas, to there no Balme in GIlead,, is there no Phisition there, that the health of the Daughter of my people might be recouered? |
A21109 | Also our Sauiour before, If any man take away thy coate, what then? |
A21109 | And cares not how good, but how golden hee is that seekes it? |
A21109 | And doest thou herein, but as thou wouldest be done vnto? |
A21109 | And what due courses taken that they may bee according to their places and calling, their Learning and labours condignely prouided for? |
A21109 | And, If any giue thee a blow on the cheeke, what? |
A21109 | Are you resolued heathen- like, that Dulcis lucri odor, ex re qualibet: Gaine is good, how euer it be gotten? |
A21109 | As Iudas said, when hee minded his purse, howsoeuer hee pretended the poore, so may not we, Quorsum haec perditio? |
A21109 | At whose hands wil the liues& of those men, and the blood of those soules be required? |
A21109 | But may we beleeue, that so long as men can blinde the world or auoid the law of man, all is well? |
A21109 | But what speake I of Gods Law in this case? |
A21109 | Could there a day bee found, and a way bee made, euen when thou wast reforming Religion, to deformethe Church? |
A21109 | Doe any of the Rulers beleeue on him( Christ?) |
A21109 | Doe you sacrifice to your net, and burne incense vnto your yarne, because by them your portion is fat, and your meate plenteous? |
A21109 | Doth this seeme strange to any? |
A21109 | Farther, what need so many lawes and statutes? |
A21109 | For what is it else that the Pharisies did so much stand vpon vnder name of the traditions of their Elders? |
A21109 | For who should enact what is iust and equall, if not Iustice it selfe? |
A21109 | Giue him twaine? |
A21109 | God pleased? |
A21109 | I doe not now make question, whether Tithes be a matter of diuine right? |
A21109 | If I bee a Lord, or a Maister, where is my feare? |
A21109 | If a trumpet giue an vncertaine sound, who will make himselfe readie to the battaile? |
A21109 | If it bee a course conscionably good, and fit for vs, thus to be tyed to one rate still, why is it not also good for themselues? |
A21109 | If not, shall not his bloud be required at thy hands? |
A21109 | Is it not too too euident, that the whole land thorough, neere one halfe( in number or worth) of their liuings, are seazed into lay- mens hands? |
A21109 | Is that good for vs, which is ill for them? |
A21109 | It is mine owne Money that I spend, mine owne goods that I waste, and what hath any to doe therewith? |
A21109 | It is recorded of a certain Philosopher, that asked on a time, What he had gotten by that kind of studie? |
A21109 | More: A father would haue his child honour him, a Prince his subiect to obey him, and may iustly say, If I be a Father, where is mine honour? |
A21109 | Must he serue and sterue? |
A21109 | No case more cleare? |
A21109 | Now being thus dealt with, doe men herein deale with them, as they would bee dealt with themselues? |
A21109 | Now how are they dealt with? |
A21109 | Some may happely maruell, why now of late, wee doe more complaine of, and repine at customes, prescriptions,& c. then formerly men haue done? |
A21109 | Stolen waters are sweete: but how long? |
A21109 | Think what warrant you haue from God, that he is pleased to forgoe his hallowed things? |
A21109 | Think with what equitie and conscience you can be partakers with the altar, and not attend at the altar? |
A21109 | This charge and cost to maintaine Ministers and Teachers, Schollers and learning,& c. is it not superfluous? |
A21109 | What can pierce the very soule, and euen kill the heart of an ingenious Scholler, and ingenuous nature, if not this? |
A21109 | What haue I done? |
A21109 | What needeth al this waste? |
A21109 | Who can not learne this without any great labour? |
A21109 | Why? |
A21109 | Would any of them be content with a halfe, or a quarter( sometimes not somuch) of his liuing, and patrimony? |
A21109 | Wouldst thou be content another man should haue made such spoile& wast in thy ground, or in thy vineyard, as thou hast done in this mans? |
A21109 | and account that he is honestly vsed, and that no wrong, no iniurie is done to him, so long as he hath some pittance and little part thereof left him? |
A21109 | and as properly annexed and belonging to the ministery of the Gospell, as once to the Priesthood of Leui? |
A21109 | and hid bread is pleasant: but to whom? |
A21109 | and lose his sacred right? |
A21109 | and make your selues merry with your prey? |
A21109 | and reape so great an haruest of carnall things, not sowing any spirituall? |
A21109 | and such assure themselues they haue not sinned, in this, nor sold their soules with their sales vnto the diuell for filthy gaine? |
A21109 | and they among whom he soweth spirituall things, to allow him to reape their carnall, in at least a competent measure? |
A21109 | and what assurance, that yee shall escape his Iudgement, and not incurre the danger of his curse, for laying your prophane hands vpon his holy things? |
A21109 | and what did they censure our Sauiour and his Disciples so hardly for, but their customes? |
A21109 | and when thou shouldest haue restored the spoyles thereof, to make of her a greater prey? |
A21109 | and which properlie and originally was by God and man to that verie end and purpose allotted and allowed? |
A21109 | can Wee alone endure to buy at one price, and sell at another? |
A21109 | decree what is holy and good, if not Goodnesse it selfe? |
A21109 | his so many, and so great things? |
A21109 | how deepelie many of vs are constrayned to ingage our selues and our friends for such things, before wee can attaine them? |
A21109 | if a Prince, my Obedience? |
A21109 | j First of all, What prouision is there made for their maintenance? |
A21109 | or prescribe what is fit and necessarie, if not Wisedome it selfe? |
A21109 | pray and pine? |
A21109 | preach and perish, because that once was his, is taken from him? |
A21109 | so long ere you were borne, giuen vp, deuoted and consecrated to his vse and seruice? |
A21109 | so many Canons and Constitutions to be enacted, made& published? |
A21109 | so many proclamations and edicts? |
A21109 | take thou away his for it? |
A21109 | the conscience cleare? |
A21109 | to take but such wages for his labour, such paie for his seruice, as was allotted in like cases sixe or seauen score yeares agoe? |
A21109 | was it equitie? |
A21109 | was there reason? |
A21109 | what hath beene vsed heretofore? |
A21109 | why were not these lawes continued against others, aswell as against vs? |
A21109 | ▪ Thinke well whether it be a truth in Diuinitie, that without Restitution of any goods vnlawfully gotten or kept, there is no Remission? |
A54069 | And is not every one wise in his own Eyes, and strong in his own Tower and fenced City? |
A54069 | But dost thou want power to begin the travel with? |
A54069 | But that which cries, how shall I get out of Egypt? |
A54069 | Dost thou walk in the light, which shineth upon thee in that dark land, to gather and lead thee out of it? |
A54069 | Hast thou begun thy travel? |
A54069 | Hast thou not light enough already to begin thy travel out of Babylon? |
A54069 | Have not every sort bent the Scriptures, in the Reasonings of their own Minds, and made them speak according to their own hearts Lusts? |
A54069 | How can Man do this? |
A54069 | How can they in the Wilderness but want that, which is to be possessed in the Holy Land? |
A54069 | Is there any uniting with God, or enjoying of God, but by his Spirit? |
A54069 | Is this true? |
A54069 | It is the unbeliever hangs back, and cries where shall I have power? |
A54069 | Man overlooks the Talent, joyns not his heart to it, brings not forth the fruits of Life to the giver, but cries he wants power, and what is he? |
A54069 | Now let men consider, will this stand before the Throne of God? |
A54069 | Now mark: Is it possible for any man to come to the Eternal Rest, that travels not the Path? |
A54069 | Or wilt thou not begin to come out, till the very glory and brightness of Sion shine upon thee? |
A54069 | What doth he require of Man? |
A54069 | What had become of Paul, if he had had Power to resist the buffettings of the enemy, as he desired? |
A54069 | Whether God be not so near to every man, as that possibly he may seek after him and find him? |
A54069 | and wheher God will fail to impute it to that man? |
A54069 | and whether his Divine Light let into him( being believed in and obeyed) will not purify him from the darkness, unbelief and disobedience? |
A54069 | can he cleanse his own heart? |
A54069 | can he kill his corruptions? |
A54069 | can he quicken himself? |
A54069 | dost thou want what proportion of power the Lord fees necessary for thee in thy present estate? |
A54069 | doth he not appear there by his Light,& in his Power? |
A54069 | is not this his plea, that he wants power? |
A54069 | is there any receiving of Gods Spirit, but within in the heart? |
A54069 | may he not do it? |
A54069 | or, whether he would have only some few of them to receive it and be Saved, and the rest to Perish? |
A54069 | what can he do? |
A54069 | which way shall I ever be able to pass through this intricate wilderness? |
A54069 | who shall bound his Spirit? |
A54069 | would not his fleshly part have remained in the exaltation, and not have been brought down? |
A30153 | A man that nameth the name of Christ, and that departeth not from iniquity; to whom may he be compared? |
A30153 | A son honoureth his Father, and a servant his Master: If then I be a Father, where is mine honour? |
A30153 | A work, did I say? |
A30153 | And again, Am I a Sea, or a Whale, that thou settest a watch over me? |
A30153 | And he that is altogether a stranger to these things, how dwelleth the Love of God in him? |
A30153 | And how can a man that went last time out of his Closet to be nought, have the face to come thither again? |
A30153 | And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another mans, who will commit unto you that which is your own? |
A30153 | And is hope, that this day is approaching, a reviving cordial to thee? |
A30153 | And what need was there of any of this, if Paul could, as he would, have departed from iniquity? |
A30153 | And what says John in his first Epistle, and first Chapter? |
A30153 | And why call ye me Lord, Lord, saith he, and do not the things which I say? |
A30153 | And why, follow the apish fashions of the world; hath the God o ● wisdom set them on foot among us? |
A30153 | And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? |
A30153 | Are not, now adays, the bulk of professors like those that strive at a Gnat and swallow a Camel? |
A30153 | Art thou a professor? |
A30153 | Ask thy heart, what evil dost thou see in sin? |
A30153 | Besides, What greater contempt can be cast upon Christ than by such wordy Professors is cast upon him? |
A30153 | But I ask, how came nature to be so weak, but through sin? |
A30153 | But do you think it is because of the first? |
A30153 | But how little of this is found among men? |
A30153 | But is there therefore no need at all of good Works, because a Man is justified before God without them? |
A30153 | But perhaps some may ask me, what iniquity they must depart from, that religiously name the name of Christ? |
A30153 | But say one, would you have us singular? |
A30153 | But thou wilt say unto me, Why do men profess the name of Christ, that love not to depart from iniquity? |
A30153 | But what man in the world can do this, whose heart is not seasoned with the love of God, and the love of Christ? |
A30153 | But what shall I do, I can not depart therefrom as I should? |
A30153 | But what sinners are these? |
A30153 | But what unbecoming language is this for the Children of the same Father, members of the same body, and heirs of the same glory to be accustomed to? |
A30153 | But what''s the reason? |
A30153 | But whither doth he draw them? |
A30153 | But why? |
A30153 | Can repentance be where godly sorrow is not? |
A30153 | Dost thou profess the name of Christ, and dost thou pretend to be a man departing from iniquity? |
A30153 | Dost thou profess the name of Christ, and dost thou pretend to be a man departing from iniquity? |
A30153 | Dost thou religiously name the name of Christ? |
A30153 | For a man to be content with this kind of Faith, and to look to go to Salvation by it: what to God is a greater provocation? |
A30153 | For how can the servant of this my Lord, talk with this my Lord? |
A30153 | For, What iniquity is, who knows not? |
A30153 | How is iniquity in thine eye, when severed from the guilt and punishment that attends it? |
A30153 | How look thy duties in thine eyes, I mean thy duties which thou doest in the service of God? |
A30153 | How much hast thou be ● n grieved to see others break Gods Law, and to find temptations in thy self to do it? |
A30153 | How sick art thou of sin? |
A30153 | I ask again, wherein dost thou think, the blessedness of Heaven consists? |
A30153 | I have said it, nay a thousand times, and yet it offereth it self and its deceits to me again, what would you have me do? |
A30153 | I say wouldest thou go to Heaven, because''t is a place that''s Holy, or because''t is a place remote from the pains of Hell? |
A30153 | I say, what wilt thou say to this? |
A30153 | I say, where is the honour they should put upon them? |
A30153 | If the salt has lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? |
A30153 | Is it b ● cause they think themselves u ● worthy of their holy fellowship? |
A30153 | Is it because thou wouldest be saved from Hell, or because thou wouldest be freed from sin? |
A30153 | Is it not common now adays for Parents to be brought into bondage, and servitude by their children? |
A30153 | Is the Truth? |
A30153 | Mark a Just man, a Righteous man, his righ ● eous soul,& c. But how obtained he this char ● cter? |
A30153 | Moreover, I would ask with what face thou canst look the Lord Jesus in the face, whose name thou hast profaned by thine iniquity? |
A30153 | Now some may say, But what shall we do to depart from iniq ● ity? |
A30153 | Now this is a daring thing: I know their lies, saith he: and shall he no ● recompence for this? |
A30153 | O wretched man that I am,& c. What complaints, what confessions, what bewailings of weakness is here? |
A30153 | Or art thou like the Ostrich, whom God hath deprived of wisdom and has hardned her heart against her Young? |
A30153 | Samson withstood his Dulilah for a while, but she got the mastery of him at the last; why so? |
A30153 | That it cleaves to the best, who knows not? |
A30153 | That it is disgraceful to profession, who knows not? |
A30153 | The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life: but what is the fruit of the wicked? |
A30153 | To be short, what says Paul in the seventh to the Romans? |
A30153 | To speak nothing of the first Table, where is he that hath his love manifested by the second? |
A30153 | To what end should such be comprehended in this exhortation of his? |
A30153 | What Nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them as his people have, and as he is in all things that we call upon him for? |
A30153 | What agreement then hath the temple of God with Idols? |
A30153 | What better melody can be heard? |
A30153 | What better words can come from man? |
A30153 | What is the cause? |
A30153 | What man would count himself beloved of his Wife, that knows she hath a bosom for another? |
A30153 | What meaneth the heat of this great anger? |
A30153 | What means dost thou use to mortifie thy sins? |
A30153 | What shall I say? |
A30153 | What then? |
A30153 | Where is Paul that would not eat meat while the world standeth, lest he made his brother offend? |
A30153 | Where is the man that is zealous of moral holiness? |
A30153 | Where is the man that walketh with his Cross upon his shoulder? |
A30153 | Where shall the fruits of repentance be found? |
A30153 | Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? |
A30153 | Whom dost thou pass in beauty, saith God? |
A30153 | Why wouldest thou go to heaven? |
A30153 | Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? |
A30153 | Yea, couldest thou be willing even now to partake of the means that would help thee to ● hat means, that can cure thee of this disease? |
A30153 | Yea, do not professors teach the wicked ones to be wicked? |
A30153 | Yea, they shall suck the poyson of Asps, and the Vipers tongue shall slay them, notwithstanding all their profession? |
A30153 | Yea, where is that rich man that( to his power) durst say as Job does, as is recorded in those Chapters quoted in the Margent? |
A30153 | and if I be a Master, where is my fear? |
A30153 | and says another would you have u ● make our selves ridiculous? |
A30153 | and therefore that it ought to be departed from, who knows not? |
A30153 | is it Covetousness? |
A30153 | is it as sepeparate from these, beauteous, or illfavoured? |
A30153 | is it fleshly lust? |
A30153 | is it in the holiness that is there; or in the freedom that is there from Hell? |
A30153 | of the professors that are wicked? |
A30153 | or art thou through the ignorance that is in thee as unacquainted with these things? |
A30153 | or can repentance be where the fruits of repentance are not? |
A30153 | or can that be called a justifying Faith that has not for its Fruit, good Works? |
A30153 | or is it because the Devil and wicked men( the inventors of these vain toyes) have out- witted the law of God? |
A30153 | saith the Lord of Hosts, unto you, O Priests, that despise my name? |
A30153 | shall that knowledg of him I say be counted such, as only causes the Soul to behold hold but moveth it not to good Works? |
A30153 | to their aged and worn- out P ● rents? |
A30153 | what says James in the third Chapter of his Epistle? |
A30153 | where are they that feed the hungry, and cloath the naked, and send portions to them, for whom nothing is prepared? |
A30153 | wherein art thou bettered by the profession, than the wicked? |
A30153 | wherewith shall the salt be salted? |
A30153 | who speaks to their aged Parents with that due regard to that relalation, to their age, to their worn- out condition, as becomes them? |
A30153 | will it please thee when thou shalt see that thou hast brought forth Children to the murderer? |
A10024 | 2. Who shall stand when he appeares? |
A10024 | 29. now what thinke ye shall be done unto such? |
A10024 | Againe, doth the Lord send any creature to comfort thee? |
A10024 | Ahab is rich enough, and Haman hath a wife and children, and yet what comfort and joy had they in them? |
A10024 | And Christ himselfe saith, that it is more blessed to lend then to borrowe, to give then to receive, may wee not then desire them? |
A10024 | And lastly, if a pardon be granted, see, Is there a love and a delight in Christ? |
A10024 | Art thou in favour with a great man, Who promoted thee? |
A10024 | Art thou in honour, Who exalted thee? |
A10024 | Art thou poore, who can enrich thee? |
A10024 | Art thou weake, who can strengthen thee? |
A10024 | But how farre may a man desire wealth, where must hee set limits to his desires, where must they be restrained? |
A10024 | But some man will be ready to say, what needes all this? |
A10024 | But this may seeme a strange thing, a thing of impossibility to get the Spirit; for you will say, How is it in our power to get the Spirit? |
A10024 | But whether may not a man take care to get wealth, is not a man to care for his estate, to increase it, and to settle it? |
A10024 | But will not wealth and friends profit us? |
A10024 | But you will say unto me, How shall we doe to get this loathing of earthly things? |
A10024 | But you will say unto mee, How shall I know that my heart is renewed by the Spirit, and that there is a new life put into me? |
A10024 | But you will say unto mee, How shall wee attaine this worke of Mortification? |
A10024 | But you will say unto mee, May wee not use Eloquence and Science in the Preaching of the Word? |
A10024 | But you will say unto mee, What must we doe with our learning? |
A10024 | But you will say unto mee, Wherein is the regenerate man able to doe more than another man, or more then he could doe? |
A10024 | But you will say, How can the Spirit of Christ, which is the holy Ghost, dwell in the heart, seeing he is in heaven? |
A10024 | But you will say, The heart is of a great depth, and who can search it? |
A10024 | But you will say, there are divers kindes of Faith, What Faith is this then that thus purifieth the heart? |
A10024 | Come unto me all you that are weary and heavie laden, and I will ease you: Now what will hee ease them of, the guilt? |
A10024 | Every man is ashamed of indiscreetnesse in his carriage, now, what is the cause of indiscreetnesse? |
A10024 | Except the Lord speake once and twice to us, we will not regard it: Paul was troubled with a strong affection, what doth he? |
A10024 | For the first; What is meant by Members? |
A10024 | Fourthly, it makes us unfaithfull; If you have beene faithfull in a little wicked riches, how will you be faithfull in the true riches? |
A10024 | Have wee not reason to distinguish betwixt things which wee know are of a contrary nature? |
A10024 | Here may a question be asked, why men doe abstaine from murther and Idolatry? |
A10024 | Hereby then examine your selves what are the things you most delight in? |
A10024 | How can ye beleeve, seeing ye seeke honour one of another, and not the honour that commeth of God? |
A10024 | I am strong and well, in good and perfect health, is it likely the evill day is neere me? |
A10024 | If then Gods blessing be all in all, if that onely can administer comfort, and make us happy, I would aske you this question? |
A10024 | In temporall things, who knoweth what shall bee to morrow? |
A10024 | In the dayes of his flesh, who had more good by him than the Publicans and sinners? |
A10024 | Is he the only joy and comfort of thy soule? |
A10024 | It is a glorie unto God when the Professors of the Word live a holy life; for what is the nature of the Word but to cleanse? |
A10024 | It is, because their nature is to doe so; Wil you know why a sinful man is subject to affect things inordinately? |
A10024 | Know you not that the love of the world is enmitieto God? |
A10024 | Now what should move us to morifie these earthly members? |
A10024 | Reason? |
A10024 | Secondly, what is meant by earthly members? |
A10024 | Secondly, what is meant by grieving of the Spirit? |
A10024 | So that the men which were converted at Peters Sermon, did aske, What shall wee doe to be saved? |
A10024 | So, what if thy affections be changed from earthly to heavenly things, so as thou dost feele the burthen of immoderate cares cast off thee? |
A10024 | Take the deare Saints of God, and take but this Spirit from them, how would it be with them? |
A10024 | The blessing of the creature( as we call it) is of God: Doth the Lord send any creature to hurt thee? |
A10024 | The first Question is, Whether sinne may not seeme to bee mortified when it is not mortified, but onely asleepe? |
A10024 | The second motive is taken from that of Salomon, A mans spirit will beare his infirmities, but a wounded spirit, who can beare? |
A10024 | Therefore art thou weake? |
A10024 | Therefore try, is thy excessive care constant? |
A10024 | Thirdly, what is meant by quenching of the Spirit? |
A10024 | Wee now come to a third poynt, and that is, what are those things that are to bee mortified? |
A10024 | What is the reason of this? |
A10024 | What is the reason, a man takes to heart the death of his friend, or the like accident? |
A10024 | What, are they earthly things, how to bee rich or honourable? |
A10024 | When is a man covetous? |
A10024 | Whether after true mortification a man may fall into the same sinne againe or no? |
A10024 | Will not a man willingly part with drosse for gold? |
A10024 | Will you know the reason, why Beares and Wolves, and Lyons, carry themselves so cruelly? |
A10024 | Will you perswade men that honie is not sweet, who have tasted of it? |
A10024 | Wilt thou set thine eye on that which is not? |
A10024 | and if thou hast no knowledge of heaven, and heavenly things, how canst thou desire them? |
A10024 | and what is Prayer, but a praying or begging of grace, or for the preservation of grace, and power against corruptions? |
A10024 | art thou cold in holy performances? |
A10024 | endeavour to be humbler and meeker then other men; Is your nature more inclined to desire of gain? |
A10024 | it is the defect of wisedome, either the forgetfulnesse or not heeding of the time, place or action we are about; and what makes this forgetfulnes? |
A10024 | no surely, I will therefore goe on still in my sinne; what need I repentance, that am so well in all things? |
A10024 | or what must we not learne Sciences, or must we shew no learning in Preaching? |
A10024 | that is, wherefore art thou so restlesse with mee, that thou wilt have no deniall till I grant thee thy desire? |
A10024 | them he called, them he saved: the poore diseased wretches, how ready was hee to heale them? |
A10024 | when thou art going to hell, who can save thee? |
A10024 | when thou art sicke, who can heale thee? |
A10024 | who is able to know whether the heart be renewed or no, by the speeches? |
A08279 | Againe, how can children loue their father, and not hate what he loueth not? |
A08279 | And can his Maiesties deliuerie from Gowries conspiracie in Scotland be thought ordinarie, circumstances cōsidered? |
A08279 | And did not the Angell of the Lord that night destroy one hundred fourescore and fiue thousand men of the Hoast of Ashur? |
A08279 | And did wee not beleeue Gods promises to be Yea& Amen, what necessitie could moue vs to repair vnto him? |
A08279 | And hee that hath but one day of light in seuen, How great is his darknesse? |
A08279 | And his Votaries of pouertie and voluntarie beggerie; are not many of them fit and inclinable to any impious and most treasonable actions? |
A08279 | And how can the will frame the faculties of vtterance and other diuine affections? |
A08279 | And how follow wee his counsell, namely, to bee sober, watching in prayer? |
A08279 | And shal we think that that man that loueth God, will estrange his occasions from the counsaile of God? |
A08279 | And shall wee thinke that he will be lesse readie to hinder and resist vs in our Diuine excercises? |
A08279 | And who obserueth the least of these committed by any true member of that Church, which this malignāt Church holdeth hereticall? |
A08279 | And will hee not impart his occasions by powring them forth vnto him in praier? |
A08279 | And yet doe they thinke that it is deuotion of such acceptation with God as dischargeth Christian dutie in prayer? |
A08279 | And yet how many are there to be found in these times of common carnall securitie, that do seek their helpe at God, by humble and faithfull Praier? |
A08279 | Are these mens prayers of force to cast downe holdes? |
A08279 | Are these the instruments that are vsed by the Pope, the pretended Vicar of Christ, to support his humble ambition, and ambitious humblenes? |
A08279 | Are these their meritorious workes? |
A08279 | Are they not all that time in darknesse, not vsing the duties of the light? |
A08279 | Are we willing to bee taken from the blessed banquet of saluation, and to be cast into vtter darkenesse? |
A08279 | Are wee not enemies to our owne soules? |
A08279 | As the diuel said to Heuah, Yea, hath God said ye shall die if ye eate of the tree of the knowledge of good and euill? |
A08279 | But are not some so far from celebrating the name and seruice of God that day, as they prophane it aboue all other dayes? |
A08279 | But how hang these together? |
A08279 | But shall we recompence God for his blessings so manifold with such a high hand of vnthankfulnesse? |
A08279 | But what got hee by betraying those innocents? |
A08279 | Can any crosse, vexation, misery, or calamitie worke in them contrition& returning vnto God by repentance and prayer? |
A08279 | Can not they defend their Antichristian superstitions without the murthering of Gods owne annointed? |
A08279 | Can the tongues of men and Angels prophesie what will becom of this obdurate age? |
A08279 | Doe not all the Kingdomes of Europe admire& stand amased at our happinesse in our blessed Soueraigne? |
A08279 | Doe we not credit the premonition of the Apostle Saint Peter, that the end of all thinges is at hand? |
A08279 | Doth not God by Esay threaten the people for the arrogancie and pride of the women? |
A08279 | For were these former fauours of God written in our hearts, could our tongues cease so long from praising God? |
A08279 | HOW many doe duly consider, the efficacie of the word, Our? |
A08279 | Hath he so farre purchased for vs, as we need neyther suffering nor patience, faith nor prayer? |
A08279 | Haue any of the Gods of the Nations deliuered his land out of the hands of the King of Ashur? |
A08279 | Haue not their most hellish attempts many pretences of a holy beginning? |
A08279 | He tempted Christ the Lord, and will hee forbeare his seruants? |
A08279 | How can he then attribute praise or prayer vnto God for whatsoeuer successe, when he groundeth his hope on earthly meanes, and not on God? |
A08279 | How can it frame it selfe to pray vnto God according to the right rule prescribed vnto vs by God? |
A08279 | How can this discharge the duty of a Christian, that hath no care to serue God any other day in the weeke? |
A08279 | How can we then come vnto our father which is in heauen, where no profane thing can haue any being? |
A08279 | How can you beleeue( saith S. Iohn) seeing yee receiue glory one of another, and seek not after, nor pray for the glory which commeth from God alone? |
A08279 | How did wicked Rabshakeh raile vpon the liuing God from Senacherib his master? |
A08279 | How doe they awake ● or watch, that slumber from Saboth to Saboth? |
A08279 | How shall we then make league with this offended God? |
A08279 | How stands it then with vs who haue permitted the house of our soules to bee robbed? |
A08279 | How then can the minde conceiue how, or for what to pray? |
A08279 | How then can we truly seek him whose will our wills( as much as in vs lieth) seeketh to resist? |
A08279 | If God heareth not sinners, where shall the sinfull mans prayers appeare? |
A08279 | If then we be the children of God,& Co- heirs with him of that heauenly Kingdom; shal we not with him walke as becommeth children of such a father? |
A08279 | If we had not the promise of obtaining for our faithfully asking; what would become of Faith& Prayer? |
A08279 | Is not this a falsifying of our faith and dissembling of our prayers? |
A08279 | Is there any so blear eyed that distinguisheth not the difference? |
A08279 | Is this the holy vse that they make of this most sacred prayer? |
A08279 | May we not think that God foresaw him likely to proue too good to goe in and out before so vnthankfull a people? |
A08279 | Nay, though hee pray vnto God, and yet dependeth more, and puts more hope on secondarie meanes? |
A08279 | Norden, John, 1548- 1625? |
A08279 | Norden, John, 1548- 1625? |
A08279 | Or who will trust any God but the God of Hoasts? |
A08279 | Shal our head weepe and lament for our sinnes? |
A08279 | Shall be suffer for our transgressions? |
A08279 | Shall we bribe him as Sathan would haue done? |
A08279 | Shall we now beginne to crucifie Christ anew? |
A08279 | Shall we think our selues like that vnspotted Lambe of God, and yet defile our bodies& soules by committing sinne vpon sin? |
A08279 | Shall we threaten him as Senacherib presumed? |
A08279 | Shall wee flatter him as the Pharisie did? |
A08279 | Thou foole; if thy heart condemne thee is not God greater then thy heart, and knoweth al things? |
A08279 | To whom speaketh the Apostle this? |
A08279 | WHo is that faithfull Christian that hath practised this holy exercise, and hath not found comfort to his conscience, and helpe in his occasions? |
A08279 | WHo then among the company of Christians is there that will not be aduised? |
A08279 | What a lesson doe these words, Hallowed bee thy name, teach vs? |
A08279 | What a needlesse circumstance is this? |
A08279 | What an infinite masse of treasure is spent vpon silkes, and vanishing ornaments? |
A08279 | What arme of flesh deliuered Daniel from the Lions? |
A08279 | What can then appease his displeasure? |
A08279 | What earthly helpe had that great God to ouerthrow the Armie of Senacherib? |
A08279 | What is it that the poorest and basest seeming childe of God, may not freely speake vnto him? |
A08279 | What remaineth then? |
A08279 | What worldly or carnall aide had the three children in the Furnace? |
A08279 | Where is the God of Hamath, and of Arpad? |
A08279 | Where is the God of Sepharnaim, Hena,& Iuah? |
A08279 | Where is then the effect of their great penance, much fasting, many praiers, and infinit sectaries, and their deuotions? |
A08279 | Who can denie, but all wicked men say thus in their hearts by the fruits of their liues? |
A08279 | Who doth not then abhorre their impieties? |
A08279 | Who laboureth to become wise in the Lord? |
A08279 | Who of the ancient godly fathers did not discouer their own imperfectiō ●? |
A08279 | Who then will preferre these base earthly deceiuing Gods, and flattering goods, before the good God of Israel? |
A08279 | Who would not haue consulted with his kinsfolks& frends? |
A08279 | Will hee deliberate of any matter of importance, but will first consult with the Oracle of Gods mouth? |
A08279 | Will they not bee drawne then from their deceiuing vanities? |
A08279 | Will we needes cast wilfully off our wedding- garments, the Master of the feast being readie to suruey his guests? |
A08279 | Will we needes put out our Lampes now the Bride- groome is so neere? |
A08279 | and shall wee laugh and reioyce in the vanities of this life, and yet think to partake with Christ of his purchased Kingdome? |
A08279 | doe they not rather depend vpon the broken Reede of their owne felt outward meanes? |
A08279 | doe they not turne the glorie of God into wantonnes, to banquetting, dicing, dauncing, drunkennesse, gluttonie, and to what sinne not? |
A08279 | how haue their handes( in shew lifted vp towards heauen) bin imbrued in the bloud of Princes in the earth? |
A08279 | if he find that come to passe that hee desired, how can hee but yeeld part of the praise vnto the mediate cause, wherein hee in part trusted? |
A08279 | or can they obtaine any thing at the handes of God but reproofe? |
A08279 | or can they with all their spirituall eloquence& diuine gifts, by deliuering Gods mercies, or denouncing his iudgments, reclaim these bewitched men? |
A08279 | or so backward that will not be stirred vp? |
A08279 | or so peruerse and peeuish that will not be perswaded to practise this holy duetie? |
A08279 | the second piller of his Church? |
A08279 | to alter the natural course of things? |
A08279 | to his Countrimen, the Iewes only? |
A08279 | what man of common sense obserueth not manie precedent examples, of the weaknes and vncertaintie of carnall meanes? |
A08279 | what occasion may wee hereby take to reproue our selues? |
A08279 | without treasons, rebellions, massacres,& sheddings of bloud? |
A61867 | B. and maketh seizure thereof: Was R. C. seized of the same, when he entred into that Bond? |
A61867 | By what authority dost thou those things? |
A61867 | First of all, It is considerable, whether the promise made by the Gentlewoman and her friend, were properly a Vow or no? |
A61867 | First, Whether the Parents of the young Person be living or no, one or both? |
A61867 | Who made thee a Iudge? |
A61867 | if Married; whether he have the consent of his Wife or no? |
A61867 | or, Who gave thee this authority? |
A59548 | A 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? |
A59548 | And what I pray is the reason he is thus perswaded? |
A59548 | But what are we then to trust in, if not in these things? |
A59548 | But wherein then is there any Profit if not in these things? |
A59548 | Can that man be accounted Religious that neither loves God nor his neighbour? |
A59548 | For he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? |
A59548 | For what doth any of these worldly goods( which make us keep at distance) really add to a man in point of true worth and value? |
A59548 | How shall we be rendred more useful to the world, if our designs and endeavours as to these matters do take effect? |
A59548 | How then must we express our thankfulness for the wealth that he hath bestowed upon us? |
A59548 | In all these things, the great enquiry is to be, what good will they tend to? |
A59548 | What 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? |
A59548 | When S. Iohn Baptist came preaching Repentance unto Israel, the people asked him saying what shall we do? |
A59548 | do 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? |
A59548 | or having begun, where shall I make an end? |
A59548 | there 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? |
A02538 | & if he could make,& shall restore thee without thee why shall hee not much more( not without thy in deuor) dispose of thee? |
A02538 | A foole if I be ignorant whence my crosses come; A rebel if I know it, and be impatient? |
A02538 | Ah foolish curte, why doest thou bite at the stone, which could neuer haue hurt thee but from the hand that threw it? |
A02538 | Alas what auailes it to seeke outward releefes, when thou hast thine executioner within thee? |
A02538 | Am I a foole, or a rebel? |
A02538 | Am I in prison? |
A02538 | Am I wandring in banishmēt? |
A02538 | An easy condition of so great a benefit, hee requires vs not to earne it, but to accept it of him, what could hee giue more? |
A02538 | Any want of loue not to giue thee what he knowes is best? |
A02538 | Art thou a christian? |
A02538 | Beleeuest thou that such a mans heart laughs with his face? |
A02538 | Can I go whither God is not? |
A02538 | Can there be any want of power not to effect the best? |
A02538 | Darest thou hope God can be so kind to thee as to be vniust to himself? |
A02538 | Euen the sweetest of all flowers hath his thornes; and who can determine whether the sent bee more delectable, or the prickes more yrksome? |
A02538 | For first, how can that man be at peace, that is at variāce with God& himselfe? |
A02538 | Hast thou nothing but nature? |
A02538 | He is vnworthy of Gods fauor that can not thinke it happines enough with out the worlds? |
A02538 | Hee strikes me that made me, that moderats the world, Why struggle, I with him, why with my selfe? |
A02538 | How canst thou then faile of the best? |
A02538 | How could I abide the smell of forrain smoke? |
A02538 | How could I take this distemper? |
A02538 | How deare& welcome shall our death bee that shall but leade vs from one heauen to another, from peace to glorye? |
A02538 | How doth Platoes worldling bewaile the misery of the graue, besides all respect of paine? |
A02538 | How long? |
A02538 | How long? |
A02538 | How many meeting with an hedstrong griefe which they could not menage, haue by the violēce of it beene carried quite from their wits? |
A02538 | How ofte haue I scorned these dead and vnpleasant pleasures of earth, in comparison of thine? |
A02538 | How pleasāt shall our life be, while neither ioies nor sorrows can distemper it with excesse? |
A02538 | How shall heauen and earth smile vpon vs, and we on them; commāding the one; aspiring to the other? |
A02538 | How shall wee vnder this calme& quiet bay laugh at the rough weather& vnsted dye motions of the worlde? |
A02538 | How shoulde peace be gods gift, if it could be without him, if it could be against him? |
A02538 | Howe much better is it for thee to want a little hony thē to bee swolne vp with a venemous sting? |
A02538 | If Cesar or Agathocles be a Potters sonne shall I contemne him? |
A02538 | If Seneca could haue had grace to his wit, what wonders would he haue done in this kind? |
A02538 | If it be thy destiny, why wouldst thou know that thou canst not preuent? |
A02538 | If now he shall go away with his hands and skirt empty; how is he but worthy of a miserable want? |
A02538 | If thou see it not, blame thy carnall eyes: why doest thou fault the instrumēt while thou knowest the agent? |
A02538 | Is God wise enough to guide the heauens& to produce all creatures in their kindes: and seasons and shall he not bee able to order thee alon? |
A02538 | Lastly shall I account that good which is incident to the worst? |
A02538 | Not to depend vpon others opiniōs but to stād on our own bottoms? |
A02538 | Now I eat, sleep, digest, all soundly without cōplaint; what if a lāquishing disease shold bereaue me of my appetite& rest? |
A02538 | O death how imperious art thou to carnall mindes? |
A02538 | Or if wise Bion be the sonne of an infamous Curtizan, shall the censorious lawyer race him of the Catalogue with partus sequitur ventrem? |
A02538 | Ovaine fooles whither doth our restlesse ambition climbe? |
A02538 | Perhaps somewhere betwixt the tallest Cedar in Lebanon, and the shrubbie Hissop vpon the wall? |

A35189 | And in the end inherit the long long''d for crown of life? |
A35189 | And must it now be objected, or dare you now say, your Friends are unwilling with your souls good? |
A35189 | And shall it not much more become us to rouze up our minds to nobler things, things worth the thoughts, worthy of the cares of an immortal Soul? |
A35189 | And the light within thee led captive to the works of darkness? |
A35189 | And who indeed can have the heart to refuse or wave the righteous pleasure of the Lord herein? |
A35189 | And why not now? |
A35189 | Are you resolved to be a shame to your Friends in Life, and a terrour to your selves in Death? |
A35189 | Are you strengthning your selves in your patience to possess your souls, and in all sweet composure to bear them when they shall indeed come? |
A35189 | But are you willing to believe what God shall testifie in this matter? |
A35189 | But canst thou be indeed against the true fe ● r of God, and the making of thine own Calling, and Election sure? |
A35189 | But now secondly, being come, as God once said to Elijah, so may I to you; What makes you here? |
A35189 | Can it possibly enter into your minds, to think, that ever any good will come of sinful courses? |

A35189 | Canst thou find in thine heart to carry these golden Vessels of the Temple down to Babylon, to profane them there? |

A35189 | Hath God solemnly sworn, The soul that sinneth,( be he who he will) that soul shall die; and can you suppose, he will break his word for you? |
A35189 | Have you immortal souls* shining with such bright raies of the sacred Image of God upon them; and will you needs wilfully damn them? |
A35189 | He hath the words of Eternal life, and whether else can they find in their hearts to go? |
A35189 | Here''s a fair World, what wouldst thou have? |
A35189 | How is the beauty of Israel faln? |
A35189 | How loth would you be to have your own life now, become your death hereafter? |
A35189 | How we may most silially, and fully serve the glory of our great Creator? |
A35189 | How we may most surely escape the snares of death? |
A35189 | I Have now counselled you, but shall I say, I have also perswaded you? |
A35189 | If God hath given such intellectual endowments to any of you; canst thou satisfie thy self to debase these sweet parts, to serve sin with them? |
A35189 | Is Iesus Christ truly precious to you? |
A35189 | Is it an easie thing to serve Satan, and hard to serve the Lord? |
A35189 | Is it because the All- sufficient God is become as an empty Vine, that there is such hurrying after the world and its fading comforts? |
A35189 | Is it not enough, that you were born in iniquity; but you will stubbournly die in your sins also? |
A35189 | Is it worth the time to design( so earnestly as most do) such inferiour things as Honours, Estates, and Friends here? |
A35189 | Is thy Servant a dog( saies he, and it may be he spake as he then thought) that I should do this thing? |
A35189 | It is Heaven, it is Eternal life; I need say no more, it is your own happiness for ever, and ever; how can you turn your backs upon it? |
A35189 | It shall be our honour also before the Lord, to preserve our selves from that arraignment, Who required these things at your hands? |
A35189 | It will preserve you from contempt; for who dares despise him whose goings are with God? |
A35189 | Notwithstanding all our lothness it is come; even the day of his wrath, and who can stand before him? |
A35189 | Oh my dear Friends? |
A35189 | Oh why should you stand out against such sweet mercy, and harden your selves so unnaturally, to your own destruction? |
A35189 | Or are you further desirous to hear what Experience hath also to testifie in this weighty case? |
A35189 | Or hast thou seriously considered what this season is, what all these things mean, and at what pass thy present condition stands? |
A35189 | Or that ever you should have cause to repent your selves of any thing heartily done in obedience to the Commands of God, for the good of your Souls? |
A35189 | Or what fellowship( if we will needs remain in our sins) can Christ have with Belial? |
A35189 | Or what my life, who live therein? |
A35189 | Or where can you mend your selves? |
A35189 | Secondly, Hath the Lord by your Friends provided for you a larger measure, in the good things of this life? |
A35189 | Shall they be put to grind in that Mill? |
A35189 | Sons of Belial( against all the sweet counsels of God to the contrary) will you needs wretchedly make your selves? |
A35189 | Stay, stay, said Earth, whither fond one? |
A35189 | Such an one, Solomon at a great distance, foresees what advancement he would soon come to, Seest thou a man diligent in his business? |
A35189 | Then may Satan justly enough take up his taunt, and triumph;( as the Father represents it) † He a Servant of thine? |
A35189 | They could only cry out in the generall,( as one of them bitterly did:) Woe, woe is me, and yet what is it that I cry out so mournfully of? |
A35189 | Thirdly, Hath the Lord given you comeliness of person? |
A35189 | Those Iacobs that prize and seek the heavenly blessing betimes? |
A35189 | Those Obadiahs that fear the Lord from their youth? |
A35189 | Thou that canlt not fare with thy duty, how wilt thou ever be able to fare with thy misery, and that for ever? |
A35189 | Thou wouldst not adventure to answer thy Natural Parents with such delaies; how can God take them well at thine hands? |
A35189 | To have the foolish sins of your Youth, to stand between you, and your everlasting real happiness? |
A35189 | To whom we might too justly say,( as he) Is this your kindness to your Friend, to become my s ● ares, and enticements unto evil? |
A35189 | Verecundo Adolescence quid amabilius? |
A35189 | Wha ● can you possibly scruple? |
A35189 | What Embasement of spirit, to be renewed in our minds to the blessed Image of God? |
A35189 | What answer can you now tender; but as Christ in the Psalms? |
A35189 | What answer wilt thou now return to all this such overflowing love of so dear a Saviour? |
A35189 | What could have perswaded me to sustain the bitter, the accursed death of the Cross, if it had not been to save such as thou art from thy sins? |
A35189 | What danger think you can come of being safely reconciled unto the Lord? |
A35189 | What discredit to become a Child of the most High? |
A35189 | What dost thou want? |
A35189 | What hast thou done? |
A35189 | What hinderance shall this be to any to be made an Heir of the Crown of life? |
A35189 | What is it thy thirsty affections most pant after, for thy souls good? |
A35189 | What makes this rage, and spite? |
A35189 | What may I say? |
A35189 | What means his death, who knew no sin? |
A35189 | What means my trembling heart To be thus shie of death? |
A35189 | What shall I do for thee? |
A35189 | What words can I further use? |
A35189 | What wrong to others, to save our selves? |
A35189 | When shall I come, and appear before God? |
A35189 | Where are now those Isaacks, that meditate while they are young? |
A35189 | Where are now those Solomons, that study to know and serve the God of their Fathers? |
A35189 | Wherefore was my Side pierced with the Spear, my Head with Thorns, and my dearest Bloud poured forth? |
A35189 | Wherewithal shall a Yo ● ng man cle ● nse his way? |
A35189 | Why not this very hour, a period to all thy former filthiness? |
A35189 | Why staies my Lord? |
A35189 | Why, what hath my Lord done? |
A35189 | Will you be called Christians, and will you live like Heathens? |
A35189 | Will you have Bibles, and will you not believe them? |
A35189 | You might say as he, Here is the ● re, and here is the wood: but where is ● he Sacrifice for the Lord? |
A35189 | Your Parents have hitherto cared for you with an exceeding great care; and what shall now be done for them? |
A35189 | Your present vain pleasures made your arraignment, your condemnation, your utter undoing in the day of Judgement? |
A35189 | all you that pass by? |
A35189 | and what Bill of mortality can be made of it but only this? |
A35189 | are you at length willing to go about this blessed work, and become happy for ever, if there may be yet any hope in Israel concerning your case? |
A35189 | can I satisfie you? |
A35189 | how cutting will it be, to be made a spectacle of scorn to God, to Angels, and to Men? |
A35189 | how is it unknown, unregarded of most? |
A35189 | how long must this be all thy note, to Morrow, to Morrow? |
A35189 | how often hast thou seriously thought of this day? |
A35189 | how unspeakably to be preferred before our supercilious pride in other things? |
A35189 | is it possible, that heavenly minds should harbour such earthly passions? |
A35189 | now unweariedly doth the Lord renew his call) turn ye from your evil waies; for why( why indeed) will ye die oh house of Israel? |
A35189 | quo fugies? |
A35189 | so chearful, when it is known thou hast so little? |
A35189 | sweet day when shall it be? |
A35189 | was I numbred amongst the transgressors, and made a man of sorrows? |
A35189 | what do you purpose to do in this great matter? |
A35189 | what manner of persons then ought you to be? |
A35189 | what utter woe, and distress will they soon bring upon the whole man? |
A35189 | what wilt thou do in that solemn day? |
A35189 | what wilt thou do? |
A35189 | what would that man do with an everlasting Sabbath in Heaven? |
A35189 | whence is this horrid, this strange, and unreasonable thing; that thou wilt be under no Command, accept of no mercy heavenward? |
A35189 | why Do''st thus recoil within my breast? |
A35189 | with the ● To see thy face? |
A35189 | with thee To see thy face? |
A35189 | with thee To see thy face? |
A35189 | with thee To see thy face? |
A35189 | with thee To see thy face? |
A35189 | † Qui jurat cum repit, quid non adultus faciet? |
A35189 | † What have you ● ere to do? |
A66912 | He answered him, But wherefore do you exhort me to change my Religion? |
A66912 | How agreeable doth this place appear to me? |
A66912 | eng Rey, Fulcran, 1663 or 4?-1688? |
A41846 | 23. was it not the conviction of original sin which was within him? |
A41846 | 31. where he saith, Do ye pollute your selves with your Idols, and come and enquire at me? |
A41846 | 5 ▪ 6. where these two are joyned: and may not the nature and aggravating circumstances of that sin, make you to eschew it? |
A41846 | 5 ▪ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Iesus Christ is the Son of God? |
A41846 | 7. compared with 8. and 1. verse: when was it that Paul cried forth, There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus? |
A41846 | 7. did we solidly believe how changable those enjoyments of the world were, would we hurry our selves so much in our pursuits after them? |
A41846 | 9. where it is said, that the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperatly wicked, who can know it? |
A41846 | And again, how many in their youth? |
A41846 | And certainly, what are those things that you pursue after, but white and yellow dust and glistering clay? |
A41846 | And if this be his work, will he not accomplish it, and bring it unto perfection? |
A41846 | And there is this lastly, which points it out, that divine and invisible knot of union that is betwixt Christ and his members: Is Christ above? |
A41846 | And we shall shortly point out the evidences of lust, when it hath dominion? |
A41846 | And why then should man anxiously complain, to spend a part of a moment in enduring the most anxious and sad things that can befall him? |
A41846 | And why then should you repine at the losse of these things, which are but passing and transient vanities? |
A41846 | And,( as Christ doth most divinely speak) Can a man by taking thought, adde one cubit to his stature? |
A41846 | Can such a delusion as this overtake you, that ye shall reign with Christ, though your lusts reign with you as long as ye are here? |
A41846 | Can ye love that which crucified Christ, and brought him so low? |
A41846 | Can you add one cubit to your stature? |
A41846 | Can you read these words and not be provoked to hate sin with a perfect hatred? |
A41846 | Did you ever know or read of such a river, the waters whereof were pure delight and pleasure? |
A41846 | Did you never know what it was to bear your affliction with much inward joy and peace of mind, when you had this grace of contentment? |
A41846 | Doth not Christ his engraving of his love to sinners, in letters of blood, call for this at our hand, that we should devote our selves wholly to him? |
A41846 | Have you not a kingdom? |
A41846 | How many are hurried into eternity, in the first step of their dayes, in their infancy? |
A41846 | I only pose you with this question, is not mortification a mystery unto your practice? |
A41846 | If this question were proposed to many, when they did last set some hours apart to mortifie their sins? |
A41846 | In a manner, a humble one, and one that hath distinct knowledge of his own basenesse, knoweth not what it is to cry forth, Why am I thus? |
A41846 | Is it sit to be said to such a Prince as he is, thou art ungodly, and to condemn him who is most just? |
A41846 | It is a poor thing, when a man hath lost his good, to losse his patience also: what a poor revenge is that which a man taketh of himself? |
A41846 | Now that which secondly we shall speak to shall be this, what are the evidences and tokens of this, when lust hath dominion over one? |
A41846 | O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
A41846 | O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? |
A41846 | Ought we not to study so much holy ambition and spiritual generosity, as to undervalue all things that are below God, as being below us? |
A41846 | Saw you never such a sight of him, that constrained you to cry forth, what have I to do any more with Idols? |
A41846 | Study contentment, for that is heaven brought down to earth: for what is the happinesse and blessednesse of those that are above? |
A41846 | Suppose the whole Creation should stay with you during all your time, yet how short should your enjoyment be? |
A41846 | That which is the great idol of the world, silver and gold, what is it but more refined dust? |
A41846 | Vanity of vanities, and all things are vanity and vexation of spirit: And what can the man do that cometh after the king? |
A41846 | We would only propose this unto you, did ye never know what it was to be under the impression of the sinfulnesse of sin? |
A41846 | Were they ashamed, when they had committed abomination? |
A41846 | What could ye answer when ye are reproved? |
A41846 | What is your life but a vapour, which doth quickly evanish, and doth but appear for a little? |
A41846 | What profit have you by taking thought? |
A41846 | Who would dispute the commands of such a One? |
A41846 | Why art thou, being a kings son, lean from day to day? |
A41846 | Why should you solace your selves with those things that can not eternally remain with you? |
A41846 | Will you not imbrace him? |
A41846 | Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? |
A41846 | Would not silence and confession be your best desence? |
A41846 | Would ye know the exercise and case of those who are in everlasting chains? |
A41846 | Would ye know the reason why we are so easily puffed up under some small successe, or some small familiarity with Christ? |
A41846 | Would ye know the reason why you have not been in heaven these many dayes? |
A41846 | Would ye know the reason, why Christians die with so little faith of evidence? |
A41846 | Would you know what is the most compendious way, to have the threed of your affliction spun out unto a long length? |
A41846 | and O grave where is thy victory? |
A41846 | and what is his life but a small part of that instant? |
A41846 | and when did ye set up trophies and monuments of your victory? |
A41846 | and where shall you leave your glory? |
A41846 | but at the singing of that triumphant song, O death where is thy sting? |
A41846 | but it is a sweet and excellent study for a Christian, to endeavour patience under every lot? |
A41846 | durst we debate with him who is Almighty, or put him to render an accompt of his ways, who is that supream and absolute One? |
A41846 | eternity, eternity, what shall you do in the day of desolation, when your visitation shall come from a far? |
A41846 | how sweetly will a contented Christian, under the losse of things here below, speak to the dispraise of these fancied images? |
A41846 | how wary should we be in ingaging with vanity? |
A41846 | how would this allay us in our pursuits? |
A41846 | is it not a sinning against God, after he hath appeared unto you twise? |
A41846 | is it not a sinning against light? |
A41846 | is such a delusion as this amongst you, that ye can reign, though ye fight not, and triumph though ye contend not? |
A41846 | may not angels laugh at your folly, and have you in holy derision? |
A41846 | or, did you ever know what it was to water your coutch with tears, under the impression of it? |
A41846 | shall not the soul be fraughted with divine consolation and unspeakable joy? |
A41846 | that love should sweetly reduce decreets of Justice, and declare them in law to be void and null? |
A41846 | to what a length may discontent lead one? |
A41846 | was it not then, when he was wrestling against corruptions? |
A41846 | was it not, when there was a law in his minde, wrestling against the law of his members? |
A41846 | what a thing must that be which we call sin, that hath brought him so low? |
A41846 | what poor advantage hath a man by his discontentment and sorrow, if it be not to render himself more miserable? |
A41846 | where shall you flee for help? |
A41846 | whether is that washing of our bed with tears, and that presenting of supplications with sighs and groans that can not be expressed, now gone? |
A41846 | wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? |
A53273 | And is not this a demonstration of our weariness of God? |
A53273 | And may we not be sure it is not from any sickleness, unfaithfulness, inconstancy in God, but occasioned by a sad change in us? |
A53273 | And what are we that we should plead any priviledge or think our selves secured from such a sinfull frame of spirit as this is? |
A53273 | Are not our Priviledges too costly, too chargable and burdensome for us? |
A53273 | Are not these things growen out of fashion with us? |
A53273 | Are there not many sad tokens of His weariness of us? |
A53273 | Are there not many that would spurn down the Churches with greatest scorn? |
A53273 | Are we not a lick People, and think, if we could change our bed[ as sick men are wo nt to fancy) then we should be well? |
A53273 | Are we not weary of our relation to God? |
A53273 | Are we weary of the World? |
A53273 | But did it not quickly appear that the Lord was with them? |
A53273 | But doth not God change His dispensation? |
A53273 | But doth not God seem to be about to break down what He hath built, and pluck up that which he hath planted? |
A53273 | But is it thus with us at this day? |
A53273 | But my Word and my Statutes, which I Commanded my Servants the Prophets, did they not take hold of your Fathers? |
A53273 | But what shal we say or think of the body of this People? |
A53273 | Do not His, dispensations speak as much? |
A53273 | Do not foundations shake? |
A53273 | Do not many People think, and say, if there be any little thing amiss among us, or they be crost in any thing, we can not be worse then we are? |
A53273 | Do not many prophanely neglect the worship of God in publick assemblies, in their families, in secret? |
A53273 | Do not our murmurings( like those of Israel in the Wilderness] shew this? |
A53273 | Do they not dislike and loath the presence and fellowship of such persons, in whom much of God and His grace shines? |
A53273 | Do they not wish for changes? |
A53273 | Doth He not carry Himself towards us, as if His very soul was loosned and disjoynted from us? |
A53273 | Doth not the glory of God seem to be removing gradually and yet sensibly from us? |
A53273 | Doth not the spirit of Christ seldome visit the souls of men? |
A53273 | Have we not many proud, covetous, sensual professors? |
A53273 | How doth Cambridge? |
A53273 | How doth New- England shake? |
A53273 | How doth the Colledge? |
A53273 | How few soundly converted? |
A53273 | How few that believe the report of the Gospel, And to whom the Arme of the Lord is revealed? |
A53273 | How happy has Cambridge been? |
A53273 | How little of God appears in the words and lives of men? |
A53273 | How little of Gods work appears unto His Servants; and of His glory unto their Children? |
A53273 | How shall I give thee up, Ob, New- England? |
A53273 | I might call over the particulars before mentioned, and say, Are we not weary of the service of God? |
A53273 | Is He not far from the hearts of many Professors? |
A53273 | Is it not very obvious? |
A53273 | Is not much of our glory departed from us? |
A53273 | Is not the ax laid to the root? |
A53273 | Is not this the condition of many am ● ng us? |
A53273 | Is not this the too general frame, and spirit of Professors among us, to be weary of God? |
A53273 | It is a matter of great concernment: Shall we examine it a little, and put it to the tryall? |
A53273 | Kindly broken and humbled, and drawn home to Christ? |
A53273 | May not God upbraid us, and say, Thou hast not called upon Me, O New- England? |
A53273 | Now doth not the Lord seem to be weary of us? |
A53273 | So as to spurn at the Bowels of God, kick against His Ordinances, and would kick them away? |
A53273 | The second Question should be, Whence comes it to pass, that a Person, or People are weary of God? |
A53273 | To discover this worldly spirit among us? |
A53273 | Was there ever a People that pretended so high to the service of God, and yet are so heartily engaged in the s ● rvice of the World? |
A53273 | Weary of His Correction? |
A53273 | Weary of His Government? |
A53273 | Weary of His Truth? |
A53273 | Weary of our Covenant- obligation to Him? |
A53273 | Weary of our Priviledges and Mercyes? |
A53273 | What a confusion would this cover you with? |
A53273 | What do these feeble People? |
A53273 | What shall I now say? |
A53273 | When is a Person or People weary of God? |
A53273 | When the Iew brought a lean sacrifice, and then said, What a wearinesse is it? |
A53273 | Where is our Love and Kindness to Gods service? |
A53273 | Where is our Strength and Vigour, our Alacrity, our Zeal, our Evenness and Constaney, our Perseverance in the service of God? |
A53273 | Where is the love of our Espousals? |
A53273 | Will not their case be very sad, that shall say unto Christ in the great day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy Name? |
A53273 | Would it not be a sad thing if you should loose all your Prayers, and all your calling upon God should be nothing in His account? |
A53273 | Yea, Are there not many Professors even weary and ashamed of their profession? |
A53273 | Yea, doth not the Lord threaten to break up house and be gone? |
A53273 | Your Fathers, where are they? |
A53273 | and in thy Name cast out Devils? |
A53273 | and the Prophets, do they live for ever? |
A53273 | doth it not lye above ground? |
A53273 | have we not great reason to fear what God may do unto us? |
A64262 | For which of the Priests in Turky or Rome are more eager for their Bellies then you are? |
A64262 | Nay, nay, for if any come amongst you, and conform not to the filthy and bad Customs of your Universities, how are they looked upon as strange Things? |
A64262 | O, a sad Generation it is; O, what a Generation of Evil- doers are your Children( whom you have given Suck unto) become? |
A64262 | Oh how hath the Lord born with you? |
A64262 | Oh what Lewdness and Debauchery hath mine Eyes beheld in you? |
A64262 | Oh why will ye dye ye People of England? |
A64262 | Or do you not rather do these Things to get Money by? |
A64262 | Shall not the Nations of the World( who profess not as you the Priests and Prelates of England do) rise up in Judgment against you? |
A64262 | The very Name of Tythes shews you to be Jewish, and of Easter- Reckonings, and such like, to be Popish; and now where is your Reformation? |
A64262 | What Means do you leave unessayed against those, who for Conscience sake can not put into your Mouthes? |
A64262 | What do you mean to do? |
A64262 | What, have you no Shame nor Care of your Credit, that can do such Things in the open Sun, and not blush? |
A64262 | Why will ye sit in Egypt''s Darkness still, and the Land of God''s People so full of Light? |
A64262 | Will they, or you their Teachers for them, be content to suffer the Pains of Hell, the Reward of such as break Covenant with God? |
A64262 | Will you never open your Eyes a little to see your Works? |
A64262 | how are they hooted at as Owls in a Desart? |
A64262 | may it not be said, The Land mourns because of Oathes? |
A64262 | what Heathenish Stuff is this, to find you at this Time a Day telling of and glorying in? |
A64262 | what will you never give over provoaking God with your Acts and Degrees? |

A11116 | Art thou a whoremaster? |
A11116 | Art thou so bewitched with that which will have an end, a sudden end, a wretched end? |
A11116 | As a tale, nay, as a thought( for so much the originall word doth import) and how many thoughts may a man have in an houre? |
A11116 | Cal''d in is thy protection then, deare bought: How was my brow o''rehatcht with Impudence? |

A11116 | How wouldest thou strive to subdue thy flesh to the spirit, sensuality to reason, reason to faith, and faith to the service of God? |
A11116 | I know not whether I may truely tearme thee, either life or death: for if thou be life, why dost thou kill? |
A11116 | If men be moved with gaine& commodity, what greater commodity can there be than to attaine life everlasting? |
A11116 | If this be not a vanity of vanities, who can tell what is vanity? |
A11116 | If thou beleeve it, and doest not provide for it, how canst thou be thought a reasonable man? |
A11116 | If thou beleeve not this, how art thou then a Christian? |
A11116 | If thou hadst not feared the dreadfull day of judgement? |
A11116 | If thou hadst not looked for any other life? |
A11116 | Is there any wit or judgement in this world? |
A11116 | Is there not more spent upon one paire of sleeves, then would cloath sixe bodies? |
A11116 | May it be thought that men are become beasts, that provide onely for the time present? |

A11116 | See wee not more drunke in a Taverne at one sitting by a small company, then would serve a troope of sturdy Souldiers in the field? |

A11116 | Wherefore did I not looke before me? |
A11116 | Who is he that can lament, and will not lament at this? |
A11116 | Who is he that hath not cause to resolve himselfe wholly into teares to weepe and bewaile his manifold offences? |
A11116 | Who would relie the everlasting affaires of the life to come upon the gliding slipperinesse, and running streame of our uncertaine life? |
A11116 | Why art thou not affraid of so horrible, so certaine, and so assured perils and dangers? |

A30202 | & c. And what incouragement has a man to suffer for Christ, whose heart can not believe, and whose Soul he can not commit to God to keep it?) |

A30202 | Canst thou, after a due examination of thy self, say that as to these things thou art innocent, and clear? |
A30202 | Do you suffer? |
A30202 | Doth not God by these things( oft- times) call our sins to remembrance, and provoke us to amendment of life? |
A30202 | Faith in Christ: what harm can that do? |

A30202 | Rejoycing in Spirit for the hope of the life to come, by Christ, who will that harm? |
A30202 | Secondly, Are things thus ordered? |
A30202 | Secondly, Is it so? |
A30202 | Shall God display his glory before us, under the character, and Title of a Creator? |

A30202 | Where is Repentance, Reformation, and amendment of life amongst us? |
A30202 | Wherefore has he given us grace, is it that we should live by sence? |
A30202 | Wherefore has he sometimes visited us, is it that our hearts might be estranged from him, and that we still should love the World? |
A30202 | Wherefore he now begins to fall out again, for as yet the enmity is not removed? |

A30202 | Wherefore say thus to thy Soul, thou that art like to suffer for righteousness, How is it with the most inward parts of my Soul, what is there? |
A30202 | Wherefore then should we complain? |
A30202 | Wherefore, Thirdly, Is it for righteousness sake that thou sufferest? |
A30202 | Whither canst thou go? |
A30202 | Whither wilt thou go? |
A30202 | Who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the Son of man that shall be made as grass? |
A30202 | Who can reach them, touch them, destroy them, but the Creator? |
A30202 | Who could have hoped that Israel should have returned again from the land, from the hand, and from under the Tyranny of the King of Babylon? |
A30202 | Why do I haunt, and frequent places; and ordinances appointed for worship? |
A30202 | Why do I hear? |
A30202 | Why do I pray? |
A30202 | Why do I read? |
A30202 | Why then should we think th ● t our innocent lives will exempt us from sufferings, or that troubles shall do us such harm? |
A30202 | Yea, do we not grow worse and worse? |
A30202 | and are we afraid of our God? |
A30202 | and be quiet; and shall we take no notice of this? |
A30202 | and doth he take charge of them as a Creator? |
A30202 | and is goodness seen in thy seeking the life, or the damage of thy enemy? |
A30202 | and shall we yet fear man? |
A30202 | and that we might hope for good things to come out of such providences, that to sence, look as if themselves would eat up and devour all? |
A30202 | and what if he is thus come down to fetch us to himself? |
A30202 | and will he not be as good to us, as to them that have gone before us? |
A30202 | and yet doth it yield no good unto us? |
A30202 | are Gods people a suffering people? |
A30202 | are you in affliction for your profession? |
A30202 | do they want a right frame of spirit? |
A30202 | dost thou desire to be with them? |
A30202 | for, as thou actest not ought, but thy waspishness can be seen? |
A30202 | have they no more peace with this World? |
A30202 | how then can we be offended at things by which we reap so much good, and at things that God makes so profitable for us? |
A30202 | if he be not able to keep it in his hand, and from the power of him that seeks the soul to destroy it? |
A30202 | in Storms, and darkness and tempests? |
A30202 | is God the God unto whom they that suffer according to his will, are to commit the keeping of their Souls, the Creator? |
A30202 | is he that is a servant to corruption, a victor? |
A30202 | is it because I love holiness? |
A30202 | is the whole World set against thee for thy love to God, to Christ, his cause, and righteousness? |
A30202 | laugh: art thou taken? |
A30202 | or can we be without such holy appointments of God? |
A30202 | or if he looks no further than to horses, what will he do at the swellings of Jordan? |
A30202 | or that thou should''st receive it at the hand of God, when the day shall come that every man, shall have praise of him for their doings? |
A30202 | or the Saw, that it should magnifie it self against him that shaketh it? |
A30202 | shall he do this to us, when we are under a suffering condition, and that on purpose that we might commit our Souls to him in well doing? |
A30202 | to thy Swine, or to the poor? |
A30202 | was thine anger against the rivers? |
A30202 | was thy wrath against the Sea, that thou didst ride upon thy horses, and thy chariots of salvation? |
A30202 | were there no good men but at Jerusalem? |
A30202 | what designs, desires, and teachings out are there? |
A30202 | what, if we must go now to Heaven? |
A30202 | when thine anger has put thee upon being unquiet, where is thy long- suffering? |
A30202 | where also is thy sweet, meek and gentle spirit? |
A30202 | where is thy Joy, under the Cross? |
A30202 | where is thy peace? |
A30202 | whose hungry belly hast thou fed? |
A30202 | whose naked body hast thou clothed? |
A30202 | would promote righteousness; because I love to see godliness shew it self in others, and because I would feel more of the power of it in my self? |
A30202 | wouldest thou fit upon their place of ease? |
A30203 | & c. appear with gladness against thee at the terrible day? |
A30203 | 26. saith he, Nevertheless they were disobedient for all thy goodness towards them, and rebelled against thee,( but how?) |
A30203 | 6. that is comparable to the pleasures, profits, and glory of this World? |
A30203 | Again, If they hear not Moses, and the Prophets,& c. As if he had said, Thou would''st have me send one from the Dead unto them, what needs that? |
A30203 | All they, that is, that are in hell shall say, Art thou become weak as we? |
A30203 | Amaziah having sinned against the Lord, he sends to him a Prophet to reprove him: But Amaziah sayes, ● orbear, wherefore shouldst thou be smitten? |
A30203 | And did they make them welcome? |
A30203 | And do you think the Lord will sit still( as I may say) and let thy Tongue run as it lists, and yet never bring you to an account for the same? |
A30203 | And must we be all alone? |
A30203 | And why so? |
A30203 | And why? |
A30203 | Art thou become like unto us? |
A30203 | Art thou such an one as regards not these things? |
A30203 | Art thou troubled with cross Children, cross Relations, cross Neighbours? |
A30203 | As first, Dost thou delight to sin against plain commands? |
A30203 | As if he should say, What need have they that one should be sent to them from the dead? |
A30203 | Besides, was the Gospel so freely, so frequently, so fully tendered to thee, and yet hast thou rejected all these Things? |
A30203 | But for all this, how thick, and by heaps, do these wretches walk up and down our streets? |
A30203 | But now, when didst thou feel the power of this first part of the Scripture, the Law, so mighty as to strike thee dead? |
A30203 | But why is it said, Let him dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue? |
A30203 | But ye ungodly fathers, how are your ungodly children, roaring now in hell? |
A30203 | But you will say, How doth the Law kill and strike dead the poor Creature? |
A30203 | But you will say, What needs all this ado, and why is all this time and pains spent in speaking to this, that is surely believed already? |
A30203 | Canst thou read this, O thou wicked sinner, and yet go in sin? |
A30203 | Canst thou think of this, and defer Repentance one hour longer? |
A30203 | Consider thus with thy self; Would I be glad to have all, every one of my sins to come in against me to inflame the justice of God against me? |
A30203 | Cry, why so? |
A30203 | Did we not found an Alarum in thine Ears, by the Trumpet of God''s Word day after day? |
A30203 | Did we not run, ride, labour, and strive abundantly( if it might have been) for the good of thy Soul,( though now a damned Soul? |
A30203 | Did we not tell thee of these Things? |
A30203 | Did we not tell thee sin would damn thy Soul? |
A30203 | Did we not tell thee, that without Conversion, there was no Salvation? |
A30203 | Did we not venture our Goods, our Names, our Lives? |
A30203 | Didst thou never hear of the intollerable Roarings of the Damned Ones that are therein? |
A30203 | Do but mark the words, All Scripture is profitable: All, take it where you will, and in what place you will; All is profitable, for what? |
A30203 | Doest thou believe the Scripture to be the word of God? |
A30203 | Dost thou believe the Scriptures to be the word of God? |
A30203 | Dost thou examine thy self whether thou be in the Faith or no, having a command in Scripture so to do? |
A30203 | Dost thou give diligence to make thy Calling and Election sure, because God commandeth it in Scripture? |
A30203 | Dost thou not hear them say, Send one from the dead to prevent my father, my brother, and my fathers house from coming into this place of torment? |
A30203 | Examine again Dost thou labour after those qualifications that the Scriptures do describe a child of God by? |
A30203 | Examine, dost thou stand in awe of sinning against God, because he hath in the Scriptures commanded thee to abstain from it? |
A30203 | For had ye believed Moses( saith he) ye would have believed me? |
A30203 | From what? |
A30203 | Hark, dost thou not hear the bitter Cryes of them that are but newly gone before? |
A30203 | Hast thou valued sin at a higher rate than thy soul? |
A30203 | Have they not Moses and the Prophets? |
A30203 | He that was in darkness, or he that was in light? |
A30203 | He that was in everlasting joy, or he that was in everlasting torments? |
A30203 | How long ye simple ones, will you love simplicity? |
A30203 | How long? |

A30203 | How often didst thou read the promises, yea, the free promises of the common salvation? |
A30203 | How rightly hath God met with thee? |
A30203 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
A30203 | How so? |

A30203 | Mother, can not you do me some good? |
A30203 | Nay, I do not like of that answer; Hear Moses and the Prophets? |
A30203 | No, But mocked the Messengers of God, and despised his words: And was that all? |
A30203 | O Father, can not you help me? |
A30203 | O Lord Jesus, what a Load didst thou carry? |
A30203 | O how righteously doth his Sentence pass upon thee? |
A30203 | O how will the Drunkard cry, for leading their Neighbours into drunkenness? |
A30203 | O therefore, will not this aggravate thy torment? |
A30203 | Oh how unwilling wilt thou be, to let thy Father go to Heaven without thee, thy Mother or Friends,& c. go to Heaven without thee? |
A30203 | One would have thought that this had been a small request, a small courtesie, one drop of water, what is that? |
A30203 | Or how is it with thy soul? |
A30203 | Secondly, Dost thou slight and scorn the counsels contained in Scriptures, and continue in so doing? |
A30203 | Shall I content my self with a Heaven, that will last no longer than my life ▪ time? |
A30203 | Shall not then these mournfull groans pierce thy flinty heart? |

A01992 | Wherefore then should a wise man feare to goe to his Fathers, and would haue a way by himselfe? |
A01992 | Wherefore then should we make any scruple to alledge some testimonies of Heathens touching the happie estate and condition of old age? |
A01992 | Wherefore then, doe we accuse nature and her impediments, as we call them, I meane old age, and the infirmities thereof? |
A01992 | Whereupon Cicero vseth these words; Doth the vertue and honour of a man lie in his armes? |
A01992 | Who hath giuen him power and authority to doe so? |
A01992 | Who knoweth not that warre and the pestilence doth sweepe away out of the world, many more little children, or strong able men, then aged persons? |
A01992 | Who shall bee able to make vs afraide and dismay vs? |
A01992 | Why then doe you complaine, if shee call for and demand her owne againe, when it pleaseth her, seeing you hold and haue it vpon this condition? |
A01992 | Will you know what is the measure of riches? |
A01992 | canst thou hide thee from others, from thy selfe, from God thy Soueraigne? |
A01992 | shall I then become a bottomlesse gulfe of wickednesse? |
A01992 | shall a man goe vpon hote coales, and his feete not be burnt? |
A01992 | to abound in perishing riches, and not to haue one myte of faith, charity, repentance, humility, truth, and stedfast hope? |
A01992 | to whom are murmurings? |
A01992 | to whom are redde eyes? |
A01992 | to whom are strifes and quarrels without cause? |
A01992 | to whom are vproares? |
A01992 | to whom is sorrow and alas? |
A01992 | which the Sonne of God hath prised, hath willed to be baptised, and commanded to receiue the holy signes of the Sacrament with thankesgiuing? |

A39775 | 6: v. 4? |
A39775 | 7: 12? |
A39775 | 8: 26. and what have you thus found to answer so plain an evidence and mark as this, of your state and being in Christ? |
A39775 | 9? |
A39775 | And are not a Christians opportunities a part of his riches and treasure? |
A39775 | And is it not above nature, or the furthest of humane reach to learne to be meek, humble, lowly, Patient in suffering, and self denying? |
A39775 | And is not the truth hereof write forth in such visible realities before your eyes, as it may be no less manifest in its Examples than Precepts? |
A39775 | And now can you upon surest triall put to your seale that God is true herein? |
A39775 | And what thoughts that marvellous change must cause on mens spirits, when once entred into endless eternity? |
A39775 | And why is such a cover put on an imbittered and passionat disposition, that it is their natural complexion? |
A39775 | Are not the Christians saddest hours on as swift a course, as their time; and each hour and day putting by some part of its appointed measure? |
A39775 | But if you say, why is not this more discerneable amongst Christians? |
A39775 | But what do you expect, which is not of free and marvellous grace? |
A39775 | But what do you meane by the delights and sweetness thereof, you have now spoke? |
A39775 | Do you ask what such know or discerne in the things of God to which most are strangers? |
A39775 | Do you in truth question, if you have ever yet past the new birth, and be in the state of grace, and where you shall dwell for ever? |
A39775 | Doth not this marvellous longsuffering and tenderness of the Lord have some serious voice? |
A39775 | From whence are these warres& fightings without, and these impetuous boilings of envy, wrath and revenge within? |
A39775 | Gen. 32: 10? |
A39775 | Hath the Scripture left this either doubtful or dark in the least, that to such as believe, Jesus Christ is precious? |
A39775 | How is the sense of guilt, and of their former way so affrighting upona surprising strait, or a neer approach to death? |
A39775 | How little is this either understood or beleeved? |
A39775 | How rare a practice is it now to beleeve, when there are almost no sensible grounds to be comforting? |
A39775 | How remarkeably hath this made a very mean and obscure Person otherwise, shine with greatest brightness in the place and corner he lived in? |
A39775 | How swistly are the enjoyments of the earth, and delights of the flesh gone and perished in the present use thereof? |
A39775 | If any man have a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave you, so also do you? |
A39775 | Is it not because the light torments them, and they can not stand before it? |
A39775 | Is not this the surest way to make haste by onwaiting, and the choicest mean to gain time, and bring a Christian and his desire soonest together? |
A39775 | Let us but now bring neer our thoughts what thoughts we shall have of the world, when our eyes are shuting upon it, never to enjoy this any more? |
A39775 | Now set me seriously ask, what did you really intend? |
A39775 | O what a rent and tribute is this, which in the Christians saddest hours only can be payed into their blessed Master? |
A39775 | O what sweet and refreshing hours have some sad and pressing burdens oft helped Christians to, which they should not have known otherwise? |
A39775 | O who would not run, though all the way should be through thickets of briars and thorns, who have such a joy and hope set before them? |
A39775 | Or would you then have dared to break forth into an Oath? |
A39775 | The more prayer and wrestling hath come betwixt the Christians trial and outgate, is it not found the more comforting and sweet, when it hath come? |
A39775 | V. But it seemes strange, what quiet and confidence many such, who are visible haters of the truth, and of the power of Religion, own in their way? |
A39775 | V. VVhat, is there no warrantable judging then of others, and condemning such from whom we injuriously suffer, when this is not against the truth? |
A39775 | VVhat are these pleasant fruits, which can be found under the cross, and the many imbittering griefs and troubles of a Christians life? |
A39775 | Was it to deale deceitfully with the most High, and be no more serious in the thoughts of this when ye were once at land? |
A39775 | What were desireable and comforting in the state of man, if it looked not higher than things seen, or his present abode in the world? |
A39775 | What? |
A39775 | Why do these hate a searching ministry so much, though the word name none? |
A39775 | Why do ye thus speak? |
A39775 | Would you truely know the sweetness of a Christian lot? |
A39775 | Yea hath he not designed the most of the Elect to a poor, Low and afflicted Condition here? |
A39775 | Yea such eager graspings after that baite of carnal pleasure, even whilst they know the imbittering sting which inseparably followes thereon? |
A39775 | Yea that this may be in a high measure; and was not Judas one of the twelve? |
A39775 | Yea what? |
A39775 | Yea, whence was it, that their strength and resolution grew, as the tide grew strong against them? |
A39775 | and are not these such things that could never possibly have entred into mens thoughts, if they were not made known from a higher airth? |
A39775 | and are such to be envied by any? |
A39775 | by abasement rather than abounding? |
A39775 | doth this shake any, or render the truth doubtfull, if ever they knew the power and certainty thereof on their soul? |
A39775 | durst such quarrel, who knew of an eternity of joy in the close? |
A39775 | for what use can some be to promote any interest for God, who are in so mean and low a capacity? |
A39775 | is Christ divided? |
A39775 | is not the cause here, that a living and vigorous Christian is become so rare a sight at this day? |
A39775 | or is there any other head and leader than he? |
A39775 | or who is Appollos? |
A39775 | should dying men keep at a distance from the thoughts of death, who so oft may hear it sound; and the bell ringing for others? |
A39775 | was it not then a matter of earnest to pray? |
A39775 | what is given for the furthest clearing hereof in the Scripture? |
A39775 | which as a sweet and native result followes thereon? |
A39775 | who is Paul? |
A39775 | yea a visible adherence, and assent to the Doctrine of Christ by many who may be strangers to this? |
A41637 | 2 From the excellency of Man above Fowls, expressed in these words, Are yee not much better than they? |
A41637 | 2 What fruit can be expected from an Husbands beating of his Wife? |
A41637 | And how otherwise shall he be the guide of her youth? |
A41637 | And how should this incomprehensible love of God, fire and inflame our cold and frozen hearts with a fervent love unto him again? |
A41637 | And if either of you shall be a means of the conversion of the other, how intirely will it knit your affections one to another? |
A41637 | And saith the Apostle Iames, Is any among you afflicted? |
A41637 | And therefore how blame- worthy are they, who make the Lords Day a day of Feasting their neighbours and friends? |
A41637 | And therefore how doth it concern us to be then especially watchful over our selves? |
A41637 | And were not all the servants to whom talents were committed called to an account? |
A41637 | And what is the reason? |
A41637 | And what was it which put him into that agony? |
A41637 | And why must his death be thus remembred? |
A41637 | And will you bless God for your corporal food, and not for your spiritual food, whereby your souls are nourished unto everlasting life? |
A41637 | Are not even yee in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his coming? |
A41637 | Can they give you an interest in Christ, or a right to Salvation? |
A41637 | Canst thou thus say of thy self; and that in truth and sincerity of heart? |
A41637 | David having said, Oh how do I love thy Law? |
A41637 | Did you upon your approaching to that Ordinance, cast up your sins by confession? |
A41637 | Doe you not remember what the Lord said to his Steward, Give an account of thy stewardship? |
A41637 | Faciebat hoc quotidie Sextius, ut consumma ● o die cum se ad nocturnam quietem recepisset, interrogaret animum suum; quod hodie malum tuum sanasti? |
A41637 | For the first, what Knowledge is required? |
A41637 | For what cause? |
A41637 | For what glory is it, if when yee be buffeted for your faults, yee take it patiently? |
A41637 | For what good will the injoyment of any thing do thee, unless thou canst see Gods love, as well as his bounty, therein? |
A41637 | For what is my hope, or joy, or crown of rejoycing? |
A41637 | For without concord and agreement between Husband and Wife, what comfort can either find in their house? |
A41637 | Happily thou wilt say, that though his belly can hold no more than thine, yet his fare is better, and more delicious? |
A41637 | Hast thou any competent measure of saving knowledge? |
A41637 | Hast thou found comfort after thy spiritual troubles and desertions? |
A41637 | Hast thou found gracious answers and returns to thy prayers? |
A41637 | Hast thou found support under thy trials and temptations? |
A41637 | Hast thou got the victory over any lust or corruption? |
A41637 | Hath then the sense and smart of thy former wandrings, made thee earnestly to wish, that thou mightest please God better for the time to come? |
A41637 | Hereby therefore try the truth of thy repentance: Hath it wrought a change and alteration in thy course of life? |
A41637 | How blame- worthy then are they who take all occasions to spread abroad one anothers infirmities, and many times belye one another? |
A41637 | How canst thou begg peace and reconciliation with thy heavenly Father, when thou wilt not be reconciled on earth to thy Brother? |
A41637 | How heavy then will the blood of Jesus Christ, who was not only an innocent man, but more than a man, lye upon them that are guilty thereof? |
A41637 | How is Christs blood sprinkled upon our souls? |
A41637 | How may I know that these outward mercies which I do injoy are bestowed upon mee in love and favour? |
A41637 | How may I know whether I have a true s ● ving faith? |
A41637 | How may we with David cry out, and say, Lord, what is ma ● that thou art mindful of him? |
A41637 | How may wee bee said to partake with others in their sins? |
A41637 | How may wee prepare our selves for Losses, Crosses, and Afflictions? |
A41637 | How much greater store would be for the poor, if rich men, according to Gods blessing on them, would so do? |
A41637 | How should the consideration hereof stirre you up, to labour above all things to beleeve in Jesus Christ? |
A41637 | How should the meditation of the manifold sufferings of Christ, especially of his bitter Death and Passion, work in us an holy passion of love? |
A41637 | How soon should wee begin to teach our children? |
A41637 | How then can it dwell in that Child, who shutteth up his bowels of compassion against his own Father or Mother? |
A41637 | Iacob loved Rachel, and what did hee not do for her? |
A41637 | If a Brother is to bee restored with a spirit of meekness, as the Apostle speaketh, how much more a Wife? |
A41637 | If this be not to be guilty of the body and blood of Christ, what can be? |
A41637 | If you ask what I mean by works of absolute necessity? |
A41637 | Is any merry? |
A41637 | Is it altogether unlawful to play for mony? |
A41637 | Is it not then a wonderful shame for Christians after their Meals not to praise the true God, from whom we receive all the good things we doe enjoy? |
A41637 | Is this to keep holy the Sabbath Day, thus to sleep away the first and chiefest part thereof? |
A41637 | Nay, what sin will not he commit for profit, pleasure, or preferment, who sticks not to prophane the holy name of God for nothing? |
A41637 | Now, who are so nearly knit together as Husband and Wife? |
A41637 | Oh how should this ravish our souls with admiration of so great love? |
A41637 | Q. Wherein doth this contentedness consist? |
A41637 | Some are apt to object their little leasure, and great imployment, to excuse themselves from offering up their morning Sacrifice unto God? |
A41637 | Some object their great inability to pr ● ● ● ● hey know not how to pray, not having the spirit of prayer? |
A41637 | The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation ▪ saith the Apostle, but to whom? |
A41637 | This argument our Saviour expresseth in these words, Is not the life more than meat? |
A41637 | This direction the Apostle Iames giveth, for saith he, Is any sick among you? |
A41637 | This, if it were seriously considered, how would it make thee watchful over thy very heart? |
A41637 | What greater love than this can be imagined Oh how doth it then concern us to go to that ordinance with hearts inflamed with a love to Jesus? |
A41637 | What is to be done in such cases, wherein we are doubtful, and uncertain of the will and mind of God, and what is most agreeable thereunto? |
A41637 | Whereupon saith St. Augustine, How much better is it to plow on the Lords Day, than to dance? |
A41637 | Whether a man finding his body drowsie, and his spirits dead and heavie, had better fall upon the duty of Prayer, or forbear it for that time? |
A41637 | Whether an Husband may lawfully strike, or beat his Wife? |
A41637 | Who can imagine the bitterness of our Saviours Agony at that time? |
A41637 | Who can sufficiently admire the riches of Gods love to man therein? |
A41637 | Why should any sin be sweet to us, which was so bitter to our Saviour? |
A41637 | Why then should the apprehension of thy sins keep thee off from going unto Christ, and resting upon him for salvation? |
A41637 | Why then should your pleasures and your profits be so minded, and sought after by you? |
A41637 | Will not my faith then fail? |
A41637 | Will you bless God for a crumb, and not for a Christ? |
A41637 | Yea, how many have risen well in the morning, who have been found dead before the evening? |
A41637 | and careful to suppress all wicked, lustful thoughts at their first rising? |
A41637 | and inflame our hearts with love again unto him, who did, and suffered so much for us? |
A41637 | and the body than raiment? |
A41637 | and the body than raiment? |
A41637 | and will you now with the Dogge, return to your vomit again? |
A41637 | are old things done away? |
A41637 | cui vitio obstitisti? |
A41637 | even your Wives, your Children, your Servants, yea and very wares and goods? |
A41637 | hast thou le ● t thy swearing, thy drunkenness, thy whoredomes, thy cousenings by false weights and measures? |
A41637 | how seldome is it read amongst them? |
A41637 | how shall I be able to bear up under these sad changes? |
A41637 | is there a forsaking of former sins? |
A41637 | or upon his frequent performance of holy duties? |
A41637 | or upon his just and honest dealing with men? |
A41637 | qua parte melior es? |
A41637 | the Nature of it, what it is? |
A41637 | was Christ broken with torments for our sins, and shall not the consideration thereof break our hearts for them? |
A41637 | what a stranger is the Word to most Families? |
A41637 | who having not only a sufficiency, but also an affluency of worldly things, suffers his Parents to want necessaries? |
A49262 | 1 As with a sword in my bones mine enemies reproached 〈 ◊ 〉, whilest they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? |
A49262 | 1 What are the reasons why it was so successefull in the dayes of John the Baptist? |
A49262 | 1 Whence it came to passe that people were at that time so fervent and affectionate towards the Gospel, that the Gospel was so successefull then? |
A49262 | 1 Why the Gospel so successfull then? |
A49262 | 2 Whence it comes to passe that it is no more successefull now, or why that holy violence is now abated? |
A49262 | 5 Difficulties and opposition do rather quicken then abase his endevours; what adventures will he not make? |
A49262 | A man cloathed in soft raiment? |
A49262 | And is it reason that you that are so immoderate in the pursuit and desire of the things of this world, should be moderate in the things of heaven? |
A49262 | And when Martha told him, He stinketh; Jesus answered, Said I not unto thee, if thou didst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God? |
A49262 | Are my affections raised, kindled in prayer? |
A49262 | As it was with the Mariners in Jonah, they cried mightily unto God, but what was it for? |
A49262 | But chiefly enqui ● e, is my person accepted of God? |
A49262 | But you will say, suppose God hath decreed he will not give me the mercy I pray for, what benefit is it for me to pray for it? |
A49262 | Consider this, oh all you wicked and ungodly men; Consider how far you are from having your prayers heard; What? |
A49262 | Could I be as swift as a Dromedary in the wayes of sin, and shall I creep like a snail in the wayes of God? |
A49262 | Could I sin worse then others, and shall I now be contented with lesse grace then others? |
A49262 | Denials of prayer, when ● ● mercy? |
A49262 | Depart from mee all you workers of iniquitie: Why, what is the reason? |
A49262 | Did this engage them to call upon God? |
A49262 | Did this make Isaac neglect prayer? |
A49262 | Did this make them in love with prayer? |
A49262 | Dost thou think that God will accept of that prayer, when thou knowest not what thou sayest? |
A49262 | Dost thou think, O man, that God will hear that prayer which thou dost not hear thy self? |
A49262 | Fire in its place is good and usefull, but out of its place how hurtfull and destructive? |
A49262 | For this self- same thing that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulnesse did it work in you? |
A49262 | God gives wicked men indeed their requests; but how is it, with a blessing and with content? |
A49262 | Good works make not a man good, but a good man makes a work good; and shall a work that a man made good, return again and make the man good? |
A49262 | Hast thou given the horse strength? |
A49262 | Hast thou not burnt in lust, and will you now be key- cold in religion? |
A49262 | Hath not God decreed what mercy to bestow vpon me? |
A49262 | Have I been zealous for the committing of sin, and shall I be cold in my motions after Christ? |
A49262 | Have any of 〈 … 〉 the Pharisees believed on him? |
A49262 | How comes it to passe that so many want this holy importunity in their prayers? |
A49262 | How comes it to passe that the Ministery of the Word is not so successefull now as it was in the dayes of the first preaching of it? |
A49262 | How eager and earnest are they after God? |
A49262 | How long will you love vanity, and follow after lies? |
A49262 | If God accepteth of the person before he accepts the work, how can any person be justified by works? |
A49262 | If God will 〈 … 〉 ● eare the remisse prayer of a god ly ma ● 〈 … 〉 dost thou thinke he will heart the prayers of a wicked man? |
A49262 | If Jesus Christ commend an holy violence in the matters of religion, what becomes of this moderation? |
A49262 | If men be thus zealous in false wayes, how servent should we be in a true? |
A49262 | If you ask, what is the nature of this holy violence? |
A49262 | Is my mind composed? |
A49262 | It is good to enquire, Is my heart right? |
A49262 | Jesus Christ did not ask him, Lovest thou me at all? |
A49262 | Jesus said unto Peter, Simon, son of Jona ●, Lovest thou me more then these? |
A49262 | Men rise up early, and go to bed late, and eat the bread of carefulnesse, and are eager and indefatigable in their pursuits of the world? |
A49262 | Might they thence conclude, surely their prayers were accepted of God, because God did give them what they desired? |
A49262 | My God, my God, why hast thou for saken me? |
A49262 | Now if you ask what is the reason, why God deals thus with his people? |
A49262 | Now what doth she with this mercy? |
A49262 | O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not heare? |
A49262 | Oh generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? |
A49262 | Oh, said Zeno, Shall he not be ashamed of sin, and wilt thou be ashamed to set thy selfe against sin? |
A49262 | Seeing God doth not hear the prayers of his people in some cases; How may we know, whether the denyal of our prayers be in mercy or no? |
A49262 | Shall a man make speed to the place of execution, and wilt thou but move slowly towards a crown and throne? |
A49262 | Siccine putas or asse Jonam, sic Danielem inter leones, sic latronem in cruce? |
A49262 | Such was the violence of the Scribes and I ha ● sees, John 〈 … 〉 48, 49 Then answered him the 〈 … 〉 you also deceived? |
A49262 | The Lord, saith David, is nigh to all that call upon him; but how? |
A49262 | The devill watcheth, and doest thou sleep? |
A49262 | The second particular is this, What is this holy importunity? |
A49262 | The second particular is this: Why did God pitch upon such chiefly, as were most notorious ill- livers? |
A49262 | The third particular is this: Why are such vile and sinfull persons most eager and violent after their conversion? |
A49262 | There were some( not onely Judas, but others also) that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? |
A49262 | They desired a lawful thing for unlawful ends; But what followed? |
A49262 | They howled, for what? |
A49262 | They weary themselves to commit iniquity, will not you do as much for God as they do for Satan? |
A49262 | They were all amazed, saying, What new Doctrine is this? |
A49262 | Thou hast sinned more then these, doest thou love me more then these? |
A49262 | Unlesse thy person be justified, unlesse thou art reconciled, thy works are wicked works; and can wicked works justifie? |
A49262 | Was it for grace and spiritual blessings? |
A49262 | Was it to obtain a spiritual mercy? |
A49262 | Well, what answer doth God return? |
A49262 | Well, what was the effect of this? |
A49262 | What are the reasons why Gods people must labour for this holy importunity in their prayers? |
A49262 | What is the Almighty that we should serve him, and what profit should we have if we pray unto him? |
A49262 | What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? |
A49262 | What then shall I think of my prayers, may some poor soul say? |
A49262 | What was his end in desiring the Holy Ghost? |
A49262 | What went you out to see? |
A49262 | What went you out to see? |
A49262 | What went you out to see? |
A49262 | When are Gods people most importunate? |
A49262 | When doth the Lord worke in the hearts of his people this holy importunity, what seasons are they wherein the people of God are most importunate? |
A49262 | When you may go a sure way, why will you run a hazard? |
A49262 | Whereas they might have objected, all our fathers vvere bred up in the law of Moses, and shall vve take upon us a nevv vvay, a nevv religion? |
A49262 | Why so few importunate in prayer? |
A49262 | Why the Gospel not so succesfull now as formerly? |
A49262 | Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoyce in thee? |
A49262 | You see here God had purposed, and promised to blesse the house of David, and to continue it for ever; doth this make David remisse in prayer? |
A49262 | a Prophet? |
A49262 | a read shaken with the winde? |
A49262 | and what profit should we have if we pray unto him? |
A49262 | but, Lovest thou me more then these? |

A45310 | Our Saviour bids us consider the Lillies of the field? |

A45310 | What maceration is there here with feares and jealousies ▪ what cruel extortion and oppression exercised upon other? |
A45310 | Wherefore would he, who is the Lord of Life, die, but to sanctifie, season, and sweeten death to us? |
A45310 | Who can fear that enemy, whom his Redeemer hath Conquered for him? |

A45310 | Who would go any other way then his Saviour went before him? |
A45310 | Who would not have been angry with that cholerick Prophet to hear him so furiously contest with his maker for a withered Gourd? |
A45310 | Would I have meat and drink? |
A45310 | Yea, how many, that out of an impatience to stay the leasure of vengeance, have made their own hands, their hasty Executioners? |
A45310 | and do I rove over all the latitude of Nature for contentment? |
A45310 | and if a man will spurn against strong Iron- pikes, what can he hope to carry away but wounds? |
A45310 | and looks angerly at the least crosses; as if he said, Why thus much? |

A45310 | life is sweet, but if our Maker have ordained, that nothing but Death can render us glorious, what madness is it to stick at the condition? |
A45310 | shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? |
A45310 | the Grashopper feeds on dew, the Chameleon on air, what care they for other Viands? |
A45310 | to be in the case of Surena the Parthian Lord ▪ that could never remove his Family with less then a thousand Camels? |
A45310 | we see him by us, who hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee: Do we droop under spiritual desertions? |
A45310 | we seed upon the cordial Promises of our God: Do we sigh and groan under varieties of grievous persecutions? |
A45310 | we wish to live, who can blame us? |
A45310 | what but a fair blossom, that drops off, so soon as the fruit offers to succeed it? |
A45310 | what but a flower, which with one hot Sun gleam weltreth& falls? |
A45310 | yea, how ill did it sound in the mouth of the Father of the Faithful; Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go Childless? |

A40658 | But Naomi said, Turne againe my daughters: for what cause will you goe with me? |
A40658 | But a wounded spirit who can beare? |
A40658 | But here ariseth a question, Whether Elimelech did well to go from Bethlehem- Judah, into the Land of Moab? |
A40658 | But here ariseth a question, Whether these matches were lawfull? |
A40658 | But methinks I hear the Widows and Orphants crying unto me, as the Souldiers to Iohn Bapti ● ●, But what shall we do? |
A40658 | But some may say, Why did not Boaz bestow a quantitie of Corne upon Ruth ▪ and so send her home unto her Mother? |
A40658 | But some will say, Why doth God suffer the Foundations to come so neere to be destroyed? |
A40658 | But the very haires of your head are all numbred: And where is their number summed up? |
A40658 | But why is there here no mention of the Living? |
A40658 | But, where is He, say some? |
A40658 | Can God be in so long a sleep, yea, so long a Lethargie, as patiently to permit the Ruines ● hereof? |
A40658 | Contrarie to which, how many be there, ● hat thinke themselves priviledged from being good, because they are great? |
A40658 | Did his intelligence or intellectuals deceive him, to be thus mistaken? |
A40658 | Doe we desire then to have dutifull Children, and faithfull Servants hereafter? |
A40658 | Doe we then desire to gaine credit to our Countrey, prayse to our People, honour to our Nation, reput ● to our Religion? |
A40658 | Doth God punish thee for thy sinne with a personall punishment? |
A40658 | Give me leave Neighbour Elimelech to say unto thee, as the Angel did to Hagar, whence commest thou? |
A40658 | Have I not charged the servants, that they touch thee not? |
A40658 | Have I not commanded the servants, that they should not touch thee? |
A40658 | Here ariseth a Question; How can one shew favour to the dead, who being past sense, are not capable of kindnesse or crueltie? |
A40658 | How comes the holy Spirit to use this word, Hap? |
A40658 | How comes the holy Spirit to use this word; a prophane terme, which deserves to be banisht out of the mouthes of all Christians? |
A40658 | How commeth it to passe, that thy Rivers of Oyl are now dammed up? |
A40658 | How contrarie is this to the practice of the world? |
A40658 | How faireth it with the Bethlehemites my Neig ● bours? |
A40658 | How many in this kinde are cruell to the dead? |
A40658 | How many now- adayes make Deeds of Gift of themselves, without the knowledge and consent of their Parents? |
A40658 | How oft would I have gathered thee together, as an Hen gathereth her Chickens under her wings, and ye would not? |
A40658 | How 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? |
A40658 | If Envie, and Covetousnesse, and Idlenesses were not the hinderances, how might one Christian reciprocally be a helpe unto another? |
A40658 | If 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? |
A40658 | If he looks on, and yet doth ● ot see these Fou ● dations when de ● troyed; where then is his Omnisciency? |
A40658 | If he seeth it, can helpe it, and will not, where then is his Goodnesse and Mercy? |
A40658 | If the Foundations be destroyed, what can the Righteous doe? |
A40658 | If the Foundations be destroyed, what can the Righteous doe? |
A40658 | If the Foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous doe? |
A40658 | Is it not a pettie, a small, exile courtesie, and the hearts of poore people shall be comforted thereby? |
A40658 | Is it not at the best some diminution and abatement of his Goodnesse? |
A40658 | Is it possible that the Found ● tions of Religion should be destroyed? |
A40658 | Is not that sentence most true, God stretcheth from end to end strongly, and disposeth all things sweetly? |
A40658 | Is not the ● and of Joab with thee in all this? |
A40658 | Is there any Age so old, wherein a man or woman may not marry? |
A40658 | Is this she which even now was so promising in her words, and so p ● ssionate in her weeping? |
A40658 | It is not said, What can the Righteous say? |
A40658 | It is not said, What can the Righteous suffer? |
A40658 | It is not said, What can they thinke? |
A40658 | It may be objected, Why no mention of the Wife herein? |
A40658 | NO MAN? |
A40658 | Neither can such Fathers be excused, who never say to their Children, as David to Adoniah, Why doest thou so? |
A40658 | None to examine them, as Eliab did David, Wherefore art thou come downe hither? |
A40658 | None to question them, as Naomi did Ruth, Where wroughtest thou to day? |
A40658 | Now as for young Ministers, they have not this advantage, to speake unto young people in the phrase of Boaz, Hearest thou, my Daughter? |
A40658 | Observe in the words; What? |
A40658 | On the other side, hath God afflicted us with Zibahs to our Servants, and with Absalons to our Sonnes? |
A40658 | One may say of it as Lot of Zoar; Is it not a little one, and my soule shall live? |
A40658 | Or 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? |
A40658 | Our 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? |
A40658 | Question, Is it lawfull for us to lissen, hearken, and enquire after matters of forraigne Countries? |
A40658 | Rest, how commeth it to prove my Purgatorie, my Hell, my cause of restlesse I orment? |
A40658 | Secondly, A sad Question propounded, What can the Righteous doe? |
A40658 | Seeing this counsell was both good in it selfe, and good at this time, why doth David seem so angry and displeased thereat? |
A40658 | Shall 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? |
A40658 | Shall livelesse pieces of Wood answer the Names which men impose upon them, and shall not reasonable soules doe the same? |
A40658 | Shall not the Husband blush to see his Wife, which is the weaker Vessel in Nature, to be the stronger Vessel in Grace? |
A40658 | Shall 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? |
A40658 | So 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? |
A40658 | So 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? |
A40658 | Some might speak out of admiration, strange, wonderfull is this she who once was so wealthie? |
A40658 | Some 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? |
A40658 | Some will say, What is meant here by House? |
A40658 | Stranger? |
A40658 | The New Translation What can the righteous doe? |
A40658 | The Old Translation What have the righteous done? |
A40658 | The Righteous can, will, and shall suffer much; but alas if the Foundations be destroyed, What can the Righteous doe? |
A40658 | Then her Mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? |
A40658 | Then her Mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? |
A40658 | Thinke they may; But what can the Righteous doe? |
A40658 | Thou 〈 ◊ 〉 my s ● ittings, put my teares into thy Bottle; are no ● all these things written in thy Booke? |
A40658 | Was not this too much honour to give to any mortall Creature? |
A40658 | What Can the Righteous? |
A40658 | What a deale of stirre is there in the World for Civill Precedencie, and Prioritie? |
A40658 | What can the Righteous? |
A40658 | What can the Righteous? |
A40658 | What hurt or harme had it been, if they had met her in another field? |
A40658 | What if the Earth had brought forth Thornes and Thistles? |
A40658 | What if the Heathen had superstitiously worshipped the Hoast of Heaven? |
A40658 | What is a man profited, if he shall gaine the whole world, ● nd lose his owne s ● ule? |
A40658 | What is the rate of Corne? |
A40658 | What maketh Tale- bearers so many, and their Tales so long, but that such persons are sensible, that others are pleasingly affected with their talke? |
A40658 | What the price of Oyle? |
A40658 | What the value of Wine? |
A40658 | What then is to be done in this case, to make man capable of Gods discourse? |
A40658 | What, my Sonnes? |
A40658 | What, would David depart from God, after his deliverance? |
A40658 | When he had said to Peter the third time, Lovest thou me? |
A40658 | Where had Elijah lived? |
A40658 | Who can hinder it, if men of their Girdles and Garters make Halters to hang themselves? |
A40658 | Who hath more golden Sentences then Seneca against the Contempt of Gold? |
A40658 | Who then is able to hold out Suit ● ith God in the Court of Heaven? |
A40658 | Who will looke, that Water should ● low from a drie Fountain, Grapes grow on a withered Vine, Fruit flourish on a dead Figge- tree? |
A40658 | Whose is this Maid? |
A40658 | Why Him and Them? |
A40658 | Why Naomi, Why didst thou quench the zeale of thy daughters, which proffered themselves so willingly to goe with thee? |
A40658 | Why is the Number altered? |
A40658 | Would he use him as Travellers a Bush? |
A40658 | Would ye tarry for them? |
A40658 | Would you be deferred for them from taking of Husbands? |
A40658 | Yea, but one may say, How came Ruth to know who was the God of Naomi? |
A40658 | Yet as David, when Achish asked him, where he had been? |
A40658 | a Famine: Where? |
A40658 | and what, persons of my wombe? |
A40658 | and what, the Sonnes of my desire? |
A40658 | and whether goest thou? |
A40658 | but, Where can such a Righteous man be found? |
A40658 | come under it in a storme, and leave it in fair weather? |
A40658 | from Bethlehem- Iudah: Whether? |
A40658 | how quickly is a River of Riches drained drie? |
A40658 | how soon is a full clod turned into parched earth? |
A40658 | if there be no performance for the present, what promise is there for the future? |
A40658 | in the Land: When? |
A40658 | one that supplied others, into one that needeth to be supplied by others: Is not this Naomi? |
A40658 | saith to his servants, Kill Amnon, fear not, for have I not commanded you? |
A40658 | she that formerly was so faire, 〈 ◊ 〉 one can scarce read the ruines of ● eauty in her face: Is not this Naomi? |
A40658 | that there is no bread found in Bethlem, the house of bread? |
A40658 | thy ● treams of Wine drained drie? |
A40658 | wilt thou leave that place wher ● Gods worship is truly professed, and go ● into an Idol ● trous Country? |
A40658 | with Boaz my Kinsman? |
A40658 | ● f he seeth it, and can not helpe it ▪ where then is his Omnipotency? |
A23697 | 1. so we may demand of these zealous Invaders, where is the bill of assignment, by which that right was transferr''d to them? |
A23697 | 15. have I need of mad men? |
A23697 | 18. but now we gird our selves and go whither we will; and alass, what use do many of us make of this freedom? |
A23697 | 25. Who then can be saved? |
A23697 | 3. and what can he want who possesses him who is all things? |
A23697 | 3. may yet startle at Esays, who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A23697 | 41. whet his glittering Sword? |
A23697 | 47. how solicitous are they to repair that error, and leave nothing to the mercy of a Law- quirk? |
A23697 | 50. so verified to have our God in this sense, such a one as our selves? |
A23697 | 9. and shall we hope he will connive at it in Christians? |
A23697 | 9. is very pertinent, Who did sin, this man or his Parents? |
A23697 | AND if this Inquisition be impartially made, who among us can plead not guilty? |
A23697 | AND indeed if we examine the original of this kind of Sorrow, what is there that an with any face pretend to an acceptation? |
A23697 | AND now who can suspect that a cause so rightly dispos''d, should miss of its effect? |
A23697 | Alas what propriety had all their legal purifications towards the cleansing of the mind? |
A23697 | Alas, is it not enough to be at distance where we differ, but must we be so also where we agree? |
A23697 | Alas, is not the whole circuit of Secular things wide enough to contain this swelling humour? |
A23697 | Alas, what stupid folly has possest men? |
A23697 | And aemulate the Angelical obedience and purity, as much as bliss? |
A23697 | And can he imagine we have any such Precept, as lye not one to another, or any such penalty upon the infringer, as exclusion from the new Ierusalem? |
A23697 | And can they be proud of that Vertue which the Devil himself will allow them? |
A23697 | And can we think it sufficient to atone an incensed Majesty, that we love our own ease, while yet we love our sin so much better? |
A23697 | And do we daily thus see Ishmael mocking Isaac, and shall we not think it time to cast out the Bond- woman and her Son? |
A23697 | And how does it reproach the slightness of our sleepy heartless addresses? |
A23697 | And how great an ardency is required to this intercession? |
A23697 | And how wretched, how deplorable is this state? |
A23697 | And it cries out with Esay too, Who can dwell with everlasting Fire? |
A23697 | And now are all these worth no regard, if they are not, why did we exclaim so loudly when we wanted them? |
A23697 | And now in such a distress, who would not think that such a necessity should have become our vertue? |
A23697 | And think themselves good enough when they are as bad as he wishes them? |
A23697 | And why should not our more worthy Hopes excite as great an earnestness? |
A23697 | Are not our Persons at freedom; deliver''d from that kind word, and unkind thing, SECURING? |
A23697 | Are there not Pomps and Vanities of the world enough to entertain this one Lust, but must this Moabite be brought into the Sanctuary? |
A23697 | Are we not also restor''d to all those spiritual advantages which we once profest so much to value? |
A23697 | Be Adulterous in act, that did not first transgress in his desire? |
A23697 | But what need we travel beyond the Alps to find out that, which every where presents its self? |
A23697 | Can he imagine that God sends forth an irresistible strength against some sins, whilest in others he permits men a power of repelling his Grace? |
A23697 | Can it be Incense in his nostrils, to have our Dunghils displayed? |
A23697 | Can we hope to bind Gods hands with Wit hs and Straws? |
A23697 | Can we not be elevated enough unless we trample upon all that is holy, and make Religion Factor for our Ambition? |
A23697 | Children with their Parents? |
A23697 | Do we as passionately desire to do Gods will, as that God should do ours? |
A23697 | Do we expect to reign hereafter, and yet depose our selves before hand here? |
A23697 | First, for excessive Fare, if a man be not excessive too in the eating, what does he enjoy of it? |
A23697 | For alas, what part of wild fury was there in the Heathen Bacchanals, which we have not seen Equall''d if not Exceeded by some intoxicated zealots? |
A23697 | Good God, how might true vital Christianity at this day have flourisht, if we would have bestowed our pains the right way? |
A23697 | Hast thou in all, or any of these estates been thus affected for thy self? |
A23697 | How light are our heaviest, how momentary our most lasting Afflictions, if balanced with that eternal weight of Glory? |
A23697 | How many Servants have on this score been at defiance with their Masters? |
A23697 | How must it then affront and baffle the enticements of sin, when we compare its empty vanishing pleasures with those solid and durable joys? |
A23697 | How shall he be perjured that fears an oath? |
A23697 | How shall he kill that dares not be angry? |
A23697 | If the first sparks of ill were quencht within, what possibility is there they should ever break out into a flame? |
A23697 | If this fairer and more specious part of us were thus reprovable, how obnoxious were the other? |
A23697 | Indeed, what encouragement had those poor creatures to receive a Religion from their Oppressors? |
A23697 | Is so glorious a prize annext to the victory, and will it not animate the faintest heart, and feeblest hands to the combate? |
A23697 | It cries out with Ioseph, How shall I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? |
A23697 | Men of common reason would be asham''d to use such frivolous cavils: but who can without horror hear them from profest Christians? |
A23697 | Must we always waste our strength in forging shackles for our selves? |
A23697 | Nay, has he not moreover( in the Scripture style) made it drunk with blood? |
A23697 | Now what other employment of wealth is there( after competent accommodations are provided) which can contribute to a mans Felicity? |
A23697 | Or defraud that permits not himself to covet? |
A23697 | Or that what has so many tenures in us, should be finally disseis''d? |
A23697 | Or the sword of the Spirit to subdue all to the obedience of Christ? |
A23697 | Or what cruelty in their most barbarous rites, which has not been matcht by the inhumanity of dissenting Christians? |
A23697 | Or who reverences a man for the sharpness of that Sword wherewith he commits his Paricide? |
A23697 | Our iniquities are upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we live? |
A23697 | Shall the sword devour for ever? |
A23697 | Shall these I say be so slight and inconsiderable, as not to hinder his ascent to the hill of the Lord? |
A23697 | Snuff at his service, and say, What a weariness is it? |
A23697 | Suffer every the vilest lust to rule over us? |
A23697 | That this so auspicious Planet should be counter- influenc''t by any malevolent Star? |
A23697 | The essence and being of Christianity is practice; and according to that Test and proof thereof, where almost can it be said to Exist in the world? |
A23697 | This is sure too wild an imagination for any to entertain, yet what more sober one can any pretend, in favour of so stupendous an improvidence? |
A23697 | Thus saith the Lord, A sword, a sword, it is sharpned to make a sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter, should we then make mirth? |
A23697 | To arrest his vengeance with such faint and feeble assaults? |
A23697 | WHEN all this is consider''d, what a sad abode does it make? |
A23697 | Was it not enough that he engag''d his Omnipotence for us, but must his Omniscience also be prest upon the same service? |
A23697 | What Lions can we fear in the way which this hope is not Sampson enough to encounter? |
A23697 | What a Piety is this that we must owe to the Devil, while we can be no better than he will let us? |
A23697 | What a mockery is it for a man to be zealous for God, and rebellious against his King? |
A23697 | What nicety in cloaths or diet have we cut off in sympathy with the nakedness and hunger of our afflicted brethren? |
A23697 | What shall we drink? |
A23697 | What vanity( I fear I may ask what vice) have we substracted, upon the sense of Gods anger? |
A23697 | Whether these marks of the Beast can ever rank them among the followers of the Lamb? |
A23697 | Whether they bring Alexanders sword to cut asunder the Gordian knot, to sever between the promise and the condition? |
A23697 | Who admires the Sagacity of the Viper, that Eats her way through her mothers bowels? |
A23697 | Who is there that( unless awakened by his personal concernments) seems at all to startle at the noise of publick ruine? |
A23697 | Why doest thou tread my Courts? |
A23697 | Why should men wander to seek beggary and emptiness, who may with far less labour be rich at home? |
A23697 | Ye stand upon the sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every man his neighbours wife, and shall ye possess the land? |
A23697 | Yet now we have them, who considers them, or is regulated by them? |
A23697 | Yet what multitudes of men are there engag''d in such chases as this? |
A23697 | and by what measures do they make their estimates? |
A23697 | and can we think it will be more modest, when it shall be told that they are only edgeless weapons it hath to encounter? |
A23697 | and hast thou with him wept sore, and vehemently solicited a recovery? |
A23697 | and hast thou with loud and earnest cries, appealed to that God to whom vengeance belongs? |
A23697 | and provide all he could foresee we would wish? |
A23697 | can we remember that we are candidates for a Kingdom, and yet retain the abject spirits of slaves? |
A23697 | has thy estate been invaded by Oppression, thy fame by Slander and Detraction? |
A23697 | how are their precious Souls become so vile in their eyes, that they are the only part of them, which they think below their regard? |
A23697 | if they are, why are we still as querulous now we have them? |
A23697 | is it a vertue to have some ineffective regrets to damnation, and such a Vertue too, as shall serve to ballance all our vices? |
A23697 | knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the later end? |
A23697 | nay, Wives with their Husbands? |
A23697 | nay, bring down Heaven to us, and enstate us in undisturb''d unmix''d felicities? |
A23697 | or can his pure eyes be gratified with such polluted prospects? |
A23697 | or hast thou been in that condition which is proverbial for setting men to their prayers? |
A23697 | or that those who would not permit them to enjoy what was their own, meant to help them to any thing better? |
A23697 | or why should he let those sacred monuments remain among them, to whom all memorials of him serve but as occasions, and incentives to blaspheme him? |
A23697 | shall we for ever cherish this generation of Vipers to tear out the bowels of our common Mother? |
A23697 | that God must replant us a Paradise, pluck up every one of the Briers and Thorns which were our native curse? |
A23697 | that Gods Thunder amidst all its noise carries no bolt? |
A23697 | why should they think that those who tortured and kill''d their bodies, were really concern''d to save their Souls? |
A58125 | ( And by the way, is this such a pleasant Life that it''s worth being damn''d for to Hell- torments to all eternity? |
A58125 | And do they not then deserve our love and care? |
A58125 | And does not this good God well deserve all the love and service which we can possibly render him? |
A58125 | And if you follow them to their own Homes, what disturbance and mischief do they make there? |
A58125 | And is there any other way to make our selves happy but by gaining the love of God and eternal life? |
A58125 | And ought not Children to obey their Parents who begot them and brought them up? |
A58125 | And shall Man alone be useless and unfruitful, and live to no good purpose? |
A58125 | And what sort of Christians are they that would reject Christian Baptism, because it engages them to an holy life? |
A58125 | And what wonder if their petition be now granted, and they sentenced to that damnation which they thus called for? |
A58125 | And will not all the joys of Heaven that shall last for ever and ever, abundantly reward our diligence in Gods service for this short life time? |
A58125 | Are not Servants bound to work for them who maintain them and pay them Wages? |
A58125 | Are they not our own Souls? |
A58125 | Are you not much more concerned for your Bodies than for your precious Souls? |
A58125 | Are you not often guilty of lying and slandering, of cozening and cheating, if not of downright stealing? |
A58125 | Are you not wo nt to neglect God''s worship and service, both in the Church and at home? |
A58125 | But do not they cast off Jesus Christ from being their Master, who look upon his commands as too strict and severe, and will not promise to obey him? |
A58125 | But pray deal faithfully with your own Souls and tell me, Has it not been quite otherwise with you? |
A58125 | But who will hurt Men if they be followers of that which is good? |
A58125 | Could we deny him this most reasonable request, if we saw him now in person standing before us, beseeching us to turn and live? |
A58125 | Do we not see all other things answer the end for which they were made? |
A58125 | Do you live as those that believe the Gospel, sincerely endeavouring in all things to know the Will of God and do it? |
A58125 | Do you not allow your selves in Drunkenness or Whoredom, or some other known and wilful sin? |
A58125 | Do you not in your anger use railing and reviling Language? |
A58125 | Do you watch carefully and fight manfully against your spiritual Enemies? |
A58125 | Does it not cost you much more to go to Law for revenge, than to forgive an injury? |
A58125 | Does not a thousand pound a year deserve the labour of one day? |
A58125 | Have you not lived in wilful ignorance of your Duty, or in gross sins against your Knowledge? |
A58125 | Have you so far understood and considered these things, that you have made it your chief business to walk accordingly? |
A58125 | Have you well considered what is the meaning of this Name; and what Engagement you lie under to an Holy Life by taking it upon you in Baptism? |
A58125 | How chearfully may he live at all times, notwithstanding his Poverty? |
A58125 | How often do the great drinkers not only waste their Estates, but destroy their Health, weaken their Brains, and shorten their Lives? |
A58125 | If I should make the comparison only betwixt a sober Man and a Drunkard, which do you think has the better of it in this Life? |
A58125 | If we be wise and good, is it not for our selves, for our own happiness? |
A58125 | In a word, is this your greatest study and design to please and glorifie God, and to work out your own salvation? |
A58125 | Is it not most fit and decent for a Man to eat and drink moderately, so as makes most for his health? |
A58125 | Is it not most reasonable that Children should obey their Parents, and Subjects their Rulers? |
A58125 | Is it not much cheaper to live soberly and honestly, than to live in Drunkenness and Whoredom and such like wastful sins? |
A58125 | Must our Souls live for ever in another World, and shall we not use our utmost care and diligence to make them happy for ever there? |
A58125 | Nay did not many of these prophane wretches even call for this curse upon their own heads, in that hellish Language of God damn me? |
A58125 | Now if this be the end of our Creation, ought we not to live up to it? |
A58125 | Often ponder of those weighty Words of our Blessed Saviour, What will it profit a Man to gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul? |
A58125 | Or do you not live in Envy and Malice, seeking for revenge of those that have done you any injury? |
A58125 | Or what hurt does a man bring upon himself by living soberly and chastly, by fearing God and honouring the King? |

A26845 | That provide for their peace, and safety, and contentment in this vvorld; that say, What shall we do to be rich? |
A26845 | The enquiri ● ● ● this, God is in Heaven; and, What conformitie is there in you on Earth, to that God who is in Heaven? |
A26845 | The spirit will sustain his infirmities; but a wounded spirit, who can bear? |
A26845 | Then tell me, to whom you owe your conformity? |
A26845 | Thirdly, VVe are next to enquire, By which you will be most advantaged, whether by a conformity to God, or the world? |
A26845 | This is the great thing every one is apt to enquire after, If I do so, what shall I get by it? |
A26845 | To have the world commend us, and God condemn us? |
A26845 | To what world are they conformed? |
A26845 | To whom do you owe your lives? |
A26845 | To whom owe you your Beings? |
A26845 | To whom owe you your Redemption? |
A26845 | To whom you owe most, whether to God, or the world? |
A26845 | Try your selves by this, Do you judg as the world judgeth? |
A26845 | Two things enquired into, VVhich promiseth most? |
A26845 | VVhat conformitie is there is you to Jesus Christ, in respect of Sanctity and Holiness? |
A26845 | VVhat is Purity, but a freeness from all Contagion, and touch of inferior things? |
A26845 | VVhat of Heaven in your judgments? |
A26845 | VVhat place, and vvhat vvorld do you look upon as your home? |
A26845 | VVhat promises do you most prise? |
A26845 | VVhat things do you most eye and look at? |
A26845 | VVhat vvorld is it you make the greatest preparation and provision for? |
A26845 | VVhat works do you? |
A26845 | VVhence do you fetch all your comfort in any sad and cloudy condition? |
A26845 | VVhere can you serve him for ever, and enjoy him for ever, but in another world? |
A26845 | VVhether those that are made concerning this world, or those that concern the world that is to come? |
A26845 | VVhich hath done most for you? |
A26845 | VVhich threatneth most? |
A26845 | VVho created you, God or the world? |
A26845 | Were they perfectly pure, without stain or blemish? |
A26845 | What Right and Interest do you most rejoice in? |
A26845 | What a low opinion hath the World of Christ, thinking him not to be so necessary, amiable, and desirable, as he is? |
A26845 | What a low opinion hath the world of Grace, thinking it not to be so excellent as it is? |
A26845 | What a low opinion hath the world of sin, judging is not to be so evil as it is? |
A26845 | What a low opinion have they of Religious Duties and Ordinances, thinking them not to be so necessary, sweet, and heavenly, as they are? |
A26845 | What a low opinion have they of the Saints of God, thinking them not to be so excellent and useful as they are? |
A26845 | What are we then to think of those that are Conformists to the world? |
A26845 | What beginnings of Heaven have you in you? |
A26845 | What can the world do for you? |
A26845 | What comfort will the thoughts of your conforming to a sinful wicked World, give you? |
A26845 | What engravings of Heaven are there on your conversations? |
A26845 | What have holy Spirits to do with sinful Rules? |
A26845 | What have strangers to do with a conformity to that place, through which they pass only as travellers, and where they lodg only as pilgrims? |
A26845 | What is Conformity but a walking or working by a Rule or Pattern, out of a study and desire to imitate it? |
A26845 | What life do you live? |
A26845 | What pleasure will it then be to you, to remember the sinful jollities and debaucheries of a fore- passed life? |
A26845 | What shall we think of those whose words are either worldly or wicked? |
A26845 | What though the World account such precise Fools, if the Lord call such the only wise in the world? |
A26845 | What was Enoch, but a Nonconformist? |
A26845 | What was Noah, but a Nonconformist to the men of his generation? |
A26845 | What was the course of the Wicked of those times? |
A26845 | When we look upon the visible Heavens( which are but the outside of that House), and see them so glorious, How glorious then are the Mansions within? |
A26845 | When you go to dutie, Do you go about it as Angels do about their work? |
A26845 | Whether all conformity to this World, be unlawful? |
A26845 | Whether we judg of things as God judgeth of them? |
A26845 | Which can do most for you? |
A26845 | Which hath done most for you, God or the VVorld? |
A26845 | Which hath done most for you? |
A26845 | Which promiseth most, the Word or the World: Look over the promises of the Word, and tell me, whether the World can promise what God in his Word doth? |
A26845 | Who are in Heaven? |
A26845 | Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean, saith Job? |
A26845 | Who can number the dust of Atheists, Swearers, Drunkards, Sabbath- breakers, Covetous, Prophane? |
A26845 | Who endued your souls with life, and hath hitherto held your souls in life? |
A26845 | Who sent a Saviour into the world to dye for you; and by that death to purchase pardon, and peace, and reconciliation, and eternal salvation? |
A26845 | Whose Angels are it that have pitch''d their Tents about you, God''s, or the World''s? |
A26845 | Why should I cross with the World, and cause the World to cross with me? |
A26845 | Why should I( say some) create trouble to my self, and may chuse? |
A26845 | a heavenly one? |
A26845 | and do you long for it, and to be with Jesus Christ? |
A26845 | and, What conformitie is there in yours to his? |
A26845 | but never ask, What they shall do to be saved? |
A26845 | or, that you have an Interest in the world to come? |
A26845 | that lay up for themselves treasures on earth, but lay not up treasures in heaven? |
A26845 | when you come to lye on your last and dying- beds, What comfort will a conformity to the World reflect? |
A26845 | which though we can not exactly walk in; yet, Do you strive to come as near in imitating his Example, as you can? |
A78780 | If the Lord would be extreme to mark what is done amiss, who could abide it? |
A78780 | Quid utilius potui, quam tot sententias in unum conducere, pulcras, acres,& itame Salus amet, ad Salutem natas generis humani? |
A78780 | What Widows or Orphans tears can witness against me, the just cry of which must now be avenged with my own bloud? |
A85437 | Can any Man promise us any thing better than Heaven? |
A85437 | Or, Can any Man threaten us with any ▪ thing worse than Hell? |

A17320 | But how may that be( will some say) or how may a man know by the affections of the heart, where the hearts treasure is? |
A17320 | But how shall wee know whether our hearts be in heauen, and Gods holy spirit be in our hearts? |
A17320 | But if thou or thy estate be called into question, as whose is not somtime? |

A17320 | What then? |
A17320 | What watching and warding is there in euery seuerall kinde, how great and diligent contention? |

A17320 | yea, and why iudge yee not of your selues what is right? |
A57656 | Againe, if the wicked shall have an end of their torments, why may you not as well thinke, that the Saints shall have an end of their joyes? |
A57656 | Againe, is not forme and matter the nature of things? |
A57656 | Againe, is there nothing that God knowe ● but what he made? |
A57656 | And Nisus, who thought every mans desire to be his god, — Sua cuique deus fit dira cupido? |
A57656 | And if light be a body, it must be every day generated and corrupted: why should not darknesse be a body too? |
A57656 | And if there had been a lake ● here before of an Asphaltick nature, how will it follow, that the combustion of Sodome was naturall? |
A57656 | And so, to what serve the Sacraments, if they doe not confirme and seale unto us the love of God in saving us? |
A57656 | And what else is this, but, with Plato, to make this world a great animal, wherof God is the soule? |
A57656 | And what say you to the circulation o ● the bloud in our bodies? |
A57656 | And why is Na ● ure rather a straight, then a circular line? |
A57656 | But is not Astrologie repugnant to Divinity, and impious, when it robs God of his honour? |
A57656 | But is not Nature a princi ● le of motion and rest? |

A57656 | But what needs the urging of this duty, which is grounded on the principles of Nature? |
A57656 | But why, Sir, do you weep at such a sight? |
A57656 | Christ tells us, that when hee comes againe, hee will scarce find faith upon the earth; how then will the Churches great Wheele move? |
A57656 | Did not many Kings and Prophets desire to see that which you slight, and could not see it? |
A57656 | Did not the Apostles see him ascend in a cloud? |
A57656 | Doe no ● you know, that the forme actuates the Compositum, and restraines the extravagancie of the matter? |
A57656 | Doe not you acknowledge it an Article of your Creed? |

A57656 | Doth not the matter receive the forme, and sustaine it? |
A57656 | First, how came he to be a temporall Prince? |
A57656 | Fronti nulla fides; how many are deceived by the face and hand? |

A57656 | If the gold be pure, why feares it the Touch- stone? |
A57656 | If there had been no dispute against Arius, Nestorius, Eutychus, Macedonius, and other Hereticks, how should the truth have been vindicated? |
A57656 | Is hee not said to ascend above all Heavens, and that the Heavens must containe him, till his second coming? |

A57656 | Is the dead body of an Ethiopian numerically the same with the dead bodie of a Scythian? |
A57656 | Is this ● our Religion, to make God the authour ● f sin, and to take away f ● om man totally ● he liberty of his will? |

A57656 | Secondly, in a ● old body the bloud is congealed, how ● hall it grow fluid againe without heat? |
A57656 | Shall I not strive to know God at all, because I can not know him here perfectly? |
A57656 | The Schooles will tell you, that the Angels differ specifically one from another, how then can they and the soules of men differ only numerically? |
A57656 | The difference only is, that they play''d the part of Democritus, but the physician of Heraclitus: now which of these are most blind with prejudice? |
A57656 | Thirdly, what becomes of this body, when the Sun goeth downe? |
A57656 | Was Abraham, ● saac, Iacob, and other rich men in Scripture, borne under Iupiter? |
A57656 | Was Sodome and the other Cities built in that lake? |
A57656 | Was it because he or they, by curing all diseases freely, would have hindered your practice? |
A57656 | Was not Saint Paul caught up into the third Heaven? |
A57656 | We reade, that Zoroastres was the first witch in the world, and hee lived after the Floud; were there no spirits, I pray, till then? |

A57656 | What''s ● ecome of the famous Churches of Co ● inth, Ephesus, Laodicea, Philadelphia,& c. planted by the Apostles themselves? |
A57656 | Where then would you have had them build it? |
A57656 | Whither was it that Christ ascended? |
A57656 | Who set ● he lake on fire? |

A33548 | What other but the true GOD, can command the Wind and the Sea, the Sun and the Stars, and all the Elements, and force them to obey his Word? |
A33548 | What the Heathen Satyrist also writes on this head, is not unworthy of a Christian, and deserves to be considered, Nil ergo optabunt homines? |

A33548 | and how unsutable to his goodness and mercy, to be courted with Cruelty and Barbarity? |
A33548 | and how unworthy a thing is it to be more curious about the apartment of our beasts, then the house of our GOD? |
A33548 | and what a folly is it then to fear any more then him, and to be more careful to shun a small evil, then that which is unspeakeably great? |
A33548 | and what his, who hath more? |
A33548 | and when he hath done so, can easily bring it back again? |
A33548 | as St. Paul said to the Corinthians, have ye not houses to eat and drink in, so I say, have ye not other places to do these things in? |
A33548 | at, nor any Empowred( as the High Priest of old) to deliver Oracles and give Responses; it will be asked what we mean by consulting GOD? |

A65896 | And shall we sin because we are not under the Law, but under Grace? |
A65896 | And what doth God by his Spirit work in those that are chosen? |
A65896 | And what more can we desire of Perfection, then is here granted? |
A65896 | And why should any contend or arg ● e for the contrary End? |
A65896 | Animad Why then should we fall short of our Duty, or of Perfect Obedience? |
A65896 | Can we desire better Help then that of the Spirit? |
A65896 | Doth he not give this Testimony of them? |
A65896 | He cites Augustine de Spiritu et Littera, that he saith, Alia est Questio, utrumaesse possit Homo in hac Vita sine Peccato, alia, utrum sit? |
A65896 | How can that be? |
A65896 | Is it not our Duty to fulfil the Condition? |
A65896 | It is one Question whether it be possible for a Man to attain to such a Perfection as to live without Sin? |
A65896 | Must we so? |
A65896 | Not? |
A65896 | Shall any charge God''s Elect, or condemn his Chosen and Faithful Ones with Unwillingness to serve their so Gracious Lord and Master? |
A65896 | That''s strange; is not the Spirit given to lead us into all Truth? |
A65896 | The Questions therefore is, whether God''s Elect be chargeable with any Thing that is condemnable? |
A65896 | Where can there be a Place for Disobedience to remaine? |
A65896 | Whether he that failes in the least of what is his Duty, doth not sin? |
A65896 | Whether that Degree of Holiness, which is attained by any Man, is not the Duty of every Man? |
A65896 | Why are we then so much opposed and striven with? |
A65896 | Why then must Sin have any Place of Continuance? |
A65896 | Without what Condition that which was required of us by the first Law, or Law of our first Creation? |
A65896 | and another, whether there be any that do? |
A65896 | and do we yet fail in our Duty whilest we fulfil it? |
A65896 | can this either consist with a State of Grace, or their Sincerity? |
A65896 | doth not God hear the Prayers, and grant the Requests of the Upright? |
A65896 | either for holding this Perfection, or that some Men sin not, which we see not consistant with[ no Man but sins] The Scriptures say both; what? |
A65896 | how should that be? |
A65896 | or how are his People a willing People in the Day of his Power? |
A65896 | shall God''s Children( by the Grace) either have Dominion or Power over Sin, and yet suffer Sin alwayes to have any Being or Prevalency in them? |
A65896 | throughly to sanctifie, justifie,& c? |
A65896 | what then shall become of the Generàtion of the most just? |
A65896 | who shall lay any thing to the Charge of God''s Elect? |
A50162 | A Service do we count it? |
A50162 | A man shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord? |
A50162 | Alas, have yo ● no more Kindness for your Families, than to lay them open to the Fury of a great and a terrible GOD? |
A50162 | Alas, how should it be otherwise? |
A50162 | Alas, what a YET is there? |
A50162 | All thy Time is given by God, and shall None of thy Time be given to God? |
A50162 | And I pray, Why should not you be afore- hand with him? |
A50162 | And are they truly Dull? |
A50162 | And ask them, What their Company is? |
A50162 | And this the rather, because of another Question, which is, For What were you made? |
A50162 | And what a phrensy is this? |
A50162 | And what tho you can not pray Quaintly? |
A50162 | And what was his Argument? |
A50162 | And what will the Issue of that Service be? |
A50162 | And will not this make you pray? |
A50162 | Are there any Back- sliding Souls, in our Families? |
A50162 | Are there any Converted persons in our Families? |
A50162 | Are there any Vnconverted persons in our Families? |
A50162 | Are there any Vnfruitful Souls, in our Families? |
A50162 | Ask men when Destruction and Death is near to seizing upon''em, How much would you give now for a little of the time that is gone? |
A50162 | Ask them, Have you ever yet carried a labouring and heavy- laden soul unto the Lord Iesus Christ? |
A50162 | Ask them, How they spend their Time? |
A50162 | Before we pray, we should think, Think seriously, To WHOM am I to pray? |
A50162 | But What shall we do? |
A50162 | But Where has he shewed it? |
A50162 | But are they dull? |
A50162 | But if the Ma ● ter be absent? |
A50162 | But is not this the deplorable Condition of many, many Young people here? |
A50162 | But let no man argue so Man hast thou Time to Feed thy Family and no time to Teach them? |
A50162 | But what mean you, O ye inconsiderate Youths, to delay the Remembring of your Creator so? |
A50162 | But, O Lord, who has believed our Report? |
A50162 | Can we say, I do not dy but live? |
A50162 | Can you not uprightly say, That if you were sure to be freed from Sin, you could be content to be struck by Death? |
A50162 | Do ye now believe? |
A50162 | Even so we should Enquire of our young people, What Thoughts are you most troubled with? |
A50162 | Every Afflicted man should ask, How may the Sorrowes of my life promote the praises of my God? |
A50162 | Every man should be able to make a good Answer to the Question which Pharaoh put unto Ioseph''s Brethren, I pray, What is your Occupation? |
A50162 | God is Trying whether you will now think, What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits? |
A50162 | Hast thou not lived above a Score of years in the world, and never yet seriously thought, What is it that God sent me hither for? |
A50162 | Have not I commanded thee? |
A50162 | Have ye understood all these things? |
A50162 | He not say it of thee? |
A50162 | How can Scolding, and it may be Striking too, agree with Praying ▪ in which we are to lift up pure ● ands, without wrath? |
A50162 | How many thousands of happy thoughts might we have as we are sitting in the House, or walking in the Street, otherwise wholly unimployed? |
A50162 | How much Idle Time, and how much useful Time, they allow unto themselves? |
A50162 | How much more will a righteous man regard the state of his House? |
A50162 | How, How can you be deaf Adders before the Charms of these Considerations? |
A50162 | If a Devil had a Bodily Possession of our Children, how impatient should we be to see them delivered? |
A50162 | If any man ask, How do the Scriptures of God help men in the Praises of God? |
A50162 | If your Children do not cry Hosanna, they will call wicked Names, they will curse and lie, and take the Name of God in vain; and which is best? |
A50162 | In short, Would we truly say with Ioshua, My House shall serve the Lord? |
A50162 | In short: Good was the Temper of that sick person who being asked, Which do you desire, to live, or to dy? |
A50162 | In this unhappy Case, What shall be done but this? |
A50162 | It is God''s Whose Air is it, whereby you are every day refreshed? |
A50162 | It is for our shame that even an Heathen made that complaint, Q ● uem mibi dabis qui diem est ● met? |
A50162 | Let every man often enquire, What are my Opportunities to glorify God? |
A50162 | Lovest thou me? |
A50162 | Ly at His Feet, and say as Paul of old, Lord, What wouldest thou have me to do? |
A50162 | Man, art thou willing to quit all claim unto the Death and Blood of the Lord Jesus? |
A50162 | Mine eyes do fail with tears, because the children swoon in the streets of the city; they say to their mothers, where is the corn? |
A50162 | Must I leave you? |
A50162 | No Service was ever so delightsome as this? |
A50162 | O save me, for in Death there is no Remembrance of thee, in the Grave who shall give thee thanks? |
A50162 | O sit down and think well, How shall I lay out my time for the best Advantage? |
A50162 | O yee souls in peril, What is it that ye resol ● e upon? |
A50162 | Often ask your own souls, What is there that I may do for God? |
A50162 | Once more, What is it that does engross thy Time, and put by thy Prayer? |
A50162 | One Question is, By whom were you made? |
A50162 | Our Children, did I say? |
A50162 | Our God has been as a Father to us; and yet shall not we Serve Him as our Master? |
A50162 | Quo semel est imbuta recens — Are they Young? |
A50162 | Say, Will you serve the cursed and cruel Enemies of your Souls? |
A50162 | Shall God say thus of Christ? |
A50162 | Shall the dead praise thee? |
A50162 | So should we ask our young people, Have you Experieneed a work of Regeneration in your souls? |
A50162 | Some desire to live, and wherefore is it? |
A50162 | Strikes it no ● cold unto the heart of the Reader? |
A50162 | T is a common thing to say, God knowes my heart; but who does enough lay that thing to heart? |
A50162 | T is a fearful Impiety and Presumption, for a man to sit down at the Holy Supper without enquiring, Have I a Wedding garment on, or no? |
A50162 | That Angel is yet alive;& he makes the motion to every one of us, Wilt thou be my Fellow- Servant before the Lord? |
A50162 | That infamous Apostate Iulian, was killed by the secret prayer of a good man, at that hour very far distant from him ▪ What shall I say? |
A50162 | The God of Heaven is Our God, and it becomes us to Fear Him; our Fathers God, and how much ought we to worship Him? |
A50162 | The first Question that the Thoughts of men should be employed upon is, What is the Cheef End of Man? |
A50162 | There are holy longings and lookings of Soul, with which we may cry out, Why, why are His Churiots so long i''coming? |
A50162 | They are like the Miser who on his Death- Bed, hugg''d his Baggs of Gold, and cry''d out, Must I leave you? |
A50162 | Those bright Morning stars ask this of you, Will you come and move in our Sphaere? |
A50162 | Thou Madman, From Whom hast thou all thy Time? |
A50162 | Thy Death stands, just behin ● thee there with an Horrible Pole- Ax ready lifted up, saying as the Prince of old, Shall I smite them? |
A50162 | To be extreme busy& earnest about the trifles of this world, while a precious never- dying soul is unprovided for? |
A50162 | To praise God, What is that? |
A50162 | To pursue, this Argument; I beseech you Brethren, Whose Light is it, whereby you are every day revived? |
A50162 | Well, Our God enquires of us, Why art thou unwilling to be taken away in the midst of thy dayes? |
A50162 | Well, put the Question so, What is the Cheef End of Life? |
A50162 | Well, who of us can say, that this day is not our last day? |
A50162 | What are they for? |
A50162 | What could it be for, but this? |
A50162 | What is the Use we are now to make of these things? |
A50162 | What manner of communications have ye? |
A50162 | What shall I say more? |
A50162 | What shall I say? |
A50162 | What shall we then do that we may leave no part of our due Homage to God unperformed? |
A50162 | What, No Time to pray with thy Family? |
A50162 | When Cornelius was at his Family- prayer, what a signal favour did the Almighty God show unto him? |
A50162 | When Esau had missed his Time to procure a Blessing for himself, how did he resent it? |
A50162 | When God has been merciful to us, even common Ingenuity, end much more, holy Ingenuity will put us upon that Enquiry, What shall I render to the Lord? |
A50162 | Where will you find a man that esteems his Time as he ought to do? |
A50162 | Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a Fool? |
A50162 | Wherefore? |
A50162 | Whether in Prayer they secretly and sincerely pour out their souls before the Lord? |
A50162 | Whether vain Persons and Fools, or the Saints which are the excellent, and all those that fear God? |
A50162 | Who reckons any more upon it than the false Gehazi did? |
A50162 | Whom shall hee teach knowledge? |
A50162 | Whom they sit withal? |
A50162 | Whose Fire is it that warms you? |
A50162 | Whose Meat is it that feeds you? |
A50162 | Whose Raiment is it that covers you? |
A50162 | Why can not we venture our Families and the Concernments thereof, in the Hands of the faithful God? |
A50162 | Why do Thoughts arise in your hearts? |
A50162 | Why tarry the Wheels thereof? |
A50162 | Why? |
A50162 | Will not such a smart Thunder clap, cause ● hee and th ● Famil ● to fall down ● pon their knees? |
A50162 | Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? |
A50162 | With what face can you pray in a Storm, if you do not also pray in a C ● lm? |
A50162 | Would you get External Blessings? |
A50162 | Would you get Internal Blessings? |
A50162 | Wouldst thou really and earnestly be holy? |
A50162 | Written and Formal Indentures are made between man and man; Why should not there be so between God and man? |
A50162 | Yea t is convenient for a man every Evening, before he sleeps to examine himself and ask, If I dy this night, is my immortal spirit safe? |
A50162 | Yea, Would you be General Blessings? |
A50162 | and For What am I to Pray? |
A50162 | and How soon may I dye, and my praying seasons all be over? |
A50162 | and will not you afford Prayers for the safety of those little ones? |
A50162 | answered, I refer it to God; and when it was again said, But suppose God should refer it to you? |
A50162 | or will you serve the GOD Whom it is good for you to draw near unto? |
A50162 | shall I smite them? |
A50162 | t is a solemn thing,''t is, A thing by it self: What followes it? |
A13694 | 1495- 1555? |
A13694 | 2 And now in this, what shall I say? |
A13694 | 2 And what haue we to doe with the termes and distinctions of Logitians? |
A13694 | 2 If thou say that thou art not able to suffer much, how then wilt thou endure the fire of Purgatory? |
A13694 | 2 If thou seekest rest in this world, how wilt thou then attain to euerlasting rest? |
A13694 | 2 Is there any thing hard to me? |
A13694 | 2 O fountain of euerlasting loue, what shall I say of thee? |
A13694 | 2 What can bee distastefull vnto him, to whom thou art pleasing? |
A13694 | 2 What can the world profit thee without Iesus? |
A13694 | 2 What doth it auaile vs to liue long, when we do so little amend? |
A13694 | 2 What haue I done, O Lord, that thou shouldest impart any heauenly comfort vnto me? |
A13694 | 2 Who is he that is able so warily to keep himselfe, that he neuer fal into any deceit or doubt? |
A13694 | 2 Why doest thou consume thy selfe with vaine griefe? |
A13694 | 2 Why therefore fearest thou to take vp the Crosse, which leadeth thee to a Kingdome? |
A13694 | 3 For what other Nation is there so famous, as the Christian people? |
A13694 | 3 Thinkest thou, that thou shalt alwayes haue spirituall consolations at will? |
A13694 | 3 What can I do for my sins, but humbly confesse and bewaile them, and intreat alwaies for mercy without intermission? |
A13694 | 3 What meaneth this most pious benignity, and so louing inuitation? |
A13694 | 3 What shall I say, being guilty, and ful of confusion? |
A13694 | 3 What will it auaile thee to dispute profoundly of the Trinitie, if thou be void of humility, and thereby displeasing to the Trinitie? |
A13694 | 3 Wherein then, Lord? |
A13694 | 3 Who art thou, that fearest a mortall man? |
A13694 | 4 And how can a life bee loued that hath so many afflictions, and is subiect to so many calamities& miseries? |
A13694 | 4 What auaileth it to delay confession, and to defer receiuing? |
A13694 | 4 What is all flesh in thy sight? |
A13694 | 4 What shall I giue thee for all these thousands of benefits? |
A13694 | 4 Why doest thou linger and make delayes heere, since this is not the place of thy rest? |
A13694 | 5 O my God, how much did they endeauour to please thee, and alas how little is that which I doe? |
A13694 | 5 Why wilt thou defer thy good purpose? |
A13694 | 6 How can I support my selfe in this miserable life; vnlesse thy mercy and grace comfort me? |
A13694 | 6 Thinkest thou to escape that which no man could euer auoid? |
A13694 | 6 To how many hath vertue, knowne and ouer hastily commended, bin hurtful? |
A13694 | 6 Whereupon therefore can I hope, or wherin ought I to trust, but in the great mercy of God alone, and in the only hope of heauenly grace? |
A13694 | 7 If thou haddest hitherto liued alwaies in honors and delights; what would it auaile thee, if thou shouldest presently die? |
A13694 | 7 The whole life of Christ was a Crosse and Martyrdome: and doest thou seek rest and joy? |
A13694 | 7 What will become of vs in the end, that doe so timely beginne to wax cold? |
A13694 | 8 How doe so many other religious persons, vvho liue vnder the strict rule of Monasticall discipline? |
A13694 | 8 What is there any where to be seene, that can long continue vnder the Sunne? |
A13694 | 8 Who will remember thee; and vvho vvill pray for thee after thy death? |
A13694 | 8. and I the most vnhappie and poorest of men, how shall I bring thee into my house, that I can scarce spend one halfe houre deuoutly? |
A13694 | ALL men by nature desire to know: but what auaileth knowledge without the feare of God? |
A13694 | And how often haue I found faith, where I least expected it? |
A13694 | And if he that firmely purposeth, often faileth; what shall he doe, that seldome purposeth any thing, or with little certainty? |
A13694 | And if they should say: Wee are in peace, no euill shall fall vpon vs, and who shall dare to hurt vs? |
A13694 | And if thou shouldest driue him from thee, and leese him, vnto whom wilt thou fly, and what friend wilt thou then seeke? |
A13694 | And now, beloued Father, what shall I say? |
A13694 | And thou, how doest thou vouchsafe to come vnto a sinner? |
A13694 | And vnlesse thou didst command it, who would dare to come vnto thee? |
A13694 | And what do all creatures auaile thee, if thou bee forsaken by the Creator? |
A13694 | And what maruell if he feele not his burden, who is borne vp by the Almighty, and led by the greatest guide? |
A13694 | And what more free then he that desireth nothing vpon earth? |
A13694 | And when thou hast runne ouer all, what hast thou profited, if thou doest neglect thy selfe? |
A13694 | And wherein shall I forsake my selfe? |
A13694 | And whom thou delightest not, what can be pleasant? |
A13694 | And why doe small matters go to thy heart, but for that thou art yet carnall, and regardest men more then thou oughtest? |
A13694 | Are not all painfull labours to be endured for euerlasting life? |
A13694 | Are they not all to be called hirelings that euer seeke comforts? |
A13694 | Be it so, that they haue whatsoeuer they will; but how long dost thou thinke it will last? |
A13694 | But if thou doest not ouercome little and easie things; how wilt thou ouercome harder matters? |
A13694 | But what art thou to thē that loue thee? |
A13694 | But what shall I giue vnto our Lord in returne of this grace, for so singular a charitie? |
A13694 | But whence is this to me, that thou vouchsafest to come vnto mee? |
A13694 | But where is this deuotion? |
A13694 | But wherein? |
A13694 | But who am I, Lord, that I may presume to approach vnto thee? |
A13694 | But why did I not prouide better for my self, miserable wretch? |
A13694 | Christ had aduersaries and backbiters; and wilt thou haue all men thy friends and benefactors? |
A13694 | Christ would suffer, and be contemned; and darest thou complaine? |
A13694 | Could all those words pluck as much as one haire from thy head? |
A13694 | Doe they not shew themselues to be rather louers of themselues, then of Christ, that alwaies think of their cōmoditie and gaine? |
A13694 | Doest thou thinke that men of this world suffer little or nothing? |
A13694 | For what are words, but words? |
A13694 | For what is it to thee, whether that man be such or no, or whether this man do, or speak this or that? |
A13694 | For what shall thy patience be crowned, if no aduersitie happen vnto thee? |
A13694 | For where is any that is indeed poore in spirit, and free from all affection of creatures? |
A13694 | For who is there, that approaching humbly vnto the Fountain of sweetnes, doth not carry away from thence at least some little sweetnes? |
A13694 | HOw may I obtaine this, O Lord, that I may finde thee alone, and open my whole heart vnto thee, and enjoy thee as my soule desireth? |
A13694 | He desired to fly with great liberty, that said, Who will giue me wings like a doue, and I will fly and rest? |
A13694 | He presently heard, as it were, a voice from God, which said: What if thou diddest know it, what wouldest thou doe? |
A13694 | How can he be lifted vp with vain words, whose heart is truly subiect to God? |
A13694 | How dare a sinner presume to appeare before thee? |
A13694 | How dry and hard art thou without Iesus? |
A13694 | How foolish& vaine, if thou desire any thing out of Iesus? |
A13694 | How is it called a life, that begetteth so many deaths,& plagues? |
A13694 | How many haue been deceiued, and taken out of this world on a sudden, when they least expected it? |
A13694 | How many perish in this world by reason of vaine learning, who take little care of the seruice of God? |
A13694 | How often haue I bin deceiued, finding wāt of faith, where I thought it sure? |
A13694 | How secure is it for the keeping of heauenly grace, to fly the sight of men? |
A13694 | How shal I bring thee into my house, that haue often offended thy most gracious countenance? |
A13694 | How shal I dare to come, that know not any good in mee, whereupon I may presume? |
A13694 | How shall I breake them? |
A13694 | How shall I passe through them without hurt? |

A13694 | If all men were perfect, vvhat should vvee haue to suffer of our neighbour for God? |
A13694 | If it were possible for thee to see all things created, present before thine eyes, what were it all but a vaine and vnprofitable sight? |
A13694 | If now a little suffering make thee so impatient, what will hell fire doe hereafter? |
A13694 | If now thou canst beare so little, how wilt thou be able to endure euerlasting torments? |

A13694 | If thou hadst not gone before vs, and taught vs, who would haue takē care to follow? |

A13694 | If thou wilt suffer no aduersity, how wilt thou be the friend of Christ? |
A13694 | Is it much that I serue thee, whom all creatures are bound to serue? |
A13694 | Is it not in me? |
A13694 | Is it not of nothing? |
A13694 | Is it not thou, my Lord God, whose mercies are without number? |
A13694 | Is not this a greater losse, then if thou shouldest lose the whole world? |
A13694 | LOrd, what is man, that thou art mindefull of him, or the sonne of man, that thou vouchsafest to visite him? |
A13694 | LOrd, what trust haue I in this world? |

A72210 | For he that washeth himselfe( saith the sonne of Syrach) because of a dead body, and toucheth it againe: what auaileth his washing? |
A72210 | How will men toyle and moyle for a little worldly trash? |
A72210 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A72210 | Now what is that, which cloggeth vs so sore within, and hindreth vs from running in this godly race? |
A72210 | O gaudium, super gaudium, vincens omne gaudium, extra quod non est gaudium, quando intrabo in te, vt Deum meum videam, qui habitat in te? |
A72210 | O ye viperous serpents, ô yee generation of vipers, how shall ye escape the damnation of hell? |
A72210 | The bride of Iesus would not turne backe from her holy race: saying: I haue washed my feete, how shall I defile them? |
A72210 | We sée that those that runne in an earthly race( and that but for a meane reward) how swiftly do they streine themselues to runne? |
A72210 | Who will heare his prayer? |
A72210 | and by thy name cast out diuels? |
A72210 | and by thy name done many great workes? |
A72210 | haue we not professed thy Gospell, and borne the name of thine? |
A72210 | hell, where is thy victory? |
A72210 | how will men vse all their wits, and bend all their studies to be worldly rich? |
A72210 | or what doth his fasting helpe him? |
A72210 | shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sword? |
A68048 | Also what are these windowes in the wall wherat ● ee vieweth her, but pure intentions through brenunciation of all vncleanesse? |
A68048 | But how shall I knowe( say yow) of which of these twoe causes this feeble resistance cometh? |
A68048 | But which is the seate of this th one wherin God reposeth himself, if not( constant perseuerance?) |
A68048 | Comest thow to wash the feete of my muddy and earthly affections through thy heauenly and familiar condescent and chearishings? |
A68048 | For, how can that tend to perfection that nourisheth proper will, and leaueth of obedience? |
A68048 | For, what is this iourney els then the vvill of God by which a man trauaileth toward Paradise and discouereth the life eternall, as is said? |
A68048 | Heer how will say, if shee behold not the worke, how can shee doe it well? |
A68048 | I haue put of my garmēt, how shall I put it on againe? |
A68048 | I haue washt my feet, how shall I now fowlle thē any more? |
A68048 | If one say, why then doe yow call it the vvill Exterior seing it toucheth and reformeth the interior? |
A68048 | Now, what other thing is this diuine will ruling all our actions, and mortifieng all our passions, then this heauenly discipline? |
A68048 | Otherwhiles againe with S. Peter, Tu mihi lauas pedes? |
A68048 | Touching the perfectiō of diuine cōtēplatiō wherof the Psalmist saith, Quismihi dabit pennas sicut colūba,& volabo,& requiescā? |
A68048 | VVhence and from what goodnesse cometh it, that God vouchesafeth thus to come and visit mee? |
A68048 | VVhoe is this that ascendeth from the desert, abounding in delights, leaning vpon her beloued, and firmly vnited to him? |
A68048 | VVhoe is this that cometh forth like the rising morning, beautifull as the Moone, choyce as the Sun, and terrible like an Armay in battayle array? |
A68048 | and how is it taken away but by the renunciation therof for the vvill of God? |
A68048 | and when is it taken away willingly, if not when the soule doth it herself? |
A68048 | but also, Exui me tunica mea, quomodò induam illam? |
A68048 | or how can that tend to perfection that diminisheth true performance of profession? |
A68048 | or why the ship which is at Roan doth not ride in the sea at Nevvhauen, rather then in the riuer of Roan? |
A68048 | yea, which is most of all, with a syn full sowlle and his enemie? |
A12185 | 10. and then wee may triumphantly insult with Paul, Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
A12185 | Alas, where is the affection of love? |
A12185 | All goe together, GOD, and the things of GOD: What doe wee talke of loving GOD, and despise Christians, and Religion? |
A12185 | And can wee place it better then upon devine things, whereby we are made better our selves? |
A12185 | And have wee not more cause comparing the grounds of our affection, when wee have more then they in those times? |
A12185 | And if it bee so, what affection is answerable but admiration? |
A12185 | And is there any of us that can not say that GOD hath dealt specially in giveing them some mercie more then to others? |
A12185 | And so by way of contraries for ills, what are the greatest ills? |
A12185 | And so for sobrietie; what forceth a moderate use of all things here? |
A12185 | And so from us back againe to God, what are the things wee performe to him? |
A12185 | And what are all good actions but love well place ●? |
A12185 | And where were patience? |
A12185 | And with all to humble our selves, and to say with the Psalmist, Lord what is Man, that thon so farre considerest him? |
A12185 | And yet how many spirits edged by the Divell, oppose all that is good, and will not give way to Gods Spirit? |
A12185 | Are wee greater than Paul and Peter, the great Apostles of the Jewes and Gentiles? |
A12185 | As Saint Peter sayth, Iohn 6. when Christ asked them, Will you also forsake me? |
A12185 | As, is there not cōfort now in a litle glimpse, when God shines upon a Christians soule, when he is as it were in heaven? |
A12185 | Behold what love hath the Father shewed us, that we should bee called the sonnes of God? |
A12185 | But alas, what is it to that that they shall know? |
A12185 | But it will bee sayd by some weake conscience, how shall I know I love God, when I love the world, and worldly things? |
A12185 | But then for our soules, what food hath he for that? |
A12185 | But what affection is due and suiting to the estate of a Christian? |
A12185 | But what hath God prepared? |
A12185 | But why doth he set down any qualification at all, and not say, for Christians? |
A12185 | But why for them that love him, more than for any other thing? |
A12185 | Can a man say he loves him, whose company hee cares not for? |
A12185 | Can a man that lookes for these excellent transcendent things, be too careful of his life? |
A12185 | Could man when he was worse then dust, in a lost damned estate, think of redemption? |
A12185 | Doest thou defile thy selfe, and live in sinful courses, and hast thou this hope? |
A12185 | Doest thou love God? |
A12185 | Doest thou love God? |
A12185 | Doest thou pretend thou lovest GOD, if thou carest not for these? |
A12185 | Doest thou value thy selfe as a member of Christ, and an heire of Heaven, as a Christian above all conditions in this world? |
A12185 | Doth God delight in a meeke, broken, humble spirit? |
A12185 | Esteeme likewise carries our thoughts: Wouldest thou know what thou esteemest highly? |
A12185 | For a man to be nothing in Religion, and all that comes from him to be dead, and still- borne, to bee abortive actions who would bee in such a cafe? |
A12185 | For how could he look for love from us in a state of corruption, when the best thing in us was enmitie to him? |
A12185 | For if God had not revealed it, who could ever have devised it? |
A12185 | For if divine authority cease in the Gospel, what were it? |
A12185 | For shame, shall we be so Atheisticall? |
A12185 | For wee should begin the life of heaven, upon earth, as much as may bee; and what is that, but a blessing and praising of God? |
A12185 | For when is truth knowne, but when in particulars wee stand for it, and will neither betray it, nor do any thing that doth not benefit a Christian? |
A12185 | God hath prepared them, and he hath prepared them for those that love him; but how shall wee know that God hath prepared them for us? |
A12185 | Hast thou with Mary, made choyce of the better part? |
A12185 | Hath God set up a profession of Religion, and doe wee thinke that we must bee beholding to his, and our enemy for any base contentments? |
A12185 | How can wee love God with all our might, except as farre as our might extends our love extends? |
A12185 | How doest tho ● know thou art good? |
A12185 | How farre doth thy activitie, thy power, thy sphere, that thou canst doe any thing, stretch? |
A12185 | How shall I know I love God? |
A12185 | How shall our soules be filled at that time? |
A12185 | How shall we know whether these things be prepared for us or no? |
A12185 | Idolls of the World? |
A12185 | If a litle joy here bee so pleasant and comfortable, that it makes us forget our selves, what will bee that eternall joy there? |
A12185 | If a man should have asked them why they wold suffer their bodies to be misused thus when they might have redeemed all this with a little quiet? |
A12185 | If he should see hell open,& the terrours there, for him then to abstraine from sinne, what glory were it? |
A12185 | If the things that God hath prepared for his children, be secret and excellent, how then come we to know them at all? |
A12185 | If these excellent things in the Gospell bee secret, how come we to know them? |
A12185 | In the time of danger, whither doth thy soule run? |
A12185 | Indeed where shall a man have comfort in many passages of his life, if he finde it not in religion? |
A12185 | Is it Religious wayes, and religious company? |
A12185 | Is it not a vaine thing to looke for light from darknesse? |
A12185 | Is there such contentment in the delights of this world, that are the delights of our pilgrimage? |
A12185 | It is full of devices& inventions to please: therefore ● t thinkes, can I give consent in loving such, and such? |
A12185 | It is such an affection as sets the soule on worke to thinke, wherein may I give content to such a person? |
A12185 | It sets the minde on worke to studie, wherein shall I please God? |
A12185 | It will be objected, may we not love any thing but God, and holy things? |
A12185 | It will keepe us from all sin: what is any sin, but the abuse of love? |
A12185 | Kings prepare great matters for those they meane to advance: what shall wee thinke then God will doe for his friends? |
A12185 | Lord how doe I love thy Law? |
A12185 | May we not love the creatures at all? |
A12185 | Now the judgement apprehending God and his love to bee the best thing to make us happy, prizeth it above all, Whom have I in heaven but thee? |
A12185 | Now where these things possesse not the soule, how can wee say, that wee love God? |
A12185 | Our love is the best thing in the World, and who deserves it better then God, and Christ? |
A12185 | Shall a man thinke by a penny to merit a thousand pound, by a little performance to merit things that are above the conceit of men and Angels? |
A12185 | Shall men talke of love to GOD, and their affections are stirred up I know not whereabout? |
A12185 | Shall not wee presently disdaine any proud conceits? |
A12185 | Shall we envie when they shall shortly be turned naked out of this world to the place of torment? |
A12185 | Should not our lives be almost angecall? |
A12185 | That good woman she loved much, why? |
A12185 | The cause of it is his free love: but if you aske mee what qualification the persons must have? |
A12185 | The soule that loves God, and Christ, sayth, Is there any good people, any that carry the image of God, and Christ? |
A12185 | Therefore darke disputes of election& predestination, at the first especially, let them go: how standest thou affected to God, and to good things? |
A12185 | Thirdly, by arguing from the lesse to the greater: If peace of conscience bee so sweet here; what is eternall peace? |
A12185 | This should shame us, when they in darke times so loved the truth of GOD, and wee see all cleare and open, and yet are cold? |
A12185 | Those therfore that will part with nothing for God, nor for Religion, and the Truth, when they are called to it, doe they talke of love to GOD? |
A12185 | To let us know that religion and holinesse is a matter of power, Wouldst thou know what thou art in religion? |
A12185 | Wee can see nothing but the goodnesse of God, what is all the Creatures but Deus explicatus, God unfolded to our senses? |
A12185 | Wee have made choyce of thee, whither shall wee goe? |
A12185 | Wee see men of excellent parts are enemies to that they teach themselves, opposing the power of the Gospell: whence is all this? |
A12185 | Were it not for the joyes of heaven, where were hope? |
A12185 | What a base thing is it for a man to suffer such a sweete streame as love a holy current to run into a sinke? |
A12185 | What a shame is it, that when God hath given us such a sweet affection as love, that hee should not have our love againe? |
A12185 | What are all the Creatures, but Gods goodnesse? |
A12185 | What doe we heare but his good in those delights that come that way? |
A12185 | What doe we professe our selves? |
A12185 | What doe wee hate, but what is opposite to that we love? |
A12185 | What doest thou thinke of most, and highest? |
A12185 | What duty more necessary than to love God? |
A12185 | What enforceth the keeping of a good conscience in all things? |
A12185 | What forceth this, but the consideration of a glorious condition in another world? |
A12185 | What is the Gospel without the Spirit of Christ, to discover the minde of God to us? |
A12185 | What is the bent of thy soule? |
A12185 | What is the worke of faith? |
A12185 | What is thy choyce? |
A12185 | What is true grace, but joy, and love and delight in the best things, and all others spring from love? |
A12185 | What is wonderment? |
A12185 | What manner of men should wee be in all holy conversation, Considering what things are layd up in heavē,& we have the first fruits of them here? |
A12185 | What preparation? |
A12185 | What tho we should have of the world? |
A12185 | What will become of a man in this uncertaine world, if hee have not somewhat where hee may place his content? |
A12185 | What, did hee wonder at his love of GODS Law, when the Canon was so short? |
A12185 | When shall a man use the world, as though hee used it not? |
A12185 | Where were the exercise of faith, if it were not for hope of such an estate which feeds faith? |
A12185 | Whither goest thou man? |
A12185 | Whither should wee goe from him for contentment? |
A12185 | Who can comprehend the love of God, that gave his sonne? |
A12185 | Who could discover those things that are meerly supernaturall, but God himselfe? |
A12185 | Who would endure any thing for Christ, if it were not for a better estate afterwards? |
A12185 | Who ● nowes the things of man but the spirit of a man? |
A12185 | Why doth God reveale these things in the word? |
A12185 | Why doth he not goe to the root of all? |
A12185 | Why doth he not say, to them that believe in h ● m? |
A12185 | Why doth hee not say, For those that God loves? |
A12185 | Why not for those that God hath elected? |
A12185 | Why? |
A12185 | Why? |
A12185 | and shall we build upon the authoritie of the Church for these truthes? |
A12185 | and when are we angry, but when that we love is opposed, and wronged? |
A12185 | and who knowes the things of God, but the spirit of God? |
A12185 | but what bee these things that wee feele, and see, to those in another world, that wee can not apprehend for the greatnesse of them? |
A12185 | doest thou breake into heaven? |
A12185 | doest thou love God, and divine things, and delight in them? |
A12185 | doth God require our affections for himselfe? |
A12185 | for what is the Gospell but a revelation of such things as naturall men could never invent? |
A12185 | how can love and strangenesse stand together? |

A27153 | Now is not faith a profitable grace? |
A27153 | Now what better way to observe such things, then by a constant keeping of such a Journal? |
A27153 | Of what use are my parts and gifts of body, minde, or estate? |
A27153 | Or as Nehemiah; Shall such a man as I flee? |
A27153 | Or, am I not rather worse; more rich, and more covetous; more honorable, and more proud; more healthfull, and more wanton? |
A27153 | Put thou my tears into thy bottle, O Lord,( saith the Psalmist) are they not in thy book? |

A85173 | 12. Who knoweth then O Lord the Errors of his life, and his secret faults? |
A85173 | But how doth vain man justify what God condemns? |
A85173 | For what are good tidings if they be not told? |
A85173 | HOw great a progresse( O thou most holy) will thine Enemy and the Truths make, if this doctrine were imbraced? |
A85173 | He will say then, Have they not heard? |
A85173 | Is not the word nigh them, yea in their hearts? |
A85173 | Is not this the oil wherewith our Lord and Saviour was anointed above his fellowes, who are his brethren, partakers from his fullnesse? |
A85173 | Is the light of Nature, the light of Christ as Mediatour, nay Christ himself, and the strength that accompanies that light, the strength of Christ? |
A85173 | Is then a Prophetick light in all men? |
A85173 | It is indeed said you may all prophecy one by one, but its said also, Are all prophets? |
A85173 | Then how is man become the Author of his own salvation, while you change the name and call it Christ? |
A85173 | To establish themselves and prepare a high- way to Paganism? |
A85173 | WHat then is become of the Person of the Mediatour, the man Christ Jesus? |
A85173 | Yet surely if this promise exclude all outward Teachers, why should Christ give Teachers to his Saints? |
A85173 | of life and righteousnesse for sinners in a Mediator, or of Death because of disobedience? |
A85173 | or what doth it prophecy? |
A85716 | 11 When thou passest through a Church- yard, say, This is our home, appointed for all men, hither we all tend, and are we proud? |
A85716 | Am I so blind as not to know thy manifold blessings and graces, and immense perfections? |
A85716 | And how great is my ungratitude to offend him thus who hath done so much for me? |
A85716 | And now if love ought to be requited with loving again, what love is that which can equallize thy love? |
A85716 | And why do I love thee thus? |
A85716 | And why feedest thou thy mind with phancies, husks for swine, who art invited to the Kings table? |
A85716 | Is it not torment enough not to love thee, or need we be tied by laws and threats to love thee? |
A85716 | Is meat set before thee? |
A85716 | O WHEN WILL THAT TIME BE, WHEN I SHALL COME AND APPEAR BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF GOD? |
A85716 | Seest thou the Sunne? |
A85716 | What hast thou which thou didst not receive? |
A85716 | against whom? |
A85716 | and if thou receivedst it, why doest thou brag as if they were thine own? |
A85716 | and who am I that have done it? |
A85716 | doest thou love pleasures, God hath laid up for thee eternall ones in heaven; doest thou seek honours? |
A85716 | how much more he that loveth not God? |
A85716 | pursue those true honors there, why doest thou catch at shadows, and fumes and follies? |
A85716 | to have despised all his mercies and loving kindnesses? |
A85716 | what am I now, and what shall I be hereafter? |
A85716 | what have I done? |
A85716 | what have I said? |
A85716 | yet thou beholdest me; And shall I be so impudent, as to do this wickednesse before thy face? |
A89852 | and did he first send them to look upon their faces to knovv what to write to them, or doth that adde to his Word? |
A89852 | how hast thou helped God, or any wise man herein? |

A45311 | ? |
A45311 | A poore neighbour that is constrained out of need? |
A45311 | Alas, the Canon is peremptory; It is incestuous and unlawfull; what plea is there for continuance? |
A45311 | And even amongst our selves, how apt we are to brand one another with this hatefull marke where there is no true merit of such a reproach? |
A45311 | And if he may not be a Judge, who may be an executioner? |
A45311 | And they called Rebecca, and said unto her, Wilt thou goe with this man? |
A45311 | And what can be more contrary to the honour and obedience due to Parents, then to neglect them in the maine businesse that concernes our lives? |
A45311 | And, Children obey your parents? |
A45311 | As for Lyra, who is trayled in here, and cited strongly in Othoniels case, what shall I say? |
A45311 | Besides, the Pharisees question[ Is it lawfull for a man to put away his wife for every cause?] |
A45311 | But alas you say; I am poor my self, what need I then look forth for any other? |
A45311 | But have there been( as he saith) precedents of this match? |
A45311 | But what a loose point is this? |
A45311 | But, indeed, what law ever said, Thou shalt kill that man whom thou knowest innocent, if false witnesse will swear him guilty? |
A45311 | CASE V. Whom may we justly hold an Heretick; and what is to be done in the case of Heresie? |
A45311 | Cozens German, he saith, have been allowed to marry; What is that to the present case? |
A45311 | Doe we acknowledge the Oracular Voice of our dear and holy Mother the Church of England, and yet question whether we should obey it? |
A45311 | Even modest Heathens would hisse this Libertinisme off the stage: Amongst the rest, what a fool was Socrates? |
A45311 | First, Who is it that borrows? |
A45311 | For what can be more unjust then for a man to indevor to raise himselfe by the affamishing of others? |
A45311 | From Rules, let us look to Authorities, It is directly maintained( he saith) by the Canonists, and Scholemen; But what is it, that is so maintained? |
A45311 | Hereticks then they are and onely they, that pertinaciously raze the foundation of the Christian faith; what now must be done with them? |

A45311 | In this case what is to be done? |
A45311 | Indeed, how can it be otherwise? |
A45311 | Is it not because there is not a God in Israel that we goe to enquire of Baalzebub the God of Ekron? |
A45311 | Is not that coast equally excluded, though not expressed? |
A45311 | Is your heart therefore embroyled within you, with the guilt of some hainous sin? |
A45311 | It is fit for every honest man to seeme as he is; what do you howling amongst Wolves, if you be not one? |
A45311 | Now how can that marriage be in the Lord, which is against him? |
A45311 | Or can we thinke that God will indure an union made by himselfe to be so sleightly dissolved? |
A45311 | Or how is the Judge other then a partner in the injury, if for want of his seasonable interposition a good cause is lost, and a false plea prevailes? |
A45311 | Or rather is not the forme of publique judgement perverted, when innocence suffers for the maintenance of a formality? |
A45311 | Or what can be more horribly mischievous for a man, then to kill, that hee may steale? |
A45311 | Or what do you amongst the Cranes, if you be a Storke? |
A45311 | Or what necessity is there that the form of publique judgements should be perverted, unlesse an honest defendent must be undone by false sentence? |
A45311 | Parker, what doubt we now? |
A45311 | Secondly, upon what termes doe you lend? |
A45311 | Shall we therefore say, It is from the North? |
A45311 | Shortly; doe you enter into your armes, imprest, or voluntary? |
A45311 | The latter I must answer affirmatively: If the ordinances be holy, why should not you take your part of them? |
A45311 | Thirdly, if upon an absolute compact; is it upon a certainty, or an adventure? |
A45311 | This question starts another more universall, how farre we may, or ought to make known the secret sin of another? |
A45311 | To whom, but the owner? |
A45311 | Upon the summing up then of this discourse, will you be pleased to see the vast latitude of different opinions concerning these marriages? |

A45311 | Why at all, when there is no necessity, or use of the revelation? |
A45311 | Why may not I employ my restitution to the reliefe of my owne necessity? |
A45311 | Why so late, when the remedy intended, would be as noxious as the disease? |
A45311 | Woe is me: To what a passe is the world come that a Christian pretending to Reformation, should dare to tender so loose a project to the publique? |
A45311 | Yea how apparently contrary is this practise to the very originall institution of marriage it selfe? |
A45311 | Yea, what speake I of Divinity? |
A45311 | You ask now, to whom you should tender restitution? |
A45311 | and how can that be other then against the Lord; which is against the Lords commandement? |

A50403 | And who are so fit to run, as those who are young, and of nimble Spirits? |
A50403 | Are they full of courage, and valiant as well as strong? |
A50403 | Are ye afraid of those who are but Lixae& calones, Scullions and Tapsters under Satans Banner? |
A50403 | Art thou now past the Spring of Youth? |
A50403 | But how can the evils which Children suffer when their Fathers are dead, be a punishment to him that is deid? |
A50403 | But it may be said, Is not the second Commandement with promise? |
A50403 | But on the other side, how evil and wretched must those daies of Old Age be, which are accompanied with the guilt of many sins? |
A50403 | But put the case, the posterity of wicked men are converted, and become godly, doth God punish such for the sins of 〈 ◊ 〉 Fathers? |
A50403 | But some will say perhaps, ho ● are they made evil daies? |
A50403 | But what is the issue? |
A50403 | Can I hear any more the voyce of singing men and singing women? |
A50403 | Can I taste what I eat, or what I drink? |

A50403 | If you have made them evil daies, how should you mourn for this? |
A50403 | Is it a seemly thing to see a Lark or an Eagle to make her self a burrow or nest under ground, or to plunge her self in the Mud? |

A50403 | Now if these men did out live the outward comforts and contentments of this life, how much more do many wicked persons? |

A50403 | The year is but short, and quickly turned about in its several seasons: how soon is the Spring gone? |
A50403 | They mock''d them, what, must we be wiser than our Fathers? |

A50403 | What worse than Pride and a disdainful Carriage? |
A50403 | What, an old man, an old woman, and yet a graceless sinner? |
A50403 | Whe ● ● were now the pleasures of life? |
A50403 | When once Winter appeareth, we may say, where are all the flowers and Rose- buds of the Spring? |
A50403 | When shouldest thou provide against the winter of thy life, but now in the spring of thy daies? |
A50403 | When that fading flee ● ing breath that issueth in and out at his nostrils, is stopped by death, he is gone: and wherein is he to be accounted of? |
A50403 | Where- withal shall a young man cleanse his way? |
A50403 | Wherefore should I fear in the daies of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? |
A50403 | Wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burthen to my Lord the King? |
A50403 | Wherewithal shall a young Man cleanse his way? |
A50403 | Whom doth the Compellation[ My Son] better befit than the young Man? |
A50403 | Why then should we think, that having given the flower of our youth to the Devil, that God will accept of the bran of our old age? |
A50403 | Why? |
A50403 | Within a few months what will become of all the green grass that cloatheth the Earth? |
A50403 | Ye think ye have a great treasure of it, I pray what is it? |
A50403 | and Labour( what in them lieth) to destroy each other for ever? |
A50403 | but how blessed, how honourable is the gray hoary head found in the way of righteousness, whose unrighteousness is forgiven, whose sin is covered? |

A50403 | how will the name, the thought, the visage of death dismay him? |
A50403 | not in old age, not at fifty, at sixty, or seventy years? |
A50403 | or a brutish Lethargy, whereby they are not able to arise from the place where they sit or lie? |
A50403 | or how soon may some such heavy blow from the hand of the Lord fall upon us, as may strike dead all the delight and comfort which we took in these? |
A50403 | that those abilities of body and mind, which are at their best, should want employment? |
A50403 | what is more seemly for him that is well, than to do well, and to serve him faithfully who giveth him every hour of health which he enjoyeth? |
A50403 | wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burthen unto my Lord the King? |
A50403 | ye that sit here old and young, who knoweth when, or where the next blow will light? |
A19508 | & that which is most of all, how could fraile man sustaine the bensall of his Wrath and anger, if the Lord would intend it? |
A19508 | 29 Then Iacob demanded, tell me thy name, I pray thee, and he answered wherfore now dost thou aske my name? |
A19508 | Againe, will ye looke vnto Abraham our father? |
A19508 | Alas, how long will you wander after vanities, and follow lies? |
A19508 | And Iacob asked, What is thy name? |
A19508 | And Iacob asked, What is thy name? |

A19508 | And did not Peters fall bring forth in like manner the like fruits in him, that hee sheddeth teares now more aboundantly, then at any time before? |
A19508 | And how then is it that Iacob is brought in here as a wrestler with the Lord? |
A19508 | And if the Apostle accounted this but then so weighty to him, alas, how should wee complaine? |
A19508 | And shall I looke that this forbidden Tree, shall render any better fruite hereafter? |

A19508 | Hath he illuminated thy darknes? |
A19508 | Haue they not cause to feare least the Lord haue set them vp against him, as an object of his power and Iustice? |
A19508 | He might indeed: yet doth he make intimation of his departure vnto Iacob, and why? |
A19508 | He triumphs vvith Dauid, the Lord is the light of my saluation, whom shall I feare? |
A19508 | How commeth it, that in the same moment wherein God is taking their temporall life from them, they are seeking an eternall life from him? |
A19508 | How desirest thou that God should heare thee, when thou hearest not thy selfe? |
A19508 | How excellent is thy mercie O LORD? |

A19508 | Must not his glorious Majestie by infinite degrees surpasse the reach of our vnderstanding? |
A19508 | Neither shall wee see the Lord in the heauen as he is, and why? |

A19508 | There are here things of sundry sorts, wee must discerne euery thing in the owne kind: so our Sauiour taught vs, and after him his Apostles? |

A64109 | And why take ye thought for raiment? |
A64109 | And with how great uneasinesse and trouble does he make himself miserable? |
A64109 | Are not we his creatures? |

A64109 | Are we not as clay in the hand of the Potter? |
A64109 | Are ye not much better then they? |
A64109 | But however, if you will not otherwise be cured, time at last will do it alone; and then consider, do you mean to mourne alwayes, or but for a time? |
A64109 | But if it be enquired concerning the periods and distinct significations of this crime, and when a man is said to be drunk? |

A64109 | For, is not all the World Gods family? |
A64109 | For, what is it that you admire in the fortune of a great King? |

A85497 | CAn two walk together except they be agreed? |
A85497 | LOrd, here( I see) I may enrich my self by unjust gain; but alas what shall I be advantaged, if for this gain I must lose my soul for ever? |
A85497 | LOrd, how often have thine and mine enemies bent their tongues like bows to shoot out bitter words like arrowes against me? |

A52426 | After what manner it is there done? |
A52426 | And again, whither shall I go then from thy Spirit, or whither shall I go then from thy Presence? |
A52426 | And does not the Apostle tell us of some whose God is their Belly, and of others, whose Godliness is their Gain? |
A52426 | And for what is all this? |
A52426 | And if thou dost, why dost thou not use and enjoy it? |
A52426 | And if we ascribe the Greater to God, why should there be any Controversy about the Less? |
A52426 | And is not this the great Bias of Mankind? |
A52426 | And is there now any room for such a Passion as Grief or Discontent after such a Consideration as this? |
A52426 | And may I not in like manner bespeak the greatest part even of Piously disposed Christians, Go to the Men of the World, and learn Wisdom? |
A52426 | And now is this a Choice for a Wise Man, for a Man of common Sense? |
A52426 | And since this Will of God is done in Heaven, why should it not be done on Earth? |
A52426 | And what else does the Apostle mean, when he says of Covetousness, that it is Idolatry? |
A52426 | And what shall a Wise Man do, what refuge has he after this Discovery, but to Converse in Heaven? |
A52426 | And what then? |
A52426 | And what was the result of this Scrutiny? |
A52426 | And why should not God''s seeing us, have the same influence upon us, as Our seeing God? |
A52426 | And why then is not one as strange as the other? |
A52426 | Are they? |
A52426 | Are we as Good as we are Orthodox? |
A52426 | As for the Absurdity of the Sinners Choice,''t is the greatest that can be imagined; for what is it that he chuses? |
A52426 | Besides, are they also so Frugal and Provident, so Forecasting and Contriving for the future? |
A52426 | But do n''t we often lead our Selves into as Bad as the Worst of those we can Pray against? |
A52426 | But has the Reformation gon on so prosperously in our Manners, as it has in our Faith? |
A52426 | But in the First place, are not these Men even with the World? |
A52426 | But now are the Children of Light so careful to make use of all Helps and Means that may further them in the Attainment of their Great End? |
A52426 | But now will the Children of Light do much for their End? |
A52426 | But now, are the Children of Light such Prizers of Time, and such Improvers of Opportunity? |
A52426 | But to let that pass, how do they make good their Charge? |
A52426 | But why O God do we want Reason to perswade us to do thy Will? |
A52426 | But you''ll say, does not our Saviour call Love the First and the Great Commandment? |
A52426 | By whom it is done in Heaven? |
A52426 | Can a Man I say consider this, consider it well, and be a Hypocrite? |
A52426 | Can a Man consider any thing barely as Good, and not love it, when Love it self is nothing else but an Inclination of the Soul to Good? |
A52426 | Can there be any ill in that which so many do which is passed into a Custom and a Law, which is practised all the World over? |
A52426 | Do n''t they Centure as much as they themselves are Centured? |
A52426 | Do we not rather see Men drink down Iniquity like Water, and commit Sin with Greediness? |
A52426 | Do we not see Men all set and intent upon the World, that lay themselves out wholly upon it, and that can relish nothing but what has relation to it? |
A52426 | Does he not fly from these as from the Snares of Death, or from the Face of a Serpent? |
A52426 | Every Man is apt to reason with himself in the conduct of his Manners, as Luther did in the business of the Reformation, Art thou the only Wise Man? |
A52426 | For I demand, Is not the Interest of this Animal Life, the great Governing Principle of the World? |
A52426 | For how can he be tempted to Sin, who dwells always in the Presence of his Creator and Judge? |
A52426 | For nothing did I say? |
A52426 | For what if you walk not in the Counsel of the Ungodly? |
A52426 | He that contemplates the former, can no longer question, How doth God know? |
A52426 | Hereafter indeed''t is to be hoped, that some of us may be made like them; but what are we in Comparison now? |
A52426 | How far we are concerned to imitate this great Pattern of Obedience? |
A52426 | How reasonable it is for us to do so? |
A52426 | I say, why is not this to be look''d upon as equally strange and preternatural, as a Stone''s hanging in the Air? |
A52426 | If from Love or Desire, what better allay can be found than to Contemplate the Perfection of God, who is able to satisfy our most Craving Appetites? |
A52426 | If thou dost not want so much Wealth, why dost thou desire it, and take so much Pains to get it? |
A52426 | In Discoursing upon which Words, I shall First of all Inquire, what it is in general to judge according to Appearance? |
A52426 | Is it not enough that it is Thine? |
A52426 | Is not the Air as proper a Boundary for a Stone, as the World is for a Soul? |
A52426 | Is there a better Demonstration to be had of a Man''s being a Fool or Mad than this? |
A52426 | Nay, is it a Choice for a Man of any Sense at all, for one in his right Wits to make? |
A52426 | Of what Will of God our Lord is to be here understood? |
A52426 | Secondly, Whether all judging according to Appearance, be opposed to judging Righteous Judgment, and consequently here forbidden? |
A52426 | Shall I not then drink the Cup which my Father, this my Father has given me? |
A52426 | Shall I refuse the Cup which my Father, this my Father has given me? |
A52426 | Shall not then his Presence and Inspection be as strong a Preservative against Sin, as the Presence of a Man? |
A52426 | Should we not be above the Temptations of either Honour, Pleasure or Profit? |
A52426 | Since the Will of God is done in Heaven, why is it not on Earth? |
A52426 | The Cup which my Father has given me, shall I not Drink it? |
A52426 | The Poor Man it seems was as much straitened in his Plenty, as other Men use to be in the extreamest Poverty; What shall I do? |
A52426 | Thine, who art the best and greatest Being, who art infinitely Wise, Holy, Just and True, and canst therefore command nothing but what is so? |
A52426 | Thirdly, If all be not, which it is that is so? |

A26810 | How is it possible such rich and continued Goodness should not insinuate it self into our Souls and engage our Love to our blessed Benefactor? |
A26810 | How jealous are we of our own Reputation, how unwilling to incur Censure, to have our Faults aggravated, and to bear the Prints of Infamy? |

A26810 | Now could an Imposture produce such a perfection of Vertue in the wicked World? |
A26810 | Now how can we be proud of his most precious Gifts, of which we make a forfeiture and can not possess without Humility? |
A26810 | Now in the Churches distress we are apt to say with Gideon, If the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? |
A26810 | Now what can be a more powerful Obligation to Love him, than the receiving us into the high and dear Relation of his Children? |
A26810 | Now what is Flesh and Blood, but a mixture of Earth and Water? |
A26810 | Now what is the vain esteem and fading breath of Men, compar''d with the acceptance of God? |

A26810 | This inspired a holy Heat in the Psalmists Breast, What shall I render to the Lord for all his Benefits? |
A26810 | VVhat is the goodly appearance of the present tempting VVorld, but like the Rainbow, painted Tears? |
A26810 | We may imagine with equal wonder, how being the Son of God, he descended from the Throne of Majesty in heaven, and stoop''d so low as to become Man? |
A26810 | What Indignity, what Ingratitude is it, to be coldly affected to him, who by the dearest Titles infinitely deserves our love? |
A26810 | What Reproaches did the Lord of Glory suffer for us? |
A26810 | What Stupidity, what fury, to provoke so dreadful an Adversary, who can dispatch a Sinner to the Grave and Hell in a Moment? |

A26810 | What a disparagement is it to Believers to be fastened by the Chains and Charms of their Lusts, in a most ignominious slavish bondage? |

A26810 | What manner of love is it, that we should be the Sons of God? |

A26810 | Who would not fear thee, for thou art holy? |
A26810 | Whom have I in Heaven but thee? |
A26810 | Whom would it not inflame, to read the Narrative of the Tryals of the excellent Saints recorded in the 11th to the Hebrews? |
A26810 | Why does he load us with his Benefits every day, but for his Goodness sake, and to endear himself to us? |
A26810 | With what Solemnity do they prepare for the Divine Presence? |
A26810 | With what an accent and emphasis do they express their desires, Who will shew us any good? |
A26810 | and it may be said with the same Conviction, He that gives us the faculty of hearing, shall not he be heard? |
A26810 | hath he not also spoken by us? |
A26810 | that he should be able to deliver you out of my hands? |
B06083 | When we labour under a Distemper, that threatens our Life, what would we not be content to bear in order to a perfect Recovery? |
A52427 | Again, Is it not a great Happiness to be so moderately and indifferently affected towards the World, as to be contented with any Condition in it? |
A52427 | And besides, why may not an Innate Law be Allowedly broken as well as a Written Law? |
A52427 | And does Grief intitle all that are under its Dominions, to Happiness and Consolation? |
A52427 | And here, in the first place, it may be demanded, Whether all Anger be contrary to Meekness, and consequently unlawful? |
A52427 | And how can he tell that Childhood is that time? |
A52427 | And how can such a fluid Substance as the Brain is, retain any? |
A52427 | And how then can he with any tolerable Self- Consistency say that there are no Moral Principles universally consented to? |
A52427 | And in what part of the Mind? |
A52427 | And upon what part will you have them impressed? |
A52427 | And what does he think of the Idea of God? |
A52427 | And what is there after Emission that shall be the Principle of Transformation? |
A52427 | And what shall we do with Ideas that will not do their Office, that can not represent a quarter of the things which we are concern''d to understand? |
A52427 | And what then have we to do with Ideots and Children? |
A52427 | And what was it for? |
A52427 | And why may they not be at first as well as afterwards? |
A52427 | And why should Twelve of them only be specified, if they were not to be Thrones of an higher Order? |
A52427 | And why then must Innate Truths be Innate Thoughts? |
A52427 | And will he say that Self- evident Propositions are not universally assented to? |
A52427 | And yet is there any thing of the Material Relation under it? |
A52427 | Are then Truths and Thoughts the same? |
A52427 | Are they in the first place Real Beings or not? |
A52427 | Are they then Material Substances or Immaterial? |
A52427 | But I demand, Are these Eternal Truths in being before the Existence of Man or no? |
A52427 | But are all those blessed that mourn? |
A52427 | But do these Men indeed reverence the holy Sacrament? |
A52427 | But do these Men, indeed, reverence the Sacrament? |
A52427 | But how comes it to pass that this is the only Part of Religion that must be neglected upon the Account of Reverence? |
A52427 | But how shall Bodies send forth such Immaterial Species? |
A52427 | But now how can that which represents after an immaterial manner, come from sensible Objects? |
A52427 | But now how shall a Heathen Man believe that God is a Rewarder? |
A52427 | But now, What Original can be so mean, as to be from Nothing? |
A52427 | But to that the Author opposes the Evident Propositions which all the World agrees to,& c. To that; To what? |
A52427 | But what does he here mean by their not being universally consented to? |
A52427 | But what if our Critic should prove to be in the Right, and our Critics to be they that so strangely err? |
A52427 | But what? |
A52427 | But what? |
A52427 | But who can understand either of these? |
A52427 | But why are other things known by Sensation, but only because their Ideas come in at our Senses? |
A52427 | But why do I say Study to find Excuess? |
A52427 | But why is the Critic so strongly presumed to have err''d? |
A52427 | By any Revelation of his? |
A52427 | Come they not hence, even of your lusts, that war in your members? |
A52427 | Do any or all of these Dissent or think otherwise? |
A52427 | Do they do so by any other Part of Religion? |
A52427 | Do they live peaceably with the Church of England as by lawful Authority establish''d, as far as is possible, and as much as in them lies? |
A52427 | Do we find that rich Men are so very much happier than others? |
A52427 | Does the Reflecter by this contend for Innate Notions? |
A52427 | Expresly or by Consequence? |
A52427 | For I suppose he will not say that the things themselves come in at our Senses; for then what need is there of Ideas at all? |
A52427 | For besides the Difficulties and Absurdities already touch''t upon, what is there in the Material World that can resemble God? |
A52427 | For how can any thing be affirm''d or denied of any thing, unless its Nature be known? |
A52427 | For if the Righteousness it self be not such as will render a Man acceptable with God, how can the Desire of it intitle him to his Promises? |
A52427 | For otherwise what ground could the Heathen Man have so to Conclude or Believe? |
A52427 | For sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten, contrary to the law? |
A52427 | For what greater Love can there be than this, or what higher Instance or Tryal of it? |
A52427 | For what signifies Strengh and Ability( and Society as such infers no more) without Inclination to assist? |
A52427 | For where else should they dwell, since he is all, and fills all? |
A52427 | For where is there any like it? |
A52427 | For why should we seek any further, and puzzle our selves with unintelligible Suppositions? |
A52427 | For, when''t is enquired, How far we are obliged to Peace in the State, or Peace in the Church? |
A52427 | Had the Angels half so much Reason for their Pride and Haughtiness, when they fell from the Heights of Glory? |
A52427 | Here I remark by the way that he grants that the Breaking of a Law does not prove it not known, and why then should it prove it not Innate? |
A52427 | How can an Indivisible Substance, as the Soul is, receive any Stamp or Impression? |
A52427 | How can any Attribute be given with any certainty to an unknown Subject? |
A52427 | How can he or any Man else tell( upon his Principles) whether the Author of Nature has imprinted any such or no? |
A52427 | How does he declare it? |
A52427 | How shall I deliver thee Israel? |
A52427 | How shall I give thee up Ephraim? |
A52427 | How shall I make thee as Admah? |
A52427 | How shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
A52427 | How then are they Self- evident? |
A52427 | How then shall they commence Immaterial? |
A52427 | I only demand, Do they live peaceably with the Church as far as is possible, and as much as in them lies? |
A52427 | I say, Why should not a Man do this? |
A52427 | If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? |
A52427 | If a known Law may be transgressed, why may not an Innate Law, Innate being only another way of being known? |
A52427 | If it be asked, What kind of Evil tha must be, which is the Object of this Sorrow, or which may recommend a Man to our Pity? |
A52427 | If it be demanded which of the two states of Righteousness that is? |
A52427 | If not, how comes he to understand them when he does exist? |
A52427 | If the Proposition be Self- evident how comes he only to Think''t is so? |
A52427 | If therefore this general Head- Spring be not kept pure and clean, how can the Streams run clear? |
A52427 | If you ask in what Sense? |
A52427 | Is there no Medium? |
A52427 | Let him tell me what he thinks of the Word( Although) Has he not a clear Conception of what is meant by that Word? |
A52427 | Lock does not expresly say so? |
A52427 | Lock''s Notions,& c. But what if these hitherto related be none of the Authors, but your own? |
A52427 | Lock''s is; but will these Gentlemen say that he stops here, and gives no account of the Nature of Ideas? |
A52427 | Must Sin either be Positive or Nothing? |
A52427 | Nay, what is there in the whole Creation that can represent him to our Thoughts? |
A52427 | No? |
A52427 | Now to the Question, Which of these Degrees of willing or desiring is here intended? |
A52427 | Now to the Question; What kind of Righteousness that is, which if we hunger and thirst after, we shall be filled? |
A52427 | Now to which of these is it that the Reflecter opposes Self- evident Propositions? |
A52427 | Now what a dangerous thing is such a Motion as this, if not rightly determin''d? |
A52427 | Or how can a Command be reverenced by not observing it? |
A52427 | Or if it be, why do not the Ideas impressed by sensible Objects appear fairest in Children for the same Reasons? |
A52427 | Or if this might be avoided, where shall we find room to receive such a numerous Company of Corporeal Images? |
A52427 | Or upon the Brain? |
A52427 | Or what Extraordinary would our Saviour have promised to his Disciples? |
A52427 | Or whether we brought any with us into the World or no? |
A52427 | Or, Do we think that the Earth has Mines of Happiness, as it has of Gold? |
A52427 | Or, Is Happiness to be measured by the Acre? |
A52427 | Or, if they do reverence the Command, how are they not afraid of breaking it? |
A52427 | Our compassionate Saviour wept over the approaching Ruin of perising Jerusalem: And shall not a Christian mourn for the Miseries of the whole World? |
A52427 | So that I think I may well enlarge the Question of the Prophet, and to that, Is there any sorrow like to my sorrow? |
A52427 | That there is a time when Children begin to think; and why then may there not be a time set for the arising of such and such particular Thoughts? |
A52427 | That they are not actually assented to by every Individual whether capable or not? |
A52427 | That we have the knowledge of the existence of all things without us( except only of God) by our Senses? |
A52427 | The First is, Concerning the Manner and Way of this Divine Sermon, Why our Lord chose to deliver his Laws and Precepts by the way of Blessing? |
A52427 | To be of a quiet, sedate, resigned and dis- interessed Disposition? |
A52427 | Upon the Soul? |
A52427 | Was not God just now supposed the Place of Spirits, and are Spirits now made the Place of God? |
A52427 | Was not here enough to betray a poor innocent Virgin into Pride and Vanity? |
A52427 | We must be renew''d; and where? |
A52427 | Well, but how does he prove there are no such? |
A52427 | Well, how did she behave her self under the dangerous Salutation? |
A52427 | Well, if Real Beings, then I demand, are they Substances, or are they Modifications of Substances? |
A52427 | Well, what then? |
A52427 | What could have been said more mildly and dispassionately, or that could argue a more sedate and well- govern''d Spirit? |
A52427 | What else need, and what else can be the immediate Object of our Understanding but the Divine Ideas, the Omniform Essence of God? |
A52427 | What has he to do with Mirth, who has the Wrath of God abiding on him, and Hell open to receive him? |
A52427 | What if it be, is it therefore Sufficient? |
A52427 | What is it pray, that is here remarqu''d as a Fundamental Defect? |
A52427 | What, again in the same Blunder? |
A52427 | What, does he make that to be true, which before was not so? |
A52427 | Where is that Practical Truth that is universally receiv''d? |
A52427 | Where is the necessity? |
A52427 | Whether as materially, or as formally taken? |
A52427 | Who ever said it does follow? |
A52427 | Why a Prophet''s Reward, if there be not some special Reward assign''d to a Prophet? |
A52427 | Why may not Conclusions be Innate as well as Principles? |
A52427 | Why may not an Innate Law be transgress''d as well as a Written Law? |
A52427 | Why must needs? |
A52427 | Why should all the Reverence be fixed upon This, and none upon Do? |
A52427 | Why then do they not pay some Regard to the Command it self, as well as to the Matter of it? |
A52427 | Why then does he recommend only these two to be learnt by his Disciples? |
A52427 | Why? |
A52427 | Will he say that that is also derived from sensible Objects? |
A52427 | add this also, Is there any meekness like to my meekness? |
A54178 | A Man( say they) must have a great care of his Daughters: Hast thou Daughters? |
A54178 | A Person, whom he more then ordinarily esteem''d, and that had been his companion at Tennis, asking him, How he did? |
A54178 | Adam where art thou? |
A54178 | All is vanity in this world: O my poor soul, whither wilt thou go? |
A54178 | And being asked, who were Wise? |
A54178 | And do you think that words shall fend off the blows of Eternal vengeance? |
A54178 | And to another, gazing on his fine Cloak; Why doest thou boast of a Sheeps fleece? |
A54178 | And what''s an Idol, but that which the mind puts an over- estimate, or value upon? |
A54178 | And why wish''d he, with others, for more time, but that it might be otherwise employ''d? |
A54178 | Aristotle seeing a youth finely drest; said, Art thou not asham''d, when Nature hath made thee a man, to make thy self a woman? |
A54178 | Being asked, What Continence and Temperance were? |
A54178 | Being asked, Who lived without trouble? |
A54178 | Being asked, what learning was best? |
A54178 | Being demanded what Wisdom was? |
A54178 | Being demanded, from what things Men and Women ought to refrain? |
A54178 | But above all, how great was the reproach, how many the sufferings, what bitter mockings did Jesus suffer at the hands of his enemies? |
A54178 | But at the terrible day, who will go to her Exchange any more? |
A54178 | But how shall those many Families subsist, whose livelihood is by such Trades? |
A54178 | But if I were ask''d, Whence came they then? |
A54178 | But would you know his Country, and the reason of his invention? |
A54178 | Contentions, and Family Animosities begotten? |
A54178 | Could it possibly be, That one from Palistina should bring us Father Adam''s Girdle, and old Mother Eve''s Apron to be shewen? |
A54178 | For I ask, What would such be at? |

A66447 | And is it not possible for Gods children to perform spirituall duties with carnall ends and respects? |
A66447 | And yet, is the Language plaine? |
A66447 | B ● … t may not the children of God want holy pleasure and delight in prayer, and depart from Gods presence as heavy as they came? |
A66447 | But can any man now attain to such a strength of grace as this, so to wish? |

A66447 | How many hundred thousands of men, women and children have of late years been swept away in the world, by wars, famines and pestilencies? |
A66447 | How should we over- look and despise this worlds trash which( as the holy woman going to be burnt for Christ said of money) will not passe in Heaven? |
A66447 | How wonderfull those Plagues and Destructions upon Pharaoh and the land of AEgypt, for their oppressing Gods people? |
A66447 | I end( Deare Christian) with the proposall of two Christian knots, or Riddles, not unsuitable to these present Times and Spirits? |
A66447 | It is true that Paul cries out( how much more may we) O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? |

A66447 | May not wicked persons favour, love, and respect Gods children? |
A66447 | Qu: How stands such bold, and snarp language,( as some of the Prophets used) with humble Duty, Fear, and Reverence, due unto superi ● urs? |
A66447 | What is the reason that Gods children are sometimes hardly brought on to difficult services, and duties? |
A66447 | When all the most secret sins shall be brought to tryal, and an account shall be given for every idle word? |
A66447 | Why then are many of Gods Children so heavy in their sufferings and losses for Christ Jesus? |
A66447 | Yet who rejeyceth not in health, who mourns not under the pains and weaknesses of a sick bed? |
A66447 | for is the Devill capable of any materiall fire? |

A67780 | But with what comforts doth the Lord supply our losses? |
A67780 | But ● hat if God findes it meet? |
A67780 | For the Law of God, and the Law of Nature forbids it; and doth not the Law of Nations also? |

A67780 | If Iudas will fell his Master for thirty pence, what would he not have done for the Treasury? |

A67780 | O Adam take heed what thou dost? |
A67780 | O gentle Cato, how happy art thou to have been such an one? |
A67780 | Shall we receive good at the ● ● nd of God, and not evill? |

A67780 | or had we not more cause to be fill''d with joy and thank ● fulness, that we our selves are in better case? |
A67780 | or if a Mastiff had bitten me, would you have me go to Law with him? |

A53715 | 2. is the Case proposed that we have in hand; How shall we that are dead unto sin live any longer therein? |
A53715 | 6.68, thou must be relieved and saved this way or none; to whom wilt thou goe? |
A53715 | 8? |
A53715 | A new Sin may be permitted, as well as a new Affliction sent to bring an Old sin to remembrance? |
A53715 | And can I keep my self out of the Dust? |
A53715 | And if the Case be so sad with them who do labour and strive, and yet enter not into the Kingdom; what is their Condition who despise all this? |
A53715 | And in this case of indwelling Sin, and the power of it, what Frame doth he express himself to be in? |
A53715 | And in what state doth the Prophet Habakkuk affirm himself to be cast, upon the apprehension of the Majesty of God? |
A53715 | And our Saviour tells us what is to be done in this case; sayes he, Do men gather Grapes from Thorns? |
A53715 | And wherein did his folly appear? |
A53715 | Are the the things of the Soul of less importance? |
A53715 | Are they not still in the Gall of bitterness? |
A53715 | As to its Rise, it is built purely upon the Testimony of him whom we have not seen; as the Apostle speaks, How can ye love him whom you have not seen? |
A53715 | But how shall a man know whether there be any thing of Gods chastening hand, in his being left to the disquietment of his distemper? |
A53715 | But how? |
A53715 | But suppose a Thorn be well pruned and cut, and have pains taken with him? |
A53715 | But thou wilt say, what ground have I to build such an Expectation upon; so that I may expect not to be deceived? |
A53715 | But why had they not peace? |
A53715 | But you will say, Is not this to perswade men to unbelief? |
A53715 | But you will say, We are where we were; when God syeaks it, we must receive it; that is true, but how shall we know when he speaks? |
A53715 | C ● nst thou look without terrour into the Abyss of Eternity? |
A53715 | Can a sadder thing befall thee? |
A53715 | Can sin be killed without an interest in the Death of Christ, or Mortified without the Spirit? |
A53715 | Canst thou complain if it be no otherwise with thee than it was with Heman, that eminent servant of God? |
A53715 | Clearly, perfectly? |
A53715 | Did the sufferings and Temptations of Christ adde to his ability and power? |
A53715 | Do they find a conquest over it? |
A53715 | Doe I account Communion with him of so little value, that for this vile Lusts sake I have scarce left him any room in my Heart? |
A53715 | Doe I thus requite the Lord? |
A53715 | Does he bid them go and mortifie their pride, wrath, malice, cruelty, and the like? |
A53715 | Dost thou think he will ease thee of that which perplexeth Thee, that thou mayst be at liberty to that which no less grieves Him? |
A53715 | God forbid, how shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? |
A53715 | Hadst thou been negligent in Duties? |
A53715 | Hast thou not found thy self engaged in such Wayes, Societies, Companies, and that with delight, as God abhorres? |
A53715 | Hast thou received any eminent Mercy, Protection, Deliverance, which thou diddest not improve in a due Manner, nor wast thankfull for? |
A53715 | Have I defiled the Heart that Christ dyed to wash; that the Blessed Spirit hath chosen to dwell in? |
A53715 | Have I obtained a view of Gods Fatherly Countenance, that I might behold his face, and provoke him to his face? |
A53715 | How doth he doe it? |
A53715 | How doth the Spirit mortifie Sin? |
A53715 | How immense is he in his Nature? |
A53715 | How is that? |
A53715 | How little a portion is it? |
A53715 | How often doth he complain that his bones were broken, his Soul disquieted, his wounds grievous on this account? |
A53715 | How shall I escape, if I neglect so great Salvation? |
A53715 | How shall I hold up my head with any boldness before him? |
A53715 | How shall he then mortifie Sin, that hath not the Spirit? |
A53715 | How shall we do it, who( as he afterwards describes it,) have received Grace from Christ to the contrary? |
A53715 | I will leave them, hide my Face, and what will become of their peace and strength? |
A53715 | If this be the work of the Spirit alone, how is it, that we are exhorted to it? |
A53715 | If we have not some strength to walk with him? |
A53715 | In the mean time, what shall I say to the Lord? |
A53715 | Is it not a little one? |
A53715 | Is it not from the Spirit? |
A53715 | Is it nothing that he should punish, ruine, and undoe others for thy sake? |
A53715 | Is not our understanding brutish in the Contemplation of such things? |
A53715 | Is not this to put men to make Brick, if not without straw,( which is worse,) without strength? |
A53715 | Is their Condition changed, though they attain a Relinquishment of it? |
A53715 | Is their sin at all mortified hereby? |
A53715 | Is this the Return I make to the Father for his Love, to the Son for his Blood, to the Holy Ghost for his Grace? |
A53715 | Know you not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his Death? |
A53715 | Now how is he attained? |
A53715 | Or Vncleanness to defile thy Heart, with vain, and foolish, and wicked Imaginations, for many dayes? |
A53715 | Or strength whilest he smites? |
A53715 | Ought not all our expectations to this purpose to be on Christ alone? |
A53715 | Say to thy Soul; What have I done? |
A53715 | Shall I daily grieve that Spirit whereby I am sealed to the day of Redemption? |
A53715 | Shall I endeavour to disappoint the End of the Death of Christ? |
A53715 | Shall they cease striving against sin, live dissolutely, give their Lusts their swinge, and be as bad as the worst of men? |
A53715 | Sin will grow a light thing to thee; thou wilt pass by it as a thing of nought; This it will grow to, and what will be the End of such a Condition? |
A53715 | Sin, saith he, is crucified; it is fastned to the Cross; to what End? |
A53715 | So did Joseph, How shall I doe this great evil( saith he) and sin against the Lord, my good and gracious God? |
A53715 | They have followed after Mortification, but they have not Attained to it; Wherefore? |
A53715 | They that are Christ''s have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts: But how? |
A53715 | Thou settest thy self with all diligence and earnestness to mortifie such a Lust or Sin; what is the Reason of it? |
A53715 | Was it not a Correction to Peters vain Confidence, that he was left to deny his Master? |
A53715 | Was my Soul washed, that room might be made for new Defilements? |
A53715 | We have in Baptisme an Evidence of our Implantation into Christ; we are baptized into him; But what of him are we baptized into an Interest in? |
A53715 | We have( I say) words and notions about these things, but as to the things themselves, what do we know? |
A53715 | What Promise hath any unregenerate man to countenance him in this work? |
A53715 | What assistance for the performance of it? |
A53715 | What can I say to the dear Lord Jesus? |
A53715 | What do we comprehend of them? |
A53715 | What do ● t thou know of God? |
A53715 | What doth Peter direct them to? |
A53715 | What good will our Lives do us, if we see not the face of God sometimes in peace? |
A53715 | What is his Name, and what is his Sons Name if thou canst tell? |
A53715 | What is to be expected from such an Heart? |
A53715 | What peace I pray is there to a Soul while God hides himself? |
A53715 | What shall we say then? |
A53715 | Whence is the power, life and vigour of Prayer? |
A53715 | Whence its Efficacy to prevail with God? |
A53715 | Whence then do we expect the Spirit? |
A53715 | Who can declare the Generation of the Son, the procession of the Spirit, or the difference of the one from the other? |
A53715 | Who hath ascended up into Heaven, or descended? |
A53715 | Who hath bound the Waters in a Garment? |
A53715 | Who hath established the Ends of the Earth? |
A53715 | Who hath gathered the Wind in his fists? |
A53715 | Who hath promised him to us, having procured him for us? |
A53715 | Who is it that hath walked up to the Knowledge that he hath had of the Perfections, Excellencies, and Will of God? |
A53715 | Who may assume it to himself? |
A53715 | Who should mortifie? |
A53715 | Whom speaks he to? |
A53715 | Why sayest thou O my soul my way is hid from the Lord and my Judgment is passed over from my God? |
A53715 | Why, because in their Address to God they flattered him: But how doth that appear? |
A53715 | Yea, but what if these are in us, and do abound, may not the other abound also? |
A53715 | You will say, What then would you have unregenerate men, that are convinced of the Evil of sin do? |
A53715 | You will say, what are these dangerous Marks and symptoms, the desperate Attendances of an indwelling Lust that you intend? |
A53715 | and cryed out what shall we doe? |
A53715 | and is not the Gospel End of their Convictions lost thereby? |
A53715 | and shall we daily grieve Him? |
A53715 | and wilt thou venture any more to the brink of Hardness? |
A53715 | but who shall have the comfort of this Assertion? |
A53715 | from whom do we look for him? |
A53715 | hadst thou lived inordinately to thy self? |
A53715 | is there the guilt of any great sin lying upon thee unrepented of? |
A53715 | is this all? |
A53715 | or hast been exercised with any Affliction, without labouring for the appointed End of it? |
A53715 | or hast thou been wanting to the Opportunities of glorifying God in thy Generation, which in his good Providence he had graciously afforded unto thee? |
A53715 | or hast thou conformed thy self unto the World and the men of it, through the abounding of Temptations in the dayes wherein thou livest? |

A67782 | Dost thou not rejoyce when the righteous are exalted, and grieve when the wicked bear rule? |
A67782 | FOurthly and lastly, these things being so; how doth it concern all, to see that they are Believers? |
A67782 | First, are the joyes of Heaven so unspeakable and glorious? |
A67782 | Heaven shall receive us, we can not conceive Heaven: Do you ask me what Heaven is saith one? |
A67782 | How does the assurance of the pardon of sinne alone, clear and calm all storms of the mind? |
A67782 | How would it charm their mouthes, apale their spirits, strike fear and astonishment into their hearts? |
A67782 | If he shut his ear against their prayers calling to him for pardon, that stopt their ears against hi ● Voice calling upon them for repentance? |
A67782 | If the Air be generally infectious, had we not need to be so much the more strict in our Diet, and carefull in the use of wholesome preservatives? |
A67782 | Is it not grievous to thee to hear God blasphemed, and dishonoured? |
A67782 | Is not Christ thy greatest joy, sin thy greatest sorrow, and grace the prime object of thy desires? |
A67782 | Lazarus was for a time extream miserable; what then? |
A67782 | No sayes he, why shovld I vex my self, because another hath vexed me? |
A67782 | Now what heart would not bleed to see men runne headlong into these tortures, that are thus intollerable? |
A67782 | Or why should I do my self a shrewd turn, because another would? |
A67782 | Secondly, who would not serve a short apprentiship, in Gods service here? |
A67782 | That he will give his heavenly and spirituall graces at the hour of death, to those who have contemned them all their life? |
A67782 | Thirdly, How is it possible? |
A67782 | What a mad conceit were this? |
A67782 | Whatever thou enjoyest on this side Hell, dost thou not think thy self unworthy of it? |
A67782 | When Pilate asked, What shall be done with Iesus? |
A67782 | When thou dost any thing amisse dost thou not accuse thy self? |
A67782 | Whether he finds not his joy to be like the joy of Harvest? |
A67782 | Wouldest thou be loosed from the chains of thy sins, and delivered from the chains of plagues? |
A67782 | Wouldest thou have the same Christ, with his precious Blood to free thee, that shall with his Word sentence others? |
A67782 | Wouldest thou have thy very poysons turned into cordials? |
A67782 | Wouldest thou then have it fare so with thee? |
A67782 | Yea what pain can we think too much to suffer? |
A67782 | Yea, is it not most just and equall if God will not be found of those that were content to lose him? |
A67782 | Yea, who would not be a Philpot for a moneth, or a Lazarus for a day, or a Stephen for an hour; that he might be in Abrahams bosome for ever? |
A67782 | and holy City? |
A67782 | and shall not God much mor ●, who is both the Father of mercies, and the Authour of mercy and compassion in others? |
A67782 | and thy greatest evils made beneficial unto thee? |
A67782 | he should dote upon these transitory things below; that but seriously thinks upon what is reserved for us in Heaven? |
A67782 | how glorious then is the Creator himself? |
A67782 | if any thing well, dost thou not give all the praise to God? |
A67782 | so if the worst of a Believers life in this world be so sweet; how sweet shall his life be in that Heavenly Ierusalem? |
A67782 | thy terrours, changed into pleasures? |
A67782 | what little enough to do? |
A67782 | ● o 24. yea, what Father or Master will not from his young and newly weaned Child, or sick and weak servant, accept of the will for the deed? |
A12210 | A Christian indeed undergoes more trouble and paines( especially with his own heart) than others do, but what is that to his gaines? |
A12210 | A man that sees his conscience awakened without this anointing, what is he? |
A12210 | A seale continues with the thing, but the joy of the Spirit comes after the work of the Spirit, and abides not with us? |
A12210 | Afflictions serve for this very end, to make us more prize God,& deny the creature with all its excellencies: are our crosses great here? |
A12210 | Againe, doth God order all for the best, to them that love him? |
A12210 | Againe, is there any thing more comfortable then that we give content to God? |
A12210 | Againe, is there any thing more worthy our soules, than to be united to God? |
A12210 | Alas say they, I had as good take this pleasure as have none at all: what shall become of me hereafter, who knowes? |
A12210 | Alas what can we have from God, but by the manifestation of hiis own good will? |
A12210 | Am I not under the hand of my God, working my good out of every evill? |
A12210 | And are they certainly true, Yea and Amen in him? |
A12210 | And can wee admire any thing with wisdome but God alone? |
A12210 | And if God be on our side, who can bee against us? |
A12210 | And if God turne all things whatsoever to our good, should not wee through the whole carriage of our lives, chiefly aime at his honour? |
A12210 | And shall others that succeed after say, what ever it was then, now it is thus: and must we beleeve all? |
A12210 | And shall we then in our distresses dist rust God for our souls, when we will trust a weak and mortall man with our bodies? |
A12210 | And that he who knew no sin, should be made sinne for us? |
A12210 | And what is faith, but a building on the promise of God? |
A12210 | And why to them that love God? |
A12210 | And would not Peter have bin glad, that hee had never denied his Master? |
A12210 | Another Evill arising from the guiltinesse of sin, is anguish of mind, and a wounded spirit, which( saith Salomon) who can beare? |
A12210 | Another signe is, To examine what desire wee have to be dissolved, and to be with Christ: Doe wee love his appearing to judgement? |
A12210 | Are all the Promises of what kind soever, whether spirituall and outward, temporall or eternall, are they all made to us in Jesus Christ? |
A12210 | Are there not many ● hat heare the Word, and know Gods mind, who yet profit nothing to amendment of life? |
A12210 | As a branch out of the root; what sap is there is such a thing? |
A12210 | As it was said of Christ when he stilled the Seas, Who is this that the very wind and Seas obey him? |
A12210 | Before wee are anointed with the Spirit of Christ, with stablishing grace, what are we but a company of nasty abominable persons in the eyes of God? |
A12210 | Besides, how can a man suffer willingly, that knowes not that God hath begun any good work in him? |
A12210 | But here the maine question will be, and the difficulty arises, how all ill things can work together for the best to Gods children? |
A12210 | But how doth God establish us by faith? |
A12210 | But how shall I know whether I doe esteeme rightly of God or no? |
A12210 | But how shall we know that we have the Spirit? |
A12210 | But if all things( yea sin it selfe) shall turne to the best to those that love God, what need we then care for the committing of sinne? |
A12210 | But let a man stagger and doubt whether hee belong to God or no, what a miserable case will he be in at the time of dissolution? |
A12210 | But what is a Promise? |
A12210 | But what needs confirmation when we beleeve? |
A12210 | But what of that? |
A12210 | But why doth the Spirit thus establish and seale us, and conveigh grace to our soules? |
A12210 | But why the Spirit rather than the Father or the Sonne? |
A12210 | But you will say, How can that be a seale? |
A12210 | But you will say, doth not God doe many good things to them that are out of Christ? |
A12210 | But you will say, what shall I account of my self, if there bee but a little signe of grace in me? |
A12210 | Can any thing hurt us, when hee is become our loving Father? |
A12210 | Can any thing satisfie us more than God? |
A12210 | Can we have a greater happinesse than to be made one with Christ? |
A12210 | Can we say wee love such a man when we care not for his company? |
A12210 | Can wee spend our labours to better purpose? |
A12210 | Christ seemes to insinuate as much, saying, What can I give you better than the Holy Ghost? |
A12210 | Compare him with a man that hath present things only, with an Esau that abounds with worldly goods, and how great is the difference? |
A12210 | David having beene thorowly humbled for sinne, when Shimei his subject cursed him to his face, how patiently did hee beare the same? |
A12210 | Death( with the eternity of torment after it) who can looke it in the face without the assurance of a happy change? |
A12210 | Didst thou belong to Christ, would ever these crosses,& losses, and miseries have befallen thee? |
A12210 | Do not many spin a fine thred, and weave a faire web, when by their turnings and devices they turne themselves into hell? |
A12210 | Doe wee delight to speak much and often of Christ, and the benefits we receive by him? |
A12210 | Doth God love mee, doth hee doe good to my soule for my owne sake( abstracted from his Sonne?) |
A12210 | Doth not he love us first of all? |
A12210 | Doth not hee know better what is good for us, than we can possibly imagine what is good for our selves? |
A12210 | Doth the truth vary according to mens judgements? |
A12210 | For what are we made for, think you? |
A12210 | For when the conscience of a guilty person is affrighted, what man can allay its feares? |
A12210 | Fourthly, an ointment hath another property, it consecrates persons to holy uses? |
A12210 | God had alwayes sealed ones, marked out for himselfe, whom he preserved from the danger of dark times; why then should wee be afraid of evill tidings? |
A12210 | Hamans honor, what good did it to him, but only brought him to greater shame? |
A12210 | Have wee not much to do and suffer in this life? |
A12210 | He doth indeed, it can not bee denied; but are they blessings? |
A12210 | He promiseth ease and refreshment, but to whom? |
A12210 | How are we in Christ? |
A12210 | How can that rest quiet in any thing, but in what it is assured comes from God? |
A12210 | How can the Conscience be satisfied? |
A12210 | How can the gates of hell prevaile against the faith of a true beleever, when it is carried to the promise, and from the promise to Gods love? |
A12210 | How comfortably will the soule commend it self to Christ, when it finds it selfe stamped with the Spirit of Christ? |
A12210 | How commeth it to passe, that death which is fearefull in it selfe, can not hurt us? |
A12210 | How darest thou think of God who is a Consuming fire? |
A12210 | How doth Heaven differ from Earth? |
A12210 | How doth that appeare? |
A12210 | How is it possible that we should give him the glory of his mercies, if we never observe them? |
A12210 | How is it that all this sorrow and misery hath befallen mee, and lieth so heavie upon my soule? |
A12210 | How is that done? |
A12210 | How lumpish and dead is he under the crosse without this assurance? |
A12210 | How many friends have we in him alone? |
A12210 | How may a man know that hee hath a soule? |
A12210 | How may a man obtaine this blessed guest to lodge in his soule and rule over him? |
A12210 | How ought this to stay the soule under all its heavie pressures? |
A12210 | How shall a man know whether God hath a part in him? |
A12210 | How shall wee know that a man hath establishing grace? |
A12210 | How shall wee know that there is such a spirituall sealing in us? |
A12210 | How should wee be overwhelmed with despaire, did not the Spirit support us? |
A12210 | I shall therefore demonstrate, 1 The truth of this, how it can be so? |
A12210 | If God justifie us, who shall condemne us? |
A12210 | If Luther had had no infirmities, how would men have attributed to him above measure? |
A12210 | If the Promises layd hold on by faith, quicken and cheare the soule, what shall the accomplishment of them doe? |
A12210 | If we have not something above nature, how is it possible wee should hold out in great trials? |
A12210 | In the times of martyrdome, there was fire and faggot, and the frownes of bloudy men; but who were the persons suffering? |
A12210 | Is Gods glory and the Churches welfare deare to us? |
A12210 | Is any service comparable to the service of a Prince? |
A12210 | Is it not a wounded spirit? |
A12210 | Is it not because they rest upon the skill of the Physitian? |
A12210 | Is it not for that they were so formerly stung with the sight and feeling of their sinnes? |
A12210 | Is it not the errand of all Gods mercies to bring us neerer to him selfe? |
A12210 | Is it possible that the love of God and the love of sinne shold ever stand together? |
A12210 | Is not faith confirmation enough? |
A12210 | Is not his love full and overflowing? |
A12210 | Is not right, right? |
A12210 | Is not the Law the Law? |
A12210 | Is not the Word of Christ a word that alters not, but remaines stedfast to all eternity? |
A12210 | Is there any thing that may or ought to challenge our love but Christ? |
A12210 | Know wee not that all things here shall perish? |
A12210 | Love is communicative; and what desire of communion can that soule have, that lives a stranger to his Maker? |
A12210 | May we look for favour from God for any thing in our selves? |
A12210 | Now therefore what kind of Good is this the Apostle meaneth? |
A12210 | Now upon this blessed contract made in Christ to his Church; what followeth? |
A12210 | Now what love can there be in God to us( since the fall,) which must not be grounded on a better foundation than our selves? |
A12210 | Oh saith he, the Holy Ghost hath sealed me up to the day of redemption, shall I grieve and quench the same for this base lust? |
A12210 | On the contrary, if a man have not something above nature in him, when death& judgement comes, how miserable is his condition? |
A12210 | Pharaohs tenne Plagues( which might have humbled his soule) made him but worse and worse: therfore saith God, Why should I smite you any more? |
A12210 | Put the case the stamp of the Prince be an old Coyne, is it not currant though it bee crackt? |
A12210 | Put the case we can not shew the men as they rediculously urge; what is that to the purpose? |
A12210 | Received ye the Spirit, by the hearing of the Law, or of faith preached? |
A12210 | Sathan and all his instruments, what get they by their cruelty to the Saints? |
A12210 | Shall present men interpret it thus, and say, it is so now? |
A12210 | Shall the judgement of any man, be the rule of Gods unerring truth? |
A12210 | So likewise for the Holy Ghost; what heavenly attributes are ascribed to him in the Scriptures? |
A12210 | So that if thou dost outwardly only confesse God, what dost thou more than the Devill? |
A12210 | The reason is this, how can poore dust and ashes dare to challenge any thing of the great Majesty of Heaven, without a warrant from himselfe? |
A12210 | The second use for instruction is this; If such excellent and eminent Saints by sinne have fallen grievously? |
A12210 | Therefore labour for certainty of knowledge, that thou maist have a certainty of faith: What is the reason our faith is weak? |
A12210 | Therefore when wee place our love and joy in the world, do we not lose them too? |
A12210 | This wound in spirit breedeth afterwards a sound spirit; Repentance is good,& Faith in Christ is good; But what doth prepare us to these happy graces? |
A12210 | Those that live in sinnes against conscience, think we that these love God? |
A12210 | Those therefore that goe on from day to day, without private speeches with God, or solacing of their soules in him, what affection have they to him? |
A12210 | To live here only? |
A12210 | Upon what unchangeable grounds is the love of God and the faith of a Christian builded? |
A12210 | Wee shal know it by our choice, and our choice followes our judgement: Would wee know whether our judgement be good? |
A12210 | What Prison can shut up the Spirit of God? |
A12210 | What a King is this, that even the most terrible things are at his command and work for the best unto him? |
A12210 | What a blessed estate is it to be in Christ? |
A12210 | What a comfort is this, that wee may goe to God in Christ, and claime the Promises boldly? |
A12210 | What a comfort is this? |
A12210 | What a miserable perplexity must such a soule needs be in? |
A12210 | What a wondrous comfort is this, that God hath put himselfe over to be ours? |
A12210 | What are all friends in the world to the Holy Ghost? |
A12210 | What are our souls without Gods anointing? |
A12210 | What are the vertues of this oyntment? |
A12210 | What are those graces which wee receive from Christs fulnesse? |
A12210 | What became of Dives his riches? |
A12210 | What comforts so great as those that are fetched from the Fountaine? |
A12210 | What friend will bee content, that a man should only love him because he doth him good? |
A12210 | What greater unkindnesse can a man doe his friend, than to slight his loving direction, and embrace the counsell of a professed ene mie? |
A12210 | What is Hope, but the expectation of those things that the word saith? |
A12210 | What is a man out of Christ? |
A12210 | What is that stamp, that the Spirit seales us withall? |
A12210 | What is the manner of our sealing by the spirit? |
A12210 | What is the reason that Christians are so daunted and flie off in time of danger? |
A12210 | What is the reason that many proud hearted persons are damned? |
A12210 | What makes a man differ from himself and frō other men, but this? |
A12210 | What need we feare any creature, when wee have him on our side, who hath both Men and Devils at his beck? |
A12210 | What shall we doe? |
A12210 | What? |
A12210 | Whatsoever his estate and condition was, God turned it to the best: shall any man dare to mislike of Gods allowlowance? |
A12210 | When David was in his greatest distresses; what desires had he then most in him? |
A12210 | When a man carries about him the marke of the Spirit, what in the world can discourage such a soule? |
A12210 | When we venture upon any thing against conscience, is there not a decay of our love to God? |
A12210 | Whether is the spirit it selfe this seale, or the work of the spirit, and the graces thereof wrought in us? |
A12210 | Whether tend all the troubles we meet with in this world? |
A12210 | Why are the Angels attendants on us? |
A12210 | Why do men in time of dangerous sicknesse take bitter Physick, which is almost death unto them? |
A12210 | Why doe they then undergo such things as they loath at other times? |
A12210 | Why is it called here an annointing? |
A12210 | Why is it thus with thee, why art thou dejected in this manner? |
A12210 | Why should not I be patient in sicknesse, in poverty, in dis graces, or why should I despaire at the houre of death? |
A12210 | Why, saith the Apostle, bee it so? |
A12210 | Will not God really and truly vouchsafe unto his people this earnest of the Spirit in their hearts? |
A12210 | and are wee now fit for his comming? |
A12210 | and prevent us with his favours? |
A12210 | and what is it that makes us constant in duty,& carries us through so many oppositions as we meet withall, is it not love? |
A12210 | and where were the foundation of faith? |
A12210 | and wherefore doth hee still make intercession for us in Heaven? |
A12210 | are these favours to them? |
A12210 | can there be more sweetnesse in the streame, than in the spring? |
A12210 | did not his abuse thereof plunge him deeper into hell? |
A12210 | doth he not cloath, and feed, and protect wicked men daily? |
A12210 | doth not the Sunne shine, and the raine fall, upon the just and the unjust, upon the evill, as well as the good? |
A12210 | his greatnesse made him swell in pride, and his pride had a suddaine fall: What became of Herods high mind in taking to himselfe the glory of God? |
A12210 | how hardly is corrupt selfe brought under? |
A12210 | how then much more are we poore weak soules subject to fall, if wee neglect watchfulnesse over our selves? |
A12210 | must we bring the strait Rule to the crooked Timber for to be measured? |
A12210 | nay, become a curse to free us from the curse? |
A12210 | no certainly; can we desire a more ample testimony of his favour, than he hath already bestowed upon us? |
A12210 | or if thou canst not pray with distinct words, canst thou mourne and groane? |
A12210 | shall wee despaire then? |
A12210 | so vilified, so persecuted? |
A12210 | that we should not doubt of his love, but rest securely upon him: why then doe we distrust the Almighty, who is truth it selfe, and never failed any? |
A12210 | that wee should doubt of Gods love? |
A12210 | they doe but encrease their own torment, and doe them the more good? |
A12210 | was it not this, that they were not fitted and prepared for God? |
A12210 | whatsoever is besides God, is but a creature, and can the creature be other than changeable? |
A12210 | when a man may know by a private reflect act of the soule, that he is in the state of grace? |
A12210 | wherefore did he die and rise againe? |
A12210 | which when foolish people ascribed it to him, was hee not presently smitten, so as the wormes consumed him, and hee dyed a lothsome death? |
A12210 | why doth that doe all? |
A12210 | why, hee longed after the House of God: when the people were ready to stone him, wherein did he trust, but in the Lord his strong ● ower? |

A57346 | 7, 8, 9? |
A57346 | 9? |
A57346 | A despised Inferiour, to stand or fall, to come or goe at your pleasure, taken in, cast out, used a little, and then laid aside? |
A57346 | Ah, What a Curse is this, to become Panders, and Devils, to draw themselves and others into Hell more securely? |
A57346 | Ah, What is Man without Divine Grace? |
A57346 | And how sad is it afterwards( in stead of Ingenuity to acknowledge) to Prostitute their Gifts and Parts to make Defences for their Enormities? |
A57346 | And if thou art no part of the Body, How darest thou make Challenge to the Head, by miscalling thy self a Christian? |
A57346 | And is not this a sign of God''s Curse, impending over their Families, in respect of Long Life? |
A57346 | And there were four Leprous Men at the entring in at the Gate, and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we dye,& c? |
A57346 | And what comfort in the Having, or in Using of these Temporals, without the Grace and Blessing of God? |
A57346 | And what comfort to Feast and Surfet thereby? |
A57346 | And what do you mean by Wicked Houses? |
A57346 | And what may we think of Parties and Sectaries, Are they not greater Enemies to the Church then profane Families? |
A57346 | And what more vain and carnal in these Opinionative times? |
A57346 | And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? |
A57346 | And will you be cruel to the Souls of your Families, because Ministers are sent of God, to Preach Faith and Repentance, Mercy and Forgiveness to you? |
A57346 | Are not Ahabs and Jezebels sins upon the File of Reproach? |
A57346 | Are not Children the divided pieces of your selves? |
A57346 | Are not these the notorious Enemies to Christianity, whose Life is a Flat Contradiction to their Baptism? |
A57346 | Are they not Enemies to the Church, as well as to themselves, who willfully and wickedly Excommunicate themselves from God''s Ordinances? |
A57346 | Are they not the scandal and shame of Christianity? |
A57346 | Are you Friends to the Church? |
A57346 | But is this all? |
A57346 | But is this the worst of their misery? |
A57346 | But what little good hath this Wicked Rich Man done to Church or State, to Strangers or Relations, or to his own Family, where Cbarity should begin? |
A57346 | But where are the Fruits? |
A57346 | Can it end with time, can Death and the Grave put an end to it? |
A57346 | Can that Man or Family have the Blessing of God upon them and theirs, which bow down to the Gods of Silver and Gold? |
A57346 | Can we say properly that such as these are Christians? |
A57346 | Doe they not hereby, recommend those sins to be committed by their children, which they, by reason of their Impotency, can not commit? |
A57346 | For if they be for Real Membership with the Church of Christ, why do they not hold fast their Christian Profession in Publick? |
A57346 | Friends? |
A57346 | How can such Men and Women as these be in God''s Favour? |
A57346 | How few Christians keep Holy the Lords Day, after Service in the Publick Assembly? |
A57346 | How few Families in Cities, Towns, or Villages do make any better Account of the Lords Day, then Almanack Holy Days? |
A57346 | How great is thy Stain, and Stench left behind thee? |
A57346 | How many Halts do some Make, when they should Goe to the Church, to Sanctify the Lord''s- Day in their Conscionable Attendance upon God''s Ordinances? |
A57346 | How many give the First Fruits of their Youth to Vanity and Wildness? |

A57346 | Is not Sin allways with us, and diffuseth it self into all places where we live? |
A57346 | Is not Sin the Plague of the Heart? |

A57346 | Parts and Endowments? |
A57346 | Quibusannis potest saturariaeternitas, cui nullus est finis? |
A57346 | The truth is, Wicked Men do not use Riches, but their Riches use them: And how? |
A57346 | Think upon it, and tell me what is Dear to your own Persons; Is it any, or all of these particulars that I shall speak of? |

A57346 | Will not this word[ Eternity] pierce the hardest heart? |
A57346 | Will you be careless and secure because your Minister is commanded to watch for your Souls? |
A57346 | Will you be obstinate and impenitent, because your Good Minister, nay, your Blessed Lord and Saviour, is Tender and Compassionate? |
A57346 | Will you harden your Hearts, and stand it out, because God by his Ministers, is praying you in Christs stead to be reconciled to God? |

A57346 | that Wickedness should Survive in thy Posterity, when thou art turned to Dust, and that it should be alive in thy House, and in Hell too? |
A85498 | And hath the Market- bell rung indeed( quoth he?) |
A85498 | And shall the Child of God forget that he hath a Father in Heaven, who is infinitely more able and willing to doe the like for him? |
A85498 | And what( saith Saint Hierom) think we, may be the reason hereof? |
A85498 | And who knoweth not, that Ships doe oftentimes miscarry upon sands, as well as upon rock ●? |
A85498 | And yet for all this, how many be there, that can not, or will not learn this lesson? |
A85498 | But suppose man were( as the name signifieth) Ghe ● er indeed, great, and power ● ull; is he sure so to continue? |
A85498 | But when all is said( saith he) Can any man say the like of his death? |
A85498 | Doe you understand what I say? |
A85498 | For why? |
A85498 | Fortè morietur, fortè non morietur; Perhaps he shall dye, perhaps he shall not dye? |
A85498 | Qualis( malum) Deus iste est, qui tam impuros ex se filios,& sceleratos genuit? |
A85498 | Quid sunt Christiani,& c? |
A85498 | THis Saint Austin illustrates thus: Behold( saith he) the foot treadeth on a thorn, and see how all the members condole it? |
A85498 | WAs it, think you( saith Saint Austin) because the Devill is mercifull? |
A85498 | WHen we see a father holding a little child in his arms, is the child( think we) safe by his own, or by the fathers hold? |
A85498 | What are Christians? |
A85498 | Who can be like God? |
A85498 | Who may resist the people of Syria? |
A85498 | Yea, and when he heard of his death, did ever father so take on for the death of a child, as he did? |
A85461 | Add further; what is your faith, your prayers, and righteousnesse, are not these earthly and carnall, as held and practised by you? |
A85461 | And here we propound a question, whether one Law of God be not of like weight as another? |
A85461 | And whereas it is said, Is any sick among you? |
A85461 | As if hee should say, hath the Gospel and word of the Kingdome made spoyl and prize of all things among you, or in you? |
A85461 | But For what is it heaped together? |
A85461 | But what saith our Apostle of all these things? |
A85461 | Can you set a price and rate of so mean a thing, and doth God take care for the preservation of it? |
A85461 | Can you tell what use to put them unto in your professed world to come? |
A85461 | Doth not Timothy save himselfe and them that hear him by preaching sound doctrine? |
A85461 | FOr the first, namely the proposition, If any be sick among you? |
A85461 | For he made but one; speaking of that state of Christ( with an elegant allusion unto the high Priest) and wherefore but one? |
A85461 | For what? |
A85461 | Of what esteem, price, and respect then is the state of a Christian? |
A85461 | Poor heart that thou art( with respect unto the world) canst thou pray? |
A85461 | The law is fully satisfied, from what ground then shall any accuse? |
A85461 | Therefore our Apostle puts us upon this question; Is any among you afflicted? |
A85461 | Was ever the like Conquest made, as to overcome omnipotency? |
A85461 | Who is the man, but when the the suffering and the sufferer seem both to be removed out of the world, will not seem to approve of the work? |
A85461 | and are not we saved by hope? |
A85461 | and who are my brethren? |
A85461 | for it the spirit of grace and supplication, whereof prayer doth consist, yea it is the Son of God who is justified? |
A85461 | hath not God made the wisdome of this world foolishness? |
A85461 | of how much more worth are ye then many sparrows? |
A85461 | or as the word may be read, is any sick in you? |
A85461 | or were you baptized into the name of Paul? |
A85461 | that is, it is God that acquits and makes righteous, who then can make guilty and sinfull? |
A85461 | to keep in temporance, chastity, gravity, and moderation in all things? |
A85461 | to preserve in peace? |
A85461 | was Paul crucified for you? |
A85461 | where is the disputer of this world, but seeks to uphold and honour himselfe by them? |
A85461 | where is the disputer of this world? |
A85461 | where is the scribe? |
A85461 | where is the scribe? |
A85461 | who then shal lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen, that holy one of God? |
A87093 | A Christian but to Christ who hath delivered him from the slavery and captivity of sin? |
A87093 | A slave but to him that bought him? |
A87093 | And may not Christ take up the same complaint of us? |
A87093 | And now my brethren, would you on the one hand ▪ see the reason why you are so fearfull of death? |
A87093 | Art not thou nourished by food, and refreshed by sleep as we are? |
A87093 | But what a folly, nay madnesse is it, for men to expect to reap what they doe not sow? |
A87093 | But, is he thy friend, and dost thou envy him his happiness? |
A87093 | But, my brethren, which of us can excuse our selves from living to some one or other of these lusts? |
A87093 | Did ever childe cry when his Fathers man came to fetch him home? |
A87093 | Doth not the ambitious man say, To me to live is honour? |
A87093 | He is thy friend, and death is his benefit: and shall the benefit of another, especially of thy friend, be thy sorrow? |
A87093 | How truly might our blessed Saviour say, whilest on earth; yea, now he is in heaven, To me to live is man? |
A87093 | Indeed, Christ is the Christians All in all estares ▪ as David said concerning God, Whom have I in heaven but thee? |
A87093 | Indeed, what was there from first to last which had not a reference to us? |
A87093 | Indeed, when we see one falling in his full strength, snatched away in the prime of his dayes, have we not reason to watch? |
A87093 | Let the gain of death moderate our sorrow for our friends who sleep in Iesus: Why should we be troubled for them who are at rest? |
A87093 | Let us say in this, Lord, to whom should we live? |
A87093 | The covetous, To me to live is wealth? |
A87093 | The envious, To me to live is revenge? |
A87093 | The voluptuous, To me to live is pleasure? |
A87093 | This life, what is it but a going to death? |
A87093 | Thou wilt say perhaps, It is my friend, my dearly beloved friend who is dead, and can I choose but mourn? |
A87093 | What is it we are to publish but the Gospel of Christ? |
A87093 | Whom should a captive live to, but him that ransomed him? |
A87093 | Why are we clad in black for them who walk in white? |
A87093 | and death, what is it but a going to life? |
A87093 | and so many tears flow from our eyes for them who have all tears wiped from theirs? |
A87093 | and there is none on earth I desire in comparison of thee: so saith a Christian in this case concerning Christ, Whom have I in death but thee? |
A87093 | by death we gain glory, and shall we not glory over death? |
A87093 | dost thou dearly love him, and yet grieve at his welfare? |
A87093 | for our earthly comforts to be taken from us, when heavenly joyes are conferred on us? |
A87093 | for the standing- pools to be dry so long as we may drink at the fountain? |
A87093 | if the first fruits be desirable, what is the full crop? |
A87093 | if we should not live to Christ, who should? |
A87093 | sit down in sorrow for them who are entred into joy? |
A87093 | to sow to the flesh, and to the world, and yet reap by Christ the gaine of everlasting life after death? |
A87093 | we are the soldiers of Jesus Christ( according to S. Pauls character of Timothy) and whose commands should we observe if not his? |
A87093 | where is the man can truly say ▪ To me to live is Christ? |
A87093 | where shall we finde him? |
A87093 | would you have comfort in, and gaine after death? |
A57248 | & c.) how much more should we be content and patient? |
A57248 | 19? |
A57248 | 2. fit to judge of its growth? |
A57248 | 20: when he putteth forth this his power which raised Christ from the dead? |
A57248 | 28. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
A57248 | 3. to 9. of whom God was found? |
A57248 | 5? |
A57248 | 7. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth the iniquitie, and passeth by the transgressions of the Remnant of his people? |
A57248 | 7? |
A57248 | A naturall man is sensible of the want of something he needs for his soule, therefore he saith; Wherewith shall I come before the Lord? |
A57248 | And if Christ be thine, shall not he disanull all thy sinnes as well as one, seeing he is able and willing? |
A57248 | And if I have no grace, why let yee me not alone, as yee doe others, and as yee did me when I tooke my fill of sin? |
A57248 | And to what end shall God give meanes sufficient to work faith and repentance in such as he hath not appointed to life? |
A57248 | And was not Paul one of the most strongest beleevers? |
A57248 | Are thy works Christ or no? |
A57248 | Are we better then they? |
A57248 | Are you sure you have used all Gods meanes, doest thou know the number of them? |
A57248 | As for God to give Christ to dye for the salvation of man, and yet decree to condemne him? |
A57248 | As soone as he saw his infirmitie, he had other thoughts of God, saying, Who is so great a God as our God? |
A57248 | Bees gather honey of bitter flowers as well as sweet, and can not we doe so from bitter conditions? |
A57248 | Behold, he found no stedfastnesse in his servants, and chargeth his Angels of folly, how much more in them that dwell in houses of clay? |
A57248 | CHrist is his Fathers chiefest choice, And I in him the very same; Why should I not in him rejoyce, Who am secured from all blame? |
A57248 | Can a woman forget her sucking childe,& c? |
A57248 | Can babes work? |
A57248 | Can reason conceive how the dead, who are eaten with beasts, or fishes, or turned into dust, can be raised to life? |
A57248 | Christ purchased no priviledge for his, which they may be as well without; is not Gods power as great as his love? |
A57248 | Doest thou apprehend thy selfe to be an enemy to God? |
A57248 | Doest thou know thy age or degree in grace? |
A57248 | Doest thou walke comfortably in thy Christian course? |
A57248 | FOr the word sufficient grace, how can we conceive that grace to be sufficient in power, which is not sufficient in performance of the worke? |
A57248 | For clothing; Take no thought for your body, what yee shall put on, Is not the body more then rayment? |
A57248 | For your heavenly Father knoweth yee have need of these things: Why take yee thought for rayment? |
A57248 | God will say, Who required this at your hands? |
A57248 | HAve you both a high esteeme of mariage, if you prize not mariage, who shall? |
A57248 | He feedeth upon ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that be can not deliver his soule, nor say; Is there not a lie in my right hand? |
A57248 | He is ignorant of the desperate wickednesse of his heart; The heart is deceitfull above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? |
A57248 | He thinkes it concerns him most, therefore it is his dutie to doe it, who else should? |
A57248 | Here is the strength of his delusion, in that he can not say, Is there not a lye in my right hand? |
A57248 | How can they that are evill speake good things? |
A57248 | How great is his goodnesse? |
A57248 | How shall they call on him on whom they have not beleeved? |
A57248 | I know men of base spirits, unbeleevers will catch at what I say, but if they doe, who can helpe it? |
A57248 | If thou hast not used them all in faith, say not, thou hast used the meanes; what are all meanes without faith? |
A57248 | If thou shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? |
A57248 | In what doest thou find peace, comfort, contentment, satisfaction in? |
A57248 | Is this the way thinkest thou to enjoy the assurance of his love, to nourish jealousies against his love? |
A57248 | Is thy hope onely in Christ? |
A57248 | It is a sin and a dishonour to a childe of God, to say or thinke he shall want, or to say, What shall I doe? |
A57248 | It makes most for the glory of God to give great things, and is it not a disparagement for a King to doe otherwise? |
A57248 | Jesus said, I am the resurrection, and the life,& whosoever beleeveth in me, shall never dye; beleevest thou this? |
A57248 | My soule thirsteth for God, when shall I come and appeare before him? |
A57248 | Nor any members of a true visiable Church? |
A57248 | Nor say, is there not a lye? |
A57248 | Now thou maist come unto the throne of grace boldly, now all is payd, it''s God that justifieth, who shall condemne? |
A57248 | Oh deare, yea most deare and precious souls, who can expresse your happinesse& glory? |
A57248 | Oh what can be more sutable, pleasant, profitable, or delightfull, better or more desireable? |
A57248 | Or is it likely or possible to reason for a man to walke upon the Sea as Pe ● er did? |
A57248 | Satan also speaks in the soule, saying, Is not this a delusion? |
A57248 | Seeing he hath freely given us his Sonne, how shall he not with him give us all things freely? |
A57248 | Shall I give my first- borne for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sinne of my soule? |
A57248 | Shall tribulation, or distresse, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sword? |
A57248 | Shouldst thou not rather say as David did, How precious are thy thoughts to me, O God? |
A57248 | Sometimes they signifie a forbidding, as, Why should the Gentiles say, where is their God? |
A57248 | Surely no; and what shall hinder me of having as much happinesse and glory in heaven, as the best Saint? |
A57248 | Tell me, what qualifications had they who were enemies? |
A57248 | The carnall mind is enmitie to God, it is not subject to the Law of God, nor can be; how then can it will, desire, and receive grace by nature? |
A57248 | The comfort of the Saints is not to depend upon their personall sanctification, and why? |
A57248 | The servant of God having fallen into sinne, is to rise by faith; for, shall a man fall, and not rise? |
A57248 | To be baptized; See here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
A57248 | Treasure up experiences of Gods goodnesse unto thy soule, but who among you will give eare to this? |
A57248 | What doest thou eate and live upon bread or ashes, when thou art empty? |
A57248 | What doest thou eye, whether doest thou goe? |
A57248 | What if neither of my parents, nor their parents can be proved beleevers? |
A57248 | What is it worldly men desire, But beautie, riches, and fine fare; With pleasures, ease, and rich attire, Things which the world in them do share? |
A57248 | What preparation is in generall? |
A57248 | Where lyeth thy life and strength? |
A57248 | Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a foole to get wisdome, seeing he hath no heart to it? |
A57248 | Which of you by taking thought can adde one oubit unto his stature? |
A57248 | Why art thou cast downe, O my soule? |
A57248 | Why doest thou look at, and rest in, such things as these? |
A57248 | Why doest thou seek the living among the dead? |
A57248 | Why not for thee? |
A57248 | Why should I feare that I would not escape? |
A57248 | Will no peace, comfort, praise of men, duties, ordinances, joyes, ravishments, satisfie thee? |
A57248 | Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of Rivers of oyle? |
A57248 | You must not give way to such a thought; who knows but the Lord may returne? |
A57248 | and doth not Christ lose the end of his death, to dye for their salvation who yet perish? |
A57248 | did Christ purchase salvation, but not the application of salvation, which is necessary to salvation? |
A57248 | doth his promise fayle for evermore? |
A57248 | doth not Christ say true, that without me yee can doe nothing? |
A57248 | for seeing conversion follows not, how is it sufficient to conversion? |
A57248 | hast thou a heart fit for Christ? |
A57248 | have you set God above his meanes, and expected his blessing upon them, without which they could doe no good? |
A57248 | how doth it appeare, Christ purchased salvation, or enough for salvation, or is the death of Christ of an uncertain event? |
A57248 | is it in nothing but in Christ? |
A57248 | is it in nothing else but Christ? |
A57248 | is it likely to be from God? |
A57248 | is that medicine sufficient to cure such a disease, which being taken doth not cure it? |
A57248 | is that sufficient to conversion that never attaines it? |
A57248 | is there remission of sinnes in Christ for every man, but no righteousnesse, no everlasting life for them? |
A57248 | or is it justice to require the payment of one debt twice? |
A57248 | outward bondage is not much to an inlarged and free spirit; what can doe much hurt, when all is well within? |
A57248 | shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a yeare old? |
A57248 | what hurt will it be to me to enter into glory? |
A57248 | what, art thou a child, or a yong man, or a father? |
A57248 | who can it declare, Or who by fadoming can finde it out? |
A57248 | who will hearken and heare for the time to come? |
A57248 | why art thou disquieted? |
A02536 | & can their double honor make them no elders? |
A02536 | Afflictions argue, yea seale this to vs. Wherein stands perfect happinesse, if not in our neare resemblance of Christ? |
A02536 | Al this,& yet no true Ministers? |
A02536 | Alas what bugs are these to fright men from heauen? |
A02536 | All those Acts which proceeded from supernaturall priuiledge, ceased with their cause: who now dare vndertake to continue them? |
A02536 | Am J his in so many bonds, and shall J serue the Diuel? |
A02536 | And doe you( whose gifts many haue enuied) stand quaking vpon the lowest staire? |
A02536 | And euen then scarce a number? |
A02536 | And now the vulgar can say, If these men were not of God, they could doe nothing: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? |
A02536 | And vvho knowes whether in that? |
A02536 | And what differs our end from yours, but in hast and violence? |
A02536 | And what feare without correction? |
A02536 | Answere him with that worthy Disciple, Maister whether shall I go from thee, thou hast the words of eternall life? |
A02536 | Are not the pointes controuerted still the same? |
A02536 | Are we all vnlearned, vnsufficient? |
A02536 | Are we then heretickes condemned in ourselues, wherin ouerthroew wee the foundation? |
A02536 | As Paul to the Corinthes, is it so that there is not one wise man amongest vs? |
A02536 | As if Christ had sayde to euery man, Goe teach, and whose sinnes ye remit: Howe Sencelesse are these two extreames? |
A02536 | Betwixt both, how many sit stil with their hands folded; and wish they knew how to be rid of time? |
A02536 | But how seldom hath the Church gained by ease? |
A02536 | But what if a man list to taske himselfe continually, and wil be alwaies painfully deuote: may hee then neuer abstaine? |
A02536 | But what if they both can liue safely thus seuered? |
A02536 | But what is that we heare? |
A02536 | By the dear name of our common parents, what meanest thou, Arminius? |
A02536 | Can no man be saued but hee that knowes euery thing in scripture? |
A02536 | Can you more dislike your station, then wee all naturally distast goodnesse? |
A02536 | Can you thinke this probable? |
A02536 | Did feare of enuy, distrust of want? |
A02536 | Did not our aduersaries quarrell enough before, at our quarrels? |
A02536 | Do but see how God scorneth that vniust Prouerbe of the Iewes, That the fathers haue eaten sower Grapes, and the childrens teeth are set on edge? |
A02536 | Doe wee not see all Christs first agents extraordinary Apostles, Euangelists, Prophets; Prophetesses? |
A02536 | Dooth this become him that shall be once glorious vvith thee? |
A02536 | Each man shal beare his own burden: is ours so light, that we cal for more waight,& vndertake what God neuer imposed? |
A02536 | For( if wee looke to no other world) what gaine is it to be the keeper of the best earth? |
A02536 | Had God neuer Church vpon earth, since the Apostles time, till Barrow& Greenwood arose? |
A02536 | Hast thou prepared heauen for me, and do I thus prepare my selfe for heauen? |
A02536 | Hath my deare Sauiour bought my soul at such a price, and shall he not haue it? |
A02536 | Hath the Gospel shined thus long, and bright, and left some Corners vnseene? |
A02536 | Haue we not a true desire to do faithful seruice to God and his Church? |
A02536 | Haue wee not competent guifts from aboue, for so great a function? |
A02536 | He charges, not to take so much as a staffe; yet after behold two swords: should the Disciples haue held their master to his owne rule? |
A02536 | He hath giuen our life to vs; he hath giuen his own life for vs. What great thing is it, if he require what he hath giuen vs, if ours for his? |
A02536 | How base and idle are these conceits? |
A02536 | How did that industrious heathen draw out water by night, and knowledge by day,& thoght both short, euer labouring onely that he might labour? |
A02536 | How easie is it to make any cause good, if we may take liberty of tongue, and conscience? |
A02536 | How glorious your constancy? |
A02536 | How happy were that Chappell( think they) if it were full of such shrines? |
A02536 | How happy were we, if we could be rid of it? |
A02536 | How like are wee to children, in the training vp of our children? |
A02536 | How long then, and wherefore? |
A02536 | How many Goddes do we pray to? |
A02536 | How many are drunke with their owne vines, and surfet of their owne fruits? |
A02536 | How many executors haue proued the executioners of honest wills? |
A02536 | How many of the Ancients, after a forceable Ordination, became not profitable onely, but famous in the Church? |
A02536 | How many thousand sue to her; and can not be look''t vpon? |
A02536 | How much lesse are straungers? |
A02536 | How much lesse ordination, which is but an outward admission to preach the gospel? |
A02536 | How much more of neighbours, whom scarce a sea seuereth from each other? |
A02536 | How rare is that man that prefers not himselfe to his dead friend? |
A02536 | How should we, when all the euil in a Citie comes from the prouidence of a good God; which can neither be impotent, nor vnmercifull? |
A02536 | How vaine are those temptations, vvhich( would make you a looser of all this praise; this recompence? |
A02536 | Howe many moderate and wiser spirits haue we, that can not approue the Ceremonies, yet dare not forsake the Church? |
A02536 | If it be truth thou affectest; what alone? |
A02536 | If then notwithstanding vnpunnished sinnes wee may ioyne with the true Church: Whether is ours such? |
A02536 | If they affirme it, when ceased we? |
A02536 | If they deny it, Who then were so? |
A02536 | If they make thee famous, and the Churche miserable; who shall gain by them? |
A02536 | If we be of the same spirit, why are we hasty in the worse, and slacke in the better? |
A02536 | If wee dare not trust God whiles we liue, how dare we trust men when we are dead? |
A02536 | If wee must bee ruled by our slaues, what good should we do? |
A02536 | In what words but holy? |
A02536 | Is it necessary that what he once commaunded, should be obserued alwayes? |
A02536 | Is singularity so precious, that it should cost no lesse, then the safety and quiet of our common mother? |
A02536 | It is sinne not to cast out the deseruing; but not yours: who made you a Ruler& a Iudge? |
A02536 | Jf they haue any personal falts, why is their calling scourged? |
A02536 | Jn the maner of performing: in set Prayers, Antichristian Ceremonies of crossing, kneeling,& c, For the former: what sinne is this? |
A02536 | Js any bond so neere as this of blood? |
A02536 | Let mee not aske whether your affections be estranged, but wherefore? |
A02536 | Let this stand euicted for the true and necessary sense of the Apostle, and what is this, but to lay men in the ballance with God? |
A02536 | Little difference is betwixt good differred, and euill done: Good was meant, who hindered it, will our conscience say? |
A02536 | Looke into our Sauiours times: what corruptions were in the very Priesthood? |
A02536 | No man vvill affirm it: some of them haue censured our excesse in some knowledge; none, our defect in all: What then? |
A02536 | No zeal for Gods glory? |
A02536 | No:( Let them meete together againe) saith the Apostle, not as a toleratiō, but as a charge? |
A02536 | Not a man that knowes to deuide the word aright? |
A02536 | Nothing that I know can be faulted in the ordering of Child- hood, but indulgence Foolish Mothers, admit of Tutors, but debarre rods? |
A02536 | Now if the tongue speak not when it ought, shall we be so foolish as to blame the hand? |
A02536 | Or to whom but the true God? |
A02536 | Or who but you woulde not thinke the tyme mispent in answering it? |
A02536 | Or, from which of these are we reuolted? |
A02536 | Our blessed Sauiour sawe the glory of al Kingdomes,& contemned them: and can not the world look vpon vs Christians, but wee are be witched? |
A02536 | See wee not fiery and clouen tongues descending ▪ What Church euer since boasted of such founders; of such meanes? |
A02536 | Shall I thus recompence thy loue, in dooing that which thou hatest? |
A02536 | Shall not the childe smart for the Parent; and shall wee( euen spiritually) for others? |
A02536 | Shall we neglect the pursuit of vertue, because it pleases not, or rather displease, and neglect our selues, till it may please vs? |
A02536 | So the Church may be still, would God thou wert wise alone? |
A02536 | Some of them we can not doe; others wee neede not: which of vs can cast out diuels by command? |
A02536 | Some they graunt, but not the right: as if they sayde? |
A02536 | Take heede while you complaine of want, least pride shroude it selfe vnder the skirts of modestie; How many are thankfull for lesse? |
A02536 | That frō an ignominious place, your soule is receyued to glory? |
A02536 | That you alone may fare better then all Gods Saints? |
A02536 | The same Gouernment, the same doctrine? |
A02536 | The vnclean must be seperated, not by the people: I Would you haue no distinction betwixt priuate and publicke persons? |
A02536 | Their Tradesmen may make true Ministers, our Ministers cānot: who but they wold not be ashamed of such a position? |
A02536 | Their minds are changed, not our estate: Who hath admonished, euinced, eccommunicated vs; and when? |
A02536 | There be more yet, which we neede not doe: VVhat neede wee to choose Ministers by Lot? |
A02536 | There is nothing that I more desire to be taught, then what is true Nobilitie: What thanke is it to you that you are borne wel? |
A02536 | Thinke not to extenuate your offence with the vain Titles of man- hood; what praise is this, that you were a valiaunt Murderer? |
A02536 | Thus setled, What is their care, theyr discourse; yea, their Trade, but eyther an Hound, or an Hawke? |
A02536 | VVhat are these which are arayd in long white robes, and whence came they? |
A02536 | VVhat can earth or heauen yeeld better then the assurance of Gods spirit? |
A02536 | VVhat mad man would purchase this crackling of thornes( such is the wordlings ioy) with eternal shrieking& tormēt? |
A02536 | VVhat need wee to Christen in riuers; or to meete vpon their bankes? |
A02536 | VVhat need wee to receiue Gods Supper after our owne? |
A02536 | VVhat neede we to disclaime all peculiarity in goods? |
A02536 | VVhat partiality is this to deny that to the children of Christians, which they grant to knowne, infidels? |
A02536 | VVhat say you? |
A02536 | VVhat should I speake of their difference of facts? |
A02536 | VVhat speake I of no hurt? |
A02536 | VVhat to leane in each others bosome while we receiue it? |
A02536 | VVherefore serues the tongue of the learned, but to speake wordes in season? |
A02536 | VVho can deny, that we haue the substance of all those royall Lawes, which Christ and his Apostles left to his Church? |
A02536 | VVho knowes not that nature is most led by sense? |
A02536 | VVhy are we not as busie, as suttle, more resolute? |
A02536 | VVhy was man created happy, but because in Gods image? |

A02536 | Was thy blood so little worth, that I should treade it vnder my feete? |
A02536 | We see the Sun daily,& warme vs at his beames, yet make not an Idol of it; doth any man hide his face, least he should adore it? |
A02536 | Were they not rich enough with our spoils? |
A02536 | What a mōster is this of an opiniō, that al trueths are equal? |
A02536 | What an happy vnhappinesse shall this be to your sad friendes, that your better part yet liueth? |

A02536 | What dulnesse is this? |
A02536 | What if your hands be red with blood? |
A02536 | What intollerable boldnesse is this; to condemne that in vs which is recorded to haue beene the continuall practise of Gods Church in all successions? |
A02536 | What is good if not patience? |
A02536 | What is( if this bee not) to make a monster of Christs body: hee is the heade, his Church the body, consisting of diuers limbes? |
A02536 | What neede I to stir vp your constancy, which hath already amazed, and wearied your persecutors? |
A02536 | What other God, Sauiour, Scriptures, Iustification, Sacraments, Heauen, do they teach beside vs? |
A02536 | What remaynes but that wee applaud our selues in this happines;& walke on clearly in this heauenly professiō? |
A02536 | What resemblance is here, yea what contrariery? |
A02536 | What sacraments but those they dare not but allow? |
A02536 | What should I speake of those plausible deuices; which they haue inuented to make superstitious, and foolish Proselytes? |
A02536 | What strange confusion is this? |
A02536 | What woulde they haue? |
A02536 | What? |
A02536 | Where lyes our Idolatry, that we may let it out? |
A02536 | Whether shoulde I rather send you, then to the sight of your own Christian fortitude? |
A02536 | Whether tend these new- rais''d dissentions? |
A02536 | Who binds vs to speak all we thinke? |
A02536 | Who can cure the sicke by ointment, and imposition of hands? |
A02536 | Who can hold these, and be hereticall? |
A02536 | Who dare vsurp vpon God,& condemn our thoughts? |
A02536 | Who durst haue conceiued that King Henry should die alone? |
A02536 | Who hath beene in our harts to see this? |
A02536 | Who shall thriue by them, but they which insult vpon vs,& rise by the fall of truth? |
A02536 | Whome to solicit heerein, J know not, but all: How gald should I be, to spend my light to the snuffe, for the effecting of this? |
A02536 | Why blessed? |
A02536 | Why haue you this respite of liuing, but to preuent the imperious necessity of death? |
A02536 | Why wol ● d God begin with those which he meant not to continue, but to shew vs we may not alwayes looke for one face of things? |
A02536 | Without the wals of your restraint, where can you looke beside encouragements of suffering? |
A02536 | Yea aboue all these, the God of heauen fauours vs; and doe wee languish? |
A02536 | Yet who would not aduenture the losse of this paines for him, which is ready to loose himself for Christ? |
A02536 | You can not but know, that your full hand, and worthy purposes haue possessed the world with much expectation: what speake I of the world? |
A02536 | You must dye: What doe wee else? |
A02536 | You would not but doe good; why not now? |
A02536 | and that Religion should loose nothing but his person? |
A02536 | and that he should die in the peaceable streets, whom no fields could kil? |
A02536 | and with Salomon, condemne it of madnes? |
A02536 | blessed be the name of that God who hath singled you out for his Champion,& made you inuincible: how famous are your bonds? |
A02536 | do we not carefully administer the sacraments of the Lord Iesus? |
A02536 | haue we not by our publick means won many soules to God? |
A02536 | how many Churches may iustly pleade, that which our Sauiour bad his Disciples, The Lord hath need? |
A02536 | how many Sons of the Prophets in their meanely- prouided Colledges may say, not, Mors in olla, but Fames? |
A02536 | how much yet more of brethren, whom neither land, nor sea, can seuer? |
A02536 | is this the fruit of thy beneficence to me, that J should wilfully dishonor thee? |
A02536 | or lost by restraint? |
A02536 | profit to truth? |
A02536 | that all those honorable and happy triumphs should end in so base a violence? |
A02536 | that this spiritual house should be all foundation, no wals, no roofe? |
A02536 | that will take no vantage of the impossibility of account? |
A02536 | the insatiable hostility of our great enemy, with what chaunge of mischiefes dooth he afflict miserable man? |
A02536 | there was time enough, meanes enough, neede enough, what hindered? |
A02536 | what do we how thus importunately catching at shadows? |
A02536 | what do we not ow to you which haue thus giuen your self for the cōmon faith? |
A02536 | what meane these subtle Nouelties? |
A02536 | what point of faith, not theirs? |
A02536 | what shuld we haue& do more? |
A02536 | what to abhorre leauen in that holy Bread? |
A02536 | what to abstaine from all strangled and bloud? |
A02536 | what to celebrate loue feasts vpon the receipt? |
A02536 | what to depend vpon a maintenance arbitrary, and vncertaine? |
A02536 | what to spend our daies in a perpetuall pererration, as not onely the Apostles but the Prophets and Euangelists some ages after Christ? |
A02536 | what to the other, but the losse of his soule? |
A02536 | who now can pitty your solitarinesse? |
A02536 | who shall be vndone, but thy Brethren? |
A02536 | who wold haue thought that violence could beget peace? |
A02536 | whom do we preach but the same Christ with them? |
A02536 | why not, except beleeuers? |
A02536 | wo were vs, if we should thus liue in the daunger of all men: haue we not sins enow of our own, but we must borrow of others? |
A02536 | would you not bee afflicted? |
A67772 | An ● how am I served accordingly? |
A67772 | And are they to be endured everlastingly? |
A67772 | And indeed, if the gates of the City be of Pearl, and the streets of Gold; what then are the inner rooms, the dining and lodging chambers? |
A67772 | And now for conclusion: Are the Joys of Heaven so unspeakable and glorious? |
A67772 | And what makes the difference? |
A67772 | And what shall I say more? |
A67772 | And withal lose their part and portion in the Kingdom of Heaven, as the Word of God expresly tells us? |
A67772 | As consider, If a dark dungeon here be so loathsom, what is that dungeon of eternal, of utter darkness? |
A67772 | As tell me, Will not their blood be required at your hands, if they perish through your neglect? |
A67772 | As what says the Apostle? |
A67772 | As, Dost thou desire beauty, riches, honour, pleasure, long life, or whatever else can be named? |
A67772 | As, Who would not obtain Heaven at any rate, at any cost or trouble whatsoever? |
A67772 | But, oh wretched Caitiff that I am; how hath the Devil and my own deceitful and devilish heart deluded me? |
A67772 | Christ our Redeemer and Elder- brother? |
A67772 | Dance hoodwinkt into this perdition? |
A67772 | Do we delight in good company? |
A67772 | Do you ask what Heaven is? |
A67772 | FIrst, Is it so, that the torments of Hell are so exquisite? |
A67772 | For as St. Paul tells us, The heart of man is not able to conceive those joyes; which being so, How should I be able to express them in words? |
A67772 | For if the brightness of the body shall match the Sun, what will the glory and splendour of the soul be? |
A67772 | For this incorruptible Crown of Glory in Heaven? |
A67772 | Fourthly, Is it so? |
A67772 | Hath Christ done so much for us, and shall we deny him any thing he requireth of us? |
A67772 | He who brings even idle words to judgment, and forgets not a thought of disobedience, how will he spare our gross negligence and presumption? |
A67772 | Hearken we unto Christs voice, in all that he saith unto us, without being swayed one way or another, as the most are? |
A67772 | Hell in Scripture is called a Lake, that burneth with fire and brimstone; and, than the torment of the former, what more acute? |
A67772 | How does this hang together? |
A67772 | How glorious and wonderful is the Maker thereof, and the City where he keeps his Court? |
A67772 | How is it that we are not more affected therewith? |
A67772 | How sweet then shall our knowledge in heaven be? |
A67772 | How then should we admire the love and bounty of God, and bless his Name, who for the performance of so small a work, hath proposed so great a Reward? |
A67772 | How will it end? |
A67772 | How wouldst thou toss and tumble, and turn from one side to another? |
A67772 | If material fire be so terrible, what is Hell- fire? |
A67772 | If the earnest penny be so precious and promising here; What shall the principal, and full crop and harvest of happiness in Heaven be? |
A67772 | If then the beginning and first fruits of it be so sweet, what shall the fulness of that beatifical Vision of God be? |
A67772 | In whom there is nothing but amiable, comfortable, delectable? |
A67772 | It will put thee to a demur, What have I done? |
A67772 | Now consider, Is one hours twitche of the worm of conscience here? |
A67772 | Now what heart would not bleed, to see men run headlong into those tortures that are thus intolerable? |
A67772 | Oh that men would believe the God of truth( that can not lye) touching spiritual and eternal things, but as they do these temporary and transitory? |
A67772 | Or in case we have peace of conscience, alas, how often is it interrupted with anguish of spirit? |
A67772 | Or that light from whence it receives its light? |
A67772 | SEcondly, Are the Joys of Heaven so unspeakable and glorious? |
A67772 | The Angels and Saints our Comforts and Companions? |
A67772 | The holy Ghost our Comforter? |
A67772 | Then wilt thou say, O that I had been more wise, or that I were now to begin my life again; then would I contemn the world with all its vanities? |
A67772 | What am I now aabout? |
A67772 | What is a thousand years? |
A67772 | What is eternity of hell torments? |
A67772 | What little enough to do, to obtain eternity? |
A67772 | What pleasure shall we take in the company of Saints and Angels? |
A67772 | What then can be more equal, then that thou shouldst suffer everlastingly? |
A67772 | What then will it be to lie in flames of fire? |
A67772 | What though it be usual with men, to have no sense of their souls till they must leave their bodies? |
A67772 | What will it be to enjoy the immediate presence, and glory of God our Father? |
A67772 | What''s a Fetter to a Dungeon? |
A67772 | Whether he finds not his joy to be like to the joy of harvest? |
A67772 | Whether will this course tend? |
A67772 | While we are here, how many clouds of discontent have we to darken the Sunshine of our Joy? |
A67772 | Who would not serve a short Apprenticeship in Gods service here, to be made for ever free in glory? |
A67772 | Will it not be sad to have Children and Servants rise up in judgment against you, and to bring in Evidence at the great Tribunal of Christ? |
A67772 | Will not this be sad? |
A67772 | Yea more, is Heaven so unspeakably sweet and delectable, is Hell so unutterably doleful? |
A67772 | Yea, are all these, and all other pains that can be named put together, but shadows and flea- bitings to it? |
A67772 | Yea, how can we be thankful enough for so great a blessing? |
A67772 | Yea, how little, how nothing, are the poor and temporary enjoyments of this life, to those we shall enjoy in the next? |
A67772 | Yea, how oft do those Russians that deny God at the Tap- house, preach him at the Gallows? |
A67772 | Yea, is one minutes twitch of a tooth pulling out so unsufferable? |
A67772 | Yea, what pain can we think too much to suffer? |
A67772 | Yea, who can utter the sweetness of that peace of Conscience, and spiritual rejoycing in God, which himself hath tasted? |
A67772 | Yea, who would not be a Philpot for a month, or a Lazarus for a day, or a Stephen for an hour, that he might be in Abrahams bosome for ever? |
A67772 | a Gallows to Hell- fire? |
A67772 | and confess that in sincerity of heart, which they oppugned in wantonness? |
A67772 | how would it charm their mouths, appall their spirits, strike fear and astonishment into their hearts? |
A67772 | or as men rejoyce when they divide a spoil? |
A67772 | than the smell of the latter, what more noysome? |
A67772 | the presence chamber of the great Monarch of Heaven and Earth? |
A67772 | the torments of Hell so woful and dolorous? |
A67772 | those delights and pleasures, that are reserved for the glorified Saints, and Gods dearest darlings in heaven? |
A67772 | what then may we think of the maker and builder thereof? |

A65659 | ( y) If thy breath slink, or thou be deformed, wilt thou say, Thy father was sweet or fair? |
A65659 | ( y) What though children do not alwayes patrizare, but sometimes degenerate from the virtue of their Progenitours? |
A65659 | ( z) De praescientia verò quid dicam? |
A65659 | And do we not think that there is a third man that may justly scorn both as having nothing in them of true Christianity? |
A65659 | And how doth the wise Orator redeem himself out of his hands? |
A65659 | And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more then others? |
A65659 | And so we suppose St. Paul would have taken( k) Agrippa, Believest thou the Prophets? |
A65659 | And what honour can proceed from a noble birth imbased by a sinfull life? |
A65659 | And what other usage can Ministers expect, when they deal with rude people, but to have all manner of filth, and dung cast in their faces? |
A65659 | And what then is the glory of the of the Nobles and Potentates of this world, compared to the glory which shall be revealed in the Saints? |
A65659 | And wherefore this? |
A65659 | Are not the Devils( if I may so say) as well- born and descended as the best? |
A65659 | Are the one mercifull? |
A65659 | Are they not the Sons of God, and the children all of them of the Highest? |
A65659 | But how comes it to passe that such as are well descended, do so far transcend others? |
A65659 | But who are these? |
A65659 | But( p) Who knows not that gold and silver are deservedly preferred before Iron and Brasse which yet are more for use and service then they? |
A65659 | Can we drink and pisse, pisse and drink in the same cups? |
A65659 | Can we prise and despise, use and abuse the same persons? |
A65659 | Dei filium imperabat lacere, ut operibus magìs quàm sermonibus Deus agnosceretur;& tu Nobilem te dicis qui es factus? |
A65659 | Did their liberal hearts devise( m) liberal things, and doest thou practise thy self, and teach also thy children all( n) sordid arts? |
A65659 | Did these want valour? |
A65659 | Did they keep open house for all commers, and doest thou still shut up thy doors, lest others should come and eat up thy commons? |
A65659 | Do not even the Publicans do the same? |
A65659 | Do not even the Publicans so? |
A65659 | Does the enemy overbear them in number? |
A65659 | Doth not God himself complain of this as of a grosse and ridiculous deportment? |
A65659 | Et ● heatricae illius turpitudinis qua fronte notatur actor, si adoratur exactor? |
A65659 | Every creature is valued according to its own inherent worth, and must man alone take up his credit from without himself, from his Noble birth? |
A65659 | For what is Godliness, but the imitation of God? |
A65659 | For why? |
A65659 | If they affect the Religion which they profess, and seek the advancement both of it, and those that administer thereunto; Do not the Heathen do so? |
A65659 | Is Saul also among the Prophets? |
A65659 | Is it not a shame and a grief, to see rare parts of nature either drowned with sottishness, or overrun with vice for lack of tillage? |
A65659 | Is it not ridiculous to see men of great birth and wealth, to have little wit or worth? |
A65659 | Is not his Mother called Mary? |
A65659 | Is not this the Carpenters son? |
A65659 | Is this house which is called by my Name, become a den of Robbers in mine eyes? |
A65659 | It hath been questioned, though I think no great question need be made of it, Which conduces most to good living, A happy brith or good breeding? |
A65659 | Many said, he hath a Devil and is mad, why hear ye him? |
A65659 | May they save their life by flight? |
A65659 | Of what Parentage? |
A65659 | Of what Profession? |
A65659 | Or do you think that Religion and Learning will stand alone without any helps and encouragements? |
A65659 | Or if thou be weak and sickly, wilt thou plead, Thy father was stout and debonaire? |
A65659 | Our Saviour commanded them silence, that proclaimed him with a loud voice to be the Son of God, and why? |
A65659 | Quae justitiaē palma est? |
A65659 | Quid in ● oeminis beatâ Mariá ● llustrius, quae spo ● sa ● a ● ri ● escri ● itur? |
A65659 | Quomodo autem abjicitur scenicus per quem colitur Deus? |
A65659 | So may we say here, If men have Wisdom and Learning, and Magnanimity, have they more then the Heathen? |
A65659 | Some have highly commended their Masters, as not giving them an ill word in long journeys, nay in long service; and why? |
A65659 | Thou that givest thy self out as descended of free and noble Parentage, wilt thou dishonour it by wretched Covetousness? |
A65659 | Tritici granum sparsum terrae, generis sui gratiam reddit:& tu degeneras? |
A65659 | Tu non respondes tuo? |
A65659 | Was Hospitality all thy fore- fathers glory, and dost thou only pleas thy self with sordid Parsimony? |
A65659 | We are delivered to do all these abominations? |
A65659 | What advantage was it to Ishmael to be born, and by his wickedness to be( d) banished out of the same family? |
A65659 | What do eminent birth, and eminent vices purchase for men, but more notorious ignominy? |
A65659 | What meaner creature then the blessed Virgin espoused to a poor Carpenter? |
A65659 | What should we speak of other things? |
A65659 | What then? |
A65659 | What wilt thou put out the bright lustre of thy kin, Sitting with women, son of stoutest Greek, to spin? |
A65659 | What; Is not Learning worth the countenancing? |
A65659 | When the pretious Spikenard was poured upon our Saviour, some had indignation and said,( k) What needs this waste? |
A65659 | Wherefore? |
A65659 | and his brethren James and Joses, Simon and Judas? |
A65659 | and his sisters are they not all with us? |
A65659 | aut quantus in Christiano populo honor Christi est, ubi religio ignobilem facit? |
A65659 | or may they not seem to have drunk of the cup of spirits, which some talk of? |
A65659 | or, Hear you what these flatterers say? |
A65659 | quae corona? |
A65659 | quas tenebras ex quo sulmine nasci passi estis? |
A65659 | was that(( e) as the Apostle saith again) which was good made death? |
A65659 | whence then hath this man all these things? |
A65659 | who higher in the favour of God her Maker? |
A65659 | who more honourable in the sight of God? |
A93709 | 28. and where are those very gifts of pure anointing? |
A93709 | And for Councels and Synods, they are such as have erred in other things, and why not in this? |
A93709 | And is God, a God of the Iewes only, is he not a God of the Gentiles also? |
A93709 | And pure anointing of Spirit for watching, feeding, and teaching? |
A93709 | And say not in thy heart who shal ascend into heaven to bring Christ down from above? |
A93709 | And why so many hundred years without these? |
A93709 | Apostles, Evangelists? |
A93709 | Are not the gleanings of Ephraim in the Vintage? |
A93709 | Did not David say, shall any man be put to death this day in Israel? |
A93709 | Doth it anywhere speak of Apostles, Evangelists, Prophets, only for the first Age, and Pastors and Teachers for the Ages after? |
A93709 | Doth not the Scripture reckon them all equally necessary in the Church? |
A93709 | Doth not the Scripture say expresly, he hath set some in his Church? |
A93709 | How have they been perfected? |
A93709 | If all these were for that very work, and yet not visibly extant for so many years? |
A93709 | Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
A93709 | What hath become of the Saints since the first great falling away? |
A93709 | Who can bring forth unity of faith but Christ? |
A93709 | Who can edifie the body or build it up but Christ? |
A93709 | Who can perfect the Saints but Christ? |
A93709 | Wo is me I am undone, I have seen the Lord: how was John when he fell at the Angels feet? |
A93709 | no spirit was left in him: how was Isaiah? |
A93709 | that is, is God limited to one sort of men? |
A93709 | { non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}? |
A87161 | & c? |
A87161 | ( or as Luke) can ye make the children of the Bride- chamber fact, while the Bridegroom is with them? |
A87161 | 10.14? |
A87161 | 4.7? |
A87161 | 6.21? |
A87161 | 7, 8, 9, 10, 11? |
A87161 | And if after all this, he acknowledged that he had not attained; shall we professe our selves actually to have attained that which he could not? |
A87161 | And is it now agreeable to that form or letter, to teach men to preferre the petitions before they can say the Preface? |
A87161 | But how dead, if both essentiall parts be vnited and in their vigour? |
A87161 | But is it not good for a man to do all that he can? |
A87161 | By multiplying lawes, to multiply sins? |
A87161 | Can the children of the Bride- chamber fast? |
A87161 | First, must they set down the time themselves, wherein they will perform such and such duties? |
A87161 | For 1 the soul enquires who shall,& c. and if not stopt there by the word of grace, the next Querie is, shall I? |
A87161 | I ask first, whether as an efficient principal, or instrumental? |
A87161 | If any among you be afflicted, let him pray, is any merry? |
A87161 | If any aske which be the things that were not shewed then, and should afterwards? |
A87161 | If the light thy already had could have discovered it to them, and effectually guided them thereunto? |
A87161 | Is not this to be done by the Spirit of Christ? |
A87161 | Men and brethren what shall we do, say those, Acts 2.37? |
A87161 | Nay, where is it said that this light ever convinced Gentile of sin, for not believing in Christ? |
A87161 | Notes for div A87161e-7720 Censet ne idem esse hominem hartari ad poenitentiam,& ad utendum suis naturalibus? |
A87161 | Oh what living man can think: that either we must, or that the Captain of our salvation was made perfect through sufferings? |
A87161 | Or to bind himself in such things, as these in which Christ hath left him at libertie? |
A87161 | Or where was ever Heathen savingly converted, but by the foolishness of preaching? |
A87161 | Secondly, must Christians wait for extraordinary impulsions of the Spirit? |
A87161 | Thirdly, if any enquire, Quid rerum nunc geritur in Angliâ? |
A87161 | Thirdly, who maketh thee to differ from another, and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? |
A87161 | Vbi manebit liberum arbitrium? |
A87161 | What advantage then hath the Iewes? |
A87161 | What is the difference between Christians and Moralists? |
A87161 | What shall we do( say the Iewes) that we might work the works of God? |
A87161 | Whether it be not good for a man to do all that he can, viz: in a way of obedience to Gods Commandments? |
A87161 | Whether to a Christian the Sabbath is to cease from his own works? |
A87161 | Whether to a Christian, the Sabbath be to cease from working according to a form or letter? |
A87161 | and not firstly, nay continually in much weakenesse fear and trembling looke to and for God to worke both the will and dead by his own Spirit? |
A87161 | and without this, what is our preaching? |
A87161 | in way of obedience to Gods Commandments? |
A87161 | in way of obedience to Gods commandments? |
A87161 | or how shall they be convinced of sin that believe not on Iesus? |
A87161 | or to enjoyn them to pray thy Kingdome come, before they can cry Abba, or, Our Father? |
A87161 | ubi facere quod in se est? |
A26689 | 16. but how is his spirit stirred when God is dishonoured? |
A26689 | 2. what more delightful then alms? |
A26689 | 45. and all the injuries done to thee as affronts to himself? |
A26689 | 6. what will become of thy Soul, it thou lookest to it onely at this careless rate? |
A26689 | Am I changed and renewed by conversion, or am I not? |
A26689 | An estate of Wrath? |
A26689 | And O what riches will you come to, when by every day, and every hour, and every action you are gainers? |
A26689 | And all this not only for a fit or a flash, but in the setled frame and disposition of thy heart? |
A26689 | And are grieved even with your very infirmities and the corrupt disposition of your natures, which you can not help though you would? |
A26689 | And do you think God keeps so many servants to be idle, or to mind their own designs and pleasures? |
A26689 | And dost not thou in thy practice first seek the Kingdome of God, and the Righteousness thereof? |
A26689 | And doth not thy heart stand to this choice? |
A26689 | And hast not thou chosen the way of the Kingdome? |
A26689 | And hast thou the face of a man and dost not blush at this, to think that God should make and maintain thee in vain? |
A26689 | And here let me put it to your Consciences: How are your rules for daily examination looked after? |
A26689 | And to the King of Glory, Thou art my Brother, and my Kinsman? |
A26689 | And what will it profit thee, O vain man, to have all kept secret from men, since God knows and detests thee? |
A26689 | Are Gods Commandments your delight? |
A26689 | Are you for riches in the other world? |
A26689 | Are you men for Eternity, or are you for present things? |
A26689 | Are you sure that you are now on Earth? |
A26689 | Are you willing of the dominion of Christ, as well as deliverance by Christ? |
A26689 | Art not thou in love with Holiness, and desirest grace more then Gold? |
A26689 | Art thou hard to be pleased, a froward wife, a froward master, a cross and willful servant? |
A26689 | Art thou under a Covenant of works? |
A26689 | At least if you can not shew the time, place, nor means, can you prove the thing? |
A26689 | Begin at home in provoking to good: Why should God plead with you? |
A26689 | Believest thou this? |
A26689 | Beloved, do you not know at whose finding you are? |
A26689 | Beloved, if you should please men, and all the world should be on your side, what would this avail while God is your enemy? |
A26689 | Brethren, are you Believers, or are you not? |
A26689 | Brethren, have you ever read of the Kingdome of joy, of the Crown of life, of the Robes of Righteousness, of the Thrones of Glory? |
A26689 | Brethren, what hath your Religion cost you hitherto? |
A26689 | Brethren, what seek I for? |
A26689 | But Sirs, what will you do? |
A26689 | But do you stagger at the promise through unbelief? |
A26689 | But what shall be done to the man whom God delights to honour? |
A26689 | But who am I, and what is my people, that we should offer so willingly? |
A26689 | But why doth thine hand tremble, and thy heart fail thee, and thy feet( with Peters when walking on the waters) begin to sink? |
A26689 | Can you say with David, I have chosen thy precepts? |
A26689 | Can you shew the marks of the Lord Jesus upon your souls? |
A26689 | Canst thou question him who is the Truth? |
A26689 | Christians, do you believe? |
A26689 | Christians, here now is meat for your Faith, What do all these holy Promises nothing move you? |
A26689 | Christians, where is your zeal for the Lord of Hosts? |
A26689 | Come then Beloved Christians be of good comfort, why shouldst thou doubt? |
A26689 | Come you to this holy Ordinance in any distress or trouble? |
A26689 | Dare not to come to God but with Christ in your Arms? |
A26689 | Death? |
A26689 | Do not the Rules of our Religion enjoyn us, to be followers of whatsoever is lovely, and of good report, and may render Religion amiable to the world? |
A26689 | Do you abound above all in secret duties? |
A26689 | Do you believe the Immortality of the Soul, and the Life to come, or do you not? |
A26689 | Do you choose not only the wages of righteousness, but the wayes of righteousness? |
A26689 | Do you close with his burden, as well as his benefits? |
A26689 | Do you come away discontented because you can not meet with God? |
A26689 | Do you count the Laws of Christ your heritage, or rather do you not count them your bondage? |
A26689 | Do you count this your whole business and blessedness? |
A26689 | Do you count your name and your estate as loss, and the delights of sense but puddle- water in comparison of Christ? |
A26689 | Do you go in Christs ways, as in jives or fetters? |
A26689 | Do you indeed Love the Lord? |
A26689 | Do you keep a watch upon your hearts, and make conscience, not only of the gross acts of sin, but even of sinful thoughts, inclinations, and desires? |
A26689 | Do you never injoy your selves so much as when you most injoy God? |
A26689 | Do you not know how to get within your poor neighbours? |
A26689 | Do you not only make conscience of open but of secret sins? |
A26689 | Do you not put off God with the worlds leavings? |
A26689 | Do you pamper and please it and make provision for it? |
A26689 | Do you sey, oh it is too much, and too great? |
A26689 | Do you think God now stands upon Perfection? |
A26689 | Do you try your selves by them from day to day? |
A26689 | Do your souls breath after this above all worldly good, that Christ may be magnified in you? |
A26689 | Dost not thou prefer a holy and spiritual life, before all the grandeur of the world, and pleasure of the flesh? |
A26689 | Dost thou, under a sly pretence of humility, question with thy Maker and call his Veracity into doubt? |
A26689 | Doth any plant a Vineyard, or keep a Flock and not expect the Fruit or the Milk? |
A26689 | Doth not reason dictate that God should have the glory of his own work, and the Vessel should be to the Potters use? |
A26689 | Doth not your very heart prize Christ above all the world? |
A26689 | First our only Business: what is it that we call or count our Business? |
A26689 | God can not but love his own likeness, wouldst thou have his Favour? |
A26689 | God hath preserved your liberties, and hath restored mine: But what of all this? |
A26689 | Had you rather be holy, than otherwise, if you were at your choice? |
A26689 | Hast not thou taken him with his Yoke, and with his Cross? |
A26689 | Hast thou not made a deliberate choice of him, for thy Head and Husband? |
A26689 | Have I put upon you a devised and unnecessary strictness? |
A26689 | Have you no enemy you dread so much as self? |
A26689 | Have you not secret reserves for your own ease, safety, estates, esteem on some beloved sin? |
A26689 | Have you only a list of religion at the outside the piece? |
A26689 | Have you taken Christ not hand over head, but deliberately, understandingly, sitting down first, and counting the cost? |
A26689 | Have you upon solemn consideration accepted Christ as the Lord your righteousness, for better for worse, for all changes of times and conditions? |
A26689 | Hell? |
A26689 | How can the righteous soul of God but abhor you, whilst in the menstruous cloaths of your own righteousness? |
A26689 | How careful is the selfish Courtier to please his Prince? |
A26689 | How many of you be there that do not know whether you be going to Heaven or to Hell? |
A26689 | How may we come in our measure to be followers of Christ in this, to do always those things that please God? |
A26689 | How often are our closet- duties hindred, or miserably disturbed for want of care to lay hold on the first opportunity? |
A26689 | How we may know whether we be, and do more then others that are unsound? |
A26689 | I mean so little glory by it: That he should sow so much and reap so little; strew so much and gather so little? |
A26689 | I pray you whose word is this? |
A26689 | I. Wherein should Christians be singular in their obedience? |
A26689 | If all men should bless you and speak well of you, what would this profit when God should rise up in judgment against you and condemn you? |
A26689 | If your Lives and Estates were in question, to whom would you go to make your friend? |
A26689 | In Gods worship you must see you be well able to answer that question, Who hath required these things at your hands? |
A26689 | Is Religion your Trade, and your conversation in Heaven? |
A26689 | Is any man able in this life to come up to the Example of Christ in this, To do alwayes those things that please God? |
A26689 | Is it at the truth of the Promise? |
A26689 | Is it not sad that men should have so much in vain? |
A26689 | Is it not, sad, sirs, that so many hours and days should pass over us, and we no nearer our end then ever we were before? |
A26689 | Is it the chief care of your lives, that God be served, and your souls be saved? |
A26689 | Is not ours a Religion of self- denyal? |
A26689 | Is not this his Word, his Promise, his Covenant? |
A26689 | Is this a Case for you to go on merrily, and contentedly in? |
A26689 | Is your course of religion such as doth put your flesh to it, and cross and curb its desires? |
A26689 | Is your design for Glory, Honour and Immortality? |
A26689 | It may be thou hast a purpose to reprove thy brother for his sin, but how long wilt thou be a purposing? |
A26689 | It would make ones heart tremble to think of being put upon such a fearful temptation to part with all for Christ, and not to be sure of him neither? |
A26689 | Let your conscience answer: where was the place? |
A26689 | May not this be the sad complaint of many a man? |
A26689 | Must not God stand by while the world is first served? |
A26689 | Nay but O heart of Infidelity, who art thou that repliest against God? |
A26689 | No saith the trembling soul, but sure so much can never belong to me so sinful, I am afraid it is not mine, why, what saith the Promise? |
A26689 | Now if a certainty may be had, will you not put in for it, and turn every stone but that you will get it? |
A26689 | Now is it your great design in your whole course to glorifie God and enjoy God? |
A26689 | O man, what an advantage will the tempter now have upon thee, when he shall suggest[ wilt thoube such a fool as to let go all at once? |
A26689 | Oh how wilt thou answer it, that thou hast had so great a stock in thine hands, and made so little improvement of it? |
A26689 | Oh what if thy Pride, or worldliness, thy delays, and triflings in Religion, should at last betray thy Soul into the Robbers hands? |
A26689 | Or do you love to give it what it craves, and suffer it to take its own way? |
A26689 | Or what may they, and must they do more then others? |
A26689 | Q. I. WHerein should Christians be singular in their obedience? |
A26689 | Q. V. What if God should this night require thy Soul? |
A26689 | Q. V. When others are for the cheap and easie religion, are you for self- denial? |
A26689 | Satan? |
A26689 | Say I this as a man, or saith not the Law the same also? |
A26689 | Say not, It is not my nature; What doth grace serve for, but to correct the evils of your temper? |
A26689 | Shall Majesty espouse himself to misery, and the worms meat be married to Immortallity and life, How can these things be? |
A26689 | Sin? |
A26689 | Sirs are you in your postures? |
A26689 | Sirs, do you know what you are doing? |
A26689 | Speak Conscience, hath this man, this woman man been soundly and savingly changed both in heart and life? |
A26689 | Surely the lives of too many Christians do speak the same language that Cain spake with his mouth, Am I my Brothers keeper? |
A26689 | The World? |
A26689 | The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and be that winneth souls is wise? |
A26689 | Thirdly, By this means you shall be always laying up a Treasure in Heaven: Brethren, what are you for? |
A26689 | Thou that teachest another teachest thou not thy self? |
A26689 | Thou, even thou art to be feared and who shall stand when once thou art angry? |
A26689 | To love that best and choose it soonest, which doth cross the flesh most? |
A26689 | To your pleasing of God something is necessary as to your persons or estates, and something as to your performances and acts? |
A26689 | WHat may, and must a Christian be, and do, that he may please God? |
A26689 | WHat weariness in, and unwillingness to duties may stand with grace, and what not? |
A26689 | Was ever mortal thus put to it? |
A26689 | Well then, would you know what frame of heart is pleasing to God? |
A26689 | What a great approbation doth he manifest of him? |
A26689 | What a happy case were I in if I had but secured my Soul? |
A26689 | What an attestation doth he give to him? |
A26689 | What can be plainer? |
A26689 | What condition is my soul now in? |
A26689 | What do I do for my Soul? |
A26689 | What do you more then others? |
A26689 | What doest thou stick at? |
A26689 | What estate did my Soul come into the world in? |
A26689 | What fair work should I make of it then? |
A26689 | What have I pressed but what the Saints have practiced? |
A26689 | What if I should lose my soul? |
A26689 | What is this but what the Scripture hath foretold shall be? |
A26689 | What may and must a Christian be and do that he may please God? |
A26689 | What more pleasing to God then prayer? |
A26689 | What pitty is it that you should adventure much and yet gain but little? |
A26689 | What say you Brethren, will you learn with me? |

A59692 | But wherein should I submit to the Lord? |
A59692 | But you will reply and say, What if we can have both? |

A59692 | Did he care for Temple aud Ordinances? |
A59692 | Did they not sacrifice those forty years to the Lord in the wildernesse? |
A59692 | Do they only please fancy for a time? |

A59692 | Hence when men shall hear many things, but to what end do you hear, or what vertue have the things you hear? |
A59692 | Here is this gain to be without them, and therefore to cast off Christ: What will the Lord do to these husband- men? |
A59692 | How did the Iewes hear, and yet not hear God speaking? |

A59692 | If Christ himself should come on earth, what would you have with him? |
A59692 | If any one from whom we expect and look for love, passe by us and never speak; What not speak a word? |
A59692 | If one should have asked men in those dayes what good is in your sacrifices? |
A59692 | Is it in this, that now the sweetnesse, savour and remembrance of every thing that doth refresh him, shall last in it self? |
A59692 | Is liberty nothing but indifferency and irresolution of spirit in the things of God? |
A59692 | It''s naturall for man to affect sovereignty, and when the time comes of liberty, then it hath a vent: Who made thee a Lord and Iudge over us? |
A59692 | Knowing, saith the Apostle, your Election of God; How did he know it? |
A59692 | Look but upon particulars, doth the Lord once speak by the Word, and humble the heart? |

A59692 | Some more principall, as Word and Sacraments; some lesse, How shall we partake of this power in them? |
A59692 | That the Kingdome should be taken from them; what was that? |
A59692 | The great reason why unthankfulnesse comes in, is; because they cost so much, as losse of estate, of wife, or of childe by sea; dost thou repent now? |
A59692 | The people, they say; What profit is it that we have served the Lord, and that we have walked mournfully before him? |

A87104 | At whose command am I? |
A87104 | Aug. Si non vovisses quid aliud tibi suadendum suit aut quid melius ab homine fieri potest, quam ut ei se restituat à quo institutus est? |
A87104 | But do we thus requite the Lord, oh foolish People, and unwise? |
A87104 | But it may be here objected, what meaneth David to say thus peremptorily? |
A87104 | But what is it that rendreth this life the matter of David''s desire and hope? |
A87104 | Can two walk together and not be agreed? |
A87104 | Doth not the Law of Nature teach us to do as we would be done to? |
A87104 | Doth the Spirit or the Flesh govern me? |

A87104 | How welcome was the spacious Land to Jonah, when he had been Prisoner in the Whales belly? |
A87104 | I am not able to requite, shall I not endeavour to return something to him for all his love? |
A87104 | I have deserved nothing but death, and tears, and falling, shall I not be thankfull for deliverance from all these? |
A87104 | I will? |

A87104 | Is not this the most odious ingratitude to retaliate injuries for curtesies? |

A87104 | Saint Paul saith, it is God who worketh in us to will and to do, and doth David attribute it to himself, I will? |
A87104 | The 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? |
A87104 | Thus indeed we ought to do; but what do we? |
A87104 | To this purpose the reasonings of David and Hezechiah concerning death, and the grave, are very observable, Shall the dust prayse thee? |
A87104 | To 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? |

A87104 | Whom should a Man labour to please if not his Benefactor? |
A87104 | and 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? |
A87104 | and would we have others deal by us as we do by God? |
A87104 | are they restrained? |
A87104 | are we not like the high- way side, which returneth no crop, though you cast never so much seed upon it? |

A87104 | these gentle Batteries? |
A87104 | thou hast delivered my soul from death, to whom but thee should I dedicate my life? |
A87104 | what 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? |

A87104 | yea, like the Vineyard, which though fenced and planted, instead of Grapes brought forth wild Grapes? |
A87104 | yea, which of us at some time, in some kind or other, hath not been blessed with deliverances, and that from various, yea desperate dangers? |

A30615 | All but light afflictions, Why? |
A30615 | An Earthly- minded man hath the curse of the Serpent upon him: What was that? |
A30615 | And Lord, art thou in a way of mercy? |
A30615 | And art thou in a way of affliction in my family, or in a way of mercy? |
A30615 | And how came he to have his soul to prosper? |
A30615 | Are not these your thoughts? |
A30615 | Are they not good, and in themselves lawful? |
A30615 | Are we under Gods way of judgments, in a way of afflictions? |
A30615 | As how a man doth value himself and value others, is it not because that others, or your selves have much of the things of the earth? |
A30615 | BUt having set out unto you the excellency of walking with God, you will say, Who is it that doth walk with Him? |
A30615 | BUt you will say, How should we do to get this our Conversasation to be in Heaven? |
A30615 | Be astonished O ye Heavens at this, and be horrible afraid, be ye very desolate saith the Lord, Why? |
A30615 | But now, Do you reason thus for the things of Heaven? |
A30615 | But now, I appeal to you, Who are you withal when you awake? |
A30615 | But now, If you demand the reason, why it is that the Saints have their Conversations in Heaven? |
A30615 | But now, if any one should say, May we not mind earthly things and heavenly things too? |
A30615 | But what evidences can you shew? |
A30615 | Can two walk together except they be agreed? |
A30615 | Communion, you will say, what''s that? |
A30615 | Do not we reade often, That Jesus Christ was God and Man, took mans nature upon him, and died for man? |
A30615 | Doest thou come to the Word and there hear his voice? |
A30615 | Doest thou desire no further glory in this world, but that I may have glory in? |
A30615 | Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? |
A30615 | Fourthly, Gods withdrawing of comfort is not alwaies the withdrawing of his presence: Thou maiest mistake, thou thinkest that God is withdrawn, why? |
A30615 | God hath forsaken me and I''le forsake him? |
A30615 | God sends but a little too much heat into the body, and puts thee into a feavour, and where''s thy delight then? |
A30615 | Heavenly principles you will say, What are they? |
A30615 | How did the Spirit of God begin to stir in me? |
A30615 | How may any Causuality come and take away from thee al the things of the earth that thy mind is upon? |
A30615 | I but you will say, For these things while we are upon the earth we have need of them, how can we do otherwaies but mind them? |
A30615 | I will set my Tabernacle amongst you: What''s that? |
A30615 | If it will not content thee, why is it that thy mind is so much upon the things of the earth? |
A30615 | Indeed they do give contentment unto the flesh more than former waies, but doest thou think that the end of them will be peace? |
A30615 | Is not God pleased to speak to thy soul out of his Word? |
A30615 | Is the creature so sweet? |
A30615 | Is the way like to end well that I am walking in? |
A30615 | It is a very carnal expression that some have, Why? |
A30615 | It may be, they would have said, is not this, To mind Earthly things? |
A30615 | It seems that the Lord for the present to Davids apprehension had forsaken him: but what was Davids resolution? |
A30615 | It was that that made Demas to be an Apostate; why? |
A30615 | It''s an excellent Scripture; would you be built up in godliness? |
A30615 | Know ye not that the love of the world is enmity to God? |
A30615 | Let every Christian think thus, My Conversation is thus and thus; but what glory do I bring to God by my Conversation? |
A30615 | Now I appeal to you in this, Do you live so, as that your family, and your neighbors may see that you have bin this morning in Heaven? |
A30615 | Now except you do restore, you do wilfully continue in it; for why? |
A30615 | Now is it not a blessed thing to be in safety alwaies with God? |
A30615 | Now the soul that hath the liberty of walking with God, what a priviledg hath he? |
A30615 | Now this being attainable in this life what hinders but a Christian may live in heaven whilst he lives upon earth? |
A30615 | Now what is Earthly- mindednesse, but Covetousnesse, which is Idolaitry? |
A30615 | Now what makes Heaven but God? |
A30615 | Now what''s the Mercy- Seat but Jesus Chaist? |
A30615 | Now you will say, we must not be insnar''d in the things of the earth: when is a mans heart spiritual? |
A30615 | Now, what should be the life of a Christian, but a continual preparation for death? |
A30615 | Oh are you not loth die before such time as you see some work of grace wrought in the hearts of your children? |
A30615 | Oh do but examine what intercourse there hath been between Heaven and you: how is it with many of you? |
A30615 | Oh thou that heretofore didst seem to converse with God, and to walk with him, what iniquity hast thou found with me saith God? |
A30615 | Oh what will be the end of these waies that now thou art in? |
A30615 | Our Conversation is in Heaven: what do all these things tend to? |
A30615 | Psalm, 8. verse, I will keep thy Statutes; what then? |
A30615 | Self: what''s that? |
A30615 | Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth: why? |
A30615 | Shall thy mind and heart be set upon such things as are the portion of Reprobates? |
A30615 | So may I say to all Christians, that would professe themselves Christians and godly; ought not ye to walk in the fear of our God? |
A30615 | So what evil hast thou found in the waies of God? |
A30615 | So, Oh that God would meet with such as are declining from the good waies of God, Oh thou soul whither art thou going? |
A30615 | So, what''s your chief Joy, your profitting by the word, or gaining by your bargains? |
A30615 | The work of Grace when it is first wrought, it hath the name of Vocation: Calling, what is it for a man to be called? |
A30615 | Then saith God, Is it so? |
A30615 | Then what shall he be that walks with God? |
A30615 | Therefore you know what Christ saith, What shall it profit a man, to gain the whol world, and lose his soul? |
A30615 | This is a special thing in walking with God, when they lie down to consider, Are my accompts even with God? |
A30615 | Thou goest abroad, and art dangerously wounded by an enemy, what refreshing then doest thou receive from all these things? |
A30615 | Thou hast a few names even in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments, What''s promised to them? |
A30615 | Thou tellest my wandrings, put thou my tears into thy bottle, are they not in thy book? |
A30615 | WHat Rules should be observed for a Christian''s walking with God? |
A30615 | What Idolatry is there in it? |
A30615 | What difference is there between the poor and rich when they die? |
A30615 | What evidence have you that the saving work of grace is wrought in you? |
A30615 | What is there in hell, but hatred and malice? |
A30615 | What motions flowing in had I at such a time? |
A30615 | What shall I do to please God? |
A30615 | What was the reason when the young man came to Christ, to know what he should do to the Eternal life that he got no good? |
A30615 | What''s done in Heaven, but the keeping of a perpetual Sabbath? |
A30615 | What''s the glory of Heaven but the reflection of Gods presence upon Heaven that makes it so glorious? |
A30615 | What''s to be done when Examples of Godly men are contrary? |
A30615 | What? |
A30615 | When he is in company with friends, is it so sweet to have society with men: how sweet is it to have society with God then? |
A30615 | When is the bird in danger of the Lime- twig or Net but when she comes to pick below upon the ground? |
A30615 | When we come to heaven, there we shall have dispositions sutable to heaven, but sure not till then? |
A30615 | While thou art mudling in the world, and plodding for thy self in the things of this world, If God should come to thee and say, Where art thou? |
A30615 | Whither was I going? |
A30615 | Who did ever walk with God so as Christ did? |
A30615 | Who were these? |
A30615 | Why( you will say?) |
A30615 | Would it not be a great benefit to the world if God should send some one Saint from Heaven, or Angel to converse in a bodily way among us? |
A30615 | You know what Philip said, Let us see the Father, and it sufficeth us: What, would it suffice Philip to see God? |
A30615 | You know, If you be walking from place to place, if you have good company with you, you are not weary, you account the journy nothing, why? |
A30615 | You will say for this Idolatry, What is there in it? |
A30615 | You will say, Do not these comfort our lives? |
A30615 | You will say, What Rule doth the Apostle mean here? |
A30615 | and are there no higher things to be had in God than such base things as thy heart is upon? |
A30615 | and are your thoughts solicitous about this? |
A30615 | and be rouling of sin and wickedness up and down in your thoughts? |
A30615 | and how can that stand with such workings as I have had before? |
A30615 | and that your sins are pardoned, and your souls justified? |
A30615 | and what opportunities to present petitions to God? |
A30615 | and what shall my graces that are in my soul be? |
A30615 | and where dost thou think to find so much good as in Abraham''s family, where the presence of God is? |
A30615 | are not you walking many times with the Devil, and making provision for the flesh? |
A30615 | are these the waies that are like the former waies that thou hast seem''d to walk in? |
A30615 | art thou going from thence? |
A30615 | art thou satisfied with dogs meat? |
A30615 | as he said to Adam; yea sometimes while thou art at prayer and hearing the Word, Where are thy thoughts, and about what? |
A30615 | but have I it with the blessing of God? |
A30615 | but then, take not only my soul, but my grace, the Divine Nature that is in my soul, what shall that be raised too? |
A30615 | but what communion have I with God in them? |
A30615 | but who are they that do so? |
A30615 | can you say in your consciences, that you think that they that do so have their Conversations in Heaven, you will do as they do? |
A30615 | can you value a poor man that is godly above the richest man that is wicked? |
A30615 | canst thou attain to a more strict and holy Conversation than a Heavenly Conversation? |
A30615 | do not you hear of many Saints of God that walk comfortably in the midst of all afflictions upon the assurance of Gods love? |
A30615 | do others glorifie God by beholding the lustre of the holiness of God in me? |
A30615 | do they see cause to blesse God that they see so much of the glory of God in me? |
A30615 | doest thou come from Abraham''s family? |
A30615 | doth God offer himself to walk and converse with you, and will you walk with the flesh, and converse with the Devil? |
A30615 | even as if there were no Heaven at all? |
A30615 | had not God higher thoughts in making of the children of men? |
A30615 | hath not godliness the promises of this life as well as of that to come? |
A30615 | have I any word from Jesus Christ to guide me in such a way? |
A30615 | have not I cause to fear that I am but an Hypocrite, a rotten professor? |
A30615 | have you so much time for the spending the very spirits of your souls upon the things of this earth, can you spare so many hours? |
A30615 | how great is the sum of them? |
A30615 | how sweet is God then? |
A30615 | if thou hadst but thy thoughts often working this way, Wherefore do I think in my conscience hath God made the children of men, for what end? |
A30615 | is it the losse of the light of the face of God, or the losse of an estate, the losse of a voyage, or the commission of a sin? |
A30615 | is that possible? |
A30615 | is the way that I am in like to the way that befeems an Immortal soul? |
A30615 | is there nothing amisse between God and my soul? |
A30615 | must I leave you now? |

A30615 | that you have shot the gulf? |
A30615 | thou that hast had the Word working upon thy heart and thou wert seem''d to be turned into the good waies of God, whither art thou going? |
A30615 | thy body being either too much heated, or too much coold, what''s become of all thy comfort here in this earth? |
A30615 | we can not be Saints? |
A30615 | we have the Prophesie of Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and other Prophets; but where the Prophesie of Enoch? |
A30615 | what a seemly thing were it in those that come to hear the word when they depart that there should be no discourse but tending that way? |
A30615 | what abundant enterance will be made into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? |

A30615 | what''s the matter? |
A30615 | whatsoever other men do, they do thus and thus, and seek to follow their own ends and waies, but ought not YE to walk in the fear of our God? |
A30615 | when their goods were spoil''d, did they take that joyfully? |
A30615 | when will that blessed day come when I shall come to enjoy those good things that are there? |
A30615 | where''s the great workings of your spirits? |
A30615 | who are you conversing withal? |
A30615 | who had ever that fellowship with the Father and the Son so as Christ had? |
A30615 | why hath he sent them hither into the world? |
A30615 | wil not this be folly? |
A30615 | will a Reprobates portion content thee? |
A30615 | will it serve thee? |
A30615 | will not you curse your selves hereafter for your folly? |
A30615 | will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of Oyl? |
A30615 | with Calves of a yeer old? |
A30615 | you should be walking with God: what are you the Saints of God? |
A26917 | 24.5, 6. and which of the Prophets and Apostles did they not persecute? |
A26917 | After all that is come upon us, should we again break thy Commandements, wouldst thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us?] |
A26917 | Ah thinks a poor Minister, What hopes had I once of these Professors; and are they come to this? |
A26917 | Alas Sirs, if any deceivers come among us, how few of our people are able to withstand them, and defend the truth of God against them? |
A26917 | Alas, how little hearty love is there to Christ in his Members, even in them that are confident they love the brethren? |
A26917 | Alas, how much pride prevaileth with many that seem to go far in the way of Piety? |
A26917 | And O what an insensible heart hath he that doth not understand the voice of all this wondrous mercy? |
A26917 | And O who would not aspire after the highest measure of Holiness, in hope of a high degree of Glory? |
A26917 | And can you think it is not somthing extraordinary that God must needs expect from you? |
A26917 | And do you not know that if ever you be damned, it will be for loving the World too much, and God too little? |
A26917 | And how apt is he to think almost as highly of the teaching of Aristotle, Plato, Seneca, or at least of some excellent preacher, as of Christs? |
A26917 | And how can Infants go through all these works? |
A26917 | And how little comfort findeth he in believing, in comparison of that which the confirmed find? |
A26917 | And how little doth he repent of this, or endeavour to reform it? |
A26917 | And how little doth this weak Christian refer his common knowledge to God? |
A26917 | And how little life receives he from him? |
A26917 | And how loyal would those rebellious Jews seem, when they thought it the only way to engage the Roman Power against Christ? |
A26917 | And how many a snare doth lie before him which he never did observe? |
A26917 | And if we try the Graces, or obedience of Professors, alas, how small shall we find them in the most? |
A26917 | And must God have such servants as these, that upon every rumour or word or trouble, are wavering and looking back, and ready to forsake him? |
A26917 | And must we incur all this for magnifying you, and will you dishonour your selves? |
A26917 | And should a people thus fed be Dwarfs continually? |
A26917 | And should all this be answered but with triss ● ng from you? |
A26917 | And should not believers now, be awakened to great and careful preparations, for such a day as this? |
A26917 | And should not you abound in love and holiness? |
A26917 | And under such pressing necessities as these, what Christians should we be? |
A26917 | And what can be said more Blasphemously against God, or more injuriously against Religion, the Scriptures, and the Saints? |
A26917 | And what man would choose such a weak and languishing state as this, before a confirmed healthful state? |
A26917 | And who hath not only frustrated these hopes, but almost broke them all to pieces? |
A26917 | And why came we into the Army of Christ but to fight? |
A26917 | And why have we the life of Grace but to use it, and to live by it? |
A26917 | And why then should we imagine that the Heavenly Hierusalem shall not be so too? |
A26917 | And yet I hope you will not seek after these because they are novelties, and give over eating Bread because you have eaten of it already? |
A26917 | And yet will you be Infants, and do no more with all your helps? |
A26917 | And yet will you stop in a state so like to those that perish? |
A26917 | Are Infants meet for such encounters? |
A26917 | Are the thoughts or God and Heaven unpleasant or terrible to you? |
A26917 | Are you content if you have but Life here, to difference you from the dead? |
A26917 | Are you inclined to fleshly lust? |
A26917 | Are you inclined to please your appetite in drinking? |
A26917 | Are you lyable to a gluttonous pleasing of your appetite? |
A26917 | Are you not in more danger of overloving a pleasing and prosperous condition, than a bitter and vexatious state? |
A26917 | But I am a poor obscure person, that have neither abilities of mind or body or estate; and what good can I do? |
A26917 | But how few lament the sins against Government, which this Land hath been sadly guilty of? |
A26917 | But if you can, when think you should it be done? |
A26917 | But on whom? |
A26917 | But the seeming Christian is most carefull how to prosper in the World, or please his flesh? |
A26917 | But the weak Christian, though he be also united unto Christ, and live by faith, yet how languid are the operations of that faith? |
A26917 | But the weak Christian, though he hath no sin but what he is a hater of, and fain would be delivered from, yet alas how imperfect is his deliverance? |
A26917 | But to the weak unconfirmed Soul, how much of the means of Grace is even as lost? |
A26917 | Can I be a gainer if I lose my soul? |
A26917 | Christ is the way to the Father: but to what purpose did you come into this way, if you meant not to travel on in it? |
A26917 | Christian, hadst thou not infinitely rather Love God with the greatest Love than with a less? |
A26917 | Consider this as the highest Motive of all? |
A26917 | Did not his Master prove as was reported? |
A26917 | Do you consider what great things you must make account to suffer for Christ? |
A26917 | Do you think that men are like to be won by such lives as these? |
A26917 | Do your worst to draw them to intemperance in eating or drinking or recreations, or any of the delights of the Flesh? |
A26917 | For while one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollo, are ye not carnal? |
A26917 | For will he be at so much care to keep up a World to dishonour and abuse him? |
A26917 | For ye are yet carnal: For whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
A26917 | God expecteth more from you; for he hath given you more, and meaneth to do more for you? |
A26917 | Have you been warmed with his wondrous love, and washed with his blood, and saved by his matchless mercy? |
A26917 | Have you not seen how many that seemed strong have been overthrown in a time of tryal? |
A26917 | Here is a man eminent in meekness and humility, and patience and self- denial; discompose and disturb his mind if you can? |
A26917 | His friend meeting him, asked him how he came so quickly to forsake his happiness? |
A26917 | His heart saith; Alas, whither shall I go, if I go from Christ? |
A26917 | How apt are( not only Hypocrites, but) weak Christians, to aggravate all that is done against them? |
A26917 | How can you then expect that he should preserve the World? |
A26917 | How censorious are they of others, especially that differ from them in lesser things? |
A26917 | How dark and dull are his thoughts of Christ? |
A26917 | How few are they that can rejoyce in tribulation, persecution and bodily distresses, because of the hopes laid up in Heaven? |
A26917 | How few are they that stand in a day of tryal? |
A26917 | How few can use prosperity in riches and health and reputation, with a mortified, weaned, heavenly mind? |
A26917 | How few will do or suffer much for them, or relieve them in their want as suffering with them? |
A26917 | How ill do they bear dis- esteem or under valuing? |
A26917 | How ill doth it become men to make any stand in the way to Heaven? |
A26917 | How little are most acquainted with the life of Faith? |
A26917 | How little do they admire the Redeemer and his blessed work? |
A26917 | How little doth he depend on Christ in his enquiries after the things of nature? |
A26917 | How little is his sense of the wonders of Gods love revealed to the world in the mysterie of Redemption? |
A26917 | How little sweetness do they find in means? |
A26917 | How little use doth he make of Christ? |
A26917 | How many a temptation is he much unacquainted with? |
A26917 | How much more when he that is for Paul doth censure and rail at Cephas and Apollo? |
A26917 | How oft have I heard a common drunkard with tears cry out against himself for his sin, and yet go on in it? |
A26917 | How oft have I heard a sick man most vehemently profess his resolutions for a holy life, which all have come to nothing afterwards? |
A26917 | How often is he soild and wounded? |
A26917 | How small a matter, a word, a seeming wrong or disrespect will turn their love into estrangedness or bitterness? |
A26917 | How then will silly ignorant Christians be able to perswade them? |
A26917 | How unskilfully doth he manage his Christian armour? |
A26917 | How well do they think of themselves and their own parts and performances? |
A26917 | How wise are they in their own conceits? |
A26917 | How worldly, and close handed and eager of gain, are many that say they despise the World, and take it for their enemy? |
A26917 | I beseech you look upon the face of the World, and see whether it have not need of the strongest helps? |
A26917 | I mean, by partaking of the greatest effects of it, and the fullest sense of his everlasting favour? |
A26917 | If a Papist be to plead his cause with them, how few have we that can answer him? |
A26917 | If any duty be cross to their profit or credit with men, how obstinate are they against it? |
A26917 | If ever Christ were needful, he is needful still? |
A26917 | If he would have Godliness be scandalized, who hath he to do it but Professors of Godliness? |
A26917 | If no, why do you wish a death to be tryed once again? |
A26917 | If you were never drawn to do any thing to the reproach of the Church, yet what a grief must it be to us, to see so many of your selves miscarry? |
A26917 | Is ignorance, and dulness, and earthliness, and selfishness, excusable after all these means? |
A26917 | Is it long of him, who girdeth himself to wash and wipe their feet? |
A26917 | Is the time of uncertain painful sickness better than this? |
A26917 | Is there any former or present sin which is a burden or terror to your Consciences? |
A26917 | Is there any other that hath the word and spirit of eternal life? |
A26917 | Is there any thing in all this Character of a Christian, that deserveth the suspicion or hatred of the world? |
A26917 | Is there any thing in this World that is sw ● ● t ● r t ● your thoughts than God and Heaven? |
A26917 | It is but a few from whom God expecteth any great matter: And shall those few prove deceitful to him? |
A26917 | It is most sweet in quality: what sweeter to miserable souls than Mercy? |
A26917 | Let not death surprize you as a thing that you never seriously expected ▪ Can you do no more in preparation for it than you do? |
A26917 | Many good works have I shewed you from my Father: for which of these works do ye stone me? |
A26917 | Many heavenly graces are in the sanctified Believer: For which of these do you hate and injure him? |
A26917 | Must those hands be employed to demolish his Kingdom, that were washed by him, and should have built it up? |
A26917 | Must you be in the eternal Joyes of Heaven, when all your unsanctified Neighbours are in torments, and yet will you not more endeavour to excel them? |
A26917 | O Sirs, must God be thus wonderfully tender of you, and will you not now be very tender of his interest and your duty? |
A26917 | O how many Prayers, and Confessions, and Duties do these men lose? |
A26917 | O if he were but sure that this would be the day, or week, or year of the coming of his Lord, how glad would the confirmed Christian be? |
A26917 | O there is not the holiest Saint on earth, but will confess with lamentation, how little his love to God is in comparison of what it should be? |
A26917 | O what a glory would you be to your Profession, if you could attain to this degree? |
A26917 | O what a heart hath that man, that will not be heartned with such calls as these? |
A26917 | O what a noyse they make of it, if they think that any one hath wronged them? |
A26917 | O what a sin and shame is this? |
A26917 | O what a sport is this to the Devil, when he can set his professed enemies by the ears, and make them fall upon one another? |
A26917 | O what an unrighteous generation are his enemies, that blame the Law because men break it? |
A26917 | O what endeavours then should be used, for the heavenly everlasting treasure? |
A26917 | O who hath gone beyond thee for power and plenty and purity of Ordinances? |
A26917 | Or will you teach your children Hebrew, and Greek, and Latine, before they learn English? |
A26917 | Or would they have him condemn sinners to more grievous punishment, when they are already offended at the severity of his threatnings? |
A26917 | Shall all the Workmanship of God abuse him? |
A26917 | Shall all these high things be spoken of you, and will you live so far below them all? |
A26917 | Shall he have no honour from any inferiour Creature? |
A26917 | Shall he thus difference you from all the rest of the world, and will you not study to declare the difference? |
A26917 | Shall such a thing as Heaven be coldly, or carelesly minded and sought after? |
A26917 | Shall the Lord of Heaven thus make his boast of you to all the World, and will you not make good his boasting? |
A26917 | Should not all the love and service that you have be his? |
A26917 | Should not new Motives and helps thus added to the old, be the means of adding to your zeal and holiness? |
A26917 | Should such a matchless Miracle of Love, be answered with no greater 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A26917 | Though the weak Christian hath the same Master, yet alas how little doth he learn? |
A26917 | Were these men confirmed and stablished in the Faith? |
A26917 | Were these men rooted and built up in Christ? |
A26917 | What a Life is this to be the burdens of the Church, when you might be the Pillars of the Church? |
A26917 | What a case is that Hospital in where all are sick, and no healthful persons among them to help them? |
A26917 | What a hainous wrong is this to God? |
A26917 | What a stay to the places where you live? |
A26917 | What can rationally rejoyce that man, who is sure to die, and unready to dye, and is yet unfurnished of dying comforts? |
A26917 | What do men choose a Physician for, but to heal them? |
A26917 | What excellent disputations have Cicero and Seneca, the Platonists and Stoicks, to prove that Virtue is of it self sufficient to make Man happy? |
A26917 | What excellent hopes had we once in England of the flourishing of piety and happy union among the Churches and servants of Christ? |
A26917 | What greater reproach almost could have befallen us, than for the adversary to stand by, and see men pulling out each others Throats? |
A26917 | What if Christs Disciples strive who shall be the greatest? |
A26917 | What more would you have? |
A26917 | What shifts and frivolous excuses have they then? |
A26917 | What sin would not gain or pleasure draw him to commit, if he were but sure to be forgiven? |
A26917 | What then would they prove if they were tryed by the flames? |
A26917 | What work are you like to make him, in this decrepit and weak condition? |
A26917 | When they need Discipline themselves how impatient are they of it, and how do they abhor it? |
A26917 | Where then is the mouth that pleadeth the cause of infidelity and impiety? |
A26917 | Which of you would desire an Infant or Criple to be your servant? |
A26917 | Who heareth of such angry complaints on Gods behalf, as on mens own? |
A26917 | Whose Oxe or Asse have I taken? |
A26917 | Why came we into the Vineyard, but to work? |
A26917 | Why came we into the race but to run for the prize? |
A26917 | Will you go to the top of the stairs or ladder, without beginning at the lower steps? |
A26917 | Will you not walk in the Spirit which is given you, and mortify the flesh by it? |
A26917 | Will you ride your colt before you break him? |
A26917 | Will you run up and down for Physick when you are sick? |
A26917 | Will you sow your ground before you manure or plow it? |
A26917 | Will your rear an house before you frame it? |
A26917 | Would he have a Church divided? |
A26917 | Would he have publick divisions maintained among all the Churches of the World? |
A26917 | Would he have the truth opposed, and error and darkness to be promoted? |
A26917 | Would they have him yet make stricter Laws( when they hate these for being so strict already?) |
A26917 | Would they not say that you unworthily exposed them to scorn? |
A26917 | Would you wish the poor World to write after such a crooked and bloted Copy? |
A26917 | Yea, how often are you quarrelling with your food; and you do not like it? |
A26917 | You are his dear adopted children, and his Spouse: and should not you be faithful to him to the death? |
A26917 | You are his friends; and should a friend abuse him? |
A26917 | You are his houshold- servants; and will you not labour for him and stick to him? |
A26917 | You have bound your selves to him by more serious frequent vows and Covenants than other men have done? |
A26917 | You have had many a Prayer answered, and many a deliverance granted; and will you make a stand when all these experiences do call you forward? |
A26917 | You have tasted of the sweetness of the Love of Christ, and wondered at the unspeakable Riches of his Grace? |
A26917 | You or none that must be exemplary to the World; and shall it be none at all? |
A26917 | You receive Christ as a Physician of your diseased Souls; and doth not this engage you to go on to use his Medicines till you are cured? |
A26917 | [ If ye offer the blind for Sacrifice, is it not evil? |
A26917 | [ O how great is his goodness which he hath laid up for them that fear him? |
A26917 | and be beloved again with the greatest of his Love? |
A26917 | and blame Religion because many are not Religious enough? |
A26917 | and fear and abhor the approach of an evil thought? |
A26917 | and hath charged them to mark them that cause divisions and offences contrary to the Doctrine which they had learned, and to avoid them? |
A26917 | and hath told them, that if they bite and devour one another, they shall be devoured one of another? |
A26917 | and how carnal, and common is much of his knowledge? |
A26917 | and how little good can they say they get by them? |
A26917 | and how oft is he hearkning to the teaching of the flesh? |
A26917 | and how unapt to judg themselves? |
A26917 | and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? |
A26917 | and inconsiderateness deprive them of the benefit of their reason? |
A26917 | and made a jest of the Judgements of the Lord? |
A26917 | and make provision for it? |
A26917 | and of overloving Riches, honour, and sensual fulness and delights, rather than Poverty, reproach, and mortification? |
A26917 | and reproached the serious holiness of Believers? |
A26917 | and should you not be as tender of his favour and his law, and honour, as of the Apple of your eye? |
A26917 | and so barren and common a kind of life? |
A26917 | and that can live upon a Promise, and comfortably wait on God for the accomplishment? |
A26917 | and to extenuate or justifie all that they do against another? |
A26917 | and what a stir do they make before they will submit? |
A26917 | and what a wrong to God and thee? |
A26917 | and what order, and growth and comfort is among them? |
A26917 | and whether he should poison, or famish, or torment himself? |
A26917 | and whether it be for wronging God or them, that all the stirre is made? |
A26917 | and who should do it but the unstable Members of it? |
A26917 | and why are you troubled that you lived no better? |
A26917 | and will you no more regard the health and stability, and spiritual peace and vigour of your souls? |
A26917 | and will you not study to shew your selves more excellent indeed? |
A26917 | and yet will you rest satisfied with an Infant- strength, to do those great and matchless works, which your Salvation lyeth on? |
A26917 | defamed them? |
A26917 | disparaged them? |
A26917 | especially when they have been in the way so long, that we might have expected before this they should have been as it were almost within sight of it? |
A26917 | even more sometimes than a Drunkard or a Swearer, so small is their Repentance and detestation of their sin? |
A26917 | hast thou found God a hard Master, a barren Wilderness to thee? |
A26917 | how carelesly doth he watch them? |
A26917 | how do you think that God must take this at your hands? |
A26917 | how oft are they defiled with impurity and uncharitableness? |
A26917 | how quickly doth he find a bone of contention? |
A26917 | how remisly doth he rebuke them, excite them and command them? |
A26917 | if God be for us, who can be against us? |
A26917 | must those abuse him whom he hath Redeemed from damnation? |
A26917 | offer it now to thy Governour: Will he be pleased with thee or accept thy person, saith the Lord of Hosts?] |
A26917 | or can they read before they learn to spell, or know their letters? |
A26917 | or can you reap before you sow it? |
A26917 | or incroached on their right? |
A26917 | or of whose hand have I received any bribe, to blinde mine eyes therewith, and I will restore it? |
A26917 | or to read the hardest books before they learn the easiest? |
A26917 | or to the furtherance of his own and others happiness? |
A26917 | or use it for him? |
A26917 | or what will it do against them? |
A26917 | or whom have I defrauded? |
A26917 | or why turned we into the right way, but to travel in it? |
A26917 | should not a friend be faithful? |
A26917 | than, How shall I know that I shall be saved? |
A26917 | that thou shouldest now begin to make a stand, as if thou were in doubt whether it be best to go further? |
A26917 | what a deal of vanity and confusion is in them? |
A26917 | what harm is there in it? |
A26917 | who must do it but Professors of the truth? |
A26917 | who shall deliver me from this body of death? |
A26917 | whom have I oppressed? |
A26917 | you are not able much to help one another; how much less to help the dead ungodly World? |
A45394 | & c. And then I must demand, did St. Paul destroy and abolish this feast wherein these abuses were observed? |
A45394 | ( which yet this Diatribist hath not thought fit to offer) Be not righteous overmuch, why shouldst thou destroy thy self? |
A45394 | 15. and did the Apostles blame it as superstitious? |
A45394 | 18, 19. to shut up the great prophecy in the New Testament; And then, I pray, is he that offends against either of these two texts, too Religious? |
A45394 | 18. and a multitude of the like nature every where in the Scripture? |
A45394 | 3. and is not the future reward the object of that hope, and so that which regularly sets a Christian about his work? |
A45394 | 3. most properly, why? |
A45394 | 35. he pretends to prove all folly and vanity in the worship of God, to be superstition, by demanding what Superstition is, but folly and vanity?] |
A45394 | Again, hath not Christ proposed his rewards on purpose to allure us to come unto him? |
A45394 | And 1. for the times of prayer, I demand, What hath the rule of worship, the Scripture prescribed? |
A45394 | And I pray why was not the Helvetian confession worth his taking notice of? |
A45394 | And if they do answer it, why would not the Diatribist be so kinde as to recite it from them? |
A45394 | And in the very next words again he addes, Is he not threatned with loss of his talent for not using it? |
A45394 | And is not this a strange perverting of plain words? |
A45394 | And is there any goodnesse in hypocrisie? |
A45394 | And may all under that authority safely observe such ceremonies so commanded? |
A45394 | And shall this be any argument for the abolition of that day? |
A45394 | And then what a confusion of things most distant, what an injustice is this? |
A45394 | And to what purpose was this change? |
A45394 | And what if it be? |
A45394 | As for the Latines and later interpreters, to which the Diatribist now calls me, and asks me why I did not tell him, how they rendred the word? |
A45394 | But I demand 1. how doth it appear that this verse contains a reason of the destructivenesse of those abstinences? |
A45394 | But I must demand whether he can imagine that those learned men were in the right in this, or have herein exprest any of their learning? |
A45394 | But I pray doth he that prostrates himself in prayer, adde to the word of God? |
A45394 | But I pray is not piety taken in a good sense, even when the hypocrite simulates piety? |
A45394 | But I pray what is this but to grant the premises, and deny the conclusion? |
A45394 | But I shall ask, Is it what it seems, or is it not? |
A45394 | But can he think the worship of Angels to be such? |
A45394 | But let the question be fairely set, can not a thing that is foolish and impious have a shew of wisdome in respect of Will- worship? |
A45394 | But then to what purpose was his observation? |
A45394 | But then to what purpose was the ment on of the two parts, affirmative and negative, of the Commandments, premised? |
A45394 | But what if they had, was it ever denyed or questioned by me, but that impious persons or actions might have a shew of piety? |
A45394 | But why is it ill laid? |
A45394 | By the way, would this be affirmed by the Diatribist of hearing Sermons, in case it should be taught, or assume to be a part of God''s worship? |
A45394 | Can the services of the Church being added make that criminous, which was innocent before? |
A45394 | Certainly it is; And if it be, hath it no other guilt by being so forbidden, above that which is onely not commanded? |
A45394 | Did not he receive the talent, the grace in vain? |
A45394 | Do not those passages take away all possibility of doubting, either of the religiousnesse of the Festival, or the institution by man and not by God? |
A45394 | Doth a hypocrite pretend to that which is acknowledgedly ill? |
A45394 | Doth he not tell us of some that did abuse the grace of God unto wantonnesse? |
A45394 | Doth that prejudge the observing of Christmass, supposing it certain( as I do suppose) that it was either of the Apostles or the succeeding Church? |
A45394 | For ought not the wicked man to fear punishment for his sins past, when God affirms solemnly there is no peace, no peace to such? |
A45394 | Here I demand what Mr. C. means by such an excess? |
A45394 | Here I must demand what he means by vain worships? |
A45394 | I demand in what words of the New Testament the weekly observation of this is commanded? |
A45394 | I reply, by demanding what it is, of which the Fathers say, that it hath neither power nor truth? |
A45394 | I shall demand, is that proposition universally true, so as to extend to every ceremonie in worship? |
A45394 | I shall then onely ask, whether Will- worship may so too? |
A45394 | If he can not think they have, why doth he lose time and gain nothing by the mention of them? |
A45394 | If he should not, then what can keep him from running into all excess of riot? |
A45394 | If it be not, why was this mentioned by one, who can distinguish betwixt true and false, colour and varnish, reality and appearance? |
A45394 | If it do, whether this be a carnal gratitude, and the mercenary way of the Romanists? |
A45394 | If it may, I demand again, whether the reward decreed to him in his election be not lookt on by him, and whether that do not excite this gratitude? |
A45394 | If the first offended not by being super statutum, how could the second or hundredth or thousandth repetition render it criminous? |
A45394 | If this differ from the third( as in reason it ought, else why should it be added to it?) |
A45394 | Is it more ordinary for the same men to be drunk upon Christmas day, then upon all, or upon any one Sunday in the year? |
A45394 | Is it standing, sitting, or kneeling, any, or all of these, or any fourth superadded to these? |
A45394 | Is not that distinctly forbidden in the first Commandment? |
A45394 | Is the mercenary way all one with the Romanists doctrine of merits? |
A45394 | Is there any appearance of reason to determine it to the former, in this place, or in that interpreters acception of it? |
A45394 | Is there no other possible use of grace but to condemn them, and render them unexcusable? |
A45394 | It hath not the least appearance of truth in it, for where did Christ reduce us to the fourth Commandment? |
A45394 | It is still a work of God''s good grace and strength in us,( for what hast thou which thou hast not received? |
A45394 | Nay is not that Faith which justifies, in this Diatribist''s opinion, the belief of the promises? |
A45394 | Nay, did not this observance continue among Christians for many ages? |
A45394 | Nay, would he pretend to it if it were not good? |
A45394 | Next he demands, If the Lords day was instituted by the Apostles of Christ, do not their institutions carry in them divine prescription or Law? |
A45394 | Now lastly, the matter of the present debate being only that of riot, what had superstition or profaneness( either or both) to do with that? |
A45394 | Or what rule of worship shall be appealed to? |
A45394 | Quid enim interest utrum Deos neges an infames? |
A45394 | Required? |
A45394 | So again for gestures in the worship of God, I demand, What is the gesture of prayer, prescribed by the Rule? |
A45394 | So in like manner from the 3d, which is but another repetition, put in form of question[ Why is the worship of Angels and Saints criminal? |
A45394 | Spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of Cedar? |
A45394 | T is true, all worshipping of Idols is forbidden in the 2d Commandment, but how come all uncommanded rites to be Idols? |
A45394 | The super statutum, every addition to the rule of worship, i. e. every uncommanded circumstance, or Ceremony in the worship of God? |
A45394 | Thus saith the Lord, shalt thou build me an house to dwell in? |
A45394 | To what purpose was all this waste of words and paper? |
A45394 | Was it not at the time of the first conversion of the Jews to Christianity? |
A45394 | What can be more evident then this? |
A45394 | What can be more visibly unjust then this? |
A45394 | What impiety of any Sect would want arguments to support it, if such as these might be admitted? |
A45394 | What is that again to the point in hand, that particular occasion of taking Will- worship in an ill sense? |
A45394 | What now followes in pursuit of this matter, Does God call all men at all times to martyrdome? |
A45394 | What then is the meaning of laying up the talent in the napkin, that was so punisht? |
A45394 | What was the suspicious phrase which I had used? |
A45394 | and can he so apply them, who doth not fear the execution of them? |
A45394 | and can none of these be done? |
A45394 | and is it not lawfull for us to come that very way which God hath called us? |
A45394 | and is not the contrary apprehension( i. e. fear) necessary to reduce him? |
A45394 | and may not a Christian then look at those promises, which yet he must believe? |
A45394 | and then what need of his capriccio,[ why? |
A45394 | and then what place for glorying?) |
A45394 | but because it was invented and added by the will of man?] |
A45394 | can Divines do well to apply superstitio to super statutum, when that is no way the nature of the word? |
A45394 | doth he mean bare will- devised, uncommanded worships, which have in his opinion no other crime in them, but their uncommandednesse? |
A45394 | hath it prescribed morning and evening Prayer, and that both positively, and exclusively to any more? |
A45394 | i. e. What in this whole matter shall bring me in any reward? |
A45394 | is it not as truly a positive action to conquer as to satisfie, to subdue as to glut my appetite? |
A45394 | is it not directly a way of tryall, whether will- worship be set by the Apostle in an ill notion? |
A45394 | not, may it not have a shew of wisdom or piety in respect of the Will- worship? |
A45394 | or did they not? |
A45394 | or if he doth, is not this carnal security? |
A45394 | shall love of God, or virtue? |
A45394 | should he fear, or should he not fear? |
A45394 | that indeed is thus far answered already, that he means an excess of Religion: But what excess in Religion? |
A45394 | that which is required in the commandments of the Law and Gospel?] |
A45394 | the Law of Moses, or the Gospel of Christ? |
A45394 | the plain importance of his words is, may it not be foolish or impious in respect of the Will- worship that is in it? |
A45394 | then false religion? |
A45394 | what I pray is the antecedent to which[ in the midst] relates? |
A45394 | what is or can be unreasonable, if this be not? |
A45394 | what was ever suggested by any disputer with lesse appearance of truth or probability? |
A45394 | when he knowes there is nothing to that sense said by him? |
A45394 | would he imagine that illegal offerings should have been sought out for it, to constitute it a religious feast? |
A45394 | would it presently be cast out as hurtfull and abominable? |
A45394 | would not his presence at the Feast have had the scandal of superstition, if the Feast it self had had that crime in it? |
A45394 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, but such shall have trouble to the flesh, and what can be more contrary to worldly good? |
A75017 | 18.31, 32. with what regrets and relentings do''s he think of abandoning them? |
A75017 | ALAS what human writing is there of near that Antiquity, wherein there are not many passages unintelligible? |
A75017 | AND hath God don nothing to get him a repute among us? |
A75017 | AND then in the second place, what calm can there be to such a mind? |
A75017 | And alas, what will it avail us that our opinions are right, if our manners be crooked? |
A75017 | And if it should happen to succeed in such a particular Church, yet what is that to the universal? |
A75017 | And if men would but universally conform to them, to what a blessed harmony would it tune the world? |
A75017 | And if the Jewish Church had no such right, upon what account can the Christian claim any? |
A75017 | And what Patron will not expect observance from one who thus subsists by him? |
A75017 | And when a thing is proper for such noble purposes, can it be the part of a wise man to apply it only to mean and trivial? |
A75017 | And when their perverseness frustrates all this his holy Artifice; how passionately do''s he expostulate with them? |
A75017 | And whence is all this caution but from a universal consent that writing is the surest way of transmitting? |
A75017 | BESIDES, admit it possible that so many could have join''d in the deceit, yet what imaginable end could they have in it? |
A75017 | BUT what human kindness is there that can come in any competition with the Divine? |
A75017 | BUT, besides all this, what shall we say, if the power it self of giving Licences be a mere shew, and really signifies just nothing? |
A75017 | But alas, what is the profoundest wisdom of men, compar''d with that of God? |
A75017 | But what are those things which we ought to enquire into? |
A75017 | But who ever laid down their lives in attestation of that, or any human composure, as multitudes of men have don for the Bible? |
A75017 | But yet with how much deeper anguish will it reflect on it self as the Author of that deprivation? |
A75017 | Can we think that they who rally upon all that the former Prophets have writ, would look with much reverence on what the new ones should say? |
A75017 | Do''s any Nation trust their fundamental Laws only to the memory of the present Age, and take no other course to transmit them to the future? |
A75017 | FIRST, for the predictions what signal completions do we find? |
A75017 | Fear ye not me saith the Lord? |
A75017 | For when Tradition was objected to him, he answers; Whence is this Tradition? |
A75017 | HOW impious a folly is it then in us, to Idolize human Wisdom with all its imperfections, and despise the divine? |
A75017 | Has Christ enlarg''d its Charter? |
A75017 | Hath a Nation changed their gods which yet are no gods? |
A75017 | How exactly are all the denunciations of judgments fulfil''d, where repentance has not interven''d? |
A75017 | How great a shame is it then for Christians to defalk that reverence from the true God, which heathens allow''d their false ones? |
A75017 | How ingenuously apt was Nathans Apologue to David, whereby with holy artifice he ensnar''d him into repentance? |
A75017 | How often are they upbraided with the better examples of the bruit creatures? |
A75017 | How shall I give thee up Ephraim? |
A75017 | How shall it be known that there was such a man as either Seller or Purchaser? |
A75017 | How will it recollect the many despis''d tenders of grace, the easy terms on which salvation might have bin had? |
A75017 | I ask then, had the Jewish Church by vertue of its being keeper, a power to supersede any part of those Oracles intrusted to them? |
A75017 | Is he not worthy to prescribe to his own creatures? |
A75017 | Is it possible that any men in their wits should be so stupidly credulous, as to incur the penalty of those Laws upon so improbable an indemnity? |
A75017 | Is this house which is called by my name become a den of robbers in your eies? |
A75017 | Many indeed have pretended impotency as a motive of compassion; but what could they gain by owning a cure they had not? |
A75017 | NOW what method imaginable can there be used to rational creatures of more force and energy? |
A75017 | Now at this rate of infidelity, what way will they leave God to manifest any thing convincingly to the world? |

A30576 | And what Wayes were they? |
A30576 | And what art thou, that thou shouldest keep a stir under any hand of God? |
A30576 | And what hath God yet come and strove with me again for all this Rejection? |
A30576 | And what then? |
A30576 | And who were these? |
A30576 | And why did they deride Him? |
A30576 | And why? |
A30576 | And you will say, How is this an Argument? |
A30576 | Are there a People that they are sent to, to whom do they offer Christ? |
A30576 | As for Instance, Peace between God and us: Why, what are we Enemies? |
A30576 | As if the Disciples should say, I indeed, If our Ministry prevails that we may bring Peace to Souls, we have enough: But what if not? |
A30576 | As now, I have for the present Health of Body: Where doth the good of the Health of my Body lie? |
A30576 | Ask a Dying Soul, what Peace with God is worth? |
A30576 | But I this day, in the Name of God demand of you, How came you to have this Peace? |
A30576 | But alas, You go with a barren Heart, and carry nothing at all: And why? |
A30576 | But how comes in the last, And the Poor receive the Gospel? |
A30576 | But how is it sanctified by the Word? |
A30576 | But now, What will satisfie the Soul of Jesus Christ for all this? |
A30576 | But now, because much may be said, As doth not God call at the Eleventh hour and the like? |
A30576 | But the Rulers, have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees, the Great Men, and the Rich Men, the Learned Men, Have they believed? |
A30576 | But you will say, How doth the Gospel discover so much of the Evil of sin? |
A30576 | But you will say, Why doth God send it, God knows it will not be entertain''d; it is not with God as it is with us, to go to a place at paradventures? |
A30576 | But, you will say, If it be thus, Why is it then that Ministers do Preach so much of our miserable Condition in which we are? |
A30576 | Can there be any thing to draw your Hearts away from it, that shall be Equal with this Good? |
A30576 | Can you bring unto them any Truths you have heard? |
A30576 | Can you say so now? |
A30576 | Can you say so? |
A30576 | Come about such a Work as this, to be an Embassador of Reconciliation from the Great God of Heaven and Earth? |
A30576 | Could there have been any thing more to reveal the evil of your sin, than this was? |
A30576 | Do I enjoy my fulness for God, yea or no? |
A30576 | Do I see Jesus Christ rejected by others? |
A30576 | Do you enjoy no Good? |
A30576 | Do''st thou thus requite the Lord, O foolish heart? |
A30576 | Doth it return from you? |
A30576 | Doth not God by this, some way, or other, help me against some sin? |
A30576 | Doth the Gospel go away from thee? |
A30576 | Doth the Gospel return again? |
A30576 | For the first, When hath a Man learned how to be full? |
A30576 | For what doth a Godly man see in Christ? |
A30576 | For what knowest thou, O Wife, whether thou shalt save thy Husband? |
A30576 | Go and make the heart of this People fat; but this was a mighty hard Message: How must this Prophet be prepared? |
A30576 | God gives you abundance in the neather Springs, but doth he give you the upper Springs too? |
A30576 | God he saith, Who is this that uttereth words without knowledge? |
A30576 | Hath He afflicted thee in thy Body, He might have afflicted thee in thy Soul? |
A30576 | Hath He afflicted thee in thy Estate, He might have afflicted thee in thy Body? |
A30576 | Hath He afflicted thee in thy Soul here, He might have sent thee down to Hell eternally? |
A30576 | Hath the Gospel had this end of it upon your Hearts? |
A30576 | Have I learned to be full? |
A30576 | Have any of them Believed on Him? |
A30576 | Have they known the Blessed things of the Gospel? |
A30576 | Have you found the Ministry of the Gospel to be powerful upon you, and to bring this Peace into you? |
A30576 | Here''s the Reason why they will do thus unto you, they will be far from entertaining of you, but will rather oppose you: Why? |
A30576 | How are they described? |
A30576 | How came God and your Souls to be Friends? |
A30576 | How is this an Argument that Christ is the Messias? |
A30576 | How shall I know that they are good to me? |
A30576 | How shall they Preach except they be sent? |
A30576 | I appeal to you this morning, as in the Name of God, Have these things been in your thoughts that have been spoken to you? |
A30576 | I beseech you, examine whether this be so in you or no? |
A30576 | I have an Estate, Wherein lies the good of it? |
A30576 | I have bestowed mercy upon you already, and how did you abuse it? |
A30576 | I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for us? |
A30576 | I put this to you in the Name of God, I say, Hath the Peace of the Gospel rested upon your Hearts? |
A30576 | I put this to your Souls, What Treaties hath there been between God and you? |
A30576 | I say, What do you account your Lives to consist in? |
A30576 | I, but what hath God revealed his Grace in Christ unto their Souls? |
A30576 | If I Live, Wherein lies the good of Life? |
A30576 | If a Man hath a great Gain, and it comes not in his present Possession, he thinks, What shall I have for my Forbearance? |
A30576 | If the Son of Peace be there, your Peace shall rest upon it: But what if not? |
A30576 | If there be any that will not Imbrace it? |
A30576 | If we account a firm and sure peace to be so sweet, would not we be willing to lay down our Lives? |
A30576 | In the mean time, I appeal this day in the Name of God to your Conscience; Have you learned to be full? |
A30576 | Is it possible that Jesus Christ, wheresoever He comes, should not be Entertain''d? |
A30576 | Is it so with thy heart? |
A30576 | Is it upon any within thy Dwelling- place, it might have been upon thy self? |
A30576 | Is the Gospel returned from thee? |
A30576 | Is the sight of God that, that should cause us humbly to submit? |
A30576 | Is there an Enmity between God and us? |
A30576 | It is not a New thing for the World to have such an Esteem of Ministers of the Gospel: And what do they do? |
A30576 | It may be the Lord hath some Souls in that place, He intends Eternal good unto: And wilt thou stand out against that, and cross God? |
A30576 | It may possibly be, that some will not receive your Ministry? |
A30576 | It''s a speech of Judas,( not of him that betrayed Christ) Lord, How is it that thou Revealest thy Self unto us, and not unto the World? |
A30576 | It''s true, I have these things, but what are these things to the portion of an Immortal Soul; is there not a vanity in all these things in the world? |
A30576 | John would know whether He was the Messiah: How shall he know it? |
A30576 | Lastly, Is this true, That God sends the Preaching of the Gospel where he sees it will and doth not prevail with many? |
A30576 | Let him know, saith he, that he that Converteth a sinner from the Errour of his Way, Let him know: What shall he know? |
A30576 | Mark, Receive with Meekness the Word: But how? |
A30576 | Mark, They were thus taken with the Truths of the Gospel, when they were first Preached: But now, saith Paul, Where is the Blessedness ye spake of? |
A30576 | Ninthly, And then lastly, We shall enjoy what is in Christ without any Intermission: What''s the reason of any Intermission here? |
A30576 | Now I have al things about me, but can I now, if God should call me to suffer poverty, could I be content to be laid in a Prison for his Name sake? |
A30576 | Now have you sold all? |
A30576 | Now how comes this? |
A30576 | Now if God knows that before a Man comes, it will not be entertain''d, why doth God send it? |
A30576 | Now let every one of you lay his hand upon his Heart, and think thus with himself; Is it I? |
A30576 | Now saith the Apostle, To me to live is Christ: Will you take Life in this sense, that is, for a Comfortable, a Contented, a Joyful life? |
A30576 | Now then, Is that the main thing? |
A30576 | Now what an unseemly thing is this, among those who profess themselves Christians? |
A30576 | Now you will say, What Paul? |
A30576 | Now, Is not this worth any ones Labour and Life? |
A30576 | Now, hadst thou as much as all the Saints ever had, were not that Gain? |
A30576 | Now: When was that Now? |
A30576 | O Repent and Turn from your sins; Why? |
A30576 | O my Soul, where are they? |
A30576 | O the Hearts of People were mightily stirred, ever since the dayes of John Baptist; and why? |
A30576 | O, do you shew forth the Power and Efficacy of the Ministry of the Gospel, of that Ministry of mine upon you: Why? |
A30576 | Or how knowest thou, O Man, whether thou shalt save thy Wife? |
A30576 | Or thou, O Husband, whether thou shalt save thy Wife? |
A30576 | Or thou, O Servant, whether thou mayest save thy Fellow- Servant? |
A30576 | Or whether those Men that are serviceable to the Great Ends of God, in setting forth the Honour of Jesus Christ? |
A30576 | Secondly, Can there be next unto this, a greater Encouragement, than to be an Instrument of good to our Brethren, of good to Mankind? |
A30576 | Sin: Why are there any Men in the World that have no sin? |
A30576 | So they did to the Prophets and Apostles: Elisha, Art not thou the troubler of Israel? |
A30576 | So, Dost thou thus requite the Lord, hath God made thy condition more comfortable than anothers? |
A30576 | Some times you will speak in way of Indignation, What do you think me a Heathen, a Turk? |
A30576 | That Scripture speaks of a Promise of Eternal Life before the World began: How could there be a Promise before the World began? |
A30576 | That Sweetness and Comfort thou hast in communion with Christ at any time, thou shalt have it at all times: And how good is that? |
A30576 | The Lord saith thus to Job: Who is this whose heart doth fret and is so impatient, who is it? |
A30576 | The Lord was patient with my Father many Years, and why may not I venture as he did? |
A30576 | The Ministry of the Gospel, it is the great Gift of Jesus Christ, that He gave when He Ascended on high: And to what end did He give it? |
A30576 | The Patience of God doth Lead to Repentance; Then what might the Grace of God do, that is held out in the Gospel? |
A30576 | There comes a young man running to Christ, and saith, Good Master, what shall I do to Inherit Eternal Life? |
A30576 | They can Die daily unto the World: Why? |
A30576 | They have been rejected all in their Ministry, and what art thou that thou canst not bear any Rejection? |
A30576 | Think but of this one thing, and it will make you Thankful; when you are in your Families, What have I to do in the Morning when I rise? |
A30576 | Those Men that are the most Rebellious, yet Christ hath received Gifts for them: What Gifts? |
A30576 | Thou hast a Table well furnished, but how do''st thou know but that it is a snare for thee, and a trap? |
A30576 | Thy House is full, and thy Estate, but what''s thy Heart in the mean time? |
A30576 | Thy conscience shall not upbraid thee, as others will; Thou comest to God for mercy, What come to me for mercy? |
A30576 | To whom could it be made? |
A30576 | We know that you are those whom God hath Eternally Elected: How do you know that? |
A30576 | Well, How doth God the Father send Christ? |
A30576 | Were they not made fuel for your lusts, and serviceable to your wickedness? |
A30576 | Were you in the Counsel of God, in Gods Treasury, to know what His Thoughts were: How can you tell the Election of God? |
A30576 | What Phisicians have you had? |
A30576 | What art thou more than Jesus Christ thy Master? |
A30576 | What art thou more than Paul and other of the Apostles? |
A30576 | What do you account your Lives to be? |
A30576 | What do you mean, when you say that Christ doth teach his people to know how to be full? |
A30576 | What do you think will become of you, when your fulness shall be taken from you? |
A30576 | What doth God aim at, why I should have a prosperous estate and others not? |
A30576 | What great Evil wil follow upon this? |
A30576 | What hast thou done with them? |
A30576 | What have you to help their troubled Consciences, and to pacifie them? |
A30576 | What is that acceptable time? |
A30576 | What is there between God and my Family? |
A30576 | What shall the Lord send Embassadors of Peace? |
A30576 | What then? |
A30576 | What will you get away all my estate and make me a begger? |
A30576 | What would not we do to purchase a good and sure Peace here in the Kingdom? |
A30576 | What''s that? |
A30576 | What''s the Reason why Men and Women, when they go to Visit their Sick Neighbours, they are so Barren in their Conference, they say, How do you? |
A30576 | What''s the Wise more than the Fool? |
A30576 | What''s the reason of Ecclipses? |
A30576 | What, Is this the Errand that I am sent about, to go and Preach the Gospel, that brings Life and Immortality to light? |
A30576 | What, dost thou apprehend God as an Enemy? |
A30576 | What, shall such a glorious Gospel be preached in vain? |
A30576 | What, shall the precious Blood of Jesus Christ be shed in vain? |
A30576 | What? |
A30576 | When Christ came to Jerusalem, He falls a Weeping: Upon what ground? |
A30576 | When God sent Paul to Preach, there was a great deal of Opposition: Well, saith God, for all that Opposition, you shall Preach in this place: Why? |
A30576 | When John began to preach Christ, you know what he said: Now is the Axe lay''d to the root of the Tree: And why now more than before? |
A30576 | When there is a Promise made, there must be some body to receive it? |
A30576 | When thou shalt have eaten and be full( saith the Text) what then? |
A30576 | When was there ever a Kingdom upon the Face of the Earth, that hath had longer continuance of outward Peace, than England hath had? |
A30576 | When we come to bring the Pearl of the Gospel to you, have you embrac''d it? |
A30576 | Wherefore learn by this, Not to be too Sudden, nor so Peremptory, in the judging of Gods Administrations: Why? |
A30576 | Whether you can say as the Apostle here did, To me to live is Christ? |
A30576 | Which are the Men that God accounts most Happy? |
A30576 | Who art thou? |
A30576 | Who do you account to be the Men that live the brave Lives in the World? |
A30576 | Who doth believe it? |
A30576 | Why I do enjoy these and these outward comforts; from whence have I these? |
A30576 | Why I have it saith Paul: Where had Paul such a Joyful and Contented life? |
A30576 | Why are Temptations so strong? |
A30576 | Why were they not prepared to God? |
A30576 | Why what is become of all thy Stirrings, and of all those Resolutions and Truths, that thou hast heard? |
A30576 | Why would Christ have His Disciples to be Uncivil, not so much to Salute Men in a civil way? |
A30576 | Why, did Christ coming bring sin to them? |
A30576 | Why, from whence was it, was it not from the Lord? |
A30576 | Why? |
A30576 | Why? |
A30576 | Why? |
A30576 | Why? |
A30576 | Why? |
A30576 | Will not these be sad thoughts another day? |
A30576 | With what face can you cry to me for mercy, that have abus''d it so? |
A30576 | Would this be good Answer? |
A30576 | Would you have a Salve that should do good to an Affected Member? |
A30576 | Yea, perhaps the very Father, out of whose Loyns the poor Child comes, will deride him: What shall we have of you now? |
A30576 | Yea, saith the Apostle, For what knowest thou, O Wife, whether thou shalt save thy Husband? |
A30576 | You have Liv''d under the Ministry of the Gospel a long time, what is become of them? |
A30576 | You have an Affliction, but have you no Mercies? |
A30576 | You will say, How long shall he continue so? |
A30576 | You will say, How quick will the Lord be in the wayes of his Mercy? |
A30576 | You will say, If it be so much Gain, why should any be so desirous to Live? |
A30576 | You will say, Is this so great a matter? |
A30576 | You will say, What is it that any Believer can have in lieu of his Forbearance of that Gain? |
A30576 | Your Hearts are not now so taken with the Gospel, as they were at first; now you seem to be taken off from it: Where is the Blessedness you spake of? |
A30576 | Your Peace shall be upon it: What''s that? |
A30576 | am I the Woman to whom Jesus Christ shall be Preached, and shall not prevail? |
A30576 | and do you so? |
A30576 | and doth not this Recompence you for the trouble that you suffer, and the loss of your Estates? |
A30576 | and it is in vain in respect of many Souls, and shall it be in respect of my Soul? |
A30576 | have you thus bought the Pearl? |
A30576 | it was a Sermon of the most Mercy that ever I heard in my life; I say, Was it so? |
A30576 | verse, Job takes up the very words to himself, that God had before spoken: Saith Job, Who is he that hideth Counsel without Knowledge? |
A30576 | what most dreadful Evils? |
A30576 | wilt thou add to the dishonour of the Gospel too? |
A90402 | 2. Who is this that darkeneth Counsel by words without knowledg? |
A90402 | 3. Who is he that hideth Conncel without knowledge? |
A90402 | Ah poor man I why dost thou cozen thy self? |
A90402 | And lastly, Let me put this one thing more to thee; What Dispensation thinkest thou are we under at present? |
A90402 | And now what shall I say to you, my dear ones? |
A90402 | As touching the first, Whether we have attained to such a Dispensation, as we may walk on comfortably in? |
A90402 | But how come they to drink this wine? |
A90402 | But how knowest thou, O vain man, that it ariseth from any of these? |
A90402 | But tell me, O poor Soul, can not the natural understanding drink in all these things? |
A90402 | But what became of this glory? |
A90402 | But where is it now? |
A90402 | Can any else but he heal? |
A90402 | Can he heal? |
A90402 | Canst thou say that a present Oppression is not determined concerning thee by him who hath power to dispose of all things? |
A90402 | Dost thou not know it is against thine own Soul? |
A90402 | Doth thy Reason tell thee so? |
A90402 | Every man almost can tell what God means in every thing: this, God intends in this; this, in that: Is such a man afflicted so or so? |
A90402 | For the second, Whether we are to expect a Restoration of the the Primitive State, or no? |
A90402 | From whence did any true Life and Power flow at first, and whither is it now retired? |
A90402 | Had I not better fall a weeping over you? |
A90402 | Hath it thriven, or decayed? |
A90402 | How can any mans stomack forbear nauseating such kind of persons? |
A90402 | How carnal and defective in practise? |
A90402 | How come so many then to lose the lives of their spirits in such Relations? |
A90402 | How comest thou to be so subtle a Sophister? |
A90402 | How dark must it needs be, when the whole vision of God is become as a sealed book, that none, either unlearned or learned, can read any part of it? |
A90402 | How subject to be shaken in doctrine? |
A90402 | If these things be done to the green tree, what will become of the dry? |
A90402 | If thou labourest for Freedom with all thy might, and a greater power oppose, what wilt thou gain by the contest? |
A90402 | In what state hath it been? |
A90402 | In what state is it? |
A90402 | Is it alive, or dead? |
A90402 | Is it not gone? |
A90402 | Is not the glory of all sorts of men fallen? |
A90402 | Let me ask thee yet again, Whence this cure is to be expected, and can alone be had? |
A90402 | MY dear Heart, mine own Soul; what shall I call thee? |
A90402 | Nay, is it possible to be recovered? |
A90402 | O what a strange thing is love among Christians? |
A90402 | Or are we to expect any other state promised in the Scripture, and( as some say) experienced by themselves, which this is to give way unto? |
A90402 | Patience, Humility, Meekness of spirit,& c. where do they grow? |
A90402 | Thy love, what is become of it? |
A90402 | What Life and Vigour in Prayer? |
A90402 | What Sweetness, Meekness, Patience, Humility, Faith, Love,& c. did appear in Christians a while ago? |
A90402 | What a poor state were the Churches in, even in the Apostles times? |
A90402 | What inward searching of heart, and outward strictness of conversation? |
A90402 | What is there of these left within, in the heart, when there is such a general complaint, that they are not to be found in the lives of Professors? |
A90402 | What man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? |
A90402 | What, is your Religion of the right coyn? |
A90402 | Wherein two particulars would be distinctly considered, The thing it self, whether such a thing is to be or no? |
A90402 | Whether Religion hath not received a wound in the inward part of it, since this Contestation about outward things, and the outward part of Religion? |
A90402 | Whether have we attained that Light, that Life, that Power, by which we are to walk, and under which we may comfortably sit down? |
A90402 | Who comes near it? |
A90402 | Who hath required this at your hands? |
A90402 | Who is it that hath wounded? |
A90402 | Who is this? |
A90402 | Whom do ye embrace in your bosoms, your true Love, or a stranger? |
A90402 | Whom shall he teach knowledg? |
A90402 | Why do ye so often remove your eyes from one sort of men to another? |
A90402 | Why doth it not do it in Scotland, where it hath scope and power enough? |
A90402 | Will Independency or Anabaptism do it? |
A90402 | Will Presbytery do it? |
A90402 | and is not this a just occasion of lamentation? |
A90402 | and whom shall he make to understand Doctrine? |
A90402 | but what value have my tears above my words? |
A90402 | hath it the stamp of your King, or is it counterfeit? |
A90402 | how quickly will the unquenchable fire devour such stubble? |
A90402 | how will these stand against the tempest? |
A90402 | or who gave thee liberty to vent thine own Imagination concerning so intricate a passage as thine eyes never met with before? |
A90402 | that takes so much upon him, that will be opening the Counsels of God, and yet hath not knowledg? |
A90402 | what wilt thou do, when thou shalt meet with this Wo? |
A90402 | when that Spirit that breathed life into it shall not only withdraw from it, but blow sharply upon it? |
A90402 | when thou findest by sensible and undeniable experience that which thou thoughtest utterly impossible? |
A90402 | when thou shalt not only find thy glorious beauty a fading, but the Spirit of the Lord blowing upon it with a strong East wind? |
A93368 | & c. The poore soule is ready to say; if the Lord bee with us, why then is all this befalne us? |
A93368 | As soone as he saw his infirm ● ty, he had other thoughts of God, saying, Who is so great a God as our God? |
A93368 | But Gideon said, Oh my Lord, if the Lord bee with us, why then is all this fallen upon us? |
A93368 | Can a woman forget her sucking childe? |
A93368 | Can all the love- tokens, or testimonial rings, and bracelets? |
A93368 | Can babes worke? |
A93368 | Can reason conceive how the dead, who are eaten with beasts and fishes, and turned into dust, can be raised unto life? |
A93368 | Consider if Hemans, Jobs, Davids and Jeremiahs condition did not runne Parallel with thine; saith Heman, Lord, why castest thou off my soule? |
A93368 | Dost thou apprehend thy selfe an enemy to God? |
A93368 | Dost thou know Gods means, and the number of them? |
A93368 | Doth God invite you to come, and are you afraid? |
A93368 | For which of Gods loving kindnesses and rich mercies hast thou taken up such hard thoughts of him, to nourish Jealousies against his love? |
A93368 | Have I beene as a wildernesse unto Israel? |
A93368 | Have you not rested in the means? |
A93368 | Have you used the means in a right manner, measure, time, and in sincerity? |
A93368 | Have you used them in faith, waiting for Gods blessing upon them? |
A93368 | Have your ends been good, and rightly placed? |
A93368 | How doe men prize the dust of Gold? |
A93368 | I will save you, saith the Lord, from all your uncleannes; what is the effect of this? |
A93368 | Is Christ the Sun of Righteousnesse set in thy soul? |
A93368 | Is it likely or possible to reason for a man to walke upon the sea, or Peter did? |
A93368 | Poore soule I would be acquainted how thou camest to know thou hast an hard heart; who told thee so? |
A93368 | Reason within thy selfe; Why art thou cast downe, O my soule, and disquieted within me? |
A93368 | Shal I give my first borne for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? |
A93368 | Shal a man fall and not arise? |

A65610 | And therefore the common excuse of such twatlers is this: I hope that it is no harm: yea, but what good was it? |
A65610 | And to increase our pity, when they have done they ask,[ What harm is there in cards and dice, in stage- playes and Romances? |
A65610 | And when he saw him fit for an admonition, would wisely bestow it upon him? |
A65610 | And whether God have not only the leavings of your flesh? |
A65610 | And whether those things which should have none, and those which should have little, have not almost all? |
A65610 | And whether you may do less for God, because he giveth you more than others? |
A65610 | And why then in Baptism did you renounce them and vow to follow Christ? |
A65610 | And will you yet live so contrary to your prayers, to your consciences, and to reason it self? |
A65610 | And yet have you Time to spare on Vanity? |
A65610 | Are you regenerate and rènewed to the Heavenly nature? |
A65610 | Are you strong and stablished in grace? |
A65610 | Are your hearts in Heaven? |
A65610 | As if he had said Ho, Sir, it is time to get up; what not out of your b ● d yet, at this time of the day? |
A65610 | Believe it, O man and Woman, it is to do all that ever must be done, to prepare for an everlasting life? |
A65610 | But alas, how do the common sort of men bewray their monstrous folly in this behalf? |
A65610 | But if you say, Yea; I pray you then tell us how much Time Christ or any of his Apostles, did spend at cards, or dice, or stage- playes? |
A65610 | Did they waste so much of the day, in nothings, and need- nots as our slothful sensual Gentry do? |
A65610 | Did you ever find such a prayer in any Prayer book? |
A65610 | Do you believe that you must give an account of your Time? |
A65610 | Do you consider well the shortness and uncertainty of your Time? |
A65610 | Do you know who attendeth you while you are loitering away your Time? |
A65610 | Do you mark what dying men say of Time, and how they value it? |
A65610 | Do you really take Christ, and his Apostles and Saints, to be the fittest pattern for the spending of your time? |
A65610 | Do you sober ● y consider, what work you have for all your time? |
A65610 | Do you think if you neglect and lose your Time, that ever you should come again into this world, to spend it better? |
A65610 | Doth it not awaken and amaze thy soul, to think what it is to be for ever; I say, for ever, in Ioy or Misery? |
A65610 | Doth it not tell you what you have to do, and call upon you to dispatch it? |
A65610 | First, he calls him up( as it were) saying; How long wilt thou sleep, when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep? |
A65610 | For do we not plainly see, what a canker it is in a number of mens lives? |
A65610 | For do we not see, that in many places, whole dayes are cast away in the deep gulf of roving, and unprofitable runnagate- babling to no purpose? |
A65610 | For when wisdom laughes a man to scorn, whither shall he repair for succour? |
A65610 | Gentlemen and Ladies, I envy not your pleasures: I have my self a body with its proper appetites, which would be gratified, as well as you? |
A65610 | Give not all( ah, why should we give any of it?) |
A65610 | Had you not rather that it had been spent in fruitful holiness and good works, than in idleness and fleshly pleasures? |
A65610 | Have you deeply considered that everlasting condition is, which all your Time is given you to prepare for? |
A65610 | Have you made sure of pardon and salvation? |
A65610 | Have you no more useful Recreations? |
A65610 | Have you not a God to serve? |
A65610 | Have you not an outward calling to follow? |
A65610 | Have you not death and judgement to prepare for? |
A65610 | Have you not servants and children to instruct and educate( And O what a deal of labour do ● h their ignorance and obstinacy require? |
A65610 | How can it chuse but be a great hinderance to a mans estate to sleep in harvest, and to be in bed at such a time, when so much wealth is bestowing? |
A65610 | How can one have treasure in Heaven, that never laid up any there? |
A65610 | How can you chuse but tremble when you think how you spend your dai ● s? |
A65610 | How do you now wish that you had spent the Time which is already past? |
A65610 | How full of grace should his old age and sickness be, that would give his health to God, and his first years to the service of his soul? |
A65610 | How great acquaintance might he get in the palace of Wisdom, that would come to her at her first call, and enter so soon as the doors were set open? |
A65610 | How many false opinions have you to be untaught? |
A65610 | How many fervent prayers might he store up in heaven that would not fore- slow time, when he feels his desires earnest? |
A65610 | How many graces to be obtained? |

A65610 | How many weighty lessons to learn? |
A65610 | How many winter nights do men suffer themselves to be robbed of, by this childish babling? |
A65610 | How much thankfulness might he have, that would lift up his heart to God in the fruition of blessing? |
A65610 | How often and how earnestly are men exhorted to all good works by the continual voice of God, speaking unto them by his servants? |
A65610 | How ordinarily do good and bad then wish, that they had spent Time better, and cry out, O that it were to spend again? |
A65610 | How short is your abode in your present dwelling like to be, in comparison of your abode in dust and darkness? |
A65610 | How think you the miserable souls in Hell would value Time, if they were again sent hither, and tryed with it again on the terms as we are? |
A65610 | If not, you have not so much as a shadow of Repentance; and therefore can have no just conceit that you are forgiven? |
A65610 | If this be so, I am not reprehending you; But I beseech you consider, Have you ● o ● souls to regard as well as others? |
A65610 | If yea, then why will you do that for the Time to come, which you wish for the time past that you had never done? |
A65610 | If you do not your work well, shall you ever come again to mend it? |
A65610 | If you do not, why do you usurp the name of Christians: Is he a Christian who would not live like Christians? |
A65610 | If you do, what account will then be most comfortab ● y to you? |
A65610 | If you have no pains or sickness to admonish you, do you not know what a fragile thing is fl ● sh? |
A65610 | If you idle away this life, will God ever give you another here? |
A65610 | Is it easie to get a solid faith? |
A65610 | Is it not lawful to use such and such recreations?] |
A65610 | Is it nothing to order and govern your hearts? |
A65610 | Is the Devil idle while you are idle? |
A65610 | Is the work that you were made for hitherto well done? |
A65610 | Is your Recreation but as the Mowers whe ● ting of his sythe? |
A65610 | Look back on all your Time that is past, and tell me whether it made not haste? |
A65610 | Must you stay on earth so short a time, and have you any of this little time to spare? |
A65610 | Now what a miserable loss is it when a man is robbed of his time, and of his heart both at once? |
A65610 | O what a heart hath that stupified sinner, that can ● idle away that little Time, which is allotted him to prepare for his everlasting state? |
A65610 | O what a large encrease of grace would this care bring? |
A65610 | Sometimes, if men see their servants standing idle and unbusied, they can ask them with a kind of indignation, What, can you find nothing to do? |
A65610 | Tell me, or tell your consciences, How would you form such a prayer to God for your recovery if you were now sick? |
A65610 | That knoweth he shall have but this hastly life to win or lose eternal Glory in, and can play it away as if he had nothing to do with it? |
A65610 | The worth of Time, is for the work that is to be done in Time? |
A65610 | Then for idle thoughts; who makes question of them almost? |
A65610 | They let pass all good opportunities, and care not for any occasion for the soul, and how can their soul thrive? |
A65610 | What great grace would affliction bring, if a man would settle himself to humiliation, and gage his heart in time of affliction? |

A65610 | Will not graves and bones, and dust instruct you? |
A65610 | Will not the tolling of the Bell instruct you? |
A65610 | Will you take it for a satisfactory answer? |
A65610 | Would they feast it away, and play it away as you do now; and then say, Are not playes and cards and feasting lawful? |
A65610 | Would you say, Lord give me a little more Time to play at cards and dice in? |
A65610 | Yea so much of it as you daily waste, in idleness, play and vain curiosity? |

A41838 | I may say as Jeremiah said, The heart is deceitfull above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? |
A41838 | I think it is more suitable to be e ● quiring after duty under a crosse, than to 〈 ◊ 〉 enquiring how to escape out from under it? |

A41838 | If we were asked at, When did we last behold him? |
A41838 | If you would ask what ● s the great and eminent exercise which a Christian ought to have while he is here below? |
A41838 | If ● ny man be afflicted, let him pray,& c. And what made Paul and Silas to sing in the prison, and so patiently to endure the crosse? |
A41838 | Is it not Christs pre ● ence which makes heaven pleasant? |
A41838 | Is it not Christs presence which makes afflictions pleasant? |
A41838 | Is it ● ot Christs presence which makes a wilderness ● ike the garden of the Lord? |
A41838 | Is not this mystery to turn over your promises into prayers, and your prayers into songs of praise? |
A41838 | Is there any here that is put to that question? |
A41838 | Is there any person that hath confidence or perswasion tha ● God will quickly sheath the sword which he hath drawn against us? |
A41838 | Is there not much in heaven 〈 ◊ 〉 comfort them against their crosses? |
A41838 | Is 〈 ◊ 〉 not Christs presence which makes a crown of ● horns a crown of joy? |
A41838 | Much more 〈 … 〉 ay we say, whence is it that our Lord himself should come to us? |
A41838 | No 〈 … 〉 what is the end and scope that ye propose 〈 ◊ 〉 fore your selves in your going about the exe ● cise of that duty of prayer? |
A41838 | Now what shall we say more? |
A41838 | Now, what doth he require and call for a ● your hands? |
A41838 | Now, what hin ● ers them to make application of this threatning? |
A41838 | O Christians, what are ye 〈 … 〉 solved to do? |
A41838 | O do wee not think that God is not half so good as his word under the crosse? |
A41838 | O what makes Christians pray so weakly? |
A41838 | O who would hold out ● uch a precio 〈 … 〉 guest? |
A41838 | O will not Christ sweetly resolve that question, Is there any person that hath this question, Who is Christ that I may believe in him? |
A41838 | O? |
A41838 | Oh, may we not walk mournfully many daies in the bitterness of our souls, because we are not more in the exercise of secret prayer? |
A41838 | Oh? |
A41838 | Or can an oliv ● tree bear figs? |
A41838 | Or is there any 〈 … 〉 cret thing with you, that ye do so little p 〈 … 〉 sue after these things? |
A41838 | Or when was hea 〈 … 〉 brought down ● o you? |
A41838 | Or whether they be 〈 … 〉 ore mysterious to us in our practice and o 〈 … 〉 dience? |
A41838 | Or 〈 ◊ 〉 love him as he ought to be loved? |
A41838 | Secondly, Do ye never go to prayer but when ye are in a praying frame? |
A41838 | Secondly, Doth not t 〈 … 〉 wound that he got in his left hand, preach th 〈 … 〉 doctrine, My son, give me thy heart? |
A41838 | Secondly, That the heart is desperatly wicked, who can know it? |
A41838 | Secondly, Why would you not give me your hearts? |
A41838 | Secondly,( O atheists) do ye believe that there is a heaven and a hell, and an eternity of pain, and a day of judgment? |
A41838 | Should the living seek the dead, and not their God, who giveth ● nto all men all things liberally to enjoy? |
A41838 | The fourth question which Christ can best resolve, is that question which Paul had, What wilt thou have me to do? |
A41838 | The last case which Christ can sweetly resolve, is in the word before the Text, Wherewith shall I come before the Lord? |
A41838 | The second case which Christ hath exceeding good skill to resolve, is this, Who is the Lord that I may believe in him? |
A41838 | The third case or question which Christ hath exceeding good skill to resolve, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternall life? |
A41838 | The third consideration is, did ye ever finde any difficulty to believe, or to pray, or to love God? |
A41838 | The third sort of blasphemy is, when wee call God weak; there are sometimes we are brought to that, Is there no balm in Gilead? |
A41838 | The third voice wherewith God presses people to their duty, is by the voice of promises, what is the great voice of the Covenant of promises? |
A41838 | There are some that let Christ threaten them what he will; they are still in the dark, and cry out, O what doth Christ mean ● y this threatning? |
A41838 | They have taken away my gods, and what have I more? |
A41838 | Think ye to pursue and win God ● y your fair blossoms and florishing Rhetorick, gallantness and fineness of expressions? |
A41838 | Thirdly Doth not the wound that he received in his pr ● cious side, preach this soul- concerning doctrine My son, give me thy heart? |
A41838 | Thirdly, Did yee ever finde any delight in praising and commending of him? |
A41838 | Was it not his seri 〈 … 〉 nesse and fervency? |
A41838 | Was it not wh 〈 … 〉 they were upon Mount Tabor, and did see 〈 ◊ 〉 fashion of his face change before them? |
A41838 | Was it not ● his, They were praying at midnight? |
A41838 | Was it ● ot when he was in the exercise of prayer, and ● ffering up his evening oblation to God? |
A41838 | Was it ● ot when he was praying? |
A41838 | Was 〈 ◊ 〉 not when he had seen the Bride, the Lam 〈 … 〉 wife adorned? |
A41838 | We confesse, it is a question that is difficult to determine whether prayer or faith doth keep love most in exercise? |
A41838 | What divine ● onformity and likenesse to the Lords blessed ● ● d glorious Image might we attain to by this? |
A41838 | What is more 〈 … 〉 eadfull then power which can not be resisted? |
A41838 | What joy in the holy Ghost? |
A41838 | What know ye, I say, but that may be the last call from heaven that ever ye shall get to pray? |
A41838 | What mortification of our idols? |
A41838 | What was it that made way Jacobs enlargements? |

A09970 | 13. was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized into the name of Paul? |

A09970 | 3. last, All things are yours; but upon what ground? |
A09970 | 37. of those who were prickt in their hearts, crying out, what shall we do to bee saved? |
A09970 | 4 Againe, dost thou not desire that there were no God? |
A09970 | 5 Againe, dost thou not lie in some sin which thou knowest is a sinne? |
A09970 | 5. and bidden us come with an empty hand? |
A09970 | 51. cries out of his broken bones, and why? |
A09970 | 51. how doth he hate it? |
A09970 | 6 where we find him trembling and astonished, and saying, Lord what wil ● thou have me doe? |
A09970 | 6. and the three last verses, and the beginning of the seventh Chapter, he is conversant among them; But you will say, is he not every where else? |
A09970 | 9. the Apostle says, Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdome of God? |
A09970 | A carnall man and a regenerate man differ mainely, in this; that a carnall man, when hee is to doe any thing, askes what good will this bring to me? |
A09970 | Againe secondly, I aske thee who is thy husband? |
A09970 | Againe, Art thou fallen into poverty, into sicknes, into disgrace? |
A09970 | Againe, I aske thee, what is it makes thee resolve to come in at death? |
A09970 | Againe, I would aske thee, if this bee not also thy disposition, that thou hast no great delight to be where the Lord is? |
A09970 | Againe, hath hee not beene satisfied and paid for our sinnes by CHRIST? |
A09970 | Againe, if thou beest persecuted, and hast enemies to deale with( as who hath not that liveth godlily? |
A09970 | Againe, secondly what doest thou, when there is a separation made, a partition betwixt the businesse of the Lord, and thine owne credit? |
A09970 | And as CHRIST said, shall not I drinke of the Cup which my Father hath mingled? |
A09970 | And doe you thinke that a little cast time spent upon it will be enough? |
A09970 | And if you aske how you shall discerne you doe any thing faithfully? |
A09970 | And let not any man complaine that he loseth a daies work; for is there any work so necessary, as the salvation of the soule? |
A09970 | And now what rests, but that these Treatises crave shadow& protection from you, nay owne you for their Patron? |
A09970 | And secondly, how much is there in that Word[ Crucified for you?] |
A09970 | And shall we be discouraged for this? |
A09970 | And the tryall of that lyeth especially upon this, what you make your utmost end? |
A09970 | And what are the reasons why God respecteth humble men so? |
A09970 | Art not thou the Lords servant? |
A09970 | Art thou a Scholler, and hast studies to bring to perfection? |
A09970 | As if he should have said to Moses, wouldest thou know the very inward disposition and frame of my soule? |
A09970 | As if he should say, will you not believe? |
A09970 | As if thou hast such a journey to go, say, yea but what sayes my husband to it? |
A09970 | Aske thy heart, is it for the Lord, or for thy selfe? |
A09970 | Be not discouraged then: what though the storme grow great and violent? |
A09970 | Besides the things without, that which commeth on me daily, the care of all the Churches; who is offended, and I burne not? |
A09970 | But I may pray? |
A09970 | But here the great objection is, how it is possible for a man, not to seeke his owne happinesse, safety and advantage? |
A09970 | But how shal that be done? |
A09970 | But how shall I know what opinion I have of my selfe? |
A09970 | But how shall a man be perswaded of this Gods readinesse to forgive? |
A09970 | But how will he do it? |
A09970 | But is a man bound to seeke God in every thing? |
A09970 | But may not a man in his actions have an eye to God, and himselfe also? |
A09970 | But may not a man make his owne happinesse his end, and doe what hee doth for his owne perfection? |
A09970 | But may not a man provide for himselfe? |
A09970 | But now the maine question is, how shall wee know whether we make the Lord our utmost end or no? |
A09970 | But that you may doe this the more willingly, consider why men are ashamed of this profession, why? |
A09970 | But then how should wee bee sanctified? |
A09970 | But then if this objection come, why? |
A09970 | But what is this turning with a mans whole heart? |
A09970 | But you wil say, how may I bring my heart to feare the Lord? |
A09970 | But you will aske, what it is to stirre up our graces? |
A09970 | But you will object and say, can sinnes that have been committed cease to have beene committed, or cease to have been sins? |
A09970 | But you will say, how can wee doe this, seeing it is the LORD that workes in us the will and the deed, and wee can doe nothing without the Spirit? |
A09970 | But you will say, how is it, that calamities thus follow upon sinne? |
A09970 | But you will say, how shall we doe to bring our heart to this? |
A09970 | But you will say, is it not good to get that sensible stirring sence and sight of sinne? |
A09970 | But you will say, is it possible, that I should bee forgiven, that have committed so many sinnes, so great, so hainous, and continued so long in them? |
A09970 | But you will say, what doe you preach damnation to me? |
A09970 | But you will say, what is to be put in? |
A09970 | But you will say, who are those wicked men? |
A09970 | But you will say: how shall wee get downe our stubborne hearts? |
A09970 | By truth: but what truth? |
A09970 | Can any unregenerate man in the world say, it is not I, but sin? |
A09970 | Can the wall say, it hath brought forth the beames that the Sun hath cast upon it? |
A09970 | Cleanse your hearts yee sinners,& c. but how should we doe it, would some say? |
A09970 | Consider further the equity of it; for did not he the same for thee, which he requires of thee? |
A09970 | Consider therefore in any busines thou doest, why thou doest it? |
A09970 | Consider therefore these things seriously, and bring them home to your hearts; for to what end doe we preach? |
A09970 | Consider whether thou doest them faithfully? |
A09970 | Consider whether thou seekest thine owne things, or the things of IESUS CHRIST? |
A09970 | Couldst thou not bee content that there were no heaven, no GOD, no Iudge at the last? |
A09970 | Couldst thou not bee content to live for ever in this world, so that thou were happy here, and so there were no hell? |
A09970 | Did it come from Gods providence, or not? |
A09970 | Do you think it a small matter, to take an oath of God partly and in any degree in vaine? |
A09970 | Doe you provoke the Lord to anger? |
A09970 | Doest thou doe it diligently? |
A09970 | Dost thou not know, that every such refusall of such an offer is so dangerous, as it may put thee into hazard of never having the like againe? |
A09970 | Dost thou therefore live in some evill way or other, wherein thou dost allow thy selfe? |
A09970 | Doth not the low and humble posture of your mind intitle you unto the first? |
A09970 | First, are you not ashamed of the strictest ways of religion? |
A09970 | For what are affections, but divers positions and scituations of the will and the feete it walkes upon? |
A09970 | GOD saies there, it is true indeed, that if you come to any man in the world when his wife hath played the harlot, will he receive her againe? |
A09970 | Had it not beene wisedome in him to have seene and acknowledged it before? |
A09970 | Had not Ahab better have bee ● e without his Vineyard? |
A09970 | Hast thou a healthfull body, a sure estate, many friends? |
A09970 | Hath the LORD said it, and that from heaven; that if a man doe humble himselfe hee will forgive him? |
A09970 | Have not wee cause then to spend o ● r time in feare, if hee dealt thus with David? |
A09970 | How much more shall the bloud of Christ, who through the eternall spirit offered up himselfe to God, purge your consciences from dead workes? |
A09970 | How much more wonderfull things are there to be seene in the Lord, if if he doth but reveale himselfe, and open your eys? |
A09970 | I aske thee this question, whether art thou content to quit all thy sinnes presently upon assurance of being received, if thou dost? |
A09970 | I doubt not but that Christ is willing, but what will God the Father do? |
A09970 | I will aske you first whose servant art thou? |
A09970 | I ● the Lord then so full of pitie and bowells to his owne people? |
A09970 | If a man that is of an honest disposition should promise you a thing, you would believe him: and will you not believe me? |
A09970 | If love to Christ, then it would sooner; if to thy selfe, how shall such conversion be accepted? |
A09970 | If one come against you with ten thousand, and you meete him but with two thousand, who is like to get the victory? |
A09970 | If the gate of heaven stood thus alwayes open, why then did God sweare in his wrath of some Israelites, that they should never enter into his rest? |
A09970 | If you aske now what it is to be afflicted in measure? |
A09970 | If you say, how shall I know for what sinne it is? |
A09970 | Is all our labour lost, except we seeke Gods face, though otherwise a man goe never so farre? |
A09970 | Is he not bound by promise to performe these to you that believe, as well as the other? |
A09970 | Is hee not upon equall termes with thee, nay most unequall on his part? |
A09970 | Is it easie to build a Temple to the Lord, and to keepe it cleane and in repaire? |
A09970 | Is it easie to change and turne the course of nature? |
A09970 | Is it of so much consequence to seeke God for himselfe? |
A09970 | Is not the Lord Iesus? |
A09970 | Is there a secret dislike of them, though thou knowest not why, an antipathy, though happily thou canst not give a reason of it? |
A09970 | Is this the exercising of your callings, for the good of men? |
A09970 | It hath indeed a contrary effect almost in all in the world; for whom doe not GODS mercies leade from him rather then to him? |
A09970 | It is our fault to say, when we are afflicted, that we shall never see better daies: why so? |
A09970 | It is well if it be so: But consider, hath thy humiliation brought thee home? |
A09970 | Lastly, is the Lord thus mercifull to the humble? |
A09970 | Let a man take paines with his heart from day to day, and consider what reasons there are by which a mans heart may be taken off from his sin? |
A09970 | Lord spare them( sayes hee) and if it be, but for thy Names sake, for what will all the Nations say? |
A09970 | Neither complaine, that a daies study is lost, for is there any excellency to the saving Image of God stampt on the heart? |
A09970 | Now if they should aske how it comes to passe that they are his? |
A09970 | Now if you aske the reasons why it is so, that God deales thus with his Children in afflictions? |
A09970 | Now to love a mans selfe, what is it but to seeke a mans owne good? |
A09970 | Now what is said of one grace, is true of all: so then examine thy selfe, how comes sinne in into thee? |
A09970 | Now what is the end of all husbandry? |
A09970 | Put case, any of the old Prophets should come to thee, or any man in particular, and say, wilt thou bee content now to turne to GOD? |
A09970 | Seest thou a man given up to a lust, his heart so cemented to it, as hee can not live without it? |
A09970 | So Christ, when he would humble Paul, he tells him of his persecution, Why persecutest thou me? |
A09970 | So God aggravated to Adam his sin, did not I command thee the contrary? |
A09970 | So when all the people murmured at the red Sea, what was the reason that Moses was quiet all that while when they murmured? |
A09970 | Take a man accustomed to idlenesse, is it easie for him to become laborious and diligent in his calling? |
A09970 | Take a man that makes wealth or honour his God, take that prop from him, and how doth his heart sinke within him? |
A09970 | That place may encourage us, Iames 4, 5, 6. doe you thinke the Scripture sayes in vaine, The spirit that is in us lusteth after envie? |
A09970 | The Prophet had exhorted them to learne to doe well,& c. But the people might object: What shall wee bee the nearer for all this? |
A09970 | The question is how shall we doe to distinguish this? |
A09970 | There are two arguments more to helpe us in this, If hee should marke what is done amisse, who should stand? |
A09970 | Thirdly sayes he, who is offended, and I burne not? |
A09970 | This evill is of the Lord, and what should I wait on the Lord any longer? |
A09970 | What cause have we then to feare? |
A09970 | What is a serpent without a sting? |
A09970 | What is faith, but a laying hold of Christ? |
A09970 | What is it able to procure for us? |
A09970 | What is the reason why to men in jeopardy, as in a storme at Sea and in the time of sicknesse their sins then appeare so terrible and fearefull? |
A09970 | What therefore shall wee say, to set an edg upon your affections, to seeke the Lords person? |
A09970 | What though God hath used thee in some great worke, and not others? |
A09970 | What though your sinnes bee great and in their owne thoughts unpardonable, and you thinke them greater then can bee forgiven? |
A09970 | What was Pauls making, but his going from prison to prison? |
A09970 | What was the reason Abraham and Moses sought the Lord thus for himselfe? |
A09970 | What was the reason of Salomons troubles? |
A09970 | What was the reason, that the Spouse in the Canticles, Chapter 5. was so sicke of love, that she could not containe her selfe? |
A09970 | What wayes? |
A09970 | When therefore thou commest to preach the Gospell or studiest, consider thine end, whether for God or no? |
A09970 | Why doe we trouble our selves so much about the creatures, feare this man and that man, and thinke a little credit or preferment a great matter? |
A09970 | Yea shall I goe further? |
A09970 | You will aske what hurt? |
A09970 | You will say, how shall we know that? |
A09970 | a Tradesman, and hast enterprises to bring to passe? |
A09970 | and after thy recovery, didst thou not returne to them againe with as much greedinesse as ever? |
A09970 | and besides this his first buying of thee, who gives thee thy wages, and provides for thee, meat, drinke, and cloathing? |
A09970 | and didst thou not know thou shouldest not? |
A09970 | and how did Rebecca also for all that while want the comfort of a sonne shee loved, and had none to live with but Esau? |
A09970 | and if so, what cause is there wee should now seek the Lords presence? |
A09970 | and if thou beest his wife, oughtest thou not to seek his things? |
A09970 | and is there not reason thou shouldest serve him alone? |
A09970 | and open and breake the clods of his ground, when hee hath made plaine the face thereof? |
A09970 | and should not the servant seek the profit of his master? |
A09970 | and to some disadvantage in thy wealth? |
A09970 | and was fenced against it? |
A09970 | and what is it hee calls thee to deny thy selfe in? |
A09970 | and what is the motive of his permission but sinne? |
A09970 | and what is the reason that God said of those that were invited to the feast, but refused to come, that they should never taste of it? |
A09970 | and when it is come in, does it continue master? |
A09970 | and will make every one to consider, to what end have I done all, have I knowne the Lord, and been acquainted with him? |
A09970 | and your holy and spotlesse carriage, to the third? |
A09970 | are not all times in Gods hands? |
A09970 | are thy affections troubled, that thou hast offended God in it, that something is gone from God in it, or rather that something is gone from thy self? |
A09970 | are you harlots or Virgins? |
A09970 | are you stronger than hee? |
A09970 | art in straights? |
A09970 | art thou yet then as carefull? |
A09970 | because men doe speake evill of you, but is this a good reason? |
A09970 | but I am still haunted, and I doe not overcome? |
A09970 | but yet what do these hornes serve for but to push them home to the Lord? |
A09970 | comes it in by stealth, or by violence onely? |
A09970 | consider them, canst thou not speake and confesse them? |
A09970 | did not hee make him selfe poore to make thee rich? |
A09970 | doe they not often suffer a storm; are they not often scortched with the heate of reproach? |
A09970 | doe we not see them afflicted? |
A09970 | doe you thinke that any but a sound hearted man, can come as he did with teares to Christ, that cryed out so to him, Lord helpe my unbeliefe? |
A09970 | doest thou thinke that thou art plowed longer then thouneedest? |
A09970 | dost thou desire to have it done, though another man doe it? |
A09970 | dost thou not wish that the Law were not so strict, and that it gave more liberty? |
A09970 | doth he not cast abroad the fetches? |
A09970 | doth not God observe all, look on, and with approbation? |
A09970 | doth not he give thee thy wages? |
A09970 | for did not hee empty himselfe of that eternall glory and happinesse, which he enjoyed with his Father and might have then enjoyed? |
A09970 | hath it driven thee to the City of refuge? |
A09970 | have I sought Gods face in all that I have done? |
A09970 | how canst thou looke to have thy prayers heard, thy sinnes forgiven? |
A09970 | how could you have the face to doe it? |
A09970 | how did Abraham save his sonne, but by being content to offer him? |
A09970 | how much more, when the true God shall bee departed from a man? |
A09970 | if a man sees a company of sheep, and he askes whose sheep are these? |
A09970 | if hee calls thee to beare the crosse for him, did not hee beare a greater crosse for thee? |
A09970 | if none, he layes it a side: but a godly man( so farre as he is godly) asketh this question, whether it is commanded by God? |
A09970 | if thou answerest no, art thou not worthy to bee destroyed? |
A09970 | if wee be such great sinners as you have even now declared us to bee? |
A09970 | if yes, is not this great comfort? |

A64529 | If thou say, that thou art not able to suffer much, how then wilt thou endure the Fire hereafter? |

A54857 | How melodious to our Ears, when e''re we hear it? |
A54857 | How much better is it than wine, and the smell of thy garments than all spices? |
A54857 | How much less should we be able to abstain from being kind to the Benefactor, who is the Sourse and the Fountain of that Benevolence? |
A54857 | How then can our diligence, and all our diligence be employ''d, unless in the keeping of the Commandments, and in the keeping of them all too? |
A54857 | How then comes it to pass, we are so sparing to our lusts? |
A54857 | If we will needs reject his Precepts, how can he do less than neglect our prayers? |
A54857 | In the Negative thus; He that loveth not his Brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? |
A54857 | In the keeping of our selves unspotted from the world? |
A54857 | In which respect alone it is, that the Bridegroom in the Canticles is thus exprest to court his spouse; How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse? |
A54857 | Is there any among us who has been so accustom''d to any sin, as that it has got the dominion over him? |
A54857 | Lord, to whom should we go? |
A54857 | Lord, when thou knowest that I love thee, why dost thou ask if I love thee? |
A54857 | Nay what will ye say, if he intreates us too as earnestly, as we do him? |
A54857 | Nay who was ever more belov''d, than he was pleas''d to love us? |
A54857 | Nor let any man say within himself, How can this be? |
A54857 | Now by what are we betray''d to all these mischiefs, but by the meer misapplying of our Affections? |
A54857 | Now what Marbles rather than Men may we be worthily esteem''d, if such Examples as I have nam''d can not provoke us to aemulation? |
A54857 | Now what Reason is there assignable, why we are abler to rebel than the mighty Ocean? |
A54857 | Now what are all his Commandments, but Exhibitions of his Will? |
A54857 | Now what but Heaven is our Countrey? |
A54857 | Now what can more excite our Love, than thus to meditate upon His? |
A54857 | Or shall a Question be ever made of our obedience to his Commands, which if a man do, he shall live in them? |
A54857 | Or what can any man do to us, for the increasing of the love which we bear unto him? |

A54857 | Quis amare potest quae non vidit? |
A54857 | Seeing Christ is our Saviour as well as theirs, what should hinder us from loving him, as well as they? |
A54857 | Seeing the Publicans themselves do love their lovers, how much worse must we be, if we are no lovers of Him, who lov''d us better than his Life? |
A54857 | Shall I exemplifie what I say by any one important duty, which at first gives us Trouble, and after rewards us with Delight? |
A54857 | Shall I then give you the character of one that truely Loves Christ, that we may judge of our selves in relation to him? |
A54857 | Shall we adventure to be the worse for his goodness to us? |
A54857 | Shall we be evil so much the rather, because He is good? |
A54857 | Shall we break his Commandments, because he hath put it unto our choice, and not infor ● …''t us to keep them against our Wills? |
A54857 | Shall we convert that noble liberty, which he hath given us, into looseness? |
A54857 | Shall we spare any thing that is ours, when''t is well- pleasing unto Him that we should not spare it? |

A54857 | That God in Christ may be All in All, which how can he be,( saith the holy Father,) if any thing of man be left in man? |
A54857 | That they should lay upon their Infant an heavier burthen, than they are willing to bear themselves? |
A54857 | The Heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? |
A54857 | The name of Iesus, a Saviour, how delicious to our mouths ought it to be when e''re we speak it? |

A54857 | To have a much weaker love for the Proper object of our love, than we are wonted to bestow on the proper object of our Hatred? |
A54857 | Want we Devotion in our Prayers? |
A54857 | We have washt our feet, how shall we defile them? |
A54857 | What a sin against Gratitude, not to love Him who so loves us, as that he loves to forgive us the scandalous littleness of our Love? |
A54857 | What a sin against Reason, not to love such an object as we confess is most lovely? |
A54857 | What a sin against nature, not to love them that love us? |
A54857 | What a sin, to be wanting in love to Him, who dyed to expiate our want of love to him? |
A54857 | What hath he don unto us? |
A54857 | What heart has a servant to do his work, when he neither loves the Master, nor has pleasure in his Commands? |
A54857 | What kind of Iniquity have we ever seen in him? |
A54857 | What manner of man is this( said his Disciples in a Fright) that even the wind and the sea obey him? |
A54857 | What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? |
A54857 | What then shall we return him for so astonishing a Love as is now describ''d? |
A54857 | When the son of man cometh shall he find Faith on the Earth? |
A54857 | Where are those pieces of Christianity, which are the grand characteristicks whereby a Christian should be distinguisht from Iew and Gentile? |
A54857 | Which part of his Covenant hath he not punctually performed? |
A54857 | Whilst some of the Heathens do love their Enemies, were it not well if some Christians would love their Friends? |
A54857 | Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say? |
A54857 | Why dost thou grieve me with such a Question, as wounds the honour of the love that I bear unto thee? |
A54857 | Why dost thou kill us with such a Question, as seems to scruple at our Loyalty, and to derogate from our Love? |
A54857 | Why then do we not love him, whilst''t is so evident that we are able? |
A54857 | Why then should we requite him with lesser Instances of Affection? |
A54857 | Wilt thou know by what martyrdom thy Love to Christ may be expressed in Times of Peace? |
A54857 | Would ye know now the reason of so much love, to the end it may affect you with somewhat like it? |
A54857 | and do so grumble to be parted from our Destroyers? |
A54857 | and how to suffer for God, though never persecuted by men? |
A54857 | and if not so, how then can we obey him? |
A54857 | and if not that, how then can we hope he will receive us with an Euge, well don good and faithful servants? |
A54857 | and in what Instance can we be rational, wherein''t is possible for us to cease from being voluntary Agents? |
A54857 | and not only so, but make it as useful to thee as ever? |
A54857 | and shall have nothing to repent of, but that we ever lov''d him less? |
A54857 | and such a sure token too, as can not possibly deceive us? |
A54857 | and that withal it was so late, before we lov''d him? |
A54857 | and the mother of such obedience, as is impartially due to the Law of Christ? |
A54857 | and wherein hath he wearied us? |
A54857 | and which worketh by such a Love, as is the mother of Obedience? |
A54857 | and who are my Brethren? |
A54857 | d We read of Priests teaching for hire, and Magistrates judging for reward, whilst yet they lean upon the Lord, and say, is not the Lord among us? |
A54857 | did he not love that we should love him, as well as S. Peter, and S. Paul? |

A54857 | or dispute us into a Love of what we see not, nor comprehend? |
A54857 | or give us any discouragements from being kind? |
A54857 | or have we found him a wither''d Tree, which hath not afforded us any Fruit? |

A54857 | what difference in the causes, when there is none in the effects? |
A54857 | what incouragement has our Saviour to be still gratifying of us, whose common practice it is to incense or grieve him? |

A54857 | where is he in all the World, whom we are able to leave thee for? |
A54857 | who is he that can add one cubit to our stature? |
A54857 | why then dost thou intimate, that it is possible for us to leave thee? |

A58802 | What would thy blessed Lord have done, had he been in thy Case and Circumstances? |
A58802 | What wouldst thou do there, if upon an impossible Supposition thou couldst be admitted into it? |
A58802 | When all her jarring Faculties shall be reduced into a perfect Harmony, what a Heaven of Content and Peace will there spring up within her own Bosom? |
A58802 | Which if our Reason be debarred of, it standeth for a lonely Cypher in our Natures and is altogether useless and insignificant? |
A58802 | Why then may they not as well charm a Swine into Cleanliness, or a savage Tyger out of his natural Fierceness and Cruelty? |
A58802 | Why then should we not be as earnest in the Cure of this, as we are of our other Diseases? |
A58802 | Why, Because you are miserable, you would say: and hath not he the same Reason to desire it of you? |
A58802 | Will the Pleasures I am promised there compensate the loss of all that Heaven of immortal Ioys, which I shall forfeit by it? |
A58802 | With what Content and Satisfaction, Peace and mutual Security would they deal and converse with one another? |
A58802 | With what face can I go into his dreadful presence, whom I so lately invoked to be Witness to those Vows which I have this day falsified? |
A58802 | You say, you intend to restore to him what you wrong him of, and if so, for what end do you wrong him? |
A58802 | and yet be altogether unconcerned what becometh of that precious Soul, which must be the subject of an everlasting Happiness or Misery? |
A58802 | can I be so stupid, as to hug my Lusts, while I believe that I shall rue for it to all Eternity? |
A58802 | that he hath created in us Desires and Expectations, only to mock and tantalize them? |
A58802 | the same Inchantment confineth them to the same Circle? |
A58802 | what Lust is there so dear to us, that we should not willingly sacrifice to the Hopes of Immortality? |
A58802 | what a blessed and happy People would this be? |
A58802 | — Iterumque ad tarda reverti Corpora: quae lucis miferis tam dira cupido? |
A51848 | ''T is offered to all that will repent and believe, and there is no exception put in against you to exclude you; Why then will you exclude your self? |
A51848 | ''T is true, Christ doth his Work by Degrees; but if we mind it not, and lazily expect that he should make us perfect, how will it ever be? |
A51848 | ''t is said, And Sarah laughed within her self, saying, After I am waxed old, shall I have pleasure, my Lord also being old? |
A51848 | 1 st, What is this Rejoicing? |
A51848 | 1. Who are in danger of it? |
A51848 | 27. Who am I, that am but Dust and Ashes, that I should speak unto God? |
A51848 | A day for a Man to afflict his Soul? |
A51848 | A second Vse is by way of Examination: Are you of this Temper, that you have no Confidence in the Flesh? |
A51848 | After such express Declarations of the Will of Christ, why should we think of going to Heaven at a ch ● ● per rate? |
A51848 | Alas, What could we have done, without his Passion and Intercession? |
A51848 | Am I therefore become your Enemy, because I tell you the Truth? |
A51848 | An apprehension of the Good and Benefit which we have by Christ; For otherwise how can we rejoice and glory in Him? |
A51848 | And Abraham ● ell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a Child be born to him that is an hundred years old? |
A51848 | And can those who are dark in their interest in Christ, and know not whether they have any Grace or no, rejoice in him? |
A51848 | And his Sisters, are they not all with us? |
A51848 | And is not this matter of rejoicing to us? |
A51848 | And shall Sarah that is ninety years old, ● ear? |
A51848 | And shall we neglect this great Salvation brought to us by Jesus Christ? |
A51848 | And then for the third: Is not this a part of the Word of God, which Holy Men have written to consign it to the use of the Church in all Ages? |
A51848 | And what Means are more effectual than those mentioned? |
A51848 | And what fitteth you for this, looking back, or keeping the Heart in Heaven? |
A51848 | And what strange Doctrine is this? |
A51848 | And where is Matter of Joy and Comfort, if not in God? |
A51848 | And while they are so over- careful to preserve their Estates to themselves and Families, Do they believe to the saving of their Souls? |
A51848 | And will God mislead us, and direct us amiss; or turn us into a by- way, or crooked- path? |
A51848 | And will not God be mindful and regardful of his Word? |
A51848 | Are not they which eat of the Sacrifices, partakers of the Altar? |
A51848 | Are these things grown better, or God grown worse, that you should turn your Hearts from him to them? |
A51848 | Are we in the place of God, that we can make Heaven narrower or broader for you? |
A51848 | Are we perfect, that is, grown Christians in the way to Perfection? |
A51848 | Art thou come hither to torment us before the time? |
A51848 | As carnal and careless Sinners, or as morti ● ied Saints? |
A51848 | Behold the difference between Carnal Men and the Children of God; The World is their Portion, and God is ours; and who is better provided for? |
A51848 | But Noah believed; And what then? |
A51848 | But are all those who are not offended at Christ, saved? |
A51848 | But by what Instrument or Means? |
A51848 | But how should we mind it? |
A51848 | But there may be a different practice as to some lesser things; Should we for these break with one another? |
A51848 | But these Commands were contrary to the Laws of God: Should they have said, God will have Mercy, and not Sacrifice? |
A51848 | But what are the Weak to do? |
A51848 | But what cometh of this? |
A51848 | But what was Christ''s Answer? |
A51848 | But who will own this Title and Appellation? |
A51848 | Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? |
A51848 | Can we find better things in the World? |
A51848 | Can you trust God, when he trieth your Trust in some necessary Point of Confession, which may expose you to some loss, shame, and hazard in the World? |
A51848 | Celsus the Heathen maketh the Objection, Should a few Mariners,( meaning Fisher- men) prescribe to the World? |
A51848 | Dangers by the way? |
A51848 | David always ran to the Oracle of the Ephod; Shall I go up to Hebron? |
A51848 | Did not we all sit in Darkness, and in the shadow of Death? |
A51848 | Do not these Men run a fearful hazard? |
A51848 | Do we count Immaculate Purity and Perfection in Holiness, to be our Blessedness hereafter? |
A51848 | Do you believe, that he that giveth to the Poor, lendeth to the Lord? |
A51848 | Do you look upon no Estate so sure, as that which is trusted in Christ''s Hands? |
A51848 | Do you spend no time in idleness ▪ vain talking, and carnal sports? |
A51848 | Do you worship him with Reverence, and with Delight and Affection; with a Trust, Hope, and Confidence? |
A51848 | Doth the Apostle reckon this another part of Religion? |
A51848 | Evangelia legunt& impudi ● u ● t Apostolos audiant,& ine ● riantur, Cristum s ● quuntur,& capiunt? |
A51848 | Every Man that hath a Conscience, must have something to trust unto: Now what feedeth his Confidence, but the Religion which he hath chosen? |
A51848 | For Justice: To do, as we would be done to; what more pleasant? |
A51848 | For what is the honour of the World to approbation with God? |
A51848 | God is his Helper: To be cast into Hell when he goeth out of the World? |
A51848 | Hath God meerly by his Grace brought us to the knowledg of his Truth, and shall we contemn and disdain our weak Brother? |
A51848 | Hath the Lord any delight in Burnt- Offerings and Sacrifices? |
A51848 | Have any of the Pharisees or Rulers believed in him? |
A51848 | Have any of the Rulers and Pharisees believed in him? |
A51848 | Have ye suffered so many things in vain? |
A51848 | Have you Peace with God, and Communion with him at every turn? |
A51848 | Have you a God in Covenant with you, who hath engaged all his Love, Wisdom, and Power, to help you, and to turn all things to your Good? |
A51848 | Have you a due sense of the World to come, and that better, and enduring Substance; and yet complain so bitterly of Worldly Losses? |
A51848 | Have you hope of Glory, and can not you bear a Disappointment in the World? |
A51848 | Have you no Necessities to bring to the Throne of Grace? |
A51848 | Have you no Pardon to sue out, no Grace that you stand in need of; that you should live like a brute Beat? |
A51848 | Have you such a trust, as that you can venture the loss of something which is dear to you for this Trust; yea, not only something, but all things? |
A51848 | Have you the discovery of the Wonders of his Love, in your Redemption by Christ, and do you see no cause to own and acknowledg him? |
A51848 | He said unto them, How is it that you sought me? |
A51848 | How can these things be? |
A51848 | How can this be? |
A51848 | How could you look God in the Face, or think one comfortable thought of him? |
A51848 | How shall I know this, ● or I am an old Man? |
A51848 | How shall it be cured, but by seeking our Delight elsewhere? |
A51848 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
A51848 | How will they desire to die? |
A51848 | How? |
A51848 | I answer, Will you neglect God and Salvation, because you have worldly things to mind? |
A51848 | I have no power or strength to do good; And what will you have us do? |
A51848 | If God did not call for outward Worship, why did he appoint the Ordinances of Preaching, Praying, singing Psalms, Baptism, and the Lord''s Supper? |
A51848 | If I be a Father, Where is mine Honour? |
A51848 | If I be a Master, Where is my Fear? |
A51848 | If a Friend will take out of our hands, the Knife with which we would not only cut our Fingers, but our Throats; Is he to be blamed? |
A51848 | If nothing be an excuse to us, can any thing be an excuse to you? |
A51848 | If there be not a God, How did we come to be? |
A51848 | If there were no more than these, Shall we look back? |
A51848 | If we Love his Law, for the purity thereof, then certainly we must love God, how else can we study to imitate him? |
A51848 | If you ask me then, Why is a Christian described rather by rejoicing in Christ, than by rejoycing in the pardon of Sins, and Eternal Blessedness? |
A51848 | If you believe there is a God, why do you not call upon him? |
A51848 | If you would not have Christ of another mind, why will you be of another mind? |
A51848 | Is it such a Fast that I have chosen? |
A51848 | Is it the hopes of it? |
A51848 | Is it the way and means, the first, the terms of setling our Souls in the way of Faith and Repentance? |
A51848 | Is it to bow down his Head as a Bulrush, and to spread Sack- cloth and Ashes under him? |
A51848 | Is not Grace better than any natural Comfort taken from us? |
A51848 | Is not this God''s Promise? |
A51848 | Is not this a Counsel of Perfection? |
A51848 | Is not this the Carpenter''s Son? |
A51848 | Is not this the Carpenter, brought up in the same Trade with Ioseph? |
A51848 | Is there any stamp of God upon the Duty, of his Majesty, Goodness, and great Power? |
A51848 | Is there not a God? |
A51848 | Is this Religion, to come to Church to hear the strictest Preachers? |
A51848 | Knowest thou not that the Pharisees were offended after they heard this saying? |
A51848 | Let him take up his Cross daily: How daily? |
A51848 | Let me reason with you as Men: Wherefore had you reasonable Souls, but to praise, and honour, and glorify your Creator and Preserver? |
A51848 | Life: Will you stop a Journey for your Lives, because''t is a little tedious? |
A51848 | Lo, they have rejected the Word of the Lord, and what Wisdom is in them? |
A51848 | Look upon thy Body, so curiously framed, Whose workmanship could this be, but of a Wise God? |
A51848 | Man''s goings are of the Lord; how can a Man then understand his own way? |
A51848 | Not as Cain, who was of that wicked One, and slew his Brother: And wherefore slew he him? |
A51848 | Now for the second: Hath not this God revealed himself gracious in Christ? |
A51848 | Now if we can rejoice in Trifles, and not rejoice in the Love of God; How can we be said to mind these things? |
A51848 | Now urge the Soul with the Promises; Am I willing to hazard my temporal Conveniencies for the enduring Substance? |
A51848 | Now what Remedy is there, but Lenity and mutual Forbearance? |
A51848 | Now what is the great Impediment? |
A51848 | Now what is the nature of this Kingdom of God? |
A51848 | Now what pain is it to delight in the Lord as our All- sufficient Portion? |
A51848 | Now what was the Issue? |
A51848 | Now which is better, To take a little profitable pains in Godliness, or to endure everlasting Torments? |
A51848 | One turn of the Hand of God, separateth the neglected Soul from the pampered Body: And then whose are all these things? |
A51848 | Or can we expect Mercy without returning? |
A51848 | Or is he your Enemy, who forbiddeth you to drink Poison? |
A51848 | Or should we not own our Benefactor, the 〈 ◊ 〉 satisfying? |
A51848 | Or when saw we thee sick, or in Prison, and came unto thee? |
A51848 | Or, is every one bound to give all his Goods to the Poor, and turn Monks or Anchorites? |
A51848 | Reason will say, our case is not compassionable: Or should God quit ▪ his Law without satisfaction? |
A51848 | Secondly, That this Wisdom is despised, slighted, and contradicted by the carnal World; and why? |
A51848 | Shall the Apostles be judged of by Iudas? |
A51848 | Should your Souls be nearer and dearer to us than to your selves? |
A51848 | So in Salvian''s time, the Heathens were wo nt to upbraid the Christians thus; Vbi est ● atholica Lex quam credunt? |
A51848 | The Advice or Counsel given, be thus minded; What is that? |
A51848 | The Ark, and Israel, are in Tents, and my Lord Joab, and the Servants of my Lord are in the open fields; Shall I go into my House, and eat, and drink? |
A51848 | The Bread which we break, is it not the communion of the Body of Christ? |
A51848 | The Cup of Blessing which we bless, is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ? |
A51848 | The Question will soon be reduced to this, Which is most to be regarded, God or the Creature, the Body or the Soul, Eternity or Time? |
A51848 | The Scribes and Pharisees murmured against his Disciples, saying, Why do you eat and drink with Publicans and Sinners? |
A51848 | Then shall the Righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? |
A51848 | There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? |
A51848 | There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? |
A51848 | Therefore Christ saith, Doth this offend you? |
A51848 | Therefore we begin at the wrong end, if we enquire first, How can this be? |
A51848 | Thirdly, Was it not proper to that Age only? |
A51848 | This is Mens natural thoughts; the Jews say, That Christ was not the True Messiah: Why? |
A51848 | Thou that abhorrest Idols, dost thou commit Sacrilege? |
A51848 | Upon thy Soul, Whose Image and Superscription doth it bear? |
A51848 | Vbi sunt pietatis,& castitatis exempla quae discunt? |
A51848 | We would have others bound by these Laws, why not our selves? |
A51848 | Were those things spoken to them only, and not to us also? |
A51848 | Were we not all ignorant of the Ways of God, and the Things which belong to our Peace? |
A51848 | What Iniquity have your Fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after Vanity, and are become vain? |

A51848 | What doth it avail Prisoners to set up a Mock- Sessions among themselves to acquit one, and condemn another? |
A51848 | What doth their Baptism profit them? |
A51848 | What have you ventured in this kind? |
A51848 | What is likely to offend, since Christ''s exaltation of his Person in Heaven, and his Religion in the Word? |
A51848 | What is that saving- Faith which giveth us a Title to it? |
A51848 | What is that saving- Faith which giveth us a title to it? |
A51848 | What is that? |
A51848 | What is the Notion then of it? |
A51848 | What is the Right of Believers, or the Interest of Faith in this great Benefit? |
A51848 | What is the Salvation of the Soul? |
A51848 | What is the matter that my belief of these things is so cold and ineffectual? |
A51848 | What is the meaning then of that, Let him take up his Cross daily? |
A51848 | What is there in all the Christian Religion, but what is justifiable, or that we should be ashamed of? |
A51848 | What is this Salvation of our Souls? |
A51848 | What is this, but to forsake the cold flowing Waters for a dirty Puddle? |
A51848 | What manner of Persons ought we to be in all Holy Conversation and Godliness? |
A51848 | What more Rational? |
A51848 | What new Doctrine is this? |
A51848 | What shall we do to avoid it? |
A51848 | What should a Christian fear? |
A51848 | What though the tryal of your Faith and Patience be very sore? |
A51848 | What will it profit a Man, if he should gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul? |
A51848 | Whatever your business be, you have a time to eat, and drink, and sleep; and have you no time to be saved? |
A51848 | When Hearts wander, when Affections do not answer Expressions, Is this like Service and Worship done to an All- seeing, and All- knowing Spirit? |
A51848 | When saw we thee a Stranger, and took thee in? |
A51848 | When some said, This is the Christ; others said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? |
A51848 | When- ever we reflect upon Christ, what do we find but ample grounds of Joy? |
A51848 | Whence then hath this Man all these things? |
A51848 | Wherefore do Men believe in Christ, but for this end, that they may obtain everlasting Life? |
A51848 | Wherefore have we afflicted our Soul, and thou takest no knowledg? |
A51848 | Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? |

A51848 | Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
A51848 | Would God bring you to one another? |
A51848 | Would Holy Men cheat the World with an Imposture? |
A51848 | Would Men hate, defraud, oppress others, and expect nothing but kind and righteous dealing from them? |
A51848 | Ye Adulterers, and Adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the World is enmity with God? |
A51848 | Ye that desire to be under the Law, hear what the Law saith; if you will stand to that Covenant, Do you know what it is? |

A51848 | and his Brethren, James, Joses, Simon, Judas? |
A51848 | and might not this be better employed about heavenly things? |
A51848 | and shall a blasting of the Creature destroy all your Comfort? |

A47614 | Besides, who will trust you? |
A47614 | But pray wherein will he be so useful to me: What are his Properties? |
A47614 | But stay Poverty, What kind of Fellows are those you have got in your House? |
A47614 | But what is the Heresie? |
A47614 | But why dost thou chuse to take up thy dwelling in this Village now, when so many are going out? |
A47614 | But why should you think I harbour Hypocrisie in my House? |
A47614 | But''t is better to be contemned for Virtue by men on earth, than to be condemned for Vice by the God of Heaven? |
A47614 | By what means may Ministers best win Souls? |

A26967 | 1. Who knoweth not that Time can not be recalled? |
A26967 | 10. have we not all more need of monitors to humble us for doing so much lesse then our duty, then to be reprehended for being too diligent and exact? |
A26967 | 12. by the name of a Factious Schismatical Conventicle, and a meeting of Drunkards, or Gamesters, by a more gentle less disgraceful name? |
A26967 | 14. and this after they are baptized, and profess to believe in the holy Ghost as their Sanctifier? |
A26967 | 2. Who do you think is likest to understand Gods mind, and what is pleasing to him? |
A26967 | 3, 5, 6. minding the things of the flesh, and not the things of the Spirit? |

A26967 | Alas, sirs, how many questions of exceeding weight have you yet to be resolved in? |
A26967 | And a Communion of Saints in which you have undertaken to administer the Holy things of God? |
A26967 | And a Holy Church in which you have your station? |
A26967 | And are there not far more enemies to serious godliness among the Papists themselves, then among us? |
A26967 | And are you the men that would quench their zeal, and destroy the holy diligence which you should Preach? |
A26967 | And art thou afraid of having too much of this? |
A26967 | And dare you before the Sun, and under the Heavens of God, and in his Hearing, perswade men that the most Holy God is against Holiness? |
A26967 | And dare you gainsay the Lord and his Apostles, and concur with Satan, and the Pharisees and enemies of Christ? |
A26967 | And hast thou not an immortal soul to save or lose as well as they? |
A26967 | And how came holy Mr. Bolton to find so much work for these rebukes so lately in his time, as in his books you find? |
A26967 | And how do their Laicks here know what is a point of faith, but by the testimony of their Priests? |
A26967 | And how will Christ deal at last with his Enemies? |
A26967 | And if all these were down, wherein should the practice of Religion consist? |
A26967 | And is any of this a matter of controversie or doubt? |
A26967 | And is it not the way when we would draw the boat to the bank, to lay hold of the bank and pull, as if we would draw it to the boat? |
A26967 | And is there any controversie among Christians in any of this? |
A26967 | And is there any controversie among Christians in any of this? |
A26967 | And is there any thing in all this that any Christian can deny? |
A26967 | And is there any thing now left but Ignorance or Wickedness to stand up against thy speedy diligence? |
A26967 | And is there any thing of doubt or controversie in this? |
A26967 | And is there any thing to be compared with God and our eternal state? |
A26967 | And is this a matter of any doubt or controversie? |
A26967 | And is this any Schismatical or factious motion? |
A26967 | And let people see, that the Pulpit is to you but as a Stage, and that you believe not what you speak? |
A26967 | And must the Church be divided, and most be damned for not believing or submitting to a humane Ordinance? |
A26967 | And now I should conclude, I am loth to end, for fear lest I have not yet prevailed with you: What are you now resolved to do from this day forward? |
A26967 | And shall, we be idle that are engaged for Heaven? |
A26967 | And what a terrible account wilt thou have to make, when the seduction and transgression of all these sinners shall be charged upon thee? |
A26967 | And what an addition is it to your guilt, that you speak against God in his own Name? |
A26967 | And what estimation had Christs doctrine among the Scribes and Pharisees? |
A26967 | And what is the reason of your unbelief? |
A26967 | And what manner of persons should they be, in holy conversation and godliness, that look for such a life as this? |
A26967 | And why do you not commend the Good where you discommend the evil that is commixt? |
A26967 | And will I neither endure it, nor be quickened without it? |
A26967 | And will you in your Application, or private discourses, unsay all this again, and give God and your selves the Lye? |
A26967 | And will you tell God that he hath but dissembled with you, and told you that he is pleased with that which is not pleasing to him? |
A26967 | And wilt thou be a Traytor to Christ, in the name of a Messenger and Preacher of the Gospel? |
A26967 | And wilt thou be idle when eternal life ● ies on it? |
A26967 | And wilt thou teach them to hate Godliness, who hast undertaken before the Righteous God, to teach them to practice it? |
A26967 | Are not all Christians agreed in it? |
A26967 | Are not the people backward enough to the serving of God with all their might, unless you hinder them? |
A26967 | Are there any men of any party among Christians, or sober Infidels that dare contradict it? |
A26967 | Are there not Ale- houses to be supprest, and drunkards& riotous persons to be restrained; Preaching and Piety to be promoted? |
A26967 | Are you not ashamed thus to contradict your selves? |
A26967 | Are you not convinced that it is so? |
A26967 | Art thou a Preacher of the Gospel, and takest charge of the souls of men? |
A26967 | Art thou in a declined lapsed state? |
A26967 | Art thou in the darknesse of uncertainty concerning thy conversion, and thy everlasting state? |
A26967 | Art thou seeking to inflame thy soul with love to God? |
A26967 | Art thou willing to use the Might thou hast, and to have more, and use it if thou hadst it? |
A26967 | But because you have the faces to contradict the God of Truth, and to reproach that work which he commandeth, and to say, what needs so much ado? |
A26967 | But doth he think that man is seriously a Christian that is not more zealous for God and Religion, and the souls of men, then for himself? |
A26967 | But how were the Oratorians esteemed and used? |
A26967 | But if thou dost know it, how dost thou make shift maliciously to oppose it, without feeling the beginnings of Hell upon thy Conscience? |
A26967 | But is not your strict observation of the Lords day a controverted thing? |
A26967 | But perhaps you''l ask, May not a man be righteous over- mmch? |
A26967 | But shall it be so with thee whose eyes are opened, who seest the God, the Heaven, the Hell, which they do but hear of as unlikely things? |
A26967 | But what did he therefore fear or fly from God? |
A26967 | But what of that? |
A26967 | But will not Christ know his sheep, though he find them torn in a wolks skin? |
A26967 | But( you''l say perhaps) alas, what Might have we? |
A26967 | By what men on earth should God be eminently served& honoured, if not by Magistrates, whom he hath eminently advanced, impowred, and intrusted? |
A26967 | Can I do no better, when I know before hand, what different aspects diligence and negligence will have, to the awakened soul in the review? |
A26967 | Can I do no more for the Church of God? |
A26967 | Can I do no more for the souls of men? |
A26967 | Can I do no more that have so much help? |
A26967 | Can I do no more then this for Christ? |
A26967 | Can I do no more, that have loytered so long? |
A26967 | Can I do no more, that know not now but I am doing my last? |
A26967 | Can I do no more, when I am sure I can not do too much, and am sure there is nothing else to be preferred? |
A26967 | Can I do no more, when my salvation is the prize? |
A26967 | Can I love him no more? |
A26967 | Can it be expected that our Church should be better than the Family of Adam, that had a Cain? |
A26967 | Can not souls be damned without your furtherance? |
A26967 | Can your hearts bear it then, to hear and think, that you lost,& wilfully lost such an opportunity? |
A26967 | Canst thou look for this at the hand of God, when Nature and Scripture assure thee of the contrary? |
A26967 | Could I do no more, if I were sure that my salvation lay on this one duty? |
A26967 | Could I not do more, if my house were on fire, or my estate, or life, or friend in danger, then I do for my salvation? |
A26967 | Dare you as openly mock God for making these strict and holy Laws, as you do men for obeying them? |
A26967 | Dare you prefix a[ Thus saith the Lord] to so impious a speech as[ It is in vain to serve the Lord? |
A26967 | Did a Seneca see by the light of nature, so much of the necessity of seriousness and diligence, about the matters of the soul? |
A26967 | Do not they not judge Heaven to be less worth then Earth; when they will do less for it, and would have others to do so too? |
A26967 | Do you not find in your Repentings, that the change is more in your Will then in your Power? |
A26967 | Do you not your selves profess that you believe it? |
A26967 | Do you practise as aforesaid, according to the Principles and matter agreed on, or not? |
A26967 | Do you see your people so forward to do too much for Heaven, that you must pull them back? |
A26967 | Do your work as men that must work no more, and pray as men that must pray no more, when once the time of work is ended? |
A26967 | Dost thou look he should pervert the course of nature,& continue the spring and seed- time till thou hast a mind to sow? |
A26967 | Dost thou look to have Preachers sent after thee, to bring thee the mercy which thy contempt here left behind? |

A26967 | Dost thou take on thee to go on the message of Christ, and then speak against him? |
A26967 | Dost thou talk of our differences about Forms and Ceremonies? |
A26967 | Doth it not teach all rational creatures in necessity to pray to God? |
A26967 | Examine your selves whether you be in the faith; prove your selves; know ye not your own selves, that Christ is in you except you are reprobates? |
A26967 | For him that did so much for me? |
A26967 | For what shall it profit you to win the world, and lose your soul? |
A26967 | For who are his enemies, but the Enemies of Holiness, of his Laws, of our Obedience, of his Image, and of his Saints? |
A26967 | Hast thou lost thy first desires and love? |
A26967 | Hast thou no where to walk or play thee, but at the brink of Hell? |
A26967 | Hath he made you Governours, and put the sword of Justice into your hands? |

A26967 | Have I convinced you now, that God and your salvation are to be sought with all your might? |
A26967 | Have I nothing else to do with my time& labour, but plead cause of my own which God will so speedily and effectually plead? |
A26967 | Have you ignorant or ungodly neighbors, whose misery calls for your compassion, and relief? |
A26967 | Himself or you? |
A26967 | How basely should they esteem those transitory things, that are the food and felicity of the sensual world? |
A26967 | How can you make shift to Preach an hour, and not acquaint men with the Duty and Necessity of seeking God with all their Might? |
A26967 | How canst thou choose but perceive that the scope of the word of God is contrary to the bent of thy affections and suggestions? |
A26967 | How do I complain when affliction is up- me? |
A26967 | How durst you scorn the image of your Maker? |
A26967 | How easi ● is it to put a name of ignominy upon every person, and every duty? |

A26967 | How fain would Satan find thee thus at death? |
A26967 | How fain would he have leave to blow out thy candle, before thou hast entred in ● ● the way of life? |
A26967 | How happy a bargain would they think that they had made, if at the dearest rates they could redeem it? |
A26967 | How importunately would they cry to God,[ O send us once again unto the earth? |
A26967 | How many a Sermon, or Prayer, or reproof, is made the matter of derision, and contempt, for some imprudent passages or deportment? |
A26967 | How patiently should they undergo contempt and scorn, and whatsoever man can inflict upon them? |
A26967 | How seriously should they speak of, and how industriously should they seek, such sure, such near, such endless joyes? |
A26967 | How studiously should they devote and refer all their time, and strength, and wealth, and interest, to this their glorious blessed end? |
A26967 | I know these tearms seem hard to flesh and blood( and should Heaven be the Crown and reward to them, that have undergone no tryal for it?) |
A26967 | I suppose this were true as you imagine, what''s this to you that serve God no way at all with any serious diligence? |
A26967 | IN the Preface: the Question resolved, Whether a Man may be saved in any Religion, that is serious in practising it? |
A26967 | If not, why hast thou not yet done with thy beloved sins? |
A26967 | If others do seem to love God when they do not, will you therefore not so much as seem to do it? |
A26967 | If the Righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? |
A26967 | If they could, what endeavours would there be used, when extremity hath taught them to value what they now despise? |
A26967 | If this kind of preaching or writing offend, could not I have avoided it? |
A26967 | If we be of many Religions, is not Popery then a humane Religion? |
A26967 | Is any thing more plainly commanded in Gods Word then praying with frequency, fervency, and importunity? |
A26967 | Is it Christ, or Satan? |
A26967 | Is it not a Holy Law and Gospel which you publish? |
A26967 | Is it not better mend my pace, and work on easier tearms? |
A26967 | Is it reason that we should do less for God& our salvation, then they do for sinful pleasure to damnation? |
A26967 | Is not Satan strong enough of himself? |
A26967 | Is not all this the express Command of God, and necessary to salvation? |
A26967 | Is not the corrupted heart of lapsed man averse enough to the matters of salvation, but you must make them worse? |
A26967 | Is not your strict observation of the Lords Day a Controversie? |
A26967 | Is there any thing controvertible in this? |
A26967 | Is there any thing controvertible, or which any Christian can speak against, in any of this? |
A26967 | Is there any thing that Protestants are not agreed of? |
A26967 | Is this believed and considered by the sleepy world? |
A26967 | Is this my love and compassion to my neighbour, my servant, freind or child? |
A26967 | Knowest thou the difference between God and man? |
A26967 | Might I nearly follow Christ in holiness, why should I grudge to bear his Cross, and to be used as he was used? |
A26967 | Must it not be tamed and mortified, or thy soul condemned? |
A26967 | Must not the flesh be crucified with its affections and lusts? |
A26967 | Must they think ill of food, and physick, and exercise, because they are infirm? |
A26967 | Nay how then shall he be God? |
A26967 | Nay, what can more aggravate them, then that they should be found in the professors of godliness? |
A26967 | Not worth so much as they do themselves for their filthy sins and perishing flesh? |
A26967 | Once more let us see the face of Mercy, and hear the tenders of Christ& of Salvation? |
A26967 | Or that your flesh was once provided with variety of delights, when it s turned to rottenness, and must be raised to torments? |
A26967 | Or to have been honoured and obeyed on earth, when you are under the wrath of God in Hell? |
A26967 | Quid interest quo quisque, vitio fiat imprudens? |
A26967 | See what a stir the proud ambitious person makes for less then nothing? |
A26967 | See whether you bring your opposition to a holy life; And dare not you stand to this? |
A26967 | Shall Christianity and Holiness be secretly reproached, because all Christians have some fault to be accused of? |
A26967 | Shall Health and Life be made a scorn, because there are few but have some distemper or disease? |
A26967 | Shall not the judge of all the world do righteously? |
A26967 | Shall they be able to calumniate under the threatnings of the Revenge of Heaven? |
A26967 | Should not the best things be best loved? |
A26967 | Sirs, will you say that any of this is our singular opinion, or matter of controversie& doubt? |
A26967 | That see how fast my Time makes haste, and know I must be quickly gone? |
A26967 | The Mariners could say to Jonah in their danger[ What meanest thou, O sleeper? |
A26967 | The Posts went from City to City — And what did the people think ye? |
A26967 | The Subject must obey; should not such worms as we, obey the infinite God that made us? |
A26967 | This is it that we intreat of you:& is there any matter of controversie in all this? |
A26967 | This is the business that I am sent to call you to; what say you? |
A26967 | This is the manner of Gods service that I perswade you to, and to no other: And is there any thing of controversie in this? |
A26967 | This is the service of God that we call you to: And can you say that there is any thing controvertible in all this? |
A26967 | This is the work that we call you to: And is there any thing that a christian can make a controversie of in all this? |
A26967 | This is your work: And is there any thing of faction, Schism or controversie in this? |
A26967 | Thou that never fearest too much money, nor too much honour, nor too much health, art thou afraid of too much spiritual health and holiness? |
A26967 | Till then l ● t them make merry in their deceits: who would envy the drunkard the pleasure of an hours swinish sick delight? |
A26967 | To call men factious, if they will not be of their faction? |
A26967 | To charge any man with Hypocrisie or Pride? |
A26967 | To lay snares for mens Consciences, and then accuse them for falling into those snares? |
A26967 | To make new Articles of faith, till they have transcended the capa ● ity of Divine and Rational belief, and then condemn us for not believing them? |
A26967 | To take the wisest man for self- conceited, because he is not of the accusers mind? |
A26967 | Unless you dare imagine that God hath erred, and the Rule it self is over- strict, and the Law is unrighteous: But then how shall God judge the world? |
A26967 | Was it for nothing that our Lord would not answer for himself when he was accused before Pilate? |
A26967 | Were not a beast less miserable, if this were all? |
A26967 | What Heathen that believeth that there is a God, doth not believe that Prayer to him is a necessary part of his worship? |
A26967 | What Might have we? |
A26967 | What a comfort it will be at death and judgement, to be able to say, I did my best, or loytered not away the time I had? |
A26967 | What can you find to Preach from the Word of God, that tendeth not to this holy diligence which you are against? |
A26967 | What have you to say now against this reverent manner of behaviour? |
A26967 | What reward had he among them? |
A26967 | What then will be the doom of the opposers? |
A26967 | What will ye now do? |
A26967 | What, thou that haste none( which should make thee tremble) art thou afraid of having too much? |
A26967 | When he puts me purposely on the trial, what I can do for his sake and service, Can I do no more? |
A26967 | When it is thy work to read the Scriptures, and meditate on them, dost thou not read thy doom, and meditate terrour? |
A26967 | When you come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand to tread my Courts? |
A26967 | Who deserveth all? |
A26967 | Who gave me all? |
A26967 | Who is the man, and what is his name, that dare contradict them, and can make it good? |
A26967 | Who seeth me in my duties and my sins? |
A26967 | Who should confound the d ● ● ders of a holy life but you? |
A26967 | Why do not you commend those that are not liable to your accusations, and encourage them in holiness, and draw others to imitate them? |
A26967 | Why hast thou not yet begun to live? |
A26967 | Why man, dost thou know what Holiness is? |
A26967 | Why sittest thou still, while thy soul is un- renewed? |
A26967 | Why standest thou idle, when thou art born for work, and all thy faculties are given thee for work, and thou art redeemed for work? |
A26967 | Will God be deceived by such siilly reasonings as these? |
A26967 | Will he renew thy age, and make the young again, and call back the hours that thou prodigally wastedst on thy lusts and idleness? |
A26967 | Will it not be time enough to be justified at the Bar and day of God? |
A26967 | Will you also in the Manner of your obedience, but go so far as all Christians are agreed in? |
A26967 | Wilt thou be dull and sensless on such an errand to the Living God? |
A26967 | Wilt thou do in the day- light, as they do in the dark? |
A26967 | Wilt thou hear and be converted in the Grave and Hell? |
A26967 | Wilt thou live awake, as they that are asleep? |
A26967 | Would I have God to come with the spur and rod? |
A26967 | Would you be soldiers on condition you may not fight; or fight, and yet have no opposition? |
A26967 | You are blind if you see not this: you are dead if you feel it not: what then will you do? |
A26967 | You are not afraid lest any man should pull down the Sun, or dry up the Sea, or overturn the Earth: And are you afraid that Man should conquer God? |
A26967 | You can not mock them out of their Pride and Covetuousness: And shall they mock thee out of thy Religion, and thy hopes of Heaven? |
A26967 | You say it is turbulent Pre ● isians that you strike, but what if Christ find but one of the least of his Brethren bleeding by it? |
A26967 | Your trust is great,& so is your advantage to do good; And how great will be your account,& how dreadful, if you be unfaithful? |
A26967 | [ And shall I not be taken for a mad man, if I should busie my self about such things that am now besieged? |
A26967 | [ But to the wicked saith God, What hast thou to do to declare my Statutes? |
A26967 | [ If a man die, shall he live( here) again? |
A26967 | [ To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices unto me? |
A26967 | and Sectaries, if they will not unreasonably subject their Souls to them, and joyn with an imperious Sect, against the Catholick Vnity and Simplicity? |
A26967 | and all thy preparation for death and judgement is yet to make? |
A26967 | and go no faster, that have slept till the evening of my daies, when Diligence must be the discovery of my Repentance? |
A26967 | and in the awaking of your Will and Reason into act, then in the addition of meer abilities? |
A26967 | and is there any thing of doubt or controversie in all this? |
A26967 | and obey, and watch, and work no more? |
A26967 | and so much of the madness of spending words and time on trifles? |
A26967 | and that he that made his holy Law, is against the most exact obeying of it? |
A26967 | and that therefore you befool your selves for your sins& your neglects,& wonder that you had no more use of your understandings? |
A26967 | and the King of Saints is an adversary to sanctity? |
A26967 | and the greatest matters have our greatest care? |
A26967 | and what it is to have access to God? |
A26967 | and what should become of thee, if this were the day or hour of thy change? |
A26967 | and whether you will set your selves to do the work that you are Created and Redeemed for? |
A26967 | and will it pay you for your cost and labour? |
A26967 | and yet what is it good for? |
A26967 | but thou must be so cruel as to make others miserable also? |
A26967 | dare you go to men as from the Lord,& say[ You are too careful& diligent in his service? |

A26967 | in praying for deliverance? |
A26967 | in suppressing sin? |
A26967 | is it not a Holy God that you are engaged to serve? |
A26967 | mnst we all be unbelievers with you? |
A26967 | or in promoting Works of publick benefit? |
A26967 | or is it a desirable work? |
A26967 | or of Christ, that had a Judas? |
A26967 | or of Noah, that had a Cham? |
A26967 | or that he will return the dead- born or mis- shapen Infant into the womb, that it may be better formed or quickned? |
A26967 | or that thou shouldest take my Covenant in thy mouth, seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee?] |
A26967 | or wilt thou be saved without holiness? |
A26967 | or with believers whether they should consider and lay to heart the weight& use of the things which they believe? |
A26967 | quid agam? |
A26967 | shall Freemen live as Satans slaves? |
A26967 | shall I now by trifling prepare such griping and tormenting thoughts, for my awakened conscience? |
A26967 | shall the living lie as still& useless as the dead? |
A26967 | that know it must be now or never: and that this is all the time I shall have, on which an endless life dependeth? |
A26967 | that lived so exactly; obeyed so perfectly; walked so inoffensively and meekly; despising all the baits, and honours, and riches of the World? |
A26967 | that plowing and sowing are not more necessary to your harvest, then the work of holiness, in this day of grace, is necessary to your salvation? |
A26967 | what a stir the covetous and the voluptuous make for a sweetned draught of mortal poyson? |
A26967 | what is more acute then the peal of corn? |
A26967 | what needs there so much ado for your salvation? |
A26967 | what powerful commands, what promises, what threatnings, what holy examples of exceeding diligence of Christ and his Apostles? |
A26967 | what quickning words shalt thou find in Scripture, if thou wilt but bring thy heart thither as one that is willing to be quickened? |
A26967 | what shall I do? |
A26967 | what shall be thy desire, if thou loath and fly from thy felicity? |
A26967 | what''s that to the message which we come about to thee, what is that to the business that we are preaching of? |
A26967 | when Heaven or Hell depend much on it? |
A26967 | when they are undone for ever if they be not speedily delivered? |

A26967 | whether your sins be pardoned? |
A26967 | will God command the Sun to stand still, while thou rebellest or forgettest thy work and him? |
A26967 | will families be well ordered, and Church, or City, or Country well governed? |
A26967 | will not the comon distaste of Godliness in the world, sufficiently prejudice and avert them without thy helps? |
A26967 | will the careless sinners that I am bound to help, be converted and saved, with sitting still, and with some heartless cold endeavours? |
A26967 | will you do it, and do it seriously without delay? |
A26967 | wilt thou be glutting thee with the bait? |
A26967 | wilt thou be tasting of the poysoned cup? |
A26967 | — The Pharisees? |
A85492 | ( to the light in you I speak) Or will ye still be hireing of a man to give you the meaning? |
A85492 | All these obtained a good report through Faith; having not received the Promise; who being dead, yet speaketh? |
A85492 | And are there none such to be found amongst you, O ye Priests, Professors and People? |
A85492 | And can you think to be saved by him, who will not be led and guided by him? |
A85492 | And do ye not now plainly perceive how he have been thus long deluded by the Devil and his Instruments, to denie the light which lets you see this? |

A85492 | Or is the Scriptures me? |
A85492 | Or is the manner or form of eating, and drinking, or dipping, or sprinkling, that alters the nature, and makes it more saving to one, then to another? |
A85492 | Or is yours more pure and more saving? |
A85492 | Or was he learn''d it at any such place, and not by the revelation of Jesus Christ? |

A27107 | i Lord, evermore give us this bread? |
A27107 | if they be Saints, who are Scythians? |
A27107 | much more through death? |
A27107 | now( in my greatest need) canst thou speak nothing in my defence? |
A27107 | or for a prodigal child that fed on the husks of swine, to be admitted to eat the bread of life, at his father''s table? |
A27107 | or for him who fears for sin the tidings of death, to come, to hear from God the assurance of eternal life? |
A27107 | or to drink such precious blood with so lewd and lying a mouth? |
A27107 | or to lodge so blessed a Guest in so uncle an a stable? |
A27107 | or to whom didst thou ever wrong? |
A27107 | or who will succour me, if thou dost forsake, me? |
A27107 | or who, though invited, would not chuse with Mary rather to kneel at thy feet, than presume to sit with thee at thy Table? |
A27107 | shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
A27107 | shall we receive good at the hand of God, and not receive evil? |
A27107 | that is a most effectual sign and pledge of our Communion with Christ? |
A27107 | the bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ? |
A27107 | to have thy Garments parted, thy hands and feet nailed to the Cross? |
A27107 | what have we to do with thee, ● O Son of the most high God? |
A27107 | what pains and drudgery must thou endure at home and abroad to get maintenance? |
A27107 | what sanctified heart can but bleed, to behold how seldom they come to prayers? |
A27107 | what strangers they are at the Lord''s Table: what assiduous spectators they are at Stage- plays? |
A27107 | where shall I begin to describe thine endless misery? |
A27107 | who can abide the everlasting burning? |
A27107 | who can sufficiently express thy love, or commend thy pity, or extol thy praise? |
A27107 | who dare bless themselves, when God pronounceth them accursed? |
A27107 | yea, and cleave unto him most inseparably, when he seemeth( with the greatest frown and disgrace) to reject a Man, and to cast him out of his favour? |
A27107 | yea, to have thy innocent heart pierced with a cruel spear, and thy precious blood to be spilt before thy blessed mothers eyes? |
A27107 | † If thou wilt straitly mark mine iniquities, O Lord, where shall I stand? |
A27107 | † She was, she is( what can there more be said?) |
A27107 | † the Cup of blessing, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? |
A91791 | 11. then not for, nor by our beleeving; if we were not justified by his death, how are we justified by his bloud? |
A91791 | 13, 14. Who laid downe his life for ours, but Christ? |
A91791 | 14. Who finished transgressions, and made an end of sin, but Christ? |

A91791 | 19. to what purpose did he die for us? |
A91791 | 20. Who brought salvation, but Christ? |
A91791 | 20. Who hath redeemed us from all iniquities, but Christ? |
A91791 | 21 Who bare our sins in his own body, but Christ? |
A91791 | 24. Who is that just one that suffered for the unjust, but Christ? |

A91791 | 6. Who was made a curse for us, and delivered us from the curse, but Christ? |
A91791 | 7. Who appeared to take away sin, but Christ? |
A91791 | 7. Who hath carried away our sinnes, but Christ? |
A91791 | 8, 9. and to thou art not fit to judge or thy growth: is ● new borne babe able to judge of its growth? |
A91791 | AN Antidote promiseth some rare extract to expell poyson, a specious pretence; But how can poyson expell poyson? |
A91791 | And doth he now remember them? |
A91791 | And the people asked him, saying; What shall we doe? |
A91791 | Are not these contradictions? |
A91791 | Are you as frequent in duties, and as much in them now as ever? |
A91791 | Are you like the Angels in Heaven? |
A91791 | As soone as he did see his infirmitie he had other thoughts of God; saying, Who so great a God as our God? |
A91791 | Aske a reason of thy soule, why it is disquieted, why it is cast downe? |
A91791 | But if you aske the debtor, are not you in such a ones debt? |
A91791 | But may a soule say from whence then doe they come? |
A91791 | But what cause had these to feare? |
A91791 | By whose stripes are we healed, but Christs? |
A91791 | CHrist is his a Fathers chiefest choice, And I in b him the very same; Why should I not in c him rejoyce? |
A91791 | Can we heare false things spoken, and Gods truth, his way, and people condemned, and be silent, where is our zeale? |
A91791 | Can you make your selfe righteous? |
A91791 | Can you not say, time was when I was more affected with the love of God, and did more minde him, and his love? |
A91791 | Christs beleeving could not doe it( much lesse our beleeving) if it could, why did he dye? |
A91791 | Death fully freeth the Saints from all crosses, burdens, and infirmities, why should I feare that I would not escape? |
A91791 | Declaring how a soule may know and live in the sweet injoyment of the love of God,& c. Are the Consolations of God small to thee? |
A91791 | Did God ever commend or accept of the doing of that which he never commanded? |
A91791 | Doe yee not regard what violence is offered to the sufficiency of Christs sacrifice? |
A91791 | Doe you know Gods meanes, and the number of them? |
A91791 | Doe you make God and beliefe one, or doe you deny that God imputeth Righteousnesse? |
A91791 | Doth not Christ loose the end of his death, to die for their sinnes who shall perish? |
A91791 | Geree, Stephen, 1594- 1656? |
A91791 | God hath promised to pay you againe with increase: have you no faith? |
A91791 | Had not he lost his joy? |
A91791 | Have you as much zeale for God and his truth now as ever? |
A91791 | He alledgeth none but solid ones; Is Christ, his Prophets, and Apostles, no solid Authors with you? |
A91791 | He changeth not; if her speech could not be justified, what is that to us? |
A91791 | He feedeth upon ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he can not deliver his soule, nor say; Is there not a lie in my right hand? |
A91791 | He may not apply it to any person that doth not beleeve,& c. Whether sufficient grace is given to all for conversion? |
A91791 | How sweet are thy words unto my tast? |
A91791 | If ever you did love the things of the world lesse then you doe now? |
A91791 | If it were no way acted by us, why are we reproved for not beleeving; if we are not to doe it, why are we reproved for not doing it? |
A91791 | If not sonnes before he suffered, how could we be his brethren? |
A91791 | If sin and he were one in union; is the house and he that dwels in it one in union? |
A91791 | If the holy Spirit were not God, whence is it, that a sin against him shall not be forgiven? |
A91791 | Is Christs Righteousnesse thine? |
A91791 | Nor say; Is there not a lie? |
A91791 | Now what reason can be given, that the enemies to Christ, and his doctrine, should confesse such things of Christ, if they were not true? |
A91791 | Or who by d fathoming can finde it out? |
A91791 | Q. W ● et ● er Christ is offered to all or no? |
A91791 | Re signifieth againe, con signifieth together, ciliation, to call or move to, how is there a removing, where there was never a removing? |
A91791 | Say some, can sin be taken away, and in us too? |
A91791 | Shall a sin against God be forgiven, and not a sinne against a creature? |
A91791 | So Christs death is wonderfully fruitfull, who can reckon up his benefits? |
A91791 | Some say, Christ dyed for their sinnes who shall not be saved: But to what end shall Christ die for their sinnes who are not appointed to life? |
A91791 | That which is sufficient, is effectuall; if I put sufficient strength to move the whole earth, will not motion follow? |
A91791 | The answer of a good conscience is; O God, thy Sonne hath dyed for me; satisfaction is made; what more canst thou require of me? |
A91791 | The best estate of nature, is a state of enmity against God; for if these need any reconciliation, how much more enemies? |
A91791 | The strength of his delusion is such, that he can not say; Is there not a lie in my right hand? |
A91791 | Therefore consider, what doest thou live upon? |
A91791 | They exercise the fruits of the Spirit in us, how could we forgive our enemies, if we had none? |
A91791 | They shall all be taught of God; he is the best teacher, and they are the most learned that are taught by him, Who teacheth like him? |
A91791 | This is a sad condition, yet thus it may be with one that is the Lords; thus it was with Heman, who said; Lord, why castest thou off my soule? |
A91791 | Was it not enough, and to purpose? |
A91791 | Wee are called Saints, holy,& c. But if wee were not freed from sin, how are we holy? |
A91791 | What can be grievous to him whose eye is fixed on Heaven, and knows it to be his own? |
A91791 | What glorious sight of a love is this I see? |
A91791 | What if some did not beleeve, shall their unbeliefe make the faith of God of none effect? |
A91791 | What is it x worldly men desire? |
A91791 | What joy and peace had he, if Joy and peace faile? |
A91791 | What then doth it meane, is not he that is perfect without fault? |
A91791 | What will not one doe for that he loves? |
A91791 | What? |
A91791 | Where is life and peace till faith comes? |
A91791 | Whether Christ dyed for the sinnes of all Adams posteritie? |
A91791 | Whether all those for whose sinnes Christ dyed, shall be saved? |
A91791 | Who oppresseth most? |
A91791 | Who was made sin for us, but Christ? |
A91791 | Who was stricken, and smitten, afflicted, and wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities, but Christ? |
A91791 | Why is God said to be wrath with the Ephesians whilst out of Christ? |
A91791 | Why not faith, they being one in nature? |
A91791 | Why not for thee? |
A91791 | Without beleeving; how could they stay themselves upon the God of Israel? |
A91791 | are not spirituall duties something more wearisome and burdensome to thee, then once they were? |
A91791 | can you keep the Law? |
A91791 | can you trust a man with an hundred pound, and not God with a hundred pence? |
A91791 | canst thou doe too much for him, that hath done so much for thee? |
A91791 | doe you it to make us vile? |
A91791 | doth his promise faile for ever more? |
A91791 | have you not rested on the means? |
A91791 | have you used them in a right manner, measure, time, in sincerity? |
A91791 | have you used them in faith, expecting his blessing? |
A91791 | have your ends been good, and right placed? |
A91791 | how againe, unlesse the onenesse had been broken apieces? |
A91791 | how are our sinnes pardoned, if we be liable to suffer for them? |
A91791 | how together of those who were never asunder? |
A91791 | how unjust and unreasonable is your charge and inference? |
A91791 | is all this as nothing to thee? |
A91791 | it did faile him, he wanted it: and Heman, a good man, complaining saith; Lord, why castest thou off my soule? |
A91791 | or deny our selves in suffering wrong patiently, if none were offered unto us? |
A91791 | the communion of Saints once more desired, loved, and delighted in, then now? |
A91791 | what hurt is it to enter into glory? |
A91791 | what kinde of Saints are wee? |
A91791 | who can it declare? |
A91791 | why art thou cast downe, O my soule? |
A91791 | why hidest thou thy face from me? |
A91791 | why then doest thou not give him thy fi ● st love, and love him dearely and vehemently, that hath so loved thee? |
A58795 | ''T is true indeed we are naturally more free to Evil than the Angels, and some Angels perhaps were more free to it than others; but what then? |
A58795 | ''T is true, instead of conquering, we may, if we please, yield our selves captive to Folly and Wickedness; but what then? |
A58795 | 6. what doth the Lord require of thee? |
A58795 | AND if he be present with all things, how is it imaginable he should sit still among them, and exercise no Providence over them? |
A58795 | AND yet how commonly do we see men pass judgment on Gods Nature from such particular Providences? |
A58795 | Again, How came the Air which hath no Design in it self to place it self so commodiously as it hath done between the Earth and the Heavens? |
A58795 | And by what other Right can any Person or Persons pretend to govern in Gods Kingdom under him, but by Commission from him? |
A58795 | And how can they be immediately under him if they are not immediately authorized by him? |
A58795 | And how can we conceive such active Perfections as these to be present with all things without ever acting upon them? |
A58795 | And if he can not relieve us, to what end should we hope in him, depend upon him, or pray to him? |
A58795 | And if it were not inconsistent with the Divine Goodness to create free Agents, why should it be inconsistent with it to permit them to act freely? |
A58795 | And if we owe not our Lives and Beings to his Power, what right hath he to exact our Obedience? |
A58795 | And indeed to what purpose should he? |
A58795 | And is a Man easier made by Chance than his Picture? |
A58795 | And then how is it possible that any temptation whatsoever should be able to cope with or prevail against''em? |
A58795 | And this being so, of what unspeakable Consequence are the Actions of Men, that thus draw after''em a Chain of Joys or Woes as long as Eternity? |
A58795 | And what I beseech you is the reason that God should thus dislike his own Institutions? |
A58795 | And what if among men there are some Monsters in respect of their Minds, as well as others in respect of their Bodies? |
A58795 | And what is there in all this that is any way unsutable, yea, that is not every way answerable to the Goodness of Providence? |
A58795 | Angels and Brutes, why should it be thought unsutable to make a middle Nature between them? |
A58795 | BUT you will say, by these Mens Examples you plainly see what a Mystery of Iniquity there is in religious Pretences; and what then? |
A58795 | But pray what Reputation can a Man have to forfeit, that owns no other Law or Obligation but his Interest? |
A58795 | But what an unreasonable way of concluding is this? |
A58795 | Can we think it more advantageous to us that Atheism should be true, than that Humane Society should be upheld and perpetuated? |
A58795 | For I would fain know, do Governors govern by Gods Authority or the Peoples? |
A58795 | For do we not see Men very often act against their Consciences, and fly in the face of their own Convictions? |
A58795 | For how can God be present by any Power, or Virtue or Efficacy of his Nature, in any Place from whence the real Substance of his Divinity is excluded? |
A58795 | For how can any cause fit any two things to one another without having some Idea in his mind of the natures of them both? |
A58795 | For how can he be supreme Governor of the World, if all other Governments are not immediately under him? |
A58795 | For how can we conceive that infinite Wisdom should be present where a world of things are to be ordered, and yet order nothing? |
A58795 | For if he sees not into our Affairs, how can he succour and relieve us? |
A58795 | For if the World be not his, why should we pray to him for what we want of it, or praise him for what we enjoy? |
A58795 | For if there be no God, what should oblige any to own any Superiour, or pay any Submission? |
A58795 | For if we depend not on him, what have we to do with him? |
A58795 | For to what purpose should we pray to a God that is not at leisure to hear us, or hope in a God that is not concerned to help us? |
A58795 | For what can any Mans Promise signifie, if he be under no Obligation but Interest? |
A58795 | For what doth that Wisdom signifie that contrives nothing? |
A58795 | For what good is there so good as Heaven, or what evil so bad as Hell? |
A58795 | For what less than an infinite Power can bear a due Proportion to such a vast and immense World? |
A58795 | For what should we praise him if he be no ways beneficial to the World? |
A58795 | How blank and forlorn will the Fool look to find himself thus fatally mistaken? |
A58795 | How can I think much to serve him, when I serve my self by it to the best Purpose in the World? |
A58795 | How can he operate by his own immediate Efficiency where he is not? |
A58795 | How then can we suppose that an infinite Power whose End is Action, should be present where a World of things are to be done, and do nothing? |
A58795 | If it might not have been how came it to be? |
A58795 | If not, how apparently do we engage against our own Interest, when we espouse the Cause of Irreligion? |
A58795 | If there be any thing in this World so contemptible as not to deserve his Regard, why did he create it? |
A58795 | If there be not, why should he disdain to govern it? |
A58795 | In a word, it requires us to live in Vnity with the Church, and not to separate our selves from her sacred Assemblies; and for what other reason? |
A58795 | Is Providence to be blamed for leaving Mens Hands at Liberty, because some have been so desperate as to cut their own Throats? |
A58795 | It enjoyns us to be Baptized into the name of Jesus; and for what purpose? |
A58795 | It is true indeed, he designs to glorifie himself in our happiness; but how? |
A58795 | It requires us to commemorate our Saviour''s Passion in a Sacramental Communion of his Body and Blood; and to what End? |
A58795 | Marmoreo Licinus tumulo jacet, at Cato parvo, Pompeius nullo, quis putet esse Deos? |
A58795 | Not from the things themselves sure; for how can they have Art that have no Reason? |
A58795 | Now how ridiculous are these Affections in Humane Nature, if there be no such Being as a God? |
A58795 | Now whence I beseech you proceeds this curious, inimitable Art which we with all our Reason can neither transcribe nor comprehend? |
A58795 | Now whence should this proceed? |
A58795 | On the other hand the bad Man triumphs and rejoyces at present; but what follows? |
A58795 | Or how long might a Man be in sprinkling Colours upon a Canvas with a careless Hand, before they would happen to fall into the exact Picture of a Man? |
A58795 | Or if some Body must needs intervene, why was it not Fire or Water as well as Air, which of all other Bodies is the most commodious? |
A58795 | Or thankfully acknowledg his Goodness when he supplies us with what we need? |
A58795 | Or that Goodness that is good for nothing? |
A58795 | Or that Justice which distributes nothing? |
A58795 | Or that Power which doth nothing? |
A58795 | Or that infinite Goodness should be present where a world of good is to be done, and do no good at all? |
A58795 | Or to render Homage to a Being on whom we have no Dependence? |
A58795 | Or what Loyalty for a Traitor to discover his Conspirators within sight of a Wrack? |
A58795 | So also our blessed Saviour sums up the Whole Duty of Man into two Particulars, and what are they? |
A58795 | That infinite Power should be present where a world of things are to be done, and yet do nothing? |
A58795 | The wicked Licinus lies in a Marble Tomb, but Cato in a small one, and Pompey in none, who would think there were gods? |
A58795 | To be sure if it be for his Interest he will do what he says without any Promise; but if it be not, what Promise can oblige him? |
A58795 | WHO but a Mad- man therefore would ever espouse the Cause of Atheism, or make it his Interest to exclude God out of the World? |
A58795 | Was God obliged in Goodness to make all Kinds of Beings equally perfect? |
A58795 | What Charity is it for a Miser to lend his Money upon Assurance of twenty per cent? |
A58795 | What can be more absurd than for Men to reject Religion because Mens Opinions about it have been so divided? |
A58795 | What reason have we to trust in a Being from whom we expect no Support? |
A58795 | What should move us to love a God that bestows no Good, or to fear a God that inflicts no Evil, or to obey a God that hath no Regard of our Actions? |
A58795 | What therefore can God do more worthy of himself than to govern the World well and wisely? |
A58795 | When ye come to appear before me, who hath required these things at your hands, to tread my Courts? |
A58795 | Whereas in such a vast and immense Space they might have found ten thousand Millions of other Places and Distances to fix in? |
A58795 | Wherewithall shall I come before the Lord and bow my self before the high God? |
A58795 | Whither saith the Psalmist, shall I go from thy Spirit, or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
A58795 | Why is there not a wide vacuity between? |
A58795 | Why should it be below him to provide for any thing which was not below him to create? |
A58795 | Why should they watch and pray and strive, and contend against a corrupt Nature? |
A58795 | Why should we employ our Possessions in his Service, or think our selves obliged to return him any Part of them in pious or charitable Works? |
A58795 | Why should we patiently submit to his Disposal when he deprives us of what we have? |
A58795 | Why should we thank him if we receive nothing from him? |
A58795 | You will say it is his Interest to keep his Word, because otherwise he will forfeit his Reputation for the future? |
A58795 | alas, this is a conceit, if possible, more ridiculous than the former; for how is it possible to imagine that Chance should ever make a Man? |
A58795 | and in a word, that can neither intend well nor prosecute wisely? |
A58795 | and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? |
A58795 | and what would these faculties signifie were there no such sounds or odours or savours? |
A58795 | but pray what made this necessity? |
A58795 | in the Fountains and Rivers, that so it may be fit to fructify the Earth, and be a wholesom Drink for its Animals? |
A58795 | must Religion be a Cheat because bad Men play tricks with it, and make it a Cloak for their Knavery? |
A58795 | or that infinite Goodness whose End is doing good, should be present where a World of good is to be done, and do none at all? |
A58795 | or where can we repose our restless Thoughts but in his Providence? |
A58795 | or who will ever presume upon that Mans Word and Engagement, whose avowed Principle it is to be honest no longer than he can gain by it? |
A58795 | that infinite Wisdom whose End is ordering and contriving, should be present where a World of things are to be ordered, and order nothing? |
A58795 | what is this but to cast Lots for their Souls, and throw Cross or Pile for their eternal Salvation? |
A58795 | what is this but to throw Dice for our Souls, and to venture our Salvation on a wild Vncertainty? |
A58795 | yea do not I fill Heaven and Earth? |
A05817 | & to make them truely honourable before God in Piety, who are now onely honourable before men in vanitie? |
A05817 | ( To what end?) |
A05817 | * Aristotle, Cicero, Bernard, Bocace, Erasmus, Luther, Melancthon, Sturmi ● s,& c.* She was, she is( what can there more be said?) |
A05817 | * For vvhat shall it profit a man by abstinence to humble his body; if his minde swels with pride? |
A05817 | * Quid prodest tenuari corpus abstinentia, si animus intumescit superbia? |
A05817 | * Quomodo negane carnem capacem esse resurrectionis, quae sanguine& corpore Christi nutritur? |
A05817 | * Si sola gula peccauit, sola ieiunet& sufficit: Si vero peccauerunt& mēbra caetera, cùr non ieiunent& ipsa? |

A05817 | 3 As thou entrest into the Church, say; How fearefull is this place? |
A05817 | 4 Peter, Iames, and Iohn, knew Moses and Elias in the transfiguration: how much more shall wee know one an other, when wee shall be all glorified? |
A05817 | 7 Doest thou heartily forgiue all vvrongs, and offences done or offered vnto thee, by any manner of person whatsoeuer? |
A05817 | 7 Whether the glory of GOD, or good of thy neighbour doth require it? |
A05817 | 7.11* Quid prodest vacuare corpus ab escis,& animam replere peccatis? |
A05817 | 9 Doest thou firmely beleeue, that thy body shall be raised vp out of the Graue, at the sound of the last Trumpet? |
A05817 | And doest thou as willingly( from thy heart) aske forgiuenesse of them, whom thou hast grieuously wronged in word or deede? |
A05817 | And doest thou not well deserue that God should forget to saue thee in thy death: vvho art so vnmindefull now to serue him in thy life? |
A05817 | And how can there be worse, seeing Vanitie knowes not how to be vainer, nor Wickednesse how to be more wicked? |
A05817 | And if Angels in Heauen d reioyce so much at the conuersion of a sinner? |
A05817 | And if friends be so vnfaithfull in a mans life? |
A05817 | And if the man that found but his lost Sheepe reioyced so much; how canst thou hauing found the Sauiour of the World but reioyce much more? |
A05817 | And if thou vvilt breake thy- sleepe earely and late for worldly gaine: how much more shouldest thou doe it for the seruice of God? |

A93419 | With how many passions have I been transported, beyond the bounds of Religion? |
A93419 | With what spirituall benefits doth Christ bless the baptized? |

A75720 | & how shall men be like unto GOD? |
A75720 | And among Trees, doth not the Oak, t after his long growth to perfection, stand, to our great profit, even for ever almost? |
A75720 | And by Departing upon the same day Eighty one years after his Birth, to fulfill of purpose Nine times Ninè, the most perfect Number? |
A75720 | And call you that Aethereal? |
A75720 | And to be plain, did I not shew before, what a Jewel of Health it were, to use all raw and temperate Meats? |
A75720 | And what is the cause? |
A75720 | And what is this our Heavenly Medicine but the same? |
A75720 | Aristotle indeed is the Author of this Story, that the Elephant liveth three hundred years; How then? |
A75720 | Besides, doth not one among them confess himself, o they are not to be believed, and held as Witnesses? |
A75720 | But how hath every thing all the Virtues of Heaven and Earth, that is, all the Curing and Healing power of all things in the World? |
A75720 | But how if the g Minerals by feeding, wax and grow as g well as Plants or Wights? |
A75720 | But how in Sleep? |
A75720 | But how is all this done? |
A75720 | But how is this: And which way doth the Body so violently over- rule, and carry away the Will and Mind after her? |
A75720 | But how may this Disease be cured? |
A75720 | But how may this Heat be brought again? |
A75720 | But how may we prove this? |
A75720 | But how shall we get the like fine Oyl and first Moisture? |
A75720 | But in such variety of hard and slippery Matter, whence were it best to set out? |
A75720 | But now why is Seed given unto things? |
A75720 | But what Force can that be? |
A75720 | But what be their new and marvellous means? |
A75720 | But what care I? |
A75720 | But what is he, say they, that can see the Divine Art and Way whereby GOD made his great and mighty Work? |
A75720 | But what is that divine Pattern? |
A75720 | But what is this Witty Fire? |
A75720 | But what need we fly with Aristotle to any divine shelter? |
A75720 | But what say we to Plants? |
A75720 | But where shall we finde it, say they? |
A75720 | But which is the Seat of the Chief Judge? |
A75720 | But why do we make such great haste? |
A75720 | Could any of these very violent and mortal Poisons, which I brought in above, so easily and roundly destroy, as this would help and save us? |
A75720 | Did I not tell you it sprung out of a confused heap of Middle- Minerals, and was a Mineral Breath and Vapour? |
A75720 | Doth not Plato, once a Poet, and then a wise Philosopher, p chase them up and down in all places? |
A75720 | Had it not been better to have brought the Springs of Water nearer, and to have bridled, as Plāto saith, that mad God with the sober? |
A75720 | How easily shall they cast down all that comes in their way, break and bruise all to powder? |
A75720 | How is that? |
A75720 | How is this? |
A75720 | How then? |
A75720 | How then? |
A75720 | I grant that, as in all good Arts, so in this, because it is sweetest, there be some Drones, crept in among the Swarm; what then? |
A75720 | If he worketh and mingleth( as I proved above) all perfect mingled Bodies, then what shall lett and bar him from this labour also? |
A75720 | If some of these, nay all may be spared, why not our Meat as well? |
A75720 | In that fine Oyl, and unseen first Fat and Moisture? |
A75720 | Is it any thing else, but a part of Man( except his Minde) rotted in a continual, even, gentle, moist and wightly Heat? |
A75720 | Is it not an idle, and, as it were, a covetous and envious Life, turned back upon it self, and estranged from all outward Action applied to other? |
A75720 | Is it not as common in use, and indeed as needful to Spit, and to avoid another nameless Leaving, and to Drink, but to Sleep especially? |
A75720 | Is it not clear enough, that all things seek their likes, and shun their Contraries? |
A75720 | Is it not like, that the whole Body rotted in like manner, and in a Womb agreeable, shall swim out, at last quicken, and arise the same thing? |
A75720 | Is it then a Wonder if Iron or Copper, be by some pretty slight, or kindly skill defended from all Fire, and made sure and stedfast? |
A75720 | Is not a Mineral Body far better? |
A75720 | Is not the Matter clear enough? |
A75720 | Is not this a much more hard and greater kindly change and alteration than that we spake of? |
A75720 | Is there any thing in the World to be compared unto the marvellous Work which he would make in our Body? |
A75720 | Judge then, you that have Judgement, whether it were not like to bestir it self, as lustily as the Lightning? |
A75720 | Let us see — And to step over the Chameleon, because it is a cold and bloodless Wight, what may we say to a Bird which is a hot and perfect one? |
A75720 | Let us then awake our old Studies out of sleep, and hye us to them: what need many words? |
A75720 | Might he not have had some such Medicine? |
A75720 | Might not all hurt and danger of Meat be then fore- stalled? |
A75720 | Nay, have you not heard of the little a Dog in the West- India, which singeth so sweetly all the Night long, neither Night nor Day eating any thing? |
A75720 | Nay, is it not like he had, when he was in l Aegypt among the Priests and Wise- men, and brought home Learning from them? |
A75720 | Not right and streight to the matter? |
A75720 | Now for the Son of Gold and Hermes his Medicine, what kinde of Fire is he, when he can be no such Elemental extreme hot and dry Fire? |
A75720 | Or if he saw it, learn and match it by Imitation? |
A75720 | Quae specie vulgo prohibent differre metalla? |
A75720 | Sed quid? |
A75720 | That all Men feel the unpleasant scent of Copper, and other base metals? |
A75720 | Then how shall we purge out this foul and greasie Workman to make the work of any Metal close and well- coloured? |
A75720 | Then let us pass over to that other Branch; May we not shun the luring Baits of our Diet, and take such Meat as is most temperate and near our Nature? |
A75720 | Then to encounter him with his worthy Master, Plato; If that were the best Life, or the Life of GOD, why did GOD make the World? |
A75720 | Then what do you doubt? |
A75720 | Then what is Youth? |
A75720 | Then why are Children and old Folk less active, fruitful and beautiful than the younger sort, but for want of heat? |
A75720 | Then, to finde this Happiness of Heaven among Men, to whom were it best to travel? |
A75720 | Then, to turn my Speech, which way were it best to set forward? |
A75720 | Then, what means may we finde? |
A75720 | Then, which is the lower way, and lesser Skill following Nature? |
A75720 | To cut off living Wights, and to come to Plants, are not Trees, the longer lived the better in use, for that long growth and ripening? |
A75720 | To this, what Colour springs from Cold but his own waterish and earthy colour? |
A75720 | Unto Poets, think you? |
A75720 | We will fetch it from that way, which we saw Nature take even now beneath the Ground: What is that? |
A75720 | Were it not meet the means and helps unto BLISSE should be first rid and cleared, before we come to BLISSE it self? |
A75720 | What can be more divinely spoken, and more cross to that former foul and godless Opinion? |
A75720 | What doth now remain? |
A75720 | What if we could fast for ever, and live without all Food? |
A75720 | What is remaining? |
A75720 | What is the Reason? |
A75720 | What is then behinde? |
A75720 | What is then to be said more? |
A75720 | What is to be said more in this matter? |
A75720 | What need I pray in aid of any moe examples? |
A75720 | What need I say more? |
A75720 | What need I say more? |
A75720 | What need many more words? |
A75720 | What need we more? |
A75720 | What say the Leaches to this matter? |
A75720 | What shall we set against the weight of so many great Mens Authorities? |
A75720 | What should I say more of this Stone? |
A75720 | What should I say of the learned Men, whose whole care and practise, drift and study, is nothing else but to finde and set down the Truth? |
A75720 | What should a Man say to this matter? |
A75720 | What then preserveth Heat? |
A75720 | What thing in the sturdiest Mettal can be able to withstand them? |
A75720 | What were best to be done in this matter? |
A75720 | What? |
A75720 | Where then shall our Life finde Food and Sustenance, say you, fit to bear it up, and maintain his Being? |
A75720 | Why doth Coppress water part and draw away Silver from Gold? |
A75720 | Why not? |
A75720 | Will they not abide the violence? |
A75720 | and among them to give Long Life the foremost place, if not for his worthiness, yet for his behoof and necessity? |
A75720 | and in one say, q They be besides themselves when they sit on their Muses stool, and run like a Spring, pouring out all that comes? |
A75720 | and then dress the same, after the most kindly and wholsome manner, seasoning it well with Labour, Mirth and Sleep? |
A75720 | and then that by the same( though other easie means would serve) because it is so temperate, the Body may be brought and held in square and temper? |
A75720 | and therefore, if it be raised to as great a Fineness, much stronger in Working, than the gentle and loose temper of a Wight or Plant? |
A75720 | and when he speaks so much and often in disgrace of his own Country m Physick, though Hippocrates himself then reigned? |
A75720 | because you know not how to do it, will you fashion all Men by your own Mold? |
A75720 | bid the Lepers swallow it? |
A75720 | especially when one weak Star, a soft Fire of Heaven, is not able to make so fine a Work, so far and highly sundred? |
A75720 | how can that which was once Seed, and before that Blood, and first of all a Plant, become a Body so fine, clean and Aethereal? |
A75720 | how many times more then a weak and gross Mineral binder? |
A75720 | mix it with their d Pills and Electuaries? |
A75720 | or else for Bears and Apes, as i Galen did the Germans? |
A75720 | shall me mislike in like manner of this Man, and refuse his Witness? |
A75720 | shall we cast them off for untoward Changelings, as the foolish Women think? |
A75720 | than there is found? |
A75720 | the depth and hardnesse of the Rock? |
A75720 | what needed more words? |
A75720 | what preserveth this natural and heavenly Heat of ours? |
A75720 | when did you see the contrary? |
A75720 | which Way first to take? |
A75720 | which way is this incredible course performed? |
A75720 | would not that stop the widest Mouthes, trow you, in all this lavish Company? |
A75720 | yea,( and that) in his own and all other mens Understanding? |
A75720 | — Then how doth the PHILOSOPHERS STONE, and the naturall Son of Gold it self turn base Metals into Gold? |
A41668 | & c. Who hath woe? |
A41668 | ''T would be well for thee, Why is that all ● … hou hast to say in so important a case? |
A41668 | ''T would be well for thee, dost thou say, to turn to God? |
A41668 | 1. Who shall dwell in Gods holy Hill? |
A41668 | 31, 32, Why will ye die? |
A41668 | 4, 6 As also that ejaculatory Prayer of the penitent thief, Lordre member me when thou comest into thy Kingdom? |
A41668 | Ah Young Men, is your peace yet to be made with God? |
A41668 | Alas what is the richest Portion, the most exquisite Beauty, and the rarest parts, in comparison of a mind inobled with Grace and Ver ● … ue? |
A41668 | And how canst thou look to behold the face of the Lord Jesus with comfort, if thou bring not unto him thy Youth and strength? |
A41668 | And how canst thou think that thou hast a righteous Soul in thee, if thou take delight in uttering, or hearing filthy speeches? |
A41668 | And how many rich men who have had fair Revenues left them by their Fathers, have in a short time bezel''d all away by Drinking? |
A41668 | And how many, who though they have lived to old age, yet have been more hardened against Repentance, than in their Youth? |
A41668 | And how shameful that God, to whom thy whole life is due, should have only thy bran, and dreggs? |
A41668 | And if not, why dost thou not presently reform, and return to the Lord? |
A41668 | And if they be dead, will you not be afraid to meet them at the Tribunal of Jesus Christ, in an Unregenerate condition? |
A41668 | And if thou hast never so fair and hopeful a beginning, yet who knows what may be thy lot before the end of thy day? |
A41668 | And is the time allotted for these things both short and uncertain, and yet do ye squander it away in sports and pastimes? |
A41668 | And is this a priviledge to be so much desired, and laboured after, to descend with pomp into the pit? |
A41668 | And shall I need to use Arguments to perswade thee? |
A41668 | And to give up thy self to God, to devote thy self to his fear and service? |
A41668 | And we find that what he commanded, himself practised? |
A41668 | And what a Swine is this holy Soul become? |
A41668 | And what credit doth it procure, unless amongst such debauched ones, whose applause is a reproach? |
A41668 | And what if it should be so with thee? |
A41668 | And what sign is it in thee that lovest and associatest with the haters of the Brethren? |
A41668 | And what will it profit thee to save thy goods, and lose thy Soul? |
A41668 | And where is the understanding of a Drunkard? |
A41668 | And who knoweth but thou maist find the same effect of the Word upon thy soul, whilst thou art waiting upon it? |
A41668 | Are all these kind of Lyes sinful? |
A41668 | Are any of them addicted to Drunkenness, Lying, or Swearing? |
A41668 | Are they no company for thee, who are no friends to Godliness? |
A41668 | Are you death- proof, and hell- proof? |
A41668 | Art thou for profit? |
A41668 | Art thou reformed? |
A41668 | Art thou so in love with a carnal and earthly life, that thou wilt sell thy life to the Devil, rather than change thy course? |
A41668 | Art thou yet for thine old ways, and sensual delights? |
A41668 | As thy Repentance must be speedy without delay, so must thy Restitution: For what true Repentance can there be without Restitution? |
A41668 | Because God is gracious, shall we thereupon prove the more ungracious and rebellious against him, and his Commandments? |
A41668 | Because God is merciful, shall we be so ungrateful, as thereupon to run on in a course of sinning against him, presuming on his mercy to the last? |
A41668 | Because one hath wronged thee, will that be thy warrant to wrong another? |
A41668 | Besides canst thou imagine that such a sinner deserveth favour, who cometh in to serve God at last, when he can serve his Lust no longer? |
A41668 | But God is angry with thee, thou art a guilty Creature, and by thy sins hast fallen under his wrath and displeasure; how wilt thou do for that? |
A41668 | But art thou sure that there is such a place as Heaven, and such blessedness there? |
A41668 | But doth God put off doing good to you, till you are Old? |
A41668 | But what if it should be so, if thou shouldst be snatch''d from the Ale- bench, and brought to Judgment? |
A41668 | But where do you read in Scripture of any Saint that was overcome with this sin? |
A41668 | But who is it shall bring thee to Heaven? |
A41668 | But whose Child art thou the while? |
A41668 | But wilt thou therefore eat to Gluttony, and allow thy self in such intemperance, as will make thee as ready to curse God, as to bless and praise him? |
A41668 | Can a man be born when he is old? |
A41668 | Can it free you from cares? |
A41668 | Can it keep you from the Dropsie, Feaver, Gout, or other bodily Diseases? |
A41668 | Can it lengthen your dayes? |
A41668 | Can it preserve you from death, or obtain the pardon of your sins? |
A41668 | Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots? |
A41668 | Can they obtain the pardon of thy sins? |
A41668 | Canst thou think God will accept thereof? |
A41668 | Consider, I beseech you, how little good your wealth can do you? |
A41668 | Dare you to meet the Judge of all the earth, and to stand before his Bar with all your loads of guilt upon you? |
A41668 | Do as thou wouldst be done by: Wouldst thou not be evil spoken of? |
A41668 | Do not you fear the wrath of the Lamb? |
A41668 | Do you lack Pass- time? |
A41668 | Do you sit at the Wine, and chear your selves with strong Drink? |
A41668 | Dost thou love thy body? |
A41668 | Dost thou love thy credit? |
A41668 | Dost thou love thy goods? |
A41668 | Doth it not then concern thee speedily, without any further delay, to set about it, and to improve thy precious time to the best advantage? |
A41668 | Doth the Devil carry away that? |
A41668 | Enquire diligently, what would God have me do? |
A41668 | For how many do we see abounding with wealth, who yet have unquiet and discontented spirits? |
A41668 | For what are they indeed but dumb Orators to perswade to Lust? |
A41668 | For what can be more righteous, than that they should be left to forget God when they are old, who would not remember him in their Youth? |
A41668 | For what comfortable Society, or commerce can there be, where men regard not what they say? |
A41668 | For what doth more abridge men of pleasure and delight, than walking in the ways of godliness? |
A41668 | For what if thy great change should come before the change of thy heart? |
A41668 | For what is the gain of many thousands, nay of all the wealth in the World to the loss off thy precious soul? |
A41668 | For what will it advantage a man to gain a little Earth with the loss of Heaven? |
A41668 | For when the Devil findeth men most idle, he will be sure to set them on his work? |
A41668 | God being a just God, is it not just, that he should reject them for ever, who have for a long time rejected him? |
A41668 | God promises and rewards with spiritual and eternal blessings, but what is this to a carnal mind? |
A41668 | Hast thou Grace? |
A41668 | Hast thou fallen into sin? |
A41668 | Hast thou hearkened to it? |
A41668 | Hast thou not a dead Soul to be quickned? |
A41668 | Hast thou not done enough to the damning thine own Soul, but thou must go on further in thy wicked and ungodly courses? |
A41668 | Hast thou repented? |
A41668 | Have you forgotten what charge they laid upon you to fear the Lord? |
A41668 | Have you not oft- times said in selling your commodities, It is good, yea very good, and no better to be had for money, when you know it is naught? |
A41668 | Have you not often said, That such a commodity stood you in so much, when as indeed it cost you far less? |
A41668 | He that uses to Lye, how can he be believed when he speaks truth? |
A41668 | Holy thoughts are something of the root of an holy life: who knows how much precious fruit may be in a good thought? |
A41668 | How can Chastity be preserved, when such provocations to Lust are continually used? |
A41668 | How can I spend my time to better advantage, than by making the everlasting Kingdom sure to me? |
A41668 | How can I, saith he, do this great wickedness, and sin against God? |
A41668 | How can it be expected, that such who are in a manner past working, should go thorow the greatest works, that in this world are to be performed? |
A41668 | How can you imagine to go through all all these works with a small degree of grace, and measure of strength? |
A41668 | How few do we find among all the Disciples of Christ, that came in at the last hour? |
A41668 | How graciously did God answer that Ejaculatory Prayer of David against Achitophels Counsel, by defeating the same, and turning it into Foolishness? |
A41668 | How graciously did God answer that ejaculatory Prayer of Nehemiah by enclining the heart of the King to send him to Ierusalem? |
A41668 | How is it that you are not all upon your knees, or fallen upon your faces? |
A41668 | How many a man is there, that hath lost a good living, because he would keep a good Conscience? |
A41668 | How many are apt to work upon the unskilfulness, and ignorance, or the necessity of the buyer? |
A41668 | How many instances have there been in the world, of men that have died Drunken? |
A41668 | How many seek to put off all the bad money they can, though thy know it to be bad, even for good Wares? |
A41668 | How much more the curious Fabrick of mans Body, and the glorious Host of Heaven? |
A41668 | How sad will it be with many, when they shall see how many pounds they have spent in Drink, and how little for Gods honour? |
A41668 | How seldom do we hear of an old sinner converted? |
A41668 | How seldom dost thou spend any pains this way? |
A41668 | How shall a man know what to look for, or what to trust to, unless men speak the truth one to another? |
A41668 | How should this consideration stir you up to a greater watchfulness against the same? |
A41668 | How will he take it at thy hands? |
A41668 | How will it be with thee if thou repent not? |
A41668 | How will your courage come down, and your brisk and wanton looks be appaled? |
A41668 | How would God have me live? |
A41668 | I answer, Peradventure thou mayest live another day ▪ But what man, in his right senses, would put his Everlasting Salvation upon a Peradventure? |
A41668 | I doubt there may be need enough: How hardly are sinners perswaded in to God? |
A41668 | I, but is there not an higher necessity here? |
A41668 | IS it a duty incumbent upon all Young Men to consecrate themselves to the service of God? |
A41668 | If Custom will not excuse the Thief for his Stealing, nor the Adulterer for his Whoring, how shall it excuse the Swearer for his swearing? |
A41668 | If God were strict to mark what we do amiss, what would became of us? |
A41668 | If any shall ask, wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? |
A41668 | If it be so, how canst thou think thy self sincere? |

A41668 | Is it not necessary for me to look to the salvation of my soul? |
A41668 | Is it too soon for thee yet to be happy? |
A41668 | Is not Christ and Grace more necessary than thy daily bread? |
A41668 | Is not this it thou sayest, and dost thou not herein say well for thy self? |
A41668 | Is not this man above all others become Bruitish in his knowledge? |
A41668 | Is not thy Soul more than thy Body? |
A41668 | Is that all thou hast to say, Caveat Emptor? |
A41668 | Is that to serve God, and save thy Soul? |
A41668 | Is the judgement to come but abugbear? |
A41668 | Is the unclean spirit departed from thee? |
A41668 | Is there none of all this, nor nothing else which thou allowest thy self in the neglect of? |
A41668 | Is there not a necessity laid upon me? |
A41668 | Is there not one Lust that thou wouldst have spared to thee? |
A41668 | Is this a state to laugh and be so merry in? |
A41668 | Is this a state to take your rest in? |
A41668 | Is this thy reconciliation to God? |
A41668 | Is this thy thankfulness for the bounty of the Lord to thee, to make such use of it, that thou art good for just nothing? |
A41668 | Is thy dulness and coldness all that thou wilt spare to the God of thy spirits? |
A41668 | Is thy life a life of obedience to the Faith? |
A41668 | It may be thou hast never done it, nor so much as seriously put the question to thy self, Whose Child am I? |
A41668 | Lastly, dost thou love thy soul? |
A41668 | Many things thou dost, and therein thou comfortest thy self; but are there not many things also which thou knowest thou shouldst do, but wilt not? |
A41668 | Must I not either turn or burn? |
A41668 | Nay, how can such say, that they love God at all in truth and sincerity, when they delight not in communion with him? |
A41668 | Nothing can be accounted our happiness? |

A65292 | Now then Christian, Canst thou say, that this marvelous light of the Spirit hath dawned upon thee? |
A65292 | O saith the ● oul, if I knew God loved me, I could rejoyce; dost thou love God? |
A65292 | Oh how far are they from being lovers of God, who scarce ever think of God? |
A65292 | Oh saith the soul, Hath God been so good to me? |
A65292 | Oh therefore, how nearly doth it concern you, to make your calling sure? |
A65292 | Oh wretch, Dost thou live upon God every day, yet not love him? |
A65292 | Oh wretch, did Christ bleed for sin, and dost thou laugh at it? |
A65292 | Peter, lovest thou me? |
A65292 | Quid retribuam Domino? |
A65292 | Remember David, he ventured presumptuously on sin, and what got he? |
A65292 | Saw ye him whom my soul loves? |
A65292 | Shall not Flowers sweeter then Weeds? |
A65292 | Shall we be discontented at that which works for our good*? |
A65292 | Simon, lovest thou me? |
A65292 | Sinners shun acquaintance with God, they count his presence a burden; and are these Lovers of God? |
A65292 | So I say of wo ● ldly things, Are not ye much better than they? |
A65292 | So it may be said, How weak is our love to God? |
A65292 | So saith a gracious heart, Lord, what am I, that it should be better with me than others? |
A65292 | So the Lord may bruise us by afflictions, but it is to enrich us, these afflictions work for us a weight of glory; and shall we be discontented? |
A65292 | So, when God is gone, what have we more? |
A65292 | Some of the Iews kept their Idol Feasts, yet would come to the Lords Table; saith the Apostle, Do you provoke the Lord to wrath? |
A65292 | Such a friend is God, he gives thee thy breath, he bestows a livelihood upon thee, and wilt thou not love him? |
A65292 | THis may serve for a sharp Reprehension to such as have not a dram of love to God in their hearts: And are there such Miscreants alive? |
A65292 | The Angels are of the Saints Life- guard, yea, the chief of the Angels; Are they not all ministring spirits? |
A65292 | The Graces are our Evidences for Heaven; is it not good to have our Evidences ready at the hour of death? |
A65292 | The Promises are Dei Chirographum( as Austin calls them) a Bill of Gods hand; is it not good to have security? |
A65292 | The Promises are the Breasts of the Gospel; and is not the Breast for the good of the Infan ●? |
A65292 | The same affliction converts one, hardens another? |
A65292 | Then went King David in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God? |
A65292 | These are far from loving God: Does he love his friend, that loves to do him an injury? |
A65292 | They are no sooner born of the Spirit, but they are heirs to a Crown: God is their Portion, and Heaven is their Mansion, and shall not they rejoyce? |
A65292 | They tread every day on the Banks of the bottomless pit; and what if death should give them a jog? |
A65292 | Think with thy self, O Christian, why should God be more propi ● ious to thee, than to another? |
A65292 | Thou that canst not love another because of his infirmities, how wouldst thou have God love thee? |
A65292 | Thou wilt love thy Prince if he saves thy life, and wilt thou not love God who gives thee thy life? |
A65292 | Thy Maker is thy Husband: And shall not a Wife love her Husband? |
A65292 | VVhat could God foresee in us but Pollution, and rebellion? |
A65292 | Was the Head Crowned with Thorns, and do we think to be Crowned with Roses? |
A65292 | What Load- stone so powerful to draw love, as the blessed Deity? |
A65292 | What Po ● ● ti ● ian or Moralist ever placed happinesse in the Crosse? |
A65292 | What ailed thee, O thou Sea, that thou fleddest? |
A65292 | What ailes thee, O Sea? |
A65292 | What ailes this man? |
A65292 | What an Hyperbole of love was it to give Christ to us*? |
A65292 | What comfort can an Organ, or Antheme give, if the Gospel be gone? |
A65292 | What greater crime than holinesse, if the Devil may be one of the grand Jury? |
A65292 | What hurt do Leeches to the body, only suck out the bad bloud? |
A65292 | What hurt doth the Fan to the Corn, only separate the Chaffe from it? |
A65292 | What hurt doth the fire to the gold, only purifie it? |

A65292 | What is there in our love that God should come a wooing for it? |
A65292 | What is there in sin that any should love it*? |
A65292 | What is this free and rich grace? |
A65292 | What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me? |
A65292 | What shall we say to them who can be all their lives long without God? |
A65292 | What shall we think of such as have never enough of the world? |
A65292 | What things are they which work for good to the Elect? |
A65292 | What though the Sea roar, though the Earth be unquiet, though the Stars are shaken out of their place? |
A65292 | What upheld Daniel in the Lyons Den? |
A65292 | What? |
A65292 | When he slew them, they sought him, and enquired earnestly after God ▪ 〈 … 〉 all this to? |
A65292 | When you see another infected with the plague, how thankful are you, that God hath preserved you from it? |
A65292 | Whence is it the Saints can see further than the most quick- sighted Politicians? |

A65292 | Why are the Angels so swift and winged in Gods service? |
A65292 | Why should a Christian exentera ● e himself? |
A65292 | Why should ye be stricken any more? |
A65292 | Why so? |
A65292 | Wicked men are not acquainted with God; and how can they love who are not acquainted? |
A65292 | Will God ever bestow Heaven upon them, who so basely undervalue him, preferring glittering dust, before the glorious Deity? |
A65292 | Will God ever lay such a Viper in his bosome, as spits forth the poyson of malice and enmity against him? |
A65292 | Will a father seek the ruine of his childe, the child that came out of his loins, that bears his image? |
A65292 | Will a man love that which s ● eks his death? |
A65292 | Will any one lay out cost upon sackcloth? |
A65292 | Will you reproach Christ, and make him suffer again, by abusing your Heavenly calling*? |
A65292 | Would it not vex one to lay out money upon a piece of ground, and instead of b ● inging forth Corn or Grapes, it should yeild nothing but Nettles? |
A65292 | Would we be parts of Christs Mystical Body, and not like him? |
A65292 | Would we have God unbosom the sweet secre ● s of his love to us? |
A65292 | Ye have taken away my gods, and what have I more? |
A65292 | You love a fair house, a beautiful picture; are not you much better than they? |
A65292 | Yours is a holy calling, and will you be unholy? |

A65292 | are not the paths of vertue pleasant? |
A65292 | are they fled aloft? |
A65292 | are they never weary of sinning, and are we weary of praying? |
A65292 | but he asks only our love; he would only pick this flower; is this an hard request? |

A65292 | discontented at that which shall do us good? |
A65292 | doth any man love to be in debt? |
A65292 | hath he reprieved me so long from Hell, and shall I grieve his Spirit any more? |
A65292 | have not I done all this? |
A65292 | have not we a better Master than they? |
A65292 | he works out sin, and works in grace; is not this good? |

A85987 | Are the black Regiments of sin and Satan cast out with violence, that the Lords own spirit might garrison thee with his gracious forces? |

A85987 | Do we not still need pardon from men, as well as from God? |
A85987 | Do we studiously labour in every occasion, in every company, to do and receive no hurt, when we can not do and receive good, as we would desire? |
A85987 | Do we to that end, prize and improve every Ordinance of his publique and private, with diligent care, and spiritual observance? |
A85987 | Do you bear Christs name only for a shew, and for fashion- sake? |
A85987 | Dost thou Love and fear him, dost thou seek and trust him universally, constantly, peculiarly, eminently above all? |
A85987 | Dost thou as chearfully, studiously obey every Precept, as thou delighest in every Promise of his gracious Covenant? |

A85987 | Hast thou given Christ eminent entertainment in some proportion to his eminent Vocation, as Matthew and Zachaeus did, being called by him? |
A85987 | Hast thou not been jugling and jugled with long enough already, both deceiving and being deceived? |
A85987 | Hast thou not slighted and abused him too long, in rejecting his terms, and capitulating still to have thy own? |

A85987 | Hast thou surrendred all the powers and parts of soul and body, with chearfull submission into his own hands? |
A85987 | Hath Satan so far blinded and hardened thee, that thou canst not deliver thy Soul, by shaking off the lie of thy right hand? |
A85987 | Hath he been busied with his spade and Ax about the breaking up and dressing of thy soul, to kill the weeds, and prepare his ground? |

A85987 | Is it not absolutely necessary to thee? |
A85987 | Is it not baseness of the vilest rank, to be found walking so unworthily of Christs High, Holy and Heavenly Calling? |

A85987 | Shall not Gods Interest and honor prevail efficaciously with us, to walk worthy of his great and glorious Name, which is called upon us? |
A85987 | Shall nothing prevail, art thou grown so dull, so dead and obdurate, like the Smiths Anvil, and his sleepy Dog? |
A85987 | Shall we not willingly measure out to others, as we would desire to be measured to? |
A85987 | Shall your profession serve as a Pandor to your filthy lusts, and as a Patron to your Libertinism? |
A85987 | Should it not be our Delight to resemble him therein, as it s our honour thus to advance his name? |
A85987 | Should it not humble us deeply that we have so long deafned our ears hardened our hearts, and pulled away the shoulder against such a Call? |
A85987 | Should not Christians demonstrate themselves to be true Barnabasse''s Children of consolation? |

A85987 | What pretense shall the ignorant and lazy, the proud and wanton, the covetous and passionate sinner plead in this case? |
A85987 | What shall the Formalist and self- justiciary pretend for excuse? |
A85987 | What will the Notionist and self- perfectionist cloak himself withall? |
A85987 | Who ever thou art that hearkenest to any thing else, rather then to Christ, take notice of thy state in its sinfulness, in its wofulness? |
A85987 | Who shall separate us from the Love of God? |
A85987 | Whom doth he seek and save, but that which was lost in a perishing state? |
A85987 | Why should any be counted our enemy for telling us the Truth, as Paul was among the foolish Galathians? |
A85987 | Will not their conscience convince all such of the reign of sin, by their Love and subjection thereto? |
A85987 | Will you still pretend to be Christs Souldiers, whilst you are marching after his desperate Enemy, under the conduct of sin, Satan and self? |

A85987 | Wilt thou not admire the Treasures of his Patience, Bounty and long- suffering exercised towards thee hitherto? |
A85987 | Wilt thou still be cheated by such a Father, and such children of lies? |
A85987 | Wilt thou still hearken to that pernicious voice, which calls thee away from Christ and his ways? |
A85987 | as Lydea, at least opening thy heart to hearken to his efficacious Call? |
A85987 | who is offended, and I burn not? |
A69449 | ( faith one) I grace? |
A69449 | ( saith he) then I am the most miserable creature under heaven; therefore as they said, Men and brethren, what shall we do? |
A69449 | ( you may say) what? |
A69449 | Alas, we think too often to bring God to our bow, We have hoped thus long, and God hath not answered, and shall we wait still? |
A69449 | All this is but a mans self: Why so? |
A69449 | And doth David, a King, desire no more? |
A69449 | And for those that neglect the Means of their Salvation, how should we pity them? |
A69449 | And is not he the great God of Heaven and Earth, that hath been incensed against me? |
A69449 | And now let me prevail with your hearts, and work your souls to this duty, Love the Lord, all ye his Saints; whom will you love, if you love not him? |
A69449 | And now( me- thinks) your hearts begin to stir, and say, Hath the Lord engaged himself to this? |
A69449 | And thus the soul sinketh in it self, Will the Lord cast me off for ever, and will he shew no favor? |
A69449 | And why not now, Lord? |
A69449 | At this voyce the Sinner begins to see where he is: Is this true? |
A69449 | But some may object, Must the soul, or ought the soul to be thus content to be left in this damnable condition? |
A69449 | But( poor soul) art thou yet shut up in Unbelief? |
A69449 | Can not thy Hearing, and Praying, and Fasting, carry thee to heaven without hazard? |
A69449 | Do you hear? |
A69449 | Exhortations, Instructions, Admonitions and Reproofs that I have often had? |
A69449 | God may do it: And what if God should execute his vengeance upon me? |
A69449 | Hath the Lord offered mercy to me? |
A69449 | Have I gotten the Lord Jesus to be my comfort, my buckler and my shield? |
A69449 | Heaven to Earth, God to man? |
A69449 | Hell is too good, and ten thousand hells too little to torment such a wretch as I am: What, I mercy? |
A69449 | How many heavy journeys hath the Lord Jesus made to me? |
A69449 | How often hath he knock''d at my heart, and said, Come to me, ye rebellious children; turn ye, turn ye, why will ye dye? |
A69449 | I am ashamed to expect it; With what heart( I pray you) can I beg this Mercy, which I have trodden under my feet? |
A69449 | I have abused his Mercy, and can his Mercy pity me? |
A69449 | I have waited one, ten, twenty, thirty, forty years long have I waited on this generation; when will it once be? |
A69449 | I have wronged his Justice, and can his Justice pardon me? |
A69449 | I know such a soul humbled, and I see such a foul comforted, and why not I as well as he? |
A69449 | I pray you in cold blood consider this, and say, Good Lord, what a sinful wretch am I? |
A69449 | I said( saith David) this is my infirmity: the word in the Original is, This is my sickness; as who should say, What, is mercy gone for ever? |
A69449 | I that loved my sins, and continued in them, had it not been just that I should have perished in them? |
A69449 | I that slighted so many mercies, and committed so many follies, shall I be entertained? |
A69449 | Indeed I crave grace, but how do I think to receive any? |
A69449 | Is it because the good Spirit of the Lord is there? |
A69449 | Is it so( may every soul reason with it self) that I will not suffer the word to prevail with me? |
A69449 | Is it so, that the soul of a man is thus pierced to the quick, and run through by the wrath of the Almighty? |
A69449 | Is it so? |
A69449 | Is it thus? |
A69449 | Is not he that great God, whose Justice, and Mercy, and Patience I have abused? |
A69449 | Is there any Soul here that hath been vexed with the Temptations of Satan, oppositions of men, or with his own distempers? |
A69449 | Is there no cause thus to pray? |
A69449 | It is mercy I have despised and trampled under my feet, and I mercy? |
A69449 | It is true( saith the soul) Manasses was pardoned, Paul was converted, Gods Saints have been received to mercy, But can my sins be pardoned? |
A69449 | It was the Apostles question, Wilt thou now restore the Kingdom of Israel? |
A69449 | Labor to keep thy promises ever at hand: what is it to me if I have a thing in the house, if I have it not at my need? |
A69449 | Let every man put his love upon the trial, and examine thus, Whether doest thou welcome Christ and grace, according to the worth of them? |
A69449 | Let us see the Reasons that perswade you to these groundless foolish Hopes? |
A69449 | Look at Sin simply as it is in it self, what is it, but a profest opposing of God himself? |
A69449 | No( would he say) it is my Father I have offended, and will he now receive me? |
A69449 | Now mark what the Prophet saith to such a perplexed soul, Why sayest thou thy way is hid from the Lord? |
A69449 | O when will it once be? |
A69449 | O why not I( Lord?) |
A69449 | Observe the root and rise from whence thy love came, canst thou say, I love the Lord, because he hath loved me? |
A69449 | Oh, with what a face can I appear before him, and with what heart can I look for any mercy from him? |
A69449 | Or secondly, hast thou gotten faith? |
A69449 | Say you so? |
A69449 | Shall the Lord and his Messengers thus woo and intreat? |
A69449 | So the Word saith, He appointeth them that mourn in Sion, to give unto them beauty for ashes: will you have a Legacy of Joy, Mercy and Pity? |
A69449 | Some may say, this is all the difficult, How may I know whether my love be a true love, or a false love? |
A69449 | The Lord he complains, Why will ye dye? |
A69449 | The Lord now by us offers love to all you that are weary and have need, What answer shall I return to him in the evening? |
A69449 | The Lord thus travels in patience, looking when we will receive mercy, will never our proud hearts be humbled? |
A69449 | The Minister replyes again, The truth is, you have done thus, but would you do so now? |
A69449 | The Minister replyes, Truth it is, you have done thus, but would you do so still? |
A69449 | This is great encouragement to a poor sinner, he begins now to wonder, and say, Lord, shall all my sins be pardoned? |
A69449 | We demand, Is this your case? |
A69449 | We have been thus and thus, but if we rest here, it will be our ruine for ever, O what shall we do? |
A69449 | What can I say? |
A69449 | What if God should take away my life this night? |
A69449 | What if God will not pacifie my Conscience, doth the Lord do me any wrong? |
A69449 | What if a man had all the wealth and policy in the world, and wanted this? |
A69449 | What if there do? |
A69449 | What is that to me( saith the soul) to be rich and a reprobate? |
A69449 | What needs more? |
A69449 | What remains then? |
A69449 | What then, saith the Devil? |
A69449 | What then, saith the Devil? |
A69449 | What will the world say? |
A69449 | What, I Mercy? |
A69449 | What, I mercy? |
A69449 | What, such a wretch as I am? |
A69449 | What? |
A69449 | When, Lord? |
A69449 | Where are the tears that we make for the slain of our people? |
A69449 | Whether God work it in all alike? |
A69449 | Whether it be a work of saving grace? |
A69449 | Why do we value a Mine, but because of the gold in it? |
A69449 | Why not I, Lord? |
A69449 | Will this proud heart never be humbled? |
A69449 | Will you question his Commission? |
A69449 | Wouldst thou have life eternal? |
A69449 | Wouldst thou have riches? |
A69449 | Wouldst thou have strength? |
A69449 | Wouldst thou have wisdom? |
A69449 | Wouldst thou know whether thou art carnal or spiritual? |
A69449 | You will say, What are the means to obtain these graces from Christ? |
A69449 | You will say, if faith bring such ease, how may a man that hath faith, improve it to have such comfort by it? |
A69449 | a Christian and a Lyar? |
A69449 | a Christian and a Swearer? |
A69449 | and I comfort? |
A69449 | and a Son Lord? |
A69449 | and a pardon Lord? |
A69449 | and doth he require nothing of me but to love him again? |
A69449 | and have you thus longed for the riches of his Mercy in Christ? |
A69449 | and love Lord? |
A69449 | and so commit the sin against the holy Ghost? |
A69449 | and what is he, that I can not love him? |
A69449 | and why not my eorruptions subdued? |
A69449 | and will any yet stand out against God, and say, I will none of Christ, I will try it out to the last? |
A69449 | and would he now arm and fence himself, that nothing should disquiet him, or trouble him, but in all, to be above all, and to rejoyce in all? |
A69449 | are you thus humbled? |
A69449 | as I live, saith the Lord, I desire not the death of a sinner: Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye dye, ye sinful Sons of men? |
A69449 | but will the Lord not onely spare his enemy, but give his Son for him? |
A69449 | can my soul be quickned? |
A69449 | canst thou say, The Lord hath let in a glimpse of his favor? |
A69449 | do then as the Prisoners in New- gate, what lamentable cryes do they utter to every Passenger by? |
A69449 | honored and damned? |
A69449 | if a man should say, Go to your Father, he will give you a portion again; would he( think you) believe this? |
A69449 | in anguish of heart, who relieved you? |
A69449 | in wants, who supplied you? |
A69449 | is any thing too hard for the Lord? |
A69449 | is it good now to be drunk, or to blaspheme, or to rail on Gods Saints, or contemn Gods Ordinances? |
A69449 | is it thus and thus? |
A69449 | it is Mercy I have neglected, it is Salvation I have contemned, how then should I be saved? |
A69449 | may I be so bold to press in for favor at the hands of the Lord? |
A69449 | must God wait, or man wait? |
A69449 | or a Cabinet, but because of the Pearl in it? |
A69449 | or rather would you not now part with all these, and take mercy in stead of them? |
A69449 | shall I resist the good spirit of the Lord? |
A69449 | shall I talk of Mercy? |
A69449 | shall Majesty stoop to misery? |
A69449 | shall all my oathes and abominations be forgiven? |
A69449 | shall the King of Glory stand? |
A69449 | that a great Prince should send to a poor Peasant, that Majesty should stoop to means? |
A69449 | the Lord saith, Why sayest thou? |
A69449 | then let this teach all how to carry themselves towards such as God hath thus dealt withal: Are they pierced men? |
A69449 | then, even then this Christ have I slighted, and made nothing of his Blood; and can this blood of Christ do me now any service? |
A69449 | thou sayest, thou wouldst have a pardon, but wouldst thou not have riches? |
A69449 | what benefit in all the means of grace? |
A69449 | what man that hath writ more on this subject, then T. H? |
A69449 | what profits it a man to read? |
A69449 | what shall I say unto thee? |
A69449 | when will it once be? |
A69449 | when will it once be? |
A69449 | when will that day be, that I shall ever be with Christ, and be full of his fulness for ever? |
A69449 | who would not have the Lord Christ, by the glory of his Grace, to honor and refresh him? |
A69449 | why may not I be plagued? |
A69449 | why not my sins pardoned? |
A69449 | will Christ Jesus accept of me? |
A69449 | will Exhortations never prevail with me? |
A69449 | will Terrors and Reproofs never break my heart into pieces? |
A69449 | will never our prophane hearts be sanctified? |
A69449 | will never our stubborn hearts be softned? |
A69449 | will the Lord pardon me? |
A69449 | would you still blaspheme, and curse, and be drunk, and riotous? |
A69449 | wouldst thou have beauty? |
A69449 | you may lay them out here with good advantage: what would you love? |
A69449 | you say, You hope to be saved, and you hope to go to heaven, and you hope to see Gods face with comfort; and have you no grounds? |
A69449 | — Who would not have the Lord Jesus to dwell with him? |
A67778 | ( I mean) thy soul; free? |
A67778 | 1. and that God esteems of Faith above all other graces, deeds, or acts of thine? |
A67778 | 19. that hee was able to say, Though I should walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evill: Why? |
A67778 | 21. and as heartily and unfaignedly desire that thou maist never commit it, as that God should never impute it? |
A67778 | 26. but even) the least parcell of Gods Word into thy mouth? |
A67778 | 5. yet hee neglects coming for many days, lets him die, bee put in the grave untill hee stank; but what of all this? |
A67778 | Admit thou art a great sinner, what then? |
A67778 | Again, shall it ever enter into our hearts, to think that God gives us rules to keep, and yet break them himsef? |
A67778 | Alas, what can they do? |
A67778 | And Pope Adrian, who when hee was to dye; brake out into this expression: Oh my soul, whither art thou going? |
A67778 | And against whom hast thou exalted thy self? |
A67778 | And dost thou make thy slight sufferings an argument of his displeasure? |
A67778 | And doth her adversary vex her sore, year by year; and grievously upbraid her for it, so that she is troubled in her minde? |
A67778 | And have not some been detained( by a violent storme) from coming home, whereby they have been exempt from seeling the down- fall of their house? |
A67778 | And herein wee ● … re no worse, than C ● … st; Did not his Spirit pass from the Cross, into Paradice? |
A67778 | And how profitable is that affliction, which carrieth me to Heaven? |
A67778 | And in reason; did hee come to call sinners to repentance, and shall he not shew mercy to the penitent? |
A67778 | And indeed, how many have we known the better for their sin? |
A67778 | And lastly, shall our momentany sufferings be rewarded with everlasting glory? |
A67778 | And may not this comfort thee? |
A67778 | And see what cause he had so to say; what were these Arrows? |
A67778 | And the Apostles esteemed it a grace, to be disgraced for him: and shall we grumble, or think much at it? |
A67778 | And what though thou canst not powr out thy soul in a flood of words? |
A67778 | And when he hath leave from God, what can hee do? |
A67778 | And wherein does thy case differ? |
A67778 | And whether had you rather rejoice for one ● … it, or alwaies? |
A67778 | And why all this? |
A67778 | And why doth the goodness of our God pick out the most needfull times for our relief and comfort? |
A67778 | And yet thou exceptest thy self, hee excludes none; and dost thou exclude one, and that one thy self? |
A67778 | Are not your failings, your grief? |
A67778 | Are these stripes the chiefest tokens and pledges of God''s love and adoption? |
A67778 | Are thy sins great? |
A67778 | Are we bound to perform perfect obedience to the Law? |
A67778 | As what saith Luther of the whole Turkish Empire? |
A67778 | Ask not( saith Salvianus) why one is greater, another less; one wretched, another happy? |
A67778 | Besides, without some kinde of suffering, how shall your sincerity be approved? |
A67778 | But all the evill thou doest to the godly, is with thy tongue? |
A67778 | But how in this case? |
A67778 | But may some say, Can any good come out of such a Nazarite? |
A67778 | But tell me, hath not this roaring Lion prevailed against thy best part? |
A67778 | But to leave examples; and come to reason: Is it not an evident sign, that if the world hates thee, thou art none of the World? |
A67778 | But what hath been the answer of GOD alwaies to his children, in such their extasies, but this? |
A67778 | But what''s the reason? |
A67778 | But when will there bee an end of this long disease? |
A67778 | But who can measure thy goodnesse, who givest all, and forgivest all? |
A67778 | But why dost thou not altogether believe, that it is a blessed and happie thing thus to suffer? |
A67778 | Can not our enemies diminish one hair of our heads, without God''s special leave and appointment? |
A67778 | Did God and Belial joyn in fu filling the same act? |
A67778 | Did ever any sinner implore the forgiveness of his sins, which did not receiv full remission and pardon? |
A67778 | Did hee not without the Sun at the Creation, cause light to shine forth; and without rain, at the same time, make the earth fruitfull? |
A67778 | Did it ever repent Jacob, when hee came to inherit his Fathers blessing, that hee had indured a long exile, and tedious bondage? |
A67778 | Did not hee first descend into Hel, and then had his ascension? |
A67778 | Did not the sick ever receive their health? |
A67778 | Dost thou determine to continue in the practice of any one sin? |
A67778 | Dost thou not love rather to bee, than seem or bee thought good; and seek more the power of godliness, than the shew of it? |
A67778 | Doth Satan merit thanks? |
A67778 | Doth he make bloody wayls on the backs of his Children? |
A67778 | Doth not God onely gain glory by our sufferings? |
A67778 | Doth the rain and waters, or any other creature displease you? |
A67778 | For consider, doth the Lord say hee will extend his mercie unto all that come unto him? |
A67778 | For, what can be spoken more expresse, direct, and significant? |
A67778 | God used the malice of Pharaoh and Shimei unto good; what then? |
A67778 | Hast thou but thoughts and desires, and canst thou onely express them with sighs and groans? |
A67778 | Hast thou kept thy head whole? |
A67778 | Hath he promised that we shall not be tempted above our strength? |
A67778 | Hath this Lion yielded thee any Honey of Instruction, or Reformation? |
A67778 | Hath thy sin died with thy fame, or with thy health, or with thy peace, or with thy outward estate? |
A67778 | Heaven it self shall power down the food of Angels; have they no meat to their bread? |
A67778 | Hee sends his Serjeant 〈 ◊ 〉 arrest thee for thy debt; commands thee and all thou hast to bee 〈 ◊ 〉 But why? |
A67778 | Hee would have all men saved, and thou comest in with thy exceptive, All but mee; Why thee? |
A67778 | How can we but say, Let the World frown, and all things in it run cross to the grain of our mindes? |
A67778 | How is that? |
A67778 | How many? |
A67778 | How opportunely doth God provide succours to our distresses? |
A67778 | How rashly then hast thou judged of thy Makers dealing with thee? |
A67778 | If it bee asked why God reckons so highly of a sew sighs and groans? |
A67778 | If wee bee sick, and the Physician promises to visit us to morrow with his best relief; with what a tedious longing do wee expect his presence? |
A67778 | If you endure chastening, God offereth himself unto you, as unto sons: for what son is it whom the Father chastenith not? |
A67778 | Indeed, it was Pilates brag to Christ, knowest thou not that I have power to crucifie thee? |
A67778 | Is God more specially present with us in afflictions? |
A67778 | Lastly, look upon Lazarus, though Christs bosome friend? |
A67778 | Let him draw near, for I chiefly direct my speech unto him: Are afflictions and persecutions so necessary and profitable, as hath been shewed? |
A67778 | Neither wants hee ca ● … e; hee that numbers our very hairs, what account doth hee make of our souls? |
A67778 | Never were the Jews more to bee pitied, than when their Prophet delivered these words from the Lord, why should yee bee stricken any more? |
A67778 | Nor love, for if hee hath bought us with his blood, and given us himself, will hee deny us any thing that is good for us? |
A67778 | Now Lord it being thus with us, how can we expect that thou shouldest hear our praiers,& grant our requests? |
A67778 | Now if Saul or Doeg be instead of a Pestilence or Feaver; who can cavil? |
A67778 | Now if that bosom wherein we all look to rest, was assaulted with so many sore trials, and so diverse difficulties, is it likely we should escape? |
A67778 | Now instead of being overcome doest thou overcome? |
A67778 | Now the Tenant is more noble then the House; therefore why are we not more joyed in this, then dejected in the other? |
A67778 | Now what Son of Israel can hope for any good daies, when he heats his Fathers were so evill? |
A67778 | Now when so much was uttered, even by a none- such for his patience; what may we think he did feel, and indure? |
A67778 | Now why doth God by his promise tye himself to bee present with us; more especially in affliction? |
A67778 | O fool? |
A67778 | Oh, it is a good change, to have the fire of affliction for the fire of Hell: Who would not rather smart for a while, then for ever? |
A67778 | Or Joseph, when hee was once made Ruler in Egypt, that he had formerly been sold thither and there imprisoned? |
A67778 | Or which of Gods servants did ever repent that they had passed the apprentiship of their service here, and were now gon to be made free in glory? |
A67778 | Or wil hee provide for his Men and Maids, and let his own children starve? |
A67778 | Or, who would nor cast his burthen upon him, that doth desire to give ease? |
A67778 | Scriptures spoken by Christ, and his Apostles? |
A67778 | Shall wee slight all his blessings, because in one thing hee crosseth us, whereas his least mercy is beyond our best merit? |
A67778 | Suppose thy sufferings bee great, what then? |
A67778 | That thou hast great cause to rejoice and be glad that thou art counted worthi to suffer shame for Christs name? |
A67778 | The Lord hath forsaken us; thou hast cast off, and abhorred us: why hast thou forsaken mee& c.? |
A67778 | The Portugals w ● … ll rejoyce in soul weather why? |
A67778 | The lame, their limbes? |
A67778 | The meditation whereof may bee of some use to thee: Thales beeing asked how adversity might best bee born? |
A67778 | Therefore Bazil, when hee was offered money and preferments to tempt him, answered: Can you give me money that can last for ever? |
A67778 | Thou maist think so, but God will not do so; but in the mean time, how can this bee well taken? |
A67778 | Thou wouldest go the naturall Way to work, What shall I do to inherit eternall life? |
A67778 | Thy Praier is heard: When did he make this Praier? |
A67778 | To instance in some examples; Satan did nought touching Job, but what the Lord upon his request gave him leave to do; what then? |
A67778 | True, they appear not ordinarily, what then? |
A67778 | Was Lazarus for a time extream miserable? |
A67778 | Were none of his children ever exempted from the like? |
A67778 | What Fortifications or Bulwarks so strong and safe agaiest the affronts of Satan, and the World? |
A67778 | What demonstrations can be given more sollid? |
A67778 | What end is that? |
A67778 | What if the Lord for a time forbear coming, as Samuel did to Saul; that hee may try what is in thee? |
A67778 | What saith David? |
A67778 | What saith God to his people in their misery? |
A67778 | What shall I say? |
A67778 | What then? |
A67778 | What then? |
A67778 | What then? |
A67778 | What''s the reason? |
A67778 | When did God answer the hopes of Sarah, Rebeccah, Rachel, the wife of Manoah, and Elisabeth, touching their long and much desired issues? |
A67778 | When did Jacob see a Vision of Angels? |
A67778 | When did Moses find succour, but when his Mother could no longer hide him, and hee was put into the River among the Bull- rushes? |
A67778 | When did our Saviour heal the woman of her bloody issue? |
A67778 | When did we talk without vanity? |
A67778 | When had the Children of Israel the greatest victories, but when they feared most to bee overcome? |
A67778 | When was Hagar comforted of the Angell, but when her child was neer fanished, and shee had east it under a Tree for dead? |
A67778 | When was the Sareptan relieved? |
A67778 | Wherefore hast thou but a touch of sorrow for sin, a spark of hope, a grain of faith in thy heart? |
A67778 | Wherefore, as Jehoram said to Jebu, when hee marched furiously; Comest thou peaceably? |
A67778 | Who but Andronic ● … s, Emperour of the East for many years? |
A67778 | Who ever asked any thing of him which was profitable for him to receive, and did not obtain his suit? |
A67778 | Who is hee that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lordcommandeth it not? |
A67778 | Who is so melancholly, as the rich worldling? |
A67778 | Whom are you angry withal? |
A67778 | Whom hast thou blasphemed? |
A67778 | Why doth a Physician give more Wormwood, or Hellebore to this sick party, then to that? |
A67778 | Why should we not hate the Way to Hell, as much as Hell it self? |
A67778 | Why were they so long kept from it? |
A67778 | Will any make choyce of a weak Champion? |
A67778 | Will you take Saint Panls word for it, or rather Gods own word, who is Truth it self, and can not lie? |
A67778 | Worse than Josephs? |
A67778 | Yea, even when they were wandering in a forlorn wilderness, how did God as it were attend upon them in their distress, to supply their wants? |
A67778 | Yea, shall our glory be increased, as our sufferings have been more? |
A67778 | Yea, the onely Son of God came to this, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee? |
A67778 | Yet consider, did God forsake either of them? |
A67778 | and all Gods former favours? |
A67778 | and dost thou say, nay, but hee will not extend his mercy unto mee, hee will have mee to perish, because I am a grievous sinner? |
A67778 | and glory that may eternally flourish? |
A67778 | and shall bastards escape? |
A67778 | and what thou wilt do, or suffer for him, that hath done and suffered so much for thee? |
A67778 | and who sings so merry a note, as hee that can not change a groat? |
A67778 | and why the prayers of the faithfull are so powerfull? |
A67778 | and yet they were delivered; Or is thy case worse than that of Jonas in the Sea, yea, in the Whales belly? |
A67778 | and why should we not make every cogitation, speech, and action of ours, as so many steps to Heaven? |
A67778 | are they not besides your will? |
A67778 | are they not contrary to the current of your desires, and the main bent of your resolutions, and indeavours? |
A67778 | are thy sins more and greater? |
A67778 | as what did our Saviour answer, when the people asked him, What shall wee do that wee might work the works of God? |
A67778 | as why did God set Noah about building the Ark an hundred and twenty years, when a small time might have finished it? |
A67778 | but do they also bring us to repentance, and amendment of l ● … fe? |
A67778 | doth hee deal thus with his Sons; what will hee do with his Slaves? |
A67778 | doth hee invite every one? |
A67778 | doth hee say I would have all men saved, and none to perish? |
A67778 | hee performed it for us: were wee for disobedience subject to the sentence of condemnation, the curse of the Law, and death of body and soul? |
A67778 | hee was condemned for us, and bore the curse of the law; hee died in our stead an ignominious death; did wee deserve the anger of God? |
A67778 | if hee do not answer us in every thing; shall wee take pleasure in nothing? |
A67778 | or doth Satan onely tell thee so? |
A67778 | or how great soever they bee? |
A67778 | or how long soever they continue? |
A67778 | shall to- days Ague, make us forget yesterdays health? |
A67778 | than Mary Magdulen, a common strumpet; possest of many Devills? |
A67778 | than Paul, a bloody pers ● … cutor of Christ and his Church? |
A67778 | than the Theef upon the Cross, who had spent his whole life to the last hour in abominable wickedness? |
A67778 | the blind their sight? |
A67778 | this heavie yoake of bondage? |
A67778 | this tedious affliction? |
A67778 | we hear without wearysomness? |
A67778 | when all the evill in a City, coms from the providence of a good God, which can neither bee impotent, nor unme cifull? |
A67778 | when did in himself an indisposition of mind to all good, and an inclination to all evill? |
A67778 | when did we give without hypocrisie? |
A67778 | when did we reprove without anger, or envy? |
A67778 | when did wee bargain without deceit? |
A67778 | when did wee pray without tediousness? |
A67778 | when hee was thrown into a Pit, and left hopeless; or when sold to the Ishmaelitish Merchants, and then cast into prison? |
A67778 | why doth he permit so many, and such notorious crimes? |
A67778 | why doth he punish the innocent, and acquit the peccant? |
A67778 | why is he so severe towards his own; so gentle to others? |
A67778 | why then should you give your self over, where your Physitian doth not? |
A67778 | yea, how can wee look for other at thine hands, then great and grievous, yea, then double damnation? |
A02741 | & c. Wilt you neyther goe to the market thy selfe, nor suffer others? |
A02741 | & c. what a rich man was hee in his owne conceit? |
A02741 | ( i. e.) what an absurd thing is it, for you to bee skilfull in others affaires, and neglect your owne? |
A02741 | ( where shall wee thinke to mend our selves?) |
A02741 | 1. see what direction he giveth to that purpose; Comfort ye my people, Comfort ye Jerusalem; How? |
A02741 | 10? |
A02741 | 11. willing to spend so much time in hearing Paul preach in publike? |
A02741 | 18, 19. Who is a God like unto thee? |
A02741 | 19, 20. that casteth firebrands, arrowes, and death, and saith, Am I not in sport? |
A02741 | 20. he enquireth immediately, Whose Image, or superscription hath it? |
A02741 | 26. Who is sufficient for these things? |
A02741 | 3, 4. Who shall ascend into the Hill of the Lord? |
A02741 | 3. Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voyce, to let Israel goe? |
A02741 | 3. and what is the chaffe to the wheat? |
A02741 | 32? |
A02741 | 3? |
A02741 | 4. later end: Know ye not, that the friendship of the world, is enmitie against God? |
A02741 | 44. and the most damnable liar, that ever was, yea, the very father thereof; What baser Master then the Devill? |
A02741 | 5. Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice, to let Israel goe? |
A02741 | 5. Who shall ascend into the Hill of the Lord, and who shall dwell in his holy place? |
A02741 | 5. when they asked, What is thy beloved more than another beloved? |
A02741 | 6? |
A02741 | 6? |
A02741 | 8, 9. whether he went forward, or backward, on the right hand, or on the left, yet he could not finde God; What was his comfort? |
A02741 | All for the Summer, nothing for the Winter? |
A02741 | All for the body, nothing for the soule? |
A02741 | All glorious, both within, and without? |
A02741 | All gracious, in heart, and life? |
A02741 | All this is very hard, What, will you pay me, if I will take your owne word to this purpose? |
A02741 | And how are they nourished, if not by these meanes? |
A02741 | And how can we choose but remember it, when we see and heare the like, nay the same vow and promise made to God, in the behalfe of another? |
A02741 | And how did they taste, Ieremiah? |
A02741 | And how often doth hee aske them? |
A02741 | And indeed, what greater comfort, then for a condemned man to heare of a pardon? |
A02741 | And is it not of singular use, to bee put in minde of our duty? |
A02741 | And who are these, that have cause to suspect themselves to be but hypocrites? |
A02741 | And why may not we be assured of our election, upon the like ground, as well as they? |
A02741 | And why so? |
A02741 | And why so? |
A02741 | Are we not all sinners? |
A02741 | Art thou an old man? |
A02741 | Art thou not bound to love thy neighbour as thy selfe? |
A02741 | Art thou still desirous of more? |
A02741 | Art thou young? |
A02741 | As new borne babes desire the sincere milke of the Word, that yee may grow thereby; How doe wee stand affected to Gods Ordinances? |
A02741 | Be wise now therefore, O ye Kings, be instructed, ye Iudges of the earth; Well, wherein should they chiefely shew their wisdome? |
A02741 | Behold, I will melt them, and try them, for how shall I doe for the daughter of my people? |
A02741 | Behold, the Lords hand is not shortned, that he can not save; neither is his eare heavie, that he can not heare, where is the fault then? |
A02741 | Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited, and redeemed his people; But to what end hath he done this? |
A02741 | But God said unto him, Thou foole, this night shall thy soule be required of thee, and then what shall become of the goods which thou hast provided? |
A02741 | But a faithfull man ▪ who can finde? |
A02741 | But how came the Apostle by this assurance? |
A02741 | But how came this to passe? |
A02741 | But how did that appeare? |
A02741 | But how shall we suppresse and mortifie this unruely companion? |
A02741 | But how should we so mortifie our lusts, that we may spend little or no time time in vicious courses, and so consequently more time in Gods service? |
A02741 | But how? |
A02741 | But one thing David? |
A02741 | But one thing David? |
A02741 | But the Publican, how poore was he in his owne opinion? |
A02741 | But the wicked shall perish, why so? |
A02741 | But what are the speciall things, whereof wee must meditate, if wee desire to further our growth in grace? |
A02741 | But what course must wee take to this end? |
A02741 | But what followeth? |
A02741 | But what is required, that wee may bee fit to draw nigh to God? |
A02741 | But what is the opinion of our Saviour as touching both these? |
A02741 | But what need they, when he is ready to doe it for them? |
A02741 | By what meanes were they begotten in thee? |
A02741 | Can the Aethiopian change his skinne, or the Leopard his spots? |
A02741 | Can the Aethiopian change his skinne, or the Leopard his spots? |
A02741 | Come Sir, I like your commoditie, What is your price? |
A02741 | Come not nigh the doore of her house; Why so? |
A02741 | Consider now; Is time spent in Gods service absolutely the best spent time? |
A02741 | Consider thy faith then, Art thou sure it is precious? |
A02741 | Continuance in sinne, breedeth custome in sinne; and how hard is it for men to overcome evill customes? |
A02741 | David, for sinceritie? |
A02741 | Did at any whit excuse, or extenuate the sinne of Eli''s sonnes, that they were young men? |
A02741 | Didst thou get them, by prayer, and attending at the postes of Wisedomes gates? |
A02741 | Doe wee desire in all things to live honestly? |
A02741 | Doe wee endeavour to walke in all the Ordinances, and Commandements of God blamelesse? |
A02741 | Doe ye thus requite the Lord, O ye ● oolish people and unwise? |
A02741 | Doest thou covet earnestly the best things? |
A02741 | Doest thou daily labour to grow in grace? |
A02741 | Doest thou delight in those things that are excellent? |
A02741 | Doest thou thinke that thou art uncapable of grace, because thou art unworthy of it? |
A02741 | Doest thou thirst after the salvation of thy wife, or children, or servants? |
A02741 | Doth our grace shew it selfe in every part? |
A02741 | Examine your selves, whither yee bee in the faith, or no; prove your owne selves; know you not your owne selves? |
A02741 | Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
A02741 | For first, Is true saving grace fitly resembled unto gold? |
A02741 | For lo thine enemies, O Lord, lo thine enemies shall perish; and who are they? |
A02741 | For what Nation is there so great, that hath Statutes and Judgements so righteous, as all this Law which I have set before you this day? |
A02741 | For what is a man profited, if hee shall gaine the whole world, and loose his owne soule? |
A02741 | For, What is a man profited, if he shall gaine the whole world, and loose his owne soule? |
A02741 | Give me not povertie, nor riches,& c. Why not riches? |
A02741 | Give unto the Lord glory and strength; give unto the Lord the glory due unto his Name: But how? |
A02741 | God that spared not his owne Sonne, but delivered him to the death for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things? |
A02741 | Gods grace is free, hee looketh not at any ● hing in us in the bestowing of it: What? |
A02741 | Good Master, what good thing shall I doe, that I may have eternall life? |
A02741 | Hath God given his Sonne to enrich thee, and furnished thee with the graces of his Spirit, to make thee truely and spiritually rich and wealthy? |
A02741 | Hath he not ● ade thee, and established thee? |
A02741 | Hath not God chosen the poore of the world, rich in faith, and heires of the kingdome, which God hath promised to them that love him? |
A02741 | Hath not God chosen the poore of the world, rich in faith? |
A02741 | Have not I commanded thee? |
A02741 | Have not I commanded thee? |
A02741 | Have you any pawne, or money worth? |
A02741 | How can a man, that is of a good constitution, feed on dainties, and wholesome food, and not grow strong, and well liking by that meanes? |
A02741 | How can any of us spend our time better, then in such holy and excellent performances? |
A02741 | How can we choose but chearefully and constantly ● oe service to our Maker? |
A02741 | How can we choose but love the Word, if we consider this? |
A02741 | How can we spend our time better? |
A02741 | How can you spend the flower of your youth better, than in the service of your Maker? |
A02741 | How cheape doth he sell, to such as are truely humbled? |
A02741 | How commeth this to passe? |
A02741 | How could I finde in my heart to doe such things? |
A02741 | How could they finde in their hearts to slight or reject such a loving invitation? |
A02741 | How could we finde in our hearts to live in sinne, and spend our time this way, if we consider this? |
A02741 | How did we come by our graces? |
A02741 | How farre are these from the disposition of faithfull Moses? |
A02741 | How farre doe wee come behinde Iob, for his patience? |
A02741 | How farre short are wee of Jacob, for a gift in prayer, and a spirit of supplication? |
A02741 | How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdome of heaven? |
A02741 | How have I mis- spent my precious time, and neglected the service of God, in my youth? |
A02741 | How is it that you understand not? |
A02741 | How long wilt thou sleepe, ô sluggard? |
A02741 | How many Lambe- skinnes come to the Market, as well as the skinnes of elder sheepe? |
A02741 | How many dye young, and drop away, even in the middest( as they thought) of their best strength? |
A02741 | How many hired servants in my fathers house, have bread enough, and to spare, and I perish with hunger? |
A02741 | How many precious houres doe men usually spend in taking thought, saying, What shall we eat? |
A02741 | How much more, if we come to the house and Ordinances of God, and bring others with us? |
A02741 | How much more, when he saith unto thee: Wash, and be cleane? |
A02741 | How much, David? |
A02741 | How often have we publikely and solemnly dedicated our selves wholly to Gods service? |
A02741 | How ordinary a thing is it for men to mispend their best strength, and flower of their youth, and reserve the decrepit old age for God? |
A02741 | How sweet are thy words unto my taste? |
A02741 | How then shall you under stand all Parables? |
A02741 | How tractable was Joash in his youth? |
A02741 | How was he crucified among them, but only in the Word and Sacraments? |
A02741 | How? |
A02741 | How? |
A02741 | I am afflicted very much: How much David? |
A02741 | I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ, saith the Apostle, Why so? |
A02741 | I cryed unto the Lord, and said, thou art my refuge, and my portion, in the land of the living? |
A02741 | I had spent my time in Gods service, had it not beene for thee? |
A02741 | I have observed these things from my youth, what lacke I yet? |
A02741 | I hearkened, and heard, but they spake not aright, no man repented himselfe of his owne wickednesse, saying, What have I done? |
A02741 | I will melt them, and try them, for what should I doe for the daughter of my people? |
A02741 | IS it so, That time spent in Gods service, is absolutely the best spent time? |
A02741 | Iehu shall smite Ahab and Iezabel, but to what end? |
A02741 | Iehu''s end was to get the kingdome, but what was the Lords end? |
A02741 | If a Master be able, yet what are his servants better for him in his absence? |
A02741 | Is Ephraim my deare childe? |
A02741 | Is any thing too hard for the Lord? |
A02741 | Is it a small thing for you to wearie men, but yee will weary my God also? |
A02741 | Is it not enough for me to be religious, and serve God daily, and truly my selfe, unlesse I be forward to exhorte others? |
A02741 | Is not he thy fa ● her, that hath bought thee? |
A02741 | Is not my Word like as a fire, saith the Lord? |
A02741 | Is there safety in the service of thy God? |
A02741 | Is this a fit time to sleepe, when we are all ready to perish, and be ready even every moment to bee swallowed up of the waves? |
A02741 | It is the voyce of a Cain, Am I my Brothers keeper? |
A02741 | It may be another kingdome, or such another crown, as that which was taken from the King of Rabbah? |
A02741 | Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? |
A02741 | Lest there be any fornicator, or prophane person, as Esau, who for one morsell of meate, sold his birth- right: Why so? |
A02741 | Let no man say, What need I trouble my selfe with others? |
A02741 | Let no man say, What neede we trouble our selves with others? |
A02741 | Let us consider one another, to provoke unto love, and unto good workes,& c. Yea, but what good worke are we principally to bring others unto? |
A02741 | Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good workes;( spend much time in Gods service, and become patternes for others) why so? |
A02741 | Lord, doest th ● u not care, that my sister hath left mee to serve alone? |
A02741 | Lying lippes are an abomination unto the Lord? |
A02741 | Marke his couragious answere, a golden resolution: What doe yee weeping, and breaking my heart? |
A02741 | Men in a desperate condition to heare of a Saviour? |
A02741 | More precious then gold? |
A02741 | My Doctrine is not mine, but his that sent mee: yea, but how should a man know that? |
A02741 | Nay, what shall we thinke of such, as spend that very time in the devils service, that is appointed for Gods service? |
A02741 | Not for an houre? |
A02741 | Not in ryotting, or gluttony, and drunkennesse, and what followeth? |
A02741 | Not sleepe at all? |
A02741 | Now how can he be poore that hath such a portion? |
A02741 | Now if any shall aske further, who is the chiefe- chapman, of whom we must buy this precious commoditie? |
A02741 | Now if you aske me, From what wee must redeeme the time? |
A02741 | Now is it not a great shame for us that are Christians, if it shall appeare, that a man shall love a faire Virgin, better than we love God? |
A02741 | Now marke it, I pray you, are the sinnes of youth thus bitter, to such as David, and Iob, such godly persons? |
A02741 | Now see the issue; What a gracious answer? |
A02741 | Now what greater comfort? |
A02741 | Now what is the fruit of all this? |
A02741 | Now what was his comfort in these cases? |
A02741 | Now( more particularly) if ye aske me, what disposition or frame of heart is it, that we must labour for, if we would bee constant in Gods service? |
A02741 | O Daniel, servant of the living God, Is thy God( whom thou servest continually) able to deliver thee from the Lions? |
A02741 | O how justly may God reject us in that case? |
A02741 | O no, What? |
A02741 | O wretched man that I am, Who shall deliver me from this body of dea ● ●? |
A02741 | Of such a golden temper was Paul: How couragious, and undaunted in tribulation? |
A02741 | Of the right stampe? |
A02741 | Offer it now to thy Prince, or thy Governour,( sayth the Lord) would he accept it at thy hands? |
A02741 | Oh Lord? |
A02741 | Oh how this may comfort us, in regard of outward poverty? |
A02741 | Oh how we should value the Lords goodnesse herein to us, if this were rightly and throughly considered? |
A02741 | Oh that I could even detest my selfe for this; Who, but a very beast, or a foole, would have beene so often, and so grossely overtaken? |
A02741 | Oh then how strongly doth this binde us, to be constant in Gods service, that we should have a care never to depart from him? |
A02741 | Oh thou full of all subtiltie, and mischiefe, thou childe of the Devill, doest thou seeke to pervert the straight wayes of the Lord? |
A02741 | Oh what an happie thing, for a man to be assured in his soule, that his prayers are heard, and finde acceptance with the Lord? |
A02741 | Oh who would not be constant and abundant in the service of such a Master? |
A02741 | Oh who would not be diligent in the service of such a bountifull Master? |
A02741 | Oh wretched man that I am, who shal ● deliver me from this bodie of death? |
A02741 | One thing have I desired of the Lord, and that I will require, and seeke after,( but one thing David? |
A02741 | Or how can I doe this great wickednesse, and sinne against God? |
A02741 | Or how shall I doe in a deare yeare,& c? |
A02741 | Or that a bit of bread, and a small sup of wine, should be of such admirable efficacy, as to make us partakers of Christ, with all his merits? |
A02741 | Or what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? |
A02741 | Or what shall we drinke? |
A02741 | Or wherewithall shall we be cloathed? |
A02741 | Perceive you not, or doe you not understand this Parable? |
A02741 | Put him to death? |
A02741 | Salvation is farre from the wicked: Why so? |
A02741 | Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
A02741 | Secondly, Is true saving grace so fitly resembled unto gold? |
A02741 | Secondly, Is true saving grace, like gold tryed in the fire? |
A02741 | See the connection of these two: If ye aske, Why he spendeth so much time in Gods service, even day and night? |
A02741 | See the fruit of that great feast made by Ahashuerus, that lasted so long; What was the event of it, but a woefull breach betweene him and his wife? |
A02741 | Serve the Lord with feare, and rejoyce with trembling; Why so? |
A02741 | Sir, if this be your price, here is your money: or at least, the most of it; what must I pay more? |
A02741 | So for Iosiah, What glorious things are spoken of him to this day, even in this respect? |
A02741 | So that if you aske David, why his soule longed so sore for Gods Courts? |
A02741 | So that, if there be any that are ready to say; Who will shew us any good? |
A02741 | So what was his quarrell to Michajah? |
A02741 | So, what was it that affoorded Iob such comfort, in his extremities, but his sinceritie, and constancie? |
A02741 | So, where is thy wife? |
A02741 | THirdly, Is it so, that time spent in Gods service, is the best spent time? |
A02741 | That all lyars shall have their part in the lake that burneth with fire, and brimst ● n ●, which is the second death? |
A02741 | That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh, to the lusts of men, but to the will of God: Why so? |
A02741 | The Apostle Peter maketh answer, Whither should we goe? |
A02741 | The Kings daughter is all glorious within: How cometh that to passe? |
A02741 | The sacrifice, what is that? |
A02741 | Then againe, are we universall in our obedience? |
A02741 | Then shall they call, but I will not answer: they shall seeke me early, but shall not finde me: Why so? |
A02741 | Then thou hadst need to begin with all speed, lest thou be prevented by death? |
A02741 | There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? |
A02741 | There is a set time, appointed for well doing, which is the time of this life, which is by no meanes to bee let slip, or omitted? |
A02741 | Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eate? |
A02741 | These were more noble, then those in Thessalonica, saith the text, And why so? |
A02741 | They knew they were elected and become vessels of mercy: and how did they come by this assurance? |
A02741 | Thirdly, But what is life and health without comfort? |
A02741 | Thirdly, Is true grace fitly resembled unto gold? |
A02741 | This appeareth lastly, by the example of our blessed Saviour, when hee had finished his course, how sweetely doth hee conclude? |
A02741 | Thy words were found, and I did eate them: and how did they taste? |
A02741 | To whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises? |
A02741 | Vnderstand yee this Parable? |
A02741 | Vpon what ground did he thus confidently assure himselfe? |
A02741 | Was not this well? |
A02741 | Wash thy heart from wickednesse, O Ierusalem: How long shall thy vaine thoughts lodge within thee? |

A06430 | What two things may be thought more contrary thē God and a sinner, and what is more neerly annexed or more commixt, then God and man? |
A06430 | What wilt thou therefore say, ô man, if a dogge be so faithfull for a bitte of bread, and so intirely loue his Maister? |
A06430 | What wonder is it therefore, if the yoake bee light, which our Lorde sustaineth, lifteth vp, and as it were he himselfe beareth? |
A06430 | What? |
A06430 | What? |
A06430 | When as wee can scarcely heare a little droppe of his wordes( sayth Iob) who can beholde the thunder of his greatnes? |
A06430 | Where is therefore thy vaine hope? |
A06430 | Whereto serueth grace, with infused vertues which are begotten thereof, but to lighten and make the yoake of our Lord tolle ● able? |
A06430 | Which beeing so, what remedy( I pray you) hath hee left, who punished man- kind so greeuously? |
A06430 | Which since it is so, how can it be that thou shouldst beleeue that in ● uture time the affaire of thy con ● ersion will be more easie to thee? |

A06430 | Why instituted hee his Sacraments? |
A06430 | Why ri ● ● from death, except to rayse thee, and make thee walke in newnes of life? |
A06430 | Why sent he ● the holy Ghost? |

A87170 | & c. Enough to overwhelm a poor sinner when he comes to get an inkling of it, that he was then minded; what, me Lord? |
A87170 | ''T is due to Him, quasi regale vertigal, as a royall revenue, and he doth proprio jure credere,( saith Calvin) when he thus disposeth of it? |
A87170 | ( for Christ never took any but sanctified upon him) and how then can he hide himself from his own flesh? |
A87170 | ( wilt thou pound me into powder before my time?) |
A87170 | 1 But may some say, There the righteous indeed may plead with him, and not be cast in their suit; But where are those righteous Ones? |
A87170 | 10.12, 13. why then shouldst thou be excluded? |
A87170 | 23, 24, 25. wilt thou also destroy the Righteous with the wicked? |
A87170 | 3 But what will Arguments work upon God? |
A87170 | 3ly, Why hath he so many ways issued forth and made out Himself? |
A87170 | Alass, O Lord God, sayes he, Wherefore hast thou brought us at all over Jordan? |
A87170 | Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? |
A87170 | And hast thou nothing to offer? |
A87170 | And hath he not made a powerfull Laws in matters of the invisible creation as of the visible? |
A87170 | And if the man Christ Jesus hear thee, will he not answer graciously? |
A87170 | And who would repent his obedience hereunto when he comes to dye and to be torn away from all his outward enjoyments? |
A87170 | And will he not be intreated? |
A87170 | Ask Him if he must now be ashamed of thy hopes, and repent of thy rejoycings and the good thoughts thou hadst conceived of Him? |
A87170 | Ask Him who poured the oyl of consecration upon their heads, whose appointments are they? |
A87170 | Ask him how he can indure to see his execrable slave insult over thee before his face? |
A87170 | Ask him if he can take any pleasure in thy pain? |
A87170 | Ask him now if thou must be ashamed of the Gospel, as thou hast been of the Law, of thy looking for life by it? |
A87170 | Ask him then with this complaint Job, Is it good to thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands? |
A87170 | Ask him whence is it, that thou hast an heart now to seek him; Is it not because he hath found thee, and means to be found of thee? |
A87170 | Ask him( with an humble and holy boldness) if he be not willing to be known? |
A87170 | Ask the Lord Jesus if it be not his work to reconcile, and is the reconciler himself so hard to be reconcileds is the wrath of a Lamb so terrible? |
A87170 | Ask whether he look on thee as in thy present state and station, or as he shall see thee,( after a little while) to all eternity? |
A87170 | Ask whether thou art looked on as in thy self, or as in Christ, in thy surety, thy second self, thy head, thy husband? |
A87170 | Behold I will melt them and try them, for what else small I do, what more can I do for the daughter of my people? |
A87170 | But hast thou not a good mind( before parting) to speak a good word for others also? |
A87170 | But if he will be the teacher, it matters not what the schollar be; he hath no felllow at it, who teacheth like him? |
A87170 | But this was only a tenth of the spoiles taken in war may some say? |
A87170 | But what is all this to me( may a poor soul say,) though I assent unto it, and think I believe it? |
A87170 | But where''s the defect, the default( may some say,) where''s the irregularity to be complained of? |
A87170 | But will this be admitted? |
A87170 | Can this severity be consistent with the sweetest relations? |
A87170 | Demand even of Justice, if Christ hath not fully paid thy ransome? |
A87170 | Did He not die that sin might die and be destroyed? |
A87170 | Did I desire a Son of my Lord? |
A87170 | Didst thou then think of me? |
A87170 | Doth he take care for Oxen and for Asses? |
A87170 | Doth not thy soul cry out to him, Come in thou blessed of the Lord, wherefore standest thou without? |
A87170 | Eighthly, Ask him upon what termes he first entred upon thy heart; Was it not with a Commission there to stay, how ill soever treated or entertained? |
A87170 | Fifthly, Were not all those gracious tenders to backsliders, framed, and filed, and recorded by him? |
A87170 | Fisthly, Ask him if he have nor been found of many a soul that sought him not? |
A87170 | For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him: now put him to it and say, Lord, art thou the plowmans God? |
A87170 | Fourthyly, why hath he so often laid his Commands upon poor sinners to seek him, if he mean not to be found? |
A87170 | Hast thou not prayed( upon these termes) even against power and riches? |
A87170 | Hast thou nothing to complain of to thy Iudge? |
A87170 | Hath he not given thee those two great friends of his for thine Advocates? |
A87170 | Hath not the Father( as well as Christ) an hand in sending the Holy Ghost, to make a discovery and application of all these things? |
A87170 | Have Idolaters this Liberty, and not the true Worshippers that worship in Spirit and Truth? |
A87170 | He had the direction of the spirit for it, saith Calvin, and why not also the instruction of his Ancestors? |
A87170 | How shall I put thee among the children? |
A87170 | Is all this nothing? |
A87170 | Is there a soul with him now in Heaven, whose name is not sought out? |
A87170 | Is this thy case? |
A87170 | Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me Philip? |
A87170 | Job 10.3, 8, 9,& c. Or if that could be his pleasure and his pastime( which sure it is not,) yet ask him if thou art a fit match or mark for him? |
A87170 | Lastly, Ask Him if He Himself smart not in thy sufferings? |
A87170 | Nay, I dare say these considerations here hinted can not miss if rightly used? |
A87170 | Nay, didst thou not begin to rejoyce in that providence, in that relation, in that businesse as dropt from a Father''s hand? |
A87170 | Now wouldest thou not fain have such a guest who alwayes brings his cost with him? |
A87170 | O when wilt thou come unto me? |
A87170 | Secondly, Doth the sense of thy more then ordinary unworthiness oppress thee? |
A87170 | Seventhly, Why doth he allow so long a time to seek him in? |
A87170 | The Wicked shall they have it, and not the Righteous? |
A87170 | The mouth of the Righteous speaketh Wisdom, and his Tongue talketh of Judgement; why so? |
A87170 | Thirdly, Ask him if there be not a double reconciliation plainly taught in the Doctrine of the Gospel? |
A87170 | Thou canst not believe that Christ loves thee so well, as to lay down his Life for thee: But canst thou believe he loves the Father? |
A87170 | Thou hast given Commandment to save me; And to whom? |
A87170 | To Man or Angels? |
A87170 | Was it nothing for him to part with his Son? |
A87170 | When shall the day dawn, wherein the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind see out of obscurity, and out of darkness? |
A87170 | When will He smell in our assemblies a savour of rest, and take pleasure in our solemn meetings, as in the dayes of old? |
A87170 | Who would seek and suck his blood in this sense to spare him, and yet in another not to spare him, but to bruise him, an take pleasure in so doing? |
A87170 | Why do the wonders of nature remain, when those of grace seems to cease? |
A87170 | Why is it not unto his servant according to his word? |
A87170 | Yea, if thou canst not get open the doore, art thou not unfeignedly desirous that he who hath the key of David would open it? |
A87170 | alas no, he knows the contrary, hath he not powred me out as milk and cruddled me like cheese? |
A87170 | and 21, 19. a wonderfull expression of His Patience; but how long Lord holy and true? |
A87170 | and I would know whether that were will- worship in him, or what Law he hath observed, what rule he walked by therein? |
A87170 | and ask if he look not on to require it? |
A87170 | and ask of this be nothing unto thee; if thou art to have no place in this building? |
A87170 | and can he himself forbear to help up the soul of one that loves him? |
A87170 | and dost thou teach him? |
A87170 | and doth not rate away that curre, and pluck him off, and fling him down to hell from whence he came? |
A87170 | and shalt thou not find the essentiall wisdom of the Father to be so? |
A87170 | and spread forth his hands in the midst of our Congregations( to pull in souls unto himself,) as he that swimeth stretcheth forth his hands to swim? |
A87170 | and what are the bowels of all the relations in the world to Gods, but flints and adamants? |
A87170 | and where, or who is he hath no need to plead in this particular? |
A87170 | and will he neither remove thee nor improve thee? |
A87170 | and will he not help with him? |
A87170 | and wilt thou not be my God to teach and to instruct me? |
A87170 | and yet what follows? |
A87170 | are not the eyes of his glory weary of such sad spectacles? |
A87170 | are there no spirits in his spirituall appointments? |
A87170 | art thou not a childe of the day? |
A87170 | but this is not thy case yet? |
A87170 | did Christ come only to cure the sicknesses of the body? |
A87170 | did I not say do not deceive me? |
A87170 | did ever the harshest parent beat a child( how bad soever) all the day long, and all the night, or so long together without intermission? |
A87170 | from one that seeks him? |
A87170 | hast thou not been in this regard more afraid of riches, honour, greatness, then their contraries? |
A87170 | he that hath seen me hath seen the Father, and how sayest thou then, shew us the Father? |
A87170 | holden with the cords of thy sin? |
A87170 | how can he indure to see his own flesh so shamefully abused? |
A87170 | how long shall all his poor Ministers complain, that Conversion work hath a stop put on it every wheren? |
A87170 | if Christ Himself do not suffer and bleed afresh? |
A87170 | if that be agreeable to the incomparable sweetness of his only good nature? |
A87170 | if that can be suitable to the bowels and compassions of those relations wherewith he hath condescended to aray himself? |
A87170 | if thou shalt be the first that ever was refused by him? |
A87170 | indeed when the great day of his wrath is come it will be so, and who then shall be able to abide it? |
A87170 | into whose bones will not rottenness enter? |
A87170 | is it so where there is but a drop,& not so where there is the whole Ocean? |
A87170 | is not the Sun of righteousness risen upon thee? |
A87170 | it was wo nt so to do in former times? |
A87170 | lest thou shouldst be full and deny him, and say, who is the Lord? |
A87170 | niether cut thee down nor make thee fruitfull? |
A87170 | no Enemy coming in as a flood to oppress and do thee wrong? |
A87170 | no Iron- yoak that gals thy shoulders? |
A87170 | no Law to make our spirits move and stirre in those seasons of love and grace? |
A87170 | no Violence and Spoil to cry out and complain of? |
A87170 | not a sigh? |
A87170 | not one look? |
A87170 | not one touch this day in this duty? |
A87170 | not the groanings of thy soul? |
A87170 | or if this be it, why then is not thy heart purified, heart and life sactified by it? |
A87170 | or must thou look for another? |
A87170 | or saith he these things to Israel only to Israel after the flesh, and saith he not the same to all Nations? |
A87170 | or was it our ambition and covetousness that brought us over? |
A87170 | or were not all these cures the types and representations of those he came to work upon the souls of sinners? |
A87170 | our dearest Father, sweetest Saviour, only comforter? |
A87170 | shall not the Saints with delight see the corner stone of their Salvation laid by the hand of the Father? |
A87170 | shalt thou find a stone instead of bread, and instead of a fish a Serpent? |

A41644 | What if their advice may seem unsafe, and others must needs be chosen? |
A41644 | What inducement hath this gracious preservation been to the reformation of my Life? |
A41644 | What is it but the destroying the Honour of him, who saved us from destruction? |
A41644 | What is our Rebellion after the reception of such mercies, but to declare we account not our selves obliged to God for them? |
A41644 | What is the Vine- tree more than another? |
A41644 | What is the great contrivance at this day of the Papists, and such as affect them, but to suppress our fears by cheating devices? |
A41644 | What is their work, but to lull us asleep, and then to be butchering of us? |
A41644 | What is this but to disown the greatness of the favours God bestows upon us? |
A41644 | What is this but to make God an unholy God? |
A41644 | What is weeping good for, but to testifie our sorrow for sin? |
A41644 | What less in our thoughts than how much God hath done for us? |
A41644 | What makes a stop to our deliverance, but our continuance in sin? |
A41644 | What may God expect, when stretching out his hand to help us, but tha ● then we will inclin ● our hearts to honour him? |
A41644 | What more merited, what more just? |
A41644 | What more provoking sight can be beheld, than a man impudent in evil under judgment, and barren in good under mercies? |
A41644 | What more unjust, than to cross such gracious designs as these? |
A41644 | What need then is there to apply our selves most frequently to the Throne of Grace, for heavenly Influences on earthly Blessings? |
A41644 | What need then is there to be careful, that we disoblige not Mercy? |
A41644 | What notice is there taken that such a work hath been done amongst us? |
A41644 | What obedience, service, love, and respects, do sinners vow to God on a Bed of sickness, languishing to death? |
A41644 | What pretence can favour such Impieties? |
A41644 | What profession can cloak such Wickedness? |
A41644 | What readiness to do for man, when doing for us? |
A41644 | What shall I render to the Lord for all his mercy? |
A41644 | What should you have seen? |
A41644 | What sighs can be deep enough for a Nation so deeply involved in sin? |
A41644 | What stupifying Opiums hath the Devil perswaded us to swallow, that makes us so mindless of approaching miseries? |
A41644 | What then remains? |
A41644 | What though we are spared this once, after all our former evasions? |
A41644 | What was there but careless and senseless doings, when that dreadful Deluge surpriz''d the world of old? |
A41644 | What would we have promis''d then, when no less than a whole Nation was languishing, and every Enjoyment ready to give up the Ghost? |
A41644 | What, are you so impudent after all your unkindness to me, to seek kindness from me? |
A41644 | What, do ye that have forsaken me so long, flee to me now? |
A41644 | What, do ye think I will shelter such enemies as you? |
A41644 | When God hath lifted thee up from a low condition, and thou hast gone on in a wicked life, with what face canst thou look upon God again? |
A41644 | When men are soaked in Sensuality, flesht in Villany, thorough- paced in Rebellious courses, what is able to change them? |
A41644 | When mercies are new, how frequent is our remembrance of them? |
A41644 | When shall it once ● e, after so many lesser Judgments ● ounding warnings to us to prevent ● ur ruine? |
A41644 | Where are the lips that praise him, the lives that honour him for it? |
A41644 | Where are the tokens of thankful respects for unmerited favours? |
A41644 | Where are the weeping eyes, the mourning hearts? |
A41644 | Wherefore then hast thou despised the command of the Lord, to do this evil in his sight? |
A41644 | Whither now shall we go, when access is denyed to God? |
A41644 | Whither shall the poor creature go, if Mercy be gone? |
A41644 | Who could have endur''d the sight of Sucking- babes snatch''d from their Mothers breasts and dash''d against destroying stones? |
A41644 | Who could have seen them sprawling on the tops of Pikes and hurl''d into cruel Flames, without bleeding hearts? |
A41644 | Who could have thought Lot should fall into such Impieties, upon the receipt of such mercies? |
A41644 | Who lays to heart the operations of his hands? |
A41644 | Why Lord hast thou made Phocas an Emperour? |
A41644 | Why should we make him be doing his works of Judgment, since he declares his unwillingness to it? |
A41644 | Why should we not be made as Sodome by judgments, that parallel it in sins? |
A41644 | Why then do we flatter our selves, and cry Peace, peace? |
A41644 | Why will you blast all your hopes of escape, and wither that flower that''s springing up? |
A41644 | Wi ● God exercis ● Mercy to his own disadvantage? |
A41644 | Will a Master suffer a Servant to be engag''d in the work of another, when he hath hired him for his own? |
A41644 | Will a ● ational man put Weapons into the hands of those would slay him with them? |
A41644 | Will not God say thus to us, when fleeing to him in distress? |
A41644 | Will not God say, Be gone, I''ll admit you no more, I''ll hearken neither to your Prayers nor Promises? |
A41644 | Will not Vengeance fall upon us with a witness, if we proceed in such ungrateful courses? |
A41644 | Will not a consumption be decreed from the Lord of Hosts against us? |
A41644 | Will not inward troubles be a dreadful increase of distress in times of Judgment? |
A41644 | Will not our Foes be contriving and hastening our ruine, ere we have counsel to prevent it? |
A41644 | Will not our days be yet shortned, if we remain so straitned in Duties still? |
A41644 | Will not our furious enemies prevail over us, when our most fervent prayers can not prevail with God? |
A41644 | Will not our sinning after Deliverance give such cause of abstaining from pitying of us? |
A41644 | Will not the Enemies of our Nation be working all this while? |
A41644 | Will not the Lord soon rush out upon a people with wonderful plagues, when they are knocking at the door of justice by such impenitent courses? |
A41644 | Will not this grave- stone be laid upon us? |
A41644 | Will nothing serve your turn but destruction, and desolation, and undoing judgements? |
A41644 | Will security in sin be sufficient guard to preserve us from all Conspiracies? |
A41644 | Will this be a worthy deed, to spare a thief from the gallows to cut our throats? |
A41644 | Will ye steal, and murder, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? |
A41644 | Will you hate me, because I help you? |
A41644 | Will you oppose me, because I appear so often for you? |
A41644 | Will you rebel, because I relieve you? |
A41644 | Will you tell the Lord, you are weary of his Mercies, and will never regard them? |
A41644 | Wilt make nothing of displeasing God, when he gives thee such Mercies as all the men on Earth can not bestow upon thee? |
A41644 | Wilt thou not fear God will tell thee, thy Prayer is an abomination? |
A41644 | Wilt thou stab me? |
A41644 | With what face can we trample on the just and sacred Commands of our merciful God, whilst he smiles upon us with such unmerited favours? |
A41644 | With what terrour may we look on those words? |
A41644 | Would Heathens offer to do such things to their feigned Gods, or offer such affronts unto them, could they but do such favours for them? |
A41644 | Would not this be a heavy Judgment? |
A41644 | Would not this be an unpardonable crime, and a means most infallibly to ruine us? |
A41644 | Would you deliver ● man to destroy you? |
A41644 | Would you have promised these things, and will you not perform them? |
A41644 | Wouldst thou not offend an earthly Friend, and wilt thou offend a heavenly Friend? |
A41644 | You have his sense of danger, if sin was persisted in after such a deliverance; Wouldst thou not consume us? |
A41644 | You whom I have so deliver''d? |
A41644 | You whom I have so often preserved, shall I meet with these dealings from you? |
A41644 | and may not God justly leave us to ruine, and suffer our destruction who deal thus unanswerably with him? |
A41644 | and ruining one another by unhappy Divisions? |
A41644 | and what else is our persistence in sin, but a testimony of our allowance of it? |
A41644 | and what may we thank but our pride and profaneness, our ingratitude and ungodliness, after obliging mercies? |
A41644 | and will not our sins in the abundance of mercies, make him destroy both us and our King? |
A41644 | are we out of his reach, that we fea ● no ruine? |
A41644 | but thus prone are we to abuse goodness, and ready to slight the greatest kindness: how often do we turn our Physick to poison? |
A41644 | but when nothing is successful, mercy gives over; and what but intolerable vengeance will then lye upon us? |
A41644 | can neither God nor man do us any harm, whilst we imagine our selves out of danger? |
A41644 | can we match him with equa ● forces? |
A41644 | can you daunt his unalterable courage? |
A41644 | can you hold the Almighties hands, or lay bonds on his judgments, that they shall not destroy you Will God suffer his creatures to insult ove ● him? |
A41644 | could you bear such undervaluing of kindness from fellow- Creatures? |
A41644 | dare you declare they deserve no obedience? |
A41644 | do we not profess him, and worship him? |
A41644 | filling our Land with the hateful noise of our crying Iniquities, when God hath fill''d it with the blessed sounds of unspeakable Mercies? |
A41644 | have we not been driving God away from us; as weary of his Ordinances, tired with Gospel- proffers, nauseating Mercies, and despising Deliverances? |
A41644 | how do we enjoy mercies, and never improve them? |
A41644 | how do we surfeit with mercies, and wax sick with the kindness of Heaven, and yet say, It shall be well with us? |
A41644 | how then can God from you? |
A41644 | let your Conscience speak, would not this be horrid Blasphemy? |
A41644 | or will not these showers of mercy suddenly ripen it? |
A41644 | shall I not be avenged on such a Nation as this? |
A41644 | shall all these things have no notice taken of them? |
A41644 | shall they all be dis- regarded? |
A41644 | shall we not then have his judgments, and feel his vengeance? |
A41644 | their highest, chiefest, most notorious si ● was at Gilgal; why there? |
A41644 | to have innumerable iniquities crying for judgments, and none to plead for them? |
A41644 | to have invincible enemies opposing of them, and none to assist them? |
A41644 | to have the glorious Gospel continued amongst us? |
A41644 | to mischief his Honour with his Mercies? |
A41644 | we read the wicked prosper; why are they not stopt in their courses? |
A41644 | we weary man, but will ye weary God also? |
A41644 | what displeasing Lust have I unfeignedly left? |
A41644 | what price would they give to be free from pain? |
A41644 | what spiritual Obedience have I closed withal, since I enjoyed this unspeakable Mercy? |
A41644 | when shall it ● nce be? |
A41644 | when that Embassador that was wo nt to prevail for a gracious Treaty, shall be denyed? |
A41644 | when that omnipotent engine can attract no compassions? |
A41644 | when that successful friend shall be denyed admittance to the Court of Heaven? |
A41644 | where shall we have supplies, if our former store- house be shut up? |
A41644 | which of us hath not suffered Divine Favours to slip out of our minds? |
A41644 | whither can we turn, when he turneth away our prayers? |
A41644 | why should it not be burnt? |
A41644 | will not the vials of wrath be unspeakably full, and the storm of vengeance most horrible, which hath been so long in gathering? |
A41644 | will this always continue? |
A41644 | will you say''t is not worth while to leave sinning for these? |
A41644 | — Seeing thou hast given us such a deliverance as this, should we again break thy commandment? |
A41644 | — Wouldst not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping? |
A41644 | — Wouldst thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us? |

A26871 | 38. Who do you think it is that Christ meaneth, when he saith, I send you as Lambs among Wolves? |
A26871 | Alas how great, and how uncureable? |
A26871 | Alas, Lord, why must the Churches be left in such hands? |
A26871 | And Hatred tends to Hurtfulness: What plotting and labouring is there in the world, to ruine and destroy each other? |
A26871 | And are not the greater number of European Bishops known Papists? |
A26871 | And are not you such Separatists from all the world, saving the Assembly where you meet? |
A26871 | And are the Protestant Reformed Churches free from fleshly, worldly, wicked men? |
A26871 | And are these such good and pleasant fruits as should entice us to change our master, work and hopes, for this, and worse that followeth it? |
A26871 | And are they all in the right? |
A26871 | And are they odious corrupters of Religion, who omit no part of Religion, but only humane indifferent things? |
A26871 | And are those Separatists from your Church, who only separate from that which is no part of your Church or Worship? |
A26871 | And at the same time hate Purity and Holiness? |
A26871 | And can we have a higher, purer pattern? |
A26871 | And can you reconcile all this to our Oath of Supremacy, and the Canons that establish it, renouncing all forreign Iurisdiction? |
A26871 | And can you think that he loveth you, or that his Service against God is better than Gods; or his reward better? |
A26871 | And can you wonder here if men fluctuate in uncertainty? |
A26871 | And did not the present Nonconformists shew the same judgment 1660 and 1661 in their treaty? |
A26871 | And did the Apostles offer God so odious a worship as deserved hatred and destruction? |
A26871 | And do not many come to your assemblies? |
A26871 | And do sinners need to be blamed for obedience? |
A26871 | And do they not by this confute their own accusations? |
A26871 | And do those that you accuse do more for their Salvation? |
A26871 | And do you at once accuse them as sinners and hate them for obeying God, and sinning no more? |
A26871 | And do you hate men for being such as you have vowed to be your selves? |
A26871 | And do you not see in Print what Mr. Tombes the Anabaptist wrote long ago to perswade his followers to your communion? |
A26871 | And do you think he will justifie his Enemies, that hated, accused and condemned his Servants? |

A26871 | And how the French Massacre and Murders of Kings, and the horrid Inquisition set all our Parliaments against you? |
A26871 | And how the Murder of 200000 in Ireland drove many thousands into the Parliaments Army that else would not have gone? |
A26871 | And if England may not suffer such, why should any other nation suffer them? |
A26871 | And if God command it, and you condemn it, do you not condemn God? |

A26871 | And will you yet stir up all the Land to fear and hate you? |
A26871 | And would they not all that are Ministers Preach there if they could have leave? |
A26871 | And yet do you accuse them, and hate them most for not sinning? |
A26871 | And yet is there any Enmity or Disagreement? |
A26871 | And you your selves keep holy days for many Saints: And will you at the same time hate and hurt those that endeavour to imitate them? |
A26871 | And, is such a blasphemer meet for humane Society, who will accuse his Maker? |
A26871 | Are all the Wars of Italy, Germany,& c. against Princes and Emperors, for the Pope, forgotten? |
A26871 | Are any hurt by this? |
A26871 | Are not things indifferent variable as Countreys and Ages are? |
A26871 | Are not your foresaid Council Canons which are your Religion, visible? |

A26871 | Are there no unfaithful and unskilful Ministers? |
A26871 | Are they wiser men than they that have made us another rule or worship? |
A26871 | Are you greater than God, and more to be feared? |
A26871 | Are you more merciful than God, and would save us from some hurt that he would do us? |
A26871 | Are you not your selves in your baptism Vowed and Devoted to God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, renouncing the world, the Flesh and the Devil? |
A26871 | Are you sure you can make God believe you, that these men are as bad as you affirm? |
A26871 | Are you sure you can overcome him? |
A26871 | Are you truer than God, and more to be believed? |
A26871 | Are you wiser than God, and dare you give him the lie, that we should believe you before him? |
A26871 | Are your wills and lusts and appetites a better law? |
A26871 | As if it were the interest of the nobler and the Servile parts to weaken or destroy each other? |
A26871 | As many as will live godly in Christ Iesus shall suffer Persecution,& c. Who do you think all this is spoken of? |
A26871 | As to your Church communion, can you blind mens eyes, that they shall not read, what the old Nonconformists have written to perswade men to it? |
A26871 | But again, do you believe that most, or all that you keep in, are wiser and more knowing than those that you cast out? |
A26871 | But are not they for Monarchy in the state? |
A26871 | But by whom did they die? |
A26871 | But how few men are alive that had any hand in those miserable Wars? |
A26871 | But if they are such an absolutely necessary rule as you pretend, why do not teachers preach them to us daily as they do the Sacred Scriptures? |
A26871 | But if this be the true cause why do you cull out those that have least sin to fasten your accusations of sin upon? |
A26871 | But the Question is, Whether they may not be thus brought to concord by consent? |
A26871 | But they are Schismaticks, and Separate from the Church; and is not that a damnable sin? |
A26871 | But what need they make such a stir with their Religion: What need they any more than go to Church and live obediently and be quiet? |
A26871 | But what''s all this to the poor Priests? |
A26871 | But what''s this to Councils when there are none? |
A26871 | But who is it that they separate from? |
A26871 | But why did not the people do so all this while? |
A26871 | Can a man believe a thing to be a wicked errour meerly because the Canon saith so? |
A26871 | Can he not answer you? |
A26871 | Can not we have Life, Liberty, Peace and Love without things indifferent? |
A26871 | Can we return him more than his due? |
A26871 | Can you do none of this, and yet will you venture a War against God? |
A26871 | Christ came into the world to die for sin, to shew Gods hatred of it: And would you have us wilfully to commit it, and to despise his Blood? |
A26871 | Dare any man of Self- knowledge and Conscience say, that all your Worship is not more faulty, than is the omission of a Form or Ceremony? |
A26871 | Dare any man that believeth there is a God, say, that man can Love him too much? |
A26871 | Did Christ take Mans Nature, and die to save them, and will he now turn on Satans side against them? |
A26871 | Did the Apostles or first Churches banish any on such accounts? |
A26871 | Did the Holy- Ghost by them write an infallible Rule for all things necessary in Religion? |
A26871 | Did they worship God in an odious, intolerable manner? |
A26871 | Do not all Churches require obedience to their Orders? |
A26871 | Do not the Imposers say that all which they add is no part of Religion, but things indifferent? |
A26871 | Do they forsake the Assemblies before they are excommunicated? |
A26871 | Do they not profess Union and Communion with the whole Catholick Church on Earth? |
A26871 | Do you call them the things Indifferent, and then call it a wicked errour to hold them sinful? |
A26871 | Do you call them to Church and reproach them for not coming, and seek to ruin them for it, and now accuse them for coming? |
A26871 | Do you do all this without any purpose or hope to drive them to conformity? |
A26871 | Do you know all the persons whom you accuse? |
A26871 | Do you know any that doth Gods will better than it''s done in Heaven? |
A26871 | Do you lay men in Jail by it, and yet think it must be unknown? |
A26871 | Do you not in your daily hypocritical devotions condemn your selves by your own tongues? |

A26871 | Doubtless you know that you are sinners: And how think you to be justified at the Bar of God? |
A26871 | God hath in wonderful mercy given us peace from forreign Enemies? |
A26871 | God is merciful; and will he save none but Puritans, or precise zealots? |
A26871 | God needs us not: His Laws are all made for our good? |
A26871 | Had you not rather have a son that takes Disobedience, Whoredom, Gaming and Drunkenness for sin, than one that makes no Conscience of them? |
A26871 | Had you rather die a Dives or a Herod, or a Lazarus or a Paul? |

A26871 | Is there any but Christ to judge and justify you? |
A26871 | Is your flesh and lust a better master? |

A26871 | Let us try first whether you will do far less at our request? |
A26871 | Must Kings choose us a God? |
A26871 | Nineteen parts in Thirty of the Earth are Idolaters and Heathens: And do I need to say, how ignorant, wicked and miserable they are? |
A26871 | No man understandeth all the Bible: And are many Laws and Books more necessary than Gods? |
A26871 | Of Turks and Christians; of Wolves and Sheep, that I say not of Devils and Men? |

A26871 | They are willing to do all required in Scripture by Christ and his Apostles: And were they Rebels and Rogues? |
A26871 | They subscribe to all the Bible, and the ancient Creeds? |
A26871 | This is the very tenor of the Gospel: And would you wish men to damn their Souls for nothing? |
A26871 | To lose Heaven, and suffer Hell for ever, and all to avoid a pure and holy life? |
A26871 | To serve and worship God no otherwise than Peter and Paul did, and than God prescribeth is enough to render us unworthy to live on English Earth? |

A26871 | Who hath these 22 two years manifested most desires of Peace? |
A26871 | Who kindled all the hellish flames of thy malignity and mad divisions? |
A26871 | Why are they not these twenty years accused of Preaching false Doctrine, and proved guilty and punisht for it, if they are such? |
A26871 | Why do they differ from their Neighbours, and judge all carnal that be not as Scrupulous as they? |
A26871 | Why do you never find fault with men for being too strong, too healthful, too rich, too great, but only for being too obedient to God? |
A26871 | Why do you not ingenuously plead your cause against us, so as may satisfy an understanding Conscience, before you seek our destruction? |
A26871 | Why do you play your game under board, and behind the Curtain? |
A26871 | Why do you take on you to believe in Christ, if you be against holiness, and for sin? |
A26871 | Why will they be righteous over much; will not less ado bring men to Heaven? |
A26871 | Will Christ banish them from his Kingdom? |
A26871 | Will God ever bless a prophane rabble( or Gentry) to be the honour and strength of the Church, against the Religious that desire a Reformation? |
A26871 | Will no Patrons chuse such? |
A26871 | Will not all the world be forbidden to worship God, if all as bad as this be forbidden? |
A26871 | Will not this perswade the people that all is true that is said of your intended cruelty, and make them fear you, as so many Leopards or Wolves? |
A26871 | Will not this project perjure England? |
A26871 | Will they not say, if the young Serpents can so easily sting, what will the old ones do? |
A26871 | Will you follow this Rule in France or Spain? |
A26871 | Will you give the poor all your Lands and Estates? |
A26871 | Will you run into Fire or Water, or set your own houses on fire when any will but desire it? |
A26871 | Will you undertake to answer for it at the bar of God, if we are charged with an ungodly, fleshly life, or omitting our necessary duty? |
A26871 | Would you have God judge of them as you do? |
A26871 | Ye shall be hated of all men for my names sakes; Blessed are they that suffer persecution for righteousness sake? |
A26871 | Yea the Papists honour the very Bones and Relicks of their dead Saints? |
A26871 | You are worse than man- eating Cannibals? |
A26871 | You''ll say, It is Christians: True: But is it Hypocrites? |
A26871 | and must he be believed? |
A26871 | and that he hath malice and craft enough to say as bad as you can say, by the best of men? |
A26871 | and were they proved insufficient? |
A26871 | and why it is no more remedied? |
A26871 | and yet are they unsufferable rogues that worship God but according to that rule? |
A26871 | from ignorant malignant cruel Enemies to Truth, and Piety, and Peace? |
A26871 | or any better work to do than he commandeth, or any better thing to seek and hope for than he hath promised? |
A26871 | or do you thus accuse whole companies of men? |
A26871 | or have they more of Gods Spirit, and more authority in religion? |
A26871 | or hypocrites, how few then do you make to be saved, if God be true? |
A26871 | or in Infancy when you could not go? |
A26871 | or only since? |
A26871 | or too much honour him, or obey him? |
A26871 | so they may in others Forms, with whom yet they profess Communion: And in what is it that they shew dislike or separation? |
A26871 | to omit all worship of God and live like Atheists, or to omit only so much of the Liturgy as the Apostles used not? |
A26871 | what a Map of Hell is the greatest part of Earth? |
A26871 | what great change is here of their judgments? |
A26871 | when thousands can not answer a necessary question of the Creed or Catechism; nor know who Christ is, and how he saveth us? |
A26871 | would they not perjure the Kingdom? |
A25404 | 15. we must seek for the truth, as Solomon saith men must do for wisdom, how is that? |
A25404 | 3 And then we may boldly say with the Prophet, why art thou so vexed, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
A25404 | 7. where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth when the morning stars sung together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? |
A25404 | A ceasing from labour: and if we ask from what labour? |
A25404 | A sinne it must needs be, else what needed a sacrifice for it? |
A25404 | Ab condam 〈 ◊ 〉 ab 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A25404 | Ad quid 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A25404 | Again, wicked men have good children, and why? |
A25404 | An earthly kings wrath is as 〈 ◊ 〉 of death, and as the roaring of a lyon, then what is the wrath of the King of kings? |
A25404 | An sit 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A25404 | And Esay asketh the question, Quem docebit 〈 ◊ 〉, whom shall he teach knowledge? |
A25404 | And God being at least as good as a Prince, ipsius 〈 ◊ 〉 non credere quanta impietas? |
A25404 | And Isaac said to his father, here is wood and fire, but where is the sacrifice? |
A25404 | And S. Paul shewing that this is infallible, saith, Know ye not to whom ye yield your selves servants to obey, his servants ye are whom ye obey? |
A25404 | And Saint James prescribes no other remedy for afflictions then this, Is any among you afflict d? |
A25404 | And he that made the eye shall he not see? |
A25404 | And how these Kings? |
A25404 | And in in the next verse, Know ye not that we shall judge the Angels? |
A25404 | And in the next Chapter, what an unheard of example of lust have we? |
A25404 | And that which is more strange, the Devil,( though the father of lies) could say to the woman, Yea is it true indeed? |
A25404 | And the Prophet Esay, why should ye be stricken any more? |
A25404 | And the same saith Solomon, Look not upon the Wine, when it is red, and sheweth his colour in the cup, or goeth down pleasantly, and why? |
A25404 | And then, as the 〈 ◊ 〉 saith, 〈 … 〉? |
A25404 | And therefore Abrahams servant put a good caution into his oath; what if the woman will not come with me? |
A25404 | And therefore S. Paul saith, Do we provoke the Lord to jealousie, are we stronger then he? |
A25404 | And therefore it was the song of them that overcame the beast, Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorifie thy Name? |
A25404 | And therefore we see that the Bereans were much commended, and storied for wiser and nobler 〈 ◊ 〉 other people, why? |
A25404 | And this being so, what can be more uncertain? |
A25404 | And what followed? |
A25404 | And what lovest thou then in him? |
A25404 | And what manner was it? |
A25404 | And who is that other person? |
A25404 | And why made he it? |
A25404 | And why? |
A25404 | And( not to trouble you with many presidents) it is said of the Jews, that they mocked the messengers of God and despised his words( how long?) |
A25404 | As how know I, whether a man be hungry or not? |
A25404 | As if he should say, do such service as this to your Prince, would he take it well at your hands? |
A25404 | As when Christ was asked by 〈 ◊ 〉, Whether he were a King? |
A25404 | Audis? |
A25404 | But he will punish the wicked more grievously; for as our Saviour speaks, If this be done in me that am a green tree, what shall become of the dry? |
A25404 | But here falleth in an obiection, what if they will not be reconciled? |
A25404 | But how then shall we acquit God of injustice, and how is his promise of long life, to them that honour their superiours performed? |
A25404 | But is there any man that can hate God? |
A25404 | But it is objected, what if the minister be of bad life and conversation? |
A25404 | But may not this which is thus given be taken away by the Magistrate? |
A25404 | But the Apostle nips this conceit, and abateth the edge of this degree of Pride, by saying, What hast thou that thou hast not received? |
A25404 | But the spiritual man glories in tribulation, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and why? |
A25404 | But then it is objected, That if this Notion be so generall, how comes it that there are so many Atheists? |
A25404 | But this onus principis, say they in the Prophet, how may we be rid of it? |
A25404 | But to whom is this mercy promised? |
A25404 | But what saith God? |
A25404 | But what saith he to this? |
A25404 | By bringing one into danger, as 〈 ◊ 〉 did David, who made him captain against the Philistims; to what end? |
A25404 | By urging as, Jobs wife, dost thou still retain thine integrity? |
A25404 | Call upon me( saith he) in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee( but upon what condition?) |
A25404 | Can two go together, saith the Prophet, unlesse they be agreed? |
A25404 | Can two walk together( saith the Prophet) and not be agreed? |
A25404 | Cui bono? |
A25404 | Cui to whom? |
A25404 | Deus sum: Non audis? |
A25404 | Did not he in his last act of benefit bring the handfull of Israelites from the power of Pharaoh? |
A25404 | Did our Saviour come to the wedding to teach children to despise their mothers? |
A25404 | Didst well? |
A25404 | Do not the rich oppresse you by tyranny, and do they not draw you before the judgement seats? |
A25404 | Dominicum servasti? |
A25404 | Dost thou govern the kingdom of Israel? |
A25404 | Doth Job serve God for nought? |
A25404 | Eo se conferre ubi 〈 ◊ 〉 est, to resort to the place where God is: and where is that? |
A25404 | Fiftly Arnobius Objicis nobis imagines, quid hae, nisi vilissima fabrorum opera? |
A25404 | For as S. Augustine saith, Quid est home, quod amaxi vis ab 〈 ◊ 〉, et si non amet te, minavis ingentem poenam? |
A25404 | For how came it to be the Lords day, but that as it is in the Psalm, The Lord made it? |
A25404 | For how were they the creatures made? |
A25404 | For neernesse in Nature, what neerer Relation can there be, then that of the Creator, and the Creature? |
A25404 | For the first, say they, when thou goest about any thing, cometh thy wealth first into thy minde? |
A25404 | For the heart is deceitfull( as the Prophet truely saith) above all things, and desperately wicked, quis cognoscit idem, who knows it? |
A25404 | For their answer to their father Jacob was, should he deale with our sister as with a harlot? |
A25404 | For there are some that serve indeed, but how? |
A25404 | For what is there to be blamed in war? |
A25404 | From the sting of Conscience, fom sin, from death: how much do the Devil and his Angels passe the power and malice of Pharaoh, and his task- masters? |
A25404 | God answered, is the Lords hand waxed short? |
A25404 | God by the Prophet saith, that he took order that one man should be joyned to one woman, why? |
A25404 | God teaches the contrary by his own example, though he knew the matter before, yet he proceeds judicially, Vbies Adam? |
A25404 | God will demand ubi est grex 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A25404 | Hath God made all men for nought or in vain? |
A25404 | Hath God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? |
A25404 | He asketh Peter, Do they use to receive tribute of strangers, or of their own children? |
A25404 | He smote( said they) the stony rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed, can he give bread also? |
A25404 | He that feeds them that despise him, will he not feed them that love him? |

A30598 | Now in what disposition of heart do we thus ● ouch to God more, than when we have this Contentation in all conditions that God disposed us unto? |
A30598 | Now shall Gods mercies aggravate our sins? |
A30598 | Now when I perform a duty, I worship God, I do what pleases God: why should I not as well worship God when I am pleased with what God doth? |
A30598 | O my Soul why art thou disquieted? |
A30598 | Oh how opposite is this to that work, and how unseeming? |

A30598 | Saith Sineus, Indeed it is likely which your Grace speaketh: But when we have won Italy, will then our wars end? |
A30598 | Secondly, If it were greater than others: why is thy eye evil because the eye of God is good? |
A30598 | Secondly, Thou didst heretofore more prosper, did God heretofore give thee more prosperity? |
A30598 | Secondly, When thou did''st take a great deal of pains, was it not with submission to God? |
A30598 | Seek ye the Priest- hood also? |
A30598 | Shall one that will sit still and be of no use, yet for all that he must have all the supply that possibly he can desire? |
A30598 | So I may say to every discontented impatient heart, what shall the providence of God change it''s course for thee? |
A30598 | So I say, if the Lord had required you to suffer some great matter, would not you have been willing to suffer? |
A30598 | So doth not Christ thy husband say to thee, Am not I better to thee than thousands of riches and comforts? |
A30598 | So may we say, we hear of so many thousands coming against us; But how many do you reckon Jesus Christ for? |
A30598 | So saith God to a gracious heart, thou wantest this, thy estate is plundered: Why? |
A30598 | So what doest thou get by being a Beleever, a Christian? |
A30598 | So when the passion of your fears and troubles come up, can you then trust in God? |
A30598 | So, am I in great pain of my body? |
A30598 | So, doest thou speak against Gods waies, and his providences that hath fallen out concerning thy estate and outward comforts? |
A30598 | Some of Jobs friends said to him, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee, and shall the rock be removed out of his place? |

A30598 | Take heed of murmuring as some of them did,( he speaks of the people of Israel in the wildernesse,) but saith he, what came of it? |
A30598 | Take heed then that we have not our hearts sinck, because of straights: Let us not say, why is it thus with us? |
A30598 | That every Christian should do: have I an estate now? |
A30598 | That then the heart begins to reason as he in the Kings, If the Lord should open the windows of heaven how should this be? |
A30598 | That which God gave you before, upon what terms did you hold it? |
A30598 | The Saints in Heaven have not houses, and lands, and money, and meat and drink, and cloaths, you wil say, they do not need them; why do they not? |
A30598 | The profession of a Christian, what''s that? |

A30598 | These Afflictions they are but for a moment? |
A30598 | Thirdly, Doest thou find God departing from thee in thine affliction? |
A30598 | Thirdly, Is thy affliction greater than others? |
A30598 | Thou art crost in thy desires, now thou art discontented and vext and fretted at it, is that thy only misery that thou art crost in thy desires? |

A30598 | We faint not( saith the Apostle) Why? |
A30598 | What a foolish thing is this, that because I have not what I would have, I will not injoy the comfort of what I have? |
A30598 | What am I that soul that the Lord hath discovered such infinit excellency of Jesus Christ to? |
A30598 | What are the things that do disquiet us here but some by- matters in this world? |
A30598 | What are we come to this? |
A30598 | What art thou O great mountain, that art before them? |
A30598 | What do you think that such a cross and affliction doth sting you? |
A30598 | What doest thou think there is no way for the Contentment of thy spirit but this getting off thy burden? |
A30598 | What doth this murmuring discontented heart of thine do otherwise but wrangle and contind and strive even with God himself? |

A30598 | What''s the meaning of this text? |
A30598 | What''s the work of God when he brings a sinner home to himself? |
A30598 | When God hath let thee have thy hearts desire, what hast thou done with thy hearts desire? |

A30598 | Who is this that darkneth counsel by words without knowledge? |
A30598 | Why dispise you the prayers of the Saints of God, as if there were nothing in their prayers? |
A30598 | Will this help him? |
A30598 | Wilt thou be a Rebel against God? |
A30598 | Wilt thou be above God? |
A30598 | With what relation( you will say?) |
A30598 | You give me somewhat to drink, and my wound is in my arme, or in my leg, what good will this do that I put in my stomack? |
A30598 | You will say how is that? |
A30598 | You will say how is this? |
A30598 | You will say, Can I have the strength of Christ? |
A30598 | You will say, I, but you do not know what our afflictions are, our afflictions are so as you do not conceive of them because you feel them not? |
A30598 | You will say, how are they my servants, I can not command them? |
A30598 | You will say, how are they sure, their lives and estates go as well as others? |
A30598 | You will say, wherein is this graciousness of Contentment distinguisht from all these? |
A30598 | according to our imployment? |
A30598 | and do''st not thou stand in relation to him as a child? |
A30598 | and hath not God heretofore delivered me from great straights and extremities, even from the wrath of God himself, and from his justice? |
A30598 | and have said, Husband, why go we from our own Country, and our friends, and so are brought into such straights? |
A30598 | and how might I have honoured my profession? |
A30598 | and is this thy faith? |
A30598 | and rise then, and beat it down with the contrary grace? |
A30598 | and what a deal of comfort might I have enjoyed? |
A30598 | and what am I in comparison of Christ? |
A30598 | and will he not with him give thee all things? |
A30598 | art thou a Christian to that end? |
A30598 | art thou he that hath cast thy soul upon Jesus Christ for all good? |
A30598 | as he saith in another case, Is this thy faith? |
A30598 | but still you are discontented with what you have and must have more, seek ye yet more? |
A30598 | but the Lord knows it hath been far otherwise, Oh how far have I been from this grace of Contentment that hath been opened to me? |
A30598 | but this may be but a temptation, therefore you should rather think, What doth God require of me in the condition I am now brought into? |
A30598 | do we more in our cause? |
A30598 | do you murmur and repine? |
A30598 | doth God make the creature suffer for my use? |
A30598 | for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth: How long wilt thou go about, Oh thou backsliding daughter? |
A30598 | for which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: And what is Aaron that ye murmur against him? |
A30598 | had they done any thing amisse? |
A30598 | hast thou ever tryed this way of getting contentment, to act thy faith upon all the pains and sufferings that Jesus Christ did suffer? |
A30598 | hath the love of God bin to thee to give thee his Son in way of marriage? |
A30598 | have I comfort and peace now in my conscience, doth God shine upon me? |
A30598 | have not you enough already? |
A30598 | have you suckt this sweetnesse from the Covenant and content to your hearts in your sad conditions? |
A30598 | how can I then be so much troubled for every little affliction? |
A30598 | how could I bear it? |
A30598 | how generally was it there in their Kingdom, and shall it be acknowledged they are loving subjects doing so much, and we be accounted Rebels? |
A30598 | how know I, but that God may have glorious ends, to work out of these extremities and troubles I am in? |
A30598 | how much of his spirit have I upon me that can find no rest at all? |
A30598 | how? |
A30598 | if Christ could bear it, why mayest not thou come to bear it? |
A30598 | is God about to break my heart, and to bring my heart down to him? |
A30598 | is it not lawful to avoid danger and to fly? |
A30598 | is it through the strength of his patience? |
A30598 | is this thy help? |
A30598 | it''s a speech of Jonadab to Amnon, Why art thou, being the Kings Son, lean from day to day, wilt thou not tell me? |
A30598 | let me prepare my self for imprisonment? |
A30598 | must men keep their stations? |
A30598 | must you of necessity go among them? |
A30598 | nay, have we done so much in our cause, as they have done? |
A30598 | not only for my nourishment, but for my delight; what am I then in respect of the infinit God? |
A30598 | now thou hast them, Is not there enough in them to quiet thy heart for some privat trouble thou meetest withall in thy family? |
A30598 | one married to Jesus Christ& yet troubled and discontented? |
A30598 | or your children, Do you deserve it that you are so eager upon it? |
A30598 | perhaps such an affliction is upon you, and it seems to be grievous for the present, what? |
A30598 | speaking of riches; Why blessed God dost not thou do so? |
A30598 | such a perplexity as we are now in? |
A30598 | such comforts as thou murmurest for want of; hath not God given thee his Son? |
A30598 | the son of a King, shal he have every base fellow to come and bid him bow down that he may tread upon his neck? |
A30598 | then consider, consider what? |
A30598 | then in this thou hast an opportunity to honour God more than others; so thou shouldest consider, Doth God afflict me more than other men? |
A30598 | then you would be content, why? |
A30598 | thou murmer? |
A30598 | was it not that thou mightest walk with God in the place that God had set thee? |
A30598 | was the creature any other to thee but a Conduit, a pipe that did convey Gods goodnesse to thee? |
A30598 | we will be more beleeving, and trust in God, and not be afraid, have we not a good cause, and is not God with us? |
A30598 | were they worth having if we return to our bondage again? |
A30598 | what abundance of honour I might have brought to the Name of God? |
A30598 | what can I think now, are those duties that God requires of me in the condition that he hath now put me into? |
A30598 | what canst thou do by thy faith? |
A30598 | what did I ever promise thee,( saith he) that thou shouldest ever flourish in the world? |
A30598 | what had they done? |
A30598 | what hath God given you such things, and yet will you be murmuring, because you can not have more? |
A30598 | what is the health of a mans soul? |
A30598 | what know I what God may call me to? |
A30598 | what talk you of Salvation( might they say to Moses) when there is nothing but distruction before us? |
A30598 | what unthankfulnesse is here? |
A30598 | what unwise course do I take? |
A30598 | what''s the matter? |
A30598 | what? |
A30598 | when Moses came to tell them of their deliverance, the text saith, He spake to the Children of Israel, but they hearkned not to him: why? |
A30598 | when they come in straights, how must their hearts sink in horror, because all their straights are no other, but the beginning of eternal straights? |
A30598 | where''s the strengthening with all might, unto all long- suffering and patience and that with joyfulnesse? |
A30598 | wherefore do you tempt the Lord? |
A30598 | while I have this let me prepare for Gods withdrawing from me: am I delivered from temptations? |
A30598 | who is this? |
A30598 | why art thou discontented and murmuring? |
A30598 | why should I not give up my self to God, to have his will upon me? |
A30598 | why should I stand much upon it to be troubled and discontented if I have not this and that, when the truth is I can do nothing? |
A30598 | why should any creature be servicable to thee, who art so little servicable to God? |
A30598 | why should not I yeild to Gods providential will as well as to his commanding will? |
A30598 | why shouldest thou be discontented the more because God is gracious to others? |
A30598 | why were they so long in the wildernesse? |
A30598 | will God have regard to such a one that is in such a poor low place as I am? |
A30598 | wilt thou rise in a way of Rebellion against the infinite God? |
A30598 | wilt thou therefore depart from God too? |
A67760 | & c. What shall become of him that takes away other mens, that robs the poore, turns them out of their own house, and casts them into prison? |
A67760 | 18. but how do we so, if we take not care for them, as we do for our selves? |
A67760 | A friend of his noting it, askt him what might be the reason? |
A67760 | Again, Is there any place so safe as Heaven? |
A67760 | Again, It''s impossible that he who hath love should be ungratefull? |
A67760 | Again, Was not the Gospel written a ● wel to the married, as unmarried? |
A67760 | Am I the first that have sinned? |
A67760 | And Lot& Corunelius? |
A67760 | And O man, what is God that thou art so unmindfull of him? |
A67760 | And again, How sweet are thy words unto my mouth? |
A67760 | And again, being diseased in his feet, it is said, That he sought not to the Lord, but to the Physicians; and what follows? |
A67760 | And can we thinke to keep our riches, by disobeying his commandment? |
A67760 | And certainly if we can not trust him for our bodies; how do we, or how can we trust him with our souls? |
A67760 | And do they assure us of our future reward; and fruition of God''s presence hereafter? |
A67760 | And how wilt thou fare? |
A67760 | And how would God bless us in our souls, bodies, names, estates and posterities? |
A67760 | And indeed what can be a more forcible reason to make our hearts relent, though they be never so stony? |
A67760 | And is there any pain, like the separation from Christ, into everlasting and ever- flaming fire? |
A67760 | And is there such a necessity of shewing mercy to the poor members of Jesus Christ? |
A67760 | And shall we be such Atheists, as to trust the ground, and not God? |
A67760 | And that it is not so much given, as laid up? |
A67760 | And then conclude with, What shall I render unto thee, O Lord, for all these thy benefits? |
A67760 | And thou his Servant by all manner of obligations? |
A67760 | And were it not better then, to prevent a mischief before, then repent you did not when''t is too late? |
A67760 | And what availeth the one without the other? |
A67760 | And what saith holy David; a man of a most brave and divine spirit? |
A67760 | And who knows whether God hath nor put me upon this work, and will accordingly blesse the meanes that shall be used? |
A67760 | And who then that believes this, would not think himself happy in such an exchange? |
A67760 | Are they evident signs of saving Graces? |
A67760 | Are we no less beholding to the poor, then they are to us? |
A67760 | As Rachab, Gaius, Job, The Centurian, Boas, Cornelius, and Mery: as how did our Saviour value and honour Maries bounty? |
A67760 | As how do their hearts droop with their mammon? |
A67760 | As how is Abraham commended for his hospitality, and almes- deeds? |
A67760 | As how will it one day grieve these griping Ingrossers, and Oppressors? |
A67760 | As maist not thou thy self be in affliction or want? |
A67760 | As thus: Would you quiet your clamorous conscience, that will not be friends with you, unlesse you be friends with God? |
A67760 | As what Husbandman does not reckon more of his seed in the ground, then of that in his Barn or Garner? |
A67760 | As what canst thou say against it? |
A67760 | As what gained Balaam, or Judas, or Ahab, or Achan, or Ananias and ● aphira? |
A67760 | As what saith holy David? |
A67760 | As what saith the Holy Ghost? |
A67760 | As what says Saint Paul? |
A67760 | As you see the wicked, because they apply their hearts to wickednesse, how fast they proceed? |
A67760 | Behold thou hast been carefull for us( sayes Elisha to the Shun ● mite,) with all this care: what is to be done for thee? |
A67760 | Besides, how can men partake of that fountain of joy, and rejoyce not? |
A67760 | But Fourthly; Does any one desire or glory in Liberty? |
A67760 | But alas, how many are there that set the cart before the horse, and begin to change their lives, before their hearts? |
A67760 | But aske his conscience the next question; What good hast thou done for his sake? |
A67760 | But how can I speak, whenas my Tongue is tyed? |
A67760 | But if giving might not properly be called gaining, why is it compated to sowing? |
A67760 | But shall I shew you in some Particulars, how gainfull and profitable it is? |
A67760 | But thou wilt say, What can we do for God; or for Christ? |
A67760 | But what a fearful reckoning have these men to make at the day of Judgement, when they give in their accounts unto God? |
A67760 | But what a strange folly is this? |
A67760 | But what do I speak of his being liberall or the approach of Death? |
A67760 | But who will sow those barren Sands, where they are not only without all hope of a good Harvest, but are sure to loose their Seed and Labour? |
A67760 | But wilt thou prove thy self wise? |
A67760 | But you will aske me, from what must we save? |
A67760 | Can the Sun receive light from a candle? |
A67760 | Christians should be like Christ: but how unlike to him are these men? |
A67760 | Do we enjoy all things through Gods blessing? |
A67760 | Do''st thou not know, that with what measure thou metest to others here, God will measure to thee again hereafter? |
A67760 | Dost thou then love thy mony? |
A67760 | Even every sin; for what sin should be so dear to us, as Gods only Son was to him? |
A67760 | First he learnt godlinesse, then godlinesse taught him contentation; and is there any satisfaction like content? |
A67760 | First, Does any man desire or glory in Knowledge? |
A67760 | For did God and Christ, do all this for us? |
A67760 | For if for one sin at the first, God plagued a world of men; how will he plague one man for a world of sin? |
A67760 | For in reason hath he contrived so many waies to save us; and should not we take all occasions to glorifie him? |
A67760 | For what shall it profit a man? |
A67760 | Fourthly, Hath Christ done all this for us, his servants, so much, and so many waies obliged unto him? |
A67760 | God hath said it, and they shall finde it: And what is it to flourish for a time, and perish for ever? |
A67760 | Hast thou not all outward comforts, presenting themselves and their service to thee in great aboundance? |
A67760 | Hath God given thee all things, and dost thou then thinke it a great matter to give him back something? |
A67760 | Hath he done so much for us, and shall we deny him any thing that he requireth of us, though it were our lives, yea our souls; much more our lusts? |
A67760 | Hath he promised to bless the merciful man in his temporal, civil, spiritual, and eternal estate? |
A67760 | He is gracious and full of compassion, he sheweth favour and lendeth, he hath given to the poore,& c. And what shall be his reward? |
A67760 | How hast thou pierced my breast with thy poysoned Dart? |
A67760 | How long shall thy wicked thoughts remain with thee? |
A67760 | How many ruffle it in silke, 〈 ◊ 〉 that are scarce able to pay for wool? |
A67760 | How should it not whet them on, and make them put the same in practise? |
A67760 | I am becom partaker with the Rich Man in his Condemnation, and scorching flames in the horrible pit? |
A67760 | I have been young, and now am old, y ● have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread: and why so? |
A67760 | I will turn my talk to God: Why hast thou lift me up, and cast me down? |
A67760 | I would fain know, whether this be not thy case, that art an unmercifull rich man? |
A67760 | If he still enjoyes his wealth, together with his life for many yeares, yet what will it profit him when sicknesse comes? |
A67760 | If we be righteous, our righteousnesse may profit the sonnes of men; but what can we give unto him? |
A67760 | If you ask David Who are blessed? |
A67760 | If you ask Esay, Who are blessed? |
A67760 | If you ask Solomon, Who are blessed? |
A67760 | If you ask St. James, Who are blessed? |
A67760 | If you ask an Angel, who are blessed? |
A67760 | If you ask him again, Who are blessed? |
A67760 | Is he thy Lord by a manifold Right? |
A67760 | Is it the most certain and infallible way never to want? |
A67760 | Is not this the best Chimistry to turn Earth into Heaven? |
A67760 | Is our Jonathan gone? |
A67760 | Is sparing in this case, the worst thrift? |
A67760 | Is there no such way to grow rich, as by being bountiful to the poor? |
A67760 | Lastly, For conclusion of this point, Wouldst thou be a contented and Happy man? |
A67760 | Now if grace and Gods favour, brings such peace and joy: what fools are sinners? |
A67760 | Now what better inheritance can we leave to our Children, then the blessing of God? |
A67760 | Now what heart would not bleed to see men, yea multitudes run headlong into these tortures, that are thus intolerable? |
A67760 | Now, do we love Christ? |
A67760 | O Satan, how hast thou wounded me? |
A67760 | O how many great streams of Lamentation and tears will wash away and purge mine humble heart? |
A67760 | O thou Devil, what hast thou done unto me? |
A67760 | Objection: But will some say, How shall we obtain this happy condition? |
A67760 | Of Lot''s sons in Law, that counted their Fathers fore- warnings a meer mockage? |
A67760 | Of the rich Glutton, that made no more reckoning of Moses and the Prophets? |
A67760 | Or Fifthly, Is it safety from fear and danger, that a man wishes for or desires? |
A67760 | Or am I the first that fell? |
A67760 | Or can you put it into a better and safer hand, then into the hands of God himself? |
A67760 | Or do we desire to do something again for Christ, who hath done and suffered so much for us? |
A67760 | Or if not for their soules, yet for thine owne: For why shouldest thou love thy children better then thine owne person? |
A67760 | Or like Cardan Doctor of Physick in Rome, who when Out- landish Schollars came to him, would answer them, What have I to do with Forraigners? |
A67760 | Or that God will regard and feed thy Children, who hast neglected his, and suffered them to pine and perish for want of Relief? |
A67760 | Or, commend thy pity? |
A67760 | Or, extol thy praise? |
A67760 | Salvation by Christ? |
A67760 | Secondly, Does any man desire, or glory in Honour and Nobility? |
A67760 | Seventhly, Wouldest thou with all these, have all peace and joy? |
A67760 | Shal we have the benefit of their prayers, and their loins to bless us? |
A67760 | Shall God have glory by it? |
A67760 | Shall the merciful be rewarded with illumination and conversion? |
A67760 | Shall they have cause to pray for, and praise God for us? |
A67760 | Shall they thereby be the better able to serve God in their several stations? |
A67760 | Sixthly art thou but a Steward put in trust? |

A95727 | or of heaven, without fruit? |
A95727 | or ruled by him whom he takes to be a Tyrant, or one that loves to take upon him? |
A95727 | or the Church( whereof they are Members, and with which they are to communicate) be so well satisfied? |
A95727 | or, How can they look to enjoy God without Prayer? |
A95727 | or, When is this Knowledge to be communicated? |
A95727 | or, Whence ariseth our miserable fall? |
A95727 | so, Have I given thee six dayes to work for thy self, and canst thou not rest with me one day d? |
A95727 | so, out of such sowre Sabbath- strictness? |
A95727 | the God of thy Father,( if he ask, Is that all? |
A95727 | their next word,( wherein they explain themselves) is, And what profit shall we have, if we pray unto him? |
A95727 | what need therefore of preparation? |
A95727 | wherein, if we set aside the general sayings and declarations of the Word, it will be hard for Ministers to know what to say? |
A95727 | with a perfect heart and willing mind;( If he ask, Why with such a heart and mind? |
A95727 | yea, or of any Adversaries, that sings well the forty six, and seventy six, Psalms? |
A44683 | ( How much more might it be said of all its inward parts?) |
A44683 | An enquiry whether it be possible the Creature can be actually infinite? |
A44683 | An& mundum fecit,& in mundo homines ut ab hominibus coleretur? |
A44683 | And I may add, when those appear but points, in comparison of his so much vaster work, how plainly doth that also argue to us the same thing? |
A44683 | And are not the Atheists Cavils as despicably silly against the Deity, and( consequently) Religion? |
A44683 | And as concerning the name, who made them dictators to all the world? |
A44683 | And besides, is that power somewhat or nothing? |
A44683 | And bethink our selves: But how came he to exist and be what he is? |
A44683 | And consequently that it is simply the most perfect? |
A44683 | And converse with that his creature sutably to the way wherein he hath made it capable of his converse? |
A44683 | And for the former, I would enquire; Is amplitude of essence no perfection? |
A44683 | And having done so, why might they not keep together? |
A44683 | And his power over me, and his goodness to me, are hereby supposed the same, which the only one God, truly hath and exerciseth towards all? |
A44683 | And how do we think to descry that, here, which may answer this common notion we have of a man? |
A44683 | And how grateful herein, and meritorious often are the assistent railleries of servile( and it may be mercenary) wits? |
A44683 | And however, wherein do we find a flame of fire more rational than a piece of ice? |
A44683 | And if none of these can be supposed; what doth their association signifie towards ratiocination? |
A44683 | And if one should give this account of the production of such a trifle, would he not be thought in jest? |
A44683 | And if some power be some being, what then is infinite power, is not that infinite being? |
A44683 | And if such means as these that have been mentioned should be thought necessary, I would ask, are they necessary to every individval person? |
A44683 | And if this were barely possible, how little doth that signifie? |
A44683 | And in another way than that of generation, how will any go about to make a soul? |
A44683 | And is he not perfectly blind, that sees not what violence is done to free reason in this matter? |
A44683 | And is not that capacity of the soul of man a real something? |
A44683 | And is the want of that the total sum of the Atheists misery at this hour? |
A44683 | And is there any comparison between that temporary transient occasional, and this steady permanent and universal discovery of God? |
A44683 | And no real Being is supposed besides? |
A44683 | And since many, we are sure, have thought and spoken unworthily of God, besides Epicureans, are all these to go into the account of Atheists? |
A44683 | And since they are suppos''d to be so much alike, how are the Mathematical Atoms to be distinguished from the Moral? |
A44683 | And suppose they had the free grant of all the matter between the crown of their head and the Moon, could they tell what to do with it? |
A44683 | And that all mankind, besides themselves, were enslaved fools? |
A44683 | And the disposing this great variety of particular Beings in it, into so exact and elegant an order? |
A44683 | And the sustaining and preserving it in the same state through so many ages? |
A44683 | And then how is it all things, when so great a number of things will be left excluded? |
A44683 | And then it being, however, still, but somewhat that is created or made, how can its Maker but be infinite? |
A44683 | And then to what purpose doth the discovery and acknowledgment of the Deity serve? |
A44683 | And then what rational inducement is wanting to Religion and the Dedication of a Temple? |
A44683 | And therefore by parity of reasons, why should not infinite being exclude finite?] |
A44683 | And what Miracles did he ever work to confirm the truth of his Doctrine in this matter? |
A44683 | And what doth most simple infiniteness import, but to have nothing for a boundary, or( which is the same) not to be bounded at all? |
A44683 | And what have Atheists whereof to glory? |
A44683 | And what if some one pair or other of these parts had been universally wanting? |
A44683 | And what if the composure of the body be so apt and useful, so excellent in its own kind; Is it so in every kind, or to all imaginable purposes? |
A44683 | And what if there be divers of them together? |
A44683 | And what is the capacity but a power that should sometime be reduced into act, and arrive to the exercise of reason it self? |
A44683 | And what is[ infinite,] but[ that which can never be travell''d through] or whereof no end can be ever arriv''d unto? |
A44683 | And what mortal man that hath reason enough about him to be serious, and to think a while, would not even be amaz''d at the Miracle of Nutrition? |
A44683 | And what other way can be devised? |
A44683 | And what place is there for complaint of inevidence in the latter? |
A44683 | And what shall they be? |
A44683 | And what should be the worshiper when our souls are thought the same thing with what should be the object of our worship? |
A44683 | And what should their reward be, when the natural tendency of their undertaking is to exclude themselves from the expectation of any in another world? |
A44683 | And what then, if we Jay aside that supposition( which only somewhat gratifies fancy and imagination) doth that alter the case? |
A44683 | And what then? |
A44683 | And what will they expect in this from them whose Temples and Altars they go about to subvert? |
A44683 | And what, doth it seem likely then that infinite being and power can therefore do just nothing? |
A44683 | And when they have fancied these to exist, is not that a mighty proof that they indeed do so? |
A44683 | And where is that Revelation? |
A44683 | And where is the flaw? |
A44683 | And whether there be not an incomparably greater number of most wild and arbitrary suppositions, in their fiction, than in this? |
A44683 | And who can number the instances that might be given besides? |
A44683 | And who was, therefore ever heard of, that did not acknowledge some or other infinite? |
A44683 | And who would not wish to live? |
A44683 | And why may not this be thought supposable? |
A44683 | And why must we so difference the object of omnisciency and omnipotency? |
A44683 | And why should not that be understood to signifie the knowledge of simply all things; as well as this the power of doing simply all things? |
A44683 | And will not that be the case if we suppose future contingencies to lie conceal''d from the penetrating eye of God? |
A44683 | And with as little prejudice to his felicity? |
A44683 | And, first, for the universality of it, why may we not suppose it already sufficiently universal? |
A44683 | Are they not to use their very senses about the matters of Religion? |
A44683 | Are we hence to expect Oracles, philosophical Determinations? |
A44683 | Are we not here infinitely out- done? |
A44683 | Are we yet any nearer our purpose? |
A44683 | Art thou not wishing thy self and all things into nothing? |
A44683 | As for instance, how comes it to pass that the several parts which we find to be double in our bodies, are not single only? |
A44683 | At quid Deo cultus hominum confert, beato,& nulla re indigenti? |
A44683 | At quomodo in his loquitur? |
A44683 | But besides, and more generally what proportion is there between a thought, and the motion of an Atom? |
A44683 | But by what right do they affix such an Idea to their petite and fictitious Deities? |
A44683 | But can that which is nothing do any thing? |
A44683 | But can you ever prove the Maker of the world had so? |
A44683 | But do we need to insist that all the rest of the world acknowledged no Gods, whom they did not also worship? |
A44683 | But here it may be demanded, is every misapprehension of God to be understood as a denial of his Being? |
A44683 | But how can every one have one before it? |
A44683 | But how shall they argue so, who while they acknowledge a God, deny man to be his creature? |
A44683 | But how wild an imagination were that of a finite being that were of infinite power? |
A44683 | But however I would demand of such as make this exception, whether they think there be any effect at all, to which a designing cause was necessary? |
A44683 | But if he persist and solemnly profess that thus he takes it to have been, would he not be thought in good earnest mad? |
A44683 | But if it be denied, what shall the pretence be? |
A44683 | But if it be not known, how can they tell but their distinguishing members are co- incident, and run into one? |
A44683 | But is it necessary this course shall be taken to make the world know there is a God? |
A44683 | But is plainly denied to be from him, whose being they would argue from it? |
A44683 | But shall it be said, he must in order to the creating such another world, locally move thither where he designs it? |
A44683 | But that because a straw lies in my way, I would attempt to overturn heaven and earth, what raging phrensie is this? |
A44683 | But there is nothing in matters of this nature, more strange than in the structure of the leg of a Flea? |
A44683 | But to regress a little, fain I would know what is this thing they call nature? |
A44683 | But what can our reason either direct, or endure, that we should so uncongruously misplace so magnificent attributes as these? |
A44683 | But what cause can( or ever did) he or his followers assign of God? |
A44683 | But what, his power without his being? |
A44683 | But what, therefore, is power the less for being infinite? |
A44683 | But what? |
A44683 | But what? |
A44683 | But why do they the more conveniently associate upon that account for this purpose? |
A44683 | But would strange and wonderful effects that might surprise and amaze you do the business? |
A44683 | But would we ever regard what they say whom we believe to speak by chance? |
A44683 | But yet, may not much be attributed to the convenient and well fenced cavity of the brains receptacle, or the more secret chambers within that? |
A44683 | By what art would they make a seed? |
A44683 | By what power, or by what art will they make a reasonable soul spring up out of nothing? |
A44683 | Can Subjects, remote from their Prince, sufficiently be assured of his existence? |
A44683 | Can we be sure there are men on earth? |
A44683 | Concerning which soul afterwards enquiring whether all ought not to account it God? |
A44683 | Did that cause other things to be? |
A44683 | Did this intelligent nature proceed from an unintelligent, as the whole and only cause of it? |
A44683 | Do these small threds sentire? |
A44683 | Do they need to be pent in? |
A44683 | Do they think it an easie enterprize? |
A44683 | Doth it signifie any thing, or is it of any value to the purpose for which it is alledg''d? |
A44683 | Doth this cause stand and fall with you? |
A44683 | Doth this temper so much befriend the exercise of Reason? |
A44683 | Either by detracting somewhat that belongs to it, or attributing somewhat that belongs not? |
A44683 | For hath every soul that hath ever existed or been in being been produced in this way by another? |
A44683 | For how impossible is it to be sure we have no untrue conception of a Being so infinitely, by our own confession, above all our thoughts? |
A44683 | For if there be no God, what am I? |
A44683 | For is it a necessary being? |
A44683 | For of what pre- existent substance are they made? |
A44683 | For since our knowledge of God ought chiefly to respect him in that forementioned relative consideration, and the enquiry what is God? |
A44683 | For taking notice of the existence of any thing whatsoever, some reason must be assignable, whence it is that this particular Being doth exist? |
A44683 | For then how can there be any finite? |
A44683 | For then there will be one without the compass of every one, And how is it then said to be every one? |
A44683 | For was the contrivance of these machines theirs? |
A44683 | For what can be at a greater, than that which is necessarily? |
A44683 | For what can be plainer than that, if all being sometime was not, and now some being is, every thing of being had a beginning? |
A44683 | For what can be the undertakers hope, either of success or reward? |
A44683 | For what can the pretence of evidence be in the former assertion? |
A44683 | For what can this signifie? |
A44683 | For what do they find here that can thus beyond all expectation improve them to so high an excellency? |
A44683 | For what else is left us to say or think? |
A44683 | For what is there to be said for their hypothesis, or against the existence of God, and the duness of Religion? |
A44683 | For what ways of proving it can be thought of, which the supposition it self doth not forbid, and reject? |
A44683 | For whence should it receive any accession to it self when it is supposed equally independent upon its fellows, as any of them upon it? |
A44683 | For which way would they go to work? |
A44683 | For who did ever, in that case, say the parents were the productive causes of that learning? |
A44683 | For who fees not that it is a matter of no greater difficulto converse with, than to make a reasonable creature? |
A44683 | For why will they acknowledge any necessary Being at all, that was ever of it self? |
A44683 | For, if it be said having nothing else to communicate, they communicate themselves, but what is that self? |
A44683 | For, since there can be no Wisdom, Power, or Goodness, which is not either original and self- essentiate, or derived and participated from thence? |
A44683 | Frequent? |
A44683 | Had not the whole frame of man besides been in vain? |
A44683 | Have we any way, besides that discovery, which the acts and effects of reason do make of a rational or intelligent Being? |
A44683 | How are they pent in whilst in the body? |
A44683 | How are they to be rang''d when for the affirmative? |
A44683 | How far have all attempted imitations in this kind fallen short of this perfection? |
A44683 | How great a misery had it inferr''d upon mankind? |
A44683 | How little would that contribute to pious and devout converses with God, that should certainly keep mens minds in a continual commotion and hurry? |
A44683 | How most commodiously all things are ordered in it? |
A44683 | How much greater and more absolute is the right which the parentage of our whole being challenges? |
A44683 | How should we even over- do the present business? |
A44683 | How were these thoughts in his mind? |
A44683 | How will they prove their Idea true? |
A44683 | I ask then, but can he not at the same time create thousands of worlds at any distance from this round about it? |
A44683 | I would here enquire why do you so pronounce? |
A44683 | If all that I am and have be from him, I can not surely owe to him less than all? |
A44683 | If every one could bring somewhat to a common stock, that might be serviceable to that purpose; how shall each ones proportion or share be imparted? |
A44683 | If so, whom can we undertake to assoil of Atheism? |
A44683 | If there be such advantage, why can it not be understood? |
A44683 | If they had taken one of these, to be their alone Creator, how much greater had their veneration and their homage been? |
A44683 | If this bespeak not an intelligent Agent, what doth? |
A44683 | If we consider the joynt encouragement that arises from so unlimited power and goodness? |
A44683 | If yea, whence came this impression, but from God himself? |
A44683 | Into what can we devise to resolve it? |
A44683 | Is it a created Being? |
A44683 | Is it any intelligent principle? |
A44683 | Is it flesh, or bloud, or bones that puts this stamp upon them? |
A44683 | Is it needful they be universal? |
A44683 | Is it not because they can not otherwise for their hearts tell how it was ever possible that any thing at all could come into being? |
A44683 | Is it not plain that he can with the same facility, continue the influence which he at first gave forth? |
A44683 | Is it that we think that can be less true now which was so gloriously evident to be true four thousand years ago? |
A44683 | Is it their peculiar magnitude or size that so far ennobles them? |
A44683 | Is it to be proved by Revelation? |
A44683 | Is it to exclude a necessary self- active being? |
A44683 | Is it written or unwritten? |
A44683 | Is there therefore nothing more of existent Being than there was before this production? |
A44683 | It is then some Being, and whose Being is it but his own? |
A44683 | It may possibly be here said in short; But what have we all this while been doing? |
A44683 | Knowable? |
A44683 | Many sorts of rare engines we acknowledge contrived by the wit of man, but who hath ever made one that could grow? |
A44683 | Maxims of State? |
A44683 | May we not now hope to have a rational sort of people among them, that is, those of the peculiar family or tribe? |
A44683 | Nay, if a thousand men were askt the same question, they would as undoubtingly say the same thing? |
A44683 | Now here I would further demand, is there any thing in this reason yea or no? |
A44683 | Now if such a continual iteration of these strange things were thought necessary, would they not hereby soon cease to be strange? |
A44683 | Now was it possible any thing should give that power that had it not any way? |
A44683 | Now, that we may proceed, what can felfessentiate, underived, Power, Wisdom, Goodness be, but most perfect Power, Wisdom, Goodness? |
A44683 | Or do they expect to find men indifferent in a matter that concerns their common Practice and Hope? |
A44683 | Or from effects? |
A44683 | Or how is it to be avoided, in somewhat or other to think amiss of so unknown and incomprehensibly excellent a Being? |
A44683 | Or is it imaginable it should never have met with contradiction? |
A44683 | Or is it that we can dis- believe or doubt the truth of the History? |
A44683 | Or is it the best way of making use of what God hath revealed of himself, by whatsoever means, not to understand what he hath revealed? |
A44683 | Or no tie unto love, reverence, obedience, and adoration, because the Author of my being comprehended not in himself all perfection? |
A44683 | Or shall it be said that the infiniteness of power is no hinderance but the infiniteness of Being? |
A44683 | Or some other? |
A44683 | Or such as than which there can never be more perfect? |
A44683 | Or that any creature is so perfect as that none can be made more perfect? |
A44683 | Or was it guided by any such? |
A44683 | Or who are its vouchers? |
A44683 | Or will we adventure to be so assuming, as while we deny it to God that he knows all things, to attribute to our selves that we do? |
A44683 | Or with what right or pretence will they assume so much to themselves? |
A44683 | Or would it be thought a reasonable excuse of disloyalty, that any such persons should say they had never seen the King or his Court? |
A44683 | Quis cnim non timeat omnia providentem,& cogitantem,& animadvertentem,& omnia ad se pertinere putantem, curiosum& plenum negotii Deum? |
A44683 | So much would plainly conclude the sum of what we have been pleading for; and what can be plainer or doth require a shorter turn of thoughts? |
A44683 | So that here all will be summ''d up in this enquiry, whether Reason can agree to matter? |
A44683 | Somewhat or other there must be that when he is askt, is this the effect of skill? |
A44683 | That is to make any nourishable thing? |
A44683 | That it neither rises from nor is meer matter; whence it will be consequent it must have an efficient divers from matter? |
A44683 | That none of the pretended by- standers should disclaim the avouchment of it? |
A44683 | That the hand is divided into fingers? |
A44683 | That there is such variety and curiosity in the ways of joyning the bones together in that and other parts of the body? |
A44683 | That what can do nothing, can no more be the productive cause of another, than that which is nothing? |
A44683 | The refusal whereof, even Barbarian ingenuity would abhor, yea and brutal instinct condemn? |
A44683 | Theirs who beget them? |
A44683 | They are light, doth that mend the matter? |
A44683 | They are little, what doth that contribute? |
A44683 | They should therefore consider who gave them the understandings which they fear to use? |
A44683 | This signifies somewhat towards the keeping of state, but what doth it to the exercise of reason? |
A44683 | This therefore is our present theme, whether such things as these be capable of such, or any acts of reason yea or no? |
A44683 | This, rather than humble thy self, and beg forgiveness? |
A44683 | Upon what authority doth it rest? |
A44683 | Was all this without design? |
A44683 | We say, is it conceivable that mans knowing power should proceed from a cause that hath it not, in the same, or this more perfect kind? |
A44683 | What else but proud ignorance can hinder us from seeing that the more we know, the more there is that we know not? |
A44683 | What is this but to deny in particular what they granted in general? |
A44683 | What is this world( if we should suppose it still to subsist) without God? |
A44683 | What machine did ever man invent that had this power? |
A44683 | What so odd and uncouth composition can we form any conception of which we may not make exist at this rate? |
A44683 | What would the joy be worth in that hour, that arises from the hope of the glory to be revealed? |
A44683 | What would we think of such an appearance of God as that was upon Mount Sinai? |
A44683 | What( to instance in what seems so small a matter) if that little cover had been wanting at the entrance of that passage through which we breath? |
A44683 | What? |
A44683 | Whence it is that there are so unquestionable common notions every where received? |
A44683 | Wherefore if you ask, why can the work of making created being infinite never be done? |
A44683 | Wherefore there is no inconsistency between the infinite and finite beings? |
A44683 | Wherein then lies the great advantage these Atoms have by being in the body to their commencing rational? |
A44683 | Wherein were his Laws unequal? |
A44683 | Which though a well habited body( while the soul remains in this imprison''d state) do less hinder, yet how doth it help? |
A44683 | Who can say or think, when there can be so many sorts of creatures produced( or at least individuals of those sorts) that there can be no more? |
A44683 | Why are they in a state which they dislike? |
A44683 | Why not of omniscience as well? |
A44683 | Will we appeal to our faculties, to our reason it self? |
A44683 | Will we say such a Being, if he did actually exist, might ascertain us of his existence by some powerful impression of that truth upon our minds? |
A44683 | Will we say that meer humane shape is enough to prove such a one a man? |
A44683 | Will you say some kind of very glorious apparitions, becoming the majesty of such a one as this Being is represented, would have satisfied? |
A44683 | Would dreadful loud voices proclaiming him to be of whose existence you doubt have serv''d the turn? |
A44683 | Would it not rather have been pretended done in a corner? |
A44683 | Would they not presently, and with great amazement, confess an intelligent contriver and maker of this whole frame, above a Posidonius, or any mortal? |
A44683 | Would they not with the same impudence as you now do, say that all Religion were nothing else but Enthusiastical Fanaticism? |
A44683 | Yea, and what then? |
A44683 | Yea, but you must have pre- existent matter? |
A44683 | Yea, if he were only the entire Author of our own particular Being, how much more is that then the partial subordinate interest of an humane Parent? |
A44683 | Yea, or will tht once seeing, hearing, or feeling them suffice? |
A44683 | Yes, these are things that have( some way or other) the power of motion; and what can they effect by that? |
A44683 | Yet if that were admitted possible what will it avail? |
A44683 | Yet which of these is most subservient unto sense? |
A44683 | [ that an infinite body would exclude a finite; for where should the finite be when the infinite should fill up all space? |
A44683 | ad Pyth ● ci — Quae molitio, quae ferramenta, qui vectes, quae machinae, qui ministri tanti muneris fuerunt? |
A44683 | and ascribe the prime glory of the most excellent Being, unto that which is next to nothing? |
A44683 | and enable him sufficiently to reward it? |
A44683 | and hath such and such powers and properties belonging to it, as do occur to our notice therein? |
A44683 | and into what for another? |
A44683 | and is it only a casualty that it is not so? |
A44683 | and raze out impressions renew''d and transmitted through so many ages? |
A44683 | and say they knew of no such matter? |
A44683 | and that a few quirks of malapert wit will serve the turn to baffle the Deity into nothing? |
A44683 | and the sole judges of the propriety of words? |
A44683 | and these very notions which he opposes to each other, so as not to be confounded with his mind, and consequently with one another? |
A44683 | and to escape so unsupportable revenge? |
A44683 | and to trifle instead of giving a reason why things are so and so? |
A44683 | and unteach the world Religion? |
A44683 | and which may cut off all fear and danger of future calamity in this dark unknown state I am going into? |
A44683 | and which way would they inspire it with a seminal form? |
A44683 | and whither else will we? |
A44683 | and will have him and all things be by chance, or without dependence on any Maker? |
A44683 | are these the things that ultimately receive and discern the various impressions of objects? |

A04391 | Luke 11. then where is his honor? |
A04391 | May hee raise a name by women inheritors, and may hee not change the name againe when hee seeth good, by giuing a daughter and no Sonne? |
A04391 | Moreouer, where didst thou volly out thy broken sighes for thy Sodomitish and crying sinnes? |
A04391 | Must body and soule meete together, and eyther be blessed together, or else for euer burne together after their departure? |
A04391 | Naturall, instance in some: doth not fond lust cause dry bones? |
A04391 | Nay, doe they beleeue Experience, that in euery Garden, Field, and Seede- plat shewes it? |
A04391 | Nay, doe they not returne to their former bias; Canis ad vomitum, like Dogges to their vomit againe, and Swine to their wallowing? |
A04391 | Nay, hee clothes the Lillies, and will hee not feede and clothes thee and thine, oh thou of little faith? |
A04391 | Nay, is it so, that thy death, and so the death of euery childe of GOD, is not onely fore- seene but fore- appointed of God? |
A04391 | Nay, is there not onus; as well as hono ●; a labour, as well as an honour in euery Calling? |
A04391 | Nay, to come nearer home: where are all our English Kings, that haue awfully swayed the Brittaine Scepter since the Conquest? |
A04391 | Ninthly, is not God very mercifull to many that dye of the Plague, that haue their senses and memories, till the last houre? |
A04391 | Nobilitie, what is it but an opinion, or lot of birth, being our Ancestors not ours, also oft vvrongfully acquired by oppression and crueltie? |
A04391 | Nonne fragiliores sumus, quam si v ● trei essem ● s? |
A04391 | Now apply this to thine owne particular: art not thou a Christian, so denominated of CHRIST? |
A04391 | Now canst thou finde in thy heart to entertaine and retaine that sin in thy soule, which hath killed all the Kings in Christendome? |
A04391 | Now consider with thy selfe, hath God a bottle for the teares of his Seruants? |
A04391 | Now if he doe this by a woman, why may hee not? |
A04391 | Now in these successiue ages, what is the latter alwayes saue the death of the former, as both Inchinus and Seneca haue wittily noted? |
A04391 | Now thou Nabal, thou foole, thou stony heart, what profit wilt thou haue in crying Lord, Lord? |
A04391 | Now where is the turning from sinne in such repenters? |
A04391 | Now, are any Parents sorie, when their Children, of Bond men, are infranchized; of Prentises, are made Freemen? |
A04391 | Now, how much is thy case better then theirs? |
A04391 | Now, what delight hath the beast, but in fayre feeding, and carnall companying, according to his kinde? |
A04391 | Now, what great harme is there in going to our friends? |
A04391 | Now, what mother grieues that her vnquiet childe sleepes and takes the rest? |
A04391 | Now, who is able to promote, if God doe not? |
A04391 | O Graue, where is thy victories? |
A04391 | Of Enuy, which frets the heart as the Moath the Garment, and eates into it, as the rust into the Iron? |
A04391 | Oh Atheisticall Sots, is there not a God in Israel? |
A04391 | Oh Death, how bitter art thou to a man whose portion is in the world? |
A04391 | Oh Iudah, how shall I intreate thee? |
A04391 | Oh how few number their dayes that they may apply their hearts vnto wisedome? |
A04391 | Oh how soone fruit perisheth? |
A04391 | Oh then how had euen the very Childe neede to prepare for his finall departure, since one part of his life is dead already, his Infancie? |
A04391 | Oh then, why shouldest thou feare thy freedome? |
A04391 | Peccatum omnes maiores tuos occidit,& tu fouis? |
A04391 | Qui se pascunt, non oues; that feede themselues of the flocke, but not the flocke, ouer which the holy Ghost hath made them Ouer- seers? |
A04391 | Quid superbis puluis& cinis? |
A04391 | Seauen times a day, with Dauid? |
A04391 | Seauenthly, did not Dauid desire this kinde of death, rather then eyther Famine or Warre? |
A04391 | Secondly, for the Magistrates: what are the aymes and ends of most of them? |
A04391 | Secondly, is life so laborious? |
A04391 | Secondly, is the Soule immortall and the Body mortall? |
A04391 | Secondly, suppose thou shouldest get help, it is by the Diuels meanes, and who vvould goe to such a filthy Physitian? |
A04391 | Secondly, was not Enoch translated that he should not see death? |
A04391 | Shall it grieue vs to returne to God? |
A04391 | Shall wee then with our light feare that, which they in their darknesse so little regarded? |
A04391 | Si in Ierusalem scrutinium, quid faciet Babilon? |
A04391 | Sin( saith one) hath slaine all thy Predecessors, and Ancestors, and wilt thou make much of it? |
A04391 | Sixtly, Lazarus dying was carryed into Abrahams bosome: what was carryed? |
A04391 | Sixtly, is it not a disease, though sharpe, yet short, and more tollerable then the Stone, Dropsie, Gout, Palsie, or the French disease? |
A04391 | The Swan is said to sing most sweetly when shee must die, and shall Gods Children weepe? |
A04391 | The diseases of the body? |
A04391 | The first is this: is it so that the Seruants of the Lord doe dye in peace? |
A04391 | The practise of the world is against both these rules: for alas, are there not many whose malice is( like coales of Iuniper) vnquenchable? |
A04391 | The vnchaste Eye that lusts after a woman, the window that lets lusts into the soule, were it not better pluckt out? |
A04391 | Then, if Iewes and Pagans mourne; why not Christians? |
A04391 | Therefore apply Dauids meditation, as balme to thine owne sore, in thy feares: and say to thy soule, Why art thou sad oh my Soule? |
A04391 | Therefore storme not, murmure not, hee hath sent it, and who hath resisted his will? |
A04391 | Thirdly, it curbes pride: Quid superbis puluis& cinis? |
A04391 | Thirdly, man is desirous of immortalitie: Now, how could hee desire it, and discusse of it? |
A04391 | Those whose feete are ready to shed bloud, swift to euill( as Hazael) speedy to runne to sinne; how good were it for them to be lame? |
A04391 | Those whose voyces commanded the Nations, are they now able to speake? |
A04391 | To discharge those dueties that the Word inioynes them? |
A04391 | Vertues, vices, pleasures, profits, riches, pouertie, vvanton youth, couetous old age, all haue their burthens? |
A04391 | Vse 1 Art thou a Minister? |
A04391 | Vse 2 Secondly, is it so, that death is by the permission of God? |

A65276 | This is to fill a precious Cabinet with dung; but, quàm facilis oblivio boni? |

A20202 | But from whence commeth it, that man of himselfe, that is, of his owne free motion, doth will that which is euill? |
A20202 | But how answer you this? |
A20202 | But how doe you prooue the decree of reprobation? |

A20202 | Doth he prouide for them which are not of the family,& will he not prouide for his owne family? |
A20202 | Doth he send his raine,& cause his Sunne to shine vpon the vniust, and shall he not vpon the iust? |
A20202 | Doth he suppose that I haue not a soule to saue as well as hee; or that I haue no care of my saluation? |
A20202 | Doth hée not say: Feare him all yee Saints; for nothing is wanting to them that feare him? |
A20202 | Doth hée not say: The Lions lacke, and suffer hunger; but they which seeke him, shall want nothing that is good? |
A20202 | Doth hée that highly commendeth gold, condemne siluer? |
A20202 | Doth not Iehouah say, I will nor leaue thee nor forsake thee? |
A20202 | Doth not S. Iohn saie; If wee say wee haue fellowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we are liers? |
A20202 | Doth not our heauenly Father know, wée haue néede of these things? |
A20202 | Doth not the Apostle Paul say; His seruants we are, to whom we obey; whether it be of sin, vnto death, or of obedience, vnto righteousnes? |
A20202 | Doth not the Scripture say, that the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Ioseph his sake? |
A20202 | Doth not the holy Ghost say: How shall wee escape if wee neglect so great saluation? |
A20202 | Doth not the knowledge of this doctrine discourage men from seeking after God? |
A20202 | Doth not the like cause, bring foorth the like effect? |
A20202 | Doth not the same Apostle auouch, that such as say they know God, and kéepe not his commandements, are liers? |
A20202 | Doth not the same cause bring forth the same effect? |
A20202 | Doth not the scripture say; Hee that doth righteousnesse, is righteous? |
A20202 | Doth not the seueritie of the punishments shew the greatnesse of the sinne? |
A20202 | Doth not this inundation and ouerflowing of sinne, with the impunity of the same, Prognosticate great wrath against vs? |
A20202 | Euen so, when wée doe clearely sée Sathan wound and murther thousand, thousands soules, is it not a farre more tragicall& lamentable sight? |
A20202 | First, then I demand of you, in what state all men are borne by nature? |
A20202 | For Quid prodest, si omnia habes, eum tamen, qui omnia dedit, non habere? |
A20202 | For can a father forsake his children? |
A20202 | For can a man touch pitch, and not be defiled therewith? |
A20202 | For can a mortall King endure the contempt of his lawes? |
A20202 | For did not churlish Laban fare the better for Iacob his kinsman? |
A20202 | For he loueth them, but for our sakes: how much more then doth he loue our selues? |
A20202 | For he saith, Can the blacke More change his skinne, or the Leopard his spots? |
A20202 | For how can I driue you from Christ, seeing you neuer came néere him? |
A20202 | For how can bread, being a dead thing, and hauing no life in it selfe, giue life to others? |
A20202 | For how dieth the wise man? |
A20202 | For how else should pride be mainteined? |
A20202 | For how know you that? |
A20202 | For hée saith: How can they heare, without a Preacher? |
A20202 | For if God indeed be our Father, and we his children, how can we perish? |
A20202 | For if God spared not the Angels that sinned, how shall he spare vs? |
A20202 | For if he be fully perswaded that his sinnes are forgiuen, what letteth why he should not be saued? |
A20202 | For if he should punish all offenders in this life, to what purpose should the iudgement to come serue? |
A20202 | For if the eie be darke, how great is the darknesse? |
A20202 | For is not the preaching of the word, the food of our soules? |
A20202 | For may not a man doe with his owne what he list? |
A20202 | For men will say, Such a Minister, and such a Preacher, doth thus, and thus, and therefore why may not we doe so too? |
A20202 | For saith he, What shall it profit a man, to win all the world, and lose his soule? |
A20202 | For shouldest thou withdraw thy self from them which go downe to the slaughter? |
A20202 | For so long as a man holds that, what encouragement can he haue to serue God? |
A20202 | For the Apostle saith; Who separateth thee? |
A20202 | For the Scripture saith: Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceit? |
A20202 | For the great day of his wrath is come, and who can stand? |
A20202 | For the pride of all Nations, and the follies of all Countries are vpon vs; how shall we beare them? |
A20202 | For what doth he else, but( as it were) put his finger into the Lions mouth, and( as it were) take the beare by the tooth? |
A20202 | For what good meaning can you haue? |
A20202 | For what is become of the greatest Monarchs, Kings, Princes, Potentates, and Magnificoes, that euer the world had? |
A20202 | For what is man, that hée should be mindfull of him? |
A20202 | For what is the iustifying faith, but a full perswasion of Gods particular loue to vs in Christ? |
A20202 | For what is this world but vanity of vanities? |
A20202 | For who but a bankrupt will lay the best iewell in his house to pledge, for euery small trifle? |
A20202 | For who can not lead a blind man whither he list? |
A20202 | For who euer saw these, or any other soule starue, for hunger? |
A20202 | For who euer trusted in the Lord, and was confounded? |
A20202 | For who knoweth the height, and depth of his corruption: who knoweth how oft he offendeth? |
A20202 | For who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? |
A20202 | For whom hath he not takē, with All these things will I giue thee? |
A20202 | For your sinne is very great: and who can beare it? |
A20202 | For, Preachers are but men; and what can they doe? |
A20202 | For, how can a man be gréeued for that, which he knoweth not? |
A20202 | For, how hard a thing is it, to bring such into frame, as are so farre out of frame? |
A20202 | For, is it any presumption for vs to beléeue that, which God hath promised, Christ hath purchased, and the holy Ghost hath sealed? |
A20202 | For, is it not a wofull and lamentable thing, that any such should be found amongst the sons of Leui? |
A20202 | For, what can all the Preachers say more then this; We are all sinners, we must be saued by Christ; Wée must doe as we would be done to? |
A20202 | For, what heart, what stomacke, what appetite can whoremongers and drunkards haue to any thing that is good? |
A20202 | For, what hope can you haue to be saued, when you walke in no path of saluation? |
A20202 | For, what shall it profit a man to winne the whole world, and lose his owne soule? |
A20202 | For, who can vtter that, which is incomprehensible? |
A20202 | For, who knoweth whether Christ will come this moneth, or the next; this yeere, or next? |
A20202 | From whence commeth it, that all men are borne in so wofull a case? |
A20202 | Further I demand, whether you instruct your wife, children, and seruants, in the true knowledge of God, and pray with them, or no? |
A20202 | Further, I aske you: whether you did neuer looke vpon a woman with a lust in your heart? |
A20202 | Further, I demand of you, whether you did neuer sweare by your faith, or troth, or ty our Lady, S. Mary, and such other oathes? |
A20202 | Giue vs not ouer into the hands of the Idolaters, left they should blaspheme thy name and say, Where is their God in whom they trusted? |
A20202 | Hath he giuen vs his sonne Christ, and shal he not with him giue vs all things? |
A20202 | Hath he prouided heauen for vs, and wil he not giue vs earth? |
A20202 | Hath hée not said: They shall be cast vpon vs? |
A20202 | Hath my neighbour a Cow to sell? |
A20202 | Hath not God geuen vs his word, that wée shall not want outward things? |
A20202 | Hath not our heauenly Father made many royall and large promises, that he will prouide necessaries for his children? |
A20202 | Hath not the Potter power of the clay, to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another to dishonour? |
A20202 | Haue men any true sight, or liuely and sound feeling of this misery and wofull estate, so long as they be meerely naturall? |
A20202 | Haue we not examples in the Scriptures of such as haue beene punished for lying? |
A20202 | Haue we not our fiue wits? |
A20202 | He hath most triumphantly said, O death, I will be thy death; O graue, I wil be thy destruction: O death where is thy sting? |
A20202 | His word is more then the faith of a Prince: more then ten thousand Obligations: Why then doe we not rest vpon it? |
A20202 | How can God iustly determine of mens destruction, before they haue sinned? |
A20202 | How can I driue you out of Christ, séeing you were neuer in him? |
A20202 | How can a man in truth call God his Father? |
A20202 | How can plaine and simple men trie the spirits and doctrines of the Preachers? |
A20202 | How can you bée a sinner, sith you kéepe all the Commandements? |
A20202 | How could his will encline vnto euill, it being made good, and he being made good? |
A20202 | How deare? |
A20202 | How do you Asunetus, and you Antilegon? |
A20202 | How doe you Asunetus? |
A20202 | How doe you ballance it in the visible Church: or in what comparison do you take it? |
A20202 | How doe you know in your selfe, and for your selfe, that you are one of the Elect, and one of those, for whom Christ died? |
A20202 | How doe you know that Christ died for you particularly, and by name? |
A20202 | How doe you proue that? |
A20202 | How else could you be so ignorant as you are? |
A20202 | How few beleeuers were found in Iericho; but one Rahab? |
A20202 | How few of the old Israelites entred into the Land of Promise; but two, Caleb and Iosuah? |
A20202 | How few righteous were found in Sodome, and the Cities adioyning; but one poore Lot, and his family? |
A20202 | How is that? |
A20202 | How know you that? |
A20202 | How know you, they would say so? |
A20202 | How long do men continue in this wofull state of nature, being vnder the curse of the law, and the very slauery of Sathan and sinne? |
A20202 | How many Sacraments be there? |
A20202 | How much more then are they to be pitied, which as concerning their soules, are both blinde, deafe, and dumbe? |
A20202 | How saie you, doe you kéepe this? |
A20202 | How then can it be blessed? |
A20202 | How then do you conceiue and consider of the purpose of God in all these things? |
A20202 | How therefore doe you know that you are one of them that haue speciall interest in Christ, and shall be saued by his death? |
A20202 | How vnderstand you that? |
A20202 | I maruell what good men doe get by gadding to Sermons, and poring so much in the scriptures; or what are they better then others? |
A20202 | I pray you if a man may be so bolde with you: How came you by all these good bookes? |
A20202 | I pray you sir, what a clocke hold you it? |
A20202 | I pray you speake your conscience, what good fellowship is there in this? |
A20202 | I pray you tell vs, how few, and to what scantling they may be reduced: whether one of an hundred, or one of a thousand, shal be saued? |
A20202 | I pray you, Sir, what say you to these great ruffes, which are borne vp with supporters, and rebatoes, as it were with post and raile? |
A20202 | I pray you, what call you hardnesse of heart? |
A20202 | If God haue decreed mens destruction, what can they do withall? |
A20202 | If I should doe all my selfe, wherefore serueth Christ? |
A20202 | If he spared not his owne people, what can wée looke for? |
A20202 | If his word say so, doth not he say so? |
A20202 | If hée spared not the naturall braunches, how shall hée spare vs which are wilde by nature? |
A20202 | If men be predestinate before they be borne, to what purpose serue all precepts, admonitions, lawes,& c? |
A20202 | If the Lion roare, all the beast of the field tremble, and shall not we be afraid of the roaring of the Lion of the Tribe of Iudah? |
A20202 | If the most valiant men, and thiefe Captaines in a battell goe downe, what shall become of the faint- hearted souldiers? |
A20202 | If they escaped not, which refused him, that spake on earth; how shall wee escape, if we turne away from him that speaketh from heauen? |
A20202 | If thou hast receiued it, why boastest thou, as though thou haddest not receiued it? |
A20202 | Is euery one of them so dangerous? |
A20202 | Is he our Father,& wil he not prouide for vs? |
A20202 | Is he our king, and wil he not regard vs? |
A20202 | Is he our shepheard, and wil he not looke to vs? |
A20202 | Is it euery mans case? |
A20202 | Is it not a corsey, that the Ministers of Christ shuld be of a scandalous conuersation? |
A20202 | Is it not a shame, that women, professing true Religion, should make themselues such pictures, puppets, and peacockes, as they doe? |
A20202 | Is it not a strange thing that the omni potent God, should fall to intreating of vs poore wretches? |
A20202 | Is it not a tedious and irkesome thing, to thinke vpon? |
A20202 | Is it not meere presumption, and an ouermuch trusting to our selues, to bee perswaded of our saluation? |
A20202 | Is it not thinke you a busie péece of worke, to smooth and square such Timber- logs, so full of knots and knobs? |
A20202 | Is not he and his word all one? |
A20202 | Is not the doctrine of the assurance of saluation, a most comfortable doctrine? |
A20202 | Is not this regeneration a changing or rather a destroying of humane nature? |
A20202 | Is the arme of the Lord shortned? |
A20202 | Is there any more to be said, in this ease? |
A20202 | Is there no cause, why men of great gifts should glory in their gifts? |
A20202 | Is this house become a den of theeues, wherupō my name is called? |
A20202 | Is your meaning, that men must of necessitie frequent preaching of the word? |
A20202 | It is God that iustifieth, who can condemne? |
A20202 | It is God that iustifieth; who shall condemne? |
A20202 | Let vs consider therefore, that God prouided for man before man was: then how much more will he prouide for man, now that he is? |
A20202 | Lots iust soule was vexed with the vncleane conuersation of the Sodomites:& shall we mourn nothing at all for these things? |
A20202 | Many heare the word preached, and are nothing the better, but rather the worse: what I pray you is the cause of that? |
A20202 | May wee not sweare by God in our common talke? |
A20202 | Moreouer, I demand, whether you were neuer angry or no? |
A20202 | Moreouer, let me aske you, whether you did neuer lie, or dissemble? |
A20202 | Must they needs? |
A20202 | Nay, but I aske you whether you kéepe them or no? |
A20202 | Nay, would not all men giue vp themselues to the obedience of God? |
A20202 | O hell where is thy victorie? |
A20202 | O yee adulterers& adulteresses, saith he, know yee not that the amitie of this world, is the enmitie of God? |
A20202 | Oh Iudah, how shall I entreat thee? |
A20202 | Or is not God the same iust God, to punish sinne now, that he was then? |
A20202 | Or will he care for his seruants, and not regard his owne children? |
A20202 | Seeing you condemne both swearing by creatures, and swearing by idols, what then must we sweare by? |
A20202 | Shal we make nothing of that, which draweth downe Gods wrath vpon the soule, body, goods, name, wife and children? |
A20202 | Shal we smooth ouer the matter with swéet words, when the holy Ghost maketh it so hainous and capitall? |
A20202 | Shall I not visit for these things( saith the Lord ▪) Shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this? |
A20202 | Shall not the land tremble for this( sayth the Lord) and euerie one mourne that dwelleth therein? |
A20202 | Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made mee thus? |
A20202 | Shall we count that but a trick of youth, for the which the Lord threatned Dauid, his owne seruant, that the sword should neuer depart from his house? |
A20202 | Shall we not quake, to think, that Christ shall com to take vengeance? |
A20202 | Shall we not then be much more afraide of the damnation of our soules? |
A20202 | Shall we not think that hée will be as good as his word? |
A20202 | Shall we now therfore make light of it? |
A20202 | Shall we say it is but a tricke of youth? |
A20202 | Shall we then lay them to gage, for euery word we speake? |
A20202 | Shall we thus set all at six and seuen, and make light of such horrible villanies? |
A20202 | Sith couetousnesse is especially of the heart, how may we know certainely, when the heart is infected? |
A20202 | Tell me therefore Antilegon, what was the reason why Christ was conceiued by the holy Ghost? |
A20202 | Tell me, what say you to the fift commandement, which is; Honour thy Father and thy Mother,& c. Doe you kéepe this? |
A20202 | That is, whether did God choose vs because we doe beleeue? |
A20202 | The wordes of the holy Ghost are these: Wilt thou cause thine eyes to flie after them? |
A20202 | They make no more conscience of it, then of cracking of nuts: and therefore what wise man will beléeue them, though they sweare neuer so much? |
A20202 | They plowed vp all things, they bare all before them, and who but they? |
A20202 | To whom( saith he) is wo? |
A20202 | Toades, Snakes, Adders, Scorpions, Basiliskes, and all other the most venemous vermine of the whole world? |
A20202 | Tush, tush; what needs all this a doe? |
A20202 | Two? |
A20202 | Was not the decree of God the cause of Adams fall? |
A20202 | Was the Lord reuenged of Achab, for his cruell and vninst dealing with poore Naboth, and shall he not be reuenged of you? |
A20202 | We must all die, we know not how soone: why therfore should men set their hearts vpon such vncertaine and deceiuable thinges? |
A20202 | Were they ashamed( saith he) when they had committed abhomination? |
A20202 | What I pray you, do you make it so great a matter if a man be a little ouertakē with drinke, now and then? |
A20202 | What I pray you? |
A20202 | What a lamentable thing therefore is it, when Magistrates are prophane, irreligious, popish, vicious, and negligent in the duties of their calling? |
A20202 | What a life therefore is this, that hath not one good day in it? |
A20202 | What auaileth it, to liue in all possible pleasures, and carnall delights héere, for some 60. yéeres, and then to suffer this eternall torment? |
A20202 | What authority haue you to examine me? |
A20202 | What be the remedies? |
A20202 | What be they, I pray you? |
A20202 | What comfort in trouble? |
A20202 | What course would you wish me to take, that I may come out of ignorance, and attaine vnto the true knowledge of God? |
A20202 | What did it profit the rich man, to be sumptuously cloathed,& fare deliciously euery day, when his body was buried in the dust& his soule in hel fire? |
A20202 | What do you call me foole? |
A20202 | What do you call prescience in God? |
A20202 | What do you thinke euery man is bound to read the Scriptures? |

A20202 | What hope can a man haue to reape a good crop of corne, that vseth no meanes, neither ploweth, soweth, nor harroweth? |
A20202 | What hope in the promises? |
A20202 | What hope is there then, I pray you, that such men should be saued? |
A20202 | What hurt doe these sinnes to our good name? |
A20202 | What if a man be infected with some two or three of these? |
A20202 | What is a Sacrament? |
A20202 | What is a man the better though hée haue all things, and be without him which is the author of all things? |

A20202 | What mattereth it to you? |
A20202 | What may be the cause of this so often, and great swearing? |
A20202 | What may we thinke of such as sweare by Gods life, Gods soule, Gods body, Gods heart? |
A20202 | What may we thinke of such? |
A20202 | What néed you a Sauiour, sith you are no sinner? |
A20202 | What other thing is there that deceiueth me? |

A20202 | What profit and comfort haue you by a Sacrament? |
A20202 | What reason is there that we all should thus be punished for an other mans offence? |
A20202 | What saie you to the second commandement; Thou shalt make to thy selfe no grauen image? |
A20202 | What say you then to Saint Peters signes, which are set downe in the first chapter of his second Epistle: which are these eight? |
A20202 | What say you then to learning, wit, and policie; are not these things of the essence of religion, and prooue a regeneration? |

A20202 | Whether then doth faith depend vpon election, or election vpon faith? |
A20202 | Whether then shall we beléeue Christ or you? |

A20202 | Why did he anger me then? |
A20202 | Why doe wée not plucke vp our hearts? |
A20202 | Why doth he say, I am in a bad case? |
A20202 | Why may not a man haue as good a faith to God- ward, that heareth no Sermons, as he that heareth all the Sermons in the world? |
A20202 | Why may not he, which eateth no meat, be as fat and as well liking, as he that eateth all the meat in the world? |
A20202 | Why should wée hang downe our heades? |
A20202 | Why then should wee be dismaied? |
A20202 | Why, I pray you, must they needs? |
A20202 | Will a man féed his Hogges, and not care for his seruants? |
A20202 | Will you make him to be the authour of condemnation? |
A20202 | Will you then condemne all good fellowship? |

A26687 | 14. the Margin hath given such a promise to him thereupon, and wlll not you put in for a share, neither in the praise, nor the Promise? |
A26687 | 46. and will not you own it with your practise? |
A26687 | A selfish spirit is unworthy of a Christian: are the common concernments of Gods Glory, and the prosperity of the Church, much upon your hearts? |
A26687 | Again, hath Christ recorded his name in your Hearts? |
A26687 | Again, how do you stand affected towards Holiness? |
A26687 | Ah what a Block doth Unbelief make of man? |
A26687 | Ah, dear Couzin, rouze up your self make conscience, to deal plainly and freely with your soul, say within your self, I have hopes for Heaven? |
A26687 | Ah, what a discouragement to your Teacher is this? |
A26687 | Alas what will their favour avail you? |
A26687 | Alas, hath he not a thousand ways, both outward and inward, to make up a little outward disadvantage to us? |
A26687 | Alas, what do I here? |
A26687 | Amongst Devils, or Angels? |
A26687 | An heir of Glory? |
A26687 | And O that the Lord might be loved the better, and glorified the more for our sakes: Will you tell us wherein we may shew our love to him? |
A26687 | And how great and how near is it? |
A26687 | And if the friends do rejoyce, how much more doth the father? |
A26687 | And if this be true, I pray you, tell me whether GOD hath not dealt well with us in counting us worthy of this little Tribulation for his Name? |
A26687 | And once again, when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, shall he live? |
A26687 | And shall the Grant of Heaven signifie little with thee? |
A26687 | And should they not walk more cautiously, and charily, than any alive, that are under so exact and curious an Eye? |
A26687 | And what have we to do, but to believe, and wait, and love, and long, and look out for his coming, in which is all our hope? |
A26687 | And what is thy business without Gods Blessing? |
A26687 | And will he come? |
A26687 | And will you miss of all, for want of patience? |
A26687 | Are not we his Jewells? |
A26687 | Are they capable of the misteries of your trade, and are they not capable of the plain principles of Religion? |
A26687 | Are you at peace with no sin, or do you not hide some iniquity as a sweet morsel under your Tongue? |
A26687 | Are you more affraid of sin than ever? |
A26687 | Are you more earnest upon the duty of Mortification? |
A26687 | Are you not betrothed unto Christ? |
A26687 | Are you yet willing to turn? |
A26687 | As the Father hath given him, so do your hearts give him a Name above every Name: Is Christ uppermost with you in your estimations and affection? |
A26687 | Be contented with Travellers lots: know you not that you are in a strange Land? |

A26687 | Believed thou this? |
A26687 | Beloved, sha I not the Vessel be for the use of the Potter that made it? |
A26687 | Beloved, what can you do? |
A26687 | Besides, is not ours a Religion of self denial? |
A26687 | Besides, the Husbandman hath long patience, and will not you have a little patience? |
A26687 | Beware they be not found among the Families that call not upon Gods Name; sor why should there be wrath from the Lord upon your Families? |
A26687 | Brethren beloved, how fares it with your souls? |
A26687 | Brethren, how stands it with you? |
A26687 | Brethren, shall I yet prevail with you? |
A26687 | Brethren, what are you for? |
A26687 | But O what shall we render? |
A26687 | But alas, how long shall I be a seeking? |
A26687 | But alas, though those things are duly to be considered too, yet what good am I like to do? |
A26687 | But alas, what are they the better for any, for all this? |
A26687 | But alas, what are we, and what is this little that we call our All? |
A26687 | But be of good comfort, the shame of Holiness is real Glory: how confidently doth Paul shake his Chain? |
A26687 | But it may be you will say, how shall I know if I am an object of Electing love? |
A26687 | But one cast for Eternity, and will you not be careful to throw that well? |
A26687 | But we may now cry out as the Psalmist, in his complaint, O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my Glory into shame? |
A26687 | But what do I speak of my love? |
A26687 | But what shall I say? |
A26687 | But where shall I begin, or when should I end? |
A26687 | But who are Christs Sheep? |
A26687 | But why should I doubt of your acceptance, who have so readily embraced me in all our converses? |
A26687 | But why, my Pylades, why is thy stile towards me changed? |
A26687 | But will you now? |
A26687 | Can Fulness fill you? |
A26687 | Can Omnipotence secure you? |
A26687 | Can a woman forget her Child, that she should not have compassion on the Son of her Womb? |
A26687 | Can all content you? |
A26687 | Can not your consciences witness, can not your families witness you have not? |
A26687 | Can they undo your Souls? |
A26687 | Can unsearchable Riches suffice you? |
A26687 | Can you forget your Children? |
A26687 | Chear up, my Brethren, look what a Crown, what a Kingdom here is; What say you? |
A26687 | Christ did not bethink his Blood, and shall I think my Breath, or Ink, too dear in order to your salvation? |
A26687 | Christians, where are you affections? |
A26687 | Come my Beloved, let us sit down under his Shadow: Here is safety, and rest, if God be for us, who can be against us? |
A26687 | Could you make out your claim? |
A26687 | Deathts can stand before it? |
A26687 | Did you ever read or hear of a man so mad as to run upon the Swords point, to avoid the scratch of a Pin? |
A26687 | Do I first seek the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Righteousness thereof? |
A26687 | Do I speak any thing but what God hath spoken? |
A26687 | Do I think Heaven will drop into my mouth? |
A26687 | Do I think to be Crowned, and yet never fight? |
A26687 | Do You in your very hearts prefer a Godly strict Life in communion with and conformity to God, before the greatest prosperity of the World? |
A26687 | Do any of you question whether you are so happy as to have your names recorded above? |
A26687 | Do but view it believingly and considerately, as it is darkly drawn there, and tell me, what think you of that worthy portion, that goodly Heritage? |
A26687 | Do these Letters come to none that are yet unsanctified? |
A26687 | Do you abstain from sin out of fear, or out of dislike? |
A26687 | Do you ask for marks how you may know your souls to be in a thriving case? |

A26687 | Do you choose it? |
A26687 | Do you ear and sleep by rule? |
A26687 | Do you follow after Holiness? |
A26687 | Do you grow more out of love with mens esteem, and set less by it? |
A26687 | Do you h ● … nger and thirst after it,& desire it more than any Temporal good? |
A26687 | Do you hate every sin and long to be rid of it as your most irksome burden? |
A26687 | Do you hate every sin as the sheep doth the Mire? |
A26687 | Do you love it? |
A26687 | Do you need Motives?] |
A26687 | Do you not know that you do in vain name the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, except you depart from iniquity? |
A26687 | Do you prize it above all prosperity and worldly greatness? |
A26687 | Do you regard no Iniquity in your hearts? |
A26687 | Do you strive against, and oppose all sin, though it may seem never so necessary, never so natural to you, or have you not your secret haunts of evil? |
A26687 | Do you take more delinht in the Word than ever? |
A26687 | Do you take more notice of God in every thing, than heretofore? |
A26687 | Do you thirst after God, and after grace, more than heretofore? |

A26687 | Do you throughly believe? |
A26687 | Doth he not own us for his Members, for his Children? |
A26687 | Doth not Conscience say, Thou art the man? |
A26687 | Fear is a slavish principle: do you find that you are acted less by fear, and more by love? |
A26687 | For First, He hath beftowed more on them than on others: Now where much is given, much shall be required: Can you think of that without trembling? |
A26687 | God hath said it, and who shall reverse it? |
A26687 | Hath not Mercy wooed them? |
A26687 | Hath not he reproved the greatest for his Peoples sakes, saying reproach not mine anointed? |
A26687 | Have You done it all accordingly? |
A26687 | Have any ventured themselves upon him in his way, but he made good every word of the Promise to them? |
A26687 | Have you chosen the way of Gods Precepts, and had rather live holily than be allowed to live in your sins? |
A26687 | Have you never a Sacrifice to lay upon his Altar? |
A26687 | Have you taken him for your blessedness? |
A26687 | He bears your names, but where? |
A26687 | He had no need of you; Yet how do his compassions melt over perishing sinners? |
A26687 | He hath you upon his heart, but why? |
A26687 | How closely doth he cling? |
A26687 | How did it look? |
A26687 | How do you pray with all Prayer and Supplication, if You do not with Family Prayer? |
A26687 | How do your souls prosper? |
A26687 | How feelingly doth he cry out at the hurt of his poor Members on Earth? |
A26687 | How fully doth he Relie upon God? |
A26687 | How is it then that you read not the Sentence passed on the fruitless Tree? |
A26687 | How it waiteth to be gracious to you? |
A26687 | How long shall I live at such a distance from my God, at such a distance from my Countrey? |
A26687 | How long will ye love Vanity, and follow after leasing, and trust in lying Words? |

A26687 | How much are you behind- band? |
A26687 | How much are you grown? |
A26687 | How often do Princes forsake their greatest Favourites? |
A26687 | How shall I reach them? |
A26687 | How should I love and bless the Lord for this his great Grace towards you, while I live? |
A26687 | How tenderly should they walk, that are entrusted with such a Jewell? |
A26687 | I have sent you an help on purpose: what shall all my perswasions be but speaking in the wind? |
A26687 | I know you do; but who is there that will leave his sins for me? |
A26687 | I mean at my requests: with whom shall I prevail to give up himself in strictnese and self- denial to the Lord? |
A26687 | I pray, I hear, I read, but may not a meer Hypocrite do all this? |
A26687 | I remember your strict walkings, your holy converse, your many tears: will you- lose the things that you have wrought? |
A26687 | I say, driving them violently down the hill, till they be choaked in the Water, and drowned irrecoverably in the Gulf of endless Perdition? |
A26687 | I shall bring it to a speedy issue: Do ● … ou question whether Christ hath taken your names? |
A26687 | If the men of the world do so rejoyce when such or such an Estate is fallen to them? |
A26687 | If the reward of Religion would be presently in hand, who would not be Religious? |

A26687 | Is it for this World, or the World to- come? |
A26687 | Is it meat and drink for you, to do the Will of God? |
A26687 | Is it not enough to have a whole eternity of happiness yet behind? |
A26687 | Is it not from him that you fetch every breath? |

A26687 | Is the Communion of Saints worth the venturing for? |
A26687 | Is the Name of Jesus deeply engraven upon your Souls? |
A26687 | Is the Name of Jesus the Beloved name with you? |

A26687 | Is there not much more advantage accordingly? |
A26687 | Is there not some practice that you are not willing to know is a sin for fear you should be forced to leave it? |
A26687 | Is this a strange thing? |

A26687 | Let us think with our selves, what though our Purses, our Estates, may thrive better in a place of a large maintenance? |
A26687 | Lord, how do we make a shift to forget such a love as this? |
A26687 | May not Christ say to some among you, Behold these three years have I come, seeking fruit, and findig none? |
A26687 | Men do not use to die in jest: Who will impoverish himself to enrich his Friend? |
A26687 | Must not you shortly be forgot among the Dead? |
A26687 | My most dearly beloved minc own bowels in the Lord, will you satisfie the longings of a travelling Minister? |
A26687 | My treasure is in Heaven, and my heart is in Heaven, Oh when shall I be where my heart is? |

A26687 | O man, hast thou a charge of Souls to answer for, and dost thou not yet bestir thy self for them, that their Blood be not found in thy Skirts? |
A26687 | O my Pylades, what shall I say unto thee now I begin to write, where shall I begin, when shall I end? |
A26687 | O sinners, cast your selves into his Arm? |
A26687 | O sinners, where will you then appear? |
A26687 | O sleepy Professors, how long will you drive on in this heavy course? |
A26687 | O where shall we find a fitting sacrifice? |
A26687 | O wherein may you rejoyce me? |
A26687 | O why will you flatter your felves, and wilfully deceive your own selves? |
A26687 | Often ask your hearts, VVhat if God should this night require my Soul? |
A26687 | Oh come in at his loving Calls, Come out from thy sins: Touch the Scepter of Grace and live: Why shouldest thou be dashed in pieces by his Iron Rod? |
A26687 | Oh that they would consider it now in the latter dayes? |

A26687 | Or will the Husband man despond, and give up all for lost, when he sees the Fields even white for the Harvest? |

A26687 | Soul, believest thou this? |
A26687 | Suffer me to be free with thee, where should I pour out my Soul, if not into thy bosom? |
A26687 | Suppose Christ should put the awakening question to you, What do you more than others? |
A26687 | Suppose I should ask you one by one, where are your Evidences for Heaven? |
A26687 | Sure your Lot is fallen in an happy place; what in the bosom of Christ? |

A26687 | VVhat, do you think that all this doth signifie nothing? |
A26687 | VVill you suffer your Jewells to lie in the Dirt, or make no reckoning of them whether they are lost? |

A13187 | there is none good but onely God? |
A13187 | they are assembled ● … th one accord, what else? |
A13187 | they reasoned among themselues, saying: If wee shall say from heauen, hee will say vnto vs: why did you not beléeue him? |
A13187 | thou canst for the loue of the world suffer tribulation, rise early, late take thy rest: and wilt thou doe nothing for my loue? |
A13187 | to whō do I looke but vnto these? |
A13187 | vpon whom, saith God, doth my spirit rest, but vpon the humble? |
A13187 | vvhom doe proude men fashion or shadow out lesse then the sonne of God, who humbled himselfe that we might be exalted? |
A13187 | was it because thy kingdome was not of this world? |
A13187 | was it not his suffering onely that was( as hath beene said) the remouing of euill? |
A13187 | was it not thy birth, O Christian soule, which was then to be brought forth, when our Rachel trauailed vnto death? |
A13187 | was it not thy cause, for which our Iacob endured so many yéeres seruitude? |
A13187 | was sinne then so heynous, that nothing could ● … eanse the contagion thereof, but the death of an innocent Lambe? |
A13187 | what a noyse will this be that all shall heare at once in most wonderfull manner? |
A13187 | what anger, that his gentlenes doth not le ● … e? |
A13187 | what couetousnes, that his pouertie doth not salue? |
A13187 | what did the world euer sée more patient, more charitable, then the Sonne of God? |
A13187 | what friend wilt thou séeke? |
A13187 | what happines do they loose that neglect so great a price proposed vnto them, for the vaine pleasures and sensuall delights of a sinfull life? |
A13187 | what heart is there so benummed, that his loue doth not inflame? |
A13187 | what is it to be married to the momentarie pleasures of a sinfull life, and for euer and euer to be deuorced from Christ? |
A13187 | what is it to vs? |
A13187 | what is our mirth, but a little Sun- shine before a storme? |
A13187 | what loue was that, which was prodigall of life, for his friend? |
A13187 | what silence was that, which vnto false accusers aunswered nothing? |
A13187 | what vertue can he wish, but there he shall sée a liuely image thereof? |
A13187 | what was this musing, but the bellowes to blow the sparks, and kindle the flame of Dauids affection? |
A13187 | what were his dainties, but bread, and some few fishes? |
A13187 | what, for a short time to shine in glory, and héereafter to consume in misery? |
A13187 | when he chose Disciples, whom did hee choose, but poore fishermen? |
A13187 | when hee walked vp and down, who were his associates, but Publicans, and for the most part the common people? |
A13187 | when hee would take his rest, where was his lodging, but at the sterne of a ship? |
A13187 | when hee would take repast, where was his table, but vpon the plaine ground? |
A13187 | when we f ● … d in our selues a most diuine& heauenly resemblance, whose Image is this? |
A13187 | whence is it that we are so easily caried away with euery shew of vanity, but in that wee lightly passe ouer Christes contempt of the world? |
A13187 | whence we see that mocking and speaking euill is a kind of persecution, which wee should suffer, sayeth Saint Peter, and why? |
A13187 | where did the Doue light? |
A13187 | where haue wee, saith Saint Bernard, true iustice but in his mercy, true fortitude but in his constancie? |

A13187 | wouldest become a seruant, and so in subiection, and what more? |
A13187 | yes, that hee was by many degrees? |
A13187 | 〈 ◊ 〉 swéete Iesus, should euer vn ● … fulnes of this loue of thine ● … pe vpon vs? |
A67746 | & c. Yea, the onely Sonne of God came to this; my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A67746 | 1. and that God esteemes of faith above all other graces, deeds, or acts of thine? |
A67746 | 14. they saw the Pillar remove behind them, and the Sea remove before them, they looking for nothing but death? |
A67746 | 19. that he was able to say, Though I should walke through the valley of the shaddo ● of death I will feare no evill: Why? |
A67746 | 2. and see what cause he had so to say; what what were these Arrow ● s? |
A67746 | 21. and as heartily, and unfaynedly desire, that thou maist never commit it, as that God should never impute it? |
A67746 | 25. Who will not be willing to suffer with Christ, that he may also raigne with him? |
A67746 | 26. and the Apostles esteemed it a grace, to be disgraced for him: and shall we grumble, or thinke much at it? |
A67746 | 31. to 36. and yet he againe reigned in Babell: Worse than Josephs? |
A67746 | 310 Assurance of the pardon of sinne, what a comfort? |
A67746 | Achan for one sa ● reledge? |
A67746 | Admit thou art a great sinner, what then? |
A67746 | Again seaventhly, how excellently was Jobs sincerity made known by Sathans malice, when he brought sorth those Angelicall words; What? |
A67746 | Againe secondly, if wee make this use of our sufferings, what more pretious than the reproaches of an enemy? |
A67746 | Againe, shall it ever enter into our hearts to thinke, that God gives us rules to keepe, and yet breake them himselfe? |
A67746 | Alas, what can they do? |
A67746 | Ana ● ● as for one lye? |
A67746 | And David speaking of his sonne Absaloms treason, I was dumbe and said nothing; why? |
A67746 | And dost thou make thy slight sufferings an argument of his displeasure? |
A67746 | And herein wee fare no worse than Christ; Did not his spirit passe from the Crosse into Paradise? |
A67746 | And how profitable is that affliction, which carryeth me to Heaven? |
A67746 | And how should they other then miscarry, who have a Pirate( the Flesh) for their guide? |
A67746 | And in common reason, can a Clock goe without a weight to move it, or a Keeper to set it? |
A67746 | And in reason, did he come to call sinners to repentance, and shall he not shew merey to the penitent? |
A67746 | And indeed, how many have wee knowne the better for th ● ir sinne? |
A67746 | And indeed, what shouldst thou doe in case thou seest that the world runs not on thy side, but give over the world, and be on Gods side? |
A67746 | And is not Christ to our soules the onely Sun of righteousness, and fountaine of all comfort? |
A67746 | And lastly, shall our momentany sufferings be rewarded with overlasting glory? |
A67746 | And makes not this infinitly for the glory of God? |
A67746 | And may not this comfort thee? |
A67746 | And see how hee followed his Masters example; for which amongst us so loves his Benefactors, as Saint Paul loved his Malefactors? |
A67746 | And what else did Judas, touching Mary, when hee depraved her in our Saviours presence, for powring that pretious oyntment on his feet? |
A67746 | And what more glorious than with Noahs Olive- tree, to keep our Branches green under water? |
A67746 | And what saith Naaman upon the cleansing of his Leprosie? |
A67746 | And what saith that Tyrian Queene? |
A67746 | And what though thou canst not poure out thy soule in a 〈 … 〉 ud of words? |
A67746 | And what will become of him, if he repent not; who can afford no time to argue, but to execute? |
A67746 | And wherein does thy case differ? |
A67746 | And whether had you rather rejoyce for one fit, or alwayes? |
A67746 | And whom did Christ honour with his first appearance, but Mary Magdalen? |
A67746 | And why all this, but that in his owne might no man might be strong? |
A67746 | And why doth the goodnesse of our God pick out the most needfull times for our reliefe and comfort? |
A67746 | And why is it not so with thee? |
A67746 | And yet thou exceptest thy selfe, he excludes none, and dost thou exclude one, and that one thy selfe? |
A67746 | Are these stripes the chiefest tokens and pledges of Gods love and adoption? |
A67746 | Are thy sinnes great? |
A67746 | Are we bound to performe perfect obedience to the Law? |
A67746 | As how doth Davids patience draw on the insolence of Shimei? |
A67746 | As how few of these Salamanders who are never well, but when they are in the fire of contention, are long lived? |
A67746 | As touching the first, why descended he to take our flesh? |
A67746 | As what is a mountaine of Earth but an accumulation of many little dusts? |
A67746 | Beleevest thou the former Scriptures spoken by Christ, and his Apostles? |
A67746 | Besides, how were the Angels in heaven punished for one fault? |
A67746 | Besides, without some kinde of suffering, how shall your sincerity be approved? |
A67746 | But all the evill thou doest to the godly, is with thy tongue? |
A67746 | But bethinke thy selfe, is it worse with thee than it was with those b ● fore mentioned? |
A67746 | But how can I lay downe my life for Christ? |
A67746 | But how in this case? |
A67746 | But is it so? |
A67746 | But may some say, can any good come out of such a Nazarite? |
A67746 | But tell me, hath not this roaring Lyon prevailed against thy best part? |
A67746 | But to goe on; wilt thou follow Gods example? |
A67746 | But what did they answer? |
A67746 | But what doe I tell them of these transcendent examples? |
A67746 | But what ever others find, thy sufferings are not thus counterpoysed and sweetned? |
A67746 | But what hath beene the answer of GOD alwayes to his children in such their extasies, but this? |
A67746 | But what of all this? |
A67746 | But what would malice rather have, than the vexation of them whom it perse ● utes? |
A67746 | But what''s the reason? |
A67746 | But when will there be an end of this long disease? |
A67746 | Can not our enemies diminish one haire of our heads, without Gods speciall leave and appointment? |
A67746 | David, whence came all his troubles by Absalom, Ammon, Adoniah? |
A67746 | Did God and Belial joyne in fulfilling the same act? |
A67746 | Did ever any sinner implore the forgivenesse of his sinnes, which did not receive full remission and pardon? |
A67746 | Did he not without the Sunne at the Creation, cause light to shine forth; and without raine at the same time, make the earth fruitfull? |
A67746 | Did it ever repent Jacob, when he came to inherit his Fathers blessing, that he had endured a long exile, and tedious bondage? |
A67746 | Did not hee first descend into Hell, and then had his ascension? |
A67746 | Did not the sicke ever receive their health? |
A67746 | Doe thou beare with others, God beares with thee; is there a too much, which thou canst suffer for so patient a Lord? |
A67746 | Dost thou determine to continue in the practice of any one sinne? |
A67746 | Dost thou not love rather to be, then seeme, or be thought good; and seeke more the power of godlinesse, then the shew of it? |
A67746 | Doth Satan merit thanks? |
A67746 | Doth hee make bloody wayles on the backes of his Children, and shall Bastards escape? |
A67746 | Doth not God onely gaine glory by our sufferings, but doe they also bring 〈 ◊ 〉 to repentance, and amendment of life? |
A67746 | Even Hazael before hee met with an opportunity, could say, What? |
A67746 | For consider, doth the Lord say he will extend his mercy unto all that come unto him? |
A67746 | For first: Who ever was, that was not slandered? |
A67746 | For the Law of God, and the Law of Nature forbids it; and doth not the Law of Nations also? |
A67746 | For what can be spoken more expresse, direct, and significant? |
A67746 | For, art thou borne of God? |
A67746 | God used the malice of Pharaoh and Shemei unto good; what then? |
A67746 | Hast thou but thoughts and desires, and canst thou onely expresse them with sighes, and groanes? |
A67746 | Hast thou then a desire after this invincible patience? |
A67746 | Hath he promised that wee shall not be tempted above our strength? |
A67746 | Hath this Lyon yeelded thee any honey of Instruction, or Reformation? |
A67746 | Hath thy sinne dyed with thy fame, or with thy health, or with thy peace, or with thy outward estate? |
A67746 | Have mercy upon me( saith hee) and heark ● n unto my prayer: Why? |
A67746 | How can we but say, let the world frowne, and all things in it runne crosse to the graine of our mindes? |
A67746 | How deare a Jewell is health to him that tumbles in distempered bloud? |
A67746 | How is that? |
A67746 | How many flying from danger, have met with death? |
A67746 | How many severall qualities have the Plants that they Brouze upon? |
A67746 | How oft doth guiltinesse make one avoid, what another would wish in this case? |
A67746 | How rashly then hast thou judged of thy Makers dealing with thee? |
A67746 | How small trifles make us weary of our selves? |
A67746 | How sweet is liberty to one that hath beene long imm 〈 … 〉 ed within a case of wals? |
A67746 | I meane thy soule free? |
A67746 | I, but is it wisedome so to doe? |
A67746 | If every thing were unlike him, how is it possible hee should love us? |
A67746 | If it bee a ● ked why God reckons so highly of a few sighes and groanes? |
A67746 | If we be sicke, and the Physitian promises to visit us to morrow with his best reliefe, with what a tedious longing doe we expect his presence? |
A67746 | If you endure chast 〈 … 〉, God offereth himselfe unto you, as unto sonnes: for 〈 ◊ 〉 so ● ● e is it whom the Father chasteneth not? |
A67746 | In these cases how full of life, and spirit, and holy impatiency did he shew himselfe to be? |
A67746 | Indeed, what have we by our second birth, which is not miraculous in comparison of our naturall condition? |
A67746 | Is God more specially present with us in afflictions? |
A67746 | Is any one afflicted? |
A67746 | It may be his naturall, spirituall or politicall parents, in some kinde or other: as who can plead innocency herein? |
A67746 | It was a common complaint with David, The Lord both forsaken us; those hast cast off, and abhorred us: why hast thou forsaken me? |
A67746 | Let a man but fast a meale or two, oh how sweete is browne bread, though it would not downe before? |
A67746 | Let every such Jonas reflect upon himselfe, and say, What evill have I done? |
A67746 | Mirriam for one slander? |
A67746 | Moses for one unbeleefe? |
A67746 | Neither can there be a worse signe, of ensuing evill, then for a man in a carnall presumption to vaunt of his owne abilities? |
A67746 | Neither say of thy sinne, as once Lot of Zoar; is it not a little one? |
A67746 | Neither wants he care; he that numbers our very haires, what account doth he make of our soules? |
A67746 | Never were the Jewes more to be pitied, then when their Prophet delivered these words from the Lord, Why should yee be stricken any more? |
A67746 | Nor love; for if he hath bought us with his bloud, and given us himselfe, will he deny us any thing that is good for us? |
A67746 | Now Lord it being thus with us, how can wee expect that th ● n should ● st heare our prayers, and grant our ● ● qu ● sts? |
A67746 | Now if that bosome wherein we all look to rest, was assaulted with so many sore tryals, and so divers difficulties, is it likely we should escape? |
A67746 | Now instead of being overcome, dost thou overcome? |
A67746 | Now what is it that wee suffer, being compared with their sufferings? |
A67746 | Now who would not be willing to bleed, when by that meanes an inveterate sicknesse may be prevented? |
A67746 | Now, if thy very enemies thus honour thee, how should thy friends( bought with thy precious blood) glorifie thee? |
A67746 | Now, what Sonne of Israel can hope for any good dayes, when hee heares his Fathers were so evill? |
A67746 | Now, when so much was uttered, even by a non- such for his patience; what may we thinke hee did feele, and indure? |
A67746 | Now, whethers counsell wilt thou follow? |
A67746 | O how ● eet a thing is peace to them that have beene long troubled with warres and tedious contentions? |
A67746 | O what a glorious renowne did the Traytors reproach occasion her? |
A67746 | Oh, it is a good change, to have the fire of affliction for the fire of H ● ll: Who would not rather sinart for a while, than for ever? |
A67746 | Or Joseph, when he was once made Ruler in Aegypt, that he had formerly beene sold thither, and there imprisoned? |
A67746 | Or as Jewell did his friends in banishment; saying, This world will not last ever? |
A67746 | Or which of Gods servants did ever repent that they had passed the apprentiship of their service here, and were now gone to be made free in glory? |
A67746 | Or will he provide for his Men and Maides, and let his owne Children strave? |
A67746 | Or with Aarons Rod, to bring forth ripe Almonds, when in appearance wee are clung and dry? |
A67746 | Or, who would not e ● st his burthen upon him, that doth desire to give ease? |
A67746 | Our holy longings are increased with delayes; it whets our appetite to bee held fasting, and whom will not Need make both humble and eloquent? |
A67746 | Shall we receive good at the hands of God, and not evill? |
A67746 | Shall wee slight all his blessings, because in one thing hee crosseth us, whereas his least mercy is beyond our best ▪ merit? |
A67746 | Slay them? |
A67746 | Suppose thy suff ● rings be great, what then? |
A67746 | That thou hast great cause to rejoyce and be glad, that thou art counted worthy to suffer shame for Christs Name? |
A67746 | The Portingals will rejoyce in foule weather; why? |
A67746 | Thou mayst thinke so, but God will not doe so; but in the meane time, how can this be well taken? |
A67746 | Thou wouldest goe the naturall way to worke, What shall I doe to inherit etonall life? |
A67746 | Thy prayer is heard: When did he make this Prayer? |
A67746 | To instance in some examples; Sathan did nought touching Job, but what the Lord upon his request gave him leave to doe; what then? |
A67746 | True, the fainting heart that hath waited some time, may with the Psalmist mutter out some such speech as this, Hath God forgotten to bee gracious? |
A67746 | Was Lazarus for a time extreame miserable? |
A67746 | We are bound to praise thee above any Nation whatsoever: for what Nation under Heaven en ● oyes so much light, or so many blessings as we? |
A67746 | Wee all call our selves Christians: why? |
A67746 | Well then, art thou vexed, persecuted, and afflicted by some cruell and malitious Saul? |
A67746 | Were none of his children ever exempted from the like? |
A67746 | What Fortisications or Bulwar ● es so strong and safe against the affronts of Satan, and the World? |
A67746 | What a load of injuries can some Christians digest, that have beene frequent in sufferings, and long exercised in the Schoole of Affliction? |
A67746 | What can wee doe without thee? |
A67746 | What demonstrations can be given more sollid? |
A67746 | What did he lose by it, or had he cause to repent himselfe? |
A67746 | What evill hast thou done said the Marriners to the distressed Prophet, that this evill is come upon us? |
A67746 | What if the Lord for a time forbeare comming, as Samuel did to Saul; that hee may try what is in thee? |
A67746 | What is this but in effect, and at a distance to contradict the Lord, and give the lye to truth it selfe? |
A67746 | What need had David to loade himselfe with an unnessary weapon? |
A67746 | What need we returne rayling for rayling? |
A67746 | What saith David? |
A67746 | What saith Job? |
A67746 | What saith one advisedly? |
A67746 | What saith the Apostle? |
A67746 | What shall I say? |
A67746 | What then? |
A67746 | What then? |
A67746 | What then? |
A67746 | What will not men undergoe, so their pay may be answerable? |
A67746 | What, saith Saint Hierom, in the like case? |
A67746 | When Aristippus was asked by one in dirision, where the great high friendship was become, that formerly had bin between him and Estines? |
A67746 | When did God answer the hopes of Sarah, Rebeckah, Rachel, the wife of Manoah, and Elizabeth, touching their long and much desired issues? |
A67746 | When did Moses finde succour, but when his Mother could no longer hide him: and he was put into the River among the Bullrushes? |
A67746 | When did we talke without vanity? |
A67746 | When had the Children of Israel the greatest victories, but when they feared most to bee overcome? |
A67746 | When was Hagar comforted of the Aagell, but when her childe was neere famished, and she had cast it under a Tree for dead? |
A67746 | Wherefore, as Jehoram said to Jehu, when he marched furiously; Commest thou peaceably? |
A67746 | Which all mingled together, what a well tempered S ● llad do they make? |
A67746 | Who but Andronicus, Emperour of the East for many yeares? |
A67746 | Who could feele the odoriferous smell of these Aromaticall spices, if they were not pownded and bruised in the Morter of affliction? |
A67746 | Who could know the Faith, Patience, and Valour, of Gods souldiers, if they alwayes lay in Garrison, and never came to the skirmish? |
A67746 | Who could know whether we be Vessels of gold, or drosse, unlesse we were brought to the Touch- stone of temptation? |
A67746 | Who ever asked any thing of him, which was profitable for him to receive, and did not obtaine his sute? |
A67746 | Who is he that saith, and it commeth to passe, when the Lord commandeth it not? |
A67746 | Who is so melancholy as the rich worldling? |
A67746 | Who will not suffer a few stripes from a Father, by whom he receiveth so much good, even all that he hath? |
A67746 | Who would not be a Philpot for a moneth, or a Lazarus for a day, or a Stephen for an houre, that he might be in Abrahams bosome for ever? |
A67746 | Why doth the Hare use so many doublings? |
A67746 | Why groanest thou under thy burden, and cryest out of unremedied paine? |
A67746 | Why is the Lapwing made an Hieroglyphicke of infelicity? |
A67746 | Why should we not hate the way to Hell, as much as Hell it selfe? |
A67746 | Why then complainest thou, I am afflicted on every side? |
A67746 | Why then should you give your selfe over, where your Physitian doth not? |
A67746 | Why were they so long kept from it? |
A67746 | Why? |
A67746 | Will any m ● ● ● choyce of a weak Champion? |
A67746 | Will you take Saint Pauls word for it, or rather GODS owne word, who is truth it selfe, and can not lye? |
A67746 | Wilt thou( saith one) looke to raigne, and not expect to suffe ●? |
A67746 | Without thee, what can we suffer? |
A67746 | Worse than Job, when he sate scraping his soares on the dunghill, had all his houses burn ●, all his cattell stolne, and his children sl ● ine? |
A67746 | Wouldst thou have faith? |
A67746 | Wouldst thou have the love of God? |
A67746 | Yea, how many will confesse, that one affliction hath done more good upon them, than many Sermons? |
A67746 | Yea, how should we not with a great deale of comfort and security, passe through a Sea of troubles, that wee may come to that haven of eternall rest? |
A67746 | Yea, shall our glory bee increased, as our sufferings have beene m ● re? |

A67746 | You''l confesse then t is Princely to disdaine a wrong; and is that all? |
A67746 | and dost thou say, nay but he will not extend his mercy unto me, he will have mee to perish, because I am a grievous sinner? |
A67746 | and he had never been a Courtier, if he had not first beene a prisoner? |
A67746 | and is it grievous to thee for the present? |
A67746 | and the Angell, but Peter? |

A67746 | and what thou wilt doe, or suffer for him, that hath do ● e and suffered so much for thee? |
A67746 | and who sings so merry a note, as he that can not change a groat? |
A67746 | and why should we not make every cogitation, spéech, and action of ours, as so many steps to Heaven? |
A67746 | and why the prayers of the faithfull are so powerfull? |
A67746 | and yet they were delivered: Or is thy case worse than that of Jonas in the Sea, yea in the Whales belly? |
A67746 | as what did our Saviour answer, when the people asked him, What sh ● ll we doe that we might worke the workes of God? |
A67746 | as why did God se ● Noah about building the Arke, an hundred and twenty yeares, when a small time might have finished it? |
A67746 | but who can measure thy goodnesse, who givest 〈 ◊ 〉, and forgiv ● st all? |
A67746 | did he not thrust his owne feet into the stocks by that threefold lye of his, uttered in a breath to get the blessing? |
A67746 | doth he deale thus with his Sonnes, what will he doe with his Slaves? |
A67746 | doth he invite every one? |
A67746 | doth he say I would have all men saved, and none to perish? |
A67746 | hast thou kept thy head whole? |
A67746 | hast thou vanquished the World that vanquisheth all the wicked? |
A67746 | he sends his Serjeant to arrest thee for thy debt; commands thee and all thou h ● ft to be sold, but why? |
A67746 | hee would have all men saved, and thou commest in with thy exceptive, all but mee; why thee? |
A67746 | how many furious men, by a rash bloudshed? |
A67746 | if he doe not answer us in everything, shall we take pleasure in nothing? |
A67746 | if when a man reviles thee thou art impatient, how wouldest thou afford thy ashes to Christ, and write patience with thine owne blood? |
A67746 | is thy servant a dogge? |
A67746 | or doth Satan only tell thee so? |
A67746 | or what good have I omitted or intermitted? |
A67746 | or what is a flood, but a concurrence of many little drops? |
A67746 | or with Moses Bush, not to consume though on a light fire? |
A67746 | shall to dayes Ague, make us forget yesterdayes health, and all Gods former favours? |
A67746 | shall we receive good at the hand of God, and not receive evill? |
A67746 | that they have learned more good in one dayes or weekes misery, than many yeares prosperity could teach them? |
A67746 | the blinde their sight? |
A67746 | the lame their limbes? |
A67746 | then Mary Magdalen, a common strumpet; possest of many Devils? |
A67746 | then Paul, a bloudy persecutor of Christ and his Church? |
A67746 | then the Theefe upon the Crosse, who had spent his whole life to the last houre, in ab 〈 … 〉 inable wickednesse? |
A67746 | this heavy yoake of bondage? |
A67746 | this tedious affliction? |
A67746 | was it not his fondnesse and indulgence? |
A67746 | was it not his owne undutifulnesse? |
A67746 | what cunning conveyances? |
A67746 | what jugling, shuffling, and packing will he use, to make any sinne feazable? |
A67746 | what quaint querks? |
A67746 | what sinne have I committed or admitted? |
A67746 | what subtill shifts? |
A67746 | when Balack told him, am not I able indeed to promote thee to honour? |
A67746 | when I can not for his sake, quietly disgest a few reproachfull speeches? |
A67746 | when did we bargaine without deceit? |
A67746 | when did we give without hypocrisie? |
A67746 | when did we pray without ● ● diousnesse? |
A67746 | when did we reprove without anger, or envy? |
A67746 | when did wee heare without wearisomnesse? |
A67746 | when he was throwne into a Pit ●, and left hopelesse; or when sold to the Ishm ● elitish Merchants, and then cast into prison? |
A67746 | who findes not in himselfe an indisposition of minde to all good, and an inclination to all evill? |
A67746 | why doth he permit so m ● ny, and such notorious crimes? |
A67746 | why doth he punish the innocent, and acquit the peccant? |
A67746 | would any man put his life to a venter, if he knew that when hee dyed he should presently drop into hell? |
A67746 | yea, how can wee looke for other at thin ● hands, then great and g ● i ● vous, yea, then double damnation? |
A44697 | ( else how by dwelling in love, do they dwell in God?) |
A44697 | 245 Considering, There is a taking delight in one thing more than another, and should be something that is a known good? |
A44697 | A concealment and disguise of an heart inwardly bad and naught? |
A44697 | A disjointing and unhinging of the best and noblest part of Gods Creation from its station and rest, its proper basis and center? |
A44697 | A shattering and breaking asunder the bond between rational appetite and the First Good? |
A44697 | A turning all upside down? |
A44697 | Account 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? |
A44697 | Again, Would you not be justly taken to disaffect one whose temper is ungrateful, whose disposition and way is unpleasing to you? |
A44697 | And a person of such worth and accomplishments as I, be thus brought down into the dust? |
A44697 | And again, Can you be confident that so much as you suppose, was true? |
A44697 | And bethink your selves, What would you then be esteemed? |
A44697 | And can it be thought the love of the great and blessed God should signifie less? |
A44697 | And can your ignorance of God be excusable or innocent? |
A44697 | And consider, Is it not a grievous thing to you? |
A44697 | And 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? |
A44697 | And do we need it to a Life of Delight? |
A44697 | And do you not now see one to be delighted in? |
A44697 | And dost thou not yet see the horrid vileness of thy own heart in all this? |
A44697 | And doth it not then naturally aim at him and tend towards him? |
A44697 | And doth not that make your matter much worse? |
A44697 | And doth not your unaccustomedness to this blessed exercise resist the Tendency of that new nature? |
A44697 | And doth this import no enmity? |
A44697 | And have you not reason to be ashamed you have not known him better, and to better purpose? |
A44697 | And how absurd and vain is it to have our hearts set upon that which is not? |
A44697 | And how becoming is it of a man to have spent so much of his time in doing nothing? |
A44697 | And how can the relishable sweetness of gracious principles and dispositions signifie Gods being to be enjoyed or delighted in? |
A44697 | And 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? |
A44697 | And how full of guilt is your not- delighting in God upon this account? |
A44697 | And how highly doth this increase the offence? |
A44697 | And how is he so, when you seldom have a delightful thought of him, or look to him with any pleasure? |
A44697 | And 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? |
A44697 | And how long will it be ere[ they believe me], for all the signs which I have shewed among them? |
A44697 | And if now he say to thee; After all this couldst thou take no pleasure in me? |
A44697 | And if some greater breach hereupon ensue between God and you, what becomes of your delight in him? |
A44697 | And if we should suppose the new creature alike maimed and defective, will there not be a proportionable diminution of its delight? |
A44697 | And in which respect it may fitly be said to thee, Dost thou thus requite the Lord, O foolish Creature, and unwise? |
A44697 | And 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? |
A44697 | And is not that delightsome to be increased daily with the increases of God? |
A44697 | And is not that your case? |
A44697 | And is there another way of having them composed, and of restoring delightful friendly converse, than by your seeking his Pardon, and his granting it? |
A44697 | And is this a wise provision for Eternity? |
A44697 | And is this your love to him, or delight in him? |
A44697 | And 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? |
A44697 | And 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? |
A44697 | And now, Will we assume the confidence to tell God we think on him all that we can? |
A44697 | And ought it not to fill your Souls with horror, when you consider, you take no delight in the best and sovereign Good? |
A44697 | And ought you not to smite upon the thigh then, and say, What have I done? |
A44697 | And rather chuse to suffer the pains of death than of labour, by which your Soul might yet live? |
A44697 | And shall I not add[ The Love of God?] |
A44697 | And shall this be called too delighting in God? |
A44697 | And so that their pure Gospel, as they call it, is another Gospel, nay( because there can not be another) no Gospel? |
A44697 | And the reason is plainly assigned in the foregoing words, Will he delight himself in the Almighty? |
A44697 | And then how far are we from our mark? |
A44697 | And were those only customary forms with you, and words of course? |
A44697 | And what a bondage( as well as incongruity) were that relation without delight? |
A44697 | And what cause canst thou pretend of disaffection towards him? |
A44697 | And what do you mean by it, or seem to expect? |
A44697 | And what durst thou who knowest God, or rather art known of him, neglect so great and substantial a Duty? |
A44697 | And what else have you to delight in? |
A44697 | And what else is it, but somewhat communicated and imparted immediately from God to such? |
A44697 | And what is it better to pretend to it to no purpose? |
A44697 | And what is it? |
A44697 | And what is loving God with all our mind, so expresly mentioned in that great summary of our duty towards him? |
A44697 | And what is that an absurdity that under the name of Delighting in God, the several acts and exercises of Religion besides should be comprehended? |
A44697 | And what is that? |
A44697 | And what is the course they take hereupon? |
A44697 | And what is the reason of this so great difference? |
A44697 | And what need is there of apprehending its method to be quite another in its comforting- work? |
A44697 | And what need of that, while yet there is one way to avoid it? |
A44697 | And what now is to be done in this case? |
A44697 | And what proposition is there which a regenerate person can assent to, but one who is not regenerate may assent to it also? |
A44697 | And what shall your Religion serve for, that will not answer these purposes? |
A44697 | And what state and temper of spirit would be sutable to that supposition? |
A44697 | And what then? |
A44697 | And 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? |
A44697 | And what was that? |
A44697 | And what will you say to the great obligations which the love and kindness of God have laid upon you? |
A44697 | And what, Did they therefore dejectedly languish and despond, and give themselves up to sorrow and despair? |
A44697 | And what, do you find this? |
A44697 | And what, will you take up with that delusive unconversible shadow, or be content to embrace the stiff and breathless carcase that remains? |
A44697 | And what, wilt thou delight in a God that is not thine? |
A44697 | And where is that blessedness of which ye spake? |
A44697 | And whither tends it? |
A44697 | And why should this temper of spirit in the clearer light of the Gospel be look''t upon as an unattainable thing? |
A44697 | And why should you not be resolved in this point? |
A44697 | And why towards me? |
A44697 | And will you dream and slumber all your days? |
A44697 | And yet how few are there whose spirits are formed hereby to any seriousness agreeable to that perswasion? |
A44697 | Are not some things grateful and agreeable to you, in which you can and do take complacency? |
A44697 | Are these all that thou designest, or will mind to do for thy Soul? |
A44697 | Are these like well to supply the place of living Religion? |
A44697 | Are we to suspend the exercise of this duty till we have gotten the difficult case resolved? |
A44697 | Are you altered? |
A44697 | Are you no more concerned to mind God and converse with him, than with the man you never knew, or had to do with? |
A44697 | Are you under so much obligation to any? |
A44697 | Are you wo nt to displease your selves to please him, or cross your own will to do his? |
A44697 | Are 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? |
A44697 | Art thou yet an harmless innocent creature, an honest well- meaning man for all this? |
A44697 | As 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? |
A44697 | As if the enquiry were, What it is that I desire really to enjoy when I desire to enjoy a friend? |
A44697 | Being upon both those accounts( as well as that it resembles him, and is his living Image) called a participation of the Divine Nature? |
A44697 | Bethink 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? |
A44697 | But are not all these truly Delectable? |
A44697 | But 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? |
A44697 | But do you think so to shift and wave the obligation of an universal Law upon mankind, and all reasonable nature? |
A44697 | But for what purpose are we to have that apprehension? |
A44697 | But how can this delighting in God( communicating himself) be our duty? |
A44697 | But how little, and in how low a capacity, didst thou contribute to his being in comparison of what the great God did to thine? |
A44697 | But how shall we go about it? |
A44697 | But if you do not, What do you think alienation from the life of God will come to at last? |
A44697 | But if you think that horrid, and resolve to own something or other of Religion; Will you here use your understanding, and consider? |
A44697 | But is he out of the sight of your minds? |
A44697 | But is it fit it should be always thus? |
A44697 | But is this honest dealing? |
A44697 | But 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?) |
A44697 | But so we shall bring our whole Religion within the compass of this one thing? |
A44697 | But to this I say, Was this all that your Profession was in it self apt, and by you designed to signifie? |
A44697 | But what are your hearts most apt to delight in? |
A44697 | But what did he lastly aim at in this? |
A44697 | But what pretence can there be for such dealing with the God of Truth? |
A44697 | But when he represents his Love himself( as who but God can represent the Love of God? |
A44697 | But where is this temper of spirit to be found? |
A44697 | But will God indeed dwell on the earth? |
A44697 | But you should bethink your self, What a wretch am I, that am so ill- inclin''d? |
A44697 | Can he be a God to you that is not acknowledg''d by you as your very best, the universal, and absolutely all- comprehending good? |
A44697 | Can 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? |
A44697 | Can this stand with delight in him? |
A44697 | Can you allow your selves so to interpret his Covenant, and give this as the summary account of the tenor of it? |
A44697 | Can you approve your own way? |
A44697 | Can you delight in an enemy? |
A44697 | Can 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? |
A44697 | Can you forbear with gratitude and joy to acknowledg and own it to him, that it is of his own hand that you do this? |
A44697 | Can you say, Lord, for thy sake I refrain the things to which my heart inclines? |
A44697 | Canst thou be content to look wistly on him, as one unrelated and a stranger? |
A44697 | Carries it not in it most horrid contumely and indignity to the most high God? |
A44697 | Consider, Is this still your case? |
A44697 | Consider, What doth your trust in God signifie, more than the sound of the Name? |
A44697 | Could He delight in such as you, and can not you in him? |
A44697 | Could you decline doing so without putting a slight upon his love, who is infinite in what he is, and who is love? |
A44697 | Could you have the confidence to put your self upon conversing with him as at former times, without such a preface? |
A44697 | Dare you think of throwing off his yoke? |
A44697 | Did you never find it good for you, in this way, to draw nigh to God? |
A44697 | Did you never try experiments for your pleasure? |
A44697 | Do we as we longer live by him ow him less? |
A44697 | Do we need further to be invited to a Life of delight? |
A44697 | Do we need to be prest with arguments to chuse delightful and wholesom food, rather than gall and wormwood, or even very poyson? |
A44697 | Do you aim at obeying him in these things? |
A44697 | Do you bear goodwill to him whose reproach and dishonour you are not concern''d for, yea, whom you stick not to dishonour and reproach? |
A44697 | Do you dislike thoughts of God? |
A44697 | Do you find your heart sluggish and indispos''d to any such transaction with God and Christ? |
A44697 | Do you love him whom upon all occasions you most causlesly displease; whose offence you reckon nothing of? |
A44697 | Do you not aim at a life of eternal delights with God? |
A44697 | Do you not allow your self to be licentious, earthly, vain, proud, wrathful, revengeful, though you know it will offend him? |
A44697 | Do you not desire to be better thought of? |
A44697 | Do you not disobey the known will of God in your ordinary practice without regret? |
A44697 | Do you not find your selves herein to have offended against that? |
A44697 | Do you not find, that so a wicked man( his enemy) is branded and distinguisht, God is not in all his thoughts? |
A44697 | Do you pretend to him, and know him not? |
A44697 | Do you suppose it possible, to delight in God and not think of him? |
A44697 | Does it not tend to an unlawful gratifying of the flesh, and fulfilling some lusts thereof? |
A44697 | Dost thou not see then how thou cancellest and nullifiest the obligation of all Laws, while thou hast no delight in God? |
A44697 | Dost thou think this will pass for a little offence in the solemn judgment of the great day that is drawing on? |
A44697 | Doth it decline and draw back? |
A44697 | Doth it purifie it, and check your ill inclinations, in any thing wherein they should be countermanded upon the credit of his Word? |
A44697 | Doth it quiet your heart, in reference to any affairs you pretend to commit to him? |
A44697 | Doth not He know the method and way wherein they are to be conveyed? |
A44697 | Doth not that imply that it was with the Psalmist a designed thing to meditate on God? |
A44697 | Doth not this bring us to delight in our selves? |
A44697 | Doth the Holy Ghost himself prescribe to us impertinently, in order to our obtaining of his own imparted influences? |
A44697 | For by what worse name can we call any thing than enmity to God? |
A44697 | For can men be happy in him in whom they take no delight? |
A44697 | For how can I rejoice in that whereof I have yet a doubt, whether it be what it seems or no? |
A44697 | For how just is it, to impute to it what it naturally causes, and lay its own impure and viperous births at its own door? |
A44697 | For is it our duty that he communicate himself in this way to us? |
A44697 | For is not any one more wicked according as he is more strongly inclin''d to wickedness and averse to what is good? |
A44697 | For 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? |
A44697 | For 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? |
A44697 | For what Scripture saith so? |
A44697 | For what, are these things God? |
A44697 | For wherein is it less? |
A44697 | Further, Do you not acknowledg the blessed God to be the best and most excellent Good? |
A44697 | Gods Essence? |
A44697 | Great blindness and ignorance of God; For is it possible any should have known and not have loved him? |
A44697 | Had such opportunity of knowing him, and yet be ignorant? |
A44697 | Hast thou no need of quickening influence from God? |
A44697 | Hath he not spared you, when it was in his power to crush you at pleasure? |
A44697 | Hath his prohibition any restraining force upon your hearts? |
A44697 | Have I any cause to quarrel at this? |
A44697 | Have not those been your best hours, wherein you could freely solace your selves in him? |
A44697 | Have not your thoughts of God been few? |
A44697 | Have not your thoughts of Him been low and mean, such as have imported light esteem? |
A44697 | Have not your thoughts of him been slight and transient? |
A44697 | Have there not been perverse reasonings, with dislike of his Methods of Government over men in this present state? |
A44697 | Have they not been hard thoughts; full of censure, and misjudging of his Nature, Counsels, Ways and Works? |
A44697 | Have they not been overly superficial thoughts? |
A44697 | Have ye forgotten, that ye ever thus tasted how gracious the Lord was? |
A44697 | Have you Faith in God? |
A44697 | Have 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? |
A44697 | Have you not been long at his mercy? |
A44697 | Have you not disbelieved the revelation he hath given of his Nature, and express declarations of his mind and purpose touching these matters? |
A44697 | Have you not in this neglect run counter to such instruction? |
A44697 | Have you not much the more to answer for upon this account? |
A44697 | Have you not( against his plain word) thought him irreconcilable, and averse to the accepting of any atonement for you? |
A44697 | Have you repented your Choice? |
A44697 | Have you that dependence on any Friend? |
A44697 | How cheap is the expence of a thought? |
A44697 | How contrary is this omission to what by solemn vow and astipulation you have bound your selves to? |
A44697 | How directly opposite is it to the Law of God? |
A44697 | How do things stand between him and you? |
A44697 | How do you, in this, carry towards the blessed God? |
A44697 | How far are you from that temper, Whom have I in heaven but thee, and whom do I desire on earth besides thee? |
A44697 | How 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? |
A44697 | How long will this people provoke me? |
A44697 | How 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? |
A44697 | How perverse a delight is that? |
A44697 | How plain and certain is this? |
A44697 | How strangely uncouth is it? |
A44697 | How tumultuous and disorderly a thing this your disaffection is? |
A44697 | How tumultuous and disorderly a thing this your disaffection to God is? |
A44697 | How unlike have yours been to such thoughts? |
A44697 | How vain then is that Religion by which we can neither please God nor profit our selves? |
A44697 | How variously and with how mighty demonstration hath that love exprest and evidence''t it self? |
A44697 | However, comparing what you sometime were with what you are, what difference do you observe? |
A44697 | I shall thus make nothing of my self: And what must all my natural or acquired excellencies go just for nothing? |
A44697 | If he should repent, In what case were you? |
A44697 | If not, Why take you not pleasure? |
A44697 | If not, we have no enjoyment; If any thing be, what is it? |
A44697 | If that be once understood, Hath it not in it self invitation enough? |
A44697 | If therefore it be inquired, Wherein the delight of this more imperfect sort doth consist? |
A44697 | If thou hast been always kind and indulgent, full of paternal affection towards him, Wouldst thou not think him a vile miscreant? |
A44697 | If you now begin not to live to God, when will you? |
A44697 | In what posture then are your affairs towards him? |
A44697 | Is he far from any one of us? |
A44697 | Is he not as much our Maker as he was theirs? |
A44697 | Is it a likely means of refining and bettering our spirits? |
A44697 | Is it fit to receive so much kindness with neglect? |
A44697 | Is it indeed so horrid a thing to disavow all Religion? |
A44697 | Is it less evident? |
A44697 | Is it not a greater thing that he is God, than that he is yours? |
A44697 | Is it not a merciful vouchsafement that the holy God allows you to place your delight on him, and invites you to it? |
A44697 | Is it not from God? |
A44697 | Is it not now as true, that the Lord reigneth, and is high above all the earth, and exalted far above all gods? |
A44697 | Is it not thus with you Godward? |
A44697 | Is 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? |
A44697 | Is it that reasoning is more liable to error and mistake? |
A44697 | Is not he thy Father —? |
A44697 | Is not the blessed God acknowledged to be the best good? |
A44697 | Is not the meditation of him with you an unwonted thing? |
A44697 | Is not this as sure and evident as any thing your senses could inform you of? |
A44697 | Is not your very profession then meer dissimulation and a lie? |
A44697 | Is that become no Duty which is the very sum and comprehension of all duties? |
A44697 | Is that ingenuous towards a Friend, or dutiful towards a Father or a Lord? |
A44697 | Is the matter less important? |
A44697 | Is there indeed such a Principle in you? |
A44697 | Is there not a real Delight to be had in them? |
A44697 | Is this a matter always to be waved? |
A44697 | Is this a small thing with you? |
A44697 | Is this a time to roll your self upon your slothful bed, and say, Soul, take thine ease, even upon the pits brink? |
A44697 | Is this the worse or the better? |
A44697 | It 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? |
A44697 | It is the sense of holy Souls, Whom have I in Heaven but thee? |
A44697 | It may be again said; But if God be thus to be delighted in, how can delighting in him be upon such terms our duty? |
A44697 | It may be said, Doth not all this tend to bring us, instead of delighting in God, to delight in our selves? |
A44697 | It 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? |
A44697 | It''s answered, But you disrelish not the remembrance of a Friend; Do you not the thoughts of God? |
A44697 | Know you another way to be happy? |
A44697 | Let 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? |
A44697 | Make a stand, and bethink your selves; Can you justifie your carriage towards him whom you have taken to be your God? |
A44697 | Many good works hath he done for thee; For which of these dost thou hate him? |
A44697 | May we do what we will with our thoughts? |
A44697 | Moreover, Who should delight in him but you? |
A44697 | Must you, do you see you must come to this point, of having your delight in God? |
A44697 | Nay, may''st thou not moreover truly say, that thou lovest this base impure earth more than God? |
A44697 | Not to delight in God therefore, What can it be but the very top of Rebellion? |
A44697 | Now hath not that Soul a spring of pleasure within it self, that is in these respects as God would have it be? |
A44697 | Now therefore if you did delight much in God, would you not be pressing hard after him? |
A44697 | O my people, What have I done unto thee? |
A44697 | Only it is to be considered, Do you intend to proceed in any course of Religion, or no? |
A44697 | Or can this deportment agree with habitual and the frequent actual delight in God which is requir''d? |
A44697 | Or can you think it was his meaning, and that he would expect no more from you? |
A44697 | Or didst thou do thy duty herein, by being only inclin''d to do it? |
A44697 | Or have you not been more peccant in your apprehensions of his rules and resolutions for the disposing of men as to their eternal states? |
A44697 | Or 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? |
A44697 | Or if it was, did you deal sincerely in that Treaty? |
A44697 | Or must it be done, and never be attempted? |
A44697 | Or 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? |
A44697 | Or 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? |
A44697 | Or were it not great immodesty and impudence to offer at it? |
A44697 | Or would he deceive us by misrepresenting it? |
A44697 | Or would not the inclination, if it were right, infer( or otherwise is it like to last long without) sutable exercise? |
A44697 | Or, is it less consolatory? |
A44697 | Ought it not to cut your heart to find your self convicted herein of a disobedient omission? |
A44697 | Ought not your Experience to have been instructive to you; as it commonly is to men in other matters? |
A44697 | Should not the thoughts of him be pleasant to you from whom you are expecting so great things? |
A44697 | Should not this have obtain''d in thy practice, that ought to run through and animate all the rest? |
A44697 | Surely such conceptions are not impossible to you? |
A44697 | Than which what can be said or supposed more absurd? |
A44697 | That 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? |
A44697 | That it is a differencing character of his own people, That they thought on his Name? |
A44697 | That the saying of Esaias the Prophet might be fulfilled which he spake, Lord who hath believed our report? |
A44697 | That thou disaffectest him in whom thou knowest thou shouldst delight? |
A44697 | The knowledg of God, calling upon God, The fear of God,& c. How commonly are these acknowledged to be Paraphrases of Religion? |
A44697 | There is somewhat in you that would work towards God, and you suffer it not; And is that well? |
A44697 | Therefore seriously bethink your selves, Do you delight in God or no? |
A44697 | They 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? |
A44697 | Think whither am I going? |
A44697 | This banishes delight, and drives it far away from them? |
A44697 | This yet more fully answers the enquiry when a person is said to enjoy God; what doth he immediately enjoy? |
A44697 | To 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?) |
A44697 | To love him who had loved you first? |
A44697 | To make us become our own center and rest? |
A44697 | To talk of any difficulty in the matter, is a strange impertinency; for who would oppose difficulty to necessity? |
A44697 | Was not this the case? |
A44697 | Was this indeed your meaning? |
A44697 | We 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?) |
A44697 | Well then, is the case altered with you? |
A44697 | Were you not oblig''d to love him back again, who was so much before- hand with you in the matter of love? |
A44697 | What a Soul hast thou that can live upon chaff and air, and be sustained by the wind? |
A44697 | What absurdity the several acts of Religion should be comprehended under Delight in God? |
A44697 | What can any man have greater certainty of, in a meer human way, than all men have that they must dye? |
A44697 | What could hinder you to remember him, if you were so disposed? |
A44697 | What could hinder you, if your heart were inclin''d? |
A44697 | What difference do you observe? |
A44697 | What doth it mean that our Youth is challenged to the remembrance of him? |
A44697 | What fault, that delight runs through Religion? |
A44697 | What good Principle can you have in you God ward if you have not Love to him? |
A44697 | What hath thus carnalized your minds, that you favour only the things of the flesh, and Divine things are tasteless and without relish? |
A44697 | What have I to do any more with the Idols wherewith I was wo nt to provoke thee to jealousie? |
A44697 | What have you made God an unnecessary thing to you, while the Creature, your very Idols, lying vanities, were thought necessary? |
A44697 | What is it then that hath thy delight and love? |
A44697 | What is the difference between loving God, and delighting in him? |
A44697 | What is there then at the bottom, and under the covert of your yet continued profession at such times, but falsehood? |
A44697 | What is your present temper, in it self considered? |
A44697 | What is your present temper? |
A44697 | What should hinder? |
A44697 | What was there in it not delectable? |
A44697 | What 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? |
A44697 | What were you, sometimes haters of God, and are you now come to love and delight in him, without perceiving in your selves any difference? |
A44697 | What will thy sobriety, thy justice, thy charity signifie, if thou hadst these to glory in, while thou art habitually disaffected to thy God? |
A44697 | What wouldst thou say to it if thy own Son did hate the very sight of thee, and abhor thy presence and converse? |
A44697 | What, ever learning and never arrive to this knowledg? |
A44697 | What, is our riper Age more exempt? |
A44697 | What, love him with all your soul in whom you can rarely find your selves to take any pleasure? |
A44697 | What, man? |
A44697 | What? |
A44697 | When 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? |
A44697 | When did you check and contend with your own hearts upon these accounts, as they are wo nt to do? |
A44697 | When others say, Who will shew us any Good? |
A44697 | When they care not at what expence they make provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof? |
A44697 | When we are said to enjoy God, I inquire, Is any thing communicated to us, or no? |
A44697 | Whence can your not- delighting in him proceed, but from this, as its most immediate cause? |
A44697 | Whence is the glorious excellency of this great Creation, the beauty, loveliness, pleasantness of any Creature? |
A44697 | Whereby are Habits to be known but by the frequency of their acts? |
A44697 | Whereby hath he ever disoblig''d thee? |
A44697 | Whereby would you discern your hatred towards one you did most flatly and peremptorily disaffect? |
A44697 | Whereon is thy heart set? |
A44697 | Whether you should chuse him for your portion, seek rest in him, and place upon him your delight and love? |
A44697 | While you can take no pleasure( or do take so little) in God, is there nothing else wherein you take pleasure? |
A44697 | Whither are you sunk? |
A44697 | Who 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? |
A44697 | Who gave us our Idaea of that ever blessed Being? |
A44697 | Who gave us our thinking power, or made us capable of forming a thought? |
A44697 | Who is God save the Lord, and who is a Rock save our God? |
A44697 | Who restrains or forbids me? |
A44697 | Who would not recount with delight the unexpressible felicity of living under the governing power of such a one? |
A44697 | Why do we suppose our thoughts exempt from his Government, or the obligation of his Laws? |
A44697 | Why do you not rejoice and glory in it, even as he professes to do over you? |
A44697 | Why should it be reckoned less insolent to say our thoughts, than our tongues are our own, who is Lord over as? |
A44697 | Why towards me rather than others, not naturally more vile than I? |
A44697 | Why will you distinguish your selves by so debasing a character? |
A44697 | Will it be a grateful remembrance to thee that thou wast so long hovering about the borders of Religion? |
A44697 | Will not that confound and shame thee? |
A44697 | Will that suffice you to delighting in him? |
A44697 | Will you defer till you dye your beginning to live? |
A44697 | Will you not esteem your selves to have been thereby bound to place your love and delight on him? |
A44697 | Will you pause a while and deliberate upon it? |
A44697 | With how sweet and gentle allurements hath he sought to win thy heart? |
A44697 | Worship him so oft, and worship you know not what? |
A44697 | Would it not detract much from the natural pleasure of a mans life, if he should lose an arm or a leg? |
A44697 | Would not his thoughts( once become precious to you) be also numerous, or innumerable rather, as the sands of the Sea- shore? |
A44697 | Would 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? |
A44697 | Would you not be ashamed the disposition of your heart towards him at such times should be known? |
A44697 | Would you not be very unapt to take up injurious hard thoughts of him? |
A44697 | Would you willingly be taken for such in all those long intervals wherein your actual delight in him is wholly discontinued? |
A44697 | Yea, doth it not tend to delight in him? |
A44697 | Yea, wil''t thou not see, that thine heart goes against thy Conscience all this while? |
A44697 | Yet how few( though we must suppose many convinc''t) did heartily believe in him? |
A44697 | You bend your minds and hearts another way; What are you doing then? |
A44697 | You do love God and delight in him, How do you make it appear? |
A44697 | You do not think on your absent Friends while no present occasion occurs, to bring them to your remembrance: But is God absent? |
A44697 | You have vow''d to him, What think you of this drawing back? |
A44697 | You may further say, God is out of your sight, and therefore how can it be expected you should find a sensible delight in him? |
A44697 | You often do not think on Friends with whom you have no opportunity to converse; Have you no opportunity to converse with Him? |
A44697 | You 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? |
A44697 | Your 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?] |
A44697 | a course of regular walking in through subjection to his Laws and Government? |
A44697 | and a life of pure devotedness to him? |
A44697 | and hereupon pronounce them blessed whom he did chuse, and cause to approach unto him? |
A44697 | and reckon the Earth too good to bear him? |
A44697 | and so much the worse and more vicious by how much it is more hardly overcome? |
A44697 | and that the course of my actions be as a continual sacrificing; doing all to him and for him? |
A44697 | and the fruits of the Tree of Life? |
A44697 | and the temper of your Spirit towards him is usually strange and shie? |
A44697 | and wast at the very door and wouldst not enter in? |
A44697 | and wherein have I wearied thee? |
A44697 | and whom can I desire on earth besides thee? |
A44697 | as being the first and fountain- Good, the fullest and most comprehensive, the purest and altogether unmixed, the most immutable and permanent Good? |
A44697 | as it were composed of delights? |
A44697 | casual 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? |
A44697 | especially if thou never gave him the least cause? |
A44697 | especially, if you have, or apprehend you may have nearest interest in such a creature? |
A44697 | from a good Principle or a bad? |
A44697 | his friends? |
A44697 | his sons? |
A44697 | is it indeed no duty to Love God? |
A44697 | no hunger after the heavenly hidden Manna? |
A44697 | of being really and habitually good and holy? |
A44697 | of doing good and walking in the path of life? |
A44697 | offerest violence to the very knot and juncture, wherein they all meet and are infolded together? |
A44697 | or alledg, the thing is hard which must be done? |
A44697 | or attempted, and not be resolved upon? |
A44697 | or delight in him to whom the very temper of their spirits is habitually unsutable and repugnant? |
A44697 | or have beheld his glory and not have been delighted therewith? |
A44697 | or have them useless and unserviceable? |
A44697 | or how can I delight in that I question whether I have or no? |
A44697 | or in respect whereof he hath not appeared altogether lovely? |
A44697 | or shall I not? |
A44697 | or was this indeed all that was this while to be got of God, the credit of being thought his? |
A44697 | or whereby is he said to enjoy God? |
A44697 | or will he be constantly religious? |
A44697 | or, what is most agreeable to your temper? |
A44697 | prescribed and set bounds to him, and thought your sin greater than could be forgiven? |
A44697 | such as care not for him, as value him not? |
A44697 | that it was a stated course? |
A44697 | those of his own house? |
A44697 | to dally with him as you would with an uncertain whiffling man? |
A44697 | to good or hurt? |
A44697 | to lug to and fro a dead carcase? |
A44697 | to serve thee instead of inward acquaintance with God? |
A44697 | was not his love enough to deserve yours? |
A44697 | what definition, so truly expressive of the natures of these things, can be thought, of unto which a carnal mind may not give its approbation? |
A44697 | what do we make of the God we serve? |
A44697 | what do you not now rejoice that you find your selves to offer willingly? |
A44697 | what doth God communicate or transmit, by which he may be said to be enjoyed? |
A44697 | what must we understand it to say or signifie to us? |
A44697 | what thing will you name, that shall supply the place of[ GOD] or be to you in the stead of him? |
A44697 | wherein doth that friendly and dutiful affection towards him evidence it self? |
A44697 | whither tends it? |
A44697 | whom 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? |
A44697 | will not these be wounding thoughts? |
A44697 | will not this design, if prosecuted, prove an unjustifiable self- indulgence? |
A44697 | would you not be following on to know him? |
A44697 | — Why could not we cast him out? |
A41649 | 3. Who can produce the man that did really suffer in his estate by the loss of that time, which he spent with, and for God? |
A41649 | A Saint or a sinner? |
A41649 | A believer or unbeliever? |
A41649 | Ah sinner, If the reading one leaf of this book was so dreadful to Iudas; how dreadfull and terrible will it be to thee? |
A41649 | Ah sinner, What a terrour, what a torment will this be unto thee at that great day? |
A41649 | Ah sinner, how should this prevail with thee to abandon thy sins, and to adventure on Jesus Christ as thy Lord and Saviour? |
A41649 | Ah sinner, how will it then wound thy very soul to remember thy folly in neglecting thy season, and refusing so great salvation? |
A41649 | Ah sinner, should not the bitter sting in sins tayle deter thee more, than the false beauty of its face allure thee? |
A41649 | Ah sinner, sinner, how canst thou but quake and tremble at the thought of this fire? |
A41649 | Ah sinner, sinner, whither wilt thou flee for comfort in the midst of thy distress? |
A41649 | Ah, in what a woful case will thy heart then be? |
A41649 | Alas the time on which my everlasting condition doth depend is very short: and must it not be egregious folly in me to trifle away part thereof? |
A41649 | Am I in Christ, or in my sins? |
A41649 | Am I of God or the Devil? |
A41649 | And are not Christians under the Gospel, as well as those under the Law, obliged to offer up their Morning and Evening Sacrifice? |
A41649 | And as you and yours daily partake of Gods mercies, is it not just and equal, that you all should daily bless God for the same? |
A41649 | And can we imagine that Christ who seeketh after those who go away from him, will reject any who do in truth seek after him? |
A41649 | And can we love our sins which kil''d our Saviour? |
A41649 | And do you not daily sin against God? |
A41649 | And doth not this call for thankfulness? |
A41649 | And hast thou evidence of it? |
A41649 | And hast thou lived all this while in so great danger, and wilt thou live in it still? |
A41649 | And have not you as great a charge of your family, as the Minister hath of his flock? |
A41649 | And have they not also, as such, special occasions of joyning in Prayer? |
A41649 | And how should they teach them? |
A41649 | And if Christ should be as forward to reject sinners, as they are to reject him, what hope of mercy were there? |
A41649 | And indeed how canst thou live merrily or sleep quietly, so long as thou livest in thine unregenerate estate? |
A41649 | And is he not the same yesterday, to day, and for ever? |
A41649 | And is it not pitty to lose any thing of that which is precious and short? |
A41649 | And is not this misery enough? |
A41649 | And oh what a fearfull sentence must I expect from such a wronged, cont ● m ● ed, c ● raged, righteous Iudge? |
A41649 | And oh what a joyful day will this be unto thee? |
A41649 | And shall not the fear of everlasting fire in hell, make men do any thing to escape it? |
A41649 | And shall not your Heavenly Father give to you the things whereof ye have need? |
A41649 | And sinner, dost not thou tremble, who goest on impenitently in thy wicked and ungodly courses? |
A41649 | And therefore what communion can there be between them? |
A41649 | And thou my Son Brutus, art thou one of them? |
A41649 | And what can be imagined to be the profit of mortification without vivification? |
A41649 | And what is the Worm? |
A41649 | And what more prevailing argument could he use, to perswade sinners to come unto him? |
A41649 | And when will thy prophane heart be sanctified? |
A41649 | And who greater in the New Testament than Paul? |
A41649 | And who is there that hath seriously experimented this divine exercise, who doth not find abundance of sweetness and comfort in it? |
A41649 | And why maist not thou be as soon taken away, having no Lease of thy Life? |
A41649 | And will not this poor man rise up in judgement against many of us? |
A41649 | And wilt not thou be thankfull for that which is the one thing necessary? |
A41649 | And wilt not thou be thankfull to him for thy spiritual birth? |
A41649 | And wilt thou not be as wise for thy soul, as for thy body? |
A41649 | And wilt thou not bless him for making thee a new- creature? |
A41649 | And wilt thou not bless him, that thou art not a Devil? |
A41649 | And wilt thou yet be in league with it? |
A41649 | And wilt thou yet perswade thy self that God is thine, when thou carest no more for him? |
A41649 | And wouldst thou be cured of them? |
A41649 | Are these the price of my soul, of my blood, of my peace? |
A41649 | Are these the things for which I dye? |
A41649 | Are they motions tending to the stirring thee up to any good duty omitted? |
A41649 | Are they motions tending to the working in thee a loathing and abhorring of thy former sinful lusts? |
A41649 | Are you content to dye in your present state? |
A41649 | Are you not daily subject to dangers and temptations? |
A41649 | Are you resolved with the grace and assistance of God, speedily to put your selves upon the practice of these Directions or no? |
A41649 | Are you willing to be converted? |
A41649 | Art thou a Child of God by Regeneration? |
A41649 | Art thou a sinner, a willfull and impenitent sinner, and doth not all this belong to thee? |
A41649 | Art thou a sinner, and not a pardoned sinner? |
A41649 | Art thou assaulted with the temptations of Satan, and fearest that he may get the victory over thee? |
A41649 | Art thou bound under any spiritual infirmities? |
A41649 | Art thou conscious to thy self of the weakness of thy Faith? |
A41649 | Art thou made alive? |
A41649 | Art thou sensible of the working and stirring of corruption in thee, fearing lest it should get dominion over thee? |
A41649 | Art thou willing to learn of Christ, to ask his counsel, what must I do to be saved? |
A41649 | Ask them one by one, Whether the work of Regeneration be wrought in their souls? |
A41649 | Ask thine heart this question, Is it certain there will be a day of judgement, or no? |
A41649 | Be not then faithless, but believe, and say not, What shall we eat? |
A41649 | Be undeceived betimes: how dreadfull will it be, if nothing but fire and ● ● ● mstone will bring thee to thy wits? |
A41649 | Because thou art not sure of thine election, wilt thou make thy damnation sure? |
A41649 | Between a pure God, and impure creatures? |
A41649 | Between an holy God, and unholy creatures? |
A41649 | But alas what were these to the outcryes which will be made? |
A41649 | But alas, what is a boyling Caldron to that boyling Sea of fire and brimstone? |
A41649 | But for the most part enquiring only, What have I done? |
A41649 | But hearken sinner, wilt thou escape? |
A41649 | But how fierce and dreadfull will this Furnace be, whose fire is unspeakably hotter, than that was at the hottest? |
A41649 | But how was he alone when his Discipl ● s were wi ● h h ● m? |
A41649 | But if the vileness of the work will not deterr thee, will not the dreadfulness of the wages neither? |
A41649 | But in that day the great enquiry will be, What art thou? |
A41649 | But let me ask thee, Dost thou offer up thy prayers in the name of Christ? |
A41649 | But oh what light matters are apt to steal away our minds and thoughts in the performance of holy duties? |
A41649 | But questionless in this place the word signifieth again: for so Nicodemus taketh it, verse 4. how can a man be born when he is old? |
A41649 | But some are apt to object and say, how can I pray without the Spirit? |
A41649 | But what are these to the lying in that lake which burneth with fire and brimstone to all eternity? |
A41649 | But what is a day, or an hour, or an age, to eternity? |
A41649 | But what is that to this mercy, that many thousands should fall into hell on thy right hand, and on thy left, and yet thou preserved? |
A41649 | But what saift thou, is it good for thee to be here? |
A41649 | But what was that in comparison of this? |
A41649 | But when will the folly of fools depart from them? |
A41649 | By the like means how sadly doth the Devil prevail upon souls daily? |
A41649 | By what did God make all things? |
A41649 | Can they not sanctifie God, and can they be accepted of God? |
A41649 | Canst thou expect hereafter fulness of delight in the presence of God, and yet here have no delight in him at all? |
A41649 | Canst thou expect hereafter to live in the everlasting love of God, and yet here have no true love to him at all? |
A41649 | Canst thou let all sin go but this one? |
A41649 | Canst thou think God will accept thereof? |
A41649 | Christ is the beloved Son of God, with whom he is so well pleased, that likewise in him he is well pleased with all those that come to God by him? |
A41649 | Consider how worldly men hugg their opportunities for the World; and wilt not thou embrace thy opportunities for Heaven? |
A41649 | Consider the deceitfull nature of sin, which allureth thee with shews of pleasure, profit, credit, ease, and the like? |
A41649 | Did he ever break his word with any poor soul, though never so unworthy? |
A41649 | Did he ever cast away any who came unto him? |
A41649 | Do we not see by daily experience, how Christ brings home some to himself in their old age? |
A41649 | Dost thou bridle thy tongue; set a watch over thine eyes, and ears, and steps? |
A41649 | Dost thou hear and read, and meditate on God? |
A41649 | Dost thou highly prize an Heavenly mind, and account them the best and the happiest Christians, that are much in Heaven? |
A41649 | Dost thou make nothing of the joy of a good Conscience, and the sweetness of uprightness and integrity? |
A41649 | Dost thou put off Family- prayer for the multitude of Worldly bu ● inesse ●, thereby to encrease thy wealth? |
A41649 | Dost thou put off praying with thy Family for the multitude of business? |
A41649 | Dost thou study thine heart, and govern thy thoughts and affections? |
A41649 | Doth Regeneration admit any degrees? |
A41649 | Doth it not then concern thee speedily to bestir thy self, and not to lose a minute? |
A41649 | First to the unregenerate: Is Regeneration absolutely necessary to Salvation? |
A41649 | For are the greatest sinners ofttimes received to mercy? |
A41649 | For as the Prophet Isaiah speaketh, who can dwell with devouring fire? |
A41649 | For can they that are evill, know how to give good gifts to their Children? |
A41649 | For hast thou been an Idolater, or Murderer? |
A41649 | For how are their thoughts more upon the World, and the things thereof, than on Christ? |
A41649 | For what Christian can rejoice when God deprives him of all sense and feeling of his loving favour? |
A41649 | For what can it be but egregious folly, when you are feeding your bodies, to neglect your souls? |
A41649 | For what did God see more in thee than in others, to move him to set his special love on thee? |
A41649 | For who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? |
A41649 | For wouldst thou be content to run the hazard of such torments for thy present ease? |
A41649 | For, whoever heard that the Scriptures were read, or Catechising used in any Family where Prayer was omitted? |
A41649 | Hadst thou been taken away in the state thou art in, how sad had thy case been? |
A41649 | Hast not thou said, thou wilt make this stone flesh? |
A41649 | Hast thou any foul issue of Worldliness and Covetousness, of pride or frowardness, of passion or envy, or the like running upon thee? |
A41649 | Hast thou been a Blasphemer or a Persecutor of the Saints and servants of God? |
A41649 | Hast thou been a Filthy, unclean person, wallowing and delighting like a Sow, in the filth of sin, and mire of sinfull filthiness? |
A41649 | Hast thou been an Oppressor and Extortioner, who hast got thine estate by over- reaching thy neighbours, and grinding the faces of the poor? |
A41649 | Hast thou no faith? |
A41649 | Hast thou not as much power to go into the house of God, as into an Ale- house? |
A41649 | Hast thou resolved, through the grace of God, to abandon thy lusts? |
A41649 | Hath Christ paid for my Redemption his most precious Blood, and shall I sell my soul to sin again for this fleshly pleasure, or base profit? |
A41649 | Hath Christ promised this, and will he not be as good as his Word? |
A41649 | Hath God promised, and is there no hope in the promise? |
A41649 | Hath a miracle of mercy kept thee out of hell so long? |
A41649 | Hath he bid thee come, and will he reject thee when thou comest? |
A41649 | Hath he called, come ye holy ones, come ye righteous ones, come ye strong ones, and you only shall have rest? |
A41649 | Hath he not invited the weak, and the weary also, the drooping and fainting soul? |
A41649 | Hath there been a work of grace wrought upon thee? |
A41649 | Have you not daily infirmities in your Family to be healed? |
A41649 | Have you not daily wants to be supplyed? |
A41649 | Having all thy life long broken the most holy and righteous Laws of God, what canst thou do less, than to get thine heart broken for the same? |
A41649 | Having spent many years in sinning, what caust thou do less than spend some hours in mourning and sorrowing for the same? |
A41649 | How can Adams posterity be guilty of his sin? |
A41649 | How can Heaven be matter of joy to them who are never there? |
A41649 | How can these things be? |
A41649 | How carefull would I be of duty, how watchfull against sin? |

A41649 | How did Ma ● asses imprisonment work for his good? |
A41649 | How did the poor creatures run up and down for shelter in that deluge? |
A41649 | How do their discourses run out more upon their riches, than on Christ? |
A41649 | How do they rise earlyer for their Worldly businesses, than for their Prayers, or any spiritual exercises? |
A41649 | How do they toyle and labour, spending their sweat and strength in seeking after riches? |
A41649 | How dolefull think you, will be his death? |
A41649 | How doth Christ instruct his Church? |
A41649 | How doth it concern thee to retire into some secret place, and there seriously to ponder on this day of judgement? |
A41649 | How eager and keen are their desires after the riches of this World? |
A41649 | How exactly would I order my conversation? |
A41649 | How great a fire may these little sparks kindle? |
A41649 | How is God farther set forth unto us in his Word? |
A41649 | How little care and pains have we taken to make sure for Eternity? |
A41649 | How many Gods are there? |
A41649 | How many Persons are there in the God- head? |
A41649 | How many Sacraments are there? |
A41649 | How many as strong and healthfull as thy self, have suddenly by death been snatched away? |
A41649 | How many wayes do men fall into actual sins? |
A41649 | How may we know when corruption is mortified in us? |
A41649 | How oft in each day are we bound to pray with our Families? |
A41649 | How oft would I have gathered thee? |
A41649 | How often should we Pray with our Families? |
A41649 | How open are the arms of mercy to embrace a penitent returning sinner? |
A41649 | How will it make thee with anguish of heart to cry out, Ah silly wretch, where was thine understanding, to sleight such gracious invitations? |
A41649 | How will they then beg and yell again for mercy to a judge that is justly inexorable? |
A41649 | How will they then run like men distracted to the Mountains and Hills for covert and shelter? |
A41649 | How wilt thou then endure to lye in a fiery flaming Furnace, not only an hour, or a day, but years, yea millions of years? |
A41649 | How wise are those men who prefer Temporals before their Eternals, and will advance their estates upon the ruines of their souls? |
A41649 | How would I bestir my self to work out mine own salvation? |
A41649 | How would I contemn the World and the vanities thereof? |
A41649 | I come to thy door, I lye at thy feet, a poor lost soul, an undone creature; Oh wilt thou take me in, and make me one of thy Disciples? |
A41649 | I fear I am none of thine, but wilt thou make me thine? |
A41649 | I would ask thee, whether thou canst in truth say, thou hast not been wanting to thy self in such things as were within thy power and strength? |
A41649 | Iacob complained of Labans deceit about his wages: and what wilt thou think of thy wages when the pay- day comes? |
A41649 | If Christ be so willing to receive thee, why shouldst not thou be willing to go unto him, and that with confidence of acceptance? |
A41649 | If a man knew he must lye in a flaming fire but one day or hour, Oh what fear and horror would possess his soul? |
A41649 | If any shall ask, how may I get my heart deeply affected with a sense of my miserable condition by nature? |
A41649 | If any shall ask, how their sins shall be discovered to all the World at the last and great day? |
A41649 | If it be certain; Oh then why do I not prepare for it, by breaking off my sins, and making my peace with God, before that day come upon me? |
A41649 | If it be demanded What is the profit thereof? |
A41649 | If none shall obtain grace but the worthy, who then can be saved? |
A41649 | If one short nights pain be so tedious and grievous, what will that eternal night be? |
A41649 | If the green Tree may so easily take fire, what will not the dry do? |

A41649 | If thou art not yet in a state of salvation, art thou willing to be saved? |
A41649 | If thou canst not go to Christ as a Believer, wilt thou go to him as a Sinner? |
A41649 | If thou look backward, what canst thou behold but all the filthy and abominable lusts of thy youth unrepented of? |
A41649 | If thou look beneath thee, what canst thou behold but the bottomless pit into which thou art fallen, and still falling lower? |
A41649 | If thou look downward, what canst thou behold, but hell deserved? |
A41649 | If thou look forward, what canst thou behold but sudden destruction ready to seize upon thee? |
A41649 | If thou look round about thee, what canst thou behold, but Devils and hellish furies, vexing and tormenting thee? |
A41649 | If thou look within thee, what canst thou behold, but thy conscience polluted and defiled, yea accusing and condemning thee? |
A41649 | If thou wilt no ● see the treachery of sin till it be too late to escape it? |
A41649 | If upward, what canst thou behold but a provoked, enraged God? |
A41649 | If vain and wanton thoughts be not st ● fled in the conception, what monstrous wickedness may they not bring forth? |
A41649 | If without thee, what canst thou behold, but the wicked World which thou hast too much loved? |
A41649 | If you are not yet, when will you? |
A41649 | If you ask how they shall be summoned? |
A41649 | If you ask wherein the glory of Christ shall appear? |
A41649 | If you were now breathing out your last, and just passing into another World, would you not wish you had hearkened to counsel? |
A41649 | In what estate did God make man at first? |
A41649 | Is Adams posterity guilty of that sin? |
A41649 | Is any man able to free himself out of that wofull plight whereinto he hath implunged himself by sin? |
A41649 | Is it not meet then now to begin to make Conscience of your precious time, and to improve it better? |
A41649 | Is it not the mercy of a God? |
A41649 | Is it not thus with thee? |
A41649 | Is it not thy will that I should believe thou wilt? |
A41649 | Is it thy care to please, and in all things to walk worthy the Lord? |
A41649 | Is not Regeneration of all mercies the most necessary? |
A41649 | Is not the mercy of God infinite? |
A41649 | Is not this thy Word, O Lord? |
A41649 | Is the life of God begotten in thee? |
A41649 | Is the word of God yea and nay? |
A41649 | Is there any means to free man out of his corrupt and miserable estate? |
A41649 | Is there hope, and wilt thou not lay hold on that hope? |
A41649 | Is this a state to acquiesce in? |
A41649 | Is this the state thou art so loth to be delivered from? |
A41649 | Is this thy Wisdom to sin awhile, and burn for ever? |
A41649 | Is this thy portion which hath hitherto been described? |
A41649 | It is God that justifieth; Who is he that condemneth? |
A41649 | It is found by experience that the most intelligent and best practised hearers are such, as have been well Catechised, and instructed? |
A41649 | It is naturally engrafted into all Parents to provide for their Children: what then can they want who have God for their Father? |
A41649 | Lastly, Art thou troubled with an hard and obdurate heart? |
A41649 | Let the least occasion that is be offered unto us, how easily doth it take? |
A41649 | Look back and consider, Is this thy state? |
A41649 | Lord what am I among the Sons of men, that thou shouldest have respect to me? |
A41649 | Lose not the Wind and Tide, the Wind may lye, the Tide may turn, and where art thou then? |
A41649 | Maist thou not come into his Courts, and shalt thou enter into the holy of holies? |
A41649 | May not a Godly man desire riches, seeing they are often in Scripture termed blessings, which God hath promised as a reward of his Service? |
A41649 | Nay I dare appeal to thine own Conscience, whether it be not more comfortable to serve God, than the Devil? |
A41649 | Now can carnal men thus sanctifie God? |
A41649 | Now have not governours of Families, as such, special opportunities for joynt- Prayer? |
A41649 | Now how was Christ made a sinner for us? |
A41649 | Now if it were such a grievous misery to be vexed with one Devil; what is it to be vexed and tormented with all the Legions of Devils in Hell? |
A41649 | Now what was their faith? |
A41649 | Now, how canst thou expect the participation and enjoyment of this blessed estate without regeneration and renovation here? |
A41649 | O my soul, what Talents of wrath and vengeance will this righteous provoked Iudge lay upon thee? |
A41649 | Oh but what bitter crying and shrieking will there be in hell? |
A41649 | Oh how darest thou sleep a night in that house, where God doth not dwell? |
A41649 | Oh how doth this evidence his great willingness that poor sinners should not perish, but have everlasting life? |
A41649 | Oh how many millions of Men and Women hath he suffered to live and dy in their sins, when thy soul liveth? |
A41649 | Oh how seldome do we hear carnal men asking, What have I done? |
A41649 | Oh how terrible is the thought of eternity in those tormenting flames? |
A41649 | Oh repent therefore, and turn ye from your wicked wayes, for why will ye dye and perish eternally in your sins? |
A41649 | Oh sinner, wouldst thou never come into this place of torment? |
A41649 | Oh the shrieks which then filled the air? |
A41649 | Oh then say not of Family- duties, as Iudas did of that oyntment, which Mary poured on our Saviours feet, why is this waste? |
A41649 | Oh then what is the torment, which God in his fierce wrath inflicteth on the damned in hell? |
A41649 | Oh then what stupidity and senselesness hath possessed the hearts of sinful men, who by all this are not frighted from their sins? |
A41649 | Oh then, why wilt thou trifle away the time which is properly thine; and promise to thy self great things in a time which is none of thine? |
A41649 | Oh this rock, this rock, when shall it be pierced? |
A41649 | Oh what groanings and sighings, and lamentations will afflictions press out of me: but my sins, my sins, how little do they move me? |
A41649 | Oh what terrour and trembling, what horrour and amazement will seize on their souls that have received this dreadful sentence? |
A41649 | Oh when will it once be? |
A41649 | Oh when wilt thou awake from this folly? |
A41649 | Oh who can abide this scalding wrath? |
A41649 | Oh who is able to dwell in this devouring fire? |
A41649 | Oh why wilt thou neglect so great salvation? |
A41649 | Oh wilt thou save this sinner, my sinfull soul, Lord? |
A41649 | Oh wretch that I was, oh foolish, sottish wilful wretch, how have I undone my self? |
A41649 | Oh, but what an heavy parting and separation will there be, when the one shall be set at the right hand of Christ, the other at his left? |
A41649 | Oh, how terrible will the sight of Jesus Christ as Iudge be unto all carnal and impenitent wretches? |
A41649 | One of them pittying him, could not but ask him, why he wept? |
A41649 | Only he seemed once not to regard the Woman of Canaan, But why? |
A41649 | Or in Mary Magdalen? |
A41649 | Or in Paul before their conversion? |
A41649 | Or in Zacheus? |
A41649 | Or the righteous God with unrighteous men? |

A41649 | Seeing Christ hath dyed, who is he, shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? |
A41649 | Shall I implunge my soul into eternal flames for a little pleasure and short delight? |
A41649 | Shall he promise and not perform it? |
A41649 | Shall not thy soul be avenged of such an enemy as this? |
A41649 | Shall there be no difference betwixt the Children of the Kingdom, and the Children of the wicked one? |
A41649 | Sin shall not have dominion over you, saith the Apostle, and why? |
A41649 | So much the Apostle expresseth where he saith, what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
A41649 | Soul how camest thou in hither? |
A41649 | Suppose thou wert condemned to be cast( as many of the Martyrs were) into a boyling Caldron, or flaming fire? |
A41649 | That thou shouldst no more fulfill the Lusts of the flesh, but walk in the Spirit, after the motions thereof? |
A41649 | That thou shouldst no more give thy members as Servants unto sin, but as Servants unto righteousness? |
A41649 | That which when it is once gone, all the World will not buy it back, what a cheap thing is it accounted? |
A41649 | The pains of my body I can feel and roar under, but O what a stock am I under, the plague of my heart? |
A41649 | The time which you have already lost can never be recalled? |
A41649 | This Christ requireth of every true Christian: for, saith he, speaking to his Disciples, What do ye more than others? |
A41649 | Thou art no longer contentious, or quarrelsome: but art thou a peace- maker? |
A41649 | Thou art no longer earthly; but art thou heavenly minded? |
A41649 | Thou art not unjust,( thou sayest) but doest thou shew mercy? |
A41649 | Thou hast no longer fellowship with the ungodly, but art thou a familiar of the Saints? |
A41649 | Thou wilt not now curse, or swear, or lye, or scoff, but dost thou pray and bless? |
A41649 | Though their houses be never so well furnished, yet what comfort and content can there be found therein, when the curse of God is in them? |
A41649 | Though thou wilt, live the life, yet art thou content to dye the death of the obstinate and hardned? |
A41649 | To like purpose said God to his Prophet Ieremy for the strengthening his faith, Behold I am the Lord of all flesh, is there any thing too hard for me? |
A41649 | To what heads may the works of God be brought? |
A41649 | Truth, Lord, my sins are many and hainous: but this is my comfort, that Jesus Christ came into the World to save sinners, and why not me? |
A41649 | Unless the image of God be renewed upon thee in holiness? |

A41649 | Wouldst thou not be enticed to sin? |
A41649 | Yea with what freedom and delight do they talk of their wealth, and of the means of getting and increasing the same? |
A41649 | Yet this let me say to thee also, if thou hast not faith, wilt thou go to Christ for faith? |
A41649 | You ask, why may I not be saved, unless I be regenerated? |
A41649 | a slave to a lust? |
A41649 | and how would knowledge and grace abound in your Children and Servants? |

A26955 | And do I need to tell you what a powerful incentive it is to Love, to know that you are beloved? |

A26955 | And doth so much of our work and of your recovery lie upon this point and yet shall we not be able to ac ● complish it? |
A26955 | And hence come suspitions, and murmurrings against them, and Corah''s censures,[ Ye take too much upon you: Are not all the people holy?] |
A26955 | And how frowardly do they reject the wisest counsel, and cast the medicine with unthankfull indignation into the face of the Physicion? |

A26955 | And if you can not be saved in an unrenewed unjustified state, is it not needful that you know it? |
A26955 | And is a man like to be saved by the word, while he hateth it, and bends his thoughts and passions all against it? |
A26955 | And is he a man, or some monster that wants a name, that will go on to Hell, when he seeth it as it were before him? |
A26955 | And is it not pitty that the celestiall undeceving Light should be abused to so dangerous selfdeceit? |

A26955 | And will he refuse thee? |
A26955 | And will you refuse this Mercy, and by no entreaty yield to have it, and yet think to be saved by it? |
A26955 | And will you reproach God or his word or works, or Ministers, with that which is the matter of his Praise? |
A26955 | And will you say, We preach not Mercy, because we tell you, that Mercy will not save you, if you continue to reject it? |
A26955 | And would not a man think that such words as these should waken the guilty soul that doth believe them? |

A26955 | But a Pharisee will say[ Are we blind also?] |
A26955 | But how came they to continue thus ignorant of themselves till it was too late? |
A26955 | But if it be true, tell me, Why would you not know it? |
A26955 | But if you are unregenerate and unjustified, what will you do at death and judgement? |
A26955 | But if you confess it to be true, do you think in reason, it should be silenced? |
A26955 | But if you confess that once you were children of wrath, my next Question is, Whether you know how and whe ● you were delivered from so sad a state? |

A26955 | Can a man forbear thus to fly from Hell, if he saw that he is as near it as a condemned Traytor to the Gallows? |
A26955 | Can not the company of imperfect mortals serve your ● urn? |
A26955 | Can not you endure to know your sin and misery, and yet can you endure to bear it? |

A26955 | Could not I heave plaid the beast without a Reasonable free- working soul? |
A26955 | Could they thinke the greatest care and labour of so short a life to be too much for the securing of their salvation? |

A12186 | And shall we shew our thankefulnesse, in provoking his Majestie? |
A12186 | And shall we thinke so great a Mysterie as this was for small purpose? |
A12186 | And shall we thinke, so great a matter was for small purpose; for little sinnes, or for few sinnes onely? |
A12186 | And so in the Veile of the Tabernacle, the Veile had round about it Pictures of Cherubins: What did that shaddow out unto us? |
A12186 | And that proud Historian Tacitus, how scornfully doth he speake of Christians? |
A12186 | And then we will not be fruitfull: for who is so fruitfull a Christian as hee that is thankfull? |
A12186 | And then whatsoever good thing wee have in Christ, it comes freely too, hee that gave Christ freely, shall hee not with him give us all things too? |
A12186 | And then, what was there in us that should move him to abase himselfe so low; was there any worth in us? |
A12186 | And those that say they know it enough, deceive themselves, they know it not: Religion is a Mysterie; and can it be learned at the first? |
A12186 | And whence is it, that our persons are become lovely to God? |
A12186 | And why in Christ? |
A12186 | And why in that Person? |
A12186 | And why is that called a Mysterie? |
A12186 | And, shall I defile this flesh of mine, that I professe to be a member of Christ? |
A12186 | Are there not thousands that sit in darknesse? |
A12186 | Are they not now so? |
A12186 | Are they true? |
A12186 | Are we cast downe and no man regards us? |
A12186 | Are we overpowered? |
A12186 | Are we perplexed, that we want wisdome? |
A12186 | Are we troubled with the sense of sin? |
A12186 | Are we wronged? |
A12186 | As a wise Physitian he purgeth a foule body, till he bring it almost to skin and bone: but why? |
A12186 | As for the Holy- Ghost, how can they looke for comfort from him? |
A12186 | As soone as ever he wa ● borne, when they appeared to the Shepheard, what a glorious Hymne they sang? |
A12186 | Aske a man that is spiritually poore before he be in Christ; what would you have? |
A12186 | Before Christs time, they were Dogges, in our Saviour Christs censure; Shall I give the Childrens Bread to Dogges? |
A12186 | But Christ being God, was it needfull that he should become poore, might not an Angell, or some other creature have served for the worke? |
A12186 | But hath Reason no use then in the Gospel? |
A12186 | But here is another Mysterie; Why the Gentiles, being all alike naught, God should leave the better of the Gentiles, and reveale Christ to the worst? |
A12186 | But how doth he take up the contention? |
A12186 | But how shall I come to have Christ manifest in my flesh? |
A12186 | But is it possible for God to forgive such a wretched sinner, that hath beene a blasphemer,& c? |
A12186 | But is not he richer that hath a fountaine, then he that hath but a cesterne? |
A12186 | But is the Doctrine of the Gospel it selfe onely a Mysterie? |
A12186 | But is there no staggering, is there no formido contrarij, is there no feare that it may be otherwise? |
A12186 | But more particularly, How a Mysterie of iniquitie? |
A12186 | But more particularly, what be the riches that we have by the poverty of Christ? |
A12186 | But must nothing be preached but Christ? |
A12186 | But must we not be liberall, and kind, and bountifull to all? |
A12186 | But when did he take upon him our nature? |
A12186 | But why doth he joyne afflicted and poore together? |
A12186 | But you will say, How can the Angels helpe our soules any kind of way? |
A12186 | But you will say; Gods children fall into inconveniencies, how then are they attended by Angels? |
A12186 | But, why did God suffer the Gentiles to walke in their owne wayes? |
A12186 | Can not he send beames and influence from thence, to cherish the Earth? |
A12186 | Can that be true riches that makes a man poorer, that hath not a gracious heart? |
A12186 | Christ carries our names in his heart: how can he forget us then? |
A12186 | Christ clothes me with his righteousnesse, and shall not I cloth Christ in his poore members? |
A12186 | Christ is the Pearle of the Ring, Christ is the maine, the Center wherein all those Lines end: take away Christ, what remaines? |
A12186 | Christ must be preached, But to whom? |
A12186 | Christ tooke up his Disciples, when they sayd; Oh, Master, what kind of stones are here? |
A12186 | Christ( as I said) cam ● not to make ● s rich in the things of this life: for doe but consider a little of outward riches, what be they? |
A12186 | Did Christ doe this, that thou shouldest be a proud person? |
A12186 | Did it draw him to take my nature and flesh on him? |
A12186 | Did they not keepe their words better? |
A12186 | Do they know that there is a God, a Christ, and mercy? |
A12186 | Doe but conceive in your owne selves, what equity is it, that Truths should be obtruded to men that care not for them? |
A12186 | Doe we professe our selves to be Christians, and live like Pagans? |
A12186 | Doe we think to have communion with Christ in glory, and not get the victorie over these base courses? |
A12186 | Doth God esteeme such poore? |
A12186 | Doth all that we have in Christ, come from grace, the grace in us, and comforts, and outward things meerely from grace? |
A12186 | Doth mercy and grace teach them that lesson? |
A12186 | Doth not the grace of God teach this as well as the Law, and from a higher ground? |
A12186 | Doth the Sunne in the Heavens come downe to the Earth, to make the Spring, and to make all fru ● tfull? |
A12186 | Even as the Virgin Mary she conceived Christ, when she yeelded her as ● ent ▪ When the Angell spake to her, what sayth she presently? |
A12186 | Finally Brethren, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,& c. Think of these things, and what then? |
A12186 | First, 1 what is their relation to us? |
A12186 | First, we were delivered from Heathenisme: what kind of people were we in Iulius Caesars time? |
A12186 | For him to be so abased, as there was never any abasement like unto Christs, because of the greatnesse of his Person? |
A12186 | For this very cause, some are sick and some weake, and some sleep, some die: Why? |
A12186 | God hath us in his eye; he sets his children before him alway: how can he forget them? |
A12186 | God is ours, the Spirit is ours, Heaven is ours, the Earth is ours; Afflictions, Life, Death, Paul, Apollo, the Angels themselves, all is ours: Why? |
A12186 | Hallowed be thy name; and what is the end that we were created and redeemed for, but that God may have some glory by us? |
A12186 | Hath God such need of people, to fill heaven with, that he will have such uncleane persons? |
A12186 | Hath not God chosen the poore of this world, rich in faith? |
A12186 | He became of no reputation, and wilt thou stand upon termes of credit? |
A12186 | He hath made himselfe knowne to be All- sufficient, what a world of comfort is in that? |
A12186 | He overcame the Devill, in his temptations: Who can overcome the Devill, but he that is the Sonne of God? |
A12186 | He that will not part with a penny, for the gayning of a thousand pound; doth he beleeve, that he shall have so much? |
A12186 | He tooke upon him the forme of a servant, and wilt thou be altogether a Lord and King in thy affections,& not serve thy brethren? |
A12186 | He was apprehended as a Male- factor, but he struck them all down with his word, Whom seeke yee? |
A12186 | He was made a Curse for us: How came Christ to be cleared of our sinnes, that lay upon him? |
A12186 | How are we advanced above them? |
A12186 | How are wee made rich by the poverty, and abasement of Christ? |
A12186 | How barren have wee beene in good works? |
A12186 | How can Christ forget his Church? |
A12186 | How can an unsanctified soule close with a holy God? |
A12186 | How can we thinke, that Christ will owne us, when we will not owne Religion here? |
A12186 | How can wee live well, and dye comfortably without it? |
A12186 | How did we fall from God at the first, that was our Rock, our defence and trust? |
A12186 | How doe they justifie their profession? |
A12186 | How doe we justifie Christ? |
A12186 | How doe we justifie our selves? |
A12186 | How doe we know Divine Truths now? |
A12186 | How have we failed in bringing honour and credit to our profession? |
A12186 | How holy and pure is God? |
A12186 | How is Christ to be beleeved on? |
A12186 | How is that? |
A12186 | How is that? |
A12186 | How joyfull were they of the Incarnation of Christ, and the great Worke of Redemption, wrought thereby? |
A12186 | How many discouragements had blessed Abraham to leave his fathers house, and to goe he knew not where; and after to sacrifice his sonne? |
A12186 | How shall this be? |
A12186 | How shall we bring our soules to this so necessary a duty? |
A12186 | How shall we carry our selves that we may improve Christs riches; to be made rich in grace by him? |
A12186 | How shall wee bee able to go to God? |
A12186 | How shall wee come to know this Mysterie as wee should, and to carry our selves answerable? |
A12186 | How shall wee know that we are sufficiently humbled, and made poore in spirit? |
A12186 | How sweet is thy goodnesse? |
A12186 | I but what followes, what doth that grace teach thee? |
A12186 | I send you( sayth Christ) as Sheepe among Wolves: and how? |
A12186 | If Turks and Heathens should see them, they would say; You talke of Religion, but where is the power of it? |
A12186 | If a man were to go through a storme for some great matter, if he did beleeve he should have some great preferment, would he not ad ● enture? |
A12186 | If any newes or tydings be of any great hard matter; I beseech you who hath his soule best composed at that time? |
A12186 | If he have given us his Sonne, will he not with him give us all things else? |
A12186 | If hee had stood upon termes, and disdeyned the Virgins wombe, and to become poore for us, where had our salvation beene? |
A12186 | If hee have given us such a pawne as CHRIST, who is riches it selfe, shall he not with him give us all other things? |
A12186 | If we be not members of Christ, woe unto us: and if we be, doe such courses suit with such a neerenesse to Christ? |
A12186 | If wee doe not make our peace with God, 2 what a case are we in? |
A12186 | If when we were enemies wee were reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne; how much more being reconciled shall wee bee saved by his life? |
A12186 | If you come to a poore man that labours for his living, and aske him, why doe you labour so? |
A12186 | In a word, the greatnesse of the ill we were in, required it: who could deliver us from the bondage of Sathan, but God? |
A12186 | In his owne blessed Sonne; and who come neerest in his delight to his Sonne? |
A12186 | Indeed, we are in Christ above Angels, advanced higher then Angels,( what cause have we to prayse God?) |
A12186 | Is Christ taken up to glory, and for us, as well as for himselfe; what manner of men ought we to be in holy conversation? |
A12186 | Is he not in heaven in majesty, to apply all that he hath gotten? |
A12186 | Is he not our intercessor at the right hand of God, to appeare before God for us to make all good? |
A12186 | Is he so? |
A12186 | Is it a dead favour? |
A12186 | Is it not equall? |
A12186 | Is it not so in divine things? |
A12186 | Is it so, that Religion is a Mysterie? |
A12186 | Is not a little peace of conscience, and joy in the Holy Ghost, and assurance that God is ours, worth all worldly things? |
A12186 | Is not he wiser, to know what is good for us, better then we doe for our selves? |
A12186 | Is not here the greatest reason in the world, to beleeve him that is Truth it selfe? |
A12186 | Is that all? |
A12186 | Is there any fuller of love, and mercy, and grace then he: that hath made himselfe poore to make us rich? |
A12186 | Is there but a few, but a remnant in all times? |
A12186 | Is this flesh of mine now in Heaven, sitting at the right hand of God? |
A12186 | Is this the power that raysed Christ from the dead, when by the strength of nature men can doe it? |
A12186 | Is this the way to be thankefull to God? |
A12186 | It is comfort enough that it is called seed: who grieves to cast his seed into the ground? |
A12186 | It is not so in mens matters? |
A12186 | It is said of the Pharises in the Gospel, that when Christ spake great matters, they scoffed at him: But what sayth the Text? |
A12186 | It is with such men as with those that gathered Mannah, when they should not; it stanke: Hath God set up an Ordinance for nothing; for us to despise? |
A12186 | It was fit there should be a time of Christs abasement; how should he have suffred else? |
A12186 | Let a man be great in the world, if it be not from the grace of God, what is it? |
A12186 | Let a man be rich, if he have it not from the love and mercy of God, what will all be in time, but snares? |
A12186 | Must Christ come downe in his Body to us, or else he can doe us no good? |
A12186 | Must there be a corporeall descent, or else we can receive no influence from him? |
A12186 | Must we needs make him bodily present every where, as the Papists doe, and other Heterodox strange conceited men, in Germanie? |
A12186 | My soule doth magnifie the Lord, and my spirit rejoyceth in God my Saviour, she begins with magnifying the Lord, but what was the ground? |
A12186 | No, we were Christs enemies: was there any desire in us? |
A12186 | No, we were dead in sins: was any goodnesse in us? |
A12186 | No, we were dead: was there any strength in us? |
A12186 | Nothing we brought into this world, and with nothing we must goe out; and are they true riches that determine in this life? |
A12186 | Now how doth providence serve the decree of election? |
A12186 | Now is there any greater or more excellent person then Christ? |
A12186 | Now, if a man beleeve this, can he be base and earthly- minded? |
A12186 | Now, wee are to draw neere to God in the Sacrament, and the neerer to God, the more we honour him: who honours God most? |
A12186 | Now, what a King is that, that hath a Guard of Angels? |
A12186 | Now, what power is in the lives of most men? |
A12186 | Oh Lord, extend the bowels of thy mercy, will not the Lord be jealous of his glory, when you alleage it? |
A12186 | Oh, but what need much, lesse would fere he turne? |
A12186 | Oh, how doth S. Paul, in every Epistle, stirre up people to be thankfull, for revealing these Mysteries? |
A12186 | Oh, sayth Christ, Are these the things you wonder at? |
A12186 | Oh, what a goodly order they have among them, one under another? |
A12186 | Or how shall he be comfortable, excep ● he know that he hath interest in Christ? |
A12186 | Riches what? |
A12186 | S. Paul sayth, he was jealous with a holy jealousie over those he taught: why? |
A12186 | S. Paul? |
A12186 | Shall Angels see and wonder at these things? |
A12186 | Shall I abuse it, as intemperate persons doe? |
A12186 | Shall I have base conceits of any man, whose flesh Christ hath taken? |
A12186 | Shall I make it the member of an harlot? |
A12186 | Shall I stoupe to him? |
A12186 | Shall I wrong him now he is in Heaven? |
A12186 | Shall it be the joy of Angels, and shall it be our sorrow, the welfare and thriving of others spiritually or outwardly? |
A12186 | Shall not any condition content a man in this world, that hath such a glorious condition in the eye of Faith to enter into? |
A12186 | Shall they wonder at it, and joy and delight in it; and shall we slight those things, that are the wonderment of Angels? |
A12186 | Shall we be mooved with the disgracefull speeches of carnall men? |
A12186 | Shall we carry our selves thus prophanely at these times, when we should walke in a holy disposition? |
A12186 | Shall we defile our selves with sinfull courses,& make our selves baser then the Earth we tread on, worse then any creature? |
A12186 | Shall we despise the worke of regeneration, and the image of God in another? |
A12186 | Shall we disdain to relieve them, that the Angels doe not disdaine to comfort? |
A12186 | Shall we have such base thoughts of heaven? |
A12186 | Shall we thinke to have communion and fellowship with Christ in glory, when we make the members of Christ the members of Harlot? |
A12186 | Shall we wish for a severed condition from him? |
A12186 | Shall we, out of disdaine and envie, think our selves too good to doe any thing, when it is the delight of Angels? |
A12186 | So Moses, to leave the Court, and to cleave to a despised people; what a worke of Faith was there? |
A12186 | So as I can not tell how, I can not expresse it, and, What love hath God shewed us, that we should be called the sonnes of God? |
A12186 | So it is the nature of shallow men, to wonder at the things of this world, to be taken with emptie vaine things: Are these the things we wonder at? |
A12186 | So when he speakes of the fruits of the Gospel, what strange words the Scripture hath? |
A12186 | So, what is the Church? |
A12186 | So, who is this that is taken up in glory; is it not he that was manifest in our flesh before? |
A12186 | Some are ready to say; Can not I as well reade privatly, at home? |
A12186 | Some may say, How doth it appeare, that Christ is King of the Church? |
A12186 | Take away grace the free favour of God, extract this quintessence; take the love of God out of things, what are they? |
A12186 | Take heed of pride: God himselfe emptied himselfe, and wilt thou be full of pride? |
A12186 | Thanksgiving is a Sacrifice, with which God is well pleased: is it so? |
A12186 | That I shall not go the broad way to destruction? |
A12186 | That he should become a poore and weake man? |
A12186 | That he whom Heaven and Earth can not comprehend, should be inclosed in the Wombe of a Virgin? |
A12186 | That it is a Mysterie, it will easily appeare: For, was it a great Mysterie, that God should take our nature upon him, to be abased in it? |
A12186 | That the great God should take upon him a Piece of Earth? |
A12186 | That the love thou bearest to me, may bee in them; what a sweet comfort is this? |
A12186 | The Angels will for ever love, and honour, and attend us: why? |
A12186 | The Church it selfe is a mysticall thing: For under basenesse, under the scorne of the world, what is hid? |
A12186 | The Romish Church, is it not under the Mysterie of Iniquitie? |
A12186 | The Sacrament is bane and poyson to us, if wee come without repentance: What saith the Apostle? |
A12186 | The Sunne doth more good, being in Heaven, then he could doe if he were on the Earth; if the Sun were lower, what wou ● d become of the Earth? |
A12186 | The Sunne is a most glorious creature, the most visible object of the world; what is that to a blind man, that hath skales on his eyes? |
A12186 | The grace of God hath appeared in Christ, what? |
A12186 | The immortall God to take upon him our flesh, and to dye? |
A12186 | The power that raysed Christ from the dead? |
A12186 | The prayers of such men, that would crie downe this Ordinance, how are they like to be accepted? |
A12186 | The worke of salvation as it is from Christ, so it is from the grace of Christ; therefore it was free and voluntary: what so free as grace? |
A12186 | The world presents terrors; what are these, to the glorie that shall be revealed? |
A12186 | Then againe the world should not stand, were it not for a company in the world that are his: for what are others? |
A12186 | Then we give God glory, when we set light by life it selfe, as holy Saint Paul could say, What, doe you tell me of suffering at Ierusalem? |
A12186 | There will be alway a Church in the world, that is the object of our beleefe: what is the meaning of it? |
A12186 | Therefore if we would trust God, and go to God boldly; as who is there here now that will not have need of him? |
A12186 | Therefore it is called the Ministery of the Spirit; why? |
A12186 | Therefore let us examine our selves, am I in the favour of God and of Christ? |
A12186 | Therefore, aske thy soule; hast thou sued out thy pardon? |
A12186 | These God will have in the Church together; the Mysterie of Godlinesse, and Vngodlinesse; of Christ, and Antichrist: Why? |
A12186 | They saw him with wonderment: 1 For, was it not a wonder, that God should stoupe so low, as to be shut up in the straits of a Virgins Wombe? |
A12186 | This is the wisdome of the Saints of God are we in extremity? |
A12186 | Those therefore that swell, and storme, and murmure, and rage, what doe they get but more stripes? |
A12186 | To come to an use of tryall, how shall wee know wither Gods good will be to us in Christ, or no? |
A12186 | To comfort and relieve one another, it is the worke of an Angel: Shall any man thinke himselfe too good to helpe any poore Christian? |
A12186 | To what purpose is this fulnesse in him? |
A12186 | To whom is Christ justified by the Spirit? |
A12186 | Vpon what acquaintance? |
A12186 | Was not here exceeding wondrous love and mercie to man kind, to wretched man, having passed by the glorious Angels that were fallen? |
A12186 | Was our nature advanced, in his Incarnation? |
A12186 | Was the Church ever more glorious then in Babylon, when Daniel was there, and the three young men were put into the fire? |
A12186 | Was there ever any man fierce against God, and prospered? |
A12186 | Was there ever any, that set themselves against the Church of God, and prospered? |
A12186 | Was there no other way to make us rich but by Christs becomming poore? |
A12186 | Wat need he be Redemption, if we were not lost and sold in our selves to Satan, and under his bondage? |
A12186 | We are predestinate, to be comformable to Christ, wherein stands our conformitie? |
A12186 | We have whatsoever we have, by vertue of the Covenant: for what could wee looke for from God but in Covenant, wherein he hath bound himselfe? |
A12186 | We know it was the speech of wicked Cain; Am I my brothers keeper? |
A12186 | We professe our selves to be the children of God, the Heires of Heaven, What peculiar thing doe we? |
A12186 | Were not Socrates, and Plato, and such like, more goodly Moralists then the Corinths,& Ephesians? |
A12186 | Were they not from his Divine Power? |
A12186 | Were they so loose in their lives, and conversations; and so licentious? |
A12186 | What a comfort is this at the houre of death, and at the death of our friends, that they are gone to Christ, and to glory? |
A12186 | What a devillish qualitie is envie and pride, that stirres us up to disdaine to be usefull one to another, especially to those that are inferiours? |
A12186 | What a devillish sinne then is envie, and pride, and disdaine? |
A12186 | What a linking together of things? |
A12186 | What a mercie and love was this? |
A12186 | What a wise fabricke it is? |
A12186 | What a wrong is this to the grace of Christ? |
A12186 | What are the Mysteries of Nature, the Miracles of Nature, the Loadstone,& c. to these supernaturall Mysteries? |
A12186 | What are those Attributes? |
A12186 | What be they? |
A12186 | What can he foresee in persons that were dead? |
A12186 | What can the world set before the soule of a beleever, that is not beneath? |
A12186 | What cause have the Gentiles, that were in the shaddow of death before, to be thankfull to God? |
A12186 | What could God see in me to single me out of the rest, out of a great number that go the broad way to destruction, to set his love upon me? |
A12186 | What credit to religion? |
A12186 | What doth the horse get at last by shaking off his Rider that is skilfull? |
A12186 | What doth this appearing of grace teach us? |
A12186 | What good will come by this? |
A12186 | What hast thou to doe( saith God) to take my name into thy mouth, to take my Sacrament into thy mouth, when thou hatest to be reformed? |
A12186 | What have I in me to evidence that God hath set his stampe upon me to be his? |
A12186 | What have I to evidence to me that I am of that little flock that is Christs? |
A12186 | What if God be mercifull in Christ? |
A12186 | What if God take away a great deale of these things, and make them up in favours of a higher kinde? |
A12186 | What if a man have no body by him when he dies, but God and his good Angels, to carry his soule to Heaven, is he neglected? |
A12186 | What in this world can fall very uncomfortably to such a man? |
A12186 | What is a Mysterie? |
A12186 | What is grace? |
A12186 | What is great in this world to him, to whom Christ is great; to whom, Heaven and the Mysteries of Religion are great? |
A12186 | What is it that troubles many when they come to dye? |
A12186 | What is it to acknowledge him? |
A12186 | What is more opposed, then the Mysterie of Godlinesse? |
A12186 | What is peace? |
A12186 | What is the Gospell? |

A12186 | What? |
A12186 | Whatsoever ill we endure, there shall be comfort mixed with it, and it is better to have it, then the comfort: what a comfort is this? |
A12186 | Whe ● ce is that, that we can call God, Father? |
A12186 | When Christ comes, shall he find Faith in the world? |
A12186 | When he entred into a depth that he could not fathome, doth he cavill at it? |
A12186 | When he nakedly beleeves the grounds of Divine Truth, the Articles of the Faith, when he can patter them over, doth that make a true Christian? |
A12186 | When the Church is under any abasement, at the lowest, it hath a glorious Head in Heaven, and what, doth he sit there, and do nothing? |

A12186 | Why come we under the shaddow of Gods wing? |
A12186 | Why do I hope for the glory to come? |
A12186 | Why doe I love God? |
A12186 | Why doe we call Faith, Hope, and Love, graces, but because they issue from the mercy, and favour, and love of God in Christ? |

A12186 | Why should a believer feare that God will cast him away? |
A12186 | Why was he manifest in the flesh, and why is there an Ordinance of Preaching? |
A12186 | Why? |
A12186 | Why? |
A12186 | Will Christ endure this? |
A12186 | Will God overturne his methode, and order, for our sakes? |
A12186 | Will he not advance those that are troden on now, and made as the dirt in the street, that they shall shine as the Sunne? |

A12186 | Would Pagans live as many men doe? |
A12186 | Would they sweare by their gods idly? |
A12186 | Would we see all in Christ, that we have riches, and wisdome, and happinesse, and favour, and life, and all in him? |
A12186 | Yes: Doe I beleeve them to be so, or no? |
A12186 | Yet how few give God praise, that hath had mercie on us Gentiles, that hath delivered us from Gentilisme and from the darkenesse of Poperie? |
A12186 | You will say, How can he be pittifull? |
A12186 | and if we stand upon termes when wee are to suffer for him or to stand for his cause; where will our comfort be? |
A12186 | and indispose our selves to all goodnesse? |
A12186 | and is there not the force of a cause in the second Adam, to convey grace and glory to his, he being God& man? |
A12186 | and that we should not labour to finde our portion in that love? |
A12186 | and to make us wise, then he that was the wisedome of God himselfe? |
A12186 | and what is praise, but the turning of a truth into praise? |
A12186 | and what is the glory to which God loves us? |
A12186 | and why art thou troubled? |
A12186 | and( as I said before) why doe we call any benefit we have a grace? |
A12186 | as the Gadarens, to save their Hogs, they would loose Christ: shall wee make choice of poore things, and leave grace, and Christ? |
A12186 | beleeve them: Are they good? |
A12186 | believe in him, and obey him, and thou puttest that question out of question: thou doubtest whether God love thee or no? |
A12186 | did the love of God draw him into the Wombe of the Virgin? |
A12186 | doth he not love us, with the same love that hee loves his Son? |
A12186 | ere long whence shall hee hope for comfort? |
A12186 | for what ground have they respect to us at all? |
A12186 | from the love of God founded in Christ? |
A12186 | had he any sin of his own? |
A12186 | here is matter of joy, and shall we be beholding to the Devill for joy, when we should rejoyce for Christ? |
A12186 | his Spouse, and thus used? |
A12186 | his Turtle, and thus pulled and plucked by the Birds of prey? |
A12186 | is it not by opening the riches of Gods love in Christ, in the Scriptures? |
A12186 | is it the sweet love of God in Christ, the excellent state we have in Christ? |
A12186 | is that the reasoning of the Scriptures? |
A12186 | is there reconciliation wrought betweene God and thee, and accounts made even? |
A12186 | is this flesh of mine taken into unitie with the second Person? |
A12186 | it is said, We are come to the innumerable multitude of Angels: What is the meaning of that? |
A12186 | my heart is not fit to conceive Christ in; there is nothing in it, but deadnesse, and darknesse, and dulnesse, and rebellion? |
A12186 | nay, in persons that were in a contrary disposition to goodnesse? |
A12186 | only that he is borne? |
A12186 | shall we, insteed of repenting, runne further and further into guilt? |
A12186 | that Christ should humble himselfe so low, to be God in our flesh? |
A12186 | that he made him crie out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A12186 | that is, what a separation is there, in the nature of God from sin, considering that he so punished it in his Son, our Surety? |
A12186 | that made him cry out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A12186 | there is nothing but enmity in our nature, to supernaturall goodnesse, can God foresee grounds of love in enmity? |
A12186 | they may helpe our outward man, or the State where we live; but what good doe they to the inward man? |
A12186 | to teach us to live as we list, and to be more disordered then at other times? |
A12186 | what are our bodies, and soules in comparison of God? |
A12186 | what can we looke for now by his riches, that have so much by his poverty? |
A12186 | what comfort is it that we goe on the earth ▪ and enjoy the comforts that God gives us in this world, and then to perish for ever? |
A12186 | who can dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A12186 | who can have communion with God, who is a consuming fire? |
A12186 | who was fitter to restore us to the Image of God, then he that was the Image of God himselfe? |
A12186 | will not the thing it selfe yeeld matter of rejoycing? |
A12186 | ● od the Father will delight in us, because we are like the Son of his delight; whom doth God delight most in? |
A13554 | 1.16? |
A13554 | 1? |
A13554 | 2. Who can repaire nature depraved, but the Authour of nature? |

A13554 | An ex personis probamus fidem, an ex fide personas? |
A13554 | And I, saith the poore man, can spare no time as the rich may doe, I am oppressed with a great charge, and must intend my family,& c? |
A13554 | And can we beholde any creature, and not see in it the expresse prints and markes of our owne sinne, which still must adde to our griefe? |
A13554 | And for what prayeth he? |
A13554 | And good reason: for 1. in the beginning of this worke man is meerely passive: for what can a dead man doe to his owne quickning and raising? |
A13554 | And if they faile herein, are they not guilty of all his defects which they complaine of? |
A13554 | And is not this like effectuall calling? |
A13554 | And shall Christians onely looke on these things as they, to make our selves inexcusable? |
A13554 | And shall not beleevers in the new Testament honour the Prophets of the new Testament, who as good lampes consume themselves to give others light? |

A13554 | And what thinkest thou? |
A13554 | And whether darest thou say, thou glorifiest God by them? |
A13554 | And whither are wee called? |
A13554 | And who else can revive the heart, but he that made it? |
A13554 | And why? |
A13554 | And why? |
A13554 | Are all things to be tried without restraint or limitation? |
A13554 | Are not the numbers of Papists increased upon us, notwithstanding all the lawes against them? |
A13554 | Are not their workes objected against them, the workes of God imposed by God upon all Christians upon paine of damnation? |
A13554 | Are the Sacraments but as seales set to blankes without this assurance, and is it yet needlesse? |
A13554 | Are there not they that mingle not a little leaven, but abundance of poyson of Popery, and father it upon our Church? |
A13554 | Are these the sonnes of Abraham, or the sonnes of God, and not rather the profane sonnes of profane Esau? |
A13554 | Art thou a Minister? |
A13554 | Art thou a hearer, and wouldest have comfort of hearing, what doest thou affect in hearing? |
A13554 | Art thou contemned? |
A13554 | Art thou in banishment? |
A13554 | Art thou in prison? |
A13554 | Art thou poore in earthly blessings, and wilt thou not therefore be rich in heavenly and spirituall graces? |
A13554 | Art thou sure thy conscience is neither erronious nor doubtfull? |
A13554 | Before effectuall calling, oh how did he delight and joy in his sinne? |
A13554 | Beholde the word of God is to them a reproach, why? |
A13554 | Besides, will not any say, that hee understands better by interpretation of things, than by bare reading? |
A13554 | Bring the Doctrine to this Rule: Wee aske, If God have elected and Christ have redeemed every particular man, why is not every particular man saved? |
A13554 | But are these hated of God? |
A13554 | But art thou effectually called? |
A13554 | But art thou poore and wantest many necessaries? |
A13554 | But aske such men, what was the text of the last Sermon you heard but two dayes agoe? |
A13554 | But did ever any of them accuse the Scripture to be a nose of waxe? |
A13554 | But doth not a bad conscience shew some remorse after sinne: what else did Iudas? |
A13554 | But for whom prayeth he? |
A13554 | But hee is omnipotent, fills both heaven and earth: Whither shall I flie from thy presence? |
A13554 | But how can one coale alone by it selfe keepe it selfe glowing? |
A13554 | But how farre we from this, among whom it is so hard to finde a faithfull friend, who in civill things will sticke to a man in adversity? |
A13554 | But how generall is the profession of religion without power? |
A13554 | But how may I know it? |
A13554 | But if the Thessalonians shall persevere till the comming of Christ, why doth the Apostle pray so earnestly? |
A13554 | But is it not necessary to follow our callings, to provide for our families, and intend our civill businesse and occasions? |
A13554 | But may a man alwayes know the time of his calling and conversion? |
A13554 | But now how generally are we fallen from the love of the Gospell, and turned religion into formality, and policie? |
A13554 | But now thou seest a difference made: and who hath made this difference? |
A13554 | But shall the word be a rule to our judgement, and not to our practise? |
A13554 | But strength is his, nothing can resist him: Is any thing impossible to God? |
A13554 | But true feare of God saith as Ioseph, Hath my Master done this for me, and shall I doe this? |
A13554 | But what a folly is this? |
A13554 | But what doe we now? |
A13554 | But what was their sinne to the sinne of these in our dayes? |
A13554 | But where may I come to this assurance? |
A13554 | By dishonouring him in his owne Temple: can a man indure to be wronged in his owne house? |
A13554 | By not following and fostering his motions: who would not be grieved to see his counsell despised? |
A13554 | By what Law is boasting excluded? |
A13554 | By what ordinary meanes did the Apostle discerne it? |
A13554 | By what should causes be tryed but by the Lawes of the Body Civill where they doe arise? |
A13554 | Can a blinde man be restored to sight, and not know it? |
A13554 | Can a man be quickened with heavenly life, and move and walke towards heaven, and not know it? |
A13554 | Can a watch- man of a Citty or Castle be corrupted or surprized by the enemy, and the Citty be safe? |

A13554 | Can any thing derogate more from his glory and majesty, or be more contrary to his most holy nature? |
A13554 | Can grace be wholly quenched or decay where it is? |
A13554 | Can hee that is dead, cold Lazarus be raised to life after foure dayes, and move, and walke, and doe all the actions of life, and not know it? |
A13554 | Can the shepheards be smitten, and the sheepe not be scattered? |
A13554 | Can vision faile, and people not perish? |
A13554 | Canst thou finde no time for the Lords worke? |
A13554 | Carefully save that which is gotten, avoiding expences,& much more excesses? |
A13554 | Did Paul need their prayers for that purpose, and doe not ordinary Ministers much more? |
A13554 | Did Saul ever doe so till God was gone from him? |
A13554 | Did ever any, or can ever any attaine to this perfection? |
A13554 | Doe not some question now the grounds of Religion, and dispute our Catechisme, which Turkes dare not doe? |
A13554 | Doe not they call the Bible the booke of heretickes? |
A13554 | Doest thou expect him from heaven, and is not thy conversation there? |
A13554 | Doest thou feare falling away? |
A13554 | Doest thou pray for remission of sinnes, and not beleeve it? |
A13554 | Doest thou professe in the Creed, thou beleevest remission of thy sinnes, and by not caring to beleeve it, give the lie to thy profession? |
A13554 | Doth Stapleton still doubt that those that have received true grace shall fall away? |
A13554 | Doth any man build an house, but he will looke to dwell in it? |
A13554 | Doth any plant an orchard or vineyard, and not looke for usefull fruites to himselfe? |
A13554 | Doth it beseeme that profession which is heavenly? |
A13554 | Doth it beseeme the Gospell, or a beleever, to runne in post hast to Satan? |
A13554 | Doth nature teach a man to be ashamed of a verball lie, and doth not grace much more of an actuall? |
A13554 | Doth not the example of Paul shew it to be lawfull enough, to continue fasting upon a Saboth day till midnight, to heare the word of God? |
A13554 | Doth the Apostle say that hee that knowes not that Iesus Christ is in him, is a reprobate, and is it an idle or a needlesse thing to prove it? |
A13554 | Doth the word preached command thee to beleeve in the Lord Iesus Christ, and that thy Redeemer liveth, who loved thee, and gave himselfe for thee? |
A13554 | Doth this action relish of heavenly- mindednesse, and of a conversation without covetousnesse? |
A13554 | Doth this action savour of holinesse? |
A13554 | Enviest thou for my sake? |
A13554 | Every man will be contented to swallow much paines for a little earthly profit, and is the state of heaven worth no labour? |
A13554 | Fifthly, want wee examples to encourage us? |
A13554 | Findest thou want of strength in temptation? |
A13554 | First, hath hee not specially manifested his hatred against an outward forme of religion, severed from the power and life of it? |
A13554 | First, the state of Christianity is rather a willing, than a doing the will of God: thou that canst doe no more, wouldst thou doe lesse? |
A13554 | For shaking of the calling, if you speake of the inward calling it is false; for then how should God abide constant to them? |
A13554 | For the circumstances: hast thou an eye to adorne thy profession, with thy body? |
A13554 | For the second: Whether a man once called alwayes know his calling? |
A13554 | For the third, why is he called the God of peace? |
A13554 | For the third: What be these parts mentioned, spirit, soule, body? |
A13554 | For thinke we that the Spirit renewes us onely within and not without? |
A13554 | For what man will not delight in any base lust, when hee shall not onely not feare reproofe, but be commended and graced in it? |
A13554 | For what would the gaine of the whole world profite him that hath lost his owne soule? |
A13554 | For, first, What man in any outward title or tenure will content himselfe with uncertainties, if he may be certaine of a good estate? |
A13554 | For, how can he confesse all his sinnes, which himselfe can not understand? |
A13554 | Fourthly, Can a man have any comfort of any action or duty of Christianity, for which hee wants a calling? |
A13554 | Fourthly, sinnes in action doe quench the Spirit exceedingly: how did David after his sinnes of adultery and murther lose the feeling of the Spirit? |
A13554 | Fourthly, who would sowe his field, not to reape his seede againe? |
A13554 | God hath predestinate us to be made like the image of his Sonne: How and wherein? |
A13554 | God is strong enough I know: but I am weake, Satan is strong against mee, sinne is strong in me, how then may I holde out? |
A13554 | Gods approbation and acceptance: who would not be allowed of God? |
A13554 | Had they no callings, no families, no businesse to intend? |
A13554 | Had they nothing else to doe? |
A13554 | Had we not neede then to try diligently the things wee lay hands on, seeing our inclination is so averse and alienate from every good thing? |
A13554 | Hast thou God in thy presence? |
A13554 | Hast thou faith, hope, strength, peace of conscience, or comfortable assurance? |
A13554 | Hast thou little? |
A13554 | Hast thou much? |
A13554 | Hast thou no house, land nor inheritance to rejoyce in? |
A13554 | Hath Christ prayed his father to keepe thee? |
A13554 | Hath the faithfull Lord covenanted wrath with the sinner? |
A13554 | Have they not burned Christian men for having them? |
A13554 | Having got a good portion, yet still desire and seeke more? |
A13554 | Hearest thou his word let fly plagues as thicke as haile against the transgressours, and thinkest thou to escape? |
A13554 | Hearest thou that a large booke of curses comes flying into the house of the swearer, and darest thou sweare? |
A13554 | How acceptable is our obedience to him when wee are holy as hee is holy, mercifull as hee is mercifull; when we walke in love as he hath loved us? |
A13554 | How can a Christian be so simple as to please himselfe as much with few graces as with many? |
A13554 | How can this but extremely quench the spirit, whose motions all the while are resisted? |
A13554 | How canst thou finde without seeking? |
A13554 | How canst thou say thou lovest mee, and keepest this thing from me? |
A13554 | How carefull will an husbandman be to preserve a tree of delicate and precious fruite? |
A13554 | How could he be the onely true Prophet, if hee left halfe the will of his Father unrevealed, but lapt up in obscure Traditions? |
A13554 | How could he satisfie his Propheticall office, if he deteined from his Church some Doctrine needful for her to know? |
A13554 | How dare men fall off from the truth of the Gospell to Popery or profanesse after the knowledge of it? |
A13554 | How desperately doe numbers resist and repell the true and faithfull word? |
A13554 | How did David and Peter disturbe their peace by foule sinnes? |
A13554 | How did the Divell use a tongue otherwise than in lying and deceiving? |
A13554 | How doth hee marry in the Lord, who marries the Lords enemie? |
A13554 | How doth the holy Apostle esteeme of all things losse and dung, in comparison of Christ in the meanes? |
A13554 | How doth the love of the world draw on a number of sinnes, and drowne men in lusts and perdition? |

A39665 | 11. or hast thou found the work of God so unpleasant to thee? |
A39665 | 17. but miserable is their condition; notwithstanding their impunity; for what is the interpretation but this? |
A39665 | 17. or the trade of godliness so unprofitable? |

A68805 | But when must we runne? |
A68805 | But when shall he come? |
A68805 | But where is now the marke? |
A68805 | But where is our submitting one to another, and that better esteeming of every one, than of our selves? |
A68805 | But where may we have him? |
A68805 | But wherein shall this glorie appeare? |
A68805 | But whither shall he come? |
A68805 | But who would not give his life for Christ? |
A68805 | But why doe not wee more rejoyce in these things, the benefit of which more redoundeth to us, than to them? |
A68805 | But why doth Christ ordinarily, speaking of himselfe, call himselfe the sonne of man? |

A68805 | Did Christ so? |
A68805 | Doe not Princes fall like others, and these gods dye like men? |
A68805 | Doest thou then cleave to the means of growth in grace,& listen attentively to the word of Christ? |
A68805 | Doest thou trust him for the salvation of thy soule, and not for the provision of thy body? |
A68805 | Doth Christs example bind us to dye for our brethren? |
A68805 | Even so, when thou carest not( in comparison) for any higher joyes, than those that runne into thy senses, what art thou but a Christian Atheist? |
A68805 | Finally, what a comfortable thing is it, to beare Christs crosse? |
A68805 | Findest thou thy heart bowed downward, and fixed on earth with full desires? |

A68805 | For what is a man profited, if hee shall gaine the whole world, and lose his owne soule? |
A68805 | For what shal it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his owne soule? |
A68805 | For why? |
A68805 | For, if the pleasures of our prison bee so sweet, what are those in our palace? |
A68805 | For, who thinkes not his reason neerer him than his religion? |
A68805 | God forbid: how should he then judge the world? |
A68805 | God is our life, and the maintainer of it: Why then doest thou not cast over thy care to him, and confine it to the day? |
A68805 | Hast thou faith? |
A68805 | Hast thou falne in 〈 … 〉 y way? |
A68805 | Hast thou received the first fruits of glory? |
A68805 | Hath God then taught thee this way? |
A68805 | Hath his Father established him on his Throne, and set his King on Sion, and will the rebels displace him? |
A68805 | Have those learned selfe- deniall, that measure their religion by their gettings, but will be sure to bee no losers by it? |
A68805 | He made the mouth; and will he not give meat? |
A68805 | Hee gave his Sonne for thy soule; will hee then deny food for the body? |
A68805 | Hee gave thee thy body, will hee not give rayment also? |
A68805 | Hee hath given himselfe for us, and will giue himselfe to us: and shall not we give our selves to him? |

A68805 | How comes this to passe, seeing they are his, that is, Christs Angels? |
A68805 | How doe most men feare the losse of the world, more than the losse of Gods favour, their soules, and salvation? |

A68805 | How should I prepare duely? |
A68805 | How should it excite us to love him, and admire his goodnes? |
A68805 | How should this stirre up the Ministers to diligence in preaching, so to feede and save soules? |
A68805 | How then may a Christian rightly use these good things? |
A68805 | How then shall the whole brightnesse of it so swallow up the Saints, as that they shall ever thinke it good to be where Hee is, to see his glory? |
A68805 | How then should wee hold our selves bound in way of thankfulnesse, if wee had a thousand lives, to give them up for him? |
A68805 | How unlike is it to the Angels, to rejoyce in evill, in sinfull courses and companie? |
A68805 | How unreasonable a motion were it, to call men to a fast of 12. dayes together? |
A68805 | How vaine is it then to expect a paradise of delight, in the time of our prison or pilgrimage? |

A68805 | Is a garland of flowers denyed to him that loves his ease better than the toyle of the race; and is the Crowne of eternall life given without labour? |
A68805 | Is any man whole? |
A68805 | Is it not extremity of folly, to make a tush of sinne, and to take pleasure and delight in it? |
A68805 | Is it not hee that chooseth weake things to confound the mighty? |
A68805 | Is it not then lawfull to labour for riches, for our selves and ours to live well and honestly in the world? |
A68805 | Is not Christ kept out,& his Spirit beaten out by the god of the world? |
A68805 | Is not the Word a dead letter to them, or choaked in them? |
A68805 | Is not this to undervalue Christ in comparison of the world? |

A68805 | May we not say now, their riches& cares are thorns to them? |
A68805 | More: how careful should every one be for his owne soule, which is here prized at so deare a rate? |

A65296 | ''t is not enough that Christ is willing to have us, but are we willing to have him? |
A65296 | * Nonne isti moriones qui dum animam suam vulnerant rident? |
A65296 | * Quam absurdum est postula re à Deo omnium peccatorum veniam,& ● olle repromittere omnium peccatorum fugam? |
A65296 | * Quid refert an uno, an pluribus? |
A65296 | 1 Are not they proud who are given to glorying? |
A65296 | 1 But I fear I am not bruised enough? |
A65296 | 1 Have we chosen Christ to set our love upon? |
A65296 | 10: How precious was our Salvation to Christ? |
A65296 | 12. Who can understand his errors? |
A65296 | 13. Who was before a Blasphemer, and a Persecuter, but I obtained mercy: How thankful was he? |
A65296 | 16. can the winde fill? |
A65296 | 16. where should Gods praises bee sounded, but in his Temples? |
A65296 | 17 where are the* nine? |
A65296 | 19. the wicked hate the godly for their piety ▪''t is strange they should do so; do we hate a flower because it is sweet? |
A65296 | 2 Are not they proud who are highly opinionated of their own excellencies? |
A65296 | 2 But I fear I am not bruised as I should be, I finde my heart so hard? |
A65296 | 2 Have we consented to the match? |
A65296 | 2 Not to love is a foolish thing; have not Gods people enemies enough, that they should flye in the faces one of another? |
A65296 | 2 What strangers are they to godliness, who have no zeal for the glory of God? |
A65296 | 2. and may not all this draw forth our love? |
A65296 | 2. but when God lights up the Lamp of Knowledge in the mind, what a new Creation is there? |
A65296 | 21. will not Christ much more bee avenged upon those that wrong his Spouse? |
A65296 | 24. strive to enter in at the straight gate: what is purpose without pursuit? |
A65296 | 3 Dost not thou grieve under thy hardnesse? |
A65296 | 4 Have we given up our selves to Christ? |
A65296 | 4 Praise is a more distinguishing work; by this a Christian excels all the infernall spirits; dost thou talk of God? |
A65296 | 4 The end of affliction is glorious; the Iews were captive in Babylon, but what was the end? |
A65296 | 5. and shall not these stones bee cemented together with* Love? |
A65296 | 54. and will God, think you, hear such prayers as come from a wrathful heart: will hee eat of our leavened bread? |
A65296 | 6 Wee have deserved worse at Gods hands; hath hee taken away a childe, a wife, a parent? |
A65296 | 8. how barbarous is it for brethren not to love? |
A65296 | A sinners heart is a Gaol, both for darkness and noysomness, and will Gods free spirit † be confined to a prison? |
A65296 | A sinners heart is the Embleme of Hell, what should Gods spirit do there? |
A65296 | Again, do we attend the Word with Reverential Devotion? |
A65296 | Again, do we love the Sanctity of the word? |
A65296 | Again, do we love the convictions of the word? |
A65296 | And do you think he would let his Inheritance be wrested out of his † hands? |
A65296 | And how would that title properly be given to Christ, Finisher of the* Faith? |
A65296 | And is it thus with us? |
A65296 | And may not this tempt all to become godly? |
A65296 | And no cessation of arms till death; will not this cause tears? |
A65296 | And what more loved then a portion? |
A65296 | And why would David inclose the Word in his heart? |
A65296 | Are not the wicked said to partake of the Holy Ghost? |
A65296 | Are not these the works of Charity I have done? |
A65296 | Are not they proud who are never pleased with their condition? |
A65296 | Are not they proud who are the Trumpets of their own* praise? |
A65296 | Are not they proud who despise others? |
A65296 | Are these the duties I required? |
A65296 | Are they godly, who are still in the Region of darkness? |
A65296 | Art thou driven from thy habitation? |
A65296 | As if one should paint the wall of his house, and let the Timber rot: Is not he a fool who will feed the Devil with his Soul? |
A65296 | As that Emperour who fed his Lion with † Feasant: Is not he a fool who lays a snare for himself? |
A65296 | As the father hath loved me, so have I loved you: What Angel can tell how God the Father loves Christ? |
A65296 | Atheists say, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept his Ordinances? |
A65296 | Auro quid melius? |
A65296 | Better lose thy liberty and keep thy peace, than lose thy peace and keep thy liberty: Is it loss of Estate? |
A65296 | But alas, how can they say they love the Scriptures, who are seldome conversant in them? |
A65296 | But alas, what is one the better to have others commend him, and his Conscience condemn him? |
A65296 | But doth every godly man arrive at this, to forgive, yea love his Enemies? |
A65296 | But how may we know the motions of the Spirit from a delusion? |
A65296 | But how sad is it when the Shepherds need to be fed? |
A65296 | But how shall I know that I am savingly bruised? |
A65296 | But how shall I know that I make a right application of Christ? |
A65296 | But how shall we get this Saving Knowledge? |
A65296 | But is there no service we owe to men? |
A65296 | But is this the sign of a godly man to be filled with the Spirit? |
A65296 | But it is impossible for any one to walk according to the full bredth of Gods Law, and to follow God fully? |
A65296 | But may a Childe of God say, either I have not all these Characters, or they are so weakly wrought in me, that I can not discern them? |
A65296 | But may not a godly man have roving thoughts in duty? |
A65296 | But the unregenerate taste of the Heavenly Gift? |
A65296 | But we can not say to Christ, wherein hast thou loved us? |
A65296 | But what needs prayer, when God hath made so many promises of blessings? |
A65296 | But what shall we do that we may be godly? |
A65296 | But whence is it, that grace, even the least degree of it, should not be quenched? |
A65296 | But where is moderation? |
A65296 | But why do persons content themselves with a show of godliness? |
A65296 | But why is a godly man a weeper? |
A65296 | But why so much fervour in Religion? |
A65296 | By this Character we may try our selves, whether we are godly: Are we tender about the things of God? |
A65296 | Can he be spiritual in worship, who feeds carnal lust? |
A65296 | Can the heart be holy when the devil is in the lips? |
A65296 | Can the sinner be merry who is heir to all Gods Curses, and knows not how soon he may take up his Lodgings among the damned? |
A65296 | Can two walk together except they are agreed? |
A65296 | Can we call him godly who is a bad Master? |
A65296 | Can we call him godly, who is a bad Parent? |
A65296 | Can we with David call God our Ioy, yea our exceeding Ioy? |
A65296 | Canst thou bless God that the sword of the Spirit hath divided between thee and thy lusts? |
A65296 | Christ made a plaister of his own bloud to heal a broken † heart: Christ is the quintessence of love? |
A65296 | Christ replies, Thou hast said it? |
A65296 | Christ will expunge thy sins in his blood; he will say, shall I condemn my spouse? |
A65296 | Christian, canst thou say sin is thy burden, Christ is thy delight? |
A65296 | Christians must count the cost before they build; why are people so hasty in laying down Religion, but because they were so hasty in taking it up? |
A65296 | Christians, what do you reserve your zeal for? |
A65296 | David who was modelled after Gods heart, how melodiously did he warble out Gods praises? |
A65296 | Deriding of the spirit comes very neer to the despighting of it: How can men be sanctified but by the spirit? |
A65296 | Did Faith live, would men like dead fish swim down the stream? |
A65296 | Did God ever bring thee upon thy knees? |
A65296 | Did God wait upon us, and can not we wait upon him? |
A65296 | Did not our hearts burn within us? |
A65296 | Did they love God, would they tear his Name by their Oaths? |
A65296 | Did we ever hear any cry out upon their Death- bed, that they have been too holy, that they have prayed too much, or walked with God too much? |
A65296 | Didst thou so often defy the devil, and art thou now come to dwel with me? |
A65296 | Do they think to have mercy from God who never seek it? |
A65296 | Do we commend Christ to others? |
A65296 | Do we delight in drawing nigh to him, and come before him with singing? |
A65296 | Do we fear the loss of the word preached, more than the loss of peace and trading? |
A65296 | Do we love him for his Beauty more than his Iewels? |
A65296 | Do we love him, when he seems not to love us? |
A65296 | Do we love the word preached? |
A65296 | Do we love the word when it comes home to our Conscience, and shoots its arrows of reproof at our sins? |
A65296 | Do we love the word written? |
A65296 | Do we make the word our familiar? |
A65296 | Do we observe that mode of worship, which hath the stamp of Divine Authority upon it? |
A65296 | Do we prize it in our judgements? |
A65296 | Do we receive it into our hearts? |
A65296 | Do we take them by the hand, and lead them to Christ? |

A65296 | Doth he love his Father who shoots him to the heart? |
A65296 | Doth that indigent creature think to have an Alms who never asks it? |
A65296 | Doth thy soul melt out at thy eyes? |
A65296 | Ephraim shall say, what have I to do any more with Idols? |
A65296 | For ardent affection: No Husband like Christ for love: The Lord saith to the people, I have loved you; and they say, Wherein hast thou loved us? |
A65296 | For 〈 ◊ 〉 maketh thee to differ from another? |
A65296 | God hath waited upon* us: Did not he wait for our repentance? |
A65296 | Godliness giv ●* assurance, yea holy triumph in Go ● and how sweet is † that? |
A65296 | Godliness is the best Trade we can drive, it brings profit; wicked men say, It is vain to serve God, and what profit is it? |
A65296 | Gods love doth not make him blind, he can see infirmities, but how? |
A65296 | Gods spirit is a rich Jewel, go to him for it, Lord give me thy spirit, where is the Jewel thou didst promise me? |
A65296 | Hath ot he had a transforming work upon his heart, why then doth he weep? |
A65296 | Have I not seen Iesus our Lord? |
A65296 | Have they Gods spirit who are malicious and unclean? |
A65296 | He replied, Let piety be the scope of all thy actions: If one should ask me how he should be in rest when he is awake? |
A65296 | He stops his ear to his Parents counsel; you may as well call him a good subject who is disloyal: Can we call him godly, who is a bad servant? |
A65296 | He that formed the eye, shall he not* see? |
A65296 | He wait on his servants: Was there ever such a Master? |
A65296 | He who wants Grace, is like one who wants a pardon, he is every hour in fear of Execution: How can a wicked man rejoyce? |
A65296 | He wil say, what is become of all thy Vows, Tears, Confessions? |
A65296 | His Father had not displeased him at any time, saying, why hast thou done so? |
A65296 | How are our hearts perfect with God, when we prevaricate with him? |

A65296 | How do we grieve the Spirit? |
A65296 | How doth faith work patience? |
A65296 | How doth the Soul sparkle as the Sun in its glory? |
A65296 | How doth the Spirit give comfort? |
A65296 | How far are they from being godly, who instead of endeavouring Grace in others, labour to destroy all hopeful beginnings of Grace in them? |
A65296 | How full of Mercy is Christ, in whom all mercy meets? |

A65296 | How opposite are they to godliness who cry down zeal, and count it a Religious phrensie? |
A65296 | How pregnant is Christs love towards you? |

A65296 | How shall we know whether we act in the strength of Gods Spirit, or in the strength of our own abilities? |
A65296 | How shall wee attain this excellent grace of love? |
A65296 | I am unworthy; doth thy unworthiness trouble thee? |
A65296 | I appeal to you, would there bee that censuring and despising, that reproaching and undermining one another if there were love? |
A65296 | I called for the heart and spirit, and you bring nothing but the Carkass of Duty, should I receive comfort in this? |
A65296 | I once knew an holy man, who walking in his garden, and shedding plenty of tears, a friend coming to him accidentally, asked him, why he wept? |
A65296 | I would ask these Tepid neutral professors this question, If Religion be not a good cause, why did they undertake it at first? |
A65296 | IT will be enquired in the next place, Who is the godly man? |
A65296 | IT will first be enquired, What Godliness is? |
A65296 | If Christ should bid you do a piece of work for him, would ye not do it? |

A65296 | If this be sign of a godly man, how few will be found in the number? |
A65296 | If we are prizers of Christ, then we take much complacency in Christ: What joy doth a man take in that which he counts his treasure? |

A65296 | If your servant should do some of your work you set him about, and leave the rest undone, how would you like that? |
A65296 | In that Country is better Society: There is God blessed for ever: How infinitely sweet and ravishing will a smile of his face be? |
A65296 | In what sense is a godly man a servant of God? |
A65296 | In what sense is heaven a better Country? |
A65296 | Is Humility the inseparable Character of a godly man, let us try our hearts by this Touch- stone: Are we humble? |
A65296 | Is Prayer a sign of a godly man, may not an hypocrite pray eloquently, and with seeming devotion? |
A65296 | Is a godly man an high prizer of Christ, then what is to be thought of them who do not put a value upon Christ, are they godly or no? |

A65296 | Is this the distinguishing Mark of a godly man, to be a lover of the Saints, then how sad is it to see this grace of love in an eclipse? |
A65296 | It is the Lord, let him do what seemeth him good: See the difference between Eli and Pharoah, Pharoah saith, who is the* Lord? |
A65296 | It were blasphemy to say these have the spirit: Will the blessed spirit leave his Caelestial Palace, to come and live in a prison? |
A65296 | King Agrippa, beleevest thou the Prophets? |
A65296 | King Ptolomy asked one how he might be in rest when he dreamed? |
A65296 | Know ye not, that the Saints shall judge the world? |
A65296 | Let integrity preserve me: How many storms was Iob in? |
A65296 | Let me dye the death of the righteous, and let my end bee like his: If then godliness be so desirable at death, why should we not pursue after it now? |
A65296 | Let us try by this Character, whether we are godly: Are we lovers of the word? |
A65296 | Let us try our godliness by this Touch- stone; Do we love God? |
A65296 | Let your moderation be known to all? |
A65296 | Many put on the Coat of Profession, they will pray, and discourse of points of Religion, but what means the bleating of the sheep? |
A65296 | Mephibosheth bowed himself, and said, what is thy Servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am? |
A65296 | No evil like an evil heart, no evil heart like an unbelieving heart; why so? |
A65296 | Now Christian, when the word toucheth upon thy sin, and saith, Thou art the man, dost thou love the reproof? |
A65296 | O how hath God enriched us with his silver showers? |
A65296 | O what a comfort is this? |
A65296 | O what should we aspire after, but this Country above? |
A65296 | Oh therefore, what need have we of the spirit? |
A65296 | Oh what glorious acclamations shall there bee, when old relations shall meet together in heaven, and be in each others embraces? |
A65296 | One saith, if the sweetness of all flowers were in one flower, how sweet would that flower be? |
A65296 | One sin may shut thee out of heaven; and as Hierom* faith, What difference is there in being shut out for more sins, or for one? |
A65296 | Others deride walking with God, as if it were a way of foolish preciseness: What, you will be of the Holy Tribe? |
A65296 | Others walk a few steps in the good old † way, but they retreat back again: If the ways of God were not good, why did they enter into them? |

A65296 | Shall we grieve our Comforter? |
A65296 | Sincerity is the beauty of a Christian, wherein lies the beauty of a Diamond, but in this, that it is a true Diamond? |
A65296 | So saith the proud man, are not these the Prayers I have made? |
A65296 | So when we do not come in Christs Name in prayer, we offer up Incense without a Priest, and what can we expect but to meet with wrath? |
A65296 | So, when we are in the mouth of sin, as of a Lyon, and the Minister by a reproof shoots this sin to death, shall not we be thankful? |
A65296 | Some will say to the godly, why can not you do as others? |
A65296 | Suppose a man were in the mouth of a Lyon, and another should shoot the Lyon and save the man, would not he be thankful? |
A65296 | That I may comfort the smoaking flax, why dost thou thus dispute against thy self? |
A65296 | The Covenant is the Gospel- Charter, which is enriched with many glorious priviledges, but who may plead the benefit of this Covenant? |
A65296 | The Lord hath anointed me to bind up the broken- hearted ▪ But why will not Christ break a bruised reed? |
A65296 | The Schoolmen move the question, whether a man receive the Holy Ghost himself or no? |
A65296 | The heart swarms with sin; what a deal of pride and Atheism is in the soul? |
A65296 | The hypocrite is an impudent sinner, he knows his heart is false, yet he goes on: Iudas knew himself to be an hypocrite; he asks, Master is it I? |
A65296 | The righteous hath hope in his death: If one should ask a dying Saint, when all his earthly comforts were gone, what he had left? |
A65296 | The word preached is to beat down sin, and advance holiness: Do we love it for its spirituality and purity? |
A65296 | This is a Gospel- bruising: canst thou say, Lord, though I do not see thee, yet I love thee, though I am in the dark, yet I cast Anchor? |
A65296 | This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the Church: what nearer than union? |
A65296 | This is like the Toad, that converts the most wholsome hearb to poyson; where shall wee finde a grateful Christian? |
A65296 | Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes; that is, one of thy Graces: Then how illustrious are all the Graces met in a Constellation? |
A65296 | Thou that hast learned all thy postures, who canst cringe, and tack about, how wilt thou look Christ in the face another day? |
A65296 | Thou wouldst fain believe, and mournest that thou canst not believe, are not these tears the Initials of Faith? |
A65296 | Though Prudence be to direct zeal, yet not to destroy it; because sight is requisite, must the body therefore have no heat? |
A65296 | Towards others, yet be proud; who more humble than Absalom in his outward behaviour? |
A65296 | Use 1 How far are they out of the way of Godliness, who are unspiritual in their worship? |
A65296 | Use 2 Let us put our selves upon a scrutiny, and examine by this Character whether we are godly, are wee thankful for mercy? |

A65296 | Were it not folly to be proud of Ring that is † lent? |
A65296 | Were there Faith, would there be so much fraud? |
A65296 | What a cooling card will this be at that day? |
A65296 | What a worm did Spira feel in his Conscience? |

A77267 | All this while, resolve mee where thine heart is? |
A77267 | And alas, was this the cause? |
A77267 | And art thou any Wiser in thy generation? |
A77267 | And canst thou excuse thy selfe of being one of these? |
A77267 | And canst thou speake this, proud Pilgrim, and not tremble? |
A77267 | And hast thou sought to satisfy his hard hearted Creditor, that those due funerall rites might be performed to thy Brother? |
A77267 | And how shouldst thou be lesse then his Lover; so long as thou beleev''st him to be thy saviour? |
A77267 | And how were thy feet prepared to follow him? |

A77267 | And now, whither wilt thou fly; seeing there is no refuge for thee, neither in the Mountaines nor in the Valleyes? |
A77267 | And shall I bee forgetfull of these? |
A77267 | And sometimes I had the grace to consider with my selfe what thing this Eternity was? |
A77267 | And then I roared out- O — a troubled spirit who can heale? |
A77267 | And was this the way to teach the ignorant: in corrupting rather then correcting the delinquent? |
A77267 | And was this to forgive offences heartily? |
A77267 | And was this to harbour the harbourlesse? |
A77267 | And what art thou, unhappy Pilgrim, who speakest these things; but as leaven to make soure the Lumpe? |
A77267 | And what can I doe lesse then serve thee with thine owne? |
A77267 | And what doe I, poor Pilgrim, but deprive my selfe of all happinesse, by giving way to your concupiscence? |
A77267 | And what hast thou in exchange but immortal glory, for a vile, fraile, and corruptible body? |
A77267 | And what have I answered for him? |
A77267 | And what lesse could I expect, then that my bosome friends should prove my deadliest Foes, being receivers and Abetters of my bosome sins? |
A77267 | And what more hard to cure, then an old Vlcer, an aged sore? |
A77267 | And whence came all this, but because they ascended unto that Mountaine, to which the first Angel ascended, and as a Divell descended? |
A77267 | And wherein hast thou followed mee, unlesse it were to betray mee? |
A77267 | And who became the manager of those disloyall attempts but my selfe? |
A77267 | And yet I thought with my selfe, who could bee safe, if such hatefull Agents could be safe? |
A77267 | And yet he for all this died( said my delicious Guest) and tell me then what did his rules of Physick, availe him? |
A77267 | And yet how little did this admonition worke upon thy thoughts? |
A77267 | And yet what an Idoll thou makest of thy selfe? |
A77267 | Art thou not in farre deeper arecres to him that made thee; then hee is unto thee, whom thou usest so unmercifully? |
A77267 | Broken those Arrowes which might have wounded thee? |
A77267 | But hast thou by a contrite heart& regenerate life made him thy Lord? |
A77267 | But hast thou not fed thy Body too delicately, to rise againe to glory? |
A77267 | But hast thou walked in the strength thereof to his honour: or requited him with an offering of his owne, by sowing thy bread upon the waters? |
A77267 | But how dost thou beleeve the holy Catholike Church, or how is thy faith grounded, if thou observe not what the Church has commanded? |
A77267 | But how hast thou, poore miserable Pilgrim, observed this Lesson? |
A77267 | But how is it that thou beleevest in the Holy Ghost: and yet with thine hardnesse of heart, and loosenesse of life grievest the Holy Spirit of God? |
A77267 | But let mee returne to thee; and now in good sadnesse tell mee, hast thou to thy power performed this Office of charity? |
A77267 | But now tell me, unhappy Pilgrim, may not I say to thee, as that Prophet said to David? |
A77267 | But say, unprofitable Pilgrim, wherein hast thou done this Second spirituall worke of Mercy, to Correct the delinquent? |
A77267 | But tell me, thou misguided Pilgrim, were''t thou as quick in thy visits to the house of mourning? |
A77267 | But thou wilt aske mee, of what art thou to bee brought to account? |
A77267 | But thou, poore Pilgrim, hast no honours to transport thee; no fortunes to detaine thee; no pleasures to ensnare thee? |
A77267 | But turne unto thy selfe; for whom canst thou find in more danger of falling into that place of horror, then thy selfe? |
A77267 | But what are we to learne from hence? |
A77267 | But wher be any Signes of this love? |
A77267 | But whereto ayme all these trains? |
A77267 | But why doe I inveigh against their treachery, I became to my selfe the most treacherous Enemy? |
A77267 | CAn the Leopard lay away his spots, or the Ethiopian his blacknesse? |
A77267 | Can I think, that just God who heares the Orphans cry, and bottles up the Widowes teares, will not avenge himselfe of these things? |
A77267 | Can hee tender his little ones,& not revenge himselfe of those who make a prey and spoile of his little ones? |
A77267 | Can the Leopard pride himselfe in his spots: or the Swan in her black feet? |
A77267 | Come then tell mee, are you wearied and so heavy laden, that you must faint by the way, if you bee not refreshed? |
A77267 | Correct mee, O Lord, but not in thine anger, for how shall I stand in thy displeasure? |
A77267 | DOest thou desire to see such Sights as may rightly improve thee? |
A77267 | Did I to this afflicted soule, as I desired to bee done unto? |
A77267 | Did not a wanton light tune bring thee to thinke of thy light Mistresse? |
A77267 | Did not the houre seeme long unto thee, whilest thou wer''t thus undevoutly busied in this thy enforced Practise of Piety? |
A77267 | Did not those on whom thou relyed, betray thee? |
A77267 | Didst not take infinite delight in a filthy song? |
A77267 | Didst not take more delight in the voyce then the matter; and by that meanes in the eare of thy Maker, become an unfitting Quirister? |
A77267 | Didst thou fast and pray, that thou mightst not enter into temptation? |
A77267 | Didst thou imitate that devout Bethulian, in sending forth the voyce of thy prayer, that Christian sacrifice of supplication? |
A77267 | Didst thou mourne with those that mourn''d; or with a tender Christian heart suffer with those that suffer''d? |
A77267 | Didst thou never see thy poore necessitous Brother hungry, but thou hadst compassion of his poverty? |
A77267 | Didst thou not by breaking a Note to please thy fancy, conceive more content in the melody of the voyce, then purity of the heart? |
A77267 | Didst thou performe these pious offices in any place, to purchase to thy Soule the glad promises of peace? |
A77267 | Didst thou poure the balme of thy best comfort into him? |
A77267 | Didst thou prepare thy selfe against the assault? |
A77267 | Didst thou support him in his weaknesse? |
A77267 | Dost thou call to mind what unsufferable dishonour the Lord of lords suffered for thy sake? |
A77267 | Dost thou use him like a Father; much lesse like an heavenly Father, when thou preferrest the pleasures of sin before his honour? |
A77267 | Faith commeth by Hearing; And yet how have I broken my faith by Hearing? |
A77267 | Foolish Pilgrim, couldst thou find any thing more fitting to entertaine thy best thoughts, or bestow thy care, then the salvation of thy soule? |
A77267 | For can there be any peace to the wicked? |
A77267 | For tell me, has not God himselfe with his owne mouth promised, and is he not both able and willing to performe what hee hath promised? |
A77267 | For tell mee, have you desire to bee informed in what most concerns you; to bee edified in what most imports you? |
A77267 | For what can the thoughts and Imaginations of thine heart say for themselves, but that they have beene evill continually? |
A77267 | For what comparison betwixt a Death temporall and eternall? |
A77267 | For what have I that I have not received from thee? |
A77267 | For what leavest thou here, but a world of misery? |
A77267 | For what one Commandement in all that Decalogue, which in part or in all proves mee not an high delinquent? |
A77267 | For who shall praise thee in the Depth? |
A77267 | For whom else shall I expect? |
A77267 | Go forth then my Soule, what fearest thou? |

A77267 | Hadst thou a lodging for them, in the time of necessity? |

A77267 | Iudged I must bee, and who will speake for me? |
A77267 | Lastly, what can the workes of thine hands say for themselves, but that they have beene loaden with transgressions and iniquity? |
A77267 | MAny times hast thou hungred; oft hast thou thirsted; but tell mee was this for righteousnesse? |
A77267 | MAy not God bee serv''d with his owne? |
A77267 | May not he who appointed Sixe dayes for the use and service of man, reserve one for the more peculiar service and worship of himselfe? |
A77267 | Must hee both forget and forgive; and thy rancour such, as thou wilt only forgive but not forget? |
A77267 | Must not every part or parcell of that goodly piece, that faire building, fall into ruine, irreparable ruine? |
A77267 | Must not that face, now so phantastically in- laid with Love- spots, become an horror to the beholder? |
A77267 | Must not that faire front be pilled, and her beauty pillaged? |
A77267 | Must not the beauty thereof turne to rottennesse and corruption: and the glory thereof sleepe in the dust? |
A77267 | Must that inclosed Garden, I say, embrodered and beautified with all spirituall flowers be plowed up by wild beasts of the Forest? |
A77267 | Must their memory sleepe in the dust, and have no followers after death? |
A77267 | Must those red Roses of charity, those white Lillies of chastity, those sweet violets of humility lose their beauty? |
A77267 | Nay rather, hast thou not cursed, where thou shouldst have blessed? |
A77267 | Nay rather, hast thou not suffered him to cry at thy gates, till his very bowels earned within him; and thou wouldst not heare him? |
A77267 | Nay, didst not preferre the very measure or composure of it, before his honour for which it was penned? |
A77267 | Nay, hast thou not depended more upon those Egyptian reedes, these Helps on Earth, then those Hopes of Heaven? |
A77267 | Nay, hast thou not sowne so lavishly thine ill- bestowed fortunes upon the Brothell or Stage, as thou hast left nothing to give to the poor mans boxe? |
A77267 | Nay, hast thou taught thine owne family: and by thine owne example wained them from folly? |
A77267 | Nay, have I not come thither rather to traduce, then usefully heare? |
A77267 | Nay, how often hast thou gone downe even unto the gates of Hell, and least thou shouldst enter in, he with- held thee? |
A77267 | Nay, shall I more fully declare thy goodnesse towards me? |
A77267 | Nay, what will become of thy poor Soule, that must then suffer for giving so much way to the pride of her Maid? |
A77267 | No houre could be more tedious then so imployed; how then could that stony Soile of thine Heart bee fructified? |
A77267 | Now lye thine hand on thine heart, and tell mee, Hast thou performed this? |
A77267 | Now return and accompt, proud Pilgrim, whether there appeare any tokens of this poor spirit in thee? |
A77267 | Now, resolve mee, poore Pilgrim, wherein hast thou showne thy selfe an obedient Scholler to such a Master? |
A77267 | Now, resolve mee, unhappy Pilgrim, wherein can more love bee showne then in weakning and enfeebling our spirits with pursuit of what we love? |
A77267 | Now, to avoide a place of such endlesse torment, who would not suffer the losse of any temporall estate, nay even of life it selfe? |
A77267 | Now, what argument is there of the love wee beare him: if wee have not a longing desire to doe that which may please him? |
A77267 | Now, what hourely affronts did I suffer by my owne, while I stood thus pursued by them? |
A77267 | O How should I looke up unto thee, that have so provoked thee? |
A77267 | O hast thou not put it up in a napkin; or done worse by employing it to some worser end? |
A77267 | O how can I remember these, and sinke not downe with the horror of them? |
A77267 | O how can I utter this without remorse? |
A77267 | O how could I looke upon the Image of God in him; and forget my selfe so much towards him, as not to vouchsafe to cast a good countenance upon him? |
A77267 | O how farre is this after hungring how to promote Gods glory? |
A77267 | O how hath my soule thirsted after thee; how greatly hath my flesh longed for thee? |
A77267 | O how it joyes mee to see a proud ambitious spirit entring lists with his Competitor: where the one must necessarily fall to advance the other? |
A77267 | O how much hast thou failed in the first, what then may wee looke for at the last? |
A77267 | O how often have I resolved with my selfe( but as in all things else, how weak are mens resolves?) |
A77267 | O how often have I staine my brother in conceiving cruell thoughts, which reflected upon his life, fame and substance? |
A77267 | O how soundly slept I, while my ghostly Enemy stood at the gate ready to enter in upon me? |
A77267 | O how sweet is the taste of sinne to the palat; but how cold in the stomacke? |
A77267 | O how terrible will that great Iudge appeare to such as in this life would neither be allured by his promises, nor awakened with his judgements? |
A77267 | O how the sense of sinne makes the least seeming sinne appeare heavy? |
A77267 | O how unseemly will his praise sound in thy polluted Lipps? |
A77267 | O how willingly did I desire to perish? |
A77267 | O in what case shall I then stand? |
A77267 | O my Lord speake for me; for shal I say I have not done this? |
A77267 | O my best Master, looke downe upon mee with the eye of thy favour? |
A77267 | O my deare one; bee not farre from me, for if thou leave mee, what shall become of me? |
A77267 | O my loose thoughts whither do yee hale mee? |
A77267 | O my poore afflicted Soule, canst thou heare these things, and not melt thy selfe into teares? |
A77267 | O tell me, thou unthankfull one, how comes it, that thou shouldst thus dishonour her by whom thou livest; disparage her by whom thou breathest? |
A77267 | O thou pretious treasure of a continent soule, how unhappily am I robbed of thee? |
A77267 | O what disorderly passions raged, nay raigned in me? |
A77267 | O what heapes of sinnes( and those no small sands) have I raised, with those Giants, as if they had beene Mounts to menace heaven? |
A77267 | O what maist thou thinke will become of thee? |
A77267 | O what numberlesse numbers of Bils of Inditement shall bee then and there preferred against thee? |
A77267 | O what shall I doe; where shall I fly to? |
A77267 | O when the righteous shall scarcely be saved, what wil become of the wicked? |
A77267 | O wilt thou abuse those sweet Motions of Grace, and become worse and worse the nearer thou art to thy Grave? |
A77267 | O wilt thou in this case, this fearfull case and condition, suffer thine head to take any rest? |
A77267 | O with what sighes, with what teares did that devout Father bewayle his breaking into an Orchard, though hee was then a Boy, and therefore pardonable? |
A77267 | O woe is mee, where shall I turne me? |
A77267 | O yee straying eyes, how soone were you casting forth your fiery darts to surprize those who inclin''d to you? |
A77267 | O yee treacherous Spies, why have yee thus wandred about to seeke my undoing? |
A77267 | O, but wilt thou say, who can keepe the Commandements? |
A77267 | O, was it not enough for thee to have others to betray thee, but thou must adde new strength to their force, by betraying thy selfe unto thine Enemy? |
A77267 | Oh how ready thou art here to acknowledge his power, and yet to deny it in thy life? |
A77267 | Oh, upon how unworthy a Subject hast thou bestowed it? |
A77267 | Or how canst thou truly call her Mother, so long as thou hearknest not to her commands, but becommest disobedient to her? |
A77267 | Or the reward of such as embrace peace; or that superlative title of those Peace- makers, to be called one of the Children of God? |
A77267 | Or would you bee perswasive in Oratory; or powerfull in prophesy; or an usefull Almner for your soules safety? |
A77267 | Pleasure shall I call it? |
A77267 | Poore passionate worme, what a stirre is this thou makest with thy selfe? |
A77267 | Poore shell of corruption, what dost thou thinke of these things? |
A77267 | Pray thee, vile and stinking Carrion, hast thou life from thy selfe, or from an other? |
A77267 | Put thy selfe in the Ballance: and tell mee, whether during all these dayes of thine unhappy pilgrimage, thou hast not practised this Sin? |
A77267 | Receive mee, O receive mee into the armes of thy mercy; while I confesse unto thee, who knowest the secrets of all thoughts, my iniquity? |
A77267 | Shall thine Horse or thy Speare save thee? |
A77267 | So long as I give eare to your inchantments; So long as I suffer my eyes to bee led by you, what comfort may I reap, or what peace may I expect? |
A77267 | Solace him in his heavinesse? |
A77267 | TOo true have I found that Proverbe; Who can have a worser friend then he brings with him? |
A77267 | Take so much paines one day as goe into a Monasterie; and what will you find there, but, as Climacus observeth, Breathing Coarses? |
A77267 | Taken thy foot out of the snare which had intrapped thee? |
A77267 | Tell me, hast thou not reared these Idols in thine heart? |
A77267 | Tell me, is this to put thy trust in God? |
A77267 | Tell mee then how canst thou looke for the least drop of mercy, who in all thy time hast been a stranger to the Workes of mercy? |
A77267 | Tell mee, O tell mee, how didst thou there employ thine hearing? |
A77267 | Tell mee, doest thou hope to receive mercy? |
A77267 | That God had forgotten the poor; and that he would not revenge their wrongs to my shame? |
A77267 | That my indirect wayes should never bee brought to judgment? |
A77267 | The wayes of iniquity are those Boults and Shackles, which needes must load thee: for what greater weight then the burden of iniquity? |
A77267 | These were but made of Gold and Silver:& these are the Metalls which thou doest honour? |
A77267 | Thou hast had enough of Idumaea; for what foundst thou there but anguish? |
A77267 | Thou saist, thou dost beleeve in him, but dost thou love him in whom thou believest? |
A77267 | Thus may I, poore Pilgrim, be justly accused, and by what meanes may I be freed? |
A77267 | To afflict himselfe in the hoording up of that; which is got with paine and toyle, kept with care, and feare, and lost with pangs and griefe? |
A77267 | To be accounted a wise and subtile Commissioner; and so spend his spirits about a fruitlesse or thankelesse labour? |
A77267 | To be deprived, and of that eternally, in the fruition whereof consists all glory? |
A77267 | To play the carking Husband, in gathering for a progeny of hopelesse Rake- hels? |
A77267 | To what a sinke of all silth, and pollution, hast thou, O lust of my flesh drawne mee? |
A77267 | To whom goest thou, but to a God of mercy? |
A77267 | Took''st thou delight to conferre with them; to minister what was needfull unto them? |
A77267 | VVHo is hee that knoweth not how soone Faith begins to decline and grow out of request in the heart of a worldling? |
A77267 | VVHo would not think it strange, that any one should forget what the very sight of himselfe might make him remember? |
A77267 | Was not thine heart wandring in the World, while thy body was at Church? |
A77267 | Was this the way to make thy handyworke to prosper, or give a blessing to thy Labour? |
A77267 | Were those Allyes thou hadst within thee, true unto thee? |
A77267 | Were''t thou carefull of thy spirituall provision? |
A77267 | Were''t thou so poore as thou couldst not doe it? |
A77267 | What a folly it was for an unthankfull people to set them up a God in the Image of a Calfe that eateth hay? |
A77267 | What a long time of youth did I lead; as if that Spring would ne''re have done? |
A77267 | What daily sacrifices hast thou offered to those moulten Images? |
A77267 | What dayes have I spent in carefull carking, painefull toyling? |
A77267 | What hast thou, which thou hast not received: and if received, to whom is the glory to bee rendred? |
A77267 | What hope, what helpe in the depths? |
A77267 | What is it then that has thus violently wrought upon your reason: and brought your disordered thoughts unto this distraction? |
A77267 | What nights in cunning compassing, watchfull contriving how I might come by my purpose? |
A77267 | What shame is it then to magnifie thy selfe in sinne? |
A77267 | What then could this poore razed Fort of my surprized soule expect but utter ruine, misery and desolation? |
A77267 | Whence then thy pride? |
A77267 | Where then must thy possession be in this Land of promise? |
A77267 | Who is hee, that was afflicted, and J comforted him not? |
A77267 | Whom hast thou fed with the milke of his word? |
A77267 | Whom hast thou seene carried away with the blast of every vaine doctrine, and hast sought to reclaime him? |
A77267 | Will any man( saith he) rob God? |
A77267 | Wilt thou still Domineere over thy Mistresse: and be a Commander of thy Soveraignesse? |
A77267 | Woe is me, who will deliver me, or take thee off from accusing me? |
A77267 | Woe is mee, what a losse is this? |
A77267 | Woe is mee, what will become of mee? |
A77267 | Would yee know that course of his? |
A77267 | Would you heare what my distempers are? |
A77267 | Wouldst thou bestow the remainder of thy time in delights? |
A77267 | Wouldst thou have Honour? |
A77267 | Wouldst thou have wealth? |
A77267 | Yet where be there any tokens of thy desire to ascend unto him? |
A77267 | and reckoned amongst the transgressors, that we amōgst his Saints might be numbred? |
A77267 | did''st afford thy charitable hand, after their Warrs, to bring them with peace to their Graves? |
A77267 | didst thou labour to comfort the comfortlesse? |
A77267 | for what am I without thee: or what can I do unlesse thou helpe mee? |
A77267 | for what art thou to be brought to Iudgement? |
A77267 | goe forth, why tremblest thou? |
A77267 | have not many bin damned for lesse then thou hast committed: and did it repent thee of what thou hadst done, that so thou mightst not bee condemned? |
A77267 | how and in what manner may I pray in hope to be heard? |
A77267 | how could thy seered Conscience be edified? |
A77267 | how dry and unacceptable thy devotions from so corrupt an heart? |
A77267 | how dry,& desolate? |
A77267 | how farre is this from thirsting after workes of mercy? |
A77267 | how hast thou employed thy Talent? |
A77267 | how hast thou left me; nay how hast thou rest mee of those comforts which I expected from thee? |
A77267 | how ready thou art to justifie thy selfe? |
A77267 | how shall I offer my Sacrifice of thanksgiving, that it may be accepted? |
A77267 | how shall I render up my Supplication, that it may be received? |
A77267 | how weake and dis- consolate have bin thy staggring resolves? |
A77267 | if it were sufficient to accuse, who would be found innocent? |
A77267 | if under mine, where be thy Colours? |
A77267 | my soule hath thirsted after thee, the living fountaine; O when shall I come and appeare before the face of the Lord? |
A77267 | nay, have I not delighted in hearing him defamed, or inlarged his disgrace with some new reproach? |
A77267 | nay, rather hast thou not rejoyced in his affliction: or with one of Iobs miserable Comforters, increased his affliction? |
A77267 | no bound to thy fury? |
A77267 | one Day, and but one Day; and must thy commands be neglected that one Day? |
A77267 | or shall the strength of an Hoast deliver thee? |
A77267 | or to rob mee of my glory? |
A77267 | pray thee tell mee, who made thee thine owne revenger? |
A77267 | shall I rather tell thee what thou hast done? |
A77267 | that God should become humbled; that Man might be exalted? |
A77267 | that God should descend from heaven to earth, that he might draw us from earth to heaven? |
A77267 | that He should become poore, that we might be enriched? |
A77267 | that the Son of God should become the son of Man, that the Son of Man might become the son of God? |
A77267 | that the free should become bound, that the bound might become free? |
A77267 | that the immortall should become mortall? |
A77267 | that the living Lord should dye, that the dying man might live? |
A77267 | that the mortall might become immortall? |
A77267 | to what Court may I appeale? |
A77267 | to whom shall I fly? |
A77267 | under whose Banner hast thou fought? |
A77267 | was their sight deare unto thee, and that for his sake who made both them and thee? |
A77267 | was there ever offence done by the most profest enemy, that may be compar''d to those which wee daily doe to his divine Majesty? |
A77267 | was this performing the office of a friend? |
A77267 | was this to bind up his wounds? |
A77267 | what Advocate then canst thou find to plead for thee? |
A77267 | what Mansion maist thou expect in this Holy City? |
A77267 | what actions of perfect obedience hast thou expressed? |
A77267 | what and how great promises would be made by her? |
A77267 | what can the words of thy mouth say for themselves, but that they have beene full of all filthinesse and scurrility? |
A77267 | what could I imagine, that this earthly Tabernacle of mine should never be dissolved? |
A77267 | what divided thoughts of hope and feare were ever encountring me? |
A77267 | what gaine may yee reape by my perdition? |
A77267 | what good thing may I expect from his hand that made mee, when I have done none of those things for which hee made mee? |
A77267 | what good thing that may praise thee? |
A77267 | what hast thou in thee that may please thee? |
A77267 | what have I received from thee but misery: and shall I now incline unto thee, who have bin so oft- times deceived by thy folly? |
A77267 | what have I then deserved? |
A77267 | what mockings, what spittings, what buffetings, what whippings, what reproachfull torments hee suffered that thou mightst bee free? |
A77267 | what shall I be able to answer in my owne defence? |
A77267 | what shall I bee able to answer for my selfe against those my many Accusers? |
A77267 | what would become of thee, if hee should deale with thee according to his justice? |
A77267 | what wrong have I done you, that you should thus abuse me? |
A77267 | when I shall take up my bed amongst Scorpions? |
A77267 | when my deare Saviour, that victorious Lion of the Tribe of Iuda, shall demand of mee what hast thou done? |
A77267 | when the axe of his judgement shall not spare the greene tree, what will become of the dry? |
A77267 | when wilt thou come, O my Comforter? |
A77267 | whence camest thou O my Flesh, O my Darling Foe:& from whence was thy beginning? |
A77267 | whence thy vaine- glory? |
A77267 | where is the duty thou shouldst tender? |
A77267 | where may I fly for succour in this time of danger? |
A77267 | where shall I turne mee? |
A77267 | wherein hast thou observed this Lesson? |
A77267 | whether art thou falne? |
A77267 | who is hee that will speake a good word for thee to the King, that his wrath may be appeased towards thee? |
A77267 | whom hast thou at any time perceived to bee ignorant in the principles of faith, and hast taken paines to informe him? |
A77267 | whom scismatically affected, and thou laboured to convert him? |
A77267 | whom seditiously minded, and thousought to compose him? |
A77267 | with what coldnesse rendred? |
A77267 | with what strict bonds of devotion would shee seemingly tye her? |
A77267 | yea, didst thou not make the very Earth, thy Lord, in preferring it before Heaven, and the hopes of a better life? |
A77267 | yet what did his innocence answer for it selfe but in silence? |
A77267 | yet ye have robbed me: but yee say, wherein have wee robbed thee? |
A77267 | — Oh has he not granted thy suite? |
A77267 | — Oh how many deliverances has he shewn unto thee? |
A77267 | — Oh with what tongue canst thou utter hallowed, seeing his name hath been by thee so much dishonoured? |
A27009 | & c. Is none of this Gospel? |
A27009 | & c. then to hear, so much in such a Feast? |
A27009 | ( And why should they call them Venial if they need not pardon?) |
A27009 | ( though not so well as you would perform them?) |
A27009 | 1 ▪ 7, 8, 9. and 2.12,& c. What more common? |
A27009 | 13.7, 17. should not the shepherd know his sheep, and their strayings and diseases? |
A27009 | Abels sacrifice was of the best, and it was accepted: And God saith to Cain, If thou do well, shalt not thou be accepted? |
A27009 | Alas, how ignorant are most of the best? |
A27009 | Alas, how is it possible then for us to forbear troubling you? |
A27009 | Alas, if we are so unfit to part with one outward comfort now, upon the disposal of our fathers providence, how should we forsake all for Christ? |
A27009 | Alas, what soul is so holy on the Earth, but must daily say, Forgive as our trespasses? |
A27009 | Alas, what work should we make, if we should stroak and smooth all men with Antinomian language? |
A27009 | Also, Suppose yet that you are Graceless: Is it nothing that a sufficient Sacrifice and Ransome is given for you? |
A27009 | And Whether we can love or serve God too much? |
A27009 | And also, is it not a great help to you, to hear other Christians tell how they have come into those troubles; and how they have got out of them? |
A27009 | And do not his Apostles go the same way? |
A27009 | And do you not Accept of Christ as he is offered therein? |
A27009 | And doth it not incroach much on the Lords own day? |
A27009 | And doth not Paul make it the Case of all Christians? |
A27009 | And even among these, What a number are grossely ignorant and prophane? |
A27009 | And for Communion with God, let me ask you: Have you no recourse to him by Prayer in your straits? |
A27009 | And here we are cast unavoidably to try whether we do perform our resolutions by actual obedience? |
A27009 | And how can one man, yea or five, do this to five thousand souls? |
A27009 | And how can such a one have any true Grace: or be saved? |
A27009 | And how come I to go on in the same fault my self? |
A27009 | And how should you dare to deny the same to your self? |
A27009 | And if yet any be troubled with this Doubt, if the Churches and Common trouble be any trouble to them, shall I be bold to tell them my thoughts? |
A27009 | And is it not so in too great a measure with the best on earth? |
A27009 | And is it not so with our Master? |
A27009 | And may not that Comfort ● e truly the Joy of the Holy Ghost? |
A27009 | And may we not take Comfort in that which tends to save our own and our brethrens souls? |
A27009 | And of these five that are Christians, how great a part are of the Aethiopian, Greek and Popish Churches? |
A27009 | And shall I keep the Devils counsel? |
A27009 | And shall we ever have low and suspicious thoughts of the Gracious and Mercifull Nature of Christ after so strange and full a discovery of it? |
A27009 | And then do I need to say any more to the Confirmation of the third Point, That few Christians reach this measure of Grace? |
A27009 | And then more dark is it and impossible to discover, How farre a man may go in these grosser sinnes; and yet have the prevalent habits of Grace? |
A27009 | And therefore it must needs be that the soul that most sinneth must needs be most in doubt whether the Interest of Christ or the flesh be predominant? |
A27009 | And what a snare is this to us, as well as a grief? |
A27009 | And what was the cause of his sorrow? |
A27009 | And whether some Temptations which overcome not a strong Christian, would not overcome a weak one, who yet hath true Grace? |
A27009 | Are not you less Censorious, and more Peaceable then heretofore? |
A27009 | Are not you ready in most of your fears, and doubts, and troubles, to go to God before all other for relief? |
A27009 | Are these signs that your day of Grace is over? |
A27009 | Are you fain to lye on your knees crying for Mercy? |
A27009 | Are you heartily willing to live in the performance of those holy and spiritual Duties of heart and life, which God hath absolutely commanded you? |
A27009 | Are you heartily willing to take Jesus Christ as he is offered in the Gospel? |
A27009 | Are you not more fully Resolved to stick to Christ to the death then formerly you have been? |
A27009 | Are you not resolved to stick to Christ and his holy Laws and Waies, whatever changes or dangers come? |
A27009 | Are you not willing to be more holy? |
A27009 | Are you not willing to wait on God in the use of his Ordinances, in that poor weak measure as you are able to perform them? |
A27009 | Are you willing to do this? |
A27009 | Art thou ever able to hold out in so strict a course? |
A27009 | As Austin saith, Shall we deny that which is plain, because we can not reach that which is obscure and difficult? |
A27009 | As if God had not done enough, or would not sufficiently afflict us? |
A27009 | Ask your self every morning, Which way may I this day most further my Masters business, and the Good of men? |
A27009 | Ask your self every night, What Good have I done to day? |
A27009 | At least is it not lawfull for man to judge as God doth? |
A27009 | BVt I am a stranger to the witness of the spirit, and the Joy of the Holy Ghost, and Communion with God, and therefore how can I be a true Believer? |
A27009 | Believers would rather have their Happiness in God then in the Creature: But how fain would they have it without Dying? |
A27009 | But doth not Scripture lay as much on Love, as on any Grace? |
A27009 | But have you Done all that he bid you? |
A27009 | But if God were so infinite in Mercy, as you say, Why doth he not make all these men willing, that so they may be saved? |
A27009 | But is it a Duty, or is it not? |
A27009 | But is it not the known voyce of Sensuality and Hell, to cast reproaches upon the way and ordinances of God? |
A27009 | But perhaps you will ask, Is doubting of our own sincerity and Salvation no sin? |
A27009 | But perhaps you will say, How should I get more Grace? |
A27009 | But still, it will be more difficult to shew punctually what this Imperfect or Virtual Justification is? |
A27009 | But suppose you do not grow? |
A27009 | But the flesh cries louder then both these, Wilt thou leave thy pleasures? |
A27009 | But what doth God say to them for it? |
A27009 | But what got he at this one game? |
A27009 | But what is that? |
A27009 | But what''s all this to you that do Repent? |
A27009 | But where do you find that in Gods Word? |
A27009 | But who bid you look for any better? |
A27009 | But will this means serve turn, or must the same course be taken, to remove the sorrows of the wilfully disobedient? |
A27009 | But( you may say) what if God call me not to suffering or hazards? |
A27009 | But, alas, how hard is this lesson learned? |
A27009 | Can he that erreth be fully perswaded in his errour? |
A27009 | Can not he make a Law that shall change its Moral Action according to the change of the actions or inclinations of sinners? |
A27009 | Can not you forbear most of the actual sinnes you commit, and perform the duties that you omit, if you be Willing? |
A27009 | Can not you resist Pride, Worldliness and Sensuality if you be willing? |
A27009 | Can there be Communication of Prayer, and Obedience from you? |
A27009 | Can you doubt whether God be willing to give you Christ and Life, when he hath given them already? |
A27009 | Can you have Cause to fear that your day of Grace is over, that have Received Grace? |
A27009 | Can you not ▪ nay ought you not to put your self to greater labour for mens souls? |
A27009 | Certainly you have more reason? |
A27009 | Consider first in how narrow a compass the Church was confined before Christs coming in the flesh? |
A27009 | DO you know what the spirit of Prayer is? |
A27009 | Did Christ come to save any but sinners, and such as were lost? |
A27009 | Did he weep over a rejected unbeleeving people, and was he desirous of their desolation? |
A27009 | Did not the Devil get more in his Gown in a day, then he could get by his Sword in three hundred years? |
A27009 | Did not the rich young man go farre before he would break off with Christ? |
A27009 | Did not this one act found the Seat of Rome? |
A27009 | Did not you hear and believe that Christ dyed for sin, as soon as you understood your Sin and Misery? |
A27009 | Do I need to go over the other particulars? |
A27009 | Do I need to prove that to you? |
A27009 | Do Rich men never think to lie rotting in the dust? |
A27009 | Do not worldly hopes delight you too much? |
A27009 | Do not you cut short duties in your family and in secret, if not frequently omit them, that so you may be again at your worldly business? |
A27009 | Do not you daily strive against the flesh, and keep it under, and deny it its desires? |
A27009 | Do not your very speeches of Christ and heaven grow few and strange, because the world must first be served? |
A27009 | Do these men think that a Rebell may have the love of his Prince, and as much comfort from him as a Loyal subject? |
A27009 | Do they not know that it will comfort them more at Death& Judgement, to hear in their reckoning, Item so much given to such& such Poor? |
A27009 | Do they think that Christ himself knew not what it was to preach Christ? |
A27009 | Do you lose your Children? |
A27009 | Do you lose your Goods? |
A27009 | Do you lose your Health? |
A27009 | Do you not Desire Christ and Grace, Justification and Sanctification? |
A27009 | Do you not deny the world when it would hinder you from works of Mercy or publique Good, according to your ability? |
A27009 | Do you not feel some unquietness in your sinful Condition? |
A27009 | Do you not feel that God made these fears at your first conversion, the first and a principal means of your Recovery? |
A27009 | Do you not hear God daily offering you Christ and Grace? |
A27009 | Do you not look to God as him who alone is able to supply your wants, and bids you ask that you may receive? |
A27009 | Do you not understand the things of the Spirit better then you formerly did? |
A27009 | Do you not value God, Christ, Glory and Grace at higher rates then formerly? |
A27009 | Do you not wait at his mouth for the Law and direction of your life? |
A27009 | Do you perform them, or do you not? |
A27009 | Do you see, and hear, and feel, and taste Mercy and Love? |
A27009 | Do you think Christs satisfaction is not sufficient? |
A27009 | Do you think that God hath any Pleasure in your sorrows as such? |
A27009 | Do you think you must needs Despair, or give up all Hope and Comfort, or conclude your self irrecoverably lost, because you are Graceless? |
A27009 | Do you utterly despair of help, and to seek to none? |
A27009 | Do you value Christ above the world? |
A27009 | Doth God seem to forsake you? |
A27009 | Doth God so much regard this dirty flesh, that he should do all this meerly for its ease and relief? |
A27009 | Doth Gods Spirit breath out Groans after Christ and Grace, within you? |
A27009 | Doth any of the Apostles speak more of hell- fire, and the worm that never dyeth, and the fire that never is quenched, their Christ himself doth? |
A27009 | Doth it do him Good to see you dejected, afflicted and tormented? |
A27009 | Doth not the love of the world make you hard to your servants? |
A27009 | Doth not the very language of complaining Christians shew this? |
A27009 | Doth not your soul stick so fast in this mud and clay, that you can scarce stirre it Godward in Prayer or heavenly Meditation? |
A27009 | Doth not your troubled spirit there finde its first vent? |
A27009 | Doth there need any more to the establishing of the Romish and Hellish darkness? |
A27009 | Examine, whether the thoughts of the world grow not sweeter to you, and the thoughts of God and glory more unwelcome, and unpleasing? |
A27009 | For how can there be greater then the turning of a soul from the creature to the Creator? |
A27009 | For how few Believers be there that understand well, what is a sound evidence, and what not? |
A27009 | For when a man is enquiring into the state of his soul, Whether he do subject himself to Christ as his only Soveraign? |
A27009 | Go into the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature:( what''s that Gospel?) |
A27009 | God is the first suitor and solicitor: God Prayes you to Take Christ, and you Pray him to give you Christ: what have you now to do, but to Take him? |
A27009 | God offereth his Love in Christ, and Christ with all his benefits to you: Are you willing to Accept them? |
A27009 | Had David no former experiences to remind? |
A27009 | Had you any of these holy desires, endeavors or resolutions of your self by nature? |
A27009 | Hath God forgotten to be gratious? |
A27009 | Hath it not been thus oft with you? |
A27009 | Hath not Christ led us, commanded us and taught us this way? |
A27009 | Have not these fears been chief preservers of your diligence and integrity ever since? |
A27009 | Have not you both these? |
A27009 | Have you discountenance from men? |
A27009 | Have you horrid temptations? |
A27009 | Have you made Conscience of the Duties of Praise, Thanksgiving and Cheerful Obedience, as much as of Grieving for sin? |
A27009 | Have you made conscience of this great duty according to its excellency and these pressing Commands of God? |
A27009 | Have you no Pity now on such stupid souls as these? |
A27009 | Have you received no holy desires, or other Graces from him? |
A27009 | Have you strong lusts? |
A27009 | He requireth that you Delight your self in him: And how can you do that when you habituate both mind and body to a sad, dejected, mournful garb? |
A27009 | How came you by that Grace of holy Des ● res? |
A27009 | How came you to desire that you were such a one as God would have you to be? |
A27009 | How can you then say, that you have no Communion with him? |
A27009 | How can you think then that he will take pleasure in your consuming and destroying your own bodies? |
A27009 | How could he have manifested more willingness to save? |
A27009 | How desirous are diseased persons to talk with others that have had the same disease? |
A27009 | How easily may a Christian try himself at such a time when God is trying him? |
A27009 | How easily put off with an excuse? |
A27009 | How easy to maintain two or three poor Scholars at the Universities for the service of the Church? |
A27009 | How else shall he cure them? |
A27009 | How exceeding smal a number is left then that are such as you? |
A27009 | How fully might this be proved from the examples of Job, David, Jeremy and others in Scripture? |
A27009 | How little Love, or Faith, or Zeal, or heavenly- mindedness, or Delight in God, have they? |
A27009 | How little acquainted with their own hearts? |
A27009 | How many have taught them that the least unfeigned Love to God, or to the Brethren, is a certain Mark of saving Grace? |
A27009 | How many have the Antin ● mians and Anabaptists thus seduced? |
A27009 | How o ● t hath the Devil preached thus, to tye the hands of those that might wound him? |
A27009 | How oft doth the Holy Ghost press this upon us? |
A27009 | How oft hath God professed to resist and take down the Proud, and to give Grace to the humble and dwell with them? |
A27009 | How sad a thing is it, that we should thus add to our own Afflictions? |
A27009 | How tenderly did Christ deal with all sorts of sinners? |
A27009 | How then should a man know just when he was past the highest step of common or preparative Grace, and arived at the first step of special Grace? |
A27009 | How unacquainted with a frequent exercise of these Graces? |
A27009 | How unacquainted with the way of self- examination? |
A27009 | How was Davids zeal for Justice allaied, as soon as he heard, Thou art the man? |
A27009 | How will you answer God for the neglect of all that service which you should have done him, and might, if you had not disabled your bodies and minds? |
A27009 | How? |
A27009 | I am content to stand to the Judgement of all humble self- knowing Christians, whether this be not true of most of themselves? |
A27009 | I would ask you but this: Whether you are willing or unwilling of all that hardness, insensibleness, and dulness which you complain of? |
A27009 | If Christ were not first willing, he would not be the suitor and make the motion: and if he be willing, and you be willing, what can break the match? |
A27009 | If I be a Father where is mine honour? |
A27009 | If Tormenting Fears and Doubtings be a sin, why do you not make Conscience of them? |
A27009 | If he had such power of you, would you not think your self certainly his slave? |
A27009 | If not, how unwisely have you done? |
A27009 | If then it be glad tidings and tidings of great joy to all the unconverted where it comes, why should it not be so to you? |
A27009 | If these men will not hear him, but wilfully poison themselves, is he therefore unmercifull? |
A27009 | If thou Do Well, shalt thou not be Accepted? |
A27009 | If you are willing of it, what makes you complain of it? |
A27009 | If you ask me why I speak so much of these things here? |
A27009 | If you be Graceless, is it nothing to know that God is exceeding merciful, slow to anger, ready to forgive, pardoning iniquity, transgression and sin? |
A27009 | If you have a thorn in your foot, will you go on halting and lamenting, or will you pull it out? |
A27009 | If you say, I can not help it: why then do you cherish them? |
A27009 | If you send reapers into your harvest, which would you like better? |
A27009 | If you will make Promises to your self, and then your own Promises deceive you, whom should you blame for that? |
A27009 | If you will put your head under every stroke that we give against sin and sinners, how can we help it if you smart? |
A27009 | If your Child offend you, would you have him when he is pardoned no longer to believe it then you are telling it him? |
A27009 | If your Doubting be onely Whether you be sincere in Beli ● ving, Loving, Hoping, Repenting and Obeying? |
A27009 | If your day of Grace be past, tell me,( and do not wrong God) Where had you the Grace of Repentance? |
A27009 | If your selves make the suffering, how can you with any encouragement beg strength of God to bear it? |
A27009 | Is Baptism to be Reformed? |
A27009 | Is his glory worth no more then so? |
A27009 | Is his mercy clean gone for ever? |
A27009 | Is it not a foolish Patient that will come home from the Physitian, and say, I have heard all that he said: but I am never the better? |
A27009 | Is it not better venture thy self in the same way as thou hast gone in, as well as others do, and as so many of thy forefathers have done before thee? |
A27009 | Is it not the grief of your soul when you fall? |
A27009 | Is it not thus with you? |
A27009 | Is it not your daily care and business to please God, and do his will, and avoid sinning in your weak measure? |
A27009 | Is it nothing to know that the Lord hath brought Infinite Mercy and Goodness down into humane flesh? |
A27009 | Is it nothing to you, that all your sins have a sufficient Sacrifice paid for them, so that you are certain not to perish for want of a Ransom? |
A27009 | Is not he thy Father that bought thee? |
A27009 | Is not here enough got at one Cast? |
A27009 | Is not this the common case of Godly people? |
A27009 | Is not your complaint in this the very same that the eminentest Christians have used in all times? |
A27009 | Is not your heart raised to a Hope that yet God is mercifull to you, and means you good? |
A27009 | Is there no ground of comfort in these examples of the Saints? |
A27009 | Is there not a middle between these two? |
A27009 | It is well that you desire them: But though you be not Certain of Salvation, do not you see a great likelihood, a Probability in all this? |
A27009 | It may be you will say, But God is no Father to the Graceless? |
A27009 | It s possible some do so: But if by these perswasions the silly people should lose their lives, how well had their new preacher befriended them? |
A27009 | Know ye not that to whom ye Yield your selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey? |
A27009 | Know ye not that to whom ye yield your selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey? |
A27009 | Lay these now to your own heart, and tell me, Are you not unfeignedly willing to have Christ on the termes that he is offered? |
A27009 | Let me ask you now whether you have indeed taken this course in your doubtings? |
A27009 | Matter of Sorrow and Matter of Doubting? |
A27009 | May not he well say to you, If you set so much by the world, take it, and see what it will do for you? |
A27009 | May not wicked men be Willing to have Christ? |
A27009 | Moreover, is it not a reviving thing, to hear Christians open the Goodness of the Lord? |
A27009 | Must the Lord set up Love and Mercy in the work of Redemption, to be equally admired with his Omnipotency manifested in the Creation? |
A27009 | Must you needs be esteemed either Innocent, or Hypocrites, or such as shall be damned? |
A27009 | Nay how can you pray for deliverance from Gods Afflictings, when you make more of your own? |
A27009 | Nay may it not draw out your heart in Love, Delight and Thankfulness? |
A27009 | Nay, are you sure that you are not a member of Christ, who is one with him? |
A27009 | Nay, what if you had no Grace? |
A27009 | Now I am perswaded that you frequently see a strong Probability of your Sincerity: and may not that be a very great stay and comfort to your soul? |
A27009 | Now I would but ask those very Christians that think they do know the very Sermon that converted them, Did that Sermon bring you to this Resolution? |
A27009 | Now can any man on earth tell us just how great or how often sinning will stand with true Grace, and how much will not? |
A27009 | Now do not you Believe the truth of the Gospel? |
A27009 | Now how should an unwilling soul be made willing? |
A27009 | Now if this were none of his Nature, how could he be the pattern of our new nature herein? |
A27009 | Now in this Case, how shall those that have but little Grace be able to discern it? |
A27009 | Now is not this as much as belongs to God as Governour of the Creature according to its Nature? |
A27009 | Now what man can punctually determine just how often a true Christian may be guilty of any such omission? |
A27009 | Now what''s the use that I would have you make of this? |
A27009 | Now your first work is, Presently to accept it: not to make an unseasonable enquiry, Whether Christ be yours? |
A27009 | O but yet he will not save the Graceless? |
A27009 | O how narrow is the path between these two mistaken roads? |
A27009 | O if a poor bruised, wounded soul had but heard this Sermon from his Saviours own mouth; what heart- meltings would it have caused? |
A27009 | O that you knew what a Work of wonderfull Mercy, Wisdom and Power the Spirit performeth in the renewing of a soul? |
A27009 | O what the Devil hath got by Over- doing? |
A27009 | Oh how gloriously doth a tried faith shine, to the comfort of the Believer, and the admiration of the Beholders? |
A27009 | Or Him that would do his work chearfully as well as he can? |
A27009 | Or do you make your addresses by Prayer to any but God? |
A27009 | Or do you not customarily hurry them over because the world will not allow you leasure to be serious? |
A27009 | Or else how could holy men rejoyce in Tribulation, and be exceeding glad that they are accounted worthy to suffer for Christ? |
A27009 | Or have the ungodly about you any of them? |
A27009 | Or if you were ready to famish, and food were offered you; would you stand asking first, How shall I know that it is mine? |
A27009 | Or that your corn is growing on your land, or your cattel in your grounds any longer then you are looking on them? |
A27009 | Or was it not only some troubling, rowsing preparation hereto? |
A27009 | Perhaps you will say, What comfort is there in this to a poor weak Christian? |
A27009 | Seeing therefore that all the question will be, Whether you have true Faith? |
A27009 | Shall I lay open all the matter expressed in this section, by a familiar comparison? |
A27009 | Shall he do such wonders in you and for you, and you not know it, or acknowledge it? |
A27009 | Shall not Love be acknowledged to be Love, when it s grown to a Miracle? |
A27009 | Shew me, if you can, where the Scripture saith, He that can not Weep for sin, shall not be Saved, or hath no true Grace? |
A27009 | Should he be still asking you over and over every day, Father, am I forgiven, or no? |
A27009 | Should not one answer serve his turn? |
A27009 | So also in sins of Commission: Alas, what sins did Noah, Lot, David, Solomon, Asa, Peter,& c. commit? |
A27009 | So that you had rather have him, and Gods favour, and a Holy heart and life, then all the glory of the World? |
A27009 | Suppose it be so: Do you see no great Likelyhood or hopes yet that they are sincere? |
A27009 | Suppose you are yet Graceless, is it nothing to you that it is a God of Infinite Mercy that you have to do with? |
A27009 | THe Question is not, with God, what you have been, but what you are? |
A27009 | Tell me now whether the first of these sick persons be not like to be more troubled then the other? |
A27009 | The Heathen could tell him that askt him, How men might be like to God? |
A27009 | The Question Answered, Whether all Virtue be in the middle? |
A27009 | The Question therefore is not whether you have an unwillingness& backwardness to Good? |
A27009 | The third part is Thankfulness and Praise? |
A27009 | The word is nigh you, even the offer of Grace: you need not say, who shall ascend to Heaven, or go down to hell? |
A27009 | This is the sin against the Holy Ghost: And dare you say that you are guilty of this? |
A27009 | This will necessitate you to further Unthankfulness: for who can be Thankful for a Mercy that thinks he never received it? |
A27009 | Though you may do it with backwardness, and dullness, and weakness, yet do you Do it? |
A27009 | Thus you speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? |
A27009 | To dream of Perfection on earth, is to dream of Heaven on earth: And if Assurance may be here perfect, why not all our Graces? |
A27009 | To hear them give you their frequent and full experiences of Gods hearing and answering their Prayers, and helping them in their distresses? |
A27009 | Was it Prosperity, and Riches, and Credit, and Friends, that God called you to Believe for? |
A27009 | Was it never in the power of our Rulers to have helpt us here? |
A27009 | Was it not a base wickedness in them that offered their Children in sacrifice, to think that God would be pleased with such cruelty? |
A27009 | Was not this Reverend Zeal? |
A27009 | Was not this a low ebb and a sad case that David was in? |
A27009 | Was nothing sold for other uses, that was once Devoted and Dedicated to God, and might have helpt us in this our miserable distress? |
A27009 | We have looked for Wonders from Scotland, and what is come of it? |
A27009 | Were you not acquainted with the evil of sin, and danger and misery of sinners in your very Childhood? |
A27009 | What Comfort would such an Answer give them? |
A27009 | What a multitude of such passages may you find in Scripture? |
A27009 | What a number of these choice experiences do we all receive? |
A27009 | What abundance of difficulties will be in the way? |
A27009 | What can be more contrary to its nature, and to Gods design in forming it, then for the Professors to live such dejected and dolorous lives? |
A27009 | What can be plainer? |
A27009 | What cure now should a wise man wish to such people as these? |
A27009 | What doctrine could more desperately undo you if entertained? |
A27009 | What if your godly friends should come about you in this Case, and bend all their wits and speeches to perswade you that you are but an Hypocrite? |
A27009 | What is your reason? |
A27009 | What opportunities of Doing very great Good hath been long in their hands? |
A27009 | What then is all the rest of the work? |
A27009 | When God in the Gospel bids you, Take Jesus Christ, and beseecheth you to be reconciled to him; what will you say to him? |
A27009 | When you see your brother have need, do you not shut up the bowels of your compassions from him? |
A27009 | Where do you finde in Scripture that none who have true Grace, do sin knowingly or Deliberately? |
A27009 | Where doth Scripture say as you say? |
A27009 | Where hath God laid our salvation upon the strength of our Memories, the Readiness of our Tongues, or measure of the like Gifts? |
A27009 | Whether you do perform the Condition of the new Covenant? |
A27009 | Who dare say, I am more Mercifull then God? |
A27009 | Who ever meets with a distressed complaining soul, where one or both of these is not apparent? |
A27009 | Who knows how many souls they may win to Christ( if God shall send them forth into his harvest) whom you have thus assisted? |
A27009 | Who knows not that the Consolation of Martyrs is usually above other mens, who hath read of their sufferings and strange sustentations? |
A27009 | Who made you Willing to have Christ for your Lord and Saviour? |
A27009 | Why do you not do this instead of Doubting? |
A27009 | Why is it that you can scarce name a Creature near you, that is not a scourge to you, but because you can scarce name one that is not your Idol? |
A27009 | Why then do you entertain them? |
A27009 | Why then do you that are Believers, so much forget the End of your Faith? |
A27009 | Will he ever give his Mercy and the blood of his Son, to one that hath so abused it? |
A27009 | Will the Lord ever save such an unworthy wretch as I? |
A27009 | Will this ever cast out Tormenting Fears? |
A27009 | Will you do any thing save what you should do? |
A27009 | Will you not believe that your money is in your purse or chest any longer then you are looking on it? |
A27009 | Will you please the Devil so far, and so far contradict the gracious way of Christ, as that you will needs either sin still, or Despair? |
A27009 | Will you strive as much to work it to this Delight as ever you did to work it to sorrow? |
A27009 | Will you therefore Doubt because you have slavish fears? |
A27009 | Wilt thou beggar thy self? |
A27009 | Would not this put you harder to it? |
A27009 | Would these men have fought well by Sea or Land, if they had apprehended no danger? |
A27009 | Would they avoid fire, or water, or thieves; but through an apprehension of danger? |
A27009 | Would they take Physick when they are sick? |
A27009 | Would you not be angry at such childish unprofitable diligence or curiosity as is a hindrance to your work? |
A27009 | Would you rather that God had permitted you to do this? |
A27009 | Would you see any further how he hath play''d this successful game of Over- doing? |
A27009 | Would you speed better then the best? |
A27009 | Would you, in the midst of your groans, and complaints, and fears, take it for a small mercy, to be certain that you shall have Christ if you will? |
A27009 | YOur soul stands in extreme need of a Saviour: God offereth you a Saviour in the Gospel, what then have you next to do, but Accept him? |
A27009 | Yea among our selves hath the Devil used successfully this plot: What Confession of the purest Church hath not some more then is in Scripture? |
A27009 | Yet in a godly jealousie and distrust of your own heart, do renounce your own strength, and resolve to do this only in the strength of Christ? |
A27009 | You have had Hopes and Probabilites of your sincerity: Did you endeavor to answer those Probabilities in your Joys? |
A27009 | [ Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? |
A27009 | and Overseers of them? |
A27009 | and Resolve to choose him before the world? |
A27009 | and Taken all the Medicines that he gave you? |
A27009 | and a Communication of any life of Grace from God, by Christ and the Spirit? |
A27009 | and all because of their Afflictions? |
A27009 | and all this on Condition of your Acceptance or Consent? |
A27009 | and all this without Communion? |
A27009 | and also of the necessity of a Saviour, and that Christ dyed to save all sinners that will believe and Repent? |
A27009 | and are not quite past all Remedy? |
A27009 | and are you heartily sorry that you perform them no better? |
A27009 | and beg of him to make you so? |
A27009 | and bewail it that you have been so guilty of them? |
A27009 | and call forth the World to this sweet imployment, that in Secret and in Publick it might be the business of our lives? |
A27009 | and come not among them? |
A27009 | and cry out with Paul, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? |
A27009 | and deny the Lord that bought them? |
A27009 | and deride thy holy word as a fable? |
A27009 | and desire you could do it better? |
A27009 | and do not your duty for the saving of their souls? |
A27009 | and do you not after sinning Resolve to be more watchfull for the time to come? |
A27009 | and doth not Christ say, that except we Love him above all, we can not be his Disciples? |
A27009 | and doth not your heart sigh and groan to him when you can scarcely speak? |
A27009 | and endeavour to Do it better then you have formerly done? |
A27009 | and for all their Time, and Power, and Interests? |
A27009 | and hath he deserved no better at your hands? |
A27009 | and hath not this fastned on your heart, and been working in you by Degrees ever since? |
A27009 | and hath taken on him the most blessed office of Reconciling, and is become the Lamb of God? |
A27009 | and how God dealt with them while they lay under them? |
A27009 | and how backward to it? |
A27009 | and how carnal and corrupt even that visible Church then was? |
A27009 | and how dull and careless in it? |
A27009 | and how few of those are fit to begin here the works of their Priestly Office, which they must live in for ever? |
A27009 | and how hard a thing, and how rare is it to finde it and to keep in it? |
A27009 | and how little tenderness of Conscience, and care of obeying have they? |
A27009 | and how mutable are their Apprehensions? |
A27009 | and how soon do they lose that Assurance which they once attain? |
A27009 | and if I be a Master where is my fear? |
A27009 | and if he were not infinitely Mercifull himself, how could we be required to be Mercifull as he is? |
A27009 | and if you have not strength, what will you do? |
A27009 | and is it unmercifulness yet if such men perish? |
A27009 | and just how long he may continue it? |
A27009 | and lament your misdoing it? |
A27009 | and look so kindly on a competitor? |
A27009 | and make your life a blessed life? |
A27009 | and more tender compassion to the souls of men, then he hath fully manifested? |
A27009 | and much more your worldly possessions? |
A27009 | and of how much soarer punishment shall he be thought worthy that treads under foot the blood of the Covenant? |
A27009 | and of living after the flesh, and preferring the world before him? |
A27009 | and own them? |
A27009 | and perform these Resolutions? |
A27009 | and plead and dispute for them? |
A27009 | and preach more for them? |
A27009 | and rather forget you in a Sermon then them? |
A27009 | and rather to forsake friends and all that you have, then to forsake him? |
A27009 | and say you do well to Doubt, and you have Cause? |
A27009 | and so whether he did sincerely take Christ for his Soveraign? |
A27009 | and so whether his obedience be true or no? |
A27009 | and so you have no time to deal in good earnest with Christ or your soul? |
A27009 | and some motions and strivings at your heart to get out of it? |
A27009 | and study more for them? |
A27009 | and tell us which be so Damning, and which not? |
A27009 | and that Repentance and sincere Obedience, are parts of the Condition of the new Covenant? |
A27009 | and that for which it is that you Believe? |
A27009 | and that in particulars, as upon experience they have found him to their own souls? |
A27009 | and that is, whether he be a true Believer? |
A27009 | and that they watch for their souls, as those that must give an account? |
A27009 | and that to his Disciples? |
A27009 | and that you are so troubled that you can not do it? |
A27009 | and that you were able to Love God, and Delight in him, and please him even in perfection? |
A27009 | and the Bodies Resurrection that must shortly follow? |
A27009 | and the people therefore bound to obey them? |
A27009 | and the rest to leave my Posterity in the like pomp? |
A27009 | and therefore daily beg it of him? |
A27009 | and think so meanly of it, and so hardly acknowledge it? |
A27009 | and this without any change in God? |
A27009 | and to be undone? |
A27009 | and to desire that all your sins were dead, and might never live in you more? |
A27009 | and to finde this to be the summe of the Gospel? |
A27009 | and to forsake all and lay down thy life for Christ? |
A27009 | and to give such loving entertainment to his enemy? |
A27009 | and to use the means with more resolution and diligence? |
A27009 | and try whether whether it will not be the truest way to comfort? |
A27009 | and upon every occasion quite lose the sight of their evidences? |
A27009 | and was not the Devil seemingly now a Christian of the most judicious and forward sort? |
A27009 | and what an addition to your comfort this may be? |
A27009 | and what an unconstancy and unevenness is there in our Peace? |
A27009 | and what distractions and tumults are there in their thoughts? |
A27009 | and what hath he left to support his soul? |
A27009 | and what helped them? |
A27009 | and what the duties be which he may possibly so omit, and what not? |
A27009 | and where is your great joy? |
A27009 | and whether it will not remove almost all the fears and troubles of the latter to hear of a Certain Remedy as soon as he heareth of the disease? |
A27009 | and whether the Authority and Love of Christ will do more with him, then the temptations of the world, flesh and devil? |
A27009 | and wil you after all this oppose the greatness of your sins against the greatness of this Mercy and Satisfaction? |
A27009 | and will he be favourable no more? |
A27009 | and would he not compel you to come in? |
A27009 | and would not the Hope of Salvation draw you from sin to duty, without the fear of Damnation in Hell? |
A27009 | and yet do you still doubt of it? |
A27009 | and yet is the day of Grace over? |
A27009 | and yet shall it be so overlookt or questioned, as if you lived without Love and Mercy in the World? |
A27009 | and you have seen the Name of God engraven on them? |
A27009 | and your greatest trouble that you can not walk more obediently, innocently and fruitfully? |
A27009 | as Iobs friends did by him? |
A27009 | but think it belongs not to you but to others? |
A27009 | do not belye your own heart, and tell me, Had you not rather be Holy then Unholy? |
A27009 | do they never think that they must be accountable for all their Riches? |
A27009 | do you Live wholly on it? |
A27009 | doing it by the halves, as Laban searched Rachels Tent? |
A27009 | doth his promise fail for evermore? |
A27009 | either danger of sinning, or falling away, or perishing for ever? |
A27009 | for once that I have heard it demanded, How should I bring my heart to love them better? |
A27009 | for once that you ask, How shall I know that I believe or love? |
A27009 | for so have all: Nor yet whether you have any cold uneffect ● al wishes? |
A27009 | for so have the ungodly: Bu ● whether your Willingness be not more then your unwillingness? |
A27009 | hard to those you buy and sell with? |
A27009 | hath he in anger shut up his tender mercy? |
A27009 | hath he not made thee and established thee? |
A27009 | he hath no way to be resolved but by feeling the Pulse of his own Will? |
A27009 | how bold are they in sinning? |
A27009 | how confused are their mindes? |
A27009 | how frequently do they wound Conscience, provoke God, and obscure their Evidences? |
A27009 | how much deceitfulness remaineth in their hearts? |
A27009 | is he unmercifull unless he will do so by all the rest of his Kingdom? |
A27009 | loving mankinde? |
A27009 | must I cast my self upon it without a Call? |
A27009 | no arguments of comfort to consider of? |
A27009 | nor preaching Christ? |
A27009 | or a stubborn rebellious son or servant have as much love and comfort from their Father or Master as the dutifull? |
A27009 | or a whorish woman have as much love and comfort from her husband, as a faithfull Wife? |
A27009 | or after better accommodations and contentments in House, Goods, or other worldly things? |
A27009 | or at least, after a fuller portion and provision for your children? |
A27009 | or by such a signe the turning point may be certainly known? |
A27009 | or could I endure to die so many times over? |
A27009 | or deep wounds in conscience, or a heavy burthen of doubtings or distress? |
A27009 | or make thy self a scorn and mocking stock to the world? |
A27009 | or must I be therefore without Comfort? |
A27009 | or not? |
A27009 | or pitty them not as you should? |
A27009 | or that he dyed for small sins and not for great? |
A27009 | or that he set us a patern too low for our imitation? |
A27009 | or that thou mightest sin no more? |
A27009 | or that you became Christians for, or that you had an absolute promise of in the Word? |
A27009 | or whether Scripture be true, or the Soul immortal? |
A27009 | or whether he should go in the foot- path, or in the road? |
A27009 | or whether it be not a very little sin? |
A27009 | or whether they should not let Christ alone to do it himself? |
A27009 | or with Satans temptations, and waies of deceiving? |
A27009 | or would you not presently Take it that it may be yours? |
A27009 | or, at least, which you do not expect more from, then you ought? |
A27009 | pleasing to God, then displeasing? |
A27009 | should we more regard the comforting of one, then the saving of an hundred? |
A27009 | should you not wish us so to do? |
A27009 | should you therefore deny the sincerity of your Grace? |
A27009 | so much at dice, at cards, at horse- races, at cock- fights? |
A27009 | so much in excess of Apparel? |
A27009 | so much to maintain poor Scholars while they study to prepare themselves for the Ministry? |
A27009 | so much to promote the Gospel? |
A27009 | their Low expectations from God hereafter, or their high expectations from the Creature now? |
A27009 | though yet you had no further Assurance how you should be used? |
A27009 | to a wicked generation, whose spot was not the spot of his children, Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? |
A27009 | to drive you to a serious consideration of your state and waies, and to look after Christ with more longing and estimation? |
A27009 | to entertain such Gallants? |
A27009 | to help our Infirmities in Prayer: but how? |
A27009 | to please such Noble friends? |
A27009 | to wit, Chearful Amendment? |
A27009 | what a fearful guilt should we draw upon our own souls ▪ Nay, what a snare may you thus prove to the greater part of the Congregation? |
A27009 | what hurt them? |
A27009 | what if we should he so moved with compassion of your troubles, as to fit almost all our Doctrine and Application to you? |
A27009 | what need you a Saviour, if you were not Condemned? |
A27009 | when he saith, The Good which I Would do, I do not? |
A27009 | when you found a want of Faith and Love, have not you weakened them more, and so made them less discernable? |
A27009 | whether of sin unto Death, or of Obedience unto Righteousness? |
A27009 | whether of sin unto death, or of Obedience unto Righteousness?] |
A27009 | whether you have not an eagerness after a fuller estate, and too keen an edge upon your desires after riches? |
A27009 | who can finde those punctual bounds in the Word of God? |
A27009 | who knoweth not that it is the very Office of the Ministery, to be Teachers and Guides to men in matters of salvation? |
A27009 | will you make it your end in hearing, reading, praying and meditation to raise your soul to Delight in God? |
A27009 | wilt thou be made a scorn or laughing stock to all? |
A27009 | wilt thou undo thy self? |
A27009 | with no more cheerfulness, delight, success and constancy? |
A27009 | would it not revive you, and overcome your fears? |
A27009 | would you spend your time and thoughts in searching whether this Pardon be already yours? |
A27009 | yea and Remit their actual Resolutions, and so lose much of the Evidence it self? |
A27009 | yea your own self delivered up to Christ? |
A26905 | & c. Dare you take all this for your portion if you had it? |
A26905 | ( O but how long will they do so?) |
A26905 | 1, 2,& c. and abundance such in the word of God: And yet are you not afraid of worldliness or sensuality? |
A26905 | 10. will you tell him that he exalteth himself against Grace? |
A26905 | 21. and to bring them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God? |
A26905 | A beast may have his sensual delight as well as you? |
A26905 | A toad abhorreth not the company of a toad; but shall not a man abhor it? |
A26905 | Also I would know, Are you certainly acquainted with their particular estates? |
A26905 | And Consider what it hath done for them all? |
A26905 | And I pray you tell me, Do you think that the works in which they differ from you are good or bad? |
A26905 | And I pray you tell me, Whether you do not your selves believe that a sober, temperate, heavenly Christian doth live as comfortable a life as you? |
A26905 | And I would desire you to tell me, if covetousness be among them, Whether you are able to charge it upon their Religion or Profession? |
A26905 | And are these men Crucified to the world? |
A26905 | And as for the improvement of their talents for God, What is to be seen? |
A26905 | And be of that mind which then you must condemn your selves? |
A26905 | And can you do this, when you love and delight in the world above him, or in opposition to him? |
A26905 | And can you expect mercy and salvation, that wilfully and knowingly do set your selves against it, and reject it? |
A26905 | And can you see no difference between a Worldly action, and a Worldly life? |
A26905 | And can your reputation be less then none? |
A26905 | And do you think it is not as bad and as dangerous to do so, as to say so? |
A26905 | And do you think that he will take this for a good account? |
A26905 | And do you think that this is a sin to be endured? |
A26905 | And dost thou think that thou art sufficient for thy self? |
A26905 | And have you performed that vow? |
A26905 | And he that could challenge them,[ which of you convinceth me of sin?] |
A26905 | And how can money be better husbanded? |
A26905 | And how then can you believe the word of God, which so often telleth you, what a hinderance Riches and Honours are to mens salvation? |
A26905 | And if man be better then a beast, do you think he is not capable of a better and higher delight then beasts? |
A26905 | And if thou hast received it, why shouldst thou glory as if thou hadst not received it? |
A26905 | And if ye salu ● e your brethren only, what do you more then others? |
A26905 | And if you be Poor, what an impatient complaining life do you live? |
A26905 | And is Christ worth no more, then to be sold with Judas for so base a price? |
A26905 | And is a state of such uncertain tenure so valuable? |
A26905 | And is it a dishonour to Christ to acknowledge him in us, and to say that we Live by him? |
A26905 | And is it not Necessary to your salvation that you be delivered from the enemies of your salvation? |
A26905 | And is it possible for a man to be a Christian indeed, that so far mistaketh the very Nature and Ends of Christianity it self? |
A26905 | And is such a man fit to live in his sight? |
A26905 | And is that all? |
A26905 | And is the case so altered think you now, as that you are bound to make such children rich, that parents then were bound to put to death? |
A26905 | And is this a benefit to rejoyce in? |
A26905 | And is this a matter of so great worth? |
A26905 | And is this thy requital of him? |
A26905 | And may we not observe and glory in that mercy, that enableth us to give God the glory of all mercies? |
A26905 | And must it not be so then to villifie or not to magnifie the works of the Sanctifyer? |
A26905 | And must not a people so holy, and peculiar, adore and hallow the Lord in his works? |
A26905 | And seeing all this is so, doth it not concern us all to make a speedy tryal of our selves in preparation to this final tryal? |
A26905 | And shall we not glory in that which is beloved of God? |
A26905 | And should you not look on that which will be, even as if it were already? |
A26905 | And then the thing that I would know of you is, Which be the Saints of God, if these be not; and where shall we find them? |
A26905 | And these sensual and covetous idolators must be asked,[ Whom will you match with God? |
A26905 | And what God will judge of you, if you so continue? |
A26905 | And what doth that man deserve that would, as to the use, destroy all the world, and frustrate all Gods works both of Creation and Redempion? |
A26905 | And what is it that hath the prevalent stream of your desires and endeavours? |
A26905 | And what the matter of your chiefest care? |
A26905 | And what then do these men do, but sell their salvation for the vanities of the world? |
A26905 | And what wonder if the house be robbed, where the doors stand alwaies open, and all is common to every passenger? |
A26905 | And what''s a Spiritual house for, but the habitation of the Lord, and the performance of his service? |
A26905 | And when Christ doth so vehemently disswade his followers from this damning sin, he doth it by setting a Law upon their Thoughts: Why take ye Thought? |
A26905 | And when Christ hath shed his blood to Absolve them, whether is it likely that he will take it well at them that vilifie them? |
A26905 | And when Iesus saw that he was sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God?] |
A26905 | And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have Riches enter into the Kingdom of God? |
A26905 | And when the flesh or carnal Reason saith,[ Will you cast away your comforts, your peace, your happiness, your lives? |
A26905 | And whether this which you allow, be all that he this way requireth or expecteth? |
A26905 | And whether you are in the way to Heaven or Hell? |
A26905 | And who is it that will have the loss of this but your selves? |
A26905 | And who would now prepare such misery for themselves, and glut themselves with that which they can no better digest or bear? |
A26905 | And why are mourners blessed? |
A26905 | And why have you professed since to stand to that Covenant? |
A26905 | And will no warning serve you? |
A26905 | And will you feed and surfeit again upon the creature? |
A26905 | And will you neglect an holy life, and shut your selves out of heaven, and damn your own souls, because you think professors are bad? |
A26905 | And will you overlook him, and forget the end and use of all? |
A26905 | And will you overlook the Divine Nature, and refuse to honour it, and this on pretence, that it is a wrong to Christ? |
A26905 | And will you pretend to honour Christ without you, and deny him his honour within you, even because he is within you? |
A26905 | And will you repose your selves in the thoughts of such? |
A26905 | And will you so far lay by your reason, as to go against the Experience of all the world? |
A26905 | And will you trouble your selves, and ruine your poor souls, for such a fleeting transitory thing? |
A26905 | And wish you had more regarded the durable Riches? |
A26905 | And yet will you stick to it? |
A26905 | And you know that it is Christ that requireth you to forsake all that you have for him; and dare you say that Christ commandeth you to be fools? |
A26905 | And, Whether they have not more peace in their minds without your sinful sensual delights, then you have with them? |
A26905 | Are his precepts of Mortification and Self- denyal imprinted in your hearts, and predominant in your lives? |
A26905 | Are not those taken for your chief friends, that further your advancement or worldly Ends? |
A26905 | Are not your thoughts contriving for it, and your wit and interest all improved for it? |
A26905 | Are the dead so solicitous? |
A26905 | Are these the signs of enmity to the world? |
A26905 | Are they for Heaven or Earth? |
A26905 | Are they godly men that admire you and speak well of you? |
A26905 | Are they learned men that extoll you? |
A26905 | Are you acquainted with their bestowings? |
A26905 | Are you famous for Learning? |
A26905 | Are you publick mercies to the place where you live? |
A26905 | Are you taken up with the hopes of a more plentifull estate? |
A26905 | Are you tempted to set by the riches and full provision or possessions of the world? |
A26905 | As the churlish Israelite asked Moses( the Prophet like Christ) so must we do the flesh and world; Who made thee a Ruler over us? |
A26905 | Ask your family whether you do not ofter call them up to work then to pray? |
A26905 | Ask your neighbours whether you talk not with them many hours of worldly vanities, for one hours serious discourse about the life to come? |
A26905 | But Grace doth not make men stocks or stupid, and therefore how can we chuse but feel? |
A26905 | But consider impartially in the fear of God, whether you make an equal distribution? |
A26905 | But how few are they that will allow God such a Proportion of their estates? |
A26905 | But if thou must have a God, what God wouldst thou have? |
A26905 | But if we could teach them all to be Princes, or Lords, or Gentlemen, yea or but to get a few shillings more then they have, none would draw back? |
A26905 | But if you do purpose to Repent, I would further ask you, Do you think that is a right mind, or a wise course which must be Repented of? |
A26905 | But if you say, It is the Life you judge by, I demand, what is it in the lives of such men that proves their covetousness? |
A26905 | But if you say, you have no such intent; I further ask, Why then do you do it? |
A26905 | But knock off his fetters, and how easily will he go? |
A26905 | But may not a man go to Law to recover his own, or to right his own Reputation, if he be slandered? |
A26905 | But may we not use the creatures for Delight, as well as for Necessity? |
A26905 | But must we not honour the gifts of God? |
A26905 | But perhaps you''l say, How should I do that? |
A26905 | But what are these to him that takes the approbation and applauses of the world, but as a blast of wind? |
A26905 | But what have you to stop your ears when the world is dead? |
A26905 | But what is it then that we may not Glory in? |
A26905 | But what man living is such as you here describe? |
A26905 | But what should we do to be so habitually apprehensive that the world is our enemy? |
A26905 | But what will this move him, that looketh on it as on the dirt in the streets? |
A26905 | But when the world is Crucified to you, what hath he to entice you with? |
A26905 | But would you draw men to despise Dignities and Authority? |
A26905 | But yet I would further be informed of you; To what end is it that you make this objection? |
A26905 | By this means you may prevent a sharper tryal If you are afraid of Conscience, how much more should you be afraid of God? |
A26905 | Can God or the world do more with you? |
A26905 | Can faith save him? |
A26905 | Can it be a wrong to Christ, to rejoyce in that without which we can do nothing but wrong him? |
A26905 | Can not you tell? |
A26905 | Can you conquer, while you are conquered? |
A26905 | Can you have while at the door of Eternity to hunc after the delights of the flesh, and study after the prosperity of this world? |
A26905 | Can you keep your affections as loose from the world, when you have houses and lands and all things at your will, as you could if it were otherwise? |
A26905 | Can you not truly say that the world is Crucified to you, and that you look on it but as a Carkass; as an empty, lifeless, and unsatisfactory thing? |
A26905 | Can you say that they shall be yours this time twelve- moneth? |
A26905 | Can you tell me but what it is that you would have, if you had your wish? |
A26905 | Can you tell me what it is that is your very Business in the world? |
A26905 | Can you think to find that by it that no man ever found before you? |
A26905 | Can you tice a wise man by pins and counters, as you may do a child? |
A26905 | Can you truly say, that God hath more of your Heart then all the world, and Heaven is dearer to your thoughts then earth? |
A26905 | Canst thou live a day without God? |
A26905 | Canst thou relieve or shift for thy self at death without him? |
A26905 | Canst thou save thy self from danger without him? |
A26905 | Come nearer and consider what it is that you admire? |
A26905 | Dare you quit your hopes of the life to come for such a portion? |
A26905 | Darest thou tell him so to his face? |
A26905 | Dic mi ● i, saith Bernard, ubi sunt amatores mundi, qui ante pau ● a t ● n p ● … nobiscum fuerunt? |
A26905 | Did he not therefore die for all, that they which Live, should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him that dyed for them, and rose again? |
A26905 | Did it ever save a soul? |
A26905 | Did it hang him up among Malefactors: and will it set you on a throne, or dandle you in its lap? |
A26905 | Did it pierce his side, and will it heal your wounds? |
A26905 | Did it reach him Gall and Vinegar, and will it reach you milk and honey? |
A26905 | Did you ever hear us preach for covetousness? |
A26905 | Did you not renounce the flesh, the world and the Devil in your Baptism? |
A26905 | Do I need to perswade the humble so far as they are humble, not to be proud of their own graces or works? |
A26905 | Do not the Books which they read do so too? |
A26905 | Do not the Sermons which they hear and repeat cry it down? |
A26905 | Do others bow to you, and have you power to crush them or exalt them at your pleasure? |
A26905 | Do these men glory only in the Cross of Christ, and is the world by it crucified to them, and they to the world? |
A26905 | Do they all cry out against it as Vanity, and yet will you take no warning? |
A26905 | Do they earnestly perswade their servants to study holy things? |
A26905 | Do they not lament and bewail it as long as they live after? |
A26905 | Do they not read these passages as well as others in their Bibles? |
A26905 | Do they not witness against it as much as any people in the world? |
A26905 | Do they shew a vehement hatred of sin, and go before their families in an heavenly conversation? |
A26905 | Do you disclaim your Christianity in the open light, and yet say that you intend no such thing? |
A26905 | Do you expect that it should bring you to heaven? |
A26905 | Do you hate your salvation, that you so love the hinderers of it? |
A26905 | Do you long to have more duty, and danger, and a double account? |
A26905 | Do you look after the favour of great ones? |
A26905 | Do you love to have your salvation hindered or hazarded? |
A26905 | Do you not feel that you are Crucified to the world, and your desires after it are languid and life- less? |
A26905 | Do you not feel your selves that the world is the clog of your souls? |
A26905 | Do you not hear them all cry out of the world, as a worthless thing? |
A26905 | Do you not ordinarily confess that the world is vain, and yet will you shew your selves such Dissemblers, as to love and seek it more then God? |
A26905 | Do you not rise earlyer for your worldly business, then for prayer or any holy exercise? |
A26905 | Do you not see how little good it can then do them? |
A26905 | Do you not still Profess that heaven is best, and God is to be preferred, and yet will you not do it, but let your own Professions condemn you? |
A26905 | Do you now think it folly to renounce and forsake them all for Christ? |
A26905 | Do you think if any of them miscarry, it is because they are too much Religious; or rather, because they are too little? |
A26905 | Do you think that God doth envy you your happiness, or that he would take the world from you, because he esteemeth it too good for you? |
A26905 | Do you think that God doth not as strictly require the one as the other? |
A26905 | Do you think that this is a reasonable course to be ventured on in so great a matter? |
A26905 | Do you think verily, that it will make you truly happy? |
A26905 | Do you think you shall then extoll the world, and count them fools that will be perswaded to forsake it? |
A26905 | Do you understand what is meant by this, that, To the pure all things are pure; and that all things are sanctified to us? |
A26905 | Doth it excuse you that the world hath so lovely an aspect? |
A26905 | Doth not the Bible which they read cry it down, and threaten damnation to it? |
A26905 | Doth not this proclaim that you are wilful sinners? |
A26905 | Doth not this world take up the most of your care, and strength, and time? |
A26905 | Doth that make them no mercies: Or rather make them the greater mercies? |
A26905 | Especially when it is the end which the other do tend to, and that without which we are uncapable of sincere magnifying either Creation or Redemption? |
A26905 | For how know you mens hearts, but by their professions, or by their lives? |
A26905 | For many shall say, Lord have we not preached in thy name? |
A26905 | For the Heart is open to none but God; and will you make your selves Gods; and that when you are playing the part of the Devil? |
A26905 | Furthermore I would know; Are you sure it is not Satan within you that prompteth you to these accusations? |
A26905 | Gentlemen, do you know indeed, what it is that you make so great a stir for? |
A26905 | HOW long can you say that you shall keep the Riches and Honours which you possess? |
A26905 | Had you not rather bear a smaller measure, and taste of a cup that hath less of the ga ● ●? |
A26905 | Hath God given you but a short uncertain life, and laid your everlasting life upon it; and will you cast all away upon these transitory delights? |
A26905 | Hath it not put you to more care and sorrow then it is worth? |
A26905 | Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, to be heirs of the Kingdom, which he hath promised to them that love him? |
A26905 | Hath not God done more for you then ever the world did? |
A26905 | Have not the best of us as much reason as Iob to make a Covenant with our eyes? |
A26905 | Have these men Crucified the world indeed? |
A26905 | Have you Ministers, and holy Ordinances, and Christian Communion, in the purest order? |

A26905 | How can a souldier be obliged to fight, and not to glory in the victory or good success? |
A26905 | How can we convert, or heal, or save you, without you? |
A26905 | How coldly and cursorily are family prayers and other duties slubbered over? |
A26905 | How comes it to pass that conscience then stirs not, when they know that they neglect such important duties? |
A26905 | How easily can I spare their Titles and Obeysances? |
A26905 | How formal are many in the Instructing of their families? |

A26905 | How then would our Princes and Nobles be both Loved and Honoured, when their Addictedness to God did make them so Divine? |
A26905 | How unlike are you to the Antient Christians, that forsook all and followed Christ, and lived in a Community of Charity? |
A26905 | How unlike are you to your Profession and your Covenant with God? |
A26905 | How will you answer this dishonour done to the workmanship of God? |
A26905 | I beseech you consider well, Why you forsake Christ, and why you will destroy your selves, before you do it past remedy? |
A26905 | I beseech you tell me, What think you that you shall then say? |
A26905 | I can not spend it and have it too] You know what you have now; but what shall you have hereafter to all eternity? |
A26905 | I have shewed you all things, how that so Labouring ye ought to support the weak? |
A26905 | I marvail these men will not see their own faces, when the Prophets and Christ himself do hold them so clear a glass? |

A26905 | I pray you tell me; do you think that a sufficient Portion which the Devil himself would give you if he could, or is willing you should have? |
A26905 | I wonder when God will speak so plain, for abounding in Good works, as that hypocrites and worldlings will be able to understand him? |
A26905 | If I be a Master, where is my fear?] |
A26905 | If a man come into your family, what shall he see but worldliness? |
A26905 | If a man should deprive you but of a few pounds, you can hardly put it up; but you must go to Law for it, or you must seek revenge? |
A26905 | If a poor man, though never so wise or pious, have any business with you, how cold is his entertainment? |
A26905 | If indeed the world be Crucified to you, what meaneth your eager pursuit after it? |
A26905 | If it be not wise and right, why will you now retain it, yea and wilfully maintain it, against the perswasions of God and man? |
A26905 | If it be right and wise, what need you to Repent of it? |

A26905 | If one fall into your company, what shall he hear from you, but about this world? |
A26905 | If one man had all the money in the Land, and could secure it, and the disposal of it from violence, what might not that man do? |

A26905 | If the Lord himself should ask both Plaintiff and Defendant, Do you follow this suit for Me, or for your selves? |
A26905 | If the Sun, and Moon, and Stars were yours, would you exchange them for a lump of clay? |
A26905 | If the breath of a thousand applaud you now, perhaps a million may reproach you when you are dead? |
A26905 | If the world be Crucified to you, How comes it to pass that you are so tenderly sensible of every loss or dishonour that doth befall you? |
A26905 | If the world be better then God in prosperity, what makes you call upon God in adversity? |
A26905 | If then there should be covetous ones among them, what''s this to Religion which teacheth them to abhor it? |
A26905 | If then you return to the world which you renounced, you forsake your Christianity: Had you rather forsake the world, or Christ? |
A26905 | If therefore you will still say, You hope you may keep both: What do you less then give God the lye? |
A26905 | If they deceive, or lie, or oppress, do not you do so: But will you therefore refuse your duty to God; and therefore destroy your own souls? |
A26905 | If they want any thing, what trouble are their minds i ● till their wants be supplyed? |
A26905 | If ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust the true Riches? |
A26905 | If you are dead to the world, how comes it to pass that it hath so powerful an influence upon your judgements? |
A26905 | If you are wronged in your estate, what a matter do you make of it? |
A26905 | If you do not, why did you in your Baptism renounce it, and promise to fight against it? |
A26905 | If you do, you know whom to blame when you are deprived of it? |
A26905 | If you have admonished them and they repent not, why do you not tell the Pastors of the Church that they may admonish them and seek their reformation? |
A26905 | If you know some few to be such, what is that to the rest? |
A26905 | If you love those that love you, what Reward have you? |
A26905 | If you meet a man upon the way, and ask him, whether he is going? |
A26905 | If you say, What is all this to us? |
A26905 | If you see any man at work, and ask him what he is doing, and why he doth it? |
A26905 | If you think not your present condition better for you then heaven, why do you choose and prefer it? |
A26905 | If you would know whether you are Christians indeed and shall be saved, the first and great question is, What is your End? |
A26905 | In such a friend as God Almighty, that can rebuke your diseases by a word? |
A26905 | In what respects is it that the world must be Crucified to us? |
A26905 | Is Christ ever the less Christ, because he dwels in the hearts of Believers? |
A26905 | Is God or the world, Heaven or earth, thus highlyest esteemed by you? |
A26905 | Is a beast any more unlike a man, then your hearts and lives are unlike Christs Laws? |
A26905 | Is all his? |
A26905 | Is idle worldly discourse a better sign of a Saint, then keeping holy the Lords day, and labouring for salvation? |
A26905 | Is ignorance of the Scripture, or neglecting it a greater sign of a Saint, then meditating in it day and night? |
A26905 | Is it all or some of them that you thus accuse? |
A26905 | Is it fitter for God or you, to determine how many talents you shall be entrusted with? |
A26905 | Is it for God? |
A26905 | Is it for heaven or earth? |
A26905 | Is it for this world or the world to come? |
A26905 | Is it just or pious that Christ should lose the honour of his mercies, meerly because he hath bestowed them on us? |
A26905 | Is it not Greatness more then Innocency that saves abundance of you from shame and punishment? |
A26905 | Is it not Necessary then that you discern your errour, and be brought into your right way, and spend not your time and pains for nothing? |
A26905 | Is it not in your mind in the night when you awake, and in the day when you are alone? |
A26905 | Is it not pitty and shame, that you should thus turn Mercies themselves into sin, and draw your bane from that which might have been a blessing? |
A26905 | Is it not the great Deceiver of the Nations? |
A26905 | Is it not then evident, that other mens sins should move you to be the more Religious and careful of your selves, and not the less? |
A26905 | Is it not with a desire to have a life of holy diligence despised in the world, or thought evil of, or judged needless? |
A26905 | Is it popular applause that you so much regard; and doth it tickle you to hear of your own commendations? |
A26905 | Is it so, or is it not Sirs? |
A26905 | Is it the Hearts or the Outward actions of these professors that you perceive this covetousness by? |
A26905 | Is it the course of their lives that you judge by? |
A26905 | Is it your children that you set your hearts upon, in inordinate Love or Care? |
A26905 | Is not that mans belly his God, that will bestow a more costly sacrifice on his belly then he will do on God? |
A26905 | Is not that the most sinful and dangerous state, where God hath least of the heart, and the creature hath most? |
A26905 | Is not that the wisest way which he requireth? |
A26905 | Is not this the way to dry up the streams of Mercy, when the more you have, the worse you are? |
A26905 | Is our heavenly birth- right a thing so base, or the promise of our immortal Crown so uncertain, as to be parted with on Esau''s terms? |
A26905 | Is this loving their neighbours as themselves, and doing as they would be done by? |
A26905 | It is not for nothing that Christ himself hath given you so many and so terrible warnings to take heed of this sin? |
A26905 | It s God that commandeth it, and God you owe it to: And will you abuse God and rob him, because you have hard conceits of men? |
A26905 | Lastly, I would advise you to consider, Whether God that justifieth his servants, will suffer you to condemn them? |
A26905 | Look back in any credible Records, to the beginning of the world, and down to this day, and tell me where is the man that is made happy by the world? |
A26905 | Look on the corpses of your deceased friends, and think now, Whether the soul be ever the better for all the riches and pleasures of the world? |
A26905 | Look up to that Cross of Christ, and see the enmity of the world unto your Head: And will you take it for your friend? |
A26905 | MY next Question is this, Do you ever mean to Repent of your fleshly and worldly- mindedness, or not? |
A26905 | MY next Question to you is this: How do you think you shall value the world, when it is parting from you? |
A26905 | MY next ▪ Question is, What hath the world done for any other, that should perswade you to set so much by it as you do? |
A26905 | MY second Question to you is this: You that are so loath to part with the world and be Crucified to it, tell me, What hath it done for you? |
A26905 | Me thinks you should be willing; when you see the Question is as great, as Whether you are Christians indeed or not? |
A26905 | Moreover I would know of you, when you accuse men for not being more bountiful in your eyes, Do you know of all their works of charity? |
A26905 | Must God advance you highest, and will you thrust him lowest in your heart? |
A26905 | Must he feed you with the best, and cloath you with the best, and will you put him off with the worst? |
A26905 | Must we indeed give over caring? |
A26905 | Nay you do wrong, and defraud, and that your Brethren: Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?] |
A26905 | Nay, if he be not God, how should he save them, or how should he make them happy, if he be not their chiefest Good? |
A26905 | No, they have then no list to them, then they have other things to think of: And why not now as well as then? |
A26905 | None of them would ask us, By what Authority do you send for us? |
A26905 | Nothing before all things? |
A26905 | Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to Law one with another: Why do ye not rather take wrong? |
A26905 | O Remember, how little matter it is ▪ Whether you go poor or rich to the grave? |
A26905 | O Sirs, if the world be Crucified to you, how can it have such power over you, as to cause you to neglect your greatest Lord, and your immortal souls? |
A26905 | O how easie is it to hear your sin and danger from such a worm as I? |
A26905 | O how hard is it to have the world at will, and not to be ensnared by it and over- love it? |
A26905 | O how much better a portion might you have had, if you had not refused or neglected it when you had your choice? |
A26905 | O what a carkaise, what a shadow is it in their eyes? |
A26905 | O what work would the preaching of the Gospel make in the world, if there were not a worldly principle within, to strive against it? |
A26905 | O who would love that, and love it at so dear a rate, which can not help you in the time of your necessity? |
A26905 | O with what grief and tearing of heart do earthly minded persons part with the world? |
A26905 | Obj But is it possible that godly men can be guilty of such sins as these? |
A26905 | Oh how much more cause have you to glory in such a friend as Christ, that will save you from sin, and wrath, and Hell? |
A26905 | Oh then what a carkaise will all the glory of the world appear? |
A26905 | Oh with what ease and freedom of mind may you converse with God in holy Ordinances, when you are once dis ● entangled from this snare? |
A26905 | Or Peter did deny his Master in his fear? |
A26905 | Or eating and drinking, because men do consume by some disease? |
A26905 | Or is there any comparison to be made between them? |
A26905 | Or make them tend to the cure of your souls? |
A26905 | Or whither will you go? |
A26905 | Or will you judge of the course of their lives by one action, which they bewail and lament as long as they live? |
A26905 | Or will you reward that souldier that will withdraw from the Army into a corner, when he should be fighting? |
A26905 | Or will you say, that such as you are the Saints, that reproach holiness, and refuse to lead an holy life? |
A26905 | Perhaps the favour of some great men might bestow it on them at first without desert? |
A26905 | Quo mihi innumerabiles libros& bibliothecas, quorum Dominus vix tota vita sua indices perlegit? |
A26905 | Read over his Life, and Read your own, and judge whether any man on earth, be more unlike to Christ, then a voluptuous, worldly Gentleman? |
A26905 | Saith Augustine, Ecce mundus turbat,& amatur ▪ quid si, tranquill us esset? |
A26905 | See how it used him: and will you expect that it should deal contrarily with you? |
A26905 | Shall Christ purchase a Kingdom at the price of his blood, and offer it us freely, and shall we prefer the life of a bruit before it? |
A26905 | Shall his grace be villified, because he makes thy soul the subject of it? |
A26905 | Shall the world this day be Crucified to you, and you to it? |
A26905 | Shall your bodies have it, and your souls have none, or but a little? |
A26905 | Should you think you merit by denying merit? |
A26905 | So that most of us have need of the counsel which the Bishop of Colen gave the Emperour Sigismund that askt him, What he should do to be happy? |
A26905 | So that you want nothing, but have the world at will? |
A26905 | Some great matter sure you think it will do for you? |
A26905 | Stretch conscience for it till it tear or can stretch no further? |
A26905 | Suppose you had the most that you can expect in the world; would you be contented with this as your portion? |
A26905 | Sure you would never so much love it, and make such a stir for it, if you looked for nothing from it? |
A26905 | The Philosopher asks the Question, Why women are more addicted to look after neat attire then men? |
A26905 | The flesh will have its prey, and pleased it must be: Their conscience tells them, It will cost thee dear? |
A26905 | Then how beautiful would ▪ the feet be of them that bring you the tidings of such good things? |
A26905 | Then if you look on house, or goods, or lands, how little pleasure find you in any of them? |
A26905 | Then you would not swell against their Doctrine or Application? |
A26905 | They dream that they are rich, and honourable, and happy, and how proudly do they carry it out in this dream? |
A26905 | They see not the state of your soul? |
A26905 | They think when they hear them, These are hard sayings, who can bear them? |
A26905 | This command they make conscience of: and how then can you be meet judges of their alms? |
A26905 | This was plain dealing of an Holy Father: and is it not such as is as needful now as then? |
A26905 | To a man that is in love with money, O what a strong temptation is it, to see an opportunity of getting it by sin? |
A26905 | To a proud man that is tender of his reputation in the world, what a troublesom temptation is it to be reproached, or slighted, or slandered? |
A26905 | To what end? |
A26905 | To whom God saith,[ Thou ● ool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?] |
A26905 | Vanity and Vexation before Felicity? |
A26905 | WHat is it that dying men do commonly think and say of the world? |
A26905 | Was it not the very end of Christs death to save his people from their sins? |
A26905 | We desire you not to joyn with them in evil? |
A26905 | Well then, Beloved Hearers, seeing you that sit here present are all of one of these two sorts, let conscience speak, which is it that you are of? |
A26905 | What I Shall we prefer a mole- hill before a Kingdom? |
A26905 | What a dung- hill do they wallow in, as if it were a bed of Roses? |
A26905 | What a noble employment have you, in comparison of the highest servants of the world? |
A26905 | What a poor low thing is it which the sons of men do tire themselves in seeking after? |
A26905 | What a stir do men make for temptation and destruction? |
A26905 | What a toylsom thing is it for a man to travail in fetters, or to run a race with a burden on his back? |
A26905 | What abundance of precious time and labour do you lose, which might and should be better spent? |
A26905 | What abundance of precious time do other men lose, in dreaming pursuits of an empty, deceiving, transitory world? |
A26905 | What answer think you they must make, if they speak the truth? |

A26905 | and cut off the bough on which thou standest? |
A26905 | and do it after so much warning? |
A26905 | and do they examine them about their everlasting state, and call them to account of what they learn from the publick Ministry? |
A26905 | and do you know how able they are to give? |
A26905 | and do you think I am such a fool as to be worded out of them? |
A26905 | and freed from such perilous snares? |
A26905 | and have you great parts in knowledge and utterance? |
A26905 | and how faithfully would you practise? |
A26905 | and how many friends should we have? |
A26905 | and how much more excellent work might you be employed in, if the world were but dead to you, and the stream of your souls were turned upon God? |
A26905 | and how slightly do you shake him off? |
A26905 | and how well worthy of your Tythes and more? |
A26905 | and if you grow rich or gain, how glad are you? |
A26905 | and is it not so commonly resolved? |
A26905 | and so would have the creature to be God? |
A26905 | and stand to it? |
A26905 | and take off his burden, and how lightly will he run? |
A26905 | and tell men that they deny or overlook it, because they admire him within them, as well as without them? |
A26905 | and that in a sort destroy the world to your selves, by separating it from its soul? |
A26905 | and that this is it that hindereth you from duty, and hindereth you in duty, and keepeth you from the attainment of an heavenly conversation? |
A26905 | and that you change your minds as your carnall Interest doth change? |
A26905 | and that you know you sin, and yet will do it; even against your own knowledge and conscience? |
A26905 | and think you are got into a thriving way? |
A26905 | and those for your chief enemies that hinder it most? |
A26905 | and to take comfort in that, without which we are uncapable of true comfort? |
A26905 | and to your Confessions, and Prayers to him? |
A26905 | and what a dangerous temptation is it to him, to be applauded? |
A26905 | and what a shaking would Satans Kingdom feel? |
A26905 | and what is it for? |
A26905 | and what is the Design that you are daily carrying on? |
A26905 | and what it is that is predominant in your heart? |
A26905 | and what life and sweetness there is in creatures, which the heavenly believer draweth forth, and you have no taste of? |
A26905 | and wherher we have not reason to say, Crucifie it, Crucifie it? |
A26905 | and whether you be not more deeply offended with them for crossing your commodity, then for sinning against God? |
A26905 | and whether you drive them not on harder to your own service then to Gods? |
A26905 | and whether you examine them not strictlyer about your business, then about the matters that their salvation doth depend upon? |
A26905 | and who is it that would not be on his side, except those few that have Crucified the world? |
A26905 | and why do you more carefully and laboriously seek the things of earth, then the Heavenly Glory? |
A26905 | and will you love and long for that which is an enemy to it? |
A26905 | and yet say that you are Crucified to the world? |
A26905 | and yet will you doat upon it, and neglect and lose the life everlasting for it? |
A26905 | and yet wilt thou cast him off? |
A26905 | are you descended of worshipfull or honourable Ancestors? |
A26905 | as besides their daily works of charity upon ordinary occasions, to devote also a seventh part entirely to his service? |
A26905 | as if you wanted your treasure or your God? |
A26905 | but how dreadful will it be to hear all this from the Lord of Glory? |
A26905 | do not even the Publicans so? |
A26905 | do not even the Publicans the same? |
A26905 | even the great Business that you live for, and that you study and care and labour for? |

A26905 | how strange is your deportment towards him? |
A26905 | how well should I be? |
A26905 | know you not your own minds, and thoughts, and desires? |
A26905 | or at the furthest, when you are newly parted from it? |
A26905 | or heal a soul? |
A26905 | or how should we repulse them? |
A26905 | or is a Carkaise to be so much valued? |
A26905 | or is it some one particular action? |
A26905 | or make a man truly happy at the last? |
A26905 | or set up against him, and prefer before him? |
A26905 | or should you think you have somewhat to Glory in with God, because you have denyed your selves and your own worthiness? |
A26905 | or to hear your state discovered, and your selves condemned by a Minister of Christ in a Pulpit? |
A26905 | or to morrow? |
A26905 | or your carnal selves? |
A26905 | that would pull the Sun out of the firmament, or set all the world on fire, if it were in his power? |
A26905 | that you might resolve what side to take your selves; and perhaps what Religion to be of, or to seem so to be? |
A26905 | that you should be so fond of it, and that it should seem worthy of such estimation and affection? |
A26905 | the bait of the Devil, by which he angles for souls? |
A26905 | the easiest lives? |
A26905 | the easiest lodgings? |
A26905 | the pleasantest recreations or companions? |
A26905 | those that you call so, or that God calleth so? |
A26905 | when they have a shorter time to use it? |
A26905 | which is it that can nullifie the perswasions of the other? |
A26905 | which you enjoy so delightfully? |
A26905 | which you hold so fast? |
A26905 | which you value at so high a rate? |
A26905 | will you forbear Good, because others do Evil? |
A26905 | your very Hearts? |

A54843 | A Sea we all are to sail in, if bound for Heaven; And yet for want of good steerage, How many Adventurers unaware have been imbark''d in it for Hell? |
A54843 | A Son honoureth his Father, and a Servant his Master( said God heretofore by the Prophet Malachi;) If I then be a Father, where is mine honour? |
A54843 | And are we not told by Christ Himself,( to prove he is a Good Master,) that his yoke is easy, and his burden light? |
A54843 | And been restored again to life, to declare the Negative by Experience? |
A54843 | And do they so far suspect him, that they resolve to make an Essay of his Veracity, and therefore trust not his Doctrin, till they have try''d it? |
A54843 | And even of Professors how many are there, who in their words do own Christ, whilst in their works they quite deny him? |
A54843 | And have a priviledge to be wicked above the rest of mankind, because we are Worshippers of a God who is a God ready to pardon? |
A54843 | And how can any man( knowingly) suffer himself to be induced to wrong his Neighbour, whom he does love without hypocrisie, and As Himself? |
A54843 | And how far are they from that, who are( 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, that is) Inventors of evil things? |
A54843 | And if they are so thankful for being the work of his Hands, shall not we be much more, for being the price of his Blood? |
A54843 | And if they rebel against their Maker, what have I to do with them?] |
A54843 | And in order thereunto, how very temperate was he in all things? |
A54843 | And let the Subject of our Inquiry be only This; What shall we do that we may be sav''d? |
A54843 | And put off God with our December, when we have nothing to entertain him, but Frost, and Snow? |
A54843 | And rather to smart for some Time, than to all Eternity? |
A54843 | And seekest Thou Great Things for thy self? |
A54843 | And seekest Thou Great Things for thy self? |
A54843 | And shall we who are Christians give no more Reverence unto Christ, than the old Pythagoreans were wo nt to give unto Pythagoras? |
A54843 | And so of Them in That Notion our Neophyte Iailour did fitly ask, What must I do, that I may be saved? |
A54843 | And such a kind of obedience, as Christ will graciously accept? |
A54843 | And that as he hath shrunk up the Mosaical Law, so he should also extend the Moral? |
A54843 | And that our Master may say to us in his Kingdom of Glory,[ Well done good Servants,] Say we to him in this of Grace,[ Good Master what shall we do?] |
A54843 | And the words of Moses to Israel have a remarkable Importance; What doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but only to fear the Lord thy God? |
A54843 | And this being so, what manner of men ought we to be in the course of our Lives and conversations? |
A54843 | And thô their Differences are innocent when about things Indifferent, yet what reciprocal Disaffections are wo nt to arise from That Variety? |
A54843 | And what is That, but the Law of Nature? |
A54843 | And what is all This, but the Hypotyposis of a Pris''ner? |
A54843 | And what must we do to obtain a Heaven?] |
A54843 | And what said St. Paul to his Corinthians? |
A54843 | And what shall we do to be walking in it? |
A54843 | And which is likeliest to be his Deity? |
A54843 | And who would care for those Riches which only make him the Devil''s Sumpter? |
A54843 | And why should any man be seeking Those things for Himself, which do but aggrandize his Duty, and lessen his Faculty to discharge it? |
A54843 | And why were they suffer''d by God to do it? |
A54843 | And wilt thou know the true Reason why thou dost not know That? |
A54843 | And yet for all that, he did not ask as a young man, How shall I purchase the sweetest Pleasures? |
A54843 | And yet vvith vvhat a deal of fear and trembling, did he run the Race that was set before him? |
A54843 | Are God''s Drudges so inclinable to his Commands? |
A54843 | Are These things necessary for others ▪ but not for the Iailour of Philippi? |
A54843 | Are we affrighted at the Law? |
A54843 | Are we not fit to see God,''till we have pluck''t out our Eyes? |
A54843 | As c what we must do that we may be sav''d? |
A54843 | Besides, need we care to be Better, or better advised than St. Paul, That great Apostle of the Gentiles, and pretious Vessel of Election? |
A54843 | But as if he had forgotten the generosity of his Quaestion,[ 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; what shall I do?] |
A54843 | But of an infinitely greater, in none at all? |
A54843 | But our Inquiry must be rather like that of the Multitude to our Saviour, What shall we do that we may work the work of God? |
A54843 | But they have not obey''d the Gospel: For Esaias saith, who hath Believed our Report? |
A54843 | But to what end? |
A54843 | But what is more uneasy, than to cut off an hand? |
A54843 | But what more grievous, than to pluck out an Eye? |
A54843 | But what shall we do to keep a good Conscience, and to hold fast our Integrity? |
A54843 | But when The Son of Man cometh, shall he find Faith upon the Earth? |
A54843 | But 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; what must I Do, that I may be sav''d? |
A54843 | Can they expect to be rewarded for their Acceptance? |
A54843 | Can they say that they have dyed, to make a Decision of the Question? |
A54843 | Can we confer it upon our selves, that it should hear be said to us, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Let us have grace? |
A54843 | Can we imagin that the Law was so a Schoolmaster to Christ, as that the end of his coming should be to turn us from our Books? |
A54843 | Can we think it a noble thing, to be laden with thick Clay at the Devil''s Pleasure, and again unladen at his Command? |
A54843 | Could he come for nothing else but to proclaim a Iubilee for Malefactors, and so to make them more voluptuous, not more vertuous than before? |
A54843 | Did he buy it? |
A54843 | Did the King happen to want an Eye? |
A54843 | Do but feed upon them enough, and digest them into thy Soul by obedience to them, and Then how soon wilt thou resemble the men in Homer? |
A54843 | Do we live in fear of Them that can hurt the Body? |
A54843 | Do we not find him confessing, and that in the time of his Apostleship, That ‖ He was carnal, and sold under sin? |
A54843 | Do we not flatter our selves often, that we are good enough to serve turn? |
A54843 | Do we not generally conceive,( like Him in Zosimus) that we may sin the more safely for being Christians? |
A54843 | Do we not naturally esteem it an happy Thing, to have as much of this World as we know what to do with? |
A54843 | Do we seriously believe an Immortality of our Souls, a Life after Death, and a Day of Iudgment? |
A54843 | Does not St. Iohn tell us of Christ,( to prove he is a good Master,) that his Commandments are not grievous? |
A54843 | Does the Master give Thanks to that diligent Servant, for doing the things that were commanded him? |
A54843 | Dost thou find within thy self nothing of Appetite or Love to the Yoke of Christ? |
A54843 | Dost thou talk of pulling down, and of building up, and of making provision for time to come? |
A54843 | For as Scholars of Christ, we ought to imitate his Example; which how can we do, unless as Servants of Christ, we obey his Will? |
A54843 | For can the very same man who is sollicitously careful to get a Trifle, be as perfectly careless to gain a Talent? |
A54843 | For can we imagin, that God himself can be any whit the happier for being in Heaven? |
A54843 | For dare we stand against Him who is Omnipotent? |
A54843 | For hath not Christ commanded all men to love their Enemies? |
A54843 | For he did not thus ask, What must I say? |
A54843 | For how can any man find the Pleasure of keeping close to Christ''s Precepts, before he keeps them? |
A54843 | For how can any man indure to be rebelling against his God, whom he does love with all his Soul, and above Himself? |
A54843 | For how knew the Jailour he was to do any thing but to Believe? |
A54843 | For how much worse than a Brutality must we needs have exchanged our human Nature, when nothing can please us but what''s forbidden? |
A54843 | For how often have the Spaniards diverted the Turks upon the Emperour? |
A54843 | For in that our Lord asks, When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find Faith upon the Earth? |
A54843 | For in the third of the Acts, at the twentieth Verse, God having raised up his Son Iesus sent him to bless us,( saith St. Peter;) but how? |
A54843 | For is it possible that a man should very seriously believe he shall last for ever, and not be vehemently solicitous, whether in Heaven, or in Hell? |
A54843 | For it is not thus ask''t, what must I outwardly Profess? |
A54843 | For they do tacitly acknowledge, by that their Question put to Christ,[ Art thou come to torment us before the Time?] |

A26919 | But doth not God Will that sin Eventually shall not be? |
A26919 | But how can God be fit for mortals to converse with, when they see him not, and are infinitely below him? |
A26919 | But how can sin Eventually be, if God decree it not, seeing all Events are from his Will? |

A26919 | But what Master loveth to see his servant sit down and Think when he should be at work? |
A26919 | But what is the Impress that the Being of God must make upon the Soul? |
A26919 | But what need we further proof when we have the common experience of all the world? |
A26919 | But where is thy sting when sin is gone? |
A26919 | But will the hypocrite delight himself in the Almighty, or will he alwaies call upon God? |
A26919 | But you will say, Is there any that hold such odious doctrines? |
A26919 | But, you''l say, If God had rather men did not sin, why doth he not hinder it? |
A26919 | CHristians, expect to be conformed to your Lord in this part of his Humiliation also: Are your friends yet fast and friendly to you? |
A26919 | Can I draw near to judgement? |

A26919 | Can we be ignorant of him, when the whole Creation is our Teacher? |
A26919 | Can we forget him, when all the world are our remembrancers? |
A26919 | Can we pass him by that is everywhere present, and by every Creature represented to us? |
A26919 | Can we stop our ears against the voice of Heaven and Earth? |
A26919 | Can you so much miss them for one day, that must live with them to all eternity? |
A26919 | Can you take pleasure in dwelling with the consuming fire? |
A26919 | Can you think your Children and Friends that are with Christ, are not safer and better than those that yet remain with you? |
A26919 | Canst thou not afford to work out the day light of this life, when thou must Rest with Christ to all Eternity? |

A26919 | Canst thou not watch one hour with Christ, that must Reign with him to all Eternity? |
A26919 | Could I not Love, or Think, or Feel at all, methinks I were less dead than now? |
A26919 | Could you then aggravate it so many waies( and justly) and now do you justifie or extenuate it? |

A26919 | Wouldst thou doubt of Gods particular providence, whether he regard thy heart, and talke and practice, if thou didst see him with thee? |
A26919 | Wouldst 〈 … 〉 their time? |
A26919 | Yea other things affect us when we see them not; and shall not God? |
A26919 | Yea, you have not been innocent towards men your selves: Did you never wrong or fail another? |
A26919 | Yee are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? |
A26919 | Yet are you keeping up your worldly hopes, that the world will again prove better to you, and that you shall have happy daies hereafter? |
A26919 | Yet is not the world unjust enough, or cruel or vexatious enough to you, to teach you to come home, and take up your content and rest in God? |
A26919 | Yet is not your condition empty enough of carnal delusory pleasures, to we ● n you from the world, and make you look to surer things? |
A26919 | You are alwaies in his presence; and can you then forget him, and hold no voluntary converse with him, when you stand before him? |
A26919 | You are every man of you stepping into Eternity? |
A26919 | [ Behold we have forsaken all and followed thee; What shall we have?] |
A26919 | [ Can God furnish a Table in the wildernest? |
A26919 | [ Look down from Heaven ▪ and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: Where is thy zeal and thy strength? |
A26919 | [ Mine enemies speak evil of me: when shall he dye, and his name perish? |
A26919 | [ O how great is the goodness that he hath laid up for them that fear him? |
A26919 | and Children but with their Father? |
A26919 | and a Wife but with her Husband? |
A26919 | and are you grieved that your friends are taken from your griefs? |
A26919 | and are your friends more firm and unchangeable then theirs? |
A26919 | and art thou ready to draw back and venture upon sin? |
A26919 | and as if you had never been so convinced, or resolved? |
A26919 | and as if you had never felt such things? |
A26919 | and bear that easily that once was the breaking of your heart? |
A26919 | and come and own thy gasping worm? |
A26919 | and do you begin to look that way again? |
A26919 | and hath he lost the earth? |
A26919 | and his Love and Goodness overcome it? |
A26919 | and his Majesty rebuke it? |
A26919 | and in whom, and with whom do you place and expect your happiness? |
A26919 | and is it not now grown less? |
A26919 | and is it not so still? |
A26919 | and not be concerned in their felicity with whom we are so nearly one? |
A26919 | and now do you make so small a matter of it? |
A26919 | and of as great wisdome, as any that ever you performed? |
A26919 | and of everlasting pains in Hell, and yet not feel that my greatest business is with God? |
A26919 | and shall he not hear that made both tongue and ears? |
A26919 | and shall he not know that giveth us understanding, and by whom we know? |
A26919 | and should not that be now the most noble and pleasant employment for your minds, which is nearest to that which you hope to be exercised in for ever? |
A26919 | and that ever thy Body that must first be dust, should shine as the stars in the firmament of God? |
A26919 | and that ever thy soul should live with Christ among the holy Saints and Angels? |
A26919 | and that he Governeth man as a rational creature, by Laws and Judgement? |
A26919 | and the priviledges of his family to seem so vile? |
A26919 | and think better of his counsels, than of the blind concupiscence of the flesh? |
A26919 | and till we can reach that sweet delightful converse, whom should we seek with more ambition, or observe with greater devotedness and respect? |
A26919 | and to be most frequent and familiar with them that are most frequent and familiar with Christ? |
A26919 | and to do that which thou knewest he forbad and condemned in his Word? |
A26919 | and to give so dear as the hazard of their souls by wilful sin, to escape the honour, and safety, and commodity of Martyrdome? |
A26919 | and to walk before him, and serve him in the world? |
A26919 | and were not only weary of the Duty, but of the Priviledges and Benefits of your Relation? |
A26919 | and were so hardly perswaded that it would be forgiven you? |
A26919 | and what for the Church? |
A26919 | and what for thee? |
A26919 | and what profit shall we have if we pray unto him? |
A26919 | and where is thy strength when Christ hath conquered thee? |
A26919 | and whether the Rider or the Horse should have the rule? |
A26919 | and whose commands have the most effectual authority with you? |
A26919 | and whose displeasure do you principally avoid? |
A26919 | and will not all obey the rebukes of the Almighty? |
A26919 | and with so little pleasure, seriousness, or regard? |
A26919 | and with whom hath he advised for the making, redeeming or governing of the world? |
A26919 | and worst of all, a place of sin? |
A26919 | and yet will you be so foolish and unthankful, as to run out of your Fathers presence, and choose to be without, among the Dogs? |
A26919 | and yet wilt thou distrust him? |
A26919 | are they restrained? |
A26919 | but if I continue thus to wait, wilt thou never find the time of Love? |
A26919 | can he be regardless of thy words and wayes that is with thee and seeth and heareth all? |
A26919 | can the silly shallow creature comprehend his infinite Creatour? |
A26919 | can you expect to find the comforts of his family, among his enemies, out of doors? |
A26919 | canst thou save by the match, if thou win the world and lose thy soul? |
A26919 | do you never use to rub your eyes, and look before you towards Eternity? |
A26919 | especially if it had been long of him? |
A26919 | even of your Father, of your Happiness it self? |
A26919 | even to leave you no comfortable entertainment or converse but with himself, and with his servants, and with those means that lead you to himself? |
A26919 | expect the time when they can not help you: Are they your comforters and delight, and is their company much of your solace upon earth? |
A26919 | for a prophane person to jest at the Spirits work, or for a Christian or Minister deliberately to extennate it? |
A26919 | from whom is it that you expect your greaetest reward? |
A26919 | he that Loveth all Christians, or he that Loveth but a few, with the special Love? |
A26919 | he that Loveth much, or he that Loveth little? |
A26919 | how long is the Reward? |
A26919 | in many and wonderful preservations and deliverances? |
A26919 | in the conduct of his wisdome, and in a life of mercies? |
A26919 | in their lies and slanders of the just? |
A26919 | in their sottish jears and scorns of those that Walk with God? |
A26919 | is it in the wilderness that thou walkest, or in the croud: in the Closet, or in the Church? |
A26919 | nor banish him into such a place where he can not have his conversation in Heaven? |
A26919 | nor hear that which all the world proclaimeth? |
A26919 | of successive cares and fears and griefs? |
A26919 | or conversing with the most dreadful enemy? |
A26919 | or did you only Love them, while you made but little use of them for your souls? |
A26919 | or eyes if there were no light to see by? |
A26919 | or how can he Redeem them that need not a Redemption? |
A26919 | or how shall he be my Heaven and everlasting Happiness? |
A26919 | or how should he reconcile them to God that never were at enmity with him? |
A26919 | or is God grown worse, that we turn our hearts from him to them? |
A26919 | or on any thing more excellent, more honourable, more durable, or that could claim precedency upon any just account? |
A26919 | or promise more concerning him? |
A26919 | or than Christ that had a Judas? |
A26919 | or than Paul that had a Demas? |
A26919 | or that is fully adequate to them, and fit to be our happiness? |
A26919 | or to make us loth by death to leave it? |
A26919 | or what likeness will ye compare unto him? |
A26919 | or who knoweth the certain means of salvation like him that is 〈 … 〉 ver of salvation? |
A26919 | or who shall condemn us when it is he that justifieth us? |

A26919 | the guilt of some disobedience or contempt that hath first caused this? |
A26919 | the sounding of thy bowels, and of thy mercies towards me? |

A92141 | And can the holy spirit of the Lord, the husband act in a whorish spouse, who grieves that spirit? |
A92141 | And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another mans, who shall give you that which is your own? |

A92141 | As also the Objector in this saith, God might have more honour and service of me, if so it had pleased him; and what is this? |
A92141 | As yet exaltest thou thy self against my people, that thou wilt not let them goe? |
A92141 | Awake, why sleepest thou? |
A92141 | Because you are dead and indisposed, are you therefore lawlesse, and freed of all debt of duties which are imposed by either the Law of God? |

A92141 | But why doth the Lord drive Cart- wheels over the bones of his people? |
A92141 | Can a King dwell even in a palace when it is burning and smoaking about his ears? |
A92141 | Can a friend lodge in a house, where he is every hour sadned? |
A92141 | Can any good come out of Nazareth? |
A92141 | Can any knock, and neither find the right door, nor 2. know the King and the Lord of the house within? |
A92141 | Can one call on God, or cry to him Abba Father, who never laid hold on him as a Father? |
A92141 | Can sin be a hire to purchase or buy the breathings of the Holy Ghost? |
A92141 | Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots? |
A92141 | Can the flesh wait for the Lord? |
A92141 | Canst thou bind the Vnicorn with his band in the furrows? |
A92141 | Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades? |
A92141 | Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? |
A92141 | Christ exhorts them to watch and pray: and can the Spirit breath upon a lying and sleeping sluggard? |
A92141 | Did ever man get sweet accesse to God through the Mediator Christ in prayer, who delayes praying because he wants a praying disposition? |
A92141 | Did not Christ himself convince the world of sinful unbelief? |
A92141 | Did not our hearts burn? |
A92141 | Did not our hearts burn? |
A92141 | Did not( say the Disciples) our hearts burn within us while he talked with us by the way, and while the opened to us the Scriptures? |
A92141 | Do not all the wretched and prophane, practically contradict God? |
A92141 | Do not some sail much and promove nothing to the harbour? |
A92141 | Doe ye misse influences of grace, and the leading of the Spirit in a spiritual way of eating, sleeping, waking, buying, journeying? |
A92141 | Doe ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? |
A92141 | Does the holy Spirit dwell and breath in and through a prophane and unclean man, such as are swine and dogs? |
A92141 | Doth the Lord give an account of the substance, or of the circumstances of his actions? |
A92141 | Else could a slain man buried in the cave sing and give praise? |
A92141 | Every mans moral actings are as John''s baptisme, from Heaven or of Men; what sparkles of influences kindle the heart in your actings? |
A92141 | Find ye not the actings of the spirit sweet and heaven- like? |
A92141 | For whom? |
A92141 | Hath Christ washed all Infants in his blood? |
A92141 | Hath God forgotton to be gracious? |
A92141 | Hath the rain a father, or who hath begotten the drops of dew? |
A92141 | He put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him; that was fire in the bowels; and what did Christ here but speak words? |
A92141 | He said not to the foundling, Wilt thou live? |
A92141 | He sayes not, why fear ye? |
A92141 | He that is not able to bear a burden of the weight of one pound, would he bear a burden of a thousand talents? |
A92141 | Hence the spirits spiritual counter- workings contrary to the flesh, and the gracious pleadings in favours of Christ, What do you? |
A92141 | His complaining so grows, that he ends in an out- cry, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
A92141 | Holy dispositions beget holy dispositions? |
A92141 | How can it stand with justice to command us, to make our selves a new heart and a new Spirit, since we are unable to make to our selves a new heart? |
A92141 | How can sleeping men receive influences of grace? |
A92141 | How can the Brasilians be guilty of remedylesse rejecting of a Christ they never heard of? |
A92141 | How can the poor man pray to a lyon, or a terrifying spirit? |
A92141 | How can this promise be so wide and general, as none are excepted? |
A92141 | How clean walkers in new obedience must men be? |
A92141 | How got David this heavenly disposition? |
A92141 | How have I hated instruction? |
A92141 | How is it then that the soul is under sweet dispositions and plenty of means, and yet wants influences? |
A92141 | How little a portion of him doe we see? |
A92141 | How long Lord, wilt thou be angry, for ever? |
A92141 | How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? |
A92141 | How many cast we out that Christ receives in? |
A92141 | How many wonder, and despise, and persecute? |
A92141 | How mighty and strong are the acts of longing and languishing after Christ that flow from love- sicknesse? |
A92141 | How proud and shamelesse are we to deny this running botch of sin original, and say it is no sin? |
A92141 | How shall I get courage and spiritual strength? |
A92141 | How shall I get holy dispositions? |
A92141 | How shall I get praying? |
A92141 | How shall our short arme reach these influences? |
A92141 | How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? |
A92141 | How strongly may the believer argue who hath any heavenly fixedness of heart, or any thing of Christ in him? |
A92141 | How sweet is it when pain it self makes prayers to Christ? |
A92141 | How unsavoury shall this be? |
A92141 | How was he the formost in the journey to Jerusalem? |
A92141 | How? |
A92141 | I desire him to tell me, whether he can prove, that any mans sins are pardoned, before they have accepted Christ for their Lord? |
A92141 | I have sinned, what shall I doe to thee, O thou preserver of men? |
A92141 | I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them? |
A92141 | I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them? |
A92141 | If God so call some as they obey, and others as they obey not, because he will, who can resist his will? |
A92141 | If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? |
A92141 | If Infants be free of sin, why is nature called by them a step- dame, which hath brought forth men in such misery when they enter in the world? |
A92141 | If all the sick on earth were their own only Physicians, whether old or young, should it not be ill with the health of many? |
A92141 | If any say, May not sound believers also blow at the wrong harthstone and think the like? |
A92141 | If there be such summer- showres of heavenly influences under Christ, how is our fleece dry? |
A92141 | If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? |
A92141 | If this be not abusing of Scripture, what is it? |
A92141 | If you find my beloved in the Ordinances by hearing or prayer, tell him: what shall you tell him? |
A92141 | Impatiency of desire is paining, how long shall the Lord hide his face? |
A92141 | In these questions the flesh and unbelieving sense have a great hand; the question in sense includes this, Is the Lord the Lord? |
A92141 | In using publick means; watch- men, saw ye him? |
A92141 | Is his mercy clean gone for ever? |
A92141 | Is it not thus? |
A92141 | Is not Joshua ragged, and cloathed with filthy garments? |
A92141 | Is not languishing pain in love- sickness after Christ an evil to be prayed against? |
A92141 | Is not spiritual hunger humble? |
A92141 | Is not this violence? |
A92141 | Is that a supposed wrath? |
A92141 | Is there no running except God enlarge the heart? |
A92141 | Is there no running except the Lord give enlargement and new influences, and what we may here doe? |
A92141 | Is there not an heart warmness in the natural and unrenewed man? |
A92141 | It s low enough now, and yet how doth the Church lift up her head? |
A92141 | It s retorted, Had I more of nature and of natural parts, I should doe more for God; but more of nature you have, and what doe you? |
A92141 | It were strange to say that nature can of condignity merit grace, so as God should be unjust if he deny grace to nature: where is that written? |
A92141 | It''s not enough to doe the same that heathens doe; for if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? |
A92141 | It''s strange that the preaching of the Gospel and Satan lodge together in Judas; Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? |
A92141 | Knowest thou not thy self to be a servant gracelesse and malignant? |
A92141 | Let then the question be, what talk ye to us of predeterminating influences that are above us in the hand of a Soveraign God? |
A92141 | May not such as are sick of love pray for sense and comfort? |
A92141 | May we not lay out rotten and unclean hearts before God? |
A92141 | May we not then say that dispositions are the affections heavenly disposed? |
A92141 | Nor said he to the dry bone ●, Shall I open your graves, and bring you out loving and believing? |
A92141 | Now Christ not believed in for pardon, is he at so huge a distance from a sinner that he can not heal, if never seen, and never touched by faith? |
A92141 | Now can these two spirits, the Spirit of God and the Divel lodge in one and the same dwelling, and exercise their several operation on the same soul? |
A92141 | Now in all this our Saviour answers well the whole doubt; he that is not faithful in little, can he be faithful in much? |
A92141 | Now is it not good that there is a wise providence in Christ, which fits both their prayers, and does the business well? |
A92141 | O Lord God of my salvation, I cry day and night before thee: What? |
A92141 | O Lord, why hast thou made us to erre from thy ways, and hardened our hearts from thy fear? |
A92141 | O Lord, why hast thou made us to erre from thy ways? |
A92141 | O house of Israel, can not I doe with you as the potter, saith the Lord? |
A92141 | O my people, what have I done to thee? |
A92141 | O what a savour hath his birth, his life, his precious oyntments, his death, his resurrection? |
A92141 | O what depth of love, did the King chuse me, or did he once name my name, and write me for life eternal? |
A92141 | O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? |
A92141 | Oh, it speaks life to be pained for the wa ● of the Spirit and his influences: what wonder that ye can not perswade a sleeping man that he sleeps? |
A92141 | Only this shall bide a question, How shall they pray for the Spirit that want the Spirit? |
A92141 | Out of whose womb came the yce? |
A92141 | Paul had said that the world and the Princes of the world knew not the mystery of the Gospel; why? |
A92141 | Peter is angry because Christ lesseneth his stock and habit of grace and strength of faith; Lord, why can I not follow thee now? |
A92141 | Quid timetis magnum populum& Christi Judicium magnum non timetis? |
A92141 | Saith the doubting soul, Shall I ever again see the beauty and glory of his power, as sometimes I did in the Sanctuary? |
A92141 | Salvation is far from the wicked: and what are then the influences of God on them? |
A92141 | Sardis hath a name; they are living and yet are dead: then is it useless to speak to Sardis now dead? |
A92141 | Shall I ever again doubt as a down- casting soul? |
A92141 | Shall I wait any longer upon the Lord? |
A92141 | Shall any teach God knowledge? |
A92141 | Shall not Christ in you the hope of glory keep Christ himself in you? |
A92141 | Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, what makest thou? |
A92141 | Shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? |
A92141 | Shall we teach the Lord to speak? |
A92141 | Should not the child weep, when the father is angry? |
A92141 | So he may say to us, Doe ye preach, hear, swear a covenant for me at all? |
A92141 | So plagued and melted away sinners, you might have been charmed by God and would not, can you blame God? |
A92141 | So the Lord might say to the Pharisees who prayed in the streets, Did ye at all pray to me, even to me? |
A92141 | So the common excuse; woe to the Providence that God sent such an unhappy counseller to me; oh what had I to do there? |
A92141 | Some say, Shall I ever again be dead? |
A92141 | Sometimes ye were darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord? |
A92141 | Stars, why made he me not the Sun? |
A92141 | THe third particular is, what speaks a spiritual man and spiritual influences? |
A92141 | That is the physical cause, and the Lord is free of your sinful deadness and unsavouriness in so doing: Why? |
A92141 | That is, to bring Christ again from above: Or, who shall descend into the deep? |
A92141 | The Adversary is most angry at the distinction, as dark and not intelligible, and says it can not be taught the people: why? |
A92141 | The Lord despiseth not his prisoners; why? |
A92141 | The birds reason not so; they say not in winter, shall ever the Spring and the season of building our nests come again? |
A92141 | The foot should not complain, why made he not me the head? |
A92141 | The fourth particular is the fewel that makes the fire; the Scriptures opened, and opened by Christs key; Is not my word like a fire? |
A92141 | The fourth particular is the subject or seat of burning, and its the heart; did not our hearts burn within us? |
A92141 | The third question, How far David, or a child of God, may undertake to run, upon the supposal of an enlarged heart? |
A92141 | Then must we not pray till me first find Christ? |
A92141 | They accuse their own stupidity, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, did not our heart burn? |
A92141 | They perceive her in a passion, and they meet her with a sort of passion, What is your Beloved? |
A92141 | They tempted him, and provoked him; but, when? |
A92141 | Thou wilt say, why doth he yet find fault? |
A92141 | Though in this or that act of breathing there shine absolute liberty; for who hired the Lord to moisten the withered tree? |
A92141 | Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary; who is so great a Lord, as our God? |
A92141 | To what end should we speak to God of the sincerity of heavenly dispositions and fixedness of heart? |
A92141 | V. Whether or not the Lord''s withdrawing of his influences and impressions of grace doth acquit and free us of guiltiness? |
A92141 | WHether or no doth our impotency to pray and believe clear and justifie us, in that we believe not and pray not? |
A92141 | We complain of circumstances which are well timed by infinite wisedone: should sickness and botches come upon Job, when poverty had gone before? |
A92141 | We sport, yea doe not we laugh and mock at a Godhead, or at the word of a hell? |
A92141 | Well, does the Spirit breathe on Christs holy anger? |
A92141 | Were there no graves in Egypt? |
A92141 | Were there not some godly who might think Daniel needed not cry his prayers out at his window? |
A92141 | What Prophet was fourty dayes in the mount with the Lord, and eat not, but Moses? |

A92141 | What a plantation is there? |

A92141 | What are we to doe in such a case then? |
A92141 | What can Christ make out of a preaching Judas never given to him of the Father? |
A92141 | What can here be said to him who gives not account of any of his matters? |
A92141 | What can then be builded on this? |
A92141 | What can wisedom do more but cry and utter her voice, and throw over the line to such as are in the Kingdome of darkness, the promises? |
A92141 | What connexion is there betwixt Saul''s journey in seeking his fathers asses, and Samuel''s anointing him King of Israel? |
A92141 | What could the powerful influences of God Creator separated from Christ the treasure- house of love and mercy doe to us? |
A92141 | What debt is this; who of Angels or men can pay the hire of free love to Christ? |
A92141 | What did not all the Prophets convince the world of sinful unbelief? |
A92141 | What doe they who curse the day, the stars, the twilight, the birth? |

A92141 | What hast thou to doe to pray? |
A92141 | What hath the Gospel done to you? |

A92141 | What is here wanting? |
A92141 | What is meant by Reformation, whether halfe or whole, whether begun or compleat reformation of life? |
A92141 | What is meant by the spirit of the world? |
A92141 | What is such a man? |
A92141 | What is that flood? |
A92141 | What is the nature of the Covenant? |
A92141 | What is this? |
A92141 | What is thy Beloved? |
A92141 | What is thy beloved more then another beloved, O thou fairest among women? |
A92141 | What is thy beloved more then another beloved? |
A92141 | What matter of cowes, if the Church of God be brought out of the house of bondage? |
A92141 | What may we doe to wrestle out from under desertions? |
A92141 | What more can be said to blow up and make proud silly free- will? |
A92141 | What news are these? |
A92141 | What shall I say? |
A92141 | What shall beget a holy disposition to pray? |
A92141 | What the straitning is? |
A92141 | What the unrenewed and the renewed can do in the respective dead condition at the use of means? |
A92141 | What then is the fountain cause of gracious influences and breathings of the Spirit? |
A92141 | What then shall be done to be free of the indisposition of straitning, and so to get influences of enlargement of heart? |
A92141 | What then shall they doe? |
A92141 | What then? |
A92141 | What then? |
A92141 | What then? |
A92141 | What though he will not feast me with the apples of the tree of life, and suspend his comforts? |
A92141 | What wants David then that a glorified and perfected man hath? |
A92141 | What warrant to complain that all from the womb have not the same influences of grace which the Lord graciously bestowed on John Baptist? |

A92141 | When the spirit breathes not, and influences are restrained, what wonder if the soul be deadned? |
A92141 | When ye fasted, did ye at all fast unto me? |

A92141 | Where is this wide promise and Covenant to be found in Scripture? |
A92141 | Where the spirit of grace joynes no influences of saving grace, can you call that speaking to God a work of saving grace? |
A92141 | Wherefore hast thou( saith he) brought me forth out of the womb? |
A92141 | Wherefore hidest thou thy face? |

A92141 | Why suffer they such wrath of pining sicknesse, incursions of Devils, if all these be free of sin? |
A92141 | Why then doth God find fault and rebuke and eternally refuse the so called? |
A92141 | Why? |
A92141 | Why? |
A92141 | Why? |
A92141 | Wil a man be an instructer to a Disciple or Apprentice, who( to his knowledge) hates and flies from him, and abhors him? |
A92141 | Will a beggar aspire to a Kingdom; or a sow seek after pearls? |
A92141 | Will not the love of God keep the man in the love of God? |

A92141 | Will the Vnicorn be willing to serve thee? |
A92141 | Would the Objector relish prayers without influences of grace? |
A92141 | Would ye have washed Christ''s feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of your head? |
A92141 | Yet if I had the grace of David, I would not do as many doe: what is that? |
A92141 | You lay much weight on the quality and worth of prayer, when you say we must first find Christ, before we can pray to him? |
A92141 | and are loves coales so hot? |
A92141 | and are ye the dried up fig- tree, and withered up by the root, neither leaves nor fruit? |
A92141 | and did not ye drink for your selves? |
A92141 | and does not this make man and nature to make God a debtor? |
A92141 | and especially to sadden the King in the act of sealing your Writs and Evidences of Heaven, is not this dreadful? |
A92141 | and first physically act upon the hands to lift them up? |
A92141 | and hardened our hearts from thy fear? |
A92141 | and he doubles the word, that so he may the more convince them, even for me? |
A92141 | and if Omnipotency were separated from the promises of the Gospel, could it save us, in the Lord''s way? |
A92141 | and if ye salute your brethren only( not your enemies also) what do ye more then others? |
A92141 | and is he not above their tears? |
A92141 | and life eternal to all? |
A92141 | and my heart dispised reproof? |

A92141 | and the hoary- frost of Heaven, who hath gendered it? |
A92141 | and then what suitable influences of grace must goe along with these actings? |

A92141 | and will the Spirits going forth be as the pleasant morning in such a man? |
A92141 | and( which is another fault) before the time? |
A92141 | aperte dicite, justificari natura, justificari lege possumus? |
A92141 | are all the Merchants in the earth loosed from the duty of trading, and sailing cried down? |

A92141 | faith under a cloud believeth he will not cast off for ever: and will he be favourable no more? |
A92141 | for how shall they believe in him of whom they never heard? |
A92141 | for who hath, who can resist his will? |
A92141 | hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? |
A92141 | he might pray and not blow a trumpet? |
A92141 | he that died to purchase the spirit, shall he not carry on the work of redemption, by applying it, and carrying on of what he hath begun? |

A92141 | or 2. the constraining love of Christ? |
A92141 | or 3. bonds and ties laid on you by the free grace of Christ, and the state you are in, being now translated from death to life? |
A92141 | or abide by thy cribs? |
A92141 | or can a dead corps in the grave rise and slay the souldiers? |
A92141 | or can the Spirit dwell and act in that soul which abhors God and the spirit of God and his operations? |
A92141 | or did the gift and vain- glory in you, or the spirit in you? |
A92141 | or for the fire to cast heat, or the Sun to yield light? |
A92141 | or loose the bands of Orion? |
A92141 | or shall the thing framed, say of hint that framed it, He hath no understanding? |
A92141 | or sixty or an hundred grains of wheat in harvest to be in one single grain cast in the earth in sowing time? |
A92141 | or stand against him stedfast and fixed in the faith? |
A92141 | or that the new Star should be in Cassiopeia rather then in another part of the Firmament? |
A92141 | or thy work, He hath no hands? |
A92141 | or why doe dialogues, or bounded or racketted thoughts ascend in your hearts? |

A92141 | or wilt thou not live? |
A92141 | shall birds ever have Summer- singing again? |
A92141 | shall the work lie? |
A92141 | should it not be a wrong to all, and a wrong to Jesus Christ, and a wrong to free will, if such a meritorious purchase of grace be made to all? |

A92141 | who hath resisted his will? |
A92141 | who hath resisted his will? |
A92141 | who will hearken and hear for the time to come? |
A92141 | why are they called by nature the heirs of wrath? |
A92141 | why bestows he not as much saving influences on me, as on David, Moses, Noah, Job, and Daniel? |
A92141 | why do they eat, drink, sleep, hear? |
A92141 | why doth he not blame his own Decree?) |
A92141 | why not as much grace, and of the fulness of the anointing, as upon the man Christ, that holy thing, Jesus? |
A92141 | why was this man born blind? |
A92141 | why weep I? |
A92141 | will he delve, and dresse, and purge me, that I may bring forth more fruit? |
A92141 | will it be welcomed and received? |
A92141 | will ye go no farther then on natures leading because there is no promise of grace made to natures acting? |
A92141 | wilt thou be altogether to me as a lyar, and as waters that fail? |
A92141 | would it cure a man of a raging pest- boile, to say it was no pest, to give it another name? |

A92141 | ye never went into the Kings chamber, nor to his house of wine, and how can ye speak to him? |
A92141 | ye would not have committed adultery and bloudshed; could you have commanded the influences of God, and warded off an evil hour of a sad desertion? |
A92141 | yet there is place for that Question, Whether the Lord hath not brought himself under a holy necessity of giving influences? |
A92141 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Lord what wilt thou have me to doe? |

A20769 | & are you also become a Proctor for free will? |
A20769 | & c. What is an altar but the Seat of the Body and Bloud of Christ? |
A20769 | & that in his Cases of conscience? |
A20769 | 16 Be not just over much, neither make thy selfe over wise: for why shouldst thou be desolate? |
A20769 | 17 Be not overmuch wicked, neither bee thou foolish: for why shouldst thou dye not in thy time? |
A20769 | A Frenchman, saith Canisius and Possevin, and others: yet can they not finde either in France, or any part of Europe, a place whence he should be? |
A20769 | Againe, hath hee any sparke of grace or of wit, who must haue lusorious lots for his recreation? |
A20769 | Agreeing therefore in the Thing that there is a Real Presence, wherein lies the difference betwixt vs? |
A20769 | All other sorts of men are allowed to defend themselues: and must wee alone suffer wrong and say nought? |
A20769 | An errour in judgement will you say? |
A20769 | And S. Augustine, How shall I convay my hand into heauen that I may hold him sitting there? |
A20769 | And S. Augustine, Without this sanctification of invisible grace, what doe the visible sacraments availe? |
A20769 | And Saint Ambrose, This therefore wee say, How can that which is bread be Christs body? |
A20769 | And Zanchie, will a Father speake obscurely to his children in things concerning their salvation, that they shall need to seeke interpreters? |
A20769 | And againe, Why doth Christ there call bread his body? |
A20769 | And are there not among vs too many of this kinde? |
A20769 | And being so, doe you thinke that the Divell neuer plaid the Divell by them? |
A20769 | And did not St Paul according to this direction end his Prayer with ascribing Glory vnto God in the Church by Christ Iesus throughout all ages? |
A20769 | And did not ours trow you doe so also in Q. Maries daies? |
A20769 | And did not the Romane souldiers agree to cast Lots who should haue our Saviours seamlesse coat? |
A20769 | And doe they not indeed? |
A20769 | And doth not St Cyril expresly say, he could not be cōversant with his disciples in the Flesh after he was once ascended to his Father? |
A20769 | And doth not our Saviour likewise desire to be glorified with that glory which be had with his Father before the world was? |
A20769 | And fearest thou not nor blushest that in that very houre thou art found a Lyar? |
A20769 | And first as touching the Dignitie of the Ministrie, cui non dictus his Hylas? |
A20769 | And for what? |
A20769 | And how know you that it is infallible? |
A20769 | And how know you they consent therein? |
A20769 | And how proue you that? |
A20769 | And how shall they heare without a Preacher? |
A20769 | And if Manna, why not by the same proportion other Sacraments also? |
A20769 | And if as Cyprian saith, When we read God speaketh vnto vs, how can it bee but that in reading we heare the voice of God? |
A20769 | And if his Providence reach euen to the smallest matters, what impeachment can it be to his honour to giue commandment touching them also? |
A20769 | And if in a thousand, why not in a thousand thousand millions? |
A20769 | And if it be evill to be evill, why wilt thou bee that which thou wilt not seeme to be? |
A20769 | And if it were so, it would follow that all they that eat Christ Sacramentally( among whom how many Reprobates are there?) |
A20769 | And if nothing can cleanse the leprosie thereof but only the bloud of the sonne of God, how can we but abhorre it? |
A20769 | And if such confidence may be vsed in Private Prayer, how much more in the publike congregation of the Saints? |
A20769 | And if wee as yet vnglorified doe glorifie him: how should not the Sonne much more be able to doe it? |
A20769 | And indeed as long as Satan continueth to be malitious against vs, how can it be otherwise? |
A20769 | And indeed how could it bee otherwise? |
A20769 | And is it nothing to be one of the King of Englands Porters? |
A20769 | And is it so indeed, that the Ministry is of all callings the most noble and honourable? |
A20769 | And is not this a manifest contradiction? |
A20769 | And of these in order, though not according to their worth and desert( for who is sufficient for these things?) |
A20769 | And shall we not thinke him worthy to bee beleeued when he saith he hath changed Wine into his Blood? |
A20769 | And shall we thinke that the Father tooke not order sufficient for the attaining of his end? |
A20769 | And tell me, hast thou any wit or iudgement? |
A20769 | And that all Historians report of so much jugling and false play vsed in them? |
A20769 | And that if it were possible the cup might passe from him? |
A20769 | And the Sermons of a Preacher, doe you not style them his Lectures or Readings? |
A20769 | And therefore what time more fitting the sacrifice of the true Lambe, then that which presently followed vpon the slaying of the typicall? |
A20769 | And thou profound Hooker, then whom never any man spake with more reason, werst thou also mad with reason? |
A20769 | And thus you see the Father is willing, what the Sonne? |
A20769 | And was there ever, or will there ever be a Church so happy as to be altogether free of them? |
A20769 | And what I pray you is Nourishment properly? |
A20769 | And what a reasoning is this? |
A20769 | And what are they made that receaue it? |
A20769 | And what caused such hard censures to passe vpon Hosiander, but his owne inconvenient speeches, and other mens mistakings? |
A20769 | And what difference is there betweene the tongue speaking and the hand writing in regard of testimonie? |
A20769 | And what doth all this argue but that it is mans duty to preserue himselfe? |
A20769 | And what is that but Readers? |
A20769 | And what may he be? |
A20769 | And what will the sentence be? |
A20769 | And what? |
A20769 | And when you would knowe who preaches, is it not your manner to aske who reades? |
A20769 | And where is the state I pray you in wich capitall questions are divided by Lot? |
A20769 | And whereas hee hath said of the Wine, This is my Bloud, who will doubt or say, it is not his Bloud? |
A20769 | And whether did he lift them? |
A20769 | And which of them hath not deserved by sin to be severely punished? |
A20769 | And who certainely knoweth but he may yet be much younger then so? |
A20769 | And why doe all Divines both ancient and moderne ever in their writings call them the Oracles of the Divell? |
A20769 | And why in weauing them doe they like Spiders thus vnbowell themselues? |
A20769 | And why is it needlesse? |
A20769 | And why not rather God, and We, and Fortune? |
A20769 | And why play you at Chesse, at the Philosophers game, at Bowles, seeing you haue Ouranomachie, Metromachie,& the long Bow where with to recreate you? |
A20769 | And why then should wee thinke that the Holy Ghost either can not or will not worke together with them? |
A20769 | And why thither? |
A20769 | And why would he not? |
A20769 | And why? |
A20769 | And why? |
A20769 | And yet againe lastlie, why say they should I goe to the Church if there be no Sermon there? |
A20769 | And yet how many are there in these daies who despise this sacred function, and set it at nought? |
A20769 | And ô thou glorious Archangell of the Church of England Whitgift, wert thou also a seducing Spirit? |
A20769 | Are pardons impossible to bee obtained from Princes? |
A20769 | Are you an enimy to eloquent and learned preaching? |
A20769 | As for the descant vpon this plainsong, what? |
A20769 | Athanasius, or the Comment vnder his name, What is the bread? |
A20769 | Because before consecration it was Bread, as some say? |
A20769 | Besides what confusion of speech is this, Christ is in a place but not locally, or as in a place? |
A20769 | But I beseech you my brethren, doe you indeed thinke Reading is no way a publishing or making knowne of Gods will? |
A20769 | But I beseech you what merit, what preparation of himselfe was there in Adam vnto life, while as yet he lay like a dead lump of clay before his maker? |
A20769 | But Wrath and desire of revenge in him that wanteth power is vaine and foolish according to that of the Poet Quid stulti proprium? |
A20769 | But as Samuel said vnto Saul standing vpon his innocencie, What meaneth then the bleating of the sheep in mine eares, and the lowing of the Oxen? |
A20769 | But can the Magistrate also by his lawes binde the conscience? |
A20769 | But can wee finde them in the Protestant Church? |
A20769 | But dares any man thus quarrell the prophecie and Intercession of Christ? |
A20769 | But did the Father intend it, or doth the Sonne bestow it only on them, excluding all others? |
A20769 | But doth Christ bestow life vpon all them that are so given him? |
A20769 | But experience telleth vs that every severall cast varieth and altereth the Chance: and how then can we excuse God from mutabilitie and inconstancie? |
A20769 | But here it will happily be said, what? |
A20769 | But here some happily will say, what? |
A20769 | But how I beseech you are wee paid our due? |
A20769 | But how came he to the knowledge hereof? |
A20769 | But how came they to the knowledge of them? |
A20769 | But how doe wee trouble him? |
A20769 | But how doth God worke this faith? |
A20769 | But how long was this power to continue with him? |
A20769 | But how many among you are neither, nor wise, nor innocent? |
A20769 | But how many villanies are there committed in the world which never come to the knowledge of the magistrate, and so escape without punishment? |
A20769 | But how may this be will you say, that it should remaine bread and yet be made flesh? |
A20769 | But how proue you that Lottery is Gods pure act? |
A20769 | But how? |
A20769 | But how? |
A20769 | But if it be so inconvenient to say Reading is Preaching, why doe you yourselues call Preaching Reading? |
A20769 | But in vouching Irenaeus what is the reason you curtal one place, and adde vnto another? |
A20769 | But is it impossible, will you say, for the Manhood of Christ to be present in many places at once? |
A20769 | But is it necessarie that the word should bee Preached to the engendring of faith in vs, or will it not suffice to read it? |
A20769 | But is it vniust so to doe? |
A20769 | But is it weightie enough for a lot? |
A20769 | But it will bee said, why doth not God hinder them, being able? |
A20769 | But know you against whom you dispute? |
A20769 | But may we with Christ desire that the Glory begun in vs be manifested vnto others? |
A20769 | But might not God if he had beene so pleased haue vsed some other meanes for the appeasing of his wrath? |
A20769 | But of this what doth he collect? |
A20769 | But soft good sir, how is all this proued? |
A20769 | But some man perhaps will say, what need so many words to proue so cleare a case? |
A20769 | But stay, my bretheren, is not Reading Gods ordinance also? |
A20769 | But to answere a little more particularly, where you damaund, if a Lot were ordained by God to make men sport withall? |
A20769 | But to what end all this? |
A20769 | But to whom will it accuse? |
A20769 | But what Civill Magistrate? |
A20769 | But what are lawes vnlesse they bee duly executed? |
A20769 | But what are the words I pray you wherein this may appeare? |
A20769 | But what argument vseth he to perswade? |
A20769 | But what authority? |
A20769 | But what if David in that place spake not of Dore- keepers? |
A20769 | But what if by Innocence I can not escape the danger, must I still persist in mine Innocence? |
A20769 | But what if the Lot fall amisse, as it may doe, shall God be a false witnesse? |
A20769 | But what ioyning doe they meane? |
A20769 | But what meaneth he when he saith, Let vs behold it with the eyes of our vnderstanding? |
A20769 | But what must wee thus Deny? |

A20769 | But what? |
A20769 | But what? |
A20769 | But what? |
A20769 | But what? |
A20769 | But what? |
A20769 | But when did you ever heare a Preacher treat of this argument, or goe about to proue it? |
A20769 | But when receaued he this power from him, and how long was he to hold it? |
A20769 | But where is it written? |
A20769 | But where shall a man finde such a Serpent- Doue, such a wise innocent? |
A20769 | But wherein are we to imitate him? |
A20769 | But who I pray are those tearmed Papists? |
A20769 | But who is the binder of the conscience? |
A20769 | But whose example are we to follow? |
A20769 | But why doth hee call it Bread? |
A20769 | But why should any man thinke that it pertaines to a Divine to define a lot? |
A20769 | But why should either we or you trust so much vnto deceitfull man? |
A20769 | But you will say, wherein standeth this Spirituall authority of Christ? |
A20769 | By Naturall Reason? |
A20769 | By Scripture? |
A20769 | By Sermons? |
A20769 | By any approved example then? |
A20769 | By expresse commandement? |
A20769 | By the Spirit then? |
A20769 | Can a Lot once cast determine it, and suffice to put a man to death? |
A20769 | Can it infallibly find out the guilty person? |
A20769 | Can you proue the truth of Christs body in the Sacrament by the same argument? |
A20769 | Can you reconcile this contradiction? |
A20769 | Christ, saith Cyril, hath said of the bread, This is my Body: and who will dare to doubt thereof? |
A20769 | Corporally and Really? |
A20769 | Cyril of Alexandria, Doest thou say that our Sacrament is the eating of a man? |
A20769 | Did Christ as Lord of the Passeouer prevent the due day prescribed by his Father? |
A20769 | Did not Ionas with one sermon humble the pride of the King of Niniveh and all that mighty citty into sackcloth and ashes? |
A20769 | Did not Paul, discoursing of iustice and temperance, and iudgement to come, make Felix the governour although a heathen yet to tremble? |
A20769 | Did not Peter, at his first preaching to the Iewes, pricke them to the heart, and at once adde about three thousand soules vnto the Church? |
A20769 | Did our Saviour forget himselfe when he fell on his face? |
A20769 | Did you thinke you should be taken for another Pythagoras? |
A20769 | Didst thou not promise to the Priest who said, lift vp your hearts, saying, wee lift them vp vnto the Lord? |
A20769 | Divine? |
A20769 | Doe all these indeed interpret the Fathers as you doe? |
A20769 | Doe they not liue too familiarly with them, never rebuking them nor shewing any dislike of their wicked courses? |
A20769 | Doe they not together with the wicked too much loue temporall things? |
A20769 | Doe we gather grapes of thornes, or figgs of thistles, or good fruite of an evill tree? |
A20769 | Doe we not offer daily? |
A20769 | Doe we therefore indeed count you so? |
A20769 | Doth God set his mercies, and his loue vpon them, and dares man deny his vnto them? |
A20769 | Doth he command vs to beleeue by a meanes that is vtterly vnable and vnfit to worke beleefe? |
A20769 | Doth he not as fully answere you Papists, who cleane contrary to his Tenet destroy and change the bread to make it Christs body? |
A20769 | Doth he not loue his Church? |
A20769 | Doth hee not say when they persecute you in one citty fly into another? |
A20769 | Doth not Saint Paul also giue vs this caveat, beware of dogs, beware of concision? |
A20769 | Doth not Solomon also speake of theeues who share their pillages, and robbers amongst themselues by Lot? |
A20769 | Doth the Church of France at this day admit of the Councel of Trent, which you count the chiefest stake in your hedge? |
A20769 | Doth this Argument follow yea or no? |
A20769 | Eies likewise that are vnchast& full of lust, how dare they looke vp vnto that holy place, or that holy one that dwelleth therein? |
A20769 | Else how could he be said to manifest his glory? |
A20769 | Ergo Christ is present by Transubstantiation? |
A20769 | Ergo Transubstantiation? |
A20769 | Ergo by the judgement of the Fathers, the flesh of Christ is Really and by way of Transubstantiation present in the Sacrament? |
A20769 | Ergo the lot may not be cast twice about one thing? |
A20769 | Et quid negabit qui iam dedit filios esse? |
A20769 | Fie, that were heathenish, and who dares say so? |
A20769 | First Humanity ▪ for what heart of flint or adamant would not melt to behold so many thousands so fearfully to perish? |
A20769 | First Quid, what is the gift? |
A20769 | First then doe the wicked fare the better for the godly that liue among them? |
A20769 | First, Quid, what hath the Father given him? |
A20769 | For Preaching is to no purpose without Hearing: and to what end Praying in the Congregation if none concurre with him? |
A20769 | For as for wicked men their honouring doth but avile and abase vs. And what talkest thou of a poore life? |
A20769 | For did not he very passionately entreat his Father to bee delivered from that houre? |
A20769 | For doe we steere at the helme of other mens affections? |
A20769 | For doe you not in ordinary speech call your Preachers Lecturers? |
A20769 | For how doe we knowe whether they will direct vs? |
A20769 | For how doth it appeare from hence that Protestants vnderstand the Fathers in point of Transubstantiation as you doe? |
A20769 | For how doth this follow? |
A20769 | For how many men would his Body haue sufficed, that it might be the food of the whole world? |
A20769 | For how the same drinke? |
A20769 | For if God will not be pacified without full satisfaction, how dare we commit it? |
A20769 | For in death there is no remembrance of thee, in the graue who shall giue thee thankes? |
A20769 | For in the institution of a Sacrament what forme can be more fit then that which is proper to a Sacrament? |
A20769 | For it is as if he should say, what need two eyes if a man may see with one? |
A20769 | For may not Satan as well haue a hand in a Lot, as in a voice in the aire? |
A20769 | For otherwise what need so great power and glory to atchieue it? |
A20769 | For so doth Saint Augustine expound himselfe elsewhere, Why preparest thou thy teeth and thy belly? |
A20769 | For so he saith, The bread which we breake is it not the Communion of the body of Christ? |
A20769 | For so many may the severall places be that all put together may make a greater space: then which what plainer contradiction? |
A20769 | For the Word being every where, and the Humane Nature being no where feuered from it, how can it be, say they, but every where? |
A20769 | For then how can we resemble our heavenly Father, and be perfect as hee is perfect? |
A20769 | For this worthy worke so difficult vnto the Magistrate, so profitable vnto vs, what duty are wee to returne? |
A20769 | For to what end is power if it be never brought forth into act? |
A20769 | For to which of the creatures besides is the Subsistence of the sonne of God communicated? |
A20769 | For what are wee in nature but stinking carkasses? |
A20769 | For what greater testimonie either of his loue, or of his will to saue then this? |
A20769 | For what is bread? |
A20769 | For what is vacuitie but a space vnfilled by a Body? |
A20769 | For what need is there of a Preacher? |
A20769 | For what need sermons? |
A20769 | For what thing is there in the world more vncertaine then a meer Chance? |
A20769 | For what was it that set Luther and Zuinglius so farre asunder, but misprision? |
A20769 | For what was this Rupertus, but a man of yesterday? |
A20769 | For which of the Saints of God is without sinne? |
A20769 | For who is hee that dares withstand so great Authority as is that of the Fathers, backt with Scripture? |
A20769 | For why should I stray with him that will needs out of the Way? |
A20769 | For why? |
A20769 | Forever? |
A20769 | Forsooth from divine revelation? |
A20769 | Forsooth it is enough for you to say it, and then what man so wicked or ignorant that dare gainsay it? |
A20769 | Furthermore, this doctrine, say they, is a maintainer of Idlers, and dumb dogs, and soule murtherers,& what not? |
A20769 | Furthermore, what is the reason that so many graue and learned men haue in all ages published so many excellent bookes? |
A20769 | God? |
A20769 | Gods? |
A20769 | Had they so continued, hee had never conquered death nor hell: and hauing not freed himselfe from them, how could hee set vs free? |
A20769 | Had you knowne it, how easily might you haue avoided those many troubles, vexations, and torments that yee endured? |
A20769 | Hath he not made all? |
A20769 | Hath he power only of men, and not of other things? |
A20769 | Haue theeues, and robbers, and evill men store of wealth, and hath hee no riches in store for thee? |
A20769 | Haue there not beene long quarrells betweene the Franciscans and Dominicans about the Conception of the blessed Virgin Mary? |
A20769 | Hauing therefore lost the kernell, why are you so greedy of the shell? |
A20769 | Hearest thou then thy Master pray? |
A20769 | Hee drawes vs indeed: what? |
A20769 | Hee it is whom Abraham vnderstands here when he saith, Should not the iudge of the whole world doe right? |
A20769 | Hell gates shall never be able to prevaile against it: how much lesse the policies of mortall men, or their strongest attempts? |
A20769 | Here happily some will say, what, are you fled into the enimies campe? |
A20769 | Himselfe? |
A20769 | His argument is expresly set downe in these words, Shall not the iudge of the whole world doe right? |
A20769 | How acceptable would they then be to him to whom they are addressed? |
A20769 | How ancient? |
A20769 | How few good Christians are there? |
A20769 | How followeth this? |
A20769 | How is that? |
A20769 | How knowe you that? |
A20769 | How long? |
A20769 | How many families of Philosophers haue heretofore failed without successor? |
A20769 | How many haue beene intruded at the pleasure of harlots? |
A20769 | How many haue intruded themselues into that See by Simonie? |
A20769 | How many sects of Hereticks are vanished and melted away as dew before the sunne? |
A20769 | How often haue you now affirmed that God worketh immediatly in every Lot? |
A20769 | How readily and louingly would the true Church of Christ entertaine you? |
A20769 | How shall they beleeue in him of whom they haue not heard? |
A20769 | How so I pray you? |
A20769 | How so, being so opposite vnto it? |
A20769 | How so, will you say? |
A20769 | How so? |
A20769 | How soone the daies of triall may come who knowes? |
A20769 | How then is it necessary as you say, not arbitrary? |
A20769 | How then is it? |
A20769 | How then? |
A20769 | How then? |
A20769 | How then? |
A20769 | How then? |
A20769 | How then? |
A20769 | How then? |
A20769 | How then? |
A20769 | How then? |
A20769 | How then? |
A20769 | How then? |
A20769 | How thine? |
A20769 | How was he carried in his owne hands? |
A20769 | Humane? |
A20769 | I aske then when the Cup is consecrated, wherewith is it filled? |
A20769 | I beseech you Sir, and can you Papists produce any one of the Fathers that expressely saith Bread is transubstantiated into Christs body? |
A20769 | I demand then if the doctrine of Baptisme be necessary? |
A20769 | I demand therefore why you beleeue the Church? |
A20769 | I doubt of it: how can you warrant it? |
A20769 | I. D. First, what if I should except against this Cyril as an vnsufficient witnesse? |
A20769 | I. D. This Argument seemeth to be of great esteeme among you: for who almost vrgeth it not, and that with great confidence? |
A20769 | I. D. To what end this passage of St Hierom? |
A20769 | If Fortune, why not We much more? |
A20769 | If Iobs wife may be judge she will say, Doest thou still continue in thine vprightnesse? |
A20769 | If Philosophers haue delivered things that are true, wee may challenge them from them as from vniust possessors? |
A20769 | If all the faithfull must shine with good workes as lights in the world: how much more they who by office are the very lights of the world? |
A20769 | If all this be so, will some say, and Christs power bee so large, why is it here restrained only vnto all Flesh, that is, vnto Mankinde? |
A20769 | If any aske quis prohibet, who forbids in such cases to obey? |
A20769 | If appeale be made vnto the supreame power, what redresse? |
A20769 | If for his naturall life, how much more pretious should his spirituall life be vnto him? |
A20769 | If hee bee the only Sonne in whom the Father is well pleased, will he thinke you deny him any thing? |
A20769 | If it be evill to be evill, why wilt thou bee that which thou wilt not seeme to be? |
A20769 | If it be faultlesse, what needed other translations, as that of Pagnine, Vatablus, and Arias Montanus? |
A20769 | If it be so, will you yet say, why doth our Saviour Christ vse this forme of words, if any will let him? |
A20769 | If it bee, why should the rest of the Articles need to be sustained by an higher Principle, more then it? |
A20769 | If no, as indeed it can not, how is it that you say, bring it to a Lot, and that shall decide it? |
A20769 | If not, why should you presume to doe it in the Lords Supper? |
A20769 | If not: why doe you vpbraid them vnto vs? |
A20769 | If nothing, as some of you say, then is the Proposition thus to bee supplied, Nothing is my Body, then which what can be more palpably absurd? |
A20769 | If so, then is there some other ordinary meanes besides Sermons; and what can that bee but the written word and the Reading thereof? |
A20769 | If so, whence then is it that many who are invited come not? |
A20769 | If something, I demand what? |
A20769 | If the eyes of all things looke vp vnto him, expecting a supply of all their needs from him: should not our eyes much more be fixed vpon him? |
A20769 | If then the sufferings of Christ were only temporarie and not eternall, how hath he suffered and satisfied sufficiently for sinne? |
A20769 | If they come to light and bee discouered, doth not greatnesse breake through lawes as wasps doe through cobwebs? |
A20769 | If they will haue vs follow the one, why refuse they to imitate the other? |
A20769 | If they will scarce vouchsafe vs a good word, is it likely they will afford vs any Reverence in Gesture? |
A20769 | If this be so, will some men say, how then can wee be both wise and innocent at once? |
A20769 | If this be so, will some say, why then knowing it did he not avoide it? |
A20769 | If this be your mind, will some yet say, what is it then your dislike? |
A20769 | If thou canst with Peter pricke the people at the heart, and make them say, Men and brethren what shall we doe? |
A20769 | If thy chest bee full of treasure thou countest thy selfe rich: and canst thou be poore if thy heart be full of innocence? |
A20769 | If yee aske of a Priest, art thou a Priest? |
A20769 | If yee should be wise and not innocent, in what danger were wee poore sheepe whose liues and liuelodes after a sort are in your hands? |
A20769 | If you say they may, then I demand farther, whether the Lot will alwaies fall out right? |
A20769 | If you thinke you may be so bold and confident vpon your Author, tell vs I pray you why we may not be as bold and confident on our? |
A20769 | In a case so doubtfull vnto thee what folly, nay what madnesse is it for time to hazard eternity? |
A20769 | In a word, can sinne be a disposition or preparation vnto Grace? |
A20769 | In a word, what more frequent in Scripture then to call this power of Christ the kingdome of Heaven? |
A20769 | In creation of the world? |
A20769 | In himselfe therefore he must find it: and what other can that be then his Glorie? |
A20769 | In like manner is it with vs. And if wee who are the Salt of the earth, once loose our savour, wherewithall shall we be seasoned? |
A20769 | In the name of all the rest? |
A20769 | In which words alluding to that of the Apostle, we are one loafe, and one body, and explicating the same, What speake I, saith he of communication? |
A20769 | In working miracles, and the like? |
A20769 | Indeed it can not: and who saith it is? |
A20769 | Is God to be ruled by man, and divine actions to be directed by humane affections? |
A20769 | Is he so iealous and charie of it that he will not haue it in any case touched or blemished? |
A20769 | Is hee not Really also present to the Faith of every true beleever even out of the Sacrament? |
A20769 | Is it because in them the chance is applied to the determining of some thing in doubt? |
A20769 | Is it because in them we confesse God to be the onely determiner? |
A20769 | Is it because there is in them a Divine providence? |
A20769 | Is it because there is in them a casualtie? |
A20769 | Is it because there is in them an immediat providence? |
A20769 | Is it from Soules newly arrived? |
A20769 | Is it from the Angells then? |
A20769 | Is it in the arguments and motiues whereby they perswade? |
A20769 | Is it in the doctrine and matter of Sermons? |
A20769 | Is it in the vtterance, voice, gesture, behauiour, or credit of the Preacher? |
A20769 | Is it lastly because Christs body lies hid vnder the shewes of bread? |
A20769 | Is it not that they who never knewe nor heard them may yet reape benefit by their writing? |
A20769 | Is it possible to kill a dead man? |
A20769 | Is it the inconvenience of the tearmes, or the vntruth of the proposition? |
A20769 | Is it the language that seemeth so harsh and jarring to your eares? |
A20769 | Is it then because they haue beene vsed in holy and religious businesses? |
A20769 | Is it to convert a sinner, or to saue a soule? |
A20769 | Is not Divinitie Architectonicall, and soueraigne mistresse of all other Sciences? |
A20769 | Is not innocencie it selfe great riches? |
A20769 | Is not the Bloud of Christ really present in Baptisme to the washing away of sinne? |
A20769 | Is not the holy Catholike Church it selfe an Article of the Creed? |
A20769 | Is there vntruth in the proposition? |
A20769 | Is this Power of Christ Secular and Mundane? |
A20769 | Is this the honour, is this the obedience, is this the thankfulnes wherewith we requite our gouernours? |
A20769 | Is this the man who especially among the rest fully answereth Mr ● Downe and all Protestants? |
A20769 | It is God, or We, or Fortune? |
A20769 | It is a fearfull speech of Saint Chrysostome, Quis vnquam Clericum lapsum paenitentem vidit? |
A20769 | It is not so high aboue thee, as Moses saith, that thou shouldest say, who shall goe vp for vs to heauen and bring it to vs? |
A20769 | Iudges themselues doe they not oftentimes either vpon errour and mistaking as men, or for fee and favour as corrupt men pervert iustice? |
A20769 | Iustin Martyr, We be taught that the sanctified food which nourisheth our flesh and bloud( and what is that but Bread?) |
A20769 | Lastly they obiect that of S. Paul to the Romans, How shall they call on him in whom they haue not beleeued? |
A20769 | Lies he senslesse without breath or motion? |
A20769 | Man? |
A20769 | Mans? |
A20769 | May be? |
A20769 | May it not, saith hee, conveniently be said, that his humanity is the vine and wee the Branches by reason of the identity of nature? |
A20769 | May not a man hide his counsells so deepe, and carry his actions so cunningly that nor witnesse nor Iudge shall know them? |
A20769 | May not a man refuse to be subiect if he list? |
A20769 | May not brethren disagree and yet continue brethren? |
A20769 | May not judges, jury, witnesses, by friends, fauour, bribes be corrupted? |
A20769 | May not they be vsed neither? |
A20769 | May wee iustly say the same of the Scriptures, and the pen- men thereof? |
A20769 | Mr Perkins? |
A20769 | Must lift vp? |
A20769 | Must the spirituall man deny himselfe? |
A20769 | Must we thus deny our selues? |
A20769 | Must wee be simple as asses to beare all wrongs? |
A20769 | Must? |
A20769 | N. N. Whereas Christ hath said of the Bread, This is my Body, who will dare to doubt thereof? |
A20769 | Nay if wee that are so vnworthy are yet heard for his sake: how can hee that is of such infinite worth but bee heard when as himselfe praies? |
A20769 | Nay quid negabit qui filium nobis dedit? |
A20769 | Nay rather why should we not in all humility vtterly deny our selues? |
A20769 | Nay what if I should yeeld you a corporall presence? |
A20769 | Need I to spend time in prouing of this? |
A20769 | Neither is it so farre from thee, that thou shouldest say, who shall goe ouer the Sea for vs and bring it vnto vs? |
A20769 | Neither yet let any man say vnto mee, what need Sermons if reading be sufficient? |
A20769 | Neverthelesse let vs for the present suppose it to be true: What inferre you therevpon? |
A20769 | Ninthly and lastly, if one and the same Body may be in mo places then one at once, why not in a thousand? |
A20769 | No could? |
A20769 | No danger? |
A20769 | No leasure to be Ministers? |
A20769 | No man to be in him, but hee only in whom himselfe is by the Sacrament? |
A20769 | No outward face in England for so many hundred yeares together but Roman? |
A20769 | No were? |
A20769 | No were? |
A20769 | Not any Figure? |
A20769 | Nothing to be done but that is necessary? |
A20769 | Nought set by of any? |
A20769 | Now all this cui bono? |
A20769 | Now how comes in this For? |
A20769 | Now if Reading be Preaching who is not sufficient for these things? |
A20769 | Now if it be God- man that prayes, is it possible hee should misse of his suit? |
A20769 | Now suppose witnesses fayle and can not be produced: what can a Lot doe? |
A20769 | Now then if question be demanded, to whether Magistrate, Subiection is to bee yeelded, the Soveraigne or the Subordinate? |
A20769 | Now then in regard of these manifold and great dangers what course are we to take? |
A20769 | Now vnto authority who seeth not that Obedience is due? |
A20769 | Now wanting both knowledge and will, to what end were ability, had they any? |
A20769 | Now what is the end of the Ministry? |
A20769 | Now what you? |
A20769 | Now whether of these two sences shall we take? |
A20769 | Now which of these two must be denied? |
A20769 | Now, saith he, some perhaps will say, if Christ be the seed of Abraham, are we so also? |
A20769 | Now, what you? |
A20769 | O Hypocrite, if it bee good to be good, why wilt thou not be that which thou wilt seeme to be? |
A20769 | O that your principall aime were to redresse abuses,& to remoue scandalls out of the Church ▪ how pretious would your name bee among the Saints? |
A20769 | O the paucity also? |
A20769 | Of the name I mean, being destitute of the thing? |
A20769 | Of this knowledge, this wisdome, this power who is there in the world but only God? |
A20769 | Oh how glad would the blessed Angels in heaven bee, might they once behold your conversion? |
A20769 | Only to take meat into the mouth? |
A20769 | Or are there no bickerings and contentions among you concerning it? |
A20769 | Or because it seemeth to bee Bread, as others say? |
A20769 | Or being enwrapt in the same punishment, with the wicked, how is God iust? |
A20769 | Or doe you thinke it vnlawfull in Sermons to alleadge the sayings of ancient Fathers and other writers? |
A20769 | Or doth every quarrell exclude out of the Church of God? |
A20769 | Or haue we the command of their actions? |
A20769 | Or if any haue done it, did they not perswade you to that whereof you were already perswaded? |
A20769 | Or make our selues as butts for every one to shoot the arrowes of his injuries against vs? |
A20769 | Or that by receauing the Communion wee are really, substantially, and corporally transubstantiated into the very Body of Christ? |
A20769 | Or that they would with such impietie and sacrilege haue burned and consumed it in the fire? |
A20769 | Or that your owne bare 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 would be of sufficient authority? |
A20769 | Or the Publican doe amisse when he stood aloofe off, not daring to lift vp his eyes to Heaven? |
A20769 | Or thus, therefore you are in the right? |
A20769 | Or to beget the child that is already borne? |
A20769 | Or was it true of our Church in thy time which the Prophet spake of his, Doctores tui Seductores tui, thy teachers are thy seducers? |
A20769 | Or what can herein bee said which hath not beene already said? |
A20769 | Our Lord Iesus Christ doth testifie vnto vs that we receiued his Body and Bloud: and may we doubt of his credit or testimonie? |
A20769 | Peter or Paul, or one of them vpon whom clouen tongues descended? |
A20769 | Prayer also for the reliefe of soules tormented in Purgatory how can they hold, not beleeuing that there is a Purgatory? |
A20769 | Preaching and prayer are answerable vnto them: why then should we imagine such an inequality betweene them? |
A20769 | Qui non vetat peccare cum potest iubet: hee bids men sinne who 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A20769 | Quid, what the gift is? |
A20769 | Really fed? |
A20769 | S. Ambrose elsewhere expoundeth himselfe saying, What therefore doe we? |
A20769 | Secondly suppose that preaching of Sermons were here meant, yet what consequence is this, Sermons breed Faith, ergo Reading doth not? |
A20769 | Secondly, it is as necessary that the Soule haue life in it selfe: or else how can it giue life? |
A20769 | Sed lingua quo vadis, whither strayest thou ô my tongue? |
A20769 | Shall I say his meaning is, that it can not every way and in all respects bee alike to both without vniustice? |
A20769 | Shall I spend time to proue that we are to pray vnto God our Father? |
A20769 | Shall I tell you a story? |
A20769 | Shall not these one day rise vp in iudgement against vs Christians to condemne vs? |
A20769 | Shall we say that the Sonne though he hath power yet wants will? |
A20769 | Smith a Puritan, a Brownist, an Anabaptist, a Se- baptist, what not? |
A20769 | So may I say vnto you, what meaneth the exclamation of the country vpon cruell oppressions, intolerable fines, racking of rents, and the like? |
A20769 | So we may attaine eternall blessednesse, what mattereth it though we passe through rough and tempestuous seas vnto it? |
A20769 | Some will say, is the Roman Church at this day no part of the Church of God? |
A20769 | That Christians are to be baptized, what more plaine then that Goe teach all nations Baptizing them? |
A20769 | That the Knight vnderstands the Fathers as you doe? |
A20769 | That the cow and the beare should feede together, and their young ones lye downe together, and the Lyon eate straw like the Oxe? |
A20769 | That which is Immediate and Extraordinary? |
A20769 | The Formes or Accidents of the Elements? |
A20769 | The Scripture then is perfect: is it also facile and easie to bee vnderstood? |
A20769 | The action of God being thus cleared from vniustice, what shall we say of Abraham and his assertion? |
A20769 | The blessed virgin her selfe demanded of the Angell, How may this be seeing I know not man? |
A20769 | The ground of his opinion was that of the Iewes, Thou are not yet fiftie, and hast thou seene Abraham? |
A20769 | The next point to be considered is the worke of that houre, what worke will you say? |
A20769 | The present auditorie will some say? |
A20769 | The same was also signified by the golden bells and pomegranates hanging round about vpon the hemme of his priestly vestment? |
A20769 | The testimony of the Church touching her selfe? |
A20769 | Then I againe demand, what that is which is vnder this? |
A20769 | Then belike not all things, as Gregory saith: else what needed this restriction? |
A20769 | Then with many words you inveigh against all those wicked ones who make a Game of Oaths, Vowes, Prayer, Sacraments, Sabbath, Scripture, and what not? |
A20769 | There is a Lot cast: what else meaneth the shufling of the Cards, and the shakeing of the Dice, which I heare Gamesters call for so earnestly? |
A20769 | These are the particularities vsed by the Fathers to declare what Body they meane: and can there be any more effectuall Speeches then these? |
A20769 | They haue Moses and the Prophets, let them heare them, saith Abraham in the Parable: and S. Paul, Doe yee not heare the Law? |
A20769 | Thirdly and lastly, doth God sometimes enwrap both good and bad in the same punishment? |
A20769 | Thirdly and lastly, seeing the spirituall life is the only happy and truely comfortable life, why study we not aboue all things to liue this life? |
A20769 | This David saw and therefore said, Many say vnto me, who will shew vs any good? |
A20769 | This fitnesse if a Minister altogether want, how can he escape contempt? |
A20769 | This indeed I confesse would bee absurd: but how doe you shew it to be so in this particular? |
A20769 | This many happily would thinke, and many indeed doe thinke to be all one with comming after Christ: for what is it to follow but to come after? |
A20769 | This may minister matter of singular comfort vnto vs. For if it be so, what harme can at any time betide vs? |
A20769 | This the Apostle exhorts vnto, Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisedome, what to doe? |
A20769 | Thou vaine man, art thou infallibly certaine thou shalt not come to iudgement? |
A20769 | To proue our Sacraments to be of greater vertue& efficacy then those of old? |
A20769 | To what end else this vaine ostentation, of wit, eloquence, reading, and all variety of learning? |
A20769 | To what end? |
A20769 | Too much I say, though happily not so much? |
A20769 | Verit as odium, truth begets hatred, according to that of St Paul, Am I therefore become your enimie because I tell you the truth? |
A20769 | Vpon what merit? |
A20769 | Vpon what necessitie I pray? |
A20769 | Vs it concernes only, and nothing more then it: and can wee possibly neglect the learning of it? |
A20769 | Wanted he yet any further Glory? |
A20769 | Was it not to endoctrinate his Church, that we through patience& comfort of the Scripture might haue hope? |
A20769 | Was not wicked Cham preserued in the Arke from that deluge which overwhelmed the whole earth for his good father Noahs sake? |
A20769 | Was the face of this Church also Roman? |
A20769 | Was there not of late a foule bickering betweene the state of Venice and the Pope about the power hee would haue vsurped over them? |
A20769 | We had eaten sower grapes, and his teeth were set on edge, yea but what iustice is this, that Titius shall sinne, and Sempronius be punished? |
A20769 | We say it is no iesting with edgtooles, and all say, non est bonum ludere cum Sanctis: yet what is wicked mens practise else with any Divine thing? |
A20769 | Weaknesse say I? |
A20769 | Wee doubt not many haue, wee are sure they might and may attaine to the same faith, what if I say to iustifying faith too? |
A20769 | Were it so, I demand why questions of right and fact may not bee tryed thereby? |
A20769 | Were not Angels in their primitiue state more noble and excellent then man, and Man againe then the brute creature? |
A20769 | Were not the sinfull Sodomites reskued out of the hands of their enimies by the sword of Abraham for righteous Lots sake? |

A20769 | What dares not sinfull man doe? |
A20769 | What dead? |
A20769 | What doest thou o man, saith he, at the houre of the mysticall table? |
A20769 | What for death, who count it worse then death not to liue as they list, and to bee barred from their desires? |
A20769 | What for shame and ignominy, who are growne impudent in all wickednesse? |
A20769 | What if I should say of a kinde of Omnipotencie? |
A20769 | What in Lazarus when he had beene quatriduanus foure dayes in the graue, and began to putrifie and corrupt? |
A20769 | What is it then he here sues for? |
A20769 | What is it then? |
A20769 | What is that? |
A20769 | What is that? |
A20769 | What is that? |
A20769 | What literally, and with the eye of the body? |
A20769 | What manner? |
A20769 | What marvell then if hating them, and being separated in life and conversation from them, they continually stirre vp persecutions against them? |
A20769 | What meanes he by that? |
A20769 | What more manifest in the Scripture then this that the Crosse is an vnseparable companion of the Church? |

A20769 | What say you now? |
A20769 | What say you then to the Fathers who affirme they were? |
A20769 | What shall I farther say? |
A20769 | What shall I say? |
A20769 | What shall I say? |

A20769 | What things? |
A20769 | What thinke you? |
A20769 | What though this way we can not make so much shew of learning and eloquence? |
A20769 | What tongue or penne almost hath not travailed in this argument? |
A20769 | What waies will you say? |
A20769 | What will he deny who hath already vouchsafed vs the Adoption of Sonnes? |
A20769 | What words can bee more plaine? |
A20769 | What would you conclude out of him? |
A20769 | What, was hee a sinner and deserved such punishment? |
A20769 | What? |

A20769 | What? |
A20769 | What? |
A20769 | What? |
A20769 | What? |
A20769 | What? |
A20769 | What? |
A20769 | What? |
A20769 | What? |
A20769 | What? |
A20769 | When St Paul saith to the Romans, How can they preach except they bee sent, doth not this imply that Preaching is more then bare Reading? |
A20769 | When they proceeded not only to curse one another, but to fire, bloudshed, and banishment also? |
A20769 | When we receaue a letter from our friend, wee are said to heare from him: why not from God also when wee read his letter? |
A20769 | When wee were his enemies he was content to dye for vs: now wee are his friends doth he abate of his loue towards vs? |
A20769 | Whence commeth it then that the Dutch by way of Proverb vse to say, In Lotterie is Boverie, that is to say, couznage and knauerie? |
A20769 | Where you see that the words are not of the future tense shall haue, but of the present hath life: which what other can it be but the life of Grace? |
A20769 | Wherefore of necessity it must bee Bread: and if bread after Consecration, what is become of your new found Transubstantiation? |
A20769 | Wherein I demand what that is wherevnto the article This hath reference? |
A20769 | Wherein then lies the vertue? |
A20769 | Wherein then may we not beleeue sense? |
A20769 | Wherein then? |
A20769 | Wherein then? |
A20769 | Wherevnto I answere, first 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, if wee speake not for our selues, who will? |
A20769 | Whether is the word preached only, or the word read also a meanes of working Faith? |
A20769 | Which being so, how can I handle the question of Freedome of will without naturall Philosophy, whereunto that tearme belongeth? |
A20769 | Which being so, what is it, my bretheren, that so much offendeth and angreth you? |
A20769 | Which how could it be welcome to either of vs? |
A20769 | Who are they? |
A20769 | Who denies it? |
A20769 | Who doubteth of it? |
A20769 | Who ever saw a Minister recover himselfe after his fall by repentance? |
A20769 | Who is that? |
A20769 | Who is that? |
A20769 | Who more mischievous in practise? |
A20769 | Who more pious in shew? |
A20769 | Who then? |
A20769 | Who therevpon takes vpon him to forge new Articles of Faith, and to obtrude them vpon the Church vnder paine of damnation? |
A20769 | Who, saith S. Paul, is sufficient for these things? |
A20769 | Who? |
A20769 | Why I pray you? |
A20769 | Why not? |
A20769 | Why should it, seeing the holy Ghost him selfe is not afraid to vse it? |
A20769 | Why should we then proudly& vainely stand vpon our selues? |
A20769 | Why so? |
A20769 | Why then doe you eat flesh? |
A20769 | Why then doth he charge vs to looke to it that we be not despised? |
A20769 | Why then saiest thou I can not? |
A20769 | Why then? |
A20769 | Why therefore did not S. Paul more plainely expound it? |
A20769 | Why weare you linnen, seeing you may bee otherwise clothed? |
A20769 | Why, who gaue him that commission? |
A20769 | Why? |
A20769 | Why? |
A20769 | Why? |
A20769 | Will you haue all in a word? |
A20769 | Will you haue any more? |
A20769 | Willet remaines, for whom what better advocate then himselfe? |
A20769 | With bloud then? |
A20769 | With whom is he? |
A20769 | With wine? |
A20769 | Would a man preferre a petition to his Prince, without due consideration of all things before hand? |
A20769 | Would that necessarily inferre a Transubstantiation? |
A20769 | Would you yet more plainely see your errour? |
A20769 | Yee Lawyers and aduocates, that are so learned in the Law, even as wise as Serpents, are yee innocent as Doues also? |
A20769 | Yet how many expositions of, this is my Body? |
A20769 | Yet what saith hee? |
A20769 | You beleeue the Articles of Faith? |
A20769 | You will not endure it amongst your selues: and why should you then obtrude it vpon vs? |
A20769 | You will say, how are we to liue vnto Christ? |
A20769 | Your Secular Priests affirme that it was concluded among the Fathers of the Societie( and what Catholike would not beleeue them?) |
A20769 | Your ancient Schoolemen, Thomas, Scotus, Durandus, Occam, and the rest, what almost doth any one of them say, but is straight gainsayed by another? |
A20769 | and I truely avouch it to bee read in S. Luke, Hauing heard these things they were pricked in heart? |
A20769 | and are their prosperities and deliverances to bee imputed vnto them? |
A20769 | and doe you not overthrow all what hitherto you haue said, affirming that we can neither will nor doe, vnlesse by grace we be elevated aboue nature? |
A20769 | and doest thou Vrge our minde vnto the grosse thoughts that beleeued so? |
A20769 | and doest thou attempt with humane thoughts to handle those things which can not bee receiued but only with a pure and exquisite faith? |
A20769 | and for a few fading pleasures to adventure thy selfe vpon endles woe and misery? |
A20769 | and how comes hee to be the mouth of vs all, more then any other of his brethren? |
A20769 | and if theeues, as the Poet speaketh, rise vp at midnight to rob and kill men, vt teipsum serves non expergisceris? |
A20769 | and if wee doe, alas what are wee? |
A20769 | and may not Satan be a worker in his owne art? |
A20769 | and that Preachers also not content to haue spoken by word of mouth vnto their auditory, cause their Sermons to be set forth in print vnto the world? |
A20769 | and therefore who can be this vniversall iudge of the whole world but only hee? |
A20769 | and to what end such a world of bookes, but that by reading them we may attaine to knowledge? |
A20769 | and what honour might you gaine both to Church and Churchmen? |
A20769 | and what is that conclusion whereof this is a reason? |
A20769 | and what vniformity is there like to be if in the publike Liturgy there be not a certaine forme of Praier? |
A20769 | and why not must be? |
A20769 | as appeares by that of Saint Paul alluding herevnto, Else how shall God iudge the world? |
A20769 | as stocks and stones? |
A20769 | because in Scripture all nourishment is called Bread? |
A20769 | did Christ command no more then to come with a book in ones pocket, and to read fairely? |
A20769 | doe we not depend vpon his goodnesse for all whatsoever either wee are or haue? |
A20769 | doth Abraham prescribe vnto God& impose a law vpon him? |
A20769 | doth he not sustaine all? |
A20769 | doth not the very instinct of nature command it vnto all creatures? |
A20769 | for Transubstantiation? |
A20769 | how few are there that shall bee saved? |
A20769 | in meriting for others? |
A20769 | in redeeming mankind? |
A20769 | is a Lot so priuiledged that there is no place for corruption therein? |
A20769 | is it vtterly vnlawfull to pray on a booke? |
A20769 | is not sorcery or divination by Lots a Satanicall invention? |
A20769 | is there all peace in the Romish Church? |
A20769 | is there any vniustice with God? |
A20769 | is there no scruple, no doubting remaining in thee to the contrary? |
A20769 | literally, and in proper signification, so as wee are reduced into one masse or lumpe with him? |
A20769 | meanes he no more then this, goe take a care to read well? |
A20769 | no quarrell, no contention at all? |
A20769 | or are we not baptized with the same baptisme, wherewith Christ and his Apostles were? |
A20769 | perswaded hereof? |
A20769 | should not wee speedily shift vs of our beds to saue and preserue our selues? |
A20769 | speciall and particular then when we pray? |
A20769 | the Ecclesiasticall or Civill, or both? |
A20769 | to renounce his owne will, and to yeeld blind obedience vnto the will and pleasure of another? |
A20769 | was it because he could not? |
A20769 | what Passion? |
A20769 | what necessity I pray? |
A20769 | what? |
A20769 | whence is it then? |
A20769 | who also takes authority vnto him to make lawes equally binding the conscience with Gods lawes,& that without any relation vnto divine law at all? |
A20769 | why are they Ministers then? |
A20769 | why then haue learned and Godly men compiled so many bookes of Prayer to this end? |
A20769 | — Wherefore if it be the same Sermon in number, why may not the same bee affirmed of the same? |
A26951 | & c. Is there life where there is no motion? |
A26951 | ( Nay rather let them take heed lest they omit such prescripts:) Or, is it the disorder or defects that makes them odious? |
A26951 | 2 Remember the continual presence of the most holy dreadful God: And can Pride lift up the head before him? |
A26951 | 2. Who should bring a sinner to Repentance, whose heart is corrupted with the love of sin? |
A26951 | A Juda ● kiss is thought sufficient to prove him a true Christian and Pastor of the Church, though it be but the fruit of what will you give me? |
A26951 | Alas, how dead are our affections? |
A26951 | Alas, how far have I been from living, as one that seeth the things that he professeth to Believe?] |
A26951 | Alas, my Lord, is this dark prospect all that I must here hope for? |
A26951 | Alas, what a deal of sin do we daily see or hear of? |
A26951 | All this is true; but still we find it a thing impossible to love our neighbour equally with our selves: Can you teach us how to do it? |
A26951 | Am I not an Apostle? |
A26951 | And I would further ask you; Do you fear damnation, and Gods wrath, or not? |
A26951 | And O how full, and how near a treasure hath it to go to? |
A26951 | And afterward how incessantly was he doing good to mens bodies and souls? |
A26951 | And among how few is the sin of flesh- pleasing sensuality mortified? |
A26951 | And another came with a[ Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?] |
A26951 | And are his rewards no greater than a mans? |
A26951 | And are not both these suitable to your natural perfection, and necessary to your good? |
A26951 | And are you exempt from the universal Law? |
A26951 | And ask your selves daily, How shall I wish at the day of reckoning, that I had expended and used all my estate? |
A26951 | And can I dream that the vast and glorious Orbs and Regions, are all uninhabited? |
A26951 | And can it be a lover of earth, and fleshly pleasures, and also a Believer and lover of Heaven? |
A26951 | And can that man be wise, that foreseeth not his everlasting state? |
A26951 | And can they be idle, while all this lyeth undone? |
A26951 | And can we think that GOD is not much more to be trusted, and is not a greater hater of a lye? |
A26951 | And can you believe this, and yet be so eager to be humoured, and to have all things fitted to your pleasure and desires? |
A26951 | And do they take the world for vanity and vexation, while they mind and seek it more than Heaven? |
A26951 | And do we not all profess to believe these things, as revealed from Heaven by the infallible God? |
A26951 | And do you neither love your souls, nor your lives? |
A26951 | And do you not believe that it''s he indeed that tempteth you? |
A26951 | And do you not profess to believe all this? |
A26951 | And do you not verily believe that all this will very shortly be? |
A26951 | And do you think God will love you ever the better, for that which is against your wills? |
A26951 | And do you think, and speak, and pray, and live, as those that do indeed believe it? |
A26951 | And doth he indeed pray, and labour, and suffer for Heaven, who would not come thither? |
A26951 | And here the first question shall be, How the Apostles, and all other the first witnesses, knew it themselves? |
A26951 | And how aptly doth the very permission of sin it self, subserve this end? |
A26951 | And how basely is it esteemed new by the most? |
A26951 | And how can that be a duty, which is to nature it self an impossibility? |
A26951 | And how can that be true Repentance, which changeth not the will and life? |
A26951 | And how can you justly expect the benefit of such prayers? |
A26951 | And how can you think of Christ, and not think of his Body? |
A26951 | And how miserable are they who make such a God their revenging Judge and enemy? |
A26951 | And how necessary was it that our Sun in glory should continually send down his beams and influence on the earth? |
A26951 | And how shall a man know his godliness, but by his life as the product of his inward graces? |
A26951 | And how should men justifie Abraham for k ● lling his only Son? |
A26951 | And how small a matter is Justification by man, when we may be saved without it? |
A26951 | And if God be willing, will not you refuse it? |
A26951 | And if the proudest Gallants can, with their hat at your foot, profess themselves your humble servants, why may not Religious Bride go as far? |
A26951 | And is it not as great a demonstration of his knowledge also, and of his goodness? |
A26951 | And is not HYPOCRISIE as visible in their practice, as Christianity in their profession? |
A26951 | And is not a lively foreseeing faith as effectual? |
A26951 | And is not a walk in Heaven with better company, a pleasure desirable in such a case? |
A26951 | And is not that good, which calleth us up to the greatest good, and will not allow us to be such enemies to our selves, as to take up with the lesser? |
A26951 | And is not this a question that you are most nearly concerned in? |
A26951 | And is that state better and more desirable, for which all that perish turn from God, and fell their souls, and are befooled and undone for ever? |
A26951 | And it is very observable, how most of the great changes of the world are made? |
A26951 | And let it be your next question, What spiritual good may be got by this affliction? |
A26951 | And let your next question be[ Have I yet got that good which God doth offer me? |
A26951 | And look up to the heavenly Regions, and think, Is this world so replenished with inhabitants, both Sea, and Land, and Air it self? |
A26951 | And many terrible texts come into the minds of humble souls, that have right to comfort, and should not be more terrified? |
A26951 | And mark what contrary answers the flesh and faith will give to it, when it comes to practice? |
A26951 | And may a believing joyful death be expected, without the preparations of exercise and experience in a believing life? |
A26951 | And must all these trifles be considered in our Faith? |
A26951 | And shall I set my heart on that which is not? |
A26951 | And shall Idleness be excused in us? |
A26951 | And shall we envy men such a happiness as this? |
A26951 | And should any be more careful ● to please you, that are but worms and dust, than you should be to please your Maker? |
A26951 | And should that duty be taken for a burden, which as to my comfort maketh all the wealth, and honour, and Kingdoms of others to be my own? |
A26951 | And should this heavenly fire be imprisoned in the body, which it should command and move? |
A26951 | And some Devils would not be cast out without fasting and prayer: And is luxury fit in such a case? |
A26951 | And that a sadder frame is more awakened, illuminated, fixed, sensible, considerate and fit for great employments? |
A26951 | And that if ye will be friends of the world, you are Gods enemies? |
A26951 | And that you would but take his Word to be as sure as sense? |
A26951 | And the consequents on both parts are intollerable; and how are they to be avoided? |
A26951 | And then have not all a promise of the same degree which the best attain, conditionally if they do as much as they for it? |
A26951 | And then who can expect that their consciences should avoid it? |
A26951 | And what can be more suitable to our miserable state? |
A26951 | And what can be so bad that a man will not do, if he take it once to be of Gods commanding? |
A26951 | And what did he ever command you, which was not for your benefit? |
A26951 | And what he hath declared we may know: But how much more do these men pretend to know, than ever Christ declared? |
A26951 | And what is the world when Heaven stands by? |
A26951 | And what it is that the life of man should be spent in seeeking after? |
A26951 | And what kind of Religious performances are most excellent which we must principally intend? |
A26951 | And what laborious lives did his Apostles live? |
A26951 | And when our pravity is undeniable, how credible should it be, that we have such a Law? |
A26951 | And whether it be not sin it self, which is the first part of all mens hell and misery? |
A26951 | And who can walk safely in the dark? |
A26951 | And why is it not foreseen, when it is foreshewn? |
A26951 | And why should any others be bound to use Justice or Charity to you any more than you to them? |
A26951 | And why should not others good be secured, as well as your posterities? |
A26951 | And why should that be my sorrow, which is his benefit, and should be his joy? |
A26951 | And why so? |
A26951 | And why then doth the believing of it do no more, when the ● h ● ng is certain? |
A26951 | And why then should not the believed truth prevail, if indeed you did believe it, when the thing is as sure, as if you saw it? |
A26951 | And will God reward men for such self- made sufferings? |
A26951 | And will you grudge them this much? |
A26951 | And will you grudge to suffer so small and short a chastisement in the way to an endless rest and joy? |
A26951 | And will you use them to turn your affections from him? |
A26951 | And would you be in the same condition again? |
A26951 | And would you wish us to trifle in the sight of Heaven? |
A26951 | And yet are you Believers, and have none of this? |
A26951 | And yet do you say that you get not your wealth by any thing that is unlawful? |
A26951 | And yet that he be so high and near the Father, as may put a sufficient value on his works, and make him most meet to mediate for us? |
A26951 | And, why doth living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? |
A26951 | Are they not not now your friends who love you better than they could do on earth? |
A26951 | Are they not such as were latety near you in the flesh; some of them your dearest companions and friends; and should you causlesly forget them? |
A26951 | Are they nothing to us? |
A26951 | Are they taught, or untaught? |
A26951 | Are we derided, slandered, abused by the ungodly? |
A26951 | Are you and your party all the world, or all the Church? |
A26951 | Are you frowned on or contemned by men? |
A26951 | Are you more offended and grieved when you are crost and hindered in doing good, or when you are crost and hindered from your personal honour? |
A26951 | Are you only for your present ease? |
A26951 | Are you really more mortified, more penitent, more humble, more heavenly, more obedient, more patient than you were before? |
A26951 | Are you slandered by men? |
A26951 | Are you the better Masters? |
A26951 | Are you truly willing that thus it should be? |
A26951 | Are you wronged, oppressed, or trodden on by pride or malice? |
A26951 | Are your words so much more excellent than the words of others? |
A26951 | As if he should say, have you the Spirit of Christ, or have you not? |
A26951 | As we see it in constant experience in men, when they see that they must presently die indeed, how light then set they by the world? |
A26951 | Ask your selves what you would be found doing if death now surprize you? |

A26951 | But how shall I know what application to make of Scripture to my self, but by the teaching of the Spirit of God? |
A26951 | But how then shall I know when it is the Spirit which putteth any thing into my mind? |
A26951 | But if all be otherwise, alas, where be they, and how few that love their neighbours, or betters, as themselves? |
A26951 | But if he that hath thousands, and is used to fulness, should be reduced to an hundred, how querulous or impatient would he be? |
A26951 | But if it be demanded, How did the next Christians of the second age, receive all this from the first Churches, who received it from the Apostles? |
A26951 | But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we our selves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the Minister of sin? |
A26951 | But if yea, then what is it that they serve you for? |
A26951 | But if yet conscience have not begun to plead this cause against you, let me begin to plead it with your consciences: Are you Believers? |
A26951 | But if you have not such gain to shew, what wonder if you are weary of the medicine which healeth not? |

A26951 | But is not additional grace given by way of reward? |
A26951 | But no necessity will excuse your worldly love and cares: What will the love of the world do towards the supply of your necessities? |
A26951 | But shall not all at last be perfect? |
A26951 | But still the difficulty is, What is the condition to be inserted? |
A26951 | But suppose it were so, must not others be regarded? |
A26951 | But the Lord whom we wait for, will once more come and cleanse his Temple: But who may abide the day of his coming? |

A26951 | But was not labour and toil a curse upon Adam after his sin? |
A26951 | But what if I find by constant experince, that my soul is more worldly after worldly business, and more cold and alienated from God? |

A26951 | But will this excuse you for loving your riches more than God? |
A26951 | But wilt thou know, oh vain man, that faith without works is dead? |
A26951 | But, silly soul, do Physicians use to charm men into health? |
A26951 | By how small, contemptible and unthought of mean ●? |

A26951 | Can you forget that death is ready to undress you? |
A26951 | Can you have a mind full of lust, and of God at once? |
A26951 | Can you not say, I am sure that I am regenerate, justified and adopted? |
A26951 | Can you play, or loiter away your hours, with Eternity in your eye? |
A26951 | Canst thou possibly forget so great, so sure, so near a day? |

A26951 | Could you live at hearts ease, while you know not where you shall be to morrow, or must live for ever? |
A26951 | Dare you go home, and make a jest at piety, and neglect your souls as you have done?] |
A26951 | Dare you think that you are more gracious and merciful than God? |
A26951 | Deal truly, Is it in Heaven or Earth? |
A26951 | Did God ever frame you so glorious a retinuue, to attend you only to sleep, and laugh, and play, and to be idle? |
A26951 | Did it not work more compleatly, and unto more infallibility in their writing the Scriptures, than it doth in our Vnderstanding, and obeying them? |
A26951 | Did they come to Heaven by a worldly, formal, hypocritical, ceremonious Religion? |
A26951 | Did they spend the day in feasting and sports, and idle talk? |
A26951 | Did they swagger it out in pride and wealth,& hate their brethren that were not in all things of their conceits? |
A26951 | Do not many comfortable texts come into the minds of Hypocrites, who are unfit for comfort? |

A26951 | Faith saith, I must shortly be with Christ; and what then are these dying things to me? |
A26951 | For a Lazarus that must be comforted in Abraham''s bosom, to murmure that he waiteth a while in poverty at the rich mans doors? |
A26951 | For if they be good for nothing else but idleness, and beastly pleasures, why should you expect to have them continued? |

A12473 | 1 Impenitencie what? |
A12473 | 1 What it is that we pray for? |
A12473 | 1 Whose will must be done? |
A12473 | 1 Why Christ giues this Direction? |
A12473 | 1 Why the Lord fetcheth vs a Patterne from Heauen, and not rather from good men in this world? |
A12473 | 1 when they were reproued of their sinnes, yet they say, wherein haue wee sinned? |
A12473 | 10 and why? |
A12473 | 12. Who can vnderstand his errors? |
A12473 | 14. saying, I haue neede to be baptized of thee, and commest thou to me? |
A12473 | 14. whose heart the Lord opened; that shee attended the things that were spoken? |
A12473 | 18. the Apostle sayes, Wherefore comfort your selues one another with these words, What words? |

A12473 | 2 The second question is: whether a man is bound vpon his repentance to make restitution of that which is taken away by vniustice? |
A12473 | 2 Vnsound Repentāce, what? |
A12473 | 2 What will of God we must doe? |
A12473 | 2 Why we must pray? |
A12473 | 2. you may reade how faine would hee haue shifted o ● ● that sinne? |
A12473 | 21. our Sauiour speakes, That the Kingdome of God is come already: how then are wee directed to pray for that which is come? |
A12473 | 25. shewes, If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall iudge him; but if a man sinne against the Lord, who shall intreate for him? |
A12473 | 3 By what right? |
A12473 | 3 I but if a man doe repent him of Particular sinnes, whether may hee fall into them againe or not? |
A12473 | 3 In what manner we must doe it? |
A12473 | 3 What be the duties required of them that pray? |

A12473 | And may wee then safely enter vpon the day? |
A12473 | And wherefore all this? |

A12473 | But I appeale to common experience, how hardly we are drawne to this duty? |
A12473 | But alas, what shall I say? |

A12473 | But how shall they call on him in whom they haue not beleeued? |
A12473 | But how shall this be done? |

A12473 | But 〈 ◊ 〉, Where shall we find that man, or that woman, who are thus carefull to search into themselues? |

A10945 | ( for of this nothing hath yet bin said) and doe you affirme a man to be iustified( for such an one is he who is in fauour with God) hauing no faith? |

A10945 | 19.13?) |

A10945 | A man to forgoe that, which he loued best of all, yea better then life it selfe,( for how many lose their liues for their sinfull pleasures?) |
A10945 | Againe, if ye say, why are wee troubled with these nouelties now, more then in times past? |
A10945 | Againe, they say: What should become of mens labour and businesse in the world? |
A10945 | All these when they had but some one disturbance in their life, how did it make all other delights vnpleasant vnto them? |
A10945 | Also why would he haue said it of himselfe, That all the day long he was considering it in his minde, that is to say, meditating on it? |
A10945 | Am I wearie of my peace, and doe I haste after mine owne sorrow? |
A10945 | An exceeding priuiledge is this to them: and therefore who seeth not, that they resting thus perswaded, may be of good comfort? |
A10945 | And Ieremy in like manner affirmeth, that the heart of man is deceitfull and deepe aboue all things: who can gage or search it out? |
A10945 | And againe the greater is he which is in them, namely the spirit of god, then he that is in the world, that is the diuill? |
A10945 | And againe, If thou, O Lord, shouldest looke streightlie what is done amisse, who should be able to abide it? |
A10945 | And although the burthen that he laieth vpon vs is great, yet are not our incouragements for that purpose exceeding great also? |
A10945 | And are not these( thinke we) priuiledges farre aboue their expectation, and greater then they could looke for? |
A10945 | And as for other than it, what may better be spared than they? |
A10945 | And as for the deceiptfulnesse of sinne, who is wise inough to discerne it in many things? |
A10945 | And as it is written: Who would haue said, that Sarah should giue sucke? |
A10945 | And both these being well considered, how many companies shall be found, where one is not the worse for another? |
A10945 | And can it be any lesse then our great sinne, to haue our hearts going after straunge delights, which shall shoulder out this which is the greatest? |
A10945 | And can this preparation be any lesse then a great helpe to all, which shall inioy it? |
A10945 | And do not many by the like occasion fall and offend daungerously? |
A10945 | And do they not cease trying their state, till they can proue it to be good indeed? |
A10945 | And do we not declare thereby, that either we be growne dull, slouthfull: forgetfull, or that we thinke, that the Lord hath ceassed to be mercifull? |
A10945 | And experience also teacheth, that these things are euen so? |
A10945 | And hath he not sayd, that the weapons of our warfare are mighty, casting downe strong holds, which seemed impossible to be cast downe? |
A10945 | And haue the godly, whom ye shoale out of others, no faults, but are they without infirmities? |
A10945 | And haue they wisely auoided the occasions of such mischiefe and danger at such times, as they vsuallie were wo nt? |
A10945 | And if God who is rich in all good things and hath all power in his hands, be their shepheard, what can they want? |
A10945 | And if it be so with them, iudge what is the estate of the hypocrite, and prophane sort? |
A10945 | And if it trouble any at the hearing of this, asking, what shall the weake doe, who can not doe thus? |
A10945 | And if men commit such faultes, doe they not( thinke we) repent afterwards? |
A10945 | And if they find it so great in heauen, can the taste thereof choose but be sweet and great which we haue heere on earth? |
A10945 | And if they should perswade themselues, that their sinnes are not so great: what is more ridiculous? |
A10945 | And if this complaint may iustly be made where the Gospell is purely and plainely preached( as who doth not see that it may?) |
A10945 | And if we loue him, how can we grieue him, in withholding that from him,( as was said before) which is deare vnto him? |
A10945 | And is any thing more to be desired then the chaunging of this course? |
A10945 | And is any time ordinarily and for the most part fitter for that businesse, then whē we haue ended the day? |
A10945 | And is it any maruell? |
A10945 | And is it any meruaile? |
A10945 | And is it not lamentable to see, that any should take such a course? |
A10945 | And is not this sufficient and enough for all men which are the Lords? |
A10945 | And is that now at the first made our direction? |
A10945 | And is there any man which reioiceth in the name of a Christian, who would haue his libertie in these euils? |
A10945 | And is there not great reason in it, forasmuch as they haue most disquieted them, that they should bend the most force of their strength against them? |
A10945 | And may not many of these offenders notwithstanding their faultes, be the children of God? |
A10945 | And of Iob, how cleerely doth the holy Ghost witnes this, whereof I speake? |
A10945 | And of all other sinnes, to be most suspicious and fearefull of those, to the which they know that they are most prone and inclined? |
A10945 | And therefore where this sound and plaine teaching is wanting, how much more must the people needes be out of frame? |
A10945 | And therefore who seeth not cause sufficient, that our affections of first loue should continue? |
A10945 | And they who go not so farre from sound iudgemēt, are they not yet much appalled? |
A10945 | And this all will graunt, that Gods word must be our guide: in generall tearmes this will be affirmed of the most, but what is this which they say? |
A10945 | And was it not thus with that deare seruant of God, whom the Scripture commendeth by this title, that he was a man according to Gods minde? |
A10945 | And were the abandoning of these, the leauings of mens callings and disobedience to prince? |
A10945 | And what a benefit is this? |
A10945 | And what a point of madnesse were that? |
A10945 | And what account is to be made of such reioycings with wife and other friends, which must bee repented? |
A10945 | And what are the troubles of the world, if these be not? |
A10945 | And what can they lesse do then this, if they do but consider, that of them most shall be required who haue receiued most*? |
A10945 | And what comfort may be conceiued by the beleeuing, considering and applying of all these unto the faithfull heart? |
A10945 | And what complaints are occasioned heereby, but by such as being called from their sinnes are not to be pitied? |
A10945 | And what day cometh ouer our heads, wherein God giueth vs not encouragement hereunto? |
A10945 | And what doe we offend then, who doe so? |
A10945 | And what is happinesse( such I meane as in this present life may be inioied) if this be not; namely, to partake all these with him? |
A10945 | And what is like vnto such libertie, that in a reuerent sort we may be admitted to speake vnto the Lord, and to haue him make aunswer to vs againe? |
A10945 | And what is such a life, but a combat and conflict? |
A10945 | And what is the cause of this? |
A10945 | And what maruaile should this be to any, who are trained vp in the Lords house? |
A10945 | And what maruaile? |
A10945 | And what maruell though it was thus with them? |
A10945 | And what meaning else hath this Scripture? |
A10945 | And what one among all the Saints of God hath not prooued and found this true, if we marke and consider their words and their liues? |
A10945 | And what other thing in substance, hath been spoken by me in the description of a godly life? |
A10945 | And what other thing is contained in the words of the Prophet? |
A10945 | And what shall we say further? |
A10945 | And what should I say more? |
A10945 | And what should I say more? |
A10945 | And what should I say more? |
A10945 | And what should I say more? |
A10945 | And what trafficke and merchandize is hindered by the reforming of such disorders and abuses? |
A10945 | And what vnquietnesse doth it raise in vs, when we refuse and impatiently cast off the Lords yoke? |
A10945 | And what( thinke we) doth he meane in another place, when not speaking particularly of himselfe, but generally of all which are the Lords, he saith? |
A10945 | And whiles he bringeth them to this point, doth he not greatly deface the beautie of a godly life in them? |
A10945 | And who can deny, but that it is a great priuiledge when we obtaine deliuerance thus? |
A10945 | And who can say otherwise, but that it were a little heauen, to deale with, and liue among such? |
A10945 | And who denieth but that in such a case, if they refuse to stand vpon their watch, they may become like other men? |
A10945 | And who doth not know, that these both should bee daily? |
A10945 | And who doth not see it to be so? |
A10945 | And who doth not see, that this should be so? |
A10945 | And who doubteth, but that it must needs be so? |
A10945 | And who doubteth, but that it was the estate of the people of Israel, and of many generations of them? |
A10945 | And who sees not now, by that which hath been said, that a good heart may be able to meditate? |
A10945 | And who would bee willing to haue his life filled with many feares, disquiets, reproches, and such other crossings, when he might be free and merrie? |
A10945 | And why are they not but euen halfe so feruent in going about reading, praying and other heauenly seruing of God, when they haue time and leisure? |
A10945 | And why hath he giuen a good end of their former chastisements when they penitently desire it? |
A10945 | And why should not mens hearts be daily giuen to the Lord, who is most worthie of them? |
A10945 | And why will God deale thus with them? |
A10945 | And yet they who shall say to vs for thus doing: What is thy welbeloued more then another welbeloued? |
A10945 | And yet what doe they in all this, more then they ought? |
A10945 | And: Whosoeuer shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saued: for, how can we call vpon him, on whom we haue not beleeued? |
A10945 | Are all such damned? |
A10945 | Are not these loathsome guestes to lodge in the hearts of Christians? |
A10945 | Are not these troubles? |
A10945 | Are they not written for our instruction and edifying? |
A10945 | Are they themselues so vnblameable in their whole course, that others may not see as great wants and faults in them, as they see in seruants? |
A10945 | Are they therefore giuen ouer of the Lord to lie and abide in them, and being washed to wallow againe in the mire? |
A10945 | Are they therefore like to the sundrie sorts of the former wicked ones, of whom I spake before? |
A10945 | As Dauid did often, sometime one way, and sometime another: Why art thou heauie, O my soule, and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
A10945 | As for other hope, who knoweth not, that all other hope of earthly peace, or long life, is like to a broken tooth, and sliding foote? |
A10945 | BVt me thinkes I heare some obiecting thus: what? |
A10945 | BVt what then? |
A10945 | Besides, what is his life( euen at the best) when hee hath no trust in Gods manifold promises? |
A10945 | But alas( some man will say) what doe ye naming of them, as things any thing worth? |
A10945 | But alas, how rare a thing is this to finde either in the one or in the other? |
A10945 | But alas, how sleightly is the Apostles admonition regarded of a number euen in the ministerie? |
A10945 | But behold further, what goeth with it? |
A10945 | But by what signe doe they proue it, and by what reason can they perswade it? |
A10945 | But doe common professors thus, or worldlings? |
A10945 | But haue they afterwards in like haste and with ease returned againe? |
A10945 | But if it be according to knowledge, who forbiddeth it? |
A10945 | But if it be asked: Why hath he giuen them to one and not to another? |
A10945 | But it may bee demaunded, doe God seruants alwaies preuaile in striuing against euill? |
A10945 | But now to conclude, ye will aske, what remedies are to be vsed against such sore assaults? |
A10945 | But that it is so, who can denie? |
A10945 | But we haue not this grace( ye will say) and therefore what is it to vs? |
A10945 | But what do they then? |
A10945 | But what doth that auaile them? |
A10945 | But what euidence or proofe haue they of it? |
A10945 | But what hath he( you will aske) of his owne, to purchase or come into the possession of it? |
A10945 | But what is fitter then this, when we ioyne daily together in such holy manner against it, euen there where the faults are committed? |
A10945 | But what is the cause that they going so farre before many other, who are professors also, can not be brought to goe beyond them in this as well? |
A10945 | But what may then be looked for of such vpon other dayes? |
A10945 | But what then? |
A10945 | But what then? |
A10945 | But what then? |
A10945 | But where( then) is the daunger in this kind of trafficke? |
A10945 | But why speake I this? |
A10945 | But will any call this, wholesome and Godly sorrow which bringeth repentance? |
A10945 | But ye will obiect, why doth the Apostle will vs to put it on, if we haue it alreadie? |
A10945 | But you wil say: What is this to proue, that he was thus minded through the day? |
A10945 | Can these or any thing that man doth, be accepted without faith? |
A10945 | Can we for all that denie, that we ought to be employed with all possible care therein? |
A10945 | Did our Sauiour teach his disciples& the beleeuers of his time, to make no other profit of the troubles, which they should meet with in the world? |
A10945 | Do not some of them feare, that they are departed from God vtterly, no more to returne, though this( I say) should not be? |
A10945 | Doth it not cause him to say against them all, how can I that am dead to sinne, liue any longer in it? |
A10945 | Euen as the psalmist saith, what greater pleasure would we wish, or better thing desire? |
A10945 | Euen so, what vse doe such make of the Lords Supper? |
A10945 | Fanne your selues, fanne your selues, O nation not worthie to be loued? |
A10945 | For doth a man go out of the way, and not returne againe? |
A10945 | For he that hath giuen vs Christ, by whom we haue the former, how shall he not with him giue vs other things also? |
A10945 | For he that made me in the wombe, hath he not made him? |
A10945 | For he that will wound and trouble his conscience for a litle commoditie, will he not much easilier do it for a greater? |
A10945 | For how can others be drawne by their examples, when they see them not to hold out the profession of their hope with ioyfulnesse as they were wo nt? |
A10945 | For how can they loath one sinne, and loue another? |
A10945 | For if earthly fathers be kind to their childrē crying to thē, how much more the father of fathers? |
A10945 | For if he haue not faith, to beleeue that God will strengthen him; what strength hath hee but his owne? |
A10945 | For if the diseased person be much cheared by Phisicke bodily, what maruell though spirituall comfort worke vpon the soule mightily? |
A10945 | For is the reading it selfe vnpure, when the minister in his owne behalfe and the peoples, vttereth them to God? |
A10945 | For is there not( thinke we) a great difference betwixt a daily, and a seldome or vncertaine view of our estate? |
A10945 | For it wil be demaunded of me: What profit may we reape by the examples before alleadged? |
A10945 | For otherwise, how could they properly be called priuiledges, if they were a like precious to good and to bad? |
A10945 | For this doth he often ring in their eares: How can it be, that he loueth you, and yet afflicteth you thus? |
A10945 | For though all see it not, neither consider it, what then? |
A10945 | For to speake, as the truth is, what a life doe the vnbeleeuers of the world leade, who will not learne what this life of faith meaneth? |
A10945 | For what day do we not, or may we not, make our hearts merrie with the Lords fauour freely graunted vs, and his louing countenance shining vpon vs? |
A10945 | For what doth more easily grieue the holy spirit of God, and quench it in vs, then that whatsoeuer chaseth away godlines? |
A10945 | For what haue they lost( to speake of the best) who doe so, but that which may be spared aswell, as the paring of their nayles? |
A10945 | For what is that which they mislike heerein? |
A10945 | For what substance of godlines is there in such a life, that it should be a seruing of God aright, and as it is behoofull? |
A10945 | For what will we not be readie to doe, for such a one as hath but once saued our liues from death? |
A10945 | For when they heare the name of direction( though they who read the whole, may easily see what I meane thereby) they demaund thus: What? |
A10945 | For where are they( say these Obiecters) which haue so much grace appearing in them aboue other men? |
A10945 | For wherefore doth the godly Christian take order to haue his recourse to God by praier, meditation, reading, when he can haue opportunitie? |
A10945 | For wherein can he shew his malice more fully, or verifie the Scripture more clearely, which saith: That he is enuious man? |
A10945 | For who doth not know, that as the heart is affected either well or ill: euen so it draweth the wordes and workes after it, to be like and sutable? |
A10945 | For who is merrier or more secure, than he that hath most sinne in his heart to witnes against him? |
A10945 | For who will aduenture to goe barefooted among thornes and stubbes, yea to runne vpon the pikes, but hee will be well shod? |
A10945 | For who would looke for any other then loathsome life in the greatest number, as it hath alwaies been? |
A10945 | For whom haue I in heauen( ô Lord) but thee? |
A10945 | For why should it not be with the Lords plants in his orchard, as it is in an husbandmans? |
A10945 | For why? |
A10945 | For why? |
A10945 | For( to speake of the actions of the minde) what are his cogitations about heauenly matters, but errors, falsehood and Iyes? |
A10945 | From whence I say is this, but from hence, that they will put no diligence thereunto, to obserue their waies in which they prosper, and contrariwise? |
A10945 | Hath it been, while and when they haue held on in their course of Christian dutie? |
A10945 | Haue they been violentlie carried from the platforme and direction of a godlie life, whether they would or no, as not knowing what they did? |
A10945 | Haue they feare before the sinne committed, least they should fall into it? |
A10945 | He will insult ouer vs in such extremities, as he spared not to do to our Sauiour himselfe: Where is now your God? |
A10945 | How doe they please themselues, and imagine that others doe admire them for the same? |
A10945 | How doth it make vs acquainted with the manifold rebellions of our nature? |
A10945 | How doth this estraunging of our selues from worldly impediments, drawe vs into neare and heauenly communion with our God? |
A10945 | How had that wicked Haman by malice and subtiltie obtained of the king, commission to take their goods and put them to death? |
A10945 | How is his heart made drunken with the fleshly reioycing in his wealth and welfare? |
A10945 | How is it sought by many with teares, and yet of few obtained? |
A10945 | How many esteeme of them, who labour to make them happie and to liue for euer? |
A10945 | How many of the people also may I speake of, who verifie that saying of Christ: Iohn was a burning light, and for a season ye delighted in him? |
A10945 | How many waies shall hee be carried to sinne against God, and his neighbour? |
A10945 | How shall we serue God all day long? |
A10945 | I answere: were they warie, but as they haue been vsuallie, in which times they were preserued from such reprochfull falles? |
A10945 | I giue herein a taste of the rest of their qualities of like sort: Is this behauiour seeming Christians? |
A10945 | I meane Christian Princes, and gouernours? |
A10945 | I say, when they see their reckoning, and day of accounts is neere, then what doe they? |
A10945 | I waited and looked, and there was no man that said: What haue I done? |
A10945 | If a chiefe and maine post in a building be wanting, will not the whole house bee soone shaken? |
A10945 | If he speake thus of riches, what( thinke we) is his iudgement of them which with riches haue many other kinds of blessings? |
A10945 | If it be further demanded: Where are such as inioy this prerogatiue in their liues? |
A10945 | If it be granted them, they aske how they shall doe both? |
A10945 | If the Lord will iustifie and cleare vs, who shall condemne vs? |
A10945 | If the godly be his precious treasure, how can they but be delighted in of him, safely kept also, and preserued from all that might annoy them? |
A10945 | If the soule be now sicke, and tasteth not the sweete meates of consolation, which it was wo nt, was it therefore alwaies so? |
A10945 | If then such an heart be the guide of our life, how monstrous, and loathsome must that life needes be? |
A10945 | If thou saist, why is this then so strange to men? |
A10945 | If we haue receiued prosperitie from the Lord, why should we not suffer aduersitie?) |
A10945 | In such( as I haue said) is the Lord made admirable: As it is written: In Sion( his Church) shall God be praised: and why? |
A10945 | In this hunger therfore and thirst of his, after pardon, how welcome think we shall good tidings be now vnto him? |
A10945 | In which cases, how can it otherwise be, but that they be tossed, as the chaffe with the winde? |
A10945 | Is he not by the fresh remembrance of it, incouraged against temptations, wearines of doing his dutie, and such other hinderances? |
A10945 | Is not then the Sacrament a continuall spurrer forward of him to performe his couenant? |
A10945 | Is that il in vs, which was good in them? |
A10945 | Is there with him yea and nay, with whom there is no shadow of chaunge? |
A10945 | Last of all, when haue they fallen dangerouslie, who had so well begun? |
A10945 | Lord, what wilt thou haue me to doe? |
A10945 | Many at their death hold that they ought to be godly: but is it not good at one time, which is at another? |
A10945 | Must it not then needes be a filthie sinkehole, out of which so vnsauorie stinkes doe arise? |
A10945 | Must we thus prepare our selues to receiue faith? |
A10945 | Nay, how can they choose but be more backward in religion and discouraged by the same? |
A10945 | Neither let any aske how he can thus deceiue and bewitch vs? |
A10945 | Neither obiect here, that a man can not be at all times watchfull: and the wisest shall or may bee sometimes ouercome? |
A10945 | Now for proofe of it, that God alloweth them to know it, what is more manifest than this which is written by Saint Iohn? |
A10945 | Now if in this one meanes, so great helpe may be gotten, what may bee thought, when this and others go together? |
A10945 | Now of all these how truly are the Apostles words verified, the Gospell being hidden from them? |
A10945 | Now particularly I will set downe some of the chiefe( for who can mention all?) |
A10945 | Now therefore, if some one part of this heauenly attire and armour be so helpfull, and of so great vse, what thinke wee the whole to be? |
A10945 | Now what true Christian is there, who, if he beleeue this, is not encouraged to do his businesse readily and willingly? |
A10945 | Now what would such do, if they had any iust cause giuen them to open their mouthes? |
A10945 | Now when a man is thus carried of his intemperate affections, and bringeth foorth the loathsome fruite thereof, what comfort can his life affoord him? |
A10945 | Now when we see the fruite of this well seasoning and keeping of our hearts, in frame, what should be in more account with vs? |
A10945 | Now whereas it may be obiected, who, or where is the man, which findeth this libertie in his life? |
A10945 | O ye fooles, how long will ye loue foolishnes? |
A10945 | Oh but they are afraide, least they should presume? |
A10945 | Oh, what liberty may such haue, as look faithfully to this? |
A10945 | Oh, what pleasure is it to him to thinke of that which he hath? |
A10945 | Oh, who can reckon vp the infinit and maruellous commodities that come of prayer, if it be accompanied of the forementioned properties? |
A10945 | Or doth he bestow more on some then vpon others, that they who haue much should set on edge the teeth of others by licentiousnesse? |
A10945 | Or els, do we thinke that they should lie by vs vnknowen, and we not to meddle with them? |
A10945 | Or is that any iust cause of discouragement to vs, to take paine for so great profit, when we are sure of it before we goe about it? |
A10945 | Others obiect thus: Are there so many commodities in the christian life? |
A10945 | Others so vntrustie, and so hollow, that they can not be dealt with, as Gehazi? |
A10945 | Ought they not therefore to be more holy, and beware of the least occasions of emboldening them to sinne? |
A10945 | Pleasure and ioy how is it sought after? |
A10945 | Shall the will of God be of no effect, because of the ignorance of men? |
A10945 | So the Psalmist saith: What doest thou taking my word in thy mouth, either in thanks, prayer, or speaking of it, and hatest to be reformed by it? |
A10945 | The dangers of Gods people vnder the gouernment of king Ahashuerosh, who knoweth not? |
A10945 | Therefore how truly may this bee said, that the Christian life, without the armour of God, can not be continued? |
A10945 | These and such like, whiles they are secretly brought vpon the people of God, do they not( thinke we) manifestly proue that Sathan hath beguiled them? |
A10945 | They can doe any thing but that: and why so? |
A10945 | This experience if we haue( as who may not haue it in many afflictions, if he haue rested vpon God therein?) |
A10945 | To our shame, I say, because what shame almost can be greater, then first to take that in the euill part, which was neuer so meant? |
A10945 | To what end( I say) are such Scriptures and many other of like sort? |
A10945 | To which kind of people,& to their like obiecting thus& demanding: What? |
A10945 | True it is, he is not setled herein to his contentation: and who marueileth at it? |
A10945 | What a sea of euils is there in this kind? |
A10945 | What anger, which can not bee appeased? |
A10945 | What are they in respect of that which they do pretend? |
A10945 | What did I say? |
A10945 | What hath he then( ye say) to procure it? |
A10945 | What haue I said concerning this priuilege, which the Apostle hath not fully conteined in these words? |
A10945 | What is heere commended in them, but that which these mislike and speake against at this day in vs, who labor for some measure of it? |
A10945 | What is to be done then of vs, but this: namely, That we looke to the roote and fountaine of this mischiefe? |
A10945 | What little care is there that none be hurt by them, but a churlish senselesnes, of it, if it be so, rather then pitie and compassion in steede of it? |
A10945 | What madnesse is it, that we should depriue our selues of the best things, and yet contented to abide so still? |
A10945 | What meant the Lord Iesus else, to charge vs to watch& pray, to heare and read? |
A10945 | What reckoning is to be made of their religion? |
A10945 | What repining is there in all sorts to see others get that which they themselues can not come by? |
A10945 | What shall I giue vnto the Lord for all his mercies? |
A10945 | What shall I render to the Lord for all his mercies? |
A10945 | What shall this man doe? |
A10945 | What should I say more? |
A10945 | What should I say of their priding in their wit, wealth, beautie, strength, wisdome, and other gifts? |
A10945 | What then doe I say? |
A10945 | What then? |
A10945 | What varietie of vncleane wishes and desires doe occupie them? |
A10945 | What was Iosua before he was chosen in the roome of Moses his master, to be gouernor of such a mighty people? |
A10945 | What was there in Salomon to discharge so great a prouince as he entred vpon in his father Dauids stead? |
A10945 | What wise man will not prouide carefully against these and such like annoyances? |
A10945 | What( I say) is like this precious remedie, to keepe vs in safetie euery day? |
A10945 | What? |
A10945 | What? |
A10945 | When he told them, that few should so like of the Christian way, that they would walke in it, did he giue them leaue to stay their course also? |
A10945 | Where are the manifold and comfortable priuiledges, which hee hath giuen me, that I might bee faithfull to him? |
A10945 | Where is his testimonie, that his heart is a good treasurie, and nurserie of good things? |
A10945 | Where is that ancient reuerence which younger men in the Ministerie haue giuen to those who haue gone before them in labours, gifts, and good example? |
A10945 | Which if it be so, why should we haue such differences of men? |
A10945 | Which what differeth it from that in the Prouerbes: Keepe thine heart with all diligence, for from thence commeth life? |
A10945 | Which, what other thing was it, then to consider and deliberate what he were best to doe? |
A10945 | Who can blame him, who desireth to pray with better then they be? |
A10945 | Who goeth foorth naked and vnarmed vnto the battell, where so many kinds of weapons are readie to take away his life? |
A10945 | Who seeth not now, that such are further set backe who thinke to be most forward, by separating Christian duties from their earthly businesse? |
A10945 | Who seeth not that he holdeth these in errour and bondage, as grossely as he doth the other before mentioned? |
A10945 | Why art thou cast downe and disquieted within me? |
A10945 | Why should not our workes be more at the last, then at the first; as our knowledge is more, and our experience greater? |
A10945 | Will they measure themselues by that which they presently feele, when the soule hath lost her taste? |
A10945 | With what ioy( may it be thought) did Dauid performe the duties of religion after his hainous sinne in the matter of Bethshabe and Vriah? |
A10945 | Yea rather, are we not iustly to be charged that we are couenant- breakers, or haue( as adulteresses) broken our faith to our first husband? |
A10945 | also, to heale the sicke and to binde vp the broken,& c? |
A10945 | and Christ telleth his, that in the world they shall finde tribulation, and that by many afflictions and persecutions we must enter into his kingdom? |
A10945 | and a sowing in teares, that is to say, full of griefe? |
A10945 | and again: Seeke and ye shall find? |
A10945 | and again: That there shall be enmitie betwixt the seed of the woman and the Serpent, and that he should treade vpon his heele? |
A10945 | and againe: What shall I render vnto thee for all thy kindnesse, which hath no end nor measure? |
A10945 | and also an other generation after them, whom Samuel, after long straying from God, brought home? |
A10945 | and also because wee haue consecrated our hearts to the Lords vse, to bee taken vp in the delighting in those things which please him? |
A10945 | and also to whome he saith: I came not to breake the bruised reede, nor to quench the smoking flaxe? |
A10945 | and are not these for all that, the delights of infinite people? |
A10945 | and being so deare vnto him, how will he suffer them to want any thing that is good? |
A10945 | and by the armour of a Christian they shall stand fast against all infernall subtilty? |
A10945 | and by the committing whereof, they are sure, that their shame and sorrow must needes be greatest? |
A10945 | and comely ornaments also,& beautifull to adorne and set out their liues? |
A10945 | and doe not their liues gather vp the common sinnes of the time, as holy as they be? |
A10945 | and doe they not lie in them also for a season, as well as they who are not thought so holy? |
A10945 | and doth not the same bring ill report with them also? |
A10945 | and for that we were either vnskilfull and vnexpert, or slouthfull and slacke in vsing it? |
A10945 | and from so thinking of it, to proceede to rash iudgement accordingly? |
A10945 | and greatest part therein? |
A10945 | and haue not they, who haue most profited in godlines attained vnto it hereby? |
A10945 | and he that will hazard it for a pound, will he not do as much for an hundred? |
A10945 | and he that will ieopard his saluation for a penny, will he not much more do it for a pound? |
A10945 | and herein to be equall to the best louers of the Gospell? |
A10945 | and how doe men resolue that they will be rich, though the Apostle to Timothie doth shew them the danger of that purpose? |
A10945 | and if this be in their new birth, and regeneration at their first comming to God, how much more( thinke we) shall it be in their life afterward? |
A10945 | and if to the flesh, that of it we shall reape corruption? |
A10945 | and in another place: why would he reprooue Israell for not seruing him in ioyfulnesse and gladnesse? |
A10945 | and in full purpose of heart to labour to be reformed from day to day more and more? |
A10945 | and in that one houre to lay a foundation of sorrow for many yeeres after? |
A10945 | and is it not our gaine and benefit, if we doe so? |
A10945 | and must not that hope( thinke we) be sure and certaine, though in him so weak as yet, that they can not professe it? |
A10945 | and namely at Bochim, when they repented by the message of the angell? |
A10945 | and namely that one time, when he went into Iudea to raise Lazarus from death? |
A10945 | and obtaine that which they seeke thereby? |
A10945 | and of some of the Churches in the Reuelation; as namely, the church of Ephesus? |
A10945 | and pitie them, as much as in him shold lye? |
A10945 | and shall we then adde sorrow to sorrow vpon such, as wee our selues are? |
A10945 | and that God will be reuenged vpon their wickednes, though for a while they beare al out boldly, as Saul did? |
A10945 | and that he will lay no more vpon his, then he will make them able to beare? |
A10945 | and that if they resist the diuell, he shall flie from them? |
A10945 | and that the barren should be fruitfull? |
A10945 | and that they can not promise themselues continuance in one estate till the next morning? |
A10945 | and that they had been carefull to keepe themselues within compasse, as some other of their brethren doe? |
A10945 | and that they might safely and boldly promise vnto themselues, greater proofe of his assistance and fatherly kindnes towards them? |
A10945 | and to what other end tendeth this direction, which I am now occupied about? |
A10945 | and vntill they finde rest to their soules that can not deceiue them? |
A10945 | and what holding backe is there, least they should doe too much? |
A10945 | and what is more vnlike it, then the liues of men? |
A10945 | and when it may well bee done, to passe ouer their offence and burie it? |
A10945 | and when we haue done all, yet we doubt, God will not graunt vs our request? |
A10945 | and when we shall inioy the pleasures of his house in fulnes for euer? |
A10945 | and who is he on earth, whom I desire in comparison of thee? |
A10945 | and whom doe I desire on earth in comparison of thee? |
A10945 | and whose heart should not be ioyfull to go about the Lords worke, whereby tediousnesse, vnquietnesse and manifold vnsetlings are remoued? |
A10945 | and why not? |
A10945 | and why should not that be with greatest delight wrought on, and looked after? |
A10945 | and will say, this doubt is not yet answered, neither can ye tell what he meaneth by that, when he speaketh thus, Put on the whole armour? |
A10945 | and with Paule, when he was smitten downe at the gates of Damascus: Lord, what wilt thou haue me to doe? |
A10945 | are all damned, and out of the estate of grace, which commit any of these sinnes? |
A10945 | are they reprobates? |
A10945 | are they so pure, that they liue not as other men? |
A10945 | are we therefore to faint? |
A10945 | better? |
A10945 | betwixt a particular obseruing our waies, and a generall course in Christianitie? |
A10945 | but be deliuered from euill? |
A10945 | but in vnsauourie lightnes, and so be deceiued: or in care and sorrow, and so bee disquieted? |
A10945 | but like brute beasts, and wilde Irish, to passe their time, or to iumpe with the world, and so to be like others? |
A10945 | by more weightie occasions? |
A10945 | cease from thy wisedome: why dost thou cast thine eyes vpon them? |
A10945 | did he foretell them, that they should find, tribulation in the world, to the end they should be discouraged? |
A10945 | do these whom you commend so highlie for their good gouernment and temperance in the vse of lawfull things, alwaies keepe one and the same course? |
A10945 | doe they not prooue, that they sinned against their knowledge dangerously, though they would not see it then? |
A10945 | doe they not see the slippery and vncertaine condition of all things heere below? |
A10945 | especially, he dealing by ordinary meanes, where they may be had and come by? |
A10945 | for in saying that we must take heede to our wayes, that is, our course of life and the actions thereof, doth he except any one more then another? |
A10945 | for otherwise( say some) what discomfort and dismaiednes will come thereby? |
A10945 | for who can say lesse of it? |
A10945 | hath he not promised them his spirit the comforter, which the world can not haue, that they might not be here as Orphanes and desolate? |
A10945 | hath he not sayd, that if they watch and pray, they shall not fall into temptation? |
A10945 | hath he not taught vs that he is greater which is in vs, then he that is in the world? |
A10945 | hath not the young child, and tender plant their season to grow vp in? |
A10945 | haue they no grace, because they want that which they would haue? |
A10945 | how are they inflamed through euery obiect, of such persons as please their eye, and so are caught and deceiued with that which is pretious in them? |
A10945 | how can they be moued to stirre vp that weake faith which they haue? |
A10945 | how many waies, and that all the yeere through, are mens heads occupied about this, how they may by some new deceit, winde somewhat from others? |
A10945 | how shall I entreate thee? |
A10945 | how shall I escape this fearefull vengeance? |
A10945 | how should it go forward? |
A10945 | how sweete is thy loue, and thy kindnes past finding out? |
A10945 | if he be with them( as he is) who can be against them? |
A10945 | if he honour them, whose disgracing of them can hurt them? |
A10945 | is there any other direction, then the word of God? |
A10945 | libertie? |
A10945 | must we be alwaies pent in, to looke to our waies? |
A10945 | or doe I goe about to deface and make both odious? |
A10945 | or goe out of the way and not returne? |
A10945 | or how they were brought to it? |
A10945 | or if not so, do ye then say that we our selues must thus prepare our selues to receiue faith? |
A10945 | or if they be not, do they inquire what be? |
A10945 | or repine, that they may more easily go on to eternall life, by such helpes as God giueth them? |
A10945 | or shall we ayme vnto no further perfection then we list? |
A10945 | or were in as good reckoning with the one, as with the other? |
A10945 | or what arming of a man is able to set him in safetie from the manifold euils, which most men complaine of daily? |
A10945 | or what doth so set open the dore to all confusion? |
A10945 | or what great cause of complaining is this? |
A10945 | or what shall a man giue for recompence of his soule? |
A10945 | or whom do I desire on earth in comparison of thee? |
A10945 | or, where is it? |
A10945 | seeing he beleeueth, that strength in measure shall be giuen him of God, to performe that which he hath promised and sealed? |
A10945 | so when rules for praying are giuen, are they not to direct vs in all our prayers for euer? |
A10945 | so who would say, that they which had in a manner nothing, should abound in many graces? |
A10945 | that as he was inexpert in the word of righteousnesse when he was a babe: so after experience he may be stablished? |
A10945 | that is to say, that their good beginnings haue bene turned into vnlike, euen daungerous proceedings? |
A10945 | that is to say, who will prooue himselfe to bee such an one indeede, as hee will seeme to be, by word and shew? |
A10945 | that their learning and great knowledge is nothing? |
A10945 | that they should bestow all their prayers, confession of sinnes, and hearing of sermons in vaine? |
A10945 | the Lord is my saluation and light, whom then should I feare? |
A10945 | the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom then shall I be afraid? |
A10945 | thus to goe in and out before the Lord, and to haue him thus the staffe of our comfort in al estates? |
A10945 | what deadly hatred one against another? |
A10945 | what earnest and bitter seeking of reuenge; and yet they goe not once to their heart to take shame for them? |
A10945 | what haue we to doe in the day more necessarie, as it shall appeare one day to all, who now will take no knowledge of it? |
A10945 | what is become of their constancie in watchfulnesse, and holy care? |
A10945 | what rasing out of their faith is there hereby procured? |
A10945 | what shall I doe vnto thee, which I haue not done? |
A10945 | what shall I doe? |
A10945 | what sinne doe they commit in all kindes of their dealings, to the end they may bring that to passe which they would haue? |
A10945 | what vnsatiable desire is there of other mens goods? |
A10945 | what were we the better? |
A10945 | what wishing is there that there were none such, which is all one as to make sure worke to goe to hell? |
A10945 | when God promiseth and commaundeth vs to trust him? |
A10945 | when they haue called in lustily, as men at a banquet, I meane, when they haue taken their pleasure and liued therein? |
A10945 | when they manifestly bewray that they are glutted with the tidings of it? |
A10945 | when we see, that all other are but vanitie and vexation of spirit? |
A10945 | when who seeth not, that it were the way to liue in obedience, and to follow mens callings diligently? |
A10945 | where are the traines and companies of all sorts of good fruites, as their children? |
A10945 | where are they in this our age who may be brought foorth for such examples? |
A10945 | where is any pacifying of wrath in mens selues, and a free forgiuing of them, but rather a seeking of reuenge for the smallest wrong? |
A10945 | where is that authoritie and gouernment ouer the members of the minde and bodie, as ouer a wife, that they may bee well ordred? |
A10945 | where is their former peace and spirituall reioycing in God their portion? |
A10945 | where is their mirth become? |
A10945 | where is their strong confidence which they should not cast away? |
A10945 | where is those mens religion, which S. Iames boldly saith is none, where the tongue is thus vngouerned, what shew soeuer be made thereof? |
A10945 | where one corrupteth not the other? |
A10945 | wherefore is he fearefull of ill company, and desirous of good? |
A10945 | which in the former are but dimly represented? |
A10945 | which thing how vnwelcome it would be and wearisome, if it were but one day, who doth not see and perceiue? |
A10945 | which were to do contraries? |
A10945 | who neither can honour God, as then they did, nor giue that light to other? |
A10945 | who now are content to be deceiued in thinking that they haue it, and yet are vtterly without it? |
A10945 | who shall deliuer me? |
A10945 | who would not be glad to do any thing which might please God? |
A10945 | why dareth he not fashion himselfe after the world in their common prophane delights? |
A10945 | why is the holy assembly of Saints most desired of him; but because it is the pleasure, which he seeketh aboue other? |
A10945 | why should one be shoaled from the other? |
A10945 | why then doe ye affirme( they say) and that to the discouragement of many, that if our hearts be not reformed, the meanes doe vs no good? |
A10945 | with how much ado shall such go into the kingdome of heauen; and much more, gouerne themselues rightly from day to day? |
A10945 | yea and such a gift, as without the which, we can not honour nor serue him aright? |
A10945 | yea and that willingly and readily, only for the hope of that, which as yet he hath not, is it not admirable? |
A10945 | yea that in comparison thereof, the best things of price, are reckoned but as doung? |
A10945 | yea, and what would they giue, if they had it, how many thousand worlds, for a part in Gods kingdome? |
A10945 | yea, if he make them blessed, who can depriue them of it? |
A10945 | yea, what is welcome without them? |
A10945 | yea, what should hinder it from being so? |
A10945 | yet who doubteth that he can meane any lesse then this, when hee saith, in all things: euen such, as come to passe daily and euery day? |
A30592 | ( that was in those times a famous Whore) or would he rather drink strong and delightful Wine? |
A30592 | * An gra vis injuria est quia seductores ci Magos vos vocāt? |
A30592 | * Non tibi satis est Tudippe cum Phocione mori? |
A30592 | 10. Who is she that looketh forth as the Morning, fair as the Moon, clear as the Sun, and terrible as an army with banners? |
A30592 | 11. that when the waters of the sanctuary flowed, the miry places could not be healed: How seldom does the waters of the Sanctuary heal miry souls? |
A30592 | 13, 14. Who are those that are wholly void of the Spirit, and even uncapable of it? |
A30592 | 15. the Church is called an eternal excellency, because it is under the Lords protection, and is it not good being there, to be under the wing of God? |
A30592 | 16. that God would shew S. Paul, what great things he must suffer for his Names sake: and how did God prepare his heart? |
A30592 | 17. of a yong man that came running, and kneeled before Christ, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? |
A30592 | 18. says the Apostle, We beholding the glory of the Lord as in a mirror: What then, are we secure and presumptuous upon this? |
A30592 | 18. the Apostle speaks of some that were enemies to the Cross of Christ, but what were they? |
A30592 | 22. which is prophetical of Christ: who would not be in such acts of worship, to joyn with such as Christ joyns with? |
A30592 | 23. it is spoken concerning Rabshekah, Whom hast thou reproached? |
A30592 | 28. it is said, He blessed every one of them; How was that? |
A30592 | 3, 4. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorifie thy name? |
A30592 | 3. that there was no iron amongst the stuff of the Tabernacle: What do rigid iron dispositions in Gods Tabernacle, in Gods Church? |
A30592 | 31. why does God delight in the habitable parts of the earth? |
A30592 | 66. ad fratres in Eremo O Dii, quā brevis voluptatis gratia ex rege me feci servum? |
A30592 | 8. Who are they like Doves, that flie to their Windows? |
A30592 | 8. Who are those that fly as a cloud, and as the Doves to their windows? |
A30592 | 84. what abundance of expressions have we to set out his desires this way? |
A30592 | A spiritual eye, what is that? |
A30592 | Again consider, could you not wish in your hearts, that you might live always? |
A30592 | Again, Wouldst thou be willing at the great day to be found guilty of hating the ways of God? |
A30592 | Again, how do you pollute that which is holy? |
A30592 | Again, how should our souls love the Gospel, and prize the Gospel, that hath revealed all this to us? |
A30592 | Again, if we can bear reproaches patiently, what a quiet will it be to our hearts? |
A30592 | Again, in Heaven you know God himself is the portion of the Saints, they have the presence of God: What presence of God do you enjoy here? |
A30592 | Again, is there so much evil to be under the stroke of mans tongue, what a great evil is it to be under the stroke of Gods justice? |
A30592 | Again, there is no more dissention then in other places, for though in other places there seem to be more union, what is the reason? |
A30592 | Again, wilt thou spread the reproaches of Gods people, when as it is the great work of God to cover the sins of his people? |
A30592 | Alice Drivers expression was, That never neckerchief became her so well, as that chain did: and are you so shy of them? |
A30592 | Ambrose in his first Book de officiis, brings in godly men objecting thus, Why do the wicked rejoyce? |
A30592 | And after, for the Christian Church, we know what Christ himself, the great leader of his people suffered, what contradiction of sinners? |
A30592 | And again, will it not be just with God, for to suffer you to fall into some vile scandalous sin to be reproached for, after another maner? |
A30592 | And am I the man or woman that shall lose all this? |
A30592 | And art thou so eager upon that, which is no other portion then a Reprobate may have? |
A30592 | And as for my eternal estate, I shall hazard to miscarry therein; and oh my soul, dost know what it is to miscarry to eternity? |
A30592 | And as it was with David, when he had Saul at an advantage, and might have had his own will upon Saul, and yet spared him, how did this convince Saul? |
A30592 | And because you all pretend Religion, will they not think that that kinde of Religion which you pretend is a mad thing? |
A30592 | And further, consider, doest thou stand in need of so much covering of thy own sins, and wilt thou have a hand in spreading abroad the sins of others? |
A30592 | And hath the Lord been pleased to come in with his Spirit, and a light from Heaven to shew you the way? |
A30592 | And hath the Lord looked upon you, and considered how like you would be to fail in your choice? |
A30592 | And how do you derogate from the goodness of God, to walk thus unbeseeming Christians? |
A30592 | And how grievous will eternal pain be to thee, who art now altogether for delight and pleasure? |
A30592 | And how opposite is thy heart, and what difference between Christs heart and thine? |
A30592 | And is it nothing for a poor creature to go on in a way of opposition and enmity to an infinite Diety? |
A30592 | And know further, that Christ hath wrought hard to provide happiness for mankinde; and shall we neglect it? |
A30592 | And likewise for communion with Jesus Christ, what communion and converse is there between your souls and Jesus Christ? |
A30592 | And secondly, do you finde that you draw your principles that enables you to any good work from a Mediator? |
A30592 | And so I say to you that are Gods people, Is it not enough that Christ hath suffered for you and in you, but must he suffer by you? |
A30592 | And so we read of Stephen, when they were stoning him, says he, Lord forgive them: What was the ground of this? |
A30592 | And so, when you have storms and passions arise in you, and you by the word of God can make all quiet, men will wonder, and say, Who is this? |
A30592 | And what fruition have you of God? |
A30592 | And what is it you are reproached for? |
A30592 | And what union have you with God? |
A30592 | And why should we vex and fret, when we suffer any thing for God? |
A30592 | And yet further consider, ere long things will turn, Gods people shall have pleasure, and the world shall have afflictions: Affliction did I say? |
A30592 | And yet further, Who are your reproachers? |
A30592 | Are the Sabbaths your delight, as a beginning of the eternal Sabbath you shall keep in Heaven? |
A30592 | Are they such righteous ways as thou walkest in, as thou canst look upon his face, and behold him with comfort? |
A30592 | Are you acquainted with the ways of God? |
A30592 | Are you delighted in the communion of the Saints? |
A30592 | Are you reproached for Christ? |
A30592 | Are your hearts so bold and venturous, that you dare venture to go on in these ways? |
A30592 | Art thou nor confounded at the mention, the thought of such a thing as this, so unreasonable, so vile? |
A30592 | As Oecolampadius when he was to dye, and they spoke of the light without, says he, What is the light without? |
A30592 | As Pilate wondered at Christ, when his life was in question, he talks of truth, What is truth? |
A30592 | As it is said of God, Holy and reverend is his name; How does Gods name come to be reverend, but by being holy? |
A30592 | Augustine says of the happiness of the Saints, If God gives such good things to wicked men, does he keep nothing for the Saints? |
A30592 | BUt how are we to bear reproaches? |
A30592 | BUt how may any know that they shall have this glorious reward? |
A30592 | BUt how should Gods people so walk, as to bring others in love with their communion? |
A30592 | BUt though it be true, that the Devil and world are malicious; yet, does not God rule over all? |
A30592 | BUt what are the reasons why it must needs be, that the estate of Gods people must be an afflicted estate? |
A30592 | BUt what is to be done that we may attain to this glorious recompence of reward? |
A30592 | BUt what was the ground that made Moses thus esteem reproaches? |
A30592 | BUt you will say, these arguments may move us to do it, and convince us we should do it, but how shall we do it? |
A30592 | Be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; as if he should say, Do you know whom you serve? |
A30592 | Be willing to be guided by the counsels of God: What do you think in your consciences are the counsels of God concerning you? |
A30592 | Before we go any further, me thinks the thoughts of these should raise our hearts: what do we here minding such poor empty things? |
A30592 | Behold( saith an Ancient) the world is troublesome, and yet it is loved, what would it be if it were peaceable? |
A30592 | Behold, I am vile, what shall I answer thee? |
A30592 | Behold, they whose judgement was not to drink of the cup, have assuredly drunken, and art tbou he that shall go altogether unpunished? |
A30592 | Blessed are they that shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God; But who are they? |
A30592 | Bonus es Domine, animae quaerenti; quid invenienti? |
A30592 | But are you shy of sufferings, and run away? |
A30592 | But how are the ways of wisdom the ways of pleasantness? |
A30592 | But how may we finde out the particular sin? |
A30592 | But how much more base is it, for people still to stick in the mire and dross, rather then to seek after these glorious things? |
A30592 | But how must we appear? |
A30592 | But how shall I know that my reproaches are the reproaches of Christ? |
A30592 | But how shall we joyn with any? |
A30592 | But how should we improve afflictions? |
A30592 | But how should we manifest our respect to those that are outwardly mean, that are gracious? |
A30592 | But is it possible not to revile again? |
A30592 | But is it said here the reproach of Christ? |
A30592 | But it may be said thirdly, Whither shall we go to any people, but we shall finde sin there as well as in another place? |
A30592 | But it may be said, A suffering condition is the joyful condition, why then should we thus bless God that we are freed from it? |
A30592 | But may not a man go to heaven without it? |
A30592 | But may we not presume to think that such great things belong to us? |
A30592 | But though it be his dwelling, Is it a dwelling that is lovely to him? |
A30592 | But what if I should come in now? |
A30592 | But what if that which thou callest hypocrisie, God account godliness? |
A30592 | But what is that uprightness, and singleness of heart that we are to walk withal? |
A30592 | But what shall we do to get a portion in those things that shall be eternal? |
A30592 | But when are we called? |
A30592 | But when helps are taken away, and the Spirit of God does absent it self, shall we fear then that we are not called? |
A30592 | But when is a work supernatural, so as I must have some comfortable hope, that it shall reach unto this supernatural reward? |
A30592 | But when we are about this argument, the glory of the Kingdom of God, Doest thou seek great things for thy self? |
A30592 | But where have we those that do labor to clear the innocency of those that do reproach them? |
A30592 | But wherein does the pleasantness of the ways of wisdom appear? |
A30592 | But wherein does the presence of God with his people appear more then with other people? |
A30592 | But who is a true Israelite? |
A30592 | But why does God thus suffer wicked men, to enjoy their pleasure thus in the ways of sin? |
A30592 | But will God stay here? |
A30592 | But you will say, wherein does it appear, and how comes it to pass, that Gods people do so esteem of their sufferings for Christ? |
A30592 | Can this stand with grace? |
A30592 | Canst thou be in any place where thou seest God dishonored, and be merry? |
A30592 | Christ cryes out, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
A30592 | Christ hath gloried in the sufferings he suffered for you, and why should you be afraid of sufferings for him? |
A30592 | Come, let us reason together; Is there not infinite reason for Gods ways more then those ways you have walked in? |
A30592 | Confes l. 4 Ecce, turbatus mun dus,& amatur; quid si tranquillus esset? |
A30592 | Consider, does this beseem the spirit of a Christian? |
A30592 | Could I be content to part with my blood, and couldst not thou be content to part with thy lusts? |
A30592 | Cur cae quae ad usum diuturna esse non possunt, ad supplicium diuturna deposces? |
A30592 | Cur impi ● letātur cur luxuriantur? |
A30592 | Die queso, si quis solē tenebrarum autorem existimet, soline an sibi detraxit? |
A30592 | Do not you tear the flesh of one another by reproaches? |
A30592 | Do you not apprehend Heaven after a carnal and natural way, when you hear speaking of Crowns, and dignity, and happiness, and glory, and the like? |
A30592 | Do you see one walking in the ways of God? |
A30592 | Do you think Christ came to dye, and shed his precious blood to bring men into worser conditions then before? |
A30592 | Do you think reproaches from you will take off their hearts from all the good they had experience of Gods ways? |
A30592 | Do you think that God will let his people sink in their sufferings for him? |
A30592 | Do you think the sufferings you are like to meet withal in Gods ways, are more grievous to you, then your sins are to him? |
A30592 | Do you think them worthy of regard, if it were not for trouble and affliction? |
A30592 | Do your souls ask this question indeed in the earnestness of them? |
A30592 | Does God look at any man the worse for want of these things? |
A30592 | Does not the Scripture speak of the excellency, and the glory, and the power of the grace of God? |
A30592 | Draw near hither ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and the whore, against whom do ye sport your selves? |
A30592 | Eleventhly, What honor should God have in the world? |
A30592 | Eternal life is begun in this world in all that shall be saved; therefore think with your selves, What seeds of eternity have I put into my soul? |
A30592 | Fifthly, is not the inheritance of the Saints, that kingdom of glory, that incorruptible undefiled crown that is reserved for them, riches? |
A30592 | Fifthly, the great use that they are of in the world; What use is a poor man or woman of, that lives in a poor smoak- hole, that no man regards? |
A30592 | Fifthly, what are the apprehensions that you have of this reward? |
A30592 | Fifthly, what shall become then of ungodly and wicked men? |
A30592 | First, are you willing to suffer reproaches, and to glory in them? |
A30592 | First, would you know whether you shall have this Recompence of reward? |
A30592 | For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord; How was it proved they hated knowledge? |
A30592 | For ye shewed kindeness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt: Who were these Kenites? |
A30592 | Formoso quomodo haereris, qui sic amplecteris foedum? |
A30592 | Fourthly, do you glory in the low condition you are put into for Christ? |
A30592 | Fourthly, you come by this means to adde your sin to his sin: What, is not God dishonored enough by his reviling, but must you adde to Gods dishonor? |
A30592 | Gather not my soul with sinners: Would you not have your souls gathered with sinners hereafter? |
A30592 | God did not onely speak, and said there should be a blessing, but spake in a commanding way; There: Where is that? |
A30592 | God does not judge of men in regard of outwards; what are outwards before the Lord? |
A30592 | God in the Ordinances? |
A30592 | God says, The froward mouth he hates: Now if you have any love you should think thus, This poor man what hath he done? |
A30592 | God will not take the wicked by the hand; so it is in some of your books; Why then will you? |
A30592 | Gods people ought so to walk, as to gain respect from the consciences of men; Do you so walk as to gain any such honorable respect? |
A30592 | Guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory: Would you be brought to glory? |
A30592 | Had you ever any experimental knowledge of the evil of sin, or any good in the ways of God? |
A30592 | Haeccine est fides tua? |
A30592 | Hast any cause to repent thee? |
A30592 | Hath God given you a heart to make choice of his ways? |
A30592 | Hath God nothing else to communicate to the creature? |
A30592 | Hath God thus spoken peace to thy soul? |
A30592 | Hath my peace grown upon good grounds, so as it may- hold? |
A30592 | Hath not God given you immortal souls? |
A30592 | Hath not God made you for a higher end, then to eat, and drink, and play? |
A30592 | Hath not the Lord been pleased to bring you into the honorable estate of sonship? |
A30592 | Have you heard a voyce from heaven, saying, This is the way, walk in it? |
A30592 | Have you made Moses Choice? |
A30592 | He hath made me also a by- word of the people: Job was a godly man, and yet he was made a by- word: What then? |
A30592 | He instances in Sampson for strength, and yet what a contemptible end had he? |
A30592 | He instances likewise in Kingdoms; the Chaldaean, Persian, Graecian, Roman, how soon were they gone? |
A30592 | Here is faith called for, and why should not our faith go beyond reason to rectifie reason, as reason rectifies sense? |
A30592 | His visage was so marred more then any mans, and his form more then the sons of men: what then, is there none therefore that shall prize him? |
A30592 | How are the dreadful threatnings of God, and the revelation of Gods wrath scorned in the world? |
A30592 | How are we to set up the name of Christ? |
A30592 | How canst thou trust God with thy soul, thy eternal estate? |
A30592 | How did all that never heard of this way? |
A30592 | How do they know? |
A30592 | How does grace conduce to the comfortable life of Gods people? |
A30592 | How far are you from resisting unto blood? |
A30592 | How few wil now improve such interest in great ones, such opportunities for the relieving the persecuted Servants of God? |
A30592 | How great is it before Angels then, and before God himself? |
A30592 | How is that, says he? |
A30592 | How lamentable is the hearing of these things unto nice and curious women? |
A30592 | How lightly doest thou regard all the faithfulness, the mercy, goodness, wisdom, power of God, working for his people in their suffering conditions? |
A30592 | How long since was his kindeness shewed? |
A30592 | How long will you turn my glory into shame? |
A30592 | How long ye simple ones will ye love simplicity? |
A30592 | How many draw all their substance thorow their throats, and their belly? |
A30592 | How many hath God cast off? |
A30592 | How many thousands perish, because they are offended at the mean, afflicted, persecuted estate of Christ in this life? |
A30592 | How much more miserable is it for one to be in the form of a man, and to have the minde of a beast, yea, of a wilde beast? |
A30592 | How much more should the obtaining of this glorious recompence of reward, put heart into us to endure any difficulty? |
A30592 | How shall the hearts of the Saints be taken with that eternal Supper of the Lamb? |
A30592 | How shall we carry on the work of God pleasantly? |
A30592 | How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? |
A30592 | How shall we stop their mouthes? |
A30592 | How sore was the bondage of the Israelites in Egypt? |
A30592 | How sweet and delightful is the end of wisdom? |
A30592 | How sweet and pleasant are the ways of wisdom then? |
A30592 | How vain then is mans heart, in being set upon such vain things? |
A30592 | How will the Spirit of God plead against you? |
A30592 | I account all things in the world as dross and dung, or dogs meat; and will this satisfie you? |
A30592 | I am Jesus of Nazareth; why does he say, Jesus of Nazareth? |
A30592 | I am walking here, and compassed in the garden that is mine enemies, and what if he meet me here? |
A30592 | I answer, Are your hearts serious in asking this question? |
A30592 | I appeal to thee, Does thy pleasantness carry thee on more sweetly in the ways of Religion? |
A30592 | I had workings of Spirit then, what are become of them? |
A30592 | I may say to some, as Jonadab said to Amnon, Why art thou lean from day to day, being the Kings Son? |
A30592 | I remember a speech of Jerome upon that, Blessed are you when men speak evil of you, and revile you; says he, Who would not be willing to suffer? |
A30592 | I the Lord do keep it, I will water it every moment, lest any hurt it; I will keep it night and day: How full is this? |
A30592 | I urge it upon you as in the name of God, and answer in your secret thoughts, What are your hearts upon? |
A30592 | I who have given so much pleasure to the flesh, would God accept of me, and regard me? |
A30592 | IF you say, How shall I know how it shall be with me for eternity? |
A30592 | IT is true, will some say, there are glorious things prepared for some of the children of men; but whether may we look after them? |
A30592 | If Heaven must be so glorious to entertain the Saints, how glorious are those for whom heaven is prepared? |
A30592 | If a condemned man had two or three days granted him, that he might sue out his pardon, were that a time for pleasure? |
A30592 | If a man be going to be crowned, and to be glorified, and those that do not know him, as he goes contemn him, what cares he? |
A30592 | If after every intemperate draught, there should be a draught of scalding lead poured down, how grievous would it be? |
A30592 | If children be casting mire and dirt upon the faces of one another, how unbeseeming is it? |
A30592 | If company should come to draw them to drinking, and uncleanness, would they yield then? |
A30592 | If grace be pleasant, how pleasant is glory? |
A30592 | If he comes with this temptation, Why will you go on in a singular way from others? |
A30592 | If it be done thus to the green tree, what shall be done to the dry? |
A30592 | If men do so much for the things of the world, why should we be backward in doing for Heaven? |
A30592 | If the footmen have wearied thee, how canst thou contend with horses? |
A30592 | If the neather springs be so sweet, what will the upper be? |
A30592 | If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinners appear? |
A30592 | If there be so much content to the minde in viewing the things here, what content will there be to the minde in beholding God, and his glory? |
A30592 | If this one Ordinance be so blessed, what a blessing then is the enjoyment of all, and that in a right way? |
A30592 | If this succession be so honorable, so happy, how honorable, how happy doth the succession of Religion from Father to Son, make Families to be? |
A30592 | If you ask why the reproaches of Gods people are called the reproaches of Christ? |
A30592 | If you had never so much filth upon you for the present, being there is so much honor to come, what need you to care? |
A30592 | If you love your bodies, be godly: if you did believe these things were so, would not these make you love godliness? |
A30592 | In heaven there is the perfection of our natures, the image of God shall be renewed; now is the image of God begun? |
A30592 | In such profuse expences, for the satisfying of the flesh, how many do glory, as if it were the highest happiness attainable upon the earth? |
A30592 | In the second place; What infinite cause have we to bless the Name of God that gives us such pleasant ways unto glory? |
A30592 | Indeed if they had no higher ends then your base ends, you might say so; a base hypocrite what need he be so strict? |
A30592 | Is Christ notwithstanding all his reproaches dear and precious to us? |
A30592 | Is any man afflicted? |
A30592 | Is it God that you enjoy in the creature? |
A30592 | Is it not a riddle to you? |
A30592 | Is it not more like thou shouldst have pleasure when thou art reconciled to God, then when thou art an enemy? |
A30592 | Is it not time to look about me? |
A30592 | Is it possible that the chief contentment of a creature should be in sinning against an infinite God? |
A30592 | Is it that spiritual and supernatural good that is in Heaven? |
A30592 | Is my life such as may be said to be worthy of God, and that God that hath called me unto his kingdom and glory? |
A30592 | Is not mean wholsom fare rather to be desired? |
A30592 | Is not our way of Religion a greater inheritance to us, then an inheritance of a thousand pounds a year? |
A30592 | Is not plain russet or leather better that is free? |
A30592 | Is not this a mercenary thing, and hypocrisie? |
A30592 | Is not this one thing that is spoken of amongst the rest, that is but for a season? |
A30592 | Is there not cause of suspition? |
A30592 | Is there nothing else for you to seek after? |
A30592 | Is this the way to clear your selves, by defiling your selves more? |
A30592 | It is a notable speech that Ambrose hath; Why will you make that which can not be eternal for use, eternal for punishment? |
A30592 | It is an excellent speech of Bernard, Good art thou, O Lord, to the soul that seeks thee; what art thou then to the soul that findes thee? |
A30592 | It is not yet Six thousand years since God did any thing out of himself, and what is six thousand years to eternity? |
A30592 | It is true, godly men may have them, but never as their portion, God hath afforded you better pleasures, hath he not reserved better things for you? |
A30592 | It may be asked, Why not the reproach of God the Father, or the reproach of the Holy Ghost? |
A30592 | It was the sad expression of Lysimachus, who had lost his Kingdom for one draught of water, For what a short pleasure have I made my self a servant? |
A30592 | Iudgement must begin at the house of God, and if it first begin at us, what shall the end of them be, that obey not the Gospel of God? |
A30592 | Knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? |
A30592 | Let the name of God be precious to you: Is it not a precious thing to live so, as to bring honor to God? |
A30592 | Let us eat and drink, to morrow we shall dye: Why do you say, to morrow? |
A30592 | Memor esto vinculorū Pauli,& vide quam sit absurdū illum esse in vinculis te verò deliciari: deliciarum concupiscentia prehenderis? |
A30592 | Might you not have gathered from thence, that there was another time a coming? |
A30592 | NOw what use should we make of this difference? |
A30592 | Ninthly, How little love is there in thine heart to God, when thou art so shy of any thing to be suffered for God? |
A30592 | Ninthly, often call your self to account after the affliction is over; What is become of it? |
A30592 | Noune gravius omnibus foetet sepulchris? |
A30592 | Now I appeal to thee, Canst thou behold the face of God in righteousness? |
A30592 | Now consider, what life have I? |
A30592 | Now do you finde this? |
A30592 | Now if you have any conviction at all, tell me, Are you willing to enter into the ways of God? |
A30592 | Now shall the reproach of an evil tongue take away the comfort of a godly heart that hath so great honors? |
A30592 | Now what a mercy of God is this to stop our way, though it be by filth? |
A30592 | O no, but those whom God honors, let us honor; What rule can we have better for our honoring of men, then that honor that our God puts upon them? |
A30592 | O say they, who are they that favor this way? |
A30592 | O that God would fasten these thoughts upon you, when you are in the midst of your delights; But will this hold? |
A30592 | O that the fear of God might be upon you, because of the reproach of your adversaries: Is Christ dear to you? |
A30592 | O what is reserved for me then? |
A30592 | O what will you do in the day of your visitation? |
A30592 | Of what little account are all these gracious blessed promises of the Lord, for their encouragement herein? |
A30592 | Or, have not I heard the reproaches of others, and been delighted with them? |
A30592 | Ought he not to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory? |
A30592 | Our condition is such, that we must suffer one way or another, while we live here; Is it not better then to suffer for God then any other way? |
A30592 | People talk of Gods mercy, but how few ever had a spiritual sight of Gods mercy? |
A30592 | Pliny says, there was a miraculous example of one Xenophilus, who lived a hundred and five years without sickness: But what is this to eternity? |
A30592 | Psalm, brings in God, rebuking a discontented Christian, thus: What is thy faith? |
A30592 | Qu is post hujusmodi vocem tentari se non sinat? |
A30592 | Qualis erit splendor animarum cum solis splendorem habebit lux ● orporum? |
A30592 | Quid alibi poscis quod alibi debetur? |
A30592 | Saint John had a little glimpse of the representation of Christ, and how glorious is it set forth? |
A30592 | Say with thy Savior, Shall not I drink of that cup my Father hath given me to drink? |
A30592 | Says Ahasuerus, What shall be done to the man whom the King will honor? |
A30592 | Says Calvin upon this argument, What are we poor worms, full of vanities and lyes, that we should be called to be maintainers of the truth? |
A30592 | Says Chrysostom, When you hear any reproach you, you should think, have not I reproached others? |
A30592 | Says Seneca, He is to be ashamed that does unjustly, and shall you be ashamed that are innocent? |
A30592 | Secondly, are you begotten unto the hope of these glorious things? |
A30592 | Secondly, because they are chained together; as the Papists will say, there is no such union between others, as between us; What is the ground? |
A30592 | Secondly, is not the truth of God a rich jewel, a precious jewel? |
A30592 | Secondly, what are you? |
A30592 | Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what maner of persons ought ye to be in all maner of holy conversation and godliness? |
A30592 | Seekest thou great things for thy self? |
A30592 | Seventhly, How vile is the unbelief of thy heart, who darest not trust God with thy name, estate, liberty? |
A30592 | Seventhly, if there be so much good in this way, labor to improve it to the utmost: Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool? |
A30592 | Shall eating, and drinking, and a little pleasure here, put heart into men to suffer hardships, to endure difficulties? |
A30592 | Shall therefore this Ordinance be accused as the cause of dissention? |
A30592 | Shall your hearts stir when you hear Gods wrath, and when you hear of Gods grace shall not your hearts stir then? |
A30592 | Shall your sins have a greater testimony of respect to them from you, then God himself? |
A30592 | Si adeò dulce flere prote, quàm dulce erit gaudere de te? |
A30592 | So it may be said to an Apostata, Poor creature, from whence comest thou, and whither goest thou? |
A30592 | So seeing these things are so that are revealed, What shall we say to these things? |
A30592 | So the pleasure of the eye, what is it but the visive spirit that is in the eye? |
A30592 | So the ways of God that are so glorious, to make them serviceable to your base ends, what dishonor is put upon the ways of God in this? |
A30592 | So thou doest in the way of sin: That thy chief contentment should be in incensing the wrath of an infinite Deity against thy soul? |
A30592 | So you may say to every temptation, to the ways of sin, What, can my sin give me Heaven, and glory, and immortality? |
A30592 | So, why is it that your hearts are set upon the delight of the creature? |
A30592 | St. Augustine in his Confessions hath this notable expression: How sweet was it to me of a sudden, to be without those sweet vanities? |
A30592 | Suppose an Angelical nature were put upon us, what a change would there be? |
A30592 | Suppose reproaches had such shame in them as you think they have, can not God put honor upon them? |
A30592 | Suppose you have an estate encreasing more then another, what will you do with it? |
A30592 | Take heed of such things as may hinder that good you may have in communion with the Saints: What are they? |
A30592 | Tenthly, Did you never suffer affliction in your ways of sin? |
A30592 | That thy chief contentment should be in departing from God? |
A30592 | That thy chief contentment should be in putting thy self under the everlasting curse, that bindes thee over to eternal death? |
A30592 | That thy chief contentment should be in that, which being committed, if ever it comes to be pardoned, must cost more then Heaven and Earth is worth? |
A30592 | The Heathen could say, Believe me, true joy is no light thing; but what windy frothy contents are these pleasures to the flesh? |
A30592 | The last Use of all, is, If the ways of wisdom be ways of pleasantness, what is the end of wisdom? |
A30592 | The pleasures that you speak of, what are they? |
A30592 | The renewing of this daily, and setling of this daily upon the heart, what might it do? |
A30592 | The three Children in the fiery furnace with Gods presence were happy? |
A30592 | There are none but their hearts are set upon some good that they apprehend to be good; Now what is that good? |
A30592 | Therefore now do you ask, Who shall have Heaven? |
A30592 | They hated that truth of God, and that which should bring them into the ways of God, and guide them in it; How does that appear? |
A30592 | They have glorious priviledges; What are they? |
A30592 | They think the matters of Religion are but niceties, and and to venture the loss of so much for such niceties, what a foolish thing is it? |
A30592 | Thirdly, Wouldst thou willingly have God reject all thy services, and account them as abominable to him? |
A30592 | Thirdly, all for God: Why then should not God have the glory of all his own way? |
A30592 | Thirdly, is it not a rich thing to enjoy communion with God? |
A30592 | Thirdly, there is a mixture of a curse with them: What good is there in having a brave sute with the plague in it? |
A30592 | Thirdly, thou who art so shy of suffering, mayest be forced to suffer in spight of thy heart; and what a sad thing will that be to thee? |
A30592 | Thirdly, to the ways of godliness that leads to all this: great and blessed are the things of the Kingdom of Heaven; from whence is all this? |
A30592 | This is a great price; if many had seen the days that we have seen, how would they have blessed God? |
A30592 | This is the great complaint of a soul in the time of trouble, O how long shall it be? |
A30592 | Those things that are braveries in the world, and take up the eyes of men to admire at them, what are these to God? |
A30592 | Thou hast been merry in company, but does this carry thee on more fully in the ways of God? |
A30592 | Ubi Plato, ubi Pythagoras, ubi Stoicorum turba? |
A30592 | Unde tu Christiane, delicatus es miles? |
A30592 | Vis audire indignātis dei terribi lem vocem? |
A30592 | Vis nunquam esse tristis? |
A30592 | Was it not told my Lord what I did? |
A30592 | Was not all my sufferings worthy of enduring those little things thou wert called to suffer in thy life? |
A30592 | Was there ever such a fool as to be jeered out of his inheritance? |
A30592 | Was there ever such wickedness like this? |
A30592 | We are weak, and if we should have felt such things as others have, what should have become of us? |
A30592 | We hear much of the vanity of the creature, and we can speak much of it, but how is it improved? |
A30592 | We may say to them, as the Angel said to Hagar; Hagar, from whence comest thou, and whither goest thou? |
A30592 | We shall be like him: what is the ground? |
A30592 | Well, but why should we suffer much affliction for the joyning with Gods people? |
A30592 | Were your souls ever acquainted with the presence of God in the Ordinances? |
A30592 | What a dreadful shreek will that soul give, that sees an infinite Ocean it must lanch into, and sees no provision that it hath made for it? |
A30592 | What a noise did they make about the Temple of the Lord? |
A30592 | What a sad thing was it to Cranmer? |
A30592 | What a sad thing will it be, that when you go out of the world, it should be said, Christ hath had more dishonor by you, then he hath had honor? |
A30592 | What a shameful thing is it for those that are Christians, that know spiritual excellencies, to look upon those that are gay, and brave outwardly? |
A30592 | What admirable expressions hath that Book of the Canticles, of Gods delight in the graces of his people, and in the ways of godliness? |
A30592 | What almighty power of the holy Ghost have you felt that hath raised these hopes? |
A30592 | What an argument then is it to set forth the greatness of a Christian, that Heaven, and God, and Christ, and all are his and for him? |

A74976 | But will you yet hearken to me in this thing? |
A74976 | But wo is me, where am I now? |
A74976 | But woe to us, what Friends are we of this Enemy? |

A74976 | Oh how we do desparage the power of God, when our difficulties make us doubt? |
A74976 | Oh it were well for us if our hearts had no more to say against us then men can say; what unevenness and inequality is there in our goings? |
A74976 | Oh me- thinks, Christians, we should rather step one before another; and when our Lord demands, Who will go with me? |

A74976 | On which hand am I like to stand in the Judgment? |
A74976 | On which hand do I stand now? |
A74976 | Open thine Eyes, Sinner, if ever thou wilt escape; open thine Eyes, and see where thou art? |
A74976 | Or are the delights and comforts hereof such flashy and airy things, that we can not tell when we taste them, whether we be awake, or in a dream? |
A74976 | Or is this a conceit, that it shall then fare better with the Sheep then with the Goats? |
A74976 | Or is this the conceit, That this well- doing is necessary to our well- being? |
A74976 | Or that those are Christs Sheep that hear his voice, and follow his steps, and keep by the Shepherds Tents? |
A74976 | Or the Ignorant, or unbelievers, or adulterers, or drunkards? |
A74976 | Or, are those the best servants, who waste their Talents, or bind them up in a Napkin? |
A74976 | Or, if he would needs pray, he might have done it secretly, and kept his devotion to himself; Must he needs keep his hours, and open his windows too? |
A74976 | Or, is it not their tenderness? |
A74976 | Our impatience bears false witness against God, and his Gospel; what is the voyce or the meaning of impatience, less than this? |
A74976 | Patient and proud? |
A74976 | Peaceably, not provoking them to Envy? |
A74976 | Secondly, hath the Devil yet given over Preaching, and are the Preachers yet silent? |
A74976 | See thy way in the valley,& know what thou hast done How canst thou say, that thou art not a Wretch? |
A74976 | Seemeth it a small thing unto you, said David, to be the Son in Law of a King? |
A74976 | Shall I add one word more? |
A74976 | Shall I be sent away as I came? |
A74976 | Shall I count them pure, with the wicked ballances, and the bag of deceitful weights? |
A74976 | Shall I count those pure? |
A74976 | Shall I in earnest? |
A74976 | Shall I now set upon a better course? |
A74976 | Shall I now, without any longer delay, set upon a godly Life? |

A74976 | Shall I take these good things which the Lord hath given me, and bestow them upon ● ● ch vile things as these? |
A74976 | Shall I take this course, or shall I continue as I am? |
A74976 | Shall I this day resolve upon it? |
A74976 | Shall earthly Orphans find pity, and onely Spiritual Orphans be left Orphans? |
A74976 | Shall neither my first, nor last words prevail with you? |
A74976 | Shall the unclean enter in thither? |
A74976 | Shall there be Evil in a City, and the Lord hath not done it? |
A74976 | Shall those pass for fools now, who will be found wise at last? |
A74976 | Shut the door against every sin, for whose Messenger is it? |
A74976 | Sin, and guilt, I make a matter of nothing now; shall I have the same thoughts at death? |
A74976 | Sinner, you have not gone deep enough in Religion, to co ● e to the pleasure of ● t: And will you therefore say there is none in it? |
A74976 | Sinners, I have but a little more to speak to you, but shall that little be nothing? |
A74976 | Sinners, Will you come now? |
A74976 | Sinners, consider with your selves, is there any such thing as the new Birth? |
A74976 | Sinners, is this all the wisdom or honesty you have, thus to speak or think? |
A74976 | Sinners, let my fears be your fears: What, is there such astonishing guilt upon you, and yet not afraid? |
A74976 | Sinners, what do you mean? |
A74976 | So many Sabbaths, Sermons, Warnings lost, and never to be recalled; nor any Assurance left of one Sermon ▪ or Warning more, and yet not afraid? |
A74976 | So, Will a man mock God? |
A74976 | Some it may be would have answered, What do you more than others? |
A74976 | Something through the Grace of God hath been done, some service hath been performed; but what''s all this to what I might have done? |
A74976 | Soul, how camest thou in hither, into all this misery? |
A74976 | Speak Sinners, what do you think, are there any delights in Heaven? |
A74976 | Speak Sinners, whose words are these, and what do Precisians speak more, or other then this? |
A74976 | Speak now, O ye foolish sinners, Is Godliness of God? |
A74976 | Such a dreadful Roll writ against you, and yet not afraid? |
A74976 | Sure there is not overmuch of Gospel Spirit, where this will not be granted? |
A74976 | That none but Fools and Brutes will continue to be Libertines? |
A74976 | That the Devil drawes them on, and drives them on, and helps them on ▪ and hardens them on in their wickedness? |
A74976 | That the Prophets should be against Prophecying? |
A74976 | That they do so can not be denied, unless we will deny, not only Scripture, but common Sence and Experience; but how comes it to pass? |
A74976 | The Doctrines of Redemption is a real Truth: Need I prove this? |
A74976 | The Salvation of God sent away, Acts 28. and can there any thing worse befal a People? |
A74976 | The answer of that will depend upon another question, How far forth am I come already? |
A74976 | The strict and severe way of Holiness, hath little carnal delight, ease and worldly profit in it; but is not this the way to everlasting life? |
A74976 | The way of carnal Jollity and Merriment is as you think a more pleasant and delightful way: But is this your way to Heaven? |
A74976 | The way of covetousness and worldliness, you count a more gainful and profitable way; but is this the way of life? |
A74976 | The way of sloth fulness and idleness, is you think an easie way; but is this the way of the Kingdom? |
A74976 | Thence let the Doctrine be? |
A74976 | There be many that say, who will shew us any good? |
A74976 | There be many that say, who will shew us any good? |
A74976 | There is a great difference betwixt worshipping an Image,& worshipping God before an Image; What is there in all this? |
A74976 | There remaineth therefore a Rest to the People of God? |
A74976 | There''s no doubt at all, but this may make for the Churches good: Is there nothing that others may learn out of such a sad Providence? |
A74976 | These Arguments the Saints may use In Prayer: but is there no plea for poor natural men, that are yet in their sins, to make use of? |
A74976 | These Chains and Fetters that are upon me? |
A74976 | These iniquities, and such like, are ordinarily in their hearts and mouths: but such a serious question as this, What must I do to be saved? |
A74976 | They are much in asking the way, What must I do to be saved? |
A74976 | They have more need of Arguments then any; What shall they say? |
A74976 | This is my great fear, that though God gives, yet I shall break my peace; The God of peace with me? |
A74976 | This was once my condition, is it not still? |
A74976 | Thou art thine own, thy Tongue is thine own, thy Time is thine own, thy Estate is thine own, mayest thou not do what thou wilt with thine own? |
A74976 | Thou canst not indure the trouble and persecution of this world, but how wilt thou endure the torments and plagues of the other world? |
A74976 | Thou couldst never come where is more need; Who have need of the Physitian but the sick? |
A74976 | Thou hopest thou art a Christian, but where is the Image and superscription of Christ upon thy heart? |
A74976 | Though darkness can not bring forth light; evil can not bring forth good, by a natural causation; yet Can not God make evil an occasion of good? |
A74976 | Though it do work efficiently, yet can it not work objectively neither to it? |
A74976 | Though the torment, the Medicine puts men to, be not ease, yet may it not work towards ease? |
A74976 | Though thou be now putting on thy Armour, believe, and thou maiest boast as if thou hadst put it off: Death, where is thy sting? |
A74976 | Though you dare to steal, and purloin one from the other, yet dare you be so highly impious and sacrilegious, as to rob God? |
A74976 | Thoughts are free: Words are but things of course: What man man is there that lives and sins not? |

A67744 | As, are we bound to perform perfect obedience to the Law? |
A67744 | As, have you not sometimes seen two neighbours, like two Cocks of the Game pick out one anothers eyes, to make the Lawyers sport; it may be kill them? |
A67744 | As, what is the reason that there are few rich men that will not rather offend the Divine Majesty, then the Temporal Authority? |
A67744 | As, why will Christ at the latter day remember, and reward the duties of love and liberality done to men? |
A67744 | Ask not( saith Salvianus) why one is greater, another less; one wretched, another happy? |
A67744 | BEcause suffering is the only way to prevent suffering? |
A67744 | BUt how should I a novice, a punie, a white- liver, shake off this slavish yoke of bondage and fear in which Satan for the present holds me? |
A67744 | BUt what is the reason, why men make no more use of these Predictions of this warning? |
A67744 | BUt would these men( any one, even the best of them) thus improve, or imploy their knowledge? |
A67744 | Behold thou hast been carefull for us( sayes Elisha to the Shunamite,) with all this care: what is to be done for thee? |
A67744 | Believest thou the former Seriptures spoken by Christ, and his Apostles? |
A67744 | Beside ● how should those enemies of holinesse work their will upon us? |
A67744 | Besides( which would also be thought upon) what should we have if we did truly love and serve Christ? |
A67744 | Besides, how can men partake of that fountain of joy, and rejoyce not? |

A67744 | Besides, how were the Angels in heaven punished for one fault? |
A67744 | Besides, if these great knowers know so little, how ignorant are the rude rabble, that despise all knowledge? |
A67744 | Besides, what servan ● will wish to fare better than his Lord? |
A67744 | Besides, why dost thou curse thine enemie? |
A67744 | Besides, without some kinde of suffering, how shall your sincerity be approved? |
A67744 | Bless( saith our Saviour) when ye are cursed: and shall not we bless, when thus blessed? |
A67744 | Briefly, how oft doth wisdom without grace prove like a fair estate in the hands of a fool, which not seldom becomes the owners ruine? |
A67744 | Bu ● when will there bee an end of this long disease? |
A67744 | But Fourthly, Does any one desire or glory in Liberty? |
A67744 | But I want these qualifications, without which, how can I expect supportation in my sufferings; or an happy deliverance out of them? |
A67744 | But If you would know how to call them, they are properly subtle persons? |
A67744 | But Seventh ● y, To come to these present times wherein we live: Is it possible for a man to live a conscionable and unreproveable life? |
A67744 | But Sixthly, what can we think of an improvident Gamester? |
A67744 | But a violent and painfull death, is by far, more terrible and intollerable than a naturall? |
A67744 | But alas, how many are there that set the cart before the horse, and begin to change their lives, before their hearts? |
A67744 | But all the evill thou doest to the godly, is with thy tongue? |
A67744 | But as thrice Noble Nehemiah said to that false Belly- god betraying- Priest Shemaiah, Should such a man as I flee? |
A67744 | But aske his conscience the next question; What good hast thou done for his sake? |
A67744 | But do we thus requite the Lord? |
A67744 | But how can I speak, whenas my Tongue is tyed? |
A67744 | But how do they serve Christ& themselves, in so serving their Ministers? |
A67744 | But how have I requited this so great, so superlative a mercy? |
A67744 | But how in this case? |
A67744 | But how shall a man know, whether he hath this knowledge? |
A67744 | But if giving might not properly be called gaining, why is it compared to sowing? |
A67744 | But if thou canst not beare a few ill words for thy Saviour, without murmuring and impatience? |
A67744 | But in this case, Who are you angry withall? |
A67744 | But is it so? |
A67744 | But is there any hope for one so wicked as I? |
A67744 | But it is very easie to believe, thinks the sensualist; yes, but why? |
A67744 | But it will be demanded how this comes to be so? |
A67744 | But lest what hath been said should not prove sufficient; how basely will you calumniate him that but takes his Dues, especially of a poor body? |
A67744 | But may some say, Can any good come out of such a Nazarite? |
A67744 | But shall I shew you in some Particulars, how gainfull and profitable it is? |
A67744 | But tell me, hath not this roaring Lion prevailed against thy best part? |
A67744 | But their usual objection is, why will you be so singular? |
A67744 | But this is not one half of thine offence, For whom doest thou curse? |
A67744 | But thou wilt say, What can we do for God, or for Christ? |
A67744 | But to go on; wilt thou follow Gods example? |
A67744 | But to leave examples; and come to reason: Is it not an evident sign, that if the world hates thee, thou art none of the World? |
A67744 | But what a fearful reckoning have these men to make at the day of Judgement, when they give in their accounts unto God? |
A67744 | But what a strange folly is this? |

A67744 | But what ever others finde, thy sufferings are not thus counterpoysed and sweetned? |
A67744 | But what hath been the answer of GOD alwaies to his children, in such their extasies, but his? |
A67744 | But what of all this? |
A67744 | But what saith Salomon? |
A67744 | But what would malice rather have, than the vexation of them whom it persecutes? |
A67744 | But what''s the reason of this their mistake? |
A67744 | But what''s the reason? |
A67744 | But who can measure thy goodnesse, who givest all, and forgivest all? |
A67744 | But who will sow those barren Sands, where they are not only without all hope of a good Harvest, but are sure to loose their Seed and Labour? |
A67744 | But why do I call it, unthankfulness? |
A67744 | But why dost thou not altogether believe, that it is a blessed and happie thing thus to suffer? |
A67744 | But why is it? |
A67744 | But why? |
A67744 | But why? |
A67744 | But why? |
A67744 | But wilt thou prove thy self wise? |
A67744 | But with what comforts doth the Lord supply our losses? |
A67744 | But you will aske me, from what must we save? |
A67744 | But ▪ ARe you Christians? |
A67744 | But, how can I lay down my life for Chriss, when I can not for his sake quietly disgest a few reproachful speeches? |
A67744 | But, what needs all this? |
A67744 | Can he provide flesh for his people? |
A67744 | Can not our enemies diminish one hair of our heads, without God''s special leave and appointment? |
A67744 | Can the Sun receive light from a candle? |
A67744 | Can the door which is but almost shut, keep out the Thief? |

A67744 | Can you tell me? |
A67744 | Canst thou endure to dwell with the devouring fire? |
A67744 | Cease from thy wisdome, wilt thou cast thine eyes upon that, which is nothing? |
A67744 | Certainly men are stark mad; for otherwise, how could it be? |
A67744 | Certainly the more light we have, the more blinde men are, or else this could not be; For I would gladly aske such, Are you Christian? |

A67744 | Christ wore a Crowne of Thornes for me, and shall I grudge to weare this Paper cap for him? |

A67744 | David, whence came all his troubles by Absalom, Amnon, Adonijah? |
A67744 | Davids successe is Sauls vexation; yea, he findes not so much pleasure in his Kingdome, as vexation in the prosperity of David? |

A67744 | or who will be angry with a Dogge for barking? |
A67744 | or would we indeed expresse our thankfulnesse to him, for what we have received from him? |
A67744 | or, as Simon Magus was christened for company? |
A67744 | or, had he cause to repent himself? |
A67744 | or, is it not more for fear of the Law, then for love of the Gospel? |

A67744 | when did we reprove without anger, or envy? |
A67744 | when did wee bargain without deceit? |

A67744 | when they shall receive a multiplicity of torments, according to the multiplicity o ● their cruel and unconscionable deeds? |
A67744 | when this your malice is a sure token to you of perdition, but to me of salvation? |
A67744 | where are those torments which whilome thou didst so threaten me withall? |
A67744 | where no thief comes, where no Plunderer comes, where no rust comes: Is there any place like that? |

A67744 | who made Serena the Empress a Martyr, for her faith in Christ, but her own husband Dioclesian? |

A67744 | who thought Mordecaies not bowing the knee to him, a more heynous offence, then his own murthering of thousands? |
A67744 | who thought they might better murther Christ, then others believe in him? |
A67744 | why doth he permit so many, and such notorious crimes? |
A67744 | why doth he punish the innocent, and acquit the peccant? |
A67744 | why is he so severe towards his own; so gentle to others? |
A67744 | why then should you give your self over, where your Physitian doth not? |
A67744 | will he make you all Captaines over thousands? |

A67744 | yea, how can wee look for other at thine hands, then great and grievous, yea, then double damnation? |
A67744 | yea, is it not enough to make you despair of ever finding mercy at the Throne of Grace, or of having Christ your Redeemer and Advocate? |

A60194 | ( as Saine Paul was in affliction oft,) what comforted Saint Paul? |
A60194 | ( as they idly say) How we may know that the faith that we professe is the ancient faith? |
A60194 | ( for no man will be served by his servant as he pleaseth) how shll we know these certain truths? |
A60194 | ( for that is the question now) whether the Spirit it self, or the work of the Spirit, or the comfort and joy of the Spirit? |
A60194 | ( politike lawes I speak not of) shall a man yield to mens opinion, especially if the VVord do not warrant it? |
A60194 | ( to come to the matter more particularly,) what is that that the Spirit seales us with especially? |
A60194 | 12. have ye forgotten the Consolation that speaks? |
A60194 | 14. saith he, Who am I? |
A60194 | 2. how the Psalmist there insults over those that threaten to do this and that: Why do the Heathen rage? |
A60194 | 34. where he describes it, and tells us his name: what is the name of God? |
A60194 | 44. being in great distresse, they kept themselves from Idolatry, and from the contagion of the times wherein they lived: upon what ground? |
A60194 | 5. desire such to be reconciled to God? |
A60194 | 51. how he presseth upon God for mercy, and will a little serve him? |
A60194 | 8. who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods people? |
A60194 | 9. what is the reason? |
A60194 | ? |
A60194 | ? |
A60194 | A Christian is in the favour of God now, how shall he not be so for ever? |
A60194 | A Christian that is judicious and understanding, ask him in what estate he is? |
A60194 | A bad conscience can not joy in the middest of joy, it is like a goutie foot, or a goutie toe covered with a velvet shoe: alas, what doth it ease it? |
A60194 | A man may know here is stablishing grace: because except there were somewhat above nature, where were a man in such a case? |
A60194 | A man that hath his enemy to guide him to a place, that hath a Pirate to guide him in a Ship, how can he come to good? |
A60194 | Achitophel, he made provision, he set his house in order, and what became of him after? |
A60194 | Again, Christ stiles himself sweetly our brother: what a world of promises are in these relations? |
A60194 | Again, are all the promises of God in Christ and in him Yea, and Amen? |
A60194 | Again, are there not oft- times new, and great temptations, that a man must have a new measure of grace to resist? |
A60194 | Again, do we not need a great measure of strengthening Grace continually? |
A60194 | Again, for Apostasie, in the times of the alteration of Religion: why do men alter as the State alters? |
A60194 | Again, in the second place,( to make an Use of examination) I beseech you examine your selves whether you find this stablishing in your hearts or no? |
A60194 | Again, is it not a seeming wisdome to come to heaven by our own works, by our own merits, that so we may set the people on to good works? |
A60194 | Again, it comforts in sicknesse, Ezechias was sick, what doth he retire unto? |
A60194 | Again, the Invocation of Saints it is a Point wondrous full of uncertainties: Can they know and say certainly that the Saints hear them? |
A60194 | Again, what is the reason of that unfruitfulnesse that is amongst men? |
A60194 | Ahab got much by yielding to the carnal wisdome of Jezabel, Hast thou gotten, and also taken possession? |
A60194 | Alas what are all discomforts when God sets himself to comfort? |
A60194 | Alas, do not thousands sit in darknesse, and in the shadow of death? |
A60194 | Alas, what a miserable case is such a man in when he comes to dye? |
A60194 | Alas, what is a man out of Christ? |
A60194 | All the Creatures in the world would have sunk under the sufferings that Christ indured, what abasement to the abasement of Christ? |
A60194 | All the honours in the earth, all riches, and contentments, all the friends that we have, what can they do? |
A60194 | All the promises being made in Christ, what comfort or what good can those that are not yet in Christ have by the promises? |
A60194 | All things work for the best to them that love God? |
A60194 | Although a man should not be insensible of the ills of the times:( for else how should we pray against them?) |
A60194 | Am I not an Apostle? |
A60194 | Among the Jewes was there not the worshipping of the true God? |
A60194 | And Abraham, I am dust and ashes, shall I speak to my Lord? |
A60194 | And Moses he overcame God, Let me alone, why dost thou presse me? |
A60194 | And after it was committed, how did he cover it? |
A60194 | And again, as Bildad saith, Job 18. are the comforts of God light to thee? |
A60194 | And as I said, Who will be ruled by his enemy? |
A60194 | And consider, that how long soever we indure any thing, yet what is that that we indure here, to that that we are freed from by Christ? |
A60194 | And considering that there is such a day, let us make much of the day of the Lord, that is now left us; what is that? |
A60194 | And for men that are not yet believers, how wondrously doth God labour to bring such men to a good hope? |
A60194 | And he calls it, vain boasting: what makes God confound insolent attempts? |
A60194 | And he hath rules, seek thy self in all things; love thy self above all: And what then? |
A60194 | And he sends us to Christ, if Christ be dead, or rather risen again, who shall lay any thing to our charge? |
A60194 | And hereupon wicked men are called the world: why the world? |
A60194 | And how can we be thankful for himself, when we will not come and partake of him? |
A60194 | And how comfortably in the hour of death can the soul commend it self to God, when it sees it self stamped and sealed by the Spirit of Christ? |
A60194 | And how doth their wisdome bring them to hell? |
A60194 | And how? |
A60194 | And if God be with us who can be against us? |
A60194 | And if God be with us, who can be against us? |
A60194 | And if he have given us Christ, shall he not with him give us all things else? |
A60194 | And if this be so, then either those that have this earnest, this seal of the Spirit, they may be assured, or no; and if not, where is the fault? |
A60194 | And if you have nothing, come and buy without money, have you a will to come? |
A60194 | And indeed he hath shewed that he loves us; would we have a better evidence of it then his own Son? |
A60194 | And indeed, what is the difference between one Christian and another that lives in the bosome of the Church? |
A60194 | And is it any policy to suffer those to poison the judgments of people with heresies to God, and treason to their Prince? |
A60194 | And is it not a blessed thing that God will be trusted, that he hath made himself such a one as we may trust him? |
A60194 | And it is Judge of this controversie too, whether it be the Word of God? |
A60194 | And it is spirituall Adultery: for what should take up our affections? |
A60194 | And let every man think, what if God have hid my comfort in another man? |
A60194 | And let us end every day, as we would end our lives, how would we end our lives? |
A60194 | And no otherwise? |
A60194 | And now, O Israel, what doth the Lord require of thee, for all his favours, but to serve him with a chearful and good heart? |
A60194 | And often let us examine our selves, Would I die in this, and for this? |
A60194 | And shall he have a pardon, when he cares not for it? |
A60194 | And shall we think all shall be safe with us, as the Jewes did, crying, the Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord? |
A60194 | And shame our selves; what, hath God freed me from so great misery? |
A60194 | And so again, is it not a pretty wisdome to draw men by pictures, and likenesses? |
A60194 | And so whoremongers; the Word of God saith, Whoremongers, and adulterers God will judge; would men if they did believe this truth, live in these sins? |
A60194 | And so, art thou doubtful for the time to come what shall befall thee? |
A60194 | And that is the reason likewise why such a man can never be a good Christian, he can never go through the variety of times: why? |
A60194 | And the same spirit helps our infirmities and teacheth us how to pray? |
A60194 | And the world runs a clean contrary Byas in the several examples thereof: How many scandals do there arise daily even in the very Church it self? |
A60194 | And then Christ, what relation hath he taken on him? |
A60194 | And then Despair: when a man saith, What should I go about these things? |
A60194 | And then he blames his soul, Is God so? |
A60194 | And this he did in himself, before he doth it in us: for did not his greatest crosses tend to his greatest glory? |
A60194 | And this makes us to esteem highly of others: how sweet are the looks, and sight of a friend? |
A60194 | And those that disfurnish themselves by their negligence, and carelesnesse of such blessed helps, what enemies are they to their own comfort? |
A60194 | And to make us the more to think of these things, consider, that all other things, alas, what are they, when we have not a promise of them in Christ? |
A60194 | And what a comfort and encouragement is this, that a Christian hath so many factors for him? |
A60194 | And what a comfort is it to go to the experiments of scripture? |
A60194 | And what good have we by his sufferings? |
A60194 | And what is it that dulls and deads endeavour? |
A60194 | And what is our Saviour Christs whole course, but to free men from suspition of want of love? |
A60194 | And what is that that we can suffer here, to the glory and joy that remaines for us in heaven? |
A60194 | And what is the Ordinance of God to strengthen faith, is it not the Sacrament? |
A60194 | And what is the bawde for all this? |
A60194 | And what madnesse is it for a man to humour men, and displease conscience his best friend? |
A60194 | And what man is the Pope oft- times? |
A60194 | And what shall separate us from the love of God? |
A60194 | And when is the soul encouraged to suffer afflictions for Christ? |
A60194 | And when we have gotten rules, apply them: for what are rules without application? |
A60194 | And when we know them, work them upon our hearts by meditation, and shame our selves upon it: say, is it true, are these promises so? |
A60194 | And who do we do it to? |
A60194 | And why doth the Devill so cherish suspition, and a jealous disposition? |
A60194 | And why should we desire to do our bodies good, or our estates good, till God hath wrought his cure on our souls? |
A60194 | And will God suffer his creature to devise a Religion to serve him? |
A60194 | And would you have matter of joy in this world, that should joy you when nothing else will joy you? |
A60194 | And( would you have more?) |
A60194 | And, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft,& c? |
A60194 | And, Why will ye perish, O house of Israel? |
A60194 | Another branch of this is, That though Gods Promises be Yea, and Amen in his time, yet he usually defers his promises for a time, and why? |
A60194 | Are Gods Children sensible of Death, and the danger of it, and out of a principle of nature, and Grace too? |
A60194 | Are the Promises Amen? |
A60194 | Are the courses of Gods Children good, why will you oppose them? |
A60194 | Are the promises of God in Christ Yea, and Amen? |
A60194 | Are these matters to be slighted? |
A60194 | Are they not in themselves good motions, stirred up by the Spirit? |
A60194 | Are they not worthy to be damned? |
A60194 | Are they so? |
A60194 | Are they so? |
A60194 | Are they so? |
A60194 | Are those truths thou knowest so firmly wrought in thee by the Spirit of God? |
A60194 | Are we not all Christians? |
A60194 | Are we not all a like tainted with originall fin? |
A60194 | Are we wiser then he? |
A60194 | Are you resolved to be naught then? |
A60194 | Art thou come to torment us before our time? |
A60194 | Art thou sensible of thy imperfections, that thou canst not go about the duties of Religion, and of thy particular calling? |
A60194 | As Adams eyes were opened after his sin; why? |
A60194 | As David saith, what a foole? |
A60194 | As I said before, Shall we have certain promises of God that never lie, and shall we not build on them? |
A60194 | As for example, that excellent prerogative to be the Sons of God: What love? |
A60194 | As if a servant; or a slave must devise how his Lord will be served: what impudency is this, if we consider what God is? |
A60194 | As if they would swallow up the Church, and Christ the anointed: why do they do this, and that? |
A60194 | As in Plants and Trees, what is the fruit of the tree? |
A60194 | As in the Sacrament, would not God give Christ, and his benefits? |
A60194 | As it is in the Bible, in the book? |
A60194 | As it is said and observed by an ancient Father, that seldom he saw any good come by generall counsels: why? |
A60194 | As it is with Physical water; there is the water, and there are many strong things in it: What? |
A60194 | As one saith well, What good is it for thee that none knowes what is done, when thou knowest it thy felf? |
A60194 | As the Prophet Isay saith, When you fasted, did you fast to me? |
A60194 | As upon what grounds do they believe the Articles of the faith to be so? |
A60194 | As we can not escape Gods eye, so we can not escape the eye of conscience, Whether shall I flee from thy presence? |
A60194 | As we see in Asa, how many faults had he committed? |
A60194 | As we sleep quietly, because we hope to rise again, and we put our seed into the ground, with comfort, why? |
A60194 | As why doth God humble great ones with great afflictions? |
A60194 | Ask another, What do you mean to live so loosely, and carelesly? |
A60194 | Ask any man why he doth take so much pains, and be a drudge in his place? |
A60194 | Ask them why they sweat? |
A60194 | Away with conceit of merit: if we merit not daily bread, if we merit not outward deliverance, if we merit not health, what can we do for eternal life? |
A60194 | Because thou hast a little strength; how is that discovered? |
A60194 | Besides the vanity of th ● …, consider how you have gotten them, and how miserable will you judge your selves presently? |
A60194 | Bring my soul out of trouble, that I may praise thy Name, and what shall others do? |
A60194 | But I am not convinced by the Spirit assuring my soul that it is the Word of God; if men did believe it, would men bring a curse upon themselves? |
A60194 | But are the Promises founded upon thee? |
A60194 | But doth he deliver us onely outwardly? |
A60194 | But for the other, Knowledge puffeth up saith the Apostle; what edifies, and builds up? |
A60194 | But how considered is he the object of trust, God out of Christ Mediator? |
A60194 | But how shall any man certainly know it is yea? |
A60194 | But how shall the Church come by this abundant satisfaction and merit? |
A60194 | But how? |
A60194 | But in that wherein our nature is prone to put overmuch confidence, what are we? |
A60194 | But it is a Use of comfort to poore deluded Christians: they think, alas, can my estate be good, I am afraid of Death? |
A60194 | But it may be objected: how can we know our estate in Grace, our virtues are so imperfect, our abilities are so weak and feeble? |
A60194 | But not to go farther, that in the Revelation shews the truth of a little grace: what saith he? |
A60194 | But now who hath taken the relation of a father upon him? |
A60194 | But some man may say, How shall I know that I can pray, that I am in a state to help the Church of God, and to prevail for it by my prayers? |
A60194 | But some may say, is not the life the best Apology? |
A60194 | But some will say, what do you talk of suffering? |
A60194 | But those that do not belong to God, what do they in the hour of death, and in extremity? |
A60194 | But thou wilt object, I am a weak Christian, a sinful creature, what should God regard my prayers? |
A60194 | But to take a Christian in his worst time, in the worst and greatest afflictions, how shall he know then that he is sealed of the Spirit? |
A60194 | But what course shall we take when we want comfort? |
A60194 | But what doth God? |
A60194 | But what favours? |
A60194 | But what if there be inward grievances too? |
A60194 | But what in us is stablished in Christ? |
A60194 | But what is a further ground of this? |
A60194 | But what is become of this Church now? |
A60194 | But what is his degree of hope? |
A60194 | But what is the argument of the Apostle here? |
A60194 | But what is the reason of the proportion, why the greatest comforts follow the greatest sufferings, what is the ground of it? |
A60194 | But what is the vessel for this oyl? |
A60194 | But what is this Spirit an earnest of? |
A60194 | But what is this, if thou do not fence thy soul and thy spitit, and take a draught of the Promises every day afresh? |
A60194 | But what need confirmation when we believe? |
A60194 | But what relations hath he put upon him? |
A60194 | But what shall it be then of those that have opposed goodnesse? |
A60194 | But what then will avail at that day when Christ shall come to judge both the quick and the dead? |
A60194 | But what? |
A60194 | But when our peace is interrupted, when the waters are come into our souls, what must be our course? |
A60194 | But where shall we have it? |
A60194 | But why is it called flesh? |
A60194 | But why should the Apostle here not say thus, Not with fleshly wisdome, but with spiritual wifdome? |
A60194 | But why the Spirit, rather then the Father and the Son? |
A60194 | But you will say, Doth not God do many good things to them that are out of Christ? |
A60194 | But you will say, How can that be a seal that is not alwaies? |
A60194 | But you will say, What shall I account of it, if there be but a little sign of grace? |
A60194 | But( to come to the third Point) why doth he bring in consent to help? |
A60194 | But, another quere may be here, May a man glory in that which is in him, of the grace of God that is in him? |
A60194 | By me, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, would not his own authority serve the turn? |
A60194 | By this you may discern who take the wisest course; he that measures his life by a right measure and rule: who judgeth aright of persons and things? |
A60194 | Can I do too much for him, that hath done so much for me? |
A60194 | Can I part with my life? |
A60194 | Can I use indirect means, and yet believe that God is Al- sufficient to me in the Covenant? |
A60194 | Can a Mother forget her Child? |
A60194 | Can a man that is but a capable creature though glorified, as Peter, or Mary,& c. distinctly consider a thousand Petitions that are made? |
A60194 | Can he pretend I must sin upon necessity, who hath no necessity imposed upon him by God, but to avoid all sin? |
A60194 | Can none stablish the soul upon Christ, but God? |
A60194 | Can not a man think of a little pelf of the earth without comfort, when he knowes he hath assurance to it? |
A60194 | Can these men have humble hearts? |
A60194 | Can you dishonour him more, then to call his truth into question, that is Yea, and Amen? |
A60194 | Can you honour God more then in believing the Gospel? |
A60194 | Can you say that the Priest intends consecration in these words, This is my body? |
A60194 | Can you say when you confesse your sins, that you confesse all? |
A60194 | Can you tell certainly that Transubstantiation depends upon his consecration? |
A60194 | Children of wrath? |
A60194 | Christ himself, did he not take two disciples into the garden with him when his spirit was heavy? |
A60194 | Christ is Alpha, and Omega too; and What shall separate us from the Love of God in Christ? |
A60194 | Christ suffers nothing, he is in heaven, in glorie; how can he suffer? |
A60194 | Christ was the Son of the promise, how was he born? |
A60194 | Christ when he ascended on high, he led captivity captive,& gave gifts to men: What gifts? |
A60194 | Civil man, who? |
A60194 | Come to a Papist, and ask him, what? |
A60194 | Come to some men, and aske them, how it is with you? |
A60194 | Consider now, if the prayer of one righteous man prevail much, what shall the prayer of many righteous men do? |
A60194 | Consider seriously of it, what a joy will this be, that we have led our lives by a rule different from the world? |
A60194 | Corrupt nature stirs a man up to fret, and say, what doth God mean to do thus? |
A60194 | Credible, because God hath said it, and there is reason to prove it: as a man may prove by Divine reason, that all shall work for the best; why? |
A60194 | Dare they say their doctrine is nearer Apostolical then ours? |
A60194 | David saith of some, There be many that will say, who will shew us any good? |
A60194 | Death what is it? |
A60194 | Did Christ leave him? |
A60194 | Did not he know that God had ordained one to comfort another? |
A60194 | Did you ever feel the sweet joy of the Spirit after conflict with corruptions, and getting ground of them, and in holy duties? |
A60194 | Do I believe this, or do I not believe it? |
A60194 | Do I find God speaking to my heart in the Word? |
A60194 | Do I live without God in the world, as if there were no Promise? |

A60194 | Have we Anabaptists among us, that call this into question? |
A60194 | Have we not matter enough of our own to praise God for? |

A60194 | He did not spare Christ, innocency it self, cloathed with mans flesh; and will he spare to bring uncharitable suspitions upon others? |

A60194 | The infallible judgment of the Pope: but how can they tell when he speaks ex Cathedra? |

A60194 | The question between the Papists and us is, whether the Epistles, and the Prophets be the Word of God, or no? |
A60194 | The question is, Who hath the best standing, the Papists, or we? |
A60194 | The reason is this; How can man dare to challenge any thing of the great Majestie of God without a warrant from himself? |
A60194 | The reason is, It is Gods enemy, and our enemy: should a Christian consult and deliberate with his enemy? |

A60194 | Then again, they may call it equivocation, to mince it; but it is a lie, to speak one thing and reserve another: for what is a lie? |
A60194 | Then love will be full of devices, when I see Gods love to me, what shall I do to shew love again, to shew thanks to God? |
A60194 | Then why shall we not look for the accomplishment of all that are to come, on the same ground? |
A60194 | There are many that are Atheisticall, that live even under the Gospell, and what rule have they? |
A60194 | There are many that come to hear the Word to carpe, and to cavil, and to sit as Judges to examine, but how few are there that pray for the Ministers? |
A60194 | There is no man that is a carnall brutish man, but though he live, and have revenues and pleasures, he is cursed in his blessings: For what? |
A60194 | There is no man, but if he nave not faith he stands slippery, though he be never so great; if he be a Monarch, alas, what is it to stand a while? |
A60194 | Therefore examine your selves in this: I have undertaken this cause, upon what ground? |
A60194 | Therefore how much should we prize, and value the testimony and witnesse of a good conscience? |
A60194 | Therefore how will Gods vengeance be justified at the day of judgment, when these courses have been taken, and yet men will not come in? |
A60194 | Therefore let us complain, Lord, thy Promises are sure and certain as thou hast said, what is the reason I can not build on them? |
A60194 | Therefore let us often think, Is my faith good? |
A60194 | Therefore let us search and try our souls for our sins, for our chief discomfort are from sin: for alas, what are all other comforts? |
A60194 | Therefore they are not thankful to God, nor in their wants they go not to the God of comfort, why? |
A60194 | Therefore we should not sin, in hope of concealment: what if thou conceal it from all others, canst thou conceal thy own conscience? |
A60194 | Therefore whas do we but make our selves Gods, when we set upon businesse, especially weighty, without invocation and dependance? |
A60194 | Therfore have we not cause to suspect our selvs, that we are in smooth ways and find no crosses? |
A60194 | These men talk of conscience, and they come not to Church for conscience sake; what conscience can they have, when they have false rules? |
A60194 | They are uncertain riches: Riches they have wings, They are nothing, as the Prophet saith, Wilt thou set thy heart upon that which is nothing? |
A60194 | They have devises forsooth of the Popes treasurie, he, being the Treasurer of the Church, hath a treasurie; and what must that be filled with? |
A60194 | They have false principles, they conclude, may I not do what I list? |
A60194 | They have much jangling about the description of it, whether it be the soule it self, or a facultie, or an act? |
A60194 | They may reason thus; Is God by his spirit so full and so strong in these that are flesh and blood as we are? |
A60194 | They say they stand by faith too, but how? |
A60194 | Think with your selves, Had I grace to receive Christ? |
A60194 | This I speak, to reconcile some seeming difference: Doth Gods Spirit do all, and we do nothing? |
A60194 | This being laid as a ground, the text it self as a doctrine; what subordinate truths arise hence? |
A60194 | This seemeth strange; why, how could they read other things then what he wrote? |
A60194 | This should make us take heed by whom we are led, under whose government we come: Saith S. Paul, Do I purpose according to the flesh? |
A60194 | Those that have great parts of learning, that have great wits, and helps of learning as much as may be, what do they? |
A60194 | Those that have the beginnings of grace, they wait for the accomplishment, what makes this but afflictions and troubles of the world? |
A60194 | Those then that care not for Religion, what standing have they? |
A60194 | Those who have the firmnesse they have in the favour of men, it is but vanity: those that have the firmnesse they have in riches, what are they? |
A60194 | Thou hast a little strength: what doth that little strength move the Church of Philadelphia to do? |

A60194 | Thou wilt ask, what ground, or title, or right hast thou to believe, to claim Christ and the promises? |
A60194 | Though I should name no more, what a many sweet evidences are here to manifest a soul truly acted, and guided, and led by the Spirit? |
A60194 | Thousands go to hell, and think, O, God is a mercifull God, and I will trust in him, but how is thy life, is it carried by Gods directions? |
A60194 | Thus did S. Peter, after he had brought them to Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved? |
A60194 | Thus we should shame our selves; Can I hear these Promises, and be no more joyful, and be no more affected? |
A60194 | Thus, the Word of God is the seed of the Church, how? |
A60194 | To be led by this is even as if a man should be led by a Pirate, by a thief, by an enemy: and what can become of that man? |
A60194 | To explaine the word a little: what doth he mean by( God) in this place? |
A60194 | To stir us up to this duty, for arguments to perswade us, what need we use many? |
A60194 | To what end? |

A60194 | Use that apology to a Judge: though malefactors be none of the modestest creatures, will any of them say, It is my custom to rob, and steal? |
A60194 | VVas St. Paul to learn to trust in God, that had been so long a Scholar in Christs School, nay, a Master in Israel, was he to learn to trust in God? |
A60194 | VVe should be brought to this, why? |
A60194 | VVhat authority gives the present Church, when 20. yeares after the Church varies? |
A60194 | VVhat doth a man lose when he trusts in God, though he lose all the world? |
A60194 | VVherefore have we souls, and understandings, but to exercise them in setting forth our dangers, and the deliverances of God? |
A60194 | VVho bade thee look to this, and to be uncomfortable from thence, that thy estate is not good, because it is not such an estate? |
A60194 | VVho will trust his enemy, especially he that he hath made his enemy by his ill course of life? |
A60194 | VVill a man trust him that he makes his enemy by wicked courses? |
A60194 | Victory and Conquest, that makes a King: Is not he a Conquerour that hath that in him that conquers the world, and all things else? |

A60194 | Was God merciful to Abraham, and to David? |

A60194 | We may know it by his course in this life; what miserie are we subject to in this life, but we have comfort fit for it? |

A60194 | Wherefore art thou come to torment us before our time? |

A60194 | Why art thou so troubled, oh my soul? |
A60194 | Why do we alleadge this now for the Sacrament? |
A60194 | Why dost thou not pray for thy self? |
A60194 | Why dost thou not trust in him? |

A60194 | Why should we not expect that which is to come since the greater is done? |
A60194 | Why shouldest thou stagger for the time to come? |
A60194 | Why so? |
A60194 | Why t ● … Apostle names Grace, not Wisdome? |
A60194 | Why; if you intended to come, why did you not? |

A60194 | Why? |
A60194 | Why? |
A60194 | Why? |
A60194 | Why? |
A60194 | Why? |
A60194 | Will God give me life everlasting, and will he not give me provision in my pilgrimage till I come there? |
A60194 | Will God give me life everlasting? |
A60194 | Will a Patient be angrie with his Chyrurgion for searching of his wound? |
A60194 | Will any body acknowledge him to go to a great person, when he goes deformed, and in rags? |
A60194 | Will any man sowe in the barren wildernesse where it is lost? |
A60194 | Will any man take offence at the Gold- Smith for purging his mass? |
A60194 | Will he care for the Religion of an oath, that hath no Religion in him? |
A60194 | Will you looke for a reward from God, when what you did, you did it to the world? |
A60194 | Wilt thou know therefore whether thou trustest in God or no? |
A60194 | Wilt thou not trust him for this or that: but thou must use unlawfull meanes? |
A60194 | Wilt thou trust him for Heaven, and wilt thou not trust him for provision, for daily bread? |
A60194 | Without this stablishing in Christ what are we? |
A60194 | Would not God have bestowed health upon Saint Paul, if he had not had their prayers? |
A60194 | Would we have a greater pledge of his love? |
A60194 | Would you have him then at his appearing come and own you, and say then, Come ye blessed? |
A60194 | Would you have more? |
A60194 | Wouldest thou have him who is the great God of heaven and earth to hear thee, and to regard thee, when thou wilt not hear, and regard him? |
A60194 | Wouldest thou so? |
A60194 | Yes he doth, he doth: but are they blessings? |
A60194 | Yes, I do: If I do, can I believe them, and be so uncomfortable? |
A60194 | Yes, they will do much, not onely for thy self, but for others: what are prayers? |
A60194 | Yes, why then who is the better? |
A60194 | You consider not this, and therefore you project so for the time to come: What is your life? |
A60194 | You have acknowledged us, that[ we are your rejoycing;] What is the meaning of that? |
A60194 | You know Isaac was a son of the Promise, how was he born? |
A60194 | You think we wrong you, by not conceiving thus, and thus of you: what ground have we? |
A60194 | You will say to me, what is the reason that Christians are no more comfortable, having the God of comfort for their God? |
A60194 | You will say, how shall we know whether we put over- much confidence in them or no? |
A60194 | You would have us hope well of you, what ground do you give? |
A60194 | a persecution; Christ is scorned in his members, will he endure this at their hands? |
A60194 | according to the pcesent Church? |
A60194 | alas, how many corruptions had they in doctrine, and in manners too? |
A60194 | all these meeting together, in our last conflict, when all comfort will be little enough, what a comfort will it be? |
A60194 | and can I be thus dead, can I be thus dull- hearted? |
A60194 | and do I look to unlawful means? |
A60194 | and doest thou find the testimony of Jesus Christ witnessing to thy heart that they are true? |
A60194 | and doth he prcmise me life everlasting? |
A60194 | and doth not faith and hope of better things, where they are in truth, fashion and dispose every man to be such as may be fit for heaven? |
A60194 | and doth not he fill the bellies of the wicked with good things? |
A60194 | and doth that estate require purity? |
A60194 | and hath he advanced me to so happie an estate in this world? |
A60194 | and hath he given me Christ? |
A60194 | and he is with us in all estates and in all wants whatsoever? |
A60194 | and how can we love him unlesse we be perswaded that he loves us in Christ? |
A60194 | and how hath he revealed himself to us? |
A60194 | and how is the life of grace begun and strengthened, but by the meanes of salvation? |
A60194 | and if conscience be on the rack, what are all comforts? |
A60194 | and if thou canst not pray with distinct words, canst thou mourne and groan to God? |
A60194 | and in Christ how considered? |
A60194 | and is not mercy to the soul the greatest mercy? |
A60194 | and is there such grace and mercy in God to me? |
A60194 | and no unclean thing shall come there? |
A60194 | and shall not they all turn to nothing? |
A60194 | and shall we be patient not to have our soules sealed? |
A60194 | and shall we not trust him when we have his providence, and his promise too? |
A60194 | and shall we think of heaven, and happinesse, and not rejoyce? |
A60194 | and that have had no spiritual experience? |
A60194 | and the Scriptures to be so? |
A60194 | and the people imagine a vain thing,& c. against the Lord, and against his anointed? |
A60194 | and therefore is it not a good religious policy to have pictures of Christ, and pictures of God the Father? |
A60194 | and those that live in a filthy course, when God hath said, Whor emongers and adulterers God will judge? |
A60194 | and to go with boldnesse and earnestnesse to him? |
A60194 | and to have further assurance of all the good things by him? |
A60194 | and to intreat others to pray for us, when we will not be merciful to our selves? |
A60194 | and was Christ so good as to do and to suffer such things for me? |
A60194 | and what a beast was I? |
A60194 | and what are all other discomforts? |
A60194 | and what are the last comforts of all, the comforts reserved at home, when God shall be all in all? |
A60194 | and what glorie to the glorie of Christ? |
A60194 | and what is joy without a good conscience? |
A60194 | and what is this to the ambition of a Christian, to see the Image and representation of Christ stamped in his soul? |
A60194 | and what revealed truth is so, but Divine truth? |
A60194 | and where were a foundation for faith? |
A60194 | and wherefore doth he make intercession in heaven? |
A60194 | and wherefore he did dye and rise againe? |
A60194 | and which St. Paul wrote unto? |
A60194 | are all in the visible Church Saints? |
A60194 | are his Promises in him Yea, and Amen? |
A60194 | are not men delighted with the Images of their friends and of their parents? |
A60194 | are such courses good? |
A60194 | are the main points of Popery that you believe, alwayes yea? |
A60194 | are they not incense kindled by the fire of the blessed Spirit of God? |
A60194 | are we not freed from Hell and Damnation, and have we not Title to Heaven? |
A60194 | are we not fuel for consuming fire? |
A60194 | are we not hewn out of the same rock? |
A60194 | are we not the sons of God? |
A60194 | are we not the sons of our heavenly Father? |
A60194 | are we stronger then he? |
A60194 | are you in Gods wayes? |
A60194 | are you rich or honourable? |
A60194 | as water? |
A60194 | as you imagine? |
A60194 | aym they at our self- contentment, and private interest? |
A60194 | become of us at the day of Judgment? |
A60194 | between a temporizer, and another? |
A60194 | but, what is it for Religion? |
A60194 | can God be merciful to such? |
A60194 | can I part with my goods? |
A60194 | can open the ambages of a troubled Conscience in such perplexity and confusion? |
A60194 | can they be merciful to the souls of others, that are cruel to their own? |
A60194 | can we look for any thing from God by our own conceits? |
A60194 | canst thou trust thy soul with God, and canst thou not trust him with thy family? |
A60194 | could I be content to lose the favour of great ones? |
A60194 | did he ever turn any back from him, but those that went away of themselves? |
A60194 | did he not shed tears for those that shed his blood? |
A60194 | did he want a guide? |
A60194 | did not I give you warning? |
A60194 | do Angels love us better then he? |
A60194 | do I find the Spirit of God with his Ordinance? |
A60194 | do not parents love tohear the voyce of their Children? |
A60194 | do they avoid crosses in any degree, and do they think to have comfort? |
A60194 | do they complain of themselves? |
A60194 | do they go out of themselves? |
A60194 | do we not believe the first four generall Councels? |
A60194 | do we not give him the glory of his truth, that he will make good his promise which we alledge to him, and presse him with? |
A60194 | do you know whither you go? |
A60194 | do you live as you would be content to dye? |
A60194 | doest thou set thy self against the whole World? |
A60194 | dost thou so basely esteem of it, when God is not onely willing that thou shouldest pray for thy self, but requires thee to pray for others? |
A60194 | dost thou suffer in a good cause or no? |
A60194 | doth God say any where in his Word, you shall be judged by the example of others? |
A60194 | doth God stirre up thy spirit to call upon him, especially in extremity? |
A60194 | doth he mean himself? |
A60194 | doth he not put away merits, for the uncertainty of his own righteousnesse? |
A60194 | doth he put me in so certain a hope of glorie in the world to come? |
A60194 | doth he renew his mercies every day upon me? |
A60194 | doth he stand in need of us, or doth he need any thing we have? |
A60194 | doth he take any thing from us but he gives us better? |
A60194 | doth not God mean in good earnest to them when he gives them this? |
A60194 | doth not the Devil envy goodnesse, and good actions? |
A60194 | doth not the rain fall upon the ill as well as the good? |
A60194 | doth not thy profession as thou art a member bind thee to be a Saint? |
A60194 | doth the Spirit of God give me a relish of the Scriptures above all the pleasures in the world? |
A60194 | doth the Spirit of God open them, and shew a light in the Scripture that is divine? |
A60194 | doth the water cure, or purge? |
A60194 | except we make him our Counsellour? |
A60194 | for all other things were not other nations as good as we? |
A60194 | for it is but a minutes work to end thy dayes; what if God should end thy dayes in that minute? |
A60194 | for, are you members of the Church, or no? |
A60194 | had we authority before? |
A60194 | hast thou not found the power of the Spirit working upon thy soul, changing of thee, raising of thee, drawing of thee out of the world nearer to God? |
A60194 | hast thou not( I say) felt the power of the Spirit this way? |
A60194 | hast thou so base an esteem of this incense? |
A60194 | hath God done them any wrong? |
A60194 | hath he done all, and suffered all according to the prophecies, as it was written of him? |
A60194 | hath he not convinced thee in thy judgment that it is so? |
A60194 | hath he not given thee a taste of them? |
A60194 | hath he not him that made the world at the first, and can make another if he please? |
A60194 | hath he not made the promise to thy posterity, as well as to thy self? |
A60194 | hath he not reserved an inheritance, immortall, and undefiled in the heavens for us? |
A60194 | hath he shut up his tender mercies in displeasure? |
A60194 | hath not a wicked man sometimes twitches of conscience which the world sees not, secret checks of conscience? |
A60194 | have I a certain promise to be carried to salvation? |
A60194 | have I a clear understanding of them, because they are divine? |
A60194 | have I not seen Christ? |
A60194 | have they learned to trust in God, when sacrilegiously they take away the time dedicated for the salvation of their souls, and the service of God? |
A60194 | have we not a pledge? |
A60194 | have we not use of every creature? |
A60194 | have ye forgotten that every Son that God chastizeth not is a bastard? |
A60194 | have ye forgotten? |
A60194 | have you renewed your purposes for the time to come? |
A60194 | have you repented of your sins past? |
A60194 | he is no Rebell, cares he for a pardon? |
A60194 | he is our Husband: what a world of promises is there in that? |
A60194 | he knows that that is the way to cure him? |
A60194 | he opposeth his own conversion; what is conversion? |
A60194 | his being in the world, his being rich, his being in favour with such or such, what are they? |
A60194 | his life should be a perpetual thanksgiving to God; and how can a man be thankfull, that is not joyful? |
A60194 | how are they helpers of their joy? |
A60194 | how darest thou that art flesh and blood look to God? |
A60194 | how doth God judge of them? |
A60194 | how doth Satan confound them with distractions? |
A60194 | how doth he prove that Christ is alway yea? |
A60194 | how far would I willingly go in it? |
A60194 | how shall I be able to live in such a time,& c? |
A60194 | how shall we approve our selves to God, and to Jesus Christ at the day of Judgment? |
A60194 | how shall we carry our selves against this disposition of men among whom we live? |
A60194 | how soon do they leave it all? |
A60194 | how was I deluded with this ill company, and with that? |
A60194 | if God have revealed his Will to do so, why do we doubt of this great point of Gods raising the dead? |
A60194 | if I take this and that course, shall these promises be performed? |
A60194 | if we will not feed upon himself, when he stoopes so low as to give himself for us, and to feed us with himself, what will we do? |
A60194 | in death, what can all the creatures help? |
A60194 | in the exercise of holy purposes, to please God? |
A60194 | in the exercise of repentance? |
A60194 | in what confidence? |
A60194 | in whom are they made? |
A60194 | insinuating that if they had remembred this, it would have comforted them; have ye forgotten? |
A60194 | inward grace for the time to come? |
A60194 | is all so clear? |
A60194 | is he a wise man that only talks of States matters, out of Books he hath read? |
A60194 | is he made for this life onely? |
A60194 | is he not Gods Child? |
A60194 | is he not true of his Word? |
A60194 | is here our progresse? |
A60194 | is it against Conscience? |
A60194 | is it against the Word? |
A60194 | is it no tGod that gives a mouth? |
A60194 | is it not a spirit stronger then the wounded spirit? |
A60194 | is it not his work, saith conscience? |
A60194 | is it not meerly carnal wisdome? |
A60194 | is it not water and earth, excellently digested, exquisitely concocted and digested? |
A60194 | is it not wisdome in the Princes Court, first to go to the Favourite, and by him to the Prince? |
A60194 | is it not you? |
A60194 | is it true, that God hath revealed these things in his Word? |
A60194 | is it well built? |
A60194 | is not he a consuming fire, and we stubble for his wrath? |
A60194 | is not he the authour of my calling? |
A60194 | is not his first comming a pledge of it? |
A60194 | is not our nature defiled, and tainted, and can it otherwise be amiable, then considered as knit to him that is first amiable, that is Christ? |
A60194 | is not the greater performed already? |
A60194 | is the Spirit it self this seal? |
A60194 | is there any comfort for such? |
A60194 | is there any thing but saving grace? |
A60194 | is there any thing but that which God loves most, and which is best for his soul that is the object of his spight, and of his poyson and malice? |
A60194 | is there no hope for this in Israel? |
A60194 | is this a vain glorying to commend him, Oh he is a worthy learned Rabbi, a great learned Apostle: and then that they were such, and such people? |
A60194 | is this grace? |
A60194 | it is a dead thing, it hath no efficatious quality, but to cool,& c. Whence comes the efficacy? |
A60194 | may I not make of my own what I will? |
A60194 | meddle not with him: so conscience will say, Did not I witnesse? |
A60194 | must not this whole world be consumed with fire? |
A60194 | nay, that we rather call principles into question? |
A60194 | no removing of objections that the soul makes, no unloosing of the knots of conscience? |
A60194 | nothing but the drosse: What is lost in the body by sickness? |
A60194 | of Satan, and all enemies, Who shall lay any thing to our charge? |
A60194 | or are men in a kind of numbnesse, and deadnesse, and Atheism that they think it is no matter, that they put all to a venture, and think all is well? |
A60194 | or die in? |
A60194 | or do all by his Spirit without help? |
A60194 | or men that should poyson fountaines, and all that should refresh and nourish men? |
A60194 | or the comforts of the Spirit? |
A60194 | or the graces of the Spirit? |
A60194 | or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea, yea, and nay, nay? |
A60194 | or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh? |
A60194 | or then many other people under Satan, and under Popish Teachers, and so rot away in their Ignorance? |
A60194 | or what is Apollo, but Ministers? |
A60194 | or who is this people, that we should be able to offer willingly after this sort? |
A60194 | or who would have comfort in conversing with them? |
A60194 | or why dost thou forget them? |
A60194 | riches, honours, friends, what good will they do in the hour of death? |
A60194 | saith Job: so a Christian in the strength of Temptations, and solicitations, and opportunities to do ill, he considers, Doth not God see? |
A60194 | saith the Apostle, that we of Rebels and Traitors, in Christ should be made the sons of God? |
A60194 | shall I be more base then the senselesse creatures? |
A60194 | shall I blaspheme him, and be like to the divel? |
A60194 | shall I cast my crown in the dirt? |
A60194 | shall he yield to any man living that is inconstant by his disposition? |
A60194 | shall it be the rule in one time, and not in another? |
A60194 | shall not be afraid of evill tydings; why? |
A60194 | shall present men interpret it thus, and say it is so now: and others that succeed say, whatsoever it was now, thus it must be believed? |
A60194 | shall we desire him to spare us, when we will not spare ourselves? |
A60194 | shall we despair? |
A60194 | shall we go from ignorance of particular men, to ignorance of the Church? |
A60194 | shall we have a rich portion, and neglect it? |
A60194 | shall we have an inheritance, a portion, and not labour to know it? |
A60194 | shall we have so many promises, and not improve them, and make use of them? |
A60194 | shall we see others ready to be swallowed up in the pit of despair, with heaviness of spirit, shall we see them dejected, and not take it to heart? |
A60194 | should all that are Baptized, and receive the Communion enter into a profession of sanctity? |
A60194 | should not God, and Heaven, and Heavenly things? |
A60194 | should not these things have place in our hearts, as they have in their own worth? |
A60194 | should we not believe it except the Church say so? |
A60194 | so should we say to any temptation to base courses of life, what shall such a man as I do this? |
A60194 | that have not only betrayed others by neglect; but have maligned good where they have seen it? |
A60194 | that he should be beholding to me for that duty? |
A60194 | that is, none can beare it, it is the greatest griefe: then I would know, what keeps a wounded spirit from sinking that it doth not despaire? |
A60194 | that knowes not that God hath begun a good work in him? |
A60194 | that made him crie: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee? |
