A60344I ask you again, have you not done it?
A60344I grant, they are not worthy God''s regarding; but are they not worthy your own?
A60344I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; and what dost thou now please thy self with?
A60344I have known and heard of some that would go chiding and scolding to their Prayer, in a chafe and fret; but are they like to be welcome?
A60344I will behave my self wisely in a perfect way, I will walk within my House with a perfect Heart; do you the same?
A60344If I had done so, saith he, what shall I do when God riseth up, and what shall I answer when he visiteth?
A60344If thou canst, why dost not go to it?
A60344If ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil?
A60344If ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your Children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
A60344If you are guilty of neglect herein what satisfactory Reason can you give of being so?
A60344In short, would you stem the Tide of Profaneness which breaks in upon us with fury?
A60344Indeed, who did ever gather Grapes of Thorns?
A60344Is it not evil?
A60344Is so late at Night the best time you can pick out to bestow upon God?
A60344Is this being as good as your word?
A60344Is this enough for depending Creatures who can not live a day without God, no, not a moment?
A60344Is this living up to the Law, and doing the duty of that Relation?
A60344Is this of thy Whoredoms a small matter that thou hast slain my Children, and delivered them to cause them to pass thorough the fire for them?
A60344Is this paying due homage to the Lord of your time and comforts?
A60344Is this the way to keep them from the path of the Destroyer, and to bring them up for God?
A60344Is this thy Love to her that lies in thy bosom?
A60344Is this to be a Comfort to her as you ought to be?
A60344Is this to continue instant in Prayer?
A60344Is this to pray without ceasing?
A60344Is this your love and kindness to her, in whose Company and Converse you ought to delight above all others except Gods?
A60344It hath been thus in other Houses, why is it not so in yours?
A60344Lord, to whom shall we go?
A60344May Servants contend with their Masters and Mistresses?
A60344May they not spend it much better at home, and about something else?
A60344May you not be more useful, and do much more good at Home, than you are capable of doing in one of those Publick Houses?
A60344Meat, and Drink, and Cloaths, and Lodging, Mony, and Wages?
A60344More taking up of the Bible and other good Books to Read?
A60344Not you who have curam animarum, the care and charge of Souls lying upon you; not you, to whose oversight they are committed?
A60344Now I appeal to you, is this a good Praying- time?
A60344Now I will appeal to you in the case, who are Heads of Houses, and ask this one Question, What better way can you take?
A60344Now observe what our Savior did hereupon expect and say, Father glorifie th ● u me with thy own self: Here hath been my work, where now is my glory?
A60344Now then, ought you not to repair this damage to your utmost?
A60344Now, my Friends, will you be careful in this matter?
A60344O Man, canst thou converse in the World, and discourse with thine Acquaintance, manage thine Affairs, and carry on thy Trade, and yet not Pray?
A60344Obedience to Precepts is followed with the performance of promises: but what was it that God had spoken of him?
A60344Oh where shall we meet?
A60344One Question I would ask you, and have you to ask your selves, that is this, What are you?
A60344Our Saviour said to his Hearers, what do ye more than others?
A60344Preach the Word, be instant in Season and out of Season; art thou a Child, a Servant?
A60344Secondly, Cast your eye upon the present State of London, and of England, have not our iniquities brought us low?
A60344Secondly, Let us consider you as the Heads& Governours of Families; are not your Families the worse for you?
A60344Secondly; Do you know the Souls of your Children and Servants are as precious as yours?
A60344Secondly; I would speak unto you by way of Question, thus; When you spend all your time in hearing abroad, what is done at home?
A60344Secondly; To that thought add another, While I am here doth not my Family want me?
A60344Seeing all these things shall be dissolved, all what things?
A60344Shall not Vncircumcision which is by Nature if it fulfil the Law, Iudge thee who by the Letter and Circumcision dost transgress the Law?
A60344Shall they be more liberal to their Gods of Dung, than we are to the Lord of Glory?
A60344Speak out, to them, speak plain, do they not spend too much time there?
A60344Take it in the same Apostles words, What manner of Persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?
A60344The Countrey- man will look to his Corn and Cattel that he may not lose them, and is there not reason for as great care here, and greater too?
A60344The Lord said, shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?
A60344The Lord teach you to pray, and assist you by his Holy Spirit?
A60344The former is that of good Nehemiah: What made him so excellent a Governour, and so tender over the people, studying their ease and comfort?
A60344The same Persons will fall into a scolding fit again as soon as the Prayer is over; what think you, doth this speak Grace in their Hearts?
A60344Thirdly; Suppose the great and holy God should come to you at such a time, and in such a place, would you not be startled at it, and afraid of him?
A60344Thirdly; Would it not be a trouble to you if those that are yours should prove wicked?
A60344This shall be a continual Burnt- Offering, this, what?
A60344Thou O Man, being under such a distemper, wouldest not go to thy King, how then darest thou go to thy God?
A60344Thou and thy Family have a great number of great wants, and canst thou not ask a supply when it may be had for asking?
A60344Thou art worthy of death, and so are they, Sentence hath been already past, and hast thou not any thing to say for the staying of the Execution?
A60344Thou wouldest have them to mind thy Shop, and wilt not thou mind their Souls?
A60344Thus it should be with you and all the Children of God, with reference to duty: you have been Praying, but what answer is there, what return?
A60344Thy Soul, Man, is ready to starve, and so are the Souls of thy Family, all in extream necessity, and canst thou not beg?
A60344To be sure they must provide things necessary, if it be in their power, but necessary for what?
A60344To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts; and when God saith, to day, what art thou that thou shouldst say, to morrow?
A60344Truly that is excellent Husbandry, very good for Men to be before hand; will you study this really?
A60344Well, Paul, thou art now ready to be gone, but what didst thou do while thou wast here?
A60344Wert thou not what thou art, God, and not Man, and were not thy Goodness, thy Patience like thy Self Infinite?
A60344What Conquests and Victories over Passions?
A60344What Patience and contetnment under Crosses, Losses, Afflictions, Provocations?
A60344What a Spirit of Atheism hath possess''d Men?
A60344What a comfort is it to Prarents to have such Children as are their Comfolts, their Joy and Crown?
A60344What a strange Climax or Gradation is here?
A60344What amendment is there, and Reformation of things amiss?
A60344What an Honour will it be to sit upon Christ''s Throne?
A60344What becomes of your own Vineyard, which you are bound to keep?
A60344What can you do more toward it?
A60344What do you do?
A60344What iniquity have your Fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have followed after vanity, and are become vain?
A60344What is Man that thou art mindful of him, or the Son of Man that thou visitest him?
A60344What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the Son of Man that thou visitest him?
A60344What is there within the compass of your Power that hath a fairer, a more promising aspect and tendency to this great& noble End?
A60344What manner of persons then should you be in all holy conversation, in all the actions of your Lives?
A60344What more attentiveness to wholesom Instructions, and Counsels?
A60344What more dutifulness and respect to you in reward?
A60344What passions are there in them, and how unruly and exorbitant, by which all is put into a flame?
A60344What therefore are we to understand by this their contending?
A60344What though thou dost not Pray so as to raise the admiration, and gain the applause of them that hear thee?
A60344What token of Love from above, what increase of goodness below?
A60344What would not such poor Creatures give?
A60344What, do you enquire?
A60344What?
A60344Whatsoever is Duty ought to be done, and if it ought to be done, why not presently?
A60344Where are Family- duties?
A60344Where are your Mercies?
A60344Where is Abel thy Brother?
A60344Where the yearning and the soundings of them?
A60344Where your Bowels?
A60344Who among you will give ear to this, who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
A60344Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
A60344Who can understand his Errours?
A60344Who knows what is in the Womb of Providence, or what may be the product of a day?
A60344Why should he make your Families prosperous ▪ if notwithstanding all that is or can be said, you will not make them religious?
A60344Why should you walk safely when you will not walk uprightly and in your integrity?
A60344Why then will you not return him some of your own?
A60344Will it not be a bitter reflexion to you at the last, when the matter is out of your hands, and past remedy?
A60344Will it not go to your very Hearts?
A60344Will it not grieve you?
A60344Will not you do what in you lies to prevent their everlasting ruin and destruction?
A60344Will not you do what you can to spoil the Devils design, and to secure these precious Souls from the Snare of the Devil, or deliver them out of it?
A60344Will the Hypocrite delight himself in the Almighty?
A60344Will ye go away?
A60344Will you do this, you that are Governours of Families?
A60344Will you forfeit that Name?
A60344Will you lose your Credit in Heaven, yea, and among good Men upon Earth that know you?
A60344Will you not pity these precious Souls?
A60344Will you not seek their good?
A60344Will you not teach them the fear of God, and Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ?
A60344Will you stand by and see them drown without reaching forth an helping Hand?
A60344Will you take care to make them good Shopkeepers, and not to make them good Christians?
A60344Will you therefore endeavour it?
A60344Would you be able to give a good account of your selves in the Day when God shall come to Reckon with you?
A60344Would you be instrumental for the preserving of a Seed to serve the Lord?
A60344Would you not be willing to have your Family go to God in glory?
A60344Would you save the Life of Practical Religion which is brought very low, and in a deep Consumption?
A60344You have let down your bucket into the Well of Salvation, have you drawn Water with joy?
A60344Your Gifts are bestow''d upon you in order to his Honour, but what Honour hath he from them when conceal''d?
A60344Your Trades?
A60344a careful Husband that minds his business and provides well?
A60344a prudent Wife that orders well?
A60344and are you so exemplary when you play at Cards, as it becomes and concerns you to be?
A60344and by consequence how great is the number of them who live in the great, if not total neglect of this excellent work?
A60344and hast thou not done it yet?
A60344and have you not read such passages as these in the Scriptures?
A60344and if I be a Master, where is my fear?
A60344and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil?
A60344and whether your Families are the better; do you see less vanity in your young Ones, and more solidity and seriousness than there was before?
A60344and will you not shew them by counsel and practice those things that will please him?
A60344and would you indeed know?
A60344and, if thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A60344are not these things as good as the other?
A60344are these all the things that are necessary and convenient for them?
A60344are these thy bowels to thy Children which came out of thy Loins?
A60344are they not better?
A60344couldst thou find no other place to pitch thy Tent in?
A60344dare you?
A60344did none of thy Friends who lov''d thee, put thee upon it?
A60344did they pray their Hearts into Heaven?
A60344did thy Child never beg it of thee?
A60344didst thou take them to corrupt them?
A60344do not those that live and converse with you observe you?
A60344do you demean your selves with so much exactness, that nothing amiss is to be discerned in you?
A60344dost thou dwell with her as a Man of knowledge, or an Heir of the Grace of Life?
A60344doth any one here ask that Question?
A60344doth not his Providence frown dreadfully?
A60344for what can be more ridiculous, than to give Divine Honour to that which Man himself gave being to?
A60344hast thou a mind to bring them up for the destroyer, and to be fewel for everlasting burnings?
A60344hath he not in legible Characters written his high displeasure in those temporal Judgements that are among us?
A60344hath not God, think you, risen out of his place to punish the Inhabitants of London, and of England, for their iniquities?
A60344have not I the Lord?
A60344have so great work to do, and so much of it, yet know not how to pass away the time?
A60344have you shewn them many things by which they have offended God?
A60344how faint it is, what convulsions hath it, what struglings are there, even as for life, but who is it sick of?
A60344how inexorable art thou, how hard thy heart?
A60344how many Unclean Spirits may follow one that was admitted and found entertainment before?
A60344how many gracious Visits doth God bestow upon his poor People?
A60344how much good may you get, how much the better may you be, in case you be not wanting to your selves?
A60344how pleasant to see tender Plants bringing forth Fruit unto God?
A60344if they had any good thing in them toward the Lord God of Hosts, wouldst thou utterly quench it?
A60344inquire what you your selves are the better for it?
A60344is it not very well if thou canst so pray as to find acceptance with God?
A60344is this all that the Lord requires and expects at their hands?
A60344is this the supplying of all their need?
A60344might not Heathens and Pagans say, they are become like some of us, yea, and worse than many of us?
A60344no good thing, is thy duty out of season?
A60344only for the Body?
A60344or familiarly converse with with wicked Men, or lewd vain Women, and not be in danger of learning their manner?
A60344or was it through the neglect of those to whose care and tuition they were committed?
A60344or who hath made the dumb or deaf, or seeing, or the blind?
A60344please thee, and wilt thou not shew them how they may walk so as to please God?
A60344shall God now more magnifie his grace, and shall we grow poorer in our returns?
A60344shall he come to see us, and see to us, and shall not, we wait upon him?
A60344shall the dispensation now be more glorious, and shall we be more penurious that live under it?
A60344shall the strangeness be on our side?
A60344so he will say to thee, where is thy Wife, where thy Son, where thy Daughter, where is thy Man Servant, where thy Maid?
A60344so loath to come to thy duty?
A60344that the work may prosper in their hands; but in the mean time, have not you private Men had an hand in it?
A60344their Sacrifices were more costly and chargeable, and shall ours be fewer?
A60344they do often, too too often contend among themselves, one with another, more shame for them; but would Iob allow them to contend with himself?
A60344was it their own doing?
A60344was it through their own folly and madness, because they would not hearken to the Voice of their Teachers?
A60344what better?
A60344what is for your interest, and what against it?
A60344what is it but brutish selfishness?
A60344what more gross and egregious nonsence, than to call that a God, part of which is consumed in the fire?
A60344what reason is there for it?
A60344what though it be jarring in their ears, so long as it is musick in his?
A60344what will he get by it?
A60344what would they not do to be delivered from the frights it puts them in, and the pain it causeth?
A60344who can sum up his Sorrows?
A60344who do nothing towards their instruction and sanctification, nothing towards the making of them understanding, gracious, and holy?
A60344who is it that prays there?
A60344who teaches and catechizes the young ones there?
A60344will he always call upon God?
A60344will you consider, what Natures all brought into the World with them, how Sin dwells in you and yours?
A68107& c.) For what can be expected ● m such polluted copulation, but a leprous and loathsome generation?
A68107( as they must needs: for how can such a thing be done in the house and they of the house know it not?)
A68107( saith he) what hast thou found of all my houshold- stuffe?
A68107* Fearefull haue beene the effects of this Diabolicall doctrine: as fornication, adulterie, incest, Sodomie, buggerie, and what not?
A68107* What if an husband be an enemie of Christ?
A681071. Who are to be accounted able?
A68107A wife may be a very lewd and wicked woman: how then can she be accounted the best wife?
A68107Absolom bid his seruants commit a most detestable murder vpon his owne brother, and note how he presseth it, Haue not I commanded you?
A68107Againe he saith, who can adde one cubit to his stature?
A68107Ais?
A68107And Iob, when he said, e If I did despise the cause of my seruant, when God visiteth, what shall I answer him?
A68107And can it be otherwise in a politique body?
A68107And shall she not be content with her own act?
A68107And shall sober, meeke, humble, honest women thinke themselues taxed thereby?
A68107And shall such a power be taken away without consent of parent?
A68107And shall this be the ground of thine hatred?
A68107And what if all masters should so deale?
A68107And who should more manifest this property of loue then children?
A68107And why are Gods friends, such as are* loued of him, and loue him againe, depriued thereof?
A68107Are not both of them against the first institution of mariage, so as we may say, g from the beginning it was not so?
A68107Are not mothers that might haue nursed their owne children if they would, accessary to the death of those that are cast away by the nurses negligence?
A68107Are not then such mothers much more vnnaturall?
A68107Are not these excuses pretended by many mothers for not nursing children themselues?
A68107Are not these excuses pretended by other mothers?
A68107Are such as are barren to be ranked among those impotent persons?
A68107Are they not plaine deuils herein, opposing against that which is good?
A68107Are they who haue buried their husband or wife so free, as they may marie againe?
A68107Are we then vnited only to his humane nature?
A68107As for that particular of Uashtie, why is it so largely recorded in the Scripture but for instruction, and admonition vnto wiues?
A68107Besides, doth not this rend asunder two of Christs offices, and leauing one to Christ, giue another to the Pope, and so make him equall with Christ?
A68107Besides, to what purpose is it to command that which a seruant may and must refuse to doe?
A68107Besides, who knoweth not that the preseruation of families tendeth to the good of Church and common- wealth?
A68107But if a wiues right in her husbands goods be as the Churches in Christs bloud, what is gotten thereby?
A68107But if you be carelesse of your dutie, how can ye expect dutie at their hands?
A68107But of what, or of whom is that mysterie?
A68107But seeing they doe the one( namely beare and bring forth their owne children with hard labour) why should they not doe the other?
A68107But what followed thereupon?
A68107But what ground haue men for any such conceit?
A68107But what if Zipporahs example herein be not warrantable?
A68107But what may be said of those that are so hellishly enamoured with their children as to commit incest or buggery with them?
A68107But what may be thought of such as Ismael- like mocke and scoffe at those that labour to be cleansed?
A68107But what may we say or thinke of such impious parents as feare not to make fearefull imprecations against their children?
A68107But what shall we say of such as for rebuke and correction are the worse?
A68107But what shall we say of such gracelesse children, as dare strike their parents?
A68107But what was there in the Church to make her worthy of Christs loue?
A68107But who greater then Christ?
A68107But why would he know it?
A68107By the blessing of the breasts, what, but milke, whereby those children are nourished?
A68107By the blessing of the wombe, what can be meant, but children?
A68107Can Polygamy( the hauing of many wiues) or Bigamy( the hauing of two wiues at once) haue any good warrant against such an expresse law?
A68107Can any good then be looked for?
A68107Can it then stand?
A68107Can the fauour of those whom we haue pleased in this world, protect and shelter vs from the fury of Gods displeasure?
A68107Can the thought of death be terrible to such as know and beleeue the truth hereof?
A68107Can then any adde to his daies?
A68107Can we then thinke that worldlings, drunkards, profane, riotous, vncleane persons, and such like limbs of the Deuill, are members of Christ?
A68107Children marry for themselues and not for their parents, why then should parents consent be so much stood vpon?
A68107Christ saith, our haires are numbred, are not much more our daies?
A68107Christ their head being their Sauiour, who can doubt of their saluation?
A68107Could a fitter match haue beene found out for Rebekah then Isaak?
A68107Could there haue beene a greater, or any way a more excellent Author?
A68107Could they tell when Rebekah should haue a childe?
A68107Courage against death: seeing that in death we are Christs, what cause haue we to feare death?
A68107Cui hoc dicitur?
A68107Deserueth it not to be seuerely punished, and that openly, and publikely with shame and smart too, tht others may take warning thereby?
A68107Detrahe verbum& quid est aqua nisi aqua?
A68107Did Christ by any thing which he did on earth merit that glorie which he had before the world was?
A68107Did God at first take the wife out of mans side, that man should tread her vnder his feet?
A68107Did not he then sinne in restraining her, and was not she guiltlesse though she yeelded to his restraint?
A68107Doe masters therefore looke that their seruants should performe their duty?
A68107Doe not such peruert that maine end for which God made them, euen to be an helpe?
A68107Doe not the poore beare Gods image as well as the rich?
A68107Doe not these words of that old law( thy desire shall be to thy husband) imply as much?
A68107Doe not they iustly deserue vengeance that regard none of these?
A68107Doe they desire to be aboue the head?
A68107Doe they not herein c tempt God by putting a yoke vpon mens necks, which neither our fathers nor we are able to beare?
A68107Doe they not, as much as in them lieth, make the death of Christ to be in vaine, and peruert that maine end, which Christ aimed at in giuing himselfe?
A68107Doest thou therefore desire the fauour, or feare the frownes of thy master in heauen?
A68107Doest thou therefore, who art a master on earth, reioyce, or grieue the soule of thy seruant?
A68107Doth Gods word make any difference betwixt rich and poore?
A68107Doth he not hereby imply, that if Labans daughters had ● aken away any of their fathers goods, it had beene a trespasse ● nd sinne?
A68107Doth it say, Serue rich masters with feare and trembling?
A68107Doth not a man eat his meat willingly, with delight and cheerefulnesse?
A68107Doth not daily experience verifie the truth hereof?
A68107Doth not the Apostles* description of that man of sinne, the sonne of perdition, agree to him of whom those things are spoken?
A68107Doth this word( imperiall) intimate a quickning vertue?
A68107Doth this word( ministeriall) implie a gouerning power?
A68107Else why should this example be thus set before them, and pressed vpon them?
A68107Et tu duritiem animi, tuferitatem, tu crudelitatem ob vnionis reuerentiam non deponis?
A68107For I demand, why doth God commend vnto his Church any thing by his word, but that his Church should make conscience of vsing it?
A68107For The Lord God said, and to whom should he speake?
A68107For doe not the heathen so?
A68107For if any aske, what if masters stand in Christs stead, what maketh that to the purpose?
A68107For if parents look not to their children, who will?
A68107For preuention: left seruants might say, our masters are flesh and bloud as we are, why then should we be subiect to them?
A68107For to what end is authoritie ouer those who resist it, and rebell against it?
A68107For to what end is the lawfulnesse of authoritie acknowledged, if subiection be not yeelded vnto it?
A68107For what can they who behold it thinke, but that such children haue beene too much cockered and ill nurtered?
A68107For what glory is it if when ye be buffeted for your faults ye take it patiently?
A68107For what is it that prouoketh wrath, rage, and fury in gouernours?
A68107For when he was instructing his Spouse, and his mother came to interrupt him, he said to his mother, who is my mother?
A68107For where such meanes as are sanctified for obtaining a blessing on mariage are neglected, what blessing can thereupon be expected?
A68107For who are commonly chosen to be nurses?
