A54029Is a man then to expect such a thing as the Leadings of God''s Spirit in his Conscience?
A54029Is only the tender Conscience then, fit to be wrought upon by God?
A54029Is there such a day to be?
A54029Now that is the thing to be enquired into, What this capacity is, and who are the persons that are found in this capacity?

A42475Question is, What may be that cause of God, for which he thus pleads in wrath against us in England?

A66381I shall consider, How we may know what things are Indifferent in the Worship of God?
A66381Or, Whether there be any thing Indifferent in the Worship of God?
A66381This our Saviour condemn''d in the Pharisees, Why do ye Transgress the Command of God by your tradition?

A9665219. we reade that they were stoned as malefactors, was not Christ counted a Prophet?
A9665232. 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?

A96652Now if one of these make an enemy terrible, how terrible will that enemy bee, in whom all these foure meete?
A96652Now therefore, as when Monica( Austens mother) heard an excellent discourse of the joyes of heaven, sayd, Quid facio hic?

A96652so say I, what doe we heere, planting our affections on the things of this life?
A96652what other thing is the Soule, but God lodging in the body?

A20674Or is our vnderstanding beyond the ancients?

A20674Who doth not streight acknowledge his dulnesse?
A20674Whom among the sonnes of men did he choose for his assistant?
A20674Yet what wonder is it if thus reciprocally they maintained charity?
A20674deeper then hell what canst thou knowe?
A20674is he able to satisfie himselfe in any triuiall obiect?
A20674v. 2. t is said, who is able to open the booke?
A20674who but the Lyon of the tribe of Iuda?
A20674with what affection did they mutually imbrace?
A20674with what sharpnesse deserue they to be handled who breed diuisions?
A66687And is not God the Authour of that wrath?
A66687And who can be offended at the poor for doing this?
A66687And why do they all this?
A66687And why so?
A66687And why?
A66687As 〈 ◊ 〉 is said, Is there any evil in the Citie, and the Lord hath not done it?
A66687But as every thing hath his growth, his raign and end, so must this slavery have an end; The proud and covetous hearts cry, what slavery is this?
A66687But did not God send the Chaldeans and Sabeans to punish Job?
A66687But if Christ and the Father be all one power and wisdome, why do you make a distinction, as if they were two?
A66687But if you say?
A66687But is not hell the execution of Justice?
A66687But is not this the old rule, He that sheds man ● bloud by man shall his bloud be shed?
A66687But the second Adam is called, His wel- beloved Son; the Son of his delight, the Son bringing honour and peace; Why?
A66687But what if a man break that law of Righteousnes, as many do under this fleshly government which is yet extant?
A66687But what if some steal or whore, or become idle, and wil not work, but live upon others labours, as rich men do, that cal the land theirs?
A66687But what is it for a man to live in the kingdom of hell, devil or darknesse?
A66687But why hath not the Lord done this all this time that is past?
A66687Did the light of Reason make the earth for some men to ingrosse up into bags and barns, that others might be opprest with poverty?
A66687Doth not their shame almost appear to all men?
A66687I but how comes the fire and water to break forth to destroy at some times more then another?
A66687I but one man kils another by wars, and such like, Is not this the wrath of God upon them?
A66687I can not believe such things till I see them?
A66687If any do steal, what wil they do with it?
A66687If it be thus, then saith the scoffer, mens wives shall be common too?
A66687None shal buy or sel, and al the while that every one shal have meat, and drink, and cloaths, what need have they to steal?
A66687Thomas Dydimus, that is, the unbelief of your hearts cries out, When will these things be?
A66687WHat do you mean by the kingdom devil or flesh?
A66687Was it the humane flesh?
A66687What do you mean by divine, and divine power?
A66687What is it for a man to live in the kingdom of heaven?
A66687What is the kingdom of Heaven, or of Christ?
A66687What was that seed of Abraham, that is called the blessing?
A66687Who was it that put the Son of man to death?
A66687Who was it that the god Devil did afflict?
A66687not in our time?
A66687or a man may have as many wives as he please?
A66687or the power of darkness, that ruled in flesh?
A30637A Sign of the Covenant then, there must be in the time of the Seed; Else, how shall the Seed keep it?
A30637And is this an absurdity?
A30637And who shall be believed?
A30637Besides, who will say the Females were Excluded the Passover?
A30637But shall the Seed indeed be within the promise and blessing, and not under the Duty and Obligation?
A30637But what if the Argument were New, and all as New as the Method?
A30637But what if they were here?
A30637For Mark it, shall the Blessing descend, and not the Proper Duty of that Blessing?
A30637How else was it that his Faith was Accounted unto him for Righteousness?
A30637I ask him; was not the Reward given to Abraham, for his Believing?
A30637I say there, that Signing is the Proper Duty of the Covenant; what is This to That?
A30637Implying, that they may have been, and are, by some, Observed, though, Happily, not by every Body: And who will say they were?
A30637Is not this an honest Disputant, or rather a cunning sophister?
A30637Is not to keep the Covenant, as much a Duty Bound upon the Seed, as the Promise, a Blessing made to it?
A30637That Canaan was the Reward of Abraham''s Faith, who but such a Sophister, dares soberly to Deny it?
A30637What in all This is to the Business in hand?
A30637What then?
A30637Would it to a Man of Conscience, a Seeker of Light, a Lover of Truth, go the less in Value but for That, if it is Good?
A30637and that Secondarily, which is not so Primarily?
A30637are not Christ and Believers considered as one Party?)
A30637are they Excluded any where?
A30637in that which here himself calls but a Conference; the softest word in the world?
A30637or Abuse put upon him?
A30637or what Application of it can be made to either Proposition?
A30637the least of any Insulting over him?
A30637thou Shalt keep my Covenant therefore, thou and thy Seed?
A30637verse?
A30637were they not of the Congregation of the Lord, and Members of the Families, or Houses, in which the Passover was Eaten, and by which?
A30637why had he not Argued it out?
A02058Admit the Planets could hurt vs: can they heale vs, when they haue hurt vs?
A02058And haue not we them amongst vs at this day, that hold fasting to be superstitiō?
A02058And the Prophet Amos affirmeth the same thing of God, Is there any euill in the City, and the Lord hath not done it, sayth the Prophet?
A02058And what are we to iudge of such?
A02058But to whom should he pray in his afflictions?
A02058But was he heard?
A02058But when did our Sauiour Christ rest, sayth Barnard?
A02058But you will say vnto me, Doe you condemne all that dye suddenly?
A02058Can Iosias be sayd to dye of a sudden death?
A02058Oh ye vnmercifull men of the world, haue you none to oppresse but y e poore workman?
A02058Quid meruere boues, animal sine fraude?
A02058Therefore the Prophet Ieremy demaunds this Question of these that do so curiously obserue the rules of Nature, Can the heauens giue showres?
A02058What a madnes is this to forget the iudgement wherewith she was destroyed, and to practise her sinnes, which was the cause shée was destroyed?
A02058What comfort, I pray you, can any man haue, to thinke y t the Planets are the causes of such things as happen in the world?
A02058What haue these poore sillie creatures deserued, that they should bée punished?
A02058What say you to good King Iosias, so much lamented by Ieremy, and commended by the testimony of Gods spirit in the Scriptures?
A02058What say you to many good men, some drownd at sea?
A02058What shall I say to the workemasters of our time?
A02058What was the cause that Aegisthus became an Adulterer?
A02058Whereupon the Lord expostulates the matter with his people, and demaunds of them, What they had to doe to grinde the faces of the poore?
A02058can they helpe vs, when they haue crost vs?
A02058can they relieue vs, when they haue plagued vs?
A02058do you affirme, that sudden death to all these is a spiritual iudgement?
A02058haue you not read, Thou shalt not muzzell the mouth of the Oxe that treadeth out of the corne?
A02058is it not thou, O Lord our God, saith the Prophet?
A02058nay, destroyed, hauing neuer offended?
A02058or doe you thinke that sudden death is alwayes a spirituall iudgement?
A02058some going well to bed, and found dead in their beds?
A02058some kild in fight?
A02058to Fate& Destiny?
A02058to Fortune and Chance?
A02058to the Starres and Planets?
A02058— quis talia fando temperet a lachrymis?
A09984And what is the nature and property, the quality and condition of it?
A09984But I answer, is it so?
A09984But I answer, what dost thou tell him of that?
A09984But let me aske thee one question; dost thou know what it is to bee so accursed?
A09984But thou wilt say, I have often offended him, will he then yet heare me, or accept of my love for all that?
A09984But thou wilt say, durus est hic sermo, this is an hard saying, how shall I be able to doe this?
A09984But thou wilt say, how doth prayer beget love?
A09984But thou wilt say, how shall I know that?
A09984But thou wilt say, how shall I know whether this that I doe, I doe it out of love to his name, rather then out of any hypocrisie, or love to my selfe?
A09984But thou wilt say, why?
A09984But what is that to thee?
A09984But you will say, we are not able to fulfill the law of our selves; and how then shall we doe it?
A09984But( thou wilt say againe yet further) what, must wee love nothing else but him then?
A09984But( thou wilt say) how shall I come to be acquainted with God?
A09984But( thou wilt say) will God then be content with any love?
A09984Dost thou so?
A09984Fourthly, wee shall receive much comfort by loving the Lord: now what is that keepes us from loving of him but our pleasures?
A09984How?
A09984I answer, no truely that he will not neither; what then?
A09984Is it not so?
A09984Now doe but thinke how good a thing it is to love one that is but like thee?
A09984Oh, but how shall I know that?
A09984Thirdly, dost thou love his appearing at the last day, canst thou say in the uprightnesse of thy soule, come Lord Iesus, come quickly?
A09984Thou wilt say, these are indeede good motives to make us to love him, but how shall I come by this love?
A09984What if thou be, yet he is long suffering, so that he will not cast thee off, if so be thou wilt cleave to him?
A09984What''s that?
A09984canst thou deny him such a small thing as that is?
A09984dost thou thinke it long first?
A09984hast thou no such occasions?
A09984if he thinke thee worthy; as so he doth, for he sues unto thee, what needst thou stand upon that, why shouldst thou care for any more?
A09984is it not a great griefe for a man to be confind to his house, so that hee must never come to the Court, nor see the Kings face any more?
A09984is this such a loadstone of love?
A09984now this is all the dowry and duty he askes of thee, for what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, ô Israel, but that thou love him*?
A09984or by what meanes shall I get this love into my heart?
A09984so wouldest thou say out of love to the love of God; what doe I here, since I can not behold the faire beauty of the Lord?
A09984why?
A4763112 9. doth he suffer us to be overcome in temptation?
A47631But how shall this excellent promise of GOD be effected?
A47631Doe not my words doe good to him that walketh uprightly?
A47631Doth the Lord permit us to temptation?
A47631Hath GOD promised to pardon our sinnes?
A47631Hath he promised us a Crowne and Kingdome?
A47631He and his wife being both old; he thus( as accounting GODS promises vaine) answered, LORD GOD, what wilt thou give mee, seeing I goe childlesse?
A47631He hath given us his Sonne, the Fountaine of all good things, what can he denie us then that may be for our good and comfort?
A47631He that gave us CHRIST, how shall he not with him give us all things also?
A47631He that hath performed the promise concerning CHRIST, wherein shall he faile?
A47631How doth he trust in GOD for a Kingdome, that will not trust him for a crust of bread?
A47631How sweet are thy promises unto my mouth?
A47631If I pray for the salvation of another, I have no promise, how then can I pray in faith?
A47631If any should demand, cui bono, for what use may such a Treatise serve, or what profit can redoūd to Christiās by it?
A47631If we have an herbe in our garden that would ease our griefe, and we know it not, what are we the nearer?
A47631Is it not a part of thy Covenant?
A47631Is not the life more then meate, and the body then raiment?
A47631It is a maine pollicie of the Divell, to lay siege, to the truth of GODS Word, Yea hath GOD, said?
A47631Seest thou a man diligent in his businesse?
A47631So if we know not the Promises, though they be in the booke, what are we the better?
A47631The wicked hope he will change, where is the promise of his comming?
A47631Therefore wee should imitate, the Athenians, shall I say?
A47631They shall looke unto him, and 〈 ◊ 〉 to him, and their faces shall not be ashamed: What made them so confident in GODS mercies?
A47631We should say with David, What am I, or what is my fathers house, that I should be raised hitherto?
A47631Wee may retort this argument upon themselves: for where is it said to any by name, Sanctifie the Sabbath, sweare not?
A47631What can be more Absolute?
A47631What shall separate us from the love of CHRIST?
A47631Where is it said by name( say they) to any man; Thou Peter or Iohn shalt be saved?
A47631Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windowes?
A47631Who shall lay any thing to the charge of GODS Elect?
A47631Who shall lay any thing to the charge of GODS elect?
A47631Why truth to Jacob and mercy to Abraham?
A47631an immortall and eternall Inheritance, that can never be shaken nor taken from us, and shall not we labour to walke worthy of the s ● ne?
A47631and shall we therefore provoke and grieve him every day more and more by our sinnes?
A47631and yet the commandements belong to us, why not then the Promises, though not spoken to us by name?
A47631have wee a multitude and magnitude of sinnes?
A47631shall we thus requite the bounty, mercy, love and goodnesse of GOD?
A47631who would spend to try a liberall friend?
A60590But how are these men assured, that there is no future state?
A60590But is not this a most irrational and senseless ground of their infidelity?
A60590But what do they mean by nature?
A60590But who does not deride and condemn such scepticism as very silly and irrational?
A60590Can that, which has no sense, or understanding, or life, or skill, be the author of such beings, which are endowed with all?
A60590Can the government of a most holy and alwise God be supposed imperfect and defective in so necessary a part of it, as is distributive justice?
A60590Can the united strength of other creatures?
A60590Do they mean a principle of things, void of life and understanding?
A60590Does not the justice of God make it necessary, that there be a distribution of rewards and punishments hereafter, according as every one deserves?
A60590For what is a lye, but a plain confession of guilt, and of fear, that we dare not tell and own the truth, when we are demanded it?
A60590For what shall hinder?
A60590For who would not be happy for ever, if he either might or could?
A60590For with what pretense can any one doubt or disbelieve their fulfilling, who reflects upon God''s truth and power?
A60590How comes it to confer that upon others, which it has not in it self?
A60590Is not bloud- thirsty cruelty, for instance, a manifest breach of the law natural and divine?
A60590Now to demand, why is there then no infinite effect of an infinite power?
A60590This power then must be infinite: for what can limit or restrain it?
A60590What can any one alledge to justifie or excuse his solly?
A60590Who is not concerned for the sufferings of good men in all ages?
A60590a Estne opus in vitâ negotiosum aliquod atque actuosum genus, quod non side praeeunte suscipiant, sumant, atque aggrediantur actores?
A60590but can the stately, and curious, and regular frame of things flow from such a principle?
A60590how pitiful and mean in comparison of the heavens?
A60590what demonstration can these great Masters of reason, as they think themselves, whom nothing less will content and satisfie, bring to the contrary?
A60590who can put a force upon him, or stop his procedures, when there is nothing equal and co- ordinate?
A60590who in his right wits and calm thoughts would be content to be miserable to eternal ages?
A60590who would make it his choice to be damned, if he might avoid it?
A60590yet how many of them, who have been guilty of this barbarity, have left the world without any mark of the divine vengeance upon them?
A12168Alas this poor life of ours, it is a life of necessities; how many things are needfull for our bodies?
A12168Alas, where is the desire of one thing necessary all the while?
A12168And this is not simply set out, but likewise with a holy insultation, The Lord is my light and salvation, whom shall I feare?
A12168And what other place hath he such care to protect, and provide for as his house?
A12168But can wee doe the will of God on earth as it is done in heaven?
A12168But here it may be asked, why doth he say, One thing?
A12168But to speake a little more of the object, why doth he say, One thing?
A12168But what is that to this?
A12168Can the hypocrite pray alway?
A12168For how doth nature differ from Art?
A12168For the obiect here propounded, what more desirable then the chiefe good?
A12168For what end?
A12168Hee saw God in his power, and then looking from God to the creature, alas, who was he?
A12168Holy desires are kindled in the Soule from the love of God: for what saith hee here?
A12168How shall I know whether my desire be strong enough, and ripe enough or no, to give me comfort?
A12168I desire one thing; What is that?
A12168If God be with us, who can be against us?
A12168It was generally propounded before, One thing have I desired, and that will I seeke after, with all my might, and what is that?
A12168Of whom doth hee desire it?
A12168One thing have I desired, what was that?
A12168Put case God doth not heare our request, that he doth not grant what we aske?
A12168The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
A12168To dwell in the house of the Lord, what to doe?
A12168Was there but one thing for holy David to make the object of his desire?
A12168Well, but that that he prayed for, hee was assured of, and therefore what need hee pray for it?
A12168What is his care?
A12168What is the reason that God doth not presently accomplish our desires?
A12168Would you know a comfortable note to distinguish an hypocrite from a true Christian?
A12168and doth Gods glorious Kingdome of heaven come while wee are here in earth?
A12168as Michaia, when he had seene God sitting upon his Throne, What was Achab to him, when he had seen God once?
A12168for the place, where can it bee more desired, then in his house, where his presence is manifested?
A12168how many things are needfull for the decencie of our condition?
A12168how many things need we for our soules?
A12168it is a life of necessities; how then doth hee say, One thing have I desired?
A12168take it hence, Will the hypocrite pray alway?
A12168the comfort of his wife and house,& c. Tush, what doe I regard these things?
A12168these be things of this life?
A12168to be rich and great in the World, and to bee revenged on my enemies?
A12168was there but one thing needfull?
A12168what better end to bee in that house, then to behold God in the beauty of holinesse?
A12168what is the bent of thy soule?
A12168what terme of happinesse better then for ever?
A12168when a man is once converted and turned, wherein is his turning?
A12168will not he regard their petitions; when an unrighteous Judge shall care for the importunity of a poore Widow?
A5017226. Who is on the Lords lide?
A50172Again, What have been the Authors from whom we have been afflicted?
A50172And Alas, have we not very much Injured the Indians?
A50172And have not we also Followed the Indians?
A50172And why have so many of our Brethren and Neighbours been made a prey to the most Savage Murderers in the world?
A50172Are you so, or are you not?
A50172But I pray, which of them American Cities, must New- England become Incorporate into?
A50172But in Compliance with it, Let every man seriously now enquire of himself, What have I done?
A50172But we are to enquire, What is implied in that presence of GOD, which we are to be solicitous about?
A50172But, What is it for a people to be With God?
A50172Do not I fill Heaven and Earth, saith the Lord?
A50172Had we ever felt the sore grievances of an illegal& arbitrary Government?
A50172Hear this, ye old men,; hath this been in your dayes?
A50172How came this to pass?
A50172If God be for us, who can be against us?
A50172If the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us?
A50172If the Lord had been with us, had all the wild Creatures that passed by this Vineyard, found such Opportunities to be plucking at it?
A50172If you are not, what do you here in this Lower World, where you can find no more of your own Attainments?
A50172Is God Holy?
A50172Is God Merciful?
A50172Is God Righteous?
A50172Let no man say, I am a sorry Creature, of what account can my prayers be?
A50172Methinks, t''were an harder Quaestion, Wherin should we not?
A50172Our Fruits have been blasted;& were they not abused in the excesses of Sensuality?
A50172Shall the Grandchildren of Moses turn Idolaters?
A50172Shall we forget the Hope of our Fathers, or forsake our Fathers Friend?
A50172T is a Summons given to the world in every Generation, Who is on the Lords side?
A50172The Lord is on my side, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
A50172We may then defie, even the Gates of Hell it self, for, Cur metuat hominem homo in sinu Dei positus?
A50172Were you visited with Plague after Plague, in a long Series of heavy Judgements, as We your poor Children are?
A50172What Burden?
A50172What have been the Objects in which we have been afflicted?
A50172What shall I say?
A50172What was that?
A50172What?
A50172Wherein shall we return?
A50172Whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A50172Why have the worst of the Heathen had renewed advantages to disturb our Peace?
A50172Why have we had Fire after Fire, laying our Treasures in Ashes?
A50172Why have we had War after War, made upon us by a Foolish Nation?
A50172and shall the Children of Samuel become the Children of Belial?
A63049( Doth he not love his Son as Himself?)
A63049And enjoy all things as God doth, By delighting in his Blessedness?
A63049And what is the event or success of doing it?
A63049And why, O Lord, wouldst thou so delight To magnify the dust 〈 ◊ 〉 from the ground?
A63049Are Eyes and Hands such Jewels unto thee?
A63049Are we drawn unto thee?
A63049As much as my self because thou hast given me my self; Infinitely more for giving me all things: The benefits I receive being the fuel of my love?
A63049But couldst thou not have remitted our Knowledge, and established to thy self a righteous Kingdom, without composing our Bodies, or the World?
A63049But why would the Lord take pleasure in creating an earthly Body?
A63049Can not ye be sensible of their Incorrigibleness?
A63049Couldst thou not have made us immortal Souls, and seated us immediately in the throne of Glory?
A63049Crowns with Ages?
A63049Eternity in my Soul?
A63049Gold with Affections?
A63049Goodness towards all thy Creatures?
A63049Holiness towards all thy Creatures?
A63049How excellent are thy Laws to me in particular?
A63049How high the Glory and Blessedness of Heaven?
A63049How sweet are thy words unto my taste?
A63049How were thine Affections, here upon earth, Present with all Families, Present with all Kingdoms, Present with all Ages?
A63049If no man is inhabitant, Or dwelling in them?
A63049Infinity in my Soul?
A63049Is it not a part of the beatifical Vision?
A63049Is it not my Joy?
A63049Is it not that I might live, In the simili tude of thy Wisdom towards all thy Creatures?
A63049May Lillies compare with the Souls of Men?
A63049Need I not Spurs, Wings, Enflamers?
A63049Now if the Fall of them be the Riches of the World, and the Demolishing of them, the enriching of the Gentiles, how much more their fulness?
A63049O my God, how often should I die, were it not for these, thy Glorious Hosts?
A63049O why dost thou make us So thy treasures?
A63049Of what Esteem was every Soul in all the World?
A63049Perfumes with Virtues?
A63049Shall I not then love thee more than my self?
A63049Should I not rust, O Lord, and grow dull and heavy?
A63049To see how perfectly thy Goodness loveth us?
A63049To what end therefore am I endned with these eternal Powers, The similitude of thy Greatness in my Soul?
A63049What O Lord, are Tongues and Sounds, And Nostrils unto thee?
A63049What can he withhold, that 〈 ◊ 〉 as himself?
A63049What glorious Treasures shall I possess, When all these are so esteemed?
A63049What hast thou done for me thy Servant?
A63049What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits toward me?
A63049What shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
A63049What, O Lord, is the variety of their Persons, Dispositions, and Actions?
A63049Who will not delight in being beloved of thee?
A63049Why should not we, by Goodness alone, Be fraught with Wisdom, Glory, Be fraught with Peace:& Blessedness?

A30636But may the Atheist say, what need so much adoe then, for man to pray, and hear, and read, and meditate, and try, if God do all?
A30636But seeing nothing gives but what it has it self, must not he be Holy, Pure, and Righteous, that Formed man so?

A44674And are your minds more delightfully taken up with the things of God than formerly?
A44674And doth not this import enmity in an high degree?
A44674And is it not strange you can not see this?
A44674And is your enmity against God a juster, or more tolerable thing?
A44674And what were they, of whom he says, by the Prophet?
A44674And whence doth this proceed, but from enmity, an alienation of the mind from God?
A44674Are you in mind and spirit more holy, spiritual and serious?
A44674But it is most justly to be said, what profit is it to the Almighty that we call upon him?
A44674But who may not now apprehend a necessity of being regenerate?
A44674Can two walk together, unless they be agreed?
A44674Can you deny that you have lived in great ignorance of God much of your time?
A44674Can you deny you have minds capable of knowing God?
A44674Do not these things together discover an enmity against God, and the ways of God?
A44674Enquire, therefore, what change do you find in your minds?
A44674God charges them, and doth he not know them?
A44674Have you not in you a reflecting power?
A44674How can we lie down in peace in an unreconciled state?
A44674How few are there that say, give me Christ, or I am lost?
A44674If you be God''s Enemy, can he be your Friend?
A44674It would be profane to say, what profit is it to us to call upon the Almighty?
A44674None can reconcile me to God but Christ?
A44674Now consider, whether our disobedience to these two Precepts do not discover great enmity in our Hearts against God?
A44674That the Gospel under which you have lived, hath had little effect upon you, to alter the temper of your Spirits towards him?
A44674That the thoughts of him have been ungratefull, and very little welcome, or pleasant to you?
A44674That you have had little converse with him, little trust, reverence, delight, or expectation plac''d on him as the object?
A44674That you have not been wo nt to concern him in your affairs, to consult him, to desire his concurrence?
A44674That you have not designed the pleasing, or obeying of him in the course of your conversation?
A44674That you have not thought of approving your self to him in your designs and actions, but lived as without him in the world?
A44674That you have usually been thoughtless and unmindfull of him in your ordinary course?
A44674To refuse placing our Treasure, and our Hearts in Heaven, what doth this signify, but aversion, and a disaffected Heart?
A44674What doth this signify, but obstinate, invincible enmity?
A44674What is so near a man, as himself?
A44674What need of such striving, but that there is a great enmity in the minds of People to be conquered and overcome?
A44674What will become of the man that is not reconciled to God?
A44674What will become of thee, if thou diest with such a disaffected mind Godward?
A44674What, to refuse to pray, and pour out our Souls to him in secret?
A44674When men will endure the greatest extremity, rather than apply themselves to God; what doth this resolve into, but enmity against God?
A44674When therefore this is not done, whence is it, but from an enmity of mind?
A44674Whence can this be, but from man''s aversion, and enmity of mind against God?
A44674While the voice of the Gospel of Grace is calling upon you, Return and live; Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die?
A44674Why are men at that distance from him, who is Goodness, and Grace, and Love it self?
A44674Why else is he called, the heart- searching God?
A44674Why is it?
A44674Why is not Heaven every day in our thoughts?
A44674Why not as well on God, as upon any of those vanities, about which they are commonly employ''d?
A44674Why should not God rule over, and govern his own?
A44674Why will we lose the pleasure of an heavenly life, and exchange it for earthly care, and trouble, or vanity, at the best?
A44674Yet when their very Hearts are such an Hell of wickedness( as what is more hellish than enmity against God?)
A44674and perceive a disaffection to God by all this in your selves?
A44674or without knowing, whether we are reconciled, or not?
A44674that your ignorance was voluntary, having such means of knowing him, as you have had?
A44674what business will this hinder?
A44674when a man goes about his ordinary affairs, will it do any hurt to take God with him?
A47528Alas, whilst every Mans Hand at Sea and Land is up against God, fighting against him; can we expect he should appear to fight for us?
A47528And also what Divisions, Discord and Animosities are there among Professors?
A47528Are such Laws made and executed, to check and restrain the cursed enormities of the ungodly?
A47528But what will these men do in the day of Wrath?
A47528Did not the Lord against whom they had sinned?
A47528Doth God''s word confirm it to be a Truth?
A47528Doth not my present Employment bring me in Food and Rayment, and ought not I therewith to be Content?
A47528He spoiled Pharaoh, and the Egyptians, by an Army of Frogs, Locusts, Lice, Flies,& c. What wonders did he do with 300 Men?
A47528He 〈 ◊ 〉 and made Supplication;& also said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me, Gen. 32 26 And he said, What is thy Name?
A47528How did he wrestle with God?
A47528How doth it concern us to Acknowledge God, for Preservation and a Blessing in all things?
A47528How lively are our Spirits, and active our Graces, when God vouchsafeth his Divine Influences, and quickens us in our Duties?
A47528How low should we lie every one of us, and labour to find out the plague of his own Heart; and to smite on our Breasts, and say, What have I done?
A47528I know not the Lord; I am the Soveraign Lord of Egypt, and I own no other Superiour here; What Lord hath Authority and Power over me, to command me?
A47528If God had not a perfect knowledge of all things, how could he govern the World?
A47528Is it not for a deliverance from our Miseries, rather than from our Iniquities?
A47528Is it not, because those two things have been, as it were, the Idols of England, or of Multitudes among us?
A47528It should not be, What Air, or what Earthly Profit may I find there, where I am going?
A47528Know assuredly, That none Teaches like God: What is Man''s teaching?
A47528Moreover, what Errors and detestable Heresies do abound among us?
A47528O what horrid Pride, Uncleanness, Oaths and Blasphemy, and all Prophaneness do we see and hear of every day?
A47528O where is the Life and Power of Religion?
A47528Shall I not run my self into Temptations by doing it?
A47528Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do Right?
A47528There is no Wisdom nor Understanding nor Counsel against the Lord: What Encouragement is here to seek to God?
A47528Thirdly, How we should acknowledge God, or after what manner he found in this Duty?
A47528Thus reason with thy Self; say, Shall I consult with Flesh and Blood, and gratifie my Corrupt part?
A47528VVho gave Jacob to the Spoil, and Israel to the Robbers?
A47528VVill it not offend God, or stumble my weak Brother?
A47528What Heavenly Comfort do we meet with, or have we met with at one time more than at another?
A47528What signifies a few formal Prayers, whilst men hold fast their sins?
A47528What was that good?
A47528When you fasted and mourned,& c. did you( saith the Lord) fast unto me?
A47528Who shall say to him, What dost thou?
A47528Will it turn to the Glory of God?
A47528Will this remove make for the profit of my precious Soul?
A47528Would they have God to Patronize their wickedness?
A47528and what a famous Judge and Ruler did God make him to be?
A47528but is the Gospel Preached there, in the Purity of it?
A47528can I have communion with godly Christians there?
A47528or, Bless such that God doth Curse?
A47528or, Is it not rather for Corn, Wine, and Oyl, that we cry to God this day?
A47528or, Will not my Spiritual Loss be more than my Earthly gain?
A47528perhaps she was fair, but he consulted not with God: but, How well did Abraham''s Servant succeed, in obtaining a Wife for Isaac, his Master''s Son?
A47528so in the other case; say, Will not more snares attend that Calling I am about to enter upon?
A45500''T is the character of the wicked to say, Who is Lord over us?
A45500''t is thy worship, and is it iniquity to Worship God?
A455003. oh my People, what have I done unto thee, and wherein have I wearied thee?
A45500And indeed what does Religion teach you if it does not teach you this piece of morality?
A45500And these things are good for others too; how advantagious and beneficial to the World are Justice and Mercy?
A45500And what can more commend it to us to be the Book of our daily Converse and Meditation?
A45500Be as just in your word, as true to your promise, as exact in your dealings as you would have others to be?
A45500But on the contrary does not the whole of my proceedings with you testifie for me?
A45500Did the Heathens of old, and do they still at this day know it and art thou a stranger to it?
A45500He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good, and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God?
A45500Hereupon they move the Prophet with this Question, Wherewithal shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A45500I shall close this with that sentence of the Scribe, Mark 12. Who having asked our Lord, Which is the first commandment of all?
A45500If therefore the Question be in what way is the justice of God satisfied for sin?
A45500Is it such a Fast that I have chosen?
A45500Is it to how down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
A45500Is that good that is amiable and lovely?
A45500Is that good that is pleasant and delightful?
A45500Or is that good that is profitable?
A45500Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul?
A45500Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
A45500To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?
A45500What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul?
A45500What shall we do to avert them?
A45500What then is the Fast that God has chosen?
A45500What?
A45500Whereas many say, Who will shew us good?
A45500Who does not see what need there is of Fasting, of Prayer and Humbling our selves before the Lord?
A45500and again, Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice?
A45500are not your ways unequal?
A45500can you mend your selves by changing your Lord?
A45500hast thou not requir''d these things?
A45500hath the Lord as great delight in sacrifices as in obedience?
A45500have I been unmindful of you or wanting to do you good?
A45500how much do they conduce to the good order of it?
A45500how sweet are the influences that they diffuse amongst all persons?
A45500in what way and upon what account is God reconcil''d to Sinners?
A45500oh house of Israel, are not my ways equal?
A45500or wherein can you fault my conduct and providence towards you?
A45500q. d. what have I commanded you, that you should count my service a Burden?
A45500saith the Lord; I am full of burnt offerings,& c, To what purpose, Lord?
A45500shall I count them pure with the wicked balances and with the bag of deceitful weights?
A45500what so lovely as ho liness?
A45500who is not the better for them?
A45500who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
A45500wilt thou call this a Fast, and an acceptable day unto the Lord?
A30672And well may we demand, Where is this great beauty that so descends to the very feet?
A30672And what success doth the Apost''l promise?
A30672But in all that I have spoken to this too necessary purpose, how short am I falen of the requires of my Text?
A30672But to Faith what could have be''n more incongruos?
A30672But to question their whole interest in Christ, whether they be Children or Enemies to God?
A30672Can any thing be more worth our Consideration?
A30672Christ again deposeth himself from his Majesty, and creepeth to his rebellios subjects like a petitioner, begging in most humb''l manner( what?
A30672Christ, or Epicurus?
A30672Do we conclude them neer of kin, bieause they wear the same surname?
A30672Do ye say, that he offereth salvation only to a few Elect?
A30672Doth not this offer salvation by that handl which but now he rejected?
A30672Examin your selvs, whether you be in the saith, prove your own selvs, know you not that Christ is in you except ye be reprobates?
A30672Fear( we know) is no friend to Love; and why shall we believ that Grief which issueth from the One, must be our best mediator to the Other?
A30672Hath age withered it to a deformity equal to its youthful loveliness?
A30672How beautiful are what?
A30672How doth the Apost''l travel to bring forth an expression suitab''l?
A30672How shall they preach except they be sent?
A30672If they prevail not, then are they treated by the impenitent, as our Lord was by the Devils: What have we to do with thee?
A30672Is it, thou shalt be frighted at thy danger, and confounded with thy guilt?
A30672Is not Repentance the first step to Conversion?
A30672Must Masters also treat their Servants with Fear and Trembling?
A30672Not tedios in the Performance: for it can not( sure) require much skill, time, or labor, to search whether I love or no?
A30672Objection, What then?
A30672Our Apost''l, after his so great boast of the Galatians love, quickly complains, Where is the blessedness you spoak of?
A30672The question therefor between Atheism and Religion, is not whether Fear shall be cast out or no?
A30672They who in such small maters submit to their Governors, or they who disturb the peace of the Church?
A30672We have therefore nothing to enquire but this, Who best conform to this Rule?
A30672What can we expect, but contrary causes must produce contrary effects?
A30672What other spirit but that of Fear could thus confound mens understandings?
A30672What progress they make?
A30672What reason have we to believe that Attrition will bring us to Contrition?
A30672What then?
A30672What?
A30672Why must wee needs make our first addresses to Grief of either kind?
A30672and is not Repentance, Grief?
A30672art thou com''n to torment us?
A30672but whether of the two doth it most effectually?
A30672doth not a Servant please both God and his Master better, if he Obey him with Love and Chearfulness?
A30672must we not fear God as our Savior admonisheth?
A30672must we think any sin litl?
A30672not what we have already do''n, but what we are about to do?
A30672or can we be too fearful of the least?
A30672that they would not again destroy him?
A30672the Lips, the Eyes, the Countenances?
A30672the first glance discovereth the contrary; the Question proper to Them is this, Whether it be better to continu in That state, or com out of it?
A30672which is not Less but More, than whether we be in the state of Grace, or no?
A30672without who''s help they can not hope for pardon, and by who''s help they are secure of it?
A63913Are they able to demonstrate that there is no God?
A63913Because you ca n''t perceive how it can be made out of Nothing: Why do you not also think your self Eternal?
A63913But is the Chair of Scorners at last prov''d the only Chair of Infallibility?
A63913But what puts the Senses in the way and method to correct themselves?
A63913But whether the will to write, or the will to forbear, come upon him according to his will, or according to any thing else in his own power?
A63913But you will say, I ● it not impossible to admit of the making any Thing out of Nothing, since we can not possibly conceive it?
A63913Do not those in Bedlam think themselves wiser than others?
A63913Do they hope to slip beyond the Bounds of his Power, by falling into Nothing when they dye?
A63913Do they think that we are all become such Fools to take Scoffs for Arguments, and Railery for Demonstration?
A63913First, I would ask them, whether they imagine that all Matter, every Particle of Matter thinks?
A63913For example, My right hand writes, whilst my left hand is still, what causes Rest in one, and Motion in the other?
A63913I asked the Gentleman how he would come to know their proper Places and Insertions?
A63913If he had, or had not a full Conviction of the Soul''s Immortality?
A63913If these Men were capable of Counsel, I would ask them whether they are absolutely sure that they are in the right?
A63913If this Answer satisfies not,''t is plain the meaning of the Question, what determines the Will?
A63913Let Mechanism here make an Experiment of its Power, and produce a spiral and turbinated Motion of the whole moved Body without an External Director?
A63913Let therefore the Imagination be never so strong, the Confidence never so great, the Intent never so good, the Question is, whence is this?
A63913Matter must be allowed Eternal: Why?
A63913Must those be the Standard of Mankind, who seem to have little lest of Humane Nature, but laughter and the shape of Men?
A63913Now as it not more reasonable to ascribe the constant observance of these Rules, to an Intelligent Being, than to Chance or no Cause?
A63913Now what can be more expressive of two several perceptive Souls in Man, whose Natures and whose Laws are contrary to each other?
A63913Quae Religio?
A63913Secondly, If all Matter do not think, I next ask, Whether it be only one Atom that does so?
A63913Should a Jest or a foolish Witticism be of more weight than the Dictates of common Sense and sound Reason?
A63913Si vult& potest, quod solum Deo convenit, unde ergo Mala?
A63913The Question therefore is not, Whether a Man be not a free Agent?
A63913To the Question, what is it determines the Will?
A63913What he thought of the Christian Religion?
A63913When did Imagination give Life to a Fly, or do the least act out of it self?
A63913Whether he conceived his Mind to be now as clear, as active, and as vigorous as it had been some few days before his Ilness?
A63913Who knoweth the Spirit of Man that goeth upward, and the Spirit of the Beast that goeth downward to the Earth?
A63913Why former Heroes fell without a Name?
A63913Why not their Battles told by lasting Fame?
A63913aut cur illa non tollit?
A63913aut ea quae vix summâ Ingenij ratione comprehendat, nulla ratione moveri putet?
A63913if they thought of these things, without being told, why may not others do so too?
A63913into what is it resolved?
A63913or on what account do we frequent any Places, either of Publick or Private Worship?
A63913or to sue out Prohibitions in the Court of Heaven to hinder the Effects of Justice there?
A63913that is to say, whether he can write or forbear, speak or be silent, according to his will?
A63913upon what doth it rest?
A63913what Evidence doth the Person bring of his Mission from God?
A63913what doth he produce more than what may be the fruit of Imagination?
A87056Are you Christians or Infidels?
A87056Can there be no medium in your mirth and chearfull repasts, below this sinne of Dishonour, Beastly, and Debaucht behaviour?
A87056Do you professe to worship God, or Mahomet?
A87056Do you think you have no souls to save, nor to lose?
A87056How can you be saved if you will not come unto him that you may have life?
A87056How canst thou call on the Name of that God in the time of calamity and distresse, which thou hast so often cursed and blasphemed?
A87056How canst thou expect that blood to expiate thy sins, and to wash away thy iniquities, that hath so often spit his blood and wounds out of thy mouth?
A87056How sad would it be to us, if we heard the sad cryes in Torment?
A87056How shall you believe on him of whom you have not heard?
A87056If such a judgment be threatned against such as keep not this day; what must be the fearful looking for of Judgment by the profaners of it?
A87056In the morning he set out, and not yet out of the Tovvnes end, one met him, and said, What David, to day, to day?
A87056Is it not a sad thing, to see men drown body and soul together?
A87056Is not the Lords Name as the Apple of his ● e?
A87056Is not this a sad case to be in a Christian Common- wealth?
A87056Is refraining from labour a toil to us?
A87056Is to be eased of sin a burden?
A87056It must be presumed, thou knowest ● to be a sin; How inexcusable then ● st it be unto thee, whose consci ● ● ce is convinced thereof?
A87056Jesus said, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all Galileans, because they suffered such things?
A87056Lord then let me be burdened?
A87056May I not wish, that Drunken ● esse were a sin rare in the Island of Britain?
A87056Or canst thou expect any blessing upon thy outward estate, when it is in the power of God to dispose of life, being, health, estate, and all?
A87056Seneca Who hath woe?
A87056Shall a Trumpet be blowne in the City, and the people not be afraid?
A87056These are sad examples of Gods Severity and Justice, Who can stand before a consuming fire?
A87056What art thou guilty of that occasions this sin?
A87056What if some have no other living?
A87056What is a more unspeakable mercy, than for souls to have communion with God, as well as our own hearts?
A87056What profit have you of those things wherein one day you shall be ashamed?
A87056What zeal was here in Heathens against this odious sin?
A87056Who hath sorrow ● who hath contention?
A87056Who will not say this was a sad and immediate hand of the Lord?
A87056Would not such ingratitude look odious in vulgar friendship?
A87056how can you hear without a Preacher?
A87056how many destroyed by ● violent death?
A87056is it not the worst of judgements?
A87056let them be examples to you; will not the wrath of God revealed stand in our way, and encompasse us about with terrour and fear?
A87056that at night Gods protection should leave us, as in our graves, when we are in our beds?
A87056the question is, can they live no otherwise, than by making men drunk?
A87056what need then to strike at the root of iniquity?
A87056which is accompanied with so great tokens of Gods sore displeasure?
A87056who would not dread the Issue?
A87056who wound without cure?
A87056will not the Patience, Goodnesse, and Long- suffering of God, lead us to repentance?
A87056would not this swell provocation to the greatest latitude of revenge?
A26935And can you tell how great a crime this is?
A26935And do not the Consciences of the Damned grind and tear them for the contempt of Goodness, and setting against mercy, even mercy to themselves?
A26935And do you not know that to deny any one of the three, yea to deny the perfection of any one of them, is to deny that there is any God?
A26935And doth not the proper Goodness of a means consist in its aptitude to promote the End?
A26935And have you not the like occasion to argue against his other perfections?
A26935And is he not the first cause?
A26935And is not that means the Best, which is aptest to the End?
A26935And is there not necessarily an Imperfection in all that is not God?
A26935And tell me, what if but the wills of all the poor, the pained, the dying,& c. were but reconciled to their suffering- state?
A26935And that his Goodness( though not as to be measured by humane Interest) is equal to his Wisdom and his greatness?
A26935And that they are none of them greater or less than other?
A26935And what Grace or happiness can there be without the Love of God?
A26935And yet that there are Toads, Serpents, Darkness, Death, Sickness, pains,& c. which therefore are no whit inconsistent with his Goodness?
A26935Are not all effects from their causes?
A26935Are you well acquainted with the nature and degrees of the future miseries which tempt you to think that God is cruel?
A26935But God foreknoweth, e. g. Judas sin, Therefore it will certainly come to pass) And what of all this?
A26935But can a Child of God be possibly guilty of so great a sin as this?
A26935Could he give more goodness than he had to give?
A26935Did it make it self?
A26935Do not all men in the World confess Gods Goodness first or last?
A26935Do you not know that Power, Wisdom and Goodness are Gods Three essential Principles of Operation, Virtues, or Properties?
A26935Doth not the admirable harmony of all the world, and his wonderful work in every Creature, prove his incomprehensible Wisdom?
A26935For who can expect that any man should be better than his Maker; and that he should have any Good, which denyeth God to be Good?
A26935Hath God made a world that is better than himself?
A26935I say after all this, have any of these persons cause to complain, that God dealeth not mercifully with them?
A26935I say, this, be one that instead of praising God with the raptures of continual Joy, shall turn his accuser?
A26935If God made man and all things, Did he not make them for himself, for the pleasure of his own will?
A26935If he be better than all, is he not most beyond accusation or exception?
A26935Is it any better than a denying that there is any God?
A26935Is it necessary to ● his end, or to prove Gods Goodness that all Individuals, or species of Creatures must be of the highest rank or excellency?
A26935Is it not a plain act of malice against God and us?
A26935Is it not certain that there is a world, in which is abundance of Created Goodness?
A26935Is not all the Goodness of the whole Creation communicated from God?
A26935Is not that a contradiction?
A26935Is not that best, that is best to the order, beauty, and usefulness of the universal frame?
A26935Is the Goodness of a King to be judged of by the Interest of Murderers in the Goal?
A26935Must be not needs in reason be the end of all, who is the Beginning and cause of all?
A26935Must not God necessarily excell his works?
A26935Must not he needs be better than all his works?
A26935No Scripture or Reason telleth us whether Sun or Moon, Starrs and intermediate Aether, be inhabited or not?
A26935O man into what distraction and confusion art thou faln, when thou departest from thy God and sinkest into that blind and wretched self?
A26935Shall they, that will not accept of life and mercy offered them, accuse him as cruel that importuneth them to accept it?
A26935Shall this person?
A26935They are not all of one degree; What if much of them be still voluntary to the miserable souls?
A26935What mind can be so black, as to deny all Created Goodness?
A26935When as there could neither be any of these, nor any world or being, if there were no God?
A26935Who can Love him whom he believeth to be bad, and so unlovely?
A26935Who is wise?
A26935Would you thus argue or quarrel against Gods Greatness and Wisdom, as you do against his Goodness?
A26935and he shall understand these things; prudent?
A26935must he needs make every worm a God?
A26935or must he make any God, or equal to himself?
A26935or rather a higher Demonstration of his Godness?
A26935or rather must it not have that excellency with belongeth to it as a part of the whole, for the common end of all together?
A26935or who else made it?
A26935suspect, did I say?
A26935that so men may hate him and fly from him as they do from Devils?
A26935would that which pleaseth the will be matter of any complaint?
A20960And if he read when he vnderstood not, how much more when he began to vnderstand?
A20960And to say with Dauid: O when shall I present my selfe before Gods face?
A20960Art thou assured that being fallen, thou shalt rise againe?
A20960As for the wicked, God saith vnto him in the 50 Psalme, Wherefore takest thou my words into thy mouth?
A20960Canst thou loue God without following him?
A20960Doth that man loue God, which wil not willingly speake vnto him, nor of him; or who taketh no counsell of God in his distresse?
A20960For a little pleasure mingled with bitternesse, wilt thou trouble the peace of thy conscience?
A20960For a little porttage of herbes, wilt thou neglect thy birth- right?
A20960For what is the life of a faithful man but an issue out of Egypt, a voyage to return home to our father?
A20960For will you loue God, as you ought?
A20960From whence commeth this so sudden change?
A20960He which hath not spared his owne Sonne, but deliuered him ouer for vs, how shall not he giue vs all things with him?
A20960He, without whose prouidēce a sparrow lighteth not on the ground, wold he permit that our soules should fall into hell for lacke of caring for them?
A20960How much more shall the faithfull soule find& feele in the loue of his God?
A20960If God be with vs, who shall be against vs?
A20960If he read being a pagā, how much more being become a Christian?
A20960If he read in his chariot, how much more in his house?
A20960If he reckon our haires, how much more our sighes and our prayers, which hee himselfe hath prescribed vs?
A20960If the crie of dead Abels bloud came vp vnto him; how much more the cry of his liuing childrē, which cal vpon him in the name of Iesus Christ?
A20960If thou thinkest to giue almes, it will softly suggest in thine eare, What know I that I shall haue no need thereof my selfe?
A20960Is this the way to the kingdome of heauen?
A20960It was this degree of loue, which made the Apostle to crie out: Alas miserable man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the bodie of this death?
A20960Let vs likewise say, He that laieth vp our teares, wil not he gather vp our prayers?
A20960Now if God hath cōmunicated vnto vs all his coūsel, as saith S. Paul, Acts 20: shall we make difficultie to let him know ours?
A20960Now if it were a miracle in Israel to see a familie instructed in the feare of the Lord, how much more amongst infidels?
A20960Now to what end all this, but that wee should loue him who hath so much loued vs, and admire with ioy the treasures of his grace?
A20960O death, where is thy victorie?
A20960O graue where is thy sting?
A20960O when shall I present my self before the face of God?
A20960Or that the Apostle S. Paul, labouring with his hands to make tents, of this earthly trauell, tooke occasion to thinke of our heauenly rest?
A20960Our meditation can not chuse a more excellent subiect: for what is there which is greater then God, or more sweete thē his loue?
A20960Shall it be said, that the blessings of God haue rained vpon the sands, without making vs more fruitful of good works?
A20960Shall it be said, that the great viuacity of spirit which God hath giuē you, serueth you but to feele griefe more sensibly?
A20960Shall it not be better to ioy in future good things, which are great and certaine, then to afflict our selues for euils past, which are remediles?
A20960That is to say, if he haue not so much as naturall loue, how can he haue the supernatural?
A20960The onely attention of future glorie, which you apprehend by faith, can it not digest all bitternesse?
A20960Those be good which loue good things; and amongst good things what is there like vnto God?
A20960Time which easeth the most ignorant people of their euils, can not it finish the sighes of a person whom God hath so much enriched with his knowledge?
A20960Wee which heare Pastors which are not receiueable, but so farre forth as they proue their sayings by the word of God?
A20960What then shall the vehemencie be of both these affections, when they shal be mingled both together, and ioyned in one loue?
A20960Where are the promises which thou hast made him?
A20960Wherefore so?
A20960Wherfore wouldest thou grieue the Spirit of God?
A20960Who is that faithfull Christiā, who hath practised this exercise, and hath not felt ease?
A20960Who is that quarreller or theefe, that wil strike or steale in the presence of the Iudge?
A20960Who wil feare hauing such a patron, who not onely maketh intercession for sinners, but of sinners maketh them iust?
A20960Yea euen out of affliction, and in full prosperitie, what sweetnesse& pleasure is there in this communication?
A20960Yea, and in your life time, how many of Gods assistances, how many difficulties happily ouergone?
A20960and for all this, what do we not in Gods sight, the Iudge not onely of our actions, but also of our thoughts?
A20960and if in Ierusalem, how much more in Babylon?
A20960despisest thou his threatnings?
A20960doth not God see this?
A20960forgettest thou thy vocation?
A20960or follow such as do good to their enemies, whilest thou liuest in discord with thy brethren?
A20960or that God hath made you great, that your teares might haue the greater fall?
A20960or who is not touched with the zeale of his glory?
A20960reiectest thou his promises?
A20960was it, that in the midst of his prayer, some good newes arriued, which might allay his griefe?
A20960where is thy mindfulnesse of his benefits?
A20960wherefore wouldest thou bring a scandall vpon his Church?
A44691And I may add, can it be comfortable to us, he should have no other interest in us than he hath in Devils?
A44691And again, ille qui adoptabatur — utrum i d fieri pateretur?
A44691And dare we, who live, move, and have our being in him, refuse to be, live, and move to him?
A44691And first, Let it be considered, Are there no like cases?
A44691And how shall he, while you hold off your selves from him?
A44691And if that were done never so seriously, must one be a Christian alwaies, onely by the Christianity of another, not his own?
A44691And that least should appear of caution, care and punctual dealing, in our very greatest concernment?
A44691And what a reproach do you cast upon him, when you give others occasion to say his own, they that have devoted themselves to him, dare not trust him?
A44691And what are these sanctify''d for, but to be used and exercised?
A44691And what can be to you the ground of an higher fortitude?
A44691And what limit can be set to a love, whose object is infinite?
A44691And who is there of us that finds not himself under sufficient obligation, by the mercies of God, unto all this?
A44691And would you think of any less noble Sacrifice?
A44691Are the Collatine people in their own power?
A44691Are the Collatine people in their own power?
A44691Are there no mercies( confer''d or offered) that do peculiarly oblige us more?
A44691Are we not rescued from a necessity of perishing, and being lost for ever, in the most costly way?
A44691Are we too considerable to be his, or his Mercies too inconsiderable to oblige us to be so?
A44691Are you devoted to God?
A44691As a bridegroom rejoiceth over his bride, so will thy God rejoice over thee) and shall not we?
A44691Can any thing less be thought worthy of a God?
A44691Can men excel God in praise- worthy things?
A44691Can they be unsafe that have devoted themselves to God?
A44691Estisne vos legati Oratoresque missi à populo Collatino, ut vos populumque Collatinum dederitis?
A44691For how unlikely were it, and absurd to suppose, that a man should seriously devote his child to God, that never devoted himself?
A44691For is not the Devil invisible too?
A44691For what else can you doe with your self?
A44691For, let such a One think, what particular reason can I have to exclude my self from such a consenting Chorus?
A44691He that provideth not for his own,( his domesticks) those of his own house, hath deny''d the faith, and is worse than an infidel?
A44691How great a day in a man''s life doth he count his marriage day?
A44691In which it is fit for us to tolerate our selves?
A44691Is it fit that a man''s Religion should be less the matter of his solemn choice, than his inferiour concerns?
A44691Is it reasonable one should be a child and a minor in the things of God and Religion all his daies?
A44691Is that too much?
A44691Is this that God is less conversable with men?
A44691Lord, whither shall we go?
A44691My self?
A44691Or can we think it fit, in it self; we should be no otherwise his, than( as one well saies) Fields, Woods, and Mountains, and brute Beasts?
A44691Or to whom he may not say, in a far more eminent sense, than the Apostle speaks it to Philemon, thou owest even thy self also unto me?
A44691Stand, shall I?
A44691That when he chooses his dwelling, his calling, his servant, or master, he should seem thrown upon his God, and his Religion, by chance?
A44691The one sort, through natural incapacity, can not, by consent, be his?
A44691They have lamented your sin, are you never therefore to lament your own?
A44691They have prayed for you, are you therefore never to pray for your selves?
A44691To have dedicated one self to God, if seriously, and duly done; would it have less power to possess One, with an holy, calm, peacefull temper of mind?
A44691Were we not lost?
A44691What am I?
A44691What an horrid complexion of mind did Cain bear with him hereupon?
A44691What need we, then, do over again, a thing already done?
A44691Wherefore do ye spend your money for that which is not bread?
A44691Which the Apostle''s reasoning implies, He that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
A44691Who?
A44691Why should I spoil the harmony, and give a disagreeing vote?
A44691Why should any One be more willing to be saved than I?
A44691Why should any man be, more willing to be dutifull, and happy than I?
A44691Will we refuse to give God what we owe?
A44691Will you think, he can be like such a One?
A44691You are to discharge your self of all unsuitable cares, for will not he take care of his own, Who hath put so ill a note upon them that do not?
A44691You can not be happy without it, For who should make you so but God?
A44691alwaies in nonage?
A44691and the other, through an invincible malignity, never will?
A44691and to what more noble purpose?
A44691and your labour, for that which satisfieth not?
A44691have you dedicated your selves?
A44691he that was to be adopted, whether he was contented it should be so?
A44691if not the Children of a Prince, should live free from care?
A44691is there no difference in the case of reasonable creatures and unreasonable?
A44691less willing to be found of them that seek him?
A44691or deny the Lord who bought us?
A44691shall I?
A44691theirs who profess devotedness to him, and theirs who are his profest enemies?
A44691to be just to God, or have him good to me?
A54833( that is) to do it by choice and option?
A54833And shall thy weak brother perish for whom Christ died?
A54833And what is that but a respective and conditional Decree?
A54833And why will ye die O house of Israel?
A54833Arminius and Mr. Perkins?
A54833Cur non impletur ejus voluntas?
A54833De arte Lenonum?
A54833De arte Meretricia?
A54833De quâ dicitur, Voluntati ejus quis resistit?
A54833Despisest thou the riches of his goodnesse, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance?
A54833Did he spare the Ninevites in this life, because they were penitents?
A54833Does he decree temporal Iudgements conditionally, because he is pitiful?
A54833Does he lose any praerogative, by being unable to be the Author of sin?
A54833First, if it does, then how can Dives be guilty of that thing, of which Gods absolute Decree is the peremptory Cause?
A54833Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die, and not that he should return from his waies and live?
A54833How doth he expostulate and make his Appeal, whether he had omitted any thing, which might tend to the conversion of a sinful Israel?
A54833How doth he wish that his People had walked in his wayes?
A54833How many Volumes have been written De arte Magica?
A54833I dare not say then( with him in the Comedian, who had been a great sinner) Quid si haec quispiam voluit Deus?
A54833If God is good, and praescient of all the Evil which is to come, and withal able to prevent it, why did he suffer mankinde to fall?
A54833If death is that monster, of which sin is the Dam, that brings it forth, how foul a thing must be the Sire?
A54833If the day is equally born for all, how much rather is Jesus Christ?
A54833In this place I would aske, Was the Angels Defection or Apostasie their sin, or no?
A54833Is God so merciful to bodies?
A54833Is he milde in small things, and severe in the greatest?
A54833Is he so unwilling to inflict the first death, and will he shew his power, his absolute power in the second?
A54833Is his nature the lesse absolute, because it pleases him that his will be conditionall in some things, as it is absolute in others?
A54833Must any man be punisht for doing that which he ought?
A54833Num quid iniquitas est apud Deum?
A54833Or how can that be guilt, which is necessity?
A54833Or if some Texts have two senses, if some Texts are liable to many more, must we needs take them in the worst?
A54833Or is not that rather a very great Argument of his Power?
A54833Pluribus pereuntibus, quomodo defenditur perfecta bonitas?
A54833Quis iste Deus tam bonus, ut ab illo malus ● … iat?
A54833Shall not I spare Nineveh, in which are above 120000 souls, which can not distinguish betwixt the right hand and the left?
A54833Shall we say that we do a thing without liberty and choice, because God worketh in us to will and to do?
A54833Si Deus benus& praescius mali,& potent depellere, cur hominem lab ● … passus est?
A54833Si dies aequaliter nascitur omnibus, quanto magis Christus?
A54833The Question is, whether the Grace of God doth work irresistibly in the Elect?
A54833To this Question, De bonâ voluntate unde sit, si naturâ, cur non omnibus, cùm sit idem Deus omnium Creator?
A54833To what end doth he tread the Serpent down, but that we may have the freedome to trample on him?
A54833Twisse and Bellarmine?
A54833What if some God hath so decree''d it?
A54833Which if he had not resisted, how could he have sin''d?
A54833Who am I, that I should moderate between the Remonstrants and Anti- remonstrants?
A54833Why?
A54833and are not your waies unequal?
A54833and can there be any greater blasphemy, then to bring God''s Providence into the pedegree of Death?
A54833and if it were, how then is God''s Reprobation not only the chief, but the only Cause of such a sin?
A54833and if that measure of Grace was lessen''d before he sin''d, how was the taking away of Grace any punishment of his Fall?
A54833and is he lesse merciful to souls?
A54833and that in meer contradiction to the universal Church?
A54833and wherein his Love doth kisse his Power?
A54833and will he damn them in the next, because they were Heathens, by his peremptory Decree?
A54833and will he decree Eternal ones absolutely, meerly because he will?
A54833betwixt S. Austin and other Fathers?
A54833betwixt him and himself?
A54833betwixt the Dominicans and the Iesuites?
A54833betwixt the Synod of Dort, and that other at Augusta?
A54833but after thy hardnesse and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thy self wrath against the day of wrath?
A54833but when it is said, who hath resisted his will?
A54833ex majore parte cessatrix, paucis aliqua, pluribus nulla, cedens perditioni, partiaria exitii?
A54833for what Reason?
A54833how many Christian professors are now in Hell, who when they were Infants were fit and suitable for Heaven?
A54833how shall I deliver thee, Israel?
A54833how shall I make thee as Admah?
A54833how shall I set thee as Zeboim?
A54833if not, why were they reprobated and cast into chaines of darknesse?
A54833is the liberty lost, because it is guided and enabled to do that which is good?
A54833made in intuition of our being in Christ, and of our being so qualified to be in Christ?
A54833or betwixt Whitaker and Baro?
A54833or how was he then in the state of innocence?
A54833or that their destruction was irrespective, and unconditionall?
A54833si dono Dei, etiam hoc quare non omnibus, cùm omnes homines velit salvos fieri?
A54833why did he not hold him fast by irresistible Grace?
A54833with such others as would blush to be nam''d in English; and dare we say they are decreed, to be Mysteriously wicked?
A54833— Cum singuli ad donarium vocentur, quid est ut quod à Deo aqualiter distribuitur, humanâ interpretatione minuatur?
A664342ly, As to the Passover, he acknowledges they had a Rule, but then he adds ▪ What Rule, had they to determine them to a Kid or a Lamb?
A66434Again, Who in his wits will affirm that men may do what they reasonably judge sinful?
A66434And is not the custom of the Churches of God a reason as sufficient to conclude us in this matter as the grave and Civil customs of a Nation?
A66434And is this nothing toward the proof of it?
A66434And may not this Reverence and Respect we shew to the solemnities of Religion, and the Devotion we shew in external Worship redound to God himself?
A66434And not for his Thus, and the reasons given by him?
A66434And of God- Fathers in Baptism?
A66434And then what becomes of their argument for such and such practices and customs that they were Civil?
A66434And what is Idolatry but the giving Divine honour to that which is not God, or prohibited honour to the true and only God?
A66434As for postures what more scrupled and opposed than Kneeling at the Sacrament?
A66434But First why did not Synagogues want a Special Command as well as the Temple which he contends for?)
A66434But have they only some Forms relating to the Sacrament?
A66434But here let me ask them what it is creates a Decency?
A66434But how began that Prescription, whence arose that consent whether from chance or institution?
A66434But how may he pray naked in Regious assemblies( for we are speaking of publick Worship) can he say it''s sutable to the Solemnity?
A66434But however what hath he to reply to that which hath been many times said?
A66434But in answer to this, he asks, Why are such things express''d to us in this phrase, as, Not Commanded only?
A66434But suppose I am mistaken, how hath he mended the matter?
A66434But was there nothing else determined?
A66434But we read of no order for such Acts on their days of Fasting, were they not therefore Religious?
A66434First, he saith, As to Circumcision, what particular direction had the Jews?
A66434For what is Superstition but the dreading of that which is not to be dreaded?
A66434For what more precarious than to speak doubtfully( If they did) of that which yet is clearly evident they did observe?
A66434Have they nothing but Forms of Prayer, what then thinks he of Anniversary Festivals observed in the Helvetick and Bohemick Churches?
A66434How might they have changed them?
A66434If we take the Phrase as it is, yet there his Question, Why are they thus express''d, and not commanded?
A66434In Answer to this I shall consider what Natural Liberty is, and then what Liberty it is that the Apostle did treat of?
A66434Indeed what are all the outward acts of Reverence but expressing of Homage, Veneration and Adoration to God?
A66434Lastly, Are the things required unlawful because imposed?
A66434Might they do it as Apostolical Persons, or as Private Members of the Jewish Church?
A66434Now let us consider, what are the reasons why he can not possibly agree?
A66434Or rather did they not use them as they found them instituted and observed in the Jewish Church?
A66434Or that can do it?
A66434Or that there could be any Communion with those Churches, if any did otherwise?
A66434Or to ascertain the sense of it, than to shew that it''s always alike applied to such a case, or thing?
A66434Or what is it whence it ariseth, if it be found to be decent?
A66434So the Apostle calls their Table, the Table of Devils?
A66434Suppose then we put it to the question, Is Scripture alone a sufficient Rule for matters to be used in the Worship of God?
A66434Thus: How is that?
A66434Was there no Reason offer''d, no account given of it?
A66434We indeed read of no habit before the Fall, but is there nothing natural to man since the Fall?
A66434What fitter way have we to find out the meaning of a phrase, than to consider the several places where it is used?
A66434What is it that doth make things in themselves lawful and indifferent, to be unlawful in Divine Worship?
A66434What is that to Days and Hours, which the Scripture speaks of, and he contends against?
A66434What is this to the Forms used in their Service, which the Jews do write of?
A66434What of such, that when they grant Things Indifferent to be neither commanded nor forbidden, will yet say, that things not commanded are forbidden?
A66434What then shall we say to Capellus, that saith diverse of them have set Forms of Liturgies?
A66434What then?
A66434What to the Bohemian Churches that have also Forms in Singing of Humane Composure?
A66434What to their Formularies, as those of Holland and Switzerland?
A66434Whether in Case such things are determined, people may, without sin, obey?
A66434Whether in Case they make any such Law, the people may, without sin, obey them?
A66434Whether it be Lawful to separate from a Church upon the Account of promiscuous Congregations, and Mixt Communion?
A66434Whether the doing of any thing in the Worship of God without a command be a sinful addition to the Word of God?
A66434Whether there be any Authority in Church or State, to determine the things which God hath left Indifferent to his people?
A66434Whether things in their own nature Indifferent, though not prescribed in the Word of God, may be lawfully used in Divine Worship?
A66434Who ever affirmed it?
A66434Will those reasons justifie those very hours of the day, or the just number of three hours?
A66434b But in my mind there is a much nearer way to end controversies, which is not by disputing who shall be Judge?
A66434enquiry in the Tract aforesaid was, How we are to determine our selves in the use of Indifferent Things in the Worship of God?
A66434where is it?
A30629& c. To whom can all this agree, but to Christ?
A30629''T was but an Apple, no more that God denyed him, and would he run the hazard of Divine Displeasure, and Expose his own Eternal Happiness for That?

A30629And what is that Law?
A30629And wherein now in point of Goodness, or of Justice, is he wanting or Defective?

A30629And why?
A30629But it may be, you will say, But why so much Haste then?
A30629But what is the Law for the wicked?
A30629But why Eternal Punishments?
A30629But you will ask me, why doth God Appropriate Vengeance?
A30629But you will say, here is a kind of Trinity indeed, but of what Relation to the Christian?
A30629Can any thing be more Express, or more full, than is the Declaration which he makes in favour of the Penitent?

A30629For else, what mean all their Rites of Expiation and Lustration?
A30629For what belief is more agreeing to the Christian Doctrine, or more Orthodox than this?
A30629For what expression can be more significant and full, than that of Iohn?
A30629For who but God- man could dare to go between God and man?
A30629Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should dye?
A30629Hear now, O house of Israel, is not my way equal?
A30629How agrees this with Infinite and Eternal Goodness?
A30629How can that be dost thou say?
A30629How long shall God await and expect?
A30629I answer, God makes it, who dealeth not alike to all; and do you further ask me, Why he dealeth not alike to all?
A30629I pray Sir consider Rahab the Harlot, and what kind of Faith it was for which she has the Honour of a Monument unto this day?

A37987Are we presently apprehensive of the Earth''s shaking never so little under us?
A37987Art not thou he, O Lord God?
A37987But I ask, why might not these be of Primitive ordering?
A37987But what is this to the changing the very Situation and Posture of the Earth?
A37987But where God and Nature are not sparing, why should we be?
A37987Can a Man perswade himself that the light Trepidation of this Element can be felt, and yet the rapid Circumvolution of it can not?
A37987Can the most hardned Atheist perswade himself that these things were by chance, or from mere Matter moved?
A37987Doth not the Troublesome Existence of these Creatures prove rather a Carelessness in the Divine Management than a Provident Care of the World?
A37987For what is the Sea but that great Heap of Waters which was gather''d together by God''s Omnipotent Fiat at the Creation of the World?
A37987For where should we fix its Throne, but in that Place where there is the original of all Sense and Motion?
A37987Hast thou not poured me out as Milk, and curdled me like Cheese?
A37987He might have said, so many Seas hanging in the Air?
A37987How are those Flames fed?
A37987How came they to escape crushing in their falling down and subsiding, which he supposeth?
A37987How can a Wise Providence be proved from the Existence of such Creatures, as Foxes, Otters, Weesels, Pole- Cats, Rats and Mice?
A37987How curious is the Architecture?
A37987How fine and delicate a Thread doth it spin?
A37987How frequent is David on this Theme, extolling God''s Providence in respect of the Creatures, the Heavens and Earth, Living and Inanimate things?
A37987How is it proved hence that the First Earth had another Situation to the Sun, and had a perpetual Equinox and Spring?
A37987How many Evils and Mischiefs would follow upon it?
A37987How wonderfully artificial is the Spider''s Web or House, as''t is call''d in the Hebrew, Iob 8.14?
A37987If Men were alike in Face as Sheep and some other Animals, what a strange Confusion would be in the World?
A37987If a Man should be ask''d why Bays or Lawrel- leaves rather than others crackle in the Fire?
A37987If it should be asked why the Cock rather than any other Fowl gives warning of the Sun''s appearing, and crows before it rises?
A37987If the Foot shall say, because I am not the Hand, I am not of the Body; is it therefore not of the Body?
A37987If the whole Body were an Eye, where were the hearing?
A37987If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
A37987If then they hold this, I ask why this Motion also which they speak of is not perceived by us?
A37987If this were so, how comes it to pass that the Shells( which he often speaks of) remain still?
A37987If you ask why the Lives of such Men are not always Good; yea, why they do not excel?
A37987It is not without cause that they are thus and thus shap''d, and not otherwise: and whence is this but from a Divine Author?
A37987It may be said, Are there not many Useless and Superfluous Animals in the World?
A37987Just so the Earth turns it self round to the Sun, to roast it self, and who would expect any other thing?
A37987Must we therefore deny that there is any at all?
A37987Now, is it not more likely that the Earth moves than that these vast Bodies move from Place to Place?
A37987Now, whence can this so neat, so commodious, so exact Architecture proceed but from a Divine Director?
A37987Or take it more largely in the Words of Mr. Cowley''s Muse, What senseless Miser by the Gods abhorr''d Would covet more than Cocus doth afford?
A37987Or, is a thing sensible, and yet not the Object of Sense?
A37987Shall an Inanimate Machine be extoll''d as the effect of Art and Invention, and yet shall the Artificer himself be voted to be from no such Principle?
A37987They were not against Physicians, but Pretenders to the Art( and who indeed is not against them?)
A37987This is not to be believ''d, and why therefore do any take the Confidence to assert the Earth''s moving under them when they have no Sense of it?
A37987This is that puzzling Problem which the wise Man starts, How the Bones grow in her that is with child?
A37987Vis Deum Mundum ● ocare?
A37987What are the Heavens in comparison of this Glorious Creature?
A37987What is the Brightest Constellation in respect of the Organiz''d Fabrick of Humane Bodies?
A37987What is the Sun if compar''d with the Rational Soul of Man?
A37987What is the reason( say they) that such great Numbers of these Persons have so little Sense of a God in their Lives?
A37987What tho our shallow Understandings can not guess at the Purpose and Project of Heaven?
A37987What words shall I use, saith † Plutarch, to express sufficiently the Diligence of the Pismires?
A37987When he views the strange Conveyances, the greater and lesser Chanels and Conduits for the Liquors and Juices contained in it?
A37987Whence is it that they are not spent and exhausted?
A37987Whence is there such an Abundance of things made as''t were to support our Luxury?
A37987Wherefore it was St. Augustine''s devout Query, Quis disposuit membra culicis& pulicis?
A37987Who admires not the singular Hand of the Almighty in the Ebbing and Flowing of this huge Mass of Waters?
A37987Who can give Credit to that Romantick Solution of the French Phi ● osopher?
A37987Who can sufficiently admire this when he beholds the Variety of the Structure, the Diversity of the Workmanship?
A37987Who hath disposed and set in order the several Joints and Members of a Gnat or a Flea?
A37987Who hath given them that excellent Contexture of Parts?
A37987Who is not ravish''d with the excellent Shape, Colour and Smell of the Plants and Flowers which a choice Garden is stock''d with?
A37987Who is not sensible that Thunder is the more signal Operation of a Divine Cause, and therefore is so frequently call''d God''s Voice?
A37987Who knoweth not in all th ● se that the Hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
A37987Who made these Beautiful Objects in the World but Beauty it self?
A37987Who therefore can deny that this is more sensible than that?
A37987Why do some of them profess an Indifferency as to Religion, and scarcely acknowledge the Author of it?
A37987Why may we not hold that these Strata were originally so disposed?
A37987Why were they not dissolved?
A37987Yea, how can he be so impudent as to say that Man himself was but a By- blow?
A37987Yea, how come they to be in the very same Figure and Shape that they had at first, and to have no alteration?
A37987Yea, is there not a great Number of Hurtful and Mischievous Creatures on the Earth, and in the Air, and''t is likely in the Waters too?
A37987Yea, why do some endeavour to expel both of them out of the World, and to introduce Atheism, Scepticism and Prophaneness?
A37987how thin and soft a Web doth it weave?
A37987nonne auctorem suum parentémque testatur?

A37987† Quid mirabilius aquis in coelis stantibus?
A37987† Unde h ● ● e innumerabilia oculos, aures,& animam mulcen ● ia?
A37987† Whence comes it to pass, saith Seneca, that there is such a Multitude of Grateful Objects in the Universe, which ravish our Ears, Eyes and Minds?
A52424All the remaining Difference therefore lies in this Question, whether Sin be the only Evil?
A52424And can not I thus love GOD only, and my Neighbour too, and so fulfil both Commands?
A52424And does not GOD comprehend all possible Good, is he not the very Fountain and sole Author of it?
A52424And having once tasted of this true and only satisfying good, is it possible that it should desire or relish any thing besides him?
A52424And how can the Will be moved towards all good but by being moved towards a universal Being who in himself is and contains all good?
A52424And how shall a Man repent for his Sin?
A52424And if of Pain, why not of Grief?
A52424And if they have, Concealment is their wisest Choice, since they shall be sure to find more Envy than Encouragement?
A52424And indeed with what Line could the Apostle measure such an immense Vastness?
A52424And indeed, what can be so destructive to the Love of our Neighbour as these Desires?
A52424And must not that then be an Evil that is contrary to Happiness?
A52424And now Sir I have done; for what have I further to add, since I can not sufficiently express how much I think my self obliged to you?
A52424And suppose them as present and as kind as we can wish them, shall we not be as sick of our Fruitions as we were of our Desires?
A52424And why then should it be thought such a Stretch of the Love of God to make it intire and exclusive of all other Loves?
A52424And would we present him with less?
A52424Are these Thoughts worthy of GOD?
A52424Besides, does not the Command sufficiently explain it self?
A52424But I suppose you wo n''t say I am obliged to him for all this, or that I ought to desire those Injuries, or admit him to my Bosom who offers them?
A52424But I suppose your meaning is, whether we may not by the same way of arguing prove, that what causes Pain is not at all the Object of Love?
A52424But besides, does not the Scripture always express our Love towards our Neighbour as a Love of Benevolence only?
A52424But can GOD in any sense be said to be the Author of this Pain?
A52424But does not Reason plead as much for the Lawfulness of desiring one Creature as another?
A52424But does not our Conscience secretly reproach us when we do so?
A52424But now how can the Will be moved towards good in general but by being moved towards all good?
A52424Can not I desire but one thing only in the World, and yet at the same time wish well to every thing else?
A52424Can we love God too much, or Creatures too little?
A52424Does it ever describe it by want of Desire?
A52424For if they are not true and proper Causes of our sensations, what else can they be but Conditions serving to determine the Agency of him who is so?
A52424For what but willing an Evil to a Man can be contrary to wishing well to him?
A52424For what can Nature desire but a Supply of all her Wants, and a Union with the Fonntain of all Felicity?
A52424For what can be too difficult to do to acquire a more perfect Enjoyment of what we love?
A52424For what have we to do, what is it that deserves to be the Business of rational Creatures but to adore and love their Maker?
A52424For what is there in the Creature but Emptiness, Vanity and Vexation?
A52424For where is the Glory of excelling those who have little or no Excellency in them?
A52424For who else should either have Power or Knowledge to new modifie our Beings, but he who made them and perfectly understands them?
A52424From whence then does this Absurdity arise?
A52424Hath he not taken all the Care that is consistent with the Nature he hath given us to secure us from it?
A52424Have you indeed been affected with my Letters?
A52424He does not say how can I expose my self to the Hazzard of Discovery, the Pain of Repentance, and all the evil Effects and Punishments of Sin?
A52424He may — what shall I say?
A52424How hard is it to drive us to our Felicity, how difficult to convince us of our Happiness?
A52424How often do we force the Almighty to deprive us of these dear Idols that have usurped our Hearts?
A52424How often will the Objects of our Love be wanting?
A52424How often will the Objects of our Love be wanting?
A52424How often will they be unkind?
A52424How will it gratifie that which they call Wit, but is more truly ill Nature, to find so much Matter to work on?
A52424If a Body have no Worth, to what End should they expose themselves, and bring their Weakness to the Light?
A52424If he be guilty of a little Mistake or Inadvertency( and who is secure therefrom?)
A52424If he be the Cause of our Happiness, why can not he be as well the Cause of our Misery?
A52424Ioseph''s Expostulation in my Mind is very emphatick: How can I do this great Evil and sin against GOD?
A52424Is it not enough to wish and do well to them?
A52424Is the Heart of Man too great a Sacrifice for a God, though it were intirely offered and wholly burnt and consumed at his Altar?
A52424O divine Love whither art thou fled, or where art thou to be found?
A52424Of what Law?
A52424Or rather does he not deserve infinitely more than we or any of his Creatures can bestow upon him?
A52424Or to be ravished with harmonious Numbers when they briskly strike his Ear?
A52424Or would you try to bring your self off by your Distinction of the superiour and inferiour Part of the Soul?
A52424Then as to his moral State, must not the Life of such an one needs be as innocent and virtuous as''t is pleasant and happy?
A52424Though he has obtained his Object, has he satisfied his Desire?
A52424What but he who made it can replenish and content it?
A52424What can an infinite good be loved too much, or is any Degree of Love too high for him who is infinitely lovely, and who infinitely loves himself?
A52424What can be too hard to suffer for the sake of that Object that hath won our Heart?
A52424What is it but Desire that creates those Jealousies and Disquiets which sometimes creep into this refined Affection?
A52424What think you then will the Beaux Esprits discover?
A52424What''s the reason that we do not all seek for good there, and there only, where we all acknowledge it does in the most eminent manner reside?
A52424Whatever it is, I am sure it ought to be so: For who can forbear to admire Beauty when plainly represented to his Eye?
A52424When the Fruition of Beauty, and Harmony, and Goodness in the Abstract are offered to him?
A52424Where can it quench its insatiable Thirst but in this inexhaustible Ocean of Delight?
A52424Whither then can the Will possibly move but towards him?
A52424Who is so dull as not to desire what is lovely, and relish what is good?
A52424Why then do we relish any other Pleasure?
A26344A burning wrath; as the Originall hath it; How long wilt thou smoak against the prayer of thy people?
A26344Alas, what can quiet that soul, which is distracted with such legions and multitudes of thoughts, and throngs of sorrowes?
A26344Alas, what hope is left us, when God is angry at Prayer?
A26344And shall thy Jealousie burne like fire?
A26344Are we all in the transgression, and do we lay the burden of repentance upon some few?
A26344Are we full of griefe within, and find no vent but by the groanes and tears of repentance?
A26344Are we haunted with temptations, hurried with persecutions?
A26344Are we troubled with the wants and miseries of this life?
A26344Bee these imputations, thus charged upon me, true or false?
A26344But alas, how terrible is his anger?
A26344But how then doth the Prophet say, that he retaineth not anger?
A26344But more, Be there not some Afflictions, that conduce much to our preservation?
A26344Consider, when had Jacob so sweet a nights rest, as when the pillow he laid his head upon was a hard stone?
A26344Did he now follow the suggestions of that corrupt nature, which lay in his bosome, and whispered to him on his pillow; Curse God and die?
A26344Do we sinke under the burden of our transgressions?
A26344Doth this humble prostration provoke fury?
A26344For the measure; r Hath he plagued Israel, as he hath plagued the enemies of Israel?
A26344Forthe time ▪ o Doth the ploughman plough all the day to sow?
A26344God is long patient before he grows angry; why should he not be long angry before he be appeased?
A26344Have not the best men been traduced?
A26344He hath commanded us to pray, and will he be offended with us for doing his command?
A26344He hath commended to us Prayer, as the only means to asswage his anger: and yet is hee angry at our Prayer?
A26344He is a God that heareth prayer: c O thou that hearest prayer, to thee shall all all flesh come: and does he now reject prayer?
A26344He is not easily provoked, why should he be so easily pacified?
A26344He replies, O ye sons of men, how long will you be rebellious against me?
A26344How did that fugitive Prophet amplifie and aggravate his dangers?
A26344How fondly doth the secure sinner flatter himself, in the conceit of his own happinesse?
A26344How long wilt thou be angry with the people that prayeth?
A26344How wonderfull is the power of prayer?
A26344I will lie hidden in Keilah, or Hachilah; but fear suggests, How if the Ziphites discover me?
A26344I will refuge my self with Achish at Gath: yet what trust is there in Infidels?
A26344If God be angry with them that pray, what will he be with them that do not pray?
A26344If God be sometimes angry at our prayers, how will he brooke our curses?
A26344If he beat back our petitions, how will he take vengeance on our blasphemies?
A26344If he may be so angry with a people that prayeth, what will his wrath do to a people that sweareth?
A26344If we expostulate with God, Lord hath one man sinned, and wilt thou be wrath with the whole Congregation?
A26344If we should not pray, he would then be angry: and when we do pray, is he angry too?
A26344If wee look no further then among the multitude of our thoughts; might we not make a shift to think our selves to hell?
A26344In what a miserable perplexity may wee thinke the heart of this good King all the while?
A26344Is the whole building ruinous, and do we think it a sufficient reparation to patch up one corner of it?
A26344Is the whole garment fowle, and must only the skirts be washed?
A26344It is some favour, when we have the respite to cry, How long, Lord, wilt thou be angry with us?
A26344It is the onely means we have to pacifie him, Prayer: and shall our Prayer anger him?
A26344It was but a crowne which King Solomon wore: but weigh the gold, tell the precious stones, value the richnesse of it; what was it then?
A26344Let me alone; why, what can resist God?
A26344Let thy soul aske thy conscience this question: who did first breake the peace?
A26344Lord, hath one man sinned, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole Congregation?
A26344May he not more justly expostulate with us; Hath the whole Congregation sinned, and is it enough for one man to repent?
A26344None aske their eyes why they weep, or their voices why they lament, or their hands why they wring themselves: but Anima, quare tam tristis?
A26344Nothings be so neer as a man and his soul: Tot a domus duo sunt; the whole houshold is but two: yea, why should they be called two?
A26344O God, what is man, that then art so mindfull of him?
A26344O Lord God of hostes, how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth?
A26344O how epidemicall is that wickednesse, where not one escapeth the corruption?
A26344O how short do all worldly things come of this sufficiency?
A26344O my soul, why art thou disquieted within me?
A26344Our hard hearts are not yet broken with remorse: alas, what should be done to break them?
A26344Outward things may go crosse with us, and yet the peace of the soul remaine sound: but a wounded spirit who can beare?
A26344Peace and wrath are contraries: how should prayer procure peace, when God is angry at prayer?
A26344So long as we continue guilty, it is in vain to cry, O Lord, how long wilt thou be angry?
A26344So that if we expostulate with him, Lord how long wilt thou be angry with us?
A26344So, what shal we say, what shall we do, when God turneth back our prayers?
A26344That his anger may fall upon his owne people, even his peculiar and chosen flock; How long wilt thou be angry with thy people?
A26344That his anger may last a great while: O Lord, how long wilt thou be angry?
A26344That, Plerisque notus, ignotus moriatur sibi?
A26344The ungodly call not upon the Lord: will he not be much more angry with them?
A26344The whole people is guilty of sin, and why for their sins may not God be angry with the whole people?
A26344These be our enemies, where are our friends?
A26344This hath often turned away his wrath, and does it now incense his wrath?
A26344Thus terrible is the anger of God: now what is he angry withall, but sinne?
A26344Turn thine hand upon mine enemies: for thou canst do it with the turning of an hand: Deliver me from the evil man: who is that?
A26344Under whose regiment are all these troubles?
A26344Usque quò Domine?
A26344Was not the best of men, God and man blasphemed?
A26344Wash thy heart from iniquity, that thou maist bee saved: how long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
A26344We are anguished in our bodies with paines and sickness, and are sorry for it: will sorrow heal us, nay wil it not rather hurt us?
A26344We bury our friends, and mourn for them; will mourning restore them to us?
A26344We have provoked him many yeares; and shall not his wrath burn many days?
A26344We look for grace, and a favourable audience of our petitions; but alas, what shall become of us, when God is angry at our very prayers?
A26344We lose our wealth, and sorrow for it; will sorrow recover it?
A26344We will not part with our beloved sinnes, and yet begge the removall of Judgements; will not this dissimulation make God angry with our very prayers?

A26344Would we be so lodged in cold winter nights?
A26344Yea, O man, what is God; that thou art so unmindfull of him?
A26344Yea, against their prayer?
A26344Yea, but what posterity had hee left to enjoy it after him?
A26344a Phinehas prayed, and his anger was pacified: b Aaron prayed, and the plague ceased: and will he now be angry with the people that prayeth?

A13993Thirdly, when men in their hearts say: He shall not raigne ouer vs, who shall controll vs?

A86947And he said anto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this?
A86947And how can Blood witness Salvation, Justification, and the like, seeing the VVater and Blood of Christ was long since spilt upon the ground?
A86947And it grew up with his children; that is, with Christ''s children: Who are those?
A86947And through thy knowledge shall thy weak brother perish for whom Christ died?
A86947And whence had the Seraphim it?
A86947Are you contented to be undone, to lose all that you have and are?
A86947Are you willing to have all burnt up in you by that fiery flame that issueth out of Christs mouth?
A86947Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
A86947Born where?
A86947But do you work with your hands, and set upon some manual calling or other?
A86947But how shall he come?
A86947But of what use?
A86947But shall not he come and reign, with that very flesh and body which he had at Ierusalem?
A86947But some will say, How are the dead raised?
A86947But the righteousness which is of faith, speaketh on this wise: Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?
A86947But we hope you would have us have a livelihood?
A86947But what doth the Father witness of Christ?
A86947But what is a daughter of Hierusalem?
A86947But what is it to seek righteousness, as it were, by the Law?

A86947But what is the righteousness which is by believing?
A86947But what is this live coal?
A86947But what saith it?
A86947But what should I not say in my heart?
A86947But what word?
A86947But when will he come?
A86947But who is it that saith, that Christ is within us?
A86947But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand whon he appeareth?
A86947But why is Christ called the Word of God in Scripture?
A86947But why is God called the Father?
A86947But why is he called the Word of Truth?
A86947But you will ask me, What is that?
A86947But you will ask me, What is the Father?
A86947But, may some say, How can VVater witness Sanctification, washing, cleansing of the soul?
A86947But, may some say, How shall I confess him, when I do not know whether or no he is in me?
A86947But, may some say, How shall we know whether we have a Call to this or to that?
A86947But, may some say, Where is the promise of his coming?
A86947Can you preach twice every day of the week throughout the yeer, without other mens books?
A86947Can you preach, all books being taken away from you save the Bible, at any time when you are desired to do it?

A86947Do you know what you desire, what you ask for?
A86947Do you love it as Christ loves it?
A86947Doth God take care for Oxen?
A86947For want of a feeling of Christ within us, we are ready to say in our hearts, though not with our mouthes, Who shall descend into the deep?
A86947Friends, do ye believe it?
A86947Friends, why do ye not sing and shout for joy, seeing the Lord is within you?
A86947Have none but they a warrant to write?
A86947How confess him?
A86947How do you know that you do not injoy him?
A86947How nigh me?
A86947How shall we live ▪ say they, else?
A86947How?
A86947I shall answer this, by asking another Question: How did Abel, being dead, speak?
A86947If it be so, that Christ is within us, Then let us confess him with our mouthes; this is our duty, to confess him: Whom?
A86947If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather?
A86947If we have sown unto you all spiritual things, is it a great thing, if we shall reap your carnal things?

A86947Is there any thing to be seen or learn''d from her?
A86947Is there any thing to be seen that is worth the seeing, in Egypt, where there is nothing but blackness ▪ darkness, bondage, cruelty, and the like?
A86947Just so, poor souls many times say to God, when he seems to their souls as a man amazed, and as one that can not save them; Why art thou so, Lord?
A86947Let me see you Priests do so: where is there such a spirit as Paul had, among you?
A86947Or I onely and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
A86947Or saith he it altogether for our sakes?
A86947Or saith not the Law the same also?
A86947Or, who shall descend into the deep?
A86947Say I these things as a man?
A86947Say not in thine heart, Who shall descend into the deep?
A86947The Question is this: Who is he that overcometh the world?
A86947The Word is nigh, Whom?
A86947The priests said not, Where is the Lord?
A86947The prophets prophesie falsly, and the priests bear rule by their means, and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof?
A86947The word of faith, which we preach ▪ What word is that?
A86947Then why do you not rejoyce and sing?
A86947These two things following: First, Who shall ascend into heaven?
A86947This is a paradox, a strange thing: how can a man be crucified, and yet live?
A86947Thus saith the Lord, O priests, that despise my name; and ye say, Wherein have we despised thy Name?
A86947To the first, I ask you this: Is all Truth in learned godly men?
A86947VVhat have you seen the Lord, and are alive?
A86947VVhat is that?
A86947VVhat is the glory?

A86947VVhat, a harlot?
A86947VVhat, have you seen the Lord, and are not dead, and are not undone?
A86947VVhen God speaks to a soul, Thou art the man that hast sinned, that hast slain Christ; either he will cry out, VVhat shall I do to be saved?
A86947VVhere?
A86947VVhy, is there any thing to be seen in Babylon, among the Babylonians?
A86947Wait: who knows but that he may come down in a cloud of darkness into your hrarts?
A86947We are ready to speak it in our hearts, though not in our mouthes, Who shall ascend into heaven?
A86947What are these clouds?
A86947What are those?
A86947What care they for offending the Conscience of Gods people?
A86947What cloud?

A86947Where hadst thou it?
A86947Where is it?
A86947Where is the wise?
A86947Where?

A86947Where?
A86947Wherefore?
A86947Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
A86947Who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk thereof?
A86947Who gave it thee?
A86947Who goeth a warfare at his own charges?
A86947Who is that?
A86947Who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof?
A86947Who shall stand when he appeareth?
A86947Why can not you acknowledge it?
A86947Why do you say so?
A86947Why do you say so?
A86947Why is he called the word of faith?
A86947Why should ye fear?
A86947Why shouldst thou seem to be as a man amazed with us, and as a mighty man that can not save us?
A86947Why?
A86947Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar, and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee?
A86947Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
A86947and what is the holy Ghost?
A86947and why the holy Ghost?
A86947and with what body do they come?
A86947is it a great one or not?
A86947is it a truth to your souls?
A86947or in what doth the matter of it consist?
A86947what asking ▪ each other is there amongst them, What is such a Living worth, and such a Living; is it worth any thing?
A86947what is the Son?
A86947what is the reason of it?
A86947where is the disputer of this world?
A86947where is the scribe?
A86947who would not wait, seeing there is no safety in resisting, but in patiently waiting?
A86947why the Son?

A61251A turning to God; Turn ye, turn ye, for why will you die O House of Israel?
A61251After all this, shall we imagine that God hath changed this Precept, which was not Ceremonial, but opposite to Ceremonies?
A61251Against which Conclusion he brings a new Objection thus, Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault?

A61251Are not the Principles of reasoning inbred in Nature, and freely given of God?
A61251Are you now content to enter into this Covenant for your selves and your Posterity, wherein if you fail on your Part, you lose all the Benefit of it?
A61251By himself he called Adam and Eve, and asked first Adam, Hast thou eaten of the Tree whereof I commanded thee thou shouldst not eat?
A61251By the Reasonings in Scripture from what is becoming, God doth assure his unchangeable Justice, Shall the Judg of all the Earth do unjustly?
A61251Can any Creature do more than this Command doth require?
A61251Can any Man pretend that the particular Favours that the Saints have always prayed for from God, were all promised by God?
A61251Can any of these pretend that they have not Power to repent, or believe, seeing the All- sufficient Power of God is offered, if it be not rejected?
A61251Commutative Justice is not competent to God; For who hath given to him that he should repay?

A61251How often doth he shew Mercy to rebellious Israel, remembring Abraham, Isaac and Jacob his Servants, tho by many Generations distant from them?
A61251How unbecoming were it and incongruous to the infinitely blessed and glorious God to express a Lie?

A61251Might he not have made all his Rational Creatures to be infallible?
A61251Must we thence say, Hitherto my Father decrees, and I decree?

A61251O Lord how manifold are thy Works?
A61251Or, why are we bidden to make sure our own Salvation?
A61251Seeing God''s Knowledg is Infinite, it can not be comprehended by any Finite Capacity: Who can search the Almighty to Perfection?
A61251Seest thou how Faith wrought with his Works?
A61251Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
A61251Shall we then think that he acteth now in the same way that he did the first six Days?

A61251Wherefore bath the Lord done this unto this great City?
A61251Why he created but one World?
A61251Why is a Plerophory, or full assurance of Salvation held forth in Scripture, if these be unattainable in this Life?
A61251Why no more Kinds?
A61251Will he always call upon God?
A61251Will they be more glorious than the Devils were before they fell?
A61251and for obtaining Rain when there was no second Cause for it?
A61251and his Hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
A61251and resolve that it is because he is just: And if I yet further inquire, Why is God unchangeably just?
A61251and the Capacity of the like to all his Posterity, if they continued sinless during the time of their Trial?
A61251how unsearchable are his Judgments, and his Way past finding out?
A61251might he not exhort them to accept it?
A61251much less that he should have so many Changes of it?
A61251no more Individuals?
A61251no more Perfections?
A61251of Works?
A61251or was it a brute Way, unbeseeming God?
A61251or, did he express his Purpose to give them?
A61251that is, no Man can resist his Will if he please to soften him: And therefore why doth God complain that so many are hardened?
A61251why hast thou forsaken me?
A268961. Who was it that deprived you of your Friend?
A26896Ah foolish Heart, that hast thought of it[ Where is that place, that Cave or Desert, where I might soonest find thee, and fullest enjoy thee?
A26896Ah my God, how justly mayest thou withhold that Love which I thus undervalue; and refuse that converse which I have first refused?
A26896And are you grieved that your Friends are taken from your griefs?
A26896And can God do any thing injuriously or amiss?
A26896And can we know another better than our selves?
A26896And have I not yet found so much Love and Goo ● ness in thee my dear and blessed God, as to be willing to converse alone with thee?
A26896And how apt to give occasion of such mistakes and cutting censures?
A26896And how apt to give occasion of such offence?
A26896And how little Reason then have Christians to shun such sufferings by unlawful means, which turn to their so great advantage?
A26896And is not Eternity long enough for you to enjoy your Friends in?
A26896And is this the difference between the Love of man and of God?
A26896And now those Prayers are answered in their deliverance: And do you now grieve at that which then you prayed for?
A26896And which of us see not reason to be distrustful of our selves?
A26896And worst of all, a place of sin?
A26896And would you have them under these again?
A26896And would you have your Friends to be as far from Rest as you?
A26896And yet am I so loath to die?
A26896Are they not men, and sinners?
A26896Are you better than David that had an Achitophel?
A26896Are you better than God?
A26896Are you better then Iob, or David, or Christ?
A26896Are you not groaning from day to day your selves?
A26896Are you not prone to overvalue and overlove your Friends?
A26896As Christ said to his Disciples, he ● e in the case of Believing, we may say to our selves in that and other 〈 ◊ 〉 ▪ Do we now Believe?
A26896As not to fail them?
A26896But can you say, you are alone, while you are with God?
A26896But how is he with us?
A26896But perhaps you will say, that this is not easily attained: How shall we know that he is our friend?
A26896But the most desirable Society is no Solitude: Saith Hierom,[ Infinita cremi vas ● itas te terret?
A26896CHristians, expect to be conformed to your Lord in this part of his Humiliation also: Are your friends yet fast and friendly to you?
A26896Can Faith be any thing but Fancy and Presumption, without Thought and Knowledge?
A26896Can I draw near to judgment?
A26896Can I think of dying?
A26896Can I think of everlasting joys in Heaven?
A26896Can holy Walking be preserved and promoted without love?
A26896Can love to God and Christ, and to the invisible State, be kindled, cherished, and continually advanced without Faith?
A26896Can two walk together except they be agreed?
A26896Can you so much miss them for one day, that must live with them to all Eternity?
A26896Can you take pleasure in dwelling with the consuming fire?
A26896Could I not Love, or Think, or Feel at all, methinks I were less dead than now?
A26896Dare you think that there was wanting either Wisdom or Goodness, Iustice or Mercy in God''s disposal of your Friend?
A26896Did not he that gave him you take him from you?
A26896Did you improve your Friends while you had them?
A26896Did you not often joyn in prayer with them, for deliverance from Malice, Calamities, troubles, imperfections, temptations and Sin?
A26896Do we now pray with fervour, and pour out our Souls enlargedly to God?
A26896Do we now rejoyce in the persuasions of the Love of God?
A26896Do you converse with Father or Mother?
A26896Do you mourn that they are taken hence?
A26896Do you not seem to forget both where you are your selves, and where you must shortly and for ever live?
A26896Do you set more by your own enjoying his company, then by enjoying God in perfect blessedness?
A26896Do you so highly value your Friends for God, or for them, or for your selves, in the final consideration?
A26896Do you think it is for the Hurt or the go ● d of your Friend, that he is removed hence?
A26896Doth it not signifie more than the company of all Men in the world?
A26896Doth the VVorld use your selves so well and kindly, as that you should be sorry that your Friends partake not of the Feast?
A26896Hath my Night no Day?
A26896Have any of them, or all, already failed you?
A26896Have you done that for your nearest friend, which God hath done for him and you, and all men?
A26896He answereth them[ Do ye now believe?
A26896He is with us who is Almighty, sufficient to preserve us, conquerable by none?
A26896How apt are we to censure one another, and to misinterpret the words and actions of our Friends?
A26896How easily can Satan let fire on the Tinder which he findeth in the best and gentlest natures, if God permit him?
A26896How excellent a Man was Gregory Nazianzene, and highly valued in the Church?
A26896How highly was Athanasius esteemed?
A26896How know you what great calamity might have befallen your Friend, if he had lived as long as you desired?
A26896How know you what sin your Friend might have fallen into, if he had lived as long as you would have him?
A26896How know you what unkindness to your self, your dearest friend might have been guilty of?
A26896How little cause then have all the Churches enemies to triumph, that can never shut up a true believer from the presence of his God?
A26896How patiently hath he born with me, since I thought he would never have put up more?
A26896I had almost said[ Lord, let me never Love more till I can Love thee?
A26896If God be God to thee, he is All in all to thee; and then should not his presence be instead of all?
A26896If God can not content me, and be not enough for me, how is he then my God?
A26896If it was for God, what reason of trouble have you, that God hath disposed of them, according to his wisdom and unerring Will?
A26896If so, is not this the meerest Remedy for your Disease?
A26896In many and wonderful preservations and deliverances?
A26896In the conduct of his Wisdom, and in a Life of Mercies?
A26896Is his presence nothing to you?
A26896Is it a matter to be so much lamented that God hath prevented their greater miseries and wo?
A26896Is it in the wilderness that thou walkest, or in the croud: in the Closet, or in the Church; where is it that I might soonest meet with God?]
A26896Is the World a place of Rest or trouble to you?
A26896Is this your case?
A26896Less dead, if dead, than now I am alive?
A26896Must unfaithfulness to you be made more hainous, than that unfaithfulness to him, which yet you daily see and slight?
A26896Nor think more on any thing till I can more willingly think of thee?]
A26896O how plainly hath he declared that he loveth me, in the strange condescention, the Sufferings, Death, and Intercession of his Son?
A26896Or can I expect the translation of Henoch or the Chariot of Elias?
A26896Or is their deliverance become your grief?
A26896Or more obliged to me?
A26896Or rather, are you not apter to see and aggravate the wrong that others do to you, than that which you have done to others?
A26896Or what is it now, or like to be hereafter to your selves?
A26896Or will you ever have Rest, if you can not have Rest in the Will of God?
A26896Seneca could say[ Quid prodest totious regionis silentium, si affectus fremunt?]
A26896Shall I have any more Comfort in present friends than in others?
A26896Shall we be ignorant of the members of our Body?
A26896Some will forsake God: what wonder then if they forsake you?
A26896Thy Father loveth thy very moans and Tears: But how much more doth he love thy Thanks and Praise?
A26896Was Christ forsaken in his extremity by his own Disciples, to teach us what to expect, or bear?
A26896Was any friend so near to me as my self?
A26896Was it not God?
A26896Was it not his Lord and Owner that call''d him home?
A26896Was it not to them a place of toil and trouble, of envy and vexation, of enmity and poison?
A26896Was it so good and kind to them, as that you should lament their separation from it?
A26896What Love appeareth in his precious Promises, and the glorious Provisions he hath made for me with himself to all eternity?
A26896What Love hath he declared in the communications of his Spirit, and the operations of his Grace, and the near Relations into which he brought me?
A26896What Love hath he declared in the course of his Providences?
A26896What comfort can you think such Friends if they had survived, would have ● ound on Earth?
A26896What good doth the silence of all the Country do thee, if thou have the noise of raging affections within?]
A26896What person more generally esteemed and honoured for learning, piety and peaceableness then Melanchthon?
A26896What pleasure is it to see the busles of a Bedlam world?
A26896What was the World to your Friends while they did enjoy it?
A26896When you are almost leaving the World your selves, would you not send your treasure before you to the place where you must abide?
A26896Where should my goods be but in my own house?
A26896Where would you have your Friends, but where you must be your sel ● es?
A26896Who have more tender affections than Mothers to their children?
A26896Who would not justifie them, if they can but prove, that God requireth them, and Religion o ● ligeth th ● m to forsake you f ● r your faults?
A26896Why then should I so much regard, a converse of so short continuance?
A26896Why, if they had staid here a thousand years, how little of that time should you have had their Company?
A26896With how much labour and difficulty must you clime, if you will see the top of one of these Mountains?
A26896With whom should I so desirously converse, as with him whom I must live with for ever?
A26896With whom should a servant dwell but with his Master?
A26896Would you not come down, and give place to him that is to follow you, when your part is played, and his is to begin?
A26896Yea, you have not been innocent towards men your selves: Did you never wrong or fail another?
A26896[ Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; VVhat shall we have?]
A26896[ Mine Enemies speak Evil of me: When shall he dye, and his name perish?
A26896and Children but with thei ● Father?
A26896and a Wife, but with her Husband?
A26896and are your Friends more firm and unchangeable then theirs?
A26896and come and own thy gasping worm?
A26896and not be concerned in their felicity, with whom we are so nearly one?
A26896and of everlasting pains in Hell, and yet not feel that my greatest business is with God?
A26896and to give so dear as the hazard of their souls by wilful sin, to escape the honour, and safety, and commodity of Martyrdom?
A26896at their home and your home, with their Father, and your Father; their God, and your God?
A26896but if I continue thus to wait, wilt thou never find the time of Love?
A26896especially if it had been long of him?
A26896expect the time when they can not help you: Are they your comforters and delight, and is their company much of your solace upon earth?
A26896nor banish him into such a place where he can not have his conversation in Heaven?
A26896of successive cares and fears and griefs?
A26896or conversing with the most dreadful enemy?
A26896or did you only love them, while you made but little use of them for your Souls?
A26896or how shall he be my Heaven and everlasting H ● ppiness?
A26896or promise more concerning him?
A26896or than Christ that had a Iudas?
A26896or than Paul that had a Domas?
A26896or who shall condemn us when it is he that justifieth us?
A26896should you not then be more pleased that God hath them, and employeth them in his highest service, than displeased that you want them?
A26896what a stir they make to prove or make themselves unhappy?
A26896what wonder?
A26896why could not you have yeilded in so small a matter?]
A26896will you not give him leave to do as he list with his own?
A26896wilt thou never dissipate these clouds, and shine upon this dead and darkened soul?
A26896with Pastors and Teachers?
A26896with Wives or Children?
A26896yet am I no more desirous of the blessed day, when I shall b ● uncloathed of flesh and sin?
A62636& c. But where shall wisdom be found?
A62636All our hopes of Happiness are founded in the Faithfulness of God; and if thou be false to him, how canst thou expect he should be faithful to thee?
A62636And again, Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62636And can there be a greater affront to the Goodness and Justice of God, than to imagin he should deal with men after this manner?
A62636And did not he foretel the Destruction of Jerusalem 40 Years before?
A62636And if ye salute your Brethren only, what do ye more than others?
A62636And is a Man easilier made by Chance, than his Picture?
A62636And is there any thing of real Advantage which is not comprehended in this?
A62636And they say, how doth God know?
A62636And to mention no more, is it an Imperfection to be in any respect mutable?
A62636And we may in this case reason as our Saviour does; If we that are evil would deal thus with our Children, how much more shall our Heavenly Father?
A62636And what signifie the Laws and Promises of God, unless natural Light do first assure us of his Soveraign Authority and Faithfulness?
A62636And why may it not then be continually increasing, and be augmented still more and more, without any stint or final period of it''s perfection?
A62636Are ye not then partial in your selves, and become judges of evil thoughts?
A62636Art thou a Man, and the son of Man, and wilt thou assume to thy self the Prerogative of God?
A62636As we have all our Knowledge from him; what have we that we have not received?
A62636But it may here be Objected; Did not the Oracles among the Heathens foretel several things, which Christians are satisfied came from the Devil?
A62636But none saith, where is God my maker, who giveth Songs in the night?
A62636But to what purpose, may some say, is this long Description and Discourse of happiness?
A62636By what Authority then does his Vicar do these things?
A62636Can a man be profitable to God?
A62636Can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him?
A62636Can any man believe this that hath any tolerable notion of God''s Goodness?
A62636Can''st thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
A62636Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing?
A62636Do ye think the Holy and Just God will put up these Affronts, and Indignities?
A62636Dost thou know the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
A62636Doth God pervert Judgment, or doth the Almighty pervert Justice?
A62636Doth God pervert Judgment?
A62636Doth he not see my ways, and count all my steps?
A62636Fear and Shame from Men lay a great restraint upon our outward Actions; but how licentious are we many times in our Hearts?
A62636For if ye love them which love you, what reward have you?
A62636For it is plain, we are not sufficient for it of our selves; and if there be not a God, there is nothing that can make us so?
A62636For what can there be that is good or desirable in Being, when it only serves to be a foundation of the greatest and most lasting Misery?
A62636For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellor?
A62636God is not a Man that he should lie, neither the son of Man that he should repent, hath he said, and shall not he do it?
A62636God is not a Man that he should lie, or as the Son of Man that he should repent; hath he spoken, and shall not he do it?
A62636He said unto them, why are ye troubled?
A62636He that planted the Ear, shall he not hear?
A62636Hell and Destruction are before him, how much more the hearts of the Children of Men?
A62636How are the Life and Death of the Messias, with many particular Circumstances foretold?
A62636How are we the Wiser and the Better for it?
A62636How long might a Man sprinkle Oil and Colours upon Canvas, with a careless Hand, before this would produce the exact Picture of a Man?
A62636How long, O Lord, holy and true?
A62636How long, O Lord, holy and true?
A62636How many things are there which we can not find out without search, without looking narrowly into, and bending our Minds to understand them?
A62636I say unto you, Take no thought for your lives, what ye shall eat,& c. Is not the life more than meat?
A62636I will take heed to my way, while the wicked is before me; how much more in the presence of God?
A62636If the word spoken by Angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; how shall we escape?
A62636If thou art righteous, what givest thou him?
A62636If thou believest that he is Light, what Security is Darkness to thee?
A62636If thou sinnest, what dost thou against him?
A62636Is it Wit to set our selves against Reason, and to oppose our best Interest?
A62636Is it an Imperfection to countenance Sin?
A62636Is it an Imperfection to go from ones word, or to change ones mind?
A62636Is it an Imperfection to tempt, or to be tempted to Sin?
A62636Is it an Imperfection to want any thing, to be liable to any thing, to depend upon any thing without one''s self for their happiness?
A62636Is it fit to say to a King, thou art Wicked?
A62636Is it not desirable to be freed from the slavery of our Lusts, and rescued from the Tyranny and Power of the great Destroyer of Souls?
A62636Is it worth the while to advance such senseless Opinions as these, to deny the Wisdom of God?
A62636Is not sin contrary to the Holy Nature of God?
A62636Is there then unrighteousness with God?
A62636Many say, who will shew us any good?
A62636Nothing more evident than the Sin of Adam; yet God fore- knew this; how else was Christ decreed before the Foundation of the World?
A62636Now how is this agreable to justice?
A62636Now how is this deferring and turning away of judgment consistent with the Truth of God?
A62636Now shall we continue in Sin, when we know, the Son of God was manifested to take away Sin?
A62636Now what could more tend to discountenance Sin, and convince us of the great evil of it?
A62636Of what use would all the Mines of Metal have been, and of Coal, and the Quarries of Stone?
A62636Peradventure there be fifty Righteous within the City, wilt thou also destroy, and not spare the place for the fifty Righteous that are therein?
A62636Put the case we had the entire ordering and disposal of our selves, what were reasonable for us to do in this case?
A62636Righteous art thou O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments, wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?
A62636Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A62636Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A62636Shall not the Judge of all the world do right?
A62636Should he now, without any satisfaction to his offended Justice, pardon the Sinner, remit his Punishment, and receive him to favour?
A62636There is one law- giver, that is able to save and to destroy; who art thou that judgest another?
A62636This Negative Interrogation is equivalent to a vehement affirmation, shall not the Judge all the Earth do right?
A62636This is imply''d in the Answer to that Question, Who can know the heart of man?
A62636To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices to me?
A62636Unless it be naturally known to us, that God is true, what foundation is there for the belief of his Word?
A62636Vnderstand ye Brutish among the People, and ye Fools when will ye be wise?
A62636Was Joseph neglected by God, when, by a great deal of hard usage, and a long imprisonment, he was raised to the highest dignity in a great Kingdom?
A62636What an impotent and ineffectual thing would Power be without Knowledge?
A62636What can expiate the guilt of sin, if the Blood of Christ do not?
A62636What could a Christian say more or better, by way of resignation of himself to the Providence of God?
A62636What shall take us off from sin, what shall sanctifie us, if the blood of the Covenant be ineffectual?
A62636What shall we say then, is there unrighteousness with God?
A62636What shall we say then?
A62636What would all the vast bodies of Trees have served for, if Man had not been to build with them, and make Dwellings of them?
A62636When thou art ready anxiously and solicitously to say, what shall I do for the necessaries of Life?
A62636Which of you, by taking thought, can add one cubit to his stature?
A62636Who can tell the utmost of what Omnipotent Justice can do to sinners?
A62636Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
A62636Who should observe the Motions of the Stars, and the Courses of those Heavenly Bodies, and all the Wonders of Nature?
A62636Who teacheth us more than the Beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the Fowls of Heaven?
A62636Whom should we trust rather than Infinite Wisdom which manageth and directs Infinite Goodness and Power?
A62636Why art thou cast down, O my Soul?
A62636Why callest thou me good?
A62636Why do we take too much upon us?
A62636Why should Unbelief be counted a piece of Wit?
A62636Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, and ten thousands of rivers of Oil?
A62636Wilt thou also destroy the Righteous, with the Wicked?
A62636Wilt thou destroy the righteous with the wicked?
A62636Would the Beasts of the Field study Astronomy, or turn Chymists, and try Experiments in Nature?
A62636Would the Beasts of the Forest have built themselves Palaces, or would they have made Fires in their Dens?
A62636Would the Mole have admired the fine Gold?
A62636Would you be like God?
A62636Zeno pretends to demonstrate there is no Motion; and what is the consequence of this Speculation, but that Men must stand still?
A62636and he that keepeth thy soul, doth he not know it?
A62636and said, that the sinner shall die, that he will not acquit the guilty, nor let sin go unpunish''d?
A62636and seeth his Brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
A62636and the body than rayment?
A62636and where is the place of understanding?
A62636and who gave him this Authority?
A62636and why art thou disquieted within me?
A62636and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
A62636do not even the Publicans so?
A62636do not even the Publicans the same?
A62636doth not this seem to charge him with false- hood or levity?
A62636hath he said it, and shall not he bring it to pass?
A62636hath he said it, and shall not he bring it to pass?
A62636hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
A62636hath not he declared his Infinite hatred of it?
A62636hath not he threatned it with heavy and dreadful Punishment?
A62636he that formed the Eye, shall he not see?
A62636he that formed the Eye, shall he not see?
A62636he that planted the Ear, shall he not hear?
A62636he that teacheth Man Knowledge, shall not he know?
A62636how art thou alone, if thou believest that God is every where?
A62636how can''st thou retire from him?
A62636how canst thou shut him out?
A62636how much less to him that accepteth not the Persons of Princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor?
A62636how shall God at once express his Love to the Sinner, and his hatred to sin?
A62636is it not a known Rule, Noxa caput sequitur, Mischief pursues the Sinner?
A62636is proportionably true in this case; there is but one that knows the heart; who art thou then that judgest another Man''s heart?
A62636is there knowledge in the most high?
A62636is there unrighteousness with God?
A62636meaning the good things of this World, Corn, and Wine, and Oil; But wouldst thou be happy indeed?
A62636or doth the Almighty pervert Justice?
A62636or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what dost thou unto him?
A62636or is it a gain to him, that thou makest thy way perfect?
A62636or to Princes, ye are ungodly?
A62636or what receiveth he of thine hand?
A62636or whether they were baptized into the name of Paul?
A62636or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
A62636that judgest another''s heart?
A62636what a strange freedom do we take within our own Breasts?
A62636what irregular things would it produce?
A62636what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
A62636what untoward Combinations of Effects would there be, if infinite Power were let loose to act without the Conduct of Knowledge and Vnderstanding?
A62636why does not thy Blood rise in thy Face?
A62636why dost thou seek Darkness and Retirement?
A62636why should not Shame and Fear work, upon the apprehension of God''s seeing us, as if men did behold us?
A62636would this be agreeable to his Holiness, and Justice, and Truth?
A05370After he further enquireth: Quae genitis quies& c. VVhat rest can euer be, if the sense& vigour of the soule remaineth aloofe of in so high a place?
A05370After this Pliny thus expostulateth: Quae dementia& c. VVhat folly is it to maintaine, that life is iterated, and begun againe by meanes of death?
A05370Againe he questioneth; Quid agit?
A05370All which things how far dissonant and estrāged they are from reason, who seeth not?
A05370And euen in some of those, which haue but a very small body, how shrill and piercing is the sound they make?
A05370And frō whēce procedeth this necessity?
A05370And how great variety is there of them according to the variety of their kinds?
A05370And how imperfect and narrow an vnderstanding should he haue, that could not attend to all thinges, which doe fall out in the world?
A05370And how much care is taken for the tyme to come, and yet they want all knowledge of the tyme to come?
A05370And if it be so, how then can the world continue, especially seing it consisteth of so different, contrary and repugnant things?
A05370And to come to ● ihes: How fitly and proportionatly are then bodies framed to lyue in the Element of water?
A05370And what incōsolable griefe doth afflict them for the tyme?
A05370And what may be the reason thereof?
A05370B. Quae haec summa delicti, nolle illum agnoscere, quem ignorare non p ● ● ● is?
A05370But some here may demaund: How thē cometh it to passe, that we can not vnderstand any thing, except we forge a certaine image of it in the phantasy?
A05370But to descend to Plants; what exceeding beauty is in all kynd of Plants?
A05370But what great pro ● ● doth ryse by Nauigation to Man?
A05370But what is this, but mere doting madnes, and want of reasō?
A05370But with what colour or shew of truth, can it be said, that they were meere forgeryes, seing this answere is not wartanted with any reason?
A05370Can it be thought to be so impotent, as not to be able to frame to it selfe( as it were) a proper house of its owne?
A05370Do you see all these things?
A05370For from whence is it knowne, that they are forged?
A05370For frō whence proced the most swift reuolutions of the heauens, but from his power and wisedome?
A05370For how can he want reason, vnderstanding, and will, who first made and gaue reason, vnderstāding and will?
A05370For how great is the power of the senses?
A05370For if the soule be with- houlde in the body as in a prison, why then doth it so much feare and auoid death?
A05370For if the soules be parcels of God, how can they be dissolued with fyre?
A05370For what can the opinion of a cōpany of poore mortall men aduantage me?
A05370For what diuersity of formes are found in them?
A05370For what good doth man reape by liuing a short tyme in so many afflictions of mynd and body?
A05370For why should the authours willingly stand obnoxious to so great a sacriledge?
A05370From a formeles seed, so fayre and so seuerall kynds of bodyes both of liuing Creatures and of Plants should be framed?
A05370From a small roote so huge trees should grow?
A05370From whence are the structures of so many liuing Creatures,& their multiplicious and wonderful formes?
A05370From whence hath the soule separated its cogitation or discourse?
A05370From whence hath the soule separated seeing and hearing?
A05370Furthermore, if Soules for a certayne tyme can subsist without a body, why can they not for euer continue so?
A05370Good God, how much art is in their structure and making,& how much wit?
A05370How are they accoūt ● ● among the children of God, and their portion ● ● among the Saintes?
A05370How easy, expedite, and quicke functions and motions haue they?
A05370How far of doth the eye penetrate in a moment, viewing all things& apprehending the formes of them, and expressing them in it selfe?
A05370How forcible is the power of smelling in dogs, Vultures,& many other such like?
A05370How great is the difference of their sound and voyces?
A05370How pleasant is the beauty of their wings?
A05370How pleasingly do they apparell and cloath the earth?
A05370How sweet is the singng of some of them?
A05370How then cā any one call into question, but that this world first had a most excellent and wise artificer and workeman?
A05370I say to acknowledge no good of the soule without the senses is incident to swyne and beasts, not to Philosophers: next, Quae deinde sedes?
A05370If then this should be so, where is iustice?
A05370If these things happen in the greene wood, what shall become of the dry wood?
A05370If this house of the world belong not to this Cause, why then doth it assume the regiment thereof?
A05370If we come next to Emmets or Ants, what s ● dulity and industry is found in them?
A05370In the next place Pliny demandeth, Cur corpus& c. why the body followeth and coueteth the soule?
A05370Neither is the industry small in Cats; for with what silence of pace, do they rush vpon birds,& with what obseruāt eye do they light vpon myce?
A05370Next asketh Pliny; Quomodo visus& auditus?
A05370Next he asketh: Quanta multitud ●& c. how great a multitude is there of soules, as of shadowes for so many ages?
A05370Now for the Romans, with what sweating, paynes, and labours did they rise and grow dreadfull?
A05370Now from whence doth this come?
A05370Now how great industry and Prouidence is found in this worke?
A05370Now let vs descend next to the miracle ● of the new testament: good God, how many and notorious did our Lord here liuing in flesh, performe?
A05370Now supposing the spider were indued with reason, could it do all these things with better art and order, and more fitly tending to her designed end?
A05370Now what can the mynd cōceaue ● ore horrible and dreadfull then this?
A05370Now what greater benignity and fauour can be conceaued, then to spare ten thousands wicked persons for the sakes often holy men liuing among them?
A05370Now what is more pleasing to the eye of Man, then those blewish and purple colours of the Heauens?
A05370Now who is so simple, that would belieue this?
A05370Now, how vast& spacious are those entrances, which are capable of so innumerable formes?
A05370Now, it we consider the externall and outward parts of liuing Creatures; how wonderfu ● ly is euery part appropriated to its peculiar v ● e& end?
A05370Now, who seeth not, that all these things are thus purposely disposed and framed with wonderfull wisedome& consideration?
A05370Of whom by retortiō I demand, what do other spirits and incorporeall substances?
A05370Or finally how cā they be depraued with so many facinorous crymes and impieties?
A05370Or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
A05370Or how can that be of it selfe, which is extinguished& perished with so great a facility?
A05370Or what can their speaches and words auaile me?
A05370Or what greater prints, or intimations of Omnipotency can be, then these are?
A05370Or what power& vertue gaue this saltnes to it, and to what end?
A05370Or what vse is there of it?
A05370Or where Iustice?
A05370Or whither shall I flie from thy presence?
A05370Or who brought thē into the world?
A05370Or why is it so grieuous to the soule to be disioyned and separated from the body?
A05370Or with what hope or reward should they vndergo the aspersion of so foule a blemish?
A05370Pliny proceedeth yet further: Quid sine sensibus bonum?
A05370QVo ibo a spiritu tuo,& quo a facie tua fugiam?
A05370Quid ista sic diligis& c. Why dost thou so loue these terrene and earthly things, as if they were thine owne?
A05370Seutin?]
A05370She conceaueth the aptnes of her web to hold fast with the fynenes of the threed?
A05370Si ascendero in caelum& c. Whither shall I goe from thy spirit?
A05370Since otherwise where should the Prouidance of God be?
A05370The Prophet therfore truly said, Qui plantauit aurem& c. He which planted the eare, shall he not heare?
A05370Then saith he, Vbi cogitatio illi?
A05370Therefore how great& bewitching is the pulchritud ● and splendour of these soules, in whom all these perfections are secretly and simply included?
A05370Therfore what madnes and blyndnes of mynd it is( for some few weake& sleighty reasons) to imbrace the contrary opinion?
A05370Thē the which proceeding what can be imagined more exorbitant, or lesse agreable with reason?
A05370Thou maist heere reply, from whence then procedeth it, that almost all men are ouerruled with the desire of praise and glory?
A05370To conclude, seeing there are many spirits( as is shewed aboue) I would here demand, from whence this multitude had its begining?
A05370VVhat can be good, which is not to be apprehended by the senses?
A05370VVhat seate or mansion for the soules seperated?
A05370VVho among vs shall dwell with euerlasting burnings?
A05370VVho is God, that can take you out of my hāds?
A05370Videtis haec omnia?
A05370What Art may in the least part seeme to equall this?
A05370What Nature hath imparted to all these their forme, situation, splendour, and this celestial and vnchangeable beauty& fairnes?
A05370What can we say, when we speake of thee who aboue all speach art ineffable, and aboue all vnderstanding incōprehensible?
A05370What doth the soule separated?
A05370What exorbitant and vnaccustomed crueltyes suffered they of their Generals and Emperours?
A05370What is more admirable, then the radiant body of the Sunne, being the fountaine of light and heat?
A05370What more pure, then those shining gems& pretious stones?
A05370What more shall I say, My God, my life, Light, and sweetnes of my heart?
A05370What mynd or vnderstanding can be intent to so many things at once?
A05370What should I heere speake of Mercy& Iustice?
A05370Which point being so, then how great are those benefits, which God hath promised and prepared for his seruants?
A05370Who considering these things, will not repute them rather signes of cruelty and iniustice, then of mercy and iustice?
A05370Why delayest thou, as if thou hadst not afore come out of that body, wherein thou didestlye?
A05370Why doth it so much affect the commodities and pleasures of the body, and is so greatly delighted therewith?
A05370Why is it not painful to the soule to stay in a body so stored with filth and impurity?
A05370With what calamityes were they often worne out and wearyed?
A05370With what do ● efull cryes do they fill the ayre?
A05370With what intestine and ciuill warres were they afflicted?
A05370Yea rather( as being a thing most pernicious and destructiue) why should he not be instantly exterminated and banished from thence?
A05370Yea what priuate man is so rude and brutish who is not sensible of honours& disgraces?
A05370exceeding al tapistry, or other such artificial hangings whatsoeuer, through its various and diuers vestment of hearbs, flowers, and groues?
A05370for how can it be, that that, whose frame and making existeth with so great reason, prouidence and iudgement, should haue its being by chance?
A05370qui vsus eius?
A05370● onterriti sunt& c. The sinners in Sion are afraid; a feare is come vpon the Hypocrites: who among vs shall dwell with deuouring fire?
A31078( what reward can you pretend to for so common, so necessary a performance) do not even the publicans doe the same?
A31078And however is not pity rather due to them than contempt?
A31078And what ground can there be of loving our selves which may not as well be found in others?
A31078And what more in this respect can we perform for our selves?
A31078Are they not hence, even from your lusts, that war in your members?
A31078Are we apt to be rude in our deportment, harsh in our language, or rigorous in our dealing toward our selves?
A31078Are we easily angry with our selves, do we retain implacable grudges against our selves, or do we execute upon our selves mischievous revenge?
A31078Are words capable of a good sense?
A31078Could one see a man sprawling on the ground, weltring in his bloud, with gaping wounds, gasping for breath, without compassion?
A31078Did not he that made me in the womb, make him?
A31078Do I yet* conciliate God, or do I endeavour to sooth men?
A31078Do we delight to report, or like to hear ill stories of our selves?
A31078Do we love to vex our selves, or cross our own humour?
A31078Do we not eagerly prosecute our own concerns?
A31078Doth not God in a sort debase himself, that he might advance us?
A31078Finally, Did not our Lord himself in our nature exemplifie this Duty, yea by his Practice far out- doe his Precept?
A31078Have we not a sensible delight and complacency in our own prosperity?
A31078How can any love, consent of mind, or communion of good offices intercede between persons so contrarily disposed?
A31078How then can any man be deemed contemptible, having so noble relations, capacities, and privileges?
A31078If a man had opportunity to do that, which his Prince would acknowledge a courtesie and obligation to him, what a happiness would he accompt it?
A31078If you love those that love you( saith our Saviour) what reward have you?
A31078Irascitur aliquis?
A31078Is any man fallen into disgrace?
A31078Is it for meanness of parts, or abilities, or endowments?
A31078Is it for moral imperfections or blemishes; for vicious habits, or actual misdemeanours?
A31078Is it for the lowness of his condition, or for any misfortune that hath befallen him?
A31078Is this thy voice, my Son David?
A31078Liberty is a precious thing, which every man gladly would enjoy, yet how little did Saint Paul''s charity regard it?
A31078Likewise, what more can justice find in our neighbour to obstruct or depress our love than it may observe in our selves?
A31078May not any man at least be as wise and as good as we?
A31078Quid est amare, nisi velle bonis aliquem affici quàm maximis?
A31078Sever it from courage; and what is that, but the boldness or fierceness of a beast?
A31078Such was the charity of Job: Did not I weep for him that was in trouble?
A31078Such was the charity of Saint Paul; Who is weak, said he, and I am not weak ▪ who is offended, and I burn not?
A31078WHich is the great Commandment?
A31078We may ask with Saint Paul, Why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
A31078What is it( saith Cicero) to love, but to will or desire, that the person loved should receive the greatest good that can be?
A31078Would we discharge all our Duties without any reluctancy or regret, with much satisfaction, and pleasure?
A31078Yet shall a man for such alterations surcease or abate his love to himself?
A31078and are not such things commonly disposed by his hand with a gracious intent?
A31078and did not one fashion us in the womb?
A31078and, If you do good to them which do good to you, what thank have you?
A31078are we not extreamly glad to find our selves thriving and flourishing in wealth, in reputation, in any accommodation or ornament of our state?
A31078are we not much comforted in apprehending our selves to proceed in a hopefull way toward everlasting felicity?
A31078are we satisfied in meerly wishing our selves well, are we not also busie and active in procuring what we affect?
A31078but are not the best men, are not all men, art not thou thy self obnoxious to the like?
A31078can we esteem so mean, so vile, so ugly things as we then are?
A31078charity crieth out alas, as if it were it self defeated: Is any man afflicted with pain or sickness?
A31078charity doth hold down its head, is abashed and out of countenance, partaking of his shame: Is any man disappointed of his hopes or endeavours?
A31078charity if it can not succour, it will condole: doth ill news arrive?
A31078charity looketh sadly, it sigheth and groaneth, it fainteth and languisheth with him: Is any man pinched with hard want?
A31078charity will be sure to allege it: may a quality admit a good name?
A31078charity will ever refer it thither: doth a fault admit any plea, apology, or diminution?
A31078charity will expound them thereto: may an action be imputed to any good intent?
A31078did not in him vertue conquer nature, and charity triumph over self- love?
A31078do not his endowments adorn you, if you like them, if you commend them, if the use of them doth minister comfort and joy to you?
A31078do we ever repine at any advantages accruing to our person or condition?
A31078do we not especially, if we rightly understand our selves, desire the health and happiness of our souls?
A31078do we not rather connive at, and conceal our blemishes; do we not excuse and extenuate our own crimes?
A31078do we not rather endeavour all we can to stifle them; to tie the tongues and stop the ears of men against them?
A31078do we not rather in word and deed treat our selves very softly, very indulgently?
A31078do we not rather seek by all means to please and gratifie our selves?
A31078doth he not appear to wave his own due, and neglect his own honour for our advantage?
A31078doth not his pleasure delight you, if you relish his enjoyment of it?
A31078doth not his preferment advance you, if your spirit riseth with it in a gladsome complacence?
A31078doth not his prosperity bless you, if your heart doth exult and triumph in it?
A31078doth not your neighbours wealth enrich you, if you feel content in his possessing and using it?
A31078doth relation to us alter the case?
A31078especially if we be sober and wise, doth not our spiritual proficiency and improvement in vertue yield joyous satisfaction to us?
A31078from courtesie; and what is that, but affectation or artifice?
A31078from justice; what is that, but humour or policy?
A31078from meekness; and what is that, but the softness of a woman, or weakness of a child?
A31078from wisedom; what is that, but craft and subtilty?
A31078hath he greater infirmities or defects, is he more liable to errours and miscarriages, is he guilty of worse faults than we?
A31078hath not God declared that he hath a special regard to such?
A31078have not many good and therefore many happy men wanted those things?
A31078how absolutely did he abandon it for his neighbours good?
A31078how can we more esteem or affect our selves than others, of whose unworthiness we can hardly be so conscious or sure?
A31078how desperately hard and tough must our hearts be, if such incentives can not soften and melt them?
A31078how otherwise could there be any second or like to that first, that great, that peerless command, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart?
A31078how otherwise could we be obliged to affect or regard any thing beside the Sovereign, the onely goodness?
A31078is he falling, who will not uphold him?
A31078is he falsly accused or aspersed, who will not vindicate him?
A31078is he in distress, who will not pity him, who will not endeavour to relieve and restore him?
A31078is it not a horridly prodigious insensibility to think upon such expressions of kindness without feeling affection reciprocal?
A31078is it not an apathy more than Stoical, more than stony, which can stand immovable before so mighty inducements to passion?
A31078is not therefore this Precept such as if we should be commanded to fly, or to doe that which natural propension will certainly hinder?
A31078is our solicitous care or painfull endeavour ever wanting toward the support and succour of our selves in any of our needs?
A31078is self as self lovely or valuable, doth that respect lend any worth or price to things?
A31078or whom did he ever despise that called upon him?
A31078or why should I have any regard to men void of all faith, goodness, or desert?
A31078the which if a charitable person abundantly draweth from them, why are they not truly his?
A31078to what purpose is knowledge, if it be not applied to the instruction, direction, admonition, or consolation of others?
A31078was not my soul grieved for the poor?
A31078what brute, what devil can find in his heart to be a foe to him, who is a sure friend to all?
A31078what is our credit but a meer noise or a puff of air, if we do not give a solidity and substance to it, by making it an engine of doing good?
A31078what is wit good for, if it must be spent onely in making sport, or hatching mischief?
A31078what may not a Delilah obtain of her Sampson, a Cleopatra of her Anthony, how prejudicial soever it be to his own interest and welfare?
A31078whence, if not either from our not firmly believing them, or not rightly apprehending them, or not attentively considering them?
A31078who is there that, at least according to God''s inclination and intention, hath not had much forgiven him?
A31078who will insult over his calamity?
A31078whom have not the riches of divine goodness and long- suffering attended upon in order to his repentance?
A31078whose character was it, that they trusted they were righteous and despised others?
A31078why is not the Tree his, if he can pull and tast its Fruits without injury or blame?
A31078why may not a man be disposed to doe that out of hearty good- will, which he can doe out of vain conceit, or vicious appetite?
A31078why shall other forces overbear nature, and the power of charity be unable to match it?
A31078why then should we not esteem, why not affect him as much?
A31078will it not in such cases appear a common duty, a common interest to assist and countenance a common friend, a common benefactour to mankind?
A31078yea may we not, if without partiality or flattery we examin our selves, discern the same within us, or other defects equivalent?

A56856Wilt thou invoke Perpetual Vengeance to intail a stroke Upon thy stubborn heart?
A56856Yet can not I Invite thee to my sweet eternity?
A56856and is there no relief?

A56856didst thou think to shrowd Thy self from vengeance?

A6257990. Who knoweth the power of thy anger?
A62579Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?
A62579And I. I ask the Sinner if he will stand to this?
A62579And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, When shall these things be?
A62579And can we stand out against his earnest desire of our happiness, whom we have so often and so long provoked to make us miserable?
A62579And do not the terrible threatnings of God against sin declare him to be highly offended at it?
A62579And does not this plainly argue, that they are guilty to themselves, that they are about something which they ought not to do?
A62579And is it not a greater mercy that we never felt it?
A62579And is not this an argument of God''s patience, that the glorious Majesty of Heaven should bear such multiplied indignities from such vile Worms?
A62579And is not this great goodness, to warn us when he might destroy us, to leave room for a retreat, when he might put our case past remedy?
A62579And is this any real Objection against the long- suffering of God?
A62579And must he be charged with our ruin, because he seeks by all means to prevent it?
A62579And should not this goodness of his make us sorry that we have offended him?
A62579And then how hard do we find it to forgive those who have injured us?
A62579And this may suffice for answer to the first Objection, if God be so good, whence then comes evil?
A62579And treasurest up to thy self wrath against the day of wrath, and the revelation of the righteous judgment of God?
A62579And what was the issue of all this?
A62579And who may stand before thee when thou art angry?
A62579Are not two Sparrows sold for a Farthing?
A62579Are these the best returns which the infinite Mercy and Patience of God hath deserved from us?
A62579Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to minister for them, who shall be heirs of Salvation?
A62579Art not thou from everlasting?
A62579At the best, how unfit are we for the most serious work of our lives, when we are hardly fit to do any thing?
A62579Because Men are apt to abuse the Mercies and Favours of God, is it therefore a fault in him to bestow them upon us?
A62579Because he doth nothing against thee for the present, thinkest thou he can do nothing?
A62579Because it hath not yet overtaken us, therefore to go forth and meet it?
A62579Because there is yet a possibility of escaping it, therefore to take a certain course to make it unavoidable?
A62579Because there is yet hope concerning us, therefore to make our case desperate and past remedy?
A62579Behold the Fowls of the Air, they sow not, neither do they reap, and yet your heavenly Father takes care of them; are not ye much better than they?
A62579Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit, and find none; cut it down; why cumbreth it the ground?
A62579But if it be further argued; If we grant in one case, that those things which seem to be contradictions to us may be possible, why not in all cases?
A62579But what use do Men commonly make of it?
A62579But whoso hath this worlds goods, and seeth his brother have need,& c. how dwelleth the love of God in him?
A62579By denying submission to his Laws, we question his Omnipresence, and say, Doth God see?
A62579Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
A62579Can any Man in earnest think, that God who is a Spirit is pleased with the pompous bravery and pageantry which affects our Senses?
A62579Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him, saith the Lord?
A62579Can''st thou by searching find out God?
A62579Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62579Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62579Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62579Canst thou by the most diligent search and enquiry come to a perfect Knowledge and Undrestanding of him?
A62579Canst thou do this?
A62579Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
A62579Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
A62579Canst thou find out the Almighty, that is God, to Perfection?
A62579Canst thou find out the Almighty, usque ad ultima, to the very last and utmost of him?
A62579Canst thou give an account how the Soul is united to the Body, by what bands or holds a Spirit is so closely and intimately conjoyned to Matter?
A62579Canst thou pierce into the center of his Perfections, and dive into the bottom of them?
A62579Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
A62579Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
A62579Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

A62579Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and patience, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
A62579Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, not knowing that the goodness of God leads to repentance?
A62579Do we not remember how God spared us in such a danger, when we gave our selves for lost?
A62579Do we not see, that many times the battel is not to the strong?
A62579Do we thus requite the Lord, foolish people and unwise?
A62579Does not the Scripture tell us, that God sits in the Heavens, and dwells on high, that Heaven is his throne, and that it is the City of the great God?
A62579Dost thou fear man that shall die, and the son of man that shall be made as grass?
A62579Dost thou know how they can move themselves to a great distance in a moment, and dart themselves from one part of the World to another?
A62579Dost thou know how thy self understandest any thing, and canst retain the distinct Ideas and Notions of so many Objects without confusion?
A62579Dost thou know the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
A62579Dost thou think it desirable, that God should deal thus with thee, and let fly his Judgments upon thee so soon as ever thou hast sinned?
A62579Doth Christ weep over impenitent Sinners, because they will not know the things of their peace?
A62579Doth a Fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
A62579Doth it not naturally lead and invite us to repentance?
A62579Doth not he condescend so low as to represent himself afflicted for the miseries of Men, and to rejoyce in the conversion of a Sinner?
A62579Doth not the Lord''s Prayer teach us to say, Our Father which art in heaven?
A62579First, Whether an actual intention of God''s Glory be necessary to make every Action that we do, good and acceptable to God?
A62579For who hath known the mind of the Lord?
A62579For why should we pretend to know the utmost of what infinite Power can do, any more than the utmost of what infinite Understanding can know?
A62579Have they not many checks and rebukes in their own Spirits, much disturbance and confusion of Mind, when they are enterprising a wicked thing?
A62579Having begun in the spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
A62579He is mighty in strength; excellent in power; who is like unto him?
A62579He 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?
A62579He who is so patient as to the punishment of our sins, is almost impatient of our repentance for them; Wilt thou not be made clean?
A62579How can we conceive of God, but as of an Eternal Being?
A62579How careless have we been of our own happiness, and what pains have we taken to undo our selves?
A62579How do anger and revenge boyl within us?
A62579How do we upbraid Men with their faults?
A62579How doth God condescend in those pathetical Expressions, which he useth concerning his People?
A62579How great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty?
A62579How is God with us; How does he pitch his Tabernacle among Men; if his essential Presence be confin''d to Heaven?
A62579How is it consistent with the goodness of God, to permit so great an Evil as this to come into the World?
A62579How is that?
A62579How long shall the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
A62579How many Parables doth he use to set forth the mercy of God to us, with a design to draw us to the imitation of it?
A62579How many things must concur to make our hearts tender, and melt our spirits, and stir our bowels, to make us pitiful and compassionate?
A62579How mindful of an Injury?
A62579How often would I have gathered you, and you would not?
A62579How precious are thy thoughts unto me?
A62579How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
A62579How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
A62579If not, why do Men trifle, and make an Objection against the long- suffering of God, which they would be very loth should be made good upon them?
A62579Is God good to us?
A62579Is God so good to his Creatures?
A62579Is he grieved that Men will undo themselves, and will not be saved?
A62579Is he not said to come down and draw near to us, and to be afar off from us?
A62579Is he not said to look down from heaven, and to hear in heaven his dwelling- place?
A62579Is it any contradiction, that the same thing should be three and one in several respects?
A62579Is it not enough for us to abuse them, but will we challenge God also of unkindness in giving them?
A62579Is it not enough to be injurious to our selves, but will we be unthankful to God also?
A62579Is it not said that he doth not dwell in temples made with hands?
A62579Is not God patient, when the whole world lies in wickedness, and the earth is overspread with violence, and is full of the habitations of cruelty?
A62579It is objected, That if God do not desire the ruin of Sinners, but their repentance, whence comes it to pass, that all are not brought to repentance?
A62579Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
A62579Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A62579Lo these are part of his ways: But how little a portion is heard of him?
A62579Lord, what shall this man do?
A62579May not God be patient, tho''Sinners be impenitent?
A62579May not God use wise and fitting means for our recovery, because we are so foolish as not to make a wise use of them?
A62579May not he be good, tho''we be so foolish as to make an ill use of his goodness?
A62579None saith, Where is God my Maker?
A62579None saith, where is God my maker?
A62579Now can Evil come from a Good God?
A62579Now how does this agree with his Immensity and Omnipresence?
A62579Now what a folly is this, because punishment doth not come, therefore to hasten it, and to draw it down upon our selves?
A62579Now what an encouragement is this to us, that we serve him and suffer for him who lives for ever, and will make us happy for ever?
A62579Now what application doth our Saviour make of this?
A62579Now what saith the Lord to him?
A62579Now what use ought we in reason to make of this Patience of God towards us?
A62579Now where did St. Paul write so, unless in this Text; Not knowing that the goodness of God leads to repentance?
A62579O Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean?
A62579Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
A62579Peter comes to him, and asks him, How often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?
A62579See how unreasonably Men bring ruin upon themselves; so that well might the Psalmist ask that Question, Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
A62579Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself?
A62579Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee?
A62579Some degree of this was in the Temple, which is the reason of Solomon''s Admiration, will God indeed dwell on Earth?
A62579The first Question is undoubtedly general, concerning the Nature and Perfections of God in general; Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62579The mercies of God''s Patience are no more to be numbred than our sins; we may say with David, How great is the sum of them?
A62579They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they commune of laying snares privately; for they say, Who shall see them?
A62579This the Psalmist observes here, Where shall I go from thy Spirit?
A62579This you have expressed here in the words of Zophar, Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62579Thou canst not comprehend the Divine Nature and Perfections in general; Canst thou find out the Almighty to Perfection?
A62579Thou even thou art to be feared, and who may stand before thee when thou art angry?
A62579Thus natural Light would reason, and so the King of Nineveh, a Heathen, reasons, Who can tell if God will turn and repent?
A62579Thus saith the Lord, behold, heaven is my throne, and the earth is my foot- stool: where is the house that ye build unto me?
A62579To whom sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
A62579To whom will ye liken God?
A62579Was not this that which I said when I was yet in my own country?
A62579What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it?
A62579What have we that we have not received?
A62579What have we to be proud of?
A62579What is become of that Declaration of Christ so frequently repeated in the Gospel, concerning his coming to Judgment?
A62579What may we not hope and assuredly expect from immense and boundless goodness?
A62579What other interpretation can we make of his Patience, what other use in reason should we make of it, but to repent and return, that we may be saved?
A62579What reason have we then thankfully to acknowledge and admire the Mercy of God to us?
A62579What vile and low Submission do we require of them, before we will receive them into Favour, and grant them Peace?
A62579When God hath laid out the riches of his goodness and patience upon Sinners, will they challenge him as accessory to their ruin?
A62579When I consider the heavens, the work of thy fingers, the Moon and the Stars which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him?
A62579When any evil or misery is upon us, would we not reckon it a mercy to be rescued and delivered from it?
A62579When he seemed resolved upon it, to destroy the murmuring Israelites, yet how often, at the intercession of Moses, did he turn away his wrath?
A62579When shall these things be?
A62579When thanks is all God expects from us, can we not afford to give him that?
A62579Where is the sounding of thy bowels, and of thy mercies, are they restrained?
A62579Where then is cause of boasting?
A62579Where then is your happy and eternal Being, by which two Epithets you express God?
A62579Wherefore do the wicked live, yea become old?
A62579Wherefore doth the wicked live, yea, become old?
A62579Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight?
A62579Wherefore if God so cloath the grass of the field, shall he not much more cloath you?
A62579Wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue?
A62579Whether the Glory of God may, or ought to be considered, as an End separate and distinct from our own Happiness?
A62579Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
A62579Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
A62579Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning?
A62579Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
A62579Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
A62579Who may glory in his sight?
A62579Whom wilt thou fear, if not him who can make thee extremely happy or miserable for ever?
A62579Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
A62579Why boasteth thou thy self in mischief, O mighty man?
A62579Why should they be smitten any more?
A62579Why then is God represented to us so often in Scripture by the Parts and Members of Mens Bodies?
A62579Why will ye dye, O house of Israel?
A62579Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
A62579Will ye provoke the Lord to jealousie?
A62579and canst thou think he will not pardon thee upon thy repentance?
A62579and canst thou think that he is unwilling to forgive?
A62579and how he recovered us in such a sickness, when the Physician gave us up for gone?
A62579and is not the wrath of the Eternal God much more terrible?
A62579and is there knowledge in the most high?
A62579and shall not we believe that he is in good earnest?
A62579and the thunder of his voice who can understand?
A62579and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
A62579and what use we made of this Patience and long- suffering of God towards us?
A62579and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
A62579and where is the place of my rest?
A62579and who hath been his counsellour?
A62579and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A62579and, Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
A62579are ye stronger than he?
A62579but thou mayst be surprized by a sudden stroke which may give thee no warning, leave thee no space of repentance?
A62579canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
A62579do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord?
A62579for who hath resisted his Will?
A62579how great is the sum of them?
A62579how great is thy goodness, how great is thy beauty?
A62579how much more when he hath only said, wash and be clean?
A62579how shall I deliver thee, Israel?
A62579if any one have offended, or provoked us; how hard are we to be reconciled?
A62579l. 1. saith to the Epicureans, ubi igitur vestrum beatum& aeternum quibus duobus verbis significatis deum?
A62579or as the word may be rendred, to them that were disobedient?
A62579or the Son of man, that thou visitest him?
A62579or what likeness will ye compare to him?
A62579or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A62579or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A62579put it as a strange question, will God indeed dwell on the earth?
A62579that he who is our great Benefactor should put up such affronts from those who depend upon his bounty, and are maintained at his charge?
A62579that he who is the Former of all things, should endure his own Creatures to rebel against him, and the work of his hands to strike at him?
A62579that he, in whose hands our breath is, should suffer Men to breath out Oaths, and Curses, and Blasphemies against him?
A62579that in the last days there should come scoffers, who should walk after their own hearts lusts, saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A62579that is to Judgment; and of the end of the world?
A62579till seven times?
A62579when shall it once be?
A62579when shall it once be?
A62579when shall it once be?
A62579when the wicked persecutes and devours the man that is more righteous than he?
A62579where Ahashuerus says concerning Haman, Who is he?
A62579wherefore when I looked it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
A62579who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
A62579wilt thou not be made clean?
A62579with how little remorse can we kill a Flea, or tread upon a Worm?
A305771. Who would not feare this God then?
A305771. where the glory of the Church is set forth, it begins at the feet, How beautifull are thy feet?
A3057712. Who art thou that thou shouldest be afraid of a man?
A305778. Who is the King of glory?
A305779. who can stretch out his hand against the Lords Anointed and be guiltlesse?
A30577Alexander was asked, How he did so great things in so little a time?
A30577All power is from God: may not this power be re- assumed therefore?
A30577And did not our King Charles send aid to the Protestants in France, defending their Religion and liberty against their King at the Isle of Ree?
A30577And if they should say, But how can this deliverance be here?
A30577And is not our Army to save Parl& people from Cut- throats?
A30577And is not this the vomit of our adversaries at this day, who are drunke with malice and rage against us, yea, against Christ himselfe and his Saints?
A30577Are not they then like to perjudice the King more then any?
A30577Art not thou he that hast cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
A30577As if the Lord should say, What?
A30577Babylon is strong, who shall bring downe her power?
A30577Be not therefore daunted with such words as those, What?
A30577Because there was a positive order there that Moses must make trumpets and thus use them; Doth it follow that this must be so every where?
A30577Behold, is it not of the Lord of Hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
A30577But above all Objections this sticks most with us, Doth not the Scripture straitly charge us not to touch Gods Anointed?
A30577But although the Parliament tels us that what they doe is Law, yet they doe not shew where that Law is; where shall we finde it extant?
A30577But although there is nothing can be said, but God allows of these wars, yet were it not better in prudence that I be not seen in them?
A30577But do not our adversaries grow stronger then we?
A30577But doth not the King professe that he will maintain the Protestant Religion, and governe onely by the Laws?
A30577But even in the Houses, are not things carryed on in a Faction?
A30577But how comes it to passe, seeing God is thus The Lord of Hosts, that yet the adversaries of Gods people doe often prevaile in battel?
A30577But how miserable then will it be for them, when God curses them for the present, and when their soules are taken away at last?
A30577But howsoever were it not better to harken to peace, if possibly there may be wayes of Accommodation?
A30577But if Parliaments should degenerate and grow tyrannicall, what meanes of safety could there be for a State?
A30577But if we shall thus plead and stand for our liberties, how can we expect the King should ever look upon us with any respect, or confide in us?
A30577But is not this a Popish tenet, that in case of Religion Subjects may rise up against their King?
A30577But may we go against the command of the King?
A30577But now because some troubles arise, because we see war in our gates, how vile& unworthy are the spirits of many?
A30577But the question is, Whether no breach of Covenant may possibly in any case make a forfeiture?
A30577But then you say, What would they have more?
A30577But what if authority be abused, may we resist?
A30577But what if the King will not keepe to his agreement, may the Subject doe nothing?
A30577But what if the Kingdom be got by Conquest,& the right come in that way?
A30577But what is all this for the satisfaction to conscience about the Lawfulnesse or unlawfulnesse of resisting men that have power in any case?
A30577But what is that?
A30577But what is this bondage, that the spirit of a Christian will not, should not beare?
A30577But what shal wee say to the example of the Christians in the Primitive times, who suffered so much wrong under Tyrants, and would never resist?
A30577But what would the Lords or Commons have?
A30577But why is it used so frequently in that Prophecie more then others?
A30577But yet it may further be said, Grant the Parliament to be the Judge, how can it judge without the King?
A30577Can Babylon bee destroyed?
A30577Can the D. or any man think, that in justifying Arms in some case, we justifie all villanous conspiracies and out- rages?
A30577Christians, do not you professe God to be your Father?
A30577Did they even in times of Popery ever seek to blow up Parliament houses, as Papists have done?
A30577Did they ever plot any Treason, as Papists have done from time to time?
A30577Doe we heare of their pride and blasphemies?
A30577Doe you know who they are you thus abuse?
A30577From whence is this?
A30577God here speaks angerly, What am I the Lord of Hosts, and will you offer this?
A30577God will leave heaven to fight for his Church; will not you leave your shops and your houses?
A30577Hath God made all the world to bee under the lusts of twenty or thirty men?
A30577Here you see Babylon must down, and yet the Kings lament her fall: Who then must pull her down but the people?
A30577How can this Obiection, without wrangling, be admitted?
A30577How many men, who think themselves great, demeane themselves as if they thought themselves above Gods Commandments?
A30577How should Elisha slay, but by his prayers?
A30577How was all stilled now?
A30577How was this made good, that no weapon formed against thee shall prosper?
A30577I demand, what first invested such a Family with Regall power, more then another?
A30577If God had called for the sword before these things, what had become of us?
A30577If any thing for the Kings prerogative were propounded by some, and followed by others, dare any accuse the proceedings to be factious?
A30577If in this cause you should turn your backes upon your enemies, with what face could you ever after look upon your friends?
A30577If it be spoiled, what is my life worth?
A30577If men by hypocriticall devises should gaine as they desire, yet when God takes away their souls, what good have they then?
A30577If mens consciences be not satisfied in these things, what shal they do?
A30577If the Prophets exhorted not to resistance, then there may be no resistance, sayes the Doctor?
A30577If there were so many of a contrarie judgement more then the others, why do they not come and out- vote them in what things are amisse?
A30577If these men prevaile, is there not danger lest things should be carried as they please?
A30577If you fight against the King, who doe you fight for?
A30577Is it but a remote probabilitie that Kings were here first by election?
A30577Is not passive obedience required, if active can not be given?
A30577Is not the reason the same in this, although the degree inferiour?
A30577It is apparent this was Christ, for Joshua fell on his face, and worshipped, and said, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
A30577It may be some may say, Why, are we in any danger of such miseries as the Jews suffered under Antiochus?
A30577Joshua saw a man with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him, and said, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
A30577Lastly, how dreadfull must this glorious name of God needs be to all ungodly ones, who walk on in wayes of enmity against such a God?
A30577Let it be granted that the King hath the highest power, yet what propriety of speech is it to say that he is the highest power?
A30577Let us take heed our covetousnesse be not our undoing; and if our enemies find treasure with us, then how justly may they mock and jeere us?
A30577Now if the Question be asked, Why doth the Lord thus work in Armies?
A30577Now this is the question, what have you of the spirit of this great God?
A30577Now you know what was said of that place, Doth any good come out of Galile?
A30577Observe the variety of expressions, Faint not, Feare not, Tremble not, Be not terrified; Why?
A30577Oh thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet?
A30577Onely they wil not yeeld to mens wils and lusts beyond that authority they have over them, and who wil that hath the spirit of a man in him?
A30577Prophets, Priests have Gods hand and oyle upon them, and can not the power for no cause be taken from these?
A30577Resisting the Priests is condemned in Scripture; what?
A30577Shall not all the Armies in heaven and earth rather come together, and fight for her deliverance?
A30577Shall not his excellencie make you afraid?
A30577Shall the prohibition be good against Christians under Emperors persecuting Religion,& not against Subjects enjoying their Religion?
A30577Shall your brethren goe to war, and shall ye sit here?
A30577So I may say in this case, How many doe you reckon Jesus Christ for?
A30577Surely the Princes of Zoan are fooles, the counsails of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh are become brutish, where are they?
A30577The Ayre cryes, Lord shall I conveigh infection into his body, and poyson him?
A30577The Fire, shall I seize on him, and burne him?
A30577The Scripture bids, that the wicked should be taken from the throne of the King; Who should take them away?
A30577The Water, Shall I stop his breath?
A30577The answer is there, How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge against Askelon,& against the sea shore?
A30577The beasts of the field, Shall we run upon him, and tear him?
A30577The earth, Shall I open, and swallow him up?
A30577The second thing he sayes is, What meanes of safety had the Christians in and after the Apostles times?
A30577The spirits of those that seem to be the greatest terror amongst us, are mean and base: What worthy thing have they ever done?
A30577The substance of all that follows is, suppose that Subiects may take up Arms?
A30577There is a great deale of stir about these men, but what have they done?
A30577These men doe what lyes in them to put men upon examining, Whether the relation between King and people may not possibly be broke?
A30577They stamp for anger that they have them not, and if they had them, how would they stamp then?
A30577They venture their lives for us, and endure great hardship; shall not wee pray?
A30577This is most certaine, who are hardest to beleeve what the Parliament sayes, but Papists, and notorious blasphemers, and prophane livers?
A30577This may be when Kings are elective, but what will you say concerning Kings that are hereditary?
A30577Thou, even thou art to be feared, and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
A30577Though an Host shall encampe against me, my heart should not feare; Though Warre should rise against me, in this will I be confident: In what?
A30577Thus it is this day with us, how did we not long agoe groan under our bondage?
A30577Thy meat, thy drink, Shall we choak him, or be bane to him?
A30577To what purpose are Subsidies and ayds denyed, if the King hath power to take our estates when he pleaseth, and there must be no resistance?
A30577To what purpose are good Laws made?
A30577True, so long as they goe according to their power given them, or as long as they have it, but may they not possibly be discharged of it?
A30577Vile men are risen up, and they seeke to ravish the Church, the Spouse of the Lord of Hosts, and do you think he will suffer this before his face?
A30577We are troubled at the sword comming neare our Cities; but how sore would the misery be, if it should come into our Cities?
A30577What Captain, what Souldier of renown, but delights to see his children and alliance, those who challenge any interest in him to be valiant?
A30577What a mercy is it for us to be as Gedeons sleece, dry, when all about us have been wet, not with dew, but with blood?
A30577What a mighty work of God was this?
A30577What acceptance can we then expect from him, or successe by him?
A30577What an Host did God muster up against Pharaoh?
A30577What an unworthy thing were it for the son of such a brave warrior as the K. of Sweden was to be of a low, mean poor, cowardly spirit?
A30577What blood hath beene of late shed by them, even in coole blood?
A30577What hope hath an hypocrite though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soule?
A30577What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poore?
A30577What mean you?
A30577What need we be put to meddle with any thing but this in the case in hand?
A30577What need we trouble our selves then any farther?
A30577What say you to the Kings of Judah?
A30577What sayes Ahasuerus concerning Haman, Will he force the Queen before my face?
A30577What the condition of our Houses of Parliament, whether they be safe or not?
A30577What though Monarchie be the best?
A30577What, will not you be ready to shew more respect to your General this Lord of Hosts, then any heathen shall do to a Heathen General?
A30577When the Spirit of the Lord came upon Sampson, Gideon, and others of the Worthies of the Lord, what great things did they?
A30577Where brake he them?
A30577Where doth the Scripture say so?
A30577Where should we seek for light, but in the Sun?
A30577Whether Kingly power be such an indelible character upon any person, as nothing can ever possibly put it out?
A30577Whether that which is by compact and covenant, do not bind mutually?
A30577Who denies all this?
A30577Who hath the burden of the great worke in this State layne upon but the Religious party?
A30577Who have ventured so much of their estates to reduce Ireland to the obedience of the King, as those that are thus called Round- heads?
A30577Who is the King of glory?
A30577Who so fit to be used in the battels of the Lord, as they who have most interest in the Lord?
A30577Who was there in the world then to kill him?
A30577Why are the Princes of Zoan so much mentioned there?
A30577Why doth the D. speake of stretching forth the hand against the Lords Anointed?
A30577Why is it thus put upon this?
A30577Why of the South?
A30577Why shall they encounter with dangers, and suffer hard things, and you sit still and have your ease?
A30577Why should this dead dog curse my Lord the King?
A30577Why then, when any thing is propounded by some for the good of the Kingdome, and followed by others, should it come under such a censure?
A30577Why?
A30577Wil our lives be worth the taking up in the streets, if we out- live our Religion and Liberties?
A30577With what infinite indignation must God needs look upon such vile wormes, who dare resist such a glorious Majesty as he is?
A30577Would you know why so many of the Gentry in most Counties throughout the Kingdome are so malignant?
A30577Yea, and hath not our King acknowledged our brethren the Scots his loyal Subjects, and yet they did as much as we, yea, a great deale more?
A30577and if the King should put them out of his protection, what doe you thinke would follow upon this?
A30577and twenty in the Lords House see more then sixty that are of a contrary judgement?
A30577and what though the King should have power of a negative voice in the passing all Bils?
A30577and who are they?
A30577are not we made of the same matter that men are?
A30577are they come to hurt my Mountaine, my holy Mountaine, my Church?
A30577are they not led by a fevv?
A30577but if abide in our Cities, what miserable spoile and ruine would there be?
A30577can nothing therfore discharge the Priest of his priestly office, and my acknowledging of his priestly power?
A30577do you not know your Father is the Lord of Hosts?
A30577doth not the King forbid plunderings now,& yet do they not plunder as they please?
A30577hath it not beene published in your City by chiefe men in the Army, that the great things in the Army were done by those that are called Round- heads?
A30577hath not the King graciously yeelded to them, almost in all things they can desire?
A30577have they ever stood before those that opposed them?
A30577he said it even to Kings: Whom should they not touch?
A30577how can they be under his protection if they be his enemies?
A30577if then they get power into their hands fully, what will not they do then?
A30577is it not all one to me as if he had refused to pay the debt?
A30577is it not time for us now to have our hearts raised above these things?
A30577is not the very life of the Kingdom in danger?
A30577must he not needs be convinced that here surely hath been the military art of some skilfull Commanders working?
A30577surely it must be for his enemies?
A30577taking up Arms: Was it not a most unjust and vile conspiracie, meerly out of the pride of malicious spirits?
A30577that ever have been before us; for vvho knows hovv many vvere present or absent vvhen it vvas resolved upon the Question?
A30577the very foundations of this our Land are out of course; but what have the righteous done?
A30577to defend it?
A30577to have as much power to govern the Church as they have?
A30577what are you mad ▪ Doe you know what you doe?
A30577what doe they stand for more?
A30577what hope can they have then?
A30577what horrid blasphemies are there against this Prince of the Host of his people?
A30577what rage even against God himselfe?
A30577where are the wise men?
A30577where are your spirits of magnanimity and fortitude, of courage and valour, beseeming the children of such a glorious Father the Lord of Hosts?
A30577where for heat, but in the fire?
A30577where for valour& victory, but in the Lord of Hosts?
A30577where for water, but in the rivers?
A30577whether their priviledges be broke or not?
A30577who endeavours it?
A30577who so fit to venture his body to the sword in time of war, as he that can give his body to the fire in time of peace?
A30577why doe they now stand out so as they doe?
A30577wil it not set the Kings heart against us?
A30577will you fight against the King?
A58808''T is true indeed, the Passage from one to t''other is commonly very painful and grievous; but what of that?
A588082, 3?
A58808And being so agreeable, how can they but abound with Pleasure and Delight?
A58808And by the same Reason, he that hath so strongly inclined our Natures to the Love of our Off- spring, shall not he love his own?
A58808And can we deny thee any Thing after such an Instance of Love, especially when thy Demands are so gentle and reasonable?
A58808And canst thou be cold and insensible in the midst of so many prevailing Endearments?
A58808And do they not many times find the difficulties so great, as that they are quite beaten off and utterly disheartned by them?
A58808And hath not thy God obliged thee infinitely more than the best Friend in the World?
A58808And he that gave the Ear, shall not he hear?
A58808And hence is that of the antient Poet, Cum sis ipse nocens, moritur cur Victima pro te?
A58808And how else can I imitate him, but by obeying him?
A58808And if it was no Fault at all for God to make us so, what Reason have we to blame him for continuing us what he made us?
A58808And is it less criminal to be ungrateful to God, than to thy Fellow- creature?
A58808And is it less infamous to be an ungrateful Wretch towards God, than towards a mortal Friend?
A58808And is it likely that this Earth, which is but the Sink of the World, should be the only inhabitable Part of it?
A58808And is it not high Time for us to begin to love him now, who hath loved us so long already for nothing without the least Shadow of Requital?
A58808And is it not wondrous Love in him to make such liberal Provisions for such undeserving Guests?
A58808And is this so hard a Restraint to be confined to do nothing but what becomes us, and with- hold from nothing but counter- mining our own Happiness?
A58808And now after all this what can the Lord our God do more for us that is consistent either with his own Wisdom, or with the Freedom of our Natures?
A58808And now can our Hearts hold when we think of this?
A58808And now how can we think of this, and not be affected with it?
A58808And shall we grudg to pay him a Mite to whom we are indebted Millions?
A58808And what greater Encouragement can we expect, or desire?
A58808And what shameful Retreats and false Colours, what Fucus''s and Daubings are we feign to use to avoid Contradiction and Discovery?
A58808And what though the State and the Laws and Customs of it be in a great Measure unknown to me?
A58808And who would not, that sets any Value upon the Glory of being dear to God?
A58808And yet he parted with him out of Love to me; and shall not I part with these for the Love of him?
A58808Are they not forced to strive and wrastle with themselves, and to do the greatest Violence to their own Inclinations?
A58808But how comes this to pass?
A58808But if God be infinitely the best Master in the World, as doubtless he is, Why do we stand Debating the Case any longer?
A58808But is there not some particular End for which God doth so earnestly crave and exact our Love?
A58808But now upon what higher Motive could he have made a Grant of Pardon to us than upon the most meritorious Sufferings of his own Son for us?
A58808But then you will say, by what Signs and Tokens shall we know whether we are righteous or no?
A58808Can any Physick be nauseous or distastful that is prescribed to recover us into such an happy Immortality?
A58808Can any Thing be unwelcom to us that is in Order to so blessed an End?
A58808Can any of my Lusts be as dear to me as the only begotten Son was to the Father of all things?
A58808Can he be so insensible of his own Happiness as not to be enamoured with the blessed Cause of it?
A58808Can the Praises and Panegyricks of a small Handful of Breath either make him more glorious than he is, or more glorious in his own Esteem?
A58808Can there be any Perfection in us that is not in God in the utmost Degree of Possibility?
A58808Can we be cold and indifferent in the midst of such a vigorous Flame?
A58808Doth God need our Love, that he so importunately calls for it?
A58808For God''s sake consider, Sirs, what is there in this World that you have Reason to be fond of, what in the other that you need be afraid of?
A58808For I beseech you, what hurt is it for Men to be made free Agents, and left to their own Choice whether they will be happy or miserable?
A58808For besides the Honour of being his Favourites, what an infinite Advantage may we expect to reap from it?
A58808For can a Man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
A58808For do not the Generality of those Men that have attempted a religious Life find by Experience a great deal of difficulty?
A58808For how can I love God, and not think him lovely?
A58808For how can a Man chearfully comply with what he hates, or become a Volunteer to that which is his Torment?
A58808For how could his giving of his Son have been an Expression of his Love to the World, if he had not given him for the publick Benefit of the World?
A58808For how much Pains do we ordinarily take upon far less Hopes?
A58808For if these were either casual or necessary, why should they not happen alike to all, as well as ordinary Providences?
A58808For till we have recovered our Hearts from the World into our own Disposal, how can we resign them to God?
A58808For what Advantage is it to God, that we applaud and commend him?
A58808For what are the Pains of a Moment to the Pleasures of an Eternity?
A58808For what can be more agreeable to a reasonable Nature, than to adore and love, to praise and confide in the Fountain of its Being and Happiness?
A58808For what doth the Lord our God require of us, bot only to act like Men, and follow the Prescriptions of Right Reason?
A58808For what great Skill doth it require in an Almighty Agent to make others miserable?
A58808For what higher Mark can our Ambition aim at, than that of being beloved by the greatest and most lovely Being?
A58808He that planted the Eye, shall not he see?
A58808How I say, can I steadily reflect upon such a Nature as this, without being charmed and captivated with the Love of it?
A58808How can I desire to be like him, and not take Care to imitate him?
A58808How can I think him lovely, and not desire to be like him?
A58808How can our Voyage be troublesome, when our Port is the Indies of Pleasure?
A58808How can we account any Work hard, of which Heaven is the Wages?
A58808How can we any longer avoid being captivated with the Thoughts of such a generous Kindness?
A58808How can we faint in our Christian Race when we see the Crown of Glory hanging over the Goal?
A58808How do thy blessed Saints resent our Unkindness towards thee?
A58808How then canst thou excuse thy Coldness and Indifference to him?
A58808How then could he enjoy himself, whilst in the Glass of his own Omniscience he beheld himself so odiously Represented?
A58808If you ask again how you shall know whether you so intend and act?
A58808In the Name of God what would you have Sirs, would you have Heaven drop into your Mouths, while you lie still and do nothing?
A58808Is God thus naturally and essentially good?
A58808Is God thus naturally and essentially good?
A58808Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that we are righteous?
A58808Is it possible that true Love should consist with taking Pleasure in the only Things that can grieve and offend its Object?
A58808Is it so hard a Matter for Men to act like Men, and not to live their own Reverse and Antipodes?
A58808Lastly, if we consider the Fire, what a most useful Servant hath the great Creator rendred it to Mankind?
A58808Or can the Tree be indifferent to him, when the Fruit of it is so infinitely grateful?
A58808Or doth he court our Love meerly that he may glory in the Number of his Lovers, and pride himself in those infinite Flames that concenter in him?
A58808Or were there ever such Lovers heard of, that affected the Deformities that were most hateful to the Beloved?
A58808Or will you urge that you thought it in vain to return, since by your former Sins you had for ever forfeited the Favour of God?
A58808Shall not his Nature be as strongly inclined to do good to them?
A58808Shall we plead that our Condition was hopeless and desperate, we being bound over for our past Sins to an irrevocable Damnation?
A58808Since therefore he hath loved me without any Desert of mine, can I forbear to love him who hath deserved so well of me?
A58808That dost not think thy Son too good to redeem us, thy Spirit to Sanctify, thy everlasting Heaven to Crown and Reward us?
A58808To what a Degree must thou love us, who thinkest none of these Things too dear and good for us?
A58808Was it not a much higher Act of Love to give his Son for Sinners, than to receive poor prostrate Penitents into Favour?
A58808Well then, if neither of these be the Reason, what is it?
A58808Well, but how doth this appear?
A58808Well, but then how shall we resolve our selves in this most material Enquiry?
A58808What Degree of Love to God is required by the Law of Perfection?
A58808What Degree of Love to God is required by the Law of Sincerity, which is the Law by which we must stand or fall for ever?
A58808What a convenient Volary is it for feathered Animals?
A58808What a dismal Prospect of thy Providence is here?
A58808What are we made of?
A58808What can be more suitable to a sociable Nature than to be kind and obliging, courteous and beneficent to all we converse with?
A58808What do thy holy Angels think of us?
A58808What fruit had ye then in those things,( i. e. those Sins) whereof ye are now ashamed?
A58808What infinite Sums of Love must we owe him?
A58808What is it that is included in this Condition?

A61876God he turns away; For what communion hath light with darkness?
A61876Gods resistance supposes mans assault, and did ever any harden themselves against God and prosper?
A61876Had others received the mercies you have, and being beseeched by them, would they not, think you, be perswaded?
A61876Has pains been taken about it?
A61876Has this purging of your selves cost you Prayers and Tears before''t was done?

A61876Sirs, who layes the Cloth, who spreads the Table, who sends in provision?
A61876Sirs, would you have his company, whom you have no love for?

A61876So will God say to thee, if thou say to hi, as Ahab said to Jehosaphat; wilt thou go with me to Ramoth Gilead?
A61876So, sinner what is this that thou hast done?

A61876What were your Heads, Ears, Eyes, and Tongues?
A61876What were your Hearts, and Hands?
A61876What will you do in the day when God shall come to deal with you, and reckon with you about your layings out upon your Pride?
A61876What work will the Devil make, if God be not with us to deliver us?
A61876What, will you strive with your Maker?
A61876When shall it once be?
A61876Whither will the Devil drive you, if God do not stop him?
A61876Why Sirs shall God loose and miss of the main end of bestowing his mercies on you?
A61876Why do you not rather suffer your selves to be derided and despised?
A61876Why have you done this?
A61876Why then should I not obey this command, and believe and rest on Christ for my cleansing?
A61876Will not Linnen, Brass and Pewter Vessels be made clean, nor Bodies be purged without allowing time?
A61876Will you conform to these in the Devils ways?
A61876Will you hazard and endanger your selves by conforming to, and keeping company with the men of this world?
A61876Wilt thou not be made clean?
A61876Wilt thou not be made clean?
A61876Winning others by your conversation?
A61876Working out your salvation with fear and trembling?
A61876Would Professors were not so too?
A61876Would Professors were not so too?
A61876You would not suffer with it, and will you sin with it?
A61876You your selves turn away from filthy Creatures; and will not God much more turn away from filthy sinners?
A61876and can not the Father be with the Child that is many miles distant from him?
A61876and that from poor despicable Creatures, your servants?
A61876and that, in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?
A61876and will you serve their Idols?
A61876even we who in some things are Non- conformists?
A61876for should they of better principles conform to them of worse?
A61876or shall ever any person be able to say, I would have had Jesus Christ, to be with me as a Prophet, Priest and King, but he would not?
A61876or what communion hath light with darkness?
A61876shall I praise you in this?
A61876shall any person be ever able to say, I would have had God to be my God, and to be with me as a Father, Friend, and Husband, but he would not?
A61876shall it ever be said, this poor Soul would have had the presence of God, but God would not afford it?
A61876what to those that hate you, scorn you, scoff at you, make songs upon you, speak evil of you, and separate from you in Gods ways?
A61876when shall it once be?
A61876who ever sought the presence of God; and was denied it?
A61876with such as are in misery?
A61876would Daniel be with God to the Hazard of his life?
A61876would you have him, whom you do not love to come unto you?
A61876would you have your souls gathered hereafter with those you conform to here, and whose fashions you have learned here?
A61876would you not think him to be of a flinty heart?
A61876yes, for he is gracious: and with the weak?
A61876yes, for he is long suffering, and with backslider ●?
A61876yes, for he is merciful: and with such as are unworthy?
A657013 dly, Doth not the Psalmist say, The Heavens declare the Glory of God, and the Firmament sheweth his handy work?
A657013 dly, He is here speaking of seeking the Creatures for our good: Now hath the Body any apprehensions of what is for our good?
A657013 dly, What is the Business of a Servant, is it not to obey the Pleasure of his Lord, and yield himself up entirely in Subjection to his Commands?
A65701Again, when he saith, God Wills and Acts for himself, what doth he mean?
A65701And again, The Lord will give Grace, and Glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly?
A65701And are not all its Motions regular and pleasing?
A65701And are not these pleasant things in the Hebrew her desirable things, and in the Greek 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A65701And can he be the only Author and Cause of our Love to all other things, and yet forbid that very love which he alone produceth in us?
A65701And can that be desirable which is in no sense our Good, nor can communicate any Good to us?
A65701And do we not desire this as a publick Good?
A65701And doth he not here say, that he is taught of God to love other things besides God for his sake?
A65701And doth not he act for a Creature, who doth all he doth for the Good of his Creatures?
A65701And hath he not then commanded us to desire, and so to love what he commandeth us daily to ask of him, whom we thus love with all our Hearts?
A65701And hath not God by these Expressions first called us to himself, and then sent us to his Creatures, as his Blessings on our Obedience?
A65701And how can the Will be moved towards All Good, but by being moved towards an Universal Being who in himself is, and contains All Good?
A65701And if I be not wanting in my Duty to him, how can I sin against him?
A65701And if our Being is the Being of our selves, must not the love of it be the love of our selves?
A65701And is Food only the occasion, is it not the means by God appointed for the continuance of Life?
A65701And is God such a one?
A65701And is not the Giver of these Faculties and Creatures the sole Author of it?
A65701And is not this as much a demonstration, that God can not love himself with a Love of Benevolence?
A65701And is not this desire and expectation a movement of the Soul?
A65701And may not Madam B. and Madam I. be to the Lady, Mulier desiderii?
A65701And might they not desire what was the very promise made to the Seed of Abraham?
A65701And must he therefore be the Proper and Immediate, yea, the Sole Object of this Love?
A65701And must not then the Moderation here required Respect the same things?
A65701And must not then the Pains and Miseries of the Damn''d be, according to this Philosophy, immediately caused by God, and by him only?
A65701And must they not then be lovely, and proper Objects of desire?
A65701And since he will be putting Cases, why stopped he here where he did?
A65701And so of the Pleasure that we find in the Recovery of our Health, and the Refreshments of our wearied Spirits?
A65701And that the Soul that moves toward the Creature, must necessarily forsake the Creator?
A65701And the same reason to fix the Eyes of our Understanding on, and direct the Motions of our Will towards him?
A65701And then I ask again, Whether this Man may not be defective in his Duty, for not making the Creature the Object of his desire?
A65701And then doth he not send us to these Creatures for satisfaction of those Appeties he hath implanted in us towards them?
A65701And when we grieve for them as dead, and gone into a State of Happiness, can we do this out of Benevolence to them?
A65701And whence ariseth the Obligation to such Praises and Thanksgivings for them?
A65701And wherein doth the Goodness of these things consist, but in their fitness to serve the ends for which these Creatures were created?
A65701And why are they commanded to rejoice in them, and so bless him for them?
A65701And why th ● n may we not desire any other of God''s good Creatures, why not fruitful Seasons, why not Food?
A65701And will it not hence follow, that he is the only Author and Cause of our Natural Love, Bent, and Inclination to every thing besides himself?
A65701And will not Self- love teach us to desire what is so needful and so beneficial to us?
A65701Are none of these things truely and really lovely, because they are Creatures?
A65701Are not Good and Righteous Men the greatest Blessings to a Nation, and may we not then desire the continuance and encrease of them as our Good?
A65701Are not all these Acts of Benevolent affection to God?
A65701Are not our Petitions of these things from God our desires of them?
A65701Are not such Persons very needful and beneficial to us in this Life?
A65701Are the generality of Men capable of Understanding it?
A65701Are these thoughts worthy of God?
A65701Are they not all declared by the Wisdom of God to be desirable?
A65701Are we not therefore to be filled with the Fruits of Righteousness, because they tend to the Praise and Glory of God?
A65701Aut quando d ● citur, Nolite ista diligere, hoc dicitur?
A65701But if they were their good things, why might they not desire or effect them proportionably to the Goodness that was in them?
A65701But must we therefore grant to the Papist such a living Iudge, or to the Quaker such an Infallible Spirit?
A65701But this affords a demonstration of her mistake in all that I have quoted from her, for may we not desire what God doth promise?
A65701But will the Love of God asswage her Hunger, quench her Thirst, or cloth her Nakedness?
A65701Can he act for a Creature?
A65701Can he be said to love God with all his Love, N. B. who loves him only with a part?
A65701Can he have it the more for doing so?
A65701Can he make a Creature his end?
A65701Can he move us from himself?
A65701Can he move us from himself?
A65701Can it be unjust to gratifie my natural Appetites, according to the intention of the God of Nature?
A65701Can it desire, or seek any thing under that Notion?
A65701Can not I desire but one thing only in the World, and yet at the same time wish well to every thing else?
A65701Can that which thus affords us the knowledge of that God whom to know is life eternal, be in no sense our Good, wholly unable to do us any Good?
A65701Can the regular application of the Faculty of desire to such Objects as are agreeable to our Nature, be either unjust or unsafe?
A65701Can they not give us so much as one grateful Sensation, one little contemptible Pleasure resulting from this Knowledge of God?
A65701Can we cease truly to love God, by desiring that which he doth promise?
A65701Can we forsake the Creator, by moving towards what he thus excites us to?
A65701Can we love God too much, or Creatures too little?
A65701Can we love Happiness too much, or the World too little?
A65701Can we take the Stranger in, without desiring an House in which we may receive him?
A65701Did he not for the Ioy that was set before him endure the Cross?
A65701Did not Ioash weep over Elisha, because he was the Charriot of Israel, and the Horsemen thereof?
A65701Did not all Iudah and Ierusalem mourn for Iosiah, because they said, Under his shadow we shall live among the Heathens?
A65701Do not those Promises suppose in us a Love of, and a desire to enjoy the Blessings promised?
A65701Do they suffer these Pains in order to a greater Good?
A65701Do we reap no pleasure from these pleasant Lands, Fields, Vineyards, Houses, Furniture, or this pleasant Bread?
A65701Do you not call that a sensual Desire, whose Object is a sensual Good?
A65701Does not God make all things for himself?
A65701Does not Mr. N. say, There are some things which I love with great Passion, such as are Conversation with select Friends?
A65701Does not his Apostle say as expresly, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Let no Man seek his own things?
A65701Does not his mind move with alacrity, and unwearied vigour?
A65701Does this exhaust the Sense of this great Commandment?
A65701Doth he not enjoin us to do good to others for his sake?
A65701Doth he not require upon this account that we should be zealous in the promotion of his Honour?
A65701Doth he require that only which no Man can defraud him of?
A65701Doth it not suppose that there be many things that may be desired?
A65701Doth it not therefore lay an Obligation on us to love our Creator, because we by receiving it have received Good from him?
A65701Doth not St. Paul excite us to live Godly, because Godliness is profitable to all things, having the promise of this Life?
A65701Doth not the Comparison shew that these things in their kind are good?
A65701Doth not the Question plainly suppose, That leaving of these things was that for which they might expect a Recompence?
A65701Doth one in Ten thousand now believe it?
A65701Doth she not in all this speak of the Love of Benevolence?
A65701Doth that find Pleasure from the Fire, or remember that it did so?
A65701For can God move us towards the Creature?
A65701For can we feed the Hungry, or give drink to the Thirsty, without desiring to have Food and Drink to give them?
A65701For is the desire of Enjoying him all that he desires from us, to testifie and express our love to him?
A65701For what can he wish to himself that he has not already?
A65701For what wise Man would think much to relinquish a lesser, for a greater Good?
A65701For wherefore hath he given to us Organs capable of great and exquisite Delight in all our Senses?
A65701For, First, Do Mr. N. and the Lady recommend unto us their Sense of this command as an effectual preservative against Sin?
A65701Furthermore, I ask what doth he mean, when he saith, The Love of God can be no other than the Love of himself?
A65701Hath it any apprehension of the Objects that make Impressions on it as the natural or occasional Causes of our Pleasure?
A65701Hath not God made these things the matter of his Promises, and his Encouragements to Duty?
A65701Hath not this the evidence of a first Principle, that God acts only for himself?
A65701Hath she not told us, That the desire of God, and the desire of the Creature in their own natures, are incompatible?
A65701He deserves Perfect and Angelical Obedience; but are we therefore, in this State of Imperfection, obliged to it?
A65701Here do not all the Ancient Commentators agree that the Apostle prescribes mediocrity as to these transitory Things we can enjoy but for a short time?
A65701How bright and lucid are the Regions of his Soul?
A65701How can we thus do good to them only by communicating that which can not do them any Good?
A65701How entire and undisturbed are his Enjoyments?
A65701How full and overflowing are his Joys?
A65701How many myriads have lost their Reputation, Honesty, their Conscience, and their own Souls to save it?
A65701How ravishing and lasting are his Delights?
A65701How solid and profound is his Peace?
A65701How then can it be Charity to give that to others, which out of kindness we desire not to our own selves?
A65701How unintelligible therefore is it to talk of all these things only as Movements of the Body, and and not as Movements of the Soul?
A65701If He does as much Produce my Love, as He doth my Being, why hath He not as much Right to my Love, as to any part of my Nature?
A65701If it be better to marry than to burn, must it must not be good to desire a Wife, that I may not burn?
A65701If so, why may not the Creatures be desirable, though they do us no Good?
A65701If the first, why should he Will or Act for what he hath already, and can not chuse but have?
A65701If the latter, the Question returns, What, can he, who is infinitely and necessarily happy, Will or Act for that he hath not already?
A65701If then the Love we plead for will not permit the Lover to offend in Mind, in Will, Affection, or Desire, how can it suffer him to offend in Action?
A65701If these things were in no sense their good, why are they stiled God''s Blessings and his Gifts?
A65701If they were not fit Objects of Desire, where is the punishment in the withdrawing them?
A65701In fine, Doth this Notion tend at all to abate or lessen our desires of the Creature?
A65701In particular, the love of Life, which is by them esteemed Love of Benevolence, to what base Fears, and sordid Actions doth it not expose us?
A65701Is God concerned that we should not want that which is a necessary Adherent of our Beings?
A65701Is Physick only the occasion, is it not the means of my Health?
A65701Is a part the whole?
A65701Is he not always his own end?
A65701Is it a purely passive Love which it is not in the Power of Devils to withhold, and in which the greatest Saints can not excel them?
A65701Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous, or is it gain to him that thou makest thy way perfect?
A65701Is it justice to God to say, that he requires us to Pray, and Praise him, for what he requires us totally to withdraw our desires from?
A65701Is it kindness to our selves not to desire for our selves that which is needful for the Body?
A65701Is it not evident that he whose Will is thus resigned to the Will of God, can not be cross''d in his Desires?
A65701Is it not evidently the Soul that apprehends, remembers, seeks, desires, and doth all these things?
A65701Is it not the Pleasure annexed to the Enjoyment of these things which all the World pursue?
A65701Is it our interest not to desire Food convenient for us, or is it for our Honour to think the Blessings God hath promised not worth a wish?
A65701Is it, that he Wills, and Acts for that which he hath already, and can not chuse but have, or for what he hath not?
A65701Is not Vir desiderii, the Scripture Expression, for a Person highly beloved?
A65701Is not causa causae, causa causati?
A65701Is not the Pleasure which reflects from them as occasions, or as natural Causes of it, still the same?
A65701Is not this as true of the measures of Divine Love assigned by us?
A65701Is sleep only the occasion, is it not the means of my Refreshment?
A65701May I not love what is Good to be chosen with a love of Concupiscence?
A65701May not the Parish of B. desire that Mr. N. may continue their Minister, as being a Good to them?
A65701May we not always Contemplate and Enjoy his Beauty, asswage our Thirst at this Fountain, and feast our hungry Souls upon his never- failing Charms?
A65701May we not desire of God that he would give them charge concerning us?
A65701Might they not love, or be pleased with a Land so glorious, so pleasant, and desirable?
A65701Moreover what are these natural Appetites, but natural Desires?
A65701Moreover, is it true that all the Pains which God inflicts upon the Wicked in this Life are Medicinal, and in order to their greater Good?
A65701Must I needs hate my Master, if I love my Saviour; or despise him, if I cleave to my Lord Christ?
A65701Must not not our Works shine before Men, that we may glorifie our heavenly Father?
A65701Must not the continuance of it be the continuance of our Good?
A65701Must not then the words be necessarily Interpreted of Masters Co- ordinate, or Masters whose Commands and Services do interfere?
A65701Must not these Sentiments be highly Ravishing and Entertaining, must they not fill every Faculty with a full Tide of Ioy?
A65701Must they not be Sweets that know no Bitter, Ioys without Allay, Pleasures that have no Sting?
A65701Nor can God love himself with a Love of Desire: For what Indigence in him can be the Ground of this Love of Concupiscence?
A65701Now can Mr. N. charge us with giving the same love to the Creature which we give to the Creator?
A65701Now could he do all this without any Movement of his Soul towards them?
A65701Now do we not find here all that Mr. N. condemns in our Relative Love?
A65701Now doth she here mean the corrupt manners of the World?
A65701Now if God be the only Author and Cause of our Love, has He not then the Sole Right and Title to it?
A65701Now is this the Love God calls for in this Text?
A65701Now, doth she not by these words confess there is some good in other things, and consequently something desirable?
A65701Now, if these temporal Enjoyments were not indeed good things, why is the witholding of them stiled the witholding of good things from them?
A65701Nunquid non est in his modus?
A65701Of the Pains the bloody Hector suffers in a Duel by a mortal Wound?
A65701Of the wicked Soldier mortally wounded in the Field?
A65701Or Cloath the Naked, without desiring to have wherewith to Cloath him?
A65701Or is he any other way the satisfier of our Desires of these things, than by affording us those Creatures he made on purpose for those ends?
A65701Or must he love them too much, if he love them at all?
A65701Or shew any Inclination for lower Delights, when courted to the Enjoyment of the Highest?
A65701Or what Encouragement can such Promises afford them thus to love him?
A65701Or what effect can they have on us to deter us from the evil of our ways?
A65701Or why doth Peter say to Christ, We have left all( these things) and followed thee, what shall we have?
A65701Or why doth Solomon so earnestly desire, That God, upon their Prayer, and their Repentance, would grant Deliverance from the forementioned Evils?
A65701Or, do we not so from the Sense of our own Loss of one so good, and so desirable to us?
A65701Or, rather doth he not deserve infinitely more than we, or any of his Creatures can bestow upon him?
A65701Secondly, He can not absolutely have forbidden the desire of Honour; for if so, why hath he planted in us such a natural thirst after it?
A65701Secondly, I ask what Grammar will not endure it?
A65701Should we not be grieved at, and industrious to prevent whatever tends to the Dishonour of his Holy Name?
A65701So unintelligible is this inward self- centring Principle of Mr. N. Doth not the Scripture say, God hath made all things for himself?
A65701That we should endeavour the Repentance of the Sinner, because this creates joy in Heaven, and God is highly pleased with it?
A65701That we should not do it immoderately; and is not that sufficient warrant, so to interpret the other Particulars?
A65701That we should rejoice in every thing by which his Holy Name is Glorified?
A65701That which we never can put off, never can be with without?
A65701The Atheist or Debauched Person taken away by a sudden stroke or by a violent Death?
A65701The Corn, Wine and Oil to comfort and make glad the Heart of Man?
A65701The Fruits of the Earth to sustain him?
A65701The Ox, the Ass, the Horse for Travel and for Tillage of the Earth; the Flocks and Herds, to feed and clothe him?
A65701The Young Lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing?
A65701The horrid Criminal presently put upon the Rack and there exspiring?
A65701These concupiscible Treasures with which she fills the Wise Man''s House?
A65701Thirdly, Do they say the Love of God they plead for makes the best provision for our Pleasure?
A65701To take his own Instance, Do we approach to the Fire by a Bodily movement without desiring the Fire, and expecting Pleasure from it?
A65701To this Question therefore, Can God move us towards a Creature?
A65701Ut non manducetis, aut non bibatis aut filios non procreetis?
A65701Was it not given to the Children of Men for their use?
A65701Was not the Air made for him to breath in, the Fire to warm him, the Water to afford him drink?
A65701Was not the Earth made to be inhabited by him?
A65701Were not the living Creatures given him for Food, as the Herb?
A65701What Logick, or what Grammar will endure this?
A65701What a firm stable Rest does his Soul find when she thus reposes her full weight upon God?
A65701What a settled Calm possesses his Breast?
A65701What can an infinitely perfect and necessary Being farther desire to himself?
A65701What can be too difficult to do, to acquire a more perfect Enjoyment of what we thus love and prize?
A65701What can be too hard to suffer for the sake of the chief Object which hath thus won our heart?
A65701What gave rise to the Corruptions of the Heathen World?
A65701What is it that gratifies them but the Enjoyment of the thing desired?
A65701What means he by these Questions?
A65701What motive can such Promises afford us, to serve the Lord with chearfulness and gladness of heart i ● the abundance of all things?
A65701What of the pains of the Holy Martyrs flagrant in Flames of Love to God, are they inflicted on them only as they are Sinners?
A65701What therefore must it be here to serve God, but to give up our selves entirely to his Service, and the Obedience of his Will?
A65701What thinks he of the Despair, Horror, the Agonies both of Soul and Body some desperately wicked Persons lie under at the hour of death?
A65701What thinks he of the direful Agonies and Sufferings of the Blessed Iesus, was he also a Sinner?
A65701What though that part be the larger part,''t is but a part still, and is a part of the whole?
A65701What to serve Mammon, but to give up our selves to the pursuit of Riches, and to obey the Desires and Cravings of our covetous and worldly Appetites?
A65701What, can an Endless Happiness, and Immense Glory be desired too much?
A65701What, can infinite Good be loved too much?
A65701Whence comes wars and fightings among us?
A65701Wherefore hath he caused the fruitful Earth to furnish us with things so grateful to the Palat, so fragrant to the Smell, so pleasant to the Eye?
A65701Wherein consists the kindness of God designed in Creation of them?
A65701Whether by these Savings he taught Men to love God less th ● n ● e r ● ● ● ired, to defraud him of his due, to r ● sist his W ● ll?
A65701Why do you covet, and so zealously affect the World''s good things?
A65701Why doth he promise it so oft as the reward of Wisdom?
A65701Why hath he made it a commendation of Faith, that by it the Elders obtained a good report?
A65701Why hath he made it our Duty to pursue whatever is praise- worthy, honourable, and of good report?
A65701Why hath he told us, A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches; that it is better than the precious Ointment?
A65701Why then did she her self propose this Argument to move us to the Enjoyment, and consequently to the desire of the Creature?
A65701Why then doth she here give us this as the Definition of that Pleasure which she declares to be the grand motive to Action?
A65701Why then should it be thought such a stretch of the Desire of Happiness, to make it Intire and Exclusive of all Labour for the World?
A65701Why therefore doth she move us by this consideration, to secure to our selves what we may not desire?
A65701Why therefore doth she say, That in all reason Creatures ought not to be thought desirable?
A65701Will not that Love which will not suffer me to Sin against God preserve me holy, pure, and harmless before him in love?
A65701Will therefore Mr. N. say, That because God is the Author of all this Love of Benevolence,''t is just and reasonable he should have it all?
A65701Yea lastly, if they were not good and desirable things, wherein consists the hurt and Curse in being stripped and deprived of them?
A65701Yea, whether we eat or drink, or whatever we do, must we not do all to the Glory of God?
A65701Yea, why are they said to be blessed in them?
A65701and engaging to them who seek first the Kingdom of God, that all other things shall be added to them?
A65701entailing upon Godliness the Promises of this Life?
A65701or where is the motive to depart from evil, that they might prevent these things?
A65701to love his House, his Ministers, his Servants, because they are related to him?
A65701— And why then should it be thought such a stretch of the Love of God, to make it intire and exclusive of all other Loves?
A65701— Nunquid non est in his modus?
A65701〈 ◊ 〉 it kindness to our selves to hate our ow ● ● ● esh, as the Apostle intimates he doth, who takes not care to to nourish it?
A51294A Cure, Philopolis?
A51294A fine thing to play with, Hylobares; what then?
A51294A goodly sight: but what of all this?
A51294Again, Cuphophron, is the Soul united to the Body by its Essence, or by some essential Attribute of the Soul?
A51294And I pray you how much better is this then the Pagans sacrificing of men to Diana Taurica?
A51294And are not all things Toies and Fools- baubles and the pleasures of Children or Beasts, excepting what is truly Moral and Intellectual?
A51294And as for Beeves and Sheep, the more ordinary food of Man, how often is the Countrey- man at a loss for Grass and Fodder for them?
A51294And by what Arguments, I beseech you, does he pretend to inferr so impious a Conclusion?
A51294And do not you, Hylobares, hold the Soul of man to be an Incorporeal indiscerpible Substance, a Spirit?
A51294And have you not as distinct a Notion of every one of these Attributes as of the other?
A51294And how do you know, Hylobares, but that other would be so likewise?
A51294And if the Philosophers themselves be such fools, what are the Plebeians?
A51294And if the one be Gold, I pray you what is the other?
A51294And indeed where do they not rule them?
A51294And that in one instant of time they can fly from one Pole of the world to the other?
A51294And that the Spirit of man, which we usually call his Soul, is wholly, without flitting, in his Toe, and wholly in his Head, at once?
A51294And what is the gaudiness of Fools Coats but the gallantry of these Wits, though not altogether so authentickly in fashion?
A51294And what so good wisedome, as to contrive things for the highest enjoyment of all?
A51294And what think you of Land and Sea, whenas all might have been a Quagmire?
A51294And who knows but a very lucky one?
A51294And who knows but he that is born a natural Fool, if he had had natural Wit, would have become an arrant Knave?
A51294And why do men rule the women, but upon account of more Strength or more Wisedome?
A51294And why not the Sea too, Bathynous?
A51294And why not, Cuphophron?
A51294And will History acquit the civilized World of this piece of Barbarity, Euistor?
A51294And, lastly, what is Lust, but Self- love seeking its own high delight and satisfaction in the use of Venery?
A51294Answer, Cuphophron: why do you gape and stare, and scratch your head where it itches not?
A51294Are then the Opinions of God''s being no- where and of his being every- where alike conducive to Vertue and Piety?
A51294Are there any more Scruples behinde touching Divine Providence, Hylobares?
A51294Are these the same Arguments, Hylobares, that you intended to invade me withall?
A51294Are you not throughly satisfied hitherto, Hylobares?
A51294Besides, why is this to be charged upon Providence, that there are so few?
A51294But I ask you, does not the Rational Soul by the power of its Will move the Body?
A51294But I pray do you tell me, Cuphrophron, what is Rest?
A51294But I pray you tell me, Philotheus, did any of the old Fathers of the Church dream any such Dream as this?
A51294But I pray you, Cuphophron, who is that Hylobares?
A51294But admit the necessity of dying, what necessity or conveniency of the frequentness of Diseases?
A51294But are you sure, Hylobares, that this were the most perfect way that Nature could pitch upon?
A51294But can not you also think of two things at once, O Cuphophron?
A51294But did I not preadvertise you, that no humane Authority has any right of being believed when they propound Contradictions?
A51294But did you not observe, Hylobares, how I removed Sympathy from the Capacity of Matter?
A51294But do Thunderbolts conduce any thing to that, Philotheus?
A51294But dost thou think thus to drown our sense of solid Reason by the rapid stream or torrent of thy turgid Eloquence?
A51294But have you no other Argument for it, Hylobares?
A51294But how can that which is immovable, O Sophron, be the Genus of those things that are movable?
A51294But how do you know, Hylobares, that there is such an infinite number of Earths?
A51294But how does this Truth consort with his Goodness, whenas it declares to us that the World has continued but about these six thousand years?
A51294But how shall we be so well assured of the Existence of a Spirit, while the comprehension of its Nature is taken for desperate?
A51294But how shall we redeem our Imagination from this Captivity into such sordid conceits?
A51294But if he doe not thus, it is a sign his heart is not clean, and therefore why should he grumble that he is punished?
A51294But if it imply no Contradiction, what hinders but we may attribute it to him?
A51294But if there be one Congeries of Divine Atomes that keep together, in which of those infinite numbers of Vortices is it seated, or amongst which?
A51294But in that he has made it much larger and sooner, to what leading Attribute in God is that to be imputed, O Sophron?
A51294But in the mean time why might not Man have been made a pure Intelligence at first?
A51294But is it found Finite, Philotheus?
A51294But is it not very ridiculous in the Virginians, to cut away half of their upper and lower Beards, and leave the other half behind?
A51294But is not the actual describing of a Figure in a mere possible Extensum like sense to the writing of an actual Epistle in a possible sheet of Paper?
A51294But is not this still a great disparagement to the Bride?
A51294But is there not something in the following Verses about Childrens Rattles?
A51294But is there nothing observable touching their Opinions of the other State, in order to which they may undergo these Hardships?
A51294But it seems necessary to attribute it to him: else how can he manage the affairs of the World?
A51294But suppose they be Atheists, how many thousands are there of such kinde of Cattel in the most civilized parts of Europe?
A51294But the painting of their Skins with Serpents and ugly Beasts, as the Virginians are said to doe, how vilely must that needs look?
A51294But to whom were they sacrificed, Cuphophron?
A51294But well, what of all this, Philotheus?
A51294But what are the Quere''s you would propose touching the Kingdome of God, O Philopolis?
A51294But what does this Arrow aim at?
A51294But what have you to gratifie the Ear, Cuphophron?
A51294But what is that to me, if I do not?
A51294But what is there to gratifie the Touch, Cuphophron?
A51294But what is this Story of a Bull to that of the Cow the Brammans speak of?
A51294But what makes you attribute Disunity to Matter rather then firm Union of parts, especially you attributing Self- inactivity thereto?
A51294But what more then ordinary mischief came to the Inhabitants?
A51294But what needs any such supposition, O Sophron?
A51294But what shall we think of the Tartars and Maldives cutting off all their Hair of the upper Lip?
A51294But what shall we think of those Barbarians in whom there never was any thing of the Divine Life, nor any moral possibility of acquiring it?
A51294But what then, Hylobares?
A51294But what think you of the Priest of Calecut, Cuphophron?
A51294But what think you of the whole Body, Hylobares?
A51294But what use, could you make of the Silver Key, when that Divine Personage explained nothing of it to you?
A51294But when a Phancy is once engrafted in the Minde, how shall one get it out?
A51294But where find you any such examples in the West- Indies, Euistor?
A51294But where is then the Soul?
A51294But who knows but that there may be some usefulness of it, as in the Amazons cutting off their right Breasts, the better to draw their Bow and Arrow?
A51294But whose description of a Spirit is this, Hylobares?
A51294But why do you then attribute such a Prescience to God as is involved in such dangerous Inconveniences?
A51294But why do you think so, Hylobares?
A51294But why of folly?
A51294But why take you this to be the lesser Difficulty, Philotheus?
A51294But ▪ what instances have you of the over- severe method, Euistor?
A51294But, I pray you, where did he receive these Keys, Philotheus?
A51294Can any Religion be more horrid or blasphemous then this?
A51294Can any ● hing ● eem more barbarous then this?
A51294Can there be any thing possibly parallel to this, Cuphophron, amongst our Civilized Europaeans?
A51294Can you be surrounded by all this, and yet be no- where?
A51294Can you then miss of the true Notion of a Spirit?
A51294Cuphophron''s: how will you rescue me, Hylobares?
A51294Did not I tell you so, Philopolis?
A51294Did not I tell you so, Philotheus?
A51294Did not he begin thus, O Sophron?
A51294Did you not say even now, that what- ever has no Extension or Amplitude is nothing?
A51294Do not you observe, Euistor, how studiously Hylobares has play''d the Piper all this time?
A51294Do they talk or discourse with one another?
A51294Do you not hear the pleasant Notes of the Birds both in the Garden and on the Bowre?
A51294Do you not see, Sophron, that you are worse s ● ar''d then hurt?
A51294Do you not yet see, Hylobares, how weak an Assertion that of Des- Carte ● is, That Extension and Matter are reciprocall?
A51294Do you or any else either here or under the Line at mid- day or mid- night feel any such mighty Pressure as this Hypothesis inferrs?
A51294Does not that Line from the top of the Axis to the Peripherie of the Basis necessarily describe a Conicum in one Circumvolution?
A51294Does not this occurr often enough in History, Euistor?
A51294Does not this, O Sophron, subvert utterly all the belief of Providence in the world?
A51294Else how could any creatures live in the Air or Water?
A51294Every man can doe that that can compare two things or two Idea''s one with the other: For if he do not think of them at once, how can he compare them?
A51294For do not these discover some malignancy in the Principles of the World, inconsistent with so lovely and benign an Authour as we seek after?
A51294For how can an extended Substance be indivisible or indiscerpible?
A51294For how can that which is some- where, as Matter and Motion are, reach that which is no- where?
A51294For how can the Wicked escape Punishment, when Wickedness it self is one of the greatest Penalties?

A51294For what can give any stop to this but God''s Iustice, which is a branch or mode of his Goodness?
A51294For what has God given us severall Faculties for, but to employ them to the emprovement of our own good?
A51294For what is Wrath, but Self- love edged and strengthned for the fending off the assaults of evil?
A51294For why does not that invisible Power that invigilates over all things prevent such sad Accidents?
A51294For why should blind Necessity doe more in this kind then fluctuating Chance?
A51294For why should mankinde complain of this Decree of God and Nature, which is so necessary and just?
A51294For, as I was intimating before, which of these two is the more deplorable state, to be a Fool by Fate or upon choice?
A51294Had not you better resume your Province, Hylobares, and assault him your self?
A51294Have I so?
A51294He that beholds all from an high Knows better what to doe then I. I''m not mine own: should I repine If he dispose of what''s not mine?
A51294How becomingly does Philopolis exercise his office, and seasonably commit the Opponent with the Respondent, like a long- practised Moderatour?
A51294How came then the Americans not to lay hold on this opportunity?
A51294How can it then be that particular possible Extensum which the Cylinder is actually?
A51294How can they come at it, or it at them?
A51294How could an arm of mere Air or Aether pull at another man''s hand or arm, but it would easily part in the pulling?
A51294How do you know but that it is as good for the Universe, computing all respects, if it be not better?
A51294How does that appear, Philotheus?
A51294How long of us, Philotheus?
A51294How madly does Cuphophron''s phancy rove?
A51294How merrily- conceited is Cuphophron, that can thus play with a Feather?
A51294How sublimely witty is Euistor with one single Glass?
A51294How then can this power be exerted on the Body to move it, unless the Soul be essentially present to the Body to exert it upon it?
A51294How then comes it to pass that you, being of so Philosophicall a Genius, should miss of the Pre- existence of the Soul?
A51294How therefore can they hold together?
A51294How vastly distant then are those little fix''d Stars that shew but as scattered Pin- dust in a frosty night?
A51294How would their Faith be tried, if all things here below had been carried on in Peace and Righteousness and in the Fear of God?
A51294How, Philotheus?
A51294I appeal to your own sense, Hylobares, would that look handsomely?
A51294I pray you deal freely and ingenuously, Hylobares, are you really more pinched then before?
A51294I pray you what Story is that, Euistor?
A51294I pray you what is it that pleases you so much, Philotheus?
A51294I pray you what is it, Philotheus?
A51294I pray you what is that, Sophron?
A51294I pray you what may be the reason of it?
A51294I pray you whose Lines are they, Hylobares?
A51294I pray you, Bathynous, what kind of Dream was it?
A51294I pray you, Cuphophron, is Philotheus and the rest of his Company come?
A51294I pray you, what is that Scruple, Hylobares?
A51294I pray you, what think you of that, Cuphophron?
A51294I pray, what are those, Hylobares?
A51294I prithee, Euistor, what is it?
A51294In the name of God, what do you mean, Hylobares, to answer so phantastically in so serious a cause?
A51294In this last Point, Hylobares?
A51294In what Extensum therefore is ● ● scribed?
A51294In what capacity of Salvation were they then, O Sophron, for some thousands of years together, who yet are certainly of a lapsed race?
A51294In what immense removes are they one beyond another?
A51294In what therefore does the one describe, suppose, a circular Line, the other a Conicum?
A51294In what, Hylobares?
A51294Is it not better being in this cool Arbour?
A51294Is it not infinitely incredible, Philotheus, if not impossible, that some thousands of Spirits may dance or march on a Needle''s point at once?
A51294Is it not necessary that that part of the representation you made of Eternity be either a Perfection, or an Imperfection, or a thing of Indifferency?
A51294Is it not so, Eui ● ● or?
A51294Is it not the perfection of Knowledge to know things as they are in their own nature?
A51294Is it the Authority of the Catholick Church?
A51294Is it then united to the inside of the Body, Cuphophron, or to the outside?
A51294Is not that Bravery which Americus Vesputius records in his Voiage to the New- found- world very ghastly tragicall?
A51294Is not their Soul mere Mechanicall motion, according to that admirable Philosopher?
A51294Is not this something inhospitall for us all to fall upon Cuphophron thus in his own Arbour at once?
A51294Is then the power of moving the Body thus by her Will in the Soul, or out of the Soul?
A51294Is this the utmost of your Difficulty, Hylobares?
A51294Is this your Sagacity or deep Melancholy, Bathynous, that makes you surmize such Plots against the Deity?
A51294Is your Scepticism in this point so powerfull as still to be able to bear up against them?
A51294It must be acknowledged; what then?
A51294Leave we nothing to our selves, Save a Voice; what need we else?
A51294Matter in potentia?
A51294Must not then some diviner Principle be at the bottom, that thus cancells the Mechanicall Laws for the common good?
A51294Of the Bridegroom his not lying with his own Bride the first night, but some other of the like quality?
A51294Or can you compare your distinct Selfship with this immense compass, and yet not conceive your self surrounded?
A51294Or thus, Cuphophron, Does not the So ● l move the Body?
A51294Or thus: If this multitude of Divine Atoms be God, be they interspersed amongst all the matter of the World?
A51294Or what more outrageous specimen of Madness, then the killing and slaying for the Non- belief of such things?
A51294Shame take you, Hylobares, have you hit on that piece of Waggery once again?
A51294Si tibi non annis corpus jam marcet?
A51294Spectatum admissi risum teneatis, ami ● i?
A51294Tell me therefore, Hylobares, why do you think that the World was not created till about six thousand years agoe?
A51294That God is so the Essence and Substance of all things, that they are but as dependent Accidents of him?
A51294That is not much strained, C ● phophron; but what then?
A51294That it is better for them is plain according to the opinion of all Metaphysicians: but how is it better for the Universe, Philotheus?
A51294That''s a Paradox indeed: why so, I pray you, Hylobares?
A51294That''s a very odd thing of the men of Arcladam, Euistor: I pray you, what is it?
A51294The contrivance of the Earth into Hills and Springs and Rivers, into Quarries of Stone and Metall: is not all this for the best?
A51294There''s a reason indeed, Hylobares; how can it then be the real Rendezvous of separate Souls?
A51294They having therefore no specifick cognation with the Sons of Adam, what have they to doe with that Religion that the Sons of Adam are saved by?
A51294This first was by far the more difficult Probleme of the two, and how easily has he solved it?
A51294This is the very Philosophy of the Apostle, O Philotheus, What fruit have ye then of those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
A51294This is very judiciously advertised of Bathynous, is it not, Hylobares?
A51294WHat tall Instrument is this, O Cuphophron, that you have got thus unexpectedly into your Arbour?
A51294Was it a delusion of my sight?
A51294Was there not a first six thousand years of Duration from the beginning of the World, supposing it began so timely as you have described?
A51294What Envy, but Self- love grieved at the sense of its own Want, discovered and aggravated by the fulness of another''s enjoyment?
A51294What Mysterious conceits has Bathynous of what can be but a mere Vacuum at best?
A51294What Verses do you mean, Euistor?
A51294What a chearfull thing the apprehension of Truth is, that it makes Hylobares so pleasant and so witty?
A51294What a youthfull conceit has your Phancy slipt into, O Cuphophron?
A51294What are those Scruples, Hylobares?
A51294What do you mean by Capacity, Cuphophron?
A51294What do you mean?
A51294What do you understand by Self- activity in a Spirit, Hylobares?
A51294What had the Godly whereupon to employ their Wit and Abilities, if they had no enemies to grapple with?
A51294What if I should say it is onely spatium imaginarium, Hylobares?
A51294What is it that he says, Euistor?
A51294What is it that pinches you there, Hylobares?
A51294What is it then, dear Cuphophron?
A51294What is it?
A51294What is that, Hylobares?
A51294What makes the Schools then so earnest in obtruding upon us the belief, that nothing but nunc permanens is competible to the Divine Existence?
A51294What more phrantick then the figment of Transubstantiation, and of infallible Lust, Ambition, and Covetousness?
A51294What moves the Bodies of Brutes, Hylobares?
A51294What say you now, Hylobares, to Philotheus his assoiling these your last and most puzzling and confounding Difficulties about natural Evils?
A51294What say you to this, Philotheus?
A51294What then, Philotheus?
A51294What then?
A51294What therefore could Providence doe better, then to make their Species immortal by a continued Propagation and Succession?
A51294What think you of the Roman Pontif?
A51294What think you of these Instances, O Sophron?
A51294What think you of this, Cuphophron?
A51294What think you, Gentlemen?
A51294What think you, Hylobares?
A51294What wisedome is that which flows out of the Divine Life, O Bathynous?
A51294What would become of those enravishing Vertues of Humility, Meekness, Patience and Forbearance, if there were no Injuries amongst men?
A51294What would he infer from all this?
A51294What''s Plague and Prison, loss of Friends, War, Dearth, and Death that all things ends?
A51294What''s that, Euistor?
A51294What''s that, Euistor?
A51294What''s that, Euistor?
A51294What''s that, Hylobares?
A51294What''s that, Hylobares?
A51294What''s that?
A51294What''s the matter with Hylobares, that he raps out Greek in this unusual manner?
A51294What, do you mean to make us all Horses, to whistle us while we are a- drinking?
A51294What, do you think any harder or greater, O Sophron, then are comprised in those elegant, though impious, Verses of Lucretius?
A51294What, has all my expectation then vanished into a Dream?
A51294What?
A51294Where should it be else?
A51294Where''s now the Objects of thy Fears, Needless Sighs and fruitless Tears?
A51294Wherefore why should it be expected that Divine Providence should forthwith take vengeance of the Executioners of his own Justice?
A51294Whether do you think, O Hylobares, that this Privilege, as you call it, is really a Privilege, that is, a Perfection, of the Divine Nature, or no?
A51294Which if it were true, what great charge could be laid against Nature for making so admirable and usefull a Fabrick?
A51294Who can believe men upon their own Authority that are once deprehended in so gross and impious an Imposture?
A51294Who can imagine to the contrary?
A51294Who knows but that they may understand that mystically, as the Persians expound like passages in Mahomet''s Alcoran?
A51294Who knows, Euistor, but most of these men were Voluntiers, and had a minde to serve the Great Cham in the other World?
A51294Why do you smile, Philotheus?
A51294Why may we not then adde that which follows in Homer, — 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A51294Why not, Philotheus?
A51294Why not?
A51294Why of wit and folly, Bathynous?
A51294Why should he so, Hyloares, sith the Creation of this middle Order makes the numbers of the pure Intellectual Orders never the fewer?
A51294Why so, Cuphophron?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why, Hylobares, what conceit have you of a Spirit, that you should think it a thing impossible?
A51294Why, I prithee, Cuphophron, how many hours, or rather minutes, is it since that confusion first surprized thee?
A51294Why, Philotheus?
A51294Why, are there just Two?
A51294Why, did not your self call this Dream of Bathynous a Divine Dream, before I came to make this important use of it?
A51294Why, do you think, Bathynous, that Pythagoras or Plato ever travelled into America?
A51294Why, what remains of Difficulty, Hylobares, either touching the Natural or Moral Evils in the World?
A51294Why, what strange thing is that which follows, Euistor?
A51294Why, what''s the matter, Cuphophron?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Will you please to make a step up into the Garden?
A51294Wit and Phancy whether wilt thou goe?
A51294You abound in all manner of Civilities, Cuphophron: But do not you play on this Instrument your self?
A51294a Silver- one?
A51294and who can tell just how many there ought to be of any of those Orders; or why there must be just so many Orders of Apes or Satyrs, and no more?
A51294and yet how luckily had he hit, if he had but made use of the usual name Papa?
A51294but what do you mean, O Philotheus, by ● ● ● finactivity?
A51294can not the Omnipotence of God himself discerp a Spirit, if he has a minde to it?
A51294did not the bare Deity, as you called it, step out then into externall Action?
A51294has not Cuphophron made a very rapturous Harangue?
A51294have we any thing, Cuphophron?
A51294is it not?
A51294or did there a Star shoot obliquely as I put my head out of the Arbour?
A51294or do they keep together?
A51294or how again do these Atomes, though not interspersed, communicate Notions one with another for one Design?

A01093But here it may be obiected: Why then should I take vpon me to proue it, if it be, in nature, such as can not be proued?
A01093But how came he thither?
A01093But how then can God be sayd to be One, if no created Vnitie be sufficient to expresse him?
A01093But how?
A01093But now, all the Quaestion is, Whence this vertue is?
A01093But what?
A01093But who is then this Gi ● ●, that in such sort disposeth those graces, as he pleaseth?
A01093But why saith he in his heart, rather then in hi ● mouth, that There is no God?
A01093But yet, a greater Question remaines still behind: By whose wisdome it is, that the Heauens and Starres be mooued?
A01093But yet, — Ridentem dicere verum, Quid vetat?
A01093But, what is the Atheist then, if he be not a man?
A01093But, what was the ende of all this wicked glory, and of his prophane consecrating himselfe for a God?
A01093But, what was the euent of this his proud conceit?
A01093By what steps, did Romulus ascend, and climbe vp into heauen?
A01093Can any man be free, but he, that may liue as he list?
A01093Can he then be a God, whom one law ties, And seruant makes, to such set officies?
A01093Cogitemus( saith hee) quî fieri possit, vt tanta magnitudo, ab aliqua possit natura, tanto tempore, circumferri?
A01093Concluding there his Chapter, with this notable increpation of Atheists, and such like vngodly men: Ergonè Deum Elephanti venerantur?
A01093Consid ● rare oportet, vtrùm sit causa motus& principium, i d, quod motu seipsum ciet; an i d, quod ab alio ● gitatur?
A01093Cuius alterius animalis animus cognoscit, maximarum optimarúmque rerum conditores esse Deos?
A01093Cur?
A01093Dasne igitur hoc nobis, Pomponi, Naturam omnem di ● initùs regi?
A01093De Creatura mihi salus est?
A01093Deus, illa non potuit vera, machinari& effìcere, quae potuit solertia hominis imitatione simulare?
A01093Dic, or ●, Frater, Musae literas repererunt?
A01093Did God leaue it vnreuenged?
A01093Do not their trembling ioynts then dreade his Rod?
A01093Do we inquire what is the Cause?
A01093Doest thou sweare, like a Bizantian, by their yron pence?
A01093Doth the soule of any other thing know God, to be the maker of euery good thing, but only the soule of man?
A01093Esine illis adeò dulcis labor ill ● rotandi?

A01093First, that if these men were no true Atheists indeed, why were they so condemned?
A01093For he said not, that he doubted, whether there were gods, or no, but, that he would not, as then, dispute, whether there were any, or no?
A01093For he sayth, that, when the Heauens do begin once to lighten: — Et magnum percurrunt murmura coelum; Non populi gentésque tremunt?
A01093For how can he be either God or good, who is willing to hurt vs, if he know, that he hath not the power againe to helpe vs?
A01093For how can that be the first moouing of all other, which it selfe is moued by another?
A01093For how can there be any godlines, where there is no God?
A01093For how could the opinions of the Greekes, or Romanes, pierce into the extreamest India''s: where their names were neuer heard?
A01093For the first of whom, Protagoras; though his fault were nothing else, but a seeming to doubt, whether there were a God?
A01093For what can be more distant, then Polytheisme, and Atheisme?
A01093For what can be with out the compasse of All things?
A01093For what can possibly be true, if the Testimonie of Truth be not?
A01093For what comparison can Diagoras hold with Pythagoras?
A01093For who can giue life and motion, and sense, and reason, vnto things, by his owne power, but onely the Maker and Creator of all things?
A01093For why should we not iudge, that he, who is the author of all good, should specially be the giuer of the greatest good?
A01093For, Cui potius quisquam credat, quàm Deo?
A01093For, Qualis honor, vel quale lucrum, vel quanta voluptas, Esse potest Divis, versantibus aethera semper?
A01093For, Quodnam erit, obsecro,( saith Nazianzene) a quo vniuersum hoc mouebitur?
A01093For, being demanded, An sint Dij?
A01093For, how could it then be imprinted into Children?
A01093For, how differ they?
A01093For, how should either swearing, or blaspheming, or idolatrizing, be sinne; if there were not a God, against whom they were committed?
A01093For, if it were fatall for those Cities to rise, how come they to their fall?
A01093For, if they were not Atheists; why were they by God punished?
A01093For, to threaten, is ridiculous; but euen among vs men, where, there is not a power, to inflict, what one doth threaten?
A01093For, what can be greater madnes, then either to call him Almighty, of whom they aske, What he can do for them?
A01093For, what can that be, which giueth being vnto all things, but onely God?
A01093For, what oth ● r account can there iustly be made of him?
A01093For, what other could set bounds, both vnto Heauen and Earth, but onely the Creator and Maker of them both?
A01093From whence hee there inferreth, Quis igitur neget, omnes leues, omnes cupidos, omnes d ● mque improbos, esse servos?
A01093Haec omnia( saith hee) quid ad illud summum, atque( vt ita dicam) vnicè vnum, vbi vnitatem consubstantialitas facit?
A01093Hast thou giuen vnto the horse his strength?
A01093Hath a man therefore no soule; because the Philosophers can not agree what it is?
A01093He did but onely professe, that he would not as then, entertaine the disputation, Whether there were a God or no?
A01093He moueth the question, Whether of the twaine is the beginning of motion?
A01093He that is the Author of all good, why should hee not be the Author of the greatest good?
A01093He that planted the Eare, shall he not heare?
A01093Hee, thinking that he had meant; Whether he were indeed, a true Atheist, or no?
A01093Hic erit ergo Deus, praescriptis lege sub vnae Deditus officijs?
A01093Hoc autem, quid aliud esse qu ● at, quàm Deus?
A01093Homines autem, rationis participes, Sitne Deus, necne sit, dubitant?
A01093How a man may heare another speake, though he should stoppe his eares?
A01093How a man may remember that which he hath forgotten?
A01093How a man may speake, after hee is dead?
A01093How a man may teach his hand to speake?
A01093How can a man possibly, looke vpon the world, but he must needes conceiu ● presently, that, surely, There is a God?
A01093How can the Christians truly say, that they haue a pati ● nt God?
A01093How can we beleeue, that the aboundance of any Riches, should be able to satiate a couetous mans minde?
A01093How like you here, the warlike strength of this our walled Towne?

A01093How th''midst of Heau''n content''s the Sun?
A01093How then doest thou sweare, if thou beleeue not the gods?
A01093How then is the Heauen bounded, if it be not boundlesse?
A01093How two may speake together, that are many miles a sunder?
A01093How two may talke together, without any word spoken?
A01093I may not stand to discusse vpon euery Authoritie: whether the Booke then alledged be the Authors properly?
A01093I sweare by Ioue and all the Gods, good wife, He addeth immediately: Satin''hoc est tibi?
A01093Idque adeò in infinitum?
A01093If it should be demanded: How a voyce may bee seene?
A01093If the Question( saith he) be moued, Whether there be a God?
A01093If they were indeed Atheists; why were they by me excused?
A01093Iob, in one place, doubteth of Gods al- seeing prouidence: How should not the times be hid from the Almighty?
A01093Ipsum bonorum omnium Authorem, cur non maximi etiam boni causam arbitramur?
A01093Ipsum bonorum omnium authorem cur non maximi etiam boni causam arbitrabimur?
A01093Is it lawfull to proue, that our Sauionr was conceiued by the holy Ghost?
A01093Is it not I the Lord?
A01093Is it not from God, and by God, that a man knoweth euery thing?
A01093Is it not lawfull to prooue the Articles of our Creed, because they be already beleeued?
A01093Is it now become contrarie vnto it selfe; to depresse the same thing, which before it selfe aduanced?
A01093Is not this a noble seruice?
A01093Is there any amongst men, that brought not in with him a notion of God euen with his first entrance into the world?
A01093Is there any man, that doth not bring a notion of this great Prince, into the world with him?
A01093Is there now crept in a mutabilitie into Fate?
A01093Is this the onely wisedome, to deny there is a God?
A01093Knowest thou not that I haue power to crucifie thee, and haue power to loose thee?
A01093Lest, for foule deeds, and black- mouth''d Blasphemies, The rufull time be come, that vengeance cries?

A01093or, whether, among them, there be many first Causes?
A01093or, whether, there be but one which is Causa causarum, that is, The true Cause of all the rest, and whereof all other Causes are but mere Effects?

A01093— Ergo infinitus In Causis processus erit?

A01093— Why may not he that laughes, Laugh out a truth?
A099771 First, why doth GOD produce no infinite thing, no infinite effect?
A099772 Though the immediate cause produceth the effect; yet, who is the first cause?
A099773 If there be such a God that made the Heaven and the Earth; what is the reason then, that wee see things are brought to passe by naturall causes?
A099774 If things had no beginning, if the world was from eternitie; what is the reason there are no monuments of more ancient times, than there are?
A099774, and 8, 9. together: In the latter dayes there shall come scoffers,& c. saying, where is the promise of his comming?
A0997740. he addes, To whom will you liken GOD?
A099775 Besides, consider what it is that troubles thee?
A099777 From whence doest thou looke for wages?
A0997790. Who knowes the power of his wrath?
A09977A man will be ready to say, shall I take this?
A09977Afterwards it pleased him to bedew the Gentiles, when the Israelites were dry; well, he hath done this, sayes Paul, and what hast thou to say to him?
A09977Again, doth not the Scripture reckon them so?
A09977Againe, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
A09977Againe, are not wee commanded to pray for outward blessings?
A09977Againe, can not he fill thy heart with joy and comfort?
A09977Againe, suppose one should come from either of those two places, would you beleeve him?
A09977Againe, the Spirit whereby the Prophets and Apostles spake to us, was it not sent from heaven?
A09977Againe, what is the reason that we are so readie to please, and loth to displease men, as a potent friend or enemie, rather than God?
A09977Alas, saith Moses, who am I: Shall I go unto Pharaoh, and bid him let the children of Israel goe?
A09977Alas, what is the body to it?
A09977Am I not a creature?
A09977And againe, is it not comfort to consider that hee is with your enemies( it may be) in a distance place?
A09977And all this is for want of this faith, would this bee, if you did beleive this Allmighty power of GOD?
A09977And how will he meet thee?
A09977And it is called, Compassions that faile not: why are they called so?
A09977And said, hee can not doe this and this: and why?
A09977And shall a man take on, because a vapour is scattered, and a flower withered, and a shadow vanished?
A09977And so for Gods promises and rewards; Why will you not forbeare sinne, that you may receive the promises, and the rewards?
A09977And this is a thing to be observed out of the 19. and 20. verses, where the same reason is given that we now speake of, Who hath?
A09977And what followed that?
A09977And what is the ground of that?
A09977And when the Lord is with us from day to day, will you not take notice of him?
A09977And why doe they doe so?
A09977And will you have it to lie dead, when you have it?
A09977And, how am I prest under your abominations, even as a cart is pressed with sheaves?
A09977Are not men in this kinde, like to beasts, subject to sensualitie, that eate that they may play, and play that they may eate?
A09977Are we stronger than he?
A09977As for example, though folly be the cause, that such a businesse doth miscarry, yet who is the cause of that folly?
A09977As for example; to what end, and for what occasion is this Doctrine of election delivered?
A09977As for this Doctrine of Gods unchangeablenesse, what is the end, why it is revealed?
A09977As if he should say, what Atheisme is this in the hearts of men?
A09977As if you would choose a right jewell;( you know there are many counterfeit ones) how should you know a true one?
A09977As to Paul, what was all his persecution?
A09977As when a man is in any miserable condition, wherein hee desires pitty, and would bee respected and relieved, what wilt thou doe in this case?
A09977As, againe, what are all pleasant things, if a man hath not a heart to apprehend them?
A09977As, is it not matter of great comfort, that in all places wee should have a GOD to doe all our businesses?
A09977Aske that Church, that Synod of men, what is that which makes the Church to beleeve that the Scripture is the Word of God?
A09977Be it that thy desire is to be delivered from such or such an affliction; consider this: Is it meete Gods will should yeeld to thine, or thine to his?
A09977Be ready to say in this case, as Haman of Mordecai; what availeth it me, if Mordecai yet live?
A09977Because they doe something?
A09977Because we expect something; because we thinke we are not well dealt with; and why doe we thinke so?
A09977Because when Peter said they had left all; Christ tels them they should have an hundred fold, and why?
A09977Besides, doe wee not heare this speech of man?
A09977Besides, what makes a man to depart from his profession?
A09977Boast not of time; why doest thou deferre the time?
A09977But how shall I come to get such a desire?
A09977But how shall I conceive of a Spirit?
A09977But how shall I doe to know this?
A09977But how shall I know it, you will say?
A09977But how shall I know this, whether my soule doth rule or no?
A09977But how shall a man get his minde to such a frame?
A09977But how shall we doe this?
A09977But how should we know that the Iewes are true?
A09977But is not this rule too strait?
A09977But may wee not love him, and love other things also?
A09977But must it be a bare and empty thought of him onely?
A09977But my inclinations are strong, and I can not rule them: what must I doe then?
A09977But needeth hee, or this relict of his, Epistles of commendation from us unto your Honour, who knew him so well?
A09977But seeing it is not so, therefore labour to goe to God in faith, and when thou goest, thinke with thy selfe; why may I not have it aswell as another?
A09977But the creatures are of great moment, experience shewes them to be something: for, who lives without them?
A09977But what if the Iewes were moved with the calamity when it came, should cry, and be importunate with the Lord, would not their teares move him?
A09977But what if they fast and pray?
A09977But what is that more particularly?
A09977But what is that pollution of spirit, or what is that which doth defile it?
A09977But what use is there of this Doctrine?
A09977But when men consider that they have the great God on their side, to beare themselves upon, why should not they have great mindes?
A09977But when they are gone, they are a weake and a naked people, how shall they doe to live?
A09977But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven of heavens can not containe him?
A09977But will not you have us to use such things?
A09977But you shall see how prone men are to this; are we not ready to say; Why am I not in so great a place as another?
A09977But you will say, I doe all for this end, to serve God and men?
A09977But you will say, What is this to walke with the Lord?
A09977But you will say, how can they be lesse than nothing?
A09977But you will say, this is against sence: GOD is All- sufficient, it is true, it is good to have him: but, doe we not need many hundred things besides?
A09977But you will say, what if I fall into sin?
A09977But you will say, why then is it that they are brought so low?
A09977But you will say; What is the meaning of that?
A09977But you will say; they are perfect in their kinde, how then are they imperfect?
A09977But, you will say, If it be of so much moment, then what is the way to strengthen our faith in them?
A09977But, you will say, this is a principle, that needs not to be thus urged, or made question of; therefore, what need so many reasons to prove it?
A09977Can any man hide himselfe in secret places, that I shall not see him, saith the Lord?
A09977Can wee live without friends, estate convenient?
A09977Can wee live without them?
A09977Did ever any man upon his death- bed say so?
A09977Did he any wrong?
A09977Doe not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord?
A09977Doe not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord?
A09977Doe not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord?
A09977Doe we provoke the Lord to jealousie?
A09977Doe you finde it so easie a thing, to believe in difficulties, as in facility?
A09977Doe you thinke, if things had beene from eternitie, there would be no monuments of them, if you consider the vastnesse of eternitie, what it is?
A09977Doe you thinke, that Paul never prayed before, when he was a Pharise?
A09977Doe you thinke, that there you shall have a worse condition than here?
A09977Doth not hee see my wayes and count all my steps?
A09977Every accident is but as a cup, as Christ saith of the cup that was brought to him by others, Shall not I drinke of the cup, which my Father gives me?
A09977Every creature hath his severall bounds and limits, thus farre shall they goe, and no further; but who hath set bounds to him?
A09977Eye- service is, when a man doth it in the outward shew, and appearance onely, and what is the other, to doe a thing heartily?
A09977For can not GOD doe it, when things are not probable, as well as when there are the fairest blossomes of hope?
A09977For what can Satan do to him?
A09977For what is faith?
A09977For what is it that makes the minde great?
A09977For what is the reason that man is so fickle?
A09977For what is this body, wherein the soule is?
A09977For why doe wee thinke men to bee present, but because they see and heare?
A09977For, for what end hath he revealed to us that he is unchangeable?
A09977From whence come warres and fightings among you?
A09977Hast thou not begun many good workes, and never finished them?
A09977Hast thou not found that property of folly in thee, To begin stil to live?
A09977Hath not God chosen the poore of this world, rich in faith, and heires of the kingdome which he hath promised to them that love him?
A09977He is full of being, and though thou perish, what is that to him?
A09977Hee that made the eye, shall he not see?
A09977Hence I reason thus: the wisedome of GOD, the largenesse and infinitenesse of his understanding and knowledge, what is it not able to conceive?
A09977Hence likewise it is, that men are so easily wrought vpon by pleasure, profit, and the like, that they are ready to transgresse: why is it?
A09977How a man shall come to this greatnesse of mind, what rise it hath from the greatnesse of God?
A09977How can we see him that is invisible?
A09977How doest thou conceive of the soule of another man when thou speakest to him?
A09977How doth the Lord speake to us now?
A09977How the Lord imployed himselfe before the creation of the World?
A09977How?
A09977I have made a covenant with mine eyes: why then should I thinke upon a maid?
A09977I have much credit and estate, but what glory hath it brought to IESVS CHRIST?
A09977I say, what is the reason of this, if there be not some grounds of secret Atheisme in men?
A09977If God will take a few out of a Nation, and destroy all the rest, who can say any thing to him?
A09977If one of us were to suffer, as the Martyrs did, what is it that would establish our soules?
A09977If there be a God, what is the reason that this comes to passe?
A09977If there bee a freind that thou lovest, doest thou not desire to bee with him?
A09977If thou hast a friend all- sufficient, hast thou not need to walke with him?
A09977If thou wouldest shew thy love to God, why doest thou not walke with him?
A09977If you say, May not a man pray sometimes, when he is walking, or lying, or riding by the way, or the like?
A09977In the beginning was the Word,& c. Where doth any booke expresse it selfe, in a manner, in the relation of any stories?
A09977Indeed he made but one world to our knowledge, but who knoweth what he did before, and what he will doe after?
A09977Is he not free?
A09977Is it a great thing for him to die, when he hath the same company, and the same friends with him still?
A09977Is it not from hence, that they have no being of their owne?
A09977Is it not, because our affections are set upon changeable objects, vpon the creatures?
A09977Is not he then the worthiest and the highest object, on whom they should bestow their thoughts?
A09977Is not this an argument of secret Atheisme and impiety in the heart of every man, more or lesse?
A09977It is a thing that we come short of, for the most part, for we are ready to aske, what is God to us?
A09977It is for himselfe?
A09977It is one thing to beleive GODS Allmighty power, and who doubts of it?
A09977It is sin that bringeth destruction, and doth precipitate a man thereunto; but who is it that leaveth men to their sins and lusts?
A09977It is true, he doth it by meanes: and if you say, what are those meanes?
A09977It might be a false relation, would you beleeve him without further ground?
A09977Know ye not, that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
A09977Knowest thou what is in the wombe of the day?
A09977May not I doe what I will with mine owne?
A09977May not he doe what he will?
A09977Must we not have friends, house, wife,& c.?
A09977My trade hath brought me home much, but how serviceable have I been with it?
A09977Now come to a beleever going out of the world, and aske him what hope hee hath to be saved, and what ground for it?
A09977Now if they did so, doe you not thinke it is hard for you to doe otherwise?
A09977Now learne thou to doe so with thy selfe, to aske thy selfe that question: Hast thou not had many resolutions, that never came to any endeavours?
A09977Now shall they not finde this in the Lord more than in any creature?
A09977Now what use should we make of this?
A09977Now, I aske, if the world was from eternitie, what is the reason that there is but one fountaine, one bloud whereof we are all made?
A09977Now, if thou saist, I have thus behaved my selfe, and have not beene answered?
A09977Now, whence comes this uneven walking, this exorbitance of the wheeles, but from the weaknesse of the maine spring, that sets all on motion?
A09977Now, whence comes this?
A09977Now, who was it that did drie the earth againe, and now reserveth it to the day of Iudgement to be destroyed by fire?
A09977Oh but, you say, the world hath continued very long, and there is a promise of his comming, but we see no such thing?
A09977Onely this question may be asked, Whether he be without the world, as well as he is in the world?
A09977Or Moses to lead the children of Israel into the Land of Canaan, but Ioshua must have the glory of it?
A09977Or shall the Sunne be beholding to him that hath the use of his light?
A09977Or unto others, besides this Inscription of, and Dedication to your Name?
A09977Riches take to themselves wings, and fly away; And, why doest thou set thy heart upon that which is nothing?
A09977Saith our Saviour, It is impossible for a rich man to enter into the kingdome of heaven: why, say the Disciples, Who then can be saved?
A09977Secondly, he considers the greatnesse, and strength and power of God; and from thence he drawes this conclusion, whom shall I feare?
A09977Shall he say, and not doe it?
A09977Shall hee be present with us, wheresover wee are; when we goe by the way, or lie in our beds, or sit in our houses?
A09977Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, what makest thou?
A09977Shall the clay say to him that maketh it, why doest thou so?
A09977So God, because hee is the first cause, hee may have what end he will, and no man can say, why doest thou so?
A09977So he that is a Minister; it is true, I have enough, enough credit, enough for estate; but what is this?
A09977So if I should aske another, whether grace, or outward excellency were better?
A09977So if any condition befall you, if you can bee content with GOD alone, you are well, what if your friends deceive you?
A09977So likewise for the beginning of Arts and Sciences; what is the reason that the originall of them is knowne?
A09977So what is the reason, that the praise, and credit of men, doe so much affect you?
A09977So when he staid his hand from killing Nabal, did not the Lord bring it to passe in a better manner than hee could have done?
A09977So, who can implant holy affections in thee, but he alone?
A09977Stultitia semper incipit vivere?
A09977That which is said of man, may be said of every thing else; What hast thou, that thou hast not received?
A09977The LORD is my light, and my salvation, whom shall I feare?
A09977The LORD is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
A09977The Lord answeres him; Is the Lords hand shortened, that he can not helpe?
A09977The Lord is my light, and my salvation, whom shall I feare?
A09977The objection then is; there are many that doe not trust in God, and yet they bring their things to passe?
A09977There is the objection, that which is in the hearts of men: Now you shall see what answer is made to it in the following verse, Hast thou not knowne?
A09977Therefore learne to magnifie God, for he is all; thou wantest nothing, if thou hast him; he is all in heaven, and why should hee not be so here?
A09977Therefore let men consider this, and looke to it; have I not chosen this course of life, and have I not an end appointed to me?
A09977Therefore, why is he forgotten?
A09977Therfore do not thou dispute with God, and aske, why are so many damned?
A09977Therfore say, what a foole was I?
A09977Thinke with thy selfe, that when he first chooseth a man, he doth it freely; and thinkest thou that he is not the same afterwards?
A09977To compare him, with the greatest of men, Kings, what are they unto him, who is the King of Kings?
A09977To what end are more lights brought, but that you should see things more clearely, which you did not before?
A09977To which I may adde this; that, who knoweth what the Lord hath done?
A09977What am I to be sent on this errand?
A09977What art thou that contendest with him?
A09977What better are they?
A09977What doe you thinke they would have said to men that offered them riches?
A09977What if God will not have David to build a Temple, but his sonne must doe it?
A09977What if you should bee shut up in a close prison?
A09977What is his name, or what is his Sonnes name, if thou canst tell?
A09977What is it for, then?
A09977What is it to that God, with whom I must live for ever?
A09977What is your meaning then to have GOD alone for our portion?
A09977What though it never breakes forth into outward actions?
A09977Whence come those complaints of the unthankfulnesse of friends and pupils, and those we doe good to?
A09977Whence comes this, but because we forget the Allmighty power of GOD?
A09977Whence comes this, but because we have not beene wonted to walke with the LORD?
A09977Whence comes this?
A09977Whence is it that men are so fearefull to holde out the light of a holy profession?
A09977Whence is this stupiditie both wayes?
A09977Whereas this objection might be made; Will he cast men to hell?
A09977Wherefore doe you spend money for that, which is not bread?
A09977Who can dwell with everlasting burnings?
A09977Who hath ascended up to heaven, or descended?
A09977Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servants, that walketh in darknesse, and hath no light?
A09977Who should aske, why deales GOD thus with his Church?
A09977Why am I thus subject to diseases and crosses?
A09977Why are these set downe?
A09977Why are we as beasts, led with sensuality, that we will not be drawne to that which belongs to God ▪ and his Kingdome?
A09977Why doest thou boast of to morrow?
A09977Why doth he put these two together thus?
A09977Why have I not greater imployments?
A09977Why have I such imperfections?
A09977Why have not I more gifts?
A09977Why is such a corporall gesture noted in the text?
A09977Why is this Attribute revealed to you?
A09977Why sayest thou O Iacob, and speakest O Israel; My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgement is passed over from my GOD?
A09977Why should they not be made all together?
A09977Why the Church of the Grecians, those famous Churches; why the golden Candlestickes were removed from them?
A09977Why was not the earth peopled together, and in every Land a multitude of inhabitants together, if they had beene from eternitie, and had no beginning?
A09977Why?
A09977Why?
A09977Why?
A09977Why?
A09977Wilt thou dispute with God?
A09977Wilt thou goe to weake man, and have him to pitty thee?
A09977Would they not have slighted them?
A09977Yea, but how doest thou bestow thy labour?
A09977Yea, but these were but weake women, and we hope our faith may be stronger than theirs?
A09977Yea, but will Pharaoh be moved with words?
A09977You will say, this is a mans naturall condition indeed, but how shall this be helped?
A09977and how long hath he continued that expensive worke of governing the world, to shew forth the riches of his goodnesse, patience& forbearance?
A09977and is not this thine end, to serve God and men?
A09977and is there any then that thou shouldest choose to walke with more than with him?
A09977and shall not we take notice of his presence, and direct our thoughts to him, and apply our selves to him?
A09977and what need had he of riches, or lands, or friends?
A09977and when any alterations come to passe, who is he that stoppeth them?
A09977and who is able to judge of him or of his actions?
A09977and why doe men joyne other things with him?
A09977and your labour for that, which satisfieth not?
A09977are they brought home to him?
A09977art thou not a creature?
A09977art thou not made?
A09977as if he should say; he is a great God, who can come neere him?
A09977as the former and latter raine: doth not God give more or lesse, according to his good pleasure?
A09977but because we have so litle mindes?
A09977but what hast thou to- doe with the Lord?
A09977come they not hence, even of your lusts that warre in your members?
A09977doe their hearts get any thing?
A09977every one would say, that to have Gods image renewed in them, were the best: but then why doest thou not busie thy selfe about it?
A09977from God or from men?
A09977hast thou not heard that the everlasting GOD the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary?
A09977have I brought any glory to the Lord?
A09977have I converted any?
A09977have I no other end, but my selfe?
A09977have I such a heart that will carry me to sinne?
A09977he findes his heart so disposed, that he begins to quarrell with his heart, and to fall out with it; and to say; What?
A09977he that made the eare, shall not he heare?
A09977he would say, grace: but then why doe you not bestow some time about it, to get it?
A09977how carefull would he be to spend this houre well?
A09977how farre is this required in his worship?
A09977how shall men deale with him?
A09977if he will heale us, what needs the Physitian?
A09977if hee will cloath us, and give us meat and drinke, then what needs wealth?
A09977is it enough for thee to live, and no more?
A09977is it in vaine?
A09977is it not for our use?
A09977is it not for this, that men might make use of this power of his?
A09977is it not from hence, that they are pusillanimous, that they doe too much esteeme the face of men?
A09977is not he onely wise to give thee direction upon all occasions?
A09977is not the Lord as well able to helpe in desperate cases, if he be Allmighty?
A09977it hath that part of it selfe originally?
A09977or what likenesse will you compare unto him?
A09977shall I bee trampled under foot?
A09977shall he speake, and not make it good?
A09977so they that have their estates provided for them, they care not for learning, they say, they can live without it; but art not thou made?
A09977that will not onely carry me to sinne, but to hell?
A09977the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
A09977to get our spirits thus cleansed?
A09977was it not the Lord?
A09977what is the reason, that things are of no greater antiquity than they are?
A09977what profit, what good is it to us?
A09977what shall I say unto them?
A09977what shall I say unto them?
A09977what shall I say unto them?
A09977what shall I say unto them?
A09977when the times are bad, doe not men say; oh, wee shall never see better dayes?
A09977whereas, if God were knowne in his greatnesse, what would the praise of great men be to the praise of the great GOD?
A09977who can converse with him?
A09977who hath bounded the waters in a garment?
A09977who hath established all the ends of the earth?
A09977who hath gathered the winds in his fist?
A09977who is he that sets bounds to them, but only the Lord?
A09977who knowes his counsels?
A09977why are so many damned?
A09977why are so many swept away?
A09977why are there any alterations at all?
A09977why are they not sooner perfected?
A09977why doe these things goe so far, and no further?
A09977why doe you studie much, and pray so little?
A09977why doest thou not labour for it?
A09977why doth the sea over- flow some places, and goe no further?
A09977why so?
A09977why were they no sooner found out?
A09977why will you not hearken, and obey?
A09977wil he take away his pleasure from him, his wealth, or his credit?
A09977will hee damne them for his owne glory?
A09977with this: Can any man hide himselfe in secret places, that I shall not see him, saith the Lord?
A09977yet this is not enough; Did there follow hereupon a generall change within thy heart, and a new heart, and a new spirit given thee?
A2852025 REason( which is gone forth with Adam out of Paradise) asketh, Where is Paradise to be had[ or found]?
A2852037 If we will be still so very earthly minded, as to think that God made all the beasts of a lump of earth; of what then is their Spirit made?
A28520All thy Companions are so very beautifull, thou shalt have joy in them all: wherefore doest thou esteeme thy corruptible life?
A28520Also where is the place of my rest?
A28520Am I not thy Ornament, and thy Crowne?
A28520And a He said, What hast thou done?
A28520And being in his Ministry[ service or worship] wee are the most holy and best, who may compare himselfe with us?
A28520And he said, Here am I: and I am afraid, for I am naked; And the Lord said; Who hath told thee that thou art naked?
A28520And he said, the Woman gave to mee and I did eate; and he said unto the Woman, Why hast thou done so?
A28520And know you not that the band of the Eternity standeth free, and maketh it selfe?
A28520And seeing also that he alone is the life, and the light, and the holy power, as it is undeniably true, from whence cometh the anger of God?
A28520And should wee therefore say that God is well pleased with anger and strife?
A28520And then cometh the Element[ of]( Earth) and saith, What will you three doe alone?
A28520And where is that desirable Native Countrey where there is no death?
A28520And where now shall I seeke for the fruit and profit of my Garden of Roses?
A28520And where shall that[ then] remaine when this world perisheth?
A28520Are wee not Lords in his Kingdome?
A28520Are yee not all Brethren,& are yee not all in Christ?
A28520Art thou at home in this world?
A28520Art thou not Babell, a Habitation of all Devils in Pride?
A28520Art thou not a light to the blinde, and appointest Teachers for them, which y drive them to patience?
A28520Art thou not his work of Wonder?
A28520Art thou not shining in Bravery?
A28520Behold thou childe of Man, there was a threefold strife in Adam, without Adam, and in all whatsoever Adam beheld?
A28520Behold thou poore soule in thy Bath of Thornes, where is thy home?
A28520Behold, doest thou know how a childe cometh to be flesh and bloud?
A28520Behold, out of what are the Turks growne?
A28520Behold, what are thy five senses?
A28520Behold, what doth comprehend thy will, or wherein consisteth thy life?
A28520But it[ must be and] was made in the Paradise out of the Eternall[ Essences]?
A28520But reason saith, the Body of Christ is but in one place, how can he then be every where?
A28520But the Divine Answer in the Light of Nature saith to mee; Behold, out of what art thou growen?
A28520But the Question is; Wherefore grew the earthly Tree of the knowledge of good and evill?
A28520But thou earthly Babell, what shall I write much of thee for?
A28520But thou mad world, what shall the Spirit say[ of thee]?
A28520But what can be said, the Devill will have it no otherwise?
A28520But what do you think that he brought to man into the flesh when he came?
A28520But what doe you thinke there was before the times of the world, out of which the Earth and Stones proceeded, as also the Starres and Elements?
A28520But what is the fire?
A28520But what now was God to doe?
A28520But what shall I spend the time for, with these testimonies?
A28520But what will the Spirit of this Kingdome say?
A28520But when you aske; Doth Christ sit or stand, or lye along?
A28520But whence come they both?
A28520But whence hath the minde its originall?
A28520But where then is the New Regeneration in Christ through the Holy Ghost?
A28520By what meanes then did he give the Law?
A28520Can the Kingdome of Christ be found in such things?
A28520Can this be no joy and rejoycing?
A28520Consider thy selfe, what is it that thou art[ then]?
A28520Could he not dye some other Death; and so spring through Death, with his Heavenly Body?
A28520Did not he walke on foote upon earth?
A28520Didst thou not see him plainly?
A28520Do but look upon your self, why have you earthly thoughts of your self?
A28520Doe but behold thy selfe thou blinde Minde, and consider thy selfe, where is thy Angelicall a forme in thee?
A28520Doest thou aske wherefore?
A28520Doest thou boast thy selfe to be a Christian, why doest thou not then beleeve his Word?
A28520Doest thou not appeare in Gods deeds of Wonder?
A28520Doest thou not defend thy Countrey?
A28520Doest thou not know that the Tincture in the seede is a blossome of the life which qualifieth[ or mingleth] with thy body and soule?
A28520Doest thou not punish the wicked, and lookest to it, where the enemy breaketh it?
A28520Doest thou not right?
A28520Doest thou not see, that the Apostles of Christ and their Successours( who dwelt in the Paradise of Christ with their soules) and did great Wonders?
A28520Doest thou not stand to the honour of the Great God?
A28520Doest thou not think it hath another Principle; and that thou shalt not finde it, except thou beest borne anew?
A28520Doest thou not think that the Devill mocketh thee?
A28520Doest thou say[ it cometh] from the hearing and seeing of a thing?
A28520Doest thou still say, thou art in the Garden of Roses?
A28520Doest thou suppose that God hath Adders and Serpents in the broken Gate of the Regeneration in the Pleasant Habitation?
A28520Doest thou suppose that God taketh pleasure in it?
A28520Doest thou suppose that it shall[ then] be an Angel?
A28520Doest thou suppose that thou hast hunted away the Wolfe by this meanes?
A28520Doest thou suppose that thou shalt finde the Paradise with thy Reason in thy Art?
A28520Doest thou suppose wee set thee forth in vaine?
A28520Doest thou suppose, that the Deity( in Christs becoming Man) divided it selfe?
A28520Doest thou thinke that o he will adorne thy hypocrisie, and will hang his Pearle on thee?
A28520Doth he not forgive many greater sinnes?
A28520Doth he not rest in thy Armes?
A28520Doth it goe farre, or doth it stay here?
A28520Doth not the Regenerator bid us come to him, and whosoever cometh to him, he will not reject?
A28520Doth not the Sonne see plainly what the Father doth in his house?
A28520For what needed God to care so much for the biting of an Apple, as to destroy so faire a creature for it?
A28520For what would it help mee, if he had brought a strange soule with him?
A28520From whence cometh the Devill, and his[ evill] will; also Hell- fire, from whence hath that its Originall?
A28520Had it been possible to redeem Man[ without it] what needed God to come into our forme, and be crucified?
A28520Hast thou eaten of the Tree, whereof I said unto thee, that thou shouldest not eate thereof?
A28520Hast thou not devoured my Branches, and brought forth young Wolves, which devoure thy b Cattle also?
A28520Hast thou not taken possession of all?
A28520Hast thou not the Earth in possession freely as God gave it thee?
A28520Hast thou not trampled in my Garden of Roses, and there made thee a Coutch?
A28520Hast thou not turned it into a horrible Worme and Beast?
A28520Hath not Christ brought thee in againe, wherefore then didst thou not stay there?
A28520Hath not the Deity of Christ put on the Kingdome of Heaven for a Body?
A28520Hath not the Devill also been an Angel, wherefore went he away from God?
A28520Have I not given thee my Spirit for a o Conductour, and allotted thee my Kingdome for thy own?
A28520Have I not given thee my body for food, and my bloud for drink?
A28520Have I planted thee?
A28520Have not I[ saith Christ] broken thy wilde Beast?
A28520Have you not turned them all into wilde branches?
A28520He did not ride so; He had not whereon to lay his head: what kingdome doe you build for him?
A28520Hearken beloved Reason, when the Word became Man in the body of Mary, was he not at that time also alost above the Starres?
A28520Hearken, Aske your minde about it, wherefore it so suddenly generateth and conceiveth in it selfe a thought of anger, and then of love?
A28520Here consider now beloved Minde, what kinde of virgin that was?
A28520Here open your noble minde, see and search further; seeing God is onely Good, from whence cometh the Evill?
A28520Hereupon Reason will say, is not God the Father one[ and the same] Essence with the Sonne?
A28520How art thou become thus?
A28520How cometh it to passe, that they lie at thy feete?
A28520How doe thy silken and golden cloaths adorne thee?
A28520How hast thou adorned thy selfe?
A28520How is it sinne?
A28520How is it, when thou thy selfe art in the Abysse with all Devills?
A28520How then will thy Tree grow againe?
A28520How wilt thou receive the holy Body in the Love, if thou art a Devill?
A28520I perceive nothing but water, and words?
A28520If Christ had brought a strange soule from Heaven, how should wee have been delivered?
A28520If I might but receive thy glorious light, how full of joy should I be?
A28520If Mary had proceeded out of the Trinity, where should our poore captivated soules have been?
A28520If the childe be a bud, growen in thy Tree, and that thou standest in the Covenant; wherefore bringest thou not also thy bud z into the Covenant?
A28520If thy Maker in thee, doth not make the Image of God, but the Image of the Serpent, how wilt thou then bring thy Beast into the Kingdome of Heaven?
A28520If you did converse in Love, what should you need to strive about your Native Countrey( wherein you dwell)?
A28520If you say it cometh from the light of the Sunne, then what shineth in the night, and enlighteneth your u senses and understanding so?
A28520In the deep above the starres?
A28520Is he[ according to thy Reason] too poore in this world, yet he is rich in Heaven; who wilt thou send to him, to be reconciled to thee?
A28520Is it a r sinne, for us to enquire after God( our salvation,) and after our true Native Countrey?
A28520Is it farre off, or neere?
A28520Is it in this world, or without the place of this world above the starres?
A28520Is not Christs body now in the i holy Ternary, and eateth Paradisicall food?
A28520Is not the Anger broke out and burning?
A28520Is not the Mercy of God greater than Heaven and Earth: what doe you meane?
A28520Is the Patient an Historicall Christian?
A28520Is the soule Holy?
A28520Is the will of God his food, why then is it not ours, if we live in him?
A28520Is there not a friendly c laughter before thee?
A28520Is your scorne and derision of others, Christs Meeknesse?
A28520Know you not what Paul said?
A28520Look upon Christs Apostles, did any other teach them than God, who was in them, and they in him?
A28520Looke, what doe you finde in these things?
A28520My Love never stirred thee up, all thy branches are wilde, and thy fruit is wilde; Doest thou think that my soule lusteth after thy food?
A28520NOw saith Reason, if Christ ascended thus with his body, which he b offered up on the Crosse, when was he Glorified in his body?
A28520Nay, will not the Father be well pleased that his Sonne is so apt[ and forward to learn?]
A28520Now Reason asketh: Whither goeth the Holy Ghost, when he goeth forth out of the Father and Sonne, through the Word of God?
A28520Now deare soule, see all over round about you, in your selfe and in all things, what finde you therein?
A28520Now if the Soule eateth of the cleere Deity, what[ food] hath the body then?
A28520Now if you aske; Wherefore came not the Love of God to helpe them againe?
A28520Now it may be asked, What then was properly the Tempting in Adam?
A28520Now it may be asked, wherefore thou art called the Antichrist?
A28520Now look upon an hearb or plant, and consider it, what is its life which makes it grow?
A28520Now saith Reason, What is the best Counsell and Remedy for the poore soule?
A28520Now saith Reason, how is the Baptisme then?
A28520Now that did the vertue in Adam, in this strife?
A28520Now the Question is; What is Gods Image?
A28520Now the minde asketh, What is sinne then?
A28520Now then Reason asketh, What doth the wicked receive which is unregenerated?
A28520Now then saith Reason, whither is he gone?
A28520Now then the question is, Out of what should they come forth?
A28520Now thou Reason, full of misery, defects, and infirmities, how doe you thinke you should possibly stand here: would you not promise faire with Adam?
A28520Now thou wilt say, what did Christ give to his Disciples in his Last Supper, when he sat with them at Table?
A28520Now thus saith Reason: What are then the words of Moses concerning the Woman?
A28520Now what is it that maketh the hearing, that you can heare that which stirreth and maketh a noise?
A28520Now what opposed him, or what drew him from Paradise to disobedience, so that he passed into another Image[ forme or condition]?
A28520Now which was the Champion in the Battle?
A28520Now who is the Destroyer of this Church?
A28520Now you will say, Where then shall I finde it?
A28520Now, saith Reason, how could Adam and Eve know what God meant by the Treader upon the Serpent?
A28520Now[ Reason''s] question is; How hath Eve received the soule from Adam?
A28520O Hell, where is thy Victory?
A28520O Hell, where is thy Victory?
A28520O yee blinde Wolves of Babell, what have we to doe with you?
A28520O you high Priests and b Scribes, what answer will you make to Christ, when you shall be found thus[ at his comming]?
A28520Or art thou not that fine painted[ adorned Whore]?
A28520Or canst thou not once know the thorny Bath, wherein thou swimmest?
A28520Or doe you suppose you stand in the dark?
A28520Or doest thou suppose m it was for nothing?
A28520Or doest thou suppose that God sent Moses, to slay the Kings of the Heathens in the Promised Land, and that he is so well pleased with murtherings?
A28520Or doest thou suppose that wee are mad?
A28520Or doest thou suppose this is not true; which my beloved companion hath shewed mee; when he opened my eyes, that I saw?
A28520Or doest thou suppose, that I write of the fall of Man without e light and understanding?
A28520Or doest thou suppose, that it is an invented Fable?
A28520Or doest thou suppose, that wee are madde that wee write thus?
A28520Or doest thou suppose, when God became Man, that he was shut up and consined within the Humanity, and was not every where?
A28520Or hast thou an Absolution for that which thou sowest in Hell?
A28520Or how canst thou help them that are in Heaven?
A28520Or how is his body now?
A28520Or shall I be filent?
A28520Or shall not the Spirit set it downe before thy eyes thou lascivious filthy Strumpet?
A28520Or should I not tell thee this, thou proud Whore?
A28520Or what shall thy Noble Warriour Christ say to it?
A28520Or wilt thou give the new Man earthly food?
A28520Or, what shall I say?
A28520Or, when the soules goe into Paradise, whither do they goe?
A28520Reason alwayes seeketh for Paradise, out of which it is gone forth: and it sayth; Where is the place whither the soules goe to rest in?
A28520Reason asketh: How long was Adam in Paradise before his Fall, and how long did the Temptation last?
A28520Reason asketh: Is Eve meerely created out of the Rib[ taken] out of Adam?
A28520Reason saith how might that come to passe, that the first Man borne of a Woman was[ so evill] a malicious Murtherer?
A28520Say not, What doth Baptisme availe a childe, which understandeth it not?
A28520Seeing then that the soule of her childe was in the holy Trinity, what doest thou think here?
A28520Shall he therefore reject the whole crop, or burne it for the Thistles and Darnells sakes?
A28520Shall it stand in the Heaven in the Holy Element, or in the Abysse?
A28520Shall not thy knowledge be a witnesse against thee, which shall judge thee?
A28520Should he be at Enmity against himselfe?
A28520That out of which these proceeded was the Roote: But what is the Roote of these things?
A28520The Mother of Jesus?
A28520The children of this world are wiser in their Generation than the children of Light?
A28520The heavenly body of Christ did eate no earthly food, but the outward body onely did eate that?
A28520Then Reason asketh: What was the rib[ taken] out of Adam to be[ made] a Woman?
A28520Then how cometh the fire to be?
A28520Then said Mary to the Angel, How shall that come to passe, since I know not a Man?
A28520Then said the virgin; Why wilt thou use t violence?
A28520Then saith Reason, wherefore doe they so?
A28520Then saith the minde: Wherefore doth God let it move so long in the Anxiety?
A28520Then the Minde asketh, May not a soule( by the Intercession of Men[ or their Praying for them]) be ransomed out of Purgatory?
A28520Then thou hast great honour for thy great shame; and therefore why art thou so sad?
A28520Then what was it that God now did with Adam?
A28520Then why should the heavenly Father be so displeased with his children in this world, which depend upon him, and enquire after him?
A28520Therefore consider from whence the tincture proceedeth, wherein the noble life springeth up?
A28520Therefore doe but thinke what thou wilt doe, wilt thou not then curse and judge thy selfe?
A28520Therefore now the question is, Where the soule of Christ was all the time that the body did Rest in the Grave?
A28520Thou art a Spirit: but what kinde of source[ or property] is it that thou hast in thee?
A28520Thou sayest, Christ is ascended into Heaven, how then can he be in this world?
A28520Thou supposest that it is a small matter to commit whoredome: But I pray consider thy selfe, whither doest thou send thy Tincture?
A28520Thou wilde Beast, how comest thou so great and strong?
A28520Thou wilt aske, What is the New e Regeneration?
A28520Thou wilt say, How great is that[ number] then?
A28520Thou wilt say, How?
A28520Thou wilt say, What was it?
A28520Thy pleasure is onely in the corruptible Beast, but what doth that avayle the soule?
A28520To what purpose are they invented, but for the pleasure of Antichrist, who thereby doth strut in might and pomp, and is God on Earth?
A28520Was it then the purpose of God that the evill should domineere among the Good, and one plague another?
A28520Was not covetousnesse thy sinne, in that thou affordest not thy Members so much as thy selfe?
A28520Was not the Earth thy own?
A28520What are Lawes in the Kingdome of Christ, who hath made us free, that we should walke in him in the Holy Ghost?
A28520What becomes then of his eternall humanity, according to which he was a King of the promise upon the Throne of David?
A28520What can be possibly named which can be more pleasant?
A28520What can he said of thee O Cain?
A28520What careth he for thy songs and roaring noise, if thy Heart be a murtherer and devourer?
A28520What doe you doe?
A28520What doth that availe us?
A28520What is it now that thou c hast after thy corrupting, when thou dyest?
A28520What is it now, that lyeth in the way of the wicked, that he can not come?
A28520What is it that thou doest?
A28520What is the Matrix out of which they should come forth?
A28520What is the first matter[ of it] in him, seeing he was created out of the Originall Eternall Spirit?
A28520What is their birth or off spring?
A28520What sayest thou then of thy New Man?
A28520What shall Saint Peter say to it, doest thou suppose that he will give thee the Keys of the Kingdome of Heaven?
A28520What shall be said of you?
A28520What shall become of thee then thou blind Babell?
A28520What shall it doe in this Bath of Thornes and Thistles?
A28520What then moved the Devill to be angry, and evill?
A28520What was done there?
A28520When Adam went into the wilde Garden, there he z planted thee, how art thou growen so great?
A28520When God appeared to Moses in the e burning Bush, he said, Pull off thy shooes; for here is a holy place: What was that?
A28520When as I am Immortall in my new Man; wherefore should I be much afraid in the Earthly Man, which belongeth to the Earth?
A28520When he was at Nazareth, was he not then also at Jerusalem, and every where in all the Thrones[ of Heaven]?
A28520When indeed the soule is fed with the Holy Ghost; What[ food] hath thy new Man then?
A28520When thou wentest out of Paradise into this world, wherefore didst thou not continue in one[ onely] Love?
A28520Whence hath it its sap, if the soule stand thus in the Bath of the Anger?
A28520Where are thy Brothers and Sisters?
A28520Where is it that God dwelleth with the Angels?
A28520Where is the Noble fruit which I did sowe?
A28520Where is the place of his Rest?
A28520Where is thy Image of God?
A28520Where will you seek God?
A28520Wherefore art thou againe entered into the Spirit of this World?
A28520Wherefore didst thou not love the members of thy body?
A28520Wherefore didst thou not rejoyce in thy Neighbour?
A28520Wherefore doest thou despise mee, and goest away from mee?
A28520Wherefore doest thou love that wilde Beast so much, which doth but afflict thee?
A28520Wherefore doest thou not embrace him?
A28520Wherefore doest thou not hunt after temporall honour, after pleasure and riches, that it may goe well with thee in this world?
A28520Wherefore doest thou suffer thy selfe to be despised and abused by those that are inferiour to thee, and know lesse than thou?
A28520Wherefore hath God a loathing against the substance which he hath created?
A28520Wherefore standeth thy Mother in e Babell, and is so very malicious?
A28520Wherefore then doest thou not seek the favour and friendship of the world?
A28520Wherefore then shall not our new Man doe so?
A28520Which is neerest of all to the Deity?
A28520Which( as often as it is generated) is a figure before God: how doest thou think, whether doth it stand in th love or anger of God?
A28520Whither flieth it when it departeth from the body?
A28520Who can judge mee, lay hold of mee, and c destroy mee, when I am( in my true Man) in God?
A28520Who can say that thou art a wrathfull Woman?
A28520Who could understand it?
A28520Who said, Love one another, be yee followers of mee, and so it shall be knowne that yee are my Disciples?
A28520Who will call thee a false Woman, if thou beest so very chast?
A28520Why art thou so angry, sterne,[ fierce, froward] and malicious?
A28520Why did God keep Israel forty yeares in the Wildernesse, and fed them with l Heavenly Bread?
A28520Why didst thou not eate with thy Brother?
A28520Why doe you Layety, hang[ and depend] on such a Strumpet?
A28520Why doest thou make thy selfe a foole to the world, and art every ones Owle and footstoole?
A28520Why doest thou not adorne thy brother with thy ornament?
A28520Why is it not so with the Beasts?
A28520Why should any p resist the spirit of Prophesie, which is Gods?
A28520Why shouldest thou not be stately and brave with those appearing holy hypocrites?
A28520Why then doest thou contend and strive so much after worldly Honour that is transitory?
A28520Why will you be fooled by Antichrist: by his lawes[ precepts] and pratings?
A28520Will you take the children of the earth, and feed upon them?
A28520Wilt thou be an Apostle of Christ, and wilt be but a Minister for the Belly, and teach onely according to thy Art?
A28520Wilt thou say, that thou wert created thus[ as] to this world in Adam at the beginning?
A28520Wilt thou say, the Devill beguiled him?
A28520Wouldst thou get into Heaven?
A28520Yes indeed, and he beguileth thee too, so that thou enviest the comelinesse and beauty of others: Hath God made thee a degree higher?
A28520You must not say that whole Christ with body and soule came from Heaven?
A28520[ or Belly- God,] or through the Birth of Jesus Christ?
A28520[ or frailty?]
A28520am not I Lord of the great Might of the fire?
A28520am not I entred into Death?
A28520am not I he that filleth all things?
A28520and doe you not know that the Tincture of the Mother is the first, when a childe shall be conceived?
A28520and he answered, I know not, Shall I be my Brothers keeper?
A28520and in the end a living soule?
A28520and n scourged, and crowned with a Crowne of Thornes, and at last be Crucified between Heaven and Earth?
A28520and now if the Sonne learn to do the same thereby, what displeasure will the Father have towards his Sonne for it?
A28520and that they are so leane, and thou onely art strong[ and lusty]?
A28520and thou art a Beast with thy young ones: should I suffer thee in my Garden of Roses?
A28520and what canst thou know then?
A28520and whether this Mother may not rightly stand upon the Moone, and despise that which is earthly?
A28520are not all, thy children which thou hast brought forth?
A28520art thou not a childe of Eve?
A28520art thou not growen in my wilde Garden?
A28520consider thy selfe deeply, if thou wilt be a Searcher into Nature, and wilt boast of the light of Nature?
A28520did he not eate heavenly food forty dayes in the Wildernesse, and alwayes afterwards?
A28520doest thou suppose that God doth not see thee?
A28520for if that had not been, Adam had not eaten of it; or wherefore must Adam be Tempted?
A28520from whom doest thou teach?
A28520hath it an Angelicall quality[ source or property]?
A28520how doest thou stand in this Covenant before the Holy Trinity?
A28520if thou wilt not enjoy my beauty?
A28520in meere love) like God himselfe?
A28520in thy Mausim?
A28520in what vertue doe they consist?
A28520is he gone out of this world, aloft above the Starres into another Heaven?
A28520is it in the Divine Obedience, in the light of Joy?
A28520is it now as his Disciples saw him ascend into Heaven?
A28520is its source[ or quality] in love, humility, and meeknesse?
A28520is not that a cheerfull welfare, when the soule dareth to looke into the Holy Trinity, wherewith it is filled?
A28520is not the pure Element( wherein the Deity dwelleth) his body?
A28520neither can it know mee, and wherefore then is it so mad?
A28520or how come they in the life of Man?
A28520or how is that done in Man?
A28520or rather do you not build the scornfull& reproachfull Church of Babell?
A28520or shall the Pearle be cast before swine?
A28520or wilt thou say: thou art not the Antichrist of Babell?
A28520seeing he was omniscient,[ or knew all things] therefore why did he let the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evill grow?
A28520that thou standest, and wilt ransom others out of Purgatory, and that for money, which thou afterwards spendest with Whores?
A28520that though your eyes be shut, you perceive and know what you doe?
A28520the proofe of it will cleerly follow?
A28520then shee should be far inferiour to Adam?
A28520thou desirest to be onely fine thy selfe alone: thy way onely h should be holy; Wherfore was the fratricide between Abel and Cain?
A28520thou mightest have made what thou wouldest of it: who did hinder thee in it?
A28520wee are not generated from your q Kingdome: why will you rend and teare our deare Immanuel out of our hearts and eyes, and so would make us blinde?
A28520what need had there been for thee to have coyned silver and gold, if unity had continued?
A28520when will it be that I shall see the virgin?
A28520whence cometh thy seeing, that thou canst see by the light of the Sunne, and not otherwise?
A28520where is your Apostolicall heart,[ consisting] in Love?
A28520where shall wee seek for him?
A28520which would fain learn to know him, fain labour in his works, and do his will?
A28520who hath given thee vertue[ or sappe] thou wilde Tree?
A28520wilt thou say that it is caused by the noise of that outward thing which giveth the sound?
A14095& goes about like a roaring Lyon seeking whome he may devoure, and doe they not wayt all opportunities to doe mischiefe?
A14095& is it a sober question to aske, howe it commethe to passe, that men of an huge stature are but men?
A14095& lastly why it dothe not dispossesse the earthe of her seate?
A1409513. Who knoweth the power of thy wrath?
A1409519. Who hath resisted his will?
A140952. Who is this that darkeneth counsell by words without knowledge?
A140952. in these words, Vnto infinite perfection what can accrew?
A1409522. it is said, that in Christ all shall be made alive; is this true thinke you of all and every one?
A1409522. may he not, or doth hee not in the same manner make their prosperity be their snares?
A1409522. wise to satisfie his lust, wise to compasse theire owne wicked endes; but shall he be accoumpted the wiser man for this?
A140952?
A1409533. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect, it is God that justifieth, who shall condemne us?
A14095A most rid ● culous amplification?
A14095A wonderfull assertion, and wherat the most barbarous people might be astonished in the consideration of the impiety, shall I say?
A14095About which truth, namely that God decreeth some things to come to passe contingently, why doe you faulter in this fowle manner?
A14095Adam in his innocency was free to doe evill was he not?
A14095Againe consider, how is it called the counsell of Gods will?
A14095Againe, doe we maintaine that God damnes any but impenitent sinners?
A14095Againe, how is Gods power fettered by his will?
A14095Againe, if sinne hath made them hatefull, is there not sinne enough in the world, in Iewes, Turkes, and Infidels to make them hatefull?
A14095Againe, this very desire of doing others good, is it not a part of our conformity to the will of God?
A14095Againe, though they come to passe contingently, yet why should you deny, or would not have us conceive that they fal out certainly?
A14095Againe, to know what I meane to doe, what a senselesse thing it is to say that this is to imprison my knowledge?
A14095Againe, what is the love of God?
A14095Againe, what justice doe you devise in God towards his creature?
A14095Againe, when you say, God loves all men as men; What is the meaning of this?
A14095Agayne I finde that Gabriell Vasquius proposeth a question, Whether the power of God doth any manner of way differ from Gods knowledge and his will?
A14095Agayne doe you thinke indeede, that it is by Gods permission only that men doe believe and repent?
A14095Agayne what is it to fit varieties, other then to produce them?
A14095Agayne, how can suspension of judgement be taken away, but by resolution this way or that way?
A14095Agayne, how dothe God conteyne durations successively infinite?
A14095Alas, doe your wits carry you?
A14095Alas, what comfort in outward things had christianity in the first three hundred yeares?
A14095Alas, what had the Sodomites beene the better for the blindenesse of their eyes, if God had not corrected the lusts of their hearts?
A14095All flesh shall see the salvation of God; what sober man will apply this to all and every man?
A14095And I nothing doubt but that it is just; but the question is wherin consisteth this justice?
A14095And I pray consider, what blessing hath God tendred unto the Angels since their fall?
A14095And I pray what are those other creatures?
A14095And I pray what is it to apprehend Gods patience, or his leading of us to repentance by his goodnesse and patience?
A14095And I pray what stile doe the learned give to that causa sine qua non?
A14095And I pray what think you?
A14095And I pray, who deserves to be accounted the author of my faith, the author of my repentance?
A14095And are all sinnes of this kinde unpardonable?
A14095And as God is sayde to have bene in seipso in himselfe, before the World was made, is he not so to be accoumpted still?
A14095And as it was said of such as suddenly became Prophets, But who is their father?
A14095And by warres is procured peace, but is it without intention of harme to any?
A14095And call you this the objective goodnesse of a thing possible?
A14095And can you tell who is ignorant of this?
A14095And consider I pray doe you call this fatherly love and doe you accoumpt this the fervency of fatherly love?
A14095And dare you affirme that God hath decreed to give the grace of faith and repentance unto all?
A14095And dare you avouch the contrary?
A14095And did Prince Palatine,& the lady Elizabeth, or their Asociates, bringe in this conceyte amongst them?
A14095And did our conclusion proceede in any other sense?
A14095And doe not you I pray concurre with them in this, even in this place?
A14095And doe the Scholemen, you speake of, maynteyne it as a point irresoluble, whether an Angell may be defined within a point of imagination only?
A14095And doe they not allso confesse, that the H. Ghost proceedes from bothe per modum voluntatis?
A14095And doe you knowe any of vs to deny eyther of these?
A14095And doe you thinke it is naturall for a man to know God?
A14095And doth God give faith and repentance unto all?
A14095And doth Gods justice binde him to be untrue?
A14095And doth Gods love to man appeare more herein, then to the vilest creature that is?
A14095And doth either Scripture or Eclesiasticall phrase allow you in this?
A14095And doth it not become God from everlasting to intend to proceed in the day of judgement, as before spoken of?
A14095And doth not Gods word manifestly teach, that repentance is the gift of God?
A14095And first I demand, Who ever said that God did intend the destruction of any as it is a meanes of blisse to them whom he loves?
A14095And for good reason doe we pray so: for is not every one bound to seeke the salvation of all men, as much as lyeth in his power?
A14095And give that as a reason why he must love justice better then any man?
A14095And have heavy thinges any neede( thinke you) of supportance to keepe them from weighing upwards?
A14095And how can his holinesse worke upon his will?
A14095And how can that be called permanent, which bothe beginnes and endes in one and the same instant of time?
A14095And how can that bee a good will to the poore, that practiseth to coosen others for the gratifying of the poore?
A14095And how can they be sayd to be in God?
A14095And how doe we exempt any from all possibility of receiving it?
A14095And how doth our duration flow from Gods, but as an efficient cause, and that equivocall, that is wholly different?
A14095And how many Magistrates doe punish even such sinnes, wherof themselves are guilty?
A14095And how, I pray, is this necessity, but in respect of the decree of God?
A14095And howe can that be sayde not to be, or not truly to be which as you say, participates of Gods beinge?
A14095And if God be the true and principall cause of them, did hee not decree that he would be the true and principall cause of them?
A14095And if Gods will be unresistible, as the Apostle plainly testifieth, shall not the operation whereby his will is accomplished, bee irresistible?
A14095And if he be equity it selfe, is he not justice it selfe also?
A14095And if he be justice it selfe, is he not mercy it selfe also seing you make him the eternall patterne of the one as well as of the other?
A14095And if our existence be present, as you call it, how can it be suckt in?
A14095And if our life be a true life, our motion a true motion, is not our beinge allso a true beinge?
A14095And if repentance were profered, I pray upon what termes?
A14095And if some doe sinne in blessing themselves, how much more doe others sinne in blessing idols?
A14095And if wee shall give an account of every idle word, as our Saviour hath professed unto us, why not as well of every idle thought?
A14095And if you are pleased to attribute sense unto God, why doe you not attribute unto him feeling, and smelling, and tastinge allso?
A14095And if you take them as continuall, why should they not be stiled one motion?
A14095And in haec Amph ● arae sub terram abd ● tae?
A14095And in making Sodom and Gomorrah examples of his judgements, did he not intend our good?
A14095And is it impossible thinke you for Gods will to decline this?
A14095And is it not I pray alike impossible that the thing created should be fitted to the Creator?
A14095And is it not confessed not only by great Schoolemen, but even by our divines allso, that the Sonne is produced of the Father per modum intellectus?
A14095And is it not, I pray, as well in other Arguments as in this?
A14095And is it probable then, it should be against Gods will that any should dye?
A14095And is not prayer a speciall meanes for this?
A14095And is not this in Gods power?
A14095And is this a proper course, to runne out to the imagination of thinges impossible to represent God by?
A14095And may you not as well say; that he loves at this day every creature, in as much as he preserveth them?
A14095And of the tendring of this grace in Christ unto all that heare it preached, who ever doubted?
A14095And shall not the raising of men from the dead be a worke of power?
A14095And shall such a bug- beare deterre us from acknowledging God to be the author of repentance?
A14095And shall we never linne to compare the nature of God to the vayne imaginations of such vayne thinges?
A14095And so the question, to come to an issue, should be this, Whether God intends thus well to all, or no?
A14095And supposing things to be decreed by God to come to passe, dare you deny but it necessarily followeth herehence, that they shall come to passe?
A14095And surely if not to be changed, were to be impotent; how impotent must God needes be, with whome is no variablenes nor shadowe of change?
A14095And surely, did wee not believe Gods serious protestations, why should wee regard his oath?
A14095And that Gods continuance extends not only beyond, but everlastingly beyond that, which never shall have an end?
A14095And the question wil come to this, whether there be any accident in God?
A14095And therfore when you aske, whether upon the creatinge of a newe Heaven, it is not possible that God should be therin?
A14095And thou Iames the Apostle, how hast thou deceived us in ll ●, that with God there is no variablenesse nor shadow of change?
A14095And was Gods word afforded to all in the daies of the Old Testament?
A14095And was it possible that errour, and so Foule an errour of judgement could be in an Angell before his fall?
A14095And were it not a madde thing to affirme that the longer a man lives the more he loseth of his liberty?
A14095And what Ecclesiasticall history( I pray) hathe affoorded you this oracle?
A14095And what a field have you here to expatiate in if you list to aggravate the unnaturalnesse of any action in God?
A14095And what courtly decorum is observed thinke you when the second comming of Christ is compared to the comming of a theife in the night?
A14095And what devise you should move all the rest of the mutineers to concurre with him in so unreasonable an affectation?
A14095And what expresse signification doe wee finde here, that Gods will is, that all without exception should come unto the trueth and be saved?
A14095And what is this dangerous doctrine?
A14095And what loving instructions doth God minister to those Heathen, who doe not so much as know God, nor ever were acquainted with his word and Gospell?
A14095And what necessitie, I pray, of any such fiction?
A14095And what new duration is added unto man by his continuance?
A14095And what one of our Church will maintaine, that any one obtaines actuall redemption by Christ without faith?
A14095And what sober man would expect or desire that they should last longer then for eternity?
A14095And what thinke you in this case?
A14095And what thinke you, if some attributes be founde answerable to personall distinctions in the Trinity?
A14095And what, I pray are those perfections whereof our generall duties are the imperfect representations?
A14095And what, I pray, will you make gods of us?
A14095And where I pray are these herbes of grace known to grow, is it any where but in Gods word?
A14095And where I pray must he forbid it, and by what law?
A14095And where he doth afford his word, is this all the mercy he shewes, namely, to perswade men to repent?
A14095And where is any mention of Christ Iesus in all this?
A14095And who I pray shall be the dispenser of that punishment, that in justice belongs to the Divills themselves?
A14095And who doubts but the faith of Peter, and his repentance, the faith of Paul and his repentance, were contingents?
A14095And who ever censured this prayer of Moses for sinne?
A14095And why doe you call this world a vale of misery?
A14095And why may not Angells as well wayt all opportunities to doe us good, according to the will of theyr and our Heavenly father?
A14095And why should God regard that which is not performed in obedience to his will?
A14095And why should any mutability be a resemblance of Gods freedome, who is immutabile throughout?
A14095And why should not these rules of equity be stamped on the will, as well as on sensuall appetites?
A14095And why should this argue any distraction in God, more then in a Iudge that absolveth some, and condemneth others?
A14095And why shoulde you accoumpt it a condition of being, to be in nothing?
A14095And why shoulde you put your selfe to such paynes of phrasifyinge, in proovinge that nothing can not bring foorth any ranke of being?
A14095And why so?
A14095And why so?
A14095And will it follow, that because wee must imitate Gods actions in a speciall case, therefore we must imitate his dealings generally?
A14095And will you challenge God of unnaturalnesse for this?
A14095And will you put all these into one cluster, or posie rather, consisting partly of garden flowers, partly of stinking flowers of the field?
A14095And with what congruity I pray you may rules of equity be said to bee stamped upon faculties, that are not intellectuall?
A14095And yet I pray consider, what father would torment his children with everlasting fire, though never so unnaturall towards him?
A14095And yet how many are so far from having their hearts filled with food and gladnesse, that sometimes they perish for want of bread?
A14095And yet when you breake forth in avouching manifest contradiction, would you have your reader conceave your selfe to be in a sober discourse waking?
A14095And you doe in vaine seeme to strive against this; For can you deny this argument?
A14095Are mens thoughts and actions this yeare, the rewardes and punishments of the same mens actions the other yeare?
A14095Are not Devills accursed?
A14095Are not all humane acts of a contingent nature, and consequently have a contingencie in them?
A14095Are these the rules that God himselfe doth so strictly observe?
A14095Are they damned?
A14095As for example, before the World was made it was possible that the World should be made, was this by vertue of Gods decree?
A14095As for example, this minute of an houre is present but how?
A14095As for temporall blessings, Gods love therein to man, how can it be knowne to a man unregenerate, seeing it can bee knowne onely by faith?
A14095As for the currrent of glory, how hath any man the more, for that others are wholly deprived of it?
A14095As for the elect Angels, doe you thinke they doe already possesse all that may belong unto them, either in respect of knowledge or glory?
A14095As touching the other, doth not Callimachus acknowledge as much, when he saith, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A14095At length you come to the point, and demand, Whether God doth intend thus well to all?
A14095At the day of judgement shall not our Saviour pronounce that sentence on thousands, Go ye cursed into everlasting fire?
A14095Be God never so louely, yet if a man know him not, how can hee love him?
A14095Bee it that God had done as much as could bee done for his unfruitfull vineyard, what is this to prove, that Gods love extends to all?
A14095Both are acts of command: now I pray consider, doth Gods power command?
A14095But I deny not but that God made the world out of love; but out of love to whome?
A14095But I pray answer me, Doth he unfainedly love the Devils?
A14095But I pray consider, doth the worke of grace extend no further then to planting and watering?
A14095But I pray consider, is he not justice it selfe also as well as loving kindnesse?
A14095But I pray consider, is it possible that God should doe any thing against his will?
A14095But I pray consider, to exempt some from possibility of repenting upon supposition; is this to exempt from all possibility without supposition?
A14095But I pray consider, was it possible for God to take a more wise and convenient course for the salvation of the world then he hath done?
A14095But I pray consider, what need was there of repentance before Adams fall?
A14095But I pray consider, what sect is there in the world that might not use the like?
A14095But I pray in what sense of truthe, or truthe of sense, can you averre that every body is with every place?
A14095But I pray what thinke you of infants perishing in originall sin?
A14095But I pray you consider, are the thoughts and actions of men this yeare the proportioned end of somethinge that you did the last yeare?
A14095But I pray, what comfort is this you speake of, is it comfort in things spirituall, or comfort in Gods blessings temporall?
A14095But be it so that all other thinges are from him;& then allso accidents as well as substances are from him, and can they participate of Gods being?
A14095But be it, that you will bee as good as your word, what is that which you undertake to demonstrate?
A14095But by the way, what doe you meane to apply S. Austins restraint to this universall in this place?
A14095But by the way, where I pray doth it appeare, that God doth often pardon the sinnes of reprobates or that he doth at all pardon them?
A14095But consider I pray you; Can God produce a greater heate, then that which is infinite?
A14095But consider I pray, how is pluralitie a fitt attribute for indivisible unitie?
A14095But doe you remember what censure Aristotle passed vpon Empedocles, for this figurative& obscure manner of expressions in Philosophicall discourse?
A14095But doth God continually inspire this?
A14095But doth he make mans will to love him without constraint?
A14095But here some may say how then can any evill be committed?
A14095But how I pray do ● these when they are refused by some, the more overflow to others?
A14095But how I pray you could such a thing be affected, without errour of judgement?
A14095But how doe you prove that we have more fit termes to expresse Gods other attributes then this?
A14095But how is God present?
A14095But how or when shall Gods will of Iudas his salvation be accomplished?
A14095But how then will you prove, that the acts of men that shall be, are of a greater number, then those that might or should be, in some case?
A14095But how will you prove this?
A14095But howe will you accommodate the members of this distinction to the former proposition?
A14095But if I give over unto my passions my honesty, to be defiled by them, alas what have we more or greater to lose?
A14095But is God bound to forgive his enemies, and that alwaies, as we are?
A14095But is this representation only of natures extant as you speake?
A14095But of what Papists?
A14095But ordinarily in the course of Gods providence; who are more vexed by the Divill, the godly or the wicked rather?
A14095But some may say, If Gods essence be not here, where is it then?
A14095But suppose it had beene preached, and not received nor believed by the hearers, I pray what then?
A14095But suppose it would prove so, shall we from the temporall comforts wee may enjoy, conclude, that therefore our religion is the true religion?
A14095But take it at the best; why should you call this, the excellency of knowledge?
A14095But that this is a meere fiction of yours, ut recto stet fabula talo, and that hee did truly draw them to repentance; but how?
A14095But then I pray consider, did not God from everlasting know whether they would repent or no?
A14095But then I pray consider, what evidence have wee for the truth of it on your part, but your owne confidence, and your bare word expressing it?
A14095But then, I pray, what is this that shall resemble the divine knowledge?
A14095But this opinion you dislike, and upon what reason?
A14095But to come nearer; what thinke you of the Persons in the Trinitie?
A14095But was ever any heard to affirme, that God wills not the non repentance of him that dieth, to wit, with purpose to make it knowne unto him?
A14095But what Israel?
A14095But what ground have you for that?
A14095But what meane you so directly to contradict the word of God, as you doe if this be your opinion?
A14095But what meane you to say, that it is one& the same heate, that is with us in the spring time, and with them that travaile in the sandes of Affricke?
A14095But what thinke you?
A14095But when doth he move us thus?
A14095But when you say that his retribution of rewards and punishments is his measure; I pray of what?
A14095But where doe you finde( if a man might be so bold to aske) that an henne is so superlative a creature in her affection towards her chicken?
A14095But where, I pray, doe you finde any such protestation on Gods part?
A14095But who shall privilege God?
A14095But will you inferre herehence, therfore God hath coexistence with things future?
A14095But will you say that all and every one have redemption in Christ through his bloud?
A14095But with what colour can you inferre, that because it is possible to be, therefore God most certainly knowes that it shall be?
A14095But yet Austin was bold to say, Quantamlibet praebuerit patientiam nisi Deus dederit, quis aget poenitentiam?
A14095But yet to punish man, though a sinner,( for he punisheth no other) this how greatly( say you) doth it goe against the nature of God?
A14095But, doth Mr. Hooper justifie this?
A14095Call you this a correspondent consequent destined by God?
A14095Call you this the attractions of his infinite love?
A14095Can it be any thing else then the taking of the opportunity offered, and to repent indeed?
A14095Can warres bee managed without harme?
A14095Can you devise any fruite of this but the preservation of them in being?
A14095Christs yoake is easie and his burthen light to the regenerate: but is it so unto naturall men?
A14095Consider yet farther what I pray you, was the end of Iudas, which God did forecast in his creation?
A14095Could you be ignorant of this passage?
A14095Did God decree it to be possible?
A14095Did God wait till the measure of Esaus sinnes was full, and the measure of Iacobs obedience, before he did elect the one, and reprobate the other?
A14095Did ever any Christian deny this?
A14095Did not David in the matter of Vriah and Bathsheba?
A14095Did not Manasses in his idolatrous fury, sealing it with bloud?
A14095Did not Salomon in his idolatry?
A14095Did that Kingdome consist of more Protestants then Papists?
A14095Did the conscience of so foule a conclusion as was towards, make you blush to put it in writing?
A14095Did the peoples comforts, or the comforts of this kingdome encrease any whit hereupon?
A14095Doe not all confesse that God is no where without himselfe as conteyned, but only as conteyninge?
A14095Doe not we beleeve that our happinesse in the Kingdome of Heaven shall consist in the vision of God?
A14095Doe weake persons girde themselfes with strength; or is Gods girdinge of himselfe with strength, like to our girding of our clothes aboute us?
A14095Doe you expect that all the Bishops in England should bee of his judgement in this?
A14095Doe you see how well you performe the part of a disputant, and that in making good so foule a calumniation as is the deisying of equivocations?
A14095Doe you thinke there was not one sicke person left in all Galile and Syria that was not brought unto him?
A14095Doth God pardon any sinnes without repentance?
A14095Doth he not call some at the first, some not till the last houre of the day?
A14095Doth not Aristotle acknowledge felicity to be from God; and did this make them as happy as they might be?
A14095Doth not the Apostle tell us, The affections of the flesh are not subject to the law of God, nor can be?
A14095Doth the heat of fire worke upon the fire?
A14095Doth the knowledge of thinges usefull differ from knowledge?
A14095Ephraim?
A14095Every man seeth how the brightnes of the Sunne doth pierce the ayre, doth every man acknowledge God to incompasse time by his eternitie?
A14095Every wise decree presupposeth wisedome, and wisedome includeth knowledge, and what of this?
A14095Ex tribus principiis Homo generatur?
A14095Fiftly when, I pray, did this motion beginne?
A14095First no laws of the World( the execution whereof are reputed just) doe or can proceede after any such proportion?
A14095First you demaund whether this locall distance be created or no ● ▪ whether it be something or nothing?
A14095First, doth it like you to affirme that Gods decrees are finished and accomplished, provided that they be of a revocable nature, and may bee altered?
A14095First, you call him, A learned Bishop, and blessed Martyr; Et quis Herculem vituperat?
A14095For I demand, Hath God prevented your wilfull contempt of his goodnesse, yea or not?
A14095For I pray, what proportion doe you find in these?
A14095For are not the Morall vertues and recta ratio knitt together indissolubly?
A14095For are not these your wordes in interpreting our conclusion, All thinges are necessary in respect of Gods decree?
A14095For can not God preserve the Heaven and Earthe for ever if it please him?
A14095For consider I pray, will you say that God did by vertue of his immensitie coexist with all places before the world was?
A14095For consider I pray, would you have your reader swallow sucha goageon as this, that God is at this time free to decree this?
A14095For consider, did you never abandon the waies of peace, or wilfully neglect saving health, lovingly tendred unto you?
A14095For consider, is it a sober speech to say that God hath decreed that things may come to passe?
A14095For could no other punishment serve the turne but death?
A14095For dare any sober divine say, that Gods actuall existence hathe boundes, and that these boundes may be more or lesse enlarged?
A14095For did not God make them good, yea truly and inherently good?
A14095For doe you thinke it a sober course for me to desire and pray for the salvation of I know not whom?
A14095For exhortation may thus farre bee performed by a reprobate: for such plead at the day of judgement, Have we not prophesied in thy name?
A14095For first you suppose the beginning of succession may be taken backwards or forwards; but how is this possible?
A14095For first, what if God had not sworne it, but onely said it, had there been the lesse truth in it for this?
A14095For how could he, before any thing was?
A14095For how dothe God at this time coexist with them, which at this time have no existence at all?
A14095For how improbable were it, that God by his will should choose to be imperfect rather then perfect?
A14095For how is God sayde to be in any thinge?
A14095For how is it possible that a man can doe at once all the evill that he can doe?
A14095For how should an instantaneous or momentany motion in one body, produce a temporall motion in another body?
A14095For how should the continuation of existence be the losing of it?
A14095For if God had suffered them longer, and left them destitute of his grace, had they not profited in pejus, growing worse and worse?
A14095For if God made him good and withall impeccable, how was it possible he should not be confirmed in that good wherein hee was created?
A14095For if God take away the life of any man, will it follow that therefore we may doe soe also?
A14095For if S. Peter himselfe were alive and Bishop of Rome, yet what should he have to doe with governing of States?
A14095For if it dothe not, are we not well advanced to the conceaving of Gods eternitie, by comparing it to such impossibilities?
A14095For if possible not to be, howe is it possible, they shoulde atteyne to beinge?
A14095For if speech be not coeternall to his essence, how can truth of speech, or truth in speech be coeternall to his essence?
A14095For if the world were everlastinge?
A14095For is either man or Angell any thing the wiser for knowing what he is able to doe?
A14095For is not sense an organicall facultie, that is such a facultie as can not exercise its function without materiall instruments?
A14095For may he not rejoyne in this manner?
A14095For suppose the Sea shoulde overflowe the Land, shoulde it therby be sayde to swallowe it up?
A14095For the comparison is betweene resolution and the opposite therunto?
A14095For the greate day of his wrath is come, and who can stande?
A14095For the question is not, how great Gods love is towards those on whom it is placed; but whether it extend to all or no?
A14095For they doe exist, and God doth exist: But doth God coexist with them in time?
A14095For to coexist with that which is impossible to exist, what is it, but not to exist at all?
A14095For was there any possibility in Christ to sinne, or not to bee drawne to that which was good?
A14095For were the deeds of Babylon( thinke you) better then they of Sion?
A14095For what conformity can there be betweene the nature of a creature, and the nature of his Creator?
A14095For what doe we understand by Gyants, but men of a Gyantlike stature?
A14095For what doe you meane by libertie of doing good,& liberty of doing evill?
A14095For what doth the quantity of a gnat confer to the knowledg of Gods immensity?
A14095For what harshnes I pray is in this: God determined that all the evill that was done to Christ should be done by his permission?
A14095For what have I to doe to pray for the king of Bungo, if any such king or kingdome there be?
A14095For what hostilitie is to be feared betweene the ayre and the water?
A14095For what thinke you?
A14095For what vertues, I pray, can you finde in them, fitt to resemble him?
A14095For what( sayd you) can be after that which hath no end?
A14095For what?
A14095For what?
A14095For what?
A14095For what?
A14095For what?
A14095For which kind of censure delivered by you, I find no just reason; For what?
A14095For who hath resisted the will of God?
A14095For why should not one decree of God be temporary as well as another?
A14095For will it followe that because there is no God, besides him; therfore there is nothing that hathe any true beinge besides him?
A14095For you suppose men may doubt of this, and therefore you undertake to prove it: but when?
A14095For, consider, is it not as well possible not to bee?
A14095God foreknowes things to come, is he therfore present with them allso, which yet are not?
A14095God hath ordeyned the apprehension of a Traytor, eyther by this meanes or by that meanes, or by a third meanes or by a fourth?
A14095God himselfe chastiseth his owne children all manner of wayes, and is this for the good of others that deserve better, or not so ill?
A14095God may add something unto him if it please him; but if he continue him in statu quo, what addition, I pray?
A14095God, you say, is the incomprehensible perfection of all things; doe you meane of things create only, or only of things increate, or of bothe?
A14095God?
A14095Had the peoples comfort beene any whit the more encreased?
A14095Hath God any heart to be filled with woe, or eies to bee filled with teares?
A14095Hath not Aristotle delivered the contrary, and professed that felicity of contemplation is more eminent then the felicity of action?
A14095Hath not Aristotle delivered, that Incontinens non potest esse prudens, An incontinent man can not be a wise man?
A14095Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe, one vessell to honour, and another unto dishonour?
A14095Hath the Lord as greate pleasure in burnt- offrings and sacrifices as when the voyce ef the Lord is obeyed?
A14095Hathe nothing neyther beginning nor end of dayes, which is as much as to say, that the dayes of it are everlastinge?
A14095Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should dye, saith the Lord God, and not that hee should returne from his waies, and live?
A14095Have you not such a conceite as his?
A14095Here is strange language, had not we need of an interpreter, or of some urinator delius to dive into the depth, and sound the bettome if it?
A14095Here you conclude that he loves equity and justice better then he doth any man; but what meant you to leave out Mercy?
A14095Here you propose a question, shall we say then, he hath not decreed whatsoever doth or shall befall us?
A14095Homo quam difficile extra habitum naturalem posilus felicitatem sequitur, tam facile hanc in naturalem habitum restitutus assequitur?
A14095How are these places to bee reconciled?
A14095How incomparably then doth his active strength exceede all comparison?
A14095How is Gods wisdome seene in the contexture of a mans body, and every part thereof?
A14095How much lesse will you be able to make it good in vegetables of all sorts, as plants and trees, and in all sorts of mixt bodies?
A14095How much more under the Law?
A14095How neere drawes this to the making of God to consiste of nullities, since you say his naturall properties are best resembled unto nullities?
A14095How then doe you say, that the boundes of Gods coexistence with his creatures are or can be enlarged?
A14095I answer, God is still and ever shall be free, but in respect of what?
A14095I confesse this consequence is plausible, but to whome?
A14095I know no such double duration or course of time indented, as you speake of, what if a man be sometimes in health, and sometimes in sicknes?
A14095I pray consider the martyrdome of Gods Saints, were their punishmēts according to their deserts?
A14095I pray consider, doe parents chastise their children for the good of others, and not for the good of the children themselves?
A14095I pray doth Time passe: Eastward of Westward?
A14095I pray examine your rules well, and see whether it bee not a singular?
A14095I pray tell me, had not this decree of God existence in the beginning of the world, and before that also?
A14095I pray when did he begin to intend it?
A14095I pray, wherein had our Saviour Christ and the Sonne of God deserved to be punished?
A14095I presume you dare not affirme this: and what is the reason?
A14095I thinke you will not avouch it: And was he not therefore capable of endlesse joyes?
A14095If Goth doth not will their death as the sonnes of Adam, how doth he will it?
A14095If a creature, is it strange that the power of a creature should be inferior to the power the Creator?
A14095If a moment only, will it not followe, that time consisteth of nothing but moments?
A14095If it had, what meane you to say he doth decree it, as if this decree of God which yet you call eternall, had not existence till now?
A14095If it were a motion, is it fitt to attribute motion unto God?
A14095If not, what hath Gods decree to doe with them?
A14095If of grace, whether this grace be not a fruite of mercie?
A14095If so; how did he knowe all thinges before the World was?
A14095If the Divills punish any, as you say they doe; doe they punish them for sins committed in contradiction to theire wills?
A14095If this please you, what need you except against the conceiving of Gods decree as an act past or finished?
A14095If we know him to love us, and to be our friend, yet are not the best backward enough from loving him, when we are easily drawne to sinne against him?
A14095If yee love them that love you what reward shall ye have?
A14095If you aske, of what figure then shoulde it be?
A14095If you speake of the creatures freedome unto good, how is it changed?
A14095In a word, is it created purity and holinesse which is the object of the will of God you speake of, or increated?
A14095In his word something is profered, but what is that?
A14095In respect of his power conteyning them, as whither shall I goe from thy Spirite, or whither shall I slee from thy presence?
A14095In the next place you inquire, wherunto you shall liken him?
A14095In the ninth of Iohn wee read of one that was borne blinde, is it not just with God to deale with any one so as hee dealt with him?
A14095In the second we are commanded to worship him according to his word; hath God a care to worship himselfe according to his word?
A14095In time many things before possible are brought forth into act: what is mine understanding the better for this, or my readers either?
A14095In what sence is this delivered?
A14095Is Ephraim my deare sonne, or pleasant childe?
A14095Is Iudas saved thinke you or shall any reprobate be saved and not damned rather?
A14095Is Nothinge, or the negation of all thinges, to be accoumpted somethinge though imperfect?
A14095Is a revolution, a motion throughout the world?
A14095Is all mankinde more then all men?
A14095Is an instant of time fitt to conteyne 24 houres?
A14095Is grace the proportionate end of the state of sinne?
A14095Is he not the wisedome of the Father, and what difference betweene the wisedome of God, and the understanding of himselfe?
A14095Is he without limits in number?
A14095Is he without limits in quantitio, and so infinite therin?
A14095Is it a gracious current, or a glorious current?
A14095Is it a moment only, or no?
A14095Is it any such as bindes God to the willing of any outward thing?
A14095Is it because they are sinners?
A14095Is it by the law revealed in his word, or by the law of nature?
A14095Is it eyther a resolution to take vengeance, or the execution of vengeance it selfe?
A14095Is it fitt to maynteyne that God mooves from place to place?
A14095Is it marva ● le if God infatuate them?
A14095Is it not God that gives the increase also?
A14095Is it not God that worketh in us both the will and the deede?
A14095Is it not because it doth manifestly discover the errour of your conceit?
A14095Is it not by the will of God appoynted that all must dye?
A14095Is it not in Gods power to give faith, to give repentance?
A14095Is it not satisfaction sufficient to consider, that they are different kindes of things, and therfore no merveyle if they have different properties?
A14095Is it not to love him above all things?
A14095Is it not true of us all, that in God we live and moove& have our beinge?
A14095Is it possible that God can take delight in that which never was, nor is, not ever shall be?
A14095Is it possible that by making an everlasting decree, Gods libertie of making an everlasting decree shall be restrained?
A14095Is not Gods word sure enough without an oath?
A14095Is not the latter, and that both by the light of nature, and by the light of grace?
A14095Is not the wisedome of God observable in this?
A14095Is not theyr being also a continuall draught or receit of being from the inexhaustible fountayne of life, as well as the being of things generable?
A14095Is not this a faite way to Atheisme?
A14095Is not this an excellent observation, thinck you?
A14095Is not this good divinity, and very comfortable divinity?
A14095Is not this issue of your discourse very grave and Theologicall?
A14095Is the being of a body of a man, of a beast in God formally?
A14095Is the sentence any whit of greater authority because it is spoken of him that is wisest of all, and can neither deceive nor be deceived?
A14095Is there any lovelinesse in them in the state of their corruption, and not rather unlovelinesse throughout?
A14095Is this it you are to prove, that God wils the salvation of all Christians?
A14095Is this naturall?
A14095Is time indifferent to beginne backwards or forwards?
A14095Israel might have truely said, Was there ever any love like unto this love wherewith the Lord embraced mee?
A14095It is a very strange speech; for was not the man Pharaoh the object of Gods decree?
A14095It is manifestly spoken of the house of Israel, concerning whom the Lord asketh this question, Why will yee die yee house of Israel?
A14095It is not so with God, who doeth what hee will in heaven, and amongst the inhabitants of the earth, and no man can say unto him, What dost thou?
A14095It is true, Every generation hath his cause: therfore all generations have causes; But what causes?
A14095It is true, God is, where any thing is, but howe?
A14095Lastly, doe you knowe any that maynteyne any such Tenet( eyther in opposition to Arminius, or otherwise) which here you obtrude upon your opposites?
A14095Looke we upon the decrees of men the wisest of men, were they ever knowne to decree that a thing may be done?
A14095May I not justly aske, and that with admiration, Quid dignum tanto tulit hic promissor hiatu?
A14095May you not as well say, that the essence of God made the Heavens?
A14095Myne heart is turned within me,& c. Gods anger is seene and felt by the effects of it, but to whom?
A14095Nam si aliquid ab ipso infinito intellectu non posset intelligi, à quo alio posset?
A14095Nay how is he not bound to pardon all sinne, of all men, if so be Christ hath made satisfaction for the sinnes of all?
A14095Nay why shoulde any man expect a reason why different kindes of thinges have different qualities?
A14095Nay, hath he not more knowledg of evil then of good, at least as touching the compassing of it?
A14095Nay, how will you make it good in man?
A14095Nay, is it not found to be practised in the course of his providence?
A14095Nay, what thinke you?
A14095Nay, when Gods children are converted, doe they not too often abandon the waies of peace, and wilfully neglect saving health?
A14095Not whether all these thinges are in God, but whether all these are drawne to an unitie in God, without all pluralitie?
A14095Now I demand whether this free abstinence from some evills, be of grace or no?
A14095Now I pray what is this love you speake of, and what manner of attraction is it, and wherin doth it consist?
A14095Now I pray, as bad as the Sodomites were, yet were they not lesse evill then they might be?
A14095Now as touching goodnesse actually existent in God himselfe, doth that depend meerly upon the will of God, or at all upon the will of God?
A14095Now consider ingenuously, did Christ die to this end, that the grace of faith and repentance should bee bestowed absolutely or conditionally?
A14095Now consider wee the damnation of wicked men not yet departed this life; hath God decreed it, or no?
A14095Now consider, are not faith and repentance the gifts of God?
A14095Now hath God any parts to be thus contracted and united, that so his vigour might be greater?
A14095Now if God inspire us with one part of conformity to Gods will, why not also with another?
A14095Now if it hathe succession, how is it possible, but that it should be divisible into parts succeeding one another?
A14095Now if they be all one why doe you not propose them after one manner?
A14095Now in what congruitie can the will of any be said to wrest it selfe?
A14095Now is this common unto all, as you make Gods fatherhood common unto all?
A14095Now is this strange in a silly man to know what hee doth, or what he can doe?
A14095Now saythe he I demaunde, in what subject this possibilitie was?
A14095Now to proceed; you aske, Who would not be willing to be saved, if he were fully perswaded that God did will his salvation in particular?
A14095Now what Wise man will acknowledge this discourse to be evident?
A14095Now what mixture of necessity with contingency did God affect in this?
A14095Now what possibility doe you meane?
A14095Now what, I pray you, is this effect which you call love?
A14095Now where was ever such a disposition to be found?
A14095Now will it not followe herehence, that it is absolutely necessary, that God should not exist at all, and that by reason of his infinity?
A14095Now, I pray you, of those that take this course who ever sayd that the events decreed by God were of absolute necessitie?
A14095Now, are these the perfections, wherein God, as you say, is holy and just?
A14095Nowe howe is it possible, that that which is more p ● rfect then all others, shoulde not have beinge?
A14095O, but you will have this imperfection taken away, but then I say, if the suspension be taken away, how shall it be in suspense, which you suppose?
A14095Of all Devils it is as true, that God of nothing made them angels; shall I herehence inferre, therefore he will not the death of any devill?
A14095Old Prophet Ma ● achy dost thou heare this, that hast instructed us this to be the voice of God, I the Lord am not changed?
A14095Or amongst the Protestants, was the number of Calvinists more, then of Lutherans?
A14095Or are the reprobates at any time brought by God unto repentance?
A14095Or are they correspondent consequents to our antecedent actions the last yeare?
A14095Or are you to seeke in the solution of a fallacy?
A14095Or because God causeth the children to be put to death sometime for the sinne of the father, shall we do so too?
A14095Or doe you meane this of the possibility of Absolons sinning as he did?
A14095Or how can that motion be coumpted indivisible, which hathe parts successively infinite as your selfe professe in the sentence immediately before?
A14095Or if God should for a while suspend his decrees, and not make them with the first, how is it possible they could be everlasting?
A14095Or if it bee not lawfull for God to break his oath, dare you say it is lawfull for him to breake his word?
A14095Or were you converted at the first, or second, or at the third sermon that you heard?
A14095Or why that which is vigourous in heate, hathe not the propertie of that which is vigorous in colde, or in any other disparate qualitie?
A14095Philosophers had a love of vertue, but can you shew they had any love of God?
A14095Quid enim mundanis regibus cum praesepibus?
A14095Quis porro tam impie desipiat ut dicat Deum malas hominum voluntates quas voluerit, quando voluerit, ubi voluerit, in bonum non posse convertere?
A14095Remember I pray, God is in the World and in every part of it but how?
A14095Secondly, what if the limits be not seene, what I say is that to the purpose?
A14095Secondly, what meane you by the change of this freedome of the creature?
A14095Secondly, what meane you to qualifie your assertion, by saying In most humane acts: as if you durst not avouch it of all?
A14095Secondly, where were your logicall wits, when you said this was an universall negative, I will not the death of a sinner?
A14095Secondly, you will have us imagine God to be capable of momentany motion, or revolution throughout the World?
A14095Section to maintayne that it is a point of high perfection for God, to reserve his libertie, and what libertie is this but of decreeing?
A14095Seeing the power of every creature is to be ordered by his will without fettering of it?
A14095Shall we say God did inevitably decree the obliquity of Iewish blasphemy?
A14095Should not so poena be prior culpa?
A14095So likewise I desire to know what end God did forecast of Paul the Apostle in his creation?
A14095So that the center of the earth will not serve your turne; will you then runne to the center of vacuum or of the space imagined to contayne the earth?
A14095So then the attractions of Gods infinite love are the causa sine qua non, but what is the cause, qua posita ponitur effectus?
A14095Some will say, then how could he sinne?
A14095Spectatum admissi risum teneatis amici?
