A25963 | Ah God, how great is thy greatnesse? |
A25963 | Ah Lord God, how much better is it thus to have thee, then to have all things out of thee? |
A25963 | Ah Lord God, that art so glorious here in Grace, how transcendently glorious art thou in Glory? |
A25963 | Ah how good is thy great goodnesse? |
A25963 | Ah how low, how low is it, to know any thing but thee, O God? |
A25963 | Ah how sweet a thing is it to serve the Lord? |
A25963 | Ah if I could, if I could, alwaies possesse these, what would I care for them? |
A25963 | Ah if the want of the World be so sweet when in its want we find no want, how sweet then, yea how much sweeter is Heavens fulnesse? |
A25963 | Ah what a most deformable thing is man? |
A25963 | And dost thou find that all that thou dost is nothing to what thou wouldst, and desirest and longest to do? |
A25963 | And if our Joys be so great here on earth, in the midst of fears, Ah how great shall they be in Heaven? |
A25963 | Art thou conformable to Christ thy head, thy husband, thy Lord, and thy King? |
A25963 | Awake, awake, from the dead thou carelesse man, why sleepest thou? |
A25963 | But Ah then how incomprehensible and great is the love of the Creator, for, and unto us his Creatures? |
A25963 | But what is man that he should be clean, and the Son of man that is borne of a woman, that he should be righteous? |
A25963 | Death Ah how comly art thou in the sight of all Gods children? |
A25963 | Dost thou feel thy heart heartily to long for the knowledge of God and all his waies, to love, fear, serve, honour and obey him? |
A25963 | Dost thou much more love heaven for God than God for heaven? |
A25963 | How loathsome, Ah how loathsome am I to my self, and yet not so much by much as I would be? |
A25963 | How much nothing, O Lord, is all other things to thee: And how much above all things, O Lord, art thou to me? |

A25963 | We ● e it not, and would it not be much better for me, that I were not, and that I never had been? |

A30213 | Ay, but Lord, what wilt thou do to quench their thirst? |
A30213 | But how much more now? |
A30213 | But how? |
A30213 | But of what? |
A30213 | But to slight Grace, to do dispite to the Spirit of Grace, to prefer our own works to the derogating from Grace; what is it, but to contemn God? |
A30213 | But what are they? |
A30213 | But what is Ancle deep, to that which followeth after? |
A30213 | But whence must this come? |
A30213 | But who understands this, who believes it? |
A30213 | But why? |
A30213 | Can these teach him to manage his knowledge well? |
A30213 | Can''st thou live always,( and no where else but) in the water? |
A30213 | Do you count them pure with the wicked balances? |
A30213 | Fifthly, Doth this Water of Life run like a River? |
A30213 | For wherein can Grace or Love more appear, than in his laying down his Life for us? |
A30213 | How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water? |
A30213 | How shall we escape, if we neglect so great Salvation? |
A30213 | How shall we escape, if we turn away from him, that speaketh from Heaven? |
A30213 | I say what less than a River could do it? |
A30213 | If the Father, or the Son, or the Holy- Ghost are gracious, if they were not all gracious, what would it profit? |
A30213 | If the wrath of a King, is as Messengers of Death: If the wrath of the King is as the roaring of a Lion: what is the wrath of God? |
A30213 | If thou ask, where that dwelling is? |
A30213 | Is Grace thy proper Element? |
A30213 | Is the Doctrine offered unto thee so? |
A30213 | Now it may be asked, What is the Throne of Grace? |
A30213 | Sinner, Sick- sinner, what sayest thou to this? |
A30213 | Sixthly, But what is all this to the dead World? |
A30213 | They talk of the Philosophers Stone, and how, if one had it? |
A30213 | Thorow what righteousness? |
A30213 | Thou art in a strait, wilt thou fly before Moses, or with David fall into the hands of the Lord? |
A30213 | Was it not therefore well worth the seeing? |
A30213 | Well, what shall be done for this man? |
A30213 | Were all the World gracious, if God were not gracious, what was man the better? |
A30213 | Who is it that would not have the benefit of Grace, of a Throne of Grace? |
A30213 | Why? |
A30213 | Will they not rather put him upon all tricks, evasions, irreligious consequences and conclusions, such as will serve to cherish Sin? |
A30213 | but can it turn all things into Grace? |
A30213 | but to accept of Grace, specially when''t is free Grace, Grace that reigns, Grace from the Throne; how sweet is it? |
A30213 | but who is it that can live by Grace? |
A30213 | can it make all things work together for good? |
A30213 | can''st thou live in the Water? |
A30213 | has not this River pleasant streams? |
A30213 | how can that be, since they are hurtful? |
A30213 | how hot will that make Wrath? |
A30213 | is not this excellent Water? |
A30213 | like a broad, full, and deep River? |
A30213 | or is it muddy and mixed with the Doctrines of men? |
A30213 | to contemn him when he is on the Throne, when he is on the Throne of his Glory? |
A30213 | to them that love to be dead? |
A30213 | what are a thousand such short Comparisons to the unsearchable Love of Christ? |
A30213 | what less than a River, could quench the thirst of more than Six hundred thousand men, besides women and children? |
A30213 | who would not but be a subject to it? |
A30213 | who would not but worship before it? |
A30213 | will his God humour him, and answer his desires? |
A30213 | wilt thou go to Hell for Sin, or to Life by Grace? |
A30213 | wouldest thou wade, wouldst thou swim? |

A49717 | Sed spero; et quae spes mea nisi tu solus? |
A49717 | Shall the dust give thanks unto thee, or shall it declare thy truth? |
A49717 | Supererogatur tibi ut debeas,& quis habet quicquam non tuum? |
A49717 | TU ipse si quos laesisti, petisne ab iis veniam, ut& tibi remittant? |
A49717 | Te servari non posse nisi ea credas? |
A49717 | Up Lord, why sleepest thou? |
A49717 | Visne hoc illis, qui in te peccarunt, tuo nomine significari; Te illis quantum in te est noxas omnes remisisse? |
A49717 | What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? |
A49717 | Why art thou so full of heaviness, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
A49717 | and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our Hosts? |
A49717 | imo vixisse te male, saepeque& graviter peccasse? |
A49717 | quanta patientiae copia? |
A49717 | quo fugiam? |
A49717 | vel suntne peccata aliqua, quae gravent Conscientiam tuam, ut peculiaris Absolutionis beneficio tibi sit opus? |
A52431 | Again at another time it utterly disowns it, as when it says, To whom then will ye liken God, or what likeness will ye compare unto him? |
A52431 | Again, whence is it that Truth is present in all places, and that independently upon our thinking or knowing? |
A52431 | And for what is all this? |
A52431 | And how can this be, but by my having a confuse glance of that Being in whom are all things, and who is All? |
A52431 | And if God be so intimately united to my Soul, how can I otherwise conclude but that''t is in him that I see all that I see? |
A52431 | And now is this a choice for a wise Man, for a Man of common Sense? |
A52431 | And shall that Being be Proud which was once nothing, and needs only a meer Negative to bring him to nothing again? |
A52431 | And that he could not, does not that Prayer of our Saviour argue, which he used in his Agony? |
A52431 | And what can all this be but the Essence of God as Exhibitive, the Ideal World? |
A52431 | And what is it that so suddenly augments it, when''t is beheld through a Telescope? |
A52431 | But much more, What is Man that he should so regard himself? |
A52431 | But now what is before Being it self? |
A52431 | But now what should afterwards diminish this Species, and what is become of those parts whereof it consisted, when it appear''d greater? |
A52431 | But says not the Scripture also the same? |
A52431 | But this Prayer of his, was not granted by the removal of the Cup, and may I not thence conclude that''t was impossible it should be removed? |
A52431 | But what is this to the disproportion between the highest particular Being, nay all the particular Beings that are or can be, and Being it self? |
A52431 | But, alas, what are such expedients as these to the Omniscience and Omnipresence of God? |
A52431 | But, now, how can this be, but by my having all things actually present to my mind? |
A52431 | But, now, what Original can be so mean as to come from nothing? |
A52431 | Darest thou do works of Darkness in the presence of him who is pure Light, and in whom there is no Darkness at all? |
A52431 | Darest thou rush on when the Angel of God''s Presence stands in the way with a drawn Sword? |
A52431 | Divine Fountain of Love,''t is from thee I receive all my Love, and upon whom should I place it but upon thee? |
A52431 | First, What love or desire is, or wherein the general Nature of it does consist? |
A52431 | For I would fain know what they can mean else by the celebrated Glass of the Divinity? |
A52431 | For in what else can I see it, nothing being so intimately Presential to me as God? |
A52431 | For is it consistent with the Accuracy of Infinite Wisdom to mis- call any thing? |
A52431 | For what can we possibly conceive before Being it self? |
A52431 | For what is it that he chuses? |
A52431 | For what should support such Relations? |
A52431 | For where are these Universal Natures? |
A52431 | For, whereas every thing that is possible, is made the Object of the Divine Power, a nice enquirer may here demand, What do you mean by Possible? |
A52431 | Has this superadded Beauty all the Perfection of the first, or has it not? |
A52431 | I am but little and inconsiderable with thee, and what then should I be without thee? |
A52431 | If then this be not the Idea of God, wherein shall we fix it? |
A52431 | In relation to the first, if it be demanded, What it is to be an Irregular Lover? |
A52431 | Is Devotion a Rational thing, or is it not? |
A52431 | MY God, my Light, what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou so regardest him? |
A52431 | Nay, is it a choice for a Man in his right Wits to make? |
A52431 | Nay, shall the presence of a Child divert thee from sinning? |
A52431 | Now what can this signifie but this Ideal World, or the Essence of God as variously exhibitive and representative of things? |
A52431 | Now who would desire a better Establishment of Platonic Ideas, than what Aristotle himself has here given? |
A52431 | Now, what can this one independing, and ever- present Nature be, but God? |
A52431 | O thou Circle of Excellency, thou endless Orb of Perfection, where shall I begin to love thee? |
A52431 | O, my God, why is not my Faith like thy Power? |
A52431 | Or what Beauty is there whose influence may vye with thine? |
A52431 | Or whither shall I go then from thy Presence? |
A52431 | Shall such a one deter thee from sin, and dash in pieces the frame of thy ill designs, and darest thou sin before thy God? |
A52431 | The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom then shall I fear? |
A52431 | The Psalmist says, Tremble thou earth at the presence of God, and darest thou sin in his Presence? |
A52431 | The fire that descends from Heaven, where should it be spent but upon the Altar? |
A52431 | The simple Essences therefore must exist eternally, if their Relations do? |
A52431 | This premised, I demand how a Child comes to understand the first Language which he learns? |
A52431 | Thou canst do all things; And why is my Faith limited? |
A52431 | Were a Man to beg an Estate, would one need a better demonstration of a Man''s being a Fool, than such a procedure as this? |
A52431 | What Temptation then can I have to leave thee? |
A52431 | What can this be but the Ideal World representing all the Essences of things? |
A52431 | Whence is it that''t is alike discern''d by different minds, and by the same mind at different times? |
A52431 | Whither shall I go then from thy Spirit? |
A52431 | Who can number the Lords Host? |
A52431 | Who made these Mutable Fairs, but the Immutable Fair? |
A52431 | Will a Man commit Murther in the open Court, before the Face of his Judge? |
A52431 | and where can that be but in the Mind of God? |
A52431 | says he, From the things which he has made? |
A52431 | that he should regard himself for that which is least of all his own, his Knowledge and Wisdom? |
A52431 | what shall I say unto them? |
A25835 | ( while the Magistrate can but force the outward man) And God only who can punish it? |
A25835 | 37. what shall I do to be saved? |
A25835 | Again, is it not schism and division that lessens the Common strength by dispersing it into many smaller societies? |
A25835 | And again as thy Jesus, dost thou feel the power of his death killing sin in thee? |
A25835 | And again, what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A25835 | And as thy Lord, dost thou yield to the sanctifying work of his word and spirit? |
A25835 | And do you not see how little it doth for them in their greatest need? |
A25835 | And ever since, how is it the body of the Child only, the frailer and viler part, which is from the substance of the Parents? |
A25835 | And how fearful should we be to have any hand in their utter undoing? |
A25835 | And what can all the world be to this? |
A25835 | As for every faithful Minister of Christ, how exceeding careful should they be for the Souls committed to their charge? |
A25835 | Be assured Christ will erelong say to the, as Eliab to David, with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? |
A25835 | Do these so complain of Gods absence in part, and for a while? |
A25835 | For what is it but the Soul which thus distinguisheth us from brute beasts? |
A25835 | For why should they attend us as ministring spirits, if our Spirits were not of an excellent angelical nature, and fit to minister unto God? |
A25835 | Hast thou hereupon been heartily willing to receive Christ as offered in the Gospel, for thy Lord, as well as thy Jesus or Saviour? |
A25835 | Have we not matters of life or death to look after? |
A25835 | Have we not then need to be watchful to the uttermost of our power, and to be carefull all the ways we can, for their safety and preservation? |
A25835 | Have you not sometimes considered with your self, how soon the world and its pleasures will turn you off? |
A25835 | Have you not sometimes enjoyed the pleasures of sin for a season, and flattered your self with the long continuance of them? |
A25835 | How can you but now and then take notice of your own frailties which tell you, how certainly and shortly you must lie down in the dust? |
A25835 | How doth the Commonness of these worldly things abate the value of them? |
A25835 | How exceeding careful should they be to save themselves, and those that hear them? |
A25835 | How grievous to cry peace, and then be overtaken with trouble, and sudden destruction unawares? |
A25835 | How grievous to lose thy Soul, when perhaps thou wert near the saving it? |
A25835 | How is it God only, from whom it is, who can effectually command the Soul to subjection? |
A25835 | How is there in worldly things a vanity of deceitfulness which also speaks them less valuable? |
A25835 | How many of those who saw the miracles, and heard the sermons of our Blessed Saviour himself, and his holy Apostles, continued unconverted? |
A25835 | How many people come to the world as to a lottery, looking for a prize, but go away cheated with a blank? |
A25835 | How often doth the world by promising much, and performing little, first abuse our Judgements, and then frustrate our hopes and expectations? |
A25835 | How sadly is holy David and our Blessed Saviour afflicted at Gods absence in part, and for a while? |
A25835 | How very careful then, so far as concern''d, should we be of the welfare and salvation of the Souls of others? |
A25835 | Is the Soul more worth then a world? |
A25835 | Is the Soul so precious, and the loss of it so dreadful? |
A25835 | Is the losse of the precious Soul so exceeding great and dreadful? |
A25835 | Moreover, why should such store of other mercies be provided for us? |
A25835 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A25835 | O what a glorious thing, how rich a prize for the expence of a mans whole life, were it, to be the instrument of rescuing any one Soul? |
A25835 | Or cause thy day of grace to end before thy natural life? |
A25835 | Or leave thee to thy self, to follow thy own hearts lusts? |
A25835 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A25835 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A25835 | Separation joyn''d with a wanting of the Spirit of Christ? |
A25835 | The creature if parted from God, is empty, and the Soul too; and what fulness can be had by adding one emptiness to another? |
A25835 | The question is put so as to include a strong denyal: What is a man profited? |
A25835 | Turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? |
A25835 | What can follow but confusion of face, when thou shalt see thy neighbours and acquaintance most happy, and thy self most miserable? |
A25835 | What can more clearly demonstrate the preciousness of it, then the greatness of that price which he payd for it? |
A25835 | What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole World and lose his own Soul? |
A25835 | What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own Soul? |
A25835 | What is it but the Soul which is the fountain of precious life, and therefore much more precious in it self? |
A25835 | What is it but the Soul, by which you are thinking, reading, or asking, what a Soul is? |
A25835 | What is the hope of the Hypocrite, though he hath gained:( though he hath gained never so much) when God taketh away his Soul? |
A25835 | What shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A25835 | What will it profit a man though he gain the whole world, and lose his own Soul? |
A25835 | Which of us should not be afraid to consent to any wilful sin, if we verily thought we should dye presently upon the doing of it? |
A25835 | Why hidest thou thy face from me? |
A25835 | Why should God, if it were not for our precious immortal Souls, give us the Scriptures, and an excellent religion to shew us the way to happiness? |
A25835 | Why should we inordinately set our hearts and affections on that which is not? |
A25835 | Why too should Ministers be appointed by him, to preach, and pray, and labour for us, if we had not such precious Souls to save or lose? |
A25835 | Ye have taken away my Gods, and what have I more, and what is this ye say unto me, what aileth thee? |
A25835 | and how do those Powers shew the worth of the Soul it self? |
A25835 | and shall not the Saints and Angels, be so far from pitying, as rather with rejoycing to glorifie Gods Justice in thy utter destruction? |
A25835 | and shall they be such exceeding great losers that lose their Souls, though by the gaining of the whole world? |
A25835 | doth he by his bloodshed not only pardon thy sins, but also save and deliver thee from them? |
A25835 | or give thee up to a spirit of slumber and stupidity? |
A25835 | or when thou groundlessly flatteredst thy self, thinking thou shouldest do well enough? |
A25835 | what amazement seiseth on that mans spirit, who being in a fair way of thriving, hears unexpected news, that all he had is lost and gone? |
A25835 | what are become of those precious Souls of thy Children or Servants which I intrusted thee with? |
A25835 | who could justly blame us for making more a do then needs? |
A25835 | who could reasonably count us too earnest or too busie? |
A25835 | why castest thou off my Soul? |
A36933 | After this, when he went up into a Mountain to pray; What followed upon this? |
A36933 | And how know I but this may be my last day too? |
A36933 | And wherefore this, but to shew us the admirable effects of Prayer? |
A36933 | Art thou a lover, a follower, a procurer of Peace among those with whom thy conversation is? |
A36933 | But how long wilt thou forget me, Lord, for ever? |
A36933 | But then when our past sins are pardoned, where shall we find a Remedy against future Temptations? |
A36933 | But then you will say, Where is there Command for this? |
A36933 | But what is to be done then in this case? |
A36933 | But will the Lord absent himself for ever? |
A36933 | By what Title shall I call thee, or how shall I sufficiently adore Thee? |
A36933 | Dost thou give the worship that is due unto the Creat or, to any of his Creatures, either Saint or Angel? |
A36933 | Dost thou shew forth thy Charity this day in works of mercy to them that stand in need of thee? |
A36933 | Dost thou willingly give ear to Slanderers, and to such as go about with lies; or dost thou abhor them both in thy self and others? |
A36933 | Dost thou worship God in or by an image, or any other way which either he hath forbidden, or not commanded? |
A36933 | Doth he hear thee? |
A36933 | For O how many are they on whom the Morning Sun hath shined, that shall not live to see it set? |
A36933 | For ever? |
A36933 | For whom have I in Heaven but thee, or whom shall I desire on earth in comparison of thee? |
A36933 | Hast thou abused either God''s Name, or any of his Creatures in Curses or bitter Execrations? |
A36933 | Hast thou been either causelesly or sinfully angry? |
A36933 | Hast thou born Malice, Hatred or Revenge in thine heart? |
A36933 | Hast thou broken any voluntary, religious, deliberate Vow, made purposely to God and his glory? |
A36933 | Hast thou compassionate bowels? |
A36933 | Hast thou consented to them, or hast thou rejected them? |
A36933 | Hast thou defrauded Servants of their wages, Labourers of their hire, or Creditors of such debts as thou art able to satisfie? |
A36933 | Hast thou deliberately pleased thy self with any foul lascivious thoughts, or continued in them, to a delight? |
A36933 | Hast thou done this, or wherein hast thou failed? |
A36933 | Hast thou doubted at any time of his Providence, or of his Power, of his Justice, Mercy, or any other of his Attributes? |
A36933 | Hast thou entertained secret covetings in thy thoughts, with any delight or complacency? |
A36933 | Hast thou forgiven, hast thou loved thy Enemy for Christ''s sake, who loved thee when thou wert yet his Enemy? |
A36933 | Hast thou given God, upon all occasions offered, the honour due unto his Name? |
A36933 | Hast thou given credit to vain Predictions of men, to Dreams or Fortune- tellers, or gone about to know any secret thing by lot? |
A36933 | Hast thou in thy Prosperity forgot thy God, or in thy Adversity hast thou put thy confidence more in worldly helps than in him? |
A36933 | Hast thou injured no man in his rights? |
A36933 | Hast thou really in thy Thoughts no other Gods but him? |
A36933 | Hast thou respected thy spiritual Guides, such as labour for thy Soul; or hast thou grieved or despised any of those whom thou art bound to honour? |
A36933 | Hast thou said any thing falsly that hath been injurious to the good name and reputation of another? |
A36933 | Hast thou set up nothing in Competition with him, no Pride, no Pleasure, no Ptofit, no Self- Love, no Self- Interest of thine own? |
A36933 | Hast thou sworn any thing false, knowing it to be so, making the Name of God a Broker to thy Lies? |
A36933 | Hast thou upon all occasions assisted them to thy power, and offered up daily Prayers to God for them? |
A36933 | Hast thou, to thy power fed and clothed them whom thou hast known to be ready to perish with cold and hunger? |
A36933 | Hath God forgotten to be gracious, or will he shut up his loving kindness in displeasure? |
A36933 | Hath God said, That every knee shall bow to him, and shall any of us think to be dispenc''d with? |
A36933 | How have I spent it? |
A36933 | How is it, O my Lord, that I still offend thee; or why fall I so often into my former follies? |
A36933 | How long shall I seek counsel in my Soul, and so vexed in my heart? |
A36933 | How long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and my spirit be thus troubled within me? |
A36933 | How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me? |
A36933 | How long wilt thou hide away thy face from me? |
A36933 | How shall I employ it? |
A36933 | I. DOst thou apprehend God as an infinite, incomprehensible Essence, without framing to thy self any bodily shape or form of him that is invisible? |
A36933 | I. DOst thou really believe, O my Soul, that there is a God, or hast thou set some secret touches of Atheism within thee? |
A36933 | I. HAst thou kept the Lord''s day holy, or hath it been as a common day unto thee? |
A36933 | I. HAst thou loved, honoured and obeyed thy Parents, thy King and Sovereign, and all that have a lawful authority over thee? |
A36933 | I. HAst thou taken away from others by deceit or violence, that which belongs not to thee? |
A36933 | I. HAst thou upon all occasions been witness to the truth, without fear or flattery? |
A36933 | I. HAst thou used vain, impertinent customary Swearing? |
A36933 | If I am your Master, where is my fear? |
A36933 | In the Evening, What have I done this day? |
A36933 | Is he present? |
A36933 | Is it the saving of thy Soul, or the satisfying of thine earthly Desires? |
A36933 | Let my love of Thee make up the knowledge that is wanting; For what should Misery be in love withal, but Mercy? |
A36933 | O Most Great God, what shall I say in Thy presence, when I come to pray to Thee? |
A36933 | Or hast thou labour''d to restrain them and quench them in their first beginnings? |
A36933 | Or hast thou pleased thy self either in inventing or spreading rumors of that kind? |
A36933 | Or is he merciful? |
A36933 | Or where should Mercy exercise it self but where there is so much Misery? |
A36933 | Our Saviour kneeled, who knew no sin; and is the posture too low for us, that are nothing else but sin? |
A36933 | Saith the same Father; What can be more holy than he who is admitted to treat familiarly with God? |
A36933 | Sometimes after a more passionate way: How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? |
A36933 | V. Hast thou been careful of thine own life, or hast thou any way hastened thine own end by wilful Intemperance or Disorder? |
A36933 | V. Hast thou delighted in wanton company, in unchaste songs, or unclean discourses? |
A36933 | V. How far hast thou kept that great and solemn Vow which was made for thee in Baptism? |
A36933 | V. In your Morning Devotions you are to say within your self, What shall I do this day which God hath given me? |
A36933 | Was it not his Prayer, Father, I have sinned against Heaven, and against thee? |
A36933 | What can they want who are admitted to this Privacy? |
A36933 | What humble gestures? |
A36933 | What is thy Design? |
A36933 | What is thy business thou art to negotiate? |
A36933 | What moved and softned the heart of the Father of the Prodigal Son to such a tenderness? |
A36933 | What profound reverence? |
A36933 | What thy Pretension? |
A36933 | What words wilt thou use to move thy God to hear thee? |
A36933 | Where is thy God whom thou comest to Treat with? |
A36933 | Who can tell how oft he offendeth? |
A36933 | Will he be no more intreated? |
A36933 | Will he help thee? |
A36933 | Would you know why? |
A36933 | or hast thou any ways spoken of him without fear or reverence? |
A36933 | or hast thou seriously considered thy frequent and dangerous violations of it? |
A36933 | or what can hinder thee to save the Soul thou camest into the World for? |
A36933 | why art thou troubled about many things? |
A63668 | And now what remains for a poor Penitent to do more, but humbly and earnestly to beg thy Pardon? |
A63668 | And this being so, will thy offended Eather be so rigorous as to require the same payment again? |
A63668 | And what shall I say more? |
A63668 | And what shall become of us before night, who are weary so early in the morning? |
A63668 | And when I consider that I am the chief of Sinners, may I not urge the Father, and say, Shall the very chief of thy business be left undone? |
A63668 | And wilt thou now shew thine anger against a Worm, against a Leaf, against a Vapour that vanisheth before thee? |
A63668 | But if he takes felicity in things of this world, where will his felicity be when this world is done? |
A63668 | But what am I? |
A63668 | But, O my weak Soul, what dost thou fear? |
A63668 | By what means doth Jesus Christ our Lord convey all these Blessings to us? |
A63668 | Canst thou exact the utmost farthing of him who hath not a mite of his own to pay thee? |
A63668 | Did his Priestly Office then cease? |
A63668 | Especially will he require it of me, a poor, a broken, and a bankrupt Sinner? |
A63668 | For thou hast said that no unclean thing shall come within thy sight: and how then shall I appear, who am so miserably defiled? |
A63668 | How did God make man? |
A63668 | How did God perform the promise? |
A63668 | How did Jesus Christ work this promised Redemption for us? |

A63668 | How suitable is it to thy only End of coming into the World? |
A63668 | How then could he be our Redeemer, and the promised seed of the Woman? |
A63668 | How then did man become sinful and miserable? |
A63668 | How would my drooping Spirits revive at such a sound? |
A63668 | IN what does true Religion consist? |
A63668 | If Abraham, who had the honour to be called thy Friend, could say that he was but Dust and Ashes, O what am I? |
A63668 | If the Man according to thine own heart could say that he was a Worm, and no Man, O what am I? |
A63668 | LOrd, come away, Why dost thou stay? |
A63668 | Lord, carest thou not that I perish? |
A63668 | Nay, what had become of thine own Disciple who with Oaths and Curses thrice denied thee? |
A63668 | No, let me live in thy sight? |
A63668 | O how easie is it for thee to forgive? |
A63668 | O just and dear God, how long shall I confess my sins, and pray against them, and yet fall under them? |
A63668 | Or which is worse, shall I go on? |
A63668 | Shall I continue in my Sins that Grace may abound? |
A63668 | Thou that wouldest have all men saved? |
A63668 | Thou who wouldst have none to perish? |
A63668 | VVhat is the Sacrament of the Lords Supper? |
A63668 | WHat shall I say more unto thee, O thou that art the Judge of the whole Earth? |
A63668 | WHen, Lord, O when shall we Our Dear Salvation see? |
A63668 | Was it not for the sins of the whole world? |
A63668 | Was man good or bad when God made him? |
A63668 | Was man left in these evils without Remedy? |
A63668 | What Ministeries hath Christ appointed to help us in this duty? |
A63668 | What Promises hath Jesus Christ made us in the Gospel? |
A63668 | What are we tied to perform towards them? |

A63668 | or who shall ever give thee thanks in that bottomless pit? |
A63668 | what profit is there in my Bloud? |
A63668 | what unknown place Shall hide it from thy face? |
A27805 | 10 Doest thou shew wonders among the dead: or shall the dead rise up again and praise thee? |
A27805 | 10 Hast thou not cast us out, O God: wilt not thou, O God, goe out with our hosts? |
A27805 | 10 Or he that nurtureth the heathen: it is he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he punish? |
A27805 | 10 Shall the dust give thanks unto thee: or shall it declare thy truth? |
A27805 | 10 Wherefore do the heathen say: Where is now their God? |
A27805 | 10 Who will lead me into the strong city: and who will bring me into Edom? |
A27805 | 11 For why? |
A27805 | 11 Hast not thou forsaken us, O God: and wilt not thou, O God, goe forth with our hosts? |
A27805 | 11 I will say unto the God of my strength, Why hast thou forgotten me: why goe I thus heavily while the enemy oppresseth me? |
A27805 | 11 O God, how long shall the adversary do this dishonour: how long shall the enemy blaspheme thy name, for ever? |
A27805 | 11 Shall thy loving kindnesse be shewed in the grave: or thy faithfulnesse in destruction? |
A27805 | 11 Tush( say they) how should God perceive it: is there knowledge in the most Highest? |
A27805 | 11 What reward shall I give unto the Lord: for all the benefits that he hath done unto me? |

A27805 | 12 Shall thy wondrous works be known in the dark: and thy righteousnesse in the land where all things are forgotten? |
A27805 | 12 Who can tell how oft he offendeth? |
A27805 | 12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedge: that all they that goe by, pluck off her grapes? |
A27805 | 12 Why withdrawest thou thy hand: why pluckest not thou thy right hand out of thy bosome to consume the ● nemy? |
A27805 | 13 Namely, while they say dayly unto me: Where is now thy God? |
A27805 | 13 Thinkest thou that I will eat buls flesh: and drink the bloud of goats? |
A27805 | 13 Thy way, O God, is holy: who is so great a God( as our God?) |
A27805 | 14 And why? |
A27805 | 14 Lord, why abhorrest thou my soul: and hidest thou thy face from me? |
A27805 | 14 Wherefore should the wicked blaspheme God: while he doth say in his heart, Tush, thou God carest not for it? |
A27805 | 14 Why art thou so vexed, O my soul: and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
A27805 | 16 But unto the ungodly said God: Why dost thou preach my Laws, and takest my Covenant in thy mouth? |
A27805 | 16 Who will rise up with me against the wicked: or who will take my part against the evill doers? |
A27805 | 16 Why hop ye so ye high hils? |
A27805 | 17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who is able to abide his frost? |
A27805 | 17 Thy righteousnesse, O God, is very high: and great things are they that thou hast done, O God, who is like unto thee? |
A27805 | 2 For thou art the God of my strength, why hast thou put me from thee: and why goe I so heavily while the enemy oppresseth me? |
A27805 | 2 How long shall I seek counsell in my soul, and be so vexed in my heart: how long shall mine enemies triumph over me? |
A27805 | 2 How long will ye give wrong judgement: and accept the persons of the ungodly? |
A27805 | 2 Mine eyes long sore for thy word: saying, O when wilt thou comfort me? |
A27805 | 2 My soul is a thirst for God, yea, even for the living God: when shall I come to appear before the presence of God? |
A27805 | 2 O ye sonnes of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour: and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing? |
A27805 | 2 Wherefore shall the heathen say: Where is now their God? |
A27805 | 2 Who can expresse the noble acts of the Lord: or shew forth all his praise? |
A27805 | 20 And why? |
A27805 | 20 They spake against God, also, saying: Shall God prepare a table in the wildernesse? |
A27805 | 20 Wilt thou have any thing to doe with the stoole of wickednesse: which imagineth mischief as a law? |
A27805 | 21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee: and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? |
A27805 | 21 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and holden up our hands to any strange God: shall not God search it out? |
A27805 | 24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face: and forgettest our misery and trouble? |
A27805 | 3 And why? |
A27805 | 3 For the foundations will bee cast down: and what hath the righteous done? |
A27805 | 3 If thou Lord wilt be extream to mark what is done amisse: O Lord, who may abide it? |
A27805 | 3 Lord, how long shall the ungodly: how long shall the ungodly triumph? |
A27805 | 3 Lord, what is man that thou hast such respect unto him: or the son of man that thou so regardest him? |
A27805 | 3 My soul is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou punish me? |
A27805 | 3 My tears have been my meat day and night: while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God? |
A27805 | 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord: or who shall rise up in his holy place? |
A27805 | 31 For who is God but the Lord: or who hath any strength except our God? |
A27805 | 4 For why? |
A27805 | 4 How long shall all wicked doers speak so disdainfully: and make such proud boasting? |
A27805 | 4 How many are the dayes of thy servant: when wilt thou be avenged of them that persecute me? |
A27805 | 4 How shall wee sing the Lords song: in a strange land? |
A27805 | 4 O Lord God of hosts: how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth? |
A27805 | 4 What is man that thou art mindfull of him: and the son of man that thou visitest him? |
A27805 | 4 Which have said, With our tongue we will prevail: we are they that ought to speak, who is Lord over us? |
A27805 | 41 For why? |
A27805 | 45 Lord, how long wilt thou hide thy self, for ever: and shall thy wrath burn like fire? |
A27805 | 46 Oh remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men for nought? |
A27805 | 47 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death: and shall he deliver his soul from the hand of hell? |
A27805 | 48 Lord, where are thy old loving kindnesses: which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? |
A27805 | 5 Are not they without understanding that work wickednesse: eating up my people as if they would eat bread? |
A27805 | 5 For in death no man remembreth thee: and who will give thee thanks in the pit? |
A27805 | 5 Lord, how long wilt thou be angry: shall thy jealousie burn like fire for ever? |
A27805 | 5 Mine enemies speak evill of me: when shall he dye, and his name perish? |
A27805 | 5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest: and thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? |
A27805 | 5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of wickednesse: and when the wickednesse of my heels compasse me round about? |
A27805 | 5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so high: and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth? |
A27805 | 5 Why art thou so heavy, O my soul: and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
A27805 | 5 Wilt thou be displeased at us for ever: and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another? |
A27805 | 6 For who is he among the clouds: that shall be compared unto the Lord? |
A27805 | 6 There be many that say: Who will shew us any good? |
A27805 | 6 Whither shall I go then from thy Spirit: or whither shall I go then from thy presence? |
A27805 | 6 Why art thou so full of heavinesse( O my soul:) and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
A27805 | 6 Wilt thou not turn again and quicken us: that thy people may rejoyce in thee? |
A27805 | 6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams: and yee little hils like young sheep? |
A27805 | 7 And what is he among the gods: that shall be like unto the Lord? |
A27805 | 7 And why? |
A27805 | 7 And why? |
A27805 | 7 Behold, they speak with their mouth, and swords are in their lips: for who doth hear? |
A27805 | 7 Have I not remembred thee in my bed: and thought upon thee when I was waking? |
A27805 | 7 Thou, even thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when thou art angry? |
A27805 | 7 Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever: and why? |
A27805 | 7 Will the Lord absent himself for ever: and will hee be no more intreated? |
A27805 | 8 And why? |
A27805 | 8 Any why? |
A27805 | 8 Have they no knowledge, that they are all such workers of mischief: eating up my people as it were bread? |
A27805 | 8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever: and is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore? |
A27805 | 8 Take heed ye unwise among the people: O ye fools, when will ye understan ●? |
A27805 | 8 Thou tell ● st my flittings, put my tears into thy bottle: are not these things noted in thy book? |
A27805 | 9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious: and will he shut up his loving kindnesse in displeasure? |
A27805 | 9 He that planted the eare, shall he not heare: or hee that made the eye, shall he not see? |
A27805 | 9 What profit is there in my bloud: when I go down to the pit? |
A27805 | 9 Who will lead me into the strong city: who will bring me into Edom? |
A27805 | ARE your minds set upon righteousnesse, O ye congregation: and doe ye judge the thing that is right, O ye sons of men? |
A27805 | But concerning him I must say, as S. Paul said of the unbeleevers, What have I to doe with them that are without? |
A27805 | HOw long wilt thou forget me( O Lord) for ever: how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? |
A27805 | Have pity on me now in the time of mercy, and condemne me not when thou commest to judgement, for what profit is there in my bloud? |
A27805 | How long, O Lord, how long shall we seek for rest and finde none? |
A27805 | How shall we stand upright in the eternall scrutiny? |
A27805 | IN the Lord put I my trust: how say ye then to my soul, that she should flee as a bird unto the hill? |
A27805 | LOrd, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle: or who shall rest upon thy holy hill? |
A27805 | Lord, I tremble when I remember that sad truth, If the righteous scarcely be saved, where then shall the wicked and the ungodly appear? |
A27805 | Lord, what is man that thou art mindfull of him: and the son of man that thou so regardest him? |
A27805 | MY God, my God,( look upon me) why hast thou forsaken me: and art so farre from my health, and from the words of my complaint? |
A27805 | O God wherefore art thou absent from us so long: why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture? |
A27805 | O just and dear God, where shall I appear? |
A27805 | Psalme ad verbum, saith the Tradition of the Church, and that he began it, saith the Scripture, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A27805 | THe Lord is my light and my salvation, whom then shall I fear? |
A27805 | Thy way, O God, is holy: who is so great a God as our God? |
A27805 | WHy boastest thou thy self, thou ● yrant: that thou canst doe mischief? |
A27805 | WHy doe the heathen so furiously rage together: and why do the people imagine a vain thing? |
A27805 | WHy standest thou so farre off( O Lord:) and hidest thy face in the needfull time of trouble? |
A27805 | Where shall we appear in the day of Judgement? |
A27805 | the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom then shall I be afraid? |
A27805 | who shall plead for me that am so loaden with impurities, with vanity, with ingratitude, with malice, and the terrors of an affrighting conscience? |
A47291 | 9. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity? |
A47291 | AND besides all these Offences against thee, my God, how many ways have I trespassed against my Brethren also? |
A47291 | And against the Senfe and Convictions of your own Mind, which knows you ought not to have done so? |
A47291 | And against your own many, ● ost solemn, and repeated Promies to the contrary? |
A47291 | And are you fully purposed to ● ut forth these obedient endeavours, ● n hopes thereof? |
A47291 | And are you fully sensible and convinced now, how little there is in them, and how soon you may be, or are like to be taken from them? |
A47291 | And are you purposed by his Grace, to watch still against them the best you can, for the time to come? |
A47291 | And are you ready and resolved by God Grace, not to shew the same, when it shall lie in your way, either to profit or hurt them? |
A47291 | And are you willing that he should do this when he pleases, and contented to wait his time for it? |
A47291 | And do you look up to him for Assistance and Deliverance, and depend upon him to take it off again? |
A47291 | And do you truly desire, that they may still grow more and more? |
A47291 | And if so, when, and by whom? |
A47291 | And that all which you now suffer, is far less than you have deserved to suffer? |
A47291 | And that it is all sent for your Good? |
A47291 | And to fix your Hopes and Desires upon God and Heavenly things, which you will always find an Help at hand, and a solid comfort in your Need? |
A47291 | And when? |
A47291 | And will you prepare to give a good account thereof? |
A47291 | And will you* break off your Sins by Alms- Deeds, according as God has enabled you, and your iniquities, by giveing to the Poor? |
A47291 | And ● o you wish with all your Soul, that ● hey never had been done? |
A47291 | Are you heartily sorry, that those endeavours have not been more ● erfect in you hitherto? |
A47291 | Are you now offended with ● our Self, and sorrowful from the ● ottom of your Heart, that ever ● ou yielded to commit them? |
A47291 | Are you perswaded, that your present* Sickness is sent unto you by Almighty God? |
A47291 | Are you truly sensible of his Exceeding Great Love therein, and from the Bottom of your Heart, are you Thankful to him for the same? |
A47291 | But whither should a Wretch Guilt and Misery look, but unto the Fountain of Mercy? |
A47291 | DO you desire, that all persons, whom you have any ways offended, would forgive you? |
A47291 | DO you from your Heart forgive those, who have injured or offended you, as you expect Forgiveness of your Offences at God''s Hands? |
A47291 | DO you unfeignedly, and from your Heart, believe the Truth of those things, which are p ● ofessed in this Creed? |
A47291 | Do you believe and acknowledge, not only his Justice, but also his Kindness therein, as in a Father''s Visitation? |
A47291 | Do you desire therefore, to keep your Heart loose and taken off from the same? |
A47291 | Do you earnestly beg God''s pardon thereof? |
A47291 | Do you earnestly desire, that ● ou may never yield to commit ● hem any more, nor consent hereafter to repeat the same? |
A47291 | Do you heartily pray, that God would forgive them? |
A47291 | Do you lay aside all ill Will, and all Desires, and Purposes of Revenge towards them? |
A47291 | Do you remember any Person in particular, to whom you would have so much told, or signified in your Name? |
A47291 | Do you thank God from your very Soul, that you were born, and bred up in this Belief, and do you desire to die in it? |
A47291 | Do you therefore submit to it quietly, and without murmuring, because he sent it? |
A47291 | Hath God forgotten to be gracious? |
A47291 | Have you any Scruples about any Points thereof, or about any other great Matters of Religion, wherein you are desi ● ous to have Satisfaction? |
A47291 | Holy Father, in devout Reflections? |
A47291 | House of Israel? |
A47291 | How Irreverent, Insincere, and liveless in my Prayers? |
A47291 | How careless in observing thy manifold, and great Mercies? |
A47291 | How faint and languid, in believing, and relying on thy Promises, when I have stood most in need thereof, and Danger has threatned any Duties? |
A47291 | How fearfull to exposemy self, in owning of thy Injured Name or cause, and in shewing a concern and Zeal for thy Service? |
A47291 | How hard sometimes to be reconciled to thy Will, and to own the Wisdom and Goodness of thy Orderings? |
A47291 | How unlike am I to that Image of thine, wherein at first thou madest Man, and how far have all the powers of my Soul faln from what they should be? |
A47291 | If so, do you intend by God''s leave to have the same signified to them? |
A47291 | If so, who shall do it? |
A47291 | If you have been more wanting in it in time past, will you be more carefull and Liberal therein, for the time to come? |
A47291 | In Conversation, how prone am I to take opportunities of instilling my own Praise, and of detracting from the praise of others? |
A47291 | In bargaining and Acts of Justice, how apt am I to lean to my own profit, and to press upon my Neighbours? |
A47291 | In opportunities of Charity and good Offices, how is my affection in doing good streightned, by too quick an Eye to mine own ease and interest? |
A47291 | Is his mercy clean gone for ever? |
A47291 | Lord, carest thou not that I perish? |
A47291 | Lord, who shall stand? |
A47291 | Lord, why castest thou off my Soul? |
A47291 | Or for any hasty, and unconsidered stirrings, and first Motions of sinful Lusts? |
A47291 | Or who shall do it? |
A47291 | Or, if as brethren in Iniquity, and companions in Sin, you have hardned one another by sitting at it together, do you desire the same for them? |
A47291 | WILT thou break a leaf driven to and fro? |
A47291 | Whither, ● ● to a God, whose Mercy is greater than our Wickedness? |
A47291 | Will the Lord cast off for ever? |
A47291 | Will you be careful to remember these Holy purposes, ● ● you shall need the same( if by God''s Blessing you shall recover from this Sickness? |
A47291 | Would you have any thing sent to them in your Name, to make them sensible thereof? |
A47291 | and if so, are you prepared, if that has not been done already, to make them all just and reasonable amends? |
A47291 | and where you have not done it before, will you endeavour to make them sensible thereof, and seek their Recovery the best you can? |
A47291 | and will he be favourable no more? |
A47291 | and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? |
A47291 | doth his promise fail for evermore? |
A47291 | has he in anger shut up his tender Mercies? |
A47291 | why hidest thou thy face from me? |
A47291 | ● ● to whom you would have i ● done? |
A23773 | ''T is certain, the Hour of Death will come, and then what will all thy Wealth avail thee? |
A23773 | 14. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? |
A23773 | 6. what can we expect our Unrighteousness should be? |
A23773 | AND now, who would not run with Alacrity, through Adversity, wild Woods, Desarts, and Wildernesses? |
A23773 | AND was that the Occasion of this Invitation we gave the Most Highest? |
A23773 | AND yet how hard a Task is it for us to endure even the pettiest Affliction, for Thy sake, O Lord? |
A23773 | AND yet, how foolish and vain are our Desires still after the World? |
A23773 | After this method Iob resolv''d, I have made a covenant with mine eyes, why then should I look upon a maid? |
A23773 | Alas, Is the Magnificence of Thy Kingdom not worth approaching to? |
A23773 | And do''st thou still swell with Ambition? |
A23773 | And how many Centuries of Ages must thou yet remain buried in Flames, and roaring among the Infernal Crew? |
A23773 | And how much more then will thy Account extend to obscene Speeches, and sordid Actions? |
A23773 | And is not this Person a fit Example for the whole World to imitate? |
A23773 | And shall Christians follow the Examples of Heathens? |
A23773 | And shall the Lusts of this vain World, O Lord, be greater in my Soul than the Love of Thee? |
A23773 | And what after Death, but Food for VVorms? |
A23773 | And what can all their Detraction prejudice thee, if she defend thee? |
A23773 | And who would not relinquish this momentary sensual Pleasure, to evade everlasting Burnings? |
A23773 | And why do''st thou so eagerly pursue after Pleasures? |
A23773 | And wilt thou be a Jesus of Mercy to the whole Universe, and become none to me? |
A23773 | Are all shrunk into a Tomb, and an unwelcom Period? |
A23773 | Are the Felicities of Eternal Bliss of so small a Value, that they are not worth approaching too? |
A23773 | Art thou addicted to Drinking? |
A23773 | But a wounded spirit who can bear? |
A23773 | But why do''st thou chase so much after Riches? |
A23773 | Can they, by their utmost Skill, neither bribe nor purchase thy Pardon? |
A23773 | Can those Pleasures which bereft thee of Heaven, recover it again before Death puts a period to thy Life? |
A23773 | Can thy Pomps and Vanities asswage or allay thy deep Sorrows? |
A23773 | Can we propose to ascend Thy Throne by a feeble and dronish Devotion? |
A23773 | Deeds of Darkness are the Seeds of Satan, but a lively Faith proceeds from Christ; and, What communion is there between Christ and Satan? |
A23773 | Did He which made the Heavens bow them, come down, and unthrone himself to convey us thither, and do we lie wallowing in our Sins for ever? |
A23773 | For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |
A23773 | For, how can that which is Temporal, satisfie the Soul which is Eternal? |
A23773 | For, who is he which is now Young and Vigorous, that is certain he shall live to be Old? |
A23773 | For, who is there, almost, in the World, that knows not but that he must die, but how few are they that consider it? |
A23773 | HOW contritely doth it expostulate with Heaven; My dearest Redeemer, is that amiable Attribute of thy Mercy lost? |
A23773 | He that despises not the VVorld, to follow Christ, how will he be qualify''d to lay down his Life for him? |
A23773 | He who took care of thee before thou wer''t born: Will his Providence neglect thee, now thou art fashioned after his own Image? |
A23773 | How actively do we run after the Vanities of the World, but in Thy Service pretend faintness? |
A23773 | How easie and alluringly, O Lord, are we led by the counterfeit and transitory Pleasures of this Life, from Thee? |
A23773 | How few is there, that have desired to learn it? |
A23773 | How many apt Scholars is there in the World, that hath perfectly learn''d this Lesson, and imprinted it in their Memory? |
A23773 | IF Honour be the Subject of our Ambition: What are Scepters and Crowns, but Illustrious Miseries? |
A23773 | IF Innocency be the Robe of Heaven, who then would not diligently strive to be adorn''d with Purity? |
A23773 | IF this happens to the Just, what shall become of wretched Sinners? |
A23773 | If this be the Recompence of true Sanctity, who would neglect Religious Duties? |
A23773 | Is the Fountain of it dried up from a poor and wretched Sinner? |
A23773 | Let us now be upon the Grand Inquest; Is not Sin a Leprosie? |
A23773 | Now some will object, If it be a Duty so Necessary, how comes it to pass, that it hath been so geeerally Neglected by most Christians? |
A23773 | Now the Query is, Whether his Boldness, or his Love to Christ, prompted him to this Heroick Action? |
A23773 | Oh, how infatuated are they then, which indulge themselves to that which is liable to Corruption? |
A23773 | Or shall we imagine every step too tiresom, that conveys us to Everlasting Glory? |
A23773 | Or will the silent Grave require no other Fee than so rich a Miser? |
A23773 | Or, what signifies a Bed of Gold, to one in a burning Fever, unless the State or Pomp could abate the Torment? |
A23773 | SET not thy Affections upon the World; for it shall pass away; and all the things that are therein, shall be consumed with fire? |
A23773 | Shall the temporary Allurements of Sin eclipse the Memory of thy Glory? |
A23773 | Shall they that are ignorant of Thee, be more passionately Just, than we that have traced out Heaven, and expect Eternity to succeed? |
A23773 | Shall they who can, by the Eye of Faith, take a prospect of Eternity, look down upon this Lower World with Affectation? |
A23773 | THE Majesty of Heaven is the Riches of his Servants; then why should''st thou not seek after that which will compleat thy Happiness? |
A23773 | Tell me, ye stupid Chasers of the World, what ye aim at in all your Pretences? |
A23773 | That Sovereignty for which thou enslavest thy self, and lost the perfect Freedom of thy Immortal Soul? |
A23773 | That with the Pharisee, embrace Formality for your Religion, and make an external Piety your Duty? |
A23773 | V. ALL the Applause and Breath of the VVorld is insignificant, if thy Bosom Friend, thy Conscience, accuse thee? |
A23773 | V. CAN those transitory Enjoyments that allured away thy Immortal Part, restore it in convenient time? |
A23773 | VVhat in thy Life, but a Lump of Flesh? |
A23773 | VVhat is mortal Man the better, for gaining a Reputation of a greater value than others, if he is disesteem''d in the sight of God? |
A23773 | VVhat wast thou in thy Conception, but sinful Corruption? |
A23773 | VVhy doth mundane, ambitious Honour delight thee? |
A23773 | WHO then would offer up that Part an Oblation to the World, which might be render''d the Instrument of so much Felicity? |
A23773 | WHY art thou perplexed, O my Soul? |
A23773 | Was ever Grief so great? |
A23773 | Was not the lofty Pharisee a greater Leper than the poor Publicane, though so ambitiously he display''d his proud Plumes? |
A23773 | Were there no Difficulties, no skilful Trials to be past through, who, of a Mortal, would not become a Saint? |
A23773 | What Happiness receive we from those fleeting Honours, and transitory Treasures we so highly valued? |
A23773 | What Miracles of Piety? |
A23773 | What availeth the Praises of Men, if the Voice within accuseth us? |
A23773 | What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? |
A23773 | What number of Years has thou reign''d in sulphurous Fire? |
A23773 | Where are all those fine Diversions that divested thee of thy Piety, and the Thoughts of thy Creator? |
A23773 | Whither then shall I fly? |
A23773 | Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burning? |
A23773 | Who can tell how oft he offendeth? |
A23773 | Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A23773 | Why then art thou proud, O Earth and Ashes? |
A23773 | Why then do we deferr our Repentance, and procrastinate it from day to day? |
A23773 | Ye that scoff at Heaven, and make Divinity a Garment for Unrighteousness? |
A23773 | and aim not at sublimer Things than what this sublunary World can afford? |
A23773 | and are so backward from Confessing their Crimes, that they are become obdurate in their Impenitence? |
A23773 | and suffer the Profuseness of his wanton Blood to revel there, where sublimer Passions and Flames should triumph? |
A23773 | and why art thou dubious of the Mercy of God? |
A23773 | but to undoe others, and lose your Souls? |
A23773 | nay, even wade thorough Seas of Blood, to arrive safe at the Port of the Heavenly Cannaan? |
A23773 | or any Sorrow like unto my Sorrow? |
A23773 | or the Memento of thy Sins, the Destruction of thy End? |
A23773 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? |
A23773 | those pleasing deluding Vanities that swept away all sense of Heaven, and fore- sight of thy Future State? |
A23773 | what Griefs, what Pains and Torments are these thou undergoest? |
A23773 | what will our loose Liberties, and those fond Delights we so eagerly chas''d after, now yield us? |
A45226 | A world of sinners Impotent, wretched creatures, that had dispighted thee, that had no motive for thy favour but deformity, misery, professed enmity? |
A45226 | And now after this heavenly repast, how do I feel my self? |
A45226 | Can I find my sins accessary to this thy death, and thy death meritoriously expiating all these my grievous sins, and not remember thee? |
A45226 | Can I hear thee freely offering thy selfe to me, and feele thee graciously conveighing thy self into my soul, and not remember thee? |
A45226 | Can I see thee thus crucified before my eyes, and for my sake thus crucified, and not remember thee? |
A45226 | Doe we not see some vaine churle, though cryed down by the multitude, herein secretly applauding himself that he hath bags at home? |
A45226 | Dost thou bid me, O Saviour, do this in remembrance of thee? |
A45226 | Doth God call for his ear? |
A45226 | How can I enough celebrate thee for this thy unspeakable mercy? |
A45226 | How can I without a Guide, said that Ethopian Eunuch: Wherefore serves the tongue of the Learned, but to direct the Ignorant? |
A45226 | How fair is thy love, my sister, my Spouse? |
A45226 | How is his passion lively acted before mine eyes? |
A45226 | How is my Saviour by all my senses here brought home to my soul? |
A45226 | How many worthy inhabitants make choice to fixe their abode within these walls, as not knowing where to bee happier? |
A45226 | How much more scope have we than they? |
A45226 | How shall they beleeve except they heare? |
A45226 | How soone would it clear up above head, if wee were but holily affected within? |
A45226 | How unworthy shall I be, if I doe not strive to answer this love of my God and Saviour, in all hearty affection, and in all holy obedience? |
A45226 | IS it solitude and Infrequence of visitation? |
A45226 | If thou wilt be extreme to mark what is done amisse, O Lord who may abide it? |
A45226 | If we be such auditors as the Jews were wo nt to call sieves, that retaine no moisture that is poured into them? |
A45226 | Is he invited to Gods feast? |
A45226 | Is it an allotment to the same roome without change, without remove? |
A45226 | Is it for fashion? |
A45226 | Is it for recreation? |
A45226 | Is it in a desire to approve my selfe to my God, in the conscience of my humble obedience to his command, and my holy attendance upon his Ordinance? |
A45226 | Is it not rather thy bloud of the New Testament, that is poured out for me? |
A45226 | Is it to please others eyes, or to avoid their censures? |
A45226 | Is it to satisfie my owne curiosity in hearing what the Preacher will say? |
A45226 | Is it to satisfie the law, that requires my presence? |
A45226 | Is it to see, or to be seen? |
A45226 | Is the heart heavy with the grievous pressures of affliction? |
A45226 | Is this the bloud of the grape? |
A45226 | Lord what a transcendent, what an infinite love is this? |
A45226 | Lord, what is man that thou art mindfull of him? |
A45226 | Lord, where are thy old loving mercies? |
A45226 | Oh, how can I forget thee? |
A45226 | Or is it with a sincere desire to do my soul good, in gaining more knowledge, in quickning my affections? |
A45226 | Perhaps therefore you are mistaken in my condition; for what is it I beseech you that makes a prisoner? |
A45226 | V. IS it the reproach and ignominy that commonly attends the very name of an imprisonment? |
A45226 | What a clear representation is here of the great work of our Redemption? |
A45226 | What are our bowels made of, if they yearne not at their unexpressible calamity? |
A45226 | What are the feet of the soul, but our affections? |
A45226 | What are we the better if we hear and remember not? |
A45226 | What blinde light looks in here at these scant loop- holes of my soul? |
A45226 | What but our prison wals can hinder us here, from a free prospect? |
A45226 | What but these wals of flesh can hinder me from a cleare vision of God? |
A45226 | What care I for chatting with friends, when I may talk familiarly with the God of heaven? |
A45226 | What care I for seeing of men, when I may see him that is invisible? |

A45226 | What is that still to a mind that is free? |
A45226 | What service can our eyes doe us in the wayes of God without our thoughts? |
A45226 | What shal I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me? |
A45226 | What the better if we remember, but think not seriously of what we hear; or if we practice not carefully what we think of? |
A45226 | Who is God but the Lord, and who hath any strength except our God? |
A45226 | Who is there that needs not vehement excitations, and helps to Devotion? |
A45226 | Why more than those Anachorites whom wee have seen willingly coopt up for merit? |
A45226 | Why more than those great persons which keep up for state; or dames for beauty? |
A45226 | Why should it? |
A45226 | Why should not I have so much power over my will as to make that voluntary in me, to undergoe, which another wills forceably to inflict? |
A45226 | Yea, what darknes of ignorance rather possesses me? |
A45226 | and for their happy and speedy deliverance out of their woefull captivity? |
A45226 | and what is the world, but my prison in the other kind? |
A45226 | and when more than now? |
A45226 | for what other termes do I find here? |
A45226 | how am I fed here with the bread of affliction? |
A45226 | how am I watched and beset with evill spirits? |
A45226 | how contumeliously traduced? |
A45226 | how disabled to all spiritual motions? |
A45226 | how disdainfully lookt upon? |
A45226 | how dragging the same chaine with the worst malefactors? |
A45226 | how many prisons doe we passe? |

A45226 | how restrained from that full liberty of enjoying my home, and my God in it, which I daily expect in my dissolution? |
A45226 | or when should we goe to seek the face of our God, rather, than in the needfull time of trouble? |
A45226 | or who would abide to have a Toad lie in his bosome? |
A45226 | what an object was this for thee to love? |
A45226 | what bolts and shackles of heavy crosses do I bear about me? |
A45226 | what little- ease of melancholicke lodgings? |
A45226 | what manacles and shackles of cramps? |
A45226 | what strength, what advantage hath my faith gotten? |
A45226 | why is not our compassion heightened, according to the depth of their perill, and misery? |
A45226 | yea what racks of torturing convulsions? |
A64109 | ( saith the Lord) Do not I fill heaven and earth? |
A64109 | * And why are we troubled that he had arts and sciences before he dyed? |
A64109 | And how if you were to die your self? |
A64109 | And see what he gets by it? |
A64109 | And what is sleeping and waking, but living and dying? |
A64109 | And why take ye thought for raiment? |
A64109 | And with how great uneasinesse and trouble does he make himself miserable? |
A64109 | Are not we his creatures? |
A64109 | Are we any thing but what we are from him? |
A64109 | Are we not as clay in the hand of the Potter? |
A64109 | Are ye not much better then they? |
A64109 | But however, if you will not otherwise be cured, time at last will do it alone; and then consider, do you mean to mourne alwayes, or but for a time? |
A64109 | But if it be enquired concerning the periods and distinct significations of this crime, and when a man is said to be drunk? |
A64109 | But some men are highly tempted, and are brought to a strait, that without a miracle they can not be relieved, what shall they do? |
A64109 | Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? |
A64109 | Did ever any man upon the rack, afflict himself because he had received a crosse answer from his Mistresse? |
A64109 | Do not the sparrows fly from their bush,& every morning finde meat where they laid it not? |
A64109 | Do not the young ravens call to God and he feeds them? |
A64109 | Do we not live upon his meat, and move by his strength and do our work by his light? |
A64109 | Does not God provide for all the birds and beasts and fishes? |
A64109 | Doest thou think thou shalt be saved or damned? |
A64109 | For if he be exalted above his Neighbours because hee hath more gold, how much inferiour is hee to a Gold Mine? |
A64109 | For what Helkanah said to the Mother of Samuel, Am not I better to thee then ten sons? |
A64109 | For what difference is it? |
A64109 | For, is not all the World Gods family? |
A64109 | For, what is it that you admire in the fortune of a great King? |
A64109 | God hath given us his Son, how should not he with him give us all things else? |
A64109 | How can Man be justified with God? |
A64109 | How innocent, how carelesse, how secure is Infancy? |
A64109 | How much is he to give place to a chain of Pearl, or a knot of Diamonds? |
A64109 | How much lesse Man that is a Worm, and the son of Man which is a Worm? |
A64109 | If ye being evil know to give good things to your children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give good things to them that ask him? |
A64109 | Is it that hee alwayes goes in a great company? |
A64109 | Is not the life more then meat, and the body then raiment? |
A64109 | It cost the heart blood of the Son of God to obtain Heaven for us upon that condition; and who shall dye again to get Heaven for us upon easier terms? |
A64109 | It is S. Pauls argument[ Know ye not that your body is the temple of the holy Ghost?] |
A64109 | Lord what am I, and Lord what art thou? |
A64109 | Lord what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the Son of man that thou thus visitest him? |
A64109 | Miserable man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of sin? |
A64109 | Miserable man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of sin? |
A64109 | My soul is athirst for God, yea even for the living God, when shall I come before the presence of God? |
A64109 | Remember that a wicked Eye is an evil thing: and what is created more wicked then an eye? |
A64109 | Remember what thou wert before thou wert begotten? |
A64109 | Remove all prejudice and love to every thing which may be contradicted by Faith: How can ye believe( said Christ) that receive praise one of another? |
A64109 | The bread which we break, is it not the communication of the body of Christ? |
A64109 | The old Stoicks when you told them of a sad story would still answer 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; What is that to me? |
A64109 | Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewithall shall we be clothed? |
A64109 | Were not Heaven a very great bargain even after all this? |
A64109 | What are those wounds in thy hands? |
A64109 | What during my childehood? |
A64109 | What in all thy excellencies? |
A64109 | What in all thy life? |
A64109 | What in my whole life? |
A64109 | What in my youth? |
A64109 | What is man that thou art mindeful of him, and the son of Man that thou so regardest him? |
A64109 | What is man that thou art mindful of him, and the Son of man that thou thus visit ● st him? |
A64109 | What was I before my birth? |
A64109 | What wert thou for many years after? |
A64109 | What wert thou in the first regions of thy dwelling, before thy birth? |
A64109 | Will you lay your life on it, your estate, your reputation, that the doctrine of JESUS CHRIST is true in every Article? |
A64109 | Would any man be Dives to have his wealth, or Iudas for his office, or Saul for his kingdom, or Absalom for his beauty, or Achitophel for his policy? |
A64109 | Wouldest thou not on that condition be as poor as I am? |
A64109 | [ Am I a God at hand( saith the Lord) and not a God afar off? |
A64109 | and that God in meer justice will take a death- bed sigh or groan, and a few unprofitable tears and promises in exchange for all our duty? |
A64109 | and the cup which we drink, is it not the communication of the blood of Christ? |
A64109 | or are we troubled that he does not live to make use of them? |
A64109 | or as the meanest of thy brethren? |
A64109 | or call for the particulars of a purchase upon the gallows? |
A64109 | or how can he be clean that is born of a Woman? |
A64109 | what is that? |
A64109 | what should a damned man do with money, which in so great a sadnes it is impossible for him to enjoy? |
A64109 | which of you by taking thought can adde one cubit to his stature? |
A23760 | ( for after all these things do the Gentiles seck) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things? |
A23760 | 2. suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? |
A23760 | 5. Who ask, When will the Sabbath be gone, that we may set forth wheat? |
A23760 | 7. what shall then become of those multitudes of men that lye on quite other ends? |
A23760 | A fourth end is said to be the putting away of cares; but I shall ask what those cares are? |
A23760 | And alas, how many are there that have thus made themselves the Devils martyrs? |
A23760 | And good reason, For he that makes no conscience thus to profane Gods name; Why shall any man beleeve, he makes any of lying? |
A23760 | And he that ladeth himself with thick clay: shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee? |
A23760 | And here think, how unworthy a wretch thou art to have done that, which occasioned such torments to him? |
A23760 | And if he the Lord of glory suffered thus meekly and unjustly from his own creatures, with what force can we ever complain of any injury done to us? |
A23760 | And if it shall now be asked, what are the particular acts of this kind which we are to perform? |
A23760 | And of this sort is the flesh, it is an enemy, at our doors, shall I say? |
A23760 | And what cause of that sparing, but his tender compassions towards thee, his unwillingness that thou should''st perish? |
A23760 | And what is now left, but that it utterly sink, and we all perish? |
A23760 | And wilt thou suffer thy Spouse, for whose sake all things were made ● hus bycontinual discords to perish, and go to wrack? |
A23760 | And with what face can you in your greatest nee ● beg for his mercy to your Souls, when you would not as ford them your own? |
A23760 | Are they restrained? |
A23760 | Are ye not, much better then they? |
A23760 | But I would ask such a one whether if that man were drinking rank poison, he would pledg him for company? |
A23760 | But again thirdly, if he do discern his danger, yet how is he sure he shall then be able to repent? |
A23760 | But it may perhaps here be asked, what a person that hath already brought himself into such a condition shall do? |
A23760 | Did ever any think to befriend a man by helping to destroy his estate, his credit, his life? |
A23760 | For first, I would ask any man, that means to repent at his death, how he knows he shall have an hours time for it? |
A23760 | For how can he either confess his sin, that knows not his guilt of it? |
A23760 | For how many times would it cut and burn, and mischief it self, if it might have every thing it desires? |
A23760 | For how shall he that swears hourly, look upon an oath with any reverence and he that doth not? |
A23760 | For who can stretch his hand against the Lords anointed, and be guilt less? |
A23760 | How amiable are thy dwellings, O Lord of Hosts? |
A23760 | How can ye believe, that receive honour one of another? |
A23760 | How fearful a guilt is it then to entertain any such thoughts, as are in themselves wicked? |
A23760 | How horrible an injustice is it then, purposely to bring that loss, and damage on him? |
A23760 | How many of these sacramental vowes have I violated? |
A23760 | How much does the whiteness of the Lilly, and the redness of the Rose exceed the white, and red of the fairest face? |
A23760 | How much worse then his very crucifiers? |
A23760 | How often have I turned my back in the day of battel? |
A23760 | How shall one so ungodly stand in thy Judgment, or such a sinner in the Congregation of the Righteous? |
A23760 | How vainly then do those pretend to this vertue, that are still grudging, and rep ● ning at every good hap of others? |
A23760 | I presume there is no man would willingly undergo this from another, and why then should thou offer it to him? |
A23760 | If I be a Master, saith God, where is my fear? |
A23760 | If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shal reap your carnal things? |
A23760 | Is it not a little one? |
A23760 | Is it not a most ravishing pleasure to him that hath any bowels to see the joy, that a seasonable alms brings to a poor wretch? |
A23760 | My Soul is a thirst for God, even for the living God, when shall I come to appear before the presence of God? |
A23760 | Nay, indeed how can it be said they do love at all, who can contentedly let each other run on in a course that will bring them to eternal misery? |
A23760 | Now examine thy self by this: hast thou this fruit of love to shew? |
A23760 | O God, wherefore art thou absent from us so long? |
A23760 | Shalt thou suffer ● e strong Captain of mischief, whom thou once overthrewest, again 〈 ◊ 〉 invade thy tents, and to spoil thy souldiers? |
A23760 | Shalt thou ● ot turn the wicked mens evils into thy Churches good? |
A23760 | Shalt thou ● ot with thy heavenly policy turn our folly into thy glory? |
A23760 | Shalt thou ● ● ffer the wicked spirits, which be authors and workers of discord, 〈 ◊ 〉 bear such a swing in thy Kingdome unchecked? |
A23760 | Suffered such torments in the pursuit of this sin, as would exceed the invention of the greatest tyrant? |
A23760 | Therefore in that respect also, the Soul is of the greatest worth; and then what strange madnesse is it for us to neglect them as we do? |
A23760 | WHat shall I render unto the Lord for all the benefits he hath done unto me? |
A23760 | What could ye not watch with me one hour? |
A23760 | What shall I render unto the Lord for all these benefits he hath done unto me? |
A23760 | Why art thou so heavy, O my Soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
A23760 | Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say? |
A23760 | Why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture? |
A23760 | Why shouldst thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that can not save? |
A23760 | Will a man rob God? |
A23760 | Woe to him that encreaseth that which is not his, how long? |
A23760 | Yet how many of us fail even in this, how frequent is it to see men, not only neglect to repay courtesies, but return injuries in stead of them? |
A23760 | [ Here recollect some of thy greatest sins] If thou Lord shouldst be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord who may abide it? |
A23760 | and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? |
A23760 | and who can tell that it shal not be his own case? |
A23760 | and why take ye thought for rayment? |
A23760 | be they such as should be put away? |
A23760 | do we not daily see men snatch''d away in a moment? |
A23760 | dost thou make it thy constant and greatest care to keep Gods Commandments? |
A23760 | earnestly labouring to please him to the utmost of thy power, even to the forsaking of what is dearest to thee in this world? |
A23760 | how few are there that can find gratitude, shall I say? |
A23760 | how it revives and puts new spirits in him, that was even sinking? |
A23760 | nay patience for such a courtesie? |
A23760 | or how can he resolve to forsake it, that discerns not himself to have formerly cleaved to it? |
A23760 | or how canst thou expect thy perswasions should work? |
A23760 | to obey him in all things? |
A23760 | what a multitude of creatures is there, that farr surpass man in strength and sweetness? |
A23760 | what hurt is it possible for thee to do to another, which can bear any comparison with that thou doest thy self, in loosing the pardon of thy sins? |
A23760 | which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature? |
A23760 | yet ye have robbed me; yet ye say, wherein have we robbed thee? |
A64745 | And I pray, are not light and life compatriots? |
A64745 | And here perhaps thou wilt aske me, how this may be done? |
A64745 | And how canst thou be thankful, if none of those sins for whose forgivenesse thou doest owe those thanks unto him, will be left in thy memory? |
A64745 | And now, O my God, after all this rebellion and uncleannesse, wilt thou come and lodge with me? |
A64745 | And one of the Elders answered saying unto me, Who are these which are arayed in white robes? |
A64745 | And shall not consequently out of that mutual and perfect knowledge arise a certaine inestimable and inviolable friendship? |
A64745 | And what comfort then, or what security can poor man promise to himself? |
A64745 | And who amongst these dispersed and ubiquitary paines thus inflicted will be so irrational as to think that he can have any ease or pleasure? |
A64745 | And why will they call him Master, Master, whose precepts they trample on, and whose members they crucifie? |
A64745 | Did not he a little before affirme himself found, and being now but moderately touched, doth he cry out of paine? |
A64745 | For what a day of terrors and indignation is the day of death to the unprepared? |
A64745 | For what manner of livers should such professors be, seeing they expect and beleeve the dissolution of all things? |
A64745 | Had he foreseen( and who knows but he did?) |
A64745 | Here have we a clear type of the resurrection, for what else is death but sleep, as the Apostle calls it? |
A64745 | Here some body perhaps may say, how is this? |
A64745 | How should they passe the time of their sojourning here in fear, and be diligent that they may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blamelesse? |
A64745 | How should we as strangers and pilgrims abstain from fl ● shly lusts, which warre against the soul? |
A64745 | How will they lie on their last beds, like wilde Buls in a net, full of the fury of the Lord? |
A64745 | If it be question''d whether they may injoy any peace or concord? |
A64745 | Is it thus that they are blotted out, forgotten, and never more discovered? |
A64745 | Is my confession of them come to this? |
A64745 | Is this man thinkst thou in health? |
A64745 | My soul, my pleasant soul and witty, The guest and consort of my body, Into what place now all alone Naked and sad wilt thou be gone? |
A64745 | Nam mihi quid prodest quod longo flumina cursu Semper inexhaustis prona feruntur aquis? |
A64745 | O Lord, where shall I prepare, and make ready for thee? |
A64745 | O( now, thinkest thou,) how full of love shall I be towards all men, if I were in that happy state? |
A64745 | Or what benefit can these* humane delights though blest with successe, and a large time of fruition, afford him at his death? |
A64745 | Seventy yeers almost hast thou serv''d Christ, and art thou now afraid of death? |
A64745 | Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evill? |
A64745 | What abominable desolations and emptinesse? |
A64745 | What an habitation of darknesse and death wilt thou finde within me? |
A64745 | What barrenesse and disorders wilt thou see there? |
A64745 | What beauty is there in a deaths- head crownd with roses? |
A64745 | What comforts and treasures should they lay up for that long voyage? |
A64745 | What communion can there be betwixt light and darknesse, purity and pollution, perfection and deformity? |
A64745 | What course then shall we take to render these eternal rewards more relishing and delightful to them? |
A64745 | What else is death but the recession and absence of life? |
A64745 | What infirmity then can lay hold upon those, whose health or salvation is from the Lord? |
A64745 | What is this? |
A64745 | What manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godlinesse? |
A64745 | What preparation should they make against the evill day? |
A64745 | What price wouldst thou give for so great a Blessing? |
A64745 | What reply now can the Angels( who because they are good of themselves, will be therefore the sooner won with reason) make unto this? |
A64745 | What shall I do unto thee? |
A64745 | What shall I do unto thee? |
A64745 | What shall I do, or whither shall I go? |
A64745 | What shall I render unto my Lord for all the mercies and loving kindnesses shewed unto thy servant this day, and all the dayes of my life hitherto? |
A64745 | What shall I say now of this man? |
A64745 | What then shall be able to hurt them whose covering and inclosure shall be the arme of God? |
A64745 | Where are their Cooks and Carvers, their* fowlers and fishers? |
A64745 | Where are their curious Vtensils, their Cups of Agate, Chrystal, and China- earth? |
A64745 | Where are their rich perfumes, costly Conserves, with their precious and various store of forreign and domestick wines? |
A64745 | Where are their sons and their daughters fair as the flowers, strait as the Palm- trees, and polish''d as the corners of the Temple? |
A64745 | Where are their sumptuous Chambers, where they inclosed themselvs in Cedar, Ivory, and Ebeny? |
A64745 | Where are their triumphs, fire- works, and feasts, with all the ridiculous, tumults of a popular, predigious pride? |
A64745 | Where is now their pompous& shining train? |
A64745 | Where is their Musick, their soft and delicate dressings, pleasing motions, and excellency of looks? |
A64745 | Where is their purple and fine linen, their chains of massie gold, and sparkling ornaments of pearls? |
A64745 | Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us for so long a time? |
A64745 | Whiles then thou art blessed with the possession of those high Benefits, which we have mentioned, wilt thou not think thy selfe sufficiently happy? |
A64745 | Will not thy condition be all Joy, which is the End and Effect of these Blessings? |
A64745 | Wilt thou give the bread of life unto dogs, and cast thy pearls before swine? |
A64745 | With what Christian thrift and diligence should we dispose of every minute of our time that we might make our calling and election sure? |
A64745 | With what constant holinesse, humility and devotion should they watch for it? |
A64745 | With what gloomy and despairing looks do they passe from hence, as if that eternal darknesse they are going into, were already in their faces? |
A64745 | Wouldst thou with Iacob passe over these Waters with thy staffe onely, and in thy return become two bands? |
A64745 | Yemen of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? |
A64745 | and whence came they? |
A64745 | but if thou couldst really injoy all those things as we have described them, but for one short day, wouldst thou not rejoyce? |
A64745 | egredere anima mea; Septuaginta propè annis Christo servisti,& mortem times? |
A64745 | for the fear of their heart wherwith they shal fear, and for the sight of their Eyes wherewith they shall see? |
A64745 | how do they labour under the load of their private guilt, and feele the flames of hell while they are yet alive? |
A64745 | how suddenly must the rich man leave his barnes, and the oppressour his ill- gotten power? |
A64745 | is he not miserably tormented? |
A64745 | is he the Lamb that was slain whose blood was poured out like water upon the earth to save his people from their sins? |
A64745 | or darknesse but the absence of light? |
A64745 | shall all men know the secret sins that I have committed? |
A64745 | who knowes the state of their souls? |
A64745 | with what language shall I attempt thy passion? |
A64745 | —* Egredere, quid times? |
A02864 | & if I cōfesse the one, wilt thou therefore denie the other? |
A02864 | & in what perplexities am I now plunged? |
A02864 | Ah these my sinnes, how do they distres? |
A02864 | Alas how am I deformed? |
A02864 | Alas how deepely hath corruption tainted my soule? |
A02864 | Alas how late doe I come? |
A02864 | Alas( miserable wretch) in what path haue I walked? |
A02864 | Alas, how shall I present my selfe before the maiestie of the most righteous and vpright iudge? |
A02864 | Alas, howe is my soule abandoned? |
A02864 | Alasse wretch, what shall I doe? |
A02864 | Alasse, how late haue I loued thee, O beautie most exceedinglye both auncient and fresh, and yet, alasse, how little do I loue thee? |
A02864 | Although it bee late, it is not yet too late to call for his mercie:& wherefore shouldest thou be consumed in saying nothing? |
A02864 | And now, O Lord, where is this loue? |
A02864 | At this houre of death, when the sinnfull soule beginneth to bee loosed from the fetters of flesh, O good God, howe is it troubled? |
A02864 | But that which my hearte doth beelieue with loue, shall not my mouth confesse with praise? |
A02864 | But what shall I say? |
A02864 | But what? |
A02864 | But where am I, and whether am I carried? |
A02864 | But wherefore do I expostulate with a dead carcase? |
A02864 | But who except thou( O Lorde) can make mee cleane, and what is pure which thou hast not purged? |
A02864 | But why doe I confine thy benefites within the compasse of the whole worlde? |
A02864 | For wherfore hast thou created mee? |
A02864 | Gracious Lorde, what thankes, what praise shall I tender to thee for this adoption? |
A02864 | How exceedest thou the compasse of my conceite? |
A02864 | How, O God, hath corruption depraued mee? |
A02864 | I am deuided in my selfe, how can I stand? |
A02864 | I am ouerthrowne in my selfe, how shall I rise? |
A02864 | If I be full of impietie, art thou therfore not full of pittie? |
A02864 | If my sins haue made mee that I am thy offender, haue they also made me that I am not thy creature? |
A02864 | If the Diuell hath bereaued mee of my puritie, hath hee also beereaued thee of thy pittie? |
A02864 | If then I be ashamed to be seene, how shall I be assured to be receiued? |
A02864 | If thou desirest that a sinner should be conuerted and liue, what difficultie is there that I should not be saued? |
A02864 | If thy iustice may rightly damne me, can not thy mercies possiblye saue mee? |
A02864 | Is not man rottennesse? |
A02864 | Lorde, thou diddest loue vs when wee were thine enemies, and wilt thou denie vs now to loue thee againe? |
A02864 | My affections laboure to attaine vnto thee, but whether, I pray thee, doest thou flie the pursuite of my vnderstanding? |
A02864 | My sinnes greater then can bee forgiuen? |
A02864 | O Christ heare mee, O Christ helpe mee, or else tell mee thy vnwoorthy seruaunt, O mercifull God, tel thy seruant, to whome shall I cry? |
A02864 | O Christ, how can I forget thy goodnes, and yet how dare I remember thy greatnesse? |
A02864 | O Sauiour whome then wilte thou saue? |
A02864 | O deare God, hell is alreadie full, and what profite is there in my distructiō? |
A02864 | O foolish reason, how sharpe art thou to see thy mischiefe, and yet how dimme, how blinde art thou to foresee it? |
A02864 | O good Iesu, thou diddest redeeme vs when wee were thine enemies, and shall wee bee destroied now wee are thy suppliantes? |
A02864 | O heauenlye lighte, how sweetlye doest thou shine? |
A02864 | O holy, O happie, O high Iesu, how is my dull sight dazelled with thy exceeding brightnesse? |
A02864 | O intollerable punishment, which no meanes can moderate, no patience can endure, no time shal end: Is this( O Lord) the wages of sinne? |
A02864 | O my God, if thou bee absent from mee, where shall I seeeke thee? |
A02864 | O my God, what answere shal I make? |
A02864 | O reconciler, whome wilt thou reconcile to thy Father, if thou reiectest a poore sinner, who condemneth himselfe,& calleth vppon thee? |
A02864 | O redeemer whome hast thou then redeemed? |
A02864 | O sacred fire, how comfortablye doest thou burne? |
A02864 | O sinne, the defiler, the deformer, the destroier of soules, from how high a pitch of happinesse hast thou deiected me? |
A02864 | O sonne of God, how hast thou abased thy selfe? |
A02864 | O wretch that I am, how coldly doe I crie? |
A02864 | O, if it had but a smal time more of amendment, how seriously would it conuerte? |
A02864 | Out vppon mee wretch, alas what shall become of mee? |
A02864 | Shall I speake with ioie, or with modestie houlde my peace? |
A02864 | Then since I haue committed theire crueltie, what hope may I haue to auoide their curse; that thy bloud be not vpon me, and my posteritie? |
A02864 | Thou camest to call sinners to repētance,& wilt thou not heare them when they doe repent? |
A02864 | Thou camest to saue that which was lost, and wilt thou see me perish, in the view of thy pittifull eies, in the presence of thy bowels of mercy? |
A02864 | Thou diddest not stop thine eares whē thou wert blasphemed; and wilt thou stop them now thou art intreated? |
A02864 | What hast thou done, O madd man, O mischieuous, O monstrous man, what hast thou done? |
A02864 | What shall I say, or what shall I doe, wretche that I am, whether did I bende my selfe, and to what pas am I now come? |
A02864 | What was hee made? |
A02864 | What way shall I thē take in these desperate extremities? |
A02864 | What( O Lord) is the sence of thys saying? |
A02864 | Who but must bee amased at such bowelles of mercie? |
A02864 | Who, where, what thinge shall then bee my comfort? |
A02864 | With what assurance then may wee hope? |
A02864 | With what securitie may wee flie vnto him? |
A02864 | Woe is mee, how longe haue I staied? |
A02864 | against a blast? |
A02864 | against a leafe? |
A02864 | and if I haue deserued the one, haue I thereby also disclaymed the other? |
A02864 | and is it meruaile then if my cōscience quake? |
A02864 | and what hath hee made vs? |
A02864 | and where( in Gods name) are thy demerites? |
A02864 | and whome wilte thou f ● ● de righteous, if 〈 ◊ 〉 iudgest without mercie? |
A02864 | and will thine anger neuer againe be appeased? |
A02864 | are not his desires vanitie? |
A02864 | beecause thou wouldest damne mee? |
A02864 | can the number, can the enormitie of my offences, either constraine that which thou wouldest not, or hinder that which thou desirest? |
A02864 | can the power and malice of the Deuill? |
A02864 | how O God shall satisfaction restore me? |
A02864 | how am I defiled? |
A02864 | how are all the powers thereof layd wast? |
A02864 | how are they delighted whome thou doest enlightten? |
A02864 | how desirous are they more and more to burne whom thou dost enflame? |
A02864 | how do they distract me? |
A02864 | how large were the limits of thy mercie? |
A02864 | how sencelesse is my vncleane soule, that my flesh tremble not, that my iointes doe not shake vntill my knees knocke together? |
A02864 | how shall I eyther excuse, or extenuate this my relapse? |
A02864 | how shall my fearfull face behold him? |
A02864 | how slowlye doe I hasten? |
A02864 | how terriblie will he cast his countenance vpon mee? |
A02864 | how weakly doe I craue? |
A02864 | how were thy affections inflamed? |
A02864 | howe doeth my resolution stick betweene loathnesse and necessitie? |
A02864 | howe greate are thy sinnes? |
A02864 | if death shall deuour him who dispaireth in himselfe, and trusteth in thee? |
A02864 | if in all places thou art present, wherefore doe I not see thee? |
A02864 | if my sins are greater thē it is meet, ar thi mercies lesser then they were wo nt? |
A02864 | if my soule cleaue with sighes? |
A02864 | if that soule shall bee drowned in hell, which acknowledgeth his owne wickednesse with feare, and thy goodnesse with loue? |
A02864 | if thy glorious greatnesse did make me draw backe, wilt thou therefore draw backe thy gracious goodnesse? |
A02864 | in what pollutions haue I wallowed? |
A02864 | into how deepe a gulfe of miseries hast thou depressed mee? |
A02864 | is not his life miserie, and a verye shadowe of death? |
A02864 | is this I desire that hee be conuerted and liue? |
A02864 | is this the punishment of wicked doers, of whome I am one, in so deepe a degree? |
A02864 | is thy goodnesse come to an end? |
A02864 | or wherefore doe I not see thee? |
A02864 | seeing our saluation dependeth vpon the will of our most louing brother? |
A02864 | shall I pretend the slie subtelties of the deuell; the fair- faced shewes of the worlde? |
A02864 | the pleasant perswasions of the flesh? |
A02864 | the woman gaue it me, the serpente deceined mee? |
A02864 | thou diddest call vs to mercie when wee craued none, and wilt thou denye vs now we are suiters for it? |
A02864 | thou didst not turne away thy face from those that spat vpon thee and buffeted thee,& wilt thou now turne it away from those that pray vnto thee? |
A02864 | through thy death wee were brought vnto life, and shall we dy now thou doest l ● ue? |
A02864 | to whom may I flie more safely? |
A02864 | to whome more readily? |
A02864 | to whome shall I complaine? |
A02864 | what a lamentable losse hast thou incurred? |
A02864 | what a sharpe and seuere course would it set into? |
A02864 | what a wofull exchange hast thou made? |
A02864 | what arte hath he vsed to keepe the line from breaking wherat the fish was caught? |
A02864 | what feare shall inforce vs either to dispaire or to doubt? |
A02864 | what folly hath not had his feate in my mind, and left his footsteps in my actions? |
A02864 | what shift, what friendes shall I be able to make? |
A02864 | what terrours are presented vnto it? |
A02864 | where are these mercies? |
A02864 | where may I bee more bolde? |
A02864 | where more secure? |
A02864 | where shall I finde full praises to extoll thee? |
A02864 | where shall I get good wordes to set forth this thy good will? |
A02864 | where shall I seeke thee? |
A02864 | whether do you driue me, O my sinnes? |
A02864 | whether shall I goe? |
A02864 | whether shall I turne my selfe? |
A02864 | whether, O God, doest thou deliuer mee? |
A02864 | who but will reioice at such aboundance of loue? |
A02864 | who is more able to helpe? |
A02864 | who is more mighty? |
A02864 | who more easy to be intreated? |
A02864 | who more mercifull? |
A02864 | why should I bee faint when thou doest not onely incourage, but alsoe enable mee, or at the least accept my weake endeuour? |
A02864 | wilt thou shewe thy strength against a worme? |
A02864 | with what a world of woes hast thou enclosed mee? |
A02864 | with what bouldnesse may wee embrace him? |
A02864 | with what confidence may wee intreate him? |
A02864 | woe is me wretch, how cunningly doth the deuell seeke to delay mee? |
A02864 | woe is me wretch, how is my harte hardened, that mine eies doe not poure forth plentie of teares? |
A25385 | 4 What is man, for whose use and service thou hast made them, and all things in this world, and him to serve thee? |
A25385 | 9 What profit, O Lord, is there, can there be, in my blood, or death, when I go down into the pit, or if I dye in my sins? |
A25385 | A Father, but what Father? |
A25385 | And he concludeth peremptorily with this Question, Quis ergo nisi infidelis negaverit fuisse apud inferos Christum? |
A25385 | And how shall I express my love better, than in forbearing those things which thou dost abhorr, and following those things which thou dost command? |
A25385 | And if we ask what it is to be the servants of God? |
A25385 | And in the next place, what is more proper to Children, than to ask Bread of their Father? |
A25385 | And lastly( which is not the least of thy mercies) with what patience hast thou waited for my serious Repentance? |
A25385 | And now Lord, what is my hope? |
A25385 | And tell me, if these be not sufficient motives to perswade us to his service, if our hearts be not hardned? |
A25385 | And therefore say not, I have sinned, what harm hath happened to me? |
A25385 | And they shall be able to say with Iob, Shall we receive good at the hands of God, and not receive evil? |
A25385 | And this King David well understood, when he said, What shall I render to the Lord for all the benefits he hath done unto me? |
A25385 | And what kind of penitence can be expected from man in this estate? |
A25385 | And what shall I further say? |
A25385 | And what shall I now say, or wherein shall I open my mouth? |
A25385 | And what should a Son desire more than the honour of his Father? |
A25385 | And what would become of miserable Man, if this help were wanting, but being carnal, be wholly transformed into flesh? |
A25385 | And why art thou then secure? |
A25385 | And why dost thou not pardon my transgressions, and take away mine iniquity? |
A25385 | And why? |
A25385 | And wilt thou, O Lord, break a leaf driven with the wind too and fro? |
A25385 | And, O Lord, carest thou not that I perish? |
A25385 | Answer me, O Lord, How many are mine iniquities and sins? |
A25385 | Are not my dayes few? |
A25385 | Art not thou a Father of mercies, which have neither number, end, nor measure? |
A25385 | Art thou born? |
A25385 | Behold, the Heaven of Heavens can not contain thee, how much loss this House that I have builded? |
A25385 | But how can that mans Faith save him, which professeth that he hath Faith, and yet hath no Works? |
A25385 | Can the infinite Majesty of God offended, be satisfied with a little, a small repentance? |
A25385 | Did not the Egyptians miserably perish in the Red Sea? |
A25385 | Do not I fill Heaven and Earth, saith the Lord? |
A25385 | Dost thou desire then never to be sad? |
A25385 | Fear ye not me, will ye not tremble at my presence? |
A25385 | For although thine anger against sinners is unsufferable, and who may abide it? |
A25385 | For being uncertain of our dayes, why should we beg bread for uncertain times? |
A25385 | For in death is no remembrance of thee, and in the grave who shall give thee thanks? |
A25385 | For what benefit shall we reap by forgiving our old sins, if we contract new? |
A25385 | For what fruit have I in those things whereof I am ashamed? |
A25385 | For what profit is there in my blood, if I go down into the pit? |
A25385 | For who hath promised thee time to repent How many have been deceived with this vain hope? |
A25385 | For, if thou, so mighty a Lord, hast vouchsafed to love me, poor wretched creature, how should it be, but that I should return love again to thee? |
A25385 | From whence are warrs and contentions amongst you? |
A25385 | Have I returned due praise unto thy Majesty for them, or carried my self, and ordered my life, like to one that might any way deserve them? |
A25385 | How canst thou abide or dwell in so loathsome a Dungeon, wherein, there is no part, room, or corner clean? |
A25385 | How did he destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? |
A25385 | How great, what manner of Lord hast thou bestowed upon us, that we should be called the Sons of God? |
A25385 | How many souls burn in Hell fire, which have sinned far less than I, and yet I remain alive? |
A25385 | How often hast thou called me with the voice of Love? |
A25385 | How often hast thou terrified me with threats and fears, laying before me the peril of death, and the rigour of thy divine Iustice? |
A25385 | How often have I returned as a dog to the vomit, and as a sow washed, to the myre? |
A25385 | How often( and that justly) mightest thou have withheld thy hand of preservation from me? |
A25385 | How often, O Lord, hast thou turned thine eyes from my sins, and made as though thou didst not see them? |
A25385 | How shall I answer? |
A25385 | How shall I smile thee, O Ephraim? |
A25385 | How strict had my Iudgement been, if thy Iustice had laid hold on me, laden with so many sins? |
A25385 | How then dare I, that am so base and unclean a creature, approach to the Feast of so great a God, and a Lord of so great a Majesty? |
A25385 | How then shall I dare to receive thee, in so desperate and wicked estate? |
A25385 | How then? |
A25385 | I have sinned, what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? |
A25385 | I have sinned, what shall I doe? |
A25385 | I. have received life, and all the blessings of this life from thee; What shall I render back to thee for them? |
A25385 | If I be a Father, where is my honour? |
A25385 | If he whet his glittering sword, and his hand take hold on judgement, Who is able to abide it? |
A25385 | If the Devil be Prince of the world, what goodness can be expected in his Dominions? |
A25385 | If thou Lord shouldest be extream to mark what is done amiss, O Lord, who may abide it? |
A25385 | If thou be our Father, and we the Sons of God, how great is the honour, that we are as it were Gods? |
A25385 | If thou be our Father, how great is our Hope? |
A25385 | If thou forsake me, to whom shall I flee? |
A25385 | Look at the Generations of old, and see, did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? |
A25385 | May not I much more marvel, that God will not disdain to come and abide in this my poor and wretched Soul? |
A25385 | Miserable man that I am, who shall deliver me out of this body of death? |
A25385 | My soul is very much disquieted within me: How long, Lord, will it be, ere thou look upon me, and deliver it? |
A25385 | Nay, what couldest thou have done more for me, than thou hast done? |
A25385 | Now, having received all these mercies and favours from thee, how have I on my part behaved my self in thankfulness to thee for them? |
A25385 | O Death, where is thy sting? |
A25385 | O Lord, in that day where shall I hide my self from the face of thine anger? |
A25385 | Or shall the dead arise and praise thee? |
A25385 | Or thy faithfulness in destruction? |
A25385 | Or what couldest thou have given me more, than thou hast bestowed upon me, either of blessings of this world, or of the world to come? |
A25385 | Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and wilt thou bring me into the dust again? |
A25385 | Saint Bernard saith, If I owe to God all that I am for my Creation, what shall I give further for my Redemption? |
A25385 | Saint Peter cryed out to thee, to depart from him a sinfull man, How then, can I, the chief of all sinners, but tremble at thy presence? |
A25385 | Shall the dust, or they which are dissolved thereinto, before repentance, praise thee? |
A25385 | Shall thy loving kindness be declared in the grave? |
A25385 | Si fidem quis dicat se habere, opera tamen non habeat, numquid poterit fides salvare eum? |
A25385 | So to be affected in our life, that we may often say, and pray, When shall I appear before the Lord? |

A39680 | And what a surprize was that to the Church? |
A39680 | And what footing could thy Faith find for Pardon and Salvation any where else? |
A39680 | And what is Christ to him that can not believe? |
A39680 | And what pleasure is there in the world comparable to this pleasure? |
A39680 | Are not all holy duties expressed in Scripture by the Saints walking with God, Gen. 17 1. and is not this an Angelical life? |
A39680 | Are not all the promises of God in Christ, Yea, and Amen to all that are in him? |
A39680 | Are there not many faintings, tremblings, despondencies of mind under the thoughts of death? |
A39680 | Are your affections cold, flat, and dead in duty? |
A39680 | As thus, Did Christ die for me when I was an Enemy? |
A39680 | Behold how he loved thee? |
A39680 | Beside: How many and mighty Enemies did oppose the work of Faith in thy soul? |
A39680 | But what was Abner, and what were the Princes of Israel to the Son of God? |
A39680 | But who can open the unsearchable riches, or recount the ravishing excellencies found in Christ? |
A39680 | Can such a thing as this be in Nature? |
A39680 | Could I but enjoy my freedom from it in the seasons of duty and times of communion with God, what a comfort would that be? |
A39680 | Did Christ suffer such grievous things for you, and can not you suffer small matters for him? |
A39680 | Did he come from the Bosom of the Father to be our Ransomer, and that at the price of his own life? |
A39680 | Did he come into the world as a Lamb, bound with the bands of an irreversible decree to die for sin? |
A39680 | Did he come so chearfully to Die for me, and do I go so dead heartedly to Prayers and Sacraments to enjoy fellowship with him? |
A39680 | Did he not sense and mind the work he was going about? |
A39680 | Did he suffer so much for you, and can you suffer nothing for him? |
A39680 | Did not God spare his own Son, but give him up to death for us all? |

A39680 | Do not the Angels and Saints in Heaven feast upon him? |
A39680 | Do you stir up your selves to take hold of God? |
A39680 | Doth such a temper of spirit suit thine awful presence? |
A39680 | Doth thy heart need so many arguments to perswade it even to the sweetest, easiest, and most pleasant duties in Religion? |

A39680 | Father, have these poor souls wounded thy Name, thine Honour, thy Law? |
A39680 | First, you draw nigh to God; but is it in truth, or in meer formality? |
A39680 | First: What is the Spirtts Sealing wor ● … and how is it performed? |
A39680 | For if these things were done in the green Tree, what shall be done in the dry Tree? |
A39680 | For loe, what a Seal and Witness hath Religion in the breast of every sincere Professor of it? |
A39680 | Fourthly: How excellent are Gospel- Ordinances? |
A39680 | Fourthly: What doth the slavish fear of death speak, but remains of unbelief still in our hearts? |
A39680 | Have you not a languishing love, a staggering faith, dull and sluggish desires? |
A39680 | He that delivered his Son for us, what can he deny us after such a gift? |
A39680 | He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? |
A39680 | His soul was full of sorrow, and is thine full of stup ● … y? |
A39680 | How are we all obliged to bless God for Jesus the Mediator, to make us and our sinful duties acceptable to God? |
A39680 | How can you hear others speak of their satisfaction, peace, and assurance, and be quiet until you also have attained it? |
A39680 | How can you look upon such precious promises, and not dare to tast them? |
A39680 | How greatly was the Spouse amaz''d at the unexpected condescension and grace of Christ in this matter? |
A39680 | How is it imaginable that God should with- hold after this, spirituals or temporals from his people? |
A39680 | How long it may be ere you sit again at the Lords Table? |
A39680 | How many dangers it prevents, or how many wants it supplies? |

A39680 | How shall I raise my dead heart in duty? |
A39680 | How shall he not call them effectually, justifie them freely, sanctifie them throughly, and glorifie them eternally? |
A39680 | How shall he not cloath them, feed them, protect and deliver them? |
A39680 | How( thinks he) can this consist with a renewed state and temper? |
A39680 | However, the duty is thine, though the power be Gods; why else are his people blamed, because they stirred not up themselves to take hold of him? |
A39680 | If God be so near to the heart and reins of his People in their duties, O, how assiduous should they be in their duties? |
A39680 | If God have so delivered him, how shall he not with him freely give us all things? |
A39680 | If Vengeance be taken sevenfold on him that Slew Cain, what Vengeance shall be taken on him that Crucifies afresh the Lord of glory? |
A39680 | Is God so near to his People above all others in the world? |
A39680 | Is any thing in Heaven or Earth so sweet as Christ Sacrificed is? |
A39680 | Is it rather the awe of Conscience than the pleasure of Communion that brings thee to this duty? |
A39680 | Is it want of a through search and examination of your estate? |
A39680 | Is it your neglect of duty? |
A39680 | Is the love of Christ past knowledge? |
A39680 | Is this thy zeal and thy delight in the duties of obedience? |
A39680 | Is''t the representation of Christs death? |
A39680 | Lord( said the Disciples) how is it that thou wilt manifest thy self unto us, and not unto the world? |
A39680 | Lord, how is it I had not then been sealed to Damnation? |
A39680 | Must he be forsaken for every trifle that comes in the way of its phansie? |
A39680 | Must the great and blessed God wait upon a poor Worm till it be at leisure to attend him? |
A39680 | Now which of these is to be attended with a dead, careless, and slight spirit? |
A39680 | O Reader, how much better were it to hear such questions as these from thee; how shall I get an heart suitable to the mercies I do enjoy? |
A39680 | O how good is it for men to be brought into the straights of affliction sometimes? |
A39680 | O my God, what a heart have I? |
A39680 | O, how unutterable then must that be which is seen and felt above, where God comes as near to men as can be? |
A39680 | O, let not thine eyes find rest, till that be fully done: Is it some special guilt upon thy soul that grieves the Spirit of God? |
A39680 | O, what is this? |
A39680 | O, what manner of love is this? |
A39680 | O, when a man considers that the whole weight of his eternal happiness or misery depends upon the resolution of these Questions: Am I in Christ? |
A39680 | O, who ever loved thee at that rate Christ hath done? |
A39680 | Oh Lord, what an heart have I? |
A39680 | Or is not the giving of Christ to die for us, the accomplishment of the greatest promise that ever God made to us? |
A39680 | Or is there any thing put into any promise of greater value than the Blood of the Lamb that was shed to purchase it? |
A39680 | Quantum mutatus ab illo? |
A39680 | Reader, was it ever thy sad lot to look upon such an heart- rending object? |
A39680 | Secondly: Do n''t your graces need it? |
A39680 | Secondly: If your hearts be sincere, yet are they not sluggish? |
A39680 | Secondly: The activity of Faith is clogg''d by natural unbelief: O, what difficulties is every work of Faith carried through? |
A39680 | See you that Bread broken, and that Wine poured out? |
A39680 | Should the represented Agonies and sufferings of Christ for me, be beheld with a spirit no more concerned, pierced and wounded for sin? |
A39680 | Sixthly: Is there any among you that stagger at the promises through unbelief? |
A39680 | Suppose thou sawest him appear at this Table, as he now doth appear in Heaven, as a Lamb that had been slain? |
A39680 | Take away Christ, and where is the hope of our souls? |
A39680 | Take away the heart from duty, and what remains but a dead carcass, without life or beauty? |
A39680 | That can not by faith eat his Flesh and drink his Blood? |
A39680 | The bounty and liberality of the love of Christ to his People, passeth knowledge ▪ Who can number or value the fruits of his love? |
A39680 | The least and lowest act of saving faith is precious,& above all value; what then must the highest and most excellent acts of faith be? |
A39680 | The next enquiry is, whether all Believers are Sealed by the Spirit? |
A39680 | Thirdly: Do you know how many daies you are to go in the strength of this meal? |
A39680 | Thirdly: Have you not grieved the Spirit of God, and caused him to withdraw from you? |
A39680 | Thirdly: Is there any among you that droop, and are discouraged in their spirits, because of their manifold aggravated Iniquities? |
A39680 | Thirdly: The least degree of saving faith infers thy Election of God; and if that be not matter of melting and transporting consideration, nothing is? |
A39680 | This would better become thee, than to afflict thy self with what shall I eat, what shall I drink, or wherewithal shall I be cloathed? |
A39680 | Was Christ a Lamb for meekness, and art thou a Lyon for fierceness? |
A39680 | Was he silent, not once opening his mouth when he suffered most vile things from the hands of Sinners, and can you bear nothing? |
A39680 | Was his heart like thine, stupid and unaffected with these things? |
A39680 | Was it a pleasure to him to shed his Blood, and is it none to me to apply it, and reap the benefits of it? |
A39680 | What a pleasure then must it be to him, to save so many souls from the everlasting wrath of the great and terrible God? |
A39680 | What are our sufferings compar''d in kind or degree, to the sufferings of Christ? |
A39680 | What are our sufferings to Christs? |
A39680 | What are the effects of the Spirits Sealing? |
A39680 | What have we to leave, or lose, in comparison with him? |
A39680 | What is Wine in bowls, and the chief Oyntment to the Blood of Christ, and the anoyntings of his Spirit? |
A39680 | What is a Feast to him that can not tast it? |
A39680 | What is it that hinders this mercy that it can not come home to your souls? |
A39680 | What is life without pleasure? |
A39680 | What is our Blood compar''d in dignity to the Blood of Christ? |
A39680 | What is the Spirits Sealing, and how performed? |
A39680 | What is the priviledge of being Sealed by the Spirit? |
A39680 | What is the priviledge of being Sealed? |
A39680 | What is this? |
A39680 | What is this? |
A39680 | What shall I render to the Lord for all his goodness? |
A39680 | What sin can be more provoking to God, than the slight and contempt of those most awful mysteries? |
A39680 | What steddy Christians should all real Christians be? |
A39680 | What sweetness is there to be found in them by true Believers? |
A39680 | What then shall do it? |
A39680 | When you see the Blood of Christ flowing forth, how can Faith be silent in thy soul? |
A39680 | Wherefoream I come from Geshur( saith Absalom) if I may not see the Kings face? |
A39680 | Wherein lies the resemblance and agreement betwixt the Flesh and Blood of Christ, and material Meat and Drink? |
A39680 | Whether all Believers are Sealed? |
A39680 | Whilst others do but feed upon Ashes and Husks, what is the flesh of Lambs and Calves out of the Stall, to the Flesh of Christ? |
A39680 | Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? |
A39680 | Who can tell how many sins it pardons? |
A39680 | Who in the Heaven can be compared to the Lord? |
A39680 | Who would endure that misery that Christ did endure for thy sake? |
A39680 | Why are none Sealed till after Believing? |
A39680 | Why must Justice be executed on him in such rigor and severity? |
A39680 | Why none are Sealed till they Believe? |
A39680 | an unsearchable love? |
A39680 | and what punishment can be more terrible, than for such a wretched soul to eat and drink Damnation to it self? |
A39680 | and what ● … hat, state of glory reserved for the Saints: Doth a glimps of Gods presence in a duty, go down to the heart and reins? |
A39680 | and yet canst thou look upon sin as a light matter? |
A39680 | bethink your selves where you are, and what you are doing: Know you not that the King comes in to see the Guests? |
A39680 | could thy heart be unaffected and stupid at such a sight? |
A39680 | if the records of the mercies of our lives were or could be gather''d and kept, what vast volumns would they swell to? |
A39680 | or am I not? |
A39680 | q. d. Dost thou doubt of my ability to heal thy Child? |
A39680 | with how many notwithstandings is his love continued to thy soul? |
A61251 | ( that is, none can so search him) conclude that he can not so search himself? |
A61251 | A turning to God; Turn ye, turn ye, for why will you die O House of Israel? |
A61251 | After all this, shall we imagine that God hath changed this Precept, which was not Ceremonial, but opposite to Ceremonies? |
A61251 | Against which Conclusion he brings a new Objection thus, Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? |
A61251 | Against which he brings this Objection, Is there Vnrighteousness with God? |
A61251 | Albeit Contracts be by mutual Consent, and that Consent signifies to have the same Thought, yet? |
A61251 | And Jeremiah saith, Who would not fear thee, O King of Nations? |
A61251 | And by what Warrant do they assign them their Tasks, if it were their Duty to worship all, as they do some? |
A61251 | And is there Knowledg in the most High? |
A61251 | And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my Commandments, and my Laws? |
A61251 | And when I further pose my self, whether such a Being will only perform his Promises, reward and punish according to Merit? |
A61251 | Are not the Principles of reasoning inbred in Nature, and freely given of God? |
A61251 | Are you now content to enter into this Covenant for your selves and your Posterity, wherein if you fail on your Part, you lose all the Benefit of it? |
A61251 | By himself he called Adam and Eve, and asked first Adam, Hast thou eaten of the Tree whereof I commanded thee thou shouldst not eat? |
A61251 | By the Reasonings in Scripture from what is becoming, God doth assure his unchangeable Justice, Shall the Judg of all the Earth do unjustly? |
A61251 | Can any Creature do more than this Command doth require? |
A61251 | Can any Man pretend that the particular Favours that the Saints have always prayed for from God, were all promised by God? |
A61251 | Can any of these pretend that they have not Power to repent, or believe, seeing the All- sufficient Power of God is offered, if it be not rejected? |
A61251 | Commutative Justice is not competent to God; For who hath given to him that he should repay? |
A61251 | Could he excuse himself from being the Author of his own Death? |
A61251 | Did not God give the knowledg of Words to Adam and Eve whereby he spoke to them, and they to one another? |
A61251 | For instance, How great Profit and Pleasure hath arisen to Mankind by the Invention of Writing? |
A61251 | For who hath resisted his Will? |
A61251 | For who hath resisted his Will? |
A61251 | God had Mercy on wicked Ahab, and said to the Prophet, Dost thou not see how Ahab humbleth himself? |
A61251 | Hath not the Potter Power over the Clay, of the same Lump, to make one Vessel unto Honour, and another unto Dishonour? |
A61251 | Hence the Folly of Man might be cured, when he thinks, Why did God suffer Sin to come into the World? |
A61251 | How great Addition to Writing hath been by the recent Invention of Printing? |
A61251 | How have some noble Greeks and Romans gloried to become a Sacrifice for the Safety of their Country? |
A61251 | How impudently insolent is it then for any sinful Mortal to claim Celestial Glory, and to be out of hazard of Misery by their own Merit? |
A61251 | How much Profit and Pleasure hath arisen to Mankind by the Invention of Glass, and how strange Improvements have been made of it? |
A61251 | How often doth he shew Mercy to rebellious Israel, remembring Abraham, Isaac and Jacob his Servants, tho by many Generations distant from them? |
A61251 | How unbecoming were it and incongruous to the infinitely blessed and glorious God to express a Lie? |
A61251 | If again I consider, Whether such a Being will ever choose fitted Means for all his Purposes, and do nothing in vain? |
A61251 | If it were not for this inavoidable Instinct, would not the Soul prevent the Pains of Torture and Death? |
A61251 | If some Millions be at once praying to the same Saint, can meer Human Nature be raised to that height to hear all those at once? |
A61251 | If the Saints be adorable, how comes it that every one adores what Saint he pleases, and neglects the rest? |
A61251 | If this Patient continue obstinate, were he not a Self- murderer? |
A61251 | Is it not evidently more consonant to the Wisdom of God, to give Grace only to the Elect at the time of Conversion? |
A61251 | Is it not free for me to do with my own what I please? |
A61251 | Is there any Inconsistency, that that which once existed not, should after exist? |
A61251 | Is there any Promise for these Particulars? |
A61251 | Is there any other Soveraign can pretend these Titles? |
A61251 | Is therefore Man''s reasoning a brute Way? |
A61251 | It had not only been a Folly, but a Fault, to concur with the Atheist or the Ungodly in that Question; How doth God know? |
A61251 | It is excluded; by what Law? |
A61251 | It was the first, and is yet the most general Error, Why did God suffer Sin to enter into the World? |
A61251 | May he not then give a new Sense for spiritual Things? |
A61251 | Might he not have made all his Rational Creatures to be infallible? |
A61251 | Must we thence say, Hitherto my Father decrees, and I decree? |
A61251 | Now when they heard this they were pricked in their Hearts, and said unto Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, Men and Brethren, what shall we do? |
A61251 | O Lord how manifold are thy Works? |
A61251 | Or, why are we bidden to make sure our own Salvation? |
A61251 | Seeing God''s Knowledg is Infinite, it can not be comprehended by any Finite Capacity: Who can search the Almighty to Perfection? |
A61251 | Seest thou how Faith wrought with his Works? |
A61251 | Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
A61251 | Shall we then think that he acteth now in the same way that he did the first six Days? |
A61251 | Shall we therefore, because God hath said, Who can search the Almighty to Perfection? |
A61251 | The Apostle Paul accurately discussing that great Question, Whether Salvation be by Grace or by Works? |
A61251 | The Voluptuous think, Why did God give us Pleasure in such Objects, which results from them so powerfully, that we are not Masters of them? |
A61251 | The meaning can not be, Why doth God find fault that so many are reprobated? |
A61251 | Then comes the Question, In what inward Faculty or Power Liberty resides? |
A61251 | Then he called the Woman, and said to her, What is this that thou hast done? |
A61251 | They hold fast Deceit, they refuse to return; no Man repented him of his Wickedness, saying, What have I done? |
A61251 | This may confute their vain Curiosity, who enquire, why God did not sooner create the World? |
A61251 | Thus Job said, I have made a Covenant with my Eyes, why then should I look upon a Maid? |
A61251 | Thus it''s said, Can the Leopard change his Spots? |
A61251 | To which he answereth thus, Nay, but, O Man, Who art thou that replies against God? |
A61251 | Turn ye, turn ye from your evil Ways; for why will ye die, O House of Israel? |
A61251 | Was there either Necessity or Promise for the Prophet''s stopping the Clouds of Heaven for three Years and six Months? |
A61251 | Were it then possible that from Eternity he should have Good- will and Hatred to the same Person? |
A61251 | What Riches and Strength have the Hollanders arisen to, who at first had but Spots of Ground in the midst of vast Marishes? |
A61251 | What a pitiful Evasion is it, that a graven Image is only forbidden? |
A61251 | What can be more Arbitrary than what Name a Father will give his Child, which himself seldom knoweth many Days before he give it? |
A61251 | What strange Sounds doth the disordered Ear represent? |
A61251 | What then can induce them to deny themselves, and all others one of the most glorious Pearls of the Christian Crown, the Perseverance of Saints? |
A61251 | When Cain killed his Brother Abel, before God pronounced Sentence against him, he calls him, saying, What hast thou done? |
A61251 | When I consider, Whether such a Being will always express his Mind truly, and never deceive? |
A61251 | Where is boasting then? |
A61251 | Wherefore bath the Lord done this unto this great City? |
A61251 | Why he created but one World? |
A61251 | Why is a Plerophory, or full assurance of Salvation held forth in Scripture, if these be unattainable in this Life? |
A61251 | Why no more Kinds? |
A61251 | Will he always call upon God? |
A61251 | Will they be more glorious than the Devils were before they fell? |
A61251 | and for obtaining Rain when there was no second Cause for it? |
A61251 | and his Hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? |
A61251 | and resolve that it is because he is just: And if I yet further inquire, Why is God unchangeably just? |
A61251 | and the Capacity of the like to all his Posterity, if they continued sinless during the time of their Trial? |
A61251 | how unsearchable are his Judgments, and his Way past finding out? |
A61251 | might he not exhort them to accept it? |
A61251 | much less that he should have so many Changes of it? |
A61251 | no more Individuals? |
A61251 | no more Perfections? |
A61251 | of Works? |
A61251 | or was it a brute Way, unbeseeming God? |
A61251 | or, did he express his Purpose to give them? |
A61251 | that is, no Man can resist his Will if he please to soften him: And therefore why doth God complain that so many are hardened? |
A61251 | why hast thou forsaken me? |
A45572 | & c. 18 Have I wrong''d no man in his estate, by over- reaching him; in his name, by slandering, or back- biting? |
A45572 | & c. Did I not long continue in it, and have I yet thorowly repented of it? |
A45572 | & c. as Parent or Child, as Master or Servant? |
A45572 | 1 It is his Command, and dare I disobey it? |
A45572 | 1 WHat have I done this day for God and his Glory? |
A45572 | 1,& c. 22 Have I scorn''d and contemn''d the glory of the world, accounting it but dirt for Grace, and dross for Christ? |
A45572 | 10 What have I learnt this day? |
A45572 | 11 What of Gods word have I remembred or read, repeated or heard this day? |
A45572 | 12 What graces have I especially exercised? |

A45572 | 13.1,& c. 21 Hath my cloathing Been suitable to my place and station? |
A45572 | 14 Have I been affected with the evils of sin or misery of others, of Nation, Parish and Family, of Friends or Foes? |
A45572 | 14 How may I this day order my secular business with most wisdom and honesty, and for my greater advantage? |
A45572 | 15 Am I sit now to pour out my soul to God in Prayer? |
A45572 | 15 Have I shewn more especial love and pity to those that are of the houshold of Faith? |
A45572 | 16 Did the Church of God and interest of Christ lie near my heart this day? |
A45572 | 17 Can my Family witness that I have done any good for or to them? |
A45572 | 19 Have I forgiven mine enemies, rejoyc''d at others mercies, and not envied any ones honour, riches, or friends, and coveted them? |
A45572 | 2 Doth God threaten these Judgments, and denounce these curses on sinners? |
A45572 | 2 In what frame hath mine heart been all this day? |
A45572 | 2 What a poor worthless worm and wretch am 1? |

A45572 | 25 Do I believe Hell torments dreadful and eternal? |
A45572 | 27 Have I not in all I have done, minded man more then God? |
A45572 | 28 Dare I lie down this night without praying earnestly to God for the pardon of my sins, the blessings of the night, and the salvation of my soul? |
A45572 | 3 Are these his calls and invitations? |
A45572 | 3 What were mine aims and ends, in what I went about? |
A45572 | 4 Think with your self, What good did I get by former, yea, by the last Sabbath? |
A45572 | 4 What spiritual duties have I performed this day? |
A45572 | 4 Yet what preparation have I made? |
A45572 | 5 How faithful, diligent and careful have I been in my Place and Calling? |

A45572 | And dare I meet Christ coming in flaming fire, with ten thousand of my sins to take vengeance? |
A45572 | And do I not fly from this wrath to come? |
A45572 | And if so, were the thoughts of him sweet and precious to my soul? |
A45572 | And must I not tremble? |
A45572 | Are my graces sound, and of the right kind? |
A45572 | Ask seriously, Have I the love that is sincere, the Faith that is sound, soul- saving; and sin- killing, and life- reforming? |
A45572 | But what is it to have sweet singings turned into bitter howlings? |

A45572 | Can you do the Devils work now, and the next hour Gods? |
A45572 | Dare I lie down with the guilt or filth of any one sin? |
A45572 | Debate the case with your soul solemnly, What is there in sin, that I so much dote on? |
A45572 | Deckt and glittering rooms, pleasant walks, rich attire, delicious fare into dark Dungeons, unquenchable lakes of fire and brimstone? |

A45572 | Did I reprove, exhort, strengthen, encourage, comfort, or warn, as occasion was given, and need required? |
A45572 | Do I admire Gods goodness for the last nights sleep, for adding more time to my life: and am I heartily thankful? |
A45572 | Do I honour the King, and obey Governors for Conscience sake? |
A45572 | Do I prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy? |
A45572 | Do I see in Jesus Christ a beauty and excellency, a fulness and all- sufficiency? |
A45572 | Doth God knock at the door of my heart? |

A45572 | Have I this day searcht, judg''d, and condemn''d my self? |
A45572 | Have there been no idle hours in the day? |
A45572 | Heaven, Grace, and Christ are offered, and dare I refuse all? |
A45572 | How are we now to provide for Heaven? |
A45572 | How did I lye down and rise up? |
A45572 | How doth this filth stream through every duty and mercy? |
A45572 | How holy should my thoughts be, how heavenly my discourse, how earnest mine endeavours all the day long? |
A45572 | How should I come crawling, crouching, and trembling to the Throne of Grace? |
A45572 | If God should shut mine eyes by death, how is it like to be with my soul? |
A45572 | If I am Gods child, must I not wear the glorious garment of Righteousness, that royal sparkling livery of Heaven? |
A45572 | If I shall come to glory, what a God shall I enjoy for ever and ever? |
A45572 | If I should spend this day in vanity, sin and idleness, will it not be bitterness and sorrow at night? |
A45572 | If I spend it holily and profitably, shall I not pray with more confidence, and lie down with the more peace? |
A45572 | If an heir of heaven, should I not cast off the rags of corruption, and take heed of defiling my self with the mire of sin? |
A45572 | In the strength of Christ will I not be terrified from, be ashamed of, or grow weary in well- doing? |
A45572 | In what frame is my heart at present? |
A45572 | Is he the chiefest of ten thousands, altogether lovely in mine eye? |
A45572 | Is my heart such as God may love and delight in? |
A45572 | Is there any returning from the Grave to amend? |
A45572 | It s misery endless and easeless? |
A45572 | Its flames unspeakably scorching? |
A45572 | Little over- aw''d or restrained by Gods All- seeing eye, merciful heart, or revenging hand? |
A45572 | My life as a vapour, a shadow? |
A45572 | Or do I make up breaches and follow peace with all men? |
A45572 | Out of a Sea of troubles and dangers, into an Haven of Peace, Rest, and Plenty? |
A45572 | Rather ask, What a good Word we heard this day? |
A45572 | Say, Here I am, what wilt thou have me to do? |
A45572 | The great Questions are, how Corn was sold the last Market day, and what Corn in such a field? |
A45572 | Think, Do I pray now as for Heaven? |
A45572 | Those sins that were as jewels in your eye, yea, as your right hand or eye, are they now as milstones and loads to your soul? |
A45572 | Thy, body was broken to let out thy blood for my sake, and shall not my heart be broken to let out the filth and gore of my sin? |
A45572 | VVhat is my heavenly work, but to run a race, fight a good fight, strive and wrestle? |
A45572 | VVhat is the sure gain and most lasting good? |
A45572 | VVherein is the greatest vanity and vexation, but in the world? |
A45572 | Was God in my thoughts? |

A56865 | How would we have more cleerly expressed what this perfection ought to be, then to say, you must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect? |
A56865 | I will appeal to man himself; how often his prudence, reason, and conduct have deceived him? |
A56865 | If God be so pleased, as to annihilate us by pains and temptations, what have we to say against it? |
A56865 | If this be done to the green wood, what will be done to the dry? |

A56865 | In brief, what greater annihilation then that of the Crosse? |
A56865 | In fine, who can doubt so manifest a truth? |
A56865 | Into how many errours have his inclinations and his passions precipitated him? |
A56865 | Is it not reason it should be so? |
A56865 | Is not this to say all that we have proposed? |
A56865 | Is there any thing more reasonable then to love them that love us? |

A56865 | Now who sees not that all Christians are obliged to this kind of life, if they will be saved? |
A56865 | Now, what good, what interest can God have in our action, but the accomplishment of his will and pleasure? |
A56865 | O how great will these obligations appeare to those that consider them? |
A56865 | O just God, God of all bounty, who shall enlighten us in this darkness? |
A56865 | Since then by this Mystery of Love, God is made man, why by an emanation of the same Mystery may not man be God? |
A56865 | The first thing that I ask of them, is, What is the end of the life and actions of a Christian? |
A56865 | The soul in the sight of this truth, must say in her self; If all creatures are nothing before God, what am I who am the least? |
A56865 | The state of Christianity teaches this purity: for if we are Gods, and love only for God, why then all these satisfactions? |
A56865 | Then again, addressing his speech to men; Wherefore, saith he, O men of nothing, do you wander in the search of many things? |
A56865 | This granted, how can they live, who have any other object then God? |
A56865 | To what end serves all the rest? |
A56865 | To what end so many desires? |
A56865 | To what end so much care, so much prudence, and humane providence? |
A56865 | To what purpose so much fear, so much reluctancy? |
A56865 | WHat think we God requires of us for so powerfull a work of his Love? |
A56865 | We demand whence these evils proceed, who hath precipitated so many souls from the heighth of grace and perfection? |
A56865 | What Christian seeing so much sweetness, will not resign himself to the excess of this goodness, to the power of this love? |
A56865 | What Religion ever had the presence of its God so visible? |
A56865 | What can a soul desire, to whom its God and Creator is made all things? |
A56865 | What can be more said? |
A56865 | What can be said more? |
A56865 | What can content him, who is not content with God, saith St. Prosper? |
A56865 | What can we think to be greater? |
A56865 | What difficulty can there be in a thing so evident? |
A56865 | What difficulty do we find in this kind of life? |
A56865 | What honour is it to a Christian to weare the Livery of Iesus Christ? |
A56865 | What is the cause of this evill? |
A56865 | What is there more cleer? |
A56865 | What more can be hoped? |
A56865 | What more clear or more to our purpose? |
A56865 | What more cleer and greater annihilation can God require, then to command the greatest and mightiest, to become as children? |
A56865 | What more powerful and clear testimony of the will of God, who tries and elects Souls that worship him, in spirit and truth? |
A56865 | What ought the heart of a man to be where God hath made himself a seat which he hath chosen and consecrated to be the throne of his love? |
A56865 | What presence or commerce with God would you desire greater? |
A56865 | What remedy? |
A56865 | What remedy? |
A56865 | What shall we do then in the midst of so many perplexities? |
A56865 | What then may this operate in us? |
A56865 | What vertue and perfection can that soul have, which lives not conformable to this estate? |
A56865 | What? |
A56865 | What? |
A56865 | When we shall consider these three Circumstances, what can we think or say, but that God will have us no longer men, but gods? |
A56865 | Where shall we find a sanctuary and secure refuge? |
A56865 | Wherefore do I flatter my self, and believe my self to be something, when in truth I am nothing? |
A56865 | Which if it be so, how we can say, that our actions are indifferent? |
A56865 | Who can deny so manifest a truth? |
A56865 | Who can number these wonders? |
A56865 | Who will not see the deformity and weight of our sins, and how much they surpass the rigour and weight of our sufferings? |
A56865 | and if in practising it outwardly, we reflect not upon it self? |
A56865 | can any man yet doubt of the bounty and love of God? |
A56865 | can it be that the Manna of Heaven should not cause us to loath the Onyons of AEgypt? |
A56865 | distrust his wisdom after so manifest a truth? |
A56865 | or spoke in more express terms? |
A56865 | shall we call them devout, who flatter, haply glorify themselves in their fair appearances, and only study the exteriour, despising all the rest? |
A56865 | shall we therefore injure Truth? |
A56865 | to be esteemed of men, and to satisfie ones own conscience, if in truth, and before God he be not perfect in the state of Christianity? |
A56865 | to seem good in some vocation? |
A56865 | to what end serves it to be excellent in some condition and estate? |
A56865 | we are his members, he is our Head; were it not a shame to see the body decked with flowers, bathed in delights, and the head crowned with Thorns? |
A56865 | what being was ever advanced to so great an honour? |
A56865 | what can we love thee well, O God of our souls, yet make shew to hate thee? |
A56865 | what doth that soul learn which knowes not his truth? |
A56865 | what greater love could God testifie to us, then to make us capable to love him, and to create us to possess him? |
A56865 | what greater society then that of the word, by the Mystery of the incarnation? |
A56865 | what happiness to follow his steps? |
A56865 | what presumption is it in men of this age, to assure themselves amidst so many dangers? |
A56865 | what resentment of devotion can be found in a Christian who lives in a state unworthy of God, and displeasing to his goodness? |
A56865 | whence comes it, that they profit nothing amidst so much care and Travel? |
A56865 | wherefore should I attribute to my self, the honour, contentment and glory, which belongs onely to my Lord? |
A56865 | whereto are directed all our actions, if they are not acceptable to God? |
A56865 | who findes not now how much this life is easier then it was represented, and all together contrary to what was expected? |
A56865 | who shall assure us amidst so many doubts? |
A56865 | who shall resolve us in an affaire so doubtfull? |
A56865 | why are we in the World, if we please not God? |
A56865 | why do I glorifie my self, and please my self in that which belongs not to me? |
A56865 | why dost thou not see the dignity of thy being, the happiness which thou mayst possess, the eminency of the condition whereto thou art created? |
A56865 | why so many exercises, so many intentions, such multiplicity of thoughts? |
A45322 | ALas, Lord, how tenderly sensible I am of the least bodily complaint that can befall mee? |
A45322 | Alas, we can not be but lame in all our obediences: What can fall from defective causes, but imperfect effects? |
A45322 | And can wee doubt that it will be else- where better with us? |
A45322 | And canst thou pretend to bee within the verge of heaven, and not rejoyce? |
A45322 | And if we be wo nt to measure the worth of al things by their vertues and uses, and operations, what is it that your wealth can do? |
A45322 | And were it so precious as you imagine, what hold have you of it? |
A45322 | And what privilege can meer time give us in our duration? |
A45322 | And whose fault is it but ours, if wee forget the engagements of our sicke beds? |
A45322 | And why is this way narrow, but because it is untracked, and untrodden? |
A45322 | Another, Are not these my rich Mines? |
A45322 | Another, Is not this my royall and adored Magnificence? |
A45322 | Are they restrained? |
A45322 | Are you ever the wiser, ever the holier, ever the quieter for that which you have purchased with teares, and blood? |
A45322 | Art thou in heaven and know''st it not? |
A45322 | But above all other, did not those surpass in madnesse, who allowed of all Heresies, and professed to hold all opinions true? |
A45322 | But had they beene double to the age of Methusaleh, could they have been so much as a minute to eternity? |
A45322 | But narrow in respect of the weaknesse and insufficiency of our obedience? |
A45322 | But what were the place, O my soule, how goodly& glorious soever in it self, if it were not for the presence of him whose being there makes it heaven? |
A45322 | But, alas, what poor things are these in comparison of those heavenly promotions? |
A45322 | Can it free you from cares? |
A45322 | Can the Ward, after an hard pupillage chuse but rejoyce that the day is comming wherein he shall freely enjoy all his Lordly revenues and roialties? |
A45322 | Can we not feed on good meate without a surfet? |
A45322 | Can yee bee happier in a change? |
A45322 | Canst thou make question of the truth of the Earnest? |
A45322 | Cast thine eyes abroad into the world, what canst thou see but killing and dying? |
A45322 | Cast thine eyes up into heaven, how canst thou but thinke of the place of thy approaching rest? |
A45322 | Could they be lesse mad than they, that of the same Tree, would make a block for their fire, and a God for their Adoration? |
A45322 | Could they be other than blasphemously mad, that held there are two Gods, one good the other evill, and that all creatures were made by the latter? |
A45322 | Could they bee any other than mad men, that thought there was one God of the hils, another of the vallies? |
A45322 | Could they bee any other than stark mad that would lance, and gash their owne flesh, because their Block did not answer them by fire? |
A45322 | Could they bee other than mad which would worship Cain, Iudas, the Sodomites? |
A45322 | Doe wee not know what abides for us above? |
A45322 | HOw officious, O God, doe I see thy poore dumbe Creatures to us? |
A45322 | HOw regularly, O God, hast thou determined a set season for all thy Creatures, both for their actions and their use? |
A45322 | HOw slowly the houres seem to pace when we are big with the desire and expectation of any earthly contentment? |
A45322 | Had I made them, I could but require of them their absolute submission: Why should I then exact of them, more than I am ready to performe unto thee? |
A45322 | Hath the world benummed thee with such a dull stupidity that thou art growne regardlesse and insensible of eternall blessednesse? |
A45322 | Have yee not found their promises false, their performances unsatisfactory, their disappointment irksome? |
A45322 | Have yee not full often complained of the worthlesnesse, and satiety of these poore vanities here below? |
A45322 | Hee that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow, saith the Kingly Preacher: Have I children? |
A45322 | How canst thou containe thy selfe any longer within these bounds of my flesh, when thou feelest thy selfe thus initiated into glory? |
A45322 | How canst thou then, bee, but pleasingly affected, O my soul, with the comfortable sense of having a God, a Savior, an heaven of thine own? |
A45322 | How justly glorifiable is thy name in the gracious, and sometimes miraculous, preservation of thy Children? |
A45322 | How many great wits are there in the world, which lie willingly concealed? |
A45322 | How many successions and changes of Princes both at home, and abroad? |
A45322 | How much good ground is there in the World, that is neither cultured nor owned? |
A45322 | How much more wouldst thou have it thus in the best of all blessings, the eternell fruition of heaven? |
A45322 | How oft have I not grudged to go a foule way to a friends house, where I knew my entertainement kind and cordiall? |
A45322 | How past the admiration of men and Angels, is that transcendent proof of thy divine love, in the more than marvelous work of our Redemption? |
A45322 | How should any perfect gift arise from the region of all imperfection? |
A45322 | How should evill afford any good? |
A45322 | How willingly, O Lord, should I stoop to this just condition of my Creation? |
A45322 | I can not bee rid of envy: Have I knowledge? |
A45322 | I can not bee void of cares: Have I honour? |
A45322 | If I look into my study; what are all those books, but the monuments of other dead authors? |
A45322 | If but a tooth begin to ake, or a thorn have rankled in my flesh, or but an angry Corne vexe my Toe, how am I incessantly troubled with the pain? |
A45322 | If the question be of a sinfull act already committed, what a shuffling there is to face it out by a stout justification? |
A45322 | In this sad case what is to bee done? |
A45322 | Is the Sun to be blamed that the Travellers cloak swelts him with heat? |
A45322 | Is the fruit of the Grape guilty of that Drunkennesse which followes upon a sinful excess? |
A45322 | Is the question concerning Vertue? |
A45322 | Is the question of sinne? |
A45322 | Is there any thing in this miserable world that can be worthy to carry you away from the hopes and affectations of blessednesse? |
A45322 | It is God that justifieth; who is he that condemneth? |
A45322 | It was a just question of the wisest of men, A wounded spirit who can bear? |
A45322 | Let the Sun shine never so bright, what is this to thee if thou bee blinde? |
A45322 | Lord what troubles and sorrowes hast thou let me see, both my owne and others? |
A45322 | Lord, how doe I see poore worldlings please themselves in the conceit of their miserable proprieties? |
A45322 | Nay, were they not worse than mad, who if we may beleeve Hosius, and Lindanus, and Prateolus, worshipt the Devill ten times every day? |
A45322 | No, alas, all our earthly contentments are like a Jewish Passeover, which wee must eate with soure herbes: Have I wealth? |
A45322 | O God, how can we hope to avoid delusions upon earth, when even the face of heaven may thus deceive us? |
A45322 | O My God, what a comfortable assurance is this which thou hast given to my soule? |
A45322 | O my soul, how canst thou bee unmindfull of our parting, when thou art plyed with so many monitors? |
A45322 | O then, with what unspeakable joy, and jubilation, dost thou entertaine thy happinesse? |
A45322 | Oh what an heaven is this which thou hast canopied over our heads? |
A45322 | One thinks, Is not this my great Babylon which I have built? |
A45322 | Rather than health should make us godlesse, how much better were it for us to be alwaies sicke? |
A45322 | Surely thine Apostle bids me rejoyce continually, and, who would not wish to do so? |
A45322 | Surely, as we finde here, that the Sun puts out the fire, and the greater light ever extinguisheth the lesse: so why may wee not think it to be above? |
A45322 | Thou knowest thy Originall is heavenly, why are not thy affections so? |
A45322 | VIctory it selfe is the great reward of our fight; but what is it, O God that thou promisest to give us as the reward of our Victory? |
A45322 | VVhat a sway of Providence is this that governes the world? |
A45322 | WHat a fool were I, if I should thinke to finde that, which Solomon could not; contentment upon earth? |
A45322 | WHat a subtile Devill wee have to deale with? |
A45322 | WHat are all excellencies without respect of their use? |
A45322 | WHy do wee complaine of the difficulty of a Christian profession, when we heare our Saviour say, My yoak is easie, and my burden is light? |
A45322 | What a world of precious metals lies hid in the bowels of the earth, which shall never be coined? |
A45322 | What abominable sacrilege in those that would bee zealous? |
A45322 | What agonies in temptations? |
A45322 | What alterations of Governments? |
A45322 | What anguish in the oppressed and tormented? |
A45322 | What can fall into my thoughts or desires, beside, or beyond that which is infinite? |
A45322 | What canst thou finde here below worthy to either withdraw, or detain thee from those heavenly Mansions? |
A45322 | What cruelties and barbarismes in revenges? |
A45322 | What delicacies of Fouls and Fishes doe both Elements afford, which shall never come to the Dish? |
A45322 | What drunken revellings, what Sodomitical filthinesse, what hellish profanations in Atheous ruffians? |
A45322 | What ebbes and flowes of condition? |
A45322 | What frenzies of rebellions? |
A45322 | What grosse superstition in the ignorant? |
A45322 | What havocks of warre? |
A45322 | What insolence did I see in men of power? |
A45322 | What is below but earth and hell? |
A45322 | What is that makes heaven, but joy and felicity? |
A45322 | What perfidiousnesse in friendship, what cozenage in contracts, what cruelty in revenges; Shortly, what an Hell upon Earth? |
A45322 | What rage in men of bloud? |
A45322 | What ruines and desolations of Kingdoms? |
A45322 | What sacking of Cities? |
A45322 | What shiftings and downfalls of Favourites? |
A45322 | What should I need to instance in any more, or to contract a large Volume of Hereseology? |
A45322 | What store of rich Pearles and Diamonds are hoarded up in the earth and sea, which shall never see the light? |
A45322 | What then, what is it that thou canst sticke at, O my soul? |
A45322 | What turnings of times? |
A45322 | What underminings of treachery? |
A45322 | What vicissitudes of sicknesse and health? |
A45322 | When thou art all in all to us, what can the knowledge of any creature adde to our blessednesse? |
A45322 | Whither are yee stray, O my thoughts? |
A45322 | Who hath heard the Nightingale in the heat of harvest? |
A45322 | Why should it not be thus alwaies with me? |
A45322 | Why therefore, oh, why, should ye be loath to part upon faire termes? |
A45322 | With what contempt now, dost thou looke downe upon those muddy foundations of earth, which the low spirits of worldlings are wo nt to admire? |
A45322 | Yea, what speake I of the times of ignorance? |
A45322 | Yea, what stand we upon this? |
A45322 | and how favourable indulgence and remission in case of our faylings? |
A45322 | and how is that again surrounded with severall heights of those lightsome Regions, unmeasurable for their glorious dimensions? |
A45322 | and lie equally still to be shorne, or slain at our pleasure? |
A45322 | and what doe I desire on earth in comparison of thee? |
A45322 | and what gracious latitude hast thou given us in it of our Obedience? |
A45322 | can it keepe you from head- aches, from Gouts, Dropsies, Feavers and other bodily distempers? |
A45322 | can it lengthen your sleeps? |
A45322 | can it make your account easier in the great day of reckoning? |
A45322 | can it ransome you from death? |
A45322 | concurring with, and actuating the motions and operations of all second causes of whatsoever is done in heaven, or in earth? |
A45322 | hast thou no stomack to thy happinesse? |
A45322 | how admirably beautifull? |
A45322 | how bestudded with goodly Globes of Light? |
A45322 | how carefully do I seek for a speedy remedy? |
A45322 | how doe they beare our stripes with a trembling unresistance? |
A45322 | how doe they fawne, or crouch, as they see us affected? |
A45322 | how doe they run and fetch, and carry, and draw at our command? |
A45322 | how feelingly doe I bemoane my selfe? |
A45322 | how great and happie should I have seemed, not more in others eies, than in my own? |
A45322 | how have I seen that poor Fowl, after the patience of a painfull hatching, clocking her little brood together? |
A45322 | how immensely capacious? |
A45322 | how patiently doe they yield us their milk and their fleeces for our advantage? |
A45322 | how readily doe they spend their strength, and their lives in our service? |
A45322 | if thou doe not earnestly wish for a full consummation of that heavenly match? |
A45322 | it were strange, if without crosses: Have I pleasures? |
A45322 | not without a sting: Have I health? |
A45322 | not without the inconveniences of satiety: Have I beauty? |
A45322 | not without the threats of disease: Have I full diet? |
A45322 | or the Bittern bearing her base in the coldest Moneths? |
A45322 | over- ruling the highest, and stooping to the meanest peece of thy Creation? |
A45322 | what assurance to enjoy it, or your self but one hour? |
A45322 | what big thoughts had hereupon swolne up my heart in the daies of my vanitie? |
A45322 | what canst thou now make account of but to despair and die? |
A45322 | what means this sinfull and lossefull inconstancy? |
A45322 | what pangs in dying? |
A45322 | whereto have all thy sweet favours, and gracious love- tokens tended, but to this issue of blessednesse? |
A45322 | which till I feel, how little relish doe I finde in my wonted contentment? |
A45322 | with what scorne and insultation doth he look upon my dejectednesse? |
A61672 | ( but, who would not desire to express them?) |
A61672 | ( that''s compleat deliverance indeed) And when He comes to shew that, what shall we then see, but the rewards of our Love? |
A61672 | 1. Who can express the noble acts of the Lord? |
A61672 | A strange thing it is, that what hath been done by all these, should not, in some measure, be possible unto us? |
A61672 | About what shall I now employ this better part of my self? |
A61672 | Admitte, Domine, provocationem hanc, Ni admiseris perimus; Et ô Domine, non ad Te pertinet, si perimus? |
A61672 | After this hazard, is he likely to hold out, that is thus born of a woman? |
A61672 | And Moses saith, quid amplius? |
A61672 | And all the while, whose Prayers and endeavours fight against the common Enemy of Mankind? |
A61672 | And can not tame creatures, that have reason, be kept in their right state? |
A61672 | And doth not the Gospel speak the same, language? |
A61672 | And how can the Heart be filled with those graces that preserve it, untill it be a pure Heart? |
A61672 | And how uncertain is that little? |
A61672 | And in the fruition of whose love, we have a fair way made to the enjoying of everything else worth the loving? |
A61672 | And shall not we regard it and afford our presence, to meet Him there? |
A61672 | And that will not be enough, unlesse every Night again we call our selves to account, and inquire, How all this hath appeared in our practice? |
A61672 | And then there would be another Quaestion: Whether we do so perform it? |
A61672 | And what are we now, or what do we? |
A61672 | And what if we say it more then once? |
A61672 | And what need I thus enlarge my self in these particulars? |
A61672 | And what use do I mean this day to make of this soul? |
A61672 | And who can be filled with sweet and pretious virtues, till his Body and Soul are become pure, and fit vessels, wherein to receive them? |
A61672 | And who ever saw Sheep play the Wolves, or not be at peace with one another? |
A61672 | And who would not strive for that crowne? |
A61672 | And who would not strive to purchase the Helmet of that Hope? |
A61672 | And why should we not here? |
A61672 | And yet( in stead of eschewing) how many hug and applaud themselves in it? |
A61672 | And yet( would you think it?) |
A61672 | Are we here advised to keep the heart? |
A61672 | But may we not stop a little, when we look upon our selves? |
A61672 | But what doth He for them that Love Him? |
A61672 | But what if they dye in the Noon- time of their day? |
A61672 | But what is become of Cor unum? |
A61672 | But what need wee see it in a shadow? |
A61672 | But what speak I of diseases? |
A61672 | But what speak I of infolent ambitious Haman? |
A61672 | But what speak I of my poor self, or the helpes that I had from that walking Library, and Miracle of Learning and Goodness? |
A61672 | But wherewithall? |
A61672 | But, what''s all the rest? |
A61672 | Can their life be expressed by a Day? |
A61672 | Can we alter the nature of other unruly Creatures, that have no reason to guide them? |
A61672 | Can we carelesly cast our eyes over such powerful Motives to a nocturnal scrutiny, and Inquisition into our sinful souls? |
A61672 | Can we tame the furious horse? |
A61672 | Can wild creatures, that have no reason, be made tame? |
A61672 | Could their Charity empty themselves of all that they had, and can not our justice give every man his own? |
A61672 | Dare we venter to fleep in sin,& so perhaps to loose those souls, before we know where to find them again? |
A61672 | Do not even Sinners the same? |
A61672 | Do we conceive, that what the holy Scripture enjoyns, and we are commanded to preach, is left to our liberty to practice as we or you shall see cause? |
A61672 | Doth he not exhaust his strength, and abilities, by Sea, and Land, to compasse what he aimes at, though with hazard of health, and life it self? |
A61672 | Doth he not rise early, and late retire himself to rest? |
A61672 | Doth not this also trouble us, without any ground? |
A61672 | Especially if we would consider withall that it is not left to us, as a matter indifferent, whether we will follow Peace or no? |
A61672 | Et quid dicam jam? |
A61672 | First how good it is? |
A61672 | For as? |
A61672 | For could they macerate themselves with Fasting, and can not we abstain from riot and excess? |
A61672 | For how read we there? |
A61672 | For if we are at peace with them onely, that are at peace with us, what thanks have we? |
A61672 | For what can be denied to such a Love? |
A61672 | For what is it that we would have? |
A61672 | For when are we so forgetful, as to leave the body one day without meat, and drink, and sleep, and attendance, at several houres? |
A61672 | For whether can I go to hide my self from thy knowledg of me, or from thy dreadful omnipresence? |
A61672 | For who accounts not himself to be one of the Faithful? |
A61672 | For who can be admitted to the sight of him, and not be happy? |
A61672 | For who can deter the cool of the Morning to some remoter part of the day? |
A61672 | For who seeth the shadow, as it passeth along upon the Diall? |
A61672 | For, how can they reach that which is infinite? |
A61672 | For, what stormes? |
A61672 | Hath he not left us all, as Sheep under one Sh ● … pherd? |
A61672 | Hath not our Saviour left us the same Legacy of Peace? |
A61672 | Have we no limitation in this case? |
A61672 | He that hath washed himself after the touching of a dead body; if he touch it again, what avails his washing? |
A61672 | How dear are thy Counsels unto me, O God, O how great is the summe of them? |
A61672 | How doth the coveteous man follow his beloved gain? |
A61672 | How eagerly, and with what pains, do they hunt after that, which they fancy their best prize, and content? |
A61672 | How is Haman out of all patience, if Mordecai do not shew him some respect? |
A61672 | How is the Prophet Jonas fully vexed, if he do but want his gourd, when the Sun began to convey a little more then ordinary heat? |
A61672 | How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? |
A61672 | How often this hath moved us, I know not: But shall we recall to memory what we have read of our Saviour himself? |
A61672 | How then can they think to escape, that neglect so great Salvation? |
A61672 | If I tell them, they are more in number? |
A61672 | If our looks begin to bear the Characters of old Age, let us ask our selves, what we have done, to make that Age honourable? |
A61672 | If that were not Motive enough, who would not love him above all, in whom are all beauties and loves, in an eminent manner, beyond our apprehension? |
A61672 | If the Church hath been so heretofore, why should not we be like minded? |
A61672 | If there be no excuse: What kind of Love shall we present to God? |
A61672 | If thou wilt not labour, why dost thou cumber the ground? |
A61672 | Investigatis operibus Indagatis cogitationibus Quale Judicium erit in me? |
A61672 | Is it Beauty? |
A61672 | Is it a Duty within the reatch of our ability? |
A61672 | Is it a task for us to perform? |
A61672 | Is it not farr above the strange imaginary Musick of the Spheres? |
A61672 | Is not all this true? |
A61672 | Is not this rare Musick? |
A61672 | Jubet Deus ut petas,& Docet quid petas,& Promittit quod petis,& Displicet ei, si non petis;& Tu non Petis tamen? |
A61672 | Lord, what is man, that thou hast such respect unto him, and the Son of man, that Thou dost so regard him? |
A61672 | Must we not watch and mistrust our selves, and be our own Remembrancers to keep us close to our task? |
A61672 | Nay with what ceremony, and in what state are those times for the most part strictly observed? |
A61672 | Nay, what if Death enter into the very chambers of the Womb, and cut off the thread of their life, before they see light? |
A61672 | No better, did I say? |
A61672 | Nobisne ut nos inter nos eam praestare, Tute vero eandem ut non praestes? |
A61672 | Now will a little care, and a little time be sufficient to fit us for the knowledg and practice of all this? |
A61672 | O quàm bonum,& quàm jucundum,( saith that pious and warlike King,) O how good and pleasant a thing it is? |
A61672 | Or what Doves will come to filthy cottages? |
A61672 | Or what excuse can we make for our selves, that we are not so employ''d? |
A61672 | Or would we partake of true Riches, or knowledg, or pleasure? |
A61672 | Or( if they also do not move) shall I provoke you by the example of little children the weaker age, such as Daniel, and those three in the Furnace? |
A61672 | Our glory did I call it? |
A61672 | Postulat spiritus pro nobis gemitibus inenarrabilibus: num tuus velmeus spiritus est inenarrabilis? |
A61672 | Qu ● … Spes? |
A61672 | Quis dabit menti meae flagella, Quae peccatis meis non parcant? |
A61672 | Quis me fascinavit Ut sic desiperem? |
A61672 | Sed toties relapsus, quâ fronte, quâ mente Reverti jam potero? |
A61672 | Shall I more fully explain, what is the true Force of( 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉) which is, Following? |

A16680 | Art thou sick? |
A16680 | As one retired from the sight both of God and man, to promise more impunitie to sinne, I stickt not to say, Who seeth mee? |
A16680 | Aske her then; will shee be stayd by these friends, of which Time makes shadowes, or injury profest foes? |

A16680 | For all things doe there stand, where nothing passeth: Wilt thou then stand there, and not passe? |
A16680 | For as yet, what peace is there in us? |
A16680 | For can the sound of his words possibly delight thine eares, seeing he can scarcely pronounce his words through the dropping decay of his teeth? |

A16680 | For tell mee, who loves thee as I doe? |
A16680 | For thy flesh, thou calst upon Devils: tell me, hath God made thy soule, and the Devils made thy flesh? |
A16680 | For what brought I into the world with mee, but pulleyes which haled mee along to miserie? |

A16680 | For what way soever she turned herselfe, she found scandals, tribulations, feares, tentations: In what man living safe security? |
A16680 | For why doth my soule appointed for me, only love thy Sonne; why doth she thus hate mee, why relinquisheth shee all things concerning me? |
A16680 | Hast thou followed him in the sweet smell of his savor? |
A16680 | Hast thou left thy thirst after gold, possessions, honours, beauty? |
A16680 | Hast thou onely relyed on his providence? |
A16680 | Hast thou tenderd to him thy sole and soveraigne dutie? |

A16680 | How is the Apostle not heard? |
A16680 | How is the Devill heard? |
A16680 | How knowest thou then whether might more redound to his profit, to dye or live? |
A16680 | How long hast thou turned in thy bed, like a doore on the hinges, promising thy selfe security, when nothing was farther from thee? |
A16680 | How long have I been in a miserable state, and knew it not? |
A16680 | How long have I beene a Stranger to my Fathers house, and returned not? |
A16680 | How long have I beene in preparing, and am still unprepared? |
A16680 | How long have I wearied my selfe with these wayward cares? |
A16680 | How long seemed that day, when learning was enjoyned me for a taske? |
A16680 | How long wilt thou turn thy face from us? |

A16680 | I, both on the Crosse, as likewise all my life long, was full of reproaches, and sorrowes: wilt thou bestow thy time upon honours and pleasures? |
A16680 | If I bought my owne glory at so high a rate: Who shall have it altogether freely, and for nothing? |
A16680 | If there bee no beauty in Righteousnesse, whence is it that the Righteous old man is loved? |
A16680 | If wee thus love peace begun in us, how much shall we praise it when perfected in us? |
A16680 | Is God good, if he give thee what thou would''st have? |
A16680 | Is it because he praiseth? |
A16680 | Is it his owne home? |
A16680 | Is it so, that thou hast beene such a long stranger in thy owne Countrey, as thou hast quite forgot it, or car ● st not much if thou never see it? |
A16680 | May not all thy sensuality here dye? |
A16680 | May not thine heart here burst? |
A16680 | My Soule hath thirsted after thee, ô God, when shall I come and appeare before thy face? |
A16680 | My flesh requireth a soft bed, a pretious weed, spacious and specious houses, but tell thou mee, O my holy Love, what an one might be thy chamber? |
A16680 | Now tell mee, was this all that might bee required of mee? |

A16680 | O good JESU, if it bee so sweet to weep for thee, how sweet is it to rejoyce for thee? |
A16680 | O how long hast thou preferred the prodigals huskes of vanity, before the delitious viands of eternity? |
A16680 | O that shee might but purchase some small remainder of time for repentance, what a sharp course of conversation would she take upon her? |
A16680 | O what a prize, what a bootie, held I a favour snatcht from a light piece of beautie? |
A16680 | O what death shall I desire? |
A16680 | O yee curiosities and superfluities, how comes it to passe, that there is any place left for you among Christians? |

A16680 | Sometimes doe these things deceive men, whence it is they say, Behold, since this man became a Christian, did his head never ake? |
A16680 | Suppose that any dead corpse should be burnt to ashes, or that dogs should teare it, doe you therefore thinke that it shall not rise againe? |
A16680 | Tell me then( poore fearfull soule) what is it that so much troubles thee in this thy passage? |
A16680 | Tell me ye Sinners: What have yee suffered for me your governour, who when I was just, suffered so great things for your sakes? |
A16680 | Tell mee, O sweet Lord, where it is that thou lyest, where thou sleepest at noone? |
A16680 | Then, with what signes, with what face shall I seeke thee? |
A16680 | Thirdly, if shee bee thus forsaken of all her Honours, what can she expect from Pleasures? |

A23696 | THINE Eyes are lost; What need thy Heart to go with''em? |
A23696 | THINK''ST thou, that those whom thou esteem''st eminent in Grace, make not the same moan that thou do''st? |
A23696 | THOU abhorrest Death, and fleest from it as from a Serpent: but dost thou know his sting is gone? |
A23696 | THOU art Blind? |
A23696 | THOU art Imprison''d: Wise Men are apt in all Events, to enquire into the Causes: Wherefore dost thou suffer? |

A23696 | THOU art forced to Retiredness, but with what Disposition of Mind and Body? |
A23696 | THOU art from thy Country: Who is not so? |
A23696 | THOU art now Sick: Wert thou not a long time Healthful, and canst thou not take that patiently which God hath allotted thee? |
A23696 | THOU art surpriz''d with Sickness; accuse thy self for it; Who forbid thee expecting so sure a Guest? |

A23696 | THOU complainest of dry Loyns, and a Barren Womb; as Abraham did before thee: What wilt thou give me, seeing I go Childless? |

A23696 | THOU hadst Riches? |
A23696 | THOU hast lost thy Goods: May I not rather say, Thou hast restor''d''em? |
A23696 | THOU lately possessed''st great Riches: But rather say, Thou wert possess''d by them? |
A23696 | THOU shrink''st at the thoughts of Death: Is it not for over- valuing Life, and making Earth thy home? |
A23696 | THY Banishment deprives thee of the Comfort of thy Companions: Would not a voluntary Travel do as much? |
A23696 | THY Son is dead: What marvel is it, that a Mortal Father hath begot a Mortal Son? |
A23696 | THY Wealth is gone: But if thou hast Necessaries left? |
A23696 | Tell me thou nice Patient, if thou canst not suffer these Stripes, how thou wilt endure those that are infinitely sharper? |

A23696 | That have endeavour''d to subvert the Government, extirpate that Religion Establish''t amongst us; and to set up a piece of Pageantry of their own? |
A23696 | That the Bunch of the Camel is taken off, if yet thou wilt pass through the Eye of the Needle? |
A23696 | The Corinthians offended in their silent Connivance at the Incestuous Person: The Apostles Reproof produced their Sorrow: What was the Issue? |
A23696 | The Sun the Fountain of it, the Heavens the Glorious Region of it, and the Moon and Stars Illuminated by it? |
A23696 | The Vessel had sunk in this boist''rous Sea, if the Earthly Freight had not been cast over- board? |
A23696 | There shall not be an Old Man in thy House for ever? |
A23696 | This doubtless, thou sayst, is sure in it self, but how assured to me? |
A23696 | This is that Hunger and Thirst after Righteousness, to which Christ hath pronounc''d Blessedness? |

A23696 | Thou art in the same Circumstance with David: What should''st thou do, but for his Complaint, use his Remedy? |
A23696 | Thou hast to do with a God that heareth Prayers; Oh thou of little Faith, why fearest thou? |
A23696 | Thou hearest what others say; but do''st thou make a particular Search in thine own Bosom? |
A23696 | Thy Frame of Body should have prompted thee to other Thoughts: Dost thou perceive this living Fabrick made up as a Clock, consisting of many Wheels? |
A23696 | Thy dimness perceives nothing, but what is near thee: It is thy sense which thou followest, but where is thy Faith? |
A23696 | Thy sides are now freed from Thorns, why do''st thou repine at thine Ease? |
A23696 | To what end were our Christian Valour, if we had no Enemy to Encounter? |

A23696 | WHAT are Hell Gates, but the deep Plots of those Infernal Powers? |
A23696 | WHAT if that Wise God,( who brings Light out of Darkness) have purposed to dispense Honor and Happiness to his Church out of this sad Affliction? |
A23696 | WHAT should we do in this Vale of Tears, but condole each others Miseries? |
A23696 | WHEN thou hast said all; what is befa ● n thee more, than it pleased God to enjoyn the Father of the Faithful? |

A23696 | Were this Condition offer''d for Temporal Riches, who would be Poor? |
A23696 | Were you not, in Uniting, put in mind of Dissolution? |

A45113 | but to bee driven to forsake Parents, kinsfolke, friends, how sad a case must it needs bee? |
A45113 | but when we think of an happie restitution of all things in this day; how can we but rejoyce in trembling? |
A45113 | canst thou lay thy self before him as a miserable object of his grace and mercy? |
A45113 | canst thou throw thy self into the arms of his mercy? |
A45113 | canst thou trust him with thy soul, and repose thy self upon him for forgivenesse and salvation? |
A45113 | dost thou not complain of it as thy greatest misery? |
A45113 | hast no ▪ thou cast in thy symbole into the common shot? |
A45113 | hast thou doubled thine humiliation for the reduplication of thine offence? |
A45113 | hast thou found thy soul wrought to so much greater detestation of thy sin, as thine acquain ● tance with it hath been more? |
A45113 | hast thou not shrunk inward, and secretly thought, How shall I decline this dreadful damnation? |
A45113 | hast thou sought God so much the more instantly with an unfained contrition of heart? |
A45113 | hast thou taken this occasion to lay better hold on thy Saviour, and to reinforce the vows of thy more careful and strict obedience? |
A45113 | have not I the Lord? |
A45113 | have not thy sins helped to make up this irritating heap? |
A45113 | have we not seen many a good bough split with the weight of too much fruit? |
A45113 | how can the soule( which makes the body sensible) choose, but be most affected with that pain, whereof it gives sense to the body? |
A45113 | how canst thou then be sorry that thou hast sinned, and not be sorry that thou hast offended? |
A45113 | how is thy minde affected? |
A45113 | how suddenly is this clear skie over- clouded, and spread over with a sad darkness, and I return to my former heartlesness? |
A45113 | how unworthy art thou of health, if thou wilt no trust the fidelity and skill of the Artist in mixing so wholsome a Cordial? |
A45113 | knowest thou not that there was a Pre- contract betwixt thy Saviour, and her soul, ere thou couldst lay any claim to her body? |
A45113 | or i ● it not rather, Thou hast sinned? |
A45113 | or is my fl ● sh as brass? |
A45113 | or of Daniel, if there had been no Lions to accompany him? |
A45113 | or that the wires of that engine should so long have held pace with time? |
A45113 | that carries nothing but destruction both in his name and nature? |
A45113 | that goes about continually like a roaring Lion, seeking whom hee may devoure? |
A45113 | that loves thy Vertue, and thee for it, devested of all by- respects? |
A45113 | that neighbours should be like the reed and the brake set neare together, whereof the one starves the other? |
A45113 | thy memory stronger, thy phantasie more active, thy understanding more apprehensive? |
A45113 | till seven times? |
A45113 | what aches of the bones, what belking of the Joynts, what Convulsions of Sinews, what torments of the Bowels, Stone, Collick, Strangury? |
A45113 | what distillations of Rheums, what hollow Coughs, what weaknesses of retention, expulsion, digestion, what decay of Senses? |
A45113 | what is all the world to us without these comforts? |
A45113 | what the Sun the fountain of it, what the heavens, the glorious region of it, and what the Moon and Starres illuminated by it? |
A45113 | when thou art going to a light more glorious then this thou leavest, then the Sun is more weak then a Rush- Candle? |
A45113 | wherefore are thy so sad bemoanings, and vehement deprecations? |
A45113 | wherein, if the world be dissolved, who can bear up? |
A45113 | whiles we profess to have moreover the advantage of Faith to uphold and chear us? |
A45113 | who can hope to be free from being transported with irregular affections, when wee see such great precedents of frailty before our eyes? |
A45113 | why dost thou cry out of the foulness, not onely of the peril, of thy sin? |
A45113 | why should we finde that so tedious to us, which others have wished? |
A45113 | why would thy heart challenge thee for unkindness in offending? |
A45113 | wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel? |
A45113 | with what silent anxiety dost thou watch by his couch? |
A45113 | worse both in body and soule: and by which never any soul was better: Have wee not seen many good corn fields marred with ranknesse? |
A45113 | yea, what clearing of your selves; yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge? |
A26921 | & is not that Life good, which attaineth its End? |
A26921 | ( And is that World then more worthy of any love than Heaven?) |
A26921 | 16. and after with Cursing and Swearing denied him: And all his Disciples forsook him and fled: And what then from others could be expected? |
A26921 | 3, 4,& c. Indeed he Elected thee also to bear the Cross, and to manifold sufferings here: But is it that which thou preferrest before the Crown? |
A26921 | 75. and shall not I trust thee then to save me? |
A26921 | 8, 9. was he unlearned and imperfect before? |
A26921 | 8. and conclude, What shall separate us from the Love of God? |
A26921 | A multitude of thy Friends have loved thee so entirely, that thou canst not doubt of it? |
A26921 | Alas, how many Hours of my precious time, have been spent to maintain it, please it, or repair it? |
A26921 | Alas, my Soul, thou feelest thy defect, and knowest the hinderance, but what hope is there of remedy? |
A26921 | Am I at the highest 〈 ◊ 〉 Man on Earth can reach? |
A26921 | Am I capable of pleasing God no better, than by such a sinful life as this? |
A26921 | Analogically, as it tendeth to the Perfection of the Universe and the Church? |
A26921 | And God maketh all Natures suitable to their proper ends and use: How can it be that a Spirit should not incline to be with Spirits? |
A26921 | And I shall know how God''s Spirit operateth on Souls: And how it is sent from Christ''s humane Nature to work on Man? |
A26921 | And O how great was the mercy which he shewed me, in a teachable tractable, peaceable, humble, unanimous People? |
A26921 | And O how many a danger, fear and pain hath he delivered this frail and languishing Body from? |
A26921 | And Souls that have the Divine Nature in holy Love, desire to be with the God of Love? |
A26921 | And after such a life of Love, shall I doubt whether the same God do love me? |
A26921 | And are not all Creatures so? |
A26921 | And are there none in the other World? |
A26921 | And art thou loth that they should have an end? |
A26921 | And as Christ, when the Jews said he did all by Beelzebub, when he cast out devils, askt them[ By whom do your Children cast them out?] |
A26921 | And can a Soul miscarry and be deceived, that departeth hence in a hope of God''s own causing and encouraging? |
A26921 | And can not I trust God and my Redeemer, without all this care, and fear, and trouble, and all these particular enquiries? |
A26921 | And couldst thou not shew it me in a moment? |
A26921 | And did any of them signifie their love with the convincing evidence that God hath done? |
A26921 | And do we not willingly interrupt and lay by these Pleasures, every Night when we betake our selves to sleep? |
A26921 | And do you not know the next and better Habitation? |
A26921 | And dost thou doubt, canst thou doubt, O my Soul, whether thou art going to a God that loveth thee? |
A26921 | And doth God cause Saints to grow up unto ripeness, only to perish and drop down unto useless rottenness? |
A26921 | And doth he not love me in my Age, and Pain, and Sickness; Did he love all the Faithful better in their life than at their Death? |
A26921 | And doth not God make a greater difference than Man? |
A26921 | And doth not death creep on thee by a gradual dissolution? |
A26921 | And former Mercies should not be forgotten: And should not such men patiently endure? |
A26921 | And hath God ever shewed himself either unfaithful or unmerciful to me? |
A26921 | And hath this troublesome Flesh been so comfortable a companion to thee, that thou shouldst be so loth to leave it? |
A26921 | And have I not reason to believe it? |
A26921 | And have not all Saints that Title in their degrees? |
A26921 | And hear not the loudest Calls of God? |
A26921 | And how a Soul acting or habited differeth from itself not acting or habited? |
A26921 | And how are they separated but by mutual love, and our forsaking all that alienateth or is contrary? |
A26921 | And how differ they from the Resurrection state? |
A26921 | And how easy and sweet then will all my obedience be, when I shall perfectly will it, without any reluctancy or aversness? |
A26921 | And how forms are multiplied? |
A26921 | And how great a number i ● there to trouble you? |
A26921 | And how great is the number of them that expect unrighteous things? |
A26921 | And how hardly known by those that need them? |
A26921 | And how his production by Emanation or Creation, doth consist with Generation? |
A26921 | And how is Christ offered to us but as a Saviour to bring us by Grace to Glory? |
A26921 | And how little doth the knowledge of Learned Doctors differ from the thoughts of a silly Child? |
A26921 | And how many Thousand painful weary Nights have had a comfortable Morning? |
A26921 | And how many hours of comfort have I there had? |
A26921 | And how much in eating, drinking, dressing, physick? |
A26921 | And how much in labouring or using means to procure these and other necessaries? |
A26921 | And how much infirmity and painfulness to my Flesh, increase of painful Diseases, and loss of Bodily ease and health? |
A26921 | And if God had wicked and tormented parts on Earth, why may he not have such, and I be one of them hereafter? |
A26921 | And if God will so try me, why should I repine? |
A26921 | And if Heaven dwell in my Heart, shall I not desire to dwell in Heaven? |
A26921 | And if I be a holy and happy part of God, or of an universal Soul on Earth, why may not I hope to be such hereafter? |
A26921 | And if Societies on Earth, more holy and wise than others, though imperfectly, are very amiable, what then will the heavenly Society be? |
A26921 | And if animated, what becomes of the anima seminis perditi? |
A26921 | And if bad Souls can do it, why not good ones when God will have it? |
A26921 | And if created Love be so necessary, so active, so communicative, how much more will the infinite Love of the Creator be? |
A26921 | And if other mens Words and Writings are ble mished with so much imperfection, why should think that my own are blameless? |
A26921 | And if this could be proved, what would it tend to the unbelievers ends, or to the disadvantage of our hopes and comforts? |
A26921 | And is it Heaven that cost so dear a price for me, and is the End of so wonderful a design of Grace, and shall I be unwilling now to receive the gift? |
A26921 | And is it not Mercy from God to make me weary of it? |
A26921 | And is it not better in the Hand of my Redeemer, and of the God of Love, and Father of Spirits? |
A26921 | And is not a Day with them better than a Thousand here? |
A26921 | And is not all good and amiable better than a little good with so troublesome a mixture of noisome Evils? |
A26921 | And is not my passage secured by the Love of my Father, and the Resurrection and Intercession of my Lord? |
A26921 | And is not that a more holy and glorious place and state, than this below? |
A26921 | And is not the rest that turneth into Blood and Flesh, of the same general kind with that which is turned into loathsom filth? |
A26921 | And is not their sensual pleasure of the same Nature as ours? |
A26921 | And is not this according to thy Word and Will? |
A26921 | And is not this much of the end of life? |
A26921 | And is not this to be partly a God to my self? |
A26921 | And is the Joy of Angels and the heavenly Host as nothing to me? |
A26921 | And is this a dwelling fit for thy delight? |
A26921 | And is this renouncing the World, and trusting Christ for Life everlasting? |
A26921 | And is this tumultuous, militant, yea, malignant World, a place that I should be loth to leave? |
A26921 | And it is my certain duty to seek Heaven with all the fervour of my Soul, and diligence of my life: And is it not Best to find it? |
A26921 | And may I not trust him to save me who hath already saved Millions in this way? |
A26921 | And more familiarly with my old Acquaintance, Pupils, and dear Friends? |
A26921 | And now Lord, what wait I for? |
A26921 | And now should a Man be loth to die, for fears of leaving such troublesome costly Learning and Knowledge, as the wisest men can here attain? |
A26921 | And now, O my Soul, consider how mercifully God hath dealt with thee, that thy streight should be between two conditions so desirable? |
A26921 | And of all things surely a departing Soul hath least cause to fear, the losing of its notice of the Affairs of the World? |
A26921 | And of greater Patience than m ● ● r Nature gave thee? |
A26921 | And shall I be towards my self, so much of Satans mind: He would not have me come to Heaven: And shall I also be unwilling? |
A26921 | And shall I know less of Earth from Heaven than I do now? |
A26921 | And shall I not follow him through Death, and trust such a Guide and Captain of my Salvation? |
A26921 | And shall I now distrust him at the last? |
A26921 | And shall I think with cold or little Love, of such a God, and such a Saviour? |
A26921 | And shall I yet doubt of the Celestial Society and Glory? |
A26921 | And shall Peter say more confidently,[ Thou knowest that I love thee] than[ I know that thou lovest me?] |
A26921 | And shall a worldly backward Heart overcome the teachings of Nature, Scripture, the Spirit of Grace, and all Experience? |
A26921 | And shall accidental love make me desire the company of a frail and mutable Friend? |
A26921 | And shall my foolish Soul thus wildly fly from the Face of God? |
A26921 | And shall not the Thoughts of the heavenly Mansions, Society and Delights, much more allure and draw up my desires? |
A26921 | And shall not the love of such a Father be trusted, and the presence and pleasing of such a Father be desired? |
A26921 | And shall not this ingrafted inseparable love, make me long to be with Christ? |
A26921 | And shall we now let the Tempter shake it or discourage it? |
A26921 | And shall we unman our selves? |
A26921 | And should I not think of it more pleasedly because my God and Father, my Saviour, and my Comforter is there? |
A26921 | And should not my suffering be God''s School; should I not learn obedience by it? |
A26921 | And that ruled me by so Holy and Just a Law? |
A26921 | And then were I forsaken of the sober and peaceable, as I am in part of some quarrelsom Dividers, how tolerable a tryal would it be? |
A26921 | And therefore what wonder if in Apoplexies,& c. such Operations are intercepted? |
A26921 | And though I am naturally loth to be absent from the Body, let me be by his Spirit more unwilling to be absent from the Lord? |
A26921 | And to hear the Sentence of my departure to my God? |
A26921 | And what Causality the Parents Soul hath to the production of the Childs? |
A26921 | And what a benefactor would the Sun be to the World? |
A26921 | And what a torment must it be to a considering mind, to be uncertain what to Intend and Do in all the tenour and actions of his life? |
A26921 | And what am I better than my fore- Fathers? |
A26921 | And what each Object is to the Constitution or production of the act? |
A26921 | And what good is it but that which seemeth good for the Body? |
A26921 | And what have I that I have not received? |
A26921 | And what if its profound Vitality, Self perception, and Self- love be by a kind of Sensation and Intuition, rather than by Discursive Reason? |
A26921 | And what maketh the Society of Saints so sweet as holy Love? |
A26921 | And what reason have I now to be unwilling either to live or die? |
A26921 | And what should I do with a Horse when I shall need to ride or travel no more, or with a Pen when I must write no more? |
A26921 | And what the Causa finalis doth to it? |
A26921 | And what they promised and vowed to do? |
A26921 | And what though Bruits have Sense and Affection, doth it follow therefore that we have none now? |
A26921 | And what though God give not to all men an overcoming measure, nor to the best so much as they desire? |
A26921 | And what though I know not now fully what service it is that I must do? |
A26921 | And what though it must be so? |
A26921 | And what we know not, Christ, that prepareth and promiseth it, doth know: And is that nothing to us, if really we Trust our Souls to him? |
A26921 | And what wonder if it Operate no further than Objects are admitted? |
A26921 | And what would I not suffer for such a fight? |
A26921 | And when God will call me to a more glorious Vision, and Fruition in Heaven, shall I draw back and be unwilling to go? |
A26921 | And when this Learning is got, how uncertain are we whether the words have no ambiguity? |
A26921 | And whence should all this be in man and not in Beasts, if man had no further reason of hopes and fears then they? |
A26921 | And whether separated from the Body, they operate in and by any other Vehicle, or without, and how? |
A26921 | And whether the Body be animated as Vegetative or Sensitive before the entrance of the rational Soul? |
A26921 | And whither should I look for Rest but home to my heavenly Father and to Thee? |
A26921 | And who is fittest to do it? |
A26921 | And who knows what Perfect Sight, Knowledg, Love, and Joy are, but by perfect Seeing, Knowing, Loving, and Rejoicing? |
A26921 | And who will let go his present welfare, without some hope of better as a reward? |
A26921 | And whom should we hear so willingly, so obediently as Christ? |
A26921 | And why doth my Soul imprisoned in Flesh no more desire it? |
A26921 | And why fear we that which endeth all our pains and fears? |
A26921 | And why may I not accordingly put my self as into the case of them, who saw all Christ''s Miracles and saw him risen and ascend towards Heaven? |
A26921 | And why not hereafter as well as now? |
A26921 | And why should I strive by the fears of Death, against the common course of Nature, and against my only hopes of Happiness? |
A26921 | And why then should they think whither soever Souls go, that they cease their individuation) When they go among individuals? |
A26921 | And will Christ love me better than I love my Body? |
A26921 | And will he forsake the Habitation which his love hath chosen? |
A26921 | And will he not shew it? |
A26921 | And will it be a comfort to a man in such torment to tell him, that he is God? |
A26921 | And will it not be better with Christ than here? |
A26921 | And will it not entertain my separated Soul? |
A26921 | And will not his will and choice be best? |
A26921 | And wilt thou forsake a sinner in his extremity, who consenteth to thy Covenant, and would not forsake thee? |
A26921 | And wilt thou not willingly go, when infinite fatherly Love doth call thee? |
A26921 | And would I not have my Prayers heard, and my desires granted? |
A26921 | And would I now undo all, or Cross and frustrate all his Operations? |
A26921 | And would mens Thoughts of the Churches needs detain them? |
A26921 | And would thou not see the Sun? |
A26921 | And wouldst thou not see it, where it shineth forth in fullest Glory? |
A26921 | And yet, alas, how cold are our desires to the time and place where we shall have much more? |
A26921 | And, alas, how ordinarily doth some carnal a ● fection corrupt the appetite of the Soul? |
A26921 | Are such as these meet for his work, his Love, his Acceptance, or his Kingdom? |
A26921 | Are the Stars which I see less substantial than a Carkass in a darksom Grave? |
A26921 | Are we vile dirty Sinners in Flesh now fit for heavenly sights or joys? |
A26921 | Art thou a Lover of Holiness, and of Love itself, and wouldst thou not be united to the Holy who are made of Love? |
A26921 | Art thou a Lover of Wisdom, and wouldst thou not be united to the Wise? |
A26921 | Art thou a hater of enmity, discord and divisions, and a Lover of Unity here on Earth, and wouldst thou not be where all the just are One? |
A26921 | Art thou afraid to go to him who is the only cure of thy fears? |
A26921 | Art thou not desirous of his presence? |
A26921 | As I said before, what a penury, and yet redundancy of words have we? |
A26921 | As if itself, and all the Creatures, and God were nothing, or no fit Objects for a Soul? |
A26921 | As this World hath used thee, it would use thee still, and it will use others? |
A26921 | At how cheap a rate to my Flesh could I have got the Applause of factious men, if that had been my end and business? |
A26921 | Away, away, the vindictive Flames are ready to consume this sinful World? |
A26921 | Aweary of exciting Divine Love, and exercising it in Divine Praise, which are the works of Angels, and all the heavenly Host? |
A26921 | Aweary of speaking to my heavenly Father, for endless Blessedness, upon such joyful terms of Hope as he hath given me? |
A26921 | Aweary of the Thoughts of the City of God, the heavenly Society and Work? |
A26921 | Be not so unthankful, O my Soul, as to question doubtingly whether thy heavenly Father, and thy Lord doth love thee? |
A26921 | Be not then foolishly distrustful and inquisitive? |
A26921 | Bruits have Life: And must we therefore have no Life hereafter, because it is a thing that''s common ● oBruits? |
A26921 | But alas, how deaf is Flesh to Reason? |
A26921 | But are they in Heaven such visible and shaped Bodies as they appeared on the Mount? |
A26921 | But are they not a cause that Mercy can forgive? |
A26921 | But are we not always so? |
A26921 | But can not God cause as a Creator, by making that which is not himself? |
A26921 | But doth not this laying so much on Tradition favour Popery? |
A26921 | But hast thou not mercy also to give me, even that Fitness, and that Faith? |
A26921 | But how are we sure that these three men tell us nothing but the Truth? |
A26921 | But how are we sure who our selves never saw the Person, Miracles, Resurrection, Ascension of Christ, that the History of them is true? |
A26921 | But how came Moses to have a Body on the Mount, who is said to have been buried, and therefore took none with him into Heaven? |
A26921 | But how did Peter know Moses and Elias, whom he had never seen before? |
A26921 | But how is it that Christ is said, to learn obedience by the things that he suffered, and so to be made perfect? |
A26921 | But how then cometh my Soul to be yet so low, so dark, so fond of this wretched Flesh and World, and so backward to go home, and dwell with Christ? |
A26921 | But if the Soul existed not till its incorporation, what wonder if it Operate but ut forma, when it is united to the Body for that use? |
A26921 | But is such Patience a better and sweeter life, than rest and joy? |
A26921 | But it is not incongruous to say, What would I not do? |
A26921 | But this would equalize the Good and Bad, or at least those that were good in several degrees; And where then were the Reward and Punishment? |
A26921 | But was there any doubt to be made between Christ''s interest and his own? |
A26921 | But what is there so desirable in this Life? |
A26921 | But what was it that they talkt about? |
A26921 | But what was the Introduction to this Apparition and Transfiguration? |
A26921 | But who can see cause to dream of such a partition, never threatened by God? |
A26921 | But why depart we from things certain, by such presumptions as these? |
A26921 | But with how many allays are such comforts here mixed? |
A26921 | But, O my Soul, what need''st thou be troubled in this kind of streight? |
A26921 | But, Why did Christ shew this Vision but it Three of his Disciples? |
A26921 | But, Why did not these Three Apostles tell any of this Vision till after Christ''s Resurrection? |
A26921 | But, alas, what power hath selfishness in most? |
A26921 | Can Faith live in the Dark? |
A26921 | Can I see the Light of heavenly Glory, in this darksome shell and womb of Flesh? |
A26921 | Can not we lie in Bed without Boots and Spurs? |
A26921 | Can not we sit at home without a Horse or Coach? |
A26921 | Can the Plants for Life, or the Eye for Light, go up unto the Sun? |
A26921 | Canst thou forget the sealed Testimonies of it? |
A26921 | Changed by Custom, or Arbitrary design? |
A26921 | Conscience hath replied, that This is my infirmity? |
A26921 | Could they forget all this? |
A26921 | Did Christ tell them of it, as not knowing it before? |
A26921 | Did God love none from the beginning of the World, but Henoch and Elias? |
A26921 | Did I not even now repeat so many as should shame thy doubts? |
A26921 | Did he live and die to make me Rich or advanced in the World? |
A26921 | Did he love me in my youth and health? |
A26921 | Did he need their comfort, as Angels in his trials ministred to him and strengthned him? |
A26921 | Did they hear what they said, or did Christ after tell them? |
A26921 | Didst thou not find a need of patience to undergo them? |
A26921 | Do not my fellow Creatures die for my daily Food? |
A26921 | Do we not know what Knowledge is? |
A26921 | Dost thou not judge thy self unworthy of Eternal Life, when thou no more desirest to enjoy it? |
A26921 | Doth God in great Mercy make pain and feebleness the Harbingers of Death, and wilt thou not understand their business? |
A26921 | Doth God or I know better what he hath yet to do? |
A26921 | Doth he want either Shill, or Will, or Power? |
A26921 | Doth not the Spirit of Adoption incline us to love our Fathers presence, and to be loth to be long from home? |
A26921 | Doth the Soul cease its increase in vigorous Perception, when the Body ceaseth its increase or vigor of sensation? |
A26921 | Doubtless it will be a living, perceiving, sensible Recipient, of the felicitating Love of God and my Redeemer? |
A26921 | Even of thy sinful Neighbours, who in the midst of Light still live in darkness? |
A26921 | For if the Soul cease to be, it can not pass into another Body, nor can it re- enter into this? |
A26921 | For one that will indeed comfort you? |

A26921 | Should I fear to go to LOVE itself? |
A26921 | Should I not love a Lovely and a Loving World much better than a World where there is comparatively 〈 ◊ 〉 little Loveliness or Love? |

A26921 | and that when I am so dark and low? |
A26921 | and whether they take with them any of the fiery Nature as a Vehicle or as a constitutive part? |
