A26816 | Who is able to unfold this excellent Glory? |
A26816 | Who would not be ambitious to be the Copy of such a Divine Original? |
A26816 | Will their Ignorance, or Abundance, or Slothfulness excuse the neglect of their Duty? |
A26816 | and when the Foundation is laid in serious Repentance, and the Work of Grace begun, what Diligence is requisite to raise it to Perfection? |
A26816 | how peremptory the Rejection? |

A51834 | Are all things set at rights between God and your souls? |
A51834 | Are you afraid to enter upon your own blessedness and glory? |
A51834 | But Christians can comfort one another upon better terms that they that sleep in Jesus are blessed, and shall we whine at their preferment? |
A51834 | Can you say that you have tryed him often, and he never failed you all your days? |
A51834 | Christians, is not this a blessed hope, that tells you of a sinless state, of being like Christ for purity and holiness? |
A51834 | Did you dissemble then? |
A51834 | For why? |
A51834 | Have you laid up comforts for this great day of expence? |
A51834 | How can their spirits be said to be perfect, if they lye onely in a dull sleep without any light, life, joy, delight, or act of love to God? |
A51834 | How foolishly do they deal that defer all to this hour,& are then to get faith when they should reduce it into practice? |
A51834 | How is it then? |
A51834 | I shall inquire, 1 What it is to dye in the Lord? |
A51834 | If you love Christ, why should you be unwilling to be in the arms of Christ? |
A51834 | Is it the terribleness of the passage? |
A51834 | Is your dying speech ready? |
A51834 | It was the language of your souls then, whom have I in heaven but thee? |
A51834 | Oh grave where is thy victory? |
A51834 | Or have you found cause since to retreat and begrudge your affections to him? |
A51834 | Or is it contempt of things to come? |
A51834 | Shall we murmur? |
A51834 | Then why is all this cost? |
A51834 | We are to go from earth to heaven, from conversing with men to converse with Angels, and why so loath to remove? |
A51834 | We shall see him as he is, for we shall be like unto him: What is it that you have struggled with and groaned under all your lives, but sin? |
A51834 | What could Christ expect upon his coming into the world but hard usage? |
A51834 | What needs further arguing? |
A51834 | What shall I say? |
A51834 | Which is to be preferred? |
A51834 | Will you shun Christs company when he desires yours? |
A51834 | Yea, we shall know those, whom we never saw; why else is it made a part of our priviledge to sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob? |
A51834 | Your friend, your advantage; Christ hath assured you of it; will you trust his word? |
A51834 | and longed for the time, in effect saying, When will it come? |
A51834 | and the whole flock shall follow the great shepherd of the sheep into their everlasting fold, triumphing and saying, Oh death where is thy sting? |
A51834 | and yield to sinkings of heart when God hath made a breach upon our relations? |
A51834 | but labour, and griefs, and shame, and death? |
A51834 | doth nature grudge at the thought of a dissolution? |
A51834 | how will this disparage our Doctrine, and make others suspect the comforts which we reach forth to them upon like occasions? |
A51834 | in knowledge or love? |
A51834 | love is an affection of union, it desireth to be with the party loved; and can you be unwilling to be dissolved and to be with Christ? |

A51834 | what is there in the world to be compared with heaven? |
A51834 | what needs all this waste? |
A51834 | where is your faith? |
A51834 | why came Christ to lay down his soul to purchase that which you care not for? |
A27497 | All my friends, saith he, as ashamed of me, have forsaken me, But if God withdraw his Grace from me, what shall I doe? |
A27497 | And are not the same with other additions renewed at the Consecration of a Bishop? |
A27497 | And hath not this of late beene the cause of the contempt of our calling? |
A27497 | And shall not our love to Christ constraine us rather? |
A27497 | But to return to S. Augustine; when he was made a Bishop, did he then give it over? |
A27497 | Can he hope to draw others to take the Oath of Allegiance when he refuseth it himselfe? |
A27497 | Could they not beare rule, and beare Fruit together? |
A27497 | Doth not usually such sensuall mirth goe out like a Candle? |
A27497 | First, Ability for matter of learning; how can they open the eyes of others, when they are blinde themselves? |
A27497 | For the fruite of it, tell mee you that give your selves to pleasure all the day, doth not a heavie heartednesse conclude it in the Evening? |
A27497 | How briefe is S. Augustines Symbolum, S. Ieromes Explanatio fidei ad Damasum& Cyrillum? |
A27497 | How firmely did he now beleeve Repentance to be the u gift of God, that it is he that worketh the will* and the deed? |
A27497 | How shall he blesse the people, when he is in a cursed estate himselfe? |
A27497 | How shall he give the body of Christ to others, who is not a member himselfe? |
A27497 | Is it not because the sword of his Spirit( the word) is not thus drawne out by you? |
A27497 | Let us all pitch upon one, and why not that appointed by Authority? |
A27497 | Now as f S. Jerom, if the light which be in the Minister the head be darknesse, how great must the darknesse be in the body of the people? |
A27497 | Now can they be spent in a more honourable service then the Ministry? |
A27497 | Quis in religione graviùs Petro? |
A27497 | Sheriff, Will you not take leave of your friends, when you shall never see them again? |
A27497 | The compassion to the Soules that are Christs, the gaine of an immortall crown with Christ, much more inflame us? |
A27497 | They are Leaders, should not they then know the way themselves? |
A27497 | Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not thy selfe? |
A27497 | We grant the Apostles to be sent of Christ, but what is that to such as are ordained in these days? |
A27497 | What are they, but severall Methods of the same thing in substance? |
A27497 | What is the cause of late, the Calling hath fallen into such Contempt? |
A27497 | What is the cause so few subiect themselves to Christs Scepter? |
A27497 | What presumption is it thē( saith the same Father) ſ for men to be ambitious of being Shepheards, when they are scarce sheep? |
A27497 | What? |
A27497 | Where we find his hand, why should wee doubt of his Seale? |
A27497 | Why should promotion over Others, make men barren in themselvs? |
A27497 | i What effect can that Embassadour expect, when his actions shall contradict his treaties? |
A27497 | m I have sinned, saith David, and done wickedly; but these sheepe what have they done? |
A27497 | n God doth beseech you by us, wee pray you in Christs stead; unheard of, that a King should Petition to his Subjects; and yet who of you yeelds? |
A27497 | quid de te novi referam? |
A27497 | the next degree( I hold) to Martyrdome? |
A27497 | to be Captaines, when they are hardly Christs souldiers, to guide the Sterne before they know how to handle the Ore? |
A27497 | who obeyes? |
A60352 | 11. and how will you avoid it? |
A60352 | Again, Art thou thy self when thou sayest, I know not what to do? |
A60352 | And shall not Saints reckon Christ so? |
A60352 | And what are Services but ungrateful? |
A60352 | Be it so, yet there is something left for you; namely, a God, can you not live upon him? |
A60352 | Can not you rejoyce in him? |
A60352 | Can you shake off the burden? |
A60352 | Do not say, I am now altogether useless and unserviceable; who is it that hath made thee so? |
A60352 | Have you Friends and Relations? |
A60352 | Have you been in the School of Christ, and taught of God, and yet such a Dunce as not to know what to do? |
A60352 | How often is the Wife a Thorn in the side of her Husband? |
A60352 | How then comes it to pass that upon this Occasion, tho''sad enough, he cryeth out of his being distressed? |
A60352 | Is it not too ordinary and common to find some Imperious and Lordly, others fretful and peevish? |
A60352 | It is He that makes Heaven sweet: What would that place be without his Company? |
A60352 | My Soul, how wilt thou be able to bear up, if it should please God to bring it to this? |
A60352 | The Conjugal Yoke will be very heavy, and pinch and gall if it be not lin''d with Love: and is there not reason? |
A60352 | The Lord Jesus knew better, and spake better, when He said, Shall I not drink of the Cup which my Father hath given me to drink of? |
A60352 | The import of the word: What may we look upon as the meaning of David, when he saith, He was distressed? |
A60352 | Was Ionathan pleasant to David? |
A60352 | Was it not from God? |
A60352 | We begin with the first of these, What was it that rendered Ionathan so very pleasant unto David? |
A60352 | What Reason was there, that so Good a Man should be in such a plunge? |
A60352 | What brought David into Distress? |
A60352 | What doth a wild Bull in a Net do when he tosseth, and kicks, and flings, but intangles himself the more? |
A60352 | What his being in Distress doth import and hold out to us? |
A60352 | What is Communion and Cohabitation without Love, but a constant Burden? |
A60352 | What meanest thou by saying, This I can not bear? |
A60352 | What rendered Ionathan so pleasant unto David? |
A60352 | What was there in the Case, that David should be so distressed? |
A60352 | Why was Ionathan so very pleasant to David? |
A60352 | Your work is before you, and will you not see it? |
A60352 | and what is it that makes them so, when they are good in themselves? |
A60352 | from whom comes it? |
A60352 | how can you help your selves? |
A60352 | how pleasant then is Iesus, far more than Ionathan was, or ever could have been? |
A60352 | i. e. What Evil hath he done, what one thing hath he done for which he deserves to dye? |
A60352 | such Riches as take unto themselves wings, and flee away, such Honour as is a vain and vanishing breath? |
A60352 | such was Absalom to David; and the Brother an Affliction and Terror to his Brother? |
A60352 | such was Iob''s Wife to him; the Child an Heart- break to his Father? |
A60352 | what hath he done? |
A87092 | And shall it not affect our hearts with grief, when such as these are taken away? |
A87092 | And when heresies are raging, who but a John should defend the truth? |
A87092 | Besides, what care have men to lay up their Treasure, when they have got it? |
A87092 | Besides, when Gods wrath is flaming, who but a Moses should stand in the gap? |
A87092 | But why a little flock? |
A87092 | Life is the best Treasure in Nature, Eternal is the best of lives, how great a Treasure must the knowledge of Christ be which is Life eternal? |
A87092 | Oh how tender should you be of them who, though weak creatures, bring the glad tidings of salvation to you? |
A87092 | Secondly, As to the Efficacy of a Treasure, what will it not do? |
A87092 | Shall the vessell be cast by because it is earthly, or shall it not rather be preferred because it is the repository of a choice treasure? |
A87092 | The Truths and Doctrines contained in it are choice and excellent, as much worth as our Souls, as Heaven, as Salvation is, nay shall I go higher? |
A87092 | Vtrumne quia testacea est secundum originem scilicet ex limo destruetur, an quia divini thesauri conditorium est extolletur? |
A87092 | What is it( oh Christian, to follow his expressions) thou mayest not learn hence? |
A87092 | What more vile then earthen vessels? |
A87092 | What that Emperour Fredrick the 3d said concerning Kings, An nescitis principes quasi signum populo expositos? |
A87092 | What therefore remaineth but that every one of us labour to have the same esteem of the Gospel, which St Paul had, and which indeed it deserveth? |
A87092 | When horrid impieties are reigning, who but an Ezekiel should warn the people? |
A87092 | Wisdom that is hid and a treasure not seen, what profit is in them both? |
A87092 | Your Fathers, where are they? |
A87092 | and ere long must be taken from you? |
A87092 | and the Prophets do they live for ever? |
A87092 | and why then should the Gospel be undervalued because they are mortall men that Preach it? |
A87092 | do you not know that they are oft times as a gazing stock to the people? |
A41543 | 2 ▪ why labour you for that which 〈 ◊ 〉 not? |
A41543 | 3. what profit hath a man of all his labours which he taketh under the Sun? |
A41543 | As that famous Painter Zeuxes, being asked why he was so accurate in drawing all his pieces? |
A41543 | But what is Eternity? |
A41543 | Faelix, quem faciunt,& c. hath his woful Example item''d thee into more Carefulness? |
A41543 | I do but sojourn here, where must I dwell and abide? |
A41543 | Lastly, proceed a little farther in thy meditations concerning Eternity; what provision and preparation hast thou made for Eternity? |
A41543 | O ye Sons of men how long will ye love varity and seek after lea ● ● ng? |
A41543 | Oh Sirs, hath this been looked after by you, your New- birth? |
A41543 | T is a very easy and a very hard Question; what is Time? |
A41543 | Things seen and not seen what are they? |
A41543 | Thou art apt to cry out in the bitterness of thy Soul, How long Lord, how long, Holy and True? |
A41543 | What are those things not seen, eternal which Christians are to look after? |
A41543 | What are those unseen eternal things which Christians look after? |
A41543 | What by Temporal and Eternal? |
A41543 | What is meant by Temporal and Eternal? |
A41543 | What is meant here by things seen and things not seen? |
A41543 | Where must I spend my Eternity, which can indeed never be spent? |
A41543 | how painful is the plucking, out but of one tooth, that stands fast in the flesh? |
A41543 | on his sword, or his burning match? |
A41543 | this world is but thy Inne, where must thy home be, in Heaven or in hell? |
A41543 | wha ● was it supported and encourage ● them? |
A41543 | what art thou provided with for thy long home in Eternity? |
A41543 | what is Eternity? |
A41543 | where will my Eternal mansion be? |
A41543 | who must be my Eternal Companions God and his Saints, or the Devil and his Angels? |
A41543 | would not this more dismay him than that could rejoyce him? |
A55741 | 5. will not God finde it out? |
A55741 | Add hereunto that our l ● fe is short and uncertain, and that which at any time may, why not now? |
A55741 | And shew themselves Athiestical? |
A55741 | And why? |
A55741 | Annanias and Saphira were stricken suddenly; and he who hath stricken thy neighbour( as many now are smitten by death suddenly) what if he smite thee? |
A55741 | But how are we fallen from the zeal and piety of the primitive times? |
A55741 | But is it for nothing that God so highly honoureth his people? |
A55741 | But what became of Tyre, that noble and ennobling City? |
A55741 | Christian souldier sleepest thou? |
A55741 | Dangerous to go to bed with a guilty conscience, what do we know whither we shall live till the morning? |
A55741 | Doth not he observe all my ways and count all my steps? |
A55741 | How sutable have been your Actions to this chief end? |
A55741 | If God had so smitten me, in what case had I been? |
A55741 | If death had come to thee that same hour, at the second watch, should he have found thee better prepaed than he was? |
A55741 | If men would do so, what would become of their lying, swearing,& forswearing cheating, couzning, and underminings? |
A55741 | If thou wilt be blessed? |
A55741 | Is it I? |
A55741 | Is it I? |
A55741 | Is not God present? |
A55741 | O baptized Christian, what dost thou sullying thy self amongst the flesh- pots of Egypt, lading thy self with thick clay, how long? |
A55741 | O where is the heart, and life, and spirit, the vivacity, the constancy and continuance in the service of God? |
A55741 | Rather was not your chief end to glorifie God and enjoy him? |
A55741 | Sathans watch and play is more used than our Saviours watch and pray? |
A55741 | Seemeth it a small thing( saith David) to be King Sauls Son in law? |
A55741 | So( say I) seemeth it to you a small thing to be the King of Sauls Sons by grace, to be his Servants? |
A55741 | The worst of men, when death comes will wish he had watched, done these and these good things, abstained from these and these evil things? |
A55741 | Were your Heaven- born souls given you to stop to this earths drudgery? |
A55741 | What dost thou here Eliah? |
A55741 | What fear is that? |
A55741 | What if thou hadst no body to accuse thee? |
A55741 | Why shouldest thou run from thine own watch to fault finde his now? |
A55741 | Your eagle minds to resort to the carrion of this world? |
A55741 | am I prepared to meet the Lord? |
A55741 | can they pray to God for a Blessing upon these courses? |
A55741 | do I perform my sentinel- charge till I be relieved? |
A55741 | do I wait all the days of mine appointed time untill my chang come? |
A55741 | drinkings, lasciviousness and vanities for why? |
A55741 | have they been for your good and the salvation of your souls? |
A55741 | how had it been with my poor soul? |
A55741 | is my soul in a watchfull frame and posture? |
A55741 | was your golden time given you to gather dross? |
A55741 | what if it should be I? |
A55741 | your noble affections to run in the dirty channels of this world? |
A39839 | And pray, why not He, O ye Jewes? |
A39839 | But because some were eminently instrumental to bring to pass the Death of that just Man, shall Wee think our selves Innocent? |
A39839 | But to be a witness to the truth am I come: At this Pilat seems to be pretty well pleased, and asketh him, What is Truth? |
A39839 | But what said our Saviour? |
A39839 | Certainly he would not, had he been a Jew, and Christ his King; yet, as his Place empowered him, he examins him, Quid fecisti? |
A39839 | Do any of the Rulers believ in him? |
A39839 | For how couldst thou style Me King, since no Man can say Jesus is the Lord but by the spirit? |
A39839 | How could ye so soon forget the Evils that he cur''d? |
A39839 | I shall only desire of such a Sinner, that he would tell me what fruit he can exspect, or ever any did reap from that Bramble, besides Gods Curs? |
A39839 | If ye go to that, what good did he not do you? |
A39839 | Is he but a Man in your judgements? |
A39839 | No, they had too much of Him already, Not this Man, but Barabbas, what more intense blindness, madness, and malice could betray it self? |
A39839 | No, whom then? |
A39839 | Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee of Me? |
A39839 | Some alwayes were the better for Him: Not this Man? |
A39839 | The empty Bellys among you, which He often fill''d; and fed? |
A39839 | What harm did he ever do you, or could ye ever find in Him? |
A39839 | What hast thou done? |
A39839 | What house did he ever enter into, but Salvation enter''d with Him? |
A39839 | What is this but to condemn the Generation of the Righteous? |
A39839 | What more lively example of this is there, than the carriage of these Jewes at this time? |
A39839 | What should I say of the unclean person, who is one of this Rout, of this Rabble too? |
A39839 | after so many Miracles wrought among you by his Divine power? |
A39839 | as if being a Prisoner, bound, and in Fetters only, was Crime enough, and deserved Death as a Malefactor? |
A39839 | had not Pilate a Finger at lest in this, from the guilt of which he cleared himself, would have been thought to do so by washing of his hands? |
A39839 | so pl ● ● gid by that Tyrant, who cryed again, Non hune, Not this man, but Barabbas: But what? |
A39839 | to raign like other Kings? |
A39839 | whom will ye that I release? |
A45546 | 2 What it is that is required? |
A45546 | And now worthy Sir, what bitter counsell could I prescribe you then this of Faith? |
A45546 | But by whom is it that Abraham was tryed? |
A45546 | But for what end, may some say, doth God tempt and try his peoole? |
A45546 | But how and by what meanes doth God try his servants? |
A45546 | But what need is there that God should for these ends try his servants? |
A45546 | Doth the God of mercie delight in cruelty, and piety it self command murther? |
A45546 | How shall I look Sarah in the fa ● e when I have slain her son? |
A45546 | How will the Heathens censure this holy cruelty, and say, there goes the man who cut the throat of his own childe? |
A45546 | I deny not but even Heathens have sacrificed themselves and their children unto death, but upon what grounds? |
A45546 | Is this the welcome thy return''d Natives have O England? |
A45546 | Shall these hands destroy the fruit of my loyns? |
A45546 | WHo slew all these? |
A45546 | What did he not know before who is Omniscient? |
A45546 | What though the world accuse me of cruelty, yet thou requirest it as a duty? |
A45546 | What, Lord, are thy decrees changable, or thy promise failable? |
A45546 | What, Lord? |
A45546 | When from strange Climates to their own they come Has''t no home for them, but their longest Home? |
A45546 | When he laments his Beauty so soon gone, Doth he not Weep for his Dead Absolom? |
A45546 | When he recounts the Wisdome of his Sonne, And Sighs, sighs he not for his Solomon? |
A45546 | When to thy long''d for Soile thy Sonnes return, Canst finde no lodging for them, but their Urn ●? |
A45546 | Who slew all these then? |
A45546 | Who slew all these? |
A45546 | Why did I so long wayt for him? |
A45546 | Why didst thou at last bestow him, if I must now part with him? |
A45546 | better shee call me a bloudy husband, then thou an undutifull servant? |
A45546 | eng Rushout, John, d. 1648? |
A45546 | entertainment in a grave? |
A45546 | how can these two stand together, Isaac shall be a father of many nations, and yet he must dye by his fathers hands? |
A45546 | is it to have him taken away by death, through some visitation of Gods hand? |
A45546 | is it to part with him and not see his face for some yeares? |
A45546 | is it to send him a far off into some strange Country? |
A45546 | must I that was the instrument of his life, become the means of his death ▪ Can not I be faithfull unto thee, unlesse I be unnaturall to my childe? |
A45546 | or if thou wilt needs have an humane sacrifice, is none but Isaac fit for thine Altar, and must none offer him but Abraham? |
A45546 | what fruit is to be expected from a dry root, or what hopes can there be in a dead Isaac? |
A45546 | why didst thou make me a father, if now I must become a murtherer of my childe? |
A45546 | will justice require the slaughter of an innocent, and canst thou in equity desire the bloud of the guiltlesse? |
A45546 | woman, what have I to do with thee? |
A66424 | And can any thing be of greater consequence than the things that are thus revealed, promised and secured? |
A66424 | And now what is the issue of all this, but that we should reflect upon it, and reflect upon our selves? |
A66424 | And what can we plead in our own defence, if at last we shall fall short of it? |
A66424 | And when a Promise is thus left us of entring into his Rest, shall not we fear, lest we come short of it? |
A66424 | But is there no relief in this case? |
A66424 | But what should I wish for that which belongs not to the state in which we are? |
A66424 | Can we have any thing more confirmed, than God bearing witness to the truth of it, with signs and wonders, and divers miracles? |
A66424 | Can we have any thing more secured, which we have not in present possession? |
A66424 | Can we think that so short a time of Rest, as the Christians had between Nero and Domitian, could be the subject of that Prophecy? |
A66424 | For how could we who have defaced the divine Image, and been Rebels against God, and have forfeited his favour, think of being restored to it? |
A66424 | Hath he said, and shall he not do it? |
A66424 | Hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? |
A66424 | How could we that are corruptible, think that we should put on incorruption? |
A66424 | How could we whose Souls are d ● praved and corrupted, think of being admitted to that state, whereinto no unclean thing can enter? |
A66424 | How miserable must be the state of Mankind, if this be all that a Man has to enjoy, all that he has to comfort him in the enjoyment? |
A66424 | Is there a possibility, a certainty of obtaining it? |
A66424 | Is there now such a State, such a Rest to be had? |
A66424 | Need we to be advised in this matter, in a matter of so great importance and absolute necessity? |
A66424 | Now what sad Reflections are these? |
A66424 | Shall I now need any farther arguments than what the Text affords, to make us cautious left we come short of this Rest? |
A66424 | Where are the laboricus Studies, the Cares and Prayers of the pious and industrious Teacher? |
A66424 | Where are the pilgrims and strangers that once wandred about, being destitute, afflicted and tormented? |
A66424 | Where are the tryals of the cruel mockings and scourgings, of bonds and imprisonment of those, of whom the World was not worthy? |
A66424 | Where is now the misery, the hunger and nakedness, the pain and anguish, the poverty and contempt of the once wretched Lazarus? |
A66424 | Where is the right hand which was cut off, the right eye that was plucked out, the body that was buffered and kept under, and brought into subjection? |
A66424 | Where is the strait gate and narrow way, the conflicts and strivings of the Self- denying Christian? |
A66424 | Where the Ministry he has fulfill''d and made proof of in his Preaching, Reproving and Exhorting with all Long- suffering and Doctrine? |
A66424 | nothing better to be expected? |
A66424 | shall I need to press the Apostle''s Exhortation any further? |
A44678 | 13. said to the Disciples round about him, What mean you to weep, and to break my Heart? |
A44678 | And is not this a good of a nobler, and more excellent kind, than we can lose by a sickness? |
A44678 | And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day? |
A44678 | And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond, on the Sabbath day? |
A44678 | And who in all this World could ever have such a loss, as they of him, dwelling in flesh among them? |
A44678 | And, as our own Dr. Lightfoot says upon that question of our Lords; Is it lawful to heal upon the Sabbath day? |
A44678 | Are you not ready to say, how can this stand with being at the same time, the object of divine pity? |
A44678 | Are you so bound, and will you not know it? |
A44678 | But what doth all this World signifie to a sickly pained Person? |
A44678 | Can it be thought heaven hath altered him to your disadvantage? |
A44678 | Do any of the Rulers believe on him? |
A44678 | Do you think the all- comprehending mind of the Son of God now first began to pity this daughter of Abraham? |
A44678 | For doth not the whole of Christianity terminate upon Eternity, and upon another State, and World? |
A44678 | Hath Heaven render''d him less merciful, and compassionate? |
A44678 | How deservedly should these bonds end with you in the chains, wherein the Devils themselves shall for ever be bound with you? |
A44678 | How ill doth this agree, and accord with the Christian Scheme and model of things? |
A44678 | How much more shall we not be subject to the father of our spirits, and live? |
A44678 | If he pity me, would he let me lye, and languish thus, in so miserable a plight, day after day, and year after year? |
A44678 | Is he less kind, benign, and less apt to do good, now he is inthroned in glory? |
A44678 | Is it a less thing, to release an holy soul from the body than from bodily distempers? |
A44678 | Is it so unkind and ill- natur''d a place? |
A44678 | Or the framing such a world as this, as great a thing, as the most stupendous miracle that ever was wrought in it? |
A44678 | Or why hath not such a course been kept afoot ever since his ascension? |
A44678 | Otherwise, is not the forming of the eye, in itself as great a thing, as to give sight to the blind? |
A44678 | Shall not I loose such a one whom Satan hath bound, that great enemy of mankind? |
A44678 | We find it expresly so said in Scripture; and who can so truly speak Gods mind as himself? |
A44678 | What else made him descend? |
A44678 | Why should not I shew my self so much the more a Friend, by how much the more he appears an Enemy, and give the earliest relief the matter can admit? |
A44678 | Why should they be smitten any more? |
A44678 | Why was it deferr''d to this time? |
A44678 | Why, what, saith he, Do not any of you loose an Ox, or an Ass from the Stall on the Sabbath day? |
A44678 | and shall not I loose a daughter of Abraham? |
A44678 | better than the case of this vile flesh, that was made out of dust, and tends thither? |
A44678 | never feel your bonds? |
A44678 | or why bound at all? |
A44678 | will you be bound all your days, and never lift up a cry to the great Redeemer and Saviour of Souls to give you release? |
A44678 | will you not say so much to him for a soul in bondage? |
A44679 | ''T is said Rehoboam forsook the Law of the Lord, and all Israel with him: And what followed? |
A44679 | ''t is horridly unjust towards our most rightful Lord, and most imprudent for our selves: Do men know what they do in this? |
A44679 | ( for his having them implies it, who ever serv''d him unsought unto?) |
A44679 | He is one that hath thereupon made it his earnest Study to know his Lords will: His first enquiry is, What wilt thou have me to do, Lord? |
A44679 | How easily accountable is it why our Lord lets his Servants suffer hard things in this World a while? |
A44679 | How little is it they do at the best? |
A44679 | How unreasonable is it either to quit the Service of our blessed Lord, or to serve him dejectedly? |
A44679 | How wicked and foolish a thing is it to refuse this Service? |
A44679 | Is not the Grave now a less gloomy thing? |
A44679 | It should make us diligent in the remaining time of our abode here: what should not the expectation of such a Welcome carry us through? |
A44679 | O how much of Spirit and Life is gone from it, when one such man dies? |
A44679 | Well done good and faithful Servant,& c. How studious should we be so to acquit our selves as he hath done? |
A44679 | What Spirit are they are of? |
A44679 | What a glorious Hoast will arise and spring up even out of one London? |
A44679 | What do we not find? |
A44679 | What ingenuous mind but knows how to value, even the( unprofitable) kindness of a mean Friend: Can the Love of a God seem little with us? |
A44679 | What may be expected by unfaithful negligent Servants that hide their Talent in a Napkin? |
A44679 | Who hath more right in us? |
A44679 | Who would think meanly of being the accepted Servant of the most high God? |
A44679 | a power to use thoughts? |
A44679 | and can we use it upon any thing more evident, more considerable, or that more concerns us? |
A44679 | and how unprofitable to him? |
A44679 | and what Cruelty they use towards their own Souls? |
A44679 | how do men drudge to the Devil? |
A44679 | of the Tombs of Martyrs, and other excellent persons( as many of them were) collected in one little spot of this Earth? |
A44679 | or do we never use it less pertinently? |
A44679 | or where will we mend our selves? |
A44679 | what Slaves are they to themselves and their own vile Lusts? |
A44679 | who would grudge to lye obscurely a while, among them with whom we expect to rise and ascend so gloriously? |
A44679 | whose right they invade and resist? |
A52250 | And are you all fat and well likeing? |
A52250 | And shall we be insensible of such a stroke? |
A52250 | And therefore God comes in and interrupts them, why what''s the matter with you, can you tell why you take on in this fashion? |
A52250 | And what those weeping times are? |
A52250 | And what was the event and issue of it? |
A52250 | And where saith he of mourning thou art mad, and of sorrow, what is it that thou doest? |
A52250 | And why for them? |
A52250 | Are there no secret Stitches at the hearts of any of you, upon this consideration? |
A52250 | Are you naked and are you not afraid? |
A52250 | Are you naked and not ashamed? |
A52250 | But have you all done this? |
A52250 | But is he gone to heaven too soon? |
A52250 | But tell me have there been answerable fruits among you, of holiness and obedience? |
A52250 | But tell me my Beloved, is he a loser any way? |
A52250 | But what Repentance did he seek with tears? |
A52250 | But will it suit with such a state of sin and danger, as the best of you are in? |
A52250 | But you will ask me, for whom shall we weep then? |
A52250 | Did they not know what they are, born to trouble, as the sparkes fly upward, so that they have a natural tendency to it? |
A52250 | Hath he his everlasting Rest too soon? |
A52250 | Have you no sense and feeling of it? |
A52250 | His glorious recompence too soon? |
A52250 | How do many men take on, when they are crost in prosecution of their lusts, and hindred in their sins, which is indeed a great mercy? |
A52250 | How hath your rich and fat pasture been cast away upon you? |
A52250 | How often are we called upon to weep in Scripture? |
A52250 | I know you lov''d him, as there was cause enough you should; but say in truth, have you Improv''d him? |
A52250 | If the earnest be so great, what will the Possession be? |
A52250 | Is he got home to his Fathers house too soon? |
A52250 | Is he with God and Christ and Angels and glorified Saints too soon? |
A52250 | Is not this best of all for him? |
A52250 | Nay, is he not an infinite gainer? |
A52250 | Oh my dear friends, what have your sins done? |
A52250 | Oh what lean souls have some of you, who have attended on his Ministry, even to his dying day? |
A52250 | Shall we have tears enough to wast upon our petty losses,& not have a tear to spend on this inestimable& irreparable one? |
A52250 | So that it may be said of you, as it was once of Israel when Moses was away, that you are naked; And what, are you in Laodicea''s case indeed? |
A52250 | There Patience is it? |
A52250 | WHat Subject fitter for this sad Occasion then a Theam of Weeping? |
A52250 | What, doth he wish that he were back again with you? |
A52250 | When such as he are hous''d, what dreadful stormes may there be like to fall? |
A52250 | Where, do you find a blessing poured out on laughter, as you do on tears and mourning? |
A52250 | Why criest thou for thine affliction? |
A52250 | Why what''s the matter? |
A52250 | Why, my beloved, have ye not other manner of things then these to grieve for? |
A52250 | and of all the wrath of God, that hath been lately manifested and reveal''d from Heaven against us, more wayes then I am able to express? |
A52250 | and oh what hard and stupid hearts have we? |
A52250 | do you not find your selves uncovered? |
A52250 | do you not know that you are naked? |
A52250 | how merciful was God to him, whom he hath taken to himself, and how severe to us, in this Stroke? |
A52250 | if the first fruits be so sweet, what will the Harvest be? |
A52250 | what Language can we better speak, or more agreeable to the dark Providence that we are under, then Sighs, and Cries, and Lamentations? |
A52250 | what hath your barrenness, and your unfruitfulness, and your Backsliding done? |
A52250 | what think you of the horrible Abominations, and woful desolations of the Land? |
A52250 | what think you of your own sins, with all their bloody aggravations? |
A52250 | when he fed you, have you prosper''d? |
A69991 | According to which Rule, how ineffably excellent was the condescending Vertue of our Great Deceased? |
A69991 | And to put off the Bowels of Mercy, what is it, but in effect to be devested of Humanity, to un- man and brutalize one''s self? |
A69991 | As Piety, in its limited sence, signifies Devotion; how constant, how regular, and how seraphick was she in this? |
A69991 | At the Celebration of every part of Divine Worship, how fixt and intent her mind? |
A69991 | How constant and uniform was her whole Practice in the several Duties of the Christian Institution? |
A69991 | How did her Practice suit to that? |
A69991 | How exactly do they agree? |
A69991 | How much more Good might, and would she have done, had she liv''d to the full Age of a Man? |
A69991 | If we chance to discern any little Blemishes in them,( for who is free from Faults and Imperfections in this imperfect state?) |
A69991 | If, as St. Paul speaks, for a good man, some would even dare to die; who would not have died for her, who was worth ten thousands of the People? |
A69991 | In this particular, how agreeable is the Character of Solomon''s Woman to my present Theme? |
A69991 | Is it any wonder then, that such a Person as this was reverenc''d and admir''d, and counted the Darling of Mankind? |
A69991 | how well do they hang together? |
A69991 | since for ought we know, it is because the Age was not worthy of such a Blessing? |
A69991 | what Floods of Tears, what Tyde of Ejulations, can swell so high as to bear a proportion equal to the Merits of so great, so good a Personage? |
A26788 | And if the faint Dawn be so reviving and comfortable, what is the Brightness of the full Day? |
A26788 | And of what concernment is it to have our Souls with God in that infinite and incomprehensible Duration? |
A26788 | Can Love forsake, can Truth deceive, can Almighty Power fail? |
A26788 | Can a Woman forget her sucking Child? |
A26788 | Can the Creature make us happy, when their Emptiness, and Anguish annex''d to it, makes our Lives miserable? |
A26788 | Can the World bring Perfection to Man, that is so incomparably short of his Imperfection? |
A26788 | Can the World give sincere Satisfaction to them? |
A26788 | Can they hope that Mercy will be their Advocate? |
A26788 | Could we see the attending Spirits that surround sick Persons in their last Hours, what a wonderful Impression would it make upon us? |
A26788 | Do ye provoke the Lord to Jealousie, are you stronger than he? |
A26788 | From filial Love proceeds a Zeal for his Glory; If I be a Father, where is my Honour? |
A26788 | He admir''d the Divine Condescension to us, often saying, Lord what is Man, what am I vile Worm to the great God? |
A26788 | His Call to the Vnconverted; how small in bulk, but how powerfull in vertue? |
A26788 | His Complaints were frequent, but who ever heard an unsubmissive word drop from his lips? |
A26788 | How dangerous then would the Condition be of naked Souls, oppos''d by over- matching Enemies, armed with Rage against them? |
A26788 | How easily would they hurry them to the Abyss, the Den of Dragons, the Prison where lost Souls are secur''d to the Day of Judgment? |
A26788 | How many Rebels and open Enemies to God are in the Pale of the Christian Church? |
A26788 | How safe are the departed Saints, when convey''d through Satan''s Territories by the Royal Guard of Angels that excel in strength? |
A26788 | How triumphantly does the Apostle express his Confidence, Who shall separate us from the Love of God? |
A26788 | I shall add further; What clearer Evidence can we have of the worth of the Soul, than from God''s Esteem, the Creator of it? |
A26788 | Is he not thy Father who bought thee? |
A26788 | Now if the foresight of them did not hinder his electing Love in its rise, can they frustrate its end, the bringing of them to Glory? |
A26788 | Now will he throw away his Treasure, or suffer the cruel Enemy to rob him of his Jewels? |
A26788 | Of what value is a Soul in God''s account, that he bought with his own Son''s Blood, the most sacred Treasure of Heaven? |
A26788 | Old Simeon is a leading Example to Believers: after he had embraced Christ in his Armes, how earnestly did he desire his Dissolution? |
A26788 | Our Saviour meekly yielded up himself to his cruel Enemies, upon this Consideration, The Cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it? |
A26788 | Shall Tribulation, or Distress, or Persecution, or Famine, or Nakedness, or Peril, or Sword? |
A26788 | The Psalmist when banish''d from the Tabernacle, breaks forth in his impatient Desires, When shall I come and appear before God? |
A26788 | The sublimest Prophet breaks forth with Wonder, Who shall declare his Generation? |
A26788 | What Heart, what Marble is in her Breast so incompassionate and unrelenting, as to neglect her helpless Infant? |
A26788 | What are all the Kingdoms and Pleasures of the World, in comparison of that Blessedness God has prepar''d for those who love him? |
A26788 | What can induce him to alter his Affection towards them? |
A26788 | What can rescue them from instant and irrecoverable Misery? |
A26788 | What richer Evidence, and more convincing Demonstration can there be of thy Love? |
A26788 | What was the design of his Counsel and Compassion, in giving his Son to be a Sacrifice for us, but to restore us to his Favour? |
A26788 | Whither will they fly from their Judg? |
A26788 | Who knows the Power of his Wrath? |
A26788 | Will a Father, a heavenly Father, be without Bowels to his own Off- spring? |
A26788 | Will he give us the Tree of Life, and not permit us to eat of the Fruit of it? |
A26788 | Will he not take them into his safe Custody? |
A26788 | Will he not with him give us all things? |
A90272 | And is not your performance of them such a sacrifice as wherewith God is not well pleased? |
A90272 | Daniel lieth down in the dust, in rest and peace, and why so? |
A90272 | Is there no oppressed person that with diligence you might relieve? |
A90272 | Neither 3 Did he come short in Righteousnesse in the administration of that high place whereto he was called? |
A90272 | No places destitute of the Gospel that might be furnished and supplyed by your industry and wisdome? |
A90272 | Some mock indeed, and say, where is the promise of his Comming? |
A90272 | What a life of labour and trouble did our deceased friend lead for many yeers in the flesh? |
A90272 | Why do we complaine? |
A90272 | Your Fathers where are they? |
A90272 | and the Prophets do they live for ever? |
A90272 | and what a sad, restlesse, and tumultuating condition upon this account doth he describe in the Verses foregoing? |
A90272 | are there no slack and slow Counties and Cities in the execution of Justice, that might be quickened by your example? |
A90272 | are there no stout offenders against God and man that might be chastized? |
A90272 | can you not finde out something of these or the like nature to be dispatched with vigour and diligence? |
A90272 | for our ovvne losse? |
A90272 | hovv vvere his dayes consumed in travel? |
A90272 | is not the residue, and fulnesse of the Spirit vvith him, vvho gave him his dismission? |
A90272 | is there no poor distressed Widow or Orphane, whose righteous Requests you might expedite and dispatch? |
A90272 | nay do not innumerable particulars in each kinde lye upon your hands? |
A90272 | what a Light did John set up in a few yeares? |
A90272 | will it be bitternesse in the end, that you so laid out your endevours? |
A90272 | with what unwearied paines and industry did our deceased friend serve his generation? |
A27364 | 1 What is meant by his going to his Fathers? |
A27364 | 2 How it may be made out, that to dye in peace is a priviledge belonging to beleevers? |
A27364 | But if my faith exempt me not from death, what avails me to be a Beleever? |
A27364 | Do all that dye peaceably, dye in peace? |
A27364 | How sweet are those holy Parlies with God in praier, and how pleasant their returns? |
A27364 | Is it not a Mercy when we have done our work, then to be called home to receive our Wages? |
A27364 | It may be some may say, how may we get into such an estate that we may be sure to dye in peace? |
A27364 | It may be some of you may be inquiring, what must I do that I may share in this branch of this Promise? |
A27364 | It may be yet some scruple might rest upon the spirit of Abraham, what shall become of me when all these evils betide my posterity? |
A27364 | Lord, to whom shall we go, thou hast the words of eternal life? |
A27364 | Probably the Searcher of all hearts saw Abraham in some doubt, why livery and seisin, or peaceable possession of that Land should be deferred so long? |
A27364 | Secondly, Doth it not savour much of Mercy to be taken away from beholding of other mens punishments? |
A27364 | Shall he deliver his soul( himself) from the hand of the grave? |
A27364 | So in old Jacob, what a mercy- admiring man was hee? |
A27364 | Then to be gathered when here we are fully ripe? |
A27364 | Thirdly, Is it not a great mercy to bee taken away from the tasting of evills in their own persons? |
A27364 | This is but his meer Phansie, for how many even with us come to gray hairs before fifty years, some before forty years of age? |
A27364 | Till Sin be removed by Repentance what peace can there be? |
A27364 | To conclude, is it not a mercy then to be called to make your account, when we have been long a preparing, and making ready for it? |
A27364 | What is meant by Burial? |
A27364 | What is meant by a good old age? |
A27364 | What is meant by going to his Fathers, or dying in peace? |
A27364 | What peace so long as iniquities remain unrepented of? |
A27364 | What peace so long as the Whoredoms of thy Mother Jezabel, and her Witchcrafts are so many? |
A27364 | What though others of his intellectuals do decay with age? |
A27364 | When Christ speaks peace to Conscience, as once to the raging Sea, peace and be still, who then can create trouble? |
A27364 | When a man hath been arraigned for his life, and after is acquitted, how is he inwardly comforted? |
A27364 | and if knit, how many fall yet before they come to be ripe? |
A27364 | but how infinitely farre fewer do live to a good old age? |
A27364 | that they may not feel the smart of grievous and direfull Judgements? |
A27364 | then to come to the Grave in a full age, like a shock of Corn comes in his season? |
A27364 | was it not upon this account that the long liv''d Patriarches were taken away by death, before the flood came? |
A27364 | where how doth he bewail himself,& yet after repentance, what an useful Instrument was he in the Church of Christ? |
A65312 | * Animula, vagula, blandula, quae nunc abibis in loca? |
A65312 | * Parùm viae quid multum viati ● i? |
A65312 | 14, Knowing that shortly I must put off this my Tabernacle: And how did his love to the World dye? |
A65312 | 3, Will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? |
A65312 | 5, The Prophets, do they live for ever? |
A65312 | Account with your selves about making your Will: Time is short, you may dye before night; have you made your Will? |
A65312 | Account with your selves about your Debts? |
A65312 | And can nothing quench your thirst but Christs Blood? |
A65312 | Are your Evidences for Heaven ready? |
A65312 | Do you desire Christ for himself; As Beauty is loved for it self? |
A65312 | Every one of us are Stewards, and God will call us to a reckoning, and say, What have you done with the Talent of Time I intrusted you with? |
A65312 | God will say, What have you done with your Time? |
A65312 | He can think, What if every mountain were a Pearl, every flower a Ruby, every sand in the Sea a Diamond, the whole Globe a shining Chrysolite? |
A65312 | How shall I look my Judg in the face? |
A65312 | How should we improve this short time? |
A65312 | I mean in a Spiritual sense, have you given up your Will to God, and by solemn vow set Seal to the Will? |
A65312 | In what sense is the time of life short? |
A65312 | Is Time short? |
A65312 | Is Time so curtail''d and shortned? |
A65312 | Quid est diù vivere, nisi diu Torqutri? |
A65312 | Shall not he which is cloathed with Mortality, be cloathed with Humility? |
A65312 | Suppose a mans Lease were ready to expire, and he should fall a building and planting, would not he be judged indiscreet? |
A65312 | The time is short, why should we love that over- much, which we can not keep over- long? |
A65312 | They have a short Feast, but a long Reckoning: for a drop of mirth, they must drink a Sea of wrath: and Who knows the power of that wrath? |
A65312 | What a dreadful account will they have to give, who have nothing to shew God but their Treasons? |
A65312 | What advantage will accrew to us by often thinking of our short stay here? |
A65312 | What is become of their Intellectuals, have they sinned away Reason as well as Conscience? |
A65312 | What needs a long provision for a short way*? |
A65312 | What reward can be expected when there is no work done? |
A65312 | Who would covet that much, which hath neither Contentment nor Continuance? |
A65312 | Who would envy the wicked, their honour, or pleasure? |
A65312 | Why should we so toil about the World, as if we were to live here ever? |
A65312 | Why then do men dream of an Earthly Eternity? |
A65312 | and, Is your desire quickned into endeavour*? |
A65312 | are your debts paid, your sins pardoned? |
A65312 | shall I now be sinning, when to morrow I may be dying? |
A65312 | who is crowned that never fights? |
A87089 | Blessed Jesus, thou thinkest it no robbery to be equall with God, and dost thou here, as it were, equalize thy selfe to a robber? |
A87089 | But it will still be objected, how can this be verified? |
A87089 | Doest thou enjoy the pleasures of life? |
A87089 | Finally, art thou advanced to an high estate in this world? |
A87089 | Have you not sometimes seene a sturdy Oak quickly blown downe by a violent winde? |
A87089 | Nay, to come nearer, suppose Christ should come by death to any of us here present, this night, this evening, this houre, are we ready for him? |
A87089 | Oh how unwilling is he to goe out of the world, whose heart is glued to it? |
A87089 | Quid est lumbos ac incto ●? |
A87089 | Thou didst tax the Multitude for coming against thee as a Thief, and doest thou here speake of thy selfe as if thou wert a Thief? |
A87089 | Thou promisest to prepare thy self to morrow; but what if thou diest to day? |
A87089 | We feel no infirmity, and therefore feare not mortality: And yet how often doth Christ come by death in such an houre? |
A87089 | What need we regard the words, or feare the threats of this Carpenters Sonne? |
A87089 | a strong and tall Vessell presently sunke by a leake? |
A87089 | could we give up our accounts with joy, and look him in the face with comfort? |
A87089 | nay, who can justly promise to himselfe the next moment? |
A87089 | thou callest thy self, and not without good reason, a little after this, Lord, and can the Lord of the house become a Thief, the Owner a Robber? |
A87089 | whilest our bones are moystned with marrow? |
A57376 | ( f) Ad hoc enim nati sumus, ut maneamus aeterni? |
A57376 | ( q) Again; 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? |
A57376 | ( z) Hence; Why should they that are Christ''s, be either weary of Life, or afraid of Death? |
A57376 | And what Consolatory Arguments may you not readily suggest unto your selves? |
A57376 | Are all things theirs: whether Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the VVorld, or LIFE, or DEATH, or things present, or things to come, Are all theirs? |
A57376 | Are not both theirs? |
A57376 | Are they dead? |
A57376 | Are we born( that I may use Hierom''s words to Paula upon the death of her daughter Blesilla,) that we should here abide eternally? |
A57376 | But what are all these? |
A57376 | Especially when both of them are of a spiritual and eternal concernment? |
A57376 | He that spared not his own Son, but gave him up freely for them; how shall ● e not with him also freely give them all things? |
A57376 | Hence, What a shame is it for Christians to have the least irksom or undervaluing thought of Christianity? |
A57376 | Hence, Who would not now study and strive to become Christ''s indeed? |
A57376 | How Death is theirs, as well as Life? |
A57376 | How Life is theirs'', that are Christ''s? |
A57376 | How is Death theirs, that are Christ''s? |
A57376 | How is Life theirs, that are Christ''s? |
A57376 | OF whom speaks the Apostle these high things? |
A57376 | Shall not life be theirs, and Death theirs, and all things theirs for good? |
A57376 | Their Barren time, wherein they bring forth nothing but briars and thorns, fruits of Sodom and Gomorrha, and all pernicious works of the flesh? |
A57376 | Their Life in this world, what is it else, but Their sinful Seed- time to the flesh? |
A57376 | Their declining time, wherein they waxe worse and worse? |
A57376 | Their fatal Red- Sea, overwhelming them for ever? |
A57376 | Their striving time onely after earthly enjoyments? |
A57376 | Their trying time, to detect and draw forth their vileness? |
A57376 | Their utter loss of all enjoyments on Earth, and of all hopes of Heaven? |
A57376 | Their woful change of painted Felicities, for real Miseries? |
A57376 | Their wretched departure from their wicked Bodies, till both Souls and Bodies shall depart from Christ? |
A57376 | Their wretched working and trading time in iniquity? |
A57376 | Therefore, if God be thus for them; what shall prevailingly be against them? |
A57376 | Therefore, when others say; Who will shew us good? |
A57376 | What wise man is weary of his welfare; or afraid of his Advantages? |
A57376 | What''s here meant by Life and Death? |
A57376 | What''s here meant by Life and Death? |
A57376 | What? |
A57376 | Whence is it, That thus Life and Death become theirs that are Christ''s? |
A57376 | Whence it comes to pass, that Life and Death are thus theirs, who themselves are Christ''s? |
A57376 | Why? |
A57376 | and Christ God''s? |
A57376 | and theirs for the Best? |
A57376 | and they Christs? |
A57376 | whether of Father, Mother, Husband, Wife,& c. Are they alive? |
A32083 | A Fever( such as made this Spectacle of Mortality) may quickly send us after him, who is lately gone unto the Grave: And what comes next? |
A32083 | And Oh what account shall we be able to give to the God that sent us hither, if we mind not the Work for which he sent us? |
A32083 | And as for those of us who have in earnest begun our work, how little of it have we done? |
A32083 | And can there be any thing more evident than this? |
A32083 | And can we then think that we were design''d to be Idle? |
A32083 | And how unaccountable is the latter Instance of Folly, when our Day, if prolong''d to the utmost Period, is so exceeding short? |
A32083 | And need I go to prove this to you? |
A32083 | And shall we then refuse to think these things over again in our Secret Retirements? |
A32083 | And yet how carelessly and negligently do the most live? |
A32083 | But what little Reason is there for the former Complaint, when our Day suffices for our Work? |
A32083 | Can any One, I say, that will give himself leave to think, imagine this to be Work fit for so Noble a Creature as Man to be sent into this World for? |
A32083 | Do we not find that we have Active Natures, Noble Powers, Large Capacities, and Boundless Cravings? |
A32083 | Do we not see all the Creatures, in their several Ranks, according to their Capacities, at work about us? |
A32083 | For who knows what is coming upon us? |
A32083 | God set him a Work for a little while, and then call''d him away; and hath not this a Voice, and that to us particularly? |
A32083 | How easily may a Man, when the Sun Rises in the Morning, fore- see its Setting, when the Light will be succeeded by Darkness, the Day by Night? |
A32083 | How many of us have liv''d the half; nay, two thirds; nay, almost the whole of our day, and are yet to begin our great Work? |
A32083 | How short is our Day, compar''d with the Days of Eternity? |
A32083 | If we can find time now for every thing else but to mind our main Concern, how shall we dare to look God in the Face another day? |
A32083 | Is it so uncertain, and shall we dare to delay? |
A32083 | Is our working Day so short, and can we then find any of it to lose? |
A32083 | Nay, what is our Day now, to that of those who liv''d in the first Ages of the World, but as a short Dream, compar''d to a long Summer''s Day? |
A32083 | What Time, may in be demanded, have such as they to do any Work in? |
A32083 | What shall we do in opposition to the Scepticism by which we find so many unravell''d and undone? |
A32083 | What shall we do to recover the Power of Godliness, of which our Fathers tell us so much, tho we can see so little, it being almost lost? |
A32083 | What shall we do to revive True, Generous, Catholick Christianity? |
A32083 | What shall we do to root out those Prejudices which have so long been rivetted in many peoples minds? |
A32083 | What shall we do to stem that Tide of Atheism and Irreligion, that hath overflown us? |
A32083 | Who that will give way to Consideration, but must hereupon be provok''d to take up some such Resolution as this? |
A32083 | Who then can tell at what Age his Day may end? |
A32083 | Would we not have this to be our case? |
A32083 | at what time his Sun may set? |
A32083 | how is it done, as''t were by halves? |
A32083 | just as if they thought their Day would last always? |
A32083 | to prog for Wealth, and weary himself in heaping together a few Bags of perishing Dust? |
A32083 | when so many Thousands of unforeseen Casualties, Disorders or Distempers may put an end to it? |
A70654 | But how comes the Church to be thus empty? |
A70654 | But now which of us laies these things to heart? |
A70654 | But stay, profane and wicked man,( if any such be here) and let me a little reason with thee: What such cause is there of thy rejoicing? |
A70654 | God bee praised for it, his learning and parts were imployed onely for the hurt of the Church of Christ: Is such an one gone? |
A70654 | How gone? |
A70654 | How often was his life in danger? |
A70654 | May I not say, as David to the People, Rent your Clothes, and gird you with Sackcloth, and mourne before Abner? |
A70654 | Were they apostatised? |
A70654 | Who knows not all this to bee true, who knevv this Mans conversation? |
A70654 | and what He meanes to doe with us? |
A70654 | art thou a gainer by their deaths? |
A70654 | blessed be God, who hath rid his Church of a great enemy: Is such a rich Mandead? |
A70654 | dost thou imagine to rest more safely, because the pillars of the house which covers thee are taken away? |
A70654 | had she never any better store? |
A70654 | had they voluntarily left her? |
A70654 | or dost thou conceive that God hath taken them away to gratifie thee? |
A70654 | or, what we have done to provoke him thus far against us? |
A70654 | the world is well rid of a griping Usurer, a cruell Oppressor, a Mammonist, who had his portion in this World: Is such a great Schollar dead? |
A70654 | vvhat a World of threats and menaces have bin sent Him from time to time? |
A70654 | what great man is this day fallenin our Israell? |
A70654 | who considereth the bitter things which God writes against us? |

A68088 | And if he were content to do the one, how much more we the other? |
A68088 | And if it be matter of much joy to haue Christ with vs here, what will it be to abide for euer with him there f? |
A68088 | And shall we then be vnwilling to follow him to our eternall glory, to our endles good? |
A68088 | And therefore litle reason hath he to feare or abhor death, much cause to affect it, and cheerefully to expect it? |
A68088 | And what speake I of diseases, or of other diseases? |
A68088 | Do we loue life? |
A68088 | For how can a man desire what he feareth m? |
A68088 | For how can we desire to goe after them, if we mourne for them, as if some euill had befallen them? |
A68088 | For what cause or reason should Christian men haue to desire death, if they were to goe to such a place after death? |
A68088 | If he counted it meat and drinke to do that for our good e, how much more should we desire to do this for our own good? |

A01547 | And indeed, whom should children in distresse and danger resort and seeke to, for succour, reliefe, support, and protection, but to their Parents? |
A01547 | And so much for the first Question to be considered of, Whether thou hast power, or no, to dispose of thy soule? |
A01547 | And surely, as Salvian well saith; t What can be more just? |
A01547 | And to whom then should it be returned againe, but to him, from whom it came? |
A01547 | And whereas she had pretie skill in matter of Physick and Chirurgerie,( as indeed what was she not skilfull in?) |
A01547 | And whom intendest thou to bequeath it unto? |
A01547 | And whom is the Soule fittest to be recommended unto, but to him who hath most interest in it, having q payd such a price for it? |
A01547 | And whom then may the Soule better for safetie betake it selfe to, then to him, that hath undertaken to save it? |
A01547 | But what finde we in the same place, and in the very next words? |
A01547 | Doest thou intend then to bequeath thy soule unt ● God? |
A01547 | First, I say, Whether it be in thy power to dispose of it? |
A01547 | First, art thou a Free- man? |
A01547 | For can a man by will demise, devise, or dispose of that, that he hath mortgaged, yea, that he hath made sale of before? |
A01547 | For, how can he have ought as his owne, who himselfe is not his owne, but anothers? |
A01547 | For, z What shall it avail ● a man, saith our Saviour, to win the whole world, if he lose his owne soule? |
A01547 | How is that done? |
A01547 | How should such persons be able to save others, as had not might enough to save themselves? |
A01547 | Is suc ● a soule fit to be and abide with God in heaven, where i ● h nothing but holinesse, where i no uncleane thing ca ● enter? |
A01547 | Or how should that be? |
A01547 | Quam cha ● as ● ● ● Christo animatua, pro quâ posuit animam suam? |
A01547 | Quare? |
A01547 | Secondly, hast thou not made sale of thy soule alreadie? |
A01547 | The Apostle telleth thee: a Doe you not know, saith he, that whomsoever you obey, his servants you are, whom you doe obey? |
A01547 | The other, Whether he will be willing to accept of it, or no? |
A01547 | Thou wilt say to me, it may be, How may that be done? |
A01547 | V ● figam orationem tuam in auribus meis? |
A01547 | What should God doe with a foule, a filthie, a prophane, an impure a sottish, a beastly, a brutish, a swinish soule? |
A01547 | Wouldest thou know then, how this so weightie a worke may be effected? |
A01547 | Wouldest thou then be free, and have power to dispose of thy soule, when thou art making of thy will? |
A01547 | Wouldst thou resigne and give up thy soule unto God, at thy going out of the world, with good assurance of gracious acceptance with him? |
A01547 | Yea, but here two Questions may be mooved, and a two- fold Doubt made: The one, Whether thou hast power to dispose of it, or no? |
A01547 | Yea, but how may I know, whether I be so, or no? |
A01547 | ba ejus, ● quo vis percipi lachrymatuas? |

A01547 | how carefull to keepe it faire and cleane, when thou shouldest at some time, as occasion is, weare it and make use of it? |
A01547 | or can he conceive the least hope, that God should accept of it? |
A01547 | or so sottish, and void of common sense, as to imagine once, that such a person as he is would accept of such a gift? |
A01547 | or what shall he give in exchange for his soule? |

A96652 | 19. we reade that they were stoned as malefactors, was not Christ counted a Prophet? |
A96652 | 32. he that spared not his owne Son but gave him to death for us, shall he not with him give us all things else that are necessary? |
A96652 | Againe, art thou to come unto the Temple of the Lord? |
A96652 | And I pray see if he bee not a great loser that gaines a world and loses his Soule? |
A96652 | And wilt thou be so carelesse of my honour, and of thy owne salvation? |
A96652 | Art thou to come unto the Lord by Prayer? |
A96652 | Art thou to receive the Sacrament of the Lords Supper? |
A96652 | But then as the Souldiers said to John the Baptist, Master what shall wee doe? |
A96652 | But who are you? |
A96652 | First, how uncertaine is honour? |
A96652 | For what face is there, bee it never so beautifull in youth, but if it live long it will be plowed with the furrows of old age? |
A96652 | For what shall it profit a man if he win the whole world, and lose his owne soule? |
A96652 | Have I honored thee so much? |
A96652 | Have we such great cause to seeke diligently after the salvation of our soules? |
A96652 | In a word, art thou a beleever, and hast embraced the Faith of Christ? |
A96652 | Is it not lawfull to seeke at all after the things of this life? |
A96652 | Now if one of these make an enemy terrible, how terrible will that enemy bee, in whom all these foure meete? |
A96652 | Now therefore, as when Monica( Austens mother) heard an excellent discourse of the joyes of heaven, sayd, Quid facio hic? |
A96652 | O for how little have I lost a kingdome? |
A96652 | Quid aliud est anima quam Deus hospitans in corpore humano? |
A96652 | Quid de te dicam? |
A96652 | So may I say covet or seeke the best counsell you can, and you can not find better then this in my text: For what counsell is like it? |
A96652 | What and thou my son? |
A96652 | What doe I heere on earth? |
A96652 | What is it that advances the calling of the Ministery above other callings but only this, that it tends to the good of man''s Soule? |
A96652 | What shall I say more? |
A96652 | or what recompence or exchange shall a man give for his soule? |
A96652 | so say I, what doe we heere, planting our affections on the things of this life? |
A96652 | what other thing is the Soule, but God lodging in the body? |
A96652 | what shall I say of thee? |
A96103 | ''t is certain we shall depart, but the question is whether shall we go to Christ? |
A96103 | * Egredere anima, egredere; quid times? |
A96103 | * Hac luce privabor, his orbabor bonis? |
A96103 | * Hiliaron chides himself that he was no more willing to die; Go forth my soul, what fearest thou? |
A96103 | * It was the speech of Axiochus the Philosopher when he was to dye, Shall I be deprived of this light? |
A96103 | 17. how short, in respect of eternity? |
A96103 | But there is much deceit about this grace? |
A96103 | Do we endure no pain at all in our life? |
A96103 | How is a believer tyred out with his corruptions? |
A96103 | How is that? |
A96103 | How light is death ▪ compar''d with the weight of glory? |
A96103 | How may that be known? |
A96103 | Is it not a grievous thing for a Virgin to have her chastity daily assaulted? |
A96103 | Is it not sad to have the Devils bullets continually flying about our ears? |
A96103 | Is my strength( saith Job) the strength of stones? |
A96103 | Let us then put our selves upon a scrutiny and trial whether we are persons that shall go to Christ when we dye? |
A96103 | No wonder then a believer longs to depart out of this life; why should he fear that which frees him from fear? |
A96103 | Our sinnes; who can look into his own heart with dry eyes? |
A96103 | Some ask the question how and in what manner we shall see Christ, whether we shall see his God- head with bodily eyes? |
A96103 | The Devil hath his bad wares, and counterfeit graces to put off; how therefore shall we know a true faith from a false and spurious? |
A96103 | Thus in gathering riches, how is the head and heart prick''d with care? |
A96103 | What are a few pangs of death, compar''d with the pangs of a guilty conscience, or with the flames of hell, which God hath freed a believer from? |
A96103 | Why should we mourn excessively for them who are blessed? |
A96103 | Why should we weep immoderately for them who have all teares wiped from their eyes? |
A96103 | and is there not great reason why a child of God should desire to depart? |
A96103 | are they in Christ that hate him in his Ministers, in his Ordinances? |
A96103 | is it good being among the briars? |
A96103 | nought but weep, sad Muse? |
A96103 | shall I leave all my sweet delights? |
A96103 | the sweet Rose of grace doth not grow without its prickles? |
A96103 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
A41485 | 13. who is hee that shall harme you: yea, if we doe well, who will or can harme us, or our religion? |
A41485 | 33. dyed Abner as a foole dyeth? |
A41485 | And what becomes of the causalitie, or efficiencie of these? |
A41485 | And what was this( in effect) but to undertake to reconcile Christ and Belial: and to divide Christ in, or against himselfe? |
A41485 | As one said, if theeves will rise at midnight to murther men, shall not men bee willing to bee awakened to save their lives? |
A41485 | Does the wilde Assebray when he hath grasse? |
A41485 | First, the Author of that precious treasure for which they were so earnestly to contend? |
A41485 | For the first: doe not the hearts of farre the greater part of men and women, sit loose to this great businesse of Heaven? |
A41485 | Hath the Lord( saith Samuel) as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voyce of the Lord? |
A41485 | If the Lord Christ be risen up to speake in this case, shall not all the earth keepe silence before him? |
A41485 | Is there any other kinde of running in this race of Christian profession amongst us, than as if men did not much care whether they obtained, or no? |
A41485 | It is God that justifieth( saith Paul in another case) who shall condemne? |
A41485 | Lay hold on it: but where is it, that a man may lay hold? |
A41485 | May not all the world serve their turnes out of us? |
A41485 | Now how or why should God bee with them? |
A41485 | Or doth the Oxe low over his fodder? |
A41485 | Or is there any true excellencie or worth in such a thing? |
A41485 | The meaning of the promise may be, that Gods people who should be all taught of him? |
A41485 | Therefore how is this any ground or reason of the point? |
A41485 | Therefore who in this case shall bee judge where the guilt lies? |
A41485 | This night( saith God to the rich man) they shall fetch away thy foule( i. thy life) and then whose shall these things bee which thou hast provided? |
A41485 | What neede you quicken him that maketh haste? |
A41485 | What needeth this waste? |
A41485 | What was Balaams work for the doing wherof, he should have beene so richly and royally paid? |
A41485 | What would it have beene unto him? |

A41485 | Where friends? |
A41485 | Where is there a man amongst many, whose heart is to the worke indeed? |
A41485 | Where is thy estate? |
A41485 | Where libertie? |
A41485 | Where life? |
A41485 | Who going but on foote themselves, are still pulling others from their horses? |
A41485 | Who labors for this bread that perisheth not, as if it were bread indeed? |
A41485 | Why, what if God had had his wish or desire herein? |
A41485 | if we neglect so great a salvation? |
A41485 | sitteth still, or sleepeth? |
A41485 | whose shall all these be?) |
A70131 | And Shall? |
A70131 | And flying Life, can be but mock''d with Death? |
A70131 | And is indeed the brave Bertudor gone? |
A70131 | Did you e''er find unhappy News untrue? |

A70131 | Shall Fame amidst such Merit silent lye? |
A70131 | Shall Time or Rage be suffer''d to efface The Mem''ry of this best of British Race? |
A70131 | Shall e''er the Springs that water Grief, be dry? |
A70131 | Stemming the Tide of violated Laws, Till he has made the Just, the Prosp''rous Cause? |
A70131 | That thus YOU forward look among the Fates, And seem a Second Providence to States? |
A70131 | VVhat shall we say? |
A70131 | What comfort have we, towards the Goal to strive, If thus the Stream of Fate at Random drive? |
A70131 | What un- foreseen and sudden stroak of Fate Is this, that Nature sinks beneath the Weight? |

A70131 | — How fares my Mourning Friend? |
A32058 | And can not the Almighty God do this? |
A32058 | And what are Honours but heaps of dung? |
A32058 | But you will demand; In what respects may the body be said to be a vile body? |
A32058 | Doth not, if such a part of goodness fall, Goodnesses common spirit convey to all A members sadness? |
A32058 | From Paul to Littleton or Cook? |
A32058 | How is it possible that ever these bodies of ours should rise again, and these vile bodies be made like unto the glorious body of Christ? |
A32058 | How quite contrary to this do most people live? |
A32058 | How will they befool one another? |
A32058 | I''n''t the Church throughout Its body pained when an Eie''s put out? |
A32058 | IS BOLTON dead? |
A32058 | If there were a Physician here upon earth that could cure all your bodily diseases and deformities, and make them immortall, how would you prize him? |
A32058 | Many will help it on, but who''le bemoan A sad Church rent into division? |
A32058 | Shall all bodies be made thus glorious? |
A32058 | Such searching fires earths mixture do proclaime ▪ When, like some wandring fires, from book to book Skipt it? |
A32058 | That we might feel, or fit our selves to dy? |
A32058 | The body is made of dust, and who ever advanced dust? |
A32058 | Was it death''s mercy, or deaths cruelty? |
A32058 | What are Riches but brighter dust? |
A32058 | What are the Characters of those men and women, whose vile bodies shall be made like unto the glorious body of Christ? |
A32058 | What are those transfigurations and transformations that Christ shall make in our bodies at this day? |
A32058 | What is Man but handsome mudd and guilded rottenness? |
A32058 | What is death, but a pulling down of the house of our bodies? |
A32058 | What is every night, but the grave( as it were) of the dayes light? |
A32058 | What is that change that Christ shall make in our vile bodies at the resurrection? |
A32058 | What is the morning, but the resurrection of the day? |
A32058 | What is winter, but the death( as it were) of fruits? |

A32058 | Will you abuse that body that is the Temple of the holy Ghost to sinne and iniquity? |
A32058 | Your fathers where are they? |
A32058 | and the Prophets do they live for ever? |
A32058 | and what is the resurrection, but the building up of the same house more gloriously? |
A32058 | and what the spring, but the resurrection of them? |
A32058 | what is this metamorphosis, wherein doth it consist? |
A32058 | will you take the members of Christ, and make them members of an harlot? |
A44540 | And doest thou talk like a man of reason, Sinner? |
A44540 | And doth the clearest manifestation of Heaven add no weight to your guilt and stubborness? |
A44540 | Are these o ● ● ward Goods indeed the things thou chusest for thy treasure? |
A44540 | Are you within reach of the Crown, and will you lay down your weapons? |
A44540 | Are you within sight of the Haven, and will you suffer shipwrack? |
A44540 | Can you see Philosophers contemn this Vanity, and dare you be in love with it? |
A44540 | Doth the whole Creation hope to be deliver''d from her bondage? |
A44540 | Hast thou a soul capable of grasping a God, and dost thou run into the embraces of an Idol? |
A44540 | Hath God given thee no higher faculties? |
A44540 | Hath not he endow''d thee with nobler desires? |
A44540 | Have not you read of whited Sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and of all uncleanness? |
A44540 | Have you fought the good fight so long, and will you give over now? |
A44540 | How should he continue sound long that hath so many enemies within, and without him, to shatter his earthly Tabernacle into dust and atoms? |
A44540 | If a Beast could speak, would not this be his language? |
A44540 | If unwillingness to endure pain were a sufficient bar to justice, what Malefactor would be put to death? |
A44540 | If you turn the grace of God into wantonness, will God play with it, do you think, as you do? |
A44540 | Shall I leave a certain satisfaction for I know not what? |
A44540 | Shall a Pagan look on these outward glories as unworthy of his affections, and will you suffer yours to be entangled with them? |
A44540 | Thy Soul must have an Anchor that can give it rest, and will these thorns and bryars do it? |
A44540 | Thy Soul must have an individual companion that will never leave it nor forsake it, and will these deceitful props stand by it at the great Tribunal? |
A44540 | Thy soul wants an Everlasting object; and are these the things that will endure for ever? |
A44540 | Where are the mighty Honorable men, who have made whole Nations tremble, and shook the habitable World into subjection? |
A44540 | Who can express the innumerable disasters, discontents, and vexations life is subject and expos''d unto? |
A44540 | Will God let your unprofitableness under the richest means of grace go unpunish''d? |
A44540 | Will not their temperance and abstinence condemn your greediness after these perishable objects? |
A44540 | Will not they be your Judges one day? |
A44540 | Will not they shame you, that did more by the strength of nature, than you with all the encouragements of the Holy Ghost? |
A44540 | Will not this aggravate your neglect, and change your Rods into Scorpions? |
A44540 | Will not this fill your faces with greater confusion? |
A44540 | Will not this make your furnace hotter? |
A44540 | Will you do less than Pagans? |
A44540 | Will you fall short of Men that never heard the Gospel? |
A44540 | Will you sink beneath those that never had any other light but what the glimmering Candle of Nature gave them? |
A44540 | and are these Butterflies, that perish in the handling, fit to ingross thy affections? |
A44540 | for a thing uncertain and out of sight? |
A44540 | what are they all but vanity in grain? |
A43127 | And I would ask a prophane and impenitent person, how he thinks he can bear the pomp of the last tribunal? |
A43127 | And that is, that none considereth in his heart, I have burnt part of it in the fire, and shall I make the residue of it an abomination? |
A43127 | And what great pleasure is it that we have from vice? |
A43127 | But what if these things were only probabilities and conjectures? |
A43127 | Have I not begun my preparation for death till this day, and yet for ought I know this may be the very last day of my life? |
A43127 | I then began to examine him as to the state of his Soul, what sense he had of his sins? |
A43127 | Is there then no thought, or labour in, or beyond the grave? |
A43127 | Let us see then what use wisdom would make of such a consideration as this; would it pass this little time it has given it to no purpose? |
A43127 | a pious life would still be the most advantageous conclusion we could deduce from this; for what do we loose by it? |
A43127 | and can we live here, as if we had nothing to do, or nothing but what we might defer till a future state? |
A43127 | and do we not all act thus in those affairs that relate to our temporal concerns? |
A43127 | and how then should it not be prudence to judge alike with reference to our eternal ones? |
A43127 | and if this opportunity being once lost, there be no other to retrieve our hopes, does not common reason urge us immediately to embrace and employ it? |
A43127 | and what if Fortune smile upon us here for a moment? |
A43127 | and what remorse for having at any time offended God? |
A43127 | and whether he were perswaded of the necessity of repentance and amendment of life in order to gain the Salvation purchased by Iesus Christ? |
A43127 | does it ballance the dismal apprehensions we have upon a sickbed, or upon approaching death? |
A43127 | if in the mean time our hopes reach no farther, and death is to put an end both to our grandeur and our expectation? |
A43127 | if the time we have to stay be but short, is it not just and fit that we be cautious of loosing and misapplying it? |
A43127 | if we are sure in the end to find a lasting comfort, to have all our tears wiped off, and an admittance given us into the joy of our Lord? |
A43127 | is there nothing that can avail us towards joy in the world to come, but our passing of our days on earth in a conscientious discharge of our duty? |
A43127 | or for so short a time? |
A43127 | or to wicked ones? |
A43127 | or what do we gain by the contrary? |
A43127 | or what if it does? |
A43127 | shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? |
A43127 | shall I gratify my own follies and vices, and in the hurry of them fancy I live for a moment, and so be carried away blindly into everlasting Death? |
A43127 | what if all these join together to make our journey uneasy? |
A43127 | what if the world frown upon us, and we meet with disappointments in our designs, necessity in our fortune and pains and diseases in our bodies? |
A43127 | what if we are feared or envy''d, caressed or loved by those about us? |
A43127 | what if we have health of body, plentiful estates and fair reputations? |
A43127 | what if we were not fully assured that there were to be a future state, but only apprehended and dreaded it? |
A43127 | what thoughts would be raised in him from the sight of a distant Heaven, and what sense he would have of the torments of a present Hell? |
A43127 | whether he gave credit to the Miracles that are there recorded; and lookt upon them as attestations of the truth of the Christian Religion? |
A43127 | would it carelessly let slip the opportunities of repentance and amendment, or render them yet more difficult by affected and habitual impieties? |
A43127 | would it neglect its work or add to it? |
A43127 | would it study methods and contrivances to waste and mispend it? |
A43127 | would not any man that reflects seriously on this be apt to say to himself, shall I spend my thoughts or contrivance for that which profiteth nothing? |
A60355 | A Legion of lusts which war against the Soul; who indeed can tell the number of them? |
A60355 | And do you seriously consider how much this stands God in? |
A60355 | And that not only between one faculty and another, but between the same faculty and itself? |
A60355 | Are there any of you that have got good hope through grace, that have had your Faith of Adherence crowned with that of Assurance? |
A60355 | But what of all that? |
A60355 | But what say you, is there the Company of two Armies in you? |
A60355 | Come, Christians, what report can you ● … ake? |
A60355 | Do you feel strugglings in you as R ● … bekah once did in her womb? |
A60355 | First then, What are those things which the holy Soul doth after Death rest from? |
A60355 | H ● … bespeaks her thus; Return, return, O Shulamite ▪ return, return, that w ● … may look upon thee: What will ye see in the Shulamite? |
A60355 | How many are there that have Vipers and vexations in their bosoms? |
A60355 | How many comfortable Answers hath he given? |
A60355 | How many messages of peace have been brought to you by his Ministers and Spirit? |
A60355 | How many rich tokens hath he blest you with, every one of greater value than an Orient Pearl, or glistering Diamond? |
A60355 | How much more may you be of the same mind? |
A60355 | How now Israel, what is the meaning of this language? |
A60355 | I beseech you learn to be wise, it is, indeed it is high time, if you will not be wise now, when will you? |
A60355 | If a man die, saith Iob, shall he live again? |
A60355 | If messages be so delicious, what are the closest embraces? |
A60355 | If there be such conveyances made by the Pipes of Ordinances and Duties, what is there in him, in whom are all my Springs? |
A60355 | Is there a Law in your minds warring against that Law of Sin and Death which is in your members? |
A60355 | Is there a Spirit within you lusting against the flesh; is there a contest and combating within you? |
A60355 | Is there such a sight as this to be seen ▪ I mean, to be seen in your Souls? |
A60355 | Is there the company of two Armies? |
A60355 | Look where you ar ● … sinners; in a state of sin and wrath: and is it good to be so? |
A60355 | Look whithe ● … you are going, is it not to Hell? |
A60355 | O Gene ● … tion, see the word of the Lord, have I been a wilderness unto Israel, or a L ● … of darkness? |
A60355 | Peter 〈 ◊ 〉 the name of the rest made this reply, Lord, to whom shall we go? |
A60355 | Remember it, O Christians? |
A60355 | The Question will be, What are we here to understand by Rest? |
A60355 | They had gone far from him, and walked after vanity, and were become vain: But whither did they go, when they left God? |
A60355 | We are now refreshed with his beams, and secured by his shadow, but what will he be, and what will he do? |
A60355 | What are the properties of that rest, which the holy Soul shall then be put into the possession of? |
A60355 | What is it that doth displease yo ● … Wherein have I offended you? |
A60355 | What is yet to come? |
A60355 | What then? |
A60355 | What those things are, from which the Soul doth after Death rest? |
A60355 | What, will you co ● … ter? |
A60355 | Whom have I in Heaven but thee? |
A60355 | and do you think it will be good to b ● … there? |
A60355 | and then how well may you argue thus with your selves, If there be so much coming from God, what is there in God? |
A60355 | charge me if you can; what have I 〈 ◊ 〉 or what have I done, what cause I have given you? |
A60355 | do not you find that this 〈 ◊ 〉 the language, and these the breathings of your Souls? |
A60355 | what account can you give of your selves? |
A60355 | wherefore say my people, VVe are Lords, we will come no more un ● … thee? |
A60355 | who is there that can pass thorough this Wilderness without multiplied wounds? |
A60355 | who would be content to stand at a ● … ay? |
A60355 | why have y ● … taken up such an hasty resolution? |

A46911 | Are you born of the Spirit? |
A46911 | Are you born of the Word, of the Spirit of God himself? |
A46911 | But I foresee an Objection, which I will anticipate: Wherefore should Saints that are sanctified but in part, be so perfectly glorified? |
A46911 | But would he not repent if any of the Lords Ministers would boldly tell him of his backslidings? |
A46911 | By your hatred of sin; of every false way that appears to you by the light of the Word and Spirit so to be? |

A46911 | Will hopes of keeping up their credit in the world, of getting a little gain thereby, make men deal honestly, and seem righteous before men? |
A46911 | and that ye can never be acquitted therefrom but through the obedience of Christ the second Adam by your believing on him, and his righteousness? |
A46911 | and will not that greedy worm of Conscience, gripe, gnaw, and feed upon his soul to all eternity? |

A27044 | And how farre they know the things on Earth? |
A27044 | And how is Gods strength manifested in our weakness? |
A27044 | And how their state before the Resurrection differs from what it will be after? |
A27044 | And how they converse with one another? |
A27044 | And how they do enjoy? |
A27044 | And how they see, Praise and enjoy God? |
A27044 | And is not this Providence of God, and this example of our deceased friend of use to us? |
A27044 | And many more? |
A27044 | And whether Christ ever directed the Church to exclude such, or did not plainly require the contrary? |
A27044 | And whether the Apostles ever excluded such, or made such Rules? |
A27044 | And why do we so much fear every Thorn in the Flesh: Every Sickness, Pain, or Cross, as if Pride could be prevented or killed at too dear a rate? |
A27044 | But how doth God do it? |
A27044 | But how doth Paul endure the Thorn? |
A27044 | But how doth Paul pray? |
A27044 | But how was Paul in danger of being exalted above measure, by the abundance of Revelations? |
A27044 | But if we suffer not, how shall suffering- graces be exercised, faith, patience, self- denial, and hope? |
A27044 | But who put this Thorn into Pauls Flesh? |
A27044 | Did they live then more humbly, peaceably and heavenly? |
A27044 | Do we not find that we are better when we suffer than when we are high? |
A27044 | Have you heard and seen more of heaven than others? |
A27044 | How easily should we bear our short afflictions? |
A27044 | How far one or not one with Christ, and one another? |
A27044 | How far they have still sensation? |
A27044 | How greedily do some Religious People desire it? |
A27044 | How shall grace and divine strength be manifested to our selves and others? |
A27044 | How shall we get the benefit of suffering, if we feel it not? |
A27044 | How they are indivuate, and yet how far one? |
A27044 | How they subsist, and act out of the body? |
A27044 | If Faith have not taught you to pray as Christians, methinks feeling should teach you to pray as men? |
A27044 | Is Pride so rare or so small a sin? |
A27044 | Is not grace better than ease or life? |
A27044 | Is not this a Paradise indeed, that is a place of purest greatest pleasure? |
A27044 | O had we lived as Beleivers should have lived, how much more of heavenly mindedness, and delight might we have attained than we have done? |
A27044 | O how it would overcome all these distrustful trembling fears of death, and make us long, and grown and cry, to be with Christ? |
A27044 | O let our pains drive us all to God, who hath not some? |
A27044 | O what a help to mortification would such a sight of Paradise be? |
A27044 | Our souls would fain have more sensible perceptions of themselves, as to their substance, and their separate state? |
A27044 | Paul was thither taken up; had he no interest there, no hopes, no friends, no business there; VVhy then should he have been rapt up thither? |
A27044 | Say not, Why then is it my duty to pray? |
A27044 | Sicknesses are all abroad, what house, how few persons have not some; and yet is there a Prayerless house, or person? |
A27044 | The spirit of a man( if sound and well) will sustain( his bodily) infirmities: But a wounded spirit who can bear? |
A27044 | To repent of our neglect of such helps as God is now removing? |
A27044 | VVhat life would it put into all holy duty? |
A27044 | VVhy should we enquire, when they must not be uttered? |
A27044 | Was not Paul a strong believer? |
A27044 | Was that Church therein guided by the Spirit of Christ, which made the Canon which ipso facto excommunicateth such? |
A27044 | We would fain know more of the decrees of God, and how all his acts are Eternal, and yet produce their effects in time? |
A27044 | Were we designed but to inhabit the Sun, or some resplendent Star, how high is it above this Earth? |
A27044 | What faithful Soul that hath been bred up in the School of afflictions doth not by experience say that it was good for him? |
A27044 | What is it in this confused and imperfect VVorld that hath not its inconveniencies? |
A27044 | What is it that Grace is sufficient for? |
A27044 | What may we conjecture those things are which Paul had seen and must not utter? |
A27044 | What trifling should we think most of the busles of this world? |
A27044 | Whether they are substances utterly immaterial, how they are generated? |
A27044 | Whether wise and good men could find no better? |
A27044 | Why did Christ pray against his Cup? |
A44681 | And how? |
A44681 | And now what mighty pleadings might the Case admit, on the one hand, and the other? |
A44681 | And now, all the question will be, Which alledges the more considerable things? |
A44681 | And what else is living Religion, but a tendency to Blessedness? |
A44681 | But he that is joined unto the Lord, is one Spirit? |
A44681 | But is our Service fit, in point of excellency, and value, to be compared with that of glorified Spirits in the upper Regions? |
A44681 | But what now, doth this fearful Case admit of no remedy? |
A44681 | Can such a presence with the Lord, as is here meant, consist with sleeping? |
A44681 | Can we not endure to see or think of a Man at liberty,( suppose it were a Friend or a Brother) if we our selves were in Prison? |
A44681 | Especially, when it is so purposely design''d for Remedy of the Apostacy, wherein Men are revolted and gone off from him? |
A44681 | For was it only an entrance into Glory he desired, and not continuance in a glorified state? |
A44681 | For who are the[ We] that speak of being absent from the Body, and present with the Lord? |
A44681 | Hath not Death still swept the Stage from Generation to Generation? |
A44681 | Have not others, in all former Ages, lov''d the Body and this World as much? |
A44681 | How doth that part of the Creation that is inferior to you, abound with like Instances? |
A44681 | How like in sound is this to Animus cujusque is quisque? |
A44681 | Is a Body so much nearer a- kin to us, than a Spirit; that we must have so mean a thing to come between, to mediate and reconcile us to it? |
A44681 | Know of your selves, demand an account, Are you sincerely willing to be his? |
A44681 | Mansion do I say? |
A44681 | Matters are then agreed between him and you: And who can break or disanul the Agreement? |
A44681 | Of whom we find one* speaking with a sort of disdain; Is this Body, I? |
A44681 | Or is sleeping more desirable than the converse with him our present state admits? |
A44681 | Or, That the Soul is the Man? |
A44681 | Or, upon supposition you should, are you willing? |
A44681 | Shall we agree to resign these Bodies, and this bodily Life? |
A44681 | Shall we now learn more to study, and understand our own Natures? |
A44681 | That we are Creatures united with Bodies, but separable from them? |
A44681 | That we are sojourners only in a Body, which we must shortly leave to Dust and Worms? |
A44681 | To contemplate our selves, and our Duty thereupon? |
A44681 | What can be more disconsolate? |
A44681 | What is Death to me as an Object of Fear, in comparison of being absent from the Lord? |
A44681 | What is it as an Object of Love, in comparison of being with the Lord? |
A44681 | What so much a- kin are a Mind, and a piece of Earth, a Clod, and a Thought, that they should be thus affiix''d to one another? |
A44681 | Who are they that they should desire the Day of the Lord? |
A44681 | Who can come between him and you? |
A44681 | Who could ever, by their love of this bodily Life, procure it to be perpetuated? |
A44681 | Why are we afraid of what we are so nearly allyed unto? |
A44681 | Why do we make the Thoughts of a Spirit out of a Body so strange to our selves? |
A44681 | Will a Man rob God? |
A44681 | Will he suffer himself to be defeated in a Design, upon which he is so industriously intent? |
A44681 | Without this, who can expect but to hear from him at last, Depart from me, I know you not? |
A44681 | Would I lurk in the Body, and lie hid from the presence of the Lord? |
A44681 | Yea, and when he now takes him in hand a second time? |
A44681 | You are unwilling to die, and be banish''d the Divine Presence; But are you unwilling to die and enjoy it? |
A44681 | a Day of such gloominess and darkness, as it is likely, should it now dawn, to prove to them? |
A44681 | and taken all away, willingly or unwillingly? |
A44681 | and to take him for yours, without limitation or reserves? |
A44681 | and what is become of them? |
A44681 | break and violate his House? |
A44681 | or by their dread of Mortality, make themselves Immortal? |

A44880 | The second thing to be inquired into, is, Why God thus exerciseth them? |
A44880 | Was not her name as precious oyntment? |

A44880 | What does he doe in this case? |

A96098 | h And is there so much sweetnesse in sin, as is in a Crown? |
A96098 | how can we merit a Crown? |
A96098 | it is a Crown of mercie; b a Crown that free grace bestows; Why then is it called Corona justitiae, a Crown of righteousness? |

A79887 | ARt fled, dear Soul? |
A79887 | And what measure then do we offer to God herein? |
A79887 | But this work of grace being inward and secret, how shall we be able to judge of it? |
A79887 | But wherein consists the happinesse of our friends who are departed in the Lord? |
A79887 | But why should these considerations moderate our mourning for them? |
A79887 | Consider who it is that hath done it: Is he not your heavenly Father? |
A79887 | Could not the Riv''lets from thy Parents eyes Prevail for once to drown the destinies? |
A79887 | Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? |
A79887 | Do you not know that, as for our lands, so for our lives, we are but Gods tenants at will? |
A79887 | For the first: What do you call a well- grounded hope? |
A79887 | Fourthly, Did God take away your dear relation whilst he was young? |
A79887 | Hath God anywhere promised that all shall live till they be old? |
A79887 | He inquired of his Tutor, how he might know that he loved God? |
A79887 | Hence Ambrose saith, Quid est mors, nisi peccatorum sepultura? |
A79887 | How much more cause had this Gentleman to praise God for making him a man, a Christian, and a Londoner at such a time as this? |
A79887 | If Rome be such a glorious and glittering place, what is Heaven? |
A79887 | Is it not a mercy that God hath made you instrumentall for the enlarging of his Kingdom, though he hath taken both your children from you? |
A79887 | Is it not better to lose sin and sorrow than to retain them? |
A79887 | Is not God the chief Father of all the Families in Heaven and Earth, and we but Foster- parents to our own children under him? |
A79887 | Is not mortality the stage of mutability? |
A79887 | Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? |
A79887 | Must we keep a mean in our mourning for our deceased friends? |

A79887 | Now if thou didst receive it, why doest thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? |
A79887 | Or''s death so envious? |

A79887 | We mourn not for them, but for our own losse: for the loss of their sweet society, and of all the comfort that we expected in and by them? |
A79887 | What are the evils that they are freed from by death? |

A79887 | why? |
A46992 | 34.? |
A46992 | 4. how should this make us high in our hopes, and lowly in our hearts? |
A46992 | Abraham''s Servant asked Rebeckah,( i ● there room in thy Fathers house for us to lodge in? |
A46992 | But can such a wretch as I expect Grace, that have spent so many years in sinful courses, and have sinned so desperately as I have done? |
A46992 | Can We think to escape, if He be put to Death? |
A46992 | Christ checks her, Said I not unto thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst set the Glory of God? |
A46992 | Do ye believe that I am able to do this? |
A46992 | For the First, What a Pattern is? |
A46992 | Here the poor penitents may turn their presumption into a blessed hope, and say with an humble confidence, si Petrus cur non& ego? |
A46992 | Ho wpretious is a glimpse of Christ''s love in any promise to a sinner condemned in his own Conscience? |
A46992 | How Paul may be said to be a Pattern? |
A46992 | How comfortable is the thought of Christ to Justi ● ie, unto those Souls that are ready to be swallowed up of Despair? |
A46992 | How plentifully did Mary Magdalen shed tears when we washed our Saviours Feet with them? |
A46992 | How ● ● mberless are the Books and Re ● ● ● pts, yea, the Physitian for o ● r bodies grown, yet w ● o says( we have too many?) |
A46992 | If all these were pardoned, why may not I follow God for pardon? |
A46992 | If the Shepheard be smitten, what will become of the timorous Sheep? |
A46992 | If they deal thus barbarously with our Lord, what will they do, or what will they not do rather against his Servants when He is gone? |
A46992 | If you ask what ground a Christian hath for this confidence? |
A46992 | It is a great Mercy to have such Patterns of pardoning Mercy; for in these we may more clearly see what is the great design of free Grace? |
A46992 | Lastly, What excellent ● ncouragement all Sinners hereafter may make of this glorious Pattern of Free- grace? |
A46992 | My Father by Nature, your Father by Grace, as S. Austin interprets it; Where can he better prepare a place for his Elect than in his own Kingdom? |

A46992 | What doth such a wicked creature as you hope for pardon? |
A46992 | What though Christ send his Negro( Death?) |
A46992 | What will become of us when the light of our eyes is departed? |
A46992 | Where can Christ better prepare a p ● ace for them, than in that Kingdom which God the Father hath freely bestowed on them? |
A46992 | Where can We be secure if He suffer? |
A46992 | Where can he prepare a place better than in that Kingdom which Christ also appointed for them? |
A46992 | Who hath not either read or heard what strange conceits melancholy hath caused some to have of their bodies? |
A46992 | Who would not go out of a thatcht Cottage to inherit a Pallace? |
A46992 | Why Paul was made a Pattern? |
A46992 | Why do not we pray for pardon? |
A46992 | Will the Lord cast off for ever? |
A46992 | You say you do not repent; Pray tell me, is sin your solace or your sorrow? |

A46992 | hath he in anger shut up his tender Mercies? |
A46992 | in what hole shall we hide our heads from a melitious Devil ● persecuting World, now that our Champion is taken from us? |
A46992 | is his mercy clean gone? |
A46992 | is it that evil which you allow, or that evil which you allow no ●? |
A46992 | si David, si Noah, si Lot, cur non& ego? |
A46992 | si Paulus, cur non& ego? |
A46992 | what love, what thankfulness will such a sight beget in such a Soul? |
A46992 | will he be favourable no more? |
A46992 | yea, the very breath of our Nostrils? |
A60347 | Are you desirous that he should reign over you, and erect his Throne in you? |
A60347 | Are you reconciled unto God? |
A60347 | But let me ask thee, Was not the glory of God dear to thee, and his Name precious? |
A60347 | Can not he make it easy to you, as he hath made it to many of his People? |
A60347 | Can you trust God with your Souls, and will you not trust him with your Seed? |
A60347 | Did I say, Go? |
A60347 | Did they carry Grace along with them into the other World, and leave good ground of Hope in this concerning them? |
A60347 | Do not we desire that he should receive us graciously, and bid us welcome as some of his old Friends and Acquaintance? |
A60347 | Do you like and love his Law? |
A60347 | Do you now swim in Delights, and abound with Creature comforts, shall you not find better in Heaven, than those you leave behind you? |
A60347 | Do you think it is an hard thing to die, can not God strengthen you for it? |
A60347 | Follow this advice, will you? |
A60347 | Hast thou counted his Service perfect freedom, but that of Sin the basest of Drudgeries? |
A60347 | Hast thou had thy fruit unto holiness, and was thy heart set for the bringing forth much fruit? |
A60347 | Hast thou made him thy choice, and desired to live in an obedience to him, and expressiveness of him? |
A60347 | Hast thou offered thy self and thy praise to him? |
A60347 | Hath it been your Grief and Trouble when you found in your selves straitness, deadness, and dulness? |
A60347 | Hath it come to you not in Word only, but also in Power? |
A60347 | Have you been angry with your selves, because you have done no more and no better for God? |
A60347 | Have you been pleased and delighted when you did at any time find your hearts raised in it, and enlarged, and more than ordinarily carried out? |
A60347 | Have you great affliction and trouble here, would it not be better for you to be out of it; to exchange a tempestuous Sea for an Haven of Peace? |

A60347 | Is there a bitterness in it, can not God sweeten it to you? |
A60347 | Now enquire how hath this Word wrought upon you? |
A60347 | Now is not this enough to satisfy you? |
A60347 | Secondly, Can you say as Christ did in this Chapter, that you have glorified God upon earth? |
A60347 | Suppose there were ten thousand thousand worlds, and put them all together, what would they all be to one God? |
A60347 | There hath been Peace offered to you, and most condescending gracious Terms propounded, have you accepted and closed with them? |
A60347 | Thirdly, Can you say as our Saviour did, I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do? |
A60347 | To what purpose, I beseech you, should they live, when they have no more grace to get here, and no more good to do? |
A60347 | Was he not highest in thy esteem, valued above all the world, set up in the Throne, all other things being made his Footstool? |
A60347 | Was their Walk with God, and their Motions toward Heaven? |
A60347 | Were they Holy and Gracious? |
A60347 | Were they born twice before they died once? |
A60347 | Were they partakers of the Holy Ghost in his renewing Influences? |

A60347 | What mind large enough to conceive it? |
A60347 | What shall I say? |
A60347 | What words are big enough to express it? |
A60347 | Whom have I in heaven but thee, and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee? |
A60347 | Will you consider this, and work it upon your hearts by repeated thoughts? |
A60347 | Will you not commit them to the care of your heavenly Father, who is their God in Covenant as well as yours? |
A60347 | Would you stay yet longer, that so you might provide for your Children, and see them setled well and comfortably in the World? |
A60347 | and who can resist it? |
A60347 | give one good reason if you can, why any should remain upon earth, after they are once truly fit for Heaven? |
A60347 | how short is their Arm, how many outward and inward Troubles are there which their skill and power can not reach? |
A60347 | shall it not be in our heart, as well as in his? |
A60347 | they shall not die before it, why should they live here after it? |
A60347 | what are the first- fruits of the Spirit, to the whole harvest? |
A60347 | what is a love letter, or message of peace, or kind token from God now and then, to a lying in his bosom, to a being and continuance in his joy? |
A60347 | what is seeing in a glass darkly, to a seeing face to face; seeing as we are seen, and knowing as we are known? |
A60347 | what is seeing of his power and glory in the Sanctuary, to the beatifical Vision? |
A60347 | what is the joy of Faith, to that of sight? |
A60347 | why should they not receive the Crown of Righteousness, when they have fought the good fight, and finished their course, and kept the faith? |
A60347 | why they should have their days prolonged, when their work is finished? |
A65295 | 12. whoever heard before of a living Crown? |
A65295 | And shall not we fight the good fight, and discharge with the fire of zeal against this bosom- traytor the flesh? |
A65295 | And what Crown is this? |
A65295 | Are there any sweeter smiles or softer embraces than his? |
A65295 | Are we consecrated with the anointing Oyl of grace? |
A65295 | Are we heirs to this glorious Crown? |
A65295 | Are we not only Morally, but Theologically righteous? |
A65295 | But what are these chains? |
A65295 | But why is the Crown at all deferred, why is it not set on a Christians head presently? |
A65295 | But why should any of Gods children be under such consternation, and have the trembling at the heart? |
A65295 | Did they take such pains to gratifie their superstitious devotion? |
A65295 | Doth not the banished Prince desire his native Countrey? |
A65295 | Doth the Crown endure to every generation? |
A65295 | Doth this hellish Goliah come into the field, and defie the living God? |
A65295 | Go forth my soul, said Hilarion on his death- bed, what fearest thou? |
A65295 | Have they lost their reason as well as their conscience? |
A65295 | Have we a righteousness of imputation procured for us by Christs merit, and a righteousness of implantation produced in us by his spirit? |
A65295 | Have we both circumcision of heart, and circumspection of life? |
A65295 | How can they adhere to God who never loved him? |
A65295 | How may we so fight the good fight as to overcome? |
A65295 | Is it not best to have Christs banner of love displaid over us? |
A65295 | Is it not better to have sparkling Crowns and white Robes, than to sojourn in the tents of Kedar? |
A65295 | Is it not better to live among Angels than fiery serpents? |
A65295 | Is the Christian life military? |
A65295 | Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? |
A65295 | Let us look to this Cloud of Witnesses, and bestir our selves, ply our Oar, double our Files; Who would not toyl all day, to catch salvation at night? |
A65295 | Sin incorporates with grace, would we partake of glory while we partake of sin? |
A65295 | Suppose you had a dear relation beyond the Sea, and you should hear he were Crowned King, would you grieve to hear of his advancement? |
A65295 | The Prophet Elijah was removed in a fiery chariot to Heaven; Shall Elishah weep inordinately, because he enjoys not the company of Elijah? |
A65295 | The whole earth hangs upon the word of Gods Power, and shall not our Faith hang upon the word of his promise? |
A65295 | Then what is the jewel in it? |
A65295 | They are removed hence for their advantage, as if one should be removed out of a smoky Cottage to a Pallace? |

A65295 | Was there such strife for a corruptible Crown in the Olympian and Isthmean races? |
A65295 | We are encompassed with a body of sin; should not we long to shake off this viper? |
A65295 | We now live far from Court, we do rather desire God than enjoy him; should not we long to be crowned with the blissful sight of Gods face? |
A65295 | What are we that God should incircle us with happiness, and not others? |
A65295 | What did Christ pray for, but that all the Saints might be with him? |
A65295 | What hurt doth death do to them? |
A65295 | What is a man the better to run some part of the race and then tire? |
A65295 | What is become of mens intellectuals? |

A65295 | Why should you shed tears immoderately for them who have all tears wiped from their eyes? |
A65295 | Why then should any macerate, and even intomb themselves in sorrow for their relations? |
A65295 | Why then should the Saints be troubled at death? |
A65295 | With what vigour and resolution did Hannibal march over the Alps for the obtaining terrestrial Kingdoms? |
A65295 | You are within prospect of the Holy land, and will you now tire in your march? |
A65295 | and shall not some spear be lift up against him? |
A65295 | is a Prince afraid to cross the narrow Seas who is sure to be Crowned assoon as he comes at shore? |
A65295 | or fruit that falls from the tree before it be ripe? |
A65295 | when the flesh crys out, What a weariness is it? |
A65295 | why is my soul held any longer with this earthen fetter of the flesh? |
A65295 | why should the godly dread their priviledg? |
A65295 | will he not compensate our labours with a Crown? |
A65295 | would but God give us some Idaea, or imperfect glimps of Heavens Glory; how should we be ready to fall into a Trance with Peter? |
A60357 | And hereupon there follows sad questionings and hot disputes, if it be so, why am I thus? |
A60357 | And speak seriously, Do you not sometimes feel inward fears and faintings? |
A60357 | But how often is it otherwise, have you not known? |
A60357 | But now if these gracious men should ask death, as the Elders did Samuel, comest thou peaceably? |
A60357 | But what, all of them? |
A60357 | Did I say; he was of an unblameable Conversation? |
A60357 | H ● could play with Death thus? |
A60357 | Hath he forgotten to be gracious, or resolved he will not be so to me? |
A60357 | Have not you been asleep in your seats, when they have been at work in their Pulpits? |
A60357 | Have not you been cold at heart, while they were fervent in spirit, serving the Lord? |
A60357 | Have not you had great benefit, soul- advantages by them? |
A60357 | Have you got it? |
A60357 | Have you not seen a smile upon their brow, even then when there was a Cloud upon their tabernacle? |
A60357 | Have you not seen the faith of your Pastors budding and blossoming with joy, when you have been sinking, and days have been dark, and fears many? |
A60357 | Have you not taken notice of your Pastors love? |
A60357 | He had his experiences ready to produce, as Cordials to himself, and Arguments with his God, will you hear them? |
A60357 | How do their Relations and Friends want them? |
A60357 | How long shall I wait? |
A60357 | I now come to the Object, What is it that we are to consider? |
A60357 | If a wicked man should say to Death, as Ioram did to Jehu, is it peace, Death? |
A60357 | If you ask me what fruits they are which grow upon the root of faith, and prove it genuine? |
A60357 | Is his mercy clean gone for ever? |
A60357 | Next then, What is to be done by that people whom God did bless with such Pastors? |
A60357 | O Death, where is thy sti ● g? |
A60357 | O Grave, where is thy Victory? |
A60357 | Oh my dear Iesus, didst thou not manifest thy self to me at the Sacrament, when I was so very weak? |
A60357 | What Exist have they? |
A60357 | What did he observe there? |
A60357 | What did they think too much to do for you? |
A60357 | What peace, so long as thy rebellions, and whoredoms, and abominations are so many? |
A60357 | What raptures have they been in; and what extasies of joy? |
A60357 | What? |
A60357 | Who can summe up their happiness? |
A60357 | Would you know how this came to pass? |
A60357 | You will ask me, how ● they are to be remembred? |
A60357 | and I, saith the Olive, my fatness? |
A60357 | and cry? |
A60357 | and what an unsavoury world should we have then? |
A60357 | be they never so erroneous or flagicious? |
A60357 | how come they off at last? |
A60357 | how did they prize God, and Christ, and you? |
A60357 | how did they rejoyce in their work, though hard, yet sweet? |
A60357 | how great was his zeal in the Pulpit? |
A60357 | how long shall I be absent from thee? |
A60357 | how welcome was a Sabbath, upon which they might draw their breasts for your consolation, and open their treasures for your inriching? |
A60357 | or as Ioseph, How shall I do this great wickedness and sin against God? |
A60357 | peace? |
A60357 | shall the Father be smitten, and the Children not grieved? |
A60357 | the Shepherd taken away, and the Flock not troubled? |
A60357 | this bright and orient Star must fall, he must fall, not by the rail of the Dragon, but by the hand of death, did I say, he fell? |
A60357 | thou knowest that I love thee, and wilt not thou love me, and manifest thy self to me? |
A60357 | will not God vouch ● afe me one smile now, and can I think he owns me for one of his Children? |
A48948 | And lastly, why resembled to crystall? |
A48948 | And why are they never satisfactory? |
A48948 | Are not they lost that can neither be found in heaven, nor in the earth, nor yet in the sea? |
A48948 | Art thou a Muck- worme? |
A48948 | As first, why the passages of this world are so dangerous? |
A48948 | But why are all the passages of this world alwayes open and overt to the sight and censure of the eternall God? |
A48948 | But would you learne how to avoid this Traitor that wil Judaize with you, this dominion of Satan, and this house on fire? |
A48948 | Can any wise man love the place where Satan domineeres? |
A48948 | Cur? |
A48948 | Have we our Maine mast ready, that is to say, our faith, without which it is impossible to please God? |

A27055 | And how worthily will they be undone, that by wilful refusal are deprived of freely offered Felicity? |
A27055 | And is it not a great mercy of God, that he hath herein called us to a life of happiness and present joy? |

A27055 | If Unbelief make you hope that there is no Hell, yet Hope of Heaven you can have none, unless you trust the Word of God? |

A27055 | What an ugly Dungeon were the World without them? |
A27055 | What is it for Believers to take God''s Testimonies for their Heritage? |

A27055 | What is there in all the description which I have here truly given you, which is injurious or dangerous to Church or State, or any person? |
A27055 | What it is in God''s Testimonies which make them fit to be our Heritage, and our Joy? |
A27055 | What say you, Will you die in Hope or in Despair? |
A27055 | What will you take for your heritage, or your best, if not the future promised joyes, and what will you take for your security but Gods Word? |

A27055 | and Man in special when he hath made him capable of it? |
A27055 | and that God''s Kingdom and Righteousness is first sought? |
A27055 | and that God''s Testimonies are trusted and delighted in and obeyed? |
A27055 | and what a worse than bruitish thing were man? |
A27055 | if not, which is that you prefer, and which would you quit, if one must be hazarded or lost? |
A27055 | or have we any better? |
A27055 | shall health and wealth, and pleasure to the flesh, and honour among men, be taken for your heritage? |

A87093 | Whom should a captive live to, but him that ransomed him? |
A87093 | Why are we clad in black for them who walk in white? |
A87093 | and death, what is it but a going to life? |
A87093 | and so many tears flow from our eyes for them who have all tears wiped from theirs? |
A87093 | and there is none on earth I desire in comparison of thee: so saith a Christian in this case concerning Christ, Whom have I in death but thee? |
A87093 | by death we gain glory, and shall we not glory over death? |

A87093 | for the standing- pools to be dry so long as we may drink at the fountain? |
A87093 | if the first fruits be desirable, what is the full crop? |
A87093 | if we should not live to Christ, who should? |

A01531 | For g what is true friendship, but when men will and nill the same things? |
A01531 | For hast thou Christ to friend? |
A01531 | For how can he choose but love thee, when thou lovest him, z who loved thee then, when thou loved''st not him? |
A01531 | For what would not a man do or endure for a deere friend? |
A01531 | For who is ignorant of it, that hath read, or heard read or told the story of Queene Esther? |
A01531 | Hast thou Christ to friend? |
A01531 | How is that? |
A01531 | In like manner, doest thou desire to maintaine friendship with Christ? |
A01531 | In taneâ morum discordia, qae potest esse concordia? |
A01531 | Lastly, is death as a sleep? |
A01531 | Moriar? |
A01531 | Non priu ● in dulcem de ● linat lumina somnum, Omnia q ● m longi transege ● it acta diei, Qo praetergressus? |
A01531 | Now is death then but as a sleepe to the faithfull? |
A01531 | Or what hath he not done and endured for us? |
A01531 | Or why is not this lamentable creature as I am? |
A01531 | Q ● modo enim redamare pigebit, ● qi amavit necdum ama ● tes? |
A01531 | Q ● re enim dormientes dicantur nisi qia di ● suo resuscitantur? |

A01531 | Qod mihi p ● aeteritum? |
A01531 | Qod à malo liberat, qis non bonum pronunciabit? |
A01531 | Secondly, is death as a sleepe, and such a sleepe, to the faithfull? |
A01531 | So art thou, or wouldest thou be Christs friend? |
A01531 | So may some say, If the faithfull be Christs friends, why doth he suffer them to dye? |
A01531 | Stul ● e qid est somnu ●, gelid ● nisi mortis imago? |
A01531 | What faithfull member of Christ, though never so meane, did he not c honour and respect? |
A01531 | What faithfull minister of Christ did he not entirely b love, and affect? |
A01531 | What shall I need to adde ought concerning his end? |
A01531 | What shalt thou gaine by it? |
A01531 | Whereupon Augustine; i Doest thou love the Lord? |
A01531 | Why? |
A01531 | Would wee not condemne such of extreame folly? |
A01531 | Yea but, what got he, or gained he, may some of you say, by this his beneficence? |
A01531 | Yea, hast thou made Christ thy friend? |
A01531 | as, z if he be against thee, who can be for thee? |

A01531 | l What makes the difference betweene me and him, but the mercy of God only more in this kinde to me then to him? |
A01531 | or of what should I be afraid? |
A01531 | or what is the greatest favour of the greatest on earth unto this? |
A01531 | or what was the fruit and effect of it? |
A01531 | or where can he be but in safety with Christ? |
A01531 | qid gestum in tempore? |
A01531 | qid non? |
A01531 | red ● am? |
A01531 | s We must not stand to demand, or forecast with our selves, as those prophane ones in t Iob, What shall I get or gaine by what I do or endure? |
A01531 | saist thou? |
A01531 | so, a if he be for thee, who can be against thee? |
A01531 | then first o why should any faithfull, any friend of Christ feare death? |

A60487 | And here now what words shall I use? |
A60487 | And now have I not described a Person of Worth and Eminency? |
A60487 | And verse the 16, we have all this message attributed to God himself by the Prophet, as if he had received the dictate immediately from God himself? |
A60487 | As for a true well- grounded Assurance, say not so much, Who shall ascend up into heaven, to fetch it down from thence? |
A60487 | But Israel which followed after the Law of righteousness, hath not attained to the Law of righteousness: Wherefore? |
A60487 | But from whence learn we that the Spirit of God will not reside with Heaviness? |
A60487 | But what saith it? |
A60487 | Do not even Publicans and Pharisees the same? |
A60487 | Dye did I say? |
A60487 | For concerning such cheap and little strictnesses as these it may be enquired, What doe you more then others? |

A60487 | We may truly say concerning Religion to such Souls as S. Paul spake to the Corinthians, Needs it any Epistles of Commendation to you? |
A60487 | We read in the Gospel of such a Question of our Saviour''s, What went you out into the wilderness to see? |
A60487 | What Matter can thus bind up Past, Present and Future time together? |
A60487 | What is all that Happiness that arifeth from these bodily pleasures to any one that hath any high or noble sense within him? |

A60487 | and what profit should we have if we pray unto him? |
A60487 | how could he behold Israel unguarded, and not throw off his own clothes as a token of his Sorrow? |
A60487 | no spirit or life within; but all our motions in Religion are merely from some assisting Form without? |
A60487 | or how shall we convince the gainsaying world of Truth, unless we could also inspire Vertue into it? |
A60487 | or what could he see out of himself that could adde any thing to his own stature, which he found not already in himself? |

A48438 | 9, That the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? |
A48438 | And every Saint, while he is in the wilderness, in his Wilderness- state, leans on his beloved: What would a Saint have in any condition? |
A48438 | And here came in the great question, But how shall I know that God in Christ will accept me? |
A48438 | And will you not yet come off from this world, but the longer you live, you will love the world so much the better? |
A48438 | And will you, dare you neglect your special work? |
A48438 | Be there not among them such, as are like Ephraim? |
A48438 | Be there not careless men and women among us, that do not yet look out after Christ? |
A48438 | Besides, have you no eyes, no ears, to see, and hear, that many dye dayly and weekly? |
A48438 | But for the relief of such, God reasons thus, Didst ever love me? |
A48438 | But is it always so? |
A48438 | But then came this question, These are marks and signs that belong to such and such Saints in Scripture: But what is this to thee? |
A48438 | But what is it that is intended by this expression, early to seek the Lord? |
A48438 | But what shall we do to seek him? |
A48438 | Can you think of losing your Friends, and your God too for ever? |
A48438 | Consider what was the great errand upon which God sent you into the world? |
A48438 | Didst ever love Jesus Christ, and the Children of God? |
A48438 | Do you not yet know, that you are going to appear before the Judgment- seat of Christ? |
A48438 | Doth Christ thus call, and will you not regard, nor answer this call? |
A48438 | Friend, I must dye, Animula, vagula, blandula, quos nunc ad ibis locos? |
A48438 | From whence? |
A48438 | Have you any true love for God? |
A48438 | His arguing thus with a doubting soul; Try thy self; can not you bear a leaving of God? |
A48438 | How many pretty little ones are every day taken away before your eyes? |
A48438 | I have often thought of that Scripture with joy, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thy self unto me, and not unto the world? |
A48438 | If one should ask me this question, Why is the promise made to those that love God? |
A48438 | Is it not high time, that something of the concernments of another world should interpose between your life and your death? |
A48438 | Is there wisdom and understanding always among the aged? |
A48438 | Many( says Christ) will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? |
A48438 | Poor flitting, dear departing soul, whither art thou going? |
A48438 | Read the begining of the Chapter, Doth not wisdom cry? |
A48438 | So the soul of a Saint looks out at every cranny, at the eye, and at the ear, and cries out, Why tarries his Chariot? |
A48438 | So we should say to our hearts, Dost thou love Jesus Christ? |
A48438 | The believing soul says so; And who can but live and dye on such a word as this is? |
A48438 | To whom doth she cry? |
A48438 | Was not here love? |
A48438 | What are the Galleries? |
A48438 | What doth she call to them for? |
A48438 | What then will be his next call? |
A48438 | What then? |
A48438 | What will be the difference betwixt Saints and Sinners, with respect to death at last? |
A48438 | When did ever a straying Sheep seek the Shepherd? |
A48438 | When ever did the wild- Goats look after one to lead them? |
A48438 | Whence doth that difference arise? |
A48438 | Whence that difference doth arise? |
A48438 | Would you be willing to dye, and be damn''d? |
A48438 | Would you leave this world, and be content to be turn''d into Hell, and be punished with the Devil and his Angels? |
A48438 | Would you see the fruits and effects of this Love? |
A48438 | Yea, better than Heaven it self without Christ? |
A48438 | You say, you have no strength, no might, so that you are not able to do any thing to please God: Why, what is the matter? |
A48438 | and in thy name done many wonderful works? |
A48438 | and in thy name have cast out Devils? |
A48438 | and understanding put forth her voice? |
A48438 | and understanding put forth her voice? |
A48438 | and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? |
A48438 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
A48438 | consider, do you love God? |
A48438 | dost love him better than all creature- comforts and relations? |
A48438 | dost love him better than all earthly treasures, better than thy estate, better than all the world, better than all these? |
A48438 | dost thou love him better than these, than these Children, these pretty little Idols that are set up before our eyes? |
A48438 | dost thou love him indeed and in earnest? |
A48438 | for who maketh thee differ from another? |
A48438 | how many goodly plants,( that God had planted in his own house) have of late been plucked up by the roots, and laid in their Graves? |
A48438 | or that is more exactly and perfectly pure and holy, that is, more lovely than Christ? |
A48438 | that do not provide for the welfare of their souls, but are cumbred about many things, as Martha was? |
A48438 | then doubt not that he will leave you: would you know whether God loves you? |
A48438 | was it not better with you then, than now? |
A48438 | why is he so long in coming? |
A48438 | why tarry the wheels of his Chariots? |
A00426 | Alas what else should we do when we are every day for ought we know going to judgement? |
A00426 | And if they can not go to Heaven because GODS justice must be satisfied, what will becom of all those that die a little before the judgement? |
A00426 | But how then( say I) could Saint Paul be with CHRIST? |
A00426 | Call you this a reward, for a good man to be thrust into a place of torment? |
A00426 | David did so, and Peter did so, and what sheep of CHRIST doth not so? |
A00426 | David exceeded in his sorrow for Absalon, and was there not a cause? |
A00426 | Did Saint Paul desire to live only for the good of the Philippians? |
A00426 | For are they with CHRIST? |
A00426 | For you] But why more necessary? |
A00426 | For, what is it to be with CHRIST, but to be present where CHRIST is bodily present? |
A00426 | Fourthly, Christians ought to be confirmed in their gracious estate, yet whose faith is so constant, that it admits no wavering? |
A00426 | From this spectacle before our eyes all of us may learne something for our imitation: doth any one prophane GODS ordinances by a dissembled religion? |
A00426 | Go into any part of the world, and aske them in the Prophets words, your fathers where are they? |
A00426 | Good LORD that any Christian should live in the danger hereof, and yet be senselesse? |
A00426 | Hast thou not seene their mouthes( as it were) grinning and shewing their corrupted teeth and their other bones lie scattered in the grave? |
A00426 | Hast thou not( saith he) seen a heap of dead mens bones? |
A00426 | Hence the Prophet saith, Who understands his faults? |
A00426 | How doth he not remember, if he doth so severely punish that it passeth the imagination of man to conceive the greatnesse thereof? |
A00426 | How? |
A00426 | I pitie your case( good friends) and bewaile your losse: but why do J name your losse? |
A00426 | If the soule of Paul, why not the soule of other faithfull ones? |
A00426 | If thou hast seene these thou hast in them seen thy selfe: where are the tokens of flourishing age? |
A00426 | If we could assemble all the Saints together, and aske them whether they were without sin, what do we thinke would they answer? |
A00426 | O then why shouldest thou for the pleasures of unrighteousnesse for a very few daies( little dost thou know how few) destroy thy soule for ever? |
A00426 | S. Paul we know triumphed, when he had finished his course and fought that good fight against them, and shall not we? |
A00426 | Shall the Sun stand still for thee, as it did for Ioshua? |
A00426 | Tell me, what dreame is more vanishing, what shadow more flitting than is thy beauty, or any other thing whereof thou gloriest? |
A00426 | Trust not in Princes nor in the sons of man, and why so? |
A00426 | What Champion would- strive for the mastery when he might weare the corruptible crowne? |
A00426 | What instrument was ever too weake to effect GODS will, if he tooke it in hand? |
A00426 | What is it to live in the flesh? |
A00426 | What is meant by Flesh? |
A00426 | What will all friends, riches, and pleasures profit when you are on your death- bed? |
A00426 | What will his glorious presence effect in them who shall behold him in al his Royaltie? |
A00426 | When hee died he was with CHRIST; how? |
A00426 | Whether will you beleeve? |
A00426 | Who can tell how often he offends? |
A00426 | Who is more odious in our sight than a proud beggar? |
A00426 | Who would not admire the state of such a beggar, who every houre was in possibility of a Kingdome? |
A00426 | Why then doth he only name them? |
A00426 | Why then shouldest thou O Christian soule be cast downe, or why shouldest thou be in vaine disquieted? |
A00426 | Why, was not Saint Paul with CHRIST? |
A00426 | and doe they live for ever? |
A00426 | and is it not an easie thing unto the LORD in the day of death to reward a man according to his waies? |
A00426 | and must I not be carefull of my soule which is a pretious treasure kept in an earthen vessell? |
A00426 | and saying, that not a few but al his sins shall be forgotten, will he yet punish them to satisfie for any sins at all? |
A00426 | and was not the streame of his affection carried to CHRIST? |
A00426 | and what if thou hadst gained much riches and many pleasures, and enjoyned them a hundred yeares? |
A00426 | are not all such things as wind and vanity which passeth away? |
A00426 | as though necessitie lay upon you, either to pray for them or to curse them? |
A00426 | but how then could Saint Paul be with CHRIST? |
A00426 | can there be a back reckoning for that which shall never be remembred? |
A00426 | doe we thinke we can doe good in another world, when we do no good to speake of in this? |
A00426 | for what shall it profit a man to win the whole world and to loose his owne soule? |
A00426 | hast thou not seen their skuls without flesh, a grim spectacle to behold, the very eyes being wasted and turned into dust? |
A00426 | how could they( as they did) depart in peace? |
A00426 | or go back as it did five houres for Hezekiah? |
A00426 | or what recompence shall a man give for his soule? |
A00426 | shall our owne soules now be vile to us, in comparison of which al the kingdoms of the world are but trifles? |
A00426 | should we not intreat the Judge to pardon us? |
A00426 | should we not with sighes and sobs cry continually unto him to be mercifull unto us? |
A00426 | there is no question of this latter, and why should there be of the former? |
A00426 | was it not because his appointed time to die was not yet come? |
A00426 | was not he with him in the spirit as with the Colossians, rejoycing and beholding his happinesse? |
A00426 | was not his conversation now in heaven? |
A00426 | what is now becom of those sparkling and lovely eyes? |
A00426 | what of the comely nose placed in the midst of the cheeks? |
A00426 | what to be a fire- brand of hell and not to be moved? |
A00426 | whence is there is naturall confcience that accusing power for sin, that feare of wrath, but from this principle that the soule is immortall? |
A00426 | where are those beautiful cheeks? |
A00426 | where are those locks of haire which were wo nt to adorne their heads,& c. what is become of all those things which do increase thy pride? |
A00426 | where is bloud and colours in the lips? |
A00426 | whither that which Pelagius saith, or that which Iohn the Apostle saith? |
A00426 | who? |
A00426 | whose patience is so fixed, that it admits no staggering? |
A69538 | 1, Your Spirits are Christs own: And may you not trust him with his own? |
A69538 | 15. and will he not receive his friends? |
A69538 | 16 And wilt thou disown and refuse the soul that thou hast sealed?] |
A69538 | 9, Consider, How nearly thou art related to him in this state of Grace: Thou art his Child; and hath he not the bowels of a Father? |
A69538 | After so many receptions in the way of Grace, dost thou yet doubt of his Receiving thee? |
A69538 | And by what gift could he better testifie his love? |
A69538 | And for whom doth he provide this Heavenly Building not made with hands, but for Believers? |
A69538 | And how much more would it please his enmity, to have power to torment our Souls? |
A69538 | And may we not comfortably go to him that loveth us? |
A69538 | And may we not trust him in his undertaken office, that would trust a Physician or any other in his office, if we judge him faithful? |
A69538 | And shall he not then dwell with God for ever? |
A69538 | And will he now forget his love, and sufferings, and himself forsake thee after this? |
A69538 | And will he now take from thee the Kingdom which he hath given thee? |
A69538 | And will you do this about so great a matter as the everlasting state of your immortal Souls? |
A69538 | And wilt thou deny to receive me to that glory, who pray but for what thou hast prayed to thy Father? |
A69538 | Are you provided, certainly provided whither to go, and who shall Receive you when your Stewardship is ended, and you must needs go hence? |
A69538 | As he came down in flesh to be a Suitor to thee, so he caused thee to let go all for him; and will he now forsake thee? |
A69538 | But how much More of Christ is there in our suffering for his Cause and Truth? |
A69538 | Can that Love now thrust me out of Heaven, that lately fetch''d me from the gates of Hell, and placed me among thy Saints? |
A69538 | Can that love which washed me, and took we home, when I lay wallowing in my Blood, reject me, when it hath so far recovered me? |
A69538 | Christ teacheth us our duty by the parable of the Steward, that asketh himself before- hand, What he shall do when he must be no longer Steward? |
A69538 | Consider, if Christ should not receive thy spirit, how unspeakably deplorable thy case will be? |
A69538 | Did he himself on the Cross, commend his spirit into his Father''s hands, and will he not receive thy spirit when thou at death commendest it to him? |
A69538 | Did you see how they are treated at their removal from the flesh? |
A69538 | Do we labour earnestly to come thither, and yet lament that she is there? |
A69538 | Do you ask, What the Soul is? |
A69538 | Had you not a lifes time to put these questions? |
A69538 | Hast thou made sure of that? |
A69538 | Have you houses, and lands, and offices, and honours, and friends that are very pleasing to you? |
A69538 | Have you not as much need to be oft and earnest in prayer as they? |
A69538 | Have you not as much need to pray as those that you hate and reproach for praying? |
A69538 | How glad was he when God gave him leave but to touch the goods, and children, and body of Job? |
A69538 | How ready is he to receive us to perdition, if Christ refuse us, and receive us not to Salvation? |
A69538 | How sad is it to observe that those that have most need of Prayer, have least mind to Pray, as being least sensible of their needs? |
A69538 | How would you receive your Son, or Husband, the next day after some bloody Fight, where he had escaped with the Victory? |
A69538 | I know thou wilt be ready to say, that thou art unworthy,[ Will he receive so unworthy a Soul as mine?] |
A69538 | If such Sermons and Discourses as foretel it are troublesom to thee, what then will that sad Experience be? |
A69538 | If the ungodly go to Heaven, what use is Hell for? |
A69538 | If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
A69538 | If we can suffer with her, should we not rejoyce also with her? |
A69538 | If you ask, What that is? |
A69538 | Is the World worth all thy Care and Labour, and shall less be called too much ado, when it is for thy precious Soul? |
A69538 | Is thy Soul no more worth than Honour, or Wealth, or foolish Mirth? |
A69538 | Is thy Soul so base, as not to be worth the care and labour of a Holy Life? |
A69538 | It you ask me, How may so happy a Preparation be made? |
A69538 | Must we not be uncloathed, before the garments of Glory can be put on? |
A69538 | O but my sins are great and many; and will Christ ever receive so ignorant, so earthly and impure a Soul as mine? |
A69538 | Or send his Word and Ministers to promote it, if they may come to heaven unsanctified? |
A69538 | Or will he justifie us, and yet not receive us? |
A69538 | Or your Child, or Friend, that arrived safely after a long and a dangerous Voyage? |
A69538 | Should Angels attend us as ministring Spirits, if we had not Spirits fit to minister to God? |
A69538 | Should I care whether I Live at liberty or in prison, when I am ready to die, and have matters of infinite moment before me, to take me up? |
A69538 | Should Ministers be appointed to preach, and pray, and labour for us, if we had not Souls to save or lose? |
A69538 | Should such store of Mercies be provided for us? |
A69538 | Should we be called the Spouse and the Members of Christ? |
A69538 | Then thou wilt think, O whither am I going? |
A69538 | Thou art his Spouse, betrothed to him the very day when thou consentedst to his Covenant; and where then shouldst thou live but with him? |
A69538 | Thou hast dwelt in me here by faith; and shall I not now dwell with thee? |
A69538 | To what use doth Christ send the Holy- Ghost to sanctifie his Elect? |
A69538 | Were it not for our immortal Souls, would God ever honour us with such Relations to him, as to be his Children? |
A69538 | What his Receiving them is? |
A69538 | What must I endure? |
A69538 | What need Christ then to have shed his blood, or become a sacrifice for sin? |
A69538 | What remaineth now, but that all we that furvive, especially you that are her Children, do follow her as she followed Christ? |
A69538 | What sayst thou? |
A69538 | What would you need most if the day were come? |
A69538 | Why art thou wroth? |
A69538 | Why then should you not comfortably trust him with your Souls? |
A69538 | Will Christ receive it? |
A69538 | Will he deprive thee of thy Birth- right, who himself begot thee of the incorruptible Seed? |
A69538 | Will he not justifie those at last, whom he hath here justified? |
A69538 | Will you not knock till the door is shut? |
A69538 | Will you now be wordlings, and sensualists, and ungodly, and undo your selves, and then cry[ Lord Jesus receive my Spirit] at the last? |
A69538 | Will you say, that you hope well, and you must venture? |
A69538 | Wilt thou receive Christ now, or not? |
A69538 | Wilt thou take up this Resolution, and make this Covenant with God this day? |
A69538 | Would he be at so much cost upon us? |
A69538 | Would the Spirit of God himself dwell in us, and quicken and beautifie us with his Grace? |
A69538 | Would you not run and meet him, and with joy embrace him, if he had been many years absent, and were now come home? |
A69538 | Yet the door of grace is open: But how speedily will it be shut? |
A69538 | [ Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his Angels]? |
A69538 | and in following him in a mortified self- denying life, then in following him in the path that he hath trodden upon earth? |
A69538 | and is answerable to thine Omnipotency, Omniscience, and other Attributes? |
A69538 | and should you not long ago have got them satisfactorily resolved? |
A69538 | and who is the God of Love? |
A69538 | and why is thy countenance faln? |
A69538 | and yet canst thou exclude thine own, and shut them out that cry unto thee? |
A69538 | or cast into the burning lake? |
A69538 | receive an unholy Spirit? |
A69538 | why should we doubt whether he will receive us? |
A69538 | will Love refuse us when we fly unto him? |
A20169 | 3. but such as consider wisely of the poore? |
A20169 | 34. who suffered with ioy the spoyling of their goods? |
A20169 | 4. but vpon such as sigh and crie for the abhominations of Ierusalem? |
A20169 | 5. and what greater signe that we shall escape the iudgement of God, then if we iudge our selues? |
A20169 | Alas poore soule, what priuiledge hast thou to escape more then any other? |
A20169 | And as for holinesse, I am perswaded she affected it farre aboue saluation: for what was still her especiall request? |
A20169 | And indeed how can we expect to die with comfort, while we are vnresolued what shall become of our soules in the world to come? |
A20169 | And therefore say with Christ, and that with comfort and willing subiection, The cup which my Father hath giuen me, shall I not drinke it? |
A20169 | And this was matter of sore labour; for as Salomon saith, A man will be are his infirmitie; but a wounded spirit, who can beare it? |
A20169 | And what greater euidence is there of a good estate, then to forgiue our enemies? |
A20169 | And what greater signe is there of a true child of God, then holinesse? |
A20169 | And what is this but hand lucke or bad fortune? |
A20169 | And what saith blessed Paul? |
A20169 | And who will not easily acknowledge, that the true spirit of prayer is a notable signe of a blessed estate? |
A20169 | But here some may possibly obiect: Doth not Christ himselfe say, that The Comforter shall remaine for euer with his Elect? |
A20169 | But it may be obiected further, Do not many crosses fall out by meere ill lucke? |
A20169 | But may not afflictions lawfully be desired and prayed for, considering that they may be meanes, if they be sanctified, of much good vnto vs? |
A20169 | But to come to the vse and application of this point: Is it so, that afflictions may be thus troublesome and tedious to the very children of God? |
A20169 | But to come to the vse and application: Is it so, that God doth sorely afflict his deare children? |
A20169 | But what experienced Christian doth not sufficiently know, that the deare children of God are subiect to these pangs? |
A20169 | Do I see the excellency of the knowledge of Christ my Lord? |
A20169 | Do I see the price of heauen? |
A20169 | Do not some in our age attaine seuentie yeares, some eightie yeares, some ninetie yeares, some an hundreth? |
A20169 | Do we not see strong men die as well as weake? |
A20169 | Do we not see wise men die as well as foolish? |
A20169 | Doth his promise faile for euermore? |
A20169 | Doth not God scourge euery sonne whom he receiueth? |
A20169 | Doth not a child vpon a sudden fall into a pit, and is drowned? |
A20169 | Doth not a man sometimes breake his necke, falling from his horse? |
A20169 | Doth not a mans experience tell him of many ill chances which haue befallen him? |
A20169 | Doth not an axe head fli ● from the helue, when no such thing is intended, and slayes a man? |
A20169 | Fifthly and lastly, Do all afflictions come by the prouidence of God? |
A20169 | Fifthly, were these painfull nights appointed vnto Iob, not by fatall necessitie, or by chance and fortune, but by the prouidence of God? |
A20169 | For a ● t thou able to make as good vse of afflictions as Dauid was? |
A20169 | For do we not see yong men die as well as old? |
A20169 | For else why doth he pray a- againe and againe, that the bitter cup might passe from him? |
A20169 | For if iudgement begin at the house of God, what shall be the end of such as obey not the Gospell of God? |
A20169 | For suppose that a man be robbed of all that he hath, is God the cause of the robbery? |
A20169 | For what is more vnlikely, in the iudgement of flesh and bloud, to do good, then afflictions are? |
A20169 | For what saith our blessed Sauiour? |
A20169 | For, how doth he complaine in the sixt Psalme? |
A20169 | For, were the moneths of Iob, moneths of vanitie? |
A20169 | Fourthly, is it so, that God is the author of all afflictions? |
A20169 | Fourthly, was griefe and smart irkesome and troublesome vnto Iob himselfe? |
A20169 | God is our chiefe friend, and shall we thinke that our chiefe friend will seeke our bane? |
A20169 | God is our tender Father, and can we thinke that a tender father will giue any thing to his beloued child, but that which is good and whole some? |
A20169 | Hath God forgotten to be gracious? |
A20169 | How came Iacob to distaste and to forsake Labans family, but by the affliction which he found by the change of Labans countenance? |
A20169 | How came Paul to finish his dayes with comfort, but by this, that he had finished his course? |
A20169 | How came the Prodigall sonne to be weaned from the citizens seruice, Luke 15. but by the affliction of hunger and want which he found in it? |
A20169 | If any shall obiect further, and say; Do we not reade, that the Apostles reioyced, In that they were thought wothie to suffer rebuke for Christ? |
A20169 | Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? |
A20169 | Is it not because they are idle, and because they will not take the paines to heare so diligently, as their case requireth? |
A20169 | Is it so, that all afflictions come by the prouidence of God? |
A20169 | Marke the vpright man,& behold the iust: the end of that man is peace? |
A20169 | Now my beloued, what greater signe is there of a true disciple, then selfe deniall? |
A20169 | Now this fruitfulnesse did argue the goodnesse of the Tree; for how doth a Christian shew his faith, but by his workes? |
A20169 | Now what greater argument is there of our spirituall rising with Christ, then if we mortifie our earthly members? |
A20169 | Now what greater signe is there of a good and gracious estate, then to be sensible of the combat of the spirit against the flesh? |
A20169 | Now what greater signe is there of a good estate, then is sinceritie? |
A20169 | Now what more euident marke is there of a true Christian, then a sound faith? |
A20169 | Now what surer signe is there of a blessed estate, then sincere inflamed loue to God? |
A20169 | Or, why doth he crie, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A20169 | Secondly, are Gods owne deare children subiect to grieuous and tedious afflictions? |
A20169 | Secondly, did Iob endure a painfull and tedious griefe in his body? |
A20169 | Secondly, is it so, that afflictions may be thus tedious vnto the children of God? |
A20169 | Shall a trumpet be blowne in a citie, and the people not be afraid? |
A20169 | Shall we iudge Iob to be an hypocrite ▪ if we heare him cursing the day of his birth? |
A20169 | So what greater euidence that we are conceiued of Christ, then when we feele him sensibly st ● uggling in vs against the old Adam? |
A20169 | Suppose ye, that those Galileans were greater sinners then all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? |
A20169 | Therefore how is it possible that the end of the child of God should be vncomfortable? |
A20169 | Thirdly, is it so, that afflictions may be thus tedious vnto Gods children? |
A20169 | Thirdly, is it so, that all afflictions are from God? |
A20169 | Thirdly, was Iob brought by his sicknesse to the sight of the vanitie of earthly things? |
A20169 | Thou thinkest thou mayest do this soone enough when thou art old: but how doest thou know, whether thou shalt liue to be old, or no? |
A20169 | We pretend that we loue God; but where is that awfull respect which we owe vnto him? |
A20169 | What experienced Christian is there, but he is able to tell you, that the Sacrament by Gods blessing hath a notable confirming and establishing power? |
A20169 | What greater euidence was there of Dauids blessed estate then this, to wit, that he walked in the vprightnesse of his heart in the midst of his house? |
A20169 | What greater signe of a safe estate, then spirituall pouerty, felt and groned vnder? |
A20169 | What is the reason that so many wauer? |
A20169 | What knowest thou, but tha ● there is but a step betweene thee an ● heauen? |
A20169 | What shall we speake of Naomie who named her self Mara or bitter, in respect of her bitter afflictions? |
A20169 | What should we mention Ionas, who was exceedingly vexed and troubled, when he had no iust cause so to be? |
A20169 | When I lie downe, I sa ● when shall I arise, and the night be gone? |
A20169 | When did Satan most tempt Iob to curse God, but in the depth of his miserie and calamitie? |
A20169 | Which being true, how can it possibly be, that the child of God hauing had at any time sound ioy, should die vncomfortably? |
A20169 | Will the Lord cast off for euer? |
A20169 | Yea but some possibly will obiect and say, Do we not see some men and women to liue long? |
A20169 | Yea do we not see Physitians die as well as patients? |
A20169 | Yea doth he not say further, that No man shall take away their ioy? |
A20169 | Yea what saith Christ himselfe? |
A20169 | Yea what saith our blessed Sauiour? |
A20169 | Yea what shall we speake of Elias, who was euen wearie of his life, by reason of the idolatry and persecution in the dayes of Iesabel? |
A20169 | Yea, do we not behold with our eyes, many Christians which depart out of this life with much heauenly ioy? |
A20169 | Yea, what paines did Christ himselfe endure in the Garden, when he sweat water and bloud? |
A20169 | You will then demand, Is it lawfull therefore for such as are in distresse to complaine? |
A20169 | and may not I hope to liue as long as they? |
A20169 | and shall we not through many tribulations enter into the kingdome of God? |
A20169 | and what torment vpon the Crosse when he cried, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A20169 | art thou any iote the more safe, because of thy securitie? |
A20169 | did they passe away quickly like the Weauers shuttle? |
A20169 | did they vanish away like smoake? |
A20169 | hath he in anger shut vp his tender mercies? |
A20169 | how woul ● men admire the happinesse of such begger as were in possibility euery houre to be aduanced to a kingdome? |
A20169 | or suppose a man be wrongfully slandered, is God the cause of the slander? |
A20169 | shall there be euill in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it? |
A20169 | what surer testimony then the testimony of Gods owne Spirit bearing witnesse with our spirits that we are the children of God? |
A20169 | when wilt thou say, It is enough? |
A20169 | will he be fauourable no more? |
A47613 | Alas Sirs, are not the shadows of the evening upon some of you? |
A47613 | Alas, what is your life, you know not how soon death may come and knock at your doors, or look in at your windows? |
A47613 | And certain I am, you have had many of these in this place, Nay, how many warnings have you had of the near approach of death? |
A47613 | And hath not Gods spirit striven with you also? |
A47613 | And shall none of these work upon you? |
A47613 | Be you sure you shall hear the joyful sound? |
A47613 | But again, Was not Jacob the interest of Labans family? |
A47613 | But should there be Ministers and opportunities, yet you may be left to your selves, to ripen for Hell and ruin? |
A47613 | But stay my soul, pray why so passionate grown, Wilt thou not suffer him to reap his own? |
A47613 | Can he deliver his soul from the power of the grave? |
A47613 | Can none deliver his own soul from the power of the grave? |
A47613 | Can none deliver their own souls from the power of the grave? |
A47613 | Can you close in with a better friend? |
A47613 | Can you still stand it out against such precious patience and offers of grace? |
A47613 | Consider of the shortness and uncertainty of your dayes? |
A47613 | Do you know for certain the Gospel shall be continued to this Land? |
A47613 | Do you know that you shall have all these helps continued to you? |
A47613 | Doth the soul go to the grave? |
A47613 | First, By way of Exhortation, Is it so Beloved, must all men die? |
A47613 | First, Doth not some poor soul hear say, Oh what shall I do that I may be prepared for the grave? |
A47613 | Hath not God afforded you the Gospel beyond what he hath to divers parts of the world? |
A47613 | Have not you and I notwithstanding all this hearkened to a base deceitful heart, and inticeing and tempting Devil? |
A47613 | Have we not grieved, burdened, yea even wearied him with our iniquities? |
A47613 | Have you a heart, a mind, a desire indeed to be fitted for that hour? |
A47613 | Have you not had Summons and Calls from thence? |
A47613 | Have you not let him stand till his head was wet with the dew, and his locks with the drops of the night? |
A47613 | Have you stouted it out against all Pains and Endeavours used for Spiritual awakenings, and are you yet alive? |
A47613 | He having overcome, shall not he receive the Crown? |
A47613 | How did God bless him for Jacobs sake? |
A47613 | How dost thou think to escape the Judgement of God? |
A47613 | How long hath he stood knocking at the doors of your hearts? |
A47613 | How shall the harvest be gathered in, when the chief Labourer in this field is gone? |
A47613 | How shall we then comfort our selves against death? |
A47613 | I s Norcot dead? |
A47613 | Is he not ready to take his farewell of you? |
A47613 | Is it not a sad and most lamentable thing, thus to deal with a loving and gracious God? |
A47613 | Is it so? |
A47613 | Is my hand shortned, that it can not redeem? |
A47613 | Is not one ▪ day with God, beholding his lovely face, better than a thousand? |
A47613 | Is not this that a poor Saint longs for? |
A47613 | Is the Grave the place prepared for all Living? |
A47613 | Is the dark grave the appointed house for all living? |
A47613 | It matters not who reproach us, if Conscience doth not? |
A47613 | It may be you will ask where? |
A47613 | Know ye not that there is a Prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel? |
A47613 | May not the thoughts of this move thee to a preparedness for the grave? |
A47613 | May we not say with the Prophet, No man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? |
A47613 | Ministers, nay, our choice and godly Pastors, must they die too? |
A47613 | Must Fathers die, yea tender Fathers? |
A47613 | Must Fathers, Husbands, Wives, Children, Ministres, and the dearest Friends we have dye? |
A47613 | Must Friends, our dearest Friends die? |
A47613 | Must Husbands die, dear Husbands? |
A47613 | Must all die? |
A47613 | Must all dye, the godly as well as the wicked? |
A47613 | Must every Mothers child of us take up our Lodging there? |
A47613 | Must that little cool house under ground hold us all? |
A47613 | Nay, and hath not Conscience endeavoured to awaken you? |
A47613 | Nay, have we not pierced him? |
A47613 | Nay, what a gracious and powerful ministration of it hath there been continued for some time in this place? |
A47613 | O grave where is thy victory? |
A47613 | O how good is rest to a weary soul? |
A47613 | O what a blessed thing it is to die in Christ? |
A47613 | O will not this be to thy great advantage? |
A47613 | Oh death where is thy sting? |
A47613 | Oh how many able and godly preachers and others have we lost in a short space? |
A47613 | Oh what a defiling, ensnaring, and bewitching world is this? |
A47613 | Oh what a miserable creature hath sin made man, or rather man by sin made himself? |
A47613 | Oh what is a greater trouble to a Child of God than indwelling sin? |
A47613 | Oh what pains did he take with some of you, that so you might be ready? |
A47613 | Oh what would some men give for such a friend? |
A47613 | Oh, saith Joshua, what wilt thou do for thy great name? |
A47613 | Shall Ministers spend their study, their breath, nay their strength, to no purpose: what will you do then in the end? |
A47613 | Shall all means fail? |
A47613 | Shall be deliver his Soul from the hand of the grave? |
A47613 | Shall he call and cry to you and will you give him no entertainment? |
A47613 | Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? |
A47613 | Shall not our Friend go to rest? |
A47613 | Shall the Gospel be preached in vain? |
A47613 | Shall the goodness of God, that should lead to repentance, encourage and harden thee in thy iniquity? |
A47613 | Shall the proudest and loftiest be brought down to the dust? |
A47613 | Sinner what hast thou done, wilt thou sin away thy mercies, sin away thy Ministers? |
A47613 | Some may say what doth a godly man gain by death? |
A47613 | The Godly fail, and ceaseth for to be, Lord, is not this for our iniquity? |
A47613 | The loss is great, oh how shall it be repaired? |
A47613 | Then consider how much this calls upon you to be ready to die? |
A47613 | Then poor sinners shall I prevail with you to prepare for death? |
A47613 | Thirdly, How often hath the Lord called you, and yet you have rebelled? |
A47613 | Was he not graciously calling upon you the last Lords day? |
A47613 | Was not Lot the interest of Sodom? |
A47613 | We have need of more, and Lord do''st thou take away these we have? |
A47613 | What greater vexation to us? |
A47613 | What hinders us of our joy and peace in Christ more than it? |
A47613 | What man is he that liveth and shall not see death? |
A47613 | What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? |
A47613 | What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? |
A47613 | What pains did he take with you, that you might not deceive your selves and miss at last of eternal life? |
A47613 | What will stand your souls in greater stead, when you come to die than this? |
A47613 | When a man hath worked hard all day and wearied himself, how willing is he to go to bed at night? |
A47613 | When death sits upon your trembling lips, and you not prepared, what would you give for peace and pardon then? |
A47613 | Where God gives many talents, he requires the improvement of them; what will become of Jerusalem and Capernaum in the day of Judgement? |
A47613 | Who is able to conceive what a glorious place heaven is? |
A47613 | Who would be unwilling to die, that hath an interest in Jesus Christ? |
A47613 | Will God still suffer his holy Spirit to strive with you? |
A47613 | Will any dare, that are sensible of the worth of their Immortal Souls, neglect this concern any longer? |
A47613 | Will money do nothing, must I die, that have so great riches? |
A47613 | Will you not yet open to Christ? |
A47613 | for ever shall thy wrath burn like fire? |
A47613 | hath it not oft made thee to cry out with St. Paul, Oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of sin and death? |
A47613 | hath not Death subdued them all? |
A47613 | how many sharp checks and rebukes have you had from within? |
A47613 | nay one half year? |
A47613 | that is, Have I lost my power to redeem? |
A47613 | where are those Troops of Israelites that excelled in patience, chastity, temperance, holiness and humility? |
A39777 | 11. shall thy loving kindness be declared in the grave? |
A39777 | 18, 19. Who is a God like unto thee? |
A39777 | 21, 22. Who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me saith the Lord? |
A39777 | 24. and Satan assaulted him here as well as me, and therefore if Gods grace was sufficient for Paul, why not for me also? |
A39777 | 26. and therefore we may well ask the question, How they overcome? |
A39777 | 3, 4. shall their unbelief make the Faith of God of none effect? |
A39777 | 33, 34. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? |
A39777 | And How is Death overcome? |
A39777 | And at this are we sore afraid? |
A39777 | And doth he not also add, weep for your selves? |
A39777 | And doth not every day bear witness? |
A39777 | And doth thy heart fail for fear hereof? |
A39777 | And is not the presence and assistance of Christ enough to encourage thee against fear? |
A39777 | And now O my Soul, Why art thou cast down? |
A39777 | And what is the Consequence? |
A39777 | And who almost is not afraid? |
A39777 | And who that is but a natural man, doth not experience trembling and astonishment at the approach and sight of Death? |
A39777 | And will not God much more forgive us though we fall oft, if we return and seek his face, Seeing his ways are far above our ways? |
A39777 | And with what body do they come? |
A39777 | Are not Believers afraid to die? |
A39777 | Are they not all Clay of the same lump with other men? |
A39777 | Are they not the Sons of men? |
A39777 | Are they there kept in an everlasting Prison under locks, and bars that can not be opened? |
A39777 | Are we not all here this day lamenting a very holy and Eminent Saint, and Servant of Jesus Christ fallen by the stroke of Death? |
A39777 | Art thou to encounter death, hast thou apprehensions of its approaches towards thee? |
A39777 | At this what heart of man can contain and possess himself without fear? |
A39777 | But Lord? |
A39777 | But are these becoming professing Christians, and worthy of the faith of the Resurrection? |
A39777 | But if Believers be thus victorious, and their Victory be so great and Glorious which you tell us, as indeed it is, How do they obtain it? |
A39777 | But man dieth and wasteth away; Yea man giveth up the Ghost, and where is he? |
A39777 | But saith Natural Carnal reason, Is not this a great Paradox? |
A39777 | But shall the Grave always contain them? |
A39777 | But what more victory is this, than what unbelievers shall have, for they also shall rise again? |
A39777 | But whence is all this? |
A39777 | Can Satan be more malicious to destroy thee than the Lord is merciful to save thee? |
A39777 | Can a maid forget her Ornaments, or a Bride her attire? |
A39777 | Did making the Sepulchre sure, Sealing the stone, and setting a Watch forbid Christs Resurrection? |
A39777 | Do we not know their generation? |
A39777 | Doest thou doubt whether I will be with thee, seeing I have sent thee? |
A39777 | Doest thou doubt whether thou shalt save Israel, seeing I have sent thee? |
A39777 | Go in this thy might, thou shalt save Israel — Have not I sent thee? |
A39777 | Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard? |
A39777 | Hath not Christ disarmed thy Enemy? |
A39777 | Hath not he overcome death, and opened the doors of the grave, and given thee the Victory? |
A39777 | Have not I Commanded thee? |
A39777 | Having found much formality in my duties on the Sabbath, and seeing my self lost in them, I put the question to my Soul, what if thou die this night? |
A39777 | Hear Christ rebuking thee as sometimes he rebuked his disciples, Why art thou fearful, thou of little faith? |
A39777 | Hereby I come to see that truth, the heart of man is desperately wicked, who can know it? |
A39777 | Hereupon I am made to cry out with St. Paul, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of Death? |
A39777 | His Call, Have not I Commanded thee? |
A39777 | How are the dead raised up? |
A39777 | How did David behave himself when Iniquities prevailed over him? |
A39777 | How far do we desire to remove death from us? |
A39777 | How is he the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world, if he should cast off guilty Souls when they come unto him? |
A39777 | How sad and damping are the very thoughts thereof to us? |
A39777 | How soon have I healed up the wound that was given by the word? |
A39777 | How wilt thou appear before God? |
A39777 | I am poor and needy, O let me not be forgotten for ever, let not my expectation perish for ever, and now O Lord, what is my expectation? |
A39777 | If I can not suffer shame for Christ, how shall I suffer greater persecutions? |
A39777 | If a man die shall he live again? |
A39777 | If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
A39777 | Is Death so weakly Armed, and art thou so strongly fortified, that thou mayest bid defiance to its Assaults? |
A39777 | Is it not because of the darkness of our Evidence, and carelessness of gaining better assurance of life eternal? |
A39777 | Is it not because we look upon death only with an eye of nature, and not with the eye of faith? |
A39777 | Is it not from our inordinate affection to our worldly interest, our Carnal enjoyments and relations? |
A39777 | Is not the Lord greater than thy heart? |
A39777 | Is there not a fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness to wash in? |
A39777 | Is thy state of sin so little dangerous, that thou mayest securely rest in it? |
A39777 | Lord, When shall the day dawn, and the Day- Star arise in my heart? |
A39777 | Now whence is all this but from the Love and mercy of God that he should be thus willing to have me take his Son? |
A39777 | Now who am I that I should withstand God? |
A39777 | O Death where is thy sting? |
A39777 | O Death, where is thy sting? |
A39777 | O Grave where is thy Victory? |
A39777 | O death where is thy sting? |
A39777 | O grave, where is thy Victory? |
A39777 | Or is it not from the Conscience of some indulged sin, which we have not effectually mortified? |
A39777 | Shall I bring to the Birth, and not cause to bring forth, saith the Lord? |
A39777 | Shall I cause to bring forth and shut the Womb, saith thy God? |
A39777 | Shall we give him less than a Song, a Song of thanksgiving? |
A39777 | Simon lovest thou me? |
A39777 | The voice of rejoycing and Salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doth valiantly& c. Why? |
A39777 | Their Parents, Brethren, and Sisters, are they not with us? |
A39777 | Up, Is not the Lord gone out before thee? |
A39777 | Was it not the end of Christs conquest to deliver his Saints, not only from the hurt, but from the fear of Death? |
A39777 | Was not Abraham afraid when he thought he should be slain? |
A39777 | What gain? |
A39777 | What is it that we see? |
A39777 | What is the hope of the hyprocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his Soul? |
A39777 | What is thy hope? |
A39777 | What man is he that liveth and shall not see death? |
A39777 | What reluctance have we against the very Name of Death? |
A39777 | What saith the Scripture? |
A39777 | What then shall we render to the Lord? |
A39777 | What then? |
A39777 | What thinkest thou? |
A39777 | When shall the Day- spring from on high, visit my Soul, to give light to him that sits in darkness, and in the shadow of death? |
A39777 | Whence then have these men these mighty Works? |
A39777 | Where lieth the great strength of these Samsons? |
A39777 | Where then is the Victory? |
A39777 | Who but must be appalled, confounded, amazed, terrified? |
A39777 | Who ever hardened himself against this Terror of the Lord, and fell not under it? |
A39777 | Who is he that Condemneth? |
A39777 | Who knoweth what shall be on the morrow? |
A39777 | Whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? |
A39777 | Why should I forsake my own Mercies? |
A39777 | Why? |
A39777 | Why? |
A39777 | Would it not then be either a denial or a disparagement of Christs Victory, for a Saint to live in bondage to the fear of Death? |
A39777 | and taken out its sting? |
A39777 | and that we look at our dissolution more than at our resurrection? |
A39777 | of it? |
A39777 | or thy faithfulness in Destruction? |
A39777 | or what a day may bring forth? |
A39777 | shall he deliver his Soul from the hand of the grave? |
A39777 | that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? |
A39777 | who will believe it? |
A39777 | yea Doth not the Lord go out with thee, and stand by thee in this thy last conflict? |
A36326 | 9. and will not a Legion of them be as ready to seize one Soul? |
A36326 | Am I going whither I would not, and yet do these Carriers make such haste? |
A36326 | And did he hear him that Day, and could not he tell that Christ spake to him that day, except Christ added, to Day I say unto thee? |
A36326 | And what Believer, as to outward Circumstances, was poorer and more loathsom than Lazarus? |
A36326 | And why are your Hearts troubled? |
A36326 | And yet the Angels of God did not disdain to carry this Poor Man''s Soul into Abraham''s Bosom? |
A36326 | Angels were ordered to go for him, the Horses and the Chariots were sent to fetch him up: Why is his Chariot so long a coming? |
A36326 | Are all of one Mind? |
A36326 | Are the Gods, the Host of God, come to guard me on my way to Glory? |
A36326 | Are these the Devils I did please? |
A36326 | Are these they I did so daily serve, so readily yield unto? |
A36326 | Are they not all ministring Spirits, sent forth to minister for them, who shall be Heirs of Salvation? |
A36326 | Are ye all agreed to hurry me to Hell? |
A36326 | As the Devil that possessed a Man, being asked, what is thy Name? |
A36326 | Because of these Holy Angels in the Assembly watch your Carriage, shall they see your Eyes rolling after sinful Objects? |
A36326 | By whom? |
A36326 | Can not they give Assistance to me? |
A36326 | Did not he hear him? |
A36326 | Did not he know Christ then spake to him? |
A36326 | Did they take him in their Arms, whom the Rich Man would not take and lay in any of his Out- houses? |
A36326 | Do not the Angels of the Lord encamp round about them that fear him, to deliver them? |
A36326 | Do you know in which? |
A36326 | Doth his Promise fail for evermore? |
A36326 | Hast thou finished thy Course? |
A36326 | Hast thou fought a good Fight? |
A36326 | Hast thou run thy Race? |
A36326 | Hath God forgotten to be Gracious? |
A36326 | Hath he in Anger shut up his tender Mercies? |
A36326 | Hath he spoke the Word? |
A36326 | Have our embraced Sins brought us to the Embracements of such cruel and merciless Tormentors? |
A36326 | How am I rejoiced I shall have your Conduct in this Way I never went before? |
A36326 | How may we imagine, with what direful Shriekings it will cry out and say, Who are all these? |
A36326 | I must I must leave all my dearest Friends in this World; but what will be my Company in the next? |
A36326 | If one Devil, in some frightful visible Shape, should appear to you in the deep and silent Night, what Terrour would the sight thereof fill you with? |
A36326 | Is Christ mine? |
A36326 | Is his Mercy clean gon for ever? |
A36326 | Is my Journey like to be so short, when my Journey''s End will be so bad? |
A36326 | Is there no Hope? |
A36326 | Is there no escaping out of these Hands, I am so suddenly fallen into? |
A36326 | Is there none in whom I might hope for help and Succour, in this distressed Case that I am in? |
A36326 | Is there none to help? |
A36326 | Is there none to whom I might look for a little Mercy? |
A36326 | Is there not one amongst you all will stand my Friend? |
A36326 | It may be, it goes out of the Body, not knowing whither it is going, and how then should it know its Way? |
A36326 | Love should be reciprocal, in loving them that love us: Should not we love the Angels in Heaven, who are so ready to help us up to Heaven? |
A36326 | May I not change my Lodging? |
A36326 | May I not go back again from whence I came? |
A36326 | No such Question there; Will the Lord cast off for ever? |
A36326 | Not one to take my Part, to be on my Side? |
A36326 | O ye Holy Ones, how glad am I to see you? |
A36326 | Or do not you think nor care in which your Soul shall live and lodge for ever? |
A36326 | Shall Heaven be mine? |
A36326 | Shall they see you sleeping under the Word, or in time of Prayer? |
A36326 | They could not in my Body have forced me to Sin; but now, just out of the Body, they do, they do, oh, what shall I do? |
A36326 | They know when any Believer is dissolved by Death, and when his Soul is separated from his Body; else how should they know when to come for it? |
A36326 | They know where any Believer dies, at home or abroad, on his Bed or in the Field, by Land or Sea; else how should they know where to come for it? |
A36326 | Was he not a Beggar that wanted Bread? |
A36326 | Was he not a Cripple, that could not go to, but was laid at the Rich Man''s Gate? |
A36326 | Was he not only sore, but full of Sores, that a nice and squeamish Person would have disdained to look upon him, but much more to dress his Sores? |
A36326 | What Black- Guard is this? |
A36326 | What Difference hath one Hour made? |
A36326 | What Indignation and Anger do they discover, as I go along, against any evil Spirits appearing to endanger me? |
A36326 | What Madness did possess us, for small Profits of the World, to lose the Enjoyments of all the Happiness of Heaven? |
A36326 | What Zeal do these Holy ones shew in protecting of me? |
A36326 | What a Multitude of Sins by this would be prevented? |
A36326 | What a miserable deceived Wretch was I, when in the Body, and how convinced of my Self- deceiving Flattery, as soon as separated from my Body? |
A36326 | What burning Love do I feel in their Embracements? |
A36326 | What if I should make an Error in my Death about my Eternal State? |
A36326 | What if, while I am in the Body, I should suppose that I have the Truth of Grace, and when out of the Body find that I had none? |
A36326 | What is all this Host I am fallen into, and am surrounded with? |
A36326 | What means your Rage? |
A36326 | What meer Creatures are more Noble and Excellent than the Holy Angels in Heaven? |
A36326 | What need Christ add his asserting Verily, to these Words, I say unto thee to day? |
A36326 | What need had Christ to speak the Words thus; Verily I say unto thee to day? |
A36326 | What of the Believer is carried to that Place or State? |
A36326 | When will it be here, that we might have a new Lodger in our Dwellings? |
A36326 | When? |
A36326 | Which, when the separated Soul perceives, enquires, Why so many? |
A36326 | Whither do ye hurry me? |
A36326 | Whither was the Soul carried; what was the Place or State to which it was transported? |
A36326 | Whither will ye carry me? |
A36326 | Why are ye cast down? |
A36326 | Why so many so strong, to one so weak? |
A36326 | Why so many to one? |
A36326 | Why tarry the Wheels of his Chariot? |
A36326 | Will he be Favourable no more? |
A36326 | Will the Holy Scripture, wherein God''s Will and my Duty is revealed, bear me out, if I do this or that? |
A36326 | Will you so grieve those that you hope shall be imployed, in carrying your Soul to Heaven? |
A36326 | Would you grieve thus if I were going a Voyage to the Indies, in Hopes of Gain, with a safe and strong Convoy? |
A36326 | Your Enquiries might be, How shall I love God more, please him better, and be more prepared for my Eternal State? |
A36326 | but where shall it be? |
A36326 | must I thus be posted to such grievous Torments, whence I shall never be delivered? |
A36326 | to this dark and dismal Prison, for the fading Honours of a short and Transitory Life? |
A36326 | ye Men of God, ye Sons of God, how do I rejoice to meet you? |
A30620 | All these things considered, what cause have any of Gods people to be impatient? |
A30620 | And can we think God doth not order his Creatures, and govern, and dispose of them, with as much wisdome as he made them? |
A30620 | And ha''nt we cause? |
A30620 | And if God do but what he may, what are we, that we should complain? |
A30620 | And is there not reason then for you to be dumb, and to hold your peace? |
A30620 | And must he not go, or will you be troubled if he go, when his Father and yours sends for him? |
A30620 | And what wrought him to this pass? |
A30620 | And will ye now be angry, and impatient, that God should rather have his will done, than you yours? |
A30620 | And yet with what admirable patience doth he take it? |
A30620 | Bethink your selves; Is not he who now afflicts you, one whose will you have often crossed? |
A30620 | But can there be any good reason why you should be tormented, because God hath made one of yours happy so soon? |
A30620 | But dare any of you undertake that? |
A30620 | But in these Herse- cloaths this young Catechist you see Bound up, a little volum of Divinity; But why so fast? |
A30620 | But shall we give and take? |
A30620 | But what need we any farther witnesses of this truth? |
A30620 | But who made your thought the rules that God must go by in the ways of his providence? |
A30620 | But whose mouth must not presently be stopt, if God should say to us in our impatiency, what? |
A30620 | But you will say to me, Do you think you can perswade us to all this? |
A30620 | Consider, Doth not be afflict you, whom you have provoked to deal a great deal worse with you? |
A30620 | Did I say, the afflictions of Gods Saints come from one that intends them no hurt? |
A30620 | Did d Saul do Jesse any wrong, or did he think it would be so interpreted, when he sent for his son David to come and wait upon him at Court? |
A30620 | Did you either make his Soul, or so much as one part or member of his Body? |
A30620 | Did you frame him, and fashion him? |
A30620 | Do not ask me how? |
A30620 | Do we not all stand amazed at that Wisdome, by which the Heavens and Earth, and all Creatures in both were made? |
A30620 | Doth he not storm, and rage? |
A30620 | Ergo abiisse preces in sumos? |
A30620 | Have ye not often made this your petition unto his Majesty? |
A30620 | He would oft ask his Sister( who was somewhat younger than himself) whether she trusted in God, and loved God? |
A30620 | Hearken once more, u Shall there be evil in the City, and the Lord hath not done it? |
A30620 | His Father asked him, why he thought so? |
A30620 | His Father speaking to him one day about the Devil and Hell, and things of that nature, asked him if he were not afraid to be alone? |
A30620 | Hoc solum longae pretium virtutis habebis? |
A30620 | How calm is he? |
A30620 | How doth he take all this? |
A30620 | How far from murmuring? |
A30620 | How few such of his age are to be found? |
A30620 | How fit and meet is it they should be dumb under his afflicting hand? |
A30620 | How oft doth he destroy whole Kingdomes, and lay them wast, and not make breaches in private families only? |
A30620 | How often must I break your reeds ere you will learn to take heed of leaning over much upon them? |
A30620 | If we do it really and in good earnest, why do we repine when God takes but that, which is not only his own, but which we have freely given him? |
A30620 | If we do not mean to give up our selves, and ours to God, why do we play the hypocrites, and pretend it? |

A19568 | Will they more impotently stumble at the despaire of Gods mercy? |
A19568 | Will ye still goe on in the wayes of sinne, though ye can not prosper? |
A19568 | Will yee not take heed lest lesse policy make you to fall, as Eve fell, which was full of bitternesse to her and hers? |
A19568 | Will yee not thinke of to day, while it is called to day? |
A19568 | Will you be dismaied in any trouble, or cast off your confidence, as if Gods hand were tyed up now more than in those dayes? |
A19568 | Will you say hee is my sweet Saviour still? |
A19568 | Will you yet neglect so great salvation? |
A19568 | Ye goe on in sinne, and thrive, and are merry, and what evill can come? |
A19568 | Yea, but are they not deceived in the worke of it? |

A47489 | And if so, how could they be Two distinct Covenants? |
A47489 | And may not Believers in Christ lay claim to Christ''s reward? |
A47489 | And never from Christ''s Truth did start or swerve Shall Envy then his Name or Glory stain? |
A47489 | Art poor? |
A47489 | Art thou afraid thou shalt sometime or another depart from God, or fall away from him? |
A47489 | Art thou backsliden from God? |
A47489 | Art thou like a dry withered Tree? |
A47489 | Art thou tempted? |
A47489 | Art thou weary? |
A47489 | But methinks I hear some poor sinner crying out, How may I come to be in this Covenant? |
A47489 | Can a dead Man quicken himself? |
A47489 | Can he deliver his Soul from the Hand of the Grave? |
A47489 | Can others come to Christ who have not the like Faith and Repentance given to them? |
A47489 | Can we believe before the Habit is infused from whence the Act proceedeth? |
A47489 | Can we subdue the Powers of darkness, or break Satan''s Chains? |
A47489 | Dare you not venture on Christ? |
A47489 | Dare you plead it at God''s Bar? |
A47489 | Did Christ enter into a Covenant for himself? |
A47489 | Did he merit for himself, and for us only a conditional Covenant? |
A47489 | Did not we all rise from the dead with Christ, vertually when he was raised? |
A47489 | Do thy sins appear grievous to thee? |
A47489 | Do we( saith the Apostle) make void the law through faith? |
A47489 | Dost thou believe that thou canst not be saved, but by the Death of Jesus Christ? |
A47489 | Dost thou fear Satan will be too hard for thee? |
A47489 | Doth not Paul close his Epistles, with a sort of Prayer, to the Holy Spirit, as well to the Father, and to the Son? |
A47489 | Doth not he begin the good Work in us, and will he not perform it unto the end? |
A47489 | Faith is the Gift of the Promise, therefore not the Condition of it; they are Foederalia relata: Can a Promise or a Gift be a Condition of it self? |
A47489 | God calls home his Ambssadours, a- pace, what may we expect? |
A47489 | Hath Christ performed his part so in the Covenant of Redemption, that he hath no more to do, by vertue of his Mediatory Covenant? |
A47489 | Have not I done his Business for him? |
A47489 | How many years did he his Master serve? |
A47489 | How would he have Gloried and have Blasphemed God, had not this Covenant been provided? |
A47489 | I have found David my Servant, my Covenant shall stand fast with him; when did God find him, Was it not before the World began? |
A47489 | I hope they may mean well, but may they not fear they mistake? |
A47489 | I would know what that Reward is which Christ doth challenge, is it not Grace, Righteousness and Eternal Life for all the Elect? |
A47489 | I would know whether all the Elect were not considered in Christ, and was it not for us that he entered into that Covenant? |
A47489 | If Faith and Repentance be given to the Elect, who are saved? |
A47489 | If you will say, it is a Promise to a Condition, what kind of Condition was it? |
A47489 | Is it not said, The Seed of the Woman shall bruise his Head? |
A47489 | Is it not that he might Quicken us, and Communicate of his Grace to us, as he is our Head and( Mediator) and we his Members? |
A47489 | Is it this? |
A47489 | Is not Christ the Mediator? |
A47489 | Is not Union with Christ, the only way to the promised Blessings? |
A47489 | Is not he the Author and Finisher of our Faith? |
A47489 | Is not here Relief for thee, if thou art afflicted? |
A47489 | Is not the Debter a party with the Surety, and so the Elect a party with Christ? |
A47489 | Is the Covenant of Grace made with Christ for us? |
A47489 | Is there no Help? |
A47489 | Is there not all things that you want in Christ, and ● n this Covenant? |
A47489 | Is this to get Union with Christ? |
A47489 | Many we lost before, for which we mourn, And shall we Forty lose without a Groan? |
A47489 | Must bring, Doth not that Obligation that was upon him, referr to the Covenant made with the Father? |
A47489 | Must not Christ perform all these things for us? |
A47489 | No Relief for your Souls in this Covenant? |
A47489 | Now''t is question''d,( saith Reverend Cotton,) whether the Promise wherein the Lord giveth himself, be Absolute or Conditional? |
A47489 | Or Prejudice wound him to death again? |
A47489 | Or not deem him a Prince in Israel? |
A47489 | Say if you can, what cause gave he to fear, He was not ev''ry way a Man sincere? |
A47489 | Shall Christ and all Covenant Mercies be offered to you? |
A47489 | Shall we not sigh for him who lately fell? |
A47489 | Souls what aileth you? |
A47489 | Souls, ● emember God calls it his Covenant, where is it called our Covenant? |
A47489 | Thy Seed, Who doth he speak to? |
A47489 | True, we merit nothing; but did not Christ merit all for us? |
A47489 | VVere not all the Elect, or all Christ dyed for, vertually( as in our Head) reconciled to God by the Death of Christ? |
A47489 | Was he sure or certain of any one Soul, as the Reward of all this hard Work and Sufferings? |
A47489 | Was not then the Covenant of Grace as Ancient? |
A47489 | Were not all that Christ died for, chosen in him before the foundation of the World? |
A47489 | What are we able to do, when dead in Sin and Trespasses? |
A47489 | What is the Purport of this Doctrine, as it is improved by our new Methodists? |
A47489 | What short of Almighty Power can form the Image of God in the Soul, or create us again in Christ Jesus? |
A47489 | Where is that Image now which thou stampt on his Soul? |
A47489 | Why is Christ called a Quickening Spirit, and so full of Grace? |
A47489 | Why, Is not the purport of it this? |
A47489 | Wicked Men dye, so do the Godly, and as do the People, so do their Ministers, The Fathers, where are they? |
A47489 | Will you make God a Liar? |
A47489 | Will you plead your sincere Obedience? |
A47489 | Will you venture your Souls upon it? |
A47489 | With whom was the Covenant of Grace made? |
A47489 | a Feast of fat Things provided for you, and will you make light of this Offer? |
A47489 | above Christ, above the Salvation of your Souls; can you think God will give himself to you? |
A47489 | and afraid thou shalt want Bread? |
A47489 | and can any perform the Terms of this Covenant without Christ, in the Execution of his Office as our Mediator and Surety? |
A47489 | and can there be such a noble Effect without the cause from whence it proceeds? |
A47489 | and doth not the Apostle assure us that we shall much more be saved by Christ''s Life, if he reconciled us to God by his Death? |
A47489 | and has he undertaken for our Souls as our Surety? |
A47489 | and how few raised up in their stead? |
A47489 | and is it not particularly implyed in those Words, he shall see his Seed? |
A47489 | and not believe the Record he hath given of his Son? |
A47489 | and the Prophets, do they live for ever? |
A47489 | are we stronger than the strong Man ● rmed? |
A47489 | art a wretched sinner? |
A47489 | but 2 dly, Hath not he obtained Grace for us, to enable us to believe? |
A47489 | but he only? |
A47489 | but let out his Wrath upon him, and will he spare you? |
A47489 | do you not tremble to think of the evil of sin? |
A47489 | dost thou thirst? |
A47489 | doth not Faith flow from a Principle of divine Life? |
A47489 | doth not the Apostle argue from the greater Gift of God''s Grace to the lesser Gift? |
A47489 | for your sins? |
A47489 | how doth the Love of the Father abound towards us? |
A47489 | how then can that be a distinct Covenant from the Covenant of Grace; is dead Man, vile, and depraved Man, capable to enter into a Covenant with God? |
A47489 | i. e. Christ doth not believe for us; Who says he doth? |
A47489 | in the Beauty of Holiness: Is Christ a true and proper Redeemer of all? |
A47489 | is it ordered in all things and sure? |
A47489 | is this Regeneration? |
A47489 | or can he refuse to live that has life infused into him? |
A47489 | or move before we have Life or are quickened? |
A47489 | or, Will that Grace, God affords to all Men do it? |
A47489 | that have your own sins and horrid guilt and pollution charged upon your own Souls? |
A47489 | the Covenant of Grace? |
A47489 | to undertake to enter into Covenant with God any more? |
A47489 | was not Christ set up as Mediator from Everlasting? |
A47489 | was not the Gift of Christ in his death for us a greater gift than the gift of the Spirit to us? |
A47489 | what a dangerous state are we in? |
A47489 | what good will this do you? |
A47489 | what''s the cause of your Disquietments and Sorrow? |
A47489 | why should we be of good chear upon his overcoming the World, if it was not for us, and to assure us that we shall overcome it? |
A47489 | why, to his Servant, doth not these Promises referr to that Covenant made with Christ, which you call the Covenant of Redemption? |
A47489 | will you value your base Lusts above God? |
A47489 | would not he have said, Where is thy Creature Man, that thou madest but a little lower than the Angels, and made a Ruler over thy nether Creation? |
A47489 | ● ● l this building will fall to the ground; is this to take hold of the Covenant? |
A39578 | & 27. without any impeachment to his Justice; What shall we say when we come under his hand in any of those chastisements that are laid upon us? |
A39578 | Admit this: But I pray who hath done 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A39578 | And can you suppose that he that is so absolutely knowing in the course of Justice, should doe me, or you Injustice, contrary to his knowledge? |
A39578 | And have I not reason to bear it from his hands, from whose hands I have received so much good? |
A39578 | And how can I wish to stand any longer? |
A39578 | And if it be thus, why should I complain? |
A39578 | And if we sinne against God, Shall we not be dumb when God afflicts us for our sin? |
A39578 | And is there any wiser then God? |
A39578 | And may not he dispose of the Creature that he is Lord of? |
A39578 | And shall he be denied that liberty which his Creatures have, to dispose of his own work? |
A39578 | And therefore when Gods time comes, Wilt thou not be willing to part with ● arth, that thou maist enjoy thy Heaven where it is? |
A39578 | And when my turn is served, why should I grudge that others should be served as well as I? |
A39578 | And will not you dispense with y ● ur supposed right to let him enjoy them after you have used them? |
A39578 | And wilt thou not be content to part with those, since it leaves thee these? |
A39578 | And yet would you have God bound to perpetuate your relations, during your pleasure, when you can not challenge them? |
A39578 | Answer thy self, Why not thee as well as any? |
A39578 | Are ye stronger then he? |
A39578 | As if he had said, Oh my soul, dost thou consider from whom thy afflictions come, that thou thus complainest? |
A39578 | As of Job, so it may well be said of him in after- times, Have you not heard of th ● Patience of Whitaker? |
A39578 | But I have not quite done my expostulation; Could you challenge it of debt to have such relations? |
A39578 | But What then is the meaning? |
A39578 | But is he bound, because he hath done it to continue his course so long as I please? |
A39578 | But it is a very great Question, Whether we have been like David in our afflictions? |
A39578 | But what do I speak of an House, in Heaven? |
A39578 | But what is the use? |
A39578 | But what then will argue our silence upon this Consideration that God hath done it? |
A39578 | Can there be a better way, or a fitter ● season then wisdom it self hath found out? |
A39578 | Did God give them, and are you not content that you have had them so long 〈 ◊ 〉 he was pleased to spar ● them? |
A39578 | Did ever any Paren ● lose such a childe, so 〈 ◊ 〉, so dutifull, so graci ● ● ●, as I have done? |
A39578 | Did ever any woman lose such a Husband, so kinde, so pitifull, so bountifull, so helpfull to soul and body? |
A39578 | Did he dispense with his right to let you enjoy them, though they were his? |
A39578 | Do I not live with expectation to die? |
A39578 | Do ye provoke God to anger? |
A39578 | Do you know that God hath done it? |
A39578 | Do you know who hath done it? |
A39578 | Do you provoke the Lord to anger? |
A39578 | Foolish man that sufferest thy self to be fired with thy Cross, dost thou know at whom thou murmurest and repinest? |
A39578 | God hath done it, and wilt thou call him to account? |
A39578 | God hath done it, who shall implead him? |
A39578 | Have you been silent: Can you say? |
A39578 | Have you moderated your passions, and not suffered the flouds to overflow the banks? |
A39578 | He hath done it that may do what he will ●, will it not follow, that I must be silent towards him that doth it? |
A39578 | He hath satisfied for me, and justified me by his bloud, who shall condemn? |
A39578 | He hath seen folly in his Angels, and dost thou think to set up thy wisdom? |
A39578 | He is the Almighty God, What canst thou do? |
A39578 | He is the Judge of all the world, and shall not he do right? |
A39578 | He that made Heaven and Earth according to his will, may not he doe what he will in Heaven and Earth? |
A39578 | How glorious was God himself in that grace which was given to this Saint, by which he stood so invincibly in his sharp encounters? |
A39578 | How illustrious did this grace of God make this Saint of God? |
A39578 | How much more doth God love when he doth correct? |
A39578 | I pray you who gave them or made them such to you? |
A39578 | If any man that is afflicted say, Why me rather then another? |
A39578 | If it be better for me to lose my childe, then to have it, to lose my wife then to have her, to lose my Name or Estate then to have it? |
A39578 | Let us therefore put this question to our owne hearts in all our sufferings; My soul, which must give place to other? |
A39578 | Must God have dependance on us? |
A39578 | Must he that gives us such good blessings be made our debtour by the blessings which he gives? |
A39578 | My Soul, dost thou know what this means? |
A39578 | My will to the designe, counsell and glory of God, or Gods counsel and glory to my will? |
A39578 | Nay, but O man, who art thou that repliest against God? |
A39578 | None can force him to retreat, or say to him, What doest thou? |
A39578 | Now whence all this, and all the rest that breaks forth into a seab in mens carriages under affliction? |
A39578 | Now who would not be silent under the Rod, which hears that the Rod speaks so much love to him, that with silence bears it as a childe? |
A39578 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
A39578 | Oh death, where is thy sting? |
A39578 | Oh my Soul, Shall not grace make thee willing to put off thy natural life, to put on this living and immarcessible Crown? |
A39578 | Oh my Soul, why dost thou linger? |
A39578 | Oh now make use of this Consideration when you are under affliction, would you be dumb and silent under Gods hand? |
A39578 | Or if we have, Whether it have been upon this Consideration, because God hath done it? |
A39578 | Or shall we quit our dependance on him? |
A39578 | Shall I not be willing to follow when so many, and such excellent ones, have gone before? |
A39578 | Shall a conquered enemy, disanimate the Conquerour? |
A39578 | Shall dust and ashes be angry with his Maker? |
A39578 | Shall he that hateth right govern? |
A39578 | Shall not he that is a free Agent have liberty to act freely? |
A39578 | Shall not he that preacheth Heaven, be willing to die, that he may be in Heaven? |
A39578 | Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? |
A39578 | Shall the creature become wise, and direct his Maker? |
A39578 | Shall we provoke God by sinne, and yet quarrell with God, when we have provoked him? |
A39578 | Shall 〈 ◊ 〉 not desire, at least be ● ontent to die, that I may 〈 ◊ 〉 present with the Lord? |
A39578 | Sometimes full of complaint under their burthens, Was ever sorrow like my sorrow? |
A39578 | Thou hast to deal with God, not with man; What dost thou mean thus to lift up thy self? |
A39578 | Thou speakest foolishly, O my soul, shall we receive good at the hands of God, and shall we not receive evil? |
A39578 | Well, and 〈 ◊ 〉 you quarrel with him, or not be silent under his hand? |
A39578 | Were they so good to you, and are they too good for God? |
A39578 | What did Jonah get by his passion? |
A39578 | What hath he got by bringing Christ to the Crosse, to the Grave? |
A39578 | What have I done, or what could I do to oblige him to that which he hath done for me? |
A39578 | What? |
A39578 | When God hath put you into the prison, have you staid there, till his discharge hath been your warrant? |
A39578 | When Jobs wife( stirred up by the Devil no question) came to stirre up discontent in him against God, Dost thou still retain thine Integrity? |
A39578 | Whether we have been dumb, and not opened our mouths? |
A39578 | Who ever hardened himself against God, and prospered? |
A39578 | Who hath given him counsel, or of whom hath he learned understanding? |
A39578 | Why doth a living man complain? |
A39578 | Why is God a debtor unto me? |
A39578 | Why then should I be troubled at death, which will case me of the trouble of ● ● y life? |
A39578 | Will you complain, murmur, dispute, or pine away with sorrow, for what God hath done? |
A39578 | Would any man that is heir to a Kingdom desire to live any where but in the Kingdom to which he is an heir? |
A39578 | Wouldst thou not fain see that mansion that Christ went to prepare for thee? |
A39578 | You can hardly be ● ilent under such afflictions; Now you complain, Was ever any sorrow like my sorrow? |
A39578 | You might have had worse, and been crossed in them, as much as you were blessed, were they not the gifts and blessings of God? |
A39578 | and not to please himself when he will, by changing of his course? |
A39578 | are ye stronger then he? |
A39578 | or man that is a worm suffer his bloud to heat, his passions to boyl up, if he consider that God hath done it? |
A39578 | or will you condemn him that is most just? |
A39578 | with God? |
A66053 | ( i. e.) What was the chief employment or business, which they should apply themselves to in this world? |
A66053 | 12, 13, God is greater than man, why dost thou strive against him? |
A66053 | Among all these Innocent Offices and Rites of the Primitive Christians, was there any thing of prayer for souls in Purgatory? |
A66053 | And Tully asserts it impossible to conceive of God without this perfection; Nos Deum nisi sempiternum intelligere quî possumus? |
A66053 | And can any one judge it reasonable, that God should have less power over us, than we have over the works of our hands? |
A66053 | And can any thing be more reasonable, than for that to be the chief business of a man''s life, which is the chief end of his Being? |
A66053 | And can there be any thing better than what God appoints? |
A66053 | And do the Prophets, or Princes, live for ever? |
A66053 | And if it be supernatural, that grants the thing I am proving, namely such a Supreme Being as can alter the course of nature? |
A66053 | And if there be any such, why are they not produced? |
A66053 | And in speaking of these, where shall I begin? |
A66053 | And is it not a shame for such an one, to be a slave to every slight trouble? |
A66053 | And on the other side, if we consult experience; Who are the men most obnoxious to diseases? |
A66053 | And then what ground can there be for any pretence to Religion? |
A66053 | And what if they fall short of the shadow, when they have the substance, in a better and true Immortality? |
A66053 | And who art thou O man that repliest against God? |
A66053 | And who shall take care for the adjudging of them to their proper season? |
A66053 | Are these things Nothing in our sight? |
A66053 | As for Revenge, how could it enter into the breast of him that hated nothing but that which makes us hateful to God? |
A66053 | As for our fathers, where are they? |
A66053 | As for us that are now to try how we can bear the want of those many blessings we enjoyed in him; What shall we say? |
A66053 | Beasts and plants, the sun and stars; 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; And what do you conceive your business to be? |
A66053 | But are all complaints then in affliction unlawful? |
A66053 | But now on the other side, what if there should be a Deity so holy, and just, and powerful, as is supposed? |
A66053 | But what is that which we should consider? |
A66053 | Can any rational man doubt, whether one of these were not a piece of Coyn, and the other a Grave- stone? |
A66053 | Can that man be thought to need any further confutation or pursuit, who is forced to fly to such a retreat? |
A66053 | Did not he appoint the time, and place, and part you are to act upon the Theater of this world? |
A66053 | Did not he give you a being in the world? |
A66053 | Do not fix your eye or your thoughts, chiefly upon the smart of them, without regarding the benefit of them? |
A66053 | Do they expect Mathematical proof and certainty in Moral things? |
A66053 | Do you consider what you are, and whence you came, and upon what business? |
A66053 | Do you not knowingly and wilfully entertain prejudices against such things? |
A66053 | For a man to take an Essay of the nature of any species of things from such particular instances, as in their kinds are monstrous? |
A66053 | For let it be but impartially considered; what is it, that such men would have? |
A66053 | From sickness and pain, from labour and danger, from sorrow, and fear, and care, and what not? |
A66053 | Have you been true to so much light as you have received? |
A66053 | He that gave hath power to take, and why should I resist? |
A66053 | He that gives to men understanding, shall not be know? |
A66053 | He that made the eye, shall be not see? |
A66053 | How furious at the churlishness of Nabal? |
A66053 | How is it possible for us to conceive of God, but as being Eternal? |
A66053 | How is it, that very probably a considerable part of it is yet unknown? |
A66053 | How much more, when for ought we know, they are taken away for our sins? |
A66053 | How passionate at the death of Absolom? |
A66053 | I would ask such, Have you seriously and impartially considered, what is alledged in this case? |
A66053 | If the Jews would say so too, what could we have more? |
A66053 | If the World had been eternal, How comes it to pass, that it is not every- where inhabited and cultivated? |
A66053 | If thou mayest refuse the condion or work assigned thee, why may not another do so, and according to this, what order could there be in the world? |
A66053 | In all this time, first of Pain, then of dreadful Apprehension, at last in the presence of Death; Who ever saw him dismaid? |
A66053 | Is there any Equity or the least colour of Reason in this? |
A66053 | Is there any thing imaginable more wild and extravagant amongst those in Bedlam, than this would be? |
A66053 | Nay when shall I end, if I say all that may be spoken? |
A66053 | Or have you not rather with- held it in unrighteousness? |
A66053 | Others are Lunaticks or Ideots, should any man from hence infer, that there is no such thing as Reason? |
A66053 | Quis dubitet, quin Mundus recens ac novus sit, cum Historia Graeca, bis mille annorum historiam vix contineat? |
A66053 | Quis hunc hominem dixerit? |
A66053 | Quis verò es tu? |
A66053 | Remember them, says the Apostle: What, those that are present? |
A66053 | Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? |
A66053 | Should not the nobility of our natures advance us to a more generous temper, and make us erect and chearful under such troubles? |
A66053 | Should not the potter have power over the clay? |
A66053 | So Tully relates of him, speaking to those of that Sect, Ubi igitur vestrum beatum& AEternum, quibus duobus verbis significatis Deum? |
A66053 | Some men are born blind, or have lost their sight, will it hence follow, that there is no such thing in nature as Light or Colour? |
A66053 | Thou foolish man( saith Epictetus) dost not thou desire that which may be most convenient for thee? |
A66053 | Thou hast set thy servant amongst them that eat at thine own table, what right therefore have I to cry any more unto the King? |
A66053 | Thus also hath it been with particular persons; Amongst the Heathen, what Elogies do we find in the honour of Socrates, Aristides, Cato, Epictetus? |
A66053 | Unde est haec inquam fatis avolsa voluntas? |
A66053 | Was there any thing of prayer to Saints departed this life? |
A66053 | What can be more obvious than to infer a supreme Deity, from that order and government we may behold amongst the heavenly Bodies? |
A66053 | What could be more inconsistent with the rules of Justice, and the wise ends of Government? |
A66053 | What else made the Egyptian Kings lay out their wealth on Pyramids, and the like stupendious buildings? |

A49252 | As it is with a man asleep in a ship, the ship may bring him home safe to the harbour, and yet he not know of it? |
A49252 | But here me thinks I hear some kind of people ready to object against me, and say, What, doe you go about to beat us off from our hopes of heaven? |
A49252 | But here some may object and say; What doe you tell us here in England, that wee are without God in the world? |
A49252 | But then again why is their being aliens to the commonwealth of Israel put in the second place? |
A49252 | Can we beleeve there is a heaven so excellent and glorious, and yet shun it? |
A49252 | Christ is full of grace and truth, Why? |
A49252 | Christ says to Saul; Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
A49252 | Did you ever make a powerfull prayer unto God for him? |
A49252 | Did you ever see your misery without him? |
A49252 | Did you ever sigh, and sob, and cry mightily unto God for him? |
A49252 | Do you take greater industry, and complacency in the committing of sin, then ever you did in the performance of any holy duty? |
A49252 | Do you think that Christ fel from heaven, into your bosome whether you would or no? |
A49252 | Doe you labour still to resemble God in holinesse? |
A49252 | Doe you labour to be holy as hee was holy? |
A49252 | Doe you look on things after the outward appearance? |
A49252 | Does thy conscience never trouble thee after the commission of sinnes? |
A49252 | Doest thou any of these wayes entertain and harbour thoughts of Atheisme in thy heart? |
A49252 | Doest thou make impunity to be a provocation to impiety? |
A49252 | Doest thou place thy affections upon any thing in the world more then upon God? |
A49252 | Doest thou professe to know God, and in thy works deny him? |
A49252 | For the order of the words, Why is their being without Christ put in the first place of the Text, and their being without God put in the last place? |
A49252 | He judged the cause of the poore and needy, then it was well with him; was not this to know me, saith the Lord? |
A49252 | He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings; does not thy conscience tell thee O man, that thou dost not care for any command of Jesus Christ? |
A49252 | How came you by Christ then? |
A49252 | How doth God know? |
A49252 | How many are there that can say, they never goe to God upon their knees in secret, to beg for grace and mercy from God? |
A49252 | I am thy God all sufficient,( what then?) |
A49252 | If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, and all things are become new; are you new creatures? |
A49252 | If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous doe? |
A49252 | Is hatred and contempt of the people of God, a badge of an atheist? |
A49252 | Let me ask you this question, Did you ever see an absolute necessity in your own souls, of getting an interest in Jesus Christ? |
A49252 | Let me ask you this question, How can you evidence that you have an interest in Christ, by your walking? |
A49252 | Now this being the case of every man, what shall we do? |
A49252 | O Grave, where is thy victory? |
A49252 | O Grave, where is thy victory? |
A49252 | O Grave, where is thy victory? |
A49252 | Or do you backslide from the wayes of Christ both in judgement, and in practise? |
A49252 | Sayes the young man to Christ, What shall I doe to inherit eternall life? |
A49252 | The High Priest was not upon pain of death to come to the Mercy- seat, unlesse he brought incense with him; now what does this signifie to us? |
A49252 | The strength of sin is the Law] How is that to be understood? |
A49252 | This challenge is illustrated by a Prolepsis or an Anticipation of an objection: some might ask, What is this sting of Death? |
A49252 | Thou that sayest thou hast an interest in Christ, let me ask you this question, How came you by your interest in Christ? |
A49252 | Though you do not do man wrong, yet doe you not your own souls wrong? |
A49252 | Though you pay every man his own, yet do you give God his own? |
A49252 | What are the characters of those men that are without any reall interest and propriety in God as their God, in a way of Covenant and relation? |
A49252 | What benefit will it be to thee, that you do no body else wrong, when you doe your own souls wrong? |
A49252 | What do you see in the world, or in the present life to make you in love with it? |
A49252 | What is it to be a stranger to the Covenants of Promise? |
A49252 | What is meant by the Covenants of Promise? |
A49252 | What is the difference between a covenant and a promise? |
A49252 | What is the difference between the Covenants and the Promise? |
A49252 | What is the meaning of this, the body is dead because of sinne? |
A49252 | What is this power of the Grave? |
A49252 | Why is it called the covenants of promise? |
A49252 | and beg the Father earnestly for him? |
A49252 | and doest thou carry in thy minde a forgetfulnesse of the day of Judgement? |
A49252 | and how shall we extricate our souls from such a labyrinth of endlesse horrour? |
A49252 | and humble, and meeke, and lowly as hee was? |
A49252 | are all your old sins passed away? |
A49252 | are such as these atheists? |
A49252 | are you not weary of misery and sin? |
A49252 | can he judge through the thick clouds? |
A49252 | can we hope for such an* incorruptible inheritance, and yet be afraid of it? |
A49252 | can you evidence it to your own souls, that ever since you were first born, you were new born? |
A49252 | do we count it a priviledge, or a misery, and a burden? |
A49252 | doth not God rule and governe and preserve the World? |
A49252 | hath God written the Sermons you have heard, not in your books, but in your hearts? |
A49252 | have you a promise or any ground in scripture for your hopes? |
A49252 | have you been ever washed with clean water, and those stains of sin and corruption wiped away from you? |
A49252 | how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? |
A49252 | is not God sometimes very low in your estimation, and other things set above him? |
A49252 | mark the next words) and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? |
A49252 | or are you obstinately ignorant, and wil not learn more? |
A49252 | or are you without a saving power derived from Christ, enabling you to mortifie your bosome lusts? |
A49252 | or doest thou distrust the providence of God in times of trouble and distresse? |
A49252 | or dost thou make no conscience of the performance of secret duties? |
A49252 | or one Scripture ground for it? |
A49252 | or rather do you not wrong God, and do him infinite indignities? |
A49252 | or the witnesse of the Spirit for it? |
A49252 | that in simplicity and godly sincerity, you have had your conversation here in this world? |
A49252 | that we shall enter upon it too soon? |
A49252 | thou wilt not forsake thy lusts, nor leave thy sins, and therefore what hast thou to do to meddle with my covenant of grace? |
A49252 | to be in the Armes of our beloved Jesus? |
A49252 | to fear an enemy so often vanquished by Christ and his Saints? |
A49252 | to have the company of the body, or the company of Christ? |
A49252 | what Prince would live uncrowned? |
A49252 | what heir would whine when hee is called to come and take the inheritance? |
A49252 | what thoughts have we of eternall life? |
A49252 | would you bereave us of our hopes and drive us into despair? |
A44673 | 1. Who it is that claims the Power here spoken of? |
A44673 | 1. Who it is that claims, and asserts to himself this Power here spoken of? |
A44673 | And What is their Life? |
A44673 | And because we can not be positive, Will we therefore say or think, there can be no such thing, or nothing but dull inactivity in those Regions? |
A44673 | And can you think to be related to him, upon other terms? |
A44673 | And consider, how darest thou live otherwise in this Flesh, in this Earthly House, whereof he keeps the Keys, and can fetch thee out at his pleasure? |
A44673 | And do we consider in what hand this Power is lodg''d? |
A44673 | And do you not know that upon these ▪ you may? |
A44673 | And dost thou not know there must be to this purpose, an express transaction between him and thee? |
A44673 | And for the support of that, in the most principal Doctrines, and Laws of it, what is our prospect? |
A44673 | And hath this no pleasant comfortable aspect upon a lost World? |
A44673 | And how absurd were it to prefer this Temporary Kingdom to the Eternal one, and present serviceableness to this, to perpetual service in the other? |
A44673 | And how much more? |
A44673 | And if for a few, why not for many? |
A44673 | And is that all? |
A44673 | And should we complain, That he is put early, into a Station of much higher Dignity, than we thought of? |
A44673 | And the same reason always remaining, why not for alwaies? |
A44673 | And they that rest not Night or Day from such high and glorious employments, have they nothing to do? |
A44673 | And was this the end a reasonable Spirit, was made for, when, without reason, sense were alike capable of the same sort of gratifications? |
A44673 | And what a perverse distorted Mind is that, which can so much as wish it should be otherwise? |
A44673 | And what else could any unbrib''d understanding conclude, or conceive? |
A44673 | And what now remains to be ascertain''d? |
A44673 | And what then, if we were required to draw up our petition? |
A44673 | And what? |
A44673 | And when we are told of many Heavens, above all which our Lord Jesus is said to have ascended; are all those Heavens, only empty solitudes? |
A44673 | And whence should so common an impression be, but from a cause as common? |
A44673 | And who are we? |
A44673 | And why should we suppose them not replenish''t with glorious Inhabitants?) |
A44673 | And would any one that hath a Child he delights in, wish him to be a Child always, and only capable of Childish things? |
A44673 | And, Madam, who could have a more pleasant Retrospect, upon former days, than y ● u? |
A44673 | Are we to make a less judicious estimate of the Works of God? |
A44673 | Because that other World is Hades, and we see nothing, shall we make little, or next to nothing of it? |
A44673 | But do they think to laugh away the Power of the Son of God? |
A44673 | But do we not know God hath given him a Name above every Name? |
A44673 | But how absurd were it to reckon the means of greater importance than the end it self? |
A44673 | But how remote is it from you, upon Consideration, to wish your self back, into your juvenile State, and Circumstances? |
A44673 | But how? |
A44673 | But is there not equal reason to fear, that before the Day of Mercy come, there may be a nearer Day of Wrath, coming? |
A44673 | But who sees not that Religion as such, hath a final reference to a future state? |
A44673 | But will God be mocked? |
A44673 | But yet more distinctly consider, why doth he here represent himself under this Character, He that liveth and was dead? |
A44673 | Did secure Sinners consider this, how he beholds them with a flame in his Eye, and the Key in his hand, would they dare still to trifle? |
A44673 | Do but consider him who makes the Discovery, and who would not expect from him the utmost efforts of Love and Goodness? |
A44673 | Do not we? |
A44673 | Doth it not signify infinite unlimited Power, and Goodness? |
A44673 | Doth not this World owe so much to him? |
A44673 | Doth this World owe less to him, that bears these Keys, than Egypt did to Joseph, when thus the Royal word went forth in reference to him? |
A44673 | Either obliging, or not restraining them, requiring, or licensing them to do this or that? |
A44673 | Enquire we, Do our Hearts repine at this Law? |
A44673 | Had this been Redemption? |
A44673 | Have you never said if thou go not with me, carry me not hence? |
A44673 | He thought not himself concern''d to advise with any of us, about it, who, as his Counsellor, should instruct him? |
A44673 | How bold an affront to their Soveraign Lord? |
A44673 | How hopeful their Youth? |
A44673 | How pleasant and diverting might their Childhood have been? |
A44673 | How useful their Riper Age? |
A44673 | I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no Man lift up his hand or foot in all the Land of Egypt? |
A44673 | If there were but one single Instance hereof in an Age, who would not, with trembling expect the Issue? |
A44673 | In the mean time, Is this Emmanuel''s Land? |
A44673 | Is it no part of Christian watchfulness to wait for such an hour? |
A44673 | Is it not fit every one should know under whose Government they live? |
A44673 | Is it that he was to Die at all? |
A44673 | Is not, God, the name of a Being incapable of limitation? |
A44673 | Now, what do we mean to let our Souls hang in doubt? |
A44673 | Only our own intervening death? |
A44673 | Or can make it fit that the nobler and more excellent Nature, should be eternally subservient to the meaner, and more ignoble? |
A44673 | Or can we live as if we thought so, without reproaching our Maker? |
A44673 | Or doth he not observe? |
A44673 | Or if it displease us, that our Relatives are not, by some special dispensation, excepted from the common Law of Mortality? |
A44673 | Or is it a reasonable imagination, that by how much we are more capable of action, we shall be the more useless, and have the less to do? |
A44673 | Or will we adventure to say, not denying his right, he did not use it well in this case? |
A44673 | Shall meer pity towards this World greaten it above the other? |
A44673 | VVhat Law, what Equity? |
A44673 | Was it not absolute, and without limitation? |
A44673 | What a faint, impotent, languishing thing is our Religion, how doth it dwindle into spritless, dead form without it? |
A44673 | What a remarkable, significant, after that, is this? |
A44673 | What are we now to look for upon such a Foundation, so firmly laid, and fully believed? |
A44673 | What can tempt thee to stand out against such Power, and such Grace? |
A44673 | What can that mean but that you are to receive him, and resign your selves? |
A44673 | What can we now be unwilling of, that he would have us be, or do? |
A44673 | What exempt jurisdiction, can we pretend our selves to belong unto? |
A44673 | What is it that we find fault with in the removal of this or that person, that was near, and delightful to us? |
A44673 | What it is about which this claimed Power is to be conversant? |
A44673 | What now can be surer than this? |
A44673 | What pretence can we have not to think others as apt to make the same request for them, and theirs? |
A44673 | What sort of Power it is that this emblematical expression, signifies to belong to him? |
A44673 | What would we wish to Mankind a sinning immortality on this Earth, before which a wise Heathen profest to prefer one Day vertuously spent? |
A44673 | What? |
A44673 | What? |
A44673 | When we find a connection between Death, and Judgment, how will they contrive to dis- joyn them? |
A44673 | Whereas that rational, religious, Soul- composing Thought, shall we receive good things at the hand of God, and not also evil things? |
A44673 | Wherefore( says Holy Job) do the wicked live, become old, yea are mighty in power? |
A44673 | Whose Arithmetick will suffice to tell how many they are? |
A44673 | Why are we allowed a place and a time here? |
A44673 | Why is not this World a flaming Theatre? |
A44673 | Wilt thou accept me for thine, and resign thy self as mine? |
A44673 | Would we not presently be for quelling, and suppressing it,& easily yield to be non- suited, without more ado? |
A44673 | Would we wish there should never be a judgment Day? |
A44673 | Would we wish this World to be the everlasting Stage, of indignities and affronts to him that made it? |
A44673 | and that all the wise& righteous Councels of Heaven should be ranverst& overturned, only to comport with our terrene& sensual inclinations? |
A44673 | and that he should be his, absolutely, and be dispos''d of by him, at his Pleasure? |
A44673 | and when those many were expired, why not for as many more? |
A44673 | as the Mother of a numerous and hopeful Offspring? |
A44673 | by whose Beneficence, under whose Protection, and in whose name they may act so, or so, and by whose Authority? |
A44673 | can any thing now, be more certain than that? |
A44673 | or any Relatives of ours? |
A44673 | or do we not? |
A44673 | or for what? |
A44673 | or that he Dy''d so soon? |
A44673 | or that when all the Creation must be subject to him, wilt except thy self? |
A44673 | or upon what terms? |
A44673 | than why he had? |
A44673 | that God should be a God to him entirely, and without reserve? |
A44673 | that dar''st dispute his Title? |
A44673 | to put it into express words? |
A44673 | unto which, if we appeal, can we suppose it so untrue to its self, as not to assert its own Superiority? |
A44673 | what? |
A44673 | who is more fitly qualifyed to Judge, than he that hath these Keys? |
A44673 | whom all the Power of Heaven and Earth hath no right to touch? |
A44673 | whose Vranography to describe how far that is? |
A44673 | why do we not drive things for them, to an issue? |
A85510 | 10 9. is set down the forme and tenure of the New Covenant? |
A85510 | 2. p. 410. Who is that Them? |
A85510 | 2.? |
A85510 | 35. except ye repent ye shall perish? |
A85510 | 36, 37. saying, What doth hinder me to be baptized? |
A85510 | 6 How in the Petition, Forgive us our debts, we can pray for any thing more then assurance of pardon, when actual pardon is passed long before? |
A85510 | Again, did not Christ lay repentance and faith upon the creature, when he said, repent and believe the Gospel? |
A85510 | Alas, what profit are either of these to his forster father? |
A85510 | Alas, what proportion is there betweene the debt and the acknowledgment? |
A85510 | And Sirs, what shall I do to be saved? |
A85510 | And a little after, How if a man never keep the Condition to which he bound himself in Baptism? |
A85510 | And dare you bid such a one, continuing such, to lay hold on the promise of mercy? |
A85510 | And did Christ or his Apostles( think you) preach any thing contradictory to free grace, or free gift? |
A85510 | And doth not the Law of Fath, the Gospel, require faith on mans part, that Righteousnesse may be imputed? |
A85510 | And here Sir, if I should produce some that doe assert it, should I not very prittely get me the odious name of malicious? |
A85510 | And how sins can be actually pardoned before they be committed, and the guilt removed before it is contracted? |
A85510 | And if this of salvation be as free, wil it not thence follow, that men may be saved in it though they never believe it, or so much as know it? |
A85510 | And if you ask, wherefore? |
A85510 | And in his next Chapter, stating this question, whether good works may be said to be necessary to justification and salvation? |
A85510 | And is it not as proper to them now, as it was then? |
A85510 | And what doth Zanchy, I pray you, here say more, then any of those whom you oppose? |
A85510 | And when passed we from it? |
A85510 | And would you know what this taking of Christ is, which he saith is precedently required? |
A85510 | Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
A85510 | As it is written, How beautiful upon the mountaines are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things? |
A85510 | But if it be by works, it is no more of grace, otherwise works are no more works; where it followes, what then? |
A85510 | But when? |
A85510 | But who( my good friend) shall be judge of this propriety? |
A85510 | But you say, What can be laid upon the creature, that is not a work? |
A85510 | By what Law? |
A85510 | Can any imagine that the meaning of that Query of the Jaylor, Sirs, what shall I do to be saved? |
A85510 | Can they be his people without dutiful subjection and obedience to him? |
A85510 | Dare you say that Christ died for any so absolutely, as that they should be saved whether they did believe or no? |
A85510 | Dare you tell him, That the Gospel belongs unto him even while he is such? |
A85510 | Did you seriously consider what you spake when you said, if but to pay a rose, the tenure is not free? |
A85510 | Do not the promises belong to sinners as sinners? |
A85510 | Do they not speak the same things? |
A85510 | Dost thou renounce the Divel? |
A85510 | Doth he not in both places describe one and the same person, the person that is justified? |
A85510 | Doth he say, If you will be my people? |
A85510 | Doth he speak of the manifesto of Righteousnesse, and not rather of righteousnesse and justification it selfe, the being of it? |
A85510 | Doth he that is to be justified bring any thing? |
A85510 | Doth not God promise to do all? |
A85510 | First,( My good friend) Are intimations of preaching Judaisme, Papisme, and Arminianism no calumnies? |
A85510 | For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoycing? |
A85510 | For your Quaerie, Whether it be conditional or absolute? |
A85510 | How shall they hear without a Preacher? |
A85510 | How the same man may be actually justified and quickned, and yet actually dead in regard of the same sins, at the same time? |
A85510 | I beseech you tell me, doth not the Apostle speak of one and the same Justification in both places? |
A85510 | I conceive it false, He is called so there: For who is the ungodly person spoken of there, but Abraham? |
A85510 | I know there is great difference of judgement at this day, who are to be accounted the faithful Ministers of the Gospel of Christ? |
A85510 | If it be asked concerning a faithful Minister when he dyeth, of what Disease he dyed? |
A85510 | If your meaning( I say) be this, what do you but hold out mercy conditional, even as we do, and to what end have you raised all this dust and stir? |
A85510 | Is faith Christ himselfe? |
A85510 | Is it any gaine or pleasure to him, that thou makest thy waies perfect? |
A85510 | Is it enough, my good friend, to make a thing evil, to say that Papists hold so? |
A85510 | Is it nonsense to say so? |
A85510 | Is it not the will of God to give Christ absolutely,& then salvation for Christs sake to them that do believe in him? |
A85510 | Is not my Word like to a fire, saith the Lord, and like a hammer that beateth the rock in pieces? |
A85510 | It followes, He gave some Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Evangelists, and some Pastors and Teachers: and for what end? |
A85510 | May not this ill issue of your Doctrine lye heavy on your spirits? |
A85510 | May not( my dear brother) the like use be made of your present Doctrine? |
A85510 | May they not say, Seeing no conditions are required, nothing on our part is to be done, I may live as I list, for I can not break the Covenant? |
A85510 | May we not say in this case that we have benefit? |
A85510 | Moreover, is there not as great a care to be had of Antinomians and Libertines, with whom our English Church begins to be pestred? |
A85510 | Now I pray, what doe they understand by that efficiency, but a meritorious efficiency? |
A85510 | Now do not the Apostles averre as much when they answer this quaerie, what shall I do to be saved? |
A85510 | Now if both these were true, would they be of moment to make you dissent from your godly brethren? |
A85510 | Now this also failes: for, can a man be profitable to God, as a wise man is profitable to himselfe? |
A85510 | Now what gave he? |
A85510 | Or whether we may have a right to, and interest in, or actual enjoyment of these benefits without faith, or before faith? |
A85510 | Shall I say here, That there is no reason why one gift should be more absolute then another? |
A85510 | Shall the young man say, it is not free? |
A85510 | Shall this person say, he was not freely forgiven, because it was on this condition, his acknowledgment? |
A85510 | Shall this person say, the gift was not free because upon this condition? |
A85510 | Sir, Whether nonsense or no, what is it you say to the places cited? |
A85510 | Sir, what you me an by that expression, Doth not God promise to do all? |
A85510 | So likewise, Where is boasting then? |
A85510 | The Quaerie then will be, Whether this Righteousnesse of Christ be imputed to the sinner before he doth believe, or not till he believeth? |
A85510 | The third excepted, which of these positions is maintained by any of those our Divines that hold conditions to be in the new Covenant? |
A85510 | Thus Zanchy, and what have you gained by him in this particular, or your opposites lost? |
A85510 | Thus far Olevian in that place: and who is there Sir, of these whom you oppose, that doth not say the same with him? |
A85510 | To which you rejoyne, I demand, Whether that Promise be absolute or conditional? |
A85510 | To which you reply by Interrogation: Is there any condition on mans part intimated here? |
A85510 | Was it for this, my good friend, that you took the paynes to write so much out of the Doctor? |
A85510 | We answer your Demand, Is there any condition on mans part? |
A85510 | What can be said more expresly then this? |
A85510 | What is the Law of Faith? |
A85510 | What is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord? |
A85510 | What profit is it to the Sunne, that wee receive its light into our houses? |
A85510 | When was it so accounted? |
A85510 | Why did you cite Aestius and Lessius, both Papists, among the Champions of your opinion? |
A85510 | Without distinction they are all branded as Tythe- Mongers, Time servers, Antichristian, Self- seekers, and what not? |
A85510 | Yea, is it not( think you) already made by divers? |
A85510 | You add therefore farther; Did Adams doing merit life? |
A85510 | and how shall they preach except they be sent? |
A85510 | and most called away from the practice of Religion, to that needlesse disquisition of a curious speculation? |
A85510 | because it is upon condition, he leaves his fathers cottage for it, he goes to school for it& c? |
A85510 | must it needs be wholly cast away? |
A85510 | of works? |
A85510 | or to the spring, that we drinke of its water? |
A85510 | or what else did the Apostle preach but the Gospel? |
A85510 | or who is there of those against whom you alledge him, that doth not assert the very same? |
A85510 | or, what other then that can be ascribed unto works? |
A85510 | others thereby amazed, not knowing whom to follow? |
A85510 | should be no more then this, What shall I do to be certified and assured of my Salvation? |
A85510 | the grand benefit of Regeneration by him, before we have right to him? |
A85510 | why else is it called a Law? |
A66346 | 38. to Souls and Bodies; in whom is this so exemplified as in the signally useful? |
A66346 | Am I seriously concerned to see so many Sinners posting to Hell? |
A66346 | Am I very solicitous for the Churches wellfare and the Nations happiness, so as to set my self to redress Evil and help the Good of each in my place? |
A66346 | And can you own it without Blushings, and renting your very Hearts? |
A66346 | And do dry Eyes, or a Face lifted up, agree hereto? |
A66346 | And how generally is his Death lamented? |
A66346 | And over- against your Names thus written, This Magistrate was no terror to Evil doers, no praise to such as did well? |
A66346 | And this to the extent of my Power? |
A66346 | And what Idiot could have made a weaker Choice, or taken a more foolish Course than you have done? |
A66346 | Another time his joy was so great, that in an extasie he cried out, I can not contain it, what manner of Love is this to a poor Worm? |
A66346 | Are my Talents less accountable for, than they were, or have I now more reason to think that my Abilities were not given for Publick use? |
A66346 | Are not you more left to your selves in Duties and Temptations too? |
A66346 | Are you an ill Magistrate, why should any others be better? |
A66346 | Are you an unfaithful Minister, why should any others be more faithful? |
A66346 | Are you careless of the common Liberties of your Country or City, why should any other, in your station, be more concerned? |
A66346 | Are you indifferent about the Truth, Interest, and Gospel of Christ, why should any other in your circumstances more expose themselves? |
A66346 | Are you strait- handed to the Poor, wherefore should others of your Estate be more liberal? |
A66346 | But is this Excuse true? |
A66346 | But, can there be the like for an unuseful Person? |
A66346 | Can I think Christ a worse Master than before; or Heaven less worthy of my pains? |
A66346 | Can a feble Mind, or unfortified Heart, persist in great Endeavours, and in the face of such Dufficulties steadily pursue his glorious End? |
A66346 | Can he doubt the Truth of his several Graces? |
A66346 | Can the Tempter still delude you to think, that you will have a pardon of your Unusefulness by such a Faith as doth not make you resolve to be Useful? |
A66346 | Can you that never attempted, or soon fainted in serving God in your Generation, hope to reap as they who fainted not in well- doing? |
A66346 | Can you, and not be humble, become all things to all Men, that you may win some, and be a Servant to all that you may gain the more? |
A66346 | Consider your unusefulness, and see, is that a performance of this Engagement, or consistent with it? |
A66346 | Dare I commend the unprofitable part of Mankind that I am thus about to justify; or condemn the eminently useful, whom now I seem resolved to censure? |
A66346 | Did I begin to be Useful as soon as I was capable, and do I continue so to this time, or was I not far in years before I began? |
A66346 | Did his many Labours abate their substance and tendency to common Good? |
A66346 | Did not he create all things for himself? |
A66346 | Did not you expect your Parents Care, the Magistrates Defence, your Ministers Labours, your Neighbours Favour and Help? |
A66346 | Do others less need my help, or have I the leave of God to be remisser? |
A66346 | Do you expect the same returns of Prayer, or use you to meet with them as formerly? |
A66346 | Do you rejoyce in, and bless God for those who are useful, without envying the most eminent? |
A66346 | Do you take all due pains, and use all good thrift that you may have somewhat to enable you to be profitable? |
A66346 | Do you think God will be mocked, or that you can impose on him? |
A66346 | Doth he afford you that communion with himself, and tokens of his favour, in which you were accustomed to relish the highest delight? |
A66346 | Doth it become Men to be under the Conduct of such base Guides? |
A66346 | Doth it not accuse you? |
A66346 | Doth my Heart bleed at the miserable condition of the poor and distressed? |
A66346 | Hath not he emptied your Mercies, embittered your Comforts, filled your Souls with Terrors, and encountred you with a frowning Countenance? |
A66346 | Hath not he let Satan loose upon you or yours? |
A66346 | Hath publick Service for God been your business in any measure? |
A66346 | Hath the good that I have done in the World, been in proportion to my utmost Ability? |
A66346 | Have I done good to as many persons as I had a Call to, and opportunity for? |
A66346 | Have I done more already than Christ deserves at my hands, who died for me? |
A66346 | Have not you already met with some remembrances, that God dislikes your selfish Ways and narrow Spirits? |
A66346 | Have not you less of God in every Ordinance, and less success in your Performances? |
A66346 | Have not your Graces abated in their Strength and Exercise? |
A66346 | Have not your Ways been in all this unequal? |
A66346 | Have you avoided being hurtful to others, tho''you could not profit them? |
A66346 | Have you earnestly prayed for the Church of God, and the good of the Miserable World, bewailing the sorrows of the first, and the misery of the last? |
A66346 | Have you no such secret misgivings as these? |
A66346 | Have you not less Supports when Afflictions befal you? |
A66346 | Have you not less composure, and fixedness of Heart, when dangers threaten you? |
A66346 | Have you that free access into his presence as sometimes you found? |
A66346 | His Care and Toil extended to every Place where he might be profitable: Of whom in an equal station can it be so truly said? |
A66346 | How many whom he contributed to the Education of are useful Ministers? |
A66346 | How needful is Wisdom to discern which is our present Duty, and what the greatest Good, when several appear in competition? |
A66346 | How oft and long did they pray for his Life, as a publick Blessing? |
A66346 | How unthankful are we to the giver of all our Gifts? |
A66346 | How would you be dealt by, if you were in the case of the Poor or Distressed, and they in yours? |
A66346 | If you think it is not your Duty, what sence can you put upon so many plain Scriptures that command it? |
A66346 | In Ministerial Labours he was abundant; where was a more constant Preacher? |
A66346 | In how many Places doth Religion flourish by his means? |
A66346 | In such a Man many Graces and Virtues are associated, nay which can be wanting, yea or weak in the Constitution of this Person? |
A66346 | Is it not in well- doing that I grow weary? |
A66346 | Is it so? |
A66346 | Is not this horrid Ingratitude to our Blessed Lord? |
A66346 | Is this to be so? |
A66346 | Is this to imitate or obey Christ whom you own for your Lord, and whose Livery you have put on? |
A66346 | Judge the Spirit by the use others make of the same Abilities, how useless, how hurtful? |
A66346 | Let me ask you, Have you really pitied the Distressed whom you could not relieve? |
A66346 | Let us be ashamed, and duly humbled, for our unusefulness in our Generation Who of us falls not under the charge of this fault? |
A66346 | May it not well fill you with confusion? |
A66346 | Must it not present to you a sad account of great Omissions and many Neglects? |
A66346 | Must not I shortly on a Death- bed reflect on what a barren life I am going to live, and the blessed Courses I put a stop too? |
A66346 | Notions he took up for Truths, without search or other enquiry, then, is this the Opinion of a Man eminent with the Party I hope to live by? |
A66346 | Now do not you think Christ is worth the faithfullest Service which ends in this manner? |
A66346 | Now how comfortable will Death be to a Man thus well assured of eternal Happiness, and prepared for that wherein it will consist? |
A66346 | Or hath it been very little, and inconsiderable, compared with what I could have done? |
A66346 | Or have I not deserted it, after I made some hopeful beginnings? |
A66346 | Or have not I utterly disregarded it? |
A66346 | Or have not I wilfully exempted very many, to whom I stood obliged? |
A66346 | Or, am not I one that slight the wickedness the World lies in, want Bowels to the distressed? |
A66346 | Or, have you made the very Worship of God and your most seeming Obedience to subserve Carnal Ends? |
A66346 | Or, were they the perishing Affairs of Life? |
A66346 | Or, why should not I be as publick Spirited as they, if it be praise- worthy and useful in them? |
A66346 | Ought not you to tremble at this prospect of Eternal Misery? |
A66346 | Pray earnestly for exciting Grace, and be much in such Soliloquies as these, Am not I a Redeemed Sinner? |
A66346 | Shall I disregard the end of my Being, break my Vows, be false to my trust? |
A66346 | Shall I represent this as a Warning, or as an Encouragement to Service? |
A66346 | Shall you who laid up nothing in store, no Treasure in Heaven, expect to be Rich there as they who did? |
A66346 | That promise such Rewards to, and Assistances in it? |
A66346 | That so approve of, and praise the Practice and Practisers of it, and brand the Name of such as Accursed who refused to do so? |
A66346 | That threaten such sore Miseries to the Neglecters of it? |
A66346 | Therefore may not I with reason ask you? |
A66346 | They are to propagate the Interests of our blessed Redeemer,& c. But which of these can we subserve, if Self be not denied? |
A66346 | Tho''I must agree that it''s folly to become liable to these Mischiefs, yet are all who are unuseful subject to endure them? |
A66346 | To be a publick Plague, is a great reproach; what can be said worse of a Man when dead? |
A66346 | To thy Children, Servants,& c. and how Eminent they may prove? |
A66346 | To you of this Congregation,( for whose Salvation he was so concerned) shall I say, bewail the loss of him, when you are so sensible? |
A66346 | Was not this that he might rule all, dispose of all, and be served by all? |
A66346 | We thank thee, and bless thy glorious Name: But who am I, and what is my People, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? |
A66346 | Were they serving your Generation, and saving your own Soul? |
A66346 | What Answer doth an awakened Conscience give to these Questions? |
A66346 | What Ingratitude is it to live to your selves, and not to him who paid so dear for your Ransom? |
A66346 | What Matters have sate closest to your Hearts? |
A66346 | What Projects have had the chief Room in your Heads? |
A66346 | What avail all Arguments, if they incline not our backward Hearts to Usefulness? |
A66346 | What is it to such Bigots, if true Christianity prevail with Men, or Converts be multiplied, unless they become their Proselites? |
A66346 | What may I meet with to awaken me out of this slothful Sleep? |
A66346 | What mind can conceive the misery included in a condition made up of all the Woes these several expressions import? |
A66346 | What place for Envy, when I see my self and others better served by every thing wherein another is advanced above me? |
A66346 | What shall I be doing the residue of my time, if I cease to be useful? |
A66346 | What work for Shame, and Sorrow, ay, and Fears too, will this make, compared with a vigorously useful Life? |
A66346 | What''s more desirable than to Vseful in making others so? |
A66346 | What''s the Language of your refusing to serve your Generation hitherto? |
A66346 | When you desire an Estate or Gift, and bewail the want of them, is the later mostly because you can not be useful, and the former that you may be so? |
A66346 | Where shall I begin, when so many Things present themselves? |
A66346 | Where shall I stop if I recover not? |
A66346 | Who ever knew him, from his very Youth, refuse to preach in any Place when asked? |
A66346 | Who is sufficient for these things? |
A66346 | Who would be Servants, private Soldiers, Seamen, Handicrafts- men,& c. if none were poor? |
A66346 | Whose are all your Gifts and Estates which you have thus grudged? |
A66346 | Whose are you your selves? |
A66346 | Will the Powers or Riches he had on Earth guard him against the sorest Vengeance for the hurt he did? |
A66346 | Yea, or doth not effectually produce this Usefulness as you are called thereto? |
A66346 | You, his Children, live your Fathers Advice and Example, or what a Witness will he be against you? |
A66346 | and shall I neglect the interests of my Redeemer? |
A66346 | and will it suit with the Fancies of these Men? |
A66346 | can you be unaffected when you receive this Answer? |
A66346 | can your Consciences, as drowsie as they are, offer this Plea, and abide by it? |
A66346 | for if so, who shall escape? |
A66346 | how unprovided and ill prepared? |
A66346 | it will be in vain to deny or diminish your Trust, and what Answer can you find that can satisfie him, or please your selves? |
A66346 | or would I be content he should now more remissly intercede in my behalf? |
A66346 | where will these declensions stop, if you allow them? |
A42350 | A wavering weak Faith, to a sure Word? |
A42350 | Again, Do you not cross the experiences of all the Saints, do they not they all give God and his service a good word? |
A42350 | Alas, what is our always in abounding here; to the always of his rewarding hereafter? |
A42350 | And have we any reason to think, that the same prejudice against Religion, continues not amongst many ungodly ones, in these last times? |
A42350 | And if thou wilt do it, when mean''st thou to set about it, if not now? |
A42350 | And is it not more desireable to be without these, than to need them and have them? |
A42350 | And must not that Piece be admirably well drawn, which is most commended by those( if able to judge) that stand nearest, and look longest on it? |
A42350 | And what proportion between a poor nothing Creature, and his nothing Service, to the having this infinitely Glorious God his portion? |
A42350 | And, oh, how intent was she in Preparation for it? |
A42350 | Are here all thy Children? |
A42350 | Art thou to pray his Spirit will lift with thee, for so that 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, signifies, art thou tempted? |
A42350 | But why hath God charged his peoples work with so much labour, travel, and trouble? |
A42350 | But why, quoth Cyneas, may we not do that already without all this trouble? |
A42350 | But will ye believe what a man saith, when his head is hot and light in the fit of a Fever, rather than when he is in his true and right temper? |
A42350 | Can he, that rewards even the wicked for any work, in which he useth them, let his own faithful servants lose their pains? |
A42350 | Cur ea quae ad usum diuturna esse non possunt, ad supplicium diuturna deposces? |
A42350 | Did ever any man arrive at London by going from it? |
A42350 | Do not these think it very easie to be Christians? |
A42350 | Doth it not behove thee to make sure of an house above to receive thee, when thou art turned out of thy Earthly Tabernacle here? |
A42350 | For this Captain non amat gementem Militem? |
A42350 | Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? |
A42350 | Heaven wider than it is: But where, may some say, dwell these Men I am now directing my speech unto? |
A42350 | Her awful fear of God, the little reverence we have of the Divine Majesty? |
A42350 | Her charitable Spirit, and large Heart, whereby she concerned her self in the wants and miseries of others, the narrow and selfish Spirits of many? |
A42350 | Her reverence in the Worship of God, the rudeness of many, who behave themselves therein, as if God Almighty, and they were fellows? |
A42350 | Her zeal for God, our coldness? |
A42350 | How can it but make them admire, to see so infinite a Glory the reward of so poor a labour? |
A42350 | How doth this Blessed Soul now Carol forth the Praises of God in Heaven? |
A42350 | How easie of access, for the meanest to come into her presence? |
A42350 | How may her knowledge in the Scriptures, shame the ignorance of many of us? |
A42350 | How then say you, that we labour upon such uncertainties? |
A42350 | How unbecoming, to think any measure enough in thy duty, when the reward promised, is without all measure? |
A42350 | How unsutable is it to pinch God in thy service, who is so magnificent in his reward? |
A42350 | How unsutable to a Faithful Word, is a Faithless Heart? |
A42350 | How will it ravish the Saints Heart, to receive so great a reward, at the end of so short a labour? |
A42350 | I would ask such, how they know the Sun to be, when they see it shine? |
A42350 | If any should ask, how do they know so assuredly there is this reward? |
A42350 | If thou hast Food and Rayment here, and Heaven at the end, doth not God deal well with thee? |
A42350 | In a word, How may her Patience, under great Afflictions, reproach the murmurings of many, when they feel but a little smart from a gentle Correction? |
A42350 | Is it an easie thing to hate every false way? |
A42350 | Is it easie to recover the strength of his resolutions, which his sins must needs have much loosned and weakned? |
A42350 | Is it easie to repent, and bring forth the meet fruits of it, good works, and not to make them the Idol of our trust? |
A42350 | Is it not a blessed thing to behold God face to face? |
A42350 | Is not Heaven called a reward? |
A42350 | Is the Husbandmans work laborious to plow up his stiff ground, and with many a weary step to go sowing his heavy land, especially in a wet season? |
A42350 | Is the betrothed Spouse afraid of her Marriage day? |
A42350 | Is there no way to have our Friends, unless we have them in our sight? |
A42350 | Minimè quidem Deus est acceptor personarum: Nescio tamenquo pacto, virtus in Nobili plus placet; An fortè quia plus claret? |
A42350 | Now is there any room left in this case for deliberation, when de vitâ aut morte aeternâ agitur? |
A42350 | Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name; but who am I? |
A42350 | Now these deficiencies and obliquities call for repentance, and is it easie for him to comply with this duty? |
A42350 | O Death where is thy sting? |
A42350 | O Grave, where is thy victory? |
A42350 | O how great things hath God laid up for them that fear him? |
A42350 | O how hard is it to kindle, or kindled, to keep this heavenly fire alive, on a hearth so damp and cold as our heart is? |
A42350 | O how hard is this, where there is so much of the slave, even in those that are children? |
A42350 | Oh how afraid to look into another world, or to think of going hence as they are? |
A42350 | Oh how brave should he be, when his new Cloaths were on his back? |
A42350 | Oh how meanly did she think of her self? |
A42350 | Oh what Sots doth sin make men? |
A42350 | Oh what then wilt thou say of thy past life, which is so thin sown with Holy Actions? |
A42350 | Oh what''s the loss of such a treasure? |
A42350 | The Ship, which when lying on ground, all the Teams in the Country could not draw off; how easily is it set a float when the Tide comes in? |
A42350 | Their reward is an everlasting life; but their work and labour for the Lord, how short? |
A42350 | Thirdly, Formalists and slothful Christians; and how many are these? |
A42350 | This is such an infatuation, as the world can not shew the like; but who so blind as he, whose eyes are put out with Gospel- light? |
A42350 | Thus the Heart which the Christian, by no pains and industry of his own, can raise out of its dullness and indisposition to Duty? |
A42350 | To a sensual heart, what more unpleasing then Heavenly Meditations? |
A42350 | Was Shimei unwise, who by going out of his Precincts to recover his run- away Servants, lost his own life? |
A42350 | Was not this one that meant to go to Heaven in good earnest? |
A42350 | We see even our Children, do love and obey us their Parents, though some of us have no Portion or Inheritance to leave them? |
A42350 | What else( Christian) is death to thee, but what Jordan was to the Israelites? |
A42350 | What joy remains to him that is in misery, to remember the years of pleasure he hath had? |
A42350 | What pity is it a Scarlet Cloak should be sopt in a swill tub? |
A42350 | What then is the Christians labour, which exerts the zeal and heat of his spirit? |
A42350 | What, they leave the Fatness and Sweetness they are satiated with, for any thing that is to be got by a base sinner? |
A42350 | What, they sin? |
A42350 | When the poor Christian hath done his utmost to keep the Law, how far short doth he fall of that exact Rule? |
A42350 | Which said unto God, depart from us, and what can the Almighty do for them? |
A42350 | Who but the Devil himself, would present him, and his holy ways, in such black lines and lineaments to their thoughts? |
A42350 | Who knocks more boldly at Heaven Gate to be let in, than they whom Christ will reject as workers of iniquity? |
A42350 | Who, indeed, can exercise reason against God? |
A42350 | Whose Death''s a publick loss? |
A42350 | Why wilt thou, oh man, make that which is but temporary in the use, eternal is thy punishment? |
A42350 | Wilt thou lose it, as Lysimachus did his worldly Kingdom, by staying to drink a draught of puddle water? |
A42350 | Would Elkanah be thought better to his barren Wife, than ten Sons? |
A42350 | and if it doth, must thou not become his Servant, do his work, or never look for his reward? |
A42350 | and of their tears, that they could serve him no better, if they might have gone to Heaven, as these men hope to do? |
A42350 | and what can discover Patience, but labour and trouble? |
A42350 | and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? |
A42350 | and what reward can be expected where no work is done? |
A42350 | and where is any one( who hath not first been convinced from some work of the Spirit) so bad, that is not yet thus kind to himself? |
A42350 | and wilt thou devour that, which thou must be digesting in Hell with Torments, as endless as easless? |
A42350 | as if they would turn again upon God, and snatch the Rod out of his hand? |
A42350 | how affable, courteous, and lowly to the poorest? |
A42350 | how shall I do to praise my God? |
A42350 | how soon is it dispatched? |
A42350 | is it now time to say, shall I labour to be saved, or shall I not? |
A42350 | is not here enough to fill the Christians head with care, and his heart continually with an holy fear and trembling? |
A42350 | is not yonder brave City worth Fighting for? |
A42350 | not recovered from a Sickness, which is but an adjournment to death; but to have shot deaths gulf, and to be set everlastingly above it? |
A42350 | now is it an easie work, for the Christian to keep his heart in a sincere compliance with, and respect to, this Law in his daily walking? |
A42350 | or a Prince loth to cross a narrow Sea, to take possession of a wide Kingdom, and a rich Crown, that wait only for his coming? |
A42350 | that could keep her Heart in tune for this high note, in her greatest bodily pains and dolours? |
A42350 | the muddy pleasures of Sin for a season? |
A42350 | their Plea had been more plausible, if they had said, what can the Unmighty do for them? |
A42350 | this deserves that, why not that this? |
A42350 | to bathe thy self in those Pleasures that are at his right hand? |
A42350 | to be ever with the Lord? |
A42350 | to be ready to every good work? |
A42350 | to drink the wine of the Kingdom, in the Kingdom of Heaven it self? |
A42350 | to have sound legs, then to be lame, and have crutches? |
A42350 | what, or whom need he fear, that hath God for his Protector? |
A42350 | who could sing them so sweetly, while these sharp Thorns were at her Breast? |
A42350 | work, and never receive their reward? |
A42350 | would he bear witness to the Name and Gospel of Christ, then pity thy self is its counsel? |
A42350 | would he reprove a sinning Brother, then why will he be a busie body in other mens matters, and lose a Friend in doing a thankless office? |
A42350 | wouldst thou have them labour, and never rest? |
A42350 | yea, have they not commonly the strongest Faith, who have the weakest Grounds for it? |
A42350 | yet what more delighted David? |
A42831 | And do we act courageously for petty purchases; and faint and despond when we are to strive for Crowns and eternal Glories? |
A42831 | And if all this be short, what will be available? |
A42831 | And if his life be in trouble and discomfort; how terrible is it to reflect, that he must go from being miserable to be nothing? |
A42831 | And if neither reason, nor so much as our senses, may be believ''d, what assurance can we have of any thing? |
A42831 | And if the Master had such usage, what were the servants to expect? |
A42831 | And is it not a glorious Excellency, that makes Men like the fountain of all perfection? |
A42831 | And now did those poor Heathens hear the voice of a little Brook, and shall not we the noise of many Waters? |

A42831 | And when they come to such Sacred places as this, with what rude boldness do they enter Gods house? |
A42831 | And why may not the Spirit of God, working by an active Faith and Endeavour, fix Habits and Inclinations on the Soul, as prevalent as those? |

A42831 | FOr the First, Who are the scoffers meant? |
A42831 | For can the regenerate be full of all manner of concupiscence, and at the same time be crucified to the Flesh, and its affections and lusts? |
A42831 | For what are all the pleasures and contentments of the World, but as so many rays of that Sun and emanations of that fountain? |
A42831 | For what is it to be happy but to be united to God? |
A42831 | For who can bear that dazzling Glory? |
A42831 | For who is rewarded for actions that are prefectly anothers, or who is punish''d for what he could not help? |

A42831 | Is it not fit that the Gospel should at length appear to have been the power of God, and no creature of melancholy or design? |
A42831 | Is our Maker pleas''d with our sighs; or is there any Musick or sweetness to Him in our groans and tears? |
A42831 | Is this He whom the flesh and world tempted me so often to deny; and whose interest could do so little with me? |
A42831 | Is this the Saviour I loved so little? |
A42831 | It is no Question, I hope, whether God, or the Creature is to be first chosen; whether Heaven or Hell be better? |
A42831 | LOVE is the bond and tye of Christian Communion; How can two walk together except they are agreed? |
A42831 | Let him that is without Errour, throw the first Stone at the Erroneous; but if he begins, that is obnoxious himself, what favour can he expect? |
A42831 | May it not shame us, that we need Instruction from the Creatures that have no understanding? |
A42831 | No dream of imagination, or interest of any lust; but as simple as Innocence, and as clear as the virgin light? |

A42831 | Was it such comfort that our Lord promised to those that mourn? |

A42831 | With what sad pangs of sorrow should we lay our Friends into the Grave; if we had cause to be assured that they were lost eternally? |
A42831 | Yea, why didst thou determine on the unreasonable side? |
A42831 | and how could we reflect upon our own mortality, if we were to look for no farther Being? |
A42831 | and how injurious were thy complaints to so glorious an expectation? |
A42831 | and how more unworthy of the favour of this glorious and triumphant Jesus? |
A42831 | and how much carelesness and irreverence do they express in their very looks and garb? |
A42831 | and how much slightness and playsomness in speaking of serving God, being devout, saying prayers, and such like serious things after it? |

A42831 | disregard his promises, and slight his threatnings? |
A42831 | do we as much as impose any penance upon our external persons? |

A42831 | or the world an enjoyment like those rewards he will now dispense? |
A42831 | or thy little policies of equal moment with the affairs of this day? |
A42831 | or whether all things are not still, as they were from the beginning, in all their kinds, and in all the degrees of their vigour, and perfection? |
A42831 | or will he applaud himself in having made Hell his sport, when he feels it? |
A42831 | or will his Wit recreate and support him when he shall be call''d to the Bar? |
A42831 | or, how can they bear up under the burdens and vexations of this state, that can not relieve themselves by the hopes of a better? |
A42831 | saith the transported admirer, How reasonable was thy Faith; and how unjust were thy Fears? |
A42831 | sold under sin, and yet free from sin? |
A42831 | throw off his easie yoke, as an intolerable burthen, and choose darkness, death and misery before light, and life, and glory? |
A42831 | was it cold, indifferent, unconcerned assent only? |
A42831 | was the sordid flesh a better friend than that triumphant Jesus? |
A42831 | was this the time I did so coldly expect, and so indifferently regard? |
A42831 | were thy pleasures comparable to the joyes of the happy expectants of this Time? |
A42831 | wert thou diverted by greater matters? |
A42831 | what can I say to my Judge? |
A42831 | what can the fondling flesh, and eht world do for thee? |
A42831 | what peace or temper among such principles? |

A42831 | what to my self? |
A42831 | what will become of an almighty and omniscient Justice if sinners are never call''d to an accompt? |
A42831 | what, that can justifie a Division? |
A42831 | when our Armed Masters murdered men in the Streets, and threatned the ancient Metropolis of the Nation, with Gunpowder and Granadoes? |
A42831 | where are his Credentials from Heaven to justifie our Belief of him? |
A42831 | where was thy Providence? |
A42831 | where was thy Self- love? |
A42831 | where were thy reflections? |
A42831 | who can stand before a Throne surrounded with incomprehensible Light and Flame? |
A42831 | who then shall be saved? |
A42831 | why did I abuse his love, and reject his addresses? |
A42831 | why did we not go from the darkness of the Womb to that of the Grave; and cease to be, assoon as we had a Being? |
A42831 | why was the Sun suffer''d to see a thing so miserable? |
A42831 | will he have any heart to droll when the Sentence is past? |
A42831 | will he shew himself good company among the Devils and his Angels; or make pastime of Heaven and Religion, amid the flames of Brimstone? |
A42831 | will his mirth hold when the Judge shall appear? |
A42831 | yea what will it be at that day? |
A42831 | — Lord, are there Few that be saved? |
A27048 | 8.35, 36. to the end[ Who shall separate us from the love of God? |
A27048 | A ● as, what should a faithfull Minister do, for the saving of your souls? |
A27048 | Am I beset with sin, and compassed with infirmities, and racked by my own distempered passion? |
A27048 | Am I maliced by dissenting adversaries? |
A27048 | And alas, how quickly are they gone, when once God sees them ripe for heaven? |
A27048 | And can there be any thing in the will of God, that his servants should inordinately fear? |
A27048 | And can we live in daily pain and weariness, and not be willing of release? |
A27048 | And doth not thy heart desire this? |
A27048 | And first, you may hence be easily resolved, Whether Death be truly penal to the godly? |
A27048 | And hast thou not far better and more in heaven? |
A27048 | And if so, why then shouldst thou not be more willing to die, and be with Christ and all his holy ones, that are so much more excellent then we? |
A27048 | And if thou be not willing, what makes thee wish, and groan, and pray, and labour in the use of means? |
A27048 | And is it not haynous then to deny him with the heart and life; and to deny him the love and obedience that is properly due to God? |
A27048 | And is not this enough for us to know? |
A27048 | And is not this the case of all those millions, whose souls now see face of Christ? |
A27048 | And is there any thing in this that thy soul is against, and which thou dost not value above this wor ● d? |
A27048 | And may we not bear a while the sorrows that shall have so good an end? |
A27048 | And shall death seem intolerable to us, that letteth in our souls to Christ? |
A27048 | And shall we grieve that they are not here, when to be here, would be their grief? |
A27048 | And shall we not more boldly trust the will of God then of our dearest friend? |
A27048 | And shall we stick at the uncloathing of our souls, in order to their everlasting Rest? |
A27048 | And shall we think much to die for such a gain? |
A27048 | And was Heaven the spring and motive of thy obedience, and the comfort of thy life? |
A27048 | And will not he perfect the conquest which he hath begun? |
A27048 | And would we be thus still? |
A27048 | And yet he doth not therefore disown them, and turn them out of his family; but is tender of them in their froward weakness, because they are his own? |
A27048 | And yet we say, we believe, and hope, and labour, and wait for the same felicity ● Shall the happiness of our friends be our sorrow and lamentation? |
A27048 | Are thy friends lamenting thee, and grieved to see the signs of thy approaching death? |
A27048 | Are we not hasting after them at the heels, and do we not hope to live with them for ever? |
A27048 | Art thou better then Noah, and Abraham, and David? |
A27048 | Art thou loath to leave thy friends on earth? |
A27048 | Art thou not delivered from the reign and tyranny of it, which thou wast once under? |
A27048 | Art thou under pains, and consuming sicknesses? |
A27048 | But if we might pass from earth to heaven, as from one room to another, what haste should we make in our desires? |
A27048 | But now what a pillar is here for faith? |
A27048 | But to our selves, that are brought out of Aegypt into the Wilderness, how desirable is the promised Land? |
A27048 | But what comfort is all this to me that know not whether I have part in Christ or no? |
A27048 | But what is it that an hypocrite will not do to escape Death? |
A27048 | But when the glorious King of peace hath put all his enemies under his feet, what then is left to make disturbance? |
A27048 | But when we stand over the grave, and see our friends laid in the dust, how mortified do we seem? |
A27048 | Can we have grace and not be weary of these corruptions? |
A27048 | Can we have life, and not be pained with these diseases? |
A27048 | Canst thou think that Christ hath purchased, and offered, and promised that which he will not give? |
A27048 | Could we but come to Heaven as easily as innocent Adam might have done if he had conquered, what wings would it add to our desires? |
A27048 | Couldst thou not joyfully see the coming of Christ, if it were this day( if thou have done thy work, and art assured of his love?) |
A27048 | Did Christ ever shew himself unkind to thee? |
A27048 | Did he ever give thee cause to think so poorly of his Love and grace, as thy doubts do intimate thou dost? |
A27048 | Did he take flesh purpose ● y that he might die and rise, and shew us how he will raise his members? |
A27048 | Did men but know the difference between the death of the holy and the unholy, which doth not appear to fleshly eyes, how speedily would they turn? |
A27048 | Did they not lie as thou dost, and die as thou must, and pass by death to the life which they have now attained? |
A27048 | Didst thou pray for that which thou wouldst not have? |
A27048 | Do they privily lay snares for me, and watch my halting, and seek advantage against my name, and liberty and life? |
A27048 | Do they seem so hard and grievous to thee, that thou wilt venture thy soul in thy state of sin, rather then accept of them? |
A27048 | Do you dislike the sins of the Professors af Godliness? |
A27048 | Do you know how near you are to judgement, and will you fearlesly thus heap up wrath, and lay in fewell for the everlasting flames? |
A27048 | Do you love l ● fe, or do you not? |
A27048 | Do you think they would wish themselves again on earth? |
A27048 | Dost thou fear the dreadfull: face of death? |
A27048 | Dost thou know what thy Brethren are now enjoying,& what the Heavenly Host are doing? |
A27048 | Dost thou not hate it, and set thy self against it as thy enemy? |
A27048 | Dost thou not know that all his children have their frowardness, and are guilty of their unkindnesses to him? |
A27048 | Had you not far rather be thus changed then abide on earth? |
A27048 | Hadst thou rather have liberty to commit it, or be delivered from it? |
A27048 | Hadst thou rather travail with us, then dwell with us? |
A27048 | Hast thou laboured for it, and denyed thy self the pleasures of the world for it? |
A27048 | Hast thou not found him kind when thou wast unkind, and that he thought on thee when thou didst not think on him? |
A27048 | Hath he conquered death for himself alone, and not for us? |
A27048 | Hath he not broken the heart of thy pride and worldliness, and sensuality and made thee a new creature? |
A27048 | Hath he taken our Nature into Heaven, to be there alone and will he not have all his members with him? |
A27048 | He was found of thee,( or rather found thee) when thou soughtest not after him: and can be reject thee now thou criest and callest for his grace? |
A27048 | How carefull are we to keep in these lamps, and to maintain the oyl? |
A27048 | How dealt he with the Disciples, that fell asleep, when they should have watcht with Christ in the night of his great agony? |
A27048 | How earnestly should we pray? |
A27048 | How grievous is it to us that we can love him no more, nor be more assured of his love to us? |
A27048 | How joyfully should we think and speak of Heaven? |
A27048 | How joyfully will the soul& body meet, that were separated so long? |
A27048 | How much the imitation of such examples would conduce to the sanctifying of families, is easie to be apprehended? |
A27048 | How noble a creature doth it destroy? |
A27048 | How readily would our Thoughts run out to Christ? |
A27048 | How seriously should we meditate and conser of Heaven? |
A27048 | How terrible is death to an earthly- minded man that had neglected his soul for a treasure here, which must then be dissipated in a moment? |
A27048 | If it be a sin to crack our faith by some particular error, what is it to dash it all to pieces? |
A27048 | If it be odious in your eyes, to deny some particular Ordinance of God, what is it to neglect or prophane them all? |
A27048 | If not, why are you afraid of death? |
A27048 | If so, I would know of thee, whether this be not from the spirit of Christ within thee? |
A27048 | If so, be assured that it is not without Holiness, that thou choosest and preferrest Holiness? |
A27048 | If thou hadst no sin, what use hadst thou of a Saviour? |
A27048 | If thou say that it is not his unkindness, but thy own that feeds thy doubts; I further ask thee, Is he not kind to the unkind? |
A27048 | If you ask, How is all this to be ascribed to Christ? |
A27048 | If you do, why then are you loth to pass into everlasting life? |
A27048 | Indeed we may say, O Death, where is thy sting? |
A27048 | Is it Christ that your heart is thus averse to, or is it only Death that standeth in the way? |
A27048 | Is it God and heaven, or is it Death? |
A27048 | Is it not for Christ and his benefits that thy heart thus worketh, and thou dost all this? |
A27048 | Is it nothing to be dead in sins and trespasses? |
A27048 | Is it seemly for thee to lament thus at the door, when they are feasted with such unconceivable joys within? |
A27048 | Is not all this grievous to an honest heart? |
A27048 | Is not this the case of many among you? |
A27048 | Is the presence of Christ less desirable in thy eyes, then the presence of such sinfull worms as we, whom thou art loth to part with? |
A27048 | Is there a gracious soul, that groaneth not under the burden of these miseries? |
A27048 | Is there no remedy? |
A27048 | Is this a time to fear and mourn, when thou art entring into endless joy? |
A27048 | It is hard to win their hearts to such a state of Hap ● in ● ss, that can not be obtained but by yielding unto death? |
A27048 | Moreover art thou not truly willing to yield to all the terms of grace? |
A27048 | Must not your Teacher say, He sent to you, and was willing to have done his part, and you refused? |
A27048 | Must there a place be empty, and a voice be wanting in the Heavenly Chore, lest we should miss our friends on earth? |
A27048 | Must thy tender flesh be turned t ● rotness and dust? |
A27048 | Must we let them go? |
A27048 | Nay what a treasure of everlasting consequence, do these two words express? |
A27048 | Now if we will vigorously appear for God, against a sinfull generation, how many will appear against us? |
A27048 | O Sirs, do you know what you are doing? |
A27048 | O grave where is thy Victory? |
A27048 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
A27048 | O what a brutish thing is flesh? |
A27048 | O what should we do for the saving of careless, senseless souls? |
A27048 | Once thou wast a despiser of God and his holy wayes: but now it is far otherwise with thee? |
A27048 | Or dost thou not love their names, and wouldst thou not be with them? |
A27048 | Our thoughts of it would be still sweet, and these would be a powerfull Spring to action? |
A27048 | Shall the face of death discourage us from desiring such a bessed day? |
A27048 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
A27048 | Shall we believe, and fly from the end of our belief? |
A27048 | Shall we desire and pray, and be afraid of attaining our desires, and lest our prayers should be heard? |
A27048 | Shall we hope, and be loth to enjoy our hopes? |
A27048 | Shall we spend our lives in labour and travail, and be affraid of coming to our journeys end? |
A27048 | She was very Exemplary in self- denyal and humility: And having said this much, what abundance have I comprehended? |
A27048 | Suppose that I, and such as I, were the friends that thou art loth to leave: What if we had dyed long before thee? |
A27048 | Take heed lest Christ say,[ I have lent them my messengers long enough in vain; From henceforth never fruit grow on them? |
A27048 | Tell me plainly, hadst thou rather keep thy sin, or leave it? |
A27048 | The Lord doth gently question with him[ Dost thou well to be angry?] |
A27048 | The deterred, discouraged soul moves slowly in the way of life: Whereas if Death were not in our way, how chearfully should we run towards Heaven? |
A27048 | Then where is the man that will stand forth and break a jest at godliness, or make a scorn of the holy diligence of believers? |
A27048 | They were once on earth as low as we: and we shall be shortly in heaven, as high as they: Am I now in flesh, in fears, in griefs? |
A27048 | We should long so earnestly to be in Heaven, if Death were not in the way, that nothing could easily stop us in our course? |
A27048 | What a bondage is it, that our souls are so entangled with the creatures? |
A27048 | What a multitude of the most haynous sins are daily committed through the fears of death? |
A27048 | What a word of Hope and Joy is this, that[ Christ is risen?] |
A27048 | What an unreasonable thing is unbelief? |
A27048 | What an unspeakable comfort would this be to a dying man? |
A27048 | What else is Death but the ending of our Time? |
A27048 | What if the patient understand not how blood letting cureth the infected blood that is left behind? |
A27048 | What is it that is ungrateful to you in your meditations of your change? |
A27048 | What saith thy heart now to those terms? |
A27048 | What suffering then can be so great, in which a believer should not rejoyce, when he is before hand promised a gracious end? |
A27048 | What then wilt thou think of all these disquieting distrustfull thoughts that now so wrong thy Lord and thee? |
A27048 | What though at the present it be not joyous, but grievous( in it self?) |
A27048 | What was it that rejoyced thee all thy life, in thy prayers, and sufferings, and labours? |
A27048 | What way so ● owl that we would not travail, to our beloved home? |
A27048 | What? |
A27048 | When we have so full assurance, that at last this enemy also shall be destroyed? |
A27048 | Where there is one on earth, how many are there in Heaven? |
A27048 | Who is so mad as wilfully to sin with Death in his eye? |
A27048 | Who then is the wise and knowing man amongst you? |
A27048 | Who would not be spit upon, and made the scorn of the world for a day, if he might have his will for it as long as he liveth on earth? |
A27048 | Who would not enter willingly into the fight, when he may before hand be assured, that the field shall be cleared of every enemy? |
A27048 | Who would not submit to any labour or toyl for a day, that he might win a life of plenty and delight by it? |
A27048 | Why dost thou doubt( poor humbled soul) of thy interest in Christ, that must make the conquest? |
A27048 | Why then art thou not as loth to stay from them? |
A27048 | Why thus it was once with the millions that are now triumphing with their Lord? |
A27048 | Will thy Physitian therefore cast thee off, because thou art sick? |
A27048 | Would it not rejoyce your hearts, if you were sure to live, to see the coming of the Lord, and to see his glorious appearing and retinue? |
A27048 | Wouldst thou have our company? |
A27048 | Wy shouldst thou be afraid to go the way that all the Saints have gone before thee? |
A27048 | Yea hath not Christ already subdued so many of thy enemies, as may assure thee he will subdue the rest? |
A27048 | and be not his Image it self upon thee? |
A27048 | and begun that life in thee, which may assure thee of eternal life? |
A27048 | and canst thou think it seemly to be so unlike them, that art passing to them? |
A27048 | and is not this a pledge that he will do the rest? |
A27048 | and must thou lie in darkness till the Resurrection, and thy body remain as the Common earth? |
A27048 | and now art thou afraid to enter in? |
A27048 | and part with any thing to attain it? |
A27048 | and rather here suffer with us then reign in heaven with Christ and us? |
A27048 | and shall thy approaches to it be thy sorrows? |
A27048 | and shall we grudge that they are gone a day, or week, or year before us? |
A27048 | and should we not be so far weary of such a life as this, as to be willing to depart and be with Christ? |
A27048 | and so detained from the love of God? |
A27048 | and that he that hath not the Spirit of Christ is none of his? |
A27048 | and that his blood and grace is sufficient to save thee, from greater sins then those that trouble thee? |
A27048 | and that no man can be saved except he be converted and born again? |
A27048 | and that thou shouldst cast away the joy of the Lord which is thy strength, and gratifie the enemy of thy peace? |
A27048 | and that you must first seek the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness? |
A27048 | and the motions of the new and heavenly nature, which is begotten in thee by the Holy Ghost? |
A27048 | and what can be more necessary to a comfortable end, then faithfully to use it while we have it? |
A27048 | and whether it be not only lothness to die, and not a lothness to be with Christ? |
A27048 | and who doth not dread the name, or at least the face of Death? |
A27048 | and will he after all this break his promise, and leave us in the dust for ever? |
A27048 | and will he now forget thee, and end in wrath that begun in Love? |
A27048 | and wouldst thou not be thus perfected in soul and body? |
A27048 | and yet had we rather dwell with sin, in tempting, troubling, corruptible flesh, then lay them by, and dwell with Christ? |
A27048 | and yet wilt thou pass into it with heaviness? |
A27048 | are thine eyes held waking, and doth trouble and sorrow waste thy spirit? |
A27048 | are we not all agreed, that God is to be preferred before the world? |
A27048 | do they weep when they see thy pale face, and consumed body, and when they hear the sighs and groans? |
A27048 | doth they flesh in thy heart fail thee, and thy friends prove silly comforters to thee? |
A27048 | especially when they lament their own unkindness? |
A27048 | how bitterly will they reproach us? |
A27048 | how carefully would they live? |
A27048 | how constantly, painfully and resolvedly w ● uld they labour? |
A27048 | how falsly will they slander us, and say all manner of evil against us? |
A27048 | how fervently would they pray? |
A27048 | how full they are of God, and how they are ravished with his Light and Love? |
A27048 | how seriously would they meditate? |
A27048 | must he therefore plead against his Physitian, and say, It will not be done, because he knoweth not how it s done? |
A27048 | or is it only because you fear lest you have no interest in his Love, and shall not attain the blessedness which you desire? |
A27048 | or unwilling to receive thee, and have mercy on thee? |
A27048 | or who so dead as with death in h ● s eye, to refuse to live a godly life, if he have any spiritual light and feeling? |
A27048 | or would they take it kindly of you, if you could bring them down again into this world, though it were to reign in wealth and honour? |
A27048 | so did they by David, and many other now with Christ? |
A27048 | that such horrid thoughts of unbelief should look into our minds, and stay so long, and be so familiar with us? |
A27048 | that we find continually so much of the creature, and so little of God upon our hearts? |
A27048 | the love of life, and the love of ease; the fear of death, and the fear of suffering? |
A27048 | then Peter& Paul and all the Saints? |
A27048 | was it not the hopes of heaven? |
A27048 | would it not be the greatest joy that you could desire? |
A27048 | would you not gadly do it? |
A27048 | yea, in every prayer, what do we else but confess them, and lament them, and groan for help, and for deliverance? |
A27048 | ● nd will you live as if you had nothing but the world to mind, when you are even ready to step into the endless world? |
A63741 | * But besides this; If God leaves any remains of Sin in us, what remains are they, and of what sins? |
A63741 | 6. as one of the fundamental points of Christian Religion? |
A63741 | Abraham''s faith without Abraham''s works is nothing: for of him that hath faith, and hath not works, S. James askes, can Faith save him? |
A63741 | All shall be damned who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness: Does not every man believe this? |
A63741 | An cuiquam licere putas, quod cuivis non licet? |
A63741 | And I pray consider; can there be any forgiveness of sins without repentance? |
A63741 | And after all this, in the conduct of Government what remedy can there be to those that call themselves Tender Consciences? |
A63741 | And do not we see and feel that at this very day the Pride of men makes it seem impossible for many persons to obey their Superiors? |
A63741 | And how many men are there amongst us who are therefore enemies to the Religion, because it seems to be against their profit? |
A63741 | And how will those evil Guides themselves abide in Judgment, when the Angels of wrath snatch their abused People into everlasting Torments? |
A63741 | And if it be said that Laws may be mistaken; it is true, but may not an Oath also be a Perjury? |
A63741 | And if you do your duty as you can, do you think the failure will be on Gods part? |
A63741 | And is it not more likely he will relapse, if the sickness be not wholly cured? |
A63741 | And is it not plainly said in Scripture, Vnless ye repent ye shall all perish? |
A63741 | And is it not the best, the surest way to cure the Pride of our hearts, by taking out every root of bitterness, even the root of Pride it self? |
A63741 | And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing that I do? |
A63741 | And this is the only way which Christ hath taught us: if you ask, What is Truth? |
A63741 | And truly what is the hope of man? |
A63741 | And what can be answered to this? |
A63741 | And what is now to be done? |
A63741 | And what more? |
A63741 | And what then do you think will be the event of those Assemblies, where he that presents the prayers of all the people is hateful to God? |
A63741 | And which of us all stands here this day, that does not need God''s pardon and the Kings? |
A63741 | Are all the practices of Geneva or Scotland recorded in the word of God? |
A63741 | Are not the temptations to little sins very little? |
A63741 | At, at, Quintilium perpetuus sopor Vrget: cui pudor& justitiae soror Incorrupta fides, nudaque veritas Quando ullum invenient parem? |
A63741 | Basil, a man almost equal to the Apostles? |
A63741 | Believest thou this? |
A63741 | But I pray consider, can any man have Faith that denyes God? |
A63741 | But I pray consider; what is hating of any man, but designing and doing him all the injury and spite we can? |
A63741 | But I, like David, will cry out, Where are thy loving- kindnesses which have been ever of old? |
A63741 | But first, who ever did so that could help it? |
A63741 | But how shall this come to pass, since we all find our selves so infinitely weak and foolish? |
A63741 | But if Christianity be so excellent a Religion, why are so very many Christians so very wicked? |
A63741 | But if Envy be the accuser, what can be the defences of Innocence? |
A63741 | But is there any man in the World that does all that he can do? |
A63741 | But is there no remedy for this? |
A63741 | But is there not great difference in the Thing commanded? |
A63741 | But now consider, what think we of this Proposition? |
A63741 | But tell me, Where are those great Masters, who while they liv''d, flourish''d in their studies? |
A63741 | But the question is, whether any man that is covetous or proud, false to his trust, or a Drunkard, can at the same time be a child of God? |
A63741 | But the wonder is the less; for we know when God said to Jonas, doest thou well to be angry? |
A63741 | But then 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, who are these Stewards and Rulers over the houshold now? |
A63741 | But what are you the better if any man should pretend to teach you whether every Angel makes a species? |
A63741 | But what course must be taken with Tender Consciences? |
A63741 | But what if our Princes or our Prelates command things against the Word of God? |
A63741 | But what then again? |
A63741 | But what then? |
A63741 | But what''s that to us who saw it not? |
A63741 | But will we do nothing else? |
A63741 | By this you may try your faith, if you please, and make an end of this question: Do you believe in the Lord Jesus, yea or no? |
A63741 | Can any man be justified that does not love God? |
A63741 | Can any thing be beyond this? |
A63741 | Can not Christ redeem us, and cleanse us from all our sins? |
A63741 | Can not a Christian mortifie the deeds of the body? |
A63741 | Can not a man deny God by works as much as by words? |
A63741 | Can not sin be avoided? |
A63741 | Can not the works of the Devil be destroyed? |
A63741 | Can the Prince give Laws to the peoples will, and can the people give measures to the Princes understanding? |
A63741 | Can the definition of a Christian be, that a Christian is a man that rails against Bishops and the Common Prayer- book? |
A63741 | Can we become a Law unto our selves, and can not the word and power of our Superiors also become a Law unto us? |
A63741 | Could the poor Demoniack that liv''d in the Graves, by the power of the Devil break his iron chains in pieces? |
A63741 | Do not all men desire to end their dayes in Religion, to dye in the arms of the Church, to expire under the conduct of a religious man? |
A63741 | Do not we see this by daily experience? |
A63741 | Does he leave the remains of Pride? |
A63741 | Does not every good man overcome all the power of great sins? |
A63741 | Does not he hate Christ that dishonours him, that makes Christs members the members of an harlot? |
A63741 | Faith indeed is a title and relation to Christ; it is a naming of his names, but what then? |
A63741 | First Christ, and then they that are Christ''s: But what shall become of them that are not Christs? |
A63741 | For did not our blessed Saviour say, that an Oath is the end of all questions, and after depositions are taken, all Judges go to sentence? |
A63741 | For do we not see by experience that nothing of equal loudness does awaken us sooner than a mans voice, especially if he be called by name? |
A63741 | For how shall any man preach against sin, or affright his people from their dangers, if he denies Gods justice? |
A63741 | For let any man consider, can the Faith of Christ, and the hatred of God stand together? |
A63741 | For the matter of giving offences, what scandal is greater than that which scandalizes the Laws? |
A63741 | For till that be done, how can any man tell where the fault lies, or whether it can be done or no? |
A63741 | For what do we think of those that detain the Faith in Unrighteousness? |
A63741 | For what think we of those that did miracles in Christs name, and in his name cast out Devils? |
A63741 | For will God bless them, or pardon them, by whom so many Souls perish? |
A63741 | Hast thou sinned? |
A63741 | Have not they Faith? |
A63741 | Have we so much faith as to think it possible that two Rivals of a Crown should love so dearly? |
A63741 | Have you any hope, or any faith when you say that Prayer? |
A63741 | He that saith he hath not sinned, is a liar; but what then? |
A63741 | How can a wicked man understand the purities of the heart? |
A63741 | How shall he reconcile the penitents, who is himself at enmity with God? |
A63741 | How shall he that hath not tasted of the Spirit by contemplation, stir up others to earnest desires of Coelestial things? |
A63741 | I can say no more, but to expostulate with them in those upbraiding words of God in the Prophet; Do they provoke me to anger saith the Lord? |
A63741 | I have tried all the ways I can to bring thee home, and what shall I now do unto thee? |
A63741 | I shall for the tryal of our faith ask one easie question; Do we believe that the story of David and Jonathan is true? |
A63741 | I, that''s the point; but who can watch alwayes? |
A63741 | If God teaches us, then all is well; but if we do not learn Wisdom at his feet, from whence should we have it? |
A63741 | If a man strikes his Neighbor, and sayes, Am not I in jest? |
A63741 | If faith alone will not do it, what will? |
A63741 | If one mans Conscience can be the measure of another mans action, why shall not the Princes Conscience be the Subjects measure? |
A63741 | If we can besaved without Charity and keeping the Commandments, what need we trouble our selves for them? |
A63741 | If we did hate all sins as we hate these, would it not be as easie to be as innocent in other instances as most men are in these? |
A63741 | If you do not think so, why do you not leave it? |
A63741 | Is it not a monument of a lasting reproach, that one of the Popes of Rome condemned the Bishop of Sulzback for saying that there were Antipodes? |
A63741 | Is it not a piece of our Catechism, the first thing we are taught, and is it not the last thing that we practise? |
A63741 | Is it to be supposed that a Godly man is better enabled to determine the Questions of Purgatory of Transubstantiation? |
A63741 | Is not Repentance a forsaking all sin, and an intire returning unto God? |
A63741 | Is not such a Law, a Law without an obligation? |
A63741 | Is not the Adultery of the eye easily cured by shutting the eye- lid? |
A63741 | Is not the Government a part of it? |
A63741 | Is there no comfort after all this? |
A63741 | It is very hard when the Prince is forc''d to say to his rebellious Subject, as God did to his stubborn People, Quid faciam tibi? |
A63741 | Many shall be purified, and made white, and tryed; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and what then? |
A63741 | May not every man chuse whether he will obey or no? |
A63741 | Must it always be so? |
A63741 | Nay, if from these we have not sufficient causes, and arguments of Faith, how shall we be able to know the will of Heaven upon Earth? |
A63741 | Now among all the pretensions of Reformation, who can tell better what is, and what is not, true Reformation, than he that is truly Reformed himself? |
A63741 | Now consider; Do not we every day pray in the Divine Hymn called Te Deum, Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin? |
A63741 | Now which of these says true? |
A63741 | Or can any man love God and sin at the same time? |
A63741 | Or is it harder to overcome a little sin than a great one? |
A63741 | Or is the Conscience of the Superior bound to relax his Laws if the Inferior tells him so? |
A63741 | Or what good shall the people receive, when the Bishop layes upon their head a covetous or a cruel, an unjust or an impure hand? |
A63741 | Quid enim vultis me otiosum à Domino comprehendi? |
A63741 | Remember your dignity to which Christ hath called you: shall such a man as I flee, said the brave Eleazar? |
A63741 | Saucior invidiae morsu, quaerenda medela est, Dic quibus in terris sentiet aeger opem? |
A63741 | Scilicet expectes ut tradat mater honestos Atque alios mores quam quos habet? |
A63741 | Shall the Execution of the Law be suspended as to all such persons? |
A63741 | Shall they reign with Christ who evacuate the death of Christ, and make it useless to dear Souls? |
A63741 | Some men are drunk with Phancy, and mad with Opinion: Who believe more strongly than boyes and women? |
A63741 | That doth not feed and clothe these members? |
A63741 | That''s not possible: and can not a man as well deny God by an evil action, as by an heretical Proposition? |
A63741 | That''s well: but shall all Christians have the Spirit? |
A63741 | The Spirit of God is our teacher: he will abide with us for ever to be our teacher: he will teach us all things; but how? |
A63741 | The Subject should rather say, Quid me vis facere? |
A63741 | The next enquiry is, What must the dis- agreeing Subject do when he supposes the Superiors command is against the Law of God? |
A63741 | The same question I am to ask concerning the words of my Text: Does S. Paul mean this of himself, or of some other? |
A63741 | Therefore labour against every part of it, reject every proposition that gives it countenance; pray to God against it all; and what then? |
A63741 | This device produced the conferences at Poissy, at Montpellier, at Ratisbon, at the Hague, at many places more: and what was the event of these? |
A63741 | WHat the Eunuch said to Philip, when he read the Book of the Prophet Isaiah; Of whom speaketh the Prophet this, of himself, or some other man? |
A63741 | Well it may be so: but were it not better that you did doubt? |
A63741 | Well, to what purpose is all this? |
A63741 | Well: there''s our Teacher told of plainly: But how shall we obtain this teacher, and how shall we be taught? |

A23622 | 46. and will not you own it with your practise? |
A23622 | A selfish Spirit is unworthy of a Christian: are the common concernments of Gods Glory, and the prosperity of the Church, much upon your hearts? |
A23622 | Again, hath Christ recorded his Name in your hearts? |
A23622 | Again, how do You stand affected towards Holiness? |
A23622 | Against which of these Rules have I offended, in the day foregoing? |
A23622 | Ah vile and putrid Carkases? |
A23622 | Ah what a Block doth Unbelief make of man? |
A23622 | Alas what will their favour avail you? |
A23622 | Alas, hath he not a thousand ways, both outward and inward, to make up a little outward disadvantage to us? |

A23622 | Believed thou this? |
A23622 | Beloved, GOD hath used you like Fondlings now, rather than like Sufferers: What shall I say? |
A23622 | Beloved, shall not the Vessel be for the use of the Porter that made it? |
A23622 | Beloved, what can you do? |

A23622 | But tell me my Beloved, is he a loser any way? |
A23622 | But we may now cry out as the Psalmist, in his complaint, O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? |
A23622 | But what Repentance did he seek with tears? |

A36905 | No; Of what then? |
A36905 | No; of thy End? |
A36905 | Not a drop? |
A36905 | Now I would sain know of thee, O sick Man, what concerns it thee, what is transacted in Germany, France, Italy, or Spain? |
A36905 | Now to comment upon this same place, we may make the like question, and give the very self- same Answer, Nonne omnia Pulvis nonne Fabula? |
A36905 | O Men, you dreamt that you were happy and blessed; but of all those things which ye had, which ye hoped for, what do ye retain? |
A36905 | O Mortals, Over- late is to Morrow''s life, live to day; pay your Salary to day; mourn for your Sins to day, for who has assured ye of to morrow? |
A36905 | O death where is thy sting? |
A36905 | O grave, where is thy Victory? |
A36905 | O my dearly beloved Friends, consider what you are all by nature? |

A36905 | Oh my Soul, are the things of time only or chiefly to be minded? |
A36905 | Oh press thy Soul hard with these thoughts, how it is like to go with thee, when thou first steppest into Eternity? |
A36905 | One praying by his Bed- side, asked him if he heard the Prayer? |

A36905 | Or can any thing be had upon Earth, that will hold ever? |
A36905 | Or can the thoughts of Heaven be any otherwise comfortable, than as thou believest it to be thy Heaven? |
A36905 | Or canst thou be whereChrist is, and not die? |
A36905 | Or doth thy natural timorousness, or unpreparedness, put a check to the vehemency of thy Desires? |
A36905 | Or is endless glory no whit desirable? |
A36905 | Or may Hell be supposed to be a tolerable Habitation? |
A36905 | Or rather to comfort us in the time of Adversity? |
A36905 | Or tell where Death is not, if drops can kill? |
A36905 | Or what becometh of his Soul, when it hath once taken its leave of the body? |
A36905 | Or what good things( of any long continuance) are to be found in so weak a Subject? |
A36905 | Or whoever did he despise that called faithfully upon him? |
A36905 | Or, what is it, that thou so much stickest at? |
A36905 | Our Elisha is gone, and now who must next year invade the Land? |
A36905 | Q What if thou hadst liv''d longer, wouldst not thou have made the same complaint? |
A36905 | Quaeritur Aegistus quare sit factus Adulter? |
A36905 | Quid dabis pro animâ tuâ tunc, qui nunc pro nihi ● … o das illam? |
A36905 | Rather will it not do me good? |
A36905 | SEest thou, frail Man, the Emblem of thy State? |
A36905 | Secondly, An acknowledgment of his own Imbecillity and weakness, Can I bring him back again? |
A36905 | Secondly, What is within him? |
A36905 | Shall Hereticks and Pagans give Death a better welcome than thee? |
A36905 | Shall I fear my end, when I know I must have an end? |
A36905 | Shall I fear my last gasp, that puts an end to all my Sighs? |
A36905 | Shall he deliver his Soul from the Hand of the Grave? |
A36905 | Shall his Angels stand waiting to convey thy departed Soul home with Songs of Triumph? |
A36905 | Shall the vain Heathens shew so much Courage in Death, and Christians, trusting in God, be afraid and tremble? |
A36905 | Shall we be troubled upon Earth, because our Friends are at rest under it? |
A36905 | Should it be asked, what is most necessary for a sick Person? |
A36905 | Sick people think a Day a Month, a Month a Year, a Year an Age: How many Ages could this Man but think so many Years? |
A36905 | Sixthly, What is before him? |
A36905 | So that we may say with Nieremberg, How many things are to pass in that Moment? |
A36905 | Sometimes a little Fever; what do I say? |
A36905 | St. Lawrence upon the Gridiron? |
A36905 | Such love as ours did not always possess the hearts of some as nearly allyed? |

A36905 | Tell me how God Created Heaven and Earth out of nothing? |
A36905 | Tell me how the Bones grow in the Womb of her that is with Child: Can you tell how the Child is framed? |
A36905 | Th''exact Idea of thy hasting Fate? |
A36905 | That thou flourishing in Purple and Silk, would see Lazarus lye in Rags? |
A36905 | That thou seeing even thy Dogs have pity on him, thou wouldst have no pity upon him thy self? |
A36905 | The First is this, If thou art Dust and Ashes, wherefore art thou proud, thou Dust and Ashes? |
A36905 | The Introduction; and whether Sickness be an Evil? |
A36905 | The Lord gave me my Child, and now hath he taken him away from me again, therefore why should I any longer fast and mourn? |
A36905 | The Lord is my Light and my Health: Whom shalt thou fear? |
A36905 | The Soul of my Neighbour, this Bell tells me, is gone out; Whither? |
A36905 | The first circumstance of the Rich man is, to know what became of his Body? |
A36905 | The most admirable Job, almost by way of complaint interrogates the Deity; And dost thou so soon cast me down? |
A36905 | The same, watch ye, how often doth St. Paul reiterate? |
A36905 | Then I shall with joy look back upon thee, O sad Messenger, and triumph over thee, saying, Oh Death, where is thy ● … ing? |
A36905 | Then asking his Friends, if he acted his part well, when they answered, Yes; why then, says he, do you not all clap your hands for me? |
A36905 | Then inferred the other, And dost not thou fear to go to Sea? |
A36905 | Then said the Mariner, and do not you fear to go to Bed, so Fatal to all ● … our Predecessors? |
A36905 | Then turning his Face, and seeing some by, he said; Are you so nigh? |
A36905 | There is a Courage also in the Bed of Sickness: Shall I leave a Feaver, or that me? |
A36905 | There''s the Question; the Answer followeth in the next, It is even a Vapour,& c. First of the Question, What is your Life? |
A36905 | These( I say) I am sure to see, and to partake with them in Joy; why then should not I be willing to dye, to enjoy their perpetual Society in Glory? |
A36905 | Thirdly, What is before him? |
A36905 | This Night thy Soul shall be taken from thee, and who shall inherit what thou hast scrap''d together? |
A36905 | Thou art going a long a ● … d unknown Journey; and whither wouldst thou? |
A36905 | Thou being therefore Earth, why art thou Proud, thou Dust and Ashes? |
A36905 | Thou canst not give an account of thy own Production, nor find out the Work of God in forming the Body? |
A36905 | Thou demandest what is the utmost space of Life? |
A36905 | Thou hast begun well, who, what shall hinder thee? |
A36905 | Thou, who art sick, canst thou imitate this poor Man? |
A36905 | Thus Sitenus, being tak''n by Midas, and ask''d, what was the best thing could happen to Man? |
A36905 | Thy Pains, Do they afflict thee? |
A36905 | Thy Sleeps, Are they short and interrupted? |
A36905 | To die by little and little, is first to mortifie our lesser sins, and not to say with Lot, Is it not a little one? |
A36905 | To me he was a Brother, but now to the Worms: And what loss can be more deplorable than the loss of a Brother? |
A36905 | To me he was a Friend but now to the Grave: and what loss can be greater than the loss of a Friend? |
A36905 | To which the Seaman waving a reply? |
A36905 | To whom Death; Fond Banquet for the Grave, said he, couldst thou not prepare in so many Years; that hast had so many warnings from me already? |

A13752 | And how is this expressed by life? |
A13752 | And how many divine Histories have beene turned into fables, when things have beene deliuered by tradition from hand to hand, and from man to man? |
A13752 | And how should our thoughts alwayes flie up to God, since there is nothing but rottennesse and putrifaction found here in the world? |
A13752 | And how there? |
A13752 | And if any Examples have this force, have not these much more? |
A13752 | And if any prompted by Iudas shall object against this Solemnitie, and prolixe ceremonie ut quid perditio ista? |
A13752 | And if they be all so unconstant, what a foole art thou to set thy heart upon them? |
A13752 | And if ye say, but who is there that doth not expect the second comming of Christ? |
A13752 | And in regard of Death, why should we feare that? |
A13752 | And is it not an excellent thing for a man to have nothing to doe with Death when it commeth? |
A13752 | And is it not yet time to cease? |
A13752 | And is this a signe of security? |
A13752 | And let the Lords marriners come to them, and say Up sleeper, call upon thy God, why dost thou not doe thy first workes? |
A13752 | And may not we as well as they that lived in the Ages before us, for wee see no appearance of his comming, no more then was many hundred yeares since? |
A13752 | And shall death separate us from that we hope for? |
A13752 | And shall wee say that wee are not asleepe? |
A13752 | And so to receive Christ as a King, would you know what a King he is? |
A13752 | And the Philosopher who being demanded whether the living or the dead were more in number? |
A13752 | And the Princes court have a Ziba? |
A13752 | And the reason of this action and carriage, for I said, Who can tell whether the Lord will be gracious to mee that the child may live? |
A13752 | And then God shall say; Were these the things I gave you time for? |
A13752 | And then lastly, the wofull bargaine in such an exchange, What is a man profited? |
A13752 | And then the Petition followeth, Give me, because I will not take it of my owne head: Give me, What? |
A13752 | And then what followes? |
A13752 | And to conlude, above all let us encourage our selves, by the fruit and recompence of all this expectation; what is that? |
A13752 | And what Death is meant here? |
A13752 | And what can be more desired? |
A13752 | And what can we expect there wants? |
A13752 | And what doth hee meane by death? |
A13752 | And what is a man profited, if he gaine the world, and lose his owne soule? |
A13752 | And what is hee at the best? |
A13752 | And what so sweet a sight once to blessed Abraham, as Sarah? |
A13752 | And what was her care? |
A13752 | And what wisedome did hee wish, hee might apply his heart unto? |
A13752 | And when the Scripture calleth them vanitie, what doth it meane, but that they are emptie things? |
A13752 | And when they can not but know them, how doe they labour for distinction? |
A13752 | And where doth God teach, but in the Scripture? |
A13752 | And which of us is there that doth not arme Death with that sting? |
A13752 | And who is there here almost that suffereth not a losse in her? |
A13752 | And why should we thinke that there should come any alteration after, more then before? |
A13752 | And why? |
A13752 | And will you lose your soules for that that is nothing? |
A13752 | Another saith, what shall I doe when I am old, and can not take paines for my living? |
A13752 | Are all men Gods stewards? |
A13752 | Are not these the objects of reproach, and contempt amongst an unrighteous generation? |
A13752 | Are not these they that support the land by their prayers, and hold up all by their standing in the gappe? |
A13752 | Are not they strangers that are not capable of honours, of possessions in the place wherein they live, as being not free Denizens of the place? |
A13752 | Are not they strangers that are out of their proper place? |
A13752 | Are not they strangers that have double Impost, and double customes, and the greatest taxations layd upon them? |
A13752 | Are not they strangers, that have different lawes, and divers customes, and another Prince to rule and command them? |
A13752 | Are these times to runne after the sensuall, and sinfull courses of an ungodly generation? |
A13752 | Are wee able to stand before God, when hee is angrie with us? |
A13752 | Are you carefull to doe good, to persevere in the practise of godlinesse, because hee that shall come, will come, and will not tarry? |
A13752 | Are you carefull to let fall worldly affections, because you have a comfortable apprehension of heavenly joyes? |
A13752 | Are you carefull to turne your course from sinne, because you would not lye open to the judgement of condemnation? |
A13752 | As Phocion said to one, that by the same sentence of the Judges was to dye with him; Art thou not glad to fare as Phocion doth? |
A13752 | As Saint Ierom speakes to Paula mourning for her daughter; Art thou angrie Paula, because I have made thy child mine? |
A13752 | As if hee should say, There is a time comming when Crownes shall bee given: but to whom? |
A13752 | Asif he should say; What a bold part? |
A13752 | Be often thinking of the comming of Christ: often put this question to your soules; What if Christ should now come? |
A13752 | Being asked what evidences she had for her salvation? |
A13752 | Beloved, how could we answer to these things? |
A13752 | Blessed are they that dye in the Lord, for they rest from their labours: and who would not dye here, that hee may dwell with God there in rest? |
A13752 | Blessed is the man that judgeth wisely of the poore, why so? |
A13752 | Brethren, is it not thus? |
A13752 | But God deferreth the promise of his comming? |
A13752 | But I hope, you have beene at prayer in your family, have you not? |
A13752 | But Saint Peter answers these scoffers that asked, Where is the promise of his comming? |
A13752 | But againe secondly, if you make a peaceable death to bee the reward of the Righteous, what say you to this? |
A13752 | But againe, a mans selfe must be armed, or else hee can not incounter with his enemie, What is our Armour against Death to keepe off that blow? |
A13752 | But alas what shall I say? |
A13752 | But alas, you will say, if hee be so great a God; so glorious, how shall such a poore wretch as I, stand before him? |
A13752 | But doe we not reade that immediatly before the seventy years captivity, there were more Prophets then in many yeares before? |
A13752 | But hapily thou maist say, how shall I know that the day of Death, is the day of dissolution, and this kind of dismission? |
A13752 | But here is the thing: What is the bent of thy heart? |
A13752 | But here it may bee objected( for the clearing of the point) May not a Christian seeke himselfe in the things that hee doth? |
A13752 | But here perhaps some may aske why eternall life should not be the wages of righteousnesse, as well as death the wages of sinne? |
A13752 | But here this question may be demanded: but by what meanes now doth Christ convey this spirituall life to his children? |
A13752 | But here this question may bee demanded; but is not this Resurrection of the body, a benefit common to the wicked? |
A13752 | But how are workes in this sense said to follow the dead? |
A13752 | But how commeth it to passe that it is not thus? |
A13752 | But how commeth it to passe that there is so little regard of God? |
A13752 | But how could you have beene acquainted with their faith; if you had not heard of their clothing? |
A13752 | But how did Iobs patience appeare in the Afflictions, in the changes of his life? |
A13752 | But how did he live? |
A13752 | But how doth a man make afflictions worse? |
A13752 | But how many of those promises, as well as those other purposes, come to nothing? |
A13752 | But how must we resist him? |
A13752 | But how shall I know whether Death when he commeth, shall find a sting in me or no? |
A13752 | But how shall a man in such actions of mercie, and bountie, and liberalitie, make it appeare that hee doth good? |
A13752 | But how shall we come to heaven? |
A13752 | But how shall wee come to be awakened? |
A13752 | But how shall wee doe this? |
A13752 | But how then come little children to die before they have committed any sinne actually? |
A13752 | But if there be good evidences of a Saint translated to glory, shall we mourne as men without hope? |
A13752 | But if this be so, what shall we say to further miserie? |
A13752 | But now hee is dead, wherefore should I fast: Can I bring him backe againe? |
A13752 | But now hee is dead, wherefore should I fast? |
A13752 | But now, hee is dead, wherefore should I fast? |
A13752 | But of what of this? |
A13752 | But of whom? |
A13752 | But some will say, by what instrument will he destroy the world? |
A13752 | But some will say, these Examples were after Davids time, What were these to him? |
A13752 | But that man that lives by faith is without feare; As Peter when hee began to sinke, saith Christ, Why dost thou feare? |
A13752 | But the next word is, Looking for what? |
A13752 | But then againe beside that conversation we have with beleevers, the ● … e are many men in the world that expect certaine duties from us? |
A13752 | But then how terrible is Derth, when it commeth in compleate Armour, as it doth against a person in whom Sinne remaineth in its full power? |
A13752 | But then if the dead be blessed, why doe wee not die, that wee may be blessed? |
A13752 | But then you will say, Why must there be such a wayting for this? |
A13752 | But there being divers kinds of death, which of them is here meant? |
A13752 | But there shall be no such thing here: God is the Iudge of all the earth, and shall not hee doe right? |
A13752 | But they might say, vertue, that is that that guideth a man in all Morralls, in all the course of his life and conversation? |
A13752 | But this is also limited, it shall bee destroyed, to whom? |
A13752 | But this is the occasion of trouble to Christians? |
A13752 | But to the wicked, saith God, what hast thou to doe, to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenants in thy mouth? |
A13752 | But to whom? |
A13752 | But was it past? |
A13752 | But we have many discouragements to good? |
A13752 | But what are these blessed fruits, what is the profit accruing to the soule of the people of God by this meanes? |
A13752 | But what comfort have we in the meane time, if Death be not destroyed till then? |
A13752 | But what comfortable thing is this, that here Saint Iohn is commanded to write? |
A13752 | But what course then shall wee take, that wee may finish our course with joy? |
A13752 | But what hath the righteous done? |
A13752 | But what if hee doe not? |
A13752 | But what if temporall judgements and afflictions befall them, is this for their owne sinne, or for the sinne of their Parents? |
A13752 | But what though you should have both temperance and Patience, these are but morall vertues? |
A13752 | But what was his behaviour under all these? |
A13752 | But what? |
A13752 | But when is a man fit for death? |
A13752 | But when will Christ doe this? |
A13752 | But where is the man that takes these things to heart? |
A13752 | But where is the man that yet gets out of the bed of security, that commeth out of his sleepe to meet the Lord? |
A13752 | But where sayth the Spirit so? |
A13752 | But wherefore have wee spoken all this? |
A13752 | But who are blessed then? |
A13752 | But why doe you speake these words? |
A13752 | But why wilt thou trust in a thing of nothing? |
A13752 | But wouldest thou have the sting of death pulled out before death come? |
A13752 | But yee will say; Is this the propertie of the Elect and faithfull? |
A13752 | But yet are not these as Lillies among thornes? |
A13752 | But you will say, how is it possible? |
A13752 | But you will say, indeede there are mansions, but there are aboundance to receive them, what shall we doe? |
A13752 | But you will say, may a man desire death? |
A13752 | But( quoth he) whom else dost thou thinke happy? |
A13752 | But, how can this be? |
A13752 | By the Apostles leave, we may be bold to quit another question with him, what the Apostle meanes to expresse it thus? |
A13752 | By way of detestation in the first verse, and part of the second, What shall we say then, shall we continue in sinne that Grace may abound? |
A13752 | Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will heare thee and deliver thee, and what shalt thou doe? |
A13752 | Can I bring him back againe? |
A13752 | Can a man hide himselfe from God in any secret place? |
A13752 | Can there be a greater stupiditie, then to make a man die twice? |
A13752 | Can we read of the mourning of Ioseph, of Hannah, of Iob, of Ieremie, of Ierusalem and not bee moved? |
A13752 | Can you got any thing by it? |
A13752 | Carnall Joy: will you know what the event of it will bee? |
A13752 | Certainly, we have cleansed our hearts in vaine; in vaine wee have washed our hands in innocencie: in vaine we labour to live godly lives; Why? |
A13752 | Come from praying to hearing the Word preached; how can a man heare the word profitably without patience? |
A13752 | Come to another, that hath a wife: all his care is for her: oh my wife and children, if I should die, and leave them poore, what should I doe? |
A13752 | Come to men in their shops, and dealings, and see them dead in their worldlinesse, and covetousnesse; and shall we say they are alive to God? |
A13752 | Come yee blessed,& c. for what you have done to these you have done to me, hee is in heaven; and so Saul, why dost thou persecute me? |
A13752 | Could God at the first draw all things out of nothing, and can not God as well bring together all againe, when they are turned to nothing? |
A13752 | Could hee make that body of thine out of the dust of the earth, and can not he raise that body, when it is turned to dust? |
A13752 | Could hee unite that body to the soule in the time of the Creation, and can not he unite it at the time of the Resurrection? |
A13752 | Cressus the Lybian( a man happy in his great achievements) asked Solon; Pray( quoth he) tell mee, what man dost thou thinke happie? |
A13752 | David cries out, hee roared for the disquitnesse of his spirit, his bones were broken, he was sore vexed, Lord how long? |
A13752 | David tooke this course at other times, Why art thou cast downe, oh my soule, why art thou disquieted within mee? |
A13752 | David, wee see, checks himselfe, he had a curbe to bridle his passions; Why art thou cast downe, oh my soule? |
A13752 | Death is the greatest amazement a man can meet withall in the World, but what can Death doe? |
A13752 | Descend into thy owne heart; It is that that the Lord lookes for, that a man should say, What have I done? |
A13752 | Did Christ come for this end? |
A13752 | Did God give onely one Table? |
A13752 | Did I bestow time on you, for to bee spent about such things as these? |
A13752 | Did nor hee acknowledge that few and evill were the dayes of his pilgrimage? |
A13752 | Did not he that was a man after Gods owne heart, that had a speciall promise that his house should continue for ever? |
A13752 | Did the people reforme? |
A13752 | Dives, hee lived a voluptuous life, had he not a sting for it? |
A13752 | Do they endure to the very death? |
A13752 | Doe good to all men; What doth the Apostle meane, that every man should receive the fruits of our Beneficence? |
A13752 | Doe not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? |
A13752 | Doe not these demonstrate that it is lawfull to desire death? |
A13752 | Doe not ungodly men and sinners beleeve the comming of Christ, and that he shall come to judge the quick and dead? |
A13752 | Doe the glittering shewes of outward things make thee begin to over- fancie them? |
A13752 | Doe we thinke to live by Christ, and not serve Christ? |
A13752 | Doe wee finde this joy in our hearts? |
A13752 | Doe wee not now beate our breasts, and hang downe our heads, and rend our hearts, and punish our selves for our sinnes, that God may not punish them? |
A13752 | Doe wee not see God hath beene mercifull to many sinners, why may he not be so to me too? |
A13752 | Doe wee not see by all this discourse a plaine difference betweene godly men and unbeleevers? |
A13752 | Doe wee not see this daily in the death of others before us: such a one is dead, where is his body now? |
A13752 | Doe you call this as if not, brethren? |
A13752 | Doe you love your name? |
A13752 | Doe you thinke the Lord speakes not as he meaneth? |
A13752 | Doest thou not looke earnestly? |
A13752 | Doest thou( I say) know this Doctrine, and so know it as to practise it? |
A13752 | Dost thou complaine that thou canst not beare afflictions patiently? |
A13752 | Dost thou complaine that thy affections are unruly, and set upon wrong objects? |
A13752 | Dost thou complaine that thy heart is hard and stonie? |
A13752 | Dost thou complaine that thy understanding is darke and blinde? |
A13752 | Dost thou consider for what cause God sendeth Death abroad into the world? |
A13752 | Dost thou consider this with thy selfe, as thou oughtest to doe? |
A13752 | Dost thou consider what Death will doe to thee when it commeth? |
A13752 | Dost thou daily get ground of thy corruptions? |
A13752 | Dost thou desire unfeignedly, that the same may bee wrought in thy heart? |
A13752 | Dost thou determine still, still to amend that that still troubleth thee? |
A13752 | Dost thou feele a spirituall life wrought inwardly? |
A13752 | Dost thou feele this change inwardly in thy soule? |
A13752 | Dost thou grieve at thine owne weaknesse, to whom the thought of Death is sometime troublesome and unsavourie? |
A13752 | Dost thou labour to know what happinesse comes by Death to those that feare the Lord? |
A13752 | Dost thou love those that excell in vertue? |
A13752 | Dost thou not know that there is one that shall judge him and thee? |
A13752 | Dost thou remember mee, O Lord? |
A13752 | Dost thou still continue to fight with the lusts of thy flesh by the spirituall weapons that God hath ordained for thee? |
A13752 | Dost thou thinke to have an eternall rest in heaven, and wilt not give God a rest here? |
A13752 | Dost thou thinke to live by me, and not worke to me? |
A13752 | Dost thou waite for Christs comming, and yet runne from Christs ordinances? |
A13752 | Dost thou when thou hearest this speech of Simeon, wish that thou wert able to use the like words, with the like resolution? |
A13752 | Doth God awaken thy conscience by the preaching of his word? |
A13752 | Doth God doe this for this end, that he may humble a man? |
A13752 | Doth God pervert judgement, or doth the Almigty pervert Iustice? |
A13752 | Doth God smite thee with someafflictions, if with losses? |
A13752 | Doth hee offer a gracious message of peace to thy soule? |
A13752 | Doth hee speake peace at any time by the ministerie of his Word? |
A13752 | Doth it appeare outwardly in thy speeches, is there a change there? |
A13752 | Doth it fill a man so, as that hee needs no more? |
A13752 | Doth it quiet the conscience? |
A13752 | Doth it raise murmuring, and impatiencie of spirit? |
A13752 | Doth not every man make this profession of his faith; I beleeve that Iesus Christ shall come to judge the quick and the dead? |
A13752 | Doth not the Lord say to his servant Moses, No man can see my face and live? |
A13752 | Doth not the chiefe of the Apostles intreat us as Pilgrims and strangers, to abstaine from fleshly lusts, which fight against the soule? |
A13752 | Doth not the holy Patriarch that wrestled with God, and had principalitie over him? |
A13752 | Doth not your owne experience tell you this? |
A13752 | Doth such a man die by an ordinary sicknesse, having his understanding, and memorie continued to the end? |
A13752 | Doth the desire of having thy owne will prevaile against the desire of submitting to Gods will? |
A13752 | Doth this testifie our life in Christ, that wee are dead to sinne? |
A13752 | Doth thy heart condemne thee? |
A13752 | Durst they adde drunkennesse to thirst? |
A13752 | Elijah was removed from earth to heaven in a firie chariot, shall Elisha weepe because hee enjoyeth him not? |
A13752 | Even as the Prophet observed in his time, so now who doth not see all the world at rest and at peace? |
A13752 | Even so it is with many of us, that professe the teaching of Grace; Alas, how doe we waste time insensibly? |
A13752 | Every evening call thy selfe to an account; What have I done this day? |
A13752 | Every place hath a conseruing vertue in it: Doth this world preserve man? |
A13752 | Every place is adequate to the thing placed in it; is this world adequate to man? |
A13752 | Examine therefore whether thou be come forth of the grave of sinne? |
A13752 | First Death is to answer to this 〈 ◊ 〉, where is thy s ● … ng? |
A13752 | First, because it was against reason, wherefore should I fast? |
A13752 | First, by the progresse of thy Mortification: Is sinne daily more and more mortified in thee? |
A13752 | First, by thy forsaking of sinne, whether hast thou left those sinnes thou formerly livedst in? |
A13752 | First, consider how unprofitable a man, a Christian man is, when he is asleepe: What is a man when he is asleepe? |
A13752 | First, of what death doth the Apostle here speake of, that sinne is the sting of? |
A13752 | First; are naturall parents thus to their children? |
A13752 | For as the Apostle saith, Doe you not know that as long as a man liveth, his wife is subject to him, and shee must not converse with another? |
A13752 | For if they could exempt, how should pietie have the reward? |
A13752 | For our spirituall enemies: Will any man feare a wounded foe? |
A13752 | For the evills of the world: Why should we feare them? |
A13752 | For the first of these, what is meant by sleepe? |
A13752 | For the other two, you will say, if they be none of mine, why doe I meddle with them? |
A13752 | For unlesse the dead should arise, how can Death be destroyed? |
A13752 | For what is a man profited if hee gaine the whole world, and lose his soule? |
A13752 | For what is there in all the World that can comfort a man indeed besides this, much lesse compared with this? |
A13752 | For what is your life? |
A13752 | For what is your life? |
A13752 | For what was he? |
A13752 | For who can give life, but the God of life, that hath life in himselfe? |
A13752 | For, what is it that men are evill spoken of, is it not for this, and that particular evill? |
A13752 | For, why should she that had done no hurt, doe hurt to her selfe? |
A13752 | Fourthly, and lastly, why the Apostle doth bestow this exhortation upon sleepy persons that can not heare what he saith? |
A13752 | Fourthly, whence are these mourners? |
A13752 | Fourthly; Doth God doe it for this end, that he may make thee better prepared for death? |
A13752 | Give me: What? |
A13752 | Glorifying God, and being thankefull to him is all the tribute wee are to pay to this our royall Lord; and shall we deny him this? |
A13752 | God grant they bee not so violent, and full of ominous precipitations that they portend our sudden ruine? |
A13752 | God hath a time to doe that great worke that he hath now purposed: What is that worke? |
A13752 | God takes them out of a valley of teares, shall we mourne unsatiably for those that are tooke out of the valley of teares? |
A13752 | God the Father, saith hee, hath given all authoritie to his Sonne to judge, Why? |
A13752 | God to comfort the distressed Church in the time of calamitie, for their affliction( saith he) they shall have double; Double what? |
A13752 | God will bee knowne a God of truth, what he hath promised he will performe in due time: only what doth he expect of thee? |
A13752 | Godlinesse is great gaine;( but how?) |
A13752 | Gods Word? |
A13752 | Goe out my soule, goe out, why tremblest thou? |
A13752 | Had I fetched but one sigh, should it not have made thy life a perpetuall sigh: But when I have done so much for thy sake, shall it be lost? |
A13752 | Had I shed but one teare, should it not have broken up a fountaine of teares in thee? |
A13752 | Had not every one cause to lavgh at the folly of this Emperour? |
A13752 | Had not the Churches of Asia, the golden Candlesticke? |
A13752 | Had they not the Temple? |
A13752 | Haman aimed at himselfe: when the King asked him, what should be done to the man whom the King would honour? |
A13752 | Hast thou Faith? |
A13752 | Hast thou hope? |
A13752 | Hast thou knowledge? |
A13752 | Hast thou love? |
A13752 | Hast thou prevailed over the assaults of Sathan, and other of thy enemies? |
A13752 | Hath any one had the keeping of this booke of thy conscience? |
A13752 | Hath hee made thee a conquerour? |
A13752 | Hath not God made foolish the wisedome of this world? |
A13752 | Hath not the Lord sent the destroying Angell amongst us, that hath smitten thousands in our streets? |

A13752 | Hee afflicteth thee in thy body, hee might have afflicted thee in thy soule, and a wounded spirit who can beare? |
A13752 | Hee fell upon the necke of a Gentleman that sate close to him, who perceiving that he was not well, asked him how he did? |

A13752 | If for every idle word, what then for thy swearing and cursing, and lying? |
A13752 | If he had said no more but this, Who knoweth whether the childe may live? |
A13752 | If hee be able to come off, it is well enough, though it be performed in never so ill a manner: Why? |
A13752 | If hee rejoyce in any thing, what reason have I for it? |
A13752 | If hee should come now I am in my calling, in my worldly businesse, doe I follow it with a heavenly disposition as I ought to doe? |

A13752 | In what place hath shee lived, and hath not left a savour behinde her? |
A13752 | Indeed all the comfort that the soule is capable of is this, that the sting of death is tooke away? |
A13752 | Iob and Moses expressed it so, and so Isaiah here, to shew that Death is never sudden to the mercifull and righteous man, why? |
A13752 | Ionah, when the Lord chalenged him for his anger, Dost thou well to bee angrie? |

A13752 | Is not it so( beloved) with many of us? |
A13752 | Is not much part of our life spent without any fight of our friends? |

A13752 | Is this now a question, what meanes the agony of the Apostle? |
A13752 | Is this so? |
A13752 | Is this the matter of your prayer to God? |
A13752 | Is this the proofe of conjugall love? |
A13752 | Is this to be as if you had no wife and children? |
A13752 | It is but a dull grace, it is meerely passive? |
A13752 | It is certain, but who will Christ save? |
A13752 | It is not for you to know these times: Then beloved, why should we have an eare to heare, where God hath not a tongue to speake? |
A13752 | It is riches that we set our hearts upon? |
A13752 | It is true indeed, it is the common opinion, Doth a man lye quietly? |
A13752 | It is true, God hath given us such and such favours and mercies, hath offered us such and such opportunities, but what is this? |
A13752 | It is well to have abundance, saith nature, and sence, we can not be without it? |
A13752 | It may be now thou wilt demand of me, What shall I doe, that I may be ready? |
A13752 | It teacheth a man to strive and wrestle and contend against death, why? |
A13752 | It was altogether bootlesse, Why should I fast? |
A13752 | It was the expression of the Widow of Sarepta to the Prophet Eliah; Art thou come to call my sinnes to remembrance, and to slay my childe? |
A13752 | It will be here said, whence commeth this? |
A13752 | Item, so much for such apparell, for such entertainment, for such building of Walks and Galleries; What nothing for the servants of God? |
A13752 | Judgement, what is that? |
A13752 | Last of all, shall there be a change that shall befall every sonne of man? |
A13752 | Lastly, hath Christ conquered Death and Hell and that for us? |
A13752 | Lastly, is it life we build upon? |
A13752 | Let him proove his owne worke: by what shall he prove it? |
A13752 | Let mee die, saith Seneca, and what hurt comes by that? |
A13752 | Let mee talke with thee of thy judgements, Why doth the wicked prosper, and they that transgresse thy commandements? |
A13752 | Let not your hearts be troubled; But how shall wee helpe it? |
A13752 | Likewise when Gerardus was giving up the ghost, the Spirit spake in him, O Death where is thy sting? |
A13752 | Lord dost thou call for this blessing back againe? |
A13752 | Lord, since thou hast kept us from being beneath for our iniquities, should wee sinne more? |
A13752 | Lord, what is man, that thou art mindful of him, or settest thy hart upon him? |
A13752 | Lord, what is man, that thou art mindfull of him, or the son of man, that thou desirest him? |
A13752 | Make the heart of this people fat, make their eares heavy: and why so? |
A13752 | Man dieth and ● … steth away, and giveth up ▪ the ghost, and where is he? |
A13752 | Marke what Solomon saith, Wilt thou trust in a thing of nothing? |
A13752 | May not the Angell of the Lord returne that answer, as hee did in the first of Zephany; All the world is at rest? |
A13752 | May not the Church have a Balaam? |
A13752 | May not the Lord say of us, as hee did of the people in Ieremies time? |
A13752 | May not young men rejoyce in pleasures, in friends, in honours, in wealth? |
A13752 | May wee not rather feare that God will avenge the quarrell of his servants upon an ungracious, and ungratetull people they live amongst? |
A13752 | Moriar? |
A13752 | Morte nihil certius, As sure as Death, is an ordinary Proverbe; What man is hee that liveth, and shall not see death? |
A13752 | Much more ought it to be so here in this heavenly contract betweene Christ and his faithfull Spouse: should not here the Spouse bee sicke of love? |
A13752 | Must young men be carefull to chase away all carnall joy, and to get spirituall joy, that beginneth in godly sorrow? |
A13752 | Nay, he loseth himselfe in living to himselfe: What shall it profit a man to winne the whole world, and lose himselfe? |
A13752 | Nay, is it not that that hinders your blessednesse and happinesse? |
A13752 | Nay, shall wee goe further and come neerer, not onely in the world, but in the Church, that there should be such as doubt of that time and day? |
A13752 | Nay, what dishonours you, and exposeth you to reproach, and shame, and obliquie, is it not sinne? |
A13752 | Nay, what is sinne indeed, but impatience in a sense? |
A13752 | No hee offered up his Isaac; as if the Text had expressed Abrahams language thus; O Lord my God, what is it that thou callest for? |
A13752 | No such matter; What then? |
A13752 | Not at all? |
A13752 | Not the most? |
A13752 | Now I may say with that Father, what shall hee doe when hee comes to judge, that was able to doe thus, when he was to be judged? |
A13752 | Now I say when such wrong and injury is done to God, shall not God take a time to right himselfe of those that injure him? |
A13752 | Now I say, is not Christs glory a whit diminished in his abasement? |
A13752 | Now a worldly man doth the duty too: but how? |
A13752 | Now alas how unfit is a sleepie man, either to expect, or to repell an enemie? |
A13752 | Now all the enemies of a Christian are either reconciled, or conquered and foyled, and what then need he feare them? |
A13752 | Now hee withdrawes himselfe from the soule, and what is the end of it? |
A13752 | Now how doe wee know that the heart of man is fed and releeved, and supported with comfort from without it selfe, with borrowed and received comfort? |
A13752 | Now tell me if these men live not in a carnall sleepe? |
A13752 | Now the Faith of Gods servants in conflict, so sometime it is in conflict with feare, and sadnesse of spirit, Why art thou cast downe, oh my soule? |
A13752 | Now the Question is, what he resolveth to doe? |
A13752 | Now then, if thou waite for Christ in truth, how commeth it, that thou dost not love him? |
A13752 | Now thou hast a great deale of health, a great deale of strength, but hast thou beene the better for Gods service? |
A13752 | Now wee know what the sting is, let us enquire where it is? |
A13752 | Now what are the Graces? |
A13752 | Now what doth Abraham doe? |
A13752 | Now what is it to die in Christ in a large sense? |
A13752 | Now, What is it to bee in this, as if hee had no wife? |
A13752 | Now, as it is in this case with a tree; will you know when it is dead? |
A13752 | Now, what have yee done( beloved) to disarme death? |
A13752 | O Death where is thy sting? |
A13752 | O Death, where is thy sting? |
A13752 | O Grave where is thy victory? |
A13752 | O Hell, where is thy victorie? |
A13752 | O death where is thy sting? |
A13752 | O grave where is thy victory? |
A13752 | O grave, where is thy victorie? |
A13752 | Of Death in the first sence, David demandeth, who is hee that liveth, and shall not see death, and shall hee deliver his soule from the hand of hell? |
A13752 | Of Death in the second sense, Saint Paul enquireth, how shall wee that are dead to sinne live any longer therein? |
A13752 | Of any other life but this, wee may aske the question in the words of the Apostle, What is it? |
A13752 | Oh Absalom, my sonne, my sonne,& c. What great reason had hee for this? |
A13752 | Oh my beloved, what are all our afflictions? |
A13752 | Oh that we had learned this excellent lesson, that the Apostle teacheth the Corinths here, what wondrous happy people should wee be? |
A13752 | Oh what shall I doe then to secure my selfe from the great, from the strong, arme of death? |
A13752 | Oh who can dwell with devouring fire? |
A13752 | Oh why doe not wee make our eyes as fountaines to bewayle our sinnes? |
A13752 | Oh( saith Abner to Ioab) knowest thou not, that this will be bitternesse in the end? |
A13752 | Oh, but Death is disarmed, the sting of it is taken away, what a singular comfort is it then to you that Death is comming? |
A13752 | Oh, saith the Apostle, what reason have you to build on to day, and to morrow, when yee know not what a day will bring forth? |
A13752 | On the other side: what is the reason why infidelity doth presently bring judgements upon men? |
A13752 | One saith Lord, what would become of me if I should loose my wife? |
A13752 | Or as that great King said to Nehemiah; Why is thy countenance sad? |
A13752 | Or what will you doe? |
A13752 | Our grace? |
A13752 | Our selves? |
A13752 | Perishing is one step beyond death? |
A13752 | Quid regnat ● … res patuerit,& c. what shall he doe when he comes to reigne, that was able to doe thus, when he was to die? |
A13752 | Saint Pa ● … l ubi stimulus tu ● … 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, O Death where is thy sting? |
A13752 | Saith Nabal: shal I take my bread, and my drink, and give it to a man that I know not? |
A13752 | Salvation is brought: to whom? |
A13752 | Say within yourselves: How long Lord, am I like to continue below? |
A13752 | Secondly, great trialls for great Christians, because who is more able to susteine great trialls then great Christians? |
A13752 | Secondly, hath Christ destroyed Death, and hath hee both the keyes of Death and of Hell? |
A13752 | Secondly, here is Davids pietie expressed in this, Who knoweth whether the Lord will bee gracious to mee? |
A13752 | Secondly, it is altogether bootlesse and needlesse; Can I bring him backe againe? |
A13752 | See the difference betweene two persons, the one is afraid of every one he meeteth, the other is not; what is the reason? |
A13752 | See what the end of it was; Thou foole( saith the Lord) this night they shall fetch away thy soule, and then whose shall these things bee? |
A13752 | See, here is a faithfull, a hopefull man, and yet doth not die patiently: what would the Father say? |
A13752 | See, is not the Land as secure as they of Laish, or worse? |
A13752 | Seeing all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought wee to be in all holy conversation and godlinesse? |
A13752 | Shall I goe on in this vanity? |
A13752 | Shall a Traytour presume on the Kings favour, and Mordecai be out of the Kings grace? |
A13752 | Shall a man be afraid of his owne good? |
A13752 | Shall a man be saved by a halfe Faith, by a peece of Faith? |
A13752 | Shall not the Iudge of all the world doe right? |
A13752 | Shall shee want a memoriall? |
A13752 | Shall the Scripture say that hee perisheth, whose name is in the bundle of life, written in heaven? |
A13752 | Shall the beasts of the Forrests bee afraid of the Lyon, more then the poore wormes of the earth, of the mighty God of heaven and earth? |

A13752 | So if men would put the question to themselves concerning their affections: as, concerning love, why doe I set my heart upon such and such things? |
A13752 | So in another place the same Apostle, when hee would take men off from judging, saith hee; Iudge nothing before the time: Why? |
A13752 | So likewise here, is it possible that there should be righteousnesse toward God, when there is not mercie toward men? |
A13752 | So likewise worldly businesse, when a man loveth much employment, much businesse, he can not abide to thinke of death, Why so? |

A13752 | So take a spirituall man; what is the reason hee delights in spirituall things? |
A13752 | So the Apostle makes the argument, Hee that loveth not his brother whom hee hath seene, how can hee love God whom hee hath not seene? |
A13752 | So the Prophet Ieremy telleth Baruch in the captivity, Seekest thou great things for thy selfe? |
A13752 | So then the ground is this, that man that hath no enemies; that man that can not possibly be molested with any evill, what need hee feare? |
A13752 | So then, wouldest thou have peace in death? |
A13752 | So thinke with your selves, If I can not endure a little, how shall I endure more? |
A13752 | So when we sleepe, and slumber, and tumble, and tosse our selves in dead securitie, how unprofitable are we to Gods glorie, and to our owne selves? |
A13752 | So you may see in other servants of God, that this was alwayes the reason of any indirect course they tooke? |
A13752 | So, are wee not glad to fare as the holy Patriarkes, Prophets, and Apostles have done, and to goe after them? |
A13752 | So, how will you take away the sting of death? |
A13752 | So, remember that thou in thy life time haddest riches, but how didst thou imploy them? |
A13752 | Sometimes so overcome with the violence of the disease, as that( it may be) they speake impertinently and idlely, it may bee sinfully? |
A13752 | Soule, soule( saith he) take thine ease, eate, drinke, and bee merry: and why so? |
A13752 | Stretch out the dutie of Patience then; hast thou waited a weeke? |
A13752 | Such as makes thee cry to him for power and strength? |
A13752 | Suppose it be Prayer; How can a man goe on in the duty of prayer without Patience? |
A13752 | Suppose now, a man comes and meets with a Citizen in his businesse, and say to him; How have you spent this day? |

A13752 | That escaped the pestilence, that they should fall by the sword, by the hand of Nebuchadnezar: Why so? |
A13752 | That say to the Gold, thou art my God; and to honour, thou art my glory? |
A13752 | That servant that saith in his heart, my Master deferreth his comming, and therefore hee eates, and drinkes with the drunken: what is the issue of it? |
A13752 | That you desire this heavenly temper, I doubt not I should offer violence to Charitie, the Queene of Graces, if I should thinke otherwise? |
A13752 | The Angell told Zacharie that he should have joy and gladnesse at the birth of his sonne, why? |
A13752 | The Antecedent or Condition, is this; If in this life onely wee have hope in Christ; what then? |
A13752 | The Apostles were troubled with these kind of scoffers; Where is the promise of his comming? |
A13752 | The Lord is my light, and my salvation, whom shall I feare? |
A13752 | The Reason is, in regard there is the same maker of one, as of another; Wee have all one Father( sayth the Prophet) and hath not one God created us? |
A13752 | The Saints of God in former ages 1600. yeares agoe waited for Christ comming; but were they losers by it though he came not? |
A13752 | The faithfull are said to endure as seeing him that is invisible: how doe they endure? |
A13752 | The fashion of the world, What is that? |
A13752 | The first is this, you know life it consists in the union of a man, with the principle of life? |
A13752 | The fourth and the last, is the wofull disadvantage by such an exchange, What is a man profited? |
A13752 | The fourth difficultie was, when the workes follow the dead? |
A13752 | The health thou hast had: how hast thou spent thy strength and thy health? |
A13752 | The intention of their desire, In this wee groane,& c. That wee are strangers, doe not the sacred Oracles declare? |
A13752 | The life simply considered, is the subject of the Apostles question, What is your life? |
A13752 | The like speech you have ordinarily in the mouthes of persons; Is there any affliction like mine? |
A13752 | The next question is, what sinne the Apostle speakes of, when he saith, the sting of death is sinne? |
A13752 | The question is, what a man resolveth upon in this? |
A13752 | The reason he did sinke was feare, and why did hee feare? |
A13752 | The second thing remaineth, and that is, why the holy Ghost expresseth Gods proceedings, by way of reckoning, or calling to an account? |
A13752 | The soules under the Altar, they crie, How long Lord, holy and just, wilt thou not revenge our bloud upon them that are upon the earth? |
A13752 | The third Question is, in what respect Sin is the sting of Death? |
A13752 | The third difficultie was, whither the workes follow the dead? |
A13752 | The well is deepe, where is the bucket? |
A13752 | Then it teacheth us first, not to busie our selves in judging one another, why? |
A13752 | There be onely two things, that I shall observe in the whole words? |
A13752 | Therefore examine whether dost thou find spirituall life wrought in thy whole soule or no? |
A13752 | Therefore how should this teach us circumspect walking? |
A13752 | Therefore the Apostle Paul telleth us of a certaine sting it hath, Oh Death where is thy sting? |
A13752 | Therefore the Apostle Saint Paul when he would stirre up Timothy to the worke of the Ministrie, what is the Argument that hee useth? |
A13752 | Therefore the Apostle saith, Death can not separate from the love of God in Christ; What shall then? |
A13752 | Therefore what reason is there that Parents should call their sinnes to remembrance, in the miseries that befall their children? |
A13752 | Therefore yee have God himselfe set as a patterne of Patience: Follow God as deare children; wherein? |
A13752 | Therefore( saith the Apostle) I desire to be dissolved, and to bee with Christ, and this( quoth hee) it is melius, it is better: Better? |
A13752 | Therefore, saith the Church, Why is the living man sorrowfull? |
A13752 | They would not receive him, saith the Text; Why? |
A13752 | Thirdly, and lastly, consider your actions, consider your conversation; doth sinne get strength, or is it weakened? |
A13752 | Thirdly, it must bee so; or else if both these were not, and in this order wrought: what difficultie were there in the life of a Christian? |
A13752 | Thirdly, know that Gods delayes are never long: at the longest they are but for a short time: what if he delay a yeare? |
A13752 | Thirdly, where is this long home? |
A13752 | Thirdly, who they are that must arise out of sleepe? |
A13752 | This Faith in Christ the Law doth not teach, the former Covenant would not accept: What? |
A13752 | This course God himselfe tooke with Adam called him to account for his cariage in the garden: Adam( saith he) where art thou? |
A13752 | This is a hard saying, who can beare it? |
A13752 | This is the dutie of Christians, and are not they Strangers? |
A13752 | This is the way to bring ill upon them, when men will needs bee miserable is it not just with God they should? |
A13752 | This must be bought; but what must we give for it? |
A13752 | This was the case of old Eli, a good man, yet neverthelesse the hand of God was gone out against his house and familie, and what was the reason of it? |
A13752 | This will be the reckoning of fooles at the last, What hath pride profited us? |
A13752 | Thou child of the divell and enemy to all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to pervent the right wayes of God? |
A13752 | Thou foole, this night may thy soule bee taken away, and whose possessions shall then thy carefull and only gettings bee? |
A13752 | Thou foole, this night thy soule shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? |
A13752 | Thou foole, this night thy soule shall bee taken from thee; then whose shall those things bee, that thou hast provided? |
A13752 | Thou hast so many thousands, What hast thou done out of this to releeve the poore? |
A13752 | Thou hopest so? |
A13752 | Thou that hopest, thou shalt never see Death; come answer God in thy conscience: dost thou keepe the saying of Christ or no? |
A13752 | Thou unrighteous person that wilt not sanctifie the Lords day, how darest thou give up that unholy soule of thine to the holy God? |
A13752 | Thus you have his first answer to those scoffers, that said, Where is the promise of his comming? |
A13752 | To judgement, what is that? |
A13752 | To looke on Christ in one office, and to thinke to bee saved onely by that without concurring, and concomitating in the other offices? |
A13752 | To the body of man, how doth it weaken and contract the Spirits? |

A13752 | Was Constantine an Emperour? |
A13752 | Was David a King? |
A13752 | Was Iacob rich? |
A13752 | Was his griefe so aggravated, as hee could not still behold her face? |
A13752 | Was it love to the soules of his brethren, that hee would not have them damned? |
A13752 | Was it thinke yee? |
A13752 | Was this a matter for David so much to grieve, and to be troubled at? |
A13752 | Well then, wouldest thou prepare for Death? |
A13752 | Well yet I know( saith Solomon) that it shall not goe well with them in the end, neither shall the wicked prolong his dayes; Why? |
A13752 | Well, what of this? |
A13752 | Well, what will the Lord doe? |
A13752 | Well; what of this? |

A41017 | ( God saith it is no more) wilt thou account that thy voyage is yet scarcely begun? |

A41017 | ( brethren) Grovel still on the earth? |
A41017 | ( faith David) how long Lord, how long? |
A41017 | ( right Jobs Wife, as she speaks to him) wilt thou still retain thy trust? |
A41017 | 1 Passively, where is thy sting? |
A41017 | 107. what is the reason of this? |
A41017 | 2 Actively, where is thy sting? |
A41017 | A body hast thou prepared for me,( saith he in the Psalm) why? |
A41017 | A great matter of terrour to wicked men, that this Judge shall be the great God: for who is able to stand before him, when he is angry? |
A41017 | A great wrath, what is that? |
A41017 | A man is afraid he shall lose his children, or his Friends; what is the reason? |
A41017 | A man is afraid of Death, why? |
A41017 | A man should therefore strive to check himself, and to suffer others to check him, Why is it thus? |
A41017 | A man that expects the coming of a King to his house: will he therefore be secure, and do nothing because he knows certainly that the King will come? |
A41017 | A man will avoid an infections disease, that is mortall and deadly, and pestilential, and the like; Why? |
A41017 | A poor child that is new born, and hath nothing that discovereth reason almost, but the shape of a man? |
A41017 | A prisoner in the Lord, what is that? |
A41017 | A third Quaerie is, Whether Saint Paul spake all this, as out of a self- confidence, without having an eye to Gods Divine assistance therein? |
A41017 | A wicked eye is supposed to a single eye: a double eye is a wicked eye: What is a single eye? |
A41017 | Abraham is alive, why so? |
A41017 | Again secondly; Doth God do it to strengthen faith in a man? |
A41017 | Again somtimes this work of Judging is appropriated to the Saints: Know yee not that the Saints shall judg the world? |
A41017 | Again, Secondly, thou maist know it by the newness of thy life: whether dost thou feel a spiritual life wrought in thee? |
A41017 | Again, come to your assections, what is it you delight in? |
A41017 | Again, dost thou see the Children of God full of temptations, full of fears and disquietnesse of spirit in their death? |
A41017 | Again, doth the Divel terrifie thee? |
A41017 | Again, doth this spiritual life appear outwardly also by thy speeches and actions? |
A41017 | Again, hath God caused the light of his countenance to shine upon thy heart? |
A41017 | Again, how little comfort, nay how little have you company with those friends you desire? |
A41017 | Again, in regard of the evils of the world, they are enemies too: but how? |
A41017 | Again, is there a change in thy outward actions? |
A41017 | Again, thou maist know it by thy progress in thy vivification: Dost thou grow in grace daily? |
A41017 | Again, when you do look on it, do you look upon it as a ruler, or as an enemy? |
A41017 | Again, you lose no necessary convenience neither, the rich man loseth no riches by death; he loseth his money, doth he lose his riches therefore? |
A41017 | Againe, do not men feare those outward actions which expose them to the censure of men on earth, and unto punishment here? |
A41017 | Againe, hath GOD given thee any strength over temptations? |
A41017 | Ah poor spirited men, what can be sharp or hard unto us, who have learned to despise death it self? |
A41017 | Ala ● … is it a small matter thus to slight the Law of God? |
A41017 | Alas how little, what a small or no agreement is between them? |
A41017 | Alas what shall become of a world of men and women? |
A41017 | Alas( beloved) are these times to pride up our selves in vanity? |
A41017 | Alas, durst men go on without repentance in any course of sin, if they took themselves as condemned men( in truth) by vertue of the Law? |
A41017 | Alas, had not the people of Israel the Ark? |
A41017 | Alas, what are the goods of this life, when they are compared with eternal damnation? |
A41017 | Alas, what shall the little shrubs in the Wilderness do, when the tall Cedars of heaven shall be shaken? |
A41017 | All sorrow, and grief of heart, and disquiet of spirit, that ariseth from terrour of conscience, are they not hence, because of sin? |
A41017 | Am I a God at hand( saith the Lord) and not a God a far off? |
A41017 | Am I impatient and repine at that? |
A41017 | Am not I happy? |
A41017 | An argument ab utili, is an argument of great prevail: what will not men do for Profit? |
A41017 | And O wretched wight, saith Saint Austin, how hast thou deserved so much ill of thy self, as among all thy goods, to be only thy self bad? |
A41017 | And be said, What shall I cry? |
A41017 | And death is reckoned amongst the special favours and priviledges Christ hath given to his Church; All are yours, what all? |
A41017 | And dost thou not joy to think of this coming? |
A41017 | And dost thou not look with patience? |
A41017 | And have we not cause to bewail the general security that is amongst us? |
A41017 | And he said, while the Child was yet alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, who can tell whether God will be gracious to me that the Child may live? |
A41017 | And he said, while the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said who can tell, whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? |
A41017 | And how is that? |
A41017 | And how is the charge? |
A41017 | And how is this expressed by life? |
A41017 | And how many divine Histories have been turned into fables, when things have been delivered by tradition from hand to hand, and from man to man? |
A41017 | And how should our thoughts alwaies flie up to God, since there is nothing but rottenness and putrifaction found here in the world? |
A41017 | And how there? |
A41017 | And if any Examples have this force, have not these much more? |
A41017 | And if any prompted by Judas shall object against this Solemnity and prolixe ceremony, ut quid perdetio ista? |
A41017 | And if they be all so unconstant, what a fool art thou to set thy heart upon them? |
A41017 | And if ye say; but who is there that doth not expect the second coming of Christ? |
A41017 | And in regard of Death, why should we fear that? |
A41017 | And is it not an excellent thing for a man to have nothing to do with Death when it cometh? |
A41017 | And is it not yet time to cease? |
A41017 | And is this a sign of security? |
A41017 | And let the Lords Marriners come to them, and say, Up sleeper, call upon thy God; why dost thou not do thy first works? |
A41017 | And may not we as well as they that lived in the Ages before us, for we see no appearance of his coming, no more then was many hundred years since? |
A41017 | And shall death separate us from that we hope for? |
A41017 | And shall we say that we are not asleep? |
A41017 | And so to receive Christ as a King, would you know what a King he is? |
A41017 | And the Philosopher who being demanded whether the living or the dead were more in number? |
A41017 | And the Princes Court have a Ziba? |
A41017 | And the reason of this action and carriage, for I said, Who ● … a ● … tell whether the Lord will be gracious to me that the child may live? |
A41017 | And then God shall say; Were these the things I give you time for? |
A41017 | And then lastly, the woful bargain in such an exchange, What is a man profited? |
A41017 | And then the Petition followeth, Give me, because I will not take it of my own head: Give me, What? |
A41017 | And then what follows? |
A41017 | And to conclude, above all let us encourage our selves, by the fruit and recompence of all this expectation; what is that? |
A41017 | And what Death is meant here? |
A41017 | And what can be more desired? |
A41017 | And what can we expect there wants? |
A41017 | And what doth he mean by death? |
A41017 | And what is a man profited, if he gain the world, and lose his own soul? |
A41017 | And what is he at the best? |
A41017 | And what so sweet a sight once to blessed Abraham, as Sarah? |
A41017 | And what was her care? |
A41017 | And what wisdome did he wish, he might apply his heart unto? |
A41017 | And when the Scripture calleth them vanity, what doth it mean, but that they are empty things? |
A41017 | And when they can not but know them, how do they labour for distinction? |
A41017 | And where doth God teach, but in the Scripture? |
A41017 | And which of us is there that doth not arm Death with that sting? |
A41017 | And why should we think that there should come any alteration after, more then before? |
A41017 | And why? |
A41017 | And will you lose your souls for that that is nothing? |
A41017 | And, who is there here almost that suffereth not a loss in her? |
A41017 | Another faith, what shall I do when I am old, and can not take pains for my living? |
A41017 | Are all men Gods Stewards? |
A41017 | Are not these the objects of reproach, and contempt amongst an unrighteous generation? |
A41017 | Are not these they that support the land by their prayers, and hold up all by their standing in the gap? |
A41017 | Are not they strangers that are not capable of honours, of possessions in the place wherein they live, as being not free Denizens of the place? |
A41017 | Are not they strangers that are out of their proper place? |
A41017 | Are not they strangers that have double Impost, and double customes, and the greatest taxations laid upon them? |
A41017 | Are not they strangers, that have different lawes, and divers customs, and another Prince to rule and command them? |
A41017 | Are our dayes to come to be numbred? |
A41017 | Are these times to run after the sensual, and sinful courses of an ungodly generation? |
A41017 | Are we able to stand before God, when he is angry with us? |
A41017 | Are we commanded to have an eye to the time that is yet to come? |
A41017 | Are you careful to do good, to persevere in the practise of godliness, because he that shall come, will come, and will not tarry? |
A41017 | Are you careful to let fall worldly affections, because you have a comfortable apprenension of heavenly joyes? |
A41017 | Are you careful to turn your course from sin, because you would not lie open to the judgement of condemnation? |
A41017 | As Phocion said to one, that by the same sentence of the Judges was to die with him; Art thou not glad to fare as Phocion doth? |
A41017 | As Saint Jerome speaks to Paula mourning for her daughter; Art thou angry Paula, because I have made thy child mine? |
A41017 | As he desired all vain pomp and oftentation should be laid aside at his funerals;( For what have I done, said he, that I should deserve it?) |
A41017 | As if he should say, There is a time coming when Crowns shall be given: but to whome? |
A41017 | As if he should say; What a bold part? |
A41017 | As if he should say? |
A41017 | As the Church speaks in the Lamentations; Consider all that pass by, is there any affliction like my affliction, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me? |
A41017 | Being asked what evidences she had for her salvation? |
A41017 | Beloved, how could we answer to these things? |
A41017 | Bildad in Job, calleth it the King of terrours, What doth Death bring with it to make it fearful? |
A41017 | Blessed are they that die in the Lord, for they rest from their labours: and who would not die here, that he may dwell with God there in rest? |
A41017 | Blessed is the man that judgeth wisely of the poor, why so? |
A41017 | Brethren, is it not thus? |
A41017 | But God deserreth the promise of his coming? |
A41017 | But I hope, you have been at prayer in your family, have you not? |
A41017 | But Saint Peter answers these scoffers that asked, Where is the promise of his coming? |
A41017 | But again secondly, if you make a peaceable death to be the reward of the Righteous, what say you to this? |
A41017 | But alas what shall I say? |
A41017 | But alas, you will say, if he be so great a God, so glorious; how shall such a poor wretch as I, stand before him? |
A41017 | But do we not read that immediatly before the seventy years captivity, there were more Prophets then in many years before? |
A41017 | But happily thou maist say, how shall I know that the day of Death, is the day of dissolution, and this kind of dismission? |
A41017 | But here is the thing: What is the bent of thy heart? |
A41017 | But here it may be objected( for the clearing of the point) May not a Christian seek himself, in the things that he doth? |
A41017 | But here it will be demanded, how came he to behold a righteous man? |
A41017 | But here perhaps some may ask why eternal life should not be the wages of righteousness, as well as death the wages of sin? |
A41017 | But here this question may be demanded: but by what means now doth Christ convey this spiritual life to his children? |
A41017 | But here this question may be demanded; but is not this Resurrection of the body, a benefit common to the wicked? |
A41017 | But how are works in this sence said to follow the dead? |
A41017 | But how cometh it to pass hat it is not thus? |
A41017 | But how cometh it to passe that there is so little regard of God? |
A41017 | But how could you have been acquainted with their faith, if you had not heard of their clothing? |
A41017 | But how did Jobs Patience appear in the Afflictions, in the changes of his life? |
A41017 | But how did he live? |
A41017 | But how doth a man make afflictions worse? |
A41017 | But how many of those promises, as well as those other purposes, come to nothing? |
A41017 | But how shall I come to have interest in God? |
A41017 | But how shall I know whether Death when he cometh, shall find a sting in me or no? |
A41017 | But how shall a man in such actions of mercy, and bounty, and liberality, make it appear that he doth good? |
A41017 | But how shall we come to be awakened? |
A41017 | But how shall we come to heaven? |
A41017 | But how shall we do this? |
A41017 | But how then come little children to die before they have committed any sin actually? |
A41017 | But if there be good evidences of a Saint translated to glory, shall we mourn as men without hope? |
A41017 | But if this be so, what shall we say to further misery? |
A41017 | But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast: Can I bring him back again? |
A41017 | But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? |
A41017 | But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? |
A41017 | But now, he is dead, wherefore should I fast? |
A41017 | But of whom? |
A41017 | But some will say, by what instrument will he destroy the world? |
A41017 | But some will say, these Examples were after Davids time, What were these to him? |
A41017 | But that man that lives by faith is without fear; As Peter when he began to sink, faith Christ, Why dost thou fear? |
A41017 | But the next word is, Looking for what? |
A41017 | But then again beside that conversation we have with beleevers, there are many men in the world that expect certaine duties from us? |
A41017 | But then how terrible is Death when it cometh in a compleate Armour, as it doth against a person in whom Sin remaineth in its full power? |
A41017 | But then if the dead be blessed, why do we not die, that we may be blessed? |
A41017 | But there being divers kinds of death, which of them is here meant? |
A41017 | But there shall be no such thing here: God is the Judg of all the earth, and shall not he do right? |
A41017 | But they might say, vertue, that is that that guideth a man in all Morrals, in all the course of his life and conversation? |
A41017 | But this is also limited, it shall be destroyed, to whom? |
A41017 | But this is the occasion of trouble to Christians? |
A41017 | But to the wicked, saith God, what hast thou to do, to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenants in thy mouth? |
A41017 | But to whom? |
A41017 | But was it past? |
A41017 | But was there not a cause, when through the sides of David she struck at all true devotion? |
A41017 | But we have many discouragements to good? |
A41017 | But what are these blessed fruits, what is the profit accruing to the soul of the people of God by this means? |
A41017 | But what comfort have we in the mean time, if Death be not destroyed till then? |
A41017 | But what comfortable thing is this, that here Saint John is commanded to write? |
A41017 | But what course then shall we take, that we may finish our course with joy? |
A41017 | But what hath the righteous done? |
A41017 | But what if he do not? |
A41017 | But what if temporal judgments and afflictions befall them, is this for their own sin, or for the sin of their Parents? |
A41017 | But what of this? |
A41017 | But what though you should have both temperance and Patience, these are but moral vertues? |
A41017 | But what was his behaviour under all these? |
A41017 | But what? |
A41017 | But what? |
A41017 | But when I have done so much for thy sake, shall it be lost? |
A41017 | But when is a man fit for death? |
A41017 | But when will Christ do this? |
A41017 | But when will this be? |
A41017 | But where faith the Spirtt so? |
A41017 | But where is the man that takes these things to heart? |
A41017 | But where is the man that yet gets out of the bed of security, that cometh out of his sleep to meet the Lord? |
A41017 | But wherefore have we spoken all this? |
A41017 | But who are blessed then? |
A41017 | But who are they that sleep? |
A41017 | But why do you speak these words they seem strange to us? |
A41017 | But why with thou trust in a thing of nothing? |
A41017 | But wouldest thou have the sting of death pulled out before death come? |
A41017 | But ye will say; Is this the property of the Elect and faithful? |
A41017 | But yet are not these as Lillies among Thorns? |
A41017 | But you will say, how is it possible? |
A41017 | But you will say, indeed there are mansions, but there are abundance to receive them, what shall we do? |
A41017 | But( quoth he) whom else dost thou think haypy? |
A41017 | But, how can this be? |
A41017 | By the Apostles leave we may be bold to quit another question with him, what the Apostle means to express it thus? |
A41017 | By way of detestation in the first verse, and part of the second, What shall we say then, shall we continue in sin that Grace may abound? |
A41017 | Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will hear thee and deliver thee, and what shalt thou do? |
A41017 | Can I bring him back again? |
A41017 | Can a man hide himself from God in any secret place? |
A41017 | Can there be a greater stupidity, then to make a man die twice? |
A41017 | Can we read of the mourning of Joseph, of Hannah, of Job, of Jeremy, of Jerusalem and not be moved? |
A41017 | Can you get any thing by it? |
A41017 | Carnal Joy: will you know what the event of it will be? |
A41017 | Certainly, we have cleansed our hearts in vain; in vain we have washed our hands in innocency: in vain we labour to live godly lives; Why? |
A41017 | Come from praying to hearing the Word preached; how can a man hear the word profitably without Patience? |
A41017 | Come they not hence, even of your Lusts, that Warre in your Members? |
A41017 | Come to another, that hath a wise: all his care is for her: oh my wife and children, if I should die, and leave them poor, what should I do? |
A41017 | Come to men in their shops, and dealings, and see them dead in their worldliness, and covetousness; and shall we say they are alive to God? |
A41017 | Come ye blessed,& c. For what you have done to these you have done to me, he is in heaven; and so Saul, why dost thou persecute me? |
A41017 | Could God at the first draw all things out of nothing, and can not God as well bring together all again, when they are turned to nothing? |
A41017 | Could he make that body of thine out of the dust of the earth, and can not he raise that body, when it is turned to dust? |
A41017 | Could he only as in the case of the harlots, call for a sword to kill a child, and not call for it to defend a righteous man? |
A41017 | Could he see it, and could he suffer it, and be only an idle spectator at so sad a tragedy? |
A41017 | Could he unite that body to the soul in the time of the Creation, and can not he unite it at the time of the Resurrection? |
A41017 | Cressus the Lybian( a man happy in his great achievements) asked Solon; Pray( quoth he) tell me, what man dost thou think happy? |
A41017 | David cries out, he roared for the disquietness of his spirit, his bones were broken, he was sore vexed, Lord how long? |
A41017 | David took this course at other times, Why art thou cast down, oh my soul, why art thon disquicted within me? |
A41017 | David, we see checks himself, he had a curb to bridle his passions; Why art thou cast downe, oh my soule? |

A41017 | Did God give only one Table? |

A41017 | Did not he acknowledge that few and evil were the dayes of his pilgrimage? |
A41017 | Did not he that was a man after Gods own heart, that had a special promise that his house should continue for ever? |
A41017 | Did the people reform? |
A41017 | Dives he lived a voluptuous life, had he not a sting for it? |

A41017 | Do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? |
A41017 | Do not these demonstrate that it is lawful to desire death? |
A41017 | Do not ungodly men and sinners believe the coming of Christ, and that he shall come to judge the quick and the dead? |

A41017 | Do you think I lay any great weight upon all this? |
A41017 | Do you think the Lord speaks not as he meaneth? |
A41017 | Doe we not think he would mourn to save his life? |

A41017 | For judgement? |
A41017 | For the evils of the world: Why should we fear them? |
A41017 | For the first of these, what is meant by sleep? |
A41017 | For the other two, you will say, if they be none of mine, why do I meddle with them? |
A41017 | For unless the dead should arise, how can Death be destroyed? |
A41017 | For what is a man profited if he gain the whole world, and lose his soul? |
A41017 | For what is that incommunicable glory that God will not give to another, but this, to make himself his end? |
A41017 | For what is there in all the World that can comfort a man indeed besides this, much less compared with this? |
A41017 | For what is your Life? |

A41017 | In what place hath she lived, and hath not left a savour behind her? |
A41017 | Indeed all the comfort that the soul is capable of is this, that the sting of death is took away? |
A41017 | Ionah, when the Lord challenged him for his anger, Dost thou well to be angry? |
A41017 | Is Death thus discharged, hath Christ changed the nature of Death, and freed all his Members from the sting of the temporal and fear of eternal death? |

A41017 | Lord, what is man, that thou art mindful of him, or settest thy heart upon him? |

A41017 | Morior? |
A41017 | Morte nihil certius, As sure as Death, is an ordinary Proverb; What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? |
A41017 | Much more ought it to be so here in this heavenly contract between Christ and his faithful Spouse: should not hear the Spouse be sick of love? |
A41017 | Must young men be careful to chase away all carnal joy, and to get spiritual joy, that beginneth in godly sorrow? |

A41017 | No he offered up his Isaac; as if the Text had expressed Ahrahams language thus; O Lord my God, what is it that thou callest for? |
A41017 | No such matter; What then? |
A41017 | Not at all? |
A41017 | Not the most? |
A41017 | Now I may say with that Father, what shall he do when he comes to Judge, that was able to do thus, when he was to be judged? |
A41017 | Now I say when such wrong and injury is done to God, shall not God take a time to right himself of those that injure him? |
A41017 | Now I say, is not Christs glory a whit diminished in his abasement? |
A41017 | Now a worldly man doth the duty too: but how? |
A41017 | Now alas how unfit is a sleepy man, either to expect, or to repel an enemy? |

A41017 | Now we know what the sting is, let us enquire where it is? |
A41017 | Now what are the Graces? |
A41017 | Now what doth Abraham do? |
A41017 | Now what is it to die in Christ in a large sense? |
A41017 | Now, What is it to be in this, as if he had no wife? |
A41017 | Now, as it is in this case with a tree; will you know when it is dead? |
A41017 | Now, what have ye done( beloved) to disarme death? |
A41017 | O Death where is thy sting? |
A41017 | O Death, where is thy sting? |
A41017 | O Grave where is thy victory? |
A41017 | O Grave where is thy victory? |
A41017 | O Grave, where is thy victory? |
A41017 | O Hell, where is thy victory? |
A41017 | O death where is thy sting? |
A41017 | Observe, Moses having spoken of the wrath of God in the foregoing verse, Who knoweth the power of thine anger? |
A41017 | Of Death in the first sense, David demandeth who is he that liveth, and shall not see death, and shall he deliver his soul from the hand of hell? |
A41017 | Of any other Life but this, we may ask the question in the words of the Apostle, What is it? |
A41017 | Of comfort( may some say) that is impossible to arise naturally from this Text, can meat come from the devourers, can any good come out of a Gallilee? |
A41017 | Oh Absolom, my son, my sow,& c. What great reason had he for this? |
A41017 | Oh but Death is disarmed, the sting of it is taken away, what a singular comfort is it then to you that Death is coming? |
A41017 | Oh grave where is thy victory? |
A41017 | Oh my beloved, what are all our afflictions? |
A41017 | Oh that we had learned this excellent lesson, that the Apostle teacheth the Corinths here, what wondrous happy people should we be? |
A41017 | Oh what shall I do then to secure my self from the great, from the strong, arme of death? |
A41017 | Oh who can dwell with devouring fire? |
A41017 | Oh why do not we make our eyes as fountains to bewayle our sins? |
A41017 | Oh( saith Abner to Joab) knowest thou not, that this will be bitterness in the end? |
A41017 | Oh, faith the Apostle, what reason have you to build on to day, and to morrow, when ye know not what a day will bring forth? |
A41017 | On the other side: what is the reason why infidelity doth presently bring judgements upon men? |
A41017 | One faith Lord, what would become of me if I should loose my wife? |
A41017 | Or as that great King said to Nehemiah, Why is thy countenance sad? |
A41017 | Or what will you do: will you be as idle and careless, as negligent and slothful in making after these graces as before? |
A41017 | Our best dayes first run, and our worst at the last: And shall we offer that indignity to the Divine Majesty, as to offer him the Devils leavings? |
A41017 | Our grace? |
A41017 | Perishing is one step beyond death? |
A41017 | Quantum valent tres syllabae, Peccavi? |
A41017 | Quid regnatores patuerit,& c. what shall he do when he comes to reign, that was able to do thus, when he was to die? |

A41017 | Saint Paul ubi stimulus tuus 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, O death where is thy sting? |
A41017 | Saith Nabal: shall I take my bread, and my drink, and give it to a man that I know not? |
A41017 | Salvation is brought: to whom? |
A41017 | Say within your selves: How long Lord, am I like to continue below? |
A41017 | Secondly, How infants, who never committed actual sin, are subject to death; and which is more, to damnation it self? |
A41017 | Secondly, great tryals for great Christians, because who is more able to sustain grear tryals then great Christians? |
A41017 | Secondly, hath Christ destroyed Death, and hath he both the keyes of Death and of Hell? |
A41017 | Secondly, here is Davids piety expressed in this, Who knoweth whether the Lord will be gracious to me? |
A41017 | Secondly, it is altogether bootless and needless; Can I bring him back again? |
A41017 | See the differences between two persons, the one is afraid of every one he meeteth, the other is not, what is the reason? |
A41017 | See what the end of it was; Thou fool( saith the Lord) this night they shall fetch away thy soul, and then whose shall these things be? |
A41017 | See, here is a faithful, a hopeful man, and yet doth not die patiently: what would the Father say? |
A41017 | See, is not the Land as secure as they of Laish, or worse? |
A41017 | Seeing all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness? |
A41017 | Shall I go on in this vanity? |
A41017 | Shall I think of that which torments and afflicts my Spirit, and causeth sadness and pensiveness of mind? |
A41017 | Shall a Traytour presume on the Kings favour, and Mordecai be out of the Kings grace? |
A41017 | Shall a man be afraid of his own good? |
A41017 | Shall a man be saved by a half Faith, by a peece of Faith? |
A41017 | Shall she want a memorial? |
A41017 | Shall the Scripture say that he perisheth, whose name is in the bundle of life, written in heaven? |
A41017 | Shall the beasts of the forrests be afraid of the Lyon, more then the poor worms of the earth, of the mighty God of heaven and earth? |
A41017 | Shall theeves and burglaries watch at mid- night to break the house, and cut mens throats, and wilt not thou watch to save thy self? |
A41017 | Shall they wait, and earnestly desire the first coming of the Son of God in humility, and humanity and baseness? |
A41017 | Shall this be your practice when you come home? |
A41017 | Shall we come to the trial? |
A41017 | Shall we do the contrary to all this, and yet think that all will be well? |
A41017 | Shall we fear those sins that we are humbled for, and which God hath made as if they had never been? |
A41017 | Shall we say we are not in danger? |
A41017 | Shall we think that they have this expectation? |
A41017 | She dwelt among you: who is he that can speak ill of her? |
A41017 | So Job meaneth, when he speaks in the same manner, If a man die, shall he live again? |
A41017 | So Peter denied his Master out of fear; What is the reason that a Minister doth not sometimes reprove sin? |
A41017 | So are we not glad to fare as the holy Patriarks, Prophets, and Apostles have done, and to go after them? |
A41017 | So at the end of the world, it is said, that those that are alive shall be caught up and changed, in the twinckling of an eye? |
A41017 | So for the manner of doing holy duties Would you be found praying pefunctorily, and carelesly? |
A41017 | So how can a Christian exercise himself in the actions of his general Calling, when he sleeps? |
A41017 | So if men would put the question to themselves concerning their affections: as, concerning love, why do I set my heart upon such and such things? |
A41017 | So in another place the same Apostle, when he would take men off from judging, saith he, Judg nothing before the time: Why? |
A41017 | So likewise Josiah, when he read the book of the Law, and saw what was threatned against the sins of the people, his heart melted within him: and why? |
A41017 | So likewise here, is it possible that there should be righteousness toward God, when there is not mercy toward men? |
A41017 | So likewise worldly business, when a man loveth much employment, much business, he can not abide to think of death, Why so? |
A41017 | So others in Scripture, did not their plentiful tables, and voluptuous courses bring a sting on them? |
A41017 | So remember that thou in thy life time haddest riches, but how didst thou imploy them? |
A41017 | So take a spiritual man; what is the reason he delights in spiritual things? |
A41017 | So the Apostle makes the argument, He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? |
A41017 | So the Prophet Jeremy telleth Baruch in the captivity, Seekest thou great things for thy selfe? |
A41017 | So then the ground is this, that man that hath no enemies; that man that can not possibly be molested with any evil, what need he fear? |
A41017 | So then, wouldest thou have peace in death? |
A41017 | So think with your selves, If I can not endure a little, how shall I endure more? |
A41017 | So, how will you take away the sting of death? |
A41017 | Some bark at his Provedence, as if he perceived not these things; How doth God know, and is there knowledge in the most high? |
A41017 | Sometimes so overcome with the violence of the disease, as that( it may be) they speak impertinently and idely, it may be sinfully? |
A41017 | Soul, soul( faith he) take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry: and why so? |
A41017 | Stretch out the duty of Patience then; hast thou waited a week? |
A41017 | Such as makes thee cry to him for power and strength? |
A41017 | Suppose it be Prayer; How can a man goe on in the duty of prayer without Patience? |
A41017 | Suppose now, a man comes and meets with a Citizen in his business, and say to him; How have you spent this day? |
A41017 | Tell me, when thou findest those corruptions whereof, and for which thou speakest against thy self, Dost thou allow them or not? |
A41017 | That escaped the pestilence, that they should fall by the sword, by the hand of Nebuchadnezar: Why so? |
A41017 | That say to the Gold, thou art my God; and to honour, thou art my glory? |
A41017 | That servant that saith in his heart, my Master deferreth his coming, and therefore he eats, and drinks with the drunken: what is the issue of it? |
A41017 | That you desire this heavenly temper, I doubt not, I should offer violence to Charity, the Queen of Graces, if I should think otherwise? |
A41017 | The Angel told Zachary that he should have joy and gladness at the birth of his son, why? |
A41017 | The Antecedent or Condition, is this; If in this life onely we have hope in Christ; What then? |
A41017 | The Apostles were troubled with these kind of scoffers; Where is the promise of his coming? |
A41017 | The Child- son cometh also, and what doth he bring with him? |
A41017 | The Life simply considered is the subject of the Apostles question, What is your life? |
A41017 | The Reason is, in regard there is the same maker of one, as of another; We have all one Father( saith the Prophet) and hath not one God created us? |
A41017 | The Saints of God in former ages 1600. years ago waited for Christs coming; but were they losers by it though he came not? |
A41017 | The faithful are said to endure as seeing him that is invisible: how do they endure? |
A41017 | The fashion of the world, What is that? |
A41017 | The first is this, you know life it consists in the union of a man, with the principle of life? |
A41017 | The first whereof is this; Whether Saint Paul did not, under this profession, boast in a kind of vaunting ostentation? |
A41017 | The fourth and the last, is the woful disadvantage by such an exchange, What is a man profited? |
A41017 | The fourth difficulty was, when the works follow the dead? |
A41017 | The fourth, and last Querie is, How Saint Paul came to know so assuredly, that there was a Crown of Righteousness laid up for him in Heaven? |
A41017 | The health thou hast had: how hast thou spent thy strength and thy health? |
A41017 | The intention of their desire, In this we grown,& c. That we are strangers, do not the sacred Oracles declare? |
A41017 | The like speech you have ordinarily in the mouths of persons; Is there any affliction like mine? |
A41017 | The next question is, what sin the Apostle speaks of, when he faith, the sting of death is sin? |
A41017 | The question is, what a man resolveth upon in this? |
A41017 | The reason he did sink was fear, and why did he fear? |
A41017 | The second thing remaineth, and that is, why the holy Ghost expresseth Gods proceedings, by way of reckoning, or calling to an account? |
A41017 | The souls under the Altar, they crie, How long Lord, holy and just, wilt thou not revenge our bloud upon them that are upon the earth? |
A41017 | The third Question is, in what respect Sin is the sting of Death? |
A41017 | The third difficulcy was, whither the works follow the dead? |
A41017 | The well is deep, where is the bucket? |
A41017 | The work of Gods spirit in the regenerate soul, it is but a creature, a work of God, and God will not have men trust in any such thing, in what then? |
A41017 | There be only two things, that I shall observe in the whole words? |
A41017 | There is nothing amiable but wisdome, and if we despise ber, what is there of this worlds good, whereon we many set our love and affection? |
A41017 | Therefore examine whether dost thou find spiritual life wrought in thy whole Soul, or no? |
A41017 | Therefore how should this teach us circumspect walking? |
A41017 | Therefore the Apostle Paul telleth us of a certain sting it hath, Oh death where is thy sting? |
A41017 | Therefore the Apostle Saint Paul when he would ● … ir up Timothy to the work of the Ministry, what is the Argument that he useth? |
A41017 | Therefore what reason is there that Parents should call their sins to remembrance, in the miseries that befall there children? |
A41017 | Therefore ye have God himself set as a pattern of Patience: Follow God as dear children; wherein? |
A41017 | Therefore( saith the Apostle) I desire to be dissolved, and to be with Christ, and this( quoth he) it is melius, it is better: Better? |
A41017 | Therefore, saith the Church, Why is the living man sorrowful? |
A41017 | They would not receive him, saith the Text; Why? |
