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?
A60608	( saith Salvian, speaking of Good men) they are pleased, and can approve their present fortune: Are they made contemptible?
A60608	* Cur duos Scipiones Poenus oppressit?
A60608	243 Reasons for it, why?
A60608	52 L. Learning 125 M. Miseries of Mankind represented 288 From God; why?
A60608	A company of poor outward things, so transient, so apt to change?
A60608	And Is there not( say they) the same Necessity for the one, as for the other, against the Atheist''s Pretentions?
A60608	And if so, then( I say) Can not Mankind in general be said to be subject to them, and afflicted by them, under the meer notion of Punishments?
A60608	And if so, what kind of certainty can such men presume upon to encourage them in this undertaking, for their own sufficient happiness in this World?
A60608	And in many cases are they not observ''d to meet even harder usages than those that be enormously vitious?
A60608	And now I appeal to any Theistical mind to tell me, Whence can all this be?
A60608	And then how is God concern''d in such fatal miscarriages?
A60608	And then, Do not the reason of the sad mention''d intolerable consequence recurr?
A60608	And then, Why may not we as reasonably have the same Thoughts of a Wise and Merciful GOD, as to the case in hand?
A60608	And upon the same account, comforting Martia, greatly afflicted for the Death of her Son, he could then say, Why run you to his Sepulchre?
A60608	And, What imperious Proprietors will their Children be apt to make themselves, in their decaying Parents Houses and Fortunes?
A60608	And, Wherefore boldest Thou thy tongue( saith the Other) when the Wicked devoureth the man that is more Righteous than he?
A60608	And, do they not pass along in their mortal Durations, with the same severe circumstances of natural Troubles, and sad Accidents, as other men?
A60608	Anne ipse privilegium impetravi ab invidia& avaritia, inexorabilibus tyrannis?
A60608	Are they not as afflictively sick, poor, and old?
A60608	Are they poor?
A60608	As when he saith,* Why did the Carthaginian oppress the two Scipio''s?
A60608	As, Why does the way of the Wicked prosper?
A60608	At si inutile ministeriis est corpus, quidni oporteat educere animunm laborantem?
A60608	Belief of a Deity 213 C. Conscience of Evils 16 Contemplation 143 Chiefest Good 406 Covetousness 115 D. Dead- Mens Future State conceal''d, and why?
A60608	But what saith the Heathen world to all this?
A60608	Can it give the Mind a Beatitude, without its own allowance or consent?
A60608	Cur Hannibal Marcellum interemit?
A60608	Cur iniquis potestatibus universa succumbunt?
A60608	Cur inter nos quoque sors bonorum durior, quam malorum?
A60608	Cur probi jacent, improbi convalescunt?
A60608	En quid amicum paro?
A60608	How much less than a man was he in the one, and how much more than an ordinary Saint in the other?
A60608	I say, Where things are thus insecure, What considering Mind can suggest a Reason of being Happy by any the greatest Enjoyments?
A60608	I say, when these various cases happen, What''s then become of that Reward, or that which is Tropically like it?
A60608	If he did believe it, with what Integrity could he so often express himself to the contrary?
A60608	If he did not believe it, Why did he deal so insincerely with Apollonius, as to put him upon such a delusive hope in his distress?
A60608	If there were no such thing as a Real Friendship in the world, what entertainment would a false, and a barely- pretended kindness obtain?
A60608	In short, Can that be a man''s sufficient Happiness, of whose enjoyment he can not be one hour secure?
A60608	Or did ever any skilful Person pretend to give any such infallible rules of it, as might be universally accommodable?
A60608	Or, Can the Mind have satisfaction, and be unsatisfy''d at the same time?
A60608	Pauperes sunt?
A60608	Proh dii immortales Quam obtabiliter iter illu ineundum, quam jucundur esse debet, quo confecto, nulla reliqua cura, nulla so licitudo futura sit?
A60608	Quae enim potest in vita esse jucunditas, quum dies& noctes cogitandum sit, jam jamque esse moriendum?
A60608	Quando Leoni Fortior cripuit vitam Leo?
A60608	Quid ergo expiationes, procurationes ▪ que, quo pertinent si immutabilia sunt Fata?
A60608	Quid homini inamicissimus?
A60608	Quid opus est partes deslere?
A60608	Quî fit, O Mecaenas, ut nemo quam sibisortem, Seu ratio dederit, seu fo rs objecerit, illâ Contentus vivat?
A60608	Retirement in order to a quiet Life: Can it secure a man from all the effects of contempt, the certain attendant of a design''d privacy?
A60608	Shall such obscure senses, that are so easily deceived?
A60608	Si totum quod in hoc mundo; est curae& gubernaculo& indicio Dei; Cur melior multo sit Barbarorum conditio, quam nostra?
A60608	They can despise Honour: Are they sorrowful?
A60608	They can rejoice in their Mourning: Are they infirm and sick?
A60608	This the last difficulty: but Why did GOD permit all this?
A60608	What Power can stem such a strong Tide?
A60608	What Science is it, that was ever yet believed by the judicious to be brought to any tolerable perfection?
A60608	What a Gratification and Pleasure would the thought of this be to every rational Enemy of Mankind?
A60608	What can be added more to compleat his misery?
A60608	What man can be certain of enjoying one hours Health more, or of Bread for another daies subsistence, or of his very Life for three moments to come?
A60608	What privilege can I claim against the devouring Tyranny of the Covetous, and the Envious( saith Neirembergius)?
A60608	What shall I say of the Cares and uneasy Affairs of the Rich and Great, to support an empty show in the world?
A60608	What shouldst thou desire, but a present Annihilation or Transition?
A60608	When shall he die, and his Name perish?
A60608	Who can without a passion behold how much a stranger a poor old Father and Mother are sometimes made to their own Estates and Circumstances?
A60608	Why did Hannibal prevail upon Marcellus and kill him?
A60608	Why do the Good meet a harder portion in this Life, than those that are Wicked?
A60608	and can any Argument be reasonably thence deduced, to bring the Truth of the Religion they abuse into question?
A60608	how sweet is that Journey,( speaking of Dying) which being ended, all cares and troubles shall be determined and finished?
A60608	in common Miseries as well as the Evil?
A60608	lugere gestiunt: In honori sunt?
A60608	or can a Box of writings or a Chest defend their Wealth from the harassings of War, and all other the common accidents of humane Life?
A60608	or how can a created moral Agent be so accounted either by God or Man upon such an omission?
A60608	or what influence had it upon their minds?
A60608	or, How comes it to pass that it should be so?
A60608	paupertati delectant: Lugent?
A60608	quo nemore unquam Expiravit Aper majoris dentibus Apri?
A60608	shall a little soul, that knows not it self?
A60608	shall a vain and empty Name and Glory?
A60608	the First?
A60608	wherefore are they happy, that deal Treacherously?
A69449	( faith one) I grace?
A69449	( saith he) then I am the most miserable creature under heaven; therefore as they said, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
A69449	( you may say) what?
A69449	Alas, we think too often to bring God to our bow, We have hoped thus long, and God hath not answered, and shall we wait still?
A69449	All this is but a mans self: Why so?
A69449	And doth David, a King, desire no more?
A69449	And for those that neglect the Means of their Salvation, how should we pity them?
A69449	And is not he the great God of Heaven and Earth, that hath been incensed against me?
A69449	And now let me prevail with your hearts, and work your souls to this duty, Love the Lord, all ye his Saints; whom will you love, if you love not him?
A69449	And now( me- thinks) your hearts begin to stir, and say, Hath the Lord engaged himself to this?
A69449	And thus the soul sinketh in it self, Will the Lord cast me off for ever, and will he shew no favor?
A69449	And why not now, Lord?
A69449	At this voyce the Sinner begins to see where he is: Is this true?
A69449	But some may object, Must the soul, or ought the soul to be thus content to be left in this damnable condition?
A69449	But( poor soul) art thou yet shut up in Unbelief?
A69449	Can not thy Hearing, and Praying, and Fasting, carry thee to heaven without hazard?
A69449	Do you hear?
A69449	Exhortations, Instructions, Admonitions and Reproofs that I have often had?
A69449	God may do it: And what if God should execute his vengeance upon me?
A69449	Hath the Lord offered mercy to me?
A69449	Have I gotten the Lord Jesus to be my comfort, my buckler and my shield?
A69449	Heaven to Earth, God to man?
A69449	Hell is too good, and ten thousand hells too little to torment such a wretch as I am: What, I mercy?
A69449	How many heavy journeys hath the Lord Jesus made to me?
A69449	How often hath he knock''d at my heart, and said, Come to me, ye rebellious children; turn ye, turn ye, why will ye dye?
A69449	I am ashamed to expect it; With what heart( I pray you) can I beg this Mercy, which I have trodden under my feet?
A69449	I have abused his Mercy, and can his Mercy pity me?
A69449	I have waited one, ten, twenty, thirty, forty years long have I waited on this generation; when will it once be?
A69449	I have wronged his Justice, and can his Justice pardon me?
A69449	I know such a soul humbled, and I see such a foul comforted, and why not I as well as he?
A69449	I pray you in cold blood consider this, and say, Good Lord, what a sinful wretch am I?
A69449	I said( saith David) this is my infirmity: the word in the Original is, This is my sickness; as who should say, What, is mercy gone for ever?
A69449	I that loved my sins, and continued in them, had it not been just that I should have perished in them?
A69449	I that slighted so many mercies, and committed so many follies, shall I be entertained?
A69449	Indeed I crave grace, but how do I think to receive any?
A69449	Is it because the good Spirit of the Lord is there?
A69449	Is it so( may every soul reason with it self) that I will not suffer the word to prevail with me?
A69449	Is it so, that the soul of a man is thus pierced to the quick, and run through by the wrath of the Almighty?
A69449	Is it so?
A69449	Is it thus?
A69449	Is not he that great God, whose Justice, and Mercy, and Patience I have abused?
A69449	Is there any Soul here that hath been vexed with the Temptations of Satan, oppositions of men, or with his own distempers?
A69449	Is there no cause thus to pray?
A69449	It is mercy I have despised and trampled under my feet, and I mercy?
A69449	It is true( saith the soul) Manasses was pardoned, Paul was converted, Gods Saints have been received to mercy, But can my sins be pardoned?
A69449	It was the Apostles question, Wilt thou now restore the Kingdom of Israel?
A69449	Labor to keep thy promises ever at hand: what is it to me if I have a thing in the house, if I have it not at my need?
A69449	Let every man put his love upon the trial, and examine thus, Whether doest thou welcome Christ and grace, according to the worth of them?
A69449	Let us see the Reasons that perswade you to these groundless foolish Hopes?
A69449	Look at Sin simply as it is in it self, what is it, but a profest opposing of God himself?
A69449	No( would he say) it is my Father I have offended, and will he now receive me?
A69449	Now mark what the Prophet saith to such a perplexed soul, Why sayest thou thy way is hid from the Lord?
A69449	O when will it once be?
A69449	O why not I( Lord?)
A69449	Observe the root and rise from whence thy love came, canst thou say, I love the Lord, because he hath loved me?
A69449	Oh, with what a face can I appear before him, and with what heart can I look for any mercy from him?
A69449	Or secondly, hast thou gotten faith?
A69449	Say you so?
A69449	Shall the Lord and his Messengers thus woo and intreat?
A69449	So the Word saith, He appointeth them that mourn in Sion, to give unto them beauty for ashes: will you have a Legacy of Joy, Mercy and Pity?
A69449	Some may say, this is all the difficult, How may I know whether my love be a true love, or a false love?
A69449	The Lord he complains, Why will ye dye?
A69449	The Lord now by us offers love to all you that are weary and have need, What answer shall I return to him in the evening?
A69449	The Lord thus travels in patience, looking when we will receive mercy, will never our proud hearts be humbled?
A69449	The Minister replyes again, The truth is, you have done thus, but would you do so now?
A69449	The Minister replyes, Truth it is, you have done thus, but would you do so still?
A69449	This is great encouragement to a poor sinner, he begins now to wonder, and say, Lord, shall all my sins be pardoned?
A69449	We demand, Is this your case?
A69449	We have been thus and thus, but if we rest here, it will be our ruine for ever, O what shall we do?
A69449	What can I say?
A69449	What if God should take away my life this night?
A69449	What if God will not pacifie my Conscience, doth the Lord do me any wrong?
A69449	What if a man had all the wealth and policy in the world, and wanted this?
A69449	What if there do?
A69449	What is that to me( saith the soul) to be rich and a reprobate?
A69449	What needs more?
A69449	What remains then?
A69449	What then, saith the Devil?
A69449	What then, saith the Devil?
A69449	What will the world say?
A69449	What, I Mercy?
A69449	What, I mercy?
A69449	What, such a wretch as I am?
A69449	What?
A69449	When, Lord?
A69449	Where are the tears that we make for the slain of our people?
A69449	Whether God work it in all alike?
A69449	Whether it be a work of saving grace?
A69449	Why do we value a Mine, but because of the gold in it?
A69449	Why not I, Lord?
A69449	Will this proud heart never be humbled?
A69449	Will you question his Commission?
A69449	Wouldst thou have life eternal?
A69449	Wouldst thou have riches?
A69449	Wouldst thou have strength?
A69449	Wouldst thou have wisdom?
A69449	Wouldst thou know whether thou art carnal or spiritual?
A69449	You will say, What are the means to obtain these graces from Christ?
A69449	You will say, if faith bring such ease, how may a man that hath faith, improve it to have such comfort by it?
A69449	a Christian and a Lyar?
A69449	a Christian and a Swearer?
A69449	and I comfort?
A69449	and a Son Lord?
A69449	and a pardon Lord?
A69449	and doth he require nothing of me but to love him again?
A69449	and have you thus longed for the riches of his Mercy in Christ?
A69449	and love Lord?
A69449	and so commit the sin against the holy Ghost?
A69449	and what is he, that I can not love him?
A69449	and why not my eorruptions subdued?
A69449	and will any yet stand out against God, and say, I will none of Christ, I will try it out to the last?
A69449	and would he now arm and fence himself, that nothing should disquiet him, or trouble him, but in all, to be above all, and to rejoyce in all?
A69449	are you thus humbled?
A69449	as I live, saith the Lord, I desire not the death of a sinner: Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye dye, ye sinful Sons of men?
A69449	but will the Lord not onely spare his enemy, but give his Son for him?
A69449	can my soul be quickned?
A69449	canst thou say, The Lord hath let in a glimpse of his favor?
A69449	do then as the Prisoners in New- gate, what lamentable cryes do they utter to every Passenger by?
A69449	honored and damned?
A69449	if a man should say, Go to your Father, he will give you a portion again; would he( think you) believe this?
A69449	in anguish of heart, who relieved you?
A69449	in wants, who supplied you?
A69449	is any thing too hard for the Lord?
A69449	is it good now to be drunk, or to blaspheme, or to rail on Gods Saints, or contemn Gods Ordinances?
A69449	is it thus and thus?
A69449	it is Mercy I have neglected, it is Salvation I have contemned, how then should I be saved?
A69449	may I be so bold to press in for favor at the hands of the Lord?
A69449	must God wait, or man wait?
A69449	or a Cabinet, but because of the Pearl in it?
A69449	or rather would you not now part with all these, and take mercy in stead of them?
A69449	shall I resist the good spirit of the Lord?
A69449	shall I talk of Mercy?
A69449	shall Majesty stoop to misery?
A69449	shall all my oathes and abominations be forgiven?
A69449	shall the King of Glory stand?
A69449	that a great Prince should send to a poor Peasant, that Majesty should stoop to means?
A69449	the Lord saith, Why sayest thou?
A69449	then let this teach all how to carry themselves towards such as God hath thus dealt withal: Are they pierced men?
A69449	then, even then this Christ have I slighted, and made nothing of his Blood; and can this blood of Christ do me now any service?
A69449	thou sayest, thou wouldst have a pardon, but wouldst thou not have riches?
A69449	what benefit in all the means of grace?
A69449	what man that hath writ more on this subject, then T. H?
A69449	what profits it a man to read?
A69449	what shall I say unto thee?
A69449	when will it once be?
A69449	when will it once be?
A69449	when will that day be, that I shall ever be with Christ, and be full of his fulness for ever?
A69449	who would not have the Lord Christ, by the glory of his Grace, to honor and refresh him?
A69449	why may not I be plagued?
A69449	why not my sins pardoned?
A69449	will Christ Jesus accept of me?
A69449	will Exhortations never prevail with me?
A69449	will Terrors and Reproofs never break my heart into pieces?
A69449	will never our prophane hearts be sanctified?
A69449	will never our stubborn hearts be softned?
A69449	will the Lord pardon me?
A69449	would you still blaspheme, and curse, and be drunk, and riotous?
A69449	wouldst thou have beauty?
A69449	you may lay them out here with good advantage: what would you love?
A69449	you say, You hope to be saved, and you hope to go to heaven, and you hope to see Gods face with comfort; and have you no grounds?
A69449	— Who would not have the Lord Jesus to dwell with him?
A44666	& rather expose a naked, placid, free body, to naked, placid, free air?
A44666	''T is an aversation of will; and who sees not that every man is more wicked, ac- according as his will is more wickedly bent?
A44666	''T is more distinct and clear, Faith is taking a thing upon report; Who hath believed ● ur report?
A44666	''T were good sometimes to consider with our selves, what''s the object of our hope?
A44666	A blessedness, consisting in the Vision, and Participation of the Divine Glory?
A44666	A calm, serene thing; perfectly homogeneous, void of contrariety, or any self- repugnant quality, how can it disquiet it self?
A44666	A promise would give thee a full certainty of the issue, if it were absolute out of hand?
A44666	After I began to live the Spiritual new life; how slow, and faint was my progress and tendency towards perfection?
A44666	Again, how little doth it weigh with us?
A44666	Again, is he simply independent, as being self- sufficient and all in all?
A44666	Again, is it righteous to deny the Lord that bought thee, to neglect that great salvation which he is the Authour of?
A44666	Again, what amazing Visions wilt thou have?
A44666	And art thou not ashamed that this should be thy usual temper, how much soever thou conceal it from the notice, and observation of the world?
A44666	And art thou not ashamed to pretend an agreement with God about the thing it self, and yet d ● ffer with him about a circumstance?
A44666	And art thou therefore resolved to shut thine eyes, and cry peace, peace?
A44666	And as much expect to be gratified as we?
A44666	And as to forbidden things, should we be so proud, so passionate, so earthly, so sensual, if we had God more in view?
A44666	And by sealing up our eyes against the divine light and glory, to confirm so formidable miseries upon our own souls?
A44666	And canst thou not consider, and reason the matter thus?
A44666	And do we know none that lead stricter, and more holy lives then we, that, are yet in the dark, and at a losse in judging their Spiritual states?
A44666	And do we not sensibly punish our selves in this neglect?
A44666	And do you lead that heavenly raised life?
A44666	And dost thou not without scruple believe many things of which thou never had''st so unquestionable evidence?
A44666	And doth it not argue a low, sordid Spirit ▪ not to desire and aim at the perfection thou art capable of?
A44666	And had we rather( if we were in danger of suffering on the Christian account) run a hazard, as to the latter, then adventure on the former?
A44666	And hath he not furnish''t thee with a self reflecting power, by which thou art inabled to look into thy self?
A44666	And hath not the eternal glory those characters upon it of purity, and loveliness beyond all things?
A44666	And have we not professedly, as a fruit of our avowed love to him, surrendred our selves?
A44666	And hence, Canst thou avoid considering, this is a distressed case?
A44666	And how inexpressible a condiscension is this?
A44666	And how long- liv''d dost thou think that peace shall be that thou purchasest upon so dear, and hard tearms?
A44666	And how much doth relation and propriety endear things, otherwise mean ▪ and inconsiderable?
A44666	And how useful an indowment is this to the nature of man?
A44666	And if God bear with the sinfulness of our present state, is it not reasonable we should bear with the infelicitie of it to his appointed time?
A44666	And if a man enter upon an enquirie into himself; what more important question can he put then this; In what posture am I as to my last and chief end?
A44666	And if thy time expire, and thou be snatcht away in this state, what will become of thee?
A44666	And if we do consider, is not every thought, a sting?
A44666	And indeed all sin may be reduced hither, what else is sin( in the most comprehensive notion) but an undue imitation of God?
A44666	And is not the contrariety here as great?
A44666	And is there any thing to be done by a dead man in order to life?
A44666	And must his death serve, not to destroy sin out of the world, but Christianity?
A44666	And now, who can estimate the blessedness of such a soul?
A44666	And that a vertuous good man i ● liable to no hurt?
A44666	And the commonness whereof doth as little detract from the reproach, and sinfulness, as from the danger of it?
A44666	And then what can be more absurd, or unsavory?
A44666	And then, Is it not to be considered, that thy time is passing away apace?
A44666	And then, how knowest thou but he hath also determined concerning thee, that thou shalt die the next day or hour?
A44666	And then, what more proper english can this text be capable of, than it hath in our Bibles?
A44666	And therefore in this, deal faithfully with thy own soul, and demand of it; Dost thou esteem this blessednesse above all things else?
A44666	And this being the state of thy case, what more significant expression canst thou make of thy contempt of Divine goodness?
A44666	And what are his Commandments, but those expresses of himself, wherein we are to be like him, and conform to his will?
A44666	And what are we not yet wearie?
A44666	And what can be more frivolous than that fore- recited reasoning to the contrary?
A44666	And what canst thou pretend, why, what is now the best, and most desirable good, should not be now chosen, and desired out of hand?
A44666	And what else are you now doing?
A44666	And what hast thou hitherto met with in the world, that should so highly endear it to thee?
A44666	And what reply then should we be able to make?
A44666	And what would''st thou therefore sit still and do nothing; Then how soon would that Idleness draw on gross wickedness?
A44666	And what, do not all men in all the ordinary actions of their lives act, allowable enough, with intuition to much lower ends?
A44666	And when this Temple is filled with the glory of the Lord, the soul it self replenished with the divine fulness, will not its joy be full too?
A44666	And whence should they have it, but from the Old Testament?
A44666	And whereas he came to bless thee in turning thee from thine iniquities, wilfully to remain still in an accursed servitude to sin?
A44666	And whereto can we impute it but to this, that our spirits are not yet sufficiently connaturallized to them?
A44666	And while thou so fallest in with the world, how highly dost thou gratifie the pretending, and usurping God of it?
A44666	And yet is it possible you should think this to be true, and not think it a most important truth?
A44666	And yet that he is thy God?
A44666	And( what is consequent hereupon) How seldom is this blessed state the subject of our discourse?
A44666	Are Gods own reports of the future glory unworthy our belief or regard?
A44666	Are Tribulation& Patience antiquated names?
A44666	Are not these of equal authority?
A44666	Are there not too apparent Symptomes with us of the little joy we take in the forethoughts of future blessedness?
A44666	Are these things little with us?
A44666	Are things onely desirable and lovely to thee, as they are deformed?
A44666	Are thy chie ● est solicitudes, and cares taken up about it, least thou should''st fall short, and suffer a disappointment?
A44666	Are we grown wiser?
A44666	Are we not ashamed to consider what confidence, and desire of death, some Heathens have exprest?
A44666	Are we not his devoted ones?
A44666	Art thou ally''d to that blessed Family?
A44666	Art thou contented to live long in the world, to such purposes?
A44666	Art thou not ashamed to think what thy desires are wo nt to pitch upon, while they decline and wave this blessedness?
A44666	Art thou not daily haunted with Divine Horrors?
A44666	Art thou not under the Gospel?
A44666	Art thou sure when thou shalt have lain at the Worlds Breast ten or twenty years longer, thou wilt then imagine thy self to have drawn it dry?
A44666	As if in all this he had pleaded thus; Lord thou hast abundantly indulged those men already, what need they more?
A44666	As to enjoyned services, what; should we venture on omissions, if we had God in our eye?
A44666	As to the other notion of it; how can it be lesse grateful to behold the wisdom that made, and govern''d the world?
A44666	Ask therefore the holy Soul, What is thy Supreme desire?
A44666	Before the renovating change, how frequently doth the Scripture speak of sinners as men a sleep?
A44666	Besides, are you sure you believe the grand Articles of the Christian Religion?
A44666	Bethink thy ▪ self a little, how low art thou sunk into the dirt of the earth?
A44666	Better, man?
A44666	But Consider, what art thou?
A44666	But a discontented spirit, is a sensual, terrene spirit( for what, but such objects are the usual matter of most mens discontents?)
A44666	But art thou not in all this afraid of charging God foolishly?
A44666	But as thy case is I can not wonder that the thoughts of death be most unwellcome to thee, who art thou that thou shouldst desire the day of the Lord?
A44666	But do not dayes pass with us, wherein we can allow our selves no leasure to mind the eternal glory?
A44666	But do we indeed pretend to such an expectation?
A44666	But doth not the thoughts of this shake our very souls, and fill us with horrour, and trembling?
A44666	But foolish wretch, dost thou know what thou sayst?
A44666	But have I not reason to fear I shall but add sin to sin, in all this?
A44666	But how common, and unregretted are these carriages towards the blessed God?
A44666	But if we should desire still to be so, why may not all others as well as we?
A44666	But is it a thing tollerable to thy thoughts, that thou should''st yeild that heart obedience to the Devil against God?
A44666	But man dyeth and wasteth away; yea man giveth up the Ghost, and where is he?
A44666	But must the great God lose his due acknowledgements because we will not understand wherein he deals well with us?
A44666	But now how little do we find in our selves of this blessed frame of spirit?
A44666	But take away the Gospel and where art thou?
A44666	But that thy Spirit should labour under an aversion towards thy highest good, towards thy blessedness it self, is not that a dismal token upon thee?
A44666	But thou awakest into that great and terrible day of the Lord( dost thou desire it for what end is it to thee?)
A44666	But to how little purpose is it to equivocate with God?
A44666	But what then?
A44666	But what''s this to thy case?
A44666	But what, art thou now dreaming, while thou thus reasonest?
A44666	But what, canst thou act upon no lower rate then a foregoing certainty, a preassurance of the event?
A44666	But who is so hardy to look the holy God in the face and sin against him?
A44666	But who sees not the enmity, and disaffection of mens hearts towards God is the more deeply rooted, and less superable evil?
A44666	But with what triumphs hath the holiness of God himself been celebrated even by Saints on earth?
A44666	But yet consider doth it not better become thee to be grateful, then repine that God will one day unbind thy Soul and set thee free?
A44666	But( Besides that this is that which every one pretends to) is every thing which is necessary, sufficient?
A44666	Can a Child contribute any thing to its first formation?
A44666	Can any say, they ever had a promise to ascertain them that profaneness and sensuality would bring them to Heaven?
A44666	Can not your tongue pronounce these words, what shall I do to be saved?
A44666	Can the love of God live and grow in an unquiet, angry, uncharitable breast?
A44666	Can we think t is all this while well with us?
A44666	Can you have been under the Gospel so long, and be strangers to yourselves?
A44666	Can you separate this in your own thoughts from the highest satisfaction?
A44666	Can you tell wherefore you are a Christian?
A44666	Can''st thou savour nothing, but what smells of the Earth?
A44666	Can( in a word) the state of that soul be unhappy?
A44666	Canst thou say, thou art already certain of thy eternal blessedness?
A44666	Christianity aims at nothing; it gets a man nothing; if it do not procure him a better Spirit?
A44666	Christians, and not know your selves?
A44666	Consider then, wilt thou persist in such a temper and disposition of mind, as all men condemn?
A44666	Consider what awaking hast thou?
A44666	Consider, how blessed a satisfaction dost thou lose?
A44666	Consummatio denique libertatis est, cum homo in Deum, felicissimo gloriae coelestis statu, transformatur;& deus omnia illi esse incipit?
A44666	Couldst thou upon deliberate thoughts judge it tollerable, should he doom thee to this earth forever?
A44666	Darest thou venture thy soul upon it?
A44666	Darest thou venture upon a resolution of giving God and Christ their last refusal?
A44666	Demand of thy self, is my soul yet made heavenly?
A44666	Descend patiently the chambers of death, not so much as once thinking, whether are we going?
A44666	Deum, amicitia est conciliante virtute, amicitiam dico?
A44666	Did Christ die, to take away the necessity of our being Christians?
A44666	Did he promise thee thy being; or that thou should''st live to this day?
A44666	Did it become us not to open our eyes, while he was opening Heaven to us, and representing the state which he designed to bring us to?
A44666	Did they eye God more, would they not sin lesse frequently and with greater regret?
A44666	Did thy reason ever turn off thy soul from God?
A44666	Did''st thou ever hear he was so little a lover of souls?
A44666	Do all passages of this kind in Scripture stand for cyphers or were they put in them by chance?
A44666	Do not your thoughts run the same course with theirs, that meditated nothing but sitting on the right and left hand of Christ, in an earthly dominion?
A44666	Do the thoughts of it continually return upon thee?
A44666	Do we account we shall be ill dealt with, and have an hard bargain of it?
A44666	Do we mean to plead the prescription against all this?
A44666	Do we not know that while we are present in the body, we are absent from the Lord?
A44666	Do you believe that unrighteousness will be the death of your soul?
A44666	Dost thou foreknow, when thou eatest, it shall refresh thee?
A44666	Dost thou not think that Soveraign power is as sufficient to determine of the circumstance, as the thing it self?
A44666	Dost thou savour it with pleasure?
A44666	Dost thou think he will not accept a returning soul?
A44666	Dost thou yet no better understand thy case?
A44666	Doth he not offer, and afford to serious, diligent souls, the assisting light of his blessed Spirit to guide, and succeed the inquirie?
A44666	Doth it give any ground to look for any thing but death after sin?
A44666	Doth it not expresly preclude any such expectation?
A44666	Doth not every thing naturally tend to its ultimate perfection and proper end?
A44666	Doth that person know God, or hath ever seen him, that falls not into the dust, admiring so glorious a Majesty?
A44666	Doth the Merchant foreknow, when he Imbarques his goods, he shall have a safe, and gainful return?
A44666	Even such as lead the strictest lives, and are seldom found to transgress, are not their sins found to begin with forgetting God?
A44666	Examine, and search more narrowly into thy earthly comforts, what is there in them to make them self- desirable, or to be so for their own sakes?
A44666	Felix, Quod simulacrum Deo fingam?
A44666	For a miserable perishing wretch to use Gods means to help it self, doth that look like merit?
A44666	For can any man imagine what other end Religion naturally serves for, but to bring men to blessedness?
A44666	For how must we understand the i ● finitum they are said to see?
A44666	For instance, is he absolutely Supream, in as much as he is the first Being?
A44666	For is our so gross sensuality no sin?
A44666	For what can be more conspicuous in them, then a purposed comparison and opposition of two States of Felicity mutually each to other?
A44666	For what do we use ● o reckon so certain as what we see with our eyes?
A44666	For what doth God the Lord require but fear and love, service, and holy walking, from an intire and undivided Soul?
A44666	For what doth that design, but to bring men to blessedness?
A44666	For what is that righteousness which qualifies for it, but the impress of the Gospel upon the minds and hearts of men?
A44666	For what is this righteousness other than this blessedness begun, the seed and principle of it?
A44666	For, First, How few thoughts have we of it?
A44666	For, to what purpose is it to hide any thing from man?
A44666	Fourthly, Canst thou pretend it to be impossible?
A44666	Further, Canst thou not consider the power, and fixedness of thy aversation from God?
A44666	God binds himself to do what he promises; but hath he any where bound himself to do no more?
A44666	Had the same nature with us; the same reason, the same intellectual faculties and powers; but what monsters are they now become?
A44666	Hast thou any relation to that Heavenly Progeny?
A44666	Hast thou no hope if the Gospel stand in force?
A44666	Hath God left thee under a necessitated ignorance, in this matter?
A44666	Hath he ever done thee hurt?
A44666	Hath he seen him that loves him not, and delights not in his love?
A44666	Hath not Religion an aspect towards Blessedness?
A44666	Hath that person ever seen God, that acknowledges him not a sufficient portion?
A44666	Have all such words a barbaro ● s sound, in your ear, can you not consider what sense is carried under them?
A44666	Have patience with me and I will pay you all?
A44666	Have we a discharge to shew?
A44666	Have we been deaf and dead, while he hath been calling us into eternal glory?
A44666	Have we been dreaming all this while, that God hath been revealing to us this glorious state?
A44666	He came, and returned to prepare a way for you?
A44666	He found the men of time, whose portion was in this life, to be deadly enemies, wicked oppressors, proud insulters?
A44666	He hath got the prospect, at last, into that heart, where where the great thoughts of love were lodg''d from everlasting?
A44666	He sees what made God become a man?
A44666	He that hath learn''d to mortifie the inordinate love of the Body, will he make it the business of his life to purvey for it?
A44666	He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen; how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?
A44666	He therefore that hath made( that hath new formed) this eye shall not he be seen by it?
A44666	Here was a thing fit to be reflected on, as a piece of Divine Royalty?
A44666	His hopes form his Spirit and Deportment; But is it Proportionably so with us?
A44666	His suffering on the Cross, and foregoing obedience, against his Spirit and Government in the Soul?
A44666	Ho ● clear are its apprehensions?
A44666	How are the thoughts and wits set on work for this flesh?
A44666	How are we mockt with their impostures?
A44666	How can we forbear to be angry with our selves, that so glorious an end should not more powerfully attract?
A44666	How can we forbear to cry out of the depths, to the Father of our Spirits, that he would pity, and relieve his own Off- spring?
A44666	How cheap is the expence of a look?
A44666	How do Lovers, that expect the marriage day, tell the hours, and chide the Sun that it makes no more hast?
A44666	How do repell''d Temptations return again?
A44666	How faint is the breath we utter?
A44666	How full is thy mind, and heart of vanity?
A44666	How fully will this image or likeness satisfie then?
A44666	How great is our offence and loss that we live not in such more constant views of God?
A44666	How hardly are we convinc''t of our necessary dependance, on that free Spirit, as to all our truly Spiritual operations?
A44666	How hath my soul been somtimes ravisht with the very thoughts of such a temper of Spirit, as hath appeared amiable in my eye, but I could not attain?
A44666	How insensibly is it wo nt to transform men, and mould anew their Spirits, Language, Garbe, Deportment?
A44666	How is such a person devested by degrees of his rusticitio of his more uncomely and agrest manners?
A44666	How late is it to begin to live when we should make an end?
A44666	How little can a clod of earth suffer, in comparison of what an immortal Spirit may enjoy?
A44666	How long is it ere we can get our Souls possest, with any becoming apprehensions of God, or lively sense of our own concernments?
A44666	How low are our Spirits sunk that we disdain not so base a vassalage?
A44666	How many miserable abortions after travailing pangs and throwes, and fair hopes of an happy birth of the new Creature?
A44666	How many of Gods holy ones, that can not say they are certain, yea how few, that can say they are?
A44666	How many vain dreamers have we of golden mountains and( I know not what) earthly felicity?
A44666	How many, upon the credit of his word are gone already triumphantly into glory?
A44666	How odious a deformity is it, when a shew of moral vertues excludes Godliness?
A44666	How often do Christians meet, and not a word of Heaven?
A44666	How often do we find grace, and peace in conjunction in the Apostles salutations and benedictions?
A44666	How often do we hear, and read, and pray, and meditate as persons asleep?
A44666	How often in Scripture is forgetting God used as a character, yea as paraphrase, a full( though summary) expression of sin in general?
A44666	How often may a person converse with us e''re he understand our relation to the Heavenly Country?
A44666	How pleasing a spectacle will this be, when the glorified soul shall now intentively behold its own glorious frame?
A44666	How precious are thy thoughts unto me, O God, how great is the sunt of them?
A44666	How remarkable, useful providences escape either our notice, or due improvement, amidst our secure slumbers?
A44666	How remote are we from it?
A44666	How ridiculous would men make themselves if in matters of common concernment they should daily practice directly contrary to their professed belief?
A44666	How satisfying a pleasure will this afford to contemplate this radical power?
A44666	How severe should we be to our selves?
A44666	How shall we reach that pitch?
A44666	How should we long to be associated to that glorious Assembly?
A44666	How slight, obscure, hovering notions have they of the most momentous things?
A44666	How stand we affected towards it, in what disposition are our hearts thereto?
A44666	How unconceivable a pleasure will arise from this comparison?
A44666	How unsuitable is this to the character which is given of a Saints love?
A44666	How well doth it become us to set the Lord alwayes before us?
A44666	How would''st thou judge of the like resolution?
A44666	How, often, when the active part of a Christians duty is spoken of, is the passive part studiously, and expresly annexed?
A44666	However, wh ● t could be imagined more absurd, than that the substance of the soul should be a creature, and its faculty God?
A44666	I mean, represent the deplorable case of thy soul before him that made it?

A44666	If thou had''st the mind to impose a lie upon all the world, what course would''st thou take?
A44666	If vision be by intermission, what attractive eyes are here?
A44666	If we first bear the image of a crucified Christ, e''re we partake of the likeness of a glorious God?
A44666	If we venture forth into the world, how do our Senses betray us?
A44666	In a word; Is it righteous to tread under foot the Son of God, to vilifie his Blood, and despise his Spirit?
A44666	In as much as the difficultie, though great, is not insuperable, and the necessity, and advantage incomparably greater?
A44666	Indeed, what is the whole of our life here but a dream?
A44666	Into how weak and languishing a condition hath it brought the Religion of professed Christians?
A44666	Is God less to be believed then a man?
A44666	Is God true when he promises?
A44666	Is he to be accounted a righteous person that thinks it fit to avoid wronging a man, but makes no conscience at all of wronging God?

A44666	Is it Imp ● ssible to you to consult the written word of God, and thence ▪ learn what you must be and do in order to blessedness?
A44666	Is it a comfortable state to be uncertain, or to have before thee apparent grounds of a rational, and just doubt?
A44666	Is it a needless thing to comply with the will of him that gave thee breath and being?
A44666	Is it a possible undertaking you put us upon?
A44666	Is it a small matter in your account, whither you shall be blessed, or miserable for ever?
A44666	Is it any rational consideration, or not rather the meer indisposition of a Soul, affraid to know its own state, that suspends thee from inquiring?
A44666	Is it equal dealing to grieve him, whose business it is to comfort thee?
A44666	Is it impossible to you to attend upon the dispensation of that Gospel, which is Gods power unto salvation?
A44666	Is it not Natural to lift up ▪ Hands, and Eyes to Heaven, when we know not what to do?
A44666	Is it not a laudable, and praise- worthy thing to have a mind and heart set upon that?
A44666	Is it not a pleasant thing so to spend and be spent?
A44666	Is it not an over bold desire?
A44666	Is it not enough that perishing wretches, that were within one hands breadth of Hell, are saved except they be also deified too?
A44666	Is it not enough, that their avarice be gratified, except their malice be also?
A44666	Is it not much more reasonable it should be thus with us towards him?
A44666	Is it not so?
A44666	Is it not strange our very Bridewel, should be such a Heaven to us?

A44666	Is it righteous to harden thy heart against his fear and love?
A44666	Is it righteous to live all thy dayes in a willing ignorance of the Author of thy being, never once to enquire where is God my Maker?
A44666	Is it righteous to live as no way under Law to Christ?
A44666	Is it that thou believest the blessedness of the other state will prove better then any thing thou canst enjoy here?
A44666	Is it that thou canst not endure to look upon so dreadful an object, as the appearing danger, or possibility of thy being miserable to eternity?
A44666	Is it therefore the safest course to go on in a manifest rebellion against God, till possibly he may do so by thee also?
A44666	Is it thy reason, or thy sloth that makes thee sit still; and forbear to look into thy Spiritual affairs?
A44666	Is it to be thought that such blessedness should not more affect our hearts, nay would it not ravish away our very souls, did we throughly believe it?
A44666	Is it, that we can devise to fasten here and there another sence upon divers such?
A44666	Is misery become so natural to us, so much our element, that we can not affect to live out of it?

A44666	Is not this a pleasant life?
A44666	Is nothing grateful to thy Soul, but what is corrupted by so vicious, and impure a tincture?
A44666	Is our love to God so faint and weak, that it dares not encounter Death, nor venture upon the imaginary terrours of the Grave to go to him?
A44666	Is that at length become thy God?
A44666	Is that our love that we never care to come nigh him?
A44666	Is that the way?

A44666	Is there no way to honour his grace, but by affronting his authourity?
A44666	Is this Flesh of ours so lovely a thing that we had rather suffer so many deaths in it; then one in putting it off and mortality with it?
A44666	Is this that we will stand by?
A44666	Is this the righteousness that thou talkest of?
A44666	Is this thy gratitude to the Father of Glory?
A44666	Is thy soul stupifi''d into a Clod?
A44666	It is not necessary?
A44666	It is thy Father that disposes thus of thee, how unworthy is it to distrust his Love?
A44666	It might well therefore be said, I had fainted, if I had not believed( or who can express how sad my case had been, if I had not believed?
A44666	It satisfies a Deity, will it not a worm?

A44666	Know ye not?
A44666	Le ts view it well, and then demand of our own souls, why are our desires so faint and slothful?
A44666	Let me demand of thee, if thou canst not yet go somewhat further then considering?
A44666	Let me demand of thee; dost thou this regret the thoughts of death, as being unwilling to dye at all, or as being unwilling to dye as yet?
A44666	Let us bethink our selves, are not the principal distempers of our Spirits, and disorders yet observable in our lives to be refer''d hither?
A44666	Materially or formarlly?
A44666	Moreover, how can it escape thy serious reflection?
A44666	Must the hopes of all the world be ruin''d to establish thine?
A44666	Nay what Armour shall defend thy Soul, against its own wounding self- reflections hereupon?
A44666	Never mention so venerable a name, if you will not be very jealous of the honour of it; will you give God occasion to charge you?
A44666	O how tender are we grown in comparison of the hardiness and magnanimity of Primitive Christians?
A44666	O my soul, what''s the reason that thou so drawest back, and hangest off from thy God?
A44666	Or canst thou pretend, though thou hast no preassuming promise, thou hast no hope?
A44666	Or do we think it impossible, we should ever come to the trial, or be concern''d to busie our selves with such thoughts?
A44666	Or is the eternal truth of suspected credit with us?
A44666	Or should we serve him as an hard Master, with sluggish, despondent Spirits?
A44666	Or we hear, but our own miseries repeated in their complaints, would we pray?
A44666	Or wilt thou say he is thy God, whom thou never desirest to enjoy?
A44666	Or, for the avoiding the pains and miseries of the former kind, incur those of the latter?
A44666	Reason hath overcome it, natural courage, yea, some mens Atheism, shall not Faith?
A44666	Religion an acknowledged tri ● le, a meer mockery?
A44666	Repentance is that by which we become like the holy God; to whom our sin had made us most unlike before; how sweet are kindly relentings?
A44666	Seeking first the Kingdom of God,& c. would not this sound strangely?
A44666	Shall Christianity here confess it self out- vy''d?
A44666	Shall God be waiting all the day as on purpose to catch our eye?
A44666	Shall their Gentilism outvy our Christianity?
A44666	Shall they comfort themselves upon so wretched a ground, with a little Sophistry, and the hope of extinguishing all desire of immortality?
A44666	Should n ● t a people seek unto their God?
A44666	Should not a people seek unto their God?
A44666	Should we dare to let pass a day, in the Even whereof we might write down nothing done for God this day?
A44666	Should we not be as unapt to forget Heaven, if our delight were there?
A44666	Sure there is little of Heaven in all this?
A44666	That so vast a change could be made in thy state, without any at all in the temper of thy Spirit?
A44666	That they have whatsoever they can conceive desirable for themselves, unlesse they may also infer what ever they can think mischievous on me?
A44666	That* between God and good men, there is a friendship, by means of vertue; a friendship?

A44666	That, whereas, if you ask any man of common understanding what he doth this or that action for?
A44666	The Object, the glory beheld: what a spring of pleasure is here?
A44666	The entire scene of this sensible world, but a vision of the night?
A44666	The g ● and design, of all Religion, and the very Spirit of the Gospel; than this temper?
A44666	The notion of an unholy( or a not- holy, and not- just) God what wickedness would it not induce?
A44666	The one is a participation of a bright, and mild light from heaven; the other of a dark, and raging fire from Hell?
A44666	There are some lucid, and vivid intervals, but of how short continuance?
A44666	Therefore what now do we think of it?
A44666	These things concur then, concerning the object;''t is most excellent( even divine) entire, permanent, and theirs: How can it but satisfie?
A44666	They say they have been Baptized, and therein regenerate, and what would we have more?
A44666	They sometimes cry vehemently in the undressing; but should their cryes be regarded by the most indulgent Parent?
A44666	This hath been the language of sinful dust, Who can stand before this holy God?
A44666	This is my happiness to behold and enjoy this blessed God?
A44666	This monstrous absurdity it infers( and how strange is it, that it should not be reflected on?)
A44666	Thou canst yet further consider, that it lies not in thy power to turn thy own heart( or else how comest thou thus to object?)
A44666	Thou that livest under the Gospel, hast thou any pretence for thy( seeming) ignorance in this matter?
A44666	Thy servant devoted to thy fear, a man finds they fit his spirit, and are aptly expressive of the true sense of his soul; is it not a grateful thing?
A44666	To be remov''d from the solitude, or rudeness of the Country, to a City, or University; What an alteration doth it make?
A44666	To be withheld from that, wherein its life lies?
A44666	To how many thousand objects is the mind of man indifferent?
A44666	To what purpose is it to make your boasts of this Faith?
A44666	Try, lift at thy heart, see if it will be raised God- ward, and Heaven- ward?
A44666	Upon which the resolution of this depends; am I ever likely to enjoy it, yea or no?
A44666	Vain Man what?
A44666	We are not all flesh, what have we done with our souls?
A44666	We are unstable as water, how can we excel?
A44666	We complain the world troubles us, then what do we there?
A44666	Were it consistent with his Nature, what could be his design to put a cheat upon poor mortal dust?

A44666	What if he had totally hidden from us our future state; and that we know nothing, but of going into an eternal silent- darkness?
A44666	What is it but an exposing things to view?
A44666	What is perfect admits no increase;''t is already full, and why should not a full glory satisfie?

A44666	What, to lose, and endure so much, because thou wilt not now a little bestir thy self, and look about thee?
A44666	What, to wink our selves into so much darkness, and desolation?
A44666	What, wish eternally to be affixt to a Clod of Earth?
A44666	What?
A44666	What?
A44666	When God speaks to thee, is it needless for thee to hear him?
A44666	When it compares humane nature in its highest perfection, with the same nature in its utmost depravation?
A44666	When it shall dwell in the contemplation of it self?
A44666	When my eternal blessedness lies upon it, had I not need to be sure, that I hit the true meaning of these Scriptures?
A44666	Whence then do we think that modern familists have fetch their admired non- sense?
A44666	Where is that stupid soul that reckons it an indifferent thing to attain this blessed state, or fall short of it?
A44666	Where is their fear, obedience joy, and praise, who are through the fear of death all their lives subject to bondage?
A44666	Wherein wilt thou believe one upon the bare value of his word, that will lie to thee in any thing?

A44666	Who is he that shall harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
A44666	Who that understands any thing of the Nature, and Majesty of God, dare call him for a witness of his sinning?
A44666	Whom have they had their original instructors?
A44666	Why are we required to speak to them that will not hear?
A44666	Why art thou not affraid, lest thy present unwillingness, should cross his present will?
A44666	Why do we not cry out more feelingly, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this Body of Death?
A44666	Why do we not more frequently bless our eye, with that sight?
A44666	Why have we so few thoughts of him in a day?
A44666	Why therefore shall not this satisfaction be conceived full and perfect?
A44666	Why, suppose we such a thing, as an entire Sphere of nothing else but pure light; what can work any disturbance here?
A44666	Will he offer violence to his own Soul, to secure it from violence?

A44666	Will the violated Law of works accept thy Repentance instead of Obedience?
A44666	Will we disavow our selves to belong to that noble Society of them that through Faith and Patience inherit the promises?
A44666	Wilt thou dare then to adopt those profane words, what profit is it to pray to him?
A44666	Wilt thou yet say in the hand of him that slayeth thee I am a God?
A44666	With how lively a lustre would it cloath the world?
A44666	With what sounding bowels, with what compassionate tears, should the state of mankind be lamented, by all that understand the worth of a soul?
A44666	Would his sleeping on, till the Officers arrest had awak''t him, have mended the matter with him?
A44666	Would they not with an heroick scorn, turn away their eyes from beholding vanity, did they consider their own capacity of beholding the divine glory?
A44666	Would we have all his Designs to be still unfinisht?
A44666	Would we meditate?
A44666	Would we not think our selves mock''t, if God should command us these things, in order to our being happy?
A44666	Yea further, can the c ● ● tous man pretend a promise, that his unjust practises shall inrich him?
A44666	Yea further, is it not a monstrous unnaturalness towards thy self, as well as impiety towards God, not to desire that perfect, final blessedness?
A44666	Yea, and doth not the expectation of it seem as presumptious, as the issue it self would be strange?
A44666	Yea, can we not please our selves with very uncertain groundless hopes of this kind, without promise or valuable reason?
A44666	Yea, will they not cease to be wise in their own eyes also; when they see the issue, and reap the fruits of their foolish choice?
A44666	Yea,( what is nearer the present purpose) did he promise thee a station under the Gospel?
A44666	Yet, in which of these cases would''st thou chuse to be found at last?
A44666	You have now what to answer to the Atheists profane Querie; what profit is it to serve God?
A44666	a manumission from all the suffering part of a Christians duty?
A44666	a perpetual Hostility, a very Tilting at his Cross?
A44666	a thing unlawful to be affected, as it seems impossible to be attained?
A44666	a thought?
A44666	a worshipper, in thy very soul, of the creature, more then of the Creatour?
A44666	actions that easily, and freely slow from their own principles; and when blessedness it self is infolded in those very acts and inclinations?
A44666	and act the wickedness thou canst not think of?
A44666	and all the powers of the soul beset on work, by the attractive power of that glory?
A44666	and be guilty of so odious a thing, as shall be censured& blamed by the common concurrent vote and judgment of mankind?
A44666	and can it operate to this purpose, without being heard, or read, and understood, and considered, and taken to heart?
A44666	and crave his merciful relief?
A44666	and discern whether thou be of them or no?
A44666	and expose thy sacred truths and counsels, to the contempt of sinful worms?
A44666	and hasten misery as if it came on too slowly?
A44666	and how absurd it is to introduce the cause, on purpose to exclude its genuine inseparable effect?
A44666	and how is it a means to compass that design, but as it tends to ingage mens spirits to design it too?
A44666	and how much toil?
A44666	and how much would it contribute to the ease and quiet of our minds?
A44666	and is he not as true when he threatens?
A44666	and is it not a discharge also from being Christians as much?
A44666	and is it not much more desirable, in a matter of this consequence to be at some certainty?
A44666	and more ungrateful to our ears and hearts, then heaven and eternal glory are acceptable?
A44666	and most uncapable of converse with him?
A44666	and must we, because that end can not be attained here, therefore go the quite contrary way?
A44666	and not express my sense thereof?
A44666	and prudent to indeavour it, if it may possibly be attain''d?
A44666	and save thy life?
A44666	and set thee a crying to the God of mercy for relief and help?
A44666	and setting this lovely prospect before our eyes?
A44666	and shall not we, by cherishing the blessed hope of injoying shortly an immortal glory?
A44666	and so mighty wheeles stand still for us?
A44666	and that thou art not willing eternally to be deprived of?
A44666	and that thou so limitest thy self?
A44666	and the polluted pleasures of a filthy world better to thee then the eternal visions and enjoyments of Heaven?
A44666	and the return of the Soul to its God?
A44666	and thy mind and heart, as it were naturally, run out to it?
A44666	and vanquished Corruptions, recover strength?
A44666	and we studiously decline him, and still look another way, as of choice?
A44666	and what a torture again hath it been that I could not?
A44666	and what is it but choice?
A44666	and what, wilt thou remain uncertain?
A44666	and when you have reason''d the matter with your self, you find it to be certainly so; should not such a thing be more deeply pondered?
A44666	and whose power is so absolute over thee, as to all thy concernments, both of time, and eternity?
A44666	and why do I conceive so?
A44666	and with how mighty a weight thy heart is carried, and held down from him?
A44666	and yet leave them involv''d in the common ruine too?
A44666	and yet more weary of holding in?
A44666	and yet undesirous of the same blessedness?
A44666	are all thy delights centred in a Dunghill?
A44666	are not Souls begotten by that Word to be the first fruits of his creatures?
A44666	are our expectations pitc ●''t upon a valuable good?
A44666	are these thy qualifications for the everlast- blessedness?
A44666	are they not such as are common to thee with them that are of a false Religion?
A44666	as if we knew not what we were about?
A44666	as it is in Jesus to the putting off the old man, and putting on the new?
A44666	as well as those, pray what do you to think of the weather?
A44666	bent upon eternal blessednesse or no?
A44666	but dost thou not think it is now better also?
A44666	but to sin, that grace may abound?
A44666	can we pretend a necessity to forget him all the day?
A44666	can we think this a tollerable evil, or suffer, with patience, such a distemper of Spirit?
A44666	can you not bethink yourself; do the doctrines of God, and Christ, and the life to come, signifie something or nothing?
A44666	can''st thou look upon no glorious thing with a pleased eye?
A44666	canst thou defer thy misery by forgetting it?
A44666	canst thou find a way of being for ever blessed without God, or whether he will or no?
A44666	canst thou not bear the thoughts of eternal misery, how wilt thou bear the thing?
A44666	canst thou promise thy self an hour?
A44666	canst thou wink Hell into nothing; and put it out of being, by putting it out of thy thoughts?
A44666	consider your state, can that be your blessedness which you desire not?
A44666	couldst thou ever look one quarter of an hour into the Bible, and not meet with some intimation of this truth?
A44666	cujus 〈 ◊ 〉 bonum 〈 ◊ 〉, ac 〈 ◊ 〉, ac 〈 ◊ 〉 cons ● ●?
A44666	did he promise thee the bread that sustains thee, the daily comforts of thy life?
A44666	did it proceed from a good mind, or a bad?
A44666	do you live in those sweet and ravishing comforts of the Holy Ghost, that may bespeak you one whom he hath sealed up to the day of redemption?
A44666	dost thou bend all thy powers to pursue, and presse on towards it?
A44666	dost thou not find it is as if thou wert lifting at a Mountain, that it lies as a dead weight, and stirs not?
A44666	feel now again thy heart, try is it not at least coldly affected towards this blessed state?
A44666	for it s present content?
A44666	for what is there am ● ng all beings, that can be stable or consist, if God do not by his own touch, stay and sustain the nature of it?
A44666	had''st thou not rather be any where else?
A44666	hast thou no sense with thee of any thing better and more excellent?
A44666	hath it a sweet and grateful relish to thy Soul?
A44666	hath not God spoken plainly enough?
A44666	have I any thing to do with it?
A44666	have all our senses been bound up all this while?
A44666	have we a more plausible reason to alledge, that the discovery of such a glory mov''d us not to desire it; then that we believed it not?
A44666	have we not heard enough of Heaven to allure us thither?
A44666	how art thou plunged into the mity Ditch?
A44666	how careful should we be that our eye may at every turn meet his?
A44666	how dreadfully, shall we, herein, revenge our own folly in nullifying him to our selves, who is the All in All?
A44666	how empty of God?
A44666	how few would believe them serious, or in their wits?
A44666	how indisposed did I find my self to the proper actions of that life?
A44666	how is my Spirit framed towards it?
A44666	how little would it cost us, and yet how much of duty might it express, how much of comfort and joy might it bring into us?
