| A61834 | But shall we call it a Sleeping or Hiding, when the Body is turn''d to the substance of the Bed, Flesh to Mold? |
| A61834 | For what think you of the Seedes sown in your Ground? |
| A61834 | How Dead? |
| A61834 | How then shall we that are Dead to Sin live any longer therein? |
| A61834 | How vaine is it, to question Gods Power in things impossible to our scant Apprehension? |
| A61834 | Is it so? |
| A61834 | Nothing springs before the due time, at the due time Man shall also: Would you have the Harvest before all the graine be sown? |
| A61834 | Now which is harder, to make a Table and the Timber too, or to joyne the parts taken a sunder? |
| A61834 | Shall not he be able to effect for us, what the Sun can doe for Flowers? |
| A61834 | Shall we borrow their names onely in time Fading, and not when they flourish? |
| A61834 | Thinkest thou, that Death drawes nearer when it is thought of, or dares not to approach unlesse it be call''d? |
| A61834 | What can we call our selves, who are changed before the word is pronounced? |
| A61834 | What though he lye long, and wast in the earth? |
| A61834 | What though the Union of parts be Actually dissolved? |
| A61834 | What? |
| A61834 | Who turned the round world, who fashioned the parts of man at first? |
| A61834 | Why is he cal''d the Foundation, the Head, the Roote, the First fruites, but in relation to Vs? |
| A61834 | Why should we so confound the Conscience with unrepented Guiltinesse, that we should need Mountaines to cover us from his Presence? |
| A61834 | Why so? |
| A61834 | Ye finde that the Dust flyeth away: are ye not made of Dust? |
| A61834 | feele and examine the Seed,''t is not rough, whence this grate of the bark? |
| A61834 | in all these? |
| A61834 | in all these? |
| A61834 | is it hid in the Bowells of the Instrument, in the prick''d or conceivd Copy, or in the hand and Power of the Musition? |
| A61834 | is it not stranger to heare that he speakes and workes, yes eates and drinkes abundantly, and yet dead? |
| A61834 | is that sowing a destruction, or onely a Hiding? |
| A61834 | it smells not, whence this fragrance in the fruit? |
| A61834 | or what is become of it? |
| A61834 | say then, doth our Creed, in this point extend to our Corne, and not to our selves? |
| A61834 | shall I tell my Hearers they are Dead? |
| A61834 | shall we forgoe this new Master who bought us with his blood, for an Old tyrannous Canniball that feedes on our destruction? |
| A61834 | some will ask, How shall the Dead rise, or with what body shall they come? |
| A61834 | that the shadow creepeth; doe not your Bodies cast a Shadow? |
| A61834 | that the winde vanisheth; is not your breath in your nostrills? |
| A61834 | then what Counsell in such a case? |
| A61834 | to create that which was not, or to new cast that which was before? |
| A61834 | was not God that Carpenter, and Christ his Sonne? |
| A61834 | who then shall heare me? |
| A50157 | Again, Was the Infant now lamented, very suddenly snatch''d away? |
| A50157 | And are these things against you? |
| A50157 | And ask, What should my future Deportment be? |
| A50157 | And then Examine thy self, Wherein have I transgressed and exceeded? |
| A50157 | Art thou Afflicted? |
| A50157 | Art thou Afflicted? |
| A50157 | Art thou Disgraced? |
| A50157 | Art thou Fearful? |
| A50157 | Art thou Pained? |
| A50157 | Art thou Poor? |
| A50157 | Ask thy felf, What have my past Behaviours been? |
| A50157 | But from whose Hands do the Afflictions of the Lords people come? |
| A50157 | But once more, Is the gone Infant an only Child? |
| A50157 | But when? |
| A50157 | But where shall I stop? |
| A50157 | Can you not sincerely say, That you have chosen God in Christ for the Best Portion, as of your selves, so of your Children? |
| A50157 | Do thy Friends deal unworthily? |
| A50157 | Do''s not thy Affliction put thee upon more Prayer than thou didst use before? |
| A50157 | Finally, Have we any Doubts about the Eternal Salvation of the Children which we have Bur ● ed out of our sight? |
| A50157 | Has any remarkable Affliction befallen thee? |
| A50157 | How do''s this Appear? |
| A50157 | How pernicious a thing it is to have too much Applause in the World? |
| A50157 | I am not without my Fears, that you are the Iaylors, Shall I say? |
| A50157 | I would seriously ask, Was not the Spirit of Prayer abated in thee before that Affliction came? |
| A50157 | If it were so, Why should not my Spirit be Troubled? |
| A50157 | Is any among you Afflicted? |
| A50157 | Is it impossible unto that God, who is wise in Counsel, and wonderful in Working? |
| A50157 | Is my complaint to Man? |
| A50157 | Now, What is the Result of all this? |
| A50157 | O what things can be for thy Good, if these are not so? |
| A50157 | Parents, Can you not sincerely say, That you have given, as your selves, so your Children, unto God in a Covenant never to be forgotten? |
| A50157 | Princes did sit and speak against me; but what was the issue of the Affliction which the Calumny and Obloquy of his Persecutors gave unto him? |
| A50157 | Say now, O Believer, Are all these things Against thee? |
| A50157 | Shall God Prick thee and Lance thee, and all thy bad Blood be still running in thy Veins? |
| A50157 | Shall God Prune thee and Cut thee, and no good Fruit be found upon thee after all? |
| A50157 | The Lord resolves to make you know more, Secondly, of his SON: What are all those Afflictions that make you groan? |
| A50157 | The loss of Children, did I say? |
| A50157 | The sweet Influences which your Afflictions are like to have upon you, who can enough describe? |
| A50157 | They of Old reflected hard, when they said, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? |
| A50157 | Thus do they that say, Can any good thing come out of Affliction? |
| A50157 | To be too well spoken of, procures that Envy, before which, Who can stand? |
| A50157 | Was the Infant whose Decease we do deplore, one that was very Pretty, one that had pretty Features, pretty Speeches, pretty Actions? |
| A50157 | We may behold the Lord ● fflicting of an Heman in his Mind; th ● Man complains, Lord, Why dost thou cast off my Soul? |
| A50157 | Well, and I pray, Why not? |
| A50157 | What are you Afflicted for? |
| A50157 | What should hinder Good from coming out of that grievous thing? |
| A50157 | What? |
| A50157 | Whence do''s this come to pass? |
| A50157 | Why so? |
| A50157 | not meerly by a Convulsion, but by Scalding, by Burning, by Drowning, by Shooting, by Stabbing, or by some unusual Harm? |
| A50157 | — Sedes ubi Fata quietas Ostendunt —[ Or in a better Dialect] Where all Tears shall be wiped from their Eyes: But where? |
| A16614 | 11. Who knoweth the power of thine anger? |
| A16614 | Alas, what is eightie yeares to eternitie? |
| A16614 | Alas, what sooner passeth away? |
| A16614 | And how is that done? |
| A16614 | And in the poorest cottage to find the greatest content? |
| A16614 | And is it not easily taken away? |
| A16614 | And is it not just so in the life of Man? |
| A16614 | And is not it so with the life of man? |
| A16614 | And why? |
| A16614 | Are there not many meanes to bring vs vnto our ends? |
| A16614 | Are they dayes, moneths, and yeares chastised? |
| A16614 | Are they greatly afflicted? |
| A16614 | Dost thou see and feele thy selfe to be mortall? |
| A16614 | Dost thou see those thou dependest vpon to be such? |
| A16614 | Dost thou thinke therefore that God that did loue thee, and that in his loue raised vp these and these meanes for thee, is mortall also and mutable? |
| A16614 | Euen as many as there are to waken vs out of sleepe? |
| A16614 | For if the Fountaine be bitter, how can the streames bee sweete? |
| A16614 | For the fourth, how many errors are we subiect to in sleepe? |
| A16614 | For why may not he that hath made vs of dust, turne vs againe vnto dust? |
| A16614 | How ordinarie a thing is it for men in the most aboundance to bee least satisfied? |
| A16614 | How then should we not thinke of our end? |
| A16614 | If God the Fountaine of all Goodnesse afflict us with evill, what hope can wee haue of God from any other? |
| A16614 | If the Almightie wound vs in his wrath, who can heale vs? |
| A16614 | Is it not the shorter, the sweeter and fuller of contents it is? |
| A16614 | Is it possible for condemned Malefactors, whilst they are going to the place of death, to forget wher- about they go? |
| A16614 | Is not the longest life short? |
| A16614 | Is therefore the hand of God vpon thee? |
| A16614 | No: Though he change and alter the meanes, and therby would haue thee to feare and tremble before him; yet doe not thou for all that despaire? |
| A16614 | Or if any shall heale one wound, shall wee not haue cause to feare two for that one? |
| A16614 | So that would we mooue the Lord to Compassion in our misery, and to graunt our requests? |
| A16614 | What is easier broken off then sleepe? |
| A16614 | What more stable then the earth that neuer remooues out of his place, nor moues in his place? |
| A16614 | What? |
| A16614 | When we see any signes of Gods displeasure in the world;( as which way almost can wee turne our eyes but we see it? |
| A16614 | Who are freer and more at libertie, and want least, then they that haue least? |

| A16614 | Whose life is longer then theirs in seeming, that liue least at ease? |
| A16614 | Whose life passeth sooner away or swifter then theirs that haue most comforts and sweetest? |
| A16614 | even the very prints of death, how his footing is in euery Towne, yea, in euery House?) |

| A07761 | Absolutely and simplie not to bee in the World, is it any paine? |
| A07761 | And how at last can wee escape? |
| A07761 | And should wee feare that which withdraweth vs from misery, or which drawes vs into our hauen? |
| A07761 | And what else I pray you is the beginning of youth, but the death of infancie? |
| A07761 | And what enimie? |
| A07761 | And what, at length, hath this poore soule attained, after so many miseries? |
| A07761 | And whence proceedeth this folly and simplicitie? |
| A07761 | Are the Greekes gone away? |
| A07761 | Are wee deliuered from externall practices? |
| A07761 | Better, saith Salomon, is the day of death, then the day of birth: and why? |
| A07761 | But at the reckonings ende, what pleasures are they? |
| A07761 | But howsoeuer it be, is hee therwith content? |
| A07761 | But in the end, what is all this contentment? |
| A07761 | By fire, by sworde, by famine, by sickenesse? |
| A07761 | Come we to ambition, which( by a greedinesse of honour) fondly holdeth occupied the greatest persons: Think we there to finde more? |
| A07761 | Did wee then feele anie paine, when as yet wee were not? |
| A07761 | Diest thou young? |
| A07761 | Dyest thou Olde? |
| A07761 | For I pray what can he feare, whose death is his hope? |
| A07761 | Growes hee? |
| A07761 | Hath hee attained it? |
| A07761 | Haue they subdued al the Kinges of the earth? |
| A07761 | Haue wee euer more resemblance of Death, then when wee sleepe? |
| A07761 | I speake but of those which are best& most precisely broght vp: Studies he? |
| A07761 | If the beginning of our being, bee the beginning of our paine, is it maruell that such be the ending? |
| A07761 | If the comming in be with teares, is it wonder that such bee the going out? |
| A07761 | If we beleeue as we speak, what is that wee feare? |
| A07761 | Must we, to find true humanitie, flie the societie of men,& hide vs in forrests among wild beasts? |
| A07761 | Nay what euill is there not in life? |
| A07761 | Nay, what can shee do with those paines we feele? |
| A07761 | Now if this be no paine, why accuse wee death of the paines our life giues vs at our departure? |
| A07761 | Now what good, I pray you, is ther in life, that wee should so much pursue it? |
| A07761 | Now, is there anie so weake minded, that if it were graunted him to liue alwayes a childe, would make account of such a life? |
| A07761 | Now, shall wee thinke those happy in this imaginate greatnesse, who themselues think themselues vnhappy? |
| A07761 | Now, what greater hel is ther, what greater torment, than enuie? |
| A07761 | Or euer more rest, then at that time? |

| A07761 | and what good is there not in death? |
| A07761 | can hee say that he is content? |

| A10914 | and if the Diuels themselues being spirits can not abide this burning, how much lesse shall corporall men doe it? |
| A10914 | and should not the Lord in equity doe the like to vs, seeing he is so often fore- told of his sodaine comming? |
| A10914 | doth euery man so as you say, or shall all that prepare not so as you prescribe, be damned? |
| A10914 | how shall they answer, there so many inditements? |

| A90278 | 1 Whether Christ in making satisfaction, underwent that Penalty that was threatned to the Offendors themselves? |
| A90278 | 2 Grant All that here is said, how doth it prove that Christ underwent not the very Penalty of the Law? |
| A90278 | 2 How comes the Sinner by Faith, if it is the Gift of God? |
| A90278 | 2 Whether the Penalty due to One, may not be undergon by Another? |
| A90278 | 2 Whether the Penalty though undergone by another, be not the idem of the Obligation? |
| A90278 | 20. because he now will, and may, suitablely to his Justice ▪ Wisdome, and Appointment, make out unto them? |
| A90278 | 3 How doth this Elude the force of my Answer? |
| A90278 | 4 Doth not Mr B. suppose, That in the very Tenure of the Obligation there is required a solution, tending to the same End as satisfaction doth? |
| A90278 | 4 That the Law threatned not Christ but us, is most true: but the Question is, Whether Christ underwent not the threatning of the Law, not we? |
| A90278 | 4 To the thing it self, I desire to enquire; 1 What M. B. intends by solutio ejusdem in the businesse in hand? |
| A90278 | And may not this hold in things Personal also? |
| A90278 | And what said I more? |
| A90278 | And what saith Grotius more then this? |
| A90278 | But how is all this proved? |
| A90278 | But is it from hence, because by his Death, he Purchaseth for them, the compleating of that Condition in them? |
| A90278 | But is there any such thing as Deliverance once aimed at, or intended in the tenor of the Obligation? |
| A90278 | But is this his mind indeed? |
| A90278 | But then, Why doth the Lord bestow Faith on Peter at the 40th yeer of his Age, and not before, or after? |
| A90278 | But, Do I not then fight with a shadow? |
| A90278 | Can Justice refuse to accept of such a payment? |
| A90278 | Can it be any other but the Glory of Gods Justice in the everlasting destruction of the Creature? |
| A90278 | Do I labour to prove that which I never Affirmed? |
| A90278 | Doth he assert tantundem to be in this matter equivalent unto idem{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}? |
| A90278 | Doth he not maintain it to be the Offendors own undergoing the Penalty of the Law? |
| A90278 | Else, Why is Faith given him at this instant for Christs sake, and not to another, for whom also he died? |
| A90278 | For, What is that Love of God which through Christ is effectual to bestow Faith upon the Unbeleeving? |
| A90278 | For: 1; Why doth the Lord bestow Faith on Peter, not on Judas? |
| A90278 | He purposed from Eternity, to inflict punishment on Sinners: and on what sinners? |
| A90278 | He that spared not his Son, but delivered him up to Death for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things? |
| A90278 | How then can it possibly be supposed to attain the End spoken of ipso facto? |
| A90278 | I ask then, Whence that Assurance doth accrew? |
| A90278 | IT is one of the greatest and noblest Questions in our Controverted Divinity, What are the immediate Effects of Christs Death? |
| A90278 | If the Second: 1 I desire to know, What is this Intention here assigned to our Saviour? |
| A90278 | In respect of punishment abstracting from Persons, the Law was not dispensed withal as to Christ? |
| A90278 | In things Real, I gave an Instance before: If a man pay twenty pounds for another who owed it, doth not he pay the idem in the Obligation? |
| A90278 | Is it because he was not Primarily in the Obligation? |
| A90278 | Is it because the Law doth threaten every man Personally? |
| A90278 | Is it from his foresight of their good using their Abilities to fulfil the Condition to them prescribed? |
| A90278 | Is it not his main endeavour to prove it so? |
| A90278 | Is there any one Argument in my whole Book used to any such purpose? |
| A90278 | It is true, he could have made us quickly know it: but who hath been his Counsellour? |
| A90278 | Now what excepts M. B. hereunto? |
| A90278 | Now what sayes this Argument to the Contrary? |
| A90278 | Or will he deny it to be equivalent in Gods Gracious Acceptance? |
| A90278 | That dreadful cry, Why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A90278 | That is, Whether Christ paid the idem in the Obligation, or tantundum? |
| A90278 | That is, Whether God be only a Rector, or a Rector and Creditor also in this Businesse? |
| A90278 | They were Potentially in the Purpose of God: but will that make them a meet subject for the Residence of this Right, and Merit whereof we speak? |
| A90278 | To what End, you will say, doth Mr Owen adde these Arguments? |
| A90278 | What End I pray doth this obtain ipso facto? |
| A90278 | What differs this in the Close from absolute freedom? |
| A90278 | What now sayes M. B. to this? |
| A90278 | What then doth the Lord do, when he thus bestoweth Faith on him? |
| A90278 | What then is my Crime? |
| A90278 | Whence is this difference? |
| A90278 | Where I pray? |
| A90278 | Where then is the difference? |
| A90278 | Wherein? |
| A90278 | Whether Christ paid the idem, or the tantundum? |
| A90278 | Why? |
| A90278 | Will his words bear any other sense? |
| A90278 | Will you deny it? |
| A90278 | and if so, Whether it be not the same Penalty( the idem) or no? |
| A90278 | never beleeved? |
| A90278 | never thought? |
| A90278 | or can it require any more? |

| A90298 | And Job in the 24. c. and 14. v. asks much the same question, If a man die, shall he live again? |
| A90298 | And he said, While the Child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the Child may live? |
| A90298 | And if these Children of David prov''d so bad, who knows but the Child that died might have prov''d as bad as any of the rest in case it had liv''d? |
| A90298 | And what good, will you say, could Hezekiah''s praying, and weeping, and appealing to the Righteousness of his life do him? |
| A90298 | And what reason then have we to lay so much to heart the death of our Friends and Relations, and to pine away meerly for sorrow that they are gone? |
| A90298 | And what was the Issue of their Repentance and Humiliation, and using the best means they could to divert Gods Judgments? |
| A90298 | But if we do not believe a Resurrection, why are we so rash and formal as to own an Article that we dare not rely on? |
| A90298 | But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? |

| A90298 | But then how is it that these dry bones will live? |
| A90298 | Can I bring him back again? |
| A90298 | Could that or any thing else save him and prevent his dying, when God had so solemnly Decreed? |
| A90298 | David considered that Death was common to all, and that''t is appointed for all men once to die: What man is he that liveth and shall not see death? |
| A90298 | For I said, who can tell whether the Lord will be gracious to me that the Child may live? |
| A90298 | For may not he dispose of his gifts, and do with his own as he pleases? |
| A90298 | For to what purpose is all our weeping, and mourning, and casting down our selves? |
| A90298 | For why should they take on and weep so bitterly for the loss of a Child or Relation, when they believe no such thing as a return from Death? |
| A90298 | He that could not endure to see it in misery, how will he bear the loss of it? |
| A90298 | How can we reconcile this Posthumous Passion to common reason? |
| A90298 | How could a Father restrain his tears when he beheld his own flesh and blood, and Bone of his Bone, to be in such great affliction? |
| A90298 | How could he endure to see his own Bowels torn from him without a deep and sorrowful resentment? |
| A90298 | Indeed your Ladyship has had somewhat the greater tryal, as losing a Son, and an only Son, Quid enim utilius filio? |

| A23803 | And for the Common- Wealth, how full has it been of Jarrs and Contentions? |
| A23803 | And now would you on the one hand see the reason why you are so fearful of Death? |
| A23803 | And, if thou needs wilt Build, let St. Chrysostom be a little thy Surveyour wouldst thou erect Beauteous and Splendid Edifices? |
| A23803 | Are our Friends for the present in a flourishing Estate? |

| A23803 | But, is he thy Friend, and dost thou envy him his Happiness? |

| A23803 | Let the Comfort then, which Death brings, moderate our Sorrow for our Friends who Sleep in Jesus: why should we be troubled for them who are at Rest? |

| A23803 | So after all this Colloquy of ours, anatomizing the vain World, what can we find here worthy our Affections? |
| A23803 | The sting of death is Sin; since Death is only venemous and deadly to them who live in Sin: on the other hand, would you see the way to a joyful End? |
| A23803 | Then what do we here, here in our unsatisfied Desires? |
| A23803 | Thinkst thou of Youth and Strength? |

| A23803 | V. In the Church, what Flouds, what Seas can lend us Tears enough to bewail this want of Vnity in matters of Religion? |
| A23803 | Wast of Food, Wast of Feeders? |
| A23803 | What Man is he that liveth, and shall not see Death? |
| A23803 | What then is our being? |
| A23803 | Why did our Mothers conceive us, and bring us forth to a miserable World; and unkindly rejoyce to hear us cry? |
| A23803 | Why should we impatiently take it, that they are withdrawn for a time, whom we believe returning to Eternity? |
| A23803 | Why should we then thus be surrrounded with Fears, and permit Death''s Terrors thus to affright us? |
| A23803 | Why so big with Expectation of Advantage or Advancement from thy Rich Ally, Honourable Lord, Potent Friend? |
| A23803 | Why too much, if we believe they are not lost? |
| A23803 | Why were we born to behold the Sun? |

| A23803 | and does not those many Miseries highly applaud its shortness? |
| A23803 | and here that Judaism is seasonable, What need this wast? |
| A23803 | and not worthy our Disdain? |
| A23803 | and sit down in Sorrow for them who are entred into Joy? |
| A23803 | and so many Tears flow from our Eyes for them, who have all Tears wiped away from theirs? |
| A23803 | because such Lightnings, Inflammations in his Veins? |
| A23803 | can he enter into his Mother''s Womb again and be born? |
| A23803 | can they then whose is the whole Earth want Cities? |

| A23803 | how many that are young, and in the Vigour of their Age, have died before thee? |
| A23803 | is it because he hath such Earthquakes in him, so many Chollicks and Palsies? |
| A23803 | is it because he hath such Thunderings, sudden Noises in his Head? |
| A23803 | no, that''s not he: is''t the Man whom the King will Honour, with the Ring, and Steed, and Royal Robe? |
| A23803 | our eager Prosecutions? |

| A23803 | seems it so hard a task to Walk the Path, which all our Ancestors have Trod before us? |
| A23803 | shall he deliver his Soul from the hand of the grave? |
| A23803 | should we not rather be glad and rejoye at the approach of Death, that when e''er it comes it proves so advantagious to us? |
| A23803 | that he has not cut down the principal Cedar? |
| A23803 | that he has not deprived us of our chiefest Support, and Royal Defender? |
| A23803 | that our only business here, is but like unto the Wise Virgins; to Trim our Lamps, and to wait the coming of the Bridegroom? |
| A23803 | this Life, what is it but a going to Death? |
| A23803 | thou hast the Words of Eternall Life: let us say in this, Lord to whom should we live? |
| A23803 | to Sow to the Flesh, and to the World, and yet Reap by Christ the Gain of everlasting Life after Death? |
| A23803 | what glorious Objects not to be reveal''d, should you there behold? |

| A23803 | what though not straightway granted,''t is but to glorify our Patience? |

| A23803 | why should we immoderately grieve that our Friends go before us, seeing we must quickly follow after? |

| A23803 | yet were the World let loose against them, Christ''s little Flock need fear no ill; for they are in such a Hand, as who shall take them from him? |
| A64099 | And now let us consider, what that thing is, which we call years of discretion? |
| A64099 | Are there not many thousands that die every night, and that groan and weep sadly every day? |
| A64099 | Aut ubi mors non est si jugulatis aquae? |
| A64099 | But what do I speak of such imperfect persons? |
| A64099 | But what shall we think of that great evil, which for the sins of men, God hath suffered to possess the greatest part of Mankinde? |
| A64099 | By faith we quench the fiery darts of the Devil; but if our faith be quenched, wherewithall shall we be able to endure the assault? |
| A64099 | Can prayers for a dead man do him more good then when he was alive? |
| A64099 | Can you rely upon all the strange propositions of Scripture, and be content to perish if they be not true? |
| A64099 | Can you then trust his goodnesse,& beleeve him to be a Father when you groan under his rod? |
| A64099 | Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? |
| A64099 | Did not Priamus weep oftner then Troilus? |
| A64099 | Did not the Lady of Sabinus for others interest bear twins privately and without groaning? |
| A64099 | Et cum nihil imminuat doloris, cur f ● ustra turpes esse volumus? |
| A64099 | For in the second death there is no remembrance of thee, in that grave who shall give thee thanks? |
| A64099 | For what is the meaning, and what is the extent, and what are the significations of the Divine mercy, in pardoning sinners? |
| A64099 | For who is God save the Lord? |
| A64099 | Hath God forgotten to be gracious? |
| A64099 | He that spared not his own Son but delivered him up for us all: how shall he not with him give us all things? |
| A64099 | How few men in the world are prosperous? |
| A64099 | How many dayes and nights have we spent in sorrow or care, in habitual and actual pursuances of vertue? |
| A64099 | How many of the noblest Romans have taken death for sanctuary, and have esteemed it less then shame or a mean dishonour? |
| A64099 | I d cine ● rem aut manes credis curare sepultos? |
| A64099 | I have sinned what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? |
| A64099 | IN the Lord put I my trust; how say ye to my soul, flee as a bird to your mountain? |
| A64099 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
| A64099 | If thou Lord should mark iniquities: O Lord, who shall stand? |
| A64099 | Is his promise clean gone for ever? |
| A64099 | It is God that justifieth; who is he that condemneth? |
| A64099 | Jesus said unto her, Said I not to thee, that if thou wouldest beleeve thou shouldst see the glory of God? |
| A64099 | LOrd whither shall I go? |
| A64099 | Let him inquire in the words of the first Disciples after Pentecost: Men and brethren what shall we do to be saved? |
| A64099 | My soul is also sore vexed, but thou, O Lord how long? |
| A64099 | N ● mo me lachrymis decoret nec funera fletu Faxit; cur? |

| A64099 | Quis vultum mutavit unquam? |
| A64099 | Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? |
| A64099 | They that 3000 years agone dyed unwillingly, and stopped death two dayes, or staid it a week, what is their gain? |
| A64099 | Thou O Lord remainest for ever, thy throne from generation to generation: wherefore doest thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? |
| A64099 | Thus in the three years famine David enquired of the Lord what was the matter? |
| A64099 | Was not all the world drowned at one deluge, and breach of the Divine anger? |
| A64099 | When men saw the graves of Calatinus, of the Servicij, the Scipio''s, the Metelli, did ever any man among the wisest Romans think them unhappy? |
| A64099 | Wherefore doth a living man complain? |
| A64099 | Wherefore should I fear in the dayes of evil, when the wickednesse of my heels shall compasse me about? |
| A64099 | Who did not scorn the proud vanity of Cyrus when he took so goodly a revenge upon the river Cyndus for his hard passage over it? |
| A64099 | Who did not scorn to look upon Xerxes when he caused 300. stripes to be given to the Sea, and sent a chartell of defiance against the Mountain Atho? |
| A64099 | Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? |
| A64099 | Would all the pleasures of the world have kept him one hour from the Temple? |
| A64099 | a man for the punishment of his sins? |
| A64099 | and his hunger slacked by a greater pain, and a huge fear? |
| A64099 | and if thou doest, why doest thou weep impertinently and unreasonably? |
| A64099 | and in summe whether we have by the grace of repentance changed our life from criminal to vertuous, from one habit to another? |
| A64099 | and shall not all the world* again be destroyed by fire? |
| A64099 | and when shall that account begin? |
| A64099 | and why doest not thou pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? |
| A64099 | doth his promise fail for evermore? |
| A64099 | hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? |
| A64099 | how many Provinces and Kingdoms are afflicted by a violent war, or made desolate by popular diseases? |
| A64099 | how we have judged our selves, and how punished? |
| A64099 | how you embraced peace when it was offered you? |

| A31080 | Again, are we old? |
| A31080 | Again, be our condition what it will, this advice is reasonable: Are we in health? |
| A31080 | And what great difference is there between this and the greatest worldly state? |
| A31080 | And what is more inconsistent with wisedom, than to engage our selves upon making such ineffectual and fruitless wishes? |
| A31080 | Are not( in the Psalmist''s accompt) all our years spent as a tale that is told; or, as a Fable, that is acted? |
| A31080 | Are we poor or afflicted? |
| A31080 | Are we rich and prosperous? |
| A31080 | Are we sick? |
| A31080 | Art thou young? |
| A31080 | By our delay to amend, what do we gain? |
| A31080 | Doth it become us to contend, or emulate so much about it? |
| A31080 | Doth not every day present experiments of sudden death? |
| A31080 | Doth not, seluding hidden decrees, every Man''s life hang upon a thread very slender and frail? |
| A31080 | For who would much regard the having custody of a rich treasure for a day or two, then to be stripped of all, and left bare? |
| A31080 | For why, though suppose Men of small worth, or vertue should flourish in Honour and Power, shall we repine thereat? |
| A31080 | How deeply do we concern our selves in all that is said or done; when the morrow all will be done away and forgotten? |
| A31080 | How long, saith Solomon, wilt thou sleep, O Sluggard, when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? |
| A31080 | How many have been cropt in the flower of their age and vigour of their strength? |
| A31080 | Moriar? |
| A31080 | Quid enim diu est, ubi sinis est? |
| A31080 | Shall I dye? |
| A31080 | This in comparison of that, what is it at most, but telling the same story, acting the same Part a few times over? |
| A31080 | To be to day invested in large domains, and to morrow to be dispossess''d of them? |
| A31080 | What are a few years more than a few hours repeated not very often? |
| A31080 | What is more disagreeable to reason, than to do that, for which we must be forced to confess and call our selves fools? |
| A31080 | Who that any- wise tendereth his own welfare would move one step forward in so perillous and destructive a course? |
| A31080 | Why do we please our selves in such evanid dreams? |
| A31080 | Why erect we such mighty fabricks of expectation and confidence upon such unsteady sands? |
| A31080 | Why is Gold more precious than Glass or Crystal? |
| A31080 | Why not? |
| A31080 | You say you will repent to morrow; but are you sure you shall have a morrow to repent in? |
| A31080 | and why with less expedition or urgency should we pursue the certain means of our present security and comfort, of our final salvation and happiness? |
| A31080 | between Alexander in the History, and Alexander on the Stage? |
| A31080 | can any man with comfort lodge in a condition so dismally ticklish? |
| A31080 | have we not cause rather to fear that he will chastise our presumption by withholding his Grace? |
| A31080 | have you a lease to shew for any term of life? |
| A31080 | have you an hour in your hand, or one minute at your disposal? |
| A31080 | how many precepts to be observed in order thereto? |
| A31080 | how many rules are to be learnt? |
| A31080 | how many, that might have promised themselves as fair scope as we can, have been unexpectedly snapt away? |
| A31080 | if we do not renounce felicity( and do we not then renounce our wits?) |
| A31080 | in doing so, are we not strangely inconsistent with our selves? |
| A31080 | is it not subject to many diseases lurking within, and to a thousand accidents flying about us? |
| A31080 | saith St. Austine: what can be long that shall be ended; which coming to that pass is as if it never had been? |
| A31080 | shall we then when we are fit for little begin to undertake his service? |
| A31080 | to what purpose was such a distinction made, that signified in effect so little? |
| A31080 | when we have forfeited it, when we have rejected it, when we have spurned and driven it away, can we hope to recover it? |
| A31080 | which for no other reason, than because it so hurteth and grieveth us, was by our loving Creatour interdicted to us? |
| A31080 | who being fallen into the jaws of a terrible danger, will not nimbly leap out thence? |
| A31080 | who being seised by a pernicious disease, will not haste to seek a cure? |
| A31080 | why prefer we a Ruby before a Rose, or a Gilly- flower? |
| A31080 | with our decrepid limbs and wasted strength shall we set our selves to run the ways of his commandments? |

| A26805 | A considering Christian will reject them with indignation, saying with Joseph, How can I do this great Wickedness, and sin against God? |
| A26805 | An verè extribuit nobis omnia quae promisit,& de solo die judicii nos fefellit? |
| A26805 | And can it be extended to humane affairs, if there be no other than the present state, wherein the Righteous are afflicted, and the Wicked prosper? |
| A26805 | And is it not very becoming Believers joyfully to ascend to the Seat of Blessedness, to the happy Society that inspires mutual Joys for ever? |
| A26805 | And is it reasonable to expect the least breathings of the Spirit, any divine Assistance, after long resisting his holy Excitations? |
| A26805 | And it may be said to this our last Enemy, in the words of the Prophet to the bloody King, Hast thou killed and taken possession? |
| A26805 | And shall not he render to every Man according to his Works? |
| A26805 | And to the other part of the Question, Why the Saints remain in the state of Death for a time? |
| A26805 | And what can be more provoking, than for a Trifle to transgress the Law of God, and equally despise his Favour and Displeasure? |

| A26805 | But how desperate is the madness of Sinners? |
| A26805 | But how often does Experience convince us of the inefficacy of a sick- bed Repentance? |
| A26805 | But what Man is he that lives, and shall not see Death? |
| A26805 | Can any punishment less than Eternal expiate such Impieties? |
| A26805 | Do they hope to soften the Judg by Submissions and Deprecations? |
| A26805 | Et quos vivificabat mors, nihilominus& trepidatio robustos,& maestitia laetos& taedium alacres& turbatio quietos sacecet,& desolatio consolatos? |
| A26805 | For what is the weak light of our minds, to the pure eyes of his Glory? |
| A26805 | God forbid: For then how shall God judg the World? |
| A26805 | How bitter is Death that deprives a carnal Wretch of all the materials of his frail Felicity? |
| A26805 | How boldly did they encounter Death that interpos''d between them and the sight of his Glory? |
| A26805 | How comfortable is it to his People that he who loved them above his Life, and was their Redeemer on the Cross, shal be their Judg on the Throne? |
| A26805 | How difficult to order the Affections, to raise what is drooping, and suppress what is rebellious? |
| A26805 | How is it possible he should condemn those for whom he died, and who appear with the impressions of his reconciling Blood upon them? |
| A26805 | How joyfully are they received into Heaven by our Saviour and the blessed Spirits? |
| A26805 | How just is it that those who are the Slaves of the Devil, and maintain his Party here, should have their recompence with him for ever? |

| A26805 | How will it confound those abject Wretches to be a spectacle of abhorrence and scorn before that Universal Glorious Confluence? |
| A26805 | How zealous an indignation did the Son of God express against the obdurate Pharisees? |
| A26805 | If Sin with an eternal Hell in its Retinue be chosen and embrac''d, is it not equal that the rational Creature should inherit his own choice? |
| A26805 | In cubile intras? |
| A26805 | Is it not just that those who would continue under the dominion of Sin, should forfeit all their claim to the Divine Mercy? |
| A26805 | Is not Heaven the Countrey of the Saints? |
| A26805 | Is there any Sin of a more mortal guilt? |

| A26805 | Shall not God search it out, for he knows the very secrets of the heart? |
| A26805 | Shall our last Enemy always detain his Spoils, our Bodies, in the Grave? |
| A26805 | The Prophet breaks forth in an Extacy, How beautiful are the feet of the Messengers of Peace, those that bring glad- tidings of Salvation? |
| A26805 | This Fear surprised the Sinners in Sion; Who among us can dwell with devouring Fire? |
| A26805 | Thus the wise King declares, Doth not he that ponders the Heart consider it? |
| A26805 | To a wise and pondering Observer, what comparison is there between Shadows and Dreams, and substantial everlasting Blessedness? |
| A26805 | Were they uncapable of hearing the Divine Commands? |

| A26805 | What a confounding discovery will be made of secret Wickedness at the last day? |
| A26805 | What a storm of passions is rais''d to lose all his good things at once? |

| A26805 | What can interrupt, much less put an end to the happiness of the Saints? |
| A26805 | What is the cause of this prodigious security? |
| A26805 | What is the present momentany Life that so enamours us? |
| A26805 | What is this lower World that chains us so fast? |
| A26805 | Who can distinguish between Royal Dust taken out of magnificent Tombs, and Plebean Dust from common Graves? |
| A26805 | Who can know who were Rich, and who were Poor; who had power and command, who were Vassals, who were remarkable by Fame, who by Infamy? |
| A26805 | Who is so vain as to please himself with an imagination of Immortality here? |
| A26805 | Who knows the power of his Anger? |
| A26805 | With what earnest affections did St. Paul desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ? |
| A26805 | Yet how many are ashamed of this Glory? |
| A26805 | You Serpents, you Generation of Vipers, how should you escape the damnation of Hell? |
| A26805 | and he that keepeth thy Soul, doth not he know it? |
| A26805 | and is not the blessed Bosom of Christ their Port? |

| A26805 | that he, who esteems every act of their Charity and Kindness done to his Servants as done to himself, shall dispense the blessed Reward? |
| A26805 | when the diseased Body can not live, and the disconsolate Soul dare not die, what Anxieties surround it? |
| A26805 | where Sins of the deepest stain and the lowdest cry are unpunish''d; and the sublime and truly heroick Vertues are unrewarded? |
| A26805 | who among us can remain with everlasting burnings? |

| A47613 | Alas Sirs, are not the shadows of the evening upon some of you? |
| A47613 | Alas, what is your life, you know not how soon death may come and knock at your doors, or look in at your windows? |
| A47613 | And certain I am, you have had many of these in this place, Nay, how many warnings have you had of the near approach of death? |
| A47613 | And hath not Gods spirit striven with you also? |
| A47613 | And shall none of these work upon you? |
| A47613 | Be you sure you shall hear the joyful sound? |
| A47613 | But again, Was not Jacob the interest of Labans family? |
| A47613 | But should there be Ministers and opportunities, yet you may be left to your selves, to ripen for Hell and ruin? |
| A47613 | But stay my soul, pray why so passionate grown, Wilt thou not suffer him to reap his own? |
| A47613 | Can he deliver his soul from the power of the grave? |
| A47613 | Can none deliver his own soul from the power of the grave? |
| A47613 | Can none deliver their own souls from the power of the grave? |
| A47613 | Can you close in with a better friend? |
| A47613 | Can you still stand it out against such precious patience and offers of grace? |
| A47613 | Consider of the shortness and uncertainty of your dayes? |
| A47613 | Do you know for certain the Gospel shall be continued to this Land? |
| A47613 | Do you know that you shall have all these helps continued to you? |
| A47613 | Doth the soul go to the grave? |
| A47613 | First, By way of Exhortation, Is it so Beloved, must all men die? |
| A47613 | First, Doth not some poor soul hear say, Oh what shall I do that I may be prepared for the grave? |
| A47613 | Hath not God afforded you the Gospel beyond what he hath to divers parts of the world? |
| A47613 | Have not you and I notwithstanding all this hearkened to a base deceitful heart, and inticeing and tempting Devil? |
| A47613 | Have we not grieved, burdened, yea even wearied him with our iniquities? |
| A47613 | Have you a heart, a mind, a desire indeed to be fitted for that hour? |
| A47613 | Have you not had Summons and Calls from thence? |
| A47613 | Have you not let him stand till his head was wet with the dew, and his locks with the drops of the night? |
| A47613 | Have you stouted it out against all Pains and Endeavours used for Spiritual awakenings, and are you yet alive? |
| A47613 | He having overcome, shall not he receive the Crown? |
| A47613 | How did God bless him for Jacobs sake? |
| A47613 | How dost thou think to escape the Judgement of God? |
| A47613 | How long hath he stood knocking at the doors of your hearts? |
| A47613 | How shall the harvest be gathered in, when the chief Labourer in this field is gone? |
| A47613 | How shall we then comfort our selves against death? |
| A47613 | I s Norcot dead? |
| A47613 | Is he not ready to take his farewell of you? |
| A47613 | Is it not a sad and most lamentable thing, thus to deal with a loving and gracious God? |
| A47613 | Is it so? |
| A47613 | Is my hand shortned, that it can not redeem? |
| A47613 | Is not one ▪ day with God, beholding his lovely face, better than a thousand? |
| A47613 | Is not this that a poor Saint longs for? |
| A47613 | Is the Grave the place prepared for all Living? |
| A47613 | Is the dark grave the appointed house for all living? |
| A47613 | It matters not who reproach us, if Conscience doth not? |
| A47613 | It may be you will ask where? |
| A47613 | Know ye not that there is a Prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel? |
| A47613 | May not the thoughts of this move thee to a preparedness for the grave? |
| A47613 | May we not say with the Prophet, No man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? |
| A47613 | Ministers, nay, our choice and godly Pastors, must they die too? |
| A47613 | Must Fathers die, yea tender Fathers? |
| A47613 | Must Fathers, Husbands, Wives, Children, Ministres, and the dearest Friends we have dye? |
| A47613 | Must Friends, our dearest Friends die? |

| A47613 | Must every Mothers child of us take up our Lodging there? |
| A47613 | Must that little cool house under ground hold us all? |
| A47613 | Nay, and hath not Conscience endeavoured to awaken you? |
| A47613 | Nay, have we not pierced him? |
| A47613 | Nay, what a gracious and powerful ministration of it hath there been continued for some time in this place? |
| A47613 | O grave where is thy victory? |
| A47613 | O how good is rest to a weary soul? |
| A47613 | O what a blessed thing it is to die in Christ? |
| A47613 | O will not this be to thy great advantage? |
| A47613 | Oh death where is thy sting? |
| A47613 | Oh how many able and godly preachers and others have we lost in a short space? |
| A47613 | Oh what a defiling, ensnaring, and bewitching world is this? |
| A47613 | Oh what a miserable creature hath sin made man, or rather man by sin made himself? |
| A47613 | Oh what is a greater trouble to a Child of God than indwelling sin? |
| A47613 | Oh what pains did he take with some of you, that so you might be ready? |
| A47613 | Oh what would some men give for such a friend? |
| A47613 | Oh, saith Joshua, what wilt thou do for thy great name? |
| A47613 | Shall Ministers spend their study, their breath, nay their strength, to no purpose: what will you do then in the end? |
| A47613 | Shall all means fail? |

| A47613 | Shall the Gospel be preached in vain? |
| A47613 | Shall the goodness of God, that should lead to repentance, encourage and harden thee in thy iniquity? |
| A47613 | Shall the proudest and loftiest be brought down to the dust? |
| A47613 | Sinner what hast thou done, wilt thou sin away thy mercies, sin away thy Ministers? |
| A47613 | Some may say what doth a godly man gain by death? |
| A47613 | The Godly fail, and ceaseth for to be, Lord, is not this for our iniquity? |
| A47613 | The loss is great, oh how shall it be repaired? |
| A47613 | Then consider how much this calls upon you to be ready to die? |
| A47613 | Then poor sinners shall I prevail with you to prepare for death? |
| A47613 | Thirdly, How often hath the Lord called you, and yet you have rebelled? |
| A47613 | Was he not graciously calling upon you the last Lords day? |
| A47613 | Was not Lot the interest of Sodom? |
| A47613 | We have need of more, and Lord do''st thou take away these we have? |
| A47613 | What greater vexation to us? |
| A47613 | What hinders us of our joy and peace in Christ more than it? |
| A47613 | What man is he that liveth and shall not see death? |
| A47613 | What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? |
| A47613 | What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? |
| A47613 | What pains did he take with you, that you might not deceive your selves and miss at last of eternal life? |
| A47613 | What will stand your souls in greater stead, when you come to die than this? |
| A47613 | When a man hath worked hard all day and wearied himself, how willing is he to go to bed at night? |
| A47613 | When death sits upon your trembling lips, and you not prepared, what would you give for peace and pardon then? |
| A47613 | Where God gives many talents, he requires the improvement of them; what will become of Jerusalem and Capernaum in the day of Judgement? |
| A47613 | Who is able to conceive what a glorious place heaven is? |
| A47613 | Who would be unwilling to die, that hath an interest in Jesus Christ? |
| A47613 | Will God still suffer his holy Spirit to strive with you? |
| A47613 | Will any dare, that are sensible of the worth of their Immortal Souls, neglect this concern any longer? |
| A47613 | Will money do nothing, must I die, that have so great riches? |
| A47613 | Will you not yet open to Christ? |

| A47613 | nay one half year? |
| A47613 | that is, Have I lost my power to redeem? |
| A47613 | where are those Troops of Israelites that excelled in patience, chastity, temperance, holiness and humility? |
| A17386 | 14. and doe not wicked men hate vs, and enuy vs, and speak all manner of euil sayings of vs, because wee follow good? |
| A17386 | 23. hee is vehement; O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer mee from this body of death? |
| A17386 | All things be full of labour, who can vtter it? |
| A17386 | And can we bee so senceless as to be afraid of this? |
| A17386 | And doth not the hireling long for the time, wherein hee shall receiue wages for his work? |
| A17386 | And if they hate vs for well- dooing, how will they triumph if our foote doe but slippe? |
| A17386 | And is it not best to be in heauen, and then are we safe? |
| A17386 | And is not this enough to make vs loath life? |
| A17386 | And of the labours of thy life, which is but the least part of thy bodily miseries, Salomon saith, All things are full of labour, who can vtter it? |
| A17386 | And shall not our Iubilee bee acceptable to vs? |
| A17386 | And shall not that make vs loue the appearing of Christ? |
| A17386 | And shall wee bee worse then bruite beasts? |
| A17386 | And was euer the weary labourer afraid of the time, whē hee must lye downe, and take his rest? |
| A17386 | And was not Canaan the place of their rest, and a Land that flowed with milke and hony? |
| A17386 | And what doth Death more vnto Gods Graine, then cast it into the earth? |
| A17386 | And what is Heauen, but a Spirituall Canaan? |
| A17386 | Are not wee extremely infatuated, that when God will do better for vs, then wee desire, yet we wil be afraid of him? |
| A17386 | Are wee not crucified to the world? |
| A17386 | Can any man be afraid to be happy? |
| A17386 | Can darknesse loue light? |
| A17386 | Can we desire still to liue in wants,& to be vnder age? |
| A17386 | Do we not beleeue, our bodies shall rise like the graine, better then euer they were sowed? |
| A17386 | Doe wee fall into any speciall misery in this world? |
| A17386 | For it is indeed the beginning of an euerlasting day: and is there any greeuance in that? |
| A17386 | For what was it for them to liue in Egypt, but to serue cruell Taske- masters about bricke and clay? |
| A17386 | For who knoweth, whether he that shall rule ouer thy labours, shal be a wise man, or a foole? |
| A17386 | Had we rather be in captiuity still? |
| A17386 | Hadst thou rather be in the Tempest stil, then put into the Hauen? |
| A17386 | Hast thou forgotten the consolation that saith, God will be a father to the fatherlesse, and a Iudge, and a Protector of the widowes cause? |
| A17386 | Hee hath pul''d the sting out of death: O Death, where is thy sting? |
| A17386 | How can these earthly things satisfie, whē the nature of thē is so vile and vaine? |
| A17386 | How small a portion in these things can the most men attaine? |
| A17386 | If Dauid looking vpon his sins, could say, They haue so compassed mee, and taken such hold of me, that I am not able to looke vp? |
| A17386 | If God will pay thee as much for halfe a day, as for the whole: art thou not so much the more to praise him? |
| A17386 | If any say, What is that to vs, that Christs body is raised? |
| A17386 | If diuers fresh waters fall into the Sea; what doth that to take away the saltnesse of the Sea? |
| A17386 | If none of these would satisfie thee, yet what are thy friends on earth, to thy friends thou shalt find in heauen? |
| A17386 | If thou art willing to dye at any time, why not now? |
| A17386 | If thou beleeue, that death will end all thy miseries, why art thou carefull to defer the time? |
| A17386 | If thou looke vpon thy outward estate in the world, with what fearefull frights may thy heart be griped? |
| A17386 | If thou loue life, why dost thou not loue eternall life? |
| A17386 | If we had but the eies of faith to consider of this, we would thinke euery houre a yeare, till wee were with them? |
| A17386 | If we loue long life: VVhy are wee not much more in loue with eternall life, where the duration is longer, and the estate happier? |
| A17386 | Is a King afraid of the day of his Coronation? |
| A17386 | Is any man angry& greeued when he is at sea in a tempest, because hee shall be so quickly carried into the Hauen? |
| A17386 | Is he displeased with the wind, that wil soon set him safe in the harbour? |
| A17386 | Is not sleepe a resemblance of Death? |
| A17386 | Is this such a lesson as can not be learned? |
| A17386 | It is but as the barke of a tree, or the shell, or such like; now what great losse can there be in any of these? |
| A17386 | Lastly, shall we be afraid of such an enemy as hath been ouercome hand to hand,& beaten by Christ, and thousands of the Saints? |
| A17386 | Now if we get our Charter sealed and confirmed to vs, how can we be afraid of the time of possession? |
| A17386 | Now which is better for vs, to haue the body, or to haue Christ? |
| A17386 | O who would liue in a prison, a dungeon, rather then a Palace of royall freedome? |
| A17386 | Oh hell, where is thy victory? |
| A17386 | Or shall we be like slaues, that dare not come in our Masters sight? |
| A17386 | Secondly, if thou obserue, but how God hath auenged himselfe vpon them,& what yet remaineth vnto thee, how can thy heart sustaine it selfe? |
| A17386 | Shal we more esteeme this wretched Carkasse, then our glorious God: whose onely presence in glory shall fill vs with eternall delight? |
| A17386 | Shall the heire desire to be still vnder age, and so still vnder Tutors and Gouernors? |
| A17386 | Shall we be like wicked men? |
| A17386 | Shall we bee worse then children, or mad- men? |
| A17386 | Shall wee bee afraid of a shadow? |
| A17386 | Sixthly, if our comming into the world bee with teares: Is it any wonder, if our going out be so too? |
| A17386 | Sixtly, why should we loue the world that hateth vs, and casts vs off, as men dead out of minde? |
| A17386 | The first is the danger of displeasing of God: who would liue to offend God? |
| A17386 | The greatest Apostle must in this respect cryout, Who is sufficient for these things? |
| A17386 | The miseries, that accompany the naturall life of man, while hee remaines in the state of Nature onely, who can recount? |
| A17386 | Their death is compelled ▪ Shall ours bee so too? |
| A17386 | Thirdly, thou likest not Death, thou saiest, for the paine of it: Why then likest thou life, which puts thee to worse paine? |
| A17386 | This feare is called a bondage here in this text: And shall wee voluntarily make our selues Vassailes? |
| A17386 | Those, that can plead felicitie in their friends; yet what is it? |
| A17386 | Thou camest naked into the world; and why should it grieue thee to goe naked out of the world? |
| A17386 | Thou canst not enioy them euer,& therefore why shouldest thou trouble thy heart about them? |
| A17386 | Thou must leaue thē once, and therefore why not now? |
| A17386 | VVhen see wee men trembling for feare of spirituall death? |
| A17386 | Was euer runner so foolish, as to bee sorry, that with victory hee was neere the end of the race? |

| A17386 | What can that aduantage thee with such mixtures of euill? |
| A17386 | What case were wee in, if war should come vpon vs, with all the desolations& terrors that accompany it? |
| A17386 | What if the Pestilence should come againe, or we be left in the hands of the violent? |
| A17386 | What is it to be dead, but not to be in the world? |
| A17386 | What is that space of time to eternity? |
| A17386 | What is this world but Egypt, and what is it to Liue in this world, but to serue about bricke and clay? |
| A17386 | What man is he, that liueth, and shall not see death? |
| A17386 | What shall I say against the terrour of death, but this Text of the Apostle? |
| A17386 | What shall mooue vs, if such an incomparable crown can not moue vs? |
| A17386 | What wouldest thou tarry heere so long for? |
| A17386 | Who can tell what fearful alterations may be in Religion? |
| A17386 | Why brethren; what are our bodies, but like the best graine? |
| A17386 | Why should we doubt of it, but that the godly die more easily then the wicked? |
| A17386 | Why shouldest thou be so in loue with the honours of this world, if thou but consider how small thy preferment is, or can be? |
| A17386 | Why then accuse we death, for the paines our life giues vs at the parting? |
| A17386 | Wouldest not thou iudge him a Sot, that mournes because hee was not aliue a hundred yeres agoe? |
| A17386 | and are we still afraid? |
| A17386 | and both soule and body sentenced to eternall death? |
| A17386 | and is it any paine to be out of the world? |
| A17386 | and what great heire would bee grieued at the tidings, that all his Lands were falne vnto him? |
| A17386 | neither of them feare death; And shall simplicity, or Ideotisme, doe more with them, then reason or Religion can doe with vs? |
| A17386 | or God fight against our estates by fire, or inundations, or the like? |
| A17386 | or any way to make him angry? |
| A17386 | or are wee so transported with spirituall madnes, as to be afraid to passe through the gate of death, to attain such a life? |
| A17386 | or grieue his Spirit? |
| A17386 | or shall the seruant feare the day of his freedome? |
| A17386 | or the sonnes of Belial oare for the sons of God? |
| A17386 | shall wee bee so stupide, as daily to passe by the graues of the dead, and heare their knells, and yet bee vntaught and vnarmed? |
| A17386 | vvhat should wee reckon of the life of mens carkases, whē their soules are dead? |
| A17386 | what shall I doe to be saued, and get out of this estate? |
| A17386 | who would loue to liue in a Pesthouse, that may dwell in a place for euer free from all infection? |
| A08273 | And if I be rayled on for the name of Christ, shall I discouer my weakenesse through impatience? |
| A08273 | And is not the sudden hand of God vpon such as at this day blaspheme his Name? |
| A08273 | And shall I come short of these in spirituall and heauenly things? |
| A08273 | And should you professing humilitie, grudge when any thing befalls you for your good? |
| A08273 | And so by often dying, learne to die better? |
| A08273 | And to whom pray they? |
| A08273 | And what is pouertie, ignominie, captiuitie, miserie, but( seeming) not necessarie causes of griefe? |
| A08273 | And what is the Graue, but a bed to rest me in? |
| A08273 | And what man liueth and shall not see death? |
| A08273 | And why should I fulfill the desires, and vaine delights of my corrupt heart? |
| A08273 | But I know no good in my selfe, what shall I say then? |
| A08273 | But hath any man learned by their relations what it is to die? |
| A08273 | But what are the things, that in this life, may be reputed o ● ely necessarie? |
| A08273 | But what is this to the satisfaction of the World? |
| A08273 | But what of these? |
| A08273 | But who can bee perswaded of this my happie estate to come, considering my hard estate here? |
| A08273 | But, alas, what is it? |
| A08273 | Came not fire& brimstone from heauen vpon them? |
| A08273 | Can the tongue of Man or Angels then, expresse the aboundant felicitie, that the Saints of God shal enioy? |
| A08273 | Can there be( may some say) a profession, bringing with it such a troupe of incōueniences? |
| A08273 | Could he bring water sufficient to quench his great thirst, out of so small and so drie a vessell? |
| A08273 | Doe not our owne eyes? |
| A08273 | Doth GOD suffer his owne Children to be afflicted in this life? |
| A08273 | Doth God number the haires of ● ● r heads, and put our teares in a bottle? |
| A08273 | Doth nature afford men this care, patience, attendance, and attention, in vvorldly and perishing things? |
| A08273 | Doth not that worthy Prophet& King, Dauid, affirme that they that loue his Law, shall haue great prosperitie, and no hurt befall them? |
| A08273 | Doth the Holy Ghost visit the soules of the wealthy with comfort, in their carnall fulnesse and delights? |
| A08273 | Doth this concerne none but my selfe? |
| A08273 | How did the Iewes flatter Christ, when they went about to betray him, about the giuing of tribute to Casar? |
| A08273 | How did the same God cōfound Ierusalem, the slaughter- house, as it were, not only of his Prophets, but of his owne innocent Sonne? |
| A08273 | How much more glorious, may I thinke, is he that made it? |

| A08273 | Is God only gracious vnto the worldly- glorious? |
| A08273 | Is not the Scepter departed from them, for the wickednesse of the people that dwelt in them? |
| A08273 | Is not this respect of persons? |
| A08273 | Is this then the hurt that Death can doe vnto mee? |
| A08273 | It may be said vnto me; Why doe I then complaine? |
| A08273 | It may bee demanded, Is it so easie a matter to obtaine eternall life? |
| A08273 | NOw then, seeing so great a weight of glorie, set before the eye of my faith; why should I be afraid to lay downe this my mortall bodie in the graue? |
| A08273 | Need not I therefore to be carefull of my carriage, being subiect to a double censure? |
| A08273 | Needes there examples of such as haue beene striken, some dumbe, some blind, some dead in an instant? |
| A08273 | Norden, John, 1548- 1625? |
| A08273 | Norden, John, 1548- 1625? |
| A08273 | O what a terrour therefore befals me, O Lord, through the consideration and calling to mind the former course of my most corrupt and sinfull life? |
| A08273 | O, who will not consider this? |
| A08273 | Or may a man by their examples presume, that though hee die, hee may yet reuiue againe, as did the Souldier cast into Elishaes graue? |
| A08273 | Or who shall condemne me? |
| A08273 | SOme man may say, To what end is all thi ● Discourse, touching the crosses falling vpon him in his priuate profession and calling? |
| A08273 | Shall I looke backe? |
| A08273 | Shall not Death then separate me from Christ? |
| A08273 | Should I then or neede I to be afraid to lay downe this my mortall body, also among the dead for a time? |
| A08273 | Should I thus foolishly, for lesse then a messe of Pottage, sell my Birth- right in Heauen? |
| A08273 | Sodom, Gomorrah, Zeboim, Admah, and Zegor; where are they? |
| A08273 | Terrible is the Lord in his wrath; and who shall stand in his sight when he is angry? |
| A08273 | The Sunne is a creature that shall be darkned, yet who is able firmely to fixe his eyes vpon the glorie thereof? |
| A08273 | The like 〈 ◊ 〉 conceiue of Riches and Possessions: what could I account mee the better, were I owner of a whole Countie? |
| A08273 | The very brute beasts and fowles must trauaile for their food, how much more man? |
| A08273 | Then who shall lay any thing to my charge? |
| A08273 | They grow wealthy vn- awares to men: hauing but some colourable office or trade, who can taxe them with Talents of Siluer, or Wedges of Gold? |
| A08273 | To beleeue onely? |
| A08273 | To what end then should I so vnnecessarily respect it, as to adorne it with superfluous& needles Ornaments? |
| A08273 | Were they the worse? |
| A08273 | What are riches of the world? |
| A08273 | What glorie then, shall I thinke the Elect of God shall receiue from GODS al- fulnesse of glorie, which is so vnspeakeable as can not bee conceiued? |
| A08273 | What is his case to other men? |
| A08273 | What manner persons ought wee to bee? |
| A08273 | What neede I then hazard my soule for this bodies vaine delights, and superfluous vanities? |
| A08273 | What shal I say, or thinke? |
| A08273 | What shall I say? |
| A08273 | What should I answere to this obiection? |
| A08273 | What then will the sight of this Iudge of Iudges bee vnto the wicked, to sinfull and secure worldlings? |
| A08273 | What then? |
| A08273 | What then? |
| A08273 | Who can free himselfe of a feuer? |
| A08273 | Who can thinke of present death, and yet delight himselfe in the vncertayne things of this world? |
| A08273 | Who then can but sigh in desire, to be an inhabitant in that house, which is perpetuall and glorious? |
| A08273 | Who then will not long and desire to see them? |
| A08273 | Why art thou cast down, O my Soule, and vnquiet within me? |
| A08273 | Why should I couet to fill and feed it with daintie and delicious fare? |
| A08273 | Why should I sweeten and perfume my out- part, to make it odoriferous to others, mine inward part resting yet odious to God? |
| A08273 | Why therefore should I, or you, that shall perchance suruiue me, be so sollicitous, and ouercarefull of worldly things? |
| A08273 | Without good care and diligence, no estate can prosper: and by industrie, the meanest estate is made competent: and what is labour? |

| A08273 | and disgracing the poore, be he neuer so vertuous? |
| A08273 | and doe I not euill, because I will not do euill? |
| A08273 | and doe wee not see daily GODS iust iudgements vpon diuers Countries& People, by fire, inundations of water, by pestilence, warres, and famine? |
| A08273 | and grudge at mine owne meane estate? |
| A08273 | and hath he not regard to such as are of a meane estate in this life? |
| A08273 | and leaueth hee the poore, forlorne and comfortlesse here? |
| A08273 | and shall I feare it? |
| A08273 | and shall I not thinke, that hee regardeth, ruleth, appointeth, and disposeth greater things that concerne mee? |
| A08273 | and that this bodie, this fleshly and corrupted part shall againe bee raised to glorie or shame, to partake of eyther, with the soule? |
| A08273 | and will not that charge impayre and diminish, euen that little that I haue? |
| A08273 | besides our owne; yea, moderne Histories witnes the same? |
| A08273 | but that I should goe into vtter obliuion, to an eternall sleepe, neuer to returne into any second existence? |

| A08273 | how can hee then bee said a louing Father vnto them? |
| A08273 | in which, are they not cōmanded to pray for their deliuerie? |
| A08273 | is it not like Ionahs Gourd, growing vp and withering all in a day? |

| A08273 | only a God of our godly Fathers? |
| A08273 | or expect worldly cōforts from him? |
| A08273 | or that GOD were a God, onely of the immortall soule, and not of the mortall bodie, or a God of Mercie, and not of Iustice? |

| A20871 | ( said I) had it not beene better that for the good of his natiue Cou ● trie a() endued with so manie peerlesse gifts, had yet liued? |

| A20871 | Amongst the Beastes is there anie that hath so seruile a lot in anothers behalfe as Man? |
| A20871 | And Man( though borne with cryes) shall pittie lacke? |
| A20871 | And can things wanting sense yet sorrow take, And beare a Part with him who all them wrought? |
| A20871 | And if it bee the worke of Nature, how should it not bee good? |
| A20871 | And leane to guilted Glories which decay? |
| A20871 | And lift a reuerend Eye and Thought to Heauen? |
| A20871 | Are the actions of the most part of men, much differing from the exercise of the Spider? |
| A20871 | As if the maister of a Campe, knew when to remoue a Sentinell, and Hee who placeth Man on the Earth, knew ● ot how long he had need of Him? |

| A20871 | Dost thou thinke thou leauest Life too soone? |
| A20871 | Hast thou not alreddy suffred enough of this World, but thou must yet endure more? |
| A20871 | How is not Death of Nature? |

| A20871 | Is it Greatnesse? |
| A20871 | Is it Knowledge? |
| A20871 | Is it Riches? |
| A20871 | Is not the entring into Life weaknesse? |
| A20871 | Most() then( answered I) Death is not such an euill and paine, as it is of the Vulgare esteemed? |
| A20871 | Nay, though it were most painfull, long continuing, and terrible, vglie why should wee feare it? |

| A20871 | Now Eyes with teares, now Hearts with griefe make great, Bemoane this cruell Death and drearie case, If euer Plaints iust W ● e could aggrauate? |
| A20871 | Now although Death were an extreame paine, sith it is in an instant, what can it bee? |
| A20871 | Now of this small indiuisible thing, thus compared, how much is couered with Waters? |
| A20871 | O how more sweet is Zephyres wholesome Breath, And Sighes embalm''d, which new- borne Flowres vnfold, Than that applause vaine Honour doth bequeath? |

| A20871 | They which fore- went vs did leaue a Roome for vs, and should we grieue to doe the same to those which should come after vs? |

| A20871 | To what sicknesse is it subject vnto, beyond those of the other Creatures? |
| A20871 | To what such sumptuous Temples, and care of the dead: to what all Religion? |

| A13996 | 15 Whether is the suddennesse of death in it selfe an euill? |
| A13996 | 16 Whether is it vnlawfull to lament the death of Parents, Children, Friends, Kinsfolkes, and honest Christians? |
| A13996 | 17 But of all the meanes of death: which are very many, which doth death most certainely follow and attend? |
| A13996 | 18 Of all, that die: who commonly forget themselues and die without sound repentance? |
| A13996 | 20 Who die most cheerefully, and with least discomfort? |
| A13996 | 21 Is there any thing in the world more certaine, and withall more vncertaine then death? |
| A13996 | 22 Doth death make no difference betweene the bodies of the rich and the poore, the noble and the simple? |
| A13996 | A little fire, a little water, a little waight, a little bullet, a bone, a flie, what not, who not? |
| A13996 | Alphonsus, asked what made all men equall? |
| A13996 | And Pindar likewise, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, O God, great vertues( and what greater then fortitude and pietie?) |
| A13996 | And are all these worldly differences among men become dead by death? |
| A13996 | And finally why should men wallow in their sinnes, and deuote themselues vnto their lusts? |
| A13996 | And finally, what if thou findest not all the workes of the Spirit in thee? |
| A13996 | And for externall meanes, how easily can any thing kill, if God permit? |
| A13996 | And how easily may death arrest vs? |
| A13996 | And how is it that the best Beleeuers die, seeing that their sinnes are vvashed away in the blood of Christ? |
| A13996 | And how many are there, that are a- fraid of death, and yet dare play with the sting of death? |
| A13996 | And who hath giuen vnto him first? |
| A13996 | Are we not all food for the Wormes? |
| A13996 | Are wee not more brittle( saith Saint Austen) then if we were of glasse? |
| A13996 | Balaam would not: no man would: yet in the meane time who vseth the means? |
| A13996 | But I demaund, why wouldest thou know the verie moment of thy death? |
| A13996 | But it may be asked if the magistrate may lawfully take away the life of an offender, seeing no man is absolute Lord of the life of man, but only God? |
| A13996 | But it may bee asked, how Infants can become guilty of that, they did not giue consent to? |
| A13996 | But it vvill bee obiected that Infants baptised haue no sinne, it beeing taken away in baptisme, how happes it then that Infants baptised die? |
| A13996 | But of all kindes of death, which is the best, and worst? |
| A13996 | But though wee keepe our selues neuer so well, yet death will steale vpon vs, and ouercome vs. For what is your life( saith Saint Iames?) |
| A13996 | But what need I goe so farre for examples? |
| A13996 | But why shouldest thou despaire? |
| A13996 | But why will not hee haue mercy on thee? |
| A13996 | But wouldst thou giue hope of the truth of thy turning? |
| A13996 | But you will say, How is it that Infants of a day olde doe dye, seeing that they commit no sinne? |
| A13996 | By whose power are we kept and guarded through faith vnto saluation, but by the power of God? |
| A13996 | Cast away all your transgressions: For why will yee die? |
| A13996 | Did hee not say to the Thiefe, that was crucified with him, To day shalt thou bee with mee in Paradise? |
| A13996 | Doe not othes, drunkennesse, pride, idlenesse, and hard- heartednesse abound? |
| A13996 | Doest thou despaire of mercie, as thinking that God can not helpe and pardon thee? |
| A13996 | Doest thou thinke that he will not heare thee, if thou callest? |
| A13996 | Doth any man loue the plague, the gout, the palsie, the stone, the crampe, the canker, or the dropsie? |
| A13996 | Doth hee not professe that his Martyrs are blessed, that they rest from their labors, and that their workes doe follow them? |
| A13996 | Eightly, Whether may death be said to be euill? |
| A13996 | Eightly, is it iniurious to God to say that hee drawes good out of euill, and vseth euills, as a wise Phisitian doth poison, vnto good? |
| A13996 | Euerie man would be saued, who would die? |
| A13996 | Eye wretch why doest thou weep? |
| A13996 | Fiftly, but whence is it that one man dieth sooner then another, that nature failes in one sooner then in another? |
| A13996 | Fiftly, doth God will no more, then his will is to worke himselfe? |
| A13996 | First, whether vpon any cause it be lawfull for a man( 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉) to kill himselfe? |
| A13996 | For I pray you, why should man lift vp himselfe against his Maker, who ere long must fall into the earth? |
| A13996 | For though it be true that the Scripture saith of Hezekiah, that God added fifteene yeares vnto his daies? |
| A13996 | For what praise is it, if when yee bee buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently? |
| A13996 | For where should the soules of men be after Death, but either in Heauen with Christ, or in Hell with the Diuell? |
| A13996 | For who doth confirme vs vnto the end, but God? |
| A13996 | For why should he feare death, whom death doth helpe, not hurt, and ease rather then end? |
| A13996 | Fourthly, is that, which is against the word, at any time done with the will of God? |
| A13996 | Fourthly, it may be demanded, when a man doth die, or when the soule doth leaue the bodie? |
| A13996 | He that the fates haue met with, what doth he seek, But things as fatall as the Fates, hee met with? |
| A13996 | How can they be saued? |
| A13996 | I aske thirdly, is God bound to the Martyrs to giue them courage, constancie, fidelitie patience? |
| A13996 | I demaund further, who giues them courage and conscience to suffer death? |
| A13996 | I say finally, what though thou feelst no grace? |
| A13996 | Is it because thou art a greeuous sinner? |
| A13996 | Is it because thou art not worthy of mercy? |
| A13996 | Is not God mercifull and tender- hearted? |
| A13996 | Is not our life a breath, a bubble? |
| A13996 | Is not sinne committed& countenanced? |
| A13996 | Is not the Sabbath commonly, and notoriously profaned? |
| A13996 | Is there no way with thee, thinkest thou, but death? |
| A13996 | Is this courage to kill thy selfe for feare of being killed by others? |
| A13996 | It may bee then demanded, if the soules of men dye not, when their bodies loose them, whether goe they, what becomes of them? |
| A13996 | Know ye not( saith Saint Paul that the vnrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdome of God? |
| A13996 | Nonne fragiliores sumus, quàm si vitrei essemus? |
| A13996 | Now it may be by the way demanded, Whether it bee lawfull to pray against sodaine death? |
| A13996 | Of all kindes of death considered simply without respect of grace, or sinne, which is the best? |
| A13996 | Of whom are we to desire strength, confirmation, perfection, and establishment but of God? |
| A13996 | Or doest thou despayre, because thou thinkest God will not forgiue thee? |
| A13996 | Quid fles miser, quid trepidas? |
| A13996 | Quis scit an adijciant hodiernae erastina summae tempora Dij superi? |
| A13996 | Secondly, it may againe be asked, what naturall death is properly? |
| A13996 | Secondly, may not a man will that with an vniust will, which God doth with an holy? |
| A13996 | Seuenthly, doth God make men sinners, or doth he onely order them? |
| A13996 | Seuenthly, what difference is there betwixt the death of a man, and of a beast? |
| A13996 | Shall all men then die? |
| A13996 | Shall not the earth deuoure him? |
| A13996 | Shall we not all die? |
| A13996 | Sixtly, doth not God will contrarie thinges, if he doe will those things, which he doth in his law forbid? |
| A13996 | Tell me, O vaine man, hath God made thee of his counsell; how canst thou thus thinke with reason? |
| A13996 | Thales said that death was no more euill, then a mans natiuitie: wherefore being asked by one, that heard him say so, Cur igitur tu non moreris? |
| A13996 | That thou mightest prepare thy selfe the better for it? |
| A13996 | The King is the Head of a Kingdome: what good Subiect or Seruant will not willingly glue his life to saue the life of his Soueraigne? |
| A13996 | Thinkest thou that God delights in thy death? |
| A13996 | Thirdly, Is it good that there should bee euill? |
| A13996 | Thirdly, it may be asked, what violent death is properly? |
| A13996 | We know that if our earthly house of this Tabernacle bee destroyed, wee haue a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternall in the heauens? |
| A13996 | Wee are now come to the second part of the Question, Whether may this Selfe- murder be forgiuen? |
| A13996 | What blessednes haue they now? |
| A13996 | What honour ought the liuing to performe vnto the dead? |
| A13996 | What made, who forced them to embrace the faith? |
| A13996 | What man liueth, and shall not see death? |
| A13996 | What need I say so much? |
| A13996 | What valour was in the Fishes in the Fable, which leapt out of the Frying panne into the fire? |
| A13996 | What would a man haue euill? |
| A13996 | What( sayth Saint Bernard) in humane things is there more certaine, then death, and what is found more vncertaine, then the houre of death? |
| A13996 | Whether is a man worse at his death, or at his birth? |
| A13996 | Whether is better to dye quickely, or to liue long? |
| A13996 | Whether is death to be feared? |
| A13996 | Whether is it lawfull for a man to hasten his death, that he might bee the sooner vvith Christ? |
| A13996 | Whether is it lawfull for a man to pray that God would tell him directly when hee shall leaue the world and die? |
| A13996 | Whether is it lawfull to desire death, or no? |
| A13996 | Whether is the day of a mans birth or death the better? |
| A13996 | Whether may a man pray against death? |
| A13996 | Which kinde of fatall foole- hardmesse Ouid doth elegantly set forth in these Verses, Qui rapitur fatis, quid praeter fat a requirit? |
| A13996 | Who fighteth with his lusts? |
| A13996 | Who honoureth his Minister as the man of God? |
| A13996 | Who is louing and obedient vnto the Church? |
| A13996 | Who is not so? |
| A13996 | Who is there( saith Tullie) though he a youth, who is certaine of his life till euening? |
| A13996 | Who knowes if God will let him liue to morrow? |
| A13996 | Who leaueth his sinnes? |
| A13996 | Who lesse able to answere for himselfe? |
| A13996 | Who thirsteth after Christ? |
| A13996 | Why doe not men know the very time, that is appointed for their deathes? |
| A13996 | Why doe not you die then, Thales? |
| A13996 | Why doest thou imagine that God hath no mercie for thee? |
| A13996 | Why not vpon God, who is an immortall, and immutable Good, only indeede able to giue true and full contentment to the soule? |
| A13996 | Why should a man haue an euil soule, that would haue a good bodie? |
| A13996 | Why should a man pinne his heart to the earth, and set his loue on the World? |
| A13996 | Why should we be proud and insolent, who are but dust? |
| A13996 | Why should we insult ouer any man, because wee surpasse him in wit, wealth, strength, honor, beautie? |
| A13996 | Why then should we we d our soules to the World? |
| A13996 | Will not death knocke all our bones together? |
| A13996 | Will not the world forsake him? |
| A13996 | Wilt thou not thinke to come thither at last, whither thou hast beene a going alwaies? |
| A13996 | Wilt thou therefore despaire? |
| A13996 | Wouldst thou bee armed against the feare of death? |
| A13996 | Wouldst thou haue comfort in thy death? |
| A13996 | Wrong not thy selfe: where is thy faith? |
| A13996 | Yea, but a despairing man will say, I haue beene a most grieuous sinner all my life long, how should I looke that God should forgiue mee? |
| A13996 | haue all men then in former ages died? |
| A13996 | shall he deliuer his soule from the hand of the Graue? |
| A13996 | what is their honour, if their soules doe dye with their bodies? |
| A13996 | what though thou beest nothing so good, as thou shouldst bee? |
| A13996 | who but he doth performe the good woorke begunne, vntill the day of Iesus Christ? |
| A13996 | who is worthy? |
| A13996 | why dost thou tremble? |
| A59840 | 12 Luke 16,& c. Thus how big are most men with projects and designs, which there is little hope should ever take effect, while they live? |
| A59840 | And do we not daily see young men die? |
| A59840 | And how could that be possibly known, if the trial of it had been reserved for an unknown state? |
| A59840 | And if we be men, why should we despise the pleasures of the mind? |
| A59840 | And is it not as necessary to repent of your sins to day, as ever it will be? |
| A59840 | And is there any reason in the World to expect it should be otherwise? |
| A59840 | And should not this make us very jealous and watchful over ourselves? |
| A59840 | And what a blessed place then would this World be to live in? |
| A59840 | And what a mean and contemptible Vice is Pride, whose subject and occasion is so mean and contemptible? |
| A59840 | Are we fond of bodily Pleasures? |
| A59840 | But you''ll say, Is there no place then for Repentance under the Gospel? |
| A59840 | But you''ll say, To what purpose is all this? |
| A59840 | Cease ye from man whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of? |
| A59840 | Do the Storms gather? |
| A59840 | Do we not know, what the power of habit and custom is? |
| A59840 | Do ye not all resolve to repent of your sins, and reform your lives, before ye die? |
| A59840 | Do you think there are no pleasures proper to the Soul? |
| A59840 | For can any Man be contented with a less degree of happiness, who knows there is a greater? |
| A59840 | For why should a man come into this World, and afterwards be removed into another, if this World had no relation, nor subordination to the next? |
| A59840 | For, 1. is any thing of more absolute necessity, than the Salvation of our Souls? |
| A59840 | Hast thou at any time an ill prospect before thee of private or publick Calamities? |
| A59840 | How are such men surprized, when any danger approaches? |
| A59840 | How can any man be said not to live out half his days, if he lives as long as God has decreed he shall live? |
| A59840 | How many die in the very act of Theft and Robbery? |
| A59840 | How many others have perished in the very act of Adultery, or which is much the same, in quarrelling for a Strumpet, in the rage and fury of Lust? |
| A59840 | If he must be judged according to what he hath done in the Body, how sad is his account, and how impossible is it for him to mend it now? |
| A59840 | If men make such improvements in Wickedness in twenty or thirty years, what would they do in hundreds? |
| A59840 | Is not Religion, and the care of our Souls, the work of every day, as much as eating and drinking to preserve our bodily health and strength is? |
| A59840 | Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? |
| A59840 | Many will say unto me at that day, that is, the Day of Judgment, when the Blessing is to be given, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? |
| A59840 | Must we not pray to God every day, and make his Laws the rule of our actions every day, and repent of our sins, and do what good we can every day? |
| A59840 | Nay, can we think, that he has given us the best things first, where we can only just tast them, and leave them behind us? |
| A59840 | Or was there a more divine Inhabitant, which animated this earthly Machine, which gave life, and beauty, and motion to it, but is now removed? |
| A59840 | The advice of the Psalmist is much better, What man is he, that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? |
| A59840 | There has been a very warm Dispute about the Perseverance of Saints, Whether those who are once in a state of Grace, shall always continue so? |
| A59840 | Thus what do Riches signifie, but to minister to the wants and conveniences and pleasures of the Body? |
| A59840 | Upon what account then, says the Apostle, could those men die, who lived, between Adam and Moses, before the Law was given, which threatens death? |
| A59840 | What Mariner is not glad that he has weathered all storms, and steered a safe course to his desired Haven? |
| A59840 | What am I better than the poorest Man, who beggs an Alms, unless I be wiser and more vertuous than he? |
| A59840 | What man would place his happiness in such enjoyments, which for ought he knows, he may be taken from to morrow? |
| A59840 | When you are come within view of the promised Land, will you suffer your hearts then to fail you? |
| A59840 | When you have out- rid all the storms and hurricanes of a tempting World for so many Years, will you suffer yourselves to be shipwracked in the Haven? |
| A59840 | Who was made to contemplate the wonders of Nature and Providence, and to admire and adore his Maker? |
| A59840 | Who would try, how long Death will delay its coming? |
| A59840 | Who would venture the infinite hazards of a Death- bed- repentance? |
| A59840 | Why should that be thought a sufficient reason for God to pardon, which we ourselves think no reason, in all other cases? |
| A59840 | Will the Holy Spirit dwell in such a Temple as is defiled with impure Lusts? |
| A59840 | Would any Father be at a great expence in educating his Child, only that he might die with a little Latine and Greek, Logick and Philosophy? |
| A59840 | and in thy name cast out devils? |
| A59840 | and in thy name done many wonderful works? |
| A59840 | and is the spending our youthful strength and vigour in sin, likely to dispose and prepare us to be sincere Penitents, when we grow old? |
| A59840 | and what great improvements do they make? |
| A59840 | and yet how necessary is the service of such men in the World? |
| A59840 | are not his days also like the days of an hireling? |
| A59840 | are the Clouds black and lowring, and charged with Thunder, and ready to break over thy head? |
| A59840 | are these the Riches, are these the Beauties and Glories of a Spirit? |
| A59840 | are we not all made of the same mould? |
| A59840 | are we ready to purchase them at any rate? |
| A59840 | are you sure of having another day to repent in, if you neglect this? |
| A59840 | can youth or beauty or strength secure us from the arrests of Death? |
| A59840 | dost thou hope to take up an eternal Rest here? |
| A59840 | for what hurt is it, if we do flatter ourselves a little more in this matter, than we have reason for? |
| A59840 | for who then could be saved? |
| A59840 | for would such men concern themselves to learn the Arts of living, who must die as soon as they have learnt them? |
| A59840 | have we Souls that are good for nothing? |
| A59840 | how do they enjoy themselves, and give life and spirit to the graver Age? |
| A59840 | how little do we remember, how they past? |
| A59840 | how little time would there be at the foot of the account, which might be called living? |
| A59840 | how long he may sin on safely, without thinking of Death or Judgment? |
| A59840 | how pleasant and diverting is their conversation, while it is innocent? |
| A59840 | how soon do they pass away like a Dream, and when they are gone, how few and empty do they appear? |
| A59840 | how the love of sin increases, with the repeated commission of it? |
| A59840 | how would it overcast all the pleasures and comforts of life? |
| A59840 | if we have Souls, why should we not reap the benefit and the pleasures of them? |
| A59840 | is it because our Lives are uncertain, and we may die before to morrow? |

| A27061 | And hast thou not far better and more in heaven? |
| A27061 | And if so, why then shouldst thou not be more willing to die, and be with Christ and all his holy ones, that are so much more excellent than we? |
| A27061 | And is it not hainous then to denie him with the heart and life; and to denie him the love and obedience that is Properly due to God? |
| A27061 | And is not this enough for us to know? |
| A27061 | And is not this the case of all those millions, whose souls now see the face of Christ? |

| A27061 | And may we not bear a while the sorrows that shall have so good an end? |
| A27061 | And rather here suffer with us, than reign in Heaven with Christ and us? |
| A27061 | And shall we grieve that they are not here, when to be here, would be their grief? |
| A27061 | And shall we not more boldly trust the will of God then of our dearest friend? |
| A27061 | And shall we stick at the uncloathing of our souls, in ord ● ● to their everlasting Rest? |
| A27061 | And shall we think much to dye ▪ for such a gain? |
| A27061 | And was Heaven the spring and motive of thy obedience, and the comfort of thy life? |
| A27061 | And will not he perfect the conquest which he hath begun? |
| A27061 | And would we be thus still? |
| A27061 | And yet he doth not therefore disown them, and turn them out of his family; but is tender of them in their froward weakness; because they are his own? |
| A27061 | Are thy friends lamenting thee, and grieved to see the signs of thy approaching death? |
| A27061 | Are we not all agreed that the Law of the Lord must be your delight and that you must meditate in it day and night? |
| A27061 | Are we not hasting after them at the heels, and do we not hope to live with them for ever? |
| A27061 | Art thou better then Noah, and Abraham, and David? |
| A27061 | Art thou loath to leave thy friends on earth? |
| A27061 | Art thou not delivered from the reign and tyranny of it, which thou wast once under? |
| A27061 | Art thou under pains, and consuming sicknesses? |
| A27061 | But if we might pass from Earth to Heaven, as from one room to another, what haste should we make in our desires? |
| A27061 | But now what a pillar is here for faith? |
| A27061 | But to our selves, that are brought out of Aegypt into the Wilderness, how desirable is the promised Land? |
| A27061 | But what comfort is all this to me that know not whether I have part in Christ or no? |
| A27061 | But what is it that an hypocrite will not do to escape Death? |
| A27061 | But when the glorious King of Peace hath put all his enemies under his feet, what then is left to make disturbance? |
| A27061 | But when we stand over the grave, and see our friends laid in the dust; how mortified do we seem? |
| A27061 | Can we have grace and not be weary of these corruptions? |
| A27061 | Can we have life, and not be pained with these diseases? |
| A27061 | Canst thou think that Christ hath purchased, and offered, and promised that which he will not give? |
| A27061 | Could we but come to Heaven as easily as innocent Adam might have done if he had conquered, what wings would it add to our desires? |
| A27061 | Couldst thou not joyfully see the coming of Christ, if it were this day( if thou have done thy work, and art assured of his love?) |
| A27061 | Did Christ ever shew himself unkind to thee? |
| A27061 | Did he ever give thee cause to think so poorly of his Love and grace, as thy doubts do intimate thou dost? |
| A27061 | Did he take flesh purposely that he might dye and rise, and shew us how he will raise his members? |
| A27061 | Did they not lie as thou dost, and die as thou must, and pass by death to the life which they have now attained? |
| A27061 | Didst thou pray for that which thou wouldst not have? |
| A27061 | Do they privily lay snares for me, and watch my halting, and seek advantage against my name, and liberty and life? |
| A27061 | Do they seem so hard and grievous to thee, that thou wilt venture thy soul in thy state of sin, rather then accept of them? |
| A27061 | Do you dislike the sins of Professors of Godliness? |
| A27061 | Do you know how near you are to judgement, and will you fearlesly thus heap up wrath, and lay in fewel for the everlasting flames? |
| A27061 | Do you love life, or do you not? |
| A27061 | Do you think they would wish themselves again on earth? |
| A27061 | Dost thou fear the dreafdul face of death? |
| A27061 | Dost thou know what thy Brethren are now enjoying, and what the heavenly Host are doing? |
| A27061 | Dost thou not hate it, and set thy self against it as thy enemy? |
| A27061 | Dost thou not know that all his children have their forwardness, and are guilty of their unkindnesses to him? |
| A27061 | Had you not far rather be thus changed then abide on earth? |
| A27061 | Hadst thou rather have liberty to commit it, or be delivered from it? |
| A27061 | Hadst thou rather travel with us, than dwell with us? |
| A27061 | Hast thou any thing here that thou shalt want in Heaven? |
| A27061 | Hast thou laboured for it, and denyed thy self the pleasures of the world for it? |
| A27061 | Hast thou not found him kind when thou wast unkind? |
| A27061 | Hath he conquered Death for himself alone, and not for us? |
| A27061 | Hath he not broken the heart of thy pride and worldliness, and sensuality and made thee a new Creature? |
| A27061 | Hath he taken our Nature into Heaven, to be there alone, and will he not have all his members with him? |
| A27061 | He was found of thee,( or rather found thee) when thou soughtest not after him: and can he reject thee now thou cryest and callest for his grace? |
| A27061 | How careful are we to keep in these Lamps, and to maintain the Oyl? |
| A27061 | How dealt he with the Disciples, that fell a sleep; when they should have watcht with Christ in the night of his great agony? |
| A27061 | How earnestly we should pray? |
| A27061 | How joyfully should we think and speak of Heaven? |
| A27061 | How joyfully will the soul and body meet, that were separated so long? |
| A27061 | How much the imitation of such examples would conduce to the sanctifying of families, is easie to be apprehended? |
| A27061 | How noble a creature doth it destroy? |
| A27061 | How readily would our Thoughts run out to Christ? |
| A27061 | How seriously should we meditate and confer of Heaven? |
| A27061 | How terrible is Death to an earthly- minded man, that had neglected his soul for a treasure here, which must then be dissipated in a moment? |
| A27061 | I would ask thee, Whether thou see not a beauty in Holiness, which is the Image of Christ, and whether thy soul do not desire it even in perfection? |
| A27061 | If it be a sin to crack our faith by some particular error, what is it to dash it all to peices? |
| A27061 | If it be odious in your eyes, to denie some particular Ordinance of God, what is it to neglect or Prophane them all? |
| A27061 | If not, why are you afraid of death? |
| A27061 | If so, I would know of thee, whether this be not from the spirit of Christ within thee? |
| A27061 | If so, be assured that it is not without Holyness, that thou choosest and preferrest Holyness? |
| A27061 | If thou hadst no sin, what use hadst thou of a Saviour? |
| A27061 | If thou say that it is not his unkindness, but thy own that feeds thy doubts; I further ask thee, Is he not kind to the unkind? |
| A27061 | If you ask, How is all this to be ascribed to Christ? |
| A27061 | If you do, why then are you loath to pass into everlasting life? |
| A27061 | Indeed we may say, O Death, Where is thy sting? |
| A27061 | Is it Christ that your heart is thus a verse to, or is it only Death that standeth in the way? |
| A27061 | Is it God and Heaven, or is it Death? |
| A27061 | Is it not for Christ& his benefits, that thy heart thus worketh, and thou dost all this? |
| A27061 | Is it nothing to be dead in sins and trespasses? |
| A27061 | Is it seemly for thee to lament thus at the door, when they are feasted with such unconceivable joys within? |
| A27061 | Is not all this grievous to an honest heart? |
| A27061 | Is not this the case of manie among you? |
| A27061 | Is the presence of Christ less desirable in thy eyes, than the presence of such sinful worms as we, whom thou art loath to part with? |
| A27061 | Is there a gracious soul, that groaneth not under the burden of these miseries? |
| A27061 | Is there no remedie? |
| A27061 | Is this a time to fear and mourn, when thou art entring into endless joy? |
| A27061 | Let Faith take a view of him that was dead and is alive, that was buried and is risen, and was humbled and is now exalted? |
| A27061 | Moreover, art thou not truly willing to yield to all the terms of grace? |
| A27061 | Must he therefore plead against his Physician? |
| A27061 | Must not your Teachers say, He sent to you, and was willing to have done his part, and you refused? |
| A27061 | Must there a place be empty, and a voice be wanting in the Heavenly Chore, Iest we should miss our friends on earth? |
| A27061 | Must thy tender flesh be turned to rottenness and dust? |
| A27061 | Must we let them go? |
| A27061 | Nay what a treasure of everlasting consequence do these two words express? |
| A27061 | Now, if we will vigorously appear for God, against a sinful generation, how many will appear against us? |
| A27061 | O Sirs, do you know what you are doing? |
| A27061 | O What a brutish thing is flesh? |
| A27061 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
| A27061 | O what should we do for the saving if careless, senseless souls? |
| A27061 | Once thou wast a despiser of God and his holy wayes: but now it is far otherwise with thee? |
| A27061 | Or dost thou not love their names, and wouldst thou not be with them? |
| A27061 | Shall the face of death discourage us from desiring such a blessed day? |
| A27061 | Shall the happiness of our friends be our sorrow and lamentation? |
| A27061 | Shall we believe, and fly from the end of our belief? |
| A27061 | Shall we desire and pray, and be afraid of attaining our desires, and lest our prayers should be heard? |
| A27061 | Shall we hope, and be loath to enjoy our hopes? |
| A27061 | Shall we spend our lives in labour and travel, and be afraid of comming to our journeys end? |
| A27061 | She was very exemplary in self- denial and humility: And having said thus much, what abundance have I comprehended? |
| A27061 | Suppose that I, and such as I, were the friends that thou art loath to leave: What if we had dyed long before thee? |
| A27061 | Tell me plainly, hadst thou rather keep thy sin, or leave it? |
| A27061 | The Lord doth gently question with him[ Dost thou well to be angry?] |
| A27061 | The deterred, discouraged soul moves slowly in the way of life: Whereas if Death were not in our way, how chearfully should we run towards Heaven? |
| A27061 | Then where is the man that will stand forth, and break a jest at godliness, or make a scorn of the holy diligence of Believers? |
| A27061 | They were once on earth as low as we: and we shall be shortly in heaven, as high as they: Am I now in flesh, in fears, in griefs? |
| A27061 | What a bondage is it, that our souls are so entangled with the creatures? |
| A27061 | What a multitude of the most hainous sins are daily committed through the fears of death? |
| A27061 | What a word of Hope and Joy is this, that[ Christ is risen?] |
| A27061 | What an unreasonable thing is unbelief? |
| A27061 | What an unspeakable comfort would this be to a dying man? |
| A27061 | What else is Deaah but the ending of our Time? |
| A27061 | What if the patient understand not how blood- letting cureth the infected blood that is left behind? |
| A27061 | What is it that is ungrateful to you in your meditations of your change? |
| A27061 | What saith thy heart now to those terms? |
| A27061 | What suffering then can be so great, in which a believer should not rejoyce, when he is before hand promised a gracious end? |
| A27061 | What terrour will seize upon those hearts, that here were wo nt to make themselves sport at the weaknesses of the upright servants of the Lord? |
| A27061 | What then wilt thou think of all these disquieting, distrustful Thoughts that now so wrong thy Lord and thee? |
| A27061 | What though at the present it be not joyous, but greivous( in it self?) |
| A27061 | What was it that that rejoyced thee all thy life, in thy prayers, and sufferings, and labours? |
| A27061 | What 〈 ◊ 〉 doth it cost our ▪ Parents ▪ and our selves to make provision for this Life? |
| A27061 | What? |
| A27061 | When we have so full assurance, that at last this enemy also shall be destroyed? |
| A27061 | Where there is one on earth, how many are there in Heaven? |
| A27061 | Who is so mad, as wilfully to sin with Death in his eye? |
| A27061 | Who then is the wise and knowing man amongst you? |
| A27061 | Who would not enter willingly into the fight, when he may before hand be assured, that the field shall be cleared of every enemy? |
| A27061 | Who would not submit to any labour or toyl for a day, that he might win a life of plenty and delight by it? |
| A27061 | Why dost thou doubt( poor humbled soul) of thy interest in Christ, that must make the conquest? |
| A27061 | Why shouldst thou be afraid to go the way that all the Saints have gone before thee? |
| A27061 | Why then art thou not as loath to stay from them? |
| A27061 | Why thus it was once with the millions that are now triumphing with their Lord? |
| A27061 | Will thy Physitian therefore cast thee off, because thou art sick? |
| A27061 | Would it not rejoyce your hearts, if you were sure to live, to see the coming of the Lord, and to see his glorious appearing and retinue? |
| A27061 | Wouldst thou have our company? |
| A27061 | Yea hath not Christ already subdued so many of thy enemies, as may assure thee he will subdue the rest? |
| A27061 | and be not his Image it self upon thee? |
| A27061 | and begun that life in thee, which may assure thee of eternal life? |
| A27061 | and canst thou think it seemly to be so unlike them, that are passing to them? |
| A27061 | and is not this a pledge that he will do the rest? |
| A27061 | and must thou lie in darkness till the Resurrection, and thy body remain as the Common earth? |
| A27061 | and now art thou afraid to enter in? |
| A27061 | and part with any thing to attain it? |
| A27061 | and say, It will not be done, because he knoweth not how it s done? |
| A27061 | and shall thy approaches to it be thy sorrows? |
| A27061 | and shall we grudge that they are gone a day, or week, or year, before us? |
| A27061 | and so detained from the love of God? |
| A27061 | and that he thought on thee when thou didst not think on him? |
| A27061 | and that his blood and grace is sufficient to save thee, from greater sins then those that trouble thee? |
| A27061 | and that if you live after the flesh ye shall die? |
| A27061 | and that thou shouldst cast away the joy of the Lord which is thy strength, and gratifie the enemy of thy peace? |
| A27061 | and that you must first seek the Kingdom of God& his Righteousness? |
| A27061 | and the motions of the new and heavenly nature, which is begotten in thee by the Holy Ghost? |
| A27061 | and what can be more necessary to a comfortable end, then faithfully to use it while we have it? |
| A27061 | and where we must live for ever, than where we must be but for so short a time? |
| A27061 | and whether it be not only a lothness to die, and not a lothness to be with Christ? |
| A27061 | and who doth not dread the name, or at least the face of Death? |
| A27061 | and will he after all this, break his promise, and leave us in the dust for ever? |
| A27061 | and will he now forget thee, and end in wrath that begun in Love? |
| A27061 | and will you live as if you had nothing but the world to mind, when you are even readie to step into the endless world? |
| A27061 | and yet had we rather dwell with sin, in tempting, troubling, corruptible flesh, then lay them by, and dwell with Christ? |
| A27061 | and yet will you now stand loitering; and quarrelling, and jesting, and dallying in the matters of salvation? |
| A27061 | and yet wilt thou pass into it with heaviness? |
| A27061 | are thine eyes held waking; and doth trouble and sorrow wast thy spirits? |
| A27061 | are we not all agreed, that God is to be preferred before the world? |
| A27061 | do they weep when they see thy pale face, and consumed body, and when they hear thy sighs and groans? |
| A27061 | doth thy flesh and thy heart fail thee, and thy friends prove silly comforters to thee? |
| A27061 | especially when they lament their own unkindness? |
| A27061 | how bitterly will they reproach us? |
| A27061 | how falsly will they slander us, and say all manner of evil against us? |
| A27061 | how full they are of God and how they are ravished with his Light and Love? |
| A27061 | or is it only because you fear lest you have no interest in his Love, and shall not attain the blessedness which you desire? |
| A27061 | or unwilling to receive thee, and have mercy on thee? |
| A27061 | or who so dead, as with Death in his eye, to refuse to live a godly life, if he have any spiritual light and feeling? |
| A27061 | or would they take it kindly of you, if you could bring them down again into this world, though it were to reign in wealth and honour? |
| A27061 | our thoughts of it would be still sweet, and these would be a powerful Spring to action? |
| A27061 | shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
| A27061 | so did they by David, and many other now with Christ? |
| A27061 | that we find continually so much of the creature, and so little of God upon our hearts? |
| A27061 | then Peter and Paul and all the Saints? |
| A27061 | was it not the hopes of heaven? |
| A27061 | where no more complainings shall be heard from our mouths, nor no more sorrow shall possess our hearts? |
| A27061 | who would not be spit upon, and made the scorn of the world for a day, if he might have his will for it as long as he liveth on earth? |
| A27061 | would it not be the greatest joy that you could desire? |
| A27061 | would you not gladly do it? |
| A27061 | yea, in every prayer, what do we else but confess them, and lament them, and groan for help, and for deliverance? |
| A27048 | 8.35, 36. to the end[ Who shall separate us from the love of God? |

| A27048 | And is it not haynous then to deny him with the heart and life; and to deny him the love and obedience that is properly due to God? |
| A27048 | And is not this enough for us to know? |
| A27048 | And is not this the case of all those millions, whose souls now see face of Christ? |
| A27048 | And is there any thing in this that thy soul is against, and which thou dost not value above this wor ● d? |
| A27048 | And may we not bear a while the sorrows that shall have so good an end? |
| A27048 | And shall death seem intolerable to us, that letteth in our souls to Christ? |
| A27048 | And shall we grieve that they are not here, when to be here, would be their grief? |
| A27048 | And shall we not more boldly trust the will of God then of our dearest friend? |
| A27048 | And shall we stick at the uncloathing of our souls, in order to their everlasting Rest? |
| A27048 | And shall we think much to die for such a gain? |
| A27048 | And was Heaven the spring and motive of thy obedience, and the comfort of thy life? |
| A27048 | And will not he perfect the conquest which he hath begun? |
| A27048 | And would we be thus still? |
| A27048 | And yet he doth not therefore disown them, and turn them out of his family; but is tender of them in their froward weakness, because they are his own? |
| A27048 | And yet we say, we believe, and hope, and labour, and wait for the same felicity ● Shall the happiness of our friends be our sorrow and lamentation? |
| A27048 | Are thy friends lamenting thee, and grieved to see the signs of thy approaching death? |
| A27048 | Are we not hasting after them at the heels, and do we not hope to live with them for ever? |
| A27048 | Art thou better then Noah, and Abraham, and David? |
| A27048 | Art thou loath to leave thy friends on earth? |
| A27048 | Art thou not delivered from the reign and tyranny of it, which thou wast once under? |
| A27048 | Art thou under pains, and consuming sicknesses? |
| A27048 | But if we might pass from earth to heaven, as from one room to another, what haste should we make in our desires? |
| A27048 | But now what a pillar is here for faith? |
| A27048 | But to our selves, that are brought out of Aegypt into the Wilderness, how desirable is the promised Land? |
| A27048 | But what comfort is all this to me that know not whether I have part in Christ or no? |
| A27048 | But what is it that an hypocrite will not do to escape Death? |
| A27048 | But when the glorious King of peace hath put all his enemies under his feet, what then is left to make disturbance? |
| A27048 | But when we stand over the grave, and see our friends laid in the dust, how mortified do we seem? |
| A27048 | Can we have grace and not be weary of these corruptions? |
| A27048 | Can we have life, and not be pained with these diseases? |
| A27048 | Canst thou think that Christ hath purchased, and offered, and promised that which he will not give? |
| A27048 | Could we but come to Heaven as easily as innocent Adam might have done if he had conquered, what wings would it add to our desires? |
| A27048 | Couldst thou not joyfully see the coming of Christ, if it were this day( if thou have done thy work, and art assured of his love?) |
| A27048 | Did Christ ever shew himself unkind to thee? |
| A27048 | Did he ever give thee cause to think so poorly of his Love and grace, as thy doubts do intimate thou dost? |
| A27048 | Did he take flesh purpose ● y that he might die and rise, and shew us how he will raise his members? |
| A27048 | Did men but know the difference between the death of the holy and the unholy, which doth not appear to fleshly eyes, how speedily would they turn? |
| A27048 | Did they not lie as thou dost, and die as thou must, and pass by death to the life which they have now attained? |
| A27048 | Didst thou pray for that which thou wouldst not have? |
| A27048 | Do they privily lay snares for me, and watch my halting, and seek advantage against my name, and liberty and life? |
| A27048 | Do they seem so hard and grievous to thee, that thou wilt venture thy soul in thy state of sin, rather then accept of them? |
| A27048 | Do you dislike the sins of the Professors af Godliness? |
| A27048 | Do you know how near you are to judgement, and will you fearlesly thus heap up wrath, and lay in fewell for the everlasting flames? |
| A27048 | Do you love l ● fe, or do you not? |
| A27048 | Do you think they would wish themselves again on earth? |
| A27048 | Dost thou fear the dreadfull: face of death? |
| A27048 | Dost thou know what thy Brethren are now enjoying,& what the Heavenly Host are doing? |
| A27048 | Dost thou not hate it, and set thy self against it as thy enemy? |
| A27048 | Dost thou not know that all his children have their frowardness, and are guilty of their unkindnesses to him? |
| A27048 | Had you not far rather be thus changed then abide on earth? |
| A27048 | Hadst thou rather have liberty to commit it, or be delivered from it? |
| A27048 | Hadst thou rather travail with us, then dwell with us? |
| A27048 | Hast thou laboured for it, and denyed thy self the pleasures of the world for it? |
| A27048 | Hast thou not found him kind when thou wast unkind, and that he thought on thee when thou didst not think on him? |
| A27048 | Hath he conquered death for himself alone, and not for us? |
| A27048 | Hath he not broken the heart of thy pride and worldliness, and sensuality and made thee a new creature? |
| A27048 | Hath he taken our Nature into Heaven, to be there alone and will he not have all his members with him? |
| A27048 | He was found of thee,( or rather found thee) when thou soughtest not after him: and can be reject thee now thou criest and callest for his grace? |
| A27048 | How carefull are we to keep in these lamps, and to maintain the oyl? |
| A27048 | How dealt he with the Disciples, that fell asleep, when they should have watcht with Christ in the night of his great agony? |
| A27048 | How earnestly should we pray? |
| A27048 | How grievous is it to us that we can love him no more, nor be more assured of his love to us? |
| A27048 | How joyfully should we think and speak of Heaven? |
| A27048 | How joyfully will the soul& body meet, that were separated so long? |
| A27048 | How much the imitation of such examples would conduce to the sanctifying of families, is easie to be apprehended? |
| A27048 | How noble a creature doth it destroy? |
| A27048 | How readily would our Thoughts run out to Christ? |
| A27048 | How seriously should we meditate and conser of Heaven? |
| A27048 | How terrible is death to an earthly- minded man that had neglected his soul for a treasure here, which must then be dissipated in a moment? |
| A27048 | If it be a sin to crack our faith by some particular error, what is it to dash it all to pieces? |
| A27048 | If it be odious in your eyes, to deny some particular Ordinance of God, what is it to neglect or prophane them all? |
| A27048 | If not, why are you afraid of death? |
| A27048 | If so, I would know of thee, whether this be not from the spirit of Christ within thee? |
| A27048 | If so, be assured that it is not without Holiness, that thou choosest and preferrest Holiness? |
| A27048 | If thou hadst no sin, what use hadst thou of a Saviour? |
| A27048 | If thou say that it is not his unkindness, but thy own that feeds thy doubts; I further ask thee, Is he not kind to the unkind? |
| A27048 | If you ask, How is all this to be ascribed to Christ? |
| A27048 | If you do, why then are you loth to pass into everlasting life? |
| A27048 | Indeed we may say, O Death, where is thy sting? |
| A27048 | Is it Christ that your heart is thus averse to, or is it only Death that standeth in the way? |
| A27048 | Is it God and heaven, or is it Death? |
| A27048 | Is it not for Christ and his benefits that thy heart thus worketh, and thou dost all this? |
| A27048 | Is it nothing to be dead in sins and trespasses? |
| A27048 | Is it seemly for thee to lament thus at the door, when they are feasted with such unconceivable joys within? |
| A27048 | Is not all this grievous to an honest heart? |
| A27048 | Is not this the case of many among you? |
| A27048 | Is the presence of Christ less desirable in thy eyes, then the presence of such sinfull worms as we, whom thou art loth to part with? |
| A27048 | Is there a gracious soul, that groaneth not under the burden of these miseries? |
| A27048 | Is there no remedy? |
| A27048 | Is this a time to fear and mourn, when thou art entring into endless joy? |
| A27048 | It is hard to win their hearts to such a state of Hap ● in ● ss, that can not be obtained but by yielding unto death? |
| A27048 | Moreover art thou not truly willing to yield to all the terms of grace? |
| A27048 | Must not your Teacher say, He sent to you, and was willing to have done his part, and you refused? |
| A27048 | Must there a place be empty, and a voice be wanting in the Heavenly Chore, lest we should miss our friends on earth? |
| A27048 | Must thy tender flesh be turned t ● rotness and dust? |
| A27048 | Must we let them go? |
| A27048 | Nay what a treasure of everlasting consequence, do these two words express? |
| A27048 | Now if we will vigorously appear for God, against a sinfull generation, how many will appear against us? |
| A27048 | O Sirs, do you know what you are doing? |
| A27048 | O grave where is thy Victory? |
| A27048 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
| A27048 | O what a brutish thing is flesh? |
| A27048 | O what should we do for the saving of careless, senseless souls? |
| A27048 | Once thou wast a despiser of God and his holy wayes: but now it is far otherwise with thee? |
| A27048 | Or dost thou not love their names, and wouldst thou not be with them? |
| A27048 | Our thoughts of it would be still sweet, and these would be a powerfull Spring to action? |
| A27048 | Shall the face of death discourage us from desiring such a bessed day? |
| A27048 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
| A27048 | Shall we believe, and fly from the end of our belief? |
| A27048 | Shall we desire and pray, and be afraid of attaining our desires, and lest our prayers should be heard? |
| A27048 | Shall we hope, and be loth to enjoy our hopes? |
| A27048 | Shall we spend our lives in labour and travail, and be affraid of coming to our journeys end? |
| A27048 | She was very Exemplary in self- denyal and humility: And having said this much, what abundance have I comprehended? |
| A27048 | Suppose that I, and such as I, were the friends that thou art loth to leave: What if we had dyed long before thee? |
| A27048 | Take heed lest Christ say,[ I have lent them my messengers long enough in vain; From henceforth never fruit grow on them? |
| A27048 | Tell me plainly, hadst thou rather keep thy sin, or leave it? |
| A27048 | The Lord doth gently question with him[ Dost thou well to be angry?] |
| A27048 | The deterred, discouraged soul moves slowly in the way of life: Whereas if Death were not in our way, how chearfully should we run towards Heaven? |
| A27048 | Then where is the man that will stand forth and break a jest at godliness, or make a scorn of the holy diligence of believers? |
| A27048 | They were once on earth as low as we: and we shall be shortly in heaven, as high as they: Am I now in flesh, in fears, in griefs? |
| A27048 | We should long so earnestly to be in Heaven, if Death were not in the way, that nothing could easily stop us in our course? |
| A27048 | What a bondage is it, that our souls are so entangled with the creatures? |
| A27048 | What a multitude of the most haynous sins are daily committed through the fears of death? |
| A27048 | What a word of Hope and Joy is this, that[ Christ is risen?] |
| A27048 | What an unreasonable thing is unbelief? |
| A27048 | What an unspeakable comfort would this be to a dying man? |
| A27048 | What else is Death but the ending of our Time? |
| A27048 | What if the patient understand not how blood letting cureth the infected blood that is left behind? |
| A27048 | What is it that is ungrateful to you in your meditations of your change? |
| A27048 | What saith thy heart now to those terms? |
| A27048 | What suffering then can be so great, in which a believer should not rejoyce, when he is before hand promised a gracious end? |
| A27048 | What then wilt thou think of all these disquieting distrustfull thoughts that now so wrong thy Lord and thee? |
| A27048 | What though at the present it be not joyous, but grievous( in it self?) |
| A27048 | What was it that rejoyced thee all thy life, in thy prayers, and sufferings, and labours? |
| A27048 | What way so ● owl that we would not travail, to our beloved home? |
| A27048 | What? |
| A27048 | When we have so full assurance, that at last this enemy also shall be destroyed? |
| A27048 | Where there is one on earth, how many are there in Heaven? |
| A27048 | Who is so mad as wilfully to sin with Death in his eye? |
| A27048 | Who then is the wise and knowing man amongst you? |
| A27048 | Who would not be spit upon, and made the scorn of the world for a day, if he might have his will for it as long as he liveth on earth? |
| A27048 | Who would not enter willingly into the fight, when he may before hand be assured, that the field shall be cleared of every enemy? |
| A27048 | Who would not submit to any labour or toyl for a day, that he might win a life of plenty and delight by it? |
| A27048 | Why dost thou doubt( poor humbled soul) of thy interest in Christ, that must make the conquest? |
| A27048 | Why then art thou not as loth to stay from them? |
| A27048 | Why thus it was once with the millions that are now triumphing with their Lord? |
| A27048 | Will thy Physitian therefore cast thee off, because thou art sick? |
| A27048 | Would it not rejoyce your hearts, if you were sure to live, to see the coming of the Lord, and to see his glorious appearing and retinue? |
| A27048 | Wouldst thou have our company? |
| A27048 | Wy shouldst thou be afraid to go the way that all the Saints have gone before thee? |
| A27048 | Yea hath not Christ already subdued so many of thy enemies, as may assure thee he will subdue the rest? |
| A27048 | and be not his Image it self upon thee? |
| A27048 | and begun that life in thee, which may assure thee of eternal life? |
| A27048 | and canst thou think it seemly to be so unlike them, that art passing to them? |
| A27048 | and is not this a pledge that he will do the rest? |
| A27048 | and must thou lie in darkness till the Resurrection, and thy body remain as the Common earth? |
| A27048 | and now art thou afraid to enter in? |
| A27048 | and part with any thing to attain it? |
| A27048 | and rather here suffer with us then reign in heaven with Christ and us? |
| A27048 | and shall thy approaches to it be thy sorrows? |
| A27048 | and shall we grudge that they are gone a day, or week, or year before us? |
| A27048 | and should we not be so far weary of such a life as this, as to be willing to depart and be with Christ? |
| A27048 | and so detained from the love of God? |
| A27048 | and that he that hath not the Spirit of Christ is none of his? |
| A27048 | and that his blood and grace is sufficient to save thee, from greater sins then those that trouble thee? |
| A27048 | and that no man can be saved except he be converted and born again? |
| A27048 | and that thou shouldst cast away the joy of the Lord which is thy strength, and gratifie the enemy of thy peace? |
| A27048 | and that you must first seek the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness? |
| A27048 | and the motions of the new and heavenly nature, which is begotten in thee by the Holy Ghost? |
| A27048 | and what can be more necessary to a comfortable end, then faithfully to use it while we have it? |
| A27048 | and whether it be not only lothness to die, and not a lothness to be with Christ? |
| A27048 | and who doth not dread the name, or at least the face of Death? |
| A27048 | and will he after all this break his promise, and leave us in the dust for ever? |
| A27048 | and will he now forget thee, and end in wrath that begun in Love? |
| A27048 | and wouldst thou not be thus perfected in soul and body? |
| A27048 | and yet had we rather dwell with sin, in tempting, troubling, corruptible flesh, then lay them by, and dwell with Christ? |
| A27048 | and yet wilt thou pass into it with heaviness? |
| A27048 | are thine eyes held waking, and doth trouble and sorrow waste thy spirit? |
| A27048 | are we not all agreed, that God is to be preferred before the world? |
| A27048 | do they weep when they see thy pale face, and consumed body, and when they hear the sighs and groans? |
| A27048 | doth they flesh in thy heart fail thee, and thy friends prove silly comforters to thee? |
| A27048 | especially when they lament their own unkindness? |
| A27048 | how bitterly will they reproach us? |
| A27048 | how carefully would they live? |
| A27048 | how constantly, painfully and resolvedly w ● uld they labour? |
| A27048 | how falsly will they slander us, and say all manner of evil against us? |
| A27048 | how fervently would they pray? |
| A27048 | how full they are of God, and how they are ravished with his Light and Love? |
| A27048 | how seriously would they meditate? |
| A27048 | must he therefore plead against his Physitian, and say, It will not be done, because he knoweth not how it s done? |
| A27048 | or is it only because you fear lest you have no interest in his Love, and shall not attain the blessedness which you desire? |
| A27048 | or unwilling to receive thee, and have mercy on thee? |
| A27048 | or who so dead as with death in h ● s eye, to refuse to live a godly life, if he have any spiritual light and feeling? |
| A27048 | or would they take it kindly of you, if you could bring them down again into this world, though it were to reign in wealth and honour? |
| A27048 | so did they by David, and many other now with Christ? |
| A27048 | that such horrid thoughts of unbelief should look into our minds, and stay so long, and be so familiar with us? |
| A27048 | that we find continually so much of the creature, and so little of God upon our hearts? |
| A27048 | the love of life, and the love of ease; the fear of death, and the fear of suffering? |
| A27048 | then Peter& Paul and all the Saints? |
| A27048 | was it not the hopes of heaven? |
| A27048 | would it not be the greatest joy that you could desire? |
| A27048 | would you not gadly do it? |
| A27048 | yea, in every prayer, what do we else but confess them, and lament them, and groan for help, and for deliverance? |
| A27048 | ● nd will you live as if you had nothing but the world to mind, when you are even ready to step into the endless world? |
| A02361 | & doth not the flower called Heliotropium more? |

| A02361 | And in truth, who wold not laugh, when among other things they say, that only a wise man is truely a king, rich& beautifull? |
| A02361 | And is it not very reasonable not to depraue them which cease to be, seeing they are not to bee layd hold on? |
| A02361 | And therefore calling Plato out of his graue, hee demands of him, how it is possible the soule should be immortall? |
| A02361 | And thou the Queene of Nations, falsesly held to be eternall, where art thou? |

| A02361 | And who is assured that there are not many worlds? |

| A10215 | Shall I dare to say, that this stinking Carkasse heere is the fayre Helena? |
| A10215 | Since my God hath put Thornes on his head, why should not I be putting them in my hart? |
| A10215 | Since repose seemes as naturally sweet vnto vs, why haue we not the Eternity therof? |
| A10215 | Soules of the world, demaund of your Eyes, what are become of those obiects, which so often they haue admired? |
| A10215 | Suppose thou wert the absolute Mistresse of the world, what good couldst thou hope for in the fruition therof, if all be replete with euils? |
| A10215 | Tel vs the pleasure which is to dye, since you dy so sweetly in the extasies of your felicities? |
| A10215 | Tell vs I pray thee, Lucullus, what are become of the delights of thy proud Feasts? |
| A10215 | That Pleasure and Feare can not couple together? |
| A10215 | That this heape of rotten bones are the sad spoyles of her perfectiōs? |
| A10215 | That this sinke of infection should make you shed so many teares, and send so many sighes into the wind? |
| A10215 | The Crowne of Thornes he misseth; but what say I? |

| A10215 | The Sunne hath beene darkned at the sight of our cryme, and shall not we wax pale for sorrow, of committing the same? |
| A10215 | The earth hath quaked, and shall not our hearts seeme to tremble for feare? |
| A10215 | The lake of Auernus where troubles and sadnes inhabite, what els may it seeme to represent vnto vs, then the dismall dwelling of the wicked Spirits? |

| A10215 | Thinke you, belike, they dare not medle with those pourtraits, which are but vayne shadowes of a body of smoke? |
| A10215 | This is the lesson of that great Prophet, when he cryed, Lord, when shall I be able to quench my thirst in the spring of thy eternall pleasures? |
| A10215 | Thou proud and ambitious Man, tell vs, I pray thee, what are thy pleasures? |
| A10215 | To be in the cōpany of deuils for euer, doth not the thought thereof only seeme to astonish you, since there is nothing more true then it? |
| A10215 | To liue, is no more then to be sequestred from that which one loues: and after God, what may we loue? |

| A10215 | With what rauishments of Ioy art thou transported besides thy selfe? |

| A10215 | and how exceedingly am I enamoured with them( saith the same Prophet?) |
| A10215 | and in Trauayle, but Rest? |

| A10215 | and that during the tyme it selfe, that Tyme affoards them vnto you, he takes euen them away from you? |
| A10215 | and therfore the Prophet sayth; shall I neuer leaue a place so foule, so filthy, and so full of treasons and deceipts? |
| A10215 | and with how many tortures shall the one,& the other be rackt? |
| A10215 | but a myre of Swyne; a Galley of Slaues? |
| A10215 | but an Army of Mutiners? |
| A10215 | but what likelyhood is there to find it there? |
| A10215 | can Maiesty& corruption be compatible together? |
| A10215 | do you find your selfe, trow you, in a good estate, to present your selfe before a dreadful Iudge, who hath so many Hells to punish the guilty? |
| A10215 | for a handful of earth, will you relinquish the pretensions you haue to heauen? |
| A10215 | how many liuing deathes deuoure this poore body, before her life be snatched away at last? |
| A10215 | how now, my Soule, wilt thou see buried with a dry eye, whatsoeuer Nature hath more faire, the Earth more rich,& Art more precious? |
| A10215 | how the pourtraite of this Dame ▪ which I see there hanging at her beds head, is differēt far from its originall? |
| A10215 | if it should neuer haue an end with our euill? |
| A10215 | is it not to be cruell to ones selfe to precipitate his paces to the Tomb- wards, as if we dyed not soone inough? |
| A10215 | knowest thou not, how the self same fate which affords thee Crownes& Scepters, takes them away againe when it pleaseth? |
| A10215 | or els at such tyme, as he were seene to be taken with a mortall disease? |
| A10215 | or rather from the subiect of thy loue, with the same subiect it selfe? |
| A10215 | say we yet more, those two fayre Suns, arriued now at their last West, whose splendour euer blinded the whole world? |
| A10215 | that for a small number of daies, you will stād so much to please men, and be displeasing of God for a whole Eternity? |
| A10215 | what dolours do they feele in this cruell departure? |
| A10215 | what stability can we establish in their being? |
| A10215 | what will you do, when you dye, with your treasures? |
| A10215 | wherfore art thou proud, since thou art but flesh in apparence,& putrifaction in effect? |
| A10215 | with how many assaults of griefe, shall you haue your hart thē battered? |
| A10215 | you thinke your selfe content to day because nothing afflicts you; do you cal that pleasure to runne after pleasure? |
| A41843 | ( O me slighter of the everlasting Salvation) whither am I now going? |
| A41843 | 10. for hee hath cloathed thee with the garments of Salvation, and hee hath covered thee with the robe of righteousnesse: O what robes are these? |
| A41843 | 14. where Iob reckoning over many good deeds done by himself, saith, What then shall I do when God riseth up? |
| A41843 | 21 Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed to the end of the world, to those that are far off; What hath hee proclaimed? |
| A41843 | 37. stop the mouth of misbelief so that it should have nothing to say? |
| A41843 | Ah, Turn you ▪ turn you, why will ye die? |
| A41843 | Ah, ah, shall we say that? |
| A41843 | And I pose your own hearts with this, whether or not your names ● ee written there in that ● oll, among these sho shall be cut off? |
| A41843 | And I say to you, who have thus delayed, will ye yet imbrace it? |
| A41843 | And I would ask you that question, What a day shall it be when Faith shall ced ● to sight? |
| A41843 | And I would ask you this question, what are your thoughts concern ● ng precious Christ, seeing he is that noble ● bject of Faith? |
| A41843 | And O how dreadfull is it for an unprepared man to meet with death? |
| A41843 | And O how suddenly will death surprise many of you as it did him? |
| A41843 | And O may wee not wonder at the precious oath of the everlasting Covenant, whereby he hath sworn, That hee delighteth not in the death of sinners? |
| A41843 | And O think ye not that our day is near unto a close? |
| A41843 | And as to hope; will not assurance make a Christian 〈 ◊ 〉 forth, Now, Lord, what wait I for? |
| A41843 | And doe we not ambitiously desire to walk toward Sion, sleeping( rather then weeping) as we go? |
| A41843 | And doth open a door in Heaven, thorow which a Christian is admitted to see Christ sitting upon His Throne? |
| A41843 | And if we would ask that question, What is the way to attain to the saving knowledge of God in Christ? |
| A41843 | And is it not a mysterious command, to desire people to know that which can not be known? |
| A41843 | And is it not a strange thing, that Christians are lesse convinced of the breaches of the Commandements of Faith, then of other commands? |
| A41843 | And is it not certain, that these two gracious gifts ought to ingage ou ● souls and hearts much unto him? |
| A41843 | And is it not the world the great plea and argoment, that they make use of, When they will not come and make use of Christ? |
| A41843 | And is not this a great effect, to make us who were darknesse, become light in the Lord? |
| A41843 | And is there not a great difference betwixt an Idol when it is cast out, and an Idol when it goeth out? |
| A41843 | And that is an effect of this Great Salvation? |
| A41843 | And that is ● ● effect of this Great Salvation? |
| A41843 | And these two wounds, that he received in his precious feet, do they not preach this, That we should believe on a crucified Saviour? |
| A41843 | And we conceive that the ground which maketh the most part of us have such complaints, How long wilt thou forget us for ever? |
| A41843 | And what a Faith suppose yee shall it be thought when wee shall get on that immortal Crown of blessednesse? |
| A41843 | And what can yee do who want Faith? |
| A41843 | And what moveth Christians to be so desirous to die? |
| A41843 | And what shall I answer when he visiteth me? |
| A41843 | And why then do ye not take Him? |
| A41843 | And would ye know what is your hearing of Sermon? |
| A41843 | And yet for all this, shall we be sent away without one consent to imbrace or receive it? |
| A41843 | And yet that Heroick grace of Faith cryeth out, Hath he spoken it: He will also do it, Hath he said it? |
| A41843 | And yet this( as all the former) attendeth the imbracers of this Great Salvation ▪ Ye ●, would ye be rich? |
| A41843 | And, what wisedom is in them? |
| A41843 | Are not all wisdoms wayes pleasantnesse, and are not all her paths peace? |
| A41843 | Are there any bu ● they must acknowledge they come unde ● this second rank? |
| A41843 | Are there any here that will refuse to commend him? |
| A41843 | Are there any of you that are sensible that ye are in the fetters of sin, and in the bonds of iniquity? |
| A41843 | Are there not some words that we would have taken out of the Bible? |
| A41843 | Are y ● ● not weary in pursuit of yours? |
| A41843 | Are ye brought to the conviction of this, that ye are yet in the gall of bitternesse? |
| A41843 | Art thou afraid at the wrath of God? |
| A41843 | Art thou afraid of hell? |
| A41843 | Art thou forced to cry out, none but Christ can save me? |
| A41843 | Believe mee, more mortification would make more believing, but would ye know the original of misbelief? |
| A41843 | But I would only ask at such, have ye any lawfull excuse, why ye will not come and partake of this Great Salvation? |
| A41843 | But O will yee not take it? |
| A41843 | But are there none here who are heavy loaden with sin, with misery, and estrangement from God? |
| A41843 | But are there not many here who never knew what it was to mortifie one lust for Christ? |
| A41843 | But as for you who have no resolutions to imbrace this Great- Salvation, O wherewith shall I commend it unto you? |
| A41843 | But is it not an easie way of entring into the holy of Holies, to win unto it through the exercise of Faith? |
| A41843 | But oh what a hellish word is that, Away with spotlesse Christ, away with transcenden ● Christ, and give us the world? |
| A41843 | But this is answered from that letter of His Name, hee keepeth mercy for thousands? |
| A41843 | But would ye be wise indeed, and wise unto eternal life? |
| A41843 | But would ye know the properties of a Christians Faith? |
| A41843 | But, Oh shall the prison doors be ● st open, and yet none come forth? |
| A41843 | By what Law, saith he, is boasting excluded? |
| A41843 | By what law is boasting excluded? |
| A41843 | Can any of you say an ● thing to the discommendation of it? |
| A41843 | Can such a delusion overtake you O ● athiests ▪ That ye shall reign with Christ, if ye die not with him? |
| A41843 | Can ye imagine any answer unto that question? |
| A41843 | Challenge, Oftentimes ye sinned upon every small temptations, and what will ye answer to that? |
| A41843 | Dare ye send a charge to Christ, and say ye will defy him? |
| A41843 | Dare yee go out at these doors, and neglect ● he Great Salvation? |
| A41843 | Did yee ever see such excellent robes at these must bee? |
| A41843 | Do not your own necessities commend it? |
| A41843 | Do we not covet to be more excellent then our neighbour? |
| A41843 | Do we not love to travell to heaven through a valley of Roses? |
| A41843 | Dost thou fear that thou shalt be poor: Come and partake of this Great Salvation; and thou shalt be delivered from it? |
| A41843 | Doth my heart say, I will sell my birth- right, because I am hungered and ready to die: what will it profit me? |
| A41843 | Doth not David that sweet singer of Israel, now sing more sweetly no ● he did while he was here below? |
| A41843 | Doth not deserted Heman now chaunt forth the praises and everlasting song of him that sitteth upon the Throne? |
| A41843 | Evidence, Doth not the unspeakable stupidity that have overtaken many, say, that we are not a people prepared for death? |
| A41843 | Faith; And what secondly is most requisit? |
| A41843 | Faith; And what thirdly is most requisit for a Christian? |
| A41843 | Fifthly, Is not eternall singing in the enjoyment of God a grea ● advantage? |
| A41843 | For a very look ye will get this Great salvation: and do y ● ● ever think to get Heaven at a lower rate? |
| A41843 | For what report can Christ carry back but this? |
| A41843 | For would yee know what is the description of a crosse? |
| A41843 | For, is not this a mystery, to love him whom wee never saw? |
| A41843 | Fourthly, Is not eternal liberation from the body of death, a great advantage? |
| A41843 | From the first, it answereth all these objections of sense, which do ordinarily cry forth, Doth his promise fail for evermore? |
| A41843 | From whence then ● oth Salvation flow unto you? |
| A41843 | Hath not Christ been thirty dayes and more in heaven, without a visit from you? |
| A41843 | Hath not Christ made a precious exchange with sinners? |
| A41843 | Have I it not already? |
| A41843 | Have not the most cursed wretches been forced to cry forth, Oh, I would give ten thousand worlds for Christ? |
| A41843 | Have ye any thing to say? |
| A41843 | Here is the Great Salvation, here is the offer of it, and here is th ● commendation of it; what say ye to it? |

| A41843 | I think wee will misken our selves; O do yee not think wee will misken our selves, when wee shall put on these excellent robes? |
| A41843 | I was often exhorted to take Christ, and yet would never take him; What will Conscience say to that, when death shall table it before you? |
| A41843 | If ye can sing that pleasant song, O how may ye be comforted, when your eye strings shall begin to break? |
| A41843 | If ye delay your closing with Christ, till death seise upon you, ye shall never be able to make up that losse, For will the dead rise and praise God? |

| A41843 | Is it not 〈 ◊ 〉 free Salvation? |
| A41843 | Is not Faith that precious grace by which a Christian must take up the sports and blemishes that are within himself? |
| A41843 | Is not that a mystery, that one should bring forth without travelling? |
| A41843 | Is not the grace of Faith that whereby a Christian doth take up the invisible excellency and vertue of a dying Christ? |

| A07666 | & c. Is not this a royall exchange and happy Mart? |
| A07666 | 14. Who feares God feares not death: for what can he feare whose death is his hope? |
| A07666 | 4. Who can put to silence the voyce of Desperation? |
| A07666 | Againe, many Atheists say, It is in vaine to serue vse 3 God, and what profit is it that wee haue kept his commaundements? |
| A07666 | All things now worke together for the best,& therfore, what, or who can seperate them from the loue of Christ? |
| A07666 | Am I a sea, or a Whale- fish, that thou keepest mee in ward? |
| A07666 | And Ieremie reproacheth those that say they are wise, Ye haue cast away the word of the Lord, and what wisedome is in you? |
| A07666 | And albeit glory doe continue after the end of our life, yet what shall it auaile thee man, that hath no sence? |
| A07666 | And can wee thinke that all this was for the feare of bodily death, which many of Gods children( yea, many wicked men) haue desperately despised? |
| A07666 | And feeling the good( that death bringeth vnto vs) will not also desire to be dissolued, and to be with Christ? |
| A07666 | And how much better art thou then a graine of corne? |
| A07666 | And how often did holy Dauid( amidst the shadowes of Death) see life it selfe? |
| A07666 | And if our momentany sufferings seeme long, how long shall that be which is eternall? |
| A07666 | And is it not( trow you) a iust condemnation, if wee wretched men should be ashamed of him, who being the God of glory, was not ashamed of vs? |
| A07666 | And not to forget the cares of this life: How doe they swarme about vs, like the Flyes of Egypt? |
| A07666 | And should we desire to dwell here? |
| A07666 | And therefore how shouldest thou enioy so good an exchange, except thou first corrupt and die? |
| A07666 | And thou( O World)( which bewitchest so many to loue this life) what should I gaine, if I should serue thee? |
| A07666 | And though my friends lament the losse of my life, yet can they not redeeme it: for what man is hee that liueth and shall not see death? |
| A07666 | And what auayles it to seeke outward reliefe when thou hast thy executioner within thee? |
| A07666 | And what great madnesse is it, for men( going actually to be iudged) thus in the way to prouoke their Iudge to anger, by continuall sinne? |
| A07666 | And what man is hee, so strong in Faith, that can contayne himselfe in this pittifull tryall of deaths combat? |
| A07666 | And what profit should we haue, if we should pray vnto him? |
| A07666 | And what was the reason hereof that they still proceeded without any interruption? |
| A07666 | And who being a traueller in forraine parts would not gladly hasten homewards? |
| A07666 | And why did I sucke the brests? |
| A07666 | And why should the faithfull be affraide of Death, by which they are deliuered from the slauery of sinne? |
| A07666 | And with what reason can we name Death sodaine, which euery day manifesteth it selfe to all our sences? |
| A07666 | And, whom haue I in heauen but thee? |
| A07666 | Are not fiue Sparrowes bought for two farthings? |
| A07666 | Are they not eyes to the blinde, and feet to the lame? |
| A07666 | Are they not fathers to the poore, and in so being, procure their blessing? |
| A07666 | Are we ready to goe out of this world( as the Israelites out of Egypt? |
| A07666 | Art not thou the same which hast dryed the Sea, even the waters of the great deepe, making the depth of the Sea a way for the redeemed to passe ouer? |
| A07666 | Behold this world, how it shaketh, and is ready to fall, manifesting very shortly her vtter ruine: Wherefore thinkest thou not on God? |
| A07666 | Bitternes caused death; but whence came the bitternesse? |
| A07666 | But God heareth not sinners? |
| A07666 | But O Lord suffer me not to die, before I begin to liue, nor to rot in the graue, before I be assured of my immortall inheritance in heauen? |
| A07666 | But beleeuest thou that such a mans heart laughes with his face? |
| A07666 | But from whence hast thou this hope? |
| A07666 | But how should man be ignorant of his death, vnto whom all creatures and actions preach his mortalitie? |
| A07666 | But how then should wee be saued from the death of sinne and condemnation? |
| A07666 | But if any Physitian would take vpon him to make men liue euer in this world, what a multitude of Patients should he haue? |
| A07666 | But if it be such paines to die, what shall be the torture and torment to be euer dying, and neuer dead? |
| A07666 | But if we feare death, let vs seeke out the cause of this feare: are our sinnes the cause? |
| A07666 | But if we follow our owne appetites, and delicate nicenesse( reiecting Gods pleasure) what can be easie? |
| A07666 | But is thy soule sorrowfull vnto death? |
| A07666 | But it is a miserable thing to die? |
| A07666 | But see how many Legions of Diuels looke for thy soule, as Death for thy body? |
| A07666 | But seeing it hateth the Children of God, why loue they such an enemy? |
| A07666 | But the Law of thy God, accuseth and condemneth thee? |
| A07666 | But the death of sinners is damnable? |
| A07666 | But thou flatterest thy selfe with vaine hope? |
| A07666 | But thou shalt be damned, saith the Diuell? |
| A07666 | But thou shalt be swallowed vp of death? |
| A07666 | But thy Faith is weake and ready to fayle thee? |
| A07666 | But thy repentance is too late? |
| A07666 | But to come to the tryall of afflictions( which is more proper to this place) how soone are the best men crushed and broken with the burden thereof? |
| A07666 | But what madnes is this, to desire to know our end, of such as are ignorant of their owne? |
| A07666 | But why will hee haue thy death so bitter and sharpe? |
| A07666 | But will the forgetfulnesse of death preserue them from dying? |
| A07666 | Can Death depriue him of Christ, which is all his comfort, ioy and life? |
| A07666 | Can a woman forget her childe, and not haue compassion vpon the sonne of her wombe? |
| A07666 | Can there be in him any want of wisedome, not to foresee the best? |
| A07666 | Christ hath crucified our old man, and put to death our vice and corruption, and shall wee reuiue the same? |
| A07666 | Christ hath triumphed ouer death, it bleedeth( as it were) and gaspeth vnder vs, and yet doe we tremble? |
| A07666 | Could any punishment possible be sharpe enough for such a monstrous fact? |
| A07666 | Demaund now, and behold, if Man trauell with childe? |
| A07666 | Did not our Fathers eate the sowre grapes, and are not the teeth of their children set on edge? |
| A07666 | Did the Apostles sing in Prison, and went away reioycing being whipped and scourged? |
| A07666 | Doe we ouercome enemies without? |
| A07666 | Doe wee flye? |
| A07666 | Doe wee not see how many discommodities we vndergoe, and how ill this body of ours befitteth vs? |
| A07666 | Doth the aduersarie vrge our debt? |
| A07666 | Elisha could say to his seruant, Is this a time to take rewards? |
| A07666 | Euen the sweetest of all flowers hath his thornes, and who can determine whether the scent be more delectable, or the pricks more perillous? |
| A07666 | Faith is the foundation of our hope; for what can we hope for except we beleeue it? |
| A07666 | Fearest thou to dye once, when thou dyest euery day by little and little? |
| A07666 | For Faith is of things absent, of things hoped for, of things desired; and can wee desire any thing wee know not? |
| A07666 | For how can there be satisfaction for our apostacie, but by our humilitie? |
| A07666 | For if heauen be our country, what is this earth, but a place of banishment? |
| A07666 | For if hee be rich that hath some thing, how rich is hee that is the maker and owner of all things, whom I enioy? |
| A07666 | For in that man offendeth the Lord and creatour of all things, he offendeth also all the creatures together in him; whither therefore may he goe? |
| A07666 | For shall it hale them forward to hell( like an executioner) and they not dislike it? |
| A07666 | For what else doe we heare from the cradle, then lamentations& mourning for the dead? |
| A07666 | For what great matters should we looke for in the graue, where rottennesse is our father, and wormes are our mother? |
| A07666 | For what hath man committed which the Sonne of God, made man, hath not redeemed? |
| A07666 | For what is it else to be dead, then to be no more aliue in the world? |
| A07666 | For what is our miserie but to meete with his maiestie, except it be onely in the temple of mercie? |
| A07666 | For what is this life but a heauie mierie way, clagging and tyring our feet and orher limbes? |
| A07666 | For what knowest thou, whither tomorrow shall euer come? |
| A07666 | For what man liueth and shall not see death? |

| A07666 | Hath he said, and shall not he doe it? |
| A07666 | Haue wee had so many experiments of his loue, and should wee now doubt thereof? |
| A07666 | He hath died for vs, that wee might liue no more to our selues, but to him which died for vs; which we must doe by faith? |
| A07666 | He is the husband of his elect, and they his Spouse, who of right must defend and protect them, and therefore how can they miscarry? |
| A07666 | He shall be saued? |
| A07666 | Hee hath healed this water? |
| A07666 | Hee which seeketh fonsuch friends, seeketh to God his assignes: for are they not his Deputies, to doe good to his Church and Children? |
| A07666 | How acceptable therefore may death be, when in dying we sleepe,& in sleeping we rest from all the trauels of this toylesome life? |
| A07666 | How did Death enter? |
| A07666 | How did his enemies giue him vinegar to drinke, that reacheth out vnto vs the wine and Nectar of life and saluation? |

| A07666 | How foolish are wee to feare a vanquished enemie? |
| A07666 | How full of ignorance is the time of our infancie? |
| A07666 | How many Crownes and Scepters lye pyled vp at the gates of Death? |
| A07666 | How much better is it for thee to want a little hony, then to be swolne vp with a venemous sting? |

| A07666 | How sweet are thy promises vnto my mouth? |
| A07666 | How truely may wee say of this our Dauid, thou art worth ten thousand of vs, yea worth a world of Angels? |
| A07666 | How was hee proffered most bitter gall, that offereth to vs the heauenly Manna and food of our soules? |
| A07666 | I meane, who is affraide to die, but such as haue no hope to liue eternally? |
| A07666 | I say not of men, but of Cities and Empires themselues? |
| A07666 | I will not feare in the euill day( saith the Prophet:) Is not the euill day the day of our end? |
| A07666 | If God be on our side, who can be against vs? |
| A07666 | If God had made Death, why did Christ weepe for Lazarus his death, for he ought not to mourne for that himselfe had made? |
| A07666 | If God were the author of Death, how could hee but be the willer of the same? |
| A07666 | If a golden prize be propounded to such as winne the race, and winne the goale; why step wee aside to follow flies and feathers in the ayre? |
| A07666 | If diseases( which doe but make the way to death) be so dreadfull, what must the end and perfection of diseases be? |
| A07666 | If he be the strength of our life, of whom shall wee be afraid? |
| A07666 | If it be a moment, and a moment of so great importance, how is it passed ouer by worldly men so carelesly as it is? |
| A07666 | If men forsake their own will,& submit themselues to Gods, what can be hard? |
| A07666 | If our Iayle containe so great matters, what shall our Countrey and Kingdome doe? |
| A07666 | If our birth allow vs to feede of bread in our fathers house? |
| A07666 | If our comming in be with teares, is it a wonder that our going out be answerable? |
| A07666 | If the Lord bee our light and saluation, whom shall we feare? |
| A07666 | If the beginning of our being be the beginning of our paine, is it any maruell that such should be our ending? |
| A07666 | If the departing out of this world, be an entrance into life; what is this world, but a graue wherein we are buried? |
| A07666 | If the very remembrance of the ioyes of heauen so affect section 4 Gods Children, what will the fruition doe? |
| A07666 | If there were so great Faith in the earth, as there is most sure reward in heauen, what loue should wee haue to the life to come? |
| A07666 | If thou doe so great things for vs in our prison, what wilt thou giue vnto vs in our Pallace? |
| A07666 | If thy enemies and thy friends be so well prouided for together in this life, what shall thy onely friends receiue in the life to come? |
| A07666 | If to be deliuered out of the body, is to be set at liberty, what is this body else but a prison, a Iayle, and a dungeon? |
| A07666 | If to enioy the sweet fellowship of God be the highest felicitie, why then to be kept from it, is it not the extreamest misery? |
| A07666 | If wee will be Burgesses of heauen, we must be strangers to the earth: Where is the house of our Father, but in heauen? |
| A07666 | In our tryals and temptations, we must first search out section 18 the cause, and ascend to God, pleading guilty, and crauing mercy at his hand? |
| A07666 | Iobs children( so well brought vp by their Godly Father) were slaine by the ruine of a house, in a violent winde? |
| A07666 | Is it not a wonder that so excellent a myrrour of nature should come to such a dishonourable, base, and loathsome estate? |
| A07666 | Is my strength the strength of stones? |
| A07666 | Is not this a goodly place, where teares and cares make their residence? |
| A07666 | Is the Iudge become our Aduocate, and shall wee feare to goe forward to the throne of grace? |

| A07666 | It is a filthy dunghill, couered with snow, faire without, and foule within: What channell is so filthy? |
| A07666 | It is his place and office so to doe; Shall not the Iudge of all the world doe right? |
| A07666 | It may be thou shalt liue long; wilt thou liue a long life and a wicked together, and be in danger to end thy life by a miserable and wretched death? |
| A07666 | It ouer- floweth with dainties in the pining Desart of this world; Who is this that ascendeth from the Desart, flowing with delights? |
| A07666 | It will requite vs as Nabal did Dauid: Who is the Sonne of Ishai that I should know him? |
| A07666 | Let fooles( as they doe) make but a sport of sinne, and section 10 say with the old Epicures, What haue wee to doe with Death? |
| A07666 | Let the world tosse and tumble how it list( as euer it doth) the rest of Gods children is pitched aloft, aboue the spheare of changable mortalitie? |
| A07666 | Nay, rather section 11( saith Chrisostome) who is not against vs? |
| A07666 | Now if the life be no more but a dreame of a shadow, what must we thinke of the glory of this world, which is shorter of continuance then mans life? |
| A07666 | Now if this be no paine, why accuse we death of the paines( our life yeeldeth vs) at our departure? |
| A07666 | Now simply not to be in the world, is it any paine? |
| A07666 | Now what a ioy is it to consider the ioy of this most ioyfull day to all faithfull beleeuers in Iesus Christ, who shall be quit by proclamation? |

| A07666 | O how loue I thy law? |
| A07666 | O most blessed tabernacle? |
| A07666 | O roaring Lyon, why doest thou fret and fume? |
| A07666 | Of what impatiencie is it, not to endure that euill section 23 which together( with so many and mighty) is common vnto all men? |
| A07666 | Oftentimes hath God knocked at the doore of our hearts, to put vs in minde of our mortalitie; for who hath not had experience of his declining nature? |
| A07666 | Oh but thou seest what thou leauest in the world, but what after this life thou shalt inioy thou knowest not? |
| A07666 | Oh how happy, and blessed is hee which with the onely desire and loue of eternitie pyneth away? |
| A07666 | Oh miserable life how many deceiuest thou? |
| A07666 | Oh( saith a holy Martyr) how loath is this loytering sluggard to passe forth, and goe forward in Gods path to heauen? |
| A07666 | One demanding the proofe of another life, was asked section 2( for his answere) whether hee beleeued there was a God? |
| A07666 | One rufully thus exclaimeth of Death: How quickly and sodainely stealest thou vpon vs? |
| A07666 | Our dayes goe as an Eagle to her prey: and what are men but the prey of Death, which soareth after vs with an open mouth to deuoure vs? |
| A07666 | Put thy trust in God, which is the helpe of our countenance, and our God? |
| A07666 | Remember( I pray thee) that thou hast made mee as the clay; and wilt thou bring mee to dust againe? |
| A07666 | Seeing hee hath broken the head of our enemie what should his taile so much trouble vs? |
| A07666 | Seeing hee hath taken away our sinnes, what should any sorrow remaine amongst vs? |
| A07666 | Seth liued nine hundred and twelue yeares, and after dyed,& c. And is not this a true table, most liuely representing our mortalitie and death? |
| A07666 | Shall it arrest them, as a Serjeant, to appeare before their Iudge, and they not regard it? |
| A07666 | Shall thy wondrous workes be knowne in the darke? |
| A07666 | Shall we maintaine our Sauiours enemies, and giue life againe to these deadly poysons of our soules? |
| A07666 | Shew mee( I say) the promise, and liue to morrow: But what doe I say? |
| A07666 | Should not a people enquire at their God? |
| A07666 | The Diuels doe challenge no good by Christ, but disclaime his mercies, person, and all his meanes: Oh what haue wee to doe with thee? |
| A07666 | The Lord is on their side, and who can be against them? |
| A07666 | The head will haue his members, God his elect, and Christ his redeemed, and where will hee haue them but in heauen where he is? |
| A07666 | Their persons are odious, and how shall their actions be acceptable? |
| A07666 | Then commeth the World, and will set abroach his section 3 baites: What wilt thou dye O man? |
| A07666 | Therefore that we may be assured, that we truely haue and enioy these precious iewels of a sauing faith, and hope section 5 vnmoueable? |
| A07666 | Therefore we reioyce( saith Paul of himselfe and the section 17 faithfull) in all our tribulations and afflictions, and why doe they reioyce? |
| A07666 | Thinke wee to banish him his Countrey? |
| A07666 | Thinke wee to imprison him? |
| A07666 | This is his will, and who dare wrest it? |
| A07666 | Thou Lord dost saue both Man and Beast, but how excellent is thy mercy( O God) to the children of men, that trust vnder the shadow of thy wings? |
| A07666 | Thou that flowest with wealth, and gloriest in reputation, wilt thou know thy waight? |
| A07666 | Thus wee see that the wicked are in hell liuing yet vpon the earth: but what is this to their hell hereafter? |
| A07666 | Wee dye hourely, and as we grow our life decreaseth: for what is the beginning of Youth, but the death of Infancie? |

| A07666 | What profiteth it Homer, that now thou praise his Iliads? |
| A07666 | What shall I say? |
| A07666 | What should I speake of the shortnesse and swiftnesse of the same? |
| A07666 | What then doe I say? |
| A07666 | What then doe I say? |
| A07666 | What then, wilt thou forgoe heauen, and yet escape hell? |

| A07666 | What will the wicked doe in the extremity of Gods iudgement? |
| A07666 | What worlds of men are gone before vs? |
| A07666 | What, are we all but grasse? |
| A07666 | When Christ is the patterne( whose similitude wee beare) who can be discouraged vnder the Crosse? |
| A07666 | When men forsake their owne wils, and submit themselues to Gods, what can be hard? |
| A07666 | Where is safe and stedfast rest and assurednesse for the weake and wounded soule, but in the wounds of our Sauiour Christ? |
| A07666 | Where should the members be, but where the head raigneth? |
| A07666 | Where then shall we finde an infinite value, but in him who is onely and altogether infinite in himselfe? |
| A07666 | Wherefore doe I behold euery man with his hands on his loynes, as a Woman in her trauell? |
| A07666 | Wherefore hidest thou thy face? |
| A07666 | Wherefore if our inheritance be that wee shall raigne as kings, why put we our selues in such slauerie of creatures? |

| A07666 | and how strangely hath hee compact them together? |
| A07666 | and how well would they reward him? |
| A07666 | and is not their remembrance as ashes vnder foote? |
| A07666 | and is there of heauenly things any other true knowledge, then by faith grounded vpon the word of God? |
| A07666 | and not desire to ascend on that ladder, which Iacob knew to be the gate of heauen? |
| A07666 | and shall hee deliuer his soule from the hand of the graue? |

| A07666 | as the ground of faith is the word& promise; for why should we beleeue, but in respect of Gods promise? |
| A07666 | but after this life finished, to dye in the Faith and feare of God, what more diuine? |

| A07666 | section 20 Doth the Law indite vs of transgression? |
| A07666 | section 3 Is it possible to forget whither wee are going? |
| A07666 | section 4 But what speake I so much to true Christians, concerning the feare of Death, they hauing so many causes rather to imbrace the same? |
| A07666 | section 4 Lastly, comes the Flesh( with trembling and quaking:) Why? |
| A07666 | section 5 Who would be sorry to forsake this life, which can not but be most certain of eternall life? |
| A07666 | section 7 And did not Iob see God( as they say) vnder Sathans cloake? |
| A07666 | section 7 Marke well( saith one) what I say, that a man which repenteth not but at his latter end, shall be damned? |

| A07666 | shall the foulenesse of his face, feare vs from his good conditions? |
| A07666 | shall the hardnesse of the huske hinder vs from the sweetnesse of the kirnell? |
| A07666 | should such a friend as it is be vnwelcome? |
| A07666 | should we lust and long to liue in this loathsome, and laborious life? |

| A16539 | Must I nowe goe remaine into the myre of mortalitie, the place of silence? |
| A16539 | Must wee not in end come to count& reckoning for our euill and well spent houres ▪ Moreouer, what are the most parte of all earthlie delights? |
| A16539 | My Soule is sicke to the death with surfets of sinne: Can Gods Spirit abide where there is so great corruption? |
| A16539 | No flesh, O LORD, is able to stand before thee, when thou art angrie, for what is man ▪ which is consumed before the moath? |
| A16539 | No, For Christ Gods ▪ a Saluatiō is ours: Shall Hell? |
| A16539 | No, For Christ hath c ouercome the World: Shall the Law? |
| A16539 | No, For our Christ e is the Way and the Life: Shall the Fathers wrath? |
| A16539 | No, For our Christ hath b the keyes both of Heauen& of Hell: Shall the World? |
| A16539 | Novissima sunt quatuor, MORS, IVDICIVM, GEHENNA, GLORIA: Quid horribilius morte? |
| A16539 | Now Sir consider, and weigh well what hath beene said: Is it not now your desire, that yee bee dissolued? |
| A16539 | Now Sir tell me what ye thinke of this world, wherin gods must die like men? |
| A16539 | Now Sir, if your memorie serueth you, can yee tell what is said, by the Apostle in the Chapter following? |
| A16539 | Now Sir, vvhat thinke yee of all that hath beene said? |
| A16539 | Now behold Sir, what grieueth mee, what say yee for my comfort? |
| A16539 | Now let vs come to Riches ▪ what are they? |
| A16539 | Now mine olde companion and yoke- fellow art thou not content to goe to bedde and there to sleepe till the morning of theresurrection come? |
| A16539 | Now teach mee what this is, that he will taste of the heauenlie gift: How can vnsanctified mortalitie bee capable of celestiall benefites? |
| A16539 | Now tell mee, O man, what haue yee lost, for to goe from the Earth to the Heauens? |
| A16539 | Nubicula est cito evanescit: Nascimur flentes morimur gementes: It beginneth with teares and endeth vvith groans: What is life? |
| A16539 | O Death, where is thy sting? |
| A16539 | O FREDERICK my Son where art thou? |
| A16539 | O Graue, where is thy victorie? |
| A16539 | O LORD, how terrible art thou, when thou art angrie at thy creatures? |
| A16539 | O anima mea egredere; quid dubitas? |
| A16539 | O foolish man, fye vpon thee, shall the sickle follie of an houre cost thee the lose of that glorious immortalitie? |
| A16539 | O man what is God that thou art so forgetfull of him? |
| A16539 | O my Sonne, my dearest Sonne is gone: Hee is lost, where shall I finde him? |
| A16539 | O the deepe dungeon of hypocrisie that is within that breast: O how cunninglie hath all his wickednesse beene concealed hitherto? |
| A16539 | O these bleeding bowels of compassions ▪ What said hee at last, while hee saw the great affliction of Ephraim? |
| A16539 | O what a redemption is this? |
| A16539 | Of force then must I die? |
| A16539 | Oh, but mine heart is sicke: Oh, where is my deare and louing Pastour? |
| A16539 | Oh, where shall I hide mee, vntill these calamities bee ouerpast? |
| A16539 | Or if they fall, whither shall they goe? |
| A16539 | Or is his journey from Earth to Heauen so easie or so short that hee may haue leasure for pleasures and passe times? |
| A16539 | Or who is on earth whom hee can desire besides thee? |
| A16539 | Quid intolerabilius gehenna? |
| A16539 | Quid terribilius judicio? |
| A16539 | Seeing a good man is mercifull to his beast, how much more wilt thou bee, who are mercie it selfe? |
| A16539 | Seeing by that Ierusalem is vnderstood the Church heere below, wherfore is it called, Ierusalem aboue, and the heauenlie Ierusalem? |
| A16539 | Seeing this holie man of God such a strong Oake hath beene so sore shaken, what may we poore little shrubs expect? |
| A16539 | Shall Damnation? |
| A16539 | Shall Death? |
| A16539 | Shall I beholde man no more with the inhabitants of the worlde? |
| A16539 | Shall I neuer kisse thy mouth againe? |
| A16539 | Shall I neuer see after this into the Land of the liuing any of all these whom I haue loued so well? |
| A16539 | Shall I not drinke of my Fathers Cup? |
| A16539 | Shall I see thee no more? |
| A16539 | Shall anie thing bee impossible vnto God? |
| A16539 | Shall this man come where God is ▪ who neuer walked in his way? |
| A16539 | Shall this man come where God is, who neuer walked in Gods wayes? |
| A16539 | Shew mee his Faith if thou can? |
| A16539 | Should a mans heart so itch after an inch of Earth, that hee would desire to tarrie from Heauen but an houre? |
| A16539 | That Christ must reigne till hee hath put all his enemies vnder his feet: What is that to say? |
| A16539 | That Sir, is of verie hard practise: For if the Lord of Life put out the life, who shall put it in againe? |
| A16539 | That is, It is easie for God to mak ouer againe that which he hath once made, why marueill wee? |
| A16539 | That of Peter in the New- Testament is remarkable: Christ himselfe called him, A man of little Faith, and yet who doubteth of his Saluation? |
| A16539 | That point is made cleare indeede: But what is this to say, That Christ the Sonne shall reigne, Till the Father hath put all enemies vnder his feete? |
| A16539 | That shee and her Daughter were but dogs, to whom the Childrens bread, did not belong: What did shee then? |
| A16539 | That which Christ said to Peter, may bee said to you, O man of little Faith, why hast thou doubted? |
| A16539 | That which yee say Sir, is verie true: But how few are these who in this world can gladlie condescend to depart out of this life? |
| A16539 | The Lord hath turned his backe on mee, shall I cast my selfe into a consuming fire? |
| A16539 | The Romane Church teacheth that such goe to a prison where they shall neuer see the face of God: Shall not their bodies come out of their Graues? |
| A16539 | The Word had none abode in him a pettie- fogger a trouble towne: What could such a smatterer as hee learne at the hearing of the Word? |
| A16539 | The euill dayes, and the yeares of which he saith, I haue no pleasure in them? |
| A16539 | The fatherlesse Children of the faithfull whether their Fathers haue beene poore or rich, haue a rich Legacie left vnto them? |
| A16539 | The first wordes that this new creature learneth to speake is, Where is the glorie? |
| A16539 | The most excellent are but noble miseries, the fairest are but farded lik the face of Iezebel, onely an out- side or outward scroofe of pleasure? |
| A16539 | The remembrance of that shout maketh mine eares to tingle and my heart stringes to tremble: What a shout thinke ye that, that shall bee? |
| A16539 | These things can not bee written for mee: What doeth Christ care for mee? |
| A16539 | Think yee that after that, they did returne to their Graues? |
| A16539 | Thinke ye Sir, that before a man win to Heauen, that hee must bee racked and riuen as I am with fearefull temptations? |
| A16539 | Thinke ye that Christ will bee Cationer for all men, or that all men shall bee saued? |
| A16539 | Thinke yee Sir, that God hath anie matteriall Booke, wherein the names of his Saintes are written? |
| A16539 | Thinke yee that in Heauen wee shall bee of diuerse ages, Children, men, or olde men, as wee were here when wee deceased? |
| A16539 | Thinke yee that these that then shal be aliue, shall win first to Christ? |
| A16539 | Thinke yee then Sir, that a man can not fall from the grace of God, if once hee hath beene receiued in Grace? |
| A16539 | This is your ignorance: What can man see of the Lord, in the land of the liuing? |
| A16539 | This life, said a Father, is miserarable: Our death is vncertaine: If it surprise vs vnawares, whither shall wee goe? |
| A16539 | This whole world is but a world of vanitie? |
| A16539 | Though a man euen now were neuer so happie in his owne conceit, how soone may the Lord send a change? |
| A16539 | Though this Day bee not particularlie knowne, thinke yee not but it is verie neere? |
| A16539 | Though yee bee not able to vtter words, sigh with your hearte vnto God:* God heard Moses his sighs, like cryes: Why cryest thou to mee? |
| A16539 | To bee with Christ, is it not our best? |
| A16539 | To what end serueth this inhabitation, if no man can know assuredlie who is guiltie of this sinne? |
| A16539 | To whom shall it bee directed? |
| A16539 | To whom thinke yee that Christ in that Iudgment shall first addresse his speach? |
| A16539 | Vita haec misera est, mors incerta; si subito obrepat quo hinc exibimus? |
| A16539 | Vtique idoneus est reficere qui facit: quare miramur? |
| A16539 | W ● … at is that? |
| A16539 | Were it not expedient that your Corps lye into the Church, where are buried these which are in greatest account in this world? |
| A16539 | What Bookes are these which shall bee opened? |
| A16539 | What I pray you are all carnall delights, but the lymetwiges of the Deuill, wherewith the sillie Soules of sinners are ensnared and entangled? |
| A16539 | What I pray you, is all this Earth in comparison of these heauenlie Mansions, but an hand- breadth in comparison of fifteene hundreth myles? |
| A16539 | What SIGNE thinke yee that to bee, that shall bee seene in Heauen after that the world shall bee made new? |
| A16539 | What a change Sir, thinke yee that, that shall bee? |
| A16539 | What a vanitie is this? |
| A16539 | What aduantage shall it be to my Soule to come and fetch this bodie out of a Church more than out of a Church yeard? |
| A16539 | What aileth you? |
| A16539 | What am I, said lamed Mephibosheth, that I a d ● … ad dogge should sitte at the Table of a King? |
| A16539 | What an heart- scald should this bee vnto vs, that wee haue so long neglected this best part, not remembering our latter end? |
| A16539 | What answere shall I make for tbis to my God at that great day? |
| A16539 | What are all men on Earth, but a number of wormes crawling and creeping vpon a clat or clod of clay? |
| A16539 | What are all our dwellinges on earth, but Dungeons in a dunghill? |
| A16539 | What are they, but idoles lying vanities? |
| A16539 | What are they, but wormes worke& moathes meate? |
| A16539 | What are yee now doing Sir? |
| A16539 | What can a Reprobate haue to doe with the world to come? |
| A16539 | What can bee the cause wherefore God hath kept vp to himselfe the particular knowledge of that great day? |
| A16539 | What can hee get of them all but a bellie full of meate? |
| A16539 | What creature is that? |
| A16539 | What expectation can that bee? |
| A16539 | What fruites Could such a thorne as hee beare grapes? |
| A16539 | What happier should thine estat bee, though God should command mee to bee buried besides thee? |
| A16539 | What hath Christ to doe with this stubburne and steele- necked Bebell who was in his whole conuersation both hote& hardie? |
| A16539 | What hath hee beene but a fruitlesse shrubbe in the Lords garden, where hee but marred the ground? |
| A16539 | What hath hee then? |
| A16539 | What hath mine heart beene, but like a vipers bellie, filled with a deadly brood? |
| A16539 | What haue I beeene but the instrument of thy sinne? |
| A16539 | What haue I to doe with this world ▪ or with the fashions of this worlde ▪ which passe away? |
| A16539 | What if hee should doe so to the best of vs? |
| A16539 | What is Beautie, but as one faith vvell, a colour and a temptation? |
| A16539 | What is Honour, which men in the hight of Spirit desire with the strongest straine? |
| A16539 | What is all the Land yee see, but a dead lump of earth, where the most part of men are dead in their sins? |
| A16539 | What is all the Wisedome of this World? |
| A16539 | What is heere that should tye our heart from the loue of Heauen? |
| A16539 | What is in this world so worthie that it should bee so eagerlie desired? |
| A16539 | What is it but a long martyr dome, and a stormie time of teares? |
| A16539 | What is life? |
| A16539 | What is life? |
| A16539 | What is poore mans life on this earth, but a map of miserie? |
| A16539 | What is that to say but that God shall cease to be that God whose mercie is aboue all his workes? |
| A16539 | What is that to say, That righteousnesse dwelleth into the new Heauens and into the newe Earth? |
| A16539 | What is that to say, That the Heauens shall passe away with a great noise ▪ What sort of noise shall that bee? |
| A16539 | What is that to say? |
| A16539 | What is the Bellie, but a thing ordained for destruction with all that is in it? |
| A16539 | What is the best of all sinfull flesh, but like Gun- powder? |

| A16539 | What reason thinke yee can bee of that order? |
| A16539 | What rest can a man looke for till hee bee into the Heauens? |
| A16539 | What saith God to that? |
| A16539 | What say ye Sir? |
| A16539 | What say yee now Sir: How is it of all? |
| A16539 | What say yee now Sir? |

| A16539 | are not our dayes consumed as a tale that is tolde? |
| A16539 | but a daylie dyeing? |
| A16539 | but afflatus illius impuri Spiritus, a breathing of that vncleane Spirit? |
| A16539 | but hee shall bee battered and besieged with much toyle and turmoyle? |
| A16539 | can both good and euill tarie together in one heart that is Gods? |
| A16539 | can the dark night beguile him, that hee should take such a loathsome Leah for a beautifull Rachel? |
| A16539 | did the Worldings say, whose hearte is like a Ferret in the earth: What hast thou seene or heard? |
| A16539 | doeth Scripture call them, These that are come out of the great tribulations? |

| A16539 | how shall I be quiet? |
| A16539 | know ye mee? |
| A16539 | mine accoūt is cast vp for another world: My name is written into the Booke of life, what care I for Letters into stones? |
| A16539 | olde Age: What is olde Age, but manie dayes? |
| A16539 | or how can the Heauens and the Elements bee said to bee made partakers of that liberty which belongeth to the Children of God? |
| A16539 | or how shall hee liue? |
