A35343He was with child, he was in pain and travel, and hath he brought forth nothing but wind, hath he been delivered of the Eastwind?
A35343Is God powerfull to kill and to destroy, to damne and to torment, and is he not powerfull to save?
A35343Is it that pleasant child?
A35343Is that great designe that was so long carried in the Wombe of Eternity, now proved abortive, or else nothing but a mere windy birth?
A35343No; hear the language of Gods heart, heare the sounding of his bowels towards them: Is it Ephraim my dear sonne?
A35343Nothing but a cruell and dreadfull Erynnis, with curled fiery Snakes about his head, and Firebrands in his hands, thus governing the World?
A35343Or is it another damping, choaking, stifling Opinion, That Christ hath done all for us already without us, and nothing need more to be done within us?
A35343Say not in thins heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?
A35343Shall God come down from heaven,& pitch a Tabernacle amongst men?
A35343Shall not the Kingdome of Light, be as true to its own Interest, and as vigilant for the enlarging of it self, as the Kingdome of Darknesse?
A35343What is it that doth thus bedwarfe us in our Christianity?
A35343What is it that thus cheats us and gulls us of our Religion?
A35343What shall we then make the God of the whole World?
A35343What then?
A35343Why may we not as well be satisfied, and contented, to have Happinesse without us too to all Eternity, and so our selves forever continue miserable?
A35343or do they not rather skulk in holes of darknesse, and flie like Bats and Owls, before the approching beams of this Sun of Righteousnesse?
A35343that is, with high speculations to bring down Christ from thence: or, Who shall descend into the abysse beneath?
A65266And Pilate sayth unto them, Shall I crucifie your King?
A65266And upon that ground Euthymius makes an ironie of his quaestion, wherein, he sayth, Pilate rather mockes at Christ, then reproacheth the Jewes: What?
A65266Are not all things poore and beggarlie about him?
A65266Doth modest shame discover it selfe in a gentle blush,& passe away like the dawing of the morne?
A65266Doth sorrow sigh and sob it in a corner, or whisper in the secrecie of a wood?
A65266Et quando percussistis nisi quando clamâtis crucifige?
A65266From a broken reed[ taken out of the water] and put into his hand for a Scepter?
A65266From a few th ● enes,[ gathered out of a hedge by the highway side] and platted into a diademe to crowne him?
A65266How doth he preferre before them the oxe and the asse, the one for knowing his owner and the other his masters crib?
A65266Pilate sayth unto them, Shall I crucifie your King?
A65266Shall I crucife your King?
A65266Shall I crucifie your King?
A65266Shall I crucifie your King?
A65266The learned Grotius takes the clause with the Ecce to be in reproach, but of what?
A65266Vnde occidistis?
A65266What?
A65266Where is he that is borne King of the Iewes?
A65266Will you heare me a word SIR?
A65266You that charge this man to have taken upon him the authoritie of King, where did he doe it?
A65266You that upon these& c. justlie built the beliefe you had, that he was the Sonne of David and your King, Is your great Hosanna turn''d to crncifige?
A65266and what is truth?

A43824And he was seen of Simon; here was the grace of Christ, he was seen of Simon; why, seen of Simon?
A43824Come, shall we go drink our mornings draught?
A43824Finally my Brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of hus might: Be strong, good reason for it: but where lies the strength?
A43824I am going to a Sermon, Who preaches?
A43824If one should come and ask you, Wither are you going this morning, brother, or sister?
A43824Lord thou knowest I love thee; Peter doest thou love me more then all these?
A43824Moses saw him that was invisible?
A43824No comparative words now, not a tittle, no more, then, Lord, thou knowest I love thee, Peter, doest thou love me?
A43824The possibility of this; how is it possible that Jesus Christs strength should be conveyed to us, that we should make anothers strength, our strength?
A43824To what effectuall purpose is this, for the Saints to be at cost and charges to learne this skill?
A43824What shall we rest upon then?
A43824What will the Army do?
A43824What will the Parliament do to day?

A04429And hath indeed my learned Authour t ● rmed them Ceremonialists?
A04429But if the Scripture enforce it, and the Canon require it, why is neither the Pastor, nor the Parishioner, more sharply entreated in this behalfe?
A04429But now wher ● s their Science?
A04429Doe we not pray in his name?
A04429Doe we not preach in his name?
A04429For doe we reverence the person for the name- sake?
A04429How far then reacheth the command of the Canon in this case?
A04429I desired of them to know why they would not use the Booke of Common prayer in the worship of God?
A04429In the second place, they presse us with the Authoritie of the Scripture; what Scripture?
A04429Is not the generall externall reverence expressed in having our Heads uncovered in time of Service and Sermon?
A04429Is not this a token of our subjection to the Lord Iesus Christ?
A04429It prescribes only due and lowly reverence in generall, How is that?
A04429Nay ought they not, whensoeyer they thinke of this Name, bow the knee?
A04429Now first, who will understand that this due reverence is to be done, only in time of Divine Service, and not also of the Sermon?
A04429O[fwod?].
A04429Or where is their conscience?
A04429Or, is there more vertue, than in the name Christ?
A04429So then we being in the Church with our heads uncovered, in time of prayer and preaching; Is not this a due and lowly reverenca?
A04429Thirdly, the Canon wills due reverence to the Lord Jesus, and who so imprudent, so impious, as to denie it?
A04429Thorp?
A04429Why?
A04429Would they force or streine the CANON beyond the due limites?
A04429Yea, I say, during the time of prayer and preaching; For, is it not all done in the name of Iesus Christ?
A04429], Reprinted[ Amsterdam?
A04429or the name for the person- sake?
A04429who prescribes bovving or doffing, or the like particular reverence, or gesture?
A094721. what then shall we sinne that grace may abound?
A09472Againe: Who shall condemne vs?
A09472And for the better cōceiuing of it, we are to consider what the resurrection of Christ is?
A09472And it will the better be conceiued by the answering of three questions: What shall ceafe in this estate?
A09472But I demaund of the Patrons of this doctrine; whether, when the workes of preparation are done, the doer is in Christ or out of Christ?
A09472But how are they losses?
A09472But where may we find a sufficient paiment for this debt?
A09472For the better clearing of this doctrine, two points are to be handled: When Christ is our gaine?
A09472If nature affoard thus much: why may not the like be found in the coniuction that is aboue nature?
A09472It is a priuiledge to be of the kindred of our Sauiour Christ, but it is of no moment: for Christ saith, Who is my mother and brethren?
A09472The first is, According to what nature is Christ our gaine?
A09472The first is, what are the sufferings of Christ?
A09472The fourth or last point is, when and howe long faith alone iustifieth?
A09472The last point is, Wherein stāds the resurrection of Christ?
A09472The next point to be handled is, How Christ is our gaine?
A09472The next question is, in what estate Christ is our Gaine?
A09472The second point is, For whome he rose?
A09472The second point to be considered is, How faith is a meanes to iustifie?
A09472The second question is, what we shal haue and inioye in this estate?
A09472The third point is, When he arose?
A09472The third point is, whether faith alone be the meanes to obtaine the iustice of Christ for vs or no?
A09472The third question is, what we shall doe?
A09472What is the fault of the foolish virgins?
A09472What this faith is?
A09472What we shall doe?
A09472What we shall haue?
A09472When and howe long it is the onely meanes?
A09472and how?
A09472and what is the vertue thereof?
A09472howe it is a meanes to obaine iustice?
A09472whereto serues it?
A09472whether alone by it selfe, or by the helpe of other vertues?
A53922By what means or wherein doth a beleeving soul grow up with Christ?
A53922How are Faith and sanctification confirmed and increased?
A53922How doth it appear that God is so glorious?
A53922How doth the Lord work this Faith in the soul by his mighty power, and how comes the soul to know it is wrought?
A53922How great is it?
A53922How many Sacraments be there?
A53922How may a man come to receive Christ?
A53922How may we come to get this Christ to doe all for us?
A53922How must this be performed?
A53922How, and why must a man see and feel himself under this wrath and misery?
A53922Man being created in a most happy condition, wherein did his happinesse consist?
A53922Q What are you to know concerning the glorious condition of man by Creation?
A53922Q. Doth this any way concern us?
A53922Q. Wherein did mans happinesse further consist?
A53922Q. Wherein did the Image of God consist?
A53922Q. Wherein doth sanctification consist?
A53922Q. Wherein doth the aggraration of this wofull estate of man by nature appear?
A53922WHat is every one bound to know that looks to be saved?
A53922What are those?
A53922What benefits doth the soul immediatly enjoy by Vnion with Christ?
A53922What followes a beleevers Vnion with Christ?
A53922What is Adoption?
A53922What is Faith?
A53922What is Reconciliation?
A53922What is Regeneration?
A53922What is Vnion with Christ?
A53922What is a beleevers glorification?
A53922What is that happy condition that every one doth enjoy, who are thus in Christ by Faith?
A53922What is that miserable and lamentable estate that man is now fallen into?
A53922What is this called?
A53922What is to be known concerning faith, the only means of applying Christ?
A53922What is to be known of every one concerning Iesus Christ, the only means of deliverance out of this estate?
A53922What kinde of thankefulnesse and life is that which God requires of all them that be in this estate by Iesus Christ?
A53922What learn you by this?
A53922What learn you from hence?
A53922What learn you from hence?
A53922What ought you to know and beleeve concerning God?
A53922What ought you to know and beleeve concerning his work of creation?
A53922What ought you to know and beleeve concerning man?
A53922What ought you to know and beleeve concerning the work of providence?
A53922When may a man without presumption receive Christ as his own?
A53922can man create Faith in himself to receive him, or must the Lord by an infinite almighty power work it in him?
A01747And further, see you not in euerie thing a bodie, a spirite and a life, which is the knot betweene them?
A01747And how is Faith sayd to bee the gift of God?
A01747And why ought this to seeme strange?
A01747And why?
A01747Beleeue you the Scripture?
A01747But how thē commeth it to passe, that all men haue not Faith?
A01747But you will say, Is not the Holy Ghost a Beginner vnto any other?
A01747Can you now confer this Scripture with that place, I haue said ye are Gods, and not be ashamed?
A01747For is not this world as a booke wherein wee may reade and vnderstand by the created trueths, what is the Trueth which is increated?
A01747For tell mee without selfe- liking, what sound iudgement doth this argue, to be driuen about with euery wind of doctrine?
A01747How is that?
A01747I graunt there is Prioritie among the persons of the Godhead; but of what kinde?
A01747I will make a comparison vnmeet for the matter of which I speake; for to whom shall wee assimulate the Highest?
A01747If these things were not so; how thē could the Gentiles which knew not the Scriptures, he without excuse for their ignorance of God?
A01747Is Iohns authoritie sufficient?
A01747Now how could he do this, if he knew him not?
A01747Or rather, see you not how the very bodily composition is both one, and three?
A01747See you not how the vnderstanding?
A01747The Iewes vnderstood, that hee herein professed himselfe to be very GOD: and are you his enemie more then they?
A01747What bringing vp?
A01747What if there want perfection?
A01747What shall I cyte vnto you that of the second Pslam?
A01747You wil say, To what purpose then serue the Scriptures?
A01747You will againe obiect, that Eternitie hath no beginning nor ending: how then can Christ be both eternall and begun?
A01747and how againe can he be equall to the Father, whereas hee beeing begotten of the Father, the Father hath a prioritie before him?
A01747and how is hee said to leade vs into all trueth,& c?
A01747doth not God require that perfectiō at mans hand wherein he did create him?
A01747how is he then the Authour of our consolation?
A01747one body which is vnited of three bodies?
A01747the Sun- light also, is one in nature, and yet three in euident and cleare distinction?
A18375And did Christ shed drops of bloud for our sins,& can not wee shed one teare for the same?
A18375And now to begin with those things which went before his Crosse: may wee not thinke his suffering was exceeding great, when he sweat bloud?
A18375And the suffering in both was so great, that he cried aloude, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A18375And what a terrour was this?
A18375And what an hell thinke we was Christ in, when he prayed thrise most feruently, to haue that bitter Cuppe passe from him?
A18375And would not those enemies, so many in number, so mightie in power, so terrible to behold, make a man to feare, to tremble, and to sweate?
A18375But did Iudas repent?
A18375But to Iudas againe: What will you giue me, and I will deliuer him vnto you?
A18375But was this the end of this?
A18375But what did his money him good, when he had lost Christ, lost Heauen, lost his Soule, and damned himselfe?
A18375But what is it to eate the flesh of Christ?
A18375But what will not the desire of money doe?
A18375For what destruction can come to them which are ingraffed into Christ the author of saluation?
A18375He confessed him a iust man: why then did he giue sentence on him?
A18375He cried, with aloude voice he cried, vnto heauen he cried, as one forlorne he cried: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A18375Here is Iudas for an example: one of Christs Apostles, and of his houshold( as I may say) one that asked, Master, is it I?
A18375How can the second death take hold on them that haue their part in the first resurrection, and are in Christ the life it selfe?
A18375I will lend you a summe, but what will you giue me for interest?
A18375I will let you a piece of land, but what will you giue me for a good fine?
A18375Iudas tooke part with the Iewes, Iudas betraied Christ, Iudas damned himselfe, and all for what will you giue me?
A18375Iudas was a double fellow, hee had one question to Christ, another to the Iewes: to Christ, Master, is it I?
A18375My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee?
A18375The third question is, whether all they are damned which put Christ to death?
A18375These things Christ did behold, nay did suffer, and the paine did make him crie aloude: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A18375This question of Iudas for the first part is very rife in the world at these dayes: I will doe you a pleasure, but what wil you giue me for my paines?
A18375What a matter was this, Barrabas to be preferred before Christ?
A18375What say I drops of bloud?
A18375What terrour was this?
A18375What thing more grieuous, then day and night to carry about such a witnesse, Iudge, Tormenter, and prison?
A18375What villany was this?
A18375What will you giue me( said IVDAS) and I will deliuer him vnto you?
A18375a murtherer let goe and an innocent person scourged?
A18375but to the Iewes, what will you giue me, and I will deliuer him vnto you?
A30350Another Difficulty follows close upon this, which is, In what Church this Infallibility is to be found?
A30350Century, how shall he know that he must seek the Infallibility in the Roman Communion, and that he can not find it in his own?
A30350If Liberty and Religion are valuable things; and if they are not, what is valuable?
A30350In all Constitutions among men, the most evident thing is this, Where rests the Supreme Authority of that Constitution?
A30350It is also probable, that by Elders or Presbyters, are to be meant those to whom that name was afterwards appropriated; why then are they shut out?
A30350Must he pretend to be wiser than all the Doctors of their Law, or the Conveyers of their Traditions to them?
A30350Must he set up his Skill and Reason above theirs?
A30350Must he take upon him to judge so intricate a Controversy?
A30350Must this Council consist of all the Bishops of the Christian Church?
A30350Now if all the other promises were to descend thus, why not this of being led into all Truth, as well as the rest?
A30350Now the only Question that will remain, will be, How far must this go?
A30350Now what are the Provisions against Sin?
A30350Now what was a private Iew to do?
A30350There was a Controversy between the Apostles and the Sanhedrim, whether Iesus was the Messias, or not?
A30350Therefore when this was the point, Whether they had seen or heard such or such things?
A30350Whither can we fly for shelter, or where can we promise our selves either Retreat or Relief?
A30350Who then shall decide these Controversies, and expound those Decrees?
A30350because the Scriptures affirm it; and why do you believe the Scriptures?
A6047112. and done justly, and loved Mercy, and walked humbly with God?
A6047115. Who is he that overcometh the World, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
A6047126. and lived soberly, and righteously, and godlily in this present World?
A60471And that the Son of Man has given his Life a Ransom for many?
A60471And unto which of the Angels said God at any time, Sit thou on my right hand?
A60471At that great Solemnity the Inquiry will not be, What had you in the World?
A60471Can he give Power to Believers to become the Sons of God?
A60471Has he Power to judg the World?
A60471Has he Power to raise from the dead?
A60471Have you clothed the Naked?
A60471Have you fed the Hungry?
A60471Have you renounced the Lust of the Flesh, the Lust of the Eye, and the Pride of Life?
A60471Have you visited the Sick?
A60471How could he be before David, when''t was out of David''s Posterity that God raised up Jesus according to his Promise?
A60471How could he have a Being before Abraham, since''t is declared he was of the Seed of Abraham?
A60471How then could we be saved by Free Grace?
A60471Is he able to save the World?
A60471Will it make me love and honour God better?
A60471Will it make the Service which I render to his Divine Majesty a more reasonable Service?
A60471and by whom shall we render Thanks to God?
A60471and how could our Sins be said to be forgiven?
A60471but what good Deeds have you done therein?
A60471how has your Care been to promote the Universal Good of rational Beings?
A60471or what did you profess?
A60471who shall be our Intercessor, our Advocate, our Mediator?
A42901And are you not afraid to meet with the same prohibition he did?
A42901And must a Manger be thy Cradle?
A42901And now, as I said, that he has given us so incomparable a Sign of his Good Will and Pleasure, shall we not make hast with the Shepherds to Bethlehem?
A42901And what can be more Parallel to the devotion of the Shepherds in my Text?
A42901And what follows then, but Ecce venio, Behold I come?
A42901And what greater Sign could he give us of his Love, than to give us that very Flesh to be our Food, which he had given for the Life of the World?
A42901And when shall we do it, if we do it not now?
A42901And when shall we put an End to this fatal Cheat, if we do it now?
A42901And why not for the Just Man also, if he can not be just without the Observance of it?
A42901And will you now leave them in the open Fields?
A42901Are you not afraid, that they may go astray in your absence, or the Wolves break in and devour them?
A42901But give me leave, devout Shepherds, to ask you, whither away so fast?
A42901But has God then given us 365 days in a year, and shall not we afford to give him one at least in the hundred?
A42901But how was this Great Design to be brought about?
A42901But was this all?
A42901By laying a Command on his Son to take our Nature upon him?
A42901O how different is this Comportment from that of these Kings and Shepherds?
A42901O ye sons of men, why are your hearts still possessed with this Error, now that the Son of God is come in the Flesh to teach you the true way of Life?
A42901O, when will you make an End of suffering your selves to be cheated with the Fallacious Maximes and Fashions of the world?
A42901Or finally, will they pretend, that they do not find themselves worthy to come oftner than once a year to this Divine Table?
A42901Shall we let this Holy Time pass over, or rather shall we Trifle it all away in Pastime and Merriment, without ever approaching to this Holy Table?
A42901That they can not, that is, will not leave their Sins?
A42901Ut quid diligitis vanitatem,& quaeritis mendacium?
A42901Was this the only End, why he was pleas''d to appear to us in this visible manner?
A42901Were not you keeping the watches of the Night over your Flocks?
A42901What moved the Wisemen of the East to undertake so long and dangerous a journey, to find out, and adore the New- born King of the Jews?
A42901What will they pretend for their excuse?
A42901Who would have thought to have found thee in a Manger of Beasts?
A42901Why will you set your affections upon vanity, and seek after a lye, meaning the transitory and deceitful goods of this world?
A42901Will they say they have no time?
A42901as the same H. Father saith, if they find themselves not worthy now, when will they make themselves so?
A42901who would have sought for thee in a little Hay or Straw?
A42901will it be easier to do it after Ten or Twelve months, than after One, or Two, or Three?
A5366914. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire, who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A53669And he said, who told thee that thou wast naked?
A53669And is it not strange, that true and real Sacrifices, should be Types and R presentations of that which was not so?
A53669And shall any dare to deny but it may be so, in things Heavenly, Divine, and Spiritual?
A53669And shall we think otherwise of the Law of God?
A53669And why a new sense should be forged for these words, when they are spoken concerning Christ, who can give a just reason?
A53669But do not these men see that they have hereby given away their Cause which they contend for?
A53669But first, I ask what Reason is it that they intend?
A53669But who was this Word?
A53669But why so I pray?
A53669But, Secondly, Where, or with whom, was this Word in the beginning?
A53669Can any thing be more absonant from Faith and Reason, than this absurd expression?
A53669D ● they say, that by his death he hare testimony unto, and confirmed the truth which he had taught?
A53669Do they say that in what he did, and su ● fered, he set us an Example that we should labour after conformity unto?
A53669Do they say, that he taught the Truth or revealed the whole mind and will of God concerning his Worship and our obedience?
A53669Doth he subsist only in the form or nature of God?
A53669For in their Catechism unto this Question, Is the Lord Jesus Christ, purus Homo, a meer man?
A53669For what is according to this Interpretation the meaning of those words, in the beginning was the Word?
A53669Fourthly, In this gloss what is the meaning of all things?
A53669Hast thou O Son, fallen under the Enemies hand in my stead; am I saved by thy wounds; do I live by thy death?
A53669Hast thou eaten of the Tree whreof I commandeded thee that then shouldst not eat?
A53669He that eateth it, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 shall bear his iniquities, How?
A53669How can three be one, and one be three?
A53669How then will these pretended Masters of Reason reconcile these things?
A53669How then?
A53669How?
A53669If a City be on fire, whose bucket that brings water to quench it ought to be refused?
A53669If a man should have enquired of some of them of old, whether Melchizedeck were purus Homo, a meer man?
A53669Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance?
A53669Morte tuâ vivam?
A53669O the infamous portraicture this Doctrine draws of the Infinite Goodness; is this your retribution, O injurious Satisfactionists?
A53669Or how could the truth of any thing more evidently be represented unto their minds?
A53669Peter said to Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lye to the Holy Ghost?
A53669Tantane me tenuit vivendi nate voluptas, Vt pro me hostili paterer succedere dextrae Quem genui?
A53669The summ of what they say in general, is, How can these things be?
A53669Then said the Jews unto him, thou art not fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
A53669VVhat is the meaning of were made?
A53669Well, what is that subject matter?
A53669What Reason do they intend?
A53669What is it I pray?
A53669What is their singular herein, concerning how many things may the same be affirmed?
A53669What now can be required to secure our faith in this matter?
A53669What then are they?
A53669What then is this latent sense that is intended, and is discoverable only by themselves?
A53669Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
A53669converted into flesh, into a Man, so that he who was God ceased so to be, and was turned or changed into flesh, that is a Man?
A53669for then how shall God judge the world?
A53669hath he a divine nature also?
A53669that is, were mended?
A53669tuane haec genitor per vulnera servor?
A861207. expresse the Roman State( as Mr. Brightman holds) how comes the Turke to be an horne of the same beast?
A861209. had not Satan a manifest hand and plot herein, and indevored hereby to hinder, if not to extirpate the Gospel?
A86120And in Trumpet five is not Satan loose?
A86120But how can that bee?
A86120But the just year of their fall, who can tell?
A86120For what Kings palace and Throne on Earth is comparable to Christs which is in Heaven?
A86120How then is Satan bound in all this time?
A86120If the least in the kingdom of Heaven bee greater then John Baptist, how much more pretious to God is any true Christian then millions of Reprobates?
A86120In all this what Royalty?
A86120Is there no comming of Christ to judgment, untill the last judgment?
A86120It the Angel of the bottomlesse pit called Abaddon and Apollyon any other but Satan, who was cast down from heaven by Christ?
A86120Now, what I pray you, was there in Christ formerly answerable to the glory, power, and Majesty of some mean Kings in the world in these times?
A86120Secondly, how could Constantine, who ruled but thirty years, binde Satan a thousand years?
A86120See what the Rabbins say for themselves in this regard; Rabbi Elias saies, that the world shall continue six thousand years; Why so?
A86120Such an Objection as this, might of old have been expected out of the mouth of a Pharisee, or now from an unhappy Son of the Sy ● agogue?
A86120The controversie here is, whether this notable binding up of Satan bee already past, or yet to come?
A86120Thirdly, What day is all rest?
A86120Twelfthly, How can the year one thousand two hundred and sixty bee attributed to the Pope alone?
A86120VVhat Kings Attendants and messengers like in fidelity, agility, strength and observance to the Spirits, holy Angels, who are at Christs command?
A86120VVhat should I say more?
A86120WHether Christs Kingdom on Earth bee yet begun or not?
A86120What Son is there whom the Father chastiseth not?
A86120What are they to God that is eternall?
A86120What sign of Majesty?
A86120When then did the thousand years of the Saints raigning with Christ end?
A86120Whether Christs Kingdome be yet begunne or not?
A86120Why then should any doubt of this truth?
A86120and thereupon the Apostles jointly ask Christ: Lord wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
A86120be so likewise expounded?
A86120by one thousand two hundred and ninety dayes, and not as in the Apocalyps, by one thousand two hundred and sixty dayes?
A86120dee one thousand two hundred and ninty daies answer to time, times, and half a time?
A86120the brag is made: who can war with the Beast?
A86120then in this, Christ works together with us?
A86120what glound have wee to affirm that some Gentiles shall held the truth seven hundred years moe, and the Jews no man knows how long after that?
A86120who can war with him?
A67258( Not that all things forced by his overuling power, do not still yield subjection unto God( for who hath resisted his will?)
A67258-8, 31. yea rather that he is now at the right hand,& c. and who now can separate?
A672581. a faith therefore of promises not yet attained; and indeed why else his blood cry after death?
A6725810. and who knows whether this likewise in a just proportion) why should we imagine the other to have all their advancement?
A6725813. if not something hoped for after death?
A6725814, 15. in the new, for remission of sin by the Priests using sacred ceremonies and praier?
A6725815. converted[ shall I then take the members of an ● … arlot, and make them the members of Christ?]
A6725817. for conferring of the graces of the spirit?
A6725819?
A6725836. what then shall we be?
A672584, 11. to the fiery rain upon Sodom?
A672584. how else did he and the rest dy in faith?
A6725868. but, as they used formerly, to intrap him for his life,) whether he was the Messias?
A672586?
A672587. argue otherwise?
A672588. why may he not expressly mean it of these visions of Abraham?
A67258And how can they preach unless they be sent?
A67258And how should we sigh and groan till we were once possessed of it?
A67258And might not Abraham be said thus to see his glory; as well as Esai( it must be granted) did?
A67258And next the descent of the Lord in the times of Noah; how like is it to this in Abraham''s time before the firing of Sodom?
A67258And now what can hinder Gods goodness; or decay the Church; since''t is plain that sin can not?
A67258Cur ergo ei praeceptum est ut omnem deinceps infantem octavo die circumcideret; nisi quia& ipsum per seipsum sacramentum multum valebat?
A67258Doth not God still temporally bless both persons and nations that fear and serve him?
A67258Enough of the resurrection of the just to life; but what of the wicked to eternal torments?
A67258For where are the Angels called the Bride, the Lambs wife?
A67258His heir?
A67258How can he not continue for them the same petitions, till he be made compleat also in the whole Church his body?
A67258How narrow was the sound of the promulgation of his kingdom at first?
A67258How obscure his Sermons?
A67258How passionately did enamoured Moses beg for one sight of Gods face,( which only the Gospel admits us to;) and was suffered only to see his back?
A67258How uncapable his Auditors?
A67258Is he a Son of God?
A67258It remains then we enquire next, How much of our redemption is performed already by this our Saviour?
A67258Nisi tu nos praecessisses, quis sequi curaret?
A67258Or what good man is there that hath not long stories of Gods several temporal mer ● … ies to him in this world?
A67258Saul, why persecutest t ● … ou me?
A67258Think we then the Shepheard of Israel now sleepeth?
A67258Whether the Son of God?
A67258Why is it not?
A67258Why then should we think that the law given at Sinai did not well accord with the Gospel, that was then also preached?
A67258Yet asked by him a second time; whether, ● … ho his Kingdom not of this world, yet he was a King?
A67258and Elias on the Mount of God, after 40 daies fast, admitted only to hear his voice?
A67258and others also praise his providence?
A67258and the glad tidings he brought him in them of that coming, which the Jews then, yet without rejoycing as Abraham, beheld?
A67258why may he not then bless himself?
A3329721. and there came to him the Disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees Fast oft, but thy Disciples Fast not?
A33297And Jesus said to her, Why weepest thou?
A33297And Jesus said unto them, Do ye come out as against a Thief with Swords and Staves?
A33297And one of the company said to him, Master speak to my Brother that he divide the Inheritance with me: To whom Jesus said, who made me a Judge?
A33297And when he was entred into Jerusalem, all the City was moved saying, who is this?
A33297As he went, one said to him, Are there few that shall be saved?
A33297Betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss?
A33297But Jesus knowing all things that should come unto him, went out, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
A33297Caiphas then said, Answerest thou not to what they witness against thee?
A33297He also spake unto them the Parable of the two Sons, asking them, which of the two did the will of his Father?
A33297If thou beest the Christ tell us plainly?
A33297Is not this the Carpenter, the Son of Mary?
A33297Jesus answered, My Kingdom is not of this world: Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou then a King?
A33297Jesus answered, Saist thou this of thy self, or did others tell it thee of me?
A33297Knowest thou not that I have power to Crucifie thee?
A33297Pilate hearing of Galilee, asked him if he were a Galilean?
A33297Pilate replied, What then will ye that I shall do unto him whom ye call King of the Jews?
A33297Pilate said, Am I a Jew?
A33297Pilate then entred into the Judgement Hall again, and calling Jesus, said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jewes?
A33297Pilate therefore came forth unto them, and said, What accusation bring you against this man?
A33297Shall not I drink of the Cup that my Father hath given me?
A33297The Pharisees asking Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come?
A33297Then came to him a certain Lawyer, asking him, what he must do to inherit eternal life?
A33297Then came to him the Pharisees tempting him, saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
A33297Then did they mock him, and spit upon him, and cruelly beat him with buffets and staves: and covering his face, they said, Prophesie who smote thee?
A33297Then said Pilate to him, Speakest thou not unto me?
A33297Then said Pilate to him, what is Truth?
A33297Then said Pilate, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
A33297Then they took him; and when those that were about Jesus saw what would follow, they said to him, Lord ▪ shall we smite with the Sword?
A33297Thine own Nation, and the Chief Priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
A33297To whom Jesus said, Put up thy sword: Can not I pray, and have more than twelve Legions of Angels?
A33297What fruit had you in those things whereof you are now ashamed?
A33297When they had answered, he said unto them, But whom do ye say that I am?
A33297and he answered, It is he that dippeth his hand with me in the dish: and to Judas, asking Is it I?
A33297and they all cryed out again, Crucifie him: Pilate said unto them the third time, Why?
A33297his Disciples asked him where they should prepare it?
A33297to whom he answered, and asked the Pharisee whose Son Christ is?
A33297what evil hath he done?
A33297whom seekest thou?
A44538Ah how shall I do something acceptable and grateful unto thee?
A44538Ah how shall I subsist without my Life, or live without my Love?
A44538Ah my Soul, where is thy Redeemer gone?
A44538Ah where shall I find thee, my dear Lord?
A44538Ah, Soldiers, where are you hailing Jesus?
A44538Ah, cruel Pilate, who hast thou Condemned?
A44538Ah, dear Love, where art thou?
A44538And now, O blessed Jesus, what Eye can endure to see or behold thee?
A44538And now, my Soul, hark, what are they going to do?
A44538And, after they had abused him, and put many Indignities upon him, they led him towards Golgotha to crucify him?
A44538Aye, and are ye sure they said so?
A44538Behold his Arms stretcht out along time to embrace Sinners, and now he bows his Head to kiss''em?
A44538But my dear Lord, where are we now?
A44538But stay, O blessed Jesus, what is it I perceive and see in this black and dismal Hour?
A44538Ca n''t ye find in, ● our Hearts to take him down bef ● re ● is last Breath expires?
A44538Can''st thou believe?
A44538Can''st thou look after him, Pilate, and see all this, and thy Heart and Soul not faint and bleed?
A44538Do they affirm thou raised Lazarus from the Grave?
A44538Do you begin to have some Remorse?
A44538Do you think I am past saving you?
A44538Eli, Eli, Lameaesabac ● hani: My God, my God, why hast thou f ● rsak ● n me?
A44538Gentlemen, Who do ye want?
A44538How shall I be able to requite thy woful Pain and Death for me?
A44538How, Lord canst forbear?
A44538If the Son of God cries our so bitterly, what must a poor, vile, wretched, miserable Sinner do?
A44538If thou cry''st out so, what then can I do?
A44538Is it not finish''d yet?
A44538Is there no Ground of Hope left to cast the Anchor of thy Faith upon?
A44538Look, Sirs, Behold the Hour is come, wherein I must be betrayed?
A44538Lord, is it thee, in thine Agony and bloody Sweat?
A44538My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A44538My Name''s Jesus of Nazareth; D''ye seek me?
A44538O Lord, who is able to behold thee longer?
A44538O covetous Judas, for the lucre of Money, thou hadst sold thy ever blessed Jesus, and thy own Salvation too?
A44538O dear Lord God, precious Jesus, what will nothing appease the Tumult, but thy Death?
A44538O holy Jesus, is it not thee?
A44538O my dear God, what shall I do?
A44538O my dear Lord, What is it they witness against thee?
A44538Peter wilt thou not go along with thy Master?
A44538The Love of a dying SAVIOUR WHAT makes this dreadful Sound, Eli, Eli, Lamasabachthani?
A44538Then the Chief Priests and Elders with the Scribes and Pharisees, farther consulted and said, What do we?
A44538Thou art the Comfort of my Heart, the Sola ● e of my Mind, the true Content and Joy of my Afflicted Soul, where art thou to be found?
A44538What Heart can not but Mourn, and Lament bitterly, as not being able to behold thee?
A44538What Judge could be so cruel to put him to it?
A44538What Man could have so butcherly a Mind as to deal so outragiously with him?
A44538What Sin am I guilty of that is not atton''d yet; that God is so incensed at, that he will not yet pardon?
A44538What dost ● ook?
A44538What from the sixth till almo ● t the ninth Hour, is my dear Saviour in the heighth of this vehement Agony, and not over yet?
A44538What is it makes the Earth to shake?
A44538What say''st thou Lord, to a poor fainting, dying Soul?
A44538What so henious a Fault could he do to deserve it?
A44538What stand off, to deny him; O come, and let us follow hard after him?
A44538What then, ye faithless and perverse Generation, is it not lawful to do good rather than Evil?
A44538When shall I requite thy Labour?
A44538Where is that Grace of thy Lips?
A44538Wherefore when I came, there was no Man to h ● lp: When I called there was none to hear?
A44538Who has injured my Love; What no comfort yet?
A44538Who is it makes the Earth to quake?
A44538Wilt thou speak, Lord, and my Soul shall hear?
A44538[ 24] p.: ill. printed for S. Bates in Gilt- spur- street, London:[ 1700?]
A44538what is''t?
A44538what''s that which sounds thus in my Ear?
A44538— Father, thy Will be done, Forsak''st thou, Why thine only Son?
A515724: if that bee true, how dare you say, God made any work imperfect?
A51572Againe, Isaiah saith in another place, who are these that flie as clouds, and as doves to their habitations?
A51572And God save you; how know you me to be a Iew, that you speake so in Hebrew with me?
A51572And what shall be after that you shall be gathered together in the Land of Israel?
A51572And when shall the mentioned number 1335 be accomplisht?
A51572And who shall shew you the way from these remote countries, into which you are scattered to Ierusalem?
A51572And why, I pray you, doth that your Messias so long delay his comming to deliver you out of your tribulations in which you are?
A51572But is it not written, keep ye judgement and do justice, for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousnesse to be revealed?
A51572But what thinke your Rabbies, concerning the death of the Messias?
A51572But why doe you so refuse to heare the Gospell, and why doe you shun the light, and will set in darknesse?
A51572Did they not kill him for it, and hang him upon a tree?
A51572Furthermore, for what cause doe you thinke the Messias doth so long defer his comming, that he doth not redeem you?
A51572Have you not read what Isaias wrote concerning us?
A51572He was taken from prison, and from judgement, and who shall declare his generation?
A51572IS that man who comes to meet me a Iew?
A51572If the truth doth not stand for us, how I pray was that latter house in greater glory than the former?
A51572If your Christ is God and the true Messias, why did he conceale himselfe in the flesh?
A51572In what place of Scripture, did your Rabbies find that?
A51572Is the Messias alwaies at Rome, according to their opinion, who thought hee was at Rome?
A51572Know you not that his wisdome and his counsels are not to be searcht into, which do so far exceed our apprehensions?
A51572Knowest thou not, that nothing is unpossible to God?
A51572Shall men dye in that Land, or shall they live for ever?
A51572Shall the City and the Temple be then built, as Ezechiel saw them in the spirit of Prophecy?
A51572Shall then all the Nations beleeve in one God?
A51572Shall your Messias have wife and children?
A51572These are wonderful things, and what I pray you hath that your Iesus done, or what need was there that hee should bee born of a woman?
A51572Was it not said already, that he was wounded for our transgressions?
A51572What doth that white circle signifie, which I see written on the wals, round about the chamber, having this inscription?
A51572What therefore did the lyon, and other devouring creatures eat then, who now eat flesh?
A51572When Rabbi Ioshua the son of Levi did aske Elias when the Messias would come, and where is he?
A51572Where therefore and in what place is he at this day?
A51572and where I pray you is it written, that Alexander King of the Greeks, shut up the sons of Magog within the mountaines?
A51572and why did hee not come openly, by renewing his law, and giving it publikely?
A51572art thou a Iew and one of our people?
A51572doe you see how unhappily the Fathers have understood and expounded that place?
A51572is he yet at Rome?
A51572shall hee live alwaies, or shall hee die as other men after a long time?
A51572why did he sustaine all those passions and afflictions, which our fathers brought upon him?
A51572why doth he suffer you so to wander through the world, as sheep which have no shepherd?
A51572why doth hee suffer you so to wander through the deserts, as sheep without a pastour, and have not any certain dwelling?
A51572why hath he cast you from him now so many yeares, and doth not remember you with God?
A51572will they build Cities, and til the ground?
A9220610. why dost thou judge thy brother?
A9220629 neither of those only who lived that day, but of all ages: you may say, how know we whether he were born on that day which we observe?
A9220637. whereof the question may be, Can these dry bones live?
A92206ANd if we once follow traditional divinity, where shall we stop?]
A92206And again, Despise ye the Church of God?
A92206And can we reasonably think that all things which the Apostles or disciples did, are written in holy Scripture?
A92206And if we once follow traditionall Divinity, where shall we stop?
A92206And is it not worth thanks in your sence?
A92206BVt where we are directed how, and when to celebrate the remembance of our blessed Saviour, for us to sup ● radd& c.] How and when?
A92206But say you then, Is not that will- worship?
A92206DId the Apostles or disciples ever observe it?]
A92206Did the Apostles or Disciples ever observe it?
A92206Ergo& c. Who perceiveth not the falshood of the first proposition?
A92206HOw came it to be Christs day?]
A92206Have we any Command in Scripture for it?]
A92206Have we any command in scripture for it?
A92206How came it to be Christs day?
A92206In what Scripture finde you your exception to the 25. of December?
A92206Is it like to be a duty and no footsteps at all left in the word, either Precept or Example looking that way?
A92206Lastly we say( concerning the observation of a day in memorie of Christ''s birth) have we any command in Scripture against it?
A92206SO the observation of this day] What supplement is here necessary for your elliptical speaking?
A92206So the observation,& c. Do you mean, ho ● dato, that Christs forementioned question and yours, are the same?
A92206VVAs it observed in the Primitive Church for fifty yeers after the Apostles were dead?
A92206VVOuld they have ▪ omitted it, if it had been a duty?]
A92206VVhether the Papists may not say as much for all their heaps of traditions, as we can for this?]
A92206WHich is the case in hand] Still begging the question?
A92206Was it observed in the Primitive Church for fifty years after the Apostles were all dead?
A92206We answer, doth it appear that they did not observe it?
A92206What will not unskilful confidence venter on?
A92206Whether the Papists may not say as much for all their heaps of Traditions, as we can say for this?
A92206Would they have omitted it, if it had been a duty?
A92206You pos ● ibly will say, what is that to us?
A92206and may we not this day as well as those?
A92206and why am I evil spok ● n of for that for which I give thanks?
A92206and why may not we without offence, observe them still?
A92206and why not for the greatest of blessings, the bread of life bestowed upon us on that day?
A92206could you teach, who understand not what you say, nor whereof you affirme?
A92206hath the bloody sword so often disputed these unhappy questions, undone so many noble and good families?
A92206have these quarrels caused the English to be a scorn and derision to foriagn nations?
A92206may we not on that day give God thanks for our meat and drink with your good leave?
A92206or is a counting a consecrated thing holy, concluded will- worship in your Schools?
A92206or the due observation of that statute, such?
A92206or when did you, or ever shall be able to prove that they did?
A92206or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
A92206shall I praise you in this?
A92206we answer, how know you the contrary?
A92206we demand; Is dedicating of a thing to Gods service, in that act, a making it holy?
A92206we read not that all the Apostles were baptized, where, when, and by whom; will you therefore conclude, that they were not at all baptized?
A92206what a filly animal would you deeme him who would admit such conclusions?
A92206what cause of joy or commemoration have we?
A92206what shall I say to you?
A92206what vain trilling use you in such a frequent begging of the question?
A4156210. being these, much more being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life; and what doth this make for thee?
A4156222. Who is a Lyer?
A4156235. he saith to the man that was born blind, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
A41562And since he saith, the Soul is also to be saved within, and the whole man; what an imperfect account doth he express in this matter?
A41562Hath he now any real, individual glorified bodily existence?
A41562How could they be excused but by Christ?
A41562How could they be without excuse who disobeyed, if they had not a sufficient principle given to perform their obedience, which is Christ only?
A41562How could they do the things of the Law but by the divine nature of ● f Christ?
A41562How did some of them perfect the Law and were Jews inwardly, if not by Christ?
A41562If the Apostles Preached Christ in the form of a man; when they so Preached him, was he not a real man?
A41562In the 1. p. thou argues thus, how is sin finished without man, while no good is wrought within him?
A41562Israel a Saviour Jesus; and is this blasphemy with thee?
A41562O grave where is thy victory?
A41562Or that thou dost not believe that God raised him from the dead?
A41562Page, thou sayst, — Is there not a Divine elect Seed in the Saints by which he is formed in them?
A41562Seeing Christ works all things in us by his Spirit, how is all things finished without them, before any good wrought in them?
A41562Why do the Heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things, against the Lord and his Christ?
A41562and how can God then in justice execute wrath on any for sin?
A41562and how is it foolishness to the wisdom and reason of the Greeks?
A41562and if so, art thou not in union with those who gave money to the Souldiers to hire them to say, that his Disciples came by night and stole him away?
A41562and if this Seed or Christ be not saved in every man, doth it remain in some for ever under condemnation?
A41562and indeed to what end was the Comforter, the spirit of truth promised, and sent to reveal this Mistery?
A41562and was there ever, or will there ever be remission of sins Preached by the Spirit of God, but through that man?
A41562and where dost thou find in the Scriptures that the Apostles Preached one way of appearance of Christ to the Jews, and another to the Gentiles?
A41562and why have so many of you joyned together( as if it were for your very lives) against it, yea, and forcing it to speak what it intended not?
A41562are the gifts and graces of the Spirit in us, he the giver of them?
A41562are the motions of his Spirit as in us, he the mover?
A41562did he not rise from the dead?
A41562did his flesh see corruption?
A41562dost thou think this clamour of thine, will make void the Apostles plain positive assertion?
A41562he answered and said, Who is he Lord that I might believe on him?
A41562how comes faith by hearing?
A41562how darkly dost thou write of these things?
A41562tell plainly, did the Grave hold him?
A41562that all in us is God?
A41562that the life in all is God?
A41562why was it not left in its own simple weakness, without being branded with nick- names of their nature who so named it?
A41562why was there such a stir raised about it?
A41562— Is the Seed or Christ within, so under condemnation and the Curse, that he needs to be redeemed therefrom?
A41562— What strange Doctrine is this?
A41562— how can we tell there was ever such a man, we were not then living, we have nothing but our faith for it?
A06971A King for a small time, to a King beyond all time?
A06971A cutthroate crew serue for thy shames increase, Are these thy mates?
A06971A question sweete, Pilate, thou didst propound: Why wouldst not stay, to heare our Lords reply?
A06971Admit before, his preaching did vs stay, Or such like let, can not our crime excuse: He is our Lord, how might we him gainesay?
A06971After he came, and found vs three to sleepe, Simon, said he, can ye not watch one houre?
A06971And Pilate said, A King now art thou then?
A06971And all in haste, dost flatly him deny?
A06971And must thy rulers now their forces bend, To send their seruants forth in all the haste, To binde this lambe, and then his blood to spend?
A06971And what is that?
A06971Art thou the Christ?
A06971Art thou the man, which with our Lord wilt dye?
A06971But may it be that thus thou shouldest faint?
A06971Can ye prolong your life, vvith yeares, or dayes?
A06971Else doest thou take on thee a Christians name, Following not that thou seemest to professe?
A06971For art thou where Religion is abused, And hast no care then to confute that strife?
A06971For high priests seruant and a kinseman neere, To Malchus said, Did I thee not espie With Christ in garden?
A06971Good worke this is, but wanteth loue, and faith: What helpeth it, to say I did offend?
A06971Haue ye no care, the spotlesse blood to spill?
A06971His bitter pangs, what pen or wit can tell?
A06971How glad is Satan, vvhen vve yeld to sleepe?
A06971How sad sweete Iesus, vvhen vve slouth imbrace?
A06971I sinn''d a sinne, betraying the innocent blood: O innocent blood, with cryes that doest affright, Affright me not: why am I thus withstood?
A06971Iesus to Iudas vseth words most kinde: For, Friend, he saith, a reason to me render, Why thou art come?
A06971If I, quoth Iesus, haue spoken that is ill, Then witnes beare vnto the ill thy selfe: But for good speech, thy sury to fulfill, Why smitest thou me?
A06971If slender touch, huge mountaines maketh smoke, How dates then man, his Maiestie prouoke?
A06971Might not his grace, from treason thee reclaime, But at his life, thou traytour, now wilt aime?
A06971Note the proceeding, in a cause vniust, An officer there smote Iesus with his rod: Our high priest thus, to answere now thou must?
A06971O man most pure, for wretches most forlorne, Must my great God to men be made a scorne?
A06971O treasonfull wretch, my Lord as thou hast sold, Shall those fowle lips to kisse my Lord make bold?
A06971O vvretched man, bereft of inward peace, Commest thou arm''d, vvith vveapons and vvith lights?
A06971Oh, why do men delight with sinnes to dwell, When sinnes do weigh the sinner downe to hell?
A06971Or that some other, to speake so did him traine?
A06971Refraine, said I?
A06971Shall I not drinke that cup preparde for me?
A06971Should they not loue, and keepe the innocent?
A06971So then this comfort, corsiue I may call: For what refreshing, found my sad lament?
A06971The selfe same woman, vnto Peter said, Of this mans schollers art thou not now one?
A06971VVhat''s that to vs?
A06971VVho fights gainst God, should he with such agree?
A06971Vpon the charge, Pilate to Christ did lay: Our vvisdome vvould, he should declare againe: If of himselfe, he then the vvords did say?
A06971Wanted they lawes?
A06971What do ye long, to see your land lye waste?
A06971What is the Truth?
A06971What needes the serpent th''apple faire to reach?
A06971What now remaines vnto the hardned Iewes, Iewes that would not our Lord as King should raigne?
A06971What thinke ye now?
A06971What, not content, our Life twise to deny?
A06971Who can dissolue, what God alone doth will?
A06971Who for the truth, would not his life then spend, Seeing God is prest, his owne right to defend?
A06971Who seeth not, he did true Iustice taint?
A06971Whom do ye seeke?
A06971Whom do ye seeke?
A06971Why, Pilate, why?
A06971With graue forecast, why did I not preuent This monstrous sinne, for which I thus am shent?
A06971Ye mortall men, vvho haue on earth your time, Like pilgrims poore, to plod in vncoath vvayes, What are ye here, but drosse, earth, clay and slime?
A06971of God art thou the sonne?
A06971the one a creature, the other a Creator?
A06971was piety cleane forgot?
A06971what, is it hope of pelfe?
A47186Again; I ask thee, Is Omni- presence Essential unto God, or only an Accident?
A47186And also, his God, whom he limiteth Essentially within the Dimensions of an ordinary Human Body, be not also False?
A47186And be it so, that Omnipresency and Omnipercipiency, being communicated unto Christ, that he is God; In what is this contrary to Christian Doctrine?
A47186And doth it not cause him to Excel all other Beings, that have no such Union?
A47186And how could so many have been said to have pierced Christ, if he was not in them?
A47186And how is Christ the second Adam, the quickning spirit, if he be not present to quicken those whom he doth quicken?
A47186And how was the Riches of the Glory of the Mistery, which is, Christ, among the Gentiles, but in them?
A47186And if they are for the pre- existence of the Soul of Christ''s Man- hood, why not for the pre- existence of the souls of all other men?
A47186And, Whether that described by the Author of this Pamphlet, here Answered by me, is not indeed a False Christ?
A47186Art thou come to Torment us before the time?
A47186But again, is not man like unto the Beasts in some things, as also unto the Herbs, Plants and Trees of the field?
A47186But how little hast thou considered, how if thou stand unto the words of Grotius, thou hast given a stone to break thy own Head?
A47186But they understand the Holy Ghost, who is God, is not separated from this Body& Soul of Christ: but why then did they not express themselves so?
A47186But what saith this against any thing that I have affirmed in my Book?
A47186Can Flesh and Blood, and an Human Soul, be said to Ray and Beam from God, who is a Free and Simple Spirit?
A47186Do not all true Christians believe that he is both God and Man, and yet but one Christ?
A47186For how oft is all mankind comprehending both Soul and Body, called Flesh in Scripture, and yet the Soul is not the Mortal Body?
A47186How can Mediatorship be without a Mediator?
A47186How doth the Christian savour this?
A47186I Query whether this Soul of Christ can be the Holy Ghost?
A47186I answer, first, how couldest thou know our understanding, or mind, if the thing had not been expressed?
A47186I ask, why is not this Man Christ, in all the fallen Angels, as well as fallen men?
A47186Is it not Rampant Blasphemy?
A47186Is not Christ God?
A47186Is not this Union of his with the Godhead, most Excellent?
A47186Is not this a strange new Deity of thy own devising, and a most abominable Idol?
A47186Is the Sap and Moisture, a meer accident, having no substance?
A47186Is this too mean and low a Terme, whereby to call them?
A47186Moreover, when Paul said, the Fathers of old, drank of the Rock, and that Rock was Christ, was this only a Prophecy of Christ?
A47186Or, What doth it infer against the Real Being and Existence of Christ, in all Ages, from the Beginning?
A47186Pamphlet, I query what difference, betwixt the Nishmah of his Soul, and the Center of it?
A47186See, if Keith hath not made the Angels Idolaters?
A47186What if wicked men at times, confesse unto Christ, as the Devils formerly did?
A47186What spirit was that which Christ committed to his Father, when he gave up the Ghost on the Cross?
A47186and did they not eat the Grapes of this Heavenly Vine- Tree, and drink the Liquor or Juice, or Wine thereof?
A47186and is not the Soul of Man, substantially, in all the bodily Members?
A47186for how can that which is absent from us, altogether quicken us, or give us life?
A47186who, but one so blind and grosly ignorant, as the Author of this Pamphlet, can so affirm?
A19541And how then could his wrath waxe hot, to doe all this vnto him?
A19541And then, in that distresse hauing none to regard him: Haue ye no regard all ye?
A19541And what is that wee should Consider?
A19541And what were we?
A19541And who be those others?
A19541And who is there, euen the poorest creature among vs, but in some degree findeth some cōfort, or some regard at some bodies hāds?
A19541And who regardeth the power of this wrath?
A19541And why would hee?
A19541As if he should say, Regard you not?
A19541As if hee should say: Rare things you regard, yea though they no wayes pertaine to you; this is exceeding rare, and will you not regard it?
A19541As if it concern''d you not a whit, and it toucheth you so neere?
A19541As if it were some common ordinary matter, and the like neuer was?
A19541But yet, what was the cause why Hee on his part?
A19541Cuibono?
A19541For first he cōplaineth( and not without cause) Haue ye no regard?
A19541For what cause?
A19541For( saith Salomon) the spirit of a man wilsustain all his other infirmities, but a wounded spirit, who can beare?
A19541For, the very first words which we reade, Haue ye no regard?
A19541For, what of all this?
A19541HAue ye no Regard, ô all ye that passe by the way?
A19541Haue ye no Regard?
A19541Haue ye no regard?
A19541He deliuered not his Martyrs, but did he forsake them?
A19541Here is Distresse, Neuer the like: will Duetie?
A19541I demaund then, Of whom speaketh the Prophet this?
A19541If euer there were Sweat like this Sweat of his?
A19541In great extremitie two wayes: First, In such distresse, as neuer was any, If euer there were sorrow like my sorrow?
A19541In that day, there is not the most carelesse of vs all, but shall cry as they did in the Gospel, Domine, non ad te pertinet, si perimus?
A19541Is it not for your good?
A19541Is not the benefit yours?
A19541Is not this worth the regard?
A19541My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee?
A19541No Regard?
A19541No Regard?
A19541None?
A19541None?
A19541Not for himselfe?
A19541Pertaines it not to thee, Carest thou not that we perish?
A19541Pertaines it to vs then, and pertaines it not now?
A19541Pertaines not this vnto vs neither?
A19541Perteines it not to vs?
A19541Perteines it not to you, that you Regard it no better?
A19541S Augustine setteth it downe, Martyres non eripuit, sed nunquid deseruit?
A19541Shall the Creature, and not we?
A19541Shall we not?
A19541Then to be sure to bring vs to Regard, he vrgeth this, Perteines not all this to you?
A19541To be afflicted, and so afflicted, as none euer was, is very much: In that affliction to finde none to respect him or care for him, what can be more?
A19541What caused this wrath?
A19541What good?
A19541What know wee their haste?
A19541What then?
A19541Who?
A19541Will ye know the reason?
A19541Yes sure, his Complaint is Iust, Haue ye no Regard?
A19541and it pertaines vnto you?
A19541and yet neuer the like?
A19541for whom then?
A19541heere are Benefits, neuer the like: will all these?
A19541heere are sinnes, neuer the like: will Kindnesse?
A19541heere is Loue, neuer the like: will Bountie?
A19541heere is a Person, neuer the like: will Feare?
A19541here is wrath, neuer the like: will Remorse?
A19541of himselfe, or of some other?
A19541that mooued him thus to lay downe his Soule, a sacrifice for our sinne?
A19541what was that that mooued him thus to become our Suretie, and to take vpon him our debt and danger?
A19541what will mooue you?
A19541who, but the Power of darkenesse, wicked Pilate, bloody Caiaphas, the enuious Priests, the barbarous Souldiers?
A19541will Pitie?
A19541will neither of these by it selfe, mooue you?
A19541will not both these together mooue you?
A12187A Christian should have high thoughts of himselfe, what shall I defile the nature, that God hath taken into unity of his person?
A12187And as Luther sayd, shall wee weepe and cry, when God laugheth?
A12187And considering this must certainely come to passe, Why doe ye feare, ye house of David?
A12187And if God be with us, who shall be against us?
A12187And is any thing rarer then that, A Virgin shall conceive, and beare a sonne?
A12187And shall not we make use of the same reason now?
A12187And shall not we make use of these things in times of distresse?
A12187And shall not wee then labour to bee with him, as much as we can?
A12187And therefore come life, come death, Christ is our surety, he layeth up our dust, keepeth our ashes in the grave, and will Christ loose any member?
A12187And therefore if hee did it for this end, that wee might bee neere him as our nature is neere him, shall not wee make it a ground of comfort?
A12187And therefore the Scripture runneth comfortably on this; God hath redeemed the Church with his owne bloud: hath GOD blood?
A12187And who can doe this but God?
A12187And will hee suffer his Church to want, that hee hath taken so neere to himselfe?
A12187But how doth friendshippe betweene God and us arise from hence?
A12187But how shall wee improve it?
A12187But you will say, this promise was to come, and how could this confirme their faith, for the present, that they should not bee destroyed?
A12187Christ is come in the flesh, and is triumphant in Heaven, God having given Christ, will hee not give all things necessary whatsoever?
A12187For if God be with us in our nature, and by consequence in favour, who shall bee against us?
A12187For the pure nature of God, what hath it to doe with the unpure nature of man, without Emanuel, without him that is God man, to make satisfaction?
A12187For what doe wee usually behold with earnestnes?
A12187God shall raise my body out of the dust, and the grave, and can not he raise my body out of sicknesse?
A12187God trusteth us to see, if wee will bee on his side, and calles to us, as Iehu did, Who is on my side, who?
A12187God, hath God at his right hand, appearing for us, and shall wee bee affraid to goe to the Throne of grace?
A12187Hath he given the greater, and will he stand with thee for the lesse?
A12187He hath given Christ, and will he not give all things needfull?
A12187How shall I know hee is my Emanuel, not onely God with us, but God with me?
A12187If God be with us, who can bee against us?
A12187If God bee on our side, who can bee against us?
A12187In all our necessities and wantes goe to God: how?
A12187It is not deified, and so made infinite) yet as much as the creature can bee capable of, there is in Christ- man, and so shall wee defile that nature?
A12187Know O house of David, is it a smal thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?
A12187Now when did the virgin conceive?
A12187Now, if wee have not a word for the Church, not so much as a prayer for the Church, how can wee say, God with us?
A12187Shall God bee God with us in our nature in heaven, and shall wee defile our natures that GOD hath so dignified?
A12187Shall not I goe to him that suffered so much for me?
A12187Shall the reasonings before Christs comming be of more force, then these bee, now Christ is come, and is in glory, appearing in Heaven for us?
A12187Shall we have wisdome in the things of this World, and not make use of the grand comforts, that concerne our soules?
A12187So that if you aske, when doth Christ first live in a Christians heart?
A12187Therefore how is it said, he shall be called Emanuel?
A12187We out of our weaknes, wonder at poore pety things, as the Disciples at the building of the Temple, What stones are these?
A12187Wee have desires to bee with him in his Ordinances as much as may be, and in humble resignation at the houre of death; how shall wee be with him here?
A12187What a shame is this?
A12187What can be in a greater degree of strangenesse( except the devils) then mens unholinesse, and Gods pure nature?
A12187What is that?
A12187What stoppeth mercy but sinne?
A12187Who is on his side?
A12187[ 2], 25,[ 1], 27,[ 1] p. Printed by E[dward] G[riffin, and John Norton?]
A12187and my state out of trouble?
A12187and why a virgin?
A12187are not all his Riches for our use?
A12187but God is on our side, and on what grounds?
A12187can not hee raise the Church out of misery?
A12187can the members want influence, when the head hath it?
A12187can the wife be poore, when the husband is rich?
A12187can this bee, where these things are beleeved?
A12187have wee such a foundation of comfort, and shall not wee make use of it?
A12187reasons thus: God that spared not his owne Sonne, but gave him to death for us all, how shall not hee with him give us all things?
A12187then the Incarnation of Christ?
A12187we wonder at the greatnesse of birth and place, but alas, what is fit for the soule being a large and capable thing to stand in admiration of?
A12187when we are not used to speake to God by way of prayer, nor to man but by way of opposition and contestation?
A12187wherefore serve they but to comfort us in all conflicts with Satan, and in all doubtings that arise from our sinfull hearts?
A46267And call down angry Justice, to exclude This plenty from you, for Ingratitude?
A46267And put those words in practise; what we may Obtain by Faith and Prayer, who can say, But those blest Souls in Heaven?
A46267And yet ye grieve, and murmur at the food He sends ye, which is temperately good, Fit for your Constitutions?
A46267And( for a Friend) what Mortal can excel The Knowledge of Seraphick Samuel?
A46267And, for his Guard, four bold Quaternions Of Lift- depriving Souldiers, such as flie All acts that tend not unto Tyranny?
A46267Angels diet: Are ye not sated ev''ry Morn and Even, With food in pearly viols, sent from Heaven?
A46267Are not your Labours ended?
A46267Are we grown proudly wise, will know no way To Heaven but our own?
A46267Are we in dismal Dungeons doom''d to stay,''Till Death allow enlargement?
A46267Are we in sicknesse, and would gladly play The sanctifi''d Physitians?
A46267Are we in wrathfull War, where Tyrants sway The sword of black injustice?
A46267Are we so full of wrath, that we could slay Our nearest, dearest Kindred?
A46267Are we so us''d to swear, that Yea and Nay Are words of no Assertion?
A46267Are we with Judas ready to betray Our Friends for fatal treasure?
A46267Are ye not God''s Elect?
A46267Are ye not fed with Manna?
A46267But why did thy injurious Judgement passe On Jesus clear, for guilty Barrabas?

A46267COuld not the Angels charge( weak woman) turn Thy longing Eyes from seeing Sodom burn?
A46267Can Man make manifest what God denies?
A46267Can your Laws Inflict a punishment without a Cause?
A46267Com''ft thou to me to know thy Enterprize?
A46267Could thy oblivious Soul so soon expell The apprehension of each Miracle His potent Power performed?
A46267Dare not?
A46267Do we with Dives let poor Laz''rus stay Fasting, while we are Feasting?
A46267Dost thou not know King Saul proclaims himself a mortal foe To our black Colledge?
A46267Doth Causeless Care oppresse us, that to day We cast for food to Morrow?
A46267Doth Death approach us?
A46267Doth Famine vex our Nation, and decay Our( once too pamper''d) bodies?
A46267Doth Pestilence possess us?

A46267I must grudge At thee false Pilat, Couldst thou judge thy Judge?
A46267IS the Great Shepherd, whom our Saviour call''d To feed his Sheep and Lambs, like them, install''d Now by a wolvish Tyrant?
A46267Let us pray, Are we despis''d?
A46267Must Fetters cling about his sacred Bones?
A46267Obdurate Judge, could not thy Eyes relent To see the glory of an Innocent Brought to thy guilty Session?
A46267Or did he Envy our Peter''s office?
A46267Or if thou didst conceit his power could give A Life to thee, Why didst not ask to live?
A46267Restor''d to life, and health, a Corps that dyed, Was shrowded, coffin''d, grav''d, and putrified?

A46267Though thou divin''st me right, yet do not fear, But let me understand, what did appear After''thy Incantations?
A46267Too just?
A46267Was he too Holy for your vitious Time?
A46267What Consolation couldst thou think to see In Punishments that were as due to thee?
A46267What is the Saint accus''d of?
A46267What is''t doth cause your murmur and disquiet?
A46267Whom shall I rear?
A46267Why did thy black thoughts hold conspiracy To send him to thy long- vow''d Enemy?

A46267Why from the cold bed of my quiet Grave Am I thus summon''d Saul?
A46267Why must thy Incantations call up me From secure sleep?
A46267Why( like a just Judge) didst not punish them Who( i th''worst form of malice) Spit on him?
A46267Would we be ready for Dooms dreadfull day?
A46267Would we have Jesus Christ the onely stay Of our sick souls and bodies?
A46267Would we have Names and Honors nere decay, But flourish like the Spring- time?
A46267Would we live long and happy, have each day Crown''d with a thousand blessings?

A93368Dost thou know Gods means, and the number of them?
A93368Doth God invite you to come, and are you afraid?
A93368For which of Gods loving kindnesses and rich mercies hast thou taken up such hard thoughts of him, to nourish Jealousies against his love?
A93368Have I beene as a wildernesse unto Israel?
A93368Have you not rested in the means?
A93368Have you used the means in a right manner, measure, time, and in sincerity?
A93368Have you used them in faith, waiting for Gods blessing upon them?
A93368Have your ends been good, and rightly placed?
A93368How doe men prize the dust of Gold?
A93368I will save you, saith the Lord, from all your uncleannes; what is the effect of this?
A93368Is Christ the Sun of Righteousnesse set in thy soul?
A93368Is it likely or possible to reason for a man to walke upon the sea, or Peter did?
A93368Poore soule I would be acquainted how thou camest to know thou hast an hard heart; who told thee so?
A93368Reason within thy selfe; Why art thou cast downe, O my soule, and disquieted within me?
A93368Shal I give my first borne for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A93368Shal a man fall and not arise?
A93368Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A93368Since the best and most through sanctification in any, is not pure enough for the eyes of the Lord; why then make you it any bottom for assurance?
A93368Slight not, nor refuse the consolations of thy God; let them not seeme small unto thee; Are the consolations of God small unto thee?
A93368Take it rather for granted, that thou art an hypocrite; and if so, what is that but a sinner, though of a deeper die then an ordinary sinner is?
A93368The Lord onely bids thee to acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord& c. What a poore recompence is this?
A93368They also know that they are the more happy, in that they were sinners; else how could they be capable of union with God, of mercy and heaven?
A93368This duty the Lord knowes a poore believer is backward to; But who among you wil give eare to this?
A93368What need hast thou of Christ, if thou hast what thou needest without him?
A93368What qualifications( except sinful ones) had they in Ezekiel?
A93368What* union so full, real, intire, wonderful, glorious, spiritual, eternal, and infinite?
A93368Whe ● shal lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?

A93368Who is a God like unto thee, that pardonest the transgression of the remnant of thy people?
A93368Who is among you that fears the Lord, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darknesse, and sees no light?
A93368Who shall condemne?
A93368Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A93368Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A93368Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A93368Why hidest thou thy face from mee?
A93368Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oyle?
A93368You must not give way to such discouraging thoughts, answer them with Jonah; who knowes but the Lord may returne?
A93368and that the Saints stopped the mouths of Lyons, and quenched the violence of fire?
A93368and thou taught in our streets?
A93368and what Qualifications had they for whom Christ died, who were yet enemies, yea enmity against him?
A93368art thou certaine thou art not mistaken?
A93368but what saith it?
A93368doth his promise faile for evermore?
A93368is it not a mixture of flesh and Spirit?
A93368or a land of darknesse?
A93368or that drie bones shal live?

A93368why then are wee so full of terrors?
A93368why then feelest thou after it as thou dost?
A0946314. is it not all one, as if hee had said, thou shalt serue him only?
A09463And how doth his descending to the earth work man such wo?
A09463And how should that giue heat and warmnesse to our bodies, which of it selfe is void of heate?
A09463But because we doe not, therefore at euery assault of the Assyrians, we say, as the seruant to k Elishah did: Alas master, what shall we doe?
A09463But doth the child of God escape his hands?
A09463But dowe so?
A09463But heere I would know, if the Church must needs bee iudge, by what meanes must she determine?
A09463But how comes it to passe that any Prince or State can stand, if the Diuell haue such malice against them?
A09463But is there no remedy to man for all this woe that comes by Satan?
A09463But what do the heauens gaine by Satans casting downe?
A09463Could he ouercome the world, and can he not ouercome many troubles in the world?
A09463Doe not most men heereby seeke to inrich themselues?
A09463Doth God tempt vs?
A09463Doth a man come to loue religion, that formerly was giuen to loosenesse of life?
A09463For the first, it may bee demanded what way Satan tooke vp Christ into this high mountaine?
A09463How then can it be, that they should cleane escape the infection of sinne, who do vsually conuerse with those that commit it without controlement?
A09463If we were in the presence of an earthly Prince, oh how carefull would we be to our behauiour both for words& actions?
A09463In Christs temptations, we see the estate of the e Church; in Satans assault, we see his malice to the f Church, Is Christ tempted?
A09463In a word, is he vpon earth?
A09463Iobs l messengers came not so fast on him: but Iobs afflictions may come as fast vpon vs. Hath Dauid slain m a Beare?
A09463Is a man giuen to pleasures and delight, and an length is depriued of them?
A09463Is euery asking of a signe a tempting of God?
A09463Is he on the crosse?
A09463Is it not by lying, fraud, and oppressio?
A09463Is it not wofull to the flockes and to the heards, when rauenous beasts do frequent their pastures?
A09463Is the matter of our woe, ioy to the Saints?
A09463See the truth hereof in the course of the world; Is a man oppressed with outward want and pouertie?
A09463Seeing Christ did farre excell Moses and Elias, why did he not exceed them in the length of his fast, for threescore daies or a whole yeare?
A09463Shal one that hath been baptized into the name of Christ, say there is no God, and that the Scriptures are but a deuice of man, and yet liue?
A09463Teares c were Dauids meat day and night, while the heathen among whom he was constrained to liue, said vnto him where is thy God?
A09463Then how much more is he now able euen in all his members to giue Satan the foile, hauing spoiled him in his death?
A09463This stands not with the holinesse of Christ as he is man to be tempted of Satan?
A09463This, reason may teach vs, for how should that thing of it selfe preserue and further life, which in it selfe is void of life?
A09463Thus the Israelites tempted God in the wildernesse when they wanted water; saying, a Is God among vs or no?
A09463Was this any vertue in satan that hee doth thus readily depart at Christs command?
A09463What if the Lord should send a famine among vs, as he may iustly do for the sinnes of this land?
A09463Whither was Christ led to be tempted?
A09463Why is it called holy, seeing now it was a polluted place full of sinful people?
A09463Why tempt ye God( saith Peter) to lay a yoake on the Disciples neckes, which neither our Fathers nor we were able to beare?
A09463a In thee haue I trusted, saith a king: b who euer was confounded that trusted in the Lord ▪ said a friend?
A09463and with the disciples: Carest thou not Master that we perish?
A09463are we warie of these tempers?
A09463he is tempted in his m person; is he in heauen?
A09463he must make a rode vpon the Philistims: are the Philistims conquered?
A09463he shall encounter with a Lion: hath he killed a Lion?
A09463n he must fight with Goliah: hath he subdued Goliah?
A09463should we then despaire or vse vnlawful meanes for our reliefe?
A09463take heed of apostasie: doth the flesh tempt man?
A09463take heed of dissembling: doth man tempt God?
A09463take heed of his subtiltie: doth man tempt man?
A09463take heed of hypocrisie: doth Satan tempt vs?
A09463take heed of inquiring: doth the world tempt man?
A09463the k people will not pity him: is he risen?
A09463then will Satan bring this hatred from the heart to the hand, and cause x Caine to kill Abel: Is Iudas couetous?
A902781 Whether Christ in making satisfaction, underwent that Penalty that was threatned to the Offendors themselves?
A902782 Grant All that here is said, how doth it prove that Christ underwent not the very Penalty of the Law?
A902782 How comes the Sinner by Faith, if it is the Gift of God?
A902782 Whether the Penalty due to One, may not be undergon by Another?
A902782 Whether the Penalty though undergone by another, be not the idem of the Obligation?
A9027820. because he now will, and may, suitablely to his Justice ▪ Wisdome, and Appointment, make out unto them?
A902783 How doth this Elude the force of my Answer?
A902784 Doth not Mr B. suppose, That in the very Tenure of the Obligation there is required a solution, tending to the same End as satisfaction doth?
A902784 That the Law threatned not Christ but us, is most true: but the Question is, Whether Christ underwent not the threatning of the Law, not we?
A902784 To the thing it self, I desire to enquire; 1 What M. B. intends by solutio ejusdem in the businesse in hand?
A90278And may not this hold in things Personal also?
A90278And what said I more?
A90278And what saith Grotius more then this?
A90278But how is all this proved?
A90278But is it from hence, because by his Death, he Purchaseth for them, the compleating of that Condition in them?
A90278But is there any such thing as Deliverance once aimed at, or intended in the tenor of the Obligation?
A90278But is this his mind indeed?
A90278But then, Why doth the Lord bestow Faith on Peter at the 40th yeer of his Age, and not before, or after?
A90278But, Do I not then fight with a shadow?
A90278Can Justice refuse to accept of such a payment?
A90278Can it be any other but the Glory of Gods Justice in the everlasting destruction of the Creature?
A90278Do I labour to prove that which I never Affirmed?
A90278Doth he assert tantundem to be in this matter equivalent unto idem{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}?
A90278Doth he not maintain it to be the Offendors own undergoing the Penalty of the Law?
A90278Else, Why is Faith given him at this instant for Christs sake, and not to another, for whom also he died?
A90278For, What is that Love of God which through Christ is effectual to bestow Faith upon the Unbeleeving?
A90278For: 1; Why doth the Lord bestow Faith on Peter, not on Judas?
A90278He purposed from Eternity, to inflict punishment on Sinners: and on what sinners?
A90278He that spared not his Son, but delivered him up to Death for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things?
A90278How then can it possibly be supposed to attain the End spoken of ipso facto?
A90278I ask then, Whence that Assurance doth accrew?
A90278IT is one of the greatest and noblest Questions in our Controverted Divinity, What are the immediate Effects of Christs Death?
A90278If the Second: 1 I desire to know, What is this Intention here assigned to our Saviour?
A90278In respect of punishment abstracting from Persons, the Law was not dispensed withal as to Christ?
A90278In things Real, I gave an Instance before: If a man pay twenty pounds for another who owed it, doth not he pay the idem in the Obligation?
A90278Is it because he was not Primarily in the Obligation?
A90278Is it because the Law doth threaten every man Personally?
A90278Is it from his foresight of their good using their Abilities to fulfil the Condition to them prescribed?
A90278Is it not his main endeavour to prove it so?
A90278Is there any one Argument in my whole Book used to any such purpose?
A90278It is true, he could have made us quickly know it: but who hath been his Counsellour?
A90278Now what excepts M. B. hereunto?
A90278Now what sayes this Argument to the Contrary?
A90278Or will he deny it to be equivalent in Gods Gracious Acceptance?
A90278That dreadful cry, Why hast thou forsaken me?
A90278That is, Whether Christ paid the idem in the Obligation, or tantundum?
A90278That is, Whether God be only a Rector, or a Rector and Creditor also in this Businesse?
A90278They were Potentially in the Purpose of God: but will that make them a meet subject for the Residence of this Right, and Merit whereof we speak?
A90278To what End, you will say, doth Mr Owen adde these Arguments?
A90278What End I pray doth this obtain ipso facto?
A90278What differs this in the Close from absolute freedom?
A90278What now sayes M. B. to this?
A90278What then doth the Lord do, when he thus bestoweth Faith on him?
A90278What then is my Crime?
A90278Whence is this difference?
A90278Where I pray?
A90278Where then is the difference?
A90278Wherein?
A90278Whether Christ paid the idem, or the tantundum?
A90278Why?
A90278Will his words bear any other sense?
A90278Will you deny it?
A90278and if so, Whether it be not the same Penalty( the idem) or no?
A90278never beleeved?
A90278never thought?
A90278or can it require any more?
A02894Alas, why stand yee gazing vp towards heauen?
A02894Am I not to bee consumed as a rotten thing, and as a garment that is moth- eaten?
A02894And although hee were confined to an obscure cottage, yet the rayes of such a candle doe I say?
A02894At what time was he not, which is, and was the Authour of time?
A02894But before thou couldst ascend vnto that verticall point and Meridian of thy glorie, with what massie loades of calamities wert thou oppressed?
A02894But by what meanes, I wonder came the Romanes to know thus much of our Sauiour?
A02894But what was that that drewe the Wise men hither?
A02894First leaf blank?.
A02894For how can the Sonne bee limited by time, which is, and hath been with the Father before all time?
A02894For what else doe yee, but that yee may bee espoused vnto the Diuell?
A02894Hast thou not powred mee out as milke, and crudled mee as cheese?
A02894Haue not holy men that haue totallie deuoted themselues vnto the exercises of religion and piety, beene as ignorant as we are?
A02894How carefully did he ponder euery circumstance?
A02894How cheerefully did hee acknowledge that onely faith must beleeue, what onely God doth effect?
A02894How contemptuously doe they strike him?
A02894How desirous to shake hands with the world, and its emptie vanities, and to resign himselfe into the hands of God?
A02894How despicably do they veyle and hud winke him?
A02894How doe the reprobate rascals, the very froth and scum of basenesse, audaciously dominere and insult ouer him?
A02894How earnestly did hee desire to set a period to a couetous base life, by an infamous and miserable death?
A02894How lauish& prodigall are those Canibals of thy bloud?
A02894How many wide sluces& passages haue they opened for the venting of it?
A02894How shall I sufficiently eyther admire thy power, or prayse thy goodnesse?
A02894How then can it be that I, being of so abiect and corruptible a constitution, should bee saued from death, by the death of the Lord of life?
A02894How thinke you did Christ behaue himselfe in this case?
A02894How was he carried away vvith the streame and torrent of ouerflowing gladnes?
A02894How willing was hee to pay his tribute vnto nature?
A02894In whom?
A02894Let him tell mee, when had hee no being, which had being in a beginning without beginning?
A02894Let me but aske thus much of thee?
A02894Let vs suppose him speaking vnto vs with these words: O my people what haue I done vnto thee, and wherein haue I wearied thee?
A02894O fanaticke and furious miscreants, how could yee dare to murther his Sonne, whose Name yee could not vtter without trembling?
A02894O peruerse and wicked generation, how are your rebellious hearts wrapt in the filme of ignorance?
A02894O what guerdon, what recompence shall man bestow vpon him?
A02894O what sugred psalms& celestial odes were written by Dauid concerning Christ represented vnto him onely in the dim glasse of tipes& figures?
A02894O with what zeale of heart, with what swiftnesse of foot did he flye vnto his Sauiour, so long expected, and now at length exhibited?
A02894Oh good IESU, what is man, that thou so regardest him?
A02894Our Sauiour being brought to this grieuous streight and exigent, his strength fainting, his heart panting, his voyce fayling and euen drops doe I say?
A02894See yee not all the creatures of the world standing agast at the sight of your cruelty?
A02894See yee not the earth shaken, the rocks rent a sunder, the graues opened?
A02894Tell me, whom my soule loueth, where feedest thou?
A02894Then crie wee out, O Lord, what is man, that thou art so mindefull of him, or the Sonne of man that thou so regardest him?
A02894This was that that his Aduersaries so earnestly pursued; should he haue denyed him selfe to haue beene the Sonne of God?
A02894To Pilate?
A02894To the Iewes?
A02894To whom should Christ haue returned an answere?
A02894True it is, that we can not diue into the depth and profundity of it; and what though we can not?
A02894What could haue been done more vnto my Vineyard that I haue not done vnto it?
A02894What followeth?
A02894What full streams& torrēts gushed out at his nostrils?
A02894What now therefore shall I say?
A02894What penne can expresse, what pencill can decipher your hainous and execrable fact?
A02894What shall I now say vnto you sinfull Iewes, by whose barbarous fury, and fatall blindnesse the Son of God was crucified?
A02894What should he haue answered?
A02894When had hee no being which is God from euerlasting?
A02894Wherefore when I looked it should haue brought foorth grapes, beought it foorth thornes, with which now the Temples of my head are wounded?
A02894Wherefore, when I looked for Wine, brought it foorth vinegar to offend my taste?
A02894Why doest thou O Infidell, enquire the reason and cause of this patient silence of our Sauiour?
A02894Why doest thou after his death recrucifie him againe?
A02894Why had shee nothing but myrrhe and gall to quench the thirst of her drooping Lord?
A02894With how relenting a soule, with what sweet showers of teares in the instant before his death, did hee warble out his Swan- like funerall song?
A02894Would yee how vnderstand what virgin was at the birth of Christ?
A02894destitute of wisdome and vnderstanding, how forgetfull wert thou of him that begate thee?
A02894enquiring of him, whether hee can tell who it was that did strike him?
A02894how doe they bafle his doue- like innocency?
A02894how doe they delude his ingenuous simplicitie?
A02894how doe they oppose his truth and sincerity by false& suborned testimonie?
A02894how earnestly did hee embrace him, not onely with the armes of his body, but also of his affection?
A02894how perfunctorily doe wee celebrate it?
A02894what hauocke doe those tyrāts make of thy life?
A02894where lyest thou at noone?
A02894why should not we that liue in these after- times honor him with our prime endeauours?
A02894why stand yee wondring to see the brightnesse and lustre of the day turned to an abortiue night?
A195061. is the worke of a great Faith: yet great reason there is, why wee should doe so, what visible thing should be loued comparable to him that made it?
A19506And yet alas how many are so, liuing in securitie, neuer grieued, nor troubled, with their inhabitant corruption?
A19506But here the men of the world( I know) will obiect and say; Is there any man so beastly, as to fall downe and worship the Diuell?
A19506But what euer they meane by these words of Worship, why do they bowe the knee to things of Gold, siluer, and stone?
A19506Cogitas magnam fabricam construere?
A19506Doest thou thinke to reare a great building of height?
A19506Dost thou thinke that thou canst giue vs so much, as thou striuest to take from vs?
A19506First what hath he vpon him, or about him which is his owne: hath he not borrowed from euery creature to make vp himselfe a begged glory?
A19506How is it that our Sauiour did pray for himselfe?
A19506If he had not died for our sinnes, and risen for our righteousnesse, what could his death and resurrection haue profited vs?
A19506If the Apostle S. Paul had neede of counterpoyse against pride, alas what haue wee?
A19506If the Lord also refuse thee and bid thee depart from him, where away wilt thou goe for comfort?
A19506If thou doe it not, how shall the Lord say of thee, as hee said of Abraham?
A19506If we repent not, how shall we aske?
A19506If wee aske not, how shall it be giuen vs?
A19506In this combat our Lord giues the Aduersarie vantage of the place, and why?
A19506Is not Sathan iustly called a Tempter?
A19506It may truely be said of him, which without a reason Esau said of Iacob; was he not iustly called Iacob?
A19506Magnus esse vis?
A19506Now if Sathan durst call this in doubt to Christ, whether or no hee was the Sonne of God, what maruell if he dare call the like in doubt vnto vs?
A19506O My soule, what hast thou to doe here in this earth?
A19506Shall I goe to him by another Mediator, then by his Sonne, seeing the Father hath proclaimed; This is my Sonne, in whom I am well pleased?
A19506Shall these visible things snare thee, and detaine thee from the inuisible God, from whom thou came?
A19506Since the holie Ghost hath annointed him to this same effect: may wee not now say GOD is with vs, who can be against vs?
A19506So cryed the Iaylor to Paul and Silas; What must I doe to be saued?
A19506So were the Iewes pricked in their hearts at the preaching of Peter, saying; What shall we doe?
A19506So were the Publicanes moued, at the preaching of Iohn the Baptist, to cry, What shall we doe?
A19506That all Iacobs sonnes are within the couenant, not so all Abrahams what doth it teach vs?
A19506They haue reiected( saith Ieremie) the word of the Lord, and what wisdome then can be in them?
A19506VVHy troubles thou me by laying my sinnes to my charge?
A19506Wee neede not now to say, Who shall ascend into heauen?
A19506What a dispensation is this, all the sonnes of Iacob are pertakers of the externall Adoption, not so the sonnes of Abraham?
A19506What can Sathan giue vnto a man worthy of that which he would haue from him?
A19506What cause of thankes giuing is this that so many families of Iaphet pretermitted, we are brought within the couenant?
A19506What greater glory hath hee, then that hee is the Father of lights, from whom euery good gift doth descend?
A19506What then wil be the reason of this festiuall conception?
A19506Where if ye obiect vnto mee, how is it then, that Sathan is called by the Apostle, the God of this world?
A19506Where is the fruit of thy labours, O wretched worldling, in the heauen?
A19506Where wilfully men neglect to get knowledge by the Word, what maruell Sathan easily snare them both in Religion and manners?
A19506Wherein did the greatest happinesse of our Lords progenitors consist?
A19506Why is this done?
A19506Wilt thou be great?
A19506and that the three Children are commended, for that they would not bowe the knee to fall downe and worship Nabuchadnezars Golden Image?
A19506for comfort of the earth where is it?
A19506how shall that conception be esteemed holy, which is not of the holy Ghost, but of sinne?
A19506is it not that hee may haue matter whereupon to accuse vs to our GOD, and why accuseth he vs?
A19506may we looke for an other Sauiour, or is there a new sacrifice to be made for sinne?
A19506or how shall it be honoured with a feast, which is not holy?
A19506or more able, seeing hee is almightie?
A19506shall wee seeke from another the fulfilling of our necessities then from him, is there any eyther more willing to help seeing hee is our father?

A29747And if I be a Master, where is my Fear?
A29747And may not the Believer with much more admiration cry out, And whence is this to me, that my Lord himself should come to me?
A29747And not only so, but come to me, and dwell and abide with me?

A29747Can fire or water, harm a Soul, who is a Habitation for Christ?
A29747Can he, or dare he cast it down?

A29747How I say, shall such win to any clearness concerning their Hope, or what shall they do for strengthening of the same?

A31083And whence should a sacrifice be taken, of value sufficient to expiate for so manifold enormities, committed against the infinite Majesty of Heaven?
A31083Are we not hence infinitely obliged with most humble affection and hearty gratitude to adore each person of the B. Trinity?
A31083Aut verò pro minimo haber Deus hominem, propter quem mori voluit filium suum?
A31083But how could God undertake the business?
A31083But how could this happy design well be compassed?
A31083But how might these things be effected?
A31083Can a heart void of mercy and pity with any reason or modesty pretend to the mercies and compassions of the cross?
A31083Can we hope, that God for Christs sake will pardon us, if we for Christs sake will not forgive our neighbour?
A31083Can we imagine it a very happy thing to be high and prosperous in this world, to swim in affluence and pleasure?
A31083Could God alone contract and stipulate with God in our behalf?
A31083Cur si Deus fuit,& mori voluit, non saltem honesto aliquo mortis genere affectus est?
A31083Did ever any Conquerour loftily seated in his triumphal chariot yield a spectacle so gallant and magnificent?
A31083Have we not abundant reason with the Holy Apostle, to joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have received the atonement?
A31083How at least could we for one moment stand upright in Gods sight, upon the natural terms, excluding all sin, and exacting perfect obedience?
A31083How can any serious reflection on this event fail to work hearty gratitude in us toward our good Lord?
A31083How can the meditation on this event do otherwise than hugely deterr us from all wilful disobedience and commission of sin?
A31083How can we reflect upon this event without extreme displeasure against, and hearty detestation of our sins?
A31083How could we revive to any good hope, who were dead in trespasses and sins, God having withdrawn his quickning Spirit?
A31083If ever we be tempted to doubt of Gods goodness, will not this experiment thereof convince and satisfie us?
A31083Is it strange that so hearty a love, so tender a pity, contemplating our sinfulness, and experimenting our wretchedness, should be deeply touched?
A31083Of which humane resentment may we not observe a touch in that expostulation, Be ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves?
A31083Quae superbia sanari potest, si humilitate filii Dei non sanatur?
A31083Quis beatam vitam esse arbitretur in iis, quae contemnenda esse docuit filius Dei?

A31083What surer ground can there be of faith in God, what stronger encouragement of hope, than is suggested by this consideration?
A31083Where on earth, among the degenerate sons of Adam, could be found such an High Priest, as became us; holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners?
A31083Where, in heaven or earth, could there be found a Priest sit to atone for sins so vastly numerous, so extremely hoinous?
A31083Who can disdain or despise a state of sorrow and disgrace, which he by voluntary susception of it, hath so dignified and graced?
A31083Who could presume to sollicit and plead in our behalf?
A31083Who had so great an interest in the Court of Heaven, as to ingratiate such a brood of apostate enemies thereto?

A31083Who now can admire those splendid trifles, which our Lord never did regard in his life, and which at his death only did serve to mock and abuse him?
A31083Who should dare to put himself between God and us, or offer to skreen mankind from the Divine wrath and vengeance?
A31083Would the Son of God have so emptied, and abased himself for nothing?
A31083Would the great Patron of justice relax the terms of it, or ever permit a gross breach thereof to pass with impunity?
A31083Would the omnipotent Majesty so affronted, design to treat with his rebels immediately, without an intercessour or advocate?
A31083and, how could a man, however innocent and pure as a Seraphin, so perform his duty, as to do more than merit or satisfie for himself?
A31083as there spreading out his hands, with them earnestly inviting and intreating us to accept the overtures of grace, procured by him for us?
A31083by what computation can we reckon that debt?
A31083could he become a suitor or intercessor to his offended self?
A31083could he present a sacrifice, or disburse a satisfaction to his own justice?
A31083for how thereby can we violate such engagements, and thwart such an example of obedience?
A31083how abominable must be that iniquity, which might not be expiated without so costly a sacrifice?
A31083how deplorable is that misery, which could not be removed without commutation of so strange a suffering?
A31083how great is that impotency, which did need such a succour to relieve it?
A31083how thereby can we abuse so wonderful goodness, and disoblige so transcendent charity?
A31083how( as the Apostle doth argue) shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
A31083so that now what can Justice exact more from us?
A31083those sins which indeed did bring such tortures and such disgraces upon our blessed Redeemer?
A31083was ever tree adorned with trophees so pompous and splendid?
A31083what capacity of mind or will had we to entertain mercy, who were no less stubbornly perverse and obdurate in our crimes, than ignorant or infirm?
A31083what faculties have we sufficient to discharge it?
A31083what finite heart can hold an affection commensurate to such an obligation?
A31083what have we farther to do, than with a penitent and thankful heart to embrace the mercy purchased for us?
A31083where was there a mediatour proper and worthy to intercede for us?
A31083will it not stain all our pride, and check our wantonness?
A31083would he have endured such pains and ignominies for a trifle?
A85737And how went Christ forth conquering and to conquer?
A85737And what else doe the embracers of forraine and strange inventions, but deny and disanull the jurisdiction and dominion of Christ?

A85737Doe we build on Christ as on a sure rocke?
A85737Doe we by the bucket of faith draw waters of salvation out of Christ, as out of a living fountaine?
A85737Doe we make Christ our treasure, our crowne, our royall roabe of righteousnesse?

A85737Hast thou reconciliation and acceptation with God?
A85737Have not we beene hearers of thy word, frequenters of thy house, receivers of thy Sacrament, and shall not we be saved?
A85737How blind are they who sleight the light of this Sun?

A85737If there be light enough in the Sunne what needs a candle?
A85737If you aske me how or in what manner Christ begins to live in man?
A85737If you aske me whence it is that Christ is so unwelcome, that many of us are so farre from rejoycing in his comming?
A85737If you demand therefore how a man may discerne his being without Christ?
A85737Is Christ the Author and worker of spirituall life?
A85737Is it of themselves?
A85737Joram once asking, is it peace, Jehu?
A85737Living to God what?
A85737Such is mans aversenesse from Christ, that God alone can worke man into Christ: But perhaps some will say, What is this to us?
A85737The Question therefore here will be, how a man may discerne the truth and soundnes of his hope?
A85737What a shame for a man to professe such a man to be his Master, and yet deny him all service, and shut the doores of the house against him?

A041922 But what kind of blessing did our Apostle meane?
A041922 But who amongst all the first borne of women was in his kind or by nature cleane?
A041922 Was he then whilst hee lived here on earth, a Priest after the order of Melchisedech, and by this title authorized to offer sacrifice?
A041923 But is it intimated or fore- told by either of them, that he should be as truly David''s Lord, as David''s Sonne?
A041924 But is this passage from this vale of misery to a better life any where in Scripture called a Passeover?
A041924 May wee Christians then call the Friday be fore Easter our day of Attonement, or the Dominicall next after it the great Sabbath?
A041925 But shall we be concluded from these premisles to say that Ierusalem and Iudah were destroyed immediately upon our Saviour''s Ascension?
A041926 What then, had David and his sonnes no prerogative above other Kings or Princes?
A041926 Will yee have a more particular map in what manner the blessing of Abraham descends upon us by this our high Priest?
A041927. v. 3. that he was 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, made like unto the Son of God?
A041928 May wee not then believe that hee was three daies and three nights in the belly of the earth?
A041928. Who is this King of Glory?
A04192A solemne Calling or Designement unto this high Office or Prelacy?
A04192And what more could be said( in the assertive sence) of our high Priest?
A04192And who shall stand in his holy place?
A04192And your labour for that which satisfieth not?
A04192As how?
A04192But how shall wee lift them up, or what power have we to lift them up?
A04192But if it be demanded what this blessing promised was?
A04192But what more then so?
A04192But why alie, or vanitie?
A04192Could Melchisedech''s office be greater, or his patent ampler, especially for duration?
A04192Did God make promise of no more favour and grace to David and to his ordinary seed then he had done to Saul?
A04192Hee was taken from prison, and from judgment, and who shall declare his generation?
A04192How then are they to be amended?
A04192How then doth God performe this promise unto Abraham?
A04192If no Priest at all, what had hee to doe to offer any Sacrifice, especially a bloody one?
A04192In one and the same Chapter, it is said oftner then once, that God did repent him of making Saul King of Israel: What is the reason?
A04192In what forme or sort?
A04192Is he a vessell wherein is no pleasure?
A04192Is this man Coniah a despised broken I dol?
A04192Is this the only scale by which we are to measure it?
A04192It followes in the second verse, Wherefore doe yee spend money for that which is not bread?
A04192Or is it any part of the true meaning or importance of this solemne feast?
A04192Or rather was the manhood or likenesse in which he appeared to Abraham made like unto the Sonne of God?
A04192Quor sum e ● im narratio in re manifesta& ante ● ● ● sos posita?
A04192Secondly, wherein the Priesthood of Melchisedech did consist?
A04192Shall we then take his testimony by a letter without an oath for a just proofe, whose oath though he laid hold upon the Altar no man would trust?
A04192Suppose a man should here interrupt the Reader, or relater of this History thus; What if hee were a Priest of the most high God?
A04192That the omission of every mans Genealogie, whose name or deeds are specified in the sacred Story, is alwayes a signe or token of some latent mystery?
A04192The hill of God is as the hill of* Bashan, an high hill as the hill of Bashan, Why leape yee, yee high hills?
A04192Thirdly, what divine Designement, or calling the Sonne of God had to his everlasting Priesthood?
A04192To what purpose is this clause inserted?
A04192Verball only or by way of salutation?
A04192Was her observation then of the Law concerning Purification either a will- worship, or affected worke of supererogation?
A04192Was the Sonne of God made like unto himselfe by taking the likenesse of man upon him?
A04192Was this Covenant yet to make, being made before first with Abraham, then renewed with David?

A04192What generation did the Prophet meane ● The eternall generation of the son of God?
A04192What then did hee want why he might not be reputed in wise- mens censure a good Governour or Commander?
A04192What was that?
A04192What was the Blessing promised and confirmed by oath?
A04192Wherefore are they ▪ cast out, he and his seede, and are cast into a land which they know not?
A04192Who is that son of man?
A04192Who shall abide in thy Tabernacle, or who shall abide in thy holy hill?
A04192and what calling hee had to such a Priesthood?
A04192of the dayly reiterated sacrifice of the masse, or of the one only sacrifice of the Sonne of God?
A04192or how Melchisedech, whosoever he were, did represent or shadow out the person of the Sonne of God?
A04192or wherein did Melchisedech''s sacerdotall function more excellently fore- picture our Saviours Priesthood, then the Priesthood of Aaron did?
A04192or wherein it differred from the Priesthood of Aaron?
A5183753.8, He shall be taken from prison and judgement; therefore Man: yet who shall declare his generation?
A51837According to what nature doth this office belong to Christ, Divine or Humane?
A51837All things were made by him: What, all without exception?
A51837And are not these great Points?
A51837And how by him?
A51837And must this Religion that condemneth all frauds, and doing evil that good may come of it be supported by a lye?
A51837And that ye put on the New man which after God is created in Righteousness and true Holiness?
A51837And what blessing was that?
A51837Believe ye that I am able to do this?
A51837Besides, if he had it then how could he want it now?
A51837But how do we receive this atonement?
A51837But how is he infinite, if he hath onely a finite Nature, such as a mere Creature hath?
A51837But why was a Ransom necessary?
A51837Did God ever speak to him, or appear to him?
A51837Did the Winds and Seas obey Christ?
A51837Did they do this by command of God?
A51837For the first objection, how was Christ the first, since many were raised before him?
A51837God is offended, and what peace can they have?
A51837Hath God said?
A51837He that brought such multitudes of creatures out of the dark Chaos, hath he forgotten what is become of our dust?
A51837He that gave Life and Being to that which before was not, can not he raise the dead?
A51837He that made the world out of nothing, can not he raise the dead?
A51837He was God: What did he then do?
A51837His Attributes yours, his Providences yours, his Promises yours, what may not you promise your selves from him?
A51837His Kingly Office: How can that be exercised without an Infinite Power?
A51837How can a Magistrate be said to forgive an offender, when the offender beareth the punishment, which the Law determineth?
A51837How he made all things?
A51837How he made all things?
A51837How he received this Doctrine from the Father?
A51837How is Christ an Head to this Body?
A51837How is it a part or fruit of Redemption?
A51837How was he the first- born?
A51837If God be your God, why should you be troubled?''
A51837If he were not perswaded of it, would he say to Christ, My Lord, and my God?
A51837If it were not by his express commandment, would he suffer such an attempt to go unpunished?
A51837If the Fear of God be true Wisdom, to whom should we seek for it, but from the Wise God?
A51837In the beginning; where was the Word?
A51837Iohn begins his Gospel with the dignity of Christs Person, and how doth he set it forth?
A51837Is there any time, or manner, or speech noted by the Evangelists when God made this Revelation?
A51837Is there any work which the one doth, but the other can not do?
A51837It concerns us much to see whether we be in peace or trouble, if in trouble you see the cure, if in peace the next question is, is it Gods peace?
A51837It should be a check to our sluggishness, and mispense of Time: doth God now continue me?
A51837Now can not he put our disordered souls in frame again?
A51837Now shall we doubt of it?
A51837Now this should strike our hearts?
A51837Now what is a divine, and infinite Power if this be not?
A51837Now who can convert himself, or chang ● his own heart?
A51837Now who could do all this but God?
A51837Or how could his finite Nature, without change and conversion into another Nature, be made infinite?
A51837Secondly, Why the Creation of Angels is so particularly mentioned and insisted upon?
A51837Shall poor worms make bold with his Laws, slight his doctrine, despise his benefits?
A51837That Christ as Creator beareth such Affection to man as the work of his hands: Is it good unto thee that thou shouldst despise the work of thy hands?
A51837Then the creature would be independent, and whether God will or no they would conserve their being, and then how should God Govern the World?
A51837Thirdly, How is this an evidence and assurance to all good Christians, of their happy and glorious Resurrection?
A51837Thirdly, Why the Creation of Angels is so particularly and expresly mentioned?
A51837Thou hast layed the burden of all this people upon me, have I conceived this people?
A51837To whom then will ye liken God?
A51837Was it a personal priviledge peculiar to them only?
A51837We are still sinning against God, either we are omiting good, or committing evil, what will we do if we be not forgiven?
A51837Well then before any creature was Christ had a divine Glory, how had it he?
A51837What are the parts of his headship?
A51837What can the Father do which the Son can not do also?
A51837What is Redemption by the blood of Christ?
A51837What light can we see in a Candle when the Sun shineth in his full strength?
A51837What matter is it whether I be a Dog or a Man, a Beast or an Angel, if I serve not the end for which I was made?
A51837What reverence do we owe to him who is our Creator and Preserver as well as Redeemer?
A51837What shall I say?
A51837What this Reconciliation is?
A51837When did he make the angels?
A51837When he made the Angels?
A51837Who can interpret these speeches and A ● ● ributes, but of one who is God- Man?
A51837Why this Excellency of our Redeemer should be so deeply impressed upon our minds and hearts?
A51837Why this should be much upon our minds and hearts?
A51837Will Christ fail us?
A51837You glory in your Riches, and preeminence now, but how long will you do so?
A51837Your own Resurrection, what may facilitate our belief and hope of it?
A51837and to raise men to those inclinations, and affections to which nature is an utter stranger?
A51837by the Creation of the World, by the Eternal Word; and what he saith, is an answer to these questions, When was the Word?
A51837can Ministers Preach, Print, too much of them?
A51837can private Christian Hear, Read, Meditate too much of them?
A51837containing the very vitals of Gospel Revelation?
A51837he did not answer as Iacob did to Rachel,( when she said, Give me children or I dye) Am I in the place of God?
A51837of a very sublime nature?
A51837or Abraham see him?
A51837or can not God govern the World without countenancing such a deceit?
A51837or how are we interessed in it?
A51837or is it possible that such Holy persons as our Lord Jesus and his Apostles were, could be guilty of such an Imposture?
A51837or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
A51837the first- fruits?
A51837the first- raised from the Dead?
A51837to have a Divine Nature put into us?
A51837to what end and purpose?
A51837was he not still the Image of God in our nature?
A51837what is there among all the Creatures that can be like such an infinite and almighty essense?
A51837what shall we do?
A51837when he sitteth at the right hand of God, till he hath made his ● oes his Footstool?
A51837who shall make us of unclean to become pure and holy?
A51837with God; what was the Word?
A51837would he witness from Heaven this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased?
A51837〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, what then shall we understand by things in heaven?
A62619Again; What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
A62619And again, Is there any God besides me?
A62619And can it then be reasonable to suppose such a thing?
A62619And can they discern no Difficulty, no Absurdity in this?
A62619And is it not every whit as possible for God, if he so please, to unite himself to human Nature, as it is for the Soul to be united to the Body?
A62619And that the Apostle describes Idolatry to be, the giving service, or worship, to things which by Nature are no Gods?
A62619And what are we, that the eternal and only begotten Son of God should condescend to do all this for us?
A62619And what is this less in effect than to say, That there are three Gods?
A62619And why may not the Chaos signify that state of darkness and ignorance in which the World was before the giving of the Law by Moses?
A62619And will they in good earnest contest this matter with us, that the giving Divine Worship to a mere Creature is not Idolatry?
A62619Are there no Mysteries in Religion?
A62619Are we not all the Sons of Adam, who was the Son of God?
A62619But in the mean time where is ingenuity and love of Truth?
A62619But to what purpose?
A62619But why then did they not do it?
A62619Did he not appear the first time without Sin?
A62619Do they consider how often God hath declar''d that he will not give his glory to another?
A62619For had Sin been so easily forgiven, who would have been sensible of the great evil of it, or afraid to offend for the future?
A62619For how can this possibly agree with that which follows and is given as the reason why Christ is said to be the first- born of every Creature?
A62619For what are We?
A62619For why should we take upon us to set limits to infinite Wisdom, and pretend to know the utmost extent of it?
A62619His vouchsafing to assume our Nature, and to reside and converse so long with us?
A62619How is that?
A62619Is it now possible for any man to read this Passage and yet not to be convinced that the Disciples understood our Saviour to speak literally?
A62619Is there not One God, and are we not all his Offspring?
A62619Men may eternally wrangle about any thing, but what a frivolous contention, what a trifling in serious matters, what barretrie in Divinity is this?
A62619Mother of our Lord, how should our Souls, upon that blessed occasion, magnify the Lord, and our Spirits rejoyce in God our Saviour?
A62619Now where doth the force of this Argument lye, if not in this?
A62619That He should submit to so poor and low a Condition, to such dreadful and disgraceful Sufferings for our sakes?
A62619That the High and Glorious Majesty of Heaven should stoop down to the Earth, and be contented to be clothed with Misery and Mortality?
A62619The Word was made flesh: What a step is here made in order to the reconciling of Men to God?
A62619What an everlasting Fountain of the most invaluable Blessings and Benefits to Mankind is the Incarnation of the Son of God?
A62619What can be the meaning of this Caution?
A62619What is the mystery of this?
A62619What shall perish, and wax old, and be changed?
A62619What shall we render to thee for such mighty love, for such inestimable benefits as thou hast purchas''d for us and art ready to confer upon us?
A62619What?
A62619What?
A62619Who can believe this?
A62619Why do we then deal treacherously every man against his brother?
A62619Why?
A62619Would not this be in effect to say, that God hath written a great Book to puzzle and confound, but not to instruct and teach Mankind?
A62619Yes, say they, why not?
A62619and what is the Connection of it with the foregoing Discourse?
A62619but may ask further, Is God divided?
A62619hath not One God created us?
A62619how great is thy Goodness?
A62619how infinite are thy tender Mercies and Compassions to Mankind?
A62619no Absurdity in a God as it were but of yesterday?
A62619no absurdity in bringing Idolatry by a back- door into the Christian Religion, one main Design whereof was to banish Idolatry out of the World?
A62619nothing that feels like inconsistency and Contradiction?
A62619nothing that is contrary to Reason and good sense?
A02849And further, seeing I am ioyfull in receiuing these harmes, wherefore art thou displeased with those who doe them?
A02849And wilt not thou regard more my sufferings, then any mans sinnes?
A02849But where art thou?
A02849Couldest not thou as easily giue as aske?
A02849Do I die only for small offenders?
A02849Doe I die for any other end, but that all offenders may bee forgiuen?
A02849For how could they desire to bee pardoned, who would not acknowledge that they did offend?
A02849For what can proceed from this carion, which is not noisome?
A02849For what iustice could bee required against those who were pardoned?
A02849For what reason or iustice is it, that thy Sauiour crie and weepe for thee, and not thou for thy selfe?
A02849For whom?
A02849Hadst thou not power in thy selfe to pardon sinnes?
A02849How fierie is the force of thy Spirit?
A02849How inestimable was thy loue towards miserable man?
A02849How much more forcible was this prayer of thy sonne vpon the Crosse for sinners, then was his prayer in the garden for himselfe?
A02849How offensiue art thou to the heauenly Father?
A02849How shall I desperately dare to esteeme any man my enemy, seeing thou wouldest bee a friend and brother to all?
A02849How should man be offended, when GOD is appeased?
A02849How?
A02849If my death can not appease thy wrath, what then can doe it?
A02849If thou didst pardon those who desired no pardon; wilt thou not pardon him, who with sorrow and teares entreateth thy pardon?
A02849If thou hearest not the prayers of thy Sonne, whose prayers then wilt thou heare?
A02849In case thou wilt not reuenge thy wrongs, yet wherefore doest thou not leaue them to thy fathers pleasure?
A02849In what estate esteemest thou thy selfe, whensoeuer thou doest voluntarily aduenture to sin?
A02849In what manner?
A02849Many haue prayed for themselues, many for their friends: but who euer before in this sort prayed for his enemies?
A02849O infinite goodnesse ▪ what wit is able either to acknowledge, or apprehend such exceeding loue?
A02849One word from thy selfe might haue serued the turne: wherefore then didst thou intreate thy Father to forgiue?
A02849Or lastly was it to manifest, that thou wert so intentiue to the redemption of the world, that thou wert not offended with any thing they did?
A02849Or was it to shew, that thou madest greater reckoning of the iniurie done to thy Fathers glorie, then of the violence vsed against thine owne life?
A02849Seeing the party offended forgiue 〈 ◊ 〉 the wrong, at whose suit will thy iustice prosecute?
A02849Seeing thou madest no reckoning of the nailes which pierced thy handes and thy feete, shall I make account of an angry or disgracefull word?
A02849The Law sayth, Eie for eie, hand for hand, life for life ▪ And what auayleth it thee, that these offendours must now be forgiuen?
A02849Thou didst once grant victory when Moses held vp his hands vnto thee; and wilt thou nothing regard the stretching foorth of my bleeding hands?
A02849Thou didst pardō those who would not be pardoned,& shall pardon bee denied to those who ardently desire it?
A02849Thou didst pray for those who tormented and blasphemed thee; and wilt thou not pray for those who pray vnto thee?
A02849To whom did he pray?
A02849WHo then was it that thus did pray?
A02849What adamant heart would not breake?
A02849What ease is this to thy torments?
A02849What hath Iustice to doe when no man complaines?
A02849What shall wee say of thy exceeding goodnesse?
A02849What shall wee say?
A02849What then can make atonement betweene thee and sinners?
A02849When?
A02849Where was it?
A02849Wherefore crauest thou forgiuene ● ● without either satisfaction or submission for their offence?
A02849Wherefore hast thou no pitie vpon thy innocent flesh?
A02849Wherefore intreatest thou without intreatie?
A02849Wherefore seemest thou so little to regard thy life?
A02849but thou must also plead their cause before him?
A02849hast thou but one defence for all sinners?
A02849how contemptible a thing is man, if hee aduanceth not aboue humane cogitations?
A02849how deepely dangerous to the state of our soules?
A02849how great are thy mercies towards miserable sinners?
A02849how great was the worke of the Redemption of the world?
A02849how is thy condition suddenly changed?
A02849how truely had the Iewes saide of thee before: Neuer man spake, as he speaketh?
A02849is not my death sufficient for all?
A02849more my charitie in dying for my tormentors, then their malice iu putting mee to death?
A02849or that thou diddest both absolutely and earnestly intreat thy Father to pardon?
A02849or wherefore seemest thou to neglect thy mournefull Mother?
A02849regarding more the good that the world was redeemed, then the hurt that thou didst die?
A02849that thou didst not esteeme them malefactors to thee, but benefactors to all the world?
A02849that thou tookest all in good part?
A02849then the Prophet Dauid once demanded, Where are thy ancient mercies?
A02849thy dispersed Disciples thy heauie followers and friends?
A02849thy martyred members?
A02849to see thee at once to smite thy Fathers cares with thy prayers, and to mollifie his heart with thy sighes and grones?
A02849was it not sufficient, either that thou didst pardon their sinnes?
A02849was it to declare thy selfe to bee a perfect Priest, in furnishing thy sacrifice with prayer?
A02849were they thy cruell crucifiers?
A02849what a maruellous example hast thou giuen, both of patience and of loue?
A02849what can I want if I haue thee?
A02849what charitie burned in thy diuine breast?
A02849what earthy spirit would not be moued, as the whole earth was?
A02849what fruit canst thou expect from this earth, which thou hast cursed from the beginning, but thornes and briers?
A02849what good to thy selfe?
A02849what humane iudgement?
A02849what inflamed charity did sparkle in thy speeches?
A02849what is the reason that thou doest pray to thy Father to forgiue?
A02849what leaden eyes would not melt into teares?
A02849what shall thy SAVIOVR say for thy excuse?
A02849what should beco0me of you and all mankinde, If I should now die in displeasure or discontent?
A02849what them didst thou meane?
A02849what them wouldest thou haue forgiuen?
A02849when Moses and Aaron offered a little incense for them; and wilt thou not forgiue these for whom I wholly offer my selfe?
A02849wherefore doest thou desire that the blood of CHRIST, appointed to redeeme thee, should bee turned to condemne thee?
A02849wherefore should not Iustice run her course?
A02849wherfore doest thou so earnestly entreat for sinners?
A02849who can despaire of thy goodnes?
A02849who cast all the blame vpon IESVS?
A02849who dares distrust it?
A02849who held him to haue deserued worse then he suffered?
A02849who shall dare to take reuenge of light iniuries, seeing thou didst pray for those who tormented thee to death?
A02849who were they for whom thou diddest pray?
A02849who would not pardon him by whom they were to be pardoned?
A02849who would pardon Barrabbas, a murtherer among them; but not IESVS who came to saue them?
A02849with greater reason may wee now demand, Where is thy ancient wrath?
A43133Against whom have you taken up Arms?
A43133All Men know that Myrrh sticketh as fast as Pitch or Glue?
A43133And can any of us be less worthily, or more shamefully punished?
A43133And how can this be, when we think our selves dishonoured, if we revenge not the least Indignity that is done unto us?
A43133And is it not more against the Law of Justice, to condemn the Innocent, than to discharge and acquit the Guilty?
A43133And the Governour said, What evil hath he done?
A43133Are we of greater value than thou?
A43133Behold the Peace maker of the World is judged a seditious Person?
A43133But O Redeemer of our Lives, wherefore is it thy pleasure that we should not weep for thee?
A43133But stay let us consider, and run not so fast by so high a Mystery: What new thing is this?
A43133But when, O gracious Lord?
A43133But wherefore did our Saviour call Judas Friend, when he had betrayed him?
A43133But wherefore did our Saviour pray, That if it were possible this Cup might pass from him?
A43133But whither doth our Lord go?
A43133But with respect to our Saviour what can be sufficiently said?
A43133Can any Man believe that you would either omit to enquire after such Circumstances, or else conceal it, if it had been found?
A43133Did ever any trust in God and was not delivered?
A43133Did he not freely and voluntarily offer up himself for Sin to save Sinners?
A43133Dost thou make so small an account of the loss of thy Life?
A43133For how doth he love thee, that weepeth not at thy most cruel Torment?
A43133For if the Disciples had stollen away the Body of Jesus, to what end should the Clothes have been left?
A43133God handleth thee no otherwise than he did his only Son?
A43133He that delivered others from Devils, could he not have delivered himself from you?
A43133He that hath power to give Life unto the Dead, could he not have kept himself in Life?
A43133He that is so inclinable to forgive Sins, and to give Glory, wherein can he be hard or unkind to us?
A43133How can we be Members of Christ, if we will not participate with him in his Suffering?
A43133How shall we sinful Wretches expect to find any Mercy with thee, seeing thou art so seve ● … e against thy only Son?
A43133How then may we count it Justice, which doth not only release Offenders, but also punisheth the Innocent?
A43133If thou wert so mighty in thy greatest Weakness, what wilt thou be in thy gre ● … test Glory?
A43133Is any Clog so heavy, any Chain so strong, that, can either hold or hinder us from hastening unto thee?
A43133Is any thi ● … more admirable?
A43133Is any thing more admirab ● … than this?
A43133Is it not a sufficient Satisfaction for our Sins, a sufficient Price for our Redemption?
A43133Is it possible that there should remain in the World any Footsteps of Pride, after this admirable Example of Patience?
A43133Is it probable, O ye stiff- necked Jews, that any Thief would have been so religious as to have stollen the Body and left the Clothes?
A43133Justice hath sound out a way to strike the Innocent, and can not Mercy find a means to save the Guilty?
A43133No, Lord: Can a small weak Wind stay a heavy Stone in the Air from falling to its natural Place?
A43133Nothing satisfie but Death?
A43133O great Redeemer of the World, if all Creatures did fear thee when hanging upon the Cross, what will they do when thou shalt come to Judgment?
A43133Or did God ever finally forsake those whom he favours?
A43133Or is delirance from temporal Calamities, an assured Sign of God''s Favour?
A43133Or is it thy pleasure we should not weep for thy Death, but the Workers of thy Death?
A43133Or must he deliver whom you please, or when you please, or after what manner you will prescribe?
A43133Or wherefore dost thou consent we should weep for our selves, and not for thee?
A43133Our Saviour did not only permit Judas to kiss him, but he did also smite his obstinate Heart with this soft Speech, Friend, wherefore comest thou?
A43133Pilate saith unto them, What shall I then do unto Jesus, which is called Christ?
A43133Poor and miserable Jews, whom do you thus hale away?
A43133Seeing we have so rich a Treasure, so liberal a Distributer of the same; how is it possible we should not rise in Hope?
A43133Shall we so little value the shedding of thy most precious Blood?
A43133Shall we with Reverence leave this high and obscure Mystery, among many others to thy Divine Judgment?
A43133Should not the Father handle thee as a Sinner, seeing he findeth thee so charged with Sins?
A43133The Spirit of a Man shall sustain his other Infirmities: But a wounded Spirit who can hear?
A43133This bloody Sweat, whereof every drop is of greater value than a Thousand Worlds?
A43133Thou didst weep for Lazarus; thou didst also weep for the Stones and Walls of Jerusalem, and wilt thou not permit us to weep for thee?
A43133To whom did they more properly belong than to the Body that was enfolded in them?
A43133Was God thus angry against Sin?
A43133Was the Ju ● … tice of God so rigorous?
A43133Was the Re ● … emption of Man so preciou ● …?
A43133Were it not more Justice, that we the Offenders, should suffer for our own Deserts, than that our innocent Lord should thus be tormented for them?
A43133Were thy Executioners so covetous as to enjoy thy Apparel, or were they so cruel to encrease thy Shame?
A43133What Courtesie between the Lamb and the Wolf?
A43133What Law of Equity or Justice is it, to command us to love thee, and yet to forbid us to weep for thee?
A43133What can we say for our selves, so wretched as we are?
A43133What doth stay our Hearts, O Lord, that they run not unto thee?
A43133What has he to do upon this stinking Hill of Calvary, which being a place of common Execution, is tainted with pu ● … rified Bodies?
A43133What hast thou to deal with Traytors and Tormentors?
A43133What have we, Lord, that we have not received from thee?
A43133What is this that thy innocent Son, thy only Son, thy Son in whom thou art well pleased, in this humble and heavy manner laboureth before thee?
A43133What shall I say?
A43133What shall we further say?
A43133What shall we say?
A43133What so senseless, which it will not say or do, either to attain or maintain some devi ● … sh Design?
A43133Wherefore should we murmur or repine at any Trouble that doth befal us?
A43133Wherefore then do we not love: wherefore do we not desire thee with that ardency wherewith all Creatures do love and desire the place of their Rest?
A43133Wherefore then is thy innocent and only Son, begotten of thy Substance, forsaken of thee?
A43133Wherefore then, O good Jesus, was this Extremity used against thee?
A43133Who is so liberal as he who hath given himself for so vile Creatures?
A43133Who so loving as he, who hath not spared himself for his very Enemies?
A43133Who then will be so foolish to take all pains to please it?
A43133Who will be so base as to fawn upon it for a few crumbs of such fading Credits?
A43133Who will trust the Love of this World, which is so uncertain?
A43133Will you know the Reason?
A43133With whom?
A43133Would we have our Prayers heard?
A43133Would ● … o other Satisfaction se ● … ve?
A43133at the great Solemnity of the Passover, even when they did celebrate the Figure of him: In what place?
A43133didst thou not only release Offenders, but with Caiaphas the High- Priest, cause the Innocent, without cause, to be smitten?
A43133do you think God was not able to deliver him out of your Hands?
A43133dost thou betray the Son of Man with a Kiss?
A43133even with Malefactors: When?
A43133how deeply was thy Beauty, and thy Majesty over clouded with Disgrace?
A43133how far is it beyond all Folly, to carry him with Bands of Men, that went of his own Accord?
A43133how far is the Love and Liberty of Christ extended?
A43133how far is the Madness of the World?
A43133in the great Year of Jubilee: Upon what Day?
A43133in the principal strength and beauty of his Age: In what Year?
A43133into whose Brain could it sink, that he would break away that went voluntarily himself?
A43133nay to be more careful of what the world will say of them, than what God shall say of them in the last day?

A43133what would you have more?
A43133wherefore did you misreport what Jesus had said?
A43133yea, when no moderate either Satisfaction of Revenge, will suffice to appease us?
A30208( saith the Apostle) or by the hearing of Faith?
A302081. the Apostle advancing the Lord Jesus, brings in this question, To which of the Angels said he at any time, thou art my Sonne?
A3020813, 14. he shall take of mine; what is that?
A3020813.?
A302082, Notes for div A30208-e9020* If works would do it, what need as there of Faith?
A3020825 But you will say, is there a man made mention of here?
A302083, 4, 5, 6, and 7. verses, the words are these, And they( viz the Disciples) said among themselves, Who shall roll away the stone?
A3020838. and you shall see it was Jesus of Nazareth; would you know who that was?
A30208Again, see Peters testimony of this sonne of Mary; When Jesus asked his Disciples, Whom say ye that I am?
A30208Ah friends put a red hot oven, and stubble together, and what work will the ● e be?
A30208And Jesus said to them, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
A30208And can you prove it by the Scriptures?
A30208And first, Thou thinkest that thou art a Christian; thou shouldst be sorry else; well, but when did God shew thee that thou wert no Christian?
A30208And if you ask, how is it possible that this should be done?
A30208And indeed, who are the men that at this day are so deluded by the Quakers, and other pernicious Doctrines?
A30208And is that all?
A30208And is that all?
A30208And what shall he doe when he comes?
A30208And where is this man, that was borne of the virgin, that we may come to the father by him?
A30208Are ye so foolish, having begun in the spirit, are ye made perfect by the flesh?
A30208Art thou born again?
A30208Art thou born again?
A30208Art thou born again?
A30208Art thou born again?
A30208Art thou borne againe?
A30208Art thou borne againe?
A30208Art thou borne againe?
A30208But are you sure it is the same that we look for?
A30208But did this man rise again from the dead, that very man, with that very body wherwith he was crucified?
A30208But do not the Scriptures make mention of a Christ within?
A30208But do you think this is certain?
A30208But doe y ● u speak seriously, and in good earnest?
A30208But he said, Why are ye troubled, and why doe thoughts arise in your hearts?
A30208But how are we justified by this Mans obedience?
A30208But how shall I know that I am born again?
A30208But how shall we know when he is come?
A30208But how( may some say) doth the Divell make his de ● usions take place in the he ● rts of poore creatures?
A30208But how?
A30208But if it be changed, then how can it be the same?
A30208But shall be not lose his body before he come again?
A30208But shall we be sure of it?
A30208But what Jesus?
A30208But what is this doctrine?
A30208But when?
A30208But where should we find him?
A30208But why was he true God and true man?
A30208But ye will say, who are those ignorant persons, that shall find no favour at that day?
A30208But you will say, Doth not the Scripture say that it is the spirit of Christ that doth make manifest or convince of sin?
A30208But you will say, What, will not the Lord have mercy on ignorant soules?
A30208But you will say, Who shall stand when he appears?
A30208But you will say, doth not the Scripture make mention of a Christ within?
A30208But you will say, might they not be deceived?
A30208But you will say, what lyes are those, that the Divell beguileth poor souls with all?
A30208Do you not see that the Scepter is departed from Judah?
A30208Do you not see that those things that are spoken of as forerunners of my comming, are accompli ● hed?
A30208Do you think your eyes dazle?
A30208Doe they say that that blood of his which was shed without the gates of Jerusalem doth not wash away sin, yea all sin from him that believes?
A30208Doe you not see the time that Daniel spake of is accompli ● ● ed also?
A30208Doth your heart faile you?
A30208Hath that Christ that was with God the father before the world was, no other body but his Church?
A30208How did this Christ bring in redemption for man?
A30208How doe men come by this righteousnesse and everlasting life?
A30208How therefore, is the knowledge of the true Christ to be attained unto, that we may be saved by him?
A30208How?
A30208I, but when didst thou see thy self a lost creature for want of faith in the son of Mary?
A30208If the children of God shall scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
A30208Is it by something that is done within them, or by something done without them?
A30208Is it not the least in thy thoughts?
A30208Is that very man, with that very body, within you, yea, or no?
A30208Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: Why, who art thou?
A30208Might not their eyes da ● le, and they might think they did see such a thing, when indeed there was no such matter?
A30208Nay, dost thou know what original sin means?
A30208Now seeing the comming of the Lord Jesus Christ is so nigh, even at the doors, what doth this speak to all sorts of people( under heaven) but this?
A30208Now that he ascended, what is it but that he descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
A30208Q. Doe you believe it?
A30208Then I ask you further, whither that body in which he did bear our sins,( which is also called his own body) was, or is the Church of God, yea, or no?
A30208Then I ask, why did the man Christ Jesus hang upon the Cross on mount Calvary without the gates of Jerusalem, for the sins of his people?
A30208Then again I ask you, what that was in which he did bear the sins of his children?
A30208Then said they all, Art thou the Sonne of God?
A30208Then what doth this speak to the Lords own people?
A30208Then what will become of all the prophane, ignorant, scoffers, self- righteous, proud, bastard- professors in the world?
A30208Then what will become of all those that creep into the society of God people without a wedding garment on?
A30208Then what will become of all those that mock at the second coming of the Man Christ, as do the Ranters, Quakere, Drunkards, and the like?
A30208Therefore judge nothing before the time; what time is that?
A30208Well, but is there no way to come to the father of mercies but by this man that was borne of the virgin?
A30208What Scripture can be plainer spoken then this?
A30208What Scripture have you to prove, that Christ is, or was crucified within you, dead within you, risen within you,& ascended within you?
A30208What doth he there?
A30208What is the Church of God redeemed by, from the curse of the law?
A30208What is this faith that doth thus justifie the sinner?
A30208What time is this th ● ● Jesus speaks of?
A30208What was that?
A30208Who hath told it from ancient times?
A30208Who is he?
A30208Why did he rise againe from the dead with that very body?
A30208Why do you doubt of it?
A30208Why where is he then?
A30208You will say, Are these graves spoken of here, the graves that are made in the earth?
A30208and dost thou not rejoyce in secret that thou art the same that thou ever wert?
A30208and in the light of the spirit of Christ see that thou wert under the wrath of God because of original sin?
A30208and when did the spirit of Christ convince thee of sin, because thou didst not believe in him?
A30208have not ● the Lord?
A30208if the very looks of God be so terrible, what will his blows be, think you?
A30208is there no way to come to God but by the faith of Him?
A30208or how doth the ignorance discover it selfe?
A30208or the Gospel, which is the word of faith preached by us?
A30208to judge the world?
A30208what, doe you thinke that I am a spirit?
A30208when didst thou see that?
A30208why, it will be said unto them, Friends, how came you hither?
A30208why, when the Lord comes; what will he do?
A8609917. and do you wonder if Papists and carnal impenitent People, do not, or can not understand mysteries?
A860992 3 4 5. Who may abide the day of his coming, and who shal stand when he appears?
A86099A throne( you know) admits but of one; finde a Government where one alone doth rule, and what can this be but Episcopacy?
A86099All the World wondred after the Beast and ver 4. Who is like unto the Beast?
A86099And dost not thou love and allow thy self in some sins?
A86099And doth not the storm beat violently at this day upon all the Kings of Christendome?
A86099And the Princes of Succoth said, are the hands of Zeba and Zalmunna now in thy hands, that we should give bread unto thy Army?
A86099And what great hopes had the Pope of the reconciliation of these Kingdoms to himself again?
A86099Are these Bugbears, windie Bladders?
A86099But Father, where''s my footstool?
A86099But do they carry it?
A86099But for your clearer light in this point, what if Saint Peter were never Bishop of Rome?
A86099But haply, some man will say to me, Is not the Pope Saint Peters successor?
A86099But how can this be?
A86099But how is the glory of the Popes Supremacy in Temporals everywhere darkened, and in many Kingdomes quite put out?
A86099But how shall all this be effected?
A86099But it may be some will ask me, what shall we think of the many and great Miracles that are amongst them?
A86099But shall they be Saints indeed?
A86099But their number will be but small, as hitherto it hath been?
A86099But to what end should I thus go on?
A86099But what might be the reason that Christ hath such an eminent and incensed quarrel at Kings?
A86099But what shall the sign of these things be?
A86099But why did not the Holy- Ghost speak expresly who it was?
A86099Did Christ make him an Apostle, and dare they degrade him, and make a fixed Bishop of him?
A86099Do you all know this?
A86099Do you marvel if at their Worlds end, they be at their Wits end?
A86099Go teach all Nations) and to be a Bishop also fixed to one place, is not this( diminutio capitis) to fetch him a hole lower then Christ had set him?
A86099He was Phineas the Son of Eleazer, the Priest; what had he to do with the civil sword of Justice?
A86099How came they to so much vilenes, as to make up the man of sin, the great Antichrist?
A86099How can a circumscribed body( as Christ hath) be personally, visibly in all and every of his kingdoms at once?
A86099How must men forfeit their Intellectuals to fasten all this anywhere but upon the popes?
A86099How then?
A86099Is here sufficient ground to conclude him Bishop of Antioch for seven years together?
A86099Is not the King of England our Vassal, nay to say more, our slave, whom we can imprison at pleasure, and condemn to everlasting ignominy?
A86099Is the Pope Antichrist, and Popery Antichristianism?
A86099Is the Pope Antichrist?
A86099Is there any likelihood in reason, that in the space of three of our years and a half, he should compass all that the Scripture speaks of him?
A86099Might he not have brought it in very patly here?
A86099Now Lord, if these be Saints, who are Scythians; if these be Catholiks, who are Canibals?
A86099Now what could, as to men and Law, be said for this mans act?
A86099Now who is he?
A86099Of courtesie tell me, can any man understand this of Ierusalem?
A86099One shall say unto him, what are these wounds in thine hands?
A86099PErdite Papa, precor, quo vades?
A86099Poor despicable miserable Soul, whither goest thou?
A86099T is strange, did Couragious Peter desert him?
A86099Tell me now in the singleness of your Spirits, have not Providences suted marvellous patly to the Text?
A86099Tell me now, that likelyhood in reason is there that all this should be effected in three years and a half?
A86099That furious Dragon, the Devil, speaks nothing but terror to Saints; hath the Pope a good word for any that do truly fear God?
A86099The seventh head of this fourth Beast, is the Great Antichrist; and why should he be thought a single person, rather then any of the other six?
A86099Therefore what an errant dissembler and Covenant- breaker do they make their first Bishop and head of their Church?
A86099They overcame him; how?
A86099Thou King of Saints, who shall not feare thee?
A86099Was not every Bishop in his Diocess a little Pope lording over both the flock& his co- presbyters?
A86099What mean the Wars of England; and the fall Of Kingly, Lordly, and Episcopal Power?
A86099What shall be written for the generations to come?
A86099What would have become of thee( poor soul) hadst thou lived in times wherein the Sea of Ordinances were no better then the blood of a dead man?
A86099Where is the glorious Kingdom of Christ at this time, shall it not be even broken and lost?
A86099Who is able to make war with the Beast?
A86099Who is wise, and he shall understand these things?
A86099Will any one who is Master of Common Reason, say that the Aricle o e in these places denotes an individual single Person?
A86099You will say, how can many and strong Nations come in to Jerusalem at any time?
A86099You''le say, was England but shaken off from Rome by this late Earthquake?
A86099and besides how litle is half a day perceived in such feasting and jocand solemnity?
A86099and do you ask a reason why Christ pours out wrath upon the Political fun of every Nation of Europe, why he makes the thrones of Kings to totter?
A86099and her people a joy; that I mean; but when shall this be?
A86099and if it can not be expected from the present Protestant Princes, can it in reason be hoped for, from the present Popish Princes?
A86099and then cry, Lord, let thy Kingdom come; Lord, how long yet; Lord, when shall it once be?
A86099are not these 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, utterly inconsistent?

A113781, 2. to give us every good gift?
A1137819. who can mourne that hath him who takes care for him?
A1137820. but why art thou so mercifull to let thy creature look upon that creature which will not looke upon thee, nor acknowledge thee?
A1137820. one to intercede for all his offences?
A113783. who can mourne that hath one to make peace for all his mutinies, his indispositions, his rebellions?
A113786. for my foundation will keepe mee sure; for, if foundations should be destroyed, what could the righteous do?
A113788. who can be sad, that hath his salvation, his reconciliation, his redemption, in the same roome with him?
A11378After he had washed their feet, and was set down, he said unto them, Know yee what I have done unto you?
A11378And JESUS saith unto them, Beleeve yee that I am able to do this?
A11378And he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
A11378And he said unto him, Man, who made me a Judge, or Divider over you?
A11378Beleeve yee?
A11378Beleeve yee?
A11378But he answered and said, Who is my mother?
A11378But he said unto them, Have yee not read what David did when he was an hungry?
A11378But hee said, Have yee not read what David did when hee was an hungry?
A11378Can adde?
A11378Can the Children of the Bride- chamber mourne so long as the Bridegroome is with them?
A11378Do men gather Grapes of Thorns?
A11378Even now the Winde blew from himselfe; Why are yee fearfull, oh yee of little faith?
A11378FOr, by the way,& c. and I discover they were quite by the way now; who should bee greatest?
A11378Hee answered and said unto them, Why doe you also transgresse the commandement of God?
A11378Hee commeth unto the Disciples, and findeth them asleepe, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
A11378How wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye, and behold, a beame is in thine owne?
A11378I Discover here the inabilitie and weaknesse of man: this question Christ askes, Which of you?
A11378I Discover that Jesus desires to heare from his Disciples the censures and opinions of others; he asked them, Whom say the people?
A11378I Discover, how Christ vies question for question, and rebuke for rebuke; Why doe thy Disciples transgresse, say the Pharisees?
A11378I Discover, how soon a carnall hope would give over, how soon it despaires, Thy Daughter is dead, and why troublest thou any further?
A11378I give these, O Lord, for, freely I have received, and freely I give; and, What have I that I have not received?
A11378JESUS saith unto them, Beleeve yee?
A11378Know ye what I have done?
A11378Lord, I am not able to trace thee through all thy forms, through every thing thou hast beene for me, and should not I be a Bottle for thy sake?
A11378Nation against Nation and Kingdome against Kingdome?
A11378O My God, wilt thou accept of no Crownes here below?
A11378O thou that art the God of peace, from whence is this Nation against Nation and Kingdome against Kingdome?
A11378Peace was sung at thy Nativity, on earth peace; and peace was thy onely blessing, peace be unto you; from whence then, O my God, is this war?
A11378Such, O Lord, are the troubles and distractions of State: who ever held a Scepter and complain''d not of the weaknesse?
A11378This When, is the time he sat downe in, he reposed in; and where should he sit but out of sight of the multitude, when hee went up from them?
A11378Thy Daughter is dead, Why troublest thou the Master any further?
A11378Which of you by taking thought can adde one cubit vnto his stature?
A11378Who can hold his fingers from his Timbrell or Cymball, when his Saviour is beside him?
A11378Why are yee fearfull oh yee of little faith?
A11378Why doe thy Disciples transgresse the tradition of the Elders?
A11378Why troublest thou any further?
A11378and cried not out with the Shunamite, my head my head?
A11378and he said, Why doe you transgresse?
A11378and thus with a question hee declines from himselfe a thing in question, Who made me a Judge, or a Divider over you?
A11378and who are my brethren?
A11378and who are my brethren?
A11378and who are my brethren?
A11378are not our Kingdomes within the liberties of this Kingdome here?
A11378are not our Nations within the territories of this Nation?
A11378come they not hence, even of your lusts?
A11378for finding an offence of infirmity, he chides and excuses it at once; Could yee not watch with mee?
A11378for thou art such a keeper of Israel as neither slumbers nor sleepes; Could yee not watch with mee?
A11378for, to which of you, if hee aske a fish, will hee give a Scorpion?
A11378from whence come these warres and fightings?
A11378hee declines his duty and respect, and all relations must bee question''d of their title and interest; Who is my mother?
A11378hee would as it were catechize their ignorance into some knowledge, and warily convey them a resolution in a question, Know ye what I have done?
A11378how like a reed it would shake at every winde and aire of trouble or commotion?
A11378how thy Son declines secular judicature and imployment; Man, who made me a Judge?
A11378no Scepters?
A11378of your selves, of your owne power, or ability, either by taking more to what you have, or by taking thought, or taking paines?
A11378or Figges of Thistles?
A11378or Whom say the people?
A11378or, if hee aske bread, will he give a stone?
A11378puts all out of question; even none of you: You Princes of the earth, which of you?
A11378the evulsion or abscission of either?
A11378was this thy exinanition?
A11378who can beare it, and not lie downe under the burden?
A11378who can mourne that hath him in presence, who will supply all his necessities?
A11378who can mourne that hath him to provide a place for him in his glory?
A11378who ever wore an Empire or Kingdome about his temples, and complain''d not of the scratching, and tearing, and rending, and bleeding?
A11378who was ever knit unto this foundation and fell?
A11378why should I feare to bee thus my owne holy executioner?
A11378you Pharisees and Doctors, which of you?
A1987314. that It is but in vaine to serue God, what gaine is in his seruice?
A1987317, 7. when they asked if God were with them, or no?
A1987319, 15. but answered, I know them, but who are ye?
A1987322, 7. that he might say to euery one what he list; Speakest thou to me?
A1987328, 18. he came but in the guise of a Prophet: so that in stead of saying, Is Saul among the Prophets?
A1987329. what can hurt vs?
A198737. vpon their going out to see Iohn Baptist; what went yee out to see?
A19873Admit hee had bread, were he then safe?
A19873Are we stronger than he?
A19873As if he should( exulting) say, What is it that shall separate me from the loue of men?
A19873BVt wee will peraduenture say, the deuill neuer made vs any such offer; and therefore what needs any dmonishment in this behalfe?
A19873But as Augustine saith; Is it not all one not to be able to answer, nor to be able to hold their peace?
A19873But as it is, what is to be thought of it?
A19873But what did the deuill than tell him?
A19873But what do we speake of the adopted sonnes of God, when as his owne naturall Sonne suffered as much, nay, farre more?
A19873But why would he not here vse his power, for the satisfying of his hunger, and follow the deuils aduice?
A19873By this we come to say: Who is the Almighty, that we should serue him?
A19873Can this( say they) be the holy Citie?
A19873Chapter of his Epistle to the Romanes the 35. verse, What shall separate vs from the loue of Christ?
A19873Christ answereth: What is written in the Law?
A19873Christ hath here offered him all kingdomes, a very enticing bayt: but is there neuer a hooke hidden vnder it?
A19873Christ sighed: and why did he sigh?
A19873Death, where is thy sting?
A19873Do you feare?
A19873First, against some phantasticall spirits, who say; Can that bee an holy Citie, where there be dumbe dogges?
A19873Hast thou marked my seruant Iob, how upright he is, and that in all the world there is not such an one?
A19873Hast thou marked my servant Iob, who keepeth still his integritie?
A19873Hath God sent downe the holy Ghost vpon him in likenesse of a Doue?
A19873Hath a voyce come downe from Heauen saying, This is my beloued Sonne?
A19873Hath he beene baptized of water and the holy Ghost?
A19873He found others standing idle in the market place, and he said to them, why stand ye idle all day?
A19873He made a couenant with his eyes: why then should he thinke on a maid?
A19873He shall not neede to come to vs with kingdomes, one kingdome is too much, what say ye to halfe a one?
A19873Hell, where is thy victory?
A19873How carefull therefore had we need to be, to finde out a fit answer for him?
A19873How shall they call on God on whom they haue not beleeued?
A19873How then?
A19873If he haue sought our ouerthrow in Christ, how much more will he doe it in our selues?
A19873Indeed you heard a voyce say, you were the beloued Sonne of God, but are you so indeed?
A19873Indeede might the deuill say, this Mountaine is very open; but how say ye?
A19873Is God mercifull?
A19873Is he bountifull and long suffering?
A19873Is there a pretie commodity to be h ● d?
A19873Is there no Physitian there?
A19873Is there no balme at Gilead?
A19873Isaac was Iacobs father, but was Iacob more bold to abuse him for that?
A19873No, will the diuell say, I will giue ye halfe of one?
A19873Or else, what and if we can ouer- reach our brother in subtilty, and goe beyond him with a tricke of wit or cunning?
A19873Paul saith, Do we prouoke the Lord to anger?
A19873Seeing this, who will not be as bold as they, the place being so holy?
A19873Shal Christ take it, or no?
A19873Shall temptation?
A19873Shall we pay tribute to Caesar?
A19873So if it be asked, Are there no horses nor chariots in Gilead?
A19873So that, wiil ye know if a man do b ● leeue?
A19873So when Pilate asked, who accused Christ?
A19873The Papists aske, where we finde Onely in siustification by faith?
A19873The eyes of all things waite on God for their meat in due season, and thou fillest them: With what?
A19873There is no doubt, but Christ was able to haue turned stones into bread: but why would hee not then follow the deuils aduice?
A19873This is that that makes the deuill so good a husband and thriftie, and to go neere hand: what neede he giue more, when so little will serue?
A19873This was it that did so animate Iob, Doe thou but take my part, and who shall touch me?
A19873To the young man( in the tenth Chapter of S Lukes Gospell, and 26. verse) that asked Christ what he should do to be saued?
A19873Tuum, what say we to that?
A19873We our selues would not be so vsed, we could not endure to see our friends vsed so: how much lesse ought wee to vse God in that manner?
A19873Well, what followes of that?
A19873What Father( saith Christ) if his Sonne aske him bread, would give him a stone?
A19873What a goodly grace he hath in the first Temptation?
A19873What rest?
A19873What say ye now?
A19873What then?
A19873What''s a basket full of heads to a Kingdome?
A19873What?
A19873Where the leaders bee blinde?
A19873Who would not tread hard there?
A19873Why did he not answer the deuill so?
A19873Why doth not the deuill cast him downe?
A19873Will ye do none of these?
A19873Will ye serue me?
A19873Yea,( saith the deuill:) Hath God annoynted him with the oyle of gladnesse aboue his fellowes?
A19873You say you haue feare, can you shew me your feare?
A19873You see you are almost starued for want of bread: well, would God haue suffered you so to be, if you had beene his Filius dilectus?
A19873did hee bring comfort with him?
A19873especially, that attribute, quality, or property of God, which of all others, he would haue to be most magnified, that is, his mercy?
A19873honoureth his father, and the servant his Lord: if I be your father, where is your reuerence?
A19873how readest thou?
A19873it might haue beene said; What, is the deuil among the Prophets?
A19873or persecution?
A19873or was it not rather a delusion?
A19873seest thou not that I haue power to crucifie thee, or to let thee go?
A19873shall anguish of minde, and bloody sweat?
A19873shall anguish?
A19873shall hunger?

A19873who will not then be bold to do the like?
A19873will ye be content closly in a corner to worship me?

A664368.?
A66436All that he has to say to this, is, Will he deny positively and directly, that the Lord Christ is a God by Representation and Office?
A66436All the question is, who is the Lord that thus saith of himself, I am Alpha and Omega,& c?
A66436And besides, do n''t those Socinians that worship our Saviour, affirm that they worship him as God?
A66436And can any Divine Appointment make that not to be Idolatry, which in its nature is so?
A66436And do n''t they then equal him to God, when they pray to him?
A66436And he adds, May we not have such a Notion of an infinite Attribute?
A66436And how doth that differ from the modelling and changing all things in Heaven and Earth, to a new and better estate?
A66436And if any one should ask what is the difference?
A66436And is not that Idolatry, to give to a Creature the Worship belonging to the Creator?
A66436And then he smartly returns upon him, How, Sir, is that a good Consequence, or any Consequence at all?
A66436And then how comes he before to acknowledge the Truth of that saying of his Lordship''s, that we can not comprehend the least Spire of Grass?
A66436And to close the Objection, Do you not then give the like, nay the same Honour to Christ as to God?
A66436And what a presumption would it be in a Creature that had a beginning, to say of himself, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last?
A66436And what advantage could they have from him that was to come into the world for the Redemption of Mankind 4000, 3000,& c. years after?
A66436And what is it to worship him as God, but to give him Divine Worship?
A66436And when the Son is called God in Scripture, what is the difference between God the Son, and the Son that is God?
A66436And where doth the Absurdity lie?
A66436As if I would ask, What is an infinite Attribute?
A66436But I do not see how it follows, that if he is from himself, he must be before he was?
A66436But after all, is this a Misrepresentation?
A66436But his Grace saith, This Gospel was wrote against Cerinthus; and then, saith our Author, how came the Cerinthians to use it?
A66436But his Grace will say perhaps, Why?
A66436But how came that word Existence in?
A66436But how can the Being of a Creature be commensurate to all the several respects of Duration, past, present, and to come?
A66436But is no such person ever mentioned in Scripture, as God the Son?
A66436But is not Prayer a part of Divine Worship, and peculiar to God?
A66436But is not this to equal him with God, to whom alone we are taught to direct our Prayers?
A66436But may he urge, Do n''t you acknowledge the Son of God to be God?
A66436But what a v ● st solitude was there, a Chasm of 4000 years before his Birth and Being?
A66436But what do they understand by the Word, when the Word is said to be made Flesh?
A66436But what doth our Author mean?
A66436But what if those Proofs run no higher than Arianism?
A66436But what then will become of the other Evangelists?
A66436But where are those Texts that expresly say, that our Saviour ascended into Heaven before his Ministry?
A66436But where is the Contradiction?
A66436But why Some?
A66436But will he say, Is not this all one, when he that suffer''d and died, is, in our opinion, God as well as Man?
A66436Did never any Vnitarians or Socinians give Honour and Worship, a like and even the same to Christ as to the Father?
A66436Do we understand Infinity, a Spirit, or Eternity, the better for all this?
A66436Do you not pray to Christ?
A66436Doth the Archbishop reason from the Context?
A66436For Duration is a continuance of Time; but what Duration was there in Eternity, before there was any Time, or God began to operate and make the World?
A66436For if the Books that are the Text of it are so mangled, what certainty is there left about any part of it?
A66436For what Heresy is there in simple Poverty?
A66436For what Succession was there before the Creation of the World?
A66436For what doth he say, but what they have said before him?
A66436For what else is the effect of his Doctrine of Succession in God, and passing from one Duration to another?
A66436For would you know who those are that he proclaims War against?
A66436For, Might not the Jews then reply, So Abraham was before Adam, and so both Abraham and Adam were before the World?
A66436For, is there any word leaning this way?
A66436For, saith he, What makes him[ the Bishop] say, God must be from himself, or self- originated?
A66436Had he no way to defend his New Mysteries, but by espousing the Cause of the Atheists?
A66436Have there been no Christians in the World for 1500 Years, but only the Arians and Trinitarians?
A66436He demands, saith he, when did this Ascension of our Saviour into Heaven happen?
A66436How doth he argue against it from the Weakness of the Socinian attempts to prove it, and for which in effect they have nothing to say?
A66436How from the inconsistency of it with Scripture?
A66436How is the Scene changed upon this?
A66436How then can he say that his Grace can raise- the expressions no higher than Arianism?
A66436Is that Charge a Device of the Trinitarians?
A66436Let us suppose this, what is it then they deny?
A66436Must they be excluded out of the number of the Canonical?
A66436Now supposing it so to be, Why must it thus be supplied?
A66436Now the question will be, Whether St. John hath used them by chance, as our Author imagines?
A66436Now this is more than his Adversary charges them with: But what do they mean?
A66436Or was Socinus the first( for that( it may be) was his Grace''s meaning) who departed from the Arian and Trinitarian Sense of the Context?
A66436Or why may it not be said, Before Abraham was, I was in being?
A66436Or will it prove that the Gospel is a Valentinian, a Cerinthian, or Gnostick Gospel?
A66436Supposing it to be so*, what will follow?
A66436That is, Was''t thou coexistent with him, and born in his time, who has been so long dead?
A66436The first is,''That if God was for ever, he must be from himself; and what Notion can we have in our minds concerning it?
A66436This, I am sure is nothing to the purpose; for what is this to the Pre existence of our Saviour, the present subject of the Discourse?
A66436To this they captiously object, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
A66436To what purpose is this?
A66436What Eternity?
A66436What Service could he challenge from them, when he himself lay in the Embrio of nothing?
A66436What if Ebion at last is found to be a Person?
A66436What is a Spirit?
A66436What is it then his Grace alledges this Text for?
A66436What is the Word but the Son of God, and when the Word and the Son are the same, what is the difference between God the Word, and God the Son?
A66436What is this brought to prove?
A66436What more plain, if his Argument be true, than that there can be no personal Union between the Soul and Body, such distant extremes?
A66436Where is it expresly said in that, or any other Text, that our Saviour ascended into Heaven before his Ministry?
A66436Where the Angels and Heavenly Powers that were put under his direction, and by him employed in defence and succor of the faithful?
A66436Where was the Paganism and Idolatry he in that dismal Interval abolished?
A66436Who are the Ancient Unitarians, that our Author at all times speaks so venerably of, and that thus rejected the Books usually ascribed to St. John?
A66436Whom makest thou thy self?
A66436Why so?
A66436Will it prove Cerinthus to be the Author of that Gospel?
A66436Would this prove what was to be proved, That he that was not fifty years old, had seen Abraham, or that he was Co- existent with Abraham?
A66436and in what a condition was the whole World of Intelligent Beings, till our Saviours Resurrection and Ascension?
A66436and yet knew not the time or day of Judgment?
A66436p. 57. which he more largely prosecutes, p. 64,& c. What saith our Author to this?
A23813( for Neutralls in this fight no men living can be) Whether we ought to side with the Mind or the Members?
A238131. Who this Heir was?
A23813Again, Is it so, that an Association and a Combination in wickednesse strengthens the hands, and impowereth malice?
A23813And have not we here a lesson well worth the learning?
A23813And indeed thus Pilate understood him, for in the verse immediately following, Pilate replieth, Art thou a King?
A23813And indeed which of us is there that hath not a Caiaphas in his bosome?
A23813And indeed, for a thriving Vineyard, or for an happy people, what had he not provided?
A23813And shall we leave him in their hands?
A23813And thus you have the coherence and the reason why Pilate said unto them, shall I Crucifie your King?
A23813And what the Law of the Members?
A23813And will not this satisfie and content you?
A23813Are we accused for Popish perverters of Religion, and as a Roman party?
A23813Aske you what to do?
A23813But what speak I of Job?
A23813Did ever Embassador for the glory of his Master, report in forain parts how his Subjects had sold, vilifyed, banish''d and imprisoned their Soveraign?
A23813Did ever any Subject, who desired to make his King glorious, and his Kingdome eminent, publish the infirmities and preach the shame of his Soveraign?
A23813Doth not this Passion solicite the Mind, to contrive the means, and to lay the plot how this cruelty may be satisfyed?
A23813First, besides all that hath been already said, these very words in my Text argue Pilates disavowing of it, Shall I Crucifie your King?
A23813For when Pilate said, Shall I Crucifie your King?
A23813For, How shall it be found possible to compound this difference?
A23813From whence are Wars and Contentions amongst you?
A23813His Birth- right, that we have in these words, Where is he that is borne King of the Jews?
A23813Honour, Freedome, Estate, Friends, Life, these are the darlings that we dote upon; and in which of these can we so deeply suffer in, as our King did?
A23813How an united Malice produceth strange Villanies?
A23813How in this War can we possibly be able to say or determine on which side we ought to be?
A23813How many are there Protest, Covenant, Engage, and tenter their Conscience, under pretence of this, and under colour of that?
A23813How many are there who have acted that, which seven or eight yeares agoe, they would have abhorred to have thought upon?
A23813How many are there who lay their hand upon the Sword, under Colours of Holinesse and Religion?
A23813How many are there who plead at the Bar of Injustice, under pretence of Law?
A23813I know there are some in the world, who are ready to say, what is a King but a man?
A23813If the King were left comfortlesse, and trod the Wine- presse alone, what sorrow can befall us which is not of meaner consequence?
A23813If the King, the Royall Heire, be cast ou ● of his Inheritance, out of Kingdome ● Why should Subjects repine and fre ● at meaner losses?
A23813If then the King be bound in chaines, why should the Nobles murmur at linkes of Iron?
A23813If we let him alone, the people will leave us; if we let him alone, he will recover his king ● ome; if we let him alone, what will bec ● me of us?
A23813In mine adversity, saith he, they rejoyced, they, who?
A23813In this Nation of ours, how many Hazaels are there?
A23813Is it a light thing to be Sonne in Law to a King?
A23813Is it not rather the custome of the world to magnifie his power, amplifie his greatnesse, and extoll him at least for an high and mighty Potentate?
A23813Is not the Mind a restlesse wretch?
A23813Is she not perpetually vext and molested, unlesse she passe what Bill soever this Tyrant in that behalf shall present unto her?
A23813Is the soul of any of us enflamed with Malice, and the thirst of Revenge?
A23813Is there a Mordecai whom we stomach, and will have removed from the Kings gate?
A23813It followeth, the Abjects, the very scumme of the people, gathered themselves together against me; and would you know how they used him?
A23813It would then by us be seriously and timeously considered, whether those sins will be allowed as sins of Ignorance, which we act against Knowledge?
A23813Like that rich Churle Nabal, they are ready to say, who is David?
A23813No wonder to hear Pilate say, Shall I Crucifie your King?
A23813Now I beseech you, which of us should not with al ● patience heare, and bear the calumny of the people?
A23813Now if Magnanimity in a Heathen did this, what should charity in a Christian, especially being animated with such Royall Presidents as we are?
A23813Or a proceeding to higher mischieves?
A23813Or, suppose Covetousnesse and desire of gain to be predominant, can the Mind be quiet?
A23813Ours?
A23813Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucifie your King?
A23813Send him to the Gibbet?
A23813Shall God and the King be charitable, and shall not we?
A23813Shall I deal with your King as with a Rogue?
A23813Shall I do this?
A23813Shall I passe Sentence of Death upon a King?
A23813Shall now Rebellion be thus active?
A23813Shall they be Mercifull, and we Tyrants one to another?
A23813Shall they forgive, and we persecute?
A23813Should we be mocked as fools, spit upon as Jews ▪ whipt as rogues, boxt as boyes, and all this injuriously too?
A23813The Poet could long since say, — Quae Reverentia legum, Quis metus, aut pudor est unquam properantis avari?
A23813Warre?
A23813Warre?
A23813What after Sentence?
A23813What had not he condescended to?
A23813What he was Heir to?
A23813What is the Law of the Mind?
A23813What mischief will they decline?
A23813What then must the Mind do?
A23813What was done before they brought him to the Court of Justice?
A23813What was done there?
A23813When Gideon asked Zeba and Zalmunna, What manner of men they were whom they slew at Tabor?
A23813Whether it be not damnable Rebellion to disobey or resist that part which God hath invested with this Power?
A23813Whether the Minde or Members ought to have the prehemimence and the superior power?
A23813Whether the law of the supremest or of the lowest portion of the soul ought to sway the whole man?
A23813Whether then of the grand Contenders in the Text?
A23813Whether to Mind or Members God hath given power of Law?
A23813Whether to Mind or Members God hath given power of Law?
A23813Which of us is there that doth not rather consider the expediency then the justice of an Action?
A23813Why not Joy as much as Love?
A23813Why not Love as much as any?
A23813Why should not Wrath have as much command as Joy?
A23813Will this passion be satisfied with either Reason, or Conscience, or any manner of Moderation?
A23813Yea, how can he be expected to live upon the earth at all, whose last coming is described to be not on the earth, but in an higher Element?
A23813Yea, is not the Court full of terror and disturbances?
A23813Yea, what power can be desired in a Commission, which she hath not?
A23813and rippe up the women with childe, Hazael was so amazed with this, that he cryeth out, — Is thy Servant a Dogge that hee should doe this?
A23813and shall Religion bee dull and sluggish?
A23813are they not hence, even of your lusts that fight in your Members?
A23813because we have yet too many that suffer their Eves to lead them?

A23813or those sins of Infirmity which we act meerly to save a peny, or to satsfie a Lust?
A23813saith Pilate, and do you think we would?
A23813sayes of the Action, the same may I say of the Passion of a King, what can the man suffer, that ● uffers after the King?
A23813what but ambition to the throne made him to seek his life?
A23813what should not we doe to restore the Heire unto his owne, and to recount unto Christ all glory possible?
A23813what then would an Association in godlinesse and good things doe?
A23813which of us do not consider whether what we do be not rather secure, then conscionable?
A23813who obey?
A23813whose?
A23813yea, whether a man is not bound in conscience to war against the lower and inferiour of them?
A28523* Therefore, if it be asked, what kind of Matter it was, whereinto Gods Word and Heart hath given in it selfe, and made it selfe a Body?
A285232. c He asked them, and said, Whom say ye then that I am?
A285232. could not God then thus introduce Man into Heaven with the New Birth?
A285235. Who is here that can unshut this?
A28523Also, is not the Kingdom of Heaven within us?
A28523And are not the Father the Word and Spirit which bear record in Heaven One?
A28523And do not the Spirit the Water and the Bloud which bear record on the Earth agree in One?
A28523And doth it not consist in Peace Righteousness, and Joy in the Holy Ghost?
A28523And had it not been so, though the Angels world and ours had never been created?
A28523And if we walk in the Light as he is in the Light, doth not the Bloud of Jesus Christ clense us from All Sinnes?
A28523And is not his Flesh meat indeed and his Bloud drink indeed?
A28523And since God worketh in us both to wil and to do, why refuse we to will and to do?
A28523And were not all the Things without them and within them, in Being, though they had not been spoken of in the Scriptures?
A28523And were not the Divine holy Spiritual, and all other Natural things in Being, without the Created inward and outward world as well as in them?
A28523Art thou a ● Champion; why dost thou not strive or fight against the Evil?
A28523Art thou an Enemy?
A28523Art thou the Maker of thy own selfe?
A28523As First, concerning the Creation; what Essence, substance, and property, Man is, whether he be Eternal or not Eternal?
A28523Bring forth the New Jerusalem; It is Day: why should we sleep in the Day?
A28523But I would have the Scorner, and total Earthly Man, asked; whether the Heaven be blinde, as also Hell, and God himself?
A28523But can a Man make of himselfe what he will?
A28523But now Reason asketh: How is then the similitude?
A28523But that Crown hideth it selfe again; for in that place, God becometh Man: How then can there be but Great Joy?
A28523But the fierce wrathful Essence was too strong, so that it overcame the love Essence; what can God doe to that?
A28523But what doth this Evil world now?
A28523But who shall express his Glory, which will be his wages?
A28523Can he there see the wicked Malice before hand: why seeth he not also his wages and recompence beforehand?
A28523Doest thou ask; Why?
A28523Dost thou know this thou Earthly Man?
A28523Doth not Faith come by inward Hearing, and that Hearing by the same word of God?
A28523For, † where our willing and Heart is, there is also our Treasure: Is our willing in Gods willing?
A28523Hath not God shed abroad his Love in our Hearts?
A28523He himself hath not the Mystery, and how then will he give or* dispence it to others?
A28523Here indeed sticketh the Matter, deare defiled piece of Wood, smell into thy bolome, what is it thou stinkest of?
A28523How many Thousand Endless Mysteries, are Treasured up in the hidden wisdom of God in Christ, and in him in us?
A28523How sweet is the water of the Eternal Life our of Gods Majesty?
A28523How then would he have suffered Death; have entred into Death, and destroyed it?
A28523How very amiable and blessed is but the glimps of the divine substantiality?
A28523If then God hath by the Dying of his Sonne, redeemed us, and paid a ransom for us, wherefore then must we also dye and perish or be consumed?
A28523If we say we have no sin, we deceive our Selves; May they be taken as meant speaking of others, and not himself included?
A28523Is it not that* Closed or shut book of him that sitteth upon the Throne or seat in the Revelation of Jesus Christ?
A28523Is not God Omnipotent enough to do what he will?
A28523Is not God himself Light?
A28523It continually saith: where is thy God?
A28523Now behold further: what would remain of the Fire if I should take away the Light and Lustre from the Fire?
A28523Now saith Reason: Had the Devil so great Might?
A28523Now saith Reason: How is it come to pass in this becoming Man or Incarnation?
A28523Now saith Reason; whence hath this its originall?
A28523Now, what can the Light do, if the fire lay hold of somewhat and devoureth it?
A28523Now, when Adam and Eve stood thus in terrour, before the Anger of God,* God, cattel Adam, and said; Adam where art thou?
A28523O thou Noble, Man; if thou knewest thy selfe, who thou art, how woulst thou rejoyce?
A28523OUtward Reason saith: How may a Man in this world see into God, viz: into another world; and say what God is?
A28523Or if he would needs redeem us in such a way; wherefore seeing Christ hath redeemed us, must we, then, also dye?
A28523Or what should it desire other then what it was in its own substance?
A28523Or whether there be also any seeing in the divine World?
A28523Or, what pleasure hath God in thy knowing, when as thou stil continuest wicked?
A28523Outward Reason saith, how may that come to pass?
A28523Seeing then it hath a Life, and the Power and understanding of the Light, why doth it then run into the Fire?
A28523Shall I go out of the Light into Darkness?
A28523Shall we then sinne?
A28523Should now the Holy spirit be blind, when he dwelleth in Man?
A28523Should we then in Christ, be blind, as to God?
A28523Sparrow, John, 1615- 1665?
A28523The Devil knoweth it also well, what doth that avail him?
A28523The Light and Power drew not the Devil into the Fire, but the fierce wrath of Nature; Why did the Spirit assent to be willing?
A28523WHen Christ asked his Disciples,* Whom do the people say that the Sonne of man is?
A28523We generate not as to this World; how will we then see the fruit with the Eyes of this world?
A28523Were we not, in the beginning, made out of Gods Substantiality?
A28523What is it now that is strange to or in us, that we can not see God?
A28523What is it then: or who speaketh out of the Blasphemous Mouth?
A28523What need we flatter our selves; are we righteous?
A28523What pleasure hath God in Death and dying?
A28523What pleasure hath God in Death?
A28523Where are thou, Adam?
A28523Whether God made man out of Earth?
A28523Why did God suffer the Tree to grow, by which Adam was Tempted?
A28523Why do we not eat and drink thereof?
A28523Why do you Teach, when you* are not sent from God?
A28523Why dost thou make thy selfe Evil?
A28523Why dost thou not say to the Light: why Sufferest thou the Fire to be?
A28523Why doth God let it go so, that here is nothing but vain toylsome weariness, as also vexation and oppression, one plaguing and afflicting another?
A28523and then must not all needs be in us?
A28523but by the Holy Spirit?
A28523but if thou strivest or fightest against the Good, thou are an Enemy of God: dost thou suppose that God will set an Angels Crown upon the Devil?
A28523dost thou not see thou are no more in Heaven?
A28523dost thou suppose he will accept thy Hypocrisie?
A28523give me a strong Faith in the Merits of thy Sonne Christ: that he hath satisfied for my sinnes: supposest thou, that, that is enough?
A28523had he not that when he said so, that he might justly exclude himself from having any sinne?
A28523or when shall it come to pass, that I may see the Countenance of God?
A28523or who shall speak of the Crown or Garland of Victory which he attaineth?
A28523or write I this, for my own Boasting?
A28523should we not through Patience possess our Souls?
A28523that be farre off: How shall I will to enter againe into that to which I have dyed?
A28523that he hath not onely suffered his Sonne to dye on the Cross, but that we all must Dye also?
A28523that our Salvation may become generated?
A28523that we might be born again out of the Virgin, out of which Christ was born?
A28523were not the Pure in Heart Blessed?
A28523were not, the Word, God; though John the Apostle had not said so?
A28523what then shall we think was become of his Earthly Old Adam of his outward Flesh and Bloud, wherein he was Mortal?
A28523where is my † Noble Pearl?
A28523where is the virgins- Child; I see it not yet; how is it with me, that I am so anxious about that which yet I can not see?
A28523whether also, the Spirit of God seeth, both in the Love- light- world, as also in the fierce wrath in the Anger- world in the Center?
A28523whether it be strange Matter come from Heaven?
A28523why should we not also stand therein?
A28523will not Heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that desire it?
A28523† And he said; Who hath told thee that thou art Naked?
A28523† What say we then?
A04166* Now, his answer to this first interrogatory, being so full and plaine; they frame a second, What then?
A0416613, 14. where he saith, That when Iesus came to be baptized of him, Iohn replyed, I haue need to be baptized of thee, and commest thou to me?
A041665?
A041669?
A04166A Prophet?
A04166All that are in any sort, or howsoeuer called?
A04166And after they had beene baptized, the Souldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall wee doe?
A04166And it is probable, that Iohns Question, Art thou hee that should come,& c?
A04166And it is this; Whether there be not a Meane betweene the opposite or controuerted opinions?
A04166And not satisfied with this answer, they presse him with a third, Art thou the Prophet?
A04166And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo these eighteene yeeres, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?
A04166And therefore when the Priests and Leuites prest him further, saying, Who art thou, that wee may giue an answere to them that sent vs?
A04166And was it possible, that hee should be the desire of all Nations, whom no Nation did desire?
A04166And what reason had Iohn to deny he was Elias, when he was asked this Question, seeing our Sauiour, after his denyall, hath twice affirmed it?
A04166And why so great or reall a wonder?
A04166Are they Ministers of Christ?
A04166Art thou Elias?
A04166Behold, I will doe a new thing: now it shall spring forth, shall yee not know it?
A04166Besides those things which are without, that which commeth vpon mee dayly, the care of all the Churches; who is weake, and I am not weake?
A04166But did our Sauiour giue any document of this his power at the vttering of this Sermon?
A04166But others happely will say, What auayleth it to propose these good rules vnto vs, vnlesse it bee in our power to practise them?
A04166But though his comming were to bee sudden, was it therefore to haue no certaine prognosticke?
A04166But what King of Iudah or Israel did euer Ieuy an Army, without ingrateful exactions from his people?
A04166But what date doth the penning and writing of it beare?
A04166But what shall we say of the waters bursting forth in the Wildernesse, so often mentioned by the Prophet Isaias?
A04166But when you haue conquered them, and as many more as you intend to conquer, what doe you last resolue vpon?
A04166But will he therefore subscribe vnto them, or rest vpon their interpretation?
A04166Did they collect this onely as men, or doth not the Scripture eyther say or suppose the same as a ground of truth?
A04166Did you neuer reade in the Scriptures, the stone which the builders reiected, the same is become the head of the corner?
A04166For after the deliuery of his message, and his reioynder to her modest reply, How shall this be, seeing I know not man?
A04166For how should they expect him, how should they beleeue in him, of whom they had not heard?
A04166How can you beleeue,( saith our Sauiour) which receiue honour one of another, and seeke not the honour that commeth from God onely?
A04166How was it Christ?
A04166Iesus said vnto them, Can the Children of the Bridegroome fast, whilest the Bridegroome is with them?
A04166Is any man as carefull for the things of this life as these Iewes were?
A04166Is not his Mother called Mary?
A04166Is not this the Carpenters sonne?
A04166Is there any amongst vs as couetous, as the Pharises were, mentioned Luke 16?

A04166Now if Iohn knew him by face from all other men, before the Spirit did descend and rest vpon him, what needed this signe?
A04166Or, as Saint Matthew relateth it, Whence hath this man this wisdome, and these mighty workes?
A04166Others there be, but not so many to my remembrance, as to make a few, which would deriue the former question, Art thou he that should come,& c?
A04166The especiall sinnes which the Israelites had committed in the Wildernesse, were their tempting of God, saying, Is the Lord amongst vs or no?
A04166The meaning or purport of Iohns Question,[ Art thou He that should come, or doe we looke for another?
A04166The people hearing their Teachers or Masters thus sharpely checked by Iohn, asked him, saying, What shall wee do then?
A04166They answered, and said vnto him, Art thou also of Galile?
A04166This is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priests and Leuites from Ierusalem to aske him, Who art thou?
A04166Were these predictions as meerely figuratiue as the former, and not at all fulfilled according to the literal, plaine, historicall sense?
A04166What could the deafe more desire than to be able to heare, or the Lepers than to be cleansed from their leprosie?
A04166What if others, of men more rauenous then Wolues, haue become as moderate in their desires, and as harmlesse in their actions as the silly Lambe?
A04166What is the reason?
A04166What more admirable or wonderfull, than for poore men and beggers to be made Kings?
A04166What sayest thou of thy selfe?
A04166What so great a bodily blessing, if any at all besides could be bestowed vpon the dead, as to be restored to life againe?
A04166What then doe the words according to the Prophets naturall meaning and intention import?
A04166What then is that better exposition of this place, whereunto he and most of his fellowes subscribe?
A04166What then?
A04166What was it then that did finally offend them?
A04166What was then the reason of this difference?
A04166Whence he concludeth; Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which haue receiued the holy Ghost, aswell as we?
A04166Whence then hath this man all these things?
A04166Where was it written that the Angell should take charge of him, lest he should dash his foot against a stone?
A04166Wherefore doe yee spend money for that which is not bread?
A04166Wherefore if the question were, Which is the best or ancientest Corporation in this Kingdome?
A04166Which of them did euer inrich himselfe or the State by forreine spoyles, without impouerishing many of his natiue subiects?

A65849& c.] Or, be any comfort ● ble Doctrine to any that truly desire perfect freedom from sin, and not to live any longer therein?
A65849All ye Baptists answer me, what Scripture had he for that?
A65849And Christ at God''s right hand, that he thus would exclude, limit, and seem to confine them out of all men?
A65849And I ask, Is that Word the Scriptures, or Letter, which thou sayest Christians are nursed with the sincere Milk of?
A65849And as Christ said, What and if ye see the Son of Man ascend up where he was before?
A65849And did not the holy Men of God call him the Word?
A65849And did they blind the Truth, or make a Monster of Christ, supposest thou?
A65849And for what end were they brought into the world, if a capacity of Salvation was not afforded them?
A65849And hath he not it only dwelling in the Light?
A65849And have any it out of him, or out of his Light?
A65849And how did he appear unto Paul?
A65849And how plainly contradicted in confessing the Son of God was from the beginning, and was then?
A65849And is not Christ in the true Believer where the Body is dead because of sin?
A65849And is not its Salvation deliverance and safety from sin, wrought within by the Power and Arm of God?
A65849And now I Query, What Reason is it this Opposer would have us make use of, and what is the ground of it in man?
A65849And that all must be condemned who can not own you in your imposed Shadows, called Ordinances, upon pretence of the Scripture being your only Rule?
A65849And their knowledge not to be divine, nor after the Spirit?
A65849And was not the end of Paul''s labouring with the Jews, to turn them from Darkness to the Light within?
A65849And was not this He( the only begotten of the Father) that said, I was set up from Everlasting?
A65849And was not this before Mary, or Christ''s outward- birth of her?
A65849And were they not either accused or excused before God by his Law written in their hearts?
A65849And what Scripture have Baptists for saying that the New- Testament- Letter is to be our Rule?
A65849And what a denyal of his Divinity, like the old Hereticks?
A65849And what a narrow limitation doth this put upon his Spirit, to allow him his path but only where the Scriptures are?
A65849And when God and Christ are said to dwell in them, dare J. N. say they are divided from their own Being?
A65849And when thinkest thou shall that be?

A65849And where provest thou this Doctrine?
A65849And, where hast thou these words, Personal being, in thy Rule?
A65849And, who art thou that wouldst limit the infinite being of God from his place and habitation in his Saints?
A65849Are the Scriptures and the Spirit inseparable?
A65849As also between the Ministry of the Word( which is the preaching Jesus Christ) and the Writings of the Two Testaments?
A65849As to his calling it a natural Light, what rule hath he in Scripture for so calling it?
A65849But hath he it not only as more eminently and above all others?
A65849But, hast not thou often essayed to have laid another Foundation for Faith and Assurance, even the Scriptures, or the Letter?
A65849Can any come truly to know the true God, or Jesus Christ, without immediate Revelation?
A65849Can he then think that Bibles grew and multiplied?
A65849Did not he distinguish between them?
A65849Do you judge that none hear his Voice but such as you plunge in Water?
A65849Do you own the immediate Teaching of the Spirit, or divine Revelation to be attainable in these dayes?
A65849Do you think the Spirit is to be received in the Scriptures?
A65849Does Milk flow from Letter, or Spirit?
A65849Doth His being with the Father, or at His right hand in Heaven, hinder Him from being in his People?
A65849Doth not this oppose the Infiniteness and Omnipresence of God, and Jesus Chri ● ● ●, ● nd bring them under the limitation of finite creatures?
A65849For first, Where provest thou in all the Rule( thou pretendest) That the Scriptures are the Touchstone and golden Rule to try the Spirits by?
A65849For where doth the Scripture say, That Christ shall come the second time in Person to save?
A65849For, hath not God Immortality above and before all others?

A65849How was Heaven, and Earth, and the VVorld made by the VVord of God?
A65849I ask, If the Son of God was not Christ?
A65849If God, and Christ, and Holy Spirit be within them, then there is none above them; Is not this spiritual pride?

A65849Is not the will of God Infinite?
A65849Is not there a manifest difference between the Word( that made all things) and the words spoken, or writ?
A65849Is not this Rantism in the highest, that your Brother hath affirmed?
A65849Is the Essence or Being of the Son of God, Personal?
A65849Is there no distinction between the Word and words?
A65849John N ● wman, where''s thy Reason, and what and w ● ence is it?
A65849May it not be here implyed, that he hath a spiritual being?
A65849Must all the S ● ints have their Hope, Expectation, and Faith for Salvation of their Souls unanswered till then?

A65849See what a deadly blow he hath given to his( and their) own Cause?
A65849T. D. replied, Would you question whether there were such a man as King Henry the Eight?
A65849THe Question disputed on both times was, Whether the Scriptures are the only Rule of Faith, yea or nay?
A65849The Kingdom of God was within the Pharisees; Christ saith, It is within; but this Man saith, Not within: Shall we believe Christ or him?
A65849The New- Testament Letter is to be our Rule?
A65849Thou hast scofft herein without any ground, and thereby discovered thy own folly; For, Is not the Incorruptible Seed a pure Seed?
A65849Was his perswading them to believe in Christ, in opposition to his Light within?
A65849Was not his Being Divine, before his Incarnation or Appearance in Person?
A65849Was this a fit comparison for their Assertion of the Scriptures being the only Rule?
A65849What Confusion is this?
A65849What Word was this that the Devil taketh out of mens hearts?
A65849What a gross Error is it to affirm, That Christ was not from the beginning;( or that he was not the Word in the b ● ginning?)
A65849What a pitiful narrow Spirit and Principle is this among them?
A65849What if my Spirit lead me to Mahomets Rule?

A65849What place is God in where his Being is not?
A65849What say you Baptists and Professors?
A65849What then, Doest thou think that the Spirit is essential in the Writing?
A65849What was the Rule of Abel, Enoch, Abraham, Moses,& c. their Faith before the Scriptures were written?
A65849Whether the Scriptures are the only Rule of Faith, yea or nay?
A65849Whether the Spirit that gave forth the Scriptures, be a sufficient Rule and Guide?
A65849Who is so ignorant as to deny the sufficiency of God''s Spirit?
A65849Why?
A65849and above all Divine Illuminations?
A65849and doth it not tend to lead into Atheism?
A65849and doth not the Apostle call the Seed Christ?
A65849and how would it answer either that Light or Reason that is in them?
A65849and so, that all that have the Scriptures, must needs have the Spirit?
A65849and that he can be, and is a Rule in it to his People, as He is their Way to walk in?
A65849and what was God''s End therein, if it was insufficient?
A65849before the Earth?
A65849do you own this doctrine?
A65849how hath the Devil deceived such wilful Opposers and Unbelievers?
A65849how ignorant are these Opposers of the Scriptures, and of the Power of God?
A65849in good men) in that the blessed Spirit doth dwell in his Children, and direct them in his most holy Will; and is not this their Rule then?
A65849is God any where without His real Being?
A65849or, that the Scriptures made all things?
A65849seeing there are diversities of states written to?
A65849the Letter?

A65849those things contained in the Law, written in their hearts, when they had not the Law or Scriptures outwardly?
A65849was that Rule the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, or Bible, yea or nay?
A65849what is become of their Souls all this while, since their decease, if they have not received the End of their Faith, to wit, Salvation in them?
A65849which this ignorant man makes no distinction between; for was not the Apostle Paul a Minister of the Word, though not of the Letter?
A65849who in effect reflects on them all, as for speaking improperly;( what bold presump ● ion and pride is it in him?)

A03497And can the lungs that haue forgot to breathe, learne to breathe againe?
A03497And is not now the Lilly verily among the thornes?
A03497And is there no good man''s eye, who will with an easie teare follow his trauelling affliction?
A03497And shall we yet say, that this light of the World was so obscured in the cloud of flesh, that it was not cleerely presented to the eyes of the world?
A03497And shall wee yet thinke Deuealion''s people a fable?
A03497And where is now the conspiracie of their ambition?
A03497And would you not thinke that now againe hee hath almost vn- Iudas''d himselfe?

A03497But, O you Souldiers, how shall you wish, that a happy palsie had made faint your hands?
A03497But, alas, Pilate, can any man behold this man?
A03497But, what an vnmannerly ingratitude is this, to accept of Christ''s benefits, and denie his wonders?
A03497Can any doubt that hee was renewed in a bodie of glory, when he was full of God?
A03497Can wee with the confidence of words frighten horrour?
A03497Could any man in this point be yet an infidell?
A03497Could the Iewes bee ignorant of his diuinitie, which was as necessary to the actuating of his wonderfull office, as of his wonderfull person?
A03497Could the Iewes bee ignorant of his innocence, who was pronounced not- guilty, by his judge?
A03497Did not mortalitie then put on immortalitie, when a senselesse bone was so endued with reason, that it could apprehend its owne preferment?
A03497Did not our Lord also leaue his tombe with an equall and contrary wonder?
A03497Did not the widow of Zarephah, thus receiue a sonne by Elias, who yet was neither the father of it, nor the God?
A03497Does he not seeme practised in the order of repentance?

A03497shall the crucifying of our Sauiour be made but man- slaughter?
A03497shall there not bee crownes likewise prouided?
A03497shall they not bee brought to the heauenly Ierusalem?
A03497shall they not haue Angels goe before them?
A03497shall those eyes, whose deuotion did still watch or mourne, for euer want respect as much as sight?
A03497shall those hands, that haue been free in extending themselues and mercie to the poore, be for euer bound by the ingratitude of death?
A03497shall those knees that haue bowed with such willing reuerence, bee so held downe by the violence of mortalitie, that they shall neuer rise vp againe?
A03497shall we yet say, that we doe not sufficiently vnderstand, whether or no the Iewes did sufficiently vnderstand?
A03497shall wee yet say with a bold compassion, Had they knowne it?
A03497when it is most burthened, and yet most variously actiue?
A03497when it mixes with corruption, and yet is incorrupt?
A62877( even on a stated maintenance) and they which wait at the Altar, are partakers with the Altar?
A6287712. Who can understand his errours?
A6287714. and should he not be of ours?
A6287720, 21. useth this exprobration, Where is the wise?
A6287727. they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this?
A6287735, 36, 37, 38, from the love of Christ?
A62877And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore erre, because ye know not the Scripture?
A62877And by whom among us is this denyed?
A62877And how many places did the Apostles preach in, where they converted not one( I think) for a hundred, that some of us see converted in one Parish?
A62877And how shall they bear without a Preacher?
A62877And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A62877And how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A62877And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
A62877And of slanderers that reproach their Ministry?
A62877And shall we after all the arguments given of Christs being the true light, follow after ignes fatuos, under pretence of new light?
A62877And shall we go after such Masters, and leave Christ?
A62877And the Prophets, do they live for ever?
A62877And then Christ himself?
A62877And what communion hath light with darknesse?
A62877And what concord hath Christ with Belial?
A62877And who contradicteth them in this?
A62877And who denieth it of any, but Ideots and Infants?
A62877And who denieth this?
A62877And why do not the Papists and Quakers observe, how they condemn their own Ministry by this Argument?
A62877And why should we set our eyes then on that which is not?
A62877And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
A62877Are all Apostles?
A62877Are we better then the Apostles?
A62877As constantly, and diligently, and soundly, as now they are instructed?
A62877Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
A62877But I say have they not heard?
A62877But the light within us can not of it self make us believers, sith the Apostle saith, How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A62877But what if some Ministers do labour with less encouragement and success?
A62877But when will the undertaker produce these Records?
A62877Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
A62877Do they affirm that all men have the light of Reason?
A62877Do they maintain that this Light is from Jesus Christ, both as the author and restorer of nature?
A62877Do they make Papists and Quakers of all where they come?
A62877Do they say that all this light( within us and without us) is to be hearkened to and obeyed?
A62877Do they say that repaired or reprived nature, may be fitly called grace?
A62877Do we not know that they which minister about holy things, live of the things of the Temple?
A62877For if they had, what need such transforming, renewing, non- conformity to the world, putting off the old man?
A62877For what fellowship hath righteousnesse with unrighteousnesse?
A62877For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the Sun?
A62877For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him?
A62877Had they their will against the Ministry in this Land, would it promote the Gospel, and the salvation of the people?
A62877Hath not God made foolish the wisdome of this world?
A62877Have not the Jansenists proved them so versatile in their determinations, as to make their resolutions such as might fit all humours?
A62877How can he be clean that is born of a woman?
A62877How few did he convert, that spake as never man spake?
A62877How few do they win in a whole Countrey?
A62877How many thousand remained malicious cruel enemies?
A62877How then can their light be sufficient to help them to the belief of this?
A62877How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
A62877If it be the Papal, why do they not speak out and say so: doth jugling suit with matters of eternall life or death?
A62877In their Council of Treat but deceit?
A62877In their Iesuits and Casuists but juggling?
A62877Is it a crime to eat and be cloathed?
A62877Is that their fault?
A62877May you not discern a vain- glorious spirit, a self- seeking, proud, carnal spirit in them?
A62877Now how did that anointing teach them?
A62877O death where is thy sting?
A62877O grave where is thy victory?
A62877O what deceivers of poor souls are these?
A62877Oh how sweetly might men live, how comfortably might they dye, if they did make use of it?
A62877Or are Ministers most unworthy of their daily bread?
A62877Or is it long of wicked hearts?
A62877Shall people travell far, throng much, be at much cost to see a gracious Queen?
A62877Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus?
A62877Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
A62877Shall we follow our own conceits which so often prove foolish, and neglect Christs doctrine which alwayes proves wise and safe?
A62877Should not our eyes and our hearts be drawn after him?
A62877Should not we magnifie the Lord Jesus as the Sun of Righteousnesse?
A62877Sould not our souls adore him?
A62877The heart is deceitfull above all things, and desperately wicked, or incurably sick, who can know it?
A62877Their reviling, but their disturbed passions, and impatience of gainfaying?
A62877Then he remembred the daies of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the Sea, with the shepherd of his flock?
A62877We will not venture our lives upon Mountebanks, and will we venture our souls upon deceivers?
A62877What advantage then bath the Jew?
A62877What do their censures of others shew, but a minde to extoll themselves?
A62877What is man that he should be clean?
A62877What is there in their conclave but policy?
A62877What new doctrine is this?
A62877What real comfort, or spiritual help to holiness, or heavenly directions, do they give to lead men to God, better then Christ hath done?
A62877Where is the disputer of this world?
A62877Whereas they say, the light within is sufficient, if obeyed: Our Question is, Whether it be sufficient to make men obey it?
A62877Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
A62877Which of you convinceth me of sin?
A62877Which of you convinceth me of sin?
A62877Who would choose his dwelling on the mast of a ship, where winds, and stormes, and perpetual tossings take away all rest?
A62877Who would instruct them publikely and privately?
A62877Who would make his bed upon thornes?
A62877Why did Christ preach himself while he was on earth, if the people had all sufficient Light before?
A62877Why did he send his Apostles to preach through the world, if the people had sufficient Light before?
A62877Why did he set Pastours and Teachers in his Church, if all have a sufficient Light within them?
A62877Why did not the world believe in Christ, even generally, before his coming?
A62877Why do the Quakers go up and down teaching men their own Doctrines, if all men have sufficient Light already?
A62877Why do they cry out against us as being in darknesse, when all men have sufficient Light within them?
A62877Why then is there not long ago, a setled concord among all these?
A62877Why what man did they ever speak with, that''s a Christian, that denieth it?
A62877Will they pray for more light and grace, or not?
A62877Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro?
A62877Would any man in his wits reason thus?
A62877Your Fathers where are they?
A62877and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
A62877are all Prophets?
A62877are all Teachers?
A62877if Reason was then a sufficient Light?
A62877or what profit is there of circumcision?
A59816& c. have you crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts?
A59816( which is the thing to be proved) or is your nature changed?
A5981617. this new Creature is fed, cherisht, nourisht, kept alive, by the fruits of holiness; to what end hath God given us new hearts, and new Natures?
A59816And is this the way, in which we must seek for Peace?
A59816And what hath this to do with the Imputation of Christs Personal Righteousness to us?
A59816As for instance, Dost thou object I am a great Sinner, and will Christ save me?
A59816Behold Israel after the flesh, are not they which eat of the Sacrifice partakers of the Altar?
A59816But I am afraid I shall fall away from God( afraid of it?
A59816But I can not go to God by prayer to fetch comfort:( Comfort?
A59816But how excellent is the Grace of Christs Person above the Grace of the Gospel?
A59816But how shall a poor humbled Sinner know when he is called, that then he may come to Christ?
A59816But is it the grief of thy heart, that thou canst not deny thy self?
A59816But not to dispute about words, I am content it should only be a necessary way to Eternal Life: but what becomes of Christ then?
A59816But they are such Laws as came upon us by occasion of sin, and therefore an innocent man can not be obliged by them: but why not?
A59816But what are the bonds of this Union?
A59816But what now if the Divine Nature it self have not such an endless, boundless, bottomless grace and compassion, as the Dr. now talks of?
A59816But when the Soul is come to Christ, is this enough?
A59816But why can not the righteousness of Christ do this more effectually, than the holiness of men?
A59816Canst thou desire to have Christ upon any terms, though it be to be damned with him?)
A59816Christ is life; is he weak?
A59816Christ is the power of God, and the wisdom of God; hath he the sense of guilt upon him?
A59816Dost thou desire to believe and to have Christ?
A59816Doth this also so exactly answer the case of suretiship among men, that there is no need to insist upon the Illustration of it?
A59816First, I wonder why this should be called the Union of Saints to Christ?
A59816For nothing that ever was a Member, can be lost to Eternity; for is Christ divided?
A59816Hast thou any will to it?
A59816How can a Believer and Unbeliever, a Christian and an Idolater have right to a part of the same Sacrifice?
A59816How so?
A59816Is he not also of the Gentiles?
A59816Is he the God of the Iews only?
A59816Is it not great pity, they should be so abused?
A59816Is not this to renounce Christ?
A59816Israel, which followed after righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness; wherefore?
A59816Lovely as a Pillar of Cloud and fire, lovely as Noahs Ark, lovely as any Serpent, yea as a brazen Serpent?
A59816Nay further, if thou objectest, what have I to do with Christ?
A59816Nay what do you think of the holy example of his life, which was no less necessary than his Laws?
A59816Now what can learning Christ signifie?
A59816Obedience and a holy life is for the glory of the Father, the Son, and holy Spirit: how so?
A59816Peace of Conscience?
A59816Received ye the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith?
A59816That is, did God bestow his Spirit on you, while ye were Jews?
A59816The Bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ?
A59816The Cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the Communion of the blood of Christ?
A59816This Oneness and Conjunction are hard words still, and therefore to explain them, you must observe, that Christ and Saints are united, how?
A59816This is fairly offer''d, but what proof have they for it?
A59816To give them better laws, and more excellent promises, and more powerful assistances to do good?
A59816To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices?
A59816What Peace I pray you?
A59816What agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols?
A59816What communion hath light with darkness?
A59816What concord hath Christ with Belial?
A59816What do you think of those many Miracles, which he wrought for the confirmation of his Doctrine?
A59816What do you think of training up his Apostles to succeed him in his Ministry as eye and ear witnesses of his Miracles and Doctrine?
A59816What live a blameless, innocent, honest, smooth life, and yet live in some one sin or other?
A59816What need is there of legal washings and purifications?
A59816What need of this?
A59816What part hath he that believeth with an unbeliever?
A59816What pretty sense would this make of the Apostles Argument?
A59816What then is to be done further in order to our closing with Christ by Faith?
A59816What then must we do now?
A59816Who can forbear being smitten with so lovely a Person?
A59816Why so?
A59816Why then must we at last fetch our Peace and security from our own duties and graces?
A59816Yes, says the Doctor, Hast thou the sense of guilt upon thee?
A59816and desirest thou rather than be separated from Christ, to close with Christ upon any terms?
A59816and do never so much?
A59816and the answer to this brings us to that great mark of sanctification; you must consider the effects of Faith, doth it purifie your heart?
A59816and yet can we not be saved without walking in the ways of holiness?
A59816and yet live in some one sin or other?
A59816and yet suppose he did, a regenerate man may be in captivity to the law of sin, and pray what''s the difference?
A59816but how comes this to pass?
A59816can he lose a Member of his body?
A59816did he take our flesh upon him, and not our sins?
A59816do ye walk in newness of life?
A59816do you bring forth fruit, as every branch in Christ( which is not rejected by him) doth?
A59816do you not think, speak, act as you did before?
A59816doth a poor mans reaching out his hand, merit an Alms?
A59816doth it overcome the World?
A59816doth it work by love?
A59816doth the Active and Passive Righteousness of Christ both free us from guilt and punishment, and give us an actual right and title to glory?
A59816doth this Election and Redemption suppose Holiness in us, or is it without any regard to it?
A59816how shall we escape Hell, or get to Heaven, when we can neither expiate for our past sins, nor do any good for the time to come?
A59816if any man be in Christ, he is a new Creature, are you then new Creatures?
A59816is he bound to give thee greater, who doth not owe thee the least?
A59816is it wrought by the Almighty Power of God?
A59816is it, that we should kill ▪ them, stifle the Creature, that is found in us, in the Womb?
A59816is not this to eke out the righteousness of Christ with our own?
A59816is the state of your person changed from a Child of wrath to an Heir of Grace?
A59816is this the way to enjoy Communion with God by our own righteousness?
A59816is your Faith of the right stamp?
A59816or is it such an easie, common, presumptuous, false Faith, as that which is in the generality of men?
A59816or upon your Conversion to Christianity?
A59816or why Christ should be called only the Saints Surety?
A59816such as will make Christ ours?
A59816that he fulfilled all Righteousness for us, and that his Righteousness is imputed to us, and so we fulfil the Righteousness of the law in him?
A59816that we should be excited and quickned by the hopes of such great rewards?
A59816that we should be restrain''d and govern''d by the fears of punishment?
A59816that we should give him to the old man to be devoured?
A59816the Answer is easie, whom did Christ come to save?
A59816to make Christ our justifier, and our works our Saviour?
A59816what becomes of free Grace then?
A59816what hast thou to do with comfort?
A59816who hath some wouldings and velleities to that which is good?
A59816who is the only way, the truth and the life: is not the righteousness of Christ able to save us without an additional righteousness of our own?
A59816whom doth God justifie but the ungodly?
A59816why doth not all our Wisdom of walking with God consist in our Acquaintance with Christ?
A59816why should he have to do with me; who have such an unholy, vile, hard, blind, and most wicked heart?
A59816〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, what consent and harmony of mind to unite them into one fellowship?

A13541How did Christ fulfill y e Law?
A13541How doth Christ open heauen for vs?
A13541How fearefully is the wrath of God come vpon the Iewes to the vttermost, who reiect this Corner stone, and yet expect a Messiah of their owne making?
A13541How glorious a sight was it, and how delightfull to God his Father( as the voyce witnesseth) when the Doue sate vpon Christ?
A13541How is he begotten of the Father?
A13541How little doe men thinke heereof, that let passe the precepts, promises, and threats, as if they were things not at all concerning them?
A13541How rich might a man be in good workes?
A13541I may vse the gold of it in some other ciuill vse, why not in this?
A13541If God haue polluted them, shall wee count them cleane?
A13541If I haue euill spoken, beare witnesse of the euil?
A13541If the Father begot the Son, then either when the Son subsisted, or when he did not: if he did subsist, how could hee beget him?
A13541Images are dumbe, and how can they teach?
A13541Iose ● h saw on the throne of his iustice, and said, Can I sinne and doe this great wickednesse against God?
A13541Is Christ thus peculiarly the Sonne of God?
A13541Is God thus carefull of our profiting euery way?
A13541Let them be Lay- mens books, what doe they teach?
A13541Men loue their liues, their lusts,& c. and did not God loue his Sonne more than thou canst loue these?
A13541Now if an idoll be as dung to God, ought it not to be so to vs?
A13541Quam maculam habere potest agnus sine macula?
A13541Seeing Christ so honoured the ministerie of man, who dare disdaine the holy ministry, and societie of the Church, which the Sonne of God sought vnto?
A13541Shal Christ that needed it not, come to it, and shall we that neede it, runne from it?
A13541Shall Christ doe this, and haue not we more need?
A13541Shall Christ himself seek to Iohns baptisme, and darest thou runne from Christ?
A13541Shall he seek only the baptisme of water?
A13541Shall he( no sinner) not refuse the signe of repentance for sinne?
A13541Shall not wee yeeld as much?
A13541Shall we thinke any of his Commandements grieuous?
A13541Wantest thou any good thing?
A13541Was Christs loue such to thee?
A13541We haue heard him speake our selues?
A13541Were it not a most irreuerent contempt, to runne out from the Word?
A13541What doth this infinite loue call for at our hands, but returne of loue for loue?
A13541What good hath many a man gotten by customable comming to the Word and Sacraments many yeeres together?
A13541What other spirit hath lighted vpon them, then the spirit that beareth rule in the world?
A13541What price set they vpon it, who flye foorth of the Church, when this Sacrament is to be administred?
A13541What should it seale and signifie to him, which hee wanted?
A13541What then if the child of God be in want, distresse, danger, death it selfe?
A13541What?
A13541Where be they that think it too base for them to goe to Church, to seek the Sacrament?
A13541Whether did Iohn erre in prohibiting Christ, or no?
A13541Whether was this a true materiall Doue, or an appearance of a Doue only?
A13541Whē wilt thou restore the kingdome to Israel?
A13541Whither shall I goe from thy Spirit?
A13541Who are these that fly like the Doues to the windowes?
A13541Who could accuse him of sin, being the spotlesse Lambe of God?
A13541Who could obserue all the precepts of the Law?
A13541Who could vndertake vpon himselfe, and foile and ouercome all the curses of the Law, due to the sinnes of the Elect?
A13541Why did he so?
A13541Why did the holy Ghost appeare in this shape?
A13541Why would Christ be baptized?
A13541Why would Peter cast off his Master, or be cast off?
A13541Why?
A13541Wilt thou loue hatefull things better than God, who loued not his dearest Sonne too well for thee?
A13541With how great danger therefore doe men refuse and turne away from our doctrine?
A13541and canst thou finde an idle time to intend no whit at all?
A13541and do we account them dung, when we garnish our best roomes with them?
A13541and how meekly did he call Iudas friend, comming to apprehend and betray him?
A13541and is it not also, to runne from the Seale?
A13541and shall we so vnder- value the baptisme of water and the Holie Ghost?
A13541and shall wee despise the broad Seale of remission of sinne?
A13541did not he preach the doctrine of repentance?
A13541did not he seale the grace of the Couenant to beleeuers by baptisme?
A13541didst not thou lay this snare& stumbling blocke before thy brother?
A13541especially the blessed Trinitie being met to such a purpose, to seale such benefits to a member of that Congregation?
A13541hath a sound man any neede of a Physician, or a cleane man of cleansing?
A13541he set his whole loue, euen an infinite loue vpon him, and yet hee gaue him to death for thee; and wilt thou doe nothing, suffer nothing for him?
A13541how doest thou destroy their memory?
A13541how shall they escape, that refuse doctrine from heauen?
A13541is not the Church to be heard?
A13541nay, what can God do more then he hath done?
A13541nunquid sano opus est medicina, aut inundatione mundo?
A13541or will hee powre his gracious liquors into fustie and filthie vessels?
A13541or, if it had, where had thy hopes and saluation been?
A13541shall thy hands aduance, and thy care beautifie such abetters of superstition?
A13541shall we refuse the lowest abasement for his sake, seeing we can not bee brought so low for him, as hee for vs?
A13541shall we think much of any conditiō which God seeth fit for vs, and Christ hath sanctifyed, be it neuer so base?
A13541the Lord to the seruant?
A13541the Preachers of the Word to be heard?
A13541then how damnable and excuslesse shall the carelesnes of the most bee in the matter of their saluation?
A13541wa st not thou the bawd to his spirituall fornication?
A13541waite Gods leasure as Abraham did: Art thou in misery vnder any euill present, or in feare of euill to come?
A13541what a crowne of righteousnesse might he expect, that were carefull in this endeuour to looke to doe one duty as well as another?
A13541what an Haruest might hee make account of?
A13541what need had he of it?
A13541what need then had he of it?
A13541what spot is there in the immaculate& spotlesse Lambe of God?
A13541why rather did not Iohn goe to him?
A28531* What now are the Christians so called, better than Turks and Heathens, if they live Turkish''y, and more then Turkishly or Heathenishly?
A28531Also doe you understand, a New Soul?
A28531Also if Christ be no Creature, why then hath he conversed in a Creaturely forme; and dyed with woe and paine, as a Creature, on the Crosse?
A28531Also: WHAT of Vs shall Arise?
A28531Am I indeed the day Staffe or Rod of Aarow?
A28531And bear or Generate a Sonne?
A28531And from Eternity Elected or Predestinated thereto?
A28531And moreover standing in Gods Wisdome?
A28531And whither went he into Hell?
A28531Are not the present, Christians, so called, as also Turkes, Jewes, and Heathens, all alike to one another in Life?
A28531Beloved, pray tell me, Did God Tempt himself?
A28531Beloved, what may indeed his Temptation in the Wildernesse have been?
A28531But he saith, God hardeneth him out of his Predestinate purpose, so that he can not Convert; who now shall be righteous, the Prophet or my Opponent?
A28531But what doth Gods Love, viz: the Second Principle; to that Man?
A28531Can the Deity also suffer and dye?
A28531Can you not perceive what will suddenly follow upon it?
A28531Canst thou not beleeve?
A28531Did not the Eternall Wisdome then know it, how it should come to passe?
A28531Doe you suppose it is enough, that you know, that Christ dyed for Sinne?
A28531Doest thou say?
A28531Doth the Anger in the Conscience Say?
A28531Doth the Divine Virgin Eate Earthly food?
A28531For his Name goeth over all Mountaines and Hills, HE shooteth forth like a Sprout, and goeth on in Great Wonders, who will hinder it?
A28531Had she not the Flesh of Joachim, and of Anna her Mother?
A28531Hath he the Faith, why then doth he despise Christs Children and Members, whose Christianity is earnest and Sincere?
A28531Have you not the Spirit of True Knowledge from God?
A28531Hell where is thy Victory?
A28531His Deity?
A28531How is the New Birth performed in Vs?
A28531How then came it?
A28531How will you stand before God?
A28531I ask you in earnest, if you be Gods Child then tell me: How or where hath Christ Broken Death?
A28531If you live but heathenishly?
A28531Indeed knowledge is not alone the way to blessednesse or Salvation; the Devill knoweth more than we, but what doth that availe him?
A28531Is he not out of or from us?
A28531Is his Soul no Creature but God himself?
A28531John saith:* The Light shineth in the Darknesse, and the Darknesse Comprehended it not; doe you not understand this?
A28531Let him tell me, How the Holy Spirit is a Principle; or what doth he understand by a Principle?
A28531MY Dear Opponent; you will needs have a strange Virgin, and you despise my very high knowledg given me of God; was Mary?
A28531MY Deare Brother, Tell me, if you be borne of God, and enlightned, as you suppose, how is the New Birth performed in US?
A28531MY Opponent in Scorne saith; Could God Create nothing stedfast?
A28531Must not the Deare and precious Name of God, at present be the Cover to Mans wickednesse?
A28531NOw saith Reason, What is THAT Now which Willeth not?
A28531NOw when the Image was faded or disappeared, what did God with it, did he let it fall quite away and remaine in Death?
A28531Now if she were only Gods Wisdome; and not Man or humane; why did she not then know all things?
A28531Now, I would know, whether it be done in my Soul?
A28531Or What had he to doe with the Humanity?
A28531Or if that were possibles; Is God become Man for a handfull of Earths sake?
A28531Or is Christ become at Odds with himself?
A28531Or the Old, which you have inherited from Father and Mother?
A28531Seeing God calleth the Lost Sinner, and willeth in Christ to have them, and new Generate them; is that the Fathers Hardening?
A28531Seeing I know of no Man?
A28531Shall I contend and dispute against that which is without me?
A28531She said, How shall that come to passe?
A28531Should God draw thee?
A28531Sparrow, John, 1615- 1665?
A28531THen, saith Reason, what is God then: Or who is God, when it is said: God hardeneth Mans Mind?
A28531That she should be impregnate or with Child?
A28531That, when the Angel came to her, and brought the Message?
A28531The Apostle saith,* It is a precious worthy Word, that JESUS CHRIST, is come into the World, to save all poor Sinners: Who hath now the Right?
A28531The EARTHLY Body?
A28531The Spirit in the Scripture hath another kinde of speaking, than the World hath: Know you not how it stands written in the Scripture?
A28531Then thou sayst; thus the Darknesse is a Cause of the Deity?
A28531Therefore I say now; Is Gods Spirit in my scorner?
A28531WHAT in him became Tempted?
A28531What Man would become a Pot, for a Pots sake?
A28531What are your conceits profitable?
A28531What doth the Name of Christ availe you?
A28531What folly is it to make or set and impose Election upon Man, and take away his Free- Will: hath not the poor Sinner Free- Will; that he CAN Come?
A28531What is it that ariseth?
A28531What is it then?
A28531What manner of Body had she then nourished, with the Earthly food?
A28531What meane you by the New Creature?
A28531Whether my Will- Spirit have attained an Open Gate to God with or by Christs Death; that I may say,* Abba, my Dear Father; or No?
A28531Which now is true?
A28531Whose Generation or discent is sufficiently to be found in the Bible?
A28531Why doe we so long contend about knowledge?
A28531Why doe you Juggle so much with the Holy Spirit?
A28531Why doest thou blame God?
A28531Why then did she Suck her Mothers breasts?
A28531Why then doe you make Glosses or Expositions upon the Scripture?
A28531Why then doth Christ* call them to himself?
A28531Why will you long contend with me?
A28531Why will you* Deny Man Free- Will?
A28531Why?
A28531a strange heavenly Virgin?
A28531and desired the Essence of this World?
A28531and did Naturally eate Earthly food?
A28531are you more knowing or skilfull then HE?
A28531as JESUS her Sonne did?
A28531as the Church teacheth?
A28531before I learne to know what is in me?
A28531but, what Man, can say, he is not SO drawne?
A28531how terrible it is, that Man Dare so to pervert the Scriptures; Dear Sirs, where will you abide?
A28531is it Eve?
A28531is it entering in or exgenerating?
A28531is it not performed in us in our Souls?
A28531let them stand unexplained, if you be not called to it of God; Why doe you so long make many † Errours?
A28531or his Soul?
A28531or what do you hold concerning the* Resurrection of the Dead, WHAT of us must arise?
A28531prove that out of Scripture; or wilt thou say, thou canst not beleeve?
A28531seeing in the Wisdome of God, ALL knowledge lyeth, from Eternity in Eternity?
A28531shall I first expect the Drawing?
A28531that Christ is become Man, in that very Virginity?
A28531that you Exchange Words for Words; and imbitter the Scriptures?
A28531viz: the Evill Flesh that is infected by the Devill, and full of Sinne and Abomination?
A28531which is Eternall without ground and Beginning, which dwelleth in the Nothing, also possesseth nothing but only it self?
A28531why then did God † Curse it for the sake of One Sinne?
A28531why then doth he despise the Spirit of Christ?
A28531why then is he a Scorner and Contender?
A28531will he make the Cleere Bright Deity to be a Principle?
A28531would my Opponent deny me also to Ask?
A28531your Cripled Election or Christs Promise?
A28531† Where is the Christian and Evangelicall Fruit?
A28531† Wilt thou now say, God hardeneth thy Heart and Will, that thou canst not ask?
A5370816, 17, 18. but how?
A537082. Who can declare what a glory it will be in us to behold this Glory of Christ?
A53708ALL Unbelievers do in their Heart call Christ Ichabod; Where is the Glory?
A53708AND may we not a little examine our selves by these things?
A53708All men indeed think themselves fit enough for Glory( what should hinder them?)
A53708An account why you do all or any of these things?
A53708And how excellent then is that glory of Christ it self?
A53708And if it were so in the Type, what is it in the Truth, Substance and Reality of it?
A53708And is it not our Duty to live in a continual desire of that which he prayed so earnestly that we might attain?
A53708And the Psalmist, How long Lord wilt thou hide thy self for ever?
A53708And we may enquire, what was this Glory of Christ, which they so saw, and by what means they obtained a prospect of it?
A53708And what are they, any, or all of them, in themselves, or unto us, considering our Condition, and the end for which we were made?
A53708And what doth he so desire?
A53708And what is the Effect of it upon those blessed Souls?
A53708And what shall we fear in the Will of Christ as unto this end?
A53708And would we have our souls recovered from these dangerous diseases?
A53708Are not these the things which all the World of Jews and Gentiles stumbled and took Offence at?
A53708Are our Minds every day conversant with Thoughts hereof?
A53708Are we bowed down under the Oppression of any Spiritual Adversary?
A53708Are we or any of us burdened with a Sense of Sin?
A53708Are we perplexed with Temptations?
A53708Are we strangers unto the heavenly visits of consolation and joys, those visitations of God whereby he preserves our souls?
A53708BUT the Enquiry is as before; How shall we have a view of this Love, of God as Love?
A53708But as Job speaks, Where shall this Wisdom be found, and what is the place of understanding?
A53708But he who hath obtained a View of the Glory of Christ, will in the midst of them all say, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A53708But how incomparable with respect hereunto is that Condescention of Christ, whereof we have given an Account?
A53708But how is it possible that a man should attain such an Inclination unto, such a Readiness for such a vehement desire of a Dissolution?
A53708But the Question is, How me may attain it?
A53708But the enquiry is, in what way, or by what means, we may obtain the supplies and communications of him unto this end?
A53708But this seems somewhat strange unto Reason; where is the Justice, where is the Equity, that the just should suffer for the unjust?
A53708But what can we see herein?
A53708By what way or means shall we behold the Glory of it?
A53708Can we by searching, find out God?
A53708Can we find out the Almighty to perfection?
A53708Can you give a reason of this hope that is in you?
A53708Commonly they issue in a groan or a sigh; Oh when shall we come unto him?
A53708DO any of us find decays in Grace prevailing in us; deadness, coldness, lukewarmness, a kind of Spiritual Stupidity and senseless coming upon us?
A53708Do we esteem this pressing towards the perfect view of the Glory of Christ to be our Duty, and do we abide in the performance of it?
A53708Do we expect, do we desire the same State of Blessedness?
A53708Do we find an unreadiness unto the exercise of Grace in its proper season, and the vigorous actings of it in Duties of Communion with God?
A53708Do we find our selves lifeless in the spiritual duties of Religion?
A53708Do we look upon it, as that which is without us and above us, as that which we shall have time enough to consider when we come to Heaven?
A53708Do we on any of these accounts walk in Darkness and have no Light?
A53708Do we see him as the Image of the invisible God, representing him, his Nature, Properties, and Will unto us?
A53708Do we see the Father in him, or by seeing of him?
A53708Do we seldom enjoy a sense of the shedding abroad of his love in our hearts by the holy Ghost?
A53708Do we sufficiently consider, that the immediate Vision of this Glory in Heaven will be our everlasting Blessedness?
A53708Doth he not know what is best for us, and what conduceth most unto his own Glory?
A53708Doth it not change them into the same Image, or make them like unto Christ?
A53708Doth it not fill and satiate them with Joy, Rest, Delight, Complacency and ineffable Satisfaction?
A53708Doth not he alone do so?
A53708Doth the imperfect View which we have of it here, encrease our Desires after the perfect Soght of it above?
A53708Examine your selves whether you be in the Faith: prove your own selves: know you not your own selves that Christ is in you, except you be reprobates?
A53708For if one Man sin against another, the Judge shall judge herein; but if a Man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him?
A53708For what are all the things of this Life, what is the good or evil of them, in comparison of an Interest in this transcendent Glory?
A53708For what are the things wherein we are to deny our selves, or forgo what we pretend to have a Right unto?
A53708For what should beget such a Desire in them?
A53708For who can declare this glory of Christ?
A53708For who in the Heavens can be compared unto the Lord?
A53708HOW do Men for the most part exercise their Minds?
A53708HOW glorious then is the Condescention of the Son of God in his Susception, of the Office of Mediation?
A53708HOW is it like to be after the few moments, which under the pangs of Death we have to continue in this World?
A53708Hath not God made foolish the Wisdom of this World?
A53708He asketh that Question concerning his Church, What will ye see in the Shulamite?
A53708How are the Souls of Believers ravished with the views of them?
A53708How blind herein was the best Philosopher in comparison of the meanest of the Apostles, yea, of him who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven?
A53708How do we behold it?
A53708How imperfect are our Conceptions of him?
A53708How much more abominable is the folly of men, who would represent the Lord Christ in his present Glory by Pictures and Images of him?
A53708How much more should we prize that view of it, which we may have with open face, tho''yet as in a glass?
A53708How then shall we entertain an Apprehension of being carried and exalted above them all?
A53708How unsearchable are his Judgments, and his Ways past finding out?
A53708How weak are our Minds in their Management?
A53708I speak of them, whose minds are better disposed towards heavenly things; and unto them I say, Wherefore do you love Jesus Christ?
A53708IS Christ then thus glorious in our Eyes?
A53708IT may then be said, what did the Lord Christ in this Condescention, with respect unto his Divine Nature?
A53708IT was a priviledge( who would not have longed to partake of it?)
A53708If thou sinnest, what dost thou against him?
A53708In them are represented unto us the desirable beauties and glories of Christ; how precious, how amiable is he as represented in them?
A53708Is it an Annihilation that lies at the door; is Death the Destruction of our whole Being, so as that after it we shall be no more?
A53708Is it because there is no God in Israel that these Applications are made unto the Idol of Ekron?
A53708Is it not he, who in this World was poor, despised, persecuted and slain, all for our Sakes?
A53708Is it not herein, that they behold and see the Glory of God in Christ?
A53708Is it not right and meet it should be so?
A53708Is it not the same Jesus who loved us, and gave himself for us, and washed us in his own Blood?
A53708Is it not, that God is in him, and he is the great representative of his Glory unto us?
A53708Is not his Will in all things Infinitely Holy, Wise, Just, and Good?
A53708Is not the Cause of it, that we are unspiritual or carnal, having our Thoughts and Affections wonted to give Entertainment unto other things?
A53708Many say, who will shew us any good?
A53708May he not do what he will with his own?
A53708ON the account hereof we may say at present, How little a portion is it that we know of him?
A53708Of all that the Devil shewed our Saviour from the Mount?
A53708Oh the blindness, the darkness, the folly of poor sinners?
A53708Or do we think our selves not much concerned herein?
A53708Or is it a state of universal misery and wo?
A53708Ought not Christ to suffer, and to enter into his Glory?
A53708SO the Apostle expresseth this Truth; Where is the Wise?
A53708Shall it dismiss them all unpunished?
A53708So the Psalmist found it in himself, in the time of his Distress: whence he calls himself unto that account: Why art thou cast down, O my Soul?
A53708That can say, My heart is pure, I am clean from this sin?
A53708That there is no Glory, no desirableness in Christ for Men to enquire after, and fix their Minds upon?
A53708The Watch- men that go about the City found me, to whom I said, saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
A53708The only enquiry is by what way and means we do receive them?
A53708They saw the Glory of his Person and his Office in the Administration of Grace and Truth And how, or by what means did they see this Glory of Christ?
A53708Those wherein he was appointed to be a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offence?
A53708To look for Life by his Death?
A53708WHAT are all the stained Glories, the fading Beauties of this World?
A53708WHAT is the World, and what are the things thereof which most men spend their Thoughts about, and fix their Affections on?
A53708Was it not esteemed a foolish thing to look for Help and Deliverance by the Miseries of another?
A53708We may enquire, What shall we, what do we see in him?
A53708We shall behold the Glory of Christ in its Lustre and Excellency: What is this Beauty of the King of Saints?
A53708Were there any thing but Representations of Christ in the Glory of his Person and his Office?
A53708What Glory is in these things?
A53708What are all other things in comparison of the Knowledge of Christ?
A53708What are they conversant about in their Thoughts?
A53708What are they in comparison of one View of the Glory of God represented in Christ, and of the Glory of Christ as his great Representative?
A53708What can be equal unto it?
A53708What can be like it?
A53708What capacity is there in our Nature of such an Habitation?
A53708What do we behold in him?
A53708What doth become the Justice of God to do thereon?
A53708What is Man that thou art thus mindful of him, and the Son of Man that thou visitest him?
A53708What is become of the Beauty, of the Glory of that Image of God wherein thou wast created?
A53708What is his Design in this incomprehensible Work of his Wisdom, Love and Power?
A53708What is it that any Man in distress, who flies thereunto may look for in a Sanctuary?
A53708What is it that we see in Christ?
A53708What is that Glory of Christ, which we do, or may behold by Faith?
A53708What is the Faith and Love which such Men profess?
A53708What is thy Beloved more than another Beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
A53708What is thy Beloved more than another Beloved, thou fairest among Women?

A53708Would this procedure have any consonancy thereunto, be reconcilable unto it?

A53708how will they find themselves deceived in the Issue?
A53708to have an everlasting subsistence in places incomprehensibly more glorious than the Orbs wherein they reside?
A53708when shall we be ever with him?
A53708when shall we see him as he is?
A51838''t is said, Being forty dayes tempted of the Devil, and in those days he did eat nothing; and when they were ended, he afterward hungred?
A5183816, 17. what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols?
A518386. Who is able to build thee an house, seeing the Heaven of Heavens is not able to contain him, who am I that I should build him an house?
A51838A poor Believer is tryed Children increase, Trading grows dead in hard times, how shall so many mouths be filled?
A51838Again, if two lye together, they have heat: but how can one be warm if he lye alone?
A51838Alas, what could we do to please God, or profit our own Souls?
A51838Am I a God at hand, and not a God afar of?
A51838An Heathen could say, si essem luscinia,& c. Are you a Christian, and have such advantages to know more of God?
A51838And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me, wherefore should I smite thee to the ground?
A51838And if all had been done in Vision, and not by Converse, how could Christ be an hungred, or the devil take that occasion to tempt him?
A51838And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him?
A51838And is it credible that the Guardian Angels do take their shape and habit, whose Angels they are?
A51838And will you be dumb and tongue- tyed in his praises?
A51838Are not they that eat of the sacrifices partakers of the Altar?
A51838Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptisme that I am baptized with?
A51838Behold he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also?
A51838But for them that have to do with the conversion of Indians, and remote parts of the World, is it a tempting of God to ask the gift of Miracles?
A51838But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?
A51838But were not all these services extraordinary and Miraculous, which we may not now expect?
A51838But what if I have not those strong and earnest desires?
A51838But what is all this to us?
A51838But what is their Ministry and Custody?
A51838But wherein was the devil faulty in citing the Scripture?
A51838But why these two?
A51838Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong in the days that I shall deal with thee?
A51838Certain it is, God will chasten us for our profit: What do we call Profit?
A51838Certainly every temptation of the devil tendeth to sin: Now where is the sin of this?
A51838Do we provoke the Lord to jealousie?
A51838Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
A51838Do you hear him universally?
A51838Do you meditate on it, digest it as the seed of the new Life, as the rule of your actions, as the Charter of your Hopes?
A51838Do you respect the Word of the Gospel, entertain it with Reverence, and Delight; as the Voice of the great Prophet?
A51838Doth his Word come to you, not only in Word but in Power?
A51838Fear ye not me, saith the Lord?
A51838For if there be such a supream Lord, to whom one day you must give an account, how dare you live without him in the World?
A51838God gives Christ, and we receive what God giveth; to what End?
A51838Have you done any thing to prove the supream Truth, that Jesus is a Teacher sent from God?
A51838Here is no superfluity urged, into Bread, not dainties, or occasions of wantonness, but Bread for his necessary sustenance?
A51838How can Satan and his instruments, put us upon any thing that is really good for us?
A51838How could answers and replics be tossed to and fro, and Scriptures alledged?
A51838How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the spirit of the Lord?
A51838How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?
A51838How the devil got him there?
A51838If I be a Father where is mine honour?
A51838If I be a master where is my fear?
A51838If Moses and Elias, what is the company of all the Saints and Angels?
A51838If a fight of these things at a distance, what is the participation, when the Glory shall be revealed in us, or we shall appear with him in Glory?
A51838If a glimpse, what is the fulness, if the splendor of his humanity not yet Glorified be so great what is the Glory of his Godhead?
A51838If in bodies why not their own?
A51838If the Son of God in humane Nature was not exempted, why should we expect a priviledge apart to our selves, not common to others?
A51838If we can not look on the Sun, how can we see God?
A51838If we come to a Person under the Cross, and ask him, What is it good to feel the lashes of Gods correcting hand?
A51838If we say it entered into Glory?
A51838If you ask therefore, why he carryed him to an high Mountain, he might have done this in a Valley, or any other place as well?
A51838If you believe there is a God, why do not you call upon him?
A51838Is Christ hungry?
A51838Is my strength the strength of stones?
A51838Is the Lord in the midst of us, or no?
A51838Is there not an appointed time for man upon earth?
A51838Lose my fatness to rule over the trees?
A51838Now all of us must shortly come into Gods presence, but who can dwell with devouring burnings?
A51838Now rise up in Indignation against the Temptation, shall I fell my birthright?
A51838Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to bear?
A51838O house of Israel, can not I do with you as the potter, saith the Lord?
A51838O ye of little faith, why reason ye among your selves, because ye have brought no bread?
A51838Or how was he brought to enter into the lists with Satan?
A51838Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us, and what then can let?
A51838Peter seeing the Disciple which Iesus loved, said Lord, and what shall this man do?
A51838Shall I give my first- horn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my seul?
A51838Shouldst thou hate the Godly, and love those that hate the Lord?
A51838That Faith which sustained him in his hunger, would preserve him in this precipice, if he expected his preservation from God, why not now?
A51838The Question is, whether God shall direct us, or we him?
A51838The devil can not hope to prevail for great things presently: at first it is, hath God said?
A51838The words may either bear this sense; Who knows that God is present?
A51838Then when that is discovered, the devil will turn Reformer; and what Reformation is that?
A51838Therefore how could he shew him all the Kingdoms of the World, and the Glory thereof?
A51838This is a hard saying, who can bear it?
A51838To wean our hearts from all humane and earthly glory; what is a glorious House to the Palace of Heaven; glorious Garments to the Robes of Immortality?
A51838We are apt to say, How can it be?
A51838We can not say to him, what makest thou?
A51838We pray, that we be not led into temptations, but when we lead our selves, what shall become of us?
A51838What Moved him?
A51838What a word is this?
A51838What are the Graces, that enable us in this Resistance?
A51838What doth he bid?
A51838What is Worship?
A51838What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
A51838What is the hope of the hypocrite though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
A51838What is this Tempting of God?
A51838What maketh the Christian to be so sedulous and diligent in duties of worship?
A51838What profit is it to know that there is such a blessed and joyful estate if we have no?
A51838What was their tempting of Christ in the Wilderness?
A51838What will ye do then, when God shall say, ye shall see my face no more?
A51838What would the devil have from thee but thy soul, and its pretious enjoyments, Peace of Conscience, Hope of Everlasting Life?
A51838When the Apostles heard of it, they rent their clothes, and run in among the people, crying out, and saying, Sirs, why do you these things?
A51838When they heard these things, they were pricked in the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, Men and Brethren what shall we do?
A51838Whence shall we buy bread, that all these may eat?
A51838Where is there any command or direction, or approved example of this in Scripture?
A51838Wherefore had you reasonable Souls, but to praise, honour and glorifie your Creator?
A51838Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A51838Whether Christ was carryed through the Air, or went on his feet following him of his own accord?
A51838Whether is greater, he that sits at meat, or he that serveth?
A51838Why Three?
A51838Why doth God make use of the Ministry of Angels?
A51838Why now?
A51838Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
A51838Why they came not before the devil was departed?
A51838Why those Three?
A51838Why, Those three?
A51838Why, Three?
A51838Why?
A51838Will he alwayes call upon God?
A51838Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
A51838Will he delight himself in the almighty?
A51838Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousands of rivers of Oyle?
A51838Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
A51838Yea they spake against God, and said, Can God provide a table in the wilderness?
A51838Yea they spake against God, they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
A51838all understand Historically, and of some External coming; why is not the coming and going of the Devil thus to be understood also?
A51838and how far?
A51838and to what end was this Ministry?
A51838are we stronger than he?
A51838can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him?
A51838can he provide flesh for his people?
A51838or is my flesh of brass?
A51838or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
A51838or why dost thou this?
A51838saith the Lord, do not I fill heaven and earth?
A51838shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with calves of a year old?
A51838so awful and observant of God?
A51838the good things of this World, the great Mammon which so many Worship?
A51838to be kept poor, sickly, exercised with losses and reproaches, to part with Friends and Relations, to lose a beloved Child?
A51838will he alwayes call upon God?
A51838will ye not tremble at my presence?
A51838wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
A19902( The nam''s too good, though now it''s worse than ill) What, what are they that so great grace refuse, And in disgracing It continue still?
A19902And dash to dust this brasse- neckt Generation?
A19902And in that deere Desire, in Deed, insist?
A19902And not consociate him in his woes hell?
A19902And wert thou no lesse hardie with thy Sword In the first fight?
A19902And wilt not loue his long loue, thy short Daies?

A19902Art thou austere in life?
A19902Behold the Man, and not the God behold?

A19902But tell me, O thou fairest Faire of Men, Where do''st thou lodge?
A19902But what prouok''d thee, Pilate, so to rue, His case in case no more but Man He were?
A19902But, shall I liue, my louing Loue to grieue?

A19902Did''st thou desire( with glorie rauished) To Tabernacle Tabor there to dwell?
A19902Didst thou in knowledge infinit foresee That Man should fall,( made mutable no doubt By thine owne hand) thus to be raiz''d by Thee?
A19902Do''st strife eschew, that is the end of strife?
A19902Do''st thou esteeme it such a fowle reproach To know that Wisdom whence all Knowledge springs?
A19902Doe they( fiends) varnish with fowle excrements, That Face whose grace the Heau''ns doth glorifie, And he endure it?
A19902Doth thy damn''d double Tongue iudge him to die, Whom selfe same Tongue, before, did iustifie?
A19902Fear''st thou that Crosse, that is the Tree of Life?
A19902For, Rage is mad and cares not what shee doth; And Spight, enraged, cares lesse what shee saies: Then what''s to be expected from them both?
A19902For, what''s the World, but Hell?
A19902Freedome thus bound for thee?
A19902From all Beginnings pleasure tookst in paine, To make the Slaue for whom thy selfe was slaine?

A02567Christ is the end of the Law: what law?
A02567Darest thou not trust thy Redeemer?
A02567Euen the greatest torments are easie, when they haue answerable comforts: but a wounded and comfortlesse spirit, who can beare?
A02567For Absurdity, how grosse and monstrous are these Positions?
A02567Goe thy wayes forth my soule, go forth, what fearest thou?
A02567Hast thou relieued them, and doest thou forsake me?
A02567He must bee apprehended: it was fore- prophesied; The Annointed of the Lord was taken in their nets, sayeth Ieremie: but how?
A02567Hee giues his life, but for whome?
A02567Hee hath his aunswere; yee men of Israel, why stand you gazing and gaping for another Messias?
A02567How art thou a perfect Sauiour, if our Brethren also must be our redeemers?
A02567How cut off?
A02567How easie a breath disperst his enemies?
A02567How safely doth our soule passe through the gates of death, without any impeachment, while it is in the hands of the Almighty?
A02567I call you not to a weake& idle pitty of our glorious Sauiour: to what purpose?
A02567If there bee any Iew amongst you, that like one of Iohns vnseasonable Disciples, shall aske, Art thou hee, or shall wee looke for another?
A02567If thine heart can say thus, thou shalt not need to intreat with old Hilarion, Egredere mea anima, egredere, quid times?
A02567If thou hadst no soule, if a mortall one, if thine owne, if neuer to bee required; how couldest thou liue but sensually?
A02567If thy soule had been in his soules stead, what had become of it?
A02567In short, hee shall bee led to death: it is the prophesie, the Messias shall be slaine, saith Daniel: what death?
A02567Is Christ diuided?
A02567Is it not now finished?
A02567Is this the entertainment that so gracious a Sauiour hath deserued of vs by dying?
A02567Is this the recompence of that infinite loue of his, that thou shouldest thus cruelly vexe and wound him with thy sinnes?
A02567Is thy heart wounded with thy sin?
A02567Legions of Angels?
A02567Lift vp, whither?
A02567Looke vp O all ye beholders, looke vpon this pretious body, and see what part ye can find free?
A02567Nay, shall ● e sweat and bleed for vs, and shall not we weepe for our selues?
A02567Not a bone of him shall be broken: what hinders it?
A02567Not of Reason, how should one meere man pay for another, dispense with another, to another, by another?
A02567Not onely brought me to this shame, smitten me, vnregarded me; but, as it were, forgotten, yea, forsaken me?
A02567O Death where is thy sting?
A02567O Graue where is thy victory?
A02567O all yee that passe by the way, behold and see, if there bee any sorrow like to my sorrow: Alas, Lord, what can we see of thy sorrows?
A02567Oh blessed Sauiour, was euery drop of thy bloud enough to redeeme a world, and doe we yet need the helpe of men?
A02567Oh deare Christians, how should these earthen and rocky hearts of ours shake, and rend in peeces at this Meditation?
A02567Oh how grieuous, how deadly are our sinnes, that cost the sonne of God( besides blood) so much torment?
A02567Oh wilfull men; whither do they runne?
A02567Oh ye blessed Saints, how would you abhorre this sacrilegious glory?
A02567Oh, beloued, is it not enough that he died once for vs?
A02567Our Sauiour is the Physitian?
A02567Paul chides this loue: what doe you weeping and breaking my heart?
A02567Prayse the Lord, O my soule; and, What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefites?
A02567See the Apostles gradation?
A02567Shall he thus lamentably shrieke out, vnder his Fathers wrath, and shall not wee tremble?
A02567Shall the heauens and earth suffer with him, and we suffer nothing?
A02567Still Altars?
A02567Still Priestes?
A02567Still the further wee looke, the more wonder: euery thing addes to this ignominie of suffering,& triumph of ouercomming: where was it?
A02567The whole need not the Physitian, but the sicke: wherein?
A02567Thinke now seriously of this point; Gods Angell is abroade, and strikes on all sides?
A02567Though thou shouldest euery day die a death for him, thou couldest neuer requite his one death, and doest thou sticke at one?
A02567VVere those paines so light, that wee should euery day redouble them?
A02567VVhat a word was here, to come from the mouth of the Sonne of GOD?
A02567VVhat an Army were here?
A02567VVhen our soule is once giuen vpp, what euill shall reach vnto heauen; and wrestle with the Almighty?
A02567VVhy do we liue, as those that tooke no keepe of so glorious a guest?
A02567Was his heart free?
A02567What a spirit was here?
A02567What end?
A02567What fearest thou?
A02567What is finished?
A02567What is this to thee?
A02567What shall I say of these men?
A02567What shall be done to him?
A02567What should God doe with an vncleane, drunken, prophane, proud, couetous soule?
A02567What should we doe but striue& suffer, as our Generall hath done; that we may raigne as he doth, and once triumph in our Consummatum est?
A02567What sodaine familiarity is this?
A02567What suffered hee?
A02567What therefore is finished?
A02567What wonder is it, that wee haue so much plague, while wee haue so much sinne?
A02567What, euen me, my Father?
A02567Whatsoeuer God is, what art thou?
A02567When?
A02567Where abouts?
A02567Which of his senses now was not a window to let in sorrow?
A02567Which was hee?
A02567Whither dost thou reserue thy selfe, thou weake and timorous Creature?
A02567Whither gaue hee it vp?
A02567Who is the King of glory?
A02567Who knowes not, that man had made himselfe a deepe debter, a bankrupt, an out- law to GOD?
A02567Who then shall comfort him?
A02567Who then?
A02567With whome?
A02567Yet any thing is light to the Soule, whiles the comfortes of God sustaine it: who can dismay, where God will relieue?
A02567and doe wee, their cold and feeble ofspring, looke pale at the face of a faire and naturall death; abhorre the violent, though for Christ?
A02567are the desires of thy soule with God?
A02567as those that should neuer part with it, as those that thinke it giuen them to spend, not to returne with a reckoning?
A02567distempred with passions, charged with sinnes, vexed with tentations; aboue none of these: how should it bee otherwise?
A02567do we now againe goe about to fetch him out of his glory, to scorne and crucifie him?
A02567doest thou long for holines, complaine of thy imperfections, struggle against thy corruptions?
A02567doth griefe& hatred striue within thee, whether shal be more?
A02567forsaken me?
A02567from one Christ to another?
A02567he gaue vpp the Ghost, and wouldest thou keepe it?
A02567he must be sold: for what?
A02567himselfe?
A02567his Father?
A02567how farre are our soules gone, that could not be ransomed with any easier price?
A02567how gaue hee it vpp, and whither?
A02567how long shall thy poore Church find her ornamentes, her sorrows?
A02567how should our faces be couered with darkenesse, and our ioy be turned into heauinesse?
A02567how worthie of so happie a succession?
A02567how worthy neuer to die?
A02567how worthy of a soule so neere to his heauen?
A02567nayled to it, so is the prophesie, foderunt manus, they haue pierced my hands and my feet, sayth the Psalmist: with what company?
A02567or what haue the prophesies of so many hundreds, yea thousands of yeeres foresaid, that is not with this word finished?
A02567or what wouldest thou doe with thy selfe?
A02567sacrifices still?
A02567saith one, O LORD, what thirstest thou for?
A02567shall hee weepe to vs in this Market place, and shall not we mourne?
A02567sprinkling, shauing, purifying?
A02567still all, and more then all?
A02567still vnctions?
A02567still washings?
A02567thirty siluer peeces, and what must those doe?
A02567to the Crosse, it is the prophesie, hanging vpon a tree, saith Moses, how lift vp?
A02567two theeues, with the wicked was hee numbred, sayth Esay: where?
A02567wee haue him, thanks be to our good God, and we heare him dayly; and whither shall wee goe from thee?
A02567what a speech?
A02567what shall be the issue?
A02567where is thine obedience to his commandements?
A02567wherein?
A02567while thou art secure, prophane, impenitent, thou art a VVolfe, or a Goate: My sheepe heare my voyce: what is his voyce, but his preceptes?
A02567who could accomplish them, but the Sonne of God?
A02567who could foretell these thinges, but the spirite of God?
A02567whome wouldest thou follow, if not thy Redeemer?
A02567without the gates saith the prophesie: what becomes of his garments?
A02567yet further, betwixt both these and his loue, what a conflict was there?
A8694721, What is to be seen there?
A86947And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph: Doth my Father yet live?
A86947And he said anto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this?
A86947And how can Blood witness Salvation, Justification, and the like, seeing the VVater and Blood of Christ was long since spilt upon the ground?
A86947And it grew up with his children; that is, with Christ''s children: Who are those?
A86947And through thy knowledge shall thy weak brother perish for whom Christ died?
A86947And whence had the Seraphim it?
A86947Are you contented to be undone, to lose all that you have and are?
A86947Are you willing to have all burnt up in you by that fiery flame that issueth out of Christs mouth?
A86947Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
A86947Born where?
A86947But do you work with your hands, and set upon some manual calling or other?
A86947But how shall he come?
A86947But of what use?
A86947But shall not he come and reign, with that very flesh and body which he had at Ierusalem?
A86947But some will say, How are the dead raised?
A86947But the righteousness which is of faith, speaketh on this wise: Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?
A86947But we hope you would have us have a livelihood?
A86947But what doth the Father witness of Christ?
A86947But what is a daughter of Hierusalem?
A86947But what is it to seek righteousness, as it were, by the Law?
A86947But what is the glory of Angels?
A86947But what is the righteousness of Christ?
A86947But what is the righteousness which is by believing?
A86947But what is this live coal?
A86947But what saith it?
A86947But what should I not say in my heart?
A86947But what word?
A86947But when will he come?
A86947But who is it that saith, that Christ is within us?
A86947But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand whon he appeareth?
A86947But why is Christ called the Word of God in Scripture?
A86947But why is God called the Father?
A86947But why is he called the Word of Truth?
A86947But you will ask me, What is that?
A86947But you will ask me, What is the Father?
A86947But, may some say, How can VVater witness Sanctification, washing, cleansing of the soul?
A86947But, may some say, How shall I confess him, when I do not know whether or no he is in me?
A86947But, may some say, How shall we know whether we have a Call to this or to that?
A86947But, may some say, Where is the promise of his coming?
A86947Can you preach twice every day of the week throughout the yeer, without other mens books?
A86947Can you preach, all books being taken away from you save the Bible, at any time when you are desired to do it?
A86947Deal seriously with me; did not Christ within thee, discover it to thee?
A86947Do you know what you desire, what you ask for?
A86947Do you love it as Christ loves it?
A86947Doth God take care for Oxen?
A86947For want of a feeling of Christ within us, we are ready to say in our hearts, though not with our mouthes, Who shall descend into the deep?
A86947Friends, do ye believe it?
A86947Friends, why do ye not sing and shout for joy, seeing the Lord is within you?
A86947Have none but they a warrant to write?
A86947How confess him?
A86947How do you know that you do not injoy him?
A86947How nigh me?
A86947How shall we live ▪ say they, else?
A86947How?
A86947I shall answer this, by asking another Question: How did Abel, being dead, speak?
A86947If it be so, that Christ is within us, Then let us confess him with our mouthes; this is our duty, to confess him: Whom?
A86947If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather?
A86947If we have sown unto you all spiritual things, is it a great thing, if we shall reap your carnal things?
A86947Is not the same Spirit in one, as in the other?
A86947Is not this good news?
A86947Is there any thing to be seen or learn''d from her?
A86947Is there any thing to be seen that is worth the seeing, in Egypt, where there is nothing but blackness ▪ darkness, bondage, cruelty, and the like?
A86947Just so, poor souls many times say to God, when he seems to their souls as a man amazed, and as one that can not save them; Why art thou so, Lord?
A86947Let me see you Priests do so: where is there such a spirit as Paul had, among you?
A86947Or I onely and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
A86947Or saith he it altogether for our sakes?
A86947Or saith not the Law the same also?
A86947Or, who shall descend into the deep?
A86947Say I these things as a man?
A86947Say not in thine heart, Who shall descend into the deep?
A86947The Question is this: Who is he that overcometh the world?
A86947The Word is nigh, Whom?
A86947The priests said not, Where is the Lord?
A86947The prophets prophesie falsly, and the priests bear rule by their means, and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof?
A86947The word of faith, which we preach ▪ What word is that?
A86947Then why do you not rejoyce and sing?
A86947These two things following: First, Who shall ascend into heaven?
A86947This is a paradox, a strange thing: how can a man be crucified, and yet live?
A86947Thus saith the Lord, O priests, that despise my name; and ye say, Wherein have we despised thy Name?
A86947To the first, I ask you this: Is all Truth in learned godly men?
A86947VVhat have you seen the Lord, and are alive?
A86947VVhat is that?
A86947VVhat is the glory?
A86947VVhat, Christ born in Egypt, among the Egyptians, where there is nothing but cruelty, darkness, and bondage?
A86947VVhat, a harlot?
A86947VVhat, have you seen the Lord, and are not dead, and are not undone?
A86947VVhen God speaks to a soul, Thou art the man that hast sinned, that hast slain Christ; either he will cry out, VVhat shall I do to be saved?
A86947VVhere?
A86947VVhy, is there any thing to be seen in Babylon, among the Babylonians?
A86947Wait: who knows but that he may come down in a cloud of darkness into your hrarts?
A86947We are ready to speak it in our hearts, though not in our mouthes, Who shall ascend into heaven?
A86947What are these clouds?
A86947What are those?
A86947What care they for offending the Conscience of Gods people?
A86947What cloud?
A86947What doth the holy Ghost witness?
A86947What greater testimony can there be in Heaven, then the testimony of three?
A86947What is Philistia?
A86947What is Tyre?
A86947What is it to walk in the Name of the Lord?
A86947What is meant by that day?
A86947What is meant by the holy mountains?
A86947What is my reward then?
A86947What is that?
A86947What is that?
A86947What is that?
A86947What is that?
A86947What is that?
A86947What is to be seen in Rahab?
A86947What is to be seen there?
A86947What is to be seen there?
A86947What makes you say so?
A86947What makes you think he is not within you?
A86947What shall we take notice of?
A86947What singers and players on Instruments shall be there?
A86947What then shall it be?
A86947What was Ethiopia?
A86947What, born in that sinful City?
A86947What, make mention of Rahab and Babylon?
A86947What, my God?
A86947What, to me?
A86947Where hadst thou it?
A86947Where is it?
A86947Where is the wise?
A86947Where?
A86947Where?
A86947Where?
A86947Where?
A86947Wherefore?
A86947Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
A86947Who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk thereof?
A86947Who gave it thee?
A86947Who goeth a warfare at his own charges?
A86947Who is that?
A86947Who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof?
A86947Who shall stand when he appeareth?
A86947Why can not you acknowledge it?
A86947Why do you say so?
A86947Why do you say so?
A86947Why is he called the word of faith?
A86947Why should ye fear?
A86947Why shouldst thou seem to be as a man amazed with us, and as a mighty man that can not save us?
A86947Why?
A86947Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar, and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee?
A86947Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
A86947and what is the holy Ghost?
A86947and why the holy Ghost?
A86947and with what body do they come?
A86947is it a great one or not?
A86947is it a truth to your souls?
A86947or in what doth the matter of it consist?
A86947what asking ▪ each other is there amongst them, What is such a Living worth, and such a Living; is it worth any thing?
A86947what is the Son?
A86947what is the reason of it?
A86947where is the disputer of this world?
A86947where is the scribe?
A86947who would not wait, seeing there is no safety in resisting, but in patiently waiting?
A86947why the Son?
A1369910 O good Iesu, when shall I stand to behold thee?
A1369910 To whom shall I 〈 ◊ 〉 credit Lord?
A1369910 Whereof then can I glory?
A1369911 And if thou shouldest drive him from thee, and loose him, unto whom wilt thou fly, and what friend wilt thou then seeke?
A1369911 I or what other Nation is there so famous, as the Christian people?
A1369911 Thinkest thou, that thou shalt alwaies have spirituall consolations at will?
A1369911 What availeth it to delay confession,& to deferre receaving?
A1369911 What else doth the care for future incertainties bring thee, but sorrow upon sorrow?
A1369911 Wherein then Lord?
A1369912 Are not all painfull labours to be endured for everlasting life?
A1369912 O when shall it be fully graunted me to consider in quietnes of mind, and see how sweet thou my Lord God art?
A1369912 O with how great wisdome hast thou warned us to take heed of men?
A1369912 Vnlesse thou, O Lord didst say it, who would believe it to be true?
A1369912 What shall I say, being guilty, and full of all confusion?
A1369913 And how can a life be loved that hath so many afflictions, and is subject to so many calamities and miseries?
A1369913 But what shall I give unto our Lord in returne of this grace, for so singular a charity?
A1369913 Vaine man, what canst thou complain of?
A1369913 What is that?
A1369913 Where then is the lurking hole of glory?
A1369914 How is it called a life that begetteth so many deaths, and plagues?
A1369914 O how short and deceiptfull, how inordinate, and filthy are all those pleasures?
A1369914 What shall I give thee for all these thousands of benefits?
A1369915 O how great was the fervour of all religious persons in the beginning of their holy institution?
A1369915 What is all flesh in thy sight?
A1369916 For who is there, that approaching humbly unto the fountaine of sweetnesse, doth not carry away from thence at least some litle sweetnesse?
A1369916 How great was their devotion ● to praier, how great emulation of vertue?
A1369917 O my God, how much did they endeavour to please thee, and alas how ● itle is that which I doe?
A1369917 Or who standing by a great fire, receaveth not some small heat thereby?
A1369919 O how great a Lord doth she entertaine?
A1369919 To lay ones selfe open to few, alwaies to seeke after thee, the beholder of the heart?
A136992 But whence is this to me, that thou vouchsafest to come unto me?
A136992 For what is it to thee, whether that man be such or no, or whether this man doe, or speak this or that?
A136992 How shall I passe through them without hurt?
A136992 Lord, what cause have I to complaine, if thou forsake me?
A136992 What are those, Lord?
A136992 What secular person is there, that would not willingly receive spirituall joy and comfort, if he could alwaies have it?
A136992 Where hath it beene well with me without thee?
A136992 Wherefore Lord?
A136992 Why art thou grieved for every litle trifle spoken and done against thee?
A136992 Why art thou troubled, when things succeed not as thou wouldst or desirest, for who is he that hath all things accoording to his mind?
A136992 You shall easily perceive how litle or nothing at all it is that we doe, alas what is our life, if you doe but compare it with theirs?
A1369920 My Lord is my light and my salvation, whom then shall I feare?
A1369920 There is none under heaven that can comfort me, but thou my Lord God, the heavenly Physitian of soule ●, that strikest, and healest?
A1369921 But wherein?
A1369921 If I be tempted and vexed with many tribulations, I will not feare these evils whilest thy grace is with me?
A1369921 If thou art not able to overcome these things that be litle and light, how wilt thou be able to conquer those things that are more difficult?
A1369921 To how many hath vertue known and overhastily commended been hurtfull?
A1369921 Why therefore doe I not become more fervent in thy venerable presence?
A1369924 If thou wilt not endure adversity, how art thou Christ''s friend?
A1369924 What am I without it, but a rotten peece of wood, and an unprofitable stalke only meet for the fire?
A1369924 Whereupon therefore can I hope, or wherein ought I to trust, but in the great mercy of God alone, and in the onely hope of heavenly grace?
A1369925 O if Iesus Christ and him Crucified would sink deep into our hearts, how quickly and sufficiently learned should we prove?
A1369925 Thinkest thou to escape that which no man could ever avoid?
A1369926 In their life time they seemed to be some body; who but they?
A1369927 And how doest thou seeke any other way, then this Kings high way, which is the way of the holy Crosse?
A1369927 Why art tho ● willing and desirous to see that which is unlawfull for thee to have and injoy?
A1369928 The whole life of Christ was a Crosse and Martyrdome: and doest thou seeke rest and joy?
A1369929 What will become of us in the end, who begiu to waxe cold so timely?
A136993 And why doe small matters goe to thy heart, but for that thou art yet carnall, and regardest men more then thou oughtest?
A136993 But what art thou to them that love thee?
A136993 How can I sustaine my selfe in this miserable life, unlesse thy mercy and grace support me?
A136993 How dare a sinner presume to appeare before thee?
A136993 Lord I am now afflicted, and it is not well with me, I am much troubled with this present griefe: 4 And now, deare Father, what shall I say?
A136993 Lord, how often shall I resigne my selfe?
A136993 Starres fell from heaven, and what doe I presume that am dust?
A136993 Thou shalt not need to answer for others, but shalt give accompt of thy selfe, why therefore dost thou trouble thy selfe?
A136993 What doe I require of thee more then that thou resigne thy selfe wholly unto me?
A136993 What great matter is it, if thou be cheerfull and devout at the comming of heavenly grace?
A136993 What hath thy servant, but what he hath received from thee, even without any desert of his?
A136993 What therefore shall I doe my God, my Helper, and my Counsellour in necessitie?
A136993 Who is he, that is able so warily to keep himselfe, that he never fall into any deceipt or doubt?

A1369932 What canst thou see any where that can long continue under the sun?
A1369932 Who shall remember thee when thou art dead?
A136994 But where is this devotion?
A136994 Though I knew all things in the world, yet had not charity, what would it helpe me before God?
A136994 What then shall I doe?
A136994 What therefore shall Iunworthy sinner, earth and ashes, be able to search and comprehend of so high and sacred a mystery?
A136994 Who is then in the best estate or condition?
A1369943 But he that takes delight in sin, what marveil is it if he be afraid both of Death and Iudgment?
A136995 If thou art not prepared to day, how wilt thou be prepared to morrow?
A136995 If thou say that thou art not able to suffer much, how then wilt thou endure the fire of hell?
A136995 Let it please thee Lord to deliver me: for poore wretch that I am, what can I doe, and whither shall I goe without thee?
A136995 O how strict and severe a life led those holy Father ● in the wildernesse?
A136995 Otherwise, how canst thou be perfectly mine, and I thine, unlesse both within and without thou be free from all selfe- will?
A136995 What can the world profit thee without Iesus?
A136995 Where is true peace, and true glory?
A136995 Why doest thou consume thy self with vaine griefe?
A136995 Why therefore fearest thou to take up the Crosse, which leadeth thee to a Kingdome?
A136996 If thou doest not understand, or conceive those things that are under ● hee, how shalt thou be able to comprehend those that are above thee?
A136996 If thou seekest rest in this world, how wilt thou then attain to everlasting rest?
A136996 Then thou shalt not say, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
A136996 What are we the better to live long, if we prove not the better by long living?
A136996 What can I doe for my sinnes ▪ but humbly confesse and bewaile them and intreate alwaies for mercy without intermission?
A136996 What often and fervent praiers did they offer unto God?
A136997 And now in this, what shall I say?
A136997 Doest thou think that men of this world suffer litle or nothing?
A136997 O fountaine of everlasting love what shall I say of thee?
A136997 Who can foresee all things?
A136997 what can be distastfull unto him, to whom thou art pleasing?
A136998 But why did( not provide better for my selfe, 〈 … 〉 why also have I so easily given credit ● o others?
A136998 Is there any thing hard to me?
A136998 When shall I perfectly rejoyce in thee?
A136998 Who art thou that fearest mortal man?
A136999 Doe they not shew themselves to be rather lovers of themselves, then of Christ, that alwaies think of their commodity and g ● ine?
A136999 What are all temporall things, but deceiving snares?
A136999 What harme can the words or injuries of any doe thee?
A136999 What have I deserved for my sinnes, but hell and everlasting fire?
A136999 What meaneth this most pious benignity, and so loving invitation?
A136999 What shall I returne unto thee for this grace?
A136999 When I the Almighty and highest Soveraigne, who created all things of nothing, humbly submitted my selfe unto man for thee?
A136999 Where is thy faith?
A13699And how often have I found faith, where I least expected it?
A13699And thou, how doest thou vouchsafe to come unto a sinner?
A13699And unlesse thou didst command it, who would dare to come unto thee?
A13699And what marvaile, if he feele not his burden who is borne up by the Almighty, and led by the greatest guide?
A13699And whom thou delightest not to him, what can be pleasant?
A13699Are they not all to be called hirelings that ever seeke comforts?
A13699Churches I speak of?
A13699Could all those words pluck as much as one haire from thy head?
A13699EVery man doth naturally desire to know; but knowledge without the feare of God, what availeth it?
A13699For could wee be perswaded that wee were in heresie, and that there is no salvation out of your Church, how quickly would we fly unto you?
A13699For where is any that is inddeed poore in spirit, and free from all affection of creatures?
A13699HOw may I obtaine this, O Lord, that I may finde thee alone, and open my whole heart unto thee, and enjoy thee as my soule desireth?
A13699He desired to fly with great liberty that said, who will give me wings like a dove, and I will fly and rest?
A13699How beloved a guest doth she harbour?
A13699How can he be lifted up with vaine words whose heart is truly subject to God?
A13699How dry and hard art thou without Iesus?
A13699How exact discipline was set on ● oote?
A13699How foolish and vaine, if thou desire any thing out of Iesus?
A13699How gladly would we be entertained by you?
A13699How great and sharp a combate had they for the taming of their vices?
A13699How often have I been deceaved, finding want of faith, where I thought it sure?
A13699How often were they vexed with our common enemy?
A13699How profitable hath grace been, kept with silence in this mortall life, which is nothing but a perpetuall temptation and a warfare?
A13699How rigorous abstinency did they daily undergoe?

A13699If things even foreseen doe oftentimes hurt us, how can things unlooked for choose but wound us grievously?
A13699Is it much that I serve thee whom all creatures are bound to serve?
A13699Is it not in me?
A13699Is it not of nothing?
A13699Is it possible that Religion should ever be the true mother of so much mischiefe?
A13699LOrd, what is man, that thou art mindfull of him, or the son of man, that thou vouchsafest to visit him?
A13699LOrd, what trust have I in this world?
A13699Of why doe I desire to be esteemed of?
A13699Or when could it be ill with me, when thou were present?
A13699Or will our salvation be any disparagement to yours?
A13699SHall I speake unto my Lord, sith I am dust and ashes?

A13699and what doe all creatures availe thee, if thou be forsaken by the Creator?

A13699or what is the greatest comfort, that all things under heaven doe yeeld me?
A13699or why should you not think us to have as great a care of our salvation, as you have of yours?
A13699thou knowest not what will be to morrow, and how knowest thou that thou shalt live till to morrow?
A13699to whom but to thee?
A13699what canst thou answer, foule sinner, to them that reprove thee, who hast so often offended God, and so many times deserved hell?
A13699what is not heaven able to hold us as well as you?
A13699what means and moans would we make to be members of your society?
A13699what would become of us if we had not so great light to follow thee?
A13699where all is set with snares, and compassed with enemies?
A13699where is so plentifull shedding of holy teares?
A13699which of the Saints in the world was without crosses and tribulations?
A13699who is able to beware beforehand of future evills?
A13699who will give me wings of true liberty to fly, and rest in thee?
A59692''T is true, the Spirit must do it, but will ye therefore take away the means?
A5969213. he speaks of God, how comes that in?
A5969214, 15,& c. Is Israel a servant saith the Lord?
A5969214. Who made thee a Prince and Iudge over us?
A596922 ▪ When is Christs Government cast off in respect of the supreme power?
A596922. Who made thee a Iudge,& c. And when afflictions come, and you then enquire, what is the cause of it?
A596923. comes by hearing of faith?
A596924. never such clear light, never such an effectuall Word, as that of the Apostles, yet it was hid; why?
A596925 ▪ and if he be ● udge, who shall be thy Jailor, but Satan?
A596929 What are the sins, for which God brings into Bondage?
A59692Again, when men can not endure the wil of Christ, can not ēdure exho ● tations, what doth the man mean to exhort us thus?
A59692All you that are before the Lord this day, ye shall see an end of all perfection; but eternall things are not they worth something?
A59692An Elder reproves, and they will reprove again: What, shall not the Church have liberty?
A59692And as the Prophet said to Iehosaphat, Shouldest thou love them that hate the Lord?
A59692And it shall come to passe when ye shall say, Where ● ore doth the Lord all these things unto us?
A59692And when the Lord calls him to any service; Lord, What am I, that I should now pray to thee?
A59692As now Adam when he was in innocency, and had an immortall body, his food it should have been an immortall food to him; but how should that have been?
A59692As the 〈 ◊ 〉 of Iordan to Na ● man; How did they cleanse?
A59692Because Christ is not theirs,& are they bound to believe he is?
A59692Because, if there shall be no subjection here,''t is profest licentiousnesse, and not liberty in Churches; You have liberty, but what liberty?
A59692Brethren, what is a mans happiness in heaven, but to close with God and Christ?
A59692But I do wonder what rules of Conscience such do walk by, and if they do, where is their tendernesse to withdraw their shoulders from under the work?
A59692But may not many of the Saints hear,& hear the Lord speak; but not feel this everlasting power and efficacy?
A59692But wherein should I submit to the Lord?
A59692But you will reply and say, What if we can have both?
A59692Consider how fain the Lord would have you under his Government; for many will say, I have refused so oft; and what shall I now do?
A59692Did he care for Temple aud Ordinances?
A59692Did they not sacrifice those forty years to the Lord in the wildernesse?
A59692Do they only please fancy for a time?
A59692Even under heathen Magistrates; what then do they that cast it off under others?
A59692For examination, whether we do, or when a people do cast off the government of the Lord and destroy his kingdome?
A59692For if a man be healed of his blindnesse, and be blind presently again; what is he the better?
A59692For the case may be that there is but one Officer, and is he the Church?
A59692Hence also, when men shall cry for liberty to speak, an Elder forbids it; What, may not the Church have liberty?
A59692Hence when men shall hear many things, but to what end do you hear, or what vertue have the things you hear?
A59692Here is this gain to be without them, and therefore to cast off Christ: What will the Lord do to these husband- men?
A59692How did the Iewes hear, and yet not hear God speaking?
A59692How do you love it, love his Sabbaths and Ordinances, because of his love to you?
A59692How do''s this constrain you?
A59692How farre those humane lawes and Town- orders bind conscience?
A59692How have I hated Instruction, and not obeyed the voice of my teachers?
A59692How is it eternal?
A59692How is it ye do not understand?
A59692How many women, ever learning and never knowing, and many men learning and knowing what is said, but never hear God speak?
A59692How shall we have this by Gods Ordinances?
A59692I answer, that is not the question; but hath the Lord made thee willing in the day of his power?
A59692I beseech you therefore, Beloved in Christ, set upon the use of these meanes, think within your selves, What if the Lord had left me without the word?
A59692If Christ himself should come on earth, what would you have with him?
A59692If any one from whom we expect and look for love, passe by us and never speak; What not speak a word?
A59692If one should have asked men in those dayes what good is in your sacrifices?
A59692Is it in this, that now the sweetnesse, savour and remembrance of every thing that doth refresh him, shall last in it self?
A59692Is liberty nothing but indifferency and irresolution of spirit in the things of God?
A59692It''s naturall for man to affect sovereignty, and when the time comes of liberty, then it hath a vent: Who made thee a Lord and Iudge over us?
A59692Knowing, saith the Apostle, your Election of God; How did he know it?
A59692Look but upon particulars, doth the Lord once speak by the Word, and humble the heart?
A59692Mighty to pull down every high thought, who attains this, who can be thus?
A59692Neither may we presume to say to him, What doest thou?
A59692Now beloved when the soul does thus receive the Lord, the kingdome of God is come to that soul; and theref ● re try and examin, is it thus with you?
A59692Now examine and try these things: Is the Kingdome of Christ come into us?
A59692Now to take off this offence, I said, None can come to me, except it be given him of the Father, what is that?
A59692Now what shall they know of it?
A59692Now where is your sap and savour?
A59692Oh Brethren and beloved in the Lord Jesus, may a Christian hear the Word of God spoken, and yet never hear God speak?
A59692Oh but consider, hast thou no love to the will of Christ and law of God?
A59692Solomon hath a promise that the Lords eyes and heart shall be to his people which are under him: but if once they slip the Coller, then wo; and why?
A59692Some more principall, as Word and Sacraments; some lesse, How shall we partake of this power in them?
A59692That the Kingdome should be taken from them; what was that?
A59692The great reason why unthankfulnesse comes in, is; because they cost so much, as losse of estate, of wife, or of childe by sea; dost thou repent now?
A59692The people, they say; What profit is it that we have served the Lord, and that we have walked mournfully before him?
A59692The tears, prayers and blood of men are much; but of Christ much more, and are they not worth thanks that are of this price?
A59692Then they spake often one to another, there was good effect of his Sermon: now what follows?
A59692They shall be taught of God: wherein doth that appear?
A59692They think the Gospell concerns not them; what doth the Lord say to me, come so vile, and sinfull?
A59692What do you think was the moving cause of all those bloody persecutions, when the blood of dogs was more precious then of Christian Churches?
A59692What grace hath been shewed us?
A59692What is it not to see his shape nor hear his voice?
A59692What is meant by service?
A59692What is that Law?
A59692What is that?
A59692What is the bondage he captivates his unto?
A59692What is the cause in our native Countrey, notwithstanding all prayers and tears no diliverance?
A59692What is the cause of Bleeding Germanies wo?
A59692What is the reason that they are under the power of their lusts?
A59692What is their power affirmatively?
A59692What is this government or service of God which being shaken off the Lord gives them over to bondage?
A59692What is this government or service of God?
A59692What is this power?
A59692What made Rehoboam to turn from these wayes?
A59692What means ought the people to use, that the Word of God may come with efficacy?
A59692What prudence should be used in making lawes?
A59692What was there no evill, but the common condition of the Church to be under the crosse?
A59692What?
A59692When is Christs Power and Kingdome cast off here?
A59692When is this done?
A59692When many miseries come upon particular persons, what is the cause of it?
A59692When not a hole to hide his head in, when a reproach of men, a worm and no man, when he bore the Fathers wrath?
A59692When other Nations shall ask; Why hath the the Lord dealt thus with his people?
A59692When will these Sabbaths be ended?
A59692Why do you make him a King, and ye will make lawes for Christ, and you will rule Christ, and his will shall not stand?
A59692Why doth the Lord do thus?
A59692Why doth the Lord exercise us with wants and straits?
A59692Why should ye be stricken any more?
A59692Why should ye be stricken?
A59692Why, what is the matter?
A59692Will you now quarrel with the Lord?
A59692Wouldest thou not be angry with us till thou hast consumed us?
A59692Ye have offered polluted bread; wherein have we done it, say they?
A59692You look for love, do you not?
A59692You shall never die more; doth he give peace and joy?
A59692You would set apart a day of fasting and prayer, and say, Good Lord, what a curse is upon me?
A59692and if it be so, you may be thankfull, and say, Lord, what am I that the infinite God should speak to me?
A59692and what are the other?
A59692and what shall be thy sentence, but death?
A59692and what thy ● naines, but a hard heart for the present, and horrour afterward?
A59692as also that he may sin, and not hear of his sin, and must they leave him to himself, at least to judge of his sin?
A59692because God, the Majesty of God comes with it when God speaks it; With whom we have to do, why is that put in?
A59692doth this support thy heart?
A59692in particular Cities or Townes by meaner persons?
A59692it never lists up its head more; doth he reveal the glory of Christ?
A59692may he hear it externally and not internally?
A59692or are you affected and sunk, but not driven by all to lay thy head on Christ?
A59692or do you hear to increase your knowledge& parts; or do you hear for custome and company, and to quiet conscience?
A59692or have you thus heard, but all dies and withers like flowers?
A59692or would you have him come from his Crosse, and then you will make him King?
A59692should ● e alwayes have had the same strength, from the same diet, which he ate long before?
A59692were not they godly?
A59692what great glory can ye see in them?
A59692what shall we say, that after this,& c?
A59692when is it that the Lord takes his season for the execution of it?
A59692when thou hast imparted thy heart, and esteem to thy lusts and creature, do''st thou love the Lord with part of thy heart?
A59692would you have better entertainme ● t than he, who had not that which Foxes and Birds had?
A59692would you have him come and set up an earthly Paradise?
A30121''T is an Honour for the Poor to stand up for the Great and Mighty: But what Honour is it for the Great to plead for t ● e base?
A3012113. the Lord, a Man of War, But how can this be done by him?
A3012116.7, 12. why should I look for ther Dealing at the Hand of God?
A3012150.7, 8, 9. Who is he that condemneth me?
A301216.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. have the Verdict of the Lord God go out from the Throne against thee?
A30121A Word spoke in season, how good is it?
A30121Again, I ask, hast thou considered what Truth, as to Matter of Fact, there is in the things whereof thou standest accused?
A30121Again, hast thou found a Failure in all others that might have been entertained to plead thy Cause?
A30121Also hast thou considered the Cunning, the Malice, and Diligence of thine Adversary with the Greatness of the Loss thou art like to sustain?
A30121And if these be Acts that bespeak a Condescension, what will you count of Christ''s standing up as an Advocate to plead the Cause of his People?
A30121And is there not a great deal in it?
A30121And now what can this Accuser say?
A30121And the same I say of his Advocates Office, what''s an Advocate without the Exercise of his Office?
A30121And to put a Question upon thy Objection: What''s a Sacrifice, without a Priest; and what''s a Priest, without a Sacrifice?
A30121And what can Satan say against this Plea?
A30121And what need of an Advocates Office to be exercised, if Christ ● s Sacrifice and Priest, by God, was thought sufficient?
A30121And what shall this Man do?
A30121And what will not Love suffer?
A30121And who can now object against the Deliverance of the Child of God?
A30121And why doth not he concern himself with them, but because he is not interested in them?
A30121And why not quarrel with, and accuse the Justice of God as unrighteous for consenting to the Salvation of Sinners?
A30121And will not this, when they know it yield them Comfort?
A30121Art thou also willing that he should decide the Matter?
A30121Art thou begotten of God by his Word?
A30121As who should say, my Brethren are you tempted, are you accused, have you sinned, has Satan prevailed against you?
A30121Behold the Angels cover their Faces when they speak of his Glory: How then shall not Satan bend before him?
A30121Believe, that''s true; but how now must he conceive in his mind of Christ, for the encouraging of him so to do?
A30121Besides, if Men be made righteous, they are so, and if by a Righteousness which the Law commendeth, how can Fault be found with them by the Law?
A30121Besides, if the Promise, and God''s Grace without Christ''s Blood would have saved us, wherefore then did Christ die?
A30121Besides, to assert the contrary, what doth it but lessen Sin, and make the Advocateship of Jesus Christ superfluous?
A30121But I can not pray, says one, therefore how should I persevere?
A30121But I say what is this to them that are not admitted to a Privilege in the Advocates Office of Christ?
A30121But can any imagine that Christ will pray for them as Priest, for whom he will not plead as Advocate?
A30121But could he not deliver him, or did the Lord fors ● ke him?
A30121But doth not Christ as Advocate plead for his Elect, tho not called as yet?
A30121But fourthly, wouldest thou know whether Jesus Christ is thine Advocate; whether he has taken in hand to plead thy Cause?
A30121But how long, Prophet, wilt thou wait?
A30121But never let such a wicked though ● pass through thy Heart, saying, This Evil i ● of the Lord; why should I wait upon the Lord an ● longer?
A30121But shall Christ take our Cause in Hand, and shall we doubt of good Success?
A30121But shall the Will of Heaven stoop to the Will of Hell?
A30121But suppose that at his Return he should find his own Cattel in that Pound; would he now carry it toward them as he did unto the other?
A30121But was David in a strict Sense without Fault in all things else?
A30121But what is he?
A30121But what is it to wait upon him according to his Counsel?
A30121But what should we now do if 〈 ◊ 〉 had not an Advocate?
A30121But what will he do with him as he is an Advocate: Will he urge that he will plead against us?
A30121But what will not Love do?
A30121But when I have asked them, why so concerned for a thing of so little Esteem?
A30121But when I heard it, Lord, thought I, if this be true, what shall I do, and what will become of all this People; yea and of this Preacher too?
A30121But who is this that can do this?
A30121But who shall pay the Advocate his Fee?
A30121But who shall pay the Advocate his Fee?
A30121But, Secondly, Wouldest thou know whether Jesus Christ is thine Advocate?
A30121But, Thirdly, Hast thou Jesus Christ for thine Advocate?
A30121Can he contradict our Advocate?
A30121Can he excuse himself?
A30121Can he over- stand the Charge, the Accusation, the Sentence, and Condemnation?
A30121Can he prove that Christ has no Interest in the Saints Inheritance?
A30121Can he prove that we are at Age, or that our several Parts of the Heavenly House, is already delivered into our own Hands and is in our own Power?
A30121Can there be a miss of the Loss of such an one?
A30121Can''st thou in Faith, say, Father, Father, to God?
A30121Christ''s Will, is the Will of Heaven, the Will of God; shall not Christ then prevail?
A30121Christian Man, dost thou hear?
A30121Eighthly, But what is all this to you that are ● ot concerned in this Privilege?
A30121Esau himself was loth to do this, and shall Christians be disingenious?
A30121First, Since then the Children have Christ for their Advocate; art thou a Child?
A30121First, Wouldest thou know whether Christ is thine Advocate or no?
A30121For it will be objected by some; But can he fetch me off, tho I have done as David, as Solomon, as Peter, or the like?
A30121For why might not that God who gave the Law his Being and his Sanction, dispose as he pleases, of the Righteousness which it commendeth?
A30121Fourthly, Is it so, is Jesus Christ the Saviour also become our Advocate?
A30121Hast thou also considered the Justness of the Judge?
A30121Hast thou been with him, and prayed him to plead thy Cause, and cryed unto him to undertake for thee?
A30121Hast thou desired him to plead thy Cause?
A30121Hast thou entertained him?
A30121Hast thou in thee the Spirit of Adoption?
A30121Hast thou seen thy state to be desperate, if the Lord Jesus doth not undertake to plead thy Cause?
A30121Hath God cast away his People?
A30121He also expecteth this at our Hands, saying, who will rise up for me against the evil Doers?
A30121He is not ashamed of us, tho now in Heaven, why should we be ashamed of him before this Adulterous and sinful Generation?
A30121He is unwearied in his pleading for us, why should we faint and be dismayed while we plead for him?
A30121He pleads for us against fallen Angels, why should we not plead for him against sinful Vanities?
A30121He pleads for us before the Holy Angels, why should not we plead for him befor ● Princes?
A30121He pleads for us though our Cause i ● bad, why should not we plead for him since his Cause is good?
A30121He pleads for us to save our Souls, why should not we plead for him, to sanctifie his Name?
A30121Hence it follows that Christ will be ashamed of some, but why not ashamed of others?
A30121How didst thou plead for David?
A30121How low, how little, how vile and base in our own Eyes should we be?
A30121How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?
A30121I answer, Hast thou well considered the Nature of the Crime wherewith thou standest charged at the Bar of God?
A30121I answer, art thou sensible that thou hast an Action commenced against thee in that high Court of Justice that is above?
A30121I ask, Hast thou entertain''d him so to be?
A30121I say art thou sensible of this?
A30121I say hast thou Revealed thy Cause unto him?
A30121I say hast thou entertained Jesus Christ for thy Lawyer to plead thy Cause?
A30121I say what Benefit have we thereby?
A30121I say who told thee so?
A30121I will, saith Christ; I will, saith Satan: But whose Will shall stand?
A30121I, but these are but say- soes, how shall this be proved?
A30121If the Saints were not capable of committing of Sin, what need would they have of an Advocate?
A30121If there be twenty places, where there are Assizes kept in this Land, yet if I have offended no Law, what need have I of an Advocate?
A30121If thou sayst, yea; then I ask who told thee that thou standest accused for Transgression before the Judgment- Seat of God?
A30121Is Christ Jesus the Lord mine Advocate with the Father?
A30121Is Jesus Christ an Advocate with the Father for us?
A30121Is he qualified for my Business?
A30121Is it Jesus Christ, says the knowing Soul, then he shall be mine Advocate?
A30121Is it likely that those should have the Lord Jesus for their Advocate to plead their Cause, who despise and reject his Person, his Word and Ways?
A30121Is not Christ an Advocate for his Elect, uncalled?
A30121It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A30121My Brethren, is it not reasonable that we should stand up for him in this World?
A30121Now if Christ, as an Advocate, pleadeth a Propitiation with God, for whose Conviction doth he plead it?
A30121Now what doth Christ plead, and what is the Ground of his Plea?
A30121Now where lieth the Fault?
A30121Now, what''s the Result but that the Advocate goes down, as well as we, we to Hell, and he in Esteem?
A30121O but I am but one, and a very sorry one too: And what''s one, specially such an one as I am?
A30121O but will he not be weary?
A30121Or can God repute him so, and yet be Holy and Just?
A30121Or can the Merits of the Lord Jesus reach, according to the Law of Heaven, a Man in this Condition?
A30121Or that he will speak for them, to God for whom he will not plead against the Devil?
A30121Or the Will of Christ to the Will of Satan?
A30121Or the Will of Righteousness to the Will of Sin?
A30121Or those either who a ● e so far off from Sense of and Shame for Sin, that it is the only thing they hug and embrace?
A30121Or wouldst thou know if thou hast?
A30121Saith Satan, Why that will I. Ay saith he, but who can do it and prevail?
A30121Satan often saith of us, When we have sinned, as Abishai said of Shimei after he had cursed David, Shall not this Man die for this?
A30121Saying, most mighty Law, what Command of thine have I not fulfilled?
A30121Secondly, but what is it for Jesus to be an Advocate for these?
A30121Seest thou here how Saints of old were wo nt to do?
A30121Seventhly, Is it so?
A30121Shall he that speaks in Righteousness give place, and he who has nothing but Envy and Deceit be admitted to stand his Ground?
A30121Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right?
A30121Shall we do evil that good may come?
A30121Shall we sin because we are not under the Law, but under Grace?
A30121Shall we sin, because we are forgiven?
A30121She also that is thine Enemy shall see it, and Shame shall cover her that said unto thee, where is thy God?
A30121Sixthly, Doth Jesus Christ stand up to plead for us and that of his meer Grace and Love?
A30121Some make their Sighs, their Tears, their Prayers, and their Reformations, their Advocates; Hast thou tryed these, and found them wanting?
A30121Suppose so many Cattel in such a Pound, and one goes by, whose they are not; doth he concern himself?
A30121The Children indeed have the Advantage of an Advocate, but what is this to them that have none to plead their Cause?
A30121The first is this, Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish People and unwise?
A30121Then I ask again hast thou committed thy Cause to him?
A30121Then: I ask again, hast thou Revealed thy Cause unto him?
A30121There is Grace, the Promise, the Blood of Christ, can not these save, except Christ be Advocate?
A30121Thirdly, Is Christ Jesus not only a Priest of, and a King over, but an Advocate for his People?
A30121This is but reasonable: For if Christ stands up to plead for us, why should not we stand up to plead for him?
A30121This wicked World doth sentence us for our good Deeds, but how then would they sentence us for our bad ones?
A30121Thou talkest of ● aving of him, but then whither wilt thou 〈 ◊ 〉?
A30121Thou wilt say unto me, How should I know that I have done so?
A30121What a Lover of Mankind art thou, and how gracious is our Lord Jesus, in his thu ● managing matters for us?
A30121What a Mind had he to try a Fall with Peter?
A30121What evil hath he done?
A30121What sayst thou poor Heart to this?
A30121What sayst thou, Soul?
A30121What shall he do now?
A30121What then should the Sinner( if he could come there) do at this Bar to plead?
A30121What things?
A30121What will not Love bear with?
A30121What''s Man,( sorry Man) that thou art mindful of him, or that thou shouldest so be?
A30121What''s his Name?
A30121What''s the Promise, without God''s Grace, and what''s that Grace without a Promise to bestow it on us?
A30121When I go to Prayer, instead of praying my Mouth is stopt: What would you have me do?
A30121When shall Jesus Christ our Lord be honoured by us as he ough ●?
A30121Wherefore I ask again, hast thou been with him?
A30121Wherefore, when Satan accuseth them before God?
A30121Who is mine Adversary?
A30121Who shall lay any thing to the Charge of God''s Elect?
A30121Who will stand up for me against the Workers of Iniquity?
A30121Who?
A30121Why he would say, I have yet with my Father in store for my Brethren: Wherefore then seekest thou to stop his hand?
A30121Why so?
A30121Will he plead against thee with his great Power?
A30121Yea is it not meet that to every ● ne they should confess what sorry ones ● hey are?
A30121Yea, is it not Reason that in all things we should study his Exaltation here since he in all things contrives our Honour, and Glory in Heaven?
A30121You will say, how should I know that?
A30121and O God, why hast thou cast us off forever?
A30121and hast thou tryed him half so long?
A30121and how quickly did he break the Neck of Judas?
A30121and if this gentle check will not do, then read the other, Shall we say, let us do evil that good may come?
A30121and so keep us out of Heaven?
A30121hath the holy Ghost, hath the World, or hath thy Conscience?
A30121how can it be that Satan should have a sufficient Ground for his Charge, tho he should have Matter of Fact, sufficient Matter of Fact, that is Sin?
A30121how many doth he accuse and soon get out from God, against them, a Licence to destroy them?
A30121or shall we not much matter what manner of Lives we live, because we are set free from the Law of Sin and Death?
A30121this dastardly Heart of ours, when shall it be more subdued, and trodden underfoot of Faith?
A30121what Demand of thine have I not fully answered?
A30121when shall Christ ride Lord, and King, and Advocate upon the Faith of his People as he should?
A30121where is that jot, or tittle of the Law that is able to object against my Doings, for want of Satisfaction?
A30214''T is an Honour for the Poor to stand up for the Great and Mighty: But what Honour is it for the Great to plead for the base?
A3021416.7, 12. why should I look for other Dealing at the Hand of God?
A3021450.7, 8, 9. Who is he that condemneth me?
A302146.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. have the Verdict of the Lord God go out from the Throne against thee?
A30214A Word spoke in season, how good is it?
A30214Again, I ask, hast thou considered what Truth, as to Matter of Fact, there is in the things whereof thou standest accused?
A30214Again, hast thou found a Failure in all others that might have been entertained to plead thy Cause?
A30214Also hast thou considered the Cunning, the Malice, and Diligence of thine Adversary with the Greatness of the Loss thou art like to sustain?
A30214And if these be Acts that bespeak a Condescension, what will you count of Christ''s standing up as an Advocate to plead the Cause of his People?
A30214And is there not a great deal in it?
A30214And now what can this Accuser say?
A30214And the same I say of his Advocates Office, what''s an Advocate without the Exercise of his Office?
A30214And to put a Question upon thy Objection: What''s a Sacrifice, without a Priest; and what''s a Priest, without a Sacrifice?
A30214And what can Satan say against this Plea?
A30214And what need of an Advocates Office to be exercised, if Christ as Sacrifice and Priest, by God, was thought sufficient?
A30214And what shall this Man do?
A30214And what then?
A30214And what will not Love suffer?
A30214And who can now object against the Deliverance of the Child of God?
A30214And why doth not he concern himself with them, but because he is not interested in them?
A30214And why not quarrel with, and accuse the Justice of God as unrighteous for consenting to the Salvation of Sinners?
A30214And will not this, when they know it yield them Comfort?
A30214Art thou also willing that he should decide the Matter?
A30214Art thou begotten of God by his Word?
A30214As who should say, my Brethren are you tempted, are you accused, have you sinned, has Satan prevailed against you?
A30214Behold the Angels cover their Faces when they speak of his Glory: How then shall not Satan bend before him?
A30214Believe, that''s true; but how now must he conceive in his mind of Christ, for the encouraging of him so to do?
A30214Besides, If Men be made righteous, they are so, and if by a Righteousness which the Law commendeth, how can Fault be found with them by the Law?
A30214Besides, if the Promise, and God''s Grace without Christ''s Blood would have saved us, wherefore then did Christ die?
A30214Besides, to assert 〈 ◊ 〉 contrary, what doth it but lessen Sin, and make the Advocateship of Jesus Christ superfluous?
A30214But I can not pray, says one, therefore how should I persevere?
A30214But I say what is this to them that are not admitted to a Privilege in the Advocates Office of Christ?
A30214But can any imagine that Christ will pray for them as Priest, for whom he will not plead as Advocate?
A30214But could he not deliver him, or did the Lord fors ● ke him?
A30214But doth not Christ as Advocate plead for his Elect, tho not called as yet?
A30214But fourthly, wouldest thou know whether Jesus Christ is thine Advocate; whether he has taken in hand to plead thy Cause?
A30214But how can this be done by him?
A30214But how long, Prophet, wilt thou wait?
A30214But never let such a wicked thought pass through thy Heart, saying, This Evil is of the Lord; why should I wait upon the Lord any longer?
A30214But shall Christ take our Cause in Hand, and shall we doubt of good Success?
A30214But shall the Will of Heaven stoop to the Will of Hell?
A30214But suppose that at his Return he should find his own Cattel in that Pound; would he now carry it toward them as he did unto the other?
A30214But was David in a strict Sense without Fault in all things else?
A30214But what is he?
A30214But what is it to wait upon him according to his Counsel?
A30214But what should we now do if we had not an Advocate?
A30214But what will he do with him as he is an Advocate: Will he urge that he will plead against us?
A30214But what will not Love do?
A30214But when I have asked them, why so concerned for a thing of so little Esteem?
A30214But when I heard it, Lord, thought I, if this be true, what shall I do, and what will become of all this People; yea and of this Preacher too?
A30214But who is this ● hat can do this?
A30214But who shall pay the Advocate his 〈 ◊ 〉?
A30214But, Secondly, Wouldest thou know whether Jesus Christ is thine Advocate?
A30214But, Thirdly, Hast thou Jesus Christ for thine Advocate?
A30214Can he contradict our Advocate?
A30214Can he excuse himself?
A30214Can he over- stand the Charge, the Accusation, the Sentence, and Condemnation?
A30214Can he prove that Christ has no Interest in the Saints Inheritance?
A30214Can he prove that we are at Age, or that our several Parts of the Heavenly House, is already delivered into our own Hands and is in our own Power?
A30214Can there be a miss of the Loss of such an one?
A30214Can''st thou in Faith, say, Father, Father, to God?
A30214Christ''s Will, is the Will of Heaven, the Will of God; shall not Christ then prevail?
A30214Christian Man, dost thou hear?
A30214Eighthly, But what is all this to you that are ● ot concerned in this Privilege?
A30214Esau himself was loth to do this, and shall Christians be disingenious?
A30214First, Since then the Children have Christ for their Advocate; art thou a Child?
A30214First, Wouldest thou know whether Christ is thine Advocate or no?
A30214For it will be objected by some; But can he fetch me off, tho I have done as David, as Solomon, as Peter, or the like?
A30214For why might not that God who gave the Law his Being and his Sanction, dispose as he pleases, of the Righteousness which it commendeth?
A30214Fourthly, Is it so, is Jesus Christ the Saviour also become our Advocate?
A30214Hast thou also considered the Justness of the Judge?
A30214Hast thou been with him, and prayed him to plead thy Cause, and cryed unto him to undertake for thee?
A30214Hast thou desired him to plead thy Cause?
A30214Hast thou entertained him?
A30214Hast thou in thee the Spirit of Adoption?
A30214Hast thou seen thy state to be desperate, if the Lord Jesus doth not undertake to plead thy Cause?
A30214Hath God cast away his People?
A30214He also expecteth this at our Hands, saying, who will rise up for me against the evil Doers?
A30214He is not ashamed of us, tho now in Heaven, why should we be ashamed of him before this Adulterous and sinful Generation?
A30214He is unwearied in his pleading for us, why should we faint and be dismayed while we plead for him?
A30214He pleads for us against fallen Angels, why should we not plead for him against sinful Vanities?
A30214He pleads for us before the Holy Angels, why should not we plead for him before Princes?
A30214He pleads for us though our Cause is bad, why should not we plead for him since his Cause is good?
A30214He pleads for us to save our Souls, why should not we plead for him, to sanctifie his Name?
A30214He standeth up to plead for us in the most Holy Place, tho we are vile: And why should we not stand up for him in this vile World, since he is holy?
A30214Hence it follows that Christ will be ashamed of some, but why not ashamed of othe ● s?
A30214How didst thou plead for David?
A30214How low, how little, how vile and base in our own Eyes should we be?
A30214How shall I know that?
A30214How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?
A30214I answer, Hast thou well considered the Nature of the Crime wherewith thou standest charged at the Bar of God?
A30214I answer, art thou sensible that thou hast an Action commenced against thee in that high Court of Justice that is above?
A30214I ask, Hast thou entertain''d him so to be?
A30214I say art thou sensible of this?
A30214I say hast thou Revealed thy Cause unto him?
A30214I say hast thou entertained Jesus Christ for thy Lawyer to plead thy Cause?
A30214I say what Benefit have we thereby?
A30214I say who told thee so?
A30214I will, saith Christ; I will, saith Satan: But whose Will shall stand?
A30214I, but these are but sayso ● s, how shall this be proved?
A30214If the Saints were not capable of committing of Sin, what need would they have of an Advocate?
A30214If there be twenty places, where there are Assizes kept in this Land, yet if I have offended no Law, what need have I of an Advocate?
A30214If thou sayst, yea; then I ask who told thee that thou standest accused for Transgression before the Judgment- Seat of God?
A30214Is Christ Jesus the Lord mine Advocate with the Father?
A30214Is Jesus Christ an Advocate with the Father for us?
A30214Is he qualified for my Business?
A30214Is it Jesus Christ, says the knowing Soul, then he shall be mine Advocate?
A30214Is it likely that those should have the Lord Jesus for their Advocate to plead their Cause, who despise and reject his Person, his Word and Ways?
A30214Is not Christ an Advocate for his Elect, uncalled?
A30214It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A30214Mine Eyes have seen vileness in the best of my doings, what then, think you, must God needs see in them?
A30214My Brethren, is it not reasonable that we should stand up for him in this World?
A30214Now if Christ, as an Advocate, pleadeth a Propitiation with God, for whose Conviction doth he plead it?
A30214Now what doth Christ plead, and what is the Ground of his Plea?
A30214Now where lieth the Fault?
A30214Now, what''s the Result but that the Advocate goes down, as well as we, we to Hell, and he in Esteem?
A30214O but I am but one, and a very sorry one too: And what''s one, specially such an one as I am?
A30214O but will he not be weary?
A30214Or can God repute him so, and yet be Holy and Just?
A30214Or can the Merits of the Lord Jesus reach, according to the Law of Heaven, a Man in this Condition?
A30214Or that he will speak for them, to God for whom he will not plead against the Devil?
A30214Or the Will of Christ to the Will of Satan?
A30214Or the Will of Righteousness to the Will of Sin?
A30214Or those either who are so far off from Sense of and Shame f ● r Sin, that it is the only thing they hug and embrace?
A30214Or wou ● dst thou know if thou h ● ● ● ▪ Then I ask again hast thou committed thy Cause to him?
A30214Saith Satan, Why that will I. Ay saith he, but who can do it and prevail?
A30214Satan often saith of us, When we have sinned, as Abishai said of Shimei after he had cursed David, Shall not this Man die for this?
A30214Saying, most mighty Law, what Command of thine have I not fulfilled?
A30214Secondly, but what is it for Jesus to be an Advocate for these?
A30214Seest thou here how Saints of old were wo nt to do?
A30214Seventhly, Is it so?
A30214Shall he that speaks in Righteousness give place, and he who has nothing but Envy and Deceit be admitted to stand his Ground?
A30214Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right?
A30214Shall we do evil 〈 ◊ 〉 good may come?
A30214Shall we sin 〈 ◊ 〉 cause we are not under the Law, but under Grace?
A30214Shall we sin, because we are forgiven?
A30214She also that is thine Enemy shall see it, and Shame shall cover her that said unto thee, where is thy God?
A30214Sixthly, Doth Jesus Christ stand up to plead for us and that of his meer Grace and Love?
A30214Some make their Sighs, their Tears, their Prayers, and their Reformations, their Advocates; Hast thou tryed these, and found them wanting?
A30214Suppose so many Cattel in such a Pound, and one goes by, whose they are not; doth he concern himself?
A30214The Children indeed have the Advantage of an Advocate, but what is this to them that have none to plead their Cause?
A30214The first is this, Do ye thus require the Lord, O foolish People and unwise?
A30214Then: I ask again, hast thou Revealed thy Cause unto him?
A30214There is Grace, the Promise, the Blood of Christ, can not these save, except Christ be Advocate?
A30214Thirdly, Is Christ Jesus not only a Priest of, and a King over, but an Advocate for his People?
A30214This is but reasonable: For if Christ stands up to plead for us, why should not we stand up to plead for him?
A30214This wicked World doth sentence us for our good Deeds, but how then would they sentence us for our bad ones?
A30214Thou talkest of leaving of him, but then whither wilt thou go?
A30214Thou wilt say unto me, How should I know that I have done so?
A30214What a Lover of Mankind art thou, and how gracious is our Lord Jesus, in his thus managing matters for us?
A30214What a Mind had he to try a Fall with Peter?
A30214What evil hath he done?
A30214What is it thus to wait?
A30214What need all these Offices, or nice Distinctions?
A30214What sayst thou poor Heart to this?
A30214What sayst thou, Soul?
A30214What shall he do now?
A30214What then should the Sinner( if he could come there) do at this Bar to plead?
A30214What things?
A30214What will not Love bear with?
A30214What''s Man,( sorry Man) that thou art mindful of him, or that thou shouldest so be?
A30214What''s his Name?
A30214What''s the Promise, without God''s Grace, and what''s that Grace without a Promise to bestow it on us?
A30214When I go to Prayer, instead of praying my Mouth is stopt: What would you have me do?
A30214When shall Jesus Christ our Lord be honoured by us as he ough ●?
A30214Wherefore ● ask again, hast thou been with him?
A30214Wherefore, when Satan accuseth them before God?
A30214Who is mine Adversary?
A30214Who shall lay any thing to the Charge of God''s Elect?
A30214Who will stand up for me against the Workers of Iniquity?
A30214Who?
A30214Why he would say, I have yet with my Father in store for my Brethren: Wherefore then seekest thou to stop his hand?
A30214Why so?
A30214Will he plead against thee with his great Power?
A30214Yea is it not meet that to every one they should confess what sorry ones they are?
A30214Yea, is it not Reason that in all things we should study his Exaltation here since he in all things contrives our Honour, and Glory in Heaven?
A30214You will say, how should I know that?
A30214and O God, why hast thou cast us off forever?
A30214and hast thou tryed him half so long?
A30214and how quickly did he break the Neck of Judas?
A30214and if this gentle check will not do, then read the other, Shall we say, let us do evil that good may come?
A30214and so keep us out of Heaven?
A30214hath the holy Ghost, hath the World, or hath thy Conscience?
A30214how can it be that Satan should have a sufficient Ground for his Charge, tho he should have Matter of Fact, sufficient Matter of Fact, that is Sin?
A30214how many doth he accuse and soon get out from God, against them, a Licence to destroy them?
A30214or shall we not much matter what manner of Lives we live, because we are set free from the Law of Sin and Death?
A30214this dastardly Heart of ours, when shall it be more subdued, and trodden underfoot of Faith?
A30214what Demand of thine have I not fully answered?
A30214when shall Christ ride Lord, and King, and Advocate upon the Faith of his People as he should?
A30214where is that jot, or tittle of the Law that is able to object against my Doings, for want of Satisfaction?
A311152.9?
A31115A good Christian then will argue thus, Must all knees bow at the Name of Jesus in the last day?
A31115All therefore shall bow, but how bow all at the Name?
A31115And doth not Christ there say, persevere, and yee shall be saved, not a haire of your head shall perish, by patience yee shall possesse your soules?
A31115And if it must, may we deny that manner, which himselfe hath expressely prescribed?
A31115And was it not the manner of old?
A31115And why else may not the Father be honoured without the Sonne?
A31115Are they not all ministring spirits?
A31115Are we ashamed to doe that below, which all exult in above?
A31115Are we in darknesse?
A31115Are we over- burdened with sinne?
A31115As man; Why?
A31115As man; Why?
A31115At the mentioning then of that Name were we left to our owne wils, would we not heare, and speak it with honour to our Saviour?
A31115Be religious within, and consider: Can we worship one Person and not another?
A31115Be we wounded by enemies in our pilgrimage?
A31115But grant that the Name shall be mentioned then, shall it never be expressed after then?
A31115But how are we conformed?
A31115But if they minde us no better, what say they of the Jewes?
A31115But is it disobedience not to bow the Knee at the Name of Jesus?
A31115But is the act lawfull then, and may it not be lawfull, when God in his word, or by his Ministers names Jesus unto us?
A31115But what if wee say that Jehovah were, quasi aenigma, as it were the riddle?
A31115But what pity it is, that who rightly and duly observe both should lose the Name, and be counted Antichristian?
A31115Can any Christian doe other then obey God?
A31115Can any thing be sweete above without it?
A31115Can men be so injurious to their Saviour, as to thinke that, whom he sent to beginne, and further our devotions will beguile us in them?
A31115Can they pray for them?
A31115Confessed he is Lord: But what Lord?
A31115Dare we not?
A31115Desire we Heaven?
A31115Did the eternall Sonne of God so much for us?
A31115Doe the Papists bow the Knee?
A31115Faint we?
A31115Fall we into a burning Feaver?
A31115Feare we death?
A31115First, how?
A31115For how may we glorifie God for his good service, who will not let it appeare before men?
A31115For their abuse shall we stand as if we had no joynts in ours knees, or use our joynts either for our owne ease, or an exprobration of his service?
A31115For what doth it profit me, saith Origen, if comming unto prayers I bow the knees of my body unto God, and bend the knees of my heart to the Devill?
A31115For what else is it for him to be our God, and we his people?
A31115For what gaine I by him crucified, if he be not glorified for me?
A31115For what is a Name save the expression of a thing?
A31115For who can bow in the person of God and Man?
A31115God hath highly exalted him, and given him a Name above every Name; Why?
A31115God is mercifull toward all: and may we be uncharitable unto any?
A31115Hath a Spirit a body that it should bow the knee?
A31115Have we, with Origen, found it to bee vocabulum gloriosum?
A31115Having faces, must they want knees?
A31115He dyed; How?
A31115He is exalted; How?
A31115How can this be taken, but in a mystery, his Mother being then dead?
A31115How deare is the Name of Jesus?
A31115How hath he it, when it is not acknowledged his?
A31115How in or at?
A31115How in seeming not mistaken is the world mistaken much?
A31115How mentioned?
A31115How obedient was he to his Father?
A31115How remembred?
A31115I will rest in, and be subject unto God: Why?
A31115If Divines, be they not infatuated?
A31115If any thing be precious, Nomen Jesu quam carum?
A31115If he doe all, and be all in all, whose is the glory?
A31115If it be, why are we stiffe, and bend not, tongue- tied, and confesse not?
A31115If salvation then unto wretches guilty of the never- dying death be precious, of what worth is the Name that assureth it unto us?
A31115If teares be so acceptable to God, that he, as the Psalmist desireth, will bottle them up, can the posture be displeasing, which helps them forward?
A31115If the Fathers call it subjection, adoration, or worship; what if they doe?
A31115If the Name be an Image, it is metaphorically, and can it not be so, and be not an Idoll?
A31115If they be Schollers, can they be thus ignorant?
A31115If this be not hearty and humble confession, what is?
A31115If we bring it hither, to Why was a name given him?
A31115In running after Sermons is there not superstition among a great many now?
A31115In this adoration then is nothing taken from the Father, or from the Holy Ghost, and given to the Sonne?
A31115Is bowing at the Name of Jesus any lesse, or any more?
A31115Is it forgotten how David revenged the Shaving of his Embassadours, and the cutting off of their garments?
A31115Is not Christ the high Priest of our profession?
A31115Is not prayer an humble acknowledgement of our unworthinesse, and Gods superiority?
A31115Is there any other Name wherein we must be saved?
A31115Is this damnable superstition?
A31115Is thus much gotten?
A31115It brings him before us, how then shall we behave our selves before him?
A31115It was wisdome in Christ, and why should it be foolishnesse with us?
A31115Magnus esse vis?
A31115May he be of note among us?
A31115May it not therefore come at the body?
A31115May we say the Angels have their bodies, and can we not think they have their knees?
A31115Nay how can we be perfect in him, if his Name shall not be glorified in us?
A31115Nay, who can bow at his person now he is out of our sight, and above our reach?
A31115Nonnè solennior erit statio tua, si& ad aram Dei steteris?
A31115Not farre off, even under this Crowne, non hospes ab hospite tutus; and in this Kingdome where is truth, love, honesty?
A31115Now we are at a loose, what prodigious worship doe some beginne to forme?
A31115Or did the Church only command the reverence thereat, is it not the breach of the first Commandement not to doe it?
A31115Or how may his glory be perfect in us, if his titles of greatest glory be withdrawne from us?
A31115Or what profit is it with the Jew to acknowledge Jehovah, and not with the Christian to beleeve in Jesus?
A31115Or will any sound- hearted Christian thinke it in vaine?
A31115Or will we have a Pleonasme here, and make a redundance?
A31115Per filium glorificari patrem, quis negat?
A31115Possesse we so much in it, and shall it be without regard, when we have all we can possesse?
A31115Quid mibi prodest si genua corporis mei ad orationem veniens flectam Deo,& genua cordis mei flectam diabolo?
A31115Quà vis ire?
A31115Save he; who is that?
A31115Secondly, he was annointed King, Priest, and Prophet; Why?
A31115Secondly, how can the Angels bow at the Name when they are called Spirits?
A31115Secondly, if at the former Verses demand be, why he was so humbled?
A31115Secondly, of whom?
A31115Shall I illustrate it?
A31115Shall I teach every one what to say?
A31115Shall Jesus be named at the generall day?
A31115Shall he have a day, and not he be mentioned in the day?
A31115Shall it be poured forth to them, and not be received?
A31115Shall not we therefore, and without superstition we?
A31115Shall the Lord see, and not be avenged?
A31115So strong, so sublime, who will not indue it?
A31115Suppose there hath, must therefore the divine institution be cast away?
A31115The more the Sonne is worshipped, is not the Father worshipped the more?
A31115Then what reverence doe we owe unto Christ the King of Heaven and Earth?
A31115They doe so, or else how can they pray, Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven?
A31115They say the Lord shall be revealed, and shall he be revealed without the memoriall of his Name?
A31115They stand, and have they no legges?
A31115This Jacob interpreted thus: Shall I, and thy Mother, and thy Brethren indeed come to bow downe our selves to thee unto the earth?
A31115WHo will correct, not desame?
A31115Was not he exalted after his humility, that we might be advanced through him?
A31115Well pleased, with whom?
A31115Were they hated of all men?
A31115What comfort have we?
A31115What comparison is there betweene a drop and an Ocean; a point and the world; a moment and eternity?
A31115What discording musicke is theirs?
A31115What is the Name there?
A31115What though the Sorbonists, Rhemists, Papists, hold it a duty of the Text?
A31115What will we doe?
A31115What will you doe then?
A31115What?
A31115What?
A31115Whence?
A31115Which of our Non- conformists dare deny this?
A31115Which of these therefore is poured forth?
A31115Which?
A31115Whither?
A31115Who can minde these, or any of these, and not confesse that the Lord was here in our flesh?
A31115Who will not feare thee O Lord, and glorifie thy Name?
A31115Why else is all judgement given him?
A31115Why then is not the naming, or mentioning of Jesus sufficient reason of geniculation?
A31115Why?
A31115Will not thy staying be more solemne, if also thou stay at the Altar of God?
A31115With no regard?
A31115Ye all inspect one Saviour, are all called Christians; why will ye be distracted?
A31115Yee shall be hated of all men, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, for my Name sake?
A31115allow them knees?
A31115and doth not he confesse them before his Father, who confesse him before men?
A31115and if both, are they not in contempt?
A31115and shall not we be humbled now before him, by whom we hope to be glorified?
A31115and shall not we doe any thing for his sake?
A31115and yet not lawfull to confesse the protecting- instructing Mediatour?
A31115ego sum veritas: Vbi vis permanere?
A31115ego sum via: Quo vis ire?
A31115how vile was it made, in which was so great salvation?
A31115if they can, why blame they our generall prayers in the Letany?
A31115may his adopted then be immorigerous?
A31115or any thing below sowre with it?
A31115or be there but two duties in the text, and will we suppresse them both?
A31115or ever after?
A31115or how can they receive, and not take notice of it?
A31115or why deny they him his due?
A31115quam salubre?
A31115quam vile?
A31115reasoneth thus; How can they fulfill their ministry without a body, praesertim apud viventes in corpare?
A31115speaking out, are they without tongues?
A31115suppose they doe superstitiously, and idolatrously, are we therefore, ad libitum, free to doe what we list?
A31115the hidden God then?
A31115they fall downe, and may they not bow?
A31115unlesse also we can with Saint Paul, say, Lord, what wouldest thou, that I should doe?
A31115will you abandon hearing?
A31115would they then be denied of Christ?
A31115〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, a wise minde to be so minded?
A45182All our other weaknesses are no eye- sore to God, no rub in our way to heaven; What matters it then how unworthy wee are of our selves?
A45182And if this floor of thine heavenly Palace be thus richly set forth, oh, how infinite glory and magnificence must there needs be within?
A45182And where he findes his failings,( as who shall not?)
A45182Art thou then thus happily united to Christ, and thus enlived by Christ?
A45182But oh vvhat a blessed inheritance hast thou in thine infinite love provided for me?
A45182But, O Lord, if yet thou shouldst leave me in my own hands, where vvere I?
A45182Can the Son of God pray and not be heard?
A45182Can there bee any bodily deformitie comparable to that of sin?
A45182Can they affain to the Sonne of God a body that is unperfect?
A45182Can they think sin can be of more prevalence then mercy?
A45182Can they think that body perfect that hath lost his lims?
A45182Can they think the unchangeable God subject to after- thoughts?
A45182Did thy love so far over- shoot thy reason, as to pray they might attain to the knowledge of that which can not be known?
A45182For where is the man that hath obtained the mastery of his corrupt affections, and to be the Lord of his unruly appetite?
A45182For, if we set up more Christs, where is that one?
A45182From death, and therein from all miseries: O death, where is thy sting?
A45182He that hath given himself to her; what can be deny to impart?
A45182He that hath made himself one with her, how can he be divided from his other- self?
A45182How chearfully should I passe through those miseries and that death, which thou hast sweetned?
A45182How dare they stand out against the word of truth, which tels us expresly that Christ is made our righteousnesse?
A45182How dear a price hast thou paid for our ransome?
A45182How doe evill spirits& men labour to destroy that Creed w ch we have always constantly professed?
A45182How happy in thy blessed possession?
A45182How hast thou blessed us, and how should we blesse thee in so mighty, and glorious attendants?
A45182How little do they consider that Christ is ours?
A45182How resolutely shall I grapple with the temptations of that enemy, vvhom thou hast foiled for me?
A45182How safe in thine Almighty tuition?
A45182How shall I bee vile enough, O Saviour, for thee, who for my sake( being the Lord of life and glory) wouldst take upon thee the shape of a servant?
A45182How shamefully injurious were it, that when thou hast trimm''d up my soul, it should prostitute it self to the love of the world?
A45182How should I welcome that poverty which thy choice hath sanctified?
A45182If Saint Paul, when his Corinthians did but say, I am of Paul, I am of Apollo, I am of Cephas, could ask, Is Christ divided?
A45182Is Christ shred into infinities?
A45182Is Christ sub- divided?
A45182Is he a father of children?
A45182Is he a servant?
A45182Is he a son?
A45182Is he a subject?
A45182Is he bereaved of his goods and worldly estate?
A45182Is he the husband of a wife?
A45182Is he the master of a family?
A45182Is it for that there may be holy ambitions of those heights of grace, which we can never hope actually to attain?
A45182Is it the loathsome condition of our nature?
A45182It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A45182It is God that justifieth: Who shal separate us from the love of Christ?
A45182It is the love of Christ which thou wishest they may know, and it is that love which thou sayest is past all knowledge; What shall we say to this?
A45182It was a just check that he gave to Philip in the Gospel; Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known mee, Philip?
A45182Lord Jesu, who should enjoy the fruit of thine own favours but thy self?
A45182Not our sins; for this is the praise of his mercy, that he justifies the ungodly; Yea, were wee not sinfull, how were we capable of his justification?
A45182Now alas, what is our life?
A45182O Lord Jesu, what was I but the worst of enemies, when thou vouchsafedst to embrace me with thy loving mercy?
A45182O grave, where is thy victory?
A45182Oh what are we in comparison of thine once- glorious Angels?
A45182Satisfaction?
A45182Shall tribulation, or distresse, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sword?
A45182This is so justly supposed, that the Prophet questions, Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
A45182To him to live is Christ, and to dye is gain; Is he dead?
A45182To this purpose Christ gives his spirit; the soule plights her faith: What interesse have we in Christ but by his spirit?
A45182What an infinite power hath put together, can they imagine that a limited power can disjoyn?
A45182What doe we then, weak souls, tremble to think of appearing before the dreadfull tribunall of the Almighty?
A45182What is it then that can hinder us from a sweet and heavenly fruition of thee?
A45182What is it then whereby the new creature lives?
A45182What is the least of them, but a world of light?
A45182What quarrell may the pure and holy God have against righteousnesse?
A45182What raptures of spirit can be sufficient for the admiration of thy so infinite mercy?
A45182What strangers are they to that grace they oppugn?
A45182Wherefore hath God givē to men the tongue of the learned, but that they might know to speak a word in season to him that is weary?
A45182Who can be capable to love us but men or Angels?
A45182With vvhat comfortable assurance shall I look upon the face of that mercifull Justice vvhich thou hast satisfied?
A45182Woe is me, into how many thousand peeces is the seamlesse coat of our Saviour rent?
A45182Wouldst thou therefore, my son, finde true and solid comfort in the houre of temptation, in the agony of death?
A45182Yea, how readily doe we expose our dear lims, not to hazard onely, but to losse for the preservation of it?
A45182Yea, into what numberlesse atomes is the precious body of Christ torn and minced?
A45182against his own righteousnesse?
A45182all of them claiming Christ for theirs, and denying him to their gain- sayers; would hee not aske, Is Christ multiplied?
A45182and if we give way to these infinite distractions, where is the communion of Saints?
A45182and in this mutuall fruition, what can there be other then perfect blessednesse?
A45182and such are we made in, and by him: what can now stand between us and blessedness?
A45182and what are all of them, but a confluence of so many thousand worlds of beauty and brightnesse met in one firmament?
A45182and who can be otherwise affected that knows and feels the infinite happinesse that offers it self to be enjoyed by him in the Lord Jesus?
A45182art thou not ashamed to think, how little sense thou hast had of thy great happinesse?
A45182but that thou wouldst love man, because thou wouldst?
A45182can they suppose that which by way of type was done in the earthly Paradise, to be really undone in the heavenly?
A45182fetch it from his Soveraignty; Wouldst thou have redemption?
A45182fetch it from his bloud; Mortification?
A45182fetch it from his crosse?
A45182fetch it from his grave; Newnesse of life?
A45182fetch it from his intercessiō; Wouldst thou have salvation?
A45182fetch it from his passion; Wouldst thou have absolution?
A45182fetch it from his perfect innocence; Freedome from the curse?
A45182fetch it from his purchase; Audience in all thy suits?
A45182fetch it from his resurrection; Right to heaven?
A45182fetch it from his sacrifice; Cleansing from sin?
A45182fetch it from his session at the right hand of Majesty: Wouldst thou have all?
A45182fetch them from his anointing; Wouldst thou have power against spirituall enemies?
A45182he comforts himself in the conscience of a better treasure that can never be lost; Is he afflicted with sicknesse?
A45182he knows he is on his way home- ward; Is he imprisoned?
A45182his comfort is that the inward man is so much more renued daily, as the outward perisheth: Is he slandered and unjustly disgraced?
A45182his comfort is that there is a blessing, which will more then make him amends; Is he banished?
A45182his spirit can not be lockt in; God and his Angels can not be lockt out; Is he dying?
A45182how easily should I be rob''d of thee with every temptation?
A45182how entire must thou needs be with him, how dear must thy valuations be of him, how heartily must thou be devoted to him?
A45182how had I crucified thee the Lord of life?
A45182how had I shamefully rebelled against thee, and yeelded up all my members as instruments of unrighteousnesse unto sin?
A45182how shall the weak eyes of sinfull flesh ever be able to reach unto it?
A45182how should I be made the scorn and insultation of men and devils?
A45182perishing under our hand in the very use of them, and in the meane while how unsatisfying in the fruition?
A45182since thou wouldst come down to our earth, why wouldst thou not enjoy the best entertainment that the earth could yeeld thee?
A45182that can see the invisible, and s ● or ● tly enjoy that Saviour, to whom he is spiritually united?
A45182that hath his heart in heaven, whiles his living carcass is stirring here upō earth?
A45182that he might seek a godly seed: That which he ordained for us, shall not the holy God much more observe in his own heavenly match with his Church?
A45182that they should bear me in their arms, that they should shield me with their protection?
A45182thee, who hast the keys of hell, and of death, lying sealed up in another mans grave: Oh Saviour, whither hath thy love to mankinde carried thee?
A45182though mountains of gold; though thousands of ● ● ms, or ten thousand rivers of oyl?
A45182thy precepts, thine examples, that so I may live thee, as well as preach thee?
A45182what a world doe we meet with of those, who mis- call themselves severall Religions, indeed, severall professions of one and the same Christianity?
A45182what anguish of souls that would, and can not die?
A45182what confusion?
A45182what darknesse?
A45182what dreadfull horror is here?
A45182what everlasting burnings?
A45182what exquisitenesse, what infinitenesse of paines that can not, yet must be endured?
A45182what howling, and yelling, and shrieking, and gnashing?
A45182what interesse hath Christ in us but by our faith?
A45182what is become of Christianity?
A45182what mercilesse fury of unweariable tormentors?
A45182what never slaking tortures?
A45182what roome can there be now here for our diffidence?
A45182what sighs, and groans, and tears, and blood, hast thou spent upon us wretched men?
A45182what utter despair of any possibility of release?
A45182whence?
A45182who but thou( who art infinite in goodnesse) would love that which is not?
A45182who is offended, and I burn not?
A45182why should I, how can I be any otherwise, any whit lesse affected, O Saviour?
A45182would he be thus disposed as I now feel my self?
A45182would he speak these words that I am now uttering?
A45182yet had he the residue of the spirit; and wherefore one?
A45274All our other weaknesses are no eye- sore to God, no rub in our way to heaven; What matters it then how unworthy we are of our selves?
A45274And if this floor of thine heavenly Palace be thus richly set forth, oh, how infinite glory and magnificence must there needs be within?
A45274And if we do thus value a perishing life, that is going out every moment, what p ● ice shall we set upon eternity?
A45274And where he findes his failings,( as who shall not?)
A45274Art thou then thus happily united to Christ, and thus enlived by Christ?
A45274But oh what a blessed inheritance hast thou in ● ine infinite love provided for me?
A45274But, O Lord, if yet thou shouldst leave me in my own hands, where were I?
A45274Can the Son of God pray and not be heard?
A45274Can there by any bodily deformity comparable to that of sin?
A45274Can they affain to the Son of God a body that is unperfect?
A45274Can they think sin can be of more prevalence then mercy?
A45274Can they think that body perfect that hath lost his lims?
A45274Can they think the unchangeable God subject to after thoughts?
A45274Did thy love so far over- shoot thy reason, as to pray they might attain to the knowledge of that which can not be known?
A45274For where is the man hath obtained the mastery of his corrupt affections, and to be the Lord of his unruly appetite?
A45274For, if we set up more Christs, where is that one?
A45274Freedome from the curse?
A45274From death, and therein from all miseries: O death where is thy sting?
A45274Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
A45274He that hath given himself to her; what can he deny to impart?
A45274He that hath made himself one with her, how can he be divided from his other- self?
A45274How dare they stand out against the word of truth, which tels us expresly that Christ is made our righteousnesse?
A45274How dear a price hast thou paid for our ransome?
A45274How do evill spirits and men labour to destroy that Creed which we have alwayes constantly professed?
A45274How free then, and how perfect is our justification?
A45274How happy in thy blessed possession?
A45274How hast thou blessed us, and how should we blesse thee in so mighty, and glorious attendants?
A45274How little do they consider that Christ is ours?
A45274How much lesse can they know the God of Spirits, who( besides his invisibility) is infinite, and incomprehensible?
A45274How resolutely shall I grapple with the temptations of that enemy, whom thou hast foiled for me?
A45274How safe in thine Almighty tuition?
A45274How shamefully injurious were it, that when thou hast trimm''d up my soul, it should prostitute it self to the love of the world?
A45274How should a man be just with God?
A45274How ● hearfully should I passe through ● hose miseries and that death, which ● hou hast sweetned?
A45274If Saint Paul, when his Corinthians did but say, I am of Paul, I am of Apollo, I am of Cephas, could ask, Is Christ divided?
A45274Is Christ shred into infinites?
A45274Is Christ sub- divided?
A45274Is he a father of children?
A45274Is he a servant?
A45274Is he a son?
A45274Is he a subject?
A45274Is he bereaved of his goods and worldly estate?
A45274Is he the husband of a wife?
A45274Is he the master of a family?
A45274Is it for that there may be holy ambitions of those heights of grace, which we can never hope actually to attain?
A45274Is it the loathsome condition of our nature?
A45274It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A45274It is God that justifieth: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
A45274It is the love of Christ which thou wishest they may know, and it is that love which thou sayest is past all knowledge; What shall we say to this?
A45274Lord Jesu, who should enjoy the fruit of thine own favours but thy self?
A45274Now alas, what is our life?
A45274O grave, where is thy victory?
A45274Oh what are we in comparison of thine once glorious Angels?
A45274Satisfaction?
A45274Shall tribulation, or distresse, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sword?
A45274That which he ordained for us, shall not the holy God much more observe in his own heavenly match with his Church?
A45274To him to live is Christ, and to dye is gain; Is he dead?
A45274To this purpose Christ gives his Spirit; the soul plights her faith: What interesse have we in Christ but by his Spirit?
A45274What an infinite power hath put together, can they imagine that a limited power can disjoyn?
A45274What can we therefore fear, what can we suffer, while Christ is made our Redemption?
A45274What doe we then, weak souls tremble to think of appearing before the dreadfull tribunall of the Almighty?
A45274What is it then that can hinder us from a sweet and heavenly fruition of thee?
A45274What is it then whereby the new creature lives?
A45274What is the least of them, but a world of light?
A45274What quarrell may the pure and holy God have against righteousnesse?
A45274What ransome can be set upon it, that a man would stick to give?
A45274What raptures of spirit can be sufficient for the admiration of thy so infinite mercy?
A45274What strangers are they to that grace they oppugn?
A45274What we had not, thou gavest; what thou didst not find, thou madest; that we might be a not- unmeet match for the Lord of life: Is it want of beauty?
A45274Wherefore hath God given to men the tongue of the learned, but that they might know to speak a word in season to him that is weary?
A45274Who can be capable to love us but men or Angels?
A45274With what comfortable assurance shall I look upon the face of that mercifull Justice which thou hast satisfied?
A45274Woe is me, into how many thousand pieces is the seamlesse coat of our Saviour rent?
A45274Wouldst tho ● therefore, my son, finde true and sol ● d comfort in the hour of temptation, in the agony of death?
A45274Yea were we not sinfull, how were we capable of his justification?
A45274Yea, how readily do we expose our dear lims, not to hazard only, but to losse for the preservation of it?
A45274Yea, into what numberlesse atomes is the precious body of Christ torn and minced?
A45274against his own righteousnesse?
A45274all of them claiming Christ for theirs, and denying him to their gain- sayers; would he not ask, Is Christ multiplied?
A45274and beneficiall to men; and can they look upon themselves, as some withered bough fit only for the fire?
A45274and if we give way to these infinite distractions, where is the communion of Saints?
A45274and in this mutuall fruition, what can there be other then perfect blessedness?
A45274and such are we made in, and by him: what can now stand between us and blessednesse?
A45274and what are all of them, but a confluence of so many thousand worlds of beauty and brightnesse met in one firmament?
A45274and who can be otherwise affected that knowes and feels the infinite happinesse that offers it self to be enjoyed by him in the Lord Jesus?
A45274art thou not ashamed to think, how little sense thou hast had of thy great happinesse?
A45274but that thou wouldst love man, because thou wouldst?
A45274can they suppose that which by way of type was done in the earthly Paradise, to be really undone in the heavenly?
A45274fetch it from his Soveraignty; Wouldst thou have redemption?
A45274fetch it from his bloud; Mortification?
A45274fetch it from his crosse?
A45274fetch it from his grave; Newnesse of life?
A45274fetch it from his intercession; Wouldst thou have salvation?
A45274fetch it from his passion; Wouldst thou have absolution?
A45274fetch it from his perfect innocence?
A45274fetch it from his purchase; Audience in all thy suits?
A45274fetch it from his resurrection; Right to heaven?
A45274fetch it from his sacrifice; Cleansing from sin?
A45274fetch it from his session at the right hand of Majesty: Wouldst thou have all?
A45274fetch them from his anointing; Wouldst thou have power against spirituall enemies?
A45274he comforts himself in the conscience of a better treasure that can never be lost; Is he afflicted with sicknesse?
A45274he knows he is on his way home- ward; Is he imprisoned?
A45274his comfort is that the inward man is so much more renued daily, as the outward perisheth: Is he slandered and unjustly disgraced?
A45274his comfort is that there is a blessing, which will more then make him amends; Is he banished?
A45274his spirit can not be lockt in; God and his Angels can not be lockt out; Is he dying?
A45274how easily should I be rob''d of thee with every temptation?
A45274how entire must thou needs be with him, how dear must thy valuations be of him, how heartily must thou be devoted to him?
A45274how had I crucified thee the Lord of life?
A45274how much more reason hath her heart to be wholly ravished with both thine, which are so full of grace and amiablenesse?
A45274how shall the weak eyes of sinfull flesh ever be able to reach unto it?
A45274how should I be made the scorn and insultation of men and devils?
A45274how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
A45274perishing under our hand in the very use of them, and in the mean while how unsatisfying in the fruition?
A45274questions, Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
A45274since thou wouldst come down to our earth, why wouldst thou not enjoy the best entertainment that the earth could yeeld thee?
A45274that can see the invisible, and secretly enjoy that Saviour, to whom he is spiritually united?
A45274that hath his heart in heaven, whiles his living carkasse is stirring here upon earth?
A45274that they should bear me in their arms, that they should shield me with their protection?
A45274thee, who hast the keyes of hell, and of death, lying sealed up in another mans grave: Oh Saviour, whither hath thy love to mankinde carryed thee?
A45274though thousands of rams, or ten thousand rivers of oyle?
A45274thy precepts, thine examples, that so I may live thee, as well as preach thee?
A45274what a marvellous and happy exchange is here?
A45274what a world do we meet with of those, who mis- call themselves severall Religions, indeed severall professions of one and the same Christianity?
A45274what anguish of souls that would, and can not die?
A45274what confusion?
A45274what darknesse?
A45274what dreadfull horror is here?
A45274what everlasting burnings?
A45274what exquisitenesse, what infinitenesse of pains that can not, yet must be endured?
A45274what howling, and yelling, and shrieking, and gnashing?
A45274what interesse hath Christ in us but by our faith?
A45274what is become of Christianity?
A45274what mercilesse fury of unweariable tormentors?
A45274what never slaking tortures?
A45274what room can there be now here for onr diffidence?
A45274what sighs, and groans, and tears and bloud, hast thou spent upon us wretched men?
A45274what utter despair of any possibility of release?
A45274whence?
A45274who but thou( who art infinite in goodnesse) would love that which is not?
A45274who is offended, and I burn not?
A45274why should I, how can I be any otherwise, any whit lesse affected, O Saviour?
A45274would he be thus disposed as I now feel my self?
A45274would he speak these words that I am now uttering?
A04168& c. Behold the Lord God will help me: who is he that shall condemne mee?]
A04168And againe verse 33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A04168And many of the people beleeved on him, and said, when Christ commeth, will he doe more miracles then these, which this man hath done?
A04168And many of them said, He hath a devill, and is mad: why heare ye him?
A04168And the Lord said unto Satan, whence commest thou?
A04168And the people spake against God, and against Moses, saying, Wherefore have yee brought us out of Aegypt to die in the wildernesse?
A04168And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we shall say from heaven, he will say unto us, why did yee not then beleeve him?
A04168And what is now left, but that it utterly sink, and wee all perish?
A04168And what reason or pretence had they not to trust so still?
A04168And what was it then that gave occasion to this peculiar forme of speech, or made the use of it so familiar and frequent?
A04168And when hee had thus spoken, one of the Officers which stood by, struck Jesus with the palme of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high Priest so?
A04168And wilt thou suffer thy Spouse, for whose sake all things were made, thus by continuall discords to perish& go to wrack?
A04168At the raising of Lazarus from the dead he wept and groaned: what was the reason?
A04168Behold the Lord God will help mee: who is hee that shall condemne mee?
A04168Behold, now yee have heard his blaspemy: what think yee?
A04168But could hee not have thus advanced us without any depression or humiliation of himself?
A04168But did not this God of mercy and consolation infallibly know that Abraham would be ready to doe all that hee commanded him to doe?
A04168But did this manifestation declare, or manifest his purpose to dissolve or destroy the works of the Devill?
A04168But how did hee dissolve or prevent them, by taking them upon him?
A04168But how doth this peculiar service of his fit our servitude unto sinne?
A04168But how more than Conquerers in these which are in themselves evill& distastfull to our nature?
A04168But how was hee at that time( though unwittingly) so acknowledged by the multitude?
A04168But how was this fulfilled in him?
A04168But is sinne in man in deed and truth the work of Satan?
A04168But lo, hee speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him: Do the Rulers know indeed, that this is the very Christ?
A04168But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
A04168But some will demand in what part of Moses writings this was foretold or prefigured?
A04168But was the Sonne of God thus smitten?
A04168But was the maner of his dying,( which was somewhat more fearefull, then Ahitophels) any where else foretold?
A04168But was there no more then a tentation or tryall of Abrahams faith in that story of Moses, Gen. 22?
A04168But what bee the rest of those works besides this?
A04168But what of all this?
A04168But what speciall reference had the same feast of Tabernacles unto the solemnity of the Passeover?
A04168But where doth the most ancient vulgar Translator make any such intersertion of names into the body of Moses his writings?
A04168By expresse testimony, Isaiah 53.1, 2, 3. Who hath beleeved our report, and to whom is the arme of the Lord revealed?
A04168Can a devill open the eyes of the blind?
A04168Dixissetque ei Antoninus, Cur mater Dei comparatur abaco, curve dicit, eam a dextra Dei plantatam?
A04168Father,( not Lord God) what shall I say?
A04168For upon this interrogatory, Art thou the Christ?
A04168For what correspondencie or conveniency can there bee betweene the Serpent, and the womans seed?
A04168For what glory is it, if when yee bee buffeted for your faults, yee shall take it patiently?
A04168For what then did hee at this time so earnestly pray?
A04168For when Iobs wife did seeke to misperswade him, Dost thou still retaine thy integrity?
A04168Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that hee hath on everie side?
A04168Hast thou considered my servant Iob, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evill?
A04168Hath not the Scripture said, that Christ commeth of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethleem, where David was?
A04168Hee is neere, that justifieth me, who will contend with me?
A04168His Disciples say unto him, Master, the Iews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither againe?
A04168How is this proved, or whence had our Apostle himself this revelation?
A04168How long will yee judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked?
A04168How then is he said to have loved cursing?
A04168How then was it meant of him?
A04168How then were the Psalmists words punctually verified of him; He loved cursing: he delighted not in blessing?
A04168Hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the Sabbath day loose his Oxe or his Asse from the stall, and leade him away to the water?
A04168Iesus answered them, many good works have I shewed from my Father: for which of these works do ye stone mee?
A04168Iesus answered, Are there not twelve houres in the day?
A04168If David then call him Lord, how is he his Sonne?
A04168If God be for us, who can be against us?
A04168If all things were made by him, what could be left for Satan to work or make?
A04168If he were ignorant how dearely his future sufferings would cost him, why did hee undertake to make satisfaction for our sinnes by them?
A04168Is my hand shortned at all, that it can not redeeme?
A04168It is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth?
A04168It was a deadly cup as all agree; but of what death?
A04168Iudas in like sort goeth to the high Priests, and asked of them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?
A04168Let us stand together: who is mine adversary?
A04168Loe, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheepe what have they done?
A04168Malósne spiritus seditionis authores atque administros, in ditione tua sine ulla reprehensione ita regnare permittes?
A04168My God, my God why hast thou forsaken mee?
A04168My God, my God why hast thou forsaken mee?
A04168Now is my soule troubled, and what shall I say?
A04168Now is my soule troubled, and what shall I say?
A04168Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, Men and Brethren, what shall we doe?
A04168Or have I no power to deliver?
A04168Or when did he first become a servant?
A04168Or which of my Creditors is it, to whom I have sold you?
A04168Or,[ whether the Son of God could have brought us sinners unto glory by any other way, or meanes than that which is revealed unto us in his Gospel?]
A04168Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
A04168Psalme, While the Pharisees( saith S. Matthew) were gathered together, Iesus asked them, saying, What think ye of Christ?
A04168Put up thy sword into the sheath: the Cup which my Father gives mee, shall I not drink it?
A04168Quid autem nunc restat, nisi ut prorsum submergatur, omnesque nos pereamus?
A04168Quid est servitus, nisi obedientia animi fracti,& arbitrio carentis suo?
A04168Remember I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent?
A04168S. Matthew relateth the same story, in the same order, and circumstance of time, onely with this variation in words, Eli, Eli lamasabacthani?
A04168Satan would not beleeve the Lords commendations of this righteous man: for hee answered the Lord, and said, Deth Iob feare God for naught?
A04168Shall we attempt to foreshadow light by darknesse?
A04168Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evill?
A04168Shall wee say then that the brazen Serpent was a true picture or type of Christ?
A04168Shalt thou not turne the wicked mens evills into thy Churches good?
A04168Shalt thou not with thy heavenly policy turne our folly into thy glory?
A04168Shalt thou suffer the strong Captaine of mischief, whom thou once overthrewest, againe to invade thy tents and to spoile thy souldiers?
A04168Shalt thou suffer the wicked spirits, which bee authors and workers of discord, to beare such a swinge in thy Kingdome unchecked?
A04168Some of them of Ierusalem said, Is not this he whom they seeke to kill?
A04168The high Priest asked Iesus of his Disciples and of his doctrine: Iesus answered, I spake openly to the world,& c. Why askest thou me?
A04168The high Priest said unto him, Answerest thou nothing?
A04168The question is what Cup this was, whose removall hee desired?
A04168Then asked hee them againe, Whom seeke yee?
A04168Then came the Iews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us doubt?
A04168Then said they all, Art thou then the Sonne of God?
A04168Then the high Priest rent his clothes, saying, Hee hath spoken blasphemie: what further need have wee of witnesses?
A04168What shall I say?
A04168What then bee the speciall inconveniencies, wherewith their opinions are charged which make sinne either nothing, or but a meere privation?
A04168What then could move so many of them to embrace, or rather not to disclaime these roving collections?
A04168What then had the Sonne of God to give by way of satisfaction unto God the Father, or to the holy Ghost, which was so his owne, as it was not theirs?
A04168What?
A04168When Christ commeth( saith the people) in the feast of Tabernacles, will he doe more miracles then this man hath done?
A04168When Iesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman?
A04168Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the world,& c. or when the morning starres sang together, and all the sonnes of God shouted for joy?
A04168Wherefore when I came, was there no man; When I called, was there none to answer?
A04168Wherein then did the state, or condition of a servant, which he tooke upon him formally consist?
A04168Wherein then, I beseech thee, did I offend, unlesse it were in foreseeing or foretelling, that in time it would repent thee of thy forward resolution?
A04168Whether he first said, I am a thirst, and then cried out with a loud voice, My God, My God why hast thou forsaken mee?
A04168Which of the Prophets have not your fathers persecuted?
A04168Who art thou O great mountaine?
A04168Who did grone, and he was not troubled in spirit; who did sigh, and hee was not sad in heart?
A04168Whose Sonne is he?
A04168Why did hee not repeat that part of this Psalme,[ They pierced my hands and my feet,] when they first nailed him unto the Crosse?
A04168Why do the Heathens rage, and the people imagina vaine thing?
A04168Why have ye not brought him?
A04168Why rather like this tree, then any other?
A04168Why then did he command him to sacrifice his only son Isaac?
A04168Yet saith the Apostle of himselfe, and he said it without hypocrisie, without boasting, Who is weak, and I am not weak?
A04168[ Hee is neere that justifieth me: who will contend with me?
A04168an non divinâ sapientiâ tuâ nostram stultitiam in gloriam tuā convertes?
A04168an non malorum improbitatem in Ecclesiae tuae bonum commutabis?
A04168and ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, loe, eighteene yeares, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?
A04168could not we sonnes of men be made happy without the misery and sorow of the Son of God?
A04168death of body onely, or of soule?
A04168from heaven, or of men?
A04168from the first moment of his birth or conception?
A04168naturall, or supernaturall?
A04168or make a league betwixt Christ, and Beliall?
A04168or where were the righteous cut off?
A04168or why not the 18. verse, They parted my garments,& c. at that instant, wherein the Souldiers cast lots, whose his vesture should bee?
A04168potentemnè illum iniquitatis ducem, quem semel dejeceras, castra invadere& milites tuos spoliare sines?
A04168then like the Oake or Cedar?
A04168what is it which these witnesse against thee?
A04168who is offended, and I burne not?
A5370716, 17, 18. but how?
A537072. Who can declare what a glory it will be in us to behold this Glory of Christ?
A537072?
A537079. Who is wise, and he shall understand these things?
A53707ALL Unbelievers do in their Heart call Christ Iohabod; Where is the Glory?
A53707AND may we not a little examine our selves by these things?
A53707All men indeed think themselves fit enough for Glory( what should hinder them?)
A53707All others are laid under a severe Interdict, under what pretence soever they may be used, Who hath required these things at your hands?
A53707An account why you do all or any of these things?
A53707And hath not God given severe Rebukes unto many of us in their fearful miscarriages?
A53707And how excellent then is that glory of Christ it self?
A53707And if it were so in the Type, what is it in the Truth, Substance and Reality of it?
A53707And is it not our Duty to live in a continual desire of that which he prayed so earnestly that we might attain?
A53707And the Psalmist, How long Lord wilt thou hide thy self for ever?
A53707And we may enquire, what was this Glory of Christ, which they so saw, and by what means they obtained a prospect of it?
A53707And what are they, any, or all of them, in themselves, or unto us, considering our Condition, and the end for which we were made?
A53707And what is the Effect of it upon those blessed Souls?
A53707And what shall we fear in the Will of Christ as unto this end?
A53707And would we have our souls recovered from these dangerous diseases?
A53707Are not all things filled with the fruits of the negligence of such Professors in the Instruction of their Children and Servants?
A53707Are not these the things which all th ● World of Jews and Gentiles stumbled and took Offence at?
A53707Are our Minds every day conversant with Thoughts hereof?
A53707Are they in us, and do abound, as the Apostle speaks?
A53707Are we bowed down under the Oppression of any Spiritual Adversary?
A53707Are we fat and flourishing in these things even in old Age?
A53707Are we or any of us burdened with a Sense of Sin?
A53707Are we perplexed with Temptations?
A53707Are we strangers unto the heavenly visits of consolation and joys, those visitations of God whereby he preserves our souls?
A53707Are we then any of us under Convictions of Spiritual Decays?
A53707BUT the Enquiry is as before; How shall we have a view of this Love, of God as Love?
A53707But as Job speaks, Where shall this Wisdom be found, and what is the place of understanding?
A53707But he who hath obtained a View of the Glory of Christ, will in the midst of them all say, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A53707But how incomparable with respect hereunto is that Condescention of Christ, whereof we have given an Account?
A53707But the Question is, How me may attain it?
A53707But the enquiry is, in what way, or by what means, we may obtain the supplies and communications of him unto this end?
A53707But this seems somewhat strange unto Reason; where is the Justice, where is the Equity, that the just should suffer for the unjust?
A53707But what can we see herein?
A53707By what way or means shall we behold the Glory of it?
A53707CONSIDER therefore his Infinite Condescention, Grace, and Love herein: Why all this towards you?
A53707Can not he be happy and blessed without you?
A53707Can we by searching, find out God?
A53707Can we find out the Almighty to perfection?
A53707Can you give a reason of this hope that is in you?
A53707Can your Hearts endure, or can your hands be strong in the day of Wrath that is approaching?
A53707Commonly they issue in a groan or a sigh; Oh when shall we come unto him?
A53707DO any of us find decays in Grace prevailing in us; deadness, coldness, lukewarmness, a kind of Spiritual Stupidity and senseless coming upon us?
A53707Did you love him first?
A53707Do not Pride, Selfishness, Worldliness, Levity of Attire, and Vanity of Life, with corrupt unsavoury Communication, abound among many?
A53707Do we bring forth the fruit of them so as to show the Faithfulness of God in his supply of Grace?
A53707Do we esteem this pressing towards the perfect view of the Glory of Christ to be our Duty, and do we abide in the performance of it?
A53707Do we expect, do we desire the same State of Blessedness?
A53707Do we find an unreadiness unto the exercise of Grace in its proper season, and the vigorous actings of it in Duties of Communion with God?
A53707Do we find our selves lifeless in the spiritual duties of Religion?
A53707Do we look upon it, as that which is without us and above us, as that which we shall have time enough to consider when we come to Heaven?
A53707Do we not abide, yea, abound in the Duties of his Service?
A53707Do we on any of these accounts walk in Darkness and have no Light?
A53707Do we see him as the Image of the invisible God, representing him, his Nature, Properties, and Will unto us?
A53707Do we see the Father in him, or by seeing of him?
A53707Do we seldom enjoy a sense of the shedding abroad of his love in our hearts by the holy Ghost?
A53707Do we sufficiently consider, that the immediate Vision of this Glory in Heaven will be our everlasting Blessedness?
A53707Doth it not change them into the same Image, or make them like unto Christ?
A53707Doth it not fill and satiate them with Joy, Rest Delight, Complacency and ineffable Satisfaction?
A53707Doth the imperfect View which we have of it here, encrease our Desires after the perfect Soght of it above?
A53707Examine your selves whether you be in the Faith: Prove your own selves: know you not your own selves that Christ is in you, except you be reprobates?
A53707For if one Man sin against another, the Judge shall judge herein; but if a Man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him?
A53707For what are the things wherein we are to deny our selves, or forgo what we pretend to have a Right unto?
A53707For what should beget such a Desire in them?
A53707For who can declare this glory of Christ?
A53707For who in the Heavens can be compared unto the Lord?
A53707HAVE you in the way of your Profession had any Experience of these Spiritual Decays?
A53707HOW do Men for the most part exercise their Minds?
A53707HOW glorious then is the Condescention of the Son of God in his Susception of the Office of Mediation?
A53707Hath he any Design upon you, that he is so earnest in calling you unto him?
A53707Hath not God made foolish the Wisdom of this World?
A53707Have they under all Tryals and Surprizals been quickly composed by them?
A53707Have this Peace and Joy been maintained and born sway in your Minds?
A53707Have we not been weary of God, untill we have abundant cause to be weary of our selves?
A53707Have you deserved it at his hands?
A53707He asketh that Question concerning his Church, What will ye see in the Shulamite?
A53707How are the Souls of Believers ravished with the views of them?
A53707How blind herein was the best Philosopher in comparison of the meanest of the Apostles, yea, of him who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven?
A53707How do we behold it?
A53707How imperfect are our Conceptions of him?
A53707How much more abominable is the folly of men, who would represent the Lord Christ in his present Glory by Pictures and Images of him?
A53707How much more should we prize that view of it, which we may have with open face, tho''yet as in a glass?
A53707How unsearchable are his Judgments, and his Ways past finding out?
A53707How weak are our Minds in their Management?
A53707I speak of them, whose minds are better disposed towards heavenly things; and unto them I say, Wherefore do you love Jesus Christ?
A53707IS Christ then thus glorious in our Eyes?
A53707IT may then be said, what did the Lord Christ in this Condescention, with respect unto his Divine Nature?
A53707IT was a priviledge( who would not have longed to partake of it?)
A53707If thou sinnest, what dost thou against him?
A53707If what we do be not enough, what is it that you require more of us?
A53707In particular, is not the Duty of Family Prayer neglected by many, at least as to it''s constancy and fervency?
A53707In them are represented unto us the desirable beauties and glories of Christ; how precious, how amiable is he as represented in them?
A53707Is it because there is no God in Israel that these Applications are made unto the Idol of Ekron?
A53707Is it not he, who in this World was poor, despised, persecuted and slain, all for our Sakes?
A53707Is it not herein, that they behold and see the Glory of God in Christ?
A53707Is it not the same Jesus who loved us, and gave himself for us, and washed us in his own Blood?
A53707Is it not, that God is in him, and he is the great representative of his Glory unto us?
A53707Is it nothing unto you to continue Strangers from and uninterested in all this Glory?
A53707Is not the Cause of it, that we are unspiritual or carnal, having our Thoughts and Affections wonted to give Entertainment unto other things?
A53707It is a rare thing that any one shall as much as say unto himself, Is it so with me?
A53707MAY not God say of many of us, what he said of his People of old; Thou hast been weary of me, O Israel?
A53707Many say, who will shew us any good?
A53707ON the account hereof we may say at present, How little a portion is it that we know of him?
A53707Of all that the Devil shewed our Saviour from the Mount?
A53707Oh the blindness, the darkness, the folly of poor sinners?
A53707Or are you not rather on all Occasions uneasie and perplexed?
A53707Or do we think our selves not much concerned herein?
A53707Ought not Christ to suffer, and to enter into his Glory?
A53707SO the Apostle expresseth this Truth; Where is the Wise?
A53707SOME do say on such Exhortations: What is it that you would have us to do?
A53707SOME it may be will say, What then shall we do?
A53707Shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A53707Shall I give my First- born for my Transgressions, the Fruit of my Body for the Sin of my Soul?
A53707Shall it dismiss them all unpunished?
A53707THIS therefore we are to enquire into: Doth it abide in us as formerly?
A53707That can say, My heart is pure, I am clean from this sin?
A53707That there is no Glory, no desirableness in Christ for Men to enquire after, and fix their Minds upon?
A53707The Watch- men that go about the City found me, to whom I said, saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
A53707The most, I presume will be ready with them in Malachi, to say, How, or wherein have we been weary of God?
A53707The only enquiry is by what way and means we do receive them?
A53707They saw the Glory of his Person and his Office in the Administration of Grace and Truth And how, or by what means did they see this Glory of Christ?
A53707This, faith the Wise Man, is as the shining Light; that is, the Morning Light: And wherein is it so?
A53707Those wherein he was appointed to be a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offence?
A53707To look for Life by his Death?
A53707WHAT are all the stained Glories, the fading Beauties of this World?
A53707WHAT is the World, and what are the things thereof which most men spend their Thoughts about, and fix their Affections on?
A53707Wall say, What have I to do any more with Idols?
A53707Was it not esteemed a foolish thing to look for Help and Deliverance by the Miseries of another?
A53707We hear the Word preached as much as ever; but do we do it with the same desire and Spiritual Relish as before?
A53707We may enquire, What shall we, what do we see in him?
A53707We shall behold the Glory of Christ in its Lustre and Excellency: What is this Beauty of the King of Saints?
A53707Were there any thing but Representations of Christ in the Glory of his Person and his Office?
A53707What Glory is in these things?
A53707What are all other things in comparison of the Knowledge of Christ?
A53707What are they conversant about in their Thoughts?
A53707What are they in comparison of one View of the Glory of God represented in Christ, and of the Glory of Christ as his great Representative?
A53707What can be equal unto it?
A53707What can be like it?
A53707What can be more required of us?
A53707What do I lack yet?
A53707What do we behold in him?
A53707What doth become the Justice of God to do thereon?
A53707What is Man that thou art thus mindful of him, and the Son of Man that thou visitest him?
A53707What is become of the Beauty, of the Glory of that Image of God wherein thou wast created?
A53707What is his Design in this incomprehensible Work of his Wisdom, Love and Power?
A53707What is it that any Man in distress, who flies thereunto may look for in a Sanctuary?
A53707What is it that is required of us?
A53707What is it that we see in Christ?
A53707What is that Glory of Christ, which we do, or may behold by Faith?
A53707What is the Faith and Love which such Men profess?
A53707What is thy Beloved more than another Beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
A53707What is thy Beloved more than another Beloved, thou fairest among Women?
A53707What shall we apply our selves unto?
A53707What shall we say unto these things?
A53707What was the High- Priest in all his Vestments and Administrations?
A53707What was the Holy Place with the Utensils of it?
A53707What was the Oracle, the Ark, the Cherubims, the Mercy- Seat placed therein?
A53707What was the most whole Systeme of their Religious Worship?
A53707What were the Sacrifices, and annual sprinkling of Blood in the most Holy Place?
A53707What were the Tabernacle and Temple?
A53707What will he not do for us?
A53707When had we such a View of it as wherein our Souls have been satisfied and refreshed?
A53707When he hideth his face, who then can behold him?
A53707When wilt thou again give me to see thee, tho but as through the Windows?
A53707Where are our Hearts and Minds, if we can see no Glory in it?
A53707Where is Divine Righteousness herein?
A53707Where is the Disputer of this World?
A53707Where is the Scribe?
A53707Where then is that Justice which spared not the Angels who sinned nor Adam at the first?
A53707Wherefore do you desire to be in Heaven with him?
A53707Wherefore do you honour him?
A53707Wherefore do you trust in him?
A53707Wherein doth the Blessedness of the Saints above consist?
A53707Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A53707Who among the Sons of the mighty, can be compared unto the Lord?
A53707Who can express the Divine Beauty, Order and Harmony of all things that are in this their Recapitulation in Christ?
A53707Who can speak of these things as he ought?
A53707Who hath ascended up into Heaven, or descended?
A53707Who hath bound the waters in a garment?
A53707Who hath established all the ends of the earth?
A53707Who hath gathered the wind in his fist?
A53707Who hath known thy Mind, or who hath been thy Councellor?
A53707Who is it that can justifie himself herein?
A53707Who is it that is entangled with Corruptions and Temptations, that groans under a sense of a cold lifeless barren frame of Heart?
A53707Who is it that is thus exalted over all?
A53707Who is it that sits down at the Right Hand of the Majesty on high, all his Enemies being made his Foot- stool?
A53707Who is thus encompassed with Glory, Majesty, and Power?
A53707Who will give and help us to attain so much in and of this World, as will give Rest and Satisfaction unto our Minds?
A53707Whom do they despise, and for what?
A53707Why will ye dye?
A53707Will he not be a Sanctuary unto us?
A53707Will he not do all for us we stand in need of, that we may be eternally saved?
A53707Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A53707Would this procedure have any consonancy thereunto, be reconcilable unto it?
A53707and if thy Transgressions are multiplied, what dost thou unto him?
A53707and that hereon he endeavours to be like unto him, what shall we have to oppose thereunto?
A53707doth he stand in need of you?
A53707how will they find themselves deceived in the Issue?
A53707prudent, and he shall know them?
A53707to preferr present Trifles before the Blessedness or Misery of an Immortal State?
A53707was this the way and manner of the Saints of old, of those that went before us in the same Profession?
A53707when shall we be ever with him?
A53707when shall we see him as he is?
A53707wherein are we to blame?
A53707why will ye perish?
A53707why will you not have compassion on your own Souls?
A1541919. the text is, will yee pellute me among my people( for handfuls of barlie, and pe ● ces of bread?)
A154192. b. p. 127. Who euer heard such a forgetfull and wilfull man?
A154192. b. p. 196. Who but this blinde archer would shoote such blinde bolts?
A1541924. he loosed the sorrowes of hell: as the Latine interpreter readeth: doth he also say, that these are blasphemous speeches?
A154193. b. p. 101. wherein, how vnmannerly hee vseth so reuerend a man, who seeth not?
A154193. b. p. 143. how could therebe a perfect redemption vpon the crosse, without a perfect freedome?
A154193. b. p. 26. whereas the Geneua translators read thus; in the graue who shall praise thee?
A1541936. if for Christ to be made iust, be Arrianisme; then also to be made holy?
A154196. Who shall giue thee thankes in the pit?
A15419Am I become your enemie speaking the truth?
A15419And I pray you, who doth so?
A15419And are all sound writers, and good Christians of his opinion?
A15419And are these speeches, to make request to Christ, as man, and as the Messiah, contrarie?
A15419And doth he count it also blasphemous, to say that Christ suffered the inward afflictions of his soule?
A15419And doth not the descending of Christ to the crosse and graue, include also, and imply his descending to the earth?
A15419And how proue you, that Augustine is against the Replyer in the place alleadged?
A15419And in diuers other places he laieth this grieuous imputation: whereas the Replyer directly saith, Who denieth the article of Christs discension?
A15419And is it indeede vnlearnedly translated preacheth?
A15419And is it not sufficient if one Euangelist haue those words?
A15419And this Bernard sheweth, by the words following; nunquid amplius potuit?
A15419And what calleth hee a personall descension?
A15419And what is this else( Sir Grammarian) but in a shorter phrase, to be kept?
A15419And what though he make other endes of Christs descension?
A15419And where doth the Replyer charge him so to say directly?
A15419And whereas the Replyer saith, be it admitted that these particles doe inferre a distinction in the sentence,& c. doth he reuoke any thing?
A15419And why might not these words be spared, seeing sufficient was alleadged before for proofe of that difference?
A15419And will he needs haue it englished, kept in bondage?
A15419As though there be not many more places pregnant in Scripture, to prooue the immortalitie of the soule?
A15419Behold how farre he descended, could he doe any more?
A15419But is hee sure the author mistooke it?
A15419But to the hell of the damned he will not thrust him, where els was he then in Limbo?
A15419But what did he meane himselfe, in reciting of that sentence, to leaue out this whole clause?
A15419But what meaneth himselfe to corrupt Augustine by a false translation?
A15419But who is he that checketh superiours for euery priuate difference in opinion?
A15419Call you this patching, to put two verses of Scripture together?
A15419Could he make no difference betweene a Rhetoricall imitation of an authors sentence, and a logicall allegation of his testimonie?
A15419Did he thinke, that his vntrue surmises and fraudulent accusations would neuer come to be examined?
A15419Doth he count these the doctrines of the Church, which are directly opposite to the articles of religion established?
A15419Doth he not manifestly affirme, that sheol is here taken for the graue, and therefore findeth fault with his aduersarie, for there reading hell?
A15419Doth he thinke also Augustine an insolent man therein, who often hath relation to other of his workes?
A15419Doth it not now appeare that Augustine indifferently taketh the spirit here, either for the diuine nature of Christ; or for the holy Ghost?
A15419He therefore that speaketh the truth, reuileth not, as Hierome well saith, vsing those words of the Apostle: inimicus factus sum tibi vera dicens?
A15419Here are three vntruths couched together: for what Christian denieth any article of the Creede?
A15419I pray you( Sir Controller) which of these two words in your Grammer learning signifieth soule?
A15419If he hold the hypostaticall vnion of Christs soule and bodie with his Godhead, why doth he in words diuide them?
A15419If the Replyer speaketh of it, how then doth he dissemble it?
A15419If this be Arrianisme?
A15419Is Caluin in his base opinion no bodie?
A15419Is he not ashamed now to crie out, that his words are misreported?
A15419Is he not now a wise man, that reprooueth another for speaking in his owne words?
A15419Is it lawfull for him to haue recourse vnto the Hebrew writers, and a fault in the other to runne vnto the Hebrew Scriptures?
A15419Is it not euident by these words, that the Replyer chargeth the Refuter by a disiunctiue speech, that either he must say so, or he doth but trifle?
A15419Is this any imperiousnes or saucines to preferre the Originall before all other translations?
A15419Is this vtterly to condemne allegories?
A15419Now this false accuser of falsification, what hath hee gained, but the reproach of a false witnesse?
A15419The Replyers words stand thus: doth he thinke, that these disobedient spirits were in hell, and are not?
A15419The disgracefull Confuter thus insulteth; Where doth Augustine expound Christs ascending vp to heauen, of his diuine power?
A15419The question beeing demanded, why the soule may not be taken for his( that is Christs) whole person, as well as holy is vnderstood to be his flesh?
A15419These honours were due vnto him in deede as God, for who denieth that?
A15419Thinketh hee, that they euen in earth felt not the true ioyes of heauen, though not so fully as they enioy it now?
A15419This assumption, seeing he denieth, what els can be his opinion, but that Christ redeemed and deliuered some in hell by his descending thither?
A15419This cavillous and friuolous obiecter, sheweth, it should bee read rather thus; who shall giue thee thanks in the pit?
A15419Though mine aduersarie should write a booke against me, would I not take it vpon my shoulder, and binde it as a crowne vnto me?
A15419What a shame is it for a man so vtterly ignorant in the languages, to take vpon him to controll others, beeing more blameable himselfe?
A15419What a strange paradox is this?
A15419What an absurd collection is this?
A15419What an vnsauourie fellow now is this?
A15419What boldnesse is this, to set downe such peremptorie negatiues, as though he had himselfe runne ouer all writers, both new& olde?
A15419What fault can this quarrel- picker finde with these words?
A15419What immodest dealing then is this, to alleadge Beza, as expounding this place, not of sinnes secretly, but openly done?
A15419What now will this vaine man be ashamed to denie?
A15419What shamefull dealing is this, thus without any conscience to detort and depraue the Repliers words?
A15419What strange speeches are these?
A15419What will not now this malitious Accuser dare to say, obiecting things as contrarie to truth, as darknes is to light?
A15419Who seeth not, how shamelesse this Cauiller is, to charge the Replyer to affirme that, the contrarie whereof he maintaineth?
A15419Who seeth not, that the sentence hauing no distinction comming betweene, will beare both these translations?
A15419Who would denie this consequent but he?
A15419Will not any man thinke that he was well ouerseene here?
A15419and againe, Quid refert, si causa cadis,& crimine superes?
A15419and is it not lawfull, what is wanting in one, to supplie out of an other?
A15419are the manhoode of Christ, and the person of the Messiah contrarie?
A15419doth not likewise the Replyer, in propounding his obiection, ioyne both his crosse, and passion, and his descending to hell together?
A15419for whereas he whome he confuteth, readeth that place thus; In hell, who shall praise thee?
A15419hath, if the Apostle had treated of Christs descensiō, before his resurrection: is this such a foule error?
A15419how many merriments vse to bee in letters, which seeme foolish, if they bee vttered?
A15419how many serious things, that are no waies to bee published?
A15419how say you,( Sir Medler) speake out, is it not?
A15419is there in them any contrarietie at all?
A15419p. 125. whereas the Replyer doth protest, that he neuer yet read, or so much as sawe Carliles booke: but what will not euill will imagine?
A15419p. 5. is not then he ashamed to inferre the contrarie, that the Replyers words implie they are popish?
A15419quam multa seria, neque tamen divulgenda?
A15419quid hoc est aliud, quam tollere è vita vitae societatem: quam multa ioca solent esse in Epistelis, quae prolata si sint, inep ● a videntur?
A15419sheol, or hades?
A15419studio, voluntate,& quod promptus ad eam rem sit: How doth he die daily?
A15419that wee shall participate and be capable of the godhead and diuine nature, as Christ was of our humane?
A15419was this doting diuine well aduised thus to write?
A15419what doth it auaile, if you faile in the cause, and bee superiour in obiecting of crimes?
A15419what doth it helpe your wounds, if I likewi ● e be wounded?
A15419what is this 〈 ◊ 〉, but to take out of this life, the societie of the liuing?
A15419what iudgement is more seuere, then the domesticall, wherein euery one is guiltie to himselfe?
A15419what meane Logician knoweth not, that the continuance of time, is not of the essence of a thing, but a necessarie adiacent or adiunct?
A15419what shamelesse dealing is this?
A15419where the Replyer saith, wee are said to be with him as the Messiah: and doth hee not say the selfe same thing here?
A15419whereas the true reading according to the originall is this: hast thou seene the gates of the shadow of death?
A15419whether is better supplied, in those places, or in those things?
A15419who is there that would willingly erre with any?
A645292. Who is he, that in all things so warily and circumspectly keeps himself, that he never falls into any deceit or perplexity?
A645293. Who art thou that fearest a mortal Man?
A645298. Who shall remember thee when thou art Dead?
A64529ALL Men naturally desire to know; but what availeth knowledg without the fear of God?
A64529Ah fool, why dost thou think to live long, when thou canst not promise to thy self one day?
A64529And how can a life be loved that hath so many embitterments, and is subject to so many calamities and miseries?
A64529And how is it that thou dost vouchsafe to come unto a sinner?
A64529And how often have I found faith where I least expected it?
A64529And if they should say, We are in peace, no evil shall fall upon us, and who shall dare to hurt us?
A64529And if thou shouldest drive him from thee, and lose him, unto whom wilt thou flie, and what friends wilt thou then seek?
A64529And now dear Father, what shall I say?
A64529And now in these my troubles what shall I say?
A64529And unless thou didst command it, who would attempt to come unto thee?
A64529And what do all creatures avail thee, if thou be forsaken by the Creator?
A64529And what have we to do with Genus and Species, the dry notions of Logicians?
A64529And what marvel if he feel not his burden, who is born up by the Almighty, and led by the soveraign guide?
A64529And what more free, than he that desireth nothing upon Earth?
A64529And when thou hast run over all, what hast thou then profited, if thou hast neglected thy self?
A64529And whom thou delightest not, what can be pleasant to him?
A64529And why do small matters go to thy heart, but for that thou art yet carnal, and regardest Men more than thou oughtest?
A64529Are not all painful labors to be endured for everlasting life?
A64529Are not all those to be called hirelings, that ever seek comforts?
A64529But he that takes delight in sin, what marvel is it if he be afraid, both of death and judgment?
A64529But if thou dost not overcome little and easie things, how wilt thou overcome harder things?
A64529But what art thou to them that Love thee?
A64529But what shall I give unto the Lord in return of his grace, for so eminent an expression of thy love?
A64529But whence is this to me, that thou vouch- safest to come unto me?
A64529But where is this devotion?
A64529But wherein?
A64529But who am I, Lord, that I may presume to approach unto thee?
A64529But why did I not provide better for my self, miserable Wretch?
A64529Christ had Adversaries and Backbiters; and wilt thou have all men thy Friends and Benefactors?
A64529Christ would suffer and be despised; and darest thou complain of any?
A64529Did not Mary presently rise from the place where she wept, when Martha said unto her, The Master is come, and calleth for thee?
A64529Do they not shew themselves to be rather lovers of themselves than of Christ, that always think of their own commodity and gain?
A64529Dost thou think that the Men of this World suffer little or nothing?
A64529For what are words but words?
A64529For what is it to thee, whether that Man be such or no, or whether this Man do, or speak this or that?
A64529For what other Nation, is there so famous, as the Christian People?
A64529For what shall thy patience be crowned, if no adversity happen unto thee?
A64529For where is any one to be found that is indeed poor in spirit, and free from all affection of creatures?
A64529For who is he that hath all things according to his mind?
A64529For who is there, that approaching humbly unto the fountain of sweetness, doth not carry away from thence at least some little sweetness?
A64529HOw may I obtain this, O Lord, that I may find thee alone, and open my whole heart unto thee, and enjoy thee as my soul desireth?
A64529He also envieth none; because he affecteth no private good; neither will he rejoyce in himself?
A64529He desired to fly freely that said, Who will give me wings like a Dove, and I will fly and be at rest?
A64529How can I bear up my self in this miserable life, unless thou strengthen me with thy mercy and grace?
A64529How can I forget thee, that hast vouchsafed to remember me, even when I wasted away, and perished?
A64529How can he be lifted up with vain words, whose heart is truly subject to God?
A64529How canst thou look to continue ever in the same state of virtue, when an Angel in Heaven hath fallen, as also the first Man in Paradise?
A64529How dare a sinner appear before thee?
A64529How is it called a life that begetteth so many deaths and plagues?
A64529How long doth my Lord delay to come?
A64529How many have been deceived and suddenly snatcht away?
A64529How many would stay behind and remain far off, if they beheld not thy noble example?
A64529How often have I been deceived, finding want of faith where I thought it sure?
A64529How profitable hath grace been kept with silence in this mortal life, which is nothing but a temptation and a warfare?
A64529How shall I bring thee unto my House, that have so often offended thy most gracious countenance?
A64529How shall I dare to come, that know not any good in my self, whereupon I may presume?
A64529How shall I pass through them without hurt?
A64529How shall I utterly break them?
A64529If I understood all things in the world, and were not in charity, what would that help me in the sight of God, who will judg me according to my deeds?
A64529If all Men were perfect, what should we have to suffer of our neighbor for God?
A64529If now a little suffering make thee so impatient, what will hell fire do hereafter?
A64529If now thou canst endure so little, how wilt thou then be able to endure perpetual torments?
A64529If things even foreseen do oftentimes hurt us, how can things unlooked for choose but wound us grievously?
A64529If thou art not prepared to day, how wilt thou be prepared to morrow?
A64529If thou beest not careful for thy self now, who will be careful for thee hereafter?
A64529If thou dost not understand, nor conceive those things that are under thee, how shalt thou be able to comprehend those that are above thee?
A64529If thou hadst not gone before us and taught us, who would have taken care to follow?

A64529Is it not thou, my Lord God, whose mercies are without number?
A64529Is not this a greater loss, than if thou shouldest lose the whole world?
A64529Is there any thing hard to me?
A64529Let it please thee Lord, to deliver me; for, poor wretch that I am, what can I doe, and whither shall I go without thee?
A64529Lord, how often shall I resign my self; and wherein shall I forsake my self?
A64529Lord, what cause have I to complain, if thou forsake me?
A64529Lord, what trust have I in this life?
A64529O Fountain of everlasting Love, what shall I say of thee?
A64529O Lord God, when shall I be wholly united to thee, and absorpt by thee, and be altogether forgetful of my self?
A64529O if thou hadst a relishing of these things, and didst suffer them to sink into the bottom of thy heart, how durst thou so much as once to complain?
A64529O, if Jesus crucified would come into our hearts, how quickly and fully should we be instructed in all truth?

A64529Or what is the greatest comfort, that all things under Heaven do yield me?
A64529Or when could it be ill with me, when thou wert present?
A64529Or who standing by a great fire, receiveth not some small heat thereby?

A64529Shall I speak unto my Lord sith I am Dust and Ashes?
A64529Shall the clay glory against him that frameth it?
A64529Shouldst thou see all things present before thine eyes, what were it but a vain and unprofitable sight?
A64529Stars fell from Heaven, and what do I presume that am Dust?
A64529Suppose thou hast hitherto lived always in honors and delights, what would all this avail thee if thou wert to die at this instant?

A64529Thinkest thou that thou shalt always have spiritual consolations at will?
A64529Thinkest thou to escape that which no Man could ever avoid?
A64529To how many hath virtue known and over hastily commended, been hurtful?
A64529To morrow is uncertain, and how knowest thou that thou shalt live till to morrow?
A64529To whom shall I give credit, Lord?
A64529Unless thou O Lord, didst say it, who would believe it to be true?
A64529Vain Man, what canst thou complain of?
A64529WHy seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labor?

A64529What have I deserved for my sins, but Hell and everlasting fire?
A64529What have I done, O Lord, that thou shouldest bestow any Heavenly comfort upon me?
A64529What is a Man the better, for that he is esteemed great by Man?

A64529What therefore shall I unworthy sinner, dust and ashes, be able to search and comprehend of so high and sacred a mystery?

A81992and are we not beholding to their wisdome and power, that prevents such sad returns?
A81992and conclude, God is just, though the people be wicked and unthankful?
A81992and doth not this mightily commend their way?
A81992and hath not hopes of divisions interrupted it?
A81992and is it not better at home?
A81992and is it not from hence that you forget the promises of this latter age?
A81992and is it not our wisdome to have him to friend?
A81992and is it not to worke like himselfe to bring good out of evil?
A81992and may not Princes blame themselves for making the people first wicked and then rebellious?
A81992and shall they betray themselves and their posterity into slavery?
A81992and the heavens change in a moment, what worke can you make of it?
A81992and the tidings that your Vessels abroad came within sight of land, and yet were surprized, or sunk by the enemy, and so never came home?
A81992and what great cause have Saints to blesse God, when he makes Rulers nursing fathers, and to rule for him as they rule by him?
A81992and what inheritance in the son of Jesse?
A81992and what mourning when wicked ones?
A81992and will not people follow it faster then they can act?
A81992and will you complain for what your selves have brought on your selves?
A81992and yet how destroyed?
A81992and yet how few do honour him?
A81992and yet how little had we of that better peace?
A81992any of your great wise men?
A81992are there not other things that are neerer to which they may be ascribed?
A81992are you guiltlesse?
A81992are you unwilling to be happy?
A81992at home or abroad?
A81992but how little can this pretend to, without Christ?
A81992but would you feele more?
A81992by Sea or by Land?
A81992can you be content to follow them in evil, and be discontented to receive evil from them?
A81992can you finde your Oratories in the Campe?
A81992can you think to have a religious being, when it s in dispute, whether you shall have a being or no?
A81992did I ever intend they should be against me and mine?
A81992did I set them up to pride themselves in their lusts, and to oppresse those that are better then themselves?
A81992doe they not joyne with them?
A81992doe you love your weaknesse, that you run not to his power?
A81992for mispending your parts and paines, and snarling at those who reproved you?
A81992had not your selves the greatest hand in it?
A81992have not you tempted them thereto by your unjust dealing?
A81992have they lost their English blood and spirits?
A81992how many sons of B ● lial do they bring forth by their example, and multiply guiltinesse on their own accounts?
A81992how many spirits still boyle unduely?
A81992how many that are professed enemies against him?
A81992how poorely doth all their splendor resemble his glory?
A81992how ready are men to renew another Civil war?
A81992how will you deale with him that hath all power?
A81992is it not because it would not be so taking with men, and withal it would decry your skill?
A81992is not the still voyce of the Bridegroome more pleasant, then Arme, Arme, Horse, Horse, away, away ▪ they come, they come; fall on, fall on?
A81992is that the requital for all the provision and protection you have had by them?
A81992is there not something far worse?
A81992let Christ have all; bring your Lamb to him, for he is worthy: How little is your all to his?
A81992many and mighty, precious and seasonable, have been the returns of fervent, righteous, faithful prayers?
A81992must Kings serve?
A81992nay who knows this day, where the winde will be to morrow?
A81992or be subjects to a better King?
A81992or if they hold their charge, must it be with a burdened minde?
A81992or plainly thus, How are these Angels in Heaven, said to be changed?
A81992or these the Kings that made the earth to tremble?
A81992or your Christian, sweet Christian meetings in their courts of Guard?
A81992others may fall and rise; but if you fall, how hardly will your rising be?
A81992remember him that makes them so; do you receive good under them?
A81992seeing I have lost my children, who hath brought up these?
A81992shall not Christ?
A81992that Shops and Ships, Chests and Bags, should be emptied for them that will never give you thanks?
A81992that did Tyrant it over my people, that took them prisoners, and k ● pt them prisoners?
A81992though sin be evil; yet is it not good that sin have a being?
A81992to be subjected to aches, paines and diseases, and that they and their honour must part, and lie in the dust?
A81992to confirme peace with some, to break it with others?
A81992to man in what condition?
A81992was Pharaohs proud question, that I should obey his voyce?
A81992what sorry creatures will they prove, and the workings upon them as sorry as they?
A81992when they have good successe in publick enterprises, how do they sacrifice to their own nets, applauding their own wisdome and power?
A81992who are they that be in power, but men like our selves, that we rise against them?
A81992who brought you into this condition?
A81992who is able to express the greatness of it?
A81992who would not be during in sin, when he can escape free?
A81992will he say to you, Euge bone serve, Well done thou good and faithful servant?
A81992will you gratifie a malicious spirit in them?
A81992will you invite them to your own ruine?
A81992will you pluck up your fences and lay your inclosures common?
A81992will you tempt them to fling off all?
A81992will your relations blesse God for you, for your counsel, instruction, reprehension, exhortations, prayers and examples?
A81992yes, and it may be, out act them too?
A93249& can not Christ bear the infirmities of his spouse?
A9324922. on the Crosse, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A93249Again, if God owns us in his glorious condition, shall we be ashamed of the Doctrine of Christ, of the Children of God, to own them?
A93249Alas, how can I perform chearful service to God, when I doubt whether he be my God, and Father, or no?
A93249Alas, is our soul for any thing but God?
A93249All Gods severity is reducible to mercy, and Christ: all his afflictions, humiliations, and abasements, do they come from unfatherly affection?
A93249And being the spirit hath shamed thee for thy sins, what can the Devil say?
A93249And could the Father raise him, if he were not reconciled?
A93249And did not the Disciples so?
A93249And have we a Father so rich, so loving, and shall not we have intercourse with him in all our daily necessities?
A93249And how come we to be Christs Brother?
A93249And indeed, what is all without Christ?
A93249And shall not we own him, that owneth us in state of glory?
A93249And shall we blesse the Virgin Mary, as Mother of God, and not God as Father of Christ?
A93249And shall we think then to preserve respect with God, without much industry and holiness?
A93249And so God in doubtful times of danger, cryeth out, who is on my side, who?
A93249And this we should learn likewise to maintain a sweet frame between God and us; shall God open such an advantage to us?
A93249And to whom?
A93249And when doth Christ bid her go?
A93249And when we be in Christ, shall not we make use of them, when we be troubled with sense of sin, or in desperate conditions?
A93249And will Christ suffer his sister, his spouse, his Church to be abused long?
A93249Are these evidences to try whether we be Gods, or no?
A93249Are these things severed from us?
A93249As for instance, what is the ground of all the Petitions in the Lords Prayer?
A93249As he said in the Sacrament, Quid paras dentem,& ventrem, Crede,& manducasti: what dost thou prepare thy teeth and stomack for?
A93249As our Saviour saith, you that be earthly Fathers, when your Children ask such a thing, will you deny?
A93249As you have it in that place of Scripture, All things are yours, why?
A93249Beloved, what can not we expect from God, that is now becom our God?
A93249Beloved, where is the fault?
A93249Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; what?
A93249But having so much upon him, did it take away his claim of God, as his God?
A93249But how came they to be his Brethren?
A93249But how shall I doe?
A93249But how shall we know whether we be risen with Christ, or no?
A93249But may not another man, that is not in Christ, come to God under the sweet name of our Father?
A93249But put case you had the guilt of your own sins, and of many sins beside, what is that to this of Christ, who had the guilt of all sin?
A93249But the question is, whom God is a God to in the nearest bond of the covenant of grace?
A93249But who together with himself?
A93249But why doth Christ thus conceal himself in regard of his fuller manifestation?
A93249By peculiar gifts, when he gives to them, that which he giveth to none else: shall we imagine God to be our God, by common gifts, and common graces?
A93249Can a Mother forget her Child?
A93249Can a friend bear the infirmities of a friend, and a Huband of a Wife?
A93249Can a man alwayes rejoyce, if he hath not grounds why?
A93249Can a man rejoyce, that his name is written in Heaven, and not know his name is written there?
A93249Can we look Christ in the face with comfort, if we neglect his cause, his truth and his Church?
A93249Can we pitty and pardon a Child, and will not God pardon and pitty us?
A93249Death is on me, trouble, sickness, vexation of conscience is on me, and God hath forsaken me, I have no God to go to, what a miserable estate is this?
A93249Did not he leave his own Son upon the Cross, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A93249Did not the Manna stink, when gathered on the Sabbath day?
A93249Did not you ingage your selves to God in your Baptisme?
A93249Do we th ● n walk as Christ did?
A93249Doth he know our names now on earth, and giveth to every one particularly by himself, if we come worthily?
A93249Faith is wonderfully operative, especially having these promises; what promises?
A93249For persecution of enemies, was not Christs whole life fill''d up with persecution, and yet a Son?
A93249For who was more indulgent to the Disciples then Christ, who saw their weakness?
A93249For why are men so addicted to outward things, outward complements?
A93249Go to my brethren; now I come to the Commission, or Charge given to her ▪ Go to my brethren; who is the party charged?
A93249God bids us be thankful in all things, how can I know that?
A93249God will marry them in mercy; in what mercy?
A93249He doth not say, I ascend to the Father, that were no great comfort; for what were that to them?
A93249He is a Tree of righteousness, and what can come from a good Tree, but good fruit?
A93249He payd dear for it, alas, are we worth so much, that God should become man to die for us, to rise again for us, to justifie us, and make us brethren?
A93249He that dyed for his enemies, and seeks them that never sought him, that is found of them that sought him not, will he refuse them that seek him?
A93249How cometh he to be the God of peace to us, which brought us from death to life, by our Lord Jesus?
A93249How comfortable will it be to hear him say to every one in particular, Come thou, and thou, stand on my right hand, sit and judge the world with me?
A93249How shall I know therefore whether I ascend?
A93249I have fallen from God, saith the soul: what if thou hast?
A93249If God be our God and Father in Christ, why have we sins?
A93249If God be ours, then all is ours too; what be they?
A93249If God the party offended do justifie, who shall condemn?
A93249If God were not merciful to sinners, where should he have any to worship him?
A93249If all things were made up between God and us, what need of an intercessor?
A93249If he be against us, who is for us?
A93249If he be for us, who is against us?
A93249If they do good on us here on earth, if we by faith lay hold on him, and have intercourse with him, what will it be in the day of judgement?
A93249If thou be none of the Family, what hast thou to do with them?
A93249If thou hast an heart humbled, and hast a desire of favour, will he refuse thee, that receiveth many in the world?
A93249If we can not indure them here, how shall we ever live with them in Heaven?
A93249If we could keep it in us, and exercise it, could we live in any sin?
A93249If we could learn this aright to make things to come present, what kind of people should we be?
A93249If we could set Hell before us, could the pleasures of Hell bewitch us?
A93249If you aske what is Religion?
A93249In what sense is God Christs God?
A93249Is Christ ascended to Heaven, to be a mediator of intercession to appear before God; for whom?
A93249Is it in Christ?
A93249Is it not as if he should say, Mary?
A93249Is thy heartright to Christ, art not thou a false Hypocrite, a secret Traitor to Christ, and to his cause and Church?
A93249It is God that justifieth, who shall condemn?
A93249It is a good question after Christs Resurrection, what cause of weeping, when Christ is risen?
A93249It is not in our perfection, for then the poor Disciples, where had they been?
A93249It is therefore a good question to them that believe, why weepest thou?
A93249It is your Fathers good will to give you the Kingdom, what then?
A93249It was objected to that good Jehonadab: a good man, have we any thing to do with Gods enemies?
A93249Lord what is my joy, what is my hope, what is my trust, what is my comfort, is it not in thee?
A93249Lord, if I had had my due, what would have become of me?
A93249Mary: And what is her charge?
A93249Mary; and is there so much force in one word?
A93249Now besides the apparition of the Angells, here is the speech of the Angels Woman why weepest thou?
A93249Now every truth in Scripture is written for our comfort, and shall it be no more comfort to us, then to the Devils?
A93249Now how doth God shew himself a God in a peculiar respect to his Children?
A93249Now if we have joyned with a temptation, Satan will say; will you go to God, and to prayer, that have served God thus?
A93249Now, what is the foundation of this, that God is our God in the Covenant of grace?
A93249Oh but is it possible God should do it?
A93249Oh it is a judgment of judgements, to be hardned in sinful courses of life: how can it but end in desperation at length?
A93249Our Saviour Christ here saith, Mary, but when?
A93249Our sins are forgiven, because he, our head, and surety hath suffered death for us, and if Christ be risen again, why weep we?
A93249Peter denyed Christ; but did Christ deny Pete?
A93249Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
A93249Say not, who shall ascend up to Heaven?
A93249Shall a Child be always prowling for it self?
A93249Shall we attribute mercie to men, and not to God?
A93249Shall we doubt any thing of that love, when he out of his free love, will own us as brethren, shall not we own him?
A93249Tell you me, you are risen, while you carry the bonds of your sins about you?
A93249That in the sharing, and dividing of all things, God hath given himself to us, and what an offer is this?
A93249The Devils works you do, and will do; can we not take the word of the Covenant into our mouths, and shall we take the seal of the Covenant?
A93249The doubtful distrustful heart, till it be subdued by a spirit of faith, saith, who shall ascend to Heaven, to tell me whether I shall go to Heaven?
A93249The first words that ever Christ spake after his resurrection to them he appeared to, is, woman why weepest thou?
A93249Then what belongeth to him?
A93249There be many duties and dispositions that God requires, which we can not be in, without assurance of salvation on good grounds; what is that?
A93249There is none of us all, I can except none, but had need of this: have we dealt so unkindly with Christ since our conversion?
A93249Therefore rejoyce that your names are written in Heaven, and how can a man rejoyce, that knoweth it not to be so?
A93249They be very formal men, look to their outward devotion, who so devout as they?
A93249They can read at home; but is that the way God hath sanctified?
A93249They can say, they be Gods Creatures; but what a fearful condition is it` not to be able to say, God is my Father?
A93249They studied it; but what were they for the inside?
A93249This is a great indignity, though we think not of it, to doubt of our salvation, and not cast our selves on his mercy?
A93249This is our whole man, and what is all else?
A93249To what use is riches and friends, if we do not use them?
A93249To whom do I ascend?
A93249To whom must she go?
A93249VVhat dost thou come to torment us before our time?
A93249VVhat have I in Heaven but thee, and in earth in comparison of thee?
A93249Was it a claim that did him any good?
A93249We think if we commit sin, there is no hope; but what needs a Mediator, but to make peace between the parties disagreeing?
A93249What a blessed intercourse is there now, since Christs ascension, between Heaven and Earth?
A93249What are all discouragements to this?
A93249What can not we look for from that Majesty, that hath condescended to be called Father, and to be a Father to us in all our necessities?
A93249What carrieth he in him?
A93249What cometh from him?
A93249What condition were they in now, when Christ biddeth them go?
A93249What do I make my God?
A93249What do they in Heaven?
A93249What doth Jesus say to her?
A93249What have they to do with us?
A93249What if we had Paradise, if we offend God, we shall be cast out?
A93249What if we had the dignity to be Apostles, if with Judas we have not God, what will all come to?
A93249What interest have we to all the Petitions, and to every Article of the Creed, if there be not a particular application?
A93249What is it for us to make God a God to us?
A93249What is it to be a God to any?
A93249What is that to me?
A93249What is the Message?
A93249What is the reason?
A93249What lost Mary by it?
A93249What must we do then?
A93249What saith Paul?
A93249What saith our Saviour Christ to the poor Disciples, doubting of want?
A93249What saith the Lord in Jeremy, VVill the Husband take the VVife when she hath been naught?
A93249What was Christ to ascend for?
A93249What we may expect from God, being a Father?
A93249What will all be ere long?
A93249What will the fruit of a believing heart be?
A93249What?
A93249When did he speak this?
A93249When doth he bid her go?
A93249Whence is the strength of this Argument?
A93249Who art thou, will Satan say, flesh and blood a peece of earth, wretched Sot, wilt thou claim kindred of Christ?
A93249Who can take away the opposite disposition of mans nature to goodness, but God by his spirit?
A93249Who giveth us a being to be Christians, to have a new nature, to have a good being, but God?
A93249Who must go?
A93249Who observeth the influence of the Sun, or the sweet influence of the Starres upon the earth?
A93249Who raised him?
A93249Who shall descend to the deep?
A93249Who then can say our Father?
A93249Why do not Christians injoy the comforts of this, that God is their God in Christ, more then they do?
A93249Why is Christs love so constant, so invincible, that nothing can alter it?
A93249Why, no man will do it?
A93249Why?
A93249Why?
A93249Will God own a man, and not make him suitable?
A93249Will a Father cast off his Child?
A93249Will he forgive sins to day, and bring us into Court, and damn us to morrow?
A93249Will you have the first words in estate of glory, his first words after death?
A93249Woman, why weepest thou?
A93249You may aske, why they spake but one word?
A93249after his Resurrection, when he was in the state of glory: what is the Message?
A93249and have not you in your lives given your selves to lusts, which you renounced at your baptisme?
A93249and is not he willing to receive you?
A93249and not pitty to the Father of all bowels and compassion?
A93249and nothing but so?
A93249and shall not we by prayer and faith, fetch from our Father all we stand in need of?
A93249and will not he know us then?
A93249and will our hearts rest in any thing but God?
A93249as David putteth the quaere to himself: now Lord, what is my hope, is it not in thee?
A93249but to preach life to all repentent sinners?
A93249carry we the image of the second Adam?
A93249despair of mercy when we have a Father to go to?
A93249despair under the name of a Father?
A93249do we love Christ in his members, God in his Image?
A93249do we love the Ordinances, and the power of Re ● igion?
A93249do we shew by our conversation, whose Children we are?
A93249do we walk in light?
A93249doth the Scripture intend us no more comfort then the Devils?
A93249fear not little flock, he that will give you a Kingdom, will not he give you daily bread?
A93249had not some of them denyed Christ, and had they not all forsaken him?
A93249hath not God made us for himself?
A93249have not we dealt proudly, and unkindly, and carlesly with him?
A93249have we the patient, humble, meek disposition of Christ in our measure?
A93249how shall we look that he will own us hereafter, when he tru ● teth us with his cause and glory, and we betray all to pleasure such and such?
A93249if the time to come were present, could any thing in the world withdraw us?
A93249is it not for sinners?
A93249is there mercy for such a wretch?
A93249nay, will he leave his Dove, his love, his undefiled one, where he hath placed all his joy, and contentment to the malice and fury of the enemy long?
A93249or who shall enter into the deep to tell me, I am freed from hell?
A93249shall God be our Father, and bear the gracious eternal affection of a Father?
A93249shall I receive the Sacrament, and joyn with Gods people?
A93249shall I yield to this temptation?
A93249shall not I labor for a heart to yield chearful obedience, doth it not come deadly off?
A93249this sheweth what we are, and is our conversation sutable to our inward disposition?
A93249to go to the Apostles under the sweet tearm of brethren; When doth he call them so?
A93249to what use is God and Christ, if we use them not?
A93249unless I know God is mine, and Christ is mine, can I be thankful for that which I doubt of, and think I ought to doubt of?
A93249was it a useful claim?
A93249what hast thou to do with me?
A93249what hath lust and filthiness?
A93249what hath pride to do with a heart bequeathed to God?
A93249what have they to do with God?
A93249what is the end of his ascension?
A93249what saith Christ?
A93249what then is the peculiar gift, and love- token that God bestowes upon his favorites?
A93249what work is there in Heaven for a mediator, if we were not daily sinners?
A93249when Christ calleth us brother, shall not we answer, I am thy brother?
A93249who can shine into the soul, and quicken the soul, but Christ by his spirit?
A93249who is above the heart and conscience, but Christ by his spirit?
A93249who maintaineth and preserveth that being, but God?
A93249whom seekest thou?
A93249whom seekest thou?
A93249why persecuted with men?
A93249why should we conceive worse of him then of our selves?
A93249why streightned thus and thus and thus?
A93249why then should we love vanity, and besot our selves?
A93249why vexed with the Devil?
A93249why?
A93249will God take his friend, and not give him a friendly nature?
A93249will we give pitty to a Father?
A93249yea, he offereth himself to be thy God, if thou wilt come in: wherefore serveth our Ministry, the word of grace?
A93249you know Jehu cried out, who is on my side, who?
A64772( Which whether part in sulphurd cavernes glowes, Or at the Poles part Frozen hard, who knowes?)
A64772A Priest to Mediate, Preach, and Sacrifice: A King to Raigne, a Judge to Punish vice?"

A64249For what had the Israelites deliverance, victory, lives been worth in the wildernesse without food and Manna, which kept them in life and strength?
A64249For what have they to doe with the seales, that are excluded the writing?
A64249For what is amiable in the wilde olive?

A64249Hath he promised thee the heavenly Canaan?
A64249His enemies asked, whence hath he all this great learning?

A64249How can the Egyptians hope to stand before Israel, to whom the waters give way so strangely?
A64249How can the eye look off the signet on the arme?
A64249How comes it that we do not hear drunkards, adulterers, theeves, swearers, blasphemers, so rated and disgraced as them?
A64249How could Abraham have believed the promise of a son by Sarah, had he looked to natural reason?

A64249How did the creatures become uncleane, which God had made good?
A64249How doth the Scriptures teach us to purge this leaven out of all corners?
A64249How easily can he repaire all things out of any thing, who can fetch and frame all things out of nothing?
A64249How inconceivable is this to humane reason, which perhaps would count it foolish and ridiculous?
A64249How is it possible to forget that which is sealed on the heart?
A64249How is it then that many come into the Congregation and never bring bells?
A64249How lightly did we in our first parents regard that upheaped measure of bounty and grace conferred by God in our Creation and innocency?
A64249How many of much hope, by the immoderate desires and use of these outward things, have besotted themselves?
A64249How may I cleanse my heart?
A64249How may I doe to get mastery of my corruptions?
A64249How may I know if I apply Christ crucified to my self?
A64249How may I know that the bloud of Christ hath touched and purged me?

A64249How shall we honour Christ as the first- born?
A64249How should he be a light to others that himselfe is in darknesse?
A64249How strong will it be, and how constant?
A64249How was he then a Lamb slaine from the beginning of the World, before the Jewes were in being?
A64249How was the Holy Ghost deceived, yea, and holy men, who have studied in Gods Law night and day?
A64249How were they Gods?
A64249How?
A64249How?
A64249Humane reason will never pray, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A64249I am cast away out of thy sight: So the other cries upon the Crosse, My God my God why hast thou forsaken me?
A64249If the Priest must not weep, how could they seriously repent of their sins?
A64249If the shadows of these holy things might not be cast to dogs: is it nothing to expose to them the body and substance it self?
A64249If they be pure as the Sunne, faire as the Moone, what is he?
A64249If they shall cry out, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A64249In bodily famine how farre will men run and ride for Corn?
A64249In what disposition stands darknesse to entertain light, which fights against it?
A64249In which, what else did they but shadow our Saviour Christ?
A64249Is Christ the Pillar?
A64249Is Christ the true Ioshua?
A64249Is any thing impossible to God?
A64249Is it not reason that the more it pleaseth the Lord to become ours, the more we should become his?
A64249Is not a little leaven enough to soure a whole lump?
A64249Is not a little serpent a serpent; or a little poison poison?
A64249Is not he for us under God?
A64249Is the bloud of Christ so precious?
A64249Many are afraid least the sound of their bells should be heard too much, and that it would disgrace them to be counted diligent Preachers?
A64249Master to whom shall we goe?
A64249Might he not mourne for his wife?
A64249Nay the basest sort made mouthes and scorned them both: And are there not now such as would scorne out the truth of grace were it possible?
A64249Now if one sight of faith in this our absence from Christ be so joyful a thing: what shall the sight of fruition doe in his presence?
A64249Now what a joy is it to the beleeving soule to see God a father look towards it as a father to his first- born?
A64249Now what desert or merit could there be in the first Adam to be followed with grace in his flying from it?
A64249Now whether of us agree with Moses?
A64249Oh hell where is thy victory?
A64249Oh how rich in grace hadst thou been by knowing this season?
A64249Oh now what a sweet Sermon doth this one type contain of the whole sum and marrow of the Gospel?
A64249Oh sin where is thy sting?
A64249Oh who would deal thus with his enemy, but he that hath an Ocean of mercy?
A64249Or be idle in speech, wanton in behaviour, carelesse of his course, or company?
A64249Or how dare he( if he could) pray; How can he keep watch with God, or over his People, or over himselfe?
A64249Or what is it that strikes the body with such contagious sickness, but the infection and sicknesse of the soule?
A64249Or who say that God is in no such society where any pollution is?
A64249Ought not great benefits become great binders?
A64249Scornest thou this holy oyle in thy selfe or others?
A64249Secondly, for the whole doctrine and religion of Popery, how plausible is it to the natural man?
A64249Seeing all of us in this wildernesse are stung with the old Serpent, what are we to doe to be cured?
A64249Seeing there was so much businesse in legall cleansing of the least foulenesse; how carefull were the Jewes to avoid those foulnesse?
A64249Seemes it not good reason to choose, defend, and stick unto our forefathers religion?
A64249Shall Niniveh condemne Judea for not acknowledging a greater than Jonah; and shall it not condemne us not repenting?
A64249Shall any say, Is it not a little one?
A64249Should not strong cords of Gods love draw us strongly to love our God?
A64249So if an humble soul( suppose the Jaylor) shall come to the Minister as Paul or Silas; Sirs, what may I doe to be saved?
A64249Suppose thou haddest power above Joshua the type, art thou stronger than the true Joshua?
A64249That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not the man?
A64249The Hebrew could say, who made thee a judge?
A64249The Jew purged out all leaven, and spared none, not a morsell or a crum: And shall not a Christian count every sin a pollution, and hatefull to God?
A64249The Lords liberality in giving thee( not a sixth day, but) six whole dayes wherein to gather earthly Manna; and wilt thou encroach his day too?
A64249The spawne of a Serpent are Serpents; and what are we but the spawn, the seed of Adam?
A64249The theefe on the Crosse asking Christ to remember him in his kingdome, Augustine askes him: What Royalty doest thou see?
A64249Their glory was eclipsed in the captivity, and where be now any of Davids race according to the flesh?
A64249Then how dares a man that stands to judge between the Lord and his people, scandalize or scorn such as endeavour most to be clean?
A64249This is to be a Christian, to be anointed as Christ was?
A64249Thou art no drunkard, or great swearer, but art thou a companion of such not reproving them?
A64249Thy sinne repented of held Christ, an innocent, out of heaven till he died for it: but where shall ungodly and impenitent sinners appear?
A64249To move us to cease from our sinnes; for who would goe on to provoke so good a God, that still prevents us with love and mercy?
A64249To what end name I these follies, but by Popish and wicked superstition to condemn our heavinesse in Gods Commandements?
A64249Unbeleefe is full of repinings and murmurings: Oh how shall I be provided for, in this or that?
A64249V. Is Christ this Pillar of Cloud and Fire?
A64249Was not Festus a wise man, and a prudent Governour?
A64249Was the Sonne lesse faithfull?
A64249Was there any diference between this and other Clouds?
A64249Was there any sence or reason to be conceived in all this counsel and ordinance of God in healing thus his people?
A64249Was there now so great faith in Israel?
A64249Was there so much power in the bloud of the type; and not much more in the bloud of the truth?
A64249What a fearfull thing is it to come as most men do, not considering the Lords body?
A64249What a marvellous thing is it, that a Pillar of fire should sit upon the Tabernacle, and not burn it?
A64249What a strange thing, that a Pillar of fire must cool the Israelites, and save them from fire?
A64249What authority can an Oracle have in a drunken mans mouth, which can not but use to speake leud things?
A64249What can a Serpent cast out but poyson?
A64249What do they else than cast away the kernell to gnaw upon the shell, or as a mad man, who casts away the graine, and choakes himselfe with the husks?
A64249What easier faith than to believe as the Church doth, no matter what; without any knowledge or faith of their own?
A64249What garments must we put on?
A64249What had it been better, if all the congregation had taken part with a Leper, if the Priest pronounced him uncleane?
A64249What had it been to have passed the oppressours of Egypt, and to have been swallowed up of the sea?
A64249What hope hath he to be taught by the Spirit, that must give lawes to the Spirit of God?
A64249What if a man applaud and commend thee for an honest man, a good neighbour, a just man, if He judge thee a Leper?
A64249What if he had never so much power in teaching, if he were impotent in defending?
A64249What is gold, silver, silk, pearles; to righteousnesse, holynesse, life, immortality and glory?
A64249What kind of Cloud was this?
A64249What may I doe thus to receive the whole Lamb?
A64249What meanes?
A64249What means may we use for the attaining of water out of this Rock?
A64249What need we be at any paines to read, study, and meditate in the book of God night and day, as the Saints have done?
A64249What reason but they may serve a Customer upon the Sabbath, so they come to Church?
A64249What reason hath he to spare us?
A64249What reason he should be so strict, lesse reason they should be as strict as he?
A64249What seemed more diametrally or directly contrary to this promise, yet hindered not but furthered it?
A64249What was the use of this cloudy Pillar?
A64249What was this Preacher to ours?
A64249What were their meanes to ours?
A64249What will this babler fay?
A64249What wise man would drink a draught of poyson for the sweet taste of it?
A64249What wiser men in the world than the Philosophers and Stoicks of Athens?
A64249When did he revile, rebuke, hate?
A64249When do we receive whole Christ?
A64249When heardest thou this first- born brother to swear or lye?
A64249When the Israelite comes to Moses and asketh, Oh what shall I doe to be saved from death, being so deadly stung?
A64249When was he ashamed of thy cause, of thy Crosse, yea or curse?
A64249Whence are so many tumults?
A64249Whence issue these but from a wicked and impenitent heart?
A64249Where be they that will see no Church, if they see any uncleannesse?
A64249Where is our free will to good?
A64249Wherein he said, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A64249Wherein was this cloudy pillar a type of Christ?
A64249While he sits at the wine or strong drink, how can he sit at his study?
A64249Who can say, my faith is strong enough, which is ever imperfect in the best, who know but in part, and believe but in part?
A64249Who can stand before envy?
A64249Who is it that is not a Leper from the wombe?
A64249Who would not whore, swear, prophane the Sabbath, resist Magistracy, riot,& c. if for a little money he may have licence?
A64249Who would play with a deadly Serpent, or make a jest of his own death?
A64249Who would put Aqua vitae, or Balm water, in a fusty and stinking bottle?
A64249Why Serpents?
A64249Why are we unthankfull?
A64249Why called fiery Serpents?
A64249Why doe we stand in our own light, if the truth of the Deitie hath in this our age attained to maturity?
A64249Why doth the Lord thus?
A64249Why fiery?
A64249Why stinging Serpents?
A64249Why stinging?
A64249Why?
A64249Would a man know whether he have received of this spirit for his office?
A64249Would a man spread a table for dogs or swine?
A64249Would he be like us in every thing, even in our evils, sinne onely excepted?
A64249Would it not go to his heart to see him dismembred?
A64249Wouldest thou have God answer thee?
A64249Yea, his own words might seem to imply a sundering, when he saith; Why hast thou for saken me?
A64249and consequently what a prop and stay of our faith?
A64249and how much more should Christians be to avoid the morall?
A64249get ye hence; what have ye to do here?
A64249or cast darts and fire- brands about him to burn himself and others, and say, Am I not in sport?
A64249or drink up the poyson of a Serpent in merriment?
A64249or what a short ● et- wand is natural reason to measure divine things by?
A64249should not we be like him in grace, to be like him in glory?
A64249to make it a member of an harlot?
A64249what a goade and spurre to drive us to Jesus Christ, in whose name alone we can be saved?
A64249what a pregnant testimony and vaticinie is it alone of the death and passion of Jesus Christ, as also of the vertue and merit of the same?
A64249what dost thou but foam out thy own shame?
A64249what if thou seest armies of enemies, of discouragements?
A64249what may I doe to be rid of this Serpent, and of that, of this sin and of that?
A64249what may I doe to be saved?
A64249what questions move they to him?
A64249where should we lie if our Lord did not lift us up, and beare us up?
A64249whilst he slept so fast in the night, as scarce an Angel could waken him, and brought him through the sleepie watch?
A53678( 1) Why God gave this Covenant which was so insufficient unto this great End?
A53678( 2) How then did any of the People yield Obedience unto God, if the Covenant exhibited no Aid nor Assistance unto it?
A53678( 2) What was the especial End and Design which he had therein, towards the Heirs of Promise?
A5367822. was it not so to look on a woman to Lust after her, or were such unclean desires ever innocent?
A5367825, 26: how had he been meet to attempt or effect this work, had not he himself been every way undefiled?
A53678All those Priests being removed, how shall we do now to draw nigh unto God, without such a conduct, such a countenance?
A53678And did not the whole Church prove victorious in the End?
A53678And had he dealt so with all mankind, who could say unto him, what dost thou?
A53678And how can a poor sinful Mortal man, such as are the best of their Priests; pretend to offer the same Sacrifice unto God?
A53678And how can this be in us, unless we have a good perswasion concerning our mutual Interest and In- being in Christ?
A53678And how come we to inherit it?
A53678And how do we become Heirs of this Inheritance?
A53678And how shall they Preach except they be sent?
A53678And how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard?
A53678And how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A53678And if it be so, what use is there of the Mediation and Intercession of Jesus Christ?
A53678And if lying unto the Holy Ghost is so great a sin, what is it to make the Holy Ghost a Liar?
A53678And is it not an unspeakable encouragement thereunto, that God hath confirmed him in that office by his solemn Oath unto him?
A53678And is it not just and equal that we should wholly submit in our work unto his Will, and rest in his Pleasure?
A53678And shall his Servants in the work of the Gospel suppose themselves debased, to receive Respect and Honour from the same Principle?
A53678And shall we think that God will leave any other of his Promises unaccomplished?
A53678And the enquiry is, which of these the Apostle hath respect unto?
A53678And then, How it did evidence it self so to be, as they saw it?
A53678And unto the first Enquiry, Unto what end it served?
A53678And was it from their own wisdom and courage that they were so preserved?
A53678And what Blood must this be?
A53678And what can this do for the real Expiating of the sins of our souls?
A53678And what could not this offering make Attonement for?
A53678And what doth the Law do?
A53678And what greater despite and wrong could be done unto him, then to question his truth and the veracity of his testimony?
A53678And what greater security can they have hereof, than the Interest and Glory which this their High Priest hath in Heaven?
A53678And what is it that is within this Vail?
A53678And what is the Reason or Foundation hereof?
A53678And what is the Reason, why men should so readily close with other means, other Mediators of Intercession to go to God by them?
A53678And what is the final Issue whereinto all these things do come?
A53678And what is there remaining that can encourage us in and unto Duties of Obedience?
A53678And what more Honourable Issue could it come unto?
A53678And what perfection can be expected by such a Priesthood where the Priests were obliged continually to offer for their own sins?
A53678And what perfection could be comprized in an everlasting Rotation of sins and sacrifices?
A53678And what should be the condition of this grace here promised of the pardon of sin?
A53678And what was it( saith the Apostle) that was declared, manifested and known thereby?
A53678And what will he not do for us, who in the height of his Glory is not ashamed to be esteemed our Forerunner?
A53678And whether he make or marr a Vessel, who shall say unto him, What doest thou?
A53678And who but God can ordain himself to be our Reward?
A53678And who knows but this may have the same blessing accompanying of it?
A53678And who was meet to tender it unto him, but the man that was his Fellow, who gave efficacy unto his oblation by the dignity of his Person?
A53678And why should they not?
A53678And why should we despond under the same Trials?
A53678And( 2) in what manner did he teach?
A53678And( 3) what did he so declare unto them, or instruct them in?
A53678And( 4) How did he dispense the Word unto them?
A53678And( 5) When, or at what season did he thus lay out himself in the discharge of this Duty?
A53678And( 6) in what outward condition was he, and with what frame of Spirit did he attend his work?
A53678Are they Priests in Heaven for ever after the Order of Melchisedec?
A53678Are they offered unto God for that end?
A53678Are they sprinkled on these things for their Purification?
A53678Are we not in his hands, as Clay in the hands of the Potter?
A53678Art thou he who is to come?
A53678Art thou he who is to come?
A53678But did any of them miscarry?
A53678But how came Melchisedec to be thus Great?
A53678But how comes this Son of God to be concerned herein?
A53678But how could a Mortal Man come into the World without Father or Mother?
A53678But how is this done, how is their part acted?
A53678But how shall men call on him in whom they have not believed?
A53678But if it be so, why do we hear the bleating of another sort of Cattel?
A53678But if this also as it is in this case be rejected and despised, what remains to set any Bounds unto the Lusts of men?
A53678But if we are always anxious and solicitous about what we do, whether it be accepted with God or no; how do we serve him without fear?
A53678But is this all which we shall have from him or by him?
A53678But it may be enquired, why, if the Law made nothing perfect, it was instituted or given by God himself?
A53678But what do men think of the long- suffering before described?
A53678But what do the Saints themselves as Members of this Body?
A53678But what do we imagine?
A53678But what if Abraham was thus Blessed by Melchisedec, doth this prove that he was less than he by whom he was Blessed?
A53678But what is all this to us?
A53678But what is it that should enduce them hereunto?
A53678But what is this unto the Glory of our High Priest?
A53678But what need was there of two such things?
A53678But what now is become of these Fathers, with all their great Promises and Preachments upon them?
A53678But what shall he say who comes after the King?
A53678But what then shall become of the former?
A53678But whence then was it of necessity that he must have somewhat to offer unto God as our Priest, that is, for us?
A53678But where then would lie the advantage of the Church in his Exaltation, which the Apostle designs in an especial manner to demonstrate?
A53678But whereas that punishment was Death without Mercy, wherein could this exceed it?
A53678But wherefore did the Law make such Priests, men, meer men, that had infirmity, subject to sin and death, so as to put an end unto their Office?
A53678But who can look into, who can comprehend the Glories of those Heavenly Administrations?
A53678But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven, and heaven of heavens can not contain him?
A53678But who would not think that Gods Declaration thereof by the way of Promise, were every way sufficient thereunto?
A53678But why doth the Apostle put an Emphasis upon this, that by these things it was impossible that God should lye, or deceive?
A53678Can they say that from the first day of their coming into their Diocesses or Dignities, or Parishes or Places, they have thus behaved themselves?
A53678Could any man enjoy a moments peace, if he supposed that in his extremity the High Priest might dye?
A53678Cur non dixerit, tantò praestantioris foederis factus est sacerdos Jesus?
A53678Did they overcome meerly by their own Blood?
A53678Do they make Attonement for Sin?
A53678Do we meet with Troubles, Trials, Difficulties, Temptations and Distresses; hath not the Church done so in former Ages?
A53678Do we not think that they are all of them required of us, according unto our measure, and the extent of our employment?
A53678Do we then make void the Law through Faith?
A53678For he offered but once, and at one time; Where then did he thus offer himself and when?
A53678For how can we conceive that the Lord Christ offered for his own infirmities, that is, his sorrows, sufferings, and obnoxiousness unto death?
A53678For how shall he be Tender Compassionate, Careful towards the Souls of others, who knows no Reason why he should be so towards his own?
A53678For if God did never approve of them, never delight in them; unto what end were they Ordained?
A53678For if God should mark Iniquities according unto the Law, who should stand?
A53678For if it will never make Men perfect, to what end doth it serve, or what must do so in the room thereof?
A53678For of him and through him, and to him are all things, to whom be Glory for ever, Amen?
A53678For otherwise unto what end serves the promise and covenant promised?
A53678For unto what purpose should a new Priest of another Order be raised up, to do that which was done before?
A53678For what became of all these Dedicated things after the death of Melchisedec?
A53678For what benefit can any receive from that whose nature and properties he is unacquainted withall?
A53678For what can we properly merit at his hands, whose precedent Bounty we come infinitely short of answering or satisfying, in all that we can do?
A53678For what could any reasonably require further to give them sufficient ground of assurance?
A53678For what could the wisdom of men do in the prefiguration of that mystery, which they had no comprehension of?
A53678For what could they desire more in Reference thereunto, than to enjoy such a gracious earnest of his powerful presence among them?
A53678For what could they require further?
A53678For what did the High Priest do, after he had offered the Anniversary Sacrifice of Expiation unto God?
A53678For what is it possible that things of that kind and nature, which is here described, can contribute unto these ends?
A53678For what is the Offering of real Bread and Wine, and no more, unto the Offering of the Body and Soul of Jesus Christ, under the appearance of them?
A53678For what should it oblige Men unto?
A53678For where is the Glory of the Righteousness or Holiness of God, if impenitent Sinners may be accepted with him?
A53678For who else but God can write the Divine Law in our hearts, and pardon all our sins?
A53678For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellor?
A53678For who was it that called them to these Duties, and on what account?
A53678From whom should now the promised Seed be expected to proceed and spring?
A53678Had he this Design?
A53678Have others more Power in these things than he, so as it is adviseable on that Account to make our Application unto them?
A53678Have they so taught, so preached, so warned, and that with Tears, night and day all sorts of persons, whom they suppose themselves to relate unto?
A53678He was offered 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 to bear the sins of many; When did he do it?
A53678Hence are those cries of such Persons; what shall we do to be saved?
A53678Hereon it might be well enquired, To what purpose then were they appointed?
A53678Hereon, the Enquiry will be, how these things are said to be purified?
A53678How did he do it?
A53678How did they admire the condescension of God of old, in his dwelling in the Tabernacle and Temple by the glorious signs of his presence?
A53678How did this day approach?
A53678How eminent was the divine wisdom of the Holy Ghost, in the structure and order of this Tabernacle?
A53678How express, how multiplyed are his Commands for good works, and our abounding in them?
A53678How glorious art thou in the ways of thy grace towards poor sinful Creatures, who had destroyed themselves?
A53678How glorious should this be in our eyes?
A53678How innumerable are the Temptations which every individual Believer is exposed unto, each of them in its own nature ruinous and pernitious?
A53678How is Christ then made a Priest according to the Power of an endless Life?
A53678How is it that you discern not the Signs of the times?
A53678How it did approach?
A53678How many things have we had made Sacred which never had warranty from any Institution of God?
A53678How many times were that whole people, the posterity of Abraham, at the very brink of Destruction?
A53678How shall not the Administration of the Spirit be rather Glorious?
A53678How shall they escape who neglect so great Salvation?
A53678How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A53678How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A53678How then was this Declaration made, how came it to be known?
A53678How unquestionable, how perfect must the Atonement be that was thus made, how glorious the Redemption that was procured thereby?
A53678How unspeakable are our Obligations unto Faith and Love?
A53678How was it with mankind in this matter?
A53678I confess I can not but admire to think, what some men conceive concerning him or themselves?
A53678I say then have they stumbled, that they should fall?
A53678If God will have some of the Sons of Abraham to pay Tithes, and some to receive them, is there any Ground of Complaint?
A53678If now he should not do so, would he not be unrighteous, must he not deny himself, and not remember his Promise?
A53678If that note of negations be allowed, the words are to be read by way of Interrogation; would they not have ceased to be offered?
A53678If then it be demanded, When God thus sware unto Christ?
A53678If they could at any time have perfected the Worshippers, they would have ceased to be offered; for unto what end should that continuance serve?
A53678Is it because he was Originally in himself, more Wise and Honourable than any of the Sons of Men?
A53678Is it not God and that according unto the Tenour of the Covenant of Grace?
A53678Is it not manifest that this Priesthood and these sacrifices, could never of themselves expiate sin, nor make perfect them that came to God by them?
A53678Is it not probable that they were oft- times ready to say, where is the Promise of his coming?
A53678Is it not reasonable it should be so, after all the hardships and miseries which he, being the Son of God, underwent in this world?
A53678Is it not therefore highly incumbent on them, to satisfie themselves herein that Christ is able to save them in the exercise of this Office?
A53678Is it not to give us our Trial in the use of means as to what shall be our future condition?
A53678Is it that he attained this Dignity and Greatness, by his own Industry and Endeavours?
A53678Is not this to suppose him severe, angry, always displeased, ready to take advantage, one whom nothing will satisfie?
A53678Is the Law then against the Promises of God?
A53678Is there another way for us to go to Heaven than what was prescribed unto the Primitive Believers?
A53678It is said if Christ was God himself, how could he offer himself unto God?
A53678It will be said then, Unto what end did they serve?
A53678Lift up your heads, know your Salvation is nigh at hand; what manner of persons ought we to be?
A53678Man that is Born of a Woman is the Description of every Man; what therefore can be intended?
A53678May he not do with his own what he pleaseth?
A53678May not God do what he will with his own?
A53678Must he not needs be absolutely prevalent in all he ayms at?
A53678No, by no means, he offered not himself on the Earth; how then did he offer for himself on the earth?
A53678O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the Earth?
A53678Of what sort are they whom we see seduced every day?
A53678Of whom shall he be thus seen?
A53678One view of the Glory of this Mystery, how satisfactory is it unto the souls of Believers?
A53678Or are they the Kings or Prophets of the Church: or under what Name or Title is this Power intrusted with them?
A53678Or where is any one word spoken of their Power or Interest in Heaven unto that Purpose?
A53678Our Fathers where are they?
A53678Shall we continue in Sin, saith our Apostle, that Grace may abound?
A53678So Solomon expressed it in his Prayer at the dedication of the Temple, But will God indeed dwell on the earth?
A53678That he will not in due time ingage his omnipotent Power and infinite Wisdom in the discharge of his Truth and Faithfulness?
A53678That the degree of its exceeding that punishment is inexpressible: Of how much sorer?
A53678The Promise being given, there seems to have been no need of it, why then was it added to it at that season?
A53678The Second is, how or in what sence one may be said to do any thing in another, which may be reckoned or imputed unto him?
A53678The Syriack Translation proposeth these words in the way of an Interrogation, Will you again lay another Foundation?
A53678The evidence of the inference which he makes; for this is such as he referrs it unto themselves to judge upon, suppose ye- shall be thought worthy?
A53678The first whereof is, whether Christ himself may not as well as Levi be said to pay Tithes in Abraham, as being in his Loyns?
A53678Then he offered himself twice?
A53678They are not such things as are too earnestly to be desired, for who knows what will be the end of them?
A53678This is expressed in answer unto that enquiry of the blessed Virgin, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
A53678To abound expresseth the largest comprehensible Measures and Degrees; But that which doth more than abound, who can conceive?
A53678To what end serve these Sacrifices, if they could not take away Sin?
A53678To what purpose then should there be any more Offerings for Sin?
A53678To whom shall he thus appear?
A53678Unto what end did they serve?
A53678VVas it not he who hath Mercy on whom he will have Mercy, and is Gracious unto whom he will be Gracious?
A53678Was any one true Believer lost for ever?
A53678Was this spirit in our Apostle?
A53678We shall but foolishly deceive our selves with such Imaginations?
A53678Were our cause intrusted in any other hand; what security could we have that it should not miscarry?
A53678What Evidence and Token of this great work is there given unto the World?
A53678What Love, what Grace, what Mercy may we not expect from him?
A53678What Provision of Instruction for the present and future use of the Church, was laid up and stored in them?
A53678What but infinite wisdom and praescience could order things so in their typical signification?
A53678What could not this Priest prevail for in his Interposition on our behalf?
A53678What day it is, that is intended?
A53678What do we think of those days wherein Prisons, Tortures, Swords and Flames were the Portion of the Church all the world over?
A53678What do you think in your own hearts will be the Judgment of God concerning these sinners?
A53678What else means their Prohibition of the People from reading the Scripture in a Language they understand?
A53678What heart can conceive, what tongue can express the Wisdom, Grace and Love that is contained therein?
A53678What if God will take this way of procedure, and give no reason of it?
A53678What injury is done him by Apostates from the Gospel?
A53678What is it to hold fast this profession?
A53678What is it to serve the living God?
A53678What is meant by holding it fast?
A53678What is meant by the Profession of our Faith?
A53678What is the Effect of this fiery indignation against those adversaries?
A53678What is this fire?
A53678What mean those other Priests and reiterated Sacrifices which make up the Worship of the Church of Rome?
A53678What shall be the end of them who obey not the Gospel?
A53678What shall we render unto him?
A53678What sin, or whose sins could it not expiate?
A53678What to hold it fast without wavering?
A53678What was the condition with the Faith of the best of men when the Lord Christ was in the Grave?
A53678What will some say, to depend on the Wills and Love of the People there is nothing more base and unworthy?
A53678When men said unto David, Where is now thy God?
A53678When their thoughts are thus limited unto Christ alone, their next enquiry is, how shall this man save us?
A53678Where is it said of any Saints or Angels, or all of them together, that they are able to save to the utmost all that come to God by them?
A53678Where is the Equality, Equity, and Righteousness if it were otherwise?
A53678Where is the promise of his coming?
A53678Where then and when did he offer for himself?
A53678Wherefore then serveth the Law?
A53678Wherein then doth this Glory consist?
A53678Whether this Commination may be extended to all Ages, Times, and Seasons?
A53678Who can conceive that Christ by his Death, should procure the Agreement between God and him, that he should dye?
A53678Who can expect that he should any longer condescend unto Office and Duty?
A53678Who can express or limit the Sovereignty of God over his Creatures?
A53678Who can expresse the opposition that continues to be made unto this work of compleating the Salvation of Believers?
A53678Who made the most Glorious Apostle of the first and fiercest Persecutor?
A53678Who now can see any beauty, any glory in the Old Temple Administrations should they be revived?
A53678Who would venture a suprizal unto his own soul in such a condition?
A53678Why did he oblige the People unto their observance?
A53678Why look ye so on us, as though by our own Power and Holiness we made this man walk?
A53678Why should God look after such Fugitives any more?
A53678Why then, it will be said, did God appoint and ordain them?
A53678Will God indeed dwell on the earth?
A53678Will I eat the flesh of Bulls, or drink the blood of Goats?
A53678Will they not rest in the Oath of God, who in doubtful cases do and will acquiesce in the Oaths of men?
A53678Wilt thou know, or knowest thou not, O vain man, that Faith without works is dead?
A53678Yea, but what if all the Honour that Jesus Christ himself hath, or accepts from his People, proceeds from their Wills and Affections?
A53678Yet is this here expresly assigned unto his Blood; How much more shall the Blood of Christ purge your Consciences from dead works?
A53678and hath he not therein promised to accept their Persons and their Duties by Jesus Christ?
A53678and the Prophets do they Live for ever?
A53678and what is this indignation of it?
A53678are not Faith and they equally Acts of Obedience in us?
A53678are not Faith and they equally required by the Gospel?
A53678at least in the same kind, though Faith on some considerations may have the pre- eminence?
A53678behold, the heaven, and heaven of heavens can not contain thee: how much less this house that I have builded?
A53678do we make void the Law by Faith?
A53678doth not God require perfect Righteousness of us?
A53678how unsearchable are his Judgements, and his Ways past finding out?
A53678or that, whereas both concur unto the doing of Good or Evil, the Soul only should be rewarded or punished?
A53678or were delivered by their own Power?
A53678or what is become of thy Religion and Profession, thy pretended Trust in God?
A53678or whether it were confined unto the present state of the Hebrews, with the circumstances they were in?
A53678the Righteousness which the Law originally prescribed?
A53678what Power is able to conflict and conquer the remaining strength of Sin, the opposition of Sathan and the World?
A53678what benefit in the promises of the Covenant?
A53678what created Understanding could ever have raised it self unto a thought, that the Eternal Word should be made Flesh?
A53678what is the duty of the Church concerning such an one?
A53678what way could be more suited unto their Peace and Consolation?
A53678whence then can any just cause of despondence in any Trials or Temptations arise?
A53678who am I then, that I should build him an house, save onely to burn sacrifice before him?
A53678who are we that we should dispute against God?
A53678whom makest thou thy self to be?
A53678why may they not be supposed to have an equal influence into our Justification?
A53678〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 wherefore, ad quid, to what purpose?
A32308A Queen?
A32308A happy shoare indeed; oh see, behold, Are yonder not the hils where men dig gold?
A32308ALas, alas, the soule that sinsmust die, So Scriptures tell me, can the Scriptures lie?
A32308Abused patience thus for ever strive?
A32308Adam, Adam, why fogot''st thou this When thou for ever might''st have liv''d in blisse?
A32308Admit no maker but ingendring power, As earth brings forth the herb, the herb the flower?
A32308Affections can you here not feed desire, And with contentment to the heart retire?
A32308Alas poore Dives heaven hath now deni''d thee, The world which was thy joy, doth now deride thee, Vnhappy Dives, how art thou undone?
A32308Alas, this can not conscience free from care: I have a load of actuall sin to beare; What though I once were drest in cleane attire?
A32308And Parents never- resting care so much?
A32308And can I stop my eare then to his voice, Where at the heav''ns inhabitants rejoyce?
A32308And can no law no bridle hold our jawes?
A32308And can not that same power of thee be thought A God?
A32308And count it sweetest liberty off all?
A32308And hell sufficient for the soules reward?
A32308And how againe, will thy delights increase When as the soule returns to thee in peace?
A32308And how could I forbeare such showers, to see The world in robes, and none but rags for me?
A32308And in the body deeply ravish''d be Thus from that prison set for ever free?
A32308And make us, who will here not hear thy call, Cry out unto thee in the boyling Whale?
A32308And these the Angels, or the Saints most dear Which I should honour, if not worship here?
A32308And will not without violence be freed?
A32308And yet thy kindnesse most of all exceeds, How could''st thou else so full of pitty be To children so undutifull as we?
A32308Are Edens pleasures greater, or so much?
A32308Are all good duties in the doing sweet?
A32308Are all my gentle admonitions vaine?
A32308Are all those neere relations now exil''d, Betweene the tender parent and the child?
A32308Are then our conscience, through our sins unquiet?
A32308Are there no other signs of faith appear?
A32308Art thou in honour and becom''st a beast, O like the beast that perisheth at least?
A32308As though black fate envy''d my happy dayes?
A32308BUt must sin dye, and by degrees surcease Where faith doth live, as faith doth force increase?
A32308BUt why art thou thus cast down, oh my soule?
A32308BUt wretched I, what can I doe herein?
A32308BVt in what nature, if you aske of me Can Christ, that new man, in us dwelling be?
A32308But be it so, what can be granted thence?
A32308But can a child of mine thus blinded keep?
A32308But can a childes forgetfullnesse be such?
A32308But can sin wound thus, hath it such a dart, Yea wound thus deeply, pricking at the heart?
A32308But can the bones consumed into dust Restored be?
A32308But canst thou into natures secrets pry, And canst not view a Deitie there by?
A32308But dust and ashes dar''st thou make a tush Which makes both Angels, and the heav''ns to blush?
A32308But gracious God, to most ungracious we Thus good in a most infinite degree, Do''st thou not dinde us to thy beck herein?
A32308But how can we thy mysteries discusse Whose wayes are so past finding out by us?
A32308But in thy conscience were not such a spark Why shouldst thou be so fearfull in the darke?
A32308But man hath sin''d, can God then satisfie?
A32308But oh, how watchfull is our Fathers eye To make a vertue of necessitie?
A32308But sensles man, or rather savage beast, Canst thou thus at the God- head make a jeast?
A32308But shall we then take pleasure in this thrall?
A32308But silly man shall such a hatefull foe Rob thee of God, prevaile upon thee so?
A32308But silly man, or monster of that name, In mind a monster, though a man in frame, Resolve this question, if thy wisdome can, Is there no God?
A32308But sweet contentments, is it so indeed?
A32308But thou whom night doth thus belet at noon What say''st thou to the Sun, the Stars, the Moon, And Heavens above?
A32308But what conditions doth he then enjoyne For purchasing a Kingdome so divine?
A32308But what conditions doth he then require For saving mankinde from eternall fire?
A32308But what still frowne you?
A32308But when this promise should become fulfil''d Lord what a harvest must this seed then yeeld?
A32308But wherefore should I thus restraine my will?
A32308But why doe we so low polluted ly ▪ And can derive a pedigret so high?
A32308But why should I these troubled Seas propound, I sayling in whose surges must be drownd?
A32308But you faire faces, natures choycesti art, Whose tender beauties shew a gentle heart, Can you prove cruell?
A32308COnscience, oh conscience how comes this to passe?
A32308Can a meer colour, and of all most fading, Be in thy bosome most of all perswading?
A32308Can all the worth, can in the world appear, Make us set light a Fathers love so dear?
A32308Can any childe those pearly drops despise Who sees the tears stand in his fathers eyes?
A32308Can fading beauty, like a bait, intice Thee from thy Father, and all good advice?
A32308Can he that heav''n awaking trumpet sound?
A32308Can our beleife most glorifie thy name?
A32308Can sparks from such a quenched coale revive?
A32308Can such a sun- shine be obscur''d so soone, Shall night incroch upon my day at noone?
A32308Can then the greatnesse of mans sinning let When God himselfe hath undertooke the debt?
A32308Can we account a Fathers kindnes slight Who doth thus tender- fatherly invite?
A32308Can we be merry when thou art so sad?
A32308Can we be most degenerate of all?
A32308Can you thus leave me, will you gull me so?
A32308Can, can a Father seeing in this kinde Have children which are altogether blinde?
A32308Canst thou be wounded, and yet arm''d in brasse?
A32308Canst thou grosse Sadduce thus seduced be ▪ Be yet thus blinded, yet hast eyes to see?
A32308Canst thou lament, when we in mirth are mad?
A32308Canst thou not row then in this calmed ocean?
A32308Canst thou suppose the brickle vessell made As skilfull as its maker in his trade?
A32308Cheer then my thoughts, and usher in content, What gives more courage then a free consent?
A32308Come earthly comforts, come revive my heart, What have you lost your vertue, or your skill Which wo nt to cure me?
A32308Come thou blessed, enter thou my rest?
A32308DEceitfull world, deciphering thy state Who can but erre?
A32308DEluded child, of judement thus depriv''d, And duty voyd, where art thou now arriv''d?
A32308DEluded infant wilt thou be thus cheated?
A32308DIsquieted, yea discourag''d Father; what All duty, yea humanity forgot?
A32308DIstressed soule, my miseries indeed Are out of measure, yet must more exceed ▪ Distressed soule, what punished by art?
A32308Dar''st thou deny that Deitie which here Doth in such perfect characters appeare?
A32308Dear faith, how deep are thy foundations laid?
A32308Defil''d, indeed, we must be so reputed, How can we chuse who joyne with the polluted?
A32308Disquieted bones why rest you not as rotten?
A32308Divinest thoughts, may you thereon incroach?
A32308Doe you betray me, will you fail at need?
A32308Dost thou suppose it is no griefe to me Thus of a Son to disregarded be?
A32308Dost thou thus draw us with thy cords of love, Who might''st most justly with a rod reprove?
A32308Dost thou, who seem''d so sure, begin to reele, Wilt thou in thy displeasure, turne thy wheele?
A32308Doth prayer in secret give the soule delight?
A32308EArth stand amazed, stand amaz''d and move, And be you heav''ns astonished above; A man, and yet no maker?
A32308Earth may bring forth, but not create, fond head, Can that give life which in it selfe is dead?
A32308Easie, indeed, what can more easie be Then to beleeve that Christ hath set us free?
A32308FAint heart, what fail''st?
A32308Faith is in Christ, and Christ in faith, why then Disdaine we faith, adore the works of men?
A32308Father, but canst thou thus be pleas''d with me, Who have thus sin''d both against heav''n, and thee?
A32308For me?
A32308HArk, hark again, what voyce is this I heare, Is this which makes such musick in my eare?
A32308Have I prefer''d you above heav''n, oh vaine, And will you now require me with disdaine?
A32308He which, indeed, was dead and bury''d deep In grave- like grosse security asleep: Hath that lost child the name of Father found?
A32308Here who but Dives had the cap and knee?
A32308Here who came forth with greater pompe then he?
A32308How can I labour, I am dead in sin, Can dead men work?
A32308How can the Scriptures here be reconcil''d, Can we both save the parent, and the childs?
A32308How canst thou view these when thou dost in spleen Reject the glasse where these are to be seen?
A32308How eager shall the divels then be on thee?
A32308How full of wonder finde we all thy deeds?
A32308How gastly shall the damned gaze upon thee?
A32308How highly there shall heavenly Angels place thee?
A32308How justly might''st thou in our straying leave us?
A32308How justly then shall Jesus wear the crown, He having put all adversaries down?
A32308How like a most condemned wretch?
A32308How like a prisoner in a chaine at last Shall I stand forth to heare my sentence past?
A32308How lowd in heav''n shall I his prayses sing, There grac''d to wait upon so great a King?
A32308How out of measure can they yet be more?
A32308How pleasing there shall God the Father take thee?
A32308How shall I here be fully satisfi''d, Where pleasant streames of endlesse pleasure glide?
A32308How shall I then, who once was most debas''d, Be, with much glory, on the right hand plac''d?
A32308How shall I thence ascend up far above When my Redeemer shall his Court remove?
A32308How shall my late dry scattered bones up stand, When thou thus bringst a pardon in thy hand?
A32308How shall my soule and body both affrighted, Then curse the howr they were again united?
A32308How shall the Divels then with fury driven Seaze me for hell, thus sentenc''d out of heav''n?
A32308How shall their blessing then increase my curse?
A32308How sweetly there shall fellow Saints imbrace thee?
A32308How swimst thou in a sea of joyes secure?
A32308How welcome there shall Christ thy Saviour make thee?
A32308How will those Angells and those Saints abhor me Which I abus''d, once seeking to doe for me?
A32308How will those divells which I once obey''d, Then cry my wages shall be duly paid?
A32308I am fraile, I feare I shall in this condition fail; My conscience tells me I am still ingag''d, How shall my conscience be herein aflwag''d?
A32308I am in hell, the body yet seems free, Did I pollute the body, or that me?
A32308If there be none, why should I now begin To make a doubt where none before hath bin?
A32308Incroach?
A32308Is faith Gods gift?
A32308Is heav''nly ● ire so hidden in thy flint?
A32308Is here not heaven?
A32308Is then beleeving in our Saviour dying?
A32308Is there such danger, and I see no snare?
A32308Is there such marble in our bosomes heel''d As must be hamer''d, or it will not yeeld?
A32308Is there, think''st thou, no divell, and no hell?
A32308Kind Father canst thou thus keepe natures lawes?
A32308LOrd what is man may well be ask''d of thee, None but thine eye can that exactly see?
A32308Late smiling fate beginst thou now to frown, As if thou didst intend to throw me down?
A32308Long have I long''d for this thy safe return, Whereat my bowells of compassion yern, Why shak''st thou then, why blushest being poore?
A32308Look''st thou for nothing from the sons of men?
A32308Lord how did man then in thy sight appear?
A32308Lord what a heavy, hidious change was here?
A32308Lord what a large and wondrous preparation Was this which was the spacious worlds creation?

A32308My senses can you not suck hony here?
A32308My teares too fruitlesse, will no meanes restraine, But yet unmoved, but rebellious still?
A32308My tender son wilt thou not be intreated?

A32308THrice happy soule am I, what happy thrice?
A32308THrice wretched, yea most wretched soule am I, Wretched?

A32308The world in pleasure, I in paine and griefe?
A32308The world in plenty, I without reliefe?
A32308Then from the sad sepulchre of anoy, How shall I but lift up my head with joy?

A32308Thy feare is past, thou shalt have raggs no more?
A32308Thy heart is moved at our desperat course: Our hearts unmoved, are without remorse: Thou sighing saist must I reject a Son?
A32308Thy heart made gentle, and thy soule appear, See hell beneath, and heav''n that is most high, Discern thy maker, and eternity?
A32308To entertaine whose greatnesse was it than?

A32308Which seem''d to proffer liberties so sweet, But now become such fetters to my feet?
A32308Which thus tunes Father, hath my Son that strain, Is he restor''d unto that life again?
A32308Whither my child, oh whither would''st thou go?
A32308Who labours thus unto us to convay A state which never, never shall decay?

A10659whether wee with our ten thousand flies and lusts are able to meete him with twentie thousand Angels and Iudgements?
A10659who creepe into houses with a forme of pietie, to seduce unstable foules, and plucke off their feathers to make themselves a neast?
A10659would hee have wasted his pretious time at slewes, stages, or tavernes, or taken delight in sinfull and desperate fellowships?

A65863& c. And whether, or to whom was the Spirit sent from Eternity?
A65863& c. Come, what part of Scripture is your Rule?
A65863( as his words are) And when was that performed or wrought?
A65863( as manifest in you) Is not Christ Justification, and Sanctification?
A65863( however was it not an Act in time) if so, how sayes T. V. That the Generation of the Son must be Eternal?
A65863* Where then is his absolute Power and soveraignity so much profest?
A65863* Where then is the Impossibility in him for it?
A6586319?
A6586325. what Scripture hath he for this, or these Expressions?
A658633. how are they three distinct or separate persons, subsisting each by himself?
A6586349. to a righteousness bestowed upon men by Faith; I ask, if that man is not a partaker and enjoyer of that righteousness by Faith?
A65863Again, How oft did they provoke him, and grieve him in the Desart?
A65863Alas, alas, what a cruel unjust and unequal Master would this render God?
A65863And Abraham''s Faith, who obeyed God, and forsook his Countrey?
A65863And also, Is it not clear that you deny the true Faith of God''s Elect, that the Just lives by?
A65863And are not you them that shoot at the perfect with your dirty Arrows?
A65863And did Christ make Satisfaction for the sins of men, that they should live and die in their sins?
A65863And did not Paul absolutely forbid such Philosophy and vain deceipt?
A65863And do you not say, That Faith is not perfect?
A65863And do you not say, That your Sanctification, and Justification, and your Prayers, and Graces, and Faith, all are imperfect?
A65863And do you think that the Lord will nor remember and reckon with you for all these things?
A65863And does not this their Doctrine lead People to trample the Blood of the New Covenant under foot, and this is to deny the one Offering?
A65863And dost thou not, in thy 16th page of thy Synopsis, bring the Greek Philosophers to prove the Persons?
A65863And doth not Faith heal?
A65863And have you not taken Tythes of them?
A65863And have you the same Power and Spirit as they had that gave forth Scriptures?
A65863And he speaks again in his 14th page of Three distinct Persons are one with the God- head; — Now Reader, is not here Four?
A65863And how Friends were thronged in Prison up and down in the Nation by you?
A65863And how then are such as be in Christ new Creatures?
A65863And if such a plenary Satisfaction( as it is called) be made for some in that sinful state, why not for all?
A65863And if there were three Coeternal Persons before, whether this doth not make a fourth?
A65863And in the Beginning was the Word, and all things were made by the Word: and, were all things made by the Scriptures?
A65863And is it not a shame to put in Print, to tell the World, That thou wouldst rather have thy People go to a Bawdy- house, than to a Quakers Meeting?
A65863And is it not perfect?
A65863And is not Faith the Gift of God?
A65863And must you not Pray in the Spirit of God?
A65863And so was not his Suffering two- fold, both Inward and Outward?
A65863And then I Query, How is this Satisfaction made by Christ?
A65863And there, in your Directory, do you not set up your Imaginations and Meanings above Scriptures?
A65863And they say, That he will not have mercy upon all; and do not you say, That he will have mercy upon some?
A65863And was Christ''s manner of being in the Flesh of an infinite nature?
A65863And was not the Church Established in the Faith?
A65863And was the Father''s begetting the Son a Personal Act?
A65863And was there any Act but what was brought forth in time?
A65863And what sense is it to say, thy Makers[ is] thy Husband?
A65863And what was that Rule that Adam had, and all the Holy Men in the Old World?
A65863And what was the Light that shined in the Darkness, and the Darkness comprehended it not?
A65863And what was the Rule of Enoch''s Faith, by which he was translated?
A65863And where do the Scripture say, That they may seek for Christ''s Righteousness Imputed without themselves?
A65863And where doth T. D. prove his Doctrine of Christ''s being holy by a true inherent righteousness of the humane Nature?
A65863And where doth the Scripture mention three increated Persons thou tell''st of, are they three distinct increated Persons?
A65863And where doth the Scripture say, That a man shall not be made free from sin?
A65863And where doth the Scripture say, The Works of Faith, and the Works of Grace, and the Fruits of the Spirit, are sinful?
A65863And where doth the Scripture use these words Accidents and Integrals of the God- head?
A65863And where is his Soul called Humane?
A65863And whether it doth not render God, or represent the Deity, to be like visible men, or finite creatures, that are comprehended in time, yea or nay?
A65863And why do you Presbyterians cry against the Quakers Light, which is Christ, as being but an Heathenish light?
A65863And would they not lay the fault in God, when the fault is in man by not believing?
A65863And would you not say, The Peace of God to them, for paying you Tythe?
A65863And, do not you Contradict Scripture, and God, and Christ, and the Prophets and Apostles words, and so are found in an Erronicus Principled Spirit?
A65863And, is not he in you?
A65863And, why do you deny Common Prayer, and set up a Directory and a Church Faith of your own making?
A65863Are Heaven and Earth Persons?
A65863Are not all things that bear record Witnesses?
A65863Are they now chang''d from infinite to finite?
A65863But can it be said of the Immortal God, whom they distinguish into three several Persons, that he ever dyes?
A65863But did God undergo that punishment?
A65863But his saying, You must kill or be killed, either you must overcome the world, or the world you: What must they kill but sin and worldly lusts?
A65863But how doth this hold with that before, That it was but an Inclination to punish?
A65863But is there not perfect obedience now for men to perform?
A65863But then, when is this freedom from Sin, or state of Holiness( which T. D. saith will be in a proper sence perfect) attainable, if not in this life?
A65863But was Christ, being cloathed with Flesh, or the Spirits appearing in the shape of a Dove, or being sent, from Eternity?
A65863But what doth all your performances amount to, while Perfection is denied, and Sin contended so much for by you?
A65863But, what is all the Scripture the Rule, from Genesis to the Revelations, to walk by and practice?
A65863But, who art thou, O man, that doth find fault with thy Maker?
A65863Can he not satisfie or please himself?
A65863Could Christ''s Death, or Temporal Sufferings be Eternal?
A65863Could they be Justified without a Saving Knowledge?
A65863Danson, and William Maddox to it?
A65863Did you ever hear such a Mash?
A65863Distinguish: For you say the Scripture is your Rule?
A65863Do not daub up People with untempered Mortar; do you know the Mortar that is tempered?
A65863Do not you hold Justification without, and that it is without Man and Woman?
A65863Do ye know what you are doing?
A65863Do you know what you are?
A65863Do you know where you are?
A65863Do you know whether you are a going?
A65863Do you not belye the Rule here?
A65863Do you not give the Scripture the lye?
A65863Does it depend upon him as Man, or as God and Man?
A65863Dost thou not abuse the Father, Son, and Spirit, and Scriptures?
A65863Dost thou not bring Cardinal Pool, and Aquinas, and Aristotle, to prove thy Assertions, and thy Imaginations?
A65863Doth he then bid them look, bid them walk aright in the strait Path?
A65863Doth it not give Victory?
A65863Doth not this still relate to the outward or visible appearance of man?
A65863First, Hereupon I do enquire, if man that hath been in Prison and bondage under sin and corruption be let out of that Prison upon Christ''s Obedience?
A65863For if he have alwayes enemies or sins unsubdued in this Life, how are they overcome and victory obtained?
A65863For was not Adam and Eve the first Parents of both, to whom this Promise was made?
A65863For, doth not the Scripture say, That Christ is the Word?
A65863Had he another manner of being distinct from his own?
A65863Hadst thou not this word from the Heathen?
A65863Hath not Faith works that purifies the heart?
A65863Have you not been like Judas, and the Persecuting Jewes, and the Heathen, that Persecuted the true Christians?
A65863Hear ye now ye House of David, is it a small thing to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
A65863How now Professors, Do you thus requite God for his Love?
A65863How then did Christ undergo infinite Wrath from offended infinite Justice, that sinners and sin deserved, when he never sinned?
A65863How then is God free in his Attributes, as they confess?
A65863How then was he the Son of his Love, who freely gave himself to bear the sins, sorrow, and burthen of all?
A65863How would they be acquitted before him?
A65863I ask how this consists with your sence of Vindictive Justice else where?
A65863I ask if refusable Payment, how then is God bound to take Vengeance, in T. V. his sense?
A65863I ask what Law it is an act of?
A65863I ask, if the effects of that Blood are not known within, in its purging the Conscience, and cleansing from all sin,& c?
A65863I must confess I never heard this Argument before; if each Holy signifie a Person, how then are they spoken to the One God?
A65863If another thing be paid, How agrees this with J. O?
A65863If it consist in his Personal Obedience and Suffering onely, without the knowledge of his work within?
A65863If there be Three in the God- head he hath made Four; for, what is the God- head?
A65863If this Mystery be so apparent in Scripture, why can they neither demonstrate it, nor clear it to themselves?
A65863If yes ▪ where, or in what place of the whole world( or out of it) is the one entire and severed from the other?
A65863Is God a Man?
A65863Is God divided, or Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, separate or abstract from their Essences?
A65863Is God fully satisfied that any should live in sin, or is his infinite Justice satisfied so, as not to lay hold on them in the sinful state?
A65863Is Paper and Ink in Peoples hearts?
A65863Is he ever divided or displeased with himself?
A65863Is it all a Rule for practice?
A65863Is it for men to live Soberly, Righteously, Godly, in this World?
A65863Is it himself?
A65863Is it in God, yea or nay; or relating to his Divine Being, or Substance?
A65863Is it not called the Righteousness of Faith?
A65863Is it not sad Doctrine that supposeth any Separation, Finiteness, or Limitation, in this Divine Being?
A65863Is it to maintain a Universal Kindness and Good Will to men?
A65863Is it?
A65863Is not Christ and his Body Glorified, and he the Lord from Heaven; for is not Christ''s Nature Divine, and his Soul Divine, which comes out from God?
A65863Is not Christ''s Prayer to be fulfilled, or did he pray in vain?
A65863Is not Christ''s Prayers available?
A65863Is not here a manifest contradiction between these two Brethren unto themselves, and their own Doctrine in this matter?
A65863Is not humane Finite, according to T. D. and T. V. their Doctrine?
A65863Is not this a confirmation to what is queried before concerning this he calls Vindictive Justice?
A65863Is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Finite?
A65863Is there any Love in God that is not well pleasing unto himself?
A65863Is there finiteness in each person, and yet each person God; what gross darkness and blasphemy is this?
A65863Is this such a childish, shameful, or brainless Consequence, that the Debt remains still to Christ?
A65863Judge what would be the effect hereof?
A65863Let us see Scripture for these things, and that the Apostles practised them as you do; and whether your practises were according to theirs?
A65863Let us see where ever Christ, or the Prophets, or Apostles, preached such Doctrine?
A65863Must not Christ be in you?
A65863Must we obey every tittle of it?
A65863Nay, did they not Preach in the simplicity of the Gospel, and Exhort in simplicity, as of the Abilitiy that God gave?
A65863No, he is a Spirit, I tell thee the Scripture sayes so: Is the Holy Ghost a Man?
A65863Now T. V. his Doctrine and meaning speakes as much, as that he that is born of God doth commit sin,( shall we believe John or him?)
A65863Now do you not cry up Bawdy- houses, or any way, so that you can get gain?
A65863Of that which is plainly derogatory to the Glory of the Infinite God, by going to fasten the limitations of finite Creatures upon him?
A65863Or dare they say, That the Father, Word, and Spirit, are three distinct, severed, or separate Creators, and doth not this bespeak three Gods?
A65863Or how are they three distinct increated persons of an infinite nature, as before?
A65863Or if this Love of Complacency( so termed) was the Effect of Christs Satisfaction, and not the other, then was it not in Being in God before?
A65863Or might not( probably) Justin bring in some of his Philosophy, which is not Scripture?
A65863Or was he therein a Fourth Person?
A65863Or were it good Doctrine to say, that God so loved the World, that he hated his only Son?
A65863Or, how have they that are his, crucified the flesh with the Affections and Lusts?
A65863Or, is there a Victory over Enemies, and they not overcome?
A65863Or, three distinct separate persons of an infinite nature?
A65863Or, what part of Scripture is the Rule?
A65863Reader, Do but mark his Jigg here, and what a whirling he has made like one distempered; but where is his Scripture for all this?
A65863Reply, Is not a person that is in himself impure opposite to God''s pure Nature?
A65863Reply, What time was that the Gentiles had no Promise of Christ and how long was it?
A65863Samuel Fisher''s Book against me, instead of writing against a new man?
A65863Secondly, And if we be only so far made righteous by Christs Obedience, as unrighteous by our own disobedience: how far is that?
A65863Secondly, whether a man being a Person is a competent instance for proof of his Maker being three several Persons?
A65863Seeing the Law of Faith is acknowledged, I ask, how far it extends, whether to enjoyn to the perfect obedience of Faith, yea or nay?
A65863So see whether you are not adders to these Words, as it is made appear before?
A65863T. V. Whether is it any absurdity, to say, that God should be at the Charges of his own Satisfaction?
A65863Tell us what it is by Chapter and Verse; thou sayes the Scripture is the Rule?
A65863That I refer all modest and sober Readers to judge of, Whether T. V. hath spoken Truth herein, yea or nay?
A65863The Scriptures speaks plentifully concerning Christ being the Word of God: God is the Word, is not this Scripture?
A65863Then your indeavouring and striving is all in the unbelief, How do you indeavour and strive?
A65863Thirdly, whether Christ be several and distinct by himself from God ▪ and the holy Spirit several and distinct from both?
A65863This is a dark thing, to whom will you liken me, saith God?
A65863Thou sayest the Soul is part of man''s Nature; Where doth the Scripture, thy Rule, say so?
A65863Thou sayest the word Person can not properly be attributed to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: Why doth the Presbyterians rage so against the Quakers?
A65863Thou speaks of Three Persons; and a man is a Person; What doest thou infer from this?
A65863Three Subsistents, Three Persons, and Analogically; Is this a Scripture word People?
A65863To which T. D. answereth; Why not?
A65863Upon which, I query, is the distinction of three Persons derived from three Makers, or three Creators?
A65863WHether do the Scriptures speak of Three Persons in the God- head, according to your own Rule, in these express words; let us see where it is written?
A65863Walking humbly with God, were opposed to the Faith it self, which is the Root thereof?
A65863Was Christ the Image of the Father, as he was of the Generation of Abraham, or David, or Adam?
A65863Was there ever such darkness and confusion uttered?
A65863Well, Mark Reader, he sayes there are Three Persons, and Three Subsistents in the God- head; and hath not he made Four here?
A65863Were they not Spiritual Acts of the Divine Spirit and Power of God?
A65863What Evil was it that sinners deserved or should have undergone?
A65863What Liberty here, do you give to Youth, and your Hearers?
A65863What Scripture hath he for these words and this Doctrine?
A65863What Scripture hath he then to call it humane?
A65863What a strange Object is he here rendred?
A65863What a strange limitation is here laid upon the infinite God?
A65863What agreement is this which is not simply?
A65863What course then will he take to convince such?
A65863What darkness is here?
A65863What differs now between substance and subsistence?
A65863What false glosses would he set upon his Contradictions?
A65863What gross and apparent Contradictions are these?
A65863What gross darkness is this?
A65863What is it then?
A65863What is that Image in his People he loves freely, is it perfect or imperfect?
A65863What is that Light that shines in the Heart, to give the Knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus?
A65863What is the Word of God in the Heart the Apostle Preached, and the People was to obey it, and do it?
A65863What less do their own distinctions and comparisons concerning them amount to, than to Three Apostles, or men?
A65863What strange Logick is implyed here?
A65863What then are persons in a Justified state while they are neither meet for Heaven, not fit to enjoy it?
A65863What then can be God''s end in lightning them?
A65863What think you, his Hearers, and the rest of his Brethren, Were these words savoury, and did they become his Profession, yea or nay?
A65863What was the Spirit that the Wicked grieved, vexed, and quenched?
A65863What, is this your Doctrine that you now Preach up, for your Hearers, to go to a Bawdy- house, as Thomas Vincent speaks?
A65863What, this is a new way?
A65863Where are the Blasphemers now?
A65863Where did the Apostles use any such dark words?
A65863Where do the Scripture speak of a Trinity of distinct Persons, from Genesis to the Revelation?
A65863Where does the Scripture say so?
A65863Where doth the Scripture say, That it self is the Word of God?
A65863Where doth the Scripture say, That the Father, Son, and Spirit doth not agree simply?
A65863Where doth the Scripture say, from Genesis to the Revelation, That the true Faith of God is without Works?
A65863Where doth the Scripture speak of an Humane Nature of Christ in Heaven?
A65863Where doth the Scriptures use these Expressions, or this distinction of an Electing Love, and Complacing Love in God?
A65863Where is it that leads the Saints into all Truth?
A65863Where is it?
A65863Where is now the blasphemy, and blasphemer?
A65863Where proves he this by Scripture?
A65863Where proves he this in all the Scriptures?]
A65863Where then is the newness of Life altogether, or the Grace of God in its teaching to deny those things, obeyed?
A65863Where were you in the time of Persecution?
A65863Whether brings in more profit to the Priests mouths, Tythes, and Easter- Reckonings, and Midsummer- Dues, or the Great Platter?
A65863Whether or no all the sinners and ungodly of the whole World are Justified by his Death, and by his offering up once for all?
A65863Whether or no was Christ an Offering for the sins of the whole World, and died for the sins of the whole World?
A65863Which to accuse all God''s People of worldly Lusts all their life time, what an abuse is it to them?
A65863Who can not see the ignorance and confusion of thy blind distinction?
A65863Why is not that Scripture produced all this while, if there be such, as reveal your distinctions and notion of persons in God?
A65863Will you deny his Prayer you vain men?
A65863Will you deny the Works of Faith, because the Works of the Law was denyed by the Apostle?
A65863Yes, very well it may be so said, Christ gave them power to become the Sons of God, who believed on his Name; and was not this God''s Power?
A65863You that deny Perfection, do ye not deny the One Offering, Christ Jesus, who hath perfected for ever them that are Sanctified?
A65863[ But then doth T. D. think he amends it, by considering God as a Creditor, and so as a private Person?
A65863a compensation made to God for our sin by Christ doing or suffering, or both, Justice that is Vindictive?
A65863a sutable disposition to the Law, as his words are?
A65863and Faith in you?
A65863and are the Water and the Blood Persons, seeing they bear record in the Earth?
A65863and by the same reason, when he and they are found guilty of Cavils and Sophisms, may not others as much slight him and them therein?
A65863and doth not this also accord with T. V. his Doctrine?
A65863and doth not this extend to all that were dead?
A65863and doth the Satisfaction consist in humane Blood?
A65863and how far distant one from another?
A65863and how must sacred mysteries be known?
A65863and how the Presbyterians and Priests beat the Quakers?
A65863and how then did the Apostle bring them as a Proof of Justification?
A65863and if all their Debts be paid, why are they not out of Prison?
A65863and is Conscience in a man a Person distinct from the man, seeing Conscience beareth witness?
A65863and is this the use you make of your Plea for a full Satisfaction and Debt paid for you?
A65863and that it is not attainable in this Life?
A65863and the Spirit of God in you to Pray by?
A65863and was it not Everlasting?
A65863and what Answer would he make them to this their corruption?
A65863and what blind Sophistry, and silly Logick and babling do these men use, and put upon the Immortal God?
A65863and what is it in him that can answer to, and receive the Spiritual Testimony of Truth and Salvation?
A65863and what is the Spirit of Truth that reproves the World of sin?
A65863and what meaning will they give to it?
A65863and where doth the Scripture speak of any Person without either Soul or Body?
A65863and where ever did the Apostles, and true Ministers of God Preach in this manner, or allow of such Philosophy in Preaching the Mysteries of God?
A65863and where then is this finite personallity so much contended for?
A65863and wherein doth man bear a proportion or likeness in his Person with his Maker?
A65863and whether a man subsists by himself?
A65863and yet he was both God and( innocent) Man?
A65863are these pertinent proofs of their distinct personalities, which are reckoned Co- eternal?
A65863as well as 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A65863but is not that which is humane Finite?
A65863by Godliness; and if Godliness be enjoyned upon all, I ask, must all remain in a sinful ungodly state?
A65863do you not confess it was the Wrath and Vengeance of God, Hell, Everlasting Damnation, and Punishment from his just hand?
A65863do you thus requite the Lord, and answer his requirings, will he accept of these things at your hands?
A65863for that was the end of Christian Religion,& c. Is it to do as we would be done by?
A65863for their being three distinct persons, subsistences, or manners of being; For, were they three distinct Comforters of an infinite nature?
A65863for was not he the brightness of his Fathers Glory, and the express Image of his Divine Substance?
A65863from personal Acts, as he calls them, as sending the Comforter, his speaking and guiding,& c. Where doth the Scripture call them Personal Acts?
A65863from whence did his acts or works of real obedience proceed and flow, if not from his living Faith, and its righteousness within?
A65863had Christ any thing but what was Gods?
A65863have we not been actually unrighteous, and shall we so far be made righteous by Christ''s Righteousness?
A65863herein shewed his Ignorance of Scripture?
A65863how do Professors resent this Doctrine?
A65863how then doth it satisfie Infinite Justice?
A65863how was it unsutable to the Law?
A65863how will this hold consistent?
A65863if they say it is; where do the Scriptures say so?
A65863in this his outrage, be a Person to be believed, yea, or nay?
A65863is it real or true, or no?
A65863is not here manifest contradiction?
A65863lay such an Impossibility on God of freely pardoning?
A65863must they all live in Sin and Imperfection tearm of life, and say all our Debts is paid?
A65863nor yet partakers of that which makes like to God, and brings into Communion with him?
A65863or according to the Spirit?
A65863or how could that do those things contained in the Law without a sutable disposition to it?
A65863or that is not of his Good Will, or Benevolence, which is confest to be saving?
A65863or why should they say, we desire not the knowledge of thy Wayes, if the knowledge thereof was not tendred to them?
A65863or would not the Scripture satisfie them, and yet profess it their Rule?
A65863queries how can the Power of God, or a quality be said to be sent, to be given, to be bestowed on men?
A65863saith) if they must not really injoy Christ''s Righteousness within?
A65863saith, That the Lord extendeth his special Mercies to?
A65863surely nay: Or, did Christ as man, undergo that eternal Punishment, Death, and Curse due to sinners?
A65863that Imputation is an Act of Law and makes a Relative, and not a real change?
A65863then are not all men so free and acquitted for whom he did suffer?
A65863throughout?
A65863was it Spiritual yea or nay?
A65863was not his Righteousness from the Divine Nature?
A65863what Gods are they that these men would have us believe in?
A65863what do you signifie for him?
A65863what doth it signifie to them, if they be so wholy uncapable of seeing ever the better?
A65863what nature was it by which they did those things contained in it?
A65863where are their Souls?
A65863where are their sins and pollutions and imperfections, if all be yet uncleansed and not freed from sin?
A65863where doth he prove these words in Scripture?
A65863where doth the Scripture say that his Soul was created?
A65863where it is said, Thy Maker is thine Husband, the Lord of Hosts is his Name; Is not this truly rendered?
A65863where then was his Faith, and the righteousness and obedience of it, if in reallity he was not a partaker and an enjoyer thereof within?
A65863why doth he actum agere, as he saith?
A65863with Blasphemy, who never denied the infiniteness of either Father, Word, or Spirit; but what greater Blasphemy can there be than their own?
A65863— And so, in the Title of his Book, he speaks of Three Persons in the God- head; Are there not Four then?
A65863— And so, is it not clear, That you deny the Blood of Christ, and trample it under your feet?
A65863— And we say the Scriptures are a better Rule than your Directory; for if the Scriptures be the Rule, why do you set up a Directory to be your Rule?
A65863— And what Hee, is this, but Christ Jesus?
A65863— Come, are these words spoken in the Rule, the Scriptures?
A65863— Come, what is this agreement then, if it be not an agreeing simply?
A65863— Didst thou not say, That God was so simple, that he admitted of no parts; what agreement is this if it be not simple?
A65863— Do you not make the Blood of Christ of none effect here?
A65863— For the outward Jewes in the Figure, had Blood sprinkled upon them in the outward Offerings; — Come answer us by Scripture?
A65863— Is not the Great Bason holden at Door?
A65863— Should you not call the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as the Holy Men did call them in the Scriptures?
A65863— So how can you say they are separated, when they are one in another?
A65863— So is it not clear here whose Ministers you are?
A65863— What think you, do we not know your tricks?
A65863— — Now, do you not say there is no Perfection?
A65863‖ Are not all that are in Sin and Bondage of Corruption in Prison?
A5369614.1, 2. and then turning unto God he saith, And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, regard such a poor frail perishing creature?
A5369616. was ever designed for this End, to enable them the more easily to obtain the Remission of sins by another means which they use?
A5369663.2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Who should this work more become, or belong unto than him, who was persecuted and opposed by them?
A53696A living head and dead members, a beautiful head and rotten members, how uncomely would it be?
A53696Again, How are they delivered from their Adversaries?
A53696Against whom do they magnifie themselves, and lift up their horns on high?
A53696Alas, what are they if compared to the excellency of this Love of God in Christ Jesus?
A53696And Jacob asked him and said, Tell me I pray thee thy name; and he said, wherefore dost thou ask after my name?
A53696And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people?
A53696And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me?
A53696And are we not miserable if we like not this agreement?
A53696And doth it not directly belong unto his Kingly power?
A53696And for the errour, if the Father and Son be the God- head, how doth one stand in need of the other?
A53696And for what cause or reason?
A53696And how did he entertain this proposal?
A53696And how do they despoil him of his Honor, in taking of from his work?
A53696And how doth he do it, by the mighty word of hispower, as he made all things of old?
A53696And how many more, wise in this world, through the neglect of it, do walk in darkness all their dayes?
A53696And how shall we judge of what we know nothing but from him, but only by what he doth?
A53696And if he created the world, why did not Moses as plainly attribute that unto him, as the Writers of the New Testament do the new Creation?
A53696And if this be despised, is it not righteous that men should perish?
A53696And in what sense shall he be called the Prince of Peace?
A53696And is it not just that such persons should be filled with the fruit of their own ways?
A53696And is it not their duty to whom they are revealed, to do that, which out of love unto them, our Lord Christ Jesus did on their behalf?
A53696And is not this contrary to the Analogie of the Scripture, and the open truth of the thing its self, he being cursed among the Beasts of the Field?
A53696And is the Great and Holy God less to be regarded?
A53696And now Lord, seeing it is thus: Seeing this is the condition of mankind, what is thence to be looked after?
A53696And shall they escape by whom it is despised?
A53696And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
A53696And what Rule of Justice will admit, that the Accessory should be punished with greater Sufferings than the Principal?
A53696And what a madness is it to judge otherwise of that we do no otherwise understand?
A53696And what are the seventy six Miracles of Moses unto those, as to number, which in the first place the Jews glory in?
A53696And what can it then do?
A53696And what could worldly or Satanical Wisdom have imagined otherwise?
A53696And what did he there?
A53696And what is the Dominion of ten thousands of worlds in comparison of this Inheritance?
A53696And what is this life?
A53696And what shall he do that comes after the King?
A53696And what shall we say concerning the most glorious, concerning the Order of them all unto one another, and the whole?
A53696And what should a spiritual Redeemer do unto these men?
A53696And what should they expect from a Messiah that suffered and died?
A53696And whence is it, that he should take thought of us, or set his heart upon us?
A53696And whence is it, that he who made all these things of nothing, should have such regard to the weak, frail nature of man?
A53696And wherein doth our Testimony come short of theirs?
A53696And who can sufficiently admire this Excellency of the Nature of God?
A53696And who shall sit at the Right Hand of God in his Rule over the whole world?
A53696And who should judge Him, if he left him for ever to eat of the fruit of his own wayes, and to be filled with his own devices?
A53696And who will lay any weight upon what is spoken, foretold, or promised concerning him, if the Jews have power to invent another at their pleasure?
A53696And why four?
A53696And will men yet feed themselves with hopes of mercy whilst they neglect the Gospel?
A53696And yet alass, what a little, what a small portion of its Glory, Excellency, Beauty, Riches, is it, that we are able in this world to attain unto?
A53696Are the miseries of man in his labour, or the sorrows of Women in Childbearing taken away?
A53696Are their Persons, or their Services therefore accepted with God?
A53696Are these things to be despised?
A53696Are they acquainted with the state and condition, the Weakness, Temptations, Graces of all the people of Christ?
A53696Are they meet for the Inheritance of the Saints in light?
A53696Are they not all as subject unto Death, as was Adam himself?
A53696Are they not ready to wash themselves in the blood of them who intimate any such thing unto them?
A53696Are they related or united unto Christ?
A53696Are they to be cast aside among the things wherein we are least concerned?
A53696Are they under his conduct unto glory?
A53696Are we afraid of a man that shall die?
A53696Are we not kept from being prevailed against?
A53696Are we to blame if the Jews are not pleased with the wayes of God?
A53696Being obedient therein unto death, the death of the Cross?
A53696Besides, on what account should Hezekiah so eminently be called The Prince of Peace?
A53696Besides, what ground do such men leave unto the Lord Christ to stand upon as it were in his Intercession for us in Heaven?
A53696Besides, when should he make an end of dying?
A53696Besides, who should contrive the way of it, for them?
A53696Bethlehem 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, art thou but little?
A53696But alas, how will they be deceived?
A53696But alas, what can the best and wisest of men attain unto in the investigation of the Wisdom of God?
A53696But are we forsaken?
A53696But do these thoughts suit the Faith, Hope, Prayers, and Expectations of the Church of old?
A53696But doth he do this absolutely, as they are such?
A53696But had he then unfolded the mysteries of the Old Testament to the Hebrews, which was his design?
A53696But how is this to be done, absolutely and immediately as it is the glory of the Father?
A53696But how may it appear that it was the Messiah who should be thus born of a Virgin?
A53696But how shall this be confirmed unto them?
A53696But is this the Glory promised?
A53696But this is now taken from them, and what shall they do?
A53696But what Justice is it that Man should sin, and Angels suffer?
A53696But what Scepter had the House of Judah before?
A53696But what are all these unto this salvation?
A53696But what great matter is in all this?
A53696But what if the word be abused in that place by that Writer?
A53696But what is now become of that Bath Kol also for a thousand six hundred years?
A53696But what is the Reason that Eldad and M ● dad must be thought to prophesie thus concerning Gog?
A53696But what makes the Application of the night of the Passeover to the coming of the Messiah?
A53696But what need all this Enquiry?
A53696But what tended all this to its glory?
A53696But what th ● n shall become of the people?
A53696But what was this to a Scepter and a Law- giver?
A53696But what was this unto the Gospel that he undertook to declare?
A53696But when Divine Wisdom, Goodness, Love, Grace and Mercy shall set themselves at work, what will they not accomplish?
A53696But when Joshua the Son of Nun first saw the Angel, he said, art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
A53696But who told them so?
A53696But why are not the other Ends expressed in the Prophecy, namely, to seal up Vision and Prophecy, and to annoint the Most Holy, here mentioned also?
A53696By what notions of God could we have been instructed in the Wisdom and Righteousness of such a Proceeding?
A53696Can Right Reason, or a Light within, be no otherwise adored, but by sacrificing the blood of Christ unto them?
A53696Can any be assigned but the Sovereign Grace, Pleasure, and Love of God?
A53696Can any thing more fondly be imagined?
A53696Can he profit God as a man profiteth his neighbour?
A53696Can he save others, who it seems could not save himself?
A53696Can they ascend into heaven?
A53696Can they fancy that their Messiah should be more victorious or successfull then Alexander?
A53696Can they pluck the Lord Christ from the Throne of God?
A53696Cast off the works of his hands, and suffer all things to run at random?
A53696Did their Fore- fathers at any time before the Captivity transgress this Orall Law, or did they not?
A53696Do they answer any one Promise of God concerning him?
A53696Do they not all lead us to the contemplation of his Infinite Excellencies?
A53696Do they not dye who never sinned after the similitude of Adams Transgression?
A53696Do they not take that blood out of his hand, which he is carrying into the Holy Place?
A53696Doth any man doubt but that he wrote in Greek, and therefore so rendred her Syriack Expression?
A53696Doth his Goodness extend to him?
A53696Doth it consist in Riches, Honor, Power, Pleasures?
A53696Doth this more easily respect God or man?
A53696Eliezer did so, being his servant, but how could he ascribe unto him the sitting at the Right Hand of God?
A53696First, What are we delivered from by this salvation?
A53696First, What is man as to his extract?
A53696For can we find out the Almighty unto perfection?
A53696For how can any one be said to please, or attone, or reconcile sin?
A53696For if Righteousness may be obtained, and Attonement made without him, to what End serves the Promise concerning him?
A53696For if the Justice of God required that so it should be, how could it be dispensed withall?
A53696For is it not the work of Christ himself, to subdue and conquer his Enemies?
A53696For to what purpose should it be continued, when that was fully effected whereunto it was designed?
A53696For what can be more unjust, than to punish a man, especially eternally, for not doing that which he had no just or sufficient Reason to do?
A53696For what greater Honour can a Creature be more partaker of, than to be emploied in the service of his Creator?
A53696For whence also should it have it?
A53696For who would not love and delight in the eternal fountain of this inconceivable Grace?
A53696Fourthly, There is a punishment intimated upon this sinful neglect of the Gospel; How shall we escape, flie from, or avoid?
A53696From what spring, what fountain should it proceed?
A53696From whom can such men look for their Reward?
A53696Further, where are the Prophets, promised unto them?
A53696Had any other way been possible, why doth the perishing of Angels so inevitably follow the non- assumption of their nature?
A53696Had he the Power of Peace of any sort in his hand?
A53696Had they no Eye of old unto Spiritual and Eternal things in the Promise of the Messiah?
A53696Hast thou Love enough to wash them in thy own Blood, in a Nature to be taken of them?
A53696Hath he any need of him, or his services?
A53696Hath he at any time shut up the Progress of Revelation?
A53696Hath he not already conquered all our enemies?
A53696Hath he not alwayes kept the Church in expectation of new Revelations of his mind and will?
A53696Hath it not been by parts and degrees?
A53696Have not other men done as much or more for their Citizens and People?
A53696Have they Wisdom sufficient to enable them so to do?
A53696Have they found out some other way, or do they utterly give over seeking after Salvation?
A53696Have we not much more reason to be afraid of the Living God?
A53696Have we taken a right measure of what we have received?
A53696He expects a reverence of Praise and Glory for it: and how can we bless him for it, when we know nothing of it?
A53696He it was who pressed with a sense of Gods dereliction cryed out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A53696He replies, Whence is all this evil come upon us?
A53696Here lies our treasure, here lies our inheritance, why should not our hearts be here also?
A53696Here they reproach him, blaspheme him, despise him, persecute him, shall they escape and go free?
A53696How are all the Nations of the world, as the drop of a bucket, as the dust of the ballance, as Vanity, as Nothing before him?
A53696How are they defended § 6 from their Oppressors?
A53696How astonishable is this his Greatness?
A53696How can God spare sin in his Enemies, who could not spare it on his only Son?
A53696How can they reduce the Creation unto its Original Harmony?
A53696How can we attribute it unto the Wisdom and Greatness of God?
A53696How can we enough bewail that vanity whence it is, that the mind suffereth it self to be possessed and filled with other things?
A53696How could they say; Who hath believed our report, or the Doctrine that we had heard, and taught, concerning this person, or these persons?
A53696How deep, how unfathomable is this fountain?
A53696How do they say, For the iniquity of my people he was stricken, v. 8. Who are they when the people themselves are supposed to speak?
A53696How doth his heart triumph in, and rejoyce over the knowledge he had obtained of Jesus Christ?
A53696How glorious is the Sun in the firmament in comparison of a poor worm in the earth?
A53696How know they that any such Law was given to Moses as they pretend?
A53696How little can our weak understandings apprehend of this Majesty?
A53696How many poor souls otherwise weak and simple, have by this means grown exceeding wise in the Mysterie of God?
A53696How may they triumph in a glorious Prospect of this certain and unavoidable Issue of the Opposition that is made to the Kingdom of their Redeemer?
A53696How poor, how undeservable are we?
A53696How shall escape?
A53696How shall we escape if we neglect?
A53696How should it?
A53696How then doth he ▪ answer what they say?
A53696How then shall it be wrought?
A53696How weak and mean are the conceptions and thoughts of little children about the designs and counsels of the wise men of the earth?
A53696I ask, where?
A53696If as God, how could he be said to be made above the Angels?
A53696If he sin what doth he against him?
A53696If it were incumbent on Paul writing unto the Hebrews, to write in their own Language, why did he not also write in Latin unto the Romans?
A53696If the Covenant of those promises be not expired in the coming of the Messiah, what account can they give of these things?
A53696If the same mind had been in Christ, as was in us, what had been our state and condition unto eternity?
A53696If they are not, how know they but that they may command and appoint them things greatly to their disadvantage, when they think to profit them?
A53696If they like not of these terms, they may let the way of Christ alone; if they will not do so, why do they yet complain?
A53696If they say the former was intended, I desire to know when this promise was accomplished under the second Temple?
A53696Is God unjust?
A53696Is any thing too hard for the Captain of our salvation?
A53696Is he not able to subdue all things by his Power?
A53696Is it a small thing for a Creature to break that Order which God at first placed him and all things in?
A53696Is it because he would?
A53696Is it meet that God should be mocked, his Grace be despised, his Justice violated, his Glory lost, all, that sinners may go unpunished?
A53696Is it not He?
A53696Is it not a foolish thing to look for life, by the death of another?
A53696Is it not also, that they should come to him?
A53696Is it not as nothing in your eyes?
A53696Is it not because it would be very difficult to make any tolerable application of these things unto the season, which is called the time of the End?
A53696Is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
A53696Is it not just and equal that it should prove a savour of death unto death unto them?
A53696Is it not said, that he shall do so?
A53696Is it nothing unto you that heshould undergo all these things?
A53696Is it one thing that sins, and another that is punished?
A53696Is it reasonable we should attend unto you in this matter?
A53696Is not all pretence of Revelations utterly departed?
A53696Is not the Father Eternal but in the man Christ Jesus?
A53696Is not this plainly to tell him, that they despise his love, scorn his offers of Reconciliation, and fear not in the least what he can do unto them?
A53696Is our Trouble so small, are our Duties so ordinary, that we can wrestle with them, or perform them in our own strength?
A53696Is the Bloud of Christ such a common thing, as to be so cast away upon the lusts of men?
A53696Is the Earth its self freed from the Effects of the Curse?
A53696Is there any other Propertie of the Divine Nature whose consideration will administer unto men any ground of hope?
A53696Is there any thing in the Name of God in that Revelation that he hath made of himself by his Works, or in his Word, to give them encouragement?
A53696Is there no more required unto this delivery, but that he should come to them?
A53696Is this I say the continuance of the Tribe and Scepter of Judah?
A53696Is this only the importance of it, that towards the end of the world, many of them shall be conquered?
A53696Is this that which they desired, prayed for, longed for, esteeming all the Glory of their present Enjoyments as nothing in comparison of it?
A53696Is this the meaning of the Promise given unto Adam?
A53696It is glorious even in the Angels to serve the God of Glory; what is there above this for a creature to aspire unto?
A53696Man it was, concerning whom the words are spoken; What is man?
A53696Many of the People believed on him, and said, when Christ cometh will he do more Miracles then these, which this man doeth?
A53696Men in the neglect of them neglect and refuse their own salvation: and can any man perish more justly than they who refuse to be saved?
A53696Might not he have left us to perish in our condition, and freely enjoyed his own?
A53696More woful than to work out their own Eternal Destruction under the Wrath of Christ, in a business wherein they had no success?
A53696Nay doth not the Scripture in all places fully and plainly witness against it?
A53696Now how can this be obtained, unless we are conversant in our minds about them?
A53696Now saith the Apostle, to which of any of these, or of the rest of them, were these words spoken?
A53696Now this was done by the body of the Jewish Nation; they received him not, they obeyed not his voice, and what was the end of this their disobedience?
A53696Now were the Jews, that is, the body of the people guilty of these sins under the second House?
A53696Now what can not he do who is so?
A53696Now what is man, that this every way all- sufficient God should mind, regard and visit him?
A53696Now what pretence of peace had the Jews under the second Temple wherein all Nations were concerned?
A53696Now what were the sins of this people under the first Temple before their captivity?
A53696Now whereunto doth all this tend?
A53696Now who was fit, who was able to determine upon these different and various Institutions of God, but God himself?
A53696Of Gods appointment it was, and effectual it was unto them that embraced it, and why it should be laid aside who can declare?
A53696One Single Person, More, or All?
A53696Or can there be any greater evidence, that we have no Propriety in them, than that would be, if our hearts should not be set upon them?
A53696Or do we not complain without a cause?
A53696Or if his transgressions be multiplied what doth he against him?
A53696Or, Secondly, An Interrogation must be supposed to be included in the words, art thou but little?
A53696Ought you not to have that in your hearts as well as care of your selves?
A53696Quantum est quod nescimus?
A53696Quid argumentis aliunde conquisi ● s laborat author, cum uno ictu, unica naturae istius divinae mentione rem totam conficere potuisset?
A53696Secondly, Vnto what especial end and purpose doth God make use of the Ministery of Angels for the good of them that believe?
A53696Shall Christ die again that the despisers of the Gospel may be saved?
A53696Shall he die again for them by whom his death hath been despised?
A53696Shall he fore- go the glory of his Righteousn ● ss and Holiness, to please them in their presumption and prejudices?
A53696Shall he leave all things in disorder and confusion?
A53696Shall he obey, and suffer, and bleed, and pray, and die, for a thing of nought?
A53696Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A53696Shall the Son of God shed his blood in vain?
A53696Shall they alwayes prosper?
A53696Shall we believe the Angel or them?
A53696Shall we faint whilest Jesus Christ lives and reigns?
A53696Shall we go and bow our selves down to the Angels themselves, and pay our homage of Obedience unto them?
A53696Shall we make our selves Judges of what sin against God doth deserve?
A53696Shall we, to avoid the anger of a Worm, cast our selves into his wrath who is a consuming fire?
A53696Should it be brought forth and made effectual?
A53696So that Man hu is as much as, What is it?
A53696So that unto God asking that question, Whom will ye compare unto me, and whom will you liken me unto?
A53696So they have done in all Ages, so they continue to do to this day; and what is the issue?
A53696That is to his disadvantage: If he be righteous what giveth he unto him, or what receiveth he at his hand?
A53696The Father says unto him, Seest thou these poor wretched Creatures, that lie perishing in their bloud, and under the curse?
A53696The Introduction of the Testimony is by way of Interrogation; Vnto which of the Angels said he at any time?
A53696The Lord whom ye seek shall come, but who may abide the day of his coming?
A53696The holy God will do no iniquity: the Judge of all the earth will do right, and will by no means acquit the guilty?
A53696The manner of ascertaining the punishment intimated, is by an Interrogation, How shall we escape?
A53696The utmost of mercy and grace is already sinned against, and what remaineth now for the relief of a sinner?
A53696The words of the former place are, Who is left among you, that saw this house in her first Glory, and how do you see it now?
A53696Their Temple being utterly destroyed as well as their State, and their Messiah not yet come, what think they of their Sacrifices?
A53696Their power issued in the Dominion of the Romans, and their Vassals the Herodians?
A53696They all cry out with one accord, see you do it not, we are your fellow servants: What shall we then do?
A53696They are sufficient indeed in their own way and place, but are they so absolutely also?
A53696They cry, What will nothing turn these poor foolish creatures out of their way?
A53696This saith he, shall not depart from Judah, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 untill David come; and why David?
A53696This the Apostle insinuates in that interrogation, How shall we escape?
A53696This the Prophet intimates, v. 4. Who is there left among you, who saw this House in its first glory, and what do you now see it?
A53696This the intendment of the Promise made unto him, that in his seed all the Nations of the Earth should be blessed?
A53696Thus for the most part the first Question of a Romanist is, How do you know the Scriptures to be the Word of God?
A53696To that whose Greatness we can not measure, whose Nature we can not comprehend, whose Glory we can only stand afar off and adore?
A53696To what end should any man trouble himself, about that which is cast, as a fancy and empty imagination, by its own verdict?
A53696To whom shall the Gentiles be gathered to be saved by him?
A53696Vnto which of the Angels said he at any time?
A53696Was he the Lord of it?
A53696Was it at his disposal?
A53696Was it to be absolutely everlasting?
A53696Was it to expire?
A53696Was the Church in travail for so many Generations to bring forth this Fighter?
A53696Was this done in Italy before it was sent unto the Hebrews?
A53696Was this the End of the Call and Separation of Abraham?
A53696Was this the Expectation of the Fathers of old?
A53696Was this the intent of the Oath made unto David, and of the sure mercies confirmed unto him, and his, thereby?
A53696We ask them then, If Jesus of Nazareth be not the Messiah, where is he?
A53696We see not the depth of that malicious respect which it hath unto God; and are we capable to judge aright of what is its Demerit?
A53696Well let that be granted, what will thence ensue?
A53696Well, if we are unwilling hereunto; What doth the Lord Christ lose by it?
A53696Were they not delivered from former Oppressions and Captivities, by other means?
A53696What Rule of Justice is observed herein?
A53696What all this while is become of the work every where in the Scripture assigned § 32 unto the Messiah?
A53696What beauty or comeliness can he have in him, for which of them he should be desired?
A53696What can be expected from him, who is taken, slain, crucified?
A53696What can be farther desired to render it so, or to provoke us unto it?
A53696What can they do to restore the Vniverse unto its first Glory and Beauty?
A53696What else is able to look through the Unconceivable variety of Aggravating Circumstances which is required hereunto?
A53696What greater condescension love or grace could be conceived or desired?
A53696What greater glory than to stand in the Presence, and to do the Will of the King of Heaven?
A53696What greater honour can we have, than to be free- men of that Corporation whereof he is the Head, than to be subjects of his Kingdom?
A53696What if all these should prove true, and you should prove lyars, should we not perish for ever, by relying on your testimony?
A53696What instance of the like dispensation can they produce?
A53696What is a little dust to an Immensity of Being?
A53696What is a little sinful dust and ashes, before or in the sight of this God of glory?
A53696What is a poor worm unto him who is every where, and who is every where filled with his own Excellencies and Blessedness?
A53696What is alittle outward want and poverty, to the want of the favour love and presence of God unto Eternity?
A53696What is in this Messiah that he should be the Hope and Desire of all Nations?
A53696What is it then that the Jews plead, what do they expect?
A53696What is man, saith he?
A53696What is the Greatness, the Glory of it, that can no otherwise be discerned?
A53696What is the formal Reason and Cause of all these things, that he hates, abhors, and will destroy sin and sinners?
A53696What is the meaning of that Plea, that by Sacrifices indeed Remission of sins might more easily be obtained, but obtained it may be without them?
A53696What is the sickness of the body, unto the disease, yea the death of the soul?
A53696What is there in it suitable unto his Righteousness and Holiness?
A53696What is there in us, what is there belonging unto us, that is not suited to abase us?
A53696What is this better state?
A53696What is to be expected?
A53696What period can be assigned unto its duration, but only that of the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of a New Covenant in him?
A53696What promises are given unto them?
A53696What shall now the Governour of all the world do?
A53696What shall we render for them, and to whom?
A53696What shall we say then, is God unjust who inflicteth Vengeance?
A53696What should be the cause and reason hereof?
A53696What should hinder us from betaking our selves unto him continually?
A53696What then is become of their Messiah, who was to come unto them whilest they were so; seeing they were so by their own confession only for his sake?
A53696What then is the cause of the different event and success between them before insisted on?
A53696What then is to be done to prevent this confusion?
A53696What then remains, for the finishing of our course?
A53696What then would he do to his great name?
A53696What though God hath promised that it should be so; that Christ hath undertaken to make it so; What if it be required to be so?
A53696What tolerable Reason can be given for such an accumulation of Names unto God in this place?
A53696What wait I for?
A53696What was the condition of that House in those ten years, and almost half ten times ten years before?
A53696What word is there in the Law, or the Prophets, that they shall not be delivered out of Temporal distresses any other way but by the Messiah?
A53696What would they have poor sinners do in this case?
A53696When did any open their lips, and shake their heads at him, using the words mentioned, v. 7, 8?
A53696When did any part his garments, and cast lots on his vesture, v. 18?
A53696When was he brought to the dust of death, before his last and final dissolution, v. 15?
A53696When was he, or his blood poured forth like water, and all his bones dis- joynted, v. 14?
A53696When were his hands and feet pierced, v. 16?
A53696Whence comes it to pass, that the great promise of it doth utterly fail?
A53696Where is now the Covenant of the Land of Canaan?
A53696Where is the God of Judgement?
A53696Where is the glory of this dispensation?
A53696Where is the protection, the deliverance promised?
A53696Where is the voice of this Oppressor?
A53696Where then shall this poor Creature, so frail in its self, in its Actings, in its Enjoyments, seek for Rest, Consolation and satisfaction?
A53696Wherewith shall we come before the Lord, or appear before the High God?
A53696Who is that cast off unto?
A53696Who not overpowered with prejudice could once imagine any such sense in these words?
A53696Who shall be a Priest after the Order of Melchizedeck?
A53696Who shall be a blessing unto all Nations?
A53696Who shall be bruised, grieved, and afflicted by God himself, because he shall bear the Iniquities of his People?

A53696Who shall take away the curse that entered on Sin?
A53696Who was it that denounced death in case he so transgressed?
A53696Who was it that pronounc ● d him miserable, and the world accursed on the account thereof?
A53696Whom is it that they do despise?
A53696Why are they not delivered out of captivity?
A53696Why doth God thus threaten and curse sin and sinners?
A53696Why hath he prepared an Eternity of Vengeance and Torment for them?
A53696Why not restored to their Land according to express Testimonies of the Covenant made with them unto that purpose?
A53696Why should they look out in this case for Relief, seeing they have enough at home to serve their turns?
A53696Why then let them be so; but what are they the better for it?
A53696Will he lose his Crown or Kingdom thereby?
A53696Will it be any real Abatement of his honour or glory?
A53696Will they not suffer God to send his Messiah in his own way, but they must tell him, that it must not be so?
A53696Wilt thou make thy Soul an Offering for their sins?
A53696Would they have God unjust?
A53696Would this become the Righteous Governour of all the world?
A53696Young man, what is here the price of Swine fit for sacrifice?
A53696a Glory so much greater, as to be thus eminently promised and intimated to be brought in with the shaking of Heaven, and Earth, Sea, and dry land?
A53696a vapour that appeareth for a little while: What are the enjoyments of this life?
A53696and by the vulgar Latine, Quid est hoc?
A53696and doth not his Holiness and Justice require that so it should be?
A53696and how can he say unto him, Thou art a Priest?
A53696and is not the same evident concerning our Apostle from the interpretation that he gives of those Hebrew Words?
A53696and lay down thy Life a Ransome for them?
A53696and so the words are rendred by the LXX, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, What is this?
A53696and thy years fail not by Christ?
A53696and who would not believe them?
A53696are they not his, who hath all power in Heaven and Earth committed unto him?
A53696believest thou the prophets?
A53696by whom?
A53696can they name one since the § 7 daies of a John Baptist, whom they owned for a Prophet?
A53696can we by searching find out God?
A53696cause it to cease, render the promise useless?
A53696did he ever declare that he would add no more unto what he had commanded, or make no alteration in what he had instituted?
A53696doth he rest there?
A53696doth the Spirit of the Lord Christ rest upon them, ● o make them of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord?
A53696from the Time of his birth, or from the time of his forming in the Womb?
A53696hath any one amongst them pretended to any such thing, whom the event, and themselves thereon have not discovered to be an Impostor?
A53696hath it not been otherwise with them?
A53696how being a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedeck, or indeed any one thing mentioned in the Psalm?
A53696how did he like these Conditions?
A53696how mean, how weak, how low, how unworthy are our apprehensions of it?
A53696how much is it, that we know not?
A53696how the sending forth the rod of his power from Sion?
A53696how unsearchable are these springs?
A53696if the time be not yet expired for the coming of the Messiah, why are they not delivered?
A53696if they say it respects God; I desire to know, if he can pardon sin without Sacrifice, why he can not do it as easily as with them?
A53696in what Author?
A53696in what Language was it communicated unto others by them who first received it?
A53696is there none worthy in heaven or earth to undertake this work, and must it cease for ever?
A53696more miserable than to engage in that design, wherein they must necessarily fall and be ruined?
A53696must that give a rule unto its interpretation in all other Writers where it is properly used?
A53696nothing at all; not the least of use or comfort?
A53696or as Job speaks, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 how small is the word that we understand of God?
A53696or from whence should it arise that from their suffering it should be Righteous, that he should go free?
A53696or what Authority would be left unto his Law, when he himself should dissolve the Sanction of it?
A53696or what is he eased of by Sacrifices?
A53696or who is he that came in answer to the Prophecies insisted on?
A53696that it should be in their power to restrain all the promised ● ffects of them from the world?
A53696they render those words, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Why hidest thou thy face?
A53696this can be of nothing but of that which they are now forced to make use of, for that end and purpose, and what is that?
A53696to what end then was it written in Hebrew, when it was not to be used but in Greek?
A53696unless we dwell in our thoughts and affections upon them?
A53696was it sent in Hebrew before the supposed Translation?
A53696what that its nature is capable of?
A53696what then is become of that Covenant wherein it was promised unto them?
A53696wherefore do ye tempt the Lord?
A53696whose Gospel do they refuse Obedience unto?
A53696whose Ordinances, Laws, Institutions do they contemn?
A53696whose people and servants do they revile and persecute?
A53696why God should thus bruise him, and put him to grief?
A53696§ 31 But do these things answer the Promises made concerning him from the foundation of the world?
A53696§ 4 What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the Son of man that thou visitest him?
A53696〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 What is thy name?

A53696〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Why takest thou away the Majesty of thy glory?
A53696〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?

A27212Why must I stain the World, which would be fair If I were gone?
A27212Why must my breath defile the Virgin Air?
A27212Why must so many Spirits in ambush watch Onely one single Mortall Man to catch?
A27212Why must thy Flames which on my Bosome prey, Still burn, but not consume; O why must I Too, be no Mortall here, but with them vie?
A27212Why should proud Psyche dwell, as heretofore, Under the shelter of thy scorned Wing?

A27212〈 ◊ 〉 Wretch, cries Aphrodifius, what Has made thy Life so vile, that thou dost come To forfeit it to me?
A25202( 2) But what was it under the Law, to which the Intercession of Christ answers?
A25202( 2) But what was that 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; the impossible thing of this Law?
A25202( 2) What Righteousness was it that these Men preach''d?
A25202( says he) who would be afraid of running into debt with God, when he hath such a kind Husband to discharge all?
A25202384. he asks the question with some heat and briskness, what?
A252024?
A252025. we read, Who is he that overcometh the World, but he that believeth that[ Jesus is the Son of God?]
A252026. for is it not immediately added, — And that will by no means clear the guilty?
A25202A Doctrine is rais''d from the Dead?
A25202A Foundation for a Castle in the Air?
A25202A Righteousness of their own?
A25202A discovery indeed very surprizing: For if Natural Light, without Christ, could reveal it then, why can it not doe it still?
A25202A fine Argument if well Improved, to satisfie men in the Lawfulness of committing Adultery: But why not?
A25202Abel, Enoch?
A25202Again, what is it, that Christ has Merited?
A25202Again, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉: VVhat Concord hath Christ with Belial?
A25202Alas, one of his Wedges would make this little Knot flie at the first stroke: May there not possibly be given another meaning of it?
A25202An ● … what is it to be a sincere Christian?
A25202And I would further know, what the Procuring of a Confirmation amounts to more than a Confirmation?
A25202And again: How we can be Justified[ by Faith onely,] or indeed at all, and yet[ not for our own Works?]
A25202And dares he prescribe it as a safer way to keep up an Insensibility of it?
A25202And does not this sound more honourably for the Blood of Christ, than to say it only confirm''d a Covenant?
A25202And for all the Authors presumptions, I am well satisfied it was not the Ceremonial Law: for what if the Ceremonial had proved weak?
A25202And he has framed an Answer to another Question; What Influence Christ''s Active and Passive Obedience have upon our Obedience?
A25202And if not, whether the Church can contribute any more to his Union with him?
A25202And if the Prophets did understand them, how were they conceal''d?
A25202And in a word, Whether the Death of Christ be the proper and immediate Cause of any one single Blessing, great or small, of the Covenant of Grace?
A25202And in a word, if God can dispence with his Law, and indulge the Violation of it, what Reason can be given, why he may not dispense with all the rest?
A25202And is he a Christian that denyes it?
A25202And is it come to this?
A25202And is it possible that these things should hear ill with them who would pass for Christians?
A25202And is not this to Reproach Christ himself?
A25202And is this the great difficulty?
A25202And methinks, a great deal of Obedience will rest upon that Basis: Has he come into this World( whither none that loved his ease would come?)
A25202And must all men be Reviled and Persecuted with Scurrility, because they can not Jump just into his Sence?
A25202And must we then split against that Rock, and Interpret the place, by the express the sound of words?
A25202And now Reader, where didst thou lay thy finger?
A25202And now let us briefly see, whether our Author comes up to any thing of the Apostle, or no?
A25202And now the Question must be Trimed over again: Whether our Union with the Church, consists in a sincere communion with the Church?
A25202And now we may fairly presume there is such a Decree, so irrevocable ▪ so immutable, else how does the Death of Christ seal it?
A25202And now what comparison is there between these two?
A25202And now what if this will not denominate it a gift?
A25202And now who can be so hard- hearted, as not to allow our Author rarely qualified, to Reform the Religion of Christendom?
A25202And our Author Queries again, Why not because it will not stay?
A25202And that upon Peril of Eternal Damnation?
A25202And the Means which God now uses proves not Effectual to Reform the World ▪ And what have we got by the Bargain?
A25202And then may there not arise a danger that he should set up a Religion of Christs Person?
A25202And then, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; what Portion can a Believer have with an Unbeliever?
A25202And was God ever denied the Liberty, before t''other day, to bring Good out of Evil?
A25202And was that all the Reward that righteous Abel was to have for his Sacrifice, for his serving of God?
A25202And was that all the reward that holy Enoch might claim?
A25202And what could they desire more?
A25202And what in the Apostles account but Iudgment unto Condemnation?
A25202And what necessity of that?
A25202And what of a King do we spell out of all this?
A25202And what was their Righteousness?
A25202And what would you have the poor wicked wretches do?
A25202And who would desire to be more secure than Christ is?
A25202And why might it not have been said, that God set forth the Martyrs to be a propitiation through Faith in their Blood?
A25202And why not from his Person, in or by his Doctrine?
A25202And yet the sence of this way of Imputation is Invisible: VVas it not possible for God to pardon without respect to Christ?
A25202And 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; VVhat Communication can there be between Light and Darkness?
A25202Any particular Mercy, or Priviledge, or Blessing?
A25202Are these the Men that are content to be saved by Christ, without being holy, humble,& c?
A25202Are these they that were charged, p. 56. with trusting to the Expiation of Christ for Salvation, without doing any thing themselves?
A25202Are these things grown so inconsistent all o th''sudden?
A25202Art thou he that should come?
A25202As how?
A25202As if we were at the Old Childish Game of cross Questions: It was asked me, How many Miles it is to London?
A25202As such?
A25202At present I only ask which of these Terms it is that he will Duel, or will he throw down the Gantlet to them all, that we may have Battle Royal?
A25202Ay but( says our Author) what proof have they for this?
A25202Ay,( says our Author) Be his God: No doubt of 〈 ◊ 〉: But what does that signifie?
A25202Be it therefore Reported to the Judgements of all to determine, Whether a Mediatory King, be a Person or a Thing: an Office, or an Officer?
A25202Because it''s impossible we should be righteous by anothers righteousness: But why is this so impossible?
A25202Believe it, this is something like?
A25202Betwixt the Foundation of our Religion, and the Means of conveying the Knowledge thereof unto us?
A25202But I wonder why any should pray so earnestly for true Repentance and the Holy Spirit, if Grace signifie nothing but the Revelation of the Gospel?
A25202But Now what a happy change is here?
A25202But can we be so vain as once to imagine, that they understood not the Grammar of those words?
A25202But here our Author is at a Loss; he can not so well understand this: But whose fault is that?
A25202But how can Holiness be for our honour, in making us like God, when the perfect Righteousness of Christ would be more for our honour?
A25202But how can Holiness be ne ● … essary to Sanctification?
A25202But how can Holiness be necessary to the Conversion of others, when men may be Converted without it?
A25202But how can Holiness serve for the Conviction of Enemies, when it is not Essentially necessary to his Friends?
A25202But how can Obedience be for the Glory of the Father, Son, and Spirit, when the necessity of Holiness is so destructive to free Grace?
A25202But how clear is all this, if we could be reconciled to the Scriptures?
A25202But how shall we know whom or what the Iews called the Messiah?
A25202But how?
A25202But in good earnest, was not Jesus The Christ before then?
A25202But is holyness necessary on our parts?
A25202But is it really a gift, or onely called so; as Christs is called a Redeemer, called a High- Priest, called a Sacrifice?
A25202But is it so heynous a Crime, to weep at the remembrance of what Christ suffer''d for us?
A25202But is it so indeed?
A25202But is not the Righteousness of Christ able to save us, without an additional righteousness of our own?
A25202But is not this Idem per Idem?
A25202But is not this to Eke out the righteousness of Christ with our own?
A25202But is there never a Creep- hole at which our Author may escape the Apostles Argument?
A25202But now at what a weak rate must the Apostle argue to please our Author?
A25202But now what a world of wit has our Author shewn upon this Occasion, or rather no Occasion?
A25202But still, What kind of Cause was Christs Obedience of our acceptance?
A25202But suppose that all these expressions do signify one and the same thing: what is that one thing which they signify?
A25202But suppose there had been a Necessity of it, was the feud so inveterate that nothing but the Death of him that came to make Peace could take it away?
A25202But tell me, Doth this Election, and Redemption, suppose Holiness in us, or is it without any regard to it?
A25202But the Reason of it is not Evident: The Reason of the thing not Evident?
A25202But then the Difficulty recurred upon me, Why he should slip his Hold of the one, and fasten upon the other?
A25202But was not God always a Spirit, and did he not always teach his People to worship him with their Spirits?
A25202But what Kingdom?
A25202But what can be more evident?
A25202But what does this Belief of Christ to be the Messiah, the Prophet, include?
A25202But what if it signifies both?
A25202But what if these best Rules of Life were not so easily fetcht, as he imagines?
A25202But what is meant by Riches?
A25202But what is our Author''s judgment in the case?
A25202But what is that Righteousness for which we are just and accepted with God?
A25202But what is the Messiah?
A25202But what is the meaning of these supernatural means?
A25202But what is this Faith in God?
A25202But what is this natural Faith?
A25202But what now if they produce express Scripture, that Christ is our Righteousness?
A25202But what provision is here made, that God may be declared Righteous and Iust?
A25202But what then becomes of Free- Grace?
A25202But when the Soul is come to Christ, is this enough?
A25202But where lies the Evidence of this great Demonstration?
A25202But where may we find this Righteousness?
A25202But wherein doth this Morall Death consist?
A25202But why can not the Righteousness of Christ keep the Judgments of God from others, more effectually than the Holiness of men?
A25202But why is there no necessity of it?
A25202But why should it be so very hard to find a proper place for Obedience in these mens Religion?
A25202But wil the Son Redeem none but those that are holy?
A25202But will he reject and Reprobate all that are not Holy?
A25202But will he save, and reward those who do Obey for their Obedience?
A25202But will the Father Elect none but those that are Holy?
A25202But yet I can not see any necessary Obligation to Holiness, from those mens Principles, what should be the Reason?
A25202But yet why should we kill our selves for fear of dying, and make our selves miserable for fear another should do it for us?
A25202But you say, Holiness is for our Peace; Must we then at last fetch our peace from our Duties and Graces, is not this to renounce Christ?
A25202But( says our Author) This is the most that can be made of that place: This?
A25202But, 3. Who ever asserted simply that God could doe no otherwise than to require the Sacrifice of Christs Death?
A25202But, pray, what would our Author say to a Soul that has the sense of sin upon him?
A25202By no means: What then?
A25202Can he find no place for Obedience, and yet would he have a Reason for it?
A25202Can he justifie him whom the Law condemns?
A25202Can he lose a Member of his Body?
A25202Can not God bring Good out of Evil, but our Author must go Mad?
A25202Can not we design the Glory of God, trusting to the Expiation and Righteousness of Christ, but all Obedience must presently be excluded?
A25202Can she not look into the Temple, but she must peep into the Holy of Holies?
A25202Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots?
A25202Could he not accept him that walkt uprightly before him, without any consideration had of Christs Righteousness?
A25202Could he not reward sincere Obedience without regard to Christ?
A25202Could not God have promised to do all this, as well as do it without a promise?
A25202Did Christ instruct his Hearers in all things necessary to Salvation?
A25202Did Christ make a proper Reconciliation and Atonement with God?
A25202Did God procure Veneration for his Laws with such a cunning Trick, a Pia fraus, as Politick Numa did?
A25202Did he Die for sinners?
A25202Did he Promise, and has he sent his Holy Spirit to dwell in their Hearts?
A25202Did he lay a Narrower design of Love in Redeeming his capable Creatures, than in their Creation?
A25202Did it expiate the Guilt of Sin?
A25202Did you spie that?
A25202Do you think your Readers have all pored their Eyes out, as well as your self?
A25202Does Coming to God imply and import no more than the bare knowing of God?
A25202Does he Intercede for them?
A25202Does it signifie a real Inherent Substantial Righteousness in the Old, and a Ritual External Righteousness in the New?
A25202Does this chink like Universal Redemption?
A25202Dost thou stand chopping Logick with thy Betters?
A25202Ergo, what?
A25202Expresly?
A25202Faith, or Faith in Christ, signifies such a firm stedfast belief of the Gospel, as brings forth all the fruits of Odience: Therefore what?
A25202First, What Influence Adams sin hath upon his Posterity?
A25202First[ Hence] I pray whence?
A25202Fish of one, and Flesh of another?
A25202For if we are not united to Christ at all, it s a needless Enquiry, How, or by what means we are United to him?
A25202For the sake of Christs Personal Obedience?
A25202For this takes away the Subject of the Question: What is it then, wherein this Union with Christ consists?
A25202For what Reason is there why God should be less displeased with him, who believes the Truth, and yet will not obey his Commands?
A25202For what is there in sprinkling that answers to Ascention, or bears the least Analogy to it?
A25202For what is this Meritoriousness of Christs Obedience?
A25202For when the World would not be reformed by single Examples,( as ye know one Swallow will not make a Summer,) what did God doe then?
A25202For who could learn the special Nature of one thing, from another that differs from it in the kind?
A25202For( says he) what better proof can you desire for all this, than Express words?
A25202For, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; what Consent, or Suffrage will the one give to the other?
A25202From whence?
A25202God instructed them by the Light of Nature; and then, Quid quaeram foris cum domi habeam?
A25202God visits not my Iniquities upon me, but will he remember them no more?
A25202Great or Small, Spiritual, or Temporal?
A25202Had God a Partial Fondness and respect for Israel?
A25202Had Medaea Torn her Children piece- meal, and scattered their reeking Entrails, and bleeding Limbs about the fields?
A25202Had it not been a Prodigy as great as ever was in the World, if by Christs Person had been meant any body else?
A25202Has God then excluded the rest of the World from all possible means of Salvation?
A25202Has he endured the Displeasure of men, and( as if that were little) did it please God himself to put him to Grief?
A25202Has he given them the Holiest Laws, and the best Encouragement to Obey them?
A25202Has he revealed the whole Counsel of God to them concerning their Salvation?
A25202Has he taken our Nature upon him, and( as if that were a light Matter) our sins?
A25202Hath he a Sense of Sin upon him?
A25202Have we not all one Father?
A25202He has not dealt so with any Nation; he shew''d his Word unto Iacob, his Statutes and his Iudgements unto Israel: and where are we now?
A25202He retreats to a most woful Evasion, Is there no other possible sense to be made of this Phrase?
A25202He that performed equal Obedience, upon more feeble encouragements; or he that upon stronger Motives ▪ yet gave but equal Obedience?
A25202He that spared not his own Son, how much less will he spare the Sinner?
A25202Here''s another great Controversie, What[ having of the Son] should signifie?
A25202His first enquiry will be, In what sense Christ is called our Righteousness?
A25202How God could at the same time be well- pleased with Christ, and be so well- pleased to bruise him?
A25202How can faith in Christ, answer to the faith of Abraham?
A25202How can faith in Christ, answer to the faith of all those good men in former times?
A25202How can he prove, that God required ● … more of these good men?
A25202How comes the Law to be so weak?
A25202How did Christ remedy, and help us in this desperate Case?
A25202How is Obedience upon the account of Gratitude, irreconcileable to its consent to take Christ on his own Terms?
A25202How many thousands of Schismaticks will shrowd themselves under the Covert of that one Word?
A25202How much more shall the Blood of Christ, who through the Eternal Spirit offered himself to God, purge your Consciences?
A25202How often has the Wind turned in half an hour?
A25202How osten does God complain that they drew nigh him with their Lips, when their Hearts were far from him?
A25202How shall these then be Reconciled?
A25202I am sure the Reader is startled, and his Hair begins to stand an end: What, no Truth on Earth?
A25202I confess, I had thought, our Author had not been upon the Head, What Consideration the Person of Christ is of?
A25202I have one question more, answer me that, and take all: Is Holiness necessary to Salvation, as a means to an End?
A25202I see we are quite undone: If we say No, he has us on the Hip, and comes over us with a Why not?
A25202I wonder our Author could forbear twitting him, that he encouraged wilful and incorrigible sinners?
A25202I wonder when the Scripture will be able to speak so plain, that deaf men will understand it?
A25202If Iudgment begun at God''s own House, where shall the Ungodly and Sinner appear?
A25202If it was able, and had its effect, then what need of Christ to come into the World to effect that which the Moral Law was able to effect without him?
A25202If it was; then how comes Faith in God, to constitute a new and distinct kind of justifying Faith?
A25202If not the whole, then what part is the purchase of his Blood?
A25202If not, what made him so severely punish the Old World, for their Impieties, by a Deluge?
A25202If our Author understands himself here, it''s very well; I am sure some others do not: Does he mean therefore of all Mankind?
A25202If that way fails, another will hit: What Comfort is this to us( says he) that Christ was Righteous, if we continue wilful, and incorrigible sinners?
A25202If that will suffice him, which others must be glad to be sufficed with, he''s Answer''d: But why not the Common Gloss?
A25202If the former were not a Faith in God, how could it justifie?
A25202If there be no such thing?
A25202If they had no reasonable Service, why were they reasonable Creatures?
A25202If we have his blessing, surely he had our Faith: Or could Abraham get the blessing without Christ; but Christians no other way, but in Christ?
A25202If, Union to Christs Person be a Non- entity?
A25202In Isaac shall thy Seed be called, be made good in that numerous Off- spring that issued from Isaac''s loyns?
A25202In submitting to such conditions of Communion as are not expressely forbidden, the Question is, whether herein we submit to Christs authority?
A25202In the pursuit of which Metaphors and Types, perhaps he has a little overshot himself; and alas, how easie a matter is that?
A25202Is Astraea more than in a Fable gone to Heaven?
A25202Is he Dead?
A25202Is he the God of the Iews onely?
A25202Is he weak?
A25202Is it acceptauce?
A25202Is it easier to cleave a Hair, or divide an Indivisible, than to part Goodness and pardoning Grace?
A25202Is it false to it''s own interest?
A25202Is it he through whom their Duties are accepted, and shall not these Obey?
A25202Is it not great pity a Conceit so ingenious, should have its Neck broken at the first Encounter?
A25202Is it not vainly supposed, That for Christ to do us good, is inconsistent with being our Righteousness?
A25202Is the Doctor sheer gone over to the Remoustrants?
A25202Is the Soul that labours under the sense of some particular sin, a wilful and incorrigible sinner?
A25202Is there a sence, wherein the Righteousness of Christ may be said to be Imputed to us?
A25202Is there no Revelation?
A25202Is this the Fruit of Acquaintance with Christ?
A25202It appears not that ever there was such a Question started amongst any Christians, Whether Hypocrisie would justifie a man before God?
A25202It does so indeed; but does it tell us, that Holiness is inconsistent with our Iustification by the Righteousness of Christ?
A25202It may be enquired whether such a general Belief that God raised up Iesus from the Dead, be a true justifying Faith?
A25202It may be enquired, what Angel it was that Ordinarily appeared to the Patriarchs of old?
A25202It might be enquired, What inference he will make from hence?
A25202It might deserve Consideration, How far Angels are the Ministers of Gods Providence?
A25202It pleased the Father to bruise him, he hath put him to grief, he laid upon him the Iniquities of us all; what shall we say to these things?
A25202It will be necessary to enquire what that Law is, whose weakness the Apostle assigns as the reason of God''s sending his own Son?
A25202It will be of good use therefore to enquire, What way Abraham was justified?
A25202It would be considered whether ever God gave a Law to any People in the World besides them, that in its own Nature was a Curse?
A25202It would tempt one to turn Questionist, and humbly ask; If they were conceal''d before, how were they understood?
A25202It''s not very Intelligible, How we can be, or abide in Christs Person?
A25202Iustification?
A25202Keep the Commandments of Christ or no?
A25202Let it be considered whether an implicite prohibition from the supreme Lord be not sufficient to make a condition of Communion unlawful?
A25202Let none be so Hypercritical, as to enquire, Why our Author commences his Discourse, w ● … th, ALL ERROUR?
A25202May our duty expect a greater Reward because we come easier by it?
A25202May we enquire also, VVhether that Influence which he allows to Christs Obedience, reach the Mind of the Apostle?
A25202May we enquire, Whether what he allows of Influence to Adams Sin upon his Posterity, will satisfie the Apostles Intendment?
A25202Methinks we want his wonted out- facing Confidence: But why so hard to prove?
A25202Must it needs be Interpreted of Acceptation through the active Obedience of Christ?
A25202Must the Truth suffer because he can not see it?
A25202Must we content our selves with thinking?
A25202Must we now, to Gratifie these Gentlemen, renounce our Reasons, and say, that a Doctrine is the Head of ● … roncipality and Power?
A25202Nay, that he should expresly countermand the promulgating of the Gospel to them?
A25202Nay, upon the Matter, whether there be a Person of Christ or no?
A25202Nay, what if this be the immediate result of Gods Nature, supposing an Offender?
A25202Nay, whether there be any such thing as an Union with Christs Person or no?
A25202No Promise?
A25202No: Why not?
A25202No?
A25202Not possible?
A25202Not solely?
A25202Nothing done for us, which can not come under the Nature of a Law?
A25202Nothing to do?
A25202Nothing to do?
A25202Now I began to think thus with my self: Does the Righteousness of the Law signifie one thing in the New- Testament, and another in the Old- Testament?
A25202Now the Question is, Whether our Author has given us a true Forensick sence of Iustification, or no?
A25202Now then, what did these Angels appear to these good Men for?
A25202Now when he owns the Blood of Christ to have purchased this Covenant; the question is, whether the whole or some part of it only?
A25202Now where are your ears?
A25202Now, had it not been fair to have shewn the Iustice, as well as the Highness of Gods Displeasure in such a proceeding with his Posterity?
A25202Now, what is that which in our Authors New Model of Redemption by Christ, Answers, the Silver and Gold in the Redemption of Captives?
A25202O God the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, have Mercy upon us miserable sinners?
A25202O fools and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken, ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his Glory?
A25202O vile, and abominable heart that could form such a Conclusion of Sin, out of the premises of abounding Grace; Who would be afraid?
A25202Or Hercules stark Raging Mad, with the Centaures poysoned Jerkin?
A25202Or does it tell us, that upon the account of our own Holiness, we shall be justified before God?
A25202Or had he perhaps( at least in a Play,) seen Hippolytus drawn in Pieces with his own Coach- Horses?
A25202Or had our Author been Invited to Thyestes his Banquet, at the Honour whereof the amazed Sun muffled his face in Clouds?
A25202Or is Christ grown an Instrument of Government, as he tells us hereafter Gods Justice is?
A25202Or must we Renounce the Scriptures to Gratisie a few Raving Men, who are fallen out with all the World and their own Understandings?
A25202Or rather taken into the Fold, because he was first one of Christs Sheep?
A25202Or were you Baptized into the Name of Paul?
A25202Or why in the first and Old Creation did he design Angels for Happiness, and yet in the Second and New Creation design the Happiness only of Mankind?
A25202Or, Whether our Union with a particular Church, be the means to our Union with Christ?
A25202Or, wherein that Union consists?
A25202Ought not all that wear the Livery of a Redeemer, to pursue the great End of Advancing Gods glory?
A25202Our Author durst once appeal to the Experience of the whole world; will he stand before the same Tribunal, and be judged in this Case?
A25202Our Author will not say it; what then?
A25202Out of what Premises is this Conclusion deduced?
A25202Pray ask her then, Whether we may be Righteous without doing any thing that is Righteous ▪ for which we are so accounted in the sight of God?
A25202Prevaricates?
A25202Protection required not Apparition: what then?
A25202Repent, and believe, and turn from their sins?
A25202Say then: Shall it be Christs Doctrinal, or Christs Ecclesiastical, that is the Head of this Body?
A25202Say you so Doctor?
A25202Say you so?
A25202Shall he be crucifyed by me, that was crucified for me?
A25202Shall it then be Compounded by indifferent Arbitrators?
A25202Shall not the Iudg of all the Earth do right?
A25202Shall they be so Barbarous and Inhumane, such bloody Murtherers of Souls, to deny them the only Means of their Union to Christ?
A25202Sincerity in the one, and Hypocrisie and Ceremony in the other?
A25202So Idle is our Authors reproach, that they will not allow Reason to Intermeddle in Holy Matters: Can she not meddle, but she must be Lady Paramount?
A25202So he will: God hath commanded Obedience, but where''s the Sanction of the Law?
A25202Some cavilling spirits have made a Q ● … estion, How the Air and Earth could afford sufficient Matter for Rain to make an Universal Deluge?
A25202Tell me seriously: Did God, or any of the Prophets, ever say, I am the Vine; and then teach the Iews to discant thus upon it?
A25202That he must be made sin, have Iniquities charged upon him, to make them friends?
A25202That the Apostles attribute such things to the Blood of Christ, as are the Proper and Immediate Effects of the Gospel- Covenant?
A25202That the Hand- writing of Ordinances, was Nailed to the Cross of a Doctrine?
A25202That we are Buried in a Doctrine?
A25202The Cup of Blessing which we bless, is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ?
A25202The Doctor had said, That Christ hath revealed the Properties of God in his Doctrine,& c. and what would you now think follows from hence?
A25202The Grace of God, and the Merits of Christ are here assigned as Con- causes of this Covenant; Now if it be of Merit, how is it of Grace?
A25202The Husband of this Spouse?
A25202The Lords Supper is a Sacrament of Union, and signifies that neer Conjunction between Christ and Christians: Signifies it?
A25202The Means that God then used,( he will confess) were sufficient for that end, Or else how were they Means?
A25202The Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself; was it an Office that was cut off?
A25202The Question is now, Whether we must hold Communion with God in Prayer or no?
A25202The Question is, What necessity there is of Obedience?
A25202The Question then is, whether An inherent Righteousness be the Condition required of us and in us, antecedent to our first Covenant- state?
A25202The Question then will be, Whether we are to be justified by a Legal, or an Evangelical Righteousness?
A25202The Question will be, How much shortness of Obedience will this Sincerity compound for?
A25202The Reader is now satisfi''d why it must be so?
A25202The Shepheard of this Flock?
A25202The great dispute in the Epistle to the Romans is, Whether we must be justified by the Law of Moses, or by the Faith of Christ?
A25202The main Question here will be, What was that Righteousness which the Apostle renounces, from having any place in his Justification before God?
A25202Then this( Obedience) is not necessary at all to our coming to Christ, and closing with him: Not necessary?
A25202Then, Is it that Term that disliks him?
A25202There''s the Negative: And this seems to go a great way in the Account, How we may be said to be made Righteous by anothers Righteousness?
A25202They must both be reconciled to God; and what did the removal of Ceremonies contribute to that end?
A25202Thou man, where dost thou read, that the People of God put off their Hats, or wore Ribbands and Lace?
A25202Though the best way to resolve it, is to enquire, What way Believers under the Gospel are justified?
A25202Thus God,& c. Say you so?
A25202Thus it had become our Authors Excellencie to have shewn that it is, before he came to flie so high, at the Why it is?
A25202Thus was his Righteousness, the patern of ours; his Faith the patern of ours: And is it not a strange Copy that differs in kind from its Idaea?
A25202To beat about, and about the Bush?
A25202To believe that God raised Christ from the Dead, doth the same: Doth the same?
A25202To whom should the Death of Christ confirm the Truth of his Doctrine, to his Enemies or his Friends?
A25202Under what Notion did his Life and Death operate upon God?
A25202Understand the mystery of the Incarnation?
A25202Upon what Conditions may Christ be had?
A25202Upon what account, had God this particular respect for them?
A25202VVere they accepted of God, Pardoned, Iustified, for their Fathers sake?
A25202VVhat Symphony or Harmony, can there be in your Conversations?
A25202VVhich way shall they be United to Christ?
A25202VVhy but may not we be all Dead and Rotten by that time?
A25202VVould God give them any blessings for their Fathers sake, unless they walked in their steps?
A25202Very good, what needed all this Circumlocution, and Periphrase?
A25202Very true: Ergo, What?
A25202Was Paul Crucified for you?
A25202Was his Death a proper Sacrifice?
A25202Was it a Person who out of pure Lo ● … dyed for his Church?
A25202We must?
A25202We must?
A25202We ought not to think that we have no benefit: But have we the benefit of acceptation with God?
A25202We ought not to think that we have no benefit: But how shall we do to know what that Benefit is?
A25202We ought not to think: But what if we do think so?
A25202We will grant that the Death of Christ has confirmed the Truth of it more, but what has it added to the Procurement of the thing?
A25202Well then, supposing God to be averse from men by reason of their sins; shall this displeasure alwayes continue, or not?
A25202Well, But how does the Man himself expound the Phrase?
A25202Well, but what Reason does he favour us with?
A25202Well, hold your peace, I will now Irrefragably prove, Holiness to be a Cause, at least Causa sine quâ non, of Eternal Life: What say you to that?
A25202Well, let us examine whom this Text does press most?

A25202When we enquire( says he) what this Union between Christ and Believers is?
A25202Where''s the Sanction of the Law?
A25202Wherefore the Law was our School- master to bring us unto Christ: But did they make the Scriptures?
A25202Whether Faith and Repentance will unite us to Christ?

A25202Who would be afraid?
A25202Whom do ye say that I am?
A25202Why may not this Union with Christ signifie an Union with the Church as well as the other?
A25202Why not to have obeyed in Christ, to have suffer''d in Christs sufferings, as to be a righteous Person in my self, when there is no such matter?

A25202Will God Damn those who do not Obey for their disobedience?
A25202Will God accept our Obedience the more, because we have greater helps to obey?
A25202Will he Damn all that will not Obey for their Disobedience?
A25202Wilt thou dare to Contradict me?
A25202With what argument will he compel us to alter our Judgments?
A25202Yes, says the Doctor, hast thou a sense of sin upon thee?
A25202You will be always Jarring?
A25202[ 1] Then( though there be less need of that) would you know wherein true happiness consists?
A25202[ 2] If it be the Grace of God, or the Gospel, that accepts this sincere Obedience, then how do we owe this to the Righteousness of Christ?
A25202[ 2] It would be enquired, whether this Natural Knowledge was a sufficient means for Adams Happiness?
A25202and do they one and all give in their Suffrages against the Doctor?
A25202and escape a chiding?

A25202and is it all o th''sudden gro ● … a Church?
A25202and now we have got an Answer to another Question: What influence the Righteousness of Christs Life has upon his own Acceptance with God?
A25202and the Answer is, about the Means of our Fellowship with Christ: The Enquiry was, Which way we are related to Christ?
A25202and upon what account?

A25202and what need of Christ''s Coming into the World upon that account?

A13530can God see through the thicke cloud?
A13530can I euer be holpen, and swimme out of this distresse?
A13530could it stand with his policie, so visibly to assaile the Sonne of God?

A13530how many feares, and losses, and crosses( as rubs) will he cast in thy way, and all to driue thee from the field against thy sinne?
A13530how much more shall God our heauenly Father giue good things to his children, which he seeth good for them?
A13530how ought our eies to be continually lifted vp in holy and feruent prayers and praises, considering both our continuall necessities and supplyes?
A13530how stirring will Satan be to keep his holds?

A13530shall none come to heauen but such strict persons, thinkest thou?
A13530shall wee onely enioy the naturall vse and no spirituall or diuine vse from them?
A13530so he might haue said to Satan, What is that to thee, whether I be the Sonne of God, or no?
A13530so let euery Christian say, Should I loose all my labour, and that crowne of life that is promised to all them that are faithfull to death?

A39663And is it not so with those sent by him?
A39663And is it not so with you too?
A39663And is it strange that a poor deserted believer should mourn every time he looks heaven ward?
A39663And is not the Father of Spirits more full of bowels, more full of pity?
A39663And is not this a marvelous help to holiness of life?
A39663And it is as if he had said, O my Son, what shall be done for thee this day?
A39663And lastly, why did he ascend?
A39663And must it come to this Dismal Issue with you indeed?
A39663And now for which of all these kindnesses dost thou thus wrong and abuse me?
A39663And now our God, seeing thou hast given us such a deliverance as this; should we again break thy Commandments?
A39663And now what think you of all this?
A39663And shall I shrink for a trifle?
A39663And shall not all this engage you to God?
A39663And shall we not do as much for Christ, as we then did for the Devil?
A39663And sin, and confess?
A39663And suppose what thou imaginest, what is Twenty or Forty years when it is past?
A39663And then how had the promise of the Father been made good to him?
A39663And think with your selves now, was not this astonishing self- denial?
A39663And think you that they were idle on their parts?
A39663And thus you see what use your lives and actions shall be put to, and are these inconsiderable uses?
A39663And to how little purpose will be all that I have preacht, and you have heard of Christ, if it be not converted into practical godliness?
A39663And were not all these moulded out of the same Lump with you?
A39663And what an engagement doth it leave upon thy soul to obey, please and glorifie him?
A39663And what are the just aggravations of his fact?
A39663And what got he as a reward of his wickedness?
A39663And what greater evidence can there be that Christ set himself apart for you, than your setting your selves apart for him?
A39663And what had he spoken to exasperate them?
A39663And what manner of funeral Christ had?
A39663And what was the reason they forsook their Master, and left him to shift for himself when danger appeared?
A39663And what, my soul, hath thy carriage to Christ been, since this grace that wants a name appeared to thee?
A39663And when I had quickned thee, and made thee a living soul, what couldst thou have done without my exciting and assisting grace?
A39663And when he came into the world about it, with what a full and free consent did his heart eccho to the voice of his Father calling him to it?
A39663And when he had thus spoken, one of the Officers which stood by, stroke Iesus with the palm of his hand, saying, answerest thou the High- Priest so?
A39663And where is he that doth not so experience it?
A39663And whereas it is objected by some, if he fulfilled the whole Law for us by his active, what need then of this passive obedience?
A39663And who can abide in the fierceness of his anger?
A39663And who can discharge the Debtor, but the Creditor?
A39663And who can refrain from tears that hears or reads it?
A39663And who more persecuted?
A39663And why are faith and repentance prescribed as the means of pardon?
A39663And will he fail to make it good, when the time of the Promise is come, as at death it is?
A39663And with the vehement longings of their souls to be with Christ?
A39663And yet do you refuse him, and shut your hearts against him?
A39663And yet how few stir a foot towards Christ?
A39663And yet will not you live strictly and purely?
A39663And yet will you be careless still?
A39663And yet will you not be weaned from the lusts, customs, and evils of it?
A39663Are all these bonds tied with such slip- knots that you can get loose, and free your selves at pleasure from them?
A39663Are souls so wounded and prejudiced by their separation from the body, that they can not subsist or act separate from it?
A39663Are the fruits of sin like the fruits of obedience?
A39663Are there no mournings, meltings, hankerings after the Lord?
A39663Are there not many eyes upon you?
A39663Are they like those which the Redeemer suffered for our deliverance?
A39663Are they not privy to your secret wickedness?
A39663Are they not swallow''d up as a spoonful of water in the vast Ocean?
A39663Are you at any time staggering through unbelief?
A39663Are you at the very bottom, and not a man below you?
A39663Are you born of the Spirit?
A39663Are you fallen like the Ship in which Paul sailed, into a place where two Seas meet?
A39663Are you feeble and infirm?
A39663Are you not by them made partakers of his holiness?
A39663Are you not only turned Gods enemies, but your own too?
A39663Are you obliged or not, to this purity of life?
A39663Are you persecuted and afflicted for Christs sake?
A39663Are you poor?
A39663Are you reproached?
A39663Art thou too little touched, and unaffected with the evil of sin?
A39663As a Lamb for meekness, shall his Subjects be Lyons for fierceness?
A39663Aut argumentoram pondere firmiorem assensum cogit?
A39663Be righteous Judges, and tell me, whether you find an heart willing to forsake God?
A39663Besides, what pleasure in sin can you have?
A39663Bread and Wine are naturally fit to refresh, and nourish our bodies; but what fitness have they to nourish souls?
A39663But Thirdly, Whither did he ascend?
A39663But alas how oft doth advancement make us forget him?
A39663But are there any such in the world?
A39663But can you do so?
A39663But how could that be?
A39663But how durst he attempt such a wickedness as this, however he had stood in the opinion of Caesar?
A39663But how then should Christ have born the heat and burden of the day?
A39663But if God allow, yea and provide a sacrifice himself; how plainly doth it speak his intentions of peace and mercy?
A39663But if such a liberty as this be yielded, what may not men make the Scriptures speak?
A39663But then, whoever found him so, that tried him?
A39663But what is the finger of a man, to the soul of Christ?
A39663But what means this objection?
A39663But what speak I of your fearlesness of death?
A39663But what wilt thou do when thou shalt stand at the Bar and see that God who is thine enemy upon the throne?
A39663But where is that woman recorded, that gave her own flesh and blood to be meat and drink to her children?
A39663But who by dying can satisfie, and reconcile God?
A39663C ● jus modi voluptatis hactenus inexpertus sui?
A39663Can God exact satisfaction from the blood and death of his own Son, the surety of Believers; and yet still demand it from Believers?
A39663Can any doubt, if God have pardon for enemies, he hath none for children?
A39663Can any sorrows be greater than these?
A39663Can man thunder with an arm like God?
A39663Can not I be excused?
A39663Can not you find weeds enough there, that need such winter weather as this to rot them?
A39663Can such a sinner as I be forgiven?
A39663Can we commit the treasure to him, and not a trifle?
A39663Can we finish that which Christ himself could not?
A39663Can you expect he should gratifie your desires, when you make no more of grieving and displeasing him?
A39663Can you please your selves in displeasing your Father?
A39663Can you see none on earth in a more miserable state than your selves?
A39663Canst thou think on it, and not melt?
A39663Care you not whether they be saved, or whether they be damned?
A39663Christians, will you not all yield to this?
A39663Come sinner, come, dost thou make light of the threatnings of the wrath of God against sin?
A39663Come( said he) why do we tremble thus, do we not see our head above water?
A39663Consider with thy self man, how canst thou imagine thou canst support that infinite wrath that Christ grapled with in the room of Gods Elect?
A39663Contemn his rewards, take no delight or care to please him?
A39663Could God love us, and yet not be reconciled and satisfied?
A39663Could he get no other hand but the hand of an Apostle to assist him?
A39663Could ministers, could Angels have done that for the which I did?
A39663Could not he bear, and dost thou think to bear it?
A39663Could the Word have converted thee without me?
A39663Couldst thou go on in the way of Duty, if I had not led thee?
A39663Cur me non quoque torque donas,& illustris illius ordinis militem non creas?
A39663Cur quaso addidid bomo?
A39663Curet non me quoque torque donas?

A39663Did ever any of us endure for him, what he endured for us?
A39663Did he deserve a blow on his mouth for this?

A39663How wouldst thou have waded through the deeps of spiritual troubles, if I had not born thee up?
A39663How wouldst thou lay the design?
A39663I beseech thee shew me the cause of thine anger?
A39663I have neglected him a thousand times, and made him say, is this thy kindness to thy friend?
A39663I say, when such a Saviour arrived, O with what acclamations of Joy, and demonstrations of thankfulness should he have been received?
A39663Iesus therefore knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth and said unto them, whom seek ye?
A39663If God will be satisfied for our sin, before he pardon them; how then is pardon an Act of Grace?
A39663If I had heard no other preaching than this, what had become of me?
A39663If a child die we can mourn over our dead; but who mourns for Christ as for an only Son?
A39663If a man find his enemy, will he let him go?
A39663If a spark do so inflame; what is it to lie down like a Phoenix in her bed of Spices?
A39663If he have finished the work, what need of our additions?
A39663If his soul was to sleep till the Resurrection, how was it far better to be dissolved, than to live?
A39663If one man sin against another, the Iudge shall Iudge him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him?
A39663If then the question be, what manner of Judgement will this be?
A39663If these things were done in the green tree, in him that never deserved it for any sin of his own; how little reason have we to complain?
A39663If these things were done in the green tree, what had been the cafe of the dry tree?
A39663If this be so, what is the case of thy soul Reader, if thou be a man or woman, that hast no interest in this Sacrifice?
A39663If ye oppress, go beyond, and cheat your brethren, and yet call your selves Christs Subjects; what greater reproach can ye study to cast upon him?
A39663If you adorn it not with becoming deportments?
A39663If you ask how the union remained betwixt them, when Christs humane Soul and Body were separated from each other upon the Cross?
A39663If you ask what can we do to put our selves into the way of the spirit, in order to such a cure?
A39663If you confess, what need more?
A39663If you have read of any such evils committed by them, have you not also read of their shame and sorrow, their repentance and reformations?
A39663If you were to cast a Dye for your natural life, oh how would your hand shake with fear, how it would fall?
A39663Imployed in begging new favours for us to eternity?
A39663In a word, what grace is there this remembrance of Christ can not quicken?
A39663Is Christ dead?
A39663Is Christ risen from the dead, and that as a publick person and representative of believers?
A39663Is Iesus Christ thus enthroned in Heaven, then how impossible is it, that ever his interest should miscarry or sink on earth?

A39663Is he all for us, and shall we be nothing for him?
A39663Is he indeed come home, even to your own doors to seek Peace?
A39663Is he the God of the Hills only, and not the God of the Vallies also?
A39663Is it a dishonour to thee to be rankt with Abraham, Moses, David, and such as were the glory of the Ages they lived in?
A39663Is it easie to perish?
A39663Is it indeed an indifferent thing with you, which way they fall at death?
A39663Is it indeed worth no more than this in your eyes?
A39663Is it indifferent now to you whether God ever return again or no?
A39663Is it not a shame to a Christian, a man of faith to see himself out done by an Heathen?

A39663Is it not more for thy glory to receive it from Christs hand, than to require it at mine?
A39663Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?
A39663Is it relieving to a sad soul?
A39663Is it so vile and cheap a thing, as your entertainment speaks it to be?
A39663Is it the light of life, springing from Jesus Christ; that bright and morning star?
A39663Is not death the dissolution of union, betwixt Soul and Body?

A39663Is there no way to shun it?
A39663Is this so great an honour to Christ, to sit enthroned at Gods right hand?
A39663Is this the first straight that ever you were in?
A39663Is this the reward I shall have for all that I have done, and suffered for thee?

A39663It was Cain that said, am I my brothers keeper?
A39663It was a noble saying of couragious Zuinglius, what deaths would I not choose?
A39663It''s God that justifieth, who shall condemn?
A39663It''s much to pay a pecuniary debt, to free another; but who will pay his own blood for another?
A39663It''s true, Christ was sometimes silent; and as a deaf man that heard not, but when the question was solemnly put art thou the Christ?
A39663It''s well for present, but will it be so still?
A39663Iudas was a man of parts; but what good did they do him?
A39663Last of all Iudas said Master is it I?
A39663Lastly, Art thou one that hast through mercy at last attained assurance, or good hope through grace, of thy interest in Christ?
A39663Lastly, Did Iudas one of the twelve, a man so obliged, raised and honoured by Christ, do this?
A39663Lastly, How are they obliged to love serve and honour Iesus Christ, whom he hath enlightned with the saving knowledge of himself?
A39663Lastly, when was this compact made betwixt the Father and Son?
A39663Let him that thus objects, ask himself, whether nothing be pretious without pomp?
A39663Let them not say, how is Christ a Lamb, when his followers are Lyons?
A39663Let us be content( said Luther) with our hard fare, for do we not feast with Angels, upon that bread of life?
A39663Lord is it I?
A39663Lord may I do this, or that, or shall I forbear?
A39663Lord, by what Arguments shall they be perswaded to be happy?
A39663Lord, what shall I do?
A39663Lord, what will become of me?
A39663Love suitable to such love?
A39663Magna amaritudo peccati, quae tantum amaritudinem peperit Aug. Dam conspicis Dominum, té i ● ter mortales versari censes?
A39663May I hope his face shall be to me as in former times?
A39663Mercies of inestimable value reserved on purpose to adorn that day?
A39663Moreover, Had he not revived, and risen from the dead, how could all the Types that prefigured it have been satisfied?
A39663Must he not render to every man according to his deeds?
A39663Must justice be manifested, satisfied, and glorified?
A39663Must not the Iudge of all the Earth do right?
A39663Must so many of them perish at last?
A39663Must thy hands presently hang down, and thy soul give up all its hopes?
A39663My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, why art thou so far from the voice of my roaring?
A39663My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A39663My dear Son, what an hard travail hast thou had of it?
A39663My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God?
A39663Nay, moreover, to encrease the force and vehemency of this complaint, here is an affectionate interrogation: Why hast thou forsaken me?
A39663Nay, which of you is not better accommodated than Christ was?
A39663No need of marks and signs there; for what a man sees and enjoys, how can he doubt of?
A39663No place, nor people excluded from the benefit of this light; and shall I still remain in the shadow of death?
A39663No sooner did it shine into Pauls heart, but presently he asks, Lord what wilt thou have me to do?
A39663No, not for Angels; but for you, will ye also set your selves apart peculiarly for Christ?
A39663Nonne videnus capat nostrum super aquas?
A39663Now if the affection of joy under the word may be exercised, why not of sorrow also?
A39663Now to be one of this number, one of the twelve, what a dignity was this?
A39663Now who could ever have suspected, that such a man as this should have sold the blood of Christ for a little mony?
A39663Now( saith he) if a man thus sin against the Lord, by despising Christ, shadowed out in that way; who shall intreat for him?
A39663Now, if God have so freely given the greater, how can you suppose he should deny the lesser mercys?
A39663O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee, O Judah, what shall I do unto thee?
A39663O Grave where is thy Victory?
A39663O Lord how manifold are thy works?
A39663O Lord, why is it thus with me?
A39663O but what, and whence is it?
A39663O death where is thy Sting?
A39663O death where is thy Sting?
A39663O how August, and glorious a dwelling is that, where Sun, Moon and Stars shall shine as much below your feet as they are now above your heads?
A39663O how many thousands of pretious souls perish eternally, for the satisfaction of a vile body for a momen ●?
A39663O if the dust of this earth were but once blown out of your eyes, that you might see the divine glory; how weary would you be to live?
A39663O should not your lives be according to the tendency of your hearts?
A39663O then what assistances for a holy life have you?
A39663O thou old sinner, that hast lain these fifty years rotting in thy sin, dost thou think now to be saved?
A39663O what a Joyful sound is this?
A39663O what a contemptible person was Christ in their eyes once?
A39663O what a holy and wise will is that will of God, that so orders our death?
A39663O what a manner of love is ▪ this, that we should be called the Sons of God?
A39663O what cause have you to be quiet now, and patiently wait for the salvation of God?
A39663O what compare betwixt a point of hasty Time, and the interminable Duration of vast Eternity?
A39663O what lively, sensible, quick, deep, and tender apprehensions and sense of those things about which he prayed had Christ?
A39663O what shall be my eternal Lot?
A39663O where shall we find a spirit so ingenious, to take home to it self the shame of its own actions, and charge it self freely with its own guilt?
A39663O who can stand under such a load as this?
A39663Oh Christian, didst thou not see need of this before thou camest into trouble?
A39663Oh how great concernment is it, that Christ should have Vnion with our particular persons, as well as with our common nature?
A39663Oh how will that worthy name of Christ be blasphemed through you?
A39663Oh methinks such a thought as this, what if I am reserved for the wrath to come?
A39663Oh what a good Master do Saints serve?
A39663Oh what manner of persons should you be for heavenly and holy conversations?
A39663Oh what will engage you if this will not?
A39663One Christian is of this Judgement, another of that; but doth he deserve the name of a Christian, that dare once question this truth?
A39663Or are your afflictions more spiritual, and inward?
A39663Or are your afflictions outward, and inward together?
A39663Or as a Tree rived in pieces by the wedges that were made of its own body?
A39663Or hath not God shewn thee the need of it since thou wast under the Rod?
A39663Or have they found any such conceit in the Scriptures?
A39663Or how he enlightens and teacheth men the will of God?
A39663Or is your heart prest down even to despondency, under guilt of sin?
A39663Or only such as the Devils and damned have?
A39663Or our glory( which consists in being with, and conformed to him) where had it been?
A39663Or think ye that any beside you in the world are of your mind?
A39663Or were they not performed by him, as God- man?
A39663Or were they not planted there in order to exercise?
A39663Others indeed are bound to resist temptations as well as you; but alas, having no special assistance from the Spirit, what can they do?
A39663Ought not Christ to suffer, and to enter into his glory?
A39663Pray from which of all the Saints did you learn to be proud?
A39663Q. D. do you think I will deceive you?
A39663Quantum mutatus ab illo?
A39663Quas non oportet mortes prae ● legere?
A39663Qui misit filium, immisit spiritum, promisi ● vultum; quid tandem denegabit?
A39663Quid magis indignum, quid detestandum, amplius, quid gravimus puniendum; quam ut videns Deum parvulum factum homo se magnificet?
A39663Quid opus est ● rmis contra i ● ermem?
A39663Quis enim paulo nostro aut conscienciis bominum, altius intonat?
A39663Quis suavi magis, sed calesti vî, affectus in transversum rapit?
A39663Reader, bethink thy self a little; if thou hadst a mind( as one saith) to impose a lie upon all the world, what course wouldst thou take?
A39663Remember, death will shortly break up all your families and disband them, and who then, think you, will have most comfort in beholding their dead?
A39663Say, Lord, what have I done that so offends thy spirit?
A39663Say, Reader, can thy heart dwell one hour upon such a Subject as this?
A39663Second Query, Have you not been disobedient to the commands of Parents?
A39663Secondly, Art thou easily overcome by Temptions to sin?
A39663Secondly, But were they as good as their word, did they indeed stick faithfully to him?
A39663Secondly, But what did this man do?
A39663Secondly, Have you the power of godliness, or a form of it only?
A39663Secondly, If you must appear, are there no Accusers, nor Witnesses that will appear against you, and confront you in the Court?
A39663Secondly, Let us see how Christ rules in the souls of such as submit to him?
A39663Secondly, We shall next enquire how Jesus Christ administers this providential Kingdom?
A39663Secondly, What aptitude, or conducency is there in this Ordinance, to bring Christ so to remembrance?
A39663Secondly, What are the sufferings of the vile body here, to the tortures of a S ● ul and Body in Hell?
A39663Secondly, What evil was there in this their scattering?
A39663Secondly, Whence Christ ascended?
A39663Secondly, against whom doth Pilate give Sentence?
A39663Secondly, whence did he ascend?
A39663Sence of love is gone, sweet sights of God shut up in a dark cloud; well what then?
A39663Set fire, Hell fire to my soul, and withdrawn the siege?
A39663Shall I undertake to tell you what he was?
A39663Shall a zealous active working Christ, be reproached with idle negligent and lazy fellows?
A39663Shall he then be always at his work?
A39663Shall he work, and we play?
A39663Shall his servants be self- ended, and self- seeking persons?
A39663Shall the ends both of Creation, and Redemption of this soul be lost together?
A39663Shall we trust him with our souls, and not with our lives, liberties or comforts?
A39663Should not the Law of God witten in your hearts, be legible in your lives?
A39663Should the Eleven suffer for one Iudas?
A39663Should the Lord deal thus with any of you, how seasonable and relieving will the f ● llowing considerations be?
A39663Should these then miscarry and perish where shall my manifestive, and active glory be?
A39663Should you not therefore live a spiritual life?
A39663Since that tree was so richly watered with the blood of Christ; what store of choice, and rich fruits doth it bear to believers?
A39663Sixthly, And lastly, if Christ had not ascended how had all the Types and Prophesies that figured and fore- told it been fulfilled?
A39663Sixthly, And lastly, why did Christ ascend?
A39663Slight his promises, and deceive and fail his expectations?
A39663So are raw, young, and unexperienced Christians; but what if they do?
A39663So doth the gratious soul bemcan it self, wherefore am I redeemed, called, and reconciled; if I may not see the face of my God?
A39663So say I, thou that censurest or rebukest another, condemnest thou not thy self?
A39663So thou, where is the God of Prayer?
A39663Striving continually for an heart to believe, and close with Chirst?
A39663Suppose he should by his Spirit whisper thus in thine ear, as thou sittest at his Table, dost thou indeed so prize, esteem and value me?
A39663That backsliding, wandering heart need of all this, to reduce, and recover it to its God?
A39663That carnal heart need of such things as these, to mortifie it?
A39663That he should plant the Tree, and another eat the Fruit of it?
A39663That is, helping you in a gratious manner, with reverence mixt with filial confidence to open your hearts spiritually to your Father on all occasions?
A39663That the blood of Christ shall save thee?
A39663That their Consciences in the mean while work upon these things?
A39663That there arose not a Proph ● t since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face?
A39663That we may be with him, to behold the glory that God hath given him; and what heart can conceive the felicity of such a sight?
A39663That we will walk as the redeemed of his blood, shewing forth his vertues, and praises in the world?
A39663That you are the Lords Free- men in the Grave?
A39663The Mountains skipped like Rams, and the little Hills like Lambs; what ailed thee O thou Sea, that thou fleddest?
A39663The Son of the Blessed?
A39663The aspect of Faith upon this wonderful Person, how relieving, how reviving, how abundantly satisfying is it?
A39663The day of account also hastens, and then who will have the most comfortable appearing, before the just, and holy God?
A39663The grand inquest of conscience is; Is God satisfied?
A39663The last thing to be explained is, in what a capacity he executed his mediatory work?
A39663The next enquiry is, why he thus prayed and pleaded with God for them, when he was to die?
A39663The very reproaches, and break- hearts of their Parents; that bring down their hoary heads with sorrow to the grave?
A39663The wrath of a King is as the roaring of a Lion, but what is that to the wrath of a Deity?
A39663There the honour of a Christian was vilely cast away, as though he had not been anointed with the Spirit?
A39663These and many more are the pretious effects of sanctified desertion?
A39663They censure you as hypocrites, and will you give them ground and matter for such a charge?
A39663Third Query, Have you not risen up rebelliously against, and hated your Parents for chastening your bodies, to save your souls from Hell?
A39663Thirdly, Again, why should our Salvation slumber, when the damnation of the wicked doth not slumber?
A39663Thirdly, And is it not yet further incouraging to you; that hitherto he hath mercifully continued you under the means of light?
A39663Thirdly, And what need we seek evidence of this truth, further than our own conscience?
A39663Thirdly, Being accused before Jesus Christ, what will you plead for your selves?
A39663Thirdly, But what was the sentence that Pilate gave?
A39663Thirdly, Have ye the special saving knowledge of Christ?
A39663Thirdly, How it appears that Jesus Christ is the true and only Mediator betwixt God, and Men?
A39663Thirdly, What are the troubles of a moment, to that wrath which after Millions of years are gone, will still be call''d wrath to come?
A39663Thirdly, What were the grounds and causes of it?
A39663Thirdly, whither?
A39663Thirsting vehemently after Christ, and his Righteousness?
A39663This is the man, now what is his speed?
A39663This is the one thing the great and main thing he expects from you in this world, and will not you do it?
A39663This was looked upon as a bold and brave adventure, but what was this to Christ?
A39663Thou sometimes reflectest upon the state of thy soul, and enquirest is Christ mine?
A39663Thou that teachest another,( saith the Apostle) teachest thou not thy self?
A39663Thus far they are come, there they stick, and beyond this, no power but thine can move them?
A39663Thus saith the Lord, the heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build to me?
A39663Thus the Divels have to do with God, but will ye in whose nature Christ is come, put your selves into their state and case?
A39663To appear to you at last when so hardned by long custom in sin, that one might say, can the Ethiopian change his hue, or the Leopard his spots?
A39663To conclude, have you the Spirit of Adoption, inabling you to cry Abba Father?
A39663To see such ravishing sights as the objects of faith are?
A39663To see your selves disowned and lightly esteemed by them?

A39663To whom then doth it relate, but to them that were and are in bondage and captivity?
A39663To whom you have failed in all your relational duties?
A39663Unbelief usually argues from one of these two grounds, can God do this?
A39663Under the new Testament what people ever enjoyed such choice helps& means, as those that lived under the Ministry of Christ, and the Apostles?

A39663Was Christ so earnest in prayer that he prayed himself into a very agony?
A39663Was Christ thus used when he stood before the great Council, the Scribes and Elders of Israel?
A39663Was God cruel, to exact more from him than was needful and sufficient?
A39663Was I not thankful for the sense of thy love, when it was shed abroad in my heart?
A39663Was all he said before but a flourish, before he saw the enemy?
A39663Was he content to become any thing, a worm, a reproach, a curse; and can not you digest any abasements?
A39663Was it my neglect of duty, or my formality in duties?
A39663Was there ever any sorrow like unto my sorrow?
A39663Was there one, and but one of the twelve that proved a Iudas, a Traytor to Christ?
A39663We are crucified with Christ, what have we to do with sin?
A39663We have heard out of the Law, that Christ abideth for ever; and how sayest thou the Son of man must be lifted up?
A39663Well then, you bear the name of Christ as his Spouses or Children; and will you not live sutably to your name?
A39663Were not they all troubled with a naughty heart, an ensnaring world, a busie Devil as well as you?

A39663and besides how could he as Mediator, be the object of our Faith; and religious adoration; if we are not to respect him as God- man?
A39663and can you doubt of success?
A39663and is every temptation, even the weakest; strong enough to turn you out of the way of your Duty?

A39663and shall we spend our precious time in frivolous controversies, Philosophical niceties, dry and barren Scholastick notions?

A39663and that now God hath no more Bills to bring in against us?

A39663from what, to what was he now come?
A39663hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee, saith Pilate?
A39663here is a sic, without a sicut; so loved them, how did he love them?
A39663how have I escaped hitherto?
A39663how soon will it lay your consciences waste?
A39663if God take not care of me, how do I live?
A39663if it do not, what doth?
A39663in vain discourses, frivolous Pamphlets, worldly imployments, how little in the search and study of Jesus Christ?

A39663nor the wounding and disquieting your own consciences?
A39663or be so much concerned for what thine eyes never saw, nor didst ever receive the report from any that have seen them?
A39663or did you only complement with God?
A39663or why dost thou in this case imagine, what thou knowest not how to imagine?
A39663or will God do that?
A39663q. d. Have I been such a hard master to you?
A39663q. d. have I been a hard Master to you?

A39663yet how many remained still in darkness?

A41628A confused, suspense, reeling assent to evangelic Doctrines is very commun; but is not a distinct, fixed, deep, welgrounded assent as rare?
A41628According to this distribution of the real Objects of Faith, we may, with facilitie, determine, what are the objects of Unbelief?
A41628Again how little can the most of Believers acquiesce and rest satisfied in Christ, as the alone spring, and mater of their life?
A41628Again how many are there, who receive Christ merely out of Noveltie, to please their Phantasies, and satisfie their Curiositie?
A41628Again is there not an Hel of Blasphemie in Infidelitie?
A41628Again, Doth not Unbelief offer much violence to the Love, Mercie, and Compassions of God?
A41628Again, how are al the divine Attributes struck at by Unbelief?
A41628Again, how do others divide between Christ and his yoke?
A41628Again, how doth Infidelitie slander, reproche, and undermine Christ, the great Mediator of Life and Salvation?
A41628Again, how easy is it for men to be mistasten in their Consent to the good things of their peace?
A41628Again, how soon doth Infidelitie betray us into the hands of every Tentation?
A41628Again, if after al this men wil not examine and use the means to discover their state, are not such willingly deceived?
A41628Again, may we not judge the same of legal faith; which sets up the Law in the room of Christ; or at least yokes the Law and Christ together?
A41628Again, were his tears so efficacious, so influential?
A41628Again, whence springeth the excesse of unlawful passions, and the prevalence of domineering lusts, but from unbelief as to Christs second coming?
A41628Al would gladly share in the Benefits of Christ; but how few desire to have share in his Person?
A41628Albeit they had engaged themselves to Christ, by a solemne League and Covenant; yet what a crooked, perverse, lying heart was there in them?
A41628Although God may sometimes continue the means of Grace, yet doth he not withdraw his Influences of Grace from those means?
A41628Am I not rather under the Dominion and Prevalence of Infidelitie?
A41628And are not such presumtuous conceits, or rather deceits, the main spring of most mens commun faith?
A41628And are not such supplies, by so much the more pure and sweet, by how much the more immediate they are?
A41628And are not the termes on which al these good things are offered, most easie to any that is but really willing to be happy?
A41628And are there not a vast number of refined Hypocrites, who are guiltie of this defective Reception of Christ?
A41628And are they not hereby oft inveigled to wander from Christ?
A41628And are we not, upon this account, his federate people, his darlings and chosen ones?
A41628And art thou wholly for Christ, as he is wholly for thee?
A41628And as Unbelief at first opened the dore to al sin, so doth it not stil hearten, and improve al sin?
A41628And as the member is naturally subject to the head, so doth not Faith subject the whole soul to Christ?
A41628And can Unbelievers expect, that Christ should passe by such affronts, and indignities, without severe punishments?
A41628And can men be convinced of it, unlesse they studie, and observe the nature and workings of it?
A41628And can there be a greater law, than the Mediators evangelic law; which is composed of such sweet alluring precepts, and promisses?
A41628And do not a world of great Professors thus receive Christ?
A41628And do not al their lapsed seed naturally follow their steps herein?
A41628And do not men account him the most able Physician, who gives the best conjecture at the Causes of a Disease?
A41628And do not such soon grow weary of Christ?
A41628And doth he not hereby create, in many sincere Believers, much unbelief, concerning the things that belong to their peace?
A41628And doth not Faith hence worke a miraculous change in the whole disposition of the soul, and conversation?
A41628And doth not this argue a great conviction in their consciences; as also some faint, and languid inclination in their wils towards him?
A41628And has Jerusalem been alone in this sin?
A41628And has not England also slept securely under al Divine premonitions of coming judgements?
A41628And has not this also been Englands Sin?
A41628And has not this also been Englands great sin?
A41628And has the Unbeliever any reason to complain against God for condemning of him, seing he is unwilling to be saved?
A41628And have not English Professors been dreadfully guiltie of this sin also?
A41628And have not English Professors been notoriously guiltie of the same sins?
A41628And have not we been, in an high mesure, guiltie of the same?
A41628And hence doth not Faith make God thine, as surely as thou art thine own?
A41628And how many choise Mercies are Believers deprived of by reason of their Unbelief?
A41628And how much is his unbelief promoted hereby?
A41628And if men are willingly deceived in this particular, do not they willingly perish?
A41628And if they wil not, who is to be blamed, but their own perverse stubborne wils?
A41628And is England free from this Sin?
A41628And is he not engaged by Covenant to supplie you with al necessaries?
A41628And is he not extreme free, and cordial in his Invitations?
A41628And is it not thus with a great number of awakened sinners?
A41628And is it thy joy to see althings to suit with his end, though they may crosse thine own private ends?
A41628And is not such a languid, incomplete, feeble Wil, and Consent, a real Nil, and dissent?
A41628And is not the Believers treasure in Christ?
A41628And is not the difference between saving light and commun, as great, as that between the light of the Sun and of a candle?
A41628And is not this mater of sad lamentation, to see Professors prefer back and bellie, externe Pompe and Grandeur, before Christ and his Gospel?
A41628And is not this the grand design of Infidelitie?
A41628And is there any agreament betwixt a carnal mind, and things spiritual?
A41628And is this the sin of unbelieving Jews only?
A41628And is thy wil bended to a correspondence with his Divine Wil?
A41628And may not we in like manner, from Christs tears over Jerusalem, crie out also, Behold, how he loved it?
A41628And may not, in like manner, smal tentations bring ruine to the most flourishing Churches, when asleep, on the bed of carnal securitie?
A41628And may we exemt England from the guilt of this sin?
A41628And may we expect to be exemted from the like strokes of Divine justice, unlesse we lament, and mourn over our Unbelief, which deserves the same?
A41628And shal they be ashamed, or afraid to beg at the dore of such a liberal Savior?
A41628And then how inefficacious are they?
A41628And thence are they not as firme, and constant towards us, as the Temple is firme?
A41628And thence doth not God depart from the Unbeliever?
A41628And thence, how much is the soul satiated in communion with Christ, so far as Faith prevails?
A41628And they reasoned with themselves, saying, if we shal say from heaven, he wil say, Why then believe ye him not?
A41628And was it not thus also in our blessed Lords days?
A41628And what follows, but the miserable destruction of these wicked men, v. 41?
A41628And what follows?
A41628And what follows?
A41628And what follows?
A41628And what is this, but not to know the things that belong to their peace?
A41628And when that unhappy breach is made, doth not his weeping over her sufficiently argue, how fain he would be reconciled to her?
A41628And when they have found any imperfect good in themselves, how much do they recumb and rest on it, as the main bottome of their confidence?
A41628And when thou comest short of honoring Christ by Obedience, doest thou honor Him by humble acknowlegement, and Dependence?
A41628And whence is it, that many Professors are so averse from assenting to the whole Word of God?
A41628And which of you, with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubit?
A41628And why?
A41628And wil he not much more clothe you, O ye short- spirited ones?
A41628And yet al this while, what strangers have they been to a saving assent to the things that belong to their peace?
A41628And yet doth not faith trust wholly in Christ, as if there were no means to be used?
A41628And yet how vigorous and active is it in, and for the production of al sin?
A41628Are any Evangelic Unbelievers damned, but such as wilfully elect Death before Life?
A41628Are its Influences so venimous, and contagious?
A41628Are not Believers themselves oft very confused, and instable in their assent to evangelic Mysteries?
A41628Are not Christs armes open to receive them, when they come?
A41628Are not Divine Mysteries above the reach of a human Understanding, unlesse the Spirit of God come and clothe it with a divine Light?
A41628Are not al Gods Providences spirited by mysterious wisdome and paternal love?
A41628Are not al the Promisses appendant to this Temple?
A41628Are not al the faculties of the soul spoiled of their vigor, beautie, harmonie, order, and exercices by Unbelief?
A41628Are not al the great fundamentals and vitals of faith struck at by some, who would count it an high affront to be judged Unbelievers?
A41628Are not al their closures with Christ wrung, and forced from them, merely by the violence of a tormented terrified conscience?
A41628Are not al these so many false Christs, or imaginary Idols, joined with Christ; which render the reception of him defective?
A41628Are not al these the fruits of Unbelief?
A41628Are not al thine objections against believing presently, but the forgeries, and figments of thine unwilling heart?
A41628Are not such put offs a kind of denial?
A41628Are not the gracious offers of the Covenant most rich, abundant, and free?
A41628Are not the most of Professors extreme partial in their credence, or belief, of the divine Scriptures?
A41628Are not the most of Professors too soon satisfied in their own faith?
A41628Are not the most severe Plagues of God entailed on Infidelitie?
A41628Are not the offers of the Covenant general, free, abundant, and most affectionate?
A41628Are not the sensual enjoyments of the flesh, the pleasures of Egypt, preferred before the ravishing delights of the celestial Canaan?
A41628Are not those Needs blessed that secure us from sin, and make way for greater mercies?
A41628Are not thy debts to Justice multiplied by not believing?
A41628Are not too many, from the force of legal convictions, compelled to close with Christ, who yet secretly hate him at heart?
A41628Are the Remorses, and Stings of the worme of Conscience more agreable, and pleasing, than peace of Conscience, and the smiles of Divine Love?
A41628Are their Apprehensions, and Impressions suitable to the worth of those objects they believe?
A41628Are there not a vast number of seeming Christians, who receive Christ only on carnal Motives, and Grounds?
A41628Are there not many, who seem to recumb and lean on Christ for life, but yet really recumb, and lean upon self?
A41628Are there not multitudes, who would fain be estimed good Christians, and yet thus oppose, and resist Christ to his very face?
A41628Are these the effects of Infidelitie?
A41628Are they not as the bloud of a wounded heart, to use Cyprian''s phrase?
A41628Art thou a new Convert, and Beginner in Christianitie?
A41628Art thou an Unbeliever?
A41628Art thou brought over to a voluntarie, free, cordial, complete, and fixed closure with him, as offered in the Gospel?
A41628Art thou obsequious and obedient to the Spirits dictates, as to thy supreme Conductor and Director?
A41628Art thou restlesse''til thou attainest to the enjoyment of him?
A41628Art thou strong, and wel grown in Grace?
A41628As for the Promisses, are they not appendant to this Temple?
A41628As if he had said: Doth God clothe the grasse of the field, which is so fading, with so much beautie and glorie?
A41628As on the contrarie, how many are condemned by the World, and peradventure by their own Consciences as Hypocrites; who yet are justified by Christ?
A41628As the Unbeliever doth by his self- dependence deifie himself, so doth he not also by the same undeifie the true God?
A41628As to the Act, what Christs weeping here implies?
A41628As to the encouragements and motives to believe, doth he not shew himself as kind as kind may be?
A41628As to the motives of this Lamentation, What it was that moved Christ to lament over the Ruines of this professing Citie, or Church of Jerusalem?
A41628At least how fain would the heart admit the Law, as a Covenant of works, to share in that Conjugal Faith and Affection, which is due only to Christ?
A41628Ay, but how little have they of a chearful ready wil?
A41628Ay, but was it thus with Jerusalem?
A41628Ay: but can not, doth not their wise Father feed them without means, when he sees it necessary?
A41628Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression,& c. Here lies their main sin: and what follows?
A41628Behold your house is left to you desolate: Was not this one great part of Jeremies Lamentation over old Jerusalem?
A41628But can Infidelitie do such marvels?
A41628But can Infidelitie thus improve Mercies?
A41628But can the Unbelievers commun faith worke such rare effects?
A41628But doth al this satisfie Christ?
A41628But doth not Unbelief spurne at those bowels, by shutting the heart against them?
A41628But how backward are they to close with the Person of Christ, as the object of their fruition?
A41628But how much lesse are they able to trust him, in the fulnesse of althings?
A41628But how solid and deep are the Believers conceptions of spiritual Mysteries?
A41628But is it not quite otherwise with the true believer?
A41628But is it thus with Unbelief?
A41628But is it thus with Unbelievers, such as receive Christ only with a terrified, legal Wil?
A41628But is it thus with Unbelievers?
A41628But is it thus with al that pretend to receive Christ?
A41628But is it thus with the Unbeliever?
A41628But is it thus with the commun faith of the Unbeliever?
A41628But is this in the power of Infidelitie?
A41628But now it is quite contrary with Unbelief: How natural is it to corrupt Nature to trust in, and depend upon its own forces?
A41628But surely such an Implicite blind faith wil not suffice a Christian: yea is it not the worst kind of Unbelief?
A41628But they have not al obeyed the Gospel: For Esaias saith, Lord who hath believed our report?
A41628But was it thus with Christ?
A41628But was it thus with our great Lord?
A41628But what is meant by this seal of the Spirit?
A41628But when our Assent is grounded only on legal Threats, and forced convictions; how soon doth it wear off, and die away?
A41628But who is it that treads Judah, as in a Wine- presse?
A41628Can he that understands not the Propositions he assents to, rationally believe the same?
A41628Can it move regularly towards any object, without the conduct of the mind?
A41628Can not he put up any injuries better than this?
A41628Can then any punishment be too severe for it?
A41628Can there be a more forcible motive to gain the consent of a sick patient, than his Physicians tears?
A41628Can there be a more hainous sin than this, to meet Christs bowels and pitie with kicks, and contemt?
A41628Can there be a worse Idol than self idolised?
A41628Can there be a worse enemie, than that which deprives us of our chiefest good?
A41628Can they trust God in al conditions, difficulties, emergences, seasons, and things?
A41628Can things contrarie be united, but by some efficacious bond of Union?
A41628Can we abuse Christ more, than by opposing the good things offered by him?
A41628Can we be too severe against such a deadly enemie?
A41628Can we imagine, that the heart of our tender Lord, which was made up of such tendernesses, could forbear to bleed over dying Jerusalem?
A41628Canst thou be content to be nothing, that Christ may be althings to thee?
A41628Canst thou do much for, and yet trust in nothing but Christ?
A41628Canst thou take a whole Christ, with thy whole heart, and that for ever?
A41628Canst thou wait on, and adhere to Christ in his Ordinances, albeit thou feelest no sensible impartments of comfort, peace, and quickening?
A41628Could Christ and Sinners ever come together, unlesse Faith did unite them?
A41628Could any sober mind imagine, that a thing so deformed, and pernicious, should seem so amiable and desirable in the eyes of men?

A41628Did ever Believer need any thing, but what he could better need than have?
A41628Did every tear flow from a broken bleeding heart?
A41628Did he ever refuse, or look strangely on any that came unto him?
A41628Did he not frequently expresse great love and pitie, when he had the greatest cause to expresse severe wrath?
A41628Did men studie, and believe what an hainous sin Infidelitie is, how would they abominate and loath it?
A41628Did not Jael, a poor silly woman, pierce thorow great Sisera''s head, when he was asleep?
A41628Did not Judas, the Jews, and Pilate pierce Christ more sorely by their Unbelief, than by their acts of betraying, and condemning him?
A41628Did not every Tear instruct her, what a tender- hearted Savior she had to deal with?
A41628Did not many of these unbelieving Jews, whom our Lord here weeps over, approve of, and consent to him, as their crowned King and Messias?
A41628Did not this HE, bring her out of Egypt, that house of Bondage?
A41628Did not this consideration fil Jeremies heart with sad lamentations over old Jerusalem?
A41628Did our gracious Lord, who was himself void of the least spot, weep so bitterly over Jerusalems sins?
A41628Difficulties and distresses are the element of Faith; but how unable is Infidelitie to live, or breath in such a sharpe Air?
A41628Do not al the Scriptures testifie of me?
A41628Do not al the lines of Gods grace, and our duty meet in Christ as Mediator?
A41628Do not his tears accuse, and condemne our impenitent, secure, and hard hearts?

A41628Do not too many also pretend subjection to Christ, and his soverain pleasure; but really intend subjection to no other Lord than their own Lusts?
A41628Do not too many assent to the pleasing, and sweet offers of the Gospel, but yet dissent from the displeasing, and self- crucifying duties thereof?
A41628Do not too many awakened sinners choose a divided Christ, or a whole Christ with a divided heart?
A41628Do not we grieve more for the evils we our selves suffer, than for the sin, we or others commit?
A41628Do they not come to Christ only as a wounded person to his Chirurgeon, for a Plaister to heal conscience?
A41628Do they not immediately before v. 37, 38. solemnely recognise him as their crowned King?

A41628Or suppose, that God continues some means of Grace, yet doth not Unbelief turne them into means of hardening?
A41628Or, Wherein the Nature of Unbelief consists?
A41628Or, Wherein the genuine Idea, or Nature of Vnbelief doth consist?
A41628Or, was it not rather from the intuition of Jerusalem''s sins and sufferings?
A41628Others, as the way to Honors?
A41628Ought not the heart to be where the treasure is?
A41628Satan is oft the father, but is not Unbelief the mother of al Tentations?
A41628Sense of pain, or losse afflicts us: but how little are we afflicted with the sense of guilt and sin?
A41628So also for carnal presumtion, and self- flatterie, what a seminal root is it of false, or commun faith?
A41628So also, for al Gods works of Providence, how doth Unbelief draw a Veil on the most glorious of them?
A41628So in like manner may we not repute him among the most understanding Believers, who is best skilled in discerning the Causes of Unbelief?
A41628So long as Unbelievers despise Gospel- love, and Mercie, is it not just that Gospel- vengeance take hold of them?
A41628So much Content in the embraces of an heart- distracting World?
A41628So much Libertie in the Vassalage, and Bondage of Lusts?
A41628So much Pleasure in the Chains and Fetters of Satan?
A41628So much life in the death of Sin, and Hel torments, as to make a rational soul amorous of, and in love with them?
A41628So much peace and ease in the stings, and troubles of a tormented Conscience?
A41628So that can there be any thing more destructive to the Notion, and Nature of true faith, than such an Implicite faith?
A41628Tel me, mayest thou not be in Hel, before this hereafter come?
A41628That they expected the Bridegrooms coming, yea went forth to meet him; who yet never had interest in him, or the good things of his Kingdome?
A41628The Covenant excludes none, but such as exclude themselves by Unbelief: and why should sinners exclude themselves, before God excludes them?
A41628The Nature of Unbelief may be further explicated, from the many essential Defects that attend the Subject of this Reception?
A41628The Notional Object of Unbelief: or, What are those Notional things, that belong unto our peace, which unbelief assents not unto?
A41628The Peace of the Gospel is pleasing to my wounded Conscience; but are not the duties of the Gospel displeasing to my rebellious heart?
A41628The Unbelievers commun faith may lead him to please Christ in shew, but is it not al to please himself in truth?
A41628The evils that touch us afflict us; but how little are we afflicted with the evils that touch the honor of Christ, or his concernes?
A41628The lesse there is of the creature, is there not the more of God in al our provisions?
A41628The longer thou forbearest to believe, wil not thy heart be the more averse, and backward to believe?
A41628They boast of securing themselves, and obtaining rest in their fenced Cities: Yes, saith the Prophet Ironicly, you shal be secure, and quiet: but how?
A41628They disbelieve some Scriptures; and why?
A41628They receive Christ, but is it not only, as a Bankrupt entertains a rich Suretie, to pay their debts to the Law?
A41628They were al in hast to make him King: and why?
A41628This Lamentation of Christ over impenitent Jerusalem teacheth us also, That mans Ruine is from himself?
A41628Thou saiest thou wantest Grace: ay, but mayest thou not, by believing, receive Grace for Grace?
A41628Thou saiest, thou assentest to the Truths of the Gospel; ay, but doth not thine heart dissent from the Duties of the Gospel?
A41628Though he sometimes looked towards Christ, yet how little doth he follow that look?
A41628Thy word have I hid in mine heart: and why so?
A41628To believe only as the Church believes, without a right understanding of the objects we believe, what is it but to believe nothing as we ought?
A41628To give meat to them that fear him, and to be ever mindful of his Covenant?
A41628Touching the Object or mater of this Lamentation, What Christ here doth, and what we ought to lament?

A41628Was it not chiefly by their murmurs and Unbelief?
A41628Was not Moses an holy man, deprived of entring into Canaan for one act of unbelief?
A41628Was not this Jerusalem''s sin and folie, for which she has paid so dear, for 1600 years?
A41628Was not this Noble HE her Protector, and Conductor in the Wildernesse?

A41628Was not this the temper of Lots spirit?
A41628Was not this the very case of the unbelieving Jews, even from their infant- state in the Wildernes?
A41628Was the want of Reformation Jerusalems Church- depopulating Sin?

A45200Are we afflicted, whither should we go but to Cana, to seek Christ?
A45200Are we more orthodox, and shall not we be as charitable?
A45200Are we naturally timorous?
A45200Are we pinched with want?
A45200Are ye not afraid he will wrest the Scepter out of Caesar''s hand?
A45200Are ye now also at rest, O ye Jewish Rulers?
A45200Art thou come to torment us before our time?
A45200Art thou rather pleased that gross sins should be blanched, and sent away with a gentle connivency?
A45200Art thou the Prophet of God, that so disdainfully entertainest poor suppliants?
A45200As if that shameless man meant to outbrave all accusations, and to outface his own heart, he dares ask too, Master, is it I?
A45200At whose board did he ever sit, and left not his host a gainer?
A45200Because fools jear thee, dost thou forbear thy work?
A45200Before the Devil had spoken singularly of himself, What have I to doe with thee?
A45200Behold the man; the man whom ye envied for his greatness, whom ye feared for his usurpation: Doth he not look like a King?
A45200Besides his own, what favour was he worthy of for his Masters sake?
A45200Besides this undervaluation, how unjust is the ground of this doubt?
A45200Besides, how injuriously dost thou take this woman for what she was?
A45200Blessed Jesu, how thou pitiest the errours and infirmities of thy servants?
A45200Blessed Jesu, if as Man thou wouldst be made a little lower then the Angels; how can it disparage thee to be attended and cheared up by an Angel?
A45200Blessed Jesu, who are those?
A45200But all this can not deliver thee from the just blame of this bold subincusation, Lord, dost thou not care?
A45200But all this while what part hath the Moon in this man''s misery?
A45200But art thou, O Saviour, ever the more discouraged by the derision and censure of these scornfull unbelievers?
A45200But his domesticall fare how simple, how homely it is?
A45200But how gladly do we second the Angel in the praise of her, who was more ours then his?
A45200But how ill guests were these?
A45200But how modestly dost thou discover thy Deity to thy Disciples?
A45200But if Herod were troubled,( as Tyranny is still suspicious,) why was all Jerusalem troubled with him?
A45200But if without leave they can not set upon an Hog, what can they doe to the living Images of their Creatour?
A45200But is it the name of Elias( O ye Zelots) which ye pretend for a colour of your impotent desire?
A45200But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast?
A45200But now what a demonstration of power doth both the world and I see, in thy glorious Resurrection?
A45200But oh, what tongue of the highest Archangel of Heaven can express the welcome of thee the King of Glory into those Blessed Regions of Immortality?
A45200But say it had been what they mistook it for, a Spirit; why should they fear?
A45200But to man, how ever favourable and indulgent wert thou?
A45200But to whom dost thou make this moan, O thou Saviour of men?
A45200But what ails you, O ye Rulers of Israel, that ye stand thus thronging at the door?
A45200But what is this I hear?
A45200But what is this I see?
A45200But what shall I say of so sharp and imperious an act from so meek an Agent?
A45200But what shall I say to you Courtiers, but even as Saint Paul to his Corinthians, Ye are full, ye are rich, ye are strong without us?
A45200But what shall we say to this thine early hunger?
A45200But what strange variety do I see in the spectatours of his Miracle, some wondering, others censuring, a third sort tempting, a fourth applauding?
A45200But what was this other, then to serve a Prentiship in the house of bondage?
A45200But what?
A45200But where wert thou, O Blessed Jesu, for the space of these three days?
A45200But whither then, O whither dost thou carry that blessed burthen, by which thy self and the world are upholden?
A45200But who can tell whether that silence or this answer be more grievous?
A45200But whom do I see wondering?
A45200But why didst thou curse a poor Tree for the want of that fruit which the season yielded not?
A45200But why didst thou not, O Centurion, rather bring thy Servant to Christ for cure, then sue for him absent?
A45200But why then, O Saviour, why didst thou thus inquire, thus expostulate?
A45200But why to them?
A45200But, O Blessed Virgin, who can express the sorrows of thy perplexed soul, wben all that evening- search could afford thee no news of thy Son Jesus?
A45200But, O Saviour, how doth this agree?
A45200But, O Saviour, may I presume to ask what this is to thee?
A45200But, O Saviour, whilst thou dignifiest them in thy grant, dost thou disparage thy self in thy denial?
A45200But, O fond Herod, what needed this unjust scrupulousness?
A45200By whose hands perished the Prophets?
A45200Can I bring him back again?
A45200Can I chuse but wonder how Peter could thus strike unwounded?
A45200Can men be so sottish, to think that the vowed enemy of their souls can offer them a bait without an hook?
A45200Can neither the silence of Christ nor his denial silence her?
A45200Can not he, in whose hands are the issues of death, bring her back again?
A45200Can they begin their will, In Dei nomine, Amen; and give nothing to God?
A45200Can we bequeath our Souls to Christ in Heaven, and give nothing to his Lims on earth?
A45200Can we marvell that Zacchaeus received Christ joyfully?
A45200Can ye so converse with leud good- fellows, as that ye repress their sins, redress their exorbitances, win them to God?
A45200Canst thou be so injurious to me as to think I yield, because I want aid to resist?
A45200Canst thou be so weak as to imagine that this Suffering of mine is not free and voluntary?
A45200Canst thou distrust the certainty of that dreadfull menace of vengeance?
A45200Canst thou dream waking, thus to avoid the charge of thy wife''s dream?
A45200Canst thou love those thou regardest not?
A45200Could Joseph now chuse but think, Is this the King that must save Israel, that needs to be saved by me?
A45200Could she be in a safer place then before the Tribunall of a Saviour?
A45200Could there be a meaner?
A45200Could there be a more just cause wherein to draw his sword then in thy quarrell?
A45200Could there be an affection more worth incouragement then the love to such a Master?
A45200Could thy fellows see such a demonstration of Power and Goodness with unrelenting hearts?
A45200Could we but speak for our selves, as this Captain did for his servant, what could we possibly want?
A45200Could ye suppose that I would condemn any man unheard?
A45200Did I fly upon thee otherwise then with my prayers and tears?
A45200Did I not once before call thee Satan, for suggesting to me this immunity from my Passion?
A45200Did I snarl or bark at thee, when I called thee the Son of David?
A45200Did John take the ear and heart of Herod, and doth Herod bind the hands and feet of John?
A45200Did ever any man that ran for a prize say, I will keep up with the rest?
A45200Did they not run from thee?
A45200Did ye not live( many of you) to see your City buried in ashes, and drowned in bloud?
A45200Didst thou call for fire from Heaven upon them?
A45200Didst thou not see how easy it had been for me to have blown away these poor forces of my adversaries?
A45200Do we find our selves haunted with the familiar Devills of Pride, Self- love, Sensuall desires, Unbelief?
A45200Do we groan on the bed of our sickness, and languishing in pain complain of long hours and weary sides?
A45200Do we pray to thee?
A45200Do we think she spared her search?
A45200Do ye complain of the Blindness of your Ignorance?
A45200Do ye long to be stained with bloud, with the bloud of God?
A45200Do ye not now see that he who made your heart, knows it, and anticipates your fond thoughts with the same breath?
A45200Do ye pretend Holiness, and urge so injurious a violence?
A45200Do ye think that S. Paul''s rule, Non in comessationibus& ebrietate, not in surfeiting and drunkenness, was for work- days onely?
A45200Do ye thus part with your no less meek then glorious King?
A45200Do ye thus requite the Lord, O ye foolish people and unjust?
A45200Do you think I may take your complaint for a crime?
A45200Dost thou ask of one; when thou art pressed by many?
A45200Dost thou challenge the Lord of Heaven and earth of incogitancy and neglect?
A45200Dost thou go about to hinder thine own and the whole world''s Redemption?
A45200Dost thou know, Pilate, who we are?
A45200Dost thou take upon thee to prescribe unto that infinite Wisedom, in stead of receiving directions from him?
A45200Doth God''s poor Church goe to wreck, whilst the ploughers ploughing on her back make long furrows?
A45200Doth he not know that if he be not foremost, he loseth?
A45200Doth he not rather snatch this sword out of that impure hand, and beat Satan with the weapon which he abuseth?
A45200Doth he take upon him to make wine for the marriage- feast of Cana?
A45200Doth he take upon him to prepare a table for his Israel in the desart?
A45200Doth he wilfully imprison whom he gladly heard?
A45200Doth so small a Gnat stick in your throats, whilst ye swallow such a Camel of flagitious wickedness?
A45200Doth this Holy man mean thus to quench our feast, and cool our stomacks?
A45200Doubtless they went first to the Court; where else should they ask for a King?
A45200Durst I have set my foot where he did?
A45200Elias did so; why not we?
A45200Even Pilate begins justly, What accusation bring you against this man?
A45200Even so, O Blessed Jesu, how ambitiously should we follow thee with the paces of Love and Faith, and aspire towards thy Glory?
A45200Even that had been a cruel mercy from him; for what evil hadst thou done?
A45200Even we weak men, what can we stick at where we love?
A45200Even when thou hast found us, how hardly do we follow thee?
A45200Ever Lepers will flock to their fellows: where shall we find one spiritual Leper alone?
A45200Every day may we hear him in our streets, and yet be as new to seek as these Citizens of Jerusalem; Who is this?
A45200Every good gift and every perfect giving come down from above: how can we look off from that place whence we receive all good?
A45200Fear not?
A45200Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde?
A45200For how should Christ both depart at Jerusalem, and stay in the Mount?
A45200For them; What reward shall be given to thee, thou false tongue?
A45200For what womb can conceive thee, and not partake of thee?
A45200From the mountain wert thou taken up; and what but Heaven is above the hills?
A45200HOW different, how contrary are our conditions here upon earth?
A45200HOW troublesome did the people''s importunity seem to Jairus?
A45200Had I stood by and heard them, should I not have said, What holy, honest, conscionable men are these?
A45200Had he not begotten many children of her, as the pledges of their love?
A45200Had he not chosen her out of all the earth?
A45200Had he pleased to resist, how easily had he with one breath blown thee and thy complices down into their Hell?
A45200Had it not been easie for thee( O Saviour) to have acquit thy self from Herod a thousand ways?
A45200Had not Satan tempted thee, how shouldst thou have overcome?
A45200Had not he been a wise Disciple that should have envied the great favour done to Judas, and have stomacked his own preterition?
A45200Had not that thy Divine Master foretold thee with the rest that he must be crucified, and the third day rise again?
A45200Had not thine entrance been recorded for strange and supernaturall, why was thy standing in the midst noted before thy passage into the room?
A45200Had our Saviour said in plain terms, Simon, whether dost thou or this sinner love me more?
A45200Had these holy women known their Jesus to be alive, how had they hasted, who made such speed to doe their last offices to his sacred Corps?
A45200Had they had victuals, they had not called for a dismission; and not having, how should they give?
A45200Had this duty been neglected, what clamours had been raised by his emulous adversaries?
A45200Had thy God left thee?
A45200Had thy fear put thee to so long a flight, that as yet thou wert not returned to thy fellows?
A45200Had we been in the stead of this Publican, how would our hearts have leapt within us for joy of such a presence?
A45200Had ye said, Why would he not?
A45200Hadst thou gone sooner, and prevented the death, who had known whether strength of Nature, and not thy miraculous power, had done it?
A45200Hast thou disregarded thy Blessed self, to save them?
A45200Hast thou refused all Glory, to put on shame and misery for their sakes?
A45200Hast thou said, Not Heaven, but Earth; not Sovereignty, but Service; not the Gentile, but the Jew?
A45200Hast thou yet enough?
A45200Hath Pilate enough served your envy and revenge?
A45200Hath not God made the wisedome of the world foolishness?
A45200Hath not this poor woman yet done?
A45200Have I not given to thee and to the world many undeniable proofs of my Omnipotence?
A45200Have they made their Mammon their God, in stead of making friends with their Mammon to God?
A45200Have we piped at so many Funerals, and seen and lamented so many Corpses, and can not we distinguish betwixt Sleep and Death?
A45200Have ye onely a postern to go to Heaven by your selves, where- through ye can go, besides the foolishness of Preaching?
A45200Have ye yet enough of that bloud which ye called for upon your selves and your children?
A45200He can not, he dare not say, What hast thou to doe with me?
A45200He could as well have multiplied the loaves whole; why would he rather doe it in the breaking?
A45200He is but in his trade, whilst he is bartering even for his Master; What will ye give me?
A45200He is gone: can it trouble you to know you have an Advocate in Heaven?
A45200He saith not, I came with these men, with them I will goe; if they will return, I will accompany them; if not, what should I goe alone?
A45200He that commands us to honour Father and Mother, doth he disdain her whose flesh he took?
A45200He that could give himself life, can more easily take mine: how can I escape the hands of a now- immortal and impassible avenger?
A45200He that had humility enough to kneel to the Son of God, hath boldness enough to expostulate; Art thou come to torment us before our time?
A45200He that knew all their thoughts afar off, yet, as if he had been a stranger to their purposes, asks, What wouldst thou?
A45200He that knew all things, asks questions; How long hath he been so?
A45200He that said once, Who touched me?
A45200He that sent word to John for great news, that the poor receive the Gospel, said also, How hard is it for a rich man to enter into heaven?
A45200He that was sanctified in the womb, born and conceived with so much note and miracle,( What manner of child shall this be?)
A45200He wanted not malice and presumption to assault thee?
A45200He was condemned that increased not the summe concredited to him: what shall become of him that lawlesly impairs it?
A45200He was then stone- blind; what distinction could he yet make of persons, of actions?
A45200He who before had said, If this man were a Prophet, he would have known what manner of Woman this is, now hears, Seest thou this Woman?
A45200He whose sweet mildness and mercy never sent away any suppliant discontented, doth he onely frown upon her that bare him?
A45200Her Son and Saviour is her monitour, out of his Divine love reforming her natural: How is it that ye sought me?
A45200Her former tears said, Who shall deliver me from this body of death?
A45200Her modesty and her tears bewray her change: and if she be changed, why is she censured for what she is not?
A45200Here are the mouths, but where is the meat?
A45200His Obedience drew him up to that bloudy Feast, wherein himself was sacrificed; how much more now, that he might sacrifice?
A45200Hospital, in the glad entertainment of Jesus and his train; Pious, in their Devotions; Unanimous, in their mutual Concord?
A45200How God fits lewd men with restraints?
A45200How I envy those locks that were graced with the touch of those sacred feet; but much more those lips that kissed them?
A45200How am I thine, if I be not risen?
A45200How apt are we, if thou dost never so little vary from our apprehensions, to mis- know thee, and to wrong our selves by our mis- opinions?
A45200How are their sleeps broken with cares?
A45200How art thou faln from heaven, O Lucifer?
A45200How basely therefore dost thou speak of chaffering for him whose the world was?
A45200How beautifull do the feet of those deserve to be, who bring the glad tidings of peace and Salvation?
A45200How boldly may we spit in the faces of all the impure Adversaries of Wedlock, when the Son of God pleases to honour it?
A45200How boldly should we come to the throne of Grace, in respect of the grace of that throne?
A45200How boldly therefore may we go unto the Throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace of help in time of need?
A45200How bounteously open were their hands to the house of God?
A45200How camest thou, O Saviour, to be thus tempted?
A45200How can God bless us, if we implore him not?
A45200How can I be enough sensible of my own stripes?
A45200How can I look for favour, whilst I return rebellion?
A45200How can I now fear a conquered enemy?
A45200How can Joy but enter into her heart, out of whose womb shall come Salvation?
A45200How can it trouble us to be rejected of the world, which is not ours?
A45200How can my heart but tremble to hear this suit from the Captain of our Salvation?
A45200How can she chuse but think, If I have offended, why was I not secretly taxed for it in a sisterly familiarity?
A45200How can these Jews but either believe, or be made inexcusable in not believing?
A45200How can we be abased low enough for thee,( O Saviour) that hast thus neglected thy self for us?
A45200How can we be unwelcome to thee, if we come with tears in our eyes, faith in our hearts, restitution in our hands?
A45200How can we doe or will without him?
A45200How can we either fear danger, or complain of solitariness, whilst we have so unseparable, so glorious Companions?
A45200How can we either neglect means, or despise homeliness, when thou the God of all the World wouldst stoop to the suit of so poor a provision?
A45200How can we ever enough magnifie thy Mercy, who takest no pleasure in the death of a sinner?
A45200How can we hope ever to be transfigured from a lump of corrupt flesh, if we do not ascend and pray?
A45200How can we hope he should be sparing of false boasts, and of unreasonable promises unto us, when he dares offer Kingdoms to him by whom Kings reign?
A45200How can we profess him a God, and doubt of his power?
A45200How can we profess him a Saviour, and doubt of his will?
A45200How can we then enough love and praise thy mercy, O thou preserver of men?
A45200How can we want Blessings, when so many cords draw them down upon our heads?
A45200How can ye now, O ye cavillers, except at that title, which ye shall see irrefragably justified?
A45200How canst thou but come to us in vengeance, if we come not down to entertain thee in a thankfull obedience?
A45200How captious a word is this?
A45200How carefully frugal should we be in the notice, account, usage of God''s several favours, since his bounty sets all his gifts upon the file?
A45200How carefully should we avoid those actions which may ever stain us?
A45200How carefully should we furnish our selves with this powerfull munition?
A45200How comes the name of that goodly Planet in question?
A45200How comfortless, how desperate should be our lying down, if it were not for this assurance of rising?
A45200How contrary may the affections of Christ and ours be, and yet be both good?
A45200How could Heaven chuse but shake at such a Prayer from the Power that made it?
A45200How could he chuse but be heard of his Father, who was one with the Father?
A45200How could he imagine this to be John?
A45200How could she in that site wash his feet with her tears?
A45200How could she, that was full of God, be other then full of Joy in that God?
A45200How could that touch, that Call be other then effectual?
A45200How could the neighbours doe less then ask where he was that had done so strange a Cure?
A45200How could they chuse but fear lest their Master had, with himself, with- drawn that spiritual power which they had formerly exercised?
A45200How could they chuse but think, Were he not the Son of God, how could these things be?
A45200How could they ever fear to be miserable, that saw such precedents of their insuing glory?
A45200How could they think of a parting?
A45200How could we have avoided so formidable and deadly evils, if thou hadst not willingly undergone them?
A45200How could ye subsist, whilst he thus suffers in whom ye are?
A45200How cruel is a wicked heart, that can take pleasure in those things which have most horrour?
A45200How did the Kingdom of Heaven suffer an holy violence in these his followers?
A45200How did these Jewish bloud- suckers stand thunder- stricken with so unexpected a word?
A45200How did they sing, Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in?
A45200How did this man know what Jesus did?
A45200How did thy Blessed Mother now wish her veil upon thy shoulders?
A45200How didst thou struggle under the weight of our sins, that thou thus sweatest, that thou thus bleedest?
A45200How didst thou think of the miraculous formation of that thy Divine burthen by the power of the Holy Ghost?
A45200How didst thou vow, though thou shouldst die with thy Master, not to deny him?
A45200How didst thou, with thy carefull Husband spend that restless night in mutual expostulations, and bemoanings of your loss?
A45200How different are thy ways from ours?
A45200How do all things now seem to conspire to the vexing of the poor Disciples?
A45200How do they foam and gnash whom he hath drawn to an impatient repining at God''s afflictive hand?
A45200How do they pine away who hourly decay and languish in Grace?
A45200How do we follow thee, if we suffer either pleasures or profits to take the wall of thy services?
A45200How do we resemble him, if his life were all pain and labour, ours all pastime?
A45200How do ye vainly wish that he could deceive you in the fore- reporting of his own Resurrection?
A45200How dost thou now take notice of all our complaints, of all our infirmities?
A45200How dost thou raise their titles with thy self?
A45200How doth he tear and rack them whom he vexes and distracts with inordinate cares and sorrows?
A45200How durst thou yet resolve to lift up thy hand against him, who knows thine offence, and can either prevent or revenge it?
A45200How easie had it been for our Saviour, to have confounded Satan by the power of his Godhead?
A45200How easie had it been for thee, to have made place for thy self in the throngs of the stateliest Courts?
A45200How easily and how far may the best be miscarried with a common errour?
A45200How easily can they carry those Souls which are under their power to destruction?
A45200How easily could I rave at that rude hand?
A45200How easily couldst thou have done so here?
A45200How easily may our Reason or Sense befool us in Divine matters?
A45200How easily might they be mistaken?
A45200How easy is it for him that made the heart, to put either terrour or courage into it at pleasure?
A45200How else should a piece of wheaten bread nourish the Soul?
A45200How else should the world have seen thou canst be severe as well as meek and mercifull?
A45200How fain would he have freed Jesus, whom he found faultless?
A45200How familiar a word is this, Lazarus, come forth?
A45200How far then may our care reach to these earthly things?
A45200How fearfull is the consideration of the number of Apostate Angels?
A45200How few but would have faln into intemperate passions, into passionate expostulations?
A45200How fit was that to receive him, whose in- dwellers were hospital, pious, unanimous?
A45200How free was it for thy Father to convey seasonable consolations to thine humbled Soul, by whatsoever means?
A45200How full of terrours and inevitable perplexities is guiltiness?
A45200How glad wouldst thou have been, since this last news, to have had thy Daughter alive, though weak and sickly?
A45200How gladly did every tongue celebrate both the work and the authour?
A45200How gladly did they spend their breath in acclaiming thee?
A45200How gladly dost thou now resign thy grave to him in whom thou livest, and who liveth for ever, whose Soul is in Paradise, whose Godhead every- where?
A45200How gladly doth Peter afterwards recount it?
A45200How glorious did the Temple now seem, that the Owner was within the walls of it?
A45200How glorious did this Angel of thine appear?
A45200How glorious therefore was it for thee, O Saviour, how happy for us, that thou wert tempted?
A45200How graciously doth Jesus still prevent the Publican, as in his sight, notice, compellation, so in his invitation too?
A45200How graciously wouldst thou be sure to accept them?
A45200How had thy power been manifested, if no adversary had tried thee?
A45200How happily did they think their backs disrobed for thy way?
A45200How happily is that Net broken, whose rupture draws the Fisher to Christ?
A45200How happy a diversion of eyes and thoughts is this that you advise?
A45200How happy a thing it is when all the parties in a family are joyntly agreed to entertain Christ?
A45200How happy are we that have such a Redeemer as can command the Devils to their chains?
A45200How happy is it for us that thou prayedst?
A45200How happy were it, if in those wherein there is more perill, there were more remoteness, less silence?
A45200How idlely do Satan and wicked men measure God by the crooked line of their own misconceit?
A45200How ill do those two agree together?
A45200How ill is that gift bestowed, which dis- furnisheth thee, and adds nothing to the common stock?
A45200How ill would they become hands as guilty as her own?
A45200How inconstant is a carnall heart to good resolutions?
A45200How injurious a presumption is it for any man to name her whom God would have concealed?
A45200How irresistible is thy Power?
A45200How is he Almighty, that must save himself by flight?
A45200How is he not God, if his power be infinite?
A45200How is it then with thee, O Saviour, that thou thus astonishest men and Angels with so wofull a quiritation?
A45200How is it then?

A45200O Saviour, what do we seek for any precedent but thine, whose name we challenge?
A45200O Saviour, what doest thou else every day but invite thy self to us in thy Word, in thy Sacraments?
A45200O Saviour, what must thou needs feel when thou saidst so?
A45200O Saviour, whilst we desire our spirituall resuscitation, how should we labour to bring thee to our grave?
A45200O Saviour, whither should we have recourse but to thine Oracle?
A45200O Saviour, why should we not imitate thee in this mercifull improvement of our Senses?
A45200O Simon, thy Saviour is come into thine own ship to call thee, to call others by thee unto Blessedness, and dost thou say, Lord, goe from me?
A45200O blessed Apostle, can it be any wrong to say of thee that which thou hast written of thy self, not for insultation, not for exprobration?
A45200O blessed Syrophoenician, who taught thee this abstract of Divinity?
A45200O dear Jesu, how shouldst thou doe other then thirst?
A45200O dear Jesu, what a beginning is here of a Passion?
A45200O dear Saviour, who can miss, and not mourn for thee?
A45200O gracious and divine Zeal, the kindly warmth and vital temper of Piety, whither hast thou withdrawn thy self from the cold hearts of men?
A45200O grave, where is thy victory?
A45200O my Saviour, what an agony am I in, whilst I think of thine?
A45200O thou that saidst, I and my Father are one, dost thou suffer ought from thy Father but what thou wouldst, what thou determinedst?
A45200O thou weak Christian, was onely one or two lims of Christ''s body glorious in the Transfiguration, or the whole?
A45200O ye sons of men, how long will ye love vanity, and follow after lies?
A45200O ye sons of men, how long,& c?
A45200Of Nazareth, say you?
A45200Of whom do the Kings of the earth receive tribute?
A45200Oh how worthy is the King of Glory to command our eyes now in the highest pitch of his Heavenly exaltation?
A45200Oh what pangs were these, dear Jesu, that drew from thee this complaint?
A45200Oh what shall become of us, that reel and fall in the clearest Sun- shine that ever looked forth upon any Church?
A45200Once, when Peter ask''d thee a question concerning John, What shall this man doe?
A45200One grain of Faith in thy very Disciples was enough to remove mountains; and dost thou say, Take away the stone?
A45200Onwards thy pretence is fair, and such as can not but receive applause from thy compacted crue; What need have we of witnesses?
A45200Or how could that at once be which Moses and Elias had told him, and that which he wished?
A45200Or is this according to the just constitution of the old and decrepit age of the world, into which we are fallen?
A45200Or was it chiefly for the Woman''s sake; for the praise of her Faith, for the securing of her Conscience?
A45200Or was it in a representation of that loud voice of the last Trumpet, which shall sound into all graves, and raise all flesh from their dust?
A45200Or was it out of an honour and respect to Christ, that in his presence she would not presume to call off her Sister without his leave?
A45200Or was it out of cunning?
A45200Or was it rather for that thou couldst not?
A45200Or was it rather out of partiality?
A45200Or was it that this phrase doth not so much import posture as presence?
A45200Others indeed I have vexed, thee I fear: in respect then of any violence, of any personal provocation, What have I to doe with thee?
A45200Our desires are uttered in our Prayers: What can we wish but to have what we would?
A45200Perhaps Pilate supposed some such business now on foot, and therefore asks so curiously, Art thou the King of the Jews?
A45200Pilate had given leave to break the bones of the living, he gave no leave to goar the side of the dead: what wicked superrerogation is this?
A45200Pilate had helpt to kill him; but who shall keep him from rising?
A45200Pilate takes this intimation at the first bound; Art thou then the King of the Jews?
A45200Quae nunc nos angit vesania vitiorum, sitire absynthium,& c?
A45200Quantum mali facit nimia subtilitas?
A45200Said he formally thus as ye have deposed?
A45200Saidst thou not well, O Saviour, I have chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Devil?
A45200Satan himself with a Bible under his arm, with a Text in his mouth, It is written, He shall give his Angels charge over thee?
A45200Say then, thou wife of Zebedee, what is it that thou cravest of thine Omnipotent kinsman?
A45200Shall none be seen with him in the Tabor of Heaven but those which have seen him in Horeb and Carmel?
A45200Shall we yet call this a suit, or a complaint?
A45200She did not murmur, not whisper, but cry out: couldst thou but pity, but regard her that was as good as she was miserable?
A45200She knew him what he was; and could therefore speak to thee, as brought in by his mediation, Art not thou also one of this man''s Disciples?
A45200She says not, Who and whence art thou?
A45200Shew our selves to the Priests?
A45200Shouldst thou, O God, stand strictly upon the punctual degrees of knowledge, how wide would it goe with millions of Souls?
A45200Since thou wert so fervent, why didst thou not rather fall upon that Treachour that betray''d him, then that Sergeant that arrested him?
A45200Sir, it is too little for our selves; whence shall we then relieve our own hunger?
A45200Sixteen hundred years are now passed since you wished your selves thus wretched: have ye not been ever since the hate and scorn of the world?
A45200Sleepest thou, Peter?
A45200So as now the neighbours can say, Is this the man?
A45200Speak out, woman; what is this certain thing that thou cravest?
A45200Still the sacred Tribe challengeth reverence: who cares how little they receive, how much they pay?
A45200Still, O Saviour, dost thou walk through our Jericho: what would become of us, if thou shouldst stay till we seek thee alone?
A45200Surely there is no Angel in Heaven but would have been proud to attend thee; and what could the earth afford worthy of thy train?
A45200Surely, they were not verier Lepers then we: why do we not imitate them in their actions, who are too like them in our condition?
A45200THE sentence of Death is past, and now who can with dry eyes behold the sad pomp of my Saviour''s bloudy execution?
A45200Tell me then, Herod, what could the people doe at the worst?
A45200That enmity that spared not to strike at the head, will it forbear the weakest and remotest limb?
A45200That sight had well fore- arm''d and prepared them for this: how could they be dismay''d to see his trouble, who there saw his Majesty?
A45200The Angels did attend thee, they did not aid thee: whence had they their strength but from thee?
A45200The Disciples see the blind man too, but with different eyes: our Saviour for pity and cure, they for expostulation; Master, who did sin?
A45200The Disciples, who were not used to these affronts, can not but be troubled at their mis- success: Master, why could not we cast him out?
A45200The Feast ended, what should they doe but return to Nazareth?
A45200The Lion shall roar, who shall not be afraid?
A45200The Swine ran down violently; what marvell is it if their Keepers fled?
A45200The attending Disciples could not be to seek for an answer; which of the Prophets have not put it into their mouths?
A45200The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
A45200The first Fole of the Ass is commanded, under the Law, to have his neck broken: what is that to us?
A45200The mannerly Collectours demand it first of him, with whom they might be more bold; Doth not your Master pay tribute?
A45200The noise of the Gospel is common; but where is the power of it?
A45200The offender is worthy of stoning, but who shall cast them?
A45200The onely thought they now take is, Who shall roll away the stone?
A45200The throne of David did so fill their eyes, that they could not see his Cross: and if they must let down this Pill, how bitter must it needs be?
A45200The touch of an ordinary( though honest) Jew was their pollution; how much more the presence of a Strumpet?
A45200The very heathen Poet could say, A Jove principium: and which of those verse- mongers ever durst write a ballad without imploring of some Deity?
A45200The wicked Spirits have their wish; the Swine are choaked in the waves: What ease is this to them?
A45200The world is your servant: if it were your Parasite, yet could it make you heartily merry?
A45200These are such as must hold the Devils themselves( their Masters) unto the judgment of the great Day; how much more those impotent Vassals?
A45200These are the tongues that must win the whole world to an assent; and durst thou the first man detrect to yield?
A45200They stand not silent therefore, but, directing their speech to the amazed beholders, say, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing into Heaven?
A45200They told thee, We have seen the Lord; was not this enough?
A45200They well knew that Stars did not use to attend earthly Kings; and if their aim had not been higher, what was a Jewish King to Persian Strangers?
A45200Think that Christ saith to thee at every Sermon as he did to Peter, Etiam, Petre, dormis?
A45200This Day, this Deep they tremble at: what shall I say of those men that fear it not?
A45200This journey thou hast purposed and contrived; but what neededst thou to acquaint thy Disciples with thine intent?
A45200This piece of the clause was spoken like a Saint, Jesus, the Son of the Most high God: the other piece like a Devil, What have I to doe with thee?
A45200This was the Place: what was the Use of it?
A45200Those tears which she did let drop into the Sepulcher, send up back to her the voice of those Angels, Woman, why weepest thou?
A45200Thou a challenger of temporall Sovereignty, who avoidedst it, renouncedst it, professedst to come to serve?
A45200Thou a forbidder of Tribute, who payedst it, who prescribedst it, who provedst it to be Caesar''s due?
A45200Thou a perverter of the Nation, who taughtest the way of God truely?
A45200Thou also supposes the first acknowledged such; yet what crime, what danger was urged upon that noted Disciple?
A45200Thou art God all- sufficient; what can we want when we want not thee?
A45200Thou not long since saidst, I and my Father are one: Are ye now severed?
A45200Thou who hadst said, One of you is a Devil, didst not now say, Avoid, Satan; but, Friend, wherefore art thou come?
A45200Thus unconceivably heavy was the revenge: but what was the offence?
A45200Thy Pulpit shall I call it, or thine Oratory?
A45200To carve a man out of thine own dish, what could it seem to argue but a singularity of respect?
A45200To what purpose did thy spear pierce so many hearts in that one?
A45200To whom should we complain of any want, but to the Maker and Giver of all things?
A45200To whom should we have recourse in all our spiritual complaints but to the agents and messengers of God?
A45200To whom then dost thou send her?
A45200Unto this, how weakly didst thou, because of Christ''s silent admission of the woman, suppose him ignorant of her quality?
A45200WAS this then thy first Miracle, O Saviour, that thou wroughtest in Cana of Galilee?
A45200WEll might these Wise men have suspected Herod''s Secrecy: If he had meant well, what needed that whispering?
A45200WHat a Preface do I find to my Saviour''s Passion?
A45200WHat a busie life was this of Christ''s?
A45200WHat flocking there was after Christ which way soever he went?
A45200Was it a modest kind of mannerliness in Martha, that she would not have Christ annoyed with the ill sent of that stale carkass?
A45200Was it a question of applause, or of contempt, or of ignorance?
A45200Was it because it had not been so great an advantage to thee that he should fall by thy means, as by his own?
A45200Was it for that Martha, being the elder Sister, and the huswife of the family, might stir about with less observation?
A45200Was it for that their malice held a quick dispatch too much Mercy?
A45200Was it for that thou, who knewest thine own strength, knewest also their weakness?
A45200Was it for that thy Disciples, being of thy robe, might justly seem interessed in the liberties of their Master?
A45200Was it for that ye would not defile your selves with the contagion of an Heathen roof?
A45200Was it for that, whilst they meant to be bloudy, they would fain seem just?
A45200Was it for thy own sake; that the glory of the Miracle might thus come to light, which otherwise had been smothered in silence?
A45200Was it in a mild taxation of her mistaking?
A45200Was it in obedience to the Law?
A45200Was it not then, as now, that the weakest soonest suffers; and impotency lays us open to the malice of an enemy?
A45200Was it not with thy Father and thee as it was with thee and Moses?
A45200Was it out of necessity?
A45200Was it out of the strength of thy Faith, which assured thee thou neededst not shew thy Servant to him who saw all things?
A45200Was it possible that the wit of Envy could devise so high a Slander?
A45200Was it that our Saviour did not sit at the Feast,( after our fashion,) but, according to the then- Jewish and Roman fashion, lay on the one side?
A45200Was it that the greatness of the voice might answer to the greatness of the work?
A45200Was it that the guilty wretch upon the fact done subduced himself, and shrouded his false head under the wings of darkness?
A45200Was it that the strength of the voice might answer to the strength of the affection?
A45200Was it that thou couldst not so suddenly apprehend the odious depth of that Villany, and instantly hate him that had been thy old companion?
A45200Was it that though Judas were more faulty, yet Malchus was more imperiously cruell?
A45200Was it that thy amazedness as yet conceived not the purposed issue of this seizure, and astonishedly waited for the success?
A45200Was it that thy heart misgave thee thou mightest be called to account for Malchus?
A45200Was it the fear of Death?
A45200Was it to shew thy liberty in not always equally exercising the power of thy Deity?
A45200Was it to signifie that Lazarus his Soul was called from far; the speech must be loud that shall be heard in another world?
A45200Was it to teach us that in the distribution of our goods we should expect his blessing, not in their intireness and reservation?
A45200Was it to teach us that there is less danger in suffering then in outward prosperity?
A45200Was not Jerusalem the Spouse of Christ?
A45200Was not that Face fit to be spat upon, from the dreadfull aspect whereof ye are ready to desire the mountains to cover you?
A45200Was not that Hand fit for a Reed, whose iron Scepter crushes you to death?
A45200Was not that Head fit for your Thorns, which you now see crowned with Glory and Majesty?
A45200Was not this one of those Swords of Simeon, which should pierce through thy tender breast?
A45200Was not this( think we) out of similitude of condition?
A45200Was there ever people under Heaven that was made so famous a spectacle of misery and desolation?
A45200Was this measure fit to be offered to that Sacred Body that was conceived by the Holy Ghost of the pure substance of an immaculate Virgin?
A45200Was this to shew thy liberty, or thy power?
A45200We are as great sinners as the consorts of these Publicans, why should we despair of a room at thy Table?
A45200We can cast away admiration upon the poor devices or activities of men; how much more upon the extraordinary works of Omnipotency?
A45200We can soon be set, but whence shall we be served?
A45200We have still the same conduct: Let the path be what it will, how can we miscarry in the hand of a Father?
A45200We may rejoyce in others forwardness; but if we rest in it, how small joy shall it be to us, to see them go to Heaven without us?
A45200We see the birds of the air provided for by him; how rarely have we found any of them dead of hunger?
A45200Were there not ten cleansed?
A45200Were these the terms that you heard from that Sacred mouth?
A45200Were this example binding, who should be rich to give?

A45200What a service was here to be brought into a Feast, especially to a Woman?

A45200how could they be dismay''d to see his Body now sweat, which they had then seen to shine?

A16151After this you are bold, and aske if any dare doubt of your doctrine?
A16151Againe if this were no prerogatiue, what need was there, that Dauid should be a Prophet by speciall reuelation to know this much?
A16151Againe, can you find vs an Infinite wrath in God, that is not properly wrath?
A16151Againe, what can resist the power and will of God?
A16151Againe, what force created could wrest his soule from him being God, and man, but at his liking?

A16151And did ● … od, thi ● … ke you, eternally decree and appoint his Sonne to be bound to the Law?
A16151And how come you now in your heate so hastily to determine, where hell is, which not long since you called rashnesse in me?
A16151And how come you now to put so great a difference betwixt alwaies and vsually, where before you did interpret alwaies to be ordinarily?
A16151And how could Christes sufferings be glorious, if they were like the reprobate or the damned?

A16151And in plaine reason how agreeth this word principall, either with proper or with immediate, both which are ioyned by you with it?
A16151And in the page precedent doe you not againe and againe auouch the same exactnesse of knowledge in Christ at the time of his praiers?
A16151And indeed how could it be naturall, since feare can not by nature cause a bloudy sweate?
A16151And is it no paine to be possessed with the diuell in body or mind, as we read of many in the Gospell?
A16151And is this all that now you would say, that Christ found no ioy in his paines?
A16151And least you should not be constant in your manifest contradiction, doe you not insist on the same words in your defence?

A16151And therefore Moses giueth this for a rule of true deuotion and submission vnder the mighty hand of God; Who knoweth the power of thy wrath?
A16151And though Austen aske, s Who dare auouch that Christ died in soule, or in his humane spirit?
A16151And to what purpose lay you these bands on Christ?
A16151And troe you, the soules of the Saints be well and quietly content to lacke their appointed felicitie?

A16151And what our flesh?
A16151And what proofe is this of Gods proper wrath and indignation laid on the soule of Christ, that the wicked derided him, as they doe God himselfe?
A16151And what shall I say?
A16151And what should hinder Ezechiah to say, the time of my life is ended, or the place of mine abode heere on earth is remooued or passed away?

A16151And who, besides you, so deepely doteth, as to charge an expositour with saying somewhat besides the text?
A16151And why is that, but because the corruption of sinne dwelleth in our bodies, which is not meet for the kingdome of God?

A16151Are not the parts of heauen infinitely one aboue another, and yet all are heauen?
A16151Are the pains of hell& the death of the damned come now to SOMEWHAT EXTRAORDINARIE?
A16151Are the places or states of heauen and hell nothing, but an opposition to our visible estate in this world?

A16151As how?
A16151As if all the powers of the Soule obeying the will, that is euill, were not subiect and se ● … uants to sinne, as well as the minde?
A16151As if it were no part thereof, but a different thing from the spirit?

A16151Aske of me, and I will giue thee the Gentils for thine inheritance?
A16151At least you dreame so, but where are the words, that expresse any such thing, as you take vpon you to maintaine?

A16151Be impossibilities generall, and necessarie with you?
A16151Be these the proofes whereon you pinne the paines of hell suffered in Christes soule?
A16151Be those naturall, or sinfull feares in vs?
A16151Because I sayd to thee, I saw thee vnder the figge tree, beleeuest thou?
A16151Because the Apostle saith, He was made a curse?
A16151Bede who exactly followeth Ieroms words?
A16151Belonged, what is that?
A16151But Adam liued still; how then died he?
A16151But Christ, you say, is not named in either of those questions, who( shal or) can ascend to heauen?
A16151But Sir, by what autho ● … ity doe you take vpon you to interprete Gods will by the cracking of an old stoole?
A16151But admit the words to be ment of Christs humane soule, what reason call you this?
A16151But admit, that suffering onely were the ransome of our sinnes; what will follow?
A16151But by what Grammar doth affectus signifie hell paines?
A16151But by what Scriptures I pray you haue you shewed it, or by what Fathers?
A16151But come to your purpose, and apply this to Christ, for thither you bend and thereat you shoote; is your diuision true in the sufferings of Christ?
A16151But did not Christ perfectly know that this was Gods decree and certaine appointment, yea his owne most free will and purpose?]
A16151But doth repentance kill or quicken the soule?
A16151But euen here doe I not expressely say, that it sheweth forth how Christs body was broken for vs?]
A16151But for vs he said, My God my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A16151But graunt the soule of Christ did suffer for sinne without concurrence of the body; must it needs follow, he therefore suffered the paines of hell?
A16151But how commeth your disc ● … etion to charge Christes affections with immoderation?
A16151But how could Dauid say, he was conceiued in sinne, when at the time of his conception he had neither bodie nor soule?]
A16151But how doth the sense, which I giue, impugne faith and charitie?
A16151But if God did propose it, and Christ did most certainly know it, and expect it; had faith and hope in him no present sense nor feeling?
A16151But let vs heare what you impugne, and how?
A16151But others not then well acquainted with Christian Religion being the writers thereof, how easily might they report the one, and omit the other?

A16151But what do I say?
A16151But what hath the Christian faith to doe with these monstrous and impious conceits of yours?
A16151But what if in all this you speake not one true word?
A16151But what is the reason, they so soone speake with you, where not fiue lines before you controled their speech, as repugnant to the truth?
A16151But what is there in these words on which you so stoutly stand, and so confidently crake, that helpeth your deuice forward?
A16151But what is this great ouersight, that is so much repugnant to the Scripture?
A16151But what is this to the death of Christes soule, if it were an humane soule and not equall with his Deitie?
A16151But what is this to your purpose?
A16151But what maketh either of those for your hell paines?
A16151But what might be?
A16151But what praise is it, if when yee be buffeted for your faults, you take it patiently?
A16151But what saith the Catechisme, that Christ was bound to suffer for vs, or did endure the same damnation which we d ● … serued?
A16151But what was it that Christ willed his Disciples to feare?
A16151But what will follow then?
A16151But what will you not say, that speaking both monstrously and falsely in your firie humor, salue it all with as it were?
A16151But whence ill thinking commeth, can you tell?
A16151But where doth the Scripture expresse, that Christs feare, sorrow, and discomfort caused his Agonie?
A16151But where is your warrant in the Scriptures, that the burning of sacrifices when they were dead, signified the sufferings of Christes soule?
A16151But where?

A16151But who besides you would warble thus in so waighty matters?
A16151But who euer said so, that knew his left hand from his right?
A16151But who maketh that blockish Antecedent besides your selfe?
A16151But who warranteth this interpretation besides your selfe?
A16151But why are you so curious in other mens Similitudes, that are so carelesse of your own?
A16151But why cite I the Fathers, that Christ did not feare either death or hell?]
A16151But why doe you not first prooue it, and after presume it?
A16151But why it should not be maruelous, haue you any reason?
A16151But why persue I your follies so farre, as if they were not peeuish pangues of your vnsetled braines?
A16151But will you of your owne head make figures to fit your fansies, and then claime the same prerogatiue, which God himselfe hath?
A16151But( Sir discourser) why coyne you conclusions in christian Religion, that must haue three or foure exceptions to saue them from open impietie?
A16151By the whole sacrifice meane you the whole person of Christ, that gaue himselfe for vs?
A16151By what hold- fast hangeth this together, but by your headynesse, that will say any thing?
A16151By what other death( saith Ambrose) then by the death of the body, did Christ breake the bands of death?
A16151Call you this greater perfection in him than in other men, to pray expressely against the knowne will of his Father, yea against his owne?]
A16151Call you this the clearing, or the crossing of Saint Austins words?
A16151Can it be an enemie to Christ, and yet a blessing to the godly?
A16151Can it both comprehend all paines that haue meanes, and yet bee without all meanes?
A16151Can men haue leasure or list to doe or desire any of these things in the true torments of hell?
A16151Can not your heauy head discerne, when I report and refute Pagans opinions, and when I propose points of Christian religion?
A16151Can the soule be in bondage for sinne, and the body bee free?
A16151Can the soule bee accursed for sinning, and the body be blessed as not sinning?

A16151For asking by way of a Dialogue, b whither went Christs soule after death?
A16151For can men commit these facts without their bodies, or are their bodies requisite as well as their soules before they can commit these facts?
A16151For did he but begin, when he swet clotted bloud trickling from his body to the ground?

A16151He that came by his passion to destroy death, and the author of death, how should he saue sinners if he would haue resisted his pursuers?
A16151Heare Ambrose him selfe s In quo nisi in corpore, expiauit populi peceata?
A16151Hence you would infer, that after these forty daies Christ was not tempted; but which way?
A16151Here we see what your wisedome doth and sayth; but what saith the Apostle?
A16151How can a man lose his soule for Christ, but by laying downe his life for Christ?
A16151How can any suffer at Gods hand, except he be reputed sinnefull?]
A16151How can your obiections be waightie that speake neuer a true word?
A16151How cleere is this that he maketh hades and inferos euen in Luke also to be nothing but the common state and world of the dead?]
A16151How come you then against all learning and trueth to collect that Christs soule was crucified?
A16151How come you then to applie this to the person or state, not seene any more in this world, by which you would exclude Angels from being in hades?
A16151How doth S. Iohn make Hades consequent after Thanatos, and say Hades followed after him?
A16151How doth this prooue, that Christs soule was dead during the time of his Pa ● … sion?
A16151How expound you these words of the Apostle?
A16151How farre are these things from all communion of the wicked?
A16151How fell he then thrice into it?
A16151How is this repugnant either to my selfe, or to the trueth?
A16151How many points of faith are not subiect to sense?
A16151How much lesse can he torment the soule or worke therein, but he must likewise possesse it, and haue it in his power, before he can afflict it?
A16151How much lesse then doth your Suretie resemble the paines of the damned suffered in the Soule of Christ, as you say, from the immediate hand of God?
A16151How osten is it written of the Israelites, that they saw the glory of the Lord; and yet they were ouerthrowen in the wildernesse?
A16151How prooue you now, that he was bound thus to doe, or that the Law did allow vs Suerties?
A16151How prooue you the Prophet meant so?
A16151How shall the soule remaine alone, the bodie not present, that sinned together with it?
A16151How shall we know this to bee Ambrose meaning?
A16151How then could the dead bodies of those beasts cut in peeces and quite consumed with fire, represent the inward and proper sufferings of the soule?
A16151How then doe the paines of hell excuse him from praying against his Fathers knowen will?
A16151How then doe you conclude from my speech; that Christ was vsed in all things, as sinners are both here, and in hell?
A16151How then doth it follow, that Christ was weake, because Paul was weake?
A16151How then doth this exclude the rest of the causes, which are there precedent or consequent?
A16151How then is their state opposite to our visible state?
A16151How then shall that, which wholy and finally ceaseth, be cast into hell?
A16151How thinke you Sir, is it true or false which I sayd, that the soule is often called flesh because of her corruption, as well as the bodie?
A16151How thinke you Sir?
A16151How was he made our Partner but by flesh; and by what death, other than the death of his bodie, did he dissolue the bands of death?
A16151How?
A16151I answere, do you heare, that you grosly mistake the Apostle, if you make the soule and the spirit two seuerall substances in man?
A16151I aske whether penitent sorow be not painfull, because it is religious and faithfull?
A16151I did and do so say; what then?
A16151I meane not depending on her owne cogitations or actions, from the immediate hand of God?
A16151I must be baptised with a baptisme; and how am I grieued till it be ended?
A16151I persist still in the same minde, what change finde you in me?
A16151I pray you Sir where did Iacob thin ● … that ● … osephs soule was after death, or that his owne should be?
A16151I pray you what oddes is this that you make betweene inward and outward temptations?]
A16151I pray, who is that enemie which must be satisfied?
A16151I remember it well, what then?
A16151I said Christs soule might suffer for sinne: what collect you thence?
A16151IN QVO NISI IN CORPORE, expia ● … t peccata populi?
A16151IN QVO PASSVS EST, NISI IN CORPORE?
A16151If Christes desire were good, as now you grant, before this correction( and how could any thing be but good, which proceeded from him?)
A16151If God be then in the highest, in the lowest, and in the midst; whither can we flee from him, who is euery where?
A16151If Gods power be not tied to the course of nature prescribed vs, will you thence inferre, that we are likewise freed from it?
A16151If NOVV it be so, which BEFORE it was not; then BEFORE, what else could it be to the godly, but a punishment of sinne?
A16151If all the Angels adored him, when he came into the world; what did they, when he ascended to heauen?
A16151If he did not feare it, how could he suffer it, since he was not ignorant what should befall him?
A16151If it be a blessing, why doe we beleeue, or hope to be free from a blessing?
A16151If it be truth that you teach, why speake you not more directly and particularly, what it was that Christ suffered from the diuell?
A16151If it clensed the offender, how could it de ● … ile the sacrificer, who was the Mediatour to God for abolishing sin?
A16151If it comprehend all other paines, that are mediate, and those as well priuatiue, as positiue; how is it then immediate?
A16151If it could not, what is that to this purpose?
A16151If it first( begin) with vs( saith Peter) what shall be the end of them, who obey not the Gospell of God?
A16151If it were common to the bodie, how was it proper to the soule?
A16151If it were proper to the soule, how was it common to the bodie?
A16151If none without exception could goe fro heauen to hel, as you would construe Abrahams speach, how fell the Diuell and his Angels from heauen to hell?
A16151If one word in the sentence be figuratiue, will you conclude all the rest to be figuratiue?
A16151If the death of the bodie be good to the good, f quo modo poterit obtineri, quòd etiam ipsa sit poena peccati?
A16151If the opinions were onely theirs and not mine, would you the rather reuile them as fond and absurd, because they were wholly theirs, and no way mine?
A16151If then there be ioy in hope, how could Christ want ioy, if he wanted not hope?
A16151If then we be saued from these things by Christ, how much more must Christ him selfe be saued from them, before he could saue others?
A16151If then we haue comfort from Gods grace and spirit in our afflictions, how much more did consolations abound in Christ, euen as sufferings did?
A16151If then we reioyce vnder the hope of glory, did not he?
A16151If these be your bishoply blessings, what are your cursings?]
A16151If they doe, name them; if not, how set I my selfe to prooue materiall fire in hell, without any words or proofes sounding that way?
A16151If they were, what is that to the goodnesse of your cause?
A16151If we stop our eares against the word of God, shall not that wilfull deafenesse of ours turne to the deserued destruction of Body and Soule?
A16151If you and your instructors see the falsenesse of this collection, with what face vrge you so earnestly the same illation from Peters words?
A16151If you flie for helpe to actuall sinne; haue children actuall sinne in their mothers wombes, or as soone as they haue reasonable soules?
A16151If you had sayd foolely, I might the sooner haue beleeued you: for what is there in that answere, but extreame pride and follie?
A16151If you regard the Catechisme so highly as you pretend, why slippe you from it in these or other points at your pleasure?
A16151If you separate none of these, what then is it that you separate from the soule of Christ to proue it dead?
A16151If you so much reuerence the Scriptures, as you report, which were to be wished you would, why deuise you doctrine not expressed in the Scriptures?
A16151If your fatherly admonitions are such, what are your Lordly rebukes?
A16151In deed Sir Discourser?
A16151In infernum,& c. To what place did Christ descend?
A16151In quo passus est nisi in corpore?
A16151In the words of our Sauiour likewise, Now is my soule troubled; and what shall I say?
A16151In these words, ô death where is thy sting?
A16151In this you say, I charge you all in vaine; and why so?

A16151Is it any position of mine that the Iewish sacrifices, and Christian Sacraments doe not signifie any more then the bodily and bloudie death of Christ?
A16151Is it any sophistrie or absurditie to speake as the Spirit of God speaketh in the Scriptures?
A16151Is it cleere enough, that the paines of the damned are sometimes executed here in this life on the reprobate, and that by Gods immediate hand?
A16151Is it hell in Christian Religion?
A16151Is it not all one in this deliberation, whether we propose the parts by interrogation, condition, or proposition?
A16151Is it not enough to draw the Scriptures to Platoes fabulous conceits, but you must grosly falsifie Plato to fit your new made hades?

A16151Is it possible for men in this mortall flesh and life to endure the true paines of hell, and of the damned?

A16151Might Christ doe nothing, but he must first acquaint you with it, that you take so straight a view, who went vp to heauen with him?
A16151Might not those godly men( thinke you) misse in some such circumstances, although the Scripture can not?]
A16151Mors ibi quid faceret, quo vitae portitor ibat?
A16151My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A16151Nay how could he either clense vs, or reconcile vs to God, if he were sinfull,& hatefull to God as well as we?
A16151Nay who but you would so peremptorily trample vpon the credits of such men, with a proud presumption of the text before you did better examine it?

A16151Now I pray you what allowance finde you here for your new erected hell, or how force you my words to fit your deuises?

A16151Say not in thine heart, Who shall descend to the bottomlesse deepe?
A16151Secondly where euer read you in the Scriptures, that the Iewes raized persecutions against any, for commending the afflictions of the godly?
A16151Secondly, be you now of the minde that the Godly doe sometimes feele a Tast of Gods wrath?
A16151Sed numquid Christo fortiores?
A16151See we not the same confirmed by the Scriptures?
A16151Shall all things that proceed from one cause, or that haue one generall wherein they agree, be all of one and the same nature?
A16151Shall death preuaile against the Soule for sin, and the Body escape death as voyd of sinne?
A16151Shall men be blessed, and enioy Gods kingdome for suffering as the beasts doe?
A16151Shall not the Iudge of the world doe iudgement?
A16151Shall one and the same fire in one and the same sacrifice import both gracious acceptance with God, and terrible vengeance from God?
A16151Shall shee therefore not bee seuered, or haue no being, when shee is seuered?
A16151Shall the iudgement of God cease?
A16151Shall they therefore remaine children for euer in minde, and not discerne either their happinesse in heauen, or their wretchednesse in hell?
A16151Shall we auouch these reprobates were in heauen in this life, because they had once the very same graces in nature, which the elect haue?
A16151Shall we claime power ouer Gods spirit, as we doe ouer pledges, that are in our possession?
A16151Shall we say, that the dragon and his angels, euen the Diuell and his assistants, preuailed against Christ, because they resisted and encountered him?
A16151Shall we then say, the heathen haue the very same knowledge of God by his workes, which the Angels in heauen haue by the sight of himselfe?
A16151Shall we then thinke that the Diuels faith is the very same in nature with our Christian faith?
A16151Shall we thence inferre by your diuinitie, that God will cast all the faithfull into hell, because he hath power so to doe, which they must feare?
A16151Shall we therefore ascribe all these persecutions, delusions, and transgressions to Gods immediat action?
A16151Shall we therefore neuer be saued, because we must alwayes tremble and feare vnder the mightie hand of God?
A16151Shall we therefore say, the ioyes of heauen are death?
A16151Shall we thinke he said nothing all that while in his praiers, but only these words O my father if it be possible, let this cupe passe from me?
A16151Shall your dominion of bodily death euerlastingly burne in hell?
A16151Should we not much more be subiect to the Father of spirits?
A16151Since what time began your Now?
A16151Sinne, shall it not be displeasing to God, because it humbleth the faithfull by repentance?
A16151So Chrysostom conceiueth our Sauiours words, I do not say, saue me from this houre; And why?
A16151So Tertullian n Cur non putes animam& puniri& foueri in inferis sub expectatione vtriusque iudicij in quadam vsurpatione& candida eius?
A16151So that against the death of the soule, Tertullians words are pregnant:) for how did the soule die, that was commended into Gods hands?)
A16151So that this was Christs meaning, why doest thou suffer me to be thus afflicted?
A16151So that you were not well in your wits, when with such an heat and huffe you cried out o What a Pradoxe is it, yea what impietie?
A16151So when Iob sayth, The Lord hath giuen, and the Lord hath taken it; did he meane that God tooke it with his immediate hand?
A16151Some will aske, How or why doest thou reioyce in the Lords crosse?
A16151Still what trifling is this?
A16151Suffered the iust for the vniust?
