A64062 | And after this, what can be supposed wanting in order to salvation? |
A64062 | And what can be added to all this, but this thing alone to prove the Divinity of Jesus? |
A64062 | But for whom and under whose conduct was all this to be believed, and all this to be done, and all this to be suffered? |
A64062 | But if you still ask where it was before Luther? |
A64062 | But if you yet enquire further, whether fancy may be an ingredient in your choice? |
A64062 | Could a few Fishermen and a Publican effect all this for the son of a poor Maiden of Judaea? |
A64062 | For what else should I choose; For being a fool, and useless; for a pretty face or a smooth chin? |
A64062 | How it can be appropriate, that is, who to be chosen to it; 2. how far it may extend; that is, with what expressions signified; 3. how conducted? |
A64062 | I am the Lord God that brought thee out of the land of Egypt: and does Job serve God for nought? |

A64062 | That salvation may be had in your Church, is it ever the truer because we say it? |
A64062 | The first is; where was your Church before Luther? |
A64062 | The last inquiry is, how friendships are to be conducted? |
A64062 | The next inquiry is how far it may extend? |
A64062 | To the other Questions; Whether an Ecclesiastical Tradition be of equal authority with Divine? |
A64062 | What then? |
A64062 | Where then was your Religion before John Hus and Hierom of Prague''s time, against whom that Council was convened? |
A64062 | Whether the Apostles of our Blessed Lord did not Orally deliver many things necessary to Salvation which were not committed to writing? |

A64062 | can we suppose all the World, or so great a part of Mankind can consent by chance, or suffer such changes for nothing? |
A64062 | or for any thing less than this? |
A64062 | what greater certainty can we have of any thing that was ever done which we saw not, or heard not, but by the report of wise and honest persons? |
A64062 | what necessity forced you from us? |
A64062 | who shall make him recompence, or what can tempt him to do it knowingly? |
A18304 | 1 By thinking, that if one must give account of every idle Word, what exaction shall be required for his idle deeds? |

A48788 | Ah why will any rational man live in those things wherein no rational man dares dye? |
A48788 | And what experience can be in this world more than that of mens whole lives? |
A48788 | How rationally doth he discourse of the Divine Nature, and the being of a God, towards the close of Pericles his life? |

A26092 | And now, what remains for them to do at Night, but to review the Actions of the Day? |
A26092 | And seeing it is Ignorance, either habitual or actual, which is the cause of all sin, how are they like to escape this, who are bred up in that? |
A26092 | And why shall it not be thought as genteel, to understand French Philosophy, as to be accoutred in a French Mode? |
A26092 | But how hard is it to quit an old road? |
A26092 | But some will say, May not people be good without this confinement? |
A26092 | But why should she be blamed for setting no great value on her Soul, whose noblest Faculty, her Understanding is render''d useless to her? |
A26092 | Does any think their money lost to their Families, when''t is put in here? |
A26092 | Envy, that Canker, will not here disturb your Breasts; for how can she repine at anothers wel- fare, who reckons it the greatest part of her own? |
A26092 | For, since GOD has given Women as well as Men intelligent Souls, why should they be forbidden to improve them? |
A26092 | How can she be furnished with any solid Principles whose very Instructors are Froth and emptiness? |
A26092 | How their Devotions were perform''d? |
A26092 | I will only ask what course they can take to save it, and at once to preserve their Money, their Honour and their Daughters too? |
A26092 | Is Charity so dead in the world that none will contribute to the saving their own and their neighbours Souls? |
A26092 | Now, who that has a Spark of of Piety, will go about to oppose so Religious a design? |
A26092 | Or, will she to obtain such Bubbles, run the risque of forfeiting Joys, infinitely satisfying and eternal? |
A26092 | Shall your Emulation fail there only, where it is commendable? |
A26092 | This is a matter infinitely more worthy your Debates, than what Colours are most agreeable, or what''s the Dress becomes you best? |

A26092 | What generous Spirit that has a due regard to the good of Mankind, will not be forward to advance and perfect it? |
A26092 | Who will think 500 pounds too much to lay out for the purchase of so much Wisdom and Happiness? |
A26092 | Why are you so preposterously humble, as not to contend for one of the highest Mansions in the Court of Heav''n? |
A26092 | Wou''d she be so absurd as to think either to get love, or to keep it, by those methods which occasion loathing, and consequently end in hatred? |

A61859 | And do not you fear and adore this great and mighty God? |
A61859 | And therefore ought not they to be Sober, that whensoever they dye, they may not be taken unprovided? |
A61859 | And what a Sport and Pastime will an old Drunkard render himself unto such, who are called upon to reverence the Aged, and to respect Gray- Hairs? |
A61859 | And what a World of Good did that single good Man in those wicked Times? |
A61859 | And what an abominable ill Example will this give unto Children, and the younger sort? |
A61859 | And will not they express their Sense of Gratitude to this their good God, by being Sober, and keeping his Commandments? |
A61859 | And will they not yet be Sober, Grave, Temperate? |
A61859 | Are not young Men stirred up by these brave Examples that I have set before them? |
A61859 | As he tells his Parents that had lost him, and found him at last in the Temple; Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s Business? |
A61859 | Doth it not infinitely concern them to be Sober, Grave, Temperate, Sound in Faith, in Charity, in Patience? |
A61859 | Have they beheld, how God hath met with those that have set themselves against him by wicked Works, and hath struck them down with his Mighty Hand? |
A61859 | Have they in their Time seen Hundreds and Hundreds undone and ruined by it, and yet will they follow them, and take no Warning still? |
A61859 | Have they not had abundance of Experience of these and the like remarkable Conclusions of Sin and Violation of God''s most holy Laws and Precepts? |
A61859 | Have they not seen, how God hath cut off the Posterity of the Wicked; and how Riches got by Wrong, Knavery and Oppression, have not continued? |
A61859 | How hath he brought them up even from the Valley of the Shadow of Death? |
A61859 | How hath he sometimes given them that which they have most earnestly sought for and desired, to the infinite Comfort and Satisfaction of their Lives? |
A61859 | How long? |
A61859 | How many remarkable Providences hath God exercised the Aged with through the long Course of Life they have lived? |
A61859 | How many, sundry and various have these Dispensations of God been to Aged Men? |
A61859 | If they would but bethink themselves, what a vast Number of them hath happened in their Lives? |
A61859 | Never be Men, capable to Counsel and Avise your selves as long as ye live? |
A61859 | Never know how to govern your Tongues, and your Appetites? |
A61859 | Secondly, Aged Men have also seen by long Experience, the miserable Issues of Sin: and will they still continue in it, and never forsake it? |
A61859 | To be Fools at last, and to dye as Fools dye, in their Sins and Follies? |
A61859 | To have an Eye of Faith to see him that is invisible, and a Hand of Faith, to take fast hold of him, and not to let him go? |
A61859 | To what purpose have ye spent so many a fair year, and seen so much? |
A61859 | What Zeal for God was he endued withall; and how sweet is the Remembrance of him unto this Day, through so many successive Generations of the World? |
A61859 | What a Comfort and a Rejoycing will this be? |
A61859 | What a Reformation did he make in Iudah, when he was very Young? |
A61859 | What need to put a firm Trust and Confidence in him? |
A61859 | What will ye never be Wise? |
A61859 | What? |

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 | who shall lay any thing to the Charge of God''s Elect? |
A16660 | A smell to breath; and what? |
A16660 | A tast to relish; what? |
A16660 | A touch to feele; but what? |
A16660 | Againe, hence doe I gather the frailty and breuity of all earthly pleasures? |
A16660 | An Eare to heare; but what? |
A16660 | And how should we thinke, that God will respect vs, who haue disfigured his owne similitude, and so disguised our selues as he can hardly know vs? |
A16660 | And where may I limit or how confine the straying circle, of many perplexed and confused thoughts wherewith I am surprized, within so blest a period? |
A16660 | But retyring to my selfe with this expostulatorie discourse; Where be those eminent and memorable Heroës, whose acts I haue heard recounted? |
A16660 | Can I finde in rich coffers( the misers idols) any true obiect to plant this excellent organ? |
A16660 | Doth that by which we liue, cut from vs all means of liuing hereafter? |

A16660 | If such apprehension of shame appeare in brute beasts, what should his be, that is made Lord and gouernour of all beasts? |
A16660 | It is true; but why should the principallst motiue and organ of thanks- giuing be an occasion to the minde of erring? |
A16660 | LEt eye, eare, touch, tast, smell, let euery Sence, Employ it selfe to praise his prouidence, Who gaue an eye to see; but why was''t giuen? |
A16660 | O how many fall by this Sence of life, making it their sence of death? |
A16660 | Shall my eare be intangled with her soules staine? |
A16660 | Weake indeed, and of as weake accomplishment: for what can man doe, wherein he may glory? |
A16660 | What excellent delights be here proposed? |
A16660 | Why should man then fix the eye of his delight on the creature, hauing his eye made to looke vp to his Creator? |
A16660 | and how directed, when it is besotted with vanities? |
A16660 | and thus I expostulate; why would I not be rich? |
A16660 | doth he not hang downe the taile when he lookes vpon them? |
A16660 | doth the Bucke, hauing befiltht himselfe with the female, lift vp his horns,& walke proudly to the lawnes? |

A16660 | is this liuinge sence, this vitall faculty, this indiuiduate propertie made a rubb in our way to immortality? |
A16660 | or attribute the least of so exquisite a worke to his cunning? |
A16660 | or how wish any thing, hauing whatsoeuer I desired? |
A16660 | or prostitute her attention to so odious a subiect? |
A16660 | or the bodies instructresse( like a blinde guide) throw her headlong to confusion? |

A16660 | what exquisite comforts ministred? |
A16660 | where those victorious Princes, whose names yet remaine to posteritie recorded? |
A16660 | why no biting vsurer? |

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? |

A13075 | If thou remember these excessiue joyes, why doest not thou mak good use of them? |
A13075 | Is not this enough, to chase Thee from the Earth, O my Soule? |
A13075 | Little will containe it, why should they trouble the world with their idle and endles desires? |

A23740 | And can there be a grosser, a more detestable partiality then this? |
A23740 | And if their impotence can not afford excuse for it, what a debasement is it of mens nobler Faculties to be thus entertained? |

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 | 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 | 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 | 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? |
A26295 | Am I not subject to the envy of many, and many times in great solicitude to defend what I have from deceit and wrong, if not from injustice? |
A26295 | And Can a man take Fire in his Bosom, and his Cloaths not be burnt? |
A26295 | And can I be secure that it shall not be my lot and portion before I leave the world? |
A26295 | And doth not that teach you first to be just, and to render unto every one their due? |
A26295 | And how can he get wisdom that holdeth the Plow? |
A26295 | And indeed why should I continue my Religion any longer to you, to slight and contemn it, to reproach and defame it? |
A26295 | And may we be all a little serious, and thus argue with our selves every one of us, Am not I a Christian? |
A26295 | And now proceed on, and say to your self, shall I be so sottish and unwise, not to understand and take things as they truly are? |
A26295 | Annos si regnes felix per mille, quid inde? |
A26295 | Besides, how uncertain are these outward enjoyments in respect of their continuance? |
A26295 | Blessed is the Rich that is found without blemish, — Who is he and we will call him blessed? |
A26295 | Can all my Honours and Abundance secure me one moment from most of the Hazards and Casualties, Sicknesses and Diseases, incident to the meanest? |
A26295 | Can any thing be more desperate and insensate madness and absurdity? |
A26295 | Can one go upon hot Coals, and his Feet not be burnt? |
A26295 | Dicta factis deficientibus, what do they signify? |
A26295 | Do not these things deserve to be seriously deliberated upon in my health and strength? |
A26295 | Doth not knowledge and wisdom therefore become you? |
A26295 | For shall the Lion roar, and shall not all the Beasts of the Forest tremble? |
A26295 | Hath it not been well and truly observed, that the Roman Empire always best flourished, when it was the greatest Reverers of the Gods? |

A26295 | Is it not time therefore for us all to learn Righteousness? |
A26295 | Much more when it is grown to that height and perfection, as to become the Epidemical Sin of the Nation( as it were) at this day? |
A26295 | Now may not our blessed Lord and Saviour thus argue the case with us? |
A26295 | Oh how little of the footsteps thereof is to be found among the greatest part of Christians, and us also in this Nation? |
A26295 | Si tibi sponsa decens, si sit Generosa, quid inde? |
A26295 | So the Sinner with the Godly? |
A26295 | The splendor, glory and prosperity of your Prince is yours; take away the Sun out of the Firmament, and what will become of the Stars? |
A26295 | What can it be less than the greatest reproach imaginable to us Christians, that this Swinish sin should be once named among us? |

A18244 | Whither? |
A18244 | what''s beauty, strength, or breath? |
A26306 | After all, what signifies it that we are infirm and mortal in our Bodies? |
A26306 | And may cry out with Him, whom Religion had much better instructed: Who shall separate me from the Love of Christ? |
A26306 | And whence can this Necessity of admiring God proceed, unless it spontaneously arise from Known Perfection? |
A26306 | And would he be so excessively vex''d at being reduc''d, even to that Nothing, which surrounds him on every side? |
A26306 | But what if the Body be truly Degraded, so the Gain of the Soul does infinitely preponderate the Losses of the Body? |
A26306 | Contra Mercator, navem jactantibus Austris: Militia est potior: quid enim? |
A26306 | For pray, What is Vertue taken in this Sence? |
A26306 | For pray, what has the shaking of the Optick Nerve common with the Perception of Light? |
A26306 | For what else is it to love One- self, but to desire Happiness, and to desire Happiness, but to love One- self? |
A26306 | From the Objects? |
A26306 | Have we not another Futurity in View, which very well deserves the principal Care and Occupation of our Heart and Mind? |
A26306 | How come I, on the contrary, to love an unknown Person as soon as I see him, without informing my self either of his Merit, or unworthiness? |
A26306 | How comes this to pass? |
A26306 | How should his Courage be pull''d down, to whom the Dangers o ● this Life, seem no Dangers at all; nor the Miseries of this World, real Miseries? |
A26306 | I would know in the next place, Whether we can feel Joy and Delight without loving One- self, proportionably to this Perception? |
A26306 | Is it from any natural Defect of the Mind? |
A26306 | Is it not because the Contempt of our Neighbour, is rather affected, than real? |
A26306 | Is it tolerable, that a Man should make such Sacrifices to himself, as he would dread to Offer to the greatest of his Gods? |
A26306 | Now what Course can be taken to elevate, and render''em worthy and becoming the Grandeur of Men? |
A26306 | O Death, where is thy Sting? |
A26306 | O Grave, where is thy Victory? |
A26306 | Or, if their Esteem be so much worth, as to deserve the most passionate Desire of our Souls, how can we despise''em? |
A26306 | Qui fit Maecenas, ut Nemo, quam sibi sortem Seu Ratio dederit, seu sors objecerit, illâ Contentus vivat, laudet diversa sequentes? |
A26306 | Reason is call''d to judge and pass Sentence; but with how great Partiality does it execute this Office? |
A26306 | Shall I tell thee Araspe? |
A26306 | Shall Oppression or Anguish? |
A26306 | Shall we believe that the Wisdom of the Creatour is inconsistent with it self precisely in this? |
A26306 | What Advantage could they see in sacrificing their Goods and Themselves upon the Altar of Pride? |
A26306 | What can it do to us? |
A26306 | What do I say? |
A26306 | What does Humane Learning teach us? |
A26306 | What need we value the Menaces and Threats of the World? |
A26306 | What will Men''s Esteem signify to me, when I am not in Being to enjoy it? |
A26306 | Whence proceeds this Darkness? |
A26306 | Why should we embarass and perplex our selves with Cares and Sollicitude for the short Futurity of this transient Life? |
A26306 | Why then should we trouble our selves with such vain and contradictory Queries, As whether the Saints love God, better than themselves? |
A26306 | Would one, whose Merit reaches no higher than that of a Mortal and Dying Man, resent so great Horrour in Debasement? |
A26306 | Yet who is ignorant, that Men confound an unfortunate Ingenuity, with Ignorance; and a fortunate Ignorance obtains the Glory of Ingenuity? |
A26306 | who''ll assure me of the Possession of my Riches? |
A26306 | who''ll secure me of the Preservation of those Friends, whom I love and delight in? |
A69140 | 3 Behold the bargaine, and tremble at it; blesse thy God that thou hast not beene ouerraught? |
A69140 | 3 where the soule finds no rest in God, how can it be but restles in hawking after shadows? |
A69140 | 4 where pride is a chaine, how can bondage or subiection be any whit brooked? |
A69140 | 6 Can there be a greater plague to the wicked then still to be desiring, what they compasse? |
A69140 | And alas, how doe we seeke for mercy in this case, but for feare of vengance? |
A69140 | And can we looke for a better haruest of such fearfull seedings? |
A69140 | And haue we no leasure for religion, our thrift comes in so fast, al time is too little, either to husband wel that we haue, or to better our estate? |
A69140 | And how shall the faults of Ministers bee corrected but by the supreame Magistrate? |
A69140 | And indeed how can it be, that Satan should performe with them? |
A69140 | And is it any other in our Honourable Court of the High Commission, and in other Consistories of our Clergie? |
A69140 | And is not now bodily seruice made an Idoll, and will worship set in the seate of the scorners? |
A69140 | And is not this now Satans time to make prey of the soule? |
A69140 | And is there any feare of God, where prophanesse is iustified,& that by abusing and peruerting the straight waies of God? |
A69140 | And seeing Mammon serues our present turne, what more profit shall we haue in the seruice of God? |
A69140 | And what need wee desire the wine and the corne, when our God is at peace with vs? |
A69140 | And what neede he then take care for any other happines? |
A69140 | And when we haue the most thereof at the best, will it not prooue too heauie a reckoning without the blessing of God? |
A69140 | Are we sick of the world, and neuer satisfied therewith? |
A69140 | As, the Minister may be also a Magistrate? |
A69140 | But now on the other side, doth hee performe with them? |
A69140 | Consider we a little, how they vse these things: are they not vsually in extreames and so bode extremity? |
A69140 | Doe they not in distrust of Gods prouidence, vsually make Idols of these things, and so are giuen vp to make Idols of themselues? |
A69140 | Doth Cain build Cities,& seeke to nestle himselfe surely on the earth, to auoid the storme of heauen? |
A69140 | Doth Iudas sell his Maister for the wages of vnrighteousnesse, and doth he not set his soule to sale to the deuill? |
A69140 | Doth not affliction bridle sinne, and withdraw many encouragments there- from? |
A69140 | For What shall it profit a man though he should win the whole world, and lose his owne soule? |
A69140 | Haue we begun in the spirit, and haue quickly enough thereof? |
A69140 | How can this choose but breed despaire, and fearefull confusion? |
A69140 | How can we expect Grapes of thornes, or Figges of thistles? |
A69140 | How commonly do men prostitute their soules for the loue of the world? |
A69140 | How could wee enuie and fret at the prosperity of others? |
A69140 | How doth this discouer our barrennes of grace, how doth it conuince our bondage vnto sinne? |
A69140 | How fearefully heereby doe they enthrall themselues to destruction? |
A69140 | If Balaam for promotion, will bring God to his wicked bent: doth he not loue the wages of iniquitie, and expose his soule to the rage of Sathan? |
A69140 | If Saul to cloake his sinne, will be hindered of the people, shall he not be reiected of God, and hasten his own confusion? |
A69140 | If happinesse consist in enioying the world, then what need we feare to venture the soule; vnlesse we enuie our owne happinesse? |
A69140 | If we could be humbled dayly in the sence of our vnworthynesse, how should we be thankfull for the least? |
A69140 | If we could daily renewe our repentance, how should we preuent, or reiect Satans assaults? |
A69140 | Is it no profit to aduenture thy soule for the world? |
A69140 | Is it not at the least as Sauls Armour, too heauy a burthen for vs? |
A69140 | Is it not now a ruled Case among Worldlings, that there is no hell but to be in debt? |
A69140 | Is it with purpose to be ridde of our sinnes, or rather for hope we may returne to our vomit againe? |
A69140 | Is not euery Trade a Mysterie forsooth? |
A69140 | Is not he our sufficient portion, and shall we not with him haue all things else? |
A69140 | Is the price too deare? |
A69140 | Is thine eye euill because his is good? |
A69140 | Nay, is not the present Euent vsually a warrant herein? |
A69140 | One Trades- man may exercise diuers ciuill Callings? |
A69140 | Shall we for our better informing take a view of some of them? |
A69140 | Shall wee discouer the delusions which preuaile hereunto? |
A69140 | Such are the grounds to compasse these things, and are not the meanes suteable? |
A69140 | This serues the turne for the present, and what neede we any more? |
A69140 | What can we see abroad which may not more humble vs vnder the hand of God? |
A69140 | What hope of preuailing, where the soule is thus armed? |
A69140 | What need he feare whatsoeuer Bug- beares of heauen or hell, that simple men are feared withall? |
A69140 | What roome could there bee for him, if the heart were so employed? |
A69140 | What should wee doe with a whole world, whereof nothing is our due, and the least may serue the turne? |
A69140 | Whence it followeth? |
A69140 | Whether one man may haue diuers Callings? |
A69140 | Who would not enioy the most of all those things, that he may haue greatest happines? |
A69140 | Why do worldings engrosse and compasse the earth, but that they haue no hope of heauen? |
A69140 | Will Satan play thus false with thee, and cheate thee in thy Bargaine? |
A69140 | Will wee make sure of thriuing first, before wee labour for knowledge, and the feare of God? |
A69140 | and can these be but abused where credit is made the head, and conscience the tayle? |
A69140 | and can wee admit of any Iudge then ciuill honestie? |
A69140 | and is not the ground thereof, that roote of Atheisme, that they account of no God but Mammon, no heauen but worldly happinesse? |
A69140 | and is not this Mysterie abused commonly to deceiue, and be deceiued? |
A69140 | and what remaines there vnto vs but a fearefull expectation thereof? |
A69140 | can the conscience be free where profit limits religion, and ciuility is the iudge thereof? |
A69140 | doth not troubles awake the conscence, and at least breed some remorse& outward abstinence from euill? |
A69140 | hauing mouthes and yet dare not taste, hauing bellies, and yet pine themselues? |
A69140 | how maiest thou prepare thy selfe to euerlasting fulnes? |
A69140 | how ordinarily do men transgresse for morsels of bread? |
A69140 | how shall their wrongs be righted but by him? |
A69140 | how willingly is the soule made a prey for the gaining of earthly things? |
A69140 | if thou canst be faithfull a little, shalt thou not see greater things thē these? |
A69140 | it hath sorted well; and therefore it is well: what should I say? |
A69140 | must we not make the best of what we haue, seeing wee will haue no better? |
A69140 | nay, may not our precisenesse hinder our profit? |
A69140 | or rather doe we not dreame of mercy, and yet when we are awake we are an hungry? |
A69140 | that it is madnesse to thinke that there is any such couenant with Satan? |
A69140 | that plenty hath brought forth vanitie, and the daughter hath deuoured the mother? |
A69140 | who lesse enioy that they haue, then they that haue most? |
A23734 | AND now, O Lord, I who am less than the least of all thy Mercies, what shall I render thee? |
A23734 | ART thou in Want, which excites thy Discontent? |
A23734 | ASK thy Conscience whether it can presume to sin wittingly and willingly? |
A23734 | Again he demanded, That being Won, shall our Wars end? |
A23734 | And canst thou think that the Almighty will suffer thee to be lost, by permitting thee to Temptations? |
A23734 | And if God Justifies, who shall Condemn? |
A23734 | And rather more for the love of God, than for fear of his Judgments? |
A23734 | And what can the richest Treasures of Princes afford them more than Tranquility of Mind? |
A23734 | And what shall we do then,( said Cineas?) |
A23734 | And whether it can be sedate in any known and unrepented Sin? |
A23734 | Art thou endowed with Riches? |
A23734 | But when we have all in our Hands,( said Cineas) what shall we do in the end? |
A23734 | Can the Husbandman, so opportune the Wind, that he will not lose the Corn, but cleanse it from the Chaff? |
A23734 | DOST thou detest all Sin, because it is contrary to God''s Holy Will? |
A23734 | DOST thou resolve to oblige thy self to avoid Sin? |
A23734 | DOTH thy Faith endure many sharp encounters of the Tempter? |
A23734 | Dost thou carefully shun all occasions and incentives moving thee and enticing thee to Sin and Wickedness? |
A23734 | Dost thou conscientiously and diligently use the means to take cognizance of thy Sins; as by applying the word of God home to thy Conscience? |
A23734 | Dost thou in the inward Man consent to the Law of God? |
A23734 | ENQUIRE whether thou dost not persevere in some habitual sin? |
A23734 | Even this which thou now complainest of? |
A23734 | From this Inference, ask thy Conscience whether thou wouldst have committed this Evil which now wounds it? |
A23734 | HOW properly may vain, childish things, like dead Leaves neer the fruitful Autumn, fall off our minds, when we subscribe our selves Men? |
A23734 | Hast thou a hearty desire to have these wants of Grace supplyed? |
A23734 | Hast thou laid it up in a Solicitous Heart? |
A23734 | Hast thou not neglected the appointed means? |
A23734 | Hast thou not procured this unto thy self? |
A23734 | Hast thou valued it, and begged it fervently and frequently of God, above all things in the World? |
A23734 | How few set a right Estimate on Heavenly things till it be too late? |
A23734 | How guilty then must thou be in Envying his Felicity? |
A23734 | If God in his good Pleasure would have destroyed thee; how often and justly might he have taken thee away in thy Sins? |
A23734 | If want of Faith perplex thee; hast thou not negligently heard the Gospel? |
A23734 | In every affliction, examine well thy Heart for the Cause: Wherefore is the living Man Sorrowful? |
A23734 | Is he Good? |
A23734 | Is not every Temptation as the shaking of Trees, which loosing the ground, Engrafts them the deeper? |
A23734 | Is not it enough that he will effect that which is properest and best for thee and canst thou pretend to outvie his Wisdom? |
A23734 | Is not the sound of their Masters Feet behind them? |
A23734 | Is thy Fortune slender? |
A23734 | It animated the Royal Prophet to cry out, In the Lord put I my trust; how say ye then to my Soul, flee, as a Bird to your Mountain? |
A23734 | It was no small tryal, when David cryed out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A23734 | MAKE that inquest with thy Soul, whether ever thou wert possest of that, which thou art now sensible thou wantest? |
A23734 | NATURAL Historians acquaint us of some Countries free from Serpents; but who can inform me of any barren of Envy? |
A23734 | Nay, what can I, for all thy Transcendent Blessings? |

A03025 | Every man sees himselfe fall in his neighbour: Others harmes threaten me and say with the Apostle, What makes thee to differ from another? |

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 | 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 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? |
A38449 | And does any one dare to alter or correct what he hath made? |
A38449 | And here to satisfy your Sensuality? |
A38449 | And if you will not Sacrifice a Lust to the Glory of his Cross, how would you Sacrifice your Flesh to it? |
A38449 | And is God less skilful than the Limner ▪ The first we find at this Work was? |
A38449 | And is there no danger in these Ring- streaks? |
A38449 | And must you Ladies, needs Crucifie him afresh, and put him to a second shame? |
A38449 | And there is the depth of the Plot, and what a matter have you ferretted out? |
A38449 | And what have I to do with them any longer? |
A38449 | And who relieveth his Neighbours wants? |
A38449 | And why should I doubt it? |
A38449 | Are not all these things strange and wonderful in our Eyes? |
A38449 | Are not these the Sins of this Land, of this City, of this Court, at this day? |
A38449 | Are these the Dispensations and Postures of Mourners and Penitents? |
A38449 | But is this all the Plot? |
A38449 | But this is uncharitable, can not an honest Lady Paint? |
A38449 | But was this Nakedness from the want of an Neck- Lace or an Eare- Ring? |
A38449 | But why do I spend my time in so impertinent an Exhortation? |
A38449 | Can our Ladies shew any? |
A38449 | Can those Ruby Cheeks be satisfied with the Aiery ▪ Bloomes of Report, and Reputation? |
A38449 | Can yon believe this, Gallants? |
A38449 | Can you distinguish a Barber from a Justice of Peace, who stalkes with a Port as stately as he? |
A38449 | Canst thou be so Impudent to look on God with those Eyes which are so different from those himself made, and are now so marred by the Devil? |
A38449 | Come Ladies will you not vouchsafe one Glance Upon a dying Saviour on the Cross? |
A38449 | Come Ladies, what is your opinion of these Holy Fathers? |
A38449 | Do they not know that the Natural is Gods, but the Artificial is the Devils? |
A38449 | Do you approach hither to attaque even God too? |
A38449 | Do you come into the Sanctuary of your Maker to make your Conquests here? |
A38449 | Dost not thou tremble;( saith he in another place) to Consider, That at the Resurrection thy Maker will not acknowledge thee as his own Creature? |
A38449 | Half England liveth idly or worse occupied, we be fed to the full, and who is not puffed up with Pride? |
A38449 | Hath He said it, and will He not bring it to pass? |
A38449 | How can such an one weep for her Sins, when the very tears would wash away the Colours, and discover the Cheat? |
A38449 | I trow, our Enquire will find them ten times more guilty than ever were those in the Fathers dayes; Or what? |
A38449 | Instead of a sober& fasting people, are we not become a roitous& a drunken people? |
A38449 | Instead of being a Religious and Praying people, are we not become an Atheistical and Blaspheaming people? |
A38449 | Is debauchery and sottishness become the true methods of Honour to so incomparable a Government we lye under? |
A38449 | Is it a wonder to find our selves bald and weak, while we are slumbering in the lap of Dalilah? |
A38449 | Is not the Blessing, a Common Salvation, which we all so passionately long for? |
A38449 | Is there any Nation this day upon the face of the Earth comparable to us in this Abominable Sin of Pride? |
A38449 | Is there no Balm in Gilead? |
A38449 | Is this the Flesh and Blood( thinks he) is this the hair? |
A38449 | Is this the shape of a VVoman? |
A38449 | Is this the spirit of Love? |
A38449 | Nay, what do they else, but glory in that, which is by the just judgment of God reproachful unto them? |
A38449 | Nor means to retrieve us? |
A38449 | Now if God has stuck this loveliness on the Male Cheek, what has he done on Female? |
A38449 | O God to what a world of Vanity hast thou served us to? |
A38449 | O my miserable darling soul, into what shades art thou now passing? |
A38449 | Or hath Nature repented of her work since my days, and begun a new Frame? |
A38449 | SEe''st thou yon Coachful, Reader how they glide With all their Glittering Glories as they pass? |
A38449 | The very falling down of them would make long Furrows on her Face? |
A38449 | Therefore as Achish said, Lo you see the man is mad; so methinks I hear God say, Shall these mad people come into my house? |
A38449 | This Evil is of the Lord, wherefore should I wait for the Lord any Longer? |
A38449 | This is no news, Sir, have you never prayed For Mercy on your Miserable Soul Even by his Agony and bloody Sweat? |
A38449 | This the temper of the Gospel- Charity? |
A38449 | This the way to atone an incensed God? |
A38449 | Thou washest thy self, and paintest thine eye, and deckest thy self with ornaments, to what end? |
A38449 | VVhat Magical Rods have charmed our unfortunate Isle into the woful product of such speckled and spotted Cattel, as these? |
A38449 | VVhat means shall we use to crush these Vipers among you? |
A38449 | VVhether we can wash our hands of the Universal irreligion and debauchery which seems to have overspread the Land? |
A38449 | WHat a Bussle have we had about Plots of late, and cries against Popery coming in? |
A38449 | What Glories? |
A38449 | What Slash''d Dublets? |
A38449 | What Transcendences of them? |
A38449 | What application shall I make of all these Stories to poor England? |
A38449 | What can they think themselves less then Kings? |
A38449 | What different Cuts have we our selves known from this discribed? |
A38449 | What do the Ladies mean by it? |
A38449 | What huge Breeches, like Petticoats? |
A38449 | What is now become of that Moderation in Apparrel that formerly hath been in this Land? |
A38449 | What is their end? |
A38449 | What shall we do that the blood of of Jesus may speak better things for us than the blood of the Righteous Royal Martyr? |
A38449 | What shall we do to be saved? |
A38449 | What was this but Painting too? |
A38449 | What will become hereof at the last? |
A38449 | What, do ye come hither into the House of God as to a Play? |
A38449 | Where are they? |
A38449 | Where is my Image? |
A38449 | Where is the Dispensation we have gotten for it in these days? |
A38449 | Whilst they were jolly all, and soorn''d to sigh But what''s Jerusalems to the Gallants case? |
A38449 | Who dare to retrieve you from the sentence they have passed against your folly? |
A38449 | Why should not they do as Vastis? |
A38449 | Will men hope to prevail while they push with the brissles of a Woman instead of a Pike? |
A38449 | Will one content her? |
A38449 | Will she leave daubing then? |
A38449 | Will those Eyes Dart fire in the face of an Enemy, that are dazl''d in the Glitters of the Theater? |
A38449 | Will you call this a vain Excess to idle needless superfluity? |
A38449 | Yes, to win a Gallant; very well, and what then? |
A38449 | and do we abate in care to their Souls? |
A38449 | and is it not the case of us? |
A38449 | and the roarings of our Taverns at midnight quite drowning the Anthems of our Church? |
A38449 | do we hate each other to that Degree, that some are contented to be miserable still, that others may not be happy? |
A38449 | have they prevailed upon us to break off our sins by Repentance, or to continue in them, and encrease them with a brisker and sturdier Resolution? |
A38449 | have we not so great a Kindness and Zeal to the Women as they? |
A38449 | is not the hand of God to be seen clearly in all this? |
A38449 | shall we not at least go hand in hand, and reconcile to prayers and tears? |
A38449 | shall we not weep together for deliverance, without upbraiding each others drops, as Hypocriticall? |
A38449 | to what purpose is all this daubing and smearing the Face, that is so pretty already? |
A38449 | was it only the case of that King of Israel, and is it not the case of this Kingdom of England? |
A38449 | what shall we do to be saved from Ruin and Destruction? |
A38449 | — Come then in the Name of God, let us reason a while together: hath this been the case of Joram,( of whom we have been speaking)? |
A62729 | A Good Nature is seen alike in both, what joy and promptness is there in the action? |
A62729 | Again must we prefer our friend, or vertue? |
A62729 | Although what arguments to such as can collude with vertue? |
A62729 | An opprobrium? |
A62729 | And I pray Sir, rejoyneth Cyneas, why may you not so do, at this present, and save your self the hazards and the travels? |
A62729 | And have we not presently seen the submitter to be the vanquisher, and accounted more noble? |
A62729 | And how do you think does blushing become a Blackmoor? |
A62729 | And is it not most natutural to us to love our dependencies, our beneficiaries, our faithful co- adjutours, our trustees and Relyances? |
A62729 | And to perish that it may revive to a loving remembrance? |
A62729 | And what English man was ever so lamented at a Funeral? |
A62729 | And what can they note in it but imbecility and want of spirits? |
A62729 | And what farther? |
A62729 | And what if he had commanded you to burn our Temples? |
A62729 | And what( at length) is sought by attempting? |
A62729 | And what, replies Cyneas, after that? |
A62729 | And whether is it better to act out of fear, or out of shame? |
A62729 | And who but these have power to become our enemies if they prove unfaithful? |
A62729 | And who that hath wrought his own dishonour or diminution by his folly, will add the madness to it to stab himself? |
A62729 | And who would willingly come off a looser with a flourish of friendship? |
A62729 | And whom doth it not revive to see alacrity in another without apparent cause? |
A62729 | And will he add to his boisterous passion the reputation of killing, or of seeking the life of his friend? |
A62729 | And yet could you but laugh, if you had seen That chast, though rude embraces of the Queen? |
A62729 | Are not one and the same bowels common to them both? |
A62729 | Are we afraid to expose our selves? |
A62729 | As if I might not appear in publick as confidently as another? |
A62729 | But he hath done what he can not undoe, and I have suffered what I can not wipe off, but with his blood, or the licking of his tongue? |
A62729 | But however, it is its own reward at present, for what in this life is so sweet as favour? |
A62729 | But in what order shall we place this Amitie? |
A62729 | But shall we dare to oppose the Maxims of our Grandsirs? |
A62729 | But what if he had? |
A62729 | But what? |
A62729 | But, what difference is there in this act and passion in a good man and a wicked? |
A62729 | Can Heroick love, as it is accompanied with so many pangs and convulsions, be its own reward? |
A62729 | Can I hate my self for my failings, or misfortunes, that happen to me as their punishments? |
A62729 | Can the Sun forbear to shine, because it raiseth stench from the dunghil? |
A62729 | Do we affect to be honoured, and not to be beloved? |
A62729 | Do we not think strange of his profusion? |
A62729 | Either to subside in oblivion, or a voluntary sequestration of revengeful thoughts? |
A62729 | For if our thoughts and apprehensions were plainly one, now should there be place for advice and councel? |
A62729 | For what is a sense of incivility, or contempt to one that is void of pride? |
A62729 | For what is that, that I should love in such an Amity? |
A62729 | Good Nature is void of interest, and design, Can''st thou love for love, and make that the reward? |
A62729 | Have we not seen a gentle spirit submit his passions( for a time) and his reason too to his friend, and accounted it no vileness? |
A62729 | How can I then love him before my self? |
A62729 | How can this be? |
A62729 | How incongruous is it to imagine that the thirst should be sweeter then the wine, the hunger then the choicest fare? |
A62729 | If a beggar importune us, shame may move us, though there be no witness; and whereof, was that sense given us? |
A62729 | If estates and interests were not distinct, how should one have to supply what the other wanted? |
A62729 | If he joy and grieve with them, will he do''t for nothing, Or stay for asking? |
A62729 | If it be to debase my self, being noble, to be Good Natured, is it not better to be proud? |
A62729 | If it be to stay my advancement, being capable of obtaining it, is it not better to be ambitious? |
A62729 | If it were not to raise our memories above the level, and to live upon the wings of favour after we are dead? |
A62729 | If our mutual endeavours did meet one another in the same actions; how could their be accommodation? |
A62729 | If the judgement of one lead him unto Treason by vertue, and the conduct of reason, as he supposeth, must the others too? |
A62729 | If there be such an Amity, what shall I think of my self? |
A62729 | In fine, what end would there be of injuries, if there were not this Good Natur''d quality to bound, and determine them? |
A62729 | In fine, what inward monster hurried on Octavius? |
A62729 | Is it better to be in the storm than in the bay, or to sail in a troubled sea, only that one may sail, than to gain the port of enjoyment? |
A62729 | Is it likeness? |
A62729 | Is it the unity that is between us? |
A62729 | Is there any pleasure in doubts and fears? |
A62729 | Manors without Charity? |
A62729 | Nay, why should not I delight, or at least command my self( sometimes) to want for company? |
A62729 | Or a Mountebank descending from his Coach, or litter to draw a tooth upon the stage? |
A62729 | Or a little start of passion? |
A62729 | Or a slander? |
A62729 | Or can I but desire earnestly my own recovery, and better doing? |
A62729 | Or curiosity of knowing before we venture? |
A62729 | Or do we think, that to give occasion of suspicion by a sullen silence, will be the best way to procure it? |
A62729 | Or how can I have a principle before my self, though it be to love my Creator and Redeemer? |
A62729 | Or how do I distinguish so, as to prefer that in will and reason, which in Nature is the later? |
A62729 | Or how weak to one that is so full of goodness, that he rather accounteth the same to have been but a negligence or omission, or inadvertency? |
A62729 | Or if he be a stranger? |
A62729 | Or serve an apprentiship, if he knew that that should be the best of his time? |
A62729 | Or sloth and want of resolution? |
A62729 | Or the Spring to flow, because the stream is dam''d? |
A62729 | Or the earth to yield its fruit, because the husbandman permits it to rot upon the ground? |
A62729 | Or why should we only wander in the Common, to regard the rude and undisciplin''d? |
A62729 | Otherwise, how should enmities arise? |
A62729 | Shall I add to these, that it is a part of the bounty of a Good Nature, that it delights in mens affections, and real inclinations? |
A62729 | Should we be studying to be wise, when we should use our wisdom? |
A62729 | Should we be studying to excell, where if we did excell,''t were''fit we should suspend the use, to make our selves equal? |
A62729 | Suffer so much in Amorous wooing, and in the remedy be worser ganched then in the malady? |
A62729 | That it thinks it not worth the while to live in this light, if there were not a mutual transmigration into one anothers breasts? |
A62729 | The pack is discerned, and the fraud as covertly returned? |
A62729 | The person of my friend? |
A62729 | Though he entertain''d his friends and partizans at most prodigious charges, when did he ever stick at any of them that halted in their carriere? |
A62729 | What account, what state do we make of our precious selves, while we make so little of our company? |
A62729 | What bounds or limits can circumscribe a thing that is indefinite, according to the goodness of the Relatives? |
A62729 | What can we do for a friend more, than to make him as our self, to adopt him into our bloud, and account him as con- native to us? |
A62729 | What do we think of this? |
A62729 | What do we think? |
A62729 | What hath hesitancy or suspition to do amongst the freer spirits? |
A62729 | What if it were but an escape? |
A62729 | What love and service in the addresses of mind and body? |
A62729 | What shall we say to all this? |
A62729 | What should we stand to dispute, whether vertue be more from Nature, or from Discipline, since that would only be to argue in the figure of the word? |
A62729 | What though the objects be not so accomplished as others? |
A62729 | What though they may have their faults, or miscarriages? |
A62729 | What were all valour, or hardiness, or skill of enterprizing, if there were not patience to endure incommodities, and expect the best seasons? |
A62729 | What wonder if the indignation bare high, and their own tempers suffer''d violence? |
A62729 | What would we have for a word misplaced? |
A62729 | When Pyrrhus, King of Epire, prepared to pass into Italy, Cyneas, a Councellor in esteem with him, demands to what end he made that great preparation? |
A62729 | When we read that Wine, and Women, and Truth are strongest, why was not time thought upon, which conquers and preys on all things? |
A62729 | Whether more? |
A62729 | Whether then do I love my self in Him, or him in me? |
A62729 | While I seem to abstract from sense and pleasure, will not this ingulf me in unwary sensuality? |
A62729 | Who but these confirm us in our doubtful states? |
A62729 | Who but these know our secrets? |
A62729 | Who but these relieve us in our straites? |
A62729 | Who shall judge of it? |
A62729 | Who will carry gold in his pocket, if it be a shame to shew it? |
A62729 | Who would not laugh at a Spanish smith, coming with his long cloak and sword( to be put off, and laid aside in order) to shooe an horse? |
A62729 | Who would not wish and earn for such an acquaintance, and think himself happy to have a part in one, that is( indeed) happy of himself? |
A62729 | Who would undergoe what is necessary in love, or honour, if he knew the vanity of his ends? |
A62729 | Why should I eat alone if I have to spare and others want? |
A62729 | Why should I take up a great room by preoccupation, to straiten others, if I may do as well or( almost) as sweetly with a less? |
A62729 | Why should we stand gazing at the steps and nods of Princes, if not to lead us into error, and admiration? |
A62729 | Will it not also plunge my reason, while agreableness to my fancy is all, that is in view? |
A62729 | Will it suffer it to be extenuated, or argued? |
A62729 | Will revenge let the cause go out of its own hand? |
A62729 | how doth it prefer to live in other breast, more then in its own? |
A62729 | if not, what of these excellent persons, that have dilivered it? |
A23760 | ( for after all these things do the Gentiles seck) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things? |
A23760 | 2. suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? |
A23760 | 5. Who ask, When will the Sabbath be gone, that we may set forth wheat? |
A23760 | 7. what shall then become of those multitudes of men that lye on quite other ends? |
A23760 | A fourth end is said to be the putting away of cares; but I shall ask what those cares are? |
A23760 | And alas, how many are there that have thus made themselves the Devils martyrs? |
A23760 | And good reason, For he that makes no conscience thus to profane Gods name; Why shall any man beleeve, he makes any of lying? |
A23760 | And he that ladeth himself with thick clay: shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee? |
A23760 | And here think, how unworthy a wretch thou art to have done that, which occasioned such torments to him? |
A23760 | And if he the Lord of glory suffered thus meekly and unjustly from his own creatures, with what force can we ever complain of any injury done to us? |
A23760 | And if it shall now be asked, what are the particular acts of this kind which we are to perform? |
A23760 | And of this sort is the flesh, it is an enemy, at our doors, shall I say? |
A23760 | And what cause of that sparing, but his tender compassions towards thee, his unwillingness that thou should''st perish? |
A23760 | And what is now left, but that it utterly sink, and we all perish? |
A23760 | And wilt thou suffer thy Spouse, for whose sake all things were made ● hus bycontinual discords to perish, and go to wrack? |
A23760 | And with what face can you in your greatest nee ● beg for his mercy to your Souls, when you would not as ford them your own? |
A23760 | Are they restrained? |
A23760 | Are ye not, much better then they? |
A23760 | But I would ask such a one whether if that man were drinking rank poison, he would pledg him for company? |
A23760 | But again thirdly, if he do discern his danger, yet how is he sure he shall then be able to repent? |
A23760 | But it may perhaps here be asked, what a person that hath already brought himself into such a condition shall do? |
A23760 | Did ever any think to befriend a man by helping to destroy his estate, his credit, his life? |
A23760 | For first, I would ask any man, that means to repent at his death, how he knows he shall have an hours time for it? |
A23760 | For how can he either confess his sin, that knows not his guilt of it? |
A23760 | For how many times would it cut and burn, and mischief it self, if it might have every thing it desires? |
A23760 | For how shall he that swears hourly, look upon an oath with any reverence and he that doth not? |
A23760 | For who can stretch his hand against the Lords anointed, and be guilt less? |
A23760 | How amiable are thy dwellings, O Lord of Hosts? |
A23760 | How can ye believe, that receive honour one of another? |
A23760 | How fearful a guilt is it then to entertain any such thoughts, as are in themselves wicked? |
A23760 | How horrible an injustice is it then, purposely to bring that loss, and damage on him? |
A23760 | How many of these sacramental vowes have I violated? |
A23760 | How much does the whiteness of the Lilly, and the redness of the Rose exceed the white, and red of the fairest face? |
A23760 | How much worse then his very crucifiers? |
A23760 | How often have I turned my back in the day of battel? |
A23760 | How shall one so ungodly stand in thy Judgment, or such a sinner in the Congregation of the Righteous? |
A23760 | How vainly then do those pretend to this vertue, that are still grudging, and rep ● ning at every good hap of others? |
A23760 | I presume there is no man would willingly undergo this from another, and why then should thou offer it to him? |
A23760 | If I be a Master, saith God, where is my fear? |
A23760 | If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shal reap your carnal things? |
A23760 | Is it not a little one? |
A23760 | Is it not a most ravishing pleasure to him that hath any bowels to see the joy, that a seasonable alms brings to a poor wretch? |
A23760 | My Soul is a thirst for God, even for the living God, when shall I come to appear before the presence of God? |
A23760 | Nay, indeed how can it be said they do love at all, who can contentedly let each other run on in a course that will bring them to eternal misery? |
A23760 | Now examine thy self by this: hast thou this fruit of love to shew? |
A23760 | O God, wherefore art thou absent from us so long? |
A23760 | Shalt thou suffer ● e strong Captain of mischief, whom thou once overthrewest, again 〈 ◊ 〉 invade thy tents, and to spoil thy souldiers? |
A23760 | Shalt thou ● ot turn the wicked mens evils into thy Churches good? |
A23760 | Shalt thou ● ot with thy heavenly policy turn our folly into thy glory? |
A23760 | Shalt thou ● ● ffer the wicked spirits, which be authors and workers of discord, 〈 ◊ 〉 bear such a swing in thy Kingdome unchecked? |
A23760 | Suffered such torments in the pursuit of this sin, as would exceed the invention of the greatest tyrant? |
A23760 | Therefore in that respect also, the Soul is of the greatest worth; and then what strange madnesse is it for us to neglect them as we do? |
A23760 | WHat shall I render unto the Lord for all the benefits he hath done unto me? |
A23760 | What could ye not watch with me one hour? |
A23760 | What shall I render unto the Lord for all these benefits he hath done unto me? |
A23760 | Why art thou so heavy, O my Soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
A23760 | Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say? |
A23760 | Why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture? |
A23760 | Why shouldst thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that can not save? |
A23760 | Will a man rob God? |
A23760 | Woe to him that encreaseth that which is not his, how long? |
A23760 | Yet how many of us fail even in this, how frequent is it to see men, not only neglect to repay courtesies, but return injuries in stead of them? |
A23760 | [ Here recollect some of thy greatest sins] If thou Lord shouldst be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord who may abide it? |
A23760 | and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? |
A23760 | and who can tell that it shal not be his own case? |
A23760 | and why take ye thought for rayment? |
A23760 | be they such as should be put away? |
A23760 | do we not daily see men snatch''d away in a moment? |
A23760 | dost thou make it thy constant and greatest care to keep Gods Commandments? |
A23760 | earnestly labouring to please him to the utmost of thy power, even to the forsaking of what is dearest to thee in this world? |
A23760 | how few are there that can find gratitude, shall I say? |
A23760 | how it revives and puts new spirits in him, that was even sinking? |
A23760 | nay patience for such a courtesie? |
A23760 | or how can he resolve to forsake it, that discerns not himself to have formerly cleaved to it? |
A23760 | or how canst thou expect thy perswasions should work? |
A23760 | to obey him in all things? |
A23760 | what a multitude of creatures is there, that farr surpass man in strength and sweetness? |
A23760 | what hurt is it possible for thee to do to another, which can bear any comparison with that thou doest thy self, in loosing the pardon of thy sins? |
A23760 | which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature? |
A23760 | yet ye have robbed me; yet ye say, wherein have we robbed thee? |
A19641 | & doth not riches ouerthrow his happinesse, if not duly ouer- watcht with Temperance? |
A19641 | Aduexi, exposui, vendo meum non plur is quam ● ● terie fortasse etiam minoris, cum maior est copia, c ● ifit iniuria? |
A19641 | Againe, is he beggerly, hath he no money nor meanes? |
A19641 | Againe, is the minde and body wearied with vnreasonable care and labour? |
A19641 | Againe, who would bend himselfe to Art, Science, Facultie, or any kinde of learning, if there were not some glory? |
A19641 | And to what ende is this great building and cunning Architect? |
A19641 | Are Bees bounde to gather honey for droanes? |
A19641 | But some perhaps will say, it is my owne, and may I not do with mine owne what I will? |
A19641 | Extreames are euer hurtfull; for if a man eate too much or too little, doth it not hurt the body? |
A19641 | For are not their Dialogues puft vp with swelling wordes? |
A19641 | For hath he not broken off the succession of Vertue by wilfull detraction? |
A19641 | For is not Vice set to sale on open Theaters? |
A19641 | For what more fitter occasion to summon all the discontented people together, then Playes? |
A19641 | Hast thou wit, learning, and a vaine to write wickednesse? |
A19641 | I demaund what good doest thou with that little thou hast? |
A19641 | I knew I begat a mortall creature, and being mortall, he must needs die: who could beare such great cause of griefe without some shew of sorrow? |
A19641 | Is not Vertue then more honorable then riches? |
A19641 | Is there a new fashiō come out? |
A19641 | Must not this breede contempt to them and their places, and impeach so holy a function? |
A19641 | Neuerthelesse some will obiect they are necessarie, and fit to be allowed in pollicie: and why so? |
A19641 | Now what aduantage then hath a rich man, that by rewards may purchase immortalitie, and outstrip the furie of Vice with good workes? |
A19641 | Now what are all the goods of this worlde? |
A19641 | Now what is to be found in these bookes? |
A19641 | Now whosoeuer shall discent from this true vse, is no Poet, but a vaine babler: for what are all these scurrillous tales,& bawdie verses? |
A19641 | Oh how odious is this vice to God and good men? |
A19641 | Oh what goods and possessions did my friends leaue me, which are prodigally wasted? |
A19641 | Or if they stuffe their Scene with some one good precept, or well- worded instruction, what power hath that to moue to Vertue? |
A19641 | Perhaps thou wilt say againe, I brought him not to beggery: did I lame him? |
A19641 | Then why seeke you to win the whole world, as though you were immortall, and should neuer dye? |
A19641 | Thus doth might deceiue them: but A ● risacra fames quid non? |
A19641 | What a diuine glory is heere? |
A19641 | What can not this humpish elemēt bring to passe? |
A19641 | What if he dye in the conflict? |
A19641 | What should I say? |
A19641 | What was their happines, but vnquiet& perturbations? |
A19641 | What whoredomes, drunkennesse, swearing, and abhominable Sodomie is daily practised? |
A19641 | When it is for a common defence, is not he a wretch that will sit still and see his mothers throate cut? |
A19641 | Why how can I giue that( quoth he) that am but a mortall man? |
A19641 | Wilt thou build thy safetie vpon a sure foundation? |
A19641 | according to his owne abilitie, and the others necessitie: and when? |
A19641 | and are they not growne odious to good men, and ill reported of? |
A19641 | and beare the repulse of superiour rebukes, thē to part with ought shall contradict their froward nature: is this the dutie of good subiects? |
A19641 | and cause the son to betray his owne Father? |
A19641 | and doo they not labour in vaine cunning to infect and poison delicate youth ●? |
A19641 | and how dooth it putrifie and contaminate body and soule, and yet how plentifully doth it raigne in most places without suppression? |
A19641 | and made more forcible by gesture and outward action? |
A19641 | and must I keepe life in rattes and myce, and such vermine as are bred by the infection of a plentious yeare? |
A19641 | and shall not all prodigall spend- thrifts, that wastfully consume their wealth, be partakers of the like shame? |
A19641 | and those vices that mustered about my young yeares, how soone might I haue supprest them? |
A19641 | and what is all painfull and ponderous labours but a copweb? |
A19641 | and will they not wrest and winde lawes to their owne sence, if they may saue but a penny? |
A19641 | are not there idle Poems of carnall loue, lust, and ● nchaste arguments? |
A19641 | are not theyr arguments pleasing and rauishing? |
A19641 | are these indifferent to bee vsed? |
A19641 | are they not like smoake and vapours, which vanish with the Sunne? |
A19641 | are they not vsurers, extortioners, proud persons, and so cold in charitie, that no Christian dutie can heat their loue? |
A19641 | brand him for a knaue, and turne him out at his gates? |
A19641 | but then being young and foolish, am now olde and beggerly: to whom shall I communicate my griefe, that will yeeld succour? |
A19641 | but what a commemoration is here? |
A19641 | can a man without offence brag of the Vertues of his auncients, if his owne life be vitious? |
A19641 | can it not couer a masse of ill humors? |
A19641 | did I vnparell him? |
A19641 | do these moue to Vertue with honest delight? |
A19641 | do these seeke the peace of the state? |
A19641 | do they not crie for vengeance to heauen? |
A19641 | do they not defame, discredit, and reproach Vertue and honestie, by expounding Vice with large comments? |
A19641 | do they not steale away all holy deuotion, poyson good wits, and corrupt young people? |
A19641 | doo they not seeke to subuert and weaken the state as much as they can, by with- holding that part of dutie required by the lawe of nature? |
A19641 | doth it not inuite and call vpon Magistrates to draw the sword of reformation? |
A19641 | doth it not raise a man to immortalitie? |
A19641 | for are they not full of Paganisme and ribald speeches, to stirre vp the mind to shady idlenesse? |
A19641 | for do they not with glosing words tickle and stirre vp the affections to be conceited of some fond passion, to be more vngraciously subtill? |
A19641 | for doo they not vse more vaine eloquence then confidence in matters of wisedome? |
A19641 | for what moueth the Lawier to beate his wits on Littletons Maximes? |
A19641 | how often did they seeke to reclaime me with good counsell if I had bene gracious? |
A19641 | how ought this feast to be celebrated in magnifying the Almightie, and lauding his name for so great a benefite? |
A19641 | if the wicked call to goe, will they not run ▪ will they not dice, carde, sweare, swagger, and be drunke? |
A19641 | is he not now a Gentleman, and hath wherewithall to hold it vp? |
A19641 | is not that humble reuerence of the oracles of God, hereby blasphemed, and basely scorned? |
A19641 | is not this the way to make men ripe in all kinde of villanie, and corrupt the manners of the whole world? |
A19641 | is this Poetrie? |
A19641 | it is no sound argument, to dispence with one to eschew the other, and so by shunning Carribdis, fall vpon Scilla: but how shall we spend the time? |
A19641 | nay doo they not rather stirre vp bawdrie and beastlinesse? |
A19641 | no doubt he would be as rigorous as so leaude a prancke should deserue: why then how do they thinke to escape? |

A19641 | or a vertuous memorie of his auncestors, if hee follow not their example? |
A19641 | or did I vnhouse him? |
A19641 | or how thinke they, that that offence can be remitted, which is abhorred, detested,& so expresly prohibited in the sixt Commaundement? |
A19641 | or if superiours and magistrates, giue not good example in their places, how should they induce other to pietie? |
A19641 | or spotting the soule with wickednesse, that he becommeth the very sonne of Beliall? |
A19641 | or the Phisition to diue into the secrets of nature, if they aymed not at preferment? |
A19641 | or to be so earnest to finde out the differences of causes, to bring them to a head, but glory? |
A19641 | or what doth great birth auaile if hee debase it by his ill life? |
A19641 | robbing and theeuering, whereof commeth hanging? |

A19641 | wherfore then should I recompence him whom I neuer wronged? |
A19641 | will they not brabble and sophisticate for verye small payments? |
A19641 | yea: is he rich, and hath he great possessions? |
A33912 | 28. calls the Patrons of Chaplains their Masters; and will any Man be so hardy as to question the Judgment and Determination of the Parliament? |
A33912 | A Being which he would not only hate as soon as it was made; but, which is more, he could impute his Dislike to nothing but his own Workmanship? |
A33912 | And can we suppose that God would underfurnish Man for the State he designed him, and not afford him a Soul large enough to pursue his Happiness? |
A33912 | And does it not plainly follow, That those who are thus sensibly Touched, must have a real Kindness for the Unfortunate? |
A33912 | And if they may use this Expedient to please them when they have them; why may they not do it that they may please to have them? |
A33912 | And is it not a hard Case that we must either deliver up all our Property to the Crown; or our Lives to every ungovernable Passion and Caprice? |
A33912 | And is it not a ridiculous Vanity to value our selves upon what we borrow from Creatures below Reason and Life? |
A33912 | And is it possible to conceive, That Goodness and Perfection can be the Parent of so unlovely an Off- spring? |
A33912 | And since we have thus fairly distinguished our selves by Merit, why should we seem unapprehensive of our Performances? |
A33912 | And to come nearer our Northern Ancestors; Why do n''t we vindicate our selves by Tryal Ordeal? |
A33912 | And what a disagreable Mixture of Poverty and Riches do we see sometimes within the same Walls? |
A33912 | And what help is there for all this? |
A33912 | And what then? |
A33912 | And when Things are a Satyr upon themselves, who can help it? |
A33912 | And why should we be tied up to the Dictates of Paganism and Ignorance? |
A33912 | And will they account any Person infamous for the Regularity of his Behaviour? |
A33912 | And will you venture your All upon a Cause which would be Hissed out of all the Courts of England as ridiculous? |
A33912 | Are Law and Justice such Phantoms, that a Spanish Rhodomontade should make them vanish? |

A33912 | Bishops or Presbyters we know, and Deacons we know, but what are Chaplains? |
A33912 | But I beseech you what is all this to the business of Pride? |
A33912 | But by the way, I thought you laid somewhat of an Accent upon their Habit; were they too Fine for you? |
A33912 | But can we receive no other Advantages from Nobility, but what have been hinted already? |
A33912 | But for all that, I do n''t like a Man that can hate at first Sight, and kill Extempore? |
A33912 | But if they should happen to take too much upon them, are the People to slight them upon this account? |
A33912 | But suppose they were, what then? |
A33912 | But what do you think of Magistrates? |
A33912 | But what needs all this Scruple? |
A33912 | But will this Notion spread wide enough to do any Execution? |
A33912 | By their Habit and Equipage they seem to be Persons of Condition, and therefore you know the Appointment must be well remembred? |

A33912 | Do you think then this Custom is so absolutely forbidden by Religion? |

A33912 | How unlike a Benefactor does he look who sets an Excise upon his bare Word, and clogs the expectation of future Advantage with present Inconvenience? |

A33912 | That the over- flowing Generousness of the Divine Nature, would create immortal Beings with mean or envious Principles? |
A33912 | That would be a little Fulsom I confess; But is the Case the same? |
A33912 | The Rays of good Fortune from all diversities of Points ▪ concenter in his Benevolence, and excite an intense and multiplied Pleasure? |
A33912 | The Reason of your censure? |
A33912 | Then if the Curate does all the work, ought he not to have the reward for his pains? |
A33912 | Then if they seem to undervalue it themselves, is not this the way to bring it into a general disrepute? |
A33912 | Then ought not he to have the Revenues who performs these Duties? |
A33912 | Those who live many miles distant from the Premises? |
A33912 | To expose his person as freely as if he knew himself immortal, and to fear nothing but Obscurity and Disgrace? |
A33912 | To my thinking you have not cleared the Point; For why may we not insist upon the privileges of Nature? |
A33912 | To what end were the Church Revenues intended? |
A33912 | WHether so fast this Morning, methinks you are somewhat earlier than usual? |
A33912 | Well, but does not the Parson make choice of him, and pay him? |
A33912 | Well; What though our Minds were poor, and unfurnished at first, is it any disparagement to us to have more Wit than we were born with? |
A33912 | What Claim can we make to Privilege or Property without it? |
A33912 | What Profession do you mean? |
A33912 | What Provision do you mean? |
A33912 | What Records can you produce? |
A33912 | What Tenure? |
A33912 | What a broad Innuendo is here upon the beneficed Clergy? |
A33912 | What are the usual steps to Honour? |
A33912 | What can the Raillery, the Reproaches, the supercilious Censures of this Sect signifie? |
A33912 | What do you mean? |
A33912 | What do you mean? |
A33912 | What do you say to the fear of receiving Harm, and the hopes of Assistance? |
A33912 | What do you think of those below the Gentry, ought they not to be somewhat Frugal, and Unpretending in their Appearance? |
A33912 | What if I understood the Practice as little as you do? |
A33912 | What if a man has not a mind to quarrel, must he be turn''d out of his Dignity for being of a peaceable Disposition? |
A33912 | What if the Gentility was purchased, I hope we may make the best of what we have paid for? |
A33912 | What if the under Sort of People should take the Hint, and practice upon it, in the Instance of Property? |
A33912 | What if they are disabled by age? |
A33912 | What in your apprehension is a Curate''s Employment? |
A33912 | What is it that fastens this Soder, and links these first Principles of Bodies into a Chain? |
A33912 | What is that which they call the Mystery of Trade? |
A33912 | What is that? |
A33912 | What is that? |
A33912 | What is that? |
A33912 | What is that? |
A33912 | What of all Perswasions, Countries, Tempers, and Conditions, whatsoever? |
A33912 | What pretences are those? |
A33912 | What then? |
A33912 | What then? |
A33912 | What then? |
A33912 | What tho some People are unlucky, ought their misfortunes to be pleaded to the prejudice of Desert in others? |
A33912 | What though we ca n''t strike out a Science at a Heat, but are forced to polish our selves by degrees, and to work hard for what we have? |
A33912 | What was that? |
A33912 | What would you have me complain to a Magistrate when a Man gives me the Lye, or any such sort of Affront? |
A33912 | What''s that? |
A33912 | What, because a Lord of a Mannour has not always a Commission, must he be allowed no better Cloaths than a Cottager? |
A33912 | When a Woman of Fortune marries a Man with nothing, does she not give him Meat, Drink, and Wages to govern her? |
A33912 | Whether the Criterions of Truth and Falshood were clear and indubitable or not? |
A33912 | Whether the Government of the World was casual, fatal, or providential? |
A33912 | Which way? |
A33912 | Which way? |
A33912 | Who doubts of their being Servants? |
A33912 | Who questions it? |
A33912 | Who would expect such Flights of Conceit from so humble Pretences? |
A33912 | Why may not the same little Charm be practised to Begin, as well as to Entertain the Relation? |
A33912 | Why should I enquire so anxiously how my Ancestors came by their Estate? |
A33912 | Why should They be raised above their Principle, and rated higher than their own Valuation? |
A33912 | Why should a fine Woman be so prodigal of her Beauty, make strip and waste of her Complexion, and squander away her Face for nothing? |
A33912 | Why should we be more Slaves to the Goverment than others, I''m sure we do not get so much by it? |
A33912 | Why so Tragical? |
A33912 | Why so? |
A33912 | Why so? |
A33912 | Why, is it not of kin to Treason to say the Subjects are Masters over the Supreme Authority? |
A33912 | Will this Disposition do us any farther Service? |
A33912 | Will you take away a Man''s Life upon a Provocation for which no Government will allow you Six- penny worth of Damages? |
A33912 | Would it not look odly in a Souldier to give in a History of his Valour and Conduct in Conversation? |
A33912 | Would you have a Man a Stock, must he not be sensible of ill Usage? |
A33912 | You are going to describe Alexander or Cesar; do you think that every Field, or Charge in Gules, can pretend to all these fine things? |
A33912 | Your Reason? |
A36902 | ''T is much it should be so: But what is''t they expect? |
A36902 | A Bargain Father: Of what, pray let us understand a little? |
A36902 | A Catch- pole? |
A36902 | A Iew say you was he that first Invented the Taleys, and brought''em acquainted with Usery and Extortion? |
A36902 | A Letter or so perhaps about Mer ● handize? |
A36902 | A very fine Trade, and is this your profession? |
A36902 | A ● d have you 〈 … 〉 Randevous? |
A36902 | Alas Sir, you talk of strange matters: what are there any Ghost? |
A36902 | And are the Villagers kind to such a strooling Tribe? |
A36902 | And can you tell us where to find them, now you know their Names? |
A36902 | And did this satisfie their Relations? |
A36902 | And did you take it on you? |
A36902 | And did your Conscience sleep the while? |
A36902 | And do you think it was but acted, 〈 ◊ 〉 not real; can you be so impartial? |
A36902 | And does not one good turn deserve another? |
A36902 | And how came you off in that case? |
A36902 | And is it nothing so? |
A36902 | And is so great a Wisdom your''s? |
A36902 | And is this fair? |
A36902 | And is this in your power? |
A36902 | And may be so till this time Fortnight for ought I know; but pray who are they? |
A36902 | And may not that be safely done? |
A36902 | And must I rest upon that: 〈 ◊ 〉 if I ca n''t believe you? |
A36902 | And no where else? |
A36902 | And ought to be relieved, ought they not? |
A36902 | And pray did you hear how he entertained them? |
A36902 | And suppose I had both, what then? |
A36902 | And therefore you are going to inhabit the Mountain of Fond- imagination? |
A36902 | And they returned upon this, di ● they not? |
A36902 | And this pleased you not? |
A36902 | And to what purpose serve these? |
A36902 | And was you never call''d to give account for this, was no notice taken on''t? |
A36902 | And what is it you further intend in this new undertaking? |
A36902 | And what succeeded this disorder? |
A36902 | And what then Sir, may not I be a Plain- dealer for all that? |
A36902 | And what''s your business with him 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A36902 | And where was you Born, remember you the place of your Nativity? |
A36902 | And where was your Conscience all this while? |
A36902 | And you''l do''t, if it be in your power? |
A36902 | Are they Men or Women? |
A36902 | Are they so hard to be found then? |
A36902 | Are you acquainted in these parts? |
A36902 | Are you acquainted with him, is he your Neighbour? |
A36902 | Are you known in these parts Sir? |
A36902 | Are you of this World, or that beneath us, that you came crawling out of the Ground like an Insect? |
A36902 | Art is indeed to be admir''d by all, But who are they the Sons of Art we call? |
A36902 | As how, let us hear a little? |
A36902 | As how, let''s hear a little? |
A36902 | As how, pray let me understand? |
A36902 | As how: Pray by what means could it be done? |
A36902 | Ay Sir, but what will People say, when they perceive the Storm of grief I raised so soon blown over? |
A36902 | Ay doubtless: I think you say you are a Gentleman and a great Schollar? |
A36902 | Ay marry did I, and since I have crept up amain; but what is''t you drink Gentlemen, I hope you do n''t come to trouble my House for nothing? |
A36902 | Ay, Honesty and Plain- dealing, do you know them Sir? |
A36902 | Ay, I think I am: But what 〈 ◊ 〉 that pray? |
A36902 | Ay, ay, you say very right: But can you think it? |
A36902 | Be intelligable; ay, ay, and what is it you''d have me intelligence about? |
A36902 | But Gentlemen, did you see me creep out of my Cave? |
A36902 | But Sir, to let that pass, do you know one Goodman Honesty and his Brother Plain- dealing in these parts, are they any of your Tribe pray? |
A36902 | But again have you not heard of''em? |
A36902 | But are they not often Intercepted in the course of such deceiving? |
A36902 | But did not Conscience check you ● eitterating those inhumane Practices? |
A36902 | But for what pray, what is the m ● aning of all this bluster? |
A36902 | But how came you at first to divorce her? |
A36902 | But how came you to the Fingering on them? |
A36902 | But met you with none that were rough and untractable? |
A36902 | But perhaps you might find them Travelling on the Road or so? |
A36902 | But prethee what Answer did you make her? |
A36902 | But some perhaps would not swallow this Bait? |
A36902 | But their Names Sir, have you not their Names? |
A36902 | But think you that security will always last? |
A36902 | But to what Resolution came you next? |
A36902 | But what are they pray? |
A36902 | But what insued? |
A36902 | But wo n''t you hear Reason? |
A36902 | Can you Conjure Friend? |
A36902 | Come blush 〈 ◊ 〉 thus, nor turn away your lovely Face; 〈 ◊ 〉, shall it be the next? |
A36902 | Come, come, let me whisper you the Ear: You shall go half snacks with me the business, that I hope will please you? |
A36902 | Dare you be thus impertinent to me? |
A36902 | Dec, What can it do less? |
A36902 | Did you know them friend? |
A36902 | Diveing, for what? |
A36902 | Do they use to ● requent this Road? |
A36902 | Do you remember them? |
A36902 | Do you think any harm on them? |
A36902 | Friend how far are you Travelling this way? |
A36902 | Friend know you Honesty and Plain- dealing, have you made any Garments for''em of late? |
A36902 | Friend whether are you Travelling? |
A36902 | Friend why are you thus inraged, what have I done, thus to incurr your anger? |
A36902 | Friend, are you acquainted in these parts? |
A36902 | Friend, how comes it that you Travel with such a Burthen? |
A36902 | Friend, how far came you, that you are thus disordered with heat? |
A36902 | Friend, how goes preferment in the World? |
A36902 | Games, was you for Gameing too? |
A36902 | Halo, said Discovery, why so agast prethee? |
A36902 | Has Plain- dealing nothing neither to do in your profession? |
A36902 | Have you a Habitation in these parts, or are you of some remoater part of the World? |
A36902 | Have you not heard of him of late? |
A36902 | Have you 〈 … 〉 progress Honesty and Plain- 〈 … 〉 after? |
A36902 | Hey day, and what do you infer from all this? |
A36902 | Honesty and Plain- dealing say you? |
A36902 | How Courted when so old and withered: But pray Sir by which Sex is it ye are Courted? |
A36902 | How Sir, is not Honesty your Brother? |
A36902 | How Trades- men, and stand at defiance with Honesty and Plain Dealing? |
A36902 | How are they Ruin''d then? |
A36902 | How do you Laugh Gentlemen? |
A36902 | How, the Garments of Charity; why she has gone Naked this many a day: and how then should I come by her Garments, pray tell me that? |
A36902 | How, upon my Heart: Why how can I come at them to read them then? |
A36902 | I believe so, for you somewhat resemble him: But pray what is your business in this World? |
A36902 | If you know nothing of that, how can you inform us where to find them? |
A36902 | In the first place, Sir what street do you call this, for I''m a stranger in this place? |
A36902 | In what manner Dive you, as Plundging into the Water, or so? |
A36902 | Is Plain- dealing none of your Guest neither? |
A36902 | It may be I do, or it may be I do not: But what is your business with me now I am found? |
A36902 | It may be so, but ca n''t I inquire? |
A36902 | Knew they that you were 〈 … 〉 the Streets, and tread the paths of wickedness? |
A36902 | Know you not there is a Tophet hot as Eternal Wrath can make it? |
A36902 | Make Almanacks, that''s pritty: But pray what is''t you infer from thence? |
A36902 | Manus and Domus, pray Sir what 〈 ◊ 〉 they signifie? |
A36902 | More is the pitty: But now you talk of business in the World, have you ever met with Honesty and Plain- dealing in your Travels? |
A36902 | My business is to find out Honesty and Plain- dealing: Can you direct me to their house Friend? |
A36902 | Nay Sir, what is''t you ● ean? |
A36902 | Nay, nay, reason me no reason, practice is practice: but why do I thus spend my Breath without a fee? |
A36902 | No Sir, we are all Masters, or at least all Good men: Why I hope you do n''t take this for a Country Village? |
A36902 | No matter which if you know them: do you know them? |
A36902 | No verily, I believe not: But have you been in no other Road than this? |
A36902 | Now you have underfelt me, I hope you take me for a Schollar do n''t you? |
A36902 | O part us not? |
A36902 | Perhaps they may Sojourn here about for a night or two? |
A36902 | Pish, for an Estate, who would 〈 ◊ 〉 take pains? |
A36902 | Policy indeed goes a great way, but Sir, can you direct me how I may find one Goodman Honesty in these parts? |
A36902 | Pray have you heard of late where Honesty and Plain- dealing have taken up their quarters? |
A36902 | Pray what 〈 ◊ 〉 ● our business be in the World? |
A36902 | Pray you Sir what make you stand at this distance? |
A36902 | Right, but now you talk of Charity, prethee what''s become on her, since we gave her such sharp answers as made her despair of doing any good with us? |
A36902 | Self- c. Ay marry am I: Pray Sir do you question it? |
A36902 | Self- c. Ay, ah, how can they do otherwise? |
A36902 | Self- c. Ay, ay, Manus and Domus, that''s their construction; what construction would you have them have? |
A36902 | Self- c. How silly you are, what do they signifie: Why they signifie Manus and Domus, what would you have them signifie else? |
A36902 | Self- c. What do you laugh Sir? |
A36902 | Sir does this place call you Master, know you all your Neighbours here about? |
A36902 | Sir, who are you that are thus made up of redicule? |
A36902 | That was unkindly done, but prethee 〈 ◊ 〉 did''st compass it? |
A36902 | That''s strange in one arrived at your Maturity: What may your business be it''h World, that you should be so ignorant? |
A36902 | That''s strange: But pray will you give a body an insight into this business, that has nothing to do with Honesty and Plain- dealing? |
A36902 | The day for what — pray what day, 〈 ◊ 〉 day is it you''d have me set? |
A36902 | Then pray Sir ● ell me the Names of the Party''s I''m searching after, and whether I shall find them or not? |
A36902 | Then you are not the Son of Honesty, but a meer Pretender, the same I took you for at first? |
A36902 | Then you deceive''em? |
A36902 | Then you have no business with those 〈 … 〉? |
A36902 | Then you have none it seems? |
A36902 | Then you know not the men we inquire for, you are not acquainted with them? |
A36902 | These are to let you know that I am sent to you from Wisdom the Queen of Vertues, to import many things to you; know you her Seal Sir? |
A36902 | This is very pretty: but have they 〈 ◊ 〉 construction? |
A36902 | This still increases my wonder? |
A36902 | This was something barbarous? |
A36902 | To both I answer in the affirmative, but pray Sir why inquire you? |
A36902 | Truly I have heard something of him in my time, pray what should he be, a House- keeper or an Inn- mate, or what Country man is he? |
A36902 | Unless you mean my Oven Sir, I understand you not, a Tophet said he, that''s a ● ramp word; what of that, is it a place to Bake Loaves in? |
A36902 | Very fine Sir, But are you acquainted with Plain- Dealing and his Brother Honesty? |
A36902 | Very fine; and you admire your self 〈 ◊ 〉 I suppose? |
A36902 | Very good, and this folly is predominant? |
A36902 | Was Conscience sawcy? |
A36902 | Well I have a strugling in Breast? |
A36902 | Well met Sir, pray why in so much hast? |
A36902 | What dos he talk Scripture to us? |
A36902 | What madding Fools, does Ielozie make men? |
A36902 | What may your Profession be Father? |
A36902 | What shall I do? |
A36902 | What then, pray how managed you 〈 ◊ 〉 after game? |
A36902 | What won you say Haunestay and Pla ● ●-Daulin, thoat''s whaint? |
A36902 | Whay waud whoo knaw? |
A36902 | Where is your Brother? |
A36902 | Who am I Sir? |
A36902 | Who are you Sir, that ask me such a question? |
A36902 | Who are you Sirrah, that dare be so sawcy to demand such a question? |
A36902 | Why are there a great many possessions vacant? |
A36902 | Why are you thus disturbed Friend, is our presence so Offensive? |
A36902 | Why is it any harm friend to know them? |
A36902 | Why is not this Pretenders Street, have you no Mansion here? |
A36902 | Why so Agast, do you take us for Goblins? |
A36902 | Why then it seems you question 〈 ◊ 〉 truth of what I have told you? |
A36902 | Why there''s it now, and would you have a Taylor have any thing to do with them? |
A36902 | Why what if we are, or what if we are not? |
A36902 | Why who ever heard of a Taylo ● s Conscience prethee? |
A36902 | Why''t is Honesty himself that we are in search of: can you direct us where we may find him? |
A36902 | Would your Conscience serve you misuse Men who are Vertues Friends? |
A36902 | Yess we think we did, and are desirous to know your profession? |
A36902 | You call the Celestial Intelligences by their Names I suppose? |
A36902 | You have Read many Books I suppose, and are a great Linguist? |
A36902 | You know their Names I hope? |
A36902 | You look friend as if you were in heaviness, pray what afflicts you? |
A36902 | You talk like a person with a sick fancy, is your Braines crazed friend? |
A36902 | Your Kindred it seems then are many, and have spread themselves wide? |
A36902 | Your Materials: as what? |
A36902 | and what of that? |
A36902 | are you a great Shollar? |
A36902 | as how: Pray what is offered, that may reasonably give offence? |
A36902 | can you dispench with this? |
A36902 | have you had any acquaintance with either of them? |
A36902 | how contrived you to get them so safely into your Clutches? |
A36902 | how faires the Darling of Virtue? |
A36902 | how is Honesty put to sale? |
A36902 | is the World bewitch''d so to be used, and pay for such disasters? |
A36902 | nay to have conversation with them? |
A36902 | or Unmarried, Old or Young? |
A36902 | said she, had I but dyed to follow thee my Love, how should I have been blest you cruel powers ▪ Why did you thus divide us? |
A36902 | that''s a good one: Why would you debar us trying practices? |
A36902 | then have you had formerly any acquaintance with them? |
A36902 | then you are the Son of a Weaver it seems, but only you are refined into Gentility, by Learning and the like? |
A36902 | was no further inquiry made after them when missing? |
A36902 | were they so dreadful then? |
A36902 | what mean you by it? |
A36902 | what''s all this you run upon? |
A36902 | why must I fly then? |
A36902 | why sure it can not be: But if it be so, pray tell us by what means it was effected? |
A36902 | why sure you an''t in earnest? |
A36902 | will it indeed and in very good earnest? |
A36902 | you are not sure so desperate? |
A36902 | — Hum, — in Latin say you? |
A36902 | — Stay let us see, — who can this be? |
A36902 | ● rethee Fellow what''s the reason you are so shie, why shun you us at this rate? |
A36902 | ● ut to wave this way of fooling prethee Friend can you tell me where a man may find Honesty and Plain- dealing? |
A33913 | ''T is said, That Friendship either finds People equal, or makes them so: Do you think it so much a Leveller as this comes to? |
A33913 | ''T is true, they are old when they maintain these Opinions, but were they not young when they took them them up? |
A33913 | A Name is but a weak Representation: And if the Piece was never so well finished, what signifies that which is never seen? |
A33913 | And am I to admire a Man because he will use himself ill, to use me worse? |
A33913 | And are we in love with a Wolf for his diligence, or a Highway- man for being on the Road late, and in bad weather? |
A33913 | And are you acquainted with all the Powers in Being? |
A33913 | And as for Alexander, what extent of Country did he Ravage, and how many Thousands were sacrificed to his Caprice? |
A33913 | And can they think it worth their while to be remember''d by such Tokens as these? |
A33913 | And can we then be sorry to see our Voyage fixt, and start back when we are just Embarking? |
A33913 | And does any Man think to make more of the World than Solomon? |
A33913 | And if so, why should I grudge him the Possession? |
A33913 | And is it worth ones while thus to value Life, above the Ends and Purposes of Living? |
A33913 | And pray where is the Harm on''t, if it should be so? |
A33913 | And to foretell how strangely the Ballance of Force and Inclination may be turned? |
A33913 | And to impose upon the Ignorance, or Necessity, of a Neighbour? |
A33913 | And to take care that he slips no Opportunity of Being unhappy? |
A33913 | And was it as great as the Proverb makes it? |
A33913 | And what Vigour is it that gives them such an Instantaneous Production? |
A33913 | And what affinity has Thinking with such Attributes as these? |
A33913 | And what is this fine Freedom after all that these Sparks can help them to? |
A33913 | And when we are engag''d in these honourable Exercises, and proving the most formidable Evils to be tolerable; are we Insignificant all this while? |
A33913 | And why is it so? |
A33913 | And why should they prefer the Judgment of their own Youth, to that of a later Generation? |
A33913 | And why then should I put my self in his Power to no Purpose? |
A33913 | Are not Secrets in Reserve, ungenerous Suspitions; and inconsistent with the Confidences of Friendship? |
A33913 | Are not the greatest Men oftentimes strongly dispos''d for Friendship? |
A33913 | Are the Pleasures of it so inviting, and rapturous? |
A33913 | Are the spaces of Life not ill fill''d up? |
A33913 | Are we to cry, like ill- managed Children, for every Thing before us? |
A33913 | Are you sure your Idea of Matter is compleat? |
A33913 | Besides; are no Favours valuable but those which last a Man''s Life time? |
A33913 | But how can this be? |
A33913 | But is it not a sad Thing to fall thus plumb into the Grave? |
A33913 | But is it not extravagant to expect a Miracle? |

A67866 | & c. Againe, Whither will he go, that we shall not finde him? |
A67866 | Againe, Art thou loosed from a wife? |
A67866 | Also when Iobs wife said to her husband: Doest thou abide in thy integritie? |
A67866 | And did not he make one? |
A67866 | And finally, doth he not giue a cleane contrary commandement to that wicked custome of diuorcement, and marrying of others? |
A67866 | And how can we possibly deuise to violate and breake this commandement more contumeliously, then to yoke our selues in marriage with the vnfaithfull? |
A67866 | And how cometh this to passe, that the parents owne dung is cast in their faces by their owne children, in mocking and despising of them? |
A67866 | And is it not a token of great hatred, to be a meanes of anothers destruction? |

A67866 | Doth a King trample on his crowne? |
A67866 | Doth he maruell, that his children and seruants feare not him, whereas he himselfe feareth not the Lord? |
A67866 | Doth he not call them to the first institution, when God made but one, and that because he would haue a godly seede, and not an adulterous generation? |
A67866 | Doth he not further say, that in putting away the wife, they did nothing else but couer iniury, vnder pretence of his law, as with a garment? |

A67866 | For who should teach and informe the childe, but they which haue the gouernment and commanding of him? |
A67866 | For will God be where he may not rule, but must be an vnderling, and stand and looke on, when profit and pleasure shall be serued, and aloft? |
A67866 | For, from whence commeth this disguised and monstrous apparell, but from wanton and dissolute education of youth? |

A67866 | He that hath made me in the wombe, hath he not made him? |
A67866 | How art thou fallen from heauen, ô Lucifer, sonne of the morning? |
A67866 | How can they correct them for the faults which they themselues vse? |
A67866 | How much lesse then ought men to eate and drinke of that for which their seruants do venter the liues of their soules? |
A67866 | How much rather ought they to put this in practise, who by the bond of marriage are made one flesh? |
A67866 | How shall they be reconciled vnto God, but by hearing his messengers, into whose mouthes he hath put the word of reconciliation? |
A67866 | How shall they belieue, and so be begotten againe, by the seede of the word, except they heare such as God sendeth, for the begetting of men vnto him? |
A67866 | How shall they grow in faith, and increase in grace, but by receiuing with meeknesse the ingrafted word, which is able to saue their soules? |
A67866 | How sweete is the name of friendship? |
A67866 | How therefore can parents excuse themselues, when their children remaine vntaught in those things that concerne the glory of God and life euerlasting? |
A67866 | If God should measure out his goodnesse to thee, as thou measurest honour and glory to him, in what a case wert thou? |
A67866 | If I had oppressed others, how should I haue escaped Gods iudgement?) |
A67866 | If adulterie may separate marriage, shall not idolatr y hinder marriage, which is worse then it? |
A67866 | If this were not so, how could the parties keepe the commandements of God, giuing them direction whom to marrie? |
A67866 | If we shall make an account for idle words, what shall we do for idle hands, for idle feete, for idle body, for idle soule? |
A67866 | Is it not much more to be tilled, because it is onely one? |
A67866 | Is not this he? |
A67866 | Is there no time to shew our duty towards men, but euen then when we are about Gods seruice? |
A67866 | Is this deuotion becomming Gods house? |
A67866 | Is this religion? |
A67866 | Nay, what shall we do more for them then for the bruite beasts and cattell that worke vnder vs? |
A67866 | Now when thou shalt see such sinnes to be in thy children, enter into thine owne heart, examine thy selfe whether they are not come from thee? |
A67866 | Oh how happie are those in whom faith, loue, and godlinesse are married together, before they marrie themselues? |
A67866 | Or with whom, should she weepe and mourne, rather then with her owne flesh? |
A67866 | Parents are bound by the law of nature to loue their children: for what a crueltie were it, not to loue them that they haue begotten and borne? |
A67866 | She is come to thee as to a Sanctuary, to defend her from hurt: and canst thou hurt her thy selfe? |
A67866 | So then, if a man aske whether he might strike his wife? |
A67866 | The Angell asked Abraham, Where is thy wife? |
A67866 | The same is said of the conceited man, Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceit? |
A67866 | The slothfull will not plough, because of Winter: but what is his reward? |
A67866 | Then how much more effectuall ought the sweete name of Mother to be, which is full of incredible loue? |

A02520 | why art thou not as well displeased that thou must be old? |
A02520 | why did he bow downe his head but to invite thee? |
A02520 | why did he stretch forth his blessed hands upon the crosse, but to receive thee? |
A02520 | why hath he treasured up such orient and pleasing colours in graines and fishes, if not for the use and behoofe of man? |
A02520 | why vvas his precious side opened, but that he might take thee into his heart? |
A02520 | will it come the later for thy feare? |
A02520 | ● Nunquid Ovis Lupum persequitur? |
A43583 | ''t is said, that Hezekiah wept sore: Why so? |
A43583 | Affliction is Gods Physick, which makes sick, but prepares for sweet health; and shall we frustrate Gods ends in this also? |
A43583 | Ah, Sirs, what think you? |
A43583 | Alas what have any of us, but what we have received? |
A43583 | Alas, Sirs, is Eternity nothing with you? |
A43583 | Alas, what Merit, either of congruity or condignity, can there be in Man to obtain Heaven? |
A43583 | Alas, what is Heaven to us unless we be fit for it? |
A43583 | Alas, what loveliness could God see or foresee in us to make us Children, then heirs of God, joynt- heirs with Christ? |
A43583 | Alas, what should a Fool do with a great Estate? |
A43583 | Alas, will you trust the Fiend of Hell to bring you to Heaven? |
A43583 | Am I an adopted child of God? |
A43583 | Am I converted to God, and brought through the pangs of regeneration? |
A43583 | Am I justified? |
A43583 | And are not they fools that trust these, and will not try by the word what they affirm? |
A43583 | And are these think you, fit for this Heavenly imployment to all Eternity? |
A43583 | And are you content to do so in temporals? |
A43583 | And are you not certain whether you do enter by death into eternal happiness or misery, and yet can you be quiet? |
A43583 | And can we have that comfort and confidence in meeting the Bridegroom of our Souls as is fit? |
A43583 | And can we think God will carry them to Heaven that never struck a right stroke, or never did one hours work for God, that he would accept? |
A43583 | And can you think to escape the strict tryal of the omniscient God? |
A43583 | And have not such dayes and duties been solemn heart- melting opportunities? |
A43583 | And have you solemnly and faithfully tryed your title to Heaven? |
A43583 | And have you the Spirit of his Son in your hearts to cry Abba Father? |
A43583 | And if God glorifie his Justice in thy confusion, thy mouth is stopped, and thou must justifie him for ever with flames about thine Eares? |
A43583 | And if thou be conscious of giving them just occasion, thou confessest thy fault and humblest thy self to them? |
A43583 | And if you feel unruly motions, can you pray them down, and through grace calm them? |
A43583 | And indeed to what purpose should they or we live, when our work is done? |
A43583 | And is not every Mercy sweetened by thankfulness? |
A43583 | And is not thankfulness a natural duty? |
A43583 | And must he falsifie his word to gratifie you? |
A43583 | And the Haven to the weather- beaten Mariner? |
A43583 | And this thou canst truly say, that God is more thy exceeding joy, and Christ more precious to thy Soul then ever? |
A43583 | And thou canst not be quiet till thou seekest Reconciliation? |
A43583 | And what bold intruder art thou, that darest expect to claim such an Inheritance as Heaven without the relation of a Son? |
A43583 | And will you madly venture your immortal Souls on such grounds as you dare not try? |
A43583 | Are Heaven and Hell bug- bears, or meer imaginations of brain- sick fools? |
A43583 | Are not thy affections more spiritualized towards dearest Relations? |
A43583 | Are not your hearts treacherous? |
A43583 | Are we not ashamed of our loytering and lagging behind? |
A43583 | Are you for Heaven or Hell? |
A43583 | Are you not more endeared to Saints as Saints, though poor, or disobliging, and of a different perswasion? |
A43583 | Art thou a child of God or a child of the Devil? |
A43583 | Art thou not more glad when corruptions are mortified then gratified? |
A43583 | Art thou not more taken up with Gods Mercies, to give him the glory of them, then any personal content thou hast in them? |
A43583 | Besides, I stand upon habitual meetness chiefly: What art thou man in point of state? |
A43583 | But I said, how shall I put thee among the Children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of Nations? |
A43583 | But how come they by this high Honour? |
A43583 | But if there be no such change,( as I doubt there is not) how can I be quiet? |
A43583 | But is this a making meet for Heaven or Hell? |
A43583 | But was not dying upon the Cross for the sins of Men a principal piece of Christs work? |
A43583 | But what are we better unless we be partners of this priviledge? |
A43583 | But what is the marrow and main design of this Gospel- revelation? |
A43583 | But what proportion can the best Services of the best Men bear to this Eternal Reward? |
A43583 | But you will say, is none meet for Heaven but such as have assurance? |
A43583 | Can I follow the Rules and prescriptions that my Lord hath laid down; To deny my self, take up his Cross and follow him? |
A43583 | Can rational persons think to escape the ditch by winking? |
A43583 | Can the sin- revenging God and the guilty sinner hold intimate correspondence till they be reconciled? |
A43583 | Can these poor fig- leaves of temporary Righteousness secure you from divine Vengeance? |
A43583 | Can you be content to stand by that another day, that you dare not put to the tryal here? |
A43583 | Can you charm a Beast with Musick? |
A43583 | Can you imagine God will deface or lay aside his immaculate Holiness, to take you from the Swine- sty into his holy Sanctuary? |
A43583 | Can you imagine that our Lord Jesus( who is the door- keeper keeper of Heaven) will admit any but those that he saith he will entertain? |
A43583 | Can you not sink your selves low enough? |
A43583 | Can you think to wrest Heaven out of Gods hands whether he will or not? |
A43583 | Canst thou not more rejoyce in the gifts, graces, holiness, usefulness of others, though it obscure thine? |
A43583 | Committing all to God, thou findest provisions have been strangely made? |
A43583 | Consider sinner, whose word shall stand? |
A43583 | Dare you so directly contradict our blessed Saviour, and give him the lye? |
A43583 | Dearly Beloved, A Desire after Happiness is so ingraven in the Nature of Man, that it was never put to the debate, whether he would be happy or no? |
A43583 | Death it self is the day break of eternal brightness to the Child of God; and is not this worth thanking God for? |
A43583 | Discriminating kindnesses call for the greatest gratitude: What did God see in any of us that might procure for us Heaven? |
A43583 | Do not publick concerns of Church or Nation lye nearer thy heart daily? |
A43583 | Do not your hearts eccho back, with your[ probatum est] setting your seal to these things? |
A43583 | Do those graces within me answer the characters of such in the Scriptures? |
A43583 | Do we not bring dishonour to God, and discredit to our Religion by our backwardness? |
A43583 | Do you fill up every vacancy with some useful business for Earth or Heaven? |
A43583 | Do you not daily depend on God for new Mercies? |
A43583 | Do you not more concern your selves for the Souls of Relations and others in Prayer and Discourse? |
A43583 | Do you spend your time better then formerly? |
A43583 | Do you think such dirty dogs shall ever trample on this golden pavement? |
A43583 | Do you think there is such a thing as a groundless presumption, or rotten hope that will give up the ghost? |
A43583 | Dost thou not account thy self the greatest of Sinners, least of Saints, and by the grace of God thou art what thou art? |
A43583 | Dost thou not delight now in what thou didst disdain? |
A43583 | Dost thou not love them in the Lord, and the Lord in them, and canst freely part with them upon Gods call? |
A43583 | Dost thou not more sensibly understand the sweet life of faith in temporals? |
A43583 | Doth my Soul eccho to the experiences of Saints in the word of God? |
A43583 | Doth not our slavish fear of death shew thee? |
A43583 | Doth not the sense of divine love extort from you more tears of godly sorrow, and more vehement hatred of all sin, purely it is offensive to God? |
A43583 | Drawing out bowels of compassion for and to such as are fallen? |
A43583 | Give diligence to make your Calling and Election sure: And what then? |
A43583 | God is merciful, but he is also just; Christ dyed for sinners, but do you imagine all shall be saved by him? |
A43583 | Gods or thine? |
A43583 | Hast thou not changed thy company, courses, manner of life? |
A43583 | Hast thou not experienced a change from Nature to Grace, from Death to Life? |
A43583 | Hast thou not learned more faithfully and discreetly to manage the duty of private admonition of an offending Christian? |
A43583 | Hast thou not seen thy woful state by Nature? |
A43583 | Hast thou not the things that accompany Salvation? |
A43583 | Hast thou that renovation that necessarily accompanies Salvation? |
A43583 | Hath Christ come into the world to no purpose? |
A43583 | Hath he not told us in his infallible word who shall be saved, and who shall be damned; and will you believe God or your own self deluding hearts? |
A43583 | Hath not God been dealing with thy heart, as he useth to deal with such as he designs for Heaven? |
A43583 | Hath not God helpt you to be dispatching your work off your hands, Spiritual, Temporal, Relative and Publick? |
A43583 | Hath not this new birth cost thee griefs and groans, prayers and tears? |
A43583 | Hath not your Faith been more vigorous in its actings upon your dear Lord? |
A43583 | Have I made a covenant with God, and taken God for my God, and given my self to him? |
A43583 | Have I the essential characters of a Christian? |
A43583 | Have not many young ones and others out- stript us, and are got to Heaven, that set out after us? |
A43583 | Have they a good Title to it? |
A43583 | Have we any greater matters to mind? |
A43583 | Have you not been more constant and inlarged in the duty of secret Prayer, with shorter intermissions and more favouriness? |
A43583 | Have you not been more frequent and serious in renewing your Covenant with God? |
A43583 | Have you not got power over your Passions, to regulate them? |
A43583 | Have you not more incomes of grace and assistance in duties both as to matter and manner? |
A43583 | Have you not taken all for granted without a serious proving of your state, meerly because you would have it so? |
A43583 | How can they dispatch their work, that never begun it to purpose? |
A43583 | How can they evidence a title to Heaven that have none? |
A43583 | How can you own God in the next strait, that are so much in arrears? |
A43583 | How do men thankfully celebrate Christs Nativity? |
A43583 | How is it that thou wilt manifest thy self to us, and not unto the world? |
A43583 | How is that? |
A43583 | How is that? |
A43583 | How long Lord, shall my Soul be at a distance from thee? |
A43583 | How sweet is home to the weary Traveller? |
A43583 | How uncertain about our Title to this Inheritance? |
A43583 | I Answer, in general it must be supposed that you have a title, which is your habitual meetness, or else how can you be assured of it? |
A43583 | I may find rest? |
A43583 | If I be, when or how did my Soul pass through the pangs of the new birth? |
A43583 | If I should come to you one by one, and pose you with this solemn question, Friends whither bound? |
A43583 | If drink be so refreshing to the thirsty soul, oh how sweet are those rivers of pleasures? |
A43583 | If it be so pleasant for the Eyes to behold the Sun, how amiable is the Son of Righteousness? |
A43583 | If it be uncomfortable to us, it will be unprofitable to you? |
A43583 | If thou think any body is offended by thee, is it not more a real trouble to thee then formerly? |
A43583 | If you say Soul take thine case, and God say, Devil take his Soul: Whether of these think you, will prevail? |
A43583 | Impenitency to your sin? |
A43583 | In closing more fully with promises? |
A43583 | Is he grown so full of charity to Souls? |
A43583 | Is it not more the grief of thy heart when God is dishonoured, his Spirit grieved, his Gospel reproached by the sins of profane or professours? |
A43583 | Is not gratitude for Spiritual Mercies, a great evidence of your interest in them? |
A43583 | Is not the Devil a cheat? |
A43583 | Is not the Heavenly Inheritance Gods own to give? |
A43583 | Is not thy heart daily more weary of the world, and longing for Heaven? |
A43583 | Is not thy principle, rule, end, otherwise then formerly? |
A43583 | Is not your Repentance more Evangelical? |
A43583 | Is security your best fence against misery? |
A43583 | Is the infinite all- seeing God grown so weak or blind that you can couzen or conquer him? |
A43583 | Is there an Heaven or Hell after this life, or is there not? |
A43583 | Is there not a reality in Satans temptations, to draw or drive us from God and future happiness? |
A43583 | It s not as I say, or you say, but as God himself saith; do I say any thing but what the holy God saith in the Bible? |
A43583 | Let us be ashamed of our slackness; what have we been doing with all that time, these helps and priviledges we have had? |
A43583 | Let us be glad and rejoyce, and give honour to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his Wife hath made her self ready: But how is she ready? |
A43583 | May not all be cleansed alike then? |
A43583 | Must our sweat and labour be in vain? |
A43583 | Must the Earth be forsaken for thee? |
A43583 | Must the immutable God falsifie his word to save chee against his will, yea, against thy will? |
A43583 | Must these be par- boilings for everlasting burnings? |
A43583 | Must you needs add drunkenness to thirst? |
A43583 | My grand enquiry is, what must I do to be saved? |
A43583 | Nay can you be content with an Hell in both worlds? |
A43583 | Nay is not this a mean to continue them? |
A43583 | Nay, what did he not see in us to turn his stomach against us? |
A43583 | Now, Sirs, consider, shall you receive this grace of God in vain? |
A43583 | O Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? |
A43583 | O grave where is thy victory? |
A43583 | O no, it will never be: Heaven and Hell will as soon joyn as God and an unregenerate sinner: Will the holy God take such vipers into his bosom? |
A43583 | O saith the Christian, what shall I do with this untoward heart? |
A43583 | O saith the believing Soul, if meat be so sweet to an hungry stomach, how much more excellent is Gods loving kindness? |
A43583 | Object against it and disprove it; but must not the Word of God judge you another day? |
A43583 | Oh Sirs, do you know what Heaven is? |
A43583 | Oh Sirs, if you should but look down into that stupendious gulf, what a change would it work in your hearts? |
A43583 | Oh how unmeet am I for this glorious state or high honour? |
A43583 | Oh this word for ever is amazing, A godly man in company sate in a deep muse, and being demanded what he was thinking of? |
A43583 | Or are there no Devils or Spirits, and so by consequence no God? |
A43583 | Or be mortified to things below, that have their portion in this present life, were never divorced from their lusts, and have no treasure above? |
A43583 | Or can you bribe him to let you in with fair words or large gifts? |
A43583 | Or can you bring him to your melody, or make him keep time with your skilful quire? |
A43583 | Or dare you stand to plead in his face that you are qualified and meet for Heaven, when he tells you, that you are not? |
A43583 | Or do you think he will admit those that he saith he will keep out? |
A43583 | Or do you think that the gates of Heaven are as wide as the gates of Hell, or that as many shall be saved as damned? |
A43583 | Or give this Inheritance of Saints to the Devils slaves? |
A43583 | Or within us what preparation for Heaven? |
A43583 | Our Lord himself, cryed dying, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A43583 | Peat your fingers off from the world? |
A43583 | Say with Calvin,[ Vsquequo Domine?] |
A43583 | Shall all the Ordinances be lost upon you? |
A43583 | Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee? |
A43583 | Shall you not be there soon enough? |
A43583 | Tell not me that thou hast done this or that good work, but art thou savingly converted from sin to God? |
A43583 | That I have done this or that? |
A43583 | The former is like some high Mountains, that are above Storms and Clouds, as they say Olympus is clear and beautiful? |
A43583 | The necessity of Christ and grace? |
A43583 | Then what shall a poor doubting Soul say of it self, that is dark, and much discouraged as many a good Soul is? |
A43583 | There''s holy company above of Saints, but they can not abide to be near them on Earth, how then can they like to be associated to them in Heaven? |
A43583 | These are the astonishing thoughts of a poor doubtful dying Soul: And is this Man meet for Heaven? |
A43583 | This is Gods way to get assurance: Have I the conditions of Gospel- promises, Faith and Repentance? |
A43583 | This is a pitiful ruinous Cottage, when shall I be brought into the Kings Pallace? |
A43583 | This new Jerusalem is built all of Free- stone, and shall not our shoutings echo, grace, grace to the Head- stone, Jesus Christ? |
A43583 | To knit your minds, and raise your affections to God, and sometimes suggest words to you? |
A43583 | Upon what terms stand I for another world? |
A43583 | VVhat is Heaven but the injoyment of God? |
A43583 | Was not Hezekiah a Godly Man? |
A43583 | Was not his Soul in a readiness for death? |
A43583 | Weaken your corruptions, and purge and furbish your Souls, as vessels for the high shelf of glory? |
A43583 | What Conceptions ought we to have of the blessed God? |
A43583 | What beast will run into a pit or praecipice? |
A43583 | What can I do? |
A43583 | What cleanly person can endure to have a filthy swine a bed and board with him in his Parlour or Bed- chamber? |
A43583 | What could God see in us to attract his heart to us? |
A43583 | What else have you to do in the world? |
A43583 | What fruits hath it brought forth in me? |
A43583 | What ground hast thou to own me? |
A43583 | What is Hell then for, that''s so oft mention''d in the Bible? |
A43583 | What is that habitual meetness for the Inheritance of the Saints in Light, without which Men can never attain to it, or have eternal possession of it? |
A43583 | What is the change wrought in a Man by Gods H. Word and Spirit, before he can safely conclude himself passed from Death to Life? |
A43583 | What mad man will refuse this gift that is better then Gold? |
A43583 | What pains would you take? |
A43583 | What saving work hath passed upon my heart? |
A43583 | What say you to these things? |
A43583 | What sayest thou? |
A43583 | What staggerings in our Faith of the reality of unseen things? |
A43583 | What stamp, what sheep- mark can I shew, as the fruit of Gods being at work on my Soul, and an earnest of this glorious Inheritance? |
A43583 | What strict observers of the Sabbath were the Scribes and Pharisees? |
A43583 | What tears, fears, what groans and agonies hath it cost me? |
A43583 | What think you, can any secretly steal in unknown to him, or forcibly thrust in against his will? |
A43583 | What work is it that God sets before Men to dispatch and manage? |
A43583 | What''s become of the many warnings we have had in our selves and others? |
A43583 | What, are you content with a Heaven here, and an Hell hereafter? |
A43583 | When are men cleansed, is it[ in Articulo mortis] in the passage of the Soul out of the Body? |
A43583 | When occasions of sinning are removed, rather then afforded, though it cost thee dear? |
A43583 | When thousands are left, why art thou taken? |
A43583 | When will it be over? |
A43583 | Where''s this new Creature, the Divine Nature, the Image and Seed of God working Heaven- wards? |
A43583 | Whither are you going? |
A43583 | Why may not my glory rejoyce? |
A43583 | Why should not then my heart be glad? |
A43583 | Why so? |
A43583 | Will he set the Crown on Rebels heads? |
A43583 | Will not your mouth be stopt, and Conscience fly in your face? |
A43583 | Will you believe it? |
A43583 | Yes doubtless, for he dare appeal to God that he had walked before him in truth, and with a perfect heart: What then was the matter? |
A43583 | Yet after all this canst thou not say, thou art nothing, deservest nothing but Hell? |
A43583 | You must give account of Sabbaths, Sermons, Sacraments, shall they be the savour of death unto death to you, or the savour of life unto life? |
A43583 | You will say how can any man be said to dispatch his work till his life be done? |
A43583 | You''l say, can I make my self meet for Heaven? |
A43583 | and are these fit to live with God till brought nigh? |
A43583 | and can two walk together except they be agreed? |
A43583 | and can you think to overturn his appointed Will, or contradict his Councels? |
A43583 | and how can dryed stubble dwell with consuming fire? |
A43583 | and is such a dead block meet to converse with the living God? |
A43583 | and is this fit to dwell with an Holy God till sanctified? |
A43583 | and the Prophets do they live for ever? |
A43583 | and what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
A43583 | being more weighted with the necessity of their Conversion? |
A43583 | have you no better a friend then Satan? |
A43583 | what do I here? |
A43583 | with darkness? |
A39261 | 1,& c. Now what a wretched condition is that man in, all whose Addresses to Heaven, and all whose good deeds on Earth can do him no good? |
A39261 | 10. should allow us just as much time as we desire, to dishonour and affront him in? |
A39261 | 5. to set light by the Gospel of Peace? |
A39261 | 6. Who can have any Comfort in his life past, that considers not how he hath spent it, whether Sinfully and Vainly, or Virtuously and Piously? |
A39261 | Am I sure what my End will be? |
A39261 | And am I not a very fool for this? |
A39261 | And am I taking all this pains to entertain the Worms? |
A39261 | And are we content then to be damned if we die to night? |
A39261 | And are we sure, that if we defer it now, it will do us good hereafter? |
A39261 | And can it now be needful to prove, that this can not be done too soon? |
A39261 | And can this be thought a saving Repentance? |
A39261 | And can we excuse our selves for such a Sin and Folly? |
A39261 | And had we rather gratify the Devil by our Damnation, than have the holy Angels rejoice at our Salvation? |
A39261 | And have we not daily remembrancers of what we are so apt of our selves to forget? |
A39261 | And how are we sure that God will then accept of it? |
A39261 | And how easie is it then to see, that many who think themselves Penitents, are mistaken in their duty? |
A39261 | And is it not likely, the longer we delay, that this same supine and regardless temper will be the more fixed and confirm''d? |
A39261 | And is it not then too natural to men of this presumption, to presume still the more confidently, the longer God forbeareth them? |
A39261 | And is not the danger of dying impenitent, the same now, that it will be then? |
A39261 | And is not this as absurd, as to set our selves in our Saviour''s stead, and a taking upon us to make for our selves a new and easier way to Heaven? |
A39261 | And may they not, for ought we know, befal us as well as any others? |
A39261 | And may we not be this moment, for ought we know, in the very same danger that we then thought our selves in? |
A39261 | And must not all this make Repentance a much harder work, than otherwise it might have been? |
A39261 | And must the glorious Majesty of Heaven and Earth wait on every filthy Wretch as long as he pleaseth? |
A39261 | And shall we not, to make our life easie to us, and our burthen light, be at the pains of a few timely serious Thoughts? |
A39261 | And to how much better purpose too were it so to do? |
A39261 | And what a task doth he thus make himself, to repent of all these sins hereafter? |
A39261 | And what care have I taken that I may not? |
A39261 | And what greater baseness of mind and temper can there be in any one, than this? |
A39261 | And what kind of Penitents are these? |
A39261 | And what reason have we, if we now love them so well, to think, that we shall not love them as well hereafter, as now we do? |
A39261 | And what saith the delaying Sinner to all this, when he is told of it? |
A39261 | And what will follow thence? |
A39261 | And who feeds me, or can reward or punish me, but he who is Lord of all things? |
A39261 | And who of a thousand, especially if young and lively, hath patience to endure this? |
A39261 | And why then are we not now in as great haste to repent, as we were in then? |
A39261 | Are his Works and Word, his Blessings and his Curse, his Favour and Displeasure, his Mercies and his Judgments, all one to us? |
A39261 | Are not most Malefactors thus penitent, after a severe Sentence is given, and they see no remedy but it must be presently executed upon them? |
A39261 | Are not our Obligations, and our Dependances on him the same? |
A39261 | Are the things which belong unto our Peace hid from us, so that we can have no thoughts of them? |
A39261 | Are we able to plead for our selves, That we have lived a life of Repentance, Faith, and new Obedience? |
A39261 | Are we forgetful? |
A39261 | Are we ignorant, and wicked? |
A39261 | Are we no way concern''d in God''s Infinite Wisdom, Power, Goodness, Justice, Faithfulness, Holiness, his Providence, or his Laws? |
A39261 | Are we not in the greatest danger by not considering? |
A39261 | Are we not sensible that such things often befal men, who as little fear''d them as we do? |
A39261 | But how doth God resent such an Answer? |
A39261 | But if we can not plead this, what will become of us? |
A39261 | But what was it we promised? |
A39261 | But who hath assured us, that we shall have any time at all, after this that now is, to repent in? |
A39261 | By whose Order am I to dispose of what I have, but by his who gave it me? |
A39261 | Can any one pity us, or shall not we curse our selves, if we perish only for want of considering how we may be saved? |
A39261 | Can any one think he hath too soon got out of the Lion''s mouth, out of the snares of the Devil, and from the Borders of Hell? |
A39261 | Can any one think it too soon to be within view of Heaven and Eternal Joys? |
A39261 | Can any one, who hath any love for himself( as who hath not in some sense or other?) |
A39261 | Can one too early get out of danger and be safe? |
A39261 | Can one too soon begin to grow Happy? |
A39261 | Can our own Consciences acquit us, for not thinking how we may escape Eternal Misery? |
A39261 | Can such Vertues as Sobriety, Temperance and Chastity, and many more, be thought commanded us as the proper Exercises of a sick and dying man? |
A39261 | Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots? |
A39261 | Can there be any Comfort in a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries? |
A39261 | Can there be any place for Comfort in that man''s breast, that knows himself to be at Enmity with God, and God to be incens''d against him? |
A39261 | Can there be any thing more against Reason, than to think it was given us to consider least, the things that are most considerable? |
A39261 | Can we be indifferent, whether God take any care for our Salvation, or none? |
A39261 | Can we be wholly unconcern''d whether he see us, or see us not; whether he regard, or neglect us? |
A39261 | Can we excuse our selves for not thinking most on the best things, which will do us most good? |
A39261 | Can we think it all a case, whether we behave our selves towards him as Subjects, or as Rebels; whether he reward, or punish us? |
A39261 | Can we think the Apostle meant no more by these words, but that we should do this for some few years or days of our old age before we die? |
A39261 | Do I nothing now but what I shall be able to answer for then? |
A39261 | Do not they all visibly tend to our Health, and our Honour, and our Happiness? |
A39261 | Do such Servants consider, that they are not their own, and that the Money they have is not their own? |
A39261 | Do we any of us know, how soon the Door will be shut upon us, and there shall be no entrance for us into Heaven? |
A39261 | Do we know, any of us, that there is so much as one day, or one hour, betwixt this moment and Eternity? |
A39261 | Doth it tell them, that they may safely stay as long as they have a mind to Sin, and yet Repent at last? |
A39261 | Doth not God in JESUS Christ most graciously invite us to this high honour? |
A39261 | Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? |
A39261 | God hath not assured us of any such thing, and Man can not; on what then do we build our hopes of living to any time hereafter? |
A39261 | Had we deserved to die? |
A39261 | Had we rather weep fruitlesly for our Torments, than weep savingly for our Sins? |
A39261 | Hath he not open''d unto us a fountain for sin and for uncleanness, wherein the foulest sinner may wash freely, and become as white as snow? |
A39261 | Hath not God laid them plain and open before us, so as he that runs may read them? |
A39261 | Have I made my self ready for a blessed Eternity? |
A39261 | Have we no Eyes to see with, no light to see by? |
A39261 | Have we no Reason to consider? |
A39261 | Have we no Teachers to instruct us? |
A39261 | Have we no capacity of learning? |
A39261 | Have we not yet well learn''d them? |
A39261 | Have we, after all, need still of bodily succours and sustenance, of wordly delights and refreshments in our way to blessedness? |
A39261 | How came we to be of such a different temper then, from that which we were in before? |
A39261 | How can any one imagine it too soon to do what he knows necessary to be done, and yet may never be done, if not just now? |
A39261 | How can we chuse but blush to continue any time, so very unlike to that which God at first made Man to be? |
A39261 | How can we possibly excuse our selves for this gross neglect? |
A39261 | How could he testify his love and care of us more convincingly than he hath done? |
A39261 | How know we, that we shall not die before? |
A39261 | How long hath God already waited to be gracious? |
A39261 | How long ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity; and the scorners delight in scorning, and fools hate knowledg? |
A39261 | How long? |
A39261 | How many calls and warnings hath he already given us to repent? |
A39261 | How many hundreds yearly die in the heat and wantonness of their youthful blood? |
A39261 | How many in the height of their security and confidence, sleeping in their beds, riding merrily on the rode, going busily about their common affairs? |
A39261 | How many in the very fulness of strength and vigour? |
A39261 | How many in the very throng of their worldly business, and whilst they are as busy as the Bee in gathering for old age? |
A39261 | How many notable ways doth he daily exercise his loving- kindness towards us? |
A39261 | How many of our temper hath the Devil got into Hell already, by persuading them''t is already too soon, till they find it too late? |
A39261 | How many that delay from time to time, are, when they least fear it, knock''d down with a sudden blow? |
A39261 | How much patience hath he had already to see himself dishonour''d by us? |
A39261 | How often have we broken his New Covenant of Grace, and sinned against the greatest of Mercies? |
A39261 | How sensible are we in the mean time, of the Dignity of our Nature, as we are Men? |
A39261 | How stand my Accounts against the day of Judgment? |
A39261 | How then should I hope to be Happy, and not Miserable, but by Pleasing and Honouring him in doing his Will, and Obeying him in all things? |
A39261 | I have lived in all good conscience before God unto this day? |
A39261 | I hearkned and heard( saith God) but they spake not aright; no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? |
A39261 | If a Man may act like a Beast, without Consideration, why should not God have made him like a Beast too, without Reason? |
A39261 | If any one ask, What course is to be taken by those who have long delay''d their Repentance, but are not yet in appearance near unto death? |
A39261 | If it be not, alas, what is it that we live for? |
A39261 | If not, why are we so mad as to put it to the venture? |
A39261 | If we do not, what can we mean by saying so, but this; That if we live, we will repent to morrow? |
A39261 | If we will be saved, we must repent; and is it not a very foolish thing to stay till the whip drive us to it? |
A39261 | If we will be so base as to delight in filthiness, why should not God with Indignation say, Let them be filthy still? |
A39261 | Is he not the same God now, that he will be then, one and the same, unchangeable for ever? |
A39261 | Is it all one to us what our End shall be, whether we shall be acquitted, or condemned in the day of Judgment? |
A39261 | Is it all one whether we be under his Government, or our own Masters; under his power, or at our own command? |
A39261 | Is it an unwarrantable presumption of the greatness of God''s Mercy, or of his unwearied Forbearance, that is the cause of our delay? |
A39261 | Is it not very comfortable to be confident of God''s love and favour, of his fatherly blessing, and of his special care and providence? |
A39261 | Is it not, that we are by our Baptism engaged to live in Sin no longer? |
A39261 | Is it now a careless, negligent and unconsidering temper of mind that is the cause of our delay? |
A39261 | Is it now possible that any one can make too much haste to get into this comfortable Condition? |
A39261 | Is it the love of our sins wherewith we are bewitched, so that we are not able to part with them, and therefore delay our Repentance? |
A39261 | Is it the same thing, whether we be holy or unholy; lovely or abominable in the pure Eyes of God? |
A39261 | Is not our delaying our Repentance the likeliest way in the World to provoke Almighty God to send out one of these swift Arrows to destroy us? |
A39261 | Is nothing of this worth our serious Consideration? |
A39261 | Is the cause of our delay a secret root of Atheism or Infidelity, a disbelief of God, and of his Word? |
A39261 | Is there not as much reason now to move us to keep the Commandments of God, as ever there will be hereafter? |
A39261 | Is this the way to oblige God to be more liberal of his Grace unto us hereafter, to turn his Grace already given us into wantonness? |
A39261 | Is to Dishonour him as long as we can, the best way to assure us of his help in time of need? |
A39261 | It is a Sin against the Gospel of Christ, which is the only foundation Sinners have to raise their hope of Salvation upon? |
A39261 | It is natural and unavoidable to us to think of something; and is it not reasonable then to think on something to some purpose? |
A39261 | Know we how soon we must dye, or how we must dye? |
A39261 | Know ye not( saith he again) that so many of us as were baptized into Iesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
A39261 | Let us seriously consider now, what''s the plain English of all this: Are we not afraid, lest God should understand it? |
A39261 | Makes it no matter, whether the time of this life be wisely improved, or vainly wasted? |
A39261 | May we not be suddenly taken with an Apoplexy or a Lethargy, with a Phrenzy, or Melancholy, or Dotage? |
A39261 | May we not be tempted out of the way to life, ere we are aware of it, by a thousand temptations for want of considering? |
A39261 | May we not become mad or foolish, and so distracted and crazed in our heads, that we can not at all consider either what we do, or what we should do? |
A39261 | May we not fall asleep, and sleep on securely, till all be in flames about us, and there shall be no escaping, nothing but terror and amazement? |
A39261 | Mine own, or his whose I am, and who alone can make me happy? |
A39261 | Must not this idolized Body of mine by and by rot in the Earth? |
A39261 | Must vile Sinners have the command of God''s Ear? |
A39261 | Need I use arguments to convince us, that one can not make too much haste to be a good man? |
A39261 | O how shall we then escape for neglecting so great Salvation? |
A39261 | O why then should we now lose the opportunity we have, and giddily venture thereby suddenly to fall into that remediless condition they are now in? |
A39261 | O why will we deal worse with God, and our own Souls, than we are wo nt to do with any thing else of the meanest concern to us? |
A39261 | Or have I blotted out by repentance all that will not pass then for good? |
A39261 | Our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our Conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity we have had our conversation in the world? |
A39261 | Run we not a great hazard in doing so? |
A39261 | Shall we be so mad as to live to no other end, but to have time enough to make our selves intollerably wretched? |
A39261 | Shall we defer our Repentance till it will do us no good? |
A39261 | Shall we toil like Oxen in the dirt of this World, merely to defile our selves, and make our selves odious in the sight of our heavenly Father? |
A39261 | Shall we trifle away all our time in sin, and folly, and vanity, to this good End, That we may be the surer of an eternity of Torments and Sorrow? |
A39261 | Shall we( saith he) that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? |
A39261 | Was it not this we promised, To keep God''s holy will and commandments all the days of our life? |
A39261 | We are sensible that we are guilty of many sins; and who is not so, that believes what he reads in Scripture? |
A39261 | We can not chuse but know what filthy leprous creatures sin hath made us: And why are we in no more haste to be cleansed and made whole? |
A39261 | Well, but now consider it in earnest; Is there not a great deal of danger in driving it off till hereafter? |
A39261 | Were not some of them so too, who died the other day; and thought they not themselves as likely to live as any of us can be? |
A39261 | Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? |
A39261 | Were we become weak? |
A39261 | What Trade can a man drive on thrivingly in this World, if he make his Conscience too soon tender and delicate? |
A39261 | What a madness is this, not to do to our comfort now, what if we do not now, we must do hereafter to our sorrow? |
A39261 | What a vile degeneracy is this that we are sunk into, That we should fall so deeply in love with our own dishonour, as to be loth to part with it? |
A39261 | What am I spending my time and labour in? |
A39261 | What am I to do with my self and what I have, but that for which I was made, and for which all that I have was given me? |
A39261 | What an unaccountable madness is it, instead of making our Calling and Election sure, to make them every day we live more and more uncertain to us? |
A39261 | What an untoward humour is this in us? |
A39261 | What assurance can any of us have, that we shall have an hereafter to repent in? |
A39261 | What can we imagine should bring us out of love with sin more then, than now? |
A39261 | What else can be the reason why we should delay one minute to keep God''s Commandments? |
A39261 | What folly is it to drive off our Repentance, till we be scourged and lash''d unto it? |
A39261 | What haste would we then be in to make as sure as we could of escaping those dreadful Torments, the very thoughts whereof seem torment enough? |
A39261 | What have I done? |
A39261 | What have I left undone? |
A39261 | What is it that I am a doing in this World? |
A39261 | What is it that should hinder us from making what haste we can to be happy, in hearkning to so good and gracious a God and Father? |
A39261 | What is it that we think will alter it? |
A39261 | What is it then, whereby any one can possibly provoke God to withdraw or withhold his Grace from him? |
A39261 | What is it, but to slight all God''s gracious tenders of Peace and Reconciliation, as things we think as yet needless, and not at all to be valued? |
A39261 | What is our life? |
A39261 | What makes men more careless and secure in their sinful Courses, than long impunity and forbearance? |
A39261 | What means he by saying, We are dead to sin? |
A39261 | What more obliging course can we imagine God could have taken to bring Sinners in love with Him, and their own Happiness? |
A39261 | What needs any one care how he lives, if he can be sure of Grace enough to save him at any time before he die? |
A39261 | What obligations to God can we be sensible of in all the great things which he hath wrought for us, whilst we mind them not? |
A39261 | What one of a hundred of us, makes Religion his business? |
A39261 | What probability is there, that any Resolution of repenting hereafter, is sincere? |
A39261 | What reason can we find to persuade us, to think such a Repentance to be the true Repentance, to which Pardon and Salvation are promised? |
A39261 | What strange Agonies of Soul have many dying sinners fallen into, who have lived jovially all their days? |
A39261 | What though we be young, and lusty, and healthful? |
A39261 | What thoughts have some of us, it may be, had, when in some fit of sickness we apprehended Death approaching near us? |
A39261 | What would the Damned in Hell now give, that either they had consider''d when they would not, or could not now consider when they must? |
A39261 | What''s the reason we should delay to have Christ formed in us, to be made Partakers of a Divine Nature in Holiness? |
A39261 | What, for some few days of their life, or for the whole remaining part of it? |
A39261 | What, is it the business of our lives, to make our selves Everlastingly Miserable? |
A39261 | What? |
A39261 | When therefore will we repent, that we may be out of danger? |
A39261 | When we can not hinder our thoughts from being busie, is it not fit we should set them on work for our good? |
A39261 | When we say, we will repent to morrow; do we know whether we shall be alive or dead to morrow? |
A39261 | Whence can this proceed, but from inconsideration, or want of thinking on things as Men should do? |
A39261 | Wherefore hath he made so many Gracious Promises to the Faithful and Obedient, and Threatned such terrible things to unbelievers and wicked persons? |
A39261 | Whether it shall be then said to us, Come ye blessed, or depart ye cursed? |
A39261 | Who Considers it? |
A39261 | Who can Repent of the Sins which he hath not duly Considered, with all their aggravations? |
A39261 | Who can chear up his Soul in God, and rejoyce in the Lord? |
A39261 | Who can dwell with Everlasting Burnings? |
A39261 | Who can improve the Blessings of God to God''s Honour, and the good of himself and others, that seldome thinks of them? |
A39261 | Who can make me Happy, but he who made me and all things? |
A39261 | Who gave me what I have but God? |
A39261 | Who made me but God? |
A39261 | Who placed me here on the Earth but God? |
A39261 | Who then that is wise will venture one moment longer on such an uncertainty? |
A39261 | Who will call me to a reckoning for all I have, and all I do, but he who gave me all, and hath given me Rules whereby to dispose of all? |
A39261 | Who would think, that a Reasonable Creature should be so Senseless? |
A39261 | Whom am I to Praise and Glorifie, but him, from whom I and all things came, by whom I and all things are preserved? |
A39261 | Whom have I to Please, but him whose work I am to do? |
A39261 | Whose Orders am I to follow in spending my time, my estate, my strength of mind or body, but his who hath committed all these things to my trust? |
A39261 | Whose Servant am I, but his who feeds me, and who alone can Reward or Punish me? |
A39261 | Whose am I, but the same God''s that made me? |
A39261 | Whose will am I to do? |
A39261 | Whose work have I here to do, but his who sent me hither? |
A39261 | Whose work have I to do, but his whose I am, and who can and will call me to account? |
A39261 | Why are we no more ambitious to retrieve the Honour and Glory which by sin we have lost? |
A39261 | Why do not we think our selves concern''d to prevent all these evils? |
A39261 | Why make we not all sure now whilst we can, seeing we know not how soon it will be, that we can not? |
A39261 | Why not now, as well as hereafter? |
A39261 | Why should he? |
A39261 | Why then make we no more haste to keep them, and to enter into this most Honourable and Blessed Condition? |
A39261 | Why? |
A39261 | Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? |
A39261 | Without this use of Reason, what difference can there be betwixt us and Mad- men? |
A39261 | Yea, can any one chuse but see, that what he doth must needs be altogether as odious and abominable to God, as it is base and reproachful to himself? |
A39261 | Yea, how many severe Judgments might we escape in this life, did we well consider? |
A39261 | Yea, will some say, who knows not this? |
A39261 | and alway be ready at his beck, and come at his call? |
A39261 | and what pity can we deserve if we die? |
A39261 | but that he goes on without consideration? |
A39261 | intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? |
A39261 | shall we tire and wear out our selves, merely to destroy our selves? |
A39261 | what are we all our life long a labouring for? |
A39261 | where is thy sting? |
A39261 | where is thy victory? |
A39261 | whether we be fitted in time for mercy, or stay till it be too late? |
A39261 | whether we have a Saviour, or no Saviour; be reconciled to God, or at enmity with him? |
A39261 | whether we shall for ever rejoice in Heaven, or burn in Hell? |
A48621 | A gentle one indeed, for how slight a satisfaction is this? |
A48621 | ARe you sufficiently apprehensive of these things young Man, or do you yet stand in need of a further and a clearer light? |
A48621 | Afflictions do also prove and try us; for otherwise how shall any Man be able to judge of his firmness and proficiency? |
A48621 | And does not a General chastize his cowardly Army, by the decimation of them? |
A48621 | And how shall he not be vvilling vvho is the BEST? |
A48621 | And if it is grievous to be driven thence: vvhat is it to be forced from our Country, our Temples and Altars? |
A48621 | And in all this where is the injury? |
A48621 | And in the rest of Europe vvhat is there? |
A48621 | And shall you in the Ocean of this life refuse to follow the conduct of that Spirit by vvhom the vvhole Universe is swayed? |
A48621 | And to speak truth, vvhat is there in these things, that can appear new to any man, that is not himself a gross Ignaro in humane affairs? |
A48621 | And vvhat greater miracle can there be, than that vvicked Men should make vvicked Men good? |
A48621 | And vvhat is that being kill''d? |
A48621 | And vvhat is the reward of this too too inquisitive Genius of ours? |
A48621 | And vvhat vvould that vvandring Mind of yours, by its so curious an inquisition? |
A48621 | And vvhich vvay shall he put an exact difference, betwixt those things vvhich he hath not so much as seen? |
A48621 | And vvhy then in this Scene of life( as I may so call it) should the same dress and countenance of things delight us? |
A48621 | And vvill it not hurry you thence in the same manner? |
A48621 | And what can that Guard, or those Swords do? |
A48621 | And why should I conceal my Custome from you? |
A48621 | And yet I now speak only of such as are at present upon us; what are those that await us? |
A48621 | And yet how small and inconsiderable is either this Country or people; in comparison of all Europe? |
A48621 | Are not they also men? |
A48621 | Are there then any punished vvho have not deserved it? |
A48621 | Are vve so rigid and severe as not to suffer that any should be mov''d or affected vvith the grief of another? |
A48621 | Are you about to change your Soile and Climb? |
A48621 | Are you in good earnest, or vvhether is not there here some imposture and cousenage? |
A48621 | Art thou vviser than thy Maker? |
A48621 | As vve Belgians do at this day? |
A48621 | Assign the causes( say you) vvhy divine vengeance overpasses these; and seises upon these? |
A48621 | Assoon as I entred I took their prospect, with a wandring and curious Eve; and really wondring at the elegancy, and culture of the place? |
A48621 | At this a little heated: Nay said I do you ask this in earnest, or vvhether is it mockery of my Grief, and on purpose to provoke me? |
A48621 | BUt I have said enough of the Sentiments and dissents of the ancients, for why should I over curiously or subtilly search into the Mysteries of Hell? |
A48621 | BUt vvhy should I dwell longer upon these things? |
A48621 | Be it so; vvill you therefore add impudence to your imprudence; and carp at the power of that Divine Lavv, vvhich you can not conceive of? |
A48621 | But Langius laughing out- right, did you ever sway Scepter Lipsius( said he) so Princelike and so severe are your edicts? |
A48621 | But for vvhat purpose I pray? |
A48621 | But hovv much better were it for you, if you had the same Ardour and eagerness after Wisdome? |
A48621 | But if you bewaile Publick evills as such; where lyes the difference? |
A48621 | But is your Grief only vain? |
A48621 | But shall vve continue our vvalk; or whether is it not better and most convenient for us to sit? |
A48621 | But to vvhat end I beseech ye? |
A48621 | But vvhat is it that appears so strange, and unusual to us? |
A48621 | But vvhat think you? |
A48621 | But why should insist upon such Warrs, as were managed by the conduct of several Commanders? |
A48621 | But you ask again; why is Sin here immixed? |
A48621 | But you vvill say vvhy does God use the help of the vvicked? |
A48621 | Did Greece heretofore flourish? |
A48621 | Did I call them Evils? |
A48621 | Did Italy sway the Scepter? |
A48621 | Did not Nature it self bring you into the World so? |
A48621 | Did the ancients abuse it? |
A48621 | Do I seek my Divertisements in the Country or Gardens? |
A48621 | Do I? |
A48621 | Do Warrs molest any people? |
A48621 | Do they learn languages? |
A48621 | Do they understand the Greek and Latine Authors? |
A48621 | Do vve not vvillingly bear with Discords in Musick for some time; because vve know that the last closures vvill end in comfort? |
A48621 | Do you cast down your Eyes at these things? |
A48621 | Do you fall? |
A48621 | Do you forbid me to pitty too? |
A48621 | Do you indeed feare this Warre? |
A48621 | Do you not hear how craftily Homer advises? |
A48621 | Do you prepare your self to an action that is virtuous? |
A48621 | Do you see Brittain? |
A48621 | Do you see a beggarly Fellow represent in some Play the person of a Prince, all Pompous and brave? |
A48621 | Do you see that Arbour set out vvith Topiary vvork? |
A48621 | Do you see that Sun? |
A48621 | Do you stagger? |
A48621 | Do you suppose that only to be punishment, which we can look upon, and which this Body doth sensibly undergo? |

A48621 | How many thousand Spaniards, doth Avarice and Ambition yearly draw into remote Lands and of a different Climate? |
A48621 | I Did not expect so serious a discourse from Langius and therefore interrupting him; vvhether go you said I, was this it you promised? |
A48621 | I acknowledge your Country is full of Trouble and Turmoile; but vvhat part of Europe is that which is at this day free? |

A48621 | In this Play and Fable of the World, vvhy are you more offended vvith God, than you vvould be vvith any Poet? |
A48621 | In this publick banquet of Learning, why do you not the same? |

A48621 | It is yet a true one, Langius( reply''d I) suppose you that I flatter? |
A48621 | It''s a great misfortune to be robbed of our money, vvhat is it then to be deprived of our houses and lands? |

A48621 | Langius smiling, and what said he do you then expect at my hands, Wafers or Muscadell? |
A48621 | Langius vvith a severe and threatning Eye; Rash and inconsiderate Young Man( said he) do you imagine you can elude or take away Fate? |
A48621 | Look upon Men, who can deny that by nature vve are born faster, than we naturally dye? |

A59183 | And, what is it when it comes, but either the End of a Journey, or a Passage? |
A59183 | Are not we our selves toss''d with tempestuous Passions; and both assaulted by terrible Monsters on the one hand, and tempted by Sirens on the other? |
A59183 | Are these the Deities that you will rather put your Faith in, and place in the Heavens? |
A59183 | As Banishment, Poverty, Loss of Relations, Sickness, Disgrace? |
A59183 | As for Instance; discoursing of a Violent Death: Do you not understand, sayes he, the Majesty, and the Authority of your Judge? |
A59183 | As if our Eyes were only given us to make use of in the Dark: Is it Day?'' |

A59183 | Does he not Eat, many times, as Little, and as Course, in the Field, as a Poor Man? |
A59183 | Does he not, for his Own Pleasure, sometimes, and for Variety, Feed upon the Ground, and use only Earthen Vessels? |
