A61473Doth the most high God in thy spirit shine out with the light of his blessed beauty and love?
A61473First, Suffer not for the favour of man to please any party or perswasion; Saint Paul saith, Do I perswade men, or God?
A61473First, Suffer only for a Ministry of grace; hast thou seen the beauty of Christ?
A61473I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it; what''s that name and that declaration?
A61473O how free is this grace and love in all its sweetness, and how sweet in all its freedome, flowing from the divine nature, from the God- head?
A61473Oh how many such Jewish devout spirits be among Christians?
A61473This love signifies a natural love that flows freely and sweetly from its own nature; O how high a love is that of free grace?
A61473Who shall seperate us from the love of Christ?
A61473and is not one hour spent thus, better than thousands in all the glory of the world?
A61473canst thou now think there are any joyes, any treasures to be compared with this State?
A61473doth he by thy spirit shed abroad his dearest love to many souls?
A61473hast thou known how sweet the Lord Jesus is to the poor soul of man, to poor lost sinners?
A61473hast thou tasted the love of Christ?

A61473how full is the Covenant of grace?
A61473how sweet is it to rest in the bosome and lye in the arms of free grace?
A61473is not one grain of this glory better, of more worth, than all this world at present, with respect to the present sweetness?
A61473or do I seek to please men?
A61473shall tribulation, distress, or persecution, famine, or nakedness, peril or sword?
A61473the Lord speak thus, Who art thou, O great Mountain?
A61473what strength, virtue, sweetness, and joy, is there in life?
A61473what will it then be as it grows up in full ripe Fruits to Eternity?
A5373112. Who can understand his Errors?
A53731And how can it be charged as an Aggravation of their sin, that they do not use the Right which they have, seeing they have no Power so to do?
A53731And this is the first Case which renders the Question dubious, Whether Sin have the Dominion in us or no?
A53731And what shall long, in such a Case, stop Sins out of the Throne?
A53731BUT you will say then, Unto what end serves this Right, if they have not Power in themselves to put it in Execution?
A53731Believe not its flatteries, is it not a little one?
A53731But how doth this give relief?
A53731But if you shall say unto it, what then shall we do?
A53731But what Ground have we for this Hope?
A53731But what is the way whereby we may be enabled so to do?
A53731Can any spiritual Eye behold Christ dying for Sin, and continue to live in Sin?
A53731Can we behold him bleeding for our Sins, and not endeavour to give them their deaths Wound?
A53731Doth it take advantage from our darkness and confusion under Troubles, Distresses or Temptations?
A53731Hath it almost habituated the Soul unto careless and corrupt Inclinations unto the love, of or conformity to the World?
A53731How much work do we see about Religion and religious Duties?
A53731IS it not because they have other reliefs to betake themselves unto?
A53731IS it that sin, though it abides, yet it shall not fight nor contend for Dominion in us?
A53731IS it that there shall be no Sin in them any more?
A53731Is there no difference between Sin''s Dominion, and Sin''s Tyranny and Vsurpation?
A53731It is so, whether this be the fault of Churches or of perticular Persons?
A53731NOW among disquisitions of this latter Nature and Use, this is none of the least, Whether we are under the Dominion of Sin or no?
A53731O Lord, why hast thou hardened our Heart from thy Fear?
A53731Shall I despise his purchace?
A53731Shall we keep that alive in us, which he dy''d for, that it might not eternally destroy us?
A53731THUS far have we proceeded in the enquiry, Whether Sin hath the Dominion in us or no?
A53731The Second Enquiry spoken to; Whether Sin hath Dominion in us or no?
A53731The Second Enquiry spoken to; Whether Sin hath Dominion in us or no?
A53731They have Right to say unto it, Get thee hence, what have I to do any more with Idols?
A53731We may therefore in this Case continually expostulate with our Souls, as David doth; Why go you mourning because of the Oppression of the Enemy?
A53731What Assurance of this Success?
A53731What constant observation of the Times and Seasons of them?
A53731What is the assurance given us, and what are the Grounds thereof, that Sin shall not have Dominion over us?
A53731What is the assurance given us, and what are the Grounds thereof, that Sin shall not have Dominion over us?
A53731What power will it communicate unto its destruction?
A53731Why are you cast down, and why are you disquieted within us?
A53731Will he always call upon God?
A53731Will you blame a Man that hath a Right to an Estate if he do not recover it, when he hath no means so to do?
A53731YOU will say then, Whereto serves the Gospel, and the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in this Case, if it be not able to give us deliverance herein?
A53731this Tyrant, this Enemy, is too hard for us ▪ what aid and assistance against it will it afford unto us?
A6700018, 19. what need of reconciling him that so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son?
A67000An innocent person did I say?
A67000And again, whether that Holy Nature of God doth not oblige him as much not to punish the Righteous, yea though he be willing, as to punish the guilty?
A67000And do not many of the Souldiers his followers, meet with such a sense of sufferings that are before them, as put them into an Agony?
A67000And what good Governour I pray, would not rather in such a case punish the sinner than the Righteous?
A67000And will not all men hate and abhor that Government as cruel and tyrannical, where every the least breach of the Law must certainly be fully avenged?
A67000Are these the Actions, and this the state of a man under the greatest Curse that God can lay upon him?
A67000But are therefore all the Laws in the World ludicrous?
A67000But did not the same Light in the Heathens teach them, that God was Merciful and Gracious, pardoning sin without a satisfaction or full punishment?
A67000But how contrary is this to the reason of punishment, and to Scripture?
A67000But is that also from the necessity of God''s Nature, and not from his gracious Will, and merciful Determination?
A67000But let me argue with him a little: How can that be a true and proper satisfaction, which the Creditor is at the cost of himself?
A67000But secondly, How doth it arise from this Text, That Christ made full satisfaction to the Justice of God?
A67000But suppose that could be; How then justified freely or gratis by his grace, if he received a ful satisfaction?
A67000Did Christ think that God hated him, when he knew he was his wel- beloved Son?
A67000Did he inflict this evil upon some other that should bear it in their stead?
A67000Did he not upon the Cross invocate God, saying, My God, my God, though he had forsaken him in giving him up to the power of his enemies?
A67000Did not God send an Angel to comfort him?
A67000Doth not his bringing in a Surety here, overthrow his reason?
A67000How comes it to pass that this punishment is not inflicted upon him that doth the ill, but upon another?
A67000How justified by Grace or savour, if by a full satisfaction?
A67000How ordinary is it for men to think the Scriptures speak what they would have them speak?
A67000How should Christ be a compleat Captain, if he did not experience as great trials, as any of the Souldiers are like to meet with?
A67000If sin require to be punished, it is in him that doth the evil, not in another?
A67000Is Christ obliged to give us Faith because he bought it?
A67000Is God kind to the unthankful and evil?
A67000Is he not thereby the more fit to be their Captain?
A67000Is not this to clude the most plain and excellent Precepts and Arguments in the Gospel?
A67000Must Absurdities there be reputed for Mysteries?
A67000Nay, is it not the main purport of the Gospel, to shew that God forgives us our sins by Jesus Christ?
A67000O, whither doth Error drive men?
A67000Or is the Son and Holy Spirit of a more merciful and gracious nature, so that they will pardon sin without a satisfaction, though the Father can not?
A67000Or, dare we say, We immitate God, when we do not pardon them any thing, except we have our due to a doit?
A67000Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right?
A67000Then be comforted ye damned, for it will not be so hard with you, as is imagined?
A67000What an empty vain word would Forgiveness be at this rate?
A67000What?
A67000Where is this necessity of his Nature, or veracity of his threatnings, obliging him to punish every sin?
A67000Who can tell( say they, notwithstanding an absolute threatning) if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
A67000Why not believe the Papists then, when they assert the Bread to be Flesh, and say it is a Mystery?
A67000Will any man be beholden to us for forgiving his trespasses, when we have receiv''d full satisfaction, as much to a tittle as the Law allows?
A67000Will it not be impertinent to name a few among so great a number?
A67000Would it have bin any such rich Grace for God to let men alone after he had punished their sins to the utmost?
A67000and did he not then comend his Spirit into his Father''s hands?
A67000and that this obedience of his in dying, should be rewarded with eternal Glory?
A67000for did he not pray to God in the Garden, and call him Father?
A67000have excus''d himself for his severity to his fellow- servant by this Doctrine?
A67000how comes it to pass?
A67000may there not from hence be given a good account of all the sufferings and the death of Christ, that he was to be the Captain of our Salvation?
A67000must we be absur''d onely in our Faith?
A67000what is more contrary to Grace, than to give nothing but what one is paid for?
A67000what more opposite to Kindness or Goodness, than exacting all that strict Justice may require?
A67000would it not even grieve a man of Ingenuity to be saved( if it were possible) at this rate?
A4112413. with a How long Lord shall I have this proud heart, shall I never be humble?
A4112415. feede upon his fathers dishes?
A4112418. that his eyes fayled for his promise, When wilt thou comfort me?
A411242 Consider that there is no good, indeede good to thee, but onely in grace: What is it that men desire?
A411242. doe you lay out your silver, and not for bread, and your labour without being satisfied?
A4112450. or 60. yeares; what are thy desires?
A41124A boate, a boate, cryes the passenger, when he would goe over the water; what, is it the boate he desireth?
A41124Art thou proud, and hast not grace to bee humbled?
A41124Before the Israelites tasted of the Manna, they cryed out, What manner of meate is this?
A41124But how shall we get our hearts truely to desire grace?
A41124Dost thou desire Riches?
A41124Dost thou desire honour, and length of dayes, even eternity?
A41124Examine therefore thy selfe, hast thou desired faith, and yet doest thou distrust God?
A41124For what dead prayer?
A41124How long Lord shall my heart bee under these corruptions shall I never get victory over them?
A41124Is God become this evill?
A41124Many say, who will shew us any good?
A41124No, but on his fat calfe; What though I have a golden key, if it will not open the doore?
A41124Thirdly, suppose they were permanent, yet they are unnaturall to the soule; Can a horse feede upon flesh, or a Lyon upon straw?
A41124We cry out a Sermon, a Sermon, a prayer, a Sacrament, but to what end?
A41124What good is it for a man to have brave gally pots about him, if there be no physicke in them to heale his sicknesse?
A41124When a man is at a banquet, doth hee desire the dishes, or the meate in the dishes?
A41124Where there is most feare, there is most desire: What is the reason that women are most subject to desire, but because they are most fearfull?
A41124Who are more covetous than they that feare they shall never have riches enough?
A41124Why?
A41124Woe unto them that desire the day of the Lord, to what end is it for you?
A41124are they more than before?
A41124can a mans soule feede upon lusts, and pleasures and vanities?
A41124cast thine eye upon that which is nothing?
A41124comes hee to the Church, heares the Word, receives the Sacraments?
A41124doest not thou onely heare the Word, but delightest in hearing the Word?
A41124doest thou not onely come to the Sacraments, but delight in the receiving?
A41124he had no comfort in his crowne or Kingdome, or any other thing, and therefore he prayes, Oh, when wilt thou comfort me?
A41124here is thundring indeede, of wrath and revenge, hell and damnation, and the like: what, can wee not goe to heaven without all this pudder and stirre?
A41124how long ere I shall bee a factor for heaven, as I have beene for earth?
A41124how long shall I serve the devil, shall I never serve my God?
A41124is it not good?

A43821& c. Have we it not in Scripture?
A4382128. saying, Come and see a man which hath told me all things that ever I did: Is not this the Christ?
A43821According to his purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began: how possibly given us before the world began?
A43821And I would ask further, I beseech you, unless there be a Ministery, how shall we have Popery confuted?
A43821And where lies this strengthning grace?
A43821Are all Physicians of a minde?
A43821Behold the Ministry, in Christs intention in giving it: Why did he give it?
A43821But then further, what love should we have?
A43821But what strength?
A43821First, That there should be a growth; how a growth?

A43821I''le put no Character upon them, you know who in England are, and you have heard who in Scotland, and what Government think you they would settle?
A43821It may be God intends not to all men the same proportion: Shall I contemn my Brother, because I have more grace?
A43821Nay further, Jesus Christ will give up all things to the Father, When?
A43821Non vis errare?

A43821What is this Truth?
A43821What is this love?
A43821What, Drunkards, and Atheists, and Prophane wretches friends to Government?
A43821Who is he that condemneth?
A43821Who shall come in the stead of them to rule?
A43821Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
A43821Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
A43821Why will not you endeavor, that you and your carnal friends should have the same occasion of everlasting triumphing mutually in one another in heaven?
A43821Will you trust them with a Government?
A43821and a Government of their own setling?
A43821and why art thou disquieted within me?
A43821because there were or are some defects in Ordination by Bishops, or whoever; admit that to be true, but I beseech you, what is the Original?
A43821ego sum veritas; non vis mori?
A43821ego sum via; non vis falli?
A43821from Christ; and if any man will ask an able godly Minister in England, where had you your Ministery?
A43821had we not an everlasting Gospel before?
A43821in what year did it begin?
A43821shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
A43821then who are they?
A43821there was a time God prevented that: Do you not remember there was a time they would have divided City and Army?
A43821to keep open the Breach, that so at last Episcopacy and the old Common- Service- Book may come in again: Who sees not this?
A43821what Government think you we should have?
A43821why?
A415211230. resolving that Question, Whether the Observance of the Old or New Law be the most burdensome?
A415211265. in resolving that Question, Whether the new Law can justify a Man?
A41521And how was he thus mortified to the Law of Works?
A41521And now, what is the Ground of this desperate Assertion?
A41521And then determining that Question, Whether this new Evangelical Law hath the Virtue of justifying a Man?
A41521And was it not the Neglect of the due Exercise of Faith, which at last plung''d him into the Depths of Misery and Despair?
A41521And was not Adam, while flourishing in his State Innocence, a real and sincere Believer?
A41521Are any Precepts wanting in it?
A41521Ay but it will be said, What is all this to the Purpose of the present Controversy, wherein we have not to do with Arminians?
A41521But I say, Have they not heard?
A41521But in the Close of the Dispute, this Jesuit Contzen joyfully cries out, Victory; And what animated his Courage?
A41521But what are the Trophies of Conquest which he shews to this purpose?
A41521But what meaning then must we apprehend these Scriptures to bear?
A41521But what need was there that I should mention the Testimonies of Men, when Witness offers it self from Heaven?
A41521By what Law?
A41521Doth this become the Wisdom of God to act so preposterously?
A41521For if by my Obedience to some Law I may be justified, and the Works of that can be my Righteousness, why should Christ die?
A41521For unless he signified a new Doctrine, what need was there at length to promise a Law, which had been made so many Years before?
A41521For what is Faith, but to trust in God upon his Word and Promise for all our Life and Happiness?
A41521From the Gospel?
A41521How can that be, when the least Sound of it never arriv''d to their Ears?
A41521How could it be a Duty for him to own his Crime with Shame and Sorrow, who never yet had transgressed, or prevaricated in his Obedience?
A41521In all these Meanings the Apostle asserts himself to be dead to the Law: And what was it made him so?
A41521Promittit enim, hîc novum verbum, nisi enim novam Doctrinam significaret, quid opus erat denuo promittere Legem, quae tot annis antè lata erat?
A41521That to have distrusted God, to have renounced Dependance on him, would not have been a Crime the greatest as could be committed by him?
A41521The People answered him, We have heard out of the Law, that Christ abideth for ever: and how saist thou, The Son of Man must be lift up?
A41521Then one of them which was a Lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great Commandment in the Law?
A41521This seems to be fairly offer''d to compound the Business: but what if the Apostle refuseth the Composition?
A41521This suppos''d Error the Jesuit applies himself to confute; and in resolving that Question, What is the Law of Works?
A41521What I have proposed to my self to debate in the present Discourse, is, Whether the Gospel be a new Law?
A41521What is it to be dead to the Law?
A41521What then shall I brand my Reverend Brother with any of these hated Names?
A41521What then?
A41521What, by a new Law of Works lower''d to more moderate Conditions?
A41521Whence have they this binding Precept of Repentance?
A41521Where is boasting then?
A41521Who can think of God but as All- knowing, and having at one view a certain Prospect of all Persons and Things, past, present, and to come?
A41521Who is this Son of Man?
A41521Who will say, that the Sun doth its Duty in performing its constant laborious Course, or that a Reward is due when it hath done its Work?
A41521and so long as he persisted in acting Faith, did he not continue to be happy?
A41521and what is Unbelief but to distrust him?
A41521and what the Law of Faith?
A41521how then did Christ compleat all Righteousness in the most exact observance of it?
A41521is Holiness the Condition of obtaining the Beatifical Vision?
A41521is that Law imperfect, which was the Rule of the most perfect Obedience that ever was, and which excell''d that of Angels?
A41521it will be said, doth the Law require Repentance when it made no Proposals of Pardon for the Crime?
A41521of Works?
A41521or to what purpose was he obedient, since no other Ends of his Death and Obedience are assigned, but the Justification of a Sinner?
A41521will it thence follow that the Gospel, which is a Doctrine of Grace, is also a dreadful threatning Law?

A90296And what is England, that it should be amongst the choice branches of the vineyard, the top boughs of the Cedars of God?
A90296And what shall we say to these things?

A90296Hunger can not truly be satisfied without manna, the bread of life, which is Jesus Christ: and what shall a hungry man do that hath no bread?
A90296Is it not the daily language of your hearts, Whom have we in heaven but thee?
A90296It is true, there be many that say, who will shew us any good?
A90296Let not truth be weighed in the balance of our interest; Will not a dram of that, turn the scale with some against many arguments?

A90296Now is all this variety, think you, to be ascribed unto chance, as the Philosopher thought the world was made by a casuall concurrence of atomes?

A90296O that Wales, O that Ireland, O that France, Where shall I stop?

A45400( Is not one of these as truly future, as the other, when the man is not yet borne?)
A45400Again you aske, can God seriously call him, who[ he sees] will never repent, seriously do that he sees useless, and absolutely ineffectuall?]
A45400And how then is this reconcileable with the doctrine of sufficient grace alwayes accompanying the word?
A45400And this introduceth the fourth and last question, What then is it that renders sufficient Grace Effectuall both to Conversion and Perseverance?
A45400And what if Godsees from all eternity that he will thus fall, doth that render his fall unavoidable?
A45400B. is truly salvable whilst you retain your supposition that he is damned?
A45400B. will never rise again, how do you know, or imagine God sees it, but because you suppose it true, that he will never rise again?
A45400But 1. Who urged that former argument in that forme?
A45400But I can not confine Gods foreknowledge to this one head, for why may he not also see,( and as easily,) that this, and that will both be?
A45400But if some things be possible to come to passe, which yet do not come to passe, why may not God see they will not come to passe?
A45400But say you, his understanding can be no more actuall then the thing is from whence he derives that understanding,] what truth is there in this?
A45400But you take no heed to the place of Scripture, which I demonstrated it by, turne you, turne you, why will you dye?
A45400By it''s own insufficiency or impropriety to the disease, or by the obstinacy of the patient, that he will not take it?
A45400Doth any man now want a perspective to discerne that these messages of heaven were not vaine?
A45400For can you doubt that God knowes what is now past?
A45400How so?
A45400How wide are these one from the other?
A45400I may not unfitly ask this question, whether they think God had then that kindness to Absolom that David had?
A45400I must ask by what meanes it comes to passe that that medicine will do him no good?
A45400I now ask you, how you know he is?
A45400I pray, is nothing possible to come to passe, but what actually comes to passe?
A45400I presume you do not, can not; And then why may he not as well know what is future?
A45400If he had not, how can it be drawn into example to God?
A45400If he sees them as they will be hereafter, sure this is sufficient, who would desire any more?
A45400Is it all one to our purpose, whether I commit sin freely, when I had grace to abstain from it, or God cause or work it in me?
A45400Is that a mistake which is perfectly true?
A45400Let it then be granted that Gods understanding depends on the thing, what followes thence?
A45400Must all this now be imputed to Gods ignorance how all things would frame in the world in this other course, which yet it appeares he hath chosen?
A45400O Lord, how long shall we thus violate and defame that Gospel of peace that we profess?
A45400Or is not Gods foresight agreeable to what is?
A45400Then how was Christ given in decreto divino, before the creation of the world?
A45400What hath he to do to judge them that are without?
A45400What two things can be lesse all one then these?
A45400Whether the Scripture ought not to be our guide in all even opining and conjecturing in such matters, which are so much above our reason?
A45400Why do you not lay this to heart, when it is so cleare, and( you yet give me your leave to say,) unanswerable?
A45400Would you think it tolerable for any Christian to say hereupon, it was vain, for Christ to do all this?
A45400Your supposed intricacy, or unfathomable question, is, what it is that makes sufficient grace to be effectuall to any?
A45400before his conversion,( and then for the gaining of Gods savour what needed his conversion?)
A45400how long shall we thus madly defeat our selves, lose that Christianity which we pretend to strive for?
A45400of not- resisting; which what is it other then a direct contradiction, a power and not a power to the same act?
A45400or consequently of your whole cause?
A45400whence is this probity?
A8570412 fall from grace, what need they endeavour after fruitfulnesse or good works?
A8570413 believers can not fall away, what loosenesse is it they may not run into?
A8570413 drink for to morrow we shall die: what matter for following peace and holinesse?
A8570428. who they are see my answer to the third Argument?
A857048 It hardeneth them also against Church censures that are sentenced for their impenitency, for what will they say, what need I matter your censures?
A85704I no consolation in Christ?
A85704I will keep my money, what need I be so rich in good works?
A85704What doth this text prove that believers can not fall away?
A85704What may be the reason that many so do, is it not as much in this as any one thing, that they suppose they can not fall?
A85704and then will I professe unto them I never knew you, depart from me ye workers of iniquity, what did not Christ know them?
A85704are commanded to take heed to themselves, and to the Flock: why what is the matter?
A85704as if Christ should say you call me lord, but why do you so?
A85704establish us it can not, for we can not fall, we are established from the beginning, dy we can not, what use of food?
A85704had been more pertinent to the business, where the Apostle makes this holy challenge, Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A85704how am I your lord, and you keep not my sayings?
A85704if we can not fall what do they serve for?
A85704mark, they then shall be presented holy, unreprovable, unblameable: upon what terms?
A85704must we arme our selves, when none can overcome us?
A85704must we watch and no Enemy to approach us?
A85704no comfort of the Spirit?
A85704nor can come to us?
A85704or doth it prove that some have fallen away?
A85704or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul?
A85704overcome we can not be, what use of strengthning?
A85704shall we give God the ly?
A85704the lord Christ will make as little account of them one day, for he saith, why call you me lord lord and do not the things that I say?
A85704they can not fall, nothing can seperate them from Christ?
A85704they that are justified persons, or else lyable to be deceived?
A85704what because we must hold out to the end, or else lose our crown?
A85704what do they teach us, must we take heed and beware, and no danger neer us?
A85704what he that made them, not know them?
A85704what is it for a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
A85704what matter for abstaining from fleshly lusts, or for cleansing our selves from filthinesse of flesh and spirit?
A85704what may the rich man say?
A85704what need they watch, pray, hear, or doe any thing?
A85704what need we fear if we can not fall?
A85704what need we take heed if there be no danger?
A85704what should we take heed, watch beware, take care to stand fast in the faith?
A85704why do we read them?
A61026And Lord encrease my faith: But not, Lord whether is this true faith I have or no?
A61026And are not all the promises in him, Yea and Amen?
A61026And live to Christ?
A61026And now, why shall any servant of Christ refuse to give out that blood of his Masters which runs so freely to sinners?
A61026And obey Christ?
A61026And shall we call every one Antinomian that speaks Free- grace, or a little more freely then we do?
A61026And so through Christ derived upon all his, we being said to be compleat in him; Doth not all fulnesse dwell in him, and all receive of his fulnesse?
A61026And what need we light up a Candle for the children of the day to see by?
A61026And what were all that beleeved, before they beleeved?
A61026Are not some called at the eleventh hour of the day?
A61026Are not the fruits and effects of the spirit in me, such as follow immediately upon my being justified?
A61026As if he should say, doth any of your hearts tell ye you are sinners?
A61026As to say, you, such a one, or such a one, can not beleeve, you have no right to Christ?
A61026But I pray, what temptation had you concerning your not beleeving?
A61026But let us consider: Can the Free- grace of Jesus Christ tempt any one to sin of it self?
A61026But what saith it?
A61026But what use is there then of my sanctification?
A61026But why do the Apostles presse sanctification, and the new man so, and love, and new obedience,& c. in all their Epistles?
A61026But will you conclude it is not there because you know it not to be there?
A61026But you will say, How if a soul answer, I can not beleeve for all this?
A61026But you will say, What are all the divers Scriptures which set us upon trial and examination of our saith and works?
A61026But you will say, What way of assurance would you commend to a soul thus troubled?
A61026But you will say, how will you deal then with a soul thus puzzled; and questioning?
A61026But you will say, what way will you take then?
A61026Came not the promise to Adam, even then when he was dead in sin?
A61026Can a good Tree bring forth evil fruit?
A61026Can a sinner be too foul for a Saviour, and too wounded for a Physitian to heal, and too filthy for a fountain opened to wash?
A61026Can all the love- tokens or testimonial Rings and Bracelets?
A61026Can any say I am not elected, seeing his wisdom is unsearchable, and his wayes past finding out?
A61026Can the counsels of God, concerning the vessels of wrath be known?
A61026Can you conclude you have no faith, because you have no full assurance?
A61026Did you not see any need of Christ?
A61026Do I delight in Christ, and those that are Christs?
A61026Do not the promises belong to sinners as sinners?
A61026Do not they that would beleeve, onely if their sins were lesse or lesse hainous, beleeve rather upon some ground in themselves, then Gods command?
A61026Do we therefore make voide the Law by the preaching of Faith?
A61026Had you any reluctancy in sinning, or did you it with full consent?
A61026Had you no fits of terrour of conscience in your continuance in those sins?
A61026I Pray relate to me how long you continued in your back- sliding, till the Lord let you see it to the terrour of your soul as you thought?
A61026I finde one saying, Lord, I beleeve, help my unbeleef: But not, Lord whether do I beleeve or no?
A61026I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
A61026I pray let me know some particular temptations you have had, if you think good?
A61026If I be Christs, do I walk with Christ?
A61026In the Gospel all are immediately called to beleeve; to day if ye will hear his voice: Sirs saith the Jaylor, what must I do to be saved?
A61026In this your natural state, how far did the light of conscience check you or put you upon any Reformation?
A61026Is faith alwayes with full assurance?
A61026Is it not mixt of flesh& spirit?
A61026Is not Christ the onely qualified person for all promises?
A61026Is not this Satans temptation then to perswade you to conclude any thing for your condemnation before hand?
A61026Is there any exception against you in particular, in the whole Book of God?
A61026It would be a strange question in any that were bidden to a Feast, to ask the Master of the Feast whether his dainties were real or a delusion?
A61026LEt me know now in order, what your doubts are, which you think, if you were satisfied in, your soul could be at peace?
A61026Nay, Who is there not that have a desire?
A61026Now we know that the Apostle saith, Received ye the Spirit by the preaching of the Law, or the preaching of Faith?
A61026Now, what infallible signe is there to perswade any that they are perswaded, when themselves question the truth of their perswasion?
A61026Or do I live to my self?
A61026Or who shall descend into the deep?
A61026Paul tels you, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend unto Heaven?
A61026Shall faith begin our interest here, and not be able to continue it hereafter?
A61026Since the best and throrowst sanctification in any, is not pure enough for the eyes of the Lord; why make you it then any bottom for assurance?
A61026The Arminians boast themselves to be as great Patrons of Free- grace as others: And why?
A61026The Ministers of it, or preachers and publishers of it, but homely; What is Paul or Apollo''s, but Ministers by whom we beleeve?
A61026The thief upon the Crosse at the hour of his death?
A61026The third Doubt is WHether you do beleeve or no?
A61026There lie the depthes of the wisdom of God, and the unsearchablenesse of his wayes; and who can know the minde of the Lord?
A61026To my profit, or credit?
A61026To others or the world?
A61026WHat manner of life did you lead ▪ as you can well remember?
A61026Were not your checks such as put you upon some other religious duties?
A61026Were they sinners or qualified?
A61026Were you much delighted in those sins, so as you committed them with greedinesse, or were you over- powred partly through the strength of corruption?
A61026What Law did Peter preach to Cornelius, or Philip to the Eunuch, or Ananias to Paul, or Paul to the Jaylor, and his houshold, but only Jesus Christ?
A61026What grounds have you to question your being in Christ?
A61026What mean you by this change, in your own sense?
A61026What were the Churches of the Corinthians, Ephesians, Colossians; and what was Paul before Christ came to him?
A61026What, is faith then to be accounted before Justification, according to this principle?
A61026What, is there any striving for a stream in the channel, when the fountain is open?
A61026Whether are any promises made to any in Christ, or out of Christ, onely in themselves?
A61026Whether are not you then as free for Christ to come to, as they were?
A61026Whether were not you in their condition or no, that is, a sinner, according to your own apprehension?
A61026Who can more principally, and with clearer satisfaction perswade the Spouse of the good will of him she loves, but himself?
A61026Who can more properly shew one that he sees, then the light which enlightens him for that very purpose?
A61026Who shall condemn?
A61026Who shall condemn?
A61026Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A61026Why then do you feel after it so as you do?
A61026Will you say a thing is not there because you feel it not there?
A61026Yea; for they that are justified, are sanctified too, which I can not finde in my self?
A61026and if they say they can not desire, O but then say they, can you not desire that you may desire?
A61026or who hath been his counsellour?

A61026would not such a question disparage him for a Sorcerer?

A67781Again, If it be asked, Why the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God?
A67781And in another place; Know ye not, that the amity of the world, is the enmity of God?
A67781And what greater folly?
A67781And what is the cause they acknowledg not the same now, but their blindness and folly?
A67781And what is the summa totalis of all but this?
A67781Are not these so many infallible properties of a fool?
A67781As how often is that spent upon one Christmas revelling by the son, which was forty years a getting by the Father?
A67781BUt would these men( any one, even the best of them) thus improve, or imploy their knowledge?
A67781Besides, if these great knowers know so little, how ignorant are the rude rabble, that despise all knowledge?
A67781Briefly, how oft doth wisdom without grace prove like a fair estate in the hands of a sool, which not seldom becomes the owners ruine?
A67781But If you would know how to call them, they are properly subtle persens?
A67781But Sixthly, what can we think of an improvident Gamester?
A67781But how shall a man know, whether he hath this knowledge?
A67781But what can the Prince of darknesse propound?
A67781But why?
A67781Did our Saviour Christ forbear to heal on the Sabbath day, because the Scribes and Pharisees took it ● ll?
A67781Fourthly, what think you of common Idolaters?
A67781How could hee other then thinke, if lust had not blinded and bewitched him?
A67781How did they shake him off in that pittiful distresse, with look thou to it?
A67781How the heat of the stomach, and the strength of the nether chap should be so great?
A67781How the waters should stand upon a heap, and yet not over- flow the earth?
A67781If Idolaters will need set up a false god for the true, is it not equal, that the true God should give them over to the false?
A67781In the last place, Are not all wilfull sinners arrant fools?
A67781Is it not a dear purchase?
A67781Is it not the manner of thousands with us?
A67781Kill the Child in the womb, and never hurt the Mother?
A67781Or do they desire it to any such end?
A67781Or that Germain Clow ●, who under- took to be very ready in the ten Commandments: but being demanded by the Minister which was the first?
A67781Paul a polluter of the Temple?
A67781Seventhly, let me refer it to any rational man, whether the Voluptuous Prodigal is not a stark Fool?
A67781She whose body is mercenary to me, will easily fell me to others?
A67781Steven a destroyer of the Law?
A67781Tell me, wherewith thou mayest be bound to do thee hurt?
A67781That think the vowed enemy of their souls, can offer them a bait without a hook?
A67781They set their mouths against heaven, and are like an unruly Jade, that being full fed kicks at his Master; what course doth the Lord take with them?
A67781Thirdly, are the one regenerate, the other carnall?
A67781To have as expert a tongue, and as quick a memory as Portius; a perfect understanding, great science, profound eloquence, a sweet stile?
A67781To have the force of Demosthenes, the depth of Thesius, the perswasive art of Tully,& c. if withal he wants Grace, and lives remissely?
A67781VVhat cause have we then to blesse the giver?
A67781Was it not an a gu ● ● nt that Haman was blinde?
A67781Was not Ahab blinde?
A67781Was not the wisdome of the Serpent turned into a curse?
A67781Was there ever such a motion made to a reasonable man?
A67781We fools thought his life madnesse, and his end to be without honour: How is he now numbred with the children of God, and his lot among the Saints?
A67781Were not the Jews, Scribes& Pharisees blind, who could see more unlawfulness in the Disciples plucking a few ears of Corn on the sabbath- day?
A67781What communion between light and darknesse?
A67781What hath pride profited us?
A67781What is the notional sweetness of Honey, to the experimental taste of it?
A67781What saith Aristotle?
A67781What saith Pharaoh to his deep Counsellors?
A67781What saith our Saviour?
A67781What sayes Aristotle?
A67781When Christ taught in the Temple, they asked, Hovv knovveth this man the Scriptures, seeing he never learned them?
A67781Who would not have spurned such a sutor out of doors?
A67781Why a flash of lightening should melt the sword without making any impression in the scabbard?
A67781Why is this cast away, saith Iudas?
A67781Why the Loadstone should draw iron, or incline to the pole- star?
A67781Why the clouds above being heavie with water, should not fall to the earth suddenly, seeing every heavy thing descendeth?
A67781Will the Merchant be discouraged because his wine pleaseth not a sicke mans palate?
A67781With the Astronomer, to observe the motions of the heavens; while his heart is buried in the earth?
A67781With the Historian, to know what others have done, and how they have sped; while he neglecteth the imitation of such, as are gone the right way?
A67781With the Law- maker, to set down many Lawes in particular, and not to remember the common Law of nature, or Law general that all must die?
A67781Yea, how little was Judas set by of the High Priests, when once he had served their turn?
A67781Yea, how severely will they censure, not only things indifferent, but the most holy and approved good duties in the godly?
A67781Yea, what a deale of paines and care does the covetous man take for his own damnation?
A67781Yea, when it was said of Phocian and Demosthenes, that they could never agree; it was answered, No, how should they?
A67781Yea, will they not more deeply censure our serving of God, then their own blaspheming of him?
A67781an ill penni- worth?
A67781and be themselves the greatest of sinners, then our Saviour to be in company with sinners?
A67781and the Palsie man''s carrying his bed; then in their own devouring of Widows houses?
A67781are not they arrant fools?
A67781but they are grosly mistaken: for wherein does this their great wisdom consist?
A67781could not Paul shew as much cunning as Tertullus?
A67781is not he a Fool?
A67781not that there is a deficiency of power in the godly, but will: for could not David go as far as Achitophel?
A67781or what good hath our riches and our vaunting brought us?
A67781the one Christs friends, the other his enemies?
A67781the one children of light, and of the day, the other blinde and in darknesse?
A67781the one of this world, the other chosen out of it?
A67781the wisdome of Achitophel into folly?
A67781the wisdome of Jezabel, into a shameful death?
A67781the wisdome of Nimrod into confusion?
A67781the wisdome of the Pharisees into a woe?
A67781the wisdome of the unjust Steward into expulsion out of Heaven?
A67781this divine and supernatural wisdom?
A67781to have the theory,& be able to prattle of wisdom by rote; yet not know what it is by effect and experience?
A67781to search out the cause of many effects, and let pass the consideration of the principal, and most necessary?
A67781what peace between the Believer and the Infidel?
A67781who Adam- like, will receive what- ever comes, or is offered them?
A67781who thought Mordecaies not bowing the knee to hi ●, a more heinous offence, then his own murthering of thousands?
A67781who thought they might better murther Christ, then others believe in him?
A65659( c) As Christ saith, If you love them that love you, what reward have you?
A65659( h) Nunquid non in semine tota arbor?
A65659( i) What a ridiculous business was it, though the Historian excuse it?
A65659( i) Whence( say they in the Gospel) hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
A65659( k) Iam vero illud quale, quam sanctum, quod siquis ex Nobilibus converti ad Deum coeperit, statim honorem Nobilitatis amittit?
A65659( r) Do winds and waves oppose them?
A65659( s) Was it not ominous that a man should bring forth an Hare in Xerxes army?
A65659( t) Do great ones, such as think themselves Lords of the world, treat?
A65659( u) Should such a man as I fly?
A65659( u) Summa apud Deum est Nobilitas, esse clarum virtu ● i ● us, Quid apud Deum ● viris Nobilius Pe ● ro?
A65659( u) Who more despicable with men, then Peter a fisher man and poor?
A65659( x) Qualis( malùm) Deus isle est, qui tàm impuros ex se filios& sceleratos genuit?
A65659( y) If thy breath slink, or thou be deformed, wilt thou say, Thy father was sweet or fair?
A65659( y) What though children do not alwayes patrizare, but sometimes degenerate from the virtue of their Progenitours?
A65659( z) De praescientia verò quid dicam?
A65659And do we not think that there is a third man that may justly scorn both as having nothing in them of true Christianity?
A65659And how doth the wise Orator redeem himself out of his hands?
A65659And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more then others?
A65659And so we suppose St. Paul would have taken( k) Agrippa, Believest thou the Prophets?
A65659And what honour can proceed from a noble birth imbased by a sinfull life?
A65659And what other usage can Ministers expect, when they deal with rude people, but to have all manner of filth, and dung cast in their faces?
A65659And what then is the glory of the of the Nobles and Potentates of this world, compared to the glory which shall be revealed in the Saints?
A65659And wherefore this?
A65659Are not the Devils( if I may so say) as well- born and descended as the best?
A65659Are the one mercifull?
A65659Are they not the Sons of God, and the children all of them of the Highest?
A65659But how comes it to passe that such as are well descended, do so far transcend others?
A65659But who are these?
A65659But( p) Who knows not that gold and silver are deservedly preferred before Iron and Brasse which yet are more for use and service then they?
A65659Can we drink and pisse, pisse and drink in the same cups?
A65659Can we prise and despise, use and abuse the same persons?
A65659Dei filium imperabat lacere, ut operibus magìs quàm sermonibus Deus agnosceretur;& tu Nobilem te dicis qui es factus?
A65659Did their liberal hearts devise( m) liberal things, and doest thou practise thy self, and teach also thy children all( n) sordid arts?
A65659Did these want valour?
A65659Did they keep open house for all commers, and doest thou still shut up thy doors, lest others should come and eat up thy commons?
A65659Do not even the Publicans do the same?
A65659Do not even the Publicans so?
A65659Does the enemy overbear them in number?
A65659Doth not God himself complain of this as of a grosse and ridiculous deportment?
A65659Et ● heatricae illius turpitudinis qua fronte notatur actor, si adoratur exactor?
A65659Every creature is valued according to its own inherent worth, and must man alone take up his credit from without himself, from his Noble birth?
A65659For what is Godliness, but the imitation of God?
A65659For why?
A65659If they affect the Religion which they profess, and seek the advancement both of it, and those that administer thereunto; Do not the Heathen do so?
A65659Is Saul also among the Prophets?
A65659Is it not a shame and a grief, to see rare parts of nature either drowned with sottishness, or overrun with vice for lack of tillage?
A65659Is it not ridiculous to see men of great birth and wealth, to have little wit or worth?
A65659Is not his Mother called Mary?
A65659Is not this the Carpenters son?
A65659Is this house which is called by my Name, become a den of Robbers in mine eyes?
A65659It hath been questioned, though I think no great question need be made of it, Which conduces most to good living, A happy brith or good breeding?
A65659Many said, he hath a Devil and is mad, why hear ye him?
A65659May they save their life by flight?
A65659Of what Parentage?
A65659Of what Profession?
A65659Or do you think that Religion and Learning will stand alone without any helps and encouragements?
A65659Or if thou be weak and sickly, wilt thou plead, Thy father was stout and debonaire?
A65659Our Saviour commanded them silence, that proclaimed him with a loud voice to be the Son of God, and why?
A65659Quae justitiaē palma est?
A65659Quid in ● oeminis beatâ Mariá ● llustrius, quae spo ● sa ● a ● ri ● escri ● itur?
A65659Quomodo autem abjicitur scenicus per quem colitur Deus?
A65659So may we say here, If men have Wisdom and Learning, and Magnanimity, have they more then the Heathen?
A65659Some have highly commended their Masters, as not giving them an ill word in long journeys, nay in long service; and why?
A65659Thou that givest thy self out as descended of free and noble Parentage, wilt thou dishonour it by wretched Covetousness?
A65659Tritici granum sparsum terrae, generis sui gratiam reddit:& tu degeneras?
A65659Tu non respondes tuo?
A65659Was Hospitality all thy fore- fathers glory, and dost thou only pleas thy self with sordid Parsimony?
A65659We are delivered to do all these abominations?
A65659What advantage was it to Ishmael to be born, and by his wickedness to be( d) banished out of the same family?
A65659What do eminent birth, and eminent vices purchase for men, but more notorious ignominy?
A65659What meaner creature then the blessed Virgin espoused to a poor Carpenter?
A65659What should we speak of other things?
A65659What then?
A65659What wilt thou put out the bright lustre of thy kin, Sitting with women, son of stoutest Greek, to spin?
A65659What; Is not Learning worth the countenancing?
A65659When the pretious Spikenard was poured upon our Saviour, some had indignation and said,( k) What needs this waste?
A65659Wherefore?
A65659and his brethren James and Joses, Simon and Judas?
A65659and his sisters are they not all with us?
A65659aut quantus in Christiano populo honor Christi est, ubi religio ignobilem facit?
A65659or may they not seem to have drunk of the cup of spirits, which some talk of?
A65659or, Hear you what these flatterers say?
A65659quae corona?
A65659quas tenebras ex quo sulmine nasci passi estis?
A65659was that(( e) as the Apostle saith again) which was good made death?
A65659whence then hath this man all these things?
A65659who higher in the favour of God her Maker?
A65659who more honourable in the sight of God?
A49244A second question, How may a man know himself, that be is but of a little measure and small beginning in grace?
A49244Alas, how soon is the smoaking flax quenched, by the too much superciliousnesse of those that think themselves bright torches?
A49244Am I in a state of grace?
A49244And if this be so, how can that be truth, that strong temptations from the devil, may be confistent with strong grace in the heart?
A49244And in Mark, How is it that ye have no faith?
A49244Asaph, a holy man, yet thus complains, Will the Lord east off for ever, and will he be favourable no more?
A49244But in giving this honour unto Christ, do you not derogate from God the Father, when you say that all grace is from Christ?
A49244But what shall I do, that want the comfort of my grace, to procure it, that so I may have comfort answerable to grace?
A49244But who am I, and what is my people, that we should offer so willingly after this sort?
A49244Can you trust me for the bread of eternal life, and dare you not trust me for the bread of this life?
A49244Consider, who maketh thee to differ from another?
A49244Did not be that made me in the womb, make him, and did not be fashion us in the womb?
A49244For the first Query, why the grave is compared to an house?
A49244He will look on the poor, weak, trembling soule, and shall we look off from such with pride and disdain, and set such at our footstoole?
A49244How carefull should we then be to examine and prove our selves whether we are in a state of true grace?
A49244How doth it appear that temptations so urgent, so continued, and so suited, may be consistent with strong grace?
A49244How douth it appear that some of Gods people are but weak in grace?
A49244How many are there in the world, who have lost their affection and desires after God, which they had in their youth?
A49244How many have been at first in Davids frame of heart, I was glad when they said to me, come let us go into the house of the Lord?
A49244How many years have you been in the school of Christ, and yet what little proportionable progresse have you made in the knowledge of Jesus Christ?
A49244How may I then know, that I have both the truth and strength of grace in me, though I am overpowered sometimes by strong and prevailing corruptions?
A49244How soon was the minde of that rich and forward young man changed, mentioned in the Gospel?
A49244How were the mouths of Gods enemies opened to blaspheme his name?
A49244How, and why such strong temptations may be consistent with strong grace?
A49244I will work, and who can let it?
A49244In what Cases may a strong Christian want strong affections?
A49244In what Cases may a strong Christian want strong affections?
A49244In what cases, and with what limitations may strength of corruptions consist with strength of grace?
A49244In what cases, and with what limitations may strength of corruptions consist with strength of grace?
A49244Is it not a demonstration of great power, to keep a small sparke of fire that it shall not be quenched in a flood of water?
A49244Is my peace made with God?
A49244Is my person justified?
A49244Job a holy man, yet with what strong temptations was he assaulted?
A49244Men of eminent gifts, when they shall apostatize, how doe they draw others in abundance?
A49244Now shall men be unbounden after their desires for outward things, and shall they sit down and say they have enough for heavenly things?
A49244Now shall the divel be strong and armed, and shal we be content to be unarmed and weak Christians?
A49244Now, A further question is, Why is he called Paul''s Son?
A49244Oh consider, you that have most grace, what would become of you were it not for free grace?
A49244Oh grave where is thy victory?
A49244Perhaps thou canst not repent, but dost thou desire to repent, and dost thou labour to repent?
A49244Perhaps thou dost not believe,( as thou fearest) but dost thou desire to believe?
A49244Peter being asked by Christ, Simon, l ● v ● st thou me more then these?
A49244Qu ● ● re, How Timothy could be Pauls son, for his father was a Greek, but Paul was a Jew of the Tribe of Benjamin?
A49244Shall the groom of the stable boast of his masters horses?
A49244Shall worldlings set no bounds to their desires after wealth and land, and yet wilt thou take up with poore measures of grace for Religion?
A49244So Job reckoneth, When I lye down, I say, when shall I rise, and the night be gone?
A49244So the Psalmist was under great discomfort, when he cried, Will the Lord cast me off for ever?
A49244That strong Christians may be but weak in comfort?
A49244The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, but doth the Spirit lust against the flesh?
A49244The ordinary answer of ignorant people is, What?
A49244The second Query is this, what kinde of house is the grave?
A49244There is not a just man on earth that doth good, and sinneth not,( saith Solomon) Who can say, I have made my heart clean?
A49244They were wo nt to say, can any good come 〈 ◊ 〉 of Nazareth?
A49244Thus God complaines of his people, What hath my beloved to doe in my house?
A49244Thus did David, when by reason of the discomfort of this soul, he cried out, Why art thou cast down, O my soul, and why art thou disquieted in me?
A49244To know practically of your dying, consider before hand, how shall I do to launch into the eternal gulfe?
A49244VVhat are the notes the Scripture layes down of strong and grown Christians?
A49244VVhether a man that hath strength of grace, may want the comfort of his grace?
A49244Wben temptations may be said to be strong?
A49244What are those great corruptions and sins unto which strong believers are incident?
A49244What do ye more then others?
A49244What strong corruptions are they that those that are strong in grace, are most subject unto?
A49244When Phigellus and Hermogenes turned away from the faith how did all Asia turn aside also?
A49244When a man may be said to lose his first affections?
A49244When may a Christian be said to lose his first affections?
A49244When may corruptions and lusts be said to be strong in the soule?
A49244When may corruptions be said to be strong?
A49244When temptations may be said to be strong?
A49244Whence it is that those that have strength of grace, may yet want those strong affections which they had at their first conversion?
A49244Whence it is that those that have strong grace may want such strong affections as they had at their first Conversion?
A49244Whether a man may be said to have strength of grace, who hath but weak gifts?
A49244Whether a man may be strong in grace, and and yet want those strong affections which he had at his first conversion?
A49244Whether a man may have strength of grace, and yet want the comfort of his grace?
A49244Whether strength of grace may consist with the want of those strong affections, which Christians have had at their first conversion?
A49244Whether strong corruptions may consist with the strength of grace?
A49244Whether strong temptations may be consistent with strength of grace?
A49244Whether strong temptations may be consistent with strong grace?
A49244Who shall let?
A49244Why doth God cherish the least measures of grace in his people?
A49244Why have those that have the strongest graces, many times also the strongest corruptions?
A49244Why should believers not rest satisfied with the first beginnings of grace, but labour to be grown and strong Christians?
A49244Why those that have strong grace, have many times strong corruptions?
A49244and the Stage- player of his borrowed robes?
A49244and to be baptized with the Baptism wherewith I am baptized withall?
A49244and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?
A49244are there not many that have and do expresse lesse desire after duty, lesse fervency, lesse frequency, lesse delight in holy duties then formerly?
A49244doth his promise faile for evermore?
A49244hath God forgotten to be gracious?
A49244hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?
A49244how easily is the poor spark of grace trod out by the foat of pride?
A49244is his mercy clean gone for ever?
A49244must we be wiser then our forefathers?
A49244now if thou didst receive it, why didst thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?
A49244shall the mud wall be proud that the Sun- shines upon it?
A49244such fulnesse of grace in Christ, and so little grace in my heart?
A49244though you can not fully subdue sin, yet do you strongly oppose it?
A49244what ado to be greatly angry, and not greatly sinful?
A49244what shall become of me in another world, when I leave this?
A49244who made thee to differ?
A49244— Doth our law judge any man before it hear him, and know what he doth?
A49244— How fair is my love, my sister, saith Christ to the Spouse?
A49244— Oh ye of little faith( saith Christ) Why do you thus reason?
A027461, 2. and what followes after in the third verse?
A0274618?
A0274619. was it not the loue of riches?
A0274632. was heere any violence, or compulsion offered vnto Dauids will?
A0274647?
A027466. Who will shew vs any good?
A02746Againe, is grace the most excellent thing we can attaine vnto?
A02746All sinnes done away through his free grace?
A02746And are the feet of those that bring glad tidings of saluation more& more beautifull in thine eyes?
A02746And doe not we finde in Scripture, promises made to particular persons generally applyed, and likewise generall promises particularly applyed?
A02746And will not God perfect the worke of his owne hands?
A02746And yet how hardly can this be beaten into an ignorant head?
A02746Are all these( thinke you) arguments strong enough to proue the truth of grace wrought in the heart of such a person?
A02746Are the eyes of your vnderstanding enlightned with sauing knowledge?
A02746Are thy failings matter of daily humiliation vnto thy soule?
A02746Art thou one whose heart likes well of sinne, though thou canst not, or darest not commit it?
A02746But doe not the best of Gods children sometimes halt in their obedience?
A02746But may not a gracelesse& wicked heart find sweetnesse in Gods ordinances?
A02746Can a man take fire into his bosome,& not burne?
A02746Could Dauid, without the presence and assistance of the Spirit, haue beene thus earnest with the Lord in prayer?
A02746Did not Ahab humble himselfe at the hearing of threatnings, as well as Hezekiah?
A02746Did not Cain offer sacrifice as well as Abel?
A02746Did not Iehu bestir himselfe in fulfilling the commandements of God?

A02746Doest thou delight in the Law of God, concerning the inner man?
A02746Doest thou taste more and more sweetnesse in the Word?
A02746Dost thou find the throat of thy corruption cut in thee, and thy sins bleeding to death, and gasping in thee?
A02746Dost thou find thy heart, by beleeuing, knit vnto God through Christ, louing him, and fearing him for his owne sake, as well as for his Christs sake?
A02746Dost thou not know that a little leauen will sowre the whole lumpe?
A02746Dost thou receiue more& more comfort by the Sacramēt?

A02746Examine thy heart therefore in this particular, what mooues thee to forbeare thy sin?
A02746For as euery creature in nature hath a facultie to produce its kinde:( Doe men gather grapes of thornes, or figges of thistles?
A02746For doth not the whole consist of particular members?
A02746God is not as man, that he should die, neither as the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said it, and shall he not doe it?
A02746Hath he bestowed his loue vpō thee?
A02746Hath he giuen thee of his grace?
A02746Hath he not said, My grace shall be sufficient for thee?
A02746Hath not experience taught vs thus much?
A02746Hath thy knowledge manifested any such vertue, and power in thee?
A02746Heere a question will fall in very fit to be answered, and that is, whether euery one that beleeueth can tell when or how faith was wrought in him?
A02746How could this bee?
A02746How few poore soules haue beene brought home to Christ, by the great knowledge of many who haue a great name and fame of learning and profoundnesse?
A02746How many be there who place all happinesse in these outward things, riches, honours, pleasures,& c?
A02746How many poore soules neuer had any one thought tending that way?
A02746How many thousands be there which come short of these things before- named?
A02746How many thousands in this our English Israel perish for want of vision, the meanes of grace?
A02746How much then doth it stand vs vpon, how neerely doth it concerne vs, to search and trie whether our coine be currant, or counterfeit?
A02746How quickly did Peter fal, being left vnto himselfe?
A02746How should this knit our hearts vnto the Lord?
A02746How should this tye vs vnto the Lord, and knit our hearts vnto him, who hath so abounded in loue vnto vs, and that so freely, so vndeseruedly?
A02746How so?
A02746How then is the taste of the godly distinguished frō the taste of the wicked?
A02746How then may wee bee assured, that our knowledge is sanctified& sauing?
A02746How then may wee distinguish the faith of Gods children, from the presumption of vnbeleeuers?
A02746How vn- vtterable is his goodnesse?
A02746How vvas Dauids heart broken after his fall?
A02746I see how wretched and miserable I am wanting grace: Oh what shall I doe, that I may obtaine grace?
A02746I will doe it, and who shal let?
A02746If God grace thee, what though all the world should cast the dung of reproch in thy face to disgrace thee?
A02746If God respect, or reward any seruice of ours, what doth hee but crowne his owne gifts?
A02746If sins be forgiuen, God must doe it: for this is a prerogatiue royal proper to the Lord, Who can forgiue sins but God onely?
A02746Is his grace sufficient only for Paul, or some few other specially beloued, indowed with supereminent graces?
A02746Is it a transforming knowledge moulding thee to the Word?
A02746Is it possible that vanity, and vexation of spirit, should giue content to the heart of man?
A02746Is it practicall, or is it meerely theorical?
A02746Is it so, as hath beene proued, that grace is the best thing wee can partake of?
A02746Is it so, that sanctified knowledge is a sure euidēce of true grace?
A02746Is it such a knowledge as vents it selfe continually for the glory of God, and the good of others?
A02746Is prayer more and more delightful to thy soule?
A02746Is thy heart set against euery euil way, and thy soule delighted in the practice of that which is good?
A02746Is thy knowledge rightly qualified?
A02746Nature teacheth a man, to loue those that preserue our bodily liues, or rescued vs in extreme danger; and shall not grace doe this much more?
A02746No man can beleeue in Christ without the knowledge of him; For how shall they beleeue in him, of whom they haue not heard?
A02746Now how will thy knowledge doe good to others, if it doth thy selfe none?
A02746O how much doth he thinke himselfe bound vnto God, for sparing and not confounding him?
A02746Oh what wouldest thou not then giue for one dram of grace?
A02746Or to walke in a tracke of ciuility, and to neglect, if not abandon the way of pietie?
A02746Or was Dauids will moued vnwillingly, when hee intreated the Lord to knit his heart vnto him, that he might feare his Name?
A02746So that as they haue iust cause to crie out with S. Paul, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the body of this death?
A02746Therfore, if at any time thou feelest( as which of Gods childrē feel not?)
A02746To be strict in the duties of Religion,& loose in the workes of morality,& outward righteousnesse?
A02746To frequent the assembly of Saints, and to fashion himselfe to the world?
A02746True, say the Papists: But how?
A02746Was not Simon Magus baptized?
A02746What auailes it a man to bee a Saint abroad, and a deuill at home?
A02746What goodnesse can possibly be where Gods Spirit is not?
A02746What haue I to doe any more with Idols?
A02746What haue I to doe any more with Idols?
A02746What made Dauid so much to long after Gods Sāctuary?
A02746What parted Christ,& that hopeful young man in the Gospell?
A02746What shall I doe?
A02746What though grace once seazing vpō the soule, can not be wholly separated from it?
A02746What though his wicked instruments doe combine and bandie themselues against thee, seeking to spoile thee of all outward and inward comfort?
A02746What though the Deuill swell& rage against thee?
A02746What though thou beest plunged into a gulfe of sorrow through manifold afflictions which haue befallen thee?
A02746What though thy neerest and dearest friends doe now turne away their faces from thee, yea, hate and abhorre thee as an out- cast& alien?
A02746What will become of all cruell soule- murtherers in the day of the Lord?
A02746What will it profit a man to gaine the whole world, and lose his soule?
A02746What wilt thou render vnto the Lord for his vnspeakable grace?
A02746What, all debts forgiuen?
A02746What, doest thou hope to finde it through thy seruice, thy prayers, thy good meaning, or good works?
A02746What, doest thou thinke thou are vncapable of grace, because thou art vnworthy of it?
A02746What, no accusation in that black and terrible day lyable against thee?
A02746Whence arise these fruits, but frō that seed of grace sowne in thy soule?
A02746Wherefore doe you spend money for that which is not bread?
A02746Wherein then lyeth the difference?
A02746Who so confident, who so full of faith( if you will beleeue them) as many vile wretches and gracelesse persons?
A02746Whom haue I in heauen but thee?
A02746Why do men toile and moile in the world early and late, thorow thicke and thin, but to satisfie their minds in these outward riches?
A02746Why should any question the Author, when it beares Saint Pauls Ensigne, and marke, though not his name?
A02746Will God haue vs to take care of Oxen and Asses, and not( much more) to regard the soules of our brethren?
A02746Would they bee rich?
A02746Would they leaue possessions behinde them to their posterity?
A02746Would you know what is meant by power?
A02746all reckonings cleered, and made euen betwixt the Lord, and thee, without any satisfaction made on thy part?
A02746and hath he spoken, and shall he not accomplish it?
A02746and labour for that which satisfieth not?
A02746are their wills manacled and fettered?
A02746how carefull is he of sure footing, lest hee fall?
A02746liue amongst, or delight to be with the wicked, and not be vngodly?
A02746not so much as once dreame of the necessitie of grace, and therfore trouble not themselues about it?
A02746or is it a wrong vnto them, that they can doe no other?
A02746then Gods grace is bestowed vpon vs. How should this fill our hearts and tongues with the praises of the Lord?
A02746what is the ground of that diuorce vvhich seemes to be betwixt thee and thine old louer?
A02746what roaring?
A02746what wringing of hands, and breaking of hearts?
A70256( For what can men in darkness see?)
A70256All this Glory, all this Joy, an Heart full, and a Heaven full, and to Eternity also, and that for so few imperfect services?
A70256And are not you living?
A70256And doth not Grace teach them to propagate the Truth, and true Religion?
A70256And doth not Hezekiah look upon this as one of the great works to be attended in this World, without which it is not worth while to live?
A70256And had he not done well?
A70256And have we sympathized with our Brethren in their sufferings?
A70256And how often also do the Saints in Scripture reprove the wicked and ungodly?
A70256And is it enough that you provide Meat, and Drink, and Apparel, Portions, and Trades, aud ways of livelihood for them?
A70256And is it not exprest as a duty, and a great one too?
A70256And is not this also a most blessed service?
A70256And is not your day also far spent?
A70256And must I be on the receiving hand as to all this Glory for ever and for ever?
A70256And though we can not expect to entertain them as they did, yet,( if we could) what is that to the entertainment of Christ himself?
A70256And to these Gates you must come at last, and pass through them also to the highest Tribunal, to answer to this Question, What hast thou done?
A70256And what are all the sufferings of this present time, in comparison with the glory which shall be revealed in us?
A70256And what is the reason, that many are so ignorant this day, but because they wanted Family- instruction from Parents and Masters?
A70256And what saith Solomon?
A70256And what says John of that?
A70256And what?
A70256And where is singularity of life to be seen?
A70256And who knows what God hath appointed for him this way?
A70256Are you not alive?
A70256But have we been sufferers in affection?
A70256But how can it be, that the Evening should be so dark, and yet that at Evening- time it should be light?
A70256But how?
A70256But if it be thus; why have some of the Saints mentioned in Scripture desired to dye?
A70256But is it not lawful then in any case, to desire to dye?
A70256But shall this Evening then determine this Day, so that the Conversion of the Jews shall become another Day?
A70256But still, what have you done, if you were now as near the gates of the grave, as here he was?
A70256But then, do not the Saints, when they are dead praise the Lord?
A70256But what are those services that may be done here, which can not be done in Heaven, that so we may see the Point in Instances?
A70256But what followeth?
A70256But what is the Light, and what the Darkness?
A70256But wherein shall this Light consist?
A70256But why then is it called a Day in the same Verse?
A70256Come; how long?
A70256Do you know the price of your own souls, and not of theirs too?
A70256Doth not Hezekiah here say, The Father to the Children shall make known thy Truth?
A70256Doth not Nature teach Men to propagate their kind?
A70256First then, What is this Evening?
A70256For Hope( that is, the thing hoped for) that is seen, is not Hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
A70256For do you think it enough, that you breed them up to live in this world?
A70256For have not our hearts sometimes checked us, upon reviews of the loss of our opportunities to do such or such a good work?
A70256For he that had but one Talent, doth not say, Lord, I had but one, and what can a Man do with one?
A70256For what great mistakes have there been, about the time of Antichrist''s ruine, and the calling of the Jews?
A70256For you have lived lon, and perhaps are now grown old, but have you been old Traders?
A70256For, what do they think when they are entring into the joy of their Lord?
A70256Have we been prepared for the Cross?
A70256How few are they who have a just valuation of these living mercies, or that duly lay to heart the loss of them?
A70256How few, that profess the fear of God this day, are writing of Copies for posterity to walk by?
A70256How many Churches did he usually pray for?
A70256How often do the Saints under the Old Testament, pray for the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus under the New?
A70256How should such, as these walk before others, so as to answer the Character of Elders?
A70256I have laid several particulars before you, concerning the service of this life;& have you not been wanting in many of them?
A70256If a Man dye, shall he live again?
A70256In a word, to propagate pure Religion,& undefiled, to the generations to come, is not this glorious work?
A70256In the mean- while, where is your Religion?
A70256Is not suffering for Christ, glorious work?
A70256Is your capacity than such, that you can not praise the Lord?
A70256It seems, that Nicodemus was an old Man when he came to Christ by night; For, saith he, Can a Man be born when he is old?
A70256Now God will use means to bring this to pass, and what are those means?
A70256Now would not this be most miserable?
A70256Oh, remember the care of good Manoah, when the Angel told him, he should have a son; But, saith he, How shall we order the Child?
A70256Or, are not theirs as precious as yours?
A70256Or, have we not been among the fearful?
A70256Or, is it all one to you where you spend your Eternity, and whether you go to Heaven or Hell?
A70256Or, that you give them civil Education, and teach them how to carry themselves as men?
A70256Or, what care have you, that Godliness may flourish in the next generation, who take not the course that it may thrive in your own Family?
A70256Praise ye the Lord; who?
A70256Remember them; How?
A70256Secondly, What shall we say to such as have lived to no purpose at all?
A70256Secondly; What is that Light, that shall shine so gloriously at the Evening- time, especially at the end of it?
A70256Shall thy loving kindness be declared in the Grave?
A70256Shall thy wonders be known in the dark?
A70256To do good, and to communicate both to the bodily and spiritual necessities of Saints and others, is not this glorious work?
A70256We must appear for Christ, his Truth, his Rules, and Glory; or where is our love to him?
A70256Were this throughly weighed, how would Holiness be promoted, Saints thrive, Families flourish, Churches revive?
A70256What a Catalogue then had Paul of Churches and Saints to recommend to God in his daily prayers?
A70256What a deal of good had Hezekiah done, before he fell into this sickness?
A70256What cause have we to bless God that we see the Truth and Gospel going on conquering and to conquer all Errour and Opposition?
A70256What great things have been, and still are done by prayers?
A70256What hath been here said answereth that Challenge of the Papists; Where was your Church before the Dayes of Luther?
A70256What saith the Apostle?
A70256What then, if God should now lay you( as he did Hezekiah) upon your sick Bed, and threaten to cut off the Thrum of your lives?
A70256Where now was the Light?
A70256Where your Conscience as to your Covenant?
A70256Why?
A70256Why?
A70256Why?
A70256Why?
A70256Why?
A70256Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead?
A70256Would you not with him turn your faces to the wall, and weep sore?
A70256Yea, how many are there among the Professors of the Gospel, by whose failings we may learn more than by their Vertues?
A70256Yes, as to a worldly account: Yea, but there is another, and a better Trade,& what have you done therein?
A70256You have gained thus much in the world, he will say, but what redounds to my share of all that you have done?
A70256and are not the shadows of the evening stretched out?
A70256and have we accounted them happy that have endured, yea, and their sufferings honourable for the sake, and in the quarrel of such a Lord and Master?
A70256and shall the dead arise and praise thee?
A70256and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
A70256and was it not time now to dye?
A70256and what a glorious report?
A70256and what have you said to them?
A70256and what shall we do do unto him?
A70256and where was the One Day in my Text?
A70256is not the exercise of Faith, Hope, and Patience, glorious work?
A70256is there charity in Hell?
A70256must we pray for Jesus Christ?
A70256or thy faithfulness in destruction?
A70256shall it declare thy Truth?
A70256shall the dust praise thee?
A70256was there no remedy, but God must kill him, and presently too, if the burthen of the people lay a little longer upon him?
A70256what a trade did Paul drive this way?
A70256what an edifying patern, and for the glory of God, and our Lord Jesus Christ?
A70256what have I omitted?
A70256what is that which they may thus leave behind them?
A70256what saith the Psalmist?
A70256what was the matter?
A70256what?
A70256where your love of God, and Godliness?
A70256who knows the errors of his life this way?
A70256who would not pray that he might live to do God service?
A70256will not a Child of God be satisfied without length of dayes?
A70256will you love their bodies, and neglect their souls?
A70256— But how have you taught those that are under your care?
A09274& c. And certainly;( had she not had Faith, before the spies came, who can thinke she would haue giuen entertainment to such dangerous persons?
A09274( Hee is neere that iustifieth me, who will contend with me?)
A09274( If we be not iustified by the workes of the Law, by what then?
A09274( Is the Law then against the promises of God?
A092743. to proue that a sinner destitute of grace can not be made inherently holy, by Morality, or outward workes of Piety?
A0927432 How knowes Bellarm ● ne that?
A092745 What sinne is there against the Gospell, that is not a transgression of the Law?
A09274Againe doth Charitie giue life or liuing actions vnto Faith as the Soule doth vnto the Body?
A09274Against what?
A09274And againe, Lay b downe now, put me in a surety with thee, who is he that will strike hands with me?
A09274And how proued they this?
A09274And if he were not, who is?
A09274And is not Feare of GOD too?
A09274And why?
A09274Are not the Regenerate vnder the Law, that is vnder the Obedience of the Law?
A09274Are other Mens worke without all faults because we know not what they be?
A09274Are they sure they can also satisfie the paines of Pu ● gatorie?
A09274Are they sure they shall passe for satisfactions presently?
A09274Are we?
A09274Be veniall sinnes, sinnes?
A09274Because wee must be syncere without hypocrisie, ergo, we must be perfect in all things without blame?
A09274But can they tell certainly when he doth?
A09274But can they tell how many yeares or daies are left vnsatisfied for; that so all things may be fitted according to the Race of time?
A09274But can they tell vs the i ● st asure of that Contrition which is satisfactorie?
A09274But how hnow they, they be sinnes?
A09274But how know they that?
A09274But is he sure he enioynes iust so much as will doe the Feate?
A09274But now is this imperfection in Humane or Angelicall righteousnes any Euill and Sinne in them?
A09274But now what followes hence?
A09274But now; wherein stands the inward vocation of a sinner?
A09274But was it not fulfilled before that time?
A09274But what is it now which committed this guilt or sinne?
A09274But what is this Yoake of Bondage?
A09274But what reason is there for this, that Circumcision& the Ceremonies should frustrate the benefit of Christs death?
A09274But what''s next?
A09274But what?
A09274But when is this?
A09274But where is it so taken?
A09274But wilt thou know O a vaine Man( or hypocrite) that Faith without workes is dead?
A09274But, might he say, what?
A09274By the Law of workes, that is, by the Law performed by the strength of Nature?
A09274By what Law then?
A09274Can Bellarmine tell vs how much this was?
A09274Can a man that''s regenerate be iustified by his obedience of the Law, when yet after his regeneration hee doth not keepe it?
A09274Can that Faith saue him?
A09274Can there be any other meaning of Iustification here ●: but this onely?
A09274Christ, or wee?
A09274Darest thou indeed stand to it, and vpon these Tearmes appeare in Gods Iudgment?
A09274Did God intend in those Commandements to forbid those actions of stealing and lying?
A09274Did Paul then fulfill the Law?
A09274Doth God the Law- giuer?
A09274For 1. what is that to Iustification?
A09274For do you not beleeue him that he spake true?
A09274For may not good Workes be counterfeited as well as Faith?
A09274For satisfaction say they, To what?
A09274For that the Iesuites conceiue that this is a plaine case: for where is there any one place in all the Bible, that saith, Faith alone Iustifies?
A09274For that which deserues a reward worthily, deserues it fitly:( how else is it worthy of the reward, if the reward be not fit for it?)
A09274For this interrogatiues Was not our Father Abraham justified by workes?
A09274For what hath Christ satisfied?
A09274For what is it for one baptised to desire to receaue that Sacrament againe?
A09274For what now?
A09274For what saith the Scripture?
A09274For what then?
A09274For wherefore must it be suffered?
A09274For who is judge of their actions?
A09274For who will set himselfe( say they) to doe any good worke if the Protestants doctrine be true, that in doing of it he shall commit a mortall Sinne?
A09274For whom doth he offend, or who can challenge him of Sinne?
A09274For why?
A09274From the Habit of Faith, or of Charity?
A09274Hath he done this, or no?
A09274He asketh vs where is the Sinne?
A09274Hovv is it then not giuen?
A09274How comes it to passe then, that the godliest men are many times secure, slothfull, cold and carelesse in the duties of Gods most holy worship?
A09274How doth hee account them Iust, whom he knoweth and punisheth for vniust?
A09274How is that proued?
A09274How is that proued?
A09274How know these men that there was, or is, such a power in the Saints to keepe the Law, when yet the world neuer saw it brought into Act?
A09274How know they that?
A09274How knowes the Pope when he hath bestowed vpon them sufficient supererogatiue Money to pay the Fees of the Prison?
A09274How much lesse shall I answere him( saith he)& chuse out my words to reason with him?
A09274How must this bee vnderstood?
A09274How proues he, that he was so justified?
A09274How should man be iust with God?
A09274How then doth Charity giue life vnto Faith?
A09274How was it then fulfilled at the oblation of Isaack?
A09274How?
A09274If God punish that sinne which is in the Regenerate how then is their sinne couered and their iniquities forgiuen?
A09274If Men can not bee iustified by keeping the Law, to what end was it giuen so long after the Promise was made?
A09274If for Christs righteousnes we be perfectly iustified: how can God accoūt vs perfectly iust for our faith?
A09274If it be euill to breake any Commandement in act: is it not euill to haue, a pronenesse and readinesse of minde to breake it?
A09274If it be his gift, how doth it merit, or of whom?
A09274If the Gospel cōmand Charity, is it any other then that which the Law commands: If the Gospell cōmand Faith, doth not the Law enioine the same?
A09274If thou, Lord shouldest marke iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
A09274If when all is doen we must be saued by doing, what profit comes there by beleeuing?
A09274In all the Catalogue of the Saints, can you pricke out one that after regeneration, neuer committed sinne against the Law?
A09274In the Apostles will?
A09274Is God offended with them?
A09274Is he certaine that God will take that for paiment, which he decrees to be paied?
A09274Is it a Match presently, that God must doe as thou desirest: and take what thou offerest for paiment?
A09274Is it alwaies?
A09274Is it for the fault and offence committed?
A09274Is it not giuen( quoad directionem) as a Rule prescribing what is to be done, what is not to be done?
A09274Is it not more probable that what neuer was nor will be done, neuer could nor can be done?
A09274Is it onely the obseruation of the Ceremoniall Law?
A09274Is not this a shamelesse Iesuite that will say any thing to patch vp a broken cause?
A09274Is not this a superfine Inuention?
A09274Is not this difference between these Apostles finely accorded think you?
A09274Is the Law then against the Promises?
A09274Is the poore man''s backe euer the warmer?
A09274It is God that iustifies; who shall condemne?
A09274It is dead: How must this be vnderstood?
A09274Likewise was not Rahab the Harlot iustified by workes?
A09274Lord thou art angry for we haue sinned Euen we by our sinnes haue hastened and increased the publique miseries?
A09274Nay, are they without fault, because themselues know not whether there be any in them: or no?
A09274No?
A09274Now in reason wherein ariseth this proportion of any work with that reward?
A09274Now what say our Aduersaries to this?
A09274Or doth S. Michael that hold''s, the Scales send him word, when their satisfactions weigh downe their Sinnes?
A09274Or ours?
A09274Or will it bee a truth from any mans tongue, to say, that he loues God with as great perfection as may be?
A09274Seest thou how faith wrought with his workes, and by workes was faith made perfect?
A09274Shall we finde this perfection in a Monkes Cell, or in a Hermits Lodge, an Anachorites Mue, vnder a Cardinals Hat, or in the Popes Chaire?

A67743Or must the name of a Puritan, dishearten us from the service of God?
A67743Or shall he not depart Sodom, because the whole City thinkes it better to stay there still?
A67743Or what is this but want of discretion?
A67743Q WHat Uses may this serve for, which hath been spoken touching the properties of this enmity, and our Saviours suffering?
A67743Q WHat are the Causes, why wicked and ungodly men thus hate, and persecute the religious?
A67743See this in Abrahams example, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?
A67743Shall Noah leave building the Arke, and so himselfe, and his whole houshould perish, because all the World else thinkes him haire- brained?
A67743Shall the powder thinke to blow up the house, and scape it selfe from burning?
A67743That have a Library of Divinity in their heads, and not so much as the least Catechisme in their consciences?
A67743The Apostle saith, If God be on our side, who can be against us?
A67743The Corinthians exceedingly slighted Paul, he was this and he was that; But what saith Pa ● l?
A67743True these enemies to holines spare not to cast asper ● ● ions on us, else how should they worke their wills?
A67743WHat are their Verball properties?
A67743WHat instruction from the premisses?
A67743WHat is promised shall be the issue, or effect of it; and who shall get the victory?
A67743WHat is the original ground of the worlds hatred?
A67743WHat is the second Cause, why ungodly men hate and persecute the religious?
A67743WHat is the third cause, why ungodly men hate and persecute the Religious?
A67743WHat is their manner of venting this Enmity?
A67743WHerein consists their unlikenesse and contrariety?
A67743We are bound to praise GOD above any Nation whatsoever,( for what Nation under Heaven in ● oyes so much light, or so many blessings as we?)
A67743What Devill will so affirme?
A67743What God can deliver out of my hand?
A67743What a prodigy is this?
A67743What can hee not perswade them to?
A67743What doth he that curseth the Saints and deare children of God?
A67743What honour of Christ is there among us, wher Religion makes one contemptible?
A67743What instruction affords this?
A67743What is it to him if the superstition, and blindnesse of Popery did over- shadow the Land?
A67743What is meant by the woman and her seed?
A67743What may bee gathered from these tearmes thus explicated?
A67743What occasioned the Lord to proclaime this enmity?
A67743What saith one?
A67743What saith the Scripture?
A67743What say they?
A67743What should I say?
A67743What was it but Iosephs goodnesse, that brought him to the stockes and Irons?
A67743What was the finall cause or end why God proclaimed it?
A67743What was their delinquencie?
A67743What way wee gleane from hence?
A67743What will you be singular?
A67743Wherefore slew Caine his brother, saith Saint Iohn, but because his own Workes were evill, and his brothers good?
A67743Who could have lesse deserved those curses, those aspersions, those stones, then David?
A67743Who helped to burne Bradford?
A67743Who is God?
A67743Who made Serena the Empresse, a Martyr for her faith in Christ?
A67743Who scoffed at righteous Noah, but his owne son Cham?
A67743Who was the Author and proclamor of it?
A67743Why did Esau hate Iacob, and purpose to kill him, but because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him?
A67743Why not unto death?
A67743Why was Ioseph accused of his Mistris for an adulterer, and thereupon committed to prison, but because hee would not bee an Adulterer like her?
A67743Yea, and thinke they doe as good service in it, as Secretaries, and Espialls of Princes, do to the State, when they bring in bills of intelligence?
A67743Yea, have you not strange conceits, and base thoughts of the best men?
A67743Yea, if the feare of the Lord, as Solomon speakes, is the beginning of wisdome, how should they have wisdome, that have not the feare of the Lord?
A67743Yea, who was his greatest enemy but his greatest friend, even one of his houshold- Chaplains?
A67743Yes: for how is a vicious person discredited, and made contemptible, by the vertuous life of an holy man?
A67743Yet the world traduced him for a Samaritan, a Blasphemer, a Sorcerer, a wine- bibber, an enemy to Caesar, and what not?
A67743and also bring forth the fruits of it in your lif and conversation?
A67743and for sins of omissions,& c?
A67743and made them resolve against goodness?
A67743and religion foolishnesse with Michal?
A67743and see that all under you doe the same?
A67743and staggered others, that have made some progresse in holinesse?
A67743and thinke the worse of a man, for having of a tender conscience?
A67743and what instructions afford they?
A67743and with the understanding also?
A67743but because he followed the things which were good and pleasing unto God and in him part his trust?
A67743but because he should bee more exalted?
A67743doe you declare your faith by your workes?
A67743doe you feare an oath?
A67743doe you not deeply censure,& condemne the generation of the just?
A67743doe you not envy, hate, scoffe at, nick- name, raile on and slander the people of God; and mis- consture their actions and intentions?
A67743doe you not with Festus, account zeale madnesse?
A67743doe you pray by the power of the spirit?
A67743doe you receive the word with good and honest hearts?
A67743doe you sanctifie his Sabbaths?
A67743for the evill which cleaves to your very best actions?
A67743grieve for your unprofitablenesse under the meanes of grace?
A67743hate a lye,& c?
A67743instruct your children and servants, and teach them to feare the Lord?
A67743killed, but for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they maintained?

A67743love zeale, and devotion in others?
A67743make conscience of evill thoughts?
A67743or do you not?
A67743reade, conferre and meditate upon it?
A67743saith God, why?
A67743the which scriptures, if they bee true?
A67743they think themselves the worst of sinners?
A67743though hee thrust himselfe into their company?
A67743vaine, and unprofitable words?
A67743watch for their halting, and combine with others against them?
A67743what stuffe so pittifull, but hee can set a glosse upon it?
A67743who is not an open or secret enemy to holinesse?
A67743yea, have you not beaten off many from being religious by your scoffes and reproaches?
A092773. shall their unbeliefe make the Faith of God without effect?
A09277A Preacher they have not; and[ How should they beleeve in him of whom they have not heard, and how should they heare without a Preacher?]
A09277Againe for the Vnderstanding, how can it assent unto the Truth or dissent from the Falsehood of such things whereof it hath no apprehension at all?
A09277Againe, Exekiel was an eloquent man, and the Iewes tooke a pleasure to heare him, but where grace wanted what could his eloquence helpe?
A09277Againe, what singular preparation to Faith is it, that our naturall affections be well qualified in their motions about naturall and bodily things?
A09277Alying surmise much like that of the Serpent when hee tempted the Woman, Yea saith he, hath God indeed said so?
A09277And are they so?
A09277And are we certaine then wee have it?
A09277And is this sufficient to our regeneration?
A09277And then shall not that gift which abolishes our sinfull infirmities, bee justly called a Sanctifying grace?
A09277And what is this water?
A09277And what reason had Esay then to complaine of them for not doing that which they could not doe?
A09277And who knowes whether our diligence in doing something, may not be more beneficiall to us, than our sinning in many things may prove hurtfull?
A09277And why are not all learned Divines sanctified also?
A09277And why could they not?
A09277But Satan replies, Are you sure that God spake true when hee said it?
A09277But are they so indeed?
A09277But how know you that those places are Scripture, and that that is the right meaning of those places?
A09277But how know you this reuelation of the Spirit to be true?
A09277But how know you this& the like places of Scriptures to be Gods Word?
A09277But may all this be done without the helpe of Supernaturall revelation?
A09277But now what is this effectuall power, according to the Arminians, and what doth it in all men?
A09277But seeing t is questionlesse true in many, wee may and must charitably suppose it in every one( for when we come to particular whom dare we exclude?)
A09277But shall his seede enjoy it?
A09277But was it the vertue of these words that heald him?
A09277But was this sufficient to convert them?
A09277But what if both should so sinne?
A09277But what if they be inferior?
A09277But what is this Drawing?
A09277But what is this Well Vsing of Naturall gifts?
A09277But what then, are they unknowne too?
A09277But what was the cause of that, was not the meanes sufficient?
A09277But whence then hath the word its effect?
A09277But where''s the seed it sel ● e that shall enjoy it?
A09277But wherefore was all this contention of Spirit, why this striving with utmost endeavour to bee thankefull?
A09277But wherein?
A09277But why is this Divine vertue the seed of our regeneration called Incorruptible seed?
A09277Can a man hate evill, who yet e loves not the Lord?
A09277Can a man thirst after righteousnesse and yet not be d blessed nor satisfied?
A09277Can any thing be more senselesse?
A09277Can he be humble that hath not the sanctifying Spirit, one g fruite whereof is meeknesse and humblenesse of minde?
A09277Can he that is in the flesh, and so an enemie to God, yet greve for displeasing of him?
A09277Can he truly desire the Spirit of regeneration, that is of the c world and can not receive the Spirit because it seeth him not neither knoweth him?
A09277Can hee have a full purpose of heart to i amend his life and cleave unto the Lord, whose heart is not yet touched with sanctifying Grace?
A09277Can hee love God that is f not borne of him?
A09277Can not this worke of Sanctification be wrought in them before Baptisme?
A09277Come to most men and aske them, Why doe you beliue the Scriptures, and these points of religion out of them?
A09277Doe they verily belieue that this is the word of God?
A09277Doe we finde an Holy feare to fall upon us when our sinnes are threatned?
A09277Finally, doe wee love the Word that hath begotten us, preferring that food of our soules before our appointed bodily food?
A09277For among so many hundred volumes written by the Ancients, how few or none almost shall we finde touching the matter of Religion?
A09277For aske a Roman Catholike, why doe you belieue the Pope can not erre?
A09277For aske the question, wherefore do you firmely belieue the Articles of the ● reed?
A09277For aske them, is not the inward disability of our soules to beleeve and convert a part of our corruption?
A09277For can hee that is dead in sinne bewaile his Spirituall death?
A09277For how can the Signe be denied unto them which have and enjoy the thing signified?
A09277For if he would have them come, why doth he not give them that inward worke of the Spirit, without which hee knowes they can not come?
A09277For if the Vnderstanding assent or dissent without understanding of whereto or from what, is not a non- ens the object of such an act?
A09277For let any man speake, Is it not as Honest a thing for wicked ang ● lls to beleeve what God saith, as it is for wicked men?
A09277For to what end is it?
A09277For what history of the Bible can be named that may not be plainly understood, I say not by a learned or godly, but even by any man?
A09277For why?
A09277Hadst thou not thought it?
A09277Hath the Word wrought in us an unfained hatred of that evill which we outwardly forsake, a sincere love of that good which outwardly wee practise?
A09277Have you seene how a tender infant in the apprehension of some danger approching runnes into the armes of his Parent for succour?
A09277Heare the Command, and that given to a dead man: But could these words doe any thing to raise him?
A09277How can that heart be a new heart, a contrite and broken heart sensible of sinne, which is not yet changed out of stone into flesh?
A09277How can yee that are evill speake good things?
A09277How doth Faith live by Charity?
A09277How know you that the Scriptures are Gods Word?
A09277How many prayers of the Saints doe wee finde they have made for knowledge, every where mentioned?
A09277How often is Faith and Knowledge coupled together?
A09277How shall wee know the word which the Lord hathnot spoken?
A09277How then doth the Holy Ghost reueale vnto vs the truth of Scriptures?
A09277How then was Christ described and crucified in the sight of these Galatians?
A09277How we come to see this Light?
A09277If Scriptures are plaine unto themselves, why did they not make them plaine unto others?
A09277If by it self, then why are not the Divels sanctified, who know more of Divinity than haply the learnedst man?
A09277If hee will it not seriously, why doth hee command them to doe that which hee knowes they can not, nay, we know he would not have them doe?
A09277If it doe take effect extraordinarily in some, how know they that?
A09277If it succeed ill, Contented Patience opposed to repining Thought; as, Why should not my Ministery be as effectuall as anothers is?
A09277If knowledge dare venter, what should ignorance doubt?
A09277If learning can not defend it selfe from common- vices, how should rudenesse and simplicity be safe?
A09277If not, wherein lies the dishonesty of that act in the angells, or wherein stands the honesty of that act in men?
A09277If one facultie can doe both, what reason is there to make two?
A09277If that were the cause, why doth hee not equally beleeve all, when Gods authority is the same in all?
A09277Is it by any proper worke of the Spirit distinct from the power of the Word?
A09277Is it from true love to God and Goodnesse, that he is content to be ruled in such things?
A09277Is it of the Law, or of the Gospell?
A09277Is it possible that the creature should bee thus ignorant of his Creators voice, thus presumptuous to censure him of rudenesse?
A09277Is it that knowledge of God and goodnesse whereto the Gentiles might come by the light of nature?
A09277Is it vanished?
A09277Is not the bestowing of them a fruit of his great mercy and love unto us?
A09277Is not this dissembling to say one thing and meane another, to will one thing in word, another in secret intent?
A09277Is there in the Scriptures the least intimation of such a strange and uncouth meaning, when it tells that wee are justified by Faith?
A09277Is this so rare a priviledge of nature?
A09277It sufficeth that God onely command them, if they can not obey, whose fault is that but their owne?
A09277Lastly, If we be asked, How know you that this is the right meaning of such or such a place?
A09277Lord, Lord, have wee not by thy name prophesied,& c?
A09277Man indeed had strength and hath lost it, but how?
A09277May a true prayer be made without the helpe of the Holy h Ghost?
A09277Nay more, what difference can be made betweene Sathans temptations and all the sacred suggestions of Gods word?
A09277No, is it not evident to us that the Scriptures are of God?
A09277Now hee hath him shall hee live in Gods sight?
A09277Now if Infants thus justified and sanctified depart this life, what should stoppe their passage to heaven?
A09277Now what is the issue of such an ill grounded beliefe?
A09277Now what is this else but to trust him?
A09277Now whence is all this frowardnesse?
A09277Quo ● odo resoluating 〈 ◊ 〉 si ● e?
A09277So Christ appearing to Saul, accosts him with this expostulatorie salutation,[ Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou mee?]
A09277So Eliah to Elisha, What have I done unto thee?
A09277So should the Doctrine of Free- will in any kind whatsoeuer, fall to the ground: For how is the Will free, but because it may choose this or that?
A09277So that vnto such as aske, wherefore are the Mathematickes good?
A09277The Question is, How is it knowne certenly that the Scriptures are the very word of God?
A09277The Question then is this, Whether it be in mans power so to resist the grace of God, as finally to hinder his owne Conversion?
A09277The Scriptures are obscure, say they, but to whom trow yee?
A09277The truth of it: where in stands that?
A09277Their answere is, Because they bee the Word of God Yea but what perswades you to thinke so?
A09277They have no justifying faith?
A09277To the Question An Revelatio primae veritatis, ut sit formale objectum fidei, debeat esse obscura?
A09277To their learned Clergie and illuminated Doctors?
A09277To whom then?
A09277True, but what makes vs good trees?
A09277Vnde seis?
A09277Was it externall morall perswasion trow yee that hath made this wonderfull alteration?
A09277Well, but why doe you infallibly belieue that this is Gods word, and that this is the meaning of it?
A09277Well, is not then the infusion of an Ability to Beleeve and Convert, the doing away of that corruption?
A09277Well, what is this further or Greater grace?
A09277What Faith is it that is thus resolued, Theologicall or Humane?
A09277What can be done by a man after his Conversion, more than he can doe in these things before he be converted?
A09277What instance and example can bee given in so many ages of any one among these or other Gentiles, that hath been converted by this Sufficient grace?
A09277What is it then?
A09277What is now my duty?
A09277What is this Seed by which we are borne againe?
A09277What prophecy, the meaning whereof hath not, or will not be plainly found out?
A09277What saith is it then which is resolued into the Churches authority?
A09277What shall he doe then?
A09277What text of doctrine, whereof some have not or shall not understand the right meaning?
A09277What then must hee beleeve?
A09277What then should hinder why these Infants should not also be washed with the water of the Sacrament thereof?
A09277What then, Inward Calling there is none?
A09277What was that?
A09277What was the reason of that?
A09277What, Iustifying Faith?
A09277What, is it equall that he who transgresseth the Law in one point, should be held guilty of the breach of all the Commandements?
A09277When hee is in Ganaan, where bee now his great possessions?
A09277Whence then?
A09277Where then is any worke left for Grace?
A09277Whether God doe give unto all Christians grace sufficient to worke their conversion?
A09277Whether may the childe of such a one bee baptized?
A09277Whether the Gentiles out of the Church have grace given unto them sufficient for their conversion?
A09277Whether those upon whom such sufficient grace is bestowed, may if they list hinder their conversion by the power of their free- will?
A09277Who but Abraham would not here have quarrelled with God, and laid slacknesse, falshood, unjustice, and cruelty to his charge?
A09277Who sees not abroad in the world many wicked and ungodly wretches abounding in knowledge, and yet destitute of all true piety?
A09277Who would thinke himselfe wrongd that is thus blest, or imprisoned that is thus restrained?
A09277Why doe you belieue Purgatory?
A09277Why?
A09277Will there ever be a true Confession in the mouth when there is not Faith and Repentance in the heart?
A09277Yea but how know you infallibly they doe not erre in saying so?
A09277Yea but what are these actions?
A09277Yea, but how is all this done?
A09277Yea, but whence doth Faith fetch this argument?
A09277You know the doome; Take it away, why should it trouble the ground?
A09277[ And such were some of you: but yee are washed]: what''s that?
A09277[ Lord what wilt thou have mee to doe?]
A09277[ Thou beleevest that there is one God, thou doest well:][ the Divells also beleeve it:] and doe not they doe well too?
A09277againe when is this supernaturall knowledge bestowed on Pagans?
A09277and is it not so in the Divell, who as in knowledge he surpasseth the best of men, so in malice far exceeds the worst of all creatures?
A09277and what if they die before that age?
A09277and when t is once found out, may not all understand what one doth?
A09277are the Scriptures obscure, because some things are hard to be understood by the ignorant and unstable mindes?
A09277call we this a prerogative of Nature, and is it worth so much contention as hath beene made for it?
A09277have they it as soone as they come into the world?
A09277if so, t is Naturall: or is it given afterwards at yeares of discretion?
A09277if so, then t is not in Infants, and so not in all the Heathen, and at what yeares is it bestowed?
A09277is it in regard of it selfe, or in respect of the fruite?
A09277or it is some other supernaturall Revelation?
A09277our Iustification or our Sanctification?
A09277shall I beleeve, shall I obey, were I best doe this good worke, or shall I let it alone?
A09277to make it powerfull unto conversion in all to whom it is proposed?
A09277was it evident to the holy men of God to whom they were first inspired?
A09277what should hinder?
A09277whose fault is that but the Clergies?
A09277why so?
A09277yet aske them in their sorrowes and feares, can you beleeve in Christ, committing your soules unto him, depending only upon him and no other?
A3014114. Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings, and with devouring fire?
A301413. and again, Israel that followeth after the Law of righteousness, hath not attained to the Law of righteousness: wherefore?
A301415 Have they righteousness?
A30141Again, For you are not under the Law; what is meant by this word[ LAW?]
A30141Again, are the people of God to behave themselves to the glory of God the Father?
A30141Again, when Esau threatned to slay his Brother, Rebecca sent him away saying, Why should I be deprived of you both in one day?
A30141Alas, alis, how will such professors as these are, fall before the Judgment- seat of Christ?
A30141And canst thou find in thy heart to labour to lay more sins upon his back?
A30141And doth it not also make thee the more earnestly to groan after the Lord Jesus?
A30141And how if I should not?
A30141And how sayest thou?
A30141And shall I count any thing too dear for him?
A30141And such a ready heart in him to give it to me?
A30141And what was that?
A30141And when it is committed?
A30141And when thou wast thinking to do such a thing, at such a time, did not I say, forbear, do not so?
A30141And why dost thou pass such a sad sentence of condemnation upon us?
A30141Are they enemies to thee, saith God, I will be even with them?
A30141Art thou Unrighteous in thy self, Christ is made of God thy Righteousness?
A30141As to save me sinful, me rebellious, me desperate, me, what then?
A30141But God who is rich in grace, with his great love, wherewith he loved us( when?
A30141But God who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us — that he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace: But which way?
A30141But Secondly, To the second thing, which is this, How far may such a one go?
A30141But Thirdly, The third thing touched in the question, was this; What may such a one receive of God, who is under the Curse of the Law?
A30141But alas I have nothing to carry with me, how then should I go?
A30141But alas, I am blind and can not see, what shall I do now?
A30141But alas, though I should never sin that Sin, yet I have other sins enough to Damn me?
A30141But could not we have been saved if Christ had not died?
A30141But did he indeed suffer the torments of hell?
A30141But hath not the Law promises as well as threatnings?
A30141But how doth God kill with this Law or Covenant?
A30141But how should I do?
A30141But how should I know whether Christ do so knock at my heart, as to be desirous to come in?
A30141But how?
A30141But is not this the way to make Christ to loath us?
A30141But secondly, consider, thou sayest all my strength is gone, and therefore how should I wait?
A30141But though I do wait, yet if I be not elected to eternal Life, what good will all my waiting do me?
A30141But what do you mean John?
A30141But what do you mean by these words, the Gld Covenant, as the Old Covenant?
A30141But what ground hast thou for this thy hope?
A30141But what ground hast thou to think that thou art under that blessed Covenant?
A30141But what promises in the Scripture do you find your hope built upon?
A30141But why did Christ offer himself in sacrifice?
A30141But why did God let him dye?
A30141But why did he spill his precious blood?
A30141But why did he suffer the pains of Hell?
A30141But why then is his death so slighted by some?
A30141But you will say, then, why did God give the Law, if we can not have salvation by following of it?
A30141But you will say: But who are those that are thus under the Law?
A30141But( you will say its like) how should this be made manifest, and appear?
A30141But, I am afraid the day of Grace is past, and if it should be so, what should I do then?
A30141But, saith the Soul, how if after I have received a Pardon I should commit Treason again?
A30141Can it be a Mercy for me to be troubled with my Corruptions?
A30141Can it be a Priviledge for me to be annoyed with Infirmities, and to have my best Duties infected with it?
A30141Can not he transform himself thus into an Angel of light?
A30141Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots?
A30141Can''st thou read this and not feel this and not feel thy Conscience begin to throb and dagg?
A30141Canst thou hear of Christ, his bloody Sweat and Death, and not be taken with it, and not be grieved for it, and also converted by it?
A30141Canst thou hear that he suffered the pains, the fiery flames of Hell?
A30141Canst thou hear that the lead of thy sins did break the very heart of Christ, and spill his precious Blood?
A30141Canst thou hear this, and not have thy ears to tingle and burn on thy head?
A30141Canst thou now that readest or hearest these Lines, turn thy Back, and go on in thy Sins?
A30141Canst thou set so light of Heaven, of God, of Christ, and the Salvation of thy poor, yet precious Soul?
A30141Could he not have suffered without his so suffering?
A30141Didst thou ever burn any of thy Children in the Fire to Idols?
A30141Didst thou ever curse and swear, and deny Christ?
A30141Didst thou ever kill any Body?
A30141Didst thou ever use Enchantments and Conjuration?
A30141Do they slight thy groans, thy tears, thy blood thy death, thy resurrection and intercession, thy second coming again in heavenly glory?
A30141Do they slight thy merits?
A30141Do we through Faith, or preaching of the Gospel, make void the Law?
A30141Do you know what that wilful Sin is?
A30141Do you think that Ephraim would have looked after salvation, had not God first confounded him with the guilt of the sins of his youth?
A30141Doest thou find that there is but very little sanctifying Grace in thy Soul?
A30141Dost thou delight in them?
A30141Dost thou know what the unpardonable Sin( the Sin against the Holy Ghost) is?
A30141Dost thou see and find in thee Iniquity and Unrighteousness?
A30141Dost thou see in thee all manner of Wickedness?
A30141Dost thou see that thou art very much void of right Sanctification?
A30141Dost thou want Faith, then come for it to the Man Christ Jesus?
A30141Dost thou want Grace of any ● ort?
A30141Dost thou want Wisdom?
A30141Dost thou want a new Heart?
A30141Dost thou want strength against thy Lusts, against the Devils Temptations?
A30141Dost thou want strength to carry thee thorow afflictions of Body, and afflictions o ● Spirit, through Persecutions?
A30141Dost thou want the Spirit, then ask it of Jesus?
A30141Doth the Law command thee to do good, and nothing but good?
A30141Fifthly, dost thou at some time see some little Excellency in Christ?
A30141First, Consider, was it man that had offended?
A30141First, doth the Lord knock still at the door of thy Heart by his Word and Spirit?
A30141First, doth the Lord make thee sensible of thy miserable state, without an interest in Jesus Christ?
A30141First, is thy Heart hard?
A30141For Herod feared John( why?
A30141For know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?
A30141For the first, What this Covenant of Works is, and when it was given?
A30141Friend, if thou canst fit thy self, what need hast thou of Christ?
A30141God will smite thee, and punish thee for it, if thou doest do it?
A30141Hast thou been a Witch?
A30141Hast thou no Sins?
A30141Hath he overcome the Law, the Devil, and Hell?
A30141Hath his bleeding Wounds so much in them, as that the Fruits thereof should be the Salvation of my Soul?
A30141Have they faith?
A30141Have they hope?
A30141Have they pardon of sin?
A30141Have they strength to do the work of God in their generations?
A30141Have we comfort, or consolation?
A30141Have we the spirit, or the fruits thereof?
A30141Here is an argument of the Spirits own making, who can contradict it?
A30141How came they by their Faith?
A30141How can it possibly be?
A30141How can those that are accustomed to do evil, do that which is commanded in this particular?
A30141How canst thou deal so unkindly with such a sweet Lord Jesus?
A30141How did I deceive my self with giving of a little alms?
A30141How hast thou beguiled my poor soul?
A30141How hath my good words, good thinkings, good meanings( as the world calls them) deceived my ignorant soul?
A30141How if he had came, having taken a command from his Father to damn you, and to send you to the Devils in Hell?
A30141How many Oaths would it make you bite asunder?
A30141How much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask him?
A30141I but when?
A30141I doubt I do not come as I should do; my Heart is naught and dead; and alas, then how should I come?
A30141If he is, then how doth it appear?
A30141If one should ask thee what ground thou hast to think thou shalt be saved; wouldst thou not say?
A30141If the first come in and say, why am I judged?
A30141If they fall away to renew them again unto Repentance: And why so?
A30141If thou wast whole, thou hadst no need of the Physician; doest thou therefore see thy self in such a sad Condition as this?
A30141In a word, are they converted?
A30141Indeed I thought my self a wise man once, but I see my self a very fool now: O how ignorant am I of the Gospel now?
A30141Is he satisfied now in the behalf of sinners by this mans thus suffering?
A30141Is it not for a man to sin willingly after enlightning?
A30141Is not this grace?
A30141Is not this true as I have said?
A30141Is there so much store in Christ?
A30141Is thy Heart slothful and idle?
A30141Lastly, Is there such Mercy as this?
A30141Lord, shall I honour thee most by believing thou canst pardon my Sins, or by believing thou canst not?
A30141My hope is grounded upon the promises, what else should it be grounded upon?
A30141Nay further, Have not we taught in thy Name?
A30141Nay, God favoured his Son no more, finding our sins upon him, then he would have favoured any of us: For, should we have died?
A30141Now it crieth out, How many promises have I broken?
A30141O grave, where is thy victory?
A30141O how should a poor Soul do this?
A30141O how would it make you strive to stop at that 〈 ◊ 〉 that now you drink down with delight?
A30141O then we should have you cry out, I must have Christ, what shall I do for Christ?
A30141Of my sinful Soul?
A30141Q ● ● st Do you think that I do mean that my righteousness will save me, without Christs?
A30141Saith the soul, Can not the Devil give one such comfort tro?
A30141Shall Christ come down from Heaven to Earth to declare this to sinners?
A30141Shall Christ covenant with God for the salvation of sinners?
A30141Shall Christ think nothing too dear for me?
A30141Shall I grieve him with my foolish Carriage?
A30141Shall I have my Sins, and lose my Soul?
A30141Shall I honour thee most by believing thou wilt pardon my Sins, or by believing thou wilt not?
A30141Shall I not now yield my Members as Instruments of Righteousness, seeing my end is everlasting Life?
A30141Shall I now be ashamed of the Cause, Wayes, People, or Saints of Jesus Christ?
A30141Shall I now love ever a Lust or Sin?
A30141Shall I slight his Counsel by following of my own Will?
A30141Shall I tell thee?
A30141Shall not I now be holy?
A30141Shall not I now study, strive, and lay out my self for him that hath laid out himself Soul and Body for me?
A30141Should we have been made a curse?
A30141Should we have undergone the pains or hell?
A30141Sinner, canst thou read that Jesus Christ was made an offering for sin, and yet go on in sin?
A30141So it is here, there is a promise made indeed, but to whom?
A30141So that, is is there righteousness in Christ?
A30141That I may know also whether the day of Grace be past with me or no?
A30141The principle( you will say) what do you mean by that?
A30141The second thing is, How are these brought into this everlasting Covenant of Grace?
A30141Then all those Virgins arose( the wise and the foolish) then, when?
A30141Thirdly, doth he sometimes give thee some secret persuasions( though not scarcely discernable) that thou mayest attain, and get an interest in him?
A30141This is much; but is God contented with this?
A30141Thus also thou may''st say, when Death assaulteth thee, O Death, where is thy sting?
A30141Turn to the strong hold, saith God, ye prisoners of hope, even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee: Why so?
A30141Was he not fain to kill them to every thing below a Christ, that they were driven to their wits ends?
A30141Was not this the way that the Lord was fain to take to make them close in with Jesus Christ?
A30141What doest thou think that God, Christ, Prophets, and Scriptures, will all lie for thee?
A30141What hope therefore can I have?
A30141What say you, O you wounded sinners?
A30141What should I do then?
A30141What then?
A30141What, and come to Christ as a sinner?
A30141What, shall Christ become a drudge for you?
A30141When Justice it self is pleased with a man, and speaks on his side, instead of speaking against him, we may well cry out, Who shall condemn?
A30141Wherefore( saith he) as by one man sin entered into the World, and death by sin: and so death passed upon all men; mark that, but why?
A30141Which of these two Covenants art thou under, soul?
A30141Who compelled thee to swear?
A30141Who then can condemn?
A30141Who would not be in this Condition?
A30141Who would not be in this Glory?
A30141Who( now seeing all this is so effectually done) shall lay any thing, the least thing?
A30141Why Soul?
A30141Why so I pray you?
A30141Why, But Israel which followed after the Law of righteousness, have not attained to the Law of righteousness; how came that to pass?
A30141Why, What is it?
A30141Why, by the operation of the miracles that be did among them; for said they, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than this man hath done?
A30141Why, would you have us do nothing?
A30141Will they do me any good when Christ comes?
A30141Will you not hear the errand of Christ, although he telleth you tidings of peace and salvation?
A30141Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing, And why so?
A30141Would not Heaven be better to me then my Sins?
A30141and canst thou find in thy heart, to add to his groans, by slighting of his sufferings?
A30141and doth all this stir up in thy Heart some breathings after him?
A30141and falsifie their words for thee?
A30141and hast not thou taught in our streets?
A30141and how many times have I resolved in vain?
A30141and not rather under the Covenant of Works, that strict, that soul- damning Covenant?
A30141and of the blessed experience of the Work of God on a Christians heart?
A30141and shall sinners covenant with Hell, Death, and the Devil, for the damnation of their souls?
A30141and shall sinners stop their ears against this good tidings?
A30141and so much cause to be Glad?
A30141and that naturally thou hast no share in him, no faith in him, no communion with him, no delight in him, or love in the least to him?
A30141and that with all thy soul, heart, and delight,( which the Law as a Covenant of Works called for) and can''st thou being Carnal do that?
A30141and what course should I take to be delivered from this sad and troublesome Condition?
A30141and will you be drudges for the Devil?
A30141are they such things as thou takest Pleasure in?
A30141but how shall I come by them?
A30141but how should I come?
A30141do you mean the Covenant of the Law, or the Covenant of the Gospel?
A30141doth not thy finding of this in thee, cause thee to flie from a depending on thy own doings?
A30141for Christ will not say unto men in that day, Come, which of you made a profession of me, and walked in Church- fellowship with my Saints?
A30141free grace, Lord, who desired thee to promise?
A30141had I ever in all my life time one sinful thought passed thorough my heart since I was born, yea or no?
A30141have I the right work of God on my soul?
A30141how beggarly and miserable are the sons of Adam?
A30141how hast thou deceived me?
A30141how miserably hath the Devil deceived some?
A30141how shall I come at Christ?
A30141how will God advance his Holiness?
A30141how will God advance his Justice?
A30141how will they be deceived?
A30141insomuch that they were forced to cry out, Whbat shall we do to be saved?
A30141is all right with my soul?
A30141is there so much ground of Comfort?
A30141saith the soul if a few sins are so terrible, and lay the soul under such wrath and torment, what did Christ undergo?
A30141such Priviledges as these?
A30141that is mine: Is there perfection in that righteousness?
A30141that is mine: did he bleed for sin?
A30141then such a question as this, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having on thy wedding garment?
A30141to what may such a one attain?
A30141where will they leave their glory?
A30141whither may he arrive?
A30141whither will they fliethen?
A30141who would slight Convictions that are on their Souls, which tend so much for their good?
A30141why am I damned?
A30141with abstaining from some gross polutions?
A30141with walking in some ordinances, as to the outside of them?
A30141would not his dying only of a natural death have served the turn?
A30141would you have us make Christ such a drudge as to do all, while we sit idling still?
A30141would you not say, I did not think of Covenants or study the nature of them?
A57966( but I say have they not heard?)
A57966* Is not possession of eternall life from Christ, as well as the title or right to the Crown from Him?
A579661. Who can say I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
A5796610.14, 15. if no sins against the Gospel be punished with eternall death but only unbelief?
A5796615. and who can prescribe a period and an end of that triumph?
A5796616.13, 14, 15. and the Spirit who is sent?

A579663.16?
A5796638.65?
A579664.8?
A5796649.6, 9, 10. must not the fathers have command to speak the Gospel to their children?
A579665. have they more then Judas the son of perdition?
A579665.10?
A579665.15; 18?

A5796660. be internally Covenanted and sons of promise, and predestinated to life?
A579666?
A57966A learned Countrey- man, Charles Fermin: But the Israelites( saith he) have not heard the Gospel?
A57966A supernaturall power to beleeve is saving grace, and a power to love Christ, and can saving grace be in Pagans or in any, and they know not of it?
A57966A third case is, how can the beleever look upon life eternall as a gift, if it be sold at so condign a price as Christs blood?
A57966A ● si me Asinus calce feriisset jussuri eratis, ut contra eum calcem impingerem?
A57966Adams Law- obedience should only have so, and by this way been the cause or way to the possession?
A57966All men must die and return to dust, and so must sinners, as the Law requires, therefore Christ died not for thee?
A57966All my bones shall say, Lord, Who is like unto thee?
A57966Am I chosen or not?
A57966Ananias and Saphi ● a and their children the spirituall and chosen seed?
A57966And 1. shall we then be justified by works, that is, by a purpose and intention to work?
A57966And 4. his people must cease from man whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
A57966And Decius father and son who suffered so much for their Countrey, and loved it more then their own blood?
A57966And O what beauty of wisedom and mercy do they see here, who make that foul work of the slayers of Christ the subject matter of a fair Psalm?
A57966And a strong reason of this is given, the Gentiles run; Whence comes this forwardnesse of the Gentiles who knew not God?
A57966And did not the Father and the Son from eternity decree to send the Spirit?
A57966And did not the Spirit also consent to the decree before the world was?
A57966And her conference with the watchmen, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
A57966And how could the Son pray, Father, give the inheritance of the Heathen to me, according to promise?
A57966And how many answers doth our Advocat in Heaven make for sinners on earth in his pleadings, of which we know not in particular any thing?
A57966And how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A57966And how shall they preach except they be 〈 ◊ 〉?
A57966And if strong Adam and upright, created in holinesse, could not then stand his alone; Shall our clay legs now under the fall bear us up?
A57966And is it not a punishment to be deprived of the Kingdome?
A57966And is not a Jewell of ten thousand millions of more worth then a Diamond that is not worth the eighth part of that summe?
A57966And is one flower more to be smelled then the whole Garden?
A57966And may we not say, that the same Covenant of Grace, we are under, is the same in nature and substance with that Covenant made with Abraham?
A57966And must Africanus Major, and Cato, who suffered for the liberty of the publick, and Diogenes, who lived on herbs, be mortified men to the world?
A57966And now shall they say, We have no King, because we feared not the Lord: what shall then a King do to us?
A57966And shall Horatius Cocles be a mortified man, because he defended the Romans against the three Curiatii alone?
A57966And shall all these excellencies of faith, be in the faith of Divels and Hypocrites?
A57966And shall feelings and raptures, and manifestations of God in his out- goings be courted and over- courted by us beyond the God of all comforts?
A57966And shall not the Question recur concerning that condition?
A57966And that this is not a New Testament dispensation, who can say?
A57966And this would be considered( whoso beleeves in Christ are justified and saved) how it is universall?
A57966And thought he dined well when he gained to the Lord the soul of a woman, and of them of Samaria, who hated him and refused to lodge him?
A57966And was the state mortified who pardoned him that bloody fact, for his gallant service?
A57966And what Scripture is there for that?
A57966And what a debt must that be, the forgiving of ten thousand talents, more then to forgive millions and tuns of gold?
A57966And what a trembling hope have they that they be, and are to fear they shall be in the condition of Apostate Angels to morrw?
A57966And what authority have men to devise a redemption generall, universall, from hell, and not from sin?
A57966And what can a meer stranger to life and being give to the just Heritor and Lord of life and being?

A57966And what could move the father, since he might have followed the Law- course of Works?
A57966And what influence hath his death in his Pastoral Office?
A57966And what is to be thought of the will averse from God, and which hates him, and wishes that God were not?
A57966And what need that Christ should die, if the act of beleeving should be that precious righteousnesse of God, and that according to the Law of faith?
A57966And what other properties there be of the Covenant?
A57966And what pride is this, because I am a meer patient under gifted holinesse, to usurpe it as mine own?
A57966And what repugnancie to the Covenant of Grace which is not also contrair to the Law?
A57966And what ye give to another, it was out of his dominion, but all things are in his dominion, for who spoiled him of what he had?
A57966And when do we know that it is not the old heart?
A57966And when thou rides, whence is it that I am the rider, and the wearied horse the carrier, but from God?
A57966And who knowes not we owne grace as our own?
A57966And who looks spiritually to their receipts?
A57966And who sees not our debt of love, for a foresight and providence of pure grace?
A57966And why, but we should be formally justified in him without faith also?
A57966And, O what riches of grace and mercy, and plenteous Redemption hath he manifested to us?
A57966Another case is here: Is Christ on our side of the Covenant, and on the Lords side?
A57966Answers thou the high Priest so?
A57966Are they not saved all of them?
A57966As Adams sin is ours by imputation, and we formally and inherently are sinners in Adam?
A57966As also, Christ flees to this Covenant in his extream suffering, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A57966As hope is put for the object hoped for?
A57966As that saith, Who gave first to the Lord, and it shall be recompensed him?

A57966But Paul strangely crosseth this, How shall they call upon him( as God reveal ● ● i ● Christ) in whom they believe not?
A57966But because the Kingdom of Christ is spirituall, the Element of water can do them no good, except they beleeve?
A57966But can any deny but Christ on the Crosse did act the cause of many beleevers not born?
A57966But if Christ suffer for finall unbeleef, as it is against the Law as the Law, how is it charged upon reprobates as a sin against the Gospel only?
A57966But if the former sense be intended( as how can it be denyed?)
A57966But is it not hard, that Christ is in one Covenant, and beleevers in another?
A57966But is not life eternall given and promised only to faith which continues to the end?
A57966But is not the Covenant of Grace contrary to the Law and Covenant of Works?
A57966But is not the desire of food and raiment naturall, how then is it faulty?
A57966But is there no paction between GOD and the creature?
A57966But so there was no sinfull drynesse in Christ; Was He not therefore anointed?
A57966But suppose there were no creature to pay the rent of this glory to him, is the Lord a loser therefore?
A57966But the act of touching was conjoined with the act of hearing: Who hath touched me?
A57966But the conscience of the beleever, suppose there were no devill, challenges him of sin, and therefore that he is under a curse?
A57966But then may we not sin, because wee are freed from the dominion of the Law and death?
A57966But to whom is the Soveraign Lord debter?
A57966But upon whom should sins and transgressions and the punishment thereof be, if not upon the carcases of the Authors?

A57966But who lives for God, who sleeps, who wakes, who eats for God and his Glory?
A57966But why but we may trust in our renued selves now furnished with a stock and infused habits, the excellent blossoms and blooms of heaven?
A57966Can God give his Son as a Ransome for us, upon condition that we beleeve, if he himself absolutely work the condition in us?

A57966Can the sorcerer Magus say, there can be no better right then I have to challenge Baptism and the Lords Supper?
A57966Can we give to any that which is his own already?
A57966Can ye give to a Crowned King over such a Kingdome his own Crown?
A57966Can ye give to the righteous owner of his own lands, his own Garden, and his own vineyard, in gift?
A57966Christ came, not sought for, not sent for, not so much as desired by us: For how could we desire a thing impossible, to our knowledge?
A57966Christ?
A57966Does not the Law command the sinner offending God to mourn and be humbled, and confesse?
A57966Doth the Lord Mediator, in the Covenant of Grace, command the same good works to all, th ● same way?
A57966For I have said, mercy shal be built- up for ever: — Why?
A57966For life eternall and not for the giving of the Spirit, and for redemption from a vain conversation, and for sanctifying of the people also?
A57966For that command of Repentance is given only personally to them who moved the Question, What shall we do, Men and Brethren?
A57966For unto which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?
A57966For what can the highest goodnesse( sayeth he) give to one that loves it, but it self?
A57966For what end?
A57966For whose sake came he this journey to the earth?
A57966Friend, I do thee no worng: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?

A57966Have you any Charter?
A57966He is near that justifies me, who is he that contends with me( in judgement?)
A57966He is of one( minde) and who can turn him?
A57966He reconceals that he saith with what before, by a preoccupation: And have all the Jewes fallen short of righteousnesse?
A57966Hence the Question, whether Law- innocency and never sinning ▪ or Gospel- repentance and rising again in Christ, be most excellent?
A57966Hence, 1. case: May not the conscience be quiet by the way of Socinus ▪ which lays aside a ransome given to Justice?
A57966Here is our effectuall intention; where is there a place for his dying with no effectuall intention to bring any to God?
A57966How are we redeemed from under the Law?
A57966How are we to conceive of the act of Suretyship?
A57966How can the Jews that are come in, be federaly holy for their fathers?
A57966How can the fear of falling away, and the faith of perseverance absolutely promised and absolutely given, consist together?
A57966How can the promise of the Covenant, to write the Law in the heart, be made absolutely, and not to the Reprobate, but to the Elect only?
A57966How cometh it to passe that seldome feeling of sin wanteth unbeleef?
A57966How contrair to a Spirituall disposition is this?
A57966How could we be in Christ as in our surety( for saith Arminius) we did not give nor appoint Christ to be our Cautioner or Surety?
A57966How is it that the Calling, Adoption, and the offer of mercy is restricted to few, and was confined to the Jews only of old?
A57966How many fetch peace, pardon and righteousnesse, not from Christ, but from their act of beleeving?
A57966How needfull then must the firm perswasion of compleat qualifications and fulnesse of anointing of Christ for the compleat discharge of his duty be?
A57966How shall they Preach, except they be sent?
A57966How shall they beleeve in him of whom they have not heard?
A57966How should Christ not be our end?
A57966How should he not make heaven and earth free grace to us, and all a masse of grace to us?
A57966How should that stand,( he hath mercy on whom he will) if free- will of the creature absolutely dispose of Salvation and damnation?
A57966How then can I do this great wickednesse, and sin against God?
A57966How then cometh the Gospel to them?
A57966How then should Adam know what God spake to him and n ● t to another, are we not to try all spirits that speak?
A57966How then?
A57966I have made a covenant with mine eye, why then should I look on a maid?
A57966I have peace offerings with me, to day have I payed my vowes?
A57966I tremble at such expressions: Is the Lord therefore not the Lord, and hath the Lord fallen from his naturall dominion over his Son, the Man Christ?
A57966If God will have mercy on the Gentiles, how is it that they have not heard the Gospel?
A57966If it be meant that God by his ordinary power may send Apostles in any age to all Nations: How is that to be said?
A57966If it be said to all conditionally, if they beleeve, not absolutely?
A57966If it were but to hold there be ten new worlds in the Moon, and millions of worlds in the other side of this world?
A57966If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how shall we then live?
A57966If prayer as prayer obtain all things, shall it obtain that the sacrificing of your son to God, shall be accepted of him as holy and lawfull worship?
A57966If they can not fall away, who are thus seated in the Covenant, is not free will left to much loosnesse of security?
A57966If thou be righteous what gives thou to him?
A57966If thou sinnest, what dost thou against him?
A57966If thy transgressions be multiplied, what dost thou to him?
A57966If ye salute your brethren 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 only, what do ye more then Publicans?
A57966In the former man is dead, in this man is humbled for sinne?
A57966In the former there are commands, not strength, but here there be promises and grace given?
A57966Is it by way of merit?
A57966Is it not lawfull for me to do what I will with mine own?
A57966Is it not lawfull to be taken and feelingly delighted with the influences of God?
A57966Is it pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous?
A57966Is not the letter of the Law a bondage, since we are freed in heaven from the letter and from awing threatening?
A57966Is not the promise so made to Turks, if they beleeve?
A57966Is not this enough?
A57966Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the Kingdom, by the might of my power, and the honour of my majesty?
A57966Is there no call of God now required for spreading of the Gospel?
A57966Is there not ground to beleeve that Christ shall make good his undertaking?
A57966Lastly, how is it that by baptized houses, must be meant only these come to age who can actually beleeve?
A57966Lord what am I?
A57966May not a child of God desire more then enough, how then is he mortified?
A57966Must the promise of a new heart be here excluded?
A57966None could ingrave the Law of God in the heart but Christ: one might say, was not the Law ingraven in the heart of some, and their sins pardoned?
A57966Nor let any man object, how could God make Christ a propitiation for sin to declare his righteousnesse?
A57966O what court, and power, and life hath our will?
A57966Or are you usurpers?
A57966Or could we thirst for a ransome of the blood of God unknown to Angels or Men?
A57966Or did Christ merit to himself?
A57966Or did he, by dying, merit his own resurrection?
A57966Or do ye robbe the Lord?
A57966Or how could such justice, by that action be debarred?
A57966Or is it a gain to him that thou makest thy wayes perfect?
A57966Or needs he the workmanship or structure of Heaven, Sun and Moon to be a Printed Book to spell and sound his glory?
A57966Or that creatures should be Heraulds of his praise?
A57966Or, am I an Apostate and fallen from Christ?
A57966Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter in to his glory?
A57966Q. VVHat sort of doing the Law requireth?
A57966Qualis enim amor iste esse potest, quem in ea re, qua nihil opus fuit, DEVS ostendit?
A57966Question: How is Christ said to be given as a Covenant of the people?
A57966Quid haeres?
A57966Quid mihi nunciaturus es, nisi Homerum revixisse?
A57966Quid vero il ● is precatus est nisi ut reciperentur inter Dei filios?
A57966Quomodo igitur potestis dicere, vos Judaei, non audivisse?
A57966Quomodo igitur vice& loco nostri Christus est mortuus, si nos quoque perpetuo ● idem mortis generi expositi sumus?
A57966Restlesse in rising and going through the City, in the streets and the broad wayes, seeking and asking, saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
A57966Sancti interiore dono opus est?
A57966Sed unde i d?
A57966See that none of you render evill for evill, i. e. evil for the good and profite of evill?
A57966Self- searching to know under what Covenant We are, a spirituall condition, and why?
A57966Shall I take my bread and my waters, and my flesh which I killed for my hearers, and give it to men whom I know not whence they be?
A57966Shall he have nothing for his work?
A57966Shall not, by this means, all the Infants of all the Gentiles be ingrafted in, and baptized?
A57966Shall we infer there was then no necessity that he should die?
A57966Shall we sin, because we are not under the Law, but under Grace?
A57966Should the heart of God be taken, and( to speak so) be sick of love for so many Nothings, whom he was to make heirs?
A57966Since mortification comes only from Christs death, what is the influence of Christs death herein?
A57966That Christ should be wounded for the transgressions of many, and yet the chastisement of his peace not be upon them?
A57966The thousands before the Throne, sing, worthy is the Lamb that was slain: But were they worthy who slew him?
A57966Then shall Gospel- obedience be of lesse worth then Law- obedience, which floweth not from Grace, which Christ hath merited by his death?
A57966They differ in the subject, matter: The Covenant of Redemption is, 1. who shall be the surety of Redemption to undertake for man?
A57966Though the bloody Gallant killed his own sister?
A57966Though this be spoken to ▪ all the Covenanted people of God, yet are Infants casten out of the bosome of a Covenant Father and God?
A57966To what things must we be crucified?
A57966True, it should be lost, so when God suffers the Angels to fall, and Adam to sin, where is the Glory of his legislative Majesty?
A57966VVHerein stands the eternity of the Covenant of Grace?
A57966WHat are the false grounds of the Lords making the Covenant of Grace?
A57966WHat is the speciall difference of the promise of the two Covenants?
A57966WHat need is there of any condition to be performed by Christ, or of any Covenant?
A57966WHat room hath death in the Covenant?
A57966WHat room or place hath Christ the Mediator in the Covenants?
A57966WHen are we to judge, that we have a new heart?
A57966WHerein stands our right to Christ, and the satisfaction made for us by Christ?
A57966WHither was God under an obligation, to make a Covenant with man?
A57966Was Christ such an one, as needed seals to his speciall Covenant with the Father?
A57966Was man a Crown and wager for God, for God, for such a God to run for, to work for, and to win?
A57966Was not Adam chosen?
A57966Was not Christ a noble self?
A57966Was not then Adam predestinated to life eternall, through Jesus Christ?
A57966Was there not a more fixed seat in Angels, then in clay, for so high a love as the Love of God?
A57966We Gentiles have not that naturall relation to Abraham, nor are we his naturall sons, nor branches?
A57966We beleeve in Christ: but do we repent in Christ?
A57966We shall find our selves so selfie in contraverting with God in the matter of fact touching our selves: am I in Christ?
A57966Were not Moses, Aaron, and many of the people of God, sanctified, pardoned, and justified according to that Covenant?
A57966Were there no more in praying, but a communion with God, how sweet is it?
A57966What Covenant of life and of peace are we in?
A57966What Godly trembling is required in us?
A57966What am I?
A57966What are the actings of a mortified man?
A57966What are the speces or sorts of mortifications, that we may know the true mortification?
A57966What are the speciall differences of one under the Covenant of Works, and of one under the Covenant of Grace?
A57966What are then such Heathens to beleeve as touching that threatning, who never heard of the Gospel?
A57966What can that faith profite?
A57966What comfort and good cheer?
A57966What doth it profite,& c. Can faith save him?
A57966What holiness is it that is called federal, or Covenant holiness which is in Infants?
A57966What if God see not?
A57966What if he tramp upon my eternall Crown, I should lay it down at his feet; and is not this mortification?
A57966What if man perish as the beasts?
A57966What if there be no Christ, nor Gospel, but only questions of words?
A57966What if there be no God?
A57966What influence reall or physicall had faith in slaying men, in refraining the hungry Lions to eat Daniel?
A57966What is meant by the oldnesse of the letter in which we are not to serve?
A57966What is mortification?

A57966What is the dominion of the Law over a sinner?
A57966What is the formall reason and ground that any hath right to Baptism?

A57966What mercy?
A57966What needs the shedding of the blood of God?
A57966What place hath Christs righteousnesse here?
A57966What righteousnesse of God?

A57966Wherefore then serveth the Law?
A57966Wherein stands our right to Christ and the satisfaction made for us by Christ?
A57966Whether are there rarer threatnings of Temporall evils under the New Covenant, then under the Old?
A57966Whether doth the Lord Mediator as Mediator, command the same good works in the Covenant of Grace which are commanded in the Covenant of Works?
A57966Whether faith as lively and true, or faith as continuing to the end, be the condition of the Covenant of Grace?
A57966Whether or no did Adam and all the Reprobats in his loyns, by sin, losse right to the creatures?
A57966Whether or not, is Justification taken one and the same way in the Old and New Testament?
A57966Whether there be any such thing as a Covenant of Suretyship or Redemption between JEHOVAH and the Son of GOD?
A57966Which is empty, he must mean, what can it profite before God, to save and justifie?
A57966Who excells in learning, who admires not his own, the birth of his own mind?
A57966Who looks to a borrowed body and a borrowed soul, yea and to self, and to that which is called I, as to a thing that is freely gifted?
A57966Why are we more ashamed of an unclean lustfull heart, then of a proud heart?
A57966Why but as Christ bare in his body the sins of unbelief and satisfied for them, he must so also bear the sins of finall rebellion and unbelief?
A57966Why died he?
A57966Why should this dead dog curse my lord the King?
A57966Why, that must be every one of you who are cōmanded to repent?

A57966can you give to one that, of which he was absolute Lord before?
A57966commands that fear, fear( saith he) to deny Christ before men: Why?
A57966could not God have said, eat not of the tree of knowledge, for if ye eat not, your obedience shall be rewarded with life eternall, and no more?
A57966for Heathen and Pagan vertues by education, and morall exercise, which is but wild corn?
A57966for Infant Baptisme?
A57966for he gives not account of any of his matters?
A57966for he thirsted for nothing so much as honour: And how soft and very nothing is the spirit that is broken with riches or honour and pleasure?

A57966save him?
A57966that the desire of God should be toward us: How far below the price that love put on us?
A57966this, why marvail ye, as if we by our power and holinesse had made this man to walk?
A57966thou sees that his faith wrought with his works: What faith?
A57966to self?
A57966under, not a finger, or an arm, or a leg, but a body of sinne: O wretched man, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

A60356( I wish that this word may not only sound in our ears, but sink into our hearts; are they the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified?
A603561. the Revelation of Jesus Christ; — how came it to be his?
A6035612. saith he, They shall look upon him whom they have pi ● … ed and what then?
A6035628, 29. saith he, Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect; it is God that Iustifies, who shall condemn?
A603563. the latter end, Great is the mysterie of godliness: — What''s that?
A603568. saith he, What shall separate, tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword?
A603568. who shall lay any thing to my charge?
A60356A Brother, how a Brother?
A60356Abraham, he was a man of Faith; and what was his Faith?
A60356Again, grow in Grace, grow in Faith,''t is your duty; — and to what purpose?
A60356Alas, Brethren, how hardly are we brought to these Services?
A60356Alas, how little is there of the mysterie of the Gospel, that our hearts have already received?
A60356Alas, how often do we misinterpret God and his dealings, and pass very hard and sharp censures upon them?
A60356Alas, meekness and humility, it''s a lovely Grace; but where doth it appear?
A60356Alas, what kind of Sabbaths do we keep?
A60356Alas, what woful breakings would there be upon our comforts?
A60356And doth it not concern me to endeavour conformity to him, that I may express the like heavenly- mindedness that Jesus Christ did?
A60356And doth not the very thing it self invite you to it?
A60356And how would this promote to duty, and provoke to imitation?
A60356And so sometimes with hypocrites, as in our Saviours time; O, what a matter was it among the Pharises, to eat with unwashen hands, which was no sin?
A60356And then again, I press you, that you would grow in Grace, and grow in the Grace of Faith: — why, what growth would you require?
A60356And then again, This Jesus is the Son, the Son of the Father; where can I place my trust and confidence so freely, as upon the King of Heaven''s Son?
A60356And then thirdly, Grow in Grace, — in what Grace?
A60356And then thirdly, have not you been directed to this?
A60356And vvhat''s the reason that vve are not more lively to such a purpose?
A60356And what''s the meaning of that?
A60356And whence is it, but through a defectiveness in Knowledge?
A60356And, what should hinder, but that we should be of as good a Faith as Abraham was?
A60356Are not the Ordinances given to profit withal, and to improve by?
A60356Are there such depths in this Knowledge?
A60356Are we able to fathom the depth of them?
A60356Are we come to perfection?
A60356Are you able to say, with Peter, if the question should be put to you, as it was to him; Simon, Son of J ● … nah, Lovest thou me?
A60356As now to instance: Alas, how many are there that are inordinate in their Love?
A60356As now, When a poor Beleever shall think thus with himself, Why do I hesitate?
A60356But alas, how little do we attain to of this Gospel- Repentance?
A60356But alas, how little is there of conformity to Christ?
A60356But are there any such?
A60356But what are the requisites of this growth?
A60356But, saith he, every time they come to offer these Sacrifices, there is a remembrance of sins: — Why?
A60356Can he look this Text in the face?
A60356Can not you tell how you may make it appear that you do grow in Grace?
A60356David did, and say, Is there not a cause?
A60356Did Christ live thus?
A60356Did you never hear that this hath been a means propounded to you?
A60356Did''st not thou know, that the Grace of God, that brings Salvation, it did teach to deny all ungodlyness, and worldly lusts?
A60356Do not you know how men make it appear, that they have more strength of body than others?
A60356Do not your consciences tell you, that of a truth, you make nothing of this duty?
A60356Do you know the interpretation of this, Christ in you, the hope of Glory?
A60356Do you know what Grace is?
A60356Do you say you have great heaviness, and continual sorrow in your heart?
A60356Dost thou indeed love him?
A60356Doth not thy conscience tell thee, that thou lyest, when thou sayest thou lovest him, and his Christ, and his Spirit, and his waies?
A60356Exercise your selves with serious considerations to such a purpose: My soul, is there any grace of God in thee, or art thou a stranger to it?
A60356Five Talents given to one; to what purpose?
A60356For consider: — What is there to ● … e known of Christ?
A60356For his Friend: I, but what a love was this then, That one should come and lay down his life for those that were Enemies?
A60356Grace leads in Glory, and Glory doth most properly follow Grace: Who should have Glory, but they that have Grace?
A60356Have I been careful to walk according to this direction?
A60356Have not I a God to trust upon?
A60356Have we comprehended?
A60356Have you Faith?
A60356Have you any thing of the Love of God in you?
A60356Here''s love indeed; and it appears so to us, because by being made the Sons of God, we come to be in a condition like unto Christ?
A60356How apt are such to rise up in opposition to God, to Christ, and the wayes of the Gospel, that know him not?
A60356How can they love Christ, that know not Christ?
A60356How can they love him?
A60356How can they repent that know not Christ?
A60356How doth he improve this Glory and Honour that is conferred upon him?
A60356How earnest was Paul with God on the behalf of the Church of the Ephesians, That their understandings might be enlightned?
A60356How often are those things that are no sins, judged to be sins; and those things that are sins, judged to be none at all?
A60356How shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard, and whom they have not known?
A60356I am apt to think, that you have had some movings upon your hearts; hath it been so, and will you let the cause fall again?
A60356I feel a load of guilt upon me, and I see a hell before me, and I am in danger to sink down into the bottomless lake; O sirs, what shall I do?
A60356I have all, and abound: what a blessed thing was this?
A60356I have only this one thing further: — But what shall we do to grow in the Knowledge of Christ?
A60356I never offended thee; Why should I be made an Offering and a Sacrifice for sin?
A60356I offer this to be considered of, How can such believe?
A60356I remember there is an expression to such a purpose, in Iob, how little a matter is known of God?
A60356I should be tormented there; is that all?
A60356I, and what indeed would become of our Justification?
A60356I, but consider now, what will your Consciences answer?
A60356I, but is it so?
A60356I, but what of that, Is it a truth in you?
A60356If it be so that there is such allowance given, such a provision made in so ample a manner; if it be so, Lord, why am I thus?
A60356If so be that you ask me now; I but what course shall we take?
A60356If you desire to grow in Grace, do but study what Grace is, and if you have it, what it is in you; why, is it not a lovely thing?
A60356Is Christ such a Brother?
A60356Is it for the honour of God to have such kind of children?
A60356Is there Holyness begun in you?
A60356Is there any saving work upon thee yea or no?
A60356Is there not a Conscience within us that can witness against us, that this pretious Knowledge it was never very pretious unto us?
A60356Is there some filthyness cleansed away?
A60356Is this a true testimony?
A60356Is this the spirit of the Gospel?
A60356Is your Faith such a Faith?
A60356It is the priviledg of a Saint, that he shall grow: Shall he?
A60356It may be questioned from hence; Is not Knowledge Grace?
A60356It were very good for every one of us, to be putting this question to our own hearts; O my soul, dost thou love God indeed?
A60356Mark what our Saviour speaks after his Resurrection, saith he, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer: And what then?
A60356Mark you,''T is not barely the suffering; the damned in Hell, they suffer, and shall suffer eternally; but what Glory hath God from their suffering?
A60356May not we conceive that Knowledge is a Grace; and then requiring growth in Grace, he requires growth in Knowledge?
A60356Men are apt to plead, How is it possible that we should live otherwise in the world, a wretched world, a world that lyes in wickedness?
A60356Nay, what shall I do, that my Brother may be saved?
A60356Now consider this; was Christ Jesus a sufferer, and so deep and dreadful a sufferer?
A60356Now if you ask, But how would you have us to grow, or to what pitch and proportion would you have us to arrive?
A60356Now mark you, what''s this travel?
A60356Now to grow, what is it?
A60356Now, do but argue thus: Is there such a Mysterie?
A60356Now, how should we judge, but by the help of the Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ?
A60356Now, if this were well considered, wold it not contribute exceedinly to the promoting of preaching and of hearing work?
A60356Now, if you have a little of this precious commodity, why should not your hearts be set to this, that you may have more of it?
A60356Now, is there not reason to say, To him be glory, both now and for ever?
A60356Now, ow shall we give account of this?
A60356Now, what a priviledge is this, to be in Relation to Christ, as to a Brother, by vertue of the Fathers Adoption to us?
A60356Now, what are we to gather from hence?
A60356O Lord, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A60356O Lord, what will become of such a neer relation?
A60356O how shall we be able to stand before this charge?
A60356O now, shall all that hath been preached to you from one morning to another, pass away?
A60356O, Brethren, do you know the meaning of this?
A60356O, Christ, and waies of Holiness, why am I not more in spiritual strength?
A60356O, What a Faith did the woman of Canaan discover?
A60356O, but Lord, What''s the meaning of this, Christ in you, and Christ in you the hope of Glory?
A60356O, but what is this to that act of Grace, that the great Majesty of heaven performs on the behalf of poor sinful sons and daughters of men?
A60356O, do we thus commune with our own hearts?
A60356O, is it likely that Christ will say to you, in the great day of account; Well done, good and Faithful servant, faithful servant, faithful servant?
A60356O, people be apt to think that they were worthy to be spit in the face: — Why?
A60356O, surely, surely, we may most complain and say, O sweet Saviour, how little a matter do I know of thee?
A60356O, what a rebelling soul is there in me?
A60356Say we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a Devil?
A60356Shall I tell you yet further?
A60356Shall the Scriptures speak to us in vain?
A60356Solomon tell us, In the fear of man, there is a snare, and how apt are people to be ensnared by it?
A60356Stand still, why?
A60356That he shew the pattern to the house of Israel; and wherefore?
A60356The poor soul may argue thus; O, but alas, Christ will never suffer more; if we sin, and break with God, what shall we do?
A60356Then I would say this to thee; Dost thou love him?
A60356There are so many corrupt principles, and corrupt examples; how can it be that we can live in such a world, and live as we ought?
A60356There is a terribleness in Death, and it is called the King of Terrors: And how many are there, that are not able to bear the thoughts of it?
A60356To know me; — with what a kind of Knowledge?
A60356To you it is given; given as a gift: To you it is given; — what is given?
A60356True it is, thou canst not reach my person, me as the head; but thou reachest me in my members; Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?
A60356Upon what account worthy?
A60356Well, what follows upon this?
A60356What Kingdoms did Moses and Joshua subdue by Faith?
A60356What am I better this year than I was the last?
A60356What can I speak that is more proper for to be spoken to those that are called to the participation of the Grace of the Gospel?
A60356What doth this speak, but the vanity of the promise, and that it was a thing not to be reckoned upon, no account to be made of it?
A60356What is he for his Name?
A60356What is the chaff to the wheat?
A60356What love was here?
A60356What shall I say?
A60356What was he the better for his Knowledge?
A60356What''s the account that is to be given of our daily Services that we perform, Sabbath- worships and Duties?
A60356What''s the meaning of that?
A60356What''s the reason that we are so apt to dote upon the World, and upon these lying and vexing vanities here below?
A60356What''s the reason?
A60356What''s this, but formalizing?
A60356What, have we got to the bottom of these Mysteries?
A60356When the Spouse was giving in charge to them concerning her Beloved, say they, What is thy beloved more than another beloved?
A60356When the account rises up concerning a Soul, according to that in the Parable of the unjust Steward; He takes an account, How much owest thou?
A60356Whence is it that we are so apt to be meddling with the World, and apt to have our hearts set upon these beggerly vanities here below?
A60356Whence is it that we do not make more account of Justification, forgiveness of sins, which is a most pretious mercy?
A60356Whence is it, but because we know not our Lord Jesus Christ as we ought to know?
A60356Whence is this?
A60356Where you have some matter, To him be glory: To him; to whom?
A60356Wherein now must they reckon to suffer?
A60356Whether is thy Beloved gone, that we may seek him with thee?
A60356Why Brethren how else will God be glorified by us; how can persons that have grace, think that they can glorifie God, if they do not grow in it?
A60356Why are Christians, that are the Kings Sons and Daughters, lean from day to day?
A60356Why have I a fluctuating heart?
A60356Why is this spirit quite worn out of the World?
A60356Why, Brethren; can you have too much of God?
A60356Why, do not you know what a Christ he was?
A60356Why, is there any thing in this World, wherein a growth is more lovely to see, than Grace and Holiness is?
A60356Why, novv, Kings and Priests?
A60356Why, the business of Faith, is to fill the soul with joy and peace in beleeving; and, do you talk of sorrow and heaviness in your heart?
A60356Why, what a wonderful thing is this, that the Faith of a Beleever should carry to this?
A60356Why?
A60356Why?
A60356Why?
A60356Why?
A60356Why?
A60356Will you call this tautologie?
A60356Will you consider of this now, as a further addition to all the rest?
A60356Wilt thou undertake for them?
A60356Yet further, grow in Grace, grow in Faith; and how shall it appear?
A60356You know how Pharaoh carryed himself; Who is the Lord?
A60356You know how the Apostle argues against this; Shall we continue in sin, because Grace hath abounded?
A60356You perswade us to a growth in Faith, what growth is it that you press us to?
A60356You should be thinking with your selves, if Christ should put such a question to you; such a one, Thomas, John, Brother, Sister, dost thou love me?
A60356and an Infinite Majesty, and at an infinite distance, and who can injoy him?
A60356and do I rest in Ordinances?
A60356and doth not the Apostle require a growth in Knowledge, when he requires a growth in Grace?
A60356and duty, the end of duty?
A60356and how scant and short is our line, that we are not able to fathom the depth?
A60356and of the things of God?
A60356and to drink in unwashen cups; and this and that?
A60356and what a depth is here?
A60356and what kind of Prayers do we perform and offer up to God?
A60356and whom is there on earth, that I love, and desire in comparison of thee?
A60356are there such as walk in such a spirit?
A60356art thou able to make a bold profession of thy love to God?
A60356as the Prophet Ieremiah speaks: And what is the dross to the Gold?
A60356but either from the total want, or a very great weakness that is in their Faith?
A60356can you give a good account of it?
A60356can you have too much of Christ?
A60356can you have too much of Faith and Holiness?
A60356favour with God, forgiveness of sins?
A60356have I set my heart upon this, in order to growth in Grace, for to keep as loose as I can?
A60356have we attained?
A60356how did this torment Iudas on this side Hell, before he came there?
A60356how do I credit the means and ordinances that I do attend upon, by my prosiciency?
A60356how he lived in the World as a stranger?
A60356how little do we express mostly of such a temper and frame of spirit?
A60356how little of it?
A60356how shall I do to escape the wrath to come?
A60356how we have wounded him, and how unworthy we have carryed it towards him; will he not keep all this in remembrance?
A60356is it pursued?
A60356it is Christ that died: — I, but what of that, that he died; why, if so be that he be not risen again, how can God be just in justifying?
A60356my Husband?
A60356my Sister saved?
A60356my Wife?
A60356not able to stand before the thoughts of their dying?
A60356shall we be as if so be we were hearing of sounding brass, and a tinkling symbal?
A60356that his precious soul should be in such an agony, as that he should be constrained to cry out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A60356that is, as terrible as devouring fire, as dreadful as everlasting burning; who shall dwell with him?
A60356that my Friends and Acquaintance may be saved?
A60356that our hearts are not more inlarged to God, in a vvay of blessing, and praising, and thanksgiving to him?
A60356that you are better in Godlyness?
A60356that you have more Grace than you had?
A60356use it, but not set my heart upon it?
A60356what a crabbed, perverse nature have I?
A60356what a cursed wretch shall I be to all eternity?
A60356what a dreadful day is this?
A60356what a heavenly Spirit he had?
A60356what a miserable wretch shall I be, if I should live and dye out of the favour of God, and not be reconcil''d unto him by his Christ?
A60356what account canst thou give this way?
A60356what advances are there?
A60356what am I the better?
A60356what darkness is in my understanding?
A60356what did they that cryed out, Not this man, but Barrabas?
A60356what do I make hearing, the end of hearing?
A60356what if my Husband should go do ● … to Eternal Vengeance, and I get into Glory?
A60356what increases are there?
A60356what inordinacy in my affections?
A60356what is there belonging to a well improved Knowledge in the Life and Conversation of Christ?
A60356what manner of person ought I to be, that I may be meet to be partaker of the inheritance of the Saints in light?
A60356what may we do in order to this?
A60356what must they reckon upon to suffer?
A60356what perversness in my will?
A60356what plaister broad enough to cover such sores?
A60356what price great enough to say such debts?
A60356what shall I do to be saved?
A60356what shall I do, that I may escape this curse, and condemnation, and come to be made partakers of Christ, and of the Salvation that is by him?
A60356what shall I do, that my Brethren may be saved; and that my Relations may escape the vengeance to come?
A60356what shall become of him?
A60356what shall become of me to all eternity?
A60356what was his pitch, and stature, and proportion?
A60356what will become of us now?
A60356what''s my Salvation to the Glory of God?
A60356when Conscience shall witness to us that we are rather upon our declining?
A60356who art thou Lord?
A60356who shall be able to bear up at the thoughts of him?
A60356who shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A60356why am I not able to give a better account?
A60356why am I not more in Faith?
A60356why am I not more in love to thee?
A60356why is not my heart setled and fixt, and come to be full of confidence in God?
A60356why should I faint?
A60356why should I have any miss- givings?
A60356why should he make this a distinct requiry from the former?

A60356— How earnest was Solomon in that behalf, that he would give him a wise and an understanding heart?

A92141How long Lord, wilt thou be angry, for ever?
A92141How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
A92141How many cast we out that Christ receives in?
A92141How many wonder, and despise, and persecute?
A92141How mighty and strong are the acts of longing and languishing after Christ that flow from love- sicknesse?
A92141How proud and shamelesse are we to deny this running botch of sin original, and say it is no sin?
A92141How shall I get courage and spiritual strength?
A92141How shall I get holy dispositions?
A92141How shall I get praying?
A92141How shall our short arme reach these influences?
A92141How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
A92141How strongly may the believer argue who hath any heavenly fixedness of heart, or any thing of Christ in him?
A92141How sweet is it when pain it self makes prayers to Christ?
A92141How unsavoury shall this be?
A92141How was he the formost in the journey to Jerusalem?
A92141How?
A92141I desire him to tell me, whether he can prove, that any mans sins are pardoned, before they have accepted Christ for their Lord?
A92141I have sinned, what shall I doe to thee, O thou preserver of men?
A92141I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them?
A92141I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them?
A92141If God so call some as they obey, and others as they obey not, because he will, who can resist his will?
A92141If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
A92141If Infants be free of sin, why is nature called by them a step- dame, which hath brought forth men in such misery when they enter in the world?
A92141If all the sick on earth were their own only Physicians, whether old or young, should it not be ill with the health of many?
A92141If any say, May not sound believers also blow at the wrong harthstone and think the like?
A92141If there be such summer- showres of heavenly influences under Christ, how is our fleece dry?
A92141If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
A92141If this be not abusing of Scripture, what is it?
A92141If you find my beloved in the Ordinances by hearing or prayer, tell him: what shall you tell him?
A92141Impatiency of desire is paining, how long shall the Lord hide his face?
A92141In these questions the flesh and unbelieving sense have a great hand; the question in sense includes this, Is the Lord the Lord?
A92141In using publick means; watch- men, saw ye him?
A92141Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
A92141Is it not thus?
A92141Is not Joshua ragged, and cloathed with filthy garments?
A92141Is not languishing pain in love- sickness after Christ an evil to be prayed against?
A92141Is not spiritual hunger humble?
A92141Is not this violence?
A92141Is that a supposed wrath?
A92141Is there no running except God enlarge the heart?
A92141Is there no running except the Lord give enlargement and new influences, and what we may here doe?
A92141Is there not an heart warmness in the natural and unrenewed man?
A92141It s low enough now, and yet how doth the Church lift up her head?
A92141It s retorted, Had I more of nature and of natural parts, I should doe more for God; but more of nature you have, and what doe you?
A92141It were strange to say that nature can of condignity merit grace, so as God should be unjust if he deny grace to nature: where is that written?
A92141It''s not enough to doe the same that heathens doe; for if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye?
A92141It''s strange that the preaching of the Gospel and Satan lodge together in Judas; Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
A92141Knowest thou not thy self to be a servant gracelesse and malignant?
A92141Let then the question be, what talk ye to us of predeterminating influences that are above us in the hand of a Soveraign God?
A92141May not such as are sick of love pray for sense and comfort?
A92141May we not lay out rotten and unclean hearts before God?
A92141May we not then say that dispositions are the affections heavenly disposed?
A92141Nor said he to the dry bone ●, Shall I open your graves, and bring you out loving and believing?
A92141Now Christ not believed in for pardon, is he at so huge a distance from a sinner that he can not heal, if never seen, and never touched by faith?
A92141Now can these two spirits, the Spirit of God and the Divel lodge in one and the same dwelling, and exercise their several operation on the same soul?
A92141Now in all this our Saviour answers well the whole doubt; he that is not faithful in little, can he be faithful in much?
A92141Now is it not good that there is a wise providence in Christ, which fits both their prayers, and does the business well?
A92141O Lord God of my salvation, I cry day and night before thee: What?
A92141O Lord, why hast thou made us to erre from thy ways, and hardened our hearts from thy fear?
A92141O Lord, why hast thou made us to erre from thy ways?
A92141O house of Israel, can not I doe with you as the potter, saith the Lord?
A92141O my people, what have I done to thee?
A92141O what a savour hath his birth, his life, his precious oyntments, his death, his resurrection?
A92141O what depth of love, did the King chuse me, or did he once name my name, and write me for life eternal?
A92141O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame?
A92141Oh, it speaks life to be pained for the wa ● of the Spirit and his influences: what wonder that ye can not perswade a sleeping man that he sleeps?
A92141Only this shall bide a question, How shall they pray for the Spirit that want the Spirit?
A92141Out of whose womb came the yce?
A92141Paul had said that the world and the Princes of the world knew not the mystery of the Gospel; why?
A92141Peter is angry because Christ lesseneth his stock and habit of grace and strength of faith; Lord, why can I not follow thee now?
A92141Quid timetis magnum populum& Christi Judicium magnum non timetis?
A92141Saith the doubting soul, Shall I ever again see the beauty and glory of his power, as sometimes I did in the Sanctuary?
A92141Salvation is far from the wicked: and what are then the influences of God on them?
A92141Sardis hath a name; they are living and yet are dead: then is it useless to speak to Sardis now dead?
A92141Shall I ever again doubt as a down- casting soul?
A92141Shall I wait any longer upon the Lord?
A92141Shall any teach God knowledge?
A92141Shall not Christ in you the hope of glory keep Christ himself in you?
A92141Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, what makest thou?
A92141Shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not?
A92141Shall we teach the Lord to speak?
A92141Should not the child weep, when the father is angry?
A92141So he may say to us, Doe ye preach, hear, swear a covenant for me at all?
A92141So plagued and melted away sinners, you might have been charmed by God and would not, can you blame God?
A92141So the Lord might say to the Pharisees who prayed in the streets, Did ye at all pray to me, even to me?
A92141So the common excuse; woe to the Providence that God sent such an unhappy counseller to me; oh what had I to do there?
A92141Some say, Shall I ever again be dead?
A92141Sometimes ye were darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord?
A92141Stars, why made he me not the Sun?
A92141THe third particular is, what speaks a spiritual man and spiritual influences?
A92141That is the physical cause, and the Lord is free of your sinful deadness and unsavouriness in so doing: Why?
A92141That is, to bring Christ again from above: Or, who shall descend into the deep?
A92141The Adversary is most angry at the distinction, as dark and not intelligible, and says it can not be taught the people: why?
A92141The Lord despiseth not his prisoners; why?
A92141The birds reason not so; they say not in winter, shall ever the Spring and the season of building our nests come again?
A92141The foot should not complain, why made he not me the head?
A92141The fourth particular is the fewel that makes the fire; the Scriptures opened, and opened by Christs key; Is not my word like a fire?
A92141The fourth particular is the subject or seat of burning, and its the heart; did not our hearts burn within us?
A92141The third question, How far David, or a child of God, may undertake to run, upon the supposal of an enlarged heart?
A92141Then must we not pray till me first find Christ?
A92141They accuse their own stupidity, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, did not our heart burn?
A92141They perceive her in a passion, and they meet her with a sort of passion, What is your Beloved?
A92141They tempted him, and provoked him; but, when?
A92141Thou wilt say, why doth he yet find fault?
A92141Though in this or that act of breathing there shine absolute liberty; for who hired the Lord to moisten the withered tree?
A92141Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary; who is so great a Lord, as our God?
A92141To what end should we speak to God of the sincerity of heavenly dispositions and fixedness of heart?
A92141V. Whether or not the Lord''s withdrawing of his influences and impressions of grace doth acquit and free us of guiltiness?
A92141WHether or no doth our impotency to pray and believe clear and justifie us, in that we believe not and pray not?
A92141We complain of circumstances which are well timed by infinite wisedone: should sickness and botches come upon Job, when poverty had gone before?
A92141We sport, yea doe not we laugh and mock at a Godhead, or at the word of a hell?
A92141Well, does the Spirit breathe on Christs holy anger?
A92141Were there no graves in Egypt?
A92141Were there not some godly who might think Daniel needed not cry his prayers out at his window?
A92141What Prophet was fourty dayes in the mount with the Lord, and eat not, but Moses?

A92141What connexion is there betwixt Saul''s journey in seeking his fathers asses, and Samuel''s anointing him King of Israel?
A92141What could the powerful influences of God Creator separated from Christ the treasure- house of love and mercy doe to us?
A92141What debt is this; who of Angels or men can pay the hire of free love to Christ?
A92141What did not all the Prophets convince the world of sinful unbelief?
A92141What doe they who curse the day, the stars, the twilight, the birth?
A92141What enlargedness of heart is, and the branches thereof?
A92141What hast thou to doe to pray?
A92141What hath the Gospel done to you?
A92141What have we to doe with Christ?

A92141What shall I say?
A92141What shall beget a holy disposition to pray?
A92141What the straitning is?
A92141What the unrenewed and the renewed can do in the respective dead condition at the use of means?
A92141What then is the fountain cause of gracious influences and breathings of the Spirit?
A92141What then shall be done to be free of the indisposition of straitning, and so to get influences of enlargement of heart?
A92141What then shall they doe?
A92141What then?
A92141What then?
A92141What then?
A92141What though he will not feast me with the apples of the tree of life, and suspend his comforts?
A92141What wants David then that a glorified and perfected man hath?
A92141What warrant to complain that all from the womb have not the same influences of grace which the Lord graciously bestowed on John Baptist?
A92141What warrant to desire the extraordinary removal of sin original by annihilation?

A92141When shall we lay the Lords glory to heart, and do things from the soul?
A92141When the spirit breathes not, and influences are restrained, what wonder if the soul be deadned?
A92141When ye fasted, did ye at all fast unto me?

A92141Where is this wide promise and Covenant to be found in Scripture?
A92141Where the spirit of grace joynes no influences of saving grace, can you call that speaking to God a work of saving grace?

A92141Wherefore hidest thou thy face?
A92141Whether David might promise and undertake to run, upon the supposal of an enlarged heart granted him of God?
A92141Whether David was now under straitning, that he so speaks?

A92141Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?

A92141Will the Vnicorn be willing to serve thee?
A92141Would the Objector relish prayers without influences of grace?
A92141Would ye have washed Christ''s feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of your head?
A92141Yet if I had the grace of David, I would not do as many doe: what is that?
A92141You lay much weight on the quality and worth of prayer, when you say we must first find Christ, before we can pray to him?
A92141and are loves coales so hot?
A92141and are ye the dried up fig- tree, and withered up by the root, neither leaves nor fruit?
A92141and did not ye drink for your selves?
A92141and does not this make man and nature to make God a debtor?
A92141and especially to sadden the King in the act of sealing your Writs and Evidences of Heaven, is not this dreadful?
A92141and first physically act upon the hands to lift them up?
A92141and hardened our hearts from thy fear?
A92141and he doubles the word, that so he may the more convince them, even for me?
A92141and if Omnipotency were separated from the promises of the Gospel, could it save us, in the Lord''s way?
A92141and if ye salute your brethren only( not your enemies also) what do ye more then others?

A92141he that died to purchase the spirit, shall he not carry on the work of redemption, by applying it, and carrying on of what he hath begun?
A92141his will is as himself: then do we reject God''s calling, and eternally perish, because God so doth will?

A92141is not this against free love?
A92141is not this paradise come down from heaven?
A92141is not this to chase him away?
A92141is the Lord too strict?
A92141know ye his strength and his mighty puls that have translated many?

A92141nay what need were there then of watching?
A92141or 2. the constraining love of Christ?
A92141or 3. bonds and ties laid on you by the free grace of Christ, and the state you are in, being now translated from death to life?
A92141or abide by thy cribs?
A92141or can a dead corps in the grave rise and slay the souldiers?
A92141or can the Spirit dwell and act in that soul which abhors God and the spirit of God and his operations?
A92141or did the gift and vain- glory in you, or the spirit in you?
A92141or for the fire to cast heat, or the Sun to yield light?
A92141or loose the bands of Orion?

A92141or wilt thou not live?
A92141shall birds ever have Summer- singing again?
A92141shall the work lie?
A92141should it not be a wrong to all, and a wrong to Jesus Christ, and a wrong to free will, if such a meritorious purchase of grace be made to all?
A92141so that it the Vine- tree had wit and reason, it could not make a question, will the husband- man care for me?
A92141there is not a promise made that all that sail shall bring home rich ships full of gold; what then?
A92141this is the free dispensation of the only wise God to standing and to falling Angels and Men, and who can judge God or find him out in this?
A92141were not this a proud tempting of God?
A92141were the element of water, which is so excellent and useful, turned into blood, how unpleasant would it be to drink of it?
A92141what a carnal mind is this that chaseth the Almighty God out of the world?

A92141who hath resisted his will?
A92141who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
A92141why are they called by nature the heirs of wrath?
A92141why bestows he not as much saving influences on me, as on David, Moses, Noah, Job, and Daniel?
A92141why do they eat, drink, sleep, hear?
A92141why doth he not blame his own Decree?)
A92141why not as much grace, and of the fulness of the anointing, as upon the man Christ, that holy thing, Jesus?
A92141why was this man born blind?
A92141why weep I?
A92141will he delve, and dresse, and purge me, that I may bring forth more fruit?
A92141will it be welcomed and received?

A47542I have found a Ransom: Where did God find it?
A47542If Believers do perish, what will become of the Promises of God, nay, of the Oath of God?

A47542If none saved but such that are elected, what need any look after Salvation?
A47542If so, what will you do at the Day of Death, and in the Day of Judgment?

A47542Is Christ able to preserve his Souse, or the Soul that is united unto him?
A47542Is Communion with Christ on Earth worth nothing?
A47542Is God able, think you, to delight, to rejoice, and to fill the Souls of his Saints with Joy and Pleasure?
A47542Is God through the Death of his Son reconciled, and shall all that take hold of him be justified?
A47542Is Sin that which afflicts, wounds and grieves your Spirit?
A47542Is any Man able perfectly to keep the Law?
A47542Is he not Merciful, because he is Just as well as Gracious?
A47542Is he unjust in giving effectual Grace to some, because he doth not bestow it upon all?
A47542Is his Power greater than the Power of Satan?
A47542Is it Gain to lose that?
A47542Is it in the Eternal Purpose of his Will that all should be saved?
A47542Is it in the Power of his Hands?
A47542Is it meet that the Holy God should strike before he threatens, or not shoot off his Warning- Piece before he lets fly his Murdering- Piece?
A47542Is it not plainly foretold, that the Messiah should be cut off, but not for himself?
A47542Is it not said, If ye abide in me, and my Words abide in you?
A47542Is it so great, so glorious, and shall we not mind it above all things?
A47542Is it some Temporary Act of his, whereby he hath declared himself unto them?
A47542Is my Hand shortned at all that it can not redeem?
A47542Is not his Satisfaction more than enough?
A47542Is not that Salvation business of the greatest Moment of all, that is so great, so sweet, so rich, so admirable, and so free and easy to be obtained?
A47542Is not that a base and for did Principle in a Servant or Subject, to do nothing but for meer Self- profit and Advantage?
A47542Is not the Carnal Mind enmity against God, having in it an utter Averseness and Moral Impotency to do that which is spiritually Good?
A47542Is not this Doctrine a Legal Doctrine, or a legal way of preaching, to insist so much upon the Threatnings of Wrath and Divine Vengeance?
A47542Is not this a better Ground of Faith, than that of Christ''s dying for all?
A47542Is the Wrath of God so terrible, and can no Unbeliever or impenitent Sinner escape it; what cause is here for them all to tremble?
A47542Is there any Creature or Thing that is Mortal, which Man can not kill, or deprive it of Life?
A47542Is there any hope that such Sinners as we may be forgiven, and be saved?
A47542Is there in the Hearts of Sinners naturally Enmity against God?
A47542Is this possible?
A47542Is this the Doctrine of general Love which they will have to be in God to Mankind?
A47542Is this to exalt the Lord alone, or to raise and sing the Praises of our Beloved David?
A47542It is God that justifieth, who shall condemn us?
A47542It was therefore hereby that we lost God''s Love and Favour, and is not that a dismal and most bitter thing?
A47542Let me exhort you to admire the Love of Christ in coming to work out this Salvation: What hath he born and undergon to save our Souls?
A47542Lo, here is one of them for whom thou gavest thy Son to die, whom thou hast left to me, and I have destroyed him for ever?
A47542May be you cry out, your State is sad; but what think you of your Sin which is the Cause of it?
A47542May he not say, did ye suspect or fear you were not elected?
A47542May not Believers, who are Christ''s Sheep, be beguiled, so as to receive some capital Errors, or an Error in some fundamental Point?
A47542May not Cry out, Fire, Fire?
A47542May not a true Believer make a Breach upon a good Conscience, by falling into Temptation?
A47542May we not stand amazed, and wonder at the long- suffering and forbearance of God?
A47542Men are ignorant and unsensible of their States and Conditions: Are we blind also?
A47542Moreover Sin feeds Men poorly: How do they feed?
A47542Moreover, are there not in this floor others who are proud, earthly, carnal and covetous Persons?
A47542Moreover, none can condemn such that God justifieth, because it is Christ that died: Hath not his Death Worth and Merit enough in it?
A47542Must God by these Men be deemed to have no Mercy at all, because he seeks the Honour of his Justice equally with the Glory of his Mercy?
A47542Must not that Salvation be of highest Moment, that the Son of God in his own Person, came from Heaven to preach and make known to Men on Earth?
A47542Must not that Salvation needs be our great and chiefest Business to mind and seek after, that is so full, so comprehensive, perfect and compleat?
A47542Must not that be minded before all things, that God in Eternity( as I may so say) held a Council about the actual accomplishment of?
A47542Must not that needs be our only Business to look after, that Christ shed his most precious Blood to procure?
A47542My Soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
A47542Nay, and also what Knowledg have they attained of the God of Nature?
A47542Nay, and in respect of God himself, it must needs appear to be wholly of Grace; could Redemption of Man add any thing to the essential Glory of God?
A47542Nay, art thou willing to part with that Interest thou hast in Christ, and in this Salvation?
A47542Nay, doth not Christ himself cry to you after this manner, Wilt thou continue in thy Sin, and neglect the Salvation I have purchased?
A47542Nay, shall Christ''s repeated Calls, Wooings, and Intreaties, be not regarded, who spreadeth forth his Hands all the Day long?
A47542No Doctrine tends to promote Gospel Holiness like the Doctrine of Gods Free- Grace: Shall we sin because grace hath abounded?
A47542None can be so weak sure to assert that; for who shall resist God''s Will, or withstand God''s absolute Design, Purpose and Intention?
A47542Now Sirs, what think you of this; is there any reason for you to believe God will suffer either of these things to be done?
A47542Now are all Men redeemed?
A47542Now can Christ cease being an Elect Head?
A47542Now dare any go about, through their great Ignorance, to charge God with Perjury?
A47542Now if it be demanded who are the Sheep of Christ?
A47542Now is it not easy for any Man from hence to draw an Argument, that the Elect can not fall finally away, so as to perish?
A47542Now this being done by us, and for us in our Head, can we henceforth die any more?
A47542Now were it thus, as these Men affirm, then how is Christ rendred, even more weak and inconsiderate than any Man of Understanding?
A47542Now what are the Enemies, the most dangerous Enemies of the Spouse of Christ?
A47542Now what daring Men are they who say, they may come into Condemnation that do believe?
A47542Now what is Election, but a chusing some out of others?
A47542Now when they heard this they were pricked in the Heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, What shall we do?
A47542Now who is it that dares to affirm, that Christ did not die and satisfy for all the Sins of Believers, or for his Elect Ones?
A47542Now, pray, are not these words to be taken with restriction?
A47542O Death, where is thy Sting?
A47542O Grave, where is thy Victory?
A47542O House of David,( saith the Prophet) is it a small thing for you to weary Men, but will you weary my God also?
A47542O Souls, will you crucify Christ again?
A47542O bless God for the least degree of saving Grace: Have you love to God, to his poor Saints?
A47542O how many Years have some of you grieved both the Father and the Son,( to speak after the manner of Men) and is not this a great Evil?
A47542O my Friends, how great is the Love of Christ to one poor, lost, and undone Sinner?
A47542O of what Moment is the Salvation of our Souls?
A47542O saith a poor Believer, what have I done?
A47542O see to it, and examine your selves; Do you not rest upon something or another short of Christ?
A47542O shall not the Judg and King of Heaven and Earth do right?
A47542O that is a blessed Sign: Do you love God, love his People?
A47542O then receive this Salvation, here is a Prince, nay the Prince of the Kings of the Earth, that desires your Love; will you accept of this Offer?
A47542O what a shame is it to be afraid, when you have such a Friend, such a Keeper, such a Shepherd to protect, feed, and keep you?
A47542O what is Sin, and how miserable is the Condition of Sinners?
A47542O what is the Evil of Sin?
A47542O what is the Love, the Care and Faithfulness of God?
A47542O what is the Natural Life of the Body, to the Eternal Life of the Soul?
A47542O what will you do in the day of Gods Wrath if ye are Chaff, or but counterfeit Christians?
A47542O who shall stand when God appears in the latter- Day- Judgments which are now just at the Door?
A47542O wretched Man that I am, who shall deliver me from the Body of Sin and Death?
A47542Of how much sorer Punishment suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Blood of the Son of God?
A47542On whom is the Wrath of God denounced, or what kind of Sinners shall undergo it?
A47542Or Sinner, dost thou want a broken Heart, dost thou want a penitent Heart?
A47542Or are not all Men naturally under the Power of the Prince of Darkness, he taking them Captive at his Will?
A47542Or could he not have created other Creatures to have shewed forth his glorious Perfections?
A47542Or did Christ take more care of the Members of his Natural Body, than of the Members of his Mystical Body?
A47542Or do they not much more animate him to fight couragiously?
A47542Or do you think Christ will fail in his Care and Faithfulness, who is their great Shepherd, Sponsor, Surety, or Trustee?
A47542Or do you want Comfort?
A47542Or do you want a Shepherd to feed you, a King to rule you, a Priest to sacrifice and make an Atonement for you, a Prophet to teach you?
A47542Or does not God look upon us, or count us in him so to be?
A47542Or doth it not refer to all that are in him, or given to him, or all his true spiritual Seed?
A47542Or hath any Man the true Grace of God, and yet not as the Result of God''s Purpose from Eternity?
A47542Or how shall you that hear it preached escape if you neglect it?
A47542Or is he stronger than that strong Man armed?
A47542Or is it an Antecedent Desire that it should be so, though he fails in the End?
A47542Or is this Gospel, to say, you shall perish eternally, and have the Fire of Hell seven times heated, if you obey not this Gospel?
A47542Or shall Sin or the Devil pull Limb from Limb, and he look on?
A47542Or shall his Love be so great in begetting Grace, or in infusing Grace, and no more Love shewed in keeping and preserving that Grace in their Souls?
A47542Or should he suffer it, would not all say that he was a cruel and unmerciful Father, one that had no Love, no natural Affections to his poor Child?
A47542Or that there is no ground left in the Word for us to believe they were saved?
A47542Or was he obliged to save us, and that he might do it, to send his own Son to die, and be made a Curse for us?
A47542Or what Communion hath Light with Darkness?
A47542Or what Concord hath Christ with Belial?
A47542Or, who hath felt and experienced the powerful Influences of his Spirit, and saving Grace thereof, on their Souls?
A47542Others hear it, but do not believe it: Who hath believed our Report?
A47542Ought we not to prefer that Salvation before all things, that delivers us from the greatest Evil, the Plague of all Plagues?
A47542Our Souls at Death depart, and they go to Christ: What is Joy and Peace in Christ, to Joy, Peace and Consolation with Christ?
A47542P. 212. l. 27. r. whosoever hath that efficacious, 〈 ◊ 〉, 〈 ◊ 〉- transforming, Soul- renewing,& c. P. 213. l. 26. dele sooner than Flesh?
A47542Pray what is that which is absent from the Lord whilst it is at home in the Body, is it not the Soul?
A47542Pray, what Difference is there between these Mens Doctrine, and that of the Papists?
A47542Said a godly man, this is a humbling dispensation that you are exercised under — A humbling dispensation, said he, do you call it?
A47542Saith a Believer, Is Sin hateful to God?
A47542Satan stirs up Men to slight and neglect this so great Salvation: Is it not sad that Men should adhere to the grand Enemy of their Souls?
A47542Say you so, is Sin your Sickness, is Sin your Sorrow?
A47542Secondly, Doth this Will equally respect the All intended, or doth it not?
A47542Secondly, What Pastures doth Christ feed his Sheep in?
A47542See in what a Pickle the Mind and Will of Man naturally is in: What can a Sinner not do, if the Doctrine of sore Men were true?
A47542Shall Eternal Death have Dominion over us?
A47542Shall God''s Justice be eclipsed, shall his Honour be marr''d, his Goodness be despised, his Law be violated, his Holiness stained?
A47542Shall a Child be taken off from his Duty, or be remiss in serving his Father, because his Father tells him he shall never be disinherited?
A47542Shall all in Heaven contemplate it, and not we?
A47542Shall any Enemy of the Soul bring Christ under a Disappointment?
A47542Shall any change God''s Mind, or render his Thoughts liable to Alteration?
A47542Shall he be at the expence of his Blood to buy it,( as one notes) and spare his Power to secure it?
A47542Shall he come secretly on his Enemies before he tells them of their danger?
A47542Shall he condemn that in his Creatures which he allows in himself?
A47542Shall he rebel against his Soveraign?
A47542Shall he slight an Interest in Christ, and not know it will be his ruin in another World?
A47542Shall not the Love of God overcome thee?
A47542Shall not the Majesty of God the great Law- giver be feared?
A47542Shall the Sinner cast Di ● t in the Face of God, and not be told of it?
A47542Shall there be Joy in Heaven this Day?
A47542Simon, Son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
A47542Sin can not be done away without an infinite Price: What Influence could the Blood of Beasts have to take away Sin?
A47542Sinner, what sayst thou?
A47542Sinners, are you bound in strong Chains, and in the Prison- house?
A47542Sinners, are you dead, dead in Sins and Trespasses?
A47542Sinners, are you polluted, defiled with Sin, and filthy in God''s sight?
A47542Sinners, have you hard and rocky Hearts, Hearts of Stone, even as hard as the nether Milstone?
A47542Sinners, will you not enquire where Christ feeds?
A47542Sinners, with what Awe and holy Trembling should you attend on the Word of this Salvation, that began first to be spoken by the Lord?
A47542Sirs, Jesus Christ who was rich, that he might accomplish the Salvation of our Souls, became poor; May not this affect our Hearts?
A47542So then this is the Sum, In Holiness and all good Works we act and do; But how?
A47542Some said with a whispering Voice that he was possessed; he over- hearing it, said, Do ye doubt it?
A47542Suppose, Brethren, there was some other Way to be saved than by Christ, yet is it not meet that the Creature comply with the Will of his Creator?
A47542That Redemption that is by Christ, is( you hear) from all Iniquity; and are all so redeemed?
A47542That all Mankind, before Grace is infused into the Soul, are dead: What short of Almighty Power can raise the Dead to Life?
A47542That which was so seasonable, and when all hopes of Relief and Help was gone?
A47542That will be the Time when God will make the Power of his Wrath and Anger known: Who( saith the Psalmist) knows the Power of thine Anger?
A47542The Apostle clearly confirms the same great Truths; Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death?
A47542The Conscience in a fearful manner shall torment the damned: May we not conclude Conscience will terrifie them after this manner?
A47542The Cross makes many lose the Crown; but, Brethren, had Jesus Christ refused the Cross, where had we been?
A47542The Devils cried, Why dost thou torment us before the Time?
A47542The Eunuch answered, How can I, unless some Man should guide me?
A47542The Flesh can not bring forth an Heavenly Babe: Can Corruption produce or be the Cause of Regeneration?
A47542The Soul is more worth than all the World: What shall it profit a Man to gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul?
A47542The Spouse from hence enquires of Christ where he feedeth, and where he maketh his Flock to rest at Noon?
A47542The Work of the Ministry is to open the Scripture; Vnderstandest thou what thou readest?
A47542They shall sit upon Thrones; Know ye not that the Saints shall judg the World?
A47542Thirdly what is meant by the Chaff?
A47542Thirdly, and lastly, What Comfort and Consolation doth this afford to all true Christians?
A47542This being all true, what is become of the Doctrine( or rather of the gross Error) of a final falling from a State of true Grace?
A47542This greatly raiseth the Honour of Believers: What greater Dignity can be conferred on us, than to be begotten and born of God?
A47542Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy Way; yet sayest thou not, There is no Hope?
A47542Though Co ● iah the Son of Jehojakim King of Judah were the Signet upon my right Hand, yet would I pluck thee thence?
A47542To talk of Christ''s Death, and see no Effects of it, alas, what''s that?
A47542To whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed?
A47542To you poor Sinners let me speak one word by way of Exhortation: Did God so early contrive our Salvation?
A47542Tremble you that slight or neglect the great Salvation of the Gospel: Will you say that Jesus Christ can not save you, or is not willing to save you?
A47542True, some things you must part with, whoever you are, that will have a part in this Salvation: But what is that?
A47542Tush, our State is good enough, we can repent hereafter: What is the Gospel but to do as we would be done unto?
A47542Tush, will God think you ever cast us into Hell for such small things as these, or throw us into a Furnace of Fire?
A47542Was God unjust in electing some of the Angels, because he passed by others of them?
A47542Was it possible for Christ not to abide in his Father''s Love?
A47542Was not Peter sent to him( and to those other Gentiles with him) that they might be converted?
A47542Was our Salvation so great, that he parted with his Life to procure it, and is it not worth your parting with your Sins to have an Interest in it?
A47542Was the Birth of Christ Matter of Joy in the Effects of it to Judas, and to the unbelieving Jews, and to many more?
A47542Was the Body of Christ, and the Body of that gracious Person that Day together in Paradise?
A47542Was the Wrath of God due to us let out upon him, that we might never feel the weight thereof?
A47542Was there a Council held in Eternity about our Salvation?
A47542Well what of this?
A47542Well, but what are the Characters of those happy Souls?
A47542Well, what is that which God hath sworn by his Holiness, and will not lie to do for David, the true David, that is his own beloved Son?
A47542Well, what of that?
A47542Well, what of this?
A47542Were any ever damned that did what they could in the use of all Means under the Light of the Gospel, to be saved?
A47542What Act it is of God wherein this his Willingness doth consist?
A47542What Advantage brings Christ''s Death, to abrogate one perfect Law, and establish another?
A47542What Fellowship hath Righteousness with Vnrighteousness?
A47542What Man that has a Principle of Honesty or of Morality, will deceive or fail such a One, after he hath taken the sole Care and Charge of him?

A47542What Reason can be assigned, that all they whom God equally intended Salvation for by Christ, have it not?
A47542What Shepherd ever loved his Sheep as Christ loved his?
A47542What Shepherd ever thus loved his Sheep, even to be wounded and bruised for them, to heal them of their Wounds with his own Stripes?
A47542What Treasure hath he spent,( as I may say)?
A47542What Wisdom do such despise, what Goodness do they disregard, what infinite Love and Patience do they abuse that neglect this Salvation?
A47542What Work is it then?
A47542What a kind of Sin is the Sin against the Holy Ghost?
A47542What a kind of such were they?
A47542What are all these things but Fancies, vain Dreams?

A47542What can the Natural or the Moral Philosopher do, as to the comprehending, finding out, or demonstrating the Nature of Christ''s Love?

A47542What did the Soul of the Prodigal find?
A47542What do you say, shall the Son of God stand at your Doors, and you not so much as ask, Who is there?

A47542What doth Eternal Life import?
A47542What doth it signify to believe Christ died for all, unless thou findest the Effects of his Death in thee?

A47542What is it but a breathing forth of the highest Disdain on the Wisdom of God?
A47542What is it, I pray you, that tends more to bring Honour to God in the World, than that Grace which he hath infused into the Hearts of his People?
