A30566Thirdly, The Burden of the Law is this; you may say; though it doth require perfect obedience; but wil it accept of no endeavours at al?
A30566This helps us about interest in comming to Christ, you wil say, come to Christ, but how shal I know that I have any right to come to Christ?
A30566This is the condition of al that are under the covenant of works; and is not this a load?
A30566To exercise faith upon Christ as poor, doth help to give ease and rest unto the soul, under the burden of the affliction of poverty?
A30566Upon their sick beds, and death beds, then men are burdened with Sin, and why?
A30566We hear Ministers speak of Morral men, such a one is a good Morral man, or such a one is a civil man, what would they have more?
A30566What a strange expression is this of a godly man?
A30566What an infinite grace of God is this?
A30566What did Christ say in the very verse before?
A30566What discoveries of Gods waies hast thou had, to draw thy heart to Christ?
A30566What do I know to the contrary?
A30566What do you account precious?
A30566What dost thou fear in regard of thy sins?
A30566What doth he mean by the Law of sin and death?
A30566What ease hath she, Why?
A30566What expressions are here for a godly man?
A30566What is Jesus Christ that doth cal you to come to him?
A30566What is it that unites thee to Christ?
A30566What is it to come and enter into our Chamber?
A30566What is the Reason that people hurry up and down in seeking after the things of this world?
A30566What is the happiness of heaven, but for the Saints and Angels to be exercised in magnifying the riches of God, and of Christ?
A30566What is the reason of this?
A30566What must the law stand in force then?
A30566What need then such a man or woman have any trouble in this world?
A30566What reference have I to God?
A30566What shal we say then?
A30566What should be the meaning of this?
A30566What was the Image that God made man in at the first?
A30566What were you able to answer?
A30566What wil disquiet one?
A30566Who are they that are in Christ and delivered from condemnation?
A30566Why can not I go to Christ?
A30566Why what restless Condition are we in, you might have said?
A30566Wilt thou seek thy rest in that which hangs upon nothing?
A30566Wilt thou yet go on in thy sins?
A30566Wilt thou yet prize thy lusts, before al that infinite good that is in Jesus Christ?
A30566Would not this burden the Soul?
A30566Would there not be a great deal of calme, quiet, and rest upon your spirits?
A30566Would they not have men civil?
A30566Would you have Mercy?
A30566Would you know whence?
A30566Would you know why, and how it comes to pass, that None that are out of Christ can have Rest unto their soules?
A30566Wretched Man and Woman that I am, who shal deliver me?
A30566Wretched Man that I am who shal deliver me from this Body of Death, Why?
A30566Wretched man, or Woman that I am, who shal deliver me from this Body of Death?
A30566You had need therefore take heed what you do when temptation to sin comes, take heed you do not break your bones, and your Leggs, Why?
A30566You have sinned against the Lord, and you are troubled, what shal we do?
A30566You know in time of danger, when any come and rap at the dore, wil you open the dore presently?
A30566You wil say then, why are you speaking al this while to exhort people to come to him, we are dead, and you had as good speake to dead men?
A30566You wil say, How is the Law a bondage unto those that are Godly, being the law of God?
A30566You wil say, Why then hath not al their stony hearts been taken from them because the promise is absolute?
A30566You wil say, can a man make too much hast to get assurance of Gods Love in Christ?
A30566You wil say, doth not God sometimes chastise his people for their sins?
A30566You wil say, it comes from Love, therefore God chastiseth not for sin, No?
A30566You wil say, what is there that can be higher than what we are inabled to do by God?
A30566You will say what is more?
A30566You will say what is that for Christ to reach forth his hand, and invite that way?
A30566You will say what should we do then?
A30566You will say, How doth that appear, that there is any such intimation of Gods go ● ness to a soul in particular when it is called to come to Christ?
A30566You will say, How shall we know it is the voyce of Christ?
A30566You will say, Shall that be such a Rest in performing of Holy Duties?
A30566am I able to come to him?
A30566and is it not a mercy that thou art not drowned in the sea?
A30566and say, Men and bretheren, what shal we do to be saved?
A30566and that we might sit in the ● himny corner and do nothing?
A30566and therefore it is but trusting in Gods mercy; and do we not do as others do?
A30566art thou so burdened with those inward corruptions in thy spirit, that the world can take no notice of?
A30566blessed Saviour, we are vild unworthy creatures, we lie under the weight and burden of the guilt of our Sins: and shal such as we come to thee?
A30566blessed Saviour,( saith the poor Sinner) thou art the Holy one of the Father; thou art God blessed for ever, and how should I be able to come to thee?
A30566but because the proper place of the fire is above: and that the Earth, and all heavy things fal downward?
A30566can this man have rest, if he do but understand this?
A30566can you rest now?
A30566come and cast this burden upon me, I have born the wrath of God; Or is it the burden of the Law?
A30566does God say, that if you first repent, and performe such and such duties that I require of you, then I wil take away your heart of stone?
A30566dost not thou work for thy self in al thy waies?
A30566dost thou think this wil be peace in the end?
A30566forgive us our Sins?
A30566hast thou not now a gracious offer?
A30566have we met with any thing of Christ here?
A30566have you not sought to bring it about by the works of the Law, and have thought to get rest and peace to your souls that way?
A30566how is he beforehand with us?
A30566if he called you to come to him for mercy, would you not come?
A30566is God so hard to his Creature as to command that which he gives no ability to perform?
A30566is it not the word of the Lord?
A30566is the root of it Gods displeasure, Gods wrath, Gods hatred?
A30566is the root of it the love of Christ to my soul?
A30566no trouble, wil you say, do not such and such things fal cross to them, such and such afflictions fal as cross to such men as any others?
A30566saith God, to his servants, have ye invited them to come in, and wil they not?
A30566shal we continue in sin that grace may abound?
A30566suppose we do endeauor to obey to the uttermost that we can?
A30566that there might be peace between God and my soul, that I might have assurance of Gods Love?
A30566that thou art brought to land, to heare one more offer to come to Christ?
A30566the way of God is so hard, and duty so strict, to live so exactly, who is able to do this?
A30566there is an affliction upon me, but what is the root of it?
A30566thou wretched soul, is not that that thou hearest in the word the truth of God?
A30566to be in debt, will not that disquiet one?
A30566what course have you taken to get it?
A30566what if the affliction comes to me for my sin, can I have rest then?
A30566what is it that gives interest in Christ?
A30566what is it that makes a member of Christ?
A30566what is the rest of Christ?
A30566what shal I do in this?
A30566what wil this man do when he shal be called to account for al his time, for al his opportunity for al his estate?
A30566what would Christ have you to do?
A30566wil you say, such a man is gone to his rest, that is gone to sleep upon the top of a mast?
A30566yes, certainly, one that is once come to Christ, wil not go from him again, why?
A30566you have some peace and comfort, but you shal not have so much holiness: but do you exercise your faith for holiness most?
A537211. how much more will he do so, who being often invited unto Peace with God, yet hardeneth his heart, and refuseth to treat with him?
A5372111. what do the Saints hereupon?
A5372116. not make haste; to what?
A5372118. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity?
A5372124. cry out, when he was deprived of them?
A53721A man professeth that the death of Christ will mortifie sin, and subdue corruption; Why doth he believe it?
A53721After what?
A53721Ah how many Laodicean Churches have we in the World?
A53721Ah poor worms, with whom have we to do?
A53721Ah saith the soul, Whither shall I cause my sorrow to go?
A53721Ah, saith the soul, have I thus requited the wonderful astonishing Love of my Redeemer?
A53721Alas, what strangers for the most part are men now adayes to this frame?
A53721And are they accepted with God?
A53721And by the Apostle; Is God unjust who taketh vengeance?
A53721And by what means it hath been declared unto you?
A53721And doth he not in them, and by them speak us into a Reverence of his Greatness?
A53721And for us who have in this matter to do with God, what is our continuance unto that of the world?
A53721And for your duties you mention, what I pray is the root and spring of them?
A53721And hast thou thus requited my love?
A53721And have I failed them?
A53721And have you considered what it is for sinners, such sinners as you are, to have to deal with a Righteous and a holy God?
A53721And have your hearts leaped within you with the thoughts of it?
A53721And how could his delight be with the Sons of men?
A53721And how do we behold this glory?
A53721And how is it in this case?
A53721And how small a portion is it that we know of God?
A53721And if he be somewhat disquieted, can he not contain himself, but that he must roar, and cry out?
A53721And if we deal so with God what is there in our so doing, praise worthy?
A53721And indeed what can be more righteous than its sentence?
A53721And is not the reason of it, that we value the world more, and Heaven and heavenly things less than he did?
A53721And shall he be refused by you?
A53721And shall it now be neglected or despised by you?
A53721And shall not we be instructed by him?
A53721And shall not we now be made partakers of it?
A53721And shall the soul be slothful, careless, dull, secure, when fire is put to its eternal concernments?
A53721And shall this fail us?
A53721And shall we think that such as these believe forgiveness of sin?
A53721And to what end doth God at any time make these seemingly dubious intimations of Grace and Mercy?
A53721And to what end hat he thus spared us, and let pass those Advantages for our destruction, that we have put into his hand?
A53721And to what end is this?
A53721And to what end?
A53721And what Effects have these thoughts produced?
A53721And what Reason have they then to believe that the things which it speaks of that are without them, are one jot better?
A53721And what are we poor worms, whose lives are measured by inches in comparison of their span?
A53721And what are we, that we should contend about it with him?
A53721And what can not the Wisdom and Grace of the Father and Son effect and accomplish?
A53721And what could God that can not lye, do more, to give us satisfaction herein than he hath done?
A53721And what course doth he steer in this heavy, sorrowful, and disconsolate condition?
A53721And what course doth he take to convince them of their mistake therein?
A53721And what course doth he take?
A53721And what did he obtain hereby?
A53721And what do they bear witness unto?
A53721And what do we know or understand of these things?
A53721And what doth she do when she is thus resolved?
A53721And what greater evidence, what greater Assurance can we have, that there is forgiveness with God for us?
A53721And what is got by this?
A53721And what is it that he prayes for them, in distinction from all other men whatever?
A53721And what is that?
A53721And what is the rise, spring, and cause of these things?
A53721And what is their acceptance with God?
A53721And what know we hereof?
A53721And what peace can you possibly obtain, were you as holy as ever you aimed or desired to be, whilest this is your Condition?
A53721And what shall we say, when he himself hath undertaken to make all things that he guides unto us to work together for our good?
A53721And what thence ensues?
A53721And what was that better Testament?
A53721And what was the Reason, what was the cause, that he was thus dealt withal?
A53721And what way did you steer, what course did you take to obtain the blessed condition wherein now you are?
A53721And what will be the end?
A53721And what will be the issue?
A53721And what will it avail any of us, that there is forgiveness of sin with God, if our own sins be not forgiven?
A53721And wherein did it consist?
A53721And wherein doth that consist?
A53721And who is this that is thus sent and called the only begotten Son of God?
A53721And why so?
A53721And wilt thou think it meet for such a one as thou art, to magnifie thy self against the great possessor of Heaven and Earth?
A53721Are not Heaven and Earth astonished at the despising of that Love, at which they are astonished?
A53721Are not the Consciences, and Convictions of the most stifled, by this Apprehension?
A53721Are the corrupted Natures of men, and the Gospel so suited, so complying?
A53721Are their consciences purged?
A53721Are their hearts continually filled with thoughts about it?
A53721Are their hearts purified by it?
A53721Are their lives changed?
A53721Are they not all the effect of the Word of the Power of this glorious God?
A53721Are they solicitous about it?
A53721Are they solicitous concerning their interest in it?
A53721Are we not satisfied with our condition?
A53721Are we, say they, blind also?
A53721Are you tossed up and down between hopes and fears, want peace, consolation and establishment?
A53721Art thou come to call my sins to remembrance and to slay my Son?
A53721Art thou not even ashamed to desire him to return?
A53721As Reuben cryed, The child is not, and I whither shall I go?
A53721Be it so then; through our sin and default this good and holy Law, this Covenant was made unprofitable unto us; But what was that unto God?
A53721But are you sure now that this is so, may you not possibly be deceived?
A53721But did they make a right Judgement of themselves?
A53721But doth Christ agree with Zion in this sentence?
A53721But doth he lye down under the burden of all this trouble?
A53721But doth it abide there?
A53721But doth not this tend to licenciousness?
A53721But his Soveraignty, Righteousness and Holiness, how are they declared hereby?
A53721But how are you confirmed in this perswasion?
A53721But how can this be?
A53721But how doth this appear that indeed this is the counsel of his will?
A53721But how then could he rejoyce in the habitable parts of the Earth?
A53721But is this all?
A53721But is this that forgiveness which is revealed in the Gospel?
A53721But is this the design of God?
A53721But now what are the greatest number of those who pretend to receive this Truth?
A53721But now what can be required to make any thing a duty unto us, that is wanting in this matter?
A53721But shall this Atheistical wickedness of the heart of man be called a discovery of forgiveness?
A53721But this is not all; he is not swallowed up in this amazement, crying out only who can stand?
A53721But was it so with her indeed?
A53721But what are these duties?
A53721But what is a dead body, and a dead womb, to an accusing Conscience, a killing Law, and apprehensions of a God terrible as a consuming fire?
A53721But what is it that can be reasonably excepted against this evidence, this foundation of our faith in this matter?
A53721But what is it unto the whole habitable world, and the fulness thereof?
A53721But what is the ground of such an invitation, unto such profligate sinners?
A53721But what is the issue?
A53721But what is the issue?
A53721But what is the issue?
A53721But who are they?
A53721But you will say how shall we distinguish between these two, so as not causelesly to be disquieted and perplexed?
A53721But you will say; Why, what great matter is there that you have in hand?
A53721By whom are they proposed?
A53721By whom were these Terms procured for you?
A53721Can I walk with God in them, whilst I have thus made him mine enemy?
A53721Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
A53721Can any one certainly say, that he is worsted thereby?
A53721Can he not be quiet night nor day?
A53721Can he, say they, give bread?
A53721Can two walk together unless they be agreed?
A53721Can we be deceived trusting in it, or expecting that we shall find him to be what his name declares?
A53721Can you find a man that is otherwise minded?
A53721Could it have any other end, but to deceive poor creatures?
A53721Did I love thee, and leave my glory to become a scorn and reproach for thy sake?
A53721Did I not think my life, and all that was dear unto me too good for thee, to save thee from the wrath to come?
A53721Did he go through with it?
A53721Did he no more for the securing of the forgiveness of sins unto us, but only that he dyed for them?
A53721Did he only testifie his Love, and shew his good will for our deliverance?
A53721Did his Work cease in his death?
A53721Did it interest them in the promises?
A53721Did not the wrath of God overtake them notwithstanding?
A53721Did this profit them?
A53721Do these things abound in you?
A53721Do they deny all ungodliness and worldly lusts?
A53721Do they look upon it as their Treasure, their Jewel, their Pearl of price?
A53721Do they often look and examine whether it continues safe in their possession or no?
A53721Do they reckon, that whilst that is safe, all is safe with them?
A53721Do we doubt whether there be forgiveness with God or no?
A53721Do we not find all men full enough, most too full of Apprehensions of Forgiveness with God?
A53721Do we think that God hath forgiveness only for this or that individual person?
A53721Do you aright consider the nature of this matter?
A53721Do you at all seriously think of these things?
A53721Do you think it excellent, safe, and Glorious unto them who are entred unto it?
A53721Do you think to mend your condition by wishing it better, or complaining it is so bad?
A53721Doth forgiveness teach them so to do?
A53721Doth the Husbandman after he casts his seed into the Earth, immediately the next day, the next week, expect that it will be harvest?
A53721Find you not in your selves an impotency, a disability unto the dutyes of Obedience, as to their performance unto God in an acceptable manner?
A53721Finding themselves in depths, in distresses about sin, what course do they take?
A53721First, Then in particular it cryes out, If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721For do we think that he will be beholding unto them?
A53721For having said, Why dost thou cast me off O God?
A53721For how else should Cain so instantly know, that his Brother and his Offering were accepted, but that he and his were refused?
A53721For how should a man, any man, the best of men, be just with God if he would contend with him?
A53721For may he not do what he will with his own?
A53721For the Interrogation is indefinite; not how can I?
A53721For to what end should he have done it?
A53721For what Reason can be imagined, why God will be glorified in one Essential Excellency of his Nature, and not in another?
A53721For what else becomes us when we have to do with this great, and Holy one?
A53721For what need any man complain of that which requires nothing of him, but what he is from his own frame and Principles inclined unto?
A53721For what should encourage us unto any such boldness?
A53721For what sincerity can be in such proceedings?
A53721For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his counsellor?
A53721God alwaies immutably subsisting in his own Infinite Being?
A53721Gospel- forgiveness?
A53721Hast thou not heard; hast not thou known?
A53721Hath God enlarged our hearts in prayer?
A53721Hath Nabal thus requited my kindness saith David?
A53721Hath he so done his work and laid it aside, or doth he still continue to carry it on until it be brought unto its perfection?
A53721Hath it been to make up what was wanting, and to piece up a peace in your own Consciences?
A53721Hath it filled you with self- loathing and Abhorrency, with self- condemnation, and abasement?
A53721Hath it this effect upon his soul, in his own heart?
A53721Hath the Holy Ghost wrought a serious Recognition in your hearts of all these things, and caused them to abide with you and upon you?
A53721Hath the unspeakable multitude of the sins of your lives been set in order by the Law before you?
A53721Hath this been done by a Word of Truth?
A53721Have I been a Wilderness unto thee, or a land of darkness?
A53721Have the wayes of Holyness, of Obedience, of Duties been so unto you?
A53721Have they found it effectual to these purposes?
A53721Have they had secret reasonings and contendings in their hearts about it?
A53721Have we nothing to do but to lay the foundation?
A53721Have you been convinced of the Universal Enmity that is in your hearts to the mind of God; and what it is to be at Enmity against God?
A53721Have you been filled with perplexities and consternation of Spirit thereupon?
A53721Have you given up your selves to this Grace?
A53721Have you had fears dreads or terrors to wrestle withall?
A53721Have you looked upon it as the price of his life, and the purchase of his blood?
A53721Have you seen pardon flowing from the heart of the Father through the blood of the Son?
A53721Have you stood at the shore of that infinite Ocean of Goodness and Love?
A53721Have you then been made sensible of your condition by Nature; what it is to be alienated from the life of God, and to be obnoxious to his wrath?
A53721Have your souls found supportment and relief from that Consideration?
A53721He did it not upon our desire, request, or proposal, but meerly of his own Accord, and why should we contend with him about it?
A53721He finds fault with the first; what then doth he do?
A53721He is great and terrible, a marker of sin, and what shall I say unto him?
A53721He quickly rebukes and recollects himself, saying, Why art thou cast down O my Soul, and why art thou disquieted within me?
A53721He sayes of some sins of ungodly men, as I live this iniquity shall not be purged from you until ye dye?
A53721He takes up their hearts to be his dwelling place; to what ends and purposes?
A53721He that made the Eye, shall he not see?
A53721He that planted the Ear, shall he not hear?
A53721He 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?
A53721He that thus prescribes forgiveness to us, that bestows the Grace of it upon us, is there not forgiveness with him?
A53721How comes it to be an occasion of his trouble?
A53721How comes the Remembrance of God to be unto him a matter of trouble?
A53721How could David keep silence, and yet roar all the day long?
A53721How did they entertain these promises of God?
A53721How doth David rouse up himself when he found his mind inclinable unto such a frame?
A53721How doth God know?
A53721How great then will be your destruction?
A53721How infinite, how unspeakable must needs the Grace and Condescention of God in this matter be?
A53721How is it then that you are thus delivered that you are no more sad?
A53721How is the true God distinguished from these Gods by Reputation?
A53721How light do most men make of pardon?
A53721How little of the workings of this Spirit is found amongst us?
A53721How long did his Afflictions continue?
A53721How many Professors are members of these Chruches?
A53721How many, things have the Romanists invented to deceive souls withal?
A53721How much less on them that dwell in houses of Clay; whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?
A53721How shall a man know that his humiliation is Evangelical, that his sorrow is according to God?
A53721How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?
A53721How then shall we apprehend it; how shall we conceive of it?
A53721How then shall we obtain the knowledge of them?
A53721How unconceivable is this glorious divine Property unto the thoughts and minds of men?
A53721How was he prepared for the reception of this great mysterie in its first discovery?
A53721How was this?
A53721How weak are the waies and terms whereby they go about to express it?
A53721However, what shame and confusion of face belongs to me for my wretched disingenuity, and ingratitude towards him?
A53721I am sure, that eventually they prevail so far, that in the preaching of the Gospel, we have great cause to say, Lord who hath believed our report?
A53721I have sinned, what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men?
A53721I speak unto them that are under the Law; Would you be free from that bondage, that galling yoke in dutyes of Obedience?
A53721If God will have us saved in a way of meer mercy and forgiveness; If his Wisdom and Soveraignty be in it, shall we oppose him, and say we like it not?
A53721If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not; how will you believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
A53721If any one hath sinned, and is in depths and entanglements about it; what course shall he take, how shall he proceed to obtain deliverance?
A53721If he did so, and had that blessed Issue, why should not we do so also?
A53721If one man sin against another, the Judge shall judge him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him?
A53721If then you say you know it; Let us enquire how you came so to do?
A53721If they have no Experience of what it affirms to be within them, what confidence can they have of the Reality of what it reveals to be without them?
A53721If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquity, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquity, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721If thou be Righteous what givest thou him, or what receiveth he at thine hand?
A53721If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A53721If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A53721If we abide at a distance from God, we shall assuredly perish; who ever hardned himself against him and prospered?
A53721If you are not, why do you give up your selves to despondencies?
A53721If you do these things ye shall never fall: What never fall into sin?
A53721If you sit still you perish, and if you rise to be doing, it will not be better; is there no hope left for our Souls?
A53721In that case who shall take upon him to intercede for the sinner?
A53721Is Grace capable of a conversion into Lust or Sin?
A53721Is he fit to intercede for sinners that shall make it?
A53721Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous, or is it gain unto him that thou makest thy wayes perfect?
A53721Is it consistent with any Divine Excellency?
A53721Is it for want of Mercy, Goodness, Grace or Patience in God?
A53721Is it for want of the mightiest encouragements and most infallible Assurances that with God there is Forgiveness?
A53721Is it in a future Amendment and Repentance?
A53721Is it in the World?
A53721Is it in the continuance of their lives?
A53721Is it in their Duties, and Righteousness?
A53721Is it in their Lusts, and sins, that they will yield them as much satisfaction and contentment as they shall need to desire?
A53721Is it not Industry and Activity of spirit?
A53721Is it not a common complaint that men presume on it, unto their eternal ruine?
A53721Is it not evident that all their lives they seem industriously to take care that they may perish eternally?
A53721Is it not for the most part from your sloth and despondency of spirit?
A53721Is it not he who destroyed Aegypt with his Plagues, and drowned Pharaoh with his Host in the red Sea?
A53721Is it not he, one of whose servants flew an hundred and fourscore and five thousand in Senacheribs Army in one night?
A53721Is it not that he might by his patience, give us leave and space to get an interest in that forgiveness which he thus testifies to be in himself?
A53721Is it not then incumbent on every one to be enquiring in what number he is likely to be found at the last day?
A53721Is it nothing unto you to lose all your hopes, and all your Expectations which you have from hence?
A53721Is it possible there should be mercy for such an one?
A53721Is it saith he, to God, Good for thee that shouldst oppress, that thou shouldst despise the work of thy hands?
A53721Is it the burning of our houses, the spoiling of our Goods, the ruine of our estates alone that our sins have deserved?
A53721Is it through any defect in the Mediation of the Lord Christ?
A53721Is not God holy, righteous, wise in what he hath done?
A53721Is not this he who brought the Flood of old upon the world of ungodly men?
A53721Is not this to make God an Idol?
A53721Is not what he doth, good and holy because he doth it?
A53721Is that the beginning of our Message unto him?
A53721Is the New Covenant grown so connatural to flesh and blood?
A53721Is the greatest secret that ever was revealed from the bosom of the Father, become so familiar and easie to the wisdom of the flesh?
A53721Is there any need of their Testimony to the Truth, Faithfulness, and Goodness of God?
A53721Is there any thing more to be done herein?
A53721Is there forgiveness with him or no?
A53721Is there no forgiveness with God?
A53721Is there not Remunerative Justice in God, in a way of Bounty?
A53721Is there not Vindictive Justice in him, in a way of severity?
A53721Is this all?
A53721Is this an Argument to keep thee from believing?
A53721Is this any thing of that you do believe?
A53721Is this giving all diligence?
A53721Is this the frame of the most of men?
A53721Is this the return that thou hast made unto him for all his love, his kindness, his consolations, mercies?
A53721Is this the return, the requital, I have made unto him?
A53721Is this thy kindness for him, thy love to him?
A53721Is this thy kindness to thy Friend?
A53721Is this working out our Salvation with fear and trembling?
A53721It comes not in its own name, but in the name of him who appointed it; you will say then, is it so indeed?
A53721It is an expression of exultation that he useth; but what is the Issue of it?
A53721It is answered by the matter of the Proposal, who can stand?
A53721It is to bring him to Repentance: What now, if he obtaine his end, and man cometh to that which is aimed at?
A53721It must then be for our sakes; and for what?
A53721It will then be said, doth not all this lye directly contrary to our daily experience?
A53721Let Jesus Christ be heard to speak in this cause, let him come and judge?
A53721Let us consider with whom we have to do; are not we and all our concernments in his hands, as the Clay in the hand of the Potter?
A53721Many have not these terms revealed unto them; few find favour to accept of them; and of whom is it that you have obtained this peculiar mercy?
A53721May I not justly fear, that the Lord will take his holy Spirit from me, until I be left without remedy?
A53721May he not do what he will with his own?
A53721May it not be feared that it is utterly otherwise?
A53721May not an Intercessor be obtained to plead in the behalf of the guilty soul?
A53721May we not then see a mixture of unspeakable patience, grace and mercy in every dispensation?
A53721Methinks now Judas his Repentance looks like the young mans Obedience, who cryed out, all these things have I done; Is there any thing yet lacking?
A53721No, saith the Apostle, God hath another design in his patience, and long- suffering; what is this?
A53721No; Have they considered how the Objections that lye against it may be removed?
A53721None can, saith the Holy Ghost; nor can it be spoken to their capacity; ah what shall their end be?
A53721Nor is there the least relief to be had but from and by him; for who can forgive sins but God?
A53721Not at all; But is it so indeed that this perswasion is thus bred in you, you know not how?
A53721Notions there are many about it, and endless contentions, but what more?
A53721Now how can any man apply himself hereunto, whilest he is altogether uncertain whether he hath received any principle of Living, Saving Grace, or no?
A53721Now how do most men look upon forgiveness?
A53721Now what is the Advantage of these things?
A53721Now what is the way to receive that which comes from meer Soveraignty and prerogative?
A53721Now what was Adams condition when the Revelation of forgiveness was first made to him?
A53721O sinners, come and deal with God by Repentance: Doth it not openly speak forgiveness in God?
A53721O that I had thousands of Ramms, and ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl to offer to him?
A53721Oh how little is this really believed, even by them who make a profession of it?
A53721Or are you so under the power of your Lusts, Ignorance, and Darkness, that you neglect and despise them?
A53721Or by what other wayes or means have you come to that acquaintance with it, whereof you boast?
A53721Or did you receive it from and by some seasonable word, of, or from the Scriptures spoken unto you?
A53721Or do you not hope well in Generall upon the account of what you have done, and will doe?
A53721Or have you general thoughts that Christ dyed for finners?
A53721Or is it never fall totally from God?
A53721Our sins are upon us, we pine away in them, and how should we then live?
A53721Particular troublesome reflections upon your selves, when on any eruption of sin, Conscience accuses, rebukes, condemns?
A53721Reason stands by amazed, and cryes how can these things be?
A53721Saith such a soul in its self; foolish creature, hast thou thus requited the Lord?
A53721Saith such a soul, How excellent, how precious is this forgiveness that is with God?
A53721Secondly, But may not this Judge be intreated to pass by what he knows, and to deal favourably with the sinner?
A53721Shall I curse God and dye?
A53721Shall I do more than ever he required of any of the Sons of men?
A53721Shall I take the course of the world, and seeing it will be no better, be wholly regardless of my latter end?
A53721Shall all this be done for our sakes, and shall we undervalue it, or disesteem it?
A53721Shall he not believe, or profess those things to be so, because he can not obtaine a blessed Experience of them?
A53721Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A53721Shall she give over waiting on God, and say there is no hope?
A53721Shall we call him unto an account?
A53721Sinners are under the power of Satan; he layes a claim unto them, and by what means shall they be rescued from his interest and dominion?
A53721So doth such a soul; the Love of God is not, Christ is not, and I whither shall I cause my sorrow to go?
A53721Some we find crying with that wicked King, This evil is of the Lord, why should we wait any longer for him?
A53721Such as he will not do often nor ordinarily; such as shall fill the world with dread and amazement: He will answer his people in terrible things?
A53721Suppose this also; Let us go a little further and enquire whether you know any thing that yet remains of the like importance in this matter?
A53721Suppose you are strangers to this also: What communion with God have you had about it in the blood of Christ?
A53721That it should be an endeavour needless, or superfluous, to inquire into the Will of God about, and our own interest in these things, who can imagine?
A53721That you would seriously consider, whether the forgiveness you rest on, and hope in, be that Gospel Forgiveness which we have before described?
A53721The Indefiniteness of that Interrogation; Who shall stand?
A53721The Law it knows; and Righteousness it knows, but as for forgiveness it sayes, whence is it?
A53721The Rise and Spring of our forgiveness is in the heart and Gracious Nature of God, declared by his Name; Have you enquired seriously into this?
A53721The Terms of it are unequall, how can any man believe them?
A53721The last Lords day, such a one, or such a one preached to the same purpose; And what need it be insisted on now again, with so much importunity?
A53721The sinner can not then expect any door of escape to be opened unto him?
A53721The sinners in Sion are afraid, fearfulness hath surprised the Hypocrites; who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
A53721The soul in this frame is contented to wait the pleasure of God, as we shall see in the close of the Psalm?
A53721The wayes of Wisdom are pleasantness, and her paths are peace?
A53721Then shall you remember your own evil wayes, and your doings that were not good; When shall they do so?
A53721There being no forgiveness for them, what should move them to repent?
A53721These things are plainly, openly, frequently insisted on in the Gospel?
A53721This is called speaking against God; they spake against God; they said, Can he furnish a Table in the wilderness?
A53721This makes him tremble, and cry out, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721This was the Way whereby he rose out of his depths and escaped out of his entanglements?
A53721Thou numbrest my steps, dost thou not watch over my sin?
A53721Thoughts of sinning against the Love of God, managed by the Holy Ghost; what shall I say?
A53721Thy houses are burned, but perhaps thy goods are saved; is there no grace, no goodness therein?
A53721To have no other Reception with God, than if all this while you had been wallowing in your sins and lusts?
A53721To have pardon, forgiveness, life, and blessed Eternity on believing, who can rest in it?
A53721To what end doth the Lord set forth and declare his glorious Greatness and Power?
A53721To what end?
A53721Upon the death of her Son, which it seems was some what extraordinary, she cryed out unto the Prophet, What have I to do with thee thou Man of God?
A53721Was it by preaching of the Word unto you, or by reading of it, or meditating upon it?
A53721Was it by vertue of any especial personal priviledge that was peculiar unto them?
A53721Was there any Reason, why he should do so, designing to do all things for himself and for his own glory?
A53721We come with our Report of forgiveness; but who believes it?
A53721We must say then unto such heartless Complainers, as God did to Joshuah, Get you up, why lye you thus upon your faces?
A53721Well may poor sinners cry out, Lord who shall stand?
A53721Well then, if God will hasten it, may not we hasten to it?
A53721Well, what shall be the issue thereof?
A53721What Argument doth he make use of to free them from their unbelief, and to rebuke their fears?
A53721What a life of Joy, Rest, Peace, and Consolation do they lead?
A53721What an easie thing is it to be acquainted with it?
A53721What are his thoughts hereupon?
A53721What are these joyful tydings?
A53721What ayles the Man?
A53721What can remain of distrust in such a case?
A53721What can these thoughts and counsels be, but about a way for their deliverance, which could no otherwise be, but by the forgiveness of sins?
A53721What can we now object against what is thus confirmed?
A53721What course did you take?
A53721What course then shall she take?
A53721What course will you fix upon, for the obtaining of these Ends?
A53721What did he aim at and design?
A53721What dismal darkness and disconsolation, yea, what utter ruine should I be left unto?
A53721What do I think of Ordinances?
A53721What doth he call them unto?
A53721What for the most part have you hitherto been conversant about?
A53721What further can any soul desire?
A53721What great sin, crime, or offence is in this enquiry?
A53721What greater can be given?
A53721What ground is left of questioning the Truth in hand?
A53721What ground remains for unbelief to stand upon in this matter?
A53721What hath any soul in the World to object against them?
A53721What have you to say to these things?
A53721What if I should have so grieved him that he will dwell in me no more, delight in me no more?
A53721What is a Church?
A53721What is it that the Scripture calls for in your condition?
A53721What is it that they intend thereby?
A53721What is so High, Glorious, and Mysterious as the Doctrine of the ever blessed Trinity?
A53721What is that silence which is consistent with roaring?
A53721What is the Reason hereof?
A53721What is the bottom and foundation of this blessed Resolution?
A53721What is the end of all Church Order, Assemblies, and Worship?
A53721What is the issue?
A53721What is the matter with all this roaring, sighing, tears, roaring all the day, all night long?
A53721What is the reason that controversies hang so long between God and your souls, that it may be you scarce see a good day all your lives?
A53721What is the usual course that is taken in such complaints by them to whom they are made?
A53721What is their common deportment in reference unto it?
A53721What link of this Chain can unbelief break in, or upon?
A53721What now have the most of men, who are confident in the profession of this faith, to say unto this thing?
A53721What now if God should deprive us of all these things?
A53721What pretence, colour, or excuse can we have for our unbelief?
A53721What say they unto a poor guilty sinner?
A53721What shall I do to be saved, is the utmost it aims at, Who shall deliver me, how shall I escape?
A53721What shall be the end of them that obey not the Gospel?
A53721What shall be the end of them that obey not the Gospel?
A53721What shall he then do?
A53721What shall we now say?
A53721What shall we say after this?
A53721What shall we say concerning the Heavens over us, and all these creatures of Light that have their habitations in them?
A53721What so common as God is merciful?
A53721What then I pray?
A53721What then became of the Lord Christ in his undertaking?
A53721What then did Christ do in his death?
A53721What then did God do unto him?
A53721What then doth God aim at in and by all these various wayes of teachings?
A53721What then doth he do?
A53721What then doth the sinner?
A53721What then is now become of him?
A53721What then is the natural posture and frame of the soul towards God as displeased?
A53721What then is the peculiar Instruction that is proper for souls in this condition?
A53721What then may be the language of this appointment?
A53721What then saith he of Laodicea?
A53721What then saith he to J A H?
A53721What then shall I do?
A53721What then shall be the issue, if these things are attended unto?
A53721What then shall poor, sinful, guilty creatures do?
A53721What then shall we now say?
A53721What then, faith God by his word, Wilt thou go away also?
A53721What then?
A53721What understanding can reach to an apprehension of their miserable and wofull condition?
A53721What was his condition who fled of old to the City of refuge for safety, from whence this expression is taken?
A53721What was his intention in submitting unto, and undergoing the Will of God in these things?
A53721What was in transaction between God as the Judge of all, and him that was the Mediator of the Church?
A53721What was the matter of this report?
A53721What was then his State and Condition?
A53721What was wanting that made all that they did abominable?
A53721What way then, what remedy is left unto us?
A53721What will you doe?
A53721What, because God can not pardon them, it is not possible with him?
A53721When he giveth quietness, who can give trouble?
A53721When it is, as it were, laid out of the way by sin and unbelief, do they give themselves no rest, untill it be afresh discovered unto them?
A53721When was this done?
A53721Whence is it then that there is such a bleating and bellowing to the contrary amongst them?
A53721Whence then is it said, that God appeared unto them by the name of Elshaddai, but not by the name of Jehovah?
A53721Whence therefore doth it appear, whence may we infallibly conclude, that God will redeem his Israel from all their iniquities?
A53721Where have you found ease and peace?
A53721Where is he, and what doth he?
A53721Where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
A53721Where then is Boasting?
A53721Wherefore did this glorious Son of God come and Tabernacle amongst poor sinners?
A53721Wherefore doth he reject and lay aside this Covenant and Promise to make another, and do so accordingly?
A53721Wherefore the Law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good; was then that which was good made death unto me?
A53721Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and how my self before the high God?
A53721Who amongst us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A53721Who can stand?
A53721Who can stand?
A53721Who hath given first unto him that it should be recompenced unto him again?
A53721Who is not in hopes, in expectation of pardon?
A53721Who is this that thus bespeaks you?
A53721Who shall undertake to umpire the business, the controversie between God and Sinners?
A53721Who thinks not that they know well enough at least what it is, if they might but obtain it?
A53721Whom did God send about this business?
A53721Whose Conscience almost is burdened with this as a sin, that he doth not as he ought, believe the forgiveness of his sins?
A53721Why had such one help and I none?
A53721Why my house, not my neighbours?
A53721Why sayest thou O Jacob, and speakest O Israel, my way is hid from the Lord, and my judgement is passed over from my God?
A53721Why should any one have a thought of compassion towards them, who despise the compassion of God?
A53721Why should it be their duty so to do?
A53721Why the City, not the Suburbs?
A53721Why what ayled you, what was the matter with you; seeing as to the outward things you were in Peace?
A53721Why where is the defect?
A53721Why, saith he?
A53721Why, they have nothing to lead them into the mysterious depths of eternal Love, of the blood of Christ, and Promises of the Gospel?
A53721Will Christ pray that they may find favour with him?
A53721Will he not frequently satisfie himself that it is safe?
A53721Will he now deny that unto us, which he hath given such Assurance of, and raised such expectations concerning it?
A53721Will it do me any good to be at Jerusalem, and not see the face of the King?
A53721Will it relieve me?
A53721Will not the dread of his Excellency fall upon us?
A53721Will we continue on the old bottom of the first Covenant?
A53721Will what was once Grace, ever become Wantonness?
A53721Will you yet account the blood of the Covenant to be a common thing?
A53721Without a perswasion hereof how can a man on grounds of faith carry himself towards God as his Father?
A53721Would he not bestir himself with all his might, and call in all the help he could obtain?
A53721Would he not by so doing prove himself to be the greatest of them?
A53721Would it not change the whole frame of the spirit of such a man, and as it were put new life into him?
A53721Would you be made partakers of this forgiveness?
A53721Would you have all that you do towards God, a delight and pleasantness unto you?
A53721Yea, and let him be accursed; for what can be more required to justifie God in his eternal destruction?
A53721You believe there is forgiveness with God; Yes, but have you been convinced of sin?
A53721You have taken away my Gods, saith he, and what have I more?
A53721You will say then, What shall a man do who can not find or obtain an experience in himself of what is affirmed in the Word?
A53721You will say then, do you condemn this manner of proceeding with the souls of men in their doubts, fears and distresses?
A53721and by what means?
A53721and have not all ages been filled with such instances of his Greatness and Power?
A53721and how are they performed?
A53721and how many are ruined by them every day?
A53721and if he be, why do we not subscribe unto his wayes, and submit quietly unto his Will?
A53721and if it were otherwise could men possibly be more frustrated or deceived?
A53721and if we know nothing at all of these things, as indeed we do not, were it not best for us to leave them quietly unto Gods disposal?
A53721and may he not do what he will with his own?
A53721and sent out fire from the Altar to devour Nadab and Abibu?
A53721and shall we complain of Gods dispensations about them?
A53721and shall we then repine against it?
A53721and shall we think that this is the whole design of the Patience of God?
A53721and what mean thoughts are entertained about it, when men seek for pardon?
A53721and when he hideth his face, who can behold him?
A53721are any Complaints ready to break out of our mouths?
A53721are they influenced from this Faith of forgiveness you boast of or no?
A53721are your complaints of want of an Interest in forgiveness, a sanctified means to obtain it?
A53721because it is so affirmed in the Gospel: How then, doth he find it to be so?
A53721but, who can stand?
A53721by the Promise of the Gospel?
A53721by whom is it received?
A53721can he give flesh unto his people?
A53721can not we wait under his present dispensations?
A53721do any repining thoughts against the works of God arise in our hearts?
A53721do we know what state, what condition will most further our Obedience, best obviate our temptations, or call most on us to mortifie our Corruptions?
A53721doth he despond, and give over?
A53721doth he think to fly from God, and to give over all endeavours of recovery?
A53721doth he think to reap so soon as he hath sown?
A53721doth it answer all the wants and distresses of your souls?
A53721doth not the nature of the thing require humble waiting?
A53721doth not this render Obedience, Holiness, Duties, Mortification of sin, and good works, needless?
A53721doth she make use of her former excuses and pretences, why she could not engage into the duties she was called unto?
A53721either to delude them if they do pray according to his command, or to involve them in further guilt, if they do not?
A53721hath he no other purpose but meerly to forbear them a while in their folly, and then to avenge himself upon them?
A53721have they given you delight in God, and strength unto new obedience?
A53721have they made you more holy, and more humble?
A53721have you been by any means delivered, or did your trouble wear off, and depart of its own accord?
A53721his only design?
A53721is it not the principle of spiritual life, whereof thou art partaker?
A53721is it not, the new Creature?
A53721is it that we should by the difficulty included in them, be discouraged and kept from him?
A53721it is excluded; by what Law?
A53721leave them in darkness, vailed, undiscovered, satisfying himself in the glory of those Properties which his work of Creation had made known?
A53721must we pine away under our sins and the wrath of God for ever?
A53721never silent, never hold his peace?
A53721now he is gone; he is withdrawn from thee, and what wilt thou do?
A53721or I see a little grass in the blade, but no corn, I will give it to the beasts to devour it?
A53721or Jacob, when he said, My way is hid from the Lord, and my Judgement is passed over from my God?
A53721or cry this evil is of the Lord, why should I wait for him any longer?
A53721or did also effectually pursue it, and not faint, until he had made a way for the exercise of forgiveness?
A53721or did he faint under it?
