A67750 | As how many have I drawn to be Drunkard ●? |
A67750 | But how have I requited this so great, so superlative a mercy? |
A67750 | But is there any hope for one so wicked as I? |

A19906 | * Gods Properties, and Attributes are one, and why? |
A19906 | But, hee''s ne''re mou''d; and so can neuer change: For what should moue him in whom all do moue? |
A19906 | Can perfect goodnesse, perfect ill fulfill? |
A19906 | Could He resolue before he gaue the VVound with his owne Paines( past Paines) to heale the Sicke, when with more ease he might haue keptthem sound? |
A19906 | For, Kings are( worse then Nothing) Vermins meat: Then, what are they compar''d with Worth compleat? |
A19906 | He is most perfect; but, he were not so If he were Passiue; which, imperfect is: Then is he simply Actiue? |
A19906 | Hee''s true of promise, sith he can not change; Then, why should sorrowing- Synners feare to dye? |
A19906 | I st Riches? |
A19906 | I st''Fairenes? |
A19906 | I st''strength, or Vallor? |
A19906 | Ist''t health of Body which thou dost desire? |
A19906 | O Synne,[ damn''d Nothing) that dost all things dam''n Which thou dost touch) where lies thy mightinesse? |
A19906 | Or Glory i st? |
A19906 | Then hee s selfe- FORMOSITY: To see whose face is high''st FELICITY: I''st Pleasures? |
A19906 | Then was he no where? |
A19906 | Then, if his Will and Povv''r vnequall be How shall we equall make his Properties? |
A19906 | These, false to God, can ne''re be true to Men: If false to him, that is as Good, as GREAT, How can they trusty be to Nothing, then? |
A19906 | VVhat blessednesse is then in Regall state, That, as accurst, such cursed Things attend? |
A19906 | WHat wit hath Man to leaue that Wealth behind Which he might carry hence when hence he goes? |
A19906 | Yet some may vrge, what truth can be of Those That ner''e shall be? |
A19906 | simply? |
A19906 | what life ought mortall Men to lead That leads to endlesse blisse, or misery? |
A19906 | yet, why? |
A61415 | And why should it not? |
A61415 | For this would be to deceive You after the manner of the False Prophets of old? |
A61415 | How few desire in earnest to avoid Temptation? |
A61415 | LET us examine our ways, and consider impartially, What the Religion of most Men is? |
A61415 | Nay, who almost is there, that takes not the Devil''s Office out of his Hand, and is not himself a Tempter both to himself and others? |
A61415 | That his Blessed Will should be universally Obeyed? |
A61415 | That his Kingdom should be advanced and inlarged? |
A61415 | Who shews by his forsaking sin that he desires so much as he should do the forgiveness of it? |
A61415 | for example; How few of our Ladies and Gentlewomen, do or will understand, that a Voluptuous Life, is Damnable and prohibited to them? |
A44686 | And if God concur to the substrate matter of it as good, must he not necessarily concur to the substrate matter as sinful? |
A44686 | And if he had designed to serve any common good end, in this undertaking of his, why did he not attempt to reconcile them himself? |
A44686 | And what shall be infer''d? |
A44686 | And why might not my own words be allowed to speak my own sense? |
A44686 | Are all for Durandus''s way that are against a predeterminative influence to wicked actions? |
A44686 | But that his understanding and eyes, must then have conspired to tell him, that the sense would have been qite another? |
A44686 | But why must an impatiency of this dissent break out into so vindictive an hostility? |
A44686 | By what rule of reasoning was he obliged to do so? |
A44686 | For is not the substrate matter of the act, both as good and sinful the same? |
A44686 | How could you be serious in the Proposal of this qestion? |
A44686 | However if mine were a bad opinion, why was it not as confutable without the mention of Durandus? |
A44686 | I again say, Was it impossible to God to make such a creature that can, in this case, act or not act? |
A44686 | If he do, himself, think them to be all one, what warrant is that to him to give the same for my sense? |
A44686 | If to actions that are good qoad substantiam, therefore to such as are in the substance of them evil? |
A44686 | If you therefore ask me, Why I should not admit this conseqence? |
A44686 | Is there any action so sinful that hath not some natural good as the substrate matter thereof? |
A44686 | Of what? |
A44686 | That therefore God must by a determinative influence produce every such action whatsoever reason there be against it? |
A44686 | What? |
A44686 | Whether there be any action of Man on earth so good, which hath not some mixture of Sin in it? |
A44686 | and then ruin men for the actions you induc''t them to? |
A44686 | because to Praier, therefore to Cursing and Swearing? |
A42490 | & c. and How shall I give you over to be as Admah and Zeboim? |
A42490 | He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do Iustice, to love Mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? |
A42490 | Here we are to enquire as Pilat did of truth, What is Iustice? |
A42490 | If you inquire Cui bono? |
A42490 | My answer( then) to the Question, What Justice is? |
A42490 | That which is according to law; What is lawful? |
A42490 | That which is rational; What is rational? |
A42490 | The Platonists answer well to this({ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}) what is just? |
A42490 | Why doth the whole land cry out of burthens and bloodshed, of its oppressors and exactors, of its endless troubles and terrors? |
A42490 | Yet will they pretend, What will God have more? |
A42490 | how shall I make thee as Sodom and Gomorah? |
A42490 | that which is diuine; what is Divine? |
A42490 | what more amiable than the modest Emrald of Humility? |
A42490 | what more beautiful than the gentle Saphire of Mercy? |
A42490 | what their reward shall be? |
A42490 | why doth he yet complain? |
A54029 | 1. Who is the Worshipper, the acceptable Worshipper in the sight of God? |
A54029 | And where did they offer their Sacrifices? |
A54029 | Did they offer them in the old Jerusalem or at Samaria, or the Mountain where the Fathers Worshipped? |
A54029 | Hath it relation to any outward place? |
A54029 | How can the Spirit of the World but still turn against such, and Hate and Persecute them? |
A54029 | How doth God carry on his work in the converted Soul? |

A54029 | How long shall it be thus? |
A54029 | In what Condition is the Conscience, before God works upon it? |
A54029 | Is a man then to expect such a thing as the Leadings of God''s Spirit in his Conscience? |
A54029 | Is only the tender Conscience then, fit to be wrought upon by God? |
A54029 | Is there such a day to be? |
A54029 | Now that is the thing to be enquired into, What this capacity is, and who are the persons that are found in this capacity? |
A54029 | Or is it in the building, which God hath reared up in my heart by his Spirit? |
A54029 | Search the Scriptures: Were not they come to the new Jerusalem? |
A54029 | VVHat is the way of Conversion? |
A54029 | Was this the Worship of the former Christians, in the Apostles dayes? |
A54029 | What doth God make it, in his working upon it? |
A54029 | What is it that hardens the Conscience? |
A54029 | What is most necessary for a man to be vigilant in, that desires to have the work of Conversion go on in his heart? |
A54029 | What is the Worship, or what are the Sacrifices, which the true Worshippers offer up to God, in this holy place? |
A54029 | What is the season of offering up these Gifts? |
A54029 | What stains the Conscience? |
A54029 | When is a man Converted? |
A54029 | When shall this be? |
A54029 | Where doth my soul offer its private Worship to God? |

A54029 | Who is it that preserves the Conscience tender? |
A42475 | 25. when we are molested or oppressed in any kind, by sin, temptation, weakness, darkness, dejection, diffidence, persecution, or desertion? |
A42475 | After this, how oft was the little flock of Gods Church, as a speckled Bird in the Wilderness, surrounded with Enemies, as a Lilly among Thorns? |
A42475 | And why the Lord in his providence permits it to come to come to such lapses, low ebbs and distresses? |
A42475 | How neglected? |
A42475 | How were we planted, and watered and weeded, and fenced, and fortified, and loaded with the choisest blessings of heaven and earth? |
A42475 | It will be demanded, why I add not by fighting? |
A42475 | Question is, What may be that cause of God, for which he thus pleads in wrath against us in England? |
A42475 | The Second Question you may make to me is, What is this Cause of God, which we are now to plead in England? |
A42475 | What could the Lord have done more for us then he did, and what could we have done less for his cause than we have done, or more against it? |
A42475 | What vast sums have been expended to make us miserable? |
A42475 | Where are his prophesies, what he would do for the good in mercy, and against the wicked in justice? |
A42475 | and shall we ▪ be as Gallio in Gods cause, or as Nabal to Davids, not caring or concerned? |
A42475 | and so their action ▪ s ▪ by a superfluity of self conceit, passion, pride, arrogancy, envy, desire of revenge, and the like enormous distempers? |
A42475 | how despised were these by many wanton Christians? |
A42475 | how hateful have these Michajahs been to those that loved to be flattered in sin? |
A42475 | how have many gnashed their teeth against such Stephens as have sowed no pillows under their elbows? |
A42475 | how prophaned? |
A42475 | or what is there left for us to do? |
A42475 | then answer is short, as that of David to his brother Eliab, Is there not ● Cause? |
A66381 | Again, where do they find a Command for Sitting at the Lord''s Supper, or so much as an Example? |
A66381 | And how is that but by promoting Love, Peace, and Order, and taking Care to Preserve it? |
A66381 | And if this be our danger, and Union as necessary as desirable, shall we yet make the breach wider, or irreparable by an obstinate contention? |
A66381 | And where may we expect to find them better determined than in his Word, which is sufficient to all the ends it was writ for? |
A66381 | How are we to determine our selves in the use of Indifferent things with respect to the Worship of God? |
A66381 | I shall consider, How we may know what things are Indifferent in the Worship of God? |
A66381 | Or, Whether there be any thing Indifferent in the Worship of God? |
A66381 | This our Saviour condemn''d in the Pharisees, Why do ye Transgress the Command of God by your tradition? |
A66381 | Where again do they find it required that an Oath is to be taken by laying the Hand on the Gospel and Kissing the Book? |
A66381 | Whether a restraint of our Liberty in the use of such Indifferent things be a violation of it? |
A66381 | Whether a restraint of our liberty in the use of such indifferent things be a violation of it? |
A66381 | Whether a restraint of our liberty in the use of such indifferent things be a violation of it? |
A66381 | Whether it be Lawful to separate from a Church upon the Account of promiscuous Congregations, and Mixt Communions? |
A66381 | Whether things Indifferent, though not Prescribed, may be Lawfully used in Divine Worship? |
A66381 | Whether things indifferent used in divine worship( or, whether there be any things indifferent in the worship of God?) |
A66381 | Whether things indifferent used in divine worship( or, whether there be any things indifferent in the worship of God?) |
A66381 | Whether things not prescribed in the Word of God, may be Lawfully used in Divine Worship? |
A66381 | [ or, Whether there be any things Indifferent in the Worship of God?] |
A66381 | and how shall we be resolved in the case, but by considering what the Law injoyns or forbids in it? |
A57648 | He that left Heaven to suffer death for me, will he after death shut Heaven against me? |
A57648 | Lord, if the righteous shall scarcely be saved, where shall sinners appeare? |
A57648 | Lord, if thou shouldest leave my Will to it self in this corrupted estate I now am in, what fruit can it produce but sowre grapes, and wilde olives? |
A57648 | Lord, what is possibilitie without will, and nature without grace? |
A57648 | Lord, what should become of me, and of all the other wretched sonnes of Adam, if it were as necessarie for thee to punish, as it is to be just? |

A57648 | O my God, who is able to comprehend the height, depth, breadth, and length of thy unspeakable mercy? |
A57648 | Shall I feare to be judged by a brother; or appear before a Saviour? |
A57648 | Shall the head be wounded with thornes, and the members sleep in beds of Roses? |
A57648 | What is more destructive of thy feature in me then sin? |
A57648 | What is more offensive to thy nature then sin? |
A57648 | Who but Goodnesse it selfe would ordaine the salvation of a sinner, and who but Wisdome it self would order the prevarications of a sinner? |
A57648 | Why will you die, O house of Israel? |
A57648 | how loath to overthrow the Jewes, though gracelesse? |
A57648 | how loath was he to destroy his Vineyard, though grapelesse? |
A57648 | if thou forgivest all, where is thy justice and equitie? |
A96652 | 19. we reade that they were stoned as malefactors, was not Christ counted a Prophet? |
A96652 | 32. he that spared not his owne Son but gave him to death for us, shall he not with him give us all things else that are necessary? |
A96652 | Againe, art thou to come unto the Temple of the Lord? |
A96652 | And I pray see if he bee not a great loser that gaines a world and loses his Soule? |
A96652 | And wilt thou be so carelesse of my honour, and of thy owne salvation? |
A96652 | Art thou to come unto the Lord by Prayer? |
A96652 | Art thou to receive the Sacrament of the Lords Supper? |
A96652 | But then as the Souldiers said to John the Baptist, Master what shall wee doe? |
A96652 | But who are you? |
A96652 | First, how uncertaine is honour? |
A96652 | For what face is there, bee it never so beautifull in youth, but if it live long it will be plowed with the furrows of old age? |
A96652 | For what shall it profit a man if he win the whole world, and lose his owne soule? |
A96652 | Have I honored thee so much? |
A96652 | Have we such great cause to seeke diligently after the salvation of our soules? |
A96652 | In a word, art thou a beleever, and hast embraced the Faith of Christ? |
A96652 | Is it not lawfull to seeke at all after the things of this life? |
A96652 | Now if one of these make an enemy terrible, how terrible will that enemy bee, in whom all these foure meete? |
A96652 | Now therefore, as when Monica( Austens mother) heard an excellent discourse of the joyes of heaven, sayd, Quid facio hic? |
A96652 | O for how little have I lost a kingdome? |
A96652 | Quid aliud est anima quam Deus hospitans in corpore humano? |
A96652 | Quid de te dicam? |
A96652 | So may I say covet or seeke the best counsell you can, and you can not find better then this in my text: For what counsell is like it? |
A96652 | What and thou my son? |
A96652 | What doe I heere on earth? |
A96652 | What is it that advances the calling of the Ministery above other callings but only this, that it tends to the good of man''s Soule? |
A96652 | What shall I say more? |
A96652 | or what recompence or exchange shall a man give for his soule? |
A96652 | so say I, what doe we heere, planting our affections on the things of this life? |
A96652 | what other thing is the Soule, but God lodging in the body? |
A96652 | what shall I say of thee? |
A20674 | 21. but for that frivolous question: What shall this man doe? |
A20674 | 38. or, hast thou entred into the treasures of snowe? |
A20674 | 5. v. 13. art thou for vs or for our aduersaries? |
A20674 | But alas, what is the highest pitch of mans science? |
A20674 | But contrariwise what arrogancy doth wholy possesse them? |
A20674 | But what can possibly keepe out malitious Schismaticks? |
A20674 | Come now to those attributes of his power, his will, and such like; what man is able possibly to reach them? |
A20674 | Concerning the Apostles time, what ardency of good will finde we there? |
A20674 | Concerning these externall rites what tumults haue beene raised? |
A20674 | How frowardly doe men still stand forth against the Church in termes point blanke? |
A20674 | How many now a daies frame their diuiner studies after this method? |
A20674 | How often see wee many here to suffer shipwrack, whilst they couet to goe farther then their ability or strength will permit them? |
A20674 | How respectlessely doe they thrust into the most hidden secrets? |
A20674 | How seriously diligent were the primitiue Fathers in declining such? |
A20674 | How watchfull to represse them? |
A20674 | If missing the center they pricke each part of the circle else? |
A20674 | Is there no such new stratagem? |
A20674 | Let me likewise demand; whose part take they? |
A20674 | Neither in this are the Arminians lesse to bee condemned: Who hath been his counsellour? |
A20674 | Or is our vnderstanding beyond the ancients? |
A20674 | This being so; sithence each where a concord is so requisite, but most in the Church, how fowly doe they trespasse that breake this bond? |
A20674 | To manifest which, least it might languish if conceal''d, how many signes of expression had they? |
A20674 | To that great and sacrilegious city of Ninive what doth he? |
A20674 | Who doth not streight acknowledge his dulnesse? |
A20674 | Whom among the sonnes of men did he choose for his assistant? |
A20674 | Yet what wonder is it if thus reciprocally they maintained charity? |
A20674 | deeper then hell what canst thou knowe? |
A20674 | is he able to satisfie himselfe in any triuiall obiect? |
A20674 | v. 2. t is said, who is able to open the booke? |
A20674 | who but the Lyon of the tribe of Iuda? |
A20674 | with what affection did they mutually imbrace? |
A20674 | with what sharpnesse deserue they to be handled who breed diuisions? |
A66687 | And is not God the Authour of that wrath? |
A66687 | And who can be offended at the poor for doing this? |
A66687 | And why do they all this? |
A66687 | And why so? |
A66687 | And why? |
A66687 | As 〈 ◊ 〉 is said, Is there any evil in the Citie, and the Lord hath not done it? |
A66687 | But 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? |
A66687 | But did not God send the Chaldeans and Sabeans to punish Job? |
A66687 | But if Christ and the Father be all one power and wisdome, why do you make a distinction, as if they were two? |
A66687 | But if you say? |
A66687 | But is not hell the execution of Justice? |
A66687 | But is not this the old rule, He that sheds man ● bloud by man shall his bloud be shed? |
A66687 | But the second Adam is called, His wel- beloved Son; the Son of his delight, the Son bringing honour and peace; Why? |
A66687 | But what if a man break that law of Righteousnes, as many do under this fleshly government which is yet extant? |
A66687 | But 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? |
A66687 | But what is it for a man to live in the kingdom of hell, devil or darknesse? |
A66687 | But why hath not the Lord done this all this time that is past? |
A66687 | Did the light of Reason make the earth for some men to ingrosse up into bags and barns, that others might be opprest with poverty? |
A66687 | Doth not their shame almost appear to all men? |
A66687 | I but how comes the fire and water to break forth to destroy at some times more then another? |
A66687 | I but one man kils another by wars, and such like, Is not this the wrath of God upon them? |
A66687 | I can not believe such things till I see them? |
A66687 | If any do steal, what wil they do with it? |
A66687 | If it be thus, then saith the scoffer, mens wives shall be common too? |
A66687 | None shal buy or sel, and al the while that every one shal have meat, and drink, and cloaths, what need have they to steal? |
A66687 | Thomas Dydimus, that is, the unbelief of your hearts cries out, When will these things be? |
A66687 | WHat do you mean by the kingdom devil or flesh? |
A66687 | Was it the humane flesh? |
A66687 | What do you mean by divine, and divine power? |
A66687 | What is it for a man to live in the kingdom of heaven? |
A66687 | What is the kingdom of Heaven, or of Christ? |
A66687 | What was that seed of Abraham, that is called the blessing? |
A66687 | Who was it that put the Son of man to death? |
A66687 | Who was it that the god Devil did afflict? |
A66687 | not in our time? |
A66687 | or a man may have as many wives as he please? |
A66687 | or the power of darkness, that ruled in flesh? |
A30637 | A Sign of the Covenant then, there must be in the time of the Seed; Else, how shall the Seed keep it? |
A30637 | And is this an absurdity? |
A30637 | And who shall be believed? |
A30637 | Besides, who will say the Females were Excluded the Passover? |
A30637 | But shall the Seed indeed be within the promise and blessing, and not under the Duty and Obligation? |
A30637 | But what if the Argument were New, and all as New as the Method? |
A30637 | But what if they were here? |
A30637 | For Mark it, shall the Blessing descend, and not the Proper Duty of that Blessing? |
A30637 | How else was it that his Faith was Accounted unto him for Righteousness? |
A30637 | I ask him; was not the Reward given to Abraham, for his Believing? |
A30637 | I say there, that Signing is the Proper Duty of the Covenant; what is This to That? |
A30637 | Implying, that they may have been, and are, by some, Observed, though, Happily, not by every Body: And who will say they were? |
A30637 | Is not this an honest Disputant, or rather a cunning sophister? |
A30637 | Is not to keep the Covenant, as much a Duty Bound upon the Seed, as the Promise, a Blessing made to it? |
A30637 | That Canaan was the Reward of Abraham''s Faith, who but such a Sophister, dares soberly to Deny it? |
A30637 | What in all This is to the Business in hand? |
A30637 | What then? |
A30637 | Would 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? |
A30637 | and that Secondarily, which is not so Primarily? |
A30637 | are not Christ and Believers considered as one Party?) |
A30637 | are they Excluded any where? |
A30637 | in that which here himself calls but a Conference; the softest word in the world? |
A30637 | or Abuse put upon him? |
A30637 | or what Application of it can be made to either Proposition? |
A30637 | the least of any Insulting over him? |
A30637 | thou Shalt keep my Covenant therefore, thou and thy Seed? |
A30637 | verse? |
A30637 | were they not of the Congregation of the Lord, and Members of the Families, or Houses, in which the Passover was Eaten, and by which? |
A30637 | why had he not Argued it out? |
A02058 | Admit the Planets could hurt vs: can they heale vs, when they haue hurt vs? |
A02058 | And haue not we them amongst vs at this day, that hold fasting to be superstitiō? |
A02058 | And 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? |
A02058 | And what are we to iudge of such? |
A02058 | But to whom should he pray in his afflictions? |
A02058 | But was he heard? |
A02058 | But when did our Sauiour Christ rest, sayth Barnard? |
A02058 | But you will say vnto me, Doe you condemne all that dye suddenly? |
A02058 | Can Iosias be sayd to dye of a sudden death? |
A02058 | Oh ye vnmercifull men of the world, haue you none to oppresse but y e poore workman? |
A02058 | Quid meruere boues, animal sine fraude? |
A02058 | Therefore the Prophet Ieremy demaunds this Question of these that do so curiously obserue the rules of Nature, Can the heauens giue showres? |
A02058 | What a madnes is this to forget the iudgement wherewith she was destroyed, and to practise her sinnes, which was the cause shée was destroyed? |
A02058 | What 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? |
A02058 | What haue these poore sillie creatures deserued, that they should bée punished? |
A02058 | What say you to good King Iosias, so much lamented by Ieremy, and commended by the testimony of Gods spirit in the Scriptures? |
A02058 | What say you to many good men, some drownd at sea? |
A02058 | What shall I say to the workemasters of our time? |
A02058 | What was the cause that Aegisthus became an Adulterer? |
A02058 | Whereupon the Lord expostulates the matter with his people, and demaunds of them, What they had to doe to grinde the faces of the poore? |
A02058 | can they helpe vs, when they haue crost vs? |
A02058 | can they relieue vs, when they haue plagued vs? |
A02058 | do you affirme, that sudden death to all these is a spiritual iudgement? |
A02058 | haue you not read, Thou shalt not muzzell the mouth of the Oxe that treadeth out of the corne? |
A02058 | is it not thou, O Lord our God, saith the Prophet? |
A02058 | nay, destroyed, hauing neuer offended? |
A02058 | or doe you thinke that sudden death is alwayes a spirituall iudgement? |
A02058 | some going well to bed, and found dead in their beds? |
A02058 | some kild in fight? |
A02058 | to Fate& Destiny? |
A02058 | to Fortune and Chance? |
A02058 | to the Starres and Planets? |
A02058 | — quis talia fando temperet a lachrymis? |
A09984 | And what is the nature and property, the quality and condition of it? |
A09984 | But I answer, is it so? |
A09984 | But I answer, what dost thou tell him of that? |
A09984 | But let me aske thee one question; dost thou know what it is to bee so accursed? |
A09984 | But thou wilt say, I have often offended him, will he then yet heare me, or accept of my love for all that? |
A09984 | But thou wilt say, durus est hic sermo, this is an hard saying, how shall I be able to doe this? |
A09984 | But thou wilt say, how doth prayer beget love? |
A09984 | But thou wilt say, how shall I know that? |
A09984 | But 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? |
A09984 | But thou wilt say, why? |
A09984 | But what is that to thee? |
A09984 | But you will say, we are not able to fulfill the law of our selves; and how then shall we doe it? |
A09984 | But( thou wilt say againe yet further) what, must wee love nothing else but him then? |
A09984 | But( thou wilt say) how shall I come to be acquainted with God? |
A09984 | But( thou wilt say) will God then be content with any love? |
A09984 | Dost thou so? |
A09984 | Fourthly, wee shall receive much comfort by loving the Lord: now what is that keepes us from loving of him but our pleasures? |
A09984 | How? |
A09984 | I answer, no truely that he will not neither; what then? |
A09984 | Is it not so? |
A09984 | Now doe but thinke how good a thing it is to love one that is but like thee? |
A09984 | Oh, but how shall I know that? |
A09984 | Thirdly, dost thou love his appearing at the last day, canst thou say in the uprightnesse of thy soule, come Lord Iesus, come quickly? |
A09984 | Thou wilt say, these are indeede good motives to make us to love him, but how shall I come by this love? |
A09984 | What if thou be, yet he is long suffering, so that he will not cast thee off, if so be thou wilt cleave to him? |
A09984 | What''s that? |
A09984 | canst thou deny him such a small thing as that is? |
A09984 | dost thou thinke it long first? |
A09984 | hast thou no such occasions? |
A09984 | if 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? |
A09984 | is 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? |
A09984 | is this such a loadstone of love? |
A09984 | now 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*? |
A09984 | or by what meanes shall I get this love into my heart? |
A09984 | so 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? |
A09984 | why? |
A47631 | 12 9. doth he suffer us to be overcome in temptation? |
A47631 | But how shall this excellent promise of GOD be effected? |
A47631 | Doe not my words doe good to him that walketh uprightly? |
A47631 | Doth the Lord permit us to temptation? |
A47631 | Hath GOD promised to pardon our sinnes? |
A47631 | Hath he promised us a Crowne and Kingdome? |
A47631 | He 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? |
A47631 | He 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? |
A47631 | He that gave us CHRIST, how shall he not with him give us all things also? |
A47631 | He that hath performed the promise concerning CHRIST, wherein shall he faile? |
A47631 | How doth he trust in GOD for a Kingdome, that will not trust him for a crust of bread? |
A47631 | How sweet are thy promises unto my mouth? |
A47631 | If I pray for the salvation of another, I have no promise, how then can I pray in faith? |
A47631 | If any should demand, cui bono, for what use may such a Treatise serve, or what profit can redoūd to Christiās by it? |
A47631 | If we have an herbe in our garden that would ease our griefe, and we know it not, what are we the nearer? |
A47631 | Is it not a part of thy Covenant? |
A47631 | Is not the life more then meate, and the body then raiment? |
A47631 | It is a maine pollicie of the Divell, to lay siege, to the truth of GODS Word, Yea hath GOD, said? |
A47631 | Seest thou a man diligent in his businesse? |
A47631 | So if we know not the Promises, though they be in the booke, what are we the better? |
A47631 | The wicked hope he will change, where is the promise of his comming? |
A47631 | Therefore wee should imitate, the Athenians, shall I say? |
A47631 | They shall looke unto him, and 〈 ◊ 〉 to him, and their faces shall not be ashamed: What made them so confident in GODS mercies? |
A47631 | We should say with David, What am I, or what is my fathers house, that I should be raised hitherto? |
A47631 | Wee may retort this argument upon themselves: for where is it said to any by name, Sanctifie the Sabbath, sweare not? |
A47631 | What can be more Absolute? |
A47631 | What shall separate us from the love of CHRIST? |
A47631 | Where is it said by name( say they) to any man; Thou Peter or Iohn shalt be saved? |
A47631 | Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windowes? |
A47631 | Who shall lay any thing to the charge of GODS Elect? |
A47631 | Who shall lay any thing to the charge of GODS elect? |
A47631 | Why truth to Jacob and mercy to Abraham? |
A47631 | an 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? |
A47631 | and shall we therefore provoke and grieve him every day more and more by our sinnes? |
A47631 | and yet the commandements belong to us, why not then the Promises, though not spoken to us by name? |
A47631 | have wee a multitude and magnitude of sinnes? |
A47631 | shall we thus requite the bounty, mercy, love and goodnesse of GOD? |
A47631 | who would spend to try a liberall friend? |
A60590 | But how are these men assured, that there is no future state? |
A60590 | But is not this a most irrational and senseless ground of their infidelity? |
A60590 | But what do they mean by nature? |
A60590 | But who does not deride and condemn such scepticism as very silly and irrational? |
A60590 | Can that, which has no sense, or understanding, or life, or skill, be the author of such beings, which are endowed with all? |
A60590 | Can 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? |
A60590 | Can the united strength of other creatures? |
A60590 | Do they mean a principle of things, void of life and understanding? |
A60590 | Does not the justice of God make it necessary, that there be a distribution of rewards and punishments hereafter, according as every one deserves? |
A60590 | For 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? |
A60590 | For what shall hinder? |
A60590 | For who would not be happy for ever, if he either might or could? |
A60590 | For with what pretense can any one doubt or disbelieve their fulfilling, who reflects upon God''s truth and power? |
A60590 | How comes it to confer that upon others, which it has not in it self? |
A60590 | Is not bloud- thirsty cruelty, for instance, a manifest breach of the law natural and divine? |
A60590 | Now to demand, why is there then no infinite effect of an infinite power? |
A60590 | This power then must be infinite: for what can limit or restrain it? |
A60590 | What can any one alledge to justifie or excuse his solly? |
A60590 | Who is not concerned for the sufferings of good men in all ages? |
A60590 | a Estne opus in vitâ negotiosum aliquod atque actuosum genus, quod non side praeeunte suscipiant, sumant, atque aggrediantur actores? |
A60590 | but can the stately, and curious, and regular frame of things flow from such a principle? |
A60590 | how pitiful and mean in comparison of the heavens? |
A60590 | what demonstration can these great Masters of reason, as they think themselves, whom nothing less will content and satisfie, bring to the contrary? |
A60590 | who can put a force upon him, or stop his procedures, when there is nothing equal and co- ordinate? |
A60590 | who in his right wits and calm thoughts would be content to be miserable to eternal ages? |
A60590 | who would make it his choice to be damned, if he might avoid it? |
A60590 | yet how many of them, who have been guilty of this barbarity, have left the world without any mark of the divine vengeance upon them? |
A12168 | Alas this poor life of ours, it is a life of necessities; how many things are needfull for our bodies? |
A12168 | Alas, where is the desire of one thing necessary all the while? |
A12168 | And this is not simply set out, but likewise with a holy insultation, The Lord is my light and salvation, whom shall I feare? |
A12168 | And what other place hath he such care to protect, and provide for as his house? |
A12168 | But can wee doe the will of God on earth as it is done in heaven? |
A12168 | But here it may be asked, why doth he say, One thing? |
A12168 | But to speake a little more of the object, why doth he say, One thing? |
A12168 | But what is that to this? |
A12168 | Can the hypocrite pray alway? |
A12168 | For how doth nature differ from Art? |
A12168 | For the obiect here propounded, what more desirable then the chiefe good? |
A12168 | For what end? |
A12168 | Hee saw God in his power, and then looking from God to the creature, alas, who was he? |
A12168 | Holy desires are kindled in the Soule from the love of God: for what saith hee here? |
A12168 | How shall I know whether my desire be strong enough, and ripe enough or no, to give me comfort? |
A12168 | I desire one thing; What is that? |
A12168 | If God be with us, who can be against us? |
A12168 | It was generally propounded before, One thing have I desired, and that will I seeke after, with all my might, and what is that? |
A12168 | Of whom doth hee desire it? |
A12168 | One thing have I desired, what was that? |
A12168 | Put case God doth not heare our request, that he doth not grant what we aske? |
A12168 | The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? |
A12168 | To dwell in the house of the Lord, what to doe? |
A12168 | Was there but one thing for holy David to make the object of his desire? |
A12168 | Well, but that that he prayed for, hee was assured of, and therefore what need hee pray for it? |
A12168 | What is his care? |
A12168 | What is the reason that God doth not presently accomplish our desires? |
A12168 | Would you know a comfortable note to distinguish an hypocrite from a true Christian? |
A12168 | and doth Gods glorious Kingdome of heaven come while wee are here in earth? |
A12168 | as Michaia, when he had seene God sitting upon his Throne, What was Achab to him, when he had seen God once? |
A12168 | for the place, where can it bee more desired, then in his house, where his presence is manifested? |
A12168 | how many things are needfull for the decencie of our condition? |
A12168 | how many things need we for our soules? |
A12168 | it is a life of necessities; how then doth hee say, One thing have I desired? |
A12168 | take it hence, Will the hypocrite pray alway? |
A12168 | the comfort of his wife and house,& c. Tush, what doe I regard these things? |
A12168 | these be things of this life? |
A12168 | to be rich and great in the World, and to bee revenged on my enemies? |
A12168 | was there but one thing needfull? |
A12168 | what better end to bee in that house, then to behold God in the beauty of holinesse? |
A12168 | what is the bent of thy soule? |
A12168 | what terme of happinesse better then for ever? |
A12168 | when a man is once converted and turned, wherein is his turning? |
A12168 | will not he regard their petitions; when an unrighteous Judge shall care for the importunity of a poore Widow? |
A50172 | 26. Who is on the Lords lide? |
A50172 | Again, What have been the Authors from whom we have been afflicted? |
A50172 | And Alas, have we not very much Injured the Indians? |
A50172 | And have not we also Followed the Indians? |
A50172 | And why have so many of our Brethren and Neighbours been made a prey to the most Savage Murderers in the world? |
A50172 | Are you so, or are you not? |
A50172 | But I pray, which of them American Cities, must New- England become Incorporate into? |
A50172 | But in Compliance with it, Let every man seriously now enquire of himself, What have I done? |
A50172 | But we are to enquire, What is implied in that presence of GOD, which we are to be solicitous about? |
A50172 | But, What is it for a people to be With God? |
A50172 | Do not I fill Heaven and Earth, saith the Lord? |
A50172 | Had we ever felt the sore grievances of an illegal& arbitrary Government? |
A50172 | Hear this, ye old men,; hath this been in your dayes? |
A50172 | How came this to pass? |
A50172 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
A50172 | If the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? |
A50172 | If the Lord had been with us, had all the wild Creatures that passed by this Vineyard, found such Opportunities to be plucking at it? |
A50172 | If you are not, what do you here in this Lower World, where you can find no more of your own Attainments? |
A50172 | Is God Holy? |
A50172 | Is God Merciful? |
A50172 | Is God Righteous? |
A50172 | Let no man say, I am a sorry Creature, of what account can my prayers be? |
A50172 | Methinks, t''were an harder Quaestion, Wherin should we not? |
A50172 | Our Fruits have been blasted;& were they not abused in the excesses of Sensuality? |
A50172 | Shall the Grandchildren of Moses turn Idolaters? |
A50172 | Shall we forget the Hope of our Fathers, or forsake our Fathers Friend? |
A50172 | T is a Summons given to the world in every Generation, Who is on the Lords side? |
A50172 | The Lord is on my side, I will not fear; what can man do unto me? |
A50172 | We may then defie, even the Gates of Hell it self, for, Cur metuat hominem homo in sinu Dei positus? |

A63049 | Are we drawn unto thee? |
A63049 | As 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? |

A30636 | But seeing nothing gives but what it has it self, must not he be Holy, Pure, and Righteous, that Formed man so? |

A44674 | And are your minds more delightfully taken up with the things of God than formerly? |
A44674 | And doth not this import enmity in an high degree? |
A44674 | And is it not strange you can not see this? |
A44674 | And is your enmity against God a juster, or more tolerable thing? |
A44674 | And what were they, of whom he says, by the Prophet? |
A44674 | And whence doth this proceed, but from enmity, an alienation of the mind from God? |
A44674 | Are you in mind and spirit more holy, spiritual and serious? |
A44674 | But it is most justly to be said, what profit is it to the Almighty that we call upon him? |
A44674 | But who may not now apprehend a necessity of being regenerate? |
A44674 | Can two walk together, unless they be agreed? |
A44674 | Can you deny that you have lived in great ignorance of God much of your time? |
A44674 | Can you deny you have minds capable of knowing God? |
A44674 | Do not these things together discover an enmity against God, and the ways of God? |
A44674 | Enquire, therefore, what change do you find in your minds? |
A44674 | God charges them, and doth he not know them? |
A44674 | Have you not in you a reflecting power? |
A44674 | How can we lie down in peace in an unreconciled state? |
A44674 | How few are there that say, give me Christ, or I am lost? |
A44674 | If you be God''s Enemy, can he be your Friend? |
A44674 | It would be profane to say, what profit is it to us to call upon the Almighty? |
A44674 | None can reconcile me to God but Christ? |
A44674 | Now consider, whether our disobedience to these two Precepts do not discover great enmity in our Hearts against God? |
A44674 | That the Gospel under which you have lived, hath had little effect upon you, to alter the temper of your Spirits towards him? |
A44674 | That the thoughts of him have been ungratefull, and very little welcome, or pleasant to you? |
A44674 | That you have had little converse with him, little trust, reverence, delight, or expectation plac''d on him as the object? |
A44674 | That you have not been wo nt to concern him in your affairs, to consult him, to desire his concurrence? |
A44674 | That you have not designed the pleasing, or obeying of him in the course of your conversation? |
A44674 | That you have not thought of approving your self to him in your designs and actions, but lived as without him in the world? |
A44674 | That you have usually been thoughtless and unmindfull of him in your ordinary course? |
A44674 | To refuse placing our Treasure, and our Hearts in Heaven, what doth this signify, but aversion, and a disaffected Heart? |
A44674 | What doth this signify, but obstinate, invincible enmity? |
A44674 | What is so near a man, as himself? |
A44674 | What need of such striving, but that there is a great enmity in the minds of People to be conquered and overcome? |
A44674 | What will become of the man that is not reconciled to God? |
A44674 | What will become of thee, if thou diest with such a disaffected mind Godward? |
A44674 | What, to refuse to pray, and pour out our Souls to him in secret? |
A44674 | When men will endure the greatest extremity, rather than apply themselves to God; what doth this resolve into, but enmity against God? |
A44674 | When therefore this is not done, whence is it, but from an enmity of mind? |
A44674 | Whence can this be, but from man''s aversion, and enmity of mind against God? |
A44674 | While the voice of the Gospel of Grace is calling upon you, Return and live; Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die? |
A44674 | Why are men at that distance from him, who is Goodness, and Grace, and Love it self? |
A44674 | Why else is he called, the heart- searching God? |
A44674 | Why is it? |
A44674 | Why is not Heaven every day in our thoughts? |
A44674 | Why not as well on God, as upon any of those vanities, about which they are commonly employ''d? |
A44674 | Why should not God rule over, and govern his own? |
A44674 | Why will we lose the pleasure of an heavenly life, and exchange it for earthly care, and trouble, or vanity, at the best? |
A44674 | Yet when their very Hearts are such an Hell of wickedness( as what is more hellish than enmity against God?) |
A44674 | and perceive a disaffection to God by all this in your selves? |
A44674 | or without knowing, whether we are reconciled, or not? |
A44674 | that your ignorance was voluntary, having such means of knowing him, as you have had? |
A44674 | what business will this hinder? |
A44674 | when a man goes about his ordinary affairs, will it do any hurt to take God with him? |
A47528 | Alas, 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? |
A47528 | And also what Divisions, Discord and Animosities are there among Professors? |
A47528 | Are such Laws made and executed, to check and restrain the cursed enormities of the ungodly? |
A47528 | But what will these men do in the day of Wrath? |
A47528 | Did not the Lord against whom they had sinned? |
A47528 | Doth God''s word confirm it to be a Truth? |
A47528 | Doth not my present Employment bring me in Food and Rayment, and ought not I therewith to be Content? |
A47528 | He spoiled Pharaoh, and the Egyptians, by an Army of Frogs, Locusts, Lice, Flies,& c. What wonders did he do with 300 Men? |
A47528 | He 〈 ◊ 〉 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? |
A47528 | How did he wrestle with God? |
A47528 | How doth it concern us to Acknowledge God, for Preservation and a Blessing in all things? |
A47528 | How lively are our Spirits, and active our Graces, when God vouchsafeth his Divine Influences, and quickens us in our Duties? |
A47528 | How 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? |
A47528 | I 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? |
A47528 | If God had not a perfect knowledge of all things, how could he govern the World? |
A47528 | Is it not for a deliverance from our Miseries, rather than from our Iniquities? |
A47528 | Is it not, because those two things have been, as it were, the Idols of England, or of Multitudes among us? |
A47528 | It should not be, What Air, or what Earthly Profit may I find there, where I am going? |
A47528 | Know assuredly, That none Teaches like God: What is Man''s teaching? |
A47528 | Moreover, what Errors and detestable Heresies do abound among us? |
A47528 | O what horrid Pride, Uncleanness, Oaths and Blasphemy, and all Prophaneness do we see and hear of every day? |
A47528 | O where is the Life and Power of Religion? |
A47528 | Shall I not run my self into Temptations by doing it? |
A47528 | Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do Right? |
A47528 | There is no Wisdom nor Understanding nor Counsel against the Lord: What Encouragement is here to seek to God? |
A47528 | Thirdly, How we should acknowledge God, or after what manner he found in this Duty? |
A47528 | Thus reason with thy Self; say, Shall I consult with Flesh and Blood, and gratifie my Corrupt part? |
A47528 | VVho gave Jacob to the Spoil, and Israel to the Robbers? |
A47528 | VVill it not offend God, or stumble my weak Brother? |
A47528 | What Heavenly Comfort do we meet with, or have we met with at one time more than at another? |
A47528 | What signifies a few formal Prayers, whilst men hold fast their sins? |
A47528 | What was that good? |
A47528 | When you fasted and mourned,& c. did you( saith the Lord) fast unto me? |
A47528 | Who shall say to him, What dost thou? |
A47528 | Will it turn to the Glory of God? |
A47528 | Will this remove make for the profit of my precious Soul? |
A47528 | Would they have God to Patronize their wickedness? |
A47528 | and what a famous Judge and Ruler did God make him to be? |
A47528 | but is the Gospel Preached there, in the Purity of it? |
A47528 | can I have communion with godly Christians there? |
A47528 | or, Bless such that God doth Curse? |
A47528 | or, Is it not rather for Corn, Wine, and Oyl, that we cry to God this day? |
A47528 | or, Will not my Spiritual Loss be more than my Earthly gain? |
A47528 | perhaps 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? |

A45500 | And indeed what does Religion teach you if it does not teach you this piece of morality? |
A45500 | And these things are good for others too; how advantagious and beneficial to the World are Justice and Mercy? |
A45500 | And what can more commend it to us to be the Book of our daily Converse and Meditation? |
A45500 | Be as just in your word, as true to your promise, as exact in your dealings as you would have others to be? |
A45500 | But on the contrary does not the whole of my proceedings with you testifie for me? |
A45500 | Did the Heathens of old, and do they still at this day know it and art thou a stranger to it? |
A45500 | He 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? |
A45500 | Hereupon they move the Prophet with this Question, Wherewithal shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God? |
A45500 | I shall close this with that sentence of the Scribe, Mark 12. Who having asked our Lord, Which is the first commandment of all? |
A45500 | If therefore the Question be in what way is the justice of God satisfied for sin? |
A45500 | Is it such a Fast that I have chosen? |
A45500 | Is it to how down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? |
A45500 | Is that good that is amiable and lovely? |
A45500 | Is that good that is pleasant and delightful? |
A45500 | Or is that good that is profitable? |
A45500 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A45500 | Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? |
A45500 | To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? |
A45500 | What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul? |
A45500 | What shall we do to avert them? |
A45500 | What then is the Fast that God has chosen? |
A45500 | What? |
A45500 | Whereas many say, Who will shew us good? |
A45500 | Who does not see what need there is of Fasting, of Prayer and Humbling our selves before the Lord? |
A45500 | and again, Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice? |

A30672 | And what success doth the Apost''l promise? |
A30672 | But in all that I have spoken to this too necessary purpose, how short am I falen of the requires of my Text? |
A30672 | But to Faith what could have be''n more incongruos? |

A30672 | Hath age withered it to a deformity equal to its youthful loveliness? |
A30672 | How beautiful are what? |
A30672 | How doth the Apost''l travel to bring forth an expression suitab''l? |
A30672 | How shall they preach except they be sent? |
A30672 | If they prevail not, then are they treated by the impenitent, as our Lord was by the Devils: What have we to do with thee? |
A30672 | Is it, thou shalt be frighted at thy danger, and confounded with thy guilt? |
A30672 | Is not Repentance the first step to Conversion? |
A30672 | Must Masters also treat their Servants with Fear and Trembling? |
A30672 | Not tedios in the Performance: for it can not( sure) require much skill, time, or labor, to search whether I love or no? |
A30672 | Objection, What then? |
A30672 | Our Apost''l, after his so great boast of the Galatians love, quickly complains, Where is the blessedness you spoak of? |
A30672 | The question therefor between Atheism and Religion, is not whether Fear shall be cast out or no? |
A30672 | They who in such small maters submit to their Governors, or they who disturb the peace of the Church? |
A30672 | We have therefore nothing to enquire but this, Who best conform to this Rule? |
A30672 | What can we expect, but contrary causes must produce contrary effects? |
A30672 | What other spirit but that of Fear could thus confound mens understandings? |
A30672 | What progress they make? |
A30672 | What reason have we to believe that Attrition will bring us to Contrition? |
A30672 | What then? |
A30672 | What? |
A30672 | Why must wee needs make our first addresses to Grief of either kind? |
A30672 | and is not Repentance, Grief? |
A30672 | art thou com''n to torment us? |
A30672 | but whether of the two doth it most effectually? |
A30672 | doth not a Servant please both God and his Master better, if he Obey him with Love and Chearfulness? |
A30672 | must we not fear God as our Savior admonisheth? |
A30672 | must we think any sin litl? |
A30672 | not what we have already do''n, but what we are about to do? |
A30672 | or can we be too fearful of the least? |
A30672 | that they would not again destroy him? |
A30672 | the Lips, the Eyes, the Countenances? |
A30672 | the 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? |
A30672 | which is not Less but More, than whether we be in the state of Grace, or no? |
A30672 | without who''s help they can not hope for pardon, and by who''s help they are secure of it? |
A63913 | Are they able to demonstrate that there is no God? |
A63913 | Because you ca n''t perceive how it can be made out of Nothing: Why do you not also think your self Eternal? |
A63913 | But is the Chair of Scorners at last prov''d the only Chair of Infallibility? |
A63913 | But what puts the Senses in the way and method to correct themselves? |
A63913 | But 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? |
A63913 | But you will say, I ● it not impossible to admit of the making any Thing out of Nothing, since we can not possibly conceive it? |
A63913 | Do not those in Bedlam think themselves wiser than others? |
A63913 | Do they hope to slip beyond the Bounds of his Power, by falling into Nothing when they dye? |
A63913 | Do they think that we are all become such Fools to take Scoffs for Arguments, and Railery for Demonstration? |
A63913 | First, I would ask them, whether they imagine that all Matter, every Particle of Matter thinks? |
A63913 | For example, My right hand writes, whilst my left hand is still, what causes Rest in one, and Motion in the other? |
A63913 | I asked the Gentleman how he would come to know their proper Places and Insertions? |
A63913 | If he had, or had not a full Conviction of the Soul''s Immortality? |
A63913 | If these Men were capable of Counsel, I would ask them whether they are absolutely sure that they are in the right? |
A63913 | If this Answer satisfies not,''t is plain the meaning of the Question, what determines the Will? |
A63913 | Let Mechanism here make an Experiment of its Power, and produce a spiral and turbinated Motion of the whole moved Body without an External Director? |
A63913 | Let therefore the Imagination be never so strong, the Confidence never so great, the Intent never so good, the Question is, whence is this? |
A63913 | Matter must be allowed Eternal: Why? |
A63913 | Must those be the Standard of Mankind, who seem to have little lest of Humane Nature, but laughter and the shape of Men? |
A63913 | Now as it not more reasonable to ascribe the constant observance of these Rules, to an Intelligent Being, than to Chance or no Cause? |
A63913 | Now what can be more expressive of two several perceptive Souls in Man, whose Natures and whose Laws are contrary to each other? |
A63913 | Quae Religio? |
A63913 | Secondly, If all Matter do not think, I next ask, Whether it be only one Atom that does so? |
A63913 | Should a Jest or a foolish Witticism be of more weight than the Dictates of common Sense and sound Reason? |
A63913 | Si vult& potest, quod solum Deo convenit, unde ergo Mala? |
A63913 | The Question therefore is not, Whether a Man be not a free Agent? |
A63913 | To the Question, what is it determines the Will? |
A63913 | What he thought of the Christian Religion? |
A63913 | When did Imagination give Life to a Fly, or do the least act out of it self? |
A63913 | Whether he conceived his Mind to be now as clear, as active, and as vigorous as it had been some few days before his Ilness? |
A63913 | Who knoweth the Spirit of Man that goeth upward, and the Spirit of the Beast that goeth downward to the Earth? |
A63913 | Why former Heroes fell without a Name? |
A63913 | Why not their Battles told by lasting Fame? |
A63913 | aut cur illa non tollit? |
A63913 | aut ea quae vix summâ Ingenij ratione comprehendat, nulla ratione moveri putet? |
A63913 | if they thought of these things, without being told, why may not others do so too? |
A63913 | into what is it resolved? |
A63913 | or on what account do we frequent any Places, either of Publick or Private Worship? |
A63913 | or to sue out Prohibitions in the Court of Heaven to hinder the Effects of Justice there? |
A63913 | that is to say, whether he can write or forbear, speak or be silent, according to his will? |
A63913 | upon what doth it rest? |
A63913 | what Evidence doth the Person bring of his Mission from God? |
A63913 | what doth he produce more than what may be the fruit of Imagination? |
A87056 | Are you Christians or Infidels? |
A87056 | Can there be no medium in your mirth and chearfull repasts, below this sinne of Dishonour, Beastly, and Debaucht behaviour? |
A87056 | Do you professe to worship God, or Mahomet? |
A87056 | Do you think you have no souls to save, nor to lose? |
A87056 | How can you be saved if you will not come unto him that you may have life? |
A87056 | How canst thou call on the Name of that God in the time of calamity and distresse, which thou hast so often cursed and blasphemed? |
A87056 | How 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? |
A87056 | How sad would it be to us, if we heard the sad cryes in Torment? |
A87056 | How shall you believe on him of whom you have not heard? |
A87056 | If 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? |
A87056 | In the morning he set out, and not yet out of the Tovvnes end, one met him, and said, What David, to day, to day? |
A87056 | Is it not a sad thing, to see men drown body and soul together? |
A87056 | Is not the Lords Name as the Apple of his ● e? |
A87056 | Is not this a sad case to be in a Christian Common- wealth? |
A87056 | Is refraining from labour a toil to us? |
A87056 | Is to be eased of sin a burden? |
A87056 | It must be presumed, thou knowest ● to be a sin; How inexcusable then ● st it be unto thee, whose consci ● ● ce is convinced thereof? |
A87056 | Jesus said, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all Galileans, because they suffered such things? |
A87056 | Lord then let me be burdened? |
A87056 | May I not wish, that Drunken ● esse were a sin rare in the Island of Britain? |
A87056 | Or 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? |
A87056 | Seneca Who hath woe? |
A87056 | Shall a Trumpet be blowne in the City, and the people not be afraid? |
A87056 | These are sad examples of Gods Severity and Justice, Who can stand before a consuming fire? |
A87056 | What art thou guilty of that occasions this sin? |
A87056 | What if some have no other living? |
A87056 | What is a more unspeakable mercy, than for souls to have communion with God, as well as our own hearts? |
A87056 | What profit have you of those things wherein one day you shall be ashamed? |
A87056 | What zeal was here in Heathens against this odious sin? |
A87056 | Who hath sorrow ● who hath contention? |
A87056 | Who will not say this was a sad and immediate hand of the Lord? |
A87056 | Would not such ingratitude look odious in vulgar friendship? |
A87056 | how can you hear without a Preacher? |
A87056 | how many destroyed by ● violent death? |
A87056 | is it not the worst of judgements? |
A87056 | let them be examples to you; will not the wrath of God revealed stand in our way, and encompasse us about with terrour and fear? |
A87056 | that at night Gods protection should leave us, as in our graves, when we are in our beds? |
A87056 | the question is, can they live no otherwise, than by making men drunk? |
A87056 | what need then to strike at the root of iniquity? |
A87056 | which is accompanied with so great tokens of Gods sore displeasure? |
A87056 | who would not dread the Issue? |
A87056 | who wound without cure? |
A87056 | will not the Patience, Goodnesse, and Long- suffering of God, lead us to repentance? |
A87056 | would not this swell provocation to the greatest latitude of revenge? |
A26935 | And can you tell how great a crime this is? |
A26935 | And do not the Consciences of the Damned grind and tear them for the contempt of Goodness, and setting against mercy, even mercy to themselves? |
A26935 | And 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? |
A26935 | And doth not the proper Goodness of a means consist in its aptitude to promote the End? |
A26935 | And have you not the like occasion to argue against his other perfections? |
A26935 | And is he not the first cause? |
A26935 | And is not that means the Best, which is aptest to the End? |
A26935 | And is there not necessarily an Imperfection in all that is not God? |
A26935 | And tell me, what if but the wills of all the poor, the pained, the dying,& c. were but reconciled to their suffering- state? |
A26935 | And that his Goodness( though not as to be measured by humane Interest) is equal to his Wisdom and his greatness? |
A26935 | And that they are none of them greater or less than other? |
A26935 | And what Grace or happiness can there be without the Love of God? |
A26935 | And yet that there are Toads, Serpents, Darkness, Death, Sickness, pains,& c. which therefore are no whit inconsistent with his Goodness? |
A26935 | Are not all effects from their causes? |
A26935 | Are you well acquainted with the nature and degrees of the future miseries which tempt you to think that God is cruel? |
A26935 | But God foreknoweth, e. g. Judas sin, Therefore it will certainly come to pass) And what of all this? |
A26935 | But can a Child of God be possibly guilty of so great a sin as this? |
A26935 | Could he give more goodness than he had to give? |
A26935 | Did it make it self? |
A26935 | Do not all men in the World confess Gods Goodness first or last? |
A26935 | Do you not know that Power, Wisdom and Goodness are Gods Three essential Principles of Operation, Virtues, or Properties? |
A26935 | Doth not the admirable harmony of all the world, and his wonderful work in every Creature, prove his incomprehensible Wisdom? |
A26935 | For 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? |
A26935 | Hath God made a world that is better than himself? |
A26935 | I say after all this, have any of these persons cause to complain, that God dealeth not mercifully with them? |
A26935 | I say, this, be one that instead of praising God with the raptures of continual Joy, shall turn his accuser? |
A26935 | If God made man and all things, Did he not make them for himself, for the pleasure of his own will? |
A26935 | If he be better than all, is he not most beyond accusation or exception? |
A26935 | Is it any better than a denying that there is any God? |
A26935 | Is 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? |
A26935 | Is it not a plain act of malice against God and us? |
A26935 | Is it not certain that there is a world, in which is abundance of Created Goodness? |
A26935 | Is not all the Goodness of the whole Creation communicated from God? |
A26935 | Is not that a contradiction? |
A26935 | Is not that best, that is best to the order, beauty, and usefulness of the universal frame? |
A26935 | Is the Goodness of a King to be judged of by the Interest of Murderers in the Goal? |
A26935 | Must be not needs in reason be the end of all, who is the Beginning and cause of all? |
A26935 | Must not God necessarily excell his works? |
A26935 | Must not he needs be better than all his works? |
A26935 | No Scripture or Reason telleth us whether Sun or Moon, Starrs and intermediate Aether, be inhabited or not? |
A26935 | O man into what distraction and confusion art thou faln, when thou departest from thy God and sinkest into that blind and wretched self? |
A26935 | Shall they, that will not accept of life and mercy offered them, accuse him as cruel that importuneth them to accept it? |
A26935 | Shall this person? |
A26935 | They are not all of one degree; What if much of them be still voluntary to the miserable souls? |
A26935 | What mind can be so black, as to deny all Created Goodness? |
A26935 | When as there could neither be any of these, nor any world or being, if there were no God? |
A26935 | Who can Love him whom he believeth to be bad, and so unlovely? |
A26935 | Who is wise? |
A26935 | Would you thus argue or quarrel against Gods Greatness and Wisdom, as you do against his Goodness? |
A26935 | and he shall understand these things; prudent? |
A26935 | must he needs make every worm a God? |
A26935 | or must he make any God, or equal to himself? |
A26935 | or rather a higher Demonstration of his Godness? |
A26935 | or rather must it not have that excellency with belongeth to it as a part of the whole, for the common end of all together? |
A26935 | or who else made it? |
A26935 | suspect, did I say? |
A26935 | that so men may hate him and fly from him as they do from Devils? |
A26935 | would that which pleaseth the will be matter of any complaint? |
A20960 | And if he read when he vnderstood not, how much more when he began to vnderstand? |
A20960 | And to say with Dauid: O when shall I present my selfe before Gods face? |
A20960 | Art thou assured that being fallen, thou shalt rise againe? |
A20960 | As for the wicked, God saith vnto him in the 50 Psalme, Wherefore takest thou my words into thy mouth? |
A20960 | Canst thou loue God without following him? |
A20960 | Doth that man loue God, which wil not willingly speake vnto him, nor of him; or who taketh no counsell of God in his distresse? |
A20960 | For a little pleasure mingled with bitternesse, wilt thou trouble the peace of thy conscience? |
A20960 | For a little porttage of herbes, wilt thou neglect thy birth- right? |
A20960 | For what is the life of a faithful man but an issue out of Egypt, a voyage to return home to our father? |
A20960 | For will you loue God, as you ought? |
A20960 | From whence commeth this so sudden change? |
A20960 | He which hath not spared his owne Sonne, but deliuered him ouer for vs, how shall not he giue vs all things with him? |
A20960 | He, 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? |
A20960 | How much more shall the faithfull soule find& feele in the loue of his God? |
A20960 | If God be with vs, who shall be against vs? |
A20960 | If he read being a pagā, how much more being become a Christian? |
A20960 | If he read in his chariot, how much more in his house? |
A20960 | If he reckon our haires, how much more our sighes and our prayers, which hee himselfe hath prescribed vs? |
A20960 | If 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? |
A20960 | If thou thinkest to giue almes, it will softly suggest in thine eare, What know I that I shall haue no need thereof my selfe? |
A20960 | Is this the way to the kingdome of heauen? |
A20960 | It 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? |
A20960 | Let vs likewise say, He that laieth vp our teares, wil not he gather vp our prayers? |
A20960 | Now if God hath cōmunicated vnto vs all his coūsel, as saith S. Paul, Acts 20: shall we make difficultie to let him know ours? |
A20960 | Now if it were a miracle in Israel to see a familie instructed in the feare of the Lord, how much more amongst infidels? |
A20960 | Now 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? |
A20960 | O death, where is thy victorie? |
A20960 | O graue where is thy sting? |
A20960 | O when shall I present my self before the face of God? |
A20960 | Or that the Apostle S. Paul, labouring with his hands to make tents, of this earthly trauell, tooke occasion to thinke of our heauenly rest? |
A20960 | Our meditation can not chuse a more excellent subiect: for what is there which is greater then God, or more sweete thē his loue? |
A20960 | Shall it be said, that the blessings of God haue rained vpon the sands, without making vs more fruitful of good works? |
A20960 | Shall it be said, that the great viuacity of spirit which God hath giuē you, serueth you but to feele griefe more sensibly? |
A20960 | Shall 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? |
A20960 | That is to say, if he haue not so much as naturall loue, how can he haue the supernatural? |
A20960 | The onely attention of future glorie, which you apprehend by faith, can it not digest all bitternesse? |
A20960 | Those be good which loue good things; and amongst good things what is there like vnto God? |
A20960 | Time 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? |
A20960 | Wee which heare Pastors which are not receiueable, but so farre forth as they proue their sayings by the word of God? |
A20960 | What then shall the vehemencie be of both these affections, when they shal be mingled both together, and ioyned in one loue? |
A20960 | Where are the promises which thou hast made him? |
A20960 | Wherefore so? |
A20960 | Wherfore wouldest thou grieue the Spirit of God? |
A20960 | Who is that faithfull Christiā, who hath practised this exercise, and hath not felt ease? |
A20960 | Who is that quarreller or theefe, that wil strike or steale in the presence of the Iudge? |
A20960 | Who wil feare hauing such a patron, who not onely maketh intercession for sinners, but of sinners maketh them iust? |
A20960 | Yea euen out of affliction, and in full prosperitie, what sweetnesse& pleasure is there in this communication? |
A20960 | Yea, and in your life time, how many of Gods assistances, how many difficulties happily ouergone? |
A20960 | and for all this, what do we not in Gods sight, the Iudge not onely of our actions, but also of our thoughts? |
A20960 | and if in Ierusalem, how much more in Babylon? |
A20960 | despisest thou his threatnings? |
A20960 | doth not God see this? |
A20960 | forgettest thou thy vocation? |
A20960 | or follow such as do good to their enemies, whilest thou liuest in discord with thy brethren? |
A20960 | or that God hath made you great, that your teares might haue the greater fall? |
A20960 | or who is not touched with the zeale of his glory? |
A20960 | reiectest thou his promises? |
A20960 | was it, that in the midst of his prayer, some good newes arriued, which might allay his griefe? |
A20960 | where is thy mindfulnesse of his benefits? |
A20960 | wherefore wouldest thou bring a scandall vpon his Church? |
A44691 | And I may add, can it be comfortable to us, he should have no other interest in us than he hath in Devils? |
A44691 | And again, ille qui adoptabatur — utrum i d fieri pateretur? |
A44691 | And dare we, who live, move, and have our being in him, refuse to be, live, and move to him? |
A44691 | And first, Let it be considered, Are there no like cases? |
A44691 | And how shall he, while you hold off your selves from him? |
A44691 | And if that were done never so seriously, must one be a Christian alwaies, onely by the Christianity of another, not his own? |
A44691 | And that least should appear of caution, care and punctual dealing, in our very greatest concernment? |
A44691 | And 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? |
A44691 | And what are these sanctify''d for, but to be used and exercised? |
A44691 | And what can be to you the ground of an higher fortitude? |
A44691 | And what limit can be set to a love, whose object is infinite? |
A44691 | And who is there of us that finds not himself under sufficient obligation, by the mercies of God, unto all this? |
A44691 | And would you think of any less noble Sacrifice? |
A44691 | Are the Collatine people in their own power? |
A44691 | Are the Collatine people in their own power? |
A44691 | Are there no mercies( confer''d or offered) that do peculiarly oblige us more? |
A44691 | Are we not rescued from a necessity of perishing, and being lost for ever, in the most costly way? |
A44691 | Are we too considerable to be his, or his Mercies too inconsiderable to oblige us to be so? |
A44691 | Are you devoted to God? |
A44691 | As a bridegroom rejoiceth over his bride, so will thy God rejoice over thee) and shall not we? |
A44691 | Can any thing less be thought worthy of a God? |
A44691 | Can men excel God in praise- worthy things? |
A44691 | Can they be unsafe that have devoted themselves to God? |
A44691 | Estisne vos legati Oratoresque missi à populo Collatino, ut vos populumque Collatinum dederitis? |
A44691 | For how unlikely were it, and absurd to suppose, that a man should seriously devote his child to God, that never devoted himself? |
A44691 | For is not the Devil invisible too? |
A44691 | For what else can you doe with your self? |
A44691 | For, let such a One think, what particular reason can I have to exclude my self from such a consenting Chorus? |
A44691 | He that provideth not for his own,( his domesticks) those of his own house, hath deny''d the faith, and is worse than an infidel? |
A44691 | How great a day in a man''s life doth he count his marriage day? |
A44691 | In which it is fit for us to tolerate our selves? |
A44691 | Is it fit that a man''s Religion should be less the matter of his solemn choice, than his inferiour concerns? |
A44691 | Is it reasonable one should be a child and a minor in the things of God and Religion all his daies? |
A44691 | Is that too much? |
A44691 | Is this that God is less conversable with men? |
A44691 | Lord, whither shall we go? |
A44691 | My self? |
A44691 | Or 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? |
A44691 | Or 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? |
A44691 | Stand, shall I? |
A44691 | That when he chooses his dwelling, his calling, his servant, or master, he should seem thrown upon his God, and his Religion, by chance? |
A44691 | The one sort, through natural incapacity, can not, by consent, be his? |
A44691 | They have lamented your sin, are you never therefore to lament your own? |
A44691 | They have prayed for you, are you therefore never to pray for your selves? |
A44691 | To 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? |
A44691 | Were we not lost? |
A44691 | What am I? |
A44691 | What an horrid complexion of mind did Cain bear with him hereupon? |
A44691 | What need we, then, do over again, a thing already done? |
A44691 | Wherefore do ye spend your money for that which is not bread? |
A44691 | Which 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? |
A44691 | Who? |
A44691 | Why should I spoil the harmony, and give a disagreeing vote? |
A44691 | Why should any One be more willing to be saved than I? |
A44691 | Why should any man be, more willing to be dutifull, and happy than I? |
A44691 | Will we refuse to give God what we owe? |
A44691 | Will you think, he can be like such a One? |
A44691 | You 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? |
A44691 | You can not be happy without it, For who should make you so but God? |

A54833 | ( that is) to do it by choice and option? |
A54833 | And shall thy weak brother perish for whom Christ died? |
A54833 | And what is that but a respective and conditional Decree? |
A54833 | And why will ye die O house of Israel? |
A54833 | Arminius and Mr. Perkins? |
A54833 | Cur non impletur ejus voluntas? |
A54833 | De arte Lenonum? |
A54833 | De arte Meretricia? |
A54833 | De quâ dicitur, Voluntati ejus quis resistit? |
A54833 | Despisest thou the riches of his goodnesse, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance? |
A54833 | Did he spare the Ninevites in this life, because they were penitents? |
A54833 | Does he decree temporal Iudgements conditionally, because he is pitiful? |
A54833 | Does he lose any praerogative, by being unable to be the Author of sin? |
A54833 | First, if it does, then how can Dives be guilty of that thing, of which Gods absolute Decree is the peremptory Cause? |
A54833 | Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die, and not that he should return from his waies and live? |
A54833 | How doth he expostulate and make his Appeal, whether he had omitted any thing, which might tend to the conversion of a sinful Israel? |
A54833 | How doth he wish that his People had walked in his wayes? |
A54833 | How many Volumes have been written De arte Magica? |
A54833 | I dare not say then( with him in the Comedian, who had been a great sinner) Quid si haec quispiam voluit Deus? |
A54833 | If 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? |
A54833 | If death is that monster, of which sin is the Dam, that brings it forth, how foul a thing must be the Sire? |
A54833 | If the day is equally born for all, how much rather is Jesus Christ? |
A54833 | In this place I would aske, Was the Angels Defection or Apostasie their sin, or no? |
A54833 | Is God so merciful to bodies? |
A54833 | Is he milde in small things, and severe in the greatest? |
A54833 | Is he so unwilling to inflict the first death, and will he shew his power, his absolute power in the second? |
A54833 | Is his nature the lesse absolute, because it pleases him that his will be conditionall in some things, as it is absolute in others? |
A54833 | Must any man be punisht for doing that which he ought? |
A54833 | Num quid iniquitas est apud Deum? |
A54833 | Or how can that be guilt, which is necessity? |
A54833 | Or if some Texts have two senses, if some Texts are liable to many more, must we needs take them in the worst? |
A54833 | Or is not that rather a very great Argument of his Power? |
A54833 | Pluribus pereuntibus, quomodo defenditur perfecta bonitas? |
A54833 | Quis iste Deus tam bonus, ut ab illo malus ● … iat? |
A54833 | Shall not I spare Nineveh, in which are above 120000 souls, which can not distinguish betwixt the right hand and the left? |
A54833 | Shall we say that we do a thing without liberty and choice, because God worketh in us to will and to do? |

A54833 | Si dies aequaliter nascitur omnibus, quanto magis Christus? |
A54833 | The Question is, whether the Grace of God doth work irresistibly in the Elect? |
A54833 | To this Question, De bonâ voluntate unde sit, si naturâ, cur non omnibus, cùm sit idem Deus omnium Creator? |
A54833 | To what end doth he tread the Serpent down, but that we may have the freedome to trample on him? |
A54833 | Twisse and Bellarmine? |
A54833 | What if some God hath so decree''d it? |
A54833 | Which if he had not resisted, how could he have sin''d? |
A54833 | Who am I, that I should moderate between the Remonstrants and Anti- remonstrants? |
A54833 | Why? |
A54833 | and are not your waies unequal? |
A54833 | and can there be any greater blasphemy, then to bring God''s Providence into the pedegree of Death? |
A54833 | and if it were, how then is God''s Reprobation not only the chief, but the only Cause of such a sin? |
A54833 | and if that measure of Grace was lessen''d before he sin''d, how was the taking away of Grace any punishment of his Fall? |
A54833 | and is he lesse merciful to souls? |
A54833 | and that in meer contradiction to the universal Church? |
A54833 | and wherein his Love doth kisse his Power? |
A54833 | and will he damn them in the next, because they were Heathens, by his peremptory Decree? |
A54833 | and will he decree Eternal ones absolutely, meerly because he will? |
A54833 | betwixt S. Austin and other Fathers? |
A54833 | betwixt him and himself? |
A54833 | betwixt the Dominicans and the Iesuites? |
A54833 | betwixt the Synod of Dort, and that other at Augusta? |
A54833 | but after thy hardnesse and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thy self wrath against the day of wrath? |
A54833 | but when it is said, who hath resisted his will? |
A54833 | ex majore parte cessatrix, paucis aliqua, pluribus nulla, cedens perditioni, partiaria exitii? |
A54833 | for what Reason? |
A54833 | how many Christian professors are now in Hell, who when they were Infants were fit and suitable for Heaven? |
A54833 | how shall I deliver thee, Israel? |
A54833 | how shall I make thee as Admah? |
A54833 | how shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
A54833 | if not, why were they reprobated and cast into chaines of darknesse? |
A54833 | is the liberty lost, because it is guided and enabled to do that which is good? |
A54833 | made in intuition of our being in Christ, and of our being so qualified to be in Christ? |
A54833 | or betwixt Whitaker and Baro? |
A54833 | or how was he then in the state of innocence? |
A54833 | or that their destruction was irrespective, and unconditionall? |
A54833 | si dono Dei, etiam hoc quare non omnibus, cùm omnes homines velit salvos fieri? |
A54833 | why did he not hold him fast by irresistible Grace? |
A54833 | with 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? |
A66434 | 2ly, 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? |
A66434 | Again, Who in his wits will affirm that men may do what they reasonably judge sinful? |
A66434 | And 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? |
A66434 | And is this nothing toward the proof of it? |
A66434 | And 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? |
A66434 | And not for his Thus, and the reasons given by him? |
A66434 | And of God- Fathers in Baptism? |
A66434 | And then what becomes of their argument for such and such practices and customs that they were Civil? |
A66434 | And what is Idolatry but the giving Divine honour to that which is not God, or prohibited honour to the true and only God? |
A66434 | As for postures what more scrupled and opposed than Kneeling at the Sacrament? |
A66434 | But First why did not Synagogues want a Special Command as well as the Temple which he contends for?) |
A66434 | But have they only some Forms relating to the Sacrament? |
A66434 | But here let me ask them what it is creates a Decency? |
A66434 | But how began that Prescription, whence arose that consent whether from chance or institution? |
A66434 | But how may he pray naked in Regious assemblies( for we are speaking of publick Worship) can he say it''s sutable to the Solemnity? |
A66434 | But however what hath he to reply to that which hath been many times said? |
A66434 | But in answer to this, he asks, Why are such things express''d to us in this phrase, as, Not Commanded only? |
A66434 | But suppose I am mistaken, how hath he mended the matter? |
A66434 | But was there nothing else determined? |
A66434 | But we read of no order for such Acts on their days of Fasting, were they not therefore Religious? |
A66434 | First, he saith, As to Circumcision, what particular direction had the Jews? |
A66434 | For what is Superstition but the dreading of that which is not to be dreaded? |
A66434 | For what more precarious than to speak doubtfully( If they did) of that which yet is clearly evident they did observe? |
A66434 | Have they nothing but Forms of Prayer, what then thinks he of Anniversary Festivals observed in the Helvetick and Bohemick Churches? |
A66434 | How might they have changed them? |
A66434 | If we take the Phrase as it is, yet there his Question, Why are they thus express''d, and not commanded? |
A66434 | In Answer to this I shall consider what Natural Liberty is, and then what Liberty it is that the Apostle did treat of? |
A66434 | Indeed what are all the outward acts of Reverence but expressing of Homage, Veneration and Adoration to God? |
A66434 | Lastly, Are the things required unlawful because imposed? |
A66434 | Might they do it as Apostolical Persons, or as Private Members of the Jewish Church? |
A66434 | Now let us consider, what are the reasons why he can not possibly agree? |
A66434 | Or rather did they not use them as they found them instituted and observed in the Jewish Church? |
A66434 | Or that can do it? |
A66434 | Or that there could be any Communion with those Churches, if any did otherwise? |
A66434 | Or to ascertain the sense of it, than to shew that it''s always alike applied to such a case, or thing? |
A66434 | Or what is it whence it ariseth, if it be found to be decent? |
A66434 | So the Apostle calls their Table, the Table of Devils? |
A66434 | Suppose then we put it to the question, Is Scripture alone a sufficient Rule for matters to be used in the Worship of God? |
A66434 | Thus: How is that? |
A66434 | Was there no Reason offer''d, no account given of it? |
A66434 | We indeed read of no habit before the Fall, but is there nothing natural to man since the Fall? |
A66434 | What fitter way have we to find out the meaning of a phrase, than to consider the several places where it is used? |
A66434 | What is it that doth make things in themselves lawful and indifferent, to be unlawful in Divine Worship? |
A66434 | What is that to Days and Hours, which the Scripture speaks of, and he contends against? |
A66434 | What is this to the Forms used in their Service, which the Jews do write of? |
A66434 | What of such, that when they grant Things Indifferent to be neither commanded nor forbidden, will yet say, that things not commanded are forbidden? |
A66434 | What then shall we say to Capellus, that saith diverse of them have set Forms of Liturgies? |
A66434 | What then? |
A66434 | What to the Bohemian Churches that have also Forms in Singing of Humane Composure? |
A66434 | What to their Formularies, as those of Holland and Switzerland? |
A66434 | Whether in Case such things are determined, people may, without sin, obey? |
A66434 | Whether in Case they make any such Law, the people may, without sin, obey them? |
A66434 | Whether it be Lawful to separate from a Church upon the Account of promiscuous Congregations, and Mixt Communion? |
A66434 | Whether the doing of any thing in the Worship of God without a command be a sinful addition to the Word of God? |
A66434 | Whether there be any Authority in Church or State, to determine the things which God hath left Indifferent to his people? |
A66434 | Whether things in their own nature Indifferent, though not prescribed in the Word of God, may be lawfully used in Divine Worship? |
A66434 | Who ever affirmed it? |
A66434 | Will those reasons justifie those very hours of the day, or the just number of three hours? |
A66434 | b But in my mind there is a much nearer way to end controversies, which is not by disputing who shall be Judge? |
A66434 | enquiry in the Tract aforesaid was, How we are to determine our selves in the use of Indifferent Things in the Worship of God? |
A66434 | where 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? |
A30629 | Again, and what among the Learned is more discoursed of than the Trinity of Plato? |
A30629 | All their Applications and all their Altars to Iupiter Salutaris, Iupiter the Saviour? |
A30629 | And I the rather stand on this Argument, because it looks so like the Great Apostle''s, But O man, who art thou that Replyest against God? |
A30629 | And Judge how great a Wrath that is, since all Resentments in the heart of God proportion and adjust him? |
A30629 | And he said unto her, what wilt thou? |
A30629 | And how can men be Just, by conforming but to Laws that are made by men who may be Unjust? |
A30629 | And shall these be damned to Eternal Torments, for what they can not help? |
A30629 | And what Husband- man would not cut down a Tree that is but Cumber and Burthen to the Ground? |
A30629 | And what for Imprisonment? |
A30629 | And what if he intended to verifie his Divinity to after Ages, by the Truth of his Prognosticks in the former? |
A30629 | And what is that Law? |
A30629 | And wherein now in point of Goodness, or of Justice, is he wanting or Defective? |
A30629 | And who knows but that they meant both? |
A30629 | And why? |
A30629 | But it may be, you will say, But why so much Haste then? |
A30629 | But what is the Law for the wicked? |
A30629 | But why Eternal Punishments? |
A30629 | But you will ask me, why doth God Appropriate Vengeance? |
A30629 | But you will say, here is a kind of Trinity indeed, but of what Relation to the Christian? |
A30629 | Can any thing be more Express, or more full, than is the Declaration which he makes in favour of the Penitent? |
A30629 | Cur multi Divitum Herculi Decimam bonorum suorum consecrant? |
A30629 | Expressions of the Absolute and Tyrannical Empire of God, to those other softer ones of his Goodness and Kindness, and Tenderness for men? |
A30629 | For else, what mean all their Rites of Expiation and Lustration? |
A30629 | For what belief is more agreeing to the Christian Doctrine, or more Orthodox than this? |
A30629 | For what expression can be more significant and full, than that of Iohn? |
A30629 | For who but God- man could dare to go between God and man? |
A30629 | Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should dye? |
A30629 | Hear now, O house of Israel, is not my way equal? |
A30629 | How agrees this with Infinite and Eternal Goodness? |
A30629 | How can that be dost thou say? |
A30629 | How long shall God await and expect? |
A30629 | I answer, God makes it, who dealeth not alike to all; and do you further ask me, Why he dealeth not alike to all? |
A30629 | I 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? |
A30629 | If God expecteth from me more than he hath put into me, and grow angry because he hath not what he looks for, who can help it?] |
A30629 | In a word, who knoweth not that in our Saviours time, there were Iews or Israelites of all Nations under Heaven? |
A30629 | In fine, How long should God try? |

A30629 | Once, who hath heard of Jesus Christ, that can without Reflection on him, read the Greek Stories of Mercury? |
A30629 | Qua ratione inquiris? |
A30629 | Shall I come before him with Burnt Offerings, with Calves of an year old? |
A30629 | Shall I give my first born for my transgression, or the fruit of my Body, for the sin of my soul? |
A30629 | Shall the thing formed say to him that form''d it, why hast thou made me thus? |
A30629 | So Iohn, O you Generation of Vipers, who[ by menacing you with it] hath fore- warn''d you to flee from the wrath to come? |
A30629 | This was her Faith, she had heard of God, the True God; and who had not? |
A30629 | Ubi enim, vel quae scelera potuimus admittere, qui omnino non fuimus? |
A30629 | What Pretext can there be for a Plea, that he would be faithful in greater matters, that broke his Faith for so small a One? |

A59663 | our Observance? |
A12191 | 1 First of all, have not we matter to praise God that he would correct us at all? |
A12191 | 1 What state is that? |
A12191 | 2 Is hee not a foole, that will doe that in an instant, that hee may repent many yeeres after? |
A12191 | And doe we think that he that regards dogges out of the Church, will neglect his children in the Church? |
A12191 | And indeed when we judge the people to be truly good, and true hearted to God, we owe them this dutie? |
A12191 | And then for our children ▪ those that God hath committed to us, let us make use of baptisme, do they die in their infancie? |
A12191 | And what can he doe now at the right hand of God in heaven? |
A12191 | And what may we impute it unto? |
A12191 | And would it not comfort her soule to have the judgement of so strong a man as Paul? |
A12191 | Attention is a speciall thing: how many sermons are lost in this Citie, that are as seed drowned, that never come to fruite? |
A12191 | But especially in matters of grace, if God had not sent Christ to redeeme the world, what a cursed condition had we lyen in? |
A12191 | But when is preparation sufficient? |
A12191 | But you will aske, how shall I know a man whose heart is opened, and attends better then another man doth? |
A12191 | By those that are fooles indeed, in the judgement of him who is wisedome indeed, God himselfe: who would care to be accounted a foole of a foole? |
A12191 | Can we looke for any thing but GOD must discover his mind to bestow it? |
A12191 | Christians must not fall to jarre, why? |
A12191 | David roared, his moysture was turned into the drought of summer, what course doth hee take? |
A12191 | Deliverance from troble, and sicknesse? |
A12191 | Especially now when we come to the communion, what doe we heere if we can not relish the food of our soules? |
A12191 | For whence is it that all other things are sweet to vs? |
A12191 | God opened her heart, to what end? |
A12191 | Have wee not great, provoked, cruell Idolatrous enemies? |
A12191 | How can these praise God? |
A12191 | How made hee this heaven, and earth, this glorious fabrick? |
A12191 | I must abolish sin in my nature? |
A12191 | If we would stirre up our selues to prayse God let us consider our owne vnworthinesse? |
A12191 | Is hee not a foolish man( in matter of dyet) that will take that, that he shall complaine of a long time after? |
A12191 | Is it not worse to fall into the hands of our enemies? |
A12191 | It is as if shee had sayd, God hath taken me into his family, and will admit mee to heauen, and will not you come to my house? |
A12191 | It was the speech of a Heathen, we are best when we are weakest, why? |
A12191 | Let this teach us to set a price upon the ordinance of God: doth God set up an ordinance; and will he not giue vertue, and power to it? |
A12191 | Oh t ● at men would therefore praise the Lord,& c. It is a duty as I said before fit for Angels, fit? |
A12191 | Perhaps thou shalt be accounted a foole by whom? |
A12191 | Shall I yeild to that: that in baptisme I haue sworne against? |
A12191 | Shall wee not affect and loue them that God loues? |
A12191 | The Church of latter times, in the time of reformation, how began it? |
A12191 | There are many that their bodies are well( thanks be to God) but how is it with their soules? |
A12191 | There is one faith, and one Baptisme, have wee not all one father? |
A12191 | Therefore poore soules when they want good evidence, when they doubt whether their estate be good or no? |
A12191 | To make them more thankfull when they recover: for what is the reason that men are so sleight in thanksgiving? |
A12191 | To what purpose? |
A12191 | WHAT word? |
A12191 | Was it not so among our selues? |
A12191 | Was not civill commerce stayed? |
A12191 | We may shake off( as prophane spirits doe) the Ministers exhortations: but will you shake off depart ye Cursed at the latter day? |
A12191 | What a pittifull state are wicked men in? |
A12191 | What enemies wee have provoked? |
A12191 | What have wee within us to praise God? |
A12191 | What if wee be free from the sicknesse, are we not in great danger of worse matters th ● n the sicknesse? |
A12191 | What is the end of our hearing? |
A12191 | What is the end of receiving the sacrament? |
A12191 | What is the reason wee yeeld to corruptions and temptations? |
A12191 | When it hath wrought that holy affection, it works by that holy affection? |
A12191 | When we are tempted to sinne, let us thinke, what haue I to doe with sinne? |
A12191 | Where is spirituall life, when this spirituall sence is gone: when men can not relish holy things? |
A12191 | Whether it be connaturall to the word or no? |
A12191 | Whither can a man goe from this arrow, but that God being every where might smite him with the pestilence? |
A12191 | Why are wicked men fooles, and Gods children, so farre as they yeeld to their lusts? |
A12191 | Why did shee desire them to come to her house? |
A12191 | Why doth hee begin with transgressions against the first table, and then iniquities the breach of the second? |
A12191 | Why hath God given man reason here upon the stage of the world? |
A12191 | Why? |
A12191 | Will you shake off that sentence, you would not heare me, and I will not heare you? |
A12191 | YOU see many sweet graces presently after shee beleived, here is a loving heart? |
A12191 | a thanksgiving? |
A12191 | and where haue wee the mind and bosome of God opened to us, is it not from the scriptures the word of God, from the good word especially? |
A12191 | as hee saith very well, who is ambitious, voluptuous, or covetous for the world when he is sick, when he sees the vanity of these things? |
A12191 | by his word, how are things multiplyed? |
A12191 | especially prayse him when he hath immediately done it, as he can, did not he make light before there was a sunne? |
A12191 | hee knows not whether hee be in the favour of God or no? |
A12191 | let us examine if we desire to tast the loue of God, and to be acquainted with God here if not, What shall wee doe in these spirituall distempers? |
A12191 | nay, what is the duty it selfe? |
A12191 | oh grave where is thy victory? |
A12191 | were not the veynes of the kingdome stopped? |
A12191 | what is the end of prayer? |
A12191 | whether it be savourie or no? |
A12191 | whether they could be without the meanes of salvation or no? |
A12191 | with his mightie commanding word, how doth hee preserve things? |
A12191 | with his word; Let there be light, and there was light,& c. And how shall hee restore all againe? |
A12191 | with physick? |
A37987 | * Ipse mundus quoties per noctem ignes suos fudit,& tantum stellarum innumerabilium refulsit, quem non intentum in se tenet? |
A37987 | * ● uid cùm ordo temporum ac frugum stabili varietate distingultur? |
A37987 | A great Naturalist takes special Notice of this, and cries out, † What is more Wonderful than the Waters standing in the Air? |
A37987 | And if it be ask''d, Whence is that Fewel for those vast Fires, which continually burn? |
A37987 | And if it be more sensible, what is the reason that according to them we have no perception of it? |
A37987 | And if the Ear shall say, because I am not the Eye, I am not of the Body; is it therefore not of the Body? |
A37987 | And the Permanency of this excellent Order shews its Author: Wherefore to that Question,* Whence doth it appear that there is a God? |
A37987 | And what are these Treasuries and Store- houses of Rain, Snow and Hail, but the Clouds, from whence these Meteors descend? |
A37987 | And what can we imagine this Government of Day and Night to be for but to serve the Necessities of Man? |
A37987 | And who knows not the Vsefulness of Plants as they are serviceable to Food and Physick? |
A37987 | And why doth the Theorist imprison the whole Element within the Earth? |
A37987 | And why were the Particles of the Teeth and Bones of Sea- Animals( which he likewise mentions) not dissevered? |
A37987 | And yet have we no apprehension at all of our continual capering about the Sun? |
A37987 | Are there any among the Vanities( i. e. the Idols) of the Gentiles that can cause Rain? |
A37987 | Are we presently apprehensive of the Earth''s shaking never so little under us? |
A37987 | Art not thou he, O Lord God? |
A37987 | But I ask, why might not these be of Primitive ordering? |
A37987 | But what is this to the changing the very Situation and Posture of the Earth? |
A37987 | But where God and Nature are not sparing, why should we be? |
A37987 | Can a Man perswade himself that the light Trepidation of this Element can be felt, and yet the rapid Circumvolution of it can not? |
A37987 | Can the most hardned Atheist perswade himself that these things were by chance, or from mere Matter moved? |
A37987 | Doth not the Troublesome Existence of these Creatures prove rather a Carelessness in the Divine Management than a Provident Care of the World? |
A37987 | For 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? |
A37987 | For where should we fix its Throne, but in that Place where there is the original of all Sense and Motion? |
A37987 | Hast thou not poured me out as Milk, and curdled me like Cheese? |
A37987 | He might have said, so many Seas hanging in the Air? |
A37987 | How are those Flames fed? |
A37987 | How came they to escape crushing in their falling down and subsiding, which he supposeth? |
A37987 | How can a Wise Providence be proved from the Existence of such Creatures, as Foxes, Otters, Weesels, Pole- Cats, Rats and Mice? |
A37987 | How curious is the Architecture? |
A37987 | How fine and delicate a Thread doth it spin? |
A37987 | How frequent is David on this Theme, extolling God''s Providence in respect of the Creatures, the Heavens and Earth, Living and Inanimate things? |
A37987 | How is it proved hence that the First Earth had another Situation to the Sun, and had a perpetual Equinox and Spring? |
A37987 | How many Evils and Mischiefs would follow upon it? |
A37987 | How wonderfully artificial is the Spider''s Web or House, as''t is call''d in the Hebrew, Iob 8.14? |
A37987 | If Men were alike in Face as Sheep and some other Animals, what a strange Confusion would be in the World? |
A37987 | If a Man should be ask''d why Bays or Lawrel- leaves rather than others crackle in the Fire? |
A37987 | If it should be asked why the Cock rather than any other Fowl gives warning of the Sun''s appearing, and crows before it rises? |
A37987 | If the Foot shall say, because I am not the Hand, I am not of the Body; is it therefore not of the Body? |
A37987 | If the whole Body were an Eye, where were the hearing? |
A37987 | If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? |
A37987 | If then they hold this, I ask why this Motion also which they speak of is not perceived by us? |
A37987 | If this were so, how comes it to pass that the Shells( which he often speaks of) remain still? |
A37987 | If you ask why the Lives of such Men are not always Good; yea, why they do not excel? |
A37987 | It is not without cause that they are thus and thus shap''d, and not otherwise: and whence is this but from a Divine Author? |
A37987 | It may be said, Are there not many Useless and Superfluous Animals in the World? |
A37987 | Just so the Earth turns it self round to the Sun, to roast it self, and who would expect any other thing? |
A37987 | Must we therefore deny that there is any at all? |
A37987 | Now, is it not more likely that the Earth moves than that these vast Bodies move from Place to Place? |
A37987 | Now, whence can this so neat, so commodious, so exact Architecture proceed but from a Divine Director? |
A37987 | Or 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? |
A37987 | Or, is a thing sensible, and yet not the Object of Sense? |
A37987 | Shall 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? |
A37987 | They were not against Physicians, but Pretenders to the Art( and who indeed is not against them?) |
A37987 | This 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? |
A37987 | This is that puzzling Problem which the wise Man starts, How the Bones grow in her that is with child? |
A37987 | Vis Deum Mundum ● ocare? |
A37987 | What are the Heavens in comparison of this Glorious Creature? |
A37987 | What is the Brightest Constellation in respect of the Organiz''d Fabrick of Humane Bodies? |
A37987 | What is the Sun if compar''d with the Rational Soul of Man? |
A37987 | What is the reason( say they) that such great Numbers of these Persons have so little Sense of a God in their Lives? |
A37987 | What tho our shallow Understandings can not guess at the Purpose and Project of Heaven? |
A37987 | What words shall I use, saith † Plutarch, to express sufficiently the Diligence of the Pismires? |
A37987 | When he views the strange Conveyances, the greater and lesser Chanels and Conduits for the Liquors and Juices contained in it? |
A37987 | Whence is it that they are not spent and exhausted? |
A37987 | Whence is there such an Abundance of things made as''t were to support our Luxury? |
A37987 | Wherefore it was St. Augustine''s devout Query, Quis disposuit membra culicis& pulicis? |
A37987 | Who admires not the singular Hand of the Almighty in the Ebbing and Flowing of this huge Mass of Waters? |
A37987 | Who can give Credit to that Romantick Solution of the French Phi ● osopher? |
A37987 | Who can sufficiently admire this when he beholds the Variety of the Structure, the Diversity of the Workmanship? |
A37987 | Who hath disposed and set in order the several Joints and Members of a Gnat or a Flea? |
A37987 | Who hath given them that excellent Contexture of Parts? |
A37987 | Who is not ravish''d with the excellent Shape, Colour and Smell of the Plants and Flowers which a choice Garden is stock''d with? |
A37987 | Who is not sensible that Thunder is the more signal Operation of a Divine Cause, and therefore is so frequently call''d God''s Voice? |
A37987 | Who knoweth not in all th ● se that the Hand of the Lord hath wrought this? |
A37987 | Who made these Beautiful Objects in the World but Beauty it self? |
A37987 | Who therefore can deny that this is more sensible than that? |
A37987 | Why do some of them profess an Indifferency as to Religion, and scarcely acknowledge the Author of it? |
A37987 | Why may we not hold that these Strata were originally so disposed? |
A37987 | Why were they not dissolved? |
A37987 | Yea, how can he be so impudent as to say that Man himself was but a By- blow? |
A37987 | Yea, how come they to be in the very same Figure and Shape that they had at first, and to have no alteration? |
A37987 | Yea, 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? |
A37987 | Yea, why do some endeavour to expel both of them out of the World, and to introduce Atheism, Scepticism and Prophaneness? |
A37987 | how thin and soft a Web doth it weave? |
A37987 | nonne auctorem suum parentémque testatur? |

A37987 | unde illa luxu ● ia ● quoque instruens copia? |
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? |
A52424 | All the remaining Difference therefore lies in this Question, whether Sin be the only Evil? |
A52424 | And can not I thus love GOD only, and my Neighbour too, and so fulfil both Commands? |
A52424 | And does not GOD comprehend all possible Good, is he not the very Fountain and sole Author of it? |
A52424 | And having once tasted of this true and only satisfying good, is it possible that it should desire or relish any thing besides him? |
A52424 | And 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? |
A52424 | And how shall a Man repent for his Sin? |
A52424 | And if of Pain, why not of Grief? |
A52424 | And if they have, Concealment is their wisest Choice, since they shall be sure to find more Envy than Encouragement? |
A52424 | And indeed with what Line could the Apostle measure such an immense Vastness? |
A52424 | And indeed, what can be so destructive to the Love of our Neighbour as these Desires? |
A52424 | And must not that then be an Evil that is contrary to Happiness? |
A52424 | And 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? |
A52424 | And 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? |
A52424 | 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? |
A52424 | And would we present him with less? |
A52424 | Are these Thoughts worthy of GOD? |
A52424 | Besides, does not the Command sufficiently explain it self? |
A52424 | But 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? |
A52424 | But 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? |
A52424 | But besides, does not the Scripture always express our Love towards our Neighbour as a Love of Benevolence only? |
A52424 | But can GOD in any sense be said to be the Author of this Pain? |
A52424 | But does not Reason plead as much for the Lawfulness of desiring one Creature as another? |
A52424 | But does not our Conscience secretly reproach us when we do so? |
A52424 | But now how can the Will be moved towards good in general but by being moved towards all good? |
A52424 | Can not I desire but one thing only in the World, and yet at the same time wish well to every thing else? |
A52424 | Can we love God too much, or Creatures too little? |
A52424 | Does it ever describe it by want of Desire? |
A52424 | For 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? |
A52424 | For what but willing an Evil to a Man can be contrary to wishing well to him? |
A52424 | For what can Nature desire but a Supply of all her Wants, and a Union with the Fonntain of all Felicity? |
A52424 | For what can be too difficult to do to acquire a more perfect Enjoyment of what we love? |
A52424 | For what have we to do, what is it that deserves to be the Business of rational Creatures but to adore and love their Maker? |
A52424 | For what is there in the Creature but Emptiness, Vanity and Vexation? |
A52424 | For where is the Glory of excelling those who have little or no Excellency in them? |
A52424 | For who else should either have Power or Knowledge to new modifie our Beings, but he who made them and perfectly understands them? |
A52424 | From whence then does this Absurdity arise? |
A52424 | Hath he not taken all the Care that is consistent with the Nature he hath given us to secure us from it? |
A52424 | Have you indeed been affected with my Letters? |
A52424 | He 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? |
A52424 | He may — what shall I say? |
A52424 | How hard is it to drive us to our Felicity, how difficult to convince us of our Happiness? |
A52424 | How often do we force the Almighty to deprive us of these dear Idols that have usurped our Hearts? |
A52424 | How often will the Objects of our Love be wanting? |
A52424 | How often will the Objects of our Love be wanting? |
A52424 | How often will they be unkind? |
A52424 | How will it gratifie that which they call Wit, but is more truly ill Nature, to find so much Matter to work on? |
A52424 | If a Body have no Worth, to what End should they expose themselves, and bring their Weakness to the Light? |
A52424 | If he be guilty of a little Mistake or Inadvertency( and who is secure therefrom?) |
A52424 | If he be the Cause of our Happiness, why can not he be as well the Cause of our Misery? |
A52424 | Ioseph''s Expostulation in my Mind is very emphatick: How can I do this great Evil and sin against GOD? |
A52424 | Is it not enough to wish and do well to them? |
A52424 | Is the Heart of Man too great a Sacrifice for a God, though it were intirely offered and wholly burnt and consumed at his Altar? |
A52424 | O divine Love whither art thou fled, or where art thou to be found? |
A52424 | Of what Law? |
A52424 | Or rather does he not deserve infinitely more than we or any of his Creatures can bestow upon him? |
A52424 | Or to be ravished with harmonious Numbers when they briskly strike his Ear? |
A52424 | Or would you try to bring your self off by your Distinction of the superiour and inferiour Part of the Soul? |
A52424 | Then 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? |
A52424 | Though he has obtained his Object, has he satisfied his Desire? |
A52424 | What but he who made it can replenish and content it? |
A52424 | What 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? |
A52424 | What can be too hard to suffer for the sake of that Object that hath won our Heart? |
A52424 | What is it but Desire that creates those Jealousies and Disquiets which sometimes creep into this refined Affection? |
A52424 | What think you then will the Beaux Esprits discover? |
A52424 | What''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? |
A52424 | Whatever it is, I am sure it ought to be so: For who can forbear to admire Beauty when plainly represented to his Eye? |
A52424 | When the Fruition of Beauty, and Harmony, and Goodness in the Abstract are offered to him? |
A52424 | Where can it quench its insatiable Thirst but in this inexhaustible Ocean of Delight? |
A52424 | Whither then can the Will possibly move but towards him? |
A52424 | Who is so dull as not to desire what is lovely, and relish what is good? |
A52424 | Why then do we relish any other Pleasure? |
A26344 | A burning wrath; as the Originall hath it; How long wilt thou smoak against the prayer of thy people? |
A26344 | Alas, what can quiet that soul, which is distracted with such legions and multitudes of thoughts, and throngs of sorrowes? |
A26344 | Alas, what hope is left us, when God is angry at Prayer? |
A26344 | And shall thy Jealousie burne like fire? |
A26344 | Are we all in the transgression, and do we lay the burden of repentance upon some few? |
A26344 | Are we full of griefe within, and find no vent but by the groanes and tears of repentance? |
A26344 | Are we haunted with temptations, hurried with persecutions? |
A26344 | Are we troubled with the wants and miseries of this life? |
A26344 | Bee these imputations, thus charged upon me, true or false? |
A26344 | But alas, how terrible is his anger? |
A26344 | But how then doth the Prophet say, that he retaineth not anger? |
A26344 | But more, Be there not some Afflictions, that conduce much to our preservation? |
A26344 | Consider, when had Jacob so sweet a nights rest, as when the pillow he laid his head upon was a hard stone? |

A86947 | How do you know that you do not injoy him? |
A86947 | How nigh me? |
A86947 | How shall we live ▪ say they, else? |
A86947 | How? |
A86947 | I shall answer this, by asking another Question: How did Abel, being dead, speak? |
A86947 | If it be so, that Christ is within us, Then let us confess him with our mouthes; this is our duty, to confess him: Whom? |
A86947 | If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? |
A86947 | If we have sown unto you all spiritual things, is it a great thing, if we shall reap your carnal things? |
A86947 | Is not the same Spirit in one, as in the other? |
A86947 | Is not this good news? |
A86947 | Is there any thing to be seen or learn''d from her? |
A86947 | Is 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? |
A86947 | Just 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? |
A86947 | Let me see you Priests do so: where is there such a spirit as Paul had, among you? |
A86947 | Or I onely and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? |
A86947 | Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? |
A86947 | Or saith not the Law the same also? |
A86947 | Or, who shall descend into the deep? |
A86947 | Say I these things as a man? |
A86947 | Say not in thine heart, Who shall descend into the deep? |
A86947 | The Question is this: Who is he that overcometh the world? |
A86947 | The Word is nigh, Whom? |
A86947 | The priests said not, Where is the Lord? |
A86947 | The 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? |
A86947 | The word of faith, which we preach ▪ What word is that? |
A86947 | Then why do you not rejoyce and sing? |
A86947 | These two things following: First, Who shall ascend into heaven? |
A86947 | This is a paradox, a strange thing: how can a man be crucified, and yet live? |
A86947 | Thus saith the Lord, O priests, that despise my name; and ye say, Wherein have we despised thy Name? |
A86947 | To the first, I ask you this: Is all Truth in learned godly men? |
A86947 | VVhat have you seen the Lord, and are alive? |
A86947 | VVhat is that? |
A86947 | VVhat is the glory? |
A86947 | VVhat, Christ born in Egypt, among the Egyptians, where there is nothing but cruelty, darkness, and bondage? |
A86947 | VVhat, a harlot? |
A86947 | VVhat, have you seen the Lord, and are not dead, and are not undone? |
A86947 | VVhen 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? |
A86947 | VVhere? |
A86947 | VVhy, is there any thing to be seen in Babylon, among the Babylonians? |
A86947 | Wait: who knows but that he may come down in a cloud of darkness into your hrarts? |
A86947 | We are ready to speak it in our hearts, though not in our mouthes, Who shall ascend into heaven? |
A86947 | What are these clouds? |
A86947 | What are those? |
A86947 | What care they for offending the Conscience of Gods people? |
A86947 | What cloud? |
A86947 | What doth the holy Ghost witness? |
A86947 | What greater testimony can there be in Heaven, then the testimony of three? |
A86947 | What is Philistia? |
A86947 | What is Tyre? |
A86947 | What is it to walk in the Name of the Lord? |
A86947 | What is meant by that day? |
A86947 | What is meant by the holy mountains? |
A86947 | What is my reward then? |
A86947 | What is that? |
A86947 | What is that? |
A86947 | What is that? |
A86947 | What is that? |
A86947 | What is that? |
A86947 | What is to be seen in Rahab? |
A86947 | What is to be seen there? |
A86947 | What is to be seen there? |
A86947 | What makes you say so? |
A86947 | What makes you think he is not within you? |
A86947 | What shall we take notice of? |
A86947 | What singers and players on Instruments shall be there? |
A86947 | What then shall it be? |
A86947 | What was Ethiopia? |
A86947 | What, born in that sinful City? |
A86947 | What, make mention of Rahab and Babylon? |
A86947 | What, my God? |
A86947 | What, to me? |
A86947 | Where hadst thou it? |
A86947 | Where is it? |
A86947 | Where is the wise? |
A86947 | Where? |
A86947 | Where? |
A86947 | Where? |
A86947 | Where? |
A86947 | Wherefore? |
A86947 | Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? |
A86947 | Who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk thereof? |
A86947 | Who gave it thee? |
A86947 | Who goeth a warfare at his own charges? |
A86947 | Who is that? |
A86947 | Who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? |
A86947 | Who shall stand when he appeareth? |
A86947 | Why can not you acknowledge it? |
A86947 | Why do you say so? |
A86947 | Why do you say so? |
A86947 | Why is he called the word of faith? |
A86947 | Why should ye fear? |
A86947 | Why shouldst thou seem to be as a man amazed with us, and as a mighty man that can not save us? |
A86947 | Why? |
A86947 | Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar, and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? |
A86947 | Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? |
A86947 | and what is the holy Ghost? |
A86947 | and why the holy Ghost? |
A86947 | and with what body do they come? |
A86947 | is it a great one or not? |
A86947 | is it a truth to your souls? |
A86947 | or in what doth the matter of it consist? |
A86947 | what asking ▪ each other is there amongst them, What is such a Living worth, and such a Living; is it worth any thing? |
A86947 | what is the Son? |
A86947 | what is the reason of it? |
A86947 | where is the disputer of this world? |
A86947 | where is the scribe? |
A86947 | who would not wait, seeing there is no safety in resisting, but in patiently waiting? |
A86947 | why the Son? |
A61251 | ( that is, none can so search him) conclude that he can not so search himself? |
A61251 | A turning to God; Turn ye, turn ye, for why will you die O House of Israel? |
A61251 | After all this, shall we imagine that God hath changed this Precept, which was not Ceremonial, but opposite to Ceremonies? |
A61251 | Against which Conclusion he brings a new Objection thus, Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? |
A61251 | Against which he brings this Objection, Is there Vnrighteousness with God? |
A61251 | Albeit Contracts be by mutual Consent, and that Consent signifies to have the same Thought, yet? |
A61251 | And Jeremiah saith, Who would not fear thee, O King of Nations? |
A61251 | And by what Warrant do they assign them their Tasks, if it were their Duty to worship all, as they do some? |
A61251 | And is there Knowledg in the most High? |
A61251 | And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my Commandments, and my Laws? |
A61251 | And when I further pose my self, whether such a Being will only perform his Promises, reward and punish according to Merit? |
A61251 | Are not the Principles of reasoning inbred in Nature, and freely given of God? |
A61251 | Are 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? |
A61251 | By himself he called Adam and Eve, and asked first Adam, Hast thou eaten of the Tree whereof I commanded thee thou shouldst not eat? |
A61251 | By the Reasonings in Scripture from what is becoming, God doth assure his unchangeable Justice, Shall the Judg of all the Earth do unjustly? |
A61251 | Can any Creature do more than this Command doth require? |
A61251 | Can any Man pretend that the particular Favours that the Saints have always prayed for from God, were all promised by God? |
A61251 | Can 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? |
A61251 | Commutative Justice is not competent to God; For who hath given to him that he should repay? |
A61251 | Could he excuse himself from being the Author of his own Death? |
A61251 | Did not God give the knowledg of Words to Adam and Eve whereby he spoke to them, and they to one another? |
A61251 | For instance, How great Profit and Pleasure hath arisen to Mankind by the Invention of Writing? |
A61251 | For who hath resisted his Will? |
A61251 | For who hath resisted his Will? |
A61251 | God had Mercy on wicked Ahab, and said to the Prophet, Dost thou not see how Ahab humbleth himself? |
A61251 | Hath not the Potter Power over the Clay, of the same Lump, to make one Vessel unto Honour, and another unto Dishonour? |
A61251 | Hence the Folly of Man might be cured, when he thinks, Why did God suffer Sin to come into the World? |
A61251 | How great Addition to Writing hath been by the recent Invention of Printing? |
A61251 | How have some noble Greeks and Romans gloried to become a Sacrifice for the Safety of their Country? |
A61251 | How impudently insolent is it then for any sinful Mortal to claim Celestial Glory, and to be out of hazard of Misery by their own Merit? |
A61251 | How much Profit and Pleasure hath arisen to Mankind by the Invention of Glass, and how strange Improvements have been made of it? |
A61251 | How often doth he shew Mercy to rebellious Israel, remembring Abraham, Isaac and Jacob his Servants, tho by many Generations distant from them? |
A61251 | How unbecoming were it and incongruous to the infinitely blessed and glorious God to express a Lie? |
A61251 | If again I consider, Whether such a Being will ever choose fitted Means for all his Purposes, and do nothing in vain? |
A61251 | If it were not for this inavoidable Instinct, would not the Soul prevent the Pains of Torture and Death? |
A61251 | If some Millions be at once praying to the same Saint, can meer Human Nature be raised to that height to hear all those at once? |
A61251 | If the Saints be adorable, how comes it that every one adores what Saint he pleases, and neglects the rest? |
A61251 | If this Patient continue obstinate, were he not a Self- murderer? |
A61251 | Is it not evidently more consonant to the Wisdom of God, to give Grace only to the Elect at the time of Conversion? |
A61251 | Is it not free for me to do with my own what I please? |
A61251 | Is there any Inconsistency, that that which once existed not, should after exist? |
A61251 | Is there any Promise for these Particulars? |
A61251 | Is there any other Soveraign can pretend these Titles? |
A61251 | Is therefore Man''s reasoning a brute Way? |
A61251 | It had not only been a Folly, but a Fault, to concur with the Atheist or the Ungodly in that Question; How doth God know? |
A61251 | It is excluded; by what Law? |
A61251 | It was the first, and is yet the most general Error, Why did God suffer Sin to enter into the World? |
A61251 | May he not then give a new Sense for spiritual Things? |
A61251 | Might he not have made all his Rational Creatures to be infallible? |
A61251 | Must we thence say, Hitherto my Father decrees, and I decree? |
A61251 | Now when they heard this they were pricked in their Hearts, and said unto Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, Men and Brethren, what shall we do? |
A61251 | O Lord how manifold are thy Works? |
A61251 | Or, why are we bidden to make sure our own Salvation? |
A61251 | Seeing God''s Knowledg is Infinite, it can not be comprehended by any Finite Capacity: Who can search the Almighty to Perfection? |
A61251 | Seest thou how Faith wrought with his Works? |
A61251 | Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
A61251 | Shall we then think that he acteth now in the same way that he did the first six Days? |
A61251 | Shall we therefore, because God hath said, Who can search the Almighty to Perfection? |
A61251 | The Apostle Paul accurately discussing that great Question, Whether Salvation be by Grace or by Works? |
A61251 | The Voluptuous think, Why did God give us Pleasure in such Objects, which results from them so powerfully, that we are not Masters of them? |
A61251 | The meaning can not be, Why doth God find fault that so many are reprobated? |
A61251 | Then comes the Question, In what inward Faculty or Power Liberty resides? |
A61251 | Then he called the Woman, and said to her, What is this that thou hast done? |
A61251 | They hold fast Deceit, they refuse to return; no Man repented him of his Wickedness, saying, What have I done? |
A61251 | This may confute their vain Curiosity, who enquire, why God did not sooner create the World? |
A61251 | Thus Job said, I have made a Covenant with my Eyes, why then should I look upon a Maid? |
A61251 | Thus it''s said, Can the Leopard change his Spots? |
A61251 | To which he answereth thus, Nay, but, O Man, Who art thou that replies against God? |
A61251 | Turn ye, turn ye from your evil Ways; for why will ye die, O House of Israel? |
A61251 | Was there either Necessity or Promise for the Prophet''s stopping the Clouds of Heaven for three Years and six Months? |
A61251 | Were it then possible that from Eternity he should have Good- will and Hatred to the same Person? |
A61251 | What Riches and Strength have the Hollanders arisen to, who at first had but Spots of Ground in the midst of vast Marishes? |
A61251 | What a pitiful Evasion is it, that a graven Image is only forbidden? |
A61251 | What can be more Arbitrary than what Name a Father will give his Child, which himself seldom knoweth many Days before he give it? |
A61251 | What strange Sounds doth the disordered Ear represent? |
A61251 | What then can induce them to deny themselves, and all others one of the most glorious Pearls of the Christian Crown, the Perseverance of Saints? |
A61251 | When Cain killed his Brother Abel, before God pronounced Sentence against him, he calls him, saying, What hast thou done? |
A61251 | When I consider, Whether such a Being will always express his Mind truly, and never deceive? |
A61251 | Where is boasting then? |
A61251 | Wherefore bath the Lord done this unto this great City? |
A61251 | Why he created but one World? |
A61251 | Why is a Plerophory, or full assurance of Salvation held forth in Scripture, if these be unattainable in this Life? |
A61251 | Why no more Kinds? |
A61251 | Will he always call upon God? |
A61251 | Will they be more glorious than the Devils were before they fell? |
A61251 | and for obtaining Rain when there was no second Cause for it? |
A61251 | and his Hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? |
A61251 | and resolve that it is because he is just: And if I yet further inquire, Why is God unchangeably just? |
A61251 | and the Capacity of the like to all his Posterity, if they continued sinless during the time of their Trial? |
A61251 | how unsearchable are his Judgments, and his Way past finding out? |
A61251 | might he not exhort them to accept it? |
A61251 | much less that he should have so many Changes of it? |
A61251 | no more Individuals? |
A61251 | no more Perfections? |
A61251 | of Works? |
A61251 | or was it a brute Way, unbeseeming God? |
A61251 | or, did he express his Purpose to give them? |
A61251 | that is, no Man can resist his Will if he please to soften him: And therefore why doth God complain that so many are hardened? |
A61251 | why hast thou forsaken me? |
A26896 | 1. Who was it that deprived you of your Friend? |
A26896 | Ah 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? |
A26896 | Ah my God, how justly mayest thou withhold that Love which I thus undervalue; and refuse that converse which I have first refused? |
A26896 | And are you grieved that your Friends are taken from your griefs? |
A26896 | And can God do any thing injuriously or amiss? |
A26896 | And can we know another better than our selves? |
A26896 | And 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? |
A26896 | And how apt to give occasion of such mistakes and cutting censures? |
A26896 | And how apt to give occasion of such offence? |
A26896 | And how little Reason then have Christians to shun such sufferings by unlawful means, which turn to their so great advantage? |
A26896 | And is not Eternity long enough for you to enjoy your Friends in? |
A26896 | And is this the difference between the Love of man and of God? |
A26896 | And now those Prayers are answered in their deliverance: And do you now grieve at that which then you prayed for? |
A26896 | And which of us see not reason to be distrustful of our selves? |
A26896 | And worst of all, a place of sin? |
A26896 | And would you have them under these again? |
A26896 | And would you have your Friends to be as far from Rest as you? |
A26896 | And yet am I so loath to die? |
A26896 | Are they not men, and sinners? |
A26896 | Are you better than David that had an Achitophel? |
A26896 | Are you better than God? |
A26896 | Are you better then Iob, or David, or Christ? |
A26896 | Are you not groaning from day to day your selves? |
A26896 | Are you not prone to overvalue and overlove your Friends? |
A26896 | As 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? |
A26896 | As not to fail them? |
A26896 | But can you say, you are alone, while you are with God? |
A26896 | But how is he with us? |
A26896 | But perhaps you will say, that this is not easily attained: How shall we know that he is our friend? |
A26896 | But the most desirable Society is no Solitude: Saith Hierom,[ Infinita cremi vas ● itas te terret? |
A26896 | CHristians, expect to be conformed to your Lord in this part of his Humiliation also: Are your friends yet fast and friendly to you? |
A26896 | Can Faith be any thing but Fancy and Presumption, without Thought and Knowledge? |
A26896 | Can I draw near to judgment? |
A26896 | Can I think of dying? |
A26896 | Can I think of everlasting joys in Heaven? |
A26896 | Can holy Walking be preserved and promoted without love? |
A26896 | Can love to God and Christ, and to the invisible State, be kindled, cherished, and continually advanced without Faith? |
A26896 | Can two walk together except they be agreed? |
A26896 | Can you so much miss them for one day, that must live with them to all Eternity? |
A26896 | Can you take pleasure in dwelling with the consuming fire? |
A26896 | Could I not Love, or Think, or Feel at all, methinks I were less dead than now? |
A26896 | Dare you think that there was wanting either Wisdom or Goodness, Iustice or Mercy in God''s disposal of your Friend? |
A26896 | Did not he that gave him you take him from you? |
A26896 | Did you improve your Friends while you had them? |
A26896 | Did you not often joyn in prayer with them, for deliverance from Malice, Calamities, troubles, imperfections, temptations and Sin? |
A26896 | Do we now pray with fervour, and pour out our Souls enlargedly to God? |
A26896 | Do we now rejoyce in the persuasions of the Love of God? |
A26896 | Do you converse with Father or Mother? |
A26896 | Do you mourn that they are taken hence? |
A26896 | Do you not seem to forget both where you are your selves, and where you must shortly and for ever live? |
A26896 | Do you set more by your own enjoying his company, then by enjoying God in perfect blessedness? |
A26896 | Do you so highly value your Friends for God, or for them, or for your selves, in the final consideration? |
A26896 | Do you think it is for the Hurt or the go ● d of your Friend, that he is removed hence? |
A26896 | Doth it not signifie more than the company of all Men in the world? |
A26896 | Doth the VVorld use your selves so well and kindly, as that you should be sorry that your Friends partake not of the Feast? |
A26896 | Hath my Night no Day? |
A26896 | Have any of them, or all, already failed you? |
A26896 | Have you done that for your nearest friend, which God hath done for him and you, and all men? |
A26896 | He answereth them[ Do ye now believe? |
A26896 | He is with us who is Almighty, sufficient to preserve us, conquerable by none? |
A26896 | How apt are we to censure one another, and to misinterpret the words and actions of our Friends? |
A26896 | How easily can Satan let fire on the Tinder which he findeth in the best and gentlest natures, if God permit him? |
A26896 | How excellent a Man was Gregory Nazianzene, and highly valued in the Church? |
A26896 | How highly was Athanasius esteemed? |
A26896 | How know you what great calamity might have befallen your Friend, if he had lived as long as you desired? |
A26896 | How know you what sin your Friend might have fallen into, if he had lived as long as you would have him? |
A26896 | How know you what unkindness to your self, your dearest friend might have been guilty of? |
A26896 | How little cause then have all the Churches enemies to triumph, that can never shut up a true believer from the presence of his God? |
A26896 | How patiently hath he born with me, since I thought he would never have put up more? |
A26896 | I had almost said[ Lord, let me never Love more till I can Love thee? |
A26896 | If God be God to thee, he is All in all to thee; and then should not his presence be instead of all? |
A26896 | If God can not content me, and be not enough for me, how is he then my God? |
A26896 | If it was for God, what reason of trouble have you, that God hath disposed of them, according to his wisdom and unerring Will? |
A26896 | If so, is not this the meerest Remedy for your Disease? |
A26896 | In many and wonderful preservations and deliverances? |
A26896 | In the conduct of his Wisdom, and in a Life of Mercies? |
A26896 | Is his presence nothing to you? |
A26896 | Is it a matter to be so much lamented that God hath prevented their greater miseries and wo? |
A26896 | Is 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?] |
A26896 | Is the World a place of Rest or trouble to you? |
A26896 | Is this your case? |
A26896 | Less dead, if dead, than now I am alive? |
A26896 | Must unfaithfulness to you be made more hainous, than that unfaithfulness to him, which yet you daily see and slight? |
A26896 | Nor think more on any thing till I can more willingly think of thee?] |
A26896 | O how plainly hath he declared that he loveth me, in the strange condescention, the Sufferings, Death, and Intercession of his Son? |
A26896 | Or can I expect the translation of Henoch or the Chariot of Elias? |
A26896 | Or is their deliverance become your grief? |
A26896 | Or more obliged to me? |
A26896 | Or rather, are you not apter to see and aggravate the wrong that others do to you, than that which you have done to others? |
A26896 | Or what is it now, or like to be hereafter to your selves? |
A26896 | Or will you ever have Rest, if you can not have Rest in the Will of God? |
A26896 | Seneca could say[ Quid prodest totious regionis silentium, si affectus fremunt?] |
A26896 | Shall I have any more Comfort in present friends than in others? |
A26896 | Shall we be ignorant of the members of our Body? |
A26896 | Some will forsake God: what wonder then if they forsake you? |
A26896 | Thy Father loveth thy very moans and Tears: But how much more doth he love thy Thanks and Praise? |
A26896 | Was Christ forsaken in his extremity by his own Disciples, to teach us what to expect, or bear? |
A26896 | Was any friend so near to me as my self? |
A26896 | Was it not God? |
A26896 | Was it not his Lord and Owner that call''d him home? |
A26896 | Was it not to them a place of toil and trouble, of envy and vexation, of enmity and poison? |
A26896 | Was it so good and kind to them, as that you should lament their separation from it? |
A26896 | What Love appeareth in his precious Promises, and the glorious Provisions he hath made for me with himself to all eternity? |
A26896 | What 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? |
A26896 | What Love hath he declared in the course of his Providences? |
A26896 | What comfort can you think such Friends if they had survived, would have ● ound on Earth? |
A26896 | What good doth the silence of all the Country do thee, if thou have the noise of raging affections within?] |
A26896 | What person more generally esteemed and honoured for learning, piety and peaceableness then Melanchthon? |
A26896 | What pleasure is it to see the busles of a Bedlam world? |
A26896 | What was the World to your Friends while they did enjoy it? |
A26896 | When you are almost leaving the World your selves, would you not send your treasure before you to the place where you must abide? |
A26896 | Where should my goods be but in my own house? |
A26896 | Where would you have your Friends, but where you must be your sel ● es? |
A26896 | Who have more tender affections than Mothers to their children? |
A26896 | Who 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? |
A26896 | Why then should I so much regard, a converse of so short continuance? |
A26896 | Why, if they had staid here a thousand years, how little of that time should you have had their Company? |
A26896 | With how much labour and difficulty must you clime, if you will see the top of one of these Mountains? |
A26896 | With whom should I so desirously converse, as with him whom I must live with for ever? |
A26896 | With whom should a servant dwell but with his Master? |
A26896 | Would you not come down, and give place to him that is to follow you, when your part is played, and his is to begin? |
A26896 | Yea, 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? |
A26896 | and Children but with thei ● Father? |
A26896 | and a Wife, but with her Husband? |
A26896 | and are your Friends more firm and unchangeable then theirs? |
A26896 | and come and own thy gasping worm? |
A26896 | and not be concerned in their felicity, with whom we are so nearly one? |
A26896 | and of everlasting pains in Hell, and yet not feel that my greatest business is with God? |
A26896 | and to give so dear as the hazard of their souls by wilful sin, to escape the honour, and safety, and commodity of Martyrdom? |
A26896 | at their home and your home, with their Father, and your Father; their God, and your God? |
A26896 | but if I continue thus to wait, wilt thou never find the time of Love? |
A26896 | especially if it had been long of him? |
A26896 | expect the time when they can not help you: Are they your comforters and delight, and is their company much of your solace upon earth? |
A26896 | nor banish him into such a place where he can not have his conversation in Heaven? |
A26896 | of successive cares and fears and griefs? |
A26896 | or conversing with the most dreadful enemy? |
A26896 | or did you only love them, while you made but little use of them for your Souls? |
A26896 | or how shall he be my Heaven and everlasting H ● ppiness? |
A26896 | or promise more concerning him? |
A26896 | or than Christ that had a Iudas? |
A26896 | or than Paul that had a Domas? |
A26896 | or who shall condemn us when it is he that justifieth us? |
A26896 | should you not then be more pleased that God hath them, and employeth them in his highest service, than displeased that you want them? |
A26896 | what a stir they make to prove or make themselves unhappy? |
A26896 | what wonder? |
A26896 | why could not you have yeilded in so small a matter?] |
A26896 | will you not give him leave to do as he list with his own? |
A26896 | wilt thou never dissipate these clouds, and shine upon this dead and darkened soul? |
A26896 | with Pastors and Teachers? |
A26896 | with Wives or Children? |
A26896 | yet 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? |
A62636 | All 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? |
A62636 | And again, Canst thou by searching find out God? |
A62636 | And can there be a greater affront to the Goodness and Justice of God, than to imagin he should deal with men after this manner? |
A62636 | And did not he foretel the Destruction of Jerusalem 40 Years before? |
A62636 | And if ye salute your Brethren only, what do ye more than others? |
A62636 | And is a Man easilier made by Chance, than his Picture? |
A62636 | And is there any thing of real Advantage which is not comprehended in this? |
A62636 | And they say, how doth God know? |
A62636 | And to mention no more, is it an Imperfection to be in any respect mutable? |
A62636 | And 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? |
A62636 | And what signifie the Laws and Promises of God, unless natural Light do first assure us of his Soveraign Authority and Faithfulness? |
A62636 | And 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? |
A62636 | Are ye not then partial in your selves, and become judges of evil thoughts? |
A62636 | Art thou a Man, and the son of Man, and wilt thou assume to thy self the Prerogative of God? |
A62636 | As we have all our Knowledge from him; what have we that we have not received? |
A62636 | But it may here be Objected; Did not the Oracles among the Heathens foretel several things, which Christians are satisfied came from the Devil? |
A62636 | But none saith, where is God my maker, who giveth Songs in the night? |
A62636 | But to what purpose, may some say, is this long Description and Discourse of happiness? |
A62636 | By what Authority then does his Vicar do these things? |
A62636 | Can a man be profitable to God? |
A62636 | Can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him? |
A62636 | Can any man believe this that hath any tolerable notion of God''s Goodness? |
A62636 | Can''st thou find out the Almighty to perfection? |
A62636 | Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing? |
A62636 | Do ye think the Holy and Just God will put up these Affronts, and Indignities? |
A62636 | Dost thou know the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge? |
A62636 | Doth God pervert Judgment, or doth the Almighty pervert Justice? |
A62636 | Doth God pervert Judgment? |
A62636 | Doth he not see my ways, and count all my steps? |
A62636 | Fear and Shame from Men lay a great restraint upon our outward Actions; but how licentious are we many times in our Hearts? |
A62636 | For if ye love them which love you, what reward have you? |
A62636 | For 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? |
A62636 | For 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? |
A62636 | For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellor? |
A62636 | God 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? |
A62636 | God 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? |
A62636 | He said unto them, why are ye troubled? |
A62636 | He that planted the Ear, shall he not hear? |
A62636 | Hell and Destruction are before him, how much more the hearts of the Children of Men? |
A62636 | How are the Life and Death of the Messias, with many particular Circumstances foretold? |
A62636 | How are we the Wiser and the Better for it? |
A62636 | How long might a Man sprinkle Oil and Colours upon Canvas, with a careless Hand, before this would produce the exact Picture of a Man? |
A62636 | How long, O Lord, holy and true? |
A62636 | How long, O Lord, holy and true? |
A62636 | How many things are there which we can not find out without search, without looking narrowly into, and bending our Minds to understand them? |
A62636 | I say unto you, Take no thought for your lives, what ye shall eat,& c. Is not the life more than meat? |
A62636 | I will take heed to my way, while the wicked is before me; how much more in the presence of God? |
A62636 | If the word spoken by Angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; how shall we escape? |
A62636 | If thou art righteous, what givest thou him? |
A62636 | If thou believest that he is Light, what Security is Darkness to thee? |
A62636 | If thou sinnest, what dost thou against him? |
A62636 | Is it Wit to set our selves against Reason, and to oppose our best Interest? |
A62636 | Is it an Imperfection to countenance Sin? |
A62636 | Is it an Imperfection to go from ones word, or to change ones mind? |
A62636 | Is it an Imperfection to tempt, or to be tempted to Sin? |
A62636 | Is 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? |
A62636 | Is it fit to say to a King, thou art Wicked? |
A62636 | Is 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? |
A62636 | Is it worth the while to advance such senseless Opinions as these, to deny the Wisdom of God? |
A62636 | Is not sin contrary to the Holy Nature of God? |
A62636 | Is there then unrighteousness with God? |
A62636 | Many say, who will shew us any good? |
A62636 | Nothing more evident than the Sin of Adam; yet God fore- knew this; how else was Christ decreed before the Foundation of the World? |
A62636 | Now how is this agreable to justice? |
A62636 | Now how is this deferring and turning away of judgment consistent with the Truth of God? |
A62636 | Now shall we continue in Sin, when we know, the Son of God was manifested to take away Sin? |
A62636 | Now what could more tend to discountenance Sin, and convince us of the great evil of it? |
A62636 | Of what use would all the Mines of Metal have been, and of Coal, and the Quarries of Stone? |
A62636 | Peradventure there be fifty Righteous within the City, wilt thou also destroy, and not spare the place for the fifty Righteous that are therein? |
A62636 | Put the case we had the entire ordering and disposal of our selves, what were reasonable for us to do in this case? |
A62636 | Righteous 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? |
A62636 | Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
A62636 | Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
A62636 | Shall not the Judge of all the world do right? |
A62636 | Should he now, without any satisfaction to his offended Justice, pardon the Sinner, remit his Punishment, and receive him to favour? |
A62636 | There is one law- giver, that is able to save and to destroy; who art thou that judgest another? |
A62636 | This Negative Interrogation is equivalent to a vehement affirmation, shall not the Judge all the Earth do right? |
A62636 | This is imply''d in the Answer to that Question, Who can know the heart of man? |
A62636 | To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices to me? |
A62636 | Unless it be naturally known to us, that God is true, what foundation is there for the belief of his Word? |
A62636 | Vnderstand ye Brutish among the People, and ye Fools when will ye be wise? |
A62636 | Was 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? |
A62636 | What an impotent and ineffectual thing would Power be without Knowledge? |
A62636 | What can expiate the guilt of sin, if the Blood of Christ do not? |
A62636 | What could a Christian say more or better, by way of resignation of himself to the Providence of God? |
A62636 | What shall take us off from sin, what shall sanctifie us, if the blood of the Covenant be ineffectual? |
A62636 | What shall we say then, is there unrighteousness with God? |
A62636 | What shall we say then? |
A62636 | What would all the vast bodies of Trees have served for, if Man had not been to build with them, and make Dwellings of them? |
A62636 | When thou art ready anxiously and solicitously to say, what shall I do for the necessaries of Life? |
A62636 | Which of you, by taking thought, can add one cubit to his stature? |
A62636 | Who can tell the utmost of what Omnipotent Justice can do to sinners? |
A62636 | Who knoweth the power of thine anger? |
A62636 | Who should observe the Motions of the Stars, and the Courses of those Heavenly Bodies, and all the Wonders of Nature? |
A62636 | Who teacheth us more than the Beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the Fowls of Heaven? |
A62636 | Whom should we trust rather than Infinite Wisdom which manageth and directs Infinite Goodness and Power? |
A62636 | Why art thou cast down, O my Soul? |
A62636 | Why callest thou me good? |
A62636 | Why do we take too much upon us? |
A62636 | Why should Unbelief be counted a piece of Wit? |
A62636 | Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, and ten thousands of rivers of Oil? |
A62636 | Wilt thou also destroy the Righteous, with the Wicked? |
A62636 | Wilt thou destroy the righteous with the wicked? |
A62636 | Would the Beasts of the Field study Astronomy, or turn Chymists, and try Experiments in Nature? |
A62636 | Would the Beasts of the Forest have built themselves Palaces, or would they have made Fires in their Dens? |
A62636 | Would the Mole have admired the fine Gold? |
A62636 | Would you be like God? |
A62636 | Zeno pretends to demonstrate there is no Motion; and what is the consequence of this Speculation, but that Men must stand still? |
A62636 | and he that keepeth thy soul, doth he not know it? |
A62636 | and said, that the sinner shall die, that he will not acquit the guilty, nor let sin go unpunish''d? |
A62636 | and seeth his Brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? |
A62636 | and the body than rayment? |
A62636 | and where is the place of understanding? |
A62636 | and who gave him this Authority? |
A62636 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
A62636 | and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? |
A62636 | do not even the Publicans so? |
A62636 | do not even the Publicans the same? |
A62636 | doth not this seem to charge him with false- hood or levity? |
A62636 | hath he said it, and shall not he bring it to pass? |
A62636 | hath he said it, and shall not he bring it to pass? |
A62636 | hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? |
A62636 | hath not he declared his Infinite hatred of it? |
A62636 | hath not he threatned it with heavy and dreadful Punishment? |
A62636 | he that formed the Eye, shall he not see? |
A62636 | he that formed the Eye, shall he not see? |
A62636 | he that planted the Ear, shall he not hear? |
A62636 | he that teacheth Man Knowledge, shall not he know? |
A62636 | how art thou alone, if thou believest that God is every where? |
A62636 | how can''st thou retire from him? |
A62636 | how canst thou shut him out? |
A62636 | how much less to him that accepteth not the Persons of Princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? |
A62636 | how shall God at once express his Love to the Sinner, and his hatred to sin? |
A62636 | is it not a known Rule, Noxa caput sequitur, Mischief pursues the Sinner? |
A62636 | is proportionably true in this case; there is but one that knows the heart; who art thou then that judgest another Man''s heart? |
A62636 | is there knowledge in the most high? |
A62636 | is there unrighteousness with God? |
A62636 | meaning the good things of this World, Corn, and Wine, and Oil; But wouldst thou be happy indeed? |
A62636 | or doth the Almighty pervert Justice? |
A62636 | or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what dost thou unto him? |
A62636 | or is it a gain to him, that thou makest thy way perfect? |
A62636 | or to Princes, ye are ungodly? |
A62636 | or what receiveth he of thine hand? |
A62636 | or whether they were baptized into the name of Paul? |

A62636 | that judgest another''s heart? |
A62636 | what a strange freedom do we take within our own Breasts? |
A62636 | what irregular things would it produce? |

A62636 | what untoward Combinations of Effects would there be, if infinite Power were let loose to act without the Conduct of Knowledge and Vnderstanding? |
A62636 | why does not thy Blood rise in thy Face? |
A62636 | why dost thou seek Darkness and Retirement? |
A62636 | why should not Shame and Fear work, upon the apprehension of God''s seeing us, as if men did behold us? |
A62636 | would this be agreeable to his Holiness, and Justice, and Truth? |
A05370 | After 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? |
A05370 | After this Pliny thus expostulateth: Quae dementia& c. VVhat folly is it to maintaine, that life is iterated, and begun againe by meanes of death? |
A05370 | Againe he questioneth; Quid agit? |
A05370 | All which things how far dissonant and estrāged they are from reason, who seeth not? |
A05370 | And euen in some of those, which haue but a very small body, how shrill and piercing is the sound they make? |
A05370 | And frō whēce procedeth this necessity? |
A05370 | And how great variety is there of them according to the variety of their kinds? |
A05370 | And how imperfect and narrow an vnderstanding should he haue, that could not attend to all thinges, which doe fall out in the world? |
A05370 | And how much care is taken for the tyme to come, and yet they want all knowledge of the tyme to come? |
A05370 | And if it be so, how then can the world continue, especially seing it consisteth of so different, contrary and repugnant things? |
A05370 | And to come to ● ihes: How fitly and proportionatly are then bodies framed to lyue in the Element of water? |
A05370 | And what incōsolable griefe doth afflict them for the tyme? |
A05370 | And what may be the reason thereof? |
A05370 | B. Quae haec summa delicti, nolle illum agnoscere, quem ignorare non p ● ● ● is? |
A05370 | But 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? |
A05370 | But to descend to Plants; what exceeding beauty is in all kynd of Plants? |
A05370 | But what great pro ● ● doth ryse by Nauigation to Man? |
A05370 | But what is this, but mere doting madnes, and want of reasō? |
A05370 | But 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? |
A05370 | Can 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? |
A05370 | Do you see all these things? |
A05370 | For from whence is it knowne, that they are forged? |
A05370 | For frō whence proced the most swift reuolutions of the heauens, but from his power and wisedome? |
A05370 | For how can he want reason, vnderstanding, and will, who first made and gaue reason, vnderstāding and will? |
A05370 | For how great is the power of the senses? |
A05370 | For if the soule be with- houlde in the body as in a prison, why then doth it so much feare and auoid death? |
A05370 | For if the soules be parcels of God, how can they be dissolued with fyre? |
A05370 | For what can the opinion of a cōpany of poore mortall men aduantage me? |
A05370 | For what diuersity of formes are found in them? |
A05370 | For what good doth man reape by liuing a short tyme in so many afflictions of mynd and body? |
A05370 | For why should the authours willingly stand obnoxious to so great a sacriledge? |
A05370 | From a formeles seed, so fayre and so seuerall kynds of bodyes both of liuing Creatures and of Plants should be framed? |
A05370 | From a small roote so huge trees should grow? |
A05370 | From whence are the structures of so many liuing Creatures,& their multiplicious and wonderful formes? |
A05370 | From whence hath the soule separated its cogitation or discourse? |
A05370 | From whence hath the soule separated seeing and hearing? |
A05370 | Furthermore, if Soules for a certayne tyme can subsist without a body, why can they not for euer continue so? |
A05370 | Good God, how much art is in their structure and making,& how much wit? |
A05370 | How are they accoūt ● ● among the children of God, and their portion ● ● among the Saintes? |
A05370 | How easy, expedite, and quicke functions and motions haue they? |
A05370 | How far of doth the eye penetrate in a moment, viewing all things& apprehending the formes of them, and expressing them in it selfe? |
A05370 | How forcible is the power of smelling in dogs, Vultures,& many other such like? |
A05370 | How great is the difference of their sound and voyces? |
A05370 | How pleasant is the beauty of their wings? |
A05370 | How pleasingly do they apparell and cloath the earth? |
A05370 | How sweet is the singng of some of them? |
A05370 | How then cā any one call into question, but that this world first had a most excellent and wise artificer and workeman? |
A05370 | I say to acknowledge no good of the soule without the senses is incident to swyne and beasts, not to Philosophers: next, Quae deinde sedes? |
A05370 | If then this should be so, where is iustice? |
A05370 | If these things happen in the greene wood, what shall become of the dry wood? |
A05370 | If this house of the world belong not to this Cause, why then doth it assume the regiment thereof? |
A05370 | If we come next to Emmets or Ants, what s ● dulity and industry is found in them? |
A05370 | In the next place Pliny demandeth, Cur corpus& c. why the body followeth and coueteth the soule? |
A05370 | Neither 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? |
A05370 | Next asketh Pliny; Quomodo visus& auditus? |
A05370 | Next he asketh: Quanta multitud ●& c. how great a multitude is there of soules, as of shadowes for so many ages? |
A05370 | Now for the Romans, with what sweating, paynes, and labours did they rise and grow dreadfull? |
A05370 | Now from whence doth this come? |
A05370 | Now how great industry and Prouidence is found in this worke? |
A05370 | Now 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? |
A05370 | Now 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? |
A05370 | Now what can the mynd cōceaue ● ore horrible and dreadfull then this? |
A05370 | Now what greater benignity and fauour can be conceaued, then to spare ten thousands wicked persons for the sakes often holy men liuing among them? |
A05370 | Now what is more pleasing to the eye of Man, then those blewish and purple colours of the Heauens? |
A05370 | Now who is so simple, that would belieue this? |
A05370 | Now, how vast& spacious are those entrances, which are capable of so innumerable formes? |
A05370 | Now, it we consider the externall and outward parts of liuing Creatures; how wonderfu ● ly is euery part appropriated to its peculiar v ● e& end? |
A05370 | Now, who seeth not, that all these things are thus purposely disposed and framed with wonderfull wisedome& consideration? |
A05370 | Of whom by retortiō I demand, what do other spirits and incorporeall substances? |
A05370 | Or finally how cā they be depraued with so many facinorous crymes and impieties? |
A05370 | Or he that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
A05370 | Or how can that be of it selfe, which is extinguished& perished with so great a facility? |
A05370 | Or what can their speaches and words auaile me? |
A05370 | Or what greater prints, or intimations of Omnipotency can be, then these are? |
A05370 | Or what power& vertue gaue this saltnes to it, and to what end? |
A05370 | Or what vse is there of it? |
A05370 | Or where Iustice? |
A05370 | Or whither shall I flie from thy presence? |
A05370 | Or who brought thē into the world? |
A05370 | Or why is it so grieuous to the soule to be disioyned and separated from the body? |
A05370 | Or with what hope or reward should they vndergo the aspersion of so foule a blemish? |
A05370 | Pliny proceedeth yet further: Quid sine sensibus bonum? |
A05370 | QVo ibo a spiritu tuo,& quo a facie tua fugiam? |
A05370 | Quid ista sic diligis& c. Why dost thou so loue these terrene and earthly things, as if they were thine owne? |
A05370 | Seutin?] |
A05370 | She conceaueth the aptnes of her web to hold fast with the fynenes of the threed? |
A05370 | Si ascendero in caelum& c. Whither shall I goe from thy spirit? |
A05370 | Since otherwise where should the Prouidance of God be? |
A05370 | The Prophet therfore truly said, Qui plantauit aurem& c. He which planted the eare, shall he not heare? |
A05370 | Then saith he, Vbi cogitatio illi? |
A05370 | Therefore how great& bewitching is the pulchritud ● and splendour of these soules, in whom all these perfections are secretly and simply included? |
A05370 | Therfore what madnes and blyndnes of mynd it is( for some few weake& sleighty reasons) to imbrace the contrary opinion? |
A05370 | Thē the which proceeding what can be imagined more exorbitant, or lesse agreable with reason? |
A05370 | Thou maist heere reply, from whence then procedeth it, that almost all men are ouerruled with the desire of praise and glory? |
A05370 | To conclude, seeing there are many spirits( as is shewed aboue) I would here demand, from whence this multitude had its begining? |

A56856 | Why art thou thus inquisitive? |
A56856 | Why dost thou deprive Thy self of comfort, comforts that will heal Th''exulcerous sores of thy distemper''d weal? |
A56856 | Will he that is betray''d Affect the Traytor, and with patience sue For reconcilement, when as death is due? |
A56856 | Will no flaming dart Of true affection enter? |
A56856 | Will not the eye of Heav''n be pleas''d to shine Upon his Soul, but leave him in the brine Of his own sins? |
A56856 | Will nothing move The much incensed Soul of Heav''n to love? |
A56856 | Wilt thou imprint Thy Soul with baseness? |
A56856 | Wilt thou invoke Perpetual Vengeance to intail a stroke Upon thy stubborn heart? |
A56856 | Yet can not I Invite thee to my sweet eternity? |
A56856 | and is there no relief? |
A56856 | and must my groans be heard With disrespect by him, whose tongue affords Nothing but grief, involv''d with bitter words? |
A56856 | and shall not Man divulge A gratefulness to him, whose hand prepares To wipe away his sin- polluted cares? |
A56856 | and shall not we Applaud that hand which set such pris''ners free? |
A56856 | and what Not fearing thee, Lord, fear I not? |
A56856 | be''t known, sad wretch, I scorn To love a thing so base, so vile, forlorn; And if I can not love, how can it be, That I can pity such a worm as thee? |
A56856 | because her pleasure Can guild thy wanton eye? |
A56856 | didst thou long, because thou wert forbid? |
A56856 | didst thou think to shrowd Thy self from vengeance? |

A62579 | 90. Who knoweth the power of thy anger? |
A62579 | Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? |
A62579 | And I. I ask the Sinner if he will stand to this? |
A62579 | And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, When shall these things be? |
A62579 | And can we stand out against his earnest desire of our happiness, whom we have so often and so long provoked to make us miserable? |
A62579 | And do not the terrible threatnings of God against sin declare him to be highly offended at it? |
A62579 | And does not this plainly argue, that they are guilty to themselves, that they are about something which they ought not to do? |
A62579 | And is it not a greater mercy that we never felt it? |
A62579 | And is not this an argument of God''s patience, that the glorious Majesty of Heaven should bear such multiplied indignities from such vile Worms? |
A62579 | And 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? |
A62579 | And is this any real Objection against the long- suffering of God? |
A62579 | And must he be charged with our ruin, because he seeks by all means to prevent it? |
A62579 | And should not this goodness of his make us sorry that we have offended him? |
A62579 | And then how hard do we find it to forgive those who have injured us? |
A62579 | And this may suffice for answer to the first Objection, if God be so good, whence then comes evil? |
A62579 | And treasurest up to thy self wrath against the day of wrath, and the revelation of the righteous judgment of God? |
A62579 | And what was the issue of all this? |
A62579 | And who may stand before thee when thou art angry? |
A62579 | Are not two Sparrows sold for a Farthing? |
A62579 | Are these the best returns which the infinite Mercy and Patience of God hath deserved from us? |
A62579 | Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to minister for them, who shall be heirs of Salvation? |
A62579 | Art not thou from everlasting? |
A62579 | At the best, how unfit are we for the most serious work of our lives, when we are hardly fit to do any thing? |
A62579 | Because Men are apt to abuse the Mercies and Favours of God, is it therefore a fault in him to bestow them upon us? |
A62579 | Because he doth nothing against thee for the present, thinkest thou he can do nothing? |
A62579 | Because it hath not yet overtaken us, therefore to go forth and meet it? |
A62579 | Because there is yet a possibility of escaping it, therefore to take a certain course to make it unavoidable? |
A62579 | Because there is yet hope concerning us, therefore to make our case desperate and past remedy? |
A62579 | Behold 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? |
A62579 | Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit, and find none; cut it down; why cumbreth it the ground? |
A62579 | But 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? |
A62579 | But what use do Men commonly make of it? |
A62579 | But whoso hath this worlds goods, and seeth his brother have need,& c. how dwelleth the love of God in him? |
A62579 | By denying submission to his Laws, we question his Omnipresence, and say, Doth God see? |
A62579 | Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? |
A62579 | Can any Man in earnest think, that God who is a Spirit is pleased with the pompous bravery and pageantry which affects our Senses? |
A62579 | Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him, saith the Lord? |

A62579 | Canst thou find out the Almighty, usque ad ultima, to the very last and utmost of him? |
A62579 | Canst 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? |
A62579 | Canst thou pierce into the center of his Perfections, and dive into the bottom of them? |
A62579 | Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of? |
A62579 | Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? |

A62579 | Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, not knowing that the goodness of God leads to repentance? |
A62579 | Do we not remember how God spared us in such a danger, when we gave our selves for lost? |
A62579 | Do we not see, that many times the battel is not to the strong? |
A62579 | Do we thus requite the Lord, foolish people and unwise? |
A62579 | Does 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? |
A62579 | Dost thou fear man that shall die, and the son of man that shall be made as grass? |

A62579 | Dost 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? |
A62579 | Doth Christ weep over impenitent Sinners, because they will not know the things of their peace? |
A62579 | Doth a Fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? |
A62579 | Doth it not naturally lead and invite us to repentance? |
A62579 | Doth not he condescend so low as to represent himself afflicted for the miseries of Men, and to rejoyce in the conversion of a Sinner? |
A62579 | Doth not the Lord''s Prayer teach us to say, Our Father which art in heaven? |
A62579 | First, Whether an actual intention of God''s Glory be necessary to make every Action that we do, good and acceptable to God? |
A62579 | For who hath known the mind of the Lord? |
A62579 | For 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? |
A62579 | Have they not many checks and rebukes in their own Spirits, much disturbance and confusion of Mind, when they are enterprising a wicked thing? |
A62579 | Having begun in the spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? |
A62579 | He is mighty in strength; excellent in power; who is like unto him? |
A62579 | He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? |
A62579 | He 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? |
A62579 | How can we conceive of God, but as of an Eternal Being? |
A62579 | How careless have we been of our own happiness, and what pains have we taken to undo our selves? |
A62579 | How do anger and revenge boyl within us? |
A62579 | How do we upbraid Men with their faults? |
A62579 | How doth God condescend in those pathetical Expressions, which he useth concerning his People? |
A62579 | How great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty? |
A62579 | How is God with us; How does he pitch his Tabernacle among Men; if his essential Presence be confin''d to Heaven? |
A62579 | How is it consistent with the goodness of God, to permit so great an Evil as this to come into the World? |
A62579 | How is that? |
A62579 | How long shall the workers of iniquity boast themselves? |
A62579 | How 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? |
A62579 | How many things must concur to make our hearts tender, and melt our spirits, and stir our bowels, to make us pitiful and compassionate? |
A62579 | How mindful of an Injury? |

A62579 | How precious are thy thoughts unto me? |
A62579 | How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A62579 | How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A62579 | If 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? |
A62579 | Is God good to us? |
A62579 | Is God so good to his Creatures? |
A62579 | Is he grieved that Men will undo themselves, and will not be saved? |
A62579 | Is he not said to come down and draw near to us, and to be afar off from us? |
A62579 | Is he not said to look down from heaven, and to hear in heaven his dwelling- place? |
A62579 | Is it any contradiction, that the same thing should be three and one in several respects? |
A62579 | Is it not enough for us to abuse them, but will we challenge God also of unkindness in giving them? |
A62579 | Is it not enough to be injurious to our selves, but will we be unthankful to God also? |
A62579 | Is it not said that he doth not dwell in temples made with hands? |
A62579 | Is 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? |
A62579 | It 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? |
A62579 | Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? |
A62579 | Knowing 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? |
A62579 | Lo these are part of his ways: But how little a portion is heard of him? |
A62579 | Lord, what shall this man do? |
A62579 | May not God be patient, tho''Sinners be impenitent? |
A62579 | May not God use wise and fitting means for our recovery, because we are so foolish as not to make a wise use of them? |
A62579 | May not he be good, tho''we be so foolish as to make an ill use of his goodness? |
A62579 | None saith, Where is God my Maker? |
A62579 | None saith, where is God my maker? |
A62579 | Now can Evil come from a Good God? |
A62579 | Now how does this agree with his Immensity and Omnipresence? |
A62579 | Now what a folly is this, because punishment doth not come, therefore to hasten it, and to draw it down upon our selves? |
A62579 | Now 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? |
A62579 | Now what application doth our Saviour make of this? |
A62579 | Now what saith the Lord to him? |
A62579 | Now what use ought we in reason to make of this Patience of God towards us? |
A62579 | Now where did St. Paul write so, unless in this Text; Not knowing that the goodness of God leads to repentance? |
A62579 | O Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean? |
A62579 | Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again? |
A62579 | Peter comes to him, and asks him, How often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? |
A62579 | See how unreasonably Men bring ruin upon themselves; so that well might the Psalmist ask that Question, Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? |
A62579 | Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself? |
A62579 | Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee? |
A62579 | Some degree of this was in the Temple, which is the reason of Solomon''s Admiration, will God indeed dwell on Earth? |
A62579 | The first Question is undoubtedly general, concerning the Nature and Perfections of God in general; Canst thou by searching find out God? |
A62579 | The 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? |
A62579 | They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they commune of laying snares privately; for they say, Who shall see them? |
A62579 | This the Psalmist observes here, Where shall I go from thy Spirit? |
A62579 | This you have expressed here in the words of Zophar, Canst thou by searching find out God? |
A62579 | Thou canst not comprehend the Divine Nature and Perfections in general; Canst thou find out the Almighty to Perfection? |
A62579 | Thou even thou art to be feared, and who may stand before thee when thou art angry? |
A62579 | Thus natural Light would reason, and so the King of Nineveh, a Heathen, reasons, Who can tell if God will turn and repent? |

A62579 | To whom will ye liken God? |

A62579 | What have we to be proud of? |
A62579 | What is become of that Declaration of Christ so frequently repeated in the Gospel, concerning his coming to Judgment? |
A62579 | What may we not hope and assuredly expect from immense and boundless goodness? |
A62579 | What 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? |
A62579 | What reason have we then thankfully to acknowledge and admire the Mercy of God to us? |
A62579 | What vile and low Submission do we require of them, before we will receive them into Favour, and grant them Peace? |
A62579 | When God hath laid out the riches of his goodness and patience upon Sinners, will they challenge him as accessory to their ruin? |
A62579 | When 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? |
A62579 | When any evil or misery is upon us, would we not reckon it a mercy to be rescued and delivered from it? |
A62579 | When he seemed resolved upon it, to destroy the murmuring Israelites, yet how often, at the intercession of Moses, did he turn away his wrath? |
A62579 | When shall these things be? |
A62579 | When thanks is all God expects from us, can we not afford to give him that? |
A62579 | Where is the sounding of thy bowels, and of thy mercies, are they restrained? |
A62579 | Where then is cause of boasting? |
A62579 | Where then is your happy and eternal Being, by which two Epithets you express God? |
A62579 | Wherefore do the wicked live, yea become old? |
A62579 | Wherefore doth the wicked live, yea, become old? |
A62579 | Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? |
A62579 | Wherefore if God so cloath the grass of the field, shall he not much more cloath you? |
A62579 | Wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue? |
A62579 | Whether the Glory of God may, or ought to be considered, as an End separate and distinct from our own Happiness? |

A62579 | Why art thou cast down, O my soul? |
A62579 | Why boasteth thou thy self in mischief, O mighty man? |
A62579 | Why should they be smitten any more? |
A62579 | Why then is God represented to us so often in Scripture by the Parts and Members of Mens Bodies? |
A62579 | Why will ye dye, O house of Israel? |
A62579 | Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? |
A62579 | Will ye provoke the Lord to jealousie? |
A62579 | and canst thou think he will not pardon thee upon thy repentance? |
A62579 | and canst thou think that he is unwilling to forgive? |
A62579 | and how he recovered us in such a sickness, when the Physician gave us up for gone? |
A62579 | and is not the wrath of the Eternal God much more terrible? |
A62579 | and is there knowledge in the most high? |
A62579 | and shall not we believe that he is in good earnest? |
A62579 | and the thunder of his voice who can understand? |
A62579 | and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? |
A62579 | and what use we made of this Patience and long- suffering of God towards us? |
A62579 | and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so? |
A62579 | and where is the place of my rest? |
A62579 | and who hath been his counsellour? |
A62579 | and why art thou so disquieted within me? |
A62579 | and, Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection? |
A62579 | are ye stronger than he? |
A62579 | but thou mayst be surprized by a sudden stroke which may give thee no warning, leave thee no space of repentance? |
A62579 | canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? |
A62579 | do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? |
A62579 | for who hath resisted his Will? |
A62579 | how great is the sum of them? |

A62579 | l. 1. saith to the Epicureans, ubi igitur vestrum beatum& aeternum quibus duobus verbis significatis deum? |
A62579 | or as the word may be rendred, to them that were disobedient? |
A62579 | or the Son of man, that thou visitest him? |
A62579 | or what likeness will ye compare to him? |
A62579 | or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
A62579 | or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
A62579 | put it as a strange question, will God indeed dwell on the earth? |
A62579 | that he who is our great Benefactor should put up such affronts from those who depend upon his bounty, and are maintained at his charge? |
A62579 | that 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? |
A62579 | that he, in whose hands our breath is, should suffer Men to breath out Oaths, and Curses, and Blasphemies against him? |
A62579 | that in the last days there should come scoffers, who should walk after their own hearts lusts, saying, Where is the promise of his coming? |
A62579 | that is to Judgment; and of the end of the world? |
A62579 | till seven times? |

A30577 | And if they should say, But how can this deliverance be here? |
A30577 | And is not our Army to save Parl& people from Cut- throats? |
A30577 | And 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? |

A30577 | Art not thou he that hast cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? |
A30577 | As if the Lord should say, What? |
A30577 | Babylon is strong, who shall bring downe her power? |
A30577 | Be not therefore daunted with such words as those, What? |
A30577 | Because 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? |
A30577 | Behold, 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? |
A30577 | But above all Objections this sticks most with us, Doth not the Scripture straitly charge us not to touch Gods Anointed? |
A30577 | But 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? |
A30577 | But 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? |
A30577 | But do not our adversaries grow stronger then we? |
A30577 | But doth not the King professe that he will maintain the Protestant Religion, and governe onely by the Laws? |
A30577 | But even in the Houses, are not things carryed on in a Faction? |
A30577 | But 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? |
A30577 | But how miserable then will it be for them, when God curses them for the present, and when their soules are taken away at last? |
A30577 | But howsoever were it not better to harken to peace, if possibly there may be wayes of Accommodation? |
A30577 | But if Parliaments should degenerate and grow tyrannicall, what meanes of safety could there be for a State? |
A30577 | But 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? |
A30577 | But is not this a Popish tenet, that in case of Religion Subjects may rise up against their King? |
A30577 | But may we go against the command of the King? |
A30577 | But now because some troubles arise, because we see war in our gates, how vile& unworthy are the spirits of many? |
A30577 | But the question is, Whether no breach of Covenant may possibly in any case make a forfeiture? |
A30577 | But then you say, What would they have more? |
A30577 | But what if authority be abused, may we resist? |
A30577 | But what if the King will not keepe to his agreement, may the Subject doe nothing? |
A30577 | But what if the Kingdom be got by Conquest,& the right come in that way? |
A30577 | But what is all this for the satisfaction to conscience about the Lawfulnesse or unlawfulnesse of resisting men that have power in any case? |
A30577 | But what is that? |
A30577 | But what is this bondage, that the spirit of a Christian will not, should not beare? |
A30577 | But 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? |
A30577 | But what would the Lords or Commons have? |
A30577 | But why is it used so frequently in that Prophecie more then others? |
A30577 | But yet it may further be said, Grant the Parliament to be the Judge, how can it judge without the King? |
A30577 | Can Babylon bee destroyed? |
A30577 | Can the D. or any man think, that in justifying Arms in some case, we justifie all villanous conspiracies and out- rages? |
A30577 | Christians, do not you professe God to be your Father? |
A30577 | Did they even in times of Popery ever seek to blow up Parliament houses, as Papists have done? |
A30577 | Did they ever plot any Treason, as Papists have done from time to time? |
A30577 | Doe we heare of their pride and blasphemies? |
A30577 | Doe you know who they are you thus abuse? |
A30577 | From whence is this? |
A30577 | God here speaks angerly, What am I the Lord of Hosts, and will you offer this? |
A30577 | God will leave heaven to fight for his Church; will not you leave your shops and your houses? |
A30577 | Hath God made all the world to bee under the lusts of twenty or thirty men? |
A30577 | Here you see Babylon must down, and yet the Kings lament her fall: Who then must pull her down but the people? |
A30577 | How can this Obiection, without wrangling, be admitted? |
A30577 | How many men, who think themselves great, demeane themselves as if they thought themselves above Gods Commandments? |
A30577 | How should Elisha slay, but by his prayers? |
A30577 | How was all stilled now? |
A30577 | How was this made good, that no weapon formed against thee shall prosper? |
A30577 | I demand, what first invested such a Family with Regall power, more then another? |
A30577 | If God had called for the sword before these things, what had become of us? |
A30577 | If any thing for the Kings prerogative were propounded by some, and followed by others, dare any accuse the proceedings to be factious? |
A30577 | If in this cause you should turn your backes upon your enemies, with what face could you ever after look upon your friends? |
A30577 | If it be spoiled, what is my life worth? |
A30577 | If men by hypocriticall devises should gaine as they desire, yet when God takes away their souls, what good have they then? |
A30577 | If mens consciences be not satisfied in these things, what shal they do? |
A30577 | If the Prophets exhorted not to resistance, then there may be no resistance, sayes the Doctor? |
A30577 | If 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? |
A30577 | If these men prevaile, is there not danger lest things should be carried as they please? |
A30577 | If you fight against the King, who doe you fight for? |
A30577 | Is it but a remote probabilitie that Kings were here first by election? |
A30577 | Is not passive obedience required, if active can not be given? |
A30577 | Is not the reason the same in this, although the degree inferiour? |
A30577 | It is apparent this was Christ, for Joshua fell on his face, and worshipped, and said, What saith my Lord unto his servant? |
A30577 | It may be some may say, Why, are we in any danger of such miseries as the Jews suffered under Antiochus? |
A30577 | Joshua 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? |
A30577 | Lastly, 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? |
A30577 | Let 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? |
A30577 | Let 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? |
A30577 | Now if the Question be asked, Why doth the Lord thus work in Armies? |
A30577 | Now this is the question, what have you of the spirit of this great God? |
A30577 | Now you know what was said of that place, Doth any good come out of Galile? |
A30577 | Observe the variety of expressions, Faint not, Feare not, Tremble not, Be not terrified; Why? |
A30577 | Oh thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? |
A30577 | Onely 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? |
A30577 | Prophets, Priests have Gods hand and oyle upon them, and can not the power for no cause be taken from these? |
A30577 | Resisting the Priests is condemned in Scripture; what? |
A30577 | Shall not all the Armies in heaven and earth rather come together, and fight for her deliverance? |
A30577 | Shall not his excellencie make you afraid? |
A30577 | Shall the prohibition be good against Christians under Emperors persecuting Religion,& not against Subjects enjoying their Religion? |
A30577 | Shall your brethren goe to war, and shall ye sit here? |
A30577 | So I may say in this case, How many doe you reckon Jesus Christ for? |
A30577 | Surely the Princes of Zoan are fooles, the counsails of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh are become brutish, where are they? |
A30577 | The Ayre cryes, Lord shall I conveigh infection into his body, and poyson him? |
A30577 | The Fire, shall I seize on him, and burne him? |
A30577 | The Scripture bids, that the wicked should be taken from the throne of the King; Who should take them away? |
A30577 | The Water, Shall I stop his breath? |
A30577 | The answer is there, How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge against Askelon,& against the sea shore? |
A30577 | The beasts of the field, Shall we run upon him, and tear him? |
A30577 | The earth, Shall I open, and swallow him up? |
A30577 | The second thing he sayes is, What meanes of safety had the Christians in and after the Apostles times? |
A30577 | The spirits of those that seem to be the greatest terror amongst us, are mean and base: What worthy thing have they ever done? |
A30577 | The substance of all that follows is, suppose that Subiects may take up Arms? |
A30577 | There is a great deale of stir about these men, but what have they done? |
A30577 | These men doe what lyes in them to put men upon examining, Whether the relation between King and people may not possibly be broke? |
A30577 | They stamp for anger that they have them not, and if they had them, how would they stamp then? |
A30577 | They venture their lives for us, and endure great hardship; shall not wee pray? |
A30577 | This is most certaine, who are hardest to beleeve what the Parliament sayes, but Papists, and notorious blasphemers, and prophane livers? |
A30577 | This may be when Kings are elective, but what will you say concerning Kings that are hereditary? |
A30577 | Thou, even thou art to be feared, and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? |
A30577 | Though 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? |
A30577 | Thus it is this day with us, how did we not long agoe groan under our bondage? |
A30577 | Thy meat, thy drink, Shall we choak him, or be bane to him? |
A30577 | To 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? |
A30577 | To what purpose are good Laws made? |
A30577 | True, 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? |
A30577 | Vile 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? |
A30577 | We are troubled at the sword comming neare our Cities; but how sore would the misery be, if it should come into our Cities? |
A30577 | What Captain, what Souldier of renown, but delights to see his children and alliance, those who challenge any interest in him to be valiant? |
A30577 | What 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? |
A30577 | What a mighty work of God was this? |
A30577 | What acceptance can we then expect from him, or successe by him? |
A30577 | What an Host did God muster up against Pharaoh? |
A30577 | What 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? |
A30577 | What blood hath beene of late shed by them, even in coole blood? |
A30577 | What hope hath an hypocrite though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soule? |
A30577 | What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poore? |
A30577 | What mean you? |
A30577 | What need we be put to meddle with any thing but this in the case in hand? |
A30577 | What need we trouble our selves then any farther? |
A30577 | What say you to the Kings of Judah? |
A30577 | What sayes Ahasuerus concerning Haman, Will he force the Queen before my face? |
A30577 | What the condition of our Houses of Parliament, whether they be safe or not? |
A30577 | What though Monarchie be the best? |
A30577 | What, 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? |
A30577 | When the Spirit of the Lord came upon Sampson, Gideon, and others of the Worthies of the Lord, what great things did they? |
A30577 | Where brake he them? |
A30577 | Where doth the Scripture say so? |
A30577 | Where should we seek for light, but in the Sun? |
A30577 | Whether Kingly power be such an indelible character upon any person, as nothing can ever possibly put it out? |
A30577 | Whether that which is by compact and covenant, do not bind mutually? |
A30577 | Who denies all this? |
A30577 | Who hath the burden of the great worke in this State layne upon but the Religious party? |
A30577 | Who have ventured so much of their estates to reduce Ireland to the obedience of the King, as those that are thus called Round- heads? |
A30577 | Who is the King of glory? |
A30577 | Who so fit to be used in the battels of the Lord, as they who have most interest in the Lord? |
A30577 | Who was there in the world then to kill him? |
A30577 | Why are the Princes of Zoan so much mentioned there? |
A30577 | Why doth the D. speake of stretching forth the hand against the Lords Anointed? |
A30577 | Why is it thus put upon this? |
A30577 | Why of the South? |
A30577 | Why shall they encounter with dangers, and suffer hard things, and you sit still and have your ease? |
A30577 | Why should this dead dog curse my Lord the King? |
A30577 | Why 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? |
A30577 | Why? |
A30577 | Wil our lives be worth the taking up in the streets, if we out- live our Religion and Liberties? |
A30577 | With what infinite indignation must God needs look upon such vile wormes, who dare resist such a glorious Majesty as he is? |
A30577 | Would you know why so many of the Gentry in most Counties throughout the Kingdome are so malignant? |
A30577 | Yea, 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? |
A30577 | and if the King should put them out of his protection, what doe you thinke would follow upon this? |
A30577 | and twenty in the Lords House see more then sixty that are of a contrary judgement? |
A30577 | and what though the King should have power of a negative voice in the passing all Bils? |
A30577 | and who are they? |
A30577 | are not we made of the same matter that men are? |
A30577 | are they come to hurt my Mountaine, my holy Mountaine, my Church? |
A30577 | are they not led by a fevv? |
A30577 | but if abide in our Cities, what miserable spoile and ruine would there be? |
A30577 | can nothing therfore discharge the Priest of his priestly office, and my acknowledging of his priestly power? |
A30577 | do you not know your Father is the Lord of Hosts? |
A30577 | doth not the King forbid plunderings now,& yet do they not plunder as they please? |
A30577 | hath 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? |
A30577 | hath not the King graciously yeelded to them, almost in all things they can desire? |
A30577 | have they ever stood before those that opposed them? |
A30577 | he said it even to Kings: Whom should they not touch? |
A30577 | how can they be under his protection if they be his enemies? |
A30577 | if then they get power into their hands fully, what will not they do then? |
A30577 | is it not all one to me as if he had refused to pay the debt? |
A30577 | is it not time for us now to have our hearts raised above these things? |
A30577 | is not the very life of the Kingdom in danger? |
A30577 | must he not needs be convinced that here surely hath been the military art of some skilfull Commanders working? |
A30577 | surely it must be for his enemies? |
A30577 | taking up Arms: Was it not a most unjust and vile conspiracie, meerly out of the pride of malicious spirits? |
A30577 | that ever have been before us; for vvho knows hovv many vvere present or absent vvhen it vvas resolved upon the Question? |
A30577 | the very foundations of this our Land are out of course; but what have the righteous done? |
A30577 | to defend it? |
A30577 | to have as much power to govern the Church as they have? |
A30577 | what are you mad ▪ Doe you know what you doe? |
A30577 | what doe they stand for more? |
A30577 | what hope can they have then? |
A30577 | what horrid blasphemies are there against this Prince of the Host of his people? |
A30577 | what rage even against God himselfe? |
A30577 | where are the wise men? |
A30577 | where are your spirits of magnanimity and fortitude, of courage and valour, beseeming the children of such a glorious Father the Lord of Hosts? |
A30577 | where for heat, but in the fire? |
A30577 | where for valour& victory, but in the Lord of Hosts? |
A30577 | where for water, but in the rivers? |
A30577 | whether their priviledges be broke or not? |
A30577 | who endeavours it? |
A30577 | who 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? |
A30577 | why doe they now stand out so as they doe? |
A30577 | wil it not set the Kings heart against us? |
A30577 | will 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? |
A58808 | 2, 3? |
A58808 | And being so agreeable, how can they but abound with Pleasure and Delight? |
A58808 | And 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? |
A58808 | And can we deny thee any Thing after such an Instance of Love, especially when thy Demands are so gentle and reasonable? |
A58808 | And canst thou be cold and insensible in the midst of so many prevailing Endearments? |
A58808 | And do they not many times find the difficulties so great, as that they are quite beaten off and utterly disheartned by them? |
A58808 | And hath not thy God obliged thee infinitely more than the best Friend in the World? |
A58808 | And he that gave the Ear, shall not he hear? |
A58808 | And hence is that of the antient Poet, Cum sis ipse nocens, moritur cur Victima pro te? |
A58808 | And how else can I imitate him, but by obeying him? |
A58808 | And 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? |
A58808 | And is it less criminal to be ungrateful to God, than to thy Fellow- creature? |
A58808 | And is it less infamous to be an ungrateful Wretch towards God, than towards a mortal Friend? |
A58808 | And is it likely that this Earth, which is but the Sink of the World, should be the only inhabitable Part of it? |
A58808 | And 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? |
A58808 | And is it not wondrous Love in him to make such liberal Provisions for such undeserving Guests? |
A58808 | And 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? |
A58808 | And 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? |
A58808 | And now can our Hearts hold when we think of this? |
A58808 | And now how can we think of this, and not be affected with it? |
A58808 | And shall we grudg to pay him a Mite to whom we are indebted Millions? |
A58808 | And what greater Encouragement can we expect, or desire? |
A58808 | And what shameful Retreats and false Colours, what Fucus''s and Daubings are we feign to use to avoid Contradiction and Discovery? |
A58808 | And what though the State and the Laws and Customs of it be in a great Measure unknown to me? |
A58808 | And who would not, that sets any Value upon the Glory of being dear to God? |
A58808 | And yet he parted with him out of Love to me; and shall not I part with these for the Love of him? |
A58808 | Are they not forced to strive and wrastle with themselves, and to do the greatest Violence to their own Inclinations? |
A58808 | But how comes this to pass? |
A58808 | But if God be infinitely the best Master in the World, as doubtless he is, Why do we stand Debating the Case any longer? |
A58808 | But is there not some particular End for which God doth so earnestly crave and exact our Love? |
A58808 | But 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? |
A58808 | But then you will say, by what Signs and Tokens shall we know whether we are righteous or no? |
A58808 | Can any Physick be nauseous or distastful that is prescribed to recover us into such an happy Immortality? |
A58808 | Can any Thing be unwelcom to us that is in Order to so blessed an End? |
A58808 | Can any of my Lusts be as dear to me as the only begotten Son was to the Father of all things? |
A58808 | Can he be so insensible of his own Happiness as not to be enamoured with the blessed Cause of it? |
A58808 | Can 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? |
A58808 | Can there be any Perfection in us that is not in God in the utmost Degree of Possibility? |
A58808 | Can we be cold and indifferent in the midst of such a vigorous Flame? |
A58808 | Doth God need our Love, that he so importunately calls for it? |
A58808 | For 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? |
A58808 | For 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? |
A58808 | For besides the Honour of being his Favourites, what an infinite Advantage may we expect to reap from it? |
A58808 | For can a Man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? |
A58808 | For do not the Generality of those Men that have attempted a religious Life find by Experience a great deal of difficulty? |
A58808 | For how can I love God, and not think him lovely? |
A58808 | For how can a Man chearfully comply with what he hates, or become a Volunteer to that which is his Torment? |
A58808 | For 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? |
A58808 | For how much Pains do we ordinarily take upon far less Hopes? |
A58808 | For if these were either casual or necessary, why should they not happen alike to all, as well as ordinary Providences? |
A58808 | For till we have recovered our Hearts from the World into our own Disposal, how can we resign them to God? |
A58808 | For what Advantage is it to God, that we applaud and commend him? |
A58808 | For what are the Pains of a Moment to the Pleasures of an Eternity? |
A58808 | For 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? |
A58808 | For what doth the Lord our God require of us, bot only to act like Men, and follow the Prescriptions of Right Reason? |
A58808 | For what great Skill doth it require in an Almighty Agent to make others miserable? |
A58808 | For what higher Mark can our Ambition aim at, than that of being beloved by the greatest and most lovely Being? |
A58808 | He that planted the Eye, shall not he see? |
A58808 | How I say, can I steadily reflect upon such a Nature as this, without being charmed and captivated with the Love of it? |
A58808 | How can I desire to be like him, and not take Care to imitate him? |
A58808 | How can I think him lovely, and not desire to be like him? |
A58808 | How can our Voyage be troublesome, when our Port is the Indies of Pleasure? |
A58808 | How can we account any Work hard, of which Heaven is the Wages? |
A58808 | How can we any longer avoid being captivated with the Thoughts of such a generous Kindness? |
A58808 | How can we faint in our Christian Race when we see the Crown of Glory hanging over the Goal? |
A58808 | How do thy blessed Saints resent our Unkindness towards thee? |
A58808 | How then canst thou excuse thy Coldness and Indifference to him? |
A58808 | How then could he enjoy himself, whilst in the Glass of his own Omniscience he beheld himself so odiously Represented? |
A58808 | If you ask again how you shall know whether you so intend and act? |
A58808 | In the Name of God what would you have Sirs, would you have Heaven drop into your Mouths, while you lie still and do nothing? |
A58808 | Is God thus naturally and essentially good? |
A58808 | Is God thus naturally and essentially good? |
A58808 | Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that we are righteous? |
A58808 | Is it possible that true Love should consist with taking Pleasure in the only Things that can grieve and offend its Object? |
A58808 | Is it so hard a Matter for Men to act like Men, and not to live their own Reverse and Antipodes? |
A58808 | Lastly, if we consider the Fire, what a most useful Servant hath the great Creator rendred it to Mankind? |
A58808 | Or can the Tree be indifferent to him, when the Fruit of it is so infinitely grateful? |
A58808 | Or 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? |
A58808 | Or were there ever such Lovers heard of, that affected the Deformities that were most hateful to the Beloved? |
A58808 | Or 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? |
A58808 | Shall not his Nature be as strongly inclined to do good to them? |
A58808 | Shall we plead that our Condition was hopeless and desperate, we being bound over for our past Sins to an irrevocable Damnation? |
A58808 | Since therefore he hath loved me without any Desert of mine, can I forbear to love him who hath deserved so well of me? |
A58808 | That dost not think thy Son too good to redeem us, thy Spirit to Sanctify, thy everlasting Heaven to Crown and Reward us? |
A58808 | To what a Degree must thou love us, who thinkest none of these Things too dear and good for us? |

A30615 | and are your thoughts solicitous about this? |
A30615 | and be rouling of sin and wickedness up and down in your thoughts? |
A30615 | and how can that stand with such workings as I have had before? |
A30615 | and that your sins are pardoned, and your souls justified? |
A30615 | and what opportunities to present petitions to God? |
A30615 | and what shall my graces that are in my soul be? |
A30615 | and where dost thou think to find so much good as in Abraham''s family, where the presence of God is? |
A30615 | are not you walking many times with the Devil, and making provision for the flesh? |
A30615 | are these the waies that are like the former waies that thou hast seem''d to walk in? |
A30615 | art thou going from thence? |
A30615 | art thou satisfied with dogs meat? |
A30615 | as he said to Adam; yea sometimes while thou art at prayer and hearing the Word, Where are thy thoughts, and about what? |
A30615 | but have I it with the blessing of God? |
A30615 | but then, take not only my soul, but my grace, the Divine Nature that is in my soul, what shall that be raised too? |
A30615 | but what communion have I with God in them? |
A30615 | but who are they that do so? |
A30615 | can you say in your consciences, that you think that they that do so have their Conversations in Heaven, you will do as they do? |
A30615 | can you value a poor man that is godly above the richest man that is wicked? |
A30615 | canst thou attain to a more strict and holy Conversation than a Heavenly Conversation? |

A30615 | have not I cause to fear that I am but an Hypocrite, a rotten professor? |
A30615 | have you so much time for the spending the very spirits of your souls upon the things of this earth, can you spare so many hours? |
A30615 | how great is the sum of them? |
A30615 | how sweet is God then? |
A30615 | if thou hadst but thy thoughts often working this way, Wherefore do I think in my conscience hath God made the children of men, for what end? |
A30615 | is it the losse of the light of the face of God, or the losse of an estate, the losse of a voyage, or the commission of a sin? |
A30615 | is that possible? |
A30615 | is the way that I am in like to the way that befeems an Immortal soul? |
A30615 | is there nothing amisse between God and my soul? |
A30615 | must I leave you now? |

A30615 | thy body being either too much heated, or too much coold, what''s become of all thy comfort here in this earth? |
A30615 | we can not be Saints? |
A30615 | we have the Prophesie of Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and other Prophets; but where the Prophesie of Enoch? |
A30615 | what a seemly thing were it in those that come to hear the word when they depart that there should be no discourse but tending that way? |
A30615 | what abundant enterance will be made into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? |
A30615 | what are we doing? |

A30615 | where''s the great workings of your spirits? |
A30615 | who are you conversing withal? |
A30615 | who had ever that fellowship with the Father and the Son so as Christ had? |
A30615 | why hath he sent them hither into the world? |
A30615 | wil not this be folly? |
A30615 | will a Reprobates portion content thee? |
A30615 | will it serve thee? |

A61876 | Say to thy self, Does not water in Baptism signifie and seal the cleansing blood of Christ, and our justification and sanctification thereby? |
A61876 | Say to thy self, was not this water applied to me? |
A61876 | Say, Believe O my soul, go to the fountain, wilt thou dye in thy filth, and under the fury of the Almighty God? |
A61876 | Secondly, Can you think of a better, a safer course? |
A61876 | Secondly, What meant by Conformed? |
A61876 | Secondly, Where? |
A61876 | Secondly, Where? |
A61876 | Should they who have Christ and the Spirit of God in them, conform to them who have Satan and the Spirit of the world in them? |
A61876 | Si ● s were you clean born, shaped in holiness? |
A61876 | Sirs, who layes the Cloth, who spreads the Table, who sends in provision? |
A61876 | Sirs, would you have his company, whom you have no love for? |
A61876 | So Moses tells the same people, If thou shalt say in thy heart, these Nations are more then I, how can I dispossess them? |
A61876 | So will God say to thee, if thou say to hi, as Ahab said to Jehosaphat; wilt thou go with me to Ramoth Gilead? |
A61876 | So, sinner what is this that thou hast done? |
A61876 | Such as are upright in their way are his delight: and what will not a man do for such in whom he delights? |
A61876 | The Holy Spirit is not? |
A61876 | Then examine, Is God with us? |
A61876 | There shall come in the last dayes scoffers, walking after their own lusts( and sure they are come) Saying, Where is the promise of his coming? |
A61876 | Therefore what ever you do, get God to be with you: Secondly, The world is with you, and''t is a bewitching, ensnaring, and mischeiving world? |
A61876 | These are terrible threats, but who trembles at the reading or hearing of them? |
A61876 | Thirdly, If you can not, are you resolved upon this? |
A61876 | Thirdly, When? |
A61876 | To Glorifie God with our bodies? |
A61876 | To be Transformed by the renewing of your minds? |
A61876 | To justifie the worl ●? |
A61876 | Treacherous; Are not Professors so too? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to a Refuge, a Rock, a Tower, when you are pursued, is not that of use? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to a portion, is not that of use? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to a shelter in a Storm 〈 ◊ 〉 not that of use? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to a shield in Battel, is not that of use? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to an Inheritance, is not that of use? |
A61876 | VVhat say you to the Light, is not that of use? |
A61876 | We are in misery, we are unworthy, we are weak, and yet provoking; And doth God suit with such? |
A61876 | What a presence of God had Paul with him? |
A61876 | What are your Bodies which you thus dress up and adorn? |
A61876 | What direction can you give us? |
A61876 | What have you for God to do? |
A61876 | What is this that thou hast done? |
A61876 | What shall I say to you? |
A61876 | What shall I say to you? |
A61876 | What shall we say to these things? |
A61876 | What stony hearts have they that will not yield when God thus beseeches by his mercies bestowed on them? |
A61876 | What terrible things did he do by the Red Sea? |
A61876 | What then is there no avoiding of this fury? |
A61876 | What to strive for state, to seek for preheminence over one another; to be greatest, highest, bravest, finest? |
A61876 | What were your Heads, Ears, Eyes, and Tongues? |
A61876 | What were your Hearts, and Hands? |
A61876 | What 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? |
A61876 | What work will the Devil make, if God be not with us to deliver us? |
A61876 | What, will you strive with your Maker? |
A61876 | When shall it once be? |
A61876 | Whither will the Devil drive you, if God do not stop him? |
A61876 | Why Sirs shall God loose and miss of the main end of bestowing his mercies on you? |
A61876 | Why do you not rather suffer your selves to be derided and despised? |
A61876 | Why have you done this? |
A61876 | Why then should I not obey this command, and believe and rest on Christ for my cleansing? |
A61876 | Will not Linnen, Brass and Pewter Vessels be made clean, nor Bodies be purged without allowing time? |
A61876 | Will you conform to these in the Devils ways? |
A61876 | Will you hazard and endanger your selves by conforming to, and keeping company with the men of this world? |
A61876 | Wilt thou not be made clean? |
A61876 | Wilt thou not be made clean? |
A61876 | Winning others by your conversation? |
A61876 | Working out your salvation with fear and trembling? |
A61876 | Would Professors were not so too? |
A61876 | Would Professors were not so too? |
A61876 | You would not suffer with it, and will you sin with it? |
A61876 | You your selves turn away from filthy Creatures; and will not God much more turn away from filthy sinners? |
A61876 | and can not the Father be with the Child that is many miles distant from him? |
A61876 | and that from poor despicable Creatures, your servants? |
A61876 | and that, in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? |
A61876 | and will you serve their Idols? |
A61876 | even we who in some things are Non- conformists? |
A61876 | for should they of better principles conform to them of worse? |
A61876 | or 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? |
A61876 | or what communion hath light with darkness? |
A61876 | shall I praise you in this? |
A61876 | shall 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? |
A61876 | shall it ever be said, this poor Soul would have had the presence of God, but God would not afford it? |
A61876 | what 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? |
A61876 | when shall it once be? |
A61876 | who ever sought the presence of God; and was denied it? |
A61876 | with such as are in misery? |
A61876 | would Daniel be with God to the Hazard of his life? |
A61876 | would you have him, whom you do not love to come unto you? |
A61876 | would you have your souls gathered hereafter with those you conform to here, and whose fashions you have learned here? |
A61876 | would you not think him to be of a flinty heart? |
A61876 | yes, for he is gracious: and with the weak? |
A61876 | yes, for he is long suffering, and with backslider ●? |
A61876 | yes, for he is merciful: and with such as are unworthy? |
A65701 | 3 dly, Doth not the Psalmist say, The Heavens declare the Glory of God, and the Firmament sheweth his handy work? |
A65701 | 3 dly, He is here speaking of seeking the Creatures for our good: Now hath the Body any apprehensions of what is for our good? |
A65701 | 3 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? |
A65701 | Again, when he saith, God Wills and Acts for himself, what doth he mean? |
A65701 | And again, The Lord will give Grace, and Glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly? |
A65701 | And are not all its Motions regular and pleasing? |
A65701 | And are not these pleasant things in the Hebrew her desirable things, and in the Greek 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A65701 | And 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? |
A65701 | And can that be desirable which is in no sense our Good, nor can communicate any Good to us? |
A65701 | And do we not desire this as a publick Good? |
A65701 | And doth he not here say, that he is taught of God to love other things besides God for his sake? |
A65701 | And doth not he act for a Creature, who doth all he doth for the Good of his Creatures? |
A65701 | And 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? |
A65701 | And hath not God by these Expressions first called us to himself, and then sent us to his Creatures, as his Blessings on our Obedience? |
A65701 | And 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? |
A65701 | And if I be not wanting in my Duty to him, how can I sin against him? |
A65701 | And if our Being is the Being of our selves, must not the love of it be the love of our selves? |
A65701 | And is Food only the occasion, is it not the means by God appointed for the continuance of Life? |
A65701 | And is God such a one? |
A65701 | And is not the Giver of these Faculties and Creatures the sole Author of it? |
A65701 | And is not this as much a demonstration, that God can not love himself with a Love of Benevolence? |
A65701 | And is not this desire and expectation a movement of the Soul? |
A65701 | And may not Madam B. and Madam I. be to the Lady, Mulier desiderii? |
A65701 | And might they not desire what was the very promise made to the Seed of Abraham? |
A65701 | And must he therefore be the Proper and Immediate, yea, the Sole Object of this Love? |
A65701 | And must not then the Moderation here required Respect the same things? |
A65701 | And must not then the Pains and Miseries of the Damn''d be, according to this Philosophy, immediately caused by God, and by him only? |
A65701 | And must they not then be lovely, and proper Objects of desire? |
A65701 | And since he will be putting Cases, why stopped he here where he did? |
A65701 | And so of the Pleasure that we find in the Recovery of our Health, and the Refreshments of our wearied Spirits? |
A65701 | And that the Soul that moves toward the Creature, must necessarily forsake the Creator? |
A65701 | And the same reason to fix the Eyes of our Understanding on, and direct the Motions of our Will towards him? |
A65701 | And then I ask again, Whether this Man may not be defective in his Duty, for not making the Creature the Object of his desire? |
A65701 | And then doth he not send us to these Creatures for satisfaction of those Appeties he hath implanted in us towards them? |
A65701 | And when we grieve for them as dead, and gone into a State of Happiness, can we do this out of Benevolence to them? |
A65701 | And whence ariseth the Obligation to such Praises and Thanksgivings for them? |
A65701 | And wherein doth the Goodness of these things consist, but in their fitness to serve the ends for which these Creatures were created? |
A65701 | And why are they commanded to rejoice in them, and so bless him for them? |
A65701 | And why th ● n may we not desire any other of God''s good Creatures, why not fruitful Seasons, why not Food? |
A65701 | And 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? |
A65701 | And will not Self- love teach us to desire what is so needful and so beneficial to us? |
A65701 | Are none of these things truely and really lovely, because they are Creatures? |
A65701 | Are 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? |
A65701 | Are not all these Acts of Benevolent affection to God? |
A65701 | Are not our Petitions of these things from God our desires of them? |
A65701 | Are not such Persons very needful and beneficial to us in this Life? |
A65701 | Are the generality of Men capable of Understanding it? |
A65701 | Are these thoughts worthy of God? |
A65701 | Are they not all declared by the Wisdom of God to be desirable? |
A65701 | Are we not therefore to be filled with the Fruits of Righteousness, because they tend to the Praise and Glory of God? |
A65701 | Aut quando d ● citur, Nolite ista diligere, hoc dicitur? |
A65701 | But if they were their good things, why might they not desire or effect them proportionably to the Goodness that was in them? |
A65701 | But must we therefore grant to the Papist such a living Iudge, or to the Quaker such an Infallible Spirit? |
A65701 | But this affords a demonstration of her mistake in all that I have quoted from her, for may we not desire what God doth promise? |
A65701 | But will the Love of God asswage her Hunger, quench her Thirst, or cloth her Nakedness? |
A65701 | Can he act for a Creature? |
A65701 | Can he be said to love God with all his Love, N. B. who loves him only with a part? |
A65701 | Can he have it the more for doing so? |
A65701 | Can he make a Creature his end? |
A65701 | Can he move us from himself? |
A65701 | Can he move us from himself? |
A65701 | Can it be unjust to gratifie my natural Appetites, according to the intention of the God of Nature? |
A65701 | Can it desire, or seek any thing under that Notion? |
A65701 | Can not I desire but one thing only in the World, and yet at the same time wish well to every thing else? |
A65701 | Can 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? |
A65701 | Can the regular application of the Faculty of desire to such Objects as are agreeable to our Nature, be either unjust or unsafe? |
A65701 | Can they not give us so much as one grateful Sensation, one little contemptible Pleasure resulting from this Knowledge of God? |
A65701 | Can we cease truly to love God, by desiring that which he doth promise? |
A65701 | Can we forsake the Creator, by moving towards what he thus excites us to? |
A65701 | Can we love God too much, or Creatures too little? |
A65701 | Can we love Happiness too much, or the World too little? |
A65701 | Can we take the Stranger in, without desiring an House in which we may receive him? |
A65701 | Did he not for the Ioy that was set before him endure the Cross? |
A65701 | Did not Ioash weep over Elisha, because he was the Charriot of Israel, and the Horsemen thereof? |
A65701 | Did not all Iudah and Ierusalem mourn for Iosiah, because they said, Under his shadow we shall live among the Heathens? |
A65701 | Do not those Promises suppose in us a Love of, and a desire to enjoy the Blessings promised? |
A65701 | Do they suffer these Pains in order to a greater Good? |
A65701 | Do we reap no pleasure from these pleasant Lands, Fields, Vineyards, Houses, Furniture, or this pleasant Bread? |
A65701 | Do you not call that a sensual Desire, whose Object is a sensual Good? |
A65701 | Does not God make all things for himself? |
A65701 | Does not Mr. N. say, There are some things which I love with great Passion, such as are Conversation with select Friends? |
A65701 | Does not his Apostle say as expresly, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Let no Man seek his own things? |
A65701 | Does not his mind move with alacrity, and unwearied vigour? |
A65701 | Does this exhaust the Sense of this great Commandment? |
A65701 | Doth he not enjoin us to do good to others for his sake? |
A65701 | Doth he not require upon this account that we should be zealous in the promotion of his Honour? |
A65701 | Doth he require that only which no Man can defraud him of? |
A65701 | Doth it not suppose that there be many things that may be desired? |
A65701 | Doth it not therefore lay an Obligation on us to love our Creator, because we by receiving it have received Good from him? |
A65701 | Doth not St. Paul excite us to live Godly, because Godliness is profitable to all things, having the promise of this Life? |
A65701 | Doth not the Comparison shew that these things in their kind are good? |
A65701 | Doth not the Question plainly suppose, That leaving of these things was that for which they might expect a Recompence? |
A65701 | Doth one in Ten thousand now believe it? |
A65701 | Doth she not in all this speak of the Love of Benevolence? |
A65701 | Doth that find Pleasure from the Fire, or remember that it did so? |
A65701 | For can God move us towards the Creature? |
A65701 | For can we feed the Hungry, or give drink to the Thirsty, without desiring to have Food and Drink to give them? |
A65701 | For is the desire of Enjoying him all that he desires from us, to testifie and express our love to him? |
A65701 | For what can he wish to himself that he has not already? |
A65701 | For what wise Man would think much to relinquish a lesser, for a greater Good? |
A65701 | For wherefore hath he given to us Organs capable of great and exquisite Delight in all our Senses? |
A65701 | For, First, Do Mr. N. and the Lady recommend unto us their Sense of this command as an effectual preservative against Sin? |
A65701 | Furthermore, I ask what doth he mean, when he saith, The Love of God can be no other than the Love of himself? |
A65701 | Hath it any apprehension of the Objects that make Impressions on it as the natural or occasional Causes of our Pleasure? |
A65701 | Hath not God made these things the matter of his Promises, and his Encouragements to Duty? |
A65701 | Hath not this the evidence of a first Principle, that God acts only for himself? |
A65701 | Hath she not told us, That the desire of God, and the desire of the Creature in their own natures, are incompatible? |
A65701 | He deserves Perfect and Angelical Obedience; but are we therefore, in this State of Imperfection, obliged to it? |
A65701 | Here 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? |
A65701 | How bright and lucid are the Regions of his Soul? |
A65701 | How can we thus do good to them only by communicating that which can not do them any Good? |
A65701 | How entire and undisturbed are his Enjoyments? |
A65701 | How full and overflowing are his Joys? |
A65701 | How many myriads have lost their Reputation, Honesty, their Conscience, and their own Souls to save it? |
A65701 | How ravishing and lasting are his Delights? |
A65701 | How solid and profound is his Peace? |
A65701 | How then can it be Charity to give that to others, which out of kindness we desire not to our own selves? |
A65701 | How unintelligible therefore is it to talk of all these things only as Movements of the Body, and and not as Movements of the Soul? |
A65701 | If 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? |
A65701 | If it be better to marry than to burn, must it must not be good to desire a Wife, that I may not burn? |
A65701 | If so, why may not the Creatures be desirable, though they do us no Good? |
A65701 | If the first, why should he Will or Act for what he hath already, and can not chuse but have? |
A65701 | If the latter, the Question returns, What, can he, who is infinitely and necessarily happy, Will or Act for that he hath not already? |
A65701 | If 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? |
A65701 | If these things were in no sense their good, why are they stiled God''s Blessings and his Gifts? |
A65701 | If they were not fit Objects of Desire, where is the punishment in the withdrawing them? |
A65701 | In fine, Doth this Notion tend at all to abate or lessen our desires of the Creature? |
A65701 | In 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? |
A65701 | Is God concerned that we should not want that which is a necessary Adherent of our Beings? |
A65701 | Is Physick only the occasion, is it not the means of my Health? |
A65701 | Is a part the whole? |
A65701 | Is he not always his own end? |
A65701 | Is 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? |
A65701 | Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous, or is it gain to him that thou makest thy way perfect? |
A65701 | Is 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? |
A65701 | Is it kindness to our selves not to desire for our selves that which is needful for the Body? |
A65701 | Is it not evident that he whose Will is thus resigned to the Will of God, can not be cross''d in his Desires? |
A65701 | Is it not evidently the Soul that apprehends, remembers, seeks, desires, and doth all these things? |
A65701 | Is it not the Pleasure annexed to the Enjoyment of these things which all the World pursue? |
A65701 | Is 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? |
A65701 | Is it, that he Wills, and Acts for that which he hath already, and can not chuse but have, or for what he hath not? |
A65701 | Is not Vir desiderii, the Scripture Expression, for a Person highly beloved? |
A65701 | Is not causa causae, causa causati? |
A65701 | Is not the Pleasure which reflects from them as occasions, or as natural Causes of it, still the same? |
A65701 | Is not this as true of the measures of Divine Love assigned by us? |
A65701 | Is sleep only the occasion, is it not the means of my Refreshment? |
A65701 | May I not love what is Good to be chosen with a love of Concupiscence? |
A65701 | May not the Parish of B. desire that Mr. N. may continue their Minister, as being a Good to them? |
A65701 | May we not always Contemplate and Enjoy his Beauty, asswage our Thirst at this Fountain, and feast our hungry Souls upon his never- failing Charms? |
A65701 | May we not desire of God that he would give them charge concerning us? |
A65701 | Might they not love, or be pleased with a Land so glorious, so pleasant, and desirable? |
A65701 | Moreover what are these natural Appetites, but natural Desires? |
A65701 | Moreover, 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? |
A65701 | Must I needs hate my Master, if I love my Saviour; or despise him, if I cleave to my Lord Christ? |
A65701 | Must not not our Works shine before Men, that we may glorifie our heavenly Father? |
A65701 | Must not the continuance of it be the continuance of our Good? |
A65701 | Must not then the words be necessarily Interpreted of Masters Co- ordinate, or Masters whose Commands and Services do interfere? |
A65701 | Must not these Sentiments be highly Ravishing and Entertaining, must they not fill every Faculty with a full Tide of Ioy? |
A65701 | Must they not be Sweets that know no Bitter, Ioys without Allay, Pleasures that have no Sting? |
A65701 | Nor can God love himself with a Love of Desire: For what Indigence in him can be the Ground of this Love of Concupiscence? |
A65701 | Now can Mr. N. charge us with giving the same love to the Creature which we give to the Creator? |
A65701 | Now could he do all this without any Movement of his Soul towards them? |
A65701 | Now do we not find here all that Mr. N. condemns in our Relative Love? |
A65701 | Now doth she here mean the corrupt manners of the World? |
A65701 | Now if God be the only Author and Cause of our Love, has He not then the Sole Right and Title to it? |
A65701 | Now is this the Love God calls for in this Text? |
A65701 | Now, doth she not by these words confess there is some good in other things, and consequently something desirable? |
A65701 | Now, if these temporal Enjoyments were not indeed good things, why is the witholding of them stiled the witholding of good things from them? |
A65701 | Nunquid non est in his modus? |
A65701 | Of the Pains the bloody Hector suffers in a Duel by a mortal Wound? |
A65701 | Of the wicked Soldier mortally wounded in the Field? |
A65701 | Or Cloath the Naked, without desiring to have wherewith to Cloath him? |
A65701 | Or 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? |
A65701 | Or must he love them too much, if he love them at all? |
A65701 | Or shew any Inclination for lower Delights, when courted to the Enjoyment of the Highest? |
A65701 | Or what Encouragement can such Promises afford them thus to love him? |
A65701 | Or what effect can they have on us to deter us from the evil of our ways? |
A65701 | Or why doth Peter say to Christ, We have left all( these things) and followed thee, what shall we have? |
A65701 | Or why doth Solomon so earnestly desire, That God, upon their Prayer, and their Repentance, would grant Deliverance from the forementioned Evils? |
A65701 | Or, do we not so from the Sense of our own Loss of one so good, and so desirable to us? |
A65701 | Or, rather doth he not deserve infinitely more than we, or any of his Creatures can bestow upon him? |
A65701 | Secondly, 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? |
A65701 | Secondly, I ask what Grammar will not endure it? |
A65701 | Should we not be grieved at, and industrious to prevent whatever tends to the Dishonour of his Holy Name? |
A65701 | So unintelligible is this inward self- centring Principle of Mr. N. Doth not the Scripture say, God hath made all things for himself? |
A65701 | That we should endeavour the Repentance of the Sinner, because this creates joy in Heaven, and God is highly pleased with it? |
A65701 | That we should not do it immoderately; and is not that sufficient warrant, so to interpret the other Particulars? |
A65701 | That we should rejoice in every thing by which his Holy Name is Glorified? |
A65701 | That which we never can put off, never can be with without? |
A65701 | The Atheist or Debauched Person taken away by a sudden stroke or by a violent Death? |
A65701 | The Corn, Wine and Oil to comfort and make glad the Heart of Man? |
A65701 | The Fruits of the Earth to sustain him? |
A65701 | The Ox, the Ass, the Horse for Travel and for Tillage of the Earth; the Flocks and Herds, to feed and clothe him? |
A65701 | The Young Lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing? |
A65701 | The horrid Criminal presently put upon the Rack and there exspiring? |
A65701 | These concupiscible Treasures with which she fills the Wise Man''s House? |
A65701 | Thirdly, Do they say the Love of God they plead for makes the best provision for our Pleasure? |
A65701 | To take his own Instance, Do we approach to the Fire by a Bodily movement without desiring the Fire, and expecting Pleasure from it? |
A65701 | To this Question therefore, Can God move us towards a Creature? |
A65701 | Ut non manducetis, aut non bibatis aut filios non procreetis? |
A65701 | Was it not given to the Children of Men for their use? |
A65701 | Was not the Air made for him to breath in, the Fire to warm him, the Water to afford him drink? |
A65701 | Was not the Earth made to be inhabited by him? |
A65701 | Were not the living Creatures given him for Food, as the Herb? |
A65701 | What Logick, or what Grammar will endure this? |
A65701 | What a firm stable Rest does his Soul find when she thus reposes her full weight upon God? |
A65701 | What a settled Calm possesses his Breast? |
A65701 | What can an infinitely perfect and necessary Being farther desire to himself? |
A65701 | What can be too difficult to do, to acquire a more perfect Enjoyment of what we thus love and prize? |
A65701 | What can be too hard to suffer for the sake of the chief Object which hath thus won our heart? |
A65701 | What gave rise to the Corruptions of the Heathen World? |
A65701 | What is it that gratifies them but the Enjoyment of the thing desired? |
A65701 | What means he by these Questions? |
A65701 | What motive can such Promises afford us, to serve the Lord with chearfulness and gladness of heart i ● the abundance of all things? |
A65701 | What of the pains of the Holy Martyrs flagrant in Flames of Love to God, are they inflicted on them only as they are Sinners? |
A65701 | What therefore must it be here to serve God, but to give up our selves entirely to his Service, and the Obedience of his Will? |
A65701 | What thinks he of the Despair, Horror, the Agonies both of Soul and Body some desperately wicked Persons lie under at the hour of death? |
A65701 | What thinks he of the direful Agonies and Sufferings of the Blessed Iesus, was he also a Sinner? |
A65701 | What though that part be the larger part,''t is but a part still, and is a part of the whole? |
A65701 | What 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? |
A65701 | What, can an Endless Happiness, and Immense Glory be desired too much? |
A65701 | What, can infinite Good be loved too much? |
A65701 | Whence comes wars and fightings among us? |
A65701 | Wherefore 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? |
A65701 | Wherein consists the kindness of God designed in Creation of them? |
A65701 | Whether 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? |
A65701 | Why do you covet, and so zealously affect the World''s good things? |
A65701 | Why doth he promise it so oft as the reward of Wisdom? |
A65701 | Why hath he made it a commendation of Faith, that by it the Elders obtained a good report? |
A65701 | Why hath he made it our Duty to pursue whatever is praise- worthy, honourable, and of good report? |
A65701 | Why hath he told us, A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches; that it is better than the precious Ointment? |
A65701 | Why then did she her self propose this Argument to move us to the Enjoyment, and consequently to the desire of the Creature? |
A65701 | Why then doth she here give us this as the Definition of that Pleasure which she declares to be the grand motive to Action? |
A65701 | Why 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? |
A65701 | Why therefore doth she move us by this consideration, to secure to our selves what we may not desire? |
A65701 | Why therefore doth she say, That in all reason Creatures ought not to be thought desirable? |
A65701 | Will not that Love which will not suffer me to Sin against God preserve me holy, pure, and harmless before him in love? |
A65701 | Will 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? |
A65701 | Yea lastly, if they were not good and desirable things, wherein consists the hurt and Curse in being stripped and deprived of them? |
A65701 | Yea, whether we eat or drink, or whatever we do, must we not do all to the Glory of God? |
A65701 | Yea, why are they said to be blessed in them? |
A65701 | and engaging to them who seek first the Kingdom of God, that all other things shall be added to them? |
A65701 | entailing upon Godliness the Promises of this Life? |
A65701 | or where is the motive to depart from evil, that they might prevent these things? |
A65701 | to 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? |
A51294 | A Cure, Philopolis? |
A51294 | A fine thing to play with, Hylobares; what then? |
A51294 | A goodly sight: but what of all this? |
A51294 | Again, Cuphophron, is the Soul united to the Body by its Essence, or by some essential Attribute of the Soul? |
A51294 | And I pray you how much better is this then the Pagans sacrificing of men to Diana Taurica? |
A51294 | And are not all things Toies and Fools- baubles and the pleasures of Children or Beasts, excepting what is truly Moral and Intellectual? |
A51294 | And 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? |
A51294 | And by what Arguments, I beseech you, does he pretend to inferr so impious a Conclusion? |
A51294 | And do not you, Hylobares, hold the Soul of man to be an Incorporeal indiscerpible Substance, a Spirit? |
A51294 | And have you not as distinct a Notion of every one of these Attributes as of the other? |
A51294 | And how do you know, Hylobares, but that other would be so likewise? |
A51294 | And if the Philosophers themselves be such fools, what are the Plebeians? |
A51294 | And if the one be Gold, I pray you what is the other? |
A51294 | And indeed where do they not rule them? |
A51294 | And that in one instant of time they can fly from one Pole of the world to the other? |
A51294 | And 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? |
A51294 | And what is the gaudiness of Fools Coats but the gallantry of these Wits, though not altogether so authentickly in fashion? |
A51294 | And what so good wisedome, as to contrive things for the highest enjoyment of all? |
A51294 | And what think you of Land and Sea, whenas all might have been a Quagmire? |
A51294 | And who knows but a very lucky one? |
A51294 | And who knows but he that is born a natural Fool, if he had had natural Wit, would have become an arrant Knave? |
A51294 | And why do men rule the women, but upon account of more Strength or more Wisedome? |
A51294 | And why not the Sea too, Bathynous? |
A51294 | And why not, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | And will History acquit the civilized World of this piece of Barbarity, Euistor? |
A51294 | And, lastly, what is Lust, but Self- love seeking its own high delight and satisfaction in the use of Venery? |
A51294 | Answer, Cuphophron: why do you gape and stare, and scratch your head where it itches not? |
A51294 | Are then the Opinions of God''s being no- where and of his being every- where alike conducive to Vertue and Piety? |
A51294 | Are there any more Scruples behinde touching Divine Providence, Hylobares? |
A51294 | Are these the same Arguments, Hylobares, that you intended to invade me withall? |
A51294 | Are you not throughly satisfied hitherto, Hylobares? |
A51294 | Besides, why is this to be charged upon Providence, that there are so few? |
A51294 | But I ask you, does not the Rational Soul by the power of its Will move the Body? |
A51294 | But I pray do you tell me, Cuphrophron, what is Rest? |
A51294 | But I pray you tell me, Philotheus, did any of the old Fathers of the Church dream any such Dream as this? |
A51294 | But I pray you, Cuphophron, who is that Hylobares? |
A51294 | But admit the necessity of dying, what necessity or conveniency of the frequentness of Diseases? |
A51294 | But are you sure, Hylobares, that this were the most perfect way that Nature could pitch upon? |
A51294 | But can not you also think of two things at once, O Cuphophron? |
A51294 | But did I not preadvertise you, that no humane Authority has any right of being believed when they propound Contradictions? |
A51294 | But did you not observe, Hylobares, how I removed Sympathy from the Capacity of Matter? |
A51294 | But do Thunderbolts conduce any thing to that, Philotheus? |
A51294 | But dost thou think thus to drown our sense of solid Reason by the rapid stream or torrent of thy turgid Eloquence? |
A51294 | But have you no other Argument for it, Hylobares? |
A51294 | But how can that which is immovable, O Sophron, be the Genus of those things that are movable? |
A51294 | But how do you know, Hylobares, that there is such an infinite number of Earths? |
A51294 | But how does this Truth consort with his Goodness, whenas it declares to us that the World has continued but about these six thousand years? |
A51294 | But how shall we be so well assured of the Existence of a Spirit, while the comprehension of its Nature is taken for desperate? |
A51294 | But how shall we redeem our Imagination from this Captivity into such sordid conceits? |
A51294 | But if he doe not thus, it is a sign his heart is not clean, and therefore why should he grumble that he is punished? |
A51294 | But if it imply no Contradiction, what hinders but we may attribute it to him? |
A51294 | But 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? |
A51294 | But in that he has made it much larger and sooner, to what leading Attribute in God is that to be imputed, O Sophron? |
A51294 | But in the mean time why might not Man have been made a pure Intelligence at first? |
A51294 | But is it found Finite, Philotheus? |
A51294 | But is it not very ridiculous in the Virginians, to cut away half of their upper and lower Beards, and leave the other half behind? |
A51294 | But 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? |
A51294 | But is not this still a great disparagement to the Bride? |
A51294 | But is there not something in the following Verses about Childrens Rattles? |
A51294 | But is there nothing observable touching their Opinions of the other State, in order to which they may undergo these Hardships? |
A51294 | But it seems necessary to attribute it to him: else how can he manage the affairs of the World? |
A51294 | But suppose they be Atheists, how many thousands are there of such kinde of Cattel in the most civilized parts of Europe? |
A51294 | But the painting of their Skins with Serpents and ugly Beasts, as the Virginians are said to doe, how vilely must that needs look? |
A51294 | But to whom were they sacrificed, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | But well, what of all this, Philotheus? |
A51294 | But what are the Quere''s you would propose touching the Kingdome of God, O Philopolis? |
A51294 | But what does this Arrow aim at? |
A51294 | But what have you to gratifie the Ear, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | But what is that to me, if I do not? |
A51294 | But what is there to gratifie the Touch, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | But what is this Story of a Bull to that of the Cow the Brammans speak of? |
A51294 | But what makes you attribute Disunity to Matter rather then firm Union of parts, especially you attributing Self- inactivity thereto? |
A51294 | But what more then ordinary mischief came to the Inhabitants? |
A51294 | But what needs any such supposition, O Sophron? |
A51294 | But what shall we think of the Tartars and Maldives cutting off all their Hair of the upper Lip? |
A51294 | But 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? |
A51294 | But what then, Hylobares? |
A51294 | But what think you of the Priest of Calecut, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | But what think you of the whole Body, Hylobares? |
A51294 | But what use, could you make of the Silver Key, when that Divine Personage explained nothing of it to you? |
A51294 | But when a Phancy is once engrafted in the Minde, how shall one get it out? |
A51294 | But where find you any such examples in the West- Indies, Euistor? |
A51294 | But where is then the Soul? |
A51294 | But 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? |
A51294 | But whose description of a Spirit is this, Hylobares? |
A51294 | But why do you then attribute such a Prescience to God as is involved in such dangerous Inconveniences? |
A51294 | But why do you think so, Hylobares? |
A51294 | But why of folly? |
A51294 | But why take you this to be the lesser Difficulty, Philotheus? |
A51294 | But ▪ what instances have you of the over- severe method, Euistor? |
A51294 | But, I pray you, where did he receive these Keys, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Can any Religion be more horrid or blasphemous then this? |
A51294 | Can any ● hing ● eem more barbarous then this? |
A51294 | Can there be any thing possibly parallel to this, Cuphophron, amongst our Civilized Europaeans? |
A51294 | Can you be surrounded by all this, and yet be no- where? |
A51294 | Can you then miss of the true Notion of a Spirit? |
A51294 | Cuphophron''s: how will you rescue me, Hylobares? |
A51294 | Did not I tell you so, Philopolis? |
A51294 | Did not I tell you so, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Did not he begin thus, O Sophron? |
A51294 | Did you not say even now, that what- ever has no Extension or Amplitude is nothing? |
A51294 | Do not you observe, Euistor, how studiously Hylobares has play''d the Piper all this time? |
A51294 | Do they talk or discourse with one another? |
A51294 | Do you not hear the pleasant Notes of the Birds both in the Garden and on the Bowre? |
A51294 | Do you not see, Sophron, that you are worse s ● ar''d then hurt? |
A51294 | Do you not yet see, Hylobares, how weak an Assertion that of Des- Carte ● is, That Extension and Matter are reciprocall? |
A51294 | Do 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? |
A51294 | Does not that Line from the top of the Axis to the Peripherie of the Basis necessarily describe a Conicum in one Circumvolution? |
A51294 | Does not this occurr often enough in History, Euistor? |
A51294 | Does not this, O Sophron, subvert utterly all the belief of Providence in the world? |
A51294 | Else how could any creatures live in the Air or Water? |
A51294 | Every 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? |
A51294 | For do not these discover some malignancy in the Principles of the World, inconsistent with so lovely and benign an Authour as we seek after? |
A51294 | For how can an extended Substance be indivisible or indiscerpible? |
A51294 | For how can that which is some- where, as Matter and Motion are, reach that which is no- where? |
A51294 | For how can the Wicked escape Punishment, when Wickedness it self is one of the greatest Penalties? |
A51294 | For how do you know but all that which you phansie behinde, had been too much to receive at once? |
A51294 | For if it be real, what will not they be able to undergoe? |
A51294 | For if she cast her eye upon them, why does she not either reform them, or confound them and destroy them? |
A51294 | For what can give any stop to this but God''s Iustice, which is a branch or mode of his Goodness? |
A51294 | For what has God given us severall Faculties for, but to employ them to the emprovement of our own good? |
A51294 | For what is Wrath, but Self- love edged and strengthned for the fending off the assaults of evil? |
A51294 | For why does not that invisible Power that invigilates over all things prevent such sad Accidents? |
A51294 | For why should blind Necessity doe more in this kind then fluctuating Chance? |
A51294 | For why should mankinde complain of this Decree of God and Nature, which is so necessary and just? |
A51294 | For, as I was intimating before, which of these two is the more deplorable state, to be a Fool by Fate or upon choice? |
A51294 | Had not you better resume your Province, Hylobares, and assault him your self? |
A51294 | Have I so? |
A51294 | He 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? |
A51294 | How becomingly does Philopolis exercise his office, and seasonably commit the Opponent with the Respondent, like a long- practised Moderatour? |
A51294 | How came then the Americans not to lay hold on this opportunity? |
A51294 | How can it then be that particular possible Extensum which the Cylinder is actually? |
A51294 | How can they come at it, or it at them? |
A51294 | How could an arm of mere Air or Aether pull at another man''s hand or arm, but it would easily part in the pulling? |
A51294 | How do you know but that it is as good for the Universe, computing all respects, if it be not better? |
A51294 | How does that appear, Philotheus? |
A51294 | How long of us, Philotheus? |
A51294 | How madly does Cuphophron''s phancy rove? |
A51294 | How merrily- conceited is Cuphophron, that can thus play with a Feather? |
A51294 | How sublimely witty is Euistor with one single Glass? |
A51294 | How 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? |
A51294 | How then comes it to pass that you, being of so Philosophicall a Genius, should miss of the Pre- existence of the Soul? |
A51294 | How therefore can they hold together? |
A51294 | How vastly distant then are those little fix''d Stars that shew but as scattered Pin- dust in a frosty night? |
A51294 | How would their Faith be tried, if all things here below had been carried on in Peace and Righteousness and in the Fear of God? |
A51294 | How, Philotheus? |
A51294 | I appeal to your own sense, Hylobares, would that look handsomely? |
A51294 | I pray you deal freely and ingenuously, Hylobares, are you really more pinched then before? |
A51294 | I pray you what Story is that, Euistor? |
A51294 | I pray you what is it that pleases you so much, Philotheus? |
A51294 | I pray you what is it, Philotheus? |
A51294 | I pray you what is that, Sophron? |
A51294 | I pray you what may be the reason of it? |
A51294 | I pray you whose Lines are they, Hylobares? |
A51294 | I pray you, Bathynous, what kind of Dream was it? |
A51294 | I pray you, Cuphophron, is Philotheus and the rest of his Company come? |
A51294 | I pray you, what is that Scruple, Hylobares? |
A51294 | I pray you, what think you of that, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | I pray, what are those, Hylobares? |
A51294 | I prithee, Euistor, what is it? |
A51294 | In the name of God, what do you mean, Hylobares, to answer so phantastically in so serious a cause? |
A51294 | In this last Point, Hylobares? |
A51294 | In what Extensum therefore is ● ● scribed? |
A51294 | In what capacity of Salvation were they then, O Sophron, for some thousands of years together, who yet are certainly of a lapsed race? |
A51294 | In what immense removes are they one beyond another? |
A51294 | In what therefore does the one describe, suppose, a circular Line, the other a Conicum? |
A51294 | In what, Hylobares? |
A51294 | Is it not better being in this cool Arbour? |
A51294 | Is it not infinitely incredible, Philotheus, if not impossible, that some thousands of Spirits may dance or march on a Needle''s point at once? |
A51294 | Is 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? |
A51294 | Is it not so, Eui ● ● or? |
A51294 | Is it not the perfection of Knowledge to know things as they are in their own nature? |
A51294 | Is it the Authority of the Catholick Church? |
A51294 | Is it then united to the inside of the Body, Cuphophron, or to the outside? |
A51294 | Is not that Bravery which Americus Vesputius records in his Voiage to the New- found- world very ghastly tragicall? |
A51294 | Is not their Soul mere Mechanicall motion, according to that admirable Philosopher? |
A51294 | Is not this something inhospitall for us all to fall upon Cuphophron thus in his own Arbour at once? |
A51294 | Is then the power of moving the Body thus by her Will in the Soul, or out of the Soul? |
A51294 | Is this the utmost of your Difficulty, Hylobares? |
A51294 | Is this your Sagacity or deep Melancholy, Bathynous, that makes you surmize such Plots against the Deity? |
A51294 | Is your Scepticism in this point so powerfull as still to be able to bear up against them? |
A51294 | It must be acknowledged; what then? |
A51294 | Leave we nothing to our selves, Save a Voice; what need we else? |
A51294 | Matter in potentia? |
A51294 | Must not then some diviner Principle be at the bottom, that thus cancells the Mechanicall Laws for the common good? |
A51294 | Of the Bridegroom his not lying with his own Bride the first night, but some other of the like quality? |
A51294 | Or can you compare your distinct Selfship with this immense compass, and yet not conceive your self surrounded? |
A51294 | Or thus, Cuphophron, Does not the So ● l move the Body? |
A51294 | Or thus: If this multitude of Divine Atoms be God, be they interspersed amongst all the matter of the World? |
A51294 | Or what more outrageous specimen of Madness, then the killing and slaying for the Non- belief of such things? |
A51294 | Shame take you, Hylobares, have you hit on that piece of Waggery once again? |
A51294 | Si tibi non annis corpus jam marcet? |
A51294 | Spectatum admissi risum teneatis, ami ● i? |
A51294 | Tell me therefore, Hylobares, why do you think that the World was not created till about six thousand years agoe? |
A51294 | That God is so the Essence and Substance of all things, that they are but as dependent Accidents of him? |
A51294 | That is not much strained, C ● phophron; but what then? |
A51294 | That it is better for them is plain according to the opinion of all Metaphysicians: but how is it better for the Universe, Philotheus? |
A51294 | That''s a Paradox indeed: why so, I pray you, Hylobares? |
A51294 | That''s a very odd thing of the men of Arcladam, Euistor: I pray you, what is it? |
A51294 | The contrivance of the Earth into Hills and Springs and Rivers, into Quarries of Stone and Metall: is not all this for the best? |
A51294 | There''s a reason indeed, Hylobares; how can it then be the real Rendezvous of separate Souls? |
A51294 | They 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? |
A51294 | This first was by far the more difficult Probleme of the two, and how easily has he solved it? |
A51294 | This is the very Philosophy of the Apostle, O Philotheus, What fruit have ye then of those things whereof ye are now ashamed? |
A51294 | This is very judiciously advertised of Bathynous, is it not, Hylobares? |
A51294 | WHat tall Instrument is this, O Cuphophron, that you have got thus unexpectedly into your Arbour? |
A51294 | Was it a delusion of my sight? |
A51294 | Was there not a first six thousand years of Duration from the beginning of the World, supposing it began so timely as you have described? |
A51294 | What Envy, but Self- love grieved at the sense of its own Want, discovered and aggravated by the fulness of another''s enjoyment? |
A51294 | What Mysterious conceits has Bathynous of what can be but a mere Vacuum at best? |
A51294 | What Verses do you mean, Euistor? |
A51294 | What a chearfull thing the apprehension of Truth is, that it makes Hylobares so pleasant and so witty? |
A51294 | What a youthfull conceit has your Phancy slipt into, O Cuphophron? |
A51294 | What are those Scruples, Hylobares? |
A51294 | What do you mean by Capacity, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | What do you mean? |
A51294 | What do you understand by Self- activity in a Spirit, Hylobares? |
A51294 | What had the Godly whereupon to employ their Wit and Abilities, if they had no enemies to grapple with? |
A51294 | What if I should say it is onely spatium imaginarium, Hylobares? |
A51294 | What is it that he says, Euistor? |
A51294 | What is it that pinches you there, Hylobares? |
A51294 | What is it then, dear Cuphophron? |
A51294 | What is it? |
A51294 | What is that, Hylobares? |
A51294 | What makes the Schools then so earnest in obtruding upon us the belief, that nothing but nunc permanens is competible to the Divine Existence? |
A51294 | What more phrantick then the figment of Transubstantiation, and of infallible Lust, Ambition, and Covetousness? |
A51294 | What moves the Bodies of Brutes, Hylobares? |
A51294 | What say you now, Hylobares, to Philotheus his assoiling these your last and most puzzling and confounding Difficulties about natural Evils? |
A51294 | What say you to this, Philotheus? |
A51294 | What then, Philotheus? |
A51294 | What then? |
A51294 | What therefore could Providence doe better, then to make their Species immortal by a continued Propagation and Succession? |
A51294 | What think you of the Roman Pontif? |
A51294 | What think you of these Instances, O Sophron? |
A51294 | What think you of this, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | What think you, Gentlemen? |
A51294 | What think you, Hylobares? |
A51294 | What wisedome is that which flows out of the Divine Life, O Bathynous? |
A51294 | What would become of those enravishing Vertues of Humility, Meekness, Patience and Forbearance, if there were no Injuries amongst men? |
A51294 | What would he infer from all this? |
A51294 | What''s Plague and Prison, loss of Friends, War, Dearth, and Death that all things ends? |
A51294 | What''s that, Euistor? |
A51294 | What''s that, Euistor? |
A51294 | What''s that, Euistor? |
A51294 | What''s that, Hylobares? |
A51294 | What''s that, Hylobares? |
A51294 | What''s that? |
A51294 | What''s the matter with Hylobares, that he raps out Greek in this unusual manner? |
A51294 | What, do you mean to make us all Horses, to whistle us while we are a- drinking? |
A51294 | What, do you think any harder or greater, O Sophron, then are comprised in those elegant, though impious, Verses of Lucretius? |
A51294 | What, has all my expectation then vanished into a Dream? |
A51294 | What? |
A51294 | Where should it be else? |
A51294 | Where''s now the Objects of thy Fears, Needless Sighs and fruitless Tears? |
A51294 | Wherefore why should it be expected that Divine Providence should forthwith take vengeance of the Executioners of his own Justice? |
A51294 | Whether 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? |
A51294 | Which if it were true, what great charge could be laid against Nature for making so admirable and usefull a Fabrick? |
A51294 | Who can believe men upon their own Authority that are once deprehended in so gross and impious an Imposture? |
A51294 | Who can imagine to the contrary? |
A51294 | Who knows but that they may understand that mystically, as the Persians expound like passages in Mahomet''s Alcoran? |
A51294 | Who knows, Euistor, but most of these men were Voluntiers, and had a minde to serve the Great Cham in the other World? |
A51294 | Why do you smile, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Why may we not then adde that which follows in Homer, — 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A51294 | Why not, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Why not? |
A51294 | Why of wit and folly, Bathynous? |
A51294 | Why should he so, Hyloares, sith the Creation of this middle Order makes the numbers of the pure Intellectual Orders never the fewer? |
A51294 | Why so, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | Why so, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Why so, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Why so, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Why so, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Why, Hylobares, what conceit have you of a Spirit, that you should think it a thing impossible? |
A51294 | Why, I prithee, Cuphophron, how many hours, or rather minutes, is it since that confusion first surprized thee? |
A51294 | Why, Philotheus? |
A51294 | Why, are there just Two? |
A51294 | Why, did not your self call this Dream of Bathynous a Divine Dream, before I came to make this important use of it? |
A51294 | Why, do you think, Bathynous, that Pythagoras or Plato ever travelled into America? |
A51294 | Why, what remains of Difficulty, Hylobares, either touching the Natural or Moral Evils in the World? |
A51294 | Why, what strange thing is that which follows, Euistor? |
A51294 | Why, what''s the matter, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | Why? |
A51294 | Why? |
A51294 | Why? |
A51294 | Why? |
A51294 | Why? |
A51294 | Why? |
A51294 | Will you please to make a step up into the Garden? |
A51294 | Wit and Phancy whether wilt thou goe? |
A51294 | You abound in all manner of Civilities, Cuphophron: But do not you play on this Instrument your self? |
A51294 | a Silver- one? |
A51294 | and 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? |
A51294 | and yet how luckily had he hit, if he had but made use of the usual name Papa? |
A51294 | but what do you mean, O Philotheus, by ● ● ● finactivity? |
A51294 | can not the Omnipotence of God himself discerp a Spirit, if he has a minde to it? |
A51294 | did not the bare Deity, as you called it, step out then into externall Action? |
A51294 | has not Cuphophron made a very rapturous Harangue? |
A51294 | have we any thing, Cuphophron? |
A51294 | is it not? |
A51294 | or did there a Star shoot obliquely as I put my head out of the Arbour? |
A51294 | or do they keep together? |
A51294 | or how again do these Atomes, though not interspersed, communicate Notions one with another for one Design? |
A51294 | or how can it order the matter of those Vortices from which it is so far distant? |
A51294 | or how can they be said to be prosperous, who have nothing succeed according to their own scope and meaning? |
A51294 | or is it a counterfeit complaint and a piece of sportfull Drollery with Cuphophron? |
A51294 | or what can be the motion of blind Necessity but peremptory and perpetual Fluctuation? |
A51294 | or what do they doe? |
A51294 | or what is it? |
A51294 | or what will become of Memorie? |
A51294 | quid mortem congemis ac fles? |
A51294 | was there ever a more unfortunate Mis- hap then this? |
A51294 | what Dungeon more noisome, horrid or dismall, then their suspicious Ignorance, and oppressing loads of surprising Grief and Melancholy? |
A51294 | what can Mechanicall motion doe, if not produce that simple Phaenomenon of Liquidity? |
A51294 | what is the Principle of their Union? |
A51294 | what is the greates ● horrour that surprises you in this Custome, Euistor? |
A51294 | what rare work could I make of it? |
A51294 | what then strangling Cares, then the severe Sentences of their own prejudging Fears? |

A01093 | ( saith Hugo de Victore) Quis rursùm, per aestiva eum signa ascendere facit? |
A01093 | 2 Let vs now come to the second of Plutarch''s instances; that is, vnto Lawgiuers; and see, whether any of them haue beene Atheists? |
A01093 | 3 Now, whence commeth this rising, and falling of Cities; and why doth this happen rather vnto the principals, then it doth vnto others? |
A01093 | 8 Now, what is the end of all this long discourse, but onely that, which I noted in the beginning of the Treatise? |
A01093 | Ac arbitraris, homines perpetuò deceptos nunqu ● m sensisse? |
A01093 | Againe, would a Beast be content, to be so subiect vnto man, if it could giue it selfe Reason? |
A01093 | An per numm ● s ferreos, si ● ut Bizantij? |
A01093 | An quisquam est alius liber, nisi ducere vitam, Cui licet, vt voluit; Licet vt volo viuere; non sum Liberior Bruto? |
A01093 | An tu putas, opinionem hominibus a Dijs innatam fuisse? |
A01093 | And Solon prayeth vnto the Muses, to obtaine felicitie for him, from the Gods: — Musae? |
A01093 | And againe, Quid potest esse mundo valentius, quod impellat, atque moueat? |
A01093 | And againe, a little after: What it is, that the Almighty is able to doe for them? |
A01093 | And againe, in another place: That there is but Anima vna,& vit ● vna:& quisnam ille praeter vnum Deum? |
A01093 | And how came hee to know this? |
A01093 | And how the Ayre both compasseth, and carrieth still Earths frame? |
A01093 | And is onely the Atheist wise, because he denieth God? |
A01093 | And it is true indeede, Quis enim, mundu ● contuens, Deum esse non sentit? |
A01093 | And labor ille potest Divis nunq ● àm esse molestus? |
A01093 | And may we not beleeue, There is a God; notwithstanding their dissension and strife about God? |
A01093 | And the Congregation they are appointed to pray: Is any man sicke among you? |
A01093 | And then, whilest hee was running, he scornefully asked him, Whether now hee thought there were any motion? |
A01093 | And therefore King Ochus, being asked by his sonne, by what meanes he had preserued his kingdome so long? |
A01093 | And therefore( saith Lucilius) Qu ● credimus, divitias vllas animum expl ● re posse? |
A01093 | And what againe that, which moueth it? |
A01093 | And where is now that Soule of theirs; which, but a little before, he made the mouer of them? |
A01093 | And who fetcheth him againe, from the West into the East? |
A01093 | And why so? |
A01093 | And, if wee can neither see, nor heare, nor reade, that there were euer any such; why should wee be so light as to beleeue there should be such? |
A01093 | And, though they themselues doe sometimes vainely boast, that their tongues are their owne, and that they will speake, for who is Lord ouer them? |
A01093 | Are Fooles, the fittest Iudges, to determine so great matters? |
A01093 | Are all those wise Lawgiuers, who haue giuen Lawes and orders to all people and nations, on a sudden become fooles; because they beleeue a God? |
A01093 | Are not these to be derided? |
A01093 | Are ye not rebellious children, and a false seed? |
A01093 | As Horace insinuateth, in the part of his diuision: Stellae, sponte sua, iussaenè vagentur,& errent? |
A01093 | As Pacianus hath plainely, and truely affirmed: Dic, oro, ● rater, Musae literas repererunt? |
A01093 | As from a single vnion, who sees not; Innumerable numbers are begot? |
A01093 | At, quomodò i d, cùm ab aliquo moveatur, eorum quae moventur primum erit? |
A01093 | Aut tanquàm figuli instantes operí ▪ rotaeque, Nunquam decedant scamno, nunquàm otia captent? |
A01093 | But 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? |
A01093 | But how came he thither? |
A01093 | But how then can God be sayd to be One, if no created Vnitie be sufficient to expresse him? |
A01093 | But how? |
A01093 | But now, all the Quaestion is, Whence this vertue is? |
A01093 | But what? |
A01093 | But who is then this Gi ● ●, that in such sort disposeth those graces, as he pleaseth? |
A01093 | But why saith he in his heart, rather then in hi ● mouth, that There is no God? |
A01093 | But yet, a greater Question remaines still behind: By whose wisdome it is, that the Heauens and Starres be mooued? |
A01093 | But yet, — Ridentem dicere verum, Quid vetat? |
A01093 | But, what is the Atheist then, if he be not a man? |
A01093 | But, what was the ende of all this wicked glory, and of his prophane consecrating himselfe for a God? |
A01093 | But, what was the euent of this his proud conceit? |
A01093 | By what steps, did Romulus ascend, and climbe vp into heauen? |
A01093 | Can any man be free, but he, that may liue as he list? |
A01093 | Can he then be a God, whom one law ties, And seruant makes, to such set officies? |
A01093 | Cogitemus( saith hee) quî fieri possit, vt tanta magnitudo, ab aliqua possit natura, tanto tempore, circumferri? |
A01093 | Concluding there his Chapter, with this notable increpation of Atheists, and such like vngodly men: Ergonè Deum Elephanti venerantur? |
A01093 | Consid ● rare oportet, vtrùm sit causa motus& principium, i d, quod motu seipsum ciet; an i d, quod ab alio ● gitatur? |

A01093 | Cur? |
A01093 | Dasne igitur hoc nobis, Pomponi, Naturam omnem di ● initùs regi? |
A01093 | De Creatura mihi salus est? |
A01093 | Deus, illa non potuit vera, machinari& effìcere, quae potuit solertia hominis imitatione simulare? |
A01093 | Dic, or ●, Frater, Musae literas repererunt? |
A01093 | Did God leaue it vnreuenged? |
A01093 | Do not their trembling ioynts then dreade his Rod? |
A01093 | Do we inquire what is the Cause? |
A01093 | Doest thou sweare, like a Bizantian, by their yron pence? |
A01093 | Doth the soule of any other thing know God, to be the maker of euery good thing, but only the soule of man? |
A01093 | Esine illis adeò dulcis labor ill ● rotandi? |
A01093 | Et quî perpetuò terras ambítque, vehítque, Non premat incumbens oneri, nec cesserit aër? |

A01093 | First, that if these men were no true Atheists indeed, why were they so condemned? |
A01093 | For 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? |
A01093 | For he sayth, that, when the Heauens do begin once to lighten: — Et magnum percurrunt murmura coelum; Non populi gentésque tremunt? |
A01093 | For 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? |
A01093 | For how can that be the first moouing of all other, which it selfe is moued by another? |
A01093 | For how can there be any godlines, where there is no God? |
A01093 | For how could the opinions of the Greekes, or Romanes, pierce into the extreamest India''s: where their names were neuer heard? |
A01093 | For the first of whom, Protagoras; though his fault were nothing else, but a seeming to doubt, whether there were a God? |
A01093 | For what can be more distant, then Polytheisme, and Atheisme? |
A01093 | For what can be with out the compasse of All things? |
A01093 | For what can possibly be true, if the Testimonie of Truth be not? |
A01093 | For what comparison can Diagoras hold with Pythagoras? |
A01093 | For 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? |
A01093 | For why should we not iudge, that he, who is the author of all good, should specially be the giuer of the greatest good? |
A01093 | For, Cui potius quisquam credat, quàm Deo? |
A01093 | For, Qualis honor, vel quale lucrum, vel quanta voluptas, Esse potest Divis, versantibus aethera semper? |
A01093 | For, Quodnam erit, obsecro,( saith Nazianzene) a quo vniuersum hoc mouebitur? |
A01093 | For, being demanded, An sint Dij? |
A01093 | For, how could it then be imprinted into Children? |
A01093 | For, how differ they? |
A01093 | For, how should either swearing, or blaspheming, or idolatrizing, be sinne; if there were not a God, against whom they were committed? |
A01093 | For, if it were fatall for those Cities to rise, how come they to their fall? |
A01093 | For, if they were not Atheists; why were they by God punished? |
A01093 | For, to threaten, is ridiculous; but euen among vs men, where, there is not a power, to inflict, what one doth threaten? |
A01093 | For, what can be greater madnes, then either to call him Almighty, of whom they aske, What he can do for them? |
A01093 | For, what can that be, which giueth being vnto all things, but onely God? |
A01093 | For, what oth ● r account can there iustly be made of him? |
A01093 | For, what other could set bounds, both vnto Heauen and Earth, but onely the Creator and Maker of them both? |
A01093 | From whence hee there inferreth, Quis igitur neget, omnes leues, omnes cupidos, omnes d ● mque improbos, esse servos? |
A01093 | Haec omnia( saith hee) quid ad illud summum, atque( vt ita dicam) vnicè vnum, vbi vnitatem consubstantialitas facit? |
A01093 | Hast thou giuen vnto the horse his strength? |
A01093 | Hath a man therefore no soule; because the Philosophers can not agree what it is? |
A01093 | He did but onely professe, that he would not as then, entertaine the disputation, Whether there were a God or no? |
A01093 | He moueth the question, Whether of the twaine is the beginning of motion? |
A01093 | He that is the Author of all good, why should hee not be the Author of the greatest good? |
A01093 | He that planted the Eare, shall he not heare? |
A01093 | Hee, thinking that he had meant; Whether he were indeed, a true Atheist, or no? |
A01093 | Hic erit ergo Deus, praescriptis lege sub vnae Deditus officijs? |
A01093 | Hoc autem, quid aliud esse qu ● at, quàm Deus? |
A01093 | Homines autem, rationis participes, Sitne Deus, necne sit, dubitant? |
A01093 | How a man may heare another speake, though he should stoppe his eares? |
A01093 | How a man may remember that which he hath forgotten? |
A01093 | How a man may speake, after hee is dead? |
A01093 | How a man may teach his hand to speake? |
A01093 | How can a man possibly, looke vpon the world, but he must needes conceiu ● presently, that, surely, There is a God? |
A01093 | How can the Christians truly say, that they haue a pati ● nt God? |
A01093 | How can we beleeue, that the aboundance of any Riches, should be able to satiate a couetous mans minde? |
A01093 | How like you here, the warlike strength of this our walled Towne? |
A01093 | How long wilt thou sleepe, ô Sluggard? |
A01093 | How many differing opinions are reckoned vp by Aristotle, as concerning the soule: and how many moe by Tullie? |
A01093 | How oft hath Fortune, through the world, thinke I, Brought Slauerie, borne Imperie, and wheeled diuers ● y? |
A01093 | How th''midst of Heau''n content''s the Sun? |
A01093 | How then doest thou sweare, if thou beleeue not the gods? |

A01093 | How two may speake together, that are many miles a sunder? |
A01093 | How two may talke together, without any word spoken? |
A01093 | I may not stand to discusse vpon euery Authoritie: whether the Booke then alledged be the Authors properly? |
A01093 | I sweare by Ioue and all the Gods, good wife, He addeth immediately: Satin''hoc est tibi? |
A01093 | Idque adeò in infinitum? |
A01093 | If it should be demanded: How a voyce may bee seene? |
A01093 | If the Question( saith he) be moued, Whether there be a God? |
A01093 | If they were indeed Atheists; why were they by me excused? |
A01093 | Iob, in one place, doubteth of Gods al- seeing prouidence: How should not the times be hid from the Almighty? |
A01093 | Ipsum bonorum omnium Authorem, cur non maximi etiam boni causam arbitramur? |
A01093 | Ipsum bonorum omnium authorem cur non maximi etiam boni causam arbitrabimur? |
A01093 | Is it lawfull to proue, that our Sauionr was conceiued by the holy Ghost? |
A01093 | Is it not I the Lord? |
A01093 | Is it not from God, and by God, that a man knoweth euery thing? |
A01093 | Is it not lawfull to prooue the Articles of our Creed, because they be already beleeued? |
A01093 | Is it now become contrarie vnto it selfe; to depresse the same thing, which before it selfe aduanced? |
A01093 | Is not this a noble seruice? |
A01093 | Is there any amongst men, that brought not in with him a notion of God euen with his first entrance into the world? |
A01093 | Is there any man, that doth not bring a notion of this great Prince, into the world with him? |

A01093 | Now, if Atheists be not men, what can they be else, but monsters of men? |
A01093 | Now, if it should be demanded; Why a Stone hath not life, as well as a Tree? |
A01093 | Now, if the Sunne be but a seruant, both in his working, and in his mouing: who is then his Lord and Master, that setteth him so on doing? |

A01093 | Now, what a miserable seruant of Ambition was this man, that durst thus impotently affect it, where hee might so easily be detected? |
A01093 | Now, what can be that Vnitas, the Cause of all vnities, but onely that Vnus Deus; of whom, and through whom, and to whom, are all things? |

A09977 | 1 First, why doth GOD produce no infinite thing, no infinite effect? |
A09977 | 2 Though the immediate cause produceth the effect; yet, who is the first cause? |
A09977 | 3 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? |
A09977 | 4 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? |
A09977 | 4, and 8, 9. together: In the latter dayes there shall come scoffers,& c. saying, where is the promise of his comming? |
A09977 | 40. he addes, To whom will you liken GOD? |

A09977 | A man will be ready to say, shall I take this? |
A09977 | Afterwards 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? |
A09977 | Again, doth not the Scripture reckon them so? |
A09977 | Againe, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me? |
A09977 | Againe, are not wee commanded to pray for outward blessings? |
A09977 | Againe, can not he fill thy heart with joy and comfort? |
A09977 | Againe, suppose one should come from either of those two places, would you beleeve him? |
A09977 | Againe, the Spirit whereby the Prophets and Apostles spake to us, was it not sent from heaven? |
A09977 | Againe, 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? |
A09977 | Alas, saith Moses, who am I: Shall I go unto Pharaoh, and bid him let the children of Israel goe? |
A09977 | Alas, what is the body to it? |
A09977 | Am I not a creature? |
A09977 | And againe, is it not comfort to consider that hee is with your enemies( it may be) in a distance place? |
A09977 | And all this is for want of this faith, would this bee, if you did beleive this Allmighty power of GOD? |
A09977 | And how will he meet thee? |
A09977 | And it is called, Compassions that faile not: why are they called so? |
A09977 | And said, hee can not doe this and this: and why? |
A09977 | And shall a man take on, because a vapour is scattered, and a flower withered, and a shadow vanished? |
A09977 | And so for Gods promises and rewards; Why will you not forbeare sinne, that you may receive the promises, and the rewards? |
A09977 | And 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? |
A09977 | And what followed that? |
A09977 | And what is the ground of that? |
A09977 | And when the Lord is with us from day to day, will you not take notice of him? |
A09977 | And why doe they doe so? |
A09977 | And will you have it to lie dead, when you have it? |
A09977 | And, how am I prest under your abominations, even as a cart is pressed with sheaves? |
A09977 | Are not men in this kinde, like to beasts, subject to sensualitie, that eate that they may play, and play that they may eate? |
A09977 | Are we stronger than he? |
A09977 | As for example, though folly be the cause, that such a businesse doth miscarry, yet who is the cause of that folly? |
A09977 | As for example; to what end, and for what occasion is this Doctrine of election delivered? |
A09977 | As for this Doctrine of Gods unchangeablenesse, what is the end, why it is revealed? |
A09977 | As if he should say, what Atheisme is this in the hearts of men? |
A09977 | As if you would choose a right jewell;( you know there are many counterfeit ones) how should you know a true one? |
A09977 | As to Paul, what was all his persecution? |
A09977 | As 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? |
A09977 | As, againe, what are all pleasant things, if a man hath not a heart to apprehend them? |
A09977 | As, is it not matter of great comfort, that in all places wee should have a GOD to doe all our businesses? |
A09977 | Aske that Church, that Synod of men, what is that which makes the Church to beleeve that the Scripture is the Word of God? |
A09977 | Be 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? |
A09977 | Be ready to say in this case, as Haman of Mordecai; what availeth it me, if Mordecai yet live? |
A09977 | Because they doe something? |
A09977 | Because we expect something; because we thinke we are not well dealt with; and why doe we thinke so? |
A09977 | Because when Peter said they had left all; Christ tels them they should have an hundred fold, and why? |
A09977 | Besides, doe wee not heare this speech of man? |
A09977 | Besides, what makes a man to depart from his profession? |
A09977 | Boast not of time; why doest thou deferre the time? |
A09977 | But how shall I come to get such a desire? |
A09977 | But how shall I conceive of a Spirit? |
A09977 | But how shall I doe to know this? |
A09977 | But how shall I know it, you will say? |
A09977 | But how shall I know this, whether my soule doth rule or no? |
A09977 | But how shall a man get his minde to such a frame? |
A09977 | But how shall we doe this? |
A09977 | But how should we know that the Iewes are true? |
A09977 | But is not this rule too strait? |
A09977 | But may wee not love him, and love other things also? |
A09977 | But must it be a bare and empty thought of him onely? |
A09977 | But my inclinations are strong, and I can not rule them: what must I doe then? |
A09977 | But needeth hee, or this relict of his, Epistles of commendation from us unto your Honour, who knew him so well? |
A09977 | But 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? |
A09977 | But the creatures are of great moment, experience shewes them to be something: for, who lives without them? |
A09977 | But 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? |
A09977 | But what if they fast and pray? |
A09977 | But what is that more particularly? |
A09977 | But what is that pollution of spirit, or what is that which doth defile it? |
A09977 | But what use is there of this Doctrine? |
A09977 | But when men consider that they have the great God on their side, to beare themselves upon, why should not they have great mindes? |
A09977 | But when they are gone, they are a weake and a naked people, how shall they doe to live? |
A09977 | But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven of heavens can not containe him? |
A09977 | But will not you have us to use such things? |
A09977 | But 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? |
A09977 | But you will say, I doe all for this end, to serve God and men? |
A09977 | But you will say, What is this to walke with the Lord? |
A09977 | But you will say, how can they be lesse than nothing? |
A09977 | But 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? |
A09977 | But you will say, what if I fall into sin? |
A09977 | But you will say, why then is it that they are brought so low? |
A09977 | But you will say; What is the meaning of that? |
A09977 | But you will say; they are perfect in their kinde, how then are they imperfect? |
A09977 | But, you will say, If it be of so much moment, then what is the way to strengthen our faith in them? |
A09977 | But, 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? |
A09977 | Can any man hide himselfe in secret places, that I shall not see him, saith the Lord? |
A09977 | Can wee live without friends, estate convenient? |
A09977 | Can wee live without them? |
A09977 | Did ever any man upon his death- bed say so? |
A09977 | Did he any wrong? |
A09977 | Doe not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? |
A09977 | Doe not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? |
A09977 | Doe not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? |
A09977 | Doe we provoke the Lord to jealousie? |
A09977 | Doe you finde it so easie a thing, to believe in difficulties, as in facility? |
A09977 | Doe 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? |
A09977 | Doe you thinke, that Paul never prayed before, when he was a Pharise? |
A09977 | Doe you thinke, that there you shall have a worse condition than here? |
A09977 | Doth not hee see my wayes and count all my steps? |
A09977 | Every 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? |
A09977 | Every creature hath his severall bounds and limits, thus farre shall they goe, and no further; but who hath set bounds to him? |
A09977 | Eye- service is, when a man doth it in the outward shew, and appearance onely, and what is the other, to doe a thing heartily? |
A09977 | For can not GOD doe it, when things are not probable, as well as when there are the fairest blossomes of hope? |
A09977 | For what can Satan do to him? |
A09977 | For what is faith? |
A09977 | For what is it that makes the minde great? |
A09977 | For what is the reason that man is so fickle? |
A09977 | For what is this body, wherein the soule is? |
A09977 | For why doe wee thinke men to bee present, but because they see and heare? |
A09977 | For, for what end hath he revealed to us that he is unchangeable? |
A09977 | From whence come warres and fightings among you? |
A09977 | Hast thou not begun many good workes, and never finished them? |
A09977 | Hast thou not found that property of folly in thee, To begin stil to live? |
A09977 | Hath 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? |
A09977 | He is full of being, and though thou perish, what is that to him? |
A09977 | Hee that made the eye, shall he not see? |
A09977 | Hence I reason thus: the wisedome of GOD, the largenesse and infinitenesse of his understanding and knowledge, what is it not able to conceive? |
A09977 | Hence 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? |
A09977 | How a man shall come to this greatnesse of mind, what rise it hath from the greatnesse of God? |
A09977 | How can we see him that is invisible? |
A09977 | How doest thou conceive of the soule of another man when thou speakest to him? |
A09977 | How doth the Lord speake to us now? |
A09977 | How the Lord imployed himselfe before the creation of the World? |
A09977 | How? |
A09977 | I have made a covenant with mine eyes: why then should I thinke upon a maid? |
A09977 | I have much credit and estate, but what glory hath it brought to IESVS CHRIST? |
A09977 | I say, what is the reason of this, if there be not some grounds of secret Atheisme in men? |
A09977 | If God will take a few out of a Nation, and destroy all the rest, who can say any thing to him? |
A09977 | If one of us were to suffer, as the Martyrs did, what is it that would establish our soules? |
A09977 | If there be a God, what is the reason that this comes to passe? |
A09977 | If there bee a freind that thou lovest, doest thou not desire to bee with him? |
A09977 | If thou hast a friend all- sufficient, hast thou not need to walke with him? |
A09977 | If thou wouldest shew thy love to God, why doest thou not walke with him? |
A09977 | If you say, May not a man pray sometimes, when he is walking, or lying, or riding by the way, or the like? |
A09977 | In the beginning was the Word,& c. Where doth any booke expresse it selfe, in a manner, in the relation of any stories? |
A09977 | Indeed he made but one world to our knowledge, but who knoweth what he did before, and what he will doe after? |
A09977 | Is he not free? |
A09977 | Is it a great thing for him to die, when he hath the same company, and the same friends with him still? |
A09977 | Is it not from hence, that they have no being of their owne? |
A09977 | Is it not, because our affections are set upon changeable objects, vpon the creatures? |
A09977 | Is not he then the worthiest and the highest object, on whom they should bestow their thoughts? |
A09977 | Is not this an argument of secret Atheisme and impiety in the heart of every man, more or lesse? |
A09977 | It is a thing that we come short of, for the most part, for we are ready to aske, what is God to us? |
A09977 | It is for himselfe? |
A09977 | It is one thing to beleive GODS Allmighty power, and who doubts of it? |
A09977 | It is sin that bringeth destruction, and doth precipitate a man thereunto; but who is it that leaveth men to their sins and lusts? |
A09977 | It is true, he doth it by meanes: and if you say, what are those meanes? |
A09977 | It might be a false relation, would you beleeve him without further ground? |
A09977 | Know ye not, that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? |
A09977 | Knowest thou what is in the wombe of the day? |
A09977 | May not I doe what I will with mine owne? |
A09977 | May not he doe what he will? |
A09977 | Must we not have friends, house, wife,& c.? |
A09977 | My trade hath brought me home much, but how serviceable have I been with it? |
A09977 | Now come to a beleever going out of the world, and aske him what hope hee hath to be saved, and what ground for it? |
A09977 | Now if they did so, doe you not thinke it is hard for you to doe otherwise? |
A09977 | Now 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? |
A09977 | Now shall they not finde this in the Lord more than in any creature? |
A09977 | Now what use should we make of this? |
A09977 | Now, 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? |
A09977 | Now, if thou saist, I have thus behaved my selfe, and have not beene answered? |
A09977 | Now, whence comes this uneven walking, this exorbitance of the wheeles, but from the weaknesse of the maine spring, that sets all on motion? |
A09977 | Now, whence comes this? |
A09977 | Now, who was it that did drie the earth againe, and now reserveth it to the day of Iudgement to be destroyed by fire? |
A09977 | Oh but, you say, the world hath continued very long, and there is a promise of his comming, but we see no such thing? |
A09977 | Onely this question may be asked, Whether he be without the world, as well as he is in the world? |
A09977 | Or Moses to lead the children of Israel into the Land of Canaan, but Ioshua must have the glory of it? |
A09977 | Or shall the Sunne be beholding to him that hath the use of his light? |
A09977 | Or unto others, besides this Inscription of, and Dedication to your Name? |
A09977 | Riches take to themselves wings, and fly away; And, why doest thou set thy heart upon that which is nothing? |
A09977 | Saith 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? |
A09977 | Secondly, he considers the greatnesse, and strength and power of God; and from thence he drawes this conclusion, whom shall I feare? |
A09977 | Shall he say, and not doe it? |
A09977 | Shall hee be present with us, wheresover wee are; when we goe by the way, or lie in our beds, or sit in our houses? |
A09977 | Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, what makest thou? |
A09977 | Shall the clay say to him that maketh it, why doest thou so? |
A09977 | So God, because hee is the first cause, hee may have what end he will, and no man can say, why doest thou so? |
A09977 | So he that is a Minister; it is true, I have enough, enough credit, enough for estate; but what is this? |
A09977 | So if I should aske another, whether grace, or outward excellency were better? |
A09977 | So if any condition befall you, if you can bee content with GOD alone, you are well, what if your friends deceive you? |
A09977 | So likewise for the beginning of Arts and Sciences; what is the reason that the originall of them is knowne? |
A09977 | So what is the reason, that the praise, and credit of men, doe so much affect you? |
A09977 | So 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? |
A09977 | So, who can implant holy affections in thee, but he alone? |
A09977 | Stultitia semper incipit vivere? |
A09977 | That which is said of man, may be said of every thing else; What hast thou, that thou hast not received? |
A09977 | The LORD is my light, and my salvation, whom shall I feare? |
A09977 | The LORD is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? |
A09977 | The Lord answeres him; Is the Lords hand shortened, that he can not helpe? |
A09977 | The Lord is my light, and my salvation, whom shall I feare? |
A09977 | The objection then is; there are many that doe not trust in God, and yet they bring their things to passe? |
A09977 | There 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? |
A09977 | Therefore 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? |
A09977 | Therefore 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? |
A09977 | Therefore, why is he forgotten? |
A09977 | Therfore do not thou dispute with God, and aske, why are so many damned? |
A09977 | Therfore say, what a foole was I? |
A09977 | Thinke with thy selfe, that when he first chooseth a man, he doth it freely; and thinkest thou that he is not the same afterwards? |
A09977 | To compare him, with the greatest of men, Kings, what are they unto him, who is the King of Kings? |
A09977 | To what end are more lights brought, but that you should see things more clearely, which you did not before? |
A09977 | To which I may adde this; that, who knoweth what the Lord hath done? |
A09977 | What am I to be sent on this errand? |
A09977 | What art thou that contendest with him? |
A09977 | What better are they? |
A09977 | What doe you thinke they would have said to men that offered them riches? |
A09977 | What if God will not have David to build a Temple, but his sonne must doe it? |
A09977 | What if you should bee shut up in a close prison? |
A09977 | What is his name, or what is his Sonnes name, if thou canst tell? |
A09977 | What is it for, then? |
A09977 | What is it to that God, with whom I must live for ever? |
A09977 | What is your meaning then to have GOD alone for our portion? |
A09977 | What though it never breakes forth into outward actions? |
A09977 | Whence come those complaints of the unthankfulnesse of friends and pupils, and those we doe good to? |
A09977 | Whence comes this, but because we forget the Allmighty power of GOD? |
A09977 | Whence comes this, but because we have not beene wonted to walke with the LORD? |
A09977 | Whence comes this? |
A09977 | Whence is it that men are so fearefull to holde out the light of a holy profession? |
A09977 | Whence is this stupiditie both wayes? |
A09977 | Whereas this objection might be made; Will he cast men to hell? |
A09977 | Wherefore doe you spend money for that, which is not bread? |
A09977 | Who can dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A09977 | Who hath ascended up to heaven, or descended? |
A09977 | Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servants, that walketh in darknesse, and hath no light? |
A09977 | Who should aske, why deales GOD thus with his Church? |
A09977 | Why am I thus subject to diseases and crosses? |
A09977 | Why are these set downe? |
A09977 | Why are we as beasts, led with sensuality, that we will not be drawne to that which belongs to God ▪ and his Kingdome? |
A09977 | Why doest thou boast of to morrow? |
A09977 | Why doth he put these two together thus? |
A09977 | Why have I not greater imployments? |
A09977 | Why have I such imperfections? |
A09977 | Why have not I more gifts? |
A09977 | Why is such a corporall gesture noted in the text? |
A09977 | Why is this Attribute revealed to you? |
A09977 | Why sayest thou O Iacob, and speakest O Israel; My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgement is passed over from my GOD? |
A09977 | Why should they not be made all together? |
A09977 | Why the Church of the Grecians, those famous Churches; why the golden Candlestickes were removed from them? |
A09977 | Why 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? |
A09977 | Why? |
A09977 | Why? |
A09977 | Why? |
A09977 | Why? |
A09977 | Wilt thou dispute with God? |
A09977 | Wilt thou goe to weake man, and have him to pitty thee? |
A09977 | Would they not have slighted them? |
A09977 | Yea, but how doest thou bestow thy labour? |
A09977 | Yea, but these were but weake women, and we hope our faith may be stronger than theirs? |
A09977 | Yea, but will Pharaoh be moved with words? |
A09977 | You will say, this is a mans naturall condition indeed, but how shall this be helped? |
A09977 | and how long hath he continued that expensive worke of governing the world, to shew forth the riches of his goodnesse, patience& forbearance? |
A09977 | and is not this thine end, to serve God and men? |
A09977 | and is there any then that thou shouldest choose to walke with more than with him? |
A09977 | and shall not we take notice of his presence, and direct our thoughts to him, and apply our selves to him? |
A09977 | and what need had he of riches, or lands, or friends? |
A09977 | and when any alterations come to passe, who is he that stoppeth them? |
A09977 | and who is able to judge of him or of his actions? |
A09977 | and why doe men joyne other things with him? |
A09977 | and your labour for that, which satisfieth not? |
A09977 | are they brought home to him? |
A09977 | art thou not a creature? |
A09977 | art thou not made? |
A09977 | as if he should say; he is a great God, who can come neere him? |
A09977 | as the former and latter raine: doth not God give more or lesse, according to his good pleasure? |
A09977 | but because we have so litle mindes? |
A09977 | but what hast thou to- doe with the Lord? |
A09977 | come they not hence, even of your lusts that warre in your members? |
A09977 | doe their hearts get any thing? |
A09977 | every 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? |
A09977 | from God or from men? |
A09977 | hast thou not heard that the everlasting GOD the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary? |
A09977 | have I brought any glory to the Lord? |
A09977 | have I converted any? |
A09977 | have I no other end, but my selfe? |
A09977 | have I such a heart that will carry me to sinne? |
A09977 | he findes his heart so disposed, that he begins to quarrell with his heart, and to fall out with it; and to say; What? |
A09977 | he that made the eare, shall not he heare? |
A09977 | he would say, grace: but then why doe you not bestow some time about it, to get it? |
A09977 | how carefull would he be to spend this houre well? |
A09977 | how farre is this required in his worship? |
A09977 | how shall men deale with him? |
A09977 | if he will heale us, what needs the Physitian? |
A09977 | if hee will cloath us, and give us meat and drinke, then what needs wealth? |
A09977 | is it enough for thee to live, and no more? |
A09977 | is it in vaine? |
A09977 | is it not for our use? |
A09977 | is it not for this, that men might make use of this power of his? |
A09977 | is it not from hence, that they are pusillanimous, that they doe too much esteeme the face of men? |
A09977 | is not he onely wise to give thee direction upon all occasions? |
A09977 | is not the Lord as well able to helpe in desperate cases, if he be Allmighty? |
A09977 | it hath that part of it selfe originally? |
A09977 | or what likenesse will you compare unto him? |
A09977 | shall I bee trampled under foot? |
A09977 | shall he speake, and not make it good? |
A09977 | so 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? |
A09977 | that will not onely carry me to sinne, but to hell? |
A09977 | the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? |
A09977 | to get our spirits thus cleansed? |
A09977 | was it not the Lord? |
A09977 | what is the reason, that things are of no greater antiquity than they are? |
A09977 | what profit, what good is it to us? |
A09977 | what shall I say unto them? |
A09977 | what shall I say unto them? |
A09977 | what shall I say unto them? |
A09977 | what shall I say unto them? |
A09977 | when the times are bad, doe not men say; oh, wee shall never see better dayes? |
A09977 | whereas, if God were knowne in his greatnesse, what would the praise of great men be to the praise of the great GOD? |
A09977 | who can converse with him? |
A09977 | who hath bounded the waters in a garment? |
A09977 | who hath established all the ends of the earth? |
A09977 | who hath gathered the winds in his fist? |
A09977 | who is he that sets bounds to them, but only the Lord? |
A09977 | who knowes his counsels? |
A09977 | why are so many damned? |
A09977 | why are so many swept away? |
A09977 | why are there any alterations at all? |
A09977 | why are they not sooner perfected? |
A09977 | why doe these things goe so far, and no further? |
A09977 | why doe you studie much, and pray so little? |
A09977 | why doest thou not labour for it? |
A09977 | why doth the sea over- flow some places, and goe no further? |
A09977 | why so? |
A09977 | why were they no sooner found out? |
A09977 | why will you not hearken, and obey? |
A09977 | wil he take away his pleasure from him, his wealth, or his credit? |
A09977 | will hee damne them for his owne glory? |
A09977 | with this: Can any man hide himselfe in secret places, that I shall not see him, saith the Lord? |
A09977 | yet this is not enough; Did there follow hereupon a generall change within thy heart, and a new heart, and a new spirit given thee? |
A28520 | 25 REason( which is gone forth with Adam out of Paradise) asketh, Where is Paradise to be had[ or found]? |
A28520 | 37 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? |
A28520 | All thy Companions are so very beautifull, thou shalt have joy in them all: wherefore doest thou esteeme thy corruptible life? |
A28520 | Also where is the place of my rest? |
A28520 | Am I not thy Ornament, and thy Crowne? |
A28520 | And a He said, What hast thou done? |
A28520 | And being in his Ministry[ service or worship] wee are the most holy and best, who may compare himselfe with us? |
A28520 | And 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? |
A28520 | And he said, the Woman gave to mee and I did eate; and he said unto the Woman, Why hast thou done so? |
A28520 | And know you not that the band of the Eternity standeth free, and maketh it selfe? |
A28520 | And 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? |
A28520 | And should wee therefore say that God is well pleased with anger and strife? |
A28520 | And then cometh the Element[ of]( Earth) and saith, What will you three doe alone? |
A28520 | And where is that desirable Native Countrey where there is no death? |
A28520 | And where now shall I seeke for the fruit and profit of my Garden of Roses? |
A28520 | And where shall that[ then] remaine when this world perisheth? |
A28520 | Are wee not Lords in his Kingdome? |
A28520 | Are yee not all Brethren,& are yee not all in Christ? |
A28520 | Art thou at home in this world? |
A28520 | Art thou not Babell, a Habitation of all Devils in Pride? |
A28520 | Art thou not a light to the blinde, and appointest Teachers for them, which y drive them to patience? |
A28520 | Art thou not his work of Wonder? |
A28520 | Art thou not shining in Bravery? |
A28520 | Behold thou childe of Man, there was a threefold strife in Adam, without Adam, and in all whatsoever Adam beheld? |
A28520 | Behold thou poore soule in thy Bath of Thornes, where is thy home? |
A28520 | Behold, doest thou know how a childe cometh to be flesh and bloud? |
A28520 | Behold, out of what are the Turks growne? |
A28520 | Behold, what are thy five senses? |
A28520 | Behold, what doth comprehend thy will, or wherein consisteth thy life? |
A28520 | But it[ must be and] was made in the Paradise out of the Eternall[ Essences]? |
A28520 | But reason saith, the Body of Christ is but in one place, how can he then be every where? |
A28520 | But the Divine Answer in the Light of Nature saith to mee; Behold, out of what art thou growen? |
A28520 | But the Question is; Wherefore grew the earthly Tree of the knowledge of good and evill? |
A28520 | But thou earthly Babell, what shall I write much of thee for? |
A28520 | But thou mad world, what shall the Spirit say[ of thee]? |
A28520 | But what can be said, the Devill will have it no otherwise? |
A28520 | But what do you think that he brought to man into the flesh when he came? |
A28520 | But 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? |
A28520 | But what is the fire? |
A28520 | But what now was God to doe? |
A28520 | But what shall I spend the time for, with these testimonies? |
A28520 | But what will the Spirit of this Kingdome say? |
A28520 | But when you aske; Doth Christ sit or stand, or lye along? |
A28520 | But whence come they both? |
A28520 | But whence hath the minde its originall? |
A28520 | But where then is the New Regeneration in Christ through the Holy Ghost? |
A28520 | By what meanes then did he give the Law? |
A28520 | Can the Kingdome of Christ be found in such things? |
A28520 | Can this be no joy and rejoycing? |
A28520 | Consider thy selfe, what is it that thou art[ then]? |
A28520 | Could he not dye some other Death; and so spring through Death, with his Heavenly Body? |
A28520 | Did not he walke on foote upon earth? |
A28520 | Didst thou not see him plainly? |
A28520 | Do but look upon your self, why have you earthly thoughts of your self? |
A28520 | Doe but behold thy selfe thou blinde Minde, and consider thy selfe, where is thy Angelicall a forme in thee? |
A28520 | Doest thou aske wherefore? |
A28520 | Doest thou boast thy selfe to be a Christian, why doest thou not then beleeve his Word? |
A28520 | Doest thou not appeare in Gods deeds of Wonder? |
A28520 | Doest thou not defend thy Countrey? |
A28520 | Doest thou not know that the Tincture in the seede is a blossome of the life which qualifieth[ or mingleth] with thy body and soule? |
A28520 | Doest thou not punish the wicked, and lookest to it, where the enemy breaketh it? |
A28520 | Doest thou not right? |
A28520 | Doest 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? |
A28520 | Doest thou not stand to the honour of the Great God? |
A28520 | Doest thou not think it hath another Principle; and that thou shalt not finde it, except thou beest borne anew? |
A28520 | Doest thou not think that the Devill mocketh thee? |
A28520 | Doest thou say[ it cometh] from the hearing and seeing of a thing? |
A28520 | Doest thou still say, thou art in the Garden of Roses? |
A28520 | Doest thou suppose that God hath Adders and Serpents in the broken Gate of the Regeneration in the Pleasant Habitation? |
A28520 | Doest thou suppose that God taketh pleasure in it? |
A28520 | Doest thou suppose that it shall[ then] be an Angel? |
A28520 | Doest thou suppose that thou hast hunted away the Wolfe by this meanes? |
A28520 | Doest thou suppose that thou shalt finde the Paradise with thy Reason in thy Art? |
A28520 | Doest thou suppose wee set thee forth in vaine? |
A28520 | Doest thou suppose, that the Deity( in Christs becoming Man) divided it selfe? |
A28520 | Doest thou thinke that o he will adorne thy hypocrisie, and will hang his Pearle on thee? |
A28520 | Doth he not forgive many greater sinnes? |
A28520 | Doth he not rest in thy Armes? |
A28520 | Doth it goe farre, or doth it stay here? |
A28520 | Doth not the Regenerator bid us come to him, and whosoever cometh to him, he will not reject? |
A28520 | Doth not the Sonne see plainly what the Father doth in his house? |
A28520 | For what needed God to care so much for the biting of an Apple, as to destroy so faire a creature for it? |
A28520 | For what would it help mee, if he had brought a strange soule with him? |
A28520 | From whence cometh the Devill, and his[ evill] will; also Hell- fire, from whence hath that its Originall? |
A28520 | Had it been possible to redeem Man[ without it] what needed God to come into our forme, and be crucified? |
A28520 | Hast thou eaten of the Tree, whereof I said unto thee, that thou shouldest not eate thereof? |
A28520 | Hast thou not devoured my Branches, and brought forth young Wolves, which devoure thy b Cattle also? |
A28520 | Hast thou not taken possession of all? |
A28520 | Hast thou not the Earth in possession freely as God gave it thee? |
A28520 | Hast thou not trampled in my Garden of Roses, and there made thee a Coutch? |
A28520 | Hast thou not turned it into a horrible Worme and Beast? |
A28520 | Hath not Christ brought thee in againe, wherefore then didst thou not stay there? |
A28520 | Hath not the Deity of Christ put on the Kingdome of Heaven for a Body? |
A28520 | Hath not the Devill also been an Angel, wherefore went he away from God? |
A28520 | Have I not given thee my Spirit for a o Conductour, and allotted thee my Kingdome for thy own? |
A28520 | Have I not given thee my body for food, and my bloud for drink? |
A28520 | Have I planted thee? |
A28520 | Have not I[ saith Christ] broken thy wilde Beast? |
A28520 | Have you not turned them all into wilde branches? |
A28520 | He did not ride so; He had not whereon to lay his head: what kingdome doe you build for him? |
A28520 | Hearken beloved Reason, when the Word became Man in the body of Mary, was he not at that time also alost above the Starres? |
A28520 | Hearken, Aske your minde about it, wherefore it so suddenly generateth and conceiveth in it selfe a thought of anger, and then of love? |
A28520 | Here consider now beloved Minde, what kinde of virgin that was? |
A28520 | Here open your noble minde, see and search further; seeing God is onely Good, from whence cometh the Evill? |
A28520 | Hereupon Reason will say, is not God the Father one[ and the same] Essence with the Sonne? |
A28520 | How art thou become thus? |
A28520 | How cometh it to passe, that they lie at thy feete? |
A28520 | How doe thy silken and golden cloaths adorne thee? |
A28520 | How hast thou adorned thy selfe? |
A28520 | How is it sinne? |
A28520 | How is it, when thou thy selfe art in the Abysse with all Devills? |
A28520 | How then will thy Tree grow againe? |
A28520 | How wilt thou receive the holy Body in the Love, if thou art a Devill? |
A28520 | I perceive nothing but water, and words? |
A28520 | If Christ had brought a strange soule from Heaven, how should wee have been delivered? |
A28520 | If I might but receive thy glorious light, how full of joy should I be? |
A28520 | If Mary had proceeded out of the Trinity, where should our poore captivated soules have been? |
A28520 | If 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? |
A28520 | If 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? |
A28520 | If you did converse in Love, what should you need to strive about your Native Countrey( wherein you dwell)? |
A28520 | If you say it cometh from the light of the Sunne, then what shineth in the night, and enlighteneth your u senses and understanding so? |
A28520 | In the deep above the starres? |
A28520 | Is 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? |
A28520 | Is it a r sinne, for us to enquire after God( our salvation,) and after our true Native Countrey? |
A28520 | Is it farre off, or neere? |
A28520 | Is it in this world, or without the place of this world above the starres? |
A28520 | Is not Christs body now in the i holy Ternary, and eateth Paradisicall food? |
A28520 | Is not the Anger broke out and burning? |
A28520 | Is not the Mercy of God greater than Heaven and Earth: what doe you meane? |
A28520 | Is the Patient an Historicall Christian? |
A28520 | Is the soule Holy? |
A28520 | Is the will of God his food, why then is it not ours, if we live in him? |
A28520 | Is there not a friendly c laughter before thee? |
A28520 | Is your scorne and derision of others, Christs Meeknesse? |
A28520 | Know you not what Paul said? |
A28520 | Look upon Christs Apostles, did any other teach them than God, who was in them, and they in him? |
A28520 | Looke, what doe you finde in these things? |
A28520 | My 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? |
A28520 | NOw saith Reason, if Christ ascended thus with his body, which he b offered up on the Crosse, when was he Glorified in his body? |
A28520 | Nay, will not the Father be well pleased that his Sonne is so apt[ and forward to learn?] |
A28520 | Now Reason asketh: Whither goeth the Holy Ghost, when he goeth forth out of the Father and Sonne, through the Word of God? |
A28520 | Now deare soule, see all over round about you, in your selfe and in all things, what finde you therein? |
A28520 | Now if the Soule eateth of the cleere Deity, what[ food] hath the body then? |
A28520 | Now if you aske; Wherefore came not the Love of God to helpe them againe? |
A28520 | Now it may be asked, What then was properly the Tempting in Adam? |
A28520 | Now it may be asked, wherefore thou art called the Antichrist? |
A28520 | Now look upon an hearb or plant, and consider it, what is its life which makes it grow? |
A28520 | Now saith Reason, What is the best Counsell and Remedy for the poore soule? |
A28520 | Now saith Reason, how is the Baptisme then? |
A28520 | Now that did the vertue in Adam, in this strife? |
A28520 | Now the Question is; What is Gods Image? |
A28520 | Now the minde asketh, What is sinne then? |
A28520 | Now then Reason asketh, What doth the wicked receive which is unregenerated? |
A28520 | Now then saith Reason, whither is he gone? |
A28520 | Now then the question is, Out of what should they come forth? |
A28520 | Now thou Reason, full of misery, defects, and infirmities, how doe you thinke you should possibly stand here: would you not promise faire with Adam? |
A28520 | Now thou wilt say, what did Christ give to his Disciples in his Last Supper, when he sat with them at Table? |
A28520 | Now thus saith Reason: What are then the words of Moses concerning the Woman? |
A28520 | Now what is it that maketh the hearing, that you can heare that which stirreth and maketh a noise? |
A28520 | Now what opposed him, or what drew him from Paradise to disobedience, so that he passed into another Image[ forme or condition]? |
A28520 | Now which was the Champion in the Battle? |
A28520 | Now who is the Destroyer of this Church? |
A28520 | Now you will say, Where then shall I finde it? |
A28520 | Now, saith Reason, how could Adam and Eve know what God meant by the Treader upon the Serpent? |
A28520 | Now[ Reason''s] question is; How hath Eve received the soule from Adam? |
A28520 | O Hell, where is thy Victory? |
A28520 | O Hell, where is thy Victory? |
A28520 | O yee blinde Wolves of Babell, what have we to doe with you? |
A28520 | O you high Priests and b Scribes, what answer will you make to Christ, when you shall be found thus[ at his comming]? |
A28520 | Or art thou not that fine painted[ adorned Whore]? |
A28520 | Or canst thou not once know the thorny Bath, wherein thou swimmest? |
A28520 | Or doe you suppose you stand in the dark? |
A28520 | Or doest thou suppose m it was for nothing? |
A28520 | Or 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? |
A28520 | Or doest thou suppose that wee are mad? |
A28520 | Or doest thou suppose this is not true; which my beloved companion hath shewed mee; when he opened my eyes, that I saw? |
A28520 | Or doest thou suppose, that I write of the fall of Man without e light and understanding? |
A28520 | Or doest thou suppose, that it is an invented Fable? |
A28520 | Or doest thou suppose, that wee are madde that wee write thus? |
A28520 | Or doest thou suppose, when God became Man, that he was shut up and consined within the Humanity, and was not every where? |
A28520 | Or hast thou an Absolution for that which thou sowest in Hell? |
A28520 | Or how canst thou help them that are in Heaven? |
A28520 | Or how is his body now? |
A28520 | Or shall I be filent? |
A28520 | Or shall not the Spirit set it downe before thy eyes thou lascivious filthy Strumpet? |
A28520 | Or should I not tell thee this, thou proud Whore? |
A28520 | Or what shall thy Noble Warriour Christ say to it? |
A28520 | Or wilt thou give the new Man earthly food? |
A28520 | Or, what shall I say? |
A28520 | Or, when the soules goe into Paradise, whither do they goe? |
A28520 | Reason 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? |
A28520 | Reason asketh: How long was Adam in Paradise before his Fall, and how long did the Temptation last? |
A28520 | Reason asketh: Is Eve meerely created out of the Rib[ taken] out of Adam? |
A28520 | Reason saith how might that come to passe, that the first Man borne of a Woman was[ so evill] a malicious Murtherer? |
A28520 | Say not, What doth Baptisme availe a childe, which understandeth it not? |
A28520 | Seeing then that the soule of her childe was in the holy Trinity, what doest thou think here? |
A28520 | Shall he therefore reject the whole crop, or burne it for the Thistles and Darnells sakes? |
A28520 | Shall it stand in the Heaven in the Holy Element, or in the Abysse? |
A28520 | Shall not thy knowledge be a witnesse against thee, which shall judge thee? |
A28520 | Should he be at Enmity against himselfe? |
A28520 | That out of which these proceeded was the Roote: But what is the Roote of these things? |
A28520 | The Mother of Jesus? |
A28520 | The children of this world are wiser in their Generation than the children of Light? |
A28520 | The heavenly body of Christ did eate no earthly food, but the outward body onely did eate that? |
A28520 | Then Reason asketh: What was the rib[ taken] out of Adam to be[ made] a Woman? |
A28520 | Then how cometh the fire to be? |
A28520 | Then said Mary to the Angel, How shall that come to passe, since I know not a Man? |
A28520 | Then said the virgin; Why wilt thou use t violence? |
A28520 | Then saith Reason, wherefore doe they so? |
A28520 | Then saith the minde: Wherefore doth God let it move so long in the Anxiety? |
A28520 | Then the Minde asketh, May not a soule( by the Intercession of Men[ or their Praying for them]) be ransomed out of Purgatory? |
A28520 | Then thou hast great honour for thy great shame; and therefore why art thou so sad? |
A28520 | Then what was it that God now did with Adam? |
A28520 | Then why should the heavenly Father be so displeased with his children in this world, which depend upon him, and enquire after him? |
A28520 | Therefore consider from whence the tincture proceedeth, wherein the noble life springeth up? |
A28520 | Therefore doe but thinke what thou wilt doe, wilt thou not then curse and judge thy selfe? |
A28520 | Therefore now the question is, Where the soule of Christ was all the time that the body did Rest in the Grave? |
A28520 | Thou art a Spirit: but what kinde of source[ or property] is it that thou hast in thee? |
A28520 | Thou sayest, Christ is ascended into Heaven, how then can he be in this world? |
A28520 | Thou supposest that it is a small matter to commit whoredome: But I pray consider thy selfe, whither doest thou send thy Tincture? |
A28520 | Thou wilde Beast, how comest thou so great and strong? |
A28520 | Thou wilt aske, What is the New e Regeneration? |
A28520 | Thou wilt say, How great is that[ number] then? |
A28520 | Thou wilt say, How? |
A28520 | Thou wilt say, What was it? |
A28520 | Thy pleasure is onely in the corruptible Beast, but what doth that avayle the soule? |
A28520 | To what purpose are they invented, but for the pleasure of Antichrist, who thereby doth strut in might and pomp, and is God on Earth? |
A28520 | Was it then the purpose of God that the evill should domineere among the Good, and one plague another? |
A28520 | Was not covetousnesse thy sinne, in that thou affordest not thy Members so much as thy selfe? |
A28520 | Was not the Earth thy own? |
A28520 | What are Lawes in the Kingdome of Christ, who hath made us free, that we should walke in him in the Holy Ghost? |
A28520 | What becomes then of his eternall humanity, according to which he was a King of the promise upon the Throne of David? |
A28520 | What can be possibly named which can be more pleasant? |
A28520 | What can he said of thee O Cain? |
A28520 | What careth he for thy songs and roaring noise, if thy Heart be a murtherer and devourer? |
A28520 | What doe you doe? |
A28520 | What doth that availe us? |
A28520 | What is it now that thou c hast after thy corrupting, when thou dyest? |
A28520 | What is it now, that lyeth in the way of the wicked, that he can not come? |
A28520 | What is it that thou doest? |
A28520 | What is the Matrix out of which they should come forth? |
A28520 | What is the first matter[ of it] in him, seeing he was created out of the Originall Eternall Spirit? |
A28520 | What is their birth or off spring? |
A28520 | What sayest thou then of thy New Man? |
A28520 | What shall Saint Peter say to it, doest thou suppose that he will give thee the Keys of the Kingdome of Heaven? |
A28520 | What shall be said of you? |
A28520 | What shall become of thee then thou blind Babell? |
A28520 | What shall it doe in this Bath of Thornes and Thistles? |
A28520 | What then moved the Devill to be angry, and evill? |
A28520 | What was done there? |
A28520 | When Adam went into the wilde Garden, there he z planted thee, how art thou growen so great? |
A28520 | When God appeared to Moses in the e burning Bush, he said, Pull off thy shooes; for here is a holy place: What was that? |
A28520 | When as I am Immortall in my new Man; wherefore should I be much afraid in the Earthly Man, which belongeth to the Earth? |
A28520 | When he was at Nazareth, was he not then also at Jerusalem, and every where in all the Thrones[ of Heaven]? |
A28520 | When indeed the soule is fed with the Holy Ghost; What[ food] hath thy new Man then? |
A28520 | When thou wentest out of Paradise into this world, wherefore didst thou not continue in one[ onely] Love? |
A28520 | Whence hath it its sap, if the soule stand thus in the Bath of the Anger? |
A28520 | Where are thy Brothers and Sisters? |
A28520 | Where is it that God dwelleth with the Angels? |
A28520 | Where is the Noble fruit which I did sowe? |
A28520 | Where is the place of his Rest? |
A28520 | Where is thy Image of God? |
A28520 | Where will you seek God? |
A28520 | Wherefore art thou againe entered into the Spirit of this World? |
A28520 | Wherefore didst thou not love the members of thy body? |
A28520 | Wherefore didst thou not rejoyce in thy Neighbour? |
A28520 | Wherefore doest thou despise mee, and goest away from mee? |
A28520 | Wherefore doest thou love that wilde Beast so much, which doth but afflict thee? |
A28520 | Wherefore doest thou not embrace him? |
A28520 | Wherefore doest thou not hunt after temporall honour, after pleasure and riches, that it may goe well with thee in this world? |
A28520 | Wherefore doest thou suffer thy selfe to be despised and abused by those that are inferiour to thee, and know lesse than thou? |
A28520 | Wherefore hath God a loathing against the substance which he hath created? |
A28520 | Wherefore standeth thy Mother in e Babell, and is so very malicious? |
A28520 | Wherefore then doest thou not seek the favour and friendship of the world? |
A28520 | Wherefore then shall not our new Man doe so? |
A28520 | Which is neerest of all to the Deity? |
A28520 | Which( 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? |
A28520 | Whither flieth it when it departeth from the body? |
A28520 | Who can judge mee, lay hold of mee, and c destroy mee, when I am( in my true Man) in God? |
A28520 | Who can say that thou art a wrathfull Woman? |
A28520 | Who could understand it? |
A28520 | Who said, Love one another, be yee followers of mee, and so it shall be knowne that yee are my Disciples? |
A28520 | Who will call thee a false Woman, if thou beest so very chast? |
A28520 | Why art thou so angry, sterne,[ fierce, froward] and malicious? |
A28520 | Why did God keep Israel forty yeares in the Wildernesse, and fed them with l Heavenly Bread? |
A28520 | Why didst thou not eate with thy Brother? |
A28520 | Why doe you Layety, hang[ and depend] on such a Strumpet? |
A28520 | Why doest thou make thy selfe a foole to the world, and art every ones Owle and footstoole? |
A28520 | Why doest thou not adorne thy brother with thy ornament? |
A28520 | Why is it not so with the Beasts? |
A28520 | Why should any p resist the spirit of Prophesie, which is Gods? |
A28520 | Why shouldest thou not be stately and brave with those appearing holy hypocrites? |
A28520 | Why then doest thou contend and strive so much after worldly Honour that is transitory? |
A28520 | Why will you be fooled by Antichrist: by his lawes[ precepts] and pratings? |
A28520 | Will you take the children of the earth, and feed upon them? |
A28520 | Wilt thou be an Apostle of Christ, and wilt be but a Minister for the Belly, and teach onely according to thy Art? |
A28520 | Wilt thou say, that thou wert created thus[ as] to this world in Adam at the beginning? |
A28520 | Wilt thou say, the Devill beguiled him? |
A28520 | Wouldst thou get into Heaven? |
A28520 | Yes indeed, and he beguileth thee too, so that thou enviest the comelinesse and beauty of others: Hath God made thee a degree higher? |
A28520 | You 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?] |
A28520 | am not I Lord of the great Might of the fire? |
A28520 | am not I entred into Death? |
A28520 | am not I he that filleth all things? |
A28520 | and doe you not know that the Tincture of the Mother is the first, when a childe shall be conceived? |
A28520 | and he answered, I know not, Shall I be my Brothers keeper? |
A28520 | and in the end a living soule? |
A28520 | and n scourged, and crowned with a Crowne of Thornes, and at last be Crucified between Heaven and Earth? |
A28520 | and now if the Sonne learn to do the same thereby, what displeasure will the Father have towards his Sonne for it? |
A28520 | and that they are so leane, and thou onely art strong[ and lusty]? |
A28520 | and thou art a Beast with thy young ones: should I suffer thee in my Garden of Roses? |
A28520 | and what canst thou know then? |
A28520 | and whether this Mother may not rightly stand upon the Moone, and despise that which is earthly? |
A28520 | are not all, thy children which thou hast brought forth? |
A28520 | art thou not a childe of Eve? |
A28520 | art thou not growen in my wilde Garden? |
A28520 | consider thy selfe deeply, if thou wilt be a Searcher into Nature, and wilt boast of the light of Nature? |
A28520 | did he not eate heavenly food forty dayes in the Wildernesse, and alwayes afterwards? |
A28520 | doest thou suppose that God doth not see thee? |
A28520 | for if that had not been, Adam had not eaten of it; or wherefore must Adam be Tempted? |
A28520 | from whom doest thou teach? |
A28520 | hath it an Angelicall quality[ source or property]? |
A28520 | how doest thou stand in this Covenant before the Holy Trinity? |
A28520 | if thou wilt not enjoy my beauty? |
A28520 | in meere love) like God himselfe? |
A28520 | in thy Mausim? |
A28520 | in what vertue doe they consist? |
A28520 | is he gone out of this world, aloft above the Starres into another Heaven? |
A28520 | is it in the Divine Obedience, in the light of Joy? |
A28520 | is it now as his Disciples saw him ascend into Heaven? |
A28520 | is its source[ or quality] in love, humility, and meeknesse? |
A28520 | is not that a cheerfull welfare, when the soule dareth to looke into the Holy Trinity, wherewith it is filled? |
A28520 | is not the pure Element( wherein the Deity dwelleth) his body? |
A28520 | neither can it know mee, and wherefore then is it so mad? |
A28520 | or how come they in the life of Man? |
A28520 | or how is that done in Man? |
A28520 | or rather do you not build the scornfull& reproachfull Church of Babell? |
A28520 | or shall the Pearle be cast before swine? |
A28520 | or wilt thou say: thou art not the Antichrist of Babell? |
A28520 | seeing he was omniscient,[ or knew all things] therefore why did he let the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evill grow? |
A28520 | that thou standest, and wilt ransom others out of Purgatory, and that for money, which thou afterwards spendest with Whores? |
A28520 | that though your eyes be shut, you perceive and know what you doe? |
A28520 | the proofe of it will cleerly follow? |
A28520 | then shee should be far inferiour to Adam? |
A28520 | thou desirest to be onely fine thy selfe alone: thy way onely h should be holy; Wherfore was the fratricide between Abel and Cain? |
A28520 | thou mightest have made what thou wouldest of it: who did hinder thee in it? |
A28520 | wee 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? |
A28520 | what need had there been for thee to have coyned silver and gold, if unity had continued? |
A28520 | when will it be that I shall see the virgin? |
A28520 | whence cometh thy seeing, that thou canst see by the light of the Sunne, and not otherwise? |
A28520 | where is your Apostolicall heart,[ consisting] in Love? |
A28520 | where shall wee seek for him? |
A28520 | which would fain learn to know him, fain labour in his works, and do his will? |
A28520 | who hath given thee vertue[ or sappe] thou wilde Tree? |
A28520 | wilt 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? |
A14095 | 13. Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? |
A14095 | 19. Who hath resisted his will? |
A14095 | 2. Who is this that darkeneth counsell by words without knowledge? |
A14095 | 2. in these words, Vnto infinite perfection what can accrew? |
A14095 | 22. it is said, that in Christ all shall be made alive; is this true thinke you of all and every one? |
A14095 | 22. may he not, or doth hee not in the same manner make their prosperity be their snares? |
A14095 | 22. wise to satisfie his lust, wise to compasse theire owne wicked endes; but shall he be accoumpted the wiser man for this? |
A14095 | 2? |
A14095 | 33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect, it is God that justifieth, who shall condemne us? |
A14095 | A most rid ● culous amplification? |
A14095 | A wonderfull assertion, and wherat the most barbarous people might be astonished in the consideration of the impiety, shall I say? |
A14095 | About which truth, namely that God decreeth some things to come to passe contingently, why doe you faulter in this fowle manner? |
A14095 | Adam in his innocency was free to doe evill was he not? |
A14095 | Againe consider, how is it called the counsell of Gods will? |
A14095 | Againe, doe we maintaine that God damnes any but impenitent sinners? |
A14095 | Againe, how is Gods power fettered by his will? |
A14095 | Againe, if sinne hath made them hatefull, is there not sinne enough in the world, in Iewes, Turkes, and Infidels to make them hatefull? |
A14095 | Againe, this very desire of doing others good, is it not a part of our conformity to the will of God? |
A14095 | Againe, though they come to passe contingently, yet why should you deny, or would not have us conceive that they fal out certainly? |
A14095 | Againe, to know what I meane to doe, what a senselesse thing it is to say that this is to imprison my knowledge? |
A14095 | Againe, what is the love of God? |
A14095 | Againe, what justice doe you devise in God towards his creature? |
A14095 | Againe, when you say, God loves all men as men; What is the meaning of this? |
A14095 | Agayne 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? |
A14095 | Agayne doe you thinke indeede, that it is by Gods permission only that men doe believe and repent? |
A14095 | Agayne what is it to fit varieties, other then to produce them? |
A14095 | Agayne, how can suspension of judgement be taken away, but by resolution this way or that way? |
A14095 | Agayne, how dothe God conteyne durations successively infinite? |
A14095 | Alas, doe your wits carry you? |
A14095 | Alas, what comfort in outward things had christianity in the first three hundred yeares? |
A14095 | Alas, what had the Sodomites beene the better for the blindenesse of their eyes, if God had not corrected the lusts of their hearts? |
A14095 | All flesh shall see the salvation of God; what sober man will apply this to all and every man? |
A14095 | And I nothing doubt but that it is just; but the question is wherin consisteth this justice? |
A14095 | And I pray consider, what blessing hath God tendred unto the Angels since their fall? |
A14095 | And I pray what are those other creatures? |
A14095 | And I pray what is it to apprehend Gods patience, or his leading of us to repentance by his goodnesse and patience? |
A14095 | And I pray what stile doe the learned give to that causa sine qua non? |
A14095 | And I pray what think you? |
A14095 | And I pray, who deserves to be accounted the author of my faith, the author of my repentance? |
A14095 | And are all sinnes of this kinde unpardonable? |
A14095 | And as God is sayde to have bene in seipso in himselfe, before the World was made, is he not so to be accoumpted still? |
A14095 | And as it was said of such as suddenly became Prophets, But who is their father? |
A14095 | And by warres is procured peace, but is it without intention of harme to any? |
A14095 | And call you this the objective goodnesse of a thing possible? |
A14095 | And can you tell who is ignorant of this? |
A14095 | And consider I pray doe you call this fatherly love and doe you accoumpt this the fervency of fatherly love? |
A14095 | And dare you affirme that God hath decreed to give the grace of faith and repentance unto all? |
A14095 | And dare you avouch the contrary? |
A14095 | And did Prince Palatine,& the lady Elizabeth, or their Asociates, bringe in this conceyte amongst them? |
A14095 | And did our conclusion proceede in any other sense? |
A14095 | And doe not you I pray concurre with them in this, even in this place? |
A14095 | And doe the Scholemen, you speake of, maynteyne it as a point irresoluble, whether an Angell may be defined within a point of imagination only? |
A14095 | And doe they not allso confesse, that the H. Ghost proceedes from bothe per modum voluntatis? |
A14095 | And doe you knowe any of vs to deny eyther of these? |
A14095 | And doe you thinke it is naturall for a man to know God? |
A14095 | And doth God give faith and repentance unto all? |
A14095 | And doth Gods justice binde him to be untrue? |
A14095 | And doth Gods love to man appeare more herein, then to the vilest creature that is? |
A14095 | And doth either Scripture or Eclesiasticall phrase allow you in this? |
A14095 | And doth it not become God from everlasting to intend to proceed in the day of judgement, as before spoken of? |
A14095 | And doth not Gods word manifestly teach, that repentance is the gift of God? |
A14095 | And 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? |
A14095 | And 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? |
A14095 | And give that as a reason why he must love justice better then any man? |
A14095 | And have heavy thinges any neede( thinke you) of supportance to keepe them from weighing upwards? |
A14095 | And how can his holinesse worke upon his will? |
A14095 | And how can that be called permanent, which bothe beginnes and endes in one and the same instant of time? |
A14095 | And how can that bee a good will to the poore, that practiseth to coosen others for the gratifying of the poore? |
A14095 | And how can they be sayd to be in God? |
A14095 | And how doe we exempt any from all possibility of receiving it? |
A14095 | And how doth our duration flow from Gods, but as an efficient cause, and that equivocall, that is wholly different? |
A14095 | And how many Magistrates doe punish even such sinnes, wherof themselves are guilty? |
A14095 | And how, I pray, is this necessity, but in respect of the decree of God? |
A14095 | And howe can that be sayde not to be, or not truly to be which as you say, participates of Gods beinge? |
A14095 | And 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? |
A14095 | And if Gods will be unresistible, as the Apostle plainly testifieth, shall not the operation whereby his will is accomplished, bee irresistible? |
A14095 | And if he be equity it selfe, is he not justice it selfe also? |
A14095 | And 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? |
A14095 | And if our existence be present, as you call it, how can it be suckt in? |
A14095 | And if our life be a true life, our motion a true motion, is not our beinge allso a true beinge? |
A14095 | And if repentance were profered, I pray upon what termes? |
A14095 | And if some doe sinne in blessing themselves, how much more doe others sinne in blessing idols? |
A14095 | And 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? |
A14095 | And if you are pleased to attribute sense unto God, why doe you not attribute unto him feeling, and smelling, and tastinge allso? |
A14095 | And if you take them as continuall, why should they not be stiled one motion? |
A14095 | And in haec Amph ● arae sub terram abd ● tae? |
A14095 | And in making Sodom and Gomorrah examples of his judgements, did he not intend our good? |
A14095 | And is it impossible thinke you for Gods will to decline this? |
A14095 | And is it not I pray alike impossible that the thing created should be fitted to the Creator? |
A14095 | And 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? |
A14095 | And is it not, I pray, as well in other Arguments as in this? |
A14095 | And is it probable then, it should be against Gods will that any should dye? |
A14095 | And is not prayer a speciall meanes for this? |
A14095 | And is not this in Gods power? |
A14095 | And is this a proper course, to runne out to the imagination of thinges impossible to represent God by? |
A14095 | And may you not as well say; that he loves at this day every creature, in as much as he preserveth them? |
A14095 | And of the tendring of this grace in Christ unto all that heare it preached, who ever doubted? |
A14095 | And shall not the raising of men from the dead be a worke of power? |
A14095 | And shall such a bug- beare deterre us from acknowledging God to be the author of repentance? |
A14095 | And shall we never linne to compare the nature of God to the vayne imaginations of such vayne thinges? |
A14095 | And so the question, to come to an issue, should be this, Whether God intends thus well to all, or no? |
A14095 | And 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? |
A14095 | And 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? |
A14095 | And surely, did wee not believe Gods serious protestations, why should wee regard his oath? |
A14095 | And that Gods continuance extends not only beyond, but everlastingly beyond that, which never shall have an end? |
A14095 | And the question wil come to this, whether there be any accident in God? |
A14095 | And therfore when you aske, whether upon the creatinge of a newe Heaven, it is not possible that God should be therin? |
A14095 | And thou Iames the Apostle, how hast thou deceived us in ll ●, that with God there is no variablenesse nor shadow of change? |
A14095 | And was Gods word afforded to all in the daies of the Old Testament? |
A14095 | And was it possible that errour, and so Foule an errour of judgement could be in an Angell before his fall? |
A14095 | And were it not a madde thing to affirme that the longer a man lives the more he loseth of his liberty? |
A14095 | And what Ecclesiasticall history( I pray) hathe affoorded you this oracle? |
A14095 | And what a field have you here to expatiate in if you list to aggravate the unnaturalnesse of any action in God? |
A14095 | And what courtly decorum is observed thinke you when the second comming of Christ is compared to the comming of a theife in the night? |
A14095 | And what devise you should move all the rest of the mutineers to concurre with him in so unreasonable an affectation? |
A14095 | And what expresse signification doe wee finde here, that Gods will is, that all without exception should come unto the trueth and be saved? |
A14095 | And what is this dangerous doctrine? |
A14095 | And 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? |
A14095 | And what necessitie, I pray, of any such fiction? |
A14095 | And what new duration is added unto man by his continuance? |
A14095 | And what one of our Church will maintaine, that any one obtaines actuall redemption by Christ without faith? |
A14095 | And what sober man would expect or desire that they should last longer then for eternity? |
A14095 | And what thinke you in this case? |
A14095 | And what thinke you, if some attributes be founde answerable to personall distinctions in the Trinity? |
A14095 | And what, I pray are those perfections whereof our generall duties are the imperfect representations? |
A14095 | And what, I pray, will you make gods of us? |
A14095 | And where I pray are these herbes of grace known to grow, is it any where but in Gods word? |
A14095 | And where I pray must he forbid it, and by what law? |
A14095 | And where he doth afford his word, is this all the mercy he shewes, namely, to perswade men to repent? |
A14095 | And where is any mention of Christ Iesus in all this? |
A14095 | And who I pray shall be the dispenser of that punishment, that in justice belongs to the Divills themselves? |
A14095 | And who doubts but the faith of Peter, and his repentance, the faith of Paul and his repentance, were contingents? |
A14095 | And who ever censured this prayer of Moses for sinne? |
A14095 | And why doe you call this world a vale of misery? |
A14095 | And why may not Angells as well wayt all opportunities to doe us good, according to the will of theyr and our Heavenly father? |
A14095 | And why should God regard that which is not performed in obedience to his will? |
A14095 | And why should any mutability be a resemblance of Gods freedome, who is immutabile throughout? |
A14095 | And why should not these rules of equity be stamped on the will, as well as on sensuall appetites? |
A14095 | And why should this argue any distraction in God, more then in a Iudge that absolveth some, and condemneth others? |
A14095 | And why shoulde you accoumpt it a condition of being, to be in nothing? |
A14095 | And why shoulde you put your selfe to such paynes of phrasifyinge, in proovinge that nothing can not bring foorth any ranke of being? |
A14095 | And why so? |
A14095 | And why so? |
A14095 | And will it follow, that because wee must imitate Gods actions in a speciall case, therefore we must imitate his dealings generally? |
A14095 | And will you challenge God of unnaturalnesse for this? |
A14095 | And will you put all these into one cluster, or posie rather, consisting partly of garden flowers, partly of stinking flowers of the field? |
A14095 | And with what congruity I pray you may rules of equity be said to bee stamped upon faculties, that are not intellectuall? |
A14095 | And yet I pray consider, what father would torment his children with everlasting fire, though never so unnaturall towards him? |
A14095 | And yet how many are so far from having their hearts filled with food and gladnesse, that sometimes they perish for want of bread? |
A14095 | And yet when you breake forth in avouching manifest contradiction, would you have your reader conceave your selfe to be in a sober discourse waking? |
A14095 | And you doe in vaine seeme to strive against this; For can you deny this argument? |
A14095 | Are mens thoughts and actions this yeare, the rewardes and punishments of the same mens actions the other yeare? |
A14095 | Are not Devills accursed? |
A14095 | Are not all humane acts of a contingent nature, and consequently have a contingencie in them? |
A14095 | Are these the rules that God himselfe doth so strictly observe? |
A14095 | Are they damned? |
A14095 | As for example, before the World was made it was possible that the World should be made, was this by vertue of Gods decree? |
A14095 | As for example, this minute of an houre is present but how? |
A14095 | As 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? |
A14095 | As for the currrent of glory, how hath any man the more, for that others are wholly deprived of it? |
A14095 | As for the elect Angels, doe you thinke they doe already possesse all that may belong unto them, either in respect of knowledge or glory? |
A14095 | As touching the other, doth not Callimachus acknowledge as much, when he saith, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A14095 | At length you come to the point, and demand, Whether God doth intend thus well to all? |
A14095 | At the day of judgement shall not our Saviour pronounce that sentence on thousands, Go ye cursed into everlasting fire? |
A14095 | Be God never so louely, yet if a man know him not, how can hee love him? |
A14095 | Bee 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? |
A14095 | Both are acts of command: now I pray consider, doth Gods power command? |
A14095 | But I deny not but that God made the world out of love; but out of love to whome? |
A14095 | But I pray answer me, Doth he unfainedly love the Devils? |
A14095 | But I pray consider, doth the worke of grace extend no further then to planting and watering? |
A14095 | But I pray consider, is he not justice it selfe also as well as loving kindnesse? |
A14095 | But I pray consider, is it possible that God should doe any thing against his will? |
A14095 | But I pray consider, to exempt some from possibility of repenting upon supposition; is this to exempt from all possibility without supposition? |
A14095 | But 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? |
A14095 | But I pray consider, what need was there of repentance before Adams fall? |
A14095 | But I pray consider, what sect is there in the world that might not use the like? |
A14095 | But I pray in what sense of truthe, or truthe of sense, can you averre that every body is with every place? |
A14095 | But I pray what thinke you of infants perishing in originall sin? |
A14095 | But I pray you consider, are the thoughts and actions of men this yeare the proportioned end of somethinge that you did the last yeare? |
A14095 | But I pray, what comfort is this you speake of, is it comfort in things spirituall, or comfort in Gods blessings temporall? |
A14095 | But 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? |
A14095 | But be it, that you will bee as good as your word, what is that which you undertake to demonstrate? |
A14095 | But by the way, what doe you meane to apply S. Austins restraint to this universall in this place? |
A14095 | But 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? |
A14095 | But consider I pray you; Can God produce a greater heate, then that which is infinite? |
A14095 | But consider I pray, how is pluralitie a fitt attribute for indivisible unitie? |
A14095 | But doe you remember what censure Aristotle passed vpon Empedocles, for this figurative& obscure manner of expressions in Philosophicall discourse? |
A14095 | But doth God continually inspire this? |
A14095 | But doth he make mans will to love him without constraint? |
A14095 | But here some may say how then can any evill be committed? |
A14095 | But how I pray do ● these when they are refused by some, the more overflow to others? |
A14095 | But how I pray you could such a thing be affected, without errour of judgement? |
A14095 | But how doe you prove that we have more fit termes to expresse Gods other attributes then this? |
A14095 | But how is God present? |
A14095 | But how or when shall Gods will of Iudas his salvation be accomplished? |
A14095 | But 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? |
A14095 | But how will you prove this? |
A14095 | But howe will you accommodate the members of this distinction to the former proposition? |
A14095 | But if I give over unto my passions my honesty, to be defiled by them, alas what have we more or greater to lose? |
A14095 | But is God bound to forgive his enemies, and that alwaies, as we are? |
A14095 | But is this representation only of natures extant as you speake? |
A14095 | But of what Papists? |
A14095 | But ordinarily in the course of Gods providence; who are more vexed by the Divill, the godly or the wicked rather? |
A14095 | But some may say, If Gods essence be not here, where is it then? |
A14095 | But suppose it had beene preached, and not received nor believed by the hearers, I pray what then? |
A14095 | But suppose it would prove so, shall we from the temporall comforts wee may enjoy, conclude, that therefore our religion is the true religion? |
A14095 | But take it at the best; why should you call this, the excellency of knowledge? |
A14095 | But that this is a meere fiction of yours, ut recto stet fabula talo, and that hee did truly draw them to repentance; but how? |
A14095 | But then I pray consider, did not God from everlasting know whether they would repent or no? |
A14095 | But 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? |
A14095 | But then, I pray, what is this that shall resemble the divine knowledge? |
A14095 | But this opinion you dislike, and upon what reason? |
A14095 | But to come nearer; what thinke you of the Persons in the Trinitie? |
A14095 | But 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? |
A14095 | But what Israel? |
A14095 | But what ground have you for that? |
A14095 | But what meane you so directly to contradict the word of God, as you doe if this be your opinion? |
A14095 | But 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? |
A14095 | But what thinke you? |
A14095 | But when doth he move us thus? |
A14095 | But when you say that his retribution of rewards and punishments is his measure; I pray of what? |
A14095 | But 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? |
A14095 | But where, I pray, doe you finde any such protestation on Gods part? |
A14095 | But who shall privilege God? |
A14095 | But will you inferre herehence, therfore God hath coexistence with things future? |
A14095 | But will you say that all and every one have redemption in Christ through his bloud? |
A14095 | But with what colour can you inferre, that because it is possible to be, therefore God most certainly knowes that it shall be? |
A14095 | But yet Austin was bold to say, Quantamlibet praebuerit patientiam nisi Deus dederit, quis aget poenitentiam? |
A14095 | But 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? |
A14095 | But, doth Mr. Hooper justifie this? |
A14095 | Call you this a correspondent consequent destined by God? |
A14095 | Call you this the attractions of his infinite love? |
A14095 | Can it be any thing else then the taking of the opportunity offered, and to repent indeed? |
A14095 | Can warres bee managed without harme? |
A14095 | Can you devise any fruite of this but the preservation of them in being? |
A14095 | Christs yoake is easie and his burthen light to the regenerate: but is it so unto naturall men? |
A14095 | Consider yet farther what I pray you, was the end of Iudas, which God did forecast in his creation? |
A14095 | Could you be ignorant of this passage? |
A14095 | Did God decree it to be possible? |
A14095 | Did 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? |
A14095 | Did ever any Christian deny this? |
A14095 | Did not David in the matter of Vriah and Bathsheba? |
A14095 | Did not Manasses in his idolatrous fury, sealing it with bloud? |
A14095 | Did not Salomon in his idolatry? |
A14095 | Did that Kingdome consist of more Protestants then Papists? |
A14095 | Did the conscience of so foule a conclusion as was towards, make you blush to put it in writing? |
A14095 | Did the peoples comforts, or the comforts of this kingdome encrease any whit hereupon? |
A14095 | Doe not all confesse that God is no where without himselfe as conteyned, but only as conteyninge? |
A14095 | Doe not we beleeve that our happinesse in the Kingdome of Heaven shall consist in the vision of God? |
A14095 | Doe weake persons girde themselfes with strength; or is Gods girdinge of himselfe with strength, like to our girding of our clothes aboute us? |
A14095 | Doe you expect that all the Bishops in England should bee of his judgement in this? |
A14095 | Doe 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? |
A14095 | Doe you thinke there was not one sicke person left in all Galile and Syria that was not brought unto him? |
A14095 | Doth God pardon any sinnes without repentance? |
A14095 | Doth he not call some at the first, some not till the last houre of the day? |
A14095 | Doth not Aristotle acknowledge felicity to be from God; and did this make them as happy as they might be? |
A14095 | Doth not the Apostle tell us, The affections of the flesh are not subject to the law of God, nor can be? |
A14095 | Doth the heat of fire worke upon the fire? |
A14095 | Doth the knowledge of thinges usefull differ from knowledge? |
A14095 | Ephraim? |
A14095 | Every man seeth how the brightnes of the Sunne doth pierce the ayre, doth every man acknowledge God to incompasse time by his eternitie? |
A14095 | Every wise decree presupposeth wisedome, and wisedome includeth knowledge, and what of this? |
A14095 | Ex tribus principiis Homo generatur? |
A14095 | Fiftly when, I pray, did this motion beginne? |
A14095 | First no laws of the World( the execution whereof are reputed just) doe or can proceede after any such proportion? |
A14095 | First you demaund whether this locall distance be created or no ● ▪ whether it be something or nothing? |
A14095 | First, 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? |
A14095 | First, you call him, A learned Bishop, and blessed Martyr; Et quis Herculem vituperat? |
A14095 | For I demand, Hath God prevented your wilfull contempt of his goodnesse, yea or not? |
A14095 | For I pray, what proportion doe you find in these? |
A14095 | For are not the Morall vertues and recta ratio knitt together indissolubly? |
A14095 | For are not these your wordes in interpreting our conclusion, All thinges are necessary in respect of Gods decree? |
A14095 | For can not God preserve the Heaven and Earthe for ever if it please him? |
A14095 | For consider I pray, will you say that God did by vertue of his immensitie coexist with all places before the world was? |
A14095 | For consider I pray, would you have your reader swallow sucha goageon as this, that God is at this time free to decree this? |
A14095 | For consider, did you never abandon the waies of peace, or wilfully neglect saving health, lovingly tendred unto you? |
A14095 | For consider, is it a sober speech to say that God hath decreed that things may come to passe? |
A14095 | For could no other punishment serve the turne but death? |
A14095 | For dare any sober divine say, that Gods actuall existence hathe boundes, and that these boundes may be more or lesse enlarged? |
A14095 | For did not God make them good, yea truly and inherently good? |
A14095 | For doe you thinke it a sober course for me to desire and pray for the salvation of I know not whom? |
A14095 | For exhortation may thus farre bee performed by a reprobate: for such plead at the day of judgement, Have we not prophesied in thy name? |
A14095 | For first you suppose the beginning of succession may be taken backwards or forwards; but how is this possible? |
A14095 | For first, what if God had not sworne it, but onely said it, had there been the lesse truth in it for this? |
A14095 | For how could he, before any thing was? |
A14095 | For how dothe God at this time coexist with them, which at this time have no existence at all? |
A14095 | For how improbable were it, that God by his will should choose to be imperfect rather then perfect? |
A14095 | For how is God sayde to be in any thinge? |
A14095 | For how is it possible that a man can doe at once all the evill that he can doe? |
A14095 | For how should an instantaneous or momentany motion in one body, produce a temporall motion in another body? |
A14095 | For how should the continuation of existence be the losing of it? |
A14095 | For if God had suffered them longer, and left them destitute of his grace, had they not profited in pejus, growing worse and worse? |

A14095 | How then doe you say, that the boundes of Gods coexistence with his creatures are or can be enlarged? |
A14095 | I answer, God is still and ever shall be free, but in respect of what? |

A14095 | Is not this an excellent observation, thinck you? |
A14095 | Is not this good divinity, and very comfortable divinity? |
A14095 | Is not this issue of your discourse very grave and Theologicall? |
A14095 | Is the being of a body of a man, of a beast in God formally? |
A14095 | Is 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? |
A14095 | Is there any lovelinesse in them in the state of their corruption, and not rather unlovelinesse throughout? |
A14095 | Is this it you are to prove, that God wils the salvation of all Christians? |

A14095 | Is time indifferent to beginne backwards or forwards? |
A14095 | Israel might have truely said, Was there ever any love like unto this love wherewith the Lord embraced mee? |
A14095 | It is a very strange speech; for was not the man Pharaoh the object of Gods decree? |
A14095 | It is manifestly spoken of the house of Israel, concerning whom the Lord asketh this question, Why will yee die yee house of Israel? |
A14095 | It 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? |
A14095 | It is true, Every generation hath his cause: therfore all generations have causes; But what causes? |
A14095 | It is true, God is, where any thing is, but howe? |
A14095 | Lastly, doe you knowe any that maynteyne any such Tenet( eyther in opposition to Arminius, or otherwise) which here you obtrude upon your opposites? |
A14095 | Looke we upon the decrees of men the wisest of men, were they ever knowne to decree that a thing may be done? |
A14095 | May I not justly aske, and that with admiration, Quid dignum tanto tulit hic promissor hiatu? |
A14095 | May you not as well say, that the essence of God made the Heavens? |
A14095 | Myne heart is turned within me,& c. Gods anger is seene and felt by the effects of it, but to whom? |
A14095 | Nam si aliquid ab ipso infinito intellectu non posset intelligi, à quo alio posset? |
A14095 | Nay how is he not bound to pardon all sinne, of all men, if so be Christ hath made satisfaction for the sinnes of all? |
A14095 | Nay why shoulde any man expect a reason why different kindes of thinges have different qualities? |
A14095 | Nay, hath he not more knowledg of evil then of good, at least as touching the compassing of it? |
A14095 | Nay, how will you make it good in man? |
A14095 | Nay, is it not found to be practised in the course of his providence? |
A14095 | Nay, what thinke you? |
A14095 | Nay, when Gods children are converted, doe they not too often abandon the waies of peace, and wilfully neglect saving health? |
A14095 | Not whether all these thinges are in God, but whether all these are drawne to an unitie in God, without all pluralitie? |
A14095 | Now I demand whether this free abstinence from some evills, be of grace or no? |
A14095 | Now I pray what is this love you speake of, and what manner of attraction is it, and wherin doth it consist? |
A14095 | Now I pray, as bad as the Sodomites were, yet were they not lesse evill then they might be? |
A14095 | Now 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? |
A14095 | Now consider ingenuously, did Christ die to this end, that the grace of faith and repentance should bee bestowed absolutely or conditionally? |
A14095 | Now consider wee the damnation of wicked men not yet departed this life; hath God decreed it, or no? |
A14095 | Now consider, are not faith and repentance the gifts of God? |
A14095 | Now hath God any parts to be thus contracted and united, that so his vigour might be greater? |
A14095 | Now if God inspire us with one part of conformity to Gods will, why not also with another? |
A14095 | Now if it hathe succession, how is it possible, but that it should be divisible into parts succeeding one another? |
A14095 | Now if they be all one why doe you not propose them after one manner? |
A14095 | Now in what congruitie can the will of any be said to wrest it selfe? |
A14095 | Now is this common unto all, as you make Gods fatherhood common unto all? |
A14095 | Now is this strange in a silly man to know what hee doth, or what he can doe? |
A14095 | Now saythe he I demaunde, in what subject this possibilitie was? |
A14095 | Now 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? |
A14095 | Now what Wise man will acknowledge this discourse to be evident? |
A14095 | Now what mixture of necessity with contingency did God affect in this? |
A14095 | Now what possibility doe you meane? |
A14095 | Now what, I pray you, is this effect which you call love? |
A14095 | Now where was ever such a disposition to be found? |
A14095 | Now will it not followe herehence, that it is absolutely necessary, that God should not exist at all, and that by reason of his infinity? |
A14095 | Now, I pray you, of those that take this course who ever sayd that the events decreed by God were of absolute necessitie? |
A14095 | Now, are these the perfections, wherein God, as you say, is holy and just? |
A14095 | Nowe howe is it possible, that that which is more p ● rfect then all others, shoulde not have beinge? |
A14095 | O, 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? |
A14095 | Of 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? |
A14095 | Old Prophet Ma ● achy dost thou heare this, that hast instructed us this to be the voice of God, I the Lord am not changed? |
A14095 | Or amongst the Protestants, was the number of Calvinists more, then of Lutherans? |
A14095 | Or are the reprobates at any time brought by God unto repentance? |
A14095 | Or are they correspondent consequents to our antecedent actions the last yeare? |
A14095 | Or are you to seeke in the solution of a fallacy? |
A14095 | Or because God causeth the children to be put to death sometime for the sinne of the father, shall we do so too? |
A14095 | Or doe you meane this of the possibility of Absolons sinning as he did? |
A14095 | Or how can that motion be coumpted indivisible, which hathe parts successively infinite as your selfe professe in the sentence immediately before? |
A14095 | Or if God should for a while suspend his decrees, and not make them with the first, how is it possible they could be everlasting? |
A14095 | Or if it bee not lawfull for God to break his oath, dare you say it is lawfull for him to breake his word? |
A14095 | Or were you converted at the first, or second, or at the third sermon that you heard? |
A14095 | Or why that which is vigourous in heate, hathe not the propertie of that which is vigorous in colde, or in any other disparate qualitie? |
A14095 | Philosophers had a love of vertue, but can you shew they had any love of God? |
A14095 | Quid enim mundanis regibus cum praesepibus? |
A14095 | Quis porro tam impie desipiat ut dicat Deum malas hominum voluntates quas voluerit, quando voluerit, ubi voluerit, in bonum non posse convertere? |
A14095 | Remember I pray, God is in the World and in every part of it but how? |
A14095 | Secondly, what if the limits be not seene, what I say is that to the purpose? |
A14095 | Secondly, what meane you by the change of this freedome of the creature? |
A14095 | Secondly, what meane you to qualifie your assertion, by saying In most humane acts: as if you durst not avouch it of all? |
A14095 | Secondly, where were your logicall wits, when you said this was an universall negative, I will not the death of a sinner? |
A14095 | Secondly, you will have us imagine God to be capable of momentany motion, or revolution throughout the World? |
A14095 | Section to maintayne that it is a point of high perfection for God, to reserve his libertie, and what libertie is this but of decreeing? |
A14095 | Seeing the power of every creature is to be ordered by his will without fettering of it? |
A14095 | Shall we say God did inevitably decree the obliquity of Iewish blasphemy? |
A14095 | Should not so poena be prior culpa? |
A14095 | So likewise I desire to know what end God did forecast of Paul the Apostle in his creation? |
A14095 | So 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? |
A14095 | So then the attractions of Gods infinite love are the causa sine qua non, but what is the cause, qua posita ponitur effectus? |
A14095 | Some will say, then how could he sinne? |
A14095 | Spectatum admissi risum teneatis amici? |
A14095 | Suppose it were so, would it herehence follow, that these words were not spoken by him as man? |
A14095 | Suppose we doe know him to be most wise, most powerfull: yet if he be our enemie, how should this move us to love him, or put our trust in him? |
A14095 | T is true, God loves a cheerefull giver, but who makes this cheerefulnesse but God? |
A14095 | The Angells themselves being to continue for ever, shall ever produce newe thoughts newe actions; but dothe this argue any infinity in them? |
A14095 | The Father is the Father, and neyther is he the Sonne, nor the Holy Ghost; will you herehence conclude that he is not infinite? |
A14095 | The Holy Ghost, is the Holy Ghost, but neyther the Father nor the Sonne, will you hence inferre that he hathe limits, and is not infinite? |
A14095 | The Physitian, what d ● vine wisedome doth he finde in the contexture of the body of man? |
A14095 | The Sonne is the Sonne, but he is neyther the Father nor the Holy Ghost; will you therfore say, he is not infinite? |
A14095 | The first is, How a Center should be conceaved to be every where? |
A14095 | The first is, Shall we then graunt that Gods knowledge is antecedent, and his foreknowledge consequent to his decrees? |
A14095 | The founteyne of life is it, that which brings natures possible into act of being? |
A14095 | The orbes of the heavens have theyr revolutions, but doe they therby moove throughout the World? |
A14095 | The science of Astronomy, how hath it displayed unto the world the wisedome of God in the various motions of the heavens? |
A14095 | The scope you ayme at, is to prove that in Gods eternall being there is no succession; Et quis Herculem vituperat? |
A14095 | The second How the indivisibility of Gods praesence should be compared to a Center? |
A14095 | Then when you say wrath and severity is the effect of Gods consequent will, what doe you meane by wrath? |
A14095 | Therfore all outward imployments are for the good of his creature, but how? |
A14095 | They doe exist in place, that is the measure of corporall extension; but doth God exist in place, who hathe no extension? |
A14095 | Thirdly, what thinke you of the World, hathe it limits or no? |
A14095 | This is sober discourse, is it not? |
A14095 | Though God affords never so much patience, yet who shall repent except God gives repentance? |
A14095 | Though God affords never so much patience, yet who shall repent except he apprehends it? |
A14095 | To them that are sanctified, he is you say felicity and salvation; but what is he to them that are not sanctified? |
A14095 | VVill you take boldnesse to apply this presence of God to the very divills and reprobates? |
A14095 | Vt jugulent homines surgunt de nocte latrones, Vt teipsum serves non expergisceris? |
A14095 | Was it not so in Saul? |
A14095 | Was not Galen hereupon driven to acknowledge a divine providence? |
A14095 | Was that think you a fit place to fit her doctrine for the preventing of schismes and distractions in opinion? |
A14095 | We admit God to be bounty it selfe, love it selfe, mercy and compassion it selfe, but to whom say you? |
A14095 | We knowe the number of the Starres, what therfore, are we present with them? |
A14095 | Were you never out of the state of grace? |
A14095 | What I pray is more truly good then the setting forth of Gods glory eyther in his patience, and long suffering, or in ought else whatsoever? |
A14095 | What I pray is this more then to say, He hath redeemed us and all men? |
A14095 | What I pray, according to our understandings is the subject of Gods holinesse? |
A14095 | What I pray? |
A14095 | What a ridiculous conceyte in this? |
A14095 | What a strong piece of worke was Samson? |
A14095 | What a wise piece of worke was Salomon? |
A14095 | What creature more profitable then the Sunne, yet I pray consider, doth not a Mouse, or an Emmet, or a Fly, in entitative perfection go beyond it? |
A14095 | What did the heathens understand by theire Nemesis? |
A14095 | What do ● you denote by this love of God? |
A14095 | What doe you meane by the degrees or acts of life, an infinitie whereof you place in God? |
A14095 | What have you here said of Gods love to man, that may not as well be said of his love to the very Angels of darknesse? |
A14095 | What hinders then, but that they may be like him in love and goodnesse if they will, and that they may will it? |
A14095 | What incongruities and most unscholasticall solecismes of discourse are these? |
A14095 | What is a wilde manner of discourse, if this be not? |
A14095 | What meane you by the current of life? |
A14095 | What meant you to complicate so many questions into one? |
A14095 | What more severe punishment then damnation? |
A14095 | What of this? |
