A07467 | Adam vbi es? |
A07467 | After this Verrine spake to Lewes and said h Adam vbi es? |
A07467 | Afterward going out of the Church, and being followed by company, would you know( faith hee) where the Synagogue was held? |
A07467 | And bid the Gentle- man propound what hee had thought to haue said; What is it( said hee) that you would bee resolued of? |
A07467 | And continuing his speech to Christ Iesus hee said, What Lord? |
A07467 | And continuing in his obstinary, Verrine asked him, vnhappy creature why answerest thou not? |
A07467 | And directing his speech vnto God, hee said, Why diddest thou not rather chuse a Queene or an Empresse, then this worme here? |
A07467 | And in another place he rendreth a reason of this, saying, Cui veritas comperta sine Deo? |
A07467 | And speaking to the Priest, he said: Come your waies, adiure him in the name of Iohn, Peter, and Bernard ▪ what? |
A07467 | And this they gaue vs in writing, and in schedules signed with their blood, yet for all this doest thou take them from vs? |
A07467 | And thou Leuiathan the Arch- Doctor of h Hereticks, art thou not hee that bestowest vpon them the apparance and shew of light? |
A07467 | And thou good Theise, who told thee, that hee that was crucified vpon the crosse with thee, was a King? |
A07467 | And till this present thou diddest conceiue it was Louyse: is not this true? |
A07467 | And turning himselfe to the Magician, hee said, what wilt thou that I doe? |
A07467 | And what danger is there( say they) to command the Diuell? |
A07467 | And what letteth it, but that all these things may concurre in one man? |
A07467 | And what thinke yee? |
A07467 | And why Lord? |
A07467 | And why? |
A07467 | Are you ignorant in what this pouerty of spirit consisteth? |
A07467 | Are you such gallant doctors, and can you make no reply? |
A07467 | Are you ● eadie to set open your heart to God, who hath created ● ou? |
A07467 | Art thou ignorant what the Lord said to Peter? |
A07467 | Art thou not vnhappie to beleeue that Louyse is the author and expresser of these things? |
A07467 | As first, to what end haue you created a creature thus beautifull? |
A07467 | At the euening Exorcismes Belzebub continued to torment Magdalene, and a litle after he said, What wilt thou? |
A07467 | Belzebub answered, whence had''st thou notice of my returne? |
A07467 | Blessed Spirit, where was the goodly beds with all the rich and pompous furniture which thou diddest prouide for thy Spouse? |
A07467 | But O great God, why diddest thou not first recommend thy mother to Iohn, and Iohn vnto thy mother? |
A07467 | But Verrine snatched away the booke by violence, and threw it to the ground, saying, What? |
A07467 | But here may an obiection be made, how Spirits are able to frame vnto themselues such bodies at their own pleasure? |
A07467 | But is it not true, haue not I humbled thee? |
A07467 | But since( said the father) such is the pleasure of God, Why then resistest thou? |
A07467 | But some one will obiect, what? |
A07467 | But vpon the sudden Magdalene cryed out, Alacke poore Mary, what makest thou heere? |
A07467 | But who seeth not that this is the craft and counterfaite weeping of Crocodiles, that is to say Diabolical fictions framed for deceit and cousonage? |
A07467 | But will Aristotle dare to auow that this grosse and earthy humour is more excellent in a man, then his vnderstanding and reason? |
A07467 | But you Sir, where doe you conceiue you are, in some wood or at some May- game? |
A07467 | But you may obiect, how proue you that this is the will of God? |
A07467 | Can you endure such an affront? |
A07467 | Canst thou not let the poore woman suppe in quyet? |
A07467 | Carreau answered, When a Captaine leadeth a band of Souldiers, they doe all follow him, and doe not you obey your Kings when they command you? |
A07467 | Certainly Thomas thy God( vnto whom it is impossible that hee should tell a lie) hath said, that hee would rise the third day: and what? |
A07467 | Darest thou sweare that thy doctrine is consonant vnto truth, as I wil sweare that whatsoeuer I haue here deliuered, proceedeth from the liuing God? |
A07467 | Did I euer bid you worship Verrine? |
A07467 | Did not God giue you a soule accompanied with the three goodly faculties thereof, that you might vse it and them to his glory? |
A07467 | Diddest not thou( said Belzebub) affirme that God hath promised Paradise vnto thee? |
A07467 | Doe men resist God, and am not I able to doe the same? |
A07467 | Doe you renounce with your whole heart Belzebub and his adherents? |
A07467 | Doest thou alwaies( Lord) present thy wounds vnto thy Father in the behalfe of sinners? |
A07467 | Doest thou beleeue it, or doest thou not? |
A07467 | Doest thou not know what is commonly said? |
A07467 | Doest thou not know, that God doth alwaies worke order out of disorder? |
A07467 | Doest thou not see, that God will take them vnto himselfe? |
A07467 | Doest thou vse thus to baite mens soules with thy faire speeches, steeped in all alluring sweetnesse? |
A07467 | Doth thy Order command thee to bee proud? |
A07467 | FAther Francis Billet saying Masse, and being come to his memento, Belzebub cryed out foure times, Why x prayest thou for Magdalene? |
A07467 | For how can that which happeneth vpon a set day, as vpon a Thursday, or the like, bee said to bee a dreame? |
A07467 | For if worldly fathers are so loving, shall not God who hath created them, bee much more gracious and good then they? |
A07467 | For to what purpose serue the commandements, if good workes be not necessary to saluation? |
A07467 | For what are you but a compound of dust and ashes? |
A07467 | For what importeth it whether hee entered into the body of a Serpent, or into a statue of marble? |
A07467 | For why should any man conceite strangely of this point, since Simon Magus himselfe was carried in the ayre by Diuels? |
A07467 | For why should the Diuell denie to doe such a thing, but at a set time, and should tye himselfe vnto this day and houre, rather then to any other? |
A07467 | From whence could the Christians better know this then from the Scriptures? |
A07467 | Good God what haue I miserable creature deserued to haue thy fauours doubled and heaped vpon me? |
A07467 | Great God, thou hast many friends at thy table, but how is their number diminished when thou commest to suffer on the Crosse? |
A07467 | Ha Michaelis( quoth Verrine) God hath vnloosed mee, and doest thou tie me vp? |
A07467 | Ha, ha, if the Princes bee astonished and at their wits end, what shall the poore lackeies then doe? |
A07467 | Hast thou neede of Christians? |
A07467 | Hath not God then inst occasion to bee incensed against them? |
A07467 | Haue I nothing to doe but to expose my sinnes to his knowledge? |
A07467 | He also said to b Magdalene, Art not thou an accursed woman, that the Witches Sabbath is kept here? |
A07467 | Hee cried ● ut: Cursed be In principio, If I were able to smother ● t, how willingly would I doe it? |
A07467 | How Idle then are they that say, I can not be conuerted? |
A07467 | How can it bee that so f great a God should be contained in such a little Host? |
A07467 | How expedient then is it, that thou walke in the commandements of thy God, and that the Bride should be obseruant of her Spouse? |
A07467 | How now Belzebub, wilt thou suffer thy slaue to tread thus disdainfully vpon thee? |
A07467 | How then can all this be attributed to a melancholick humour? |
A07467 | How vntrue is it that a man is to imitate God, and his Sonne Christ Iesus in all things? |
A07467 | How wonderfull is this? |
A07467 | I am the l Painter; shall not I mend this picture when it seemeth good vnto me? |
A07467 | I confesse it, it is a truth, is it not sufficient that I haue confessed these to be present in the blessed Hoast? |
A07467 | If a seruant obey his Master, how much more ought a childe so to doe? |
A07467 | If then any one should be familiar with such furious beasts, might hee not well bee accounted mad and depriued of common sense? |
A07467 | If then the answeres of Diuels are inserted in the Gospell, why may not the like answeres be now written and published to the world? |
A07467 | In like manner, if hee had taken any to aduise with all, touching the place of his Natiuity, they would haue told him, what Lord, chuse a stable? |
A07467 | Is it fit that Diuels should fall out with Diuels? |
A07467 | Is it not a thing that was neuer heard of before, that the Diuell is at variance with the Diuell, and that hell combateth against hell? |
A07467 | Is it not all true which I haue here deliuered? |
A07467 | Is it not better to obey God then Belzebub? |
A07467 | Is it not good reason to reuerence the blessed mother of God since that you are her children? |
A07467 | Is it not strange that the deuils should teach men mortification and aduise them thereunto? |
A07467 | Is it not thus? |
A07467 | Is not the Priest a sinner as I am? |
A07467 | It is true, that we may take a true oath? |
A07467 | Knowest thou not that hee is the father of the prodigall child? |
A07467 | Knowest thou not, that hee raised Lazarus from the dead, and that his all powerfull word in speaking a fiat, framed whatsoever seemed good vnto him? |
A07467 | Leuiathan answered, Knowest thou not that we z never sticke to take a false oath? |
A07467 | Leuiathan answered: What need all these words then? |
A07467 | Leuiathan answered: What? |
A07467 | Leuiathan said, What? |
A07467 | Leuiathan, among the supreame Seraphins, thou wert the third after Lucifer: What sayest thou now learned doctor? |
A07467 | Lewes answered, what should I doe? |
A07467 | Lewes why doest thou thus fore- slow thy comming? |
A07467 | Louyse vnderstandeth all this passingly well, her Father and Mother haue brought her vp to speake a great deale of latin, haue they nor? |
A07467 | Magdalene where are thy e teares? |
A07467 | Mary, why shouldest thou so affectionatly loue them? |
A07467 | May not hee exact this seruice from the Deuill, to enforce him to doe his will, when it shall be best pleasing vnto him? |
A07467 | Miserable Belzebub, was it not thou that wouldest haue throwne God from his seate of Maiesty? |
A07467 | Nay, why should it not rather agree vnto him, as being more capable of reason, speech, and all other actions, then a statue? |
A07467 | No, they must be obedient beyond others, for know you not that they are tempted by the Deuill beyond others? |
A07467 | Now if God who is the true Physition of your soules, shall aske you whether you be sicke or no, will you answere you are not sicke when you are? |
A07467 | Nunquid feriet tecum pactum,& accipies eum quasi seruum sempiternum? |
A07467 | Nunquid illudes ei quasi aui? |
A07467 | O Ioseph, thou diddest enquire after some lodging wherein you might retire your selues, but there was no roome in the Inne, and why? |
A07467 | O execrable Priest how carelesse art thou of thy dignity and calling? |
A07467 | O poore Princes, where is now your state and power, how cursed is hee that lendeth his eare vnto your sly suggestions? |
A07467 | O, O, O, Mercy( said Belzebub) how great art thou for the sinner, O Iustice, how seuere art thou against vs? |
A07467 | Others say, To what purpose should I confesse my selfe? |
A07467 | Otherwise to what purpose scrueth the authority of the Church, if oathes haue no tye or power? |
A07467 | Poore wretch looke well to thy selfe, alas, who will defend thee? |
A07467 | Quid mihi& tibi Iesu fili Dei altissimi? |
A07467 | Secundò he demanded of him, Whither the Church hath power and authority to command Diuels? |
A07467 | See you not that Belzebub is contrary vnto mee, and I to him? |
A07467 | Since then for the most part these kind of Witches are different in complexion, age, sex, and sect, how happeneth it that they should all dreame? |
A07467 | Speake now( illuminate doctor) defend thy selfe, O thou doctor of Heretickes? |
A07467 | Speake? |
A07467 | THE REPORT AND EXPLICATION OF the passage of S. Ierome, vpon the 1. chapter of the Prophet Nahum, where it is said: WHat doe you imagine against God? |
A07467 | Tell me if there bee any power or authority in the bookes of Exorcismes to force vs to take a true and a binding oath, answere mee now to this? |
A07467 | That night at supper Belzebub did nothing but grumble, and father Francis Billet said vnto him, Why doest thou snarle thus? |
A07467 | The Scripture teacheth vs these two points: the first in Ieremy, Inscrutabile est cor hominis,& quis cognoscet illud? |
A07467 | The good theefe of his owne accord confessed his sinne, and reproued his companion, What? |
A07467 | The other said, And how is the body heere, when it is said, that he sitteth at the right hand of God? |
A07467 | The same day in the euening was Magdalene exorcised by Mr. Paule, whereupon Belzebub being demanded whither the Diuell did torment Magicians or no? |
A07467 | The tables of great personages are abundantly profuse in delicacies, but what agreemēt is there betwixt Christ and Belial? |
A07467 | Then Belzebub began to cry: what, vnder the feete of men? |
A07467 | Then did the said father r ● ply, Cursed spirit, art thou not ashamed to resist thy God and thy Creator? |
A07467 | Then father Michaelis asked him, Quod tibi nomen: he answered, Leuiathan: Then he demanded of him againe; How many are there in her? |
A07467 | Then he added, what, doe madd women receaue the Communion? |
A07467 | Then he cried out as loud as he could: b who dares deny that Diuels may speake truth? |
A07467 | Then he said, will you not suffer mee to talke, who am an instrument in the discouery of these witches? |
A07467 | Then he spake in a great rage to her that was possessed, and said: What thinkest thou Louyse? |
A07467 | Then he spake to i Magdalene, and said; Well Magdalene, are you satisfied now? |
A07467 | Then hee confirmed this speech with a solemne oath, and after said, to what vse and purpose are wholesome waters if there be none to drinke of them? |
A07467 | Then said Belzebub, sir, you vnderstand it not, because you will not, knowe you not what Contremiscis meaneth: it is, why tremble you not? |
A07467 | Then said Leuiathan, What haue I to doe with this preacher? |
A07467 | Then said Verrine, wilt thou take an oath, as I will, affirming that there is but one God, one Baptisme, and one Church? |
A07467 | Then said the Diuell, can God compell a Diuell to deliuer truth? |
A07467 | Then said the Huguenot, q how prooue you that God hath commanded vs to pray to Saints? |
A07467 | Then shall they answere and say: What? |
A07467 | Then the Sub- priour said, Are not we to commit any mortall sinne by our Rule? |
A07467 | There are Angels, and there are Preachers, is it not so? |
A07467 | Thē Verrine addressing his speech to God, said: n What, Lord? |
A07467 | Thinke ye not that God is exceedingly incensed by these audacious prouocations? |
A07467 | Thou art he that doest suggest vnto the Nobility: What sir? |
A07467 | Thou art well skilled in latin, is this latin of the vulgar kinde or not? |
A07467 | Thou doest also suggest vnto them; what sir? |
A07467 | Thou hast inueagled thousands from him, and thinkest thou that hee will euer dissemble this? |
A07467 | To this Leuiathan replyed, are there not other Ambassadours? |
A07467 | To this he said, I am not yet satisfied in this point, but tell mee, how prooue you there is a Purgatory? |
A07467 | To this the Gentle- man said, How prooue you that the Church was the true Church? |
A07467 | To what end doe you exhaust your selues with studying, and doe so painefully imploy your selues in reading of bookes? |
A07467 | To what purpose doe men exorcise, and make interrogatories vnto diuels, if their replies be never consonant vnto truth? |
A07467 | To which Belzebub replied: Why should I worship this God? |
A07467 | To which Verrine answered, Doe not you your selues pray sometimes one for another? |
A07467 | Verrine added: Magdalene, tell me, didst thou neuer see k the Diuels? |
A07467 | Verrine answered him, it is an Article of your Creede; if you be wiser then God, why goe you not and pluck him from his Throane? |
A07467 | Verrine answered, z Why doest thou thus intreat mee? |
A07467 | Verrine being put to the question in these words, Cur miser vt soleb as non contremiscis? |
A07467 | Verrine further said vnto him: And of what religion art thou? |
A07467 | Verrine replied, Accursed spirit, darest thou sweare as I will? |
A07467 | Verrine said, Dost thou beleeue the true Church which is the Church of Rome, I know thou dost not beleeue it? |
A07467 | Verrine then said vnto him, What wouldest thou haue mee answere vnto? |
A07467 | Vnto these wee may propose the question, which Saint Athanasius once did to Arrius, Si quis Sathanam adoret, rectene an malé fecerit? |
A07467 | Vt, quid venisti ante tempus ● orquere nos? |
A07467 | WHether it be lawfull for a woman to discourse and reason in a Church? |
A07467 | Was it euer heard of before, that the Diuell should come to reprehend sinners? |
A07467 | Was it for your selfe alone? |
A07467 | What Belzebub, art thou returned? |
A07467 | What a ● hame will it be, that any should not be conuerted, whē ● he Diuell himselfe exhorteth them thereunto? |
A07467 | What doth the father then? |
A07467 | What doth this father then? |
A07467 | What hast thou then to do to present such to thy Sonne, who is puritie it selfe? |
A07467 | What inducement leadeth thee to be distrustfull of the bountie and mercie of thy Redeemer? |
A07467 | What is now become of thy strength? |
A07467 | What man can heere excuse himselfe? |
A07467 | What ought we then to cōceiue of Diuels, being adiured in the power of the name of God? |
A07467 | What saiest thou Louyse? |
A07467 | What saiest thou? |
A07467 | What say ye? |
A07467 | What seekest thou further? |
A07467 | What should become of the miserable sinner, if that all the Saints had liued in innocency? |
A07467 | What wilt thou with me, for thou hast called me? |

A07467 | Who would euer haue thought that her Sonne which she carried in her armes had beene the liuing God, Creator of Heauen and Earth? |
A07467 | Why art thou so fond ouer them; is not thy blessed Mother in heauen with an infinite number of Saints and Angels? |
A07467 | Why doe you rather chuse to lauish away your time, then to pray for the health of your soules? |
A07467 | Why is it, that those that are possessed be exorcised, if it bee not auaileable, and if the Diuell can not speake truth? |
A07467 | Why saiest thou thy Credo, if thou beleeuest not what I haue spoken? |
A07467 | Why therefore should you tremble at afflictions, troubles, persecutions, or whatsoeuer may deiect and make you humble? |
A07467 | Wilt thou exorcise Louyse, when shee is not possessed? |
A07467 | Wilt thou play with him as a bird, and tye a thread about his legg to keep him in, or to let him fly at thy pleasure? |

A07467 | must thou haue a Diuell to be thy Physitian, Apothecarie, and Surgeon? |
A07467 | must thou haue a Diuell to conuert thee? |
A07467 | my God, with what aboundant mercy hast thou brought back my soule from Hell, and endowed it with thy sanctified grace? |
A07467 | o Why should I praise him, whom I would, if it lay in my power, willingly disseate from the place he holdeth? |
A07467 | or to what end are these bookes of Exorcisines published? |
A07467 | q You will aske mee, how or by what meanes is hee there? |
A07467 | s Then he said, accursed wretches, do you deeme that the trauells of Preachers are nothing? |
A07467 | s Who will beleeue that the Diuell should thus endeuour to conuert Magdalene and the Magician? |
A07467 | said he not, that the Saints in heauen should no more hunger and thirst? |
A07467 | shall I goe any where from hence? |
A07467 | shall not the eternall Father haue regard vnto his Son, equall vnto him in power, wisedome, and bountie? |
A07467 | speakest thou nothing? |
A07467 | then he cried with a loud voice, Magicians& witches, God confound the whole rout of you: what seeke you heere in this Church? |
A07467 | thinke ye that God will suffer this iniquitie to branch vp higher? |
A07467 | thinkest thou that thou disputest with the woman heere? |
A07467 | thou must now beleeue Magdalen, dost thou looke for miracles, as many others doe? |
A07467 | to cast him headlong into hell? |
A07467 | wee could not come if wee were all at home, and how shall we now( when wee are but few) venture vpon that which many would not dare to vndergoe? |
A07467 | were you a hungrie? |
A07467 | were you thirstie? |
A07467 | what am I, that I should receiue such manifold blessings at thy hands? |
A07467 | what meane you to doe with your selfe? |
A07467 | what meanest thou to doe? |
A07467 | what of me, that haue so often transgressed against thee? |
A07467 | what saw you in him to draw you to such an action so derogatory( as it might haue seemed) from your States? |
A07467 | where are those gnawings and remorses of conscience? |
A07467 | where are those sighes which a penitent woman ought to haue? |
A07467 | where was the royall bed? |
A07467 | wherein haue they been seruiceable vnto thee? |
A07467 | who gaue thee authority to doe it? |
A07467 | why doest thou suffer thy selfe to be exorcised, if neither by God, nor the tenents of the Church we are able to tell the truth? |
A07467 | why then should I declare my sinnes before a Priest? |
A07467 | will you goe into this countrey? |
A07467 | will you yeeld to him, you are noble and of an ancient stock, why will you abase your selfe before a fellow of such cheapenesse? |
A07467 | you are a fountaine that can neuer be drawne dry, you are a sea of waters; you are the seller of all sorts so excellent wines, and doe you cry Sitio? |
A07467 | you that are such an illuminate doctor, what is it you now say? |
A42781 | & c. Can such an Heart as thine be the Temple of the Holy Ghost? |
A42781 | ''T is now time to speak to the other Question, which is, Whether and how far Satan knows things to come? |
A42781 | ( When they propound that Question, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?) |
A42781 | ( say they) can he judge through the dark clouds? |
A42781 | ( where the account of that tempting is given)''t is said, because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us or not? |
A42781 | 10. describes him by these neglects of Duty, Will he delight himself in the Almighty? |
A42781 | 41. while some were convinced and said, This is the Christ, others said, shall Christ come out of Galilee? |
A42781 | 9. Who can know it? |
A42781 | A Proud Heart will readily say, our Tongue is our own, or who is the Lord? |
A42781 | A tedious task? |
A42781 | Am I a Sea, or a Whale, that thou settest a Watch over me? |
A42781 | Among the Papists what less can be expected, when the same principle is entertained among them? |
A42781 | And can you think to break away from me so easily? |
A42781 | And then he Queries, Art thou such an one? |
A42781 | And then to what purpose( say they) is Prayer, or any endeavours? |
A42781 | Are not these unreasonable injunctions, Pray continually, Pray without ceasing; Preach in season and out of season? |
A42781 | Art thou not grown stupid, and senseless of all the hazards that are before thee? |
A42781 | Art thou not ready to tax him for dealing thus with thee? |
A42781 | Art thou that Prophet, and that Man ordained to Judg the World? |
A42781 | As David said to the Woman of Tekoah, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? |
A42781 | At what a loss is an unskilful Travellour, where so many wayes meet? |
A42781 | Besides( saith he) thou knowest the secret thoughts that thy Heart is privy to, do they not boyl up in thy Breast against God? |
A42781 | Besides, who can tell how much of God''s restraining grace may ly in this, of God''s limiting and straitning Satan''s Commission? |
A42781 | But Enquiry may be made, When do men run( uncalled and) unwarrantably upon Temptation? |
A42781 | But I have done so, and yet the Temptation is the same, and still continues? |
A42781 | But O how sadly is all this hindered by the disquiet of the Heart? |
A42781 | But how few are there that do thus know? |
A42781 | But how happy would it be for Men, if such failures of expectation might better inform them? |
A42781 | But how is it consistent with Truth that the Temptation should continue, when James tells us, that Satan will fly upon Resistance? |
A42781 | But it will be said, Satan pretends to this Rule, and it is Scripture that is urged by him? |
A42781 | But some( possibly) may say, Is it our Duty to sit still in such a case? |
A42781 | But the great Question is, What is this fear that is forbidden, and the Courage which is enjoined? |
A42781 | But the great difficulty is, how it may be known when Temptations are from Satan, and when from our selves? |
A42781 | But what occasioned all this? |
A42781 | But when we come to an impartial consideration of our manifold weaknesses and insufficiences in reference to these Services, what shall we say? |
A42781 | But who then inflames and stirs up the Heart to this Wickedness? |
A42781 | But you will say, Must all Men be confident of Adoption? |
A42781 | But( it may be further urged) must we when all Means fail, positively Trust in God for those very things which we might expect in an ordinary way? |
A42781 | But( may some say) If I judge such a motion to be a thing lawful, which doth proceed from Satan, What am I to do? |
A42781 | By this means he may widen the distance betwixt God and us, keep our Wounds open, make us a reproach to Religion: And what not? |
A42781 | Can Christ lodg in an Heart so full of horrid Blasphemies against him? |
A42781 | Can God prepare a Table in the Wilderness? |
A42781 | Can the Gifts of Enemies pass for Courtesies and Favours with any, but such as are bewitched into a blockish madness? |
A42781 | Can we reckon how often Satan hath been at this work? |
A42781 | Canst thou deny this? |
A42781 | David resolved, and strenuously endeavoured, to possess his Soul in Serenity and Patience,( for what could be more, than solemn engagement? |
A42781 | Did I not compel Peter to deny his Lord, notwithstanding his solemn profession to the contrary? |
A42781 | Did I not force those that were stronger than you? |
A42781 | Did I not make David number the People? |
A42781 | Did I not overcome him in the matter of Uriah? |
A42781 | Did the Heathen erect Images and Pillars, or keep the Ashes and Shrines of their Daemons? |
A42781 | Did the Heathen expect more particular aids from some of these Daemons in several cases than from others? |
A42781 | Doth he not carry a Design in his Mind for Months and Years against us? |
A42781 | Doth he not come again and again, with often and impudently repeated Importunities? |
A42781 | Eightly, Satan urged some of them in a during provoking way; If thou be the Son of God? |
A42781 | Every Christian should say, shall such an one as I fly? |
A42781 | First, from an Ignorance of the thing it self: how easily may they be Imposed upon, who know not the nature, or the usual Issues of things? |
A42781 | First; Whether Satan knows our Thoughts? |
A42781 | For can it be imagined in good earnest that Satan intends us a real good? |
A42781 | For who can alter his Decree? |
A42781 | For who can easily bear the noise of Satan while he shouts continually into their Ears odious Calumnies, and Blasphemous Indignities against God? |
A42781 | For why should God look upon thee more than another? |
A42781 | God himself owns it as a natural impossibility, Can the Ethiopian change his skin? |
A42781 | God''s question concerning Job, Hast thou considered my Servant Job? |
A42781 | Had the Heathen their Feasts, their Statas ferias to their Daemons? |
A42781 | Had the Heathens their dead Hero''s for Agents''twixt the supream Gods and Men? |
A42781 | Had they any more Holiness than they needed? |
A42781 | Had they their Februalia& Proserpinilia with Torches and Lights? |
A42781 | Hath the Lord forgotten to be Gracious? |
A42781 | Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
A42781 | Have they been able to rescue themselves? |
A42781 | Have those that have gone before you been able to deliver themselves from me? |
A42781 | He clave the Rock, but can he provide Flesh? |
A42781 | He complains as one utterly forsaken, Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A42781 | He is a jealous God, and will by no means acquit the guilty; Canst thou then with any shew of reason, conclude thy self to be his Child? |
A42781 | His Interrogation, Will the Lord cast off for ever,& c? |
A42781 | How astonishingly doth Spira speak to this purpose? |
A42781 | How canst thou deny this? |
A42781 | How come Men to put on a savage Nature, to act the part of Lions, Leopards, Tigars, if not much worse? |
A42781 | How common is it with them to play tricks with Women troubled with Hysterical Distempers? |
A42781 | How couragiously did they suffer the sharpest Torments? |
A42781 | How do ye stand? |
A42781 | How doth God know? |
A42781 | How easily he got him to the roof of the house in order to the Object to be presented to him? |
A42781 | How easily then is it for Satan to set our thoughts off our Work? |
A42781 | How easily then may Satan possess the Fancies of Men with Blasphemies? |
A42781 | How fair do they lye open to any conceit that may serve this end? |
A42781 | How fitly doth he resemble us to Children? |
A42781 | How frequently did the Prophets tax the Jews for this, that they fasted to themselves? |
A42781 | How frequently is this seen among Professors, where the Word hath a searching power and force upon them? |

A42781 | How impossible is it to cast up the total Sum of so many large Items? |
A42781 | How is Satan pleased to labour in a Design that will kindle the Wrath of the Almighty? |

A42781 | How little can a sickly Body do? |

A42781 | How shameful and abominable were the Lives of John of Leyden, and the rest of those German Enthusiasts? |
A42781 | How slyly and secretly doth he put us upon what he intends as a further snare? |
A42781 | How suddenly are all things changed? |
A42781 | How weak and childish are Sinners that suffer themselves thus to be abused? |
A42781 | I said I will look to my ways, and what endeavours could be more severe, than to keep himself as with Bit and Bridle? |
A42781 | I see sin is a strong in me as ever? |
A42781 | If Art can do all this, how much more may we suppose can Satan do? |
A42781 | If Men give way to this, what reason can be imagined to stand before them? |
A42781 | If a Man sets his Face toward Heaven, thus he endeavours to scare him off; Is not( saith he) the way of Religion a dull, melancholy way? |
A42781 | If all these particulars be weighed, what presumptuous act can be propounded by Satan which Pride may not lead to? |
A42781 | If any put that Question to him, which the Jews did to Christ; By what Authority dost thou these things? |
A42781 | If any question, how can these things be? |
A42781 | If any yet further enquire, how he can do these things? |
A42781 | If but few are saved, a thousand to one thou art none of them? |
A42781 | If it be demanded, How and by what Arts he renders the Means so plausible? |
A42781 | If it be questioned, What Satan''s Authority is? |
A42781 | If it was so great a mischief to Eve in Innocency( as hath been said) to delay her peremptory denial, of how much greater hazard is it to us? |
A42781 | If not, where is thy Grace? |
A42781 | If the Shallow Brooks be too strong for us, what shall we do in the swellings of Jordan? |
A42781 | If these Priviledges and Mercies will not discourage Satan, what will? |
A42781 | If thou beest indeed such as he testifyed, give some proof of it? |
A42781 | If we look into our selves we find it true, to our no small trouble and hazard: Doth he at any time easily desist, when we give him a Repulse? |
A42781 | If we slacken our Care never so little they recoyle, and tend to their old Byas; and how easie is it for him to take off our hand? |
A42781 | In Popery nothing hath been more ordinary; who knows not the Story of the Holy Maid of Kent, and the Boy of Bilson? |
A42781 | In other places of the World, how long such things continued, who can tell, especially seeing they were found at Carolina not so very long since? |
A42781 | In the Apostles times, how quickly had the Devil broached false Doctrine? |
A42781 | Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress? |
A42781 | Is it not Satan? |
A42781 | Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub? |
A42781 | Is it possible it should be Washed and Sanctified, when it produceth such filthy cursed thoughts? |
A42781 | Is not here the Voice of a despairing Man? |
A42781 | Is not this Scripture? |
A42781 | Is not this thy fear, thy Confidence, thy Hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? |
A42781 | Is not thy Heart hardned to everlasting destruction? |
A42781 | Is there any sorrow like to my sorrow? |
A42781 | Is there knowledg in the most High? |
A42781 | It is not a toile? |
A42781 | Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be Reproabates? |
A42781 | Let it( I say) be left to the consideration of Men, how it should be, without some such extraordinary Cause as hath been mentioned? |
A42781 | Lord, why castest thou off my Soul, why hidest thou thy Face from me? |
A42781 | Many such fits David had, and in them, complained at this rate, Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A42781 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A42781 | Nay how impossible is it, to make that expression of the Apostle,[ he was tempted in all points like as we are,] to agree to an imaginary Temptation? |
A42781 | Now, albeit there are arguments at hand, and serious considerations to deter us from practice, yet how are all laid aside by a quick resolve? |
A42781 | O Fiatres adjuvate me, nepeream, nonne vid ● tis Daemonum agmina, qui me debellare,& ad Tartara ducere festinaut, quid hic astas cruenta bestia? |
A42781 | Of the same extract is that old song of the Papists, Where was your Religion before Luther? |
A42781 | Or the Maximum quod sic; the highest degree of sin, consistant with true Grace? |
A42781 | Or, If I have, what is that to you? |
A42781 | Or, what will become of me? |
A42781 | Quis est ille Deus, ut serviam illi? |
A42781 | Satan goes on: What greater evidence can there be of an hardned Heart, than Impenitency? |
A42781 | Secondly, But in things doubtful, where there is not a clear certainly, what is Truth? |
A42781 | Shall we Sin, that Grace may abound? |
A42781 | Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
A42781 | Shall we think it strange that Satan hath ways of conveying false apprehensions upon Mens minds? |
A42781 | Sixthly, All this might be futher proved by Instances: What Temptation can be named wherein Satan hath not acted as a Serpent? |
A42781 | So here is also an evident respect to God''s Testimony concerning, Christ, as if he had said, hath God said, thou art his Son? |
A42781 | So may we say, is not the hand of Satan with thee in every Sin thou committest? |
A42781 | So that if Adam in Innocency understood the Nature of Things, how much more exactly and fully must we imagine Satan to know them? |
A42781 | Solomon''s exclamination, a wounded Spirit who can bare? |
A42781 | Some make enquiry what may be the difference betwixt a wounded Spirit, in the Regenerate and the Reprobate? |
A42781 | Some may possibly question, Whether all extraordinary Agonies of Soul, upon the apprehension of eternal Damnation, be not the fruits of Melancholy? |
A42781 | The Devil expresseth a disdain and scorn of our weak opposition, as Goliah did of David, Am I a Dog, that thou comest to me with Staves? |
A42781 | The Devil suggests, Can God be faithful, and never keep Promise for help? |
A42781 | The Heart is deceitful above all things: But why is the deceitfulness fixed upon the Heart? |
A42781 | The Heavens are not clean in his sight, how much more abominable and filthy then art thou? |
A42781 | The Scripture affords enough of this nature, as the Boast of Nebuchadnezzar; Is not this great Babel that I have built? |
A42781 | The Wrath of God expressed to the Conscience, brings the greatest Terrour; Who knows the power of thine Anger? |
A42781 | The acknowledgment of the Witches Power,[ Why hast thou disquieted me?] |
A42781 | Therefore say they unto God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes; who is the Almighty that we should serve him? |
A42781 | These if they meet with Pains or Troubles,( and who can challenge an exemption from them?) |
A42781 | Thirdly; That Malice must needs be great, that will pursue a small matter: what small game will the Devil play, rather than altogether sit out? |
A42781 | This disorder of Thoughts Christ took notice of in his Disciples when they were in danger, Why do thoughts arise in your hearts? |
A42781 | This may put Men upon enquiries, who are ye for? |
A42781 | This was the Voice of Pride in Pharaoh, Who is the Lord, that I should serve him? |
A42781 | Thou canst not mourn enough? |
A42781 | Though I speak, my Grief is not asswaged; and though I forbear, what am I eased? |
A42781 | Thus he pleads it; Can any thing be more plain, than that thou hast eaten and drunken unworthily? |
A42781 | Thus he urgeth it, Can any thing be more plainly and fully asserted? |
A42781 | To come without an Heart, or with our Idols in our Heart, is it any thing of less scorn than to say, Tush, doth the most High see? |
A42781 | To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices? |
A42781 | Upon this supposition, that these Texts speak of wilful sinning in the General; How little can be said against Satan''s Argument? |
A42781 | Upon this the Devil starts the question to his Heart, whether it be not better to forbear all Duty, and to do nothing? |
A42781 | Was he real in that command, that you should not Eat at all,& c. the like he doth to Christ, Is it true? |
A42781 | Was it that Satan thought to prevail against him? |
A42781 | We can scarce imagine what ways he hath to divert and hinder them, by what private discouragements he doth defer them, who can tell? |
A42781 | Were it not better to work with our hands for a Morsel of Bread, for so might our Sleep be sweet to us at Night, and we should not see these sorrows? |
A42781 | Were we free, what Calling would we not rather chuse? |
A42781 | What Songs of rejoycing had they? |
A42781 | What a fit of affection had the Israelites when their Eyes had seen that miraculous deliverance at the Red Sea? |

A42781 | What can Humility, Modesty, and sense of Guilt, speak in such a case? |
A42781 | What could be more the Devil''s design, and Esau''s satisfaction, than to have had Jacob slain? |
A42781 | What duty is there that is not neglected or defiled? |
A42781 | What expectation could he have to prevail against him, who was Anointed with the Oyl of Gladness above his Fellows? |
A42781 | What fear and jealousie must this produce? |
A42781 | What greater hinderance can there be to Conversion, than Errour? |
A42781 | What grief of heart? |
A42781 | What have I do with thee? |
A42781 | What is Christian Reproof, if it be not rightly suited to season, and opportunity? |
A42781 | What is this untowardness, but desperate obdurateness? |
A42781 | What progress then in this work of delusion might be expected, when they were all removed out of the World? |
A42781 | What rages, outrages, Madnesses, and extravagances have Men run into? |
A42781 | What shall we say of these things? |
A42781 | What shall we say to these things? |
A42781 | What strange answers Spira gave to those that pleaded with him? |
A42781 | What then canst thou think of thy self, but that thou art a damned Wretch? |
A42781 | What traditionary imitations had they of the Creation recorded in the Book of Genesis? |
A42781 | What unspeakable hindrance must this be to Paul? |

A42781 | When we urge a Divine Prohibition against a Temptation, what can he say in Answer? |
A42781 | Whence came the Doctrine of Purgatory, but from hence? |
A42781 | Where are the Gods of Hamath — that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? |
A42781 | Where speaking, that our unrighteousness did commend the righteousness of God, he falls upon that reply, Why then am I judged as a sinner? |
A42781 | Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? |
A42781 | Whether all distresses of Soul arise from Melancholy? |
A42781 | Which, how apt it is( when fretted with Vexation) to entertain harsh thoughts of God? |
A42781 | While they were in the highest admiration of the kindness, saying, What shall I render to the Lord? |
A42781 | Who can say, he is certainly excluded out of God''s Decree? |
A42781 | Who can suppose less in this matter, than that Satan, having him at advantage, hurried him to this rashness? |
A42781 | Who can understand it truly, but he that feels it? |
A42781 | Who could be more confident than Peter, that he would not deny his Master, whatever others did, and yet how soon did his Heart fail him? |
A42781 | Who could have thought Joash had been so much under Satan''s power, that had observed his ways all the time of Je oiada the Priest? |
A42781 | Who hath wrought all this but Satan? |
A42781 | Who is weak, and I am not weak? |
A42781 | Who reads the story of Hacket, and Coppinger, without detestation of their wicked Practices? |
A42781 | Who shall be able to open the depths of it? |
A42781 | Who shall declare it fully to the Sons of Men, to bring these hidden things to light? |
A42781 | Who suspects not the hand of Satan in this? |
A42781 | Who then is the proper Author of Deceit but he? |
A42781 | Who will neglect a spark upon dry Tinder,( that would not have it consumed) and not instantly put it out? |
A42781 | Who will permit Leaven to remain in that Mass, which he desires may not be leavened, and not quickly remove it? |
A42781 | Who will suffer a seditious Incendiary in an Army, formerly inclined to Mutiny? |
A42781 | Who would not be weary of their Lives, that must be forced to undergo this Vexation still without intermission? |
A42781 | Who would not wonder to hear the Replies that some will give to the arguings of their Friends, that labour to comfort them? |
A42781 | Why art thou cast down, O my Soul? |
A42781 | Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my Roaring? |
A42781 | Why castest thou off my Soul? |
A42781 | Why castest thou off my Soul? |
A42781 | Why did I not give up the ghost, when I came out of the belly?) |
A42781 | Why died I not from the Womb? |
A42781 | Why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? |
A42781 | Will the Lord cast off for ever? |
A42781 | With what Face or Hope can we expect from God help against these, when we provoke him to leave us to our selves, by indulging our selves in the other? |
A42781 | With what confidence and security will Sin be practised when an Opinion signs a Warrant, and pleads a Justification for it? |
A42781 | Would Wise, Sober, holy Men have said or done such things, if they had not been transported beyond themselves? |
A42781 | Would he continue them long under their sorrows, or take them upon all occasions at his pleasure, or act them to a greater height than ordinary? |
A42781 | Would he terrifie by Fears, or distress by Sadness? |
A42781 | Would it then be fit to give Satan this advantage? |
A42781 | Ye shall know them by their Fruits: Do Men gather Grapes of Thornes, or Figs of Thistles? |
A42781 | You may say, What is there of direction for us in this Case? |
A42781 | You will say, How must we try? |
A42781 | and a condition which will make you a terrour to your selves, and a burthen to others? |
A42781 | and also concludes him to be wicked, Who ever perished being innocent? |
A42781 | and brought forth fruit to themselves? |
A42781 | and by putting out his Power do a thousand things astonishing and wonderful? |
A42781 | and can this be Errour, where there is so much Holiness? |
A42781 | and commits a rape by a malicious violence upon their Imaginations? |
A42781 | and if not, then what may the difference be betwixt those that proceed from Melancholy, and those that are properly the Terrours of Conscience? |
A42781 | and in such cases, what can ordinarily hinder a belief that they hear or see such things? |
A42781 | and such Hatred, Contradictions, Scorns, and Injuries from Enemies? |
A42781 | and that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands? |
A42781 | and the Sabbath, that we may set forth Wheat? |
A42781 | and then''t is easy for the Devil to add, And why do you wait on the Lord any longer? |
A42781 | and to pretend the casting out of Devils, when they have only to deal with a natural Disease? |
A42781 | and where were the righteous cut off? |
A42781 | and wherefore am I thus disquieted with Monsters? |
A42781 | and who knoweth us? |
A42781 | and who shall deliver thee out of my hand? |
A42781 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
A42781 | and yet what more presumptuous? |
A42781 | are not his Mercies clean gone? |
A42781 | are they all Damned? |
A42781 | can he be merciful when he turns away his ears from the cry of the miserable? |
A42781 | can you be in love with an heart loaden with grief, and perpetual fears almost to distraction? |
A42781 | can you eat Ashes for Bread, and mingle your Drink with Tears? |
A42781 | can ● e give Bread? |
A42781 | cur non me carcere, inediâ, squalore consectum liberat? |
A42781 | doest thou think to stand it out against me? |
A42781 | doth not the fear that is in thy heart shew an unwillingness; mayest thou not plead, the evil that I would not do, that do I? |
A42781 | except we also say, that we are only tempted visionarily and not really? |
A42781 | hast thou considered him as thou usest to do? |
A42781 | hast thou not already consented? |
A42781 | hast thou not tasted and seen? |
A42781 | hath God forgotten to be Gracious? |
A42781 | hath he not forgotten to be gracious? |
A42781 | have the Gods of Hamath and Arpad,& c. delivered their Land out of my hand? |
A42781 | have ye mourned to me? |
A42781 | how are pious Persons affrighted to see the Face of their Thoughts made abominably ugly and deformed by these violent and unavoidable Injections? |
A42781 | how can he steal a Temptation upon us with such secresie? |
A42781 | how easily can he make Apparitions, present strange Sights to the Eye, and Voices to the Ear? |
A42781 | how like you to go Mourning all the day, and at night to be scared with Dreams and terrified with Visions? |
A42781 | how sadly afflicting would it be for any Child of God to observe such things in his own Imaginations? |
A42781 | how unawares, while we think of no such thing, are we carried sometime upon the borders of Sin, and into the enemies quarters? |
A42781 | how would nature reluct and abominate the drinking down of noisome pudled Water, or the swallowing of Toads and Serpents? |
A42781 | if thou yield, will not God account it a rape upon thine integrity? |
A42781 | is his Mercy clean gone for ever? |
A42781 | is it not easy for him to convey Voices to the Ear, or shapes and representations to the Eye? |
A42781 | might reap from this, that Christ imagined himself to be tempted, when really he was not so? |
A42781 | no surely, do we not see that the Senses may be cheated, and that the Fancies of Men may be corrupted? |
A42781 | or can it be so as that Voice declared, that thou art the Son of God? |
A42781 | or to admit him so far into our reasoning? |
A42781 | or was he unwilling to part with what he so liberally proffered? |
A42781 | or what it must cost? |
A42781 | or wherein was the Messenger to be blamed? |
A42781 | or whether we did not wander from the beginning? |
A42781 | or, Who gave thee this Authority? |
A42781 | or, are you wiser than your Fathers? |
A42781 | quid proderit si oraverim? |
A42781 | shews indeed what he did once think, being misled by Satan, but withal that he would never do so again, Will the Lord cast off for ever? |
A42781 | si presens est cur non succu ● ris? |
A42781 | that is, is all thy Religion come to this? |
A42781 | that it was a weaning and tyring out the Patience of a long- suffering God; Is it a small thing for you to weary Men, but will you weary my God also? |
A42781 | the great Power of Satan; who can tell the extent of it? |
A42781 | they sin, though with reluctancy, and doest not thou resist? |
A42781 | to what purpose was it made, if it might not be tasted? |
A42781 | what Defiances? |
A42781 | what Fierceness, Prejudices, Slanders, Evil- surmises, Censurings, and Divisions hath this brought forth? |
A42781 | what Sin that is not some way or other committed? |
A42781 | what advantage is it that we have thus run, and laboured, when we have got nothing? |
A42781 | what are your resolutions, and undertakings? |
A42781 | what bandying of Parties against Parties, Church against Church, hath been produced by this Engine? |
A42781 | what care could be more hopeful to succeed, than to be dumb with silence?) |
A42781 | what diligence would we use to cast Water upon these devouring Flames, and to pluck Men as Brands out of the Fire? |

A42781 | what sad thoughts have they then of themselves? |
A42781 | when all the usual ways of supply fail us, must nothing be attempted? |
A42781 | where are his Promises? |
A42781 | where is his pity when he multiplies his wounds without cause? |
A42781 | wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? |
A42781 | while you see others in the mean time enjoy themselves in a contented peace? |
A42781 | who can imagine the cunning that Satan used with David in the matter of Vriah? |
A42781 | who can stand before such an holy Lord God? |
A42781 | who shall deliver me? |
A42781 | whose Servants are ye? |
A42781 | why doth the Righteous Lord suffer Satan to break open my Heart, and fill me with such fearful Thoughts? |
A42781 | why hidest thou thy Face from me? |
A42781 | will be always call upon God? |
A42781 | will you chuse a Life that is worse than Death? |
A42781 | will you exchange the comforts and contents of Life, for a melancholly Heart, and a dejected countenance? |
A42781 | with what bashfulness and amazedness do we appear at our next Supplications; what blushing, what damps, what apology? |
A42781 | — What dreadful Agonies were these, that put him to these Wishes? |
A85783 | ''T is as possible that all, as any should; and how can Christ part with his mystical members and not with his glory? |
A85783 | ''t is hell sets it on fire; is it of the hand? |
A85783 | (* saith God to Israel) what uncorrigible, though the Lords voice crieth unto the City, bidding you hear the rod, and him that hath appointed it? |
A85783 | 1 First, Is man but fraile flesh? |
A85783 | 2 Secondly, Is man flesh? |
A85783 | 3 Is the ignorant soul such a slave to Satan? |
A85783 | A naughty heart( like Amnon) pines while his lust hath vent, Again, what musick do the atchievements of Christ in the world make in thy eare? |
A85783 | A woman may love one as a friend? |
A85783 | Absalom regnandi causâ what will he not do? |
A85783 | Again, Consider the Christian, as addressing himself to any duty of Gods worship, still his strength is in the Lord; Would he pray? |
A85783 | Again, he will ask the Christian what was the time of his Conversion; Art thou a Christian( will he say) and dost thou not know when thou commencedst? |
A85783 | Again, how great advantage hath Satan from the want of this charity in our families? |
A85783 | Ah soule, who would ever have thought there could have lien such pride under such a modest veile? |
A85783 | Alas, how little a portion of it shalwe know here? |
A85783 | Alas, what is the killing of bodies to destroying of soules? |
A85783 | Alas, what is the strength of frail flesh, to the force of their spiritual nature? |
A85783 | Alas, where is the Christian that doth fully stand clear, and freely come his off his own righteousnesse? |
A85783 | Am I better then such a one that proved naught at last? |
A85783 | And are not the children of a Christian his children as well as the Jewes were? |
A85783 | And do not many walk as if they grudged Christ the honour of saving their soules? |
A85783 | And doth not God deserve the best service thou canst do him in thy generation? |
A85783 | And how can love to God be preserved in a discontented heart, that is alwayes muttering against him? |
A85783 | And how canst thou look him on the face for more, who hast imbezell''d what thou hast received? |
A85783 | And how fares he at Zoar? |
A85783 | And how is it possible that any can sin upon a higher guilt, and go to hell under a greater load of wrath? |
A85783 | And how must God needs love that creature, whom he carried so long in the wombe of his eternal purpose? |
A85783 | And how shall they compare their way and the Word together, if not instructed? |
A85783 | And is not the Word of God worth more then these? |
A85783 | And is there nothing( Christian) thou canst think on, wherein thou mayest eminently be instrumental for God in thy generation? |
A85783 | And must not the Ark needs shake, when they that carry it are thus struck at, both in their person and office? |
A85783 | And therefore( Christian) lose no time, but what thou meanest to do for God, do it quickly: Art thou a Magistrate? |
A85783 | And thou clapest downe on thy seat to sleep; O how darest thou put such an affront upon the great God? |
A85783 | And was it so great a cruelty to do this? |
A85783 | And what a grief to thy spirit will it be, to see these going to hell on thy errand, and thou not able to call them back? |
A85783 | And what can you do more acceptable to him, then to be faithful in it, as a businesse on which he hath set his heart so much? |
A85783 | And what hast thou here to minde like this? |
A85783 | And what more miserable sentence can God himself passe upon you? |

A85783 | And why should a short evil of paine affright thee more, then the deliverance from a continual torment of sins evil ravish thee? |
A85783 | And why( my dear friends) should not the life of your soules be much more precious in your own sight then mine? |
A85783 | Are Ordinances God, that they should make you strong or comfortable? |
A85783 | Are not heaven and happinesse things desirable, and to be preferr''d before sin and misery? |
A85783 | Are not these the reasonings of a soul that forgets who appoints these? |

A85783 | Art thou convinced this is a sinne, and that is a duty? |
A85783 | Art thou going to give an almes? |
A85783 | Art thou humbling thy selfe for thy sin? |
A85783 | Art thou poor, why doest not exercise grace in that condition? |
A85783 | Art thou weak? |
A85783 | As I have heard sometimes a mother say in other respects, Who can take such pains with my childe, and be so careful as my self that am its Mother? |
A85783 | As that good woman answered one, that coming from Sermon, ask''t her what she remembred of the Sermon? |
A85783 | Asa out of State- policy joynes league with Syria, yea, pawns the vessels of the Sanctuary, and all for help, and what comes of all this? |
A85783 | Ask thy soul soberly and solemnly, Art thou provided for this day, this evil day? |
A85783 | Ask thy soul, as Elisha his servant, Whence comest thou, O my soul? |
A85783 | Be thou strong and very couragious, that thou mayest: what? |
A85783 | Briefly what is this duty, put on? |
A85783 | But doth not this seem to countenance sin, and make Christians heedlesse, whether they fall into temptation or no? |
A85783 | But how can a Saint be said to be proud of his grace? |
A85783 | But how can or may a Saint be said to trust in his grace? |

A85783 | But how should we know the false accusations of Satan from the rebukes of God and his Spirit? |
A85783 | But how would you direct us against this? |
A85783 | But in what respects then may the day of affliction be called evil? |
A85783 | But is all armour that is of God thus mighty? |
A85783 | But is it possible that such should do this work for the devil? |
A85783 | But is this all? |
A85783 | But take a soul not perswaded of this how uneven and unstable is he in his obediential course? |
A85783 | But was not that a particular priviledge granted to him, which may be denied to another? |
A85783 | But what help have we against this sort of Satans temptations? |
A85783 | But what was that to this? |
A85783 | But where live those giants, that dare enter the list with the great God? |
A85783 | But why an Abraham? |
A85783 | But why doth God now communicate his love? |
A85783 | But why doth God permit this Apostate- creature, to exercise such a Principality over the world? |
A85783 | But why leaven? |
A85783 | But you will say, What will you have us do in this case to withstand the cavils of Satan, in reference to our duties? |
A85783 | But you will say, what needs all this? |
A85783 | By trusting in thy own works thou doest worse by Christ, and shalt thou excel in grace? |
A85783 | Can you conceive an accident to be out of its subject, whitenesse out of the wall, or some other subject? |
A85783 | Can you expect truth from a liar, and comfort from an enemy? |
A85783 | Canst thou not watch with Christ one houre or two? |
A85783 | Christ and his members make one Christ: now is it possible a piece of Christ can be found at last- burning in hell? |
A85783 | Darest thou say thou hast no grace at all? |
A85783 | Darest thou trust God with thy soule, and the affaires of it in well- doing? |
A85783 | Did God ever mean Religion should be such a toilsome businesse as this would make it? |
A85783 | Did he ever prophesie well of believers? |
A85783 | Did he give thee grace to lay it up in a dead stock, and none to be the better? |

A85783 | Doest thou walk by this rule? |
A85783 | Doth he give us our precious time to be employed in catching such butterflies as these earthly honours and riches are? |
A85783 | Doth it not behove thee to write thy Copy faire, when such a Critick reades and scans it over? |
A85783 | Every son whom he loves he corrects; and prosperity in a wicked state, must it not be read a curse? |
A85783 | FIrst of the first, How may a Christian judge whether grace be declining in him or no? |
A85783 | First of the first, That ye may be able to withstand in the evil day; But what is this evil day? |
A85783 | First, art thou uniforme in thy pursuit? |
A85783 | First, consider these spiritual gifts are not thy own, and wilt thou be proud of anothers bounty? |
A85783 | First, for the first, how meanly doth the Spirit of God speak of man, calling him flesh and blood? |
A85783 | First, hast thou come indeed to God for strength to performe duty, to mortifie corruption and the like? |
A85783 | First, how came he into the throne? |
A85783 | First, the Saint improves his earthly things for an heavenly end, where layest thou up thy treasure? |

A85783 | Fourthly, whom doest thou sympathize with? |
A85783 | God had tried him to purpose a little before in an affliction; what needs this? |
A85783 | God intended these things for our use, not enjoyment; and what folly is it to think we can squeaze that from them, which God never put in them? |
A85783 | God saith, To day, while it is to day: The devil saith, To morrow; which wilt thou obey, God or him? |
A85783 | God, or thy lusts? |
A85783 | Gods threatenings will go off at last and then where art thou? |
A85783 | Good man, how blank he is, and cries out, I am vile, what shall I answer thee? |
A85783 | HOw shall I stand in a defensive posture( may the Christian say) against these wiles of Satan as a Troubler? |

A85783 | Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote h ● m? |

A85783 | He indeed that dies without knowledge, dies in his sinnes: and what more fearful doome can the great God passe upon a creature then this? |
A85783 | He is under the rule of Satan, and government of hell, What tongue can utter, what heart can conceive the misery of this state? |
A85783 | He puts a cheat on his father, and did not Laban put a cheat on him, giving Leah for Rachel? |

A85783 | If God do thus shew his love to his Saints after their falls and foiles, why should we be so shy of sin, which ends so well at last? |
A85783 | If I should measure my life by the joy of it,( as indeed who doth not?) |
