A19287If now the wicked eat the labours of their hands, and drinke their wine in bowles, may they not sacrifice to their nets?
A19287Is any constrained from some act of euill by natures impotencie and deformity?
A19287Is any disposed lesse euilly by the benefit of his complexion?
A19287Is he not heereby excluded from the power of conuersion, because he resteth in the shadow thereof?
A19287Is it charitie, then to forgiue the world, when we see no time left for execution of malice?
A19287Is it obedience, to tremble vnder the whip?
A19287Is it patience, to forbeare when wee can neither will nor chuse?
A19287Is not God robbed of his glorie, while we sacrifice to our labour and wit?
A19287Is not heere a change from better to worse?
A19287Is not his lust a law, his example a rule and warrant?
A19287Is not our pursuit heereof a priuilege to exempt from holy duties?
A19287Is not this a marke of holinesse, to be prosperous in the world?
A19287Is not this a sufficient euidence of an effectuall conuersion?
A19287Is not this the iudgement vpon the world, that they which see not, might see; and that they which see might be made blinde?
A19287Is promise kept heere to our hindrance, so we may winde out by the arme of flesh?
A19287Is the substance of our wares any thing lesse then answerable to the shew?
A19287Is there any place heere for idlenesse, securitie, remisnesse in our calling?
A19287Is there not now a cloake for sinne, and countenance for iniquitie?
A19287May they not cry ayme vnto their soules, Oh well is thee, and happie shalt thou bee?
A19287May they not doe miracles, and yet heare, I know you not?
A19287May they not teach other, and yet themselues be reiected?
A19287Must not the vilest forbeare when they can not otherwise chuse?
A19287Nay, Haue we not taught in thy name?
A19287Nay, who will not say, blacke is white, if it may please him?
A19287Shall not the brand be pluckt out of the fire, and the prey out of the teeth?
A19287Shall not the candle of the hypocrite be put out?
A19287Shall not the dead men liue?
A19287Shall not they awake and sing, which haue sate in the dust, yea in the shadow of death, yea haue beene euen swallowed vp of the nethermost hell?
A19287What defense is fathered hence for neglect of spirituall duties?
A19287What if a little eie- seruice be vsed in the outside of their wares?
A19287What is it, if not godlinesse, that is so plentifully recompenced in this life?
A19287What opportunity offered, to colour oppression and deceit?
A19287What pretence for licentiousnesse, and excesse in the abuse of the creatures?
A19287What should I tell you of that change that is wrought by afflictions?
A19287What wrapping vp of abuses, where there is fellowship in euill?
A19287Who can say, Blacke is his eie?
A19287Who is the good man, but the rich man?
A19287Who will trust, or shall be trusted, if word be not kept?
A19287Will he not perfect his power in weaknesse, and wisdome in humane infirmitie?
A19287Will not the swine that is now cleansed, returne to the mire againe?
A19287Will not the wicked in their troubles seeke the Lord diligently?
A19287Would God blesse our labours, if we did not serue him?
A19287and Is not this great Babel, which I haue built for the honour of my name?
A19287because, who dares say so?
A19287doth not this aduance the sinceritie of thy loue?
A19287nay, is not corruption more inraged inwardly, the more it is outwardly bridled& smothered?
A19287or not rather now begun?
A19287then to follow after him when hee seemes to runne from thee?
A19287to feare God only for his iustice, and not to loue him for his mercie?

A39678And is not that the very case here?

A39678And when it must be separated from it by death, what strong aversations to death doth it ordinarily discover?
A39678And who among all the servants of Christ loved or laboured for him more than he?
A39678And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy Brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
A39678And why can not you( if you please) perform, as well as neglect, the external Acts of Religious Duties?
A39678And yet what are the Torments of a year upon the Rack, to the Torments of Hell for ever and ever?
A39678But, why such haste to be perfectly miserable?
A39678Can we suppose any truth to be in, or any trust to be due to such a man as this?
A39678Can you think he reckons his Health in the least degree advanced or secured by the ruin and subversion of his Subjects Health?
A39678Can your Reason comprobate and allow such an Action as this?
A39678Darest thou joyn with thy Lusts against 〈 ◊ 〉 light, and think not to be brought in as a Party, 〈 ◊ 〉 confederate with the Devil?
A39678Do they for this, and no worse than this, deserve to be censured and condemned for Hypocrites?
A39678Do they lay their faithful and loving Hands of restraint upon thee, when they see thee running headlong into Destruction?
A39678Do you heartily Love and Honour him for thundering you out of Ale- houses and Taverns, unto your Family and Closet- duties?
A39678Do you not see, Gentlemen, the narural tendencies of these things?
A39678Do you think, Gentlemen, that you came into this world to do nothing else but to eat and drink, sport and play, sleep and die?
A39678For how will you answer them, when they shall thus argue and expostulate the matter with you?
A39678H ● that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be damned?
A39678Have you none but God to abuse, when men abuse and injure you?

A39678Is it rational to think it was plan ● ted there for no other end or use but to scan and censure other mens words and actions by, bu ● not our own?
A39678Is not his Royal Authority his Honour and Safety in his Laws?
A39678Is this House which is called by my Name, become a Den of Robbers in your eyes?
A39678Is this your running and striving to obtain the Palms and Crowns of Immortal Glory?
A39678Know ye not, that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?
A39678Let me close all I have to say upon this head with one plain Question: Do you think you must die, or live here for ever, as you now do?
A39678Nay, for convincing you plainly, that Religion lies not in external Modes and Rites, in Standing, Kneeling, or Responses?
A39678Nay, would you not strive to the uttermost to flee from this wrath to come?
A39678Need I to spend a word to refute and baffle such a Temptation as this?
A39678Neither Circumcision nor Uncircumcision availeth any thing, but a new Creature?
A39678Now where will you find that Word in the Bible, that warrants the hope of Salvation in an unregenerate person?
A39678Oh, why do you linger any longer?
A39678Or, what if they be insensible Actions, occasioned by the greater Intention of their Spirits in the Service of God?
A39678Qui publicis rebus intersunt& praesunt, nisi viri summi ac nobiles?

A39678Quis jubet, vetat, agit, satagit?
A39678Quis leges fingit& refingit?
A39678Quis versat& volvit omnia?
A39678Say, Reason, wilt thou allow that one of the highest aggravations of Sin, is pleadable in thy Court for the excuse or extenuation of it?
A39678Some have not been ashamed to say, What pity is it that Swearing should be a Sin, which gives so great a Grace and Ornament to Language?
A39678Tell me, Man,( if thou have the Reason of a man in thee) what wrong hath God done thee?
A39678That is to say plainly, Whether Obedience and Disobedience to the Law of God, be all one, and please him alike?
A39678That thou wilt not suffer them to speak o ● ● offer one word, tho never so pertinent, seasonable ● and necessary?

A39678Wherefore hat ● God planted a principle of Reason and Consc ● ● ence within us?
A39678Wherein hath he injured thee, that thou thus wreakest thy revenge upon him?
A39678Whether Whoredom be as likely and promising a way to engage God''s Blessing upon your Trades and Employments, as Continence or conjugal Chastity are?
A39678Whether the King have cause to account the manifest breach of the Laws by which he governs, to be a signal expression of his Subjects Loyalty to him?
A39678Whether the Pleasures of Temperance do not far excel those of Intemperance?
A39678Whether they think that which greatly encreaseth Want and Poverty, be a rational Cur ● ▪ and proper Remedy of it?
A39678Which of these two( think you) is the Hypocrite?
A39678Whose Money is that you so lavishly and prodigally waste out of your consuming Estates?
A39678Why did I not giv ● up the Ghost when I came out of the Belly?
A39678Why died I not from the Womb?
A39678Why should stolen Waters be sweeter than those of our own Fountain?
A39678Why then should you be so easy and flexible when they ask the latter, and so stiff and unperswadable to the former?
A39678Wilt thou give it under thy hand, that the man is the less guilty, because the more wicked?
A39678You can, if you will, forbear to swear and blaspheme the Name of ● od: who can or does compel or force your tongues to it?
A39678Your last Excuse is, That you have plentiful Estates that will bear it; and since your Pockets are full, why should your Heads or Stomachs be empty?
A39678would you ever jest with Damnation any more, as with an harmless thing?
A596691. we are bid to try the spirits: now, if these spirits were not like Gods true Spirit, what need tryall?
A5966921. and hence a childe of God askes himselfe after Sermon, after prayer, after Sacrament, what have I gained of Christ?
A59669A man that is to be hanged the next day, may dreame overnight, hee shall be a King; why?
A59669All these things have I done from my youth: what lack I yet?
A59669And at Christs comming, shall he finde faith on the earth?
A59669And is it not good cou ● sell, is it not a good purchase?
A59669Are there any such men?
A59669Art thou redeemed, dost thou hope by Christ to be saved, that didst never see, nor feele, nor sigh under thy bondage?
A59669Be it so, shall we refuse to praise God for the Flowers and the corne, because there be some weeds in the garden, and thistles in the field?
A59669But ask most men how they came by their faith in Christ?
A59669But how shall this Iudgement be?
A59669But if God be so willing to save, and so prodigall of his Christ, why doth he not give me Christ, or draw me to Christ?
A59669But if there be a God, why heares hee not his peoples prayers?
A59669But it may be Christ hath not redeemed me, nor shed his bloud for me, therefore why should I goe to him?
A59669But lastly, is it now from a slavish feare of hell, which workes this alteration?
A59669But thou wilt say, how shall I doe to get mine heart affected with my misery?
A59669But thou wilt say, if our praying and hearing bee sinne, why should we doe these duties?
A59669But thou wilt say; to what end should I performe duties, if I can not be saved by them?
A59669But to what end should we use any duties?
A59669But when shall this Iudgement day be?
A59669But will the Lord offer him to such a one as desires not to have Christ?
A59669But will you have him on these termes?
A59669But, who ever saw God, that every one is bold to affirme that there is a God?
A59669Can there be any greater glory for a Ioseph, for a subject, than to be like his Prince?
A59669Can these, doe these lament for the losse of their bare hopes and common mercies?
A59669Can you bestow your paines or lay out your money better?
A59669Canst thou beare& come from under an infinite wrath?
A59669Canst thou make thy selfe a Christ for thy selfe?
A59669Did ever any speake since Christ and his Apostles as men now speake?
A59669Dost thou looke for wages from Christ, that art ashamed to own Christ, or to weare his livery?
A59669Dost thou see hell fire before thee, and yet wilt venture?
A59669Every creature in heaven and earth is a loud preacher of this Truth: who set those candles, those torches of heaven on the Table?
A59669For, take a prophane man, what makes him drink, sweare, cozen, game, whore?
A59669God is thine enemy, and thou hast lost him, will this breake thine heart?
A59669Had ever any age such lightnings as we have?
A59669Hath Christ delivered thee from Hell, and hath he not delivered thee from thine Alehouse?
A59669Hath Christ delivered thee from Sathans societie, when he hath not delivered thee from thy loose company yet?
A59669Hath Christ delivered thee from burning, when thy faggots, thy sins, grow in thee?
A59669He confesseth them to God every morning when he riseth; why is he not more humbled under his sinne then?
A59669Hence they say, the best man sinnes seven times a day, and who can say my heart is cleane?
A59669Hence you shall have those men commend pithlesse, saplesse men for very honest men as ever brake bread; why?
A59669How dost thou know this?
A59669How doth Christ redeeme men out of this misery?
A59669How doth this follow?
A59669How many doe you thinke( saith he) shall be saved in this Citie?
A59669How may one know another to be his enemy?
A59669How was this estate ours?
A59669I am a sinfull, lost, condemned, cursed, dead creature: what shall I doe?
A59669I am well enough already, what tell you me of Christ?
A59669I wonder not to see so many families without family prayer; Why?
A59669Is Christs bloud thine, that mak''st no more account of it, nor feelest no more vertue from it than in the bloud of a chicken?
A59669Is it a shame to bee like God?
A59669Is it because they would be credited thereby?
A59669Is it from themselves?
A59669Is it out of simplicity, or are their braines growne crazie?
A59669Is there a God, and wilt thou not give him a good looke?
A59669Is there no God to punish?
A59669Is there no Master in the House, because the servants doe all the worke?
A59669Is there no hell hot enough to torment?
A59669Is there no more sweetnesse in the presence of Gods smiling in Christ, than in a filthy Whore?
A59669Is this possible, that a man should aime at Gods glory, and yet perish?
A59669It is a most inexcusable sinne; for what have you to cast against Iesus Christ?
A59669It may be it is true, may be not, yet doe thou venture as those, Ioel 2. who knowes but the Lord may returne?
A59669Let a man have false weights, he is cheated grievously with light gold; why?
A59669Many of the children of God, who are best able to know mens hearts, because they onely study their hearts, feele this temptation, Is there a God?
A59669May not I sinne in my mirth, in my speaking, in my sleeping?
A59669May not this winne and melt the heart of a Devill?
A59669Melancholy sadnesse may bee borne, but a wounded Spirit who can beare?
A59669Might not this racking of Rents make them question their estates?
A59669No such matter, let a man have a bucket made of gold, doth he thinke to get water, because he hath a bucket?
A59669No surely, all desire to be in peace, and so to live and sleepe in a whole skin: Comes it frō Melancholy?
A59669No time, no Nation exceeds us herein; and shall we that abound in truths be penurious in praises?
A59669No, Thou art dead in sinne, and top- full of all sinne, will this breake thine heart?
A59669No, Whatsoever thou dost, hast done, shalt doe, remaining in this estate, is sinne, will this breake thine heart?
A59669Now if this glasse be taken away, and not set before a deformed heart, how can a man but thinke himselfe faire?
A59669Now tell me, dost thou glory in thy selfe?
A59669Now tell me, hath not the Lord beene a good friend unto thee?
A59669Now tell me, will you have Christ?
A59669Now the soule cryeth out; What shall I doe for Christ that hath done wonders for me?
A59669Oh Lord, in some townes and families what a world of these are there?
A59669Oh poore stubble, canst thou stand before this consuming fire without sin?
A59669Perfect holinesse was ADAMS Image whereby he pleased God, and shall a little holinesse content thee?
A59669Rejoyce?
A59669Set by these foure sorts, how few then are to be saved, even among them that are hatcht in the bosome of the Church?
A59669Some p ● obably may say, it s en ● ugh to prais ● God for his word, other books are not ● ● nti?
A59669Tell mee, wherein hath hee grieved thee?
A59669The tongue is a World of mischiese; what is the heart then?
A59669Thou art guilty of Adams grievous sin; will this breake thine heart?
A59669Thus the Jewes boasted, they were Abrahams seede: so our carnall people boast: Am not I a good Protestant?
A59669Thus, all they have or doe are sins; For, how can hee doe any good action whose person is filthy?
A59669To what purpose doe your multitude of sacrifices?
A59669Upon what conditions may Christ be had?
A59669Was there no Canaan?
A59669What bolts, what strong fetters, what unruly lusts, temptations and miseries art thou lockt into?
A59669What hast thou now to plead against this strange kindnesse of the Lord in offering Christ to thee?
A59669What hast thou to say against it, that thou doest doubt of it?
A59669What is the reason of it?
A59669What is the reason that a child of God hath little peace many times after commission of small sinnes?
A59669What sinne will gripe so in Hell, as this?
A59669What though there bee a God, if it be not thy God, what art thou the better?
A59669What though thy life bee smooth, what though thy outside, thy sepulcher be painted?
A59669What though?
A59669What was the Image of God?
A59669What will become of thine immortall soule when thou art dead?
A59669What will they think of me then( saith he?)
A59669What, must a man despaire?
A59669What, will this breake your hearts?
A59669What?
A59669When Christ told his Disciples that one of them should betray him, they all said, Master, is it I?
A59669When a Child of God is humbled indeed, commonly hee makes God a hard- hearted cruell God, loth to helpe; and saith, can such a sinner bee pardoned?
A59669When thou seest the Heavens, say, where is that great Builder that made this?
A59669Where?
A59669Wherein did the glory or blessednesse of man appeare?
A59669Wherein doth a childe of GOD,( and so how may I) goe beyond these Hypocrites that goe so farre?
A59669Why post you from mountaine to hill, why spend you your money, your thoughts, time, endeavours, on things that satisfie not?
A59669Why should the Campe tremble when Scouts are asleepe, or give a false report, when the enemies are neare them?
A59669Why will you dye?
A59669Why?
A59669Why?
A59669Why?
A59669Wilt thou lift up thy voyce for the great Waters, and be silent for the silver drops and showers?
A59669Wilt thou praise God ● or the Se ●, and ● e unthankfull for the rivers and springs?
A59669Yes, say they, who can live without sinne?
A59669am I not baptized?
A59669and shall none be saved but such as are so precise as Ministers prate?
A59669and tell me, in what one thing canst thou please the devill, and doe God a displeasure, but by sinne?
A59669are there no plagues to confound him?
A59669are you wiser then others, that you thinke none shall goe to heaven but your self?
A59669as can a man that payes his Rent honestly every yeare, satisfie hereby for the old rent not payed in twenty yeares?
A59669can not a man be saved by his good prayers, nor sorrowes, nor repentings?
A59669canst thou bring in perfect righteousnesse into the presence of God?
A59669canst thou carry all thy sinnes upon thy backe, like Sampson the gates of the Citie, and make a light matter of them?
A59669conditions?
A59669could any frame a man, but one wiser and greater than man?
A59669doe I not live in the Church, and therefore resting here, hope to be saved?
A59669doe you thinke your selfe wiser than others?
A59669have I got more knowledge of Christ, more admiring of the Lord Iesus?
A59669is there a meanes of deliverance?
A59669must not a man trust unto Christ?
A59669of themselves?
A59669shall such an upstart teach me?
A59669there''s many seeke the honour of Christ, but doe you seeke his honour onely; Is it your last end, where you rest and seeke no more but that?
A59669what doe they that J doe not?
A59669what power of man or Angels can make the least pile of grasse, or put life into the least fly, if once dead?
A59669what should wee pray any more then?
A59669when thou hearest of mutations of Kingdomes, say, where is the Lord of Hosts, the great Captaine of these armies?
A59669when thou tastest sweetnes in the Creature or in Gods ordinances, say, where is sweetnesse it selfe, beauty it selfe?
A59669where is the Sea of these drops, the Sun of these beames?
A59669who can make the stature of a man, but one wiser than the stone out of which it is hewne?
A59669who hung out those lanthornes in heaven to enlighten a darke world?
A59669who sends the Sun post from one end of heaven to the other, carrying so many thousand blessings to so many thousands of people and Kingdomes?
A59669who taught the bi ● ds to build their neasts, and the bees to set up and order their common- wealth?
A59669why doth hee forget them when they have most need of him?
A59669yes, why ● inneth he then so?
A03611& when the soule seeth God taken away,& heave separated from him; he saith, Is this the pleasing sin that I have loved?
A03611& yet sinne against this God?
A03611( away then with those, I can not conceive it, and the like:) Is there any thing hard for me, saith God?
A03611( say they) shall a man drive himselfe to a desperate stand, and trouble himselfe unprofitably?
A036112 The second passage is this, Wherein doth this true hatred consist, that a man may know whether he have sinne or no?
A03611Againe, see what the Apostle saith, for this thing you have had godly sorrow, but what hath it wrought in you?
A03611Againe, this question may arise here, doth confession argue true contrition?
A03611And can these strong corruptions of mine be subdued?
A03611And in another place Iob saith, How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow downe my spittle?
A03611And remember this against that day, Who knowes but the Lord may shew mercy?
A03611And shall I thus reward the Lord?
A03611And then the heart begins to cry out as Elisha''s servant did, Master what shall I doe?
A03611And then they pray for him and say, Good Lord, who can beare a wounded soule?
A03611And therefore the soule now cryes, Men and Brethren, What shall I doe to bee freed from these corruptions?
A03611And therefore this is an idle question, what if a man die in this worke of preparation before he come to have faith?
A03611And what follows?
A03611Are these men onely wise?
A03611Are they all sealed up, and shall all the judgements due unto them fall upon me heavier then the mountaines?
A03611Are they pierced men?
A03611But if the world lies in sin, Christ never prayed for the world, and he will never save the world?
A03611But now a question will grow from hence; May not a wicked man that never was truly broken- hearted make a large and open confession of his sinnes?
A03611But now the question in the next place will be this, how doth the soule behave it selfe under this sorrow?
A03611But some will say are not all sinfull by nature, and are not some saved, and why not I as well as others?
A03611But some will say, how shall we maintaine this hope in our hearts, and by what meanes may we feed this hope?
A03611But the soule will say, Can all these abominations be removed?
A03611But you will say, When is a man bound and called to make confession?
A03611But you will say, what doe you meane by this musing and meditating?
A03611Can mercy be shewed to such a wretch as I am?
A03611Can these corruptions be subdued?
A03611Christ came into the world to save sinners, and why may he not save me?
A03611Did Christ and his Apostles raile?
A03611Diddest thou not commit such and such a sinne?
A03611Do we want matter for our preaching?
A03611Doe you know such a man?
A03611Doe you thus requite the Lord O foolish people, and unwise?
A03611Doest thou thinke to beare that which the Lord Jesus Christ could not beare with so much sorrow?
A03611Dost thou deale so with thy sinnes?
A03611Doth God sell his mercy?
A03611Doth thy Conscience checke thee for vaine thoughts, and cursed devices?
A03611First, know this, that there is a time whē God will not shew mercy?
A03611Give mee leave to take a doctrine by the way from the words; they when they heard this, who were these( they?)
A03611Good Lord, said they, Who can be saved?
A03611Good Lord, why was I borne?
A03611Hast thou sinned, then beare it, and looke to it thy selfe; so it is with carnall wretches, what comfort yeild they to a poore distressed conscience?
A03611Hath God made heaven a hog- f ● ie for such uncleane wretches as you are?
A03611Hath not he made thee, and established thee?
A03611Have I sold away my birth- right for nothing?
A03611He marvelled at the matter, and yet he did not know what the matter was, and therefore he saith, Who art thou Lord?
A03611He that heales overly, hurts more then he heales, are there not many to be humbled?
A03611How justly may he reject me that have rejected him?
A03611How many notorious vile wretches may say, Good Lord, what will become of our families ▪& villages?
A03611How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?
A03611I am sure my sinnes are such, and Gods Judgements are such threatned against them, and therefore why may not this be?
A03611I answere, is that all?
A03611I reason the point thus; is it because of your unworthinesse that you dare not goe to Christ?
A03611I say then, cast away thy shamefull hiding and concealing of sinne, and do not say, what will the world, and ministers say of me?
A03611I tell thee if holines doth seeme to fly away by disgrace& persecution, thē you must pursue it; Nay, dost thou say it is thy nature to sinne?
A03611If Iudas was damned for betraying of Christ?
A03611If he can not beare the one, how can he beare the other?
A03611If no humbling for sinne, no pardoning for sinne, and no share in Christ, no salvation?
A03611If the adulterer or drunkard did consider that no such person should inherit the kingdome of heaven, durst they goe on?
A03611If the beames of Gods wrath be not hot, what is the full sunne of his wrath, when it shall sease upon the soule of a sinfull creature in full measure?
A03611If their sinnes be so grosse that all the Congregation would cry shame, if he did not reproofe them, what will they say?
A03611If there be any soule here present that hopes to have any part in Christ, as if I should goe from man to man and aske, have you a part in Christ?
A03611If there be but any occasion of basenesse offered to the view of the drunkard, which way doth he not use to compasse his carnall delights?
A03611If we were drunkards, or whoremongers, then it were somewhat?
A03611In conclusion then, why may not my prophane sinfull heart be humbled and pierced?
A03611In the terrour of conscience( as the Wiseman saith) a wounded spirit who can beare?
A03611Is every man bound, thus freely and openly to confesse his sinnes?
A03611Is it not my sinne?
A03611Is it possible that a man should receive any mercy,& yet be so stubborne and rebellious?
A03611Is not God able to pardon thy sinnes?
A03611Is not he thy father that hath bought thee?
A03611Is not this your complaint many times?
A03611Is that all you can say?
A03611Is there not?
A03611Is this all the price?
A03611Is this all thy pleasure that thou art a hater of God?
A03611It is ordinary with every carnall heart more or lesse, to reason as Eliphaz with Iob; How doth God know?
A03611It is so, that the soule of a man is thus pierced to the quicke, and runne thorow by the wrath of the Almighty?
A03611Lord, how shall I doe?
A03611Men and brethren, What shall we doe to be saved?
A03611No man repenteth him of his wickednesse, saying, What have I done?
A03611No sure, but he loves him, he covers him, he hides him, and would not have him knowne, he is a lover of a traitor, and a traitor himselfe?
A03611No, no, the soule that is truely conuicted of sinne yeelds it selfe, and saith I have sinned; Oh what shall I do unto thee thou preserver of men?
A03611No?
A03611Now I come to the fruits of godly sorrow, which are from these words, They said to Peter& the other Apostles, Men and brethren what shall wee do?
A03611Now canst thou jeere at the Saints, that are thus wounded?
A03611Now it may be some will say, it is good that you say, but what meanes must we use to come to this sight of sinne?
A03611Now why did these fal away?
A03611O foolish people and unwise, all love on Gods part, and all negligence on ours?
A03611O ● hou wretch, is this all?
A03611Oh fearefull, is it possible there should harbour such a spirit in any man?
A03611Oh that the Lord would now guide the minister, to lay his hand on the sore of this cursed infidelitie of minde?
A03611Oh that this heart should ever be so opposite against the Lord?
A03611Oh thou poore creature, if thou hast the heart of a man, gird up the loines of thy mind, and see what thou canst doe?
A03611Oh( say some) the minister speakes home to such a one, he touched him to the quicke: What is that to thee?
A03611Runne too and fro, what is that?
A03611Secondly, is it so, that the wound of a sinner is in his heart?
A03611That is, tell the drunkard and adulterer of their sinnes?
A03611The Apostle Paul thought himselfe once alive without the Law, and who but he in the world?
A03611The case of such a man is desperate: how shall we escape?
A03611The second use is a word of instruction; Is this contrition?
A03611The third part is the separation from sin in these words, Men and brethren, what shall we doe?
A03611Then good Lord of what a strange temper art thou, that wilt not beleeve it,& that wilt not consent that it is true?
A03611There are two things hardly knowne; what God is, and what our sinnes are, or else we hardly apply the knowledge of them to our selves?
A03611They could not be ashamed: why?
A03611Thirdly, seeing meditation brings marvelous comfort and profit to our soules, then what remaines?
A03611Thirdly, then the soule is carried away from sinne by hatred and dislike; and saith, Is this the fruit of sin that delighteth me?
A03611Those palefaces and blubbered cheekes, and feeble hearts, and hands of theirs; say thus much unto you, have you no regard of a man in misery?
A03611Thus carelesly, and thus proud, and disobedient?
A03611Thus the Lord commands mercy to the unreasonable creature, that is thus wearied with the weight that he carrieth; hath the Lord care of oxen?
A03611Was he so?
A03611Was not Cain and Iudas vexed and disquieted and yet damned?
A03611Were you ever in want, but God supplied you?
A03611What a senselesse thing is this to be such a 〈 ◊ 〉 as God hates?
A03611What a sinfull wretch am I?
A03611What if no man ever yet knew it?
A03611What is the reason of this?
A03611What must now be done?
A03611What ods is it for a man to be stabbed with a penknife or with a speare; or for a man to be murdered in the streets or in his bed?
A03611What will some say, is it possible that ever they should be so pierced frō their sinnes?
A03611What wouldest thou have me do ●?
A03611What''s the reason of this?
A03611What( saith one) is such a man turned?
A03611What, do the devills consent to the word of God,& conceive of it, and know that it is the truth of God and shall be made good upon them?
A03611What, is it a matter of infirmity?
A03611What, is this a good heart that is not in the way to receive any good?
A03611What, shall a man set his soule on a continuall racke?
A03611What, shall no great ones be saved?
A03611What, would you have of us Saints on earth?
A03611What?
A03611When any of Gods people fast or pray, they will remember you; what saith one?
A03611When the Lord hath let in a little horror of heart into the soule of a poore sinfull creature, how is he trāsported with an insupportable burthen?
A03611When the Prophet saw the way of the wicked to prosper, their eyes to start out with fatnesse, he saith, Doth God see this, and not punish it?
A03611When you appeare before God what wil you expect?
A03611Whereas this overly, and loose dealing of yours, is loathsome to us; doe you thinke we perceive it not?
A03611Who would not see his sinnes that Christ may cover them in that day of accompts?
A03611Why not thou too?
A03611Why was my goodnesse slighted?
A03611Why was my mercy despised?
A03611Why was my patience and long suffering abused?
A03611Why were they never Justified and Sanctified?
A03611Why, saith the Minister, what needs ● hee any comfort, seeing shee was never in distresse?
A03611Why?
A03611Why?
A03611Will anothers mans salve cure thee?
A03611Would you know what kinde of heart the Lord will accept and never cast off?
A03611You can be as carnal& as secure as ever?
A03611You that are at the lower end of the table, thinke with your selves; will the dish never come to the lower end?
A03611all those troubles and reproofes?
A03611and are there not many lusts raigning in the hearts of men and women?
A03611and are these the Judgmēts of God denounced against sinfull creatures?
A03611and can none such enter into the Kingdome of heaven?
A03611and can this damned soule of mine be saved?
A03611and can you be content that he should come home to your hearts, and dragge out your corruptions before the world?
A03611and canst thou wound them further?
A03611and doth it bring forth such fruits?
A03611and how canst thou be an enemy to corruption, except thy heart hath beene wounded with it?
A03611and is God so just, and so severe, and will he punish all sinners?
A03611and is this the nature of my pride to have God resist me?
A03611and is this the vile nature of sinne?
A03611and must I answere for all my petty oathes?
A03611and pierce him to the heart, and discourage him?
A03611and shal I ever carry this vile heart about me, that wil one day carry me to hell, if thou be not the more mercifull?
A03611and shall all these cursed abominations be removed?
A03611and the despiser of Gods ordinances doth not say, How have I rejected the Lord Jesus Christ?
A03611and thus his heart is full of feare,& he begins to reason with himselfe; what, is this the nature of sinne?
A03611and what canst thou say for heaven?
A03611and what if I might be free from all misery on earth?
A03611and what is the mint out of which all these plagues and Judgements come?
A03611and when he goeth from home, what if I never returne more?
A03611and when he goeth to bed he reasoneth thus; what if I never rise more?
A03611and who knoweth but God will doe so to me this day; plucke me out of the land of the living?
A03611and who knows but that God may damne thee too?
A03611and why came I into this world?
A03611and why did they never come to beleeve in the Lord Jesus?
A03611and why may I not be plagued?
A03611and will God provide a crowne of glory for his professed enemies?
A03611and will this proud heart never be humbled?
A03611and will you thus reward the Lord?
A03611and yet I shut the doore upon him: shall I now goe home to the Lord J ● sus Christ?
A03611and, Is there knowledge in the Almighty?
A03611are they not yet subdued as they might be?
A03611are you men or are you beasts in this kinde?
A03611as if he had said, Did God care for all that is done here below, could he brooke such strange oppositions of his word and his gospell and his members?
A03611but at last when all was spent, what doth he doe?
A03611can he judge through the darke?
A03611can not men keepe themselves when they are well?
A03611canst thou not get any assurance of the pardon of them?
A03611doe you not see that such a man is an oppressor,& a prophane persō?
A03611doe you see these, and not mourne and succour, and pray to heaven for them?
A03611doth it worke a holy indignation and revenge against your sinfull courses?
A03611doth not the Lord?
A03611every poore soule can say, never a poore sinner hath had a more gratious God then my soule, all my bones can say, Lord who is like unto thee?
A03611for this is the onely way: But what course shall we take?
A03611hath he any argument to alledge?
A03611hath not God been a gratious God unto you?
A03611have you no pitty saith the Lamenting Chu ● ch?
A03611how now?
A03611how often hath Christ come home to my heart, and desired entrance?
A03611if we rest here, we perish forever: can nothing be done against these our sinnes, that have done so much against the Lord Jesus?
A03611in misery, who succoured you?
A03611in povertie who relieved you?
A03611in sicknesse, who cured you?
A03611is it but, It may be all this while?
A03611is it come to this?
A03611is there any sinne which you would not have Christ come and remove?
A03611is this acceptable sorrow?
A03611is this the smart of sinne?
A03611it may be you will tumble downe into a well or hang your selfe, will you not?
A03611let us doe any thing rather then be hindered in our pleasures; what shall we do that we may not be checked and reproved?
A03611nay, what shall we thinke of that untowardnesse of heart which is in us against the command of this duty?
A03611no ● ● ith he: is it here?
A03611prove it: Loe, you thinke God hath need of drunkards and adulterers in heaven?
A03611shall I doe that against my selfe which the Lord shall doe in that day?
A03611shall I sin against his goodnesse and this kindnesse?
A03611shall not this poore fainting creature be succoured?
A03611shall we alwayes be poring on our corruptions?
A03611that many, that have the name of Christians, will not come in; thy word will not prevaile nor take place in their hearts?
A03611that we may be burdened?
A03611then of our bodily eyes: and if the question be asked, what wouldst thou have honour, riches, or the like?
A03611there is no questioning, nor searching, no musing: no man saith, What have I done?
A03611they answered him, what is that to us?
A03611they have a better course then so: for( say they) who knowes it?
A03611warned you to flie from the wrath to come?
A03611we are all opposers of God& his grace, shall all be damned?
A03611were you ever in weakenesse, but God strengthened you?
A03611what if I did want this horrour of heart, and had all the ease in the world?
A03611what is this meditation?
A03611what were this, so long as I had sin in my soule, that makes a separation betweene God& my soule?
A03611what, despise Christ and his Spirit, nay, make my case irrecoverable, and aggravate to my condemnation?
A03611what, provoke God so farre as to laugh at my destruction?
A03611what, shall we make men to be chamlings, to mince their meat for them?
A03611where broke you over then?
A03611why then, what if God should lay these Judgemēts upon my soule?
A03611why?
A03611will every wicked thought sinke the soule into hell unlesse God pardon it?
A03611yes very well: what is he?
A03611you your selves are ashamed of this work, and do you thinke God will accept of it?
A1928212. Who can doe more then create a thing of nothing, but onely God?
A192822. Who able to dissolue the works of the diuell, but the Almightie God?
A192823 Are there not vsually euill seede of an holy stocke?
A192823. Who able to forgiue an infinite debt, but an infinite power?
A1928233. and then those for this life; Do not they renounce Heauen, that make sure first for this life?
A192824. Who was able to satisfie an infinite wrath, but an infinite Deitie?
A192825. Who would haue sent God to dye, but God alone?
A1928257. contenting and establishing it followers therein?
A192826. Who could haue raised vp man from the dead, but onely God?
A192827. Who giues the blessing to the Word, the ordinary meanes of conuersion, but the mighty God?
A192828. Who searcheth and moueth the heart, without which there can be no true conuersion, but onely God?
A19282?
A19282Abuse wee not the patience of GOD, in not hearing when hee calls?
A19282Although the Lord shuld kill him, yet, doth not he still trustin him?
A19282And can the day of the Lord IESVS be accomplished, till this Word bee fulfilled?
A19282And can there be danger, where sinne is not imputed?
A19282And can they looke for better of the worlde, then to be handeled as Strangers?
A19282And did euer any hate his owne flesh?
A19282And doe any beleeue, but those that are ordained to euerlasting life?
A19282And doth not the manner of our Conuersion auouch as much: that it is by perswading, and mollifying of our hearts?
A19282And had not the Lord his end herein?
A19282And haue wee not dayly experience of the Iewes comming in againe?
A19282And haue you not already receiued the first fruits of your labours in Virginia?
A19282And if hee be with vs, who can be against vs?
A19282And is hee not in the day of trouble, a seruant to the Elect?
A19282And is it not good she should be thus blacke, to preuent spiriruall pride?
A19282And is it not most equall that the Lord Iesus should haue what hee hath purchased at so deere a rate?
A19282And is not that the truth, to which all must yeeld?
A19282And is not the Church the bodie of Christ?
A19282And is not the word of God, Yea, and Amen?
A19282And is our Conuersion then a worke of grace, and free compassion from the Lorde?
A19282And is the Church of God in this life subiect to infirmities?
A19282And is the seruant aboue the Maister?
A19282And is there not great reason it should be so?
A19282And is there not great reason why wee should be constant in the worship of the Almightie?
A19282And might not Iob be subiect to spiruall wickednes, as spirituall pride?
A19282And must it not bee so, that grace onely may be magnified, and God onely glorified?
A19282And ought not then the Church to striue euen for the best, with the best?
A19282And ought there to bee any thing more acceptable vnto vs, then to come foorth of Darknes into a maruellous light, to be deliuered from bondage?
A19282And shall Oppressors and Cheaters thinke to prosper?
A19282And shall not Dagon fall before the Ark of the Lord?
A19282And shall not Israel that preuailes with God, preuaile also with men?
A19282And shall not the Truth abide for euer?
A19282And shall not the glorious Lorde make good his word: Will he not giue vs constancie, that requires it at our hands?
A19282And shall not thy greatest falles further thee thereunto; as making thee more humble, more hunger after Christ?
A19282And so quickening theyr Faith in the merites of of theyr Sauiour?
A19282And surely, First, Who is able to bring light out of darknes, but God onely?
A19282And was it remooued from the tents of Shem; that so it bee planted in the inhabitants of Iapheth?
A19282And what if we be preparing a place in Virginea, or Ireland; to receiue the same?
A19282And what then can separate thee srō the loue of God, in IESVS CHRSIT?
A19282And what then shall separate vs frō the loue of God?
A19282And while they are rifling him, doe not the righteous escape?
A19282And who are they that haue bene forward to help the Lord against the mighty?
A19282And why art thou in heauinesse, oh my soule, why art thou cast downe, and disquieted within me?
A19282And why?
A19282And will the Lord be mercifull to presumptuous sinners?
A19282And will the Sonne loose any that the Father hath committed vnto him?
A19282Are not Abanah and Pharphar, Riuers of Damasco, better then Iorden?
A19282Are not Gods wayes vnsearchable?
A19282Are not his riches durable?
A19282Are not the Prophets iustly vile before the people, because they are partiall in the law?
A19282Are not the Saints hereby purged of corruption, and so prepared to glorie?
A19282Are not the wicked confounded by their meruellous protections and deliuerances?
A19282Are not their chalenges vnnaturall, and wicked, that denievs to haue a Church of God in Englād?
A19282Are not these Haruengers and Fore- runners of the great Armies of the Lord?
A19282Are not they deceiued in the estate of grace, when the strong man armed keeping the house, all is quiet?
A19282Are they not happily sheltred vnder our gracious gouernment?
A19282Are they not his Embassadors to treat with vs; Nay, his Orators to beseech vs to be reconciled vnto God?
A19282Are they not our Noursing- mothers, to dandle and suckle vs, as new- borne babes, with the milke of the Gospell, that wee may growe vp thereby?
A19282Are they not our fathers, to beget vs in all loue and compassion to be the children of God?
A19282Are they not our shepheards, to leade vs into the greene pastures, to dresse, and tenderly looke to vs, as the tender lambes of Iesus Christ?
A19282Are wee not all faire in his sight, and no spotte to bee found in vs?
A19282But by what meanes doth he occomplish the same?
A19282But what meanes is it that Noah vseth?
A19282But where is this Malignant Church to be found?
A19282CHRIST IESVS hath died for him; nay, hee''s risen againe: and seeing he is gone vp, shall he not draw all after him?
A19282Can Beggars and Gentlemen looke for a blessing, that vsually walke in no calling?
A19282Can Players and Gamesters, Vsurers, and such like, expect other then a curse, that walke only in an vnlawfull calling?
A19282Can a true member be discerned by sence?
A19282Can her imquitie make the election and Faith of God of none effect?
A19282Can it otherwise be, where only nature, and not grace, is the seeds- man to posteritie?
A19282Can she expect the crown, before she haue sought the good fight of Faith?
A19282Can shee bee like vnto her Master, if shee doe not suffer with him?
A19282Can shee raigne with her Sauiour, if shee doe not conquer with him?
A19282Can the truely Righteous, possibly fall away finally?
A19282Can there be happier securitie, where heauen is the purchase?
A19282Can they desire better, then to be vsed as Strangers?
A19282Come, let vs reason together; Hath hee bene a wildernes vnto vs?
A19282Could the gūpouder treason take effect?
A19282Did he die for any but for his Church, who is the Sauiour of his body, which is his Church?
A19282Did hee not prouide a Sauiour, before man had sinned?
A19282Did not iust Iob come forth of the furnace, more purely and gloriously?
A19282Did wee desire this day of affliction; or rather, are wee not called: yea, thrust out thereto?
A19282Do not the Apostles reioyce in Tribulation?
A19282Doe any of the Rulers beleeue in him?
A19282Doe not all the Prophets beare witnesse hereunto?
A19282Doe not all things, yea, his very sinnes, turne to his good?
A19282Doe not his Afflictions plucke out corruption, and so prepare him to glorie?
A19282Doe not many runne in a race and yet one obtaineth?
A19282Doe not many seeke to enter in, and shall not bee able?
A19282Doe not the weake gaine, by theyr sufferings to speake more boldly?
A19282Doe not these men dreame of a Feast, but when they awake, they are an hungrie?
A19282Doe the wicked heape vp siluer as the dust, and shal not the Saints diuide it?
A19282Doe they come vnto vs with a rod?
A19282Doe they not gaine and thriue in theyr greatest troubles?
A19282Doe they not in vayne boast of perfection, who necessarily must fight dayly, if they will proceed in grace?
A19282Doe they not liue, though they die daily?
A19282Doe wee not labour peace, and is it not the world that spurnes against it?
A19282Doeth not our Sauiour liue for euer, to quicken his eternally?
A19282Doeth the hypocrite make a shewe?
A19282Doth he not binde vs hereto, with euerlasting bonds of loue?
A19282Doth he not further, and enable vs by continuall means?
A19282Doth he vse miracles, to amaze, or tortures to compell?
A19282Doth hee not prooue a ransome for the iust?
A19282Doth hee vse Euthasiasmes, to inspire, or Dreames, to reueale a worke vnto vs?
A19282Doth not our inglorious estate in this life, prepare vs to the glorie of the life to come?
A19282Doth not the Church of God abide in Tents?
A19282Doth not the Lord euery day giue pledges hereby, of a fuller haruest?
A19282Doth not the Lord gloriously figure out their returne, by their deliuerance out af Egipt, and returne out of the captiuiof Babylon?
A19282Doth not the Lord offer parley?
A19282Doth not the Lord preuent vs with his grace, that we may be plentifull in good works?
A19282Doth not this also poynt out vnto vs two other conditions of the Church militant in this life?
A19282Doth not this manifest the carnall desposition of the wicked; who stumble at this outward basenesse?
A19282Doth not wisedome invite vs to a Feast and allure vs with her delicates?
A19282Doth shee so dwell in Tents, as not to remooue from them?
A19282First, Oh how vaine then is theyr conceit, that dreame all shall be saued?
A19282Follow wee then the spirite of God in the vnfoulding of them: What is the generall summe of the Blessings, that Iapheth shall enioy?
A19282For to proceede now to the substance of our conuersion: and thence to proue this manner of our Calling, by Alluring; as also the equitie thereof?
A19282Fulnesse breeds securitie, and securitie idlenesse; how then shall we plucke them out of the fire, if wee will take no paines?
A19282Greatnesse breeds enuie, not loue vsually: and how shall wee winne them if they doe not loue vs?
A19282Hast thou bene exalted aboue measure, and pufft vp with spirituall pride, of those graces that thy God hath bestowed on thee?
A19282Hath God any respect of persons?
A19282Hath he knowledge for any other end but to confound others, though himselfe be a cast away?
A19282Hath it not a long time rested in the tabernacles of Iapheth?

A19282Hath she not pitched her field to fight the battels of the Lord?
A19282Haue not all the Saints returned?
A19282Haue not all the neighbor- nations taken hold of the skirt of an Englishman?
A19282Haue not the best fallen, where this care hath bin neglecte?
A19282Haue sinners in Sion liued afraid?
A19282Haue the wicked any thing but for their sakes, though they can beteeme the Saints nothing?
A19282Haue they not grace to vse all well?
A19282Haue they not right to all?
A19282Haue they not troden vnder- foot the holy Citie?
A19282Haue we any further warrant of the protection of the Almighty, then, that we walke in our wayes?
A19282Haue wee peace of conscience, and so are at peace with God?
A19282How can shee choose but be soyled, being to trauell in such slippery& myrie places?
A19282How can they call GOD their Father, that neglect to bee nursing fathers to his Church?
A19282How could it be constant, if the mightie God did not keepe vs?
A19282How could our conuersion be free, if God were not the Author of it?
A19282How could we know the truth thereof, but by the spirit of God?
A19282How fearfull is their course that so liue, as vnlesse all bee saued, it is impossible, but that they must bee condemned?
A19282How gracious is our God vnto vs, that seeing we can not heare him speaking vnto vs and liue?
A19282How happy those parents, that sendssuch wicked seed before thē?
A19282How much greater a plague to make wicked our posteritie, by preposterous worldly prouision, and neglect of Spirituall Legacies?
A19282How ought the Saints to trye their sincerity, by their abiding in Gods house?
A19282How ought they to labour constancie, and perseuerance to the ende?
A19282How shall this appeare?
A19282How shall we make our Ministerie fully knowne, without suffering afflictions?
A19282How shall wee giue vp our account with ioy, if we bury our talent in a napkin?
A19282How vainely do they bragge of a Church, that exclude the word of God?
A19282If any desperate Iudgement come, who then deliuered, but the Saints?
A19282If any trust be to be committed, who then faithfull but the Saints?
A19282If the heart be good, will not the fruit be according?
A19282If they bee in Affliction, must not the Saintes pray for them?
A19282If we suffer with him, shall we not raigne with him?
A19282Is God tyed to nature?
A19282Is he any other then a stoole, to dresse foode for the children?
A19282Is he gone out from vs?
A19282Is he the Sauiour of any especially, but those that doe beleeue?
A19282Is hee not for his prosperitie and vaine- glorie, the obiect of the enemies malice?
A19282Is hee not more then conquerour through CHRIST, that loueth him?
A19282Is is perfited by enlarging the heart, to the obedience of our God?
A19282Is it accomplished by the word of peace?
A19282Is it conueyed vnto vs by vessels of Infirmitie?
A19282Is it effected by melting the heart, with the apprehension of the loue of God?
A19282Is it not a Decree, that as, Hee that soweth shall haue plentie; So he that laboureth not, shall not eate?
A19282Is it not as a cup of poyson, and as coales of fire, to confound and deuoure all the enemies thereof?
A19282Is it not as an heape of stones, to breake in pieces whomsoeuer shall oppose thereto?
A19282Is it not because wee are accepted with God, that wee are despised of men?
A19282Is it not better to obey God then man?
A19282Is it not by most sweet and peaceable meanes: euen by Prayers, and Teares: by en ● reaties, perswasions, humblings of the flesh?
A19282Is it not enough that the foūdation of God stands sure?
A19282Is it not enough to yeelde our bodies and goods, which they gaue vs not?
A19282Is it not meet& conuenient, that we should be holie, as our God is holie: that to eternall happines, wee should be made meete by perfect holines?
A19282Is it not most acceptable, to be offered vp in Iesus Christ?
A19282Is it not most reasonable and equall, that God should haue his will, who hath decreed our conuersion?

A19282Is not God the Lord of all the earth?
A19282Is not Gods purpose accomplished for the purging of his Church, for the preseruation of his chosen?
A19282Is not Heauen sealed vp vnto them, by theyr Heauenly and gracious conuersation, by theyr mighty preseruation, in, and out of all ther troubles?
A19282Is not Iapheth perswaded, and the Kingdome of Christ enlarged among vs?
A19282Is not Peter a sleep sweetly, euen in the prison, laden with bolts?
A19282Is not Prayer that life of our Faith, wherein we renue our right in Christ Iesus, and so in him preuaile with God?

A19282Is not this Yoke exceeding sweete, and this burthen passing light?
A19282Is not this for man to intrude into Gods prerogatiue, who is the onely discerner of the heart; who onely knoweth who are his?
A19282Is not this our little sister that hath no breasts,& yet shall giue sucke?
A19282Is not this that new Ierusalem, that holy Citie, which comes downe from God out of Heauen prepared as a Bride trimmed for her Husband?
A19282Is not this the barren, that shall bring foorth, and haue more children then the married wife?
A19282Is not this the victorie of our faith, that it ouercometh the world?
A19282Is not this to restraine God to man?
A19282Is our Conuersion any other, then a restoring vs to that estate which heretofore we enioyed in Adam, and lost by the malice of Sathan?
A19282Is our warre to any other ende, then to procure peace with GOD?
A19282Is she not perfect, and intire; but labouring to perfection?
A19282Is the Church otherwise blacke, but that shee is also comely and acceptable in the eyes of our Sauiour?

A19282Is there any thing more reasonable?
A19282Is there any vexation in his wayes?
A19282Is there any way to procure our peace, but by maintaining continuall warre against our corruptions?
A19282It is God that iustifieth, who then shall condemne?
A19282Knowe wee not that Iesus Christ dwelleth in vs, except we be reprobates?
A19282Lastly, what true marke is there of our cōuersion, which doth not owne this truth, that we were not compelled, but perswaded& allured therunto?
A19282Loe thus shall this little flocke preuaile in this life; and shall it not also be crowned in the life to come?
A19282Loe, this hath the Lord promised, and shall he not make it good?
A19282May not good Parents haue a wicked generation?
A19282Meane while, least the hope that is deferred should proue the fainting of the soule, Are not the Saints Lordes of all the earth?
A19282Must he not be beat with many stripes, because he knowes his masters wil& doth it not?
A19282Must not Iapheth dwell in the Tents of Shem, not Shem in the Tents of Iapheth?
A19282Must not Iapheth dwell in the tents of Shem, the first borne of his father, the sonne of the inheritance, the stocke of the promised seede?
A19282Must not the Church to this end be a Traueller vpon the face of the earth?

A19282Must wee needes runne to Hell for companie?
A19282Namely, the powerfull preaching of the word, and conscionable administration of the Sacraments?
A19282Nay, if wee passe through fire and water, will not the Lord be with vs?
A19282Nay, ought not fellow- heirs of the same kingdom, be of the same nature, of the like beautie, and glorie?
A19282Nay, what could hee haue done vnto vs, which he hath not done?
A19282Oh how doth this vtterly condemne and crucifie the flesh?
A19282Oh how vaine then is their confidence, that thinke they may be too holie?
A19282Oh why dispaire we to conuert, though now miracles are ceased?
A19282Oh, what a curse then is Barrennesse, and depriuation of posteritie?
A19282Or, shall nature necessarily enforce grace?
A19282Ought not citizens of the same heauenly Ierusalem, to be of one minde?
A19282Ought not members of the body to haue the like 〈 ◊ 〉?
A19282Possesse they not all things, though they haue nothing in comparison?
A19282Seeing, if thou trust in God which raiseth from the dead, Though thou art dead in sinne, yet shalt thou be raised vp againe?
A19282Seuenthly, Was not the Iewe an abomination to the Aegiptian?
A19282Shal not the Kingdome of heauen be taken away from vs, and giuen to a nation that will bring foorth better fruit?

A19282Shall we yet further wade into the consideration hereof, that she may be fully satisfied with the reason of the same?
A19282Shall wee not treadsathan vnder our feete?
A19282Shall wee wade a little further into the particular consideration of them?
A19282Should not Virginia receiue vs?
A19282Should we be afraide of men?
A19282Should we esteeme to be iudged of men, or of mans iudgement?
A19282Should wee not possesse all things, euen when in a sort wee haue nothing?
A19282Should wee not walke constantly with our God?
A19282Shuld we not ioyn together against the common enemie?
A19282The glorie that she hath, is especially within: Her beautie, is that which God hath imparted vnto her?
A19282Though wee bee as Wonders, yea, as the Off- scowring, in the reputation of the world: Are wee lesse dearer vnto God, then the apple of his eye?
A19282Thus doth the Lord perswade and allure our Conuersion: And are not his Ministers led by the same spirit?
A19282Thus shall the Iew bee gathered to the Gentile; and so they shall bee one sheepe- fold, and one Shepheard?
A19282To confound nature, and 2. aduance the free election of Grace?
A19282Trye we our selues by these, whether we be in the faith or no?
A19282W ● l he giue his glorie to another?
A19282Was not the blood of Christ auaileable, to saue euen a thousand worlds?
A19282Was there any beginning of his loue?
A19282What Faith in a better right, by renouncing Confidence in these?
A19282What Wisedome is heere taught vs, to become all vnto all?
A19282What comfort haue we in the least, seeing it is vnto vs as all?
A19282What great outward beautie was there here, when the house of God was in Tents?
A19282What is the true worship of God?
A19282What is this Carpenters sonne?
A19282What is thy Beloued, more then other beloueds?
A19282What life then is in that member, that is not dayly quickned by Christ?
A19282What may hinder the constancie of the Belieuer?
A19282What peace then can there bee, since the whoredomes of our nature are so rife, and corruptions so rebellious continually?
A19282What shall I say; the Church is Gods House, yea the gate of Heauen: and can there bee greater safetie, where GOD is the Owner?
A19282What trueth in that Church, that boasts of perfection?
A19282What wisedome ought wee to vse, to make first sure of the best?
A19282Who is the Lord, that I should let Israel goe?
A19282Why are wee then fearfull, Oh wee of little Faith: why awake wee this beloued with our contentions and outcryes?
A19282Why dream we of carnall peace, seeing our beauty is within?
A19282Why seeke we not our peace, in the peace of Syon?
A19282Why then doe we make them our warrants, to runne the broade way?
A19282Why then doe wee aduance them aboue all that is called God?
A19282Why then doe wee flatter our selues in vaine, with the continuall mercie of our GOD?
A19282Will he not perfite the worke that hee hath begunne in vs?
A19282Will the example of great ones deliuer from Hell, howsoeuer they may shelter vs from bodilie punishment?
A19282Will the great shepheard of our soules loose any, that he hath washed with his blood?
A19282adulterating the same by the intentions of men?
A19282and sweet promises of the Gospell, applyed to the fainting soule, by the Spirite of grace and Compassion?
A19282as if theyr Lawes were absolute, theyr authoritie vncontroulable?
A19282by which all must be directed?
A19282can the Lord deny his word?
A19282can we gather grapes of thornes, or figs of thistles?
A19282could they bee able to dwell with the deuouring fire?
A19282could they indure the euerlasting burning, because the common priuiledges be abused?
A19282ddid not Iapheths posterity falaway to the worship of Idoles?
A19282discouered by his Impatiencie, censurings,& c: howsoeuer he could not be charged with grosse open crimes?
A19282doe they not by this desperate tempting of God; runne headlong to destruction?
A19282doth he not here foretell of it,& so assure the returne of the Gentiles, before yet they were; much lesse were fallen away?
A19282doth not the Authoritie of man, abase and annihilate the power thereof?
A19282except she striue as shee ought to doe?
A19282faire be it frō the heart of the godly Magistrate, to tolerate a false religion; Is not this the way to prouoke the wrath of God?
A19282hath not God wonderfully preserued this little Iland, this Angle of the worlde?
A19282haue they not ioyned themselues to vs, because the Lorde is with vs?
A19282how can we hope for the continuāce of a Church, where the sound therof doth not cōtinne?
A19282how could wee haue receiued this, vnlesse the minde had bene allured, and nourished with the loue of God?
A19282how doth he perfect his power by her weakenesse?
A19282how doth hee aduance his power in her weaknesse?
A19282how fearfull is their account that possesse them without Christ?
A19282how fearfull theyr condition, that esteeme it great wisedome to abate in sinceritie: as if theyr former zeale courage were follie and rashnes?
A19282is shee otherwise subiect to corruption, then daily to fight with, and conquer the same?
A19282must I be taught by an earthen vessel?
A19282must not Iew and Gentile, make vp one bodie of CHRIST, and worshippe the Lord IESVS, in one Spirit?
A19282obscuring& deprauing the simplicitie and inward beautie of the gospell by theyr outward vernish, and carnall pollishing?
A19282or not rather with the spirite of meekenes?
A19282seeing our Husband hath deeepely charged his beloued should not be awaked?
A19282seeing there it shall be well with vs?
A19282shal corruption discourage from, of not rather d ● iue vnto Christ?
A19282shall not Antichrist be confounded?
A19282shall not Ierusalem be a cup of poyson to all the enemies thereof?
A19282shall not hee finde his life, that thus is willing to loose it?
A19282shall not the Church be a stumbling stone, that whosoeuer seeke to remoue it, shall be broken in pieces therewith?
A19282shall not the issues of this way,( howsoeuer seeming good) to these deceyued men, be the issues of death?
A19282shall not the sound of the Word, goe to the ends of the world?
A19282shall not this receiuing of the Iewes, confirme, and forerunne the most comfortable doctrine of the resurrection?
A19282shalt not thou also being purged, be graciously deliuered?
A19282should we know any man after the flesh?
A19282should wee not discerne all things, and yet be iudged of none?
A19282that I should part with my sinne, for a dreame, or a report?
A19282that he should be loued of his children, that are so made by conuersion?
A19282that he should enioy the seruice of his creature, which is obtained by conuersion?
A19282that in former Ages was not knowne, or accounted to be any part of the world?
A19282that we may winne some vnto Iesus Christ?
A19282what conscience in approuing our right, by our holy vsing of these things?
A19282what feare of further peruersion, where lawes are not executed, to cōpell men to perswasion?
A19282what hope is there of cōuersion, where doctrine is not deliuered, by which the mind is perswaded?
A19282what hope of that Church which growes worse and worse?
A19282what hope of that which shal be sufficiēt for vs?
A19282what pompe and visibilitie, in this simplicitie and meeknes?
A19282where deceiuers are permitted to poyson with corrupt perswasion?
A19282who could haue procured this, vnles God had giuē it?
A19282why doe wee boast of his glory and habitation among vs, seeing wee driue him from vs, by our vnthankefulnesse: and cast his words behinde our backes?
A19282why doe wee not labour the peace of Iesusalem, and well- fare of Syon?
A19282why hasten wee not the confusion of Antichrist?
A19282why plot we for the flesh, which is an enemie to our peace, whose peace is perdition,& contentmēt confusion?
A26872Am I C ● nverted, or am I not?
A26872And alas, must we lose our friends, and must they lose their God, their happiness, their souls for want of this?
A26872And are all these ready to receive thee, and yet art thou not ready to come in?
A26872And can you think he cares not whether his ends be accomplished, and whether we do the work that we are made for?
A26872And do I conquer all gross sins, and am I weary, and willing to be rid of mine infirmities?
A26872And do I still find thee doing the work of sin, and sleeping out thy life in negligence?
A26872And do you not easily perceive it to be true?
A26872And do you think that he hath any Pleasure in this?
A26872And do you think that this is a pleasant thing to us?
A26872And hath God made so glorious a habitation, and set man to dwell in it, and made all his servants, and now doth he look for nothing at his hands?
A26872And how can the Holy Ghost be our Sanctifier, if God be so indifferent whether we be clean or unclean?
A26872And how else will you know when the world is good or bad but by this?
A26872And how quickly will that day and hour come?
A26872And if the sin of the Devils deserved an endless torment, why not also the sin of man?
A26872And if your Brethren see you everlastingly in misery, how shall they pitty you that were your own destroyers, and would not be disswaded?
A26872And is God ready, the Sacrifice of Christ Ready, the Promise Ready, and Pardon Ready?
A26872And is God the dearest and the Highest in my soul?
A26872And is there a heart in man, in a reasonable creature, that can once refuse such a Message, such a Command, such an Exhortation as this?
A26872And make thee send to beg their prayers whom thou didst despise in thy presumption?
A26872And should all this be forgotten?
A26872And then how soon will thy mind be changed?
A26872And then whose shall all those things be that you have gathered?
A26872And we tell you nothing but the truth which you must know: for who will seek out for Physick that knows not that he is sick?
A26872And were you not commanded to seek first Gods Kingdom and Righteousness, and promised, that other things should be added to you?
A26872And when I sin, is it against the very habitual bent and design of my heart?
A26872And when they polluted his Altar, and made the Table of the Lord contemp ● ible, they durst say Wherein have we polluted thee?
A26872And who is it long of now but your selves?
A26872And why did he so long support thy life, but to see when thou wouldst bethink thee of the folly of thy waies, and return and live?
A26872And why should not the certain Word of God be believed by you, and prevail with you, which openeth to you these glorious and eternal things?
A26872And why should not you do so, that have Heaven opened to your faith, if you had but faith to see it?
A26872And why then should you not think so of the Threatning of an endless and unspeakable misery?
A26872And why will you not now be of the mind that you will be of then?
A26872And why will you not?
A26872And will that be any ease or comfort to you?
A26872And will you be worse then Devils to your selves?
A26872And will you do that against your selves which no one else can do?
A26872And will you set your selves to your own destruction?
A26872And with what Love and Ioy might we live among you?
A26872And yet art thou not Ready?
A26872And yet art thou not resolved to Turn?
A26872And yet art thou unready?
A26872And yet will you blame the absolute Lord, the most wise and gracious Soveraign of the world if he condemn the Unconverterted to perpetual misery?
A26872And yet will you not be entreated to part with your sensual pleasures for your own salvation?
A26872Are all things ready, and are you unready?
A26872Are the matters which we were made for, and which we live for, too high for us to meddle with?
A26872Are you in love with Hell?
A26872Are you not able to go by an Ale- house door, or to shut your mouths and keep out the drink; or to forbear the company that hardneth you in sin?
A26872Are you not able to read good Books from day to day, at least on the Lords day, and to convers ● with those that fear the Lord?
A26872Are you wiser, and better, and righteouser then he?
A26872Art thou able to confute him?
A26872Art thou furnished with a sufficient answer?
A26872Art thou not ready to be saved from Hell, when thou art even ready to be cast remedilesly into it?
A26872Art thou not ready to lay hold on Christ that would deliver thee, when thou art even ready to drown and sink into damnation?
A26872Art thou not sometime convinced that all is not well with thee?
A26872Art thou ready to enter the lists?
A26872As you are convinced that you have no Reason to destroy your selves, so tell me what Reason have you to refuse to Turn, and live to God?
A26872At your death- bed, how boldly might we comfort and encourage your departing souls?
A26872BVT how cometh it to pass that men should be so unreasonable in the matters of their salvation?
A26872Be not these strange matters to many of you?
A26872Because there are many, will you be of that way that you may be sure is wrong?
A26872Behold sinners, we are set here as the Messengers of the Lord, to set before you Life and Death ▪ What say you?
A26872But I am no whoremonger, nor drunkard, nor oppressor, and therefore why should you call upon me to be Converted?
A26872But I mean nobody any harm, nor do no harm: and why then should God condemn me?
A26872But alas, what poor stuff, what nonsense instead of reason, do we daily hear from ungodly men?
A26872But are not all men sinners, even the best of you all?
A26872But do you not know that the means do lead unto the end?
A26872But if thou think God cares for thy body, canst thou think he cares not more for thy soul?
A26872But if you do believe this, how comes it to pass that you live so quietly in an unconverted state?
A26872But if you will cast it out by forgetfulness or unbelief, how can it work to your Conversion and Salvation?
A26872But is not your flesh preparing for its own displeasure also?
A26872But let us hear what reason you have, why you will not believe this word of God, which tells us that the wicked must be Converted or condemned?
A26872But perhaps you''l say, What if we should find our selves yet unconverted; what shall we do then?
A26872But what is it that you are afraid of losing if you Turn?
A26872But what will you do for pleasure when these are gone?
A26872But why is it that God will reason the Cause with man?
A26872Can I truly say that I am dead to the world and carnal self, and that I live for God and the Glory which he hath promised?
A26872Can it choose but torment you to think of this your present folly?
A26872Can the candle burn without the oyl?
A26872Can you be madder then you are already?
A26872Can you expect that they should have any mercy on others, ● hat have none upon themselves?
A26872Can you find any fault with God or his work, or wages?
A26872Can you give any Reason for it that is worthy to be called a Reason?
A26872Can you make so light of Heaven and Hell?
A26872Can you think that an unholy soul is fit for heaven?
A26872Can you truly say that you do as much as you are able to do?
A26872Can your houses stand without the earth to bear them?
A26872Christ standeth as it were by thee, with Heaven in one hand, and Hell in the other, and offereth thee thy choice; which wilt thou choose?
A26872Could you heartily laugh or be merry in such a state?
A26872Dare you stand to ever an one of these Reasons at the Barr of God?
A26872Dare you think that the Holy Ghost doth take upon him a needless work?
A26872Darest thou say that the Almighty Holy God is fain to rule the world by a Lie, and to deceive men into obedience?
A26872Darest thou say to him, I will not depend upon thee?
A26872Darest thou venture upon a dispute with God?
A26872Did God put in any exceptions against you in his word, when he invited sinners to return, and when he promised mercy to those that do return?]
A26872Did he forbid you to pray to him any more then others?
A26872Did he say,[ I will pardon all that repent except thee?]
A26872Did he shut you out from the liberty of his holy worship?
A26872Did the many opinions of the world hinder you?
A26872Did the sins of professors hinder you?
A26872Didst thou ever consider, upon what terms thou standest all this while with him that calleth on thee for to Turn?
A26872Didst thou never cry to him for help in thy distress?
A26872Do I flie from them as my deadly enemies?
A26872Do I give up my self to a life of Holiness and Obedience to God?
A26872Do I hate my former sinful life, and the remnant of every sin that is in me?
A26872Do I love it, and delight in it?
A26872Do I need to say any more to you?
A26872Do not you care what men say of you, or do to you?
A26872Do we use to shut up the door of Mercy against you?
A26872Do we use to tell you, that God will have no mercy on you, though you Turn and be Sanctified?
A26872Do you believe all this Sirs, or do you not?
A26872Do you know how to answer such a man, or do you not?
A26872Do you know that you are Converted?
A26872Do you make no matter of difference between a bad servant and a good?
A26872Do you not observe that dayes and weeks are quickly gone; and nights and mornings come apace and speed ● ly succeed each other?
A26872Do you not see that in the course of ● ature every thing is fitted to its use?
A26872Do you not think of that?
A26872Do you think in your Consciences that it would do you any harm to be Converted and live an holy life?
A26872Dost thou believe that God is the Governour of the world or not?
A26872Dost thou know what it is, that thou wouldst yet have more of it?
A26872Dost thou know what will be the end?
A26872Dost thou know whom thou disobeyest and contendest with, and what thou art doing?
A26872Dost thou not understand and feel this voice,[ Turn ye, Turn ye, Why will ye die?]
A26872Dost thou think God careth whether thou be a man or not?
A26872Dost thou think that God careth what becomes of thy body?
A26872Dost thou think that God is everywhere present, and infinite, and Al- sufficient?
A26872Dost thou think thou shalt still esca ● e the Iudgement of God?
A26872Doth God command all this ado, for a thing that he regards not?
A26872Doth it love to be tormented with the Devils for ever?
A26872Doth it love to stand trembling before his Bar, and to be judged to everlasting fire?
A26872Doth not it grudge within you, and tell you sometimes that all is not well, and that your case is not so safe as you make it to be?
A26872Doth not this turn thy heart within thee?
A26872For to what purpose should he warn you if you will not believe him?
A26872For what Communion hath light with darkness, or Christ with Belial?
A26872For what are all other lower Creatures for, but for man?
A26872For what must you Turn?
A26872Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having on a wedding garment?
A26872God asketh thee, Why wilt thou die?
A26872God or you?
A26872Ha ● h Heaven more of my Estimation, and Resolution, then Earth?
A26872Had not you the same teaching, and time, and liberty to be godly as your godly neighbours had?
A26872Had you not a better world to look after first?
A26872Had you the world to look after?
A26872Hadst thou rather I did burn there for ever then thou shouldst live soberly as other men do?
A26872Hast thou any Reason that satisfieth thine own conscience for it?
A26872Hast thou any thing which thou hast not received?
A26872Hast thou had so many calls, and so many mercies, and so many blows, and so many examples?
A26872Hast thou not as much reason to be ready to come, as God hath to invite thee, and bid thee welcome?
A26872Hath he not made thee and established thee?
A26872Hath not God as much authority over you?
A26872Have I a new design, and a new end, and a new train of holy affect ● ons?
A26872Have I deserved this unkind dealing at thy hand?
A26872Have I set my hopes and heart in heaven?
A26872Have I thankfully entertained my Saviour and Lord, that offered himself with pardon and life to my soul?
A26872Have you any good Reason to give, why you should not Turn, and presently Turn with all your hearts?
A26872Have you been thus born again and made anew?
A26872He hath done his part, and spared thee yet longer, and tryed thee another and another year: and yet dost thou not Turn?
A26872He hath much entrusted you with your own salvation: and will you betray your trust?
A26872He hath set you with all diligence to keep your hearts: and is this the keeping of them?
A26872How canst thou open it, and read a leaf, or hear a Chapter, and not perceive God bids thee Turn?
A26872How come they else to be such importunate Tempters of men: which we feel, alas, by too much experience?
A26872How diligent in hearing, and learning, and enquiring?
A26872How eager are the Devils to be doing with thee that have tempted thee ▪ and do but wait for th ● word from God, to take and use thee as their own?
A26872How earnest would you be with God in Prayer?
A26872How easily can he at any time say to thy guilty soul,[ Come away and live in that flesh no more till the resurrection] and it can not resist?
A26872How easily can he lay that flesh under gripes and groans, and make it too weak to hold thy soul, and make it more loathsom then the dung of the earth?
A26872How fearful of sinning in thought, word, or deed?
A26872How glad is he when he heare ● h thee revile the Minister that would draw thee from thy sin, and help to save thee?
A26872How long wilt thou hate thy friends, and love thine enemies?
A26872How low and base is your earthly, fleshly, sinful life, in comparison of the noble spiritual life of true Believers?
A26872How many years hath God looked for the fruits of Love and Holiness from thee, and hath found none?
A26872How many, how loud, how earnest, how dreadful, and yet what encourageing joyful Calls?
A26872How might we come to be truly converted?
A26872How resolutely would you scorn to yield to such temptations as now deceive you and carry you away?
A26872How serious in meditating on the Laws of God?
A26872How then can they live in that perfect love of him, and full delights, and Communion with him, which is the blessedness of heaven?
A26872How zealously would you bestir your selves for that most blessed life?
A26872I know this is not the first time that you have heard it; but how have you regarded it, or how do you regard it now?
A26872I will not be beholden to thee for the life and mercies of another day?
A26872I would ask you, Whether you would have the Rulers of the world to take no care what men say or do, or would you not?
A26872If God did not much regard our hearts and lives, why doth he make all the world to be our Servants?
A26872If God do not care so much what is in our hearts, or what we do, Why then would he make a Law for our hearts, and words, and ways?
A26872If I came hungry or naked to one of your doors, would you not part with more then a cup of drink to relieve me?
A26872If not, Who made thee, and preserveth thee?
A26872If not, then how comest thou by thy life, and health, and mercies?
A26872If not, why then should you think to be acquit for a course of sin against the Lord?
A26872If not; will you go on against Reason it self?
A26872If so, may I not say, thou art an unmerciful monster, and not a man?
A26872If the dreadfull God of Heaven be slighted, who then shall be regarded?
A26872If the inestimable Love and blood of a Redeemer be made light of, what then shall be valued?
A26872If the town were wilfully set on fire, you would ask, What wicked wretch did this?
A26872If they come from any other fountain- tell us from whence; Is it not to God that thou prayest for life and health?
A26872If this had been his delight, how easily could he have had thee long ago in Hell?
A26872If thou hadst any spiritual life and sense in thee, at least thou wouldst say, this Call is the dreadful voice of God, and who dare disobey?
A26872If thou hast, let us hear them; bring them forth, and make them good?
A26872If we saw a man killed and cut in pieces by the way, we would presently ask, Oh who did this cruel deed?
A26872If you can not tell the day or the week of your change, or the very Sermon that Converted you, yet do you find that the work is done?
A26872If you have a servant that robbeth you, will you take such an answer from him?
A26872If you saw a Lamb lie killed in the way, would you sooner suspect the sheep, or the dog, or woolf, to be the author of it, if they both stood by?
A26872If you think you have some reason to sin, should you not remember that death is the wages of sin?
A26872If you were to die this day, had you not rather die in the case of a Conveted man, then of the Unconverted?
A26872If you will commit again your old sins, what blessing can you expect on the means for your Conversion?
A26872If you will, why do you not?
A26872If your natural lives were in your own hands, that you should not die till you would kill your selves; how long would most of you live?
A26872Is a little drink, or meat, or ease, is the good words of sinners, is the riches of this world to be valued above the Joyes of heaven?
A26872Is an immortal soul of no more worth?
A26872Is eternal death a thing to be de desired?
A26872Is he a bad Master?
A26872Is it I, or is it Satan that is thy enemy?
A26872Is it I, or is it thy carnal self that would undo thee?
A26872Is it a Pleasure to him to see you go on in sin, and can not stop you?
A26872Is it an holy life, or a life of sin that thou hast cause to fly from?
A26872Is it evil to be like God?
A26872Is it harm to you to have the Spirit of Christ within you?
A26872Is it not a strange Thing which God doth seem here to suppose, that any man should be willing to die, and be damned?
A26872Is it not said that God made man in his image?
A26872Is it possible that a man can have any Reason to break his Masters Laws?
A26872Is it possible that a man can have any good reason to damn his own Immortal soul?
A26872Is it so good to thee?
A26872Is it thus indeed with me, or is it not?
A26872Is it to be saved, if you turn and be sanctified?
A26872Is it your friends?
A26872Is it your pleasures that you are afraid of losing?
A26872Is my heart broken or humbled within me for my former life?
A26872Is my heart now turned another way?
A26872Is my request unreasonable?
A26872Is not God worthy to be the Ruler of your flesh?
A26872Is not he thy Father that bought thee?
A26872Is not this the Truth of your case Sirs?
A26872Is that doing as well as you can, when you will not Turn to God, but your heart is against his holy and diligent service?
A26872Is the Devil whom you serve, a better?
A26872Is there any harm in an holy life?
A26872Is there ever a man or woman in this Assembly that is yet a stranger to the renewing sanctifying work of the Holy Ghost?
A26872Is there ever an Unconverted sinner that heareth these vehement words of God?
A26872It s God that must sanctifie your hearts; but who corrupted them?
A26872It seems then you take the word of God to be false, and then what will you believe?
A26872Let the Potsheards strive with the Potsheards of the earth; Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it; What makest thou?]
A26872Let the world which you served now pay your wages, and save you if it can?
A26872Like a man that was born blind, and hears an high commendation of the light: but what will bearing do, unless he see it?
A26872Many mercies have I shewed thee; for which of them dost thou thus despise me?
A26872Mark the Lords question[ Turn ye, Turn ye, Why will you die?]
A26872Might you not live a comfortable life, if once you were made the Heirs of Heaven, and sure to be saved when you leave the world?
A26872Must I be Converted or Condemned?
A26872Must infinite wisdom learn of folly?
A26872Must the Almighty stand at the Bar of a worm?
A26872Must the God of heaven come to School to you to learn wisdom?
A26872My desire is, that you should Hope and Trust in God: But for what is it that you will Hope?
A26872Nor would he punish the world with Hell hereafter, or so many dreadful judgements here, as thousands feel, if he cared not what they think or do?
A26872Not ready to be saved, when thou art even ready to be condemned?
A26872Now what are they possessing that Turned at Gods Call?
A26872Now what canst thou say in excuse of thy sin?
A26872O how easily will the light of that day confound and shame such reasonings as these?
A26872O my people what have I done unto thee?
A26872O what thoughts will shortly fill your hearts, with unspeakable Delight or Horrour?
A26872Oh blessed God, what a mercy is it that thou didst not cut off my life all this while, before I had any certain hope of eternal life?
A26872Oh why did I not look after this till now?
A26872Or any that thou darest own and plead at the barr of God?
A26872Or are they worth the suffering of Eternal fire?
A26872Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to Repentance?
A26872Or do you think you may not have company enough in Heaven?
A26872Or what course should be taken, that is liker to prevail?
A26872Or will you go to Hell in despight of Reason it self?
A26872Or will you not believe that God will execute his threatnings because they be so many that are guilty?
A26872Or would you have him bring you and your sins to heaven together?
A26872Or, Why they will rather die then Turn?
A26872SO earnest is God for the Conversion of sinners, that he doubleth his commands and exhortations with vehemency; Turn ye, Turn ye, Why will ye Dye?
A26872Shall every mole, or cold, or dung- hill, accuse the Sun of darkness, and undertake to illuminate the world?
A26872Shall the living God send so earnest a Message to his creatures, and should they not obey?
A26872Shall the voice of the Eternal Majesty be neglected?
A26872Should not your own souls be as dear to you as theirs to them?
A26872Should your flesh be pleased before your Maker?
A26872Sirs, are you resolved what to do?
A26872So when we read that the most will be firebrands of hell for ever, we must needs think with our selves, How comes this to pass?
A26872Some will think with themselves, It s true, the wicked must Turn or Die: but wh ● ●''s that to me?
A26872Tell me truly, as before the Lord, Though you are loath to live an Holy life, had you not rather die in the case of those that do so then of others?
A26872The Controversie or Question propounded to dispute of, is, Why wicked men will damn themselves?
A26872The Lord condescendeth to reason the case with Unconverted sinners, and to ask them, Why they will die?
A26872The Lord condescendeth to reason the case with Vnconverted sinners, and to ask them why they will die?
A26872The Lord condescendeth to reason the case with them, and asketh the wicked, Why they will die?
A26872The Lyon hath roared, who will not fear?
A26872The Priests that despised his name, durst ask, Wherein have we despised thy name?
A26872The voice of the Lord maketh the Rocks to tremble, Psalm 20. and is it nothing to hear him threaten thee, if thou wilt not Turn?
A26872Then how comfortably should we preach Absolution and Peace to you?
A26872Then is it better to be a Believing Saint, or a sensual Worldling?
A26872Then will you jear at them that warned you?
A26872These have come near thee, and made thee feel; they have made thee groan, and can they not make thee Turn?
A26872Thou art his own, and owest him thy self and all thou hast; and may he not Command his own?
A26872Turn ye, Turn ye, why will you die?
A26872Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die O''house of Israel?
A26872Was I awake, or in my wits?
A26872Was ever such a change or work done upon my soul?
A26872Well Sirs, are you yet resolved, or are you not?
A26872Well Sirs, look inwards now and tell me, How are your hearts affected with these offers of the Lord?
A26872Were the Church- doors shut against you?
A26872What Reason hast thou to deny, or to delay?
A26872What answer did he make?
A26872What desires of your wel- fare did the Lord express in his holy word?
A26872What doth the earth but bear us, and nourish us?
A26872What harm can it do you?
A26872What hindered you, but the wickedness of your hearts?
A26872What iniquity have you found in me, that you have followed after vanity and forsaken me?
A26872What is there in the work that Christ calls you to, that should drive a man out of his wits?
A26872What is your resolution?
A26872What not Ready to live, when thou hast been dead so long?
A26872What now will you do Sirs?
A26872What reason have you willfully to perish?
A26872What sadder thing can you bring to their hearts?
A26872What saist thou, Unconverted sensual wretch?
A26872What say you yet Unconverted sinners?
A26872What say you, Sirs?
A26872What say you?
A26872What should be said more to you?
A26872What should one say to such men as these?
A26872What state is my soul in?
A26872What will you do if he take you once in hand?
A26872What will you do now?
A26872What will you do?
A26872What will you say if he begin in wrath to plead with you?
A26872What work will you be employed in?
A26872What would you have God say more to you?
A26872What would you have him do with his Mercy?
A26872When did you ever hear a Preacher say such a word?
A26872When shall it once be?]
A26872When the Lord had said, Cut it down; why cumbreth it the ground?
A26872When they weary the Lord with their words, they say, wherein have we wearied him?
A26872When you find it in the Word of God that so it is, and so it will be, do you think your selves fit to contradict this Word?
A26872Where were you when the Almighty made these Laws, that he did not call you to his counsel?
A26872Whether they have any sufficient reason for so doing?
A26872Whether thou be sick or well?
A26872Who can dwell with the everlasting fire?
A26872Who forced you to sin?
A26872Who is in the right now?
A26872Who is it that is so cruel as to be the cause of such a thing as this?
A26872Who is it that will have the worst of this?
A26872Who is it then that takes Pleasure in your sin and death?
A26872Who is it then that takes Pleasure in your sin?
A26872Who is it then that takes pleasure in mens sin and death?
A26872Who is it then that you Pleasure by your sin and death?
A26872Why are men so unreasonable and loth to Turn, and will destroy themselves?
A26872Why could you not if you would?
A26872Why did I venturously poste off, or flubber over so great a business?
A26872Why do all creatures serve thee with their labours and their lives, but that thou mightest serve the Lord of them and thee?
A26872Why doth he give thee time, and health, and strength, but for to serve him?
A26872Why doth the air afford thee breath, but to serve him?
A26872Why doth the earth bear thee but to seek and serve the Lord?
A26872Why hast thou Reason, but to Rule thy flesh, and serve thy Lord?
A26872Why hast thou an heart within thee that can love, and fear, and desire, but that thou shouldst fear him, and love him, and desire after him?
A26872Why hast thou an understanding soul, but to learn and know his will, and do it?
A26872Why hast thou meat, and drink, and cloathes, but for his service?
A26872Why have you not done it all this while?
A26872Why should God give thee a mind that can know him; and a heart that can love him, if he cared not whether thou know him, and love him or not?
A26872Why then could not you have been godly as well as they?
A26872Why then will you not become a sanctified people as well as they?
A26872Will any man purposely put arms into his enemies hands to resist him?
A26872Will not hell be as hot to you as to others?
A26872Will not such Answers as these confound and silence you?
A26872Will you Turn or Die?
A26872Will you Turn, or will you not?
A26872Will you be undone for company?
A26872Will you call your Maker to the Barr?
A26872Will you displease the Lord, and displease your Teachers, and your godly friends, and all to please your brutish appetites, or sensual desires?
A26872Will you do that which you have no Reason for?
A26872Will you fall upon this self examination when you come home?
A26872Will you resolve and promise to be at this much labour for your own souls?
A26872Will you wilfully take Poison because you can not cure your selves?
A26872Will you, or will you not?
A26872Wilt thou undertake to prove that God is mistaken, and that thou art in the right?
A26872Wilt thou yet go on and despise his word, and resist his Spirit, and stop thine ear against his Call?
A26872With this Nature or Corrupt inclination we are all now born into the world: For who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
A26872Would God have done this, and appointed his Ordinances for your good, if he had taken Pleasure in your death?
A26872Would be so strictly forb ● d us sin, if he were indifferent, whether we sin or no?
A26872Would he command us that which he doth not care for?
A26872Would he have astonished Angels and men by his condescension?
A26872Would he promise eternal life to the holy and obedient, if he care not whether we be holy and obedient or no?
A26872Would you have him bring you to Heaven whether you will or no?
A26872Would you know the will of God?
A26872Wouldst thou forbear an hundred cups of drink man, to save my life if it were in thy power, and wilt thou not do it to save thy own soul?
A26872Yea let me tell you, that even here on earth, you little know the difference between the Life which you refuse, and the Life which you choose?
A26872Yet hast thou not had enough of sin?
A26872You can say, that the Holy- Ghost is your Sanctifier, but do you know what Sanctification is?
A26872You migh have said,[ To what end should I repent and turn, when it will do no good?]
A26872You would be ready to flie in the face of him that should give you the lie: and yet dare you give the lie to God?
A26872Your flesh is pleased with your sin: but is your conscience pleased?
A26872[ Do you thus requite the Lord O foolish people and unwise?
A26872[ Iudge I pray you betwixt me and my Vineyard: What could have been done more to my Vineyard, that I have not done in it?
A26872[ Wherefore do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth not?
A26872a Son that would lay down his life for you, and a Son that longs for your death that he may have your Lands?
A26872after so many convictions, and gripes of Conscience: after so many purposes and promises, art thou not yet ready to turn and live?
A26872an obedient, and a disobedient child?
A26872and can you find this wonderful change upon your souls?
A26872and deliver the Sacraments which are the Seals of Peace to you?
A26872and didst thou not then understand that it was thy part to Turn and serve him if he would deliver thee?
A26872and doth not conscience tell thee that thou must be a new man, and take a new course, and often call upon thee to Return?
A26872and examine his Word upon the accusation of falshood?
A26872and how can you devise to grieve them more?
A26872and how careful to please God, and grow in Holiness?
A26872and infinite Goodness be corrected by a swinish sinner, that can not keep himself an hour clean?
A26872and reason to abuse the Lord that bought him?
A26872and reason to dishonour the Lord of Glory?
A26872and shall they therefore be acquit?
A26872and should not your soul and conscience be pleased before that corruptible flesh?
A26872and such a change indeed there is?
A26872and such as you never felt upon your selves?
A26872and that God hath by his righteous Law concluded that you must repent or perish?
A26872and that you have such hearts as are before described?
A26872and to have a cleansed purified heart?
A26872and to think what an everlasting life of Glory you wilfully despise and cast away?
A26872and what a bewitching and befooling thing is sin?
A26872and what can you say is the chief cause of your damnation, but your own Wills?
A26872and when he heareth thee curse, or swear, or rail?
A26872and wherein have I wearied thee?
A26872and who is it long of?
A26872and why do you not fall upon it yet?
A26872and would you not lay it to heart?
A26872and yet wilt thou now neglect it, and suffer us to return without our errand?
A26872are these such things as should make men mad?
A26872between a faithful friend and a deadly enemy?
A26872durst you live another day in it?
A26872hast thou not served the flesh and the Devil long enough?
A26872hast thou seen so many laid in the grave, and yet art thou not ready to let go thy sins and come to Christ?
A26872how can I find in my heart to disobey?
A26872is a life of worldliness and ungodliness better?
A26872it loves the bait, but doth it love the hook?
A26872nor care how he thinks, or speaks, or lives?
A26872of an holy and heavenly man, then of a carnal earthly man?
A26872or at least can there be a more dangerous madness, then to neglect your everlasting welfare, and wilfully undo your selves?
A26872or did you not keep away your selves?
A26872or fit and sleep, or hear as if you did not hear?
A26872or is the flesh a better?
A26872or so profitable for thee?
A26872or who did hold you back from Duty?
A26872or would you not rather be the more careful to enquire the way?
A26872that is, What dost thou in my Church among professed Christians, without an holy heart and life?
A26872to Praise the Lord with Saints and Angels, or to cry out in fire unquenchable with Devils?
A26872to see you merry, when you are not sure to be an hour out of Hell?
A26872to see you so miserable, and can not so much as make you sensible of it?
A26872to think what you must for ever suffer, because you will not Turn?
A26872when they were pricked in their hearts,& said, Men and Brethren, what shall we do?
A26872when thou hast been besides thy self so long?
A26872when wilt thou let go all and Turn, and deliver up thy self to God, and give thy Redeemer the possession of thy soul?
A26872whether thou live or die?
A26872which of them will you choose?
A26872why doth it afford thee its fruits but to serve him?
A26872will you Turn, or not?
A26872will you make or buy a Clock or Watch, and daily look to it, and not care whether it go true or false?
A26872will you sit upon him and judge him by the Law of your Conceits?
A26872would he threaten Hell to all that are ungodly, if he care not whether we were godly or not?
A26872● nd that they should much stick at ● he destruction of others, that ● ● ck not to destroy themselves?
A26915( and that is the best that can come of it) And who would now wilfully make work for sorrow?
A2691518?
A2691519. how much more evidently is this declared in the death of Christ?
A2691528?
A2691538 And I pray you consider, whether it belongs of right to God or you, to determine of the day and hour of your coming in?
A269153?
A269156. how small an apparition of his anger, did make a carouzing King look pale, and his joynts to tremble, in the midst of his jovialty?
A26915?
A26915Ah Sirs, doth Conscience justifie you in this?
A26915Am I ready to die, if it were this hour?
A26915Am I sure of my Salvation?
A26915And and what you have been doing all your lives?
A26915And are you thankfull to a plain Reprover, though he tell you of the most disgracefull sinne?
A26915And can you expect that God should deal so by you?
A26915And can you fear least Conversion would bring you into a worse condition then this?
A26915And can you have while for every thing, except that one thing, which all the rest are meerly to promote?
A26915And can you not bear such a sorrow for a little while?
A26915And did you ever consider, who and how many do stay for you while you delay?
A26915And do you as it were see the Judge approaching, and damnation hasting on, and yet will you delay?
A26915And do you not yet know why?
A26915And do you think it a small thing, to deface so noble a Creature as man, and to turne your selves into beasts, and mad- men?
A26915And do you think it indeed a wise mans part to live any longer at such a loss as this, and that wilfully and for nothing?
A26915And do you think it wise, or safe, or mannerly for you to make the God of Heaven to wait on you, while you are serving his Enimy?
A26915And had you rather sorrow as they do, then as the godly do?
A26915And have they not more Reason to seek their Own Salvation?
A26915And have you all this to do, and yet will you delay?
A26915And how can it choose but be a troublesome distracting thing to your mind, to be unresolved what course to take for your Everlasting state?
A26915And how can you more plainly shew that you despise God, and Heaven, then by such a course as this?
A26915And how comes it to pass that you think not of your own misery, that believe no better in the holy Ghost?
A26915And how free are his offers?
A26915And how have I dispatcht it?
A26915And how many would be saved, if we could but tell how to make men Consider ● te?
A26915And how shall he know when to restrain his sorrows?
A26915And if they escaped not, that refused him that spake on Earth, much more shall not they escape that turn away from him that speaketh from Heaven?
A26915And if you must lay out your thoughts on some thing, is it not better lay them out on these things, then on any other?
A26915And is it meet, is it reasonable, is it ingenious, for you to come out of such a Case, without lamentation that you staid in it so long?
A26915And is it not time for a man in so much danger to Consider of them, that he may know how to escape?
A26915And is there any thing in this life which you have cause to be afraid of?
A26915And is this a state to stay in an hour?
A26915And is your Everlasting happiness a matter to be wil ● ully hazarded, by causeless and unreasonable delays?
A26915And it is a sign also that you are in love with sinne: For else why should you be so loath to leave it?
A26915And must God Consider of you, that will not Consider of him, or your own Souls?
A26915And now consider what a case you are in, while you remain unconverted?
A26915And now who shall condemn us?
A26915And seeing it is a thing that must be done, were it not best for you to take the easiest and the surest way to do it?
A26915And shall I runne again into the misery that I was saved from?
A26915And shou ● d not these be thought on?
A26915And should I not be as serious, in the Matters of Everlasting Life?
A26915And should you not Study how to save your own?
A26915And therefore next ask your selves, Why should I not now Resolve and fixedly Resolve, to Turn without any more delay?
A26915And therefore to your more excellent immortall Souls, and that in a work that must needs be done, how exceeding unsuitable are Delaies?
A26915And thus follow on the discourse with your hearts?
A26915And what are the Reasons which you have on the contrary to hinder you from Resolving?
A26915And what business was I sent into the world about?
A26915And what causeless fears are they that use to afflict the Servants of God, concerning their outward troubles, and necessities?
A26915And what hurt would Holiness do thee?
A26915And what is more contrary to this then Delay?
A26915And what other Reasons have you against Resolving?
A26915And what pitty is it that so much should be lost?
A26915And what the better are you for being men and having Reason, if you have not the Vse of your Reason, when you need it?
A26915And where you have been all this while?
A26915And wherein do you differ from the beasts, so much as in your Reason?
A26915And who was ever the worse for Holiness?
A26915And why but to see and admire the Wisdom, and Power, and Goodness, and Mercy, and Justice of God, shining forth in the Redeemer?
A26915And why is all this?
A26915And why is this?
A26915And why not without so much adoe?
A26915And why should I not do so now, when they are as sure as if I saw them, and when I must see them ere it be long?
A26915And why then will you not Resolve for it?
A26915And will a man that is unresolved forsake his friends, estate, and life, for the sake of Christ, and the hopes of Glory?
A26915And will any man do this for he knows not what?
A26915And will not God then Love his Own do you think?
A26915And will the great and blessed God invite thee to his favour, and wilt thou delay and demurre upon the Return?
A26915And will you now Delay to accept the benefit, and turn to him?
A26915And will you say, It''s time enough to morrow?
A26915And will you trifle then in a work that must be done?
A26915And withall consider, that when it comes, it will be most sore to such as you: and then what thoughts do you think you shall have of these Delaies?
A26915And yet after all these Reasons art thou not Resolved?
A26915And yet are you unresolved?
A26915And yet for all this will you not Resolve to do it?
A26915And yet is not the way to Heaven fair enough for you?
A26915And yet is not this your everie- daies practice?
A26915And yet these same men can not Resolve in seaven years time, and seaven to that, whether Heaven or Earth should be more loved and laboured for?
A26915And yet will you Delay to accept the blessed offers of Grace, which is a greater thing?
A26915And yet will you delay when it is not another, but your selves, that are sinking, and drowning, and within a step of death, and desparation?
A26915And yet will you delay your Conversion, and the making sure of Heaven?
A26915And yet will you not be drawn to the Consideration of such astonishing things as these?
A26915And yet will you not do it?
A26915And yet would you stay longer in it?
A26915And yet you will hypocritically pretend that you love God above all, when you will not so much as seriously Think of him?
A26915Are our Praiers, and tears, and groane; to be despised?
A26915Are our studies, and our labours worth nothing, think you?
A26915Are our watchings and waiting, worth nothing?
A26915Are you Resolved that it should be done, and must be done, and yet will you not Resolve to do it?
A26915Are you not able to go somtimes by your selves, and Consider of these matters?
A26915Are you not able when you are alone in your beds, or as you travail in the way, or at your labour, to bethink you how things stand with your Soules?
A26915Are you not blind if you see not this is in your selves?
A26915Are you not deep enough in debt to God already, and have you not yet sinnes enough to answer for upon your Souls?
A26915Are you not perswaded in your Consciences, that it''s better to dye in a Holy and Heavenly state, then in a loose and careles worldly state?
A26915Are you not yet gone far enough from God?
A26915Art thou content to be thrust out of that Eternal Inheritance?
A26915As the Prodigal said, How many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger?
A26915Ask your selves, Is my Judgment Resolved, or is it not?
A26915Besides, how unfit is age to be at that paines, that youth can undergo?
A26915Bethink you what you have done, and whether you have done the work that you were sent to do, or not?
A26915But if I did it in Baptism, what need I do it again?
A26915But if it be so dangerous to sorrow, either too little, or too much, what shall a poor sinner do in such a streight?
A26915But if still you say, you will turn, when will you do it?
A26915But if you are convinced that it is Good, and necessary, is it not better now then to stay any longer?
A26915But to whom is it that God doth thus Demosntrate his Glory?
A26915But what of that?
A26915But when is it that my sorrow is too short, and I should labour to increase it?
A26915But when you have searcht the Scripture, and find that it is the Word of the God of Heaven, dare you despise it then?
A26915But would you have the Spirit come in, while you hold the dore against him?
A26915But yet shall we undervalue so glorious a work, in which the Divine perfections do so fully reveale themselves to the world?
A26915Can any heart be so senseless, or deluded?
A26915Can it bring you into a worse condition then you are in?
A26915Can not you crush this Serpent when it is but in the Spawne; and can you encounter it in its Serpentine strength?
A26915Can not you pluck up a tender Plant, and can you pluck up an Oak or Cedar?
A26915Can not you spare God the Tenths; no nor the hundreth- part of them?
A26915Can you be content with Heaven alone?
A26915Can you better turn to God, when a godly life is the common scorn of the Countrey, as it was a while agoe?
A26915Can you deny your eyes, and your appetites their desires?
A26915Can you for shame beg of God to hasten your deliverances, when you remember your delaies, and still continue to trifle with him, and draw back?
A26915Can you forget that others are in Hell at this very hour, for as small sinnes as those that you are yet intangled, and linger in?
A26915Can you have while to work, to plow, and sow, and reap, and can not you have while to prepare for Eternal Life?
A26915Can you lament your sinne and misery, when you are unacquainted with it?
A26915Can you let go friends, and goods, and life, for a Glory which you have no Knowledge of?
A26915Can you love or serve a God that you Know not?
A26915Can you make it the principall business of your lives to seek for a Heaven whose Excellencies you know not of?
A26915Can you quietly beare it, when you are vilified by others, because you know your selves to be so vile?
A26915Canst thou bring any Reason, that is Reason indeed, against these or any of these Reasons of the Lord?
A26915Canst thou hear any livelyer Teaching then thou hast heard?
A26915Consider I beseech you what you do; And if it be so vile a thing to make any question of it, what is it then to be still unresolved?
A26915Consider but whence you are coming?
A26915Consider with your selves, whether a life of sin be that which you were made for?
A26915Could you for shame put up such a request to God as this?
A26915Dare you deny this?
A26915Dare you say, I am Resolved never to be Converted?
A26915Darest thou say that ever a one of them is false, or insufficient?
A26915Darest thou speak out and say that sinne is better; and that Satan hath provided thee a better work then God hath done?
A26915Darest thou thus abuse me to my face?
A26915Did I say They are Consid ● ring?
A26915Did it ever do you good?
A26915Did thy lusts, and sports, and wantoness deserve all; and did not God deserve some of them?
A26915Do I need to tell you how hard the way of Salvation is, that fly from it on mistake, because you think it harder then it is?
A26915Do not these Questions plainly shew that you Love not the work, and Delight not in a holy life; and that you had rather let it alone?
A26915Do sinners indeed believe that God and Holiness will do them hurt, and that sinne will do them greater good?
A26915Do you account this for Certainty and Excellency to be worth all?
A26915Do you doubt whether it be necessary to make so much adoe to be saved, and to be so strict, and make Religion our cheifest business?
A26915Do you doubt whether you should serve God with your families?
A26915Do you fear lest God will yet hate you?
A26915Do you imagine that you can better suffer Hell- f ● re, then hunger, or nakedness?
A26915Do you know better then God?
A26915Do you know what a life of Holiness is?
A26915Do you live upon him, and should you not obey him?
A26915Do you question whether a man may not be saved, without conversion, regeneration, and holyness?
A26915Do you think a man can be saved that is a worldling?
A26915Do you think a man can be the Servant of God, that liveth a fleshly life,& will keep his sin?
A26915Do you think a man may be saved that doth as the most do?
A26915Do you think a man that truly knows what Heaven is, and what Hell is, can still be in doubt whether he should turn or not?
A26915Do you think an unhumbled Soul may be saved?
A26915Do you think it a hard question whether you should turn or not?
A26915Do you think it would stand with the Wisdom of Christ, to give such unspeakable blessings as these, to men that have not hearts to value them?
A26915Do you think meanly of your own sayings and doings, and think better of others, where there is any ground, then of your selves?
A26915Do you think that God forgets your sins, as you forget them?
A26915Do you think that God will not call you to account for your Reason, how you have used it?
A26915Do you think that Herod had not some good Desires, that heard John gladly, and did many things accordingly?
A26915Do you think that there is ever a Saint in Heaven, yea or on Earth either, that is sorry that he stayed not longer unconverted?
A26915Do you think to bring down Christ and Heaven to lower rates, and to be saved hereafter with less adoe?
A26915Do you think to take so dangerous a surfeit, and then to be cured without a Vomit?
A26915Do you think you stand on drie ground, or in a safe condition?
A26915Dost thou believe Heaven and Hell as thou takest on thee to do?
A26915Dost thou ever use to retire into thy self, and spend any time in this need ● ull work?
A26915Dost thou not know that I look on?
A26915Dost thou regard thy own Soul?
A26915Durst they live so peaceably in a state of death, and in the slavery of the Devill, if they did but well Consider of it?
A26915Especially, if it were your servant, or your child that owed you much more?
A26915For how should the grave detain the innocent, and death overcome the Lord of Life?
A26915Forsooth you shall be mockt or jested at by others: By whom I pray you?
A26915God asketh you, whether you will be Converted and Sanctisied or not?
A26915Good Lord, what a thing is a senseless sinner?
A26915Good Lord, what a thing is a sensless heart?
A26915Had I not been better have spent it in his Service, and the work of my Salvation?
A26915Had I not sorrow, and fear, and care enough, but I must go back again for more, and renew my trouble?
A26915Had you rather be broken in Hell by Torments, then on earth by Grace?
A26915Had you rather howl with Devils and rebels, then weep with Saints and Children?
A26915Hast thou groaned, and wept, and confessed and bemoaned thine own condition?
A26915Hast thou prayed, and read, and heard, and fasted, and changed thy company, and much of thy course of life?
A26915Hath it not been the drudgery of sinne, and the offending of your Lord, and the destroying of your selves?
A26915Have you a desire to grieve, when you can not passionately grieve, and a desire to weep when you can not weep?
A26915Have you any Better matters to think on then these?
A26915Have you any Greater matters?
A26915Have you any Thing that better deserves your Consideration, then God, and your Salvation?
A26915Have you any hopes of Gods acceptance, and your Salvation, or not?
A26915Have you been all your life time surfeiting of the creature, and causing your own disease, and now will you grudg at the trouble of a cure?
A26915Have you not abused us enough?
A26915Have you not long enough been swallowing the poison of sinne?
A26915Have you not purposes in your mind to Repent hereafter?
A26915Have you spent you daies in seeking after God?
A26915He Reasoneth with thee also from thy own experience: What good hath sinne done thee?
A26915He fetcheth Reasons from his own Dominion, and Soveraignty?
A26915He fetcheth his Reasons from the certaine, everlasting flames of Hell: and is there not force enough in these for to Resolve thee?
A26915He reasoneth with you from his Almightiness: You are all at his Mercy, and wholly in his hands; and yet dare you disobey him?
A26915How can it go ill with him that hath God dwelling in him, and that dwells in God?
A26915How can you shew greater contempt of any thing, then to cast it out of your minds, as unworthy to be thought on?
A26915How dare you venture to live another day in an unconverted state, least death should find you so?
A26915How faire are you yet for Heaven?
A26915How full are his promises?
A26915How glad would many a thousand in other Countries of the world be, to have but the helps to Heaven that you have?
A26915How hard is it to cure a worldling of the love of money?
A26915How have I spent my time, my thoughts, my words; and how shall I answer for them?
A26915How joyfully may we pray and praise God with them, when we think how they must joyn with us in the Celestial Praises?
A26915How little do they use for God, when they have with seeming devotion resigned all to him?
A26915How little or nothing canst thou say against them?
A26915How long have some of your minds been troubled whether to turn or not?
A26915How long must we stand by with the light in our hands, while you are serving the flesh, and neglecting that which we are sent to call you to?
A26915How long will thy fleshly delights endure?
A26915How long will you keep it?
A26915How long would you have us wait yet?
A26915How long ye simple will you love simplicity, and scorners delight in scorning, and fools hate knowledg?
A26915How many such hath the world that God pronounceth a Wo to?
A26915How much more may God be displeased, when he must stay so long for his own, and that for your benefit?
A26915How unfit to begin the holy Warfare against the flesh, the world, and Devil?
A26915How will such men applaud a Sermon that drives at the Conversion of a sinner, and that tels them their misery while they are unconverted?
A26915How willingly should we prepare them the bread of life, when we see they feed and live upon it?
A26915I know as long as you are awake you are alway thinking of somewhat,( and perhaps when you are asleep) And what is it on?
A26915I know not how others think of time, but for my part I am forced daily to say, How swift, how short is time?
A26915I pray you Consider; Can you reasonably think that Conversion will do you any harm?
A26915I say, to make such a question as this, or one of these, is little better then to put a scorn upon the God of Heaven?
A26915If God and Heaven be not matter of comfort, I know not what is?
A26915If God should give the pardon of sinne, to the unhumbled, how soon would it be cast away?
A26915If I have nothing of my own, what need I to sinne, for the saving of any thing?
A26915If a Feast be prepared and spread before them, a good stomack will not stand to ask; How can you prove it my duty to eat?
A26915If any Papist put it into your head to ask[ who shall be judge of the sence of Scripture] I answer, who shall be judge of the judge of all the world?
A26915If he be threathened by men, to move him to forsake his duty, he saith, Whether it be better to obey God or man, judge ye?
A26915If he build a Navy, and you shew a man two or three pig- troughs and say,[ These are the Kings ships] would he not take it for a scorn?
A26915If he had not Thought on it, and Thought againe, how miserable shoud we have remained?
A26915If he lay you under his Judgments, and speak to you by his Rod, and give you a lash with every word, and ask you whether yet you will Consider of it?
A26915If it be bad, and a needless thing, then let it alone for altogether?
A26915If my eyes were but open to see that which I pretend to believe, and which is certainly true; even to see a glimpse of the Majesty of the Lord?
A26915If not, what Reason have I to delay?
A26915If one of these our wise neighbours, should study seaven years, to know whether the Sea be fire or water, whether a mountain be heavy?
A26915If such Books, and such Company, and such Mercies, and such Afflictions have not done it, what hope canst thou have?
A26915If such Sermons as thou hast heard could not do it, what hope is there of it?
A26915If the Bethshemites cry out, who is able to stand before this Holy Lord God?
A26915If the question were, whether you will be pardoned or no?
A26915If they say They know these things, judge by their lives whether they know them Practically or not?
A26915If this were all that a man did exceed a beast in, what a silly wretched wight were man?
A26915If thou care not for God, dost thou care for thy self?
A26915If you can not bend a twig, how wil you be able to bend it when it is a Tree?
A26915If you can not now find in your hearts to turn and live a holy life; What would you have done in the daies of the Apostles, or antient Christians?
A26915If you can not row with the stream, how will you row against it?
A26915If you can not turn when you have all these helps and means, what will you do when they are taken from you?
A26915If you could speak with any of those hopeless Souls, and ask them, How came you to this place of torment?
A26915If you did throughly know what a life of holiness is, how speedily would you choose it?
A26915If you have Reason, and will not use it, you bruitifie your selves?
A26915If you think us partiall, sure God is impartiall, what better judge can you have now, then he that is infallible, and must judge you all at the last?
A26915If you will not think of God, and your Souls, of Heaven, and Hell, what then will you think of?
A26915If your Landlord would for nothing renew your lease; if any man would give you houses, or lands, would you delay so long before you would accept them?
A26915In the Name of God Sirs what do you think of?
A26915Is God an Enemy, that you are loath to come to him?
A26915Is Holiness a Misery?
A26915Is a certain Kingdom, an Everlasting, glorious Kingdom, nothing to thee?
A26915Is a fleshly careless life so good?
A26915Is it a seemly thing for a man to be driven to Heaven by scourges?
A26915Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but you will weary my God also?
A26915Is it better to pamper a carcass that must shortly stink as the dung, then to provide for a living immortall soul?
A26915Is it enough for you, though you be despised and persecuted in the world?
A26915Is it not a pitifull case, that such points as these, should seem so hard to reasonable men, as to be so long in Resolving of them?
A26915Is it not most likely to be only the fear of death that makes you take up these Resolutions?
A26915Is it not out of a state of wrath?
A26915Is it not the sooner the better?
A26915Is it not time therefore to make out to Christ for strength; and should not the very sense of your disability disswade you from delay?
A26915Is it not your Judgment?
A26915Is it one hour of a hundred, of a thousand, of ten thousand, with some of you, that is thus spent?
A26915Is it your Resolution to live and die as you are?
A26915Is my Soul Converted, and truly Sanctified by the Holy Ghost?
A26915Is not God, is not your Redeemer worth the Thinking on?
A26915Is not the case plain before me?
A26915Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my Treasures?
A26915Is sinne a Paradise?
A26915Is the devil a Friend that you are so loath to leave him?
A26915Is the filthy pleasure of the flesh for a few hours, better then the endless joys of the Saints?
A26915Is there any difficulty in the point?
A26915Is there any good in it?
A26915Is there ever a man so mad that he dare speak this and stand to it?
A26915Is this the work that I made thee for, and that I feed and preserve thee, and continue thee alive for?
A26915It is he that must give you the pardon of your sinnes; and doth it not then belong to him to appoint the time of your receiving it?
A26915Love borne of a Virgin?
A26915Must God as it were hold the drunkard the candle while he reeles and spues?
A26915Must another man make it the business of his life, to Think how to do you good, that you may be saved?
A26915Must he draw the curtain, while the filthy wretch doth once more please his fleshly lusts?
A26915My Question is this; Hast thou ever s ● berly Considered of thy waies, and laid th ● se greatest matters to heart, or hast thou not?
A26915Not a man but a miserable fool will do it?
A26915O how the Kingdom of Satan would down, if we could but tell how to make men Considerate: How fast the Devil would lose his servants?
A26915O let not the Just and Jealous God stand over thee, and see thee guilty of such wickedness?
A26915O precious time ● what hearts have they, what lives do those men lead, that think time long?
A26915O sinners, what do you do, to make your recovery so difficult by delay?
A26915O then how earnestly should I think of these things?
A26915O then think of this poor sinner: Hast thou gone so farre, and done so much, and shall all be lost, because thou wilt not follow it to the end?
A26915O what a Confounding charge would this?
A26915O what a dangerous ticklish condition have you stood in all this while?
A26915O what a thing is a stony heart, that can forget not only the God that he liveth by, but also the place where he must live for ever?
A26915O what an ease is it to the Soul, to be free from so much of the burden of sinne?
A26915O you will think with your selves; was not God more worthy of my youthfull daies?
A26915Of the time you have had; and how you have spent it?
A26915Oh then it will come with horrour into your mind, How oft was I perswaded, and told of this?
A26915One would think it should be an easier question, whether you should turn to God and a Holy life, for the saving of your immortal Souls?
A26915Or canst thou think of the endless miseries of the damned, and yet be unresolved whether to turn or not?
A26915Or did it ever do any man good?
A26915Or how can you prove that it is my duty?
A26915Or rather will it not torment you one day to remember it?
A26915Or rather would you not either soundly whip them, or take their meat from them, till hunger teach them to use it better?
A26915Or what hath it ever done for you, that you should love it?
A26915Or when it may possibly cost you your lives?
A26915Or whether it be better to turn to God, or not?
A26915Or will you strive against sinne as the greatest evil, when you know not the evil of it?
A26915Seeing so great a mercy is offered to the world, why may not I partake of it as well as others?
A26915Shall God be your Master indeed, and shall Christ be your Saviour& Lord?
A26915Shall Heaven be your happiness, and have your hearts indeed?
A26915Shall Holiness be your business indeed?
A26915Shall I linger till death come, and find me unconverted?
A26915Shall all the rest of your work be undone?
A26915Shall he see thee read such urgent Reasons, and yet wilt not Resolve?
A26915Shall he see thee read these earnest requests, and yet not Resolve?
A26915Should a worm thus use the Lord that made him?
A26915Should not a creature obey the Lord that made him?
A26915Should you not bethink you a few hours, of the place, and state that you must live in for ever?
A26915So when Reason is laid asleep, and out of the way, what may not the Appetite do?
A26915Tell me but this: Are you vile in your own eyes, because you are guilty of sinne, and that against the Lord, whom you chiefly love?
A26915That God should assume the Nature of man into personal Union?
A26915That Reasonable Creatures should be so phrenet ● ck, that they can not be resolved whether it be better be saved, or be damned?
A26915The last thing that I would set before you to be Considered, is, What''s like to be the end of it, if after all this you should die unconverted?
A26915The question is not, what good meanings, or wishes, or purposes, you may have, but whether you are Resolved, and firmly Resolved?
A26915Then how wouldst thou abhor the name of sin: and how weary wouldst thou be of the pleasantest life that sensuality could afford thee?
A26915There is but one Infinite, unconceivable, perfect Good; and shall he be abased by such a question?
A26915Thou numbrest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sinne?
A26915Thou wilt never have better opportunities then thou hast had?
A26915To make once a question whether God or flesh should be pleased; whether Christ or the world should be loved, and followed?
A26915To what end?
A26915Upon the death of 50070 men; how much more may the guilty Soul say so, when he thinks on the Crucified Sonne of God?
A26915Was I so hardly recovered, by a Miracle of Mercy?
A26915Was ever man made Happy by it?
A26915Was it not in the power of Satan?
A26915Was this it that he preserved you for, and daily gave you in provision for?
A26915Well Sirs; if you will be Christians, count what it must cost you?
A26915Well Sirs; you see now what you must do: the next question then is, what you will do?
A26915Were it not better provok and despise all the world?
A26915Were it not better to lose the favour of all the world?
A26915What Reason have I to stand questioning the matter any longer, and to be unwilling to be happy?
A26915What a case are you in, if death find you unconverted?
A26915What a cheating, blinding thing is the world?
A26915What a confusion and warre do you thus make in your own Souls?
A26915What a loss will this be?
A26915What a shamefull unreasonable course is this?
A26915What a sweet work is it to live in the daily Love of God?
A26915What abundance Christ would gaine?
A26915What abundance of things have you to Consider of?
A26915What advantage hath youth?
A26915What an honour is it to have the Spirit of God within us, and to have a Nature so truly Heavenly and Divine?
A26915What an unreasonable appetite?
A26915What are you afraid of?
A26915What brings so many thousand Souls to Hell, but because they would not Consider in time?
A26915What contrivances some of them make for riches, or rising in the world?
A26915What do we fear, and groan under, and complaine of, but our Fathers physick, and the means of our Salvation?
A26915What hast make other Creatures in your service?
A26915What hast makes the Sunne about the world, to return in its time to give you light?
A26915What have you done with all your talents?
A26915What have you to do on Earth but to Consider how to get well to Heaven?
A26915What hours of the day, can a man come to you, and find your Thoughts altogether idle?
A26915What if it were but the case of my body, or state, or name, should I not earnestly consider of it?
A26915What is it sirs that you stick at, that you make so many delayes before you''l turn?
A26915What life is in his promises?
A26915What likelihood is there that ever so foolish a sinner should be recovered and saved from his sinne?
A26915What matter is it for having Reason at all, if it be not that we may use it for the matters of God, and Eternall life?
A26915What means of overcoming Ignorance like Teaching; and what means of overcoming Habituated Wilfullness, like Perswasion, added to informing truths?
A26915What minute of an hour can a man come and ask you, What are you now Thinking on?
A26915What need I to venture upon unwarrantable means, to preserve either credit, or goods, or life?
A26915What plain and plentifull teaching have you?
A26915What purpose you to do for the time to come?
A26915What rageing passions?
A26915What reason of distrustfull feares can you now have?
A26915What say you Sirs to this reasonable request?
A26915What say you, Sirs?
A26915What say you?
A26915What say you?
A26915What sweetness in every passage of his grace; and what a feast in his unmeasurable Love?
A26915What then should a Christian fear, but sinne?
A26915What violent rebellious senses to contend with, to Master and to rule?
A26915What was the Sonne of God, but Love Incarnate?
A26915What will this do for thee in thy extremity?
A26915What wise man would live an hour in such a case for all the world?
A26915What work transcendeth the incomprehensible Miracle of the Incarnation?
A26915What: is it that common Grace doth, if it no whit dispose them towards God?
A26915What?
A26915What?
A26915What?
A26915What?
A26915What?
A26915What?
A26915When should men make Hay but when the Sun shines?
A26915When sickness comes, and death draws near, you beg, and cry, and groan, and promise: When you feele the rod, what Christians will you then be?
A26915When you are thinking of the Reasons that should move you to be Converted, ask your selves?
A26915Whether Heaven or Earth should be more carefully sought after?
A26915Whether Heaven or Earth ▪ Eternal Glory or the transitory pleasures of sinne should be preferred?
A26915Whether a Holy, or a careless, wicked life be more to be desired?
A26915Whether do you think that Earth or Heaven will be the more glorious and durable felicity?
A26915Whether the Holy Ghost or the Devil should dwell in us, and guide us?
A26915Whether the Saints of God, or the servants of the Devil should be our chosen company?
A26915Whether the Word and Minsiters of Christ, or the examples and words of wicked men, should more prevail with us?
A26915Whether the fire be hot or cold?
A26915Whether these Reasons be not cleare, and what you have to say against them?
A26915Whether you should care and labour more to be saved from sinne and Hell, or from poverty and worldly crosses, and reproaches?
A26915Whether you will dwell with God and Angels, or with Devils?
A26915Whether you will live in Heaven or Hell for ever?
A26915Which of them was it that lost his goods, and which did save them?
A26915Which of these think you is the wiser man?
A26915Who can cause the Sunne to delay its Course?
A26915Who cares for the Physician that feels no sickness, and feares not death?
A26915Who was it that brought you to this Necessity of sorrow?
A26915Who will believe that you love the Light, when you shut the windows, and draw the curtains?
A26915Who will take a servant that is not resolved to do any service?
A26915Who will take an unresolved person if he knows it, as a wife, or friend into his intimate love?
A26915Who would travail on an hour longer, that knowes he is out of his way, and must come back again?
A26915Whom have you to blame, and find fault with but your selves: was it not you that sinned?
A26915Why Sirs, a man that is well in his wits, would think that these matters should be more out of doubt then the former, and speedilier resolved on?
A26915Why Sirs, are not your Souls worth the Thinking on?
A26915Why Sirs, if you had a hundred mile to go, in a day or two, upon paine of death; would you delay?
A26915Why Sirs, it is far grosser folly, I tell you again, it is far grosser folly, to be unresolved whether you should be Holy or unholy?
A26915Why Sirs, shall these trifles be done without delay, and shall your Salvation be put off?
A26915Why are you not able?
A26915Why do I not set about it, and speedily resolve?
A26915Why else did he give us such leisure, and ability to improve it?
A26915Why how can you be so blind?
A26915Why is it that all the reasoning in the world, will do no more good on a man that is deaf, then if you said nothing?
A26915Why this he hath done in his Word, and doth it by his Embassadors, and why then should I not consider it?
A26915Why what is this but to be condemners of your selves?
A26915Why?
A26915Why?
A26915Why?
A26915Will Heaven intice the man that thinks not of it?
A26915Will Hell deterre the man that thinks not of it?
A26915Will any man forsake all that he hath, unless it be for something better, which may be as sure to him as that he had, and may make him more happy?
A26915Will they lie at his feet, and beg for mercy, that feel themselves well enough without him?
A26915Will you Resolve without any more ado, and ease us of our grief and fears, and give us but leave to preach more comfortable Doctrine to you?
A26915Will you Turn this hour without delay?
A26915Will you be unresolved till the night come on?
A26915Will you believe in a Christ whom you do not know, and trust your souls and all upon him?
A26915Will you delay till this Harvest time be over, and the Winter of persecution come again?
A26915Will you obey God, and your own Consciences, or will you not?
A26915Will you rather throw away your Thoughts then God shall have them?
A26915Will you rest upon a Promise, or fear a Threatning, or be ruled by a Law, which you do not understand?
A26915Will you then make as light of his mercy as you do now?
A26915Will you therefore think to mend the matter, by sending one that knoweth not a step of the way, nor will not learn it?
A26915Will you turn or not?
A26915Would not these be your cries, if God should call you presently away?
A26915Would so many thousands live in ease, and quietness under the guilt of so many sinnes, and the wrath of God, if they did, but well Consider of it?
A26915Would th ● ● swallow down their cups so greedily, and give up themselves to the world so eagerly, if they did but well Consider what they do?
A26915Would they do no more to prepare for their speedy appearing before God, and for the scaping of Hell fire, if they did but Consider of it?
A26915Would you fain have one years sinnes more, or one daies sinnes more to be charged upon you?
A26915Would you not think him a mad man that would say, I will go on a little further, and then I will turn back?
A26915Would you stand month after month, intreating and waiting on them, as God doth on you, in a foolisher course?
A26915Yea and to choose the worser part, and stick to it in your heart and life?
A26915Yea he reasons with thee from the experience of all the world: Who was ever the b ● tter for sinning?
A26915Yea that you should undo all that we are doing, and make us lose our labour and our hopes: And yet do you not think to pay for this?
A26915Yea would you justifie God, if he should condemn you?
A26915Yea, all that fear God about you are bound to Study to do you good?
A26915Yea; but who knows whether these last Resolutions be sincere?
A26915Yet are you not ready to turn to God?
A26915You are Souldiers in fight, and your Salvation lieth on the victory: and will you trifle in such a case, when death or life is even at hand?
A26915You are travailers to another world, and will you stay till the day is almost past, before you will begin your journey?
A26915You live like mad men: for what is Madness, but a loss of the use of Reason?
A26915You may send a man on your errand that knows the way and yet will not go it, but loiter and deceive you: But what of that?
A26915You then think God deales somewhat hardly with you: And why will you not turn then by gentler means?
A26915You will do it, and you hope you shall, but when?
A26915Your present prosperity, and worldly delights are posting away without Delay: and should you delay to make sure of better in their stead?
A26915and another lash and ask him, What say you now, will you yet obey?
A26915and are you n ● t as much bound to do good to your selves?
A26915and can you ● eep that which he calleth you to forsake?
A26915and could not be Resolved after so many years Consideration; what would you think and say of these wise men?
A26915and how little or nothing hath God had of all?
A26915and in comparison of which they are all but dreams?
A26915and shall I go to it again?
A26915and shall all this be lost, for want of going to the bottom, and making a through work of it?
A26915and shall sinne be your hatred, and the flesh and the world be your enemies indeed, and used accordingly from this day forward, without any more ado?
A26915and should you not bethink you then, of the things that concern your own good?
A26915and still are you unresolved?
A26915and that I may not have Communion with the Saints in Holiness?
A26915and that I may not sanctifie the Lords Day?
A26915and what happy advantages have you for Salvation?
A26915and what may not Temptations do with the Soul?
A26915and what may not the Passions do?
A26915and when every one will be deriding and railing at you?
A26915and when will it once be?
A26915and whether any thing that can be said to the contrary, can prove it better for you to be as you are, and to remaine unconverted?
A26915and which of them shouldest thou preferre?
A26915and, What canst thou do more?]
A26915and, What would you have done in Spain or Italy, where it would cost you your lives?
A26915are you not Convinced that it were your wisest course to part with them this very day and hour?
A26915are you not led by Reason?
A26915did thy Land, and Livings, worldly matters deserve all thy Thoughts, and did not the saving of the Soul deserve some of them?
A26915do you not know that you forsake it by not for saking it, and lose all, by saving any thing?
A26915how oft had I inward motions to return?
A26915how oft was I purposed to be holy, and to give up my heart and life to God?
A26915how unready to appear before the dreadfull God whom you have offended; and what a terrible appearance do you think that will be to you?
A26915if I should tell you but one half the blessings of a Sanctified and spirituall state?
A26915is Sanctification but such a thing as this?
A26915nor know the meaning of your Baptismall Covenant?
A26915not to come home to thy God, to thy Father, to thy Saviour, to to thy self, after so long and wilfull sinning?
A26915of all your life past; of the Relations you have born; and how you have performed the duties of those relations?
A26915or are you not?
A26915or speak any holyer words then thou hast spoken?
A26915or whether sinne with Hell after it, be better than Holiness with Heaven after?
A26915or who can stay the ascending flames?
A26915p. 181. l. 1. r. this be?
A26915shall I provoke God by dallying with him, and hazzard my Soul by lingering out my time, in such a miserable state?
A26915that being reviled, reviled not again: that gave his life, an offering for sinne, and dyed, and prayed for them that murdered him?
A26915that never was contrite, and broken hearted for sin?
A26915then whether you should eate, or drink, or sleep, for the preservation of your bodies?
A26915they would be readier to say, How can you prove that I may not pray with my Family?
A26915till the Lord of the Feast shall take them to task, and say, Friend, how comest thou in hither, not having on a wedding garment?
A26915to carry a Judge about with you in your own brests, that is still passing sentence against you?
A26915was ease and idleness, or eating, or drinking, or vaine discourses, or recreation, the business that you came into the world about?
A26915was it not you that laid in the fuel of sorrows, and sowed the feeds of this bitter fruit, and cherished the Cause of trouble in your selves?
A26915was sport and merryment the end that you were created for?
A26915what a case art thou in, if this should once be the resolution of God?
A26915whether God or the flesh should be first obeyed, and loved?
A26915which is in plain English, whether it be better go to Heaven or to Hell?
A26915which is the more desireable?
A26915which of these is the better for thee?
A26915〈 ◊ 〉 Do you think that Judas himself had not some good Desires, that followed Christ so long, and preached the Gospel?

A2669529. and what is thy business without Gods blessing?
A266953, 4, 5, 6,& c. And art thou a fit match for such an antagonist?
A266953, 7. shall we think God will?
A266953. and yet do you wonder, why your Ministers do so plainly travel in birth with you?
A266953. how powerfully hath sin bewitched them?
A266953. what is the wrath of the infinite God?
A266954. as though the strength of Israel would lie?
A266954. or for the Potsherd of the earth to strive with his Maker?
A2669546. and will you not own it with your practice?
A266956, 7. and yet will you not come?
A266957, 8. where were the glory of divine Justice, since it should be given to the wicked according to the work of the righteous?
A266957. and what can be said more?
A266957. shall not such much more expect it from Christs holiness?
A266958. and hope that the favour of Christ''s ointments, and the smell of his garments will attract him?
A266958. as if thou wert but going to wash thee, or swim for thy recreation?
A266959. or to harden your selves against his word?
A26695AND now, my brethren, let me know your minds, What do you intend to do?
A26695Against whom you have exalted your voice, and lifted your eyes on high?
A26695Alas my Glory/ Whither art thou humbled?
A26695Alas shall I leave them thus?
A26695Alas, if the poor man think a Sermon long, and say of a Sabbath, What a weariness is it?
A26695Alas, what shall I say?
A26695Alas, what will thy sins do for thee, that thou shouldst stick at parting with them?
A26695Am I a mourner for the sins of the Land?
A26695And art not thou fairly offered?
A26695And canst thou get in without his leave, as thou must, if ever thou comest thither in thy natural condition, without a sound and thorough renovation?
A26695And doth not thy soul tremble as thou readest?
A26695And have I toiled all this while and caught nothing?
A26695And have they sped so well?
A26695And how shall I tell men, that which I do not know?
A26695And is it true indeed?
A26695And is this true indeed?
A26695And is this, that we have described, the Conversion that is of absolute necessity to salvation?
A26695And shew kindness to them that are kind to them?
A26695And the drunkard still at his vomit?
A26695And there came one, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
A26695And they said we will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth: And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man?
A26695And thou dost not know, but the next night, thou mayst make thy Bed in Hell?
A26695And were it not better thou shouldst be a joy to Angels, than a laughing stock and sport for Devils?
A26695And what is it that the Creation groaneth for?
A26695And what misery have my sins brought upon me?
A26695And whither else shouldst thou go?
A26695And why may not men be twice born in nature, as well as in grace?
A26695And wil ● thou yet believe thine own presumptuous confidence, directly against Christs words?
A26695And will God receive these for true converts, because turned to the Christian Religion?
A26695And wilt thou run upon destruction, when God himself doth forewa ● ● thee?
A26695And wilt thou yet be in love with thy self, and tell us any longer of thy good heart?
A26695And yet wilt thou not give up such a blasphemous hope?
A26695Any mercy after such provoking iniquity?
A26695Application, Arise then, what meanest thou O sleeper?
A26695Are there not many that name the name of the Lord Jesus, that yet depart not from iniquity?
A26695Are these out of the reach of humane power?
A26695Are you agreed that Christ shall end the controversie?
A26695Are you at peace?
A26695Art thou a man, and hast thou reason?
A26695Art thou a reasonable soul, and yet so far brutified, as to forget thy self immortal, and to think thy self to be as the beasts that perish?
A26695Art thou chief of all the Children of pride, even that thou shouldst count his darts as stubble; and laugh at the shaking of his spear?
A26695Art thou deliberately, understandingly, freely, fixedly, determined to ● ● eave to him in all times, and conditions?
A26695Art thou in league with Hell?
A26695Art thou in love with thy misery?
A26695Art thou in none of the forementioned Ranks?
A26695Art thou like the horse that paweth in the valley, and rejo ● ceth in his strength, who 〈 ◊ 〉 out to meet the armed men?
A26695Art thou made without fear, and contemnest his barbed Irons?
A26695Art thou now become a slave to sense, a servant to so base an Idol, as thy Belly?
A26695Art thou struck almost dead with the hellish damp?
A26695Art thou such a Leviathan, as that the scales of thy pride should keep thee from thy Makers coming at thee?
A26695Art thou turned into flesh?
A26695Art thou willing to come in?
A26695Art thou yet in ignorance, and not turned from darkness to light?
A26695Ask your self, what sin have I committed?
A26695Before the news of a Christ was a stale and sapless thing; but now how sweet is a Christ?
A26695Before this change all the cry was, Who will shew us any( worldly) good?
A26695Behold God''s workmanship in thy body, and ask thy self, to what end did God rear this fabrick?
A26695Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him?
A26695Believest thou this?
A26695Beware they be not found among the families that call not upon Gods name, for why should there be wrath from the Lord upon your families?
A26695But doth not thy heart condemn thee, and tell thee, there is such a sin thou livest in against thy Conscience?
A26695But how close doth this sin lurk oft- times under a fair covert of forward profession?
A26695But how long may I call, and can get no answer?
A26695But if it be the very word of God, that all this miser ● lies upon thee, what a case art thou in?
A26695But if these be short of Conversion, what shall I say of the profane sinner?
A26695But thy Conversion is necessary, thy damnation lies upon it, and is it not needful in so important a case to look about thee?
A26695But what is it that the Creation groaneth under?
A26695But whence shall I fetch my arguments, or how shall I choose my words?
A26695But would you not have me solicitous for you, when I see you ready to perish?
A26695By this time methinks I hear my Reader crying out with the Disciples, Who then shall be saved?
A26695Can Kings, or Warriors?
A26695Can Mammon?
A26695Can any other but Christ save thee?
A26695Can the lifeless carcass shake off its grave cloths, and loose the bonds of death?
A26695Can the world in good earnest do that for you, that Christ can?
A26695Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong in the day that I shall deal with thee, saith the Lord of Hosts?
A26695Can you evidence that you have something more than any Hypocrite in the world ever had?
A26695Can you shew the distinguishing marks of a sound Believer?
A26695Canst thou abide the consuming fire?
A26695Canst thou be content to burn?
A26695Canst thou charm thy Beast with Musick?
A26695Canst thou do well without his favour?
A26695Canst thou dwell with everlasting burnings?
A26695Canst thou escape his hands, or endure his vengeance?
A26695Canst thou hope he will be forsworn for thee?
A26695Canst thou think without loathing of thy trough and draugh?
A26695Cast away from you all your transgressions, and make you a clean heart, and a new spirit, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
A26695Conscience, wilt thou altogether hold thy peace at such a time as this?
A26695Consider how the Lord hath revealed himself to you in his word: will you take him as such a God?
A26695Consider the noble faculties or my Heaven- born soul: to what end did God bestow these excellencies?
A26695Couldst thou cherish it, and take delight in it?
A26695Couldst thou take up a Toad into thy bosom?
A26695Cut it down, why cumbreth it the ground?
A26695Darest thou make light of this?
A26695Dearly beloved, would you rejoyce the heart of your Minister?
A26695Deeper than hell, what can we know?
A26695Did not God find me on my Bed, when he looked for me on my knees?
A26695Did not I arise from the Table without dropping any thing of God there?
A26695Did not I mock God, when I pretended to crave a blessing, and return thanks?
A26695Did not I ra ● hly make, nor falsly break some promise?
A26695Did not I sit down with no higher end than a beast, meerly to please my Appetite?
A26695Did not he make thee for himself?
A26695Do I live in nothing that I know or fear to be a sin?
A26695Do I speak to the trees or rocks, or to men?
A26695Do not even the Publicans love those that love them?
A26695Do not thine own Cloaths abhor thee?
A26695Do not thy tears bedew the paper, and thy heart throb in thy bosom?
A26695Do not you see how Satan gulls you, by t ● mpting you to delays?
A26695Do you not think their condemnation will be doubly dreadful, that shall still go on in their sins, after all endeavours to recall them?
A26695Do you say the condition is impossible, for I have not wherewith to buy?
A26695Dost not thou find him a stranger to prayer, a neglecter of the word, a lover of this present world?
A26695Dost not thou find his heart fermented with malice, or burning with lust, or going after his covetousness?
A26695Dost not thou often catch him in a lie?
A26695Dost thou believe their truth, or not?
A26695Dost thou hear the creation groaning under thee, and hell groaning for thee, and yet think thy case good enough?
A26695Dost thou live in stri ● ● or envy, or malice?
A26695Dost thou live in the ordinary and wilful practice of any known sin?
A26695Dost thou not take more real delight and content in the world, than in him?
A26695Dost thou not yet begin to smite on thy breast, and bethink thy self what need thou hast of a change?
A26695Dost thou not yet see a change to be needful?
A26695Dost thou say to Christ, as he to us, Thy Father shall be my Father, and thy God my God?
A26695Dost thou say, Yea but my mind is blinded, and my heart is hardened from his fear?
A26695Dost thou say,''T is good to be here?
A26695Doth Satan put in, doth the World court thee?
A26695Doth he allow himself in any way of sin, or doth he not?
A26695Doth he not keep the keys of Heaven?
A26695Doth he set thee on the use of means, and dost thou think he will mock thee?
A26695Doth he truly love, and please, and prize, and delight in God above all other things, or not?
A26695Doth it not begin to bite?
A26695Doth it not carry thee to thy family, and shew thee the charge of God, and the souls of thy children and servants, that be neglected there?
A26695Doth it not tell thee, there is such and such a secret way of wickedness, that thou makest no bones of?
A26695Doth it not twitch thee as thou goest?
A26695Doth not Conscience carry thee to thy Closet, and tell thee how seldom prayer, and reading is performed there?
A26695Doth not Conscience say, thou art the Man?
A26695Doth not sin sit light?
A26695Doth sin sue for thy heart?
A26695Doth thy mouth water after the Onions and Flesh- pots of Egypt?
A26695Filth and rottenness, with glory and immortality?
A26695Hast thou experienced this?
A26695Hast thou made a Covenant with Death?
A26695Hast thou not felt some good motions in thy mind, wherein thou hast been warned of thy danger, and told what thy careless course would end in?
A26695Hast thou not only lost all regard to God, but art without any love and pity to thy self?
A26695Hast thou not selt thy heart warmed by the word, and been almost perswaded to leave off thy sins, and come in to God?
A26695Hast thou not taken upon him the gains of unrighteousness?
A26695Hast thou pondered these things in thine heart?
A26695Hast thou searched the Book within, to see if these things be so?
A26695Hast thou taken God for thy happiness?
A26695Hath not God been out of mind: Heaven out of sight?
A26695Hath the Law of the Lord been in my mouth as I sate in my house, went by the way, was lying down, and rising up?
A26695Hath the man been ever taken off from his false bottom, from the false hopes, and false peace wherein once he trusted?
A26695Hath there passed a thorough and mighty change upon him, or not?
A26695Have I been all this while speaking to the wind?
A26695Have I been charming the deaf Adder, or allaying the tumbling Ocean with arguments?
A26695Have I been diligent in the duties of my Calling?
A26695Have I been much in holy Ejaculations?
A26695Have I been often looking into mine own heart, and made conscience even of vain thoughts?

A26695Have I dropped never a lye in my shop, or trade?
A26695Have I look care of my company?

A26695Have you not heard the same truths, from the Pulpit, by publick labours, and by private letters, by personal instructions?
A26695Have you read hitherto, and are not yet resolved upon a present abandoning all your sins, and closing with Jesus Christ?
A26695He is willing of the dominion of Christ, as well as deliverance by Christ; he saith with Paul, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
A26695He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardned himself against him, and prospered?
A26695He will not be thought a fautor of sin, nor stain the glory of his holiness, and whither could he come lower than he hath, unless he should do this?
A26695He ● miser, quid sum?
A26695Hear what the Lord saith; Fear ye not me, saith the Lord?
A26695Hear, O ye drunkards, How long will you be drunken?
A26695Hearest thou the curses and blasphemies, the weepings and the wailings, how they lament their folly, and curse their day?

A26695I deal much upon trust, will you be content to labour, and suffer, and to tarry for your returns till the Resurrection of the Just?
A26695I will try thee yet once again: If one were sent to thee from the dead, wouldst thou be perswaded?
A26695I would reason with you, 〈 ◊ 〉 God with them; How canst thou say, I am not polluted?
A26695IT may be you are ready to say, what meaneth this stir?

A26695Is it a Scripture peace?

A26695Is it good for thee to be here?
A26695Is it good for thee to try whether God will be so good as his word?
A26695Is it not a dreadful case to have the Gospel it self fill its mouth with threats, and thunder, and damnation?
A26695Is it not for the divine pleasure thou art and wert created?
A26695Is it not good comfort, that he calleth thee?

A26695It pressed the very blood( to a wonder) out of his veins, and broke all his bones: and if it did this in the green tree, what will it do in the dry?
A26695It was the passage of the Eunuch to Philip; See here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized?

A26695Know you not, that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?
A26695Let me say to thee, as Paul to Agrippa, Believest thou the Prophets?
A26695Let me say to you, as Naaman''s servant to him: My Father, if the Prophet had b ● d thee do some great thing, wouldst then not have done it?
A26695Let your conscience speak?
A26695Look backward, where was ever the place, what was ever the time, in which thou didst not sin?
A26695Look in now and tell me, dost thou yet believe?
A26695Look inward, what part or power canst thou find in soul or body, but it is poisoned with sin?
A26695Look upon an enlightned sinner, who feels the weight of his own guilt, oh how frightful are his looks, how fearful are his complaints?
A26695Lord, how am I surrounded?
A26695Lord, how universally am I corrupted, in all my parts, powers, performances?
A26695Lord, what a case am I in?
A26695Lord, what a loathsome Leper am I?
A26695Lord, wherewith shall I woo them?
A26695Man, I tell thee, nothing in all the world can undo thee, but thine unwillingness ● Speak man, art thou willing of the match?
A26695Man, doth not thine heart tremble to think of thy being an object of God''s hatred?
A26695Man, is not thy conscience privy to thy tricks of deceit, to thy chamber pranks, to thy way of lying?
A26695Man, is this thy case?
A26695May a man be civilized and not converted; where then shall the Drunkard, and Glutton appear?
A26695May a man be true and just in his dealing, and yet not be justified of God?
A26695May a man keep company with the wise Virgins, and yet be shut out?
A26695May not I, much more reason so with thee?
A26695Methinks I should hear thee crying out astonished, with the Bethshemites, Who shall stand before this holy Lord God?
A26695Must I leave the malicious still in his venom?
A26695Must I leave the tipler still at the Ale- bench?
A26695Must I leave the wanton still at his dalliance?
A26695Must I leave you at last where you were?
A26695Must they perish at last by hundreds, when Ministers would so fain save them?
A26695No, if I tarry here, I shall die; What then?
A26695None except I turn, Why, but is there any remedy for such woful misery?
A26695Now Beloved, what say you to this?
A26695Now all the cry is, What shall I do to be saved?
A26695Now if Christ, yet, bring any to Heaven unconverted, either he must get them in without his Fathers knowledge, and then where is his Omnisciency?
A26695Now says the soul, Lord, whither should I go?
A26695Now what cleanly nature could indure to have the filthy Swine Bed and Board with him in his Parlour, or Bed- chamber?
A26695Now what dost thou say to this?
A26695Now would it stand with wisdom, to force pardon and life, upon them that would give him no thanks for them?
A26695O Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean?
A26695O Sons of ingratitude, against whom do you sport your selves?
A26695O if the fears and forethoughts of the wrath to come be so terrible, so intolerable, what is the feeling of it?
A26695O man, art thou able to make thy party good with thy Maker?
A26695O man, hast thou a charge of souls to answer for, and dost thou not yet be ● tir thy self for them, that their blood be not found in thy skirts?
A26695O man, how canst thou make so light of sin?
A26695O man, what wilt thou do?
A26695O miserable Caitiff, what stupidity and senselesness hath surprized thee?
A26695O repent and be converted?
A26695O shew your selves men, and let reason prevail with you; Is it a reasonable thing for you to contend against the Lord your Maker?
A26695O sinner, tell me, what shift dost thou make to think of all the threatnings of Gods word, that stand upon record against thee?
A26695O sinner, why should the Devils make merry with thee?
A26695O sinner, wilt thou burn with thy pardon by thee?
A26695O sinners do ye make light of the wrath to come?
A26695O what is thy heart made of?
A26695O what work hath sin made with thee?
A26695O wilt thou turn a deaf ear to his voice?
A26695O ye Saints, how should you love the word?

A267013, 7. shall we think God will?
A267013. and yet do you wonder, why your Ministers do so painfully travel in birth with you?
A267014. and a lover of this World above him?
A267014. as though the strength of Israel would lie?
A267014. or for the potsherd of the earth to strive with his maker?

A26701Against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted your eyes on high?
A26701Alas, if the poor man think a Sermon long, and say of a Sabbath, What a weariness is it?
A26701Alas, what shall I say?
A26701Alas, what will thy sins do for thee, that thou shouldst stick at parting with them?
A26701And art not thou fairly offered?
A26701And canst thou get in without his leave, as thou must, if ever thou comest thither in thy natural condition, without a sound and through renovation?
A26701And doth not thy soul tremble as thou readest?
A26701And have I toyled all this while and caught nothing?
A26701And have they sped so well, and wilt thou not go to the same door, and wait upon God in the same course?
A26701And how shall I tell men, that which I do not know?
A26701And if Conversion and holiness be a needless thing, what use they themselves are of?
A26701And is it true indeed?
A26701And is it true indeed?
A26701And is this an unreasonable request?
A26701And is this, that we have described, the Conversion that is of absolute necessity to salvation?
A26701And shall not the most Holy God more difference between the righteous and the wicked?
A26701And shall that do it?
A26701And shew kindness to them that are kind to them?
A26701And should we not desire the same for you?
A26701And spend all your days in pampering your guts, and providing for your flesh that must lie rotting very shortly in a Grave?

A26701And what is it that the creation groaneth for?
A26701And what were these Pharisees?
A26701And whether Christ save that soul that is not converted by him and saved from his sins?
A26701And whether God will like men the better for lying and calling themselves Christians when they are none indeed?
A26701And whether all or most men perform this vow?
A26701And whether if you live after the flesh you shall not die, and be condemned?
A26701And whether it be but the conceit of Hypocrites and Schismaticks, that their Carcases must be rotting in a dark- some Grave?
A26701And whether seeking to abuse God by a Mock Religion, do make such false Christians better than the poor Heathens and Infidels, or much worse?
A26701And whether the carnal mind is not enmity to God, and to be carnally minded is not death, and to be spiritually minded, life and peace?
A26701And whither else shouldst thou go?
A26701And why may not men be twice born in nature, as well as in grace?
A26701And will God receive these for true converts, because turned to the Christian Religion?
A26701And wilt thou run upon destruction, when God himself doth forwarn thee?
A26701And wilt thou yet be in love with thy self, and tell us any longer of thy good heart?
A26701And wilt thou yet believe thine own presumptuous confidence, directly against Christs word?
A26701And yet wilt thou not give up such a blasphemous hope?

A26701Art thou a Convert, or art thou yet in thy Sins?
A26701Art thou a man, and hast thou reason?
A26701Art thou a reasonable foul, and yet so far brutified, as to forget thy self immortal, and to think thy self to be as the beasts that perish?
A26701Art thou chief of all the children of pride, even that thou shouldst count his darts as stubble, and laugh at the shaking of his spear?
A26701Art thou deliberately, understandingly, freely, fixedly, determined to cleave to him in all times, and conditions?
A26701Art thou in league with Hell?
A26701Art thou in love with thy misery?
A26701Art thou like the horse, that paweth in the valley, and rejoyceth in his strength: he goeth out to meet the armed men?
A26701Art thou made without fear, and contemnest his barbed irons?
A26701Art thou now become a slave to sense, a servant to so base an Idol, as thy belly?
A26701Art thou such a Leviathan, as that the scales of thy pride should keep thee from thy makers coming at thee?
A26701Art thou turned into flesh, that thou favourest nothing but gratifying the sense, and making provision for the flesh?
A26701Art thou willing to come in?
A26701Art thou yet in ignorance, and not turned from darkness to light?
A26701Ask them whether God should not be loved with all our heart, and soul, and might?
A26701Ask them whether Kings and all men make not a great difference between man and man; the loyal and perfidious, the obedient and the disobedient?

A26701Ask them whether they say not themselves that Hypocrisie is a great aggravation of all other sin?
A26701Ask them whether they will live on Earth for ever, and their merry hours, and Lordly looks will have no end?
A26701Ask them why it was that Christ came into the World?
A26701Augustine could not relish his before so much admired Cicero, because he could not find the name of Christ, How pathetically cries he?
A26701Awake, O conscience: What meanest thou, O sleeper?

A26701Behold Gods workmanship in thy body, and ask thy self, to what end did God rear this fabrick?
A26701Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him?
A26701Believest thou this?
A26701But doth not thy heart condemn thee, and tell thee, there is such a sin thou livest in against thy Conscience?
A26701But here the terms are most honourable and easie: O sinner, wilt thou burn with thy pardon by?
A26701But how close doth this sin lurk oft- times under a fair covert of forward profession?
A26701But how shall this be effected?
A26701But if poor soul, thou art fully convinced, and askest, What should I do to be Converted?
A26701But if these be short of Conversion, what shall I say of the prophane sinner?
A26701But if they are deaed in every point save carnal interests, ask them why they are Preachers or Priests?
A26701But if you will not think of these things; if you will not use the reason of men, alas what can we do to save your souls?
A26701But thy Conversion is necessary, thy damnation lies upon it, and is it not needful in so important a case to look about?
A26701But to what purpose is it then like to be, for the Servant of God to treat with thee about this matter?
A26701But what is it that the creation groaneth under?
A26701But whence shall I fetch my arguments, or how shall I choose my words?
A26701But would you not have me solicitous for you?

A26701Dost thou not yet begin to smite on thy breast, and bethink thy self what need thou hast of a change?
A26701Dost thou not yet see a change to be needful?

A26701Doth he allow himself in any way of sin, or doth he not?
A26701Doth he not keep the keys of Heaven?

A26682Alas, what shall I say?
A26682Alas, what will thy sins do for thee, that thou shouldst stick at parting with them?
A26682And art not thou fairly offered?
A26682And canst thou get in without his leave, as thou must, if ever thou comest thither in thy natural condition, without a sound and through renovation?
A26682And doth not thy soul tremble as thou readest?
A26682And have I toyled all this while, and caught nothing?
A26682And have they sped so well, and wilt not thou go to the same door, and wait upon God in the same course?
A26682And have we not flesh as well as others?
A26682And how can that soul have true comfort that is under so many diseases?
A26682And how shall I tell men, that which I do not know?
A26682And if Conversion and Holiness be a needless thing, what use they themselves are of?
A26682And is it true indeed?
A26682And is it true indeed?
A26682And is this an unreasonable request?
A26682And is this, that we have described, the Conversion that is of absolute necessity of salvation?
A26682And shall not the most Holy God more difference between the righteous and the wicked?
A26682And shall that do it?
A26682And shew kindness to those that are kind to them?
A26682And should we not desire the same for you?
A26682And the drunkard still at his vomit?
A26682And there came one, and kneeled to him, and asked him; Good Master, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?
A26682And were it not better thou shouldst be a joy to Angels, than a laughing- stock and sport for devils?
A26682And what is it that the creation groaneth for?
A26682And what were these Pharisees?
A26682And whether Christ save that soul that is not converted by him and saved from his sins?
A26682And whether God will like men the better for lying and calling themselves Christians when they are none indeed?
A26682And whether a perjured Covenant- breaker against God, is fitter for salvation, than one that never was baptized?
A26682And whether all or most men perform this vow?
A26682And whether any man be Christs that hath not his spirit?
A26682And whether he be not an Hypocrite that professeth to be a Christian, and a servant of God, when he is none, nor will be?
A26682And whether he that knoweth his masters will and doth it not, shall not have the sorest stripes, or punishment?
A26682And whether if you live after the flesh you shall not die, and be condemned?
A26682And whether it be but the conceit of Hypocrites and Schismaticks, that their Carcases must lie rotting in a darksome grave?
A26682And whether seeking to abuse God by a mock- religion do make such false Christians better than the poor Heathens and Infidels, or much worse?
A26682And whether the carnal mind is not enmity to God, and to be carnally minded is not death, and to be spiritually minded, life and peace?
A26682And whither else shouldst thou go?
A26682And why may not men be twice born in nature, as well as in grace?
A26682And will God receive these for true converts, because turned to the Christian religion?
A26682And will you not, I say will you not be saved?
A26682And wilt thou not yet believe, O sinner, that he is in earnest?
A26682And wilt thou run upon destruction, when God himself doth forewarn thee?
A26682And wilt thou yet be in love with thy self, and tell us any longer of thy good heart?
A26682And wilt thou yet believe thine own presumptuous confidence, directly against Christs word?
A26682And yet wilt thou not give up such a blasphemous hope?
A26682Are not these out of the reach of humane power?
A26682Are there not many that name the name of the Lord Jesus, that yet depart not from iniquity?
A26682Are you agreed, that Christ shall end the controversie?
A26682Are you at peace?
A26682Arise then, what meanest thou O sleeper?
A26682Art not thou almost struck dead with the hellish damp?
A26682Art not thou one of them?
A26682Art thou a Convert, or art thou not yet in thy sins?
A26682Art thou a man, and hast thou reason?
A26682Art thou a reasonable soul, and yet so far brutified, as to forget thy self immortal, and to think thy self to be as the beasts that perish?
A26682Art thou chief of all the children of pride, even that thou should''st count his darts as stubble, and laugh at the shaking of his spear?
A26682Art thou deliberately, understandingly, freely, fixedly detetermined to cleave to him in all times, and conditions?
A26682Art thou in league with Hell?
A26682Art thou in love with thy misery?
A26682Art thou like the horse, that paweth in the valley, and rejoyceth in his strength: he goeth out to meet the armed men?
A26682Art thou made without fear, and contemnest his barbed irons?
A26682Art thou now become a slave to sense, a servant to so base an idol, as thy belly?
A26682Art thou such a Leviathan, as that the scales of thy pride should keep thee from thy makers coming at thee?
A26682Art thou turned into flesh, that thou savourest nothing but gratifying the sense, and making provision for the flesh?
A26682Art thou willing to come in?
A26682Art thou yet in ignorance, and not turned from darkness to light?
A26682Ask them wether they say not themselves that Hypocrisie is a great aggravation of all other sin?
A26682Ask them whether God should not be loved with all our heart and soul and might?
A26682Ask them whether any man have a treasure in Heaven, whose heart is not there?
A26682Ask them whether man have not an Immortal soul, and a longer life to live when this is ended?
A26682Ask them whether the name of a Christian will save any one of these ungodly persons?
A26682Ask them whether there be a Heaven, and a Hell, or not?
A26682Ask them whether they mean Holy Adulterers, holy worldlings, holy perjured persons?
A26682Ask them whether they will live on Earth for ever, and their merry hours, and Lordly looks will have no end?
A26682Ask them whether without Holiness any shall see God?
A26682Ask them why it was that Christ came into the world?
A26682Awake O conscience: What mean ● st thou, O sleeper?
A26682Before, the news of a Christ was a stale and sapless thing: but now, how sweet is a Christ?
A26682Behold Gods workmanship in thy body, and ask thy self; To what end did God rear this fabrick?
A26682Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him?
A26682Believest thou this?
A26682But doth not thy heart condemn thee?
A26682But here the terms are most honourable and easie: Oh sinner, wilt thou burn with thy pardon by?
A26682But how close doth this sin lurk oft- times, under a fair covert of forward profession?
A26682But how shall this be effected?
A26682But if it be the very word of God, that all this misery lies upon thee, what a case art thou in?
A26682But if poor soul, thou art fully convinced, and askest, What should I do to be converted?
A26682But if these be short of Conversion, what shall I say of the prophane sinner?
A26682But if they are dead in every point save carnal interests, ask them why they are Preachers or Priests?
A26682But if you will not think of these things; if you will not use the reason of men, alas what can we do to save your souls?
A26682But thy Conversion is necessary, thy damnation lies upon it, and is it not needful in so important a case to look about?
A26682But to what purpose is it then like to be, for the servant of God to treat with thee about this matter?
A26682But what is it that the creation groaneth under?
A26682But whence shall I fetch my arguments, or how shall I choose my words?
A26682But would you not have me sollicitous for you, when I see you ready to perish?
A26682By this time methinks I hear my reader crying out with the Disciples, who then shall be saved?
A26682Can Kings, or warriours?
A26682Can Mammon?
A26682Can an unholy soul there see and love and praise and delight in God for ever, and in the Holy Society and employment of the Saints?
A26682Can any man be in jest with you who believeth God?
A26682Can any other but Christ save thee?
A26682Can the liveless carcase shake off his grave- cloths, and loose the bonds of death?
A26682Can the world in good earnest do that for you, that Christ can?
A26682Can thine heart indure, or can thine hands be strong, in the day that I shall deal with thee, saith the Lord of hosts?
A26682Can you evidence that you have something more than any Hypocrite in the world ever had?
A26682Can you shew the distinguishing marks of a sound believer?
A26682Canst thou abide the consuming fire?
A26682Canst thou be content to burn?
A26682Canst thou charm thy beast with musick?
A26682Canst thou do well without his favour?
A26682Canst thou dwell with everlasting burnings?
A26682Canst thou escape his hands, or endure his vengeance?
A26682Canst thou hope he will be forsworn for thee?
A26682Canst thou think of that threat without trembling, Ye shall die in your sins?
A26682Canst thou think without loathing of thy trow and draugh?
A26682Cast away from you all your transgressions ● and make you a clean heart, and a new spirit, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
A26682Conscience, wilt thou altogether hold thy peace at such a time as this?
A26682Consider how the Lord hath revealed himself to you in his word: will you take him as such a God?
A26682Consider the noble faculties of thy Heaven- born soul: to what end did God bestow these excellencies?
A26682Couldst thou cherish it and take delight in it?
A26682Couldst thou take up a toad into thy bosom?
A26682Darest thou make light of this?
A26682Dearly beloved, would you rejoice the heart of your Ministers?
A26682Did not he make thee for himself?
A26682Do I speak to the trees or rocks, or to men?
A26682Do not even the Publicans love those that love them?
A26682Do not thine own cloths abhor thee?
A26682Do not thy tears bedew the paper, and thy heart throb in thy bosom?
A26682Do not you see how Satan gulls you, by tempting you to delays?
A26682Do we not know the way of Ease and Honour, of Wealth and Pleasures as well as others?
A26682Do you say, The condition is impossible, for I have not wherewith to buy?
A26682Dost not thou find him a stranger to prayer, a neglecter of the word, a lover of this present world?
A26682Dost not thou find his heart fermented with malice, or burning with lust, or going after his covetousness?
A26682Dost not thou often catch him in a lie?
A26682Dost thou believe their truth, or not?
A26682Dost thou hear the creation groaning under thee, and Hell groaning for thee, and yet think thy case good enough?
A26682Dost thou know thine own face when thou seest it?
A26682Dost thou laugh at Hell and destruction, or canst drink the envenomed cup of the Almighties fury, as if it were but a common potion?
A26682Dost thou live in strife, or envy, or malice?
A26682Dost thou live in the ordinary and wilful practice of any known sin?
A26682Dost thou m ● ● k at fear and art not affrighted, neither turnest back from Gods sword?
A26682Dost thou not take more real delight and content in the world, than in him?
A26682Dost thou not yet begin to smite on thy breast, and bethink thy self, what need thou hast of a change?
A26682Dost thou not yet see a change to be needful?
A26682Dost thou say, yea but my mind is blinded and my heart hardened from his fear?
A26682Dost thou say,''T is good to be here?
A26682Dost thou yet think it but a small thing?
A26682Doth Satan put in, doth the world court thee, doth sin sue for thy heart?
A26682Doth he allow himself in any way of sin, or doth he not?
A26682Doth he set thee on the use of means, and dost thou think he will mock thee?
A26682Doth he truly love, and please, and prize and delight in God above all other things, or not?
A26682Doth it not begin to bite?
A26682Doth it not carry thee to thy family, and shew thee the charge of God, and the souls of thy children and servants, that be neglected there?
A26682Doth it not tell thee, there is such and such a secret way of wickedness, that thou makest no bones of?
A26682Doth it not twitch thee, as thou goest?
A26682Doth not conscience carry thee to thy closet, and tell thee how seldom prayer, and reading is performed there?
A26682Doth not conscience lead thee to thy shop, thy trade, and tell thee of some mystery of iniquity there?
A26682Doth not he keep the keys of Heaven?
A26682Doth not the Holy State of Heaven require Holiness in all that shall possess it?
A26682Doth not this nearly concern thee?
A26682Doth this suit thee best, and please thee most?
A26682Doth thy mouth water after the Onions and Flesh- pots of Egypt?
A26682Enter into thy closet, and consider, What evil have I lived in?
A26682Filth and rottenness, with glory and immortality?
A26682For the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?
A26682Go into the gardens of pleasure, and gather all the fragrant flowers from thence: would these content thee?
A26682God himself will not save you without you; and how should we?
A26682Hast not thou taken upon him the gains of unrighteousness?
A26682Hast thou experienced this?
A26682Hast thou not felt some good motions in thy mind, wherein thou hast been warned of thy danger, and told what thy careless course would end in?
A26682Hast thou not felt thy heart warmed by the word, and been almost perswaded to leave off thy sins, and come in to God?
A26682Hast thou not only lost all regard to God, but art without any love and pity to thy self?
A26682Hast thou pondered these things in thine heart?
A26682Hast thou searched the book within, to see if these things be so?
A26682Hast thou taken God for thy happiness?
A26682Hath the man been ever taken off from his false bottom, from the false hopes, and false peace wherein once he trusted?
A26682Hath there passed a through and mighty change upon him, or not?
A26682Have I been all this while speaking in the wind?
A26682Have I been charming the deaf adder, or allaying the tumbling Ocean with arguments?
A26682Have I run in vain?
A26682Have I used so many arguments, and spent so much time to perswade you, and yet must sit down at last in disappointment?
A26682Have not you heard the same truths from the Pulpit, by publick labours, and by private letters, by personal instructions?
A26682Have you read hitherto, and are not yet resolved upon a present abandoning all your sins, and closing with Jesus Christ?
A26682He is presently tired: the Sabbath what a weariness is it?
A26682He is willing of the dominion of Christ, as well as deliverance by Christ, he saith with Paul, Lord what wilt thou have me to do?
A26682He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?
A26682He that despised Moses law, died without mercy: Of how much sorer punishment shall he be thought worthy, that hath trampled under foot the son of God?
A26682He will not be thought a fautour of sin, nor stain the glory of his holiness: and whither could he come, lower than he hath, unless he should do this?
A26682Hear O ye Drunkards, how long will ye be drunken?
A26682Hear what the Lord saith; Fear ye not me saith the Lord?
A26682Hear ● st thou the curses, and the blasphemies, the weepings and the wailings, how they lament their folly, and curse their day?
A26682Here I will pitch; here I will live and die?
A26682Heu miser, quid sum?
A26682His heart once said, as they to the spouse, What is thy beloved, more than another?
A26682His poor beast would say, Lord, must I carry him upon his wicked designs?
A26682How affectionately doth Peter lift up his hands?
A26682How black are those fiends?
A26682How blameless was Paul?
A26682How can you make a shift to forget such grace, or to pass it over with a slight and seldom mention?
A26682How dear is this name to him?
A26682How deep are their groans?
A26682How do they roar, and y ● ll, and gnash their teeth?
A26682How dost thou find it?
A26682How doth Micah run crying after the Danites, You have taken away my gods, and what have I more?
A26682How doth he bemoan the obstinate refusers?
A26682How doth he expatiate in their praises, both from their inherent qualities, and admirable effects?
A26682How effectually hath the god of this world blinded them?
A26682How feelingly doth Paul magnifie the free mercy of God in it?
A26682How few will be the sheep that shall be left, when all these shall be separated, and set among the Goats?
A26682How furious are their tormenters?
A26682How hot is that burning oven of the Almighty''s fury?
A26682How is David taken up with the excellencies of Gods Laws?
A26682How is every one of Gods commandments ready to arrest thee, and take thee by the throat, for innumerable bonds that it hath upon thee?
A26682How long hath he toll''d you on in the way to perdition?
A26682How long have I travelled in birth with you?
A26682How long shall this soul lie at uncertainties?
A26682How long will you linger in Sodom?
A26682How long will you rest in idle wishes, and fruitless purposes?
A26682How long wilt thou slumber, and fold thy hands to sleep?
A26682How many are there to whom this is directed, who will not know, that they are the men?
A26682How many professours be there, with whom the world hath more of their hearts and affections than Christ?
A26682How many years have you been purposing to amend?
A26682How much art thou in the books of every one of Gods laws?
A26682How obdurate their hearts?
A26682How oft would we have gathered them, but they would not, but are ungathered still?
A26682How pathetically cries he?
A26682How pitiful and piercing a moan is that of Saul, in his extremity; The Philistines are upon me, and God is departed from me?
A26682How powerfully hath sin bewitched them?
A26682How precious is its favour?
A26682How punctual was Iehu?
A26682How strong is their delusion?
A26682How then wilt thou endure, when God shall pour out all his vials, and set himself against thee to torment thee?
A26682How uncircumcised their ears?
A26682How warily doth he walk, left he should tread on a snare?
A26682How weak is his heart?
A26682I am a Sun and shield, all in one: will you have me for your All?
A26682I deal much upon trust, will you be content to labour, and suffer, and to tarry for your returns, till the resurrection of the just?
A26682I pray ask these men, whether it be a Puritane or Phanatick opinion that men must dye?
A26682I would reason with you, as God with them; How canst thou say I am not polluted?
A26682IT may be you are ready to say, what meaneth this stir?
A26682If God and you be for us, who shall be against us?
A26682If God be against thee, who shall be for thee?
A26682If God had demanded some terrible, some severe and rigorous thing of you, to escape eternal damnation, would you not have done it?
A26682If he fall, what a stir is there to get all clean again?
A26682If not, had you not need look after somewhat that will?
A26682If not, why are they pretended Christians?
A26682If one man sin against another, the Iudge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him?
A26682If one were sent to thee from the dead, wouldst thou be perswaded?
A26682If this doctrine be true, we will not say any more with the disciples, Who then shall be saved?
A26682If thou sayest, The terms upon which Life is offered, are hard; consider, is it not harder to dye?
A26682If thou wilt part with thy sins, God will give thee his Christ: is not this a fair exchange?
A26682In a word, wilt thou now close with these proffers?
A26682Is he not liker a Mahometan than a Christian, that looketh for a sensual and unholy Heaven?
A26682Is holiness thy trade, and religion thy business?
A26682Is it a Scripture peace?
A26682Is it a disputable case, whether the Abana and Pharphar of Damascus, be better than all the streams of Eden?
A26682Is it a jesting matter to live in such a fearful case?
A26682Is it for one that hath his senses to live in such a condition, and not to make all possible expedition for preventing his utter ruine?
A26682Is it good for thee to be here?
A26682Is it good for thee to be here?
A26682Is it good for thee to try whether God will be so good as his word?
A26682Is it not a dreadful case, to have the Gospel it self fill its mouth with threats, and thunder, and damnation?
A26682Is it not for the divine pleasure thou art and wert created?
A26682Is it not good comfort, that he calleth thee?
A26682Is it not past controversy, whether God be better than sin, and glory better than vanity?
A26682Is it not pity but he should be damned, that will needs go on and perish, when all this may be had for the taking?
A26682Is it not pity such a goodly fabrick should be raised in vain?
A26682Is it not pity thou shouldst be good for nothing, an unprofitable burden of the earth, a wart, or wen in the body of the universe?
A26682Is it so great a misery to lose our common labours, to sow in vain, and build in vain?
A26682Is it that you wear Christs livery?
A26682Is not Grace worth the waiting for?
A26682Is not all this that you may be converted and saved?
A26682Is not here a fair offer?
A26682Is not here plain ground for thee: and wilt thou yet run upon the rocks?
A26682Is not that mans case dreadful, whose Sacrifices are as murder, and whose prayers are a breath of abomination?
A26682Is not the Church a holy Society of Regenerate souls?
A26682Is not the word before thee?
A26682Is not thy heart broken yet?
A26682Is the drift and scope of thy life altered?
A26682Is the man converted, or is he not?
A26682Is there ever a soul here, a rational understanding soul?
A26682Is this man a new man, or is he not?
A26682Is this thy judgment, and this thy choice, and this thy way, that we have described?
A26682Is thy bread necessary?
A26682Is thy breath necessary?
A26682It was the passage of the Eunuch to Philip: See, here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptised?
A26682Judge in your own selves: is it a reasonable undertaking, for briars and thorns, to set themselves in battel against the devouring fire?
A26682Know you not, that the 〈 ◊ 〉 us shall not inerit the Kingdom of God?
A26682Leave not striving with God, and thine own soul, till it cry out under the sense of thy sins, as the inlightened Jaylour, What must I do to be saved?
A26682Let me say to thee as Paul to Agrippa, Believest thou the Prophets?
A26682Let me say to you, as Naaman''s servants to him; My father, if the Prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done it?
A26682Let your consciences speak; What is it, that you have to plead for your selves?
A26682Look backward, where was ever the place, what was ever the time, in which thou didst not sin?
A26682Look in now, and tell me: dost thou yet believe?
A26682Look inward, what part or power canst thou find in soul or body, but it is poisoned with sin?
A26682Lord, how universally am I corrupted, in all my parts, powers, performances?
A26682Lord, wherewith shall I wooe them?
A26682Man, doth not thine heart tremble to think of thy being an object of Gods hatred?
A26682Man, is not thy conscience privy to thy tricks of deceit, to thy chamber pranks, to thy way of lying?
A26682Man, is this thy case?
A26682May a man be civilized and not converted, where then shall the Drunkard, and Glutton appear?
A26682May a man be true and just in his dealings, and yet not be justified of God?
A26682May a man keep company with the wise Virgins, and yet be shut out?
A26682May not I much more reason so with thee?
A26682May not we bring you to some sober thoughts of your condition, nor one hour seriously to think whither you are going?
A26682Methinks I should hear thee crying out astonished, with the Bethshemites, Who shall stand before this holy Lord God?
A26682Must I leave the malicious still in his venome?
A26682Must I leave the tipler still at the ale- bench?
A26682Must I leave the wanton still at his dalliance?
A26682Must I leave you at last where you were?
A26682Must they perish at last by the hundreds, when Ministers would so fain save them?
A26682No one driveth or forceth them to Hell: and will they go thither of themselves?
A26682No way to acquaint them what is become of their brother, and where Lazarus is, and whither they themselves are going?
A26682Nor one heart- raising thought of the everlasting Glory?
A26682Not one heart- piercing thought of all your Saviours love, nor one tear for all your sinful lives?
A26682Now all the cry is, What shall I do to be saved?
A26682Now beloved, what say you to this?
A26682Now if Christ, yet, bring any to Heaven unconverted, either he must get them in without his fathers knowledge, and then where is his Omnisciency?
A26682Now saies the soul, Lord, whither should I go?
A26682Now what cleanly nature could endure, to have the filthy swine bed and board with him in his parlour, or bed chamber?
A26682Now what dost thou say to this?
A26682Now, would it stand with wisdom, to force pardon and life, upon them that would give him no thanks for them?
A26682O Jerusale ●, wilt thou not be made clean?
A26682O fools, and slow of heart to believe, will ye court the harlot, will you seek and serve the world, and neglect the eternal glory?
A26682O man what wilt thou do?
A26682O man, art thou able to make thy party good against thy maker?
A26682O man, how canst thou make so light of sin?
A26682O sinner, tell me, what shift dost thou make to think of all the threatnings of Gods word, that stand upon record against thee?
A26682O sinner, why should the devils make merry with thee?
A26682O what a happy man might you make me, if you would but hearken to me, and suffer me to carry you over to Jesus Christ?
A26682O ye Saints, how should you love the word?
A26682O ye sinners, how should you ply the word?
A26682Oh how dreadfully doth it thunder?
A26682Oh how great is the sum of thy debts, who hast been all thy life long running upon the books, and never didst, nor canst pay off one penny?
A26682Oh how many then will be found the real servants of the Devil ● that take themselves for no other than the children of God?
A26682Oh set thine heart to think of thy case: Is not thine everlasting misery or welfare, that which doth deserve a little consideration?
A26682Oh sinners, do you make light of the wrath to come?
A26682Oh sons of ingratitude, against whom do you sport your selves?
A26682Oh what wilt thou do when the Lord cometh forth against thee, and in his fury falleth upon thee, and thou shalt feel what thou readest?
A26682Oh whither wilt thou go, where wilt thou shelter thee?
A26682Oh why dost thou not bethink thee, where thou shalt be for ever?
A26682Oh, whither shall I fly?
A26682Or art thou only a walking ghost, a senseless Iump?
A26682Or canst thou not yet prove it?
A26682Or dost thou not find him to this day under the power of ignorance, or in the mire of prophaneness?
A26682Or else having reason to understand the eternity of thy future state, dost thou yet make light of being everlastingly miserable?
A26682Or if thou canst not tell time and place, canst thou shew scripture evidence, that the work is done?
A26682Or shall I call up all the daughters of musick, and sing the song of Moses, and of the Lamb?
A26682Or the brightness of the glory of his holiness be blemished for thee?
A26682Or whether it be the dead Image only of a Crucified Iesus, that is all their Saviour, while they will have no more of him?
A26682Or who shall descend into the deep to bring up Christ from beneath?
A26682Perverse sinner, wilt thou begin where thou shouldest end?
A26682READER, HOw well were it if there were no more unconverted ones among us, than those to whom this is directed?
A26682Reader, dost thou view this and never ask thy self, whether it be thus with thee?
A26682Reader, doth nothing of this touch thee?
A26682Reader, hath conscience been at work, while thou hast been looking over these lines?
A26682Reader, is this the language of thy soul?
A26682Reader, shall I prevail with thee for one?
A26682Saith Bildad, Shall, the earth be forsaken for thee?
A26682Satan hath them at his beck: but how long may I call, and can get no answer?
A26682Say not like Iudas, What need this waste?
A26682Seest thou how the smoak of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever?
A26682Seest thou how the worm gnaweth, how the oven gloweth, how the fire ● ageth?
A26682Shall Christ put out the eye of his Fathers omnisciency, or shorten the arm of his eternal power for thee?
A26682Shall Hell be your own choice?
A26682Shall I allure him with the joyful sound, and the lovely song and glad tidings of the Gospel?
A26682Shall I go and lay my mouth to the grave, and look when the dead will obey me and come forth?
A26682Shall I go on in my sinful ways?
A26682Shall I invite the dead to arise and eat the banquet of their funerals?
A26682Shall I leave you at last no farther than Agrippa, but almost perswaded?
A26682Shall I linger any longer in this wretched estate?
A26682Shall I set before him the feast of fat things, the wine of wisdom, the bread of God, the tree of life, the hidden Manna?
A26682Shall divine justice be violated for thee?
A26682Shall it be still neglect, and unthankful contempt, and turning away your ear and heart, and saying, we have somewhat else to mind?
A26682Shall the Laws of Heaven be reversed for thee?
A26682Shall the everlasting foundations be overturned for thee?
A26682Shouldst thou ask them thus that have felt what''t is to be damned, what answer dost thou think they would make?
A26682Sinner, what sayst thou to this?
A26682Sinner, wilt thou not yet give up thy vain hope of being saved in this condition?
A26682Sinners, what will you do in the day of your visitation?
A26682So I may say to thee: See, here is Christ, here is mercy, pardon, life, what hinders but that thou shouldst be pardoned, and saved?
A26682Solomon''s mad man, that casteth firebrands, and arrows, and death, and faith, am I not in jest?
A26682Speak man, art thou willing of the match?
A26682Speak plainly to all the forementioned particulars: canst thou acquit this man, this woman, from being any of the two and twenty sorts here described?
A26682Such or such a duty, that thou makest no conscience of?
A26682Surely thou maist go as far as these, though thou hast no Grace: and how dost thou know but thou maist speed in thy suit, as they did in theirs?
A26682Tell me wither art thou going?
A26682That you are of the visible Church?
A26682That you bear his name?
A26682The Lord hath spoken it, and who shall reverse it?
A26682The Thunder of his power who can understand?
A26682The view of his sins, the sight of a Christ crucified, that would scarce stir him before, now how much do they affect his heart?
A26682The womb of my promise will not presently bring forth; will you have the patience to wait?
A26682They are infinitely above our thoughts, higher than Heaven, what can we do?

A26682Thou maist pray, but what hope is there in thy praying?
A26682Thou maist read, but what hope is there in thy reading?
A26682Thou pretendest for Christ; but doth not the world sway thee?
A26682Thou, even thou art to be feared; and who shall stand in thy sight, when once thou art angry?
A26682Thy father shall be my father, and thy God my God?
A26682Thy food would say, Lord, must I nourish such a wretch as this, and yield forth my strength for him, to dishonour thee withal?
A26682To have the Lord to roar from mount Sion against thee?
A26682To no other, than that than shouldst please thy self, and gratifie thy senses?
A26682Touch his Scepter, and live: why will you die?

A26682[ O man, dost thou read this, and never turn in upon thy soul, by self- examination?]
A26682against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue?
A26682and how little hope is there that this excellent Treatise should reach its end, with those who apprehend not themselves concern''d in it?
A26682and is there no way to stop them or keep them back?]

A26682it pressed the very blood( to a wonder) out of his veins, and broke all his bones: and if it did this in the green tree, what will it do in the dry?
A26682no hope?
A26682not to one awakened look into the world where you must be for ever?
A26682one after another by the scores in cold blood?
A26682or a son that causeth shame, as it were a grief to thy father, and a bitterness to her that bare thee?
A26682or against his will, and then where were his Omnipotency?
A26682or covetousness, but an unsatiable and unsufferable thirst?
A26682or dally with devouring wrath, as if you were at a point of indifferency, whether you did escape it, or endure it?
A26682or declaim to the mountains, and think to move them with arguments?
A26682or he must change his will, and then where were his immutability?
A26682or malice and envy, but venom in the very heart?
A26682or the rocks removed out of their place?
A26682or to have Abrahams bosome, to be a nest of Vipers?
A26682or to lodge the swine with his children?
A26682or whether the vile puddle of sin, be to be preferred before the water of life, clear as Crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb?
A26682or wilt thou bring him to thy Organ, and expect that he should make thee melody, or keep time with the skilful quire?

A26682what sin have I lived in against my brother?
A26682when he shall gripe thee in his iron arms, and grind and crush thee to a thousand pieces in his wrath?
A26682when his quiver ratleth against thee, the glittering Spear and the shield?
A26682when shall it once be?
A26682when the world shall take its eternal leave of you, when you must bid your friends, houses, lands, Farewel for evermore?

A26682where will you leave your glory?
A26682whereby shall I win them?
A26682whither will you flee for help?
A26682whither wilt thou fly?
A26682whither wouldst thou drop?
A26682who by faith foreseeth whither you are going, and what you lose, and where the game of sin will end?
A26682who mind earthly things, and thereby are evidently after the flesh, and like to end in destruction?
A26682who will say unto him, What dost thou?
A26682will it stand by you to eternity?
A26682will pleasures, titles, lands, treasures, descend with you?
A26682will you play at the hole of the Asp?
A26682will you put your hand upon the Cockatrice den?
A26682wilt thou go on in such a dreadful condition, as if nothing ailed thee?
A26682with the most sweet and inviting calls, comforts, cordials of the divine promises, so exceeding great and precious?
A26682would I stick at the pains?
A26682would it not have pityed thine heart to have seen him among the tombs, cutting, and wounding of himself?
A26682would not pity have made you think,[ Is there no way to open these Gentlemens eyes?
