A19287 | And canst thou expresse thy loue in greater measure vnto thy God, then to loue him then, when hee seemes to haue forsaken thee? |
A19287 | And hath not our glorious God thus brought light out of darknesse? |
A19287 | And is hee not iustly deceiued in this fancie of regeneration? |
A19287 | And is it any masterie, not to reuenge, when power is not in our hands? |
A19287 | And is not the Lord indebted vnto vs all, to crowne his owne graces, and recompence the faithfull imploiment of his talents? |
A19287 | And may he not doe what he list? |
A19287 | And ought I not then to indeuour the further kindling of such smoaking flax, such holy and gracious desires? |
A19287 | And seeing they will not be reclaimed, and hate to be reformed; may not the prudent keepe silence in such euill times? |
A19287 | As they were increased, so, did not Gods people rebell against him, who in their afflictions sought vnto him deceitfully? |
A19287 | Behold, wee are blessed on the earth: and are not we then truly blessed? |
A19287 | But hearken, I pray you, vnto a further plea of the hypocrite: Haue we not heard thee teaching in our streets? |
A19287 | But how may she be said to haue left her first loue, seeing she hath formerly the testimonie that she endured patiently, and did not faint? |
A19287 | But is it kept any further, then may cleere from touch of mans law? |
A19287 | But to admit a true conuersion: Is the combate now at an end? |
A19287 | Can the best doe more? |
A19287 | Can the change of the outward estate change the inward man from worse to better? |
A19287 | Doe not wee in many things offend all? |
A19287 | Doth not credit now restraine, where conscience can not? |
A19287 | Doth not this faire shew in the flesh deceiue, and prooue deceiued? |
A19287 | For is it not the grace of this calling to rest in it selfe for good successe, without inuocation of Gods assistance, or reference to his blessing? |
A19287 | Hath hee not power of all in his hands? |
A19287 | Haue we not receiued the word with ioy, and done many things accordingly? |
A19287 | If now the wicked eat the labours of their hands, and drinke their wine in bowles, may they not sacrifice to their nets? |
A19287 | Is any constrained from some act of euill by natures impotencie and deformity? |
A19287 | Is any disposed lesse euilly by the benefit of his complexion? |
A19287 | Is he not heereby excluded from the power of conuersion, because he resteth in the shadow thereof? |
A19287 | Is it charitie, then to forgiue the world, when we see no time left for execution of malice? |
A19287 | Is it obedience, to tremble vnder the whip? |
A19287 | Is it patience, to forbeare when wee can neither will nor chuse? |
A19287 | Is not God robbed of his glorie, while we sacrifice to our labour and wit? |
A19287 | Is not heere a change from better to worse? |
A19287 | Is not his lust a law, his example a rule and warrant? |
A19287 | Is not our pursuit heereof a priuilege to exempt from holy duties? |
A19287 | Is not this a marke of holinesse, to be prosperous in the world? |
A19287 | Is not this a sufficient euidence of an effectuall conuersion? |
A19287 | Is not this the iudgement vpon the world, that they which see not, might see; and that they which see might be made blinde? |
A19287 | Is promise kept heere to our hindrance, so we may winde out by the arme of flesh? |
A19287 | Is the substance of our wares any thing lesse then answerable to the shew? |
A19287 | Is there any place heere for idlenesse, securitie, remisnesse in our calling? |
A19287 | Is there not now a cloake for sinne, and countenance for iniquitie? |
A19287 | May they not cry ayme vnto their soules, Oh well is thee, and happie shalt thou bee? |
A19287 | May they not doe miracles, and yet heare, I know you not? |
A19287 | May they not teach other, and yet themselues be reiected? |
A19287 | Must not the vilest forbeare when they can not otherwise chuse? |
A19287 | Nay, Haue we not taught in thy name? |
A19287 | Nay, who will not say, blacke is white, if it may please him? |
A19287 | Shall not the brand be pluckt out of the fire, and the prey out of the teeth? |
A19287 | Shall not the candle of the hypocrite be put out? |
A19287 | Shall not the dead men liue? |
A19287 | Shall 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? |
A19287 | What defense is fathered hence for neglect of spirituall duties? |
A19287 | What if a little eie- seruice be vsed in the outside of their wares? |
A19287 | What is it, if not godlinesse, that is so plentifully recompenced in this life? |
A19287 | What opportunity offered, to colour oppression and deceit? |
A19287 | What pretence for licentiousnesse, and excesse in the abuse of the creatures? |
A19287 | What should I tell you of that change that is wrought by afflictions? |
A19287 | What wrapping vp of abuses, where there is fellowship in euill? |
A19287 | Who can say, Blacke is his eie? |
A19287 | Who is the good man, but the rich man? |
A19287 | Who will trust, or shall be trusted, if word be not kept? |
A19287 | Will he not perfect his power in weaknesse, and wisdome in humane infirmitie? |
A19287 | Will not the swine that is now cleansed, returne to the mire againe? |
A19287 | Will not the wicked in their troubles seeke the Lord diligently? |
A19287 | Would God blesse our labours, if we did not serue him? |
A19287 | and Is not this great Babel, which I haue built for the honour of my name? |
A19287 | because, who dares say so? |
A19287 | doth not this aduance the sinceritie of thy loue? |
A19287 | nay, is not corruption more inraged inwardly, the more it is outwardly bridled& smothered? |
A19287 | or not rather now begun? |
A19287 | then to follow after him when hee seemes to runne from thee? |
A19287 | to feare God only for his iustice, and not to loue him for his mercie? |
A19287 | yea in an holie dirision, vpbraiding their carnall confidence: Reioyce oh young man, and take thy fill? |
A39678 | 13? |
A39678 | 18, 19. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgressions of the remnant of his heritage? |
A39678 | 3, 5, 7. who had been many years a circumcised Jew? |
A39678 | And can you get too soon( think you) out of this danger and misery? |
A39678 | And darest thou use those noble Powers within thee, worse than thou wouldst use a Dog? |
A39678 | And do they deserve for this, and no worse than this, to be thus trampled under foot and abused? |
A39678 | And is Sin as likely a way to engage his Blessing, as Duty and Obedience is? |
A39678 | And is he not finely honoured, think you, by such drunken Loyalty as this? |
A39678 | And is it really so, Gentlemen, with you? |
A39678 | And is not that the very case here? |
A39678 | And now, my Soul, what hast thou to say for thy self? |
A39678 | And seeing it is so pleasant and delightsome to them, why should they deny and abridge themselves of their Pleasure? |
A39678 | And what can heighten and accent the Sins of a People more than such a cruel hatred of good Men upon the score and account before given? |

A39678 | And who among all the servants of Christ loved or laboured for him more than he? |
A39678 | And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy Brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? |
A39678 | And why can not you( if you please) perform, as well as neglect, the external Acts of Religious Duties? |
A39678 | And yet what are the Torments of a year upon the Rack, to the Torments of Hell for ever and ever? |
A39678 | But, why such haste to be perfectly miserable? |
A39678 | Can we suppose any truth to be in, or any trust to be due to such a man as this? |
A39678 | Can you think he reckons his Health in the least degree advanced or secured by the ruin and subversion of his Subjects Health? |
A39678 | Can your Reason comprobate and allow such an Action as this? |
A39678 | Darest thou joyn with thy Lusts against 〈 ◊ 〉 light, and think not to be brought in as a Party, 〈 ◊ 〉 confederate with the Devil? |
A39678 | Do they for this, and no worse than this, deserve to be censured and condemned for Hypocrites? |
A39678 | Do they lay their faithful and loving Hands of restraint upon thee, when they see thee running headlong into Destruction? |
A39678 | Do you heartily Love and Honour him for thundering you out of Ale- houses and Taverns, unto your Family and Closet- duties? |
A39678 | Do you not see, Gentlemen, the narural tendencies of these things? |
A39678 | Do you think, Gentlemen, that you came into this world to do nothing else but to eat and drink, sport and play, sleep and die? |
A39678 | For how will you answer them, when they shall thus argue and expostulate the matter with you? |
A39678 | H ● that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be damned? |
A39678 | Have you none but God to abuse, when men abuse and injure you? |
A39678 | He that believeth not is condemned already) would you think a Pardon could come too soon? |
A39678 | How did he rather fly, than travel up and down the world, in a flame of Zeal for Christ? |
A39678 | How do they sit with folded arms, as if it were easy to perish? |
A39678 | How do you like such Trading as this, Gentlemen? |
A39678 | How much nearer are you got to Christ now, than you were when in your Cradles? |
A39678 | Is 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? |
A39678 | Is not his Royal Authority his Honour and Safety in his Laws? |
A39678 | Is this House which is called by my Name, become a Den of Robbers in your eyes? |
A39678 | Is this your running and striving to obtain the Palms and Crowns of Immortal Glory? |
A39678 | Know ye not, that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? |
A39678 | Let 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? |
A39678 | Nay, for convincing you plainly, that Religion lies not in external Modes and Rites, in Standing, Kneeling, or Responses? |
A39678 | Nay, would you not strive to the uttermost to flee from this wrath to come? |
A39678 | Need I to spend a word to refute and baffle such a Temptation as this? |
A39678 | Neither Circumcision nor Uncircumcision availeth any thing, but a new Creature? |
A39678 | Now where will you find that Word in the Bible, that warrants the hope of Salvation in an unregenerate person? |
A39678 | Oh, why do you linger any longer? |
A39678 | Or, what if they be insensible Actions, occasioned by the greater Intention of their Spirits in the Service of God? |
A39678 | Qui publicis rebus intersunt& praesunt, nisi viri summi ac nobiles? |
A39678 | Quis in Senatu praeit, in foro praesidet? |

A39678 | Quis jubet, vetat, agit, satagit? |
A39678 | Quis leges fingit& refingit? |
A39678 | Quis versat& volvit omnia? |
A39678 | Say, Reason, wilt thou allow that one of the highest aggravations of Sin, is pleadable in thy Court for the excuse or extenuation of it? |
A39678 | Some 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? |
A39678 | Tell me, Man,( if thou have the Reason of a man in thee) what wrong hath God done thee? |
A39678 | That is to say plainly, Whether Obedience and Disobedience to the Law of God, be all one, and please him alike? |
A39678 | That thou wilt not suffer them to speak o ● ● offer one word, tho never so pertinent, seasonable ● and necessary? |

A39678 | Wherefore hat ● God planted a principle of Reason and Consc ● ● ence within us? |
A39678 | Wherein hath he injured thee, that thou thus wreakest thy revenge upon him? |
A39678 | Whether Whoredom be as likely and promising a way to engage God''s Blessing upon your Trades and Employments, as Continence or conjugal Chastity are? |
A39678 | Whether 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? |
A39678 | Whether the Pleasures of Temperance do not far excel those of Intemperance? |
A39678 | Whether they think that which greatly encreaseth Want and Poverty, be a rational Cur ● ▪ and proper Remedy of it? |
A39678 | Which of these two( think you) is the Hypocrite? |
A39678 | Whose Money is that you so lavishly and prodigally waste out of your consuming Estates? |
A39678 | Why did I not giv ● up the Ghost when I came out of the Belly? |
A39678 | Why died I not from the Womb? |
A39678 | Why should stolen Waters be sweeter than those of our own Fountain? |
A39678 | Why then should you be so easy and flexible when they ask the latter, and so stiff and unperswadable to the former? |
A39678 | Wilt thou give it under thy hand, that the man is the less guilty, because the more wicked? |
A39678 | You can, if you will, forbear to swear and blaspheme the Name of ● od: who can or does compel or force your tongues to it? |
A39678 | Your 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? |
A39678 | would you ever jest with Damnation any more, as with an harmless thing? |
A59669 | 1. we are bid to try the spirits: now, if these spirits were not like Gods true Spirit, what need tryall? |
A59669 | 21. and hence a childe of God askes himselfe after Sermon, after prayer, after Sacrament, what have I gained of Christ? |
A59669 | A man that is to be hanged the next day, may dreame overnight, hee shall be a King; why? |
A59669 | All these things have I done from my youth: what lack I yet? |
A59669 | And at Christs comming, shall he finde faith on the earth? |
A59669 | And is it not good cou ● sell, is it not a good purchase? |
A59669 | Are there any such men? |
A59669 | Art thou redeemed, dost thou hope by Christ to be saved, that didst never see, nor feele, nor sigh under thy bondage? |
A59669 | Be 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? |
A59669 | But ask most men how they came by their faith in Christ? |
A59669 | But how shall this Iudgement be? |
A59669 | But 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? |
A59669 | But if there be a God, why heares hee not his peoples prayers? |
A59669 | But it may be Christ hath not redeemed me, nor shed his bloud for me, therefore why should I goe to him? |
A59669 | But lastly, is it now from a slavish feare of hell, which workes this alteration? |
A59669 | But thou wilt say, how shall I doe to get mine heart affected with my misery? |
A59669 | But thou wilt say, if our praying and hearing bee sinne, why should we doe these duties? |
A59669 | But thou wilt say; to what end should I performe duties, if I can not be saved by them? |
A59669 | But to what end should we use any duties? |
A59669 | But when shall this Iudgement day be? |
A59669 | But will the Lord offer him to such a one as desires not to have Christ? |
A59669 | But will you have him on these termes? |
A59669 | But, who ever saw God, that every one is bold to affirme that there is a God? |
A59669 | Can there be any greater glory for a Ioseph, for a subject, than to be like his Prince? |
A59669 | Can these, doe these lament for the losse of their bare hopes and common mercies? |
A59669 | Can you bestow your paines or lay out your money better? |
A59669 | Canst thou beare& come from under an infinite wrath? |
A59669 | Canst thou make thy selfe a Christ for thy selfe? |
A59669 | Did ever any speake since Christ and his Apostles as men now speake? |
A59669 | Dost thou looke for wages from Christ, that art ashamed to own Christ, or to weare his livery? |
A59669 | Dost thou see hell fire before thee, and yet wilt venture? |
A59669 | Every creature in heaven and earth is a loud preacher of this Truth: who set those candles, those torches of heaven on the Table? |
A59669 | For, take a prophane man, what makes him drink, sweare, cozen, game, whore? |
A59669 | God is thine enemy, and thou hast lost him, will this breake thine heart? |
A59669 | Had ever any age such lightnings as we have? |
A59669 | Hath Christ delivered thee from Hell, and hath he not delivered thee from thine Alehouse? |
A59669 | Hath Christ delivered thee from Sathans societie, when he hath not delivered thee from thy loose company yet? |
A59669 | Hath Christ delivered thee from burning, when thy faggots, thy sins, grow in thee? |
A59669 | He confesseth them to God every morning when he riseth; why is he not more humbled under his sinne then? |
A59669 | Hence they say, the best man sinnes seven times a day, and who can say my heart is cleane? |
A59669 | Hence you shall have those men commend pithlesse, saplesse men for very honest men as ever brake bread; why? |
A59669 | How dost thou know this? |
A59669 | How doth Christ redeeme men out of this misery? |
A59669 | How doth this follow? |
A59669 | How many doe you thinke( saith he) shall be saved in this Citie? |
A59669 | How may one know another to be his enemy? |
A59669 | How was this estate ours? |
A59669 | I am a sinfull, lost, condemned, cursed, dead creature: what shall I doe? |
A59669 | I am well enough already, what tell you me of Christ? |
A59669 | I wonder not to see so many families without family prayer; Why? |
A59669 | Is 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? |
A59669 | Is it a shame to bee like God? |
A59669 | Is it because they would be credited thereby? |
A59669 | Is it from themselves? |
A59669 | Is it out of simplicity, or are their braines growne crazie? |
A59669 | Is there a God, and wilt thou not give him a good looke? |
A59669 | Is there no God to punish? |
A59669 | Is there no Master in the House, because the servants doe all the worke? |
A59669 | Is there no hell hot enough to torment? |
A59669 | Is there no more sweetnesse in the presence of Gods smiling in Christ, than in a filthy Whore? |
A59669 | Is this possible, that a man should aime at Gods glory, and yet perish? |
A59669 | It is a most inexcusable sinne; for what have you to cast against Iesus Christ? |
A59669 | It may be it is true, may be not, yet doe thou venture as those, Ioel 2. who knowes but the Lord may returne? |
A59669 | Let a man have false weights, he is cheated grievously with light gold; why? |
A59669 | Many 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? |
A59669 | May not I sinne in my mirth, in my speaking, in my sleeping? |
A59669 | May not this winne and melt the heart of a Devill? |
A59669 | Melancholy sadnesse may bee borne, but a wounded Spirit who can beare? |
A59669 | Might not this racking of Rents make them question their estates? |
A59669 | No such matter, let a man have a bucket made of gold, doth he thinke to get water, because he hath a bucket? |
A59669 | No surely, all desire to be in peace, and so to live and sleepe in a whole skin: Comes it frō Melancholy? |
A59669 | No time, no Nation exceeds us herein; and shall we that abound in truths be penurious in praises? |
A59669 | No, Thou art dead in sinne, and top- full of all sinne, will this breake thine heart? |
A59669 | No, Whatsoever thou dost, hast done, shalt doe, remaining in this estate, is sinne, will this breake thine heart? |
A59669 | Now if this glasse be taken away, and not set before a deformed heart, how can a man but thinke himselfe faire? |
A59669 | Now tell me, dost thou glory in thy selfe? |
A59669 | Now tell me, hath not the Lord beene a good friend unto thee? |
A59669 | Now tell me, will you have Christ? |
A59669 | Now the soule cryeth out; What shall I doe for Christ that hath done wonders for me? |
A59669 | Oh Lord, in some townes and families what a world of these are there? |
A59669 | Oh poore stubble, canst thou stand before this consuming fire without sin? |
A59669 | Perfect holinesse was ADAMS Image whereby he pleased God, and shall a little holinesse content thee? |
A59669 | Rejoyce? |
A59669 | Set by these foure sorts, how few then are to be saved, even among them that are hatcht in the bosome of the Church? |
A59669 | Some p ● obably may say, it s en ● ugh to prais ● God for his word, other books are not ● ● nti? |
A59669 | Tell mee, wherein hath hee grieved thee? |
A59669 | The tongue is a World of mischiese; what is the heart then? |
A59669 | Thou art guilty of Adams grievous sin; will this breake thine heart? |
A59669 | Thus the Jewes boasted, they were Abrahams seede: so our carnall people boast: Am not I a good Protestant? |
A59669 | Thus, all they have or doe are sins; For, how can hee doe any good action whose person is filthy? |
A59669 | To what purpose doe your multitude of sacrifices? |

A59669 | Was there no Canaan? |
A59669 | What bolts, what strong fetters, what unruly lusts, temptations and miseries art thou lockt into? |
A59669 | What hast thou now to plead against this strange kindnesse of the Lord in offering Christ to thee? |
A59669 | What hast thou to say against it, that thou doest doubt of it? |
A59669 | What is the reason of it? |
A59669 | What is the reason that a child of God hath little peace many times after commission of small sinnes? |
A59669 | What sinne will gripe so in Hell, as this? |
A59669 | What though there bee a God, if it be not thy God, what art thou the better? |
A59669 | What though thy life bee smooth, what though thy outside, thy sepulcher be painted? |
A59669 | What though? |
A59669 | What was the Image of God? |
A59669 | What will become of thine immortall soule when thou art dead? |
A59669 | What will they think of me then( saith he?) |
A59669 | What, must a man despaire? |
A59669 | What, will this breake your hearts? |
A59669 | What? |

A59669 | When 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? |
A59669 | When thou seest the Heavens, say, where is that great Builder that made this? |
A59669 | Where? |
A59669 | Wherein did the glory or blessednesse of man appeare? |
A59669 | Wherein doth a childe of GOD,( and so how may I) goe beyond these Hypocrites that goe so farre? |
A59669 | Why post you from mountaine to hill, why spend you your money, your thoughts, time, endeavours, on things that satisfie not? |
A59669 | Why should the Campe tremble when Scouts are asleepe, or give a false report, when the enemies are neare them? |
A59669 | Why will you dye? |

A59669 | Yes, say they, who can live without sinne? |
A59669 | am I not baptized? |
A59669 | and shall none be saved but such as are so precise as Ministers prate? |
A59669 | and tell me, in what one thing canst thou please the devill, and doe God a displeasure, but by sinne? |
A59669 | are there no plagues to confound him? |
A59669 | are you wiser then others, that you thinke none shall goe to heaven but your self? |
A59669 | as can a man that payes his Rent honestly every yeare, satisfie hereby for the old rent not payed in twenty yeares? |
A59669 | can not a man be saved by his good prayers, nor sorrowes, nor repentings? |
A59669 | canst thou bring in perfect righteousnesse into the presence of God? |
A59669 | canst thou carry all thy sinnes upon thy backe, like Sampson the gates of the Citie, and make a light matter of them? |
A59669 | conditions? |
A59669 | could any frame a man, but one wiser and greater than man? |
A59669 | doe I not live in the Church, and therefore resting here, hope to be saved? |
A59669 | doe you thinke your selfe wiser than others? |
A59669 | have I got more knowledge of Christ, more admiring of the Lord Iesus? |
A59669 | is there a meanes of deliverance? |
A59669 | must not a man trust unto Christ? |
A59669 | of themselves? |
A59669 | shall such an upstart teach me? |
A59669 | there''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? |
A59669 | what doe they that J doe not? |
A59669 | what power of man or Angels can make the least pile of grasse, or put life into the least fly, if once dead? |
A59669 | what should wee pray any more then? |
A59669 | when thou hearest of mutations of Kingdomes, say, where is the Lord of Hosts, the great Captaine of these armies? |
A59669 | when thou tastest sweetnes in the Creature or in Gods ordinances, say, where is sweetnesse it selfe, beauty it selfe? |
A59669 | where is the Sea of these drops, the Sun of these beames? |
A59669 | who can make the stature of a man, but one wiser than the stone out of which it is hewne? |
A59669 | who hung out those lanthornes in heaven to enlighten a darke world? |
A59669 | who 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? |
A59669 | who taught the bi ● ds to build their neasts, and the bees to set up and order their common- wealth? |
A59669 | why doth hee forget them when they have most need of him? |
A59669 | yes, 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? |
A03611 | 2 The second passage is this, Wherein doth this true hatred consist, that a man may know whether he have sinne or no? |
A03611 | Againe, see what the Apostle saith, for this thing you have had godly sorrow, but what hath it wrought in you? |
A03611 | Againe, this question may arise here, doth confession argue true contrition? |
A03611 | And can these strong corruptions of mine be subdued? |
A03611 | And in another place Iob saith, How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow downe my spittle? |
A03611 | And remember this against that day, Who knowes but the Lord may shew mercy? |
A03611 | And shall I thus reward the Lord? |
A03611 | And then the heart begins to cry out as Elisha''s servant did, Master what shall I doe? |
A03611 | And then they pray for him and say, Good Lord, who can beare a wounded soule? |
A03611 | And therefore the soule now cryes, Men and Brethren, What shall I doe to bee freed from these corruptions? |
A03611 | And therefore this is an idle question, what if a man die in this worke of preparation before he come to have faith? |
A03611 | And what follows? |
A03611 | Are these men onely wise? |
A03611 | Are they all sealed up, and shall all the judgements due unto them fall upon me heavier then the mountaines? |
A03611 | Are they pierced men? |
A03611 | But if the world lies in sin, Christ never prayed for the world, and he will never save the world? |
A03611 | But 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? |
A03611 | But now the question in the next place will be this, how doth the soule behave it selfe under this sorrow? |
A03611 | But some will say are not all sinfull by nature, and are not some saved, and why not I as well as others? |
A03611 | But some will say, how shall we maintaine this hope in our hearts, and by what meanes may we feed this hope? |
A03611 | But the soule will say, Can all these abominations be removed? |
A03611 | But you will say, When is a man bound and called to make confession? |
A03611 | But you will say, what doe you meane by this musing and meditating? |
A03611 | Can mercy be shewed to such a wretch as I am? |
A03611 | Can these corruptions be subdued? |
A03611 | Christ came into the world to save sinners, and why may he not save me? |
A03611 | Did Christ and his Apostles raile? |
A03611 | Diddest thou not commit such and such a sinne? |
A03611 | Do we want matter for our preaching? |
A03611 | Doe you know such a man? |
A03611 | Doe you thus requite the Lord O foolish people, and unwise? |
A03611 | Doest thou thinke to beare that which the Lord Jesus Christ could not beare with so much sorrow? |
A03611 | Dost thou deale so with thy sinnes? |
A03611 | Doth God sell his mercy? |
A03611 | Doth thy Conscience checke thee for vaine thoughts, and cursed devices? |
A03611 | First, know this, that there is a time whē God will not shew mercy? |
A03611 | Give mee leave to take a doctrine by the way from the words; they when they heard this, who were these( they?) |
A03611 | Good Lord, said they, Who can be saved? |
A03611 | Good Lord, why was I borne? |
A03611 | Hast 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? |
A03611 | Hath God made heaven a hog- f ● ie for such uncleane wretches as you are? |
A03611 | Hath not he made thee, and established thee? |
A03611 | Have I sold away my birth- right for nothing? |
A03611 | He marvelled at the matter, and yet he did not know what the matter was, and therefore he saith, Who art thou Lord? |
A03611 | He that heales overly, hurts more then he heales, are there not many to be humbled? |
A03611 | How justly may he reject me that have rejected him? |
A03611 | How many notorious vile wretches may say, Good Lord, what will become of our families ▪& villages? |
A03611 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? |
A03611 | I am sure my sinnes are such, and Gods Judgements are such threatned against them, and therefore why may not this be? |
A03611 | I answere, is that all? |
A03611 | I reason the point thus; is it because of your unworthinesse that you dare not goe to Christ? |
A03611 | I say then, cast away thy shamefull hiding and concealing of sinne, and do not say, what will the world, and ministers say of me? |
A03611 | I 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? |
A03611 | If Iudas was damned for betraying of Christ? |
A03611 | If he can not beare the one, how can he beare the other? |
A03611 | If no humbling for sinne, no pardoning for sinne, and no share in Christ, no salvation? |
A03611 | If the adulterer or drunkard did consider that no such person should inherit the kingdome of heaven, durst they goe on? |
A03611 | If 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? |
A03611 | If their sinnes be so grosse that all the Congregation would cry shame, if he did not reproofe them, what will they say? |
A03611 | If 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? |
A03611 | If 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? |
A03611 | If we were drunkards, or whoremongers, then it were somewhat? |
A03611 | In conclusion then, why may not my prophane sinfull heart be humbled and pierced? |
A03611 | In the terrour of conscience( as the Wiseman saith) a wounded spirit who can beare? |
A03611 | Is every man bound, thus freely and openly to confesse his sinnes? |
A03611 | Is it not my sinne? |
A03611 | Is it possible that a man should receive any mercy,& yet be so stubborne and rebellious? |
A03611 | Is not God able to pardon thy sinnes? |
A03611 | Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? |
A03611 | Is not this your complaint many times? |
A03611 | Is that all you can say? |
A03611 | Is there not? |
A03611 | Is this all the price? |
A03611 | Is this all thy pleasure that thou art a hater of God? |
A03611 | It is ordinary with every carnall heart more or lesse, to reason as Eliphaz with Iob; How doth God know? |
A03611 | It is so, that the soule of a man is thus pierced to the quicke, and runne thorow by the wrath of the Almighty? |
A03611 | Lord, how shall I doe? |
A03611 | Men and brethren, What shall we doe to be saved? |
A03611 | No man repenteth him of his wickednesse, saying, What have I done? |
A03611 | No 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? |
A03611 | No, 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? |
A03611 | No? |
A03611 | Now 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? |
A03611 | Now canst thou jeere at the Saints, that are thus wounded? |
A03611 | Now 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? |
A03611 | Now why did these fal away? |
A03611 | O foolish people and unwise, all love on Gods part, and all negligence on ours? |
A03611 | O ● hou wretch, is this all? |
A03611 | Oh fearefull, is it possible there should harbour such a spirit in any man? |
A03611 | Oh that the Lord would now guide the minister, to lay his hand on the sore of this cursed infidelitie of minde? |
A03611 | Oh that this heart should ever be so opposite against the Lord? |
A03611 | Oh thou poore creature, if thou hast the heart of a man, gird up the loines of thy mind, and see what thou canst doe? |
A03611 | Oh( say some) the minister speakes home to such a one, he touched him to the quicke: What is that to thee? |
A03611 | Runne too and fro, what is that? |
A03611 | Secondly, is it so, that the wound of a sinner is in his heart? |
A03611 | That is, tell the drunkard and adulterer of their sinnes? |
A03611 | The Apostle Paul thought himselfe once alive without the Law, and who but he in the world? |
A03611 | The case of such a man is desperate: how shall we escape? |
A03611 | The second use is a word of instruction; Is this contrition? |
A03611 | The third part is the separation from sin in these words, Men and brethren, what shall we doe? |
A03611 | Then good Lord of what a strange temper art thou, that wilt not beleeve it,& that wilt not consent that it is true? |
A03611 | There 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? |
A03611 | They could not be ashamed: why? |
A03611 | Thirdly, seeing meditation brings marvelous comfort and profit to our soules, then what remaines? |
A03611 | Thirdly, then the soule is carried away from sinne by hatred and dislike; and saith, Is this the fruit of sin that delighteth me? |
A03611 | Those 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? |
A03611 | Thus carelesly, and thus proud, and disobedient? |
A03611 | Thus the Lord commands mercy to the unreasonable creature, that is thus wearied with the weight that he carrieth; hath the Lord care of oxen? |
A03611 | Was he so? |
A03611 | Was not Cain and Iudas vexed and disquieted and yet damned? |
A03611 | Were you ever in want, but God supplied you? |
A03611 | What a senselesse thing is this to be such a 〈 ◊ 〉 as God hates? |
A03611 | What a sinfull wretch am I? |
A03611 | What if no man ever yet knew it? |
A03611 | What is the reason of this? |
A03611 | What must now be done? |
A03611 | What 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? |
A03611 | What will some say, is it possible that ever they should be so pierced frō their sinnes? |
A03611 | What wouldest thou have me do ●? |
A03611 | What''s the reason of this? |
A03611 | What( saith one) is such a man turned? |
A03611 | What, 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? |
A03611 | What, is it a matter of infirmity? |
A03611 | What, is this a good heart that is not in the way to receive any good? |
A03611 | What, shall a man set his soule on a continuall racke? |
A03611 | What, shall no great ones be saved? |
A03611 | What, would you have of us Saints on earth? |
A03611 | What? |
A03611 | When any of Gods people fast or pray, they will remember you; what saith one? |
A03611 | When 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? |
A03611 | When 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? |
A03611 | When you appeare before God what wil you expect? |
A03611 | Whereas this overly, and loose dealing of yours, is loathsome to us; doe you thinke we perceive it not? |
A03611 | Who would not see his sinnes that Christ may cover them in that day of accompts? |
A03611 | Why not thou too? |
A03611 | Why was my goodnesse slighted? |
A03611 | Why was my mercy despised? |
A03611 | Why was my patience and long suffering abused? |
A03611 | Why were they never Justified and Sanctified? |
A03611 | Why, saith the Minister, what needs ● hee any comfort, seeing shee was never in distresse? |
A03611 | Why? |
A03611 | Why? |
A03611 | Will anothers mans salve cure thee? |
A03611 | Would you know what kinde of heart the Lord will accept and never cast off? |
A03611 | You can be as carnal& as secure as ever? |
A03611 | You that are at the lower end of the table, thinke with your selves; will the dish never come to the lower end? |
A03611 | all those troubles and reproofes? |
A03611 | and are there not many lusts raigning in the hearts of men and women? |
A03611 | and are these the Judgmēts of God denounced against sinfull creatures? |
A03611 | and can none such enter into the Kingdome of heaven? |
A03611 | and can this damned soule of mine be saved? |
A03611 | and can you be content that he should come home to your hearts, and dragge out your corruptions before the world? |
A03611 | and canst thou wound them further? |
A03611 | and doth it bring forth such fruits? |
A03611 | and how canst thou be an enemy to corruption, except thy heart hath beene wounded with it? |
A03611 | and is God so just, and so severe, and will he punish all sinners? |
A03611 | and is this the nature of my pride to have God resist me? |
A03611 | and is this the vile nature of sinne? |
A03611 | and must I answere for all my petty oathes? |
A03611 | and pierce him to the heart, and discourage him? |
A03611 | and shal I ever carry this vile heart about me, that wil one day carry me to hell, if thou be not the more mercifull? |
A03611 | and shall all these cursed abominations be removed? |
A03611 | and the despiser of Gods ordinances doth not say, How have I rejected the Lord Jesus Christ? |
A03611 | and thus his heart is full of feare,& he begins to reason with himselfe; what, is this the nature of sinne? |
A03611 | and what canst thou say for heaven? |
A03611 | and what if I might be free from all misery on earth? |
A03611 | and what is the mint out of which all these plagues and Judgements come? |
A03611 | and when he goeth from home, what if I never returne more? |
A03611 | and when he goeth to bed he reasoneth thus; what if I never rise more? |
A03611 | and who knoweth but God will doe so to me this day; plucke me out of the land of the living? |
A03611 | and who knows but that God may damne thee too? |
A03611 | and why came I into this world? |
A03611 | and why did they never come to beleeve in the Lord Jesus? |
A03611 | and why may I not be plagued? |
A03611 | and will God provide a crowne of glory for his professed enemies? |
A03611 | and will this proud heart never be humbled? |
A03611 | and will you thus reward the Lord? |
A03611 | and yet I shut the doore upon him: shall I now goe home to the Lord J ● sus Christ? |
A03611 | and, Is there knowledge in the Almighty? |
A03611 | are they not yet subdued as they might be? |
A03611 | are you men or are you beasts in this kinde? |
A03611 | as 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? |
A03611 | but at last when all was spent, what doth he doe? |
A03611 | can he judge through the darke? |
A03611 | can not men keepe themselves when they are well? |
A03611 | canst thou not get any assurance of the pardon of them? |
A03611 | doe you not see that such a man is an oppressor,& a prophane persō? |
A03611 | doe you see these, and not mourne and succour, and pray to heaven for them? |
A03611 | doth it worke a holy indignation and revenge against your sinfull courses? |
A03611 | doth not the Lord? |
A03611 | every 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? |
A03611 | for this is the onely way: But what course shall we take? |
A03611 | hath he any argument to alledge? |
A03611 | hath not God been a gratious God unto you? |
A03611 | have you no pitty saith the Lamenting Chu ● ch? |
A03611 | how now? |
A03611 | how often hath Christ come home to my heart, and desired entrance? |
A03611 | if we rest here, we perish forever: can nothing be done against these our sinnes, that have done so much against the Lord Jesus? |
A03611 | in misery, who succoured you? |
A03611 | in povertie who relieved you? |
A03611 | in sicknesse, who cured you? |
A03611 | is it but, It may be all this while? |
A03611 | is it come to this? |
A03611 | is there any sinne which you would not have Christ come and remove? |
A03611 | is this acceptable sorrow? |
A03611 | is this the smart of sinne? |
A03611 | it may be you will tumble downe into a well or hang your selfe, will you not? |
A03611 | let us doe any thing rather then be hindered in our pleasures; what shall we do that we may not be checked and reproved? |
A03611 | nay, what shall we thinke of that untowardnesse of heart which is in us against the command of this duty? |
A03611 | no ● ● ith he: is it here? |
A03611 | prove it: Loe, you thinke God hath need of drunkards and adulterers in heaven? |
A03611 | shall I doe that against my selfe which the Lord shall doe in that day? |
A03611 | shall I sin against his goodnesse and this kindnesse? |
A03611 | shall not this poore fainting creature be succoured? |
A03611 | shall we alwayes be poring on our corruptions? |
A03611 | that many, that have the name of Christians, will not come in; thy word will not prevaile nor take place in their hearts? |
A03611 | that we may be burdened? |
A03611 | then of our bodily eyes: and if the question be asked, what wouldst thou have honour, riches, or the like? |
A03611 | there is no questioning, nor searching, no musing: no man saith, What have I done? |
A03611 | they answered him, what is that to us? |
A03611 | they have a better course then so: for( say they) who knowes it? |
A03611 | warned you to flie from the wrath to come? |
A03611 | we are all opposers of God& his grace, shall all be damned? |
A03611 | were you ever in weakenesse, but God strengthened you? |
A03611 | what if I did want this horrour of heart, and had all the ease in the world? |
A03611 | what is this meditation? |
A03611 | what were this, so long as I had sin in my soule, that makes a separation betweene God& my soule? |
A03611 | what, despise Christ and his Spirit, nay, make my case irrecoverable, and aggravate to my condemnation? |
A03611 | what, provoke God so farre as to laugh at my destruction? |
A03611 | what, shall we make men to be chamlings, to mince their meat for them? |
A03611 | where broke you over then? |
A03611 | why then, what if God should lay these Judgemēts upon my soule? |
A03611 | why? |
A03611 | will every wicked thought sinke the soule into hell unlesse God pardon it? |
A03611 | yes very well: what is he? |
A03611 | you your selves are ashamed of this work, and do you thinke God will accept of it? |
A19282 | 12. Who can doe more then create a thing of nothing, but onely God? |
A19282 | 2. Who able to dissolue the works of the diuell, but the Almightie God? |
A19282 | 3 Are there not vsually euill seede of an holy stocke? |
A19282 | 3. Who able to forgiue an infinite debt, but an infinite power? |
A19282 | 33. and then those for this life; Do not they renounce Heauen, that make sure first for this life? |
A19282 | 4. Who was able to satisfie an infinite wrath, but an infinite Deitie? |
A19282 | 5. Who would haue sent God to dye, but God alone? |
A19282 | 57. contenting and establishing it followers therein? |
A19282 | 6. Who could haue raised vp man from the dead, but onely God? |
A19282 | 7. Who giues the blessing to the Word, the ordinary meanes of conuersion, but the mighty God? |
A19282 | 8. Who searcheth and moueth the heart, without which there can be no true conuersion, but onely God? |
A19282 | ? |
A19282 | Abuse wee not the patience of GOD, in not hearing when hee calls? |
A19282 | Although the Lord shuld kill him, yet, doth not he still trustin him? |
A19282 | And can the day of the Lord IESVS be accomplished, till this Word bee fulfilled? |
A19282 | And can there be danger, where sinne is not imputed? |
A19282 | And can they looke for better of the worlde, then to be handeled as Strangers? |
A19282 | And did euer any hate his owne flesh? |
A19282 | And doe any beleeue, but those that are ordained to euerlasting life? |
A19282 | And doth not the manner of our Conuersion auouch as much: that it is by perswading, and mollifying of our hearts? |
A19282 | And had not the Lord his end herein? |
A19282 | And haue wee not dayly experience of the Iewes comming in againe? |
A19282 | And haue you not already receiued the first fruits of your labours in Virginia? |
A19282 | And if hee be with vs, who can be against vs? |
A19282 | And is hee not in the day of trouble, a seruant to the Elect? |
A19282 | And is it not good she should be thus blacke, to preuent spiriruall pride? |
A19282 | And is it not most equall that the Lord Iesus should haue what hee hath purchased at so deere a rate? |
A19282 | And is not that the truth, to which all must yeeld? |
A19282 | And is not the Church the bodie of Christ? |
A19282 | And is not the word of God, Yea, and Amen? |
A19282 | And is our Conuersion then a worke of grace, and free compassion from the Lorde? |
A19282 | And is the Church of God in this life subiect to infirmities? |
A19282 | And is the seruant aboue the Maister? |
A19282 | And is there not great reason it should be so? |
A19282 | And is there not great reason why wee should be constant in the worship of the Almightie? |
A19282 | And might not Iob be subiect to spiruall wickednes, as spirituall pride? |
A19282 | And must it not bee so, that grace onely may be magnified, and God onely glorified? |
A19282 | And ought not then the Church to striue euen for the best, with the best? |

A19282 | and sweet promises of the Gospell, applyed to the fainting soule, by the Spirite of grace and Compassion? |
A19282 | as if theyr Lawes were absolute, theyr authoritie vncontroulable? |
A19282 | by which all must be directed? |
A19282 | can the Lord deny his word? |
A19282 | can we gather grapes of thornes, or figs of thistles? |
A19282 | could they bee able to dwell with the deuouring fire? |
A19282 | could they indure the euerlasting burning, because the common priuiledges be abused? |
A19282 | ddid not Iapheths posterity falaway to the worship of Idoles? |
A19282 | discouered by his Impatiencie, censurings,& c: howsoeuer he could not be charged with grosse open crimes? |
A19282 | doe they not by this desperate tempting of God; runne headlong to destruction? |
A19282 | doth he not here foretell of it,& so assure the returne of the Gentiles, before yet they were; much lesse were fallen away? |
A19282 | doth not the Authoritie of man, abase and annihilate the power thereof? |
A19282 | except she striue as shee ought to doe? |
A19282 | faire 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? |
A19282 | hath not God wonderfully preserued this little Iland, this Angle of the worlde? |
A19282 | haue they not ioyned themselues to vs, because the Lorde is with vs? |
A19282 | how can we hope for the continuāce of a Church, where the sound therof doth not cōtinne? |
A19282 | how could wee haue receiued this, vnlesse the minde had bene allured, and nourished with the loue of God? |
A19282 | how doth he perfect his power by her weakenesse? |
A19282 | how doth hee aduance his power in her weaknesse? |
A19282 | how fearfull is their account that possesse them without Christ? |
A19282 | how fearfull theyr condition, that esteeme it great wisedome to abate in sinceritie: as if theyr former zeale courage were follie and rashnes? |
A19282 | is shee otherwise subiect to corruption, then daily to fight with, and conquer the same? |
A19282 | must I be taught by an earthen vessel? |
A19282 | must not Iew and Gentile, make vp one bodie of CHRIST, and worshippe the Lord IESVS, in one Spirit? |
A19282 | obscuring& deprauing the simplicitie and inward beautie of the gospell by theyr outward vernish, and carnall pollishing? |
A19282 | or not rather with the spirite of meekenes? |
A19282 | seeing our Husband hath deeepely charged his beloued should not be awaked? |
A19282 | seeing there it shall be well with vs? |
A19282 | shal corruption discourage from, of not rather d ● iue vnto Christ? |
A19282 | shall not Antichrist be confounded? |
A19282 | shall not Ierusalem be a cup of poyson to all the enemies thereof? |
A19282 | shall not hee finde his life, that thus is willing to loose it? |
A19282 | shall not the Church be a stumbling stone, that whosoeuer seeke to remoue it, shall be broken in pieces therewith? |
A19282 | shall not the issues of this way,( howsoeuer seeming good) to these deceyued men, be the issues of death? |
A19282 | shall not the sound of the Word, goe to the ends of the world? |
A19282 | shall not this receiuing of the Iewes, confirme, and forerunne the most comfortable doctrine of the resurrection? |
A19282 | shalt not thou also being purged, be graciously deliuered? |
A19282 | should we know any man after the flesh? |
A19282 | should wee not discerne all things, and yet be iudged of none? |
A19282 | that I should part with my sinne, for a dreame, or a report? |
A19282 | that he should be loued of his children, that are so made by conuersion? |
A19282 | that he should enioy the seruice of his creature, which is obtained by conuersion? |
A19282 | that in former Ages was not knowne, or accounted to be any part of the world? |
A19282 | that we may winne some vnto Iesus Christ? |
A19282 | what conscience in approuing our right, by our holy vsing of these things? |
A19282 | what feare of further peruersion, where lawes are not executed, to cōpell men to perswasion? |
A19282 | what hope is there of cōuersion, where doctrine is not deliuered, by which the mind is perswaded? |
A19282 | what hope of that Church which growes worse and worse? |
A19282 | what hope of that which shal be sufficiēt for vs? |
A19282 | what pompe and visibilitie, in this simplicitie and meeknes? |

A19282 | who could haue procured this, vnles God had giuē it? |
A19282 | why 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? |
A19282 | why doe wee not labour the peace of Iesusalem, and well- fare of Syon? |
A19282 | why hasten wee not the confusion of Antichrist? |
A19282 | why plot we for the flesh, which is an enemie to our peace, whose peace is perdition,& contentmēt confusion? |
A26872 | Am I C ● nverted, or am I not? |
A26872 | And alas, must we lose our friends, and must they lose their God, their happiness, their souls for want of this? |
A26872 | And are all these ready to receive thee, and yet art thou not ready to come in? |
A26872 | And can you think he cares not whether his ends be accomplished, and whether we do the work that we are made for? |
A26872 | And do I conquer all gross sins, and am I weary, and willing to be rid of mine infirmities? |
A26872 | And do I still find thee doing the work of sin, and sleeping out thy life in negligence? |
A26872 | And do you not easily perceive it to be true? |
A26872 | And do you think that he hath any Pleasure in this? |
A26872 | And do you think that this is a pleasant thing to us? |
A26872 | And 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? |
A26872 | And how can the Holy Ghost be our Sanctifier, if God be so indifferent whether we be clean or unclean? |
A26872 | And how else will you know when the world is good or bad but by this? |
A26872 | And how quickly will that day and hour come? |
A26872 | And if the sin of the Devils deserved an endless torment, why not also the sin of man? |
A26872 | And if your Brethren see you everlastingly in misery, how shall they pitty you that were your own destroyers, and would not be disswaded? |
A26872 | And is God ready, the Sacrifice of Christ Ready, the Promise Ready, and Pardon Ready? |
A26872 | And is God the dearest and the Highest in my soul? |
A26872 | And 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? |
A26872 | And make thee send to beg their prayers whom thou didst despise in thy presumption? |
A26872 | And should all this be forgotten? |
A26872 | And then how soon will thy mind be changed? |
A26872 | And then whose shall all those things be that you have gathered? |
A26872 | And 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? |
A26872 | And were you not commanded to seek first Gods Kingdom and Righteousness, and promised, that other things should be added to you? |
A26872 | And when I sin, is it against the very habitual bent and design of my heart? |
A26872 | And when they polluted his Altar, and made the Table of the Lord contemp ● ible, they durst say Wherein have we polluted thee? |
A26872 | And who is it long of now but your selves? |
A26872 | And 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? |
A26872 | And 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? |
A26872 | And why should not you do so, that have Heaven opened to your faith, if you had but faith to see it? |
A26872 | And why then should you not think so of the Threatning of an endless and unspeakable misery? |
A26872 | And why will you not now be of the mind that you will be of then? |
A26872 | And why will you not? |
A26872 | And will that be any ease or comfort to you? |
A26872 | And will you be worse then Devils to your selves? |
A26872 | And will you do that against your selves which no one else can do? |
A26872 | And will you set your selves to your own destruction? |
A26872 | And with what Love and Ioy might we live among you? |
A26872 | And yet art thou not Ready? |
A26872 | And yet art thou not resolved to Turn? |
A26872 | And yet art thou unready? |
A26872 | And yet will you blame the absolute Lord, the most wise and gracious Soveraign of the world if he condemn the Unconverterted to perpetual misery? |
A26872 | And yet will you not be entreated to part with your sensual pleasures for your own salvation? |
A26872 | Are all things ready, and are you unready? |
A26872 | Are the matters which we were made for, and which we live for, too high for us to meddle with? |
A26872 | Are you in love with Hell? |
A26872 | Are 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? |
A26872 | Are 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? |
A26872 | Are you wiser, and better, and righteouser then he? |
A26872 | Art thou able to confute him? |
A26872 | Art thou furnished with a sufficient answer? |
A26872 | Art thou not ready to be saved from Hell, when thou art even ready to be cast remedilesly into it? |
A26872 | Art thou not ready to lay hold on Christ that would deliver thee, when thou art even ready to drown and sink into damnation? |
A26872 | Art thou not sometime convinced that all is not well with thee? |
A26872 | Art thou ready to enter the lists? |
A26872 | As 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? |
A26872 | At your death- bed, how boldly might we comfort and encourage your departing souls? |
A26872 | BVT how cometh it to pass that men should be so unreasonable in the matters of their salvation? |
A26872 | Be not these strange matters to many of you? |
A26872 | Because there are many, will you be of that way that you may be sure is wrong? |
A26872 | Behold sinners, we are set here as the Messengers of the Lord, to set before you Life and Death ▪ What say you? |
A26872 | But I am no whoremonger, nor drunkard, nor oppressor, and therefore why should you call upon me to be Converted? |
A26872 | But I mean nobody any harm, nor do no harm: and why then should God condemn me? |
A26872 | But alas, what poor stuff, what nonsense instead of reason, do we daily hear from ungodly men? |
A26872 | But are not all men sinners, even the best of you all? |
A26872 | But do you not know that the means do lead unto the end? |
A26872 | But if thou think God cares for thy body, canst thou think he cares not more for thy soul? |
A26872 | But if you do believe this, how comes it to pass that you live so quietly in an unconverted state? |
A26872 | But if you will cast it out by forgetfulness or unbelief, how can it work to your Conversion and Salvation? |
A26872 | But is not your flesh preparing for its own displeasure also? |
A26872 | But 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? |
A26872 | But perhaps you''l say, What if we should find our selves yet unconverted; what shall we do then? |
A26872 | But what is it that you are afraid of losing if you Turn? |
A26872 | But what will you do for pleasure when these are gone? |
A26872 | But why is it that God will reason the Cause with man? |
A26872 | Can 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? |
A26872 | Can it choose but torment you to think of this your present folly? |
A26872 | Can the candle burn without the oyl? |
A26872 | Can you be madder then you are already? |
A26872 | Can you expect that they should have any mercy on others, ● hat have none upon themselves? |
A26872 | Can you find any fault with God or his work, or wages? |
A26872 | Can you give any Reason for it that is worthy to be called a Reason? |
A26872 | Can you make so light of Heaven and Hell? |
A26872 | Can you think that an unholy soul is fit for heaven? |
A26872 | Can you truly say that you do as much as you are able to do? |
A26872 | Can your houses stand without the earth to bear them? |
A26872 | Christ 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? |
A26872 | Could you heartily laugh or be merry in such a state? |
A26872 | Dare you stand to ever an one of these Reasons at the Barr of God? |
A26872 | Dare you think that the Holy Ghost doth take upon him a needless work? |
A26872 | Darest thou say that the Almighty Holy God is fain to rule the world by a Lie, and to deceive men into obedience? |
A26872 | Darest thou say to him, I will not depend upon thee? |
A26872 | Darest thou venture upon a dispute with God? |
A26872 | Did 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?] |
A26872 | Did he forbid you to pray to him any more then others? |
A26872 | Did he say,[ I will pardon all that repent except thee?] |
A26872 | Did he shut you out from the liberty of his holy worship? |
A26872 | Did the many opinions of the world hinder you? |
A26872 | Did the sins of professors hinder you? |
A26872 | Didst thou ever consider, upon what terms thou standest all this while with him that calleth on thee for to Turn? |
A26872 | Didst thou never cry to him for help in thy distress? |
A26872 | Do I flie from them as my deadly enemies? |
A26872 | Do I give up my self to a life of Holiness and Obedience to God? |
A26872 | Do I hate my former sinful life, and the remnant of every sin that is in me? |
A26872 | Do I love it, and delight in it? |
A26872 | Do I need to say any more to you? |
A26872 | Do not you care what men say of you, or do to you? |
A26872 | Do we use to shut up the door of Mercy against you? |
A26872 | Do we use to tell you, that God will have no mercy on you, though you Turn and be Sanctified? |
A26872 | Do you believe all this Sirs, or do you not? |
A26872 | Do you know how to answer such a man, or do you not? |
A26872 | Do you know that you are Converted? |
A26872 | Do you make no matter of difference between a bad servant and a good? |
A26872 | Do you not observe that dayes and weeks are quickly gone; and nights and mornings come apace and speed ● ly succeed each other? |
A26872 | Do you not see that in the course of ● ature every thing is fitted to its use? |
A26872 | Do you not think of that? |
A26872 | Do you think in your Consciences that it would do you any harm to be Converted and live an holy life? |
A26872 | Dost thou believe that God is the Governour of the world or not? |
A26872 | Dost thou know what it is, that thou wouldst yet have more of it? |
A26872 | Dost thou know what will be the end? |
A26872 | Dost thou know whom thou disobeyest and contendest with, and what thou art doing? |
A26872 | Dost thou not understand and feel this voice,[ Turn ye, Turn ye, Why will ye die?] |
A26872 | Dost thou think God careth whether thou be a man or not? |
A26872 | Dost thou think that God careth what becomes of thy body? |
A26872 | Dost thou think that God is everywhere present, and infinite, and Al- sufficient? |
A26872 | Dost thou think thou shalt still esca ● e the Iudgement of God? |
A26872 | Doth God command all this ado, for a thing that he regards not? |
A26872 | Doth it love to be tormented with the Devils for ever? |
A26872 | Doth it love to stand trembling before his Bar, and to be judged to everlasting fire? |
A26872 | Doth 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? |
A26872 | Doth not this turn thy heart within thee? |
A26872 | For to what purpose should he warn you if you will not believe him? |
A26872 | For what Communion hath light with darkness, or Christ with Belial? |
A26872 | For what are all other lower Creatures for, but for man? |
A26872 | For what must you Turn? |
A26872 | Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having on a wedding garment? |
A26872 | God asketh thee, Why wilt thou die? |
A26872 | God or you? |
A26872 | Ha ● h Heaven more of my Estimation, and Resolution, then Earth? |
A26872 | Had not you the same teaching, and time, and liberty to be godly as your godly neighbours had? |
A26872 | Had you not a better world to look after first? |
A26872 | Had you the world to look after? |
A26872 | Hadst thou rather I did burn there for ever then thou shouldst live soberly as other men do? |
A26872 | Hast thou any Reason that satisfieth thine own conscience for it? |
A26872 | Hast thou any thing which thou hast not received? |
A26872 | Hast thou had so many calls, and so many mercies, and so many blows, and so many examples? |
A26872 | Hast thou not as much reason to be ready to come, as God hath to invite thee, and bid thee welcome? |
A26872 | Hath he not made thee and established thee? |
A26872 | Hath not God as much authority over you? |
A26872 | Have I a new design, and a new end, and a new train of holy affect ● ons? |
A26872 | Have I deserved this unkind dealing at thy hand? |
A26872 | Have I set my hopes and heart in heaven? |
A26872 | Have I thankfully entertained my Saviour and Lord, that offered himself with pardon and life to my soul? |
A26872 | Have you any good Reason to give, why you should not Turn, and presently Turn with all your hearts? |
A26872 | Have you been thus born again and made anew? |
A26872 | He hath done his part, and spared thee yet longer, and tryed thee another and another year: and yet dost thou not Turn? |
A26872 | He hath much entrusted you with your own salvation: and will you betray your trust? |
A26872 | He hath set you with all diligence to keep your hearts: and is this the keeping of them? |
A26872 | How canst thou open it, and read a leaf, or hear a Chapter, and not perceive God bids thee Turn? |
A26872 | How come they else to be such importunate Tempters of men: which we feel, alas, by too much experience? |
A26872 | How diligent in hearing, and learning, and enquiring? |
A26872 | How 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? |
A26872 | How earnest would you be with God in Prayer? |
A26872 | How 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? |
A26872 | How 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? |
A26872 | How fearful of sinning in thought, word, or deed? |
A26872 | How glad is he when he heare ● h thee revile the Minister that would draw thee from thy sin, and help to save thee? |
A26872 | How long wilt thou hate thy friends, and love thine enemies? |
A26872 | How low and base is your earthly, fleshly, sinful life, in comparison of the noble spiritual life of true Believers? |
A26872 | How many years hath God looked for the fruits of Love and Holiness from thee, and hath found none? |
A26872 | How many, how loud, how earnest, how dreadful, and yet what encourageing joyful Calls? |
A26872 | How might we come to be truly converted? |
A26872 | How resolutely would you scorn to yield to such temptations as now deceive you and carry you away? |
A26872 | How serious in meditating on the Laws of God? |
A26872 | How then can they live in that perfect love of him, and full delights, and Communion with him, which is the blessedness of heaven? |
A26872 | How zealously would you bestir your selves for that most blessed life? |
A26872 | I 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? |
A26872 | I will not be beholden to thee for the life and mercies of another day? |
A26872 | I 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? |
A26872 | If God did not much regard our hearts and lives, why doth he make all the world to be our Servants? |
A26872 | If 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? |
A26872 | If I came hungry or naked to one of your doors, would you not part with more then a cup of drink to relieve me? |
A26872 | If not, Who made thee, and preserveth thee? |
A26872 | If not, then how comest thou by thy life, and health, and mercies? |
A26872 | If not, why then should you think to be acquit for a course of sin against the Lord? |
A26872 | If not; will you go on against Reason it self? |
A26872 | If so, may I not say, thou art an unmerciful monster, and not a man? |
A26872 | If the dreadfull God of Heaven be slighted, who then shall be regarded? |
A26872 | If the inestimable Love and blood of a Redeemer be made light of, what then shall be valued? |
A26872 | If the town were wilfully set on fire, you would ask, What wicked wretch did this? |
A26872 | If they come from any other fountain- tell us from whence; Is it not to God that thou prayest for life and health? |
A26872 | If this had been his delight, how easily could he have had thee long ago in Hell? |
A26872 | If 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? |
A26872 | If thou hast, let us hear them; bring them forth, and make them good? |
A26872 | If we saw a man killed and cut in pieces by the way, we would presently ask, Oh who did this cruel deed? |
A26872 | If 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? |
A26872 | If you have a servant that robbeth you, will you take such an answer from him? |
A26872 | If 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? |
A26872 | If you think you have some reason to sin, should you not remember that death is the wages of sin? |
A26872 | If you were to die this day, had you not rather die in the case of a Conveted man, then of the Unconverted? |
A26872 | If you will commit again your old sins, what blessing can you expect on the means for your Conversion? |
A26872 | If you will, why do you not? |
A26872 | If 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? |
A26872 | Is 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? |
A26872 | Is an immortal soul of no more worth? |
A26872 | Is eternal death a thing to be de desired? |
A26872 | Is he a bad Master? |
A26872 | Is it I, or is it Satan that is thy enemy? |
A26872 | Is it I, or is it thy carnal self that would undo thee? |
A26872 | Is it a Pleasure to him to see you go on in sin, and can not stop you? |
A26872 | Is it an holy life, or a life of sin that thou hast cause to fly from? |
A26872 | Is it evil to be like God? |
A26872 | Is it harm to you to have the Spirit of Christ within you? |
A26872 | Is it not a strange Thing which God doth seem here to suppose, that any man should be willing to die, and be damned? |
A26872 | Is it not said that God made man in his image? |
A26872 | Is it possible that a man can have any Reason to break his Masters Laws? |
A26872 | Is it possible that a man can have any good reason to damn his own Immortal soul? |
A26872 | Is it so good to thee? |
A26872 | Is it thus indeed with me, or is it not? |
A26872 | Is it to be saved, if you turn and be sanctified? |
A26872 | Is it your friends? |
A26872 | Is it your pleasures that you are afraid of losing? |
A26872 | Is my heart broken or humbled within me for my former life? |
A26872 | Is my heart now turned another way? |
A26872 | Is my request unreasonable? |
A26872 | Is not God worthy to be the Ruler of your flesh? |
A26872 | Is not he thy Father that bought thee? |
A26872 | Is not this the Truth of your case Sirs? |
A26872 | Is that doing as well as you can, when you will not Turn to God, but your heart is against his holy and diligent service? |
A26872 | Is the Devil whom you serve, a better? |
A26872 | Is there any harm in an holy life? |
A26872 | Is there ever a man or woman in this Assembly that is yet a stranger to the renewing sanctifying work of the Holy Ghost? |
A26872 | Is there ever an Unconverted sinner that heareth these vehement words of God? |
A26872 | It s God that must sanctifie your hearts; but who corrupted them? |
A26872 | It seems then you take the word of God to be false, and then what will you believe? |
A26872 | Let the Potsheards strive with the Potsheards of the earth; Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it; What makest thou?] |
A26872 | Let the world which you served now pay your wages, and save you if it can? |
A26872 | Like a man that was born blind, and hears an high commendation of the light: but what will bearing do, unless he see it? |
A26872 | Many mercies have I shewed thee; for which of them dost thou thus despise me? |
A26872 | Mark the Lords question[ Turn ye, Turn ye, Why will you die?] |
A26872 | Might 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? |
A26872 | Must I be Converted or Condemned? |
A26872 | Must infinite wisdom learn of folly? |
A26872 | Must the Almighty stand at the Bar of a worm? |
A26872 | Must the God of heaven come to School to you to learn wisdom? |
A26872 | My desire is, that you should Hope and Trust in God: But for what is it that you will Hope? |
A26872 | Nor 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? |
A26872 | Not ready to be saved, when thou art even ready to be condemned? |
A26872 | Now what are they possessing that Turned at Gods Call? |
A26872 | Now what canst thou say in excuse of thy sin? |
A26872 | O how easily will the light of that day confound and shame such reasonings as these? |
A26872 | O my people what have I done unto thee? |
A26872 | O what thoughts will shortly fill your hearts, with unspeakable Delight or Horrour? |
A26872 | Oh 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? |
A26872 | Oh why did I not look after this till now? |
A26872 | Or any that thou darest own and plead at the barr of God? |
A26872 | Or are they worth the suffering of Eternal fire? |
A26872 | Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to Repentance? |
A26872 | Or do you think you may not have company enough in Heaven? |
A26872 | Or what course should be taken, that is liker to prevail? |
A26872 | Or will you go to Hell in despight of Reason it self? |
A26872 | Or will you not believe that God will execute his threatnings because they be so many that are guilty? |
A26872 | Or would you have him bring you and your sins to heaven together? |
A26872 | Or, Why they will rather die then Turn? |
A26872 | SO 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? |
A26872 | Shall every mole, or cold, or dung- hill, accuse the Sun of darkness, and undertake to illuminate the world? |
A26872 | Shall the living God send so earnest a Message to his creatures, and should they not obey? |
A26872 | Shall the voice of the Eternal Majesty be neglected? |
A26872 | Should not your own souls be as dear to you as theirs to them? |
A26872 | Should your flesh be pleased before your Maker? |
A26872 | Sirs, are you resolved what to do? |
A26872 | So 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? |
A26872 | Some will think with themselves, It s true, the wicked must Turn or Die: but wh ● ●''s that to me? |
A26872 | Tell 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? |
A26872 | The Controversie or Question propounded to dispute of, is, Why wicked men will damn themselves? |
A26872 | The Lord condescendeth to reason the case with Unconverted sinners, and to ask them, Why they will die? |
A26872 | The Lord condescendeth to reason the case with Vnconverted sinners, and to ask them why they will die? |
A26872 | The Lord condescendeth to reason the case with them, and asketh the wicked, Why they will die? |
A26872 | The Lyon hath roared, who will not fear? |
A26872 | The Priests that despised his name, durst ask, Wherein have we despised thy name? |
A26872 | The 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? |
A26872 | Then how comfortably should we preach Absolution and Peace to you? |
A26872 | Then is it better to be a Believing Saint, or a sensual Worldling? |
A26872 | Then will you jear at them that warned you? |
A26872 | These have come near thee, and made thee feel; they have made thee groan, and can they not make thee Turn? |
A26872 | Thou art his own, and owest him thy self and all thou hast; and may he not Command his own? |
A26872 | Turn ye, Turn ye, why will you die? |
A26872 | Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die O''house of Israel? |
A26872 | Was I awake, or in my wits? |
A26872 | Was ever such a change or work done upon my soul? |
A26872 | Well Sirs, are you yet resolved, or are you not? |
A26872 | Well Sirs, look inwards now and tell me, How are your hearts affected with these offers of the Lord? |
A26872 | Were the Church- doors shut against you? |
A26872 | What Reason hast thou to deny, or to delay? |
A26872 | What answer did he make? |
A26872 | What desires of your wel- fare did the Lord express in his holy word? |
A26872 | What doth the earth but bear us, and nourish us? |
A26872 | What harm can it do you? |
A26872 | What hindered you, but the wickedness of your hearts? |
A26872 | What iniquity have you found in me, that you have followed after vanity and forsaken me? |
A26872 | What is there in the work that Christ calls you to, that should drive a man out of his wits? |
A26872 | What is your resolution? |
A26872 | What not Ready to live, when thou hast been dead so long? |
A26872 | What now will you do Sirs? |
A26872 | What reason have you willfully to perish? |
A26872 | What sadder thing can you bring to their hearts? |
A26872 | What saist thou, Unconverted sensual wretch? |
A26872 | What say you yet Unconverted sinners? |
A26872 | What say you, Sirs? |
A26872 | What say you? |
A26872 | What should be said more to you? |
A26872 | What should one say to such men as these? |
A26872 | What state is my soul in? |
A26872 | What will you do if he take you once in hand? |
A26872 | What will you do now? |
A26872 | What will you do? |
A26872 | What will you say if he begin in wrath to plead with you? |
A26872 | What work will you be employed in? |
A26872 | What would you have God say more to you? |
A26872 | What would you have him do with his Mercy? |
A26872 | When did you ever hear a Preacher say such a word? |
A26872 | When shall it once be?] |
A26872 | When the Lord had said, Cut it down; why cumbreth it the ground? |
A26872 | When they weary the Lord with their words, they say, wherein have we wearied him? |
A26872 | When 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? |
A26872 | Where were you when the Almighty made these Laws, that he did not call you to his counsel? |
A26872 | Whether they have any sufficient reason for so doing? |
A26872 | Whether thou be sick or well? |
A26872 | Who can dwell with the everlasting fire? |
A26872 | Who forced you to sin? |
A26872 | Who is in the right now? |
A26872 | Who is it that is so cruel as to be the cause of such a thing as this? |
A26872 | Who is it that will have the worst of this? |
A26872 | Who is it then that takes Pleasure in your sin and death? |
A26872 | Who is it then that takes Pleasure in your sin? |
A26872 | Who is it then that takes pleasure in mens sin and death? |
A26872 | Who is it then that you Pleasure by your sin and death? |
A26872 | Why are men so unreasonable and loth to Turn, and will destroy themselves? |
A26872 | Why could you not if you would? |
A26872 | Why did I venturously poste off, or flubber over so great a business? |
A26872 | Why do all creatures serve thee with their labours and their lives, but that thou mightest serve the Lord of them and thee? |
A26872 | Why doth he give thee time, and health, and strength, but for to serve him? |
A26872 | Why doth the air afford thee breath, but to serve him? |
A26872 | Why doth the earth bear thee but to seek and serve the Lord? |
A26872 | Why hast thou Reason, but to Rule thy flesh, and serve thy Lord? |
A26872 | Why 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? |
A26872 | Why hast thou an understanding soul, but to learn and know his will, and do it? |
A26872 | Why hast thou meat, and drink, and cloathes, but for his service? |
A26872 | Why have you not done it all this while? |
A26872 | Why 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? |
A26872 | Why then could not you have been godly as well as they? |
A26872 | Why then will you not become a sanctified people as well as they? |
A26872 | Will any man purposely put arms into his enemies hands to resist him? |
A26872 | Will not hell be as hot to you as to others? |
A26872 | Will not such Answers as these confound and silence you? |
A26872 | Will you Turn or Die? |
A26872 | Will you Turn, or will you not? |
A26872 | Will you be undone for company? |
A26872 | Will you call your Maker to the Barr? |
A26872 | Will you displease the Lord, and displease your Teachers, and your godly friends, and all to please your brutish appetites, or sensual desires? |
A26872 | Will you do that which you have no Reason for? |
A26872 | Will you fall upon this self examination when you come home? |
A26872 | Will you resolve and promise to be at this much labour for your own souls? |
A26872 | Will you wilfully take Poison because you can not cure your selves? |
A26872 | Will you, or will you not? |
A26872 | Wilt thou undertake to prove that God is mistaken, and that thou art in the right? |
A26872 | Wilt thou yet go on and despise his word, and resist his Spirit, and stop thine ear against his Call? |
A26872 | With this Nature or Corrupt inclination we are all now born into the world: For who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? |
A26872 | Would God have done this, and appointed his Ordinances for your good, if he had taken Pleasure in your death? |
A26872 | Would be so strictly forb ● d us sin, if he were indifferent, whether we sin or no? |
A26872 | Would he command us that which he doth not care for? |
A26872 | Would he have astonished Angels and men by his condescension? |
A26872 | Would he promise eternal life to the holy and obedient, if he care not whether we be holy and obedient or no? |
A26872 | Would you have him bring you to Heaven whether you will or no? |
A26872 | Would you know the will of God? |
A26872 | Wouldst 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? |
A26872 | Yea 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? |
A26872 | Yet hast thou not had enough of sin? |
A26872 | You can say, that the Holy- Ghost is your Sanctifier, but do you know what Sanctification is? |
A26872 | You migh have said,[ To what end should I repent and turn, when it will do no good?] |
A26872 | You 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? |
A26872 | Your 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? |
A26872 | a Son that would lay down his life for you, and a Son that longs for your death that he may have your Lands? |
A26872 | after so many convictions, and gripes of Conscience: after so many purposes and promises, art thou not yet ready to turn and live? |
A26872 | an obedient, and a disobedient child? |
A26872 | and can you find this wonderful change upon your souls? |
A26872 | and deliver the Sacraments which are the Seals of Peace to you? |
A26872 | and didst thou not then understand that it was thy part to Turn and serve him if he would deliver thee? |
A26872 | and doth not conscience tell thee that thou must be a new man, and take a new course, and often call upon thee to Return? |
A26872 | and examine his Word upon the accusation of falshood? |
A26872 | and how can you devise to grieve them more? |
A26872 | and how careful to please God, and grow in Holiness? |
A26872 | and infinite Goodness be corrected by a swinish sinner, that can not keep himself an hour clean? |
A26872 | and reason to abuse the Lord that bought him? |
A26872 | and reason to dishonour the Lord of Glory? |
A26872 | and shall they therefore be acquit? |
A26872 | and should not your soul and conscience be pleased before that corruptible flesh? |
A26872 | and such a change indeed there is? |
A26872 | and such as you never felt upon your selves? |
A26872 | and that God hath by his righteous Law concluded that you must repent or perish? |
A26872 | and that you have such hearts as are before described? |
A26872 | and to have a cleansed purified heart? |
A26872 | and to think what an everlasting life of Glory you wilfully despise and cast away? |
A26872 | and what a bewitching and befooling thing is sin? |
A26872 | and what can you say is the chief cause of your damnation, but your own Wills? |
A26872 | and when he heareth thee curse, or swear, or rail? |
A26872 | and wherein have I wearied thee? |
A26872 | and who is it long of? |
A26872 | and why do you not fall upon it yet? |
A26872 | and would you not lay it to heart? |
A26872 | and yet wilt thou now neglect it, and suffer us to return without our errand? |
A26872 | are these such things as should make men mad? |
A26872 | between a faithful friend and a deadly enemy? |
A26872 | durst you live another day in it? |
A26872 | hast thou not served the flesh and the Devil long enough? |
A26872 | hast thou seen so many laid in the grave, and yet art thou not ready to let go thy sins and come to Christ? |
A26872 | how can I find in my heart to disobey? |
A26872 | is a life of worldliness and ungodliness better? |
A26872 | it loves the bait, but doth it love the hook? |
A26872 | nor care how he thinks, or speaks, or lives? |
A26872 | of an holy and heavenly man, then of a carnal earthly man? |
A26872 | or at least can there be a more dangerous madness, then to neglect your everlasting welfare, and wilfully undo your selves? |
A26872 | or did you not keep away your selves? |
A26872 | or fit and sleep, or hear as if you did not hear? |
A26872 | or is the flesh a better? |
A26872 | or so profitable for thee? |
A26872 | or who did hold you back from Duty? |
A26872 | or would you not rather be the more careful to enquire the way? |
A26872 | that is, What dost thou in my Church among professed Christians, without an holy heart and life? |
A26872 | to Praise the Lord with Saints and Angels, or to cry out in fire unquenchable with Devils? |
A26872 | to see you merry, when you are not sure to be an hour out of Hell? |
A26872 | to see you so miserable, and can not so much as make you sensible of it? |
A26872 | to think what you must for ever suffer, because you will not Turn? |
A26872 | when they were pricked in their hearts,& said, Men and Brethren, what shall we do? |
A26872 | when thou hast been besides thy self so long? |
A26872 | when wilt thou let go all and Turn, and deliver up thy self to God, and give thy Redeemer the possession of thy soul? |
A26872 | whether thou live or die? |
A26872 | which of them will you choose? |
A26872 | why doth it afford thee its fruits but to serve him? |
A26872 | will you Turn, or not? |
A26872 | will you make or buy a Clock or Watch, and daily look to it, and not care whether it go true or false? |
A26872 | will you sit upon him and judge him by the Law of your Conceits? |
A26872 | would 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? |
A26915 | 18? |
A26915 | 19. how much more evidently is this declared in the death of Christ? |
A26915 | 28? |
A26915 | 38 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? |
A26915 | 3? |
A26915 | 6. 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 | ? |
A26915 | Ah Sirs, doth Conscience justifie you in this? |
A26915 | Am I ready to die, if it were this hour? |
A26915 | Am I sure of my Salvation? |
A26915 | And and what you have been doing all your lives? |
A26915 | And are you thankfull to a plain Reprover, though he tell you of the most disgracefull sinne? |
A26915 | And can you expect that God should deal so by you? |
A26915 | And can you fear least Conversion would bring you into a worse condition then this? |
A26915 | And can you have while for every thing, except that one thing, which all the rest are meerly to promote? |
A26915 | And can you not bear such a sorrow for a little while? |
A26915 | And did you ever consider, who and how many do stay for you while you delay? |
A26915 | And do you as it were see the Judge approaching, and damnation hasting on, and yet will you delay? |
A26915 | And do you not yet know why? |
A26915 | And 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? |
A26915 | And 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? |
A26915 | And 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? |
A26915 | And had you rather sorrow as they do, then as the godly do? |
A26915 | And have they not more Reason to seek their Own Salvation? |
A26915 | And have you all this to do, and yet will you delay? |
A26915 | And how can it choose but be a troublesome distracting thing to your mind, to be unresolved what course to take for your Everlasting state? |
A26915 | And how can you more plainly shew that you despise God, and Heaven, then by such a course as this? |
A26915 | And how comes it to pass that you think not of your own misery, that believe no better in the holy Ghost? |
A26915 | And how free are his offers? |
A26915 | And how have I dispatcht it? |
A26915 | And how many would be saved, if we could but tell how to make men Consider ● te? |
A26915 | And how shall he know when to restrain his sorrows? |
A26915 | And 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? |
A26915 | And if you must lay out your thoughts on some thing, is it not better lay them out on these things, then on any other? |
A26915 | And 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? |
A26915 | And is it not time for a man in so much danger to Consider of them, that he may know how to escape? |
A26915 | And is there any thing in this life which you have cause to be afraid of? |
A26915 | And is this a state to stay in an hour? |
A26915 | And is your Everlasting happiness a matter to be wil ● ully hazarded, by causeless and unreasonable delays? |
A26915 | And it is a sign also that you are in love with sinne: For else why should you be so loath to leave it? |
A26915 | And must God Consider of you, that will not Consider of him, or your own Souls? |
A26915 | And now consider what a case you are in, while you remain unconverted? |
A26915 | And now who shall condemn us? |
A26915 | And 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? |
A26915 | And shall I runne again into the misery that I was saved from? |
A26915 | And shou ● d not these be thought on? |
A26915 | And should I not be as serious, in the Matters of Everlasting Life? |
A26915 | And should you not Study how to save your own? |
A26915 | And therefore next ask your selves, Why should I not now Resolve and fixedly Resolve, to Turn without any more delay? |
A26915 | And therefore to your more excellent immortall Souls, and that in a work that must needs be done, how exceeding unsuitable are Delaies? |
A26915 | And thus follow on the discourse with your hearts? |
A26915 | And what are the Reasons which you have on the contrary to hinder you from Resolving? |
A26915 | And what business was I sent into the world about? |
A26915 | And what causeless fears are they that use to afflict the Servants of God, concerning their outward troubles, and necessities? |
A26915 | And what hurt would Holiness do thee? |
A26915 | And what is more contrary to this then Delay? |
A26915 | And what other Reasons have you against Resolving? |
A26915 | And what pitty is it that so much should be lost? |
A26915 | And what the better are you for being men and having Reason, if you have not the Vse of your Reason, when you need it? |
A26915 | And where you have been all this while? |
A26915 | And wherein do you differ from the beasts, so much as in your Reason? |
A26915 | And who was ever the worse for Holiness? |
A26915 | And why but to see and admire the Wisdom, and Power, and Goodness, and Mercy, and Justice of God, shining forth in the Redeemer? |
A26915 | And why is all this? |
A26915 | And why is this? |
A26915 | And why not without so much adoe? |
A26915 | And 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? |
A26915 | And why then will you not Resolve for it? |
A26915 | And will a man that is unresolved forsake his friends, estate, and life, for the sake of Christ, and the hopes of Glory? |
A26915 | And will any man do this for he knows not what? |
A26915 | And will not God then Love his Own do you think? |
A26915 | And will the great and blessed God invite thee to his favour, and wilt thou delay and demurre upon the Return? |
A26915 | And will you now Delay to accept the benefit, and turn to him? |
A26915 | And will you say, It''s time enough to morrow? |
A26915 | And will you trifle then in a work that must be done? |
A26915 | And 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? |
A26915 | And yet after all these Reasons art thou not Resolved? |
A26915 | And yet are you unresolved? |
A26915 | And yet for all this will you not Resolve to do it? |
A26915 | And yet is not the way to Heaven fair enough for you? |
A26915 | And yet is not this your everie- daies practice? |
A26915 | And 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? |
A26915 | And yet will you Delay to accept the blessed offers of Grace, which is a greater thing? |
A26915 | And 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? |
A26915 | And yet will you delay your Conversion, and the making sure of Heaven? |
A26915 | And yet will you not be drawn to the Consideration of such astonishing things as these? |
A26915 | And yet will you not do it? |
A26915 | And yet would you stay longer in it? |
A26915 | And yet you will hypocritically pretend that you love God above all, when you will not so much as seriously Think of him? |
A26915 | Are our Praiers, and tears, and groane; to be despised? |
A26915 | Are our studies, and our labours worth nothing, think you? |
A26915 | Are our watchings and waiting, worth nothing? |
A26915 | Are you Resolved that it should be done, and must be done, and yet will you not Resolve to do it? |
A26915 | Are you not able to go somtimes by your selves, and Consider of these matters? |
A26915 | Are 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? |
A26915 | Are you not blind if you see not this is in your selves? |
A26915 | Are you not deep enough in debt to God already, and have you not yet sinnes enough to answer for upon your Souls? |

A26915 | I pray you Consider; Can you reasonably think that Conversion will do you any harm? |
A26915 | I 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? |

A26915 | Is it better to pamper a carcass that must shortly stink as the dung, then to provide for a living immortall soul? |
A26915 | Is it enough for you, though you be despised and persecuted in the world? |
A26915 | Is 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? |
A26915 | Is it not most likely to be only the fear of death that makes you take up these Resolutions? |
A26915 | Is it not out of a state of wrath? |
A26915 | Is it not the sooner the better? |
A26915 | Is it not time therefore to make out to Christ for strength; and should not the very sense of your disability disswade you from delay? |
A26915 | Is it not your Judgment? |
A26915 | Is it one hour of a hundred, of a thousand, of ten thousand, with some of you, that is thus spent? |
A26915 | Is it your Resolution to live and die as you are? |
A26915 | Is my Soul Converted, and truly Sanctified by the Holy Ghost? |
A26915 | Is not God, is not your Redeemer worth the Thinking on? |
A26915 | Is not the case plain before me? |
A26915 | Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my Treasures? |
A26915 | Is sinne a Paradise? |
A26915 | Is the devil a Friend that you are so loath to leave him? |
A26915 | Is the filthy pleasure of the flesh for a few hours, better then the endless joys of the Saints? |
A26915 | Is there any difficulty in the point? |
A26915 | Is there any good in it? |
A26915 | Is there ever a man so mad that he dare speak this and stand to it? |
A26915 | Is this the work that I made thee for, and that I feed and preserve thee, and continue thee alive for? |
A26915 | It 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? |
A26915 | Love borne of a Virgin? |
A26915 | Must God as it were hold the drunkard the candle while he reeles and spues? |
A26915 | Must another man make it the business of his life, to Think how to do you good, that you may be saved? |
A26915 | Must he draw the curtain, while the filthy wretch doth once more please his fleshly lusts? |
A26915 | My Question is this; Hast thou ever s ● berly Considered of thy waies, and laid th ● se greatest matters to heart, or hast thou not? |
A26915 | Not a man but a miserable fool will do it? |
A26915 | O 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? |
A26915 | O let not the Just and Jealous God stand over thee, and see thee guilty of such wickedness? |
A26915 | O precious time ● what hearts have they, what lives do those men lead, that think time long? |
A26915 | O sinners, what do you do, to make your recovery so difficult by delay? |
A26915 | O then how earnestly should I think of these things? |
A26915 | O 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? |
A26915 | O what a Confounding charge would this? |
A26915 | O what a dangerous ticklish condition have you stood in all this while? |
A26915 | O 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? |
A26915 | O what an ease is it to the Soul, to be free from so much of the burden of sinne? |
A26915 | O you will think with your selves; was not God more worthy of my youthfull daies? |
A26915 | Of the time you have had; and how you have spent it? |
A26915 | Oh then it will come with horrour into your mind, How oft was I perswaded, and told of this? |
A26915 | One 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? |
A26915 | Or canst thou think of the endless miseries of the damned, and yet be unresolved whether to turn or not? |
A26915 | Or did it ever do any man good? |
A26915 | Or how can you prove that it is my duty? |
A26915 | Or rather will it not torment you one day to remember it? |
A26915 | Or rather would you not either soundly whip them, or take their meat from them, till hunger teach them to use it better? |
A26915 | Or what hath it ever done for you, that you should love it? |
A26915 | Or when it may possibly cost you your lives? |
A26915 | Or whether it be better to turn to God, or not? |
A26915 | Or will you strive against sinne as the greatest evil, when you know not the evil of it? |
A26915 | Seeing so great a mercy is offered to the world, why may not I partake of it as well as others? |
A26915 | Shall God be your Master indeed, and shall Christ be your Saviour& Lord? |
A26915 | Shall Heaven be your happiness, and have your hearts indeed? |
A26915 | Shall Holiness be your business indeed? |
A26915 | Shall I linger till death come, and find me unconverted? |
A26915 | Shall all the rest of your work be undone? |
A26915 | Shall he see thee read such urgent Reasons, and yet wilt not Resolve? |
A26915 | Shall he see thee read these earnest requests, and yet not Resolve? |
A26915 | Should a worm thus use the Lord that made him? |
A26915 | Should not a creature obey the Lord that made him? |
A26915 | Should you not bethink you a few hours, of the place, and state that you must live in for ever? |
A26915 | So when Reason is laid asleep, and out of the way, what may not the Appetite do? |
A26915 | Tell 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? |
A26915 | That God should assume the Nature of man into personal Union? |
A26915 | That Reasonable Creatures should be so phrenet ● ck, that they can not be resolved whether it be better be saved, or be damned? |
A26915 | The 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? |
A26915 | The question is not, what good meanings, or wishes, or purposes, you may have, but whether you are Resolved, and firmly Resolved? |
A26915 | Then how wouldst thou abhor the name of sin: and how weary wouldst thou be of the pleasantest life that sensuality could afford thee? |
A26915 | There is but one Infinite, unconceivable, perfect Good; and shall he be abased by such a question? |
A26915 | Thou numbrest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sinne? |
A26915 | Thou wilt never have better opportunities then thou hast had? |
A26915 | To make once a question whether God or flesh should be pleased; whether Christ or the world should be loved, and followed? |
A26915 | To what end? |
A26915 | Upon the death of 50070 men; how much more may the guilty Soul say so, when he thinks on the Crucified Sonne of God? |
A26915 | Was I so hardly recovered, by a Miracle of Mercy? |
A26915 | Was ever man made Happy by it? |
A26915 | Was it not in the power of Satan? |
A26915 | Was this it that he preserved you for, and daily gave you in provision for? |
A26915 | Well Sirs; if you will be Christians, count what it must cost you? |
A26915 | Well Sirs; you see now what you must do: the next question then is, what you will do? |
A26915 | Were it not better provok and despise all the world? |
A26915 | Were it not better to lose the favour of all the world? |
A26915 | What Reason have I to stand questioning the matter any longer, and to be unwilling to be happy? |
A26915 | What a case are you in, if death find you unconverted? |
A26915 | What a cheating, blinding thing is the world? |
A26915 | What a confusion and warre do you thus make in your own Souls? |
A26915 | What a loss will this be? |
A26915 | What a shamefull unreasonable course is this? |

A26915 | What brings so many thousand Souls to Hell, but because they would not Consider in time? |
A26915 | What contrivances some of them make for riches, or rising in the world? |
A26915 | What do we fear, and groan under, and complaine of, but our Fathers physick, and the means of our Salvation? |
A26915 | What hast make other Creatures in your service? |
A26915 | What hast makes the Sunne about the world, to return in its time to give you light? |
A26915 | What have you done with all your talents? |
A26915 | What have you to do on Earth but to Consider how to get well to Heaven? |
A26915 | What hours of the day, can a man come to you, and find your Thoughts altogether idle? |
A26915 | What if it were but the case of my body, or state, or name, should I not earnestly consider of it? |
A26915 | What is it sirs that you stick at, that you make so many delayes before you''l turn? |
A26915 | What life is in his promises? |
A26915 | What likelihood is there that ever so foolish a sinner should be recovered and saved from his sinne? |
A26915 | What 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? |
A26915 | What means of overcoming Ignorance like Teaching; and what means of overcoming Habituated Wilfullness, like Perswasion, added to informing truths? |
A26915 | What minute of an hour can a man come and ask you, What are you now Thinking on? |
A26915 | What need I to venture upon unwarrantable means, to preserve either credit, or goods, or life? |
A26915 | What plain and plentifull teaching have you? |
A26915 | What purpose you to do for the time to come? |
A26915 | What rageing passions? |
A26915 | What reason of distrustfull feares can you now have? |
A26915 | What say you Sirs to this reasonable request? |
A26915 | What say you, Sirs? |
A26915 | What say you? |
A26915 | What say you? |
A26915 | What sweetness in every passage of his grace; and what a feast in his unmeasurable Love? |
A26915 | What then should a Christian fear, but sinne? |
A26915 | What violent rebellious senses to contend with, to Master and to rule? |
A26915 | What was the Sonne of God, but Love Incarnate? |
A26915 | What will this do for thee in thy extremity? |
A26915 | What wise man would live an hour in such a case for all the world? |
A26915 | What work transcendeth the incomprehensible Miracle of the Incarnation? |
A26915 | What: is it that common Grace doth, if it no whit dispose them towards God? |
A26915 | What? |
A26915 | What? |
A26915 | What? |
A26915 | What? |
A26915 | What? |
A26915 | What? |
A26915 | When should men make Hay but when the Sun shines? |
A26915 | When 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? |
A26915 | When you are thinking of the Reasons that should move you to be Converted, ask your selves? |
A26915 | Whether Heaven or Earth should be more carefully sought after? |
A26915 | Whether Heaven or Earth ▪ Eternal Glory or the transitory pleasures of sinne should be preferred? |
A26915 | Whether a Holy, or a careless, wicked life be more to be desired? |
A26915 | Whether do you think that Earth or Heaven will be the more glorious and durable felicity? |
A26915 | Whether the Holy Ghost or the Devil should dwell in us, and guide us? |
A26915 | Whether the Saints of God, or the servants of the Devil should be our chosen company? |
A26915 | Whether the Word and Minsiters of Christ, or the examples and words of wicked men, should more prevail with us? |
A26915 | Whether the fire be hot or cold? |
A26915 | Whether these Reasons be not cleare, and what you have to say against them? |
A26915 | Whether you should care and labour more to be saved from sinne and Hell, or from poverty and worldly crosses, and reproaches? |
A26915 | Whether you will dwell with God and Angels, or with Devils? |
A26915 | Whether you will live in Heaven or Hell for ever? |
A26915 | Which of them was it that lost his goods, and which did save them? |
A26915 | Which of these think you is the wiser man? |
A26915 | Who can cause the Sunne to delay its Course? |
A26915 | Who cares for the Physician that feels no sickness, and feares not death? |
A26915 | Who was it that brought you to this Necessity of sorrow? |
A26915 | Who will believe that you love the Light, when you shut the windows, and draw the curtains? |
A26915 | Who will take a servant that is not resolved to do any service? |
A26915 | Who will take an unresolved person if he knows it, as a wife, or friend into his intimate love? |
A26915 | Who would travail on an hour longer, that knowes he is out of his way, and must come back again? |
A26915 | Whom have you to blame, and find fault with but your selves: was it not you that sinned? |
A26915 | Why 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? |
A26915 | Why Sirs, are not your Souls worth the Thinking on? |
A26915 | Why Sirs, if you had a hundred mile to go, in a day or two, upon paine of death; would you delay? |
A26915 | Why 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? |
A26915 | Why Sirs, shall these trifles be done without delay, and shall your Salvation be put off? |
A26915 | Why are you not able? |
A26915 | Why do I not set about it, and speedily resolve? |
A26915 | Why else did he give us such leisure, and ability to improve it? |
A26915 | Why how can you be so blind? |
A26915 | Why 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? |
A26915 | Why this he hath done in his Word, and doth it by his Embassadors, and why then should I not consider it? |
A26915 | Why what is this but to be condemners of your selves? |
A26915 | Why? |
A26915 | Why? |
A26915 | Why? |
A26915 | Will Heaven intice the man that thinks not of it? |
A26915 | Will Hell deterre the man that thinks not of it? |
A26915 | Will 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? |
A26915 | Will they lie at his feet, and beg for mercy, that feel themselves well enough without him? |
A26915 | Will 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? |
A26915 | Will you Turn this hour without delay? |
A26915 | Will you be unresolved till the night come on? |
A26915 | Will you believe in a Christ whom you do not know, and trust your souls and all upon him? |
A26915 | Will you delay till this Harvest time be over, and the Winter of persecution come again? |
A26915 | Will you obey God, and your own Consciences, or will you not? |
A26915 | Will you rather throw away your Thoughts then God shall have them? |
A26915 | Will you rest upon a Promise, or fear a Threatning, or be ruled by a Law, which you do not understand? |
A26915 | Will you then make as light of his mercy as you do now? |
A26915 | Will you therefore think to mend the matter, by sending one that knoweth not a step of the way, nor will not learn it? |
A26915 | Will you turn or not? |
A26915 | Would not these be your cries, if God should call you presently away? |
A26915 | Would 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? |
A26915 | Would 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? |
A26915 | Would 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? |
A26915 | Would you fain have one years sinnes more, or one daies sinnes more to be charged upon you? |
A26915 | Would you not think him a mad man that would say, I will go on a little further, and then I will turn back? |
A26915 | Would you stand month after month, intreating and waiting on them, as God doth on you, in a foolisher course? |
A26915 | Yea and to choose the worser part, and stick to it in your heart and life? |
A26915 | Yea he reasons with thee from the experience of all the world: Who was ever the b ● tter for sinning? |
A26915 | Yea 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? |
A26915 | Yea would you justifie God, if he should condemn you? |
A26915 | Yea, all that fear God about you are bound to Study to do you good? |
A26915 | Yea; but who knows whether these last Resolutions be sincere? |
A26915 | Yet are you not ready to turn to God? |
A26915 | You 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? |
A26915 | You are travailers to another world, and will you stay till the day is almost past, before you will begin your journey? |
A26915 | You live like mad men: for what is Madness, but a loss of the use of Reason? |
A26915 | You 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? |
A26915 | You then think God deales somewhat hardly with you: And why will you not turn then by gentler means? |
A26915 | You will do it, and you hope you shall, but when? |
A26915 | Your present prosperity, and worldly delights are posting away without Delay: and should you delay to make sure of better in their stead? |
A26915 | and another lash and ask him, What say you now, will you yet obey? |
A26915 | and are you n ● t as much bound to do good to your selves? |
A26915 | and can you ● eep that which he calleth you to forsake? |
A26915 | and could not be Resolved after so many years Consideration; what would you think and say of these wise men? |
A26915 | and how little or nothing hath God had of all? |
A26915 | and in comparison of which they are all but dreams? |
A26915 | and shall I go to it again? |
A26915 | and shall all this be lost, for want of going to the bottom, and making a through work of it? |
A26915 | and 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? |
A26915 | and should you not bethink you then, of the things that concern your own good? |
A26915 | and still are you unresolved? |
A26915 | and that I may not have Communion with the Saints in Holiness? |
A26915 | and that I may not sanctifie the Lords Day? |
A26915 | and what happy advantages have you for Salvation? |
A26915 | and what may not Temptations do with the Soul? |
A26915 | and what may not the Passions do? |
A26915 | and when every one will be deriding and railing at you? |
A26915 | and when will it once be? |
A26915 | and 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? |
A26915 | and which of them shouldest thou preferre? |
A26915 | and, What canst thou do more?] |
A26915 | and, What would you have done in Spain or Italy, where it would cost you your lives? |
A26915 | are you not Convinced that it were your wisest course to part with them this very day and hour? |
A26915 | are you not led by Reason? |
A26915 | did thy Land, and Livings, worldly matters deserve all thy Thoughts, and did not the saving of the Soul deserve some of them? |
A26915 | do you not know that you forsake it by not for saking it, and lose all, by saving any thing? |
A26915 | how oft had I inward motions to return? |
A26915 | how oft was I purposed to be holy, and to give up my heart and life to God? |
A26915 | how unready to appear before the dreadfull God whom you have offended; and what a terrible appearance do you think that will be to you? |
A26915 | if I should tell you but one half the blessings of a Sanctified and spirituall state? |
A26915 | is Sanctification but such a thing as this? |
A26915 | nor know the meaning of your Baptismall Covenant? |
A26915 | not to come home to thy God, to thy Father, to thy Saviour, to to thy self, after so long and wilfull sinning? |
A26915 | of all your life past; of the Relations you have born; and how you have performed the duties of those relations? |
A26915 | or are you not? |
A26915 | or speak any holyer words then thou hast spoken? |
A26915 | or whether sinne with Hell after it, be better than Holiness with Heaven after? |
A26915 | or who can stay the ascending flames? |
A26915 | p. 181. l. 1. r. this be? |
A26915 | shall I provoke God by dallying with him, and hazzard my Soul by lingering out my time, in such a miserable state? |
A26915 | that being reviled, reviled not again: that gave his life, an offering for sinne, and dyed, and prayed for them that murdered him? |
A26915 | that never was contrite, and broken hearted for sin? |
A26915 | then whether you should eate, or drink, or sleep, for the preservation of your bodies? |
A26915 | they would be readier to say, How can you prove that I may not pray with my Family? |
A26915 | till the Lord of the Feast shall take them to task, and say, Friend, how comest thou in hither, not having on a wedding garment? |
A26915 | to carry a Judge about with you in your own brests, that is still passing sentence against you? |
A26915 | was ease and idleness, or eating, or drinking, or vaine discourses, or recreation, the business that you came into the world about? |
A26915 | was 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? |
A26915 | was sport and merryment the end that you were created for? |
A26915 | what a case art thou in, if this should once be the resolution of God? |
A26915 | whether God or the flesh should be first obeyed, and loved? |
A26915 | which is in plain English, whether it be better go to Heaven or to Hell? |
A26915 | which is the more desireable? |
A26915 | which 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? |
A26695 | & c. quando te videbo? |
A26695 | ( Why, thou knowest not but it may be the next night, yea the next moment) where wouldst thou be then? |
A26695 | 12. or the lifeless Carkass to feel and move? |
A26695 | 12. who better perswaded of his Case, than Paul, while yet he remained unconverted? |
A26695 | 13. and yet will you not hearken? |
A26695 | 13. how miserable would he think it, to be held to it to all eternity? |
A26695 | 13. or the Paradise of God be the better choice? |
A26695 | 14, 15. who thirst for your salvation? |
A26695 | 14. and dost thou not yet think with thy self, surely it was for some noble and raised end? |
A26695 | 14. see the margin, and given such a promise to him thereupon, and will not you p ● t in for a share, neither in the praise, nor the promise? |
A26695 | 17. and do you thus requite them, O foolish and unwise? |
A26695 | 18. and wilt thou not yet believe, O sinner, that he is in earnest? |
A26695 | 19. and profess they know God, but in works deny him? |
A26695 | 19. why then, what hinders but that thou shouldest be happy? |
A26695 | 21, and make thee to 〈 ◊ 〉 down in sorrows? |
A26695 | 21. and will it not be dearly bought? |
A26695 | 23. dost thou yet think it but a small thing? |
A26695 | 24. what shall be done with thee, when thou fallest into the hands of the living God? |
A26695 | 29. and what is thy business without Gods blessing? |
A26695 | 3, 4, 5, 6,& c. And art thou a fit match for such an antagonist? |
A26695 | 3, 7. shall we think God will? |
A26695 | 3. and yet do you wonder, why your Ministers do so plainly travel in birth with you? |
A26695 | 3. how powerfully hath sin bewitched them? |
A26695 | 3. what is the wrath of the infinite God? |
A26695 | 4. as though the strength of Israel would lie? |
A26695 | 4. or for the Potsherd of the earth to strive with his Maker? |
A26695 | 46. and will you not own it with your practice? |
A26695 | 6, 7. and yet will you not come? |
A26695 | 7, 8. where were the glory of divine Justice, since it should be given to the wicked according to the work of the righteous? |
A26695 | 7. and what can be said more? |
A26695 | 7. shall not such much more expect it from Christs holiness? |
A26695 | 8. and hope that the favour of Christ''s ointments, and the smell of his garments will attract him? |
A26695 | 8. as if thou wert but going to wash thee, or swim for thy recreation? |
A26695 | 9. or to harden your selves against his word? |
A26695 | AND now, my brethren, let me know your minds, What do you intend to do? |
A26695 | Against whom you have exalted your voice, and lifted your eyes on high? |
A26695 | Alas my Glory/ Whither art thou humbled? |
A26695 | Alas shall I leave them thus? |
A26695 | Alas, if the poor man think a Sermon long, and say of a Sabbath, What a weariness is it? |
A26695 | Alas, what shall I say? |
A26695 | Alas, what will thy sins do for thee, that thou shouldst stick at parting with them? |
A26695 | Am I a mourner for the sins of the Land? |
A26695 | And art not thou fairly offered? |
A26695 | And 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? |
A26695 | And doth not thy soul tremble as thou readest? |
A26695 | And have I toiled all this while and caught nothing? |
A26695 | And have they sped so well? |
A26695 | And how shall I tell men, that which I do not know? |
A26695 | And is it true indeed? |
A26695 | And is this true indeed? |
A26695 | And is this, that we have described, the Conversion that is of absolute necessity to salvation? |
A26695 | And shew kindness to them that are kind to them? |
A26695 | And the drunkard still at his vomit? |
A26695 | And there came one, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? |
A26695 | And 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? |
A26695 | And thou dost not know, but the next night, thou mayst make thy Bed in Hell? |
A26695 | And were it not better thou shouldst be a joy to Angels, than a laughing stock and sport for Devils? |
A26695 | And what is it that the Creation groaneth for? |
A26695 | And what misery have my sins brought upon me? |
A26695 | And whither else shouldst thou go? |
A26695 | And why may not men be twice born in nature, as well as in grace? |
A26695 | And wil ● thou yet believe thine own presumptuous confidence, directly against Christs words? |
A26695 | And will God receive these for true converts, because turned to the Christian Religion? |
A26695 | And wilt thou run upon destruction, when God himself doth forewa ● ● thee? |
A26695 | And wilt thou yet be in love with thy self, and tell us any longer of thy good heart? |
A26695 | And yet wilt thou not give up such a blasphemous hope? |
A26695 | Any mercy after such provoking iniquity? |
A26695 | Application, Arise then, what meanest thou O sleeper? |
A26695 | Are there not many that name the name of the Lord Jesus, that yet depart not from iniquity? |
A26695 | Are these out of the reach of humane power? |
A26695 | Are you agreed that Christ shall end the controversie? |
A26695 | Are you at peace? |
A26695 | Art thou a man, and hast thou reason? |
A26695 | Art 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? |
A26695 | Art 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? |
A26695 | Art thou deliberately, understandingly, freely, fixedly, determined to ● ● eave to him in all times, and conditions? |
A26695 | Art thou in league with Hell? |
A26695 | Art thou in love with thy misery? |
A26695 | Art thou in none of the forementioned Ranks? |
A26695 | Art thou like the horse that paweth in the valley, and rejo ● ceth in his strength, who 〈 ◊ 〉 out to meet the armed men? |
A26695 | Art thou made without fear, and contemnest his barbed Irons? |
A26695 | Art thou now become a slave to sense, a servant to so base an Idol, as thy Belly? |
A26695 | Art thou struck almost dead with the hellish damp? |
A26695 | Art thou such a Leviathan, as that the scales of thy pride should keep thee from thy Makers coming at thee? |
A26695 | Art thou turned into flesh? |
A26695 | Art thou willing to come in? |
A26695 | Art thou yet in ignorance, and not turned from darkness to light? |
A26695 | Ask your self, what sin have I committed? |
A26695 | Before the news of a Christ was a stale and sapless thing; but now how sweet is a Christ? |
A26695 | Before this change all the cry was, Who will shew us any( worldly) good? |
A26695 | Behold God''s workmanship in thy body, and ask thy self, to what end did God rear this fabrick? |
A26695 | Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him? |
A26695 | Believest thou this? |
A26695 | Beware 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? |
A26695 | But doth not thy heart condemn thee, and tell thee, there is such a sin thou livest in against thy Conscience? |
A26695 | But how close doth this sin lurk oft- times under a fair covert of forward profession? |
A26695 | But how long may I call, and can get no answer? |
A26695 | But if it be the very word of God, that all this miser ● lies upon thee, what a case art thou in? |
A26695 | But if these be short of Conversion, what shall I say of the profane sinner? |
A26695 | But thy Conversion is necessary, thy damnation lies upon it, and is it not needful in so important a case to look about thee? |
A26695 | But what is it that the Creation groaneth under? |
A26695 | But whence shall I fetch my arguments, or how shall I choose my words? |
A26695 | But would you not have me solicitous for you, when I see you ready to perish? |
A26695 | By this time methinks I hear my Reader crying out with the Disciples, Who then shall be saved? |
A26695 | Can Kings, or Warriors? |
A26695 | Can Mammon? |
A26695 | Can any other but Christ save thee? |
A26695 | Can the lifeless carcass shake off its grave cloths, and loose the bonds of death? |
A26695 | Can the world in good earnest do that for you, that Christ can? |
A26695 | Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong in the day that I shall deal with thee, saith the Lord of Hosts? |
A26695 | Can you evidence that you have something more than any Hypocrite in the world ever had? |
A26695 | Can you shew the distinguishing marks of a sound Believer? |
A26695 | Canst thou abide the consuming fire? |
A26695 | Canst thou be content to burn? |
A26695 | Canst thou charm thy Beast with Musick? |
A26695 | Canst thou do well without his favour? |
A26695 | Canst thou dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A26695 | Canst thou escape his hands, or endure his vengeance? |
A26695 | Canst thou hope he will be forsworn for thee? |
A26695 | Canst thou think without loathing of thy trough and draugh? |
A26695 | Cast 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? |
A26695 | Conscience, wilt thou altogether hold thy peace at such a time as this? |
A26695 | Consider how the Lord hath revealed himself to you in his word: will you take him as such a God? |
A26695 | Consider the noble faculties or my Heaven- born soul: to what end did God bestow these excellencies? |
A26695 | Couldst thou cherish it, and take delight in it? |
A26695 | Couldst thou take up a Toad into thy bosom? |
A26695 | Cut it down, why cumbreth it the ground? |
A26695 | Darest thou make light of this? |
A26695 | Dearly beloved, would you rejoyce the heart of your Minister? |
A26695 | Deeper than hell, what can we know? |
A26695 | Did not God find me on my Bed, when he looked for me on my knees? |
A26695 | Did not I arise from the Table without dropping any thing of God there? |
A26695 | Did not I mock God, when I pretended to crave a blessing, and return thanks? |
A26695 | Did not I ra ● hly make, nor falsly break some promise? |
A26695 | Did not I sit down with no higher end than a beast, meerly to please my Appetite? |
A26695 | Did not he make thee for himself? |
A26695 | Do I live in nothing that I know or fear to be a sin? |
A26695 | Do I speak to the trees or rocks, or to men? |
A26695 | Do not even the Publicans love those that love them? |
A26695 | Do not thine own Cloaths abhor thee? |
A26695 | Do not thy tears bedew the paper, and thy heart throb in thy bosom? |
A26695 | Do not you see how Satan gulls you, by t ● mpting you to delays? |
A26695 | Do you not think their condemnation will be doubly dreadful, that shall still go on in their sins, after all endeavours to recall them? |
A26695 | Do you say the condition is impossible, for I have not wherewith to buy? |
A26695 | Dost not thou find him a stranger to prayer, a neglecter of the word, a lover of this present world? |
A26695 | Dost not thou find his heart fermented with malice, or burning with lust, or going after his covetousness? |
A26695 | Dost not thou often catch him in a lie? |
A26695 | Dost thou believe their truth, or not? |
A26695 | Dost thou hear the creation groaning under thee, and hell groaning for thee, and yet think thy case good enough? |
A26695 | Dost thou live in stri ● ● or envy, or malice? |
A26695 | Dost thou live in the ordinary and wilful practice of any known sin? |
A26695 | Dost thou not take more real delight and content in the world, than in him? |
A26695 | Dost thou not yet begin to smite on thy breast, and bethink thy self what need thou hast of a change? |
A26695 | Dost thou not yet see a change to be needful? |
A26695 | Dost thou say to Christ, as he to us, Thy Father shall be my Father, and thy God my God? |
A26695 | Dost thou say, Yea but my mind is blinded, and my heart is hardened from his fear? |
A26695 | Dost thou say,''T is good to be here? |
A26695 | Doth Satan put in, doth the World court thee? |
A26695 | Doth he allow himself in any way of sin, or doth he not? |

A26695 | against whom make you a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? |
A26695 | and stark sick of sin, they will not come to Christ in his way for ease and cure, nor to purpose enquire, What shall we do? |
A26695 | and wilt thou not go to the same door, and wait upon God in the same course? |

A26695 | doth not Conscience lead thee to thy Shop, thy Trade, and tell thee of some mystery of iniquity there? |
A26695 | for Christ, Grace, Pardon, that thou mayst be justified, sanctified, renewed and fitted to serve him? |
A26695 | for by this you have been converted: O ye sinners, how should you ply the Word? |
A26695 | go into the gardens of pleasure, and gather all the fragrant flowers from thence; would these content thee? |
A26695 | how do you pray with all prayer and supplication, if you do not with family Prayer? |
A26695 | how frequently have I made suit to you? |
A26695 | how instant have I been with you? |
A26695 | how long will you halt between two opinions? |
A26695 | how long will you linger in Sodom? |
A26695 | how long will you stick between the womb and the world? |

A26695 | is life and death at thy choice? |
A26695 | not enter into Paradise, when the flaming sword, that was once set to keep you out, is now used to drive you in? |
A26695 | not moved yet? |
A26695 | not yet resolved to turn forthwith, and to close with mercy? |
A26695 | one after another by the scores in cold blood? |
A26695 | or dally with devouring wrath, as if you were at a point of indifferency, whether you did escape it, or endure it? |
A26695 | or declaim to the Mountains, and think to move them with arguments? |
A26695 | or the brightness of the glory of his holiness be blemished for thee? |
A26695 | or to lodge the swine with his children? |
A26695 | quando satiabor de pulchritudine tua? |
A26695 | shall I burn the brimstone of hell at his nostrils? |
A26695 | shall I leave you as I found you at last? |
A26695 | that thou savourest nothing but gratifying the sense, and making provision for the flesh? |
A26695 | that you are of the visible Church? |
A26695 | that you bear his name? |
A26695 | that you have knowledge in the Points of Religion? |
A26695 | that your servants should bless you? |
A26695 | they are infinitely above our thoughts, higher than heaven, what can we do? |
A26695 | thou givest them mediclnes, and cherishest them when they be sick, and dost thou not as much for thy swine? |
A26695 | thou providest meat and drink for them, agreeable to their natures, and dost thou not the same for thy beasts? |
A26695 | to my rod? |
A26695 | to my word? |
A26695 | to the tombs and monuments of the dead, or to a living auditory? |
A26695 | what a Hell of sin is in this heart of mine, which I have flattered my self to be a good heart? |
A26695 | what do they espy in thee? |
A26695 | what dost thou do for thy children, and servants? |
A26695 | what duty have I omitted? |
A26695 | what is it, that you have to plead for your selves? |
A26695 | when shall it once be? |
A26695 | when was the time, where was the place, or what was the means, by which this thorough change of the new birth was wrought in his Soul? |
A26695 | where is the place, yea where is the house almost, where these do not dwell? |
A26695 | where will you leave your glory? |
A26695 | wherewith shall I win them? |
A26695 | whither will you flee for help? |
A26695 | who will say unto him, What dost thou? |
A26695 | will no body be perswaded? |
A26695 | will you court the harlot, will you seek and serve the world, and neglect the eternal glory? |
A26695 | will you not be made clean? |
A26695 | will you play at the hole of the Asp? |
A26695 | will you put your hand upon the Cockat ● ice''s den? |
A26695 | wilt thou do no more for immortal souls than thou wilt do for thy beasts that perish? |
A26695 | would I stick at the pains? |
A26695 | would you plant nurseries for the Church of God? |
A26695 | would you remove the incumbent, or prevent the impending calamities? |
A26695 | would you that God should build your houses, and bless your substance? |
A26695 | would you that your children should bless you? |
A26695 | you more hardned than they? |
A26701 | & c. And art thou a fit match for such an antagonist? |
A26701 | & c. quando te videbo? |
A26701 | ''T is too common and easie, to mistake education for grace; but if this were enough, who a better man than Iehoasb? |
A26701 | ( Why, thou knowest not but it may be the next night, yea the next moment) where wouldst thou be then? |
A26701 | 12. or the lifeless carcase to feel and move? |
A26701 | 12. who better perswaded of his case, than Paul, while yet he remained unconverted? |
A26701 | 13. and yet will you not hearken? |
A26701 | 13. how miserable would he think it, to be held to it to all eternity? |
A26701 | 13. or the Paradise of God, be the better choice? |
A26701 | 14, 15. who thirst for your salvation? |
A26701 | 14. and dost thou not yet think with thy self, surely it was for some noble and raised end? |
A26701 | 17. and do you thus requite them, O foolish and unwise? |
A26701 | 18. and wilt thou not yet believe, O sinner, that he is in earnest? |
A26701 | 19. and profess they know God, but in works deny him? |
A26701 | 19. why then, what hinders but that thou shouldest be happy? |
A26701 | 21. and will it not be dearly bought? |
A26701 | 22. and make thee to lie down in sorrows? |
A26701 | 23. dost thou yet think it but a small thing? |
A26701 | 24. and give all diligence to make our calling and election sure? |
A26701 | 24. what shall be done with thee, when thou fallest into the hands of the living God? |
A26701 | 3, 5, 6. and that is not converted, and begins not the world as it were anew, in a teachable, tractable newness of life, like a little child? |
A26701 | 3, 7. shall we think God will? |
A26701 | 3. and yet do you wonder, why your Ministers do so painfully travel in birth with you? |
A26701 | 4. and a lover of this World above him? |
A26701 | 4. as though the strength of Israel would lie? |
A26701 | 4. or for the potsherd of the earth to strive with his maker? |
A26701 | 6, 7. and, yet will you not come? |
A26701 | 7, 8. where were the glory of Divine Justice, since it should be given to the wicked, according to the work of the righteous? |
A26701 | 7. Who is that God, that shall deliver you out of his hands? |
A26701 | 7. and what can be said more? |
A26701 | 7. by thy unfruitfulness? |
A26701 | 7. shall not such much more expect it from Christs holiness? |
A26701 | 8. and hope that the savour of Christs ointments, and the smell of his garments will attract him? |
A26701 | 8. as if thou wert but going to wash thee or swim for thy recreation? |
A26701 | 9. or to harden your selves against his word? |
A26701 | Against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted your eyes on high? |
A26701 | Alas, if the poor man think a Sermon long, and say of a Sabbath, What a weariness is it? |
A26701 | Alas, what shall I say? |
A26701 | Alas, what will thy sins do for thee, that thou shouldst stick at parting with them? |
A26701 | And art not thou fairly offered? |
A26701 | And 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? |
A26701 | And doth not thy soul tremble as thou readest? |
A26701 | And have I toyled all this while and caught nothing? |
A26701 | And have they sped so well, and wilt thou not go to the same door, and wait upon God in the same course? |
A26701 | And how shall I tell men, that which I do not know? |
A26701 | And if Conversion and holiness be a needless thing, what use they themselves are of? |
A26701 | And is it true indeed? |
A26701 | And is it true indeed? |
A26701 | And is this an unreasonable request? |
A26701 | And is this, that we have described, the Conversion that is of absolute necessity to salvation? |
A26701 | And shall not the most Holy God more difference between the righteous and the wicked? |
A26701 | And shall that do it? |
A26701 | And shew kindness to them that are kind to them? |
A26701 | And should we not desire the same for you? |
A26701 | And spend all your days in pampering your guts, and providing for your flesh that must lie rotting very shortly in a Grave? |
A26701 | And the drunkard still at his vomit? |
A26701 | And there came one, and kneeled to him, and asked him; Good Master, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life? |
A26701 | And thou dost not know, but the next night, thou maist make thy bed in hell? |
A26701 | And were it not better thou shouldst be a joy to Angels, than a laughing- stock and sport for devils? |
A26701 | And what is it that the creation groaneth for? |
A26701 | And what were these Pharisees? |
A26701 | And whether Christ save that soul that is not converted by him and saved from his sins? |
A26701 | And whether God will like men the better for lying and calling themselves Christians when they are none indeed? |
A26701 | And whether all or most men perform this vow? |
A26701 | And whether if you live after the flesh you shall not die, and be condemned? |
A26701 | And whether it be but the conceit of Hypocrites and Schismaticks, that their Carcases must be rotting in a dark- some Grave? |
A26701 | And whether seeking to abuse God by a Mock Religion, do make such false Christians better than the poor Heathens and Infidels, or much worse? |
A26701 | And 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? |
A26701 | And whither else shouldst thou go? |
A26701 | And why may not men be twice born in nature, as well as in grace? |
A26701 | And will God receive these for true converts, because turned to the Christian Religion? |
A26701 | And wilt thou run upon destruction, when God himself doth forwarn thee? |
A26701 | And wilt thou yet be in love with thy self, and tell us any longer of thy good heart? |
A26701 | And wilt thou yet believe thine own presumptuous confidence, directly against Christs word? |
A26701 | And yet wilt thou not give up such a blasphemous hope? |
A26701 | Are there not many that name the name of the Lord Jesus, that yet depart not from iniquity? |
A26701 | Are these out of the reach of humane power? |
A26701 | Are you agreed, that Chrst shall end the controversie? |
A26701 | Are you at peace? |
A26701 | Arise then, what meanest thou O sleeper? |
A26701 | Art not thou almost struck dead with the hellish damp? |
A26701 | Art not thou one of them? |
A26701 | Art thou a Convert, or art thou yet in thy Sins? |
A26701 | Art thou a man, and hast thou reason? |
A26701 | Art 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? |
A26701 | Art 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? |
A26701 | Art thou deliberately, understandingly, freely, fixedly, determined to cleave to him in all times, and conditions? |
A26701 | Art thou in league with Hell? |
A26701 | Art thou in love with thy misery? |
A26701 | Art thou like the horse, that paweth in the valley, and rejoyceth in his strength: he goeth out to meet the armed men? |
A26701 | Art thou made without fear, and contemnest his barbed irons? |
A26701 | Art thou now become a slave to sense, a servant to so base an Idol, as thy belly? |
A26701 | Art thou such a Leviathan, as that the scales of thy pride should keep thee from thy makers coming at thee? |
A26701 | Art thou turned into flesh, that thou favourest nothing but gratifying the sense, and making provision for the flesh? |
A26701 | Art thou willing to come in? |
A26701 | Art thou yet in ignorance, and not turned from darkness to light? |
A26701 | Ask them whether God should not be loved with all our heart, and soul, and might? |
A26701 | Ask them whether Kings and all men make not a great difference between man and man; the loyal and perfidious, the obedient and the disobedient? |
A26701 | Ask them whether any man have a Treasure in Heaven, whose heart is not there? |
A26701 | Ask them whether man have not an Immortal Soul, and a longer life to live when this is ended? |
A26701 | Ask them whether the name of a Christian will save any of these ungodly persons? |
A26701 | Ask them whether there be a Heaven and a Hell, or not? |
A26701 | Ask them whether they mean, Holy Adulterers, holy worldlings, holy perjured persons? |
A26701 | Ask them whether they say not themselves that Hypocrisie is a great aggravation of all other sin? |
A26701 | Ask them whether they will live on Earth for ever, and their merry hours, and Lordly looks will have no end? |
A26701 | Ask them why it was that Christ came into the World? |
A26701 | Augustine could not relish his before so much admired Cicero, because he could not find the name of Christ, How pathetically cries he? |
A26701 | Awake, O conscience: What meanest thou, O sleeper? |
A26701 | Be willing to know thy self, and to know the worst of thy case? |
A26701 | Before, the news of a Christ was a stale and sapless thing: but now how sweet is a Christ? |
A26701 | Behold Gods workmanship in thy body, and ask thy self, to what end did God rear this fabrick? |
A26701 | Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him? |
A26701 | Believest thou this? |
A26701 | But doth not thy heart condemn thee, and tell thee, there is such a sin thou livest in against thy Conscience? |
A26701 | But here the terms are most honourable and easie: O sinner, wilt thou burn with thy pardon by? |
A26701 | But how close doth this sin lurk oft- times under a fair covert of forward profession? |
A26701 | But how shall this be effected? |
A26701 | But if poor soul, thou art fully convinced, and askest, What should I do to be Converted? |
A26701 | But if these be short of Conversion, what shall I say of the prophane sinner? |
A26701 | But if they are deaed in every point save carnal interests, ask them why they are Preachers or Priests? |
A26701 | But 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? |
A26701 | But thy Conversion is necessary, thy damnation lies upon it, and is it not needful in so important a case to look about? |
A26701 | But to what purpose is it then like to be, for the Servant of God to treat with thee about this matter? |
A26701 | But what is it that the creation groaneth under? |
A26701 | But whence shall I fetch my arguments, or how shall I choose my words? |
A26701 | But would you not have me solicitous for you? |
A26701 | By this time methinks I hear my reader crying out with the Disciples, who then shall be saved? |
A26701 | Can Kings, or Warriours? |
A26701 | Can Mammon? |

A26701 | Canst thou escape his hands, or endure his vengeance? |
A26701 | Canst thou hope he will be forsworn for thee? |
A26701 | Canst thou think without loathing of thy trough and draugh? |
A26701 | Cast 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? |
A26701 | Conscience wilt thou altogether hold thy peace at such a time as this? |
A26701 | Consider how the Lord hath revealed himself to you in his word: will you take him as such a God? |
A26701 | Consider the noble faculties of thy Heaven- born soul: to what end did God bestow these excellencies? |
A26701 | Couldst thou cherish it and take delight in it? |
A26701 | Couldst thou take up a toad into thy bosom? |
A26701 | Darest thou make light of this? |
A26701 | Do I speak to the trees or rocks, or to men? |
A26701 | Do not even the Publicans love those that love them? |
A26701 | Do not thine own cloaths abhor thee? |
A26701 | Do not thy tears bedew the paper, and thy heart throb in thy bosom? |
A26701 | Do not you see how Satan gulls you, by tempting you to delays? |
A26701 | Do we not know the way of Ease and Honour; of Wealth and Pleasures, as well as others? |
A26701 | Do you say, the condition is impossible, for I have not wherewith to buy? |
A26701 | Dost not thou find him a stranger to prayer, a neglecter of the word, a lover of this present world? |
A26701 | Dost not thou find his heart fermented with malice, or burning with lust, or going after his covetousness? |
A26701 | Dost not thou often catch him in a lie? |
A26701 | Dost thou believe their truth, or not? |

A26701 | Dost thou know thine own face when thou seest it? |
A26701 | Dost thou live in strife, or envy, or malice? |
A26701 | Dost thou live in the ordinary and wilful practice of any known sin? |
A26701 | Dost thou mock at fear and art not affrighted, neither turnest back from Gods sword? |
A26701 | Dost thou not take more real delight and content in the world, than in him? |
A26701 | Dost thou not yet begin to smite on thy breast, and bethink thy self what need thou hast of a change? |
A26701 | Dost thou not yet see a change to be needful? |
A26701 | Dost thou say, yea but my mind is blinded and my heart is hardned from his fear? |
A26701 | Doth Satan put in, doth the World court thee, doth sin sue for thy heart? |
A26701 | Doth he allow himself in any way of sin, or doth he not? |
A26701 | Doth he not keep the keys of Heaven? |
A26701 | Doth he set thee on the use of means, and dost thou think he will mock thee? |
A26701 | Doth he truly love, and please, and prize and delight in God above all other things, or not? |
A26701 | Doth it not begin to bite? |
A26701 | Doth 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? |
A26701 | Doth it not tell thee, there is such and such a secret way of wickedness, that thou makest no bones of? |
A26701 | Doth it not twitch thee as thou goest? |
A26701 | Doth not conscience carry thee to thy closet, and tell thee how seldom prayer, and reading is performed there? |
A26701 | Doth not conscience lead thee to thy shop, thy trade, and tell thee of some mistery of iniquity there? |
A26701 | Doth not the Holy State of Heaven require Holiness in all that shall possess it? |
A26701 | Doth not this neerly concern thee? |
A26701 | Doth this suit thee best, and please thee most? |
A26701 | Doth thy mouth water after the onions and flesh- pots of Egypt? |
A26701 | Enter into thy Closet, and consider, what evil have I lived in? |
A26701 | Filth and rottenness, with glory and immortality? |
A26701 | For the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand? |
A26701 | God himself will not save you without you; and how should we? |
A26701 | God is frowning on me from above? |
A26701 | Hast not thou taken upon him the gains of unrighteousness? |
A26701 | Hast thou experienced this? |
A26701 | Hast thou made a Covenant with death? |
A26701 | Hast 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? |
A26701 | Hast thou not felt thy heart warmed by the word, and been almost perswaded to leave off thy sins, and come in to God? |
A26701 | Hast thou not only lost all regard to God, but art without any love and pity to thy self? |

A26701 | Hast thou searched the book within, to see if these things be so? |
A26701 | Hast thou taken God for thy happiness? |
A26701 | Hath the man been ever taken off from his false bottom, from the false hopes, and false peace wherein once he trusted? |
A26701 | Have I been all this while speaking in the wind? |
A26701 | Have I been charming the deaf adder, or allaying the tumbling Ocean with arguments? |
A26701 | Have I run in vain? |

A26701 | He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered? |
A26701 | He 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? |
A26701 | Hear O ye drunkards, How long will you be drunken? |

A26701 | I deal much upon trust, will you be content to labour, and suffer, and to tarry for your returns till the Resurrection of the just? |
A26701 | I pray ask these men, whether it be a Puritan or Fanatick Opinion that men must dye? |
A26701 | I will try thee yet once again: If one were sent to thee from the dead, wouldst thou be perswaded? |
A26701 | I would reason with you, as God with them; How canst thou say I am not polluted? |

A26701 | Let your conscience speak; what is it, that you have to plead for your selves? |
A26701 | Look backward, where was ever the place, what was ever the time, in which thou didst not sin? |
A26701 | Look in now and tell me: dost thou yet believe? |
A26701 | Look inward, what part or power canst thou find in soul or body, but it is poisoned with sin? |

A26701 | Or whether it be the dead Image only of a Crucified Jesus, that is all their Saviour, while they will have no more of him? |
A26701 | Or who shall descend into the deep to bring up Christ from beneath? |
A26701 | Perverse sinner, wilt thou begin where thou shouldest end? |
A26701 | READER, HOW well were it if there were no more Unconverted ones among us, than those to whom this is directed? |
A26701 | Reader doth nothing of this touch thee? |
A26701 | Reader, dost thou view this and never ask thy self, whether it be thus with thee? |
A26701 | Reader, hath conscience been at work, while thou hast been looking over these lines? |
A26701 | Reader, is this the language of thy soul? |

A26701 | Sh ● ll I go on in my sinful ways? |
A26701 | Shall Christ put out the eye of his Fathers Omnisciency, or shorten the arm of his eternal power for thee? |
A26701 | Shall Hell be your own choice? |
A26701 | Shall I allure him with the joyful sound, and the lovely song and glad- tidings of the Gospel? |

A26701 | Shall I invite the dead to arise and eat the banquet of their funerals? |
A26701 | Shall I leave you at last no farther than Agrippa, but almost perswaded? |
A26701 | Shall I set before him the feast of fat things, the wine of wisdom, the bread of God, the tree of life, the hidden Manna? |
A26701 | Shall divine justice be violated for thee? |
A26701 | Shall it be still neglect, and unthankful contempt, and turning away your ear and heart, and saying, we have somewhat else to mind? |
A26701 | Shall not a companion of fools much more be destroyed? |
A26701 | Shall the Laws of Heaven be reversed for thee? |

A26701 | Sinner, wilt thou not yet give up thy vain hope of being saved in this condition? |
A26701 | Sinners what will you do in the day of your visitation? |
A26701 | So I may say to thee: see, here is Christ, here is mercy, pardon, life, what hinders but that thou shouldst be pardoned, and saved? |

A26701 | Speak plainly to all the forementioned particulars: canst thou acquit this man, this woman, from being any of the two and twenty sorts here described? |
A26701 | Such or such a duty, that thou makest no conscience of? |
A26701 | Surely 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? |
A26701 | Tell me whither art thou going? |
A26701 | The Lord hath spoken it, and who shall reverse it? |
A26701 | The thunder of his power who can understand? |
A26701 | The view of his sins, the sight of a Christ crucified, that would scarce stir him before, now how much do they affect his heart? |
A26701 | The womb of my Promise will not presently bring forth; will you have the patience to wait? |
A26701 | These are the Instruments that God useth to convert and save you: and do you spit in the face of your Physicians, and throw your Pilots overboard? |
A26701 | They were the Masters of the Iewish Church? |
A26701 | This was the converts voice; The Lord is my portion saith my soul Whom have I in Heaven but thee? |
A26701 | Thou art even crushed, and ready to wish thy self dead, under the weight of his finger: how then wilt thou bear the Weight of his loyns? |
A26701 | Thou canst not bear Gods whip: how then wilt thou endure his scorpions? |
A26701 | Thou maist pray, but what hope is there in thy praying? |
A26701 | Thou pretendest for Christ; but doth not the world sway thee? |
A26701 | Thou, even thou, art to be feared; and who shall stand in thy sight, when ● ● ce thou art angry? |
A26701 | Thy food would say, Lord, must I nourish such a wretch as this, and yield forth my strength for him, to dishonour thee withal? |

A26701 | Touch his Scepter, and live: why will you die? |

A26682 | And whether if you live after the flesh you shall not die, and be condemned? |
A26682 | And whether it be but the conceit of Hypocrites and Schismaticks, that their Carcases must lie rotting in a darksome grave? |
A26682 | And whether seeking to abuse God by a mock- religion do make such false Christians better than the poor Heathens and Infidels, or much worse? |
A26682 | And 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? |
A26682 | And whither else shouldst thou go? |
A26682 | And why may not men be twice born in nature, as well as in grace? |
A26682 | And will God receive these for true converts, because turned to the Christian religion? |
A26682 | And will you not, I say will you not be saved? |
A26682 | And wilt thou not yet believe, O sinner, that he is in earnest? |
A26682 | And wilt thou run upon destruction, when God himself doth forewarn thee? |
A26682 | And wilt thou yet be in love with thy self, and tell us any longer of thy good heart? |
A26682 | And wilt thou yet believe thine own presumptuous confidence, directly against Christs word? |
A26682 | And yet wilt thou not give up such a blasphemous hope? |
A26682 | Are not these out of the reach of humane power? |
A26682 | Are there not many that name the name of the Lord Jesus, that yet depart not from iniquity? |
A26682 | Are you agreed, that Christ shall end the controversie? |
A26682 | Are you at peace? |
A26682 | Arise then, what meanest thou O sleeper? |
A26682 | Art not thou almost struck dead with the hellish damp? |
A26682 | Art not thou one of them? |
A26682 | Art thou a Convert, or art thou not yet in thy sins? |
A26682 | Art thou a man, and hast thou reason? |
A26682 | Art 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? |
A26682 | Art 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? |
A26682 | Art thou deliberately, understandingly, freely, fixedly detetermined to cleave to him in all times, and conditions? |
A26682 | Art thou in league with Hell? |
A26682 | Art thou in love with thy misery? |
A26682 | Art thou like the horse, that paweth in the valley, and rejoyceth in his strength: he goeth out to meet the armed men? |
A26682 | Art thou made without fear, and contemnest his barbed irons? |
A26682 | Art thou now become a slave to sense, a servant to so base an idol, as thy belly? |
A26682 | Art thou such a Leviathan, as that the scales of thy pride should keep thee from thy makers coming at thee? |
A26682 | Art thou turned into flesh, that thou savourest nothing but gratifying the sense, and making provision for the flesh? |
A26682 | Art thou willing to come in? |
A26682 | Art thou yet in ignorance, and not turned from darkness to light? |
A26682 | Ask them wether they say not themselves that Hypocrisie is a great aggravation of all other sin? |
A26682 | Ask them whether God should not be loved with all our heart and soul and might? |
A26682 | Ask them whether any man have a treasure in Heaven, whose heart is not there? |
A26682 | Ask them whether man have not an Immortal soul, and a longer life to live when this is ended? |
A26682 | Ask them whether the name of a Christian will save any one of these ungodly persons? |
A26682 | Ask them whether there be a Heaven, and a Hell, or not? |
A26682 | Ask them whether they mean Holy Adulterers, holy worldlings, holy perjured persons? |
A26682 | Ask them whether they will live on Earth for ever, and their merry hours, and Lordly looks will have no end? |
A26682 | Ask them whether without Holiness any shall see God? |
A26682 | Ask them why it was that Christ came into the world? |
A26682 | Awake O conscience: What mean ● st thou, O sleeper? |
A26682 | Before, the news of a Christ was a stale and sapless thing: but now, how sweet is a Christ? |
A26682 | Behold Gods workmanship in thy body, and ask thy self; To what end did God rear this fabrick? |
A26682 | Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him? |
A26682 | Believest thou this? |
A26682 | But doth not thy heart condemn thee? |
A26682 | But here the terms are most honourable and easie: Oh sinner, wilt thou burn with thy pardon by? |
A26682 | But how close doth this sin lurk oft- times, under a fair covert of forward profession? |
A26682 | But how shall this be effected? |
A26682 | But if it be the very word of God, that all this misery lies upon thee, what a case art thou in? |
A26682 | But if poor soul, thou art fully convinced, and askest, What should I do to be converted? |
A26682 | But if these be short of Conversion, what shall I say of the prophane sinner? |
A26682 | But if they are dead in every point save carnal interests, ask them why they are Preachers or Priests? |
A26682 | But 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? |
A26682 | But thy Conversion is necessary, thy damnation lies upon it, and is it not needful in so important a case to look about? |
A26682 | But to what purpose is it then like to be, for the servant of God to treat with thee about this matter? |
A26682 | But what is it that the creation groaneth under? |
A26682 | But whence shall I fetch my arguments, or how shall I choose my words? |
A26682 | But would you not have me sollicitous for you, when I see you ready to perish? |
A26682 | By this time methinks I hear my reader crying out with the Disciples, who then shall be saved? |
A26682 | Can Kings, or warriours? |
A26682 | Can Mammon? |
A26682 | Can 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? |
A26682 | Can any man be in jest with you who believeth God? |
A26682 | Can any other but Christ save thee? |
A26682 | Can the liveless carcase shake off his grave- cloths, and loose the bonds of death? |
A26682 | Can the world in good earnest do that for you, that Christ can? |
A26682 | Can thine heart indure, or can thine hands be strong, in the day that I shall deal with thee, saith the Lord of hosts? |
A26682 | Can you evidence that you have something more than any Hypocrite in the world ever had? |
A26682 | Can you shew the distinguishing marks of a sound believer? |
A26682 | Canst thou abide the consuming fire? |
A26682 | Canst thou be content to burn? |
A26682 | Canst thou charm thy beast with musick? |
A26682 | Canst thou do well without his favour? |
A26682 | Canst thou dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A26682 | Canst thou escape his hands, or endure his vengeance? |
A26682 | Canst thou hope he will be forsworn for thee? |
A26682 | Canst thou think of that threat without trembling, Ye shall die in your sins? |
A26682 | Canst thou think without loathing of thy trow and draugh? |
A26682 | Cast 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? |
A26682 | Conscience, wilt thou altogether hold thy peace at such a time as this? |
A26682 | Consider how the Lord hath revealed himself to you in his word: will you take him as such a God? |
A26682 | Consider the noble faculties of thy Heaven- born soul: to what end did God bestow these excellencies? |
A26682 | Couldst thou cherish it and take delight in it? |
A26682 | Couldst thou take up a toad into thy bosom? |
A26682 | Darest thou make light of this? |
A26682 | Dearly beloved, would you rejoice the heart of your Ministers? |
A26682 | Did not he make thee for himself? |
A26682 | Do I speak to the trees or rocks, or to men? |
A26682 | Do not even the Publicans love those that love them? |
A26682 | Do not thine own cloths abhor thee? |
A26682 | Do not thy tears bedew the paper, and thy heart throb in thy bosom? |
A26682 | Do not you see how Satan gulls you, by tempting you to delays? |
A26682 | Do we not know the way of Ease and Honour, of Wealth and Pleasures as well as others? |
A26682 | Do you say, The condition is impossible, for I have not wherewith to buy? |
A26682 | Dost not thou find him a stranger to prayer, a neglecter of the word, a lover of this present world? |
A26682 | Dost not thou find his heart fermented with malice, or burning with lust, or going after his covetousness? |
A26682 | Dost not thou often catch him in a lie? |
A26682 | Dost thou believe their truth, or not? |
A26682 | Dost thou hear the creation groaning under thee, and Hell groaning for thee, and yet think thy case good enough? |
A26682 | Dost thou know thine own face when thou seest it? |
A26682 | Dost thou laugh at Hell and destruction, or canst drink the envenomed cup of the Almighties fury, as if it were but a common potion? |
A26682 | Dost thou live in strife, or envy, or malice? |
A26682 | Dost thou live in the ordinary and wilful practice of any known sin? |
A26682 | Dost thou m ● ● k at fear and art not affrighted, neither turnest back from Gods sword? |
A26682 | Dost thou not take more real delight and content in the world, than in him? |
A26682 | Dost thou not yet begin to smite on thy breast, and bethink thy self, what need thou hast of a change? |
A26682 | Dost thou not yet see a change to be needful? |
A26682 | Dost thou say, yea but my mind is blinded and my heart hardened from his fear? |
A26682 | Dost thou say,''T is good to be here? |
A26682 | Dost thou yet think it but a small thing? |
A26682 | Doth Satan put in, doth the world court thee, doth sin sue for thy heart? |
A26682 | Doth he allow himself in any way of sin, or doth he not? |
A26682 | Doth he set thee on the use of means, and dost thou think he will mock thee? |
A26682 | Doth he truly love, and please, and prize and delight in God above all other things, or not? |
A26682 | Doth it not begin to bite? |
A26682 | Doth 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? |
A26682 | Doth it not tell thee, there is such and such a secret way of wickedness, that thou makest no bones of? |
A26682 | Doth it not twitch thee, as thou goest? |
A26682 | Doth not conscience carry thee to thy closet, and tell thee how seldom prayer, and reading is performed there? |
A26682 | Doth not conscience lead thee to thy shop, thy trade, and tell thee of some mystery of iniquity there? |
A26682 | Doth not he keep the keys of Heaven? |
A26682 | Doth not the Holy State of Heaven require Holiness in all that shall possess it? |
A26682 | Doth not this nearly concern thee? |
A26682 | Doth this suit thee best, and please thee most? |
A26682 | Doth thy mouth water after the Onions and Flesh- pots of Egypt? |
A26682 | Enter into thy closet, and consider, What evil have I lived in? |
A26682 | Filth and rottenness, with glory and immortality? |
A26682 | For the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand? |
A26682 | Go into the gardens of pleasure, and gather all the fragrant flowers from thence: would these content thee? |
A26682 | God himself will not save you without you; and how should we? |
A26682 | Hast not thou taken upon him the gains of unrighteousness? |
A26682 | Hast thou experienced this? |
A26682 | Hast 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? |
A26682 | Hast thou not felt thy heart warmed by the word, and been almost perswaded to leave off thy sins, and come in to God? |
A26682 | Hast thou not only lost all regard to God, but art without any love and pity to thy self? |
A26682 | Hast thou pondered these things in thine heart? |
A26682 | Hast thou searched the book within, to see if these things be so? |
A26682 | Hast thou taken God for thy happiness? |
A26682 | Hath the man been ever taken off from his false bottom, from the false hopes, and false peace wherein once he trusted? |
A26682 | Hath there passed a through and mighty change upon him, or not? |
A26682 | Have I been all this while speaking in the wind? |
A26682 | Have I been charming the deaf adder, or allaying the tumbling Ocean with arguments? |
A26682 | Have I run in vain? |

A26682 | He 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? |
A26682 | He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered? |
A26682 | He 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? |
A26682 | He 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? |
A26682 | Hear O ye Drunkards, how long will ye be drunken? |
A26682 | Hear what the Lord saith; Fear ye not me saith the Lord? |
A26682 | Hear ● st thou the curses, and the blasphemies, the weepings and the wailings, how they lament their folly, and curse their day? |
A26682 | Here I will pitch; here I will live and die? |
A26682 | Heu miser, quid sum? |

A26682 | How affectionately doth Peter lift up his hands? |
A26682 | How black are those fiends? |
A26682 | How blameless was Paul? |

A26682 | I pray ask these men, whether it be a Puritane or Phanatick opinion that men must dye? |
A26682 | I would reason with you, as God with them; How canst thou say I am not polluted? |
A26682 | IT may be you are ready to say, what meaneth this stir? |

A26682 | Is it good for thee to be here? |
A26682 | Is it good for thee to try whether God will be so good as his word? |
A26682 | Is it not a dreadful case, to have the Gospel it self fill its mouth with threats, and thunder, and damnation? |

A26682 | Know you not, that the 〈 ◊ 〉 us shall not inerit the Kingdom of God? |
A26682 | Leave 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? |
A26682 | Let me say to thee as Paul to Agrippa, Believest thou the Prophets? |
A26682 | Let 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? |
A26682 | Let your consciences speak; What is it, that you have to plead for your selves? |
A26682 | Look backward, where was ever the place, what was ever the time, in which thou didst not sin? |
A26682 | Look in now, and tell me: dost thou yet believe? |
A26682 | Look inward, what part or power canst thou find in soul or body, but it is poisoned with sin? |
A26682 | Lord, how universally am I corrupted, in all my parts, powers, performances? |
A26682 | Lord, wherewith shall I wooe them? |
A26682 | Man, doth not thine heart tremble to think of thy being an object of Gods hatred? |
A26682 | Man, is not thy conscience privy to thy tricks of deceit, to thy chamber pranks, to thy way of lying? |
A26682 | Man, is this thy case? |
A26682 | May a man be civilized and not converted, where then shall the Drunkard, and Glutton appear? |
A26682 | May a man be true and just in his dealings, and yet not be justified of God? |
A26682 | May a man keep company with the wise Virgins, and yet be shut out? |
A26682 | May not I much more reason so with thee? |
A26682 | May not we bring you to some sober thoughts of your condition, nor one hour seriously to think whither you are going? |
A26682 | Methinks I should hear thee crying out astonished, with the Bethshemites, Who shall stand before this holy Lord God? |
A26682 | Must I leave the malicious still in his venome? |
A26682 | Must I leave the tipler still at the ale- bench? |
A26682 | Must I leave the wanton still at his dalliance? |
A26682 | Must I leave you at last where you were? |
A26682 | Must they perish at last by the hundreds, when Ministers would so fain save them? |
A26682 | No one driveth or forceth them to Hell: and will they go thither of themselves? |
A26682 | No way to acquaint them what is become of their brother, and where Lazarus is, and whither they themselves are going? |
A26682 | Nor one heart- raising thought of the everlasting Glory? |
A26682 | Not one heart- piercing thought of all your Saviours love, nor one tear for all your sinful lives? |
A26682 | Now all the cry is, What shall I do to be saved? |
A26682 | Now beloved, what say you to this? |
A26682 | Now if Christ, yet, bring any to Heaven unconverted, either he must get them in without his fathers knowledge, and then where is his Omnisciency? |
A26682 | Now saies the soul, Lord, whither should I go? |
A26682 | Now what cleanly nature could endure, to have the filthy swine bed and board with him in his parlour, or bed chamber? |
A26682 | Now what dost thou say to this? |
A26682 | Now, would it stand with wisdom, to force pardon and life, upon them that would give him no thanks for them? |
A26682 | O Jerusale ●, wilt thou not be made clean? |
A26682 | O fools, and slow of heart to believe, will ye court the harlot, will you seek and serve the world, and neglect the eternal glory? |
A26682 | O man what wilt thou do? |
A26682 | O man, art thou able to make thy party good against thy maker? |
A26682 | O man, how canst thou make so light of sin? |
A26682 | O sinner, tell me, what shift dost thou make to think of all the threatnings of Gods word, that stand upon record against thee? |
A26682 | O sinner, why should the devils make merry with thee? |
A26682 | O 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? |
A26682 | O ye Saints, how should you love the word? |
A26682 | O ye sinners, how should you ply the word? |
A26682 | Oh how dreadfully doth it thunder? |
A26682 | Oh 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? |
A26682 | Oh how many then will be found the real servants of the Devil ● that take themselves for no other than the children of God? |
A26682 | Oh set thine heart to think of thy case: Is not thine everlasting misery or welfare, that which doth deserve a little consideration? |
