A26847 | Many indeed say, concerning Afflictions, as those did concerning Nazareth, Can any Good come out of Nazareth? |
A26847 | Many there be, that never say, as Rebecca did, Why am I thus? |
A26847 | Now can you say, This Diet- drink of Affliction hath cured you of this Disease? |
A26847 | Now consider, What is the work of the Plough? |
A26847 | Now what is the reason, that the Physick of Affliction doth some persons no good? |
A26847 | Now where is the difference? |
A26847 | Now, What is their Sin all this while? |
A26847 | Now, how came David, to have his Judgment rectified, concerning these Dispensations of God? |
A26847 | Now, how is it with such men as goe to War? |
A26847 | Now, how shall we know it was good for the Land that it was Plowed? |
A26847 | Now, what is Godliness? |
A26847 | Now, what is the Fire and Furnace to do? |
A26847 | Now, what was the cause of all this? |
A26847 | Of your own Mortality? |
A26847 | Or in an Afflicted condition? |
A26847 | Plutarch, telleth us this Story of a Roman, He put away his Wife; his Friends thereupon asked him, VVhat fault he found with her? |
A26847 | Question, Whether it be lawful to pray for the things of this life? |
A26847 | Riches,& c? |
A26847 | Seeing there are many things that increase Vanity, what is Man the better? |
A26847 | Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better? |
A26847 | Shall mortal man be just with God? |
A26847 | Shall not the Judg of all the Earth do Right? |
A26847 | Should we expect that Grace should have no Conflict, no Conquest before the Triumph; but be Crown''d, before we have shewed what it can do? |
A26847 | So ask a man, whether he be fit and able to bear a prosperous condition? |
A26847 | So the Question is, Whether this Truth, do not deny and destroy all Care of Providence? |
A26847 | So the things to be Known, are these: 1. Who is the Framer of our Conditions; Who it is Ordains and Appoints them, and puts us into them? |
A26847 | So then, Would a man know, whether prosperity be good for him; I would ask him this, What use he doth make of the things of a prosperous condition? |
A26847 | So then, in a prosperous condition, we should put this Question to our selves, What use we make of the things of the condition? |
A26847 | So we may say, Is God Unrighteous, that sendeth Affliction? |
A26847 | So, Can any good come out of Afflictions? |
A26847 | So, How can those things, that increase cares and troubles, make Man the better? |
A26847 | So, in every condition we should put this Question to our selves; What is it that the Lord requires me do, as the work of my condition? |
A26847 | So, on the contrary; Would you know, Whether an Afflicted condition be Evil for a Man? |
A26847 | Some may Ask, What is a convenient Estate? |
A26847 | Some may ask, But what are those things that are good without doubt, without controversy, for a man in this life? |
A26847 | Some may ask, What is it that speaks our giving the things of another life, the Preheminence? |
A26847 | Some there are that possess much in this life, but never put this question, Do I enjoy God, with the things that I receive from him? |
A26847 | The Apostle James, puts this Question, Can a Fountain send forth sweet water and bitter? |
A26847 | The Scripture discovereth this to us, What are the true Correctives of a Condition? |
A26847 | The great Question you are to put to your selves, is, Whether you are Spiritual gainers or losers by your condition? |
A26847 | The great Question, we are to put to our selves, is this, VVhether Affliction, hath opened a way for Instruction to come to our Hearts? |
A26847 | The question we are to put to our selves in an Afflicted Condition, is, What Instruction the Affliction hath Sealed to us? |
A26847 | The second thing to be Enquired after, is, Of what Men, this is to be understood? |
A26847 | There be many that say,( saith David) Who will shew us any good? |
A26847 | There is a known Story, of the answer that a Shepheard returned to some Travailers, who asked him, What weather they should have? |
A26847 | There were Talents delivered, and the Master called his servants to an account, how they had used, and improved those Talents? |
A26847 | Thereupon, Solomon makes this great Enquiry, Wherein Man''s chiefest Good and Happinesse consists? |
A26847 | This evil is of the Lord, why should I wait any longer? |
A26847 | Thou, o Rich man, knowest not but that thy riches may be for thy hurt, Why shouldst thou then despise the poor? |
A26847 | Though we are not able to tell you concerning outward things, What are good for a man in this life? |
A26847 | Thus a man should reason with himself; Why should I be proud of those things which have proved evill to some, and I know not but they may be so to me? |
A26847 | Thus we have finished the First thing, by which a man is to make a judgment of an Afflicted Condition; whether it be good for him in this life or not? |
A26847 | Thus, in General, You see what we Answer to the Question, Whether Evils of Affliction may be Prayed against? |
A26847 | To how many have they become a Trap, and Snare, and occasions of Sin? |
A26847 | Upon this, Pharoah thought, that he depended not upon God, for the fruitfulness of his Country; and presumes to say, Is not the River mine? |
A26847 | VVe are apt to affect the higher conditions, but we should look to this, Whether the place we sit in, be the place of God''s choosing? |
A26847 | VVe should consider, VVhether we do not take the Honour to our selves, of placing our selves in conditions? |
A26847 | VVhat do we deserve? |
A26847 | VVhether we did not place our selves? |
A26847 | VVho is it, that can look upon himself as such, and yet stand upon it, to have what he will? |
A26847 | WE now come to answer another Question, that some may Ask, concerning, What is convenient? |
A26847 | Was not my Soul grieved for the Poor? |
A26847 | We are to see, What good our Blood- letting hath done us, Whether it hath taken down our high Colour, and our high Looks? |
A26847 | We are to see, Whether it hath taken away any of our corrupt Blood? |
A26847 | We should see, Whether Afflictions do melt our hearts? |
A26847 | What Glory we have brought to God? |
A26847 | What Good we have done to others? |
A26847 | What Instructions hath Affliction Sealed concerning Sin? |

A26847 | What is the meaning of that? |
A26847 | What is your carriage, and behaviour in the condition? |
A26847 | What may allay the Sweetness, and Pleasantness of Prosperity, that they be not too much lifted up? |
A26847 | What those things are? |
A26847 | What was the cause of all this? |
A26847 | What we have been? |
A26847 | What we have done? |
A26847 | What you do in your condition? |
A26847 | What you make of your condition? |

A26847 | When you went into the Furnace you went in dross, but do you come forth as Gold? |
A26847 | Where is the man that can come forth and say, That his Riches and Honours, did ever change his heart or reform his life? |
A26847 | Wherein stands the Adorning of a man''s Condition? |
A26847 | Whether God''s dealings with us, please us; and our carriage, in our condition, please Him? |

A53048 | Is there no Peace in Nature to be found? |
A53048 | Is this the only reason, said she? |
A53048 | Is this your Hand, says he? |

A53048 | O Father, said Travelia, Must you go, and leave me here behind? |

A53048 | and, What you are? |
A53048 | and, Whether they were from all Eternity? |
A53048 | for, Can there be any thing vainer, than for Age to rant and swagger, brag and boast, or to be vain- glorious? |
A53048 | or else made the Thest Upon her self, since she hath nothing left Of what is handsom? |
A53048 | or is she fled? |
A53048 | or to disturb my solitary hours, which is the best and happiest time of Life, wherein Man only doth enjoy himself? |

A53048 | salutes me? |
A53048 | the Countreys or Kingdoms? |
A53048 | what praise? |
A53048 | whither do you run? |
A42781 | & c. Can such an Heart as thine be the Temple of the Holy Ghost? |
A42781 | ''T is now time to speak to the other Question, which is, Whether and how far Satan knows things to come? |
A42781 | ( When they propound that Question, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?) |
A42781 | ( say they) can he judge through the dark clouds? |
A42781 | ( where the account of that tempting is given)''t is said, because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us or not? |
A42781 | 10. describes him by these neglects of Duty, Will he delight himself in the Almighty? |
A42781 | 41. while some were convinced and said, This is the Christ, others said, shall Christ come out of Galilee? |
A42781 | 9. Who can know it? |
A42781 | A Proud Heart will readily say, our Tongue is our own, or who is the Lord? |
A42781 | A tedious task? |
A42781 | Am I a Sea, or a Whale, that thou settest a Watch over me? |
A42781 | Among the Papists what less can be expected, when the same principle is entertained among them? |
A42781 | And can you think to break away from me so easily? |
A42781 | And then he Queries, Art thou such an one? |
A42781 | And then to what purpose( say they) is Prayer, or any endeavours? |
A42781 | Are not these unreasonable injunctions, Pray continually, Pray without ceasing; Preach in season and out of season? |
A42781 | Art thou not grown stupid, and senseless of all the hazards that are before thee? |
A42781 | Art thou not ready to tax him for dealing thus with thee? |
A42781 | Art thou that Prophet, and that Man ordained to Judg the World? |
A42781 | As David said to the Woman of Tekoah, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? |
A42781 | At what a loss is an unskilful Travellour, where so many wayes meet? |
A42781 | Besides( saith he) thou knowest the secret thoughts that thy Heart is privy to, do they not boyl up in thy Breast against God? |
A42781 | Besides, who can tell how much of God''s restraining grace may ly in this, of God''s limiting and straitning Satan''s Commission? |
A42781 | But Enquiry may be made, When do men run( uncalled and) unwarrantably upon Temptation? |
A42781 | But I have done so, and yet the Temptation is the same, and still continues? |
A42781 | But O how sadly is all this hindered by the disquiet of the Heart? |
A42781 | But how few are there that do thus know? |
A42781 | But how happy would it be for Men, if such failures of expectation might better inform them? |
A42781 | But how is it consistent with Truth that the Temptation should continue, when James tells us, that Satan will fly upon Resistance? |
A42781 | But it will be said, Satan pretends to this Rule, and it is Scripture that is urged by him? |
A42781 | But some( possibly) may say, Is it our Duty to sit still in such a case? |
A42781 | But the great Question is, What is this fear that is forbidden, and the Courage which is enjoined? |
A42781 | But the great difficulty is, how it may be known when Temptations are from Satan, and when from our selves? |
A42781 | But what occasioned all this? |
A42781 | But when we come to an impartial consideration of our manifold weaknesses and insufficiences in reference to these Services, what shall we say? |
A42781 | But who then inflames and stirs up the Heart to this Wickedness? |
A42781 | But you will say, Must all Men be confident of Adoption? |
A42781 | But( it may be further urged) must we when all Means fail, positively Trust in God for those very things which we might expect in an ordinary way? |
A42781 | But( may some say) If I judge such a motion to be a thing lawful, which doth proceed from Satan, What am I to do? |
A42781 | By this means he may widen the distance betwixt God and us, keep our Wounds open, make us a reproach to Religion: And what not? |
A42781 | Can Christ lodg in an Heart so full of horrid Blasphemies against him? |
A42781 | Can God prepare a Table in the Wilderness? |
A42781 | Can the Gifts of Enemies pass for Courtesies and Favours with any, but such as are bewitched into a blockish madness? |
A42781 | Can we reckon how often Satan hath been at this work? |
A42781 | Canst thou deny this? |
A42781 | David resolved, and strenuously endeavoured, to possess his Soul in Serenity and Patience,( for what could be more, than solemn engagement? |
A42781 | Did I not compel Peter to deny his Lord, notwithstanding his solemn profession to the contrary? |
A42781 | Did I not force those that were stronger than you? |
A42781 | Did I not make David number the People? |
A42781 | Did I not overcome him in the matter of Uriah? |
A42781 | Did the Heathen erect Images and Pillars, or keep the Ashes and Shrines of their Daemons? |
A42781 | Did the Heathen expect more particular aids from some of these Daemons in several cases than from others? |
A42781 | Doth he not carry a Design in his Mind for Months and Years against us? |
A42781 | Doth he not come again and again, with often and impudently repeated Importunities? |
A42781 | Eightly, Satan urged some of them in a during provoking way; If thou be the Son of God? |
A42781 | Every Christian should say, shall such an one as I fly? |
A42781 | First, from an Ignorance of the thing it self: how easily may they be Imposed upon, who know not the nature, or the usual Issues of things? |
A42781 | First; Whether Satan knows our Thoughts? |
A42781 | For can it be imagined in good earnest that Satan intends us a real good? |
A42781 | For who can alter his Decree? |
A42781 | For who can easily bear the noise of Satan while he shouts continually into their Ears odious Calumnies, and Blasphemous Indignities against God? |
A42781 | For why should God look upon thee more than another? |
A42781 | God himself owns it as a natural impossibility, Can the Ethiopian change his skin? |
A42781 | God''s question concerning Job, Hast thou considered my Servant Job? |
A42781 | Had the Heathen their Feasts, their Statas ferias to their Daemons? |
A42781 | Had the Heathens their dead Hero''s for Agents''twixt the supream Gods and Men? |
A42781 | Had they any more Holiness than they needed? |
A42781 | Had they their Februalia& Proserpinilia with Torches and Lights? |
A42781 | Hath the Lord forgotten to be Gracious? |
A42781 | Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
A42781 | Have they been able to rescue themselves? |
A42781 | Have those that have gone before you been able to deliver themselves from me? |
A42781 | He clave the Rock, but can he provide Flesh? |
A42781 | He complains as one utterly forsaken, Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A42781 | He is a jealous God, and will by no means acquit the guilty; Canst thou then with any shew of reason, conclude thy self to be his Child? |
A42781 | His Interrogation, Will the Lord cast off for ever,& c? |
A42781 | How astonishingly doth Spira speak to this purpose? |

A42781 | How impossible is it to cast up the total Sum of so many large Items? |
A42781 | How is Satan pleased to labour in a Design that will kindle the Wrath of the Almighty? |
A42781 | How like a Convert did Saul look, after David had convinced him of his integrity, and had spared his life in the Cave? |
A42781 | How little can a sickly Body do? |
A42781 | How many have I known, that have been tortured with these Texts, judging their Estate fearful, because of their wilfulness in sinning? |

A42781 | How weak and childish are Sinners that suffer themselves thus to be abused? |
A42781 | I said I will look to my ways, and what endeavours could be more severe, than to keep himself as with Bit and Bridle? |
A42781 | I see sin is a strong in me as ever? |
A42781 | If Art can do all this, how much more may we suppose can Satan do? |
A42781 | If Men give way to this, what reason can be imagined to stand before them? |
A42781 | If a Man sets his Face toward Heaven, thus he endeavours to scare him off; Is not( saith he) the way of Religion a dull, melancholy way? |
A42781 | If all these particulars be weighed, what presumptuous act can be propounded by Satan which Pride may not lead to? |
A42781 | If any put that Question to him, which the Jews did to Christ; By what Authority dost thou these things? |

A42781 | Is not this thy fear, thy Confidence, thy Hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? |
A42781 | Is not thy Heart hardned to everlasting destruction? |
A42781 | Is there any sorrow like to my sorrow? |
A42781 | Is there knowledg in the most High? |
A42781 | It is not a toile? |
A42781 | Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be Reproabates? |
A42781 | Let it( I say) be left to the consideration of Men, how it should be, without some such extraordinary Cause as hath been mentioned? |
A42781 | Lord, why castest thou off my Soul, why hidest thou thy Face from me? |
A42781 | Many such fits David had, and in them, complained at this rate, Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A42781 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A42781 | Nay how impossible is it, to make that expression of the Apostle,[ he was tempted in all points like as we are,] to agree to an imaginary Temptation? |

A42781 | Satan goes on: What greater evidence can there be of an hardned Heart, than Impenitency? |
A42781 | Secondly, But in things doubtful, where there is not a clear certainly, what is Truth? |
A42781 | Shall we Sin, that Grace may abound? |

A42781 | The acknowledgment of the Witches Power,[ Why hast thou disquieted me?] |
A42781 | Therefore say they unto God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes; who is the Almighty that we should serve him? |
A42781 | These if they meet with Pains or Troubles,( and who can challenge an exemption from them?) |
A42781 | Thirdly; That Malice must needs be great, that will pursue a small matter: what small game will the Devil play, rather than altogether sit out? |

A42781 | Upon this supposition, that these Texts speak of wilful sinning in the General; How little can be said against Satan''s Argument? |
A42781 | Upon this the Devil starts the question to his Heart, whether it be not better to forbear all Duty, and to do nothing? |
A42781 | Was he real in that command, that you should not Eat at all,& c. the like he doth to Christ, Is it true? |
A42781 | Was it that Satan thought to prevail against him? |
A42781 | We can scarce imagine what ways he hath to divert and hinder them, by what private discouragements he doth defer them, who can tell? |

A42781 | You may say, What is there of direction for us in this Case? |
A42781 | You will say, How must we try? |
A42781 | and a condition which will make you a terrour to your selves, and a burthen to others? |
